Those that oppose or ignore the great truths given to Paul by Jesus Christ for the body of Christ as doctrine will have to answer to Jesus Christ directly at his return. Denominational beliefs and bias notwithstanding.
May God forgive you, James, you are blind and locked down in Paul's writings, that makes you blind to the rest of the Bible. The whole bible is about the atoning sacrifice Jesus made for us. There is no secret about that and how to be saved. But you are so puffed up in yourself and what you think, you think you have found some great secret, let me say there is no secret in salvation. It's so simple it can not be misunderstood.
If the NAD do not get what they wont, I think there will be a division in the SDA denomination. It will be about women ordination. That is why the video is circulating for unity.
And when this happen the floodgate well be wide open for everything to come into the church, like LGBT, non gender, ext.
You are kidding That sda wear jewlery!
Women pastors was solved already on 2015! Finally!
NAD will be separated from all others!
greetings to all in the name of the most high.
we know this saying from the bible ..
WE ALL HAVE FALLEN SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD, we are all in sin.
with me saying this ..does not mean me condoning Gay practice, Jewelry, worldly things of sin to enter.
the word also says .. COME AS YOU ARE , but its does not say to STAY AS YOU ARE, because eventually we all are mean to be changed from our sinfull habbits in the name of Jesus.
so go and sin no more.
This was prophesied to happen. The "new organization" that Sister White saw in vision came to fruition. It is new because it is not built upon the same doctrinal and organizational foundation that our pioneers established. The GCSDA is disorganized and that is why it is dividing. What we need now is a reorganization upon our original foundation.
Not division but separation between those faithful and unfaithful.
No one knows for sure who the faithfull or unfaithfull really are , since we cannot read minds or motives . Thats why Jesus said let them grow togather until the day of harvest .
The division began around 1952 when for the first time some church leaders began to say that Christ took on a sinless nature and contradicted the bible as well as a core church belief. That division has simply grown stronger and larger. Separation of wheat and tares. the shaking time.
If "sin is what you do", then Jesus could have a sinful nature just like us, without choosing to sin. This opens the door to behaviorism, however. Because it means that I don't need to be cleansed of my sinful nature, just get with the program and stop committing sinful actions.
If "sin is who you are", then Jesus was not born separated from God, like we are, and had a different nature. This opens the door to questions about whether Jesus really experienced life as we do, and whether He had an advantage not available to us.


Activity of the users on social network sites provides an important source of knowledge for business intelligence and individual behavior from their social relationships. Conformity behavior explains the changes that appear in one's behavior under the influence of other people, is considered a particularly important facet of human existence in social environment. Social network sites, like Facebook provide a great platform to study conformity elements such as subordination to particular patterns of values, opinions, rules, and standards of conduct that exist in a particular social group and its' influence on market behaviors. This paper analyzed the conformity behavior of 175 Facebook users, mostly college students, through an experimental study using Facebook Graph API protocol and a follow-up user survey. An exploratory analysis on the data show positive correlations between conformity behavior and the posting activity of our study group. Preliminary analysis from this study provides promising insights on conformity behavior which has good business value for marketing and product promotions.

Climate change: 'Wetlands vital to protect cities'
By Navin Singh Khadka Environment Correspondent, BBC World Service

Cities around the world are frequently flooding during extreme weather, largely because they are fast losing the wetlands that work as a natural defence, experts warn.
Wetlands are ecosystems like lakes, rivers, marshes and peatlands, as well as coastal marine areas including mangroves and coral reefs.
The experts say wetlands work as a giant sponge that soaks up and stores extra rainfall and water from storm surges.
Conservation of these water bodies in urban areas was the focus of an international meeting on wetlands that concluded in Dubai on Monday.
Disappearing wetlands
The warning follows an alarming recent report that the world's wetlands are disappearing three times faster than forests.
Image copyright Suncheon City municipality government
Image caption The world has lost more than a third of its wetlands in the last half century
The recent study by the global wetland convention found that nearly 35% of the world's wetlands were lost between 1970 and 2015.
Latin America has seen the highest rate of loss – nearly 60% in that period – while Africa lost 42%, according to the report.
Urban encroachment
To safeguard flood control and other benefits, the international meeting on wetlands has launched accreditation for cities that conserve wetlands.
Under this scheme, 18 cities around the world have so far been recognised as conserving their wetlands.
Image copyright Francesca Negrini
Image caption Cities and wetlands are often uneasy neighbours
Expanding cities frequently encroach on wetlands because they are often viewed as wasteland to be used for other purposes, such as dumping sites.
About half of the world's population today lives in urban areas and the figure is expected to increase to nearly 70% by 2050.
"The idea of accreditation for cities is to make them realise the value of wetlands and to integrate them into urban planning," Lew Young, a wetland expert with the Wetland Convention, told the BBC.
"On the top of the list of benefits of having wetlands is an increased resilience against natural disasters, including Tsunamis."
Cities at risk
Scientists have long warned that climate change will bring extreme rainfall and powerful sea-storms that could flood cities.
They say lakes, marshlands and river-floodplains absorb excess rainfall, while saltmarshes and mangroves work as a buffer against storm surges.
Image caption Wetlands supply us with freshwater and act as a sponge to soak up excess rainfall
Some experts also claim inland wetlands are five times more economically valuable than tropical forests.
They provide – directly or indirectly – almost all of the world's supply of freshwater, and so are critical to human and planet life.
The recent report by the Wetland Convention said more than one billion people depended on them for a living, and 40% of the world's plant and animal species lived and bred in wetlands.
The convention warned, however, that wetlands remained dangerously undervalued by policy and decision-makers in countries' national plans.

Bayern Munich beat Borussia Dortmund with 0:1 in the DFB-Pokal quarter-final after a brilliant Robben strike in the 43rd minute. It was a feeling of revenge for FC Bayern Munich after last season's DFB Cup final defeat (5:2) and underlined their status as the best team in Germany.
Bayern started with Mandzukic on top and Robben and Muller on the wings. Dortmund manager Klopp had to replace defender Matt Hummels with Santana do to the virus infection. Also, Robert Lewandowski started up front. The polish striker has been in the center of attention in recent weeks after rumor of a potential Bayern move in the summer.
Bayern started well into the game and Muller and Robben had the first chance in the 4th and 7th minute. In the 13th minute, it was Kroos who missed an empty goal by inches after a great Lahm cross. Dortmund had to thank keeper Weidenfeller that the game was still even especially after Martinez showed up in front of him in the 36th minute. Dortmund was nowhere to be seen. Robben played one of his best games this season and always put pressure on Dortmund. Finally, Arjen Robben scored the Bayern lead with a curling strike from 20 yards in the 43rd minute.
Borussia Dortmund came back stronger in the second half and came to their first chances through Gundogan and Reus. Bayern had multiple chances to extend the lead through Kroos (59th), van Buyten (71st) and Dante (80th), but were able to take the lead over the full 90 minutes.
It was a great game by Bayern Munich which proved once again that they are the top team in Germany. The draw for the semi-finals, where 15-time winners FCB will face Freiburg, Wolfsburg or Stuttgart, takes place on Sunday evening. Bayern will play Arsenal in the second leg of the last 16 at the Allianz Arena on March 13th.
Dortmund ill have to recover from the defeat. They face Hannover in the Bundesliga on Satruday, March 2nd and Shakhtar Donesk in the Champions League on March 5th.

China consumed 11 billion esports video streams in 2016
The country accounts for 57 percent of the global esports video audience, with North America coming second, according to IHS Markit research.

Esports is going to gross $1 billion in ad revenue worldwide by 2021 as the audience for the genre expands, according to the Esports and the Future of TV report released by IHS Markit.
In 2016, esports drew $280 million globally in ad revenue, a mere fraction of the global ad revenue of $532 billion. Growth in advertising revenue in this genre will be driven by video, influencer marketing and sponsorhship, the report noted.
The popularity of esports is exploding in Asia, with esports set to be a medal event at the 2022 Asian Games in Hangzhou, China. Chinese internet giant Alibaba, whose birthplace is also Hangzhou, invested $150 million in the International E-Sports Federation last year.
Ted Hall, research director of IHS Markit and the report's lead author, said investment in esports will pay off for big-name backers as interest in this genre expands within and beyond its target demographic.
"Some of these acquisitions are initiating shifts in esports business dynamics, with players such as China's Tencent seeking to control assets across the value chain, and publishers moving into league operation," said Hall.
China makes up more than half of the global esports audience, with 11.1 billion video streams delivered there in 2016. Overall, esports enthusiasts worldwide spent more than 6 billion hours watching games last year, an increase of 19 percent compared to the previous year.
Dan Cryan, senior director at IHS Markit, said the rise of esports demonstrates the value of aggregating audience globally rather than the country-specific approach that defines traditional TV business.
"This is not just online channels taking a traditional business model and moving it online, this is something new," he said. "Publishers, for example, deliver esports video because it helps their other commercial interests rather than having content monetization as their primary focus. This sort of competitive diversification is set to become more common and spread to other genres with time."
Another report, E-sports Content Ecosystem in China: 2016 Report, released by iResearch, said that 76.1 percent of esports viewers in China are male, 68 percent of them between 19 and 35 years old. Most notably, esports viewers have a higher average monthly income than regular internet users (RMB 6,380 versus RMB 4,648), while 70 percent of their daily consumption is on electronics. The iResearch survey carried out in November 2015 was based on 1,597 samples.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY, APRIL 25: Something gets settled in the next three weeks, and you can take this as a good omen for future business. In May, you'll communicate from the heart and start a chapter in love. June and July are for building what will be in your family for generations to come. In September, you'll be well paid for solving a problem. Cancer and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 2, 22, 38 and 4.
IN THE STARS: What mattered a great deal yesterday has less of an impact on today's proceedings, though little may have changed about the circumstances. It was difficult to see it yesterday, but the morning light of the new day makes us see the enormous difference that attitude can make.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Make things simple for all: Give to yourself. It would be helpful to your loved ones because they no longer would have to guess about what you need or what will make you happy.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your patience is legendary, and here you go again today, sticking with projects long after others would have given up. Someone is falling in love with your quiet strength and fortitude.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). In some ways, you feel like you've been punished in the past. So it's only right that you should now be rewarded for the adjustments you've made. You'll like how this reward unfolds.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). There's an interpersonal volley in both work and play, and you have a talent for serving up something that's easily returned. The better you interact with others the more successful you're likely to be.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You have a low tolerance for surprises and spontaneous changes that come from an unorganized system. You'd rather spend hours creating a better system than running with one you don't trust.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There will be eager pupils around you. You are willing to share and help, but you correctly sense that not all of your methods will work for others. Their development will happen in stages.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Don't be too quick to give up what you have to gain for what you don't. Look deeply into the trade you are offered. The values that matter most in this deal are not so obviously determined.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There's nothing static about relationships. You expect changes and structure your life accordingly. The smart way is to check in often but not obviously to assess how things are working.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You'll be rather selective about what you pay attention to, and that is only smart. Why learn what you can't apply? Once you see the practicality in a solution, you'll be eager to know more.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Not wanting to miss an opportunity to be generous, you may feel compelled to give more than is necessary or even appropriate — and it's not a move you'll ever regret.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You have a talent for putting the right people together, and you'll create scenarios that never could have happened without your expertise, instinct and involvement.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You're no party animal, but you've mastered the secret to maintaining a robust social life that many party animals mess up time and again: You go home when you're tired.

What makes for real freedom? For ultimate freedom? We've been reading through St. Paul's letter to the Galatians for several weeks now, and that truly is the question that he has been driving at all along. What makes for real, ultimate freedom?
St. Paul has some Jewish brothers and sisters in the churches in Galatia who have tried to answer that question with: the Law. The Law makes for real freedom. And, as we might have been able to gather from our readings the past several weeks, St. Paul answers a decided "No!" to their answer. The Law is not the ultimate answer to real freedom. The Letter to the Galatians represents Paul's most passionate writing. Jesus Christ is the only ultimate answer to the question of what makes for real freedom; and, as he says in our text this morning, anything less than that is to fall back into slavery. Living according to the law is slavery compared to living in Christ.
This is a very timely theme for us to consider this morning, as we enter this week of our national celebration of freedom. On Wednesday we celebrate the 225th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. We celebrate our very real freedom that we enjoy in this country. But is it the ultimately real freedom? Or one that still pales in comparison to the ultimate freedom in Jesus Christ? Is the freedom we celebrate on Wednesday still slavery compared to the freedom we know in Jesus Christ? I think that we must take seriously the freedom represented by the Jewish Law, the Torah, to appreciate this question. Compared to anything of St. Paul's day, it was by far the best in giving his people a sense of freedom, even in the face of political tyrannies and oppression. The Jewish Torah has remained such a source of freedom right until this day. It has survived two thousand more years of political tyranny, the latest being the unbelievable Nazi Holocaust of the Jewish people. Yet St. Paul tells his Jewish brothers and sisters that even their great Torah is slavery compared to freedom in Jesus Christ. I think we need to take this very seriously as we celebrate our national freedom this week, that even the freedom of the United States of America is still basically a freedom under the Law, and so — as good as that freedom might be compared to all other nations to go before us — I think that St. Paul would be no less adamant that our American freedom is slavery compared to what we are offered in Jesus Christ.
Our first clue might be what we also observe this week, beginning today: the 138th anniversary of the battle of Gettysburg. Abraham Lincoln would say, at the first anniversary of that battle, that that terrible war must be considered as a "new birth of freedom." Well, if the freedom this country represents regularly requires such terrible bloodshed as continual rebirths, then we should perhaps get a clue that something is wrong. Can this be ultimate freedom? Perhaps the fact that we even need a rebirth should be a clue to us. If this was the ultimate freedom, then it wouldn't need to be reborn. And the Civil War wouldn't be the last time we would need to resort to such violence in order to experience a new birth of our brand of freedom.
Christ himself would submit to this kind of bloodshed in order to expose it. In order to be clear about this, we must not see the cross as playing the same sort of game as we do, in any way, shape, or form. Jesus was not taking anyone else's blood to defend freedom. Jesus was not playing the game of taking someone else's blood. He was submitting to that game and letting his own blood be shed. In this morning's gospel, as Jesus sets his face resolutely to his mission in Jerusalem, his own disciples are into the age-old game. They want to rain down fire from heaven on their enemies, the Samaritans. Jesus will have none of it. He rebukes them. He has come to expose that game we play, not to play it. He will submit to that kind of bloodshed in order to ultimately free us from it.
St. Paul had been confronted on the road to Damascus with just this same deadly game of his. Notice carefully again what Jesus says to Paul at the point of his conversion: "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?" Jesus makes St. Paul see that he has been killing people in the name of the Law, in the name of the Torah. As long as we continue to do that, we will never ultimately be free. As long as there continues to be Gettyburgs in our history — and there certainly has been many more! — there will be the continued need to rebirth our kind of freedom. And it will remain a slavery to the blood that occasionally needs shedding in order to keep our freedom alive.
Christ came to finally free us of that. How? By suffering it in love, and by offering us the key to a new way: forgiveness. We are forgiven so that we might begin to live by the Spirit, rather than living by our old way of doing things, what St. Paul calls living by the flesh. God's forgiveness in Jesus Christ sets us free to live by the Spirit.
Now, there is one other key ingredient to living in this freedom that has its birth in the cross and resurrection of Christ: namely, the way his love can begin to tame our desires so that they lead to the fruits of the Spirit rather than the desires of the flesh. Our lives can begin to be sanctified so that they are ordered increasingly by love, God's brand of love, rather than ordered around envy, dissension, conflict, and the like.
If we had more time, I could 'flesh' this all out for us this morning, too — it relates to what we said last week about our human desire being mimetic. I could also show how the Law falls short with this aspect of helping us to achieve freedom. There are many Christians today, for example, who think that adding God's Law, the Ten Commandments, is still the way — that if we added God's Law to our American law, then real freedom would finally be achieved. But St. Paul shows how this is also a false hope, because Christ's law reduces even the Ten Commandments down to one law: love. Love your neighbor as yourself (Gal. 5:14). I could show all this if I had time. But we are already running a bit long, so I would instead like to finish with a story for you to take home, one that I hope will sum all this up better than I could otherwise.
It is a story that Lutheran writer and teacher Walter Wangerin, Jr. tells about his son Matthew when he was in elementary school. (1) Matthew had developed a problem with his desire for comic books such that he was stealing them. And Pastor Wangerin tried on three occasions to use the law in getting Matthew to stop stealing comic books. But, as Pastor Wangerin once put it: the Law can shame you, the Law can blame you, the Law can restrain you, but it cannot change you. It cannot give you real freedom.
The first time Pastor Wangerin discovered that his son Matthew was stealing comic books was during one of their nighttime prayer times. He glanced down to see Matthew's bottom dresser drawer ajar, and filled with comic books. He knew that he and his wife hadn't bought Matthew so many comic books, and so he needed to investigate. He leafed through them to find that they were all stamped with the Evansville Public Library stamp. In other words, his son Matthew had been checking these books out without bothering to check them back in. He was stealing them.
So Pastor Wangerin called the librarian to tell her what his son had done and to ask if she could help by laying down the law to his son. She was a very good librarian. So Matthew traipsed across the street under his burden of many comic books, and Carolyn Outlaw, the tall, stern librarian excellently explained the law to Matthew.
But Matthew did not stop stealing comic books. The second time they discovered this fact was after having spent a summer in St. Louis where Pastor Wangerin had been a guest lecturer at the seminary. Matthew had apparently spent his summer going to the corner drug store and stealing comic books; and he had even somehow managed to smuggle them all back to Evansville. So explaining the law to Matthew had to fall to Pastor Wangerin himself this time. It was no longer practical to return these books to their rightful owner several hundred miles away, but neither was it right for Matthew to keep them. So Pastor Wangerin started a fire in the fireplace and began to preach to Matthew on the Seventh Commandment, "Thou Shalt not Steal," while dramatically tossing those comic books into the fire one at a time (the flair for the dramatic being something he learned from his mother). Did the raging fire perhaps remind Matthew of … hell?
When they discovered Matthew stealing comic books a third time, Pastor Wangerin and his wife Thanne were beside themselves. How could they make their son to understand the law? How could they make him to follow the law? Pastor Wangerin decided it was time for drastic measures, something they rarely resorted to: spanking. He brought Matthew into the room and explained again to him the law against stealing, and its dire consequences, and then he spanked him. Matthew's body went stiff as a board, but he did not cry or show signs of remorse. Would he finally change? In his despair, Pastor Wangerin left the room, and he cried.
1. See, for example, the version of this story in chapter 17 of Wangerin's The Manger Is Empty (San Francisco: Harper & Row, 1989), "Matthew, Seven, Eight, and Nine." I have also had the privilege of hearing him tell this story in person on at least two occasions.

UPDATE: CSU student Berenbeim "enlightened our lives," friend says
Update: June 28, 2:30 p.m.
According to Zack Martin, a friend and fraternity brother of Berenbeim, Sam was "widely respected and loved by his peers and gave it his all in everything he did."
"He was literally so driven, and had such a rough past, I couldn't wrap my head around it," Martin wrote in an email to the Collegian. "A few years back he had lost his dad. I think there is something to say about someone who had been going for a degree in Chemical and Biological Engineering with minors in Biomedical Engineering and Chemistry. With all he had on his plate, it wasn't easy. And yet he still found time to enlighten all of our lives."
In a separate statement, Martin said: "Sam is an awesome kid and it's a tragedy he passed. He's an amazing kid who works his butt off in all subjects, he always took the time to tutor his fellow brothers and was the first to help someone out in need. He was extremely loyal and loved to snowboard and listen to music, specifically The Grateful Dead."
According to San Miguel County Coroner Emil Sante, the final report regarding Berenbeim's death will not be complete for approximately a month and a half.
Samuel Berenbeim, a CSU student in the College of Engineering, passed away Friday June 21 in Telluride, Colo., where he was attending the Telluride Bluegrass Festival.
According to San Miguel County Coroner Emil Sante, there is no official information on the cause of his death at this point. Berenbeim died between approximately 2 and 5 a.m. at the Mary E. Campground on County Road 63L in Telluride, Sante said.
A spokesperson for the University offered the following statement on Berenbeim's death:
"The CSU community extends condolences to Sam's family and friends during this difficult time. Our thoughts are with them."
According to San Miguel County Sheriff Bill Masters, friends who were with Berenbeim heard him making some noises early in the morning and checked on him, finding him passed out in front of his tent. A friend came back to check on Berenbeim and realized he was "blueish" Masters said. The friend contacted security and a paramedic staying at the campground attempted to give Berenbeim CPR, with no response. Berenbeim was unresponsive to further attempted treatment by paramedics and was pronounced dead on the scene.
"The looks of it appears to be some kind of diabetic emergency," Masters said.
Berenbeim was a a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon at CSU. The chapter posted a statement on their website:
"On Friday, June 21st we lost our beloved brother Samuel Jozef Berenbeim at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival in Telluride, CO. Sam was a CO Gamma Senior set to graduate in spring 2014 and was pursuing a degree in Chemical and Biological Engineering with minors in Biomedical Engineering and Chemistry. He was 22 years old. A public viewing will be held on Tuesday 6/25/2013 from 10:00am – 12:00pm at Feldman Mortuary (1673 York St Denver, CO 80206). His Memorial Service will be held on Wednesday the 26th at Temple Emanuel at 1:30pm (51 Grape St, Denver, CO 80220). Following the Service, a 3:00pm Ceremony will be held at Fairmount Cemetery. (430 S Quebec St, Denver, CO 80247). Everyone is welcome to attend this celebration of Sam's life, and we all need support for his family and each other though this difficult time."

DH hopes new data will help tackle "unacceptable" health gaps
The health gap between the most affluent and most deprived wards within each local authority "remains unacceptable", the Department of Health has said, following the publication today (24 June 2008) of health profiles for every local authority and region across England.
The profiles, published by DH and the Association of Public Health Observatories, use key health indicators to capture a picture of the nation's health down to a local level, providing areas across England with information to improve their population's health.
The profiles suggest that while people in England can expect to live longer and healthier lives, significant inequalities remain.
The death rate from smoking in the local authority with the lowest rate (139 per 100,000 in East Dorset) is less than half that in the local authority with the highest death rate from smoking (355 per 100,000 in Knowsley).
And in general, smoking is still causing a higher rate of death in the north of England compared to the south.
Men in the local authority with the highest life expectancy (Kensington and Chelsea, 83.1 years) can expect to live 10 years longer than those in the local authority with the lowest life expectancy (Manchester, 73 years).
Women in the local authority with the highest life expectancy (Kensington and Chelsea, 87.2 years) can expect to live nine years longer than those in the local authority with the lowest life expectancy (Liverpool, 78.3 years).
The government recently announced its renewed commitment to tackling the stark inequalities in England with the launch of its Health Inequalities: Progress and Next Steps report, which sets out measures for the NHS and local authorities to implement.
Public Health Minister Dawn Primarolo said: "The NHS and local authorities can use these profiles to target local health hotspots with effective measures to make a real difference.
"I am confident that we can confront the issues facing communities head on and make health inequalities everyone's business."
The Association of Public Health Observatories, with the DH, have also published a companion "Health inequalities Intervention tool", which enables every English local authority to model the effect of four high-impact interventions on their life expectancy gap.
The four interventions are: smoking cessation; treating undiagnosed high blood pressure; statin prescribing to reduce blood cholesterol; and reducing infant mortality.


One hundred years after fighting in World War I ended on November 11, 1918, THNOC reflects on some of the ways that the war and its aftermath touched the city of New Orleans. From the elimination of the city's red-light district to unprecedented displays of patriotism, WWI brought significant changes to local ways of life.
World War I started in 1914, but the United States would not enter combat until 1917. While Americans weren't involved in the fighting at first, their sympathies were deeply engaged. This was especially true in New Orleans, a port city home to recent immigrants as well as longer-settled families of European heritage. Many felt kinship with the French and Belgians and supported their efforts against the German invasion. A benefit for Belgian relief was held at Antoine's Restaurant in 1914, and throughout the war, local women, like Clarisse Claiborne, exchanged letters with Belgian soldiers on the front.

While French was still spoken in many corners of Louisiana, New Orleans also had a large German-speaking community that dated back to the 18th century. German-American organizations across the country raised money for the German Red Cross and led efforts to generate sympathy for their ancestral land. In April 1915, groups in New Orleans put on the German Bazaar, a major public event that drew 5,000 people—including non-Germans as well as Germans. Considered a major success, the event raised $7,000 (about $175,000 today) for the German and Austrian Red Cross and featured various amusements, such as a beer garden, as well as German war films that had never been shown in the United States.
When the US entered the war in April of 1917, the military had to quickly mobilize a large force to engage in the massive conflict. This took troops and money, and New Orleans contributed both. Liberty Bond parades resembled the largest Mardi Gras celebrations, and the city exceeded its bond quota on every drive. By the end of the war, united in allegiance to the American cause, New Orleanians of all ancestries celebrated victory together.
Cracked sidewalk tiles denoting Berlin Street are all that remain at the modern-day intersection of General Pershing and Laurel Streets.
Just two years after the city—including the mayor and many local businesses—supported the massive German Bazaar, public sentiment lurched toward the allied cause. Patriotic propaganda with anti-German strains became prevalent as the United States entered the war, with images depicting Germans as sub-human featured on advertising posters for bond drives and recruitment (such as in the poster shown on the right). In New Orleans, Berlin Street in the Faubourg Bouligny neighborhood was renamed General Pershing Street, after the American military commander, and a local chapter of a national surveillance group, the American Protective League, sought (but failed) to root out German sympathizers in New Orleans. The thriving German Society (Deutsche Gesellschaft) was left with only a handful of members by the war's end. Though the community was subject to discrimination, many German-Americans were able to downplay their heritage and blend in with the rest of the white population.
Large-scale mobilization quickly disrupted New Orleans's physical spaces. As soon as war was declared, Mayor Martin Behrman offered the city's full support, including a section of City Park as a mobilization center for Louisiana troops. In addition to Camp Nicholls at the park, another base, Camp Martin (pictured), was established at the New Orleans Fair Grounds and later moved to Tulane University.
One soldier, Cornelius Puneky of Magazine Street, returned home from France and said: "Wherever I went I received a special welcome when people learned I was from Louisiana. They all seemed to know the early history of the state and how closely it has always been linked with France." Puneky's account was reprinted in newspapers across the state. All told, Louisiana contributed 74,103 individuals, primarily through the draft, to military service. WWI was the first war in which women served in the military, and 131 Louisiana women enlisted as navy yeomen.
While the Allied Expeditionary Force that headed to Europe was largely made up of men, women in New Orleans took part in the humanitarian relief effort even before the war began. Though some local women did serve in the US Navy, roughly 20,000 more volunteered with the New Orleans chapter of the American Red Cross, and over the course of the war, they produced 1.6 million surgical dressings, 100,000 hospital garments, 80,000 knitted articles, 230,000 influenza masks, and other necessary aid pieces.
During the war, the US military was segregated, and most African American soldiers deployed overseas were relegated to rear-echelon labor or support roles. Nevertheless, two combat divisions of black men fought with distinction under the command of the French Army. Despite discrimination at home, black soldiers were patriotic and saw their role in the war as a means to show their love of country and willingness to defend it. The lyrics to one popular song published in New Orleans—by African American composer William J. Nickerson—typify the patriotic spirit of the era: "There'll be no stop 'till we're over the top, / We're the colored Soldier Boys of Uncle Sam" (right). When black soldiers returned home, however, they encountered brutal racism. The year 1919 saw twice as many lynchings as 1917 and, according to the National World War I Museum and Memorial, 11 victims were soldiers in uniform.
American entry into the war spelled the end of Storyville, New Orleans's legal red-light district. Officially, the District, as it was called, closed after the Secretary of the Navy declared that no navy base could exist within five miles of a red-light district. This order effectively closed tenderloins across the US. In New Orleans, Storyville was already on the decline, as popular spots for nightlife were emerging elsewhere and a new generation sought to curb vice. Given the choice between hosting a navy base and continuing the sanctioning of prostitution, local officials opted to close Storyville.
Allied victory made way for the demobilization of German forces after the war. One surrendered German submarine, UB-88, toured ports in the United States before it was sunk off the coast of California for target practice. The surrendered ship drew large crowds wherever it went, including New Orleans, where it docked at the foot of Jackson Avenue for the first week of June 1919 and was open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. for people to inspect.
In the Upper 9th Ward, you can still visit America's first known permanent tribute to US servicemen in World War I. The Victory Arch contains a list—segregated by race—of soldiers from the neighborhood who served in the war. At the time, the Upper 9th Ward was a racially diverse working-class community, and the monument reflected the citizens' desire to show that they had served patriotically. The segregated list of names (shown in a modern-day image, right) indicates that while black soldiers would be remembered for fighting, the long fight for equality was far from over. After the war, W. E. B. Du Bois—a co-founder of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP)—said: "We return. We return from fighting. We return fighting. Make way for Democracy! We saved it in France, and by the Great Jehovah, we will save it in the United States of America, or know the reason why."

In this playable demo of Dark Forces, the Empire has just developed the ultimate weapon: the Death Star, an armored space station with enough power to destroy a planet. It's vital that Rebel forces obtain the secret plans to this station--and you are the Rebel spy the Alliance has sent in to do the job.
"good! ive got the second one and its good to"
"it is hard to install"
"Perfect for SW fans or fans of FPS classics!"
"Nice game for old school"
Great gameplay, nice gfx for it's time, great plot, hey it's just fantastic! I could play it all day. You don't even have to be a SW fan in order to enjoy this game!
"Very nice FPS from the pre-Quake era."
Dark Forces is certainly a classic that you should always keep around somewhere on your hard drive. If you've ever watched Star Wars and really wanted to participate in the early battle where Leia's ship is boarded by Storm Troopers, this game is for you!
LucasArts lists a 486/66 as a requirement, though I remember running this game back in the day with an AMD 386 at 40Mhz with no FPU. You'll definitely want your DOS box (this game won't run in Windowed mode under 9x or NT) to have a sound card so you can enjoy the awesome samples of the movie's laser pistols. Moreover, George Lucas knows a thing or two about sound.Otherwise, with a decent CPU and an SB16 or older, you'll want a 512MB ISA VGA card for high frame rates with the screen streched out to the maximum. This is an older came, so it won't crawl if you don't have the latest nVidia board.
The 3D engine was nice for it's time. Though I don't doubt the production at Lucas Arts were capable of creating a 3D engine from scratch, it has many qualities that make me think it was a license of Duke3D or maybe even ROTT. The walls could be angled and stacked but they were limited to rectangles. The enemies are very nicely done bitmapped sprites which are superbly realistic. It is my opinion that enemies weren't done this nice with texture-mapped polygons until Unreal Tournament was released.
But, this game isn't completely free of polygon modeling, after all it was LucasArts which brought you X-Wing (think StarFox done right and set in the StarWars galaxy), When you complete the demo level, during play you will see a 3D model of a starship land to pick you up and drop you at your next mission. Cool!
The gameplay is nice too. The game could of used cross-hairs, but the auto-aim feature makes up for this. The automap is pretty basic. It's not very challenging or puzzling and it doesn't overwhelm you with enemies like other shooters (DooM) did, but it is still alot of fun to play.
So in conclusion, this is a great game. Though it's technology is yesterday's news thanks to id software always pushing the envelope, the game had features that made it top of the line for it's time. It has held up to the test time, meaning it's still fun to this very day (if you can make it work). Stunning visuals may sell games, but it doesn't mark them as fun or not.It also doesn't take terrible expensive hardware to run this game anymore, a $10 or $20 bargain at the swap meet will suffice. The superb realism of the monsters isn't even matched by today's incarnation of the game (Jedi Knight 2), though the quality can be seen in some top notch polygon based shooters (UT).
You still reading this? Go download it already, it's a classic!
"Very good game- if youre a jedi"
"Even though it's old, Dark Forces is still one of the best games out there."
If you have one of the most up to date computer Dark Forces might not work on your computer. The game is great. The graphics are old compared to graphics of today, but the storyline is good enough to make the game worth buying. Dark Forces is excellent.

LAS VEGAS — San Diego State football's Donnel Pumphrey became the NCAA FBS all-time rushing leader Saturday in the Aztecs' 34-10 win over Houston in the Las Vegas Bowl.
The senior finished the day with 115 yards on the ground, giving him an incredible 6,405 for his career.
Early in the fourth quarter, Pumphrey, playing in his hometown, took a handoff 15 yards, giving him 6,401 for his career and movinghis past former Heisman trophy winner Ron Dayne, who totaled 6,397.
Pumphrey also scored a touchdown in the second quarter, which gave the Aztecs the lead for good.

Q: How do the bow-related Archery skill perks affect crossbows? I noticed* that some of the Archery skill perks are bow-specific or bow-related, based on their descriptions. I would like to know how they affect crossbows.

*

*Does the 'Quick Shot ' archery perk (can draw a bow 30% faster) affect crossbows? Does it make the crossbow reload speed faster?

*What about 'Hunter's Discipline' and 'Power Shot'? They are described as "recover twice as many arrows from dead bodies" and "arrows stagger all but the largest opponents 50% of the time", respectively - do these perks affect crossbow bolts too?

*These perks don't seem to affect crossbows (based on their description), but do they have any gameplay effect on the crossbows: Ranger (able to move faster with a drawn bow) and Steady Hand (zooming in with a bow slows time by 25%/50%)?

* I know. I'm late to the party and just started Dawnguard.

A: Everything that affects bows affect crossbows as well (damage multiplier etc), even Deadly Aim. Those perks that aren't immediately obvious work like this:

*

*Hunter's Discipline - more bolts (from mobs who drop bolts in the first place)

*Ranger - move faster while aiming and reloading

*Quick Draw - faster reload

Update:
The mechanic of the weapons can be confusing.

*

*Bow: Ready-draw-aim-shoot-ready.

*Crossbow: Ready-aim-shoot-reload-ready.

Quick draw yields faster draw for bow and faster reload for crossbow. Ranger lets you move faster while aiming with your bow or crossbow. The thing with a crossbow is that you aim an already loaded weapon and with the bow the draw action is part of the aiming. In the end, it's no real difference.

Feed is an important part of the workings of farms worldwide. The better it matches the animal's nutritional requirements; the less losses occur.
In order to achieve optimum feed value, additives are vital as they provide a positive impact on the overall feed quality, which leads to improved animal performance.
However, for optimal results, it is always in the details. This includes carefully selecting the right additives, introducing them in the right doses, at the right time, and storing feed in the right conditions. This is where our latest additive, ProSidTM Pellet Pro comes in.
Pellets that are too dry fall apart and pellets that contain too much moisture tend to take an odd shape, both of which means a loss of production capacity for feed mills. ProSidTM Pellet Pro is a unique product, designed for the perfect homogenous dispersion of feed components which provides excellent moisture balance combined with a powerful mould inhibitor to prevent mould growth.
Moisture loss can be a significant contributing factor to poor pellet quality during the production process of compound feed, which has an impact both financially and on the volume of saleable feed. ProSidTM Pellet Pro increases the water-binding capacity of feed material, enabling feed mills to optimise the moisture content of the finished product with zero impact on the shelf life of the product.
For example, during the production process moisture loss can increase to more than 3%, which leads to a poor pellet quality. This has a huge impact financially, whereas, by using Pellet Pro, a feed mill that produces 100,00mt p/y for example, will generate 3,000mt extra of feed to sell where losses caused by evaporation are supplemented by Pellet Pro.
Using ProSid Pellet Pro also significantly contributes to overall feed hygiene by inhibiting the growth of moulds and bacteria. This has a number of benefits including reducing the risk of grain deterioration and preventing the production of mycotoxins.
Mould growth over time under optimised test conditions. The graph shows mould growth measured by CO2 production over time. Addition of ProSidTM Pellet Pro greatly prolongs the time before mould formation starts compared to untreated and ammonia buffered organic acid based mould inhibitor.
For more information, or to request our latest prices, please use the contact forms at the top of this page and our Agricultural Specialist will respond to you shortly.
Disclaimer: In order for the additive to work, you must always follow the recommended dosage rates and ensure the dosing equipment is calibrated correctly prior to use. The use of additives cannot be expected to overcome adverse weather conditions, poor feeding-out procedures, incorrect dosing rates, poor compaction, poor or inadequate sealing and soil or slurry contamination and is therefore not warranted against these poor practices and conditions. If unsure of applications rates or methods, please seek advice.


ROME — Mirroring this year's David of Donatello nominations, two of Italy's youngest and brightest directors face off with the most noms for the Nastri D'Argento film critics awards to be presented June 14, the closing night of the Taormina BNL Film Fest in Sicily.
Ferzan Ozpetek "Facing Windows" and Gabriele Muccino's "Remember Me" swept up nine noms each including director, producer, screenplay and actress (Laura Morante for "Remember Me" and Giovanna Mezzogiorno for "Facing Windows") as well as original song.
"Windows" other noms include story, supporting actor (Filippo Nigro), score and art direction. "Remember Me" took noms in actor (Fabrizio Bentivoglio), actress (Monica Bellucci), sound and editing.
"Windows," a love triangle story, is produced by Tilde Corsi and Gianni Romoli for R & C Produzioni.
The film took home four statues out of 11 noms as well as the David Scuola award at this year's David di Donatello ceremony, Italy's highest film honors. Muccino's "Remember Me," about a family trying to survive amid decaying social values, took ten noms but left without honors.
Among other multiple Nastro nominees are helmer Gabriele Salvatores' "Io non ho Paurea" (I'm not Scared) taking seven noms, including director, producer, screenplay, supporting actor (Diego Abatantuono), score, cinematography and sound.

In the last few months, several people have died in Motorcycle crashes in the St. Louis metro. On Saturday, bikers came together to pay tribute to one of those men. More than 300 bikers celebrated the life of a father, husband, and former police officer.
"He was definitely a good guy and touched a lot of lives," Nick Moore said. "I just can't believe how many people are here. There are a lot of people."
The massive group of people held a charity ride in Warrenton to honor JD Sinclair. Sinclair was killed after a Motorcycle Accident in March, just hours after a gig with his band.
"We were on the stage together. Musicians around here are a big family. We all grew up together," guitarist Phil Orf said.
Codex Silentium (Code of Silence). DON"T EVER TALK TO A COP
Police said Sinclair and his wife were riding through the intersection of Strack Church Road and Veterans Memorial Parkway in Wright City when a car hit their motorcycle. Tanya Sinclair, a paramedic, was on the back of the bike. His wife survived the crash, but now faces months of painful recovery.
"You just have to be aware of inherent dangers," business owner Matt SurDyke said.

Surdyke, who sells motorcycles and who has been riding them since the age of seven, said he's working hard to make sure he never loses a fellow biker again.
"Wearing the right protective gear and taking a safety class is the right idea," he told 5 On Your Side.
Twice times a month his business offers a safety course to help riders. He said at all times motorcyclists and other drivers must be aware of the road.
An LAPD cop is expected to be sentenced to 5 years in prison for raping the 13-year-old daughter of his good friend and fellow police officer.
"If you ride in that defensive mode you'll be a lot safer," he said.
Sinclair's loved ones are taking that message seriously. On Saturday, they rode past the last five bars where Sinclair's band used to play. It was a special send-off for a dear friend.
"I think that a lot of peoples' lives have gotten a little darker with JD gone," guitarist Scott Wilson said. "I know ours has."
A GoFundMe account set up for Tanya and the couple's four sons has raised more than $12,000.

The Environmental Working Group reports that after reviewing almost 20 million records of water utility companies in the U.S., 316 pollutants were found in the tap water you drink.
This can be eliminated with one of Berkey's portable water purifiers.
What is especially disgusting is that almost half of the chemicals detected in the water are not subject to health or safety regulations and can legally be present in any amount.
The contaminants with federal regulations were above the recommended levels: 49 to be exact. We're talking about 53.6 million Americans' tap water.
Many contaminants found in your treated drinking water are disinfection byproducts, nitrate and arsenic.
Yes, the fluoride being dumped in the water you are ingesting produces toxic byproducts.
Pensacola, FL has MTBE, a fuel additive, in its water. Omaha, NE has 5.6 parts per billion in their water supply. Mesa, AZ has 33.3 parts per billion of trihalomethanes in their water. The list goes on and on from there.
Water utility companies spend 19 times more on water treatment chemicals like deadly fluoride than the federal government invests in protecting lakes and rivers from pollution.
The Environmental Working Group believes the federal government has a responsibility to fix things. We think they're wasting their breath.
We don't have to live life always depending on others. With a Berkey portable water purifier you can be prepared for any emergency. Be prudent in providing for your family the best you can.
Through this report, it is proven that your tax dollars aren't providing the cleanest water possible. It is your responsibility now to change the condition of your water.
Berkey portable water purifiers are durable and powerful and guarantee the clean water you need. Here is what makes Berkey filters top-of-the-line products.
They are portable, convenient and counter-top sturdy.
Berkey purifiers are powerful and remove at least 99.9% of health-threatening contaminants, including harmful pathogens, pesticides, detergents, aluminum, mercury, radon 222, fluoride and more.
The filters last longer than most, with a lifespan of at least five months.
Berkey products are proven, tested and guaranteed.
They are capable of filtering both chemically treated municipal water and untreated raw water.
Berkey products are somewhat elegant looking and durable.
Don't worry over the facts of this report and instead take control and research the benefits of owning a Berkey portable water purifier.
