We're the News Team
By Bailey BrownAugust 14, 2018No Comments
Welcome to a new school year Sooners! Let us introduce ourselves. We are the writers of Sooner Esports.
The name is Stingray Schuller, yes, Stingray. I am a transfer student from The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV) pursuing a bachelor's degree in Creative Media Production. Freshman year of high school my friend was playing a video game during lunchtime on his laptop, and that introduced me to the world of PC gaming. I will be producing videos for the news team.
Hi, I'm Salvador Soldi and I'm majoring in Creative Media Production. My first gaming experience was in 2005 when my brother introduced me to this small indie title called World of Warcraft. I'm a fanatic about peripherals, from mice and keyboards to monitors and the like. I'm also into professional Counter-Strike so expect some analysis and commentary on players, tournaments, stats, teams, etc.
Hello world! My name is James Myers and I am a Creative Media Production major. When I was a kid, my father and I used to play against each other on NCAA Football 1999 (talk about a throwback!) and that began my love for video games. Whether it be the latest installment of Madden or a groundbreaking game like God of War, I hope to give reviews of the latest in gaming and to give commentary on what the best are playing!
Hi, my name is David and I'm an alcoho… Huh? Oh, writing. Right. I'm a Chemical Engineering major, which you can totally tell by my rampant self-confidence and expressive people skills. One of my first games was the original Starcraft, which threw me headfirst into the world of video games and sparked a lifelong passion. Now that Starcraft is dead, my forte is League of Legends, where you'll see me casting and covering any and all events as well as writing more heavily opinionated articles about the state of the video game community.
Hi! My name is Courtney and I am currently studying Interior Design and Architecture. I started gaming when I was young with my older brothers. Long hours of playing Gears of War, Halo, and World of Warcraft color my childhood memories. I love playing games with my friends such as Overwatch, Dungeons and Dragons, and any other fun thing we can get our hands on. I love to discuss and write about current social issues and how they tie into the gaming community, as well as new developments within the community.
Hi, I'm Alex Heuer, and I'm a Computer Engineering major. In third grade, a friend introduced me to Runescape. I spent every day that summer grinding out levels, and I've been a gamer ever since. While my opinions on games rarely extend beyond a simple "I liked it" or "Didn't care for it", you'll see me voice much deeper critiques, concerns, and recommendations surrounding a variety of gaming peripherals in my product reviews.
Hey everybody, my name is Alex Sigman and I am studying Online Journalism. I started on gaming very young, spending much of my time as a toddler sitting on my dad's lap watching him play Crash Bandicoot on the original PlayStation. My love for video games only grew and now I enjoy expressing my passion through the journalistic side of games. I dabble in almost any kind of writing when it comes to games, so expect a broad variety of opinions and focuses when it comes to my personal writing.
Hi there! I'm Bailey Brown and I'm the editor in chief of Sooner Esports. I didn't start really gaming until I got my hands on my first ever Nintendo DS. Since then, I've fallen for the world of Nintendo and recently got into competitive online games, like Overwatch and Hearthstone. When it comes to writing, I'm all over the place on here, catch me recapping events and always covering what's happening with Nintendo.
We hope that is a place where we can express our opinions and our creativity freely, while also informing and entertaining our readers. Thank you for meeting us and we hope you look forward to our content.

Rasmalai, a traditional scrumptious Indian Dessert is easy to make sweet recipe.
Rasmalai is popular during festivals and occasions. You can prepare Rasmalai ahead and store in your fridge for birthday parties, kitty parties, buffets and even on office parties.
I have always been crazy about rasgulla, rasmalai, cham-cham. You name a Bengali sweet and I am all for it. Why Bengali sweets, any sweet and you will find me plunging right into it. Except maybe shrikhand, I cannot stand my curds sweetened. Do you like sweets too? What are your favourite sweets? Do mention in the comments, I will love to hear from you.
Coming to Rasmalai this is my second sweet for Holi Festival. The first being Phirni, that I have made from Plant-Based milk check it out here.
Ras malai, Rossomalai is an East Indian Dessert.
Rasmalai is made from what is called chenna or cottage cheese that is freshly made, (the chenna may be white or coloured ) then cooked in sugar syrup. These are called rasgulla. But then this rasgulla is dipped in warm thickened milk and then you have your Rasmalai ready.
The main ingredients for Rasmalai are easily available in an Indian Pantry they are paneer/cottage cheese, flour, milk, cardamom, dry fruits, saffron. If you are looking for a sugar-free version then you can replace sugar with sugar-free or stevia.
Like I have already said you will need to make the rasmalai in 2 parts. Ras and malai. I prefer to make the malai first as this way I can always use readymade rasgulla or store brought rasgullas to dip in the ras in case I do not have time to make the rasgullas. Also, the rasgulla just disappear with me around so it is safer this way. You can make the rasgullas first if you prefer.
I have used readymade rasgulla today but check out the method of making Rasagulla out here.
A traditional Indian Dessert made by soaking cottage cheese balls in thickened milk.
Transfer the milk in a thick bottomed pan. The pressure cooker is the best.
Warm the milk and remove about say about a ¼ cup of milk.
Soak a few strands of saffron in the ¼ cup milk and set aside.
Let the milk come to a boil. I prefer to do this on low flame and I use a ceramic plate called basundi stone (see the picture). This prevents the milk from burning.
After about 10 minutes your milk will be a bit reduced now add the sugar, stir and continue boiling.
After 20-25 minutes the milk will have thickened well. Add the saffron milk and crushed cardamom mix. Bring to a boil and switch off the flame.
In case you are using readymade rasgulla like me then transfer them to a bowl. Take 1 ball and gently squeeze it between your palms. Transfer to the warm milk.
Your rasmalai is ready, you can eat it now. In fact, I love the ras malai at this stage too. The milk has not seeped in the rasgulla but still, it is delicious.
But be a good girl Archana and transfer to a container cover it and chill it in the refrigerator overnight or for 5-6 hours. Preferably when you are in office they will rest well.
Garnish with chopped pistachios, rose petals and few saffron strands before serving.
Make the rasmalai in advance, in fact, one day in advance is the best so the flavours are well absorbed and the rasgulla soaks well.
Add the crushed cardamom in the end. The aroma is amazing. Use cardamom pods for powdering the readymade or the essences do not do any justice.
Oh wow.. perfectly made rasmalais.. they look so inviting. This is something that I still have to try my hand at.. Will do that soon now that I have a nice recipe here..
Wow, Thanks Shobha. That is one amazing compliment. Please tag once you do.
I love rasmalai and rasgullas. I'm not a big fan of shrikhand as I prefer my yogurt not to be sweet. Your rasmalai is super tempting, each one shaped perfectly.
Mayuri, I thought I was one of the kind because I do not like sugar and curds. Thanks. I do not feel so odd now.
One of my favorite dessert. Love your detail step by step instructions. At times even I make it with ready made Rasgulla, comes in handy.

Next Adventure? Japan, it is.
This weekend was great, pretty chill and I took some much needed time to relax and think about my South Africa trip and wind down from an incredibly busy week at work. So that was great and pretty necessary, and I spent the usual few hours at the Ferry Building on Saturday just chillin', eating some nice food, watching the people, catching up on phone calls, and thinking about a bunch of stuff. Then some Blue Bottle coffee followed by some Pizza with Matt and his SCAD friends, then some drinks, some pool, some Dave Matthews Band on a jukebox, some gelato, and finally some Margaritas and discussion about Tron 2, graphics, and work. Good times.
I spent all day today sorting out stuff. First off I went out for coffee with Jacob and Kat, which was awesome, and chatted about camping sometime soon. I FINALLY got my beautiful Cars Wrap Party limited art print on the wall, this was a gift to us ages ago and I recently got it framed, but took forever to get it up on the wall. Anyhow, finally got it sorted and it looks good.
This evening just a lot of sorting out... laundry, dishes, emails, unpacking from South Africa, etc. Tons of stuff to take care of, and I did most of it which is great.
The real excitement is now that I'm back from my big adventure to South Africa... it's time to plan the next big adventure!! I am going to have to save up a lot for this one, but it is going to be soooooooo amazing and so worth it. Destination: Japan!!!!!!!!!!!! I was thinking about how awesome it would be to visit Asia, and Japan is one of the highest on my list. Most recently my friend Kurt visited there and has some ammmaaazing photos from the trip, which got me really excited and interested in going. I have no idea where I would travel to yet, or what to do there, or even what is interesting to see... but from Kurt's photos it looks like there is a TON of cool stuff, and so much different food and different cultural experiences, it sounds absolutely amazing.
I took a few pics from Kurt's Facebook, these pretty much sealed the deal for me on the whole Japan travel idea. :) As you can see from these few photos, this would probably be the best trip ever!!!!!!
The most awesome looking gardens ever
An umbrella vending machine?!??!?!?!?
Haha, Kurt in some sort of hat
This is Osaka at night, amaaaaaaaazing
My blog on PixarPlanet
Haha, this is funny. My blog has been blogged?
Every year, since 2000, Pixar host their own auto show called the "Pixar Motorama". Studio employees, and others, are invited to bring along their cool cars to show off to everyone else. Mike Jutan has posted on his blog some photographs and a commentary to follow of the event.

Movie Review: The Dark Knight
Tonight I saw the new Batman movie, The Dark Knight. This is Christopher Nolan's 2nd Batman film and it was just unbelievable. This is probably one of the only superhero films that you could call a cinematic masterpiece... it had so much depth and themes and indirect discussions of today's issues... it was outstanding.
The acting is all brilliant, the direction is spot on, the sound, effects, sets, makeup, costumes are all fantastic.
A wise story, a powerful message, and a heck of a great action film as well. This is going to win a whole lot of Oscars. :)
I just found this review, and I think this is a great explanation of the film and brings up some really interesting ideas and connections to the political race that is playing out in the real world.
CAPE, COWL AND CAMELOT
Batman and the audacity of hope.
By Steve Schneider, Orlando Weekly
For a guy whose business card could read "Guardian of Gotham City," Batman sure spends lot of time hanging around Camelot. Twice in the last four decades, an outpouring of Batmania has reflected the public's desire for political renewal; the first time, as that dream collapsed, and now as its latter-day incarnation teeters on the precipice between victory and disillusionment.
The 1966 Batman TV series, like most artifacts of its era, is commonly construed as a reaction to the JFK assassination. Depicting the Caped Crusader as a hopeless square, cultural historians believe, was a way to chastise ourselves for having ever believed in the indomitability of all-American fair play. It was self-punishment for our own naiveté. That thumbnail remembrance, though, ignores one seemingly obvious but crucial detail: Batman always won. Week after week, he triumphed over his enemies in ways that made them look both craven and stupid, despite their patently superior hipness. Factor in the higher ratings that were always afforded the show's concluding Thursday-night segment, and it's clear that more Americans saw interventionism ascendant than stuck in cliffhanger peril. Idealism landed a haymaker on cynicism's jaw, without fail.
Almost. A lone note of ambivalence was struck in the feature film that was released between the show's first and second seasons. In this outlandish opus, four of Batman's archest enemies were shown kidnapping a United Nations–like assemblage of international dignitaries – by draining their bodies of moisture and depositing the dustlike remains in glass vials. In the film's melodramatic climax, the particles become catastrophically jumbled, and Batman the master scientist is the only one who can set things right. An encouraging phone call even comes in from a Lyndon Johnson sound-alike who wishes our hero luck on behalf of "the whole free world." History's humble stand-in thus cedes agency to the only Kennedy we still have.
Yet when Batman "succeeds" in resuscitating the ambassadors, the latter's brains have clearly ended up in each other's bodies. The crime fighter and his sidekick, Robin, beat a sheepish retreat out the window of the mammoth United World building, not knowing if they've unintentionally furthered international understanding or made a fine mess of it. The question lingers as the end credits roll, the real world's Bat-fad begins its precipitous decline, and an unsettled nation shifts both eyes toward Vietnam.
Not just cynicism but nihilism is the charge that's being leveled at the current big-screen Bat-affair, The Dark Knight, and once again, the assessment is substantially off the mark. A product of these troubled times, the Christopher Nolan–directed sequel to 2005's Batman Begins includes nods to terrorism, domestic surveillance and even sanctioned torture. But one of its greatest feats is to capture our collective anxiety over the resurgent politics of hope. Shot largely on location in Chicago – the home, remember, of the "new" Democratic party – the movie apportions progressive activism between two mirror-image protagonists, Batman (Christian Bale) and crusading District Attorney Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart). The two of them, semiotically speaking, add up to one Obama: Batman is the (literally) black half, respected but feared by a citizenry that worries about his true allegiances and motivations. Meanwhile, Dent is lauded as the "white knight" of Gotham, his bid to clean up organized crime a campaign swathed in respectability and charm.
Readers of the comics will find it no spoiler that Dent's zeal earns him a world of hurt. What's particularly pertinent is how the film roots his eventual undoing in naked ambition. In the midst of a murder spree perpetrated by the sociopathic Joker (Heath Ledger), an angry Dent trains a gun on a potential informant, causing Batman to admonish the DA for his recklessness. What, our title hero asks, will become of the public trust if it's known that Dent, too, can cave in to the basest of emotions? You can hear echoes of the daily game of "gotcha" the media plays with self-styled reformers, and with their supporters' fears that "moving to the center" will expose them as politicians after all.
Like the already drawn-out presidential campaign, the 152-minute Dark Knight is an exercise in watching and waiting for hope to die. It doesn't, though the point has eluded even some of the most complimentary reviewers. The timely rub is that none of our protagonists – not Batman, not Dent and not virtuous policeman Jim Gordon (Gary Oldman) – can leverage his public image into the utopia they all seek. Each one suffers more than a little for his dreams. Instead, the film movingly illustrates that only Gotham can save Gotham – that, as Patti Smith once observed, "People Have the Power." (Or as somebody else has averred, "Yes, we can.") When it comes to mass-market messages, that's real audacity – and something to remember as we get ready to cast our votes, both at the box office and elsewhere.
Obama Reviews Wall-E!
This is awesome. Pretty amazing that the man who is likely going to be America's next president took time out of his very busy campaign schedule to take his daughter to a movie for her birthday... and which one was it?!? Yep, you guessed it... Wall-E!!!!!!!!!!!!

SAN DIEGO — Add one more name to the list of famous Chicago movie critics.
Barack Obama took his place aside Roger Ebert, Richard Roeper and the late Gene Siskel this weekend when he offered his review of the new Disney animated movie, "WALL-E."
The Democratic presidential contender and Illinois senator, who watched the film Saturday in Chicago with his daughters, gave it a verbal equivalent of four stars. The outing was part of a belated 10th birthday celebration for his older daughter, Malia.
"'WALL-E' was great," he told reporters aboard his campaign plane as he flew to California. "Thumbs up."
The movie features a love-starved, trash-compacting robot, WALL-E, and his quest for an electronic love interest.
"It's terrific. I really enjoyed it. And the girls had a great time," Obama said.
Other movie-goers appeared to agree: "WALL-E" rolled over the competition on its debut weekend at the end of June, taking first place with $63.1 million in box office receipts.
Hilarious and awesome. Pretty sweet that Obama saw all of our work on the big screen!!

Bastille Day Party and Waterloo peeps
We needed an excuse to finally cook Julien's Lucasfilm turkey and I was in South Africa during Canada Day and Independence Day, so we had a Bastille Day party to celebrate Julien being French and the final freeing up of his freezer space to be used for any non-turkey-storing related needs.
We shopped all morning, and cooked and peeled potatoes and apples and carrots alllllll afternoon, and the food was fantastic and awesome.
It was such a fun time, and so nice to spend some quality time with some good people who are far from being just work friends now. :) Yeeeah!! I just loved it, the food was good, and the company was even better. Plus I love Rachel's cats and I want them.
Sunday I went downtown with some of my Waterloo Crew. Yaron called and Craig was in town, visiting from Google in London, England! So that was super nice to catch up with them and Elise and Dmitry and his brother. We got some House of Nan King and chilled out downtown, awesome times as always.

Movie Review: The King Of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters
Last night I saw a Documentary film called "The King Of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters" - about 2 men in battle for the highest score on the Donkey Kong video game.
It was absolutely fascinating. I didn't think I was going to enjoy this and it was just amazingly well filmed, brilliantly edited and a great "story" - amazing!! Very enjoyable and well crafted for a documentary. Clearly still suffers from similar "one-sidedness" issues that exist in Michael Moore's films, but if you go in knowing that it's not necessarily a 100% true story and some things are pushed and some things are overlooked, it's amazing. Brilliant work, and you gotta love Steve and you just cheer for him all the way through. Nicely done.
Here's a review I found on RottenTomatoes, where it has a 97% rating.
There's more drama in this small documentary than in most serious Oscar contenders. A marriage is on the line, integrity is tested, and friendships falter--all in the name of a video game called DONKEY KONG. THE KING OF KONG may inspire both tears and frustrated sighs, but it's most remarkable for its humor. In the same vein as WORDPLAY and SPELLBOUND, this is a hilarious documentary that enlightens as it entertains. Billy Mitchell is a towering figure in the world of classic video games such as DONKEY KONG and PAC-MAN. He has held records in several games, and his high score in DONKEY KONG (considered the toughest of the old titans) has been unbeaten for decades. But newcomer Steve Wiebe finds purpose in the game after losing his job, and discovers his natural aptitude at the game. The amiable Steve is just as likely to win the "nice guy of the year" award as he is to best Billy's record, and this film casts him as a classic hero that viewers love to root for. While Steve is an audience favorite, Billy is a Machiavellian mastermind that rivals any villain from a narrative film. Even though some might argue that the Super Bowl or NCAA tournament is more important, the competition in THE KING OF KONG rivals the most exciting in sports. Thanks to the film's wonderful characters, it's easy to get involved in the drama. Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction, and the people who populate THE KING OF KONG are as fascinating as any screenwriter's creation.

Stephen Hawking considering move to Waterloo, Ontario, Canada
Pretty cool stuff. I hear this was just a rumor, but wouldn't this be awesome?!?!?!
http://science.slashdot.org/science/08/07/16/1454244.shtml
WATERLOO–Could the world's most famous physicist be headed for Waterloo?
A report out of Britain suggests Stephen Hawking is considering an invitation to come work at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics.
The theoretical physicist already plans a visit to the city next year, following his public criticism of the British government's cuts to research funding.
But he's also being encouraged to move to Ontario by his University of Cambridge colleague Neil Turok, the mathematical physicist who will take over as Perimeter's executive director on Oct. 1. Perimeter confirmed last night that it has made a standing offer to Hawking.
"The door is certainly wide open," said John Matlock, Perimeter's director of external relations and outreach. "It would be absolutely wonderful to have him."
Turok is leaving Cambridge after failing to persuade university authorities, research councils and sponsors to spend $40 million to expand its Centre for Theoretical Cosmology, which he heads, into a Hawking Institute.
By comparison, Waterloo's Perimeter Institute has about $600 million in funding.
Turok wants Hawking to stick around after he comes to Waterloo as a visitor in 2009.
"He plans to visit me in Ontario next year for a month or so, and we would certainly welcome him coming for longer," Turok told Britain's Telegraph newspaper.
Sam Blackburn, Hawking's graduate assistant, told the paper: "I think Prof. Hawking is mulling it over but a move isn't imminent. He would not make plans to permanently move to a place he hasn't visited yet, but he is open to it."
Blackburn warned that Hawking was "obviously a man of few words, so the first we would probably know of it is when he packs his bags."
The addition of Hawking to Perimeter's staff of top physicists would be a major coup for the research institute, founded in 1999 by Mike Lazaridis, founder and co-CEO of Research In Motion, which makes the BlackBerry.
Hawking's name is widely known outside the world of physics and he has often spoken about the importance of letting average people access and understand his research.
Hawking, who has Lou Gehrig's disease, has appeared on television shows from Star Trek to The Simpsons. He's written many books, including the popular science bestseller A Brief History of Time.
"Like Einstein, he has crossed over into popular culture," Matlock said. "He's a celebrity."

Back to New York City, chillin with Joel
We headed back to the airport on Sunday afternoon, had a nice tea and chat with everyone, and then headed on our way back to New York City. This time things went much more smoothly, we were on the correct flights on the way back, and 17 hrs later we got to NYC. :) We dropped off our bags and then met up with my buddy Joel Zimmer at his apartment in Brooklyn! We chilled out there, and then Joel went to work and let us hang out in his apartment to relax and unwind after the long flight. In the evening Norm went to have dinner and stay with our "Uncle" Philip (actually my Mom's step-cousin), and I headed back to the airport for another 5 1/2 hour long flight to San Francisco. So after 23 hrs of flight time, and 9 hrs of jet lag, I was pretty tired. :) But home safely and everything is all good and all my luggage is here and arrived safely. Good times.
It was great to see Joel and where he is living and how well he's set up his apartment, it is great.
Haha, the cabs in NYC have a GPS and Google Maps in them!

2008 Ford Taurus shown
Tested vehicle: 2008 Ford Taurus SEL 4-door
The Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable were re-engineered with a new engine for the 2008 model year. In addition, electronic stability control was introduced as an option beginning with the 2008 models. Frontal ratings are assigned by the Institute based on a test conducted by Ford as part of frontal crash test verification. These cars were known as the Ford Five Hundred and Mercury Montego in the 2005-07 model years.
Tested vehicle: 2006 Ford Five Hundred SEL 4-door with optional front and rear head curtain airbags and optional front seat-mounted torso airbags
The Ford Five Hundred and Mercury Montego were introduced in the 2005 model year. The cars were re-engineered with a new engine for the 2008 model year and renamed the Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable. In addition, electronic stability control was introduced as an option beginning with the 2008 models. The engineering changes do not affect side impact performance.
Side airbags were made standard in all 2007 Montego models and in 2007 Five Hundred models manufactured after September 2006. Beginning with 2008 models, all Taurus and Sable models also have standard side airbags.
Two tests of a 2006 Five Hundred were conducted, one with optional side airbags for the driver and rear passenger, and one without. These vehicles are rated separately, except that the structural ratings for both vehicles are based on both tests.

The history of the destruction of Jerusalem, as connected with the Scripture ...
بواسطة George Wilkins
have occurred to Mount Vesuvius and the plains of Campania, about the predicted time:-"The sudden "earthquakes were so grievous, that the valley glowed "with a fervid heat, and the tops of the mountains "sunk within themselves; the noise of the thunders "under ground, corresponded with the awful eruptions "above. The sea roared, and the heavens resounded; "vast and terrible concussions were heard, as if the "mountains had met and clashed together; stones of enormous size were thrown up to a height above "that of the surrounding hills. An abundance of fire "and smoke issued out, which darkened the air and "obscured the sun, as if there had been an eclipse; so "that night was turned into day, and day into night. Many felt persuaded that the Giants had now waged war among themselves, particularly as their appearances were seen in the smoke, and a sound of trumpets heard. Others imagined the world was "about to be resolved into its former chaos, or consumed "with fire; some abandoned their houses, and ran into "the streets for protection: others, from the streets "and highways, sought shelter in houses: those on ship-board directed their course to the land, while many on land, ran for safety to the sea."

IX. The completion of the last of these prophecies will at present be shewn by little more than a quotation from Bishop Newton, and a further reference made to it, when we come to that part of the history of the siege, with which it appears more pertinently connected.
"There shall arise false Christs and false Prophets, "and shall shew (pretend, or promise to shew) great "signs and wonders; insomuch that if it were possible, they should deceive the very elect."
"Very soon after our Saviour's deccase, appeared Simon Magus, AND BEWITCHED THE PEOPLE OF SAMARIA, GIVING OUT THAT HE WAS SOME GREAT ONE: TO WHOM THEY ALL GAVE HEED, FROM THE LEAST TO THE GREATEST, SAYING, THIS MAN IS THE GREAT POWER OF GOD. He boasted himself likewise among the Jews, as the Son of God: Of the same "stamp and character was Dositheus the Samaritan. who pretended that he was the Christ foretold by "Moses. In the reign of Claudius, about twelve "years after the death of our Saviour, when Cuspius' "Fadus

"Fadus was procurator of Judea, a certain impostor "named Theudas, persuaded a great multitude with "their best effects, to follow him to the river Jordan ; "for he said that he was a Prophet, and promised to "divide the river for their passage; and saying these things he deceived many," saith Josephus.' "But
"Fadus sent a troop of horse against them, who falling unexpectedly upon them, killed many, and made many prisoners; and having taken Theudas himself "alive, they cut off his head, and brought it to Jeru"salem. A few years afterwards, in the reign of
Nero, and under the procuratorship of Felix, these "impostors arose so frequently, that many of them "were apprehended and killed every day.",
That " many false Prophets shall arise and shall "deceive many," appears verified by what has already been said, and seems also to be fulfilled by 2 Cor. xi. 13, and 2 Tim. ii. 17, 18, as well as from Acts, v. 36, 37, where the imposture of Theudas is noticed, and this of Judas added: "After this man rose up Judas of Gali"lee in the days of the taxing, and drew away much "people after him: he also perished; and all, even as many as obeyed him, were dispersed."
"Paul and Barnabas found in the Isle of Paphos, a "certain sorcerer, a Jewish false Prophet, whose name was Barjesus;" (he had also the additional name of Elymas, from the Hebrew, which signifies a magician) a man full of all subtilty and all mischief, whom "the

When Felix was procurator of Judea, he seized and put to death many of those impostors every day. Antiq. 20. viii, 5.
"the apostle struck with blindness, for endeavouring "to turn away the Roman proconsul from the Chris"tian faith."
Josephus, as well as the author of the Acts, mention the Egyptian false Prophet, who coming to Jerusalem, collected a great multitude; and promised to shew them, from the Mount of Olives, that at his command, the walls of the city should fall down; but Felix sent a body of soldiers against them, when being put to flight, most of them perished.
Thus, the exact fulfilment of the various circumstances which were to precede the destruction of Jerusalem, as clearly foretold the approaching judgment of heaven, as the mission of the Baptist could intimate the coming of the Messiah nor was the declaration of John," that one, mightier than he, was about to come after him" more explicit, than the occurrence of these particular circumstances in assuring the nation of the Jews, when they should see all these things happen, they might know that their destruction was near, even at the doors."

A HAVING, in the foregoing Chapter, shewn the awful and literal completion of those prophecies, which re-lated to events preceding the destruction of Jerusalem, in the exact manner and order, and at the time precisely answering to Christ's prediction; let us proceed now, to the fulfilment of this last and greater prophecy, by returning to the history more immediately under consideration,
The war into which Nero had entered, by sending Vespasian and Titus at the head of a strong army against the Jewish Nation; is said by the Romans, to have been occasioned by the refusal of the Jews to give up the town of Cæsarea to the demand of their government: but Josephus has declared, that it was not any unfriendly disposition on the part of the Jews towards the Romans, which gave rise to their subsequent

 A challenge for the coming decades is to succeed in providing relevant and economically viable complementary solutions to fossil fuels and derived chemistry. There are strong hopes for the production potential of biofuels and platform molecules for chemistry derived from microalgae. A multi-partner research program, involving researchers from CEA, CNRS, INRA Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes and Fermentalg, on the optimization of unicellular photosynthetic organisms (microalgae), is conducted within the PCV Laboratory.
When grown in the presence of light (phototrophy), microalgae have the ability to fix and convert CO2 into organic molecules. They can also use mixotrophy, thereby increasing the productivity and quality of biomass in the presence of a carbon source. The industrial exploitation of microalgae without impacting on arable land could thus help completing the available resources for the energy and chemistry markets, while reducing environmental impact.
Several technological obstacles, however, limit the current use of microalgae, both in terms of biomass that can be produced per unit area and in terms of quality of this biomass (content of molecules of interest). It is therefore necessary to optimize the properties of these microorganisms in order to lower the production costs, which are still too high.
INRA, through its Biology and Plant Improvement Department (BAP), is interested in the construction of the qualities of plant products and in the different uses of plant biomass in green chemistry, notably by seeking to improve the metabolism of organisms. The BAP Department, aiming for an increased contribution to these new uses, has recently positioned additional research forces within the Cell & Plant Physiology laboratory. This unit is characterized, in addition to its research of excellence, by a strong commitment to develop applied research programs and partnerships, such as with the Fermentalg company.

Home Resident Return Visas (RRV)
Resident Return Visas (RRV) enables permanent residents to maintain their permanent residence visa status upon expiry of their current permanent residence visa.
To retain eligibility for their permanent residence, permanent residents must continue to satisfy either physical presence or concessional substantial ties requirements. Having achieved permanent residence, professional advice including strategic planning is essential to maintain permanent residence status. Strategic Migration can provide you with an assessment of your options.
Resident Return Visas (RRVs) allow permanent residents of Australia to re-enter as often as they wish during the validity of the visa. RRVs may be issued with five years' or three months' validity.
The purpose of RRVs is to facilitate the re-entry into Australia of non-citizen permanent residents; and to ensure that only those people who have a genuine commitment to residing in Australia, or who are contributing to Australia's well-being, retain the right to return to Australia and remain permanently.
To be eligible for a five year RRV, applicants must have spent two years out of the last five years in Australia as a permanent resident.
There are limited circumstances where an applicant for a RRV who has not spent two in the last five years in Australia, can still apply for a RRV with one year's validity. In these circumstances, the applicant must show the following:
Ÿ they have a business, employment, personal or cultural tie in Australia
Ÿ the link(s) must be substantial, and
Ÿ the link(s) must of benefit to Australia.
Business ties
Business activity implies ongoing, regular activity that is commercial in nature, has an intention to make a profit and has a system of record keeping and management that substantiates the business activity claimed.
Immigration policy refers to an applicant who is involved in the operations of an Australian business (whether in Australia or overseas), or the Australian branch of an international business has business ties with Australia.
All aspects of business activity may constitute business ties to Australia, such as:
business management;
research and development;
joint venture activities;
marketing and sales;
setting up a new business;
establishing suppliers and distribution networks.
In assessing whether a business tie is a substantial tie with Australia, it is relevant to consider:
whether the business employs or will employ Australian citizens or permanent residents other than you, the applicant;
whether it generates or will generate revenue in or for Australia;
the size of the business; or
the proportion of the business involving ties to Australia and the extent of any business ties the applicant has with any other country.
If an applicant has substantial, actively managed investments in Australia they may meet the business tie criterion.
Benefit to Australia may be current or potential, and tangible or intangible.
Evidence of a substantial business tie may also include, but is not limited to:
evidence of registration of the company/business name;
the Australian company number;
partnership / joint venture agreements;
import / export licences;
tax returns or annual reports; and
advertising material.
Employment ties
An applicant who is currently employed in Australia, or who has accepted a formal offer of employment in Australia, has an employment tie with Australia. An applicant employed outside Australia may also be considered to have employment ties with Australia if employed by an organisation such as:
an Australian owned organisation (eg a company, university, college, religious organisation, etc);
a Commonwealth, State, Territory or Local Government organisation (including a Government Business Enterprise or a Statutory Authority/agency);
an international organisation to which the International Organisations (Privileges and Immunities) Act 1963 applies within the meaning of subsection 3(1) of that Act;
the Australian office of a multinational company or a foreign owned company; or
an Australian community/charity organisation or the Australian office of an international charity organisation.
A relevant consideration is whether the applicant is employed in a permanent, temporary or contract capacity, and an agreed wage or salary is paid to undertake the work. Casual work would not normally be considered to be a substantial tie.
An applicant's substantial employment tie may be of benefit to Australia if the applicant:
is employed, or has accepted employment, in Australia;
is employed outside Australia by an organisation; or
is employed outside Australia by an organisation involved in activities such as:
generation of income for Australia;
promotion of Australian exports;
enhancing Australia's international reputation/goodwill;
using Australian technology offshore; or
introducing new technology into Australia; and
evidence to support a claim of employment ties may include:
recent official documents such as group certificates;
letters from the employer;
employee identification/security passes.
Personal ties
Examples of personal ties include but are not limited to:
long term residence in Australia prior to the last five years, particularly, if the applicant has spent their formative years in Australia, or studied or been employed in Australia;
ownership of a home and/or other personal assets in Australia;
the applicant has close family members, or close friends in the nature of family, who are permanent residents or citizens and who reside in Australia; or
the applicant is travelling or residing overseas with an Australian citizen spouse and/or children who may suffer hardship if the applicant was not granted an RRV.
Relevant considerations in assessing whether a personal tie is substantial are whether an applicant regards Australia as home and whether the applicant has stronger ties of a similar nature in any other country. It is recognised that a person may have substantial ties to more than one country.
Therefore, the applicant's physical and emotional ties with Australia should be weighed against ties in any other country (for example; place of residence, house, schooling of children, residence of spouse, citizenship of immediate family, family and friend ties and general identification).
The applicant's personal, physical and emotional ties to Australia should outweigh the applicant's ties to any other country.
Substantial personal ties may be of benefit to Australia in the sense that the applicant is a participating member of the Australian community and economy, or that they are likely to become a participating member of the Australian community and economy in the future, and that their ties enrich the lives of individual Australian residents and citizens.
It is also relevant to consider the potential hardship to the applicant's Australian citizen family unit members (who can travel to and from Australia at will), or to any other Australian citizens with whom the applicant has close ties, if the applicant is not granted a RRV.
Cultural ties
An applicant involved in any of a range of intellectual, artistic, sporting or religious pursuits which are not strictly of a business or employment nature may also have a cultural tie with Australia.
A substantial cultural tie may exist if the applicant's cultural pursuits are conducted at a professional level or with a degree of public recognition. Some examples of people who may have substantial cultural ties include, but are not limited to:
a person who is accepted as a member of an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander community who is involved in traditional activities;
people involved in the Arts at a professional level (eg an actor in a theatre company, an opera singer in an Australian company, a musician in a band or orchestra or a published author);
members of religious communities in Australia; or
sports people who are members of Australian sporting associations.
Evidence to support a claim of cultural ties may include:
publications;
contracts;
evidence of membership of cultural associations;
newspaper articles;
programs from concerts, etc.
In our professional experience, concessional RRV applications lodged in Australia whilst an applicant is in Australia seem to have better prospects of success than for those lodged outside Australia. Processing time, with lodgment in Australia, for a concessional RRV application may be up to 10 working days. However, that does not mean an application lodged offshore cannot readily succeed if it is well prepared and managed.

Broiler farm litter mixed with wood shavings and poultry droppings make an excellent fuel for generating power, contends Fibrogen Ltd, a UK-based developer, builder and operator of power stations (Technology Partnership Initiative. issue 7).
Fibrogen buys poultry litter and transports the same to covered storage pits in the power station. Loaded through conveyor belts into the furnace, the fuel is burnt at temperatures greater than 850'C. The furnace heats up water in the boiler to produce steam which drives a conventional steam turbine linked to a generator with an output of 15.1 MW. The net output is supplied to a 33 kilovolt power line which connects the power station to the local electricity sub-station.

Pak-Iranian couple fights for son's custody in SHC
By: News Desk Published: 03:35 PM, 11 Jan, 2021
A battle between estranged parents of Pakistani and Iranian origins for the custody of their six-year-old child has put the latter in deep trouble, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.
And when the Sindh High Court (SHC) took up the petition filed by the man's Iranian wife for a hearing on Monday, Justice Saleem Mehsar refused to listen to the parties further as their lawyers started argumentation in front of him.
According to the petition, Pakistan's Noman Khan and his Iranian wife Azadi Sardari had tied the knot in UAE seven years back.
Zia Awan, counsel for Sardari, said his client had moved to Karachi along with her husband in 2019. He told the court that since she was not willing to stay in Pakistan, her child be given to her.
Counsel for Noman, however, argued that his client's boy could not be sent abroad.
Noman said he was ready to submit the child's passport to the court.
When the judge remarked that if the child's mother wanted to see her child, the court could give orders for that, her counsel replied that Sardari only wanted the custody of her child. "She wants to take her to Iran," he told the court.
However, later, irked by constant argumentation between the two lawyers, the judge refused to hear the petition further and left the room.
Zia Awan, counsel for Iranian woman Azadi Sardari, said he would file a petition in the court for the early hearing of the petition regarding the child's custody.

Regardless, the Cubs will have to face a vaunted pitching rotation no matter who they play in the NLCS.
However, despite the dominance both the Mets' and Dodgers' pitching staffs have demonstrated this year, the Cubs' bats have proven to be successful against each of them in the past.
If you had your choice of dominant pitchers to choose from, who would you want to see the Cubbies play in the NLCS?


If you're like me, you watch out for the newest or the most trending multi level marketing companies out there.
It's likely that you found this USBORNE business opportunity review because you saw it listed on the top trending and top performing mlms list like I did.
Generally, when doing a mlm review for this blog, I spend a lot of time researching and trying to understand the compensation plan in order to report back to my readers.
The USBORNE opportunity and the Usborne Compensation Plan was very simple in comparison to all the others that I have reviewed. There might have been one or two that were also simple, however, the Usborne company comp plan seems to be easy to explain too.
Before we get too far into this Usborne review, I want you to see what my friend Brad has to say about mlm opportunities like this.
If you know this is what you want for yourself, then stop wasting your time reading all these mlm reviews because this is the way to do it.
All that being said, after you join Job Killing, you can literally end up joining any mlm company out there (yes even join Usborne books & more) and make a killing because you will have the skills in order to go beyond your family, friends and facebook and get organic traffic to your opportunity.
It's still worth looking at the Usborne book opportunity but believe me, if you join before you get the right training in this type of world, you'll be dragging your feet back to this Job Killing opportunity or always wondering how it could have helped you if you stopped and joined it today.
Make sure so see my Job Killing Testimonials here. We get them nearly every day now and it's awesome!
The Usborne Business Opportunity: What is UsBorne?
Usborne Books is a British publishing company (surprising huh?) that is actually very aged. It was founded in 1973 by a guy whose name is Peter Usborne.
This is only interesting to me because I thought the name of the company was actually (US Borne) as in a twist on the US and borne to make it Usborne. Clearly I was wrong.
Usborne is loved by home schooling parents because if offers non-fiction and fiction books for kids from the very tiny and young up to the teenagers and older.
In 1978 Usborne books came to the united states and about a decade later, the Usborne business opportunity was made. Usborne is now Usborne Books & More and are available at a global level in over 100 languages. That's pretty impressive in this digital age.
To give you an idea of what the Usborne books are like, I found the rather elongated and laborious video that goes through one the larger of the Usborne Consultant starter kits.
So now that you know what you will be selling, I would say if you know a network of homeschooled kids (becoming more and more popular) you might have a good shot at making money from the Usborne business opportunity.
When you sell directly to School and Libraries, you make 20-25%.
You are a Usborne Book representative. It's that simple. Sales will be your game.
To make things more profitable, you also earn 4% in sales bonus when you sell over $1000 in retail sales in a month.
The way the compensation plan for Usborne is written it makes you think you make 35% more in commission. All you do is make 34% more of what you would have earned which is 8.5% more on commissions.
What do you earn on the Usborne compensation plan at the different levels?
Along with earning from your downline, as with most mlm companies, you are offered bonuses for selling fast and can get free books along with travel rewards.
In order to get started with Usborne books you have to join the Usborne opportunity.
This is done by buying a Usborne consultant start kit.
Should I join Usborne books?
If you really love going to home parties and being a book salesmen..then sure….because that's what it is.
In addition to selling books, in order to make money, you are going to have to find people to put in yoru downline who also want to become book sales persons.
The nice thing about the Usborne compensation plan is that you don't' have to meet any sales quotas each month.
The Usborne website explicitly states that you can not STAY at home and make money with Usborne. You have to go out and sell. …as with any mlm company. It's just like Avon and Limu. …you have to get out there and share your product.
Rather than struggle to find people to join you as a sales person so that you can make money, how would you feel about offering a solid product that is needed that will never get old?
That's what Job Killing does. It's like going to college…but with job training and actual skills and steps of how to make money with your new skill set. On top of that, there is 100% 24/7 support 365 days of the year. I have yet to get stuck on something and not get support by the fabulous people in the Job Killing program.
Brad and Dan have a great millionaire mentoring mentality and they are on everyday to help you succeed. I have a Master's degree and this course makes me wonder why I ever went to college.
If you know you want to learn how to make money online so you can set your own hours…then it's simple.

Yes, the "residual" part of the compensation plan in Usborne and other mlms comes with your downline development.

TV personality, Megan McKenna, has today (May 14) confirmed that she will be joining Tom Jones as a guest for number of his concerts this year, including the Cumbrian one.
The singer, songwriter first came to prominence as a television personality. Yet it wasn't until 2017s 'There's Something About Megan' that explored the person behind the public persona.
The show saw Megan travel to Nashville to experience the country music scene that she'd always loved and introduced her talents as a musician for the first time.
The show's success resulted in her debut country album 'Story Of Me' being released in 2018, with two singles hitting number one in on iTunes, knocking Taylor Swift and Pink off the top of the chart.
The following year, Megan won 'The X Factor: Celebrity', her performances firing her into the iTunes Top five during every week of the competition.
Megan McKenna will be joining Tom Jones at his Bitts Park concert in Carlisle on Sunday, July 25, 2021.
Tickets for all shows remain on sale and can be purchased from LHGtickets.com, Ticketmaster.co.uk and eventim.co.uk as well as on tomjones.com. Any ticket enquiries should be directed to your point of purchase.
Megan McKenna said "I'm so happy to confirm that I will be appearing as a guest on Sir Tom Jones' summer shows. He's a true legend and it will be a privilege to share the same stage. With the year we have all had, I can't begin to tell you how excited I am to get back on stage and perform in front of a live audience."
Megan began 2020 with writing trips to LA and Nashville, and then spent the rest of the year making the most of a bad situation, by dedicating much of her time during the pandemic to song writing with huge hitmakers including Toby Gad (John Legend, Beyonce), Mozella (Miley Cyrus, Ellie Goulding, Kelly Clarkson) & Amy Wadge (Ed Sheeran, Camilla Cabello). The result is a collection of material which will elevate her career to new heights as 2021 unfolds.
Liz Doogan-Hobbs MBE, CEO of LHG Events, promoter of the summer concerts said, "We are delighted to confirm that Megan McKenna will be joining Sir Tom Jones on our shows this summer. Megan is an incredible talent, with such a distinctive voice and a huge future ahead of her. We're looking forward to some memorable evenings across the country".
Tickets to see Tom Jones perform with Megan McKenna this summer are on sale now priced from £39.50 + booking fee from the following sites:

Knee pain can occur during activities of daily living such as walking up and down stairs, kneeling, squatting and sitting with a bend knee for an extended period of time.
Some people who experience Runner's Knee have a misaligned kneecap.
If these individuals conduct vigorous activities the cartilage in the kneecap can suffer wear and tear.
This can lead to damaged cartilage and result in irritation and pain of the joint lining.
Lumin OrthoCARE specialists will conduct a thorough examination of your knee to determine the exact cause of pain.
The examination may include standing, walking, jumping, squatting, sitting and lying down to assess your knee's strength, mobility and alignment.
It is important for your physician to know about any activities that aggravate your knee pain.
The physician will also evaluate your knee's flexibility, range of motion, strength and signs of tenderness.
A series of diagnostic imaging studies may be ordered to help the physician determine the exact cause of the pain and the extent of any damage to the knee joint and surrounding tissues.
In rare occasions, your physician may recommend surgery. Minimally-invasive arthroscopic surgery removes pieces of damaged kneecap cartilage. Realignment surgery repositions the kneecap.

Made this one in 2001. It was just after the attacks on the U.S. and a very strange time to be traveling. The tickets had already been purchased and I'd dreamed of this India trip for years. I was going an there was no way something as insignificant like global terrorism was going to keep me from it. India was wild. Not what I expected at all, and it took awhile to adapt. In backpacker circles, they had always said that for real adventure, India was Mecca. Travel there, and you can travel anywhere.
I could go on, and will add more later, but I'll just focus on this image for the moment. It's been said that dawn on the Ganges river is the most mystical time and place you can experience on this planet. The Ganges river itself is considered a god itself for Hindus and in this city, Varanasi (also known as Banares) it's considered the most sacred and revered by it's deity name "Ganga". It's even believed that if you can manage to die here, you can end the life/birth cycle and head straight to Nirvana/Heaven.
Because of the terrorist attacks on the U.S. and the following retaliation from the U.S. on Afghanistan, it was a rough time to be traveling internationally for sure.
One thing I wanted to make sure I accomplished in this oldest living city on the planet, was a rowboat ride on the Ganges at sunrise. It was rough dealing with all the canoe rowers, but finally found one that looked like it might not sink, and the rower's eyes looked very serene. A deal was made and we were off. He wanted to know where I wanted to go, and I told him I didn't care. I just wanted to be right in the middle of Ganga as the sun rose. Before I knew it, we were rowing by the ghats at top speed. Ghats are areas off to the edge of the Ganges where Hindu pilgrims meditate, give massages, do yoga, bath, celebrate life, and burn the dead.
The boat was moving so swiftly that I barely had time to turn on the camera. Before I knew it, we were about to pass out of range and I wasn't going tot get the shot. I aimed, shot, and put the camera away. Later, I realized the one blind image made actually worked out. And this is it.
When I got back to the U.S., I learned that George Harrison of the Beatles had passed away. The article said that just before his passing, George had made one last trip to Varanasi to tour Hindu temples. Most that view this image either are sure the pilgrim is either female or male. For me, the pilgrim is male and most likely, Mr. Harrison himself.

Among the powerful takeaways from the various worldwide Women's Marches this past January, was further proof that the future is undoubtedly female. Young girls took to the streets with their families and friends, holding signs imparting messages about why they won't let the current administration destroy the world in which they will ultimately become adults. From protests against regulating women's bodies, to how (for some) their own rights as citizens are in limbo, to why the environment will be negatively affected by the time they're adults, it was clear from the picketing that there are no age limitations for demanding change and planning ahead for a better future. The girls — scientists, athletes, artists, inventors and more — in our 21 Under 21 project are also evidence that age is but a number and the sooner you run with an idea (no matter how small, or how big the pushback you might get), the sooner you can create something amazing. Working at Teen Vogue, it's commonplace to encounter incredible young people doing incredible things. And, when I became a judge on a panel for the seniors at The Young Women's Leadership School in Harlem, I was blown away yet again by girls who will likely soon have a hand in running the world.
The seniors at The Young Women's Leadership School (TYWLS), an all-girls public secondary school, were tasked with coming up with their own beauty business models — covering everything from their company's name, to their branding, to their plans for social outreach, and most importantly, to their philanthropic mission. TYWLS, which has a 100% graduation rate in four years with 92% of the students heading to college, has had a longstanding relationship with the beauty mainstay Estée Lauder, who hosts events there each year. "These events inspire the girls career-wise. Last year, we did a legal day for the 11th graders. Everyone got to see that there are lawyers even in cool cosmetics companies," explains Phebe Farrow Port, SVP, Global Management Strategies, The Estée Lauder Companies.
After the girls listened to a presentation about the far-reaching proceeds of the MAC Viva Glam collections, by Andrea Flynn, Vice President of the MAC Aids Fund at MAC Cosmetics, they were inspired and ready to create their own mock brands…and the results prove that the future for beauty is very bright.
Unmatched: A makeup line aimed at creating foundations for every skin tone, ranging in price from $7-$15 at freestanding stores. The brand focus is to promote diversity and inclusivity and to fight back against colorism. Its philanthropic mission is to give back to homeless youth.
Self Core: A skincare-based line featuring lotions, cleansers, and masks, geared to the transgender community, that helps boost self-esteem. Its initiative was a proposed concert benefitting the LGBTQ community, and their spokesperson team consisted of Young Thug and Jaden Smith.
Dream On: An overnight skincare brand that aims to refresh and replenish skin while you sleep, while also helping young people achieve their dream of attending college. This business model involves a YouTube component. Students can submit video applications, allowing people to vote on who should obtain one of a designated number of scholarships.
Na-Tu-Rall: A multi-tasking skin and haircare hero that anyone can use, with proceeds going to save the zoos and help animals. The all-purpose, cruelty-free product will also include an incentive-based model — people who volunteer at local zoos will get brand discounts. The hashtag would be #KeepingItCore.
Jus Care: A gender-neutral skincare brand for everyone. The brand's spokespeople would be Laverne Cox, Rupaul, and Lady J from America's Next Top Model. Their slogan would be: "I care, you care, Jus Care." Money from the brand's sales would go to helping the transgender community buy hormones and also to Doctor's Without Borders. The campaigns would spotlight Syrian refuges and money would go back to hospitals in Syria.
