Hanoi to build ten more bypasses for pedestrians
The Hanoitimes - Currently, the Hanoi People’s Committee has approved projects to build four pedestrian bridges.
Hanoi will build another ten overpasses in crowded streets and across the To Lich river with a view to reducing traffic congestion and ensuring pedestrians’ safety and convenience, local media reported.
Accordingly, seven steel structure framed pedestrian overpasses will be built along the routes of Nguyen Trai in Thanh Xuan district, Lang in Dong Da district, Nguyen Van Cu in Long Bien district, and three other overhead bridges across the To Lich river.
Currently, the Hanoi People’s Committee has approved projects to build four pedestrian bridges. Of them, one is located at the T-junction of Trieu Khuc road in Thanh Xuan district and three in Nguyen Van Cu street in Long Bien district.
All the four bridges will be assembled with steel structure and surface drainage system. The construction is scheduled to finish in 2020.
In reply to the municipal Department of Planning and Investment’s requirement on evaluating the possibility of building three pedestrian bridges across the To Lich River and three bridges along Lang street, the Department of Transport said these constructions are necessary and urgent.
There is a high density of offices, schools and vehicles in Lang street. An increasing number of pedestrians cross Lang street and To Lich river everyday.
Three bridges include To Lich 1 bridge, which is located between the Cot and 361 bridges, To Lich 2 bridge, halfway between 361 and Trung Hoa bridges, and To Lich 3 bridge in the middle between Trung Hoa and Hoa Muc bridges. Each bridge has an estimated length of 40 meters.
The pedestrian bridges along Lang road includes Bridge No1 locating near 1174 Lang road with a length of 43m, Bridge No2 near 778 Lang road with a length 33m, and Bridge No3 near Lang Ha market with a length of 41m.
According to the department, Lang street runs through three big districts including Thanh Xuan, Dong Da and Cau Giay, and links Hanoi’s downtown with Noi Bai International Airport. It has a high density of vehicles, posing risks for pedestrians and bus riders as the bus stops are far from existing bridges.

Elizabeth Soto Albrecht will become moderator of Mennonite Church USA at the denomination’s Phoenix convention this July. Phoenix, however, will be only one of her many stops this summer. The scholar and pastor, who calls Lancaster, Pa. home, is embarking on a nation-wide pilgrimage to visit MC USA congregations.
Following brief “send-off” trips to Norristown (Pa.), New York City, and Philadelphia, Soto Albrecht will begin her journey by heading down the east coast to Florida, before venturing west to Phoenix in time to deliver the keynote address on the final day of the convention, July 5. Immediately afterward, she will spend two additional weeks circling up the west coast and across the Midwest before arriving home in Lancaster, PA on July 21.
In light of Arizona’s controversial immigration legislation, the purpose of Soto Albrecht’s journey is to listen to stories of MC USA congregations most impacted by the decision to hold the convention in Phoenix. The legislation includes a “show me your papers” provision which authorizes law enforcement to arbitrarily check an individual’s immigration status. The provision has been accused of permitting a form of racial profiling. “I may not have power to make cultural institutional change, but I can speak,” said Soto Albrecht, originally from Puerto Rico.
On her recent visit to Nueva Vida Norristown New Life, Soto Albrecht expressed her vision of a church remaining united amidst growing diversity. “No more shunning, no more violence … We must learn how to fight for unity.” Soto Albrecht’s pilgrimage will help her to better lead an increasingly diverse denomination into the challenging, often polarizing, terrain of the twenty-first century. “When we return, and I look back, I want to be able to say I was empowered by holding all these stories and those narratives coming from many perspectives and walks of life, but labeled under MC USA, and that they inform and shape me as moderator.”
Franconia Conference’s Executive Minister, Ertell Whigham, shares Soto Albrecht’s passion for the work of cultivating a truly united church. “Within unity is both reconciliation and representation,” Whigham said. “Unity requires effort and calls for truth and a willingness to invest in what and who we claim to be or want to become. Franconia Conference believes that Sister Soto’s pilgrimage is one representation of the effort to hear ‘the rest of the story.’”
In support of Soto Albrecht’s journey, Franconia Conference is sending associate director of communication, Emily Ralph, to provide communication support — including a web presence, podcasts, audio, video, and blogging. Soto Albrecht will also be accompanied by her husband, Frank, while Harry Jarrett, pastor at Neffsville (Lancaster, Pa.) and moderator of Atlantic Coast Conference, will provide further social media support for the week leading up to Phoenix.
The soon-to-be moderator is encouraging congregations who are not able to risk going to Phoenix, or are remaining home in protest, to proclaim God’s hospitality in their own communities. “If God has called you to go to Phoenix, go with a prophetic voice. If you do not go, do some symbolic act that week, and send a report to Phoenix.”
Some local congregations are considering the option of doing a prayer walk in their respective neighborhoods on Friday, July 5, the day that Elizabeth will give the keynote address and lead a prayer walk in Phoenix.
Soto Albrecht’s pilgrimage will be chronicled at JourneyWithElizabeth.com, which states that “her journey begins with a single story and ends with a thousand.” In addition to collecting stories from Soto Albrecht’s travels, the website will also serve as a forum for others to share their own stories with Soto Albrecht and the rest of the Mennonite church.

Here was the unloading point for a 38-tonne steel housing that Van Grinsven B.V. transported with its new 3-axle MegaMAX lowbed trailer from Faymonville.
A successful premiere that took the orange-coloured vehicle combination from Croatia via Slovenia, Austria and Germany to the Netherlands. The expectations for the new acquisition were thereby fulfilled. "The new extra-low vesseldeck with removable loading floor gives us many options," reports company director Marco Van Grinsven, and he explains some of the handy advantages: "The radio remote control makes a big difference. It's no longer necessary to step out of the cab in order to operate the gooseneck, suspension and steering if need be. All that takes place at a distance - and that increases safety."
With elongation beams for more options
With a loading length of 12.5 m, the white-wrapped freight only partly exhausted the potential of the lowbed. In combination with the additional elongation beams, the fully extended loading platform can carry goods up to 21.4 m in length. New areas of use open up for Marco Van Grinsven: "Thanks to its versatile features, the Faymonville lowbed has proven to be a genuine enhancement for our vehicle fleet."
Firmly lashed, the steel housing made its way through Europe on the MegaMAX. Safety aspects play an important role in vehicle construction. "Numerous lashing points on the sturdy loading platform keep the load in position," says Marco Van Grinsven. The lowbed with a basic width of 2,750 mm ideally matches the requirement profile of his company, whose core activity, apart from national and international special and heavy-duty transport, is crane rental. With Faymonville, not only the vehicle quality convinces the Dutch company, because Marco Van Grinsven is also taken with the "determined sales advice and after-sales service."
Further lowbeds to follow
Van Grinsven B.V. knows and values what Faymonville has to offer. Another 3-axle lowbed semi-trailer of the MegaMAX series will follow shortly, this time with a basic width of 2,540 mm. And for the toughest transport tasks, the experts have already been relying on their modular CombiMAX kit for several years. In this segment, they just recently added another 5+7 combination to their fleet.

An unusual discovery
For years, two figures painted on a wall and concealed behind a cupboard at Red House were believed to have been the work of a single artist.
Now, major conservation work has uncovered an entire wall painting, which experts believe is by William Morris and friends, all of whom were important Pre-Raphaelite artists.
Red House was the home of Morris between 1860 and 1865. Regular visitors were Pre-Raphaelite artists Dante Gabriel Rossetti, his wife Elizabeth Siddal, Edward Burne-Jones and Ford Madox Brown.
At different times, Morris's friends helped decorate walls, ceilings and items of furniture at the house with colourful wall paintings and decorative patterns inspired by their love of the medieval past.
After Morris left Red House, until we acquired it in 2003, it remained in private ownership. As tastes changed, much of his original decoration was covered over with panelling, wallpaper or paint.
Hidden for years behind a wardrobe
The bedroom wall painting had been hidden for years behind a fitted wardrobe and covered with wallpaper and until this year only two indistinct figures were visible.
Following generous funding, we've been able to undertake conservation that has uncovered the complete painting, measuring 6ft by 8ft.
The painting, designed for what had been Morris and his wife Jane’s bedroom, depicts Biblical characters: the figures of Adam and Eve (with the serpent), Noah (holding a miniature ark), Rachel and Jacob (with a ladder) and is designed to resemble a hanging tapestry with the illusion of folds.
We don't know for certain which artist painted which figure, and further research and analysis will be undertaken. Experts have based their initial thoughts on the styles of each artist along with other details known about their connections to Morris.
Jan Marsh, author and President of the William Morris Society, said: 'The concept of the overall design was almost certainly by Morris. Our initial thoughts are that the figure of Jacob was by Morris, Rachel possibly by Elizabeth Siddal, Noah by Madox Brown. But who painted Adam and Eve? Maybe Rossetti or Burne-Jones?'
Lines of faded and incomplete text were also uncovered at the bottom of the painting. For help in identifying the words, Red House staff put out an image on Twitter and Facebook. Within a day, the text had been identified as lines from Genesis 30:6.
James Breslin, our House Manager at Red House said: 'The early years at Red House were a flowering of ideas and creativity for Morris. To uncover such a remarkable example of this early decoration has been so exciting.'
The conservation of the bedroom wall painting was undertaken over a period of two months by a team of specialist wall painting conservators led by Tobit Curteis.
Funding for the conservation was received from Wolfson Foundation, a private donor and our funds, which have brought these layers of Red House, and its exciting decoration, back to life.


text: An umbrella term is a word or a phrase that covers a broad range of related things instead of just one. The terms covered by the umbrella are distinct but related. For instance, multisexual is an umbrella term for many identities that share the common trait of having attractions that are not limited to a single sex or gender, opposite to sexual orientations that are monosexual. The "multisexual umbrella," "multi-attraction spectrum," "multisexual spectrum," or "m-spec" thus includes people who identify as multisexual, as well as those who instead or additionally identify as pansexual, polysexual, omnisexual, bisexual, or another identity involving attraction to more than one gender. Other umbrella terms include non-binary and transgender.

When I am standing in my little library on top of the hill, chatting to my regulars and stamping their books, or when I am at my big library at the bottom of the hill, stock editing and and running staff meetings, I am very happy. I love my work, and I work with some wonderful people. However, it has been quite a while since I took any of my annual holiday time, and I am ready for it. The last few weeks have been exhausting. I am still enjoying my work, but I am tired all the time, and often have a headache at the back of my mind. I have been doing a lot of working late, having to go in early, missing lunches, which I know isn't good for me, and I know I shouldn't but sometimes, you have to, and that goes with being in charge.
So while I love it, equally, I am looking foward to being off next week. A whole week, to myself! Sadly Carl could not get the week off with me, but I am sure I shall amuse myself, and he can look forward to coming home to a week of dinner on the table! On Friday I am going up to London with a friend from work to go to the Stitch and Craft show at Olympia. We go every year and have done for maybe 7 or 8 years, and is definitely a high point in my year. We are taking workshops in making vintage bunting, and stump work bees! I plan to do a lot of baking and reading and knitting and crocheting, watching some films, going for walks, and general puttering. I might even take myself off for a swim or too. Oooh, and I want to try some embroidery too.
I know I am going to really enjoy my week off, but it has come round ever so fast, so I haven't really had time to plan it in my head, or make firm arrangements. I feel a bit like I have missed out on time to anticipate the pleasures to come, so I am making up for it by starting now!
Tomorrow evening I am going to see a comedian at my local theatre, and then on Friday it is up to London (twice in a week!!!) to see Love Never Dies, the sequel to Phantom of the Opera. What a whirl!

The last time I saw Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa (above, left), he was at the 2012 Democratic National Convention, leading his fellow progressives as they denied God three times.
He was back on my radar last night, joining his fellow California Democrats in their unyielding assault on the Second Amendment.
A package of some of the most restrictive gun control measures in the nation advanced in the state Senate on Tuesday after tearful testimony from victims of firearms violence and opposition from gun-owner groups including the National Rifle Assn.
After a nine-hour hearing that saw support from Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, the Senate Public Safety Committee approved seven bills that are part of a package of measures dubbed by Democratic leaders as the “Life Act.” The bills still need to be approved by the full Senate and Assembly.
The proposals approved by the panel include requirements for licenses and background checks for those buying ammunition and restrictions that would close loopholes on the possession of assault weapons with detachable magazines.
One measure approved by the committee with Republicans opposed would prohibit the future sale, purchase and manufacture in California of semiautomatic rifles that can accept detachable magazines, and require those who own such weapons now to register them with the state.Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg (D-Sacramento) said his proposal would close a loophole that has allowed the “the commercialization of mass killing machines” by the gun industry.
“They have a virtually unlimited capacity to shoot and to kill,” Steinberg told the committee.
If restrictive gun laws stopped crime, why are the cities and states with the most restrictive laws the scenes of most murders and the biggest gang and drug problems?
I’m stunned that in a post-Heller world that California’s existing gun laws haven’t been shredded. This new legislation, which doesn’t come close to passing Constitutional muster, is going to cost the state millions in court costs, will save no lives (and may even cost a few), and will eventually be overturned.
And we call Republicans the “stupid Party.”

I love living in Denver, Colorado! Denver was chosen as the perfect place for The Little Mermaid to make its pre-Broadway run this summer. This isn’t the first time the Denver Center Performing Arts Complex (DCPAC) and the folks at the Walt Disney Company have teamed up. The Lion King made its touring debut five years ago at the DCPAC and had a return engagement last fall. I have been lucky enough to see performances of all of them.
The Little Mermaid has never been my family’s favorite Disney movie and Ariel is definitely not our favorite princess, but my girls and I loved the stage version of The Lion King so much that when we knew The Little Mermaid was coming to town, we snatched up tickets. So after six months of anticipation, we headed off to a Sunday matinee with Ariel and friends.
A little background on the venue: the newly renovated Ellie Caulkins Theater serves as the home to the Denver ballet and opera companies in the fall and winter months and there isn’t a horrible seat in the house. This was one of the most highly attended events at the Theater, with almost 95,000 tickets sold for 47 performances.
We had some not-so-good seats (we didn’t splurge on the tickets), but that didn’t dampen our enthusiasm for being at the theater. The staging of the show was such that we only missed a little bit of the action that happened at the very tip-top of the scenery. It is a wonderful bit of staging that makes you forget you are on land and not under the sea.
After seeing the show, I am going to have to agree with a lot of the reviews I have read: the costumes need retooling and I especially did not like the way the mermaids and Flounder “swam” around on rollarblades, but I am also not a big fan of wheeled footwear. One costume that doesn’t need reworking is Ursula’s – it is absolutely amazing! Sherrie Rene Scott plays up the role of Ursula so magnificently that the audience loves to hate her. In her Broadway debut, Denver native Sierra Boggess has been perfectly cast as Ariel. Sierra’s voice gave us goosebumps a couple of times when she was singing. The young man who played Flounder for our performance, Cody Hanford, stole every scene he was in despite his costume. Flotsam & Jetsam are given bigger roles in the stage version, and the gentlemen who play them should get Tony Awards for best supporting fish; they cracked me up! I see a lot of Tony Awards for acting in the future for this cast. Absolutely marvelous!
As with most shows there have been revisions and additions made to the story and music and for the most part they make sense. Our favorite song, “Positoovity,” begins the second act and is sung by the seagulls. I love this song, it just didn’t make a lot of sense in relation to the story. The second act also has a song in it that sounds an awful lot like “Be Our Guest” from Beauty and the Beast. These “mishaps” didn’t stop us from preordering the cast CD. I won’t reveal the story revisions – I want you to be able to experience the ahamoments I did.
Overall, when this opens on Broadway later this season it will be to packed houses because it is a Disney production. Hopefully the little kinks will be worked out, but even if they aren’t, you all are in for a magnificent night on the town. The Little Mermaid is full of brilliant acting, goosebump-inducing singing and giggles.
The Denver production of The Little Mermaid ended September 9th. It will begin previews November 3rd and opens December 6th at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre in New York City. More information about the Broadway production can be found athttp://disney.go.com/theatre/thelittlemermaid/.

Land Rover Coil Springs
Land Rover coil springs are part of your vehicle's suspension system. The suspension system includes struts, shocks, shock absorbers, and control arms along with your Land Rover coil springs. Located above your wheel wells, your Land Rover coil springs work with your shock absorbers to give you great handling for your vehicle and keep the bouncing and jarring to a minimum as you travel over road imperfections. When your Land Rover coil springs are worn, you may notice that your vehicle seems to be sagging in the front or the rear. Other than making your car look crooked, worn Land Rover coil springs can result in damage to your undercarriage if you hit hard bumps and "bottom out." Some people choose to install a set of custom Land Rover coil springs for a variety of purposes. You can purchase Land Rover coil springs that lower your ride height while still providing great handling, giving your vehicle a new look that shows off your wheels instead of your wheel wells. Lower Land Rover coil springs are a popular modification for those who have installed larger-than-stock tires on their vehicles. If your vehicle's performance and handling are starting to slip, and you're not getting the response you used to, it may be time to replace your Land Rover coil springs. Whether your Land Rover coil springs are worn and sagging or you are looking to customize the appearance of your vehicle, you will find a great selection of Land Rover coil springs in our extensive and easy-to-search online catalogue. Choose from our two convenient ordering options: you can place your order through our secure online server, or by calling our toll-free customer service number.

Former Tottenham Hotspur and Everton striker Gary Lineker has praised the impact of Arsenal manager Unai Emery within a short space of time.
The English football legend lauded his positive effect on the Gunners since he replaced former boss Arsene Wenger in the summer.
Unai Emery put pen to paper on a three-year deal to become the Arsenal manager before the start of this campaign and he has been a breath of fresh year for the North Londoners since his appointment.
He started his managerial reign at Arsenal with two successive league defeats to Premier League holders Manchester City and city rivals Chelsea before leading his side to a run of 14-games without defeat in all competitions.
The run includes 12 victories and 2 draws.
Lineker praised the former Paris Saint Germain (PSG) and Valencia boss via his official Twitter account via football.london.
His tweet came after Unai Emery weaved his magic again to earn Arsenal a 1-1 draw at home to favourites Liverpool.
The Gunners trailed to a James Milner goal in the 61st minute before substitute Alex Iwobi made a telling contribution by providing an assist for in-form striker Alexandre Lacazette.
The French striker struck the equaliser with eight minutes left on the clock.


Navigating the challenges of a daughter born five months premature has given Cavs guard JR Smith added perspective on ups and downs, on court and off. - From ESPN.com
As the Cleveland Cavaliers guard shared intimate details about the crisis his family has been steeping in the past three months, Smith picked up a reporter’s smartphone that was sitting on a stand in front of him, recording his news conference, to illustrate a point.
While he is buoyed by Cleveland’s 2-0 series lead over the Indiana Pacers in the first round, his contributions -- six points in Game 1 and just three points in Game 2 before leaving at halftime with a hamstring pull -- have been meager.
As he recovered from surgery that caused him to miss 2½ months of the season, he stayed behind in Cleveland, missing out on road trips with the team.
The Bulls • Clippers turn on power in Game 2 • Winners, losers after weekend • Cavs Big 3 rules Game 2 win • McCollum, Lillard seek to even score • Grit, grind and center who shoots 3s • LeBron's all-time top playoff games • Upsets?
1 for any and everybody before any occupation.” When asked if the Cavaliers ever discussed the possibility of a healthy Smith missing games to tend to Dakota, Cleveland coach Tyronn Lue said, “That was a serious situation, and if JR needed to take time to be with his family, then that would’ve been understandable by me and I’m pretty sure the players and the organization.

On 3 November Chiswick Auctions will be holding a special curated sale at 2pm, “THE ART OF TEA”, following on from their usual “ASIAN ART” sale.
The sale explores tea drinking culture of the Far East as well as tea drinking in art, with examples from China, Japan, Tibet and Vietnam.
The sale includes teapots, tea cups, tea caddies, kettles, trays, artworks and paintings in a wide range of material including porcelain, lacquer, jade, agate, silver, canton enamel, cloisonné enamel, iron, bronze, tin, pewter, rosewood, burl walnut and bamboo.
Dedicated sections of the sale have been allocated to Cadogan teapots, export ware, caddies, Song ware, Tetsubin kettles, clobbered ware, yixing ware, trays, silver, Tibetan teaware and tea-themed works of art.
200 years of the Cadogan Teapot:
Cadogan teapots, popularised in the West by Lord Cadogan (1675 – 1726) to whom they owe their name, have for centuries delighted the Western market for their puzzling property of being filled through the base. Although produced primarily for the export market since the early Qing (lots 261-263), they were circulated domestically, including across the Sino-Korean peninsula (lot 260), from before the late Ming. Some have argued that these vessels were designed as waterpots due to the challenge of cleaning their interior and lot 260 provides evidence for this case. Nevertheless, their position within tea history in the West is clearly evident.
The Art of the Tray
The tray, like other aspects of tea-drinking paraphernalia is an art-form borne of necessity. Ranging from the saucer (lot 355), an individual support for a single cup, to objects capable of supporting a whole tea service (lot 358), the tray offers a unique combination of three dimensional form and two dimensional surface. This surface, usually framed within a decorated rim, can be carved (lots 350 and 352), painted (354), inlaid with mother of pearl (351), silver (358), brass and copper (353), or even left blank to draw attention to the natural qualities of the material (356 and 357).
Lot 350 – A CHINESE CINNABAR LACQUER BIRD AND FLOWER TRAY. Late Ming, early 17th Century. Of square form with canted corners, shallow everted sides supported on a broad foot and slightly recessed base, the interior carved and incised through layers of rich cinnabar lacquer with a pair of birds among peonies above a gnarled rock, the sky incised with floral diapers which continue over the sides at the centre of which is a peony flower head, 35 x 35cm. 庆宜堂制 明代 红漆花鸟盘 Literature: For a closely related table screen see Dragon and Phoenix: Chinese Lacquer Ware: the Lee Family Collection, Tokyo, 1990, cat no 72.

And it came to pass at that time, that Judah went down from his brethren, and turned in to a certainAdullamite, whose name was Hirah.2
And Judahsaw there a daughter of a certainCanaanite, whose name was Shuah; and he took her , and went in unto her.
And she conceived , and bare a son; and he called his nameEr.4
And she conceived again, and bare a son; and she called his nameOnan.5
And she yet again conceived , and bare a son; and called his nameShelah: and he was at Chezib, when she bare him.
And Judahtook a wife for Er his firstborn, whose name was Tamar.7
And Er,Judah'sfirstborn, was wicked in the sight of the LORD; and the LORDslew him.
And Judahsaid unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother'swife, and marry her, and raise upseed to thy brother.9
And Onanknew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother'swife, that he spilled it on the ground,lest that he should giveseed to his brother.10
And the thing which he diddispleaseda the LORD: wherefore he slew him also.
Then saidJudah to Tamar his daughter in law,Remain a widow at thy father'shouse, till Shelah my son be grown : for he said , Lest peradventure he die also, as his brethren did. And Tamarwent and dwelt in her father'shouse.12
And in processb of time the daughter of ShuahJudah'swifedied ; and Judah was comforted , and went up unto his sheepshearers to Timnath, he and his friendHirah the Adullamite.13
And it was toldTamar,saying , Behold thy father in law goeth up to Timnath to shear his sheep.14
And she put her widow'sgarmentsoff from her, and covered her with a vail, and wrapped herself , and sat in an opencplace, which is by the way to Timnath; for she saw that Shelah was grown , and she was not given unto him to wife.15
When Judah saw her , he thought her to be an harlot ; because she had covered her face.16
And he turned unto her by the way, and said , Go to , I pray thee, let me come in unto thee; (for he knew not that she was his daughter in law.) And she said , What wilt thou give me, that thou mayest come in unto me?
And he said , I will send thee a kiddfrom the flock. And she said , Wilt thou give me a pledge, till thou send it?
And he said , Whatpledge shall I give thee? And she said , Thy signet, and thy bracelets, and thy staff that is in thine hand. And he gave it her, and came in unto her, and she conceived by him.
And she arose , and went away , and laid by her vail from her, and put on the garments of her widowhood.20
And Judahsent the kidby the hand of his friend the Adullamite, to receive his pledge from the woman'shand: but he found her not.
Then he asked the men of that place,saying , Where is the harlot, that was openlye by the way side? And they said , There was no harlot in this place.
And he returned to Judah, and said , I cannotfind her; and also the men of the placesaid , that there was no harlot in this place.
And Judahsaid , Let her take it to her, lest we be shamed:f behold, I sent this kid, and thou hast not found her.
And it came to pass about threemonths after, that it was toldJudah,saying , Tamar thy daughter in law hath played the harlot ; and also, behold, she is with child by whoredom. And Judahsaid , Bring her forth , and let her be burnt .
When she was brought forth , she sent to her father in law,saying , By the man, whose these are, am I with child: and she said , Discern , I pray thee, whose are these, the signet, and bracelets, and staff.26
And Judahacknowledged them, and said , She hath been more righteous than I; because that I gave her not to Shelah my son. And he knew heragain no more.
And it came to pass in the time of her travail , that, behold, twins were in her womb.28
And it came to pass, when she travailed , that the one put out his hand: and the midwifetook and bound upon his hand a scarlet thread,saying , This came outfirst.29
And it came to pass, as he drew back his hand, that, behold, his brother came out : and she said , How hast thou broken forth ? this breach be upon thee: therefore his name was calledPharez.30
And afterward came out his brother, that had the scarlet thread upon his hand: and his name was calledZarah.

While a loan modification could help a homeowners avoid foreclosure, with recent lender scandals, the process of actually getting a modification is proving to be difficult at times.
According to the National Consumer Law Center, only 10 percent of homeowners who are having problems paying monthly mortgages are actually qualifying for modifications, which has many homeowner advocates pointing the finger at lenders who failed to carry out legal obligations.
A recent Orlando Sentinel article looked at the mortgage industry’s role in the uptick in the number of foreclosures nationwide, and even pointed to Florida as being one of the hardest hit states in the country.
The beginning of the foreclosure crisis can be blamed on a number of factors. Sources point to a decrease in home values, high unemployment rates and people buying homes that either he or she couldn’t afford, or homes that lenders lured them into, knowing very well that a person did not make enough to afford the home.
And, to make matters worse, several banks had lenders that were robo-signing, meaning the employees were just signing off on foreclosure documents without even reading them, and also presented “false or misleading documents” to just speed up the entire foreclosure process.
Now, with loan modifications, sources are claiming that bank call centers are not properly handling requests, which is resulting in people not being able to modify payments and stop a home from going into foreclosure.
With the increase in foreclosure filings, Florida’s 9th Judicial Circuit was even given additional funding this summer to pay retired judges to go through a backlog of filings that was up to almost 40,000. However, the money was originally given with the thinking that the filings would be uncontested, which may change with homeowners learning more and more about how loan modifications and foreclosures were treated by many banks and lenders.
All of these recent scandals and investigations into lender practices only go to prove how complicated filing for a loan modification can be. An experience attorney can help make the process go smoothly and in the best interest of the homeowner.

Anti-Semitism lately is coming strongest from one particular direction
The last time Israel and Hamas were at war, in 2014, I flew from my home in Chicago to Israel (where we have a small apartment) with my family to show support. I remember those three weeks as though it were yesterday. I would have traveled to Israel again during the recent conflict, but COVID restrictions prevented that.
So I do my best to use the platform offered by these pages and other media to set the record straight against the constant stream of lies spouted to defame Israel. This includes "the international community," who largely blamed Israel. The reality is that most of these hypocritical countries would have turned Gaza into a parking lot ten years ago if Hamas, which is supported by Iran, were their neighbor.
The biased media also did their best to slander Israel. They failed to report that a major cause of the violence was the conflict between Hamas and the Palestinian Authority, including the P.A.'s postponement of elections, not Israel's planned eviction of a few dozen squatters in Jerusalem who haven't paid rent in 50 years.
Other bad actors include too many "woke" virtue-signaling Democratic politicians and ill-informed celebrities. Very few of those criticizing Israel state publicly what we all know is true: Israel, as any government would, had an obligation to defend its citizens from Hamas's 4,000-plus rocket attacks, which were aimed at killing Israeli civilians and disrupting life. In contrast, Israel targeted only Hamas's terrorist leaders and infrastructure and provided ample warning before it struck buildings.
Sometimes I hate being proven correct, and the aftermath of the war is one of those instances. For years I've argued on these pages, on my social media blog, and on TV and radio shows that anti-Semitism from the left is more dangerous than from the right. The vicious displays of Jew-hatred across the world from the usual suspects — Islamists and the Progressive left — following Israel's justifiable and measured defense of its citizens proves my point. From universities to restaurants to shops to the streets and neighborhoods in cities worldwide, we have seen constant calls to violence against Jews, Jewish institutions, and Israel by the Progressive left and Islamists.
Meanwhile, moderates and conservatives, no matter their ethnicity and religion, are largely defending Israel. Predictably and sadly, my friends on the left, who are so quick to call out more benign anti-Semitism from the fringe right, are silent.

Most of us may perhaps nonetheless unfamiliar with the word “HDMI” years ago. In just a few years, our life has been drastically changed as HDMI serials promptly turn out to be one of the most significant home-theater gear that capable of transferring 1080p HD video and uncompressed high-resolution audio by way of a single HDMI cable. Even so, to do the exact same issue with other kinds of cable such as analog cables, you may have to connect three component-video cables plus six analog audio cables–that’s a entire great deal of cable clutter. Even all of us wish to make our household theater be of “high definition”, you could possibly still confuse with what is HDMI and how HDMI has changed our life.
HDMI refers to High-Definition Multimedia Interface, a fairly fantastic description for what it truly is. As a compact audio/video interface for transmitting uncompressed digital information, HDMI is generally employed to connect a high-definition device–such as an HD DVR–to an HDTV. HDMI has several versions now, from HDMI 1.1 to the latest HDMI 1.four, it requires only a number of years. Though HDMI 1.four has been developed, HDMI 1.three continues to be becoming regarded as the well-known one particular because of its wide application when HDMI 1.four has just been applied to HDMI cables not too long ago. Because the technologies develops, HDMI 1.4 will be significantly enhanced and widely made use of in every walk of life.
Today, every new HDTV has no less than two HDMI inputs, and digital devices for instance DVRs, Sky HD Set-top Box, DVD players, Blu-ray players, game consoles, and computers function HDMI outputs to provide audio and video. Together with the proliferation of new and thrilling HDMI products flooding the industry such as several selections for displaying and hearing the a variety of source devices in a effectively equipped household theater, a prevalent dilemma has occurred that people must come across a process of switching between many source components to many displays or receivers. There came the HDMI switch and HDMI matrix switch.
To some extent, HDMI matrix is a specific kind of HDMI switch. They each function as HDMI hubs and converters that save you a great deal of difficulty to match a clutter of HDMI cables from every single HDMI supply to displays. It’s a ought to particularly when the displays (including the out-of-date varieties) which can be with out or with out enough inputs to connect your DVD player, PS3 game station, blu-ray player, and so on. Even the receivers with all the greatest quantity of HDMI in’s and out’s are generally on the greater end in the solution line. This tends to make several Home Theater Enthusiasts to discover a practical resolution out of budgetary. The difference in between which is that you could freely switch among different source devices and numerous displaying gears simultaneously via HDMI matrix. This can be just as its name “Matrix” implies. Even so, you just can switch between several sources plus the only a single displaying device because there’s only a single output for frequent HDMI switch.
The newest remedy of HDMI matrix delivers the capability to switch amongst up to 4 source devices and independently out to two or 4 different destinations with support for HDMI 1.three. It extends HDMI signals by means of HDMI cables or single Cat.5e/6 as much as 30M at 1080P resolution (HDMI cables up to 15M, Cat.5 cable up to 25M). From this aspect, matrix is classified in two sorts: HDMI Matrix over Single Cat.5e/6 and HDMI True Matrix. The former form refers to HDMI matrix extend signals by means of Cat.5e/6 though the latter 1 by way of HDMI cables. To some extent, HDMI Accurate Matrix is just a relative name to HDMI Matrix more than Single Cat.5e/6. In fact there is absolutely no much distinction involving them in function except that HDMI signals can be extended longer and without having any loss in intensity over single Cat.5e/6. Frequently speaking, the two types of HDMI Matrix prevailing within the industry: four X 2 and 4 X four HDMI Matrix. As the name “4 X 2 Matrix” states, it can be a Matrix switcher that you can independently assign any on the four inputs to each from the two outputs. You’ll be able to also assign one particular input to each outputs to have a split. For four X 2 Matrix, it refers to a Matrix switcher with four inputs and four outputs though 4 X 2 Matrix just has 2 outputs (their distinction). It works as 4 X 2 Matrix. You could pick out as outlined by you demand.
An HDMI Matrix switcher offers you flexibility and also you do not have to duplicate your property theater in other rooms. With both the DVD player as well as the high definition receiver are within the den even though satellite receiver in the living space, you watching a DVD within your den when your families simultaneously watch Television programs inside the living room, that is a labor in final days considering the fact that you might have to duplicate your house theater in other rooms and match a clutter of cables. And also you and your households can freely switch in between the DVD and Television applications as you like. HDMI matrixes are broadly applied to organization centers, classrooms, control rooms, conference rooms, casinos, remote monitoring and instruction facilities, shopping centre, plaza, Emporium, supermarket, and so forth. By way of example, plasma TVs with ads broadcast all days are rather common in Shopping Plaza. With only one particular HDMI matrix, the manager can broadcast up to 4 groups of advertisements, and he/she can freely switch the ads- to create them precisely the same group or unique from each other. Very simple and Simple!

Our game guy Kyle is still short on cash, so we’re continuing JK Geekly’s Free Video Game Summer. Last week’s games didn’t have too much in the way of story, but this week’s games will make up for that shortcoming. Let’s get to it.
Barkley, Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden
(Chapter 1 of the Hoopz Barkley Saga)
Um. It took me a week to figure out what I downloaded with this game. I have to give it to Tales of Game’s Studios (that’s their spelling, not mine), they went with an unlikely hero and a bizarre story.
The year is 2053, 12 years after the Great B-Ball Purge, also known as “B-Ballnaught,” and the world is still out of sorts after the first Chaos Dunk, a jam so powerful its mere existence threatens the balance of chaos and order, when it suffers a second Chaos Dunk. You play as one of the last basketball greats, Charles Barkley, who fights for basketball freedom. Yeah, the story’s that silly, and I love the warning that pops up on the screen when you first start a game. “Warning: this game is canon.” What?
Barkley, Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden plays like a classic Super Nintendo JRPG, from its graphic style, game play, and even its broken English. The story is so weird, engaging, and set in a post-apocalyptic world, where folks may not speak or write correctly, that I can forgive a lot of the poor grammar. The story itself may be nonsensical, but Tales of Game’s put a lot of work into it, and it shows. They’ve built one of the most unique gaming worlds you’ll find.
The game play is also surprisingly deep. Barkley Gaiden—I’ll just call this game Barkley Gaiden for now—does a great job of aping Chrono Trigger and JRPGs of that ilk. You can see potential enemies, and sometimes they may run at the player and attack if the player moves into their line of sight. Once combat’s initiated, each player has special attacks or abilities they can use. Many of these actions require timed button presses, like the Mario RPG series, and some are accuracy-based, gaining more power for better accuracy, similar to Legend of Dragoon. From a game play aspect, Barkley Gaiden is a hodge-podge of JRPG goodness.
Getting back to the story, Barkley Gaiden makes little to no sense and the characters’ dialogue is so over-the-top gritty that it reads like an angst-ridden teen wrote it, but you can’t beat a cybernetic Vince Carter: Vinceborg. Barkley, Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden is the game a foul mouthed Mel Brooks might make if he wanted to parody a JRPG and basketball. If that odd premise appeals to you, or if you love classic JRPG play, Barkley, Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden is worth a look. Just be prepared for zany things like a heartless, post-apocalyptic Barkley to sing, “get a job” to a homeless man.
You can’t find Barkley Gaiden on Steam, Origin, or any app store. Here’s a link to the game’s page:
Remember, “if you can’t slam with the best, jam with the rest.” Oh, man, that’s cornier than Nebraskan summers.
The Way of Life: Free Edition
I was interested in The Way of Life when I downloaded it off of Steam. The premise intrigued me. You play groupings of three mini-games with the same character as a child, adult, and elder. Unfortunately, the game’s execution leaves a lot to be desired.
Even with overlooking the poor English translation, bugs and glitches, and the fact that I played the free (limited) edition as opposed to the definitive (paid and expanded) edition, you’re left with The Way of Life pigeon holing you into playing the game a certain way and using clichéd life experiences.
The child games were okay and varied—as varied as much as The Way of Life gets—but the adult games were The Way of Life preaching what’s wrong with the world (living to make money instead of living your life for your loved ones), while the elder games depicted an old guy afraid of death. I like video games that send a clear message but I don’t like playing a sermon, so the adult games left me miffed. I’ve also met plenty of elders who had made their peace with death, so the elder games don’t ring true.
I can forgive a lot in a video game—I can even forgive most of what I’ve mentioned so far—but The Way of Life’s worst offense rests with basic game design. You need to know four things in a game: who you are, what you’re doing, why you’re doing what you’re doing, and how do you win? The Way of Life fails to provide feedback on all four accounts.
There was a moment, in one of the child games, when a game bug sent me through a building, and I didn’t care enough about the character or what I was doing to be frustrated. It was an “oh, well” moment. That’s not a good sign, and The Way of Life is my first hard pass.
Super Crate Box
Super Crate Box is another game that doesn’t give every shred of information about its scenario as you play, but it doesn’t matter as much. Monsters are falling from the sky. I don’t know if they’re demons, aliens, or failed government experiments, but you’re a dude fighting for his life, picking up every box of weaponry you can find, and ripping the monsters a new one. This is a gun totting, adrenaline pumping, platform game. Think the original Mario Brothers meets Contra. Yeah, this game provides some dumb fun.
I stink at Super Crate Box, but I like the game. Each weapon behaves differently. Shotguns spray rounds. Revolvers fire single, powerful shots. Bazookas take time to charge and explode on impact. Disc guns ricochet once and can kill you or your enemies if the munition hits on the bounce. The mini-gun fires copious amounts of bullets, but it yields kickback. And so on and so forth. The trick is that you don’t know which weapon you’ll get with each box and picking up a new box can be deadly if you get accustomed to using a specific weapon. Before you think that you’ll stick with your favorite weapon the entire time, think again. You only progress in level after you collect enough crates, so you have to collect as many super crate boxes as you can. Did I mention that Super Crate Box is tough?
The monsters also gain speed and strength with each box you collect, and that makes the gameplay even more difficult, but what makes Super Crate Box stand out is the game’s intuitive nature. You can trick the game into thinking you’re a novice by dying several times in quick succession. Super Crate Box will ease up and that’s how you can progress to the next level. But something tells me you won’t have to intentionally die. Super Crate Box is so difficult that you’ll die whether you want to or not. I don’t know how many times I dodged a monster just to fall into a fire pit. If you like old school platforming games with punishing difficulty, you should give Super Crate Box a try.
That’s all I have for this week of JK Geekly’s Free Video Game Summer. I may have some more gaming to do in the next week, so until we meet again, thanks for reading.

Los Angeles (Knewz) — There's a whole bunch of different ways the Biden administration can continue to try and mitigate high gas prices.
At last count, the Strategic Petroleum Reserve along the Gulf Coast was holding 445 million barrels of its 715 million barrels capacity. So releasing another 15 million barrels from that source, as Biden plans to do in December, is a no-brainer and a strategy that 57 percent of participants in a recent Morning Consult poll approve of.
But it's by no means the leading way people think the current gas price situation should be tackled.
The most popular options in the Oct. 21-23 poll of 2,005 Americans are essentially the same: 76 percent think price gouging should be banned and 74 percent are in favor of the government asking oil companies to lower prices.
Right behind, at 73 percent, is directing domestic oil producers to pump more. And in concert with that idea, 58 percent are in favor of opening up public lands for oil drilling. The support for public-land drilling goes way up when parsed by political affiliation. For example, 82 percent of male Republican voters are in favor.
As part of the Inflation Reduction Act, public lands are being opened up for such purposes. Earlier this month, the Department of the Interior for example announced that gas and oil rights for 261,000 acres of public land in Wyoming, New Mexico and Kansas will be auctioned in 2023.

In early December, US Senate Republicans passed a dramatic overhaul of the US tax system; a big step toward delivering the first major legislative victory for US President Donald Trump.
Republican leaders praised the plan as the biggest rewrite of the nation's tax laws in more than 30 years. However, on the other side of the aisle, Democrats slammed the bill, saying it was unfairly tilted in favor of big companies and rich people – a huge tax cut for the 1 percent. Trump himself attempted to sell the bill as a "Christmas present" for middle class Americans. The richest 1% of US taxpayers receive a larger share of the tax cut in 2018 than the pay in federal taxes.
It is an understatement to say that businessman Trump gave corporations a gift that would keep on giving at least until Trump is in office. The “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act,” is expected to push many American enterprises closer to a tax rate cut from 35 percent to 20 percent. The White House hopes the reduction can raise the domestic GDP growth rate up by three percent, which may help make up for the cost of the tax cut. However, many in the know cast doubt on the GOP prediction that the measure will expand the economy and create new jobs. The Joint Committee on Taxation reported that any economic increases triggered by the reform does not offset revenue losses.
The tax cuts is estimated to bring the government $1.5 trillion less revenue for the next 10 years. That’s' while, the government needs more revenue because millions of more Americans retire each year to go on Social Security and Medicare.

Northern Mariana Islands
|Official Country Name:||Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands|
|Region (Map name):||Oceania|
The Northern Mariana Islands, located in the North Pacific Ocean between Hawaii and the Philippines, were settled by ancestors of the Chamorros Indians around 2000 B.C. In 1521, explorer Ferdinand Magellan claimed the islands for Spain, which ruled them until selling them to Germany in 1899. At the start of World War I, Japan seized the islands until the close of World War II, when they became part of the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands administered by the United States via a United Nations mandate. The islands became self-governing in 1975, and in the 1980s, its citizens received both U.S. citizenship and the civil and political rights of the U.S. Constitution. In 1990, the UN terminated the Trust Territory, but the U.S. remains responsible for foreign affairs and defense. Although the official language is English, most of the population speaks another language at home, such as Chamorro or Carolinian. The population is approximately 72,000, and the literacy rate is 97 percent. The U.S. President serves as the Chief of State, but the Head of Government is local. There is a bicameral legislature with a Senate and a House of Representatives. The garment industry is the most important segment of the economy, but tourism, mostly from Japan, also plays a major role, as does agriculture.
The media enjoy freedom of the press and speech. Two newspapers print Monday through Friday: the Saipan Tribune and the Marianas Variety. Both are available online. The Saipan Tribune publishes in English. The Marianas Variety print edition features both English and Chamorro, but its online edition is English only.
There are five radio stations, two AM and three FM. There is one television station and one Internet service provider.

The previous press box at War Memorial Stadium was built in 1967 and, at that time, it was voted the number one press box in the United States, according to stadium manager Charlie Staggs. The facilities were even rated fifth best in the SEC in the early 1990s, but those days are long gone.
"It was time," says Staggs. "It just wasn't large enough. The little booths we had to add in took places out of the athletic director's booth and we just didn't have enough room for everything we needed."
But that's all changed now. After a $7.3 million renovation, the press box at the Little Rock home of the Arkansas Razorbacks is ready to roll. Three separate levels house not only members of the press, but the visiting and home-team athletic directors, coach's wives, Hogs backers and stadium commissioners.
Marketing and event manager Cathy Hooker says seating is not only functional, but comfortable.
"There's more stadium seating on the second and third floor, so that's huge," she says. "Also, it's got a real lounge kind of a feel. We've got concessions, so the people that are sitting in those seats have a menu and they can just put a check by what they want, hold the card up and the wait staff comes by. We've got a liquor license now so there are two bars. It's a whole different experience when you come and the windows open so when you're here you're going to get that in-the-crowd feeling. But, it's air conditioned, there's staff here, it just doesn't compare."
"The first level is the club level," Staggs says. "There's 396 seats and barstool seats there. The general public can buy that. The club seats are $300 per game, and $200 for the barstools. To be able to buy tickets, they have to be Broyles-Matthews scholarship donors."
The press level has seats for 114 print journalists, a television booth, the Paul Eels and Jim Elder radio booth, a public address booth and separate spaces for visiting and Razorbacks coaches and coordinators.
The press box overlooks a brand new, bright green, red and white field which was installed in the off-season.
"This is just going to give everybody a better experience," Staggs says. "We're really pleased with how everything turned out."
