Marc DiPaolo introduces us to Wonder Woman's creator and history and he demonstrates how she is a "WWII veteran, a feminist icon, and a sex symbol" all throughout her "career". Wonder Woman stars in multiple films and is most commonly known for her red, white and blue one piece, and her tall, sexy assertiveness. What many people don't know is that she is a big part of history in the comic and superhero world because of how her character influences real life people of all ages, sexes, ethnicities, and races. "Marston created the comic book character Wonder Woman to be both strong and sexy, as a means of encouraging woman to emulate her unapologetic assertiveness."[227] Charlotte Howell notes in her essay titled "'Tricky' Connotations: Wonder Woman as DC's Brand Disruptor" that Wonder Woman is, "inherently disruptive to masculine superhero franchise branding because, according to her creator William Moulton Marston, she was intended to be 'psychological propaganda for the new type of woman who, [he] believe[d], should rule the world.'"
After Diana's clash with Silver Swan, she goes to Greece, where Julia is staying. Here she meets Julia's friend, renowned Epigraphist Stavros Christadoulodou. Here, a conspiracy is shown to be in play with a mysterious woman behind it, dwelling in an undisclosed location, speaking to her servant Mikos about Diana's presence and how it could be a threat. A rebel group is revealed to be in existence, secretly fighting the witch's forces, headed by a man named Gregory, who had lost his son's to the witch's monsters. The witch uses her servants disguised as animals to kill her enemies in the rebel group. The rebel faction also has Katina and Spiros as it's members, actively tracking other followers of the witch and trying to keep Diana safe from harm. She goes on boat to an island called Cephalonia when she is distracted by another small island in the vicinity. She senses a strange presence in the island and is somehow attacked by it's mysterious resident psychically, as a warning, causing her to faint on the spot. In the hospital, Diana is surrounded by her friends and some wonder if it's the Magia, a curse that some believe is pure superstition. The Magia is said to come from the mysterious island, where a witch is said to exist. Diana is introduced to Theophilius Ventouras, one of the wealthiest people in the area by Julia, who is actually another pawn of the witch, and he deceives Diana and her friends into thinking the woman is actually a rich loner and there is no truth in the myths about the Magia and the Witch. Stavros meets with Gregory and is given a scroll that the faction had obtained from the island, which may contain secrets about the witch.
With Wonder Woman arriving in pursuit, Strife warned of the prophecy Apollo and Artemis feared: a child of Zeus would kill a god to take the throne. That child could be either Diana or Zola's child. Sending Zola back with Hermes to have her baby in peace, Diana warned that if they were not left alone, she would fulfil the prophecy herself. Unfortunately, upon her return to Michigan, Diana found that Hermes had betrayed them, and once Zola gave birth to her son, he whisked the child away, and gave it to Demeter. Diana swore to get the boy back and bring Hermes to justice.[25]
Various Wonder Woman enemies would debut in the comic series. Issue #1 introduced Wonder Woman's nemesis, Ares, as the embodiment of all abnormal emotions, evil, and essentially all that Wonder Woman was against. Issue #5, the character of Doctor Psycho, a murderous psychopath with an intense hatred of women, was debuted,[5] Issue #6 introduced Cheetah while issue #9 introduced Giganta. Also Issue #9 debuted Queen Clea, which would later help form the female supervillain team, Villainy Inc.. Later on Issue #49 debuted another recurring enemy, Circe.[1]
Before she was Wonder Woman, she was Diana, princess of the Amazons, trained to be an unconquerable warrior. Raised on a sheltered island paradise, when an American pilot crashes on their shores and tells of a massive conflict raging in the outside world, Diana leaves her home, convinced she can stop the threat. Fighting alongside man in a war to end all wars, Diana will discover her full powers…and her true destiny.
The princess of the Amazons, armed with superpowers of a god, Wonder Woman is one of Earth's most powerful defenders of peace, justice, and equality and a member of the Justice League. She is often considered an archetype for many non-comicbook heroines. She stands for Love and peace. Her original origin allegorically depicted her as a clay figure brought to life by the gods, but in recent years she has been depicted more literally as the daughter of Zeus and the Amazon queen Hippolyta.
On May 31, Wonder Woman was banned in Lebanon after the Campaign to Boycott Supporters of Israel asked the Lebanese government's Ministry of Economy and Trade to block the film because its star, Gal Gadot, is Israeli.[163] The Lebanese government did not ban Gadot's Fast & Furious films which did screen in Lebanon.[164][165] On June 7, Variety reported that a Tunisian court suspended the theatrical release of Wonder Woman after a lawsuit brought by the Al-Chaab party and the Tunisian Association of Young Lawyers to have the film blocked due to Gadot's Israeli citizenship, military service, and public comments in support of the Israeli military during the 2014 war in Gaza.[166] Jordan was reportedly also considering a ban of the film and suspended screenings pending a decision,[167] but on June 11, it was reported that the government decided not to do so, as there was no legal precedent for it.[168]
After the release of the 2017 film Wonder Woman, many bloggers noted what they felt made Wonder Woman a feminist icon in the film. Zoe Williams for The Guardian said, "Yes, she is sort of naked a lot of the time, but this isn't objectification so much as a cultural reset: having thighs, actual thighs you can kick things with, not thighs that look like arms, is a feminist act. The whole Diana myth, women safeguarding the world from male violence not with nurture but with better violence, is a feminist act. Casting Robin Wright as Wonder Woman's aunt, re-imagining the battle-axe as a battler with an axe, is a feminist act. A female German chemist trying to destroy humans (in the shape of Dr Poison, a proto-Mengele before Nazism existed) might be the most feminist act of all."[234] Alyssa Rosenberg for The Washington Post said, "... None of these experiences crushed me, of course, but I do wonder what it might have been like if they hadn't happened.The power of Wonder Woman, and one of the things that gives Jenkins's adaptation of the character such a lift, is in the answer to that question. Diana Prince (Gal Gadot) doesn't have any idea what women and men are — or aren't — supposed to do. Even when she does encounter other people's ideas about gender roles, she doesn't automatically accept them, and she never lets anyone stop her. And the movie goes a step further and argues that it's not merely little girls all over the world who stand to gain if they can grow up free of the distorting influence of misogyny: a world like that would be liberating and wonderful for men in lots of ways, too."[235] Emma Gray for HuffPost said, "When it comes to pop culture, we speak often about representation; the simple yet often unfulfilled idea that it matters to see someone like you fill a variety of imagined roles on screen. After awhile, these conversations almost begin to feel obvious. We know that it's good to see women and people of color and disabled people and trans people and queer people in the same numbers and variety of roles that white, cisgender, straight men have long been afforded. But what these discussions often lose is the emotional impact of finally seeing something you may have never even realized you were missing. For many women viewers, "Wonder Woman" filled a hole they didn't know they had." [236]
"Not even girls want to be girls so long as our feminine archetype lacks force, strength, and power. Not wanting to be girls, they don't want to be tender, submissive, peace-loving as good women are. Women' s strong qualities have become despised because of their weakness. The obvious remedy is to create a feminine character with all the strength of Superman plus all the allure of a good and beautiful woman."
In 1972, just months after the groundbreaking US Supreme Court decision Roe v. Wade, science fiction author Samuel R. Delany had planned a story for Ms. that culminated in a plainsclothes Wonder Woman protecting an abortion clinic. However, Steinem disapproved of Wonder Woman being out of costume, and the controversial story line never happened.[222]
of the Gods" under Themyscira and beyond Doom's Doorway. Diana not only succeeds in the challenge, but also rescues Heracles, who had been there for the past three thousand years suffering eternal punishment with the help of Hippolyta, who had followed her daughter. Diana also meets the spirit of Diana Trevor, Steve Trevor's mother (after whom she has been named) who had
Wonder Woman gets a little jealous with Supergirl's arrival, believing she is trying to catch everyone's attention. When she realized that Supergirl is actually a better superhero because she looks up to Wonder Woman, they became friends and Wonder Woman helps to train Supergirl. She is among the heroes to battle against Granny Goodness and the Female Furies. She is voiced by Grey Griffin.
Impressed by this unknown woman's self-sacrifice, the Amazons entombed her with honors and clothed her in armor displaying the American flag pattern on her uniform, which they assumed were her heraldic colors.[37] Trevor's legacy was also the primary reason why Ares arranged for Steve Trevor to bomb the island, as he could not resist the irony of the heroine's son unwittingly killing her admirers.[37]
Gaines decided he needed another expert. He turned to Lauretta Bender, an associate professor of psychiatry at New York University's medical school and a senior psychiatrist at Bellevue Hospital, where she was director of the children's ward, an expert on aggression. She'd long been interested in comics but her interest had grown in 1940, after her husband, Paul Schilder, was killed by a car while walking home from visiting Bender and their 8-day-old daughter in the hospital. Bender, left with three children under the age of 3, soon became painfully interested in studying how children cope with trauma. In 1940, she conducted a study with Reginald Lourie, a medical resident under her supervision, investigating the effect of comics on four children brought to Bellevue Hospital for behavioral problems. Tessie, 12, had witnessed her father, a convicted murderer, kill himself. She insisted on calling herself Shiera, after a comic-book girl who is always rescued at the last minute by the Flash. Kenneth, 11, had been raped. He was frantic unless medicated or "wearing a Superman cape." He felt safe in it—he could fly away if he wanted to—and "he felt that the cape protected him from an assault." Bender and Lourie concluded the comic books were "the folklore of this age," and worked, culturally, the same way fables and fairy tales did.

Home/Manufactured Home Article/Red Dawn Email Head-fake – Life, Death, Resurrection and Rebirth – COVID-19 Complexities Impact Manufactured Homeowners, Affordable Housing Seekers, Religious and Other Groups – Easter Sunday Warning by AG William Barr
Red Dawn Email Head-fake – Life, Death, Resurrection and Rebirth – COVID-19 Complexities Impact Manufactured Homeowners, Affordable Housing Seekers, Religious and Other Groups – Easter Sunday Warning by AG William Barr
Justice Department (DOJ) spokesperson Kerri Kupec said on Saturday 4.11.2020 at 8:01 PM to expect action by Attorney General (AG) William Barr on issues relating to possible violations of religious rights.
The partial shutdown of wide parts of the United States, orders limiting the size of gatherings, over 16 million thrown out of work in just 3 weeks has created an unprecedented array of complex issues on this Easter Sunday. Local, state, federal and international actions have literally impacted or upended hundreds of millions of lives in the U.S., and billions globally.
The Kaiser Health News and more recently the New York Times have reported on a "bombshell" email chain dated from late February 2020 that included a range of American public and health officials. While valid arguments can be made that other preventative steps could have been taken, that must be placed in a broader context of other known facts inside the U.S., the international community and a timeline of events.
As the New York Times (NYT) framed those late February 2020 emails, "Even after Mr. Trump took his first concrete action at the end of January — limiting travel from China — public health often had to compete with economic and political considerations in internal debates."
But that NYT statement ignores the point that Chinese public officials and the World Health Organization (WHO) – among others – issued false and misleading information weeks earlier. As will be examined in this report further below, had those international sources responded accurately and timely, there would have been no need for the "Red Dawn Breaking Bad" emails in the first place.
Around the World and here in the U.S.
Meanwhile, reports out of Iran today indicate that the numbers of deaths there are far worse than their government has admitted. The stench of death is unbearable for many in places where the dead are gathered, because they can't be buried fast enough – per sources inside that nation to MHLivingNews.
Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei encouraged Iranians to pray at home during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. Ramadan 2020 begins in the evening of Thursday, April 23 and ends in the evening of Saturday, May 23. There are about 1.8 billion Muslims world-wide, according to Wikipedia. Iran is to a significant degree of client state of China and Russia.
This is Passover for Jews which began on the evening of Wednesday, April 8 and ends in the evening of Thursday, April 16. Synagogues around the world have routinely been closed. There are some 14.6 million Jews on earth, per that same source.
Wikipedia estimates that there are some 2.4 billion Christians world-wide. Hundreds of millions won't have in-person access to their places of worship, which is true for other faith groups too. There is no time in modern history since the Spanish flu pandemic that more places of worship have been closed for public health issues. Some say the Spanish flu virus is misnamed because it started in Austria as early as 1917; but is generally acknowledged to have raged from 1918 to 1920. Estimates of the total death toll of that contagion are generally thought to be 50 to 100 million people when world population was about 1.8 billion. That would be some 2.77 percent to about 5.56 percent of the world's population died from that one disease, far more than 40 million military and civilian deaths during World War I.
The Trump Administration, Congress and other governmental entities have attempted to address some of these issues in a variety of ways. Given how slowly government often moves, in some respects the undertaking has been faster than normal. But that doesn't mean the response by public officials was fast enough. Which begs the question, why wasn't action taken more swiftly?
There are several lawsuits already launched in states like California, Florida and Texas that blame the Chinese Communist government for coverups of the pandemic that had they warned the world earlier could have spared our nation and others as yet untold suffering and lives lost. Those lawsuits top an estimated $25 trillion dollars in total claimed damages. Of course, such litigation could take years.
The Chinese strongly deny that they covered up and have floated the allegation from various communist government officials that the U.S. planted the virus in Wuhan, China last year. Push back on that claim caused President Trump to periodically refer to the coronavirus as the China or Chinese virus, while making it plain that he doesn't blame the people of China – which points the finger at their government. The anti-Chinese Communist Party (CCP) internal news publication, the Epoch Times has labeled the pandemic as the CCP Virus.
ABC News and other media outlets have reported that as soon as late November, 2019 U.S. intelligence sources had indications of the outbreak in China and signs of a coverup. It wasn't until early January, said ABC's sources, that the reports made it into the president's daily intelligence briefing.
If so, that means that the damage was already done, according to medical researchers in England's Southampton University.
Despite the anti-Trump slant in the report mentioned above, President Trump's concerns about the World Health Organization's (WHO) role in this pandemic deserves attention. The WHO tweeted the following, which to the degree it was trusted by the Trump Administration's medical advisors, mislead leading officials.
In any event, the Pentagon issued a strong denial of the report by ABC News in these terms. "As a matter of practice the National Center for Medical Intelligence does not comment publicly on specific intelligence matters. However, in the interest of transparency during this current public health crisis, we can confirm that media reporting about the existence/release of a National Center for Medical Intelligence Coronavirus-related product/assessment in November of 2019 is not correct. No such NCMI product exists," the statement said.
But there are other issues that domestic and international sources such as India Today have reported.
The United States is "deeply disturbed that Taiwan's information was withheld from the global health community, as reflected in the WHO's January 14, 2020 statement that there was no indication of human-to-human transmission," a State Department spokesperson said.
"The WHO once again chose politics over public health," she said, criticizing the WHO for denying Taiwan even observer status since 2016.
The WHO's actions have "cost time and lives," the spokesperson said.
Taiwan, which has succeeded in limiting the virus to just five deaths despite the island's proximity and ties with China, warned the WHO on December 31 of human-to-human transmission, Vice President Chen Chien-Jen has said.
Chen, an epidemiologist, told the Financial Times that Taiwanese doctors had learned that colleagues in Wuhan were falling ill but that the WHO did not work to confirm the finding.
Put differently, informed sources in the U.S. and abroad argue that both China and the WHO have responsibility in this matter. But are there additional problematic players in this mix?
First, a report out of the U.K. Daily Mail on 4.12.2020 made these bullet-points.
The US National Institutes of Health, a government agency, awarded a $3.7million research grant to the Wuhan Institute of Virology
The lab is the center of several conspiracy theories that suggest it is the original source of the coronavirus outbreak
The institute experimented on bats from the source of the coronavirus
They were captured more than 1,000 miles away in Yunnan
Sequencing of the Covid-19 genome has traced it to bats to Yunnan's caves
The U.S. government funded research on coronavirus transmission in the lab over the past decade
The Daily Mail quotes Congressman Matt Gaetz (FL-R) saying: "I'm disgusted to learn that for years the US government has been funding dangerous and cruel animal experiments at the Wuhan Institute, which may have contributed to the global spread of coronavirus, and research at other labs in China that have virtually no oversight from US authorities."
The Mail cited documents in their possession Sunday that indicates that scientists at the Wuhan Institute of Virology experimented on bats as part of a project funded by the US National Institutes of Health (NIH), which continues to license the Wuhan laboratory to receive American money for experiments.
NIH is a key agency of the United States government for biomedical and public health research. The Wuhan Institute of Virology's English website on 4.12.2020 lists numerous nations and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) as partners, including the following. The lists begins with those in the U.S. and ends with a key NGO that MHLivingNews will spotlight.

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has reportedly donated more money to the WHO than almost any group, and more than many countries.
When funding is given to an organization, a standard condition for donations would include routine reporting.
Bill Gates, until just a few weeks ago, sat on the Board of Directors of Warren Buffett led Berkshire Hathaway. The screen capture below is from Berkshire's most recent annual report to shareholders
Gates recently left the Berkshire board, since their 2019 annual report released in 2020 was published.
That begs the question, at what point did Gates, Buffett or other billionaires who have significant investments in China know about the outbreak in Wuhan?
Rev's transcript of a Donald Trump rally in Des Moines Iowa was cited by right-of-center Breitbart as among their reason for labeling the NYTimes "Red Dawn Breaking Bad" claims "mostly false."
Rev's transcript dated 1.30.2020 – just a day before the president ordered travel from China to be stopped – said in part: "Hopefully it's all going to be great. … but it's something that we have to be very, very careful with." The president has often followed that pattern of commenting on developing events for some years, of being hopeful on the one hand but at the same time cautioning that matters might turn out differently. That too undercuts claims by left-of-center media sources like the New York Times or CNN that has tried to frame events as presidential errors by Trump.
Soaring Health and Economic Impact in the U.S.
In the last 3 weeks, over 16 million Americans have filed for unemployment. That unemployment was routinely sparked by companies that had to lay off workers due to various local, state or federal guidance or orders. An economy that had over 7 million job openings in February 2020 suddenly has millions out of work. It is the worst reversal ever in America, far faster than was what reported during the Great Depression or the Great Recession.
Right-of-center Fox News Channel (FNC) cablecast "Watters' World," on 4.11.2020 featured National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director Anthony Fauci. Dr. Fauci said misinformation came out of China when the coronavirus outbreak began.
When Watters asked if China misled the world, Dr. Fauci said, "You know I don't know where missteps went. Only thing I know with the end result was that early on we did not get correct information. And the incorrect information was propagated right from the beginning because you know when the first cases came out that were identified, I think on December 31st, in China, and we became aware of this, they said this was just animal to human period."
Fauci added, "Now we know retrospectively that there was an ongoing transmission from human to human in China probably at least a few week before then. And then when we finally did get the virus here it became clear when he started looking at what was going on that that was misinformation right from the beginning. So who's ever faults that was, you know, we're going back to take a look at that when this is all over but clearly not right information that was given to us."
To sum up to this point in the report, consider the following.
ABC News claims sources that point to an outbreak date identified by U.S. intelligence in November of 2019. The Pentagon denied those claims.
The U.K. Daily Mail points out that U.S. other nations, and NGOs have funded the Wuhan Virology lab. Evidence is mounting that Senator Tom Cotton (AR-R) could have been correct in saying that lab – not the wet market in Wuhan – was the source of the outbreak of the contagion.
The WHO backed China's claim that there was no human to human transmission.
The WHO has funding from the U.S., numerous nations, the U.N. and NGOs that include the Gates Foundation.
The experience of Taiwan, the Republic of China that is not under the control of the mainland communist regime in Beijing demonstrates that the virus could have largely been contained.
The WHO ignored Taiwan's warnings that the virus could be transmitted from human-to-human.
The University of Southampton in England did research that had proper warnings occurred early enough and had they been acted upon, up to 95 percent of the contagion's impact could have been prevented.
The low infection rate experience of Taiwan/the Republic of China (ROC) underscores the claims made by Southampton research. The ROC is in very close proximity, just off the mainland of Communist China, which goes by their official name of the People's Republic of China (PRC).
There is more that can and should be underscored. For example, there was a report from a Congressional hearing published in July 31, 2019 by the "U.S.-China Economic And Security Review Commission." They found that the U.S. had become dangerously dependent on China. It mentions that the passage of the Affordable Care Act during the Obama Administration played a role in causing more medical and pharmaceutical supply chains to move to China. On page 184 Commissioner Michael R. Wessel made that point.
The USCC webpage that has his profile says "Commissioner Michael R. Wessel, an original member of the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission, was reappointed by House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi for a term expiring on December 31, 2021. Commissioner Wessel served on the staff of former House Democratic Leader Richard Gephardt for more than two decades, leaving his position as general counsel in March 1998."
Let's briefly note that in 2019, a dozen states, certain other jurisdictions, cities and the federal government participated in a pandemic response exercise that the New York Times also reported on. Its name was "Crimson Contagion." The Congress was briefed on that in the written testimony delivered on December 4, 2019 by Robert Kadlec, MD. Kadlec's title is the "Assistant Secretary For Preparedness and Response." That document is found at this link here.
The opening remarks said, "I am Dr. Bob Kadlec, the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR) at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Today, I will provide background about how ASPR is partnering with the private sector to develop influenza vaccines, antivirals, and diagnostics to ensure we are as prepared for both seasonal as well as pandemic influenza. I will also provide an overview of the current challenges we face in preparedness due to dependence on active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) and other raw materials manufactured in other countries." The testimony arguably puts a different slant on the Crimson Contagion exercise than the NYTimes did. Congress was briefed by Kadlec a Republican who served both GOP and Democratic presidents. While no doubt Trump Administration officials knew of the drill and were part of it, no public leader can make decisions based on information that is either incomplete or late. If indeed ABC News is correct in saying that U.S. intelligence knew of the COVID-19 outbreak in late November 2019 – which seems plausible – then the Crimson Contagion briefing of Congress on 12.4.2019 was already too late.
As a last but not to be overlooked point on the timeline, while Democrats were busy doing an almost entirely partisan impeachment of President Trump, a pandemic was developing in Wuhan, China that spread to the U.S. and over 180 nations and territories around the world.
Rephrasing the above, if finger point is the goal, then there are a variety of errors in the U.S. – recent or that date back decades – on the issue of handling pandemics that covers Democratic and Republican party leaders.
Setting politics and government aside, not to be overlooked are the fingerprints of the Gates Foundation, which arguably knew early on what was occurring in China. That concern would be based upon the Gates Foundation's funding of WHO and Bill Gates' years of discussing the risks of this very type of contagion. Are prudent people going to think that Gates knew nothing as this was developing? Perhaps he or others at the Gates Foundation knew early enough to have headed off these massively harmful consequences?
Unlike a government, where there are tugs of war and conflicting pressure groups at work, a business leader often has far greater ability to act swiftly.
Why would Gates or others have allowed this outbreak in China to proceed without giving the world a proper warning? A case could be made that this is the largest transfer of wealth in human history. That transfer of wealth that is occurring is from the wealth that's been lost in America or abroad in markets where equities are being acquired at discounted valuations by often uber-wealthy people, large corporate interests and China itself.
There will be time to explore those alleged concerns. Let's pivot now to Easter Sunday.
Easter in a Pandemic
The high Christian holy days which culminates in Easter, along with the Jewish Passover or the upcoming Muslim season of Ramadan, are among the faiths that have been impacted by this pandemic.
While billions are finding comfort in their faiths, others wonder — where is God during this viral outbreak?
That's an ever-timely question – not only during this crimson contagion, but on any day or time when earthly concerns weigh us down.
First, it is self-evident that billions of people have free will. We all make choices of all kinds, day-by-day.
Unless someone is coerced, forced or mislead into doing something, we therefore have a measure of responsibility for our actions. All human law is based upon that nation.
There are not only historical but more "scientific," medical and other rational evidence for belief in God.
Once jaded and committed atheistic reporter Lee Strobel worked for a prominent Chicago newspaper. . Strobel was forced by events that caused his wife to become a Christian to attempt to disprove the truths of the claims of believers, because he desperately wanted to talk his wife out of being a Christian.
Millions who know of the life of Strobel – including those who have already seen the movie posted above – know that he took a systematic approach that included archeological, medical, psychological, historical and other arguments made by skeptics used in an attempt to disprove the Resurrection of Christ. As a fellow reporter and character in the movie said, if you can disprove the resurrection, the rest of Christian belief falls apart.
Strobel's search included an examination of information about the world-famous so-called Shroud of Turin. That shroud is said to be the burial clout of Jesus recorded in the Biblical Gospel accounts. As the ABC News report below reflects, there is evidence that the Shroud is genuine.
Some doubt the existence of beings that they can't see or touch. In the video clip from A&E's series Ghost Hunters, they visited "The Most Haunted Town You Have Never Heard Of…" As a disclosure, one of those featured in this video clip is A'kos Kovach, the older brother of this writer.
A fair take of the above is that there has long been evidence and discussion that dates back centuries of beings that have no body. There are billions living today who practices a faith tradition that believes that the body is animated by an invisible "soul."
Put differently, there are strong rationale reasons to believe what Christians – or other faiths that believe in God and the soul – profess.
Why does this matter to those living in manufactured homes? The better question is, why doesn't it matter to everyone, including those who live in or desire their own manufactured home?
What's wrong is that we don't ask what's right.
Human laws are important. Ideally, all law should be based upon the moral law, as best summed up in the Ten Commandments. Jews and Christian alike hold to those commandments. Other faith traditions have some similar beliefs.
The commandments are not socialistic, they protect private property rights. The commandments also honor the family, marriage and most obviously, God as Creator of all that exists.
God didn't need creation, which believers say the Almighty predates. Why did God create? Out of pure love.

Human law has limitations, as those in the trenches of fighting for the rights of those who want affordable housing and manufactured homeowners already know. Drifting away from God in society has arguably contributed to the problems our society has today. Easter and all holy days are good times to reflect on how very different the world would be if more people understood, embraced and practiced the revealed teachings of God.

Connections of Osana are hoping that the star hurdler can join the likes of Comedy Of Errors, Bird's Nest and Relkeel by winning the £200,000 Grade Two Boylesports.com International for a second successive year at Cheltenham on Saturday, December 13, day two of the Boylesports International.
The David Pipe-trained six-year-old made every yard of the running in the two mile, one furlong contest last year to record a comprehensive eight-length victory over Katchit.
He returned to Cheltenham for The Festival in March and ran another superb race to finish the length runner-up to Katchit in the Grade One Smurfit Kappa Champion Hurdle before finishing his season with another second, this time to Al Eile, in the Grade One Aintree Hurdle at the Grand National meeting. Katchit is also expected to head to the Boylesports.com International on December 13 and a mouth-watering rematch is in prospect.
Michael Goodbody, racing manager to Osana's owner Thomas Barr, commented: "It's very much the plan for Osana to run in the Boylesports.com International. He's fine and we hope he will run to the same level he produced last season.
"We were delighted with his victory in last year's race. He had run so well under top weight in the Greatwood Hurdle at The Open (when second to Sizing Europe) that we decided to let him run in the Boylesports.com International and it worked out extremely well.
"Obviously, when he won, we had to seriously consider returning for The Festival because it was really the only option. He ran a very good race in the Smurfit Kappa Champion Hurdle and then it was Al Eile's race to win at Aintree. Osana's been very consistent and we cannot complain.
"It's very competitive when you get to the highest level and there are several good hurdlers coming through this season, just like we did last year. There's always something that will come out of the pack and you never know what's going to happen in the top league.
The Boylesports.com International is the third-richest hurdle race in Britain and Ireland. Only the Smurfit Kappa Champion Hurdle and the Ladbrokes World Hurdle at The Festival in March are worth more.
Underscoring the importance of this event is a £200,000 bonus payment offered by Boylesports for any horse winning both the Boylesports.com International and the Smurfit Kappa Champion Hurdle in the same season. If won, this will be split £180,000 for the owner, £10,000 for the trainer and £10,000 for the successful yard's stable staff. Rooster Booster won both contests in the 2002/03 season, as did Salmon Spray (1965/66 season) and Comedy Of Errors (1974/75 season).
The two-day Boylesports International also features the £150,000 Boylesports.com Gold Cup on Saturday, December 13, while on Friday, December 12, the £100,000 Boylesports.com Cashback Chase takes centre stage. Friday also sees the £22,500 Glenfarclas Cross Country Handicap Steeple Chase over Cheltenham's unique Cross Country course.
Other highlights include the £45,000 Grade Two "Relkeel" Hurdle on the Saturday, and the £30,000 Grade Two Albert Bartlett Novices' Hurdle on the same day.

Q: jQuery AJAX POST data not getting to PHP I have an AJAX call that is not sending information over to the server from the data parameter. I confirmed it's being recognized as a POST request with my PHP code below. You will notice my var_dump($_POST) does not contain the 'myData' data. I'm not sure where to go from here.
JavaScript
$.ajax({

    data : {
        'myData' : 'myData'

},
error: function (req, msg, obj) {
  console.log('An error occured while executing a request');
  console.log('Error: ' + msg);
}
});

PHP
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
echo var_dump($_POST);
}

Console.log
here are the results: array(1) { ["phpURI"]=> unicode(33) "php/main.php?

Thanks!

A: Your AJAX request is posting JSON data due to the Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8 header.
If you just delete that line, $.ajax defaults to application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8, which should cause PHP to put it into $_POST as key-value pairs.

When Young People Insult Their Elders — Emmanuel Ojeifo
By Ikenga Chronicles April 18, 2016
"I fear the day that technology will surpass our human interaction. The world will have a generation of idiots." – Albert Einstein
— Emmanuel Ojeifo
I have been on Facebook since 2009, and I can bet that being on social media is a highly rewarding enterprise. The sheer volume of information available on social media, the ease of movement of ideas and the huge traffic of cultured and well-mannered people that we connect with every day on the platform present the enriching side of social media. Social media can also be a huge asset for mobilising people around a worthy cause. Many people still remember the monumental impact of social media in the success of the Arab Spring of 2011. People promoting philanthropic causes today also find social media a blessing in their outreach to millions of people.
But there is another side of social media. Much of social media today is a breeding ground for the dissemination of lies, bad news, scams, pornography and all sorts of obscenities. Some people have read breaking news of their own obituaries on social media when they are still alive. On Facebook, amateurish comedians and wannabe cartoonists have turned humour into a social art for hurting people's religious sentiments and provoking ethnic prejudices, thereby fanning the embers of hate, bitterness and resentment. Anyone who wishes to retain a vestige of moral sanity will certainly find it an uphill task to safely navigate the murky waters of social media today without being contaminated by the decay of language that has polluted our public vocabulary.
However, the most disturbing aspect of the situation is that many young people today have turned socio-political activism on social media into an art for insulting their elders and for making caricatures of political, religious and traditional leaders. Many years ago, Chinua Achebe argued that if you want to know how orderly and civilised a society is, just watch how people drive on the road. The recklessness and lawlessness that has come to characterise driving on Nigerian roads, seem to me, an apt analogy for the reckless manner in which public discourse is conducted today on social media.
For better or for worse we can now observe the unbridled behaviour of so many people on social media doing indecent things that catch their fancy. The pristine values of discretion and discernment are steadily depleting. The tidal wave of modern information and communication technology has succeeded in sweeping us off our feet. People of all ages now find themselves driving on new technological highways without having the proper formation. If the Internet was already addictive when we were surfing on our desktop at home or on our laptop at work, today we now carry the addiction in our pockets, our smartphones. Interestingly, while everyone is getting a smartphone, the reality of the situation is that not everyone is getting smarter.
The ethical side of the problem is that we are living in a country where there are no common values by which we can all agree on what is right and what is wrong. When you attempt to raise issues with a Nigerian, especially on social media, the tendency is for the real substance of the matter to be lost in the haystack of prejudice. However valid your facts or your arguments, you are quickly labelled as a bigot. It is here that you see how wildly emotive Nigerians can be. The individual may not proffer any superior argument to trump yours, but will simply substitute sound reasoning with verbal gymnastics, casting venomous aspersion on your personality.
In logical reasoning, this fallacy is called "argumentum ad hominem," a Latin phrase which means responding to arguments by attacking a person's character, rather than addressing the content of their arguments. This is especially common among people who are intolerant of criticism, and in these days of polarised public discourses, one only needs to follow the trends on social media to get a feel of how much rot and vulgar verbal exchanges have infested our public vocabulary. Thomas Friedman, a three-time Pulitzer Prize-winning American journalist, was right when he said that in today's world of social media, "Everybody is connected, and nobody is in control."
On account of the foul language that has infested cyberspace, many people have refrained from signing on to any interactive social media network. While I understand with this category of people, I have always reasoned that if a writer chooses to opt out of public discourse for fear of bruising his ego or for the sake of maintaining a good reputation, he would be failing in his duty to society. In the same way, if good people refrain from entering into social media, they invariably surrender their responsibility to positively influence the use of these media by allowing the bad people to hijack the system for their banal purposes.
I believe that words are very powerful. They have the capacity to inspire and to uplift, but they also have the capacity to hurt and to denigrate. We, therefore, have a moral obligation to jealousy guard what we write and post on social media. Parents, schools, and religious institutions need to teach our children and young people how to talk sensibly and reasonably. Foul language and reckless public behaviour are evident signs of bad home training, poor civics and the breakdown of a sound ethical culture. In conducting public discourse, we can have good reasons to disagree with our leaders, but we have to do that respectfully. I don't know how young people will feel if their own biological parents were insulted the way they insult their own leaders on social media. The admonition of Saint Paul in Ephesians 4:29 is therefore, the challenge before us: "Do not let even one bad word come from your mouth, but only good words that will encourage when necessary and be helpful to those who hear you."

HUNGRY TWINK TOP
Austin loves the attention he gets from the bigger guys around him, especially now that he's more inclined to be the one on top! But what's really exciting is how this kind of attention can come from even the most unexpected of encounters…
At nearly seven feet tall with a lean frame, handsome face, and wide hands, Coach August is a big guy! It's no wonder, then, that he's responsible for much of the physical therapy the young athletes go through in the course of their training. A strained muscle here or there can be really damaging, and August's long, strong fingers know just how to work out the most severe tension.
Austin hadn't had his body worked over in a while, so he booked some time with the tall coach to get some much needed relief. And " leg cramp" seemed as good a reason as any to get on the older man's massage table!
As soon as August's hands touched Austin's skin, the young man felt completely at ease. The slick oil moved over his flesh, giving August the smooth pressure needed to make Austin's legs melt. As he moved up closer to Austin's butt, August could tell Austin was getting a little worked up from his massage…
Austin's building erection became difficult to hide in his small briefs. He didn't intend to get aroused, but August was very good at what he was doing! And Austin couldn't resist the sight of a sexy coach with a whistle.
August knew he wasn't going to get where he needed to go while the boy kept his shorts on. He helped him up to peel them off, but he found himself distracted by the boy's smooth skin, lean body, and overflowing bulge. His hands lost track of their work and his eyes locked on to his cock as he grew increasingly desperate for a taste.
It didn't take much for Austin's cock to fall out of his shorts and into August's mouth. The young man didn't seem to mind, growing increasingly hard as August began to swallow his meat down. And when Austin looked down, he could see August's massive cock falling out of his shorts as well!
The two men took off what little clothing they had on, leaving them completely stripped and exposed to each other for the first time. Austin watched as August lied back on the massage table, spreading his long legs apart for him. Without saying a word, instinct kicked in and Austin mounted up behind him, readying himself to take the big man's bare ass…
Austin is a sexy, little guy with almost no hair on his body, except for what grows on his head! And given how much he likes bottoming, he didn't mind the presumption that he would bottom whenever he had sex. He was, in fact, very happy taking big cocks up the ass! But despite stereotypes about his size and tight-bodied twink physique, one day while watching porn, he found himself unexpectedly getting turned on by the thought of topping.
Watching sexy daddies fuck smooth little twinks, Austin got horny for the big, muscle butts of the daddies. Even as they were fucking the whimpering little guys, he didn't just admire their strength and size, he imagined what it would be like to feel his cock slide into those beefy asses. And suddenly he wanted nothing more than to give it a try! Austin has had a lot of fun pumping young loads into sexy men who love taking a good pounding from this little twink top!
COACH AUGUST
At nearly seven feet tall with a lean frame, handsome face, and wide hands, Coach August is a big guy! It's no wonder, then, that he's responsible for much of the physical therapy the young athletes go through in the course of their training. A strained muscle here or there can be really damaging, and August's long, strong fingers know just how to work out the most severe tension!
And while he's used to getting attention for his size and huge, swinging dick, he can't help but admire the smaller, handsome twinks that come by his table. When his hands work over their legs and loins, he's tempted to lean down and go in for a taste of their cock… And even take it up his firm ass!


The chairman of the Osun State Elections Petitions Tribunal in Abuja has delivered a dissenting judgement within the Osun State governorship election petition.
Justice Muhammed Ibrahim Sirajo on Friday dismissed the petition by the Peoples Democratic Get together (PDP) and its governorship candidate, Ademola Adeleke, which alleged that there was election non-compliance with the Electoral Act within the election.
Justice Sirajo dominated that the petitioners didn't show the claims on the tribunal.
He added that underneath Part 140(3) of the Electoral Act, the place substantial non compliance is proved, the tribunal can solely order a supplementary or contemporary election.
The chairman nevertheless adviced INEC to solely adjust to the bulk choices concurrently delivered by Justices Peter Chudi Obiorah and Adegboye Ayinla Gbolagunte.
The primary judgment of the panel had invalidated the rerun election of September 27, 2018 which returned Governor Gboyega Oyetola as winner and withdrew the certificates of return issued to him by INEC.

American singer Christina Aguilera has released nine studio albums, two extended plays (EPs), six compilation albums, one soundtrack album, 54 singles (including eight as featured artist), and 17 promotional singles. To date, Aguilera has sold around 90 to 100 million records worldwide, making her one of the best-selling female music artist of all time. Billboard ranked Aguilera as the 37th Greatest Hot 100 Women of All Time and the 44th Greatest Billboard 200 Women of All Time. In the United States alone, Aguilera has sold 18.3 million albums. Through the RIAA she has 16.5 million certified albums units and 10 million certified digital singles units.
 Aguilera is recognized as the 20th best-selling artist of the 2000s. She has also achieved 10 number one hits on Billboards Dance Club Songs.
In the United Kingdom, Aguilera has sold over 3.3 million albums and 6.1 million singles.

Aguilera made her musical debut in 1998 with a cover of "Reflection", the theme song for Disney's Mulan. Consequently, Aguilera signed a multi-album contract with RCA Records and released her self-titled debut album in 1999. It debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 chart and produced the singles "Genie in a Bottle", "What a Girl Wants", "I Turn to You" and "Come On Over Baby (All I Want Is You)". The lead single, "Genie in a Bottle", became a commercial success, peaking the top spot of the US Billboard Hot 100 for five weeks and became the biggest hit of the summer of 1999. Christina Aguilera has sold over 14 million copies worldwide.

Aguilera's two next studio albums, Mi Reflejo and My Kind of Christmas, were both released in 2000. In 2001, she recorded two singles: "Nobody Wants to Be Lonely" with Ricky Martin from the latter's Sound Loaded, and "Lady Marmalade" with Mýa, Lil' Kim and Pink for Moulin Rouge! The latter was an international hit, peaking at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 for five consecutive weeks, becoming the most successful airplay-only single in history. Aguilera's fourth studio album, Stripped (2002), was intended to reflect her "real" personality. It debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 chart and spawned the successful singles "Dirrty", "Beautiful", "Fighter", "Can't Hold Us Down" and "The Voice Within". Stripped has since sold over 12 million copies worldwide.

Aguilera's fifth studio album, Back to Basics (2006), is a dual disc album and was inspired by 1930s and 1940s jazz, blues and soul. It yielded the international top-ten hits "Ain't No Other Man", "Hurt" and "Candyman". As of November 2013, Back to Basics has sold over 5 million units. Aguilera's first greatest hits album, Keeps Gettin' Better: A Decade of Hits, was released in 2008 and featured one single, "Keeps Gettin' Better". "Keeps Gettin' Better" became her biggest debut on the Billboard Hot 100, entering the chart at number seven in 2008. Aguilera's sixth and seventh studio albums, Bionic (2010) and Lotus (2012), both struggled to match the chart impact and sales of her previous albums. From 2011 to 2013, Aguilera appeared on tracks including "Moves like Jagger", "Feel This Moment" and "Say Something", all of which are top-ten hits worldwide. With "Moves like Jagger" topping the US Billboard Hot 100 in 2011, Aguilera became the fourth female artist to top the chart in three consecutive decades (1990s, 2000s, and 2010s).

From 2013 to 2015, Aguilera released a string of singles including "We Remain", "Change" and "Telepathy". After a brief hiatus, Aguilera released her eighth studio album Liberation on June 15, 2018. The album was preceded by the singles "Accelerate", "Fall in Line" and "Like I Do", and the promotional single, "Twice". The album received positive acclaim and earned two Grammy Award nominations. In 2020, she re-recorded "Reflection" for the 2020 live adaption of Mulan alongside a new song, "Loyal Brave True", which was shortlisted for an Academy Award for Best Original Song. In 2021, Aguilera announced that she was working on a follow-up Spanish album to her 2000 Mi Reflejo. She released her ninth studio album Aguilera on May 31, 2022. The album was released in three parts: La Fuerza, La Tormenta and La Luz.

We Narrowly Avoid Bankruptcy - Industries Of Titan - 2
by Antifreeze
by: Antifreeze
I've never been so poor.
I bought something I can't afford
Most people can relate with a new car
But this is more value by far.
It's not a material thing,
It's not something i can easily explain.
It's about her i could never forget
Wondering daily how she got me in debt.
Will I ever be the one
And if I was, would I be her last?
What a price I paid, fall in love with you.
My credit is shot,
But no worries, I've got what I want.
I know that i don't deserve you,
But it's better than being apart.
Maybe someday,
I'll change my ways.
The only thing that separates me from the rest,
Are all of the lies I have told.
I've never been so poor,
I bought something I can't afford.
Most people can relate with the problems,
But I've got more problems by far.
What a price I paid.

Picnic Time Productions can provide more than just creative cuisine and friendly, efficient service. Our experienced picnic planners can coordinate virtually any of your special event needs: games and team building, theme development, equipment rentals, décor and props, entertainment, and giveaways…whatever you need to make your picnic a success.
Besides great food, the most important element of a great company picnic is Fun, Fun, Fun! Besides our Free Fun Zone included on all of our staff picnics, there are lots of available options.
Olympic Games and Relays are always great team builders for a company picnic. We can coordinate the games and optional prizes. They are not only terrific ice breakers but really get people to work together: a great company morale booster!
Bands and DJs are always popular but there are many other forms of entertainment to add to your event: face painters and balloon artists for the children, magicians and jugglers for the whole family, stilt walkers, costumed characters, dancers, casinos, etc.
When you want the experience to be out of this world... Picnic Time Productions can coordinate backdrops, props, and staging to carry out the theme of your next corporate picnic like "Meet Me at the Oasis" with snake charmers, belly dancers, life-size camels and monkeys, pyramids, a casbah casino, and camel races. For any theme, we can provide a picnic experience your guests will remember for years to come!
Your picnic site may have it all or nothing. No problem. We can plan it, diagram it, and get it there: tables, chairs, staging, tents, barbecues, portable bathrooms, garbage cans and dumpsters--whatever you need to make your event a success.
While t-shirts, hats, and glasses are always big hits, many of our themed picnics want to give a coordinated give-away to each of the guests - an item which often contains the company logo. For example, a spaceship radio for a galactic event, a beach towel for a "Water-ful Life", or an insulated lunch pack for a "Down the Mississippi" picnic. All we need is a budget and your theme!
Here are just a few of the games you can add to your picnic fun!
Relay Games (photo) Facilitated relay games featuring sack race, tug o' war, spoon relay, parachute play, hula-hoop relay, and bat racing – fun for the whole family!

Coptic Hymns & Language
Why do we celebrate the feast of the Nativity on the 7th of January, while some other churches celebrate it on the 25th of December. What is the reason for this difference?
It is not a doctrinal or a theological difference, but it is a scientific difference.
It is known that the year is 365 days and a quarter of a day. Therefore a day is added once every four years; and the year is called a leap year. But in the Gregorian western calendar, it has been said that the year is 365 days and a quarter of a day and approximately 11 minutes. This calendar was established about fifteen centuries AD.
If this difference of eleven minutes every year, is multiplied during those centuries since the birth of Christ until now, it will result into a difference of approximately thirteen days which is the difference between the 25th of December and the 7th of January.
We have confidence in our Coptic calendar, because of the great excellence of the Pharaohs in the science of astronomy, and we celebrate the Nativity on the 29 th of Kiahk which corresponds to the 7 th of January. There are some other churches who share with us this date.
But the question in not a question of faith and doctrine, nevertheless it can be exploited to impress the simple, when the date is changed.

Q: If statement not evaluating correctly If the if statement is not there everything is good, but when it is there, then it doesn't give me numbers:

let a;

y = document.getElementById("firstnumber");
document.getElementById("myButton").onclick = function() {
  if (firstnumber >= 0) {
    a = document.getElementById("firstnumber").value;

  Enter first Number

  <input type="number" id="firstnumber">

In the script function there is the if statement and something is wrong with it. I am new to this language and don't know much about it. please help me.

A: firstnumber is undefined and evaluated as false. Therefore the code in its body will never run

const el = (sel, par) => (par || document).querySelector(sel);

const elNum = el("#firstnumber");
const elBtn = el("#myButton");
const elFdn = el("#fdn");
const elFbn = el("#fbn");

Longmont man held on $1 million bond, accused of abusing girlfriend's child
Posted 10:22 am, September 5, 2019, by Dara Bitler
LONGMONT, Colo.– Longmont police arrested a man on Tuesday at the Lamplighter Motel at 1642 Main Street after a housekeeper reported a man running out of his room with 2-year-old child who had bruises on her face.
Cristian Hernandez, 22, was arrested on suspicion of child abuse, attempted first degree murder, domestic violence, second degree assault, third degree assault and false imprisonment.
According to the arrest affidavit, the child was reportedly unconscious and having difficulty breathing on Tuesday. The housekeeper stated the child appeared to have been beaten and looked "lifeless", according to the report.
The child was taken to Longmont United Hospital and was transferred to Children's Hospital by helicopter for emergency surgery, according to the arrest report.
On Wednesday, Deputy Chief Jeffrey Satur with the Longmont Police Department, shared with FOX31/Channel 2 News that the child is still in serious condition.
According to the arrest report, the child's mother told police that she had been dating Hernandez for the last four months. She also stated that Hernandez has been spanking the child almost daily for around two weeks.
On Sunday morning, the child's mother says she came home from work and found her child in bed with blood on her pillow and bruises on her face. She stated in the arrest report that Hernandez told her that the child was dragged by a dog at a "diaper shower" Saturday night.
She went on to say that she and Hernandez argued about the child's safety Sunday and that he tried to choke her when she tried to leave with the child, eventually making her become unconscious, according to the arrest affidavit.
On Tuesday, the child's mother was at an appointment when she received a call from Hernandez that the child was not breathing because she fell off the bed. She also stated that she knew nothing else about what happened at the hotel earlier in the morning, according to the arrest report.
Hernandez appeared in Boulder County court on Wednesday where a judge set his bond at $1 million. He is expected to be back in court on Friday.
