text: Latest Video Trump, Putin, Netanyahu, and the World Cup (Video) The Duran – News in Review – Episode 43. Published 7 months ago on July 5, 2018 By Alex Christoforou 995 Views Share Tweet Its official, a Trump-Putin summit will take place on July 16th, in Helsinki, Finland. The White House said in a press release that US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin have scheduled a bilateral meeting for July 16 in Helsinki, Finland. "President Donald J. Trump and President Vladimir Putin of the Russian Federation will meet on July 16, 2018, in Helsinki, Finland." The Kremlin has likewise confirmed that the US-Russian summit will be held in Helsinki on July 16th. The Kremlin further stated that the two leaders will discuss the current state of US-Russia relations, as well as other international issues. The Duran's Alex Christoforou and Editor-in-Chief Alexander Mercouris analyze how the summit will worry many US allies and draw negative reactions from Trump's critics. Further adding more intrigue to the Trump-Putin meeting is the fact that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu will be visiting with Putin to discuss Iran and Syria, as well as attending the World Cup final. Rumors are swirling that POTUS Trump may make a surprise appearance at the final match along with Netanyahu. Remember to Please Subscribe to The Duran's YouTube Channel. Via Sputnik News… On June 27, Trump told reporters that he would likely talk about Syria and Ukraine during his meeting with Putin. Trump's National Security Advisor John Bolton met with Putin in Moscow the same day to begin preparations for the meeting. Earlier in June, Vladimir Putin said that his meeting with Trump would take place as soon as the US side is ready for it. Donald Trump has previously said that he wants better relations with Russia; however, he has only met the Russian president once — on the sidelines of an Asia-Pacific summit in Vietnam last November. Via The Jerusalem Post… Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's scheduled trip to Moscow next week is part of an ongoing conversation between him and Russian President Vladimir Putin about Syria and Iran, and not an "emergency" meeting scheduled to discuss the dramatic situation in southwestern Syria, a diplomatic source said on Wednesday. The Kremlin spokesman confirmed that Putin will be meeting Netanyahu next week and will also meet the Emir of Qatar if he comes to Moscow for the World Cup. Putin invited Netanyahu two weeks ago to the World Cup, along with a number of other leaders, including Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas. The Prime Minister's Office announced on Tuesday that Netanyahu will be going to Moscow on July 11. This is the day of the second World Cup semi-final match in Moscow, and Netanyahu is expected to attend. This will be Netanyahu's third visit to Russia to meet Putin since the beginning of the year. He has also, according to Kremlin statements put out since the beginning of the year, spoken with the Russian leader six times on the phone. By comparison, Netanyahu has traveled this year one time to the US to meet President Donald Trump, and the White House has put out only two "readouts" of calls between the two men. Liked it?

Neocons make the case that the West should not only seek to contain "Moscow's imperial ambitions" but to actively seek the dismemberment of Russia as a whole. Published 21 hours ago on January 20, 2019 By The Duran Authored by Erik D'Amato via The Ron Paul Institute for Peace & Prosperity: If there's one thing everyone in today's Washington can agree on, it's that whenever an official or someone being paid by the government says something truly outrageous or dangerous, there should be consequences, if only a fleeting moment of media fury. With one notable exception: Arguing that the US should be quietly working to promote the violent disintegration and carving up of the largest country on Earth. Because so much of the discussion around US-Russian affairs is marked by hysteria and hyperbole, you are forgiven for assuming this is an exaggeration. Unfortunately it isn't. Published in the Hill under the dispassionate title "Managing Russia's dissolution," author Janusz Bugajski makes the case that the West should not only seek to contain "Moscow's imperial ambitions" but to actively seek the dismemberment of Russia as a whole. Engagement, criticism and limited sanctions have simply reinforced Kremlin perceptions that the West is weak and predictable. To curtail Moscow's neo-imperialism a new strategy is needed, one that nourishes Russia's decline and manages the international consequences of its dissolution. Like many contemporary cold warriors, Bugajski toggles back and forth between overhyping Russia's might and its weaknesses, notably a lack of economic dynamism and a rise in ethnic and regional fragmentation.But his primary argument is unambiguous: That the West should actively stoke longstanding regional and ethnic tensions with the ultimate aim of a dissolution of the Russian Federation, which Bugajski dismisses as an "imperial construct." The rationale for dissolution should be logically framed: In order to survive, Russia needs a federal democracy and a robust economy; with no democratization on the horizon and economic conditions deteriorating, the federal structure will become increasingly ungovernable… To manage the process of dissolution and lessen the likelihood of conflict that spills over state borders, the West needs to establish links with Russia's diverse regions and promote their peaceful transition toward statehood. Even more alarming is Bugajski's argument that the goal should not be self-determination for breakaway Russian territories, but the annexing of these lands to other countries. "Some regions could join countries such as Finland, Ukraine, China and Japan, from whom Moscow has forcefully appropriated territories in the past." It is, needless to say, impossible to imagine anything like this happening without sparking a series of conflicts that could mirror the Yugoslav Wars. Except in this version the US would directly culpable in the ignition of the hostilities, and in range of 6,800 Serbian nuclear warheads. So who is Janusz Bugajski, and who is he speaking for? The author bio on the Hill's piece identifies him as a senior fellow at the Center for European Policy Analysis, a Washington, D.C. think-tank. But CEPA is no ordinary talk shop: Instead of the usual foundations and well-heeled individuals, its financial backers seem to be mostly arms of the US government, including the Department of State, the Department of Defense, the US Mission to NATO, the US-government-sponsored National Endowment for Democracy, as well as as veritable who's who of defense contractors, including Raytheon, Bell Helicopter, BAE Systems, Lockheed Martin and Textron. Meanwhile, Bugajski chairs the South-Central Europe area studies program at the Foreign Service Institute of the US Department of State. To put it in perspective, it is akin to a Russian with deep ties to the Kremlin and arms-makers arguing that the Kremlin needed to find ways to break up the United States and, if possible, have these breakaway regions absorbed by Mexico and Canada. (A scenario which alas is not as far-fetched as it might have been a few years ago; many thousands in California now openly talk of a "Calexit," and many more in Mexico of a reconquista.) Meanwhile, it's hard to imagine a quasi-official voice like Bugajski's coming out in favor of a similar policy vis-a-vis China, which has its own restive regions, and which in geopolitical terms is no more or less of a threat to the US than Russia. One reason may be that China would consider an American call for secession by the Tibetans or Uyghurs to be a serious intrusion into their internal affairs, unlike Russia, which doesn't appear to have noticed or been ruffled by Bugajski's immodest proposal. Indeed, just as the real scandal in Washington is what's legal rather than illegal, the real outrage in this case is that few or none in DC finds Bugajski's virtual declaration of war notable. But it is. It is the sort of provocation that international incidents are made of, and if you are a US taxpayer, it is being made in your name, and it should be among your outrages of the month.

Published 23 hours ago on January 20, 2019 By Alex Christoforou The Duran's Alex Christoforou and Editor-in-Chief Alexander Mercouris discuss Russian President Vladimir Putin's official visit to Serbia. Putin met with Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic to further develop bilateral trade and economic relations, as well as discuss pressing regional issues including the possibility of extending the Turkish Stream gas pipeline into Serbia, and the dangerous situation around Kosovo. Remember to Please Subscribe to The Duran's YouTube Channel. Follow The Duran Audio Podcast on Soundcloud. Via RT… Russian President Vladimir Putin got a hero's welcome in Belgrade. The one-day visit to the last holdout against NATO's ambitions in the Balkans may have been somewhat short on substance, but was certainly loaded with symbolism. Even before he landed, the Russian leader was given an honor guard by Serbian air force MiGs, a 2017 gift from Moscow to replace those destroyed by NATO during the 1999 air campaign that ended with the occupation of Serbia's province of Kosovo. Russia has refused to recognize Kosovo's US-backed declaration of independence, while the US and EU have insisted on it. Upon landing, Putin began his first official trip of 2019 by paying respects to the Soviet soldiers who died liberating Belgrade from Nazi occupation in 1944. While most Serbians haven't forgotten their historical brotherhood in arms with Russia, it did not hurt to remind the West just who did the bulk of the fighting against Nazi Germany back in World War II. After official talks with Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic, Putin visited the Church of St. Sava, the grand Orthodox basilica set on the spot where the Ottoman Turks torched the remains of the first Serbian archbishop back in 1594, in an effort to maintain power. Sava, whose brother Stefan became the "first-crowned" king of medieval Serbia, was responsible for setting up the autocephalous Serbian Orthodox Church exactly eight centuries ago this year. For all its own troubles, the Serbian Church has sided with Moscow in the current Orthodox schism over Ukraine. Russian artisans have been working on the grand mosaic inside the basilica, and asked Putin to complete the design by placing the last three pieces, in the colors of the Russian flag.

Ahead of his visit to Serbia, Vladimir Putin answered questions from Serbian media – the newspapers Politika and Večernje novosti:🔸#INFtreaty🔹situation in the Balkans🔸ecclesiastical crisis in Ukraine ➡ https://t.co/mHvApqSuF4 pic.twitter.com/YV9VRyAdNo — Russia in USA 🇷🇺 (@RusEmbUSA) January 16, 2019 Western media usually refer to Serbia as a "Russian ally." While this is true in a historical and cultural sense, there is no formal military alliance between Moscow and Belgrade. Serbia officially follows the policy of military neutrality, with its armed forces taking part in exercises alongside both Russian and NATO troops. This is a major source of irritation for NATO, which seeks dominion over the entire Balkans region. Most recently, the alliance extended membership to Montenegro in 2017 without putting the question to a referendum. It is widely expected that "Northern Macedonia" would get an invitation to NATO as soon as its name change process is complete – and that was arranged by a deal both Macedonia and Greece seem to have been pressured into by Washington. That would leave only Serbia outside the alliance – partly, anyway, since NATO has a massive military base in the disputed province of Kosovo, and basically enjoys special status in that quasi-state. Yet despite Belgrade's repeated declarations of Serbia wanting to join the EU, Brussels and Washington have set recognition of Kosovo as the key precondition – and no Serbian leader has been able to deliver on that just yet, though Vucic has certainly tried. Putin's repeated condemnations of NATO's 1999 attack, and Russian support for Serbia's territorial integrity guaranteed by the UN Security Council Resolution 1244, have made him genuinely popular among the Serbs, more so than Vucic himself. Tens of thousands of people showed up in Belgrade to greet the Russian president. It could be a rock gig yet it isn't. Thousands march through Belgrade on the day of Vladimir #Putin's visit to #Serbia, greeting the Russian President.#Belgrade pic.twitter.com/HAzueR9cCE — Igor Zhdanov (@IgorZhdanovRT) January 17, 2019 While Vucic's critics have alleged that many of them were bused in by the government – which may well be true, complete with signs showing both Vucic and Putin – there is no denying the strong pro-Russian sentiment in Serbia, no matter how hard Integrity Initiative operatives have tried. The Serbs are happy to welcome Putin, even after all of Europe has been under the influence of a major campaign against Russia, which has been partly financed by UK. The Serbs seem to be immune to propaganda against Russia.#IntegrityInitiative has failed here. 😂👌 🇷🇸🇷🇺 pic.twitter.com/68bJIIANnu — Enrique⏳🇨🇱 (@garoukike) January 17, 2019 One of the signs spotted in Belgrade reportedly said "one of 300 million," referring to the old Serbian joke about there being "300 million of us – and Russians." However, it is also a send-up of the slogan used by current street protesters against Vucic. For the past six weeks, every Saturday, thousands of people have marched through Belgrade, declaring themselves "1 of 5 million" after Vucic said he wouldn't give in to their demands even if "five million showed up." The opposition Democrats accuse him of corruption, nepotism, mismanagement, cronyism – all the sins they themselves have plenty of experience with during their 12-year reign following Serbia's color revolution. Yet they've had to struggle for control of the marches with the nationalists, who accuse Vucic of preparing to betray Kosovo and want "him to go away, but [Democrats] not come back." #Putin considers #Serbia its most trusted ally in Europe and is investing heavily in large projects, especially in the energy sector. Even though @avucic recognizes that he is receiving substantial support from Putin, he is strengthening his alliance with #Turkey as well. pic.twitter.com/9ZkZNXCcyS — AlonBenMeir (@AlonBenMeir) January 17, 2019 There is plenty of genuine discontent in Serbia with Vucic, who first came to power in 2012 on a nationalist-populist platform but quickly began to rule as a pro-NATO liberal. It later emerged that western PR firms had a key role in his party's "makeover" from Radicals to Progressives. Yet his subsequent balancing act between NATO and Russia has infuriated both the NGOs and politicians in Serbia beholden to Western interests, and US diplomats charged with keeping the Balkans conquered. Washington is busy with its own troubles these days, so there was no official comment to Putin's visit from the State Department – only a somewhat pitiful and tone-deaf tweet by Ambassador Kyle Scott, bemoaning the lack of punishment for $1 million in damages to the US Embassy during a 2008 protest against Kosovo "independence." Yet as far as Western media outlets are concerned, why Moscow seems to be vastly more popular than Washington on the streets of Belgrade nonetheless remains a mystery. By Nebojsa Malic Liked it?

Continue Reading Latest Curious Bedfellows: The Neocon And Progressive Alliance To Destroy Donald Trump The neocon metamorphosis is nearly complete as many of the neocons, who started out as Democrats, have returned home, where they are being welcomed for their hardline foreign policy viewpoint. Published 1 day ago on January 20, 2019 By Philip Giraldi Authored by Philip Giraldi via OffGuardian.com: The Roman poet Ovid's masterful epic The Metamorphoses includes the memorable opening line regarding the poem's central theme of transformation. He wrote In nova fert animus mutatas dicere formas corpora, which has been translated as "Of shapes transformed to bodies strange, I purpose to entreat…" Ovid framed his narrative around gods, heroes and quasi-historical events but if he were around today, he would no doubt be fascinated by the many transformations of the group that has defined itself as neoconservative.The movement began in a cafeteria in City College of New York in the 1930s, where a group of radical Jewish students would meet to discuss politics and developments in Europe. Many of the founders were from the far left, communists of the Trotskyite persuasion, which meant that they believed in permanent global revolution led by a vanguard party. The transformation into conservatives of a neo-persuasion took place when they were reportedly "mugged by reality" into accepting that the standard leftist formulae were not working to transform the world rapidly enough. As liberal hawks, they then hitched their wagon to the power of the United States to bring about transformation by force if necessary and began to infiltrate institutions like the Pentagon to give themselves the tools to achieve their objectives, which included promotion of regime change wars, full spectrum global dominance and unconditional support for Israel. The neocons initially found a home with Democratic Senator Henry "Scoop" Jackson, but they moved on in the 1970s and 1980s to prosper under Ronald Reagan as well as under Democrat Bill Clinton. Their ability to shape policy peaked under George W. Bush, when they virtually ran the Pentagon and were heavily represented in both the national security apparatus and in the White House. They became adept at selling their mantra of "strong national defense" to whomever was buying, including to President Obama, even while simultaneously complaining about his administration's "weakness." The neoconservatives lined up behind Hillary Clinton in 2016, appalled by Donald Trump's condemnation of their centerpiece war in Iraq and even more so by his pledge to end the wars in Asia and nation-building projects while also improving relations with the Russians. They worked actively against the Republican candidate both before he was nominated and elected and did everything they could to stop him, including libeling him as a Russian agent. When Trump was elected, it, therefore, seemed that the reign of the neocons had ended, but chameleonlike, they have changed shape and are now ensconced both in some conservative as well as in an increasing number of progressive circles in Washington and in the media. Against all odds, they have even captured key posts in the White House itself with the naming of John Bolton as National Security Adviser and Mike Pompeo as Secretary of State. Bolton's Chief of Staff is Fred Fleitz, a leading neocon and Islamophobe while last week Trump added Iran hawk Richard Goldberg to the National Security Council as director for countering Iranian weapons of mass destruction. Goldberg is an alumnus of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, which is the leading neocon think tank calling incessantly for war with Iran. Meanwhile, the neocon metamorphosis is nearly complete as many of the neocons, who started out as Democrats, have returned home, where they are being welcomed for their hardline foreign policy viewpoint. Glenn Greenwald reports that, based on polling of party supporters, the Democrats have gone full-Hillary and are now by far more hawkish than the Republicans, unwilling to leave either Syria or Afghanistan. The neocon survival and rejuvenation is particularly astonishing in that they have been wrong about virtually everything, most notably the catastrophic Iraq War. They have never been held accountable for anything, though one should note that accountability is not a prominent American trait, at least since Vietnam. What is important is that neocon views have been perceived by the media and punditry as being part of the Establishment consensus, which provides them with access to programming all across the political spectrum. That is why neocon standard-bearers like Bill Kristol and Max Boot have been able to move effortlessly from Fox News to MSNBC where they are fêted by the likes of Rachel Maddow. They applauded the Iraq War when the Establishment was firmly behind it and are now trying to destroy Donald Trump's presidency because America's elite is behind that effort. Indeed, the largely successful swing by the neocons from right to left has in some ways become more surreal, as an increasing number of progressive spokesmen and institutions have lined up behind their perpetual warfare banner. The ease with which the transformation took place reveals, interestingly, that the neocons have no real political constituency apart from voters who feel threatened and respond by supporting perpetual war, but they do share many common interests with the so-called liberal interventionists. Neocons see a global crisis for the United States defined in terms of power while the liberals see the struggle as a moral imperative, but the end result is the same: intervention by the United States. This fusion is clearly visible in Washington, where the Clintons' Center for American Progress (CAP) is now working on position papers with the neoconservative American Enterprise Institute (AEI). One of the most active groups attacking President Trump is "Republicans for the Rule of Law," founded by Bill Kristol in January 2018, as a component of Defending Democracy Together(DDT), a 501(c)4 lobbying group that also incorporates projects called The Russia Tweets and Republicans Against Putin. Republicans Against Putin promotes the view that President Trump is not "stand[ing] up to [Vladimir] Putin" and calls for more aggressive investigation of the Russian role in the 2016 election. DDT is a prime example of how the neoconservatives and traditional liberal interventionists have come together as it is in part funded by Pierre Omidyar, the billionaire co-founder of eBay who has provided DDT with $600,000 in two grants through his Democracy Fund Voice, also a 501(c)4. Omidyar is a political liberal who has given millions of dollars to progressive organizations and individuals since 1999. Indeed, he is regarded as a top funder of liberal causesin the United States and even globally together with Michael Bloomberg and George Soros. His Democracy Fund awarded $9 million in grants in 2015 alone. Last week, the Omidyar-Kristol connection may have deepened with an announcement regarding the launch of the launch of a new webzine The Bulwark, which would clearly be at least somewhat intended to take the place of the recently deceased Weekly Standard. It is promoting itself as the center of the "Never Trump Resistance" and it is being assumed that at least some of the Omidyar money is behind it. Iranian-born Omidyar's relationship with Kristol is clearly based on the hatred that the two share regarding Donald Trump. Omidyar has stated that Trump is a "dangerous authoritarian demagogue… endorsing Donald Trump immediately disqualifies you from any position of public trust." He has tweeted that Trump suffers from "failing mental capacity" and is both "corrupt and incapacitated." Omidyar is what he is – a hardcore social justice warrior who supports traditional big government and globalist liberal causes, most of which are antithetical to genuine conservatives. But what is interesting about the relationship with Kristol is that it also reveals what the neoconservatives are all about. Kristol and company have never been actual conservatives on social issues, a topic that they studiously avoid, and their foreign policy is based on two principles: creating a state of perpetual war based on fearmongering about foreign enemies while also providing unlimited support for Israel. Kristol hates Trump because he threatens the war agenda while Omidyar despises the president for traditional progressive reasons. That hatred is the tie that binds and it is why Bill Kristol, a man possessing no character and values whatsoever, is willing to take Pierre Omidyar's money while Pierre is quite happy to provide it to destroy a common enemy, the President of the United States of America.

Despite the provocative headline that got you this far, I'm sure there's something to it.
So few women top executives exist that I'm sure there's some "boys club" reason behind it in the board rooms of major corporations where, not coincidentally, there are relatively few women.
But what about female line workers: the female clerks, saleswomen, scientists and engineers. Not the woman who aspires to being the CEO, but the woman who, like most men, just wants to earn a living.
I've often wondered about the statistics and have yet to find an answer to this question: are the statisticians comparing apples to apples or apples to oranges?
Here's what I mean:
Most men are ready to travel or even relocate away from friends and family if it will improve their career opportunities. I strongly suspect that while many woman are also ready to improve their careers in this way, most women are not.
I strongly suspect that many women still head toward careers in line with natural feminine inclinations to nurture: teaching, nursing, veterinary care and assistantship jobs, art and craft-oriented jobs.
Add to this some of the disadvantages of women in the workplace such as, greater absenteeism (female health and family commitment reasons), more likely to be a smoker (less likely to give up a break in a crisis situation), and less likely to accept a career move if it means leaving office friends behind, and...
...I wonder what the stats about advancement opportunities and pay would look like if one compared the women who were more like men against their male counterparts.

Hey Unseen,
But on your last post, is this really the point? Every person has a valued place in society and should be compensated fairly for it. Even if these differences exist, people as individuals, not as statistics, should be free to choose their occupation freely, without having to weigh the disproportionate costs they are having to bear for rearing men's children. Think about the totality of what your're saying.
And I am accused of blowing smoke up girls butts when I say this but I am not. I have plenty of things to say that infuiate women, too. This is just the honest truth, imo
- kk
You don't need to question the evidence for that point because it isn't the point, imo. Even if it were true, it does nothing to justify the current situation. In all the cases I looked into the negotiations regarding salary did in fact ultimately come down to womens expectations made due to their position of being the primary caretaker, even when they didn't want to do that. If you re-interview and don't ask anything leading you will find that this is the consistent answer.

Fair compensation is determined in terms of value to the employer, or do you use some other standard? The employees pay is company money spent in pursuit of the organization's goals. In a sales organization, for example, aggressiveness, willingness to sacrifice family time for business-related endeavors, willingness to relocate when needed or go on long trips are valued. I contend that on the whole (but of course not in every case) men fill such roles more voluntarily and enthusiastically than women.
Hey Unseen,
I see both sides of this, but we cannot even know which of you is right until we level the field in terms of obligations to consanguinity, which is what is confusing the issue. If those obligations were truly leveled we'd know pretty quickly how much contribution comes from what.

Hey Colleen,
I work in a highly female-saturated, non-corporate career. It confuses me when I look around: 80% of my coworkers are women, but 80% of my professors and supervisors are men.
Fascinating. This sounds like the American education system. Anyway, that is very telling, imo.

I hear this a lot. Maybe I'm an outlier. But this is not what I see. I see women everywhere in my profession and in board rooms all over. They make *outstanding* salaries and are very hard to fire. There, I've said something controversial ;-)
Having said that, I do have some anecdotal evidence to tell me that women in mid to lower paying jobs (which, I guess, is most of them after all) do tend to get screwed on salary, which seems to come from some weirdly different negotiation dynamic when offers are made. I've never been able to figure it out, but whenver I'm looking over pay policies or something like this, fifty million questions come up as to why was she, she and she offered thirty percent less than Joe knucklehead we fired last week?
Happens all the time.
- kk
Yes, I forgot to mention that. Statistics comparing men and women need to take into account things like aggressiveness and negotiating skills. I'm not sure they are doing that, because if they are not, then their statistics are apples and oranges when it comes to pay and advancement comparisons.
Is the woman more likely to take the offer made in her performance review than a man? I have my suspicions, but I don't know and I suspect neither do the statisticians, for they are naturally all about what is rather than why it is. The man may say, "No, if you want to keep me, you'll need to do better than that or sweeten the offer with something else." Testosterone rules in some circumstances, there's no doubt about it.
Men more than women may be willing to be ruthless about advancing and thus are probably more willing to set aside sentimental considerations if they conflict with salary and job advancement.
Hey Unseen,
My impression is that this is where the difference is coming from and its a big liability issue. I've advised people that they should change the way they negotiate so that men and women have more similar ballpark expectations when negotiations begin, and that leave of absence and absentee-ism based on obligations to consanguinity be ignored in setting this expectation. And they should document how they are doing this generally and case by case.

Maybe women can mostly see past all the male bravado, over compensation, and ego worship of the corporate culture?
While I'm sure that some women do bump their heads on the glass ceiling, there are ample examples to be found where individual choices are the cause for women to not reach the top in their profession. It's much more of a grey issue than some of the activitsts on both sides would like it to be.
"Most men are ready to travel or even relocate away from friends and family if it will improve their career opportunities. I strongly suspect that while many woman are also ready to improve their careers in this way, most women are not."
I wonder to what degree culture plays a role in this. For instance, my girlfriend and quite a few of my female friends are much more career driven than the men surrounding them, including me. However most of the people that I hang out with are quite well educated and quite progressive/liberal. Not saying that you're wrong in your assesment, just wondering to what degree culture (not nature) plays a role in this.
"I strongly suspect that many women still head toward careers in line with natural feminine inclinations to nurture: teaching, nursing, veterinary care and assistantship jobs, art and craft-oriented jobs."
Both men and women have natural inclinations to nurture, it is somewhat odd to see this predominantly assigned to women. I suspect that there is quite a significant cultural bias involved in this statement. For instance, in my country and especially my field of occupation most manager positions are fulfilled by women. Also as time progresses less and less women choose professions that used to be considered as feminine professions.
However, if you look at the religious people you'd find that they still choose (in general) professions that are more in line with traditional ideas about the role and inclinations of the sexes.
It is a very touchy subject, so kudos to you for bringing it up, it is definitely a subject worth discussing. Unfortunately, I only have more questions to add, and very little in the sense of answers to give.
One large factor in lower salary offers, especially at "entry level" is that businesses will factor in the greater likelihood that women will take extended time off (or possibly even decide to quit completely) for child rearing--and have to be paid during that time if its family leave, under current law. (In other words a law intended to protect women has actually done them some amount of harm!) Yes it is unfair to apply such a consideration to all women indiscriminately, but there is no way for the hiring company to know in advance who is going to give some number of years of uninterrupted service versus: a) quit after a few years to raise a family, or b ) take lengthy and expensive leaves.
Before I get jumped on for this, please note that I pointed out it was one factor; I have no doubt that sexism also plays a role. As such, it certainly differs by organization. Some one individual is ultimately responsible for hiring decisions, and if it's a "he" and "he" is sexist, you'll see some sexism in the hiring--and he will tend to surround himself with others with a similar attitude. (I had one boss once who never quite said so unambiguously to me, but it was clear from statements he made (sometimes in front of women) that he thought most women really couldn't hack the sort of abstract thinking involved in our line of work, though he also acknowledged exceptions. And surprise--he was a young earth creationist. It was a very large company and the HR department would probably have been horrified to catch wind of this.)
Where I work, men take the same leave that women do when their families have a child. Often times families stagger the leave to cover the first three months of the child's life (e.g. the mother takes the first six weeks, and the father takes the six weeks after that). My supervisor chose to stagger his leave, such that he was out for the first two weeks of each month for three months. Is it not this way in other fields?

Oakland gets $4.5 million to hire more cops
The U.S. Department of Justice awarded Oakland $4.5 million Tuesday to hire 10 police officers, bolstering a force that has struggled to battle rising violent crime while decimated by cuts.
The city - which has one of the nation's most understaffed police departments, according to government data released this week - received the most money among 263 cities and counties across the nation that were given the three-year grants.
Officials said the officers, when hired, would be deployed to the city's crime-plagued eastern neighborhoods.
"I want to assure our federal officials that these dollars will be well-used," said U.S. Rep. Barbara Lee, D-Oakland, at a news conference to announce the grant in the courtyard of the Ronald V. Dellums Federal Building in Oakland.
Associate Attorney General Tony West, an Oakland resident, said the funding program was designed to address "major issues like homicide, gang crimes, gun crimes, youth violence and crimes against children."
The Alameda County Sheriff's Department got $2.2 million to hire eight deputies. Vallejo was awarded $1 million to hire four officers, and East Palo Alto and Hayward each received $250,000 to hire two officers.
In Hayward, the new officers will work on school campuses, interacting with student and combatting gang violence, said Hayward Police Chief Diane Urban.
Oakland received similar federal grants in 2009 and 2011 that funded a total of 66 officers. Still, the city currently has 614 officers, down from an all-time high of 832 in 2008.
The department wants to have 700 officers within two years, said Officer Johnna Watson, an Oakland police spokeswoman.
An FBI report released this week showed Oakland's police staffing remained low when compared to other big cities challenged with high crime rates. In 2012, Oakland had 1 officer for every 638 residents. Detroit had 1 officer for every 275 residents, and Baltimore had 1 officer for every 211 residents.
"We're in the process of trying to grow the department," said Sean Whent, the city's interim police chief. "So this allows us to do it quicker, by either hiring lateral officers (from other agencies) or increasing the size of our police academy."
Whent said he hopes to offset attrition from officers who move on or retire. Referring to the plan to put more officers in East Oakland, he said, "Our No. 1 priority is reducing violent crime, so we put the cops where the violent crimes occur."
New officers graduated from the Oakland police academy in March, and 36 more will graduate Friday. Of those, Mayor Jean Quan said, more than half are minorities and a quarter are women.
Two more academies will begin later this year, and two more next year, Whent said.
Don Link, a North Oakland resident active in neighborhood community policing efforts, welcomed news of the grant Tuesday, saying more officers would deter criminals.
"If you're thinking about robbing somebody and you happen to see a cop working on the street, it's likely you're not going to be able to do that," said Link. "Every time we bring new officers on line, it allows the department to behave more as it's organized to do."

Twins Should Consider Trading Morneau
Although the Twins have been playing better baseball lately, they are still non-factors in this year's pennant race. Whether the team will admit it or not, the Twins are in a rebuilding mode and don't appear to be serious contenders for the next two years.
But all does not have to be lost. Teams that are not contending still have an opportunity to make their teams better by making the (sometimes difficult) decision to trade players that are not crucial to the future.
The Twins have a handful of players that fall into this category, including first baseman Justin Morneau.
The first baseman makes $15 million this year in last season of his contract. Morneau has proven his health is intact in 2013, but the former MVP has mysteriously lost almost all of the power that made him a household name in the late 2000's.
From the Twins standpoint it makes sense to move Morneau. They refused to negotiate a contract extension with him a couple of weeks ago, making it seem as though they are not interested in having him back. A team acquiring Morneau would owe approximately $8,000,000 for the rest of the season.
The downside of a Morneau trade is that the level of prospects attained may not be enough to offset the bad PR that comes with trading someone who is familiar to most Twins fans for something fans cannot see immediately paying dividends.
Most likely destination: New York Yankees. The Yankees are slipping out of the AL East race at the moment, but are still very much in the hunt for a Wild Card spot. They are currently starting Lyle Overbay at first base with Mark Texieria out for the season with a wrist injury.
A move for Morneau, combined with the return of Derek Jeter (and A-Rod to a much, much (much) lesser extent) could be just the thing to put New York into the playoffs.

Wet Soil or Dry: Will ACRE Provide Any Benefits in 2013?Tweet
Audio Download
Most Cornbelt farmers not have received an ACRE payment, since the inception of the program in the 2008 Farm Bill. While that primarily results from very low participation in the program, most of those producers who did opt for the ACRE program have not financially qualified for payments due to the calculation formulas. However, the ACRE program may be worthy of consideration in 2013 depending on crop production prospects in your particular state. Could ACRE benefit a farmer with very low soil moisture or a farmer whose spring planting has been delayed because of wet soils?
The Average Crop Revenue Election (ACRE) program was established in the 2008 Farm Bill as part of the farm safety net. However, the complexity of the program and the requirement for landowner participation resulted in very low participation. The highest rates of participation were in Nebraska and Illinois, possibly because of active program promotion by Extension-based agricultural policy economists such as Brad Lubben in Nebraska and Gary Schnitkey in Illinois. With the availability of ACRE in the 2013 production year, farmers will have until June 3 to decide whether to sign up for the program. And not unexpected, both Lubben and Schnitkey have offered extensive assistance to farmers to help make their decisions. But their assistance benefits everyone, because Nebraska is beginning the season as the epicenter of the drought and Illinois farmers have been kept out of the fields due to incessant wet weather issues. That dichotomy offers a span that would include nearly all Cornbelt farmers who want to use the information provided by Lubben and Schnitkey in making a decision for their farming operation.
Lubben provides several points that provide a refresher about the ACRE program, which provides financial protection based on average revenue levels instead of commodity price levels set in legislation:
- Average revenue-based safety net tied to benchmark based on average yields and average prices.
- Protection from revenue losses when state and farm revenue both fall below respective benchmarks.
- Protection tied to planted acres of program commodities on a farm, up to the farm's total base acreage.
- Direct payments available on base acres and program yields at 80 percent of the full DP rate for ACRE participants.
- Marketing loans available on actual production at 70 percent of the full ML rate for ACRE participants.
There are two calculations for ACRE, and both must be used to qualify a farm for an ACRE payment should crop prices fall:
- The state ACRE guarantee is calculated as 90 percent of the 5-year Olympic average yield, multiplied by the 2-year simple-average price of the two prior marketing years for the current year guarantee.
- The farm-level guarantee is equal to the average yield, multiplied by the average price, plus the farmer-paid crop insurance premium.
Lubben says, "The ACRE guarantees move every year based on updated yield and prices, so they reflect current revenue expectations and provide protection from revenue losses much better than does the DCP program." But any gain has a 10% cap from the prior year, reducing effective protection. At Illinois, Schnitkey says, "ACRE will provide protection against low prices given average or above yields."
In his analysis for the prospects for an ACRE payment for the 2013 crop, Lubben says early in the year, crop prices would have negated any ACRE payment and producers would have been better off remaining with the direct payment program. But with the lack of soil moisture in Nebraska to diminish yields and the decline in commodity prices, the potential for an ACRE payment has increased. And he says revenue losses would not need to be so severe to trigger an ACRE payment. Lubben says, "Coupled with uncertainty about 2013 yields and prices, the ACRE guarantees, although still far below revenue projections, could be very valuable to producers and well worth the 20 percent of DPs given up to sign up for ACRE."
Decision Aid
Schnitkey has developed a web-based decision aid for any state, built on a large database of yields and prices. He says, "The ACRE Payment Estimator then provides a table of state ACRE payments times .85 for different state yields and marketing year average prices. Farms with higher yields than the state average will receive higher payments and vice versa." Currently, he says there is only a 27% chance of an ACRE payment in 2013 (in Illinois), but if one were received, it would be about $13 per acre.
Based on Schnitkey's decision aid, he says, "The 2013 ACRE Payment Estimator will provide an evaluation of the likelihood and size of ACRE payments. In most Midwest cases, expected ACRE payments are near what is given up in terms of direct payments. If protection is desired for low revenues, which may be caused by low prices, ACRE will be a suitable alternative."
Cornbelt farmers have the opportunity to sign up for ACRE in 2013 as part of the safety net offered in the extension of the 2008 Farm Bill. A payment is not guaranteed, but given the wide variety of soil moisture situations and production expectations, ACRE provides an option for financial risk management. A decision aid can assist in making the choice to forego a portion of direct payment for the ACRE program.

Arecent series of sexual assaults in the Valley Stream area rattled the community and left many residents stunned at the rare crime pattern. One suspect is in custody, and police say he is connected to at least two of the attacks, including a daytime rape at Valley Stream State Park on Sept. 1.
Following the attacks, several local civic organizations came together to host a crime forum at the Valley Stream American Legion hall on Sept. 12. Representatives of numerous law enforcement agencies, including the Nassau County police, the State Park police, the Nassau County district attorney's office, Public Safety and the Auxiliary Police were on hand. They provided valuable information about policing in Valley Stream, including crime statistics and ways for residents to better protect themselves.
One concern raised by community members was that county police did not release information about two sexual assaults, which occurred within 20 minutes of each other on Aug. 12 — one on Lois Place, in Lynbrook, and the other on Mill Road, in Valley Stream — until after the Sept. 1 incident. That was when police first realized that the three attacks could be related.
The suspect in custody, a 16-year-old from Queens, was charged in both the state park rape and the Mill Road attack. Police said that because of the ongoing investigation, they could not say why they did not immediately release information about the Aug. 12 attacks.
The public deserves to know why those attacks were not publicized sooner. If it was known then that there was a man who was a threat to the community, police should have acknowledged it right away. The state park attack might not have happened if the public had been alerted to the previous crimes and made aware of the suspect's description. Perhaps he could have been apprehended sooner.
And if the police wanted to withhold the subject's description for legitimate investigatory reasons — they weren't sure and didn't want to misidentify — they could have at least informed the public that the attacks had happened and to be on guard.
When it comes to public safety, residents want to help. They are willing to be the eyes and ears of the police who can't be everywhere. If public safety wasn't important to residents, they would not have filled the American Legion hall to hear from law enforcement officials, and volunteer organizations like the Valley Stream Civilian Patrol and Auxiliary Police units would not exist.
The public can be a valuable crime-fighting tool. Citizens should not be shielded from the details of horrific crime. For their own safety, they need to know what is happening so they can take the proper steps to protect themselves.
We hope that as the investigation wraps up, the police will give the public a sensible answer as to why the Aug. 12 crimes were not reported right away. We also hope that in the future, police will re-evaluate their procedures so that the public is more aware of criminal activity, and can help put the bad guys away sooner.

Seattle Magazine "Best in client satisfaction"
"I highly recommend George Beasley!!!"
George and his team are the finest real estate professionals I have ever worked with! I found myself in a difficult position recently; due to my Mother's failing health, we were forced to sell her home in Seattle very unexpectedly. I was in a panic because I live in Colorado and my Mother's house was full of furniture, clothes and everything else you can imagine. It would have taken me a month, (at least), to get the house cleaned out, cleaned up and repaired so we could get it on the market - I didn't have that kind of time. When I explained my situation to George he told me don't worry, I'll take care of everything. I was skeptical but he was telling me what I needed to hear so I thought I'd take a chance. It was the best decision I ever made! Within two weeks the house was empty, professionally cleaned, repaired and the sewer lines had been inspected. The house hit the market on a Friday, by the following Tuesday we had accepted an offer for $12,000 above the asking price! I was concerned that I would have to travel to Seattle for the closing, once again - George to the rescue! He sent a mobile notary to my home in Colorado on a Saturday! From start to finish the whole process took about five weeks! George did everything he said he would and more! He kept me informed and was a master at solving problems. He told me at the beginning that he would take care of everything and he did! I highly recommend George Beasley!!!
"I would —and already have— recommend him to anyone I know who is considering buying a home. Thanks so much, George!"
As a first time home buyer, my girlfriend and I were very new to basically everything involved with he process. We met with at least four other realtors during the beginning stages of our search, but did not feel they understood our needs or had our best interests at heart. George on the other hand, was extremely helpful to us. He took plenty of time to educate us, he made himself available whenever we asked, and most of all, he was very honest and genuine with us in the way that he presented each home that we viewed. George possesses all of the traits that, I feel, make for the most positive experience with a sales person: He is an excellent listener, he's great at identifying core needs, and most of all, I trusted him— if a deal wasn't something that would benefit us in the long run, George was the first to speak up about it. After 3 months of searching, George helped us find a place that we are absolutely thrilled with. I feel very lucky to have had my first home-buying experience be with someone like George. I would —and already have— recommend him to anyone I know who is considering buying a home. Thanks so much, George!
"I have bought a lot of real estate in my life - George stands out at the top of the list."
I have to say - I have bought a lot of real estate in my life - George stands out at the top of the list. When I first approached George to sell a condo for me a couple of years ago - he jumped in and had it sold in less then a week. When it was time to buy a condo in Seattle... it was an obvious choice for me to pick George to handle my search. I am not an easy client and I have a very high level of expectation... George is comfortable yet competent. I am glad to say I have a new Seattle realtor and a friend in George Beasley!!
"I met with many realtors before deciding to go with him."
George is an excellent realtor. I met with many realtors before deciding to go with him. Save yourself some time and hassle and just call him first! He always made time to show me houses, and had just the right amount of input - never tried to "sell" me something, but pointed out things to consider. He also made me feel like I was his only client. After deciding on a house, it became clear again I made an excellent choice with him. Along every small hurdle along the way, George was always calm, patient, and professional. Buying a home can be an overwhelming process, and I would not have been able to do it without his guidance! I will be recommending him to people looking to buy a home. Thanks again George!
"knowledgeable and efficient, but personable and responsive."
George was the ideal realtor. A true professional, he listened to my 'must haves' and tirelessly set out to match me with the right property. It was refreshing to work with someone who was not only knowledgeable and efficient, but personable and responsive. A fine negotiator, George's patience pays off.
"George even took the time to help us with details way beyond what I would expect"
I cannot even convey to how wonderful George was in helping us find our perfect residence. He was extremely polite, knowledgable and patient with the arduous task of helping us to relocate from Texas to Washington. George even took the time to help us with details way beyond what I would expect a realtor to do (from assisting us with a storage/furniture issue to meeting us countless times last minute at the residence to facilitate the re model we were scrambling to assemble before moving in). George is a true professional!
"He has provided some of the best customer service I've ever experienced"
George is an amazing guy. He has provided some of the best customer service I've ever experienced. I met him the first time I came to Seattle to visit my daughter. Over the next four years, every time I came back to Seattle he would make himself available to show me what was on the market and at the same time help me to understand the city and it's many neighborhoods. You can tell George loves Seattle, and you can't help but catch the bug from him. When I bought my new home in June of this year, site unseen, I had no hesitations because he understood what I was looking for and he knew when he'd found it. I couldn't be happier.
"I have now completed two home purchases working with George and I will not hesitate to contact George when the time come to sell."
Do yourself a favor, call George, you will thank yourself later – trust me. I have now completed two home purchases working with George and I will not hesitate to contact George when the time come to sell and begin a new home search. When I initially contacted George nearly 5 years ago I was embarking on my first home purchase, a renovation project, I was tentative and green to the home-buying process. George took the time to ease my nerves and listened to my needs and wants. He didn't push me to look at anything that was out of my price range. I remember being hesitant to share my budget being it was my first home purchase and my budget was, well, my budget and all I could afford at the time. George had a great outlook on working with me, "I will treat you just like any other client with a million dollar budge," and he didn't disappoint. George was attentive, seemed to always be available and was a pleasure to work with. The first purchase was painless. We toured about 10 properties and I made my decision rather quickly. My second purchase with George was a little different as I am now married. The inventory within the market had shifted, it was a seller's market with multiple over-list offers coming in for each property. My wife and I toured about 30-35 properties, making several offers that were all outbid. George never lost hope and stayed focused on the task at hand in a very competitive market. Ultimately George delivered once again, representing our offer very well and was able to negotiate a price below ask closing price in a market that wasn't yielding many wins for the buyer. George is a class act, listens and is an agent I trust. In this day and age, trust isn't necessarily the first description many would associate with an agent. Now do yourself that favor, call George and see what this great agent can do for you and yours.
"George Beasley is an amazing realtor!"
George Beasley is an amazing realtor. Not only did I buy from him, but he was so great I also reached out and had him sell my place. He is very knowledgable of the market and is on top of everything. I moved out of state and entrusted him enough to take care of everything. We sold in three weeks. I would recommend him everyday of the week.
"Great realtors possess a unique combination of patience and urgency"
Great realtors possess a unique combination of patience and urgency. Specifically, patience before their clients pull the trigger and urgency afterwards. That was exactly what we got with George. We knew what we were looking for in a house and he respected that, was very patient with our questions, and was always responsive even for same-day viewings. He was ready to hit the ground running on all 3 offers we made and gave us honest and thoughtful advice about negotiating.
"George made us feel like we were his only client"
George made us feel like we were his only client. He is patient, personable and very knowledgeable about the real estate market and savvy with negotiating in a professional and ethical manner. He helped us find a new home as well as sell our current home. George would always make himself available either by phone or text and to go see houses at our convenience. We never felt pressure to put an offer on a house and we never felt he was in a hurry to rush off to his next client. George did an amazing job for us and I would highly recommend him to anyone. If we ever move again we will definitely call George!

What is Cloud Bible flight 110?
A "cloud" Bible Study Puppy weighing in at a nimble 126 MB. Cloud Bible 110 welcomes the removal of all Office apps by Quirky NOP 1.2. It is a "Cloud" computing system and Quirky NOP 1.2 continues to be its most excellent platform! I can not say enough about NOP 1.2. As well as its removal of Office apps it also provides a wonderful XFCE environment for Internet links on the desktop as well as excellent connectivity tools. In addition, it handles most media formats encountered in the "Cloud".
Prominent links are provided on the desktop to Google Docs, Mail and Calender to keep productivity in the "cloud". Flight 110 adds a link to Google Docs tutorial videos.
Quick Pet and Pwireless2 have been added to the Quirky set-up along with a desktop re-design and wallpaper. The toolbars have been spread about with dozens of web launch points for instant Bible productivity and study.
Flight 110 has removed Osmo, xfdiff-cut, xlock-gui and xlock more.
Flight 110 comes with two quality new pre-loaded alternate backgrounds as well as a new standard background, all photographed and edited by me.
The boot images have been changed to accuratly reflect Cloud Bible version in flight 110.
Flight 110 adds Remove Buildin Packages, Moo Remastering tool and pmirrorget 0.1.
The Firefox browser has been given a customized Bible theme. Prism for Firefox 1.0b3, Bible Toolbar 3.6.0, Bibleserver.com Toolbar 3.0, Google Shortcuts 2.0.9 and Import to Google Docs 2.0 have been added to the Firefox browser for gliding in the "clouds".
Flight 110 adds Speed Dial 0.9.5.6 which is used with a special yellow colored icon on the top launch tray to instantly provide hundreds upon hundreds of video classes covering every chapter of the Bible.
A Google shortcut, SafeSearch for Kids remains prominently placed on the lower left toolbar.
A quick launch button is also provided to the Cloud Bible Information Blog;
When the desktop appears, you have the feeling of being in a cockpit.

Thanks for your comments. Now working on a heavy version of Cloud Bible. Have taken Lucid Puppy 5.1.1 and added XFCE4. The final stage of development will hopefully be an image cd from which all versions can be booted along with any other resources that can be added. The end road- Lord willing..

Well, permit me to add a somewhat different point of view....
When I was young I attended Bible "study" in church. I put the word study in quotes becuase, well, it was lacking something. That something that was missing seems to also be missing in your descriptions provided of your project at the top of this thread. Perhaps I just missed it. But, to be explicit, what seems to be missing is, well, the points of view from those that do not believe --- those that have contrary views as to the validity of the Bible.
When I was young and attended church Bible "study", I was one of those kids that had questions --- questions that the Bible sunday school class didn't have the answer to (and in some cases were hostile to the questions even being asked).
Later in life I found others had questions like the ones I had. I would suggest you consider including links to a few web sites that bring up some of those questions.
For example, consider adding these three resources to your list of study resources:
I. Skeptic's Annotated Bible / Quran / Book of Mormon.
II. Iron Chariots Wiki
Iron Chariots is intended to provide information on apologetics and counter-apologetics.
The site appropriately inspired by this from Judges 1:19:
"And the LORD was with Judah; and he drave out the inhabitants of the mountain;
but could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots
of iron"
III. Ray Comforts Blog "Atheist Central"
You may find it odd that I would have Ray's web site here --- but Ray does such a poor job responding to regular posters (like the poster "Steven J" --- and for the record I'm not "Steven J") that Ray himself exposes the key defects and problems in the Bible.
Ok, that should be enough. Hope you don't mind that made these suggestions. But if you really want to study the Bible, you should tackle the issues and questions of those that have different points of view. Otherwise, your Bible study is simply a one-sided group think exercise. An exercise that will gloss over or minimize the hard questions others might have.

Post subject: Great sounding product
Subject description: Additions
Hi Jody,
This sounds like a wonderful project that would help me with the computer lab at my church. I work in IT (Networking/PC support) so I was asked to take over a computer lab running windows 98 and XP machines with very old hardware. I was also asked to teach Sunday School for a rotating classes. One week I have first and second graders, another third and fourth grade, fifth and sixth grade the next week. We go over the bible story that is scheduled (We try to link up with what Pastor Marco's sermon is about) talk about it and then play bible games on the computers. My question to you is do you know of any good online or offline bible games that would appeal to these age groups? Also if you had any links to setting up bible study lesions that would be wonderful.
To rxr,
I feel that it is in our very nature to question everything. In fact as a Christian it is a responsibility to question what my beliefs are, what they mean to me, and how I feel the Lord's presence in my life and when I don't feel that presence as strongly as I would like. There are a lot of questions out there. In fact it feels as though there are nothing but questions outside of church. Questions that often that not only challenge your belief system (Which is healthy) but can seem to be dismissive and demeaning to a large groups of peoples or religions.
As a Sunday school teacher I feel that it is my responsibility to have the kids who come to class get something out of the lesson. For my purposes I feel that to be in the Bible and Bible centric activities and software. I will never have all of the answers and I am OK with that but I will never give a kid a hard time for asking questions. If I cannot answer them great. I have something new to learn. I am sorry that you where treated the way you should have been in Sunday school and were punished for being curious. That's the opposite of what should have happened. God bless you and may you find the answers to the questions you have.

So, when is Bible "study" nothing more than cult indoctrination? Did David Koresh, Jim Jones, the Moonies, etc... engage in Bible "study" or brainwashing?
I suggested some alternative points of view easily found on the web for your project. Its up to you guys to decide if your going to engage in real study or just the standard Bible "study" routine (=brainwashing).

Dear rxr,
The following Audio/Video Links may be found on Cloud Bible flight 110;
Warren-Flew Debate On The Existence of God (28 videos)
Laws-Schoenig Debate On The Existence of God (12 videos)
Butt/Barker Debate: Does God Exist? (Darwin Day Debate 2009 MP3)
World Religions (20 videos- Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Shintoism, Confucianism, Judaism, Animism, Taoism, Zoroatrianism, Jainism, Sikhism, The New Age Movement)
The New Age Movement (6 videos)
Christian Evidences (28 videos)
There are numerous other links of interest to be delved out of the Cloud Bible which time does not permit me to list at this time. I did not attain my faith through indoctrination, but through active exploration. Questions are to be laid bare and be examined if one is expected to grow in knowledge and move closer to the truth..
In His Love- Jody

Thank God for your efforts. I am not a "coder," and only run Puppy (4.3.1 and 5.1.1) on a couple of older PC's, but i see the potential. I need the Office apps, but i run TheWord Bible (close to E-sword in functionality: http://www.theword.gr/index.php?article.download) software under Wine fine, even on a 450mhz pc (i choose compact install). And also the BPBible (choose for USB disks, http://bpbible.com/download)
You have to navigate to the Wine folder in the root folder, with its C drive and Program files and drag the exe to the Desktop to get a link, but they runs well, thanks be to God.
As for apologetical resources, i have some worthy links if you want them, as we are to study to answer.

Hi just a note with the
md5 sum (md5checksum)
all you need to do is after you create your os and the iso you can generate a md5sum for it somehow (i don't know ) then include it next to any information for the iso itself. then you can actually provide the est service. its good that you have created this Cloud bible I like the idea. there are many ideas you can do. if you are going to add a 0penoffice, bible application and other things to the os great but remember it makes it bigger.
there are several options for a bible program you can use.
the popular E-sword is a good choice (only available in windows) there is already infomation about this for other christian puppy linux os. in lighthouse pup E-Sword has a built in wine installer (contact the lighthouse puppy developers or leave a note in the lighthouse puppy forum page)
also Jsword http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=55691&sid=38e459d84033c22c05e17e42c214d8f9 this is a good version adn BigMike has done alot of work on this. origionally designed to run in pupy 431 might work in quirky.
there is also an sfs for bible time found in the lighthouse puppy site. http://www.lhpup.org/download500.htm#Bibletime
pluss other bible apps already dine for other versions of puppy linux.

Toro Rosso launches new STR9
Toro Rosso has become the latest team to officially launch their 2014 car after taking the covers off the STR9 at the Jerez circuit.
The STR9 is the first Toro Rosso car to have a Renault engine, as the team ends a seven-year affiliation with Ferrari. There is also a change to driver personnel this year, as Daniil Kvyat replaces the outgoing Daniel Ricciardo.
Jean-Eric Vergne has been retained for a third season, and will effectively assume the mantle of team leader following Ricciardo's promotion to Red Bull. The Frenchman will also be the first to get behind the wheel of the STR9 as the team takes to the track for the first time on Tuesday.
The STR9 keeps the traditional Toro Rosso livery and and features a prominent nose which is expected to be a common feature up and down the grid in 2014. After three online launches the STR9 is the first to be unveiled in front of the media, with the team doing so in the Jerez pitlane ahead of the first day of testing.
Technical director James Key said the car had been designed for reliability testing of the new engine and is a long way from the finished article.
"This is a platform to run the power unit at the moment," he said. "There is a lot of stuff to come and there are a lot of ideas which are emerging. We'll see them when the season begins. This isn't a performance week, it's a reliability week. We've got this opportunity now to learn the measure of the power unit and how well we are managing it with the chassis and the drivers will get a feel for how the car is behaving. We then have a gap until the Bahrain test when we can address a lot of that stuff with Renault as is required."
By using Renault engines, Toro Rosso now shares the same powerunits as the senior Red Bull team as well as its gearbox. Key said that has allowed the two to work together on some aspects, but not the chassis itself.
"We're using the gearbox internals with Red Bull and it's allowed us to discuss the same conditions that you get from the power unit. That's worked very well and the relationship with Red Bull is working very well for us. There's not that much you can do beyond that little bit of stuff that is related to the engine, and beyond that you very quickly get to the chassis side."
