My belief is Yeshua is Yahweh so if they, the Jews, don't believe in Him than they are in for a surprise when Yeshua comes back as the embodiment of YHWH. The Lion of Judah. The scripture plainly says, I and my Father are one. You will have to accept Yeshua.
Comments and criticisms on the first session.
The New Covenant (represented by Keith, who has this wonderful dream about the Torah scroll)
Romans 10: 6 But the righteousness based on faith says, "Do not say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?'"… 7 "or 'Who will descend into the abyss?'" … 8 But what does it say? "The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart"
The Covenant (represented by Nehemia, who looks down on Keith on day 1, then softens)
Deuteronomy 30
11 "For this commandment that I command you today is not too hard for you, neither is it far off. 12 It is not in heaven …13 Neither is it beyond the sea…
14 But the word is very near you. It is in your mouth and in your heart, so that you can do it.
Compare the last 2 verses of the old and new testament passages.
THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM: the Word in my heart, which Word is it?
For Keith:
the Word is Jesus, i.e. the embodiment of all YHWH's spoken Word (including Torah) in human flesh. If that Word is in my heart and in my mouth I am righteous.
For Nehemia:
the Word is Torah, i.e. the Words that YHWH spoke to Moses on Sinai. If that Word is in my heart and in my mouth I am righteous.
THE CRITICS are all based on this difference, that can also be found in the passage of righteousness by faith in Romans 10.
Romans 10: But the righteousness based on faith says "The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart" (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim); 9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
Verse 9, for a Jew born of Jews and raised a Jew, is foreign.
I am a gentile, I was not born in a Jewish family and I was not raised Jewish. For me, Jesus (Yeshua) has been the door to the God of Israel. For me truly Jesus has been/is my shepherd and my salvation. Since I have found Jesus I have found YHWH, Truth, salvation, redemption. For e it is easy to confess Jesus. I am not lying when I do it.
For a Jew, Sinai has been the door to the God of Israel. After they saw the Red Sea split open and the fire on mount Sinai, the Words spoken to them became for them the handbook to life.
It is understandable that Jews who learn the Sh'ma before they can even speak deem the deity of Jesus blasphemy.
For a gentile who knew the God of Abraham through Yeshua, it is blasphemy to claim righteousness independently on the work of Yeshua on behalf of mankind. God saves, not man!
The two positions seem irreconcilable.
These are the reasons the "religious police" attack Nehemia and Keith. The criticism is understandable at surface value: will the audience not be confused and misled hearing preaching from people who speak from two irreconcilable theological stands?
MY OPINION ON WHICH YOU CAN ELABORATE: righteousness of faith is the answer. I read Romans 10.
5 For Moses writes about the righteousness that is based on the law, that the person who does the commandments shall live by them.
[Elena: This is the level of the Israelites who took the first covenant literally: you (strive to) do the 613 commandments and you are righteous]
6 But the righteousness based on faith says, "Do not say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?'" (that is, to bring Christ down)
[Elena: (that is, Jesus, the Word, had to come down from heaven in order for mankind to be able to go to heaven, be saved)]
7 "or 'Who will descend into the abyss?'" (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).
[Elena: (that is, Jesus had to resurrect in order to overcome the power of death that destroys mankind)]
8 But what does it say? "The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart" (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim);
[Elena: the righteousness of faith does not ask: who is saved, who is not saved, what do I have to do or not do to go to heaven. The righteousness of faith simply says: the Word is near you, in your heart and in your mouth. The righteousness of faith says: the Word is the way, the truth and life. The Word is near, let me take hold of it.
A group of Israelites at mount Sinai took the Word in this way (_believed_ the Word) and entered into this special covenant.
David too and later other Jews were under this covenant of faith, and this distinguished them form the other people who, by in fact not believing, followed foreign gods, committed abominations, persecuted and stoned the prophets and at the end caused the captivity and diaspora.
But also non-Jews were under this covenant of faith, all those who simply believed the Word of YHWH, spoken by God or by a prophet. Think of Abraham, Noah, Ruth, the widow of Zareptah, Nebukadnetzar, Balaam ( a sorcerer!), Rahab (the prostitute of Jericho), Naaman (the Syrian), the Ninivetes,
Continuing reading Romans 10]
9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
[Elena: this is reasonable for a gentile but I understand it is difficult for a Jew raised and taught by those who experienced Sinai]
10 For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.
[The righteousness of faith explained. The Word is in your heart when you have _believed_ it, and it is in your mouth for a confession that saves you, that redeems you from a wicked generation. Compare with Isaiah: this people honor me with their lips but their heart is far from me. Saying only (confession of faith) is not enough. The Word must be in your heart in order for you to be truly saved, or righteous]
11 For the Scripture says, "Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame." 12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him. 13 For "everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."
And these last verses contain the conclusion of all: Jew or gentile, whoever _believes_ the Word, accepting it in their heart, knowing that the Word is not beyond the sea or in heaven, too difficult to do, but that the Word of the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob is near me (Jew or gentile) so that I can do it, and confess this, that person is righteous, like Abraham, the father of faith (the man who was declared righteous before circumcision).
That person, Jew or gentile, is under the covenant with the one and only God who saves and does not lie, same Lord of all.
In this covenant of faith we are 1.
We do not need to condemn each other to hell of heaven (which is not the point in the first place for those who live by faith, as we read in Romans 10). Those who live by faith only look at the Word, which is the way we can personally get to know -and love- YHWH.
Righteousness by faith is more an attitude of the heart than a theological formulation. It represents the attitude of (being willing to) listening to YHWH's Word, considering it something that is close to me, that I may understand and follow. All people with this attitude focus more on understanding as much as possible and grasping that very Word that is given for my life, than on judging other people and condemning them to hell or heaven.
What does the Word truly say? Does it say what we have been taught to believe? Teach me brother, I listen
I want to thank you for the opportunity to chime in. I am in awe of the magnitude of what Yehovah has done through you, Keith, Nehemiah, and Michael. If ever there was a ministry that will open the eyes, hearts and minds of the children of the Almighty, it is the culmination of you men of God.
In response to your question, as well as in response to a comment made: scripture makes it very clear that making the decision to follow the only true Elohim, Yehovah, is open to any and all that choose to follow His ways of righteousness. It is proven in Exodus, Isiah, Joel, and Acts, just to name a few.
However there is a scripture in the New Testament that is echoed from the Old Testament that I believe is misrepresented throughout mainstream Christianity, not to be Christian bashing at all. Acts 2:21 says: 'AND IT SHALL BE THAT EVERYONE WHO CALLS ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED.'
Now understanding that this is a direct quote from the book of Joel 2:32: "And it will come about that whoever calls on the name of the LORD will be delivered," we can only barely begin to understand that the Old Testament is a foreshadowing of the New Testament, and the New Testament is just exactly that, a testament to the Everlasting, Old Testament.
When Yeshua entered Jerusalem and the crowds shouted: "HOSANNA, HOSANNA, BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD" they were saying "BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF YEHOVAH," just the same as in Acts "Everyone" (not just some) who calls on the name of (who?) Yehovah shall be saved.
Throughout the scripture, over and over, it is repeated that there is one God, including straight out of the mouth of Yeshua in John 17:2-4: 2 "as You (Yehovah) have given Him (Yeshua) authority over all flesh, that He should give eternal life to as many as You (Yehovah) have given Him. 3 And this is eternal life, that they may know You (Yehovah), "the only true God," and Yeshua HaMashiach, whom You have sent."
Yehovah is whom all praise, glory, and honor is due. Yeshua provided a way for us to be grafted into The Creator's plan for His created, however there are those who are already following the ways of righteousness and ARE the part we are being grafted into, which is spoken of extensively in Romans 11.
If we, the gentiles, are being adopted into someones family, we then take on the structure that has already been established by that family, if we choose to believe in faith and wholeheartedly that we have been adopted, otherwise we continue to try and hang on to the traditions (lies) that we have inherited from our earthly fathers and shun the ways of our Heavenly Father. It truly is a paradigm.
First I want to say I always like to see your excitement and love for Yehovah! Praise be his glorious name! This was a very interesting direction that you're taking. I am a Hebrew Roots/Messianic believer. I have seen what you talked about going on with the Messianic community but I have also seen a people who desire to return to Torah, that understand that Yehovah's way is truth, that believe there is great blessing in His instructions. As a group our congregation is trying to start learning some Hebrew to read the Torah as was intended. I guess I just wanted you to know this because we are not all that way.
I would like to be able to (like I have already) share your video's with my Christian family and friends but I don't want them to have more ammunition against me. I guess what I'm saying is please go easy on us as we are just trying to grow closer to Him. I love you guys and your teachings!
First off thank you for making this video series available for free. It has been my understanding that "Two House" Messianic s believe that for Ezekiel 37's two sticks to come together, the restoration of both Jew and gentile into belief in the one true God of Israel that Jews must first not only accept Yeshua as God, but believe the entire new testament. What you seem to be saying and correct me if i am wrong but you say that we can walk together and worship Yehovah without converting Jewish believers. Or to rephrase it a Jewish person can be saved by belief in God alone, without accepting Yeshua as God, or even just as the Messiah. Is this what you are saying? Do Christians need to accept that Jews can be saved apart from belief in Yeshua? Is the regathering of Israel not when the Jews are converted but when we learn to walk together in simply a belief in Yehovah? BTW think it is funny that the spell check on your comments bar keeps trying to tell me Yehovah is spelled wrong and their suggestion is Jehovah, 🙂

By Kevin Gray
There's a revolution going on in Analytics. But first, what is Analytics?
Analytics has gotten a massive amount of buzz in recent years, lately in connection with Big Data and Data Science. The term "analytics" is by no means new but, perhaps surprisingly, there is a lack of consistency in what it means or implies. Sometimes it is used to designate a process, from problem identification through recommended actions. It also can refer to inferential statistics like standard errors, confidence intervals and t-tests or to basic measures of association, e.g., the Pearson product-moment correlation or chi square. At other times, though perhaps couched in esoteric claims, it merely refers to descriptive statistics such as frequency counts, means and standard deviations or to commonplace graphics such as line graphs, histograms and pie charts. More sophisticated data visualization is also at times called analytics.
In addition, analytics can refer to an extensive assortment of multivariate statistical methods and machine learning algorithms. That usage is the focus of this article. These techniques can be classified in various manners and one way is to characterize them either as Interdependence methods or Dependence methods. A second point of differentiation pertains to whether a method is intended for Cross Sectional data or Time Series data.
Factor Analysis and Cluster Analysis are probably the best known Interdependence methods, though there are many others. Put very simply, Factor Analysis groups variables and Cluster Analysis groups observations, respondents in a consumer survey for example.
Dependence methods differ in that there is one or more Target (Dependent) variable we would like to explain or predict from one or more Predictor (Independent) variable. Many kinds of Dependence methods see extensive use in Marketing Research. They can be further subdivided according to whether the dependent variables are quantities, counts, ordered categories or nominal categories that have no natural order or rank. Regression and Discriminant Analysis in particular are well known in Marketing Research; the former is used when the dependent variable is quantitative (or we decide to treat it as such) and the latter comes into play when we wish to differentiate groups (e.g., User/Non-User).
Actually, it's not quite this simple. Partial Least Squares Regression and some varieties of Structural Equation Modeling are a blend of Independence and Dependence methods!
The techniques described thus far have been designed for cross-sectional data, data collected at one point in time. Time Series Analysis is used when the data have been collected over many time periods. Weekly sales data are an example of Time Series data. Exponential Smoothing, ARIMA, Dynamic Regression, State Space and GARCH models are just a few examples of Time Series Analysis Methods. They are household words to Econometricians but more opaque to most of us in Marketing Research. Time Series Analysis plays important roles in Marketing Mix Modeling and ROI analysis as well as in sales forecasting.
Once again, though, things are not quite this simple! There are also methods appropriate for Within-Subjects (Repeated Measures) and Longitudinal data. An example of when Within-Subjects designs are suitable is when consumers are asked to evaluate two or more products, real or hypothetical, as in an in-home product use test (real) or conjoint study (typically hypothetical). The venerable Repeated Measures MANOVA might be familiar to some of you. Longitudinal designs are useful when we observe consumers' behavior over time. Survival Analysis is one such method and in Marketing Research is used in customer churn modeling.
That was just the Old Stuff
Out of breath? Well, these are mostly "trad" methods. It would not be exaggerating to say there has been an explosion in the number and variety of analytic methods in recent years. Advances in computer technology have taken many methods off the drawing board and put them right onto our laptops. Mixture Modeling (a.k.a. Latent Class) is one example that not long ago was impractical on the computers most Marketing Scientists were using. It is proving very useful in segmentation as well as other kinds of analyses, in part because its ability to model different kinds of data (e.g., quantitative and nominal) at once.
Bayesian methods, which can be intricate and are not easy to describe in a nutshell, are seeing increasing use in Marketing Research. Put very, very simply, in Bayesian statistics we incorporate prior beliefs about the problem we're studying directly into our analysis and then update our understanding of the problem we're investigating when new data become available. From the outset we are explicit about uncertainty. Bayesian methods have some important advantages in comparison with the more recognizable Frequentist methods. They are often more adept at handling sparse and messy data, for instance.
There are a lot of methods that are being developed outside of university Statistics departments, most notably by computer scientists. Many are termed Machine Learning, though the way that term is used is often ambiguous. Machine Learners are often much better at pattern recognition (e.g., in text analytics) than the Statistical Methods we are used to. Some examples of these new methods, including those developed by statisticians, are Neural Networks, Support Vector Machines, Bayesian Networks and approaches utilizing boosting, and bagging.
These "non-trad" techniques are core methods in Data Mining and Predictive Analytics, nowadays often lumped together under the vaguely-used labels "Big Data" and "Data Science." There is now a vast array of these methods and many are also handy for analysis of consumer survey data, including segmentation and driver analysis. One important downside many of these methods share, however, is that their results are often difficult to interpret; while they are adept at prediction (the "What") they are often not as useful for helping us understand the "Why" as traditional methods. Fortunately, in many cases the two can be used in combination to get the best of both analytic worlds.
Whatever the analytic methods used, it is also now easier than ever to perform various kinds of "What if?" simulations to make educated guesses about what might happen under various marketing scenarios, such as the introduction of a new product or competitor activity. Done prudently, simulations can help our models speak to us and guide decisions we need to make.
What does all this imply?
The foregoing is only a sample of the methods used in Marketing Research. Though many haven't yet diffused very far into the Marketing Research mainstream, it should be evident that we have no shortage of tools for analytics! There is truly a gigantic number and brilliant academics around the world are developing new ones around the clock. And, due to space limitations, I haven't even mentioned Social Network Analysis, Biometrics or many other newer kinds of analytics. True Artificial Intelligence still lies in the future but perhaps one day…
Some of you will have heard of R, open-source (free!) statistical software that is becoming a standard research tool for Marketing Scientists. Though not as user-friendly or well-documented as some statistical packages we've become accustomed to, there are now several thousand R packages and a large and increasingly sophisticated R user base. Many R packages perform cutting-edge analytics and, perhaps surprisingly, first-rate graphics, in addition to standard methods. There are also many other open-source tools besides R.
There's a revolution happening in analytics…we are now able to give better answers to more questions more quickly than ever before. But, there are downsides. With more tools, there is more to master and more mistakes will be made if our skills sets become too thin. Increasing specialization will be needed and more silos among analytics professionals may emerge. We must also avoid using methods merely because they are new – newer is not synonymous with better.
More importantly, let's not lose sight of our raison d'être. Who will be using our deliverables, and how and when they will be used is most critical. Let's first focus on the decisions, not the technology.

BHA: Committee recommends retaining bishops in a reformed House of Lords
The Government's proposals to maintain and effectively strengthen the influence of the Church of England in Parliament have today received support from the Joint Committee on the Draft House of Lords Reform Bill, although only be majority and not by consensus. The British Humanist Association (BHA), which gave evidence to the Committee, has expressed its dismay at the report and said again that, 'Reserved places for Bishops are unfair, unjustified, unpopular, and should go.'
The Government's Draft House of Lords Reform Bill will lead to an increase in the proportion of 'Lord Spiritual' from 3% of appointed peers, to anything between 12% and 17% of appointed peers, depending on the eventual size of a reformed chamber. If the Government's proposals were enacted, Anglican Bishops would likely outnumber SNP, Plaid Cymru, DUP, SDLP, Sinn Fein and Green Peers combined.[1]
Commenting on the Joint Committee's report, BHA Chief Executive Andrew Copson said: 'The report of the Committee published today is at odds with the reasoned evidence submitted to it and presents no good arguments whether in principle or otherwise for the retention of Bishops.
'More hopeful is the fact that the Committee was divided on the issue and supported retaining Bishops by a majority not by a consensus. We hope that the voices of those who want a fairer chamber and better represent the view of the wider public - 74% of whom (including 70% of Christians) believe it is wrong that Church of England Bishops are given automatic places – will prevail as the debate on Lords reform moves forward.'
Campaigners seek faith schools equality impact assessment from Government
Government to offer funds for new fully selective religious schools out of free schools pot
Press Releases
The BHA will continue its campaign for equitable Lords Reform and is urging the Government to reconsider and amend the Draft Reform Bill.
[1] Using the percentage of votes cast for each party at the 2012 General election, and assuming Proportional Representation.

Dundashill project ready to deliver 600 new homes in Glasgow
Scottish Canals has commenced work on site to deliver 600 high quality homes in Port Dundas, situated on the former Diageo distillery site in Glasgow. Igloo Regeneration is the Development Manager for the project.
Ground preparation works, which are being funded by the Glasgow City Region City Deal and Scottish Canals, are already underway by specialist contractor I&B Brown. House-building is expected to be on site in Autumn 2019, (and is likely to be delivered by a range of partners, including Bigg Regeneration, a Scottish Canals JV with Places for People Capital), with the first residents expected to move into their new homes in 2020. Dundashill will contribute to the 3,000 new homes being built across North Glasgow over the next few years.
The site will also benefit from energy efficient street lighting and an intelligent water management system that will carry surface water runoff into the nearby Forth and Clyde Canal.
Dundashill forms part of the wider multi-million-pound regeneration of the Glasgow Canal, including Pinkston Watersports Centre, Glasgow's Wake Park and the opening of Rockvilla, home of the National Theatre of Scotland, all of which have cemented the area as a thriving and unique creative hub and urban sports playground.

Jaguar drivers are lucky twice:
- First, because the own a Jaguar.
- Secondly because they have the possibility to pay for fuel with PayPal or Apple Pay via a new cashless payment app at Shell service stations in the UK. Android Pay will be added later in 2017.
Rather than using a card at the pump, or queuing in the forecourt shop, Jag owners who install the Shell app can simply drive up to any pump at a participating Shell service station and use the vehicle's touchscreen to select how much fuel they require and pay using.
The benefits for Peter Virk, Jaguar Land Rover's Director of Connected Car and Future Technology, are clear : "In a world where cash is no longer king, customers are increasingly using electronic payments and contactless cards. Making a payment directly from a car's touchscreen will make refuelling quicker and easier. With this new system you can choose any pump on the forecourt and pay for the fuel even if you've forgotten your wallet or can't find your credit or debit card."
"You will save time because there's no more queuing to pay in a shop, and for drivers with children, it won't be necessary to wake them up, or unstrap them from their seats to take them into the shop. Expenses and tax returns will also be made much simpler, with no receipts to lose as these will all be sent electronically."

From George Washington to the Board of War, 18 October 1778
To the Board of War
Head Quarters [Fredericksburg] Octor 18th 1778.
Major Nicholas has been with me and reported the state of the Cloathing—and also the forwardness in which it is, for coming on. I was sorry to find by his account, that the whole of the shoes will not exceed seven thousand pair. This I thought it my duty to inform the Board of, as the supply will not more than answer the Instant—pressing wants of the Troops, who are actually barefoot. I fear we shall Suffer greatly in this necessary article, unless every possible exertion is used to prevent it. The demands are continual—and too large a quantity cannot be provided. I have the honor to be with great respect Gentn your most Obed. Servt
Go. Washington
p.s. Major Nicholas who has returned to the Eastward, informed me the Cloathing was of excellent quality and in very good order—Viz. the Coats, Jackets & Breeches. But from the account of Mister Kemper, one of Mister Mease's assistants, many of the Blankets—which he has just opened, are so small that four of them joined together, will not exceed the common & necessary size of one. It is reported here that a Ship from Spain has just arrived at Baltimore with a very considerable cargoe, perhaps she may have some Blankets.
Copy, enclosed in Richard Peters to Henry Laurens, 26 Oct. 1778, DNA:PCC, item 147; Df, in Robert Hanson Harrison's writing, DLC:GW; Varick transcript, DLC:GW. Congress read Peters's letter to Laurens of 26 Oct. and its enclosure on 27 Oct. and referred them to the committee on the clothier general's department (see docket and JCC description begins Worthington Chauncey Ford et al., eds. Journals of the Continental Congress, 1774-1789. 34 vols. Washington, D.C., 1904–37. description ends , 12:1066). Peters replied to GW on behalf of the Board of War on 27 October.

Skin cyst
A cyst is a small sac or lump, filled with fluid, air, fat, or other material, that begins to grow somewhere in the body for no apparent reason. A skin cyst is one that forms just beneath the skin.
It's believed that skin cysts form around trapped keratin cells – the cells that form the relatively tough outer layer of the skin.
These cysts are not contagious.
Anyone can get a skin cyst, but they are most common in those who are over age 18, have acne, or have injured the skin.
Symptoms include the appearance of a small, rounded lump under the skin. Cysts are normally painless unless infected, when they will be reddened and sore and contain pus.
Diagnosis is made through physical examination. A small cyst can be left alone, though if it is unsightly or large enough to interfere with movement it can be removed in a simple procedure done in a doctor's office. An infected cyst must be treated so that the infection does not spread.
Rarity: Common
Top Symptoms: skin-colored armpit bump, marble sized armpit lump, small armpit lump

Skin abscess
A skin abscess is a large pocket of pus that has formed just beneath the skin. It is caused by bacteria getting under the skin, usually through a small cut or scratch, and beginning to multiply. The body fights the invasion with white blood cells, which kill some of the infected tissue but form pus within the cavity that remains.
Symptoms include a large, red, swollen, painful lump of pus anywhere on the body beneath the skin. There may be fever, chills, and body aches from the infection.
If not treated, there is the risk of an abscess enlarging, spreading, and causing serious illness.
Diagnosis is made through physical examination.
A small abscess may heal on its own, through the body's immune system. But some will need to be drained or lanced in a medical provider's office so that the pus can be cleaned out. Antibiotics are usually prescribed.
Keeping the skin clean, and using only clean clothes and towels, will help to make sure that the abscess does not recur.
Rarity: Common
Top Symptoms: rash with bumps or blisters, red rash, red skin bump larger than 1/2 cm in diameter, pus-filled rash, rash
Symptoms that always occur with skin abscess: rash with bumps or blisters
Urgency: Primary care doctor

Lamborghini had just revealed their future products, specifically: Lamborghini Sesto Elemento, Lamborghini Estoque, and Lamborghini Cabrera. Then what is attractive in those three cars? We'll discuss it one by one, but not in one article, we will give it in phases. Now, please enjoy the part I of the Lamborghini Future Car.
In this part I, we will provide reviews about the Lamborghini Sesto Elemento. What is interesting about this concept car is it will only be produced on limited-edition; even in America reportedly will only have 3 units. Lamborghini Sesto Elemento's body mostly made of CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer), so that makes it feel lighter. This concept car will use a V10 engine capable of producing 570 hp. Lamborghini Sesto Elemento can reach speeds of 60 mph in just 2.5 seconds, while maximum speed is 186 mph.
Lamborghini Sesto Elemento now in the testing phase, before it was decided to be produced in limited numbers (to be produced 5 to 10 units only). The rumors, the price of this concept car could reach $ 3.5 million, a price that fairly large.
Well, it is a little news about the first car of Lamborghini Future Car, lamborghini Sesto Elemento. Hopefully, this concept car could soon be produced; for sure this car will be the seizure of the car collectors.

The August 22nd event raised over $280,000 to support children and adults with autism and other intellectual and developmental disabilities

The partnership between the Chicago Blackhawks and Little City has already proven to be a big win for people with developmental disabilities thanks to John McDonough's passion and commitment to Little City's mission.
In addition to offering several Chicago Blackhawks game day packages that raised thousands of dollars for Little City, McDonough and the Blackhawks also contributed to Little City's Fund-A-Need, a sensory and therapeutic gym.
"John McDonough and the Chicago Blackhawks have been a leader in supporting important causes in the Chicago area for years," said Little City Executive Director Shawn E. Jeffers.

I'm an artist whether you like it or not. My brushes are needles and my canvas is skin. You can call me Red or don't call me anything at all, I don't really care. Or at least I didn't until a few weeks ago. Most folks want their skin art to say something, to mean something. Sometimes rebellious, sometimes tribal, occasionally cute, and yes, sometimes stupid. They think that a band of barbed wire around their biceps makes them strong. Or a flower makes them attractive. The worst, of course, is the Chinese characters that don't mean anything close to what they think it does. But hey, who am I to judge. Sign the papers, pay the money, and I'll ink you with whatever, well almost whatever, you want.
A few weeks ago I was just finishing up an ankle rose for a "don't tell my mommy" but old enough to sign the papers blond chick when he came in. I'd inked his arms a few times in the past. Nice work even if I do say so myself. "I want this across my back, can you get it done in three weeks?" He says unrolling a sheet of tracing paper. The design was intricate and large, monochrome with lots of shading.
"Three weeks is pushing it," I replied. "Turn around a moment." Holding the drawing against his back I mumbled, "I'll have the scale it down, and make several templates." Setting the drawing down I asked him to turn back around. "It's going to take a lot of sessions, going to be expensive, and it's going to hurt like hell because there won't enough time to heal between sessions but yeah, I can do it". We arrive at a price, agree to start tomorrow, and he allows me to keep the original overnight.
Sometimes I can understand why someone wants a certain image. Sometimes I don't. One time this one farmer boy from the sticks wanted some Chinese-looking characters that he swore up and down meant powerful dragon, they didn't and I couldn't talk him out of it. So now he'll blissfully spend the rest of his life with "bird fart" permanently inked into his arm. Oh well. But this guy, I get this guy. What I don't understand is the rush, but that's his choice, his pain.
Over the weeks I learned that even though his credit card said Peter everyone calls him Ray, as in a ray of sunshine or something like that. Not that I could tell he was a ray of sunshine, he barely spoke at all except to ask if we were on schedule. He paid his bills so who am I to complain.
By the last day, Ray could barely tolerate the needle but we did manage to finish his design. I tried to put him off a few times, even a day or two, but he insisted that it had to be done by noon today. At 11:30 I put in the last bit of shading. It was a good thing that the day was sunny and warm since he couldn't stand to put his shirt back on. He paid for the last of the work and left without saying a word. I decided to follow, it was lunchtime after all. Besides, his large Silverado was easy to shadow from a distance with my Harley.
At the edge of town, he pulled into the county cemetery and stopped behind one of those trucks from the monument company. The workers were in the process of lifting a new headstone from the truck. They wave as Ray walks up. With great care, the workers and Ray gently place the stone on the foundation. From my vantage, I can see that the back of the headstone is simply engraved with Ray's last name. Ray inspects the headstone, shakes the worker's hands, and they pack up to leave. Once they're gone Ray walks back around to the front of the stone. Trying to respect his privacy I walk around until I'm behind him. By that time Ray is on his knees, one hand on the stone, the other covering his eyes. The stone is wonderfully carved with the image of a sleeping infant on a bed of rose petals under a blanket of fluffy clouds. The script beneath the rose petals reads "In Memory of Jessica, July 14, 2012." It is the exact same image that I inked into Ray's back.
I swear that what I saw next really happened, I didn't imagine it. As I stood there a third image became visible, I don't know how to describe it. I guess I was seeing Ray's heart, not the pump thing, but his soul. And tattooed there was the exact same image on his back and the headstone. But as he wept beside her grave his tattooed heart changed ever so slightly. It seemed like the clouds parted just a bit, just enough to let a beam of light shine on the infant's smile. It was there for a moment, just a moment, and then the image was gone. I left quietly, I didn't even start the Harley until I was nearly out of the cemetery. Good thing it was all downhill.
Ray dropped by earlier today. I had emailed him about coming over so I could see if any touch-ups were needed since the swelling had gone down by now. I also wanted to get a picture for my book if he'd let me. While I was looking over the ink it happened again. The soul thing from the cemetery. Only this time the sunbeam was larger and covered all of Baby Jessica's face. Then it hit me. What the headstone guys carve into stone is forever and I can't wipe away the ink on Ray's back, but God can heal a tattooed heart.

HEADS UP New York!!! Seized Today and For Sale Tomorrow~ Well now, wasn't that an amazing recovery for the abused animals!?!
Please tell how it's possible for animals to be in danger of a life threatening situation that would call for immediate seizure and to jail the owner who by the way owns many champion show dogs, for cruelty and suddenly available for adoption (RESALE-Became retail pets) After looking at the pictures, I can smell the Animal Right's Nazi Gestopos from here. TWO large seizures of animals from breeders = the creation of more very bad laws in New York State as openly stated by the Attorney General of New York. Difficult to hide the corruption when it's being jammed down our throats
http://wnyt.com/article/stories/s3318908.shtml [Video at the link]
German Shepherds seized in Greene County available for adoption
The Columbia-Greene Humane Society and the Greene County Sheriff's Office removed 39 German Shepherd dogs and one cat from homes at 596 Morrison Road and 221 Hervey-Sunside Road.
The dogs were found living in such horrible conditions that investigators say the smell made their eyes water.
If you are interested in adopting the dogs, call the shelter (I do not advertise for animal adoption RETAIL RESCUE PETS for animals taken from seizure)
Dawn Verdeschi, 44, has been charged with animal cruelty.
A second suspect, Christopher Cella, 55, of Durham is wanted for questioning.
More BULLSHIT that you didn't want to know…And as usual someone stating this is the worst case of animal cruelty I have ever seen…right bud…UNTIL THE NEXT ONE RIGHT?!? Just more BULLSHIT LIKE I SAID ~They Animal Rights Nazi Gestopo are taking orders for these dogs -hummmm, just like Girl Scout cookies…
Dozens of animals removed from Durham properties, woman in custody
DURHAM, N.Y. — Dozens of dogs and a cat were removed from two properties in the Town of Durham Sunday, and a woman was taken into custody, according to the Greene County Sheriff's Office.
Authorities called the conditions inside the properties deplorable.
Deputies said an anonymous call stating concern for the animals sparked the investigation at 221 Hervey Sunside Rd. as well as a second location on Morrison Road.
Members of the Columbia-Greene Humane Society also responded. They removed 39 dogs and one cat from both properties. Seven of the dogs were puppies.
One humane society member said a dog found inside one of the homes did not have water and quickly ate snow when it was brought outside.
Greene County Sheriff Greg Seeley said 43-year-old Dawn Verdeschi was charged with one count of Failure to Provide Food and Water. More charges may be filed.
The animals are being examined by a veterinarian at the Columbia-Greene Humane Society. There were no animal deaths as far as the humane society knows.
Deborah Albanese walked into a shocking scene when she checked on her rental property over the weekend. She said she was disgusted to discover dozens of dogs underneath garbage.
"You didn't even know where a dog was until it started to bark," she said. "My eyes started to water. That's how bad the smell is."
The Greene County Sheriff's Office executed a search warrant Sunday at the house at 596 Morrison Rd. and began a rescue and investigation into the actions of Verdeschi.
"I can't close my eyes to that," Albanese continued. "I had to call the police. I called 911."
Seeley said Verdeschi was breeding and selling the dogs.
Officials said 29 dogs were seized from the property after Verdeschi refused to surrender the dogs.
"Some of them were so skinny and scared," Albanese said.
"Really, in my 30-year career in law enforcement, this is the worst animal abuse case I've seen," Seeley said. "There was cages on top of cages with dogs in each of the cages. There was feces on top of the dogs that was running down."
Eleven German Shepherds were seized from the property on Hervey Sunside Road.
"That is the best feeling out of this whole thing is that those dogs are saved," Albanese said. "I can replace everything that's in that place, but you cannot replace a life."
The sheriff's office said Verdeschi made bail Sunday night. The dogs remain at the Columbia Greene Humane Society
So hungry they ate snow…are you kidding me?!? Those dogs are NOT underweight furthermore any dog might do that to play in the snow…Can someone tell me if permission was granted by a judge for the media to be trespassing on the property?!?
Those dog don't appear to be in bad shape to me…And while the conditions are tight inside it appears she was keeping the younger dogs warm onside…OMG!!! There's some torn newspaper scattered on the floor…BIG WHOOP…I do NOT see piles of feces or puddles of urine to make anyone's eyes water…Matter of fact, I've heard that statement before yet not a single tissue appeared to wipe their eyes, no face masks and bet no meter (sniff test)…BULLSHIT Deborah Albanese-WALL OF SHAME!!! Just how long have those dogs been there and you are just now noticing them-LIAR!!!
Quick, call in your order before they run out of dogs to get on the list-SERIOUSLY?!?
So lucky to have GREAT neighbors here…All have animals and everyone minds their own business but invited to stop in a anytime-Just please call first because I still freak out when cars drive by…and for no reason accept for suffering from the abuse of authority from law enforcement!!! Interesting most are from Texas isn't it!!!
There was yet another article but why bother presenting stories where the adjectives escalate…The New York Animal Rights Nazi Gestopo are excited for the bounty they will receive-Wouldn't it be hilarious if awarded to someplace else-Maybe someone or another NFP should stake a claim to these animals if to be awarded to a NFP and watch the feud for the bounty of extremely valuable animals that will likely be S/N or changed out with another and remain as breeders…Yes they do-You know they do…Happens all the time and a transfer in the paperwork or change of registry…No different than Hitler who did eat meat as the VEGAN law certainly didn't apply to him-Sound familiar!?! It should after all, Hitler was the first to create animal rights as law in Europe-Can't experiment on an animal; just skin a human being or gas em…Now that's deplorable!!!
So that's number two in New York in a matter of a few weeks time, who's next?!?
Disclaimer connected to this blog…Things said are of my opinion and the opinion of others…Stay tuned -B

Another example of theft by the DOG NAPPERS!!
These dogs are beautiful.
if you want to know about a warrant, I suggest you call and ask.
You are extremely delusional if you think that these dogs were well cared for.
Top Cat Roars is correct and I respect your comments and the defense of our civil liberties.
Mr. Delusional, I mean Pat, is likely one of the beneficiaries of the illegal raid, and based on his comments he seems to feel he understands what actually happened those three days in February 2014. Unless he was a member of the raiding party, he wouldn't have any idea what really happened, and if he was one of them, he also knows how illegal the raid was.
The fact is Pat, why don't you make a call verify the following. The search was illegal, and it violated the Fourth Amendment of the US Constitution. I suggest you look up some Supreme Court cases regarding illegal searches. I could provide the names of the case is but that would make it too easy for you.
Why don't you "make a call" and check out the details of the search warrant. If you are familiar with the case you'll be well aware that law enforcement entered and remained in two homes without search warrants and stayed in control of those homes and search those homes for 18 hours prior to getting a local judge, which lives less than one mile away, to sign a search warrant. Law Enforcement used the facts gained during the illegal search, after their warrantless entry, to apply for the search warrant. not sure what country you live in Pat, and I'm sure I could probably guess, specifically where, but in either case in the United States that's illegal.
Why don't you "make a call" Pat, and verify that law enforcement entered the house between 4 & 5 p.m. on Saturday February 8th, in the two search warrants were signed following morning Sunday February 9th between 10 and 10:30 a.m.. By U. S. Standards, that's a very long time to be searching a house without a warrant.
Once you made your calls Pat, to verify the above information why don't you come back to this site and explain how you believe that to be legal in the United States.
That day our government stole ppersonal property which happened to be dogs , but it could just as easily have been some other type of property. It's called policing for profits, and it's becoming a real problem in the United States as local law enforcement acting like a paramilitary groups believe they have the right steal people's personal property for their own benefit.
The details of this particular case, are not public yet. it's been a one sided story told by the same people that benefited by stealing personal property. Everyone in America needs to be worried if this type of behavior is condoned by courts and by society because today it was someone else property that was stolen, without Due Process, but tomorrow it could be your property.
I'm looking forward to hearing Pats response.
Top Cat Roars, keep up the good work

1 Hotels in Palampur on Apr 09 - Apr 10 for 1 Room ,1 Adult Change search
Palampur is a green hill station and a municipal council in the Kangra Valley in the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh, surrounded by tea gardens and pine forests before they merge with the Dhauladhar ranges. Palampur is the tea capital of northwest India but tea is just one aspect that makes Palampur a special interest place. An abundance of water and proximity to the mountains has endowed it with a mild climate. After being established by Dr. Jameson, who introduced tea plantations in the hill station, the tea produced in the town of Palampur gained international recognition and is a must buy for tourists along with the Tibetan handicrafts, carpets, and wooden handicrafts made here. And while you're shopping, do not forget to try out Jhol, a popular local drink made of rice water. Home to some of the tallest deodar trees in the country, Palampur is the perfect summer getaway offering stunning views of the snow clad Dhauladhar ranges.

Green Day – ¡Dos!
Green Day's trilogy continues as planned with the second installment of their ¡Uno!, ¡Dos!, ¡Tré! collection. ¡Dos! continues as expected from the band with slightly more of a rocker intensity than ¡Uno! but is still laced with hooks. And Green Day is known for their quick and effortless biting hooks and that makes ¡Dos!what you'd expect.
There's slightly more variation in the sound on this record compared to ¡Uno!. It opens with a short one-minute folk-styled introduction See You Tonight before heading into the pop-rock combo of Fuck Time which is an all-out cheese-fest complete with plenty of "baby baby" that seem odd for the band now at this point. What's more odd is the track Nightlife featuring rapped verses from Lady Cobra that feels more Gym Class Heroes than Green Day. An interesting mix but it feels very out-of-place from the rest of the album.
The album's closing track is the one that will likely be able to extend beyond the life of the record. Amy is a song dedicated to Amy Winehouse where Billie Joe pleads "Amy please don't go" over a single guitar track, likely the most sensitive Green Day can really get. The sentiment is there and it feels genuine.
¡Dos! is a slight step down from ¡Uno! where there seems to be less direction and more filler. Of course, with such a conclusion comes to inevitable question of, in hindsight, was the three-album idea a good one after all. ¡Tré! is out in just a week which will be three full-length albums in four months. As such, some of the thoughts that result conclude that the best from each title could have been combined into one awesome album, or the three records could have been spread over a longer period of time to give each some breathing room. Neither is necessary. In the digital age, listeners can pick the best tracks in a "make-your-own-album" sort of fashion while comparing with their Green Day friends. Make it a social event.
So far, Green Day have tackled a difficult task and aren't losing yet with their output. ¡Dos! isn't bad enough to warrant cancelling the rest of the trilogy nor would it have been good enough to be its own individual album period. This is a case of more is more and there are worthy tracks on here. It's just not immediately essential.

Stay up to date with the latest Onfleet news.
Onfleetand Dutchie are partnering up to provide cannabis dispensaries with cohesive ecommerce and delivery management solutions.
Onfleet's software supports "last-mile" logistics for businesses. Its services include an app for delivery drivers, a tracking and notification system for customers, and a dashboard on which managers can dispatch drivers automatically. They can also use the tool to optimize delivery routes to avoid traffic and view performance metrics.
The list ranks the region's most thriving businesses by their percent revenue growth over a three-year span from fiscal years 2016 to 2018. Onfleet was ranked higher than many well-known local companies, including Uber, Slack Technologies and Pinterest.
Onfleet, the fastest-growing provider of last-mile delivery management software, announced today that it has been ranked No. 124 on Inc. magazine annual Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the nation's fastest-growing private companies.
Since teaming up with Onfleet, United's ecommerce business has grown by leaps and bounds, seeing triple-digit increases year over year.
The Onfleet software platform can optimize delivery routes and even dispatch and track drivers in real time. Visually, retailers get a birds-eye view of the location of each driver, local customer and pickup/delivery task.
Onfleet won the first annual RTech supply chain innovation award for its online dashboard application. The application's software assists businesses to manage in-house deliveries, as well as managing outsourced last-mile deliveries.
Total Wine & More will offer same-day delivery of alcohol using Onfleet's last mile delivery software to manage their fleet.
With 300 paying customers and an average account paying $500 a month, is Onfleet the new king of delivery economy? Nathan Latka interviews Khaled Naim, Onfleet's CEO & Co-Founder.
At a time when consumers everywhere are expecting fast, efficient and low-cost deliveries of almost everything, Onfleet's SaaS platform is gaining traction in Europe, Asia, and Latin America. Ecommerce and on-demand businesses in these markets are using Onfleet to manage all aspects of the complicated last mile delivery process.
San Francisco's Onfleet, which helps companies deliver more efficiently, examined data from about 25 merchants in San Francisco and Los Angeles, comparing Super Bowl Sunday with the previous two Sundays. Among the findings: On-demand alcohol deliveries rose 75 percent in San Francisco from the previous Sunday.
The key to Onfleet's service: a system that picks the best delivery route and keeps dispatchers and customers well-informed, all for about 20 cents or less per delivery.
With unprecedented investor interest and round-the-clock launches of "Uber for X" services to get consumers what they want, when they want it, wherever they are, the on-demand economy has all but revolutionized the way we go about our lives.
Not only do people stay home to watch the Super Bowl, they also like preparing their own food for the festivities. At least that's according to data from San Francisco,CA-based Onfleet, a cloud-based delivery management platform. Through their partnerships with food, alcohol, and cannabis companies, they were able to collect some interesting data on peoples' food ordering habits during the Super Bowl.
Most of the deliveries Onfleet facilitates are in food and beverage, like groceries, prepared meals, alcohol and food from restaurants. In April 2015, the company said it had facilitated just 100,000 deliveries for the year.
Increasingly, on-demand companies are turning to San Francisco-based delivery-management software provider Onfleet. Founded by a Stanford business school student, a Stanford computer science dropout, and a University of New Brunswick computer science grad, Onfleet powers thousands of deliveries every day.
Onfleet recently raised $2 million from CrunchFund, Winklevoss Capital, the Stanford-StartX, and several individual investors, which the team will use to expand its purview beyond startups just raising their seed round or Series A.
You could say that it's all about speed at Onfleet, as the platform was optimized to free up delivery managers to focus on bottlenecks, or any other pressing issues. And the benefit of having reports on driver stats, seamless customer communication, and robust analytics goes without saying.

Cool, Castillo got 25 million more if you include the tax. This portrayal of robert as if he was ohtani (who would have netted about 150 million if he waited) is pretty comical. So everyone knew robert was elite and going to be amazing but no MLB team wanted to pay him 50+ plus arbitration for 7 years of service?

Real fire, heat, without smoke or flue duct, everywhere inside or outside !
• Ecologic : works with Bio Ethanol :
What is Bio Ethanol ?
Bio Ethanol is an alcohol taken from biological agriculture, and is obtained by fermenting plants like beetroot, sugar cane, corn or wheat. It belongs to the renewable energy family.
An ecological fuel
Bio Ethanol is environmentally friendly because CO2 produced at its combustion is offset by that absorbed during the life of the plant it comes from. Result : Burning Bio Ethanol does not increase the greenhouse effect.
Where to find it ?
Bio-feux® ensures the delivery of Bio Ethanol by carrier to your home in 2 liter bottles. In our stores and resellers, you can also get 10 liter jerrycans.
Where to store it ?
For security reasons, Bio Ethanol should not be stored within the reach of children or near a heat source. Cellars or garages, are perfectly suited.
• Without exaust conduct, no loss of heat:
A Bio-feux® chimney requires no exhaust conduct, as the burning of Bio Ethanol does not produce any smoke, or odour.
A traditional fireplace evacuates by it conduct 2/3 of the energy produced. This is not the case with a Bio-feux® chimney, which keeps the whole heat of combustion in the room.
• Without smoke, odours, or ashes:
Bio Ethanol is an alcohol distilled specifically for heating, residues have been removed, result : its combustion does not smoke or smell and generates no ashes.
• Low emission of CO2:
By burning, Bio Ethanol releases CO2 and water vapour. The amount of CO2 released is equivalent to approximatively 2 burning candles.
• Economic heaters:
Bio-feux® chimneys consume about 0.5 liter per hour of Bio Ethanol. The hourly cost is approximately chf 2.50 per hour.
With its power of about 3.6 KW/hour, a Bio-feux® chimney can increase the temperature of a room of 40 m2 from 6 to 8 degrees celcius in an hour (depending on the insulation)
• Long burning autonomy:
A 2,5 liter burner allows a range of 5-6 hours depending on the opening of the hatch. A 5 liter will therefore approximately double, ie. 10-12 hours.
• Easy to move :
Having no exhaust conduct, a Bio-feux® chimney is easily removable. If you move, it moves with you.

Seeing Red Everywhere: Amyloidosis Associated Gastrointestinal Bleeding in a Patient with Multiple Myeloma
Meeting: Hospital Medicine 2016, March 6-9, San Diego, Calif.
Abstract number: 461
Categories: Adult, Clinical Vignettes Abstracts
Keywords: Amyloidosis, Biopsy and Diagnosis, GI Bleed, Multiple Myeloma
Case Presentation:
Ms. S is a 64 year old woman recently diagnosed with multiple myeloma following a hip fracture and repair, who was transferred from an outside hospital for hematochezia. She was admitted to the outside hospital from a skilled nursing facility for presumed post-operative ileus complicated by nausea and vomiting. During that stay, she developed significant hematochezia and a hemoglobin drop from 10.2 g/dl to 7.9 g/dl. CT showed dilatation of small bowel though no wall thickening. The patient was transferred due to concern for gastrointestinal bleed.
The patient was tachycardic but normotensive on arrival. Her exam was positive for gross blood per rectum with infrequent bowel sounds, but otherwise unremarkable. Endoscopy showed friable, congested mucosa of the second part of the duodenum with oozing but no ulcers or visible vessels. The duodenum was subsequently biopsied. The colonoscopy showed maroon colored stools, without obvious source of bleeding. These procedures were complicated by hypotension and further blood loss, necessitating multiple transfusions and transfer to the ICU.
After the patient was stabilized, she was transferred to the medicine service. She was placed on a proton pump inhibitor and showed no further signs of gastrointestinal bleeding. The biopsy from the duodenum stained positive for Congo red in both the mucosal lamina propria and submucosal vessel walls, consistent with amyloidosis. She was later discharged to follow up with the oncology service for discussion of outpatient chemotherapy treatment.
AL Amyloidosis is a known association with multiple myeloma. It commonly presents with renal or cardiac symptoms. Gastrointestinal involvement is seen in only 1-8% of AL amyloidosis cases with 25-45% of these presenting with bleeding. Other complications include malabsorption, dysmotlility, pseudo-obstruction, and mesenteric ischemia.
Initial management involves controlling the source of the bleeding. In order to control the underlying disease, this patient could undergo a course of melphalan followed by autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation. A case series of patients treated with high dose melphalan followed by autologous hematopoietic cell transplant showed complete response in 34% of patients. Those with a complete response have a median event-free survival of 8.3 years versus 2 years for those who do not.
In patients with multiple myeloma and new onset gastrointestinal bleeding, amyloidosis should be considered as part of the differential diagnosis. Definitive diagnosis requires a tissue biopsy with positive Congo red staining. Currently, one treatment option involves melphalan and autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation, which can be effective in reversing amyloid deposition in the gastrointestinal tract.

I had registered for twitter way back in December. For the unknown, it constantly asks you to answer one simple question "what are you doing" either at the site or from IM. It allows you to follow/subscribe to see what your friends are doing. Thats all, no big deal. In short it is like the status message shown on gtalk. Or say orkut self scraps + friends scraps at one place.
But after hanging around a little (2 minutes), I had no idea why it would make sense or how it was supposed to work or any clue why one would use it. I have my blog for my updates and twitter was like self-scrapping in orkut 1 . And then there is always orkut itself. And I did not want to give one more url related to me to others when the subscribers on this blog itself is 31 2 — hey thats a good news by the way. Hello every thirtyone !!
Distractions, I say! Back to topic.
But twitter saw a huge increase in numbers during SxSw , later they had scaling problems, analysis of increase in numbers showed it increasing at a rate higher than blogs. And now it or its cousins have become a hit. See this site to visually see the updates to twitter acorss the globe – TwitterVision 4. There is one with a photo messaging. . And digg+twitter = truemors.
Kept hearing a lot about it but I kept ignoring it but finally, recently understood one key factor which I think makes it work (more than any other reason) : its sms alerts in US – to send or recieve twits – which will instantly deliver the updates to "what are you doing" to those who follow you. Suddenly it makes sense to me5 :). Call it mobile-blogging or mundane updates or whatever, its success is quite huge !
In India, alternatives are present like Webaroo [via] but none are offering free sms 🙁 I know thats too much to ask for but I somehow feel, if such a service comes up 6, it would be a hit like orkut, among my peers – some of who are lazy to read/write blog.
Here is my twitter page, twitter feed. You might have observed the pretty thingy on the sidebar too. Once I upgrade the WP, using Twitter tools plugin I will think of integrating in some other way.
Lots of support sites to twitter have born of which – email to twitter and firefox plugin twitbin are my favorites. Other firefox twitter tools.
I guess none of you are on twitter, add me as friend when you join 🙂 To help you start with, here is starter guide. Huge resource list/help here. Thats it for those with short attention span. Rest can continue reading.
I don't think in recent times anything has generated as much discussion as the twitter – especially the opinions being diagonally opposite to each other- one swearing this has been the most stupidest and other saying this was being waited for. One saying most unproductive, time wasting-distracting tool to another explaining how it could be put to use
Twitter can be distracting, but it can be useful. It's up to you.
to explaining how you could be industry expert to how smart men use it.
One swearing its death is around the corner (208 comments) and its just hyped up and other claiming this will long last -(or that twitter to this decade is what email/sms/blog was for previous decade). There will be either an article or an application (either useful or just for fun or "most bizzare app for twitter") every week or other. ( Even those that I have not linked to are on web, too lazy to search and link)
What I personally think is that – its a damn good integration of various features and it is different for each one depending on how you want to use them. Its like digg for some, its like blogging for some, its just social networking with its connectivity being instant – sms/im. Or for some it could be a combination of all these.
Social networking like orkut, for me now is huge time wasting – unless you are using it while in office! – in the sense that there is no value gain, but among my friends attitude like mine is rare. Even generally, orkut has not died! Today you might understand orkut but I remember when it came about, most of my friends did not join for almost an year – there was "whats orkut?" from everyone (or probably it was totally due to different reason). But today everyone gets the idea with orkut. There is no reason twitter can be any different. In fact it could be more catchy since there are different ways to use it, you need not always log in, the plugins will still operate from office even in twitter is blocked, sms/im interface will let you be in touch even when not using office internet.
Coming to blogging, again, I know lot of people who are lazy to read blogs. For them since all their friends updates is available at one place, it helps. Those of you who are too lazy to have a blog or those of you who are clueless what to update on the blog, this still will work for you.
from here
1. Twitter is easier to use than Blogger was and had a lower barrier to entry.
2. Twitter has more ways to update (web, phone, IM, Twitterific) than did Blogger.
3. Blogger's growth was limited by a lack of funding.
4. Twitter had a larger pool of potential users to draw on.
5. Twitter has a built-in social aspect that Blogger did not.
6. Twitter's 140-character limit encourages more messages.
7. More people are using Twitter for conversations than was the case with Blogger.
Here are links to twitter tips and tricks , twitter-blog integration tools.
And here is a description to micro blogging and twitter
Media companies such as the BBC , The New York Times and Al Jazeera are trying out Twitter as a way to send headlines and links to stories. The campaigns for presidential candidates John Edwards and Barack Obama also have Twitter profiles, with thousands of "friends" and "followers" who check out updates.
On a post that says how twitter is a hot cake to be bought over now, Scoble points to the immense advertising oppurtunity
You're missing the even bigger opportunity for marketers: people are telling us WHAT THEY USE and WHAT THEY LIKE. If you can listen and learn to engage people on Twitter you'll find a marketing goldmine here. If I were really smart, I'd hire a team to categorize each Twitterer 24-hours-a-day. I'd start building a database of behaviors shared. Someone say "changing the diapers." Well, now we know they have a newborn at home. What could marketers do with THAT? TONS!
Those who are still reading, here is some more info. One of the people behind twitter is the same who created blogger.
Ev jumpstarted the blogging revolution and tried to do the same with podcasting until Apple jumped into the ring and squashed all the competition. Twitter is his well deserved second home run.
There are several cousins of twitter on the same model like dodgeball,(acquired by Google), groovr but a little more famous is jaiku which came a little late than twitter but it includes lot of other things including an important difference – allows feeding to be imported on mainstream. 7
Jaiku is like blog posts+Twitter stream+Flickr photos (hey, thats what my yahoo pipe is also!) . Here are differenceexplaining links.
Jaiku is more of who you are than what are you doing which is twitter..[..]Where Twitter has evolved into almost a chat room, Jaiku has evolved into a Lifestream.What's the difference? Well what you chat about and 'do' is only part of the picture. There are also photos, bookmarks, blog posts, music selections and more – each of which are not found on your Twitter stream. In fact I have seen many argue that they should NEVER be found in Twitter. Twitter is for human updates about human things.
Blogging is like putting up stalls in an exhibition and speaking the mind blindfolded. Some people enter the room, listen to you and/or converse with you. Chatting is exactly like chatting over a cup of coffee. Orkut scrapping is like, peeking into neighbour's house to see if he is there and to talk to him, if he isn't there to leave a note. Emailing is posting a mail to someone. Twitter is somewhat a combination of some of these in the sense it allows multi way communication cum broadcasting plus more.8
My final take:
As with any social communication tool, this tends to be addictive, time wasting, interfering, distracting but again as with other services, its quite fun, could be put to use, great way to keep in touch, neat microblogging utility, an unbelievable good combination or orkut+sms+blog+digg, and if you follow me on twitter, I shall follow you 🙂
Right now I am twittering in vaccum, come join and hear me 🙂
And this is my jaiku lifestream.
Ps: Ah!, this is the length of posts that would do justice to Talkr ! But you can't follow the links then. Lots of useful links there, let me know how many you clicked.
[1] I always wondered why did they not plugin the blogs within orkut – either create a new one or to link to the existing blogpost, rest of the footnote grew enough to be a post!
[2] according to Feedburner 3 – which again I had an account long ago but never used it until Google announced to buy it over. Feedburner, I guess that time did not provide email alerts or something, due to which I used Feedster -which gave lot of options. Now feedburner lets me connect feedster for email alerts and after google buying it I thought I can remember one less uname/pwd and logged in now. Now this blog's feed is redirected to Feedburner feed (via the plugin) and fed to you!! So there, all for you, my dear 31 readers 🙂 . Now click that ad there or at least leave a comment for my this selfless act!
[3] I know there is some noise there, I should not have tried various feed services with my own feed. Now there is no way to delete it.
[4]Have you seen FlickrVision?
[5]also, as you know I am a huge fan of sms
[6] Inactiv in Karnataka gave such a service but one thing lacking is a web user interface
[7]there is twitku which integrates to look up to updates from both accounts.
[8]Who would have thought The Trueman Show could get real and practical ?

Missing part of UConn experience
Part of the UConn experience will be lacking this season
Of the University of Connecticut's decision to scrap its cheerleading program and replace it with a tumble-free "Spirit Squad" we have this to say:
It's Bananas,
It's, It's Bananas,
B-A-N- (well, you get the idea).
According to a story this week by reporter Marc Gauthier in The Daily Campus, UConn's student newspaper: "Members of the spirit squad will cheer at certain sporting events, but will no longer perform gymnastics or stunts and are not required to have any prior cheering or gymnastics experience."
Reasons that university officials have offered up for the change range from encouraging more diversity on the squad to moving toward a style that, in the words of club sports adviser Kate Durant, includes more "audience-engaging cheers that enhance fans' level of participation and spirit."
Hence, apparently, the name, Spirit Squad.
From Ms. Durant's description of the new style, it sounds like the type of cheerleading most of us might associate more with high school. Which is fine, but college cheerleading is a different thing. College cheerleaders at big-time programs like UConn are as impressive as those they root for. They are expert gymnasts who rightfully take great pride in their well-honed abilities. To take away gymnastic-based cheerleading is to deprive these elite athletes of an outlet for their unique skills.
This decision, which understandably is unpopular with many on campus, also raises a question: Is there suddenly a problem with the pep in the stands at UConn games? College kids tend to not need tons of prodding to scream their lungs out at sporting events.
The reasons offered up by the university leadership make no sense.
Or, if UConn officials do feel kids in the stands have to be taught how to get R-O-W-D-Y, why not simply make that a new part of what the cheerleading squad does? Or expand the ranks to include "cheerleaders," in the literal sense, in addition to the tumblers who have comprised the squad for many years.
According to Mr. Gauthier's report, as of late last week, UConn still hadn't found a coach for the Spirit Squad, which isn't good since UConn's first home football game is Sept. 12.
If the new unit is not ready by then, we're sure fans in the stands will still find a way to make a racket.
But even if the Spirit Squad is in full swing, fans might find a big part of the experience is missing.
