Arrival at Airport, Sightseeing in Casablanca + Rabat
We will meet you upon your arrival in Casablanca, the economic capital of Morocco, after which we will take a short tour of the city. We will visit the grounds of the immense Hassan II Mosque, one of the Islamic world's greatest monuments, which features the world's tallest minaret and is the only working mosque in Morocco that can be visited by non-Muslims. After our tour we will depart to Rabat, Morocco's diplomatic and administrative capital. We will briefly introduce you to some of the city's most important sights, including the Kasbah des Oudayas and the Mohammed V Mausoleum, before taking you to your riad or hotel to let you settle in. We will spend the night in Rabat.
Romain Ruins and Imperial Cities
Following breakfast we will visit the ancient Roman ruins of Volubilis, a UNESCO World Heritage site and the best-preserved Roman ruins in North Africa. Despite the damage caused by an earthquake in the year 1755, this important Roman town still preserves detailed mosaics and architecture offering a unique perspective on Morocco's ancient history. We will then continue our journey passing through Meknes, an imperial city often called the "Versailles of Morocco" owing to the grandeur and intricacy of its buildings and monuments, before making our way to Fes, the cultural and spiritual capital of Morocco. In Fes we will check into your hotel before having dinner and settling in for the night.
Fes Sightseeing with Official Local Guide
Following breakfast at the hotel, our accredited local guide will accompany you on a walking tour of the Fes medina. Step back in time as you wander through the labyrinth of twisting alleyways - donkeys and mules pass through the narrow streets, savour the aromas from the market stalls where countless spices and perfumes are traded, and explore the leather tanneries where men treat leather using century old techniques. We'll cap the day with dinner at one of the many local restaurants of the medina then settle in for the evening at your hotel.
Fes to The Sahara + Camel Trek
We continue our journey onwards from Fes to Ifrane, through hills blanketed in forests of cork oak and giant cedar, where a few Barbary apes still call home. Passing through the Middle and High Atlas ranges, we will catch our first glimpse of Southern Morocco's unique architectural style and stop for lunch overlooking a breathtaking view of the dramatic peaks of the High Atlas rising behind the town of Midelt. As we descend into the desert plains, the view changes from dramatic mountain peaks to an expansive oasis punctuated by countless Ksours (fortified villages), which then give way to a vast stony plain that marks the edges of the Sahara. As the mid-day sun wanes, we will mount our camels and trek into the pink sands of the Moroccan Sahara; here, we will have ample free time for you to explore and take in the beauty and vastness of the desert dunes. Once the sun sets, a Moroccan dinner will be served alongside live music around the campfire, after which you are free to explore again - this time in the company of a million stars exploding against the pitch-black sky, and the all-encompassing silence of the Sahara at night.
A Desert Sunrise, Africa's Hollywood and Todra Gorge
At your request, our staff will wake you at the crack of dawn to witness the spectacle of the desert sunrise, the colour of the sand contrasting beautifully with the palette of shadows on the dunes. After some light breakfast and tea we will ride the camels back across the desert to the Kasbah to freshen up before our journey back West towards the Todra Gorge, known as "Morocco's Grand Canyon". We will have lunch here and amble along the valley to take in the view. From there, we continue on to Ouarzazate, a bustling southern city often referred to as "The Hollywood of Morocco" owing to the many famous films shot on location such as Gladiator, Lawrence of Arabia, and Kingdom of Heaven, as well as several seasons of the hit show, Game of Thrones. Here, we will explore the nearby Kasbah Ait Benhaddou, the most famous kasbah inMorocco, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and the backdrop for many of the films and shows shot on location.
Desert Oasis + Ait Ben Haddou, Marrakech by Evening
After breakfast we will drive through the villages of this charming area, passing fields cultivated by Berber women and getting some brilliant views of the Atlas Mountains. Our journey will continue towards Ouarzazate, going off-road along the piste to visit Berber nomads in their caves and join them for a glass of tea. From here, we will continue through the Valley of the Roses, famous for its Rose Festival in May, and past the "Road of 1000 Kasbahs" by the Skoura Oasis before arriving in Ouarzazate. In Ouarzazate, also known as the "Hollywood of Morocco", we will visit the Taouirirt Kasbah and the cinematographic museum before continuing on to Kasbah Ait Benhaddou, the most famous kasbah in Morocco, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and the backdrop for many Hollywood blockbusters such as "Gladiator" "Indiana Jones" and "Lawrence of Arabia". You will have the chance to explore some of the ruined buildings and climb to the top of the hill where the agadir (granary) offers a spectacular view over the village and the surrounding countryside. You may also want to enter one of the houses and share a glass of mint tea with some of the locals to gain a better understanding of their way of life. In the afternoon you'll drive north across the High Atlas Mountains. The road, completed by the French Foreign Legion in 1936, winds up over the Tizi n'Tichka Pass and offers stunning views over the mountains before descending past Berber villages to the plains surrounding Marrakech. Even today, the name Marrakech conjures up scenery from Arabian Nights - alleyways, souks, and market stalls. This remarkable city, with the graceful architecture of the renowned 11th-century Koutoubia Minaret dominating the skyline, never fails to satisfy the curiosity of its visitors. We will arrive back in Marrakech by late afternoon.
Desert Sunrise, Oases, Monkeys, and the Cultural Capitol of Morocco
After breakfast, we will retrace our steps through Erfoud to the dramatic Ziz Gorge, a spectacular gash in the hills that surround the Ziz Oasis, the largest oasis in Morocco. The region is dotted with deserted kasbahs, palm trees, and mud-brick villages, and is a photographer's paradise. After passing through a barren plain of scrub and desert on the other side of the mountains, we will stop for lunch in the town of Midelt, from which we will have a fantastic view of the dramatic peaks of the High Atlas rising behind the town. The different landscapes we will cross is unbelievably diverse, ranging from rocky, sun-baked plains to cedar-covered mountains and deep, spectacular canyons. In the hills south of Azrou we might be lucky enough to spot a troupe of the Barbary Apes that still make their home in the local forests. We head onward to Ifran, the Switzerland of Morocco. After having crossed the plains we will arrive in the evocative city of Fes, which is the cultural capital of Morocco and one of the most complete medieval Islamic cities in the world. Our guide will help you find your riad and leave you to settle in for the night.
Marrakech Sightseeing with Official Local Guide
Breakfast will be served at your Riad, after which a knowledgeable local guide will lead you through the labyrinth of Marrakech's winding alleyways, hidden gardens, and secret souks. You will continue to the Djemaa el Fna, the principal cultural space in Marrakech and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, beside which the minaret of the Koutoubia Mosque can be seen towering into the sky. In the evening this square overflows with food stalls, dancers, acrobats, fortune tellers, musicians, and henna artists. Following your tour you will have the full day to spend at your leisure, whether its pampering yourself at a local spa with massage or further exploring the souks of the medina. We will spend the night at our hotel in Marrakech.

Real Madrid lining up €102m bid for Paulo Dybala
In News total fifa by radmedia_Ricard 23 January, 2019
BERNAT LÓPEZ / © XTREMFOOTBALL
Real Madrid want to sign Paulo Dybala next summer. The Los Blancos are willing to offer 102 million euros for the Juventus star, as reported by The Sun. Dybala has scored 54 goals in 115 games in Serie A but he is considered transferable for Massimiliano Allegri, who has never shown full trust in the Argentinian.
A source quoted by the British newspaper said that "Real is looking for their next Galacticos superstar and Dybala is on top of the wishlist. There has been a lot of interest in him over the last few years but he was always interested in going to Real. Manchester City wanted him too, Pep even followed him when he was at Bayern Munich".
The Los Blancos hierarchy are looking to rebuild their squad at the end of the campaign, with their La Liga title hopes all but over. And the Argentine attacker has been added to the top of their shortlist to join Gareth Bale and Co at the Bernabeu for next season.
Eriksen too?
Real Madrid are prepared to include James Rodriguez in any deal to sign to Tottenham midfielder Christian Eriksen, according to AS. Los Blancos hope that by offering the Colombian star in exchange for Eriksen they can drive down Spurs chairman Daniel Levy's initial asking price.
Rodriguez is currently in the middle of his second year on loan at Bayern Munich, who have an option to make the switch permanent for €42m ($48m, £37m) at the end of the season.

Gainsborough is about 18 miles north-west of Lincoln, and may be accessed either from the A1 or the A15.From the north-west, travel down the A1(M), Doncaster By-pass, then take junction 34, the A614 towards Bawtry. Turn right onto the A631 which will take you straight into Gainsborough.From the South, take the A1 as far as north as the A57 Newark-on-Trent turnoff.On the edge of Newark, turn left onto the A1133 and follow the signs to Gainsborough.
If you are on the A15, Lincoln, then turn left onto the A631 at Caenby Corner, some eight miles north of Lincoln or an equal distance south of the M180.
There is station at Lea Road, Gainsborough, reached by taking a train to Retford in Nottinghamshire, and changing there if you are coming from the south, or from Doncaster if you are travelling from the north.The Gainsborough Central station is closer, but it is a branch line from Lea Road.
You can travel by bus on the Lincoln to Scunthorpe route, no. 100 which stops in Gainsborough.
Once you are in the centre of Gainsborough, follow the brown tourist signs to the Old Hall.
Gainsborough Old Hall is a remarkable example of a house built in the 15 th century as a comfortable home which, unlike the majority of houses of the period, has hardly been altered since its construction.
finally, as the location where the Puritan congregation that would form the core of the Mayflower Pilgrims was sheltered.
The town shows traces of early industry, with redbrick mills amongst the low level modern industrial estates. The Hall and Church are signposted with brown tourist signs and the injunction to park in any of the town car parks.
There is an old high street, with the typical eighteenth century facades over later shop fronts. It is not especially attractive. Around 500 yards from the high street, amongst the rows of Victorian houses, on the site of about two typical blocks is the Hall. It is quite disconcerting to see it surrounded with houses, charitable institutions and some abandoned buildings.
The Hall is owned by English Heritage and it is still part of the life of the town with regular civic events held in it, and frequent weddings.


So you want to be a wizard, but you don't have a wand. You want to be a dementor, but don't have ugly shriveled hands. You want to dress like Dumbledore, but don't have a long flowing beard. You want to be "He who should not be named" but don't have the complexion of an evil demon. What you need are a few Harry Potter accessories.
With the right wand, hand covers, beard or mask you can bring your favorite character to life. Whether you want to complete your costume or just own a memento of your favorite book series, we have so many authentic items to pick from your home just might begin to look a little less Muggle-like and a little more Hogwarts-like!


Norton's 500cc twin found a new home in the racing singles' 'Featherbed' duplex frame in November 1951. Initially for export only, the newcomer - titled 'Dominator 88' - was the first production Norton roadster to feature the lightweight, race-proven chassis. Updated year by year, by the decade's end the Dominator had received an alloy cylinder head, full-width hubs, welded rear subframe, alternator electrics, coil ignition and - for 1960 - the narrower 'slimline' Featherbed frame among countless other improvements.
Introduced for 1956, the 596cc Dominator 99 twin was outwardly identical to its 500cc Dominator 88 brother. Endowed with greater power and higher gearing which enabled it to top the magic 'ton', the 99 nevertheless retained all the excellent handling and steering characteristics associated with the Featherbed chassis. One of the Rockers' favourites, the 99 remained essentially unchanged - apart from gaining alternator/coil-ignition electrics for 1958 - until dropped in 1962.

PLP spokesman says he has resigned over offensive tweets
By Gareth Finighan
Published May 8, 2014 at 8:00 am (Updated May 7, 2014 at 11:31 pm)
Twitter comments: Jamahl Simmons
PLP chairman says he will resign
Mystery still surrounds Wade's PLP status
Walter Byron (1937-2019)
Keeping it in the family
Mobile phones banned from PLP meeting
Progressive Labour Party spokesman Jamahl Simmons has been accused of inciting violence and hate by making "irresponsible" comments on the social media network Twitter.
And Mr Simmons claimed late yesterday, via Twitter, to have resigned from his position within the party after commenting on a number of subjects, including the execution of business bosses and watching society burn down.
The tweets starkly contrast with Mr Simmon's statement in 2010 that "assassination is never a laughing matter", when he spoke out at allegedly threatening online remarks directed to the then Premier Ewart Brown.
In several posts on Sunday he tweeted: "What if we decided that if your business model requires you to abuse your workers and pay slave wages that u need to get out of our country?
"What if we stopped supporting businesses that don't hire us, pay us slave wages and give nothing to the community?
"What would happen if we stopped shooting each other and started putting bullets in the heads of those who hate us and won't hire us?"
"We still on this 'we will always need to bring in workers' + 'There aint enough qualified Bermudians to fill these jobs' BS."
On Tuesday he wrote: "If you are excluded from the society what do you care if society burns? You aint a part of it anyway. It might even be fun to watch it burn."
And last week Mr Simmons threatened two correspondents — 'Insulted' and 'Sydney' — who had written letters to The Royal Gazette editor criticising a radio talk show hosted by his wife, Sherri Simmons.
"Don't tell my wife, but I'm off to slap senseless anyone who looks like the type of tw*t 2 pen a letter under the pen name 'insulted'," Mr Simmons wrote, later adding: "I found insulted and sydney. Now nobody will ever find them again."
On Tuesday The Royal Gazette contacted Mr Simmons — who describes himself as a "PR expert specialising in taking your message to the people and bringing the people to your business" — asking if he stood by his comments.
Although he did not respond directly to this newspaper, he did tweet a message which read: "Breaking News: OBA tries to deflect imminent ThinkMedia JetGate story with indignation over tweets by a political has been."
Later on Tuesday he added: "When I'm not being inflammatory and inciting violence I like to kick back with a martini and watch Dr Who."
Yesterday evening he tweeted he had resigned as spokesman for the Opposition.
"Tomorrow, the OBA will attempt 2 distract from the corruption allegations surrounding JeyGate by attacking me for me personal views," he said.
"As these were my personal views and not endorsed or delivered in my role as P[ublic] R[elations] O[fficer] to the PLP, I will not allow them to be used against my party.
"Thus I officially resign as PRO 2 the PLP to allow the JetGate issue to be pursued without being deflected. I remain a PLP supporter always."
Yesterday Mr Simmons' comments were condemned by Public Safety Minister Michael Dunkley.
"Social media is a valuable tool by which to express opinions and vibrant debate should be encouraged," Mr Dunkley said
"However, it is insensitive and irresponsible to incite violence or hate. Posts about the use of firearms or violence are not acceptable.
"These post cross the line and add nothing to the positive discussion we need to have about fixing Bermuda's problems."
One Bermuda Alliance chairman Thad Hollis added: "Given that we have legislated protection for workers and that the Unions work with all workers to ensure that any abuse is swiftly addressed and remedied, I am surprised at these comments."
Four years ago, Mr Simmons took action against a blogger for making allegedly threatening remarks against former Premier Dr Brown.
In August 2010, when Mr Simmons was working as Dr Brown's press secretary, a poster on the forum Bermuda Is Another World wrote: "OK. point me to the grassy knoll then. actually that would be better now thinking about it. I'll actually have a better shot view, and no one will ever see me. and I can leave without a trace."
The comments were directed at plans for a farewell gala for Premier Brown.
Mr Simmons reported the comment to the police, claiming it suggested "the potential for political violence" and adding that "the so-called joke was no laughing matter".
"While we encourage and support freedom of speech — including anonymous speech — comments alluding to violence and assassination must be taken seriously," he said at the time. "Assassination is never a laughing matter."
Yesterday The Royal Gazette e-mailed Opposition leader Marc Bean asking if he and the PLP endorsed Mr Simmons' comments. No response was received by press time last night.

Q: Way to load separate html templates with template variables and load them into a js variable I'm working on a 3rd party script which will be loaded into the head of a website. For the project, I use webpack to compile the code and libraries.
I did some research to check if webpack brings in some possibilities but all that I saw is more or less static. Because I need to read some live data, precompiled HTML won't be a choice.
I also checked lodash template function but I couldn't load separate HTML files with variables into another variable.
So to be more clear here is an example of what I want to have (kind of):
HTML sometemplate.html file:

              <%
                // repeat items
                _.each(items,function(item){
               %>

<%- item.interests %>

               <%
               });
               %>

And the main js needs such functionality:
let innerHtml = load_as_a_template('./sometemplate.html',items)
let newDomElem = document.createElement('div')
newDomElem.innerHTML = innerHtml

Does someone know a good library capable of loading separate HTML files into a variable and process placeholder variables?

I first heard of Richard Feynman a couple of years ago while looking for a book to read. I was chatting with a mathematician friend and he recommended Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman. Richard Feynman was a brilliant mathematician and physicist, but the book had little to do with that. It was mostly about his curious character and all the wild adventures he got himself into. With the money he won from the Nobel Prize he built a house in in La Mision, Baja California, Mexico.
The house was right on the cliffs above the beach and had a beautiful view of the ocean from all the rooms, as well as a nice patio over looking the beach.
The weather was perfect, santa ana winds blowing in from the desert made it about 85-90F during the day. Warm enough for one person to sleep outside in a hammock at night.
I went horse back riding for the first time ever (on the beach no less, I felt like I was in Spaceballs the entire time, even though I think they're parodying Planet of the Apes in that scene). I went swimming in the ocean in November — well I didn't do too much swimming, it was pretty cold, but had some fun for a little while. We played some horse shoes, ate delicious home cooked meals, watched a pretty sunset. One afternoon a dog came up to our patio, he was friendly and ended up staying with us all evening and throughout the night, in the morning when we woke up he was gone. But about an hour before we left the next day he came back, as if to say goodbye.
As it always seems, the wonderful weekend was far too short and monday morning came too quickly.
Update: The house's official name is Casita Barranca, here's a link with more information and reservation info.

What is Christian Identity?
Translating John 1:11-13
A Christogenea commentary On the Gospel of John is now in progress. Many passages simply do not say what the modern churches think they mean! Don't miss this important and ground-breaking work proving that Christian Identity is indeed fully supported by Scripture.
Don't miss our ongoing series of podcasts The Protocols of Satan, which presents many historical proofs that the infamous Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion are real, and that they have been fulfilled in history by the very same people who dispute their authenticity. Our companion series, The Jews in Medieval Europe, helps to explain how the Protocols have been fulfilled.
Our recent Pragmatic Genesis series explains the Bible from a Christian Identity perspective which reconciles both Old and New Testaments with history and the political and social realities facing the Christian people of Yahweh God today.
A Commentary on the Epistles of Paul has recently been completed at Christogenea.org. This lengthy and in-depth series reveals the true Paul as an apostle of God, a prophet in his own right, and the first teacher of what we call Christian Identity.
Don't miss our recently-completed series of commentaries on the Minor Prophets of the Bible, which has also been used as a vehicle to prove the historicity of the Bible as well as the Provenance of God.

Many of those who wisely reject the universalism of modern denominational churchianity unjustly blame the writings of Paul of Tarsus for the errant positions being trumpeted by those mainstream theologians. However these critics of Paul fail to realize, or at least admit, that the errors of universalism are founded in like manner upon misinterpretations of statements found in the Gospels and other New Testament scriptures, as well as in certain passages found in Paul's letters. One pericope in the gospels which has often been misinterpreted in such a fashion is John 1:11-13, which shall be discussed at length here. Once the New Testament is translated in a proper historical and scriptural context, while maintaining the integrity of scholarly Greek exegesis, it is certain that not only the gospels, but also the letters of Paul and other New Testament scriptures are certainly not universalist, but are rather exclusivist, separatist, containing a consistent message borne only to those nations which had in ancient times descended from the Old Testament Israelites. Those nations are found in the Aryan nations of Europe, and such is fully demonstrable from both history and scripture, and especially from Paul's letters.
In the King James version, John 1:11-13 reads thusly: "11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not. 12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: 13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God." Here the Greek of this pericope shall be examined, one verse at a time.
John 1:11: εἰς τὰ ἴδια ἦλθεν, καὶ οἱ ἴδιοι αὐτὸν οὐ παρέλαβον.
Interpretation of this verse revolves around the two phrases derived from the word ἴδιος (Strong's #2398). By itself, ἴδιος is basically "I. one's own, pertaining to oneself ... 1. private, personal ..." (An Intermediate Greek-English Lexicon Founded Upon The Seventh Edition of Liddell and Scott's Greek-English Lexicon, hereinafter L&S). Here the first occurrence of ἴδιος is the neuter plural, while the second is the masculine plural. Both occurrences of the word appear with the Greek Article, where each phrase is actually a Substantive, a group of words acting as a Noun. Only the second occurrence can refer to people. The first must designate something material. While its rendering is poetic, the King James Version misses this important distinction entirely. The large Ninth Edition of A Greek-English Lexicon by Liddell & Scott (hereinafter L&S,9) has for the phrase τὰ ἴδια "one's own property", citing examples from secular Greek writings. Thayer's Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament (hereinafter Thayer) has for this phrase "one's native land".
For the second phrase derived from ἴδιος here, οἱ ἴδιοι, L&S,9 has "members of one's family, relatives", yet the 1996 Revised Supplement to this edition of the lexicon adds for the singular τὸν ἴδιον "fellow townsman" in addition to "relatives". Thayer says of οἱ ἴδιοι: "one's fellow-countrymen, associates, Jn. i. 11 ...", citing this very passage. Here it shall be stated that οἱ ἴδιοι may just as well be referencing τὰ ἴδια, those people belonging to the land, and not to Yahshua Christ.
It must be realized that not all of the inhabitants of Judaea at the time of Christ's first coming were of His people Israel, as He Himself tells us at John 8:30-47 and 10:26, among other places.
John 8:37-47: "37 I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you. 38 I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father. 39 They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham. 40 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham. 41 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God. 42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. 43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. 44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. 45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not. 46 Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me? 47 He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God."
John 10:26: "But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you."
Rather, Judaea was also populated with the hated Edomites (Malachi 1:1-3, Ezekiel chapters 35 and 36), as Paul explains at Romans 9:1-13, and as attested to by historians such as Strabo (Geography, 16.2.34) and Josephus (Antiquities 13.9.1 [13:254-258]). That these Edomites came to authority in Judaea is also evident in Josephus' Antiquities, along with other historical accounts such as those of Eusebius, and the letters of Paul (i.e. Romans 16:20; 2 Thessalonians 2), and this is the very theme of the parable found at Luke 19:11-27. Therefore οἱ ἴδιοι is here interpreted as referring to "the men of the country", those people inhabiting Judaea in general, and not merely to the relatives of Christ, and this interpretation is certainly in agreement with those definitions provided by the lexicons. The phrase refers not back to Christ, but back to the land: the land's own people, not Christ's own people. John 1:11 may properly be read: "He came into His own land, and the men of [that land, or of] the country received Him not". Or alternatively, if οἱ ἴδιοι refers back not to Christ, but to τὰ ἴδια, the land itself, the verse may be rendered: "He came into His own land, and its inhabitants received Him not", either of these versions fully concurring with the parable in Luke mentioned above, and fitting the context of the entire Bible. Yet there is no distortion of the meaning of the original Greek, while the distinction in the use of the neuter and masculine genders of the phrases which are used is maintained.
John 1:12: ὅσοι δὲ ἔλαβον αὐτόν, ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς ἐξουσίαν τέκνα θεοῦ γενέσθαι, τοῖς πιστεύουσιν εἰς τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ;
The first and third sections of this verse, which I would render "But as many who received Him" and "to those believing in His name", are not matters of dispute when compared to the A.V. rendering of this verse. Where I must differ, however, is with the middle clause, ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς ἐξουσίαν τέκνα θεοῦ γενέσθαι, which the A.V. renders "to them gave he power to become the sons of God".
The word τέκνα (τέκνον, #5043) in this plural form children is ambiguous since the form is the same for both the Nominative and Accusative cases, and it is debatable whether the word is the subject or the object of the verb γενέσθαι, an aorist infinitive form of γίγνομαι (#1096), which in its most basic interpretation is "to come into being" (L&S). Here, for reasons that shall become evident below, I must treat τέκνα as the subject of the verb, in the Nominative case, and not as the object as the A.V. treats the word.
That the verb γίγνομαι may be understood in the active sense, here "to attain", is evident in the Apocrypha at 2 Macc. 13:13, where in his edition of the Septuagint (LXX), Brenton rendered the phrase καὶ γενέσθαι τῆς πόλεως ἐγκρατεῖς simply "and get the city". The King James Apocrypha rendered this same passage in the very same manner, "and get the city". This phrase I would render more literally, and more properly word for word, "and to attain control of the city". Similarly, in my edition of The Records of Luke at Acts 27:16, the phrase περικρατεῖς γενέσθαι τῆς σκάφης is rendered "to attain full control of the skiff". The King James renders that phrase rather strangely: "to come by the boat". These examples clearly support a similar interpretation of the verb as I have translated it in this context here at John 1:12.
The children of Israel cannot "become" children of Yahweh. Being children of Adam, they already are children of Yahweh (Luke 3:38), and are told as much explicitly in the Old Testament (i.e. Deut. 14:1; Isa. 45:11) as well as in the New (Romans 8:14-17; Heb. 2:13-14).
Deuteronomy 14:1: "Ye are the children of the LORD your God..."
Isaiah 45:11: "Thus saith the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me."
Romans 8:16: "The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God."
Hebrews 2:13: "And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me. 14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil..."
Yet Abraham was never told that gentiles, or any alien nations, would somehow become his offspring – as universalist denominational churchianity teaches. And the other races, non-Adamites, are never addressed in the Bible but for a few exceptions where certain tribes are mentioned (i.e. Genesis 15:19-21), or to be pejoratively called "beasts" (i.e. Exodus 19:12-13; Isaiah 56:9; Jeremiah 31:27; Jonah 3:7; Hebrews 12:20), and there is certainly no indication that any of the aliens or the beasts could ever become children of Yahweh! Rather, Abraham was told that his offspring would become many nations (i.e. Genesis 17:4-9; 35:10-11), which the children of Israel did become, which can be evidenced in history, and which Paul explains fully in Romans chapter 4.
With all of this, and without violating any of the rules of Greek grammar, it may certainly be more proper to render John 1:12: "But as many who received Him, He gave to them the authority which children of Yahweh are to attain, to those believing in His name:", and to see what John was referring to, see gospel passages such as those at Matthew 16:18-19; 18:18; and Luke 10:1-16, 17-19. This rendering is therefore consistent with all scripture, while the A.V. rendering of this passage produces serious conflicts which cannot be readily resolved.
Matthew 16:18-19: "18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven."
John 1:12: "But as many who received Him, He gave to them the authority which children of Yahweh are to attain, to those believing in His name."
Matthew 18:18-19: "18 Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. 19 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven."
Luke 10:1-20: 1 After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come. 2 Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest. 3 Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves. 4 Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way. 5 And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house. 6 And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again. 7 And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house. 8 And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you: 9 And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you. 10 But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say, 11 Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you. 12 But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city. 13 Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you, they had a great while ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. 14 But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, than for you. 15 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be thrust down to hell. 16 He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me. 17 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name. 18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. 19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. 20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.
John 1:12: "But as many who received Him, He gave to them the authority which children of Yahweh are to attain, to those believing in His name." This is exactly what John was referring to 60 years later when he recorded these words in reflection upon the things that had transpired during the ministry of Christ. It does NOT give us license today to take squat-monsters out of the jungles of the netherworld and attempt to somehow make them into "children of God"! Rather, upon the restoration of the children of Israel, they, the children of God, will have that same power that the apostles were given. That is the deposit of the Spirit later spoken of by Paul, that is a Christian promise, and that was what John was referencing.
Before proceeding, it may be appropriate to discuss the word translated as adoption in the King James Version, where it appears in Paul's letters at Romans 8:15, 23; 9:4; Galatians 4:5 and Ephesians 1:5. This word is υἱοθεσία (5206), and is literally the placing of a son or the position of a son, son being υἱός (5207). While the word may be used to describe the placing of a son for the purposes of adoption, or for any other purpose, the actual act of adoption is described by the Greek words εἰσποιήσις, which is a noun, and εἰσποιέω, which is a verb. A general theme of the Bible, as reported by the prophets, the gospels, the letters of Paul, and the Revelation, is that Yahweh had put the children of Israel off in punishment, and that the children of Israel would be reconciled to Yahweh through Yahshua Christ. That reconciliation includes the restoration of each Israelite to his or her status as a child of Yahweh, upon a return to obedience, which is a conformance with Christ. Whether one wants to translate υἱοθεσία correctly as the position of a son, the placing of one who is already a son, or a daughter, or incorrectly as adoption is even immaterial in context, since Paul tells us that it pertains to Israel (Romans 9:4), who are "them that were under the law" who Christ came to redeem (Galatians 4:5), and it pertains to no one else! There is no room for universalism in the New Testament, except in the minds of those who would pervert the Word of Yahweh and Yahshua Christ. People would rather take one word out of context, and build their entire world-view upon that one misunderstood word, than actually take the time to read the whole book and consider the context of each word as it appears. People who do such things are those who are described by Paul at Ephesians 4:14 where he described "children tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive."
John 1:13: οἳ οὐκ ἐξ αἱμάτων οὐδὲ ἐκ θελήματος σαρκὸς οὐδὲ ἐκ θελήματος ἀνδρὸς ἀλλ᾽ ἐκ θεοῦ ἐγεννήθησαν.
While all of the ancient mss. are consistent concerning the contents of John 1:11-12, here the 5th century Codex Bezae contains minor differences with a couple of words, although not enough to substantially affect the translation or the points of discussion here. Also, the 4th century Codex Vaticanus is wanting the phrase οὐδὲ ἐκ θελήματος ἀνδρὸς, in the A.V. "nor of the will of man", yet the text given here, from the Nestle-Aland Novum Testamentum Graece, 27th edition (NA27), is sufficiently attested by several other codices and papyri of equal or greater antiquity.
The only point of contention here is the first portion of the verse, specifically the words ἐξ αἱμάτων. The A.V. rendering of the other words, "Which were born not ... nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God", are acceptable. The A.V. has rendered ἐξ αἱμάτων simply "of blood", which I do not find to be acceptable. Using A Concordance To The Greek Testament by W.F. Moulton and A.S. Geden, Fifth Edition revised by H.K. Moulton as a guide, out of as many as 99 occurrences of the word αἷμα (#129), blood in the N.T., this is the only time that the word appears in the plural, and surely for that reason alone the phrase merits investigation. I shall begin by turning to the Greek Old Testament, the Septuagint (LXX).
According to A Concordance to the Septuagint And the Other Greek Versions of the Old Testament (Including the Apocryphal Books) by Edwin Hatch and Henry A. Redpath, Second Edition (H&R), the word αἷμα appears in the plural in the LXX mss. on as many as 53 occasions, counting all listed variations among the LXX mss. as supplied by H&R. Examining the LXX, one must consider also the Hebrew from which the word was translated. The Hebrew Dictionary in Strong's Concordance says of the Hebrew word for blood, dam (#1818): "figuratively (especially in the plural) bloodshed", and this is the obvious meaning in the context in 50 of 53 occasions where αἷμα is found in the plural in the LXX, which are at Judges 9:24; 2 Kings 3:28; 16:7, 8 (bis); 21:1; 3 Kings 2:5, 33; 4 Kings 9:7 (bis), 26 (bis); 1 Chronicles 22:8; 28:3; 2 Chronicles 30:16; Esther 8:13; Psalms 5:6; 9:12; 15:4; 25:9; 50:14; 54:23; 58:2; 105:39; 138:19; Proverbs 29:10; Jeremiah 2:34; 19:4; Ezekiel 16:36; 22:2, 3 (bis), 13; 23:45; 24:6, 7, 9, 14; Micah 3:10; 7:2; Nahum 3:1; Habakkuk 2:8, 12, 17; Sirach 22:24; 31 (34):21; 1 Maccabees 7:17 and 2 Maccabees 8:3; 14:18 and 45. In all of these places it is apparent, and significantly important to notice, that the translators maintained the Hebraism, writing αἷμα in the plural where bloodshed is implicated, wherever the Hebrew word for blood had apparently been in the plural in the original. Twice Brenton's translation recognizes this idiom, where he rendered the word "blood-guiltiness" at Psa. 50:14, and "bloodshed" at Ezek. 24:14. However if one reads all of these passages, it will be apparent that they all may have been, and should have been, rendered in this same manner.
Of the other 3 occasions where αἷμα is plural in the LXX mss., one is at Amos 2:4 where only the Codex Alexandrinus has αἷματα, "bloods", in place of μάταια, "vanities", in all other mss., which is an obvious gloss, examining the context. The final two occurrences of αἷμα in the plural are found at Hosea 4:2, where the word appears twice, and the Greek καὶ μοιχειά κέχυται ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, καὶ αἷματα ἐφ̉' αἷμασι μίγουσι is rendered by Brenton: "and adultery abound in the land, and they mingle blood with blood", even though "blood" here is plural on both occasions. This statement by Hosea is an obvious reference to race-mixing. Although the A.V. version is somewhat different, Brenton's translation is faithful to the Greek of the LXX texts, which obviously differs from the Masoretic Text here.
Now returning to the New Testament, apart from the passage at John 1:13, αἷμα appears on 98 other occasions, including the spurious interpolation found in Luke 22:43-44, and where the word is found in some mss. at Acts 17:26, and where at the end of Matt. 27:49 some mss. contain a line which is similar to the text of John 19:34 but which is not found in the A.V. Of all these 98 other occurrences, αἷμα appears in the plural twice, and only in a couple of mss. The first is at Rev. 16:6, in the Codex Sinaiticus, where it appears in that ms. to be a gloss for the Hebraism since the context is bloodshed. All other codices and papyri have αἷμα in the singular at Rev. 16:6. The second is at Rev. 18:24, where the text upon which the A.V. is based, the Textus Receptus or Majority Text which is actually a large collection of late Medieval mss., has αἷμα in the plural, as do a couple of 10th century mss. designated 046 and 051 in the NA27. All of the older mss., some which date from the 4th and 5th centuries, have αἷμα in the singular here also. Therefore it is relatively safe to say that αἷμα appears in the plural in the N.T. only at this one passage, John 1:13, which all of the extant mss. of John attest, and that even the Hebraistic use of the word, where it is rendered in the plural where bloodshed is meant, did not carry over into the New Testament scriptures.
Thayer has at αἷμα, in part: "Since the first germs of animal life are thought to be in the blood ... the word serves to denote generation and origin (in the classics also): Jn. i. 13", citing this very passage. L&S has at αἷμα, in part: "blood ... III. like Latin sanguis, blood-relationship, kin ... ὁ πρὸς αἷματος one of the blood or race ...". Likewise L&S,9: "blood ... III. blood-relationship, kin ... blood or origin ...". And here in John 1:13 where αἷμα appears in the plural, Thayer and the other lexicographers admitting that even here it refers to origin, it must denote multiple origins, i.e. mixed blood, bloods, as Thayer himself nearly suggests, but where he does not himself address the plural form but rather he ignored it, and also as the usage of the plural at Hosea 4:2 in the LXX suggests, where it is speaking of adultery in the context of adulterous race-mixing.
Since the Hebraism concerning bloodshed certainly does not fit the context for the plural of αἷμα, at John 1:13, and that Hebraism appears nowhere else in the Gospels, even though bloodshed is often discussed (i.e. Luke 11:47-51), this explanation that the word denotes mixed origins here is the only valid alternative. Otherwise, why else should the word appear in the plural here only, of all places? And why does the word appear here at all, when in so many places in the N.T. γενεά (1074) and γένος (1085) are used of race and birth, rather than αἷμα? The plural of αἷμα here was used to convey a specific meaning, which other words and phrases could not do in so simple and eloquent a manner, especially in conjunction with the phrases which follow, concerning carnal desires and the will of man in opposition to that of Yahweh. For it is unchecked carnal desire which got Adamic man into trouble from the beginning, which is evident in Genesis chapter 3.
While all of the children of Adam were created from one (and the appearance of the word blood at Acts 17:26 is refuted by the older and better mss.), Adam was not merely the first man, but the first White man, as attested to by the Biblical and historical records, the anthropological and archaeological records, and the very meaning of the word adam in Hebrew. That reading mixed origins for the plural of αἷμα makes sense in the Biblical context here in John 1:13, as we have just explained, is fully realized once it is understood that the Judaean nation consisted of both Edomites and Israelites, and Esau, father of the Edomites, took his wives of the Canaanite races (Gen. 36), who themselves were mixed with the Kenites (descendants of Cain) and other non-Adamic races (Genesis 15:19-20) such as the Kenizzites, Kadmonites and Perizzites who did not descend from Adam (cf. Genesis 10) and were aboriginal, non-Adamic peoples of unrecorded origin, along with the Rephaim descendants of the fallen angels.
Seeing that the Edomites of Judaea were, in part, descendants of Cain, one can understand how Herod, an Edomite (as Josephus often attests in his histories), could be representative of Satan, the serpent, et al., which attempted to destroy the Christ child (Revelation 12:4), and only Herod the Edomite fulfilled such a description, as the opening chapters of Matthew's Gospel attest. One this is understood, one can also understand how the serpent's seed had bruised the heel of the seed of the woman (Genesis 3:15), and many other aspects of the Old and New Testaments.
With all of this, I shall read John 1:11-13 thusly, and fully within the constructs and meanings of the Koine Greek as described above: "11 He came into His own land, and the men of the country received Him not. 12 But as many who received Him, He gave to them the authority which children of Yahweh are to attain, to those believing in His name: 13 not those from of mixed origin, nor those from of the desire of the flesh, nor from of the will of man, but they who have been born from Yahweh".
Those born from Yahweh can only be those descendants of Adam endowed with the Spirit of Yahweh (Genesis 2:7), born in accordance with His law of "kind after kind" (i.e. Genesis 1:11, 12, 21, 24, 25; Leviticus 19:19 et al.), rather than in fornication which is the pursuit of strange (ἕτερος, #2087, other or different) flesh (Jude 7). Rather, Adam and Eve are our example as they were of the same flesh (Genesis 2:23)! For this reason Paul warned the Corinthians not to commit fornication, as their ancestors once did with the Moabite women, and twenty-three thousand of them were slain (1 Corinthians 10). By this Paul refers back to Numbers chapter 25 and the events recorded there. The Israelites were not punished so severely for mere idolatry here, but for fornicating with Moabite women: for the Baal religions were nothing but fertility rituals which were culminated in sexual unions! In this chapter Phineas slays a man, not upon some foreign altar, but who was coupled with a foreign woman. For his action, Phineas was greatly rewarded! The day is coming, praise Yahweh, when there shall be many more like Phineas. Soon we shall hear the call, Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion.
The phrase "of mixed blood" is commonly used of people with multi-racial backgrounds. Had the KJV rendered αἱμάτων at John 1:13 literally, "of bloods" rather than "of blood", surely many of our people might have recognized the meaning of such language, and they might have asked the newfangled liberal pastors of recent times some hard questions, rather than being led astray by such an erroneous premise. At the very least, the KJV and other modern versions may have rendered John 1:13: "Which were born, not of bloods, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God." Yet there always seems to be a soapbox somewhere, from atop which some liberal humanist – usually a jew or someone of some other mixed race – is found preaching the "brotherhood of man" and other universalist punch-lines, and deceiving the sheep! Yet clearly John tells us that it is not the will of the flesh – which is lust – which shall prevail, nor the will of man – which is humanism – but rather the will of Yahweh shall prevail! On which end of Phineas' spear should one be found? One's world-view, based upon what one has perceived to be true, but which is not necessarily so, is a good indication of the answer to that question.

Seminar - Tackling the Illegal Wildlife Trade from China's Epicentre
12:30 pmLecture Theatre, Oxford Martin School, 34 Broad Street, Oxford
The illegal wildlife trade undermines our global commitment to protect threatened biodiversity. Being a key destination in Asia, China needs to play a leading role in reducing demand for illegal wildlife products so as to reverse the unsustainable trend. During this talk Ming will discuss ongoing projects that his team are working on from Guangzhou, where they are based, which is widely considered as the epicenter of illegal wildlife trade in Mainland China. He will draw on the team's interdisciplinary approaches to tackle these complex illegal wildlife trade challenges. Partnering with local and international groups (including Oxford Martin Programme on the Illegal Wildlife Trade and Wildlife Conservation Society), they hope to develop data-informed strategies by understanding the domestic trends and drivers of wildlife trade in China, the dynamics of local medicinal and wildlife markets, and the motivation and behaviour of local and overseas Chinese consumers of wildlife products.
To register and for more information: https://www.oxfordmartin.ox.ac.uk/event/2662
To watch the live webcast see below or: https://youtu.be/6XI9RvWHPYw
All welcome to attend this one-hour seminar.
Ming is an Oxford Martin Visiting Fellow on the Oxford Martin Programme on the Illegal Wildlife Trade and a trained conservation scientist. He defended his PhD thesis at the University of California. He completed two fellowships from Columbia and Yale Universities (Earth Institute) and Princeton University (Woodrow Wilson School).
Taking a break from academia, he worked as a data scientist in an NYC educational technology company. In 2017, he started a prestigious professorship position at the Department of Ecology and Evolution at Sun Yat-sen University, China. His team takes interdisciplinary and novel approaches to address illegal wildlife trade and sustainability issues in China.

This is the space where all the life in your home happens. Your kids play with their crayons and markers on this floor. A glass of wine or two may have also been spilled here. Let's also not forget all the times you sent the dipping sauce flying from the coffee table after that game winning goal.
Chances are there is a lot of shelving space where you displayed your most valued belongings, and chances are those areas collected a lot of dust. Our thorough cleaning services also provide dusting and wood polishing as well as furniture cleaning.
No other room in the house or flat will likely see as much grease and grime as the kitchen. The most consistently used space in the home, the kitchen requires special attention to detail. From cleaning inside cabinets and scrubbing backsplashes to eliminating odours from the refrigerator and deep cleaning years of oven use, we can clean it all.
We use special cleaners that help to eliminate 99.99% of illness-causing bacteria and germs. Heavy grease stains in the tile grout are no match for our professional cleaners who are experienced at treating the toughest stains the city of London has to offer!
The place where you sleep, probably eat, and the place where your pets probably spend the most time. The bedroom is the place your dirty clothes have likely sat the longest. Our cleaning services will go through the bedroom with a fine-tooth comb to finally remove that piece of broccoli that went missing behind the bed several months ago.
We'll even work to remove pesky stains from the walls. If you sleep without a headboard, chances are oil stains transferred from your head to your pillow and finally to the wall have left a dark shadow on the wall where your bed was located.
We will leave your old bedroom looking like new!
The factors that make this particular room in need of cleaning can best be left unsaid. Nevertheless, the bathroom can be a veritable petri dish of bacteria and unhealthy microbes. What is more, long-standing water can cause mould and mildew to form, especially in the tub or shower.
At this point, it is more than just about cleanliness and about eliminating a health hazard. Stains in and around the toilet that have built up over time are no match for our professional cleaners either.
Thinking of renting? Do your research!
You are looking for a move out cleaning company in London, you better know this.

Deloitte role models recognised in OUTstanding lists 2016 for contribution to lesbian, gay, bi and trans (LGBT) inclusion
Deloitte's Managing Partner for Global Markets, Sharon Thorne, and Human Capital manager, Em Sendall, have again been recognised for their contributions to LGBT inclusion in today's Financial Times. The 2016 OUTstanding Leading LGBT & Ally Executives and the LGBT Future Leaders Lists recognise individuals working to create an inclusive workplace for all, and effecting positive change for LGBT people in particular. All nominees were deemed to have achieved this over and above their day job.
Sharon Thorne was ranked 26th in the Ally Executives List, which features business leaders who do not themselves identify as LGBT, but have been champions of inclusion for LGBT people. In 2007 Sharon established Deloitte's diversity networks, including GLOBE, the LGBT network. She is now the network's Executive sponsor, and gives senior support to initiatives such as the firm's LGBT Allies Programme. Sharon has recently been focusing on encouraging inclusion throughout Deloitte's global network, with recently established formal networks in Germany, Netherlands and Ireland. She acts as a mentor to a number of LGBT people and has spoken at several significant LGBT events including the Out & Equal LGBT Workplace Summit.
Sharon comments: "We know that for LGBT applicants, the existence of GLOBE can be a deciding factor when considering working here. Creating an environment where individuals can fully be themselves is the responsibility of us all. Our highly visible Allies Programme sends an explicit message of inclusion, especially for new joiners and people unsure about coming out. I'm immensely proud of all that Deloitte has achieved so far in relation to LGBT inclusion."
Em Sendall, a senior manager in Deloitte's Human Capital practice, and co-chair of GLOBE was ranked 12th in the Future LGBT Leaders List. For nearly ten years Em has been a visible LGBT role model in the business. She has arranged a series of CXO discussion dinners focused on LGBT inclusion, and supported the development of GLOBE communities in Deloitte UK's regional offices. She is also driving a programme of trans inclusion activities at the firm, including policy development and associated HR support. Em regularly speaks about D&I and LGBT inclusion and provides informal mentoring and coaching to more junior LGBT colleagues.
Em remarks: "My involvement in GLOBE is a fundamental part of my experience at Deloitte and I'm so proud of all we have achieved. As someone who has not always been openly gay, I recognise that coming out can be a very challenging experience. Creating a culture that allows everyone to be themselves is critical to building a workplace where people can perform at their best. We have a clear set of actions to ensure this culture is experienced by all our people, combining education and awareness-raising alongside communities, networks and specific initiatives such as our LGBT Allies Programme."

Say Anything have always strived to be one of the more interesting and eccentric acts in modern punk rock over their twelve-year career. Their sixth album, 'Anarchy, My Dear', pushes their left-field take on the genre forward with a rawer, more intense sound and lyrics that seek to subvert the rules of society. Frontman and primary songwriter Max Bemis recently spoke to Kill Your Stereo about the new album and the band's upcoming Australian tour with The Getaway Plan.
Tell me a bit about yourself and your role in the band?
My name is Max. I sing and write the songs and play the instruments on the record, except for drums. Live, I just sing. I started the band with the drummer Coby (Linder) twelve years ago and kind of did most of the behind the scenes stuff as well. I'm married, I live in Texas even though I grew up in LA and New York. I'm a huge comic book fan and a neurotic character, one might say.
What was the songwriting process like for 'Anarchy, My Dear'? Did it differ from your previous album?
No, the songwriting process is always very similar on all our records. It always begins with me writing a song on an acoustic guitar and I bring the shell of a song. I have a vision of it in my head and I bring it to Toby who helps me write it. I think we purposefully stuck to that and think we'll always stick to that formula, because it defines Say Anything.
What were the musical influences behind the album's sound and attitude?
There's a lot of the same bands that go without saying, like The Beatles, Green Day and things like that that are just ingrained in the fabric; Queen, bands that every Say Anything record kind of sounds like. I'll never escape that. I think when we came to this record I felt a lot more happy with what's going on today than I did on the last couple of records, so I felt comfortable straying a bit from the formula more. My favourite band of the last couple of years has been Japandroids. They're like my favourite band that I've discovered in the past five-to-ten years, and there's a lot of bands that we know or sort of know, who work with the same people and aren't much older or younger than us, like Surfer Blood, they're pretty young. It's a lot of people my own age and maybe a little younger, and I would hear a lot of stuff that's not that far off from what I'd like music to be. I felt unashamed making that was current. I feel like our last record was a throwback in a way. As bands like Fleet Foxes and Arcade Fire were blowing up around the time of our last record and a lot of Nu Metal was being played and the crappy, worst parts of emo were having their death-cry, I felt the need to reach back to what I grew up with like stadium rock and pop rock. On this record, I didn't feel bad about being a modern indie rock band.
Lyrically, the album is unified by a subversion of the rules that society places on itself. Was it intentional to link the songs together in this way?
Yeah, very intentional. I think I would've done it even if it wasn't intentional because that's basically what I was thinking about when I wrote the record. I think I'm the type of person who likes to put things together in a grand scheme, so once I realised that's what I wanted to write about I was pretty forthright about injecting that into all the lyrics and the artwork and everything.
What was it like to reunite with producer Tim O'Heir?
It was amazing. He's one of my favourite producers to work with, he's a genius and he really gets me. It was just easy, he's a very easy person to work and a pleasure to be around.
Do you feel that the album's writing and production managed to capture the live energy of the band?
Yeah, I do. Tim is a big fan of bands like The Clash that sort of took punk in a creative direction rather than hammering you over the head, but at the same time we love this raw, live-sounding stuff. I think especially with what we were trying to do, we were able to harness the energy of the band in a live setting much more than any album… that we've done, not in general!
You've described 'Anarchy, My Dear' as a "true 'punk' record". What do you say to critics who disagree with this?
I haven't really seen anyone disagree with the fact that it's definitely a punk record about subversion and anarchy and destroying society, I mean, you can't really argue with that. It's not really a matter of what people think, it just is.
On '…Is A Real Boy', you said you wanted to outdo Andy Warhol and Jesus. Are there any famous figures you tried to outdo on this album?
I guess, to be honest, no one famous, but I really wanted to outdo the bands that I have been enjoying and the bands I'm surrounded by. I think there is a very competitive drive in me when I make music and not for the sake of wanting to feel cooler or we did better than someone, but more so that I get bored listening to my own music if I don't think it can compete with what I love. I think I was more so trying to outdo everyone around me making music.
So it was basically trying to keep up with your peers?
Exactly, and not even my peers, not even music I necessarily liked, just everything that was going on and especially stuff I was into.
The band is set to return to Australia for the first time since Soundwave 2009. What are you most looking forward to about coming back?
The fact that we're headlining, I would say, is the thing I'm most excited about. Last time we were just on a festival route. It's always exciting, every town, every city and every country has their own flavour about how they react to a headlining set from us, and I love doing our thing and spreading our gospel, so to speak, in places that we haven't been. I'm excited to see how people react to it and it's usually interesting and fun and people have these great, varied reactions. It's a new thing every night with us.
Is it daunting returning to play in a headline role this time?
No, I don't feel daunted at all. If anything, I feel a lot more excited playing for crowds that generally know who we are. There were a lot of fans, but it was this huge festival with Nine Inch Nails headlining, so there were a lot of people who had never heard of Say Anything. At a headline show, everyone would have at least heard of us. I really do enjoy festivals and I really do enjoy opening for other bands, but how can you compete with really indulging with what you do to the most extent in terms of a live show? It's hard to compete with that.
You've started up your fan songwriting service again. Is it difficult to write song after song for complete strangers?
I don't find it difficult, although I do find it to be time consuming. At the same time, I am lucky that I get to do it and it's extremely fun and rewarding. The only thing is that it requires a lot of time and concentration and effort. I'm rewarded for it, and it's one of the greatest creative endeavours I've been a part of, and I feel very proud of it and proud of the effect that it's had on the people who have bought a song. I can't complain about the fact that it takes a lot of time. The length depends, but I do bang them out fairly quickly. You won't really catch me spending hours on a Song Shop song unless there's some special condition to it, or I'm like really tired and having a hard time, but that's rare.
Are there any Song Shop songs that are particularly memorable?
Yeah, there's so many. What was particularly memorable was that I did this whole album for this one girl, who is actually from Australia. It was nine songs and it was crazy. She really had gone through a lot in her life, so every song had this serious gravity to it and there was no throwaway. Every song was this dramatic event or this perception of herself, and I really connected with what she was feeling and thinking and it didn't let up. There was like nine songs in a row of really intense shit. Whereas once in a while I'll get a song for a first dance or wedding, it's not like I'm having to dredge up my own pain to write that song. It's more of a pleasant experience, as opposed to here where I was really reaching for every song.
Will any of the songs ever be formally released?
I think part of the appeal to me as a creative soul is that these songs are out there and no one will ever hear them. I think that's pretty rare when it comes to musicians in any semi-successful band, where you can say that there's two thousand songs out there and only twenty percent will every be heard and the rest are just a special thing between me and the person who bought it.
It sounds like you have a lot of artistic integrity.
That I have it? Who knows, I'd like to think I do and I try to have it but I'm subject to the pitfalls of being a creative soul, which involves kind of being a tool, no matter how cool of a person you are. I've always acknowledged that if you think your problems are worth everyone singing about it and hearing about it, there's a part of you that's a little messed up. I'm proud of it though, but I can't claim to be a perfect person.
Will we be seeing any activity from Two Tongues in the future?
I wouldn't say the near future, but definitely within the next couple of years. Me and Chris (Conley) have been planning on doing something sooner than later, but I can't say the very near future. Definitely it will happen and it's not going to be a ridiculously long time. I've got other stuff I'm working on and Chris has other stuff he's working on and it's just a matter of making sure it's the right timing.
What does the rest of 2012 hold for Say Anything?
We're going to Australia and then we have a tour in the fall. There's actually some really cool stuff coming up that I can't quite talk about yet, but there will actually be more stuff happening this year that people can conceive of. I know it's a huge tease, but it's a truth.
Is that hinting towards a possible release?
Yeah, that's all I'll say about it, but yes.
Are there any comments you'd like to finish on?
I'm gracious that people so far away from my home have heard in my band in Australia and you guys are invaluable to us, so thank you.


The perverted Pop-Tarts combination the brand reported to the police.
People are tweeting disgusting food combinations at Pop-Tarts.
Pop-Tarts jokingly reported one particularly horrific combination to the police.
Pop-Tarts is speaking out against disgusting food combinations — and has even reported one misguided Pop-Tart creation to the police.
A meme emerged on Twitter over the last month, in which people showcase horrific Pop-Tart creations.
Pop-Tart perversions include Pop-Tarts with ketchup, with ranch dressing, and meat.
However, Pop-Tarts most powerful action taken against someone perpetrating a culinary crime is to literally report them to the police.
Pop-Tarts quickly alerted the Illinois State Police Twitter account of the tweet, and the Dixon, Illinois Police Department sprang into action.
At some point, the offending tweet disappeared, though, the user says he didn't delete it. All in all, Pop-Tarts claimed a win, but the Twitter account has continued to be flooded with photos of disgusting Pop-Tart combinations.

WTE PRESIDENTS NEW YEAR MESSAGE
The past year has been one of the most difficult years we have seen in modern history.
Many people around the world has been suffering from the Corona COVID-19 virus. Also in Europe, many people face tragedy and dispair. It is my sincere hope that this new year will bring hope and prosperity to all mankind.
With great sadness we heard about the news of the passing of our good and beloved friend, General Ahmed Fouly. General Fouly was not only a good friend, but also an inspiring leader. Under his devoted leadership, Taekwondo in Afrika was not only flourishing but made also giant leaps forward. But above all, General Fouly was an amazing and loving family man. We all wish his wife, children and grandchildren strenght in these difficult times.
The previous year was also very challenging for our organization and our members. Our core business was all of a sudden stopped, our revenues evaporated and we had to rethink our strategy. From March on, our events were cancelled and only in November and December we were able to host events in compliance with health and safety precautions guaranteeing the safety of our athletes, coaches and officials.
With our motto " Innovations in Motion", our team developped online competitions and together with our elite athletes we offered our members activities in an online environment. Together with WT, we also were able to host multiple online educational courses for our coaches, referees and officials.
With the start of 2021, we are all looking forward to the Tokyo Olympic. With the vaccines been distributed all over the world, we hope that we can celebrate the Olympic Games in the upcoming summer. We have made all preparations to provide our athletes the best possible pathway to reach their Olympic dreams.
I am very proud that we have secured a place for our sport in the program of the 2023 European Games. This would never has been possible with the efforts of our Vice-president,secretary general and the Council members and the Mnas Presidents. Their lobby with their contacts at the EOC and NOCs has brought us this amazing result. I would like to express my deepest gratitude to all who helped us achieving this important milestone.
To all athletes, coaches, referees and officials I would like to say the following: stay positive for the future! We will continue to work for you, to provide you with the best events and education and we will create an atmosphere in which you can reach your goals and ambitions.
I would like to express my sincere appreciation to dr. Choue for his visionary leadership in these difficult time. The ties between WT and WTE has never been stronger and for that I am very thankful.
Finally, I wish you and your love ones a loving, healthy and above all a successful 2021!

Q: current requets sql azure i have a database in azure that throw this error:

in azure portal i have 120 current request(in my rate plane) but when i run query to get my current request show only get one current request.
SELECT COUNT(*) AS [Concurrent_Requests] FROM sys.dm_exec_requests R

i need configure in azure portal or need to run some query???
how can get all my current request in my database???

A: That means that you are out of connections and they are exhausted. Try to see sys.resource_stats view - that will say if you hit any limits that are in place in the case of SQL Azure. And, what is more important, make sure that you open and close your connections explicitly.
Another way could be to use Max Pool Size parameter in your conn string, but according to the error message, i do not think that is gonna to work.
