Biden calls Republican voting laws 'assault' on America, demands Congress pass Democrat proposals to federalize US elections

Praising his election in 2020 as the pinnacle of US democracy, President Joe Biden called Republicans domestic enemies of the country and said their state voting laws are the greatest threat to the US since the Civil War.
Making an appearance in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on Tuesday, Biden condemned the election integrity laws enacted by a number of Republican-majority states this year as "vicious" and "odious" attempts at voter suppression and intimidation, taking "literally pernicious" forms.
"There's an unfolding assault taking place in America today, an attempt to suppress and subvert the right to vote in fair and free elections. An assault on democracy, an assault on liberty. An assault on who we are," he said.

He argued the Republicans were seeking to make it harder for Americans to vote and that they "subvert" the electoral process by changing who counts the votes and how in response to the "Big Lie" that his victory in the 2020 presidential election over the incumbent Donald Trump wasn't on the level.
In his telling, the 2020 election was remarkable because officials around the country made it much easier to vote, so that over 150 million Americans – the highest number ever – voted amid a pandemic, yet also featured "unrelenting" political attacks, physical threats and intimidation by Republicans. Biden claimed that all the results had been confirmed by multiple recounts and all challenges heard and rejected by more than 80 judges.
"No other election was ever held under such scrutiny, under such high standards. The Big Lie is just that – a big lie," he declared.
Never mentioning Trump by name, Biden argued that challenging the results of a presidential election was un-American – even though that's what the Democrats did in 2016, when Trump won over Hillary Clinton, by pushing the Russiagate conspiracy theory.
"If you lose, you accept the results and follow the constitution. You don't call facts fake and try to bring down the American experiment just because you're unhappy. That's not statesmanship, that's selfishness," he said.

According to Biden, Republican "suppression" laws and the US Supreme Court decisions that "weakened" the Voting Rights Act in 2013 and again this month are all part of the same continuum as slavery, the KKK "campaign of terror" after the Civil War, and the January 6 "deadly insurrection" at the US Capitol, "the citadel of our democracy."
Biden reminded the audience that he swore an oath to defend the US from enemies "foreign and domestic," implying that domestic enemies are the Republicans who dare doubt his legitimacy and advocate "voter suppression."
However, he also undermined his own case that the purported voting restrictions were racist by saying the new laws were "not only targeting people of color, they're targeting voters of all races and backgrounds" who might vote Democrat.

Telling an audience of cheering Democrats that "the world is watching," Biden said he put Vice President Kamala Harris in charge of the push to pass two major pieces of federal legislation.
The John Lewis Voting Rights Act – named after a late Democrat lawmaker and former civil rights activist – seeks to reimpose VRA restrictions struck down by the Supreme Court.Meanwhile, the For The People Act – proposed by Democrats in 2018 – would effectively federalize elections and make most of the 2020 practices, adopted under the guise of the Covid-19 pandemic, permanent.
Several reporters noted that Biden made no references to removing the Senate filibuster – without which the proposals have no chance of becoming law. Democrats have a slim majority in the House of Representatives, but the Senate is split 50-50, with Harris as the tie-breaker. Harris told NPR on Tuesday she was "having conversations about exceptions to the legislative filibuster with senators," when it came to the two bills.
Unmentioned in Biden's Philadelphia? The unyielding political arithmetic that makes his voting overhauls all but impossible in the Senate without A) nuking filibuster or B) 10 different but also simultaneous changes of heart in GOP senators. https://t.co/pBa4iq2eU8

Instead, Biden had raised his voice and said he would call on "Republican friends" on all levels of government "to stand up for God's sake and help prevent this concerted effort to undermine our election and the sacred right to vote," adding, "Have you no shame?!"
Biden closed his remarks by reminding the Democrats that the midterm elections in 2022 will be "another test… a new wave of unprecedented voter suppression and raw and sustained election subversion" for which they need to prepare now.
"We have the means, we just need the will, the will to save and strengthen our democracy. We did it in 2020," he said.
There WAS a color revolution in the US after all – and its architects now BOAST of how they 'fortified' the 2020 election
"Joe Biden and Democrats have an election power grab playbook: lies and theatrics," the GOP said in response to Biden's speech, accusing the president of continuing the "dishonest attacks" on Republican state laws, which spokeswoman Danielle Alvarez described as "commonsense election integrity efforts" that would "make it easier to vote and harder to cheat."

You hear a lot of people say that 2-strokes are simple engines to work on. Based on that theory, we decided to have a crack at putting the pieces of the RGV engine together ourselves. In our previous RGV post, you may remember the story of how we were left with a rag full of nuts and bolts, a completely dismantled cassette gearbox and of course the mysterious bent con-rod. This was ground zero for us, but it also presented the perfect opportunity to start new and actually learn something in the process.
In the theme of keeping it 'Original' we stuck to the rule of genuine Suzuki, albeit with the exception of the Bearings. Al is the chief mechanic in this partnership. He was one angry Scottsman when he saw our engine in pieces laying dead in the cardboard box. But there's no denying, Al prefers things broken…just so that he can fix them. That's just what he does – he is a fixeruppara.
The first problem we encountered was trying to get the centre shaft bearing out of the case. Al tried a few tricks, like heating up the case to expand the surroundings of the bearing and knocking it out with a rubber mallet.
We even swore at it and still it didn't want to come out.
Unfortunately, the center shaft bearing is in a tight spot as the outer side of the bearing is concealed by the crank case itself. This bearing needed to be pulled out rather than knocked out. What we needed was a bearing puller of sorts. I explained the situation to my trusty machinist father in-law and within a few days he had called saying that the job was done.
In fact Orlando from JOM Engineering actually manufactured a slide hammer bearing puller tool. In just a few slide action knocks, the stubborn bugger of a bearing came right out. Both bearings were nothing short of F$*$ked! Which was a relief actually. We had to pin the cause of our sick sounding engine on something and the shaft bearings were prime suspects.
Heating the casing for easy bearing fitment.
In the picture above, you can see an assortment of screws, cir clips, bolts and dowels. Our test of mechanical excellence would mean that every single fitting should return to its original home. So far, we were on a roll… with the assistance of CMSNL website and the RGV workshop manual, everything seem to just simply fall into place. Passing the test, would mean no left overs. Hmmmm….the rebuild continues.

John Milton, Paradise lost, 4th edition (London, 1688).
An engraving of Satan tormenting the damned in Hell from the fourth edition of Milton's epic. This was the first illustrated edition of the text, produced twenty years after the first edition and fourteen years after Milton's death. It was also the first edition with which Jacob Tonson was associated. Paradise lost had not been particularly successful when Tonson bought half the copyright in 1683 (he obtained the other half in 1690). Tonson's success as a publisher enabled him to popularise Milton's work by reproducing it in a variety of formats for different audiences, with such additions as critical notes, indexes and illustrations like the one on display, which was engraved by the Flemish émigré Michael Burgher. His marketing flair propelled the text to the position of national epic, and confirmed the status of Milton amongst the reading public.

Posts»Blade #1
Blade #1
Comic Books, Previews
One new series I'm looking forward to after Secret Wars concludes is Blade #1 featuring Fallon Gray, the daughter of the original daywalker, Eric Brooks. I'll always be impartial to Blade not only because he's been a great character but also because of the success of the original movies, almost single-handedly reviving the superhero genre and making the current golden age possible. And I'm also one who believes that a Blade series on Netflix would be an excellent idea. But I'm getting ahead of myself because the good news for now is this new series launching in October. It focuses on Fallon, who is a 16-year-old leaving a normal life in rural Oregon. She's one of the most popular students in the school and excels on all levels. However, things haven't felt the same lately as she can feel some changes occurring in her that she can't explain. And when she's targeted by supernatural forces who invade her town, her life changes forever as she comes to learn about her true identity and meet her father face to face. The cult targeting her has been experimenting on all sorts of demons, werewolves and vampires in order to create even more powerful creatures and it will take the 2 of them to stop this threat.
Fallon Gray isn't just a clone of Ms. Marvel (an excellent series) nor is she in the mold of Peter Parker. And this series will focus on the relationship between Eric and Fallon, his daughter, and the situations they'll face in this environment. The writer being tapped for this, Tim Seeley, says in an interview on Marvel.com, "I love that we're taking Blade completely out of his former genre and world. He's not in an urban landscape, taking on tribes of vampires. He's in a small town, facing way weirder stuff than vampires, and he's going to have to attend prom. Blade's complete focus to one mission and total inflexibility make for some good drama when you drop him into new situations. Also, occasional hilariousness." This gives the series so much potential in terms of the different tones of storylines and characters but I'm hoping Blade doesn't lose his edge completely. But I don't think that will be the case. Tim Seeley and artist Logan Faerber will bring this series to life in October 2015.

A forest is usually an area filled with trees but any tall densely packed area of vegetation may be considered a forest, even underwater vegetation such as kelp forests, or non-vegetation. Though literally it will produce electricity for our betterment,but it has a great effect on environment. Finally, this paper concludes that what ecotourism attempts to offer through imaginaries and the primary objectives of this industry are self-contradictory and can only be attained through the power of imagination. Be warned though, this is also the resting place of crocodiles!! It may be noted here that since 1947 the Sundarban mangroves are divided between India and Bangladesh formerly East Pakistan , as Sundarban in Bangladesh and as Sundarban National Park in India, and the two parts differ considerably in the nature and extent of investigations, conservation and management. From east to west the river systems also comprise four estuaries viz. So it is in Bangladesh and we are proud of us. Managing our forests is not only important to the wildlife, but to our future economy and way of life.

With regard to the Sundarban, experts have sounded caution that destruction of the forest will not only affect the ecology but cause far reaching impacts on national economy and causing immense damage to the marine resources of the Bay of Bengal, still economically unexplored and unexploited by Bangladesh. It then stretched for about 165 miles 266 km from the mouth of the Hugli to the mouth of the Meghna river and was bordered inland by the three settled districts of the 24 Parganas, Khulna and Bakerganj.

Although many cynics protest that to dwell on the past rather than looking to the future is a waste of time and effort, any historian can tell just the opposite - that history gives humanity identity, wisdom, tradition, technology, and culture. The moderate saltwater forest covers most of the southern parts of Khulna and Bagerhat districts where Sundari is the dominant species. Modern day historians spend a lot of time searching for the truth from various sources of past information. Of the 50 true mangrove plant species recorded, the Sundarbans alone contain 35.

A watch tower stands there only to observe the spotted deer walking and running on the vast grazing field ahead of it.
Due to natural processes the role of the Sundarban to discharge the water of the Ganges and Brahmaputra catchments is decreasing as main waterways are shifting eastwards.

Bhí na scoláirí ildánacha ó Choláiste Lú ar an stáitse arís le déanaí ar an 22 Márta ag cur a n-Oíche Cheoil ar siúl. Smaoinigh an Chomhairle na dTuistí ar an ócáid ar dtús mar ócáid tiomsaithe airgid agus an chéad shárthaispeántas cheoil taobh amuigh den scoil. Chaith scoláirí ón gcéad go dtí an cúigiú bliain cúpla seachtain ag cleachtadh don ócáid ag ullmhú gach rud ó cheol traidisiúnta go dtí the Cranberries. Bhí an Oíche Cheoil ar siúl sa suíomh draíochtach an Oriel Centre/Sean-Ghaol le hIníon Nic Eochaidh ag feidhmniú mar MC don oíche.
Chuir an rang ceol ón gcúigiú bliain (nó mar is fearr aithne mar Seachtrán) tús leis an oíche lena gclúdach de Zombie in ómós do Dolores Ó Ríordán, i ndiaidh sin bhí an t-amhrán Runaway ó bhanna áitiúil the Corrs againn chomh maith lena n-amhrán féin-chumtha teacht in aois Cois Trá. Ansin chuir Clár Nic Colla agus Fírinne Nic an tSaoir an lucht féachana faoi gheasa lena leaganacha aonréadacha de Summertime Sadness le Lana Del Ray agus Put Your Head on My Shoudler le Paul Anka. Tháinig Fírinne díreach ar ais chuig an stáitse le Lauryn Ní Riain an uair seo agus chas siad an t-amhrán Falling Slowly a bhuaigh gradam Oscar do Ghlen Hansard agus Markéta Irglová. Agus díreach roimh dheireadh an chéad leath, thóg muid sos ón gceol beo le féachaint ar píosa damhsa Gaelach chuig The Storyteller ó Chlár Nic an Bhaird.
Thosaigh Rang na hIdirbhliana an dara leath ag léiriú a scileanna nua ar an ucáiléile ag seinm le haonréadaithe Aderonke Saliu agus Jaymee De Siúin lena gclúdach de I'm Yours le Jason Mraz. Ansin d'athraigh an t-atmaisféar go hiomlán le sain-cheacht ar an bpianó le gach rud ó Bach go Les Miserables ó scoláire idirbhliana Justin Ó hÁgáin atá ag caitheamh na bliana ag staidéar i gCeol-Acadamh Ríoga na hÉireann. Sheinn Justin cúpla píosa a chur sé i láthair ag an bhFeis Ceoil i mBaile Átha Cliath an lá céanna inár tháinig sé sa dara háit ina chatagóir. Ba iad dara grúpa deireanach den oíche ná grúpa traidisiúnta na scoile a bhfuair gach duine sa halla ag bualadh a gcosa ón úrlár leis an leagan traidisiúnta de Hey Jude ó na Beatles agus seit de poirt luascadh le Rocky Road to Dublin san áireamh. Agus chun deireadh spleodrach a chur le hoíche den chéad scoth, chas cór na scoile le tionlacan ó Liz Mc Connon ar an pianó. Chas siad a n-aistriúchán nua de Teenage Dirtbag ó Wheatus, a leagan de Titanium le David Guetta agus Sia a bhuaigh Scléip cúpla bliain ó shin agus fuair siad an lucht féachana go léir ag canadh lena n-encore de Stand By Me le Ben E King.
D'oibrigh tuismitheoirí, múinteoirí agus scoláirí go léir an-chrua chun an oíche seo a chur ar siúl agus bhain gach uile duine an-sult as an oíche seo a bhí cláraithe mar imeacht oifigiúil de Bhliain na Gaeilge 2018. Ba mhaith leis an scoil a buíochas a ghabháil le Helena Mullion/Helena Ní Mhaoláin agus an Mid-Morning Show ar LMFM a thug cuireadh do roinnt scoláirí le teacht chuig an stuideó ar an lá chun labhairt faoin imeacht agus seinm go beo sa stuideó.
The talented students of Coláiste Lú took to the stage once again on the 22nd March presenting their Oíche Cheoil. The brain child of the Comhairle na dTuistí (Parent's Council) this event was both a school fundraiser and the school's very first after-hours musical showcase. Students from first to fifth year spent many weeks rehearsing for the event with Iníon Ní Channan which featured everything from trad to the Cranberries. The Oíche Cheoil took place in the magically intimate setting of the Oriel Centre (Sean-Ghaol) with Iníon Nic Eochaidh expertly acting as MC for the night.
The mutli-talented 5thyear music class (also known as Seachtrán) kicked off the night with their cover of Zombie in honour of the late Dolores O Ríordán, this was followed by a local favourite Runaway by the Corrs and finally their self-composed coming of age tale Cois Trá. Next the crowd were treated to some beautiful solo and duet performances. Clár Nic Colla's spellbinding version of Summertime Sadness by Lana Del Ray and Fírinne Nic an tSaoir's quirky take on Paul Anka's Put Your Head on My Shoulder commanded the attention of the room. Another quick swap of instruments and Fírinne this time accompanied by Lauryn Ní Riain performed the Oscar winning song Falling Slowly by Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová. And just before the interval we took a break from live music and looked on as Clár Nic an Bhaird demonstrated her fantastic Irish dancing skills to the Set Dance The Storyteller.
The second half began with the Transition Year class demonstrating their newly developed ukulele skills accompanying soloists Aderonke Saliu and Jaymee De Siúin with their cover of I'm Yours by Jason Mraz. This was followed by a piano masterclass with everything from Bach to Les Miserables from Justin Ó hÁgáin who is currently spending TY studying in the Royal Irish Academy of Music. Justin's repertoire included pieces he had performed that very day at the annual Feis Ceoil in Dublin where he was runner up in his category. The penultimate act of the night was the fabulous school trad group who had everyone's toes tapping to a traditional cover of Hey Jude by the Beatles and a set of slip jigs including the Rocky Road to Dublin. And last but not least the award winning school choir accompanied by Liz Mc Connon on piano closed the night with their newly translated version of Wheatus's Teenage Dirtbag, a throwback to their Scléip winning arrangement of Titanium by David Guetta and Sia and finally got the whole crowd involved in an encore of Stand By Me by Ben E King.
Parents, teachers and students alike worked incredibly hard to make this night a reality and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the evening which was registered as an official Bliain na Gaeilge 2018 event. A special word of thanks must go to Helena Mullins/Helena Ní Mhaoláin and the Mid-Morning Show at LMFM who kindly invited some of our students into studio on the afternoon of the Oíche Cheoil to speak about the event and perform live in studio.

MARSHFIELD, Mass. —
Prosecutors said a Massachusetts man facing murder charges in court Wednesday shot and stabbed his wife multiple times and struck with her a vehicle.

There is an interesting tale in the Bible recounted in 2 Samuel 6: the case of Uzzah. The background: the ark of the covenant had been lost some time before in battle, and wound up in the house of this one Abinadab. King David sent his men to retrieve the ark from Abinadab and restore it back to its proper place in the tabernacle. Now as the ark represented the very presence of God and as such was holy, God gave Israel specific instructions for transporting the ark in order to prevent the holiness of God from coming into contact with sinful hands. The ark had been constructed with rings on each side so that staves – rods if you will – could be slid through them, and thus the ark could be carried without human hands being placed on them. Further, even the ones carrying the ark had to be priests that had been ritually purified. In case this seems a bit strange, please recall that these events took place before the work of Jesus Christ on the cross, before the tearing of the veil, and before sinful man could approach God directly. At this time, no payment, no atonement, no satisfaction for the wrath of God against sinful man had been made, so the punishment for approaching God in a manner not commanded by God was death. And this is what Uzzah found out.
For David did not have the priests go out and bear the ark on staves in the manner that God commanded. Instead, the ark was placed on a cart driven by oxen! I suppose the fact that it was a NEW cart was supposed to make this disobedience somehow better. Inevitably, as oxen driven carts carrying precious and holy cargo that was never supposed to be transported in such a manner tend to do, the rough ride caused the ark of the covenant to shake violently, as if it was going to overturn and fall off. Uzzah, thinking that he was acting out of respect and devotion to the ark of the covenant, reached out to steady it. When his sinful hand touched the ark of the covenant, he was slain on the spot.
It is easy for us in our human minds to sympathize with Uzzah. Wasn't he trying to do the right thing? Wasn't he trying to do his best? After all, it wasn't his fault that the ark was being transported incorrectly. He was only following the commands of his king David. What was he supposed to do? Allow the ark to topple and fall over and its holy contents fall out and possibly break? What would have happened then? It is incidents like this that cause many to believe that the God of the Old Testament was different from the God of the New Testament, which was the heresy of Marcion. Or many believe that the God of the Old Testament dealt with mankind in a different manner than the God of the New Testament, which is the basis of dispensationalism theology. Or they simply feel that God was much angrier, demanding, harder to please, even arbitrary in the Old Testament, and those of us living in the age of grace have a better deal. Again, that is if you look at it from man's perspective, sympathize with Uzzah, and place ourselves in his shoes.
While doing so is human and natural, it is not being fair to God. Instead of putting ourselves in Uzzah's shoes, the duty of the Christian is to look at this from GOD'S perspective. David referred to this incident Perezuzzah, which means a breach was made upon Uzzah, but the true offense was made against the holy and righteous God. After all, it was Israel's sin that caused the ark to be taken in the first place. It was still more sinful behavior that the rulers of Israel took their sweet time retrieving the ark of the covenant when they should have done so as quickly as possible. The method of transporting the ark was also in violation of God's explicit commands, also sinful. And finally Uzzah's grabbing the ark was sinful. How much sin, how much disobedience, how much defiance, how much evil was God supposed to endure before acting? Why do we, children of God, care more about the injury done to Uzzah, a creature, than we do to the holy character and nature of God? Why do we have this conviction that man can behave as he chooses and God has to just take it, as if He is our servant whose duty is to put up with our nonsense? Is this what we think that grace means?
The truth is that God gave a specific command: not to touch the ark of the covenant. Uzzah was aware of this command, and broke it. Why? Because of faithlessness which leads to presumption. Uzzah presumed that God would be more displeased by the ark's falling over than He would be with Uzzah's disobedience. In doing so, Uzzah completely misunderstood God's nature. Uzzah either ignored or rejected what God was using the ark of the covenant to teach him. Taking care of the ark became more important than obeying the God whom the ark pointed to and represented, and by doing so Uzzah made the ark of the covenant into an idol that he worshiped in the place of God. Instead of serving the true God through faith by obeying the commandment of the Lord and not touching the ark whatever the consequences, Uzzah created his own self-styled observance, his own rules for religious worship, and thereby broke God's commands.
What is the purpose of religion in the first place? It is to help us praise and serve God. If we pursue religion through the faith that leads to obedience, then religion is a good thing. But if the religion is practiced in the absence of obedience, then it is the religion that is being worshiped instead of God, and ultimately it is ourselves – our own values, notions, and desires – that are worshiped instead of God. Religion absent obedience to God is idolatry, because we are worshiping our own creation, the things of our own hands. That is exactly what Uzzah did when he decided that keeping the ark from falling over was more important than obeying God. It is reminiscient of the sin of Saul, who rather than waiting on Samuel to bring him the Lord's instructions instead faithlessly and presumptuously offered a sacrifice, attempting to buy and bribe God into giving Him victory in battle, and in that way treating God as if He were one of the false pagan deities whose favors were bought with gifts, rituals and ceremonies.
Now do not be deceived: I am not saying that for Uzzah to have faith would have meant believing that the ark would not fall if he did not touch it; believing that God would have somehow supernaturally kept the ark from falling … that it would have fallen out of the cart but flew or floated on air without touching the ground, or that it would have never fallen out of the cart in the first place. That is false, outcome-based man-pleasing man-centered religious thinking. Why? Because our obedience to God is not based upon any particular outcome! That is double-dealing, working both sides, having a foot in two camps! That is not how man responds to a sovereign God! Instead, faithfulness on the part of Uzzah would have been to not touch the ark whether it would have fallen or not! Instead of trying to honor the ark by keeping it from falling, Uzzah would have honored the God whom the ark represented, the God that was greater than the ark, by doing what He says!
And what if the ark had fallen? Would it have been a terrible thing? Of course. But this is the rub: God has equipped us to deal with terrible things. God has promised to stand with us, to go out before us in battle, to never leave us or forsake us. Bad things are going to happen. Illnesses. Betrayals. Church splits. Persecution. False imprisonments. Deaths. Trials, turmoils and tribulations, wars and rumors of wars, plagues, heartaches and heartbreaks. Those things are going to happen, and God has never at any time promised us that they would not. Instead, what we are supposed to do is remain faithful. Remain obedient. We are to keep God's commandments, see the bad things happen, and then see how God deals with it. Or more accurately, see how God uses the bad things that happen to deal with US. To mold US. To shape US. To train US. To prune, rebuke, and chastise US. To conform US into the image of His Son. Uzzah should have just let the ark of the covenant fall to the ground and then ask in prayer "What now Lord?" But he didn't, and the reason was that he lacked the faith to come to the conclusion that no matter what happens, God can fix it. Or even better, even if God doesn't fix it, GOD CAN STILL USE IT! Even in the most limited human thinking, Uzzah should have realized that had the ark of the covenant fallen off the cart, that would have been David's responsibility for not ordering the priests to come carry the ark in the first place. But when he reached out and touched the ark, the responsibility went from David to himself, and he alone faced the consquences.
This is why we have to flee religious doctrines and movements that rationalize disobedience. We have to reject the excuses and the lies. We have to turn away from the compromise. We should only attach ourselves to and fellowship with Christians who are making their best efforts to obey. This is impossible you say? Of course it isn't. After all, look at Uzzah. He wasn't the only one near the cart. He wasn't the only one who saw the ark shake. Yet he was the only one who touched the ark! Everyone else obeyed. Uzzah was the only one who didn't. So, in acting out of disobedience because of his lack of faith, Uzzah presented the Lord an unacceptable sacrifice similar to that of Cain. He gave the Lord an unacceptable sacrifice that can be compared to those of Israel at the time of their apostasy when God warned through His prophets that they displeased Him and would not be accepted by Him. Why should God accept our religion done in disobedience when He has empowered us to do better? If He did not accept the disobedience of Uzzah and those like Him under the old covenant, why should He accept our religious disobedience today, where obligation and ritual and traditions matter more than loving faithful and obedient hearts?
How many Uzzahs do we have in the church today? It would appear to be quite a few because of the culture of permissiveness that is rampant in these last and evil days. I am here today to warn you: those who partake in Uzzah's behavior will receive Uzzah's reward. This is not a warning to the unsaved, for the unsaved do not need to be told to obey. How can an unsaved person obey without the Holy Spirit? And if an unsaved person does somehow obey, what good will that unsaved person's obedience be on judgment day, when he is cast into the lake of fire with all the other unsaved obedient or not? Instead, this is a warning to the born again believers. Do not use the grace of God as license to commit evil. Instead, reject the way of Uzzah and love the Lord with all your heart, soul and strength by obeying Him and keeping His commandments. Examine yourselves, Christians, as to whether there is an area in your lives where you are disobedient. I am not speaking of sin, because the New Testament makes it clear that even Christians will sin. Instead, the question to you today is whether there is some area in your life where you are persistently disobedient. It may be some habit, or it may even be the result of some doctrine. Read the warnings to the churches in Revelation 2 and 3 to see how false doctrines cause many in the church to live in disobedience. While you do so, pay attention to the context of Revelation 2:23, which reads "And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works." Do not believe that simply because you are a born again Christian that what happened to Uzzah cannot happen to you if you continue in disobedience.
This part of our Lord's discourse is about being prepared for His return. Our hearts need to be on His expectant return not the ways and means of this world. Goods are not the sum of the lives of those in Christ. Lot's wife did not escape God's judgment because her heart was still tied to Sodom. She looked back and was killed. In this age those in the "not yet" part of the manifestation of the kingdom, Christians should live in such away that that their lives belong totally to their Lord not themselves. They should be living sacrifices being daily transformed through the renewing of their minds (Romans 12:1-2). They should be willing to obey the Lord even if that brings persecution. Notice also that the ones who belong to the Lord will be taken away and be saved while those right next them who are not in Christ will lose their lives. Just being close to a genuine Christian is not enough to save anyone. Think of those people who believe that their religiosity will save them.
Our Lord ends this discourse in the use of a popular proverb to teach that just as dead bodies attract vultures, so the spiritually dead invite judgment. My brethren, in this age things will continue to become worse and worse until the cup of God's wrath becomes full. The end of this age is known by God alone and when it comes the world will be shocked. Our part is to be prepared by walking in repentance and obeying the commands of our Lord to make disciples from all nations. Some of us teach, some of us go to the uttermost parts of the world to make disciples, some of us live and work in the midst of this lost and dying generation with friends and even family members who hate the truth and despise the gospel. Our part is to not be part of this world. We must live in it, but we must not be part of it. We must become separate from it as we work to become the disciples God wants us to be and to work to tell as many as we can about the hope that lives in us.

Move Over Egypt: Homeland Security Shuts Down Sports Websites
By POPEYE
(POLITICO) The federal government has seized the Web addresses of 10 websites that allegedly live stream sporting and pay-per-view events online, shutting them down just days before one of the biggest televised sporting events of the year: the Super Bowl.
The U. S. Attorney's Office of the Southern District of New York, working in conjunction with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, seized the Web addresses Tuesday. The seizure affidavit was unsealed Wednesday.
The websites, which include channelsurfing.net and Spain-based rojadirecta.org, were said to illegally provide access to content from the major professional sports organizations, namely the National Football League, National Basketball Association and the National Hockey League. The sites do not host the pirated sporting content themselves, but instead provide links to other websites where people can access it illegally.
Government officials argue that the sites are not only distributing pirated content illegally, but in the process, are also denting the revenues of the professional sports leagues and broadcasters as well as negatively impacting viewers.
"The illegal streaming of professional sporting events over the Internet deals a financial body blow to the leagues and broadcasters, who are forced to pass their losses off to fans by raising prices for tickets and pay-per-view events," said Preet Bharara, U.S. Attorney in Manhattan. "With the Super Bowl just days away, the seizures of these infringing websites reaffirm our commitment to working with our law enforcement partners to protect copyrighted material and put the people who steal it out of business."
Fans have increasingly abandoned watching sports games on their television sets, opting instead to watch them on their computers via the Web instead. The shift has jolted professional sports organizations, which are grappling with how to control the growing problem of the illegal streaming of sports games online in real time. The organizations copyright the content of their sports games — from the audio, video, text and images — and restrict others from distributing it without prior written approval.
But the government's action didn't provide a permanent solution to the problem. One of the sites that was shut down on Wednesday, ATDHE.net, has already reappeared at a new Web address, ATDHE.me.
The federal government launched a similar campaign last November that shut down 82 websites offering counterfeit goods and digital music and movie content. U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and ICE Director John Morton had warned that the two agencies were committed to going after more websites that offer copyrighted content illegally.
Morton repeated that message during Wednesday's operation.
"This swift action by our Homeland Security Investigations New York special agents and analysts sends a clear message to website operators who mistakenly believe it's worth the risk to take copyrighted programming and portray it as their own," Morton said. "We will continue to aggressively investigate this type of crime with our law enforcement partners."

MHRP began a new Ebola vaccine study last week at its site in Abuja, Nigeria in collaboration with the Nigerian Ministries of Defence and Health.
The vaccine used in the study (RV429) is the monovalent chimpanzee adenovirus Type 3 (ChAd3) candidate developed at the NIAID and being developed by GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), the study sponsor. First vaccinations began on 21 August.
Since 2005, MHRP's program in Nigeria—called the Walter Reed Program-Nigeria—has been working closely with the Nigerian Ministries of Defence and Health to enhance HIV prevention, care and treatment through the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) in Africa's most populous nation. MHRP has also been building a sustainable research infrastructure in Nigeria for future HIV vaccine trials.
This is the first MHRP/WRAIR vaccine study to be conducted in Nigeria and the WRAIR's fourth Ebola vaccine study to date.

VISA Pushes for Financial Inclusion in the Philippines
<< Graham Seel, The Norman Group: Financial Inclusion Will Require Simplicity Heather Franzese, Executive Director, Good World Solutions: Mobile in Mi... >>
Philippines, May, 07 2015 - The multinational financial services company pushes for financial inclusion under its corporate social responsibility (CSR) arm. It cites that financial inclusion is about bringing more people into the formal financial system – a global imperative for governments, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and the private sector.
'Simply providing people with an account is insufficient. They have to be using it,' says Stephen Kehoe, VISA senior vice president and head of global inclusion.
There is an opportunity for financial inclusion in the Philippines, and VISA is banking on such potential.
The multinational financial services company pushes for financial inclusion under its corporate social responsibility (CSR) arm. It cites that financial inclusion is about bringing more people into the formal financial system – a global imperative for governments, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and the private sector.
"Access to formal financial services can help improve the daily lives of the financially underserved and create opportunities to alleviate poverty among this population," VISA said.
Banking the unbanked
About 60% of adults in the Philippines are still unbanked, Stephen Kehoe, VISA's senior vice president and head of global financial inclusion cited, attributing the figure to a World Bank report. (READ: More poor Filipinos own financial accounts – BSP)
As such, VISA is bringing such effort to the Philippines by partnering with Philippine government and NGOs through the use of electronic payment (e-payment) accounts.
Kehoe said the number of people in the country who receive wages through e-payment accounts is only 6% – 7% below the regional average of 15%.
"This tells us that if we can convert more cash wage payments into electronic form, it will be a key driver in helping move financial inclusion," Kehoe said in a media briefing on Tuesday, May 5.
He added that there is also an opportunity in providing e-payment accounts to those who receive government benefits, of which only 4% are using such mode of disbursement.
Kehoe added that only 1% of Filipinos pay their utility bills electronically, versus the regional average of 12%.
Driving cash conversion activities like e-payroll, benefits e-disbursement, or e-bills payment will move people to use electronic accounts, Kehoe stressed.
Banking the vulnerable
Globally, VISA committed to bring 500 million people into the financial system in the next 5 years by providing them with payment accounts.
Kehoe said it is an aggressive target on their part, but thinks the Philippines, among other countries where VISA is promoting financial inclusion, will play a crucial role in meeting such commitment.
Part of that commitment is also helping the vulnerable, specifically those hit by disasters. Thus VISA partnered with Oxfam Philippines and Union Bank in a program that aims to electronically disburse cash aid in calamity-hit areas.
Kehoe went to Haiyan-hit Tacloban City Wednesday, May 6, to visit the site and monitor the program's progress.
Kehoe explained that disbursing aid via electronic prepaid card and providing handheld mobile point of sale devices prompt a whole new way to drive cash conversion activities in the country.
But he stressed that VISA is not only providing the initial e-payments account; it is also ensuring that people are actually using these accounts.
Thus, financial literacy plays a key part in making financial inclusion possible.
VISA provides free financial literacy programs around the world, covering over 30 countries and territories with materials translated in more than 10 languages. It also has MoneySkills, a website covering a range of financial literacy topics and translated and localized for geographic market.

Q: Repeating Decimal Algorithm I'm trying to write a simple repeating decimal algorithm. Right now I'm pretty close to having something that works.
I tried to use this algorithm: How to know the repeating decimal in a fraction?

"A very simple algorithm is this: implement long division. Record
  every intermediate division you do. As soon as you see a division
  identical to the one you've done before, you have what's being
  repeated."

I was able to do all of the above except for detecting the repeating decimal pattern and putting it in brackets.
For the fraction 7/13 my output should be 0.[538461] right now it's 0,5,3,8,4,6,1,5,3,8,4,6,1,5,3,8,4,6,1,5.
Any suggestions on how to implement detecting the repeating decimal pattern and putting it in brackets using the algorithm I mentioned above? I know there's similar questions but I would like to implement it with my current code using the algorithm I mentioned above.
<script>
// All the prime numbers under 1,000
var primeNumbers = [2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97, 101, 103, 107, 109, 113, 127, 131, 137, 139, 149, 151, 157, 163, 167, 173, 179, 181, 191, 193, 197, 199, 211, 223, 227, 229, 233, 239, 241, 251, 257, 263, 269, 271, 277, 281, 283, 293, 307, 311, 313, 317, 331, 337, 347, 349, 353, 359, 367, 373, 379, 383, 389, 397, 401, 409, 419, 421, 431, 433, 439, 443, 449, 457, 461, 463, 467, 479, 487, 491, 499, 503, 509, 521, 523, 541, 547, 557, 563, 569, 571, 577, 587, 593, 599, 601, 607, 613, 617, 619, 631, 641, 643, 647, 653, 659, 661, 673, 677, 683, 691, 701, 709, 719, 727, 733, 739, 743, 751, 757, 761, 769, 773, 787, 797, 809, 811, 821, 823, 827, 829, 839, 853, 857, 859, 863, 877, 881, 883, 887, 907, 911, 919, 929, 937, 941, 947, 953, 967, 971, 977, 983, 991, 997];

// Finds all the prime factors of a non-zero integer
// a = integer
function primeFactors(a) {
    var primeFactors = new Array();

    // Trial division algorithm
    for (var i = 0, p = primeNumbers[i]; i < primeNumbers.length && p * p <= a; i++, p = primeNumbers[i]) {
        while (a % p == 0) {
                primeFactors.push(p);

                a /= p;
        }
    }

    if (a > 1) {
        primeFactors.push(a);

    return primeFactors;
}

// Converts a fraction to a decimal
// i = number
// n = numerator
// d = denominator
function fractionToDecimal(n, d) {
    var pFS = primeFactors(d);

    for (var i = 0; i < pFS.length; i++) { // Go through each of the denominators prime factors

        if (pFS[i] !== 2 && pFS[i] !== 5) { // We have a repeating decimal

            var output = new Array();

            // Let's find the repeating decimal
            // Repeating decimal algorithm - uses long division
            for (var i = 0; i < 20; i++) { // For now find 20 spots, ideally this should stop after it finds the repeating decimal

                // How many times does the denominator go into the numerator evenly
                var temp2 = parseInt(n / d);

                output.push(temp2);

                var n = n % d;

                n += "0";
            }

            return "Repeating decimal: " + output;
        }
    }

    // Terminating decimal
    return "Terminating decimal: " + n / d;
}

document.write(fractionToDecimal(7, 13));
</script>

A: You've got most of it figured out, only 2 parts are missing:

*

*Check that the numerator of long division is repeating and halt the loop. When numerator repeats, it means that we have found the repeating decimal.

*Convert array to string without commas, which is easily achievable by using join('').
Here's the relevant part of your code with the above 2 points implemented:
function fractionToDecimal(n, d) {
    var pFS = primeFactors(d);
    for (var i = 0; i < pFS.length; i++) { // Go through each of the denominators prime factors

        if (pFS[i] !== 2 && pFS[i] !== 5) { // We have a repeating decimal

            var output = new Array();
            var ns = new Array();

            // Let's find the repeating decimal
            // Repeating decimal algorithm - uses long division
            for (var i = 0; i < 20; i++) { // For now find 20 spots, ideally this should stop after it finds the repeating decimal
                // How many times does the denominator go into the numerator evenly
                var temp2 = parseInt(n / d);

                if (ns[n] === undefined) {
                    ns[n] = i;
                } else {
                    return "Repeating decimal: " +
                        output.slice(0, 1).join('') +
                        '.' +
                        output.slice(1, ns[n]).join('') +
                        '[' + output.slice(ns[n]).join('') + ']'
                    ;
                }

                output.push(temp2);
                var n = n % d;
                n += "0";
            }
            return "Repeating decimal: " + output;
        }
    }

    // Terminating decimal
    return "Terminating decimal: " + n / d;
}

We would love to maintain a list of publications that result from this conference, thereby maintaining the networks we built and ensuring that this research is not forgotten.


They [kids] know now that when they say something it will be welcomed and discussed - the relationships in the classroom are fantastic.
Less surprising is the increased interest in e-learning, blended learning and mobile learning, which is already reflected in high levels of activity among developers.
Memorisation of facts without the skills is obviously a waste of time, and I understand that you need the skills to locate, manage and synthesize the freely available information to create knowledge, but we still need a knowledge of some content, surely, otherwise the skills are free floating and without context.
Things i see teachers do that just make me marvel and feel proud to be a part of the profession.


I needed to do this blog post after I forgot how crazy in love I am with collecting or trying to acquire these bags for my collection. I sound like a crazed lunatic at times who doesn't have anything better to do. But alas I don't really have any of these in my collection but slowly and surely it's something to aim for. A girl can dream can't she? They are in the steep end of where prices go and for a girl who's happy with a bag that isn't associated with a big brand most of the time... I still couldn't pass on these pretties! There are those days when my heart does flutter at the sound of Prada... or Hermes... or Chanel. *Sigh*.
So without wasting a single minute more of continued babble. Here it is. Eat your heart out ladies. Well... just stare lovingly at these beauties!

Q: why lrzsz didn't work in putty or MobaXterm? lrzsz is a good tool to transfer files between Windows and linux. I know it works in xshell but when I use MobaXterm or putty to log in a remote host, I meet some problems.
I can install lrzsz sucessfuly in linux but when I use 'lrz',it gets stuck and something like ▒CCCCCCCCCC023be50eive.**B0100000023be50 shows. I don't know why and how to fix it.

A: Well, you can get a putty suite program pscp to do scp, and mobaxterm has scp (technically sftp) built into it that even opens in the left column of a terminal session so you can transfer files via GUI clicks.
Zmodem dates back to the era of dial in modems, and the terminal program was expected to recognize the starting sequence and launch the reception side of the transfer.  That's not built into putty or mobaxterm.
There are ssh clients that do support zmodem.  Wikipedia lists AbsoluteTelnet, SecureCRT, Tera Term and ZOC (I have never used any of these myself)
If you really were stuck behind something that blocks scp, and wanted to transfer short files, you could use uuencode or base64 (or even xxd) to change a binary file into a printable ASCII block, and capture that in your terminal's scroll back buffer.  You'd have to have to find a windows utility to convert back.

Searching for crowdfunding startups for La Canada Flintridge California? Wondering how to start a crowdfunding project?
One of the most challenging elements of getting an enterprise off the ground is moneying. You can try to court investors and investor, but if you 're brand-new to entrepreneurship, the odds of having the ability to safeguard financing with these networks is very slim.
You could also talk to your bank, as well as friends and family to see if they would be willing to provide you money, however many times this is additionally an uphill battle.
You could launch a crowdfunding project to request for the financing you call for, and also verify your suggestion at the same time.
Make indisputable – crowdfunding projects take a considerable quantity of job, however if you 're major regarding entering organization, then you ought to be willing to put in the time and also energy necessary to promote your job.
Crowdfunding has actually presented a substantial change in exactly how business owners assess and also bring their items to life.
Like the desktop computer brought calculating to everybody, crowdfunding has actually put investing and moneying in the hands of the masses.
Everyone recognizes the Statue of Freedom just depends on a granite plinth today since individuals contributed funds for its acquisition in 1884. But back in 1713, the poet Alexander Pope equated Homer's Iliad from Greek into English, by taking development registrations from the general public. The job was a 7 year project with a single volume created each year.
Who understood the public would certainly be so patient to get the ' item ' they want?
This belief has even rollovered right into contemporary crowdfunding, with job designers effectively taking advantage of their pool of previous backers for brand-new tasks.
Crowdfunding has been made use of to fund every little thing from the not-so-serious ($ 1,050 elevated for a Chipotle chicken burrito) to the more practical (realty investments of around $2.57 billion in 2015).
The spectrum of tasks you could fund by means of the group are apparently limitless, however getting funded isn't as very easy as it appears.
It may feel like a strange thing to point out initially, however it 's crucial to identify that not all projects prosper. There are a lot of rules walks around promotion as well as advertisements that can go wrong. And sometimes not getting funded can be a good idea.
Why is this vital? Because you should recognize when to advance as well as attempt once again, or when to surrender and attempt a new or different suggestion.
Inning accordance with Kickstarter, much less than 4o% of approved campaigns obtain moneyed. With an additional 20% of project entries obtaining denied, just around a 3rd of all projects in fact get moneyed!
To some extent, you have to be prepared to stop working. There 's a great deal you can learn from a crowdfunding failing, and it could offer you with the raw information you need to make modifications for a future campaign.
Although you ought to never stop working for failing, it 's best to take on the way of thinking that you have nothing to shed, due to the fact that you don 't. You could constantly attempt once again.
But this 'dry run ' gives invaluable real-world data and comments. Appearing on a website like Kickstarter that gets more than 13 million visitors monthly, provides you tons of the ideal sort of direct exposure. This target market will certainly give you comments and also can help guide future item layout.
Just ask the individuals behind the Coolest Colder. Their first round of funding on Kickstarter stopped working, but they got wonderful comments as well as went back to the attracting board. Relaunching with an enhanced product, 10 months later, they raised 20,000% of their first objective!
Understand that it 's not everything about the cash; your crowdfunding project can assist you validate an item, begin building a fanbase and locate long-lasting consumers.
Acquiring financing is among the most significant obstacles most business owners will certainly need to overcome. If a small business loan won 't cover what you need as well as you put on 't have any type of connections to capitalists, it can be tough to recognize where to begin. On-line crowdfunding– raising smaller sized quantities of cash from numerous backers– has actually become a significantly usual solution to this dilemma since it allows start-ups to reach out to a large number of prospective capitalists at the same time.
Although Kickstarter and also Indiegogo are 2 of one of the most popular crowdfunding systems, success there isn 't constantly guaranteed: For every job that satisfies its objective, there are dozens that simply didn 't pick up enough steam to obtain funded. So, where else can you transform?
What if your benefactors could do greater than just offer to your company? Crazy principle, right?
Crowdfunding is the future of philanthropy, as well as has actually currently been expanding in popularity as a brand-new channel of fundraising for countless nonprofits in the United States and the UK. If you 're not familiar with it, well, this is the blog post for you.
Crowdfunding is about cumulative initiative. Think about the power one person has– and afterwards increase it by hundreds, thousands, also millions! When a lot of individuals get together and pool their sources, networks, as well as suggestions, it could have a huge benefit for nonprofit companies.
Of course, the web has actually made every one of this much less complicated, scalable, as well as resource-friendly for all events.
So instead of your fundraising coming simply from within your company via obtaining contributors, with crowdfunding, you could leverage your currently motivated advocates to fundraise for your objective via their own individual networks online, with social networks, and also with e-mail. Whether it 's for a fundraising event or simply a year round campaign, broadening your fundraising networks will, undeniably, aid to sustain your company 's fundraising pyramid for the future.
And also crowdfunding isn 't going away, either. Actually, over the last three years, this subject has been showcased an increasing number of, according to Google Trends.
Crowdfunding is used by nonprofits, to be sure. However a range of various other entities have actually used it to their advantage, also– consisting of independent musicians, manufacturing firms, political projects, startups, or even scientific researchers.
But the nonprofit market has seen the biggest benefit from this fundraising trend and software application companies, like Kickstarter and also Indiegogo, are developing very easy ways to carry out crowdfunding for those that are incapable to create the innovation themselves. This truly permits companies to focus on just what they do best: fundraising, development, as well as interaction with components.
Numerous nonprofits take it one step better as well as convert their finest techniques of fundraising right into instructional overviews for specific fundraisers so they could be as successful as feasible with their very own peer-to-peer campaigns.


The film stars Dhyan Sreenivasan, Prayaga Martinand and Aju Varghese in the lead roles.
After months of anticipated waiting, Dhyan Sreenivasan's college based suspense thriller Malayalam film ''Ore Mukham" was released on December 02, 2016 in Kerala and all over India. The film which features the young actor in a different beardy look has succeeded in impressing the Mollywood audiences who love movies of the thriller genre.
The film is filled with an ensemble star cast including Prayaga Martin, Aju Varghese, and Deepak. As per latest updates, most of the theaters witnessed an attendance percentage of 90 on the first day, even in the midst of "Puli Murugan" fever which has already gripped the state.
The movie is set in the backdrop of a campus in the 1980's. In this film, we can see Dhyan in the role of Zacharia, a dashing young student who is the uncrowned king of his college.
Things take a new turn in his life when a double murder takes place in the college campus. Is he the person behind these killings? The answer to this question will be revealed at the end of the movie.
Dhyan, the son of veteran star Sreenivasan made his grand entry in Mollywood through "Thira." Later, he acted in "Adi Kapyare Kootamani" which featured the star in the role of a funny guy.
When it comes to "Ore Mukham", the actor has undergone a complete makeover, as this character is so rough and tough in nature. The actor has excelled while portraying the role of Zacharia, the man of mysteries.
Sajith Jaganandan has crafted the movie in an interesting way, and in most of the scenes, the audience will be compelled to sit on the edge of their seats. If you are the one who loves movies with fresh twists and turns, then ''Ore Mukham" will be the perfect cup of tea for you.

John Yunker, co-founder of Byte Level Research and author of the new book, Think Outside the Country, is considered the expert on web globalization. Over the past decade, he has helped hundreds of companies and organizations improve their global websites and processes.
Below are excerpts from an interview I conducted with him where he shares insights and tips on how to attract a global audience to a website.
First off, is there a proven systematic process for taking a website global?
As illustrated below, internationalization is the process of making your website "world ready," and localization is the process of adapting the website to one or more locales. I like to use this automotive analogy: Toyota first had to "internationalize" the car by creating a platform that supported a steering wheel on either side, different engines, etc. The localization of that car happened when it had to adapt to each region/country of the world. Translation occurs in the localization stage.
Let's say I am a startup operation based in Chicago, Ill., offering nutraceutical products. I'd like to do business in the United States, the Netherlands and Poland. What do you suggest I do to make that known on my site?
First, I would ask what regulations I must follow for each region. For example, in the European Union, medical products are required to support all EU languages through product documentation. Regarding the website, while many people in the Netherlands and Poland do speak English as a second language, if you want to succeed with eCommerce, you need to support their languages.
But eCommerce is one of the most challenging aspects of going global because you must support shipping, currencies and returns.
You might first investigate using established platforms to sell your products, such as eBay, Amazon and others.
You've said that people don't buy from global companies. What do you mean by that statement?
Do we buy a Starbucks coffee because it has stores in more than 20 countries, or do we buy because there is a location just a block away? A lot of companies make the mistake of thinking that because they're large and global, they have an advantage over local upstarts. But people tend to be more comfortable shopping from local vendors. Now "local" might be as narrow as your neighborhood or as wide as your country, but this is why localization is so critical to success.
If the world were 100 people, where is everybody living? How does this relate to web globalization?
More than half of these hundred people live in Asia. North America accounts for just seven residents. This has major implications on website globalization. As shown below, fewer than 25 percent of internet users are native-English speakers. According to the 2017 Web Globalization Report Card, the leading global brands support an average of 30 languages.
Let's talk design. Tell me about what readers should think about when they design their websites for a global audience. For example, should a business owner support less content across more markets or more content across a few markets?
First of all, companies need to develop global templates that are shared consistently across all local sites, but flexible enough to support different content and text for each market. As for how much content, I recommend a tiered strategy in which your "tier 1" markets receive a greater investment in localization than lower-tier markets. But beware of creating a "local façade" in which you translate a few pages and nothing more. If users find nothing of value on your website, they won't be coming back any time soon.
And what about cultural nuances? How do you convey that on a website?
This is where the "art" of web globalization comes into play. Your vendor can play a huge role in helping you "transcreate" your marketing messages for each market. Transcreating is a more flexible, marketing-oriented form of translation and can be far more successful in communicating with customers and prospects.
What is the one thing you caution everyone on when taking their website global?
Take it slow and think long term. Remember that every globally successful website today, including Facebook, Amazon and Google, began with just one language.
How can business owners make it easier for people worldwide to find their website?
If you can, register country codes for each country you plan to support. Google gives added weight to country codes as the "front door" to your country website. And, of course, the more translated content you offer, the more relevant it will be to customers.
Translating your website might be a good first step to accommodate new overseas markets, but what strategies would you recommend to support the leads that come from having your website in other languages, especially if you don't have staff that speak all of those languages?
Vendors can provide email and even chat support in various languages. You can also work with freelancers in each market to assist in supporting customers. And, worst case, you can always try Google Translate to get the gist of the question.
In addition to your new book, do you have other resources to recommend?
If you have technical questions about web globalization, the World Wide Web Consortium offers a wealth of best practices.
Anything critical we are missing, especially from a legal standpoint, getting paid or reserving domain names in different countries?
I've long argued that country code registrations should be viewed as much as a legal expense as a marketing expense. You're protecting your brand name around the world.

PMI Leaves, Pielroja Taken Off Market
Philip Morris International (PMI) is closing its factories in Columbia, leading some to believe the country's iconic Pielroja cigarette will be taken off the market.
The factory closures will affect at least 800 factory workers in Medellin and Barranquilla and approximately 100 tobacco growers who have provided the leaves for the cigarette. PMI subsidiary, Coltabaco, said the company bought up more than half of the tobacco produced in the country.
PMI cited illicit tobacco trade in Columbia as the reason for the closures. "The illicit cigarette trade soared as a result of the sharp increase in sales taxes in 2016 and reached record highs in 2018 at 25% of the market," said Philip Morris Colombia's vice-president, Carlos Guzman.
The tobacco workers' labor union, however, disagrees. A union spokesperson said, "The reason for the closure is an international policy of decentralization of production. It's true that contraband has gone up and it's true that taxes have gone up, but the tax rate here in Colombia is still the second-lowest in Latin America."
