"Marvel At The Jews: If the statistics are right, the Jews constitute but one percent of the human race. It suggests a nebulous dim puff of star dust lost in the blaze of the milky way. Properly, the Jew ought hardly to be heard of; but he is heard of has always been heard of. He is as prominent on the planet as any other people, and his commercial importance is extravagantly out of proportion to the smallness of his bulk.
"His contribution to the world's list of great names in literature, science, art, music, finance, medicine and abstruse learning, are also out of proportion to the weakness of his numbers. He has made a marvelous fight in this world, in all ages; and he has done it with his hands tied behind him. He could be vain of himself and be excused for it.
"The Egyptian, the Babylonian and the Persian rose – filled the planet with sound and splendour then faded to dream-stuff and passed away: The Greek and the Roman followed, and made a vast noise and they were gone. The Jew saw them all, beat them and is now what he always was – exhibiting no decadence, no infirmities of age, no weakening of his parts, no slowing of his energies, no dulling of his alert and aggressive mind. All things are mortal but the Jew: all other forces pass, but he remains. Mark Twain. Circa 1885.

"Israel's Loss – The World's Gain: In some strange and mysterious way the very existence of Israel reminds the people of God... People throughout the world even those who know nothing about the Bible, are vaguely aware that the Jews claim to be the people of God. Those who have even the slightest knowledge of the Bible are aware, sometimes uncomfortably aware that God has made promises to Israel that are everlasting... But there is the strange thing – the very rejection of Jesus by His own brothers, the nation of Israel, sent the good news of God's amazing love into the world. If Jesus had been accepted by the Jews as their Messiah they would no doubt have kept Him to themselves as part of their own exclusive religion. God's promise that all peoples on earth would be blessed through the Jews has already been fulfilled for a thousand million believers today. Prophecy Today, Volume 7, No. 3."

"Quotable Quotes: I know men; and I tell you that Jesus Christ is no mere man. Between Him and every other person in the world, there is no possible term of comparison. Alexander, Caesar, Charlemagne and I have founded empires. But on what did we rest the creations of our genius? Upon force. Jesus Christ founded His empire upon love; and at this hour millions of men would die for Him. By Napoleon Bonaparte." (Christian Action for Israel Newsletter, First Quarter 1991)
"A True Zionist: The letter titled 'Zionist only as a ploy' (July 19-25), which criticizes David Gross' fine piece of July 5-11 on the late Pastor Charles Taze Russell, shows a lack of knowledge of the pastor's teachings about the Jewish people and Israel.
"As I have proved in my book on the Pastor, as a faithful Zionist he urged the Jews not to convert but to remain faithful to the Torah faith.
"Second, he was not the founder of the Jehovah's Witnesses. He did establish an International Bible and Tract Society that published millions of pamphlets espousing the Jewish cause and Israel.
"The name, 'Jehovah's Witnesses' came into being only after Pastor Russell died, and his successors, especially a certain 'judge' Rutherford, betrayed Pastor Russell and became anti-Jewish and anti-Zionist.
"Pastor Russell not only was a true Zionist – he was a true friend of the Jews." (David Horowitz, New York, NY - The Jewish Week, Inc., August 16-22, 1991)
The main reason Pastor Russell did not advocate conversion to the Nominal Christian Church, is because of their trinitarian belief. The Jews believe in one God, and so do Bible Students. They believe the Jewish people will recognize their Messiah in Jacob's last trouble, if not before. Then the Jewish people will call on the Lord to deliver them, and He will fight for them "as in the day of battle." (Zech. 14:1-3)
United Nations (WUP): It never fails, the opening of the annual UN Assemblies usually coincides with the beginning of our High Holy Days, and this year is no exception: The 46th session is faced with a multiple of agenda items including a great many on the Middle East. During their debate, the PLO, the Arabs and their Third World supporters plan to launch their perennial attacks against Israel. Opening day was Yom Kippur, Tuesday, the 17th of September, a date which also marks the 30th anniversary of the death of former UN secretary-general Dag Hammarskjold.
What makes this session's items on the Middle East more newsworthy and eagerly awaited, is the unexpected controversy President Bush sparked by his sharp September 12th statement angrily and bitterly challenging the Likud Government, the American-Jewish Leadership and Lobby and the Congress over the ten billion dollar loan guarantee sought by Prime Minister Shamir which Mr. Bush, during the Gulf war, had asked Israel to delay until now, as he had asked Jerusalem to hold back on the Scud missiles.
Mr. Bush wants 120 days before even the loan can be discussed. Nothing can be more ridiculous. He fears that a debate on the loan now will jeopardize the chance for an October peace conference. On the contrary, by his very request, he has already spoiled the chances for a successful peace conference.
Moreover, his constant stress on Jewish settlements as being "an obstruction to peace" and linking settlements – in any part of historic Israel – with the political issue of the conference, is a betrayal of an earlier pledge to facilitate emigration and settlement of both Soviet and Ethiopian Jews who alone are to benefit from the loan guarantee which Mr. Bush is ignominiously fighting. Shame!
In reply to the following query put to the President during his press conference, namely: "Mr. President, you said that a contentious debate could now actually keep some parties away from the peace table, yet the Israelis claim that those Arabs who have indicated a willingness to participate in the peace process have not made the settlement issue a precondition. They say that's your precondition. As one columnist said this week, it's your obsession. Is that fair?"
He gave this incriminating answer: "Well, I would simply say that I read some charges coming out of a source in Israel that we'd made a deal with the Arabs that we would fight this. That's not true. That is factually incorrect, simply not true. No, it is my judgment, and Jim's, and everybody else's working this problem, and has been for months, that this is the approach we ought to take. Because we don't want a contentious debate on settlements or anything else over there at this juncture. We want to get these parties to the table. And I don't think it's too much to have a 120-day delay. I think Congress should listen carefully to what I am asking for, and I hope they will go along with this..."
Regarding his arguments against Jewish settlements in land biblically decreed for Israel, President Bush might reflect on what one of his main Gulf war generals stated recently after a visit to Israel. Declared General Thomas Kelly, former director for operations of the Joint Chiefs of Staff:
"The West Bank mountains, and especially their approaches, are critical terrain if an enemy secures these passes, Jerusalem and all Israel become uncovered. Without the West Bank, Israel is only eight miles wide at its narrowest point. That makes it indefensible."
The President has acted unwisely. He would have been more American and more in the spirit of his predecessors had he not been tempted by the evil spirit in him to turn away from the more important issues such as a firmer stand against Saddam Hussein who is now rearming his country with lethal weapons. Also he should have dealt more rigorously with the Zionism is racism Resolution.
In a statement released here last week, the Washington-based Heritage Foundation issued a 13-page document entitled "Removing the Stain of the United Nations – Zionism Is Racism Resolution," written by Christopher Cacek, the important document opens thus:
"0ne of the worst stains on the reputation of the UN is the General Assembly's 1975 vote to adopt Resolution 3379 condemning Zionism as a form of racism. While championing so-called national liberation movements throughout the Third World, the UN not only singled out the Jewish nationalist movement for criticism, but in perversion of history, falsely accused Israel of inflicting on others the same kind of injustice – racism – from which the Jews have suffered for centuries..."
This historic document, which this writer would advise every delegate here at the UN to study carefully, cites three basic reasons why the UN is duty-bound to repeal this vicious anti-Semitic Resolution 3379. [Rescission of the 1975 UN resolution declaring Zionism a form of racism was passed by the UN General Assembly December 17, 1991.]
Dear President Bush, this is the season of repentance and atonement. It is never too late even for a President to admit his error, confess his sins and sincerely change his ways! The Founding Fathers of this Republic demand it of you! (Behind The Scenes at the United Nations, 26 September 1991, by David Horowitz)
"Iraq Reveals 'Supergun': Iraq has shown its long-feared 'supergun' – assembled but not operational – to UN inspectors, it was reported Monday.
"The barrel is 172 feet long – eight times longer than a conventional U.S. howitzer. Estimated range: up to 465 miles carrying conventional nuclear or chemical payloads up to 114 pounds.
"Iraq also admits trying to assemble a 'doomsday gun' to reach 200 miles into Israel with 39-inch-diameter shells.
"UN inspectors photographed the gun in the mountains north of Baghdad. They eventually will destroy it under terms of the Persian Gulf war cease-fire.
"The gun long was suspected to exist. 'It just fits the pattern of the huge and varied arsenal' of Saddam Hussein, says Tel Aviv University analyst Joseph Alpher.
UN officials revealed Monday that a U.S. U-2 spy plane flew over Iraq last weekend and photographed suspected weapons sites." (USA Today, August 13, 1991)
Dear Brethren: Grace and peace in the Name of our Beloved Savior!
Although you no doubt know many of the happenings of the takeover by "judge" Rutherford after the demise of our dear Pastor Russell, I am giving you the details as I know them. It was not long after the demise of Brother Russell, that "judge" Rutherford succeeded our Pastor as president of the Society.
In 1920 Rutherford published the booklet Millions Now Living Will Never Die. The booklet stated: "Therefore we may confidently expect that 1925 will mark the return of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and the faithful prophets of old." Needless to say that 1925 came and went without so much as a glimpse of those "faithful prophets."
In 1929/30 a house was constructed in San Diego, California. It was named "BethSarim," meaning "House of the Princes." According to the deed it was for the "faithful men who were named with approval in the Bible at Hebrews the eleventh chapter." The deed was also to have been made out in the name of King David, but for legal purposes this was not permissible. The only known resident was "judge" Rutherford himself. The faithful prophets never showed up.
Years later the truth about "Beth-Sarim" would try to be buried in the past by the very ones who promoted it. The 1975 Yearbook of the Jehovah's Witnesses made mention that the house was built from donations for Rutherford's failing health. The Society to prove the house was built for Rutherford's failing health quoted the book Salvation which mentions Beth-Sarim having been built- in California in 1929/30. Since Jehovah's Witnesses are forbidden to read old literature they cannot know the truth. What exactly did the book Salvation have to say in regard to Beth-Sarim? Exactly the purpose it was originally intended for, the return of the faithful prophets of old.
In the 1920s all Watchtower adherents went advertising the year 1925. Needless to say until this day, seventy years later, none of the faithful prophets of old returned or occupied Beth-Sarim. Most Jehovah's Witness have no idea of a Beth-Sarim. The few who do know prefer to forget. In 1942 Rutherford died. In 1948, Beth-Sarim was quietly and secretly sold. Rutherford had wanted to be buried on the property of Beth-Sarim that he had long used and enjoyed while it awaited the return of the ancient prophets. It never happened! The area was not zoned for the creation of private cemeteries. The neighbors complained that to bury the "judge" where he had requested would lower their property value. It was also felt that Rutherford's prospective tomb would become a monument, visited by Jehovah's Witnesses from far and near. Hence, local officials refused to issue a burial permit. Watch Tower publications asserted bitterly that this was simply a last act of spite by the Devil's organization against Jehovah's faithful departed spokesman. The local Witnesses carried on a three-months battle to honor Rutherford's last wish.
According to the Watchtower when San Diego County officials finally refused to honor Rutherford's request, his remains were laid to rest in Rossville, New York, and were quickly forgotten by all but a few close friends. Beth-Sarim was also forgotten.
Years later it was to be divulged that all of Beth-Sarim was not sold. According to its new owners a small plot of land was still owned and held by the Society. A plot of land which would later be revealed as a grave. In a private conversation with Frederick Franz, current president of the Society, he was questioned about this "grave," he bluntly stated: "Brother Rutherford is buried there!" Joseph Franklin Rutherford is buried there in an unmarked grave. He got his dying wish and so all the towns people and officials of San Diego, California, and all Jehovah's Witnesses were deceived into believing Rutherford was buried in Rossville, New York – lied to by the 'Faithful and Discreet Slave' class, God's channel of communication.
The Witnesses claim to be God's organization on earth since 1914. God's organization (?) has made gross errors and false predictions during their reign, and are still doing so. When God's organization is on earth during His thousand-year reign, there will be no mistakes, no errors, for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord. As Zeph. 3:9 assures us, He will then turn over a "pure language" to the people – a language all will understand.
God bless you as you seek to serve Him in sincerity and in truth.
Yours in His service, -------------- – (NEW YORK)

'Eastern Naval Area' as defined by the occupying SL Navy [Image courtesy: navy.lk]
There are 13 so-called 'Commissioned Navy Bases' in the Eastern Naval Area of the SL Navy [Image courtesy: navy.lk]
The lands that belong to private owners have been illegally occupied since 2009 and there are crucial evidences still intact in the area, the people say.
Despite repeated complaints against the move to seize the lands for military purposes, the SL Land Ministry and Land Department officials have given green signal for the seizure, civil sources in Mullaiththeevu said.
In the meantime, SL Forest Department and Wildlife Department are planning to take over more lands in Vanni, the sources further said.
So far, the occupying SL Army has been concentrating on seizing strategic locations, fertile farmlands, industrial zones and settlement areas for Sinhala colonies. But, the SLA has also been demanding 'Forest Lands', the sources further said.
The SL Navy 'Gotabaya' camp was initially launched as a Naval Deployment (ND) in January 2011 and was later upgraded as a Commissioned Naval Base (CNB) with the title 'Sri Lanka Naval Ship Gotabhaya' in 2012.
The SL Navy has put up barbed-wire fences annexing the seized lands with SLNS Gotabhaya.
Several naval detachments connected to 'Gotabhaya' are functioning in areas subjected to demographic and structural genocide in Naayaa'ru and Kokku'laay areas of Karai-thu'raip-pattu division.
The 'SLNS Gotabaya' comes under the so-called Eastern Naval Area of the SL Navy Command, which has its central command at Trincomalee.
The ENA covers the longest eastern belt of the occupied country of Eezham Tamils, and consists of 13 Commissioned Naval Bases (CNBs). The ENA is the largest establishment within the SL Navy in the entire island.

text: Madcow Report post Posted July 28, 2011 He waited patiently, hoping his reasoning was enough to convince her. Roman watched her pretty little face, his eyes searching for a response. Within a moment he felt her hand run down his arm, a tingle running through it before her fingers caught his, watching and feeling her pulling away from him towards the flowers. A smile lit up his face, thankful to see the change of her opinion. The tug and smirk on her lips was something he couldn't resist, following her a few steps behind as she wandered into the field, taking his time just watching her. The way she bent down to smell the flowers, glanced back to make sure he was still there, it made him smile, inwardly and outwardly. He just wanted to stand there, hands in his pockets, watching her. It wasn't until she spoke again, calling back to him, that he took another few steps through the field, eyes down on the flowers as he thought about how he had found the place. It wasn't an extremely exciting story, but if she wanted to know, he'd tell her. "Well I was out here with my good friend Henry when we were, oh, 'bout twelve," he started as he got closer to her, bending to pick a pink and orange flower on the way. "We were just being boys, you know, exploring and stuff. And we just stumbled upon it," he said, squatting down next to her once he made it to her, smiling over at her and holding out the flowers. "Nothing too exciting or anythin'," Roman added with a shrug. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

After years of complaints from regulators and consumers about deceptive sites listing secondary ticketing inventory through the AdWords platform, Google has issued new guidelines that could significantly restrict deceptive ticketing advertising on the site.
After complaints in both the U.K. and by New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman about how StubHub, Viagogo and other ticket broker sites sometimes confuse consumers regarding whether tickets are for sale by the primary seller or being resold by scalpers, Google has issued new guidelines for ticket resellers and is forcing them to prove their compliance through a certification process beginning in January.
"This could be the biggest news in ticketing," said Patrick Ryan with ticket pricing and distribution company Eventellect. "The fact that websites will no longer be allowed to use deceptive words in the URLs will greatly help primary sites as well as companies like Stubhub and SeatGeek which have focused on building brands," he added. "This ensures fans won't get misled by web sites that use words like 'official,' 'box office,' or the venue's name"
Below are the new rules for resale sites advertising tickets on Google AdWords:
Ticket resellers must disclose they are not the primary ticketing provider
Resale sites need to have language that's "easily visible and clearly explained in the top 20% of the reseller's website" detailing that tickets on the site are being resold and not sourced directly from the artist, team or content provider.
Ban on deceptive site names and URLS
Resellers can't imply they are "official" or "approved" resellers, a practice Viagogo is often criticized for, claiming it is an "official site" for concert tickets. Scalpers also can't create website URLs that deceive consumers with references to the artist or venue name.
"For example, you can't use 'ArtistNameTickets.com' or 'VenueNameTickets.com' as your URL," according to the new guidelines.
Notify consumers that cheaper tickets can be found on the primary
Resellers have to do more to disclose to fans that they are marking up tickets prices and that cheaper tickets can be found through direct ticketing channels like Ticketmaster.
"Resellers must prominently disclose that ticket prices are higher than face value (meaning the price offered by the primary provider)," the guidelines read. "This disclosure should be easily visible, including on the home page and any landing pages."
Clear cost and fee breakdown prior to checkout
"Resellers must also provide a price breakdown during the checkout process and before the customer provides payment information," the guidelines explain. "The breakdown should show the specific costs added, such as taxes and any fees that have been added to the face value of the tickets."
Face value disclosure
Starting in March, resellers will need to disclose the face value of a ticket as well as a breakdown of the reseller's price, in the same currency.
"It will likely be impossible for Google to sell key words to resale sites if they remain strict about the disclosure of face value," Ryan explained. "It's just impossible to properly define face value because some tickets resold were bought at a lower season ticket price, some at a single event price, and some at an inflated premium price."
Secondary ticket sites must certify with Google they are compliant with the new rules — primary ticketing companies are not required to certify to advertise through AdWords.
"Aggregators of event tickets, auction sites, and marketplaces that allow ticket resale are also required to be certified," the guidelines read. "Certification will start in January 2018. Google will review your application and notify you of your certification status. Once you're certified, you can start advertising immediately."

MET Opera Live: Agrippina
Rating: NR
Duration: 4h 10m
Stars: TBC
Directed by: TBC
Synopsis: Handel's tale of intrigue and impropriety in ancient Rome receives its first Met performances, with star mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato as the controlling, power-hungry Agrippina and Harry Bicket conducting. Sir David McVicar's production ingeniously reframes the action of this black comedy about the abuse of power to "the present," where it should loudly resonate. The all-star cast features mezzo-soprano Kate Lindsey as Agrippina's son and future emperor Nerone, soprano Brenda Rae as the seductive Poppea, countertenor Iestyn Davies as the ambitious officer Ottone, and bass Matthew Rose as the weary emperor Claudius.

My favorite season has arrived! It is finally Summer in Korea! The season is short-lived in Northern Asia, as Winters are long and seasonal changes occur frequently. Catching some days in the sun is imperative to surviving Korea's long brutal Winter months.Read More

One of the longest breaks you will have as a ChungDahm teacher is during the Korean holiday of Chuseok (Korean Thanksgiving). The other major holiday would be Seollnal (Lunar New Years). Whenever these holidays approach, I always take the time to leave the city. In times past, I've visited Malaysia, Manila, and Busan. We have had teachers visit Hong Kong and Thailand during this long vacation too. This year, I decided to take time and go to a place that I had been to before but never got a really chance to explore. This place I decided to go back to was Jeju.Read More

Summers in Korea are quite active! People are outside and using the long days to fit in as many activities as possible. Luckily, this summer Busan has not experienced a heavy rainy season, often called monsoon season. So I have had many opportunities to do outdoor activities after work or on the weekends, without fear of getting rained out. The best part about many of the outdoor things you can do while teaching in Korea is that they are free!Read More

Korea does not come to mind, when I think of white sand beaches and blue sunny skies. However, with a little bit of digging during my time teaching in Korea, I discovered that Korea does indeed have white sand beaches and places that have a beach culture. Coming from South Africa myself I decided to search for a piece of Summer paradise by traveling and experiencing various places in Korea. Over the years, I fell in love with a few beaches in Korea that are situated in various provinces all over the country and have come to choose my favorite beaches according to my mood and vibe I would like to enjoy during a weekend getaway.Read More

The ITU World Triathlon Championships was held this past weekend in Tongyeong. Every year,Olympic triathletes and professional athletes travel to South Korea to race in the beautiful city with scenic views. A friend of mine was racing in the event and I thought it would be a perfect opportunity to experience a region of Korea I haven't ventured to before.

One of the greatest things about teaching and living abroad is traveling. Korea is one of the easiest countries to travel around. With some of the most efficient transport systems in the world, you can visit great cities and experience awesome weekend getaways conveniently.

Thanks to the welcomed influx of extra cash from Chungdahm summer intensives, I've been enjoying a bit of a travel binge as of late. And by travel binge I mean I've ventured out of the city the past two weekends, but hey I never said I was the next Anthony Bourdain. Anyway, this past weekend I headed out to Boryeong (yes, the Mud Fest place) to celebrate my friend's upcoming nuptials, and what better way to celebrate than by packing 13 dudes into a pension house? Nothing like a nice bro-fest to really make you miss your fiancé! But all hilarious joking aside, kicking back at a pension house is one of the best ways to spend a weekend here in South Korea.
The concept of the pension house is not a type of lodging that is exactly common in the United States, but here they are quite prevalent. The pension house is an excellent compromise for the pampered vacationer and the avid outdoorsman, providing a happy medium with a roof over your head but without the frills of an actual hotel. Essentially, it is like renting a partially furnished house for the weekend.

Much like in my past life at university when I was sucked into the "Elon bubble," all too often I find myself stuck in the pleasant and comforting confines of the "Daejeon bubble." But sometimes I feel like I am in an old Southwest Airlines commercial and I just need to get away. With Chuseok offering the first three-day break of my Chungdahm career, I felt I needed to seize the chance to get out of Dodge so to speak. So a couple of friends and I took a well-deserved trip to Busan to soak up some rays and take in the sights of Korea's most famous beach city.

Gangwondo Province surprised me. After living in Korea for three years I thought I had seen it all. Gangwondo was very different to the usual countryside hills and rice paddy plains. It was mountainous and green, and had a surprisingly different farming atmosphere. Instead of rice, there was copious amounts of potatoes, and instead of bulgogi, there was delicious octopus stir-fry. I enjoyed seeing the rocky mountain tops and the sea below while driving on a winding mountain pass. Not only is the province beautiful, but it is also rich with lots of adventurous activities. Hiking, beaches, temple stays, white river rafting, winter skiing, and casinos!

Did you know that Korea has over 3,000 islands off its coasts? Did you know that dozens of these are right off the coast of Incheon? I haven't spent nearly enough time exploring the islands in my area, so I decided that I needed to make up for lost time. The long weekend for the Chuseok holiday seemed like a perfect opportunity to spend time on a beach, so some friends and I headed off to Muuido, one of Incheon's most popular islands, for some quality relaxation time.

Sinchon Hwangso Gopchang • 신촌황소곱창
Visited Sinchon Hwangso Gopchang, which apparently one of the most popular gopchang 맛집 around Sinchon area. I was looking forward trying out gopchang, but my friend who ordered for all of us ended up ordering daechang (대창) (large intestine) instead (I think). Anyway, after our order came out, we have to wait for a good while. After a couple of minutes of waiting, the ahjummoni came over to our table and pretty much cooked the whole thing. After that, it's another couple of minutes of waiting time again. I think this is probably not a good place to go when you really hungry and want to eat right away.
After they say it's all cooked and ready to be eaten, we started eating. It's my first time eating daechang and it certainly has an interesting taste. It has rubbery and chewy texture and after eating a couple of pieces, it's very oily. I'm not quite sure if I like it or hate it. I might need to give it another go :p Anyway, we also ordered the fried rice, so after we ate all the daechang, they cooked the fried rice in front of us. Next time I come here, I'll try their famous gopchang for sure.

There's a little story about this brand. I signed up to a site called Blogger's Hub a little while ago, out of curiosity more than anything. Their mailers begin with "Brands Are Waiting To Gift You". Now, I thought that perhaps I could access brands from other countries which are much harder to source from the UK than anything that's readily stocked here, and sure enough, after several of these emails (offering to gift anything from scarves and jewellery to cosmetics), I found Artonitmakeup. Which looks absolutely amazing – different, at least and certainly something we don't have in the UK.
So, I ticked the 'Gift Me' box, which led to a form asking which products I'd like to be 'gifted', so I filled that out too, with my name, address and blog.
I got an email this morning from the brand, Artonitmakeup, saying they 'gift' 3 bloggers per month; "We will send your information to our marketing department. They will choose 3 bloggers a month to review our products. If you are selected an email requesting your shipping address will be sent by 1/28/2015. Wishing you all the luck!!!"
Which, I think you will agree, is a very different thing to the brand 'waiting to gift'! So, now Blogger Hub has all my details and so does Artonitmakeup – god knows what mailing lists these will end up on. I think it's pretty poor that a brand who only ever gives out 3 products to bloggers per month (no problem with that at all…and no problem with buying products either, if they're accessible) goes out as a 'brand waiting to gift' in a mailer.
I feel like an idiot for not trusting my sixth sense on this one, and suggest that you avoid it like the plague.

I noticed that some brands on there also say about gifting but then try to sell you the product instead :-/ I signed up as i was curious and they reached out to me and sent me an exclusive invite for the launch but I'm not 100% sure what their angle is
Charlotte xx
I got the exact same email from them! To me it sounded like each brand had a good handful of products for bloggers to try!
Thanks for letting me know about this. Great post.
I hope you don't get spammed too much there's nothing worse. xox
Oops should have read this post about 30 minutes ago! Oh well, I'll see what happens from signing up…

Most people associate a trip to the chiropractor with helping relieve back pain or headaches. But chiropractic care is much more than that! At Foster Chiropractic we practice a holistic approach, and our attention to overall health and wellness, coupled with chiropractic care, can help with many different things that affect your health. Here are just a few.
ADHD. As kids head back to school, many who suffer from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder find it hard to concentrate. Many times parents resort to medication to help their kids focus. Chiropractic care can also help. Aligning the spine helps foster effective nerve flow, restoring balance the mind and body.
Bedwetting. Chiropractic alignments can help with the nerves that control the organs of the urinary system, helping prevent bedwetting in children. A study in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics found that in a study of 171 children, one quarter of them showed a 50 percent decrease in incidence of bedwetting when under chiropractic care.
TMJ. People who suffer from TMJ have jaw pain that affects their daily life and can lead to grinding teeth and even arthritis. A chiropractor can help align the jaw to alleviate pain, as well as helping give options for daily living that will help decrease symptoms. Many of our patients get their jaws adjusted in the office prior to getting a mouth guard as well. It's important that dental devices reinforce correct jaw positioning.
Ease the Pain of Childbirth. When women are pregnant, sometimes the weight gain can lead to instability and increased back pain. As medication options are limited, chiropractic care is often turned to, and the alignments can help improve the position of the back and decrease pain. Newborns with colic and gas are commonly treated in our office to provide baby relief, and give parents some sleep.
Digestive Issues. It's pretty easy to see from the examples listed above that the spine and the nervous system play a part in all bodily systems. Therefore it makes sense that misalignment of the nerves can affect the digestive system. It can cause an increase in acid production that leads to heartburn and indigestion. Chiropractic care will help alleviate symptoms, and consultations with the chiropractor can also help provide healthier lifestyle choices for overall better health.
Boost Immunity. In addition to eating those blueberries and drinking green tea, a trip to the chiropractor can help fight off disease. Aligning the spinal and keeping the nerves in top working order frees up the immune system to fight off intruders.
The list goes on and on as you can see, chiropractic care helps people feel better in many different ways. We're not here to focus totally on back pain. Dr. Scott Foster is not only certified to treat extremities as well, but his holistic approach to wellness helps improve the well being of his patients in all facets of their life. Make a consultation today to see how we can help you feel better and stay active. Get adjusted to feeling great!

The truth pressed at Becca's throat.She swallowed it back.Took a breath.Risked looking toward Flynn.Beneath his black ball cap, his reddish-brown hair glinted in the afternoon sunlight, almost as blinding as the rippling river. His jaw was a hard line. She couldn't look him in the eye.The truth pressed on her once more.Becca swallowed it again.She and the truth had an odd track record. Like the time her father walked out after learning Becca's mother had Stage Four cancer. Or the first time Terry asked her to marry him. He'd walked out when she said she was scared and needed time to think."You have two choices if you want the job." Flynn's voice was as unflappable as his jaw line. "You can tell me what you're hiding, or I can do a background check."Tell him the truth? Which version? No one ever really wanted to hear the unvarnished truth. They wanted a massaged answer tailored to their expectations. Telling Flynn about the lawsuit placed her odds of landing the job near zero. But it was a definite zero if she walked away without saying anything."I want this job." She swallowed and rephrased. "I need this job." To repair her reputation before it fell from somewhere near barely employable to no-way-in-Hades employable.

For the 10th time in 12 editions, Cape Town has been selected as the first stop of the Volvo Ocean Race route. A worldwide sailing competition, the Volvo Ocean Race features seven opposing sailing teams for an ocean world tour.
40 years ago Cape Town welcomed a leg of the Whitbread Round the World Race, now called the Volvo Ocean Race. Ever since, the city was selected for 10 editions. This international competition is a nine month race with 39 000 nautical miles crossed by the yachts. This year, the Mother City was selected to be the first stop off, and the only one in Africa. Having started in Alicante Spain, the competition will end in Sweden, going through all of the seven continents. Each stop off represents the competitor's continent, and the cities have been selected meticulously.
Cape Town, as the first stop, hosts the Open Oceans festival for 20 days. Giving honour to the ocean but also the African culture as shows, exhibitions and animations have been settled in the Volvo Ocean Race village at the V&A Waterfront. From kayaking activities to yacht exhibitions and meeting with the teams. Music shows, dances, and artists highlight the beauty of the African culture to vistors. The first yachts arrived on November 7th and after an in-port race that took place on the weekend of the 15th, the competition will start again on the 19th to head to Abu Dhabi.
To host the event, the city had to put some incredible logistical skills to practise. Known worldwide, it brought a large number of visitors,including the sailing teams, their technical staff and their supporters. As usual, Cape Town, took up the challenge. South Africa shows once again, its world-class rank as an international venue, and demonstrates its touristic and MICE assets.
The Mother City was chosen to represent Africa in this competition, more than having the assets to host world class events, Cape Town is the symbol of Africa's Renewal. "Cape Town is an iconic city and the sight of Table Mountain on the horizon as you approach the port at the end of leg 1 is something every ocean racer looks forward to" said Knut Frostad, CEO of the Volvo Ocean Race. No one ever gets used to the view of the impressive table mountain that dominates the city.
Having already hosted sailing events, and having all the natural assets to develop this premium sport, the city announced a partnership with WorldSport and the V&A waterfront. This partnership will result in an ocean legacy programme who's purpose is ''to create a new generation of South African ocean sailing legends'' according to Bruce Parker Forsyth, CEO of WorldSport.
Already on the right track, Cape Town might become an exceptional sailing city.

If you're looking for a skiing holiday filled with freestyling on snowboards, skis and twin tips, you've come to the right place. Idre Fjälls snowpark gives you fat jumps and long rails, in four different levels of difficulty.
Here, skiers of all levels can get outlet for their action minds among jumps, rails, boxes and other fun. The snow park is located by itself and has two own lifts that only serve the park skiers.
Our park complies with Skidförbundets and SLAO's requirements for a snowpark, which means that it is pisted and marked every day. SLAO stands for The Swedish Liftresorts Organisation and is the industry and association of ski resorts. They work for fun and safe skiing experiences.
In the park there are four lines of the same difficulty as our other backs; green, blue, red and black, something that suits everyone. Rail on long rails or make cool jumps.
SLAO has developed "Yellow book" which is a collection of rules and tips for anyone enjoying ski resorts. Among other things, everyone who skis in areas with downhill skiing and snowparks should:
The snow park can be fun, but the first time it may seem a little confusing and dangerous. Make sure you have some experience in some red pistes before taking on a snow park and always start with the easyest options.
Pay attention to who is in the park and what they are doing or seem to plan to avoid a crash. It is safer to behave predictably in all slopes. Study others in the park while waiting for your trip, how fast they go in and out of the challenges on the track.
Do not go too close behind another rider, if the rider falls you will both crash. Wait until the rider before you get out of the landing area before starting to ski.
Everyone learns in security equipment. Invest in a good helmet above all. Do not be fooled by the professionals who seem to be able to do all the tricks completely without security equipment. It's very bad to hit or hit the hard surfaces of the snowpark and you can really hurt yourself.

maple-roasted beet hummus
3-4 small beets
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp maple syrup
3 garlic cloves, peeled
A few fresh thyme sprigs
1 small can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
2 tsp dill
Dash of cumin (optional)
1 tbsp tahini
Juice from ½ of a lemon
Sea salt and pepper to taste
make it
-Preheat your oven to 350. Wash and peel the beets. Chop into small cubes and add to a baking dish or sheet pan. Throw in the garlic cloves (whole) and drizzle with olive oil and maple syrup. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss everything until well coated. Add fresh thyme sprigs over top. Place in the oven to roast for 30-40 minutes.
-After 30 minutes use a fork to pierce the beets to check if they are soft. If they are still hard, place back in the oven and continue roasting for 5-10 minutes. Once they
are fully cooked, remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
-To a food processor or blender add the chickpeas, dill, cumin (if using), tahini, lemon juice and a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
-Once the beets are cooled, remove the thyme sprigs. Add the beets and garlic to the
food processor as well.
-Puree everything on high until well combined. You may need to scrape down the
sides after a few minutes to get everything pureed. You can add a splash of olive oil
or water to help things along if you find it's too dry. Adding a bit more liquid will
also help make a smoother hummus.
-Once the hummus is smooth, taste it to see if you need to change up the seasoning.
You have control here to season as you'd like! Feel free to add more lemon juice, dill,
cumin, salt and pepper as necessary.
-Place hummus in the fridge to chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. Store in
an air-tight container for up to 5 days.
We LOVE hummus in our household. It's one of those staple foods that we always have in our fridge. I have a habit of snacking while I cook and hummus with rice crackers just so happens to be one of my favourite appetizers. I always make sure we have it in our kitchen because it's so easy to add into lunches and snacks. I mainly love it because it packs a good source of protein and fiber, which are two important nutrients that help keep you feeling full longer.
Now let's talk about fiber. This nutrient is a rock star when it comes to improving your digestion and the truth is most people are not getting enough in their diet. Fibre also helps prevent constipation and bulks the stool. Bulking the stool is important as this helps remove waste and toxins from the body. No one wants to be constipated because, let's be honest, it feels horrible and can really impact your well-being. The bottom line is you need to think of your digestion as the basis for your overall health. Our digestive system is responsible for breaking down our food and absorbing vitamins and minerals. If your digestion is not moving or working properly then the body as a whole will suffer.
We can get a good source of fiber from foods like whole grains, beans/legumes, vegetables, fruit, nuts and seeds. Traditional recommendations for fiber intake per day are 25 grams for women, and 38 grams for men. However, this is really a bare minimum requirement and is probably an out-dated recommendation. Given the number of clients I see with digestive issues, I will always recommend more. If your diet is currently lacking fiber from whole foods, I would not recommend increasing your intake tenfold after reading this post. If your body is not used to it, the drastic increase in fiber could backfire on you. Take it easy on your body initially and slowly add in more whole foods. With fiber you must remember to add in more water as well. Increased fiber intake without water is not a fun situation either and will lead to constipation. As long as you are drinking water throughout the day with your increased fiber, your bowels will be healthy and happy.
If you're looking for ways to up your fibre intake then look no further! Chickpeas, the main ingredient in hummus, pack a whopping 17 grams of fibre per half cup serving! Trust me when I say with this recipe you will have no problem consuming a ½ cup portion!
Whenever you can, I highly suggest making your own hummus at home. Mainly because it tastes so much better than store bought! And this way you avoid the nasty junk that can be added into packaged hummus like canola oil, soybean oil and preservatives like postassium sorbate. It's so simple to make your own- all you need is a food processor, or blender if you have the patience for it (I personally can't stand having to scrape out my blender and dig hummus out from under the blades, so I stick with my food processor). You can also get creative with your hummus when you make it from scratch, which is my favourite part! Start with the base of chickpeas, tahini, garlic, lemon and olive oil and figure out your add-ins! I love adding fresh dill, avocado or roasted sweet potato. So good! This was my first time adding in beets to my hummus and it certainly won't be the last time.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Star Wars holds the distinction as the most beloved movie series in all history. Few franchises evoke the mix of high tech and mythic sorcery, all while introducing the most creative environments movies have ever known. Star Wars characters, vehicles, dialogue and locations have all entered the popular lexicon from preschool to politics, and with the recent revival of the franchise by Disney, the franchise shows no signs of retreating into memory anytime soon.
For all the wonder of the series, however, and as great as the series can be, it can also be, well, pretty bad. In fact, Star Wars has, by turns, been completely godawful from time to time. We here at Screen Rant hold the series in the highest regard. That said, even die-hard devotees like us have a problem stomaching certain moments in the franchise. We don't want to dwell on the unpleasant, but since Rogue One invites us all to revisit the series, remembering some of the historic lows of Star Wars is in order. Put away the lightsabers, here come the 15 Worst Moments In Star Wars!
15 "Here everything is soft and smooth." – Attack Of The Clones
George Lucas is a family man. The proud father of three grown children, he and his new wife Melody welcomed his fourth child in 2013. Despite his previous marriage to Oscar-winning editor Marcia Lucas, and a prolonged affair with singer/actress Linda Ronstadt in the 1980s, George apparently doesn't have much of a way with women.
His dialogue, by his own admission, underlines that sentiment. This phenomenon becomes most obvious in the painful love scenes of Attack of the Clones when Anakin Skywalker waxes poetic by telling Padme she doesn't feel like sand. And then she marries the guy?! Forget the mood swings. Forget the murderous impulses. Forget the mental instability. Padme's love for a man with such a goofy concept of a compliment makes the audience question her sanity! If the Original Trilogy emphasized the space portion of "space opera," the prequels underline the operatic elements. With that in mind, Anakin's love dialogue strikes a note way off key!
14 The bad wampa suit - The Empire Strikes Back
Die-hard fans of the Original Trilogy no doubt know that the early scenes on Hoth originally included a series of wampa attacks, not limited to the one on Luke. Wampas would have attacked the Echo Base en masse, breaking down walls and killing poor tauntauns. Imperial troops would have also encountered the murderous beasts when they entered the base. Said scenes—Luke's run-in included—proved disastrous however when the wampa suit looked plain ridiculous on camera.
The Special Edition of The Empire Strikes Back includes several new scenes of the wampa, largely because George Lucas and director Irvin Kershner both hated the way the suit looked. As Kershner observed in his DVD commentary, the film more implied the beast rather than show it out of necessity. That shows even in the theatrical cut of the movie, when brief shots of the wampa look more like a Muppet than a yeti. For a series that prides itself so much on effects, the wampa hits an eye-rolling low.
13 "NOOOOOO" - Revenge Of The Sith
What is it with characters shouting "noooooooo" in Star Wars movies? It happens in just about every outing, sometimes to good effect, and others, to distraction. Case in point: the "birth of Vader" sequence in Revenge of the Sith. 2005 marked not only the end of the Prequel Trilogy, but the brief return of the legendary James Earl Jones to the role of Darth Vader. As fans watched with held breath, Vader, dressed in his iconic suit, suddenly became the feared villain of the Original Trilogy. Then, of course, Vader bellows a clunker of a line with his howling "noooo!"
Fans echoed the sentiment, though in a different way. The operatic nature of the prequels made them hard to stomach in contrast to the more gritty and grounded approach to the Original Trilogy. Seeing an Original Trilogy character like Vader incarnated in this operatic form made the scene—one of considerable dramatic weight—distracting rather than moving. Vader's destruction of the medlab, however, almost made up for the perceived silliness of it all. Almost.
12 Kylo Ren takes off his helmet - The Force Awakens
The Force Awakens went to great lengths to evoke nostalgia for the Original Trilogy, including providing a black-clad, mask wearing villain in the character of Kylo Ren. To the credit of writer Michael Arndt, who concocted the character during his tenure working on the script, Kylo has a fantastic backstory. As the son of Han & Leia, and the grandson of Darth Vader, Kylo (nee' Ben Solo) seeks to use his knowledge of the Force to wipe out the Jedi order and fulfill his granddad's legacy.
As a character, Kylo Ren compels the audience for the first two thirds of the movie. Then The Force Awakens makes a bad choice — Kylo removes his helmet. As audiences beheld the face of Adam Driver, snickers erupted in the theatre. Driver, regardless of his acting ability, does not have the kind of charisma or physical presence for an intimidating villain. Audiences might think that was the point: that Ben wasn't supposed to be scary, though the first 2/3s of the film suggest otherwise. Either way, including the snicker-inducing scene derailed a good deal of the dramatic tension The Force Awakens had built to that point. The script, for the record, contained a better idea: as written, Ben would not have removed his helmet until his confrontation with Han Solo.
11 Charal turns into a bird - Battle for Endor
The television Ewok films continue to divide Star Wars fans. While some admire them for their universe-expanding stories (they are, after all, the original anthology movies), other fans can't stand the sight of the cuddly Ewoks in their life-and-death adventures. Fans generally regard The Battle for Endor as the superior of the two Ewok films, in part because of some great action sequences, and some interesting villains. Actress Sian Phillips plays the villainess Charal, and provides the film with some much-needed menace. Even then, however, The Battle for Endor makes some questionable choices.
In particular, Charal's magical ability to transform into a bird raises a few eyebrows. Star Wars, of course, relies on magical and mythical storytelling tropes, though the series had avoided a vulgar use of magical elements to that point. Seeing Charal transform feels more like a scene out of Harry Potter than Star Wars, and the use of magical conventions, no doubt, is one element that makes fans question the creative choices of the Ewok films. That said, Phillips does give the role her all, and given the introduction of the Force witches the Nightsisters to canon, maybe animal transformations can have a reasonable explanation.
10 Itchy Watches a porno - Holiday Special
The Star Wars Holiday Special reeks of bad 1970s variety shows and the overwrought Star Wars mania that the original film unleashed upon the world. Star Wars fandom, like the Star Wars stories, has evolved considerably from its early days of Harvey Corman cameos and Bea Arthur musical numbers… thank God!
The Holiday Special contains some of the most cringe-inducing, teeth gnashing moments in the entire series. Our pick for the show's low: the scene in which Chewbacca's elderly father Itchy settles in for a softcore porno hologram show, with the sexual hologram played by Oscar-nominee Diahann Carroll no less! Carroll proceeds to sing a very 1970s disco ballad, with all the sensuous intonations of Andrea True. In a holiday special full of "WTF" moments, Itchy's holographic porno becomes the "WTF" moment. The sequence has nothing to do with the plot of the show (such as it is), nor does it gel with anything that Star Wars has done before or since! No wonder George Lucas has said he wanted to destroy every copy of the special with a hammer!
9 Any given moment Jar Jar Binks is on screen - The Phantom Menace
You knew it was coming. The Phantom Menace revived Star Wars after an almost 20-year period of dormancy. The long-awaited Prequel Trilogy promised lots more space battles, a look at the rise of Emperor Palpatine, and insight into the Jedi genocide. Fans did not expect, however, a Jerry Lewis-style slapstick comic relief character like the amphibious Jar Jar Binks to pop up in the story.
The inclusion of Jar Jar in The Phantom Menace not only damaged the reception of the film, but it also would continue to color the reception of the Prequel Trilogy as a whole. George Lucas, contrary to popular belief, did not intend the character as a racist caricature of Rastafarians, gay people, or anyone else, but rather as a Star Wars analogue to the bumbling servant in Akira Kurosawa's The Hidden Fortress. Unlike C3-P0 and R2-D2, who served the same function in the Original Trilogy, Jar Jar never won over audiences. The character continues to cast a pall over the whole franchise, even today, and might just be the single most grating, obnoxious character ever committed to film.
8 "Good Call, my young Padawan"- Attack Of The Clones
Attack of the Clones tried a great deal to distance itself from the sins of The Phantom Menace. George Lucas worked hard to include more action and fan-favorite characters like Yoda and Boba Fett to hold audience interest. He also tried to improve the dialogue, and failed miserably. Attack of the Clones teems with clunker lines, often laughably bad, and always distracting. Just as Anakin's compliments of Padme not feeling like sand strained the patience of viewers, so did the inclusion of colloquialisms in the Star Wars speech.
For example, in the midst of the Battle of Geonosis—itself a great sequence—Obi-Wan Kenobi compliments Anakin on some battle tactics with the line "good call, my young Padawan." A line like that feels more like something out of Wayne's World than Star Wars, and reminds audiences of Lucas' desperate attempts to sound cool. Alas, the dialogue of Attack of the Clones, even more than the leaden romantic subplot, mires the film into the realm of the asinine, making it the weakest movie in the entire series.
7 Introducing Starkiller base — The Force Awakens
So much of the success of The Force Awakens comes from an overreliance on nostalgia. That makes a fun viewing experience for older fans, but does little to enrich or further the ongoing saga of the Skywalker family. The movie has earned a good deal of criticism for emulating the plot of the original movie too closely. This sin becomes most obvious in the introduction of Starkiller Base.
It's one thing to include characters or environments that recall those of the Original Trilogy. Starkiller Base, however, goes too far. The superweapon is little more than a steroidal version of the Death Star, a plot element the series had already explored on more than one occasion. If the Death Star relied on cinematic conceits to make sense (just where did they find all the metal to build it?), the Starkiller takes advantage. Characters on distant planets witness the destruction of star systems in an instant, which overlooks even the most basic, common sense laws of physics. The way the base powers itself makes even less sense. Planets needs heat! If it eats up a star to fire, can't it only fire once? How can it sustain life?
The Starkiller Base strains all credulity, and becomes symbolic of the fan pandering which preoccupies The Force Awakens. Audiences want a new Star Wars stories to evolve and expand the series. The Starkiller, however, recalls only other adventures from the Star Wars galaxy that played much fresher and had better execution.
6 Darth Maul sliced in half – The Phantom Menace
The first images of Darth Maul helped anticipation for The Phantom Menace and indeed, the Prequel Trilogy as a whole hit a fever pitch unequaled in cinema, before or since. Fans expected to see this red-skinned, horned, devilish figure as a new master villain—a character that could equal Darth Vader both as a visual and as a storytelling icon. No wonder The Phantom Menace disappointed so many fans then, when the final movie featured a limited appearance by Maul who ended up dead in the movie's final reel!
Of course, Maul has since returned in canonical appearances in The Clone Wars and Rebels. In 1999 though, or in the context of just the live action films, Darth Maul feels like the biggest waste of a character in the history of the series. Maul remains a fan favorite, in part because of the further adventures and backstory his later appearances introduced. Virtually none of the character's best moments appear in The Phantom Menace, however, his sole live-action outing. The limited appearance of Darth Maul prompted fans to question George Lucas' motives in writing and directing the prequels, and much like Jar Jar Binks, would cast a shadow of resentment over the rest of the Prequel Trilogy.
5 Death of Boba Fett - Return Of The Jedi
Boba Fett had one of the longest introduction periods in Star Wars history. The Star Wars Holiday Special teased the character as Darth Vader's "right hand" man. The character became one of the first toys released for The Empire Strikes Back, building up a mystique around him, and hinting at his vital function in the plot. Empire also introduces Fett as a cruel and cunning warrior, and as audiences first saw his ship Slave I fly off with Han Solo's frozen body aboard, viewers wondered what further diabolical deeds Fett would commit in future Star Wars adventures.
Then came Return of the Jedi, which saw Fett's role reduced to that of background character, and his demise at the end of the film's first act. For the first time, die-hard fans questioned how Star Wars could waste such a beloved character. Lucas had created Fett under the plan to make Star Wars an ongoing series, and had considered making Fett a recurring villain in future episodes. Lucas' desire to end the saga with Return of the Jedi nullified the chance audiences would see Fett again, and thus the demise of the character came to represent the collective disappointment of fandom that Star Wars should ever end.
4 "NOOOOOO" - The Empire Strikes Back
George Lucas has often described Star Wars as a tone poem, with certain characters and plot points echoing one another across the trilogy. Maybe that's why the series can't seem to get away from hilarious lines like "Noooo!" Just as Darth Vader would bellow the line to the sight of rolling eyes everywhere, The Empire Strikes Back features the other most notorious use of the line in the series. Granted, the scene calls for hysteria: Darth Vader has just revealed to Luke Skywalker that he's his father! Poor Mark Hamill would endure criticism for years to come for his delivery.
In fairness, the line plays better in Empire than in Sith, and if Mark Hamill deserves culpability for it falling flat, perhaps that has something to do with Hamill reacting to a different line. Lucas had gone to great lengths to keep Luke's true parentage a secret—even actor David Prowse, who plays the physical Darth Vader, didn't know the real line. Director Irvin Kershner informed Hamill of the real dialogue just moments before filming the scene. In any case, the line became a silly punctuation to one of the most shocking scenes in cinema history, forever distracting from the dramatic reveal
3 Greedo shoots first - A New Hope: Special Edition
We here at Screen Rant would be remiss in composing this list not to mention some of the most obvious changes to the Original Trilogy over the years in the so-called Special Edition versions. One glaring alteration casts a pall over the whole endeavor. Han Solo's murder of the bounty hunter Greedo in the Mos Eisley Cantina made for a shocking bit of character development back in 1997. George Lucas, however, came to question the choice, especially after Han Solo and Princess Leia would later find love together. Lucas found Solo's cold blooded killing a bit too grizzly for a character regarded as a hero.
Lucas tried to split the difference in the Special Edition by having Greedo shoot at Han first. Die hard fans came to hate the change, favoring a more ruthless Han Solo. They also came to hate the Special Editions, both because of annoying or obvious changes, and because Lucas refused to release the original theatrical versions of the films on home media. The circulation of the so-called "DeSpeciailzed Editions" has helped quell fan frustration, though the lingering memory of Greedo Shooting first continues to haunt Lucas' legacy as Star Wars creator.
2 Slaughter of Sandpeople - Attack Of The Clones
When he planned out the Prequel Trilogy, George Lucas had originally intended The Phantom Menace to feature a teenaged Anakin Skywalker, who would begin his romance with Padme and already show signs of the darkness that would later consume him into Darth Vader. Lucas backed away from that plan, reducing Anakin's age to portray the character as more innocent. The choice, unfortunately, would pose issues later, as Lucas struggled to give Anakin a credible dark turn.
One scene in Attack of the Clones illustrates this problem. Anakin returns from rescuing his mother, and confesses to Padme that he slaughtered an entire tribe of Tusken Raiders. Anakin's on-the-nose dialogue about "hating" and "slaughtering" the raiders stiffens the scene, robbing it of drama. Padme's indifferent reaction doesn't help either. As before, Lucas' choice of dialogue hampers the story more than advances it, and makes talented performers like Hayden Christensen and Natalie Portman look silly. What could have been a powerful scene of Anakin's despair instead becomes a head-shaking moment of clumsy writing.
1 Midi-Chlorians - The Phantom Menace
Few subjects in Star Wars lore have attracted as much discussion as the "midi-chlorians," the sub-cellular structures which connect living things to the Force. Fans who treat Star Wars as religion—including those who actually claim the film series as an actual religion—balked at the literalization of the mystic Force. Lucas managed to pay off the introduction of the midi-chlorians in Revenge of the Sith by having Palpatine disclose that the tiny creatures could create and sustain life. That didn't do much to quell fan outrage over the introduction of a biological source of the Force.
A closer reading of the scene in The Phantom Menace reveals a very different explanation. Midi-chlorians don't create the Force, so much as connect living creatures to it. In broader philosophical terms, the microscopic creatures are somewhat akin to physical brain cells connect to ethereal thoughts, or nerve cells converting physical contact into sensation. Even so, if midi-chlorians are meant to explain the point in Star Wars where the intangible become tangible, Lucas' clumsy introduction of the concept doesn't provide fans with enough clarity. Thus, midi-chlorians would become widely criticized as an unnecessary addition to the Star Wars mythos, one which takes away from the very magic that makes the series so loved.

Blockchain offers many opportunities for improving the healthcare sphere. As you know, the technology allows storing information after creating a transaction. The same way, the platform stores medical information about the patient. The cryptographic encryption secures information. The only patient has an access to this information and the only patient can give an access to anyone he wants.
Healthcare Blockchain out-of-hospital technology stores medical information about each patient allows controlling the medicine consumption, recording the actions of doctors and nurses, analyzing medical data of the population in the real time.
Blockchain in healthcare plays a significant role. The person that gets access to the database immediately finds out about the state of health, chronic illnesses, allergies, reactions on the medicines, complaints on the doctor's appointments, etc.
[clickToTweet tweet="With the help of the Blockchain technology healthcare, the doctor can diagnose the disease faster and subscribe the right treatment (basing on the previous diseases and treatment)." quote="With the help of the Blockchain technology healthcare, the doctor can diagnose the disease faster and subscribe the right treatment (basing on the previous diseases and treatment)."]
Blockchain for healthcare has a bigger meaning because when a doctor has full information about the patient's health, he won't lose time figuring out additional information. For the record, a doctor has only 10 minutes to save a person from the anaphylactic shock. Every second makes sense in such cases. So, Blockchain healthcare technology contributes to saving lives.

Poems By Jeff Stephen Schectman Blake
My Lai (1968)
The moon sat on the edge of a funnel
and waited
the dog ran in the intestines of hills
then waited
the trees whispered and waited
I was not there so I waited
on the porch of my solitude
while the gravity pulsed in the
core of the astral upheavings.
the infant whimpering waited
and the muck of the pigs disengaged
from the slithering ankles of slime
settled down to the quiet of morning
the duck squatted on dust
upheaved a sigh and waited
and the mother drowning the rice
in the froth of the tongue
of her offspring waited
while the man with the aged white beard
sallied forth to ensconce
in his tilling.
I waited, not being there I waited
while the pit of my stomach
devoured the void of my room
and the darkness of fingers melted
the lids of my eyes
while the dire of spices
ground out
the pores of my liver
not being there I waited
In the harpoon of light
I waited
in the sulfureous poisons
and gases I devoured the hours
one at a time, till the news disengaged
my eyes from
the knure of my fists.
The sky in the morning
suddenly barked!
just hours after their soldiers
departed by way of the burrows
that led to the spume of the shore.
everything hushed
everyone hushed, in the dampness of planets
everything gorged on the ominous future
everyone honed on the ineffable knowledge.
just moments away:
a diminutive scourge of the worlds!
a forbode of larger more final and ominous oceans
to be followed by love!
quiet and still barked the morning
and suddenly swallowed by the barrel leads
tongue the sun disappeared behind blood!
the cattle mooed suddenly slaughtered
by slivers of steel. blood unending blood.
impaled on the edge of a spear — a duck. great buckets of blood
unending blood.
the bawling black sky splintered in pieces. blood, troughs
full of blood.
and the pigs' eyes dropped into the red
of their pails
blood unending blood.
the infants' gouged hands drowned in the blood
and the featherless pigeons in flight succumbed
to the blood.
I was not there
but I heard
most alarming — the dumbness of cows
their treacherous fate
I was not there but I heard
the leaves dripping with blood
blood in the roots, unending blood
in the sky and the river.
the animals, calves and the hogs
drowned in the silence of madness
bleating toward merciless skies
the pain of their dying.
and the universe squealed
on its leg made of pumice.
dead everything dead
crying everything crying
numb everything numb
the womens' flesh burnt
in the heat of the jagged rages
of knives fell in the blood
and eruptions of bullets attended
the nuclear novas fell in the blood
The trembling blurred vision of waiting.
the numbness and dumbness of soldiers.
the tumbling acids of fleeing.
while the metal of bullets
hacked skulls into wood
the planets collided convulsed and disgorged
while the limbs of the trees
were severed from trunks
blood everywhere blood!
hewn into stone and despoiled
the kidneys and liver
fell in the blood
and the core of the earth swelled hot
toward the mantle and crust
unending explosions
mothers and earthquakes
unending disasters
the ice drowns the eyes
in the frost.
unending eruptions
the asteroids convulse
and the molten hot liquid globes.
dead everything dead!
dying everything dying!
numb everything numb!
crying everything crying!
stricken everything stricken!
gone everything gone!
the budding of leaves
suddenly gone!
Heavy Broom (March 23, 2004)
A heavy broom pounds at my door
—under the cracks
I feel its chill and rancor
already at my feet—
promising to sweep me
like dense fluid
into the sea's-drafts;
there be lashed
with needles of spume and foam
against substanceless rocks
—as the sky laughs
through a flight of birds—
and fade me
like frail moss into the salt sea
while each great sweep
of straw and withe
transmute to love
gold-hot and flowing red!
Bird (April 15, 2007)
The quiet door unlocks its rage1
and dissonance
is merged with song
while deep inside the anteroom
love's corpse-still-lies
silent as a vacant hive
and toward the chamber's grin
dry roots reach out... to trust
that is a snake beneath,
and further in.
so courage can no longer speak
to loss so deep
and once within the living room
the millstones there can never move;
just rearrange, never hope, never change—
wherefrom, depths' smallest sprig of light,
could move, the sound of joy,
the sound of flight.
Blush (December 31, 2007)
Filled with emptiness
my shades are drawn
and here
some knight or prince
in darkness lies:
what outside's sun
might shine upon
yet here not shining violates
thus living skewed
self conned and cunningly
I wait..
to rise from slumber's graphic blush —
before eternity is done.
