Dewey Academy of the Fine Arts is located in the New City community area, ranked number seven out of 77 on a socioeconomic hardship index. The poverty rate in New City is 30%, and per capita income is less than $13,000 a year, less than half the Chicago average.
In fact, Dewey's test scores have already been on an upward trend over the past three years, coinciding with the arrival of their new principal at the beginning of the 2009-2010 school year. And the University of Chicago Consortium on Chicago School Research rates it "moderately organized" for improvement based on the 5 Essentials. In the 2011-2012 school year, the percent of Dewey students' meeting growth goals on standardized test results was firmly above their network average in reading and math.
According to Matthew Johnson, chair of the Local School Council and alum, Dewey has been the cornerstone of its community for well over a hundred years. Although CPS classifies Dewey as underutilized, Dewey has six classrooms in the Child Parent Center, which supports students ages 3-9, and five special education classrooms. They use three classrooms for after school activities, and the school has made an effort to keep class sizes small. They have before, after, and Saturday school programs.
Dewey has been part of the Communities in Schools Chicago that provides services to families and the surrounding neighborhood for almost twelve years. Dewey is a site for the Children's Research Triangle Trauma Treatment Program, which "fill the tremendous gap in necessary trauma-focused mental health services at […] inner-city schools." Dewey also has a partnership with Chicago Cares. Countless parent programs are offered through both the elementary building and Dewey's Child Parent Center, including G.E.D. classes, ECE Literacy classes, Positive Behavior classes, etc.
As a Fine and Performing Arts Magnet Cluster School, Dewey is dedicated to providing a rich arts education for all students. Funds are designated to support two experienced, full-time teachers in both music and visual arts. The Magnet Cluster Lead Teacher serves as an arts liaison, bringing additional arts opportunities and resources to the school. They have developed committed long term partnerships with Barrel of Monkeys (an arts education theater ensemble), May I Have This Dance, Changing Worlds, Adobe Youth Voices, the Intonation Music Workshop, the Smart Museum of Art, and the Loyola University Museum of Art (culminating in an exhibit of student artwork). Dewey teachers have contributed an interactive lesson plan to the University of Chicago Smart Museum of Art online k-12 site.
Although CPS claims that schools where they are implementing a so-called turnaround require "building upgrades that aid in the program's goal of creating an entirely new culture of success at the school," including IT upgrades, Dewey has made a concerted effort to invest in its IT resources. It is in the process of becoming SMART certified. Full-day PreK and kindergarten classrooms have SMARTboards with a plan to add more each year. Half-day PreK has a SMART table. Classrooms from PreK-8th have ipods or ipads and a new computer lab.
Dewey teachers have raised thousands of dollars for projects in their classrooms with Donors Choose since 2007, most of that in the last two years.
Dewey is the first of four schools I have taught in that I have felt completely at home. It has been the most supportive environment I have ever taught in. Students are nurtured and cared for. We expect excellence from them every day.
Not only does Dewey Child Parent Center have a talented teaching team. They are led and supported by an incredible administration team. Jessica Smith, the Head Teacher, has been at Dewey for over 18 years. She is dedicated to making Dewey a calm, nurturing place to learn. She supports teachers in every way from curricular planning, discipline support, or simply management of materials to make sure students have everything they need. She also enrolls new students and all the work to follows. It's crazy to think Headstart and Preschool for All teachers do all the administrative work. I love that at Dewey, PreK teachers' main job is to teach!
The most difficult job I know belongs to our Parent Resource Teacher, Willie Mae Rodgers, who supports teachers and parents to work together to give parents and students skills needed for learning, not to mention, the Child Parent Center Clerk, Part time Community School Rep who contacts and supports parents and teachers, as well as retired Dewey teachers who come to volunteer at the Center on a regular basis.
There are so many wonderful parts to my experience at Dewey this year, I can not even list them all: a Halloween carnival run by parents, monthly field trips organized by Mrs. Rodgers, and our Science Partnership with PNC Grow up Great Program. We have a school environment that addresses families' needs in the area, serves to nurture and foster lifelong learning. It would be sad to lose our community that we have built up.

Cardiff City defender seals short-term loan deal with Scottish Premiership side Livingston
The Bluebirds man has struggled for game-time in the Welsh capital and has returned to the club at which he enjoyed a similar stint last year

Cardiff City centre-back Ciaron Brown has sealed a short-term loan deal with Scottish side Livingston.
The Bluebirds defender had impressed previous Bluebirds boss Neil Warnock and was afforded an opportunity in the Carabao Cup defeat by Luton Town back in August.
The player's stock rose further when he was called up to the Northern Ireland Under-21s squad, only for senior boss Michael O'Neill to elevate him up to the senior side, after he impressed in training, and handed him his first full international cap against Luxembourg.
The 21-year-old improved a lot while on loan at Livingston last season and is thought to be one of the up-and-coming stars of this Cardiff City youth team.
Having started on the bench, he made his debut against Kilmarnock last February and strung together five successive appearances before his loan spell ended and it is understood the club were keen to have him back again.
However eyebrows were raised when Brown was omitted from the squad for City's FA Cup clash with Carlisle last week, especially given that Cameron Coxe was handed a start at right-back, but that now appears to make sense.
The Scottish Premiership side are currently on a winter camp out in Spain and are playing against Ajax's reserves today. Livingston named three trialists in the squad, one of whom was Bluebirds centre-back Brown.
It is also understood that Livingston boss Gary Holt wanted Brown to prove his fitness on the camp, with a fixture against Anderlecht also lined up for Saturday, but after the Ajax game the club finally announced the deal.
"Livingston FC is delighted to announce the loan signing of Ciaron Brown from Cardiff City until the end of this season," the club said.
"Ciaron will be a familiar face to most as he had a previous loan spell at the Tony Macaroni Arena during the 2018-19 season.
"We are all thrilled to have Ciaron back at Livingston for the second half of the campaign."

While at Livingston last time round, Brown was often deployed at left back and adding another string to his bow certainly helped City in terms of versatility.
Neil Harris has spoken about streamlining his squad this month and, following the end of Armand Traore's contract , Brown is now the second player out the door this month.
The deal appears the best move for all parties, with Brown likely to get a good run in the team up in Scotland and Harris happy to have streamlined his Bluebirds squad.

Losing lustre?
Golden boy, Liu Xiang discovers what it means to be an 'damaged brand'
Feb 13, 2009 (WiC 2)
Ouch: Liu Xiang's injury has had commercial repercussions
Want to know what keeps a 110-metre hurdler awake at night? Fear of the stutter-step. This shortening of an athlete's stride-length – immediately before a hurdle – results in a crucial loss of momentum.
China's 2004 Olympic 110-metre gold medallist Liu Xiang has been through a stutter-step of his own since last year's Beijing Olympics, albeit of a more commercial variety.
In a recent listing of sport stars who endorse brands – compiled late last year by Beijing Key Road Sports Consulting Company – Liu didn't even make the top 10. His withdrawal through injury from the early heats at last year's Olympiad has contributed to a decline in his sponsorship revenues too.
This is harsh. Surely there was no athlete under a greater weight of national expectation than Liu in the run up to the Beijing Olympics. It was hard not to feel sympathy as he limped forlornly from the track.
The financially-induced stress must have been high too. Zhang Wuchang, a local economist with a well-read blog, had forecast that the difference between Liu winning or losing could have reached Rmb1 billion ($146 million) in future earnings. Of course, Zhang had not calculated the impact of Liu actually dropping out.
Pre-August 2008, Liu's star was in the commercial ascendant. The China Business Journal reported last week that the hurdler had endorsements with 14 brands in 2008, including well-known names like Coca Cola, Nike, VISA, Lenovo and Cadillac. These were lucrative arrangements; fees on the Coke deal grew from Rmb350,000 in 2003 to Rmb14 million by early 2008. Liu shares endorsement proceeds with the Chinese Athletics Association.
Following his Olympic withdrawal, Liu's sponsors have mulled their options. A senior executive at Lenovo recently said it would not renew with Liu. China Business News also quoted sources at Amway Nutrilite saying it would not renew either. To be fair, the worsening economic conditions would surely have prompted a slide in endorsements for even the most triumphant of athletes, let alone one who has been sidelined by injury.
In fact some resourceful marketers are trying a new angle: Liu's struggle to overcome recent setbacks. In a new Coke commercial launched over Lunar New Year, a subdued Liu is given advice by his (real life) father on the metaphorical hurdles that we must all negotiate in life. Shen Boping at Leo Burnett in Shanghai says the message is an optimistic one that seeks to raise the spirits of those who may have lost heart. An appropriate message, perhaps, for a wider audience in 2009.
This approach diverges from more traditional sports marketing spend in China, which has focused more on "buying the winners", says Zhang Qing at Beijing Key Road Sports Consulting. In this context companies have been less concerned about long-term brand building, and more about capitalising on the brief euphoria of sporting success.
For Liu, circumstances are requiring a more creative approach. His main focus is on getting fit and returning to winning ways. If he does, it could well be time for advertisers to show him the money once again, as American footballer Rod Tidwell (from the American hit film Jerry Maguire) would no doubt concur.

On Friday, President Trump once again brought up his threats to pull the United States out of the Iran Nuclear Deal if the deal was not amended. While he did condemn the deal, he did not undo the agreement and instead turned it over to Congress to make a decision.
The Iran nuclear deal was a key foreign policy achievement by the Obama Administration, and serves to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear bombs. Under the deal, Iran shut down a uranium plant and has agreed to convert it to a scientific research station instead. Iran also stopped producing weapons-grade plutonium, is transporting the reactor's fuel out of the country, and will not build any heavy water reactors for 15 years. In order to ensure that Iran does not violate the agreement, inspections are to be much more intrusive, and Iran agreed to provide more information on their nuclear programs.
Trump has spoken out about the deal, saying "the United States had been taken advantage of in negotiations the Obama administration conducted." He has also decertified the policy because he claims Iran violated the deal. To maintain the agreement, the President must certify it every 90 days, and he has certified it twice already.
This deal is one of many the President has criticized or tried to pull out of, including the Paris climate accords and the Trans-Pacific Partnership. The administration is urging other nations to fix what Trump deemed "fatal flaws". Despite Trump's vocal criticisms of the agreement, other nations say they will not change the it, as it is working well for them. Britain, Germany, and France have told the United States to support the deal.

The music we sing is unaccompanied three- and four-part vocal harmony in a rustic style dating back to eighteenth- and nineteenth-century America, still a living tradition in the South, and recently taken up all over the English-speaking world and beyond. The songs are found in "tunebooks" such as the Sacred Harp (1844), the Southern Harmony (1835) and the Christian Harmony (1866/67), and modern collections such as the Shenandoah Harmony (2013); new shapenote songs are constantly being composed, even in Scotland. Click here to get an idea what shapenote singing sounds like.
The words are usually (though not always) religious in nature, but people of all faiths and none sing this music, not as an act of worship but for sheer enjoyment. Religion and politics are not discussed at singings, and different singers will appreciate the words in their own way. It's not a performance but a communal participative event, and a "good" voice is not necessary. At workshops we teach by ear, and while music-reading ability is an advantage, it's not essential.
In the last five years there has been a growing interest around Europe in this uniquely American style, with groups springing up in Ireland, Poland, Germany and elsewhere, boosting the more long-established shapenote scene in England. Here in Scotland we are the northernmost outpost of regular shapenote singings in the UK, and we're keen to foster interest further north (or anywhere really). If you want to get some singing going in your area, we may be able to help, for example by arranging a workshop. Contact us on ShapenoteScotland@gmail.com.

FINLAND: Job losses amid Fazer overhaul
Finland-based bakery and candy group Fazer is to merge key units and revamp its international operations in a series of moves that will lead to the loss of 250 jobs.
The business, which has operations across Scandinavia, the Baltic states and Russia, plans to combine its bakery and confectionery arms and create a separate unit for its foodservice subsidiary.
Fazer said its growth in recent years had led to the group consisting of four divisions. Fazer Amica will continue as its foodservice arm, while the three other units – Fazer Bakeries, Fazer Confectionery and Fazer Russia – will be combined into a single bakery and confectionery business.
President Karsten Slotte said that continued development of the business needed "a new operative model".
"We must tear down the framework of the old organisation in order to build a functioning agile company for tomorrow," Slotte said.
Fazer is looking to generate EUR25m (US$35.5m) in cost savings by the middle of 2011.

Biocompatible agar/xanthan gum composite films: Thermal, mechanical, UV, and water barrier properties
» Autor: Balasubramanian Rukmanikrishnan, Satish Kumar Rajasekharan, Jintae Lee, Jaewoong Lee
» Referencia: doi:10.1002/pat.4706
Binary composite films were prepared from agar (A) and xanthan gum (X) with different weight percentages. The composite films were transparent, lightweight, eco?friendly, and biodegradable. The structure and morphology of the prepared agar and AX composite films were confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT?IR), X?ray powder diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) technique. The glass transition temperature (Tg) and melting temperature (Tm) of the AX composite films was slightly improved, when compared with the neat agar. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) analysis showed a considerable increment in the char yield and an improved thermal stability. The tensile strength was in the range of 25 to 40 MPa, and elongation at break was in the range of 28.9 to 39.4%. Though, the water vapor permeability (WVP) value reduced in the composite films the difference was not significant. From the mechanical studies, we can deduce that agar and xanthan gum are compatible and miscible with one another leading to prospects of their composite films being considered for different biomedical and packaging applications.

Facebook's ban on extremist figures is not enough to stop fake news, we need more
By Josep Valor and Carmen Arroyo Nieto
Last week, Facebook and Instagram finally banned some of the leading far-right extremists in the United States, many of whom have contributed forcefully to the spread of fake news online. Among them were Alex Jones, the founder of Infowars, Milo Yiannopoulos, former editor of Breitbart News, and Paul Joseph Watson, conspiracy theorist. Infowars, an American fake news website, will suffer the strictest ban. Facebook will remove all its content, as well as Facebook groups and events set up to discuss Infowars content. Although Facebook may feel as if it has cut the head of the snake, many thought this step was long overdue. Still, the bans will not stop or decrease the spread of fake news on social media.
The problem with misinformation on social media is that most Americans get their news through their accounts. According to a study by Pew Research Center, 68% of American adults occasionally got news on social media in 2018. Facebook is the most popular platform to get news, followed by YouTube. However, as time goes by, more of them are becoming skeptical of what they read—57% of them believe the news they see on their social accounts is inaccurate—and they should.
In social media algorithms prioritize engagement and not authority, the number of likes is more important than the author. The post with most shares and retweets reaches the widest audience. That's it. The same system that has helped create influencers is perfect for the birth and spread of fake news. Facebook's ban towards these extremist figures will not stop that spread, as there are thousands of users engaging with false content online. Those accounts belong to two different types of users: humans or bots.
On the one hand, bots are automated social media accounts, mostly present on Twitter. In 2017, a study estimated that 8.5% of all Twitter accounts (around 23 million,) 5.5% of all Facebook accounts (140 million) and 8.2% of all Instagram accounts (27 million) were bots. However, the core of their success did not lie within the number of accounts but how they spread the content. Bots work by making posts popular enough that real users believe it and share it. That fake news brings new ideas and content into the discussion (as it is false, it is also novel), which makes human users more willing to share it. An MIT study on the likeliness of a tweet being retweeted found that what makes a human retweet something to his or her followers is not the fact that he or she knows it is fake, it is its novelty or its degree of "outrageousness."
On the other hand, there are people behind fake news, such as Alex Jones through Infowars, or other sites like America's Last Line of Defense. This last page, as reported by The Washington Post, is a liberal satire site which posts fake news for conservatives. Even though the page explicitly states in its header that all its content is made up, people share them and after a few shares the trust in them "appears," making these news items viral. As the founders of the website stated, the more extreme the content, the more it gets shared.
The consequences are inevitable: dozens of social media users have harassed survivors and parents of the Sandy Hook shooting claiming it did not happen, hundreds of parents have decided not to vaccinate their children believing vaccines lead to autism, and, of course, fake news led many voters to hate Hillary Clinton in 2016 ("crooked Hillary.") There are thousands of people that believe that the world is flat.
As Facebook and Instagram ban extremist figures, we are left to wonder whether that is enough and what responsibility do these platforms have. Under US law, not much. Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996 states that internet platforms are not publishers nor are legally responsible for the content distributed in their sights. Although some people are asking for a stricter social media regulation, not much has been done yet. Last Friday, May 3rd, at the World Press Freedom Day event held at the United Nations, speakers were asked whether platforms should be considered publishers. The New York University data journalism professor Meredith Broussard had a straight answer: "Should they be regulated? Yes. Are they publishers? Yes." Other speakers were not so sure. But if Facebook or Twitter cannot be held liable, what can we do to stop fake news?
For now, there are multiple and scattered solutions. Newsrooms have doubled their efforts to discredit online rumors, such as the anti-vax movement. Facebook has tried to delete fake news content and educate journalists on how to use social media, and several nonprofits started media literacy projects. However, in an environment that is hostile towards media, the phrase 'fake news' seems to apply to anything contrary to one's interests, not just actual misinformation, and reporters find it harder to state their authority. Users tend to read what they already agree with, and discredit what they don't believe true.
What is clear is that Facebook's recent ban will not have a substantial effect on the more significant misinformation problem. Infowars will find new platforms and new users to convey its message. Jones will survive and move towards new mediums. Banning one single extremist figure is not enough. We need harder regulations on platforms and broader media literacy initiatives.

Gaming Virtual Bodies: Video Games in South Asian Cities
Irene Chien, Assistant Professor of Media and Communication at Muhlenberg College, speaks about moving through South Asian cities both within video games and while playing and producing such experiences. She will talk about her field research exploring the city of Dhaka, Bangladesh, which is the backdrop for some video games. Because of its low-cost technical labor pool, the city is also a production site for games set in other cities and played around the world.
Professor Chien writes about the politics of race and gender in digital media, with a focus on videogames. She is writing a book manuscript based on her dissertation titled Programmed Moves: Race and Embodiment in Fighting and Dancing Videogames. Programmed Moves examines the intertwined history and transnational circulation of two major videogame genres, martial arts fighting games and rhythm dancing games. Dr. Chien argues that fighting and dancing games point to a key dynamic in videogame play: the programming of the body into the algorithmic logic of the game, a logic that increasingly organizes the informatic structure of everyday work and leisure in a globally interconnected information economy. She explores how games make bodily habituation to new forms of digital technology both intelligible and pleasurable by investing players in familiar racial, sexual, and national identifications. Dr. Chien has published on gaming in Film Quarterly and has contributed essays to Joystick Soldiers: The Politics of Play in Military Video Games and the forthcoming Identity Matters: Race, Gender, and Sexuality in Video Game Studies.

Titus- Le martyre des Juifs est le nom d'un roman de Max Gallo publié en 2006 chez Fayard.

Il est le troisième opus de la suite romanesque Les romains. Comme dans le second tome, le chevalier romain Sérenus est le narrateur de l'histoire.

L'histoire se passe durant la Première guerre judéo-romaine qui causa la destruction du Second Temple de Jérusalem.

Synopsie
Après la mort de Néron, qui fit entrer Rome dans l'année des trois empereurs, Séranus se rallie à Vespasien et à son fils Titus.

Vespasien est appelé à réprimer la révolte juive menés par les zélotes, dévots et sicaires. Mais les événements politiques à Rome le conduisent à se rendre dans la capitale. C'est son fils, Titus, en tant que légat qui va réprimer la révolte. L'auteur insiste sur la cruauté de la répression, mais aussi sur la cruauté des zélotes, envers leurs coreligionnaires juifs qui ne combattent avec eux. L'horreur va jusqu'à la pratique du cannibalisme lors du siège de Jérusalem.

Avec la destruction du temple, la première guerre judéo-romaine est terminée, les romains y sont les grands vainqueurs.

Les derniers survivants de la révolte juive se suicident dans la forteresse de Massada après un long siège.

Complexité des personnages
Le narrateur va s'attacher à plusieurs personnes comme Titus, Flavius Josèphe ou encore la princesse de Judée Bérénice, dont il s'attache à montrer la complexité.

Flavius Joseph, ancien commandant de la forteresse de Jotapata décide de se rendre aux romains pour éviter le bain de sang.

Titus n'aurait pas demandé à son armée de détruire le temple, il aurait même promis à Bérénice (sa maîtresse) de préserver le temple, mais son armée est prise de zèle après une rude bataille et décide de brûler le temple.

Vérité historique ?
Ce sont les écrits de Flavius Josèphe qui ont poussé l'auteur à décrire de manière mortifère la guerre. Toutefois, certains historiens pensent que Flavus Joseph exagère.

Certains historiens remettent en cause l'idée d'un suicide de masse à Massada.

Babylon the Great – What is it?
One of the most intriguing mysteries of Revelation has to do with the identity of the symbolic Babylon the Great. There are various interpretations of what "Babylon the Great" represents. For example, one of the latest interpretations is that Babylon the Great is America. Others think that it is the old Roman Empire or the Vatican. In fact, back in the 1850's Alexander Hislop, in his book The Two Babylons, made a compelling case that the Catholic Church is the symbolic harlot. The Catholic Church, though, says that they are not the great harlot, but that apostate Jerusalem and pagan Rome fit the profile of the whore of Babylon.
How can anyone know for sure what Babylon the Great represents? According to the angel that presented the Revelation to John, it is by using our intelligence with wisdom. After saying to John that he would tell him the mystery of the woman riding the seven-headed beast, the angel went on to say:"Here is where intelligence that has wisdom comes in: The seven heads mean seven mountains, where the woman sits on top. And there are seven kings; five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet arrived, but when he does arrive he must remain a short while." (Revelation 17:9) Interestingly, the angel said very little about the harlotrous woman herself; instead, he described in detail the origin and nature of her beastly mount. According to the angel, the seven heads of the wild beast represent seven kings that rule in succession. The angel plainly said: "The seven heads mean seven mountains, where the woman sits on top." Five of those kings had already fallen from power by the first century when the Revelation was given. Which kings were they? According to Bible history and prophecy, those five "fallen" kings were Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medo-Persia and Greece. Of course, Rome was the existing king in the 1st century, which the angel was referring to as the one that"is." And the king that "has not yet arrived" has proven to be the Anglo-American dual world power. According to the angel, then, "the seven heads mean seven mountains." That is in keeping with the facts that in many places in prophecy mountains symbolize governments. For instance, Jeremiah 51:25 likens the fallen Babylonian kingdom to a "ruinous mountain" and a "burnt-out mountain." Of course, Babylon itself was situated on a river plain and was not a mountain city. So, clearly, Jehovah uses mountains to symbolize mountain-like political institutions. Elsewhere in scripture, God's own royal kingdom is called Mount Zion. Therefore, Babylon the Great cannot represent the Roman Catholic Church, America, or any other nation or single religion. The reason is because the five fallen kings that were dominated by the harlot existed before Christ, and long before the Vatican or the United States ever came on the scene. Likewise, some would-be-interpreters insist that the seven mountains are actually the seven hills that the literal city of Rome was supposedly built upon. But, as anyone with intelligence can read for themselves, the seven mountains merely symbolize the seven heads of the beast and are not literal hills at all, and the seven heads are themselves seven consecutive kingdoms that have ruled the world and impacted Jehovah's worshippers. So what does Babylon the Great really represent? It represents what the Watchtower has said all along. Babylon the Great symbolizes the world empire of false religion. That is – all organized religion with the exception of the true faith of Jesus Christ. How may we be sure?
THE ABUNDANCE OF YOUR SORCERIES
In order to understand the mysteries of Revelation, it is helpful to have some knowledge of the Hebrew prophets from whom much of the symbolism of Revelation is drawn. By examining the Hebrew Scriptures we may gain some insight into the historical foundation for the modern entity called Babylon the Great. For example, in the 47th chapter of Isaiah, Jehovah speaks to the original Babylon using phrases that centuries later were used in Revelation to describe Babylon the Great. Isaiah 47:8 ascribes these words to ancient Babylon: "Now hear this, you pleasure-seeking woman, the one sitting in security, the one saying in her heart: 'I am, and there is no one else. I shall not sit as a widow, and I shall not know the loss of children.'" Revelation 18:7 describes Babylon the Great the same way, saying: "For in her heart she keeps saying, 'I sit a queen, and I am no widow, and I shall never see mourning.'" Another similarity between the two Babylons is that they are described as using sorcery and spiritism. For instance, Isaiah 47:9 foretells that Jehovah's judgment will come upon Babylon, "for the abundance of your sorceries, for the full might of your spells – exceedingly." Likewise, Revelation 18:23 says of Babylon the Great: "For by your spiritistic practice all the nations were misled." Spiritism and sorcery obviously has to do with the black arts associated with demon religion. How is it that Babylon misled the nations of the world using demonism? At this point we ought to make a distinction between imperial Babylon and religious Babylon, although the two were inseparably linked. Whereas the Babylonian Empire terrorized and subjugated a large portion of the world with the edge of the sword, priest-craft and mysticism were employed to not only justify war, but to conquer and control the minds of the individual subjects in order to make them subservient to the Empire. Thus, demon religion has always been a tool of the empire and each has used the other to further their own ends. That is why Babylon the great is symbolized as a great harlot and queen mother that commits fornication with the kings of the earth. History verifies that each empire has had a religious consort. Pharaoh had his magic-practicing priests. Assyria and Babylon had a hierarchy of priests that attended to their multiplicity of deities and steered the empire by astrology and divination. The Persian Empire adopted the religion known as Zoroastrianism. The Greeks were polytheistic and built numerous shrines and temples to their gods and goddesses. The Romans inherited a hodgepodge of mythology from the Chaldeans, Persians and Greeks and formalized it into the state religion known as Mithras. Later, of course, Rome adopted apostate Christianity as the official state religion. In modern history, the Anglican Church has been the official consort of the British Empire. While the United States' official policy is that there must be no state religion, Jewish, Catholic and Protestant religions exert a very powerful influence over the American political system. Appropriately, the official religion of the United Nations, is the new age religion for the New Order, which, in reality, is merely a conglomeration of all of the previous religions of the empire—and then some.
Much has been written about the occult publishing company of Lucis Trust, formerly Lucifer Trust, which apparently has a powerful, spellbinding influence over the United Nations bureaucracy. Such an unseemly connection exemplifies the occultish, satanic influence that Babylon the Great is capable of exerting over powerful men and political institutions. So it follows that modern babylonish adepts still use sorcery and spiritism to mislead mankind. One notable aspect of Babylon's religion was that it featured triads of gods and demons. Most prominent among the Babylonian pantheon was the trinity composed of Anu, Bel and Ea. Another triad consisted of Shamash, Sin and Ishtar. From Babel the trinity was taken into Egypt in the form of the gods, Osiris, Isis and Horus. To this day, the ages-old Hindu religion has retained the babylonish triad. Christendom's nonsensical and unbiblical doctrine of the Trinity gives evidence that Catholicism, Orthodoxy, and Protestantism are also the immoral offspring of their babylonish mother, which is why Babylon the Great is called "the mother of the harlots." Astrology also played an important role in babylonish religion. At Isaiah 47:12-13, Jehovah taunts and challenges the stargazers and soothsayers to divine the future. It reads: "Stand still, now, with your spells and with the abundance of your sorceries, in which you have toiled from your youth; that perhaps you might be able to benefit, that perhaps you might strike people with awe. You have grown weary with the multitude of your counselors. Let them stand up now, and save you, the worshippers of the heavens, the lookers at the stars, those giving out knowledge at the new moons concerning the things that will come upon you." By making reference to Babylon's youth, Jehovah was apparently referring to the post-Deluge beginnings of Babel and its ignominious founder –Nimrod. It seems that an entire mythology was built around the relationship of Nimrod with Semiramis his mother, so that after his death Nimrod was deified as the Sun god and his mother became the Queen of the heavens. Thus, from the very beginning, before Nebuchadnezzar's Babylonian Empire, the Chaldeans 'toiled from youth' to create a system of worship based upon myth, divination, astrology, superstition and magic. Another aspect of the religion of Babylon the Great is that according to Revelation 18:7, she has "glorified herself and lived in shameless luxury." Living in "shameless luxury" certainly describes the phony religious system of modern Babylon the Great. The Catholic Church, being one of the most powerful and prominent segments of modern false religion, is conspicuous in this respect and certainly fits the description of living in shameless luxury. As one of the wealthiest institutions in the world, the Church stands in stark contrast to the hopeless poverty of so many of the peoples of the world that she has exploited. Not much needs to be said concerning the well-known and highly publicized shameless begging and opulent lifestyles of numerous televangelists, who have exploited gullible minds with a so-called prosperity doctrine. Also, in recent years the media has also thrown light on the fabulously wealthy Mormon Church. Many of Babylon the Great's traveling merchants of religion, whether popes, gurus, swamis, rabbis, Protestant clergy, or Islam's mullahs, have been the "top-ranking men of earth," as Revelation 18:23 describes, and as such, they are often richly rewarded for their services to the great harlot.
THE BLOOD OF ALL THOSE THAT HAVE BEEN SLAUGHTERED
Another similarity between ancient and modern Babylon is that the religious leaders are agents for fomenting war. According to Revelation 18:24, Jehovah God holds false religion directly responsible for all of the deaths that have occurred in warfare. And true to Jehovah's judgment, history verifies that religious fanaticism and cleric political involvement is often used to manipulate men into killing one another. The Crusades, horrific Inquisitions, Hundred Years war, plus the World Wars of the 20th Century, which were fought in the heart of what is known as Christendom, proves beyond any denial that the denominations claiming to be Christian are really part of Babylon the Great. The Vatican's secretary of state, Cardinal Eugenio Pacelli (the future Pope Pius XII), and Germany's vice chancellor, Franz von Papen, formally signed a concordat between the Holy See and the German Reich on July 20, 1933. And when religion is not directly involved in warfare, it often gives tacit approval by abdicating its moral authority. For example, it is charged that had the Pope of Rome used his authority to speak out against Hitler and the Holocaust, many lives could have been saved and perhaps the entire course of history could have been changed for the better. (Pope wants to erase Nazi ties to Church) But Jehovah's judgments against Babylon the Great have not taken place yet, so apparently her sins have not yet amassed clear up to heaven, as Revelation describes. That being the case, evidently Babylon is not through promoting the slaughter of mankind. Indeed, the world is presently careening towards the so-called Clash of Civilizations that global seers have envisioned, which has the potential of being the greatest slaughter that has ever occurred in mankind's bloody history. Not uncharacteristically, the world's major religions are situated at ground zero. It should be of more than passing interest to us that fundamentalist Jews, Muslims, Hindus, and Christians are all deeply involved in the world's present Middle East and India-Pakistan crisis. While, in the West, Islam is typically portrayed as the chief warmongering culprit, others rightly charge the Christian Fundamentalists sects as being every bit as culpable and dangerous as the Islamist associated with terrorism. In the wake of 9-11, Christian fundamentalists have shamelessly fanned the flames of anti-Islamic hatred, thereby setting the stage for the coming slaughter of innocents in the name of Jesus. Unquestionably, Zionism is the root cause of contention that has pitted Islam against Christendom and Israel and which has now brought the entire global civilization to the brink of World War Three. In the recent destruction of Iraq, whereby some estimate the Iraqi death toll now exceeds 1,000,000, far more than were killed by the deposed Iraqi dictator, in America the ignorant masses of evangelicals were the political foot soldiers that made the war possible. Because Zionism is itself a product of 19th Century British geo-political intrigue and the occult, it is apparent that Christendom is a compliant Mistress in allowing herself to be used to give biblical credence to such modern mythology as Zionism. True to prophecy, it is evident that by her spiritistic practice all nations are being misled into becoming bloodguilty before God.
But, besides lending support to general and religious warfare, Babylon the Great is specifically charged with persecuting and murdering Jehovah's prophets and holy ones. Revelation 18:24 says in full: "Yes, in her was found the blood of prophets and of holy ones and of all those who have been slaughtered on the earth." The term "holy ones" applies specifically to anointed Christians. In the first century many of the holy ones were killed by fanatical Jews and Roman pagans. Later the Catholic Church persecuted, tortured and executed many thousands of Christians deemed to be heretics. No doubt some of those victims were genuine holy ones, such as the Waldenses of Southern France. In the 20th Century, Christendom has taken the lead in outrightly persecuting Jehovah's Witnesses and has used her considerable political influence to cause the governments and politicians to enact regulations aimed at suppressing our work. The Holocaust Museum, in Washington D.C., documents the trials and tribulations of Jehovah's Witnesses during the Nazi Holocaust in Europe. But, Jehovah's Witnesses have suffered religious persecution in other nations as well. For example, during the 1950's, in the Canadian province of Quebec, Jehovah's Witnesses were bitterly persecuted by the Catholic Premier and the Catholic Church. More recently, the Russian Orthodox Church has sponsored the banning and persecution of Jehovah's Witnesses in the former Soviet nations and Russia. Religious intolerance and fanaticism has resulted in persecutions in Armenia, Turkmenistan, and Georgia. The Greek Orthodox Church has been behind decades of rabid persecution of Jehovah's Witnesses in Greece. Catholic influence in France was evident few years ago, whereby Jehovah's Witnesses were punitively taxed. In fact, some French legislators apparently wanted to make any sort of preaching a crime. Unbiased observers recognize that even in a bastion of democracy like the United States, that Jehovah's Witnesses have had to go to extraordinary lengths to secure their constitutionally guaranteed freedoms. The above-cited examples of religiously motivated persecution, reveals the underlying hostility and animosity that Babylon the Great harbors against Jehovah God and those who bear his name. The question naturally arises: Where will such enmity lead in the future?

I'm using your test format messages for resource testing in our project.
I run checker twice on same resources and on the second path it found new errors. All new errors was about texture sizes.
I think it's because some textures are reused in many houses, like texture1 in my sample. So we had test with equal names in different test suites.
Is it my mistake and I had to change checker in the way to make all test names unique, or shall write an isssue in your tracker?
Usually, test name should include suite's name in it. This should make all the test's names different.
Having several tests with the same name is not a good idea, though, TeamCity should handle them as different tests and provided the tests are always run in the same order this should not be a problem.
I'll already made test names unique.
My question - Is it "Function As Designed" or I can write issue in your tracker?
Can you please describe the exact problem you have with the same-named tests?
As I described, TeamCity should cope with that OK, provided the order of the tests is not changed from build to build.
I was expecting that test names had to be unique just for one test suite.
But TeamCity each run found new failed tests.
Such test output in different test suites will be marked as new fail test each run.
Full example log was written in the first message of this thread.
I can send you full logs via e-mail. It's size 17Mb.
It seems I've got your problem: you get the service messages-reported tests marked as "new" in every build.
I cannot reproduce it with the snippet you provided in the first message, the tests are not marked new in my case (at least on the current sources).
I guess it's time for the issue in the tracker.
Can you please try to narrow the test data that reproduces the problem and post it into the issue?
Please also note your TeamCity version in the issue.
