People are quoting movies to prove what they believe.
If you've read the book or gone to the movie, you already know the author "teaches" you what he wants you to think. Leonardo Da Vinci's painting is used as evidence:
The painting is from the imagination of Leonardo, not Dan Brown. This is an imaginary snapshot, just after Yahusha had washed ALL His disciple's feet. Look closely at each person, and how they appear very upset. It is at the time of PASSOVER, and the LAMB is Yahusha. His is explaining how to remember Him in future generations.
Leonardo DaVinci knew what to paint from what was written at Yn. 13. Yahusha had just said something seconds before, which caused the men to become agitated. Yahusha stated, "You are not all clean" even after He had washed them all. Above, you see how Leonardo IMAGINES the reaction of the men just after Yahusha had said, "Truly, truly (aman, aman)one of you shall deliver Me up." When Yahusha said this, Yahukanon had his head on Yahusha's breast; but then Shimon Kefa motioned to Yahukanon to ask WHO IT WAS of whom He spoke. Notice this at verse 13:24. Kefa is whispering into Yahukanon's ear in the painting above, not Miryam's ear.
Then, Yahukanon leaned BACK on the breast of Yahusha and said "Master, who is it?"
In the movie, you will see and hear incredible fabrications that severely distort what the Scripture says and what Leonardo painted from them.
The movie explains that the beardless youth, Yahukanon, is really Miryam of Magdala, Yahusha's WIFE. Hollywood should be so embarrassed that they should release a disclaimer concerning this distortion. But, they are probably as ignorant of the Truth as the average viewer is, and wouldn't understand the problem if it was carefully explained to them.
The media also assumes people have an attention span of about 7 seconds.
Judas, as you know, hung himself; but the movie "DRACULA 2000" tries to explain that he revived when the sun set. Some people will believe sound-bytes like this, because they know very little otherwise, having done no personal study of the subject at hand.
WHAT'S NOT TRUE: Without the foundation of Scripture, people can be led to think almost anything is a fact. And, once a mind has been stretched over a new idea, it will never return to its original shape. The only way to correct mistaken impressions is to re-program yourself with the only thing we can trust: Scripture as it is written, without anything added or taken away. The author promotes the idea that Yahusha was married to Miryam of Magdala, one of the old Knights Templar lies.
Yahusha was not, and is not married, except to His true bride, Yisharal.
WHAT'S TRUE: The origins and activities of the Catholic Church are exposed, and this exposure is also unsettling to Protestants, since they are the spawn of Catholicism (universalism). (Only their pattern or walk, not the people themselves). History was recorded by the victors of wars and inquisitions - Truth has very little to do with it. When the Truth comes along, it sounds like the rantings of an insane person. Constantine, a Pagan emperor, really did attempt to invent a new religion that would bring peace, and he did it by mixing together and appeasing various Pagan religions, along with the belief in the Hebrew Messiah. He thought the SUN and the MESSIAH were synonymous.
The rallying symbol of his new religion was the CRUX, which was the most recognized sign to all Pagans: it represented the SUN. Christianity was officially born under Constantine's designs and specifications at the Council of Nicea (325 CE). The worship of the Sun (and the rest of the host of heaven) is the Astral religion of Nimrod.
See video, IMAGE OF THE BEAST
The spin-offs of the Knights Templar such as Opus Dei Knights of Columbus, Knights of Malta, and the Jesuits would certainly rather not have such a book or movie existing at all, let alone being so widely publicized. Constantine's Catholicism has in fact been involved in incredibly murderous activities. Let's not forget the Inquisition, which left some 80 MILLION dead over a 600-year period. Galileo Galilei narrowly escaped getting roasted by Cardinal Bellarmine. They were flat-Earthers, doing incredibly stupid stuff progressively faster as time passed, and with more enthusiasm as new tortures and weapons presented themselves. And today, they act like nothing happened at all. One thing I should mention here is that the Opus Dei would never track down and kill any offspring of Yahusha (which the book fictionally presents), because Yahusha has no offspring to kill.
Those that the DRAGON pursues (in Revelation) would not be the offspring of Miryam of Magdala, but rather Yisharal, because the woman's offspring are those who hold to the Covenant with Yahuah:
"Then the dragon was enraged at the woman (Yisharal) and went off to make war against the rest of her offspring- those who obey Alahim's Commandments (Torah) and hold to the testimony of Yahusha." Rev 12:16-17
So, this "woman" would be the good guys; specifically, the Natsarim within Covenant-keeping Yisharal (These are the first-fruits, that are supposed to "leaven the whole lump"). If Catholicism were the "good guys" why were they the ones doing the killing? The bad guys are doing the killing, that should be a given. Those being pursued and killed would be those who "obey" Yahuah's Commandments, AND hold to the testimony of Yahusha, so they would be NATSARIM OF ISRAEL. According to logical hermeneutics, Catholicism would be the DRAGON in the passage above.
Examining one of their art promotions below, we see two Knights Templar ride ONE horse in this insignia, as their sign of poverty. But, they were very wealthy. They were so successful they formed the beginnings of European banking.
The free on-line Wikipedia encyclopedia tells us:
"The Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon (Latin: pauperes commilitones Christi Templique Solomonici), popularly known as the Knights Templar, was one of the most famous of the Christian military orders. It existed for about two centuries in the Middle Ages, created in the aftermath of the First Crusade of 1096 to ensure the safety of the large numbers of European pilgrims who flowed towards Jerusalem after its conquest.
The Templars were an unusual order in that they were both monks and soldiers, making them in effect some of the earliest "warrior monks" in the Western world. Members of the Order played a key part in many battles of the Crusades, and the Order's infrastructure innovated many financial techniques that could be considered the foundation of modern banking. The Order grew in membership and power throughout Europe, until it ran afoul of King Philip IV of France (Philip the Fair), who caused many of the order's members in France to be tortured into "confessions" and burned at the stake. Under influence from King Philip, Pope Clement V then forcibly disbanded the order in the early 1300s.
Knights Templar legends
The Knights Templar have become surrounded by legends concerning secrets and mysteries handed down to the select from ancient times. Most of these legends are connected with the long occupation by the order of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, and speculation about what relics the Templars may have found there, such as the Holy Grail, the Ark of the Covenant, or fragments of the True Cross from the Crucifixion. And still more stories were started by fictional embellishments upon the Templar history, such as by Hollywood movies or best-selling novels like The Da Vinci Code.
Other legends have grown around the suspected associations of the Templars. Many organizations claim traditions from the original Order (the Freemasons, for instance, began incorporating Templar symbols and rituals in the 1700s) especially in relation to anonymous charity and good deeds. Some of these organizations which might be associated with the Templars are still active within communities across the globe supporting humanistic causes such as hospitals and medical treatment centers for the less fortunate." (END OF QUOTE)
The Knights Templar insignia, a red "Maltese Crux" on a white background, became the emblem of the "Hospitallers" during the 14th century. They provided traveling pilgrims to Yerushaliyim and other destinations with safety, rest, and treatment from injuries suffered along their way in "hospices", which later developed into our modern idea of a hotel and hospital.
Very "hospitable" of them, wouldn't you say?
Cristobal Colombo (Christopher Columbus) used the emblem on the sails of his three ships, and it is still used by several Catholic organizations, such as the Knights of Columbus. "Knights" are what the members are called in many "secret societies"; and they are "secret" because they were outlawed in many places in the past.
When you see a "Red Cross", you are looking at a small remnant of the Templars' history. Using insignia effectively can be a very powerful tool to any movement. We Natsarim use as our banner the NAME of Yahuah, and the symbol of His TORAH, His MENORAH. They will remain when all other insignia are forgotten.

The book and movie are fictional entertainment, no more about reality or history than Raiders of the Lost Ark.
But, people are programmed by "sound-bytes" they hear in the culture, so the line between reality and fantasy is very easy to blur for the media. The media has been said to be like an echo chamber; once a topic gets into it, it's repeated over and over again. People tend to believe what they hear over and over, especially when it's coming from many sources simultaneously.
The author of the book Da Vinci Code (Dan Brown), and the authors of Holy Blood, Holy Grail (1982, Michael Baigent, Richard Leigh, and Henry Lincoln) were inspired by the legends and stories made up by the KNIGHTS TEMPLAR, a militant order of monks. Reading both books, it seems most likely to me that Dan Brown took everything he wrote about from the former book, Holy Blood, Holy Grail. The only difference is that Brown's book isn't so "bogged down" with historical details, but is more digestible for the average person. Dan came close to having his knickerbockers sued-off of him. (I heard Dan won the lawsuit).
Seen on various "knights" insignia, the sails of Columbus' ships, hospitals, vehicles in war, and so on . . .

This mod replaces the voice files used by Black Dog units in Battlezone 98 Redux with those used by the same units in Battlezone: Rise of the Black Dogs, giving them a diverse and distinctly unprofessional twist. Fully compatible with both Battlezone 98 Redux and Battlezone 98 Redux: The Red Odyssey.
Steam users, please visit the Steam Workshop page.
The voice work in this pack is all deliberate caricature. Climax Studios - the team behind Rise of the Black Dogs - are based in Portsmouth in Hampshire, so it was cheaper for them to use local voice talent - which meant getting genuinely American-sounding actors would be difficult. The easy solution was deliberately hammy lines, which made it easier for them to diversify too. It also helps everything match up with the camp, casually racist voice acting used for the Russians and, especially, the Chinese. I'm British too; I know first-hand how awful these accents are.
When you think about it Battlezone got away with a lot of vaguely racist humour that definitely wouldn't fly today (see the name of the sixth mission of Dogs of War, which is both a pun of absolute genius and hilariously inappropriate), but I guess it all fits with the jingoism of Cold War America.
Sounds like... everybody are just sitting in a toilet room and doing some voice acting. Nice pack, anyway, laughed so hard. No offence, this is great pack)) For its time it was better than nothing.

14 What are the three types of scientific research?
15 What are the characteristics of scientific research method?
What is a scientific method easy definition?
The scientific method is defined as a method of research in which a problem is identified, relevant data is gathered, a hypothesis is formulated from this data, and the hypothesis is empirically tested.
Why is the scientific method?
When conducting research, scientists use the scientific method to collect measurable, empirical evidence in an experiment related to a hypothesis (often in the form of an if/then statement), the results aiming to support or contradict a theory.
What are the six steps of the scientific method?
Make an observation.
Ask a question.
Form a hypothesis, or testable explanation.
Make a prediction based on the hypothesis.
Test the prediction.
Iterate: use the results to make new hypotheses or predictions.
What is scientific method of research?
The scientific method is a standardized way of making observations, gathering data, forming theories, testing predictions, and interpreting results. Researchers make observations in order to describe and measure behavior.

What is the example of scientific method?
Example of the Scientific Method Hypothesis: If something is wrong with the outlet, my coffeemaker also won't work when plugged into it. Experiment: I plug my coffeemaker into the outlet. Result: My coffeemaker works! Conclusion: My electrical outlet works, but my toaster still won't toast my bread.
What are the 10 steps of the scientific method?
Steps in the Scientific Method
1 – Make an Observation. You can't study what you don't know is there.
2 – Ask a Question.
3 – Do Background Research.
4 – Form a Hypothesis.
5 – Conduct an Experiment.
6 – Analyze Results and Draw a Conclusion.
7 – Report Your Results.
How is scientific method used in everyday life?
The scientific method involves developing a hypothesis (what you think might happen), testing your hypothesis (trying it out), and analyzing the results (did it work). When determining how long to bake cookies, for example, you are using the scientific method.
What is the scientific knowledge?
Scientific knowledge is what we learn from the scientific process, which involves experimenting and collecting data. Scientific research is the collecting of data to investigate and explain a phenomenon. Part of the scientific process concerns what you do after data has been collected.
Who made the scientific method?
Sir Francis BaconSir Francis Bacon (1561–1626) is credited with being the first to define the scientific method. The scientific process typically starts with an observation (often a problem to be solved) that leads to a question.
What is the first step in the scientific method?
The first step in the Scientific Method is to make objective observations. These observations are based on specific events that have already happened and can be verified by others as true or false. Step 2. Form a hypothesis.
You might be interested: Quick Answer: Veterinary Science Studies What Aspect Of Animals?
What is the standard scientific method?
He, as do many of his science colleagues, states that the scientific method has four steps: 1) observation and description of a phenomenon or group of phenomena; 2) formulation of a hypothesis to explain the phenomena (in physics, the hypothesis often takes the form of a causal mechanism or a mathematical relation); 3)
What is an example of a scientific problem?
A scientific problem is a question that you have that can be answered via an experiment. That's because not all questions can be answered with an experiment. For example, the problem of trying to figure out what to have for dinner isn't a scientific problem, since you can't conduct an experiment to find the answer.
What are the types of scientific research?
Types of Scientific Research
Fundamental or Basic Research. Fundamental research is being carried out to present new scientific theories and to extend the field of science in various fields.
Applied Research.
Quantitative research.
Qualitative research.
Mixed research.
Exploratory Research.
Descriptive research.
Explanatory research.
What are the three types of scientific research?
Types of Scientific Research Depending on the purpose of research, scientific research projects can be grouped into three types: exploratory, descriptive, and explanatory.
What are the characteristics of scientific research method?
Five key descriptors for the scientific method are: empirical, replicable, provisional, objective and systematic.
Empirical Observation. The scientific method is empirical.
Replicable Experiments. Scientific experiments are replicable.
Provisional Results.
Objective Approach.
Systematic Observation.

Harvard Law Today
International Human Rights Clinic suit against former Bolivian president and minister of defense moves forward
By HLS News Staff
HLS Clinical Professor James Cavallaro, the executive director of the Human Rights Program, (center) with Thomas Becker '08 (left) at a press conference announcing that the ATS case against former Bolivia President Sánchez de Lozada and Defense Minister Sánchez Berzaín would move forward
The U.S. District Court in the Southern District of Florida has ruled that the claims for crimes against humanity and extrajudicial killings could move forward in two related U.S. cases against former Bolivian President Gonzalo Daniel Sánchez de Lozada Sánchez Bustamante (Sánchez de Lozada) and former Bolivian Defense Minister Jose Carlos Sánchez Berzaín (Sánchez Berzaín). The International Human Rights Clinic at Harvard Law School is part of the legal team that filed the two complaints against Sánchez de Lozada and Sánchez Berzaín.
The two cases – Mamani et al. v. Sánchez Berzaín, and Mamani, et al. v. Sánchez de Lozada – allege that in September and October 2003, the two defendants ordered Bolivian security forces to use deadly force, including high-powered rifles and machine guns, to suppress popular protests against government policies by targeting unarmed civilians in Bolivia's indigenous Aymara community. During these two months, 67 men, women and children were killed, and several hundred were injured. Both defendants fled Bolivia in late October 2003, and have lived in the U.S. for the past six years.
The clinic has been a part of these two cases since 2007, working with leading U.S. human rights attorneys at the Center for Constitutional Rights as well as lawyers with the law firm of Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld, among others. Students and faculty with the clinic traveled to Bolivia more than a half dozen times conducting fact-finding research for the complaints, and last year attended hearings in Miami on a Motion to Dismiss. That motion survived this month, with Judge Adalberto Jordan ruling that Bolivian plaintiffs have viable claims against Sánchez de Lozada and Sánchez Berzaín.
Thomas Becker '08 was one of the students that initially helped launch the clinic's involvement in these two cases. Becker is currently a Human Rights Program Henigson Fellow working in Bolivia.
"Most would think I was foolish to imagine that an idea for a clinical project would develop into a full-blown case against a former head of state, but people at the International Human Rights Clinic were determined to help me make this happen," said Becker. "Because of the commitment of the professors and students in the Clinic, the victims in Bolivia are one large step closer to justice."
All told, more than two dozen students have worked on these cases as part of their experience at the Clinic. Several of those students, including Claret Vargas '10, were able to travel to Miami last year to witness oral arguments for the Motion to Dismiss and meet with several of the Bolivian plaintiffs, all of whom made their first trip to the U.S. to see their former President and Defense Minister in a court of law.
"Working on Alien Tort Statute litigation has been a central part of my experience with the International Human Rights Clinic," said Vargas. "Aside from the opportunity to learn about the nuts and bolts of ATS litigation from some of the country's leading experts in the field, I had the honor of meeting and learning from many of the courageous plaintiffs and lawyers in Bolivia who are still fighting for justice so many years after the terrible events of September and October 2003."
The plaintiffs that the International Human Rights Clinic is representing have all brought claims on behalf of a deceased relative who was killed by security forces commanded by the defendants. Among these plaintiffs are Eloy Rojas Mamani and Etelvina Ramos Mamani, whose eight-year-old daughter was killed in her mother's bedroom when a single gunshot was fired through a the window, and Felicidad Rosa Huanca Quispe, whose 69-year-old father was shot and killed along a roadside.
"The students and faculty that have worked on this matter for the past three years have demonstrated a remarkable commitment to pursuing justice for the Bolivian plaintiffs," said Clinical Professor James Cavallaro, the executive director of the Human Rights Program. "This judgment is a powerful example of how international law is making it harder for those who abuse human rights to escape accountability simply by fleeing to another country."
The original complaints against Sánchez de Lozada and Sánchez Berzaín were filed in September 2007. This week's decision grants in part and denies in part the defendants' motion to dismiss, allowing the case to move forward for most of the ten Bolivian plaintiffs represented by the International Human Rights Clinic.

Tom DeLay Exonerated by Final Court in Texas; Liberal Media Virtually Silent
If you tried to find out what recently happened in court ending the criminal case against former GOP Congressman Tom DeLay, almost all the results that come up are from conservative sites. The left-wing news media deliberately ignored the story of his total legal exoneration earlier this month. Contrast this with the multiple, lengthy front-page articles than ran for years gleefully covering the progression of the politically motivated attacks on him.
I saved an article taking up the top half of the front page of The New York Times from 2006 - with a huge photo of DeLay high-fiving my cousin, a Congressional staffer - announcing that DeLay was being forced to leave Congress due to the indictment. In contrast, the Times printed a tiny, three-sentence paragraph about the exoneration that was buried in the print edition on page A20.
When DeLay was indicted in 2005, most people around the country did not understand how politically motivated the left-wing Travis County District Attorney was. Now that sitting Texas Governor Rick Perry is being prosecuted by current DA Rosemary Lehmberg, a convicted drunk driver, the targeting by that Democrat-controlled office is finally coming to light. The Austin-based office badly overstretched going after the popular governor, and now its history of corrupt prosecutions are all coming to light.
Former GOP Senator Kay Bay Hutchinson was also indicted by the same office, and fortunately for her, then Travis County DA Ronnie Earle's bogus witchhunt was thrown out. DeLay describes what happened to Earle's prosecution, "The case [against Sen. Hutchison] did go to court, and his case absolutely imploded the day they went to trial. The judge kicked them all out of his courtroom."

PHOTOS: Strong showing at I-594 protest rally in Seattle against gun control
Last Saturday, on October 18, 250 to 300 gun rights activists met in downtown Seattle's Westlake Park to protest I-594, making it the safest place that day to be in the state. Only one park ranger showed up to monitor the rally, and he didn't bother carrying a firearm.
King 5 TV filmed the event, with refreshingly objective coverage, shown below. They didn't just film and interview white males, but showcased the diversity of the attendees, which included minorities and women packing.
A pro-594 protest the next day didn't appear to attract any more participants, despite the millions poured into the initiative. Opinions were mixed, but the majority of attendees felt worried I-594 is going to pass on Nov. 4th. Billionaires in favor of gun control have spent almost 10 times as much money promoting I-594 as the opposition. Gun control proponents say if successful, they're taking the initiative to three other states, including Arizona.
Organizers reported afterwards that the Seattle Police commended them on how well the rally went. One police officer shook organizer Rick Halle's hand and thanked him for exercising his rights.
Below is a list of the speakers, whose speeches are featured beneath on YouTube. Former Washington State Supreme Court Justice Richard Sanders went over the legal aspects of the initiative should it pass, and said the real purpose of it is to take guns away from people. He asked, "why can I give my mother a firearm, but can't sell her or loan her one?" Rep. Jason Overstreet (R-Lynden) said the law has been vaguely written, with few words defined, so that unelected bureaucrats in the state department of licensing can interpret them later, writing rules as restrictive as they want.

The gun bloggers! They meet up every year in Reno, Nev. From l-r: Mike Gallion, D.W. Drang, Barron B. and Janelle Barnett Patrick Mullen and Mike Carpenter of the Friday Night Rifle League in Bellevue seemed to know everyone there. Whatom County gun rights supporters drove two and a half hours south to attend the rally.

North Dakota Bar Association Illegally Spends $70,000 To Oppose Shared Parenting
By Robert Franklin, Esq.
In one of my blog posts on Measure 6, the North Dakota initiative that would establish a presumption of equal parenting in the state, I pointed out that any monetary support given to the opposition (or proponents) by the State Bar Association of North Dakota (SBAND) would violate the holding of the United States Supreme Court in Keller vs. State Bar of California. Keller holds that a mandatory state bar association's activities are limited to those directly related to the regulation of the legal profession in the state. To do otherwise would be to violate the free speech rights of members who are required to pay dues, but disagree with the position taken by the state bar. Justice Rehnquist outlined to what expenditures mandatory bar associations (like that of North Dakota) were limited:
Thus, the guiding standard must be whether the challenged expenditures are necessarily or reasonably incurred for the purpose of regulating the legal profession or "improving the quality of the legal service available to the people of the State."
Needless to say, equally shared parenting by divorced parents in North Dakota has nothing whatever to do with regulating the behavior and education of attorneys in the state. About that there can be no serious dispute.
But I've had some email correspondence with Tony Weiler, Executive Director of the North Dakota Bar, and he claimed that the bar complies with Supreme Court rulings. It doesn't. In the case of Teachers vs. Hudson, the U.S. Supreme Court held that mandatory dues paid to a labor union were improperly used for a non-union purpose but that the union could establish procedural safeguards to protect members' First Amendment rights of free speech. A unanimous Court stated:
"[T]he objective must be to devise a way of preventing compulsory subsidization of ideological activity by employees who object thereto without restricting the Union's ability to require every employee to contribute to the cost of collective-bargaining activities."
The same is true when the dues collecting entity is a state bar association. So, what is the North Dakota Bar required to do in order to not violate the free speech rights of dissenting members? First, its procedural safeguards must be narrowly tailored so as to avoid impinging members' First Amendment rights.
Second, the [bar member] — the individual whose First Amendment rights are being affected — must have a fair opportunity to identify the impact of the [bar's] action on his interests and to assert a meritorious First Amendment claim.
The North Dakota Bar fails both tests and does so obviously. What procedural safeguards does it afford its members? Executive Director Tony Weiler outlined them in one of his emails to me.
If any member is interested in a Keller Refund, they should contact me and I'll address it with them individually, after consulting with my Board.
Yes, that's it. Nowhere does the SBAND inform its members of their right to a refund; nor does it afford them the type of impartial decision-making process so clearly required by the Teachers case. Where is the impartial decision maker? Where's the due process of law? Weiler's notion of the first is him and his Board and the second is individuals contacting him on an ad hoc basis. To say that those don't comply with U.S. Supreme Court rulings is about as controversial as saying the earth isn't flat.
Don't believe me? Read what the unanimous court in Teachers said on the subject:
[A] "pure rebate approach 475 U.S. 292, 304] is inadequate." We explained that, under such an approach, in which the union refunds to the non-union employee any money to which the union was not entitled, "the union obtains an involuntary loan for purposes to which the employee objects."
A "pure rebate" approach of course is precisely what Weiler is offering his members.
First, as in Ellis, a remedy which merely offers dissenters the possibility of a rebate does not avoid the risk that dissenters' funds may be used temporarily for an improper purpose. "[T]he Union should not be permitted to exact a service fee from nonmembers without first establishing a procedure which will avoid the risk that their funds will be used, even temporarily, to finance ideological activities unrelated to collective bargaining."... A forced exaction followed by a rebate equal to the amount improperly [475 U.S. 292, 306] expended is thus not a permissible response to the nonunion employees' objections.
The Court could have been speaking directly to Weiler and the SBAND.
Then there's that little matter of an impartial decision maker that happens to be required by Supreme Court precedent.
Finally, the original Union procedure was also defective because it did not provide for a reasonably prompt decision by an impartial decisionmaker. Although we have not so specified in the past, 19we now conclude that such a requirement is necessary. The nonunion employee, whose First Amendment rights are affected by the agency shop itself and who bears the burden of objecting, is entitled to have his objections addressed in an expeditious, fair, and objective manner.20 [475 U.S. 292, 308]
The Union's procedure does not meet this requirement. As the Seventh Circuit observed, the "most conspicuous feature of the procedure is that from start to finish it is entirely controlled by the union, which is an interested party, since it is the recipient of the agency fees paid by the dissenting employees."
Somehow, according to the Executive Director of the State Bar Association of North Dakota, a members' objection to his dues being shanghaied by the Bar to oppose a measure he supports is adequately addressed by,
Has anyone at the North Dakota Bar even read the cases governing its behavior? You'd think they would have, but if Tony Weiler is any evidence, they certainly don't understand the plain English of those precedents. But whatever the case, if my sources on the matter are correct, they'll soon get to prove it in court. I've been informed that a lawsuit will be filed seeking to enjoin SBAND from future expenditures of bar funds for activities so clearly unrelated to regulating the legal profession in the state.
But again, don't take my word for it. A law review article analyzed state bars' efforts to comply with Keller; the verdict on North Dakota wasn't flattering:
The North Dakota procedure is deficient in almost every respect. First, it does not provide an adequate explanation of the basis for the fee by categorizing items as chargeable or nonchargeable, and it expressly places an unconstitutional burden on the dissenting member to identify the challenged legislative policy. The procedure does not provide a reasonably prompt opportunity to challenge the determination of amount of dues devoted to nongermane activities, nor does it provide payment of interest on any amount refunded from the date the dues are paid. Finally, the policy does not provide for a hearing before an impartial decisionmaker, or for an escrow for the amount reasonably in dispute while the challenges are pending.
A court in North Dakota should immediately issue a restraining order against the State Bar Association of North Dakota prohibiting it from further expenditure of members' dues for a purpose utterly unrelated to the regulation of the legal profession and under procedures that are entirely insufficient according to Supreme Court precedent. The SBAND is acting outside the law when it uses members' dues to oppose Measure 6 that would establish a presumption of equal parenting in North Dakota.
Of course, as I suggested in yesterday's post, if the SBAND didn't oppose the measure, who would?

Brad Pitt, Second Amendment Supporter, Has New WWII Movie Opening Tomorrow
Article by Frank Jardim . Photos by Sony Pictures Entertainment, Inc.
With the upcoming cinematic release of FURY tomorrow, October 17, the war movie genre finally has a realistic, historically accurate, film focusing on tank crews and armored combat in World War II. It comes right after the 75th anniversary of the start of WWII, which began on Sept. 1, 1939 with the German invasion of Poland. The film was written and directed by David Ayer and stars Brad Pitt in the lead role as Staff Sergeant "Wardaddy," a Sherman tank commander in the 2nd Armored Division.
Filmed on location in England, the movie takes us to the last days of World War II, when American (and Russian) forces had put 9,995 of the 10,000 German tanks produced out of commission, and the Nazis had to defend der heimland with their elderly and youth. The wear of war is reflected in Pitt's battle-hardened character, who's been riding in a tank since North Africa, and contrasts sharply with his fresh-from-the-cornfields driver as they lead a charge for a crucial crossroads, which they have to unexpectedly defend when their armored vehicle is blasted out of its tracks. Yeah, we all know how the war ends, but this film takes us along for a more realistic ride than most other recreations of the European theater.
Pitt's character is a bit reminiscent of the role he played as a soldier in Inglourious Basterds, which also took place during WWII. He takes his five-man crew behind enemy lines, where they are outnumbered and outgunned. Yet he is determined to succeed in the deadly mission, "I started this war killing Germans in Africa. Now I'm killing Germans in Germany. I promised my crew a long time ago that I'd keep them alive," he pledges.
Since Saving Private Ryan premiered in 1998, we've had several movie and cable television productions realistically portraying the violence, blood and gore of infantry and air combat that give the viewer a real sense of the mortal terror of battle. By doing a better showing of how it really was, they have honored the sacrifices of the real participants. That is not to say that some earlier films were not excellent and realistic. One that leaps to mind is the superb 1949 film Twelve O'Clock High staring Gregory Peck, which is frequently studied in our military training academies to this day. However, most of the older films simply couldn't recreate how it really was because of the technical limitations of filmmaking and special effects, and viewer tastes.

Obama's efforts to accommodate illegal immigrants have invited a torrent of illegal-immigrant youth to stream north to the U.S. border. A much quieter revolution has taken place inside the Pentagon. The president and his administration now will begin placing teenage illegal immigrants in America's military and under arms.
On September 25, 2014, the Pentagon announced a bold expansion of current policies to create new opportunities for young illegal immigrants to enlist in the U.S. military. This policy change also will allow the young soldiers to receive preferential treatment in obtaining citizenship. A new Department of Defense initiative will broaden an existing program that allows military recruiters to seek foreign nationals with narrow skills, mostly those with foreign-language expertise or certain health-care training. Until now, these enlistees were legal noncitizen residents. The Obama administration now has altered the program, known as Military Accessions Vital to the National Interest (MAVNI), to absorb so-called Dreamers. These are illegal immigrants who came to the U.S. with their parents before age 16, and who were afforded de facto amnesty by the Obama administration under its policy known as Deferred Action for Child Arrivals (DACA).
MAVNI soldiers receive educational aid in addition to pay and benefits and expedited citizenship. For now, at least, the program has a cap of 1,500 recruits per year.
The Department of Homeland Security grants DACA status, which protects illegal immigrants from deportation. Since Obama announced DACA in 2012, more than 580,000 illegal immigrants have availed themselves of the program. Hundreds of thousands more have swarmed north from Latin America to the U.S. border, and many have made it across. DACA immigrants, already given deportation deferrals, now will be given an opportunity, assuming they offer the skills being sought, to enlist in the military and receive what the New York Times called a "fast-track pathway to citizenship."

Man caught on video stealing campaign signs from Shawnna Bolick, David Schweikert and Michele Reagan!
Unbelievable. We've been told the thief will be prosecuted and has been given a court date. The signs were posted on private property with the consent of the owner. Was the thief a Democrat operative? Or someone connected to one of the opposing candidates?
Opposition Group Turns to Stealth & Sexism to Oppose Shared Parenting in North Dakota
All too often, instead of being the keepers of the law, state bar associations flagrantly violate the law instead. They get away with this because they are controlled by powerful judges and affluent left-wing attorneys. Most often, people are too terrified to take on the rich and well connected, fearing they could be easily decimated by (ab)using the legal system.
The debate about Measure 6, on the ballot this fall in North Dakota, is a recent example. Measure 6 would establish approximately 50/50 shared parenting as the default when parents with children split up, unless a court finds that one parent is unfit. Although 110 world experts have endorsed shared parenting, the deceptively named "Keeping Kids First" - which should be more accurately named "Keeping Kids With One Parent" - appears to be the only group opposing Measure 6. However, this group is nothing more than a cleverly named front for the primary opposition - feminists, divorce attorneys, the state bar association and the ACLU. Notably, not a single divorce attorney is identified as such on the website of the organization where the members are listed. However, all but three of the 12 members are divorce attorneys. Divorce attorneys stand to lose a lot of money if child custody becomes less acrimonious, and shared parenting would accomplish just that.
The original email address for the organization was keepingkidsfirst@sband.org. That is from the domain name of the North Dakota State Bar Association. Tellingly, after the shell organization was called out on misuse of bar association assets, the email address was changed – evidence of guilt. The executive director of the bar association is also listed as one of its members, more evidence of the cozy relationship.
The last time a state bar association misused its resources - using bar dues from attorneys forced to contribute in order to practice law - it was taken over by the state supreme court, which reduced its fees drastically. The Nebraska State Bar was penalized for lobbying against shared parenting, since the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that mandatory associations cannot use the dues of their members to lobby for or against legislation. North Dakota is a mandatory bar association. Attorney Robert Franklin wrote on the National Parents Organization website about its opposition, "how it was possible for an organization of lawyers to not know the laws directly applicable to the doings of that organization?" Good question, and one the N.D. Secretary of State should be asking Keeping Kids First.

Knowledge, confidence and an explosion of creativity could be one of many words to describe Fashion Stylist Julie Ragolia. As a native New Yorker, she attributes the Big Apple as a huge source of creative inspiration that challenges her as an artist. With a fast growing popularity now in Asia, Ragolia just styled her first editorial for Vogue China's September issue. When she's not busy with her role as Fashion Director for the publication Man of the World, or jet setting around the world, one might find her cohabitating at the boutique Love Adorned or just chilling with her favorite boston terrier pooch. We caught up with Ragolia as she divulges details on her latest and most favorite shoot, what it's like to be a cover model and why she'll never leave New York City.
HOW MANY CITIES AND COUNTRIES HAVE YOU WORKED IN OVER THE LAST YEAR?
I've lost count! In the past two months alone I've been to Paris, Puglia, Shanghai, Beijing, Los Angeles and Chicago for shoots. I had to get new pages put into my passport!
WHAT WAS ONE OF YOUR MOST FAVORITE SHOOTS THAT YOU WORKED ON RECENTLY?
I recently styled musician, Nick Waterhouse, for a new men's magazine that I am now Fashion Director of, Man of the World. Martien Mulder shot it in the Chateau Marmont, and it's just the most beautiful and timeless collection of imagery I've seen in a long time. Nick is a brilliant musician, and also embraced the photographic process in a way I never even imagined possible. I can't wait for everyone to see it when the launch issue hits stands this fall.
YOU HAVE QUITE A FOLLOWING IN ASIA AS A STYLIST. WHY DO YOU THINK THAT IS?
I don't know, but I'm really grateful for it. I styled my first editorial for Vogue China's September issue recently. That was really exciting. The Asian fashion market is growing wildly. It's an incredible time, and there's so much interest from the west in that area. I'm glad to have been able to explore it all early on.
YOU'RE THE COVER GIRL OF SCOTT SCHUMAN'S BEAUTIFUL ANTHOLOGY BOOK, "THE SARTORIALIST". HOW DID THAT COME ABOUT?
Sheer luck in having gotten dressed in the morning! Scott told me that when he was editing the book he kept coming back to that image, which was why he chose it. It's funny, it's so beautiful, and timeless, but when I look at it I don't see myself. I see how well Scott captured color and tone, and emotion, which is ultimately what informs so many of our fashion choices, and is the core of his immense talent as a photographer. He really gave me a special gift of confidence with that cover. I'd been so comfortable behind the scenes prior, just making beautiful images. It forced me to embrace my own skin from the other side.
YOU LITERALLY WEAR MULTIPLE (AND FABULOUS!) HATS FROM STYLIST TO FASHION CONSULTANT TO BOOK COVER MODEL AND NOW THE RUMOR MILL HAS IT THAT YOU'VE RECENTLY WORKED ON A JEWELRY COLLABORATION. YOU'RE UNSTOPPABLE!
Ha, yes! I'm so excited about my upcoming jewelry collaboration with Senhoa, a charitable organization in Cambodia providing art therapy to girls coming out of the prostitution ring by way of making this jewelry. The proceeds of which fund programs and counseling to give girls the means and strength to carve their own paths, as well as providing them with key business and artisan skills. Coco Rocha did a collaboration with them last year, and my collection will launch this year around holiday time. I'm designing pieces for men and women.
That I don't think of it as a job. It's sheer passion and play. It's funny, when I travel for shoots my boyfriend always jokes, "Have a fun holiday." Humor is always rung with some truth, no?
WHAT KIND OF PROJECTS HAVE YOU BEEN WORKING ON LATELY?
Earlier I mentioned Man of the World, the new men's book I'm now working with. Getting a new magazine off the ground has been a lot of work, but a thrill as well. We're taking an interesting approach, with a strong focus on the relationship between fashion, lifestyle and craft, which we feel bears resonance and relevance over time, much in the way our iconic role models such as Steve McQueen, Marlon Brando, Alain Delon, James Dean, or even the longevity of a great vintage watch or a classic car do. We're confident we're providing a necessary service to men, with a side of whit and charm. That's been my biggest focus as of late.
YOU'RE A NY NATIVE. WHY HAVE YOU STAYED HERE IN NY AND NOT MOVED OFF TO LA OR OVERSEAS?
I feel so grateful to live the sort of life that enables me to see so much of the world, but New York is home, and will always be the place I come back to. It's the center of the universe, really, and it consistently challenges me to be better in every way.
OKAY, SPILL IT. WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE BOUTIQUE IN NY?
Love Adorned. It's the most perfectly curated shop I've ever been to. It combines traveled collectibles, wearable accessories and home items in such a chic way, as well as touches upon the shamanic with dried sages and spiritual woods, all without pretentiousness. I could live in that store if they'd let me.
WHAT IS A FAVORITE ITEM THAT YOU OWN AND WHY?
I hate relegating my dog to an owned item, but he's my favorite thing in the world. He's my calm when I lose it. He's just a funny, bouncy Boston Terrier who, I swear, thinks he's human.
WE KNOW NY CAN BE UBER STRESSFUL. WHERE DO YOU GO TO UNWIND IN THE CITY? DO YOU HAVE A FAVE BAR AND COCKTAIL?
Ha, to unwind I leave NY. Not that NY is the source of any unrest I need to escape, but sometimes it takes distance to truly turn off. My favorite bar is any one where I share a good drink and a laugh with friends. Drink of choice? A dirty martini, or straight bourbon.
WHAT WAS ONE OF THE BIGGEST CHALLENGES YOU HAD TO OVERCOME AS A STYLIST?
WHAT WOULD BE YOUR DREAM SHOOT OR COLLABORATION?
I'm working to make a couple of those happen for Man of the World currently, so I'll keep mum in order to not let the cat out of the bag.

While challenge grants can be effective marketing tools for a wide range of nonprofit organizations, they are not something that is pursued by recipients.
Matching grants lucrative, risky for nonprofits
By: Bernadette Starzee March 27, 2013 Comments Off on Matching grants lucrative, risky for nonprofits
Stony Brook University Foundation Executive Director Dexter Bailey
Over a 12-month period, Stony Brook University recently raised $100 million to support its strategic growth. Half that total came from some 1,500 donors, who were encouraged to give because their donations were matched dollar-for-dollar via a $50 million challenge grant from Jim and Marilyn Simons and the Simons Foundation.
"With all of our donors, the match was an important part of the conversation," said Dexter Bailey, vice president for university advancement and executive director of the Stony Brook University Foundation.
"All organizations would rather have a straight gift, because there is no risk," said David Okorn, executive director of the Long Island Community Foundation in Syosset, which writes grants to a variety of nonprofits. "If offered a matching gift of $1 million, the organization has to raise an additional $1 million to receive the funds. It puts the original $1 million at risk."
That said, no organization would turn down a challenge grant, and it creates a unique marketing opportunity.
"It's a great opportunity for the organization to reach out to both existing and new donors and inspire them to give and raise twice the amount of money," Okorn said.
"It means a lot to people when they see a critical mass of individuals giving to a cause," said Craig Fligstein, vice president for grants at the United Way of Long Island in Deer Park, which recently benefited from a challenge grant in which Bethpage Federal Credit Union matched, dollar for dollar, $50,000 in Hurricane Sandy-relief donations.
In hindsight, the Simons $50 million challenge grant was an important milestone in Stony Brook's development, Bailey said. The university finished raising its half of the $100 million in December.
"We now have a more sustainable advancement program," Bailey said. "The challenge grant gave us an entry point with individuals that have the ability to transform the institution."
The grant allowed Stony Brook to "leverage the Simons brand" to attract new donors and engage them at more meaningful levels, Bailey said.
"To have such an important organization make an investment of that level to Stony Brook raised everyone's expectations," Bailey said. "Donors know that Jim and Marilyn Simons make exceptionally wise investments, and it raised their curiosity about Stony Brook." The mission of the New York-based private foundation is advancing the frontiers of research in science and mathematics.
"By lending their name to a cause, influential business leaders can create tipping points," Fligstein said.
The Simons grant also incentivized donors to stretch their investment, Bailey said.
"Many donors saw an opportunity to see an entire program funded and to get it where it needed to go," he said.
The program worked so well because the challenge was applied strategically to programs that would allow Stony Brook to get to the next level, Bailey said. Programs to advance critical research were eligible for matches, as were endowed professorships and chairs and student financial aid, to allow the university to "attract the best and brightest," Bailey said. As Stony Brook was looking to grow its alumni giving program, first-time alumni donations were eligible for the match, as well.
The challenge grant program also succeeded because Simons and university leadership were on the same page in terms of their vision, Bailey said.
Challenge grants fail when "they are not well thought out," Bailey said. "They need a clear mission and focus; they can't be all things to all people."
Another type of matching program, in which employers match employee donations to charities, can also be a windfall for nonprofits. More common among larger employers, corporate matching programs can work in different ways.
"Employers may match donations to whatever organization the employee chooses, or there may be predetermined areas of focus related to the company's mission," said Patrice Frank, director of development for the Usdan Center for the Creative and Performing Arts in Wheatley Heights. The match may be dollar for dollar, 50 cents for the dollar or another ratio.

Q: Magic of neural networks? I've read a bit on neural networks and wonder why they are actually so popular at the moment. For example, a feed-forward network is a quite simple mathematical object: An input vector $\mathbf{x}\in \mathbb{R}^n$ is mapped to some output vector $\mathbf{y}\in\mathbb{R}^k$ via linear and non-linear mappings, e.g., for a two-layer NN:
$$\mathbf{y}=f(\mathbf{W}_1,\mathbf{W}_2)=h(\mathbf{W}_2g(\mathbf{W}_1\mathbf{x})).$$
Learning amounts to estimating the matrices $\mathbf{W}_1,\mathbf{W}_2$. So, asking a bit heretically: Most mathematicians would find this a very simple problem, for which well-known techniques exist. So, what's the issue about neural networks and why are they so powerful and why is there so much mystery surrounding them?

A: The reason there is such a fuss about them now is because of 'big data'  in particular image and speech data (high dimensional and large number of samples,  cf imagenet) . Essentially the issue is computational rather than mathematical :neural networks using (gradient descent) learn in O(n) whereas most other statistical methods  are of higher order and cannot be applied efficiently to such large datasets. Furthermore GPU devices allow fast computation of the simple matrix algebra underlying neural nets.
The third computational aspect is to do with convolutional neural networks (which basically mirror adaptive nonlinear filters): in standard image processing,  you manually develop a set of  (non linear) image features (feature engineering)  that you believe best captures the problem,  then pass  those into a classifier. And iterate (adding new features..) this manual intervention is very time consuming and may not yield very good results. With convolutional Nns this manual step is removed and you have a fully automated pipeline that you can leave the computer to optimise over (much as a chess computer would work as opposed to person)... So then the magic is developing scripts running gpus on loads of machines to evaluate different combinations of filters /filter sizes etc.

A: I think there are several lines of thought here:

*

*The perceptron is closely involved in what was later named the Artificial Intelligence Winter. It gives ANN an aura of mystery (they were thought gone and resurrected in the 80s).

*They are inspired by biological systems. They could give us insights into how we work, move and live ourselves. They help us reflect on our brains, our nervous systems, our reactions and movements (there is a big research area modeling how biological neurons work). We speak here of Cognitive Science.

*They give amazingly good results in many practical applications. When people learn how they work and how some problems can be posed, ANN actually give better results than other techniques (assuming that there are enough data to support the problem). This apparent easiness of use may lead to think that they do magic...

*There is people claiming that science and technology is drifting paradigms, from a mechanistic way of viewing the world, to a more connectionist one. We often tend to speak in terms of networks, connections, paths or nodes (where other people would have spoken about structures or mechanisms a while ago). This is an issue on philosophy of science.
Neural networks are more than a set of equations. They may have a different meaning for different areas of study as well as practical applications. Actually, they give philosophers and sociologist an area to study about such deep issues such as interdisciplinary scientific communication.

IMI Worldwide Properties
MarCom, W3
IMI Worldwide Properties, an integrated real estate sales and marketing firm focused on luxury communities around the world, sought innovative ideas for generating leads and interest in the Espiritu at Palmilla development, an ultra-high-end real estate development in Los Cabos, Mexico. The challenge for this project was creating a set of tactics capable of capturing the attention and interest of the time-impoverished target audience — individuals with a net worth of over $30 million.
We developed a highly targeted campaign centered around a visually stunning, 24-minute live webcast series called "This Is Living". This webcast was supported by an email marketing campaign which targeted potential leads and encouraged them to tune in to the live event. The second round of e-blasts included a teaser trailer for the webcast to bolster interest.
Infinity strategically chose to create a webcast, rather than a static video, because it allowed viewers to engage directly with the IMI team by asking questions and getting immediate answers during the event. The webcast highlighted Espiritu at Palmilla properties, provided virtual tours of some of the available homes, and showcased the surrounding communities. The video also included stunning shots of the setting, interviews with current residents, in-depth looks at the properties and their amenities, and event highlights from the culture and nightlife of Los Cabos.
The email campaign and teaser video proved to be effective in building interest within the ultra-affluent real estate market, and viewership of the webcast surpassed its goal by 45%. The webcast page received a total of 319 unique visits during the campaign, and several new relationships were established.
The "This Is Living" project won three W3 Silver Awards and two MarCom Gold Awards.
