A. Popular myth puts his birth on December 25th in the year 1 C.E.
B. The New Testament gives no date or year for Jesus' birth. The earliest gospel – St. Mark's, written about 65 CE – begins with the baptism of an adult Jesus. This suggests that the earliest Christians lacked interest in or knowledge of Jesus' birthdate.
C. The year of Jesus birth was determined by Dionysius Exiguus, a Scythian monk, "abbot of a Roman monastery. His calculation went as follows:
a. In the Roman, pre-Christian era, years were counted from ab urbe condita ("the founding of the City" [Rome]). Thus 1 AUC signifies the year Rome was founded, 5 AUC signifies the 5th year of Rome's reign, etc.
b. Dionysius received a tradition that the Roman emperor Augustus reigned 43 years, and was followed by the emperor Tiberius.
c. Luke 3:1,23 indicates that when Jesus turned 30 years old, it was the 15th year of Tiberius reign.
d. If Jesus was 30 years old in Tiberius' reign, then he lived 15 years under Augustus (placing Jesus birth in Augustus' 28th year of reign).
e. Augustus took power in 727 AUC. Therefore, Dionysius put Jesus birth in 754 AUC.
f. However, Luke 1:5 places Jesus' birth in the days of Herod, and Herod died in 750 AUC – four years before the year in which Dionysius places Jesus birth.
D. Joseph A. Fitzmyer – Professor Emeritus of Biblical Studies at the Catholic University of America, member of the Pontifical Biblical Commission, and former president of the Catholic Biblical Association – writing in the Catholic Church's official commentary on the New Testament, writes about the date of Jesus' birth, "Though the year [of Jesus birth is not reckoned with certainty, the birth did not occur in AD 1. The Christian era, supposed to have its starting point in the year of Jesus birth, is based on a miscalculation introduced ca. 533 by Dionysius Exiguus."
E. The DePascha Computus, an anonymous document believed to have been written in North Africa around 243 CE, placed Jesus birth on March 28. Clement, a bishop of Alexandria (d. ca. 215 CE), thought Jesus was born on November 18. Based on historical records, Fitzmyer guesses that Jesus birth occurred on September 11, 3 BCE.

Times Insider delivers behind-the-scenes insights from The New York Times. In this piece, Julie Turkewitz, a reporter at The Times, describes what it is like to have covered a series of mass shootings.
ORLANDO, Fla. — I've covered four mass shootings in the last eight months. Seventy-five people lost their lives in those massacres, and another 92 were injured. As I write, five remain in the hospital here, victims of a gunman who opened fire at the Pulse nightclub on June 12. One is in critical condition.
Orlando. San Bernardino. Colorado Springs. Roseburg. "What's it like?" friends and family ask. "Are you O.K.?"
I have largely been shielded from the horror of the initial violence. I have faced no killers, seen no weapons. Instead, we reporters spend our time talking to the living: Tracy Heu, a mother of three who watched 10 people die in her English class in Roseburg, Ore., in October; Regina Kuruppu, who fled a building littered with bodies and Christmas decorations in San Bernardino, Calif., in December as a fire alarm screamed behind her; Minnie Perez, who told me she lost 14 friends in the Pulse rampage; and David Melendez, whose brother spent days clinging to his life at Orlando Regional Medical Center.
For reporters, the days after a shooting pass in a blur of interviews and deadlines. We file stories from the back seats of parked cars, sleep very little and wrestle with how to approach mothers and daughters who have just experienced the worst day of their lives.
At The New York Times, it is an act of team journalism, involving dozens of researchers, reporters, editors and photographers who serve as detectives and obituary writers, trying to unravel a perpetrator's motives and find victims who want to tell their stories. I am not the only one on this tragic reporting circuit, and I join my colleagues who have covered Charleston, Newtown, Aurora, Virginia Tech and so many other American massacres.
On the ground, I try to remember that when I knock at a door, I am most likely a person's first experience with the news media. The way I approach an interview will determine whether I am part of the trauma or part of the healing.
I also have to be skeptical; on rare occasions, people lie, claiming to know the killer or to have seen the shooting.
Mostly, though, I wonder how I will convey the magnitude of each tragedy to a nation that has heard this story before.
Alone in my rental car, I think about concentric circles of trauma — the way one bullet, fired from one gun, damages one person and then radiates outward, driving generation-spanning wounds into the psyches of spouses, siblings, friends, neighborhoods and communities.
Remember: So many of these victims had children. So, too, did three of the shooters. Who will care for them? Who will explain to them what happened? And how will it affect the people they become?
My colleague Laura Holson has said that the shooting at Umpqua Community College was Roseburg's Sept. 11, comparing it to the event that rocked New York's core and defined the city's path for years to come.
I would further that sentiment. The shooting at Inland Regional Center was San Bernardino's Sept. 11. The shooting at Pulse was certainly Orlando's Sept. 11.
How do we convey that to readers? How do we talk about what happens once reporters leave? I think about the soul-strangling depression that comes with losing your child, your ability to walk, your sense of safety.
I think about Officer James Hyland, who entered Pulse on June 12 and found blood-slicked floors, flashing club lights and a tangle of arms reaching for his help. How will he sleep? I think about the witnesses who for years will wonder: What if? What if I'd lunged at the gunman? What if I'd run the other way?
No one wants to spend their year covering a series of massacres. And yet, here we are: the shootings, the reporters' questions, the memorials full of fading carnations, all forming a new American ritual, one that is increasingly knitted into our cultural narrative.
A memorial grows outside of Pulse, a temporary garden of balloons and love notes. Last week it overflowed with families, and I stopped a woman named Simone Behar, 34, to ask why she'd brought her girls — Lily, 4, and Ava, 2, both in ruffled dresses — to the scene of such deep pain.
Lily hugged my legs. Ms. Behar said she was simply preparing her daughters for reality. "Their safety," she said, "is far more important than their innocence."

British artists' suppliers, 1650-1950 - K
An online resource, launched in 2006, selectively updated twice yearly. Last updated August 2019. Contributions are welcome, to Jacob Simon at [email protected].
Resources and bibliography Introduction
Updated March 2014
Robert Keating (died 1758),The White Hart, Long Acre, London 1717-1758. Artists' colourman.
Robert Keating can be found in Long Acre in rate books, 1717-58. He took out insurance as a colourman on 15 July 1717 on his goods and merchandise in his dwelling house next to the White Hart in Long Acre, and again on 16 June 1743 to a total of £1000 on his household goods in his dwelling house and his utensils and stock at the White Hart in Long Acre. He was nominated by the printseller Michael Hennekin to be one of the two executors of his will, along with the cabinet maker John Bersellar, in December 1722. He married Dorothy Orde on 1 January 1734 and died in 1758. In his will, made 10 February 1746, with codicil 26 February 1746, and proved 14 September 1758, he made modest bequests, referring to his 'very extravagant' two eldest sons, Robert and James, and left half the residue of his estate to his wife Dorothy and the other half to be divided between his youngest son John and his daughter Katherine. Keating was succeeded in business by Nathan Drake (qv).
Artists' materials: In 1730 Keating advertised his paints for the export market (London Evening Post 15 October 1730, see Iain Pears, The Discovery of Painting: the growth of interest in the arts in England, 1680-1768, 1988, p.251 n.36). The advertisement provides one of the first detailed descriptions of commercially available artists' colours and is worth quoting at length:
'To Limners, Fan-Painters, &c. Whereas it is well known that there has always been a great Deficiency in the World in Relation to several Colours, and more especially the Green, there are now, (after several Years Labour) discover'd the following curious ones, viz
1. A fine Green, not inferior to Ultramarine in its kind, for Body, Beauty and Duration, fit for Painting and Glazing, and therefore nam'd Green Ultramarine; This Green will likewise serve for Water, and for printing Metzo Tinto, or Cairo Oscuro Prints, is a good Dryer, and not dearer in Price than the best lake.
2. A good Purple without Mixture, for Water.
3. A light Sky (for Water), call'd Cyanus.
4. A Colour call'd English Yellow, useful both in Oyl and Water, surpassing the best Brown Pink.
All to be had at Mr. Keating's Colour-Shop at the White Hart in Long-Acre. Where speedily will also be had,
5. Another curious Green for Water only.
6. A Colour to be used instead of Gall-Stone.
7. A fine Purple for Oil and Water both, as rich of its kind as Prussian Blue, lasting, and a good Dryer.
8. A Rich Orange Colour, call'd Aurora, for Water.
9. Another warm Colour for Water, of a Yellowish Hue, call'd Russer.
And as there is a greater Want of these Colours Abroad than at Home, Merchants and others may be supplied with any Quantities for Exportation.'
Keating is mentioned in R. Campbell's The London Tradesman in 1747, 'This Gentleman deals in all Colours for the House Painter, but his chief Business consists in furnishing the Liberal Painters with their fine Colours. A painter may go into his Shop and be furnished with every Article he uses, such as Pencils, Brushes, Cloths ready for drawing on, and all manner of Colours ready prepared, with which he cannot be supplyed either in such Quality or Quantity in any or all the shops in London. He is himself an excellent Judge of Colours, and has no mean Taste in Painting'.
'Mr Keating' was dealing with Catherine Read in the supply of two canvases on straining frames for oil paintings in March 1755 (National Portrait Gallery, Robert Tull ledger, see Simon 1996 p.143). He also supplied colours, canvases and straining frames to Alexander Clerk, April 1755 (transcription on file at Scottish National Portrait Gallery; another account is receipted by John Keating).

Edward Kebby, 48 Taylor's Buildings, Islington Road, London 1799, 61 Newgate St 1801-1803.Watercolour preparer.
Edward Kebby advertised that he had been apprenticed to Thomas Reeves, and had been his principal assistant (Morning Post and Gazeteer 25 July 1799; see also Whitley 1928, vol.2, p.362). In the same advertisement, he featured his superfine watercolours, made at his manufactory at 48 Taylor's Buildings, claiming that the principal part of his life had been devoted to manufacturing watercolours. He was listed in Kent's directory from 1801 until 1803 as a superfine watercolour preparer. In 1803, his partnership with William Hudson junr as watercolour makers and fancy drawers of Newgate St was dissolved, with William Hudson carrying on the business (London Gazette 15 February 1803). Edward Kebby was perhaps related to James George Kebby, umbrella manufacturer, who traded from premises in the Strand from 1789 until his death at the age of 56 in 1818 (The Times 11 February 1818).
In 1800, Edward Kebby's superfine watercolours were advertised as the choicest in England, in boxes at 10s.6d, £1.1s and £5.5s, by Skill, purveyor general and oilman, 15-16 Strand (trade catalogue, Banks coll. 89.36*, with added date 1800, information from Jenny Bescoby, 1 August 2007).

George James Keet, 88 Renshaw St, Liverpool 1846-1859, 90 Renshaw St 1850-1864, 92 Renshaw St 1856-1864, 85 Renshaw St 1858. Also at Bold St Arcade 1848, Roscoe Arcade 1848-1853, 1860. Stationer, engraver and artists' colourman.
George James Keet (1820-68) was christened at St Nicholas Liverpool in 1825. He is probably the George (or G.J.) Keet who exhibited at the Liverpool Academy, in 1845 from London and in 1846, 1847 and 1859 from 88 Renshaw St, Liverpool, several of these works having an Egyptian theme. In 1848 he advertised as a stationer, stocking Rowney's drawing pencils, canvas, brushes, drawing paper and every requisite for painting, and giving his address as 88 Renshaw St and Bold St Arcade (Liverpool Mercury 7 July 1848). He later claimed that his business had been established in 1846 (Liverpool Mercury 19 August 1859). He had an account with Roberson, 1849-64 (Woodcock 1997), for example purchasing brushes and papers in February 1849 (Hamilton Kerr Institute, MS 325-1993; see also MS 142-1993, p.121). He advertised in partnership as Goodwin & Keet, photographic rooms, 1858-1860 (e.g., Liverpool Mercury 13 February 1860). In the 1861 census, Keet was listed as a stationer and colourman, age 40, together with his wife and five children. He was made bankrupt in 1865, when described as photographic artist, stationer, engraver and artists' colourman, of 184 Vine St, and of 90 Renshaw St, Liverpool (London Gazette 17 January 1865). He was followed at 88 Renshaw St by Henry Jeffreys (qv) (information from Cathy Proudlove). George James Keet died, age 48, in the St Pancras, London district in 1868.
Keet's labels have been recorded on works dating to 1850, 1857 and 1861, for example on Robert Tonge's Cheshire Landscape, millboard, 1850 (Sudley, Liverpool, see Bennett 1971). See the illustrations in British canvas, stretcher and panel suppliers' marks. Part 12, England outside London on this website. The watercolour artist, Alfred William Hunt, used four sketchbooks supplied by Keet in the late 1850s (Ashmolean Museum, see Newall 2004 pp.173-8). Henry Keet, perhaps related, was listed at 117 Great George St, Liverpool, as a stationer, bookseller, artists' colourman and photographic artist in 1868.
Kemp & Co, 9 Holden Terrace, Pimlico, London SW 1877-1889,203 Victoria St SW ('adjoining Victoria Station') 1890-1937, 28 Buckingham Palace Road SW1 1937-1940. Kemp & Co (Victoria) Ltd, 28 Buckingham Palace Road 1941-1991 or later, no longer listed 1998. Artists' colourmen, carvers and gilders, fine art dealers, artists' brush manufacturers; by 1991 picture cleaners and restorers.
The business and its predecessors had accounts with Roberson, 1873-1908, firstly in the name of John Capes (qv), who occupied the premises from 1873 to 1876, then as Kemp & Co (Woodcock 1997). Kemp & Co advertised their celebrated sable and hog-hair brushes (The Year's Art 1901), later describing the business as having supplied leading members of the profession for 45 years (The Year's Art 1914), perhaps alluding to the establishment by 1871 of George Bowden (qv) at 9 Holden Terrace who preceded Kemp & Co and John Capes at this address. Several canvas marks have been recorded from the 1870s to the 1890s (information from Cathy Proudlove).
Edward Sherard Kennedy, Walton House, Walton St, Brompton, London SW. Genre painter.
Edward Sherard Kennedy (c.1837-1900) had accounts with Roberson from various addresses in London, Brighton and Kent, 1861-1900 (Woodcock 1997). He was listed at 24 Westbourne Terrace in the 1881 census as Artist Painter, age 44, born in Camberwell. His stencilled canvas mark appears in association with a mark of George Rowney on a painting of c.1888.
*Kennedy & Francis, 17 Oxford St, London 1886-1890. Artists' colourmen.
The business had an account with Roberson, 1885-7 (Woodcock 1997). It advertised as 'China Painters' Depot and General Art Store' (The Artist, vol.7, January 1886, p.32) and as 'The Only Complete Art Store' (The Year's Art 1887-8).Previously it had traded asKennedy & Brown, china dealers and artists' colourmen, by 1881 until 1885, when the partnership between Edward Thomas Kennedy and Arthur Brown was dissolved (London Gazette 16 October 1885).

Kensington Fine Art Society c.1893-1921, Kensington Fine Art Society Ltd 1921-1930. At 26 Alfred Place West (now Thurloe St), South Kensington, London, 1893-1930.
The Kensington Fine Art Society in Alfred Place West went through various transformations. Initially, it was closely associated with the artist, Goldsborough Anderson, of The Studios, Thurloe Square. Nominally acting on behalf of the Kensington Fine Art Society but apparently on his own behalf, Anderson sold his interest in the Society to the short-lived Artists' Alliance Ltd, which was incorporated in December 1893 but which was wound up voluntarily in January 1895 (National Archives, BT 31/5743/40201). Anderson transferred to the Artists' Alliance Ltd the goodwill and stock-in-trade of the Kensington Fine Art Society's business as fine art publishers, printsellers, framemakers and dealers in artists' necessaries, taking a majority holding in the new business, in which the artist Charles W. Mitchell was one of six other shareholders.
It is worth noting that the premises at 26 Alfred Place West had previously been occupied in 1892-3 by another short-lived business, the artists' colourmen and fine art publishers, John Kingham & Co (qv) and that the Anglo-American Art Color Co Ltd (qv) claimed to have a depot at these premises in 1893.
By 1896, Marcel Ruet was in occupation. He continued to use the Kensington Fine Art Society name. He sold 'KFAS' marked canvas on occasion and an example is Adrian Jones's Merry Gal, 1900 (Walker Art Gallery, see Morris 1996). For an illustration of this business's canvas stamp, see British canvas, stretcher and panel suppliers' marks. Part 5, E to N on this website.
The Kensington Fine Art Society's premises were also used for showing works of art, apparently in the 1890s and certainly between 1918 and 1926 (Google Book Search for Kensington Fine Art Society). The Kensington Fine Art Society sold etchings to the School of Art in Edinburgh in 1903 (National Records of Scotland, NG1/37/3).
Marcel Ruet, or to give him his full name Pierre Marie Marcel Ruet (c.1864-1921 or later), traded as a dealer at Soho Square and in Victoria St in the first half of the 1890s, and thereafter from Alfred Place for about 25 years, returning to France in the mid-1920s. He appears in census records as a picture dealer living in Chiswick with his wife Marie and three children in 1901 and 1911. He was recorded in Alfred Place as fine art publisher in 1896, as artists' colourman in 1905 and as a picture framemaker in 1914. In 1921 he sold the business for £2000 plus a shareholding in the newly formed company, Kensington Fine Art Society Ltd, a business which traded until wound up voluntarily in 1930 (National Archives, BT 31/26697/175832, BT 34/4682/175832). In the documentation for the new company, he was described as a fine art dealer, and the scope of the new business was widely drawn, including as colour printers, stationers, publishers, booksellers, printsellers and dealers in and manufacturers of picture frame, mounts and artists' materials. The Medici Society Ltd and two of its directors were the largest shareholders after Ruet himself. After the Kensington Fine Art Society Ltd was wound up, the Medici Society Ltd took on the premises at 26 Alfred Place West (renamed Thurloe St in 1938), and still trades there.

Wilfred C. Kimber 1922-1941, 1946-1966, W.C. Kimber (Successors) Ltd 1967-1969. At 105 Great Russell St, London WC1 1922, 36 Bedford Place, London WC1 1922-1924, The Etchers' Stores, Tankerton Street Works, Cromer St, WC1 1924-1941, 1946-1950, 25 Field St, King's Cross Road, WC1 1951-1962, 24 King's Bench St, SE1 1963-1969. Etching materials supplier, from 1946 printing press maker.
Wilfred Charles Kimber (1879-1961), son of Richard Godsell Kimber, held some shares in his father's business, Hughes & Kimber Ltd (qv), until the company's demise in 1909. He married in 1905 in the Lambeth district and was listed in the 1911 census as an engineer manager, printing machinery and materials, age 32, living in West Norwood with his wife and two daughters. He died age 82 in the Lambeth district in 1961.
When Kimber set up independently following the First World War, he focussed on etching and plate printing materials, copper plate presses and general artists' materials. In 1924 he advertised that he was moving to the Tankerton Street Works in June, so that 'his Engineering Works, Paper Warehouse, Etchers' Stores, and Offices may be conveniently grouped together' (The Studio, vol.88, July 1924, p.vi). In his price list published in September that year, he offered copper plate presses, polished copper and zinc plates, papers of various sorts, and tools and materials for etching, aquatint, mezzotint, wood engraving, lithography, illuminating and writing, sketching, painting in watercolour and in oil colour, and the Bromoil transfer process (Price List of Etching and Plate Printing Materials Copper Plate Presses, &c, 1924, 48pp).
Kimber published several catalogues between 1924 and 1932. He supplied his catalogues to the Long Island artist, illustrator and etcher, William Steeple Davis, in 1928 and 1930. He supplied printing paper to the artist and print-maker, Charles Tunniclffe, in 1929 (see Robert Meyrick and Harry Heuser, C.F. Tunnicliffe Prints: A catalogue raisonné, 2017, p.38).
It is worth noting that Kimber's younger brother, John Arnold Kimber (1887-1967), set up Process Supplies Service at 19 Mount Pleasant to supply process chemicals, together with Leonard Attewell Spencer (b.1889), who was in partnership until 31 December 1933 (London Gazette 23 January 1934). The current business, Process Supplies (London) Ltd, 13-25 Mount Pleasant, London WC1X 0AR, identifies its origins at 19 Mount Pleasant in 1928 (see its website, www.processuk.net/, accessed June 2019). The Kimber name continued under John Arnold Kimber, trading as Kimbers Process Supplies Service, and then as Kimbers Supplies Service from 44 Clerkenwell Green in the 1940s and as Kimbers Etching Supplies Ltd subsequently. The business advertised its materials for artist engravers, lithographers, commercial designers and fine artists (The Artist's Guide, 1951, p.xv; The Artist, vol.42, January 1952, p.xiv). Kimbers Etching Supplies Ltd was struck off the companies' register in 1971 (London Gazette 25 March 1971).

Frank William King, 18 Cleveland St, Fitzroy Square, London 1880-1889, 24 Great Titchfield St from 1890. Artists' colourman; picture framemaker from 1892.
Frank William King (1853-1943?) was successor to Henry Lassalle at 18 Cleveland St. He was listed in censuses at this address in 1881 as a cabinetmaker, age 28, and in Islington in 1911, still as a cabinetmaker. He is possibly the Frank W. King who died in 1943 at the age of 89 in the Hendon registration district.
King's canvas stamp has been recorded, 1887 (information from Cathy Proudlove). For an illustration of King's stamp, see British canvas, stretcher and panel suppliers' marks. Part 5, E to N on this website.
*H.S. King, 57 High St, Hampstead, London by 1904-1957 and later. Artists' colourman, subsequently a bookseller and a stationer.
Henry Seymour King (1868-1936?), son of Henry King, may have been successor to William and Henry King, oil and colourmen who, by 1880 and until 1903, were successively at nos 44-45, 56 and 55 High St, Hampstead. In censuses Henry S. King can be found at 3 Pond St in 1881 and at 19 Pond St in 1891 and again in 1901 when described as a stationer, age 33, together with his two sisters. He had an account with Roberson, 1901-5 (Woodcock 1997). His canvas stamp can be found on C. Polowetski's Israel Zangwill, 1909 (National Portrait Gallery), reading: H.S. KING,/ 57, HIGH STREET,/ HAMPSTEAD, N.W. By 1928 the business was trading as a bookseller and as late as 1984 as a stationer. He is possibly to be identified with Henry S. King, who died, age 68, in 1936 in the Hendon district.
Miss King, brushmaker, see Derveaux
*John Kingham & Co, 26 Alfred Place West, South Kensington, London 1892-1893. Artists' colourmen, fine art publishers, picture framemakers.
John Hester Kingham (c.1850-1926) was born in Newnham, Hampshire. In census records, he can be found in 1881 as a schoolmaster in Nettleton, Lincolnshire, in 1891 as an agent living in Willesden and in 1901 as a dairy agent in Willesden. At the age of 62, described as a dairy agent, he married Maria Mueller in 1912 in Willesden, where he died in 1926.
Kingham's foray into artists' materials was short lived. 'Kingham & Co' advertised artists' materials from South Kensington including lay figures and easels on hire, artists' oil and water colours made by Roberson, Winsor & Newton, Newman, Reeves and Rowney, and, as sole proprietors, 'the artists' sketching vest and hold-all... for protection from cold without impeding the free action of the arm' (The Year's Art 1893). In the same year the Anglo-American Art Colour Co Ltd (qv) advertised a depot at this address, which was also the home of the Kensington Fine Art Society (qv) and then the short lived Artists Alliance Ltd, listed as artists' colourman in 1895. John Kingham & Co had an account with Roberson, August 1892 to July 1893, but was marked 'bankrupt' in their ledgers in 1893 (Woodcock 1997). John Hester Kingham, trading as Kingham & Co, was made bankrupt in July 1893 (London Gazette 21 July 1893).

Microsoft acquires new messaging app
It has been revealed that Microsoft has acquired Talko, a mobile messaging app developed by a former Microsoft architect.
The app was designed by Ray Ozzie, the man responsible for the development of Lotus Notes before he joined Microsoft. Mr Ozzie is also responsible for the company's focus on cloud computing services. The fact that he has sold his new app to Microsoft does not mean that he will be going back to work for the company, however, even though the rest of the team that has been working on the app will be moving over to the larger company when the deal is finalised.
The Talko app, which will be part of the Skype and Skype for Business apps, focuses on live voice communications and will take over from the traditional conference call set-up by using cloud computing systems. Users will also be able to record whole conversations so that they can be used later for training purposes and for updates. The app was designed primarily for business and appears to be a perfect fit for Microsoft's Skype for Business app, improving online communications and VoIP applications.
The Talko app will actually be closed down over the course of the next few months, with the features incorporated into the Skype products. Mr Ozzie has confirmed that he is committed to the development of new apps and products and is looking forward to his next challenge.

What does a god looks like? What does it (God) do? Sometimes, I feel like god is like a person watching a cable television, changing different channels as per his wish. God is just simply the Source of Energy that runs this life and we pray for our prosperity, not others (?).Even more, people do futile indenture with God (if there is!) for prosperity. Have your ever done so? All human are entailed with inexorable predicaments to embroil in Life. It is law of nature, universally applicable.
The entire so called "religious" congeries only baffled and ensue only the negativities. Even if there is God in their religion, he/she must have never taught about zealot, invectives, mutinous, ignominious, opprobrium, disparaging, cupidity, skullduggery, traduce, calumnious mordant nature. What is there to be so much incumbent on one's religion? Why do there's derogation from other's religions? To be meritocracy (expedient), why do one is subjugated to flout convert is essential. The oppugn disparities were not the canon words of orator. The charlatan followers riddle all the religious wont lessons. In fact, the canons must be universal one. The true canon is diffracted into fortuitous religious legion that not only mutilated, but obtrusively dilapidate it as well.
My personal perspective is that if there's good in any religions then, learn and accept it. I am not being agnostic, heretic, iconoclastic to orthodox; however, skimming and exhuming the suave religious scribbles and truculent nature of human being so that one can vehemently absolve from hypocrisy. Understanding true Gnostic will be adventitious to the latent feelings for augmentation because ignorance is the greatest encumber. In addition, the orators have been the photocopy. What is left is to think ourselves? Even, I forfeit to all that these information are just corrigible chasm and hoping it will be fruitful in discriminating the concerted facts of Life.
The catechism of every religion has copious thick books, can be collated to form a library that hardly waste time. I suggest no need to delve into it because I can tell in a few squiggle sentences. I just simply say, "Don't act, think bad activities; do well whatever it is". These lives are short and try to gain the "meaning of life". Imagine the happiness, friends only the benison and bequeath with love in this cantonment of this life. He is god, who has only magnanimous feelings towards others. I know this manifest epigram will be deracinated and founder as it loses its crux when it just scurry with mordant reality. Good milieus are only good in books; maybe therefore, there are libraries.
In coda, there's nothing esoteric, enigmatic predicament to discuss about God. God is simply Good, and therefore, propitious to all, but, bequeath to our thinking pattern. Do and Follow a good thing means to remain in close to God. Create a just a Good consonant environment is to remain just close to god. Why do people ensnare populace in a name of God? Why god doesn't comes to absolve during predicaments. Cogitate upon it. Only jiffy happiness & commiserate is available through extraneous factors. Inner peace ensconces life. Never do business with God. Don't ask me, what god looks like? I haven't seen it, but I can feel it.

High On Life
Artist Charlie Stagg
Photo by Bud Lee
October 5, 2002 - September 1, 2003
Curated by Tom Patterson
As human beings, we are hardwired to experience ecstasy, epiphany, laughter, and bliss. Little children twirling in the summer sun to experience the altered state of becoming falling-down-dizzy are not very far removed from whirling dervishes seeking spiritual attunement with the harmonious spin of the planet. If the pull upward into ecstasy is mighty, human frailties dictate that the ascent will be an imperfect one, with use sometimes leading to the hell of abuse. The National Institutes of Health put the total cost of alcohol and drug abuse at $245 billion in 1992, up 50 percent over 1985. The human toll is incalculable.
Because the urge is biological, and because the distinction between licit and illicit drugs is not based on harm, legal attempts at prohibition seem doomed to failure. Albert Einstein's 1921 words on Prohibition ring as true of the "War on Drugs" as they did the War on Alcohol: "The prestige of government has undoubtedly been lowered considerably by the Prohibition law. For nothing is more destructive of respect for the government and the law of the land than passing laws which cannot be enforced. It is an open secret that the dangerous increase of crime in this country is closely connected with this." The War on Drugs is a war that does not go away, is not won, and does not end. It is a war with an economic and emotional price tag that exceeds the costs of all the wars in which Americans have fought and died. In a new millennium with age-old problems escalating exponentially, taking a compassionate and searingly honest look at humankind's long history of addiction and self-medication, along with positive efforts toward spiritual transformation, is the only way to formulate enlightened actions and compassionate responses. If human beings are intrinsically flawed, they are also endlessly transcendent. Addiction is a spectrum in which we all participate, whether our drug of choice is caffeine, nicotine, morphine, sugar or shopping. To paraphrase Pogo, "We have met the addict and he is us."
"I can resist everything except temptation." - Oscar Wilde
Western culture's notion of temptation is twinned with its concept of sin: Adam and Eve were expelled from the Garden of Eden for eating the forbidden fruit of the Tree of Knowledge and their subsequent offspring have borne the burden of that original error ever since. Implicit in this viewpoint is the suggestion that heeding the call of the senses, and of drugs that affect them, is inherently anti-social, self-destructive, or deviant. In Eastern cultures, the notion of attraction to or dependence upon the material world is viewed as a loss of self-mastery. Yet humans are biologically programmed to seek pleasure and avoid pain. We are not lone creatures in this urge: As UCLA psychopharmacologist Ronald Siegal noted in his 1989 book Intoxication, "After sampling the numbing nectar of certain orchids, bees drop to the ground in a temporary stupor, then weave back for more. Birds gorge themselves on inebriating berries, then fly with reckless abandon. Cats eagerly sniff catnip then play with imaginary objects. Cows browse special range weed then twitch, shake, shudder, and stumble back for more. Elephants purposely get drunk on fermented fruits. Snacks on Magic Mushrooms cause monkeys to sit with their heads on their hands in a posture reminiscent of Rodin's The Thinker."
The natural desire to feel good-sometimes most powerfully experienced precisely when we're not feeling good-renders us ever-receptive to anything that promises to improve our sense of well-being, no matter how temporarily, and in many cases regardless of the cost. The works in this section of High on Life illustrate the powerful allure that certain drugs, habits, and compulsive behavior patterns exert.
"Opportunity may only knock once, but temptation leans on the doorbell." - Anonymous
Intoxicants may promise a quick-fix paradise, but the promise comes without a guarantee, and for some users repeated attempts to visit paradise wind up leading precisely in the opposite direction. Drugs can transport one for a while to realms of bliss, ecstasy, and sensual delight; they can also plunge the user into deeply disturbing chasms of horror and psychological or physical pain.
The works in "Descent" stem from a variety of motivations and contexts, but they all reflect, either literally or metaphorically, the "hellish" aspect of drug experience and human experience in general-a dimension of consciousness, also associated with nightmares, that is inherently disturbing and sometimes terrifying.
"If ever there was a room made by the devil, it would be a shooting gallery." - Michael Carbone, Social Worker
From the standpoint of the legal system, there are only two classes of drugs-legal and illegal. Classification is not based on harm but on history, custom, and economics, and the lines shift like sand from place to place and across time. After coffee was banned in Egypt in the 16th century, dealers were punished and stocks were burned. In 1777, Frederick the Great of Prussia banned coffee roasting except in official government establishments, saying, "Many battles have been fought and won by soldiers nourished on beer, and the King does not believe that coffee-drinking soldiers can be relied upon to endure hardships in case of another war."
In colonial America, liquor was "food, medicine, and social lubricant." Laudanum, an opium derivative, was widely used throughout the eighteenth century, for everything from soothing a teething baby to easing the arthritic aches and pains of the elderly. Nineteenth-century America has been described as a "dope fiend's paradise," where opium, morphine, and heroin were all as legal and accessible as aspirin. Brilliant Johns Hopkins surgeon Dr. William S. Halsted, who became an addict after pioneering local anesthesia, used morphine daily. In the early years of the twentieth century, members of the Women's Christian Temperance Union railed against the dangers of alcohol but consumed quantities of opium-laced patent medicines like Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup or McMunn's Elixir of Opium at their temperance meetings. Today, marijuana is illegal in the United States, but in the European Union and Canada, authorities are moving to decriminalize or legalize it and medical uses are already permitted in many of those countries.
The artworks in Dispensation deal with the wide range of substances whose use is legal and socially sanctioned for medicinal or recreational use in the United States. They include sugar, nicotine, alcohol, and prescription drugs, as well as other legal, socially sanctioned substances and activities, such as food and shopping, often associated with addictive behavior.
Just Say Know
"If there is a war on drugs, then many of our family members are the enemy. And I don't know how you wage war on your own family." - Michael Douglas as the newly appointed Drug Czar Robert Wakefield in TRAFFIC
Former Baltimore Mayor Kurt Schmoke called the war on drugs "our domestic Vietnam." Like the Vietnam War, Schmoke said, the War on Drugs has "lasted too long and cost too many lives. . . . It's time to bring this enervating war to an end. It's time for peace."
Few topics of public discourse since the Vietnam War have proven more contentious than drugs. Several U.S. Presidents in a row have supported the heavily financed, highly publicized war, with results that have been, in the most generous estimation, dubious. The phrase most often associated with the endeavor is the slogan coined by former First Lady Nancy Reagan to discourage young people from using illegal drugs: "Just say no." However, when it comes to drugs, as with sex, young people tend to be curious, inquisitive, unwilling to settle for oversimplified answers, and suspicious of the advice offered by their elders. As Ogden Nash put it: "Oh, what a tangled web do parents weave/When they think that their children are naïve." The millions of young people and adults who regularly consume illegal drugs aren't the only ones who have rejected the "Just say no" approach and questioned the wisdom of the War on Drugs. Increasing numbers of ordinary, non-using citizens, as well as respected leaders from across the political spectrum have urged rethinking our society's punishment-oriented approach to drugs in favor of a "harm reduction" approach that acknowledges that there is no ultimate solution to the problem of drugs in a free society, and advocates lessening the harm of drugs through education, prevention, and treatment.
The works in Just Say Know embody with imagery and texts just a few of the many arguments that have been offered to support various positions in this ongoing societal debate.
Constant Craving
"Junk is the ideal product . . . the ultimate merchandise. No sales talk necessary. The client will crawl through a sewer and beg to buy . . ." - William S. Burroughs, Introduction to Naked Lunch
What makes one continue to push the pleasure pedal long after pleasure has turned to pain? In a 1954 Bulletin on Narcotics, the U.N. Office for Drug Control and Crime Prevention defines the Spanish word for drug addiction-toxicomania-as "an irresistible urge towards poisons, in particular narcotic substances." A drug is commonly defined as any substance that in small amounts produces significant changes in the body, mind or both. Definitions of addiction vary, but most include the element of loss of control over use. Essentially, drugs overwhelm the body. The issue is less one of free choice: An addicted person is biologically reprogrammed and will continue to use even when recurring physical or psychological problems outweigh the pleasure.
In a speech titled "Why We Are All Addicted," Andrew Weil, M.D., describes a patient with a six-gram-a day cocaine habit. The only pleasure shooting up gave her was in the first few minutes immediately after the day's first injection. The next five or six hours were filled with paranoia, violent shaking, insomnia, and palpitations. Describing her addiction, she said "I want not to want it." Weil traces the root of the craving to the origins of the universe and the evolution of human consciousness. "It's that fundamental. It's that much a part of our humanness. Not only is addiction universal, not only are all of us in it, but it's the essence of our being as humans." Given that addiction is part of who are, Weil says, the only solutions are to try to shift it so that the forms of its expression are less harmful-substituting exercise for cigarettes or a 12-step program for heroin-or to try to get at the root of the problem through intense introspection and meditation.
The primary drugs referenced in this gallery-heroin and cocaine-are derivatives of plants whose pharmaceutical properties have been known and exploited by human beings for millennia. Dependency on these drugs is probably just as old, but modern techniques for chemically refining them and self-administering them by intravenous injection are relatively new, developed only in the last two centuries. These highly efficient methods of concentrating and administering these drugs at very powerful dosages have substantially exacerbated the problem of dependency and abuse.
Plants of the Gods
"The shamanic plants and the worlds that they reveal are the worlds from which we imagine that we came long ago, worlds of light and power and beauty that in some form or another lie behind the eschatological visions of all of the world's great religions." - Terence McKenna, Food of the Gods: The Search for the Original Tree of Knowledge (1992)
Shamanic use of plant-based hallucinogens-including cannabis, mushrooms, peyote, and ayahuasca-was central to the religious lives of people in parts of Africa, China, India, Tibet, Siberia, Mediterranean Europe, and the Americas. To the shaman with expertise in their use, the experience that rational science interprets as hallucination is an interdimensional interaction with supernatural beings and visible, sometimes audible energy forms-in other words, nothing short of a direct encounter with God or gods. For this reason, some modern students of these drugs have termed them "entheogens"-activators of inner divinity.
The widespread ritual use of these substances was demonized in Europe and in other parts of the world with the rise of the monotheistic religions and dominator cultures whose prevailing drugs of choice were alcoholic. European explorers and the missionary clergymen who accompanied them to the Americas-home to the widest variety of plant hallucinogens in the world-continued the campaign of suppression. They were so successful that the existence of most of these naturally occurring drugs-cannabis being a notable exception-remained virtually unknown to the modern Western world until their rediscovery in the mid-twentieth century.
This rediscovery took place first in the scientific and therapeutic communities, then spread quickly during the 1960s into the popular arena. The suddenly widespread, indiscriminate, and uncontrolled use of plant-based hallucinogens and their synthetically produced chemical derivatives-such as psilocybin, mescaline, DMT, and LSD-resulted in occasional public incidents and innumerable "bad trips." The ensuing sensationalizing by the mass media, and prompted a fierce legal and political backlash, resulting in the blanket legal prohibition of them all by the end of that turbulent decade. As with the prohibition of alcohol in this country earlier in the twentieth century, prohibition didn't dampen the public fascination with and inclination to use them. While the U.S. government put an end to virtually all legitimate experimental tests of these drugs, they continue to be used for private recreational, psychotherapeutic, and spiritual purposes, as reflected in the contemporary artworks that dominate this gallery.
The Third Eye
"The third eye is the director of energy or force, and thus an instrument of the will or Spirit . . . . It is the eye of the inner vision, and he who has opened it can direct and control the energy of matter, see all things in the Eternal Now, and therefore be in touch with causes more than with effects, read the akashic records, and see clairvoyantly." - Alice A. Bailey, A Treatise on Cosmic Fire (1925)
Drugs precipitate changes in brain chemistry. Such changes have also been associated with visionary states of consciousness achieved solely through mystical disciplines, without the aid of drugs. For many centuries adepts in spiritual disciplines ranging across virtually all religions have spoken of the transcendent, ecstatic states of consciousness achieved through the dedicated pursuit of meditation, fasting, dancing, and other arduous spiritual practices.
The enlightenment or divine illumination experience is perhaps most poetically characterized in the image of the newly opened "third eye"-a metaphor rooted in the pre-Ayurvedic oral and visual traditions of India, typically illustrated by an image of an eye positioned in the central forehead. This is the Ajna-Chakra of Tantric yoga, which teaches that this chakra, or energy center, forms the boundary between human and divine consciousness. Its actual location is within the brain, at the upper center of the skull, anatomically corresponding to the pineal gland, directly above one of the crucial byways for cerebrospinal fluid and in close proximity to the crucial emotional and sensory brain centers. Recent neurochemical theories have suggested a correspondence between the mystical enlightenment experience and the spontaneous release of the hallucinogen DMT, or N,N-dimethyltryptamine, within the pineal gland, and have also connected such endogenous DMT production with the spirit's departure from the body at the moment of physical death.
The works in this gallery allude in various ways to the precipitation of spiritually beneficial changes in brain chemistry in the absence of drugs, and point to the possibility that each of us has the innate capacity to self-regulate our brain chemistry in order to produce such changes and gain regular access to visionary consciousness or divine wisdom.

Nabil al-Marabh. [Source: Associated Press]Nabil al-Marabh moves to Boston in 1989 and apparently lives there as a taxi driver for several years. [New York Times, 9/18/2001; Boston Herald, 9/19/2001] In a 2003 interview, al-Marabh will claim that he had a conflict with a fellow Boston taxi driver who falsely accused him of planning to bomb a car. He will say he spoke with FBI agents who concluded the allegations were false. But from this time on, the FBI repeatedly tried to recruit him to become an informant. He will claim he refused the offer (see Late August 2000). [Knight Ridder, 5/23/2003] In a 2002 statement, he will claim that he traveled to Pakistan in 1992 at the behest of a roommate who "both worked for the FBI and fought in Afghanistan." (Interestingly, when al-Marabh will be briefly detained in Canada in the summer of 2001, fellow prisoners will claim that he repeatedly says he is in contact with the FBI because they find him "special"(see June 27, 2001-July 11, 2001).) Al-Marabh stays at the House of Martyrs, a guest house notoriously connected to bin Laden. He says he meets al-Qaeda operative Raed Hijazi there (though it seems likely they already met in Afghanistan in the late 1980s (see Late 1980s).) The two of them will later be roommates in Boston in the late 1990s (see June 1995-Early 1999). Curiously, one newspaper account will claim that Hijazi became an FBI informant around the time he was al-Marabh's roommate (see Early 1997-Late 1998). [Washington Post, 9/4/2002] Al-Marabh and Hijazi go to a training camp in Afghanistan and receive training in rifles, machine guns, and rocket-propelled grenades. [Washington Post, 9/4/2002; Chicago Sun-Times, 9/5/2002; Associated Press, 6/3/2004] Al-Marabh later claims that he spends the next year or two in Pakistan working for the Muslim World League, an Islamic charity some have suspected of funding radical militants. He also later acknowledges distributing as much as $200,000 a month to various training camps in Afghanistan at this time, but claims it is for charitable causes. He says he decides to return to the US in the wake of a Pakistani crackdown on Arabs following the World Trade Center bombing in 1993.

Nabil al-Marabh returned to Canada from Afghanistan in February 1994 using a fraudulent Saudi Arabian passport. But his request for asylum was eventually denied. He then enters the US in June 1995 and applies for asylum there. That too is denied, and he is ordered deported in 1997. But the order is not enforced and he continues to live in the US and Canada illegally until 9/11. [Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, 10/22/2001; Knight Ridder, 5/23/2003] Al-Marabh moves to Boston and gets a job as a taxi driver. He had known al-Qaeda operatives Bassam Kanj, Mohamad Kamal Elzahabi, and Raed Hijazi in training camps in Afghanistan (see Late 1980s; 1989-1994), and this group of four regathers in Boston. Kanj has been there since 1995, driving taxis at the same company that hires al-Marabh. Elzahabi moves to Boston from New York City in 1997 and also gets a job at this same taxi company. There are conflicting accounts as to who brings Raed Hijazi to Boston and why he goes there, but by the beginning of 1998 he is also working for this taxi company. [Boston Globe, 2/5/2001; New York Times, 9/18/2001; New York Times, 10/14/2001; Washington Post, 9/4/2002] Al-Marabh and Hijazi are roommates for at least two months. While they work together driving taxis, Hijazi is saving his earnings to spend on bomb plots and is working on an al-Qaeda plot to attack a US warship. That plot will develop into the attack on the USS Cole in 2000. [ABC News 7 (Chicago), 1/31/2002; Washington Post, 9/4/2002] Around the end of 1998, Kanj and Hijazi leave Boston to work on al-Qaeda plots overseas while Elzahabi leaves in 1999 to fight as a sniper in Chechnya. Al-Marabh will also leave, moving to Florida in early 1999 (see February 1999-February 2000), but he periodically returns to his Boston residence for some time, as his wife and son continue to live there. These four men will continue to help each other in various al-Qaeda plots. [Boston Globe, 2/5/2001; Boston Globe, 6/26/2004] Apparently, al-Qaeda recruiter Kamal Derwish also works at the same Boston taxi company, though the timing is not clear. He trained in Afghanistan in 1992, a time when al-Marabh was also there. He will be killed by a US missile strike in November 2002 (see November 3, 2002). [Christian Science Monitor, 5/23/2003] Even though the Boston FBI is aware long before 9/11 that at least four of the men are connected to al-Qaeda (see January 2001), the FBI will officially deny the possibility of any al-Qaeda cell in Boston until 2004 (see June 27, 2004).

In February 1999, Nabil al-Marabh moves to Tampa, Florida. He gets a Florida driver's license and begins driving taxis in Tampa, just as he did previously in Boston. According to an apartment complex manager, from February 1999 to February 2000 he lives in an apartment with another Arab man with a different last name. Investigators later will wonder if al-Marabh was an advance man for the Florida-based 9/11 hijackers. Tampa is about 50 miles north of Venice, where several 9/11 hijacker pilots will attend flight schools beginning in July 2000 (see July 1-3, 2000). While immigration records indicate Mohamed Atta will first arrive in the US in June 2000, there is some evidence of him being in the US before then (see Late April-Mid-May 2000; April 2000), and he may arrive in Florida by September 1999 (see September 1999). [New York Times, 9/18/2001; ABC News 7 (Chicago), 1/31/2002] Most of the information on al-Marabh's taxi license application is fraudulent, including where he lived and worked from 1994 to 1999. [ABC News 7 (Chicago), 1/31/2002] In May 1999, a potential al-Qaeda sleeper agent named Ihab Ali Nawawi is arrested in Orlando, Florida, about 80 miles from Tampa. Nawawi had been working as a taxi driver and was in contact with top al-Qaeda leaders. While the similarity between him and al-Marabh is intriguing, there is no known reported connection in Florida between the two men (see May 18, 1999). In the early 1990s, both worked for the Pakistani branch of the Muslim World League, a charity with suspected terrorism ties (see 1989-1994). [St. Petersburg Times, 10/28/2001] Al-Marabh also apparently goes to Afghanistan some time in 1999 or early 2000. [Canadian Press, 10/11/2001]

Ihab Ali Nawawi. [Source: FBI]Ihab Ali Nawawi is arrested in Orlando, Florida. He is considered an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1998 US embassy bombings in Africa. Nawawi's family moved from Egypt to the US in the late 1970's and he graduated from an Orlando high school. He fought in Afghanistan in the 1980's and helped bin Laden move to Sudan in 1991. Nawawi received a commercial pilot's license from Airman Flight School in Norman, Oklahoma, in 1993. He crashed an airplane owned by bin Laden in 1995 on a runway in Khartoum, Sudan (see Early 1993). He lived in Sudan until 1996 when he moved back to Orlando. Nawawi's role in al-Qaeda is revealed days after the 1998 US embassy bombings in Africa when Ali Mohamed's residence in California is raided. A letter from Nawawi is discovered asking Mohamed to give his "best regards to your friend Osama"(see August 24, 1998). Nawawi's connection to the embassy bombings were possibly discovered months earlier, because there were a series of phone calls in 1997 between an Orlando telephone owned by Nawawi's sister and an al-Qaeda safe house in Nairobi, Kenya. Many telephone numbers connected to that house were being monitored by US intelligence at the time. Given his obvious al-Qaeda ties, it is not clear why agents waited until May 1999 before arresting Nawawi. He is questioned in front of a grand jury, but prosecutors say he is lying and he refuses to talk anymore. FBI agents will visit the Airman Flight School in September 1999 to enquire about his attendance there (see September 1999). He will remain jailed and in September 2000 is finally charged for contempt and perjury. In October 2001, the St. Petersburg Times will report, "There are signs that Ali's resolve might now be weakening. Court records indicate that Ali's lawyers seemed to reach an understanding with the government in March [2001]. Since that time, all documents in the case have been filed under seal." [St. Petersburg Times, 10/28/2001] In May 2002, three full years after his arrest, the New York Times will report that "Nawawi remains in federal custody even now, although he has not been charged with conspiring in the embassy bombing." [New York Times, 5/18/2002] As of the end of 2005, there appears to be no further news on what has happened to Nawawi, and no sign of any trial. When Nawawi is arrested, he is working as a taxi driver. At this time Al-Qaeda operative Nabil al-Marabh is working as a taxi driver about 80 miles away in Tampa, Florida, and while the similarity is intriguing, there is no known reported connection between the two men (see February 1999-February 2000).

Several cashiers at the store vaguely remember seeing Atta there. [Miami Herald, 9/18/2001] According to the official story, Atta does not arrive in the US until June 3, 2000 (see June 3, 2000).

Spruce Whited, director of security for the Portland, Maine Public Library, later says 9/11 hijacker Mohamed Atta and possibly a second hijacker are regulars at the library and frequently use public Internet terminals at this time. He says four other employees recognize Atta as a library patron. "I remember seeing [Atta] in the spring of 2000," he says. "I have a vague Memory of a second one who turned out to be [Atta's] cousin." Whited also says federal authorities have not inquired about the library sightings. Even a year later, he says the FBI does finally speak to librarians, but not in relation to their 9/11 investigation. [Boston Herald, 10/5/2001; Portland Press Herald, 10/5/2001; Associated Press, 9/9/2002] The library's executive director says that three other employees came to her saying they had seen Atta about half a dozen times in the spring and summer 2000. [Maine Sunday Telegram, 9/30/2001] According to the official story, Atta does not arrive in the US until June 3, 2000. [Miami Herald, 9/22/2001; Australian Broadcasting Corporation, 11/12/2001]

Johnelle Bryant. [Source: ABC News]9/11 hijacker Mohamed Atta reportedly has a very strange meeting with Johnelle Bryant of the US Department of Agriculture. Incidentally, this meeting takes place one month before the official story claims he arrived in the US for the first time. According to Bryant, in the meeting Atta does all of the following: He initially refuses to speak with one who is "but a female." He asks her for a loan of $650,000 to buy and modify a crop-dusting plane. He mentions that he wants to "build a chemical tank that would fit inside the aircraft and take up every available square inch of the aircraft except for where the pilot would be sitting." He uses his real name even as she takes notes, and makes sure she spells it correctly. He says he has just arrived from Afghanistan. He tells about his travel plans to Spain and Germany. He expresses an interest in visiting New York. He asks her about security at the WTC and other US landmarks. He discusses al-Qaeda and its need for American membership. He tells her bin Laden "would someday be known as the world's greatest leader." He asks to buy the aerial photograph of Washington hanging on her Florida office wall, throwing increasingly large "wads of cash" at her when she refuses to sell it. [ABC News, 6/6/2002] After Bryant points out one of the buildings in the Washington photograph as her former place of employment, he asks her, "How would you like it if somebody flew an airplane into your friends' building?" He asks her, "What would prevent [me] from going behind [your] desk and cutting [your] throat and making off with the millions of dollars" in the safe behind her. He asks, "How would America like it if another country destroyed [Washington] and some of the monuments in it like the cities in [my] country had been destroyed?" He gets "very agitated" when he isn't given the money in cash on the spot. Atta later tries to get the loan again from the same woman, this time "slightly disguised" by wearing glasses. Three other terrorists also attempt to get the same loan from Bryant, but all of them fail. Bryant turns them down because they do not meet the loan requirements, and fails to notify anyone about these strange encounters until after 9/11. Government officials not only confirm the account and say that Bryant passed a lie detector test, but also elaborate that the account is consistent with other information they have received from interrogating prisoners. Supposedly, failing to get the loan, the terrorists switched plans from using crop dusters to hijacking aircraft. Other department employees also remember the encounter, again said to take place in April 2000. The 9/11 Commission has failed to mention any aspect of Johnelle Bryant's account. [Washington Post, 9/25/2001; ABC News, 6/6/2002; London Times, 6/8/2002] Compare Atta's meeting with FBI Director Mueller's later testimony about the hijackers: "There were no slip-ups. Discipline never broke down. They gave no hint to those around them what they were about." [CNN, 9/28/2002]

Rudi Dekkers. [Source: Peter Muhly / Agence France-Presse]9/11 hijackers Mohamed Atta and Marwan Alshehhi move from New York to Venice, Florida. [Chicago Sun-Times, 9/16/2001] They arrive at Huffman Aviation, a flying school at Venice Municipal Airport, on July 1, according to the school's owner Rudi Dekkers, inquiring about taking lessons there. They are reported to also check out a flight school in Oklahoma at the beginning of this month (see July 2-3, 2000). They then return to Huffman—on July 3 according the Dekkers—and begin flight instruction, subsequently enrolling in the school's Accelerated Pilot Program. When they register at the school, Atta and Alshehhi use their real names. Dekkers later states that they say they are unhappy with a flying school they attended up north, though he gives no details about the identity of this school. It will later be claimed that Atta and Alshehhi attended a flight school in Punta Gorda before moving to Venice (see Before July 2000). However, Punta Gorda is south, not north, of Venice. Paying by check, Atta will give $18,703.50 in total for his lessons, while Alshehhi gives $20,917.63. The money necessary to cover their training is sent to them in a series of transfers from Dubai (see June 29, 2000-September 18, 2000). [Washington Post, 9/19/2001; Washington Post, 9/30/2001; US Congress, 3/19/2002; 9/11 Commission, 7/24/2004, pp. 224; St. Petersburg Times, 7/25/2004] Huffman's owner Rudi Dekkers has what the St. Petersburg Times will describe as "a long history of troubled businesses, run-ins with the Federal Aviation Administration and numerous lawsuits." [St. Petersburg Times, 7/25/2004] After 9/11 he will face even more lawsuits (see August 23, 2001-April 2004).

The character of the objects being purchased and offered between forex trading and stocks buying and selling are totally different.
Expectations should rise now with the ending warfare (with inventory costs and consumer spending following). If directors decide to distribute much less dividend among the shareholders, the prices of the shares will go down. Investing in shares could be a good technique for long run growth.
How long the VIX stays under 15 is anyone's guess, since inventory rallies and complacency can last a very long time; nevertheless, a VIX below 15 is usually a good time to buy ETFs that derive their worth from volatility choices in anticipation of future inventory index volatility.
GDP India represents the fourth largest financial system on the earth in value parity parameter (PPP). Monetary innovation has brought many new monetary instruments whose pay-offs or values rely on the costs of shares. Even the 2008-09 global economic down turn didn't have a lot impact on Indian financial growth.
Up to now many people contributed to a 401K or invested in firm inventory not realizing what risk was concerned.

Don McCullin covered almost every major conflict of the late 20th century. To mark his 75th birthday, the Imperial War Museum North (UK) presented an ambitious overview of his career, including many items on public display for the very first time. To accompany this exhibition, McCullin's little known colour work has been reproduced, alongside pages from the magazines and an assemblage of his personal material and documents: his cameras, boots and helmet, numerous passports and photographs of him at work on the battlefield, together with illuminating personal correspondence. McCullin has been shaped by war, there is no mistake about that. Sized to match the original Sunday Times Magazine, where so much of his work first appeared, this book is a mesmerising and moving record of conflict and battle. Not the ultimate photo book, but an unmissable read for his fans.

Quality over quantity, so the saying goes. 50 Downloadable Digital Joints For Woodworking. 50 Downloadable Digital Joints For Woodworking If you were captivated by these animations of traditional Japanese woodworking joints, here's a chance to try out some intricate joinery techniques for yourself.
In the spirit of open access to information, professor Jochen Gros and designer Friedrich Sulzer headed up a research project at the C...Lab of the Hochschule für Gestaltung Offenbach in Germany, where they have developed 50 different wood joinery techniques capable of being fabricated digitally, using tools such as a CNC mill or lasercutter. Now these files have been made accessible to the public via downloadable files in various data formats (including several Autocad capable formats). These Mesmerizing GIFs Illustrate the Art of Traditional Japanese Wood Joinery. These Mesmerizing GIFs Illustrate the Art of Traditional Japanese Wood Joinery For centuries before the invention of screws and fasteners, Japanese craftsmen used complex, interlocking joints to connect pieces of wood for structures and beams, helping to create a uniquely Japanese wood aesthetic that can still be seen in the works of modern masters like Shigeru Ban.
Up until recent times, however, these techniques were often the carefully guarded secrets of family carpentry guilds and unavailable for public knowledge. Even as the joints began to be documented in books and magazines, their 2-dimensional depictions remained difficult to visualize and not found in any one comprehensive source. 121 Definitions of Architecture. There are at least as many definitions of architecture as there are architects or people who comment on the practice of it.
While some embrace it as art, others defend architecture's seminal social responsibility as its most definitive attribute. To begin a sentence with "Architecture is" is a bold step into treacherous territory. And yet, many of us have uttered — or at least thought— "Architecture is…" while we've toiled away on an important project, or reflected on why we've chosen this professional path. Most days, architecture is a tough practice; on others, it is wonderfully satisfying. Why Architecture Isn't Art (And Shouldn't Be) Why Architecture Isn't Art (And Shouldn't Be) In recent years, there has been a lot of discussion about what architecture's ultimate purpose might be - with answers ranging from the creation of form to the correction of societal ills.
But according to Lance Hosey, perhaps the least useful definition currently in circulation is that architecture is "art. " In this article, originally posted to his blog on the Huffington Post, Hosey argues that the concept of architecture as a form of art is not only misleading to the public, but also potentially damaging to society. In July, I wrote that when architects use the bodies of specific women such as Marilyn Monroe or Beyoncé as "inspiration" for buildings, they objectify both women and architecture.

Dumbbell Hang Clean
Knees to Elbows
Here at CrossFit Arise we support the warm-up. I believe the proper warm-up is crucial to a workout and can be detrimental if not done. Will, Dana and I put a lot of thought into our warm-up programming. Although it may not seem like it, getting those muscles warmed up and properly stretched before the WOD is absolutely necessary. I challenge you all to really focus on our warm-ups and achieve the best possible range of motion (ROM) and stretch.
A lot of times it feels just like going throught the routine, but it is vital that you start the blood moving, heart pumping and shaking off those rusty hinges... If you ever feel like you need to stretch a bit more or on a specific area, let us know!
A good strength time today with deadlifts. If you know your max, calculate the weight and get after it! If you are a little unsure ask Dana or I and we will help you out. Make sure you are staying tight at the bottom and really accelerating through those heels! Rest 3-5 min between sets.
For the WOD, go fairly heavy with the DB's. Feel free to use KB's but the movement stays th same. For the K2E's, really focus on pulling with those lower abs and making contact with your elbows. Hanging knees aor knees to triceps are an acceptable scaled version, but we would like to see you guys really closing the shoulders and getting that last couple inches.
As with most of the WOD's, the middle sets (9,8,7,6,5) will be the toughest. Buckle down and smoke through it!

Liberal Democrat Conference votes to liberalise abortion laws
September 17th, 2018
The Liberal Democrats have passed a motion at the party's autumn conference in Brighton to support the removal of consensual abortion from criminal law, and instead have it governed through medical regulation like all other healthcare procedures. This would mean that women in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland who procure an abortion outside of the exceptional grounds allowed by the Abortion Act 1967 would not face criminal prosecution. Humanists UK, which campaigns for the realisation of women's sexual and reproductive rights, welcomes the decision of the Liberal Democrat Party members to adopt this policy.
