Blocking extra-EU data transfers would cause an “enormous” crisis, Facebook warns
Facebook also claims that the legal challenge against user data transfers from the EU to US was “deeply flawed”, and that sufficient privacy protections are already in place.
Facebook’s criticism concerns the challenge launched by Max Schrems against the so-called model contracts, legal arrangements that thousands of companies use to transfer personal data outside the EU.
Last May, the Irish Data Protection Authority referred the challenge to the Court Of Justice of the European Union. Facebook argues that this should not have happened, as it did not take into account the EU–US Privacy Shield agreement, under which the US agreed to limit the collection of Europeans’ data stored on US servers, Reuters reported.
According to the Irish Times, Facebook also told the Irish High Court that an “enormous” crisis would follow if the EU would not allow trade with countries that do not have comparable data-protection standards.

Don’t we often see happy couples and wonder how they are so perfect? We think that nothing can affect them in any way and they are meant for each other. While this statement may be true, there are still some disagreements between couples at every point of time. Since they live in under the same roof and in the same room, it is natural that they will have arguments in some matter. These issues must be dealt in an efficient manner in order to avoid tensions between them. What could be the reasons for the fights of these couples who once told each other that they would never let fights take place between them? Here are some common reasons that cause disagreements between a husband and wife. If you are facing any of these, it’s time to improve your relation!
10- Over possessiveness
Sometimes, too much of anything is bad. The same goes for married couples. Too much love also leads to misunderstandings and an example of that is over possessiveness. Sometimes, the wife might generally talk to another man related to work but the husband might not see this in a good way. This is the point where arguments are caused due to over possessiveness. In such cases, both the partners are trying to put their point and in doing so they are indirectly fighting. Possessiveness at some point is okay to deal with but over possessiveness definitely causes a lot of trouble between partners.
9- Dealing with the Child
The child is considered to be a mark of love in a married couple’s life, but sometimes it is this child that becomes the reason for most of their disagreements. The needs of the child are many and those have to be taken care of by both the parents but sometimes the parents do not know how to go about with the situation. One of them wants to raise their kid in a particular manner while other one does not agree with that. Another factor over here is discipline. Both the parents are sometimes not uniform in their way of imposing discipline in the child. The husband might be strict and the mother might be relaxed and vice versa. In such cases, fights are very natural. The couples start fighting as to whose decision should prevail and this leads to the beginning of a break in their relationship.
8- Dealing with in-laws
For a husband or wife who is not accepted in the family, dealing with the in laws can be very hectic. If they are far off then it is okay to deal with them but if they live nearby or in the family itself then that can be a problem. The problem between the husband and wife starts when the wife starts complaining to his husband about her in laws or maybe the husband starts cribbing about the way his mother in law treats him. Sometimes it may be possible that the husband does not say anything, but usually, the husband or wife, start taking sides of their families. The idea case should be that a husband and wife should be accepted in both the families, but this case is not so usual and it generally becomes a cause of their misunderstanding.
Making decisions is an important function that a couple has to do when they are married but sometimes, it is this process of decision making that leads to trouble. Sometimes even this cannot be decided that who is to make a particular decision, whether it’s the husband or the wife. In such cases fights take place which get worse. Sometimes one of the partners may take a decision but it may not be appreciated by the other person. In such cases arguments are inevitable and it can be solved only by proper discussion by both the partners.
6- Disagreement in sexual matters
Disagreement between sexual matters is also one of the reason which leads to fights between married couples. It may be that one of the partners is not feeling well that day, but the other partner, in spite of knowing this, insists upon the same. This is the place when the fights start. Disagreement among such matters is really a sensitive issue which has to be discussed very carefully in order to avoid misunderstandings. Intimacy is not something has is to be fought upon, instead it is a way to show their love for each other. This matter requires both the partners to sit and talk and arrive at a conclusion.
5- Disagreement in financial issues
The most common problem between a husband and wife is managing the money. This case is worst between couples in which one partner spends listlessly and the other partner is keen on saving money. Trouble arises when someday, one of the partners buys something expensive and the other one is not supportive of that. It may also be possible that if the wife is depended on his husband financially, she might make some demands relating to money which the husband is unable to fulfill. Money is a really important issue in a married couple’s life since they have their entire future in front of them. Managing money according to their needs and desires requires the couple to sit down and plan it all out.
Most often, even the tiniest things create trouble between partners. In the case of married couples, cleanliness can be an important issue since both of them live in the same house and the same room. While the wife for instance would want everything to be clean, neatly arranged and everything kept at a proper place, the husband might be carefree about all this and would leave everything scattered around the house and room. This is the point when the argument starts and sometimes it becomes a daily routine. In order to stop this, one of the other partners has to compromise.
3- Work Issues/ not giving enough time
Sometimes in the case of couples where one of them work or both of them do, they often complain that their partner does not give sufficient time to them and the family. Sometimes, only the husband works and he often returns late from work and straight away goes to bed. In such a case, the wife feels completely ignored and thinks that his husband is not keeping the family prior to his work. When both the couples work, they return late and have no means of communication during the entire day. This leads to communication loss and is the cause for petty fights gradually turning serious.
2- Lack of romance
When a couple freshlystarts dating, there is a heat of romance between them which is one of the reasons that leads them to get married, but many times couples complain that after marriage, that romance slowly starts fading away. This is the reason couples become cranky and start complaining about every small thing. A small thing which they could overlook earlier is suddenly a big issue. The lack of romance often loosens the bond which they had between them and the only solution is that both of them make an effort to bring back that romance in their lives.
1- Extra-Marital Affair
Sometimes, one of the partners starts getting suspicious of the other partner in case of an extra marital affair. The extra marital affair may be true or it may just be a misunderstanding. If it is just a suspicion without any proof, that causes most of the fights between couples where each of them is trying to prove the other person wrong. If it is an affair which has been disclosed or there is enough evidence to support it, then most of the times it leads to a divorce between the couple.

Here’s my second blog post about Rosenblatt Stadium. It’s a little bit of this and a little bit of that from 1964 to 1980.
The sign above stood until 1989, according to former stadium Jesse Cuevas. He said that through the years, neighborhood youths would use Johnny Rosenblatt’s face for target practice with their BB guns.
The Cardinals were the minor-league tenant at Municipal Stadium from 1949 to 1959. The Dodgers moved in for 1961 and 1962. It wasn’t until 1969 that the stadium finally welcomed its next minor-league team, the Omaha Royals, shown above.
The AAA Royals’ roster was filled with veteran players, many who had been in the big leagues and many had developed interesting personalities. In our book, “Rosenblatt Stadium: Omaha’s Diamond on the Hill,” McKeon is quoted as saying, “Up until 2003, the two most enjoyable years I spent in baseball were when we were winning pennants in Omaha. To take such a collection of – I don’t want to call them misfits – different personalities and accomplish what we did was very satisfying.”
Among the incidents in the book: Pitcher Bill Faul once bit the head off a parakeet to win a bet, and McKeon once saw Faul eat a frog!
Here are a few College World Series photos:
Don’t forget the arguments. This reminds me of the scene in “Bull Durham.”
How many of us had moments like this?
Fan No. 1 million!
Baseball wasn’t the only sport played at Rosenblatt. The New York Giants and Minnesota Vikings played an exhibition game there on Sept. 11, 1965.
The Omaha Mustangs played at Rosenblatt from 1964 to 1972. Financial problems led to the team’s demise in 1978.
Longtime Omahans, check out the advertisement in the background. Remember Philips?
Taking care of the stadium was always a big job, and Rosenblatt was lucky to have good employees. The first grounds manager was Frank Mancuso. Below is a 1960 photo of him and a mongrel pup who made its home at the stadium.
Here’s a creative way of dealing with water on the field…
Jesse Cuevas, groundskeeper and crew chief at Rosenblatt from 1987 until the park closed, started in 1969 shagging balls for the Royals. He retired on April 13, 2012, and the Omaha City Council dedicated that day in his honor.
Stay tuned for more posts on Rosenblatt. But if you can’t wait, you can find more photos and the stories behind them in our book “Rosenblatt Stadium: Omaha’s Diamond on the Hill.” The book is wonderfully and lovingly written by our very own Steve Pivovar.

In 2008 we were asked by our master woodworker craftsman and friend Bob Bryce of Innisfail to make a stained glass insert for some Cremation Urns that he was making. The first one shows the Alberta Rose with a light blue sky glass with the solder being left silver, inserted into a light finished oak urn. Notice the exquisite dove tail construction and beautiful finish of the urn.
The next picture is the same Alberta Rose design, however we used a sunset glass along with black patina finish for the solder. Unfortunately Bob Bryce no longer creates masterpieces in his woodworking studio.

A United States appeals court has set a Jan. 7 argument date in the Texas abortion case, and the panel will hear the state’s bid to push a legal question about enforcement to the state supreme court.
The challengers of Texas’s near total ban on abortion contend the move will delay a merits ruling in the U.S. District Court.
Earlier this month, the U.S. Supreme Court left in place a ban on most abortions in Texas but allowed a legal challenge to proceed, with the fate of the Republican-backed measure that allows private citizens to enforce it still hanging in the balance.
“The court has decided that oral argument is appropriate before ruling on the state’s motion to certify or alternate motion to set a briefing schedule, and the response thereto. Consequently, the argument will be held at 9 a.m. in New Orleans on Friday, January 7, 2022″, a filing in the 5th U.S. Circuit Court said on Monday.
Circuit Judge Stephen Higginson wrote in dissent, saying the court’s move to hear argument “adds impermissible delay to the vindication of the constitutional rights of Texas women in federal court. I would deny the defendants’ motions and remand this case to the district court as soon as possible, so that what remains of the plaintiffs’ lawsuit can proceed.”
The Texas law bans abortions at around six weeks, a point when many women do not yet realize they are pregnant, with no exception for pregnancies resulting from rape or incest.
The law enables private citizens to sue anyone who performs or assists a woman in getting an abortion after embryo cardiac activity is detected. Individual citizens can be awarded a minimum of US$10,000 for successful lawsuits. The administration of U.S. President Joe Biden has called this a “bounty.”
The measure is one of a series of restrictive Republican-backed abortion laws pursued in states in recent years.

Anyway, we got up fairly early for a Sunday and headed out to the nursery to buy plants for our yard. We had gone the day before, and scoped things out, so we had a fairly good idea of what we wanted. Some shrubbery (bring me a shrubbery!), a bunch of herbs, some vegetables, although it is a bit late to be planting vegetables, and a few other things.
We came home and planted everything before it got too hot. It felt good to be out working in the yard again, and having a place to grow stuff. We got everything planted then went and had some tacos.
Later in the afternoon, Malida sat outside with the plants to make sure they were doing ok. We like how the yard has turned out.
In the evening, I started reading a book somewhat about the funeral industry. It's called "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes: And Other Lessons from the Crematory". It's pretty good.

Banco Santander SA intends to close about 450 branches in Spain this year, more than one in 10, as the lender steers customers into digital banking to cut costs and bolster profitability.
â€œSpainâ€™s financial sector is facing a period of major change,â€ Country Head Rami Aboukhair told employees in an internal memo announcing the closures. â€œThe current economic context, greater regulatory requirements and the evolution of client behavior toward new technology make it necessary to accelerate our commercial transformation.â€
As many as 450 branches will be involved in a â€œconcentrationâ€ leading to larger offices, according to the memo whose contents were confirmed by a spokeswoman. That represents about 13 percent of Santanderâ€™s 3,467 branches in Spain. Most of the affected branches employ fewer than four people, the bank said.
The Comisiones Obreras union said on its website that Santander has informed it of plans to close between 425 and 450 branches this year. It expects further details, including on job cuts, when it meets with Santander officials next week.
Spanish banks are under pressure from low interest rates that have squeezed revenue from lending and from too much competition.
The country boasts more than 31,000 branches, even though more than 20 lenders have been disappeared since 2012.
In the â€œabsence of consolidation, cost-cutting in Spain is one of the very few levers leftâ€ for banks to maintain or increase earnings, Stefan Nedialkov, a Citigroup Inc. analyst, said in a note to clients.
Santander is seeking to shave 3 billion euros ($3.4 billion) from expenses by the end of 2018, including by doubling the number of customers who interact with the bank by Internet, Chief Executive Officer Jose Antonio Alvarez said in a presentation in September.
The bank had 15 million so-called digital customers as of June last year, he said.
Santanderâ€™s Spanish business, which employs a whopping number of 24,000 employees, is the lenderâ€™s third-largest market and contributes remarkable amount of around 12 percent to the lenderâ€™s profit.
Net income in 2015 for the unit rose to 977 million euros from 827 million euros a year earlier on lower loan-loss provisions.Net interest income, the difference between what banks charge for loans and pay for deposits, fell 5.4 percent.
The stock fell 1.9 percent to 3.80 euros at 3:12 p.m. in Madrid trading. The shares were down 17 percent this year.

President sees Perseverance homes
15 October 2010 |
Oct 15, 2010 -- Before the allocation of houses to families starts in December, President James Michel yesterday visited the estate under development at Perseverance.
The President said after that he is proud and happy to see the dream of a housing estate on Perseverance island starting to come true.
President Michel, Land Use and Housing Minister Jacquelin Dugasse, principal secretary Christian Lionnet and other government officials joined members of the public to visit the new units under construction, during an open day to mark Habitat Week.
Mr Michel said reclaiming the island cost a lot of money and drew criticism, but the investment is now proving to have been worthwhile.
The director-general for community development, Mr Dan Frichot, briefed the President about the landscaping of the place. The housing units are of two and three bedrooms.
"I see the project as a realization of a vision whose aim is to serve the people of Seychelles, which we did despite limited resources," said the President, adding that the housing estate will be the start of a new area of Victoria.
The construction of the houses slowed down because of the global financial crisis but the President pointed out that the government has done its best.
He disagreed with suggestions that the government is rushing to give out the houses because elections are around the corner, saying it is following its laid-out programme and will continue to do so even after the elections.
The open day was an occasion for the Public Utilities Corporation (PUC) and the National Energy Commission (NEC) to display ways to harness solar energy.

Acts 27:44 (ANIV)
The rest [of the ship’s company] were to get there [safely ashore] on planks or on pieces of the ship. In this way everyone reached land in safety.
TIME OF DAY:
Verse 39 says “When daylight came” (after the night), so this scene is set in the very early morning.
Although I have set this scene in the early morning, the storm clouds are completely obscuring the sun, so that it looks like a night scene. The storm’s lightning provides the bright white light of the scene.
In the foreground, on the beach is the apostle Paul. Various people can be seen in the waves, dragging themselves to shore.
Verse 41 tells us that “the stern was broken to pieces by the pounding of the surf.” So clearly at this time the storm was still raging. You can see I have drawn a powerful wave smashing into the stern (back) of the ship. I enjoyed drawing & colouring up the sky & pounding, energetic waves in this scene.
This picture was actually first drawn for one of my “Bad Day” mug designs, but I soon realised that I could colour it up into a dramatic scene worthy of inclusion in the Bible Cartoons collection!
The colouring of Paul’s skin, hair & clothes is taken from earlier cartoons, most notably Acts 09 – Paul in Jerusalem – Scene 01 – Advocate. I like to use similar colouring between different scenes & between different stories which depicting the same character, since that maintains colour continuity across all the narratives. Having said that, I will often adjust colours slightly due to the local lighting effects of any given scene. In this scene the apostle Paul is depicted in quite dark greens, a result of being soaked to the skin & only illuminated by the lightning in this dark, stormy environment.
Notice the frayed edges of Paul’s outer robe, near his feet, which illustrate the violence of the storm on his clothes.
Some searching on the internet provided pictures of ships from the right region & era for this scene. Notice the mast has had it’s top broken off in my picture.
I researched the geology & nature of the beaches of Malta to help me select suitable colours for the beach, although the pale yellow rocks & beach can hardly be made out in the gloom of the stormy conditions! According to the geological map of Malta the region of St. Thomas Bay (a large bay in the South of Malta, where this scene is set) is Middle Globigerina Limestone. This pale yellow rock weathers into gentle slopes, rather than the underlying, harder Coralline Limestone, which forms impressive, high angle cliffs.
Notes about the Globigerina Limestone Formation, for those interested!
“2.4.2. Globigerina Limestone Formation
Murray (1890) was the first to use this name and followed by other authors. The thickness of this formation varies from 25 to 60 meters. It consists of a sequence of a yellow pale micritic limestone subdivided into 3 members: Lower Globigerina Limestone, Middle Globigerina Limestone and Upper Globigerina Limestone (Félix, 1973). The limit between the Lower Globigerina Limestone and the Middle Globigerina Limestone is marked by a phosphatized hardground. A level rich in phosphate pebbles separates the Middle and the Upper Globigerina Limestone (Fig. 2.6).
The base of the Lower Globigerina Limestone coincides with a horizon rich in echinoids like Scutella. This member consists of yellow cream limestone in massive banks. Locally, very bioturbated levels occur, shown by a honeycomblike structure. The top of this member is covered by a phosphatized hardground of about 15 centimeters thickness. This hardground covers levels (1-3) of phosphatized pebbles and fossils, like molluscs, bivalves, shark teeth (e.g.: Carcharodon megalodon) and solitary corals.
The Middle Globigerina Limestone has a thickness which reaches 16 meters and consists of white to yellow pale marly limestones. It contains rare macrofossils like bivalves (Chlamys, Flabellipecten). This member locally possesses horizons which contain phosphate pebbles. The number of horizons varies between 0 and 4. The top of this member is marked by a level which is very rich in phosphate pebbles and fossils. This level has a thickness which reaches one meter and it may be duplicated. The fossil content is the same as of the banks underneath the hardground.
Finally the Upper Globigerina Limestone has a thickness which reaches maximally 18 meters. It consists of sandy limestones with a fauna which consists especially of foraminifera and bivalves. The macrofauna is very sparse. This member is marked by an interval of blue marls which are very similar to the overlying Blue Clay Formation. The thickness of this interval is about 2 meters. Then the limit with the Blue Clay Formation is transitional.”

Will We See the Same Revenue for NY Online Betting as with Retail?
After almost three years of in-person betting at retail sportsbooks, New York sports betting online has gone live ahead of the NFL playoffs.
New Yorkers have option to bet in-person and online, and with the Super Bowl, March Madness and the major league baseball season coming in the next three months, the online space could see incredible numbers in its first quarter.
What Does Going Live with Online Sports Betting Mean for Retail?
In reality, it doesn’t mean anything in terms of its availability. These places will not be closing, but at the same time, it does make them much more invaluable to the operators and therefore, we may not see as much business come through here than we previously did.
With retail betting, there is a lack of promotions and free bets as it is all done in person rather than online. At the same time, the odds rarely change, as it doesn’t give you much of a chance to see odds from other sportsbooks, whereas online betting allows you to compare and pick up free bets regularly.
As proven in online betting states across the country, however, one thing is for certain: more people will bet online than in-person.
Will New York’s Online Space Generate More Than Retail?
Logically, you would assume that with much greater access to more of the population, there would be a significant rise in customers and revenue. However, the 51% tax rate that the state will take from the online sportsbooks’ revenue does leave a lot of math to be done and questions to be asked.
Yes, the state will see people betting online more than in-person and see a rise in overall participation in betting. However, the 51% tax rate will bring the margins down greatly, but in reality, given how anyone 21 years or older can bet anywhere in New York, the overall popularity of online sports betting should still mean it beats that of retail revenue.
To put it in perspective, Arizona opened with seven online sportsbooks in September 2021 and took a reported $291.2 million in wagers in the opening month, which equaled $32.3 million in revenue. To compare, the country’s busiest market, New Jersey, took nine months to surpass that figure when it eventually reported $385.3 million.
New York sports betting had 17 million online transactions in the opening weekend. So, yeah, there will be a lot of money made.
The only issue is the 51% tax rate, which will see profitability take years to come and perhaps never reach the overall figures of states listed above. However, in terms of surpassing retail sportsbooks, that should come with ease over time.

Produced by Vidhu Vinod Chopra and Rajkumar Hirani, the film is directed by Bejoy Nambiar from a script by Chopra and Abhijat Joshi.
“Vidhu Vinod Chopra approached me for the role. He was very keen that I do the role of Danish Ali in the film. I met Abhijat and I found the story quite compelling.
“My character is a hard-boiled law enforcement officer. He is someone who deals with violence on a daily basis. It is a world I am not familiar with, so it took some amount of research and training,” Farhan, who turned 41 today, told PTI in an interview.
Farhan, who directed Bachchan 10 years ago in ‘Lakshya’, said working with the megastar, who is seen as a wheelchair-bound chess player in the trailer, was a great experience.
“You get to learn so much by just being with him (Bachchan). The film is predominantly about these two characters, so we have a lot of scenes together. We both are bound by a bond in the film and find redemption in each other. The story is well-written and also has action and romance. It is a complete film and we enjoyed telling this story,” Farhan said.
The actor began his journey almost 15 years ago as a director with ‘Dil Chahta Hai’, a film that set trends for its youthful, contemporary look. Farhan feels the film helped him build a successful career.
“When I started the film, it was not that I wanted to change something or set any trend. I just wanted to tell this story which was very close to my heart. But yes it was a great start for me,” he said.
Farhan, who has also found success as a singer, director and producer, has his hands full this year with the release of ‘Wazir’ and ‘Dil Dhadakne Do’, a multi-starrer directed by sister Zoya and produced by his Excel Entertainment. He is also co-producing Shah Rukh Khan-starrer ‘Raees’.
The actor denied that ‘Dil Dhadakne Do’, about a dysfunctional family, had anything to do with his real-life bond with Zoya.
“Not really, our relationship has no bearing on the story though it is about a dysfunctional family. Reema Kagti writes stories that are fresh and interesting.”
‘Dil Dhadakne Do’ will mark Farhan and Zoya’s third collaboration after ‘Luck By Chance’ and ‘Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara’.
Farhan’s last directorial venture was ‘Don 2’ in 2011. When asked whether his acting assignments were keeping him away from direction, the actor said, “I will direct but I would not like to commit a date. The reason I am not directing is because my hands are full at the moment. I am enjoying the journey. I would rather follow my inner voice than focus on what is being asked of me.”
The actor said ‘Rock On 2’ is happening but he will not be directing it.
Farhan, who runs ‘Men Against Rape and Discrimination’ (MARD) campaign to raise awareness about crime against women, recently became the first man to be appointed as UN Women Goodwill Ambassador for South Asia.
“He for She is a global campaign by UN. I was already involved with MARD when they approached me. It is a great responsibility. It is to involve more men in creating solution for gender equality. It is true that as celebrities we reach out to more people but everyone can contribute in bringing a change.”

I like how they have healthier choices, and the diversity of the clientele impressed me in this part of the south side. I went to brunch with a friend and was blown away by what my friend referred to as a “biscuit.” It was delicious! It was moist and cake-like, with a high polished finish. I’d gladly take another of whatever it was. I thought it was reasonably priced, and the service was excellent. I’d like to return and try more stuff.
Review by Diva164 on January 17, 2018 Great vibes, a welcoming environment, and a diverse crowd!! I paid a visit this past weekend while on a personal retreat and was glad I did. The ambiance is calm, quiet, and welcoming. The staff was polite and welcoming, and the food and tea were wonderful!! It’s the ideal spot for reading, working, and socializing.

We've Installed over 650 solar systems to date!
SEANZ analysed data from 21 residential solar power systems installed on New Zealand homes.
Real performance data from these solar power systems has shown in every scenario the return on investment figure (the lowest being 5.42% ROI) was higher than the current average bank interest rates of 2.5%.
Three key factors that affected the financial results included;
The upfront cost of the solar power system – because of the wide range in prices, participants that shopped around gained better financial results. The self-consumption rate – those who installed timers and utilised their solar power during the day off-set expensive electricity costs. High electricity prices – people with high electricity prices benefitted more.
For some participants installing solar power it was largely a financial choice, but even those participants recognised that there were several other benefits of going solar, primarily environmental conservation and energy independence.
Design Supply & Install
We use reliable high quality products.
- Trina Solar PV Panels
We have also done installs with ABB, Fronius, Solar Edge & LG Chem and more!
We first reached out to one of the national franchised solar companies and it took 3 months for them to return our call, when we called back they sent a rep out who seemed to be adamant that we finance our system to make it “easier” we told him that we were not in need of finance but he still insisted on talking about it. We then called AJ’s and within 3 days You were out at our property doing a measure and later that day a quote arrived. 2 weeks later we had the system installed and have been getting power bills of $45 a month instead of the usual $250 plus. We are on track to make our initial investment back in under 4 years.
We found the staff from AJ’s to be knowledgeable, efficient and really good to deal with

Yes I have seen the video. If I'm not mistaken, it's a clip from Empire of the City. I like some of what is presented in that video, mostly the
stuff about the last 100 years or so. This part about jesus is just embarrassing though.
I have read many books that elaborate on this and many other alternative Jesus theories, all of which have nothing but anecdotal and speculative
reasoning as evidence - no historical texts, no ancient manuscripts, no oral history, nothing that links them with the past in any way. These
'alternative theories' about Jesus are contemporary fabrications which are either dreamed up by people who claim to have 'special knowledge'
(think Madam Blavatsky, Edgar Cayce etc etc), OR are claimed to be great underground secrets passed down through the centuries by occult societies etc
(think Dan Brown, Jordan Maxwell etc etc). Or a combination of the two...
One thing all these theories have in common is misrepresenting historical facts to suit a new agenda/narrative. They always rely on bending the facts
and figures, say, 40 years or more to line up unrelated events and historical personages, and then they say - "Ohh history is a shady thing, we
can't rely on things that have an historical basis, but we can be certain that this new interpretation of unrelated things with no historical basis
is not shady at all!". Just silly.
Well, for one, overturning literally hundreds of years of painstaking research means very little when its been bastardized over and over ad
infinitum throughout history to begin with so who's to say it was right to the 't' to begin with? Everything based on records - records destroyed,
records altered, records made up, best guessed translations of records, etc.
Speaking from a historical and intellectual point of view - this is simply not the case. Why do people have such warped ideas of how the bible came to
To say that the bible has been bastardised 'throughout history' is just plain uninformed. The bible we have today does not come from monks who
copied it and copied it 'throughout history'. That was the old Catholic vulgate and the old King James translation. No one uses them any more
because their edits and mistranslations have become apparant (even though they are relatively minor). The modern bible translations we have today come
directly from collections of literally 1000s of manuscripts that existed 100s of years before the Roman Church ever existed.
This site gives a good general overview of the vast areas of research that have gone into
Textual Analysis and Biblical Criticism
Also check out the Wiki entries for Higher
I don't advocate these particular approaches to studying the Bible, except to say that A LOT of work has been done to scrutinise and dismantle the
bible, and still it performs exceptionally well as a reliable historical resource.
I'm not defending the bible or the traditional story of jesus either, I'm just giving a comparison of a theory with a sound historical basis and
many lifetime's worth of work behind it, and a theory that has zip, and continues to have zip, because there is zip to confirm it except the
speculations of a few axe-grinders and soothsayers who have little to no regard for actual scholarship.
Not blasphemy. Just a theory without so much as a pegleg to stand on.

PANAMA CITY BEACH -- Protesters stood outside of ZooWorld in Panama City Beach Sunday fighting for animal rights.
At noon protesters were holding signs saying Zoo World needs to take more care of the animals.
They believe that the employees need to expand the cages and feed the animals better.
This isn't the first time ZooWorld has seen their share of protestors. Last year, several protests took place on the sidewalk in front of the zoo.
Protester Gabe Benson said, "I think it's very important. I think as humans we have this amazing gift of speech and these animals don't. I think it's our duty to speak out for them and give them a voice because they don't have a saying in how they live."
ZooWorld employees were unable to speak on camera but said that everyone has the right to their opinion and that they are staying positive.

Superstar Rajinikanth's 'Petta' trailer released on December 28, 2018, at 10:30 AM on all social media platforms, and within a period of three hours the audience have viewed it more than a million times, that is a record in itself.
The film is helmed by young director Karthik Subburaj who is experienced in directing various short films and now is a very established director in Tamil film industry. The electrifying film 'Petta', apart from superstar Rajinikanth, stars Vijay Sethupathi, Simran, Trisha Krishnan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui in pivotal roles.
After viewing the trailer, one can say that Rajinikanth with his appearance and mind-blowing performance has just mesmerised his fans. After starring in films such as 'Kabali', 'Kaala' and the recently released '2.0', the audience was craving for a stylish and vintage Rajinikanth like his previous films such as 'Padaiyappa', 'Baasha', and 'Annamalai' that were massive mega hits of the superstar post the 90s and 2000s.
The 'Petta' trailer with its action-packed performances and mind-blowing sequences has the viewers hooked and wanting for more. Going by the comments on social media, netizens see the comeback of a stylish and vintage Rajinikanth that resembles many previous characters portrayed by the star in other films.
Rajinikanth's classic costumes, dialogues along with a fabulous screenplay add to the landmark style of our very own 'Thalaivar'. A certain scene from the 'Petta' trailer have netizens wowed as it resembles the first film of the superstar titled 'Apoorva Raagangal'. The film is a basic black and white in nature that released way back in 1975 and was loved by the audience.
The dearly-loved superstar is known for his iconic sunglasses scene, which was portrayed in films such as 'Annamalai', 'Padaiyappa' and 'Arunachalam' and thus resembling the same, his upcoming release 'Petta' has a few iconic shots too.
Talking about resemblances, back in a 1980s film, 'Billa', Rajinikanth was seen using a revolver gun distinct manner, which makes a comeback in 'Petta' wherein the superstar is seen using the similar kind of revolver gun in the same style.
Another instance, where Rajinkanth's old iconic films make a comeback is when in the 'Petta' trailer, the 'Thalaivar' fans can be seen riding bicycles after watching his film 'Annamalai'.
As it goes without saying, punch dialogues and Rajinikanth cannot be separated at any time and so his unique way of dialogue delivery, modulation and expression will most undoubtedly not only get massive applause in the theatres but also whistle blows, dance and celebrations.
Director Karthik Subburaj who himself is a fan of Rajinikanth, and grew up watching his films has been able to come up with a perfect blend of Rajinikanth avatar's in this film that is sure to appeal to all kinds of audience.Ever since the trailer was released, social media is filled with praise of the 'Petta' trailer. The film is slated to hit the theatres on January 10, and one can say that the day will be a feast for the 'Thalaivar' fans before the harvest festival Pongal.

My son Will, who’s almost 3, and I love fish. We both love the many flavors of it, and I love how nutritious it is.
Mahi mahi is one of my favorites, but it can be quite pricey, so pick some up when it’s on sale (it was last week!) and try this. The crunchy and moist coconut topping is fabulous with the firm, but light, white fish. Serve with a fruited salsa — Mango Salsa, perhaps.
In terms of nutrition, mahi mahi is “low in saturated fat and a good source of vitamin B12, phosphorus, and potassium,” according to U.S. Seafood Facts from the NOAA Fisheries. It’s also relatively low in mercury (more than cod, less than halibut – nowhere near as much as swordfish). It is a source of omega 3 fatty acids, but it doesn’t not as much as other fish like salmon and halibut.
Did you know that the name mahi mahi is Hawaiian and means strong strong?
More Fish Recipes:
Coconut Crusted Mahi Mahi
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup sweetened flaked coconut
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- cooking oil spray
- 4 mahi mahi fillets, about 6 oz each
- sea salt and pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
- In a small bowl, combine the panko, coconut, flour and butter.
- Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with cooking oil spray. Place the mahi mahi fillets on the baking sheet. Sprinkle liberally with sea salt and pepper. Bake for five minutes.
- Remove mahi mahi from the oven and drizzle with olive oil. Divide the coconut mixture between the fillets and pat down lightly, covering the entire top. Place the pan back in the oven and cook for about 10 minutes, until the crust is golden and the fish flakes with a fork.
- Let the mahi mahi rest for 10 minutes before serving.

The Evolution of Jazz; 2; West African Influence, Part One
The evolution of the American market. Is a tape recorded feature presented by the Lowell Institute cooperative broadcasting Council Nat Hentoff associate editor of Downbeat Magazine discusses the growth of jazz from its roots in Europe and considers the music as well as the sociological forces that shaped it. Mr Hentoff. Last week the thesis was advanced that the earliest roots of jazz are to be found in the music of West Africa. That section of the continent from which a large proportion of the first slaves were brought. The difficulties of tracing African sources were gone into Among them by the fact that African music itself
has changed so in three hundred twenty five years that any parallels with present day the old recordings made in West Africa I tended it also. Not enough research has yet been done to make any of the cultural linkages that seem to exist conclusive. There are however sufficient indications more of which will be examined this week that they were sort of rivals of certain African elements of musical style that strongly influenced the growth of American Negro folk music in the South before the Civil War. In all cases it maintained that these stylistic survivals are a matter of racial inheritance cultural patterns survive on the basis of social habit and tradition rather than on biological characteristics. So that as mentioned at the beginning of the last hour musicians who grew up in negro districts of New Orleans in the early days of jazz acquired the jazz language from the beginning whereas those know the negroes who grew up in regions where no jazz
was ever heard failed to recognize and understand the early jazz idiom. The African isms that survive did not persist in their original framework. Tribal cultures were obliterated in the United States really in the history of the negro here. What remained as Charles Edward Smith as noted was the retention of certain aspects of musical style not their identification with an ancestral homeland. The comparison was made last week with a white mountain singer who would say that his ballad rate was quote a way of singing unquote not referring it to the British Isles are taking full cognizance of its antecedents there in his thinking about it. If it isn't I don't think ever did think about where it originally came from. These stylistic elements adapted to themselves elements of the richly heterogeneous music to be found in the South before the Civil War. And in turn the evolving Afro American music.
Adapted to the resulting hybridization. So there was a constant cross-fertilization of influences that led to the growth of the uniquely American musical language. Jazz. In listing and illustrating the main distinguishing characteristics of West African music. We mention the three last week. One was the dominance of percussion The other was the constant and highly complex use of. Multiple meter of poly rhythm. More than one rhythm at the same time and the third was the use of beat melodic accents a kind of syncopation that is much more involved much more productive of complimentary rhythms than is the relatively simpler syncopation to be found in European music. The fourth marked characteristic of African music as listed by Richard Waterman professor at Northwestern who
did the musicological notes for the author as Albert's album folk. And Cathay music of with folk tribal and Cathay music of West Africa. The fourth characteristic is overlapping common response patterns and typical song patterning whereby a leader sings phrases which alternate with phrases sung by a chorus. This is known all over the world but nowhere he continues is this form so important as in Africa where almost all songs are constructed in this manner a peculiarity of the African common response pattern found in frequently elsewhere is that the phrase sung by the chorus regularly begins while the soloist is still singing here but later on his part begins his phrase before the chorus is finished. The extent of this overlapping varies according to the overall rhythm scheme of the song. And this was a characteristic by the way of much pre-Civil War Afro-American folk music as documented by the
observers of the time this overlapping call and response pattern. Here are a group of Gold Coast children showing the customary call and response pattern. The translation of the first song is Bird Bird Bird wicked bird Sergeant-Major bird wicked bird followed by the eloquent point. I mean Larry don't come near for I am not prepared to die now. The kind of comment on West African traffic hazards. Got
them. And here recorded in Brandon Mississippi. Well the Library of Congress is the call and response pattern as the children. And then many years later as this is going on.
There was a guy there a stick of African music that was especially important and for it again and do the research work and articles of Ernest Borneman.
This has to do with the fact that the West African language is different from languages we are accustomed to in that there is a third element of articulation beside the vowels and consonants. And that third element is based simultaneously on pitch tambour and timing. That is why as Herskovitz has indicated in most African languages the same word spoken in different pitches has different meanings. There is a three syllable word in front of the Gold Coast language that is spelled okay w a d u. When the word is pronounced with middle tone on the first two syllables and high pitch on the third it means banana. The same or n when pronounced with a middle tone on the first syllable only and high pitch on the last two means wild ox.
This further explains the truth beneath some of the legends concerning so-called drum language. You know the times and kind of movie in which one tribe transmits a message to a tribe hundreds of miles away by means of a relay of drums. Well in a sense that can happen if a language depends on pitch. The bridle and timing for meaning that it is possible to reproduce pitch and stress values of words on a drum head there's a limit of course to how complicated a set of words can be reproduced so the drum talk consists of pre-arranged words whose pitch and stress values are easily understood. So while African drums are not the equivalent of The Telegraph sending messages over a great distance they can beat out praise names of gods and kings they can signal the coming of the enemy or the approach of important guests and the like. Changes of pitch on a drum head I made by changing the pressure on the drum
skin and changes of a bridle. I refactored by vibrating the knees while the drummer of the drum clasped tightly to his lap. In other words then the drums of Africa. I'm not cold drums but talking drums in that their sound is an imitation of human speech which can be picked up by trained interpreters. Here is an illustration of the talking drums of West Africa. Got Together they talked to one then the other TVA because they live with the thought of you live with those. Thank you for all the drama. The found here among some of them was a very very very well thank you said
but. In view of this characteristic of the West African language the musical nature of speech. There is no strict division between music and speech. In West African life as a result one of those investigations of shown the average standard of musical talent is extraordinarily high. Drumming singing and dancing are practiced universally. Children learn to discern subtleties of rhythm melody and tone color as parts of their language. Music making takes a little more skill but is never considered as an art. Before examining further this thoroughly functional nature of music in African life I'd like to point out that this close relationship between speech and music. Resulted in the
later existence of the extremely vocal nature of jazz music an aspect I'll be coming back to frequently. Jazz instrumentalist tend to play as they would sing and jazz vocalist tend to sing. As if they were playing an instrument. Billie Holiday once said in an interview that when she sang she tried to sound like a trumpet or a tenor sax particularly at that time like the tenor saxophonist Lester Young. And Lester young interne once said that when he played his tenor. He tried to sing like. Need to try to play rather like as he would if he were singing the chorus. Or if someone like Billie Holiday was singing it. Now here is an example of the two together on a record and noted the vocal nature of Lester Young's tenor and the instrumental nature of Miss Holladay's voice. Yes.
I'm with. You. Another example perhaps an even clearer one would be this vocal
chorus by Louis Armstrong a record made in the 20s one of the earliest recorded examples of scat singing which illustrates very clearly the instrumental nature of Louie's vocalizing. And later on in the. Play of his cornet and the trombone in the clarinet. There is a play of voices as well as instrumental. Tambourines. Thank you for being here. Maybe it will be a good thing. Returning to West African music one man underlines the fact
and I'm quoting now from his articles in the record changer an anthropologist looks in jazz. That music played a consistently major part in daily West African life. There was no division between music as an art and music as a normal function of diurnal existence like working or praying or playing. What we do know he says with a fair degree of accuracy is the strictly functional nature of 17th century West African music and the complete absence of any music in the European sense of the term. Our West African music from the Gold Coast to the Ivory Coast had a strict purpose in the cultural pattern of the community and each type of song was used by one group within the community and by that group alone to exert an effect on another group around the gods who control the affairs of the group.
That's the rows the seven or eight basic types of song which regulated the community's pattern of culture. There were songs used by the young men to influence the young women songs of courtship songs of challenge songs of scorn. There were songs used by mothers to come and educate their children. Well a buys plays songs and song games. There were songs used by the order men to prepare the adolescent boys for a manhood initiation songs legends to perpetuate the history and tradition of the community. Epic songs ballads of famous ancestors their songs used by the religious and hierarchical heads of the community to keep its members under control. Ritual songs to inspire feelings of mystery and solemnity are submissiveness as well as community songs to arouse common emotions and a sense of joint participation. There are songs used by the royals to arouse courage in battle and instill fear in the
enemy battles songs ballads commemorating past victories legends of dead heroes their songs used by priests and doctors to influence nature medicine's on's rain songs bewitching songs Evil's ons to hurt and kill the enemy as well as good songs to make friends arouse love and heal diseases. And there were songs used by workers to make their task easier work songs to stress the rhythm of labor group songs to synchronize collectively executed work team songs sung by one team to challenge and satirize the other. The point that has to be examined is what happened to this tradition of African music and of its natural place in daily life when the slaves were brought to America on American soil Bornemann continued as they came into contact with the representatives of well-nigh all European nations and of all classes within these
nations. In addition to American Indians of Chinese railroad workers restaurant keepers and laundry men. Finally within each of the national groups of slave owner is the contact of the negroes with the cultures of their European Masters varied in intensity. It's nodes and it's social history of the negro that. House servants and field hands had anything but equal opportunities to know the customs of their masters That's right from the beginning. All those African songs and dances died out that had no functional need in the pattern of slave and master relations there remained those songs and dances which fitted into the new world a new cultural and economic pattern of the new world. Work Songs remain love songs lullabies place on the song games animals on's wedding and funerals on this and a few odd songs to make Magic songs medicine songs in the witching songs of other types. Among the songs that died out swiftly there were the initiation songs the legends
to perpetuate the history and tradition of the African home community. The epic songs and ballads of famous ancestors. The ritual songs to inspire feelings of mystery. The community's songs to arouse common emotions and a sense of joint participation. The battle songs the ballads of past victories and legends of dead heroes and all the other African isms that found no parallel in American Negro culture. But out of the contact with the right with white red and yellow populations. And the process of adapting their music to the negroes own purpose own your wealth of Afro American music arose and it is with this music that we are especially concerned for it is out of that tradition that the whole development from spirituals through blues to jazz took its food and stamina. In attempting a survey. Of Afro American music before 1865. It's necessary to indicate briefly the
social context in which this music was produced. Treatment of the slaves in varied considerably throughout the south. But in general it can be said that there was a large proportion of brutality brutality that probably did not seem at all he human from the point of view of the plantation owners since slaves were considered as chattel as property. Very rarely as human beings of full sensibility. The first slaves arrive in 16 19 when a Dutch man of war landed 20 in Virginia. He says that between 60 and 80 in 1786 two million one hundred thirty thousand slaves were sent to the British colonies in America and one million eight hundred fifty thousand between 1776 and eighteen hundred. Brian Edwards in his history of the West Indies writes that between 1790 an eighteen hundred seventy four thousand annually was shipped from Africa. And eighteen hundred eight the slave trade was made illegal in America yet over two and a half million slaves were landed within the next fifty years.
After slavery. As it was termed going back to the concept of the slave as property the civil code of Louisiana stated that a slave as one who was in the power of the master to whom he belongs the master may sell him dispose of his person his industry and his labor. He can do nothing possess nothing nor acquire anything but what must belong to his master. There were quite frequent revolts with very limited degrees of success according to one source 130 I'm to rebalance between 16 17 18 65 and as a result in many areas in the south the slaves were kept under rigid discipline. But as bring in his book The French Quarter writes that in pre-Civil War New Orleans was a usual practice among slave owners to lock the slaves in their quarters. Soon after sunset with armed sentinels posted around the building to see that none attempted to escape before daybreak and since the fear of the negro uprising was omnipresent in early New Orleans and
Louisiana among other places in the south many laws were promulgated by the French governors to keep both the free and the slave negroes from assembling in smaller groups and to limit as much as possible the negroes relationship with his fellows. The 13th article of governor of the end the black code for a bad sleigh is belonging to different masters to gather in crowds I quote from the code either by day or by night under the pretext of a wedding or for any other cause either at the dwelling or on the grounds of one of the Masters and much less on the highways or in secluded places unquote. Slaves who transgressed were whipped. And for frequent of senses of this nature the code provided that the offenders be branded and should there be aggravating circumstances. Capital punishment may be applied. At the discretion. Of our judges unquote. These laws and customs were liberalized in the Louisiana region when America
took over the territory because the new authorities recognized the value of recreation and a measure of social intercourse and keeping the slaves contented with his role. And through most of the South tacit if not always vocal encouragement was given by the plantation owners and field dances to music making among the slaves. For one thing the work songs obviously increase the productivity of the field hands and ease off their tensions somewhat and the spirituals and ring shouts utilized energies and fervor that might otherwise have been turned to revolt. It's well to remember also that the slaves came from a culture where music was a natural and important part of daily activity. Music became more important during slavery because it helped allay the misery and frequent harshness of the existence learning in any sort of education for the slaves was discouraged with some exceptions on most plantations largely through the fear that an educated slave would be more inclined to revolt and to lead revolts and also because slaves again were regarded more as property as beasts of
burden and fieldwork than as educate about human beings. In some states as a matter of fact laws were passed to forbid the teaching of any written language.

The Former Executive Secretary of National Insurance Scheme (NHIS), Femi Thomas has made a no-case submission in his criminal trial at the Federal High Court in Lagos.
Concise News recalls that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) arraigned him on March 15, 2016. He pleaded not guilty.
It alleged that the former Commissioner for Health in Ekiti State conspired with his wife, Funmi, to make a cash payment of $2.2million to Ibitoye John Bamidele without going through a financial institution.
Thomas, along with a Bureau De Change operator Kabiru Sidi, was re-arraigned before Justice Ayokunle Faji on March 8.
Sidi was charged for allegedly lying to an EFCC investigator, Afeez Mustapha, that he was the owner of the $2.2million.
EFCC alleged that Thomas and his wife, on or about July 3, 2015, at House 20, Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) compound in Idi-Araba, conspired to accept $2.2 million in cash, which exceeded the N5million limit stipulated by law.
Prosecuting counsel Ekene Iheanacho said the defendants acted contrary to sections 18(2)(b), 1(a) and 39(2)(b) of the EFCC (Establishment) Act 2004.
Iheanacho said they were liable to be punished under sections 16(2)(b) and 39 (2)(c) of the same Act. EFCC closed its case after calling its witnesses.
However, rather than open his defense, the defendants filed a no-case application.
They are praying the court to discharge and acquit them because the prosecution did not make out a prima facie case against them.
But, Iheanacho urged the court to dismiss the application for lacking in merit.
According to him, the prosecution provided substantial evidence through witness testimonies and documents to warrant the defendants opening their defense.
Justice Faji adjourned until October 11 for the adoption of written addresses on the no-case submission.
