Company policies:
1) Vehicle Claims and Descriptions:
Vehicle Descriptions, representations and claims are based on what can be seen by the human eye, documentation, previous professional experience, opinion, factory claims, and, or, information passed on to us by previous owners or restorers. It's to the best of our knowledge that everything we advertise has all indications of being that claim. Please inquire as to what documentation we have on the vehicle you are purchasing. It is with integrity and honesty that we describe our cars, but they are in fact, up to 100 years old, may have had many previous owners, modifications or alterations that are unknown to the dealer, so it's not possible to verify everything about every car. As always we welcome personal inspections and or independent appraisers prior to the sale.
2) Temporary Hold Deposits:
These are refundable deposits to hold a vehicle while financial arrangements or vehicle inspections are being made by the consumer. These deposits will keep a particular vehicle off of the market for a period of up to 48 hours only. At the end of that period the vehicle must be paid in full or put back on the market for sale.

Engineering Machine Learning – 5 Short Webcasts to Help Create a Data Pipeline
Over the past month, Syncsort has released a series of short webcasts focused on Engineering Machine Learning. Making the hurdle from designing a machine learning model to putting it into production, is the key to getting value back – and the roadblock that stops many promising machine learning projects. After the data scientists have done their part, engineering a robust production data pipeline has its own set of tough problems to solve. See what our experts have to say in these 15-minute webcasts.
1. Pulling in Data from Multiple Sources
The first step is consolidating data from sources all over the enterprise. The data machine learning models come from a wide variety of physical locations, technical platforms and storage formats. Watch 15-minute webcast
2. Cleansing Data at Scale
Once you've got data pulled in from multiple sources, you need to assess the mess. In nearly every data set, there will be flaws. Missing data, misspelled data, misfielded data, dozens of common problems that need to be repaired before the data is ready to use. Watch 15-minute webcast
3. Finding and Matching Duplicates at Scale
When you pull in data from different sources across the enterprise, chances are that you have information about the same person, company, product, or other entity in multiple records. To get a full view of the data regarding that entity, you must find all the records that relate and combine them. Watch 15-minute webcast
4. Tracking Data Lineage from the Source
Once you've found and matched duplicates to resolve entities, the next step is to track the lineage of data as it moves from source to final analysis – which is required by several regulations and by the need to verify the source of final decisions or recommendations. Watch 15-minute webcast
5. Streaming New Data as It Changes
Building on the process of finding and matching duplicates to resolve entities, the next step is to set up a continuous streaming flow of data from data sources so that as the sources change, new data automatically gets pushed through the same transformation and cleansing data flow – into the arms of machine learning models.

Momodou Alieu Bah, ex-deputy leader of the former ruling Alliance for Patriotic Reorientation and Construction (APRC), Monday September 10th tendered his resignation letter to the party executive.
The letter which he showed to this medium reads: "That after a thoughtful consideration and in close consultation with my family and close associates, I have finally decided to tender my resignation from the APRC Political party, effective this Monday, 10th September 2018.''
M A Bah wishes the party leader and APRC party militants, the best of luck. He apologized to all those who gave their time and supported him during his short-time in the party.
The Chairman and Party leader of APRC, Fabakary T. Jatta, was unreachable when this medium tried to get him to get his side of the story; that he was said to be attending a funeral in Lamin.
It could be recalled that the former Interior Minister was appointed as Interim Deputy party leader of APRC on 18 January 2018. He served the position for five months and was later relieved of his duties on 29 June 2018, but he maintained his membership. He was a former military officer who held the rank of Brigadier General.

So, we're having a lovely time in Bayeux, and will be very sorry to be leaving!
I have plenty of photos and information to post on my return, but as promised I thought I'd send through the projects I took with me… Mum is a first-rate quilter, sewer and has now taken up knitting as well (I'm sure it has nothing to do with me though!)
She made me this fabulous project bag which I use lots and lots – and have packed to capacity with bits and bobs from my stash that I thought I would like to use up…
Firstly some lovely Rowan Pure Wool Aran that I have been saving up – I have had many ideas of what I would like to use this for – a hat or scarf, I'm not sure I've made my mind up yet!
Next some Crofter DK – I wanted to try this out so only bought a skein of each… My plan when going on holiday was to make some prototypes, let's see what I have done with them when I get back home…
This Artesano Alpaca yarn I bought in Marbella, I have four skeins so that is plenty to make something yummy with – I so love to work with Alpaca, but this is much finer than I am used to!
Another Marbella purchase, some Filosofia Palma in the most beautiful colour schemes – perhaps some crochet jewellery or a set of rather stylish coasters… What will these become?
Finally some Sirdar Americana – I made a lovely shawl with this cotton, but they only had one skein left in this colourway so I bought it on impulse. What will the plans for this be?
What fabulous creations can you make with one skein?
Happy crafting!

After decades of singing Bach's music and lecturing about Bach and his life in the early 1700s, David Gordon has compiled this personal assortment of historical anecdotes, scholarly explanations, vintage illustrations, time lines, bits of pathos, gritty vignettes of everyday life, and colorful glimpses of Bach and the world around him.
It's a 150-page collection of vignettes of Bach's life as a salaried professional musician within the broad context of middle-class daily life in Germany in the early 1700s.
During the three decades Bach lived in Leipzig, what did the city's residents eat, drink, and wear, how did they bathe and cook? What fuels heated and illuminated their homes? How many weekly church services were there in Leipzig in 1727, and how many taverns?
The Little Bach Book is a richly-illustrated down-to-earth look at Bach's life and times. It does not discuss or analyze his music, and no knowledge of music is needed to enjoy all the contents. For the newcomer to Bach, for the experienced Bach aficionado, and for the general history buff, this book is meant to be entertaining, moving, and surprising.

Described by the Washington Post as "a model of style and charm, and an irresistible performer," tenor David Gordon has forged a international classical music career as singer, author, lecturer, teacher, and recording artist.
David is particularly known for his vivid performances of the music of J. S. Bach on recordings and in hundreds of concerts throughout North America, Europe, and Japan. The Chicago Tribune described him as "one of the world's great Bach tenors" and the St. Louis Post-Dispatch called him "one of the great interpreters of the Evangelist of our time." For more than three decades he served as performer, lecturer, Dramaturge and member of the Artistic Leadership of the Carmel Bach Festival in California.
In a wide range of other repertoire David has appeared as tenor soloist with virtually every major North American symphony and opera company, and with prestigious orchestras, operas, and music festivals on four continents. He can be heard on 15 CDs for Decca, London, RCA, Telarc, and other major labels.
David lives with his wife, Ginna Gordon, in historic Jacksonville, Oregon, where he is deeply involved in 19th-century living history projects.

A guest blog post for you today – as couples focus on saving money, the wedding industry will be there to help! Wedding budgets have fallen by £6k in 6 years… and guest blogger Tom's article explains why, and how, and what it means. He had me gripped with this one… and I know you'll like reading it. Oh! And the presentation is the coolest thing ever to play with… click Play, and Enjoy! Claire x
In 2013, the cost of a wedding is set to fall. Again. Whereas in 2007, the average cost of a wedding was around the £22,000 mark, 2013 will see wedding spend dip down towards the £16,000 mark.
What's fascinating about this is that the economic downturn has really focused the happy couples' minds on driving down the overall cost of the wedding, and it's really focused the wedding industry on providing added value in a turbulent economic period. The trend is not necessarily towards less lavish weddings – the trend is towards getting the best price for every single item on the list.

Anthem by Gareth Andrews
"ANTHEM" by Gareth Andrews

"Songs of the Sea took many voices, some of them in languages that no man has yet spoken or understood. "Anthem" is one thin strain of an old, often repeated story of singers, whose voices mixed but never blended. It is a song of praise to all who sang, the whales as well as the men who went to meet them."- Gareth Andrews

Game Changer: Sandro Wagner, decisive for Darmstadt
When Germany won the U-21 European Championship in 2009, Sandro Wagner scored his side's third and fourth goals in a 4-0 victory over England in the final.
His team-mates that day included Manuel Neuer, Jerome Boateng, Benedikt Höwedes, Mats Hummels, Sami Khedira and Mesut Özil, all of whom went on to win the FIFA World Cup with the senior side in Brazil in 2014.
Wagner's career path followed a rather different trajectory to those of his former colleagues in the subsequent years, and despite being widely recognised as a hugely talented striker he was unable to establish himself at SV Werder Bremen, 1. FC Kaiserslautern or Hertha Berlin.
Now, however, the 28-year-old is finally making his mark on the Bundesliga. With 13 league goals and four assists so far this term, the 6'3" forward is spearheading SV Darmstadt 98's pursuit of top-flight football again next season.

Review: Question time for space and star fiends
1000 Astronomy and Space Quiz by Dilip M. Salwi, Rupa*, pp 164, Rs 40
Art is important in comprehending space because the photographs can't
duplicate the colours, the texture of being there – name the astronaut who
said this. Or perhaps you will get further with 'Which star cluster is more
renowned as the Seven Sisters?' assisted by a choice of four answers.
Everyone loves a quiz, and this small volume of 1000 questions is the
latest in a series by leading Indian science writer Dilip Salwi.
As well as obvious questions about planets, stars, galaxies and space
missions, Salwi injects a selection of perplexing photographs and references
to literature. Who, for example, wrote the Astronomers' Drinking Song?
A few pages deal with India's own laudable achievements in astronomy
and space, but Salwi's choices are remarkably balanced and international.
It would be good to see this delightful little book published more widely.
And, yes, I know I can't finish with those tantalising questions hanging
in the air, so: Alan Bean was the space artist, the Seven Sisters is the
alias for the Pleiades and Augustus de Morgan celebrated astronomy in a
bucolic manner.
*Rupa, 15 Bankim Chatterjee Street, Calcutta 700 073, India. Others

How storytelling and content marketing are important for any business:
Every business has a story. Learn how to tell it so you can bring in more customers. … When done well, business storytelling gives a compelling reason for consumers to buy from you. A good brand can inspire trust between your business and customers, employees and suppliers.
A brand story is a detailed extract that will include the facts and feelings that are created by company brand (or busines). Unlike traditional advertising which is mostly displaying and showcasing about the brand but a story must inspire an emotional reaction.
Humans are emotional creatures. My impression is that storytelling allows us to digest information more easily because it connects that information to emotions. … Storytelling is important because it is effective at teaching in a way that people can easily remember, and at helping people relate to one another.
If you haven't figured out how to tell your brand's story well, you're missing out on the huge revenue-boosting potential of your content marketing efforts. The right brand narrative has the power to increase the value of your business's product or service by over 20 times.
As we all know that design and infographics are important to your content marketing stories, we cannot leave out the importance of words used in the content and these right words used may make people decide if they like you, if you understand their needs, and if they want to do business with you. So we now know that a certain company's Brand storytelling can't be done with visuals alone.
While great design might lure someone in, it's not enough to sustain a real relationship. People communicate through a bilateral conversation leading to imagination and words are essential to this dialogue.
Imagine if you were planning a wine tasting trip in Southern and you found beautiful pictures of vineyards but no descriptions of the types of wines they offer, or the notes or history of the grapes? What if you were searching for a new camera and just found visuals of cameras, with no information on features, and no product reviews? Words matter, and brands that tell their stories — not just show them — win.

Condition based maintenance operation of wind turbines
Publication Details
Zhang, T., Dwight, R. & El-Akruti, K. (2015). Condition based maintenance operation of wind turbines. In P. W. Tse, J. Mathew, K. Wong, R. Lam & C. N. Ko (Eds.), Proceedings of the 8th World Congress on Engineering Asset Management (WCEAM 2013) & the 3rd International Conference on Utility Management & Safety (ICUMAS) (pp. 1013-1025). Switzerland: Springer International Publishing.
Additional Publication Information
With application of advanced sensing technology, the condition based maintenance and operation has been made possible to many industrial systems. In a wind turbine, there are a few hundreds of sensing signals used to monitor the component performance and operational condition. The condition information is utilized in operational control of wind turbines and the wind farm in order to reduce the down time and Cost of Energy (CoE). In this chapter, a framework of condition based maintenance and operation of wind turbines is presented. This framework starts with data collection of sensing signals through SCADA and includes data processing and modeling, failure pattern recognition, remaining useful life/health condition prediction, load prediction (prediction of wind trend), integrated decision making for maintenance and operation of wind turbines and the wind farm, and maintenance planning. The research challenges involved in each step of the framework are discussed. The framework presented in this chapter serves as a guideline which is also useful to other systems.

There are some things even garbage collectors won't touch, but it's a dirty job, and someone's got to do it. That someone happens to be Brian Scudamore, founder of the Vancouver, British Columbia-based junk removal company 1-800-Got-Junk?
Inspiration struck Scudamore at a McDonald's drive-thru in 1989 when he glanced at a dirty hauling truck in front of him. "I was looking for something fun to do and to make money for college," says Scudamore. "I said, 'Cool, I can do that!' " Scudamore bought a used pick-up truck for $700 and started hauling. Soon, his business expanded, and, in 1998, it became a franchise under the new moniker 1-800-Got-Junk?
With 31 franchised locations, the company has hauled more than 30,000 truckloads of ceramic Buddhas, escargot shells and plenty of other odds and ends to dumps or recycling depots. Until the company reaches its goal of 75 franchisees in 118 territories in North America by 2003, Scudamore is reluctant to assert its position as an industry bigwig: "Once we've hit our goal, we can say, 'Hey, we've done it.'

For the case where boundaries might transversally intersect, a reasonable tactic is to iterate over vertices of p2 to see which lie in p1, and vice versa. Then look at neighbors of such points (that are not themselves inside one and bounding the other) to find intersecting segments. This will allow to recast as one polygon. Reasonably efficient code for doing the inside/ outside tests can be found in the MathGroup archives: http://forums.wolfram.com/mathgroup/archive/2009/Feb/msg00519.html For the case of internal boundaries, you can look for segments that get repeated. This should usually work, unless you have, say, Ohio and Kentucky both claiming a river right up to the land boundary on the other state's side (in that case, instead of looking for segments you might look for militias. Actually you can treat this as the transversal intersection case.) A related issue is when you try to merge polygons that have common boundaries, but vertices disagree due to small numeric error. In such cases it is useful to do comparisons at precision lower than that used in specifying the boundary vertices. Daniel Lichtblau Wolfram Research

Here you will find blessings for home rituals during the Rosh HaShanah holiday. Lighting candles, offering thanks for sweetness and sustenance, and celebrating the cycle of life we travel each year while around a table with family and friends can add richness to your Holy Day observance.

There is not a more sobering time to remind us of the marks we've missed over the past year than the High Holidays. We spend these days facing our transgressions and determining how to do better, how to be better, and how to strive toward a place of godliness; of being God-adjacent
A round challah is one of many ways that we make regular foods extra special in celebration of the New Year. This year, kick your challah-making game up a notch with a host of recipes to choose from based on just how you like your challah and step-by-step instructions on how to shape them.

There are lots of reasons to come to High Holiday Day services. For some people, Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur are the days when they make their strongest annual act of identification with Judaism, with their congregation, and with the Jewish people. Attending these services is an act of identity
Several customs during the month of Elul are designed to remind us of the liturgical season and help us prepare ourselves and our souls for the upcoming High Holidays.
Rabbi Leora Kaye, Director of Program for the Union for Reform Judaism, explains the ritual of blowing the shofar.
As Jews throughout the world prepare to gather for the High Holidays, Reform Jewish communities want to ensure that everyone who enters our synagogues – at this season and throughout the year – has a meaningful, fulfilling worship experience.
Dina and her family move to a new city right before Rosh HaShanah. The move brings about a set of problems. When the family goes to the local synagogue to celebrate Rosh HaShanah, Dina doesn't recognize anyonet. However, the family then receives help from an unexpected source!

Honey cake is traditionally eaten for Rosh HaShanah, the Jewish New Year—the honey's sweetness symbolizes our wishes for a sweet year. This is my mother's recipe, which she makes in Israel, freezes, and sends to me in the mail.
Sally's daughter Rita writes, "My late mother, Sally Rosenkranz, who was from Radom, Poland, lost her mother in the Holocaust."
Entertain your Rosh HaShanah guests while enjoying the traditional holiday nosh of apples, honey, and pomegranate seeds in a new way.
For a fun Rosh HaShanah treat, try these jello shots with, vodka, honey-flavored whiskey, or without alcohol. You can make the cute apple wedges as described below, or simply in small plastic shot cups, garnished with a slice of apple and pomegranate seeds.
This ricotta cheese-filled honey pie is perfect to serve on both Shavuot and Rosh HaShanah. But most of all, it is a reminder of the Jewish community in Greece. Enjoy!
Family and guests will ooh and aah over this beautiful Rosh HaShanah challah, which tastes as good as it looks!
We eat honey and other sweet foods on Rosh HaShanah to usher in a sweet New Year.
The kreplach represent our fate being "sealed" for the coming year.
One summer, I went to the store and no honey cakes could be found. What to do? I combined a standard gingerbread cake mix with some main ingredients in honey cake - coffee and honey - and an easy, quick honey cake was born!
This recipe should be in every home's repertoire. It doesn't get fresher than this, and it is so easy to make, especially if you have a food mill.
It doesn't get much easier than this, and, if you have sealed your heavy duty foil tightly, your pan won't get dirty and can go right back into the cabinet after cooking!
Orange roast beef to enjoy with your friends and family on Rosh HaShanah, Shabbat, or Pesach!
Minneapolis-style brisket you and your family can enjoy for Rosh HaShanah, Passover, or Shabbat!
Try the best brisket recipe ever!
"This is delicious, but I never tell anyone what's in it: beer and ketchup."
My mother's lokshen kugel is probably the best thing she made for us every year on Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur. It took some trial and error to successfully make it vegan, but here it is! This recipe makes a big, casserole-dish-sized kugel.
To celebrate a sweet Rosh HaShanah, here is a great option for a soy-free noodle kugel.
Round challah symbolizes the cycle of the year and are traditional for Rosh HaShanah; challot are traditionally braided for Shabbat. Either way, the key to delicious challah is kneading the dough.

Thanksgiving day at the Walt Disney World Swan & Dolphin
I've talked about our room at the Walt Disney World Swan Hotel, but there is a lot more to explore at the Swan and Dolphin. On Thanksgiving day we did a quick workout, swam, and had dinner at Todd English's bluezoo.
Near the front desk at the Swan is a daily recreational activities sign (like this one) that lists all of the events happening not only there, but also next door at the Dolphin. One that caught my attention was a spin class using those fancy Peloton exercise bikes that have a screen attached for streaming online spin classes. My Planet Fitness doesn't have these bikes so I wanted to check them out in person. Gary was surprisingly onboard!
We headed to the gym, located in a separate building near the pool area.
And the ONE Pelton exercise bike among regular exercise bikes. Luckily no one was on it.
The wifi was so horrendous that the live spin class wouldn't play. We switched between the Peleton and the regular exercise bike that had a TV attached where we watched part of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade instead. Oh well. We still got a little bit of a workout in!
Afterward we looked around the pool bar area and made a video!
We then went back up to our room to change into swimsuits and head to the pool. The quiet pool was a ghost town, but we went to the feature pool with the waterfall.
Gary went down the slide.
We also hit the hot tub, but apparently I was too relaxed to have remembered to take a photo unfortunately.
As if this wasn't already the greatest Thanksgiving day I ever had, we walked to Epcot for a few hours. (You cannot beat the location of the Swan and Dolphin for Epcot and Disney's Hollywood Studios. I absolutely love being able to walk to two parks.)
On the way back we both did this photo op.
We decided to get dressed up to have Thanksgiving dinner at bluezoo, located in the Dolphin Hotel.
My favorite part is this beautiful chandelier in the newly renovated lobby.
The restaurant was fairly empty when we arrived for our 5:30 reservation, but it started to fill up while we were there.
They had a special Thanksgiving menu but neither of us ordered from it.
We picked a side order of french fries as an appetizer.
Gary ordered the 'Honey Brined Chicken" as his meal. Sweet potato puree, savoy cabbage, pearl onions, iberico ham, and pommery mustand jus.
He also got a side of lobster mac & cheese.
I ordered off-menu, of course. The waiter recommended an Asian tofu dish and I can never pass up tofu. It came with rice (hidden under that pile of green there.)
The verdict? Gary just thought his food was okay. I enjoyed mine, but I thought it was a little salty. It was pleasant enough, but it's not a place that we would make a point of returning anytime soon. I enjoyed my meal at Spice Road Table a lot more.
After our meal we walked back to Epcot for our fast pass at Frozen Ever After, and then stayed to watch the special holiday version of Illuminations.
Did I mention it was the best Thanksgiving ever?

Restaurant: Harold's New York Deli
Date: October 4, 2015
Location: 1173 King George's Post Road, Edison, NJ
Harold's Deli is one of those places famous for its super-sized portions. They have been on Man vs. Food, and a mere scanning of the dining room as you walk to your table will give you an idea of what you are in for. Sandwiches are piled high with exorbitant amounts of meat. Slices of cake are a foot tall, can feed a family of four, and still provide leftovers. The other massive thing you will find at Harrold's? The prices. Yes, if you price out meal items accordingly based on how many people you have at your table, it ends up not being as bad. However, I challenge you to not let your jaw drop when you first open the menu, and see deli meat sandwiches approaching $30, and a roast beef dinner for $80. Slices of cake were also around $20. Again, if you have a table of three or four and are interested in sharing (recommended), I suppose that will lessen the shock.

Somebody stop Revolution sign now
This petition is to request for 'Revolution', owner of the now-dead revolutiongamers.tk to give Vengeance and Gamesgamesgames.co.uk credit for the game engines that I wrote for him.
So far, he has only credited me for one thing - 'help' on a certain 'Fish' game.
He has not given me credit for the work I did which stayed on through to the sequel, Fish 2, nor has he given me credit for the engine on 'Fish 3', which he claims he wrote entirely from scratch (yet at the same time his face goes blank when I ask him how to increment a variable). I don't believe him when he says he made Fish 3 all by himself, since:
1.) There would be no point in remaking a perfectly good engine.
2.) He doesn't actually know how to increase or decrease the value of something - this means he _couldn't_ have made it. It's not possible.
3.) He's too lazy to spend that much time scripting.
I even wrote an entire engine for him to reskin, which I believe he has renamed to 'Space comets'. He did not so much as mention my name on it.
Since he has not given me credit for doing the scripting on any of those games (except Fish, in which - like I said - he merely said 'help from' instead of pointing out that I did ALL the coding), and he also refuses to do so, it could be portrayed as stealing.
Revolution has made a petition to say that my brother's website is bad. He has also refused to agree to our terms and conditions for giving me credit for those games. Here's one of his replies:
"Well you have two options i cannot be bothered to change everything so you either pick a place on the site or that is it if you think i am spending all day just updating those games then sorry but i must dissapoint you. Oh and by the way i made fish 3 by myself"
We specifically requested for me to be given credit inside the actual games, and he's too lazy to update 4 lousy swf files (it would've been 5, but I gave up arguing about the shooting game he has. Seriously, I'd get my name in it if I could. You wouldn't believe this, but I actually had to spend a day at his house, battling a broken keyboard and a tiny resolution to show him how to make that).
Not only has he not given me credit for my own work, and not only has he insulted me, my website, my brother and his website - he has also gotten a band of people to moan for him, too. That, I thought, was the last straw: http://www.freewebs.com/revolutionpetition/
Now, I'm a reasonable man. All I ask for is that he take down his 'petition' and give me credit for those games, should he choose to put his site back on the website.
By 'those' games, I am, of course, referring to: Fish, Fish 2, Fish 3, and Space comets.
Anyone who agrees with me should say so here, and I will show him all the people who care.

I think you underestimate the conservative hard right. They'll support war with their dying breath and blame any ill-effects elsewhere."A bit surprised, but interested, I replied:
That is not something I would expect many people who read Dredd Blog to conclude.(ibid). The interesting part (for today's post anyway) is that I had studied Mithras along with its meme-complex (Mithraism) some time back, so since the commenter disaffected had made a good point about the right wing political faction's way of thinking, I could not avoid the link in my mind to Mithraism.
"Underestimate" is a meaningless word in this context.
I really do give them full "credit" for their madness almost everyday in almost every post.
Diagnosing a disease is not a matter of degree that has to do with overestimating or underestimating, it is a matter of simple recognition.
Recently I gave them full credit for having the ideology that is bringing on the extinction of the human species.
I also pointed out that they glory in the inglorious addiction to war and oil as pointed out in recent Dredd Blog posts.
In the excitement of commenting I goofed up and wrote way too much, which generated a "error more than 4096 characters" in my message. When I tried to break it up into segments, I goofed even more from there, eventually having to remove my scribblings because some of them were duplicate sections mixed together out of order.
But the beat goes on, so back to the story.
People like to compare empires to other and older empires of history.
For example, some writers have been comparing the declining empire of the United States to the Roman Empire of old.
Mithraism was a well known religion of the Roman Empire, just prior to its final demise:
Mithraism ... was a mystery religion centered on the god Mithras, [which] became popular among the military in the Roman Empire, from the 1st to 4th centuries AD.(Wikipedia, emphasis added). There is general agreement about that part of the history, the fact of Mithraism being a religion of soldiers and their commanders.
Then another commenter, on the Dredd Blog post we were talking about, went on to comment:
There is lots of debate on the origins of Mithraism, but as far as it went in the Roman Empire, where some scholars believe it originated (others do not) it clearly is a militaristic religion:(quoting David Fingrut, emphasis added). Remember recently that in Afghanistan U.S. soldiers were killing Muslims with rifles with Christian New Testament verses on their gun sights?
"Upon enlistment, the first act of a Roman soldier was to pledge obedience and devotion to the emperor. Absolute loyalty to authority and to fellow soldiers was the cardinal virtue, and the Mithraic religion became the ultimate vehicle for this fraternal obedience. The Mithras worshippers compared the practice of their religion to their military service."
This version of "Christianity" practiced by U.S. military religionists is far more like Roman Mithraism than was the religion the Christians were thrown to the lion's dens of Rome for practicing.
The religion which Emperor Constantine made the state religion of the Roman Empire, circa 300 AD, was called "Christianity", but it was Mithraism more than anything else.
We should not underestimate the right wing Mithras religion of the imperialists in the U.S. government military, because they are fanatics like those who brought down the Roman Empire, as blogger disaffected pointed out.
Their Roman era thinking was centered around "control", naturally, because they saw the empire's "things" getting out of control (meaning out of their control), as do their modern counterparts in our midst.
Today, in that sense, really is like the times were when the Roman Empire was going down.
Many people were pointing out just that, as imperialism, along with the military's Mithras ideology, was becoming the political status quo.
The Mithras worshipers demand loyalty, unquestioned obedience to authority, and have a fanatical zeal.
The ultimate incarnation of their foundational world view is well represented in the control statements "the king can do no wrong" and "the Pope is infallible".
The problem is that they do not know what they are talking about, and like their ancestors did to the Roman Empire, they will do to the U.S. empire what was done to Rome.
We have a clear record over the past presidency of the High Priest of Mithras himself, Bush II, as an example of the devastation their ideology brings to us.
The next post in this series is here.

Em & Lo have a very cute article up on SUNfiltered today covering all of the fantastic things our mothers taught us about sex (in honor of Mother's Day, of course). What's that you say? Your mom didn't teach you anything about sex? Em & Lo beg to differ - they've made a list of some basic, common courtesies and ideas that when applied to the bedroom are just good ideas.
- Always wear clean underwear.
- Trim your fingernails and wash your hands thoroughly and often. (It?ll help you avoid infection and make you less likely to tear delicate internal linings during manual sex.)
- Ladies first.

Here's a question to consider, now that 90% of North Americans own a cell phone: How often do you use your cell phone to actually call someone? According to the New York Times, person-to-person voice calls now account for less than half of all traffic on mobile networks.
If this trend continues, experts say phone companies may stop charging you for "talk time" for the first time in history, as they switch to a system that bills you for the amount of data you use instead. The reality is that today's cell phone users do everything on their phones but talk. Modern "smart phones" make it possible to browse the Web, listen to music, play games or send emails.
We're also sending more text messages than ever before. In fact, new statistics show that the number of text messages sent per phone is up 50% this year, while the average length of a local phone call has dropped to less than two minutes. As you might guess, most of those text messages are being sent by teenagers, who average 1,500 texts per month!
However, experts say text messages have also become the preferred method of communication for serious business executives. That's because it's easier to swap a bunch of short messages with clients, than it is to interrupt their day with a phone call. Texting also makes it easier to keep in touch with several people at once.
This doesn't mean voice calls are going away for good. Surveys show that most people prefer picking up the phone to talk about sensitive matters - like family or health - which may not be appropriate to broadcast in a text message or tweet. What you can expect from this trend is to see future cell phones designed to be less, "cheek-friendly." In other words: They'll have larger screens and keyboards, which will make it easier to surf the Web and send messages, but harder to make actual phone calls.

A lot of these "Pessimistic Texts" were written later on, especially in the Middle Kingdom, to lament over the many troubles of the First Intermediate Period. From that point on many such texts were copied and recopied by scribal students. I'm pretty sure you're familiar with the website from which I took the above example. Here is the index to the texts they have translated, and as you scroll down I would pay particular attention to the section entitled "Teachings, instructions, 'wisdom' literature" for other examples of the type of texts you want.

Matcherino Announces $2.7 Million Series A-1 Financing to Accelerate Esports Tournament Growth and Facilitate Esports Engagement for Major Global Brands
Matcherino, the leading online platform that powers the business of esports by enabling game publishers and tournament organizers to seamlessly manage esports events, and provide global brands with the unique ability to reach and engage with valuable esports audiences, today announced that it has closed a $2.7 million investment round. The financing was led by Seven Peaks Ventures. New investor aXiomatic Gaming also joined this round, and existing investors Madrona Venture Group and Vulcan Capital also participated in the financing.
This investment will fuel the ongoing expansion of the go-to-market and platform development teams, in order to support the global ecosystem of game publishers, tournament organizers and global brands that want to engage with massively expanding esports audiences. Specifically, the capital will enable Matcherino to further develop expanded prize pool management, custom game content commerce and programmatic sponsorship campaign delivery and measurement tools.
Leo Hsu, Director, Strategy at aXiomatic said "aXiomatic's esports investment strategy targets dynamic companies across the esports ecosystem with potential to enrich player experience or deepen audience engagement. Matcherino's unique platform ticks both boxes: bringing fan-backed tournaments to life while providing an authentic channel for publishers and sponsors to interact with consumers."
Goldman Sachs projects that the esports industry will grow to become a $3 billion dollar industry by 2022, and monthly viewership of esports events will exceed 300 million.

A. A dental implant is a permanent artificial tooth replacement.
A. When getting a dental implant, you should select a dentist or dental team with in-depth knowledge and prior experience with all aspects of the treatment. It is important to know that dental implant treatment consists of two components: a surgical phase and a restorative phase.
Traditionally, a dental surgeon, like an oral surgeon or a periodontist, performs the dental implant surgery. A general dentist, or prosthodontist and laboratory technician perform the restorative component. However, as implant dentistry has become more sophisticated, sometimes a dentist who specializes in restorative dentistry conducts the entire procedure.
A. The technology has been around for decades. In fact, some patients have had dental implants for more than 40 years. Hundreds of thousands of dental implants have been inserted with more than a 90% success rate. All other metal implants in the body (including hips and knees) are the result of the dental implant technology.
A. Yes, several types are available. The American Dental Association considers both the endosteal and the subperiosteal implants to be acceptable. An important factor for selection is to determine whether your jawbone can adequately support the implant. Most dental implants placed today are endosteal root form fixtures (similar to a man-made tooth root).
A. In the case of a single missing tooth, dental implant surgery is used to place a dental implant in the jawbone area of the missing tooth. The dental implant will serve as a replacement for a tooth root and an individual crown. The total apparatus is referred to as a single-tooth implant crown. Once in place, the dental implant crown will look, feel, and function like a natural tooth. They are cleaned and flossed just like natural teeth, and best of all, they do not require any special tools to clean around them like bridges. Although a dental implant will not decay, they require impeccable oral hygiene.
In implant dentistry, devices are used to replace missing teeth. They are made of titanium, an inert metal that bonds with the bone, forming a very tight union called osseointegration. The modern system of dental implants, the endosseous system, is extremely successful and has a 90% to 95% success rate.
The dental implant itself replaces the root of the tooth. It is usually in the shape of a screw or a cylinder. The implant connects to a component (the abutment) that joins the implant to the replacement tooth (the crown).
Dental implants are ideal replacements for teeth. When healthy teeth have to be prepared for crowns or bridges, healthy tooth structure needs to be removed. But if only one tooth is missing, the dental implant can simply replace it without having to sacrifice the adjacent teeth.
Dental implants can also be used to replace many missing teeth. Multiple teeth can be replaced with implant dentistry and can avoid the need for a removable denture. Removable dentures can be hard to get used to. They may have clasps that can be unsightly and put additional stress on the existing teeth. Full dentures may be difficult to wear and may interfere with eating and speaking. People who wear dentures for a long time may have additional loss of the bone that supports the denture. This bone loss can be accelerated by osteoporosis, and eventually dentures may be very difficult to wear if not impossible. Poor-fitting dentures can interfere with proper nutrition and quality of life.
Generally, one implant is needed to replace each missing tooth. In some situations, several implants need to be joined together into a bridge. This adds greater strength to the implant restoration. If there is not enough bone available to replace a whole set of teeth, implants may be used as anchors for dentures. When dentures are supported by implants they can be much more stable and the implants help prevent the deterioration of the bone that supports the denture.
The endosseous system of implant dentistry has been used for over 30 years. They can look and feel like natural teeth, adding comfort and improving the smile of people of all ages.

Mae F.
Lakewood Family YMCA
In January of 2014, Mae went to the hospital for a CT scan. At the time, she was struggling with Large B-cell Lymphoma, an aggressive blood cancer. She had endured two and a half years of chemotherapy, and was coping with a range of side effects from the treatment, including seizures. The seizures were so severe that she had to be hospitalized whenever she underwent chemo. ?I had a seizure so bad that I died and they had to resuscitate me,? Mae says.
Mae was worried about what the CT scan would reveal. She was pleasantly surprised when the doctor came back to tell her that all of her tumors were gone. She was in remission, but the cancer treatment left her weak and unable to raise her arms above her head. So, she went to the Lakewood Family YMCA and started to take Senior Strength. Two years later, her strength and range of motion has significantly improved. Her cancer has not returned. ?My doctor is excited that I?m at the Y,? Mae says. ?He credits it with keeping me in remission. I thank God.?

When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. Then he placed his right hand on me and said: "Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last. ( Rev. 1:17)
This was the response of John the Apostle (the one that Our Lord loved the most) when he saw the voice that was speaking to Him. John had spent three years in close proximity with Our Lord yet when He met him after describing his eyes, his hair, his voice and his overall look, John fell to his feet in amazement and worship. It struck me the purity of his worship that was not overshadowed by his familiarity and previous proximity with Jesus. This stood out because every day despite our walk with Jesus, we get to experience Him anew again and again often in a refreshing way that deepens my faith and relationship with Him and that is how our daily walk is enriched.
All the believers were together and had everything in common. They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. (Acts 2: 45 – 46)
Anytime I have heard this verse quoted, it has often had to do with some cult of a church that is asking it's members to get rid of all their wealth and give the proceedings to the church in light with the early Believers. Yesterday in Church, the Preacher talked of the fact that the intention is rather for those that have plenty or abundance to rather give (meaningfully) to the poor around them. As a Church, we have to meet the needs of those around us otherwise we cannot proclaim ourselves to be Christian.
Be encouraged and strengthened.

The holiday season is here again bringing music and laughter... but this festive season can also bring a lot of stress. There are a million places to go, things to do, parties to attend and in between all that you have to shop.
What should you get that special lady or man in your life? To make your life easier for you, we have some suggestions for you and we've covered several price points. All the way from $100 to high-end gifts $2,500.
(If you like any of the gifts here for yourself, feel free to share this with your partner as a "not-so-subtle hint".)
Let's start with the gifts for the ladies.
Gentlemen, what is the perfect gift to keep your lady happy?
A Victoria Secret sleep shirt makes a nice gift at an affordable price. They are warm and comfy and come in a wide selection of colours. Another option is a bottle of Jadore perfume. You can't go wrong with a nice perfume and she'll think of you whenever she puts it on.
If you want to spend a little more you can find a lovely Mitch & Mark jewellery box for this amount. Look for one that keeps necklaces untangled and has a place specifically for earrings and rings. This will help her keep everything in order and easily accessible.
Give a beautiful contemporary designer jade jewellery by Singapore's only Jade designer, Choo Yilin. Or if your lady enjoys taking care of her skin with quality products, you can surprise her with a special spa pamper session at Porcelain, The Face Spa.
Some things are timeless and a set of Chanel Earrings will never go out of style. They can be worn with many types of outfits but especially when your lady is dressing up for a night out.
If you want to go all out, you can go through the hassle of booking a surprise overseas romantic getaway! Or maybe... you should consider a Yves Saint Laurent clutch bag. Your lady will immediately know the value of this item. She can use it for years and it will retain its beauty. The perfect gift to please your princess.
Now, what about for the guys?
If your man wears a suit often, he is probably always in need of a new tie. Find something classic that'll always make him look amazing regardless of the fashion trend. A nice cologne is also a good option. So you know your man always smells nice.
Does your guy enjoy wearing fancy watches? Then buy him a nice watch box so he can store that watch in the style it deserves. No more leaving it lying around on the dresser to get knocked off or misplaced.
If you want to spend a little more, a Hermes tie is a good choice. If he knows quality, he'll love wearing this elegant accessory.
Or maybe he's a gamer. Then look no further than a new Xbox or Playstation 4. You can't go wrong if he enjoys the challenge of saving the universe or wiping out an invasion of zombies.
When it's time to pay the bill, your guy will be thrilled to pull out his Louis Vuitton Wallet. Nothing says class like a quality leather wallet and Louis Vuitton are known for producing the best.
Or maybe a pair of Bally designer shoes is what your guy needs? These shoes not only look great but they'll fit his feet like gloves providing comfort and a classy appearance. They come in both casual and dressy styles.
If you and your man attend a lot of formal functions, it may be time for him to own his own tuxedo. A rental never fits or looks as good as a tuxedo that's tailored to its owner. Common Suits has a wide variety of dress attire for men. And your man will look like a sexy beast.
Any of these options will make the significant other happy. Remember; don't wait until the last minute to make your purchase since quality items will sell out quickly during the holiday season.
Happy holidays. 🙂
P.S. Ladies, if your boyfriend always forget to buy you presents or need better gift suggestions, just share this article to him. 😉

The Benifjui Knife Series is an elegant but durable Japanese knife.
Experience the "Full Tang" with superior robustness and prevents your hand from fatigue under prolonged use.
The Pakkawood handles provide a comfortable fit and durability. Each handle is made from compressed and laminated Pakkawood with anelegant look and trusted durability. The handles are water resistant but still utilize the nature of wood.
Each blade is constructed from 8A Stainless Steel and experiences a 3 Chamfering Process which reduces the friction against food and the blade. The blade is treated with a special chamfering process.
The edge on the blade after manufacturing is finished with a special grinding process which results in a smoother blade, thus giving the blade a superior cutting edge and requiring less force or power for cutting as the blade has an extremely sharp cutting edge.
All Shun knives purchased through House of Knives come with lifetime manufacturer warranty and 90-day hassle-free returns.
Optional: pay in 4 interest-free fortnightly installments with AfterPay (valid for total cart amounts $80-$1500)
"From the first day I received my classic kitchen knife, it was an utter joy to work with. I had used chef quality knives before, in kitchens, but never at home.
So for an extravagant birthday present I got my family to buy me this, and I have never been happier. That knife became my all time favourite kitchen tool. I would find excuses to use it.
Within a week I discovered all I had to do was rest it on a tomato and it would glide through itself. After watching the videos by Chef Alton Brown I felt I was much better equipped to use and care for my incredible knife.
I eventually bought a honing steel too, after a friend was a little too rough with it. I no longer have my knife, it was collateral to a break up and I miss it every single meal. Love your knives people! Take care of them and you will have a lifetime of service and joy from them!"
Incredibly sharp edges and unmatched aesthetics set Shun knives apart from every other kitchen knife on the market today.
In the great tradition of Seki City, Japan's sword and knifemaking center, every knife is handmade by highly skilled specialists and requires at least 100 handcrafted steps to complete.
Every day, the legacy of ancient sword smiths serves as inspiration to the artisans in the Kai factories. Kai's 100-year-old tradition of blade-making excellence, combined with the newest technology and the most advanced materials, makes every Shun knife a functional work of art.
Shun recommends that you protect your investment by handwashing your blades with gentle dish soap.
Don't use soaps with citrus extracts or bleach; they can promote corrosion. Do not use scouring pads, steel, or gritty cleanser when cleaning the blades. Rinse and towel dry immediately.
Let the knives air dry for a few minutes before returning them to storage. Never leave your knife sitting in a sink full of soapy water. It does metals no good to be submerged in water for prolonged periods of time, and it's a danger to you when you reach in.
After you have washed and dried your knives, store them in a block, knife case, in-drawer tray, or sheath. We do not recommend storing the knives unsheathed in a drawer, as this can be a potential hazard to the blades as well as your fingers.
Handwashing is also the best way to care for the wood handles of your Shun knives.
The handle color may change slightly over time due to oils in the hand as well as the natural color change of wood from oxidation and/or exposure to light. This is not a defect, but a natural part of the process.
In order to maximize the life of the blade, regular honing with a Shun steel will be necessary. Weekly honing will extend the time between sharpening significantly. When the time comes to sharpen these premium blades, we recommend using a whetstone, the Kai electric sharpener (specifically designed to sharpen Shun's 16° blade angle), or sending the knives to a professional sharpener.

Life without lighting is not possible. The loss of lighting can be for a number of reasons; it could be the result of a power cut in the area which may result in darkness.

The Power to Rejoice: 21 Days to Victory Over Your Problems
Are problems stealing your joy?
Discover inspirational Bible verses and stories that are guaranteed to empower you to rejoice despite work, job loss, money, health and relationship problems.
Buy Now"This book is very helpful to anyone who finds themself at one of life's difficult moments. It provides great advice concerning how our thinking impacts how we feel and act. There are stories from others and biblical encouragement and study directions to help you get the most out of your reading. I recommend it for individuals and small groups, for personal guidance and to help others through the challenges of life with hope."
–Tim Siemens, Pastor to the Family and Staff, Grace Community Church
"Very Practical! This is a terrific piece of work. I recommend it to anyone facing difficult circumstances. I have known Vernon for more than 20 years. I have seen him rejoice despite losing his job, serving as the caregiver for his late wife, Gayle, and having her go to heaven."
―Mark Norman, Senior Pastor, Grace Community Church
"I've known Vernon for nearly 30 years. He lives out what he writes. This is a great manual for helping individuals or groups work through and rise above the struggles of life. Follow his guidance and learn to live above the circumstances, rather than under the circumstances."
–Brent Brooks, Senior Pastor, Reno Christian Fellowship
"The Power to Rejoice by Vernon L. Williams offers very sound biblical advice and compelling storytelling about work, physical health, emotional health, death, financial and family matters. I'm dealing with a ruptured Achilles this year so I started reading in the physical health section. There was a wonderful story about ex-major-league pitcher Dave Dravecky, who lost his arm to cancer. He also shared a story about a disabled man who became a pioneer in helping veterans who were disabled. Neither man lost his faith in God or his ability to rejoice despite his circumstances. The way Vernon has written this book, you can use it as a resource for the rest of your life. It's not the kind of book that you just read through quickly once and put it on the shelf forever. If you're going through any kind of challenge in life, I recommend that you get this book and keep it close. It will be a blessing to you and your entire family."
