In short, W.T. Stead is the penultimate "snake in the grass" of modern history, along with Klaus (the nuclear Nazi) Schwab and Anthony (Abys) Fauci.
Stead has been there, lurking in the high grass, at every British turn toward darkness in our modern world. It is not for nothing that he is known as the "Father of Tabloid Journalism" where fact and opinion are intertwined into a confusing muddle.
We have noticed that W.T. Stead was a master at presenting a dichotomy of opposites as two sides of the same coin (related truths, just differently expressed). For example, [ADD example from In Darkest England and the Way Out.]. When reading Stead, one could be excused for concluding that "golly, truth is evil when seen from the liar's point of view, since after all, most people lie!"—a heinous talent in the hands of a propagandist like Stead.]

If your initial reaction is to think that the Salvation Army and Y.M.C.A. are irrelevant to today, consider these statistics . . .
The Salvation Army was founded in London Jul. 02, 1865 and today boasts 130 countries (including China), 14,588 locations, 27,177 officers, 107,245 employees and "soldiers" of various classes and $3.8 billion revenue.
Notably, the New York Y.M.C.A. was founded by Robber barons J.P. Morgan, Cornelius Vanderbilt and Elihu Root on May 15, 1865—just six weeks earlier. This was no coincidence.
The Y.M.C.A. was founded in London on Jun. 05, 1844 and today boasts presence in 120 countries (including China) reaching 64 million people and $2.2 billion revenue.
If the Salvation Army and Y.M.C.A. are not important to someone's priorities today, how do they get $6 billion in annual revenue. Who is funding the agenda? Not Christmas kettles and swim subscriptions. ANSWER: Slave trafficking of human souls.

Jul. 16, 2021—We have just published research on Boris Johnson's relationship to founding of the Y.M.C.A., so we will focus this post on The Salvation Army.
Sadly, the two are connected. They are related to the hegemony of British Empire and its economic requirement for a permanent slave underclass.
When British plantation slavery was abolished ca. 1833-40, the slave bankers and traders turned to nurturing buggered, raped, shamed and brainwashed white slaves for their emerging industries, and to replace their former black and brown slaves. Vice Pretender Kamala D. Harris' great great grandfather Hamilton Brown was one such slaver banker-attorney, so were British prime minister Boris Johnson's maternal and spousal ancestors.
The history of our world since about the 1890s has been driven by this demonic slavery specter, variously called the Boer Wars, Bolshevik "Revolution [read: British betrayal]," WWI, Tavistock Institute, Wellcome Trust, Marconi Wireless, Reuters (Rothschild propaganda), Pilgrims Society, communism, FBI, MI6, MI5, GC&CS/GCHQ, League of Nations, CFR, RCA, NBC, United Nations, WII, "Five Eyes," C.I.A., Chinese "[YMCA] Cultural Revolution," Korean War, Cold War, Senior Executive Service (SES), Cambodia, Rwanda, Syria, Kosovo, 911, African embassy bombings, war on terror, biowarfare, Trump-Russia hoax, brainwashing, mind control, migration, propaganda, intelligence, false flags, gas lighting, BLM, Antifa, fiat banking.
What is their vision you ask?
We have wondered this ourselves as we have uncovered this hidden history.
Part of the answer was discovered just a few days ago. It was an 1890 Salvation Army POSTER that accompanied a newly-published book. It was buried nondescriptly in a Cornell University digital collection of 800 "Persuasive Maps."
Unconnected to the poster was a companion book, buried in an 816-page compendium of the monthly British editions of The Review of Reviews from Jan-Dec 1890, edited and published by William Thomas ("W.T.") Stead at HathiTrust, a university library consortium.
The 1890 book being promoted, In Darkest England and the Way Out, was ostensibly written by Salvation Army founder William Booth. His co-writer was W.T. Stead, the editor in whose The Review of Reviews the promotion was printed.
In other words, Stead was writing his own review, hiding his agenda inside the Salvation Army's.
Booths new book was titled "In Darkest England, and the Way Out." Booth (actually Stead) laid out his vision for a new kind of Salvation Army that would expand its "eternal salvation" in Jesus Christ message to embrace and promote a secular "social salvation."
See Graham J. Baker. (2014). Eugenics and Migration: A Case Study of Salvation Army Literature about Canada and Britian, c. 1890-1921. University of Toronto Press.
Why did Booth allow this watering down of his Gospel revival spiritual message? This requires more study, but it appears that Booth and his whole family were funded lavishly by the British slave bankers including Barclays, Lloyds and the Rothschilds. The British aristocracy's penchant for buggery, rape and shaming probably meant that at least some of the Booth family were blackmailed Jeffrey Epstein-esque. As anyone in non-profit work knows, the big donors have a big say in the operations.
The Salvation Army / Y.M.C.A. became the spawning ground for the new buggered, raped, shamed and brainwashed white slaves of the British Empire new world order. Note: The "Colony Across the Sea" (top of poster, their Nirvana) was to be South Africa in 1890; when that failed to materialize, America became the substitute.
Our "great reset" masters & their white, Black, Brown & yellow slaves
Here's the Cecil J. Rhodes 200-yr. vision produced by W.T. Stead in 1890 to steer the Salvation Army agenda to become a tool of Imperial British corporatism
The "Colony Across the Sea" was South Africa, and is now America.

If you are tempted to think this is ancient history, think again.
If that is so, then why did Henry Kissinger and Paul Volcker become vice presidents of the Pilgrims Society in the U.S. in 2007-09 while the so-called "bank bailout" was occurring? So they could get discounts on the gala banquets and an audience with the Queen?
In addition, Kissinger's first speech as Secretary of State in 1973 was in London to the British Pilgrims Society where he promoted the new world order and the petrodollar to replace the gold standard. Time magazine's Henry Luce III was a long-time president of the Pilgrims, as was Columbia president Nicholas Butler Murray—(British) Five Eyes, CIA parallel founder William J. Donovan's mentor.
W.T. Stead was devoted to necromancy
Stead was a spiritualist who promoted necromancy (talking to the dead). He was well known in the parlors of Victorian London for conducting seances and facilitating "automatic writing" and verbal conversations with the dead when, that is, he was not promoting his new, improved Salvation ("Christian") Army.
Stead also employed Rev. Dr. Hugh "Sinclair" Moore as an assistant in his seances. Moore is Oracle Larry Ellison's baby daddy, thus linking the storage of the world's data with spiritualism, necromancy. Moore was latter tried and convicted for pedophilia, founded the First Church of Psycho-Science in Oakland, CA and was married at least four times.
Under Stead considerable influence, The Salvation Army became the chief promoter of the so-called "social gospel," also called commun-ism, fascism and liberation theology. As best we can tell, up until that time (1890) the Salvation Army staff appear to have been enthusiastic street preachers, even if their leader Booth, a former pawn broker, was milking their sincerity for profit.
However, the slave bankers of the age including Barclays, Rothschilds, Lloyds, J.P. Morgan corrupted them by heavily funding both the YMCA and The Salvation Army. They used them to recruit their white slave replacements for their recently relinquished black and brown plantation slaves (which were ordered released by an 1833 Act of Parliament).
These new white slaves were made compliant by institutional sodomy, rape, shaming, brainwashing, kidnapping, drug and alcohol dependency and economic deprivation which the Salvation Army and YMCA would provide.
(Jeffrey Epstein is an illustration of how this is done.)
In short, in Stead's new model the Salvation Army became a social services recruiter, trainer, organizer and controller for the new white slaves of the British Empire (including America). Once you are in their system, you rarely escape, and if you do, you are murdered.
We believe this explains why the FBI, many in senior law enforcement and politicians do little to track and recover missing children. They are in on this satanic economy.

Where do all those souls crossing America's southern border go? ANSWER: We believe directly into the hands of the slave recruiting mills of organizations like the British Salvation Army, British YMCA and Bethany Christian Services (Michigan), along with George Soros' International Crisis Group (ICG) and USAID.
Slavery is huge, profitable business, obviously. Just look at the Salvation Army and Y.M.C.A. alone—$6 billion in combined 2020 revenue.
History Censorship; while we raised our families, the enemies of humanity lied to us until we believe their lies and tried to act upon them
Why are we only discovering these insidious British agendas in 2021?
Historically, this censoring of history began after Andrew Carnegie (1909) was ordered by the British Pilgrims Society to rewrite American history books and education to be more British friendly.
This was at the same time that J.P. Morgan (1915) was ordered by the same Rothschild handlers to buy up editorial control of all of America's major newspapers. . Our brainwashing today is a testament to how successful this pro-British whitewash of history has been. Indeed, these American anglophile traitors were already advocating a "Declaration of Interdependence" with Britain by 1918.
Of late, many NGO-funded universities put up login requirement barriers to their archives that only allow pre-approved institutional users (and specifically not you and me, the great unwashed). In the case of the British Library and Parliamentary Archives, many archive collections require the researcher to go physically to their libraries, but even that has not been possible during the fake pandemic. Given British MI6-MI5-GCHG-CCTV ubiquity, such an effort will certainly mark you for persecution.
In 2020, The Salvation Army had revenues of $3.8 billion with over $300 million from the U.S. government. As a result, the Salvation Army is effectively an arm of the rogue and treasonous Senior Executive Service.
Jesus Christ, Sermon on the Mount—The Wise and Foolish Builders
"(24) Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. (25) The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. (26) But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. (27) The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash." St. Matthew 7:24-27.
In conclusion
Stop the flow of money to this satanic global slavery agenda and their power and influence will die on the vine.

Microsoft Corp is developing a multi-user version of Windows NT under a project aptly code named Hydra, after the mythical nine-headed serpent of classical antiquity. Work on the project has reportedly been advancing in earnest since NT 4.0, the current version of the operating system, went gold last August. Prior to beginning serious coding, Microsoft spent months sorting out the design. Sources close to the company say Hydra can already be demonstrated, though few outside Redmond have seen it. Microsoft's design includes both a full multiuser NT kernel and a thin-display protocol that it reportedly nabbed from Intel Corp. That protocol is currently said to run on a Windows CE box, using Microsoft's cut-down 32-bit NT/95-derived browser-based operating system for $500 PDAs, NCs, hand-helds and embedded devices once known as Pegasus. It is thought that there may be a place for third parties to add an X protocol as well but little else. Sources reckon a multiuser rev will see the light of day in an edition called NT '5 1/2' – meaning the one that follows the next major revision of the operating system, NT 5.0, which is supposed to go to manufacturing in the first quarter of next year. NT 5 1/2 is supposedly penciled in for the third quarter of 1998 but, given Microsoft's history of slippages, neither NT 5.0 nor the so-called 5 1/2 are considered likely to hit their dates so the best guess for 5 1/2 is 1999. Microsoft's sudden interest in making NT multiuser, a chore it previously farmed out to third parties like Citrix Systems and Groupe Prologue, revolves around the threat posed by NCs, thin clients and total cost of ownership. Given that these threats could be lethal to Microsoft, observers doubt that it will use any of the multiuser technology developed by either Citrix or Groupe Prologue. Both companies have a source code license to NT from Microsoft and both have made substantial changes to the operating system and the operating system's kernel – so much so that some Windows applications reportedly break. Groupe Prologue, a French concern, has made little impact on the market but Citrix, a Florida company with an IBM and OS/2 background, has been something of a Wall Street high-flyer until it crashed last week on word Microsoft might do its own multiuser version of NT.
Citrix' business was given momentum by the thin client craze, the absence of workable Java applications and devices and the market's very real concern about the real cost of owning Wintel machines. Because it could run Windows apps – which is what everybody wanted anyway – Citrix technology was licensed by Tektronix, Wyse Technology, Insignia Solutions, CompuServe, Boundless Technologies, Telxon, Canada's Transphone LLC, Psion Software PLC, Triteal, Motorola and Sun Microsystems. IBM and Data General have made arrangements to resell it.
Given the strong likelihood that Microsoft, on a not-invented-here bender, will snub Citrix' technology in favor of its own. The two are said to be in cross-licensing discussions, but Microsoft is believed to own any NT work Citrix might have done anyway. Citrix is going to have to do some tall explaining to its shareholders as to how it allowed itself to get into the predicament it's in.
Citrix' window of opportunity was always short-term. Eventually Microsoft would bring multiuser back home. Citrix knew that. Others in the thinly populated world in which Citrix was playing claim to have known for months that Microsoft had embarked on the Hydra project and claim Citrix had known too, however informally. Given Microsoft's predatory reputation, Citrix – despite the $150 million it has in the bank – has made no move to shore up its position with acquisitions, heightened R&D or branching off into new technical areas. Meanwhile, insiders appear to have reduced their own stock positions in the company substantially over recent months. Citrix is also considerably behind in bringing out its NT 4.0 technology and has so far failed to negotiate a 4.0 license from Microsoft. Sources say these 4.0 negotiations are long-standing and it was during 4.0 discussions last week that Microsoft lowered the boom and formally notified Citrix that it was doing Hydra. Citrix' stock, which had been in the 50s in December and January crashed into the $10 cellar on word of Microsoft's intentions. It is believed Citrix has been difficult about 4.0 pricing. Under its NT 3.51 license, sources say it has been paying Microsoft only a few hundred bucks per server while charging hefty prices per user. Microsoft, it claims, didn't want to leave all that money on the table and Bill Gates himself publicly observed back in November that Citrix' costs defeated the economics of NCs. Citrix has also said that its ICA protocol technology, which it describes as the bulk of its assets, is not currently part of any licensing negotiations that may be going on with Microsoft – apparently because Redmond already has rights to embed ICA in NT and Windows 95 – and presumably the Hydra protocol Microsoft is supposed to have from Intel is a lot more efficient in high-bandwidth environments than ICA can pretend to be so it's doubtful ICA will continue to have much value much longer.

11 May 2018
After a period of hard work, you are looking forward to a carefree holiday.
If you are planning to travel with (your) children, please remember you will need permission of the parent(s) with parental authority. Without it, further investigation will be carried out at your point of departure. Please read this article carefully to ensure you don't miss your flight!
Legally, a holiday falls within the exercise of the right of custody. This means that the parent or parents with parental authority must give permission for a minor to travel. If you travel abroad with minors, you will need to demonstrate that you have permission from the parent(s) with parental authority. Travelling without this permission can be considered as kidnapping, and you could be accused of child abduction.
Who has parental authority depends on personal circumstances. Under Dutch law, both parents automatically have parental authority if a child is born within the marriage or a registered partnership. If a child is born outside a marriage or registered partnership, then the mother is, in principle, legally entitled to parental authority. The father can be given authority after a record has been introduced in the parental authority register or by court ruling.
Filling in an authorisation form is, of course, not necessary if a child goes on holiday with both parents or if a parent has sole custody over the minor(s). In the case of sole custody, you must have documents that demonstrate that you have sole custody and that no permission is required. However, if a parent with the joint parental authority travels alone with an underage child, then the other parent with parental authority must give their permission. The same applies if a minor travels with an adult other than the parent(s), for example with a family member. When a minor travels alone, permission from the parents with parental authority will be required. It sometimes happens that the other parent with parental authority does not grant permission for a holiday with the children. A judge can then be asked to grant permission in lieu for the holiday. In such a case, the judge will decide whether the planned holiday is in the interest of the minor.
Permission for travel is granted by completing the form 'Permission to travel abroad with a minor'. This form must also be accompanied by a copy of the ID of the parent(s) with parental authority, as well as an international excerpt from the municipal personal records database (BRP) of the child that contains the details of the parent.
Are you planning to go on holiday with your children and you still have questions? Please do not hesitate to contact me.

It must be stated first and foremost that not only the legal parents of a child have the right of access to the child.

I didn't see the difference in fuel nozzle until it was too late and I'd put over there quarters of a tank in. I thought it would be good but here we are all going funny. It won't go and is making horrible noises. What's the best course of action to get this going?" We can help for sure! We drained the petrol, which he had mistakenly put in the car, and flushed all the fuel tank and system thoroughly. "I'd better be on my way but please let me say thank you. Your engineer was first class". We're always glad to be of help, whether you've put petrol in diesel or diesel in a petrol car we are always here on the end of the phone
So if you're in Tywyn, Gwynedd, Wales our local friendly technicians are always on hand should you have a wrong fuel problem.

The social climate transformed the music: being a jazz musician of color in the 1950s forced you to express music differently in those days. Life and music were tumultuously intertwined. A factory worker by day, Wes Montgomery played Indianapolis' Turf Club at night and swung hard. He may have been asked to arrive through the club's back door, but on stage he ruled the cosmos. He burned with a confident zeal like his idol Charlie Christian, displaying the talent that foreshadowed his rise as the genius of jazz guitar.
This collection is jazz time travel. You suddenly arrive at the Turf Club. The year is 1956 and you make your way through the smoke-filled throng. Here you are amidst a loud but appreciative audience. The Montgomery-Johnson Quintette is playing "How High The Moon" and absolutely cooking.
Next stop is 1958 at Indianapolis' Missile Lounge. Wes is killing on "A Night In Tunisia." Then you're off again to 1949 and Spire Records in Fresno, California. There you hear a 26-year-old Wes bop at full throttle on "King Trotter."
This two-CD set contains 26 tracks of rare, never-before-released music spanning 1949 to '58. Most of the first CD features the Montgomery-Johnson Quintette with Wes on guitar, Buddy Montgomery on piano, Monk Montgomery on bass, Alonzo "Pookie" Johnson on tenor sax, and Sonny Johnson on drums. It also features a complete 1955 recording session for Epic Records produced by Quincy Jones, and live recordings from '57 from the C&C Music Lounge in Chicago. You're treated to an incandescent 12-minute version of "All The Things You Are."
What it lacks in auditory perfection is made up for with warmth; you feel like you're sitting near the band with a living, breathing, and interactive audience. Wes' guitar has an edgier, punchier quality as he goes toe-to-toe with "Pookie" Johnson. These recordings lack the rich atmosphere of his later studio work, but reveal his unbridled flashier side as he spikes beloved jazz standards with Django-esque ornamentations and playful harmonic flourishes. You hear a younger, rawer Wes, playing at the edge of his abilities.
In The Beginning includes a 55-page booklet with track information, rare photographs, excerpts from an unpublished autobiography written by Buddy Montgomery, plus recollections and essays from Jones, Bill Milkowski, Pete Townshend, Ashley Kahn, and producer Zev Feldman.
We have Buddy Montgomery's widow Ann to thank for releasing these historic recordings.

Tropical Storm Fred is forecast to form soon in the Caribbean Sea. Where is it heading?
disturbance in the Caribbean Sea is still right on the cusp of strengthening into Tropical Storm
Fred as it nears Puerto Rico, according to the National Hurricane Center. Although packing tropical-storm level
winds, it still lacks the defined center that would earn it named storm status.
An NOAA Hurricane Hunter aircraft flew through the disturbance Tuesday morning to determine the system's
intensity but as of the hurricane center advisory at 8 p.m., the system remained below tropical storm strength.
Still, it was almost a lock (90% chance) to hit at least tropical storm status. After that, its strength is forecast to
fluctuate over the next several days, leaving the threat to South Florida still uncertain.
On the forecast track, the system could be a tropical storm by the time it passes near or over the U.S. Virgin
Islands and Puerto Rico late Tuesday, and will be near or over Hispaniola's mountainous land on Wednesday,
where it could see some weakening.
Forecasters haven't categorized the system as a tropical storm yet because it remains messy, with no well-defined
center for models to accurately track with, multiple mid-level centers and several active chunks of the system that
are rotating slightly.
But forecasters noted that "conditions appear to be conducive for intensification during the next 24 hours or so"
thanks to low wind shear and strong outflow over the system.
The hurricane center predicts the system will weaken into a tropical depression again by the time it nears the
The Dominican Republic and Haiti. Forecasters expect it to strengthen into a tropical storm again once it nears Cuba
and Florida later this week. The hurricane center now predicts that the storm's maximum sustained winds could
top out near 60 mph at that point.
Most of Florida is in the cone. However, forecasters note that it's still too soon to say if Florida will be affected
because of the long-range forecast's uncertainty.
South Florida could see "significant, widespread flooding" this weekend, said chief meteorologist Craig Setzer of
Miami Herald news partner CBS4.
"A slow-moving tropical storm, passing just south & west of South Florida could bring periods of
torrential rainfall depending on storm's eventual path," Setzer wrote on Twitter.
He said South Florida will have a better idea
He said South Florida will have a better idea of what to expect on Thursday when forecasters can gauge how
Hispaniola's mountainous terrain affected the system. He recommends people start thinking about possible
storm preparations for the weekend.
The disturbance was about 40 miles southeast of Ponce, Puerto Rico, according to the hurricane center's 8 p.m. Tuesday advisory. It was moving west-northwest at 17 mph with maximum sustained winds at 40 mph with higher gusts.
"Heavy rainfall could lead to flash, urban, and small stream flooding and potential mudslides across the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. The greatest threat for flooding impacts will be across the eastern and southeastern portions of Puerto Rico," forecasters wrote..
"There is a risk of wind and rainfall impacts elsewhere in portions of Hispaniola, the Bahamas, and Cuba later this week, although the forecast is more uncertain than usual since the system is still in its formative stage. Interests in these areas should monitor the system's progress and updates to theforecast."
As of the 8 p.m. update, the hurricane center is also tracking a tropical wave a few hundred miles southwest of
the Cabo Verde Islands. It was headed west at about 10 to 15 mph and forecasters gave it a 30% chance of
developing in the next five days.
As Puerto Ricans prepare for their first potential storm of this hurricane season, fuel prices are frozen and 351
schools are available as shelters with a capacity of upholding 39,096 people, Gov. Pedro Pierluisi Urrutia said.
Even though the island has a spike in COVID-19 infections, unvaccinated people will be admitted to the shelters.
However, they will be placed separately from those that already got their two vaccine shots.
"In times of need, you have to attend them all," Pierluisi Urrutia said. "All of our residents are going to be properly served, especially those who lost their homes or have to leave them in the middle of an emergency."
All vaccine sites in Puerto Rico have an electric generator to safeguard the COVID-19 vaccines, the governor said
during the press conference.
Over 120,000 pounds of food are ready to be cooked, if necessary, Pierluisi Urrutia also noted. Meanwhile, Puerto
Rico's Education Department is prepared to deliver 200,000 meals during 20 days, including breakfast, lunch, and
dinner, to those that need it.
Nearly 8,500 Puerto Rico Coast Guard soldiers could be deployed to help this or any other agency during the
The government of the Bahamas on Tuesday issued a tropical storm watch for the Turks and Caicos Islands and
for the southeastern Bahamas, including the Acklins, Crooked Island, Long Cay, the Inaguas, Mayaguana, and the
Ragged Islands.
A tropical storm warning remains in effect for Puerto Rico, including Culebra and Vieques, the U.S. Virgin
Islands, the Dominican Republic on the south coast from Punta Palenque eastward, and on the north coast from
Cabo Frances eastward.
Tropical storm watches remain in effect for Martinique and Guadeloupe, the north coast of the Dominican

Caraway Rye Bread
Recipe: #27676
August 18, 2017
Categories: Breads, Brunch, Christmas, Oven Bake, No Eggs Vegetarian, Yeast Bread, Water, Flour, more
"I love rye bread! It is perfect for making sandwiches and in my opinion, slathered with butter is pure heaven. This bread recipe results in a light-colored, moist, soft rye that is studded with caraway seeds. It is close-grained and tender, yet sturdy enough to hold up to the heaviest onslaught of fillings."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
In a medium-sized mixing bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer, combine the water, sugar, rye flour and yeast, mixing to form a soft batter.
Step 2
Let the mixture rest for 20 minutes; this allows the rye flour to absorb some of the liquid, making the dough easier to knead.
Step 3
Add the remaining ingredients, and mix and knead the dough together — by hand, mixer or bread machine — until it's fairly smooth. The nature of rye dough is to be sticky, so don't be tempted to add too much flour.
Step 4
Place the dough in an oiled bowl or large (8-cup) measure, cover, and let it rise until noticeably puffy, 60 to 90 minutes.
Step 5
Gently deflate the dough, knead it briefly, and shape it into two smooth oval or round loaves; or one long oval loaf. Place them on a lightly greased or parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step 6
Cover the loaves, and let them rise until they're noticeably puffy, about 90 minutes. Towards the end of the rise, preheat the oven to 350°F.
Step 7
Just before they go into the oven, spritz the loaves with water, and slash them about 1/2" deep. The oval loaves look good with one long, vertical slash; the rounds, with two or three shorter slashes across the top.
Step 8
Bake the loaves for 35 to 40 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 205°F to 210°F.
Step 9
The single, larger loaf will bake for 45 to 50 minutes. If the bread appears to be browning too quickly, tent it lightly with foil after 25 minutes of baking.
Step 10
Remove the loaves from the oven, and transfer them to a rack. While still warm, brush them with melted butter, if desired; this will keep their crust soft.
NOTE: If you have access to King Arthur Products, they sell improvers that cause breads to rise perfectly. "Vital Wheat Gluten" or "King Arthur Rye Bread Improver" can be used to provide a best rise. If using, use 3 tablespoons and add it with the flour. King Arthur has a wonderful paper catalog and online catalog as well.
Step 11
3 tablespoons vital wheat gluten or King Arthur Rye Bread Improver (optional, for best rise)
No special items needed.

Old Time Radio Star
Old Time Radio
Born: 1913
Died: November, 1994, Naples, Florida
Howard Miller, a Chicago radio personality from the 1940s through the 1970s, was extraordinarily popular as a pre-rock 'n' roll disc jockey and later as a controversial conservative radio commentator and TV talk-show host.
Over the last decade, his Miller Broadcasting has owned radio stations in Rockford, Geneva and Kewanee in Illinois and in Gainesville and Melbourne, FL.
"He had a showmanship and a charisma that blurted out through the radio," said political commentator Bruce DuMont, a friend and a former producer for Mr. Miller's radio show. "He did not have that mean-spirited atmosphere of some today. He grew up with his audience. He started as a major player in the pre-rock 'n' roll days of radio and records and got involved in people's growing interests in taxes, welfare cheats and crime. He created techniques such the `The People's Lobby.' It urged listener participation in the political process and has since been imitated by others such as Rush Limbaugh."
Mr. Miller was the son of Judge Harry B. Miller, a prominent Republican in the era of Mayor William Hale Thompson. A graduate of Knox College in Galesburg, Mr. Miller served in the Navy in World War II and attended the Kent College of Law before finding a career in radio. He joined CBS as a staff producer in 1945 and then became program director at WIND for four years.
In the mid-1940s, he bought his first radio station, WGIL in Galesburg, and became the youngest radio station licensee in the country.
By 1949, Mr. Miller had a morning show on WIND and quickly dominated a new phenomenon that became known as "drive-time" radio. His patter and record spinning promoted singers and performers such as Patti Page, Pat Boone, Roger Williams and the Four Lads. By the mid-1950s, he was unquestionably the country's foremost disc jockey, and Time Magazine in 1957 called him "probably the nation's single biggest influence on record sales."
Mr. Miller had hoped to run for mayor of Chicago in 1959 and eventually made unsuccessful campaigns for Cook County sheriff and Congress.
Starting in the mid-1960s, he increasingly became the voice of conversatism on his morning WIND show. That came to a controversial end in April 1968 when he made remarks after the murder of Dr. Martin Luther King, commenting about the need to recognize the police and firefighters serving during the disturbances after the assassination. It came across, however, as an alternative to honoring King and caused the station to suspend Mr. Miller.
Mr. Miller subsequently joined WGN, where he did an afternoon show, and took his strong following with him.
His style saw him continuing to be flamboyant and controversial as he attacked protesters, hippies, dissidents and demonstrators while defending the police and political conservatives. He often proved willing to push the limits. He raised funds, for example, for police on the staff of State's Atty. Edward Hanrahan after they had been indicted for shooting and killing Fred Hampton and Mark Clark of the Black Panthers in their apartment on Dec. 4, 1969.

Ride-hailing Services in China Has Ample Room for Improvement as Each User Reports Six Problems, J.D. Power Finds
Ride-hailing users' mobility needs dropped sharply due to the recent COVID-19 outbreak; drivers are experiencing higher economic pressure and the platforms' operating costs are increasing. To deal with the harsh environment, online ride-hailing platforms have taken various measures, such as daily disinfection of cars and placing prevention tips inside cars. Ride-hailing platforms are learning more than this – enhancement of service quality cannot be realized by only one step; it is the result of continuous improvement. The experience accumulated in this special period should be transformed into standardized service procedures which will last beyond this period.
In addition, this crisis teaches us to reflect on the weakness of the business model. Many service industries have their standard self-rescue methods. For instance, the catering industry can turn to take-out services to compensate for part of their losses. Similarly, diversified development can be a way out for ride-hailing companies. The well-known Uber has adopted the diversified development strategy. Apart from driverless cars, it is developing businesses in food delivery and take-out, logistics, and financial services.
The challenge posed by the outbreak highlights the importance of service refinement operation and service quality for mobility platforms. The J.D. Power China 2020 Ride-hailing Service Quality Study released recently shows that the industry's PP100 (problems per 100 users) is relatively high, averaging 575. This means on average each user complains of 5.75 problems. Premier services (486 PP100) generally outperform non-premier services (692 PP100). Overall, the service quality of ride-hailing industry needs to be improved.
The Study covers ten mainstream ride-hailing brands. The finding at brand level shows that during the car hailing, UCAR, DiDi Chuxing and CAOCAO have better performance than the industry average. In terms of other service aspects, such as Getting-In-The-Car, Riding Experience, and Order Payment and Management, B2C premier service brands, especially the mobility brands invested by automotive companies, generally have better performance, e.g. Ruqi Mobility, T3Go, SAIC Mobility, and CAOCAO.
The problems complained by the users mainly lie in two aspects: "Platform Service" and "Driver Service". For both aspects, the steps with the most problems are both the first step, i.e. "Car Hailing" and "Getting-In-The-Car". This finding proves the golden rule of the service industry – there never will be a second chance to make a first impression on customers. Therefore, J.D. Power proposes the following four principles of online ride-hailing services.
Make good use of the golden time to retain users efficiently
As online ride-hailing is a very time-sensitive type of service, "punctuality" and "efficiency" are very crucial in retaining users. The Study finds that if the order response time exceeds five minutes, 41% of the users will choose to cancel the order or change to anther platform; if the driver is more than ten minutes away from the user, 50% of the users will cancel the order. "Golden five minutes" and "golden ten minutes" are key time durations for prevention of losing customers.
For ride-hailing platforms, the difficulty lies in "high efficiency" and "high customer retention rate". The key to achieving high efficiency is optimizing platform efficiency, providing users with the most accurate waiting location and waiting time by improving real-time traffic status update and the algorithm for estimating arrival time. The key to keeping high customer retention rate is to place oneself in users' position and think about what they need.
Honesty is the best way of business; credibility is the best way of making profits
According to the Study, 36% of the users cannot get a ride when the App shows there are cars nearby; over 50% of users report that the real arrival time is 5 to 10 minutes, or even more than 10 minutes longer than the estimated arrival time. When the nearby car status shown on the App deviates from reality, or when the car arrives later than the estimated arrival time, users' favorable impression of the brand will be reduced greatly.
Online ride-hailing platforms should make the car status transparent and update car information for users in a timely manner; they should also improve the algorithm for estimating arrival time and reduce the probability of sending a distant car to a user when there is a closer car available. In addition, the service standards should be perfected. If the driver cannot accept the order or will arrive later than estimated, then the user should be notified properly so that they can make better mobility decisions.
Understand users' needs to deliver caring services
Service provided by drivers is an important part of ride-hailing service and has a direct impact on consumers' impression of the brand. Among the complaints from consumers, many are about drivers' service. The top three problems reported are "The driver's driving habit is not safe enough", "The driver doesn't remind user to look out for cars from behind when getting out of the car", and "The car smells unpleasant". Some users say the driver was very unfriendly when the user brought a pet dog into the car. The numerous complaints show that the service provided by drivers does not satisfy users' needs on many occasions. Therefore, enhancing service training of drivers will be crucial for improving users' online ride-hailing experience and letting users feel they are provided with high quality service and are respected.
Improve customer services to enhance users' trust
Although for the online ride-hailing industry, the number of complaints from users is very high, the Study finds that nearly 90% of users do not want to communicate with customer service about the problems they encounter. Most users think the platforms will not solve the actual problems but only offer some coupons and bypass the problems. The loss of trust will result in decline of loyalty. Therefore, to enhance users' trust, it is crucial to perfect the service system and improve customer service staff's capabilities.
Users communicate with customer service staff in the hope of solving the problems rather than getting temporary consolation such as coupons. To improve the service capability of customer service staff is actually to establish the mechanism of solving the problems. Online ride-hailing platforms should solve the problems for users in a transparent way, avoid oversimplified and superficial solutions, and let users know clearly that their complaints or needs are being treated seriously and the platforms are trying hard to find solutions.
About J.D. Power 2020 China Online Ride-hailing Service Quality Study
The Study conducts interviews and surveys with users of different brands from different regions to find out the problems users encounter in the different steps of online ride-hailing experience. The Study evaluates two major service types: platform service and premier service, and covers the six main steps of the ride-hailing experience – Car Hailing, Getting-In-The-Car, Riding Experience, Getting-Out-Of-The-Car, Payment and Management, and Safety. The service quality is measured by the number of problems reported per one hundred users. Smaller number represents better service quality.

Republican Omar Navarro, who is looking to unseat Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., tore into his opponent and said she is "one of the most divisive figures in the U.S."
Navarro was interviewed on television's "Fox & Friends" on Thursday.
"She is trying to divide people," he said of Waters, one of Trump's most outspoken critics. "What we need to bring back is a balance of unity. We need to make sure we are working with the president of the United States. -- not against his interests.
"Maxine Waters represents probably one of the most divisive figures our country. She is trying to impeach the president. She is trying to fight the president every step of the way."
Waters also has encouraged her supporters to harass members of Trump's Cabinet when they are out in public.
"I'm for America first. I'm for #MAGA. I'm for working with the president and not working against his interests.
He claimed Waters lives in a $4.5 million mansion outside her district.
"I live with the people. I eat with the people. I'm a part of that district."

Every morning, when I arrive downtown a little before 7 a.m., there's a group of people who live in the neighborhood walking their dogs in front of the New York Stock Exchange.
That's nothing unusual now, but 20 years ago, it was unheard of. Almost no one lived downtown. There was no place to live. The Financial District was mostly office space. Nearly 60% of the space was taken up by investment banking, real estate, and insurance companies. Most of the rest of the space was either professional services or government offices.
Today, 64,000 people live downtown.
For real estate owner Bill Rudin, co-chair of Rudin Management Company, the rebirth after the devastation of 9/11 is akin to a miracle.

"There's a whole change in the feeling, the energy downtown," he told me. "You see kids going to school, residents walking in the park, it's an incredible positive legacy for downtown and shows the resiliency of New York City and how we came back from a major trauma."
Rudin ticks off the many changes of the last two decades: the federal government stepping in to help redevelop the infrastructure downtown, with a massive subway hub; ferries that now connect to Brooklyn, Staten Island, Hoboken, and Jersey City; private development stepping in to redevelop the World Trade Center; the redevelopment of the South Street Seaport.
Money Report
Most importantly, he notes, is the changed mix of industries downtown. Many of the old Wall Street firms are gone now in midtown, replaced by media and tech companies including Uber, Spotify, Conde Nast, Vox Media and ESPN.
Yet, even as downtown business leaders gather to reflect on 9/11 and the rebirth of their community, you will hear the same fear many businesses are expressing nationwide: uncertainty over how Covid and the delta variant will alter commuter and buying behavior.
A jeweler implodes, thrives, and implodes again
Jennifer Gandia's family has been running Greenwich St. Jewelers, in the shadow of the World Trade Center, for 45 years.
Prior to 9/11, business was mostly commuters who worked in the financial services, insurance or real estate business, and a smattering of locals.
"Before 9/11, you had a vibrant, fast-paced commercial zone, and an ecosystem of small business, the dry cleaners, the bars, the restaurants," she told me.
After 9/11 business evaporated, "for five years, there was near-desolation. Banks, law firms, and other financial services left," she said.
The store was closed for 10 months and re-opened in 2002. Then, slowly business came back but with a different mix.
"Once the area started rebuilding, we had families moving in, and we started to feel the neighborhood was moving toward revitalization," Gandia said. "Before 9/11, we had a very diverse neighborhood of people who worked in the office buildings. Once it went more residential, it became more affluent, and we pivoted to higher-end fine jewelry and the wedding business."
For the next 15 years, business got steadily better.
Then Covid hit. It closed the store from March through June of 2020. The owners pivoted to online sales and social media to survive. "We had to figure out how to translate an in-store experience virtually. We had to figure out how to talk online to a customer who wanted a wedding ring," she said.
The result: in 2020, in-store sales were down 43%, but web sales were up 203%.
It was the lifeline the store needed to survive. Today, it has 80,000 followers on Instagram.
Try running a bar
It's been a similar story for Michael Keane, the owner of O'Hara's Restaurant and Pub in the shadow of the World Trade Center. His customers have always been a mix of tourists, residents and people who work in the neighborhood.
Like Greenwich Jewelers, the first few years after 9/11 were difficult, then an improvement, then a dip after the financial crisis, and then rebirth.
"After they reopened the 9/11 Memorial on the 10th anniversary, business was great," he told me.
"It was a great nine-year run. Then Covid hit."
They closed for part of last year, then reopened for the second time in February. Business slowly got better. Summer was busy, but August has been notably slower.
"Some people came back into the offices, but now it looks like a lot of them are staying home," he said.
The requirement to ask for a vaccination card is also an issue. "You have four people coming in, one of them might not be vaccinated, so you're not going to come here," he said.
Just trying to survive
The ups and downs — from 9/11 to the financial crisis to Hurricane Sandy to Covid — has left the downtown community proud of its ability to survive, but also exhausted.
"We want to stay in the neighborhood," Jennifer Gandia said, but then admitted they were looking for new space in the neighborhood. "Foot traffic is still very light," she said. "We're just trying to figure out what the next iteration is. We don't know the answer yet."
Same with Michael Keane of O'Hara's: "I'm not going anywhere. I'm staying here," he said.
Like everyone else, he wants to believe that the downtown will bounce back, just like it has from all the other disasters of the last 20 years.
But he's also very clear-eyed about the challenges facing his business: "With 9/11 you knew eventually things would turn around. With Covid, you don't know what's going to happen. So it's really an unknown."
Fighting off the Covid pessimism
Bill Rudin has been around a long time and has seen many ups and downs in the real estate business. He says the pessimism around Covid also existed in the dark days after 9/11.
"Post 9-11, people were afraid to come back downtown," he said. "People said we would never go back again. Now look at it. It's going to take time, but already we are seeing deals being done. The restaurants are filled. Delta has slowed the pace [of recovery], but we have already seen an increase in rental activity."
What about the new, hybrid work environment?
"This will all evolve," Rudin said. "For those who don't want to commute to work, some will get an apartment in lower Manhattan and want to walk to work. People will come in with a fresh point of view. That is what keeps regenerating our industries, and our city."
Jessica Lappin, president of the Downtown Alliance, also recommends looking beyond Covid.
"When you are dealing with downtown New York, we are not talking about 20 years of history, we are talking about 400 years of history," she told me, noting there have been numerous disasters that have befallen downtown and the city over the centuries.
"The one thing we can take from 9/11 is that recoveries do take time. With Covid, we hit the pause button, along with everyone else," she said. "We are not going to bounce back overnight, but we are definitely going to come back. You are crazy to bet against New York."

Good morning everyone. We have a very bright sun out this morning but it cold outside. Last night my daughter and her family came over and brought over a pizza for dinner. Her husband Joe wanted to see my 70 inch TV and after dinner he & I went downstairs and played some pool. He's quite a pool player but I was able to defeat him now since I'm a better player. Earlier in my pool playing life, he & everyone else would beat me but not now. My wife just left to go to Al & Meilin's home. They left to visit a relative and won't be arriving until later tonight. Meilin asked Mary Lou to make sure that she fed this cat that visits their home. Meilin thinks that this cat is like hers.
Today is football Sunday with a twist. During the afternoon I'll also be watching golf, yes golf is back on the TV. Soooooooooo, I'll be flipping the remote to watch everything.
Christmas Quote of the Day
Christmas Sunday Funnies
Christmas Card problem solved!
Last Christmas, grandpa was feeling his age, and found that
shopping for Christmas gifts had become too difficult. So he
decided to send checks to everyone instead.
In each card he wrote, "Buy your own present!" and mailed them
He enjoyed the usual flurry of family festivities, and it was
only after the holiday that he noticed that he had receiving very
few cards in return. Puzzled over this, he went into his study,
intending to write a couple of his relatives and ask what had
happened. It was then, as he cleared off his cluttered desk that
he got his answer. Under a stack of papers, he was horrified to
find the gift checks which he had forgotten to enclose with the
The 4 stages of life: 1. You believe in Santa Claus 2. You don't believe in Santa Claus 3. You dress up as Santa Claus 4. You look like Santa Claus
Why do bells ring at Christmas?
Because someone pulls the rope.
No woman is going to wear the same outfit year after year.
Why did the reindeer wear sunglasses to the beach?
He didn't want to be recognized.
What do you get when Santa Claus goes down a chimney and the fire is lit?
Crisp Kringle.
Who is never hungry at Christmas?
The turkey – he's always stuffed!
What do you give a mummy for Christmas?
Gift wrap.
Why did the elf push his bed into the fireplace?
Because he wanted to sleep like a log.
What do you get when you cross an apple with a Christmas three?
A pine-apple.
I love this time of the year especially knowing that after Christmas is New Years and after New Years is my cruise. You get my drift. Ha,ha,ha. Have a wonderful Sunday everyone. See ya.

Facebook opens pilot program to nurture more gaming streamers
Social network also exploring new monetisation models for creators, including payments during livestreams
Facebook continues its efforts to become a viable platform for content creators with the launch of a pilot program designed to get more streamers using the social network.
The program was announced (but not overtly detailed) via Facebook's developer blog, where the company pledges to assist successful applicants with building engaged communities around their videos and improve discovery of their content via Facebook, Instagram and Oculus sites.
Facebook also says it will equip streamers with the tools required for livestreaming games - such as support for 1080p/60fps streams - and "build a platform where creators at ever level have the opportunity to thrive."
The blog also mentions plans to expand monetisation options for creators, such as being able to receive payments during livestreams.
Essentially, it sounds like Facebook wants to get streamers on board to help guide the company in building a platform that would attempt to rival Twitch, while simultaneously identifying creators that can become the faces of these efforts.
The firm has already laid the foundations with its Facebook Live streaming tools, which has picked up some traction with video games-centric creators. In particular, the company highlights StoneMountain64, whose follower count of over one million makes him one of the most popular livestreamers on Facebook.
"There's a lot of work to be done," Facebook writes, although this is something of an understatement. According to a recent report, Facebook was host to 27,500 active streamers in the last quarter of 2017 - meanwhile, Twitch and YouTube were home to 814,000 and 293,000 respectively.
Whether Facebook can accomplish the rapid growth needed to become a competitive streaming platform for the games industry remains to be seen. Last year, the company told us it was fully committed to expanding its esports coverage, something that could attract more streamers and audiences to the site.
Meanwhile, Microsoft-owned rival Mixer is also making efforts to establish itself with more content creators.

Who Would Your Favorite Disney Characters Play In 'Harry Potter'?
Have you ever wondered where your favorite Disney characters might be in the Harry Potter world? Thanks to Disnerds, we no longer have to wonder.
Two of our favorite things growing up were the Harry Potter series and watching Disney movies. It is fun to imagine what houses we would be in if we were to go to Hogwarts, but have you ever wondered where your favorite characters might have ended up if they had been in the Harry Potter world? Thanks to Disnerds on Facebook, we no longer have to wonder. Imagine how cool it would be to see these Disney characters delivering some of the best lines from the books and movies.
Eric As Harry Potter (The Little Mermaid) Belle As Hermione (Beauty and the Beast) And Young Hercules As Ron (Hercules)
Belle seems like a no brainer, as Hermione's own actress Emma Watson will be performing her in the live-action telling of Beauty and the Beast. Young Hercules would fit Ron pretty well, with his awkwardness but also his want to prove himself. Eric also seems a pretty good fit — the prince who looks the least likely to be a hero, but in the end he did save the day against Ursula. Perfect casting for the infamous trio.
King Triton As Professor Dumbledore (The Little Mermaid)
I could definitely see him playing Michael Gambon's version where he is screaming "HARRY DID YOU PUT YOUR NAME IN THE GOBLET OF FIRE?" He does have the look of Dumbledore, and seems to have a playful and kind side with his daughters, which would translate well to the character.
Yzma As Lord Voldemort (The Emperor's New Groove)
OK, with this one I think the artist was having a little bit of fun, but with her need to rule and her love of potions it isn't too far fetched that Yzma would get along well with "You-Know-Who." She just better label her bottles.
Lady Tremaine As Professor McGonagall (Cinderella)
While it does seem an odd choice, honestly I could see it. Bringing the stern attitude that McGonagall always seemed to have, if we could see her softer side I could completely see it. She definitely has the look if nothing else.
Frollo As Professor Snape (The Hunchback Of Notre Dame)
While this is actually kind of a scary choice, maybe that is the point. Snape always gave me the creeps in the books, though I did love Alan Rickman in the film and he made him much more human. Snape is supposed to be that teacher that you are afraid of and don't like, and the scary Judge Frollo fits that bill perfectly.
Ariel As Ginny Weasley (The Little Mermaid)
While Ariel can seem timid at times, she holds her own in the face of danger, just like Ginny does. She also admired Eric from afar before they had truly met, so on the heroic admiration she would be able to relate to the character of Ginny very easily.
Roger As Lucius Malfoy (101 Dalmatians) And Arthur As Draco Malfoy (Sword In The Stone)
I am not sure that these characters share more than their looks, but that means that their "acting" abilities would be tested, and it would be interesting to see a Disney character stretching outside of the box.
Tweedle Dee And Tweedle Dum As Fred And George Weasley (Alice In Wonderland)
While they aren't exactly who you would picture while reading the books, these two have that same mischievous way about them that our favorite twins do. With their riddles and backward ways, they would be perfect as the troublesome duo of the Weasley family.
Flynn Rider As Neville Longbottom (Tangled)
With his constant knack for getting into trouble, Flynn would be a fun choice to play Neville. It would be interesting to have seen him younger and grow into himself as he "Longbottomed" and became a hot man, as I imagine from his description of his childhood he was kind of awkward as a kid. Still, he would do anything for those he actually cares about, and that is something the two characters share.
Rapunzel As Luna Lovegood (Tangled)
With her wide-eyed look as well as her curiosity, Rapunzel seems to fit the bill for this character. Constantly questioning the world around her and wanting to know more, her bubbly and off-beat personality fits the bill as our favorite Ravenclaw.
Milo Thatch As James Potter (Atlantis The Lost Empire) And Jane Porter As Lily Potter (Tarzan)
While this seems like a bit of a stretch, I think this could actually really work given the personalities. Jane is headstrong and determined, while Milo has that sense of adventure that James also seemed to have. Dye Jane's hair red, and it could work very nicely. Plus, they are both such awkward characters that it would be fun to see them interact.
The Beast/Prince As Professor Lupin (Beauty And The Beast)
The Beast would definitely be able to understand Lupin's pain of the transformation into a werewolf, as well as having to hide himself away — being the monster that everyone expects, and the hesitation to let other people in. These two would connect on a very emotional level, especially if Tonks came in to save him.
Aladdin As Sirius Black (Aladdin)
Aladdin has that mischievous side to him that he shares with Black. Given that he lost his parents when he was young, he would most likely be able to relate to the character of Sirius and how he was isolated from his family when he didn't want to follow their pure-blood ways. And instead of a flying carpet, couldn't you just see him having fun on a flying motorcycle? He would get a kick out of that.
Lawrence As Wormtail (The Princess And The Frog)
In a fun twist of fate, Lawrence was actually voiced by Timothy Spall, the actor who played Wormtail in the Harry Potter movies. As a sneaky character who is only looking out for himself to elevate his place in life, this character fits in well with the traitor that we know and despise, Wormtail. They really are just two peas in a pod, one trying to disguise himself as the prince to gain money and power, the other betraying his friends for the same.
Mulan As Cho Chang (Mulan)
While Cho Chang was portrayed as a bit of a weak character at times, she did show courage when she came back and fought during the Battle of Hogwarts. Mulan is a strong and wise character, and would definitely be able to bring that out of Cho if she were to be her. And hey, who says the revised version of Cho Chang can't be a stronger one?
Gaston As Viktor Krum (Beauty And The Beast)
Krum was initially considered a bit conceited, and he actually had the gall to ask Hermione to the Yule Ball! Gaston would be an interesting choice to play him, as he is used to the praise and adoration from his own cheering section. He would also finally be able to get that date with Belle he had always been hoping for, so you know that he would be willing to jump on that broomstick really quick.
Aurora As Fleur Delacour (Sleeping Beauty)
Considered one of the most beautiful girls anyone had ever seen, Aurora would fit the bill perfectly — her name literally has "beauty" in it. While Fleur isn't given much to do, she did show kindness throughout the series, especially in the last book when she allowed Harry, Ron and Hermione to stay at her house briefly. With her quiet disposition, it would be interesting to see Aurora take on the role of the girl who is part Veela.
Mother Gothel As Bellatrix Lestrange (Tangled)
With her want for power and seeking out magic, Mother Gothel would be an interesting choice for Bellatrix Lestrange. While they share little in common outside of their looks, Mother Gothel is so dramatic and over the top that I am sure she would be able to handle the role very easily.
Quasimodo As Mad-Eye Moody (The Hunchback Of Notre Dame)
Keeping "constant vigilance," Quasimodo would be a good choice as Mad-Eye. With the two sharing a similar look, it would be fun to see the kind-hearted hunchback go around yelling at students and teaching them about the Dark Arts. Given that Quasimodo already has a limp, walking with a peg leg might actually be a help, as well as a new eye. It would be a new and interesting take on the character that I would love to see.
Esmerelda As Professor Trelawney (The Hunchback Of Notre Dame)
Gypsies have been known for their fortune telling, and Esmerelda has already shown Quasimodo that he doesn't have any monster lines. It would be fun to see her take on the over-the-top character of Professor Trelawney and how she would deliver the news of student's fortunes. Just imagine her yelling about "THE GRIM."
Oliver As Crookshanks (Oliver And Company)
And last but not least we can't forget Crookshanks, because really, neither he nor Oliver get the love that they deserve. It would be fun to have the character more involved like he was in the book, though he did kind of disappear after the third one.

Digital Marketing Trends That Are Still Relevant in 2022
As marketers, we are constantly on the move. We must always be training to stay on top of our abilities, looking over our shoulders to find new information, and checking in with the latest trends to see what will help us next month or next year. However, chasing after every trend can only get us so far.
Long-term marketing planning has to be done with groundwork (tactics and strategies) that will ensure a solid foundation. It's important to make use of the ones that have already stood the test of time. Iterations will go a long way in helping marketing activities to push forward. Besides, a lot like the old adage "practice makes perfect," there's only room for growth when time is poured into an endeavour.
Read on to learn more about digital marketing trends that are still relevant in 2022:
Omnichannel Marketing
Omnichannel marketing, as the name suggests, is all about affording possible customers or clients access to support services, products or offers across devices, channels and platforms. A very good example of this is the furniture giant IKEA: they take orders through the phone, their online store, an app or even a local store visit.
Search Intent Is Very Important
Search intent is, as the term suggests, the whole reason a search is done in the first place. Google does its best for search queries to be understood thoroughly, alongside the information being sought's category. Designing and optimising content should be done with search intent being part of the factors.
Looking into SERPs (search engine results pages) needs to be done at this juncture, so that the three Cs of search intent can be pinpointed:
- Content angle (Selling point that's unique: "best," "newest," "latest," and more)
- Content format (List posts, comparisons, reviews, how-to guides and more)
- Content type (Is it a video? Is it a blog post? Is it a product page?)
Word Of Mouth
This is rather self-explanatory, but here are statistics to further explain the point:
From Google, Ogilvy, TNS:
74% of purchasers in the smartphone, auto and beauty categories point to word of mouth as the biggest influence for decisions when it comes to purchasing.
From Nielsen:
Online recommendations are trusted by 66% of respondents from 60 countries.
Recommendations from loved ones (family and friends) are trusted by 83% of respondents from 60 countries.
Video Marketing
Businesses and users alike get a huge boost from the use of video marketing. Some products are best explained or shared through video format instead of written content. Statistics point to video marketing being downright necessary for quite some time.
From Ahrefs:
For the United States, YouTube is the second-most visited website in terms of organic traffic
From Wyzowl:
79% of people have been convinced to buy or download an app or software after watching a video
91% of marketers see videos being more important nowadays given the pandemic
Digital marketing has gotten much more important over the last couple of years, with the online marketplace really expanding. There have been several fads and trends that have since come to pass. Trends that are still relevant in 2022 include video marketing, omnichannel marketing and word of mouth.
