Top Ten Most Famous People
1 Jesus Christ Jesus Christ was born in Bethlehem, Palestine. He was born to Mary, as the bible says "she was found with child of the Holy Ghost" (Matthew 1:18). He was both man and God (John 20:28). According to the bible He is God alone (Deuteronomy 6:4). ...read more.
I love Jesus Christ so much. He is the Way, the Truth and the Life. He is the greatest person ever because He is God. Praised be Jesus Christ forever and ever, fully, truly, physically present in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar! He is the best person you could every know! Believe in Him and you will be saved! Be a saint! Love Him above all else! (There is no greater Jesus Freak than me I bet!)
There's an entire religion about Jesus and God and the Holy Spirit. One of the best stories of all time (It's real too!) and able to give hope like no other. Thank you. Jesus always and forever. (Sorry I copied that. I liked the way it sounded).
Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior died for my sins and he is the reason why I have a chance to be with the father in Heaven he is real it is proven that he was born in 4 BC in Jidda, Roman Empire and died in 30/33 AD in Jerusalem Judea, Roman Empire at around aged 33-36 The Bible says it and never deny the people so many miracles, prayers and questions of me has been answered I have accepted Jesus Christ as my eternal lord and savior you should too we still have time thank you Jesus for dying for us I love to have you in my life can't wait to see you when it is my time to go. Jesus always and forever
Jesus came to take on the sins of the world so us today can live as we done. Jesus died on the cross and was torched to death and people today should honour this bearing in mind that we ALL get judged after our death and there is a place called hell and it's not just something like out of a made up fiction film. Hell is real and heaven is real to. It's up to us how we all live our lives today. But remember there is the ten commandments that God give us to follow to obay God then God left it up to us if we choose to or not. But remember you don't know when we are going to die. Only our heavenly father in heaven so bear this in mind. Choice is YOURS...prise be to God.
2 Michael Jackson Michael Joseph Jackson was an American singer, dancer, and songwriter born on August 29, 1958 in Gary, Indiana and passed away on June 25, 2009. He donated (at least) a remarkable 500,000,000 dollars to charity. Michael is also known as The King of Pop (a title given to him by Elizabeth Taylor) or under ...read more.
I'm not sure that I should admire him, because word goes that he did some bad things to children. I was pretty sure he wouldn't turn out like his father. But the point for this list is that he was a great singer (especially as a kid) and he's got some sick moves. But why did this guy even need plastic surgery? I mean look at him!
Michael Jackson is the king of pop known by everyone of any age, sex, ethnicity, country and origin. Michael Jackson was mobbed in every country poor or rich. Yes Elvis and the Beatles were huge and sold more than Michael Jackson did well guess what. Michael Jackson sold 350 million records worldwide in only 6 studio albums. Elvis Presley sold 600 million records in 23 studio albums and the Beatles 600 million records in 13 studio albums. So Michael Jackson is only below by 250,000,000 records in 7 and and 17 less albums than both Elvis and the Beatles. But apart from sales Michael Jackson was loved and recognized in China, Japan, India, Thailand, Seoul, Malaysia, Philippines all those Asian countries he got mobbed every time he went. Africa he was crowned a king and loved out there they all wanted to see him even the poorest parts of Africa went after Michael Jackson. Europe, South America, North America and Australia all loved Michael Jackson when he performed all his tours he did ...more
I just can't tell how I feel just to think that he is no longer with us, his music will always be alive in our hearts but just imagine if only he was alive what difference would he make in this world. He had a different n difficult childhood but still did much for children all around the world and yet there were people who wanted to defame him n tried hard to do so but still he was proved innocent n I really don't like when people talk bad about him he was such a great person. His thoughts can be seen clearly through the music he made n he was way ahead of his time jad a humble n great personality n I will say he was damn handsome. I just want to say I love him we all do very much if only for once we could see him once again. That's the only wish I have n I think many other people have too. He was a great humanitarian n his belongings n legacy should always be preserved n may his soul rest in peace n if reincarnated may he get all that what he had longed for in his life.. I $ you ...more
Michael Jackson is known around the world. What sets him apart as the best known person of all time is the fact that besides the Western world, he is known even in the most rural parts of India, the hinterlands of China and even to the poorest people in Africa. He is virtually the only Western individual enjoying this kind of recognizability in those parts, not only for his unparalleled impact on the 20th centuries culture but also his humanitarian efforts.
This coupled with the fact that more people are living these days than ever before and Jackson's ability to transcend racial and generational barriers makes him the most famous person the world has ever seen.
3 Adolf Hitler Adolf Hitler (April 20, 1889 - April 30, 1945) was a German politician who was the leader of the Nazi Party, Chancellor of Germany from 1933 to 1945, and Führer of Nazi Germany from 1934 to 1945. As dictator of Nazi Germany, he initiated World War II in Europe with the invasion of Poland in September ...read more.
Adolf Hitler is history's most famous monster. Everyone knows who he is. The argument that a kindergartner wouldn't know who he is doesn't convince me of anything as those kids will all have heard of Hitler before they reach middle school. I don't know how famous Jesus is outside of western nations, but I assume Hitler is known in every nation. He is the closest a person has ever come to being the devil in human form since radios and mass communication became available simply due to the scale of destruction he caused and how much he changed the entire world. He is remembered the way Genghis Khan would be remembered had modern technology existed during the 13th century. He is the ultimate bad guy that people can see videos and clear photos of.
He is infamous to most and famous to some. I don't agree with those few, but without accounting for morals, I can see what they mean. I'm sure that he had good intentions, bettering the population, but he was missing key information. They WEREN'T inferior and he was depriving them of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. He thought he was right though, and if he was, I would've supported him.
If he had won the war, the world would be a better place. The jewish banking mafia now controls the politicians and the media. The state of Israel has been conducting it's own Holocaust for over 70 years way worse than WW2. He did not hated other races or cultures, he wanted every race to be proud and thrive withut mixing. He hated the jews because the majority of them promoted communist ideologies which were created as a tool to destroy nations. Look at the nightmares that was the USSR and that is China, Cuba and North Korea. He was a good person. A real hero. A real human being.
Even if people say he should be infamous, there are still people who Like him (modern natzies). I don't like him, but I know someone in the world do
4 Albert Einstein Albert Einstein was a German-born theoretical physicist who developed the theory of relativity, one of the two pillars of modern physics. His work is also known for its influence on the philosophy of science.
I think Einstein was a really good person. I never paid a lot of attention to him until I read Charlie Thorne and the last equation (thank you, Stuart Gibbs).
Albert Einstein was a very good person, he was very intelligent, and still now he's very important for people of the humanity
It's because people say that he is one of the smartest people the world evver have got. And we humans like to better than others and be smarter than Einstein just gonna make it better for the world. The humans that are smarter than Einstein would often make some good stuff to this world!
Albert Einstein was a great person.. He even preferred death over surgery because he didn't want to have an artificial life.. That's something easy to say but its really brave
5 Abraham Lincoln Abraham Lincoln was the 16th President of the United States, serving from March 1861 until his assassination in April 1865. Lincoln led the United States in its bloodiest war and its greatest moral, constitutional, and political crisis.
Yes, Americans would know who he is, but people outside of America up to the age of about 14 generally have no idea about him. Around that age, they do now of him, but most still do not know his significance.
Well slaves were actually freed at time of Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him. Belal was a slave from Africa and was freed by Muhammad and his companions. 1441 years ago everyone was given rights. But nations and people chose to use their own ideas. No where in all the Holy Books whether the Torah, Bible or the Quran does it say you treat a human as or like a slave. We are all slave of Allah, who has created us and unto him we return.
You all do know lincoln only freed the slaves to save the union he didn't do it just cause he didn't support slavery he didn't even free all of them. He even wrote "If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone, I would also do that"
Anyone can relate to Lincoln. No matter who they are. In some way he has positively impacted the lives of all Americans for the past 150 years. He was great man but also just a man. He was humble and liked to tell dirty jokes. When I learn about him I can see myself in him. I think that is why he is so loved.
6 Elvis Presley Elvis Presley was an American musician and actor. Known as "The King" He was mostly known for his number 1 singles including "Heartbreak Hotel" "Hound Dog" "Jailhouse Rock" "Love me Tender" Elvis debuted in the movie "Love me Tender" and focused less on his music and continued that way. ...read more.
Known in practically every country in the world and known by his first name. The greatest and the biggest star ever, the most famous man after Christ who has ever lived. Nobody will ever equal his achievements, all attained in just over 20 years, absolutely fantastic man. We love you Elvis, God bless you.
No one is more famous than elvis, the artist of the century. An artist whose talent will be never be equalled in 20,000 lifetimes! Elvis shook the world and it is a better place because he lived in it. 2019 and he is still the leader of the pack. Love you baby.
More than famous, above and beyond a great star. Elvis is a phenomenon, a man of unexplainable talent and charisma. He has it all and nobody else will ever come anywhere near him. The one and only Elvis.
Elvis was a artist that had no boundaries, the things he could have done and perform all over the world would have been second to none, it's so sad he didn't have or take the opportunity to do more, but what he did do was outstanding, and the world is a sadder place with out him!
7 Muhammad Muhammad (570 AD - 632 AD) was an Arabian Prophet, best known as the central figure (and last prophet) of the Abrahamic religion of Islam and is amongst the most revered and important historical figures in the world.
Are you insane. Both Muhammad and Jesus are servants of Allah the almighty. Jesus is not a God. He was sent by Allah as a prophet. Just like Muhammad. Allah has warned. Those who believe that Jesus son of Mary was the God, indeed we have prepared the hell for them. Please. Those who have good deep in them will understand this. May Allah don't send us to hell for our sin and forgive us. For he is the most forgiving.
I'm warning you. He have the hell prepared for evil.
About Muhammad, he is the best of all humans and will always be
He is the greatest ever and just do onething or copy one act of sunnah you will happy in the world and after. Life It is true for whole life u will go to paradise. Money will never get laasting haappiness
How can people even compare Michael Jackson with the holy prophet people just don't understand sometimes what's coming next for them. How could people have worshipped things they created, Allah is not a dead God, he is the ONLY God and he has no partner. We are all slaves of Allah. But we should learn to respect other people's opinions too, people worship different things but there are many proofs that Islam is the true religion for example the splitting between the moon NASA has found out that Islam is the true religion but they won't share it with the world. The bible has been changed so many times if you believe God doesn't make mistakes then why are you changing it the Quran, however is protected by Allah and it has never been changed there are rumors about the prophet that are fake, if he did those things why would he be a prophet of God then
Muhammad was a great messenger of Allah. He treated people nicely, and we think that a lot of bad things happen to us, when you think about that always remember the Holy prophet and what he went through people made fun of him Abu Lahab, however was related to him but he did very horrible things to the prophet, his wife planted thorns in the prophets way to his house, people were threatening to kill him, there were clots of blood in his shoes imagine how much that is if it happened to us we wouldn't be so patient he never fought with people either. He was an awesome person and the best person in the world.
8 Princess Diana Diana, Princess of Wales, was the first wife of Charles, Prince of Wales, who is the eldest child and heir apparent of Queen Elizabeth II.
So sad she died! She was lovely, even though she was famous! ( I am not saying she shouldn't be famous, I just meant she wasn't so full of herself!)
By far the most famous woman of the twentieth century. She was loved by all from every corner of the Earth for her beauty, passion, and heart. Unlike others who's fame comes and goes, her fame will move beyond time and she will forever be in our hearts.
Princess Diana was an amazing person, she was extremely beautiful both on the inside and the outside. Whatever she did for the world in the limited amount of time she had was incredible. Had she lived long enough, she'd have done a lot of things for good. She is still the Queen of our hearts and shall always continue to be. PLEASE VOTE FOR DIANA
An incredible person, not just an ordinary, but an extraordinary lady. Princess Diana is very beautiful and kind, she had changed the monarchy in a good way and she will always be remembered as the Queen of Hearts. We shall all take her as our icon.
9 Gautama Buddha Gautama Buddha, also known as Siddhārtha Gautama, Shakyamuni Buddha, or simply the Buddha, after the title of Buddha, was an ascetic and sage, on whose teachings Buddhism was founded.
Master was great, his teachings reflects human life as it is,
he was one of the first who sacrifice everything and work for human welfare even after attaining enlightenment.
And this list which puts even Michael Jackson & Adolf Hitler ahead of Master,
Master explained the truth of the life and always emphasized reality.
Master never a taught single thing bad or unethical or dishonest or illogical or impractical in his teaching.
Because a good guy and find a way for a people that hard to live, also find a way to peace a world from suffer, old, sick and dead. And I loved him so much And he failed to peace the world he did try his best to human life
Whoever said he looks like chicken noodle soup or feet, you are disrespecting a religion and a great man. May God curse you.
You probably have been living under a rock if you've not heard of the one and only, the greatest Buddha to walk on Earth!
10 Barack Obama Barack Hussein Obama II served as the 44th president of the United States of America. He was elected in 2008 after serving in the Senate from 2005-08, beating John McCain and becoming the first African-American to be elected President of the United States. He was elected again in 2012, beating Mitt ...read more.
He was a man who knew what he was dealing with and knew exactly how to solve the issues without ruining the already bad situation.
Barack Obama is a good person and was the first African American president. He tripled the stock market, cut unemployment in half, ended two wars, cut the uninsured rate in half, brought gas down to $2.75 cut the anual Bush deficon by two-thirds and got Bin Laden.
He is the best president the worlds ever seen and Donald trump should resign he is an alien who would date his own daughter if she wasn't his daughter. He is ugly and his hands are tiny!
Barack will always be top he is loved by the world a wonderful president, he was president at the best time for what this world was going through.

11 Donald Trump Donald John Trump (born June 14, 1946) is an American businessman, television personality, politician, and the 45th President of the United States. Born and raised in Queens, New York City, Trump received an economics degree from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania in 1968. In 1971, ...read more.
President Trump is easily the greatest president since Teddy Roosevelt, and maybe the greatest ever. The press and global elites have all colluded to try to tear him down like they've tried to do to many others before - including the President's longtime friend, the late Michael Jackson - but they simply can't. He's pursuing peace in the Middle East and Korean peninsula, crafted and passed great trade deals, cut taxes down dramatically, and much more, all with the corrupt evils of the world attempting to bring him down.
Not just Americans know who he is, I would argue every single American above the age of 7 would know him. Many other people of foreign countries are caught up with American politics.
Y'all are saying you despise him and that he's a horrible president, but would you rather have Clinton? She stole from the white house, just saying. And it's YOUR fault that he's our president. You voted for him. Twice. And he got the votes. If you didn't want him to be president, then why'd you even vote for him? This is all on you. And, he's saving our country. He's passing laws, and doing things that help us. Don't get me wrong, I don't like him, but I'd rather have him than Clinton. Just saying.
I don't wanna get into politics even though I do think Donald Trump should be maybe a little higher I mean for crying out loud right now he is our President I mean seriously I think he needs to be higher but maybe that's just me.
12 Martin Luther King Jr Martin Luther King Jr. (born Michael King Jr.; January 15, 1929 – April 4, 1968) was an African American minister and activist who became the most visible spokesperson and leader in the civil rights movement from 1955 until his assassination in 1968. King is best known for advancing civil rights through ...read more.
I honestly think he should be higher on this list-such an amazing man. We will never forget him, for all the amazing and great things he has done for us. :)
Martin Luther King JR is a man with a lot of hopes. He gave the 'I HAVE A DREAM" speech. He was a brave man who wanted to have a voice in freedom to all. He wanted to have part in a honorable acceptable world. Martin wanted to be the leader for the blacks. He was a good leader for his non violence beliefs for everyone. He wanted freedom, but not through violence.
I believe what he did to help African Americans was unbelievable. His "I Have A Dream" speech is still known today. His dream was wonderful. He wanted peace. There was NOTHING wrong with African Americans. He proved this. African Americans are only desended from REALLY tan people. So? They are equal to whites. And that's that.
Martin Luther King Jr is a great person. He did many great things. He fought for the black people. I love his I Have A Dream. speech. It makes me want to do something really great. He definitely is a awesome and great person in our world.
13 George Washington George Washington was the first President of the United States, the Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War, and one of the Founding Fathers of the United States.
Washington, the first president of the United States, was a fair, honest, brave, and kind man. He had led the Revolutionary War, and had the chance to become the king of the U.S.A. He was fair and honest, so he did not become the king because America had just fought a war to be independent from Kings and royalty. Why have a another king? Washington instead became a president. He was always brave and noble. I admire him for that. FACT: at Washingtons president ceremony, he forgot his Bible (which he needed) luckily, they were in a church and quickly found a substitute. Now they always bring an extra Bible to president ceremonies.
He was the first president of the United States of America. Many people did/do look up at him. He was very respected. He was also the leader of the Continental Congress. According to my History teacher, he is the most famous person in American History (who doesn't know him? )
He did more for America has or ever will, and he certainly deserves to be on the list if Michael Jackson and Hitler of all people are.
Is the best president of the United States, and I think he is more recognized than Abraham Lincoln.
14 Muhammad Ali Muhammad Ali (January 17th 1942 - June 3rd 2016) was an American former professional boxer . He was generally considered among the greatest heavyweights in the history of the sport.
Wolpert summaries the profound effect that Jinnah had on the world:
Few individuals significantly alter the course of history. Fewer still modify the map of the world. Hardly anyone can be credited with creating a nation-state. Mohammad Ali Jinnah did all three.
This man chose to beat people for a living. In fact, if my memory serves me, he broke all of the rules just to fight people. I'm sorry, but this man is nothing more than a glorified bully.
He was the greatest entertainer and talker. He protested against vietnam war in cost of loosing all of his money and title.
Muhammad Ali in his time was the most famous person on the planet he rivals lots of famous superstars.
15 Leonardo Da Vinci Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci (April 15, 1452 - May 2, 1519) more commonly Leonardo da Vinci or simply Leonardo, was an Italian polymath whose areas of interest included invention, painting, sculpting, architecture, science, music, mathematics, engineering, literature, anatomy, geology, astronomy, ...read more.
One of the greats. If he wasn't around we wouldn't have cars, bikes, planes and helicopters. He achieved so many things and did so many things. He also made the most amazing painting the mon alias. What a star. He did so many things and he was born in the 1400s and people still remember him.
"Many people might not know why he's famous or what he even looks like but everyone knows the name and at least some of his art and he has a whole city named after him!
The very first Renaissance man. Had the world regarded him as a hero much like Jesus Christ, we may be better off today.
HE IS THE BEST! Something that many people do not know that on the Mona Lisa the bridge has simbols saying "The answer lies here. What does it mean?
16 John Lennon John Winston Ono Lennon, MBE was an English singer and songwriter who rose to worldwide fame as a co-founder of the Beatles, the most commercially successful band in the history of popular music. He was assassinated by Mark David Chapman on December 8, 1980 at age 40.
One of the most Phenomenal human beings to ever walk this planet. He has contributed so much that is good, hopeful, cutting edge and forward thinking. We lost so much when he died but his music, charity and compassion will always live on!
John Lennon is the lead singer of the most famous band ever "The Beatles" and he also was a singer by himself and was a huge success. He is so amazing.
Not only was he already in the most iconic band in pop culture, but he had the most notable solo career afterward. Singer/songwriter, activist, artist, there's a lot John Lennon did in 40 years.
He spoke truth to power. He spoke truth to the masses. Perhaps the first celebrity in the modern media age to do so.
17 Nelson Mandela Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela was a South African anti-apartheid revolutionary, politician, and philanthropist, who served as President of South Africa from 1994 to 1999. He was the country's first black chief executive, and the first elected in a fully representative democratic election.
For me, he is really overrated and rightfully not in the top 10. Do not get me wrong, he is an admirable man but to popularize him at the expense of all the other great South African leaders of his era, Those who fought for him to be released (He didn't do that himself people)
1. Contrary to popular belief, he wasn't the first ANC president, whoever said he was missed the other 10 leaders before him and Notable leaders for that.
2. Jafta Masemola (Of the PAC at the time) was also jailed for 27 years but no one ever mentions him because he refused to negotiate with the white men and term them a necessary evil like what Mandela did.
Ok I don't mean to bring down a great man's legacy but most of it is really built on lies, so For me, he is way way overrated, praise him for the truth not lies. Please and thank you.
Amazing person... The people of South Africa should appreciate what he's done. He should be higher than #19 and should be #1 or at least the top ten
Overall Nelson Mandela is a an amazing person with a legacy that is unforgettable. I did a report on him and I learned so many positive contributes that this man brought to the world, I believe that he is the most inspiring person.
I agree with post 32 He was a very great man and he was in prison And turned to be a President And Nelson Mandela was at the 1995, 2007 Champion Ship of the Springboks. He is a very great man, a honourble man. From: Niki Stander.
18 Moses
When he set the people free the people would still act all crazy,they would do the opposite of what they were told to do.They were called Banu Hashim. Pharroh (Moses's step dad)would pray to Allah at night and then say he is God.His wife accepted Islam but was made fun of and tortured(Asiyah).she found Moses on the lake floating when his biological mother did this because solders were raiding the city.Later Asiyah became martyred by a boulder but before the boulder hit her Allah killed her.Moses even fasted and was a very srtong man.
If you know Jesus, God, the Holy Spirit, and the Bible, you should know Moses. He was one of God's great prophets.
He saved gods people so I say he should be at LEAST number 2 on the list
I vote for moses because he splitting the sea... that's gangster blood
19 Julius Caesar Gaius Julius Caesar, known by his cognomen Julius Caesar, was a Roman politician and military general who played a critical role in the events that led to the demise of the Roman Republic and the rise of the Roman Empire.
Caesar's legacy continues to this day. English, Russian, German all use some variation of the Roman Emperors name to mean "leader".
I don't know him that well but I know he's a good guy
He was a leader of the dawn of civilisation
He was a next gangster this guy
20 Franklin D. Roosevelt Franklin Delano Roosevelt, commonly known as FDR, was an American statesman and political leader who served as the 32nd President of the United States from 1933 to 1945. A Democrat, he won a record four presidential elections and dominated his party for many years as a central figure in world events ...read more.
Above all presidents to serve in office, Franklin Delano Roosevelt is considered the best. A man coming into the White House, later elected another 3 times, took on America's greatest challenge in the World's darkest time. We all looked up to him.
He is so inspirational amazing how he was trying so hard
I don't know much about him but I 've heard of him and he was a president
Lead us during ww2
21 Michael Jordan Michael Jeffrey Jordan, also known by his initials, MJ, is an American retired professional basketball player.
I'm not trying to insult his career or businesses or anything, but I'm sorry americans, no one in china/india/europe/africa knows him, nba is rarely shown outside US, think about it, no adults ik know him
Best of the NBA all time best player love this man is awesome long live jordan
The platinum standard of being a winner. The greatest champion ever
Go tell some stranger " be like mike " and they'll know what you mean
22 Genghis Khan Genghis Khan c. 1162 – August 18 1227, born Temüjin, was the founder and Great Khan of the Mongol Empire, which became the largest contiguous empire in history after his death.
He was a Terrible man and he killed lots of people in his time in all kinds of gruesome ways
He should number 1
From slave to greatest conquerer who ever lived in world
I can't believe that Justin.B just ranked before Chingiss Khaan who was owning half of world.
No clue who he is
23 Napoleon Bonaparte Napoléon Bonaparte was a French military and political leader who rose to prominence during the French Revolution and led several successful campaigns during the Revolutionary Wars.
Should be number 1. The most important man to spread and defend the Enlightenment ideals which shape our world today - equality of opportunity, equality under the law, meritocracy, secular education, religious toleration, efficient administration, property rights, law and order, promotion of arts and science, etc. On top of all, a military genius who conquered the whole of Europe. To rank Napoleon so low at number 27 shows a complete lack of historical knowledge on part of people who compile this list.
It's difficult to argue that this man was without a doubt one of the world's greatest strategist, topped only by some historical figures.
Come on people #28 really!?!?!?
Great dude.

GURU NANAK being the incarnation of the GOD almighty was fearless and in the court of the barbaric ruler named babar he said you are not babar you are jhawar.

All the little kids here wondering who he is because he isn't a new/younger actor. Well kids, he was the voice of Darth Vader, Mufasa from the lion King, and he did many other roles. I'm guessing most of you have seen Star Wars and the Lion King. So in a way, he was basically part of your childhood. So don't be disgraceful to your childhood now.
Wasn't he the voice actor for Darth Vader? If it was him, he did an amazing job.
Who doesn't love darth vader?

Union Carbide's board of directors is asked to evaluate a proposal from the staff treasurer's that would articulate policies to manage its debt portfolio. The staff proposes that shareholder value will be maximized if the firm manages its exposure to interest rates by matching the duration of its liabilities to that of its assets. Based on statistical analysis, examination of rivals' policies, and reasoning, they argue that the firm, establish a benchmark duration for its liabilities against which all future active management activities be measured.


Before we move ahead with this question let's first define provisioning. Provisioning is a fancy name of making something available. So let's first create a page template using the 'Default.Master' and the see how we can provision this page on the website.. So below is the code snippet where we can create a master page from the 'Default.Master'.
In order to use the template we need to create an instance in the SharePoint runtime. Creating a instance of the template in the SharePoint runtime is termed as provisioning.
We need to use the 'Module' and 'File' tag to provision an instance of the template page. This is done in the 'ElementManifest.XML' file. Below is the code snippet of 'ElementManifest.XML' file which has the module tag with a file tag specifying what the URL page name is? This is the same template which we had shown on the top. 'PageA.aspx' is the instance name and 'MyPage.aspx' is the physical page name of the template page.
The type attribute has two values 'Ghostable' and 'GhostableInLibrary'. If you want to provision a resource inside a document library then you need to specify 'GhostableInLibrary'. If you do not want to provision a resource inside a document library then you need to specify 'Ghostable' value. For the current exercise we have given the value as 'Ghostable'.
A note the path attribute has the page in the 'MyPath' folder.
As said previously we also need to define the feature.xml file which has the receiver class and the element manifest pointing to the elementmanifest.xml file.
In the receiver class we will add menu items in the quick launch nodes. So in the activation event we will add a link which will activate this feature and in the deactivation event we will remove this feature.
So in the activation event we first need to get reference to the SpSite object using the URL.
From the SpSite object we get the 'SpWeb' object.
From the 'SpWeb' object we get reference to all node collection of the Quick launch menu.
In the deactivation event we will remove the link.
Now that we have done with creating the two xml files and the class which will handle the feature events , use stsadm utility to register the feature. Once you have registered it you should see the feature in the feature list display. We have named the feature as 'Provision' so you can see the 'Provision' feature.
Once you activate the feature you should see the 'Quest' link which points to the template instance page 'PageA.aspx'. If you disable the feature you will not be able to browse the page instance.

My opinion of Gamergate
Vivian James by Yahlantykan on DeviantArt
Surprisingly, I've gone this long without issuing an opinion of Gamergate and the controversy surrounding it. Depending on who you ask, it's either a misogynistic movement of lonely men who don't want women playing video games, or it's a movement standing against corruption in game journalism and fighting back against the self-appointed social justice warriors (SJWs) that are mischaracterizing their movement.
If you believe the former, you believe the media's official narrative about Gamergaters. If you believe the latter, you believe what Gamergaters are saying about themselves.
However one views the Gamergate movement, there is no denying how it got started: A woman by the name of Zoe Quinn released a so-so text-based game about depression, and it was given a glowing review on a gaming website. Later, Zoe Quinn's ex-boyfriend revealed that she was cheating on him, and that the game received undue attention because she was in an affair with the game journalist that reviewed it. As one might expect, people were outraged, and the Gamergate movement was born.
Incidentally, here is a link to a WikiHow article on how to make your own text-based adventure game.
Zoe Quinn became a target of harassment and ridicule, which is to be expected, considering what she did. But rather than accept that what was happening to her was a consequence of her own poor decision-making, she instead played the victim, claiming to be attacked by misogynists. She made her appeal to both cultural critic Anita Sarkeesian and the press, and they both ate it up.
I'm going to say straight-up that I don't believe that Gamergate is a movement of misogynists. What I've seen from gamers in my long history of seeing them is just the opposite; they like seeing women in video games, and they favor the image of the female protagonist in games that is strong, independent, resourceful, and intelligent (does the name Samus Aran ring a bell?). But that doesn't mean that Gamergaters aren't going to be mischaracterized.
Gamergaters have challenged a corrupt press, and the results have been predictable. The press has long been in a position in which they have the trust of people and control of information, enabling them to sway public opinion in favor of positions and worldviews that are in line with those of journalism at large. It's something that conservatism has long complained of as the liberal-controlled media has long perpetuated stereotypes of those of those of conservative persuasion.
A case in point is the recent exposure of Planned Parenthood's operation of selling baby parts in violation of federal law. In some cases, the subjects of harvesting were infants that were extracted alive. One would imagine that, if even a little bit of video evidence of this got out, there would be an outrage, and the people behind the crime would all be held accountable. However, there has been volumes of undercover video released, and it seems like the general population is largely unaware of what happened. This is because there has been a media blackout of the video releases, except for a short time when Planned Parenthood peddled its official narrative that the videos were doctored.
Now, gamers are starting to see what it's like to be libeled by a huge, rich, privileged media machine. To add to their problem, coming against them is another, far less sophisticated group that also cares little about facts: radical feminism.
After they became involved, a surprising group came along to oppose them: liberals themselves. After so long of being the beneficiaries of a media that presented their narratives, they started to speak up against what they see as wrong with radical feminism's tactics, possibly because it was their entertainment that was being challenged.
As tempting as it may be for conservatives to view the battle between feminists and moderate liberals as a liberal problem, it's an opportunity that conservatives seem to be largely passing up to point out that they too have been victims of similar targeting and stereotyping, and now that liberals are on the receiving end of it at the hands of one of their own fringe groups, perhaps they'll be in a better position to understand that there's something wrong with it.
Similarly, non-gamers seem to view Gamergate as a gamer problem. However, it's another symptom of the corruption of the press that has long been preying on the masses. It's interesting that it has been gamers that have taken a position in the battle against corruption in the media, and more surprising still is their passion to continue, long after many people would have just given up.
But that's not so surprising considering that many of them have been influenced by an art form that allows them to vicariously experience the battles of heroes, and encourages them to keep trying until they win.

The report was presented by Ms. Dorothy Davies Flindall and Bishop Michael Ingham. Dr. Eleanor Johnson, Director of Partnerships, and Mr. Robin Gibson, Director of PWRDF, also participated.
It was agreed that a copy of the above resolution would be forwarded to the Canadian Jewish Congress.
Jerusalem is a city holy for the people of the three monotheistic religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Its unique nature of sanctity endows it with a special vocation: calling for reconciliation and harmony among people, whether citizens, pilgrims or visitors. And because of its symbolic and emotive value, Jerusalem has been a rallying cry for different revived nationalistic and fundamentalist stirrings in the region and elsewhere. And, unfortunately, the city has become a source of conflict and disharmony. It is at the heart of the Israeli-Palestinian and Israeli-Arab disputes. While the mystical call of the city attracts believers, its present unenviable situation scandalizes many.
The current Arab-Israeli peace process is on the way towards resolution of the Middle East conflict. Some new facts have already been established, some concrete signs posted. But in the process Jerusalem has again been side-stepped, because its status, and especially sovereignty over the city, are the most difficult questions to resolve in future negotiations. Nevertheless, one must already begin to reflect on the questions and do whatever is necessary to be able to approach them in the most favourable conditions when the moment arrives.
When the different sides involved now speak of Jerusalem, they often assume exclusivist positions. Their claims are very divergent, indeed conflicting. The Israeli position is that Jerusalem should remain the unified and eternal capital of the State of Israel, under the absolute sovereignty of Israel alone. The Palestinians, on the other hand, insist that Jerusalem should become the capital of a future State of Palestine, although they do not lay claim to the entire modern city, but envisage only the Eastern, Arab part.
Jerusalem has had a long, eventful history. It has known numerous wars and conquests, has been destroyed time and again, only to be reborn anew and rise from its ashes, like the mythical phoenix. Religious motivation has always gone hand in hand with political and cultural aspirations, and has often played a preponderant role. This motivation has often led to exclusivism or at least to the supremacy of one people over the others. But every exclusivity or every human supremacy is against the prophetic character of Jerusalem. Its universal vocation and appeal is to be a city of peace and harmony among all who dwell therein.
Jerusalem, like the entire Holy Land, has witnessed throughout its history the successive advent of numerous new peoples: they came from the desert, from the sea, from the north, from the east. Most often the newcomers were gradually integrated into the local population. This was a rather constant characteristic. But when the newcomers tried to claim exclusive possession of the city and the land, or refused to integrate themselves, then the others rejected them.
Indeed, the experience of history teaches us that in order for Jerusalem to be a city of peace, no longer lusted after from the outside and thus a bone of contention between warring sides, it cannot belong excessively to one people or to only one religion. Jerusalem should be open to all shared by all. Those who govern the city should make it "the capital of humankind." This universal vision of Jerusalem would help those who exercise power there to open it to others who also are fondly attached to it and to accept sharing it with them.
Through the prayerful reading of the Bible, Christians recognize in faith that the long history of the people of God, with Jerusalem as its Centre, is the history of salvation which fulfills God's design in and through Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ.
The one God has chosen Jerusalem to be the place where His name alone will dwell in the midst of His people so that they may offer to Him acceptable worship. The prophets look up to Jerusalem, especially after the purification of the exile: Jerusalem will be called the city of justice, faithful city (Is 1:26-27) where the Lord dwells in holiness as in Sinai (cf Ps 68:18). The Lord will place the city in the middle of the nations (Ez 5:5), where the Second Temple will become a house of prayer for all peoples (Is 2:2, 56:6-7). Jerusalem, aglow with the presence of God (Is 60:1), ought to be a city whose gates are always open (Is 17).
In the vision of their faith, Christians believe the Jerusalem of the Prophets to be the foreseen place of the salvation in and through Jesus Christ. In the Gospels, Jerusalem rejects the Sent-One, the Saviour; and he weeps over it because this city of the prophets that is also the city of the essential salvific events - the death and resurrection of Jesus - has completely lost sight of the path to peace (cf Lk 19:42).
In the Acts of the Apostles, Jerusalem is the place of the gift of the Spirit, of the birth of the Church (2), the community of the disciples of Jesus who are to be His witnesses not only in Jerusalem but even the ends of the earth (1:8). In Jerusalem, the first Christian community incarnated the ecclesial ideal, and thus it remains a continuing reference point.
The Book of Revelations proclaims the anticipation of the new, heavenly Jerusalem (3:12; 21:2; cf Gal 4:26; Heb 12:22). This holy city is the image of the new creation and the aspirations of all peoples, where God will wipe away all tears, and "there shall be no more death or mourning, crying out or pain, for the former world has passed away" (21:4).
7. The earthly Jerusalem, in the Christian tradition, prefigures the heavenly Jerusalem as "the vision of peace." In the Liturgy, the Church itself receives the name of Jerusalem and relives all of that city's anguish, joys and hopes. Furthermore, during the first centuries the liturgy of Jerusalem became the foundation of all liturgies everywhere, and later deeply influenced the development of diverse liturgical traditions, because of the many pilgrimages to Jerusalem and of the symbolic meaning of the Holy City.
8. The pilgrimages slowly developed an understanding of the need to unify the sanctification of space through celebrations at the Holy Places with the sanctification in time through the calendared celebrations of the holy events of salvation (Egeria, Cyril of Jerusalem). Jerusalem soon occupied a unique place in the heart of Christianity everywhere. A theology and spirituality of pilgrimage developed. It was an ascetic time of biblical refreshment at the sources, a time of testing during which Christians recalled that they are strangers and pilgrims on earth (cf Heb 11:13), and that their personal and community vocation always and everywhere is to take up the cross and follow Jesus.
For Christianity, Jerusalem is the place of roots, ever living and nourishing. In Jerusalem is born every Christian. To be in Jerusalem is for every Christian to be at home.
For almost two thousand years, through so many hardships and the succession of so many powers, the local Church has been witnessing to the life and preaching the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ upon the same Holy Places, and its faithful have been receiving other brothers and sisters in the faith, as pilgrims, resident or in transit, inviting them to be reimmersed into the refreshing, ever living ecclesiastical sources. That continuing presence of a living Christian community is inseparable from the historical sites. Through the "living stones" the holy archaeological sites take on "life."
2) a city with a community of Christians which has been living continually there since its origins.
Thus for the local Christians, as well as for local Jews and Moslems, Jerusalem is not only a Holy City, but also their native city where they live, hence their right to continue to live there freely, with all the rights which obtain from that.
Insofar as Jerusalem is the quintessential Holy City, it above all ought to enjoy full freedom of access to its holy places, and freedom of worship. Those rights of property ownership, custody and worship which the different churches have acquired through history should continue to be retained by the same communities. These rights which are already protected in the Status Quo of the Holy Places according to historical "firmans" and other documents, should continue to be recognized and respected.
The Christians of the entire world, Western or Eastern, should have the right to come on pilgrimage to Jerusalem. They ought to be able to find there all that is necessary to carry out their pilgrimage in the spirit of their authentic tradition: freedom to visit and to move around, to pray at holy sites, to embark into spiritual attendance and respectful practice of their faith, to enjoy the possibility of a prolonged stay and the benefits of hospitality and dignified lodgings.
12. The local Christian communities should enjoy all those rights to enable them to continue their active presence in freedom and to fulfill their responsibilities towards both their own local members and towards the Christian pilgrims throughout the world.
Local Christians, not only in their capacity as Christians per se, but like all other citizens, religious or not, should enjoy the same fundamental rights for all: social, cultural, political and national.
* the right to have their own institutions, such as hospices for pilgrims, institutions for the study of the Bible and the Traditions, centres for encounters with believers of other religions, monasteries, churches, cemeteries, and so forth, and the right to have their own personnel man and run these institutions.
13. In claiming these rights for themselves, Christians recognize and respect similar and parallel rights of Jewish and Muslim believers and their communities. Christians declare themselves disposed to search with Jews and Muslims for a mutually respectful application of these rights and for a harmonious coexistence, in the perspective of the universal spiritual vocation of Jerusalem.
All this presupposes a special judicial and political statute for Jerusalem which reflects the universal importance and significance of the city.
1) In order to satisfy the national aspirations of all its inhabitants, and in order that Jews, Christians and Muslims can be "at home" in Jerusalem and at peace with one another, representatives from the three monotheistic religions, in addition to local political powers, ought to be associated in the elaboration and application of such a special statute.
2) Because of the universal significance of Jerusalem, the international community ought to be engaged in the stability and permanence of this statute. Jerusalem is too precious to be dependent solely on municipal or national political authorities, whoever they may be. Experience shows that an international guarantee is necessary.
Experience shows that such local authorities, for political reasons or the claims of security, sometimes are required to violate the rights of free access to the Holy Places. Therefore it is necessary to accord Jerusalem a special statute which will allow Jerusalem not to be victimized by laws imposed as a result of hostilities or wars but to be an open city which transcends local, regional or world political troubles. This statute, established in common by local political and religious authorities, should also by guaranteed by the international community.
Jerusalem is a symbol and a promise of the presence of God, of fraternity and peace for humankind, in particular the children of Abraham: Jews, Christians and Muslims.
We call upon all parties concerned to comprehend and accept the nature and deep significance of Jerusalem, City of God. None can appropriate it in exclusivist ways. We invite each party to go beyond all exclusivist visions or actions, and without discrimination, to consider the religious and national aspirations of others, in order to give back to Jerusalem its true universal character and to make of the city a holy place of reconciliation for humankind.
The report was presented by Dr. Ellie Johnson.
Ms. Linda Barry-Hollowell, Chair of the Review Task Force, was welcomed and outlined the process to date. Twenty-two written submissions had been received. A draft report will be prepared by the end of December, following which a further opportunity will be provided for response to the recommendations. The task force will submit its final report to Council of General Synod in March 1998 for approval, prior to forwarding to General Synod.

It's finally election day. After what has seemed like an interminably long run-up to one of the most unpredictable General Elections in living memory, we are finally on the cusp of finding out who will be elected to Westminster and where the chips will fall for the all-important coalition bargaining to come over the next week.
I've been following the ups and downs in the polls for a while now, as well as keeping tabs on Lord Ashcroft's regular polls in the marginal constituencies that will be the real battleground for this election, and with my interest in statistics, politics and Excel I've built up a prediction for each of the UK's 650 constituencies.
As it appears at the moment we will be heading for a Labour-led Government, with the red party taking two more seats than the Conservatives. While the combinations and permutations of Government are almost endless, and it's completely impossible to say what the next Government will look like at the moment, what we can say is that the Conservatives will find it hard to take charge. Any combination of parties will need to survive the Queen's Speech, which means that they need a majority vote for their proposals for Government to continue without another election. With Labour and the SNP adding up to a total of 327 seats (more than a majority of 323 without Sinn Fein), unless either of these two parties backed a Tory-led administration then it would be impossible for them to form a Government. Therefore the impetus is with Ed Miliband to form a Government, needing support from the SNP and the Lib Dems on some sort of basis.
My model started with the 2010 General Election constituency results and applies a uniform swing between the current poll of polls in the relevant nation (England, Scotland, Wales, NI) and the last election. I've also included every by-election and as many Lord Ashcroft polls as possible (106) – with a swing between then and the current poll-of-polls based on the poll-of-polls at the time being the prediction used. For seats where UKIP and the Greens aren't standing I've re-apportioned their vote share to other parties based on the most recent British Election Study data depending on which of the other parties these voters voted for in 2010. While far from perfect, and lacking the nuances of things like incumbency bonuses, demographic weighting, tactical voting and pre-2010 performances I think it's good enough to produce a general ballpark figure as to which party will win where.
This is my final poll of polls for Great Britain, with the polls contributing to it listed below.
Here is the Scottish poll of polls, along with the polls it's based on as well.
You can click on one of the links below to find the predictions for each and every individual seat in the country, complete with expected vote shares and relative confidence in each ranging from Certain to Too Close to Call.
Perhaps not a massive constituency in the general context of the election, but Aberdeen North is my constituency and one where I believe the SNP will make one of their many gains. This was formerly a safe Labour seat with Frank Doran serving from 1997 until this year where he has handed over the candidacy to Richard Baker MSP.
While picking a sitting MSP to contest the seat might be a sign of the Labour party's insistence on keeping grasp on the seat, I believe the groundswell of SNP support will be able to take this seat, although it might be closer than some of the other seats around here – such as Gordon over the River Don.
This will be the only seat the Greens win in this election I predict, with Caroline Lucas being elected once again with a slightly increased majority. While the "Green surge" of a few months ago has definitely brought them into the limelight as a serious choice across the country, their base is far too narrow to be elected anywhere else and they haven't made the inroads in the Lib Dem vote enough to make any gains it appears. There might be some close calls elsewhere, such as Bristol West, but this I believe that Brighton Pavilion will be the one speck of Green on the electoral map on Friday morning.
Scottish Labour leader Jim Murphy is in serious jeopardy of losing his own seat in what would be the ultimate humiliation for a party already facing their Waterloo. Recent polls have seen him gaining back on SNP candidate Kirsten Oswald, and if he indeed does win it'll be on the backing of tactical voting from Conservatives. The margins between victory and defeat will be exceptionally narrow here, and it's too close to call accurately, but at the moment I can only predict based on the figures at hand that show that Murphy will just scrape through.
Charles Kennedy's long political career serving the Highlands will come to a halt, if not an end, tonight as he is poised to be unseated by the SNP's Ian Blackford. Having lived in the constituency for most of my life it's hard to believe that such a steadfast figure would fall, one that was leader of the UK Lib Dems and one of the leading politicians of last decades, but these are the turbulent times we live in. The last decade has been far from kind to Kennedy, with personal and political troubles befalling him at every corner, and while I'm sure every voter in Ross, Skye, Lochaber and beyond wishes him well I think another sad milestone will be reached as his Parliamentary career is ended tonight.
Nick Clegg will hold on to his seat by his fingernails as a late surge of tactical voting from Conservatives will keep him in Parliament. While for a long time it looked like Clegg was a goner, with polls as late as last week showing Labour candidate Oliver Coppard in the lead, it appears that the name recognition of the leader has been able to see him pick up some momentum in the last few days that will get him re-elected. This is no sure thing, but for the Lib Dems it appears they'll avoid the ultimate embarrassment of what will prove to be another disastrous election.
Another battle where the margins could be wafer-thin, Thanet South is currently in the Conservative column with Nigel Farage just a whisker behind. While the name recognition on the day could end up pushing Farage into Parliament, the seat looks like it will prove just that bit too hard to capture – considering the result will represent a 20 point swing to UKIP it isn't too bad an achievement for the party at all.
In support of my predictions, I've placed several bets which I hope will not only bring a favourable result to the country, but also to my bank balance as well! Here are the bets placed, with a £5 going on each.
All predictions and their successes will be reported in my results piece coming on Saturday. Click below to find the individual constituency predictions.

My brain wanted to read "Sorceries and Instants", but the text on In the Eye of Chaos reads "Interupts and Instants".
Which makes it much worse then a plain Thorn of Amethyst or Thalia in my opinion. Thoughts?

...read the article http://www.starcitygames.com/magic/l...Isnt-Dead.html with the belcher-matchup example, which clearly demonstrates why elephant grass is important.
Outside of Empty the Warrens and dredge zombie tokens what creatures kill you by turn 4? ...all I can think of is a turn 2 Phyrexian Dreadnought that was stifled. ...that is if they were on the play, and it could still swing through an Elephant Grass.
Is Elephant Grass more of a sideboard card?
It is true per each Ritual effect you can slow ritual decks down a turn. However, in the same vein ritual decks can make you discard it at least equally as consistent as you can play it. The games when you do drop a ItEoC you slow your development down a turn in an effort to slow the ritual deck down a turn possibly 2. Because at that point they would have already had the opportunity to have used their Gitaxian Probe(s) and Brainstorm to sculpt their hand if they did not have the discard. Depending how many rituals vs. LED's they have it may not affect them at all.
A better all around card for this MU would be Leyline of Sanctity as it makes the combo deck work harder or play into Elephant Grass. It can be high variance, but I don't think it is much more high variance than ItEoC would be in most situations. It also is far better vs. burn than ItEoC. Contol... In the Eye of Chaos wins, but again it is likely better as City of Solitude at that point so it stops Counterbalance and all other counter effects till dealt with.
If you want to use Oblivion Ring to fight Show and Tell Mirri's Guile only makes that plan more consistent.
I used to think Mirri's Guile was a durdle card that didn't affect the game / board the turn it came down, and on-and-on, but I was wrong. It is very good at turning the games that do not go your way up front as it allows you to present the right answer at the right time.
Now i'm not a Words of Wind enchantress expert nor an enchantress expert by any means (building and playing with friends for decades playing competitively for the better part of this year), but I can safely say the versions I have built with [cards]Mirri's Guile[cards] vs. the ones I built without it the ones with, the ones with it are just feel overall more resilient to the meta as it allows me to dial up the right line, and wish less.
If you can really fairly consistently draw your entire deck by turn 4 then it is likely Elephant Grass is better as Mirri's Guile so you can vastly increase the chance of success by turn 5 and win rather than stall and allow your opponents to draw answers as you pay for Grass.
It also deals with Chalice of the Void another common way this deck can be hated out.
cutting more than one grass is insane. rug delver and goblins will crush you without it.
seems like you guys are cutting cards just for the sake of changing something. Stop. Dont make a change until you have a problem with a card. The main deck just so happens to be very very good. If you must change something look to the sideboard.
Chill and Force arent pulling their weight. This gives you 5 slots to figure something out. I want something to help against combo, but i dont like trap at all, and sometimes you dont have a blue card to force. Maybe flusterstorm, maybe Into the Eye, maybe something else. I think high tide is the most important combo matchup right now, its putting up the best results. What are cards that high tide legitimately has a problem with?
I think i want to cut chills for meekstone to help against rug delver. Chill isnt good against goblins really, and Burn is just terrible for you anyway, and not very popular at all. Delver is a close matchup that I wouldnt have any problem devoting slots to considering its popularity.
You're not going to win consistently turn 4 against a deck with counterspells or any other form of disruption, like Merfolk or RUG. Daze and Spell Pierce are very good at pushing the game past the first few turns. But having Elephant Grass in your deck allows you to slow down a little bit and play around Daze and Spell Pierce so that you don't just walk right into them. In every deck that uses creatures, the plan to beat a combo deck is to get down as many creatures as you can as quickly as you can to give the combo player as few turns as possible. Simply having an Elephant Grass in play means that they can only attack with one, maybe two a turn. Having two in play means that they probably cannot attack anymore. The number of turns (and more importantly, land drops) it buys you is ridiculous. You usually only need it to buy you one or two extra turns, which it is certainly capable of doing. Without Elephant Grass, the deck would be a little bit too slow to beat even an average aggro draw.
For Ritual-based combo, they have to cast rituals to go off, which means that they have to deal with In the Eye of Chaos in order to even start going off. Rituals are much more stable than LED or Lotus Petal, and getting mana out of LED is a bit tricky. If they can't cast Rituals, they are in a lot of trouble. If we were playing with something like Leyline of Sanctity, then they could do everything but kill us, which makes it much more likely that they could find the Chain of Vapor and beat us. Simply casting a large Ad Nauseum is a play that's not restricted by Leyline of Sanctity, which is probably their best path to finding the Chain of Vapor. When they have to find the Chain of Vapor first, they're much more constrained. That being said, it's entirely possible that a Sphere of Resistance effect is the correct one to deal with any sort of combo matchup, but having In the Eye of Chaos also gives you live cards to bring in against Force of Will decks and against Burn, as well as being a completely asymmetrical effect in our deck. Where a Thorn of Amethyst would slow us down as much as it slows him down (we're better able to deal with it, but it still adds to our spells as much as to his), In the Eye of Chaos only hurts him.
Put another way, for ANT, there are only three paths to victory. In order of increasing difficulty, they are: Ad Nauseum (which will cost 10 under ItEoC), Past in Flames (which requires you to use Rituals, rather than LED) and Ill-Gotten Gains. IGG can be more or less unaffected, but that's also draw dependent. With ItEoC, you force them to either have an answer, or to go down the most difficult path to victory, which still isn't a guarantee that they won't have an answer. If you're also playing some number of Flusterstorm or Mindbreak Trap, they're in a lot of trouble. Saying that it can just be discarded is true of any answer that isn't Leyline of Sanctity, though if you've ever played as a combo player against Leyline of Sanctity, you know that it doesn't actually do anything against you because of the way that your deck operates.
I'm not going to say (and haven't said) that Mirri's Guile is a bad card, just that it's not doing anything that the deck needs. Against a pure control deck that's going to give you lots of turns to sculpt your hand, Mirri's Guile is better than Elephant Grass, for the same reason that anything is better than Elephant Grass in that matchup. But the only one of those in the format is U/W Miracles, and you're not going to beat RUG or Merfolk or Goblins or Dredge or Zoo without Elephant Grass. I guess it's a metagame card in that sense, but I have no idea what metagame you're playing in that doesn't have any creatures.
Right now my board has 2 ItEoC and 2 Flusterstorm with a third one main (in place of Living Wish/Mindbreak Trap/whatever), as I think that those are the strongest answers we have to combo, and since Flusterstorm is probably the only card that does anything of worth against all of the different combo decks. I could easily see getting all 4 in there somehow, if you have the space.
I like the idea of In The Eye of Chaos. It's pretty much good against every storm, high tide or belcher deck since most of their rituals are instants anyway. It also makes Force of Will do nothing for your opponent, and daze much worse. I do think its much better then Mindbreak Trap and Leyline of Sanctity as neither of them are actually good against counterspells.
To rephrase, how important are the MD Carpets against the blue decks? Is it worth having few possibly dead cards (apart from being enchantment) in the deck to gain edge against blue based decks?
The problem with Mana Bloom is that it really provides very little actual acceleration. Had the card read "Remove ANY number of counters," rather than "One per turn," I might be a bigger supporter. Frankly, one mana/turn can barely be called acceleration for our deck, and while the recycling of Bloom might seem advantageous, the fact is that at best it devours a portion of your mana that turn to POSSIBLY provide acceleration later, and at worst it becomes essentially a junk G enchantment you use to CA. You need to consider that at best its only providing meager mana each turn while contrariwise possibly drawing resources away from other cards like Grass/Confinement, or just general spells. Not to mention that if you're running Solitare or UGw then Confinement prevents it from returning to hand.
The benefit of Carpet of Flowers is that it requires no additional investment on our parts and even if we assume the opponent decides for some nonsensical reason to stop laying lands or they get mana-screwed, Carpet provides at bare minimum 3-5 mana.
Sure, one could argue that the recycling of Bloom is beneficial, however our deck struggles against blue not for lack of enchantments, but because we can't resolve an Enchantress. Recycling isn't all that necessary, especially when you could just as easy run a Mirri's Guile to fix your draws.
Step 1) Draw 7 cards.
Step 2) Throw said 7 cards onto the table while making a "BLAH!" sound.
Step 3) Hold up hands quizically and ask: "Do I win?"
I've read Mana Bloom probably 50 times because for some reason people keep suggesting it, and I just don't get it. So I keep re-reading it to see if there's something I'm missing, but I don't think there is. I think the card is probably just not very good. If we wanted another 1-mana accelerant, Exploration would be much, much better.
Carpet of Flowers is really pretty great. You don't need all that much explosive mana if the opposing deck isn't playing blue, since you're not going to have to fight through Daze and Spell Pierce and your Elephant Grasses are going to be really good in those matchups, so the fact that it is dead against non-blue decks is somewhat irrelevant. But regardless, I'm not sure that investing a lot of mana on a critical turn (in the early game) is worth basically having one extra land in play for X turns. There's a card that does that better, and it's called Exploration. It's even cheaper!
Thanks for you answers benthetenor & Forlorn Egoist. I'll keep the Carpets in and try to get more actual games played with the deck.
i wouldnt play mindbreak trap fwiw. Its pretty bad against storm because they will just duress it away before you can use it. also it doesnt do anything against show and tell. Only actually useful matchup is against belcher.
I was having a conversation with my friend and we both agree that emrakul is better main board than living with for him since living wish can just get countered.
living wish has a lot of utility that md emrakul can't compete with. Getting a harmonic sliver, scavenging ooze, verduran enchantress etc. MD emrakul is actually useless unless you have already won more or less. The only real reason emrakul is needed at all is so that wins dont turn into draws because youve comboed in game 3 during extra turns and cant actually finish off the game.
Living wish gets countered, play E.Wit and get it back.
i wouldnt play mindbreak Agrtrap fwiw. Its pretty bad against storm because they will just duress it away before you can use it. also it doesnt do anything against show and tell. Only actually useful matchup is against belcher.
Agree, for the most part. But the good thing about MBT is if turn2-3 you get it back with witness, you can also cast it that turn.
Am I mistaken about ItEoC and Flusterstorm being a nonmbo?
Some brainstorming... what about Spellstutter Sprite, and Divert?
I was goldfishing this deck while a good buddy walks in and he starts talking about if he were to play legacy, he'd run tranquility in the side just for enchantress.
I told him that's understandable, but he's most likely not going to be able to play it against this build. He laughs and says why. I quickly whip out words of wind and he just walks away.
If you think they're a heavy discard version of the combo decks, or of any deck, I'm also running a Compost which helps you recover from quick discard, in addition to being a great card against Dredge. Against combo it can help draw you into Flusterstorms, and against Dredge it ensures that if they start going off, you will beat them unless they win that turn. Having played against a lot of Dredge, most of the time they will half go off, dredging 6-10 cards on one turn, then go off the rest of the way the next turn. If just a few of those cards are black, it gives you a lot of draws to find Elephant Grass, if you don't already have it. It wouldn't be better than, say, another Tormod's Crypt or some other form of Dredge hate, but its utility in other black matchups earns it a spot.
I wasn't sure if you had to pay 2, or pay for each copy. I wasn't sure if the copies actually looked at what was paid for being played although I figured you'd have to only pay 2, but I didn't want to be pointed out the other case if I were in a tournament. 2 isn't that big of a deal. Thanks for clearifying.
And what do you guys think of Spellstutter or Divert? Spellstutter seems it could be abused with Seal of Removal and Cloud of Faeries and can't be Duress'ed, and Divert seems like you can mess up some Storm player's first turns of the game.

The storm copies of Flusterstorm also have a CMC of 1. But their CMC is irrelevant, because storm copies aren't "cast", the copies are just put on the stack. In The Eye Of Chaos triggers when a spell is cast, so it does not trigger for storm copies.
It's similar to Shattering Spree versus Chalice of the Void.


One of Finland's highest courts recently ruled that the EU's "right to be forgotten" gives a convicted murderer the right to have publicly-available information about his crime removed from Google search listings. The absurdity of this ruling is just one more example of how European policymakers have allowed privacy demands to trump all other individual rights, including freedom of speech and the public's right to information. The right to be forgotten is a fundamentally flawed policy, and the EU should abolish it before it goes further awry.
The man in question committed the murder in 2012. He was sentenced to 10.5 years in prison, but he was released early in July 2017. He received a relatively light sentence because he has autism, which the courts found gives him "diminished responsibility" for the murder. Finnish media reported all these details at the time.
But the case does not end there.
Before he was even released, the convicted murderer sought to have details of his case erased from the public memory. In 2016, Finland's privacy ombudsman submitted a "right to be forgotten" request to Google, arguing that details about the convicted murderer are private because of his health condition, and should therefore be removed. In August, the Supreme Administrative Court, which is Finland's highest court dealing with decisions made by public officials—in this case the ombudsman—upheld those arguments. Google has now been forced to remove links to websites containing this information, such as news outlets.
Proponents of the right to be forgotten argue that it is necessary to protect privacy. However, the law does not protect private information, it makes public information harder to find. Details of that murder will, in principle, remain available from various sources, including news outlets, but search engines like Google are obliged to hide these links from users. Moreover, some news sites may simply decide to eliminate information about the killer from previously published articles on the crime so as to avoid having search engines remove their web pages from search results.
This is not the first example of convicted criminals using the right to be forgotten to hide their misdeeds. Earlier this year, the England's High Court ruled that a businessman had the right to have Google remove information about his prior conviction and prison time, meaning potential clients and business partners would not be able to find out about his criminal past. And last year, the Belgian Data Protection Authority ordered Google to remove links to web pages that identified an individual convicted of a violent assault.
The volume of these requests is substantial. Since the Court of Justice of the European Union first ordered search engines to begin deleting links in May 2014, Google has received approximately 725,000 requests to delete almost three million links. In Finland alone, Google has processed approximately 10,000 requests to delete around 36,000 URLs. According to the company, almost one-fifth of the news articles it received requests to remove related to crime, and it removes roughly one-third of the right to be forgotten requests that it receives relating to news articles.
The right to be forgotten has compelled search engines to serve as the de facto memory police for European governments, undercutting free speech and public access to information. At a time when most governments are trying to find ways to fight fake news and disinformation, it is unfortunate that the EU is instead promoting a policy intended to deceive and hide information from the public. The EU should abandon this policy that does nothing more than establish an individual's right to lie by omission, and if it refuses to go that far, it should at a minimum ensure that the European Court of Justice does not apply these policies outside the EU.


EXXON VALDEZ TRIAL BEGINS TODAY Five years after crude oil from the Exxon Valdez blackened Alaskan waters, 10,000 fishermen, property owners, and Alaska natives are taking giant Exxon Corporation to court, seeking to prove the pollution damaged their culture and livelihood. At stake in the civil trial opening today in Anchorage federal court is an estimated $1.5 billion in compensatory damages and, the plaintiffs' attorneys assert, more than 10 times that in punitive damages. Houston-based Exxon, the world's largest corporation, has refused comment. The plaintiffs' lead attorney, Brian O'Neill, said the proceedings will captivate people with no monetary interest because it is a cautionary tale of environmental disaster.
Students at China's 37 top universities will have to pay tuition and will be responsible for finding their own jobs after graduation under a new reform, the China Daily said Saturday. The change, to take effect with this autumn's new students, is another step in the unraveling of the old socialist system which provided everything for citizens throughout their lives. Previously China paid for all but students' food and clothing.
