Kipkoech clocked the world's fastest 12K at Cape Town 12 Onerun
Brillian Kipkoech produced the fastest 12km run in history to win the FNB Cape Town 12 ONERUN while fellow Kenyan Morris Gachanga secured a hat-trick of titles in the men's race at the IAAF Bronze Label event on Sunday May 19.
Uganda's Commonwealth 10,000m champion Stella Chesang went out hard with the intention of breaking Vivian Cheruiyot's 38:22 course record from 2015 and led a group of five women through the first 5km in 15:58.
Chesang, Kipkoech, Sofiya Chege and Degitu Azamirew maintained that pace through 10km, reached in 32:00, and then upped their tempo for the last two kilometres. With a strong final 500 metres, Kipkoech out-kicked her opponents to win in 38:05.
The top four women all finished inside the previous world best for the rarely-run distance with Chesang taking the runner-up spot in 38:09, just ahead of Chege (38:10) and Azamirew (38:11).
"When I made my move at 11km, I wanted to see how my body felt and it responded well, so I attacked again with about 500 metres to go and was able to move away," said Kipkoech. "I did not know about the course record, so I am very happy today."
The first kilometre in the men's race was covered in 2:47, prompting talks of a course record, but a slight headwind in the next few kilometres slowed the pace. All the main contenders, including defending champion Gachaga, were in the pack as they passed through 5km in 14:22.
The second 5km was covered in 13:50 as Abdallah Mande threw in numerous surges with Gachaga the only man capable of sticking with the Ugandan.
As the lead duo reached 11km, South Africa's Stephen Mokoka had closed up on them until they attacked again in the final 500 metres with Gachaga emerging the winner in 33:38. Mande was second in 33:39 and Mokoka third (33:50).

Cape Town 12 Onerun
This fast flat route takes runners through a working harbour and into a quiet city centre for a scintillating, fast and furious finish; music, enthusiastic support and a later than usual start time for a road race. The FNB Cape Town 12 ONERUN, the most passionate and welcoming road race on the South African running calendar. ...
Chris Geils is running 1242 miles from Pretoria to Cape Town South Africa to raise awareness about disabilities
Chris Geils and 11 others have embarked on a journey, running from Pretoria to Cape Town South Africa, to raise awareness about disabilities.
The 41-year-old and team Ocal Global will leave the Mother City for Pretoria before starting an incredible non-stop, 24-hour-a-day challenge that spans two 100km (62 miles) over 10 days.
"The Ocal 2019 Journey for Change is being run not only to raise awareness around disability, but to raise funds for differently-abled children in the Northern Cape," said Geils.
"All these children have physical disabilities, most commonly resulting from cerebral palsy, spina bifida, amputations, genetic syndromes, spinal injuries and traumatic brain injuries."
He has committed to raising R25 000 ($1750) for the children's immediate mobility and day-to-day living needs, including wheelchairs, walkers, prosthetics and crutches.
"When I was 24 years old I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, a chronic inflammatory bowel disease with no known cure.
"Over the next six years, I'd yo-yo between states of being well, and then lows of feeling terrible and being in constant pain.
''Eating anything would leave me in pain and immediately running to the bathroom. At the age of 30, I decided to make a change and listen to my body. It was about this time that I started running.
''Thankfully, I'm well enough now to live a healthy, active lifestyle, but this could change at any moment and I want to make the good days count.
''It's for this reason that I want to be able to help and bring about change for the children in the Northern Cape."
Ocal Global founder Nicolene Anley said: "People are disabled not because of their condition - they're disabled by the poorly accessible world we currently live in.
''With all of those daily challenges, disability can be something that you create within yourself that disables you from living a life that's whole and that's full and that's meaningful."
They plan to finish their challenge in Cape Town, South Africa on May19.
Kesa Molotsane finished third at the FNB Cape Town 12 OneRun last year. She returns with a goal of climbing the podium again
Molotsane has started the year on a positive note, winning all three races run on local soil and finishing best of the SA women at the World Cross Country Championships in Aarhus, Denmark on March 30, in very tough conditions.
Most telling was her win at the SA Cross Country Trials in Pretoria in January where she earned her place on the team to the World Cross Country Championships.
The strength that she has gained in training for the World Cross Country Championships and the experience of racing under very trying conditions at those championships will help her at the fifth Cape Town 12 ONERUN.
Molotsane has rapidly developed into one of SA's best middle distance athletes with dominating performances in 2017 and 2018, and will be one of the big favorites.
Already confirmed is Glenrose Xaba who had some incredible duels with Molotsane last year. The two met on nine occasions in 2018, with Molotsane coming out tops 6-3 in the head-to-head. With both Xaba and Molotsane looking to dominate the SA road running scene, the ONERUN may well be the start of a great rivalry of the year.
"Last year was my first experience of the ONERUN. It was incredible, running against some of the best in the world through the streets of Cape Town and all that support. I have to come back again this year," said Molotsane. "The vibe was incredible."
Only Irvette van Zyl, twins Lebo and Lebogang Phalula have run faster over the 12km route than Molotsane, a statistic the 27-year-old, with a personal best of 32:56, would dearly love to rectify. And it is well within her reach.
Twenty-year-old Joel Ayeko from Uganda is hoping to make an impact at the 2019 FNB Cape Town 12 OneRun
Ayeko is a relative newcomer to the sport, making his first appearance in 2016 at the Pettinengo 9,6km race in Italy, where he finished 14th behind illustrious names such as multiple world champion, Ezekiel Kemboi, and Jacob Kiplimo.
Ayeko did not race in 2017, but was back on the roads in 2018, winning the Mastboscreda Cross Country Race in January, and then the Parelloop 10km in March, where he ran a time of 29:06.
Ayeko is one of those athletes who strongly believes that Cross Country is a very important part of building a middle-distance runner's career and has already lined up in two races this year, placing 5th at the National Ugandan Cross Country Trials in February, before going on to finish 10th at the World Cross Country Championships in Aarhus, Denmark on 30 March.
That result in Denmark speaks volumes, when one takes a look at the names that finished ahead of Ayeko. The world title was won by Joshua Cheptegei, the 15km world record-holder.
Jacob Kiplimo, the 10 000m World Junior Champion silver medalist of 2018 was second. Two-time winner and two-time world half-marathon champion, Geoffrey Kamworor was third.
The second-fastest ever runner over 10km, Rhonex Kipruto, could only finish 7th. So this was an incredible run by one so young and new to the sport.
"I am excited to come to Cape Town. I have heard lots of good things about the FNB Cape Town 12 ONERUN from my fellow countrymen, and know that this is a fast race with great competition.
So if I can run well here, then I know I am improving all the time," said Ayeko. "I know about the fast finish in the final kilometre and am preparing for it."
FNB Cape Town 12 ONERUN has been awarded the Bronze Label-status by the IAAF
"We are thrilled to receive this fantastic accolade," says Michael Meyer, Managing Director Stillwater Sports. "Our vision has always been to host a world class event on South African soil. Since its inception in 2015 the FNB Cape Town 12 ONERUN has pushed the boundaries in the sport of road running.
The event boasts an unconventional 12km route that encourages mass participation while also featuring an Elite Race element. Runners of all ages (male and female) and walks of life are invited to celebrate the magnificent city of Cape Town.
The 12km route highlights iconic landmarks and magnificent views while featuring lively performances from some of Cape Town's leading performing arts groups."
"The FNB Cape Town 12 ONERUN ticks all the boxes of a Bronze Label event," continues Meyer. "The benefits of this sought after status include (but are not limited to): a greater recognition both for leading national and international athletes, international media coverage as the results are shared with IAAF's Network, greater international exposure for both the race and the host city, while the event will enjoy the highest standard of organisation and will be held on the best available, fast courses. To say that we are thrilled with the achievement would be an understatement. It's a welcomed reward for years of planning and hard work. We're excited for 2019 and cannot wait to take the event to the next level."
"FNB is immensely proud to be a title sponsor of the FNB Cape Town 12 ONERUN. The IAAF Bronze Label-status signifies the quality and hard work that goes into this prestigious race.
This would not have been possible without the invaluable support from our clients, families, athletes and running enthusiasts. We encourage all of you to continue participating and take this race to even greater heights," says Bonga Sebesho, Head of Sponsorships at FNB.
"Western Province Athletics (WPA) is a proud partner of the FNB Cape Town 12 ONERUN," says Lester Cameron, WPA President. "Receiving the IAAF Bronze Label-status is a remarkable achievement. We are excited to celebrate the 5th running of Cape Town's premier 12km road run and look forward to welcoming all local and international competitors who will push their bodies to the limit on Sunday, 19 May 2019. WPA is proud of the continued growth of the sport of road running in South Africa.
The rise in athletics awareness and the commitment from the sponsors and organisers to provide top quality events is truly amazing. We are indeed one team that wants to achieve one dream."
Morris Gachaga wins Cape Town 12 OneRun 15 seconds off his world best time for 12k
Morris Gachaga and Jackline Chepngeno made it a Kenyan double, taking line honours at the FNB CApe Town 12 ONERUN in dramatic fashion on Sunday May 20. Almost 13 000 runners of all shapes and sizes finished the traditional harbourside 12km dash from Milnerton into the city centre in perfect running conditions, the colourful mass transforming the usual silent Sunday city centre into a bustling party-town. Gachaga crossed the finish line in Bree Street in 33:42, some 15 seconds off of his world best time from 2017. "Racing for the win was more important than chasing my time from last year," Gachaga said after the race. "We did start out fast, for the first three kilometres we were on record pace, but then we started watching each other and the pace dropped a bit." Those first 3km were passed in 8:15, 5km going by in 14:02 with all the main contenders in the lead pack of twelve athletes. Gachaga, after driving the pace to the 3km mark, then slipped back into the pack with Kenya's Victor Chumo taking up the front running. The South African challenge fell away just after 8km which was covered in 22:47, with only Stephen Mokoka, the 2016 Champion, still in the mix. 10km came and went in 28:25 and it was at this point that Gachaga and Chumo kicked again, dragging Mande Bushendich with them. On the climb up Wale Street, Chumo surged again and as they entered the final 800m in Bree Street, Chumo and Gachaga had broken away from John Langat (Kenya), Abdallah Mande and Mande Bushendich, with Mokoka dropping off further. Chumo and Gachaga raced down Bree Street where Gachaga's knowledge of the route giving him the advantage as he timed his sprint to the line perfectly, passing Chumbo in the final 300m to defend his title. The female race saw Kenya's Jackline Chepngeno take control after 2km. Uganda's Stella Chesang, who was widely tipped to win the race after winning the 10 000m title at the 2018 Commonwealth Games, hung on till 9km, before she had to give way to the relentless surging of Chepngeno. For Chepngeno the victory was the perfect start to 2018 after having taken 2017 off from racing, having given birth to her son. "The last kilometre I was worried about Stella (Chesang) after her win in Brisbane (Commonwealth Games), so I ran really hard. I did not know where she was, so I needed to race to the line," said Chepngeno. "Winning was really good for me. This was my first race back after my pregnancy and it is a big confidence booster for me." (05/20/2018) Views: 1,252 ⚡AMP
Record holder Stephen Mokoka heads local charge at Cape Town 12 Onerun
The local line-up at the Cape Town 12 OneRun should be spearheaded by national 10km record holder Stephen Mokoka, who set the SA 12km best of 33:34 to win the race in 2016. After finishing sixth in the 10 000m final at the recent Gold Coast Commonwealth Games, Mokoka is set to feature alongside in-form compatriot David Manja, who beat an international field to win the Two Oceans Half-Marathon in March. "If we go through 10km in around 28 minutes, we can break Morris' record… that last 800m of the race is incredibly fast," Mokoka said. Meanwhile, Commonwealth Games 10 000m champion Stella Chesang of Uganda was expected to turn out as the firm favourite in the women's race. She was up against local favorite Kesa Molotsane, who recently bagged the 5 000m and 10 000m double at the SA Student Championships, and Western Cape star Nolene Conrad.

Uganda's Chesang a Gold Medalist will travel to South Africa to take part in the FNB Cape Town 12 Onerun
Uganda's Stella Chesang will travel to South Africa to take part in the FNB Cape Town 12 Onerun slated for May 20th. Timothy Masaba, the administrator at the Uganda Athletics Federation (UAF) confirmed Tuesday that Chesang has been invited for the event to run in the 12kn run. "It is good for her to use such runs to improve on the speed," added Masaba. Chesang won a gold medal in the 10,000m race at the 2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games in Australia. The Uganda Police recognized her efforts by promoting her to the rank of Inspector of Police (IP) together with Joshua Kiprui Cheptegei and Mercyline Chelangat. She made her debut in a top international event in 2013 at the World Youth Athletics Championships in Donetsk, Ukraine. (05/17/2018) Views: 1,307 ⚡AMP
Morris Gachaga ran the world's best time for 12K in Cape Town last year and on Sunday wants to go faster
The fastest man ever over 12K will return to defend his title at the FNB Cape Town 12 ONERUN on Sunday. Morris Gachaga, 23, stormed to a 33min 27sec win at last year's event to set the fastest time ever recorded over the 12km distance. The Kenyan is in even better shape than before. On February 9 this year, he finished fifth in the RAK Ras Al Khaimah Half Marathon, clocking 59:36. That was followed up with a third-place finish in Lisbon where he covered the Half marathon in 60:17 on March 11, before heading off to London as pacemaker to Eliud Kipchoge, who won the 2018 London Marathon. The 59:36 (in the RAK Ras Al Khaimah Half Marathon) places Gachaga eighth in the world this year over the half marathon and it's a personal best for him over the distance by more than a minute. Clearly, he will be coming into the race on May 20 in the best shape of his life and could potentially challenge his own 'record' time if the rest of the field go with the required pace. 'I'm looking forward to coming back to Cape Town to defend my title,' says Gachaga. 'I have good memories of that race and want to do well. I am in great shape. If things go well, maybe I can better my 33:27 and lower the world best.' This will be Gachaga's third visit to South Africa and his second to Cape Town since running that world best. The 12km is a non-standard race and hence the time is ratified as a world best, not a world record. More than 14,000 runners took to the streets of Cape Town last year and more are expected on Sunday. Many run i customes. (05/15/2018) Views: 1,144 ⚡AMP

Twitter for BlackBerry shakes the beta label
In this article: app world, AppWorld, blackberry, rim, twitter
Though RIM's official Twitter client for BlackBerry devices has been slinking around in public beta form for a solid three months now, we understand -- not everyone is okay using software that's rough around the edges. And if anything, that probably applies more to BlackBerry users, many of whom are using their devices to do... you know, really important work-related things. On that note, you might be excited to learn that the company's official Twitter client has gone gold, meaning it's theoretically less likely to crash than any version that's come before it, which means you can go about your high-productivity business without fear that your secret addiction to social networking will bring your Bold 9700 crashing down in a spectacular ball of flame and molten circuitry. Not to say the beta was prone to do that, of course, but you can be extra sure of it now. If you're interested, looks like you should be able to find it in App World right away.

Use of Deadly Force Against Dangerous Animals
When it comes to the use of force and deadly force to defend oneself, others, or property from animal attacks, Michigan law is a hodgepodge of different laws that are not contained in just one section of statutes.
Statutes justifying conduct, including self-defense, against certain specific large carnivores and other dangerous wild animals do exist, but no law provides general immunity from prosecution for protecting yourself or others against wild animal attacks. While there are legitimate reasons why the use of deadly force against animals in Michigan is justifiable, it is important to retain a skilled gun attorney that can build a defense and advocate for you.
Large Carnivores Including Bears and Cougars
According to Michigan's Large Carnivore Act, § 287.1111, a person is permitted to kill a large carnivore if the person sees a large carnivore chasing, attacking, injuring, or killing a person, livestock, or poultry. In that instance, the use of deadly force against animals in Michigan is justified.
This law also protects an actor for the killing of a mammalian pet (including dogs or cats). It permits the killing of such animals and protects a person acting in self-defense or the defense of others from being sued for damages. However, if another person owns the large carnivore and possesses a proper permit, then the value of the animal may be recovered.
It is important to know how the law defines large carnivore. According to § 287.1102(f), a large carnivore is any type of wild or captive bred cat, including by way of example, a lion, leopard, jaguar, tiger, cougar, panther, and cheetah. Bears are also considered large carnivores but wolves and coyotes are conspicuously absent from this definition.
Other Dangerous Wild Animals
Animals, even dangerous animals, have a high degree of protection in Michigan. That does not mean a person cannot ever kill a dangerous wild animal in self-defense, but it does mean that doing so is wrought with potential civil or criminal liabilities.
According to Michigan law, § 287.321, a dangerous animal means a dog or other animal that bites or attacks a person, or a dog that bites or attacks and causes serious injury or death to another dog. The use of deadly force against animals in Michigan, specifically against dogs, is a little more
If a dog has killed or caused serious injury to a person, this dog cannot be destroyed without a court becoming involved and essentially approving the animal's destruction. In other words, a court order may, in fact, be necessary before the animal can be killed.
Michigan's dog law, in § 287.279, provides that any person may kill any dog that they see in the act of pursuing, worrying, or wounding any livestock or poultry or attacking persons, and there shall be no liability for such killing. Otherwise, it is always unlawful for any person, other than a law enforcement officer, to kill or injure any dog that has a license tag for the current year.
Is it Legal to Kill a Dangerous Animal In Self-Defense in Michigan?
The law regarding the self-defense killing of dangerous animals, including wolves and coyotes, is not specifically enumerated. This means a person has no specific right to shoot any animal, other than a dog, in self-defense or the defense of others, even if he or she has an honest and reasonable belief that death or great bodily injury is imminent.
The one exception pertains to dogs that are attacking persons (note the present tense).
Because no ownership interest is involved, there is no requirement of obtaining a court order prior to the destruction of a wild animal. However, a permit or hunting license may or may be required, depending on the situation. Birds are highly protected in Michigan, so it is always precarious to shoot them without a permit.
What is the Role of a Department of Natural Resources Officer?
If a person ever had occasion to kill a dangerous animal in self-defense, then it would be up to a Department of Natural Resources (DNR) officer to decide what would happen.
If the DNR finds that the person unreasonably killed the bear or any other wild animal, which basically means the officer does not think the person was really in danger, then the person who killed the animal could be criminally charged with a misdemeanor for doing so with no permit.
It is best to check with a DNR office and to request a permit before attempting to address or eliminate any nuisance animals, including those that are bothering livestock and/or crops. If you want to know more about the use of deadly force against animals in Michigan, speak with a DNR officer and, contact a skilled gun attorney that can advise you of your rights.

The secret to getting the judgement you desire is establishing and preserving an outstanding interaction pipeline with your criminal defense attorney.
Despite your innocence or guilt, a knowledgeable lawyer will protect your rights. They are not here to pass judgment on you - whether you're to blame or not, they will look at your case objectively and safeguard your rights. Their job is to ensure those who're innocent have the best outcomes and those who're guilty not given too-harsh sentences. The expertise of a talented legal expert is priceless when you require legal assistance you can trust.
A good temper is a sign of an accountable criminal defense attorney who understands exactly what he's doing. Defense lawyers often need to manage unanticipated captain hook. To prevent making mistakes often each time a curve ball is thrown at your legal representative while representing your legal case, he or she needs to keep a cool head. Speak with to some of your attorney's previous customers to see how they manage tension and surprise before signing a contract.
Legal agents typically manage more than one case at a time, dividing their attention among them as essential. No matter who is first, they have to remain in the position to spend the time and effort needed for your case. You should advise your criminal defense lawyer to provide your case the important attention so about win it. By doing enough research study prior to picking an attorney, you might get an idea of how conscientious he or she has to do with moving cases forward in a timely manner.
Trustworthy legal specialists won't ever ask their clients to fund expenses that are not needed. The best lawyers don't watch on the clock throughout their deal with a case or charge customers for each and every brief contact. Any lawyers you may think about hiring ought to be completely looked into. Go on the internet to find details on legal consultants of interest to you.

After a long, tiring day of ministry, Jesus calms a storm on the Sea of Galilee. The juxtaposition of His humanity and His divinity is seen beautifully through this scene. This episode looks at the events leading up to the dramatic event as well as some of the historical and geographical features that would have played a role in the event.
Hey everyone, Josh Hawkins here, this is episode 70 of Opening Up the Gospels. In the last episode, I gave an overview of the parables that Jesus taught and why He taught them. There were several important points I made related to how we interpret them, but perhaps the main thing I hope you took away was that Jesus is NOT redefining or reworking what the Jews understood the kingdom of God to be. He's not saying that the kingdom is a spiritual reality that was coming through His ministry, nor was it a proclamation that God was becoming king and re-taking ownership of the world through Jesus. He was simply clarifying who would actually inherit the promise of the kingdom. This is the same theme of John the Baptist's message, and this has been the same theme of Jesus' ministry up to this point as well. Remember, according to Mark 4, all of Jesus' disciples understood the meaning of the parables because He explained them. They weren't trying to figure out what they meant. This is reflected in their teaching later on in the book of Acts and the rest of the New Testament.
"On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, "Let us go across to the other side." And leaving the crowd, they took him with them in the boat, just as he was. And other boats were with him. And a great windstorm arose, and the waves were breaking into the boat, so that the boat was already filling. But he was in the stern, asleep on the cushion. And they woke him and said to him, "Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?" And he awoke and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, "Peace! Be still!" And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. He said to them, "Why are you so afraid? Have you still no faith?" And they were filled with great fear and said to one another, "Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?""
Mark tells us that it is on the same day as the speaking of the parables that this event happens. Jesus had spoken them to the crowds and then went inside and explained them to His disciples. Let's look at our map for a second. Jesus likely was in his hometown of Capernaum, and then when evening came He wanted to go across to the other side of the sea of Galilee. As we'll see in the next episode, Jesus and the disciples would eventually land in the region of the Gerasenes. It's hard to pinpoint exactly where this would have been because of different spellings in different Greek manuscripts of the New Testament, but it probably would have been somewhere in this region.
So Jesus gets in the boat with His disciples, they leave the crowd, and they launch out. And as they sailed, Jesus fell asleep in the stern of the small vessel. We aren't exactly sure what the boat was like, but some have speculated it might have been similar to a fishing boat that archaeologists unearthed in the Sea of Galilee in 1986. This particular boat was 26-1/2 feet long, 7-1/2 feet wide and 4-1/2 feet high. It was probably one the Sea of Galilee's largest class of ships. Fore and aft sections were most likely decked, and it probably had a mast, meaning it could be both sailed and rowed. Now there is no evidence that links Jesus and His disciples to this particular boat, but what's cool about the find is that it does give us a little bit of an idea as to what boats were like in the first century.
Mark tells us that Jesus was asleep in the back on a cushion, and as He slept a great storm arose on the Sea of Galilee. Because of the unique terrain around the sea, sudden windstorms like what we read about here were not uncommon. The lake's surface is approximately 1,280 feet below the surrounding hills and 690 feet below sea level. The sea measures 13 by 7.5 miles and has about 30 miles of shoreline. It's because of this dramatic drop in elevation that storms form.
And he awoke and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, "Peace! Be still!" And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. He said to them, "Why are you so afraid? Have you still no faith?" And they were filled with great fear and said to one another, "Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?""
I think it's important to see that the disciples' journey was not in believing that Jesus was the Messiah. They started out with that. Though as we will see, that belief was tested. But their bigger journey was discovering the fullness of who He really is - His divinity. The boundary lines of their understanding were expanded again and again and Jesus just continued to shatter them. Just when they were lulled into seeming understanding of Him by His humility, we see instances like this one where the enormity of His identity comes into view. That's the journey they are on, and as we'll see, by the end of the Gospels they are worshipping Him.
Now that's what happened in this scene, and this is why we have to meditate on the Gospels. We have to get past these events as merely Sunday school stories. We've got to put ourselves in the scene and carry it over to our context so that we feel the indescribable nearness of Jesus and How close He came in His humanity. For the disciples, this event was not something they just passed over without any emotion. It was so real to them, and through meditation, we have to go there. It's not complex - we just talk to Jesus, imagine what it was like, and trust the aid of the Holy Spirit to make the Gospels come alive to us and make Jesus a real person rather than just an idea. He's really going to be on the earth again, and we really will see Him with our own eyes just like Israel did in the first century.
"they saw the deeds of the Lord, his wondrous works in the deep. For he commanded and raised the stormy wind, which lifted up the waves of the sea. They mounted up to heaven; they went down to the depths; their courage melted away in their evil plight; they reeled and staggered like drunken men and were at their wits' end. Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress. He made the storm be still, and the waves of the sea were hushed. Then they were glad that the waters were quiet, and he brought them to their desired haven. Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love, for his wondrous works to the children of man! Let them extol him in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders."
Do you see what the Psalmist is saying here? The Lord is the one who commanded and raised the storm, and then He was the one who made the storm be still. Undoubtedly the disciples had this psalm in mind at some point after they had experienced it. Once again, their circuits were fried as they slowly began to realize who Jesus really was - the very God of Israel Himself.
In the next episode we'll find ourselves on the other side of the sea meeting up with a demonized man and watching Jesus heal him. Until then, you can go back and find any episodes you've missed on my website at www.joshuahawkins.com/gospels. God bless, and I hope to see you next time!

The mother of two has been updating her 2 million followers by sharing special moments and scenic snaps captured during the lavish vacation.
Stunning: Jana Kramer, 39, showcased her toned physique wearing a patterned bikini while posing at the front of the boat in a new Instagram photo series shared on Sunday

The talented star donned a colorful drawstring bikini along with matching bottoms that contained eye-catching hues of pink, orange, and blue.
Jana's stylish brunette locks were parted slightly to the side, and flowed down naturally past her shoulders.
The beauty opted to add a pair of fashionable, aviator-styled sunglasses to protect her eyes from the bright, warm sunshine.
She was surrounded by a large, rocky cave that towered behind her as she enjoyed a peaceful boat day during the exciting trip.
Scenic: The One Tree Hill alum shared an additional snap as she sat on the edge of the boat as the sun set in the horizon

The former Dancing With The Stars competitor could be seen sitting on the edge of the boat while flashing a cheerful smile as she glanced down at her lap.
The sun had begun to set, casting an orange-colored glow on the scenic landscape that stretched out behind her. The cool water rippled around her as the boat slowly started to head back towards land.
Jana concluded the photo series with two snaps of the stunning sunset as another smaller boat slowly passed by. The crystal blue sky held a darker blue color as the sun disappeared in the horizon.
'A boat and watching the sunset….my favorite way to come back to me,' the I Hope It Rains singer penned in the caption of the post, followed by the hashtag '#calm.'

Jana has shared previous photo series that captured special moments during the tropical getaway, including a snap of herself with her friend, Sara Brice, who had accompanied the star on the relaxing vacation.
In another photo, the talented beauty sprawled out on a swimming pool ledge as the hot sun shone down on her. Bright blue ocean water and a sandy shore could be seen in the distance.
The trip comes shortly after Jana revealed to Access that she was ready to enter the dating field once again following her split with fitness instructor, Ian Schinelli, which was confirmed in April 2022.
'I've just really focused on doing all of the-a lot of healing. And I'm, yeah, I feel like in a really good spot right now,' she had explained at the time.
The actress is mother to daughter, Jolie, 6, and four-year-old son, Jace, whom she shares with ex-husband and former NFL tight end, Mike Caussin. After tying the knot in 2015, their divorce was finalized in July 2021 following his battle with sex addiction and numerous reported infidelities.

Jana had announced on Instagram that the two had decided to go their separate ways in April 2021, and penned a message to her followers.
'It's time.' As I try to make sense of a reality I never wanted to believe could be possible again, those words have now become a reality. I've fought y'all. I've loved hard. I've forgiven. I've put the work in. I've given everything I have, and now I have nothing else to give.'
The mother of two added, 'I just can't fight any longer. It's time to heal.' When filing for divorce, she had cited, 'irreconcilable differences, inappropriate marital conduct, and adultery.'
She was also married to Johnathan Schaech from 2010 until their divorce was finalized one year later in 2011. Her first marriage was to Michael Gambino. They said 'I do' in 2004, and their divorce was finalized that same year.

Recent relationship: The country music singer recently dated fitness instructor, Ian Schinelli, until their split was confirmed in April 2022
Later on Sunday, Jana shared another update about her trip to her fans on her Instagram stories, only to reveal less than fun news about her journey back home.
The actress and singer explained in the short reel that, 'We just got delayed…yet again,' as she filmed herself using her phone camera while sitting next to her friend inside the airport.
At one point, she angled the camera towards her pal, Sara, who had traveled with her, and tiredly asked, 'Over it?'
To conclude the clip, Jana rubbed her tired eyes and expressed that they were delayed until one in the morning with the hope that no more delays would be announced.

Are Ninjas on Santa's Naughty or Nice List?
I've been a good Ninja. I don't bite my nails. I won't ask you for much, but I just want to see if these letters work. Some other Ninjas are getting smarter people to write their letters, but I write my own.
I want a grappling hook and a ninja-to and an axe but my mother said that I have to stop throwing rocks and fighting.
Please bring us a new Hombu Dojo, or keep the old one standing.
I would like a throwing star and some nice things to eat. I am very fond of pie.
I want a bank that you can't open so mama won't spend my money.
Please don't put my axe in my stocking for you might stretch it.
Bring my little brother Andrew something or else he'll punch my cat's eyes out.
Give some Christmas spirit to all of the Bujinkan, so we all can be a great family around the world.
I want you to bring me a sword that won't break when my brother Andrew throws it. You needn't bring Andrew anything. He's bad.
I have a cat named "Zachy." Please put some chipped beef and waffles in his stocking for he is a good cat.
Please show me how to travel through chimneys so i can visit and train with my Bujinkan friends all over the world.
For Xmas I want a shikomi, a big red set of yoroi, and some boxing gloves so I can whip Andrew.
Please bring me a few of Soke's videos, and a new baby sister--one that don't squall and make a fuss all the time.
By the way, our fire place is all stopped up. Just ring the bell and I will let you in and show you where the stockings are.
These are some of the things I want, too many to list them all. PM me and I can tell you the rest. Don't pay any attention to those other letters I wrote you.
That is all. Please don't bring us another baby brother.
Sunday will stay in my memory as one of these days that makes life enjoyable.
The sky was blue and the weather good, the air crispy. I attended the first class of the day with Noguchi who did his magic again, using the 3rd level of Shinden Fudô Ryû. As he has been doing it how for nearly a year he revisit these well known Techniques but twists them in a new manner so much that I'm totally lost. I love it!
We did some donkey kicking (uma geri?) in all directions to Uke's legs (front or back leg) with both hands on the ground and also hiting the body at tenchijin levels depending on the distance.
We did some "shoehorn" technique where we hit butsumetsu with the forefinger turning it into a fist after impact. Some kind of Niken waza.
Then it was sensei's class.
Unlike his usual behavior, sensei began the class without asking anyone to demonstrate. He was in a very good mood as it is often the case with him around his birthday.
Receiving the punch he merely stepped forward and outside shielding the attack with the whole body. He said again that the theme of the year was Muto dori and that was not about defending yourself unarmed when facing a weapon. It is about moving fearless into the attack in a Mushin state of mind. The key to Muto Dori is to go toward the attacker with your guts.
Sensei said that every move is like a triangle where uke and Tori represent the first two angles. Now the third angle is kukan or zero and this is not simply the interaction between the first two, no it is something more complex that is not definable. This world of the 3rd dimension, Sanjigen no Sekai is what the bujinkan has been working on since the discovery of juppo sesshô in 2003.
Your intention or the lack of it moves the opponent by triggering or destroying any of his abilities making him move like a puppet, Tori being the puppet master.
Muto dori is definitely the expression of natural power.
Last night we had a very good class with Sôke where he spoke a lot about concepts. Seishin no jutsu 精神 の 術 was the general idea he tried to convey.
Seishin means: mind, soul, heart, spirit, intention, and I have to admit that the variety of these meanings are all true.
When sensei moved it look like he was doing nothing, playing only with uke's mind. I was lucky to be uke a few times and each time I had the feeling I was totally lost. There was no danger, sensei was not violent, on the contrary, he was very relaxed as if not concerned by my useless attempts to get him.
He explained later that this Seishin no jutsu was based on the concept of kyojitsu no Kûkan 虚実 の 空間, or to put it in other words, to understand the 虚実混交, kyojitsu konkô, "a mishmash of truth and untruth, a mixture of fiction and fact". By "making believe" that reality is not and conversely, Sensei makes his uke react in a way that is always detrimental to his survival. Interacting with Inyo, and time and space at the same time, Sôke destroys our willingness to fight.
We have to develop this ability to act without intention (seishin) and not give any strength to the opponent. When sensei was demonstrating he said that it is done without grabbing but applied with the whole body. The difficulty is to "move" the attacker without really using force.
This is when sensei added one extra level to his Seishin no jutsu by speaking of Zero no chikara ゼロ の 力 or 無 の 力, the power of Zero. The power of zero is what is experience when we take the Sakki 殺 気 test.
In fact after this class I begin to understand the simple complexity of Hatsumi sensei's vision. The bujinkan is about releasing the "natural movement " and this is achieved when we are always one i.e. zero at the Sakki level.
Last week in class with Hatsumi Sensei, he remarked that this year's theme is really hard. What he meant was not that it was particularly hard for him, but that it seemed hard for all of us to understand it. During all my classes with him this year, he has provided glimpses, feelings, and filled me with images of what he is leading us to in training. I think this type of imagery is the point in itself and a strategy for fighting.
For many years, Soke has been advising us to move beyond common sense and technique. To do things that can't be understood. Because this type of fighting cannot be countered. It is a very Ninja strategy.
So I was watching him get his ukes to jump this way and that around the hombu tatami. They were filled with pain, but also great mental confusion. In most cases they appeared to be fighting themselves. How do you get opponents to fight themselves? To do the work for you so you can just play?
Soke gave us a tip that night that he described as 反応 映像 hannou eizou. You use the image of your opponent's reaction or response. Use the image that this creates in their mind. So they are fighting a mirage. Their own imagination.
No enemy is more frightening than the one hidden in the dark corners of the mind. This is why Ninjas were so scary. Their invisibility and mystery left only people's imagination to fill in the blanks.
Soke told us that to be able to do this in training you must simulate reality so that you'll be able to face it. Free up your imagination this way. He said that it is crucial that you get to a place where you are not trying to fight. You are not trying to do harm. You just keep going.
Have this relaxed state of mind to keep going in the midst of danger. Not denying reality. But staying calm enough to see images or having this kind of imagination that will carry you beyond danger.
The moment that you decide to fight back, that is where you will fail. Hatsumi Sensei said that if your mind is working too hard, it's just like you are whiting out everything. This kind of blindness to reality will make you the one fighting imaginary enemies. And they are really hard to kill.

Macau Central Library by Mecanoo
AASA 12 March 2021 12 March 2021 China, Library, Mecanoo Architecten, News
The new Macau Central Library will be located by the Tap Seac square in the historical center of Macau, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is situated on the site of the former Hotel Estoril (designed by the Macau- born Portuguese architect, Alfredo Victor Jorge Álvares), which was the first casino resort in Macau opened in 1962 and has been vacant since the 1990s.
Libraries are dynamic and continually changing. While clearly a contemporary structure within a traditional context, the new Central Library will provide a forward-thinking platform for influencing its surroundings. The adjacent square will become an integral part of the library, creating an activated public realm, which will encourage visitors to use all the public amenities that new library can offer.
https://youtu.be/-IXoSmBtRPU
The facade takes inspiration from the former modernist design of Hotel Estoril by filtering the light and creating a controlled indoor climate. An intriguing play of light and shadow is projected onto the floor and walls of the library. The continuous 'L' shape that defines the library volume and its uniform facade helps to redefine the square. The façade pattern acts as an extension of the bookshelves, from the inside out, from stack to protective shell.
The uniform skin wraps the library volume and opens up like a book page to the main entrance facing the Tap Seac square. Rather than imagining the new Central Library simply as a cultural destination in Macau, Mecanoo's design proposal is built around the idea of creating a journey – one that commences at city level via the Tap Seac Square and continues through a series of interconnected spaces, leading visitors all the way to the large reading rooms situated at the top level of the building.

The futurist mural designed by the Italian sculptor Oseo Acconci depicting Fortuna, the Roman goddess of chance, is preserved and integrated it in the new lobby welcoming the visitors. Within the library, a soaring atrium opens to the uppermost levels of the building, allowing visitors to orient themselves immediately to the activities within and inspiring them to move upwards through the library.
As visitors move upwards via the spacious tribunes, the building offers unique views out to the mountain and the Tap Seac Square. The current central library is also located by the same square and will continue serving as a more of an archival library after the new building has been taken into use. The key to the future success of the library lies in being inclusive, open and accessible. A place where everyone feels they belong. Source by Mecanoo.

The harvest of Aman paddy has begun in many parts of the country with higher yield rates, raising hopes for another bumper output this season.
The government is expecting 14.1 million tonnes of Aman output this year from 13.5 million tonnes last season.
Paddy prices are relatively higher this year than that of last year amid a plunge in rice imports, said both farmers and traders.
According to the Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS), Aman contributes 38 per cent, Boro 55 per cent and Aus 7.0 per cent of the country's total paddy supply.
The current output is showing a good trend, as more than 5.65 million hectares of land were farmed.
Sources said the acreage is 3.0 per cent higher than that of last season.
Six per cent of Aman harvest is done till October 11, according to a monitoring unit under the field services wing of the Department of Agriculture Extension (DAE).
The DAE said full harvest will begin in the first week of November and will continue to December.
Many farmers in Rajshahi, Barisal and Rangpur regions are now busy harvesting and marketing the staple.
Farmers have grown Aman at the highest 1.1 million hectares in Rangpur, 0.792 million hectares in Barisal and 0.78 million hectares in Rajshahi.
The DAE data shows Rajshahi and Barisal regions will give more than 50 per cent of aromatic and other finer rice varieties.
DAE field services wing director Dr Abdul Muyeed said they target 14.1 million tonnes of rice this season, including 2.8 million tonnes of aromatic varieties.
Farmers in places are getting more than 2.6 tonnes of rice per hectare which is a slight higher than last year's, he told the FE.
Mr Muyeed said favourable weather and a rise in the use of high-yielding varieties by the farmers have been contributing to such higher output.
Paddy prices are also much better now than that of last season, he observed.
Sharif Swapan, a Charaikhola farmer in Nilphamari, has grown aromatic Kalijeera in 3.0 bighas and coarse Swarna in 4.0 bighas this year (one bigha=33 decimals).
"We're getting 7.5 maunds (one maund=40 kilograms) from per bigha of Kalijeera land, which was 7.0 maunds last year," he told the FE.
Mr Swapan said the harvest of Swarna, now a major variety in Aman season, will start next month.
Kalijeera is selling at Tk 1,350-Tk 1400 a maund now, a ten per cent higher price than last year's, he added.
The farmer, however, grieved that rice blast has infested Swarna fields in some villages in his neighbouring Kishoreganj upazila.
He said the government must take necessary action to prevent the disease from spreading further.
Bangladesh Auto Major Husking Mill Owners Association president Md Abdur Rashid said Swarna was selling at Tk 880-Tk 900 per maund across the country last season.
The farmers are getting good prices for their produce, thanks to the imposition of higher duty on rice imports, he added.
Mr Rashid said daily rice import fell to 850 tonnes now, which was 10,600 tonnes before the duty was slapped.
The government re-imposed 28 per cent duty on rice import from June last.
Mr Rashid said the government's rice procurement from local millers also largely contributes to higher rice prices.
According to the Directorate General of Food, it purchased a total of 1.35 million tonnes of rice in Boro season at Tk 37 per kg.
Officials said the procurement from domestic sources will also continue this Aman season.
The Bangladesh Rice Research Institute estimates the national demand for rice at 33 million tonnes.
The BBS said overall rice production increased by 7.1 per cent to 36.2 million tonnes in fiscal year (FY) '18 from 33.79 million tonnes in FY '17.
The government has targeted to get 36.4 million tonnes of rice in the current fiscal.
Finer rice prices are still 48-54 per cent higher, but coarse and medium varieties are 1.0 to 7.0 per cent lower in retail market than that of a year ago, the Trading Corporation of Bangladesh data showed.

Fouke Council Says Issue Settled
Linked from Rick Ross website
by Jim Williamson
Alamo alarms account for large turnout
Fouke, Arkansas.—At the end of the Fouke City Council meeting Thursday night, a couple of members of the audience asked if the streets near the Tony Alamo Christian Ministries were closed. A council member said it was "all rumors" and the streets are open.
"You are all here because of rumors," Fouke Council Member Pam Attaway said a few minutes before the council adjourned. "The city took care of that a long time ago."
She also said the guards hired by the ministry were there for the protection of schoolchildren who attend a private school on the Tony Alamo Ministries property.
Another of the nearly 80 people who attended the council session said the guards still intimidate people driving along the highway and check car tags.
The meeting was videotaped, photographed and voice recorded.
Councilman Roger Mixon asked the council to discuss the opening of Circle Drive to connect to Forrest Street and then open Forrest Street from Circle Drive to Williams Circle.
Circle Drive is located next to the property of the Tony Alamo Ministries.
"This would actually create public access again from Highway 71 to Burgess Road. With such action, there should never again be a question of whether there is a city street or a private drive again," said Mixon, who is also the pastor of the United Pentecostal Church.
The council approved a survey of the property along those streets to determine the feasibility.
During the discussions, Attaway said the projects would be long-term and expensive.
Fouke City Attorney Rod LaGrone said property owners could donate the land to the city or the city would have to purchase the property at fair market value. He also said it would require environmental surveys.
Councilman James Sanders said the idea needs more study, but the council unanimously approved the survey.
The Texarkana Gazette was contacted about two weeks ago by frustrated and suspicious residents about the security company blocking access to the city street.
"We've got it settled and it's not going to be closed off," Fouke Mayor Cecil Smith said Monday afternoon about the security company blocking access to the street.
Tony Alamo, in a telephone interview, said a gunshot hit a window in the church about six months ago and R&G Security was hired to protect the entrances to the property. The security company is paid about $6,000 every two weeks to guard the entrance to South Circle Drive. The ministry has purchased the property on both sides of the street, which is about 500 feet in length.
Complaints about the street not being accessible were made to Alamo and the mayor.
Alamo said the mayor and some of the people who work in city hall have attended the church and understand the situation about security. Alamo said the security company has been ordered to stay at the end of the dead-end street and not to stop anyone.
"We've asked them to just write down their license plate number," said Alamo, in the interview with the Gazette.
Fouke city officials said no formal request to abandon or vacate the street has been made by Alamo Ministries.
Smith received reports of someone making racial slurs at some of the residents on South Circle Drive.
"They've been threatened before and this is not their first rodeo. It's no fabricated call. It was real," said Smith.
Mixon said several citizens have come to him to complain about guards on the street and not being allowed to pass by them. They're told it's a private drive and is part of the Alamo Ministry, according to reports Mixon receives.
Alamo, who is the founder of the ministries, has been described in national news media accounts as a "charismatic evangelist" who was convicted and served a federal prison sentence for evading federal income taxes.

Getting rid of your old mobile? 'Sustainability for Seychelles' is collecting e-waste in special bins
Victoria, Seychelles | September 17, 2015, Thursday @ 14:55 in Environment » GENERAL | By: Madiha Philo and Betymie Bonnelame | Views: 5210
Seychelles is becoming more and more like industrialized countries ( Joe Laurence, Seychelles News Agency)
(Seychelles News Agency) - Embracing the information technology age can be considered an achievement for a small island developing state like Seychelles in the Indian Ocean, where its 90,000 population has avid users of mobile phones, laptops and PCs.
However this IT consumption also produces large amounts of waste, and as a consequence technological devices account for 6 percent of the islands' electronic waste materials, according to a household survey on e-waste by Sustainability for Seychelles (S4S), a local non-governmental (NGO) organization which is helping to educate the islanders on the proper management and disposal of 'e-waste.'
In an interview with SNA, the S4S executive director, Michele Martin explained that the need to start educating the local community on how to properly dispose of broken, old or unused electronic devices, especially mobile phones, was evident, after the results of the household survey on e-waste was published in 2012.
The survey was carried in 103 households by S4S members of the Seychelles Wildlife Clubs and its partners. The data collected was extrapolated with the total number of households 24,142 according to the 2010 national population census and average weights of some items.
Results show that communication devices which includes, mobile phones, landline phones, fax machine and others accounted for 6 percent of total e-waste materials with computer equipment being the most common, reaching 31 percent.

"Seychelles is becoming more and more like industrialized countries, we are producing a lot of electronic waste so we need a plan to get rid of it…a lot of these metals can be reused…however we do not expect to have industries in Seychelles for the recycling or disposing of hazardous waste…but with the implementation of the waste policy by the government in 2013, we hope to have at least a plan," said Martin.
Handover of old mobiles phones in special bins
Until a national plan specifically targeting e-waste is implemented, S4S has taken steps to drive the e-waste collection with its own project, having partnered with telecommunication companies and others mainly in the phone industry to encourage people to handover all unused or broken mobile phones and smart devices.
Special bins have been placed at the premises of companies including phone repair shops and showrooms that have agreed to support such an initiative.
The project is part of a larger endeavor aimed at addressing waste management in Seychelles dubbed 'Engaging Civil Society in sustainable waste management'. Electronic waste disposed of by the public will be recycled, scrapped for parts or shipped overseas for proper disposal.
"We are targeting two main groups…the consumers who generate waste and the private sector who might be able to make some money from waste in different ways…so we chose mobile phones because young or old everybody has one, and the survey showed that some people have a few old phones lying around…it is the kind of electronic waste that everybody can relate to," explained Martin.
Some IT consumers that spoke to SNA seemed reluctant to part with their old devices.

"I do not use all of these devices…I use my phones on a daily basis and I'm supposed to get the latest Samsung soon. I do not throw my devices away when they break or when I get new ones. Most of my devices are gifts from family and friends so I like to keep it at home as souvenirs," said Catherina.
Same goes for Jude, a 24 year-old photographer and graphics designer who also has a passion for the latest gadgets. Jude says he has a collection of about 28 electronic devices lying around the house which includes desktop, laptops, tablets, his cameras, printer and games.
"…half the devices I own are broken, some are outdated and the others are still in use. I never throw any of my devices away because it is like throwing away money…broken or old they still have value," said Jude.
S4S will be working to convince more people to handover their old devices. The NGO was established in 2007, with a mission to promote 'green' living in Seychelles. It hopes that someday all electronic waste is properly managed and disposed in the country and the public also has a broad knowledge on this issue.
"Cell phones might have a higher value when exported overseas to be scrapped or recycled, so maybe local companies can make some money out of it… but to sustain the business, definitely other e-waste should be included that can fetch money," said the S4S executive director.
Seychellois love to talk on the phone
The Seychelles islands have two telecoms providers, Airtel Seychelles and Cable & Wireless Seychelles. Two other local companies Kokonet and Intelvision also provide internet services.
According to 2014 statistics available from the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) there were 151,336 mobile subscribers in Seychelles, around 1.6 devices per person.
ITU figures also state that 50.40 percent of the population uses the Internet and 12 percent fixed-line broadband penetration.

These figures indicate that Seychelles is among developing countries that have witnessed a surge in the purchase and use of modern technologies such as mobile phones especially smart phones, other smart devices such as iPad and tablets, as well as laptops, desktop computers and flat screen television.
Broader waste challenges for the islands
The load of electronic waste continues to increase in homes, and in the end accumulate on the three main dumping sites found on Mahé and Praslin, Seychelles' main and second most populated islands.
The Seychelles' Land Waste Management Agency (LWMA), which is responsible for the disposal of waste in the archipelago, told SNA that all municipal, commercial and other types of waste are mixed up together due to the fact that the islanders do not sort their waste in different categories.
This means biodegradables as well as non-biodegradable items such as plastics, glass as well as e-waste, which include everything that runs on electricity, batteries and other forms of energy, are dumped on the same waste sites, and this is harmful to the environment.
Approximately 70, 000 tons of waste is deposited on all three landfills in Seychelles per year.
There are a number of companies in Seychelles that collect PET bottles, metallic cans, glass products and even metals and used batteries for recycling purposes in a bid to reduce the amount the amount waste piling up on the landfills or polluting the environment.
There are two main companies, Surya Enterprise and SAMLO, that collect and export scrap metals overseas. SAMLO also exports old car batteries.
The Seychelles government has also subsided the recycling of plastic PET bottles to get the businesses running and help reduce plastic pollution in the country.

$4 million in funding announced for San Bernardino terror attack survivors, family of victims
Rep. Pete Aguilar announced that the Department of Justice (DOJ) has awarded $4 million to support short-and long-term needs of Inland Regional Center terror attack survivors and families of victims as they continue to recover and rebuild in the aftermath of the tragedy that killed 14 and seriously injured 22 on December 2, 2015. Doug Saunders with the San Bernardino Sun has the full story here.


Apple Computer's music store is once again exposed to copy-protection-free sales.
A group of underground programmers has posted code online it says will reopen a backdoor in Apple Computer's iTunes store, allowing Linux computer users to purchase music free of copy protection.
The release comes just a day after Apple blocked a previous version of the program, called PyMusique, in part by requiring all iTunes customers to use the latest version of Apple's software.
In a blog posting, Norwegian programmer Jon Johansen, who was previously responsible for releasing software used to copy DVDs online, said he had been successful at reverse engineering the latest iTunes encryption.
Cody Brocious, a Pennsylvania high school student working with Johansen, said they saw the project as "necessary for the Linux community," despite Apple's opposition.
The programmers' work has been one of the most persistent projects targeting Apple, whose iPod and iTunes Music Store have drawn consistent attacks and experiments by people eager to extend the capability of the products, or simply disarm copy protection.
The cat-and-mouse response is a familiar one in the technology world, as programmers have often sought to write software compatible with larger or more popular applications. Instant messaging companies such as America Online, Yahoo, Microsoft and Trillian have long feuded, blocking and reopening access to each other's software.
The PyMusique programmers say they are primarily interested in allowing people using Linux computers to purchase music from the iTunes store, explaining their goals in a blog posting online. Their software requires users to have an iTunes account and pay the ordinary price for music.
They say they weren't aiming at creating a tool for stripping iTunes copy-protection off songs. However, Apple's system adds the layer of copy-protection inside the iTunes software itself, and so they didn't need to add it in their own version, they said.
Apple's software already allows customers to create an unprotected version of a song, by burning an iTunes purchase to a CD. That file can be ripped into an ordinary MP3.
While Apple has made no public legal threats against the programmers, the iTunes terms of service bars the use of any unauthorized software to access the store. Copyright lawyers have previously said that the PyMusique system, which evades Apple's intention to wrap all purchases in copy protection, may well cross legal lines.
"The work I do is completely legal in my country," Johansen said in an e-mail interview. "Of course, I know very well that not doing anything illegal doesn't mean you won't be prosecuted (or) sued."
Johansen was prosecuted in Norway for releasing the DeCSS code in 1999, but was ultimately cleared of charges.
An Apple representative could not immediately be reached for comment.
Brocious said the updated version of PyMusique would only be available for Linux, and that the programmers would not make a Windows version this time.
