The only point here I understand is that you don't like sodomy; which is certainly different since blowjobs are also considered sodomy (technically speaking) And the fact that Nigeria executes people for doing anal sex proves what exactly??
I don't like anal sex is because of personal preference. some people like broccoli but some people don't. I am sure I am not the only one. There are many others who don't like to watch it and would fast forward if shot. But I don't know if we are the majority.
As for Nigeria, it's for religious reasons. If God forbids it, who are you to argue?
How do you know how God feels about sodomy? Did he tell you or are you reading this from a book written by some dudes who also said you shouldn't eat pulled pork sandwiches and shrimp, fuck before you are married, and slavery is on the up and up??
I encounter a militant religious type on most forums I visit online, the one glorifying adultery,idolatry and even a bit of theft is the last one I'd expected to be honest.
I am actually not that religious although I believe in God. But I mentioned this in the first place because someone above stated that many Brazillians and Europeans do it and somehow many Americans are against it because Americans are weirdos. I was just trying to point out that anal sex is not that common globally. Africa is one example, and also most if not all Muslims countries likely have it banned. I am an American ex-pat currently live in Asia, and anal sex is also unheard of because Asian women will not tolerate any pain, and also anal sex is actually a cultural taboo. In JAV, you find anal sex mostly in torture porns. I personally don't like to watch it and I won't buy any porn that involves anal sex. But it's not a moral decision, and it's purely personal preference. I write this just as one data sample for any porn producers who might be reading this.

^ He said Americans are Puritanical, which we are. No need to defend us. We are behind the rest of the world on some matters concerning sex, nudity, etc for sure.
Muslim countries, like was mentioned above with regard to the bible, ban a lot more than just sodomy and you will be executed or have limbs cut off for things you probably don't agree with unless you are also a religious zealot.
Yeah, using Asian culture, especially JAV, which censors their porn and are obsessed with tentacles and bukkake also doesn't strengthen your point.
It's not a moral decision, yet you list cultures to prove your point that does stem from morality, primarily religious morality, which is rooted in contradictions and fallacies.
Lastly, I highly doubt porn producers are going to ignore all actual data and statistics they have access to like downloads, subscriptions, DVD sales, page views, etc in favor of some religious nut talking out of his ass, referencing easily refuted, and frankly, silly counterpoints on a pirate board.
Just my opinion, take how you will...

If you think that Nigeria or any other country should be MURDERING HUMAN BEINGS for engaging in a consensual sex act, then you have some serious problems with those same people because you watch porn. Prostitution, exhibition, extramarital sex, adultery and masturbation are ALL ALSO SINS.
You want to thump the Bible, fine. Start that discussion in the Community Forums. Don't do it here.
I think...um...you should chill a bit. If you follow the conversation, you will notice that i was merely explaining the reasoning behind why people think a certain way rather than thumping the bible, for the purpose of answering someone's question. I already mentioned that I am not very religious, and my decision is purely personal preference. But my personal preference could be the product of religious upbringing. who knows. But if you grow up in Africa especially the parts where people are a lot more conservative and more religious, you can't say for sure that you will be able to escape the same mindset. Regardless, since I do think that porn producers read this forum, and that's why I had to say not everyone likes anal sex which is a fact. But I just don't know whether we are the majority or not. BTW, I think you are too emotional and tend to jump the gun too easily.

Billy Watson calling out the hypocrisy of some of the girls for refusing to shoot for Dogfart because of the name.
https://twitter.com/billywatson3/status/...0465231872
05-09-2019, 11:01 PM (This post was last modified: 05-09-2019, 11:41 PM by whiteisright4bbc.)
I disagree that that's hypocrisy. I remember Rex used to always equate "incest" themed porn with IR, claiming it's far worse or w/e. Maybe it's because I never actually grew up with a "step" anything, but I don't really see it as that big of a deal unless it's blood-related. Maybe if it was blood-related incest role-play like back in the 80's, but even then I'd just say it's fantasy and move on. People are too sensitive. Porn has steadily gotten more and more PC, even IR has gotten more PC. it's all stale and sterile these days for the most part compared to years past.
The thing about that, though, is that it really is just a stupid name. Why not change it? There's no down side. I can't think of an actual reason to keep it other than brand recognition. But rebranding would be better in the long run. They could still use it to point to their new brand in the transitional phase and then ditch it once people are familiar with the new brand. They would have access to more talent that refuse to shoot for them because the name is, frankly, offensive, but moreso, lame. I don't care what "joke" they thought up after the fact to cover for the racist connotation of equating sex with a Black man to a dog farting.
I also find it hilarious all the J Mac level intellect militants pretending that only girls who dodged and don't do IR anyways refuse to shoot with them using the name as a cover when girls like August Ames, Elsa Jean, etc who shot with virtually everyone also didn't shoot with them because the name is atrocious. If they were "real" IR fans they wouldn't defend such fuckery using false pretenses just because those white producers shoot BM/OF. Say what you want about Lansky, but his product is far more respectable than Dogfart. They like to say BLACKED isn't much better, but it really is. Women wanna shoot for BLACKED, and at the end of the day, that's all that matters. Being stubborn earns you no extra points, nor does it line your pockets. Watson and co need to get with the times or be left behind.
The game done changed.

^ yeah like Anikka Albrite and Candice Dare. Tbh, imo if you watch porn regularly then you should be desensitized to their name. They've been around for a long time.
Besides his hypocrisy, the main charm of Dogfart to me was the unscripted/dirty talk part of it. Ditching that part because of Blacked or whatever reason, they've lost their style.
On top of that, there have been fewer and fewer good runs of update, even the decent performers tend to get paired up in BBG-scene, ffs.

I feel the same way, The dirty talk was what I liked the most and up until about a year and a half ago, Dogfart was pretty consistent with it. Now they've gone 180 with it and won't even say "black cock" and especially "white pussy" in even their trailers.
I was slowly losing interest in their updates. Now, I usually just skip over them.

Gebhard von Brandenburg (auch Gebhardt; † 11. April 1287) war von 1278 bis 1287 Bischof von Brandenburg. Er gehörte dem Prämonstratenserorden an.

Leben
Gebhard von Brandenburg wurde von den Kapiteln Brandenburg und Leitzkau zum neuen Bischof von Brandenburg gewählt. Der Beginn seines Pontifikates liegt zwischen dem 19. Juni 1278 und dem 11. Januar 1279. Von Markgraf Otto V. wurde Gebhard vor dessen erster Rückreise von Böhmen nach Brandenburg Ende Mai/Anfang Juni 1279 als stellvertretender Statthalter in Böhmen eingesetzt. Ende August desselben Jahres wurde er zum zweiten Mal als stellvertretender Statthalter eingesetzt, bevor Markgraf Otto V. das zweite Mal nach Brandenburg zurückkehrte. Als stellvertretender Statthalter zog er sich den Hass der Bevölkerung von Böhmen zu. Im Laufe des Jahres 1280 verlor er diesen Posten. Es sind Aufenthalte von Gebhard von Brandenburg in Kyritz am 9. Januar 1280 und in Berlin am 18. August 1280 belegt. Am 6. Oktober 1281 hielt er sich nachweislich in Magdeburg auf.

Von 1282 bis Mitte 1284 weilte er beim Papst in Orvieto in Italien. Danach kehrte er in seine Diözese nach Brandenburg zurück, wo er urkundlich am 9. September 1284 erwähnt wird. Am 25. Mai 1285 hielt er sich erneut in Orvieto beim Papst auf. Vom 13. März bis 21. März 1287 war er nachweislich in Würzburg, wo er an dem Nationalkonzil, welches am 16. März 1287 vom päpstlichen Legaten Johann von Frascati eröffnet wurde, teilnahm. Gebhard von Brandenburg verstarb am 11. April 1287 und wurde im Brandenburger Dom beigesetzt.

The ultimate gym bag with a modular meal management compartment.
Today's serious athlete understands that training is a 24/7/365 obligation, one unhealthy meal can offset the gains of an entire week. Additionally, a day of missed physical training can throw an entire exercise regimen off-track.
The reason the world records are dropping on many amateur time- or weight-based sports is because athletes have learned that proper nutrition is just as, if not more, important than physical training. The ISO Duffle™ was designed from the ground-up to be a staple of every serious athlete. It's a modular meal management duffle that will be the best gym bag you will ever own. Never miss a day in the gym - never miss a healthy meal with the ISO Duffle™.
A sports duffle that is not ridiculously large - both in price tag and size.
What resulted was another quality gym bag from Isolator Fitness, the ISO Duffle™. As with all Isolator bags, the ISO Duffle™ is made in the USA. It is big enough to handle all your fitness tote needs, while still having room for a 6 meal management compartment. The ISO Duffle™ represents the modern athlete's duffle bag - room for meal management as well as clothing and accessories.
The duffle includes 8 containers (Two-12 oz., Two-16 oz., Two-28 oz., Two-38 oz.) and Two-7 oz. Isobricks.
As with all our meal prep bags, the ISO Duffle™ is filled with innovative storage compartments.
A highly insulated meal compartment that can house up to 4-6 meals. The insulation is built into the compartment itself- meaning that when it's not housing the meal container, it doubles the duffle's storing capacity.
When the meal container is removed- the compartment can function to keep even more gym clothes, shoes or other items completely separate from the inside of the bag.
Two external mesh pockets that can house water, protein shakes, other fitness drinks or items.
Travel or light-luggage bag, carry on bag for airlines. All major airlines recognize the ISO Duffle™ as an acceptable carry-on for overhead storage.
A mens and womens gym bag that has a main compartment storage capacity of 1.7 cubic ft!
A duffle that can help athletes stay on track with their training and meal management.
Did you know: All of the meal prep bags in the ISO family are the only lunch coolers made in the United States of America. All other bags are sourced overseas.

l love you, but I hate you. I miss you, but I'm better off without you. I want you out of my life, but I never want to let you go.
It's so weird thinking back to when you first met someone and that moment you had no idea they would have such a big impact on you.
True love is like playing chess. A boy plays and is always afraid of losing his queen, and a girl risking everything just to protect her king.
I would give up everything for one moment with you; for one moment is better than a life time of never knowing you.
How can you tell the sun not to shine, when clouds exist. How can ask leaves not to fall when wind exists. How can you tell me not to fall in love when you exist.
Don't let someone rent space in your head if they're not paying the cost to be there.
A real person will love you for your positives not your negatives and will turn the negatives into a positive.
Love doesn't hurt. Lying, cheating, and broken promises do.

Nivin Pauly's 'Kayamkulam Kochunni' a time travel to the 1830s
Entertainment South Indian
Directed by Rosshan Andrews, this period tale of a historical character gets more interesting with Mohanlal in a cameo
Published: October 09, 2018 18:13 Mythily Ramachandran, Special to tabloid!
If you're from the South Indian state of Kerala, you've probably grown up listening to the story of Kayamkulam Kochunni, the notorious highwayman of Kayamkulam (from the erstwhile Travancore state), who, in Robin Hood style, robbed the rich to give to the poor. This 19th century story is now brought to life on screen with a multi star cast, led by Kerala top actor Nivin Pauly. As the countdown begins, director Rosshan Andrews and script writer Sanjay talk about the making of the Rs450 million epic n an exclusive chat with Gulf News tabloid!.
For script writers Bobby-Sanjay (sons of noted Malayalam producer-actor Prem Prakash), their first introduction to Kochunni was through the pages of Amar Chitra Katha comics.
"Kochunni was our favourite in our childhood days," said younger brother Sanjay. "When we read his story again in Aithihyamala (collection of folktales) in our teenage years, we found that we were still excited by the character. Since we started writing scripts for films, we had this longing to write Kochunni's story."
After completing work on School Bus, Roshan Andrews' last film, they gave Andrews a copy of Kochunni's Amar Chitra comic.
Andrews was immediately drawn to the story of the highway robber.
Director Andrews, who admires David Lean's films, such as Lawrence of Arabia and Dr Zhivago, was keen on directing a film of this magnitude someday. Turning a comic book story into a screenplay for a film is not easy, especially in the absence of a biography on Kochunni. A research team was appointed to source information on the infamous man.
After a friend mentioned about a temple dedicated to Kochunni in Kozhencherry (Kerala), Sanjay and Andrews visited the shrine. They were surprised to see Kochunni's idol, who was Muslim, being revered in a Hindu temple. "We learnt more about Kochunni there," said Sanjay. "It was interesting collecting information about him little by little. Reading between the lines and relying on our imagination, we gradually formed a sketch of Kochunni-more like fitting the pieces of a puzzle to get the final picture."
Following discussions with Rosshan, Bobby and Sanjay arrived at a screenplay. Kayamkulam Kochunni is their sixth film with Rosshan, a journey that began with Notebook and includes the critically-acclaimed films Traffic, Mumbai Police and How Old Are You?
An extraordinary story of an ordinary man
"Kayamkulam Kochunni is the story of an ordinary man," added Andrews. "He was not born a thief. What then led to his transformation? What is it about this man that makes him a larger than life picture? I wanted to make his life story into a film."
Rosshan's visualised a vast canvas. While this two scriptwriters filled it up with a host of characters, they often had to rack up their brains over names for the supporting characters.
"That was one of the challenges. Today's names of people won't work for characters of the nineteenth century, smiled Sanjay. For the first time in his career, Andrews worked on the previsualistion and designed the action sequences himself before commencing shooting. Meticulous planning became his second name.
Pauly was their first and only choice to play the title role. Pauly was put through training in martial arts, horse riding and sword fighting. Calling him a director's actor, Andrews said, "He is like clay I could mould him any way. Nivin is brilliant and capable of several emotions including humour. His performance is mind boggling. The supporting cast is interesting with Babu Antony (as Kochunni's Kalari mentor), Tamil actress Priya Anand (Kochunni's lover Janaki), Sunny Wayne, Kannada actress Priyanka Thimmesh (as Kochunni's wife), Tamil actor MS Bhaskar, Manikandan R Achari (as Kochunni's close friend Vava) and Sudheer Karamana, to mention a few.
A star cameo
Mohanlal, who worked with Andrews on three films, makes a cameo appearance in the film. He is Ithikara Pakki, another Robin Hood like thief of that era. Hailing from Ithikara, he was called a pakki (bird) for his physical agility.
"Ithikara Pakki fought for the downtrodden. He was Kochunni's predecessor as well as his contemporary," said Sanjay.
Technically sound
Shot in Mangalore, Kochi, Udupi, Kadava, Sri Lanka and Goa, Kayamkulam Kochunni follows the life of Kochunni from the age of seven, through his teenage years to an adult. "We have explored his love, his friendship, marriage and his transformation into a highway thief. Come and watch it like a child," said Andrews. The technical team reads of the best in the industry. Sreekar Prasad is the editor, Gopi Sundar has scored music. Three DOPs Binod Pradhan, Nirav Shah and Sudheer Palsane have handled the camera. Produced by Sri Gokulam Movies, Kayamkulam Kochunni is ready to enthral viewers.

Obi Worldphone SF1 smartphone confirmed to Launch in India in Nov
Obi Mobiles is a smartphone brand founded by John Sculley, ex-CEO of Apple. The company started its operation India in 2014 by rebranding and selling the Chinese devices. In early 2015, it had stopped this business model and was relaunched as 'Obi Worldphone' and launched two new smartphones that are designed by Robert Brunner who had worked as industrial design director at Apple for nearly a decade.
The company began selling both these smartphones in middle-east countries and few selected Asian countries. Now the company is targeting India as their next big destination. While the company's line-up includes two devices namely Obi Worldphone SF1 and Worldphone SJ1.5, it had chosen to launch only the SF1 model in India.
Talking about the Indian launch, Neeraj Chauhan, Co-Founder and CEO of Obi Worldphone, said, "We plan to launch Obi Worldphone in India within this month and are committed to work relentlessly to enthral consumers with our innovations in design, state-of-the-art technology and high standards for manufacturing to deliver inspiring products that overturn the general assumption that great design has to come at a high price."
The SF1 is the high-end device among the both, it sports a 5-inch Full HD display along with Gorilla Glass protection on top of it. The device is powered by the Snapdragon 615 octa-core processor clocked at 1.5GHz and comes in two variants with 2GB/3GB of RAM. The 2GB RAM variant will have 16GB of built-in storage while the internal storage on 3GB RAM variant will be doubled up to 32GB.
It also has a MicroSD card slot for storage expansion up to a maximum of 64GB. The device also comes with Dolby Surround 7.0 technology and includes the dual mics for noise cancellation. On the camera front, it has a 13MP rear camera with an aperture of f/2.0 and dual LED flash, on the front it comes with a 5MP selfie camera accompanied with front-facing flash for better selfies even in the dark.
The dual SIM device also supports 4G LTE and offers other connectivity options like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS/A-GPS, and MicroUSB 2.0 port. It has a 3,000mAh battery that can give up to 28 hours of talk time and lasts up to 20 days on standby. It runs on Android 5.1 Lollipop based on customised Obi Lifespeed UI.

Hip pain or sacroiliac joint pain (SI joint pain), is one of the most common conditions that Doctors of Chiropractic diagnose and treat.
The SI joints are located at the base of the low back (near the low back dimples), between two adjoining parts of the pelvis; the sacrum and the ilium. The SI joints are found at the point where the sacrum and the ilium join to form the posterior aspect of the pelvis.
When describing SI joint pain, patients often describe their pain as originating in their "lower back or hip". The true hip joints are located in a different location than the sacroiliac joints, however, pain may radiate out from the SI joints to the sides of the body towards the hips, causing confusion about where the pain is actually originating.
To treat your hip pain, our trained doctors will examine your hip and also your spine, gait, and posture. Treatment will usually involve the hip, pelvis, and spine as well as specific stretching exercises to get to the core of the problem. Opting for a more natural treatment plan for hip pain can help you avoid the costs and risks of surgery and drugs over a longer period.
Chiropractic adjustments directed at the SI joints are very effective in restoring normal motion in the joints; relaxing the muscles and surrounding ligaments and significantly reducing both lower back and hip pain.
Dr. William Schober, DC can diagnose and treat your hip/pelvic pain and help your spine and pelvis to return to normal function.
If you would like more information about our integrated medical care approach for hip and pelvic pain, please contact us today!

Home In the Church Global Nature St. Patrick and Mission from the Margins
St. Patrick and Mission from the Margins
by David W. Scott
Today is St. Patrick's Day, the celebration of Irish heritage. The day is scheduled on the feast day of St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, who is commemorated for bringing Christianity to Ireland. While many will use the day to reflect on what it means to be Irish, I want to use the day to reflect on what it means to be a missionary, like Patrick.
It's easy in contemporary times when thinking about Patrick to think about Patrick's centrality. As a recognized saint not only in Catholicism, but in Eastern Orthodoxy, Anglicanism, and Lutheranism, too, he is a central figure in Christian history. As patron saint of Ireland, he is central to Irish Catholicism and to Irish identity, both in Ireland and throughout the world.
Yet at the beginning of his missionary labors, what would most have struck his contemporaries about Patrick was not his centrality but his marginality. First, he had a marginal status in Ireland. Patrick was a foreigner in Ireland, since he was born a Roman Briton. Worse still, he was a former slave to the Irish. His status as a foreigner and former slave and his refusal to participate in systems of Irish royal patronage left him with a margin legal and social status within the island, without many rights or protections.
Although he would eventually become a bishop, Patrick also held a marginal position in the church at the beginning of his mission. He was ordained and somewhat literate, but relative to other clergy of the time, he had held no prominent positions prior to his mission nor was he well-educated. The two documents he left behind are written in poor Latin. His return to Ireland as a missionary seems to have been a personal decision taken in response to a dream, not a commission by some central authority in the church. Palladius, a wealthy cleric from France, not Patrick, was the first bishop sent by the pope to the Irish to serve as the bishop of the Christians there.
Yet it was Patrick, despite his outsider status in Irish society and marginality within the church hierarchy, who would go on to become revered as the apostle to the Irish, forging Irish Christianity and Irish identity in the process.
Part of this transformation speaks to the process of hagiography and memory that happened after Patrick's death. Patrick's present centrality in tales of Irish nationalism and Irish Christianity speaks to the centuries of retelling and transforming of his story that have happened since his life.
But part of this transformation speaks to some deeper truth about mission. Viewed from a time after the heyday of Western imperialism and well after the founding of Christianity in new regions of the globe, it is easy to associate missionaries with power and prominence, both ecclesial and secular. And in some instances, missionaries did go out with the force of church structures and imperial powers behind them.
But looking carefully at the story of Patrick reminds us that just as often, this was not the case. Successful missionaries have often come, not from the centers of power in their time, but from the margins. They have succeeded in their mission despite and quite often because of their marginality, not their centrality in their contexts. They have embodied Paul's writing in 1 Corinthians 1:26-31, being able to boast only in the Lord, not in their human status.
There is, however, a second takeaway from Patrick's story: the categories of center and margin are not absolute and immutable. Relative to Roman British society, Patrick had some prominence as a semi-literate cleric. But in Irish Celtic society, his status was much lower. Moreover, Patrick's relative marginality or centrality within Irish society changed over the course of his life as he won converts and became bishop and has certainly changed in the centuries since then.
So, the marginal may become those at the center and vice versa. This should not surprise those who proclaim a Messiah who preached that the last will become first and the first will become last. It is a reminder to all Christians that the places and persons where the Holy Spirit is working now and will prosper in the future are not the same as where the powers of the world are now seated. And it is a reminder that when we tell the story of those who brought the gospel to us, we must not let their successes make us forge

Arranz Bravo and Rafael Bartolozzi stand for italian Pop Art.
Every country in the world was at some time during the Sixties and Seventies influenced by the american Masters of Pop Art. In the Netherlands there were Woody van Amen and Tajiri. In France there were Monory and Raysse. Germany has Dieter Hesserer and Italy they had Arranz Barvo and Rafael Bartolozzi. They worked together and made some great paintings at that time, but now….many of these artists are almost forgotten. This does not mean that their works are of no importance, but at the moment these are not "In VOGUE". It is a litlle like it was some 30 year ago. Zero/Nul and Kinetic were thought of no importance, but now….every collector in the world wants its share of the ZERO art and not much is available at reasonable prices anymore. I predict that it will be the same with…. first POP ART from outside the US and later after the art market has devided all good Pop Art…. it will be time for Minimal Art. These are my tips for the future if you want to build a collection that gathers value over the years to come. www.ftn-books.com has some great books on Pop art and Minimal Art available but also the Bravo/Bartolozzi catalogue including the invitation they made for one of their first exhibitions at IL FAUNO in Torino.

Home Industries East North Avenue gets surge of development
East North Avenue gets surge of development
BizTimes Staff
In a three-block stretch of East North Avenue, between Oakland Avenue and Prospect Avenue, three apartment developments are under construction and a fourth is planned.
Combined, the projects will add 290 new residential units and 22,500 square feet of retail space to East North Avenue. That will bring a population boost to the neighborhood, which will benefit existing retailers in this commercial area in the heart of the city's East Side neighborhood.
Milwaukee-based Joseph Property Development LLC is building two of the North Avenue projects. One is the redevelopment of the Prospect Mall property at 2217 N. Prospect Ave. The other is a project at the former Pizza Man site, northeast of Oakland and North Avenues. Pizza Man burned down in early 2010 and the site has been vacant ever since.
Joseph Property Development is owned by Robert Joseph, who lived on the East Side from 1992-2012.
"That's my neighborhood," he said.
Development at former Pizza Man site
The redevelopment of the Prospect Mall property is adding 52 apartments on top of the building, which will have 10,000 square feet of retail space. So far the only announced retail tenant is a Potbelly Sandwich Shop. However, the site's location on Prospect Avenue between the Whole Foods store at 2305 N. Prospect Ave. and Kenilworth Square, which has several retail tenants including Urban Outfitters and American Apparel, could be attractive to retailers. Other retailers have expressed interest in the Prospect Mall space, Joseph said.
"I believe Prospect Mall is filling the gap between Whole Foods and the Kenilworth project," Joseph said. "I think the location is absolutely ideal for retail."
Greenwich Park Apartments
The Prospect Mall project is expected to be complete in June.
Meanwhile, Joseph recently began construction work at the former Pizza Man site, where he plans to build a four-story building with 39 apartments and 6,000 square feet of retail space.
Prospect Mall redevelopment
One block east of the Pizza Man site, HSI Properties LLC is building a five-story building with 99 market rate apartments, a 16,000-square-foot grey box space for the East Milwaukee Library, and a 2,500-square-foot retail space. The building, which will be called The Standard at East Library, will replace the library building, which was torn down, at 1910 E. North Ave. The project is expected to be complete in July.
"The response we've had so far from prospective (apartment) tenants has been really positive," said Ryan Schultz, principal of HSI Properties.
The firm expects some tenants to be employees at the nearby Columbia St. Mary's hospital and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, said Schultz.
HSI is also "talking to a few prospective tenants right now," about the retail space in the building, Schultz said.
Schultz is a UWM alumnus who lived on the East Side for 10 years.
"It's probably one of the best (apartment) submarkets in the area," he said. "North Avenue has one of the very few walkable environments in Milwaukee. Brady Street is probably second to North Avenue. People can live, work and shop all within walking distance."
The East Side is a well-developed area with few vacant lots available for new developments, Schultz said. That means the area has good population density and an array of retail services for neighborhood residents. But to meet the demand for additional residential units, most developers need to do redevelopment projects transforming a property into a new or enhanced use.
In addition, Chicago-based Mercy Housing Lakefront, the regional office of Denver-based Mercy Housing Inc., plans to construct a pair of six-story apartment buildings south of Thomas Avenue between Farwell and Murray avenues, a block east of the library project site. The first phase of the project, called Greenwich Park Apartments, would be a 56-unit apartment building and the second phase of the project would be a 44-unit apartment building. The buildings will have a mix of market-rate and "affordable" apartments, which will be available at subsidized lower below-market rents for lower-income families. Mercy is seeking affordable housing tax credits for the project from the Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority.
The East Side and East North Avenue are appealing for apartments because of the proximity to Whole Foods, Columbia St. Mary's, the UWM, the Oriental Theatre, stores, bars and restaurants, Joseph said. Most of those are within walking distance of the East North Avenue developments.
"You could live on the East Side without a car," he said. "It's one of the few places in Milwaukee that you can say that."
Retailers need population density and apartments need retail services close by.
"You can't have one without the other," Schultz said.
On the East Side there is already a significant amount of the residential density and retail development
"It's really the quintessential urban area," Schultz said.
Apartment building developers consider neighborhood retail services as additional amenities for their properties, Schultz said. The additional development on North Avenue should strengthen the area, he said.
"I think it will have a very positive impact for the retailers," Schultz said.

Ticket touts
'Tartan tat' ticket tout defies Royal Military Tattoo brief ban on Edinburgh's Royal Mile
Malap Singh was pulled up by the police and then posted a video on Facebook to brand the officers as "jokers" before boasting that he was "still trading".

A "tartan tat" ticket tout has defied a ban by selling Royal Military Tattoo tickets on Edinburgh's Royal Mile.
Malap Singh, 52, went to war with police after they disrupted his trade, posting a video on Facebook to brand the officers as "jokers" and boasting: "Still trading, business as usual."
Singh sells the tickets knowing event organisers might turn away his clients, many of whom come from overseas.
Tattoo organisers strictly forbid resale and insist ID is produced by ticket buyers.
Wheeler-dealer Singh, a member of the wealthy Singh Gold family, whose shops sells Scots memorabilia, later admitted to the Record he gets bumper batches of tickets for sold-out shows from tour guides on cruise ships, which he has flogged on the day of each performance.
It is illegal for any ticket resellers in the UK to sell briefs without making such restrictions clear from the outset.
Police officers speak with Malap Singh on the Royal Mile over Tattoo ticket sales (Image: YouTube)
In his defiant video, Singh is told by one officer that he does not have a street trading licence to sell the tickets for the grand parade of military bands, which are a big annual attraction for pensioners in particular.
He shouts at the three officers: "You're a bunch of jokers. That's five times this week. You stand and say I'm allowed to buy tickets. I pick up the tickets from here and I sell them from the shop.
"Have I got any tickets on me?"
Singh speaks directly to the camera and says: "I'd just like to say Edinburgh Police are clowns."
After posting the video on Facebook, Singh received a hail of criticism.
Chris Still said: "You are parasitic scum. You've lost your way but you'll never get it. Everything is "just business". Soooo greedy."
Katrina Stewart said: "Shut up mate you have just made a prat of yourself. Your lucky you weren't lifted TBF."
Edinburgh Royal Military Tattoo is a tourist favourite and tickets are hard to come by (Image: EPA)
Glasgow bus drivers could strike in dispute over public safety amid proposed service changes
On the Royal Military Tattoo website it makes it clear that resale is not allowed. It states: "If a ticket is resold or offered for resale by anyone other than The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo or one of its authorised agents (as part of a package) it will become void and the holder will be refused entry.
"The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo also reserves the right to blacklist buyers found to be reselling or offering tickets for resale. For the avoidance of doubt, this includes resale or attempted resale on the internet."
Singh's business, which is done at the last minute, sees him picking up the unused tickets for a song then trying to offload them for around face value or more if he can get it. He quoted our reporter "around £55" for the briefs, which range from £25 to £90 face value.

Two men appear in court charged with Castlemilk 'puppy thefts'
In 2008, following a long-running dispute, Singh was fined £350 for punching rival trader Geoffrey Nicholsby, who was 62, in the face.
Nicholsby later sold his business to family members Dildar and Surinder Singh Gold, who own several valuable properties on the Royal Mile.
In 2011, Singh's company was fined £4500 after his Abercrombie Cashmere store on the Royal Mile was caught selling "Scottish"
woollens that were actually made in China. He and brothers Surinder and Galab, who have been in business for more than 30 years, were caught in a Trading Standards sting.
In 2010, police ordered a clampdown on people trying to cash in on the Tattoo after the Royal Mile was flooded with ticket touts.
At the time, Malap Singh was quoted in a paper saying: "We will buy any spare tickets and sell them on. There is huge demand for them. The event is a sell-out and it's an easy way to get a ticket.
"I'm not asking for any more than the ticket price, as that would be ticket touting. The police have warned me about that and told me not to carry a placard around, but there are lots of people selling tickets every night."
When the Record called Singh, posing as a punter and asking if we could buy tickets for the sold out performance on Wednesday night, Singh said he could sort us out.

He said: "Police are clamping down on street touts and I don't have a street trader licence but the tickets are totally legal and you'll get a refund if you don't get in.
"I get them from the tour guides, so none of my tickets have names on them.
"If they have a name on it they can refuse you if you don't have ID to match. I'm getting them very cheap. If I get a cruise liner coming in they sell me them very cheap and I can't get a refund because they come in late. They usually have 30 or 40 tickets.
"I've been doing it for the last 15 years."
A Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo spokesperson said: "The Tattoo only sells tickets through its official website, box office and authorised travel partners. We work hard to ensure the event is affordable and it's always disappointing to find tickets being sold at inflated prices.
"We receive returns and tickets will often be available on the morning of a performance so we'd urge visitors to contact the Tattoo's official box."

Many of our cemeteries were designed by a team of Junior Architects working underneath the Principals, all of whom were veterans of the war.

One of the most poignant cases was that of Lieutenant Colonel Henry Cart de Lafontaine, an architect and the Commission's Chief Inspector of Works. Before the war he was a pupil of Reginald Blomfield, later one of the Commission's Principal Architects. In 1914 he joined the 4th Royal Fusilier Battalion of the London Regiment as a Captain. He was mentioned in Despatches for his bravery in battle.
On 27 June 1915, during fighting at Neuve-Chapelle in France, his headquarters suffered a direct hit by an enemy shell. His second-in-command was killed, while he himself experienced acute shellshock. A year later his younger brother Alfred died at the Battle of the Somme.

In 1919 Cart de Lafontaine was appointed to the Commission, primarily tasked with ensuring the standardisation of war grave plots in municipal cemeteries. He also designed striking memorial tablets for over thirty cathedrals in France and Belgium.
After resigning in 1920, Cart de Lafontaine requested special permission to design Carnoy Military Cemetery in France, where his brother was buried. A true labour of love, he asked not to be paid for the work. The cemetery commemorates more than 850 casualties.

Zac Efron's grandparents went to see 'Baywatch' and it was adorable
May 29, 2017, 3:07 PM UTC / Source: TODAY
By Rheana Murray
Zac Efron has many fans, but two of them are particularly special: his grandparents.
And they have plenty of reason to be proud of their grandson: His new movie, "Baywatch," came out on May 25.
https://www.instagram.com/p/BUnWOAphmvC
Efron recently posted a photo of his grandparents standing next to a poster for the movie outside a theater in Bend, Oregon.
"This just makes everything even more awesome," he wrote on Instagram. "Love you grandma and grandpa. I love you guys! Can't wait to talk to u after the movie."
We're sure they'll have plenty to say! Efron plays an Olympian turned lifeguard in the movie alongside Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.

"Baywatch" is based on the '90s TV show of the same name, which starred Pamela Anderson and David Hasselhoff and made the red one-piece swimsuit an unforgettable icon.
In a recent interview with TODAY, Efron opened up about the intense training regimen he launched before the movie, and about how he and Johnson were influenced by the original series.
"(Johnson wanted to) sort of turn it on its ear a bit, make fun of it, amp up the action, make it more relevant to today's audience, and that sounded like an amazing idea," Efron said.

Our Paper Craft Week continues with some models from the wastepaper basked. These were some initial pieces we cooked up initially that were quickly crumbled up. These all relied on glue and the challenge and convenance of a glueless model was too alluring to turn down. So these dome heads were tossed aside for the ones we posted earlier.
Again, modeled after the most handsome man in the FP Headquarters, Kiel Mutschelknaus < / modesty >.
And hurry up assembling your FP workers. The week is almost up and you may never get another chance to have your creations posted here. Is it hard? Are people having difficulties? Need better instructions?

It is made from vineyards 200 meters higher in elevation than Uccelliera, creating more of a classic and elegant counterpart to Uccelliera's power and fruit. The wine matures in large Slavonian and French oak casks for 30 months, producing a wine with incredible dark fruit and licorice notes, and polished tannins reminiscent of great Barolo.

Q: updating a field based on relationship between 2 mysql tables I have 2 mysql tables woith the following:
table_a
id, retailer_message, logos_id
logos
id, name
table_a has a retailer_message field, with records such as 'On sale at Amazon'
logos table has records with the name field as 'Amazon' for example.
Now what I want to do, is update the table_a logos_id based on the relationship with the logos table.
So the following example
table_a
id, retailer_message, logos_id
1, On sale at Amazon
2, On sale at Asda

logos
id, name
1, Amazon
2, Misco
3, Asda
4, Tesco

This would then update the table_a and insert the logos_id of 1 and 3 respectively.
Could someone provide an SQL snippet to achieve this?
Thanks

A: If you always have the same message as the beginning of the message ("On sale at ") you can use something like this:
update table_a set logos_id = (select id from logos where name = substring(retailer_message,12));

In 'Momotaro's Sky Adventure' (also known as 'Aerial Momotaro') Japanese animation pioneers Aoji and Yasuji Murata tell a tale about that great and friendly warrior from Japanese folklore, Momotaro, who had been brought to the animated screen by Takamasa Eigasha in 'Momotaro the Undefeated' (1928).
Surprisingly, Aoji and Murata move our hero into the present. Momotaro is visited by a couple of Antarctic island birds who call for help against an evil (American?) eagle. Together with his loyal friends, monkey, dog and pheasant, he flies to the remote island in a propeller plane, being fueled twice by birds on the way. When the quartet arrives, they battle the eagle in the air in an overlong fighting sequence, which at times is strangely reminiscent of a modern computer game. Momotaro finally decides to capture the fiend alive, and he's celebrated as a hero by the grateful birds.
'Momotaro's Sky Adventure' is Japan's very first propaganda cartoon. It shows an early form of nationalism and anti-Americanism. Momotaro would grow very popular during World War II, representing Japan in many wartime films, and starring Japan's very first animated feature, 'Momotaro's Divine Sea Warriors' (1945), commissioned by the Japanese navy. This transformation of the folk hero into a nationalistic figure begins with this cartoon from 1931. Indeed, ultra-nationalism and militarism overtook Japan in the early 1930s, which e.g. resulted in the annexation of Manchuria in the summer of 1931.
'Momotaro's Sky Adventure' is available on the Japanese DVD Box Set 'Japanese Anime Classic Collection'.

The Value of the Humanities

The Value of the Humanities provides a critical account of the principal arguments used to defend the value of the Humanities. The claims considered are: that the Humanities study the meaning-making practices of culture, and bring to their work a distinctive understanding of what constitutes knowledge and understanding; that, though useful to society in many ways, they remain laudably at odds with, or at a remove from, instrumental use value; that they contribute to human happiness; that they are a force for democracy; and that they are a good in themselves, to be valued 'for their own sake'. Engaging closely with contemporary literary and philosophical work in the field from the UK and US, Helen Small distinguishes between arguments that retain strong Victorian roots (Mill on happiness; Arnold on use value) and those that have developed or been substantially altered since. Unlike many works in this field, The Value of the Humanities is not a polemic or a manifesto. Its purpose is to explore the grounds for each argument, and to test its validity for the present day. Tough-minded, alert to changing historical conditions for argument and changing styles of rhetoric, it promises to sharpen the terms of the public debate.

We looked at the verses below as an encouragement to be steadfast in intercession for the restoration of Israel.
Heb. 10:35 Therefore, do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward.
Heb. 10:36 For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God, you may receive what was promised.
Heb. 10:37 FOR YET IN A VERY LITTLE WHILE, HE WHO IS COMING WILL COME, AND WILL NOT DELAY.
Heb. 10:38 BUT MY RIGHTEOUS ONE SHALL LIVE BY FAITH; AND IF HE SHRINKS BACK, MY SOUL HAS NO PLEASURE IN HIM.
Heb. 10:39 But we are not of those who shrink back to destruction, but of those who have faith to the preserving of the soul.
Do be encouraged to believe God is hearing our prayers, especially as we pray His Word to Him.
Do NOT throw away your confidence - in Him, for it has a great reward. We shall see the answers come from God!
Do endure! that is your great need. Stay the course! Keep Praying! And after that, wait patiently to receive the answers. They will come. He will come!
Do Believe in Him We walk by faith and not by sight, or it can be said in another way: Faith is a different kind of seeing. It is a seeing of Him rather than of the seeing of circumstances or conditions. Now we do not see all things under His feet (yet), but we see Yeshua!
A good starting point for praying for Israel's salvation and God's unfolding agenda, is found in Ezekiel 36, especially Eze 36:22-38, clearly reveals God's main concern and motive for all the goodness He is about to do — His name, His glory!
These verses clearly speak of the return of the Lord, This is how things will end up, with Yeshua ruling over His people Israel, and caring for them (as a shepherd). He will be just, righteous, merciful, judge with equity. It will be a huge relief to Have Yeshua as our leader, King, master and ruler. No corruption, no oppression; only blessing to those wanting and willing to live under His rule.
We prayed for our government and for leaders - that God will bring into places of authority, people who would be led by a true sense of compassion for the people, a real desire to see the wellbeing of the poor and needy, and who would shun corruption on any level, whether personal or public.
We prayed for the Christians in Arab lands. They are experiencing cruelty, persecution and suffering on an unimaginable scale.
We prayed for missions and missionaries who are serving in Moslem nations There are some very brave missionaries in those very lands where Christians are being persecuted. They are boldly reaching out with the gospel and with humanitarian aid. Some are also serving in places like Greece, where many Syrian refugees have fled to. The need is great.

End the cycle of violence: war is not the answer
Written by Lindsey German
Published in Analysis
Behind Cameron's new push for war, lies a total failure to recognise the for the growth of Isis, writes Lindsey German
"We are going to war." These are the remarks of a "senior Cabinet minister" following David Cameron's speech on Tuesday when he declared his intention to put further military intervention — this time the bombing of Syria — to a vote in Parliament.
Last week that vote looked less than likely, especially following the report from the House of Commons foreign affairs select committee, chaired by Tory MP Crispin Blunt, which was extremely critical of a strategy of air strikes in Syria.
But a week is a long time in politics. Cameron is assuming that the wave of revulsion following the attacks in Paris will increase support for further military intervention.
Although opinion polling on this varies, some may well be swayed by the argument that "something must be done" to stop further killings.
It is a good question, but the problem is that military intervention is precisely the wrong answer.
To start with, there already is military intervention in Syria. At present the US has been bombing Syria for over a year.
Since September, France has been involved alongside them, although other members of a coalition put together last year, including Canada, Australia, Saudi Arabia and Jordan, have effectively withdrawn from bombing.
The bombing has failed in its stated aim, to weaken and defeat Isis. Even by the admission of the US, the group is as strong as it was before the bombing began, despite thousands of Isis supporters having been killed by the attacks. In the month after the bombing began, 8,000 joined Isis alone.
In addition, Iraq is already being bombed, including by Britain, with little evidence that this is affecting the strength of Isis.
Russia too has been bombing Syria. Whereas that bombing, which I oppose, was met with warnings of it increasing the threat of terrorism for Russia, any suggestion that this might also apply to other countries is met with derision.
Yet both Russia and France have now experienced severe terrorist attacks. Are we saying they have no connection to the bombings being carried out?
Behind Cameron's new round of banging the drum for war lies a total failure on the part of most politicians to admit the reasons for the growth of Isis and other groups.
Because the inescapable truth is that the "war on terror," as it was named after September 11, has not only failed to stop terrorism, it has presided over a massive growth of groups linked to al-Qaida and Isis, in an increasing number of countries, in those years.
One major reason for this has been the invasions, wars and occupations which the West has carried out over the past 14 years.
In every case, large numbers of civilians have been killed. Many more have been displaced and made refugees, and whole societies have been ruined by the ongoing consequences of war.
Every single one of those wars involving our government is still going on — Afghanistan, where the Taliban is strong in many areas and where Isis is also growing — Iraq, and Libya where tens of thousands have been killed by bombing and where the country is embroiled in a civil war.
Religious sectarianism and ethnic division has often been fostered, as it was in Iraq under the US occupation.
Isis itself is a child of war. Its origin lies in those fighting against Western occupation in Iraq in 2007, and it eventually spread to Syria in 2013 following the civil war there.
It was backed by key Saudi figures and Qatar in terms of arms and finance. Turkey, a Nato member and Western ally, has given major logistical support to Isis at various times, and has allowed it to sell oil across the Turkish border, providing a major lifeline.
Despite supposedly joining in attacks on Isis, it has been much keener to attack the Kurds in Syria, who actually are fighting Isis on the ground.
A good start in dealing with Isis would be for the allies of the Western powers to stop supporting it.
In terms of funding and ideology, Isis is close to Saudi Arabia, which is a valued Western ally.
It has been bombing Yemen for months, with little complaint from the Western powers, and this week the US agreed a £1.2 billion arms and bombs deal with Saudi Arabia.
The British arms industry relies heavily on the desert despotism, flying flags on government buildings at half-mast when the king died, and turning a blind eye to human rights and women's rights abuses.
Instead, we are told that bombing is the only way to deal with Isis. It will further inflame the Middle East, and possibly will lead to a much wider war.
After 14 years of war across south Asia and the Middle East, millions are the casualties, including those killed in Paris last week. We have to stop those wars.
One of Cameron's aims is to isolate Jeremy Corbyn in his own party, by fomenting rebellion led by right-wing Labour MPs.
We have a big job to do in the weeks ahead protesting, lobbying MPs and building the case against war. Honest accounting from those who voted for past wars is probably not an option.
