OpenCV (Open Source Computer Vision Library) is an open source computer vision and machine learning software library. OpenCV was built to provide a common infrastructure for computer vision applications and to accelerate the use of machine perception in the commercial products. Being a BSD-licensed product, OpenCV makes it easy for businesses to utilize and modify the code.
As of OpenCV 2.4.4, OpenCV supports desktop Java development using nearly the same interface as for Android development. The guide, Introduction to Java Development, will help you to create your first Java (or Scala) application using OpenCV, use Eclipse, Apache Ant or the Simple Build Tool (SBT) to build the application.

British Lawmakers Approve UK Airstrikes Against ISIL in Iraq
The British parliament voted on Friday in favor of UK airstrikes against ISIL (Islamic State) militants in Iraq as part of the international effort to curb the advance of the fundamentalist group across the Middle East.
A total of 524 lawmakers in the House of Commons voted 'yes' while only 43 were against the decision. The motion need at least 481 votes in support to be passed.
UK Prime Minister David Cameron said earlier Friday that the Islamic State group poses a serious threat to the country's national interests as well as to the global security. ……..
Britain is expected to join the United States, France and some Arab states in launching targeted strikes on the IS positions in Iraq where the radical Islamist group has already seized vast areas proclaiming a caliphate on the territories it controls, which include also parts of Syria.
A decision on UK military action in Syria is still on the table as it has to be requested by the Syrian government and approved by lawmakers in a separate vote, according to Cameron…[en.ria.ru]

We tried wet felting for the first time at StrongStart.
I took a workshop last fall and really enjoyed it.
Then I found this blog that makes it real easy to do with little children.
We made felt eggs.
Unfortunately the little containers I bought did not seal tight
so we had to wrap them in paper towel.
This little guy will show you how to make them.
Pick your felt and put it in the container
that is about half full of soapy water.
(You do not need much soap)
Put the lid on tight.
Shake, shake, shake some more.
This was the perfect time to talk about directions.
Shake it up and down, back and forth, side to side.
And then you have your egg.
At the other end of the craft table we made these little nests for our eggs.
Start with shredded wheat.
And break it into little pieces.
Add glue and mix together and shape into a ball.
We used our thumb to press an indent into the middle.
Just the right size for our egg to sit in.
I wasn't sure how this activity would go but the children and the grown ups
really enjoyed it.
It drew children in that normally didn't do crafts.
This little boy really liked making the eggs
but wasn't interested in making a nest.

To stimulate the economy, create new jobs and generate new GDP requires an injection of new money. Borrowing from the bond markets or off-balance-sheet in public/private partnerships won't do it. If Congress won't issue money directly, it should borrow from banks, which create money on their books when they make loans.
The Trump agenda, it seems, is not set in stone. The president-elect has a range of advisors with as many ideas. Steven Mnuchin, his nominee for Treasury Secretary, said in November that "we'll take a look at everything,"even the possibility of extending the maturity of the federal debt with 50-year or 100-year bonds to take advantage of unusually low interest rates.
Steve Bannon, appointed chief White House strategist, seems to be envisioning Roosevelt-style experimentation with whatever works. Continue reading

Watching Have I Got News For You
Whatever happened, it must have worked as we were in the front row at the far end, right next to Ian Hislop. It was interesting to see not just things from their view but also what doesn't make it into the show.
How To Get Free Audience Tickets
Getting tickets for this show and any popular TV show is physically easy, but it requires a great deal of luck and luck is rarely on your side. With Have I Got News For You it's quite simple - there are two ticket release dates a year, usually in March and in September. Nearer the time need to head to the Hat Trick website to find out the exact date and time tickets will be released, and then head to the website just before that time. Make sure you're already registered. When they are released, you refresh. The website will go slow and time out a few times. Tickets go within two minutes. If you're committed you can do it, but if you miss a beat you'll miss out.
Even if you don't make it, you will usually stay on a reserve list. You shouldn't get to hopeful about it. Usually if you've had the tickets, you'll get the news within two weeks. Even that doesn't guarantee you entry. As the tickets are free, guests are unreliable (who wouldn't order more than they needed?) and the show needs a full house, many more tickets are issued than sold. I believe the studio capacity is about 400. You need to be there at least two hours before doors open. Then you're in.
A similar policy can be applied to any TV show. To get tickets to be in the audience, you need to subscribe to as many production company mailing lists as possible, and respond quickly to any invitations. Other shows I've had free tickets to include Question Time, Cutting Edge and Claire Byrne Live. More often than not it won't go well; there's an art to not getting your hopes up. I've been unsuccessful for 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown, Time Warp, Saturday Night Takeaway, Would I Lie To You and QI.
Deleted Scenes
The first thing that took me by was how long it was - they started much later than advertised (around 7:30 I recall), but it went on until 10:30, even though there were very few re-takes or extras to film. The broadcast episode was fairly average, but as someone who's never seen it filmed before, the full version was excellent, even if it was fairly straight - there weren't many mistakes, and the panellists seemed to know all the answers.
Watching the show is quite surreal, as it feels like it's the usual TV show, but it's happening in front of you. The big difference is things are a bit more prompted - the host will raise subjects or ask questions to keep things moving whereas it appears to happen spontaneously in the show. This tidiness happens to the extent that even stutters are cut out the show to save time, as are awkward pauses before each video clip is displayed.
The best bits are, of course, the bits that don't make it in and probably weren't even filmed. Paul Merton in particular would keep the audience entertained between takes by making his almost-trademark overreactions and by making jokes at the director's expense. He probably does the same stuff every week, but again it's great to see it at least once. These included:
- His opening joke, about a "recent" encounter with two men digging a hole, which I was even warned to expect! (To be fair he continued it to say "I see them every week").
- Mocking Jack throughout one of the re-takes, meaning the audience were laughing all the way through, even though there weren't any jokes.
- Suggesting Jack hires a member of the audience who has "a very sincere laugh" for his DVDs.
- Making music with his cups and buzzer.
- Comparing the director to a minicab operator.
- After the compere suggested any of us could "touch a celebrity" by pretending to be a sound engineer, Paul said that's how he got on the show.
- Every time the director came on, Paul asked why they hadn't discussed the subject of Prince Andrew and the paedophile. At one point the director, speaking about something else to his colleagues, said "it's not very clear", and Paul shouted out "it's very clear to me!".
Anyway, for anyone who cares enough to have Googled it and come across this, here are the edits I still remember:
Start of show:
- There were, I think, five clips played at the start, though I've got no chance of remembering them.
Round 1:
- The clips are the wrong way round (notice the score starts at 0-2, then changes to 0-0)
- Jon Richardson believes that all Americans say "aw, shit", and he went on to complain about having fun: "if you've never had fun then you're never not having fun". Jack Dee told him to "cheer up".
- Ian Hislop asked if the lawyers were happy with what he was saying.
- Paul Merton made a joke involving a word we didn't know. He said it was a good joke, and that we should look it up when we get home, but I can't remember it. He then kept bringing it up throughout the show.
- Caroline Wyatt explained why she said what she did about the desert being sandy.
- Clips were played of newsreaders tripping up live.
- The subject of "who has Twitter" came up.
- Comments were made about Thursday being "yesterday".
- A cartoon was put up showing the leaders with blanked out speech bubbles. They went to show you what they were really saying, but they couldn't find it.
- More of the rap about the NHS was shown and discussed.
- There was a discussion about whether they could make a 'Gaddaffi Duck' joke, and a bit of Daffy Duck nostalgia, with audience shout-outs.
- Libya were said to be defending themselves with "40 armed virgins", to which Paul Merton did an impression of a 40-armed virgin (well I thought it was clever!)
- There was more discussion of the turd sandwich.
- Ian's quip "somebody is defending the Lib Dems" was aimed at Jon Richardson, but his line was cut-off. Jon then balanced it out by criticising them.
- The round ended with Jack announcing the scores.
"The Strengthometer of News":
- A whole bit on the boats on the Thames was never used (though it was so good I can't remember what it was about).
- The fourth picture was never used, but during the show they said "that's enough".
- The badger was said to look like he's advertising a sex line.
- A list of the crimes blamed on the badgers was given.
- The Michael Jackson statue was compared to Ted Bates of Southampton.
- The badgers were compared to Fulham supporters.
- The round ended with Jack announcing the scores (they even filmed this twice, and we were in it once)
Odd-one-Out Round:
- There was a whole mini-quiz on houses that look like celebrities.
- There were two more cats that look like Hitler. Ian asked which "quality newspaper" these were taken from.
- Paul continued his song "Hitler has only got one hall", although even he admitted it was weak.
- Jack Dee tried three times to read out a joke about Wayne Rooney, by which time no-one laughed but there were a few cheers.
- The round ended with Jack announcing the scores, but getting them wrong (his display was broken), with Paul giving a puzzled look.
Missing Words:
There were loads of these - about 10 for each side, but you can't expect me to remember them.
End of show:
- The clip of Jack reading out the scores was added in at the end - the first time he did it, he got the score wrong again. Once you know this, you can tell by the way Jack says it and Paul's reaction that they are both taking the mick a bit.
- Ian went on to compare the scoring system to the Alternative Vote.
- Two caption competitions were edited out, though they weren't exceptionally funny.
- When Jack thanked the panellists, only a few people clapped, so Paul told us to "remember we got in for free".
- Again, there were a few more finishing picture gags.

New Path
New Path - oil/panel - sold
Yesterday was the varnishing day at the Royal Hibernian Academy.
Artists, collectors and friends of the RHA were invited along to celebrate prize giving and a preview of the launch of the 182nd annual exhibition.
To see my art work hanging there is a real privilege and honour for me. We were told by the Academy President that there were over 3000 submissions by artists and only 300 artists works taken. Only 10% of all entries gained a place!
The Academy artists are allocated about 3 pieces each (or more in some cases) which takes up a large percentage of the gallery rooms, then there are also invited artists. They also get quite a bit of room to show work. I had a thought that it could be beneficial if they had a show for open submissions and a separate annual show for the full and part time members of the academy!
Anyway, I feel this marks a new place on my path as an artist and am now just reeling, rearing and ready to work towards the chance to expand and develop myself, my practice and my vision further.

Fanore, in pictorial relief
Fanore - oil/panel - sold
In this quick sketch I was interested in capturing the space created by the interplay of simple overlapping forms. Also, the light and diffused colour presented me with the chance to experiment with edges and minimal thin washes of colour to create a vast illusion of space on this small panel.
For purchase information please email, email@example.com

Expression and Vincent Van Gogh
An Expression, Fanore Beach -oil/panel - sold
His paintings seem effortless with an almost child like touch, but are in fact complex, passionate, expressive and the record of intense study as well as feeling.
He communicated such powerful feelings through line and his brush, by bringing his own expressive vision to a scene, rather then faithfully copying or creating what was in front of his easel or in a photo.
His paintings have all the measures of what makes a wonderful and enduring piece of Art. Their sometimes edginess, boldness, delicacy and precariousness coupled with radiating light energy and feeling.
Thank you Vincent. You were here, you were true and you free my spirit!
For purchase information, please email firstname.lastname@example.com
A detail from 'An Expression on Fanore Beach'. -sold

Along the Road
Along the Road, Khyber Pass, Fanore, County Clare -oil/panel - sold
'If Painters, gazing upon nature, could only look forth with the simplicity of a new-born child, which opens its eyes for the first time on a fresh and virgin world, the principal problem of art would be solved in an instant'.

Under the Bridge
Under the Bridge - oil/panel - sold
In this sketch I revisited a place I stood before just outside Ballyvaughan village in the heart of the Burren landscape in County Clare. The tide had been out for sometime and the inlet was dry. A great place of grazing for the local donkeys, swans and smaller birds.
These sketches in oil are true and fluid records of my own 'impressions'.
I often think of Winslow Homer - the things he said in his work were so vital, the vision so clear-cut and although the paint is simlpy flung at the canvas, it does not matter. 'The mood has been rendered-the message has carried, and we do not stop to consider the phraseology'.
For purchase information please email, firstname.lastname@example.com

In Memory of Liam Ayudhkij O'Keefe
Yesterday I celebrated the life of a wonderful friend of mine with his closest family and colleagues in Ireland.
Liam Ayudhkij O'Keefe was an Irish born man who at the age of 18 left Ireland for Thailand where he remained for the rest of his life.
In Thailand under Liam's directorship he grew a company from a team of 5 staff to its present size of more than 23,000 employees!
Liam also dedicated a very large part of his time and energies to a mind blowing range of charities and worthwhile causes, including setting up the Junior Dublin Literary Award, the Thailand Business Coalition on Aids, in which Liam was the Founding Chairman. The Siriwattana Cheshire Home for the Disabled of whom Liam was a Director, The Medical Scholarship Foundation under the patronage of HRH Princess Galyani and the PCS foundation which was founded by Liam in the aftermath of the 2004 tsunami with the mission to deliver help and immediate directly to those who were in most need.
In addition, Liam was a founder and highly active member of the Irish Chamber of Commerce in Bangkok,
here he worked to straighten ties between Thailand and Ireland, and as such received multiple international business achievement awards. In fact, I know that our former president Mary McAleese honoured Liam by attending the launch of the Chamber in Thailand and that subsequently Liam was asked over to Ireland to talk to and advise our government officials at the recent Farmleigh meetings.
Liam was a famed art and antiques collector and he first came across my work in 2006. Over the years of collecting and investing in art he built one of Thailand's premier art collections of which I am honoured and humbled to be a part of.
Yesterday I was informed that after the famous Irish artist Patrick Scott, who is a contemporary of the late Louis Le Brocquy, Liam had more of my paintings in his collection than any other Irish artist!
Liam was a most supportive, encouraging and loving patron of my art work. He showed me such enthusiasm in regard to what I was doing and encouraged my development continually.
I miss you Liam. Your wonderful friendship, the regular emails and get togethers we would have in Ireland and Thailand. Until we meet again.
Love Always,
Richard x

When I first began my interest in investing I started with what is considered the bible to value investors: Security Analysis by Benjamin Graham. To be honest, I couldn't and still haven't finished the book as I found it very dry and uninteresting. Thankfully, there is a whole universe of investing books out there, and I list a number of books I found useful in my investing education.
Am I being too subtle – Sam Zell
Sam Zell is a self-made billionaire, who earned his fortune primarily via real estate. His blunt, spare and contrarian style makes for a refreshing read; the title is a question he often asks himself which reflects his personality. The book is filled with business wisdom, covering a wide range of time eras, industries, personalities, successes and failures. Themes covered comprehensively are real estate investment, controlling risk and value investing.
Dead companies walking – Scott Fearon
This book is mandatory reading for our investment team. Written by an investment manager it focuses primarily on why, when and how companies fail. By learning the warning signs, and avoiding an investment in a company which may fail; readers learn a great deal about becoming a much better investor. Chock full of practical advice and wisdom, major themes include the psychology of investing, the role of cognitive bias in business and the importance of time horizons.
King Icahn – Mark Stevens
This book provides an insight into the personality, mindset and business philosophy of Carl Icahn, one of the greatest investors of our era. It covers the early part of his career comprehensively, and provides a great overview of 1980's corporate America from the perspective of a corporate raider or activist. In particular, the book articulates how much value can often be overlooked by passive shareholders and how it can be released by a well motivated and funded activist.
Metal Men – Craig Copetas
An intriguing book about the hard and fast world of commodity trading; and the ascent of Marc Rich who founded the world's largest commodity trading company today, Glencore. The physical mechanics of commodity trading are fascinating; encompassing a multitude of different aspects such as financial, geo-political and logistical. Major themes broached are the mechanics of physical commodity trading, risk management and the effects of the geo-political environment on trade flows and commodity prices.
100 Baggers – Chris Mayer
This book examines the investor's holy grail of the 100 bagger or making 100 times your money invested on a stock; it is an update on a book on the same subject written in the 1970's. The beauty in this book is the breadth of the content, as the author examines a multitude of historical examples and the various elements that led to their 100 bagger status. We learn very quickly there is no 'magic bullet' for obtaining outsized returns, but there are a number of factors that can increase our probability of investing in one of these companies. Major themes are the impact of compounding returns over longer time frames, evaluating the quality of a company and how to maintain a long term perspective on your investments.
The Most Important Thing – Howard Marks
Howard Marks is an investor well known for co-founding Oaktree Capital, a value orientated asset manager. This book is effectively a compilation of writings on various aspects of investing from the perspective of a value investor. Whilst a little repetitive, it hammers home a number of factors that any serious investor should consider when making any investment. Major themes are the thought process behind investing 'defensively', understanding and managing risk and expectations.
Margin of Safety – Seth Klarman
Written by Seth Klarman, a highly respected investment manager, this is one of the most sought after investment books. The book is divided into 3 sections encompassing: where and how investors typically make mistakes, an overview of a value investing philosophy primarily focused on risk mitigation and finally a number of case studies and discussion on portfolio management. This book has a lot of value for anyone regardless of your investment experience or methodology.
My own story – Bernard Baruch
The author was a well-known financier in the early 20th century before becoming a statesman. This is a classic account of the economic change in the US as experienced through the lens of a successful stock market investor. Baruch's humility and wisdom shine through this book, which is filled with many practical examples and lessons on life and the markets amplified by his obvious gift for story telling. In particular, I found his lessons and recounting of periods of desperate economic times to be enlightening.
Education of a Speculator – Victor Niederhoffer
This is a wild account of the author's life and investment principles. This is a difficult read, it is clear the author is brilliant but also deeply flawed. There are many valuable nuggets to be extracted by a patient reader, such as the necessity to perform your own analysis of opportunities regardless of the 'commonly held' or market knowledge. Major themes include the necessity of risk management, probabilistic investing and embracing randomness. The author's honesty and candidness is refreshing throughout, although a lot of biographical elements can be skipped over.
What works on Wall Street – James O'Shaughnessy
This book is effectively a statistical study of the historical returns achieved by various investing strategies. The real value in this book is educating the reader on various methods or factors which may contribute to an investment return; which provides a lot of food for thought for the reader in formulating their own investment methodologies.
The investment checklist – Michael Shearn
This book focuses on evaluating a company using fundamentals. This is quite a dense book and covers a lot of ground; I particularly found the author's focus on management useful which is often overlooked in investment books. In addition, the emphasis on utilising investment checklists in the decision-making process I think is especially important to ensure consistency in the investment process.
The Art of Speculation – Phillip Carret
Phillip Carret ran one of the first investment funds in the US, the Pioneer Fund, for 55 years starting from 1928. He was idolised by a young Warren Buffet and had a great long term record over a long time period. The book covers a lot of ground: market cycles, technical vs fundamental factors and security analysis to mention a few topics. Even though the examples are now dated, the concepts are all sound and still very relevant to today's markets.

Eisbär has made a name for itself. And it is worn by big names. Not only in the skiing world, but also wherever the scene matters. Because they go with everything. They match your outfit. They match the occasion. And they suit your style and your mood.
This is not just down to good luck, but has many good reasons. Fit, functionality, workmanship and materials are all top quality. As is the look. Conspicuously different. And conspicuously attractive. A real eye catcher. Whatever the model. It is the combination of functionality and fun, looking good and feeling good that the Eisbär is about. Which is why the professionals from ÖSV, ÖOC and Eisbär are a team. And it is also why all over the world, Eisbär has friends that are more than friends. More like fellows. Who will go through thick and thin - once an Eisbär, always an Eisbär.
Eisbär has been shaping winter sports for more than 60 years. Making not only the ski slopes but life in general more colourful. Which is why we thought it was about time we added some more fashion articles. Naturally, our ski hats will always be our heroes, the 'bear's share' of the Eisbär Sport collection - plus our jackets, sweaters, and scarves, from sporty to casual. All as well-conceived and of as high a quality as our ski hats.
In this way, the future is set to bring even more Eisbär into our lives: the fashion to go with the hat. For going out, turning things up, and winding things down. Whatever you feel like doing, Eisbär will go with you. Which is how it should be with real friends.
Born in the 1950s, a medal winner with the Austrian national ski team, and now a must have on the slopes and in the streets: Eisbär celebrates the global triumph of its unique collection with over half a million hats, vests and pullovers sold every year.

|Top Online Data Backup Rankings
WOBURN, MA – November 30, 2015 — /BackupReview.info/ — According to a joint survey conducted by Kaspersky Lab and B2B International, over 30 percent of companies use mobile devices to access corporate bank accounts and conduct financial transactions. The survey also found that business representatives were increasingly making financial transactions with the help of mobile devices. In particular, 28 percent of small and medium companies and 34 percent of enterprises conducted financial transactions via mobile devices. In addition, financial departments (63 percent), managers (54 percent) and even employees (8 percent) freely make corporate financial transactions via mobile apps. This growing use of mobile devices for corporate banking could put company funds at risk, as mobile cyberthreats have become more widespread in recent years.
Hackers are increasingly targeting mobile platforms. In the third quarter of 2015, Kaspersky Lab products for mobile devices detected more than 300,000 new malicious programs. Of these threats, the highest growth rates were demonstrated by a Trojan-Banker designed to steal credentials to Internet banking and e-payment systems, as well as credit or debit card data. The share of this type of malware increased from 0.6 percent (630 programs) in the second quarter to 1.5 percent (2,500 programs) in the third quarter.
"The trend shows a continual increase in mobile banking usage by corporate banking clients. This trend is certain to continue as corporate and consumer banking clients alike migrate to the convenience of mobile banking. This creates an operational imperative for banks to very carefully consider the security and fraud prevention approaches they need to take in order to adequately ensure secure mobile banking applications, protect confidential customer data, and guard high-value corporate customer transactions. All users of mobile banking services, corporate and consumer, must also be vigilant about their own security and behavior while also questioning their bank about the measures taken to ensure their safety," said Ross Hogan, Global Head of the Fraud Prevention Division at Kaspersky Lab.
Kaspersky Lab's portfolio offers a wide-range of solutions to ensure reliable multi-layered protection of the corporate IT infrastructure, including Kaspersky Security for Mobile. For the banking sector, Kaspersky Lab offers Kaspersky Fraud Prevention SDK – a set of tools that can be used to create and configure safe mobile applications that meet information security requirements.

A budget analyst examines an organization or entity's cash inflows and outflows, along with other raw financial data, then condenses and summarizes that data. This data analysis is used to identify areas in which capital could be deployed more effectively and make recommendations to management personnel who make the final decisions regarding the budget and strategic deployment of the entity's capital. If you have any reservations about spending your days working with numbers, you may want to consider a different profession.
How Much Schooling Will I Need?
At a minimum, you will need a bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university. You may also want to consider getting a master's degree in a field such as accounting, finance or business administration to increase the depth and breadth of your analytical skills.
Resource: 50 Best Accounting Schools in the USA 2016
What Do I Need to Study in School?
You do not need to choose a specific undergraduate major to begin your career. Although some background in accounting, finance, economics and business administration may be helpful, they certainly are not requisite. Regardless of your major, you will want to take classes in microeconomics, macroeconomics, corporate finance, financial accounting, cost accounting, marketing, statistics and probability for business, econometrics, organizational theory and management, individual federal income taxation, corporate and partnership taxation, nonprofit management, international economics, business law and financial markets, among others, to build a solid academic foundation for your professional life.
Where Can I Work?
Pretty much anywhere. Yes, really. Any entity that makes or spends money needs to allocate its funds, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution for doing so. Whether you want to work at a financial services firm; in the nonprofit sector; at a local, state or federal government agency; or in a healthcare organization, job opportunities will be available for you.
How Do I Get a Job?
If you want your pick of jobs or employers, above all else you will need superlative grades. Many elite employers—including, for example, the top management consulting firms and the Big 4 accounting firms in the biggest markets—only interview job candidates with GPAs of 3.5 or better. This means you will need to stay highly focused on your schoolwork throughout your degree program. Aside from having an impeccable transcript, the best way to set yourself apart from other applicants is to have developed a professional network of people who can direct you to jobs or employers they believe may interest you, and who will likely provide excellent references. Find people who already have the type of job you would eventually like to have, reach out to them and ask if they would be willing to talk to you about their careers. They will probably say yes, and will be impressed that you sought them out.
Businesses and other organizational entities are making and spending more money than ever before, and they need direction about how they can best do both. If you are an intellectually curious person who values job security and enjoys working with numbers, a career as a budget analyst may be right for you.

Ends, Means, and Slavery February 17, 2013Posted by Sobek in News.
Tags: politics
19 comments
I've probably watched this video about five thousand times in the last couple weeks, and I'm ready to watch it that many times more. Ear worm warning:
Fun fact: that video was shot entirely on location at The Hostages.
Mrs. Sobek and I just watched Lincoln. I thought it was great, and the casting for Secretaries Seward and Stanton was brilliant, if you know what those guys looked like. Mrs. Sobek liked it too, but there was something about it that bugged her – the same thing that bugged her about the movie Amazing Grace, which I also recommend. Specifically, both movies involve idealistic men with the laudable goal of ending slavery, using legal means to do so – and also a fair bit of skullduggery. I agree with that assessment; the more I think about it, the more convinced I am that Lincoln had no constitutional authority to issue the Emancipation Proclamation. The Missus and I both like the ends, but there's something highly unseemly about the means.
Why should we care about process, though? If everyone agrees slavery died a long overdue death over a century ago (longer, in the case of England), who cares about process (or, in the case of Lincoln, a little corruption and arguable perjury)?
Because I hate it when the Left pulls that crap against me. Who cares if ObamaCare was passed in the dead of night, using laughably illegal "reconciliation," without letting anyone actually read the damn thing, using some odd combination of the tax power when it's a tax and the Commerce Clause when it's not a tax, if the end (getting everyone the health care they need) is a worthy goal? (We're pretending here that (a) that really was the goal, and (b) the bill will actually do that.) Who cares if the President violated the war clauses by attacking Libya, if Ghadaffi was a bad man (never mind Leftist inconsistency when you mention Saddam Hussein or the Taliban, or the fact that Bush did have Congressional authorization)? Who cares if Harry Reid has broken federal law every year he failed to pass a budget, so long as the checks keep rolling out?
I care, for one. Partly because I hate all that crap, and partly because Obama and his cronies are making a mockery of the Constitution they swore an oath to uphold and defend.
So how to evaluate Lincoln, who was a great man, a noble man of vision, who achieved a noble goal through illegitimate ends?
My answer to Mrs. Sobek was that I can admire the man while acknowledging his faults. That might sound a little obvious, but it's something I've only been able to arrive at gradually. The more history I read, the more I learn about the "great" men of history, the more I've had to just accept the fact that great men can have some very prominent flaws. I read a biography of Thomas Jefferson where the author talked about historians wrestling with the question of how the man who wrote the Declaration of Independence could own slaves. My answer is, what's the problem? The man can live inspired moments of greatness, and also have the character flaw of massive hypocrisy. I read a bio of Andrew Jackson and couldn't help but admire the man, and that without ignoring or explaining away his utterly horrific treatment of the Indians. Martin Luther King may have been a great man, but he was also an unrepentant plagiarist, unworthy of the title "Dr." by any measure. I can admire Benjamin Franklin without overlooking his philandering, or appreciate Jim Morrison's music without worrying about the fact that he was cooler than I will ever be.
But wasn't Lincoln's skullduggery worth it to get the Thirteenth Amendment passed?
I won't say yes until someone can persuade me that, but for Lincoln's lawlessness, the Thirteenth Amendment could not have passed.

As winter arrives, as a homeowner, you're going to want to make sure that your home is prepared to withstand the cold temperatures, increased precipitation, and high winds. It is important to take the time in the fall to make sure your home is ready for winter. Here are our top five winter home maintenance tips to focus on:
Check your Fireplace
If you have a wood burning fireplace, it is important to give your chimney a once over before you use it for the season. Dirty chimneys can emit creosote, a dangerous residue that can cause fires. Creosote is black or brown in appearance and can be crusty and flaky. The residue is highly combustible and can cause chimney fires that will damage structures, destroy homes, and even injure or kill people.
For the safety of your family and home, it is important to hire a chimney sweeper to inspect and clean it before each season.
Clean out your gutters
Clogged rain gutters can cause serious damage to your homes, leading to expensive repairs. After the leaves have fallen, clean your gutters to remove any debris that has found their way into your gutters. If gutters become clogged, ice dams can form in the winter, and all of that added weight can cause sagging gutters, and water damage.
After you clean your gutters, consider installing a gutter guard system. Look for a micromesh filter, like LeafFilter, so there will be no holes, gaps, or openings to allow any debris into your gutters. Gutter guards are helpful because they eliminate gutter cleaning and any potential problems that are associated with clogged gutters.
Check your Roof
Before the first snowfall, you are going to want to make sure that your roof is in the best working order. When using a ladder, remember to use the "rule of threes" and have contact with both feet and at least one hand. If you are weary of ladders, use binoculars to inspect your roof from the ground.
Scope out buckled, cracked, or missing shingles, rust spots, and flashing. If you see any problems, be sure to contact a roofer to repair and replace any areas of concern. This will keep your home safe from any type of water issues that could occur otherwise.
Seal Gaps
Take a close look at the exterior of your home and inspect for any gaps or openings. Then, use caulk and weather stripping to seal any places of concern. Think about places that cold air might enter the home: door frames, windows, and cable openings. You may think that your home is exempt from this step just because it is new, however, newer homers need caulking too. Taking the time to complete this task will help lower your energy bill during the cold winter months.
Check the Batteries
The change in seasons is always a good reminder to test all smoke and carbon detectors to keep your home and family safe. Even if you think your batteries are still good, it is a good idea to just change them anyways – there is nothing worse than waking up to an annoying detector!
It's also good to remember that a detector only lasts about 7 years, so consider replacing yours if you think they are past their expiration date.

Immunos 3.6.0 Crack + Activator Updated
Scan hard drives or specific directories for infected files and keep your virus database up-to-date by using this intuitive antivirus solution
Download Immunos + Keygen Serial Crack
Sometimes, you can encounter infected files, whether from the Internet or various discs borrowed from friends. Immunos is a useful application that was developed to help you protect your computer from this type of threats.
The app has a compact interface, with an intuitive layout that should be easy to figure out.
The program can perform scans in user-defined areas, such as individual folders or entire partitions. The process doesn't last long, but the time required for the job depends on the size of the files. A summary is displayed after the scan is complete. This includes the number of known viruses, scanned directories and files.
Immunos can perform several actions when it finds infected files. The default settings can be defined from the "Config" tab on the interface. The app gives you the opportunity to only show the items, to remove or move them to a user-defined folder.
In order to always be protected against viruses, you must keep the program up to date (up-to-date). If you don't want to bother doing the update manually, Immunos can be set to do it automatically once every few days.
A known problem with antivirus programs is that they slow down the system considerably, especially during scans. This issue doesn't apply to this software, which is extremely light on the computer's resources.
The bottom line is that Immunos is a nice app that can come in handy on a day-to-day basis. Inexperienced users should find this software extremely easy to work with, thanks to its intuitive layout and overall simplicity.
Developer: Immunosn/a n/a
Supported OS: Windows 10 64 bit, Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7 64 bit, Windows 7, Windows Vista 64 bit, Windows Vista, Windows XPWhat's new

text: Host an Exhibit by TAE | Jan 22, 2018 Like to host a #TwitterArtExhibit? We receive many inquiries from people wanting to host a Twitter Art Exhibit in their area. It can be an exciting and rewarding experience, but not without its challenges. So you can make an informed decision as to whether or not you can commit to organizing a #TwitterArtExhibit in your city, here's an idea of what's involved: THE THREE COMPONENTS OF A SUCCESSFUL TWITTER ART EXHIBIT First, of course, there's the TAE organization, which offers support at a distance with press releases, general logistics, PR, etc. The TAE organization is supported by a group of Board members, who help spread the word on social media and various blogs. Second, you need a local organizer (or team of organizers) where the exhibition will take place. This person is preferably an artist or a curator who has participated in a previous TAE (or is familiar with the concept), someone who is connected within the arts community and has the resources (and the free time) to put a major exhibition together and promote it. Third, you need a charity/nonprofit at your local level, which could benefit from our fundraising. We are open to many different types of charities, but you have to keep the TAE community in mind, and what they might be interested in supporting. It's usually preferable to choose a smaller organization that doesn't already do a lot of fundraising on its own, as opposed to a large one with a lot of overhead. If you are a charity without an organizer (or an organizer without a charity), please keep in mind that TAE does not have the capacity to connect you with resources at your local level. An organizer and a charity must come together locally, then bring us a "packaged" proposal, outlining how they will host their #TwitterArtExhibit. BENEFITS OF HOSTING It takes a very organized individual to run this, and it's a big commitment. It's very rewarding though; you meet a lot of new people – other artists, collectors, fans, gallerists, nonprofits – and it does come with a level of recognition and respect from the community. It's also a very positive entry on a resume, especially if you are a curator, or an artist interested in curating and/or supporting artist-led curatorial initiatives. LOCAL ORGANIZER'S RESPONSIBILITIES Since the TAE board can only assist at a distance, the local organizer is crucial and must be extremely diligent: It's the organizer's job to find a suitable charity and verify that they are a legal nonprofit entity in their country (must have financial records available online, proper website, etc.) The organizer also has to find a gallery or suitable exhibition space willing to host the show without taking a percentage of artwork sales. The organizer needs to set out agreements with the nonprofit and the exhibition space to define the terms of participation, and to make sure everyone knows what they are expected to do. We encourage the organizers to work as closely as possible with both the nonprofit and the gallery and get everyone on board with the social media aspect of #TwitterArtExhibit. Everyone should benefit from increased exposure, and cross-pollination of audiences. Time involved Planning and hosting a Twitter Art Exhibit might take the better part of 6 months from start to finish, so the local organizer has to be someone who is self-employed, or has a flexible schedule. For example, the Call for Artists in Los Angeles was issued at the beginning of October, and the show was held in March. Incoming submissions started arriving within a few weeks of the Call for Artists, and kept coming in until a few weeks after the opening. Putting on a good show As an organizer, keep in mind that artists are donating their work freely, and it all goes to a good cause. You therefore have a responsibility to host a professional exhibition for them that will be well-attended, in a space suited to that purpose. PRACTICAL STUFF Financial Twitter Art Exhibit is 100% volunteer-based (nobody gets paid except the charity). The charity is responsible for handling the funds from the sale. The best way to do this is for the charity itself to process sales on opening night and beyond. Any costs of running the exhibition (food and beverage, installation materials, printed invitations, etc.) must be covered by sponsors or donations specifically for that purpose (must not come from art sales). Exhibition Space Some galleries may not want to host the show, because it can be expensive for them to let you have the space without getting a cut of artwork sales. However for some, the PR potential alone is incentive enough to get involved. If you cannot secure a gallery, a suitable alternative space is fine, as long as the location is accessible, and that it has wall space and lighting appropriate for an exhibition. For example, a public library, a community center, an event location, an empty storefront, or an underground warehouse might work, however you may have to build exhibition stands or temporary walls, and bring your own lighting. Finding a space where this is already provided will make your life much easier. It goes without saying that participating artists may have different reasons to get involved: some just like the concept of TAE and want to help the charity, some are doing it for the exhibition opportunities, or to meet new collectors and have a chance to exhibit in previously untapped markets. Whatever the reason (and they are all valid), artist participation is likely to be stronger if the show is held in a good, suitable location or known gallery (as opposed to, let's say… Bob's apartment). Building your team and workflow You can't possibly do this alone. You will need a lead organizer (or organizing team), assisted by volunteers. The size of your team is up to you, however the to-do list is long: receiving and opening submissions, scanning each piece, inputting artist information into a database (for gallery labels), posting each image on Tumblr/Twitter/Facebook with the artists' Twitter handles, devising a system for exhibiting a large number of cards in a small space, and keeping track of the location of each artwork, etc. Then there is the promotion, PR, responding to hundreds of incoming e-mails and tweets, talking to the press, meeting with the gallery and the charity, designing promotional materials, prep, installation, lighting, managing staff and sales on opening night, designing the website to allow people to purchase cards after the opening (this is optional), shipping the sold artwork, etc., etc. We can't possibly list everything here, but… you get the drift. It's up to the organizer to devise a system that works for them, however the TAE board can offer coaching and share information on what has worked in the past. Branding There is of course flexibility to accommodate modifications to the exhibition at your local level and adjust things as you go. But there is also a certain level of "branding" to maintain, meaning you have to stay within the philosophy of Twitter Art Exhibit; the process has to have continuity and consistency from previous exhibitions, and has to follow the same rules. Frequency #TwitterArtExhibit is such hard work, and involves so many people and so many moving parts that hosting it more than once per year would be completely unrealistic. For this reason, we may have several years booked in advance, so if you're thinking of hosting, please contact us as soon as possible. Our artists donate of their work generously, and we have no intention of asking for more than one postcard-sized artwork donation per artist per year. Also, oversaturation doesn't benefit anyone involved. We'd rather you love us and keep participating, than get tired of the concept and as a result, the charities suffer. Location Our goal is to have the exhibition travel to a new country each year. We are however flexible; those who can successfully host a TAE are few and far between, and we will evaluate the rotation of locations based on the proposals we receive. Keep in mind, our #1 goal is to raise funds for a charity. For this reason, it's best to hold Twitter Art Exhibits in cities that have a demonstrated art scene, and significant art-going audiences. ARE YOU READY TO REACH OUT TO US? Here's what we'll need in your proposal: 1) Who the organizer (or organizing team) is, and what his/her/their qualifications are 2) What the charity is all about, as well as proof of its nonprofit status, and links to publicly available financial records 3) What gallery and/or space will host the show, and details on how the organizer proposes to install the exhibition, the plan for opening night, how long the show will run, how sales will be conducted, how the charity will collect the funds, who pays for refreshments (do you have any sponsors?), etc. 4) How the exhibition will be promoted locally (we provide social media and PR support, press releases, etc.) 5) Anything else you feel is relevant, such as the benefits of bringing TAE to your particular location 6) Do you foresee any problems in your country with infrastructure, such as the reliability of the postal service, or the ability to process and collect payments, unstable currency, restricted access to technology, etc? We have to ask, as we sometimes receive inquiries from parts of the world where these issues make this kind of exhibition untenable. The TAE board will review your proposal, ask questions, research all parties involved, and discuss the feasibility of your project before making its decision. Please see the TAE Hosting Timeline for detailed information. Should you want to contact us about your proposal, please e-mail us at email@example.com Best, The Twitter Art Exhibit board: David Sandum, Cat Salter-Smith, Isha Setia and Martin Sebek.

MereChristianity: Book III. Christian Behaviour 5. Sexual Morality -C.S.Lewis
5. Sexual Morality
We must now consider Christian morality as regards sex, what Christians
call the virtue of chastity. The Christian rule of chastity must not be
confused with the social rule of "modesty" (in one sense of that word); i.e.
propriety, or decency. The social rule of propriety lays down how much of
the human body should be displayed and what subjects can be referred to, and
in what words, according to the customs of a given social circle. Thus,
while the rule of chastity is the same for all Christians at all times, the
rule of propriety changes. A girl in the Pacific islands wearing hardly any
clothes and a Victorian lady completely covered in clothes might both be
equally "modest," proper, or decent, according to the standards of their own
societies: and both, for all we could tell by their dress, might be equally
chaste (or equally unchaste). Some of the language which chaste women used
in Shakespeare's time would have been used in the nineteenth century only by
a woman completely abandoned. When people break the rule of propriety
current in their own time and place, if they do so in order to excite lust
in themselves or others, then they are offending against chastity. But if
they break it through ignorance or carelessness they are guilty only of bad
When, as often happens, they break it defiantly in order to shock
or embarrass others, they are not necessarily being unchaste, but they are
being uncharitable: for it is uncharitable to take pleasure in making other
people uncomfortable. I do not think that a very strict or fussy standard of
propriety is any proof of chastity or any help to it, and I therefore regard
the great relaxation and simplifying of the rule which has taken place in my
own lifetime as a good thing. At its present stage, however, it has this
inconvenience, that people of different ages and different types do not all
acknowledge the same standard, and we hardly know where we are. While this
confusion lasts I think that old, or old-fashioned, people should be very
careful not to assume that young or "emancipated" people are corrupt
whenever they are (by the old standard) improper; and, in return, that young
people should not call their elders prudes or puritans because they do not
easily adopt the new standard. A real desire to believe all the good you can
of others and to make others as comfortable as you can will solve most of
the problems.
Chastity is the most unpopular of the Christian virtues. There is no
getting away from it: the old Christian rule is, "Either marriage, with
complete faithfulness to your partner, or else total abstinence." Now this
is so difficult and so contrary to our instincts, that obviously either
Christianity is wrong or our sexual instinct, as it now is, has gone wrong.
One or the other. Of course, being a Christian, I think it is the instinct
which has gone wrong.
But I have other reasons for thinking so. The biological purpose of sex
is children, just as the biological purpose of eating is to repair the body.
Now if we eat whenever we feel inclined and just as much as we want, it is
quite true that most of us will eat too much: but not terrifically too much.
One man may eat enough for two, but he does not eat enough for ten. The
appetite goes a little beyond its biological purpose, but not enormously.
But if a healthy young man indulged his sexual appetite whenever he felt
inclined, and if each act produced a baby, then in ten years he might easily
populate a small village. This appetite is in ludicrous and preposterous
excess of its function.
Or take it another way. You can get a large audience together for a
strip-tease act-that is, to watch a girl undress on the stage. Now suppose
you came to a country where you could fill a theatre by simply bringing a
covered plate on to the stage and then slowly lifting the cover so as to let
every one see, just before the lights went out, that it contained a mutton
chop or a bit of bacon, would you not think that in that country something
had gone wrong with the appetite for food? And would not anyone who had
grown up in a different world think there was something equally queer about
the state of the sex instinct among us?
One critic said that if he found a country in which such striptease
acts with food were popular, he would conclude that the people of that
country were starving. He meant, of course, to imply that such things as the
strip-tease act resulted not from sexual corruption but from sexual
starvation. I agree with him that if, in some strange land, we found that
similar acts with mutton chops were popular, one of the possible
explanations which would occur to me would be famine. But the next step
would be to test our hypothesis by finding out whether, in fact, much or
little food was being consumed in that country. If the evidence showed that
a good deal was being eaten, then of course we should have to abandon the
hypothesis of starvation and try to think of another one. In the same way,
before accepting sexual starvation as the cause of the strip-tease, we
should have to look for evidence that there is in fact more sexual
abstinence in our age than in those ages when things like the strip-tease
were unknown. But surely there is no such evidence. Contraceptives have made
sexual indulgence far less costly within marriage and far safer outside it
than ever before, and public opinion is less hostile to illicit unions and
even to perversion than it has been since Pagan times. Nor is the hypothesis
of "starvation" the only one we can imagine. Everyone knows that the sexual
appetite, like our other appetites, grows by indulgence. Starving men may
think much about food, but so do gluttons; the gorged, as well as the
Book III. Christian Behaviour 4. Morality and Psychoanalysis -C.S.Lewis
4. Morality and Psychoanalysis
I have said that we should never get a Christian society unless most of
us became Christian individuals. That does not mean, of course, that we can
put off doing anything about society until some imaginary date in the far
future. It means that we must begin both jobs at once-(1) the job of seeing
how "Do as you would be done by" can be applied in detail to modern society,
and (2) the job of becoming the sort of people who really would apply it if
we saw how. I now want to begin considering what the Christian idea of a
good man is-the Christian specification for the human machine.
Before I come down to details there are two more general points I
should like to make. First of all, since Christian morality claims to be a
technique for putting the human machine right, I think you would like to
know how it is related to another technique which seems to make a similar
claim-namely, psychoanalysis.
Now you want to distinguish very clearly between two things: between
the actual medical theories and technique of the psychoanalysts, and the
general philosophical view of the world which Freud and some others have
gone on to add to this. The second thing-the philosophy of Freud-is in
direct contradiction to Christianity: and also in direct contradiction to
the other great psychologist, Jung. And furthermore, when Freud is talking
about how to cure neurotics he is speaking as a specialist on his own
subject, but when he goes on to talk general philosophy he is speaking as an
amateur. It is therefore quite sensible to attend to him with respect in the
one case and not in the other-and that is what I do. I am all the readier to
do it because I have found that when he is talking off his own subject and
on a subject I do know something about (namely, languages) he is very
ignorant. But psychoanalysis itself, apart from all the philosophical
additions that Freud and others have made to it, is not in the least
contradictory to Christianity. Its technique overlaps with Christian
morality at some points and it would not be a bad thing if every parson knew
something about it: but it does not run the same course all the way, for the
two techniques are doing rather different things.
When a man makes a moral choice two things are involved. One is the act
of choosing. The other is the various feelings, impulses and so on which his
psychological outfit presents him with, and which are the raw material of
his choice. Now this raw material may be of two kinds. Either it may be what
we would call normal: it may consist of the sort of feelings that are common
to all men. Or else it may consist of quite unnatural feelings due to things
that have gone wrong in his subconscious. Thus fear of things that are
really dangerous would be an example of the first kind: an irrational fear
of cats or spiders would be an example of the second kind. The desire of a
man for a woman would be of the first kind: the perverted desire of a man
for a man would be of the second. Now what psychoanalysis undertakes to do
is to remove the abnormal feelings, that is, to give the man better raw
material for his acts of choice: morality is concerned with the acts of
choice themselves.
Put it this way. Imagine three men who go to war. One has the ordinary
natural fear of danger that any man has and he subdues it by moral effort
and becomes a brave man. Let us suppose that the other two have, as a result
of things in their sub-consciousness, exaggerated, irrational fears, which
no amount of moral effort can do anything about. Now suppose that a
psychoanalyst comes along and cures these two: that is, he puts them both
back in the position of the first man. Well it is just then that the
psychoanalytical problem is over and the moral problem begins. Because, now
that they are cured, these two men might take quite different lines. The
first might say, "Thank goodness I've got rid of all those doodahs. Now at
last I can do what I always wanted to do-my duty to the cause of freedom."
But the other might say, "Well, I'm very glad that I now feel moderately
cool under fire, but, of course, that doesn't alter the fact that I'm still
jolly well determined to look after Number One and let the other chap do the
dangerous job whenever I can. Indeed one of the good things about feeling
less frightened is that I can now look after myself much more efficiently
and can be much cleverer at hiding the fact from the others." Now this
difference is a purely moral one and psychoanalysis cannot do anything about
it. However much you improve the man's raw material, you have still got
something else: the real, free choice of the man, on the material presented
to him, either to put his own advantage first or to put it last And this$
free choice is the only thing that morality is concerned with.
The bad psychological material is not a sin but a disease. It does not
need to be repented of, but to be cured. And by the way, that is very
important. Human beings judge one another by their external actions. God
judges them by their moral choices. When a neurotic who has a pathological
horror of cats forces himself to pick up a cat for some good reason, it is
quite possible that in God's eyes he has shown more courage than a healthy
man may have shown in winning the V.C. When a man who has been perverted
from his youth and taught that cruelty is the right thing, does some tiny
little kindness, or refrains from some cruelty he might have committed, and
thereby, perhaps, risks being sneered at by his companions, he may, in God's
eyes, be doing more than you and I would do if we gave up life itself for a
Another Muslim killer
My, my, what a surprise…another Muslim terrorist killing in the name of Allah. And speaking of Ft. Hood, watch Obama and company sweep this under the rug, as well. After all, it's not a terrorist attack, just another "man-caused disaster", right Janet?
"A gunman shouting "Allahu Akbar" opened fire on a bus carrying U.S. airmen in Frankfurt, Germany, killing two and wounding two others before his gun jammed and he was subdued, officials said. An ethnic Albanian from Kosovo was taken into custody and the FBI was heading an investigation because U.S. citizens were killed and to determine whether the shooting was an act of terrorism.
President Obama made an unscheduled appearance to say, "I am saddened and I am outraged by this attack" and U.S. investigators would work with German authorities and "spare no effort" to ensure that "all of the perpetrators are brought to justice." He added that the killings were a "stark reminder of the extraordinary sacrifices" of American servicemembers. Sources told ABC News that the gunman boarded a shuttle bus at the Frankfurt airport. The bus was marked United States Air Force and was carrying 13 or 14 people, plus the driver." source – ABC News

Achtung, Juden!
"Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion." Psalm 129:5
Attention all Jews, Louis Farrakhan wants you to know that he is on to you. In the past, he's figured out that you all control Hollywood, every bank throughout the entire world, and that you drink the blood of gentiles in ritual sacrifices. And now he has the "big story" – you Jews are nothing more than a "cover for Satan", you "control the US government", and, oh, did I mention you control all the banks? So my advice to all of you Jews out there is to put your Yellow Stars back on, get on the train, and keep quiet. Because when jackass Louie Farrakhan has something to say, you better listen.
"Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan said Jews and Zionists are "trying to push the US into war" and are a cover for Satan, at the group's annual meeting near Chicago on Tuesday. "President Obama," Farrakhan said, "if you allow the Zionists to push you, to mount a military offensive against Gaddafi and you go in and kill him and his sons as you did with Saddam Hussein and his sons, I'm warning you this is a Libyan problem, let the Libyans solve their problem among themselves." Farrakhan called Muammar Gaddafi "my brother" and "my friend." He also accused American Zionists of attempting to push Israel into war with Iran, adding that "Zionists dominate the government of the United States of America and her banking system." One panel at the conference, titled "The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews," claimed that Jews were disproportionately involved in the slave trade and accused them of controlling the media.
"Some of you think that I'm just somebody who's got something out for the Jewish people," Farrakhan said. "You're stupid. Do you think I would waste my time if I did not think it was important for you to know Satan? My job is to pull the cover off of Satan so that he will never deceive you and the people of the world again." source – JPost
The song remains the same
Louie Farrakhan comes with nothing new, nothing that the past 2,000 years of irrational, unnatural, satanic hatred of the Jews hasn't already covered. But it is important to hear what he has to say, and know that a lot of people agree with at least some of what he has to say. Sadly, and ashamedly, I know people who call themselves Christians, followers of the Jewish Messiah Yeshua Ha'Maschiach, who also hate the "zionists". Do you even know what a Zionist is? Click here to find out. The legacy of Adolf Hitler is not dead, it's alive and well in the hearts and minds of every one who harbors in their heart this irrational hatred of a single, ethnic, race of people.
By all popular definitions of the term "Zionist", it is someone who believes that the land of Israel has been promised to the Jew by God, and that it is their eternal homeland. Certainly when you read the bible you see that that is how God views it as well.
In Genesis 12:3 we read this:
"And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed." God told Abraham that He would bless all those who would bless the Jewish people – BUT – He goes on to say that He will curse all those who, like Farrakhan, curse the Jews. So let me ask you this – whose side are you on? Will you stand with me to bless God's chosen people, or will you stand with Farrakhan and curse the Jews? The choice is yours, but I am here to warn you that it comes with vast, eternal consequences. Let me tell you where I stand personally. I am on the side of the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob, so that means I have a love for His people, the Jews. That also means that I have a love for the "apple" of God's eye, Jerusalem, and Israel. I will stand with the Jews and defend Israel against all her enemies, even if that enemy is you. I am a follower of Jesus Christ, andI am a Zionist who believes that Israel was given to the Jews by God for ever. That's what the bible says. Read it.
Whose side are you on?
How the bible views the future of Israel and the Jews
"For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: For this [is] my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins." Romans 11:25-27

The NFL has expanded its data-collection program to include chips in every football used during the 2017 season, according to Zebra Technologies, the company that will provide the hardware.
The data, generated by radio-frequency identification (RFID) chips built into each ball, will be targeted for use by broadcasters as part of the league's Next-Gen statistics program. It will also be studied by the NFL competition committee, but at this point the information is not precise enough to assist officials with touchdown calls, marking the football for first downs and determining whether the ball has passed through the sideline.
Last season, the NFL experimented with chips in kicking balls used during the preseason and in Thursday night games. Among the points of study was how close the balls passed to the uprights on kick attempts, giving the competition committee information on whether it should propose narrowing the goalposts.
NFL players have been wearing shoulder pads with similar technology during games since 2014. For the ball project, the league commissioned Zebra Technologies to work with Wilson Sporting Goods to develop a chip that would not impact the movement or shape. The chip weighs 3 grams and is built in during production, according to Jill Stelfox, Zebra's vice president and general manager of location solutions.
The chip acts in part as an accelerometer, providing data such as the speed of the football, its spin and whether it is moving in a spiral or end-over-end. The Next-Gen program will experiment with using the information in tandem with player-tracking data. Teams get access to information for their own player tracking, which most coaches interviewed over the past year have largely opposed.
Eventually, however, the combination of player and ball tracking could prove useful. For example, Stelfox said special-teams coaches could document how quickly their players cover a punt relative to the ball's position in the air.
At this point, however, the football chips can't provide consistent enough information to help with officiating. According to Stelfox, the chips can provide location within 6 inches of accuracy -- a significant variance for measuring first downs. Even if it were more accurate, it couldn't document the exact location of a player's feet, knees or other body parts to determine where the ball is when the player is ruled down -- a critical part of the ball-marking process.
"In some cases," Stelfox said, "those 6 inches might be good enough [to spot the ball]. But in all cases, it's probably not good enough at this point with the technology being where it is. It also depends on where your feet are, and your knees are, and we don't have those tagged with chips. They're only in the shoulder pads. So the NFL is still going to need referees to do that."
The NFL did not immediately provide information Thursday morning on how it will use the new data.
