from the period of his banishment from Florence up to the day of his death; and which might enable a biographer to narrate at least that portion of his life with much exactness of detail. No reasonable doubt can attach to the literary anecdote I am about to relate; for, at the same time that it contradicts nothing told in any of the elder comments, it is itself most circumstantially given by two of the oldest of them, Boccaccio and the Riccardi M. S. which only vary enough to corroborate each other, by showing (an observation already made by me in speaking of Francesca da Rimini) that they were not derived from identical sources, though their account is identical (0.
Dante was Florentine Ambassador in Rome when the first sentence of banishment was pronounced against him in January, i3oa; and immediately upon learning it, he departed from a city, where it is likely he could not have staid with any safety (since Boniface vin. was yet alive) and retiring to Sienna and thence to Arezzo, was named by the Chiefs of the white Guelphs (as soon as they were exiled , about three months after he had been so himself) one of the twelve counsellors entrusted with the supreme authority; and in this quality he accompanied them in that unsuccessful attempt to re-instate themselves at home in i3o4, which, I said formerly, was patronised by the new Pontiff

After that overthrow, our Poet wandered into the north of Italy, and took up his residence for at least a short time in Padua; for there is extant a legal instrument belonging to the Papafava family which bears Dante's signature, as one of the witnesses. The asking of him to witness it was probably intended as a compliment to an illustrious stranger; and his signature, besides its usual mode of designating his family and country, informs us that he was regularly domiciliated there, and even tells in what street his house stood C1). Returning into Tuscany we find him signing a treaty in Mugello in i3o7, without specification of month or day (*); but probably in January. From Mugello (where the Whites made a last feeble struggle ) he went early in the same year, to the Marquis Malaspina's near Sarzana. Thus full five years had elapsed since his exile, when he found himself with Malaspina. Although this be an instance in which Boc

Malaspina, an estimable nobleman of Lunigiana, recovered those Cantos of the Divine Comedy which had been written by him in Florence (').' For the violence of the Blacks against the exiled Whites being a little calmed about this time, and popular excesses consequently repressed, the sufferers began to be permitted to turn themselves towards legal interference and seek for some reparation for their losses (*): on which Dante's wife (who was a Donati, and had with her children obtained refuge in her brother's house, when obliged to fly from her own ) was advised to put in her claim likewise, and to require that at least her dowry should be paid out of her condemned husband's property which seems to

There is no ground for believing her to have been a literary lady, nor were writings in those days of any mercantile value; it was then a natural and affecting example of conjugal tenderness in her, to select, in that moment of trepidation and danger, not any of the effects which were of more intrinsic worth in vulgar eyes ( and probably even in her

Important Notes
1. With effect from 2 September 2019, the Academic Secretariat (AS) has been renamed as the Academic Registry (AR) while its Chinese departmental title (教務處) remains unchanged. The post of Academic Secretary has thus been re-titled as Registrar (R) on the same date while its Chinese post title (教務長) remains unchanged.
2. The AS Forms has also been converted from "AS" to "AR" (e.g. from "Form AS35" to "Form AR35") on the same date.

Now the report of the inquiry into Mental Health and Addiction has been released the Government needs to prioritise the sector and provide increased support for the mental health of New Zealanders, National's Mental Health spokesperson Matt Doocey says.
"The inquiry recommends a cross-government approach to mental health, increases in access and a focus on more prevention and early intervention. These were all provided for in our $100 million fund which should have been supporting New Zealanders' mental health for almost a year.
"Unfortunately, our initiatives which included e-therapy, telehealth, increased mental health provision in schools, and a co-response pilot to improve the response to mental health incidents were scrapped by this Government whose report now supports them.
"The report also recommends a cross-party working group on mental health. Yet when National reached out to create a cross-party working group on mental health earlier this year the opportunity was rejected by all Government parties.
"The Government has set back progress by at least a year and a half, and in the meantime, the mental health of New Zealanders is getting worse, not better. After an entire year, this report is finally done. Now is the time for the Health Minister to take some action.
"We don't think that New Zealanders should have to wait till March next year to hear about the Government's response to this report – one which would take a further six months to fund and implement.
"With the Government periodically doling out a $3 billion regional slush fund surely it can prioritise funding to support the mental health of New Zealanders now."

How are you doing this day?
I pray that you are okay!
I just want to share with you a way that you can Destress Yourself within a minute.
If you experience negative emotions like anger, anxiety, and/or depression, stress relief may not come within a minute but if you practice this on a regular basis you can, and will discover calmness more regularly, anytime, and anywhere.
Remember practice conditions into permanence...
First, find yourself sitting upright and relaxed in a quiet uninterrupted environment.
Second, close your eyes and take a slow deep breath in through your nose, filling your lungs to full capacity, like balloons.
Third, hold your inhalation for three seconds.
Fourth, exhale slowly through your mouth, imagining yourself releasing all of your tension as you breath out, and intentionally feel your body relax.
Do this three times.
Finally, sit for a moment and see if you can feel your heart beat.
When we do this exercise we intentionally relax and take our thoughts, which might be racing due to stress, out of our head and bring our focus into our body.
This can be done at anytime and anywhere but the most desirable place would be in the quiet privacy of your home when alone.
Make this a regular practice and you will notice your ability to relieve yourself from stress immediately when needed.
I just wanted to give you a simple way to release strain and tension if needed, especially in light of one of my last posts and trying to persuade you to meditate.
This is a path of practice into safety and security in the present moment when the mind is tricking you into fear.
In other words, practicing the self out of insecurity into confidence, which will not only help you in the moment but, it will help you in your future.
Try it...
You'll like it...
And, you will begin to discover the real relief is within you.
God bless you my friend...
I love you!
Hello Dear Guest. Welcome To My How To Destress Yourself Blog. Destressing yourself is all about connecting to God, and relieving the spiritual strain brought on by human conditioning.

An ultrathin high-end laptop, a new line of smartphones and a "home robot" named Zenbo helped Taiwan-based Asus grab numerous headlines ahead of today's launch of the Computex 2016 ICT expo and conference in Taipei.
During a preview "Zenvolution" press event at Computex yesterday, Asus introduced a new family of ZenFone 3 smartphones, as well as a number of new devices developed in collaboration with Intel. It also took the wraps off its first-ever robotic assistant, which is designed to provide different household services based on the specific needs of individual family members.
Computex 2016, which runs through Saturday, focuses on technologies for business, gaming and the Internet of Things. It is also putting a special focus on technology startups this year through its new InnoVEX exhibits and events.
Ultralight, Ultrathin ZenBook 3
"The ubiquitous cloud computing era brings us to the crossroads of evolution and revolution," Asus chairman Jonney Shih said at the start of yesterday's press event. "Evolution perfects our existing experience, while revolution fulfills our wildest dreams for proactive computing."
With that introduction, Shih announced the new ZenBook 3 (pictured above), which he described as "the world's most prestigious laptop." Featuring an Intel Core i7 processor and 16 GB of RAM, as well as 1 TB of SSD storage, the ZenBook 3 is priced at $1,999. A lower-cost version starting at $999 comes with an Intel Core i5 processor, 4 GB of RAM and 256 GB of SSD storage.
Clearly aimed at Apple's MacBook, the ZenBook 3 is 11.9 millimeters thick and weighs just 910 grams. It also features a new, quiet cooling system design that uses a liquid crystal polymer fan impeller that's only 3 millimeters thick. Asus has not yet announced a release date for the ZenBook 3.
Caretaker Robot Does Entertainment, Too
Billed as "your smart little companion," Zenbo — with its spherical body — bears a slight resemblance to BB-8, the droid that made its appearance in the most recent Star Wars film. In addition to being able to remind the elderly about doctor's appointments or medication schedules, Zenbo can tell stories and play songs for children, as well as project movies or photo slideshows for home entertainment.
While a release date for Zenbo hasn't been announced yet, Asus has revealed a price: $599.
Among the other devices Asus unveiled at Computex are the ZenFone 3 Deluxe, a 5.7-inch, full-HD smartphone with an aluminum-alloy body; the 5.5-inch ZenFone 3 and 6.8-inch ZenFone 3 Ultra; the Transformer 3 Pro 2-in-1 PC; and the Transformer Mini, which — at 530 grams — Asus is calling "the world's lightest 2-in-1 PC."
Asus devices have won four Best Choice awards and 12 design and innovation awards at Computex 2106. Among the award winners was the Reco Smart, Asus' in-car dashboard camera that also functions as a portable camera, and the Asus BRT-AC828/M2 802.11ac router for startups, small businesses, branch offices and classrooms.

Beginner's Guide to Fortress Forever
I decided to write this as I felt FF lacked a good introduction for beginners. Feel free to reproduce/link to from anywhere, as long as you make it clear you didn't make it originally.
What is Fortress Forever?
Fortress Forever is a Source mod designed to emulate TFC gameplay to a certain extent, though since release it has taken its own creative direction. It currently has a small but active community.
What are the system requirements?
* Minimum: 1.2 GHz Processor, 512MB RAM, DirectX 7 level graphics card, Windows 2000/XP, Mouse, Keyboard, Internet Connection
* Recommended: p4 3.0Ghz / Athlon 3400 GHz Processor, 1.5GB RAM, DirectX 9 level graphics card, Windows 2000/XP, Mouse, Keyboard, Internet Connection
One of the following games:
* Half-Life 2, Episode 1, or Episode 2
* Day of Defeat: Source
* Counter-Strike: Source
* Half-Life 2: Deathmatch (cheapest at $4.99)
* Team Fortress 2
* Portal
Note that free promotional versions of Half-Life 2: Deathmatch and Portal do not come with the required software.
How do I get started?
Download the "2.41 Full Installer" from here:
Why are there no servers with any players?
Good question. Due to the small community, there are often dead periods. Either check back in an hour or two, or choose one of the servers below to idle in and hope someone joins you (shouldn't take too long, setting the game to windowed mode so you can quickly alt-tab in and out may be a good idea for this).
What gamemodes are available?
There are two categories of game mode which are commonly played: Capture the Flag (CTF), and Attack-Defend (AvD). The mode Fortress Forever is balanced for is CTF.
For various reasons, which I won't go into, CTF is usually played with Blue/Green attacking and Red defending. This is always done in pickup games, though in public games it is polite to do this, particularly when there is a small number of players.
Fortress Forever is not a deathmatch game: trying to get kills is not the objective. Your focus should be as attacker on trying to move the flag and as defender on trying to prevent the movement of the flag.
Which class should I choose?
There are two categories of class in FF: Offense and Defense.
*Pyro and Soldier are flexible, though in CTF games it is often considered rude to use heavier classes for offense. These guidelines are less rigid in AvD, but defensive Scouts and Medics are usually frowned upon, if not disabled by the map's settings.
As a new player, you should get a feel for every class and choose the one that suits your playstyle best. However, some classes are more accessible than others: Scout and Medic are reliant on advanced movement skills which require a fair amount of practice. Probably some of the best to start out with are:
What's all this business with grenades?
Most classes have both a standard frag grenade and a special grenade. These can be thrown while firing another weapon. The default key is F for frag (primary) and G for special (secondary). Holding one of these keys will cause you to "cook" (hold) the grenade until you let go of the key, allowing you to time it so it explodes right in the face of your opponent.
The classes' grenades are as follows:
What about the four classes you haven't talked about yet?
Tell me more about these "advanced skills".
Really these form the basis of what distinguishes Fortress Forever from other FPSes. I'm going to go through the most important ones here.
So, what are the main points I need to remember?

Address: Jack Butel
Jersey, Channel Islands
Jerseyman Jack Butel got his 2019 British GT season underway at Oulton Park over the Easter Bank Holiday weekend. With Irish teammate Connor O'Brien – the pair in their Aston Martin GT4 claimed two sixth-place finishes in class and leave the Cheshire venue tenth in the GT4 standings.
The young Optimum Racing duo were working together for the first time and were eager to complete both one-hour races, gather further data and learn the brand new GT4 car from Aston Martin.
After a difficult qualifying session, the Aston Martin Academy duo were fully focused on race day on Easter Monday. In race one the Channel Islander stayed out of trouble as he threaded the Aston Martin around the picturesque Oulton Park layout. As the clock struck zero, Butel and O'Brien finished sixth in class and 20th overall.
With a second high-octane race in the afternoon, the thousands of fans that flocked to the circuit were treated to an exciting race. Butel and O'Brien started towards the back of the grid but the pair strung together a competitive showing to carve their way through the pack to clinch another sixth in class at the fall of the flag.
"It was a tough weekend as we tried to dial in the new car for both Connor and myself," explained Butel. "Qualifying was a bit disappointing, but we showed some promise in the race to move forward. Oulton Park is a really narrow track, which made overtaking difficult with these big cars, so we didn't make as much progress as we liked. However, we ended the weekend with the car in one piece and without a scratch, so we can use this as a springboard for the next round."
The next round of the British GT series will be held at Snetterton on 18-19 May.

Deductions for charitable giving will be significantly reduced in the coming years. Does this mean that the worthy causes that are the recipients of philanthropy will have to get by on less? How can companies afford to support non-profits given this situation?
Even without the existing tax deductions, there are ample reasons that are in the best interest of private corporations' brand building to support worthy cause organizations. Why not take some of the over $200,000,000,000 we spend each year in the U.S. on conventional advertising and redirect it to another form of advertising–namely, worthy cause marketing?
This is what we used to successfully build a best-selling national brand. We were pioneers in the use of what we termed, "worthy cause marketing." Here are the basics we learned that you can use to build your brand using worthy cause marketing:
1. Identify a Worthy Cause.
Find a cause that resonates with your goods or services. If the cause's goals are met, you should be able to sell more of your product or service. If you are selling fishing gear, would you be likely to increase your sales if there were more wild rivers? And if your company services a specific geographical area, would you benefit if the residents of that area knew about your products and had a social reason to purchase them? Find the cause that resonates with your brand, and see if it makes dollars and sense for your company to support.
2. Establish Strategic Alliances.
Within the broad umbrella of the worthy cause that resonates with your company, identify several non-profit organizations (NPO's). Look for those with memberships that include potential buyers of your products or services either because they reside in your sales area or fit the profile of your ideal customer. Help these organizations get their word out and raise funds in return for goodwill among their members and supporters. When they see you as part of their community, the members have a social reason to buy your products and be loyal to your brand.
3. Be a Team Player.
You can use your marketing people to promote their cause, and your distribution system to access an audience they can scarcely touch. Your people can help them with fundraisers and co-promotional events. The NPO can allow you to address their membership with the reasons you support their cause, and what you are doing to help. They can acknowledge your contribution, and allow you to communicate how their members can access your products and services. All this costs them nothing. Now, their membership sees you as part of their team, and is more likely to choose your brand over all the other options available to them.
4. Be More Efficient.
We found worthy cause marketing to be more efficient than commercial advertising. That's because it specifically addresses the customers who shared our brand's ideals. And our support gave them a social reason to buy. Most conventional advertising is a shotgun-blast approach where you hope to get the attention of someone who shares an interest with your brand's message. Even the advertising agencies will tell you that you need repeated advertising to gain any traction. Why not go a more efficient route, and trump the effects of advertising with NPO member loyalty?
There is a perfect match with a cause that is worthy of your company, your product, and your brand. The results of worthy cause marketing may be more effective for you than any other form of advertising. And you will be able to establish your brand as standing for something greater than your product!

Making a choice shows your values as a human being; and it makes very intricate intrusions as well. How you choose your goals, your friends; your soul-mate is all a commentary on your attitude and ethics.
Having a clue
Academically, you don't need to be prescient about the aspect; you just have to be clued before you get glued. There are certain qualities you shall not ignore while selecting dissertation topics, say, on marketing.
- Firstly, you should choose a topic that deals with the inveterate fabric of marketing. Therein, it will allow you a glorious entry and also present the suffusing state of the genre. All you need to do is streamline from there.
- Secondly, you need to emphasize on the interest factor. The topical theme has to be verily curiosity-oriented. Otherwise, the dissertation is too large a wok to keep the interest going among readers. On your part, you should utilize excellent resources so that the paper seems authenticated.
- Thirdly, you need to have grounding in the topic. You cannot choose topic out of a sudden whim or infatuation. Even if it is a towering trend, you shall bypass it unless you know too much about it or care to make thorough enquiries.
- The topic should allow you seminal methodology and analysis. It helps if it affects a larger populace. This will also galvanize the readership. What is important is to keep a distinctive perception about the theme; not the milk from the same fodder, if you will.
- You also need to find topics that require solutions; wherein there are questions that need to be answered and are integral to the marketing regime. When you have the questions, there is all the more reason to find answers.
- You should pick up themes that involve a number of examples and instances, so you can calibrate your opinion by going the whole floss. Choosing independent topics that are completely unrelated may just put you in a soup from which it would be hard to revive.
- The topic itself should be forward-deployed and clear in essence. The mention of the topic should ingratiate an abiding sentiment in listeners or readers. Of course, here is where you will have to put in an effort.
Remember that marketing is a regime that is wholly dynamic and where quotients keep changing by the month. Therefore, make sure that you do not choose a static theme. Go for it.

The Skylog
This proposal in an homage to The Skylon Tower of 1951, a slender tensegrity structure built for the Festival of Britain on The Southbank, and dismantled in 1952 due to insufficient government funds to relocate it.
Our "Skylog" was designed for The Southbank's Wintertime Festival. The proposal is a contemporary and locally relevant alternative to a christmas tree. The trunk of the tree is suspended between three festive red posts and would be fully illuminated at night.

Talk about a Stormy start to the fall congressional session.
Porn star Stormy Daniels said Tuesday she's gung ho about testifying before Congress amid revelations that House Democrats are gearing up to investigate President Trump's role in salacious hush payments issued to her and another woman before the 2016 election.
"I have no fear of being under oath because I have been and will be honest. Bring it!" tweeted Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford.
Daniels' upbeat missive came on the heels of sources confirming the House Judiciary Committee plans to pick up where federal prosecutors left off and dig into the $130,000 hush payment that was issued to her on Trump's behalf in exchange for her promising to keep her lips sealed about allegedly having sex with the president in 2006.
Hearings on the matter could take place as early as next month, a person familiar with the matter told the Daily News.
The Democratically-controlled committee, which will resume its work when Congress kicks back into session next week, will investigate the $150,000 hush payoff issued to former Playboy playmate Karen McDougal as well, according to the source. Like Daniels, McDougal says she took the cash before the 2016 election in exchange for keeping mum about an alleged affair with Trump.
A spokesman for the judiciary committee declined to comment on whether it will take Daniels up on her offer to testify.
McDougal did not respond to emailed questions on whether she would be willing to testify.
The judiciary committee will look into the Daniels and McDougal payoffs as part of its more sweeping inquiry into alleged crimes committed by Trump and whether they warrant articles of impeachment, according to sources.
Former Trump fixer Michael Cohen was sentenced to three years in prison in part for pleading guilty to campaign finance crimes stemming from the Daniels and McDougal payoffs.
Federal prosecutors in New York closed their investigation into the matter in July without charging anyone else with campaign finance crimes, even though court papers implicated Trump and others, including American Media, Inc., CEO David Pecker, in the illegal payoff scheme.
The decision to not charge anyone else raised speculation from legal experts that Trump may have been shielded by longstanding Justice Department policies that say sitting presidents can't be criminally indicted.
The House judiciary panel, which is led by Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.), indicated it was interested in probing the pre-2016 election hush payoffs in March, when it demanded any records related to the payments from Pecker and fellow AMI executive Dylan Howard.

Amazon recently announced itself as a major player in the premium web video space with the release of Alpha House, its first original series. The Garry Trudeau creation earned reviews resembling those received by House of Cards, and it saw strong viewership numbers over its debut weekend.
One week later, Amazon debuted its second original, Betas, and the early reviews lead us to believe it has much less of a chance to become a groundbreaking hit. According to the critical consensus, Betas is hot-and-cold, filled with stock characters, and marked by overly-stylized dialogue.
Most critics have agreed that Betas tries too hard to cater to its young crowd, filling its show with pithy references to buzzy tech brands like Snapchat and Grindr. "Basically, this show is packed with a Diablo Cody-level of cute pop culture references," wrote Jean Bentley in Mashable, "but most of the time it just doesn't feel natural coming from the actors' mouths." Chuck Barney of the San Jose Mercury News was similarly lukewarm. "[T]he problem with "Betas" is that it's an uneven endeavor that's just good enough to make you wish it were better," he wrote.
Critics have also complained that, for all of its hip, millennial humor, Betas relies too heavily on stale tropes. "Despite its cutting-edge cachet, nothing about "Betas" feels terribly new," wrote Neil Drumming in Salon. Mike Hale of the New York Times called the characters "common types," and Samantha Highfill of EW took exception to the often-ribald nature of the humor. "Other than Trey, who's the most interesting of the bunch…the characters are a bit extreme," she noted.
At the same time, Drumming, Hale, and Highfill all noted that there are no shortage of funny sitations, and the former two came away with a net positive experience. Brian Lowry of Variety was more effusive in his praise, writing that "Betas doesn't swing for the fences, but rather lets the humor flow from its situations."
After three episodes, there seems to be a question of who Betas is for. Its jargony dialogue and platform of choice are calling for a young audience of twentysomethings, but the broad characters may turn those viewers away. It's too early to know how exactly Betas will fare, but the message is clear: Alpha House is the safer bet.

Illuminati LEADER: his NAME REVEALED WORLDWIDE first in History by Last Prophet Matt Marriott
Illuminati LEADER: his NAME REVEALED WORLDWIDE first in History by Last Prophet Matt Marriott
End Times Paradox: the End of the Age is the prime time for firsts.
Last Prophet's words from March 20, 2013:
Name of current Illuminati LEADER: REVEALED WORLDWIDE first: EVERYBODY KNOWS HIM
Illuminati leader REVEALS himself shortly before the BIG BANG
The ILLUMINATI secret society TOTALLY controls media, politcs, justice and economy in the IV Reich.
The imminent BIG BANG: "Obama"'s detonation, Collapse of Banks (0), supervised race war, Armageddon's showdown with Russia, North Korea, ongoing loss of control of arab, african and south-american neo-colonies.
The time came for the illuminati to reveal for the first time in their History the name of their current and most probably last leader.
Accordingly to their religion's principles of "hidden in plain sight" and "endless deception", the illuminati leader revealed himself, March 20 2013, shortly before the BIG BANG.
LAST PROPHET immediately got it. But did any illuminati member get who their current leader is (1)?
Several identities with different nationalities, endless array of roles
The illuminati leader uses several identities with different nationalities, from entertainment to politics, interpreting an endless array of roles.
His most important role in politics is "he would be elected president of the USA WITHOUT having to rig the election using voting machines software, was it NOT for the fact that he plays the LOSER role in politics".
Note that this role is exactly what you you might expect from illuminati's religion principle of endless deception.
One of his identities in entertainment was used to set the milestone officially raising homosexuality to nobility.
The announcement of March 20, 2013 involves this identity and another of his identities in entertainment.
The announcement has him in two roles: one with himself and the other with a "sex-bomb", matching what the human cattle would imagine about the illuminati's supreme leader.
His official first name is [ _ _ TRICK], the identity he used the ONLY time that he played himself or "Number One", in 1995, in a role using ONLY his voice.
The illuminati announced today that he will become, within days, the first man ever to [ M _ _ _ _ ] himself.
And that that is the second role announced today.
Poster "Tom_Jackson" replies (2):
The name looks like PATRICK.
The first man to ever [M _ _ _ _ ] narrows it a bit because, by my count, there are very few five-letter words beginning with M that make grammatical sense. A few are "marry" "merge" "match" "mimic" "model" "morph". Some that make less sense are "march" and "mount".
So do we look for a dude named Patrick who marries himself?
Last Prophet replies:
Correct. Not only does he merges, matches, mimics, models and morphs but he ALSO marries himself, as announced today.
(0) The imminent BIG BANG: start with the Banks:
(1) Only members of the highest grades of the illuminati secret society know who their leader is.
Like any members of a sect, the illuminati members are not corruptible.
But once again like almost all members of a sect, most are brainwashed into robotical behaviour.
That is why they are ALSO not able to get this message passed by the very highest levels hidden in plain sight.
(2) In thread 2174185 at godlikeproductions. It was deleted March 20, 2013, minutes after another poster solved the riddle.
Illuminati Religion
We live in illuminati overtime, the last leg of Illuminati end times. At this stage the illuminati BEAST tells to the beasts that black is white and the beasts robotically repeat it.
Why endless deception is one of the goals of the Illuminati religion?
Illuminati begin by telling to the human cattle:
1. - "Hidden in plain sight" is the truth: "we TOTALLY control media, politcs, justice and economy";
2. - "black is white" and have the human cattle robotically repeat it.
The two previous messages can be reduced to "we TOTALLY control your minds". This proves the TRUTH of the illuminati religion.
Re: Illuminati LEADER: his NAME REVEALED WORLDWIDE first in History by Last Prophet Matt Marriott
Modern History's most bombastic revelation: Father's uncle of current Illuminati's LEADER is most widely known man in History, together with Buddha, Jesus & Muhammad
Re: Illuminati LEADER: his NAME REVEALED WORLDWIDE first in History by Last Prophet Matt Marriott

Putin was murdered and replaced with an imposter in 2010.
Roles of imposter impersonating Putin since 2010:

- BRICS (fake Putin, China, India, South Africa), "enemies" from Iran's Ayatollahs to Cuba and Notrh Korea and the ISIS caliphate alias the Raqqa mini-state; fake sunnis of Turkey, Saudi and Egypt gov.

"Tim Kaine": real name same as Clinton's real maiden name: HITLE
Kaine's real name same as Clinton's real maiden name: HITLER.
Kaine is a fake name created to sound like KEIN, negation in german.
His resemblance to the Illuminati Grand Master Alexander Adolf Hitler is undeniable
Hillary Cliinton is Hitler's oldest daughter and half-sister of Merkel.

Kaine wows crowds on day one as Clinton running mate
Name of current Illuminati LEADER: REVEALED WORLDWIDE first:
Alexander Adolf Hitler is the current Illuminati Grand Master.
He uses several fake identities, two of them as "english Sir" and one as "american patriot".

Re: "Tim Kaine": real name same as Clinton's real maiden name: HITLE
If Trump wins, the Illuminati is not real. Period. Simple. The Clintons are definitely in it if it truly exists
Obama's term extended or Hillary proclaimed winner before Trump inaugurated: ANSWER:
The extreme mockery BushClinton "running" for the 7th consecutive mandate (1992 to 2016), served as " Bush vs Hillary Clinton, the next head to head race":
it had to be cancelled because such "races" can't be staged when rally attendances struggle to break out of double digits.
Reminder of Last Prophet's words from Apr 2016
The day of Hillary's father anniversary: UNFOLDING EXTREME MOCKERY: Hillary votes counted 100 times each in NY
There was a time (long ago) when people knew what legit election results meant: paper ballots, votes counted at each ballot box by representatives of each party, results of each ballot box published immediately after on the same spot.
Nov 23, 2016
UNFOLDING EXTREME MOCKERY according to the script exposed worldwide only by Last Prophet
The ballot boxes closed Nov 7, weeks after they opened, an EXTREME MOCKERY of german illuminazis about US citizens reduced to beasts.
2 weeks later this extreme mockery continues, this time as "votes continue to be counted".
We are now 2.4 millon votes away from the end, 66.6, as exposed Apr 20, 2016, the day of Hillary's father anniversary and "coincidentally" a milestone in Endless Deception.
No, I don't mean Prince's "death", although the agendas of that fake death were more important than for the previous major episode of the series, David Bowie.
Obama's term extended or Hillary proclaimed winner before Trump inaugurated: ANSWER:
Hillary will be proclaimed the successor of GW Bush, the real 44th president but she will NEVER be normally inaugurated-
Reason; to avoid having around 1,000 instead of nearly 1,000,000 (as for Obama 2009) in Washington DC to attend it.
In other words: Obama and Trump will be stripped of whatever titles they have.
That leaves only two possiblities, and it all depends on Aleppo:
1. Obama's term extended
2. Trump inaugurated.
Why most probably "ISIS will attack Washington D.C" hours before the inauguration
The script "Trump backtracks on everything except for the terror and genocide agenda" (resumed to two words: Wall and Registry) started the day after he became "president-elect".
This creates an audience problem also for the inauguration of the role formerly known as "anti-establishment billionaire" and subliminally as "the king of bankruptcy".
Nov 30, 2016 - Last line's last words: illuminati revisit human cattle's "brains" with this surrealistic artwork: "Trump names king of bankruptcy to commerce secretary".
Nov 23 - While the nation's attention has already shifted to Donald Trump's moves as president-elect, his share of the total vote continues to decrease.
Hillary Clinton's popular vote lead surpassed 2 million ? or about 1.5 percent of the overall vote ? on Wednesday morning, with 64,225,863 ballots now counted in her favor,
There are still a few million ballots left to count, and they're expected to be disproportionately for Clinton.

Computing votes: Contrast Hillary 2016 with McCain 2008 and Romney 2012
McCain 2009 and Romney 2012 had their votes multiplied each time by more or less 10 times.
For Hitlery 2016 the script is reversed. No, I don't mean "Hillary wins".
The original script ALSO had Romney and McCain as winners but, unlike Hillary, only to be stripped of their titles after completing the mission of disarming the citizens.
The script was modified to have "president Obama" first time in October 2008 and again November 2012, at the very last minute, in fact "as votes were being counted".
What I do mean: this time Hitlery''s official votes won't be computed by applying a multiplier to the real votes. They are already in script: 66.6 million votes.

Grooving. funky bassline, mute and open trumpets above black voices, thin rhythm guitar.
Beautiful stuff of the young, rather unkown band Soulounge from Hamburg. If anybody knows a more grooving tune, please tell me.
You can't ask more from a cover, SS really make this Franz Ferdinand track there own complete with cheeky country guitar twangs and the ever present Elton-esq piano power chords.......recorded for Jo Whileys Live Lounge for BBC Radio 1, so you can hear it here www.melodynelson.com/music/Takemeout(LiveLounge).mp3
This song protests against our media-bombarded American culture and has fantastic vocals. Here is a little-known singer who should be famous.
I love music that can make you visualize in your mind what the song is trying to convey. This is one of those songs that always makes me feel nostalgic and wistful whenever I hear it - nostalgic not because it's a song from my childhood but because it talks about happy times gone by. When I hear it, I can picture in my mind a group of friends driving in a car through their hometown with an orange sunset in the sky. This is a song about happy memories which is something that everybody can relate to.
The instrumentals are nice too. I like how the guitar flares up at the chorus, and the steady beat of the drum, and how the singer's voice seems to echo throughout the song even after he's sung a word. This song might not seem very special, but it's amazing to listen to!
Small song. Written by E.G. from Madreoceano, very personal lyrics. Just electric guitar, voice & crystal glasses. It feels like a soundtrack of an indie.

Drhumor Building (Asheville, NC)
Drhumor Building
(click on photograph for larger image)
The Drhumor (pronounced "drummer") Building purportedly is the oldest standing commercial building in downtown Asheville. It was built in 1895 by William J. Cocke, an attorney who studied at the University of North Carolina and at Harvard. The building was named for the ancestral Irish island of Cocke's Scots-Irish grandfather and rests on the land where Mr. Cocke's childhood home and birthplace once stood. Architect Allen L. Melton designed the grand Romanesque Revival building, and Biltmore Estate English stone carver Frederic Miles was commissioned to carve the limestone frieze above the first floor exterior.

Charlie invests 30% of his training in the classroom with the remaining 70% committed to one-on-one time with each salesperson—debriefing him after phone calls, accompanying him on face-to-face appointments and debriefing him after those appointments. Concurrently, Charlie devotes 100% of his training to teach the manager how to manage and mentor his/her staff.
Charlie recommends that each partner commit its manager(s) to spend the first 30 business days after Charlie's training to intensively teach the staff to apply the "best techniques and practices" Charlie taught them. This will maximize the return on the investment you make in Charlie.
Every Sales and Service manager is strongly encouraged to participate in all of the five-day training sessions because their participation and "buy-in" is critical to ensure that they will provide all the necessary support to maximize ticket revenue and grow sales culture.
Each five-day training is based on our sport industry's "best ticket sales techniques and practices"—which Bernie Mullin defined 14 years ago when he created the internationally respected Team Marketing and Business Operations for the NBA. Charlie focuses on acquiring face-to-face visits at stadiums, arenas and offices from both outbound and inbound phone calls.
At the conclusion of his training partnership, Charlie is available by phone, email and Skype, at no additional cost, for one year to help with any issues that might occur during his partner's sales cycle.
Each training session includes the following topics with a strong emphasis on role-playing:
- Introduction to the gatekeeper — outbound
- Introduction to the prospect — outbound and inbound
- Engaging in a two-way conversation in order to connect with the prospect
- Assessing season/group potential
- Asking for the face-to-face visit at the stadium, arena or office
- Conducting an "exclusive behind the scenes" stadium/arena tour
- Conducting office meetings along with out of office face-to-face time such as golf, meals, etc.
- Reassessing season/group potential during and after the tour/face-to-face
- Presenting our ticket plans/available seat locations and or group offers
- Asking for the sale/add-on/up-sell
- Asking for referrals
- Asking for the sale/add-on/up-sell and referrals while on the initial phone call if the prospect does not want to come to the stadium/arena

About AutoScout24
AutoScout24 offers consumers; car dealers; and other partners in the automotive, finance and insurance industries a comprehensive platform for trading cars online. With more than 10 million users per month and more than 2.4 million vehicle offerings, AutoScout24 is a large online marketplace for cars in Europe.
We had a problem
Our group is responsible for new client software engagements. Previously, we used multiple tools to manage different types of product information, such as ideas, features, and release plans. This made it difficult to set a high-level strategy and to manage implementation timelines.
We also spent countless hours updating presentations so that we could share ideas and plans with customers. We needed a tool that would bring together all of our product information in one place and allow us to better collaborate.
Aha! as a solution
Aha! gives us a central platform for managing all of our client engagements. This allows us to give customers complete visibility into the status of their project. It also enables quick feedback loops. This means that we can continuously improve the product throughout the development process and deliver exactly what our customers want.
The ideas portal is transformative. It allows us to capture feedback directly from our customers. This creates a real-time dialog and helps us better understand their needs. We can then identify common patterns across our customer base and use these insights to inform our roadmap.
The ability to categorize, score, and promote ideas makes our prioritization process more transparent. We can also keep all of the information — such as requirements and comments — associated with each feature as it moves through our workflow.
Life is good
Aha! brings a new level of transparency to customer conversations and facilitates a more meaningful exchange of ideas. Now that all of our product information is one place, we can quickly create the views we need to share status and discuss feedback.
We are a cross-functional team that includes product management, project management, analysts, engineering, and sales. We have customized our workflows in Aha! to meet the needs of everyone. This allows us to work together more efficiently and effectively.

Hotels, Fashion Brands Becoming Increasingly Global; Competing with Well-Established Foreign Brands In Chinese Market
Home-grown Chinese luxury brands have been in the news a lot lately, with articles focusing on how their "Chinese flavor" is transitioning from a liability into a selling point. As Chinese consumers have opened up to global brands — and increasingly taken them for granted in some cosmopolitan centers — a space has opened up in the Chinese luxury market for domestic luxury brands. These luxury brands, which are following the lead of Hong Kong fashion brands like Shanghai Tang and designers like Swire, are starting to incorporate traditional Chinese cultural aspects into a more globalized luxury style, creating an appealing Sino-Global market segment. As these Mainland brands start to pick up steam and compete on a broader scale, eventually spreading into overseas markets, it's likely that Chinese luxury brands will develop a clout on par with their French or Italian counterparts in time.They just need to figure out their marketing and growth strategy, and need to fully get over the hump of Chinese luxury consumers often looking down at domestic brands and products.
Going along the cosmopolitan path of developers like Swire, BizChinaUpdate writes today on the Zendai Group, which is setting out to launch China's first "bona-fide luxury hotel brand." With their first luxury hotel slated to open next year in Shanghai, Zendai hopes to capitalize on the buzz surrounding 2010 World Expo and use the event as a launchpad for their brand.
As BizChinaUpdate writes,
The two Shanghai hotels that will open in close proximity in June 2010 are the Zendai Hotel Yin, a 75-room boutique hotel that will be positioned in the same pricing category as Park Hyatt, Mandarin Oriental and Peninsula; and the Zendai Art Hotel, a business-focused luxury hotel with 313 rooms and extensive MICE facilities, including a 5,000 sqm rooftop garden and terrace, that is positioning itself alongside brands such as Shangri-La and Grand Hyatt.
Developed by Zendai Group, the art-inspired hotels form part of the multi-use Himalayas Centre – which features an art museum, shopping mall and 1,600-seat auditorium – and is being touted as "an archisculptural icon for the 21st Century China."
Designed by Arata Isozaki, who styled the Barcelona Olympic Stadium and Los Angeles Museum of Art, the interior design, which blends both Chinese and Japanese design motifs, has been created by Khuan Chew, whose firm KCA created the iconic interiors of the Burj al Arab in Dubai.

I recently placed an order for some Human Nature facial care products with downtoearth.com.my. Human Nature is a company dedicated to produce 100% Natural products at a decent price! Imagine my happiness when I found this website.
My skin is going through a horrible period at the moment. My face, cuticles, hands, legs and even my EYES are all really dry at the moment. Peeling, cracking dry – for the skin of course!
My current facial wash and moisturizer have been serving me well for the past year but suddenly it just wasn't enough. So when I found out about Human Nature, I was eager to try out their products and see if au natural products could save my skin. Plus it seems SLS is one of the causes of dry eyes. =/
I placed an order just before 12pm just 2 days ago (Tuesday) and granted that they stated that it would take anything from 3-5 days for the product to ship I didn't really bothered to look out for any confirmation emails from them. To my surprise, I received a reply from them 20 minutes later confirming the shipment of my order! Talk about awesome Customer Service!
Anyways, I placed an order for 3 listings – a Santa's Samples LE Christmas pack, a Hand and Foot Salve and of course a Hydrating Facial Care Bundle for my crazy skin.
First up is the Sample Pack. For RM49.90 you get to choose 5 mini products (50ml) from 5 categories; namely shampoo, conditioner, lotion facial wash and a spray sanitizer. My choice of products are as below.
Strengthening Shampoo and Conditioner, Vanilla Healthy Lotion, Balancing Facial Wash and Citrus Burst Spray Sanitizer
They came in this cute little bag that fitted all 5 of them just nice! I haven't had a chance to use them yet but I did take a whiff of them all and they definitely smell natural. Not only is the Citrus Burst Spray Sanitizer 100% natural, it is also alcohol free! I definitely have to bust this out soon!
Next up is the Hand & Foot Salve in Eucalyptus (50g/RM17.90). Nope, I haven't had the time to even play with this product. I actually bought this for le boyfriend who has really dry feet. We'll see how this item works out in few months (if he uses it regularly that is!)
And finally, the reason why I decided to post this even though I have only had the products for 2 days, the Hydrating Facial Care Bundle (RM89.90) which consists of a facial wash, toner and day and night creams.
I was really eager to try out this new range of products so I ditched my usual routine for the night and had a go with the facial wash, toner and night cream.
The smell for the products are really not all that. In fact, they were kinda funny to me, like it was too natural too me. I am a sucker for pretty smelling beauty products #aunaturalfail Scent aside, the hydrating products really do deliver! I only used it for one night and I can already see the difference! My face is no longer dry and peeling and the spots on my face due to dryness has subsided! No kidding!
Unfortunately, I still have my previous facial care products still waiting to be used, if not I would definitely convert immediately to these products! Just give me a month or two and I'll be back with an update of how awesome these products are 🙂
P/S: To the ladies in Malaysia 'ORDER THREE, SHIP FOR FREE!'
All items in this post were purchased by me for personal use.

There are still some photos from my Korean Trip back in 2017 that I have not shared yet, and I try to put them together in this post. Hope you enjoy them.
Showing posts with label portrait. Show all posts
Korea Trip #7 - Gyeongbokgung Palace
Location: Gyeongbokgung Palace, Seoul
Gyeongbokgung is the largest palace from the Joseon dynasty, was destroyed in the war, but ever since has been reconstructed. One of the best thing to do here is to watch the guard-changing ceremony, and it's completely free. However, if you want to go inside the inner complex of the palace, then you will need to buy ticket.
Check the time for the ceremony before you visit, since they only conduct it twice a day.
Korea Trip #06 - Maze Museum, Jeju
Korea Trip #5 - Seongsan Ilchubong
Location: Seongsan Ilchubong, Jeju Island
This is a must see place if you're visiting Jeju Island. We were a bit worried because on the day, it was foggy, and you can't see the crater from afar. Fortunately, the fog subsides just before we do our climb. The climb (both up and down) can be done within a couple of hours.
Korea Trip #4 - Sangumburi Crater
Korea Trip #3 - Osulloc Tea Museum & Innisfree House
Osulloc and Innisfree are actually sister companies, and the tea museum is just beside the Innisfree Jeju House. We paid a visit to both after we finished the submarine tour.
Because we had not had our lunch, we decided to eat at the Innisfree Cafe, which specialised in healthy and natural food, created from only what could be found in Jeju. It was the case of either we were very hungry, or the foods were very delicious (I suspected both). The extra point? The foods looked so damn gorgeous.
Afterwards we took a walk in the tea garden, which is very pretty and scenic, if only we can erase all the people in the background. We took an obscene amount of photos here before we moved to the Tea Museum to buy a lot of (you guessed it) tea!
Korea Trip #2 - Soegwipo
After a good night sleep, we visited Seogwipo to join the Submarine Tour. We took a taxi from Jeju city centre to this southern part of the island. Language is a great barrier, and we had difficulties just to explain things to our taxi driver (If you couldn't drive in Korea, getting a driver who could speak english could actually make your trip easier). It was slightly frustrating, but also add certain spice to our experience.
Our taxi driver, despite the fact that we couldn't communicate well, was trying his best to understand us, and, even with this big obstacle, manage to book us the submarine tour (it involved a lot of google translate, a call to someone who can actually speak a bit of english, and a lot of guess work).
Seogwipo itself is a good place for a bit of hiking, however, as we have only limited time before the tour, we didn't have the chance to explore most of it.
Korea Trip #1 - Travelling Time
|Waiting for the flight *yawn*
We concocted the plan to visit Korea back in 2016 with an itinerary to stay in Jeju and Seoul for 4 days each, and we just came back a couple of weeks ago (thus explain the delay between the photo editing and posting time).
This trip was quite challenging in some ways. Firstly, none of us speaks Korean, and most people don't use English here. Secondly, our knowledge of the country was quite limited. We pretty much depend on literature instead of having clear objectives of what we would like to see, taste, or experience. It was somewhat unsettling for me, but the experiences taught me to go with the flow.
The first day of the holiday is always the dreaded travelling time. We decided to visit Jeju first before Seoul, as we heard that the latter is a haven for shoppers, and we definitely do not want to carry all the newly-purchased items in the second leg of the holiday. As such our first-day route was Changi - Incheon - Gimpo - Jeju.
From Incheon, getting into Gimpo is a simple manner of boarding the train to Seoul, which will make a stop at Gimpo within the hour. We put a long period between our arrival in Incheon (6 am) and our departure in Gimpo (3 pm), as we were worried that we might encounter something unplanned on the road. This was really unnecessary, and we had too much time to kill at Gimpo. At least, we took some pictures near the Gimpo Lottemart.
So for the first instalment, here are some photos that documented the dreaded first day, pictures full of bleary eyes and tired souls -__-

A Weekend in Kuala Lumpur
Even though I live just an hour flight away from Kuala Lumpur, I only visited it once before for a short getaway. The city left not much impression on me, and I didn't have any definite plan to come back to the city. However, when E had to fly to KL for a business trip and invited me to join on the weekend, I decided to do just that.
This time around, a friend of her brought us to places that we would, on our own volition, not visit, due to the distance to the city centre, and lack of knowledge of their existence. We took a half-day trip to Putrajaya and visited 2 mosques there, the Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin Mosque, and the Putra Mosque. While the former is a marvel in the modern style, the later boasts intricate design and refinery akin to the middle eastern craftsmanship.
For All The People In My Life
Kawah Putih - Bandung
Kawah Putih gives a surreal feel and looks, with all the sulphuric fog that rises up from the lake. It is slightly poisonous, and therefore you shouldn't stay longer than 15-30 minutes. Once you experienced difficulty in breathing or any discomfort, just leave the location as soon as possible.
To reach Kawah Putih, we had to travel for about 2 hours from Bandung. Avoid weekend, as you might get trapped in Bandung's notorious weekend jam due to the visitors from Jakarta. Once you reached the first gate just below the Kawah Putih area, you will be able to drive up, or park your car and get on the public transport available (at a cost). If you rent a driver in Bandung, the driver will not be keen on going to the top, as a solidarity for these public transport operators.
If you have the time, it is a must-visit place, just avoid the holiday timing as best as you could.
Dusun Bambu, Bandung
Eco and family friendly style of holiday is currently the trend in Bandung. The mountainous city has enough space, which combined with its picturesque surrounding, works well in enticing families to come by and spend the whole day in their sprawling, vast venue.
Dusun Bambu is one of them, and in one place, you would find various restaurants, families' activities, and a very laid back place to relax, rolled in one.
It's also perhaps a more palatable alternative than trying to chain various experiences that Bandung could offer, not because of the lack of it, but more due to the punishing weekend traffic that the city could suffer from.
Shirakawa-Go Under the Snow
If you want to visit Shirakawa-Go, it is better to book your bus ticket as early as possible (which would be 30 days before your travel date). We almost missed the trip because there were no available ticket from Kanazawa. Fortunately, there were still some tickets left from Takayama, and we finally were able to visit the place.
It was snowing lightly the day before, and we arrived to a spectacular view of the Gassho-zukuri under the snow. The house's roof was designed in a way that it let the heavy snow slides down naturally.

Strolling at Kanazawa
Kanazawa might not be as popular as Kyoto, Tokyo, or Osaka, and it really has different atmosphere compared to the big cities. However, if you one day put Kanazawa in your travelling list, there are several things that you might want to consider visiting.
Firstly is the Ohmi-cho Market. Just like every other market in Japan, it is crowded and filled to the brim with good food. We tasted some grilled squid here, and you can feel the freshness by the sweet taste and crunchy texture. The bountiful sea of Japan surely demonstrate its kindness here.
The next one should be the Kenroku-en garden. A cloudy and cold day might take the colour and beauty away, but if you come in spring, you are in for a treat. Once you are done with this vast and beautiful garden, you can opt to visit Kanazawa castle just beside it.
We chose not to visit the castle, but go straight south to visit the Ninja-dera temple, and Nishi Chaya district. Unfortunately, Ninja-dera temple can only so much people as everyone has to follow the compulsory guided tour, and they don't have any more slot to accommodate us. For your information, the tour is only conducted in Japanese.
Miyajima Island
The giant torii (the red gate) at Miyajima island is world-famous, and has been the island's main attraction, but we found that the island offers so much more than just the giant torii.
When we landed, we were pleasantly surprised by the welcoming committee, the deers of the island. They are curious and will try to nibble at everything, including your paper map, so keep them stashed away.
The giant torii itself was very crowded with throng of people trying to get the best picture of the scenery, and it was near impossible to get a clean shot. It was worsen by the short day-time of winter and we didn't get the best picture at this moment. Instead of staying too long near the torii, just have a stroll in the alley, where you can find a lot of local delicacies, such as the beef bun, and the momiji cake.
We spent most of our evening in this alley, before getting our dinner in a local okonomiyaki store further down in the village, which that night, only served us and another local couple. The food was great, and she cooked the okonomiyaki in front of us.
We returned in the morning for the torii, well before the first ferry arrived on the island, and we got much better view. The golden hour definitely helped the vibrancy of the colour. If we have more time, we would love to go hiking on mount Misen, but it has to wait for other opportunity in the future.

Thursday, March 26 / March 13 (Church Calendar)
~Great and Holy Lent~
Photo of the Day
The monastery's icon of Saint Seraphim of Sarav.
Saints of the Day
March 13 / 26. Translation of the Relics of St. Nicephorus, Patriarch of Constantinople. Martyr Alexander of Macedonia. Martyr Sabinus (Abibus) of Egypt. Martyrs Africanus, Publius and Terence of Carthage. Martyr Christina of Persia. St. Aninas, monk of the Euphrates. Hieromartyr Publius, Bishop of Athens.
Quote of the Day
Abba John the Dwarf said, "If a king wanted to take possession of his enemy's city, he would begin by cutting off the water and the food and so his enemies, dying of hunger, would submit to him. It is the same with the passions of the flesh; if a man goes about fasting and hungry the enemies of his soul grow weak."
The Sayings of the Desert Fathers
Scripture Readings for the Day
Isaiah 28:14-22
14 Therefore hear the word of the LORD, you scornful men,
Who rule this people who are in Jerusalem,
15 Because you have said, "We have made a covenant with death,
And with Sheol we are in agreement.
When the overflowing scourge passes through,
It will not come to us,
For we have made lies our refuge,
And under falsehood we have hidden ourselves."
A Cornerstone in Zion
16 Therefore thus says the Lord GOD:
" Behold, I lay in Zion a stone for a foundation,
A tried stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation;
Whoever believes will not act hastily.
17 Also I will make justice the measuring line,
And righteousness the plummet;
The hail will sweep away the refuge of lies,
And the waters will overflow the hiding place.
18 Your covenant with death will be annulled,
And your agreement with Sheol will not stand;
When the overflowing scourge passes through,
Then you will be trampled down by it.
19 As often as it goes out it will take you;
For morning by morning it will pass over,
And by day and by night;
It will be a terror just to understand the report."
20 For the bed is too short to stretch out on,
And the covering so narrow that one cannot wrap himself in it.
21 For the LORD will rise up as at Mount Perazim,
He will be angry as in the Valley of Gibeon—
That He may do His work, His awesome work,
And bring to pass His act, His unusual act.
22 Now therefore, do not be mockers,
Lest your bonds be made strong;
For I have heard from the Lord GOD of hosts,
A destruction determined even upon the whole earth.
Genesis 10:32-11:9
32 These were the families of the sons of Noah, according to their generations, in their nations; and from these the nations were divided on the earth after the flood.
Genesis 11
The Tower of Babel
1 Now the whole earth had one language and one speech. 2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they dwelt there. 3 Then they said to one another, "Come, let us make bricks and bake them thoroughly." They had brick for stone, and they had asphalt for mortar. 4 And they said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top is in the heavens; let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth."
5 But the LORD came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built. 6 And the LORD said, "Indeed the people are one and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do; now nothing that they propose to do will be withheld from them. 7 Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another's speech." 8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they ceased building the city. 9 Therefore its name is called Babel, because there the LORD confused the language of all the earth; and from there the LORD scattered them abroad over the face of all the earth.
Proverbs 13:20-14:6
20 He who walks with wise men will be wise,
But the companion of fools will be destroyed.
21 Evil pursues sinners,
But to the righteous, good shall be repaid.
22 A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children,
But the wealth of the sinner is stored up for the righteous.
23 Much food is in the fallow ground of the poor,
And for lack of justice there is waste.
24 He who spares his rod hates his son,
But he who loves him disciplines him promptly.
25 The righteous eats to the satisfying of his soul,
But the stomach of the wicked shall be in want.
Proverbs 14
1 The wise woman builds her house,
But the foolish pulls it down with her hands.
2 He who walks in his uprightness fears the LORD,
But he who is perverse in his ways despises Him.
3 In the mouth of a fool is a rod of pride,
But the lips of the wise will preserve them.
4 Where no oxen are, the trough is clean;
But much increase comes by the strength of an ox.
5 A faithful witness does not lie,
But a false witness will utter lies.
6 A scoffer seeks wisdom and does not find it,
But knowledge is easy to him who understands.

Resvisiting some old characters with a story that was my own attempt to cool down a bit.
Home » Posts tagged 'oy'
Tag Archives: oy
Short story: "Find your own adventure"
I actually wrote this up as a back story to a Dungeons & Dragons character I got to use about a month ago, but I think the story stands well enough on its own, a quaint little fantasy piece.
Hopefully you agree with me.
Short story snippet: "Moving Day"
Channeling my own feelings about an upcoming move into fiction. It so happens I had an appropriate event from my novel (saga?) to write out.
Flash fiction: "Cleaning"
A short thing from yesterday featuring my character Zouriel, posted now because my computer had no internet.
Short story snippet: "Detective Georgas"
Because I love to stick my novel characters into new settings (well, in this case it was my character Cassandra who wanted to be some kind of female Sherlock Holmes in early Prohibition era with a twist). I feel tickled enough by this scenario to continue it, maybe develop it into a novella. *nods*
Short story snippet: "Zouriel"
I wrote another snippet from my novel in that alternate point of view. A little shorter, but rather nice all the same. It's a better stand-alone thing I think.
Short story snippet: "From the winter mists"
Inspired by the wacky weather during my morning walk I wrote this, which is really an alternate take on a scene from my novel, from the pov of another character. It wont be used in the novel, it's just a fun exercise on alternate viewpoints and such.
