In each country, RSF cooperates with a local partner organization. In Turkey, RSF worked with Bianet - Independent Communication Network. The project is funded by the Federal German Ministry of Economic Development and Cooperation (BMZ).
♦ Preferably, official data sources, and/or sources with a high level of reliability and trust are used.
♦ The Prime Ministry Communication Office and Media Advertising Institution (BIK) of Turkey were referred to many times for this project.
♦ Whenever not publicly available, information was directly requested of media companies and research institutes.
All sources are thoroughly documented and archived. Information is available on request at Bianet.
MOM focused on media with the highest reach, measured by audience share. Because there was almost no public data on the finances of media companies, we used audience shares of these companies to highlight their influence on public opinion. While calculating cross-media ownership and the largest media companies in the sector, we included audience data on the whole of the market. This way we calculated the companies that hold the media outlets with largest audience shares.
The basis for selection were the media consumption surveys or information provided by Nielsen, Turkish Statistical Institute (TUIK), Television Viewership Research Institution (TIAK), Media Advertising Institution (BIK), Gemius Turkey. These are all available upon request to Bianet.
At most 10 media outlets per media type (TV, radio, print, Online) were selected for research. However, we also added the media that were once in the top 10 but were shut down for political reasons.
We studied mainly the largest media companies in depth. However, information on some smaller companies and groups can also be found on the website, because these were also relevant to the matter of political control over media.
We looked at past articles, reports regarding ownership and political affiliations. We did use the wiretaps released in 2013, that claim to show government officials as high as President Erdogan himself speaking to media owners, business people. Although there seemed to be no personal and business relation between Doğuş Conglomerate -which owns Doğuş Media Group-, for example, because the wiretaps showed Erdoğan and his advisors being directly involved in the affairs of a media group, we considered Doğuş Media as a politically affiliated media group.
The study focuses on general information with a national focus. As such, media with specific thematic focus (music, sport), social networks, search engines and advertisement were excluded.
The TV stations were selected according to their audience reach nationwide.
The top 10 print media were selected according to their audience reach nationwide.
The top 10 radio stations were selected according to their audience reach nationwide.
News websites were selected according to their audience shares nationwide.
Turkey is ranked #157 out in 180 countries in the 2018 according the World Press Freedom Index published by Reporter without Borders. The country has a score of 53.50. Turkey has been in the international news for its decrease in media freedom, especially since the anti-government Gezi protests that took place in the country in 2013. While the streets of almost all of the cities of the country were filled with protestors, continuing a resistance against security forces for months, the major all-news channel of Turkey, CNN Turk, was famously showing documentaries on penguins.
The government crackdown on critical media has been massive recently, suggesting that the government was trying to control the dissemination of facts and opinion.
Some wiretaps released in the end of 2013 suggested that government officials, as high as President Erdoğan himself, were directly involved in the management of TV programs.
There have been many times in the recent history of Turkey, when as much as seven dailies came out with the same headline - as if the headline was provided to them from somewhere above.
Many journalists who were critical of the government were fired from once-mainstream media outlets; owners of critical media have been threatened with tax suits that could bring down a whole company, while owners of outlets that seem to support the government have made better and better in their investments in other sectors.
As a country that has been developing in many aspects, the freedom of media in Turkey means a lot to not only its citizens but the citizens of the whole world.
10. Does the MOM only exist for Turkey?
No economic data: Market concentration based on market share could not be calculated since complete and credible numbers were not available publicly. Only two media outlets shared them on request.
Contradictory data: Print circulation is a highly debated issue in Turkey. The official data provided by distribution companies is questioned by many, with a lot of evidence suggesting that print outlets are distributed for free so that they get a higher amount of advertising.
"Pool media": The phenomena of "pool media" in Turkey is that many companies are rumored to have invested in the acquiring of certain media outlets, to be used for government propaganda, whereas the owner seems to be only one company. The rest of the investors are not public or official.
The data base allows each citizen to get informed on the media system in general; creates a fact base for civil society's advocacy efforts to further promote public consciousness on media ownership and concentration; is a point of reference for consulting competition authorities or governmental bodies when establishing suitable regulatory measures to safeguard media pluralism.
The database is a snapshot of the current situation, contextualized by historical facts. It will be updated regularly by the local partner organization, IPS Communication Foundation.


Chinese state media is reporting that 16 people are trapped after a Daqing-Guangzhou Expressway tunnel in the Jiangxi Province collapsed Sunday evening.
Xinhua says the tunnel, which is part of the 3,429 km-expressway spanning from Heilongjiang Province to the southern Guangdong Province, is still under construction. The collapse occurred around 10 p.m. Sunday. As of 12:00 PM Monday, those trapped inside had yet to be located and rescuers told the Washington Post they had no updates.
This is the latest in a series of tunnel collapses that saw two different tunnels collapse in July. On July 5th, three railway workers were finally rescued after being trapped for eight days when a portion of the under construction Hongling Tunnel collapsed. On July 29th four people were killed and four were injured after part of a the Xiazhang Highway Tunnel collapsed.
On Friday, InvestorPlace reported the Chinese government plans to build 1,254 miles of roads, nine new sewage-treatment plants, five port improvement projects and two waterway system enhancements. What is missing from the report are plans to improve the safety of infrastructure projects.
On August 24th, a bridge collapsed in northern China, killing three people and injuring five others according to a BBC News report. The bridge had been completed nine months prior to the collapse. Poor construction and over-loading were blamed for the incident. The collapse left no one surprised and was China's sixth major bridge collapse since July of 2011 an International Business Times report says.
A China Digital Times article released today points out that although the new infrastructure building plan may be the "world's most dynamic" according to per-capita GDP growth, there are "many pitfalls of rapid development that can be seen in China."


On behalf of The Geigle Law Firm on Wednesday, September 5, 2018.
Racketeering, or when organized groups run illegal businesses, is a problem throughout the United States. These businesses, known as rackets, are essentially an organized crime ring. Public and private institutions are harmed by the rackets, because the rackets tend to embezzle funds through legitimate organizations.
This is such a serious offense that the federal and state governments have specific laws to prosecute those who participate in racketeering. If you're accused, it's vital that you take steps to protect yourself right away. It's possible to face false accusations, but don't take it for granted that you'll walk away without penalties even if you are innocent. Knowledge about the laws can help you be better prepared for what could happen next.
What are some common forms of racketeering that have occurred over the years?
Some forms of racketeering include using labor unions to steal from workers' pension plans or embezzling funds from legitimate fronts, like a not-for-profit organization.
How are those who participate in racketeering penalized?
How serious are RICO violations and the charges that follow?
RICO violations are extremely serious. You could face severe penalties and imprisonment for violating the laws. For a single RICO charge, an individual could face up to 20 years in prison, but up to life if predicate acts would permit it. The fine can be $250,000 or twice the amount of the proceeds of the offense, whichever is higher.
What should you do if you're accused of RICO violations?
You should make sure you do everything you can to fight the claims against you immediately. These charges are at the federal level, which means they're more significant and result in felonies with long prison sentences and heavy fines. It's worth your time to do what you can to protect sensitive documents and information about yourself, so you're not accused of a crime you did not commit.
It's possible for a person to work for an organization legitimately without knowing the illegal activities are going on. Those individuals are presumed innocent until there is evidence against them, but it's still in their best interests to make sure they have a strong defense against any possible allegations of their involvement.


Ah, I got your attention – didn't I? So let's get down to the real nitty gritty , I'm talking about where do you do it – your manuscript revisions? You know that novel you've been working on? Slaving over? Just dying to get to 'The End' again.
This question came to me as I finish revising my completed manuscript. First, let me say here that I will never write a full manuscript again without some type of ongoing revision schedule in place. I looked at 350 pages and cried. What the Frack had I done? So once I dried my tears, I sought a better more sane way to do this with future work. Which then brought up the question: Where do I do it (revisions)? I'd read published authors advise not to revise in the same place you write. Reason being you'll get a clearer, fresher perspective on your work if done in another room or another place. Sounded reasonable so I decided to ask authors available on online groups I belong to where they did it (revisions).
The answers I received can be applied to whether you are a plotter or organic writer (which is a much better term than panster). And the consensus was: wherever you feel comfortable and just do it (revisions).
Two authors do it (revisions) in bed. Alone. They print out the entire novel or pages, and work page by page and then input changes on their computer. One stated 'Is there a better place to write romance than in bed?' She said she felt special surrounded by books, dictionaries, thesaurus and paper. She also said she locked the door. I considered their method and the Goldilocks in me said I'd be asleep in ten minutes. I don't find my work, even in its crappiest form dull, but a bed is way too comfortable. I admire their discipline. It also means you don't have to make your bed.
Another author said she did it (revisions) whenever and wherever she could. Given she worked and had two small children, she'd learn to do mini-edits at doctor's offices, sport practices and could shut out the distractions. Me I'm too damn nosy you never know when someone might provide a potential juicy plot. However once a woman behind me in the grocery line was sobbing on her cell phone to a man about how he done her wrong. I was extremely uncomfortable and got the heck out of there quickly as possible. When my son had tennis lessons with his pro, I was too busy making sure every bit of my money was rung out him on the court to concentrate on revisions. Another published author did it (revisions) on the morning train to work. It worked for Scott Turow and it works for her, she's multi-published.
So it came down to this, where you do it (revisions) is a matter of choice and where you can achieve the most success. I've held several revision sessions on the computer but everyone agreed it was best to print the pages. So now do I and use a purple, green, or purple pen to mark it up, then input changes on my computer. As for where I do it (revisions) it boiled down to my writing room. I confiscated the living room six years ago and remodeled it into my domain. It is a 'relatively unchanging environment' as one writer said why she preferred her writing space. It's my space and my children have felt my wrath if they enter without knocking or use my computer to check Facebook.
The reason I put revisions in parenthesis is to keep your mind on what I mean by 'where do you do it'. You know how a romance writer's mind works.
As 2011 draws to a close and the holiday season is on us, keep doing it (revisions) so when 2012 blasts in you'll do it consistently and in the right place. Keep writing.
Oh I was going to write about Weight Watchers and writing, but since they changed the program that subject will be tackled in 2011. Still good stuff.

Home General Early Season Analysis: Behind Spurs' low three-point attempts and transition defense
Early Season Analysis: Behind Spurs' low three-point attempts and transition defense
Collin Reid
With just over a week of regular season basketball in the books, the 2017-2018 NBA season is officially in full swing. Although the San Antonio Spurs have only played four games, the numbers provide insight into how the Spurs have been able to win each game they have played so far and potential areas of improvement.
Last season, nearly 26% of shots the Spurs attempted came from behind the 3-point line, good for 24th in the league. This season, while still young, the Spurs have actually dropped to a league-lowest 18.2 3-point attempts per 100 shots. The increase in 3-point shooting league-wide is a relatively new trend. In the 2013-2014 season, no team attempted more than 30% of their field goal attempts from behind the arc. Last season, however, 11 teams did. While the Spurs have been slow adapters to this style of play already, their approach to 3-point shooting seems to be even more extreme this season.
The main reason for this has been the LaMarcus Aldridge-centric offense. Early in this season, the Spurs have been utilizing an inside-out style of play in which they get the ball to Aldridge in the post early in the possession and allow him to read the defense and either attack the basket or pass to a cutter or a player on the perimeter.
Corner 3's, of which the Spurs were early adopters in the early 00's, are the shortest possible 3-point attempt in the NBA. One of the easiest ways to get open, high-quality looks from the corners is to have a solid shooter stand outside the 3-point line near the baseline on one side of the court and run the primary action of a set on the other. Once the offense is able to draw the defense's attention towards the primary action and away from the shooter on the weak-side, they quickly rotate the ball to the shooter for what typically results in a fairly uncontested shot. An example of this type of play is the Spurs' "Hammer" set, which Project Spurs' own Paul Garcia outlined here.
When Aldridge has the ball in the post, however, there are usually two or three defenders between he and any teammate that would be in position for an open 3-point attempt on the weak-side. Getting the ball to that teammate would require either a risky pass from Aldridge or a series of passes that would take the ball out of the post and around the perimeter, giving the defense time to rotate. Last season the Spurs ranked 10th in the league in percentage of total shots attempted from the corners. Through four games this season, they rank 29th in that category.
The Spurs' defense, however, has continued to be solid despite missing one of the league's best perimeter defenders. The Spurs are currently ranked 5th in points allowed per possession and were ranked as high as 2nd before Wednesday night's game against the Miami Heat, where they were not as strong defensively as they had been in the previous three games. Early this season, the Spurs have denied teams from grabbing offensive rebounds more than any other team in the league, helping them secure stops and denying opponents' easy put-backs.
One area for defensive improvement, however, has been transition defense. The Spurs have allowed 1.25 points per transition play, ranking them 20th in the league. The Houston Rockets, Golden State Warriors, and Oklahoma City Thunder each rank in the top 10 in frequency of total plays being considered transition plays so far this season. If the Spurs match up against any of those teams in the playoffs, as they are projected to do if they make a deep run, transition defense may be one of the most important factors to win a series against any of those teams.
The Spurs have plenty of time to improve, however, and the imminent return of Leonard should provide a much need boost to both the team's 3-point shooting and transition defense.

Indonesia in the Asian Century
Last night Agile Thinking attended a discussion between former Australian Foreign Minister Bob Carr and the former Indonesian Ambassador to the United Nations Dr Marty Natelegawa (right and left respectively in picture). Also in attendence were Asia business specialists from Morningstar, Accenture, KPMG and several academic institutions and NGO's.
Dr Natelegawa was upbeat about the benefits of Indonesia pursuing a larger foreign policy agenda and providing an example to other countries like Egypt transitioning from military rule. In 2012 Indonesia co-sponsored UN resolution 67/19 calling for Palestinian statehood.
Dr Natelegawa raised the issue of "congestion" of free trade agreements in the region including the Trans Pacific Partnership, ASEAN + 3 and numerous bilateral agreements. While greater economic integration and trade liberalisation is beneficial he cautioned against the complexity of negotiating multiple, perhaps duplicate agreements.
In responding to a question on the rise of Islamic State, Dr Natelegawa addressed the need to combat the underlying causes of Islamic extremism within societies championing greater inclusion of ethnic minorities.
Economic and political reforms in Indonesia have seen it become one of the world's fastest and most consistently growing economies. GDP has averaged 5.7 percent over the last 10 years and consumer spending is expected to grow 152 percent over the period 2014-2030. Nevertheless it is still at risk from capital flight and falling commodity prices.
The establishment of the ASEAN free trade agreement in 2015 is expected to add 29.9 percent to member state GDP over the first 5 years (Euromonitor). Eliminating costly fuel subsidies have enabled large-scale investment in infrastructure.
We will see Indonesia increasingly active in foreign policy issues, trade and commercial activities. The rise of Indonesia highlights the importance of Australia's bilateral relationship with Indonesia and the need to develop a less transactional approach to one grounded in shared issues and values. As Dr Natelegawa stated "Common enemies today are issues, not countries".

Bad Man Orange and the Yellow Vests | Open Revolt!
Indulge me in a wild conspiracy theory.
I would not be surprised to Learn that "Bad Man Orange" U.S. President Donald Trump and his Sith-Lord advisor Steve Bannon's forces have helped organize and are lending covert support to the French Yellow Vest near-insurrection. We may be seeing Bad Man Orange using the well-developed, by the United States, methods of 'Color Revolution' against his outspoken foreign ultra-liberal national enemies, who the Cuckold Macron is certainly a leader of, and in the interest of Popular Nationalism to create a stronger and more sane Europe.
I have certainly heard crazier suggestions.

The Renault EOLAB aerodynamics features
Posted on: 09-17-2014 by: Romain Nicolas
Renault presents EOLAB, a new prototype which explores ways to deliver ultra-low fuel consumption. It boasts NEDC combined cycle consumption of 1 liter/100km, equivalent to 22 g of CO2/km. To achieve such low figures, the designers focused their efforts on three main areas: minimizing weight, refining aerodynamics and using "Z.E. Hybrid" technology for all, a brand new initiative which permits zero emissions motoring during everyday use. The car's shape was designed to slice through air efficiently, while movable devices such as an active spoiler and lateral vanes perform the same way as ailerons.
Drag coefficient (CdA) reduced by 30 percent
EOLAB's CdA is 0.470 m² (A = 2.00 m²/ Cd = 0.235) which represents an overall reduction of 0.200 m² (around 30 percent). This lower drag coefficient results in a significant fuel consumption reduction at higher speeds. At a stable speed of 130 kph, for example, it accounts for a fuel consumption saving of 1.2 liters/100km in comparison with the benchmark vehicle.
This aerodynamic efficiency was achieved by combining several factors:
Innovative approach which includes a narrower rear track and a lower roofline without detracting from cabin space.
Carefully designed rear body panels.
Incorporation of active systems.
NOTE: the measure of a vehicle's overall aerodynamic efficiency is its CdA, i.e. the vehicle's frontal section (A) expressed in square meters multiplied by its drag coefficient (Cd). The CdA of the Clio IV, for example, is 0.670 m², which is a good average for its segment. However, CdA gains should not be achieved to the detriment of design considerations or other characteristics, such as cabin space.
Active spoiler for the EOLAB
At the same time, the aerodynamicists focused on a variety of technological solutions and innovations. EOLAB's front bumper, for example, is equipped with an active spoiler that lowers by 10 cm at speeds in excess of 70 kph in order to restrict airflow beneath the car. Even when a vehicle is designed with a flat underbody, there are still a number of asperities that can detract from aerodynamic efficiency.
Aerodynamic flaps
Another mobile feature of EOLAB's aerodynamic package is the 40 cm x 10 cm vertically-positioned flaps that are visible on the rear bumper, rearward of the rear wheels. At speeds in excess of 70 kph, these flaps open by 6 cm in order to ensure that as much of the airflow as possible stays attached to the vehicle as it moves forward. Without this solution, passing air has a tendency to become detached from the vehicle's sides too early after passing the rear wheels and this has a negative effect on drag. In the open position, airflow remains attached to the car as far rearward as possible, right to the trailing edge of the bumper. "These flaps tauten the airflow and prevent turbulence which otherwise acts as a sort of aerodynamic brake," explains William Becamel, the aerodynamics expert who worked on the project.
Active wheels
The teams that worked on EOLAB took a close look at its wheels, too. In a perfect aerodynamic world, the rims would be covered and smooth. This is rarely the case, however, essentially for design – and brake cooling – related reasons. An ingenious system was consequently designed whereby the rims are covered whenever the brakes do not need to be cooled, thereby reconciling design and aerodynamic efficiency considerations. The system is controlled by a temperature sensor built into the rims.
Tires designed for aerodynamics by Michelin
To further perfect EOLAB's aerodynamic performance, it is fitted with particularly narrow, 145 mm-wide tires. That's 40 mm narrower than the smallest tires available for the Clio IV. Michelin and Renault's designers worked on the tread pattern to give a visual impression of width, while the sidewalls were designed to exude an impression of light weight. At the same time, tire supplier Michelin optimized the casing and tread to minimize rolling resistance while maintaining adapted levels of safety and performance. The tires' rolling resistance is 15 percent lower than those of the Clio IV. These tires are also lighter, and their profile has been honed to minimize drag.
Michelin's engineers have designed a tire in the entirely new 145/70 R 17 size, specifically for the Renault prototype, a model that seeks to deliver superior aerodynamics and energy efficiency. A narrow tire with a long diameter simultaneously improves performance in several areas:
Efficiency, first of all, thanks to the tire's lower rolling resistance and better aerodynamics.
Aquaplaning resistance due to the more pronounced bow effect created by narrow tires with a wide diameter.
The bigger diameter also enhances comfort by more effectively absorbing irregularities in the road surface.
In addition, the tire's narrower, longer contact patch reduces noise.
The tire's unusual size contributes to the overall styling of the prototype, whose sporty profile and performance features are accentuated by the new tire markings, using Michelin Premium Touch technology to give the markings and tire design a striking, velvet appearance while at the same time reducing the tire's aerodynamic drag.

Romain's opinion:
I think that this kind of demonstrator is not hard to build as there is no compromise with cost, industrialization, after-market aspects. Do you think that Renault will go further in this prototype study and make it become a production car?

Dog lost since 2007 found over 1K miles away in Pittsburgh
Katheryn Strang is reunited with her toy fox terrier "Dutchess" at Humane Animal Rescue on Friday, Oct. 11, 2019 in Pittsburgh. Humane Animal Rescue says the 14-year-old named Dutchess was found hungry, shivering and in serious need of a nail trim under a shed on Monday. The property owner took the dog to a Humane Animal Rescue location, where veterinarians were able to locate a microchip and trace the dog back to its owners in Boca Raton, Florida. (Steve Mellon/Pittsburgh Post-Gazette via AP)
PITTSBURGH (AP) — A toy fox terrier that disappeared from its family's south Florida home in 2007 was found this week over a thousand miles away in Pittsburgh and reunited with its owner on Friday.
The 14-year-old named Dutchess was found hungry, shivering and in serious need of a nail trim under a shed on Monday, according to Humane Animal Rescue.
The property owner took the dog to a Humane Animal Rescue location, where staffers were able to locate a microchip and trace the dog back to its owners in Boca Raton, Florida.
The dog's owner, Katheryn Strang, drove all the way to Pittsburgh for an emotional reunion with Dutchess .
Boca Raton, Florida, is about 1,130 miles (18184.74 kilometers) from Pittsburgh.
Strang said she couldn't believe it when she got the call that her dog had been found after all these years.
She said her son opened the door after school one day and Dutchess got out and they never saw her again. They were living in Orlando at the time near a very busy street and she assumed the dog was either hit or scooped up by someone.
She checked shelters daily in the weeks after Dutchess went missing, and continued to pay the annual fee on the microchip, as well as update her contact information whenever she moved.
"They are like your babies. You don't give up hope," she said at a news conference after reuniting with Dutchess.
As she kissed and hugged her long-lost pet, she murmured to the dog: "Where have you been?"

POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. (AP) — Members of the Church of Satan are grieving the destruction of a historic "Halloween House" north of New York City that authorities say was set ablaze this week by an unidentified arsonist.
The historic home, built in 1900, served as an Addams Family-style hub for local adherents of the religion, the Poughkeepsie Journal reports. One member of the church likened the arson to a terrorist attack.


For the past couple I have been reading about Islam. What right wingers don't understand is that there is no way to reform dedicated terrorists The right wing seems determined to Radicalize as many moderate Muslims as possible. Just look at knuckleheads like Franklin Graham out there calling Islam an evil religion.
He's not even half as bad as the other "knuckleheads" that defend this religion of murder and death.
These same knot-heads defend a religion practiced by people that would happily slaughter them, then turn around to defend and argue in favor of all "gay rights" issues ! Even though this religion of death is well known for what they do to gays.
Some will say that ALL "religion" is evil.
We've even seen atheists claim that communism doesn't have anything to do with atheism, even as the communist manifesto explicitly supports atheism over belief in a supernatural power, and was the practice of each communist gov't. established in the world.
Practitioners of atheism should instead throw communists under the ideological bus, noting their betrayal of atheist or agnostic principles like secular humanism. Just as any rational believer in a religion would throw an extremist practitioner from their group, under the same bus. They jumped the fence, went off the ranch, checked out & got lost. Now they are just a pancake on the road to nutjob-land, because we threw them under the bus. Ain't rocket science. Moderates should always win.
I don't think God is a moderate and he will win.
Free will removes the contradiction of a deity creating a being whose affairs must be micro-managed. In this case, it is up to people of a given belief to do both: Work with others who share their beliefs, and throw hypocrites under the ideological bus. If people pretend to let their deity or belief system correct all their defects, they betray the proven capacity to exercise their free will in a positive manner. When we are capable, we are obligated to cleanse the worst behaviors within groups who share our beliefs.
What is a moderate ?
Yesterdays "moderate" is today's "radical."
... today's moderate is tomorrows radical.
The word is meaningless, it changes with the winds of humanities current moods - and we're very moody.
God isn't a moderate, a radical, a leftist or a "republican."
God is pretty much an absolutist. Nothing wishy washy there. There are moral absolutes and no moral relativism. No situational ethics that define a moderate.
Wrong again. If you look at world history over the past three thousand years you would realize that there are no absolute moral values. It should be noted that unlike the Jewish Christian bible the Koran does not sanction the murder of women and children. The nice thing about both religions. If your interests are served by showing tolerance to other peoples you can find scriptural support and conversely if you think your interests are best served by hostility you can find it in the good books.Mohamad recognized the god worshiped by Jews and Christians is the same god worshiped by Muslims.
People are mere mortals. We are responsible for purging extremists within our groups, when they violate our beliefs and place us in danger.
Yet there is a small, but loud movement that wants God to follow human "moderation" - as currently defined.
As I said earlier about moderation; "The word is meaningless, it changes with the winds of humanities current moods - and we're very moody."
The fantasy that God will follow our wishes, our "moderation" has always been with us.
Why is it that people who don't believe the Bible to be the final authority on morality – some of those in Hollywood, for example – feel the need to point out to people who do believe it how their theology is wrong?
.. the favorite Bible verse of those who don't believe the Bible is Matthew 7:1 where Jesus says: "Judge not, that you be not judged." As with most verses in the Scripture, it's helpful to read the "before and after" so that the meaning is in proper context.
Read in context, it is clear in this verse that Jesus is warning against self-righteousness and hypocrisy. He is not preaching sexual freedom. But in popular culture, what happens to this idea of not judging is that whenever a Christian points out that a certain behavior is immoral or sinful according to the Bible, then that person or group of people is immediately attacked by those who don't believe the Bible and called "self-righteous" or "religious fanatics."
And who isn't against self-righteousness? It's one of the most off-putting personality traits someone can have. People who practice self-righteousness or display a "holier than thou" attitude usually don't have many friends. But it is ironic that people who do not believe the Bible to be the final authority on morality feel the need to point out to people who do how their theology is wrong.
In fact, some of those folks are reading this now and are about to post a message against Tim Wildmon for being a self-righteous man who tries to tell other people how to live. These folks, of course, will be passing judgment on me declaring that I should not be passing judgment when really I haven't passed any judgment at all in this particular column. I have only written about the issue of passing judgment.
If you think about it, it's really not judging that people have a problem with – it's judging negatively. For example, no one gets upset when someone says something complimentary about another's behavior, even though by doing so they have passed judgment. But it's a judgment of affirmation. No, it's only when they say something of disapproval that the offended party then comes back with "Quit judging me!"
The truth is that the Bible, including the teachings of Jesus, is full of judgment. It tells us what is good and what is evil. It tells us what is right and what is wrong. It tells us what is moral and what is immoral. It tells us what to practice and what to shun. If you don't want to be accountable for your life and your behavior, it's best to avoid the Bible – and many do so for that very reason.
Every day the goal of Christians should be to obey and live out what the Bible teaches, both inwardly and outwardly. Sometimes we will fail because, as long as we are here on earth, we have to contend with the war between the spirit and the flesh. It is unnatural to deny the flesh, so by the grace of God we have to discipline ourselves to submit to God's will. It's also called self-control. This is a day-to-day process. This is also why humility is so important. Humility is the opposite of arrogance or self-righteousness, which brings us back to judging. We are all capable of doing bad things, sometimes very bad things. For that reason, we should be careful not to think too highly of ourselves and pray – lest we also fall into sin ourselves.
Micah 6:8 says: "He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God."
We know what the bible says but nobody knows what Jesus said. All the stuff attributed to him was written down 70 years after his death. In other words it's probably fake good news.That doesn't men the bible has no value and many good people try to live by it.
Did you ever hear the term "The Inspired Word of God?"
We can't know the exact dates when these words were recorded. Because of that, doesn't mean they aren't real.
.... they began to write the teachings of Jesus within the first year after His crucifixion in 30 AD.
And because of the numbers of new believers (Acts 2-5), it was necessary for the apostles to write down Jesus' words of the New Covenant before the Passover of 31 AD (Matt. 26:17-30; John 13-17).
Not that any of this will matter to people who wish to reject Gods word of course.

Cigar-shaped interstellar visitor 'Oumuamua classified as comet
By Will Dunham
Reuters June 27, 2018

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The reddish cigar-shaped object called 'Oumuamua spotted last year tumbling through space is a comet, scientists said on Wednesday, solving the mystery over how to classify the first interstellar object found passing through our solar system.
Astronomers said they closely examined the trajectory of 'Oumuamua, which measures about a half-mile (800 meters) long, as it speeds through our cosmic neighborhood after being evicted somehow from a distant star system.
They found that it is deviating slightly from a path that would be explained purely by the Sun's gravitational pull because of what apparently is a very small emission of gas from its surface, indicative of a comet.
'Oumuamua (pronounced oh-MOO-uh-MOO-uh) initially was pegged as a comet, but it lacks the tail of gas and dust characteristic of many comets, and some scientists argued that it was perhaps a dry asteroid.
"It does not display any tail in any observation we obtained," said astronomer Marco Micheli of the European Space Agency's SSA-NEO Coordination Centre in Italy, who led the study, published in the journal Nature.
"However, our analysis shows that the amount of emitted gas that is needed to generate this extra force we see would have been so small as to be invisible in our observations," he said in an email.
This "extra force" acting on the object's trajectory amounts to only about 0.1 percent of the Sun's gravitational attraction.
'Oumuamua was first detected last October by the University of Hawaii's Pan-STARRS1 telescope. Its name refers in the native Hawaiian language to a messenger arriving from a great distance.
It previously slingshot past the Sun traveling at roughly 196,000 miles per hour (315,000 km per hour) and is heading out of the solar system in the direction of the constellation Pegasus. 'Oumuamua as of last month was roughly the same distance from the Sun as Jupiter.
Astronomers suspect that more visitors from other star systems will be discovered passing through our solar system.
"The discovery of 'Oumuamua is an absolute first in the field, and it provided our first opportunity to study an object coming from another star and planetary system," Micheli said. "The existence of these objects was expected, but seeing one for the first time, and being able to study it in detail, is a unique chance to know more on these distant systems, and how they formed."

Tag: Mars Rover Curiosity
Meanwhile, Curiosity Has Found Something Shiny On Mars
This image was taken by Curiosity's ChemCam: Remote Micro-Imager (CHEMCAM_RMI) on Sol 2242 (Nov. 26) [NASA/JPL-Caltech/LANL]
It's always fun to browse through the raw image archive for any Mars mission. You see rocks, dust, more rocks and more dust, but then you see something strange, sitting atop the dirt that is like nothing you've seen before.
Once, there was a piece of plastic on the ground in front of Curiosity. Plastic! Not alien plastic though, it was likely something that fell off the rover. Mars rover Opportunity even found strange "blueberries" scattered over Meridiani Planum that turned out to be spherical hematite inclusions, basically little balls of mineral that were formed via water action in Mars' ancient past.
Now there's a shiny rock just sitting there, in front of Curiosity.
Mars isn't known for its shiny objects. Everything is a ruddy color (because of the iron-oxide-laced dust that covers everything) and dull. So, when mission controllers saw this small shiny object, it became a focus of interest. They've even named it "Little Colonsay." Don't get too excited for an explanation that's too outlandish, but it will be an interesting find if it turns out to be what scientists think it is.
"The planning team thinks it might be a meteorite because it is so shiny," writes Susanne Schwenzer, Curiosity mission team member.
Meteorites have been discovered on Mars before by the Mars rovers — and Curiosity is no stranger to finding space rocks strewn on the ground — though it would still be a rare find by Curiosity if it does turn out to be a (likely) metallic chunk of space rock. As pointed out by Schwenzer, the team intend to carry out further analysis of the sample, as well as some other interesting rocks, with Curiosity's ChemCam instrument to decipher what it's made of.
So as we welcome the InSight mission to the Red Planet to begin its unprecedented study of Mars' interior, always remember there's still plenty of gems sitting on the surface waiting to be found.

On Mars, There's No Asphalt

If you're like me, you hang off every news release and new photo from our tenacious Mars rover Curiosity. The awesome one-ton, six-wheeled robot is, after all, exploring a very alien landscape. But if there's one thing I've learned from the mission, Mars is far from being a truly alien place. Sure, we can't breath the thin frigid air, but we can certainly recognize similar geological processes that we have on Earth, and, most intriguingly, regions that would have once been habitable for life as we know it. This doesn't mean there was life, just that once upon a time parts of Gale Crater would have been pretty cozy for terrestrial microbes. Personally, I find that notion fascinating.
But, way back in May, I noticed something awry with our beloved rover's wheels. Curiosity's beautiful aircraft-grade aluminum wheels were looking rather beaten up. Punctures had appeared. Fearing the worst I reached out to NASA to find out what was going on. After a friendly email exchange with lead rover driver Matt Heverly, I felt a lot more at ease: The damage was predicted; dings, scratches, even holes were expected to appear in the thinnest (0.75 mm thick) aluminum between the treads. On Mars, after all, there is no asphalt. Also, erosion is a slower-paced affair in the thin winds and dry environment — sharp, fractured rocks protrude, embedding themselves into the wheels at every slow turn.
Then, on Friday, in a news update on Curiosity's progress, JPL scientists mentioned that they would be commanding the rover to drive over a comparatively smooth patch to evaluate the condition of the wheels as their condition is getting worse. But isn't that to be expected? Apparently not to this degree. "Dents and holes were anticipated, but the amount of wear appears to have accelerated in the past month or so," said Jim Erickson, project manager for the NASA Mars Science Laboratory at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif.
So what are we looking at here?

All of the wheels are exhibiting wear and tear, but this particular 'rip' in aluminum is by far the most dramatic. But what does that mean for Curiosity? We'll have to wait and see once JPL engineers have assessed their condition. Although this kind of damage has inevitably been worked into the the structural equations for the wheels' load-bearing capabilities, whichever way you look at it, damage like this is not good — especially as Curiosity hasn't even roved three miles yet.
But in the spirit of Mars exploration, Curiosity will soldier on regardless of how rough the red planet treats her.

Epic Mars Rover Curiosity Video of the "7 Minutes of Terror"
This video has been doing the rounds, so I posted it on Discovery News on Tuesday. My favorite comment from a reader was: "I need a clean pair of shorts." That means only one thing; it's time for some epic NASA-created CGI of the entry, descent and landing (a.k.a. "EDL") of the Mars Science Laboratory "Curiosity" set for landing on the Red Planet on August 5 at 9:30 p.m. (PST). To be honest, the video speaks for itself, so I'll hand over to EDL Engineer Adam Stelzner (who really needs his own TV show — love his monolog).
