The favored messaging app, Telegram, has another main replace for its customers this vacation season. The messaging app's twelfth replace of the 12 months has come out, with a number of thrilling options, like messaging reactions and spoiler textual content, that can give customers some extra choices on the platform.
Table of Content
The most recent Telegram replace is filled with new options and was introduced in a weblog submit on the corporate's web site earlier this week.
The corporate kicks off this replace with the addition of reactions to messages. Now, customers will have the ability to use a handful of Telegram's animated emoji to react to messages despatched on the app. Reactions are enabled by default on all non-public chats, and admins are capable of management the form of reactions which might be utilized in group chats.
The app additionally bought a extremely cool function that can assist defend customers from potential film or TV present spoilers in group or non-public messages.
Merely spotlight a portion of the textual content that you just wish to be hidden as a spoiler and select the brand new "Spoiler" formatting. The textual content shall be hidden till the reader needs to see what's hidden.
Then, they simply faucet the blurred textual content and the spoiler shall be revealed. This function appears actually cool, however it will have been good if Telegram had taken its personal recommendation in not spoiling films (if you happen to haven't seen the latest Spider-Man: No Manner Residence film, the Telegram weblog submit accommodates a minor spoiler, so proceed with warning).
The replace additionally features a few extra options, like redesigned menus for macOS and extra interactive emoji that customers can ship backwards and forwards. The app has additionally added the power to generate a QR code for anybody that has a public profile, making it simpler to showcase somebody's Telegram profile.

And all that work has seemingly paid off, because the app took the fifth-place spot for probably the most downloaded app worldwide in 2021. It will likely be attention-grabbing to see how Telegram evolves in 2022.

Donkeys are constantly beaten for fun - not in real life, but in games.
Most kids spent at least one birthday party playing Pin the Tail on the Donkey, the popular game where a blindfolded child is handed a donkey tail with a pin at the end and instructed to try and place it on just the right spot on a picture of a tail-less donkey taped on the wall. (Variations are more or less endless. We remember playing pin the tail on Eeyore, pin the baseball in the mitt and pin the nose on the clown, and so on ad infinitum.) Hijinks ensue when participants actually pin the tail on the shoulder, or the front hoof, or the sky, or wander off altogether.
Pin the Tail on the Donkey was basically the Cards Against Humanity of its time: a party game that went viral. Versions of the game, also called "Donkey Party," started being copyrighted and printed as early as around 1875. The Early Sports and Pop Culture Blog has dug up what may be some of the earliest print references to the game, which credits its origins to Milwaukee.
In 1887, the newspaper The Washington Critic called Pin the Tail on the Donkey parties "the latest thing in the way of a social gathering in Milwaukee," in a story about how the game was spreading throughout the country. It infiltrated New York that same year, and Jefferson, Missouri, where a newspaper report called the game "latest social wrinkle that is convulsing capitol society." To be clear, these were adults and they seemed to be having a hell of a lot of fun. (Why the donkey was chosen for this particular game is more unclear; there could be political origins with the donkey's association with the Democratic Party, but that tie hasn't been established.)
Parents in the UK have voiced their concern over the safety of the pins that children use to affix the tail.
The game has come under fire in recent years, though it's not in defense of the abuse of donkeys. Parents in the UK have voiced their concern over the safety of the pins that children use to affix the tail (helicopter parents, it seemed, aren't limited to this side of the pond). But the Daily Mail reports pinprick fears could be minimized because the piñata — another game where donkeys are beaten for fun — has overtaken Pin the Tail on the Donkey in the party game pantheon.
In case you don't remember how piñatas work, participants are blindfolded, handed a blunt instrument (usually a baseball bat or stick), spun in a few circles until they become disoriented, and then told to try and hit the piñata with a stick until it breaks open and treats fall out.
Though piñatas come in all sorts of shapes and sizes ranging from a star to Dora the Explorer, the donkey is one of the most common shapes. This is thanks to the piñata's association with the day of Our Lady of Guadalupe, December 12, which celebrates the appearance of the Virgin Mary to a peasant outside of Mexico City with prayer, festivities and plenty of piñatas. The donkey is one of the most popular shapes because it represents the beast that the Virgin Mary rode on. So the next time you're at a party where there's a piñata, remember: Beating a donkey-shaped effigy at a party is actually a way of venerating the animal.

Legacy PC
Legacy is an economic strategy game that revolves around constructing inventions and then distributing them.
Legacy Release Date PC
developer: 22cans publisher: 22cans Official website
game language: English
Legacy is an economic strategy game in which we manage a company producing and selling inventions. It was developed by 22cans, also known for Godus, Curiosity: What's Inside the Cube? and The Trail: Frontier Challenge. The game's creative lead is Peter Molyneux, known for Dungeon Keeper, Populous and Black & White.
The game expands upon the ideas from The Entrepreneur, a 1984 text-based economic strategy game, Peter Molyneux's first project. Legacy has us playing as an inventor, combining various components to create new things. The player has lots of creative freedom, being able to construct toys, buildings, tools, electrical devices and many others. One can also go completely nuts, creating such things as a skateboard armed with live ammo.
Noteworthy inventions will start selling in large amounts. Once they do, the game gains some company management mechanics. We must hire employees, order lots of resources, build factories, balance expenses and income.
Legacy forces players to make difficult decisions, as being a good employer runs contrary to reaching the top of the business world. To achieve success, we must put morality aside.
Game modes
Legacy only supports solo play.
Technical aspects
The game features appealing, 3D visuals and a cartoonish artstyle, with slightly exaggerated, over-the-top characters.

The Smoky River Regional Physician Recruitment and Retention Committee (SRRPR&R) held a Rural Health Appreciation Coffee Break, at McLennan Hospital cafeteria at 10am, June 19.
The event has been running for 7 years and all hospital staff are invited to the coffee break including kitchen, janitorial, nursing, physicians, paramedic's, public health, physiotherapist, administration etc.
On June 19, SRRPR&R Coordinator Myrna Lanctot was on hand to welcome those who dropped by to relax and enjoy a cup of coffee and a snack.
The event is a way for the committee to acknowledge and thank everyone who works at the hospital for the part they play in providing health care to this region.
The first year of the Rural Health Appreciation Break, the SRRPR&R held a pancake breakfast and for the past 6 years they have used a themed event when thanking the staff for the work they do in our communities.
This year's theme was Hawaiian, reflected in the flower petals strewn decoratively on the hospital cafeteria tables.
Rural Health Appreciation Coffee Breaks also happen at each of the two clinics in Falher and McLennan as the physicians and their office staff cannot get to the hospital to enjoy a break.
The SRRPR&R is comprised of 10 members. The municipalities of Donnelly, Girouxville, McLennan, and Falher, are represented on the committee, as is the MD of Smoky River #130.
The McLennan Medical Associate Clinic, Falher Medical Clinic, site Manager of the Sacred Heart Community Support Services, Alberta Health Services Coordinator for Health Services in French, and Family Community Support Services are on the committee.

The Lakers are finalizing a trade for Wizards forward Rui Hachimura with the intention of signing him to a contract extension, per Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.
In other words, they view Hachimura as part of their long-term plans. He would otherwise be a restricted free agent this summer — and his contract status while with the Wizards seemed to be a sticking point.
Instead, the Wizards are apparently more focused on signing forward Kyle Kuzma to a larger deal this offseason. In Washington, Hachimura was seemingly becoming a victim of a numbers game, with the forward spot also featuring the likes of Kuzma, Kristaps Porzingis (when healthy), Deni Avdija and even Corey Kispert.
In exchange for Hachimura, the Wizards will receive guard Kendrick Nunn, the Bulls' 2023 second-round pick, the Lakers' 2029 second-rounder and the less favorable of the Wizards/Lakers 2028 second-rounder, as first reported by Shams Charania of The Athletic.
"I just want to be somewhere that wants me as a basketball player," Hachimura said recently, via Ava Wallace of the Washington Post. "And I want to be somewhere that loves my — likes my game, you know? … I just want to be somewhere that trusts, believes in me. Just I can be myself — that's my goal."
Hachimura, 24, is 6-foot-8 and was selected by the Wizards out of Gonzaga with the No. 9 overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft. He is averaging 13.0 points and 4.3 rebounds in 30 games this season, shooting 49 percent from the field.
The best season of his four-year career came in 2020-21, his second in the league, when he averaged 13.8 points and 5.5 rebounds in 57 games.
He had also been drawing interest from the Mavericks, Kings and Bucks, according to a HoopsHype report and Hoops Wire sources.
Nunn, 27, is 6-2 and has been a bit player for the Lakers since arriving ahead of the 2021-22 season. He missed all of last year with an injury, and is averaging 6.7 points on 41 percent shooting in 39 appearances this year.
This becomes the second notable trade between the Lakers and Wizards in recent years, with Los Angeles landing guard Russell Westbrook from Washington back on July 21, 2021.

text: INTRODUCTION: 1. The world is now entering the most perilous era of human history. The stage is being set for the final, the great, apostasy. 2. Those of you who are students of Biblical prophecy, think about what has happened in the world in the last couple of decades, things you would not have dared to imagine twenty years ago. 3. On the home front the secularization of the United States is almost complete. The Constitution, penned by men who were opposed to anyone serving in a position of leadership who did not publicly state his allegiance to God, is now being used to exclude God and any reference to Him from every area of public life. 4. So debased has our society become that we twice elected a man to the presidency of the United States who openly admitted to committing adultery, who stands in favor of the government funding of infanticide, abortion, prenatal murder, and who is openly courts, for political support, the homosexuals in the land. 5. I will admit that in years past I always wondered why the United States plays no role in end time prophecies, is not mentioned in the conflict that will rage in the middle east shortly before the second coming of Christ, and apparently will be neither ally nor opponent to any of the conflicting parties in that greatest of all world wars to come. 6. Now I think I know. We will be the first nation on earth that will have a large percentage of combat soldiers, sailors and submariners, who are women, and we will not fight. We will not fight on the right side. We will not even fight on the wrong side. Our military will have been both de-clawed and de-fanged. 7. With the rise of the militant fundamentalists in the Islamic world, the southern confederacy mentioned in Bible prophecy takes no wild or visionary imagination to see consolidating, armed primarily with American weaponry. 8. And with Afghanistan still fragmented by the ongoing conflict that exists after the pullout of the Soviet Army, and with both Iran and Iraq economically and militarily weak from their protracted war, and with Iraq still particularly crippled from the Gulf War and continuing economic sanctions, there is absolutely nothing to speak of that would stand in the way of the great armies of the kings of the east marching through those countries all the way into Palestine to wage war. 9. But who would they wage war against? The southern confederacy, the Arab nations joined together? Not just them, you can be sure. For if the war to come is between them only the battleground would not be Palestine, but farther east. 10. No. There is a third party to this conflict. This third party is widely thought by dispensational theologians to be the reunified European community, something akin to the revived Roman Empire. And the leader of this political-military force is referred to in John's Revelation as "the beast." 11. Let's stand as we turn, in our Bibles, to Revelation chapter 13: "And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. If any man have an ear, let him hear. He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six." 12. There are two men in this chapter who are referred to by John as beasts. The second beast is the one typically referred to as the false prophet. The first beast is understood to be "The Antichrist." 13. The Antichrist is the subject of my message this evening, dealing with the doctrines of the Antichrist, the deeds of the Antichrist, and the destiny of the Antichrist. 1A. FIRST, THE DOCTRINES OF THIS MAN WHO IS RIGHTLY PREDICTED BY JOHN TO BE A BEAST There are four verses in the New Testament which make specific use of the word "antichrist." We will look at all four to determine what the beliefs, what the doctrines, of antichrists are, what the doctrines of the Antichrist are. 1B. First John 2.18 "Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time." 1C. The word "antichrist" appears twice in this verse. The second reference is, obviously, to "antichrists." The first, however, must be a reference to "the Antichrist" since the word is singular. 2C. There is then, in addition to antichrists who shall come on the scene, a single individual, "the Antichrist." Their arrival and his arrival are specific indications that it is the last time, that we are near the end of the age that will end with the second coming of Jesus Christ. 2B. First John 2.22 "Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son." 1C. What does the Antichrist believe? What is his doctrine? The doctrine of the Antichrist will be essentially the same as the doctrine of the antichrists, otherwise he would not be so labeled and identified with them in Scripture. 2C. A study of the word "anointing," which is translated from the Greek word that "Christ" comes from, reveals that the Antichrist, as well as the antichrists, deny that Jesus is the Christ. 3C. By extension, then, the Antichrist denies both the Father and the Son, and, according to verse 23, "hath not the Father." The Antichrist who shall come, though it does not need to be specifically said I hope, will not be a saved person. 4C. How can I say that? Because he believes wrongly. His doctrinal position regarding the Lord Jesus Christ and the Father are greatly in error. And if you are wrong on key truths about Jesus Christ and the Father you aren't saved. 5C. And think about this: If Antichrist's doctrine about the Lord Jesus Christ and God the Father was correct he would realize he had no hope of successfully opposing them. Amen? 3B. First John 4.1-3 "Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world." 1C. Here's a new twist on the Antichrist's heresy. A denial that Jesus Christ came in the flesh. Now, I want you to think about what I've said for just a moment, because it's rather important. 2C. If the error of antichrists (and the Antichrist as well since he is simply the supreme example of the species), and those with the spirit of antichrist, is a denial that Jesus has come in the flesh, then their real problem with Him is not his deity, but His humanity. Amen? 3C. What does that tell you? It tells me that the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ was so obvious that it was questionable whether He was really man or not. And to emphasize that He was a man the Lord constantly referred to Himself as the Son of Man, did He not? 4C. Well, if the Antichrist denies that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh, then he denies that the death, burial and resurrection of Christ from the dead on the third day was a genuine accomplishment. Instead, the Antichrist believes it to be fraudulent. 5C. Perhaps the Antichrist will be a man who thinks that the Lord Jesus Christ's resurrection was just an elaborate supernatural stunt, as his own will be according to Revelation chapter 13, just an elaborately staged display of supernatural power. 4B. Second John 7 "For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist." 1C. Here we see further evidence of the deceptive doctrine of the antichrists, and of the Antichrist, a denial of the incarnation, a denial of Christ's real humanity. 2C. Perhaps this is the spirit behind this "ask Jesus into your heart to get saved" nonsense we hear so much of today, something the incarnate Son of God cannot do whilst tabernacling in a human body, glorified though it be. 2A. NEXT, WE LOOK AT THE DEEDS OF THIS GREATEST OF ALL CRIMINALS 1B. Daniel 7.21 "I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them." Here the Antichrist is referred to by the prophet Daniel as "the same horn," who is the ruler of the last great world empire and who wars against the saints of God, believers during the Tribulation period. 2B. Daniel 9.24-27 " Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy. Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate." 1C. In this, which is perhaps the most important portion of prophetical Scriptures in the Bible, we see God's plan for dealing with the Messiah, Who is the Lord Jesus Christ, as well as the role that the Antichrist will play in opposing the Lord Jesus Christ. 2C. The weeks, in this passage, refer to weeks of years, seven year segments of time. There are four hundred ninety years all total, or seventy weeks. Sixty-nine weeks of years, or four hundred eighty three years, passed between the decree permitting the rebuilding of Jerusalem's walls after the Babylonian captivity until the triumphal entrance of the Lord Jesus Christ into Jerusalem on the back of a donkey's colt. The final week of years will take place in the future, preceding the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ in power and great glory. 3C. But notice the second prince in this passage. Not the "Messiah" of verse 26, but the second prince mentioned in that verse, beginning with "and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary." This second prince is the Antichrist. According to verse 27, the Antichrist will "confirm the covenant with many for one week" before committing the atrocities referred to in verse 27 in the Jewish Temple that will have been rebuilt at that time. 4C. Apparently, as leader of the European community, the Antichrist will make a treaty with Israel, possibly promising to protect the Jewish population from the rising tide of Arab militancy that we hear so much about these days. But half way through that seven year period of time he will abandon his commitments and will desecrate the Temple and begin an all-out assault on all of God's people, with particular focus upon the Jews. 3B. Second Thessalonians 2.7-12 "For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness." 1C. What in the world would cause the Jewish people, who presently trust absolutely no one when it comes to their national security, to in the future trust the Antichrist? 2C. There are several possible explanations: First, the Holy Spirit will end His restraining ministry upon Satan, according to verse 7. This will enable Satan's deceit to be more effective in the lives of the unsaved. 3C. Second, that "Wicked" will be revealed. This is the Antichrist. But notice, verse 9, that his appearance on the world scene is accompanied by displays of supernatural power. Satanic power, to be sure, but supernatural nevertheless. Very persuasive in a world without spiritual discernment. 4C. Finally, a combination of the sinner's love for error and spiritual darkness instead of the truth, with strong delusion from God added in for good measure. The result? Israel will do something she has never done in modern history. She will make the mistake of trusting someone. And that someone will turn out to be a greater enemy than Egypt's Pharaoh, Babylon's Nebuchadnezzar, and Germany's Hitler, all rolled into one wicked genius. 4B. Matthew 24.15-19 "When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes. And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!" 1C. What is this all about? When the Antichrist fulfills the Daniel prophecy by desecrating the Temple, then his secret plans for the annihilation of the Jewish people will very quickly be put into action, gobbling up everyone who doesn't flee to the wilderness very quickly. 2C. The Jewish woman who goes to the living room to grab her purse before she flees will not make it. The man who is working outside who stoops over to pick up his jacket will not make it. The woman who is pregnant, and the nursing mother, will be too slow to survive the Antichrist's armies as they scour the cities and country, arresting and executing Jews everywhere. 3C. Never in human history have the Jewish people suffered like they will suffer at the hands of this man. And anyone who thinks there is a world wide conspiracy to take over the world is correct. But understand, the conspiracy is not masterminded at the human level. And the conspiracy does not involve Jews, for, you see, the Jews will be the primary targets. 5B. Revelation 13 We read this chapter earlier, but allow me to point out what the Antichrist's actions against God's people will be. 1C. Verses 3-4. "And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?" The world will wonder after the beast, the Antichrist, and they will worship both the dragon and him, the dragon being Satan, himself. 2C. Verses 5-8 "And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world." A seven year period of time will begin sometime after the Rapture of Church Age believers. From the midpoint of that seven year period, which will be for three and one half years, the Antichrist will utter horrible blasphemies against God, will wage war against the saints of God, and will accept the worship of unsaved people. 3C. Those who will not worship him, which is to say genuine believers, will be killed, verse 15. Those not executed outright will probably starve to death, since no one will be able to buy food without the mark of the beast on his hand or forehead, verses 16-17, a mark which no genuinely saved person will take. 4C. So, we can understand why he is labeled the Antichrist. He will be a supernaturally empowered human being, a genius of remarkable proportions, who is so wrong about the power and might, the majesty and the greatness, of the Lord Jesus Christ that he actually believes that with Satan's power he can successfully oppose the plant and purpose of God, and he actually believes that the Lord Jesus can be defeated. 5C. Sound incredible? It's what you believe if you've not fled to Jesus Christ for safety and salvation from your sins. And what about Antichrist's attacks against the Jews and against God's saints? Simple. He realizes that the Jewish people are the key to the fulfillment of God's plan. Wipe out the Jews and God will be defeated, for His promises are to the Jews. That's why such atrocities will be directed at those people. 3A. FINALLY, WE SEE HIS DESTINY Such tragedy is difficult for people to comprehend. We are sometimes caught up in wondering why God would allow such things as these to occur, or wondering how He could allow such a wicked man as this to come on the world scene and not do something to stop it. But if we turn to the Word of God for our answers we find that they are all there . . . if we but have the eyes to see. 1B. Hosea 5.15 "I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early." 1C. Here we have a prediction in type, a picture if you will, of what God will accomplish during that seven year period of Great Tribulation, that seventieth week of Daniel, especially during those final days of betrayal, horrible persecution, and, yes, even genocide. 2C. What people often overlook in their studies of prophetic themes is the immediate reason why the Lord Jesus Christ will return to earth in power and great glory. It will be because His people are crying out to Him for deliverance. And He will come in answer to their pleas, their cries of repentance. 2B. Romans 11.25-27 "For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins." 1C. Do you wonder why God will allow the Antichrist such a wicked career? It's because the Jewish people have rejected their Messiah, the Lord Jesus Christ. 2C. So, God allows a false Messiah to come on the scene. The Jewish people, in their unbelief, turn to him for help against their natural enemies. But half way through the seven years their trusted "ally" turns against them. 3C. Imagine yourself to be Jewish. For two millennia your people have been scattered to the four winds, relying upon their wits to survive in the midst of Gentiles who hate their prosperity and their differences. 4C. But since the alliance, since the covenant with the Antichrist, since the great peace treaty has been signed, all the Jews the world over have returned to the Promised Land. Now, for the first time since before the Assyrian captivity of almost 3000 years before, all the world's Jews are gathered in one place. Then comes the betrayal. 5C. What do you do? He's killing Jews by the multiplied thousands. He's using dogs. He's using Starlight scopes to track people down at night. He's using electronic devices of every kind. 6C. You have no place to run because everyone has the mark of the beast, and the Antichrist won't give the mark to the Jews, because he's planning on killing them. You can't run to the south, because the southern confederacy of Arab nations is there. You can't run to the east, either. 200,000,000 soldiers are marching through Iran and Iraq, coming from the far east. The north isn't an option, because that's where the Antichrist's own army is coming from. And to the west is the Mediterranean Sea. 7C. For the first time in history the Jewish people are completely out of options. Money won't buy anyone's way out of trouble. They have no allies close enough to come to their aid. It seems that all men are turned against them. They can't look this way or that. They can only look up. Suddenly, in the hearts of millions of Jews in hiding, the words of the preachers Christian witnesses come to their minds. Then they realize that all this has come upon them to force them to repentance. 8C. So, what do they do? Collectively, and individually, they cry out to the Savior they have rejected for so long for deliverance, Yeshua Hameshia. They cry out to the Lord Jesus Christ, the Messiah of Israel, for their deliverance from this beast who seeks to kill them. 3B. And What Happens When The Jewish People Cry Out? Revelation 19.11-20 "And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God; That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great. And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone." CONCLUSION: 1. So, we have seen the Antichrist in the Bible; his doctrines, his deeds, his ultimate destiny. 2. But understand that the destiny of the Antichrist is also the destiny of all of the antichrists who have the same doctrines, but who may not have the same Satanic power that this unique individual will have. 3. Because you see, one's destiny is determined by belief, not behavior, by doctrine, not by deeds. If you believe wrongly about the Lord Jesus Christ you will not come to Him for salvation. 4. Revelation 21.8 states "But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death." 5. And what is the Biblical definition of a liar? Remember, it's someone who believes what an antichrist believes about Jesus Christ. Which is to say, they are not believers. Anyone who is not converted is an antichrist, in the Biblical sense of the word. 6. So, while you are certainly not the Antichrist spoken of the in the Bible, who shall be cast alive into the lake of fire, are you an antichrist? 7. Are you one who does not believe what the Bible says about Jesus Christ? Do you question His claims about Himself? Do you question the Biblical claims about Him? Do you doubt the words of God, Who said, "This is my beloved Son, hear ye Him"? 8. Perhaps you claim that you believe these things, yet not strongly enough to actually become a Christian. Then, my friend, I would suggest a very careful reappraisal of the facts, as they relate to Who Jesus Christ is and as they relate to where you are headed. 9. It would be a terrible thing to spend an hour one Sunday evening learning about the terrible Antichrist and the lake of fire which is his eternal destiny, only to end up there yourself, because you never actually came to Jesus Christ for salvation from your sins. Amen? |

Feyenoord are in talks with Arsenal over Reiss Nelson remaining with the club for next season, hoping to utilise their connection to Albert Stuivenberg.
Dutch outlet De Telegraaf report that Feyenoord are in talks over an extended stay for Reiss Nelson, following the Arsenal's winger's loan to the Eredivisie this season.
Feyenoord have connections at Arsenal through Albert Stuivenberg, the assistant manager for the Gunners. Stuivenberg played for the Feyenoord youth teams in his playing days, before going on to work with the club as a coach.
The issue with Nelson remains his contract length. His current deal expires in 2023, so it's not really an option to loan him out again unless he extends first.
But it wouldn't be the first time Nelson extended his deal before going on loan, so perhaps it's an option he'll consider again.
Arsenal have reportedly indicated that they believe Nelson has developed promisingly this season, so the suggestion is that they're initially planning to take him back and assess him this summer.
Fabrizio Romano claims Nelson will soon hold talks with Mikel Arteta over his Arsenal future.
Nelson's loan to Feyenoord this season wasn't entirely positive, but it certainly trended in the right direction.
The 22-year-old had only made four starts in all competitions for Feyenoord by March 1st, scoring one goal and providing one assist across all his appearances to that point.
After that, he broke into the lineup. He made 14 starts, scored three goals, and assisted six, including an assist to help Feyenoord win their Europa Conference League semi-final 3-2 on aggregate.
Another year like that would be great for Nelson and Feyenoord, and it would boost his transfer value for Arsenal should they choose to sell. But that only works if he extends his deal first.

The Yankees wasted little time in their hunt for starting pitching. According to multiple reports, the Bombers have agreed to sign CC Sabathia to a one-year contract worth $8 million dollars. Joel Sherman first reported that the team was finalizing a deal.
Sabathia, 38, pitched well for the Yankees in 2018. He logged 153 innings, working to a 3.65 ERA with a 4.16 FIP. He also displayed a mastery of inducing soft contact. His 25.1% soft contact rate sits near the top of the league. He missed some time on the disabled list with his balky knee, but he was an effective pitcher overall.
Since arriving in New York ahead of the 2009 season, CC has posted a 3.74 ERA (3.82 FIP). He pitched at the game's highest levels through 2012 season, before struggling for the better part of the next three years. The left-hander's renaissance began in earnest in 2016, and since then he reestablished himself as a quality back-of-the-rotation arm. He is also clubhouse leader and a fan favorite.
The veteran left-hander made it clear that he wanted to stay in New York. He said so himself on the R2C2 podcast. He also indicated that this will be his final season as an active player. Sabathia wants to retire with the Yankees.
Brian Cashman repeatedly expressed that he wants to acquire multiple starting pitchers this offseason. Sabathia isn't the only move up his sleeves. This is most likely a depth signing, and it's hard to do better than CC for that role.
Pinstripe Alley will have more on the signing and what it means in the coming days. For now, though, how do you feel about the signing? Are you happy to see CC back? Let us know in the comment section below!

Louise Arbour, President & CEO, International Crisis Group to the Dutch Auschwitz Committee, Royal Tropical Institute, Amsterdam, 27 January 2010. Share Facebook Twitter Email Linkedin Whatsapp Save Print Before anything else, allow me to thank the Netherlands Auschwitz Committee, the Netherlands Pensions and Benefits Board, the Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies, and the Royal Netherlands Academy of Sciences for having invited me to give this year's "Auschwitz Never Again" Lecture. It is humbling to share the same honour with extraordinary past recipients such as Raul Hilberg, Albie Sachs, Simone Veil, Jorge Semprun, Irene Khan and Thomas Bürgenthal. It is also a great honour to be able to speak with you on this international day of remembrance for the victims of the Holocaust and of other genocides, corresponding to the anniversary of the date of the liberation of Nazi death camp Auschwitz-Birkenau. I would like to begin my remarks this evening by briefly explaining why this award has such great personal significance for me. Unlike some of the past honorees, I do not have a personal experience or family background that directly tied my life to Auschwitz or the Shoah. Yet in many ways, much of my professional life has occurred in its shadow. Whether as a lawyer and a judge in Canada deeply committed to the Rule of Law, whether during my tenure as Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and for Rwanda, or as the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, I have always understood "Never Again" not as the acknowledgment of a new reality but as a call to action, a challenge to the indifference with which we so often respond to atrocious suffering from which we believe we will always be immune. That indifference attained unconscionable heights in preventing the Shoah and in failing to stop it once the extermination became known. From where I stand, it is painfully apparent that this was also facilitated by a legal system that became complicit in its own erosion, with legal order supporting oppression, losing any form of moral compass. Maybe because I had no family history tying me to the horrors of the Second World War, I have always thought that I was approaching issues in a clinical, rational, dispassionate way. I believed that my own response to the Never Again call for action was grounded in a professional training and a moral choice, not in a more intangible, emotional reaction based on one's complex humanity. I was confronted with a different reality whe n I first went to Rwanda on the eve of becoming the Chief Prosecutor for the Tribunal. This was in the fall of 1996. I went to visit a massacre site, where the bodies had been left lying and decomposing in the school in which men, women and children had been slaughtered. After my visit to the site, I was driven back to Kigali where I had an appointment with the President. I first went back to my hotel and had a long shower to wash away the odour of death that I felt had not left me. At the president's residence, I was asked to sit in a waiting room and a young woman brought me a guest book to sign. I wrote something in the book, trying to capture the extraordinary turn that my professional life had taken. I took a few minutes to write something and gave her back the book. She soon came back to me and said could I please sign and date my comments. I did, and she left again. She returned shortly, looking very puzzled, and said I had written the wrong date. We were in late September 1996. Under my name, I had written April 6 1994. The night the genocide began. I was shocked. I understood for the first time the extraordinary grip that the past can have on you, once you realize that you are part of it. I want to return to my professional realm and discuss with you the remarkable strides we have made though the law to build the foundation for a world in which the promise of "Never Again" has greater resonance. In particular, I want to share with you my own sense about the importance of justice in helping honor that promise. The idea of justice, and in particular of personal criminal responsibility for crimes almost too great to be attributed to a single individual, was captured powerfully in the creation of the Nuremberg Tribunal, and carried through in modern times by, among other things, the establishment of a permanent International Criminal Court. It is one of the most powerful legacies to have emerged from the human ruins of the Shoah. It may seem obscene to claim a positive legacy from the Shoah, and worse to draw rudimentary moral lessons from moral failures of this magnitude. And it may seem absurd to claim that a worthy legal system could emerge form the ultimate failure of the Rule of Law and its pathetic surrender to brutality. But I suggest to you that the universal moral impulse that led to the a modern concept of justice is very much anchored in what Auschwitz has come to represent: a call for justice, not just in the narrow sense of punishment, retribution and deterrence but rather in the broadest possible sense, encompassing sustained and universal progress in the domain of human rights, particularly in the commitment to ideals of equality, non-discrimination, and the protective umbrella of civil, political economic, social and cultural rights. Let's consider for a moment the huge distance we have travelled as an international community in the last 65 years by looking at what has happened on the international scene – in terms of law, policy, and institutions. In early 1945, there was no United Nations, no European Union, no Council of Europe, no human rights law, no international criminal law, no refugee law, and only the rudimentary framework of the law of armed conflict. There were no human rights courts, no international criminal tribunals. Both in domestic legal systems and in international law states ruled supreme. International laws and institutions were few and weak, and the individual human right to dignity was a notion rooted in religious or moral teachings, but nothing more than an aspiration, poorly reflected in the law, and of course unenforcable as a right. That legal world, as it still existed at the start of 1945, is in part the one that enabled the Shoah to occur. In this respect we might ask: what choice did the international community have at that time but to reassess its fundamental beliefs concerning what was right and good about the international legal and institutional order? With this broad question in mind, what I propose to do this evening, very briefly, is to explore two particularly significant legacies that emerged from the Shoah: The emergence of human rights as an idea and as a body of law, with its accompanying set of institutions; and The idea of individual justice after genocide, as embodied in international criminal law and institutions. International Human Rights Law: The Rise of State Responsibility For centuries, and right up to the end of the Second World War, public international law accorded individuals few meaningful rights. States were the only lawmakers and the only subjects of international law, and they could generally treat their own citizens as they wished. International law was truly the law of sovereign states; individuals and groups of individuals had no standing in the international order. It was precisely the events of the Shoah that crystallized political will behind a new international norm of human rights. If there had been any doubt that some of the worst atrocities are committed by governments against their own people, that doubt was irredeemably shattered by the Holocaust. The events of Second World War made a link between international law and individual rights unavoidable. The first major source of international human rights law was, of course, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted without dissent in 1948 by the UN General Assembly. The UDHR is premised on the principle of the equality of all human beings in rights and dignity. It goes on to articulate the right to life, liberty and security of the person, and to further enumerate a series of rights that in a sense unpack Franklin Roosevelt's inspired prescription of freedom from fear and freedom from want. Yet the Universal Declaration was not a binding treaty. For that reason, most human rights supporters saw it as a major compromise. They had wanted a legally binding Bill of Rights. As things turned out, for the next 28 years the Universal Declaration was the only comprehensive human rights instrument at the international level, and a major influence on the content of domestic constitutions and regional human rights treaties. Then, beginning in 1966, and continuing up to today, a significant range of international human rights treaties came into force, including treaties on civil and political rights; on economic, social and cultural rights; on children's rights; on the elimination of discrimination on the basis of race or gender and, more recently, on the basis of physical or metal disability; and, of course, on the prohibition of torture, and cruel, inhumane or degrading treatment or punishment. More than eighty percent of today's states have ratified most of these treaties. Thus Professor Louis Henkin has observed, "By the end of the twentieth century, human rights, a political-philosophical idea, had become an ideology, the ideology of our times, achieving near-universal acceptance…" Also emerging from the ashes of the Shoah were the field of international refugee law – a related but independent field from international human rights law – and the expansion of international humanitarian law in the form of the 1949 Geneva Conventions and their related protocols. Let me now turn to the institutional framework within which international human rights must be protected. The UDHR was of course developed by the United Nations Commission of Human Rights, under the intellectual and political leadership, in particular, of Eleanor Roosevelt (... I saw a few years ago in Geneva at the International Human Rights Film Festival the original film footage of the adoption of the UDHR by the GA including the speech by the only woman visible in the room. The President addressed the Assembly as "Gentlemen"…somewhat surprisingly, they were not all smoking…) The CHR became much maligned over the years, and early in my tenure as High Commissioner I was party to the process that led to its demise and replacement by the Human Rights Council. In my view the profound malaise that led to the abolition of the Commission on Human Rights had many roots. In part it reflected a dissatisfaction and indeed a bitterness in the human rights discourse in the United Nations that has not and could not have been resolved by a mere institutional adjustment. But fundamentally I think that the Commission had outlived its usefulness as a mostly normative body, and had been unable to successfully reincarnate itself as a monitoring body for the enforcement of rights and of norms and standards. And, frankly, the normative era had largely overrun its course. Between 1948 and 2005 the world had equipped itself with a broad range of excellent normative documents: conventions, treaties, declarations, comments, but continued to be very deficient at ensuring that norms be implemented, standards adhered to and rights enforced. The efforts made by the Commission on Human Rights to transform itself into an implementation forum were not only unsuccessful but destroyed what remained of the effectiveness of the Commission even as a normative body. When it started to move from the creation of thematic special rapporteurs to country specific mandates, the Commission quickly became accused of politicization, selectivity and double standards. Country specific discussions in the Commission were of course never welcome by the country under scrutiny, and that antagonism led to the formation of political alliances resisting the specific finger pointing. Eventually, the Commission became a lame duck institution, having lost on the one hand the support of many developing countries who felt selectively exposed for their human rights shortcomings and, most significantly of the United States and several western countries who believed that the Commission had become a forum of choice for unfair Israel bashing. So the momentum for the abolition of the Commission was not difficult to create. The positive creation of its successor institution, the Human Rights Council proved considerably more challenging, and to this day the UN Human Rights Council continues to be an institution in search of its legitimacy. Meanwhile, some 15 years ago, the General Assembly created the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, often mistakenly associated exclusively with the functions of the Human Rights Council, but in fact mandated independently to promote and protect all human rights. This, in my view, requires that the Office of the High Commissioner strive to operate on the ground, in an attempt to prevent and denounce human rights violations when no other authority is able or willing to do so. Of course, the UN system is not alone in protecting international human rights. There are also regional equivalents to the UN bodies, which are responsible for supervising the implementation of regional human rights law in Europe, the Americas, and Africa. These systems provide crucial protection complementary to the UN system. And yet, even an effective combination of UN and regional law and institutions cannot diminish the primary role that states must play in the promotion and protection of human rights. The state, and not the UN or any regional body, remains the most important guarantor of human rights. This was true in 1945 and remains so today. The international system is there as a backstop: as a device of last resort if the state's protection of human rights fails. As a rule, the international system should offer protection only when effective domestic action is impossible, whether due to incapacity or unwillingness. * * * * The international law of human rights has one other limitation. It only provides for state, rather than individual, responsibility. So we must ask: what law is there to apply to the individuals who actually commit the violations? What emerged after the Shoah to take account of this more personal scale of accountability? Here we come to the domain of international criminal law, the second major topic I want to briefly address with you tonight. International Criminal Law: The Rise of Individual Responsibility In the shadow of the Holocaust, many profound philosophical questions arise about recourse to criminal sanctions in the face of crimes of that magnitude. Is there any proper response that law or institutions can offer to acts as massive and grotesque as those so vividly embodied in the images of Auschwitz? Remember Hannah Arendt's compelling observation that "Men are unable to forgive what they cannot punish and . . . they are unable to punish what turns out to be unforgivable." And can we truly purport to appropriate the plight of the victims by standing, in their name, to call perpetrators to account, to measure the levels of their culpability, to exonerate, to mitigate or to denounce their guilt and extend what the law says is the appropriate punishment? Troubling as these questions might be, there is no choice but to reconcile the past with the future. I believe that we cannot do so by simply grieving. This is what the "Auschwitz Never Again" call to action really means. Criminal punishment is not only based on the expectation of deterrence. Frankly it is not always clear that the fear of punishment would prevent actions grounded in such a twisted sense of personal superiority and contempt for the rest of humanity. But our commitment to prevent genocide and crimes against humanity requires, at a minimum, that we denounce the unspeakable, and that we collectively re-construct the moral world in which we intend to live. Through the imposition of a criminal sanction therefore, we do not purport to make the victims whole again, to make their suffering disappear, to make it all better. Not just by denunciation and deterrence, but by the loud re-affirmation of our moral choice we undertake to extend the protection of the law to all, including to those whose conduct will be judged under the very rules that they have so grossly repudiated. The ideas that gave rise to international criminal law, to the reach on the international community into individual conduct, like the ideas that inspired human rights law, may be traced in their modern form to the events of the Second World War. More specifically they may be traced to the post-War trials of Nuremberg, and to a lesser extent Tokyo. As I'm sure all here know, the Allied Powers were determined not to repeat the mistake they had made after the First World War, when they opted against an international tribunal to try leaders of the Central Powers for war crimes. So in August 1945 the American, British, Soviet and French governments agreed to establish an International Military Tribunal in Nuremberg, Germany, with the purpose of prosecuting the Nazi leadership. The Charter for the Tribunal empowered it to try cases involving three types of crime: crimes against peace (also known as the crime of "aggression"), war crimes, and crimes against humanity. Genocide was not an enumerated crime under the Charter: the adoption of the Genocide Convention, which we also honour today, took place three years later. In his opening statement at Nuremberg Robert Jackson conceded the limitations of the law, particularly as a deterrent to war. As he then said to the Tribunal: I am too well aware of the weaknesses of juridical action alone to contend that in itself your decision under this Charter can prevent future wars. Judicial action always comes after the event. Wars are started only on the theory and in the confidence that they can be won. Personal punishment, to be suffered only in the event the war is lost, will probably not be a sufficient deterrent to prevent a war where the war-makers feel the chances of defeat to be negligible. In my view, his words were even more powerful when he addressed not war itself, but the conduct of warfare and the perpetration of war crimes. The most often quoted part of his address articulates the most cogent foundation for international criminal law. He said: The wrongs which we seek to condemn and punish have been so calculated, so malignant, and so devastating, that civilization cannot tolerate their being ignored, because it cannot survive their being repeated. That four great nations, flush with victory and stung with injury stay the hand of vengeance and voluntarily submit their captive enemies to the judgment of the law is one of the most significant tributes that Power has ever paid to Reason. Yet the ensuing Cold War meant that it would be another 48 years before the world saw any modern equivalent of the Nuremberg Tribunal. That body was the ICTY, established by the UN Security Council in 1993 in response to the deaths of tens of thousands of civilians in the former Yugoslavia. This was probably the most imaginative step ever taken by the Security Council, a bold step calling for personal accountability of political and military leaders for crimes that were unfolding before the eyes of the world on a daily basis. Shockingly, less than one year later, Hutu extremists in Rwanda murdered approximately 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus in a genocide that lasted little more than three months. The international community failed to halt the genocide, despite many prior warnings and opportunities to intervene. Though a wholly inadequate response, in November 1994 the Security Council finally declared that – like the former Yugoslavia – the situation in Rwanda constituted a threat to international peace and security under Chapter VII of the UN Charter and established another Tribunal, the ICTR, to try those responsible. I have alluded at the outset of my remarks to my personal involvement with these revolutionary institutions. Like many, at first I feared the Tribunals would be nothing more than paper tigers. In the case of the former Yugoslavia, we knew the locations of many of the suspects, but they were on the territories of states that would not cooperate to arrest them on the Tribunals' behalf. Consequently, we started to keep our indictments secret, so that it would be easier, particularly for the NATO forces in Bosnia, to apprehend suspects who did not realize that they could be arrested. In the case of Rwanda, the situation was entirely the opposite: those most responsible for the genocide had fled the country and had to be located before any action could be taken against them. In both cases we started focusing our investigations directly on the top leaders, the chief suspects who bore most responsibility for the worst atrocities – just as the Nuremberg Tribunal had done in its time. As many of you will know, on May 27, 1999, I indicted Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic, on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity. He was in office at the time, and NATO was at war with Serbia. This was an early example of what would become the debate between the imperatives of peace and those of justice, and the only one so far where justice was in the lead, although peace followed shortly thereafter. In that sense, it is the only empirical evidence that contradicts the assumption that justice can be an impediment to peace. As you know, Milosevic was eventually turned over to the Tribunal by Serbian authorities and stood trial in The Hague. Milosevic died in custody before the trial could be completed, but his case marked an end to the longstanding impunity enjoyed by political and military leaders. Fifteen years ago, the likes of Slobodan Milosevic had every reason to believe that they would be forever unanswerable for their crimes, whatever the magnitude of the harm they caused, and regardless of the extend of their direct or command responsibility for these atrocities. It took a very long time for the legacy of Nuremberg to start taking hold. The momentum, however, is irreversible. * * * * The tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda demonstrated that fair trials at the international level are possible. This not only helped inspire so-called hybrid (or mixed national-international) tribunals in places such as Kosovo, Bosnia, Sierra Leone, and Cambodia. It also – and more significantly – helped inspire states to establish the permanent International Criminal Court, the world's first and only such court. There are currently 110 state parties to the Rome Statute, the treaty that established the ICC and gave it authority to try genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes – as well as the future possibility of trying crimes of aggression if states parties so agree. The ICC cannot be, and was not designed to be, a substitute for national prosecutions. States bear the primary responsibility to prevent and punish human rights violations and war crimes. But the direct reach of international law to individuals as personal holders of rights and responsibilities vis-à-vis not only their national state but vis-à-vis the whole world is an incredible consequence of the world having done so little to protect to those died, and those who survived Auschwitz. Ladies and Gentlemen, I now serve as President of the International Crisis Group, an organization committed to the prevention and resolution of deadly armed conflicts, with its attention focused on nearly 60 countries worldwide. As a recent in-house editorial of The Guardian newspaper put it: ICG grew out of the perception that the world could have done more to tackle Somalia, Rwanda and Bosnia in the 1990s if it had only seen them coming. It blew the whistle on Darfur, East Timor and northern Uganda before those conflicts erupted. It reliably provides cool analysis of major conflagrations within days of them breaking out - such as with the 22-day war in Gaza. Even more impressive, though, is its coverage of forgotten lands - including, in the few months since Gaza, Haiti, Nepal and Tajikistan. When the world's gaze moves on, the ICG stays, to monitor the unfinished business conflict leaves behind. My involvement with ICG is part of a continuum. I feel very privileged to have worked in institutions devoted to justice and invested in the call for action that Never Again truly represents. I have now joined the ranks of civil society actors as I believe in the extraordinary mobilization of non-governmental initiatives to advance the public good. I also believe in being there, in protection by presence, and in speaking up. We live in a world of unconscionable inequities, within states, and between states. A world of unaddressed grievances and injustices, of democratic deficits with unpopular minorities always at risk, and with competition for elusive resources fierce and relentless. Inevitably, we live with conflict, ignorance, and hatred. But we also live with the tools and the knowhow to intervene, and we are a generation that understands what happens if we don't. "Never again" means "Not if I can help it", and there is always a way to help. We have already built a great legal infrastructure and a reasonably adequate set of institutions. We have mobilized groups and individuals from all walks of life: people come with their talents, their money, their good will, to work together in the memory of those who were once abandoned in the most shameful way. I feel extremely honoured to be associated with those who take heart in this enterprise, and I thank you most sincerely for the privilege of addressing you tonight.
