Karaganda (AsiaNews) - Inaugurated on Sunday, the new cathedral of Karaganda, Kazakhstan, has a "dignified appearance," standing as "an epitaph" and a place of "expiation in honour of the victims" of Communist persecution, as well as a symbol of "evangelisation," this according to a pastoral letter issued by the country's bishops. For the event, the pope during last Sunday's Angelus sent his "cordial greetings" to "Catholics and all citizens of Kazakhstan". The Holy Father appointed Card Angelo Sodano, dean of the College of Cardinals, as his legate to the dedication of the neo-Gothic Cathedral (pictured) of Our Lady of Fatima, "Mary, Mother of All nations."
The cathedral was build on a site know as 'KARKAG,' an anagram made up from the two words: KARaganda and LAGer. The Karaganda Concentration camps covered an area as big as present-day France, "hosting" victims of political and religious persecution that included thousands of Polish, Ukrainian, German, Lithuanian and Belorussian Catholics. With priests among them, an underground Church was organised.
On 19 March 1977, the authorities gave official permission for the first public Mass in the city of Karaganda. It was held in a shack. On 29th June 1980, for the first time in over six centuries, a Catholic Bishop, Mgr Alexander Khira, celebrated the liturgy publically on the soil of Kazakhstan. The last bishop before him was a man named Mgr Richard of Burgundy, who died a martyr's death about the year 1340.
"Taking into consideration the countless numbers of prisoners who passed through the Karlag forced-labour camps, suffering and eventually perishing there, it is fair to say that soil of Kazakhstan has in no other place been so thoroughly soaked in the blood and tears of more innocent victims of Communist repression than here in Karaganda," the bishops wrote in their letter.
Speaking to about 1,500 people present in the church, Cardinal Sodano referred in his homily to the "long period of suffering" of the past.
In describing the new cathedral, he called it a "privileged place where we can publicly worship God, and receive from him light and strength for our journey."
During the function, the prelate called on the Virgin to protect Kazakhstan's Christian communities.
Coincidentally, local authorities gave the Catholic Church permission to build the church on 13 May 2003, anniversary of the first apparition of the Virgin of Fatima.

Role models become role models, when you acknowledge them for their actions and for their conscious decision of being a little bit different (mostly better) from the rest – who- or whatever "the rest" is. However, role models need a certain audience to fully become role models in the first place. Only with that audience role models can use their position to influence other people. For instance Beth Ditto of the outstanding band Gossip, who is aware of her function as a role model – for overweight and therefore harassed people. She tries to change things by simply talking about it, hoping but not knowing whether she might succeed in the end.
I always thought of Amy MacDonald to be a good role model for someone who is young, extremely talented but … also way too introvert and unalluring (as in: not fulfilling the mainstream criteria for beauty) to make it in a all idol influenced pop scene – but somehow she did. I love her songs. I like her lyrics a lot and I really find her utterly inspiring. I loved to see her live in concert about a year ago in a pretty small venue. Back then she seemed like a down to earth girl, with an old pair of jeans and Chucks, a shy smile, very charming, with two pounds more on her hips … and a very beautiful voice, authentically performing her songs with a lot of heart to it and soul. That was last year. Unfortunately she gave away her role model status very recently – at least for me…
I saw her opening the IFA in Berlin a few days ago and I was shocked. She must have lost at least 15 pounds, her hair seemed to be cut by the same hair dresser Paris Hilton or the Olson twins are choosing, and she was peroxide blonde. To top it: she wore high heels. When she performed the first songs, it was more than obvious that there was something unfitting. Was she bored to perform the same songs over and over again for the last three years? Did she feel well in her clothes? Was she asked to dress up like that? What was that change? And to my utter surprise: I thought she looked good, although she didn't seem to have much fun performing. At first I didn't know what to think of it … and I am still puzzled.
I like change, quite a bit. Why am I disappointed to see her dress up for the American market? Why does it shock me to find her mainstream look attractive? And what the hell was it, that I was so utterly missing. By the end of the concert, I knew. Somehow with the pounds and her brown, long hair – she lost her charm.

My cat is named Scout. She is soft and sweet and cuddly and loving to me and friendly to strangers. She is also protective of the outdoor area around our house. My legal property! And she howls for me to come help her whenever one of the endless menacing feral tomcats infringe on our territory.
But there have been whispers of a different Scout. Scout's once best friends, my next door neighbors, have had a word with me about her over zealous protectionism of their front porch. And her hissy window behavior towards their indoor kitty Amelia. I was horrified and tried to keep a closer eye on my Scoutie. And they also mentioned that she goes across the street and picks fights with other kitties. Sometimes strays.
I found that hard to believe. Scoutie's a Mama's Kitty. Always in a defensive crouch against the intruders on our land. Calling out for me to back her up...
So now, as I am on the outside porch with Scout and I actually see her jump down and attack a stray kitty in another yard....not ours....I know it is time for tough love. But I don't know what?
Drag away and spank? Wait for her to call out to me and ignore?

What does it mean to get rid of borders in practice? originally appeared on Quora - the knowledge sharing network where compelling questions are answered by people with unique insights.
Answer by Alex Tabarrok, Economist, MarginalRevolution, TED talk in 2009, on Quora.
I'd like to see a world of more open borders for both moral and economic reasons. I expand on these arguments in my article, The Case for Getting Rid of Borders--Completely. (See also the excellent resource page openborders.info).
I don't, however, expect us to open the borders to China tomorrow. Yet it may surprise people to know the United States has in fact signed an open borders treaty with China! The Burlingame Treaty of 1868 proclaimed in terms accepted by China and the United States that "[we] recognize the inherent and inalienable right of man to change his home and allegiance..." Sadly, the Burlingame Treaty was superseded in 1882 by the plainly racist Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, the first law preventing a specific ethnic group from immigrating to the United States. The examples of history should be encouraging, however. More change is possible than of the status quo dreams.
What concrete steps can the world take to move down this path?
First, I would open the United States to high-skill immigration from anywhere in the world with no quotas whatsoever. This is what I have called a no-brainer policy. (Actually our current policy of not letting smart people in is the "no-brainer" policy but you get the idea.)
High-skill immigrants innovate, patent, and start new firms at higher rates than natives. At least one-quarter of the new firms in technology and science fields, from software and semiconductors to biotech, are founded by immigrants. In Silicon Valley, more than half of the high-tech start-ups were founded by immigrants. High skill immigrants especially with degrees in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (aka: STEM) create more jobs and higher wages for Americans. Increasing high-skill immigration is a win-win policy for increasing innovation.
Second we should create a straightforward route to permanent residency for foreign-born students who graduate with advance degrees from American universities, particularly in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics. We educate some of the best and brightest students in the world in our universities and then on graduation day we tell them, "Thanks for visiting. Now go home!" It's hard to imagine a more short-sighted policy to reduce America's capacity for innovation.
Third we should take inspiration from the European Union and create a North American Union. Quoting from the EU:
Free movement of workers is a fundamental principle of the Treaty enshrined in Article 45 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and developed by EU secondary legislation and the Case law of the Court of Justice. EU citizens are entitled to:
look for a job in another EU country
work there without needing a work permit
reside there for that purpose
stay there even after employment has finished
enjoy equal treatment with nationals in access to employment, working conditions and all other social and tax advantages
The European Union is the greatest political accomplishment of the twentieth century. It's a profound advance for a region that had been riven for hundreds of years by wars and hatred. (The monetary union was not a good idea, but that is a separate issue as are some of the relatively minor current issues with refugees (yes, very minor for Europe compared with WWI and WWII).)
Thus, I would like to see a North American Union comparable to the European Union. We already have a free trade agreement with our largest trading partner, Canada. Goods and capital travel easily across the Canadian border let's open the border to people as well! If French citizens can work in Germany without a permit then surely we do not need work permits for Canadians and vice-versa.
Let's start with Canada, as we did with free trade, but then let's open the border between the United States, Canada and Mexico. The best way to stop illegal immigration is to make it legal! Let's also not assume that the travel would be all one way. A great many American citizens would like to buy land and retire in Mexico with high quality health care and services. Mexico should make it easier for Canadians and Americans to live and work in Mexico. Open borders are open both ways.
There is a danger in creating free movement blocks if the blocks become ever more isolated from one another. What I would hope, however, is that over time we can make the blocks ever more connected. We already have a very successful defense treaty with Europe, NATO. If we are close enough to provide for our common defense then we are close enough to allow any NATO citizen to work or reside in any NATO country. Open the NATO borders!
Turning to the question. How would this work specifically? The transition will take time but a world of open borders would work much like the world does today. In the United States, for example, as one crosses the border from Kentucky to Tennessee, motorcyclists have to put on a helmet, a host of other laws change, the tax authority changes, even the culture changes but no one questions the right of an American to move about the country in the pursuit of happiness.
Fear of foreigners is built deep into our DNA but so is the ability to expand the moral circle and redefine who is foreign. I look forward to the day when we recognizes the free movement of all people as a human right.

Price: $3,055.99
Quantity: 1 available
Book Condition: Good
On offer is a notebook journal of a young man who would go on to become a note antiquarian and archaeologist. This journal is a small 2-ring, flip-top style binder containing 134 pages. It measures 7.5 inches by 4.75 inches and is about 95% complete. It is in good condition and the handwriting is legible. Accompanying the journal is a lovely black and white photograph taken of the author when he was an infant. Eric Hyde Lord Sexton was born in 1902 in New York City in 1902. He came from a wealthy family. He studied at Princeton University initially and then earned an MA from Harvard. Travelling to England, he studied at Oxford, earning a BLitt. Returning to the United States, he joined the faculty of Harvard and taught archaeology. He was also a noted antiquarian and was a Fellow of the British Society of Antiquarians. He wrote several books and when he passed away in 1980, he left an unfinished book on life in Saxon England. In WWII, he served in the U.S. army as an Intelligence Officer, having attained the rank of Major. This journal, written when he was 16, appears to be both a daily journal and a class writing exercise. Some of the entries show definite signs of having been corrected or reviewed. It covers the period from Oct. 15th, 1918 until Dec 13th, 1918. His entries recount daily events and are written in a very stylized manner, as if writing for an older audience, perhaps his teacher. The following excepts will give a flavour of this journal: "Today I persued my regular course of studies. During my free time in the afternoon I secured detention for neglecting yesterday to tell the "prefect" that I had re-swept my room. Later in the afternoon I surveyed until it was time for my English class. I was very interested in hearing the excellent answer made by our President to the German note of peace proposals. I wish the war would come to a speedy and victorious finish so that my dear father could regain some of his former health and vigor. .." [Oct 13]; "This day I attended school chapel as usual and posted the list of library rewards. I went, after the morning service to the room of H.E. Scheidt, a professor at this place where I perused a good deal of the literature pertaining to Harvard University. I found this most interesting to me and remained there till about lunch time. In the afternoon, I had a period at the piano with one Mr. Schenk, a Jew from the violins of the New York Symphony orchestra. ..." [Oct 20]. What is interesting is that whoever was marking his work stroked out the word Jew with a red marking pen. None-the-less, it illustrates the ongoing problem of discrimination engrained in the fabric of the United States, both then and extending forward over the next century. "When I awoke this morning, I heard all of the church bells ringing in town and when I got up to the buildings I found that peace had been declared. This time it is no idle rumor. The whole school attended chapel. The headmaster said we could celebrate by following our usual course of study but that in the evening we would march in town in the regular battalion formation. We were excused from classes in the afternoon. ..." [Nov 11]. For a social historian, this journal offers an excellent look into the private school life of students from well-to-do families in New England. It addresses directly and indirectly the cultural norms and values of that segment of society which was the source of many of America's future leaders and social influential members of society.

Alot of people want to get into airbrushing but seem to get somewhat set back when they find out that airbrushing is not an accredited vocational skill amungst almost all of the national academic institutions. In Australia airbrush is making strides with a program called the Venturi program, which is a pioneered system reaching out through many venues and has integrated itself through a state sponsored backing, thus helping it gain leverage for the skill as it continues to evolve. This blog is to help the incoming novice understand how to approach the steps in entering this skill. First of all, if your going to do custom airbrush in the automotive graphics field, you will need to start a 6 month hybernation period inside of a body shop, via it be a "backyard boogie" or an established functional production shop. This is utterly important hence the basic knowledge of basecoats, clearcoats, and all of the fancy paints will give you the confidence and accelerate the comfort level when it comes to that intimidating moment when you get your first carhood order or tailgate. Next allow yourself another 6 months of unsolicited, unincumbered, escapism and build a body of work that is uncompromisable. An example of this is : if your going to do welding helmets do 15 of them well and execute them with precision ( Do not compromise the integrity because your work is your sales force simultaneously). 98% of the 3,000 students I have taught know what the cheap, fuzzy, rushed looking airbrush stuff looks like, and know inherently that it continues to set airbrushing back 20 years everytime someone produces low quality work within the field. The standard for airbrush is being raised and there is a global trail of etiquette that is now being followed for incoming novices and artisans alike. It is very difficult for someone to build a body of work when they perhaps do not know specifically what they are good at. An osmosis will sometimes occur immediately and sometimes it will not but the main point is that if you can corner what your good at in the inception of learning, then time, chance and money will be on your side. It is of utter importance to not limit yourself to any particular surfaces, for example, if you learn woodgrain, you could be a faux painter and apply it to home decor. If you learn True Fire, you could put it on vintage refridgerators and not just vehicles. If you learn animation, you could put it on tire covers which are floating around the city (which thousands of people will see at stoplights every year ). The point is that if this skill is in your blood then you will eventually make money, and the people who succeed in this field are not just the innately talented artists, this is actually quite the opposite. Alot of talented artists are co-existing because their introverted personalitys keep them in submission for 10-20 years, then they finally get fed up and build a body of work. I always teach my students the importance of planting "seeds" when you start hitting the trail to make money. Dance clubs are one of the best places to start because dance clubs will usually offer the ability to do t-shirts or custom mural work at your own leisure. Whichever you choose, the way you approach this environment (via a concept of bartering space for work or perhaps an outright 25% comission on everything you sell via garments, body art or whatever ) the bottom line is that you need foot traffic to sell anything, and when you have 800 or more people who are intoxicated with music thumping in the background you have major leverage in the "point of sale" department. Back to "planting seeds"… If you are inside of a dance club doing murals and selling random imagery, or just hussling body art and t-shirts, you should never be dependent on just that one environment. Dance club revenue is usually more prosperous on the weekends but if the beginning of the week is dry, start hitting the furniture stores and airbush angels on coffee tables or dressers, or drop a couple of welding helmets off in the paint stores or body shops or drop a few t-shirts off at the record stores etc etc. This is just a small part of the information I have on how to get started in the field. -David Morton

How do we feed the world with zero land expansion and ocean depletion? What is good food? How can we end malnutrition? How can new technology save our food system? These were just some of the questions raised during the EAT Food Forum 2018. Chris Claes, Executive Co-Director of Rikolto, attended the event, which was held in Stockholm, Sweden, on 11 and 12 June.
The Forum welcomed more than 600 delegates from 50 countries and a wide range of organisations: the World Bank, the World Business Council, multinational companies such as Nestlé, Coca Cola and Unilever, and experts from government, UN institutes, cities, academia, the world of philanthropy and civil society, as well as innovative new businesses and even the culinary community. The main theme was "the broken food system of our world".

When the Nevarech bencher first appeared in 1999, it attracted attention. The notion of integrating full-page color photographs with the text of birkat hamazon caught people's eyes. The beauty of the photographs, and he fact that they brought images of Eretz Yisrael into the birkat hamazon (perhaps redirecting the attention of that prayer to al ha-aretz hatovah), was, to many, irresistible.
As the common saying goes, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Since 1999, a number of other photographically rich birkhonim have hit the market, including the Toby Birkon (by The Toby Press) and the Praise the Land of Israel Birkon (by Koren). At a recent wedding it became clear just how far the genre had penetrated the psyche, when the family of the groom put together their own, personalized, photographic birkhon which they distributed to their guests.
In 2011, Koren moved beyond the birkhon, publishing the Koren Shabbat Evening Siddur. This slim volume is built on the foundations of the Koren Sacks Siddur, with the elegant translation and commentary of Britain's Chief Rabbi, Jonathan Sacks. It adds comments from a number of younger rabbinical figures as well as an entire section it calls "Limmud Shabbat." The innovation here is not so much in the selection of texts, most of which already appear in many siddurim (KeGavna, from the Sefardic tradition, Bameh Madlikin, from the Ashkenazic tradition, and Shir Hashirim, often recited by Oriental Jews), but in their classification as texts to study rather than to recite. This presentation is not only true to the origins of those texts in the siddur, but is probably linked to the siddur's target audience: traditional and progressive minyanim in many contexts, from standard denominational to experimental services, from community service to Birthright trips, from classroom settings to weekend retreats (from promotional materials provided by the publisher).
Although the text of this siddur is clearly Orthodox, it seems to be designed for an audience seeking not to discharge of their religious obligation on Friday night but to participate in a meaningful religious experience. As Rabbi Yehudah Sarna (University Chaplain of the Bronfman Center for Jewish Student Life at New York University) writes in his introduction: "The object you hold is not a Reader or a Prayerbook: it is a propeller of movements upward, outward, and inward. It is designed to be utilized by those navigating for the community to maximize the prayer experience."
Which, of course, brings us to the other defining feature of the book, the photographs which accompany the text. The Kabbalat Shabbat section of the tefillah is accompanied by 12 full-page photographs designed to serve as a visual commentary, and the text of Shir Hashirim has another dozen pages adorned by smaller photos. The specific line of the text being commented on by the photo is highlighted in a matching color, so that there is little guesswork about the connection between the textual and the visual.
All in all this siddur is designed to be easy to use, easy to read, easy to hold, pleasant on the eyes, and inspiring during those portions of the prayer that are often slowed down or receive special focus in synagogue or Friday evening group prayer services.
If the Koren Friday Night Siddur is the equivalent of dipping one's toes into a pool, then the Nehalel siddur could be described as leaping into that pool. At the end of 2012, the producer of the Nevarech bencher took the approach a quantum leap forward, publishing the Nehalel siddur for Shabbat (all Shabbat, not just Friday night). This is a hefty volume with nearly 650 pages, most of which are adorned with full-page photographs. The paper is glossy, bringing out the beauty of the photographs. While in the Koren Friday Night Siddur the photos sit on the side and offer a commentary, in the Nehalel siddur the text often appears as part of the photo itself. One cannot read the text without seeing the image. The text and the photos are woven seamlessly (here too the photo and the text are linked by shifting the color of the line being highlighted), and the effect is truly dramatic. My six-year old daughter, looking at Birkhot Hashahar,could not stop marveling at the juxtaposition of Neil Armstrong walking on the moon with a baby's first steps as an illustration/commentary on the blessing of hameikhin mitzadei gaver.
While the Koren Friday Night Siddur seems to be geared at an audience of youth groups, college campuses, Birthright trips, or other communal prayer groups both within and dancing around traditional Orthodox prayer, the Nehalel siddur is clearly oriented to Orthodox prayer (although I am sure that others will appreciate its artistic interpretations). This is a serious tome designed to assist regular shul-goers in enhancing their tefillah. It introduces an entirely new English translation designed to convey not just the meaning of the text but its feel as well; people who want to pray from the English will not feel like they are reciting from something foreign, but, as Micahel Haruni (who is the man behind this volume) writes in his introduction, " a sense of speaking to God in a more distinctly Jewish voice." The siddur is also meticulous in its typography, including distinguishing between sheva na and sheva nach (sic), kamatz katan and kamatz gadol, and accent notes to ensure proper pronunciation. Orthodox Jews will feel comfortable with the transliterated names as well, so that this siddur has Avraham not Abraham, Moshe not Moses, Rivkah and not Rebecca. (Full disclosure: I wrote an introduction to the Nehalel siddur, but have no financial interest in it.)
There is much to say about each of the above books individually and together, and I am sure that other reviewers will comment on issues of layout, choice of images, typography, the translations, the propriety of using images in a siddur, and a host of other issues. I would like, instead, to focus on two issues: the experience of using these siddurim and the educational implication of the medium.
One thing that all these books have in common is the desire to use images as commentary on the prayers, and as inspiration for prayer. The inspiration happens in two ways. First, the images themselves are often evocative and moving, and they are apparently chosen precisely for that effect. Second, the effect is intensified by the fact that the page layout, with eye-catching photos and relatively few words on a two-page spread (often a single chapter or even less), forces whoever uses the siddur to slow down. It is difficult to race through the tefillah, and for people who need an extra push to focus on their prayers that is welcome. (I have heard some people say that they need to find a new place to daven when they use these siddurim, since their current shuls move too fast.) Regardless of whether a particular image resonates with us or not, the time and energy invested contemplating the question already deepens the experience of tefillah.
On the educational level these siddurim open up new possibilities. One theme which keeps emerging in educational conventions, online discussions, private conversations, and the literature is the challenge of tefillah in day schools. Non-Orthodox schools, who are not bound as tightly by halakhic requirements, have found multiple ways to explore making tefillah more meaningful. Orthodox schools, by contrast, are far more challenged. They feel an obligation for daily prayer, and one in which minimal requirements for saying the words limits the opportunities for creative meaning-making in tefillah.
Imagine that the image-rich siddur is presented to the students as a model, one form of connecting the words with inspiration (indeed, with different kinds of learners, we should not be surprised that non-verbal learners should find tefillah from a standard siddur a significant challenge). Students are then tasked to find their own images, whether from photos they've taken, from what they found in image banks, or from what they create, and connect those to the words in their own ways. Each student, in effect, is writing his own visual commentary on the tefillah. Those images could be collected and posted on a blog or a website to share. Or imagine that a class takes a particular tefillah, such as barekhi nafshi, and divides its verses amongst the students, so that each student is responsible for one visual image for one verse. Putting it together in to a slideshow, the result could be not only visually stunning, but could provide a medium through which students will have connected personally and communally to a prayer which they will all think about differently when they encounter it.
The new genre of siddur opens possibilities both for tefillah and for tefillah education. The Jewish community, and the educational community, are better off for their introduction to the Jewish bookshelf.

Day 2: Seattle, WA
Having been joined by the final two authors (Wayne Thomas Batson, LB Graham) we started the day off with a TV interview for TBN in Federal Way, and then raced back to Seattle for a booksigning, followed by another booksigning event in Enumclaw. It was a high octane day that kept us on our toes.
At the end of the night, we all arrived back at my house (Chris) for a giant sleepover with some of our favorite authors. How cool is that!?

Number of H1N1 Flu-Related Deaths in United States Surpasses 1,000
re Americans have been vaccinated against seasonal flu this fall than ever before by this time of year, federal health officials said Friday.
Sixty million people have gotten the winter flu vaccine — probably because they're paying more attention to flu warnings in general, thanks to swine flu. It's an unprecedented number of seasonal flu shots for October; most usually aren't given until later in the fall.
"We have seen, since the beginning of the pandemic in April and May, more than 1,000 deaths from pandemic influenza and more than 20,000 hospitalizations in this country," Thomas Frieden, head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), told a weekly news briefing.
"We have had, up until now, many millions of cases of pandemic influenza in the US, and the numbers continue to increase," Frieden said, lamenting the scarcity of H1N1 vaccine.

Is there value in deadlocks in the Active Democracy process?
An acquaintance asked about the wisdom of disqualifying groups that become deadlocked, i.e., triads that are unable to select one of their members to represent the other two in the time allotted for their decision. It seems to me the potential for, and need to resolve, deadlocks is one of the strong points of Active Democracy. I would welcome other points of view, to broaden my perspective.
I think disqualifying deadlocks is a strong point because those who wish to become leaders, must, virtually by definition, have strong egos. As they advance they will encounter others with as strong a wish to advance as themselves. This should produce some intellectually intense confrontations.
The ability to make a selection depends on the characteristics of the participants. Traits we may anticipate in people with strong egos are various levels of obstinacy, persuasiveness. susceptibility to reason and willingness to compromise. These are important qualities, but whether or not their holders will make good leaders (and good public servants) depends on the mix.
If, for example, all three participants are so obstinate they will not act to break a deadlock ... they would rather go down than yield ... would we consider them potentially good leaders? From another perspective, if none of the participants is able to persuade the others that selection is preferable to disqualification, isn't it improbable that they would be good public officials?
There are other aspects. For one thing, above some level, the candidates are assured a public office. Maybe not the office they'd like, but an office in which they can demonstrate their excellence so they can advance further in the next succeeding election cycle. Since disqualification takes them out of the mix entirely there will be an added incentive to make a selection.
In my opinion, candidates that allow themselves to be deadlocked are unlikely to do a good job of representing our interests in our government. Contrary views are welcome.

"Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if you are to judge the world, are you not competent to judge trivial cases? Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more the things of this life!" (Reference: 1 Corinthians 6:2-3 )
The historic Anabaptists believed that to die a martyr's death was to be confirmed as a saint. Now I am not looking for a show of hands, but if you would be willing to die for your faith, that would make you a saint too, according to the historic Anabaptists. It is a pretty heady feeling to realize that one be the stuff of saints! And if a saint, then a judge of the world. But what might than mean?
I consulted with Albert Barnes, and his interpretation is that the saints will have an acute and accurate sense of what is right and wrong; for they have lived rightly their entire lives and so are qualified to know what is right, and know what is wrong and condemnable behavior. It is not that we (are who are saints) will pass judge but they will see, know, and approve of the correct that is passed by Christ or God.
Now the writer of 1 Corinthians did not make this statement to establish leaders or judges. What he was saying to the Corinthians is that if there is a dispute or need for a legal action amongst the believers, they should not take it to a secular where a non-believer would decide the matter. Instead they should use the wisdom they have amongst them as believers to decide that matter. Once seen in this context, the application that the historic Anabaptists made of this verse does not seem to ring true – a "judgment" made myself, an "apprentice saint" or a saint-in-training.
But it is true, beloved, that when there is a dispute amongst fellow believers the matter should and can be decided amongst them. One would ask though, why fellow believers would dispute one another? It is, I guess, human nature.
May you beloved have good and sound judgments on all matters, large and small, and may God be your first and only appeal to what is best to do. Selah!

What You Need To Know:
Pagan worldview of trying to make money by deceiving other people; 16 obscenities; one graphic scene of man dead in bathtub with ice pic in his eye & threats of violence; implied fornication; no nudity; alcohol use; woman drugs man's drink; and, stealing, lying & embezzlement.
More Detail:
Directed by Claude Chabrol, who is often called the French Hitchcock, THE SWINDLE is an entertaining comedy of suspense about a con man and his younger female partner, who step out of their league in a multi-million dollar scam which leads to murder. This subject matter is the biggest moral drawback in seeing this movie.
Acclaimed French actors Isabelle Huppert and Michel Serrault star as Elizabeth and Robert, a pair of con artists who have a pattern of working professional conventions and conferences. The story opens with Elizabeth seducing a businessman at a fancy gambling casino while doctoring his drink. When he passes out in the hotel room later, she and Robert take some of his money and some of his credit cards. Being too greedy is not good business, Robert believes, and business is thriving for this team of thieves. Robert in fact has a fatherly relationship with Elizabeth, and the two share a luxurious apartment.
Elizabeth, however, decides to take things up a level. She has a relationship with a wealthy man who is planning to embezzle money from his company and transfer it to a Swiss bank. When Robert finds out, he is quite upset because he knows this kind of job is out of their league. Or, is Elizabeth really trying to con her friend? And, is her rich lover being honest with her?
This charming but morally problematic movie will hold the attention of most viewers and is reminiscent of David Mamet's HOUSE OF GAMES, an American movie about con artists. The chemistry between Huppert and Serrault is enchanting as they banter back and forth, giving THE SWINDLE a whimsical quality. At times, their stunts are a bit comical as they clumsily attempt to succeed in their new venture. There are enough twists and turns to keep the audience on its toes and thinking until the end.
Despite some implied sexual immorality and obscenity, the story is tastefully done, except for a gory murder scene in a bathtub. THE SWINDLE contains implied fornication between Elizabeth and the wealthy embezzler, but no nudity.
Of course, as in many, if not most, movies about thieves and con artists, THE SWINDLE gives no moral lessons about the unethical conduct of the protagonists. The movie gives no indication that being a con artist on any level is wrong. Instead, the point that Chabrol stresses is that one must learn his or her limits in the con artist game and that it can be dangerous to go beyond them.

Reply Subj: Rate these in terms of strength
Posted: Sun Jan 21, 2018 at 12:25:40 am EST (Viewed 308 times)
1. SUPERBOY-PRIME: I actually have scans to prove this guy can move planets. That fact is easy to miss, but I have recently re-read Infinite Crisis and saved the evidence. Even if he's not a planet mover, he is EASILY stronger than every character on this list considering how hard it was to beat this guy.
2. DOOMSDAY: He may have no "lifting" feats (or very few of them), but whenever he fights Superman, it's obvious who is stronger. On top of that, Doomsday devastated the GLC thousands of years ago in Doomsday: Year One, demolished two different versions of the Justice League, beat Orion AND the Martian Manhunter at the same time and not even Wonder Woman herself could stand up to him for long. Plus, Doomsday beat Darkseid in just seconds. As much as some fans would like to think that was an avatar, there is no evidence to support such a theory.
3. DARKSEID: It's hard to quantify Darkseid's strength when he has so few lifting feats. His fights with Superman place him at least a peer in strength, perhaps a little stronger or weaker depending on the writer. However, recently Darkseid has shown the ability to beat the entire Justice League before being beaten himself. Not even Superman could take this guy on by himself (as it should be). He's also faced Wonder Woman in her own book just a month or two ago and not even she could beat him when he was still a teenager. And then he went on to kill Zeus. That's how powerful Darkseid is. He's more than earned his spot as #3 on my list because of all that.
4. SUPERMAN, GENERAL ZOD, BIZARRO, CAPTAIN MARVEL (Billy Batson), BLACK ADAM: I placed General Zod as equal to Superman because some months ago, he had Superman at his mercy in a fight with no help from anyone else. Bizarro is a clone, so that places him in the same ranking as Superman even if he cannot, or will not, ever utilize his strength the same way Superman does. Billy has been repeatedly said to be Superman's equal many times, even by Superman himself. They have even arm wrestled for hours without a winner being determined. And because Billy has beaten Black Adam repeatedly, I place Adam on even footing with Superman because of his highest end feat: World War III. Adam took on most of the strongest beings of the DCU and nearly won. That's got to count for something, right?
5. SUPERGIRL, URSA/FAORA, MARTIAN MANHUNTER, ERADICATOR, CYBORG SUPERMAN: Ursa/Faora might be stronger than Kara but they haven't proved it. And since she is a fully adult Kryptonian, she already has a high level of strength, so she's at least Kara's equal. J'onn moved a third of the Earth along with Superman and Diana, so his strength is up there too. However, Kara once had the Martian at her mercy, so she might be a smidgen stronger than him. Eradicator and Cyborg SHOULD be equal with Superman but they haven't proven it. But each one is a tough cookie so they get placed here.
It's worth noting that in the Post Crisis/New Earth Continuity Supergirl once beat Ultraman, who is every bit Superman's equal in strength. This was at a time where she lived a year in the bottled city of Kandor, conserving her powers (no access to yellow sunlight) and in a weakened condition while Ultraman was fully powered. Kara fought Ultraman again later when she was a member of the Justice League. That fight ended in a stalemate. And that alone is why I have ranked her here. The only thing stopping me from putting Supergirl higher on my list is the fact she doesn't have nearly as many strength feats as some of the ones I've placed above her. Still, these feats are incredibly impressive, which is why I rank her here on my list.
6. MONGUL: Mongul once fought Superman, Batman AND Wonder Woman at the same time. None of them could stop him from escaping. Some fans think this fight proved Mongul one shot Diana but it's not. Still, he did knock her away some distance and he fought her as well as Superman at the same time. For me, that puts Mongul ahead of her in strength. What stops Mongul from being ranked higher is the fact that Cyborg Superman easily proved who is stronger between the two.
7. WONDER WOMAN: Based on feats, I place Wonder Woman here. She once moved a third of the Earth with help from Superman and J'onn but she has never duplicated a feat even close to that since then. And that is her best strength feat. Usually just a little weaker than Superman, she's still at least two steps down from him in strength. If she's shown to be stronger, or better, it's only through her superb martial arts skills rather than with her raw physical strength. And that easily leads to some fans getting the misconception that she's stronger than she actually is when, in reality, she's not.
It's interesting that a hero/villain performs one amazing feat, or use a power they haven't used for 20+ years, and that automatically propels them to a high status despite scans and evidence to the contrary. I don't know what is worse, selective feat picking that has only been done once or twice 20, or more, years ago or ignoring evidence from scans or the lack thereof. We need to stop putting our favorite heroes/villains on pedestals and start putting them where they really belong. But it's evident that people never will because they would rather accuse others of cherry picking feats, when they don't, and being 'morally superior' when they aren't. I guess being honest and as fair as possible only opens one up to being the target of childish accusations and fault finding by those who insist on acting petty and childish. What happened to a good debate between two civil, mature, adults?

A collection of nine essays highlight the messy nature of conservation in post-reform India and unravels lesser-known species, habitats and eroding traditional values
Conservation problems are complicated. The successes made today can dissolve tomorrow. While it is easier to adapt to local changes, what about the bigger political and economic forces that are rapidly altering the way we view and value nature?
In my own experience of researching the fishing cat for almost a decade, I realised how development policies threaten it by simply categorising its habitat—wetlands as "wastelands", to make acquisition easy for agriculture, aquaculture and urbanisation. Each year till 2030, a city the size of Chicago will be built in India to meet the demands of the growing populace. Where else will the space come from if not from the "wastelands"?
The book, Conservation from the Margins, shows how globalisation-induced changes are becoming a prominent threat to diverse species in India. It is a collection of nine essays by conservation scientists and practitioners working in the fields of ecology, anthropology, sociology and economics. Each essay provides an insight while highlighting issues invisible to mainstream consciousness—those of overlooked species, ecosystems and the co-inhabiting human communities, often historically marginalised.
For instance, big dams like the Farakka Barrage have wreaked havoc on the Gangetic river dolphin by reducing fish stocks prodigiously and disrupting traditional fishing practices. Nachiket Kelkar studies these remarkably resilient cetaceans as their survival intersects with fresh social conflict, unfolding since globalisation, over scarce fish resources.
Everyone tussles to get the coveted government ID cards to fish legally. The fish mafia barricades the river with nets that decimate the future fish stock. Although some fishers understand how the river, fish and dolphins are suffering, they are forced to adapt their identities and change their "ecological" values, cutting off the last social threads to the dolphin.
From freshwater ecosystems to marine spaces, accelerated resource exploitation is pushing dolphins, turtles, sharks, rays, guitarfish, sawfish and wild fish populations to the brink and is also disrupting traditional and ecological practices.
Divya Karnad's essay flags the inadequacies of the legal framework in fisheries management and is germane. Lack of uniformity when it comes to states' rules and regulations make it worse. If you are banned from fishing in Kerala's waters, for example, you can migrate to the waters of Maharashtra to fish and no one could stop you. And the fisheries department is not even authorised to the arrest culprits. Coordinating with the marine police within territorial waters and coastal guards in the contiguous zones is a cumbersome process. Karnad also cautions against the top-down implementation of laws and advocates recognising the value of traditional egalitarian fishing societies and their sustainable customs. After all, such customs have evolved since the Stone Age and are undoubtedly far better in understanding the aquatic world.
In the context of the importance of public relation skills among government officials, the article by S E H Kazmi is an eye-opener. Kazmi was the Divisional Forest Officer of India's first and perhaps its unluckiest tiger reserve—the Palamau Tiger Reserve in Jharkhand. A beacon in the dark, Kazmi earned the trust and respect of ultra-left political activists and tribal forest-dwellers. His moratorium had deterred the hydro-electric dam in the reserve that could have drowned the forests and people. Unfortunately, he was reprimanded as an anti-national sympathiser and obstructionist by the State.
Sutirtha Dutta, an expert on the Great Indian Bustard (GIB) with the Dehradun-based Wildlife Institute of India is bold in his assessment of the primary threats to the Bustard's existence. His essay comes alive with two characters, first the nomad pastoralist, unwilling to barter his freedom for a daily wage and GIB, already bartered for "development". Both are "aliens" in their own land as the once extensive grasslands have now been reduced to bread crumbs. "Development" has modernised these "wastelands", at the cost of 20,000 million hectares of grasslands between 1980-2010 and caused the breakdown of traditional systems that managed natural resources.
This review would be incomplete without a word on the two remarkable essays about conservation problems in the Northeast by Umesh Srinivasan and Nandini Velho. Ivory and timber in Assam's forests is being ravaged by an ongoing war. Yet any attempt to build a conservation movement is thwarted in its embryonic stage. Meanwhile, market forces are influencing hunting customs and the distinctions between subsistence and commercial hunting are evaporating. The book also deals with the fatalistic scale of organised poaching. Automated weapons, night vision goggles and helicopters maximise success of the traditional methods. With 1,000 per cent return on investment, illegal wildlife trade remains a formidable challenge to conservation practitioners.
The essays are based on rigorous science and lucid anecdotes. The book should definitely be included in graduate and post-graduate courses on wildlife and conservation in the Indian academia. Not only does one get to know what ails conservation in India but the scenario is relevant for Latin America and Africa—developing economies populous with rich biodiversity. For these reasons, the book is highly recommended for conservation practitioners and wildlife enthusiasts.

Hello forums,
We have a number of fields inserted into some Mtext entities in our templates that we are able to mass update using custom DWGPROPS. However, if the Old Mtext editor is used to edit the Mtext entity instead of the default editor, when I am done editing the text and exit the editor window the fields are changed to standard text. So to clarify, I do "MTEXTED" and then "OldEditor" to change the editor type. I then go into an Mtext entity that has a field in it, which brings up the old editor window. I make a couple changes to the text alone and when I exit the window the fields have become text (no longer updating with respect to the DWGPROPS).
Is there any way to utilize the Old Editor and still retain the fields? Or is the incompatibility a consequence of not using the default editor? Thanks in advance.

Capitalism, the disease that breeds social injustice
A study by OXFAM International showed that the 100 richest people's annual income can end poverty four times over.
A while back, a story went viral on the internet about a young girl, who worked as a house maid. Long story cut short, she asked her employer for an advance because her mother was extremely ill, but her employer refused.
A few hours later, the very same employer showed the house maid the brand new lipstick she had just bought – a MAC product worth more than her salary. The house maid was naturally furious and disappointed:
What happened then? Did the house maid's mother survive?
I doubt it. She didn't have enough money for the treatment and her employer had refused to give her an advance.
Did the house maid find another job?
I hope so.
And the employer? Well, she must have bought her daughter a new lipstick in a couple of hours.
So who do we blame for what happened?
Here's another story.
A young man from an upper middle class family rushes to the hospital because his dad had a heart attack. The pharmacies are on a strike thus he has no choice but to go to the only pharmacy that is open, which is quite far from the hospital. However, he manages to reach and purchase medicines worth Rs40,000.
He puts his hand in his pocket to take out the money, only to realise that he forgot his wallet (with all his money and the ATM card) at the office because he left in such a hurry. He begs the shopkeeper to let him take the medicines and he promises to return after a while to pay. But the shopkeeper tells him that his sahib will sack him if he does that. The young man begs the shopkeeper to call the sahib and make him talk to him. But the sahib is sleeping. The drive to the pharmacy took 40 minutes and this argument and pleading alone took another 30 minutes.
What happened then?
His father died. The son must have died too, emotionally if not physically.
The shop keeper still has his job. The sahib is still sleeping.
Who do we blame now?
These two stories remind me of a third.
A labourer works at a minimum wage in a factory. His daughter fell and broke a few bones and he needs money for her treatment. The contractor that hired the labourer has money (I know this because he recently donated Rs20 lac to a cancer hospital and had his pictures published in the newspapers).
It doesn't take rocket science to figure out what happened when the labourer approached the contractor for some money. He refused, of course, thinking the labourer was lying just like everyone else.
How easy would've things been had the labourers daughter had cancer instead of broken bones?
So what happened?
The daughter is in pain, she has broken bones. The labourer is helpless. The contractor is off for Umrah.
Now who do we blame?
The employer in the first story?
Sahib or the shopkeeper in the second?
Contractor in the third?
The maid and the labourer for being born poor?
The young man for forgetting his wallet?
No. We blame the force behind the creation of such circumstances. We blame the system that allows the creation of such stories. We blame the one and only driving force that leads to injustice and creates a class system in the society.
We blame Capitalism.
Dr Adib Rizvi once said,
"We cannot let them die, just because they cannot afford to live."
And guess what a capitalist society is based on? It's based on the statement,
"You cannot afford to live, please die."
Capitalism produces disparity and inequality – a class system that furthers intolerance, insensitivity, conflicts and wars around us. Capitalism is a redundant system as it is not capable of giving anything to the vast majority of human beings on this planet.
According to a study conducted by OXFAM International, the annual income of the 100 richest people can end poverty four times over.
What good is a system that is so vulnerable to abuse? Wealth in the hands of a few gives them the power to run this world as they please, and play with all other human beings, by treating them like puppets. A capitalist system is rigged in the favour of the rich, while the lives of people becomes harder as you go down the economic ladder.
A system of governance should be such where all human beings are considered equal and there is an equitable distribution of wealth and resources. In other words, class system should be banished. Having said that, the state should provide its citizens with education, healthcare facilities, housing and basic needs – where life is not spent in the struggle to just assure economical stability.
In such a state, people will focus on excellence. People will not be in a rat race just to earn a place in society, as they will be out of the economic shackle – a system that leads to a better world.

Magnetic Locks and Accessories
Electromagnetic lock as an alternative to conventional
Their mechanism of action is based on the magnetic force of attraction. On the opposite door leaf (sometimes also used the wall) mounted electromagnetic device and metal panel. In the presence of voltage they are attracted with great force. To open at just the time to stop the power supply (this can occur by remote control, by a magnetic key or code dialed). It closes the door automatically. In addition, they do not have a too high price to scare away buyers.
Why in recent years this type of lock is used more often?
These he owes a number of its advantages:
● High reliability. Hack it is virtually impossible, and open the door by force - even more so.
● Durability. They have no moving parts, which will eventually be erased and render useless the entire structure.
● Resistance to weather conditions and the entry of foreign objects (for gapping the working parts of the door warning tone is emitted).
● Quiet.
● Ease of use.
● Nice design. Compared with other locks, magnetic externally do not look too flashy or massive, it is easier to adapt for use in any location. You can find a lot of reviews on the topic of how internal locks of this type, even complement designs.
The only inconvenience - for its operation need to ensure the availability of reliable and uninterrupted power supply. On the other hand, if the electricity is off, the door just opened, do not contribute to carrying out the evacuation of the danger zone in an emergency.
Where install electromagnetic locks?
Anywhere. They are suitable for external and for internal use. With the ability to record the time of opening and even the personal identity of each key, they are installed in office buildings, with limited access to facilities. They are popular as a safety device for gates. They are also suitable for private homes and apartments: a front door you can open remotely. Moreover, these locks can be used in interior doors! Naturally, they have less power and control equipment is not connected normally, but they are all just closes quietly remaining workable for a long time.
In whatever case, you do not decide to buy the castle - you can not go wrong!

Ekornes shall make Svane® the best-known brand in the nordic countries for mattresses and the brand shall be famous for quality and comfort.
Ekornes shall take a leading position in scandinavia as a supplier of furniture, mattresses and furnishing for ships and hotels. Most of the production shall take place in Norway, where technological development and innovation shall form the basis for our competitive power.
Through a purposeful and consistent effort, Ekornes shall continually increase the value of the branded products we handle. This also means that all parts of the company need to give their support to this brand image.
We must live according to our values.
In order to make sure of this, we have made the following choices:
We sell our products globally through selected business partners who we believe to have the correct market position, and we want our products to be the most profitable in these selected partners' portfolio. This means that we have to cooperate closely and openly, and that both parties must actively contribute with their resources and competence.
Normally, our marketing and sales effort is organised through our own sales companies in order to secure consistency and coordination, and to provide the best possible support to our distributors.
In order to ensure a high quality of our products and high productivity to ensure profitability, we manufacture by means of modern facilities and equipment. To achieve this, we have to look after our employees and help them remain the best workforce in the world.
We develop quality products that are in keeping with the desired brand image and can be manufactured efficiently.
There shall be close cooperation between all links in the company's value chain.
ECONOMiC DEVELOPMENT TARGETS
Ekornes shall be one of the most profitable and sound enterprises within our line of business. We therefore aim at the following targets:
1. EBIT-margin of 16 – 18%
2. Equity-to-asset ratio of at least 30%
3. Annual turnover growth of 3 – 5%
Ekornes shall distribute its branded goods through solvent and carefully selected distribution channels in all markets. these may be chains, individual distributors or other relevant distribution channels. This shall be optimised to ensure that priority with the distributors is maintained, at the same time as we have sufficient availability for the consumers.
Selectivity and clearly defined marketing and product concepts shall provide the basis for establishing business relations that commit both the distributor and Ekornes. The intention is to provide each individual business partner with the motivation and self-interest to invest in the ekornes brand-building and marketing concept.
Our concept includes the following:
1. The use of a studio solution to ensure the most effective display and sales of the products that is possible.
2. Marketing based on close cooperation and cost sharing between Ekornes and the distributor.
3. Thorough training and follow-up of individual sales representatives.
4. Focusing on making the ekornes brands known to the consumers.
5. Base communications on differentiating product advantages.
6. An analytical approach to the choice of media for communication based on a clear understanding of the target groups and how to reach them most effectively.
It is an important objective for ekornes that our products are the most profitable our distributors have in their shops. this creates the best foundation for our cooperation and continued development and growth to the advantage of both parties.
Ekornes shall continuously develop new products and product concepts to strengthen the brands' market position. this endeavour takes place according to the following main principles:
• Entire concepts and product families are developed, not just individual products.
• Real product differentiating advantages are developed, and consideration shall be given to protecting these through patents and similar.
• The products are developed with a view to being sold in all relevant markets rather than in individual markets.
• It shall be possible to manufacture the products rationally, with high productivity and consistent quality. among other things, this leads to a considerable standardising of components.
Production shall be conducted in a way that attends to the brand image and secures correct quality and delivery precision. The delivery date shall balance between consideration of the production planning horizon and market requirements. Our competitive power shall develop on a continual basis, through using modern technology and by developing competent employees.
Our production facilities shall be specialised so that processes requiring similar competencies and identical equipment shall, as far as possible, be gathered in one place. Along with standardised components, this forms the basis for a high degree of automation.

Governor candidate Haynes' eligibility argued in court
August 3, 2018
CHEYENNE — The argument over whether a Republican gubernatorial candidate can stay on the ballot for the Aug. 21 primary kicked off Wednesday in a Laramie County courtroom.
Attorneys for the state are asking Laramie County District Judge Thomas Campbell to suspend the campaign of Dr. Taylor Haynes over questions about whether he lives in Wyoming.
They also want a general ruling on whether the secretary of state should have broader power to remove ineligible candidates from the ballot even after they've been certified and printed.

93 Entries for "savage"
Alarming and precise, it took just a few strokes to eviscerate the captive.
Being told that your music is 'brutal' or 'savage' is a pretty good compliment. If you're in a death metal band, that is. When you're trying to do Chet Baker covers on national TV, it stops sounding quite so good. Ah, well. Just say it's avant-garde.
And the calls of nature took his claws.
Left broken and unspoken
Nature took it away
Uncertain without a doubt
Nary without a thought
All he had left was his 'savagery',
With its claws clipped.
Savage? That's what Pocahontas called all the British guys in that movie. And that's probably why savage is the meaning of something that is wild, harmful, hurtful, strange to you in some way and that can be misinterpreted as an animal behaviour, although human beings are basically animals, just a lot more powerful than, like, frogs and lemurs and stuff.
The savage beast ran after the maiden through the dense thicket. Faster and faster he went, she was almost within reach. He could smell her breathtaking scent and was delirious with hunger and thoughts of how he would savor every morsel.
