Top restaurant TV ads marry price, quality
Survey shows Pizza Hut, Wendy's value-driven TV spots resonate most with consumers
While many quick-service restaurants touted price in January TV ads, not all of them improved their value perceptions with consumers, according to new "value score" data from YouGov BrandIndex, a market research firm.
In order to cut through the clutter in cost-conscious times restaurants need a balance of new-product news and prices that denote value for money — not just price points that undercut the competition, according to BrandIndex senior vice president Ted Marzilli.
BrandIndex calculates a value score by surveying thousands of American consumers every day and asking, "Does this brand give a good value for what you pay?" Negative responses for each brand are subtracted from positive responses, and a moving average is calculated in a range from negative 100 to positive 100, with a zero rating denoting neutral value perceptions.
Throughout January, Wendy's had the largest lead in value scores, staying consistently in the mid-40-point range, even though it has not been advertising its My 99 Value Menu anywhere near the level of its biggest burger competitor, McDonald's, and its Dollar Menus at breakfast and lunch.
But value scores are not solely about price points.
"The question asks not who has the cheapest price, but which of these brands provides the most for what you pay," Marzilli said. "Quality is built into the question and people's perceptions of value. Wendy's has a high-quality positioning, and consumers believe that. They also believe Wendy's is competitive on price."
Pizza Hut, the biggest improver
Few quick-service segments are as competitive on price as pizza, and in January, Pizza Hut and Papa John's were locked in a tight contest on pricing. While Papa John's scores in the high 20s and low 30s reflected its consistent branding with "Better ingredients, better pizza" commercials and the $11 price point, Pizza Hut made bigger improvements in its value scores.
Pizza Hut ran new spots for its $10 any-pizza deal, and its value scores improved 12 points, from 22.0 at the beginning of January to 34.0 at the end of the month. Pizza Hut ended January with value scores ahead of Papa John's 29.1, although Pizza Hut started the year trailing its rival in that metric, probably because Papa John's premium price point bolstered perceptions of the quality consumers could get for $1 more, Marzilli said.
"You'd think $11 versus $10 would be pretty clear, but there's also an evaluation of what you get for that $10 or $11," he said. "Pizza Hut started out a little bit below Papa John's, and it could be because of a perception that you do get more quality for $11 [at Papa John's]."
Pizza Hut may have benefited from the fact that the brand switched up its creative and ran some new commercials around the $10 any-pizza deal, including a spot with a guitarist singing a Pizza Hut jingle, Marzilli speculated.
By contrast, Papa John's continued its long-running campaign with founder and chief executive John Schnatter, who always reinforces the "Better ingredients, better pizza" positioning in his commercials. The spots also revolved around the $11 price point, which Papa John's has worked hard to claim the past several quarters, and involved its tie-in with the National Football League, with whom Papa John's is in the second year of a multiyear partnership.

"If you tweak a campaign and change the creative, that may resonate with consumers, compared with a more continuous one," Marzilli said. "When people hear the same promotion long enough, they start to think that's the real price … and it may lower the value perception [of the offer]."
Not workin' for the Weekend Bucket
New-product news and persistent advertising probably drove Burger King's improvement in value scores, according to BrandIndex's data. Burger King ended January with a score of 32.7, up 9.6 points from 23.1 to begin the month, in which it promoted its new French fries and executed a large direct-mail campaign with coupon books.
Taco Bell also had a significant improvement in January, taking its value scores from 27.5 to 33.1 on the strength of the Beefy Crunchy Burrito limited-time offer for 99 cents.
Yet some chains, especially KFC, struggled to improve price-value perceptions meaningfully with consumers. The fried-chicken brand got a small boost in its value scores to begin the month, when it heavily advertised the $11 Weekend Bucket and 50-cent Hot Wings. But the value score dropped to pre-January levels in the middle of the month.
Watch KFC's Weekend Bucket commercial; story continues below
Marzilli theorized that the crowded space of restaurants advertising value deals made it hard for KFC to break through.
"The value or the price promotion is tricky, particularly if you know your competitors are going to be promoting theirs at the same time," he said. "It has to work for you as a brand and still be profitable. How much it resonates has to do with what everybody else is doing, and it's a challenging environment."
The $11 price point may have been problematic for a fried-chicken offer as well, Marzilli added.
"If KFC is advertising an $11 Weekend Bucket, people have to equate $11 with feeding a family of four typically," he said. "That's about $3 per person. But there also is somebody not doing the math or who doesn't have a family of four, making $11 not that relevant. The potential problem is that this may not resonate with singles or couples.
"If we had sliced this data by families," he said, "it might have been better for KFC."
YouGov BrandIndex is based in New York.

The test result is okay, but i don't know the cause of those errors messages, in my opinion it is on rails root files, so i prefer to not change then, but i'm actually learning rails and don't know much.

A: Deprecation errors in code can sometimes get annoying though it won't get in the way until there's a significant library upgrade that finally removes that deprecated logic, forcing programmers to finally do something about it if they wish to stick with the latest and greatest.
I noticed the stacktrace in question might be incomplete, which could be leaving some important hints that helps identifying not only where the root cause is, but most impotantly what in the proprietary code is calling it to begin with. Either way, it's a warning, the tests passes and as far as I can tell it'll only become a priority/urgency even, when there's a real need.
With that being said, the error seems more around the easier side of things where as it states, the number of arguments being passed down the line is different than ideal. Looking into the Gem doc and try to trace it back will probaly get closer to where the issue to be addressed is.

NEW PROFILES AND ARTICLES ON TRAC
Of the six attacks on hotels in 2019, four were carried out by al Shabaab.
Based on the location and target, islamic State is most likely responsible.
The first mention of Wilayah Turkey was made in the last video featuring Baghdadi in April 2019.
The video comes 4 days after AGH released an audio message from its new leader Abdul Hameed Lelhari.
ISWA claims to have taken control of the base for 3 to 4 hours; Niger MoI reports 18 dead and 9 vehicles missing.
Islamic State likely over Nafaa Brigade, who attacks mainly in Kasserine.
Though Azerbaijan has had a number of foreign fighters travel to Syria & Iraq, it has never had an Islamic State attack.
The attack is almost identical to a 2016 Taliban / Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) attack on the MoD.
At least ten different groups/cells pledged, far more than any other location thus far.

Who's shooting?
Rolls-Royce shooting brake commissioned by John Entwistle of The Who goes to auction
In the manner typical of a rock star, The Who's John Entwistle never learnt to drive. Instead, the legendary bass player bought cars because he liked to "drink in them". One – specially adapted to suit an Irish Wolfhound named Fits Perfectly and several Rottweilers – is due at auction on 7th September.

John Entwistle (1944 – 2002)
The car John Entwistle commissioned the conversion of into a shooting brake was a 1980 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow II. The coachbuilder is not known but it is suspected that it could have been FLM (Panelcraft) Limited of South London. A friend of the star, rock journalist Lesley Ann Jones, recalled a conversation about the vehicle's original colour – it is now in brown – in a 2007 article in the Mail Online:
"I had never seen a Rolls-Royce that shade of green before, I told him. 'Neither has anyone', said John. 'I took a Harrods carrier bag to the bodyshop when I bought the car, and told the paint sprayer to match it'".

The front seats are large and comfortable
The rear seats provided ample comfort for the rocker and his entourage also
The car comes complete with picnic tables
Given Entwistle once commented "I drink in them" when asked what he did with his cars, this drinks cabinet was an essential addition also
In the feature, Jones also recounts a journey she took with Entwistle to Wembley where she sat with Fit's Perfectly (the dog) in the Rolls-Royce's boot drinking brandy but after the musician's death, whilst being driven by one of his girlfriends, Lisa Pritchett-Johnson, in 2003 the vehicle was stopped by the police. Pritchett-Johnson – who tragically died of a cocaine overdose in 2005 in Memphis, Tennessee – was cautioned for the possession of cocaine and banned from driving for two years.
Subsequently, Entwistle's family sold the car to the present owner in 2006. They commissioned Coway Coachbuilders of Bolton, Lancashire to refurbish it and have continued to maintain it through the recognised Rolls-Royce mechanical engineer Alastair Scott of Abernethy, Perthshire. It has said "not [to have given] any trouble" during this period and 115,000 miles are recorded on the clock.
Of the vehicle, a spokesman for Bonhams, who are selling the car, commented:
"There was never an official factory-bodied estate version of the Shadow but that did not deter those wealthy enough from commissioning their own. The car has been kept at an estate in Perthshire, Scotland where it was mainly used for grouse shooting, and has been garage stored in a 'bubble' to maintain ideal air temperature".
A guide price of just £12,000 to £16,000 has been set.

The Haglöfs Spitz Jacket Is Back!
Legendary Swedish Gore-Tex mountain jacket is reincarnated for 2016 with modern fabrics, features and technology - get in!
Haglöfs original Spitz Jacket launched back in 2007 was something of a ground-breaker. A great-looking, short-cut, Gore-Tex mountaineering jacket complete with snazzy colour-contrasting zips, a helmet hood and quiet good looks, it became something of an instant classic and object of outdoor clothing desire.
And now it's back for winter 2016, true to the original winning design, but updated with modern fabrics and technologies. That means 'new' Spitz aces 'old' Spitz with new, lighter, tougher and more breathable Gore-Tex Pro fabric for example, but in an 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' sort of way, most of the rest of the jacket remains pretty much the same.
That means the medium short, harness-friendly cut, helmet hood with stiffened peak, Napoleon chest-pockets, pit-zips, reinforced wear points and water-resistant zips are all present and correct. And so are the classically smooth good looks.
One major change from the first coming, is that the new Spitz is now also available in a women's-specific version – all these same features as the men's jacket, but shaped to fit female physiology.
There are four men's colour options ranging from brash red through to a discrete sort of beige/grey 'beluga' ensemble, while girls get a choice of plain black or vibrant red and 'berry'. Weights are a reasonable 435g for the women's model and 490g for the men's – not bad for a tough mountain jacket.
Finally, the bottom line is a cool £380 suggested retail price. Not cheap, but then neither was the original. We loved the original Spitz and we're looking forward to seeing how the new version measures up to the classic. Watch this space.
Warning: this Scandinavian video does not contain dark scenes of murder, enigmatic, brooding detective work, bridges, tunnels or girls with any sort of tattoo whatsoever.

OROP: Veterans to get Full Pension as Service Limit goes
5 0 Kiran Kumari Wednesday, October 5, 2016 Edit this post
After years of dithering, the Centre has finally acted on its promise of One Rank One Pension (OROP).
In a September 30 letter addressed to the Chiefs of Army, Navy and Air Force, the Ministry of Personnel informed them about the notification on pension benefits as recommended by the 7th Central Pay Commission (CPC).
The three services had earlier decided not to implement the Seventh CPC award till the Narendra Modi government rectified what they had termed as 'anomalies.'
While the defence personnel had every reason to be pleased with the latest decision on pension awards, there were murmurs of protest over the reluctance of the Centre to re-visit the recommendations on disability pension. Prior to the latest notification, all the ex-servicemen who were re-employed and retired from Central Government Departments (like Central Excise, Customs, Income Tax, Railways, Postal, Telecom, AIR, Doordarshan etc.) were paid pro-rata pension with 33 years' service required for full pension.
Most of the ex-servicemen re-employed were retiring before completing 33 years. Therefore all these personnel were paid pro-rata pension. However, all that changed after a Supreme Court judgment earlier in the year.
The OROP issue became a major bone of contention in 2015 between the defence personnel and the Modi government with the former charging it of backtracking on its 2014 general election manifesto promise.
Arrears payment
As a result of the notification, OROP stands implemented with effect from December 2015 and beneficiaries would be paid arrears in the next few months. In short, the revised consolidated pension and family pension of pre-2006 armed forces pensioners shall not be less than 50 and 30 per cent of the minimum in the pay of the rank.
An example of how it would translate into reality in the case of a Colonel with 33 years of service shows that the pension would be Rs. 92,854 per month. Arrears from January to June would be Rs. 69,370 per month and from July to October Rs. 35,371 and total arrears would be Rs. 104741.
EX-SERVICEMAN One Rank One Pension
RAMACHANDRAN KK October 5, 2016 at 12:21 PM
How the pension of a sepoy is effected? Nobody is interested. Every body is giving the benefit of Officers and never speak about the pay and other benefits of the lowest rank.
Bhai it will be implemented for all rank.
THESE ORDERS HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH OROP DISCREPANCIES . ONE GOVT ORDER IS BASED ON HSC RULING FOR WHICH BENEFITS TO CIVILIAN STAFF HAVE BEEN GIVEN LONG BACK.
SECOND GOVT ORDER IS FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF 7 CPC FOR PRE-2016 DEFENCE RETIREES.
SINCE THE 7CPC PAY STRUCTURE OF DEFENCE PERSONNEL HAVE NOT YET BEEN FINALISED , THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ""PRE" AND ""POST " 2016 DEFENCE RETIREES CAN NOT BE ESTABLISHED AS OF NOW.
bc goyalmhow October 6, 2016 at 8:06 PM
The order dt 30.9.2016 regarding fixation of pension without prorata ( i.e. without 33 yrs cumpulsion for full pension) will be beneficial to all. Example is given :- Sepoy retiring with 15 yrs service Y gp was paid upto 4016, and by circular no.547 revision was 4637 effective 1.1.2006, and now by 30.9.2016 orders all sepoys will be paid 5125 pension wef 1.1.2006 Y Gp.,Diff of 488/- p.m. plus Dearness relief, a substantial arrears. Very good move by the Govt.
ravindra October 13, 2016 at 10:35 AM
the Govt took six months after the order for civilians in Min of defence to issue order for men in uniform be paid this diff. now the principal CDA pensions will take how much time to inform the pension distribution agencies (that is Banks ) no one knows. till that no arrears. and then Banks will take their time to compute and pay .

The Bible warns about end-time Babylon:
1 Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and talked with me, saying to me, "Come, I will show you the judgment of the great harlot who sits on many waters, 2 with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth were made drunk with the wine of her fornication."
3 So he carried me away in the Spirit into the wilderness. And I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast which was full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. 4 The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the filthiness of her fornication. 5 And on her forehead a name was written:
MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
6 I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And when I saw her, I marveled with great amazement.
7 But the angel said to me, "Why did you marvel? I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns. 8 The beast that you saw was, and is not, and will ascend out of the bottomless pit and go to perdition. And those who dwell on the earth will marvel, whose names are not written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world, when they see the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
9 "Here is the mind which has wisdom: The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits. 10 There are also seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, and the other has not yet come. And when he comes, he must continue a short time. 11 The beast that was, and is not, is himself also the eighth, and is of the seven, and is going to perdition.
12 "The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast. 13 These are of one mind, and they will give their power and authority to the beast. 14 These will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with Him are called, chosen, and faithful."
15 Then he said to me, "The waters which you saw, where the harlot sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations, and tongues. 16 And the ten horns which you saw on the beast, these will hate the harlot, make her desolate and naked, eat her flesh and burn her with fire. 17 For God has put it into their hearts to fulfill His purpose, to be of one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God are fulfilled. 18 And the woman whom you saw is that great city which reigns over the kings of the earth." (Revelation 17:1-18)
1 After these things I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was illuminated with his glory. 2 And he cried mightily with a loud voice, saying, "Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, and a cage for every unclean and hated bird! 3 For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury."
4 And I heard another voice from heaven saying, "Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues. 5 For her sins have reached to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities. 6 Render to her just as she rendered to you, and repay her double according to her works; in the cup which she has mixed, mix double for her. 7 In the measure that she glorified herself and lived luxuriously, in the same measure give her torment and sorrow; for she says in her heart, 'I sit as queen, and am no widow, and will not see sorrow.' 8 Therefore her plagues will come in one day — death and mourning and famine. And she will be utterly burned with fire, for strong is the Lord God who judges her. (Revelation 18:1)
So, there is a tie in with Babylon, the great city of seven-hills (Rome), and a woman riding a beast.
Notice some of what the Bible says about the original tower of Babel in the Book of Genesis.
1 Now the whole earth had one language and one speech. 2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they dwelt there. 3 Then they said to one another, "Come, let us make bricks and bake them thoroughly." They had brick for stone, and they had asphalt for mortar. 4 And they said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top is in the heavens; let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth."
5 But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built. 6 And the Lord said, "Indeed the people are one and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do; now nothing that they propose to do will be withheld from them. 7 Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another's speech." 8 So the Lord scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they ceased building the city. 9 Therefore its name is called Babel, because there the Lord confused the language of all the earth; and from there the Lord scattered them abroad over the face of all the earth. (Genesis 11:1-9)
The European Union has 24 official languages. It also uses something like the Tower of Babel for some of its symbolism:
European Parliament building, Stasbourg, France
The above building was left intentionally unfinished by the Europeans. It should be of interest to note that the Tower of Babel was also an unfinished building.
Not enough of a connection?
Well, notice the following European poster from several years ago:
The trappings and the agenda that are going on do align with the type of political power that the Bible warns about. Notice also the following:
Europe has many ties to the Beast and the woman who rides it and this is reflected in official European coinage and art.
It should be noted that the flag of the European Union, which is supposed to have 'Marian' influence, has twelve stars. The Bible tells of a reorganization of Europe into ten kingdoms (Revelation 17:12), plus the Beast (Revelation 17:13) King of the North (Daniel 11:40), who is assisted by another Beast (Revelation 13:11-18), who is also known as the final Antichrist. Thus, we see twelve 'kings' which seems to tie in with the twelve stars on the EU flag (note the EU did not have 12 members when that flag was adopted.
Here is a closer view of the Greek two Euro coin:
That coin clearly depicts a woman riding a Beast.
The Bible itself warns about a religious system based out of the city of seven hills that rides the European Beast power.
Consider the European Union flag. Do you realize that although there were 15 nations in 1953 involved in the initial Council of Europe, a twelve star flag was adopted in 1955?
But why use twelve stars? Why hasn't the Council of Europe (which has 45 member states, including the EU–which has 28 member nations) used another number or changed it?
Well, 'Mary' is prominent in an unusual way in the new European Union as she was the "inspiration" for its flag. According to the Times Online (November 16, 2005):
"The chosen flag was designed by Arsene Heitz, a German Roman Catholic who said that he had been inspired by a line in the Book of Revelation about the Virgin Mary wearing a crown of 12 stars, a common depiction in Christian iconography."
Hence, we see a clear tie between Mary (called the "Queen of Heaven" by the Roman Catholics) and the flag for the European Union. The final European power will also be a religious one (Revelation 13:4,8).
Notice also the following from the Bible:
1 "Come down and sit in the dust,
O virgin daughter of Babylon;
Sit on the ground without a throne,
O daughter of the Chaldeans!
For you shall no more be called
Tender and delicate. (Isaiah 47:1)
42 … Set in array, like a man for the battle, Against you, O daughter of Babylon. (Jeremiah 50:42)
The Bible shows that this 'virgin' (Isaiah 47:8) makes the same statements that end time Babylon makes (Revelation 18:7). The European version of 'Virgin Mary' is not a biblical one, yet it is using symbolism which has prophetic ramifications. There are many similarities of the 'virgin' in Isaiah 47 and the 'Mary' that many venerate (see also Mary, the Mother of Jesus and the Apparitions).
While just having the symbols that the Bible warns about does not completely prove that Europe will fulfill various end time prophecies related to the end time Babylonian Beast power, Europe certainly has many symbols that are consistent with it.
Perhaps it should be added that its disdain for US President Trump is also motivating them to fulfill various prophecies.
Some items of possibly related interest may include:
Europa, the Beast, and Revelation Where did Europe get its name? What might Europe have to do with the Book of Revelation? What about "the Beast"? Is an emerging European power "the daughter of Babylon"? What is ahead for Europe? Here is a link to a video titled: Can You Prove that the Beast to Come is European?
European Technology and the Beast of Revelation Will the coming European Beast power would use and develop technology that will result in the taking over of the USA and its Anglo-Saxon allies? Is this possible? What does the Bible teach? Here is a related YouTube video: Military Technology and the Beast of Revelation.
Must the Ten Kings of Revelation 17:12 Rule over Ten Currently Existing Nations? Some claim that these passages refer to a gathering of 10 currently existing nations together, while one group teaches that this is referring to 11 nations getting together. Is that what Revelation 17:12-13 refers to? The ramifications of misunderstanding this are enormous. A related sermon is titled Ten Kings of Revelation and the Great Tribulation.
Do You Know That Babylon is Forming? How is the final Babylon forming? Are Protestants such as Joel Osteen and Kenneth Copeland are endorsing something dangerous? Could Pope Francis be the 'False Prophet' that the Bible warns against? Is an antipope expected to endorse a one-world religion? Here is a link to a related written article In Vatican City: New Babylon more openly forming!
United Nations: Humankind's Last Hope or New World Order? Is the UN the last hope for humanity? Or might its goals end up with sinister results? A related video would be United Nations and Vatican Are Planning the New World Order.
Pope Francis: Could this Marian Focused Pontiff be Fulfilling Prophecy? Pope Francis has taken many steps to turn people more towards his version of 'Mary.' Could this be consistent with biblical and Catholic prophecies? This article documents what has been happening. There is also a video version titled Pope Francis: Could this Marian Focused Pontiff be Fulfilling Prophecy?
Anti-Pope Francis? Some cardinals and other members of the Roman Catholic clergy are concerned that Pope Francis has deviated from its traditional positions on matters such as homosexuality, salvation, fornication, remarriage, and other doctrines. Australian Cardinal George Pell even mentioned 'antipopes' when discussing Pope Francis. North American Cardinal Raymond Burke has raised many concerns about Francis' pontificate. Did Catholic saints teach that popes could become heretics? Will the final pope not be Catholic? Is an ecumenical pontiff possibly the final Antichrist? What do both biblical, and even Roman Catholic, prophecies warn about? Could Pope Francis be an antipope and final Antichrist? This is a new video.
Mary, the Mother of Jesus and the Apparitions Do you know much about Mary? Are the apparitions real? What happened at Fatima? What might they mean for the rise of the ecumenical religion of Antichrist? Are Protestants moving towards Mary? How do the Eastern/Greek Orthodox view Mary? How might Mary view her adorers? Here is a link to a YouTube video Marian Apparitions May Fulfill Prophecy. Here is a link to a sermon video: Why Learn About Fatima?
Why Should American Catholics Fear Unity with the Orthodox? Are the current ecumenical meetings a good thing or will they result in disaster? Is doctrinal compromise good? Here is a link to a related video Should you be concerned about the ecumenical movement?
Will the Interfaith Movement Lead to Peace or Sudden Destruction? Is the interfaith movement going to lead to lasting peace or is it warned against?
Beware: Protestants Going Towards Ecumenical Destruction! What is going on in the Protestant world? Are Protestants turning back to their 'mother church' in Rome? Does the Bible warn about this? What are Catholic plans and prophecies related to this? Is Protestantism doomed?
Which Is Faithful: The Roman Catholic Church or the Continuing Church of God? Do you know that both groups shared a lot of the earliest teachings? Do you know which church changed? Do you know which group is most faithful to the teachings of the apostolic church? Which group best represents true Christianity? This documented article answers those questions.
Where is the True Christian Church Today? This free online pdf booklet answers that question and includes 18 proofs, clues, and signs to identify the true vs. false Christian church. Plus 7 proofs, clues, and signs to help identify Laodicean churches. A related sermon is also available: Where is the True Christian Church?

Germany's Assyrian Roots Throughout History Are the Germanic peoples descended from Asshur of the Bible? Have there been real Christians in Germanic history? What about the "Holy Roman Empire"? There is also a You-Tube video sermon on this titled Germany's Biblical Origins.
Germany in Biblical and Catholic Prophecy Does Assyria in the Bible equate to an end time power inhabiting the area of the old Roman Empire? What does prophecy say Germany will do and what does it say will happen to most of the German people? Here is a link to a video Is the USA Pushing Germany to Start WWIII?

Mark of the Beast What is the mark of the Beast? Who is the Beast? What have various ones claimed the mark is? What is the 'Mark of the Beast'?
Who is the King of the West? Why is there no Final End-Time King of the West in Bible Prophecy? Is the United States the King of the West? Here is a version in the Spanish language: ¿Quién es el Rey del Occidente? ¿Por qué no hay un Rey del Occidente en la profecía del tiempo del fin?
Who is the King of the North? Is there one? Do biblical and Roman Catholic prophecies for the Great Monarch point to the same leader? Should he be followed? Who will be the King of the North discussed in Daniel 11? Is a nuclear attack prophesied to happen to the English-speaking peoples of the United States, Great Britain, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand? When do the 1335 days, 1290 days, and 1260 days (the time, times, and half a time) of Daniel 12 begin? When does the Bible show that economic collapse will affect the United States? In the Spanish language check out ¿Quién es el Rey del Norte? Here is a link to a video titled: The Future King of the North.
Anglo – America in Prophecy & the Lost Tribes of Israel Are the Americans, Canadians, English, Scottish, Welsh, Australians, Anglo-Saxon (non-Dutch) Southern Africans, and New Zealanders descendants of Joseph? Where are the lost ten-tribes of Israel? Who are the lost tribes of Israel? What will happen to Jerusalem and the Jews in Israel? Will God punish the U.S.A., Canada, United Kingdom, and other Anglo-Saxon nations? Why might God allow them to be punished first? Here is a link to the Spanish version of this article: Anglo-América & las Tribus Perdidas de Israel. Information is also in the YouTube sermons titled Where are the Ten Lost Tribes? Why does it matter? and British are the Covenant People. A short YouTube of prophetic interest may be Barack Obama and the State of the Apocalypse.
Will the Anglo-Saxon Nations be Divided and Have People Taken as Slaves? Will the lands of the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand be divided? What about Jerusalem? What does Bible prophecy teach? Are there non-biblical prophecies that support this idea? Who will divide those lands? Who will end up with the lands and the people? Here is a link to a video titled Will the USA and other Anglo-nations be Divided and Their People Made Slaves?
Donald Trump in Prophecy Prophecy, Donald Trump? Are there prophecies that Donald Trump may fulfill? Are there any prophecies that he has already helped fulfill? Could a Donald Trump presidency be apocalyptic? A related video is titled: Donald: 'Trump of God' or Apocalyptic?
Trump Presidency Magic 8 Ball or Bible Prophecy? BBC reported that one might as well use a 'Magic Eight-Ball' to try to predict what will happen in the remaining time of Donald Trump's presidency. What is a 'Magic Eight-Ball'? Dr. Thiel not only explains that, but also briefly goes over 10 biblically-based warnings he wrote would happen if Donald Trump were elected that have already began to come to pass. He also goes over something he wrote back in 2008 that the Trump presidency is also helping lead to fulfillment. Should you trust Bible prophecy or not? Dr. Thiel says that Bible prophecy can be trusted, despite the view of skeptics and others that either overlook or despise the Bible. This is a video.

New Zealand 911 Truth
Uncovering the Truth of September 11
Porkins Policy Radio interview with Jenna Orkin on the health effects of the WTC dust and the EPA's coverup
News 1 Response »
From the show description:
This week writer and journalist Jenna Orkin joined me to discuss her book Ground Zero Wars: The fight to reveal the lies of the EPA in the wake of 9/11 and clean up Lower Manhattan, and the ongoing health problems caused by the World Trade Center dust. Jenna started off by telling us where she was on 9/11 and how the day unfolded for her. She talked about the fact that her son went to Stuyvesant High School at the time and how this led her to research the health effects of 9/11. We talked about the lack of clean-up at Stuyvesant and the desire to re-open the school one month after the attacks. Jenna and I talked about how this decision mirrored the official government response to the cleanup of Lower Manhattan and the re-opening of places like Wall Street. We then discussed exactly what was in the dust itself, including asbestos, Mercury, lead, and radioactive material. Jenna explained how the EPA used antiquated tests in order to hide the high levels of toxicity in the air. Jenna also talked about the science behind many of the EPA tests and how the logarithmic scale of measurement measures substances like asbestos.
Later we talked about key figures responsible for covering up the environmental disaster. We looked at EPA head Christine Todd-Whitman who repeatedly lied by saying the air was safe to breathe. We also touched on her husband's ties to Citigroup who benefited from the EPA's decision to lie about the safety of ground zero. Jenna and I also talked about James Connaughton who headed the White House Council on Environmental Quality, and how he manipulated press releases from the EPA. Jenna also brought up Connaughton's connection to the law firm Sidney Austin Brown & Wood which had offices in the World Trade Center.
We finished the conversation by talking about the legacy of the EPA. Jenna and I talked about how the EPA has only gotten worse since 9/11. Jenna also spoke about the need for us as citizens to take personal responsibility in the face of traumatic events like 9/11. We touched on the state of the 9/11 research community as well. Jenna finished off the conversation by talking about her work with the late great Michael Ruppert. Chuck and I rounded out the episode by talking about Ruppert's legacy as well as the work that goes into producing a live radio show.

9/11 fund to cut payments to sick survivors by at least 50%
News, Responders, United States, Victims Families 1 Response »
Fund only has $2.4bn to pay 19,000 claims, plus thousands more expected to file before it closes at the end of 2020.
Sick first responders and survivors of the 9/11 terrorist attacks will see payments slashed dramatically as the fund to compensate them runs out of money, officials said Friday. The fund was created to aid people sickened by exposure to toxins at the sites of deadly attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon in 2001, and the families of those who have died.

ZAYN, the name itself says a lot about him... it means 'Beautiful', which he really is.
I have been such a loyal follower ever since the world's No. 1 boy band 'One Direction' came into existence. And I still reminisce the day when he left the group, leaving all the #fangirl with broken hearts, some even got angry and confused over his sudden decision. Nobody really knew the story, nor did anyone understood the reason behind his exit from one of the best world-renowned boy band. I mean who could have ever imagined. Right?
Come next day, stories and rumors hovered the news, but Zayn was nowhere to be seen, nor did he explain the turmoil. The simple line of him enjoying a "normal 22-year-old who is able to relax and have some private time out of the spotlight" was all we heard from him. No sooner did he said that, and the release of his first single as a solo singer made headlines.
However, when his first book 'Z' came out, everybody waited with bated breath to know what the book was all about. Was it about his life? Was it about the boys or his fiancée? Or was it more about his musical journey? Nobody really knew.
The book is a sincere revelation of his life as a singer, the issue one go through when you are in the limelight. It is 'not' just an autobiography, but his own thought, some inspirational stories and more of his never-before-seen photographs. (Grool). The book is well written and carefully inscribed with a purpose. Knowing him as a person who is shy and silent, it is quite a personal experience for him to confess about his personal life, about his anxiety problem. It was something which we never saw it coming. His relationship with the 'Boys' was highlighted, and judging by what he has to say, I don't think there is any bad blood between them.
An honest review of his book will be… Zayn has reached his zenith and he has come a long way.
He openly spoke about his life and turned it into a book for his fan, he wished to share his journey he has taken so far. Just reading the book will tell you how much this silent, shy looking, 24 years old man from the biggest Boy band 'One Direction' has so much to say in words. The book is an open expression of his heart.
Not trying to sound bias, but I like 'Love' the fact that he is such a creative man. His dedication for music, his love for family is something I strongly respect. His work in term of writing is exclusive. He is unique, He is perfect. He is an Art. Period.
Grab a copy now, before you start judging him for what he is, and for what he has done already.

Omnireviewer (week of Oct. 30, 2016)
Slow week for media consumption. This is partially because I've been busy, partially because I've been listening to fragments of albums rather that full ones or podcasts, and partially because I've been playing a fair bit of Sunless Sea, which I think has gotten pretty close to enough words expended on it on this blog. For now.
Last Week Tonight: October 30, 2015 — I've observed that I'm always more involved in Oliver's long segments when they're about stories that I'm not especially familiar with. And I was sort of familiar with the state of school segregation in modern America, thanks to This American Life's staggeringly good two-parter "The Problem We All Live With." So, my thoughts on this generally were that I knew most of what was discussed, and having just watched it, I can't remember any of the jokes. This would seem to lend credence to the idea that Oliver is a better pundit than a comedian. Still, that clip of Joe Biden's reaction to hearing about the Anthony Weiner emails is amazing.
Full Frontal with Samantha Bee: "President Obama" — The Obama segment isn't the highlight of this, though watching the president laugh at Samantha Bee's millennial impression is curiously satisfying. It's the segment where Bee interviews Russia's government-employed professional trolls that really steals the show. Also, I'm always happy to watch funny people getting angry about the Alt-Right.
A Nightmare on Elm Street — I enjoyed this a lot more than I expected to. I've generally steered clear of the classic slasher movies because they're neither scary nor smart. But, firstly, this is the perfect thing for a Halloween movie night because it's campy and full of incredible overacting (Nancy's mom is amazing in every scene). And secondly, the premise of a killer who stalks people in their dreams to kill them in reality is truly, genuinely creepy — even if the execution doesn't live up to the concept. Worthwhile.
Buggles: The Age of Plastic — I was getting a haircut last weekend, and "Video Killed the Radio Star" came on the radio. Not being much of a haircut conversationalist, I actually listened to the song — for the first time, really. There's a difference between "hearing" and "listening." And I had it stuck in my head for several days. That's not a thing that normally happens to me, but "Video Killed the Radio Star" is a different kind of infectious once you really listen to it. Because, it's got so many moving parts in it, and every one of its dozen-or-so musical motives is a hook. It's an enormously complex and fussy pop song, befitting an album called The Age of Plastic. And the lyric conjures a classic and still-relevant anxiety: what happens when the machines take over the things we care about? It's a staggeringly good pop single. The rest of the album, which I figured it was about time I checked out (knowing the Buggles not just from this single but also from their befuddling tenure as members of Yes, during which they made an album I actually love) is less excellent, though "Living in the Plastic Age" is impressively detailed. Its dated production even manages not to chafe, given the obvious campness of the Buggles' devotion to synths. After those two opening tracks, things go downhill, though not so far that I'm unlikely to listen again. The Buggles make a truly attractive sound. Trevor Horn is a really fantastic singer, and Geoff Downes' keyboard-playing is like nobody else. The combination of his staccato attack on the electric piano with his symphonic approach to synths is instantly recognizable. This is a band that's due for a widespread rediscovery, given that modern life has given credence to their obsessive anxieties about technological innovation.
Yes: Drama — I couldn't not follow up The Age of Plastic with this. It's an extremely unusual entry in Yes's discography, of course, but for my money it's the creative equal of Going for the One. Having heard a Buggles album, it's especially remarkable how much Trevor Horn and Geoff Downes' sensibility comes out, here — and how compatible that sensibility is with the musical direction of Chris Squire, Steve Howe and Alan White during this period. Aside from "White Car," which is literally just a Buggles song (only Horn and Downes play on it) the tracks that the Buggles brought to the table ("Run Through the Light" and "Into the Lens") are essentially Buggles tracks where the bits that would be symphonic synth parts are instead performed by the most proficient band in rock music. That is self-evidently something worth hearing. The other tracks benefit from Horn's straightforward lyrics (what Jon Anderson would have done with these songs is extremely hard to imagine) and Downes' symphonic approach to synths, as opposed to Rick Wakeman's soloistic approach. This lineup was clearly unsustainable, but the one album we have from them is one of progressive rock's (and, I suppose, new wave's) most treasurable anomalies.
Opeth: Blackwater Park — I gave up on Opeth after Heritage. Not because they quit metal, but because they abandoned a distinctive (I just about dare say unique) musical idiom in favour of bland throwbacks. There are plenty of bands out there who do '70s prog nostalgia, and that's all well and good. But once you've established yourself as that rare band who can infuse an entirely different sort of music with the spirit of prog as opposed to its actual aesthetic and tropes, I feel like it's almost a betrayal to start aping King Crimson. I haven't heard Sorceress, and it's possible that I'll never listen to a new Opeth album again. But I'm no longer so disappointed by them that it's painful to listen to them in their prime. And Blackwater Park is Opeth in their prime. It's probably my favourite album of theirs, for the way that its songs effortlessly weave together the band's two extremes: pastoral folk and growling death metal. It's an album less interested in the middle ground than many of their others, and yet it coheres better than any of them. "The Drapery Falls" is the most obvious illustration of this, with the lighter side coming through in the details of even the track's heaviest moments. (Think of the acoustic frills in the background of the song's first heavy bit.) But it's the driving aesthetic of each of the album's main pieces ("Harvest" and "Patterns in the Ivy" being lovely in themselves, but less substantial), and that's what makes it really work. "Dirge for November" has always left me a bit unmoved — more repetitious than the other tracks, and with less inspired material to repeat — but it's the weak link among a staggeringly strong group of compositions. I didn't get far in my exploration of metal. It took me a while to warm to it, and once I did I quickly found myself more interested in other things, like Mahler and Kanye. But Blackwater Park is objectively a masterpiece, and I imagine I'll return to it periodically for the whole foreseeable future.
Leonard Cohen: You Want It Darker — I've been listening to heavy metal lately. And yet the most gothic music I've heard in recent weeks is a gospel record by an 82-year-old poet. You Want It Darker finds Cohen sounding more vampyric than ever, and offering recitations that blur the line between talking to a lover with whom things are complicated and talking to a god with whom things are complicated. The title track is the clear highlight, both musically and lyrically. The instrumental track sets the tone immediately: it's anchored by a choir, recorded distantly and with plenty of room noise. If you haven't come to this record to pray, you may be in the wrong discography. Gospel organ and murky bass guitar complete the picture, and when you feel (yes, feel) the opening words of Cohen's lyric, it's clear that we're in ritual territory. "If you are the dealer, I'm out of the game," Cohen intones, and he continues in that vein for the next 35 minutes. It's an album about fruitlessly seeking attention from personages who'd rather you left them alone. It's an album about giving up on connecting with God and your fellow man. And the irony of all this is that any reasonable music fan would not want Leonard Cohen to disengage. His god may have abandoned him, but music geeks emphatically have not. It'd be good luck for us if he does in fact turn out to be a vampire. Pick of the week.
Adam Gopnik: "Why Trump Is Different — And Must Be Repelled" — A fabulous analysis of Trump's apparently not-yet-dead campaign, which is most notable for rigorously denying the condescending narrative that Trump supporters are to be pitied for they know not what they do. It's part and parcel of the veneration of the "white working class," a group that Gopnik is careful to point out is not at all monolithic: "The white working class built unions and raised children and fought wars—and lynched black people and supported Joe McCarthy. Sometimes those attitudes could be held together in a single personality. No group is invulnerable to bad causes. We should have no hesitation in calling deplorable attitudes deplorable—without imagining that those who hold them are deplorable people. They can be wrong without being bad. And, in any case, it would be good to balance the endless hand-wringing about the pathos of the Trump voter with some countervailing sense of the pathos, still larger, of the Clinton voter: the Latina motel cleaner in Nevada or the single mother in Brooklyn. No category of voters in a democracy is especially virtuous, none immune from evil." That is a staggeringly good articulation of a thing that's extremely easy to forget.
All Songs Considered: "EL VY's Song Against Trump, New Conor Oberst, Kristin Hersh, More" — Great show. The Conor Oberst and Kristin Hersh tracks are particularly fantastic. I even went back and listened to that chunk of the show a second time. Hersh's new double album is now on my list of stuff to check out, but it unfortunately also means I have another book to read this year, because they're packaged together. Where will I find the time.
WTF with Marc Maron: "Roger Waters" — I could listen to Roger Waters talk all day. He's that rare thing: an aging baby boomer rock star with a social conscious that hasn't become an affectation. None of the requisite blandness or platitudes here. He's passionate; he has wit. He knows the power of rhetoric and employs it advisedly. He's earned his place as an intellectual among rock stars in a way that I'm not always convinced that people like Pete Townshend or Neil Young really have. He's really earnest, but you can forgive him because he's got a whole career's worth of consequential activism behind him. There are a few moments that chafe, sure. Like his slightly condescending attitude towards the underprivileged children he brings onstage during "Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2." His heart's in the right place, but it's hard to avoid the sense that he's using poor kids as props. On the other hand, his blatant refusal to allow the children of arena-owning executives onstage with him is quite charming. You can picture him flying off the handle: "They get everything! They don't get to have this!" Naturally, it's fascinating to hear Waters talk about his evolving thoughts on the dark times in Pink Floyd's tenure. Interesting that he felt condescended to by David Gilmour and Rick Wright. I find that hard to picture, somehow, and I do wonder how much of it was insecurity on Waters' part. Because, there's no denying that for all his brilliance as a songwriter, builder of musical structures and concept artist, he was the least sophisticated musician in Pink Floyd by a fair margin. (Nick Mason wasn't a great drummer, but he was a more distinctive drummer than Waters was a distinctive bassist.) And while he's right to claim that writing an opera is a real challenge and a badge of honour, it's super weird than anybody ever asked him to write music to a pre-existing opera libretto. It's the exact opposite to the appropriate task. I think he'd probably be a great librettist. He's the most sophisticated dramatist in rock music. Also, Maron is right to point out that this podcast is the appropriate venue for old rockers to read long poems. The one Waters brings out near the end of the episode is cringeworthy in places — Waters himself makes it clear that it's "doggerel," but he values it because it's heartfelt — but it's nice to have it out there. He clearly doesn't want to talk much about the past. But Maron dances around his unwillingness with more grace than he can usually conjure. This isn't as good an episode as the one with Margo Price, but Waters is a compelling guest.
Imaginary Worlds: "Caps Lock Harry" — This mini-season about Harry Potter is proving to be the best thing Eric Molinsky has done aside from his Cthulhu story. So far, he's isolated two of the most fascinating things about the series: first the implications of the Sorting Hat's logic on educational philosophy, and now the way that J.K. Rowling depicts Harry's PTSD. I wasn't one of the kids who got annoyed with Harry's moodiness and anger in Order of the Phoenix, but I do recall wishing that the literal use of caps lock would go away. But it's obviously much more meaningful to people who have experienced similar traumas to Harry. One of Molinsky's guests has an absolutely heartwrenching personal analogy to the Mirror of Erised, which has always been one of the richest, saddest elements of the Harry Potter canon. But the whole episode is full of marvellous, moving stuff. Really outstanding. Pick of the week.
Science Vs: "DNA and the Smell of Death" — Think it's time to relegate this to sometimes-listen status. While this is notable for really making Dr. Arpad Vass look horrible — this is a scientist who claims not to understand the importance of replicability in studies — I confess to finally being sick of the tone of this show. I'll listen to the season finale, and probably just drop in occasionally from there.
On the Media: "The System is Rigged" — One of the best episodes of On the Media this year. And it has been a great year. For On the Media. It brings together the two best elements of the year's coverage: Bob Garfield's critiques of how the media covered Trump during the primaries, and Brooke Gladstone's series on poverty myths. Gladstone's piece is the clear highlight here, including such great writing as the line where she characterizes the story of the modern American safety net as "the narrative equivalent of 'boom-SPLAT.'" Brilliant, sad, upsetting stuff.
Reply All: "In the Tall Grass" — I guess everything has to be about the election now. I'm not being spiteful, it just appears to be true. In keeping with that, Reply All highlights a useless app that promises to bring the country together, and a cartoonist's efforts to reclaim his cartoon frog from hateful trolls. As election-related journalism goes, it's admirably non-exhausting.
