The European Commission's oft-cited Eurobarometer poll – conducted twice a year and distributed widely as a reliable source on the thoughts and feelings of European citizens – blurs the lines between pro-EU propaganda and legitimate research, according to a new, independent study conducted by academics at the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies in Cologne, Germany.
The results of the survey travel far and wide, influencing the policies of governments the world over – including the British Parliament – as well as shaping newspaper copy and broadcast journalism, examples of which have appeared in the BBC, Financial Times, Politico, the Independent, Telegraph, New York Times, China's Xinhua news, and indeed the reports filter down to local papers and online outlets too.
But doubts have been cast over the study's methodology, with researchers noting: "The violations of the rules of good public opinion research concern incomprehensible, hypothetical, and knowledge-inadequate questions, unbalanced response options, insinuation and leading questions, context effects, and the strategic removal of questions that led to critical responses in previous Eurobarometer waves. It is highly unlikely that the violations happen unintentionally.
An early conclusion controversially suggests: "Eurobarometer therefore blurs the line between research and propaganda."
The surveys are conducted by TNS Opinion, an otherwise reputable polling company, and each poll interviews around 1,000 persons in each EU member state. This makes Eurobarometer one of the largest repeat polls in the world.
The study, indeed named: "How the Eurobarometer Blurs the Line between Research and Propaganda" was released this month with the aim of examining "whether the [European] Commission uses its monopoly on questioning and assessment to steer Eurobarometer results in a desired direction" and uses 10 key criteria for its assessment of Eurobarometer, including understandability, the nature of the questions, the knowledge it requires to answer, usage of terminology, insinuation, and leading questions, and more.
The report gives the example of a 2007 poll about Galileo, one of the EU's longest running projects – a satellite system set to challenge the dominance of the U.S.-managed Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) system. In the face of budget overruns and severe delays to the programme, the European proudly boasted that an "overwhelming majority" of Europeans demanded that Galileo was afforded more funding and completed. B
But due to methodological flaws, 60 per cent of the respondents who said they believed the EU should have its own system had never heard of Galileo in the first place, yet their responses were counted towards the eventual press release.
Max Planck Institute academics noted: "In our view, sham requests for non-existent knowledge occur repeatedly in Standard Eurobarometer questions".
Another example shows that confusingly, while national polls in member states often suggest that citizens want less EU action, Eurobarometer polls often claim they demand more. In 2008, the Economist reported that "[t]o some officials, supportive opinion polls offer a form of quasi-democratic mandate", which may explain why Eurocrats believe they are acting democratically when taking decisions above national parliaments and the European citizenry.
And Eurobarometer is known for its "leading questions", with one example being: "Some say the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, such as the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia, should become member states of the European Union. What is your opinion on this? Should they become members?"
Researchers point out that this could easily have been framed as "some warn against too much EU expansion" and yielded different results. They concluded: "Respondents are, in effect, being presented with a fait accompli, with a choice of only three different time schedules for eastward enlargement. Opposition to enlargement was registered only when respondents revealed it voluntarily and indeed a remarkable 50 percent did so (EB 1995); we can only speculate on the outcome had the respondents been presented with a methodologically clean question".
The report concludes: "What concerns us here is the fact that all the violations we found systematically steer responses in a pro-European, integration-friendly direction. In fact, we did not find a single example in which the violations steered responses inversely… This finding leaves the scientific integrity of the Eurobarometer surveys open to question."
Similar criticisms could be made of the Eurobarometer's findings on the current European migrant crisis,
It is not the first time the organisation has criticised Eurobarometer either, with a study from 2012 pointing out similar problems.
A study by Notre Europe, a think-tank founded by perhaps the most famous expansionist Eurocrat ever, Jacques Delors, even admitted: "The first people in charge of the Eurobarometer were all academics from the world of political science, close to intellectuals who were specialists in quantitative research in social science. It was only with the departure of Anna Melich in 1999 that these same positions became occupied by traditional "Eurocrats"."
As noted by writer Alexandra Swann in 2012, the Eurobarometer now even "suspends" questions that it finds inconvenient, while the Economist concluded: "The Frenchman who invented them called the polls a means of promoting integration, by showing Europeans in different nations where they agreed and disagreed".
It remains to be seen whether mainstream media organisations continue to use the Eurobarometer as a reliable information source.

Mini review: "Night Heron" by Adam Brookes (audiobook version)
This is the story, set in China, of a prisoner who escapes and wants to sell secrets to the British government, for whom he worked as a spy many years before. I wanted to like this book more but something just has not clicked. Nothing stood out as exceptional – the story is unremarkable, the characters are not bestowed with any real warmth.
I think it is partly to do with the audiobook narration – the actor Jason Isaacs does a professional job but it can become slightly monotonous. Several of the British characters sound similar. This has led me to lose track at some points of details, of which character said what.
Overall, I was disappointed.

Speaking at Unite the Union on 6 September 2017, Barry set out Labour's vision for a progressive trade policy to uphold labour rights and environmental standards.
Ladies and gentlemen,
I am delighted to be able to speak to you this evening on some of the social and environmental aspects of Labour's international trade policy. The Conservative government has announced that it will be publishing its Trade and Customs Bills this autumn, so this is quickly becoming a real debate as to our country's future as a trading nation. I'm very grateful for the invitation and to Unite for hosting us here tonight, and I am particularly honoured to have the opportunity of hearing first-hand from Señor López Obrador as to the situation facing the people of Mexico.
I am particularly interested in hearing about the current plans to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement between Mexico, Canada and the USA. NAFTA was the first treaty to introduce many of the elements that have become familiar to us in the 'new generation' trade agreements of today, and its renegotiation offers an interesting opportunity to assess what the agreement has brought in real terms to each of the three countries involved.
Labour believes in the power of international trade to bring economic benefits to businesses and working people alike. When properly designed, trade agreements can create a win-win outcome for all sides, enhancing prosperity and building new bonds of shared commercial interest between countries.
I launched the Just Trading initiative at last year's Labour Party conference for precisely this reason: to work together with global trading partners to develop the best possible trade and investment agreements that would remove trade barriers while promoting skilled jobs and high standards. It's why Labour's manifesto for this year's general election reaffirmed our commitment to minimising the tariff and non-tariff barriers that prevent us from enjoying the full benefits that trade and foreign investment can offer.
Yet at the same time, we are equally aware of what happens when free trade agreements are not designed properly. We examined closely the proposed texts of the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership between the EU and the USA (or TTIP) and also the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) negotiated between the EU and Canada. In both cases, we came to the conclusion that we could not support those trade agreements in the form they had been put before us.
One of the reasons that led us to that conclusion is that both treaties sought to include the principle of investor-state dispute settlement that first came to public consciousness through NAFTA Chapter XI and in the many suits brought against Mexico and Canada under that chapter over the past 20 years. Labour rejects the idea of granting multinational corporations their own judicial system through which to sue host governments for loss of profits, and it is interesting to see the Trump administration now proposing that NAFTA's investor-state tribunal system could be replaced by an opt-in version, from which the USA would most probably opt out. I wonder what Mexico's response to that option would be…
NAFTA is also important in that we now have two decades of data through which to study the effects of the agreement on jobs and other social outcomes. While there is disagreement over exactly how many hundreds of thousands of skilled jobs were lost in the USA as a result of the agreement, there is no such dispute over its impact on employment in Mexico.
We know that two million Mexican farmers lost their jobs and their livelihoods as a direct result of NAFTA, which forced open local markets while still allowing the USA to continue its use of massive agricultural subsidies to support its own exporters unfairly. The new jobs created in Mexico's maquiladora factories were characterised by very low pay and harsh working conditions, backed up by the threat that those jobs could always be relocated to China once it joined the WTO (as many indeed were). It is astonishing to learn that by the year 2000, the real terms value of the minimum wage for Mexican workers had fallen to a fifth of what it was in 1976.
It is precisely this type of experience that we need to guard against in our trade and investment policy. A number of publications this year – including from international bodies such as the World Bank, IMF and WTO – have acknowledged that the backlash against globalisation seen in so many countries these past two years is a genuine response from ordinary working people to the negative impact of unregulated trade on their lives. If we allow this trend to continue, we risk creating a vacuum for racist and extreme right-wing groups to capitalise on people's grievances and lead them off in directions that we in our movement abhor.
Labour takes human rights and labour standards seriously. When Jeremy Corbyn unveiled his 'Ten Pledges to Transform Britain' last year, they included the undertaking to build human rights and social justice into our trade policy. The Labour Party conference followed this up with a commitment to develop a trade and investment policy that would protect and promote skilled jobs, human rights and workers' rights based on internationally recognised labour standards. Our manifesto for this year's general election took this still further, with a commitment to ensure that future trade agreements cannot undermine human rights and labour standards, and that unfair trade practices in other countries are not able to jeopardise the high-quality, skilled jobs that we want to see in Britain and elsewhere.
There should be no mystery as to why we consider human rights and labour standards to be such an important element of trade policy. Labour believes in an open, rules-based international trading system precisely because of the economic benefits and life chances that trade can bring working people. It would be entirely self-defeating if we were to allow that potential for good to be undermined by a race to the bottom, pitting workers against each other in a beggar-thy-neighbour contest that produces no winners, only victims.
This is why we have said there needs to be a full and independent sustainability impact assessment conducted in advance of any new trade negotiations so that we can establish the potential social, economic and environmental consequences for all sectors and regions involved. These cannot just be 'tick-box' exercises either, but we need to be ready to act on the basis of such assessments, adjusting our negotiating mandates for future trade agreements in order to avoid the job losses and other social dislocations that were predicted for agreements such as TTIP and CETA.
A Labour government will also seek ways to ensure that human rights and labour standards are fully respected in the trade agreements themselves. The traditional model of relegating human rights and labour standards to non-binding social clauses in EU free trade agreements has not been effective. Yet the ILO has found that including labour provisions in trade agreements serves to increase the value of new trade generated.
Even binding clauses in future trade agreements may not be the most effective vehicle for upholding (let alone enhancing) labour standards and human rights. Unequal power relations within global value chains mean that UK-based companies exercise huge control over the practices of their suppliers, so that even progressive employers can find themselves unable to improve conditions for their workforce if UK buyers do not guarantee their ongoing support. That is why Labour's 2017 manifesto included a commitment to work with business to tighten the rules on corporate accountability in global supply chains, with a view to raising the bar across all sectors and in all countries where UK firms source their goods.
I've focused on the need to build human rights and social justice into trade policy as this represents one of the commitments that clearly distinguishes Labour's economic policy from those of the other major political parties in this country. I'd like to finish, if I may, by turning my attention to the parallel environmental challenges, particularly in respect of climate change.
Many of the threats already described in relation to human rights and labour standards also apply if environmental considerations are relegated to a secondary afterthought in trade policy rather than taken seriously from the outset. EU free trade agreements have typically failed to make any concession to environmental integrity, even when official impact assessments have warned of the dangers. The European Commission publicly acknowledged that TTIP would be dangerous for natural resources and for biodiversity preservation, and that it would add millions of extra tons of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere, but at no point did it stop to consider whether this should call the agreement into question.
There is an even greater danger when expanded trade in fossil fuels is included as a goal within international agreements. The NAFTA requirement on Canada to continue exporting oil to the USA has been held partly responsible for the expanded exploitation of the Alberta tar sands instead of investment in alternative energy sources. Later, when President Obama rejected the 875-mile long Keystone XL pipeline that was to carry the tar sands oil from Canada across the USA, the US government was sued under NAFTA's investor-state rules for a massive $15 billion. Donald Trump has reversed Obama's decision, and construction of the pipeline is now back in full swing.
Similarly, one of the primary environmental dangers of TTIP was the proposed initiation of oil and gas exports from the USA to Europe, which would have led to decades of dependence on the dirtiest fossil fuels – in this case, not just tar sands oil from Canada refined in the USA but also shale gas from the US fracking boom. While the TTIP negotiations may be on ice, the inclusion of fossil fuels in the negotiations has already taken its toll on EU environmental rules: in order to win over the USA to its proposed energy chapter in TTIP, the European Commission downgraded the EU Fuel Quality Directive so that tar sands oil can now be treated the same as less polluting fuels.
Labour will seek to build a positive trade policy that promotes sound environmental principles while at the same time supporting British jobs. We will actively encourage UK businesses to increase their exports of environmental goods, increasing the availability of green technologies such as solar panels, wind turbines, recycling machinery and other waste management tools. The environmental goods and services sector contributed £29 billion in value added to the UK economy during 2014, and supported over 370,000 jobs. Labour's 2017 manifesto included the commitment to back negotiations towards an Environmental Goods Agreement at the WTO, creating the potential for further expansion of UK exports at the same time as encouraging the global transition towards a low-carbon future.
Let me conclude with this simple reflection. Trade and investment are not ends in themselves but means towards our higher economic, social and environmental goals. As such, we have a duty to current and future generations to match our trade deals to those higher goals. Just as the renegotiation of NAFTA offers Mexico, Canada and the USA an opportunity to reassess their commercial relationship, so too does our withdrawal from the European Union offer Britain the chance to develop a progressive trade and investment policy that puts working people and the planet at its heart. I am happy to assure you that Labour looks forward to that task.
Thank you.

I don't tweet, but I do have a brief message for our president: Will you please get the hell out of the way for a few minutes? You and your antics are blocking our view of the damn world and it's a world we should be focusing on!
Maybe it was the moment, more than a week ago, when I found myself reading Donald Trump's double tweet aimed at MSNBC's Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski who, on Morning Joe, had suggested that the president might be "possibly unfit mentally."
"I heard," the president tweeted, "poorly rated @Morning_Joe speaks badly of me (don't watch anymore). Then how come low I.Q. Crazy Mika, along with Psycho Joe, came… to Mar-a-Lago 3 nights in a row around New Year's Eve, and insisted on joining me. She was bleeding badly from a face-lift. I said no!"
In response to Trump's eerie fascination with women's blood, Brzezinski tweeted a shot of the back of a Cheerios box that had the phrase "Made for Little Hands" on it. And so it all began, days of it, including the anti-cyber-bullying first lady's rush (however indirectly) to her husband's side via her communications director who said, "As the First Lady has stated publicly in the past, when her husband gets attacked, he will punch back 10 times harder."
But one tweet truly caught my attention, even if it was at the very beginning of a donnybrook that, with twists and turns, including claims of attempted White House blackmail over a National Enquirer article (and Trumpian rejoinders of every kind), would monopolize the headlines and fill the yak-o-sphere of cable TV for days. That tweet came from conservative idol Bill Kristol, editor at large for The Weekly Standard. It said: "Dear @realDonaldTrump, You are a pig. Sincerely, Bill Kristol."
Blinded to Our Planet and Its Troubles
Strange but at that moment another moment—so distant it might as well have been from a different planet or, as indeed was the case, another century—came to my mind. Donald Trump was still finishing his high-school years at a military academy and I was a freshman at Yale. It would have been a weekend in the late spring of 1963. One of my roommates was a working-class kid from Detroit, more of a rarity at that elite all-male school than this New York Jew (in the years when Yale was just removing its Jewish quotas). And here was another rarity: We had a double date with two young women from a local New Haven Catholic college.

Domain Boss Quits, McGrath's Mass Resignations
Get More Commentary, Discussion & Market Information On -
Is an infection in the property sector that emerged from the darkness yesterday to crunch the shares of newly listed Fairfax spin-off, Domain Holdings and listed real estate agency, McGrath?
Domain shares fell to new lows in its short, two month life as a listed company after the foundation CEO, Antony Catalano quit in odd circumstances (unexplained except for 'family reasons').
That saw the shares lose 17% to end at $2.75. That was after a 10% slide from listing in early November to last Friday.
Fairfax Media shares went south as well, off 10% at 65 cents.
McGrath listed at a price of $2.10 and the shares were down 13.8% at 50 cents on the ASX yesterday - a big ouch for shareholders game enough to stay on.
Investors however treated the problems as specific to Domain and McGrath with shares of the REA Group, 61% owned by News Corp, rising modestly yesterday by 0.4% to $73.99.
McGrath shares lost almost 10% after the Financial Review reported on Monday morning that the company had lost $1.3 million in the five months to November.
That saw the entire board, including CEO, Cameron Judson quit, apart from founder John McGrath. Mr Judson resigned after less than 18 months in the role, while McGrath chair, Cass O'Connor, and current non-executive directors Elizabeth Crouch and Cath Rogers announced their intention to resign following an orderly transition period while board member Nigel Dews has already resigned.
"The cost cuts have gone as far as they can while leaving the company with the resources to benefit from market improvements," said Ms O'Connor in a statement. McGrath said it anticipates full year earnings between $5.8 to $6.8 million after one off items. Stockbroker Bell Potter had forecast earnings at $16.6 million.
Mr McGrath said he was disappointed with the performance of the company over the past two years and it was time for a new approach. "Our investors and team have exhibited great patience and loyalty during this difficult time and I intend to work very hard to repay them for their confidence in the company. I have a clear plan to rebuild momentum but I will let our results speak for themselves from here," he added.
But the big shock was the departure of Catalano from Domain.
There were no hint of any problems over Christmas New Year and a trading update issued by Domain at the same time as the departure announcement yesterday showed no change in growth.
Domain in fact gave the impression that revenue had grown strongly in the period to December 31.
"Domain will report FY18 first-half financial results on 19 February 2018. Based on preliminary, unaudited pro forma results, Domain is expected to report digital revenue growth of 22% against the same period last year and total revenue growth of 13%. This is consistent with the most recent trading update provided to the market on 22 September 2017."
But there was no mention of how the company has been riding out the downturn in activity in recent months in its two biggest markets, Sydney and Melbourne. Nor was there any mention though of profit performance for the six months to December. Was that the reason?
Are there cuts coming if that profit performance turns out to be less than expected? According to the statement Catalano is leaving because of family reasons. Domain Chairman Nick Falloon who will act as Executive Chairman said in the statement:
"Antony informed the Board that over the Christmas break he had realised that the demands of his role and his absence from the lives of his family were proving more challenging than he had expected and he had decided to put his family first."
And Catalano was quoted in the statement as saying: "When I re-joined Fairfax in November 2013, I made a commitment to my young family that I could be there for them and do the job. It has become clear to me that doing the job of a listed company CEO the way it needs to be done means that I am not meeting that family commitment. It was also becoming apparent that I needed to relocate to Sydney and that was something I wouldn't ask my family to do because schooling and family requirements would see young family members living in different cities. As it stands I have been away from home for the bulk of each week and it's not fair on the family.
"I understand and regret that the timing of this decision is unusually short from Domain's listing. But having been in the role for four years, I resign knowing that Domain has a great management team in place and I have every confidence in them and the business continuing on its current stunning trajectory. Having worked with Fairfax Media and Domain for more than 26 years, I am proud of what has been achieved, most importantly seeing Domain grow into the formidable business that it is today, capable of being a stand-alone listed entity.
So to avoid any sniff of going to another job here or offshore, Mr Catalano will have to remain on the sidelines for quite a while. What is interesting is that there was no talk of giving a board seat to keep him in the Domain tent. What's the betting that that search turns up one Greg Ellis as a prime candidate - he is of course a board member of Domain and for years played a major role in the rise of rival REA Group (61% owned by rival media group, News Corp) in Australia and then in Europe.
Ellis was been, briefly, part of the team US private equity group, Hellman and Friedman had assembled for its aborted attempt to buy Fairfax Media in mid 2017.

We have culled out a few trends that will make your little ones fashionable attendees of those glittery Diwali soirées and card parties:
1. 'Mirror Mirror' on the runway
Summer 2016 runway was dominated by mirror-work cholis, lehengas, tiaras and sashes for women. Men also didn't shy away from adopting this trend, flaunting mirror-work collars, belts and footwear. And we know very well how kids love every opportunity to prance around in their flamboyant, head-turning costumes, so this designer fashion kids wear trend is right up their alley!
2. The Colour Swap
The festive time also presents a great opportunity to challenge gender norms! Let your kids truly embrace the festive spirit by encouraging them to experiment with colours, and break away from stereotypical colours and patterns. Don't hesitate to have your boy dressed in a pink sherwani and definitely don't panic if your daughter isn't into 'girly' pastels!
3. Say Hello to the 90s
Bell sleeves and ruffles are back in trend and certainly here to stay! Bell sleeves blouses and kurtis for girls make for a cute twist to the traditional silhouette. Since the 90s were all about quirky prints, it makes sense to get your hands on festive print shirts and pants featuring diyas or lights. It's an eccentric but fun outfit idea perfect for both boys and girls. After all, there is no better time than Diwali for kids to be colourful and add to the festive ambience!
4. The Filmy Bug

And of course, let your kids call the shots on colours and patterns!
5. The Royal Snub
If your kid is a 'Nawab' or 'Begum' in-the-making, sticking to timeless fashion is a good idea! Bandh galas for boys and Jodhpuri pants for girls would be our go-to picks. Don't forget to accessorize these looks by adding a pair of Jodhpuri juttis that are just as traditional as they are glamorous!

Marcia Karen Wallace (November 1, 1942 – October 25, 2013) was an American actress, voice artist, comedian, and game show panelist, primarily known for her roles in television situation comedies. She is perhaps best known for her roles as receptionist Carol Kester on the 1970s sitcom The Bob Newhart Show, and as the voice of elementary school teacher Edna Krabappel on the animated series The Simpsons, for which she won an Emmy in 1992. Enjoy Marcia Wallace's best quotes below.
"I'm in awe of people out there who deal with Alzheimer's, because they have to deal with death 10 times over, year after year."
"I don't know what religious people do. I kind of wished I'd been a Christian with the blind faith that God is doing the right thing. As a Buddhist, you feel like you have more control over the situation, and that you can change your karma."
"Be good to yourself. Listen to your body, to your heart. We're very hard on ourselves, and we're always feeling like we're not doing enough. It's a terribly hard job."
"I think illness is a family journey, no matter what the outcome. Everybody has to be allowed to process it and mourn and deal with it in their own way."
"I'm sure it really is hard to be an oncologist, and actually, more and more people are surviving cancer."
"Eve Ensler is a hero of mine. She's been working for the rights of women for a long time."
"I asked for help, which is the hardest thing in the world."
"You know, this is a business where only 15% make a living wage and only 9% of those are women. But I figured somebody has to be that 15%, somebody's got to be one of those women."
"I have a deep conviction that our lives are eternal, that it is waking and sleeping, that we are born together with the people we love lifetime after lifetime."
"I went to these mixers, you know, where you're supposed to meet people. And sure enough, some guy asked me for my phone number. but at the end of the evening he gave it back."
"There is no such thing as an unreasonable question, or a silly question, or a frivolous question, or a waste-of-time question. It's your life, and you've got to get these answers."

Grief and Wrath: The Personal Problem
In order for humanity to be reconciled to God, it is necessary to know God. We obviously cannot be joined to someone we do not know. We need to know what his character is like, how he is disposed toward us, and how he feels concerning sin. We must further take time to study God's love memos dealing with his thoughts and attitudes or be destined as a result of our moral drift to misinterpret Him entirely.
An earlier chapter mentioned the profound alteration which took place in Adam's heart following his sin. Adam's new desire to conceal himself from God indicated that he believed that God, also, had changed. This very concept has carried on throughout the entire race of rebellious men and women. They imagine a God of wrath filled with a desire for vindication. They wonder if perhaps the wrath of God kindled by their sin may not be, at least partially, appeased by gifts or by suffering. The tragic spectacle of men worshiping God from fear is heightened by pitiful rituals of self inflicted torment. The worldwide hope is that God will be soothed as He watches the sinner suffer. P. P. Waldenstrom in his book, Be Ye Reconciled to God, states:
Many dear children of God view this as the very essence of Christ's work. They think they never can escape the wrath of God, unless it has been poured out upon someone else in their stead. In their opinion, the chief significance of Christ is that He be a shelter to shield against God or, so to speak, a lightning rod for His wrath, in order that they may feel safe before Him. [1]P. P. Walden Strom, Be Ye Reconciled to God, Men for Missions, p. 3.
Isaiah Watts' hymn highlights this misconception:
Rich were the drops of Jesus' blood
That calm'd his frowning face,
That sprinkled o'er the burning throne
And turn'd the wrath to grace.
Thy hands, dear Jesus,
were not arm'd With a revenging rod;
No hard commission to perform,—
The vengeance of a God.
But all was mercy, all was mild,
And wrath forsook the throne,
When Christ on the kind errand came
And brought salvation down.
As Albert Barnes rightly observes,
"In such language as this, while something may be set down to mere poetry and to the overflowing emotions of gratitude to the Saviour for the part which he has performed in the work of redemption, it is undoubtedly implied, by the fair interpretation of the language, that a change has been produced in God by the work of the atonement; that in some way a Being before stern, severe, and angry has been made mild, forgiving and kind." [2]Albert Barnes, The Atonement, Bethany Fellowship, p. 220–221.
This serves to illustrate the tremendous need to discuss God's attitude and approach in the process of reconciliation. Christians have grasped hold of scriptures pertaining to God's wrath and, in the midst of their theorizing, missed an extremely important point. It was not God who needed to be reconciled to man, but it was man who needed to be reconciled to God. God's disposition of love toward man has never changed; it has not been diminished by the "fall" or any other subsequent event. There is, in fact, no sin which man could commit capable of severing God's love. There is nothing one can do to make God stop loving. God hates sin but not people. The love of God never needed to be restored by propitiation, because it was never lost. The atonement could not have changed God, for He tells us plainly that His character is unchanging (James 1:17).
The essential idea in the atonement is, not that God was originally stern and inexorable and that he has been made mild and merciful by the atonement, but that the atonement itself has its foundation in his willingness to pardon; not that he has been made benevolent by the atonement, but that he was originally so disposed to show mercy that he was willing to stoop to any sacrifice but that of truth and justice in order that he might show his willingness to pardon the guilty. He gave his Son to die, not that he might be bought over to love, but as the expression of love. [3]Ibid., p. 220–221.
When the Bible speaks of the wrath of God, to what does it refer? Everywhere the object of God's wrath is described as sin and unrighteousness. This is a hatred that will never be appeased or changed. Christ's death in no way affected the righteous wrath of God toward sin. How would the universe survive if God should cease to hate sin? The Bible also speaks of a "wrath to come" (Luke 3:7). Man's preparations for that day are also included in Scripture:
But, after thy hardness and impenitent heart, treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God. Romans 2:5
The first time the word wrath appears here, it may be interpreted to read guilt. The second time it appears as the painful duty of a righteous God. It is the consequences levied against unrepentant sinners. We have already seen the incredible grief that sin brings to God, and the execution of judgment brings Him even less comfort. God pleads with men to change their hearts so He can withhold judgment.
Say to them, As I live, says the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live; turn back, turn back from your evil ways; for why will you die; O house of Israel? Ezekiel 33:11 (RSV)
For He does not afflict willingly, or grieve the sons of men. Lamentations 3:33 (NASB)
Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land: but if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it. Isaiah 1:18–20
We can clearly see that it is not God's desire to see judgment and if we, like Nineveh, will be willing to repent then we will find "a gracious and compassionate God, slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness, and One who relents concerning calamity" (Jonah 4:2).
On the other hand, if we staunchly refuse God's offer to "reason together," there will eventually come a time when God is regretfully conscious that the means at His disposal to secure man's obedience have been exhausted. It is at this moment that God's grief reaches a climax, for He knows that for the highest good of all involved He must judge the unrepentant offender. There is a song on a children's album that expresses this point beautifully, about Noah entering the ark and God's subsequent judgment of wickedness on earth:
But as the Lord was speaking, He then began to cry. He wept and wept for 40 days. He wept 40 nights. Though it had never rained before in all the earth's long years, now up the ark began to rise upon God's tears. [4]Agapeland, Candle Company Music

Chiseled into the terrific wall which cuts through the plains of Yanxia, and passing in between the two of the Dairyu Moon Gates, will be the visage of Ganen, the legendary hero who united Doma.The initial king in the New Kingdom was not just a military genius, but also the founder of geomancy. Thus, following his death, this royal mausoleum became a holy place for his disciples to make pilgrimage. Properly, following the invasion with the Empire, it was abandoned and fell into disrepair, but situations now conspire to deliver the Warrior of Light unto these hallowed halls – but to what finish?
New Dungeon Gear in the Swallow's Compass
Within the Producer Live's most recent letter, there's news revealed that a brand new trial in conjunction with its Extreme version will likely be introduced, but we are going to not know what it is till Square Enix releases the Patch 4.3 trailer.
The Deep Dungeon will get an update with "Heaven-on-High", which will call for you to begin at level 60. The 24-man raid Return to Ivalice also gets its next component in Patch 4.3. We are able to expect to see some job adjustments for Dark Knight, Samurai, and Aastrologian classes. More facts might be shared soon within the patch notes.
In Patch 4.35, we can anticipate a couple additions with the Pagos Expedition to expand around the Forbidden Land of Eureka. The Ultima Weapon trial will get a new "Ultimate" difficulty with "The Minstrel's Ballad: The Weapon's Refrain in 4.35 too.
Final Fantasy XIV is now obtainable on PlayStation 4 and PC. You could get Final Fantasy XIV Gil on specialist web site IGXE.com. Plus the Patch 4.3, "Under the Moonlight" will likely be launching by the finish of May 2018. Let's look forward to its arrival!

Before You Hit Send, Consult Your Email Checklist
Karen Gedney's got some good advice here about using an email checklist before you hit the "send" button. You know, to prevent those embarrassing mistakes (like sending 5,000 "Happy Thanksgiving" emails on Christmas—not that I've ever done that before).
Some things Karen recommends for your checklist:
- Test your subject line for readability in multiple email programs
- Do the first 15 characters contain the main hook?
- Did you remember a call-to-action in the content?
- Does the link point to the correct landing page?
- Check how your email appears in different email programs (ahem, very easy to do with MailChimp's Inbox Inspector)
And many more really good points. Be sure to check out the full article here:
MailChimp's Pre-Delivery Checklist
If you're like me, you probably get a little nervous when it's time to click that send button. It's kinda scary sending something to thousands of people.
That's why in MailChimp, we've got the Pre-Delivery Checklist. It's a screen where we stop the flow, and give you a chance to review what you've done before hitting that send button:
Here are some of the things
I've screwed up with my campaigns I recommend you check before you send:
- Are you sending it to the correct list? Particularly important if you're an agency sending on behalf of multiple clients. Or, if you just want to send to your test list, make sure that it's selected here (and not your "real" list).
- Is tracking on? By default, MailChimp has it on, but for some reason, people like to turn it off while they're sending themselves tests (I have no idea why). Make sure you turn tracking back on if you want it.
- Are you using the correct email template for the campaign?
- Did you remember a plain-text version of the email?
If we had our way, the little chimp's arm would poke out the Pre-delivery Checklist screen and
give you a gentle slap on the face. Just to get your attention.
One last tip (from our customer service guru, Dan): Don't click the "Send Now" button. If you're a nervous nellie like me, always use the "Schedule for later" button. Even if you're ready to send the campaign now, schedule it for 30 minutes in the future. That's because as soon as you hit "Send" you WILL suddenly remember all those things you forgot to do (on Karen's checklist). Now you've got 30 minutes to "go back in time" and fix things.

Interview With 'Black Death' Director Christopher Smith!
Black Death, the latest horror film from 'Severance' director Christopher Smith, tells the story of a young monk in 14th century England (Eddie Redmayne) who travels with a group of soldiers to a remote village that has been left mysteriously untouched by the Black Plague. Once there, they must contend with a beautiful necromancer (Carice van Houten) who it is rumored possesses the ability to raise the dead.
B-D reporter Chris Eggertsen recently got on the phone with Smith to discuss the historical horror movie, which is now playing on home-viewing formats (On-Demand, Xbox, Playstation, Vudu, Amazon.com and iTunes) and debuts on March 11th in limited theaters. During their talk the director addressed comparisons to the similarly-themed 'Season of the Witch', why he decided to veer away from the more supernatural direction that was present in the original script, and the fine line he had to walk to both satisfy gore-hounds and present a more grounded type of violence that was true to his vision for the film.
See inside for the full interview.
If you're still feeling burned by the cinematic abomination known as 'Season of the Witch' – the Dominic Sena-directed film featuring a sleepwalking Nicolas Cage that debuted earlier this year – Christopher Smith's similarly-themed 'Black Death' might just succeed in washing the bad taste of creatively stunted big-studio filmmaking from your mouth. At the very least, the latter film – which premiered on home-viewing formats (On-Demand, Xbox, Playstation, Vudu, Amazon.com and iTunes) on February 4th and begins a limited theatrical run on March 11th – will offer a more thoughtful take on the idea of supposed witchcraft during the time of the Black Plague.
Smith, who has previously helmed three features: 2005 subway slasher 'Creep'; 2006 horror/comedy 'Severance'; and 2009 psychological horror/mystery 'Triangle'; got on the phone with me recently to discuss his latest film, which follows a young monk (Eddie Redmayne) as he guides a group of soldiers led by a fearsome knight (Sean Bean) to a village that has been mysteriously spared from the horrible pandemic, which is estimated to have killed at least a third of Europe's population in the 14th century. Once there, they must contend with a beautiful necromancer (Carice van Houten) who it is believed possesses the ability to raise the dead.
While Smith hasn't yet had the opportunity to view 'SOTW', which in its broad strokes is essentially a bigger-budgeted version of 'Black Death', during the interview I made a point of mentioning to him just how terrible it was – particularly in the third act, during which a laughably-rendered CGI demon does battle with Cage and his allies. It was interesting, then, when Smith – who nabbed the gig after 'White Noise' director Geoffrey Sax exited the project – pointed out that the last half of the original 'Black Death' screenplay, penned by scribe Dario Poloni, similarly trafficked in the realm of the supernatural before he came in and pitched a different take on the story.
"The first half of the script I read is almost identical to the film you see, but the second half was more of a supernatural movie", said the fast-talking Smith, speaking in a thick British accent. "I read the script [and] was loving the first half…but I was a little disappointed that it had gone the way of the supernatural. Only because anything medieval seems to become a sword-and-sorcery movie…so when I went to the meeting [to talk about directing the project]…I said 'I'd love to do it, but I'd [like to] keep everything as realistic as possible."
It was then that Smith went to work with his screenwriter to change the course of the last half of the story, from dramatizing a more overt struggle with the Devil to taking a more grounded, though no less horrifying, approach.
"To me, the Devil exists in the dark decisions we make", he said. "I love devil movies when you actually have demons, but…I think actions, dark actions, are much more scary."
Part of the changes in the script had to do with giving the monk character an "arc" Smith saw as analogous to the sort of radical religious extremism that regularly makes headlines in the 21st century – a parallel that reflects the director's own fears about the state of the world today.
"By the end of the film, he's gone from an innocent, moderate priest to someone who's radicalized", said Smith about the character. "The idea of radicalization being the thing we're most scared of, and the evils of radicalization and all these things are really for me the things that scare me the most…when there's a delicate situation that is on our side of the agenda, we go 'here's a delicate situation'. When it's not on our side, we are told in big, grand terms that it's evil."
To bolster the more grounded vision he had for the story, Smith also made the decision to shoot some of the film in a style reminiscent of old war footage, as if an embedded journalist were there with a camera capturing the action up-close. It's an approach he utilized in hopes of enhancing the movie's visceral impact, eliminating the more objective distance trafficked in by many historical and/or fantasy adventure films.
"The idea that you're following behind the men at ground level, you're not doing helicopter shots, you're not doing your 'Lord of the Rings' shots, you're walking with the guys…that's very much like the camera crew, modern-style that you're used to in war footage", he said. "I think that kind of gives us a modern way into the world."
The director also sought to approximate what witnessing deaths on the battlefield might actually feel like in the real world, instead of using the more "splatterific" horror movie-style gags that would work against the sense of authenticity he was striving for.
"Some people [think] the film's not as gory [as my other films], [that] you don't see as much. But then other people say, 'it's your most violent film.'", said Smith. "And I think for me it's my most violent film because…people get their throat cut, and it's not a quick slash of the blade, Argento style. It's a bit of work, like killing a pig. So I tried to put that brutality into it, not in a gratuitous way but in a way that makes the subtext feel more modern and more relevant [to] today."
Smith also extended this more verite-style sensibility to scenes in which we witness the horrific results of the Black Plague.
"The whole 'agenda', if you like, of what the film was, was try to give the period the same respect…[as] if we were dealing with a disease that just killed lots of people [today]", he offered. "Let's not titillate the audience with how gruesome and vile it was, let's show it as though we had stumbled across a load of bodies and we filmed it…almost like we're a war correspondent."
These creative decisions also allowed the director, who didn't (presumably) have the luxury of a 'Lord of the Rings' or even 'Season of the Witch'-size budget, to complete principal photography in about "six and a half" weeks. Not that this means he necessarily skimped on the gore. As Smith himself is well aware, 'Black Death' is ultimately a fictional construction designed to entertain, not a historical document.
"[The audience] still [has] demands", he conceded. "You can't make the movie so dry that it becomes sterile. So for example, [the gruesome death of a major character] is probably the moment where I let it go a little bit…only because that was something that happened in those days. But how you shoot that, how you do it, how long you leave it for, becomes a balancing act in the edit…it's a delicate balance."
'Black Death' is also a fairly sweeping vision, certainly more so than any of Smith's previous films. I was curious, then, how he felt about U.S. distributor Magnolia's decision to debut the big screen-worthy film on home-viewing formats prior to its theatrical run. While this pattern of distribution is certainly becoming a popular model, clearly the dream for most (if not all) directors is to see their cinematic works projected on a giant canvas. Smith, though, assured me he was more than content with Magnolia's strategy – if only for the fact that it will help to de-incentivize people outside the major cities from illegally downloading crappy bootlegged versions of the film.
"The way I feel is this: I couldn't be happier", he declared. "To get the kind of release that 'Season of the Witch' had, you have to have studio money in it…there are very few that aren't linked in some way to the studio that get [those] kinds of releases. So for me, I'm kind of like, 'I'd rather [people] are seeing it on a good quality [on the small screen], [rather than] downloading it off the internet for free."

'Sons of Anarchy': Will SAMCRO Leave Charming? — Bobby Speaks Out
Oh no! Could 'Sons of Anarchy' actually end in a different city than Charming? With the recent activities that have gone down in town, it's not completely out of the question.
Jax (Charlie Hunnam) has lost his wife, his children are in danger, and Bobby (Mark Boone Junior) is missing. Needless to say, SAMCRO is having a tough year on Sons of Anarchy.
'Sons of Anarchy': Will Jax & Co. Leave?
While we await for the truth about Tara (Maggie Siff)'s murder to come to a forefront for Jax, we've got to wonder if he's hit a point — does he want out of Charming? We know that Nero (Jimmy Smits) wants Gemma (Katey Sagal) out, so maybe they'll pick up and move.
We spoke to Mark Boone Junior (or one-eyed Bobby as you may know him), after Chiller Theater Expo in New Jersey, and he revealed how he could see the ending of the show.
"Bobby ends up with Lyla!" he said jokingly, adding that he knows that doesn't happen because of the age difference. So, his other option?
"We move the club to Colorada and we start growing a lot of pot," he suggested. Well, maybe they'd get in less trouble in Colorado!
SAMCRO Is 'So Thick With Lies' — Can It Make It?
Kim Coates, AKA Tig, also spoke to HollywoodLife.com exclusively and revealed he thinks they may just all end up in jail.
"It's so thick with lies right now. It's so thick with secrets. I don't know how they're going to end this, with the hell that we're all in," he told us. "I don't think anyone knows but [Kurt Sutter]. I mean, how are we all not in jail?!"
Well, if Gemma comes forward, we have a feeling that Jax will end up in jail.
"I don't know if Gemma's going to come forward or not, but right now, we're just filled with so many lies," he added. "It's very hard to come to work everyday; it's just so dark!"
Do you think Sons will finish in Charming?

In a story that tries to give President Barack Obama cover for his forthcoming executive amnesty, the Associated Press refuses to acknowledge that nearly all of the country's illegal immigrants are already essentially protected from being deported.
The Associated Press wrote that Obama "wants to extend protection from deportation to millions of immigrant parents and spouses of U.S. citizens and permanent residents, and expand his 2-year-old program that shields immigrants brought illegally to this country as children." The AP story can lead pro-amnesty advocates to falsely conclude that these illegal immigrants are more likely than not to be deported, and Obama is the "deporter-in-chief" when he is far from it.
President Barack Obama's former ICE director, John Sandweg told the Los Angeles Times earlier this year that, "if you are a run-of-the mill immigrant living here illegally, your odds of getting deported are close to zero." The Times, hardly a conservative outlet, analyzed the deportation data and concluded that "a closer examination shows that immigrants living illegally in most of the continental U.S. are less likely to be deported today than before Obama came to office" and "expulsions of people who are settled and working in the United States have fallen steadily since his first year in office, and are down more than 40% since 2009."
A report from Sen. Jeff Sessions' (R-AL) office from earlier this year also completely debunked the myth that Obama is the so-called "deporter-in-chief." Under the Obama administration, odds are that only the most violent illegal immigrants are being deported.
According to Department of Homeland Security data from fiscal year 2013, which Sessions' staff cited, "less than 0.2% of the approximately 12 million illegal immigrants and visa overstays in the U.S. were placed into removal proceedings who did not have serious criminal convictions on their record" and "only about .08% of the approximately 12 million were placed into removal proceedings who were neither convicted of a serious crime nor a repeat immigration violator." That means "only 0.08% of the nation's 12 million illegal immigrants were removed from the interior in 2013 who were not convicted criminals or fugitives."
There have been numerous instances in which illegal immigrants who have been caught, or even turned themselves in to federal authorities, have been immediately released. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials have also reportedly been warned, as Breitbart News noted, they would "be subject to disciplinary action" if they followed through on enforcing the country's immigration laws. In one case, an ICE official was told not to give a "notice to appear" in court to an illegal immigrant caught "driving the vehicle of a known fugitive without a license." During the border crisis this summer, Obama also instructed federal officials to shift resources from the interior to the border, protecting even more illegal immigrants from deportation.
Obama's executive amnesty is far from merely giving more formal deportation relief to many illegal immigrants who currently do not have fears about getting deported. It would, just like his Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) that he enacted by executive fiat, do much more. It would give Social Security numbers, identification cards, and work permits that illegal immigrants can use to take nearly every job in America.
