Note from BW of Brazil: I can personally attest to knowing what's it's like to be treated as some sort of criminal while traveling. It's simply another facet of doing anything "while black". The unfortunate thing about my experience was that it was returning from Brazil to United States, the country that I'm actually from. It was sometime between 2002 and 2004 when I arrived in Chicago's O'Hare airport from São Paulo. The woman who checked my passport seemed to be determined to find some type of illegal activity on my part, after all, it was probably my fourth of fifth trip to Brazil, and being a black man, that was certainly suspicious behavior. This woman opened all of my suitcases, the carefully sealed box of 50 vinyl albums I had bought in Salvador, Bahia and popped the tape out of my camcorder, after all, I could be hiding drugs in there, right?
Anyway, I first introduced you to world traveler Paula Augot on a previous piece about, you guessed it, a black travel agency formed exactly because of the challenges of "traveling while black". Check out a few of her experiences and don't let anything deter you from traveling.There's a whole world out there!
Never has one spoken so much about women traveling alone. There are reports about it in the mainstream media and debates being conducted. However, it is possible to observe that the issue is not being discussed as it should.
The debate should be deepened, with themes about gender and race, but this is not what is happening. In addition, this month I decided to allow my space here in female finances to deepen the discussion about traveling alone. For this reason, I invited the traveler Paula Augot to talk about what it's like to be a black woman traveler.
Lately we have talked a lot about women travelers. For my happiness, women traveling alone have been common in the media. However, little is said about black women who travels or black women traveling alone. Put together the difficulty of being in a foreign country with the fact of not speaking the language, being a woman and being black. Welcome to my reality!
I started traveling alone more or less like everyone else. I went to a few and most common places and culture next to ours. When I started traveling through countries a little less traveled, I ran into some not so nice surprises.
When I reveal the racism and bad experiences of trips that I've had had, I often hear two reactions. There are people that look at me and say: "I went there and didn't have any problems." Usually I refute with: "Because you are white!" There are also people who understand, see my report as awareness and begin to see how privileged they are.
I love to read travel blogs, in addition to being a travel blogger myself. Of course I read many blogs of women travelers, but there's a bit of a lack of representation in these blogs. Let me give an example: when I went to Japan, I died of fear of having problems. After all, I have read countless times that the Japanese were racists, but I couldn't find any report on black travel blogs.
Then, as I went through this and felt the need to have more information, I imagined that other pessoas negras (black people) have the same curiosity and run into the same absence of reports. From there I started to write about what it's like to be a dark traveler in some countries outside of the common itinerary. I started writing about what it's like to be a tourist in Japan and Russia.
Do you know the hassles that all travelers go through? I've been through them, but some were more than hassles. They were racist acts that clearly would not happen if I were a white traveler.
It was in Finland that I experienced two racist attacks during the trip. It was one of the moments that I most felt fear in my life. I thought that would become more a statistic of hate crimes. But I've already received looks, debauchery and people have already made it clear that I was not welcome there.
Fear and mistrust everyone always has, but I cannot let this fear paralyze me. There is nothing wrong with me, but the low number of black people traveling is glaring.
Fortunately, my life as black women and traveler is not only sad stories. I have traveled to countries where I was totally invisible and that the color of my skin didn't make any difference. I could come and go with ease.
There are also countries where be black helped me a lot, I revealed on my blog some reports about it. In particular two places marked me: Cuba and Turkey. In Cuba, it was incredible to be able to blend in almost entirely with the local population. People thought I was Cuban and when they saw that I was a tourist they said that we had the same color.
I felt that they were happy with the representativeness, you know? The Cubans are accustomed to dealing with white tourists, but this time was different. I was a person like them, there in a privileged position. Cuba was a journey of identification and very special to me.
Another amazing experience I had was in Turkey, Istanbul to be exact. Because of being extremely different in places, I was super well treated, since I was clearly a tourist and tourists buy!
Sellers if competed to see what store I would enter, people came to talk to me in the streets, smiled at me. Everyone wanted to know where I was from and complimented my hair. I was called by the name of every black American celebrity. Not by chance, Istanbul is my favorite city in the world.
At the end of last year, I had the opportunity to once again go to Istanbul, this time accompanied by my brother, who in addition to everything else, is rasta. My brother became the star of the city, being even called for taking selfies with people. For once, the tourists and people in an upper position was we!
*Nathalia Marques is a journalist of formation and passages through various media outlets, but it was as a reporter for tourism where she's found her passion. She is also a feminist and in 2015 decided to mix journalism, travel and female empowerment to create the M pelo Mundo site, information and travel tips for women.
*Paula is baiana and lives in Hong Kong. She's already called cities such as Paris and London home. Today, she ventures through Asia while traveling the world. She is the author of the blog "No Mundo da Paula" (In The World of Paula).
Great article!! I have to say most of those European countries are extremely racist. I wasn't surprised about the country of Finland they have a disdain towards black people. However, keep traveling and enjoy your life. Peace!!
I don't think I would ever visit Italy again. It's one of those places I felt like someone could pin something on you and get away with it. I am more interested in travelling to Africa and Melanesia these days.

WHAT IS THE LIFE MODEL?
Belonging: All people need a place to belong.
Receiving and Giving Life: Interactions with others need to give us life rather than hurt us.
Resilience and Recovery: The most resilient people are not those for whom nothing goes wrong, but those who can bounce back by maintaining their relationships and regulating their emotions when things do go wrong.
Growth and Maturity: Each stage of human development is critical to our growth, maturity and ability to thrive.
Knowing Our Hearts: Through our hearts, we come to know ourselves as God sees us and to know God well.
Why should I offer a Life Model class?
You want your community to be as fully mature as possible – spiritually and relationally – at every age and stage of life.
You want your community to be a source of joyful connectedness and belonging for the people around it.
You want your community to support and be supported by living networks: internally, in relationships, in work and in play.
You want your community's spiritual life to be connected to God and others so that each person is filled with peace and joy.
You want to restore the relational and spiritual skills in your community that are being lost to trauma and accelerated social changes.
What should I keep in mind when launching the first Life Model class?
Offering Life Model classes at your church or organization is a wonderful way to begin to develop healthy, maturing communities and leaders. Life Model classes do not offer a quick fix, but offer an approach that takes time, changing how your body, mind and spirit respond to life's joys and challenges. We recommend having experienced teachers to deliver the class material – individuals who have been trained experientially and are equipped with the skills necessary to help participants understand the depth and breadth of the material.
In what stage of growth is your community?
What types of classes have had appeal in the past?
What learning methods appeal to those in your community?
What do you hope to get out of teaching the Life Model?
Will your organization's leadership support teaching Life Model classes?
How can HCI support your efforts?
How can I partner with Healing Center International?
Offering the Life Model is an investment of time, heart, and finances.
For HCI partners, we offer two levels of support for administering Life Model courses, outlined below.
We also offer organizational partnerships. You may read about partnership levels below or please contact us.

Girl's Back Hair Was Sign of Spine Problems
A tuft of dark hair on the back of a 3-year old girl (left) was a sign of underlying spinal abnormalities. On the right, an image of the spinal cyst and split spinal cord.
(Image: © The New England Journal of Medicine ©2014)
A young girl's thick back hair was actually a sign of spine problems, according to a new report of the case.
The girl, a 3-year-old living in Taiwan, was taken to the doctor for removal of a tuft of coarse hair on her lower back.
Just after she was born, the child had undergone magnetic resonance imagining, which showed she had a split spinal cord, a condition known as diastematomyelia, as well as a fluid-filled cyst in the spinal cord, called syringomyelia. Some of her spinal fluid was also leaking out onto the skin surface. [14 Oddest Medical Cases]
At 4 days old, she had surgery to stop the leaking spinal fluid, and at 7 months old, she had additional surgery to repair her other spinal abnormalities.
The girl's condition is broadly known as occult spinal dysraphism, a group of spine malformations that are hidden from the surface, except for skin markings that, to the untrained eye, may seem unrelated.
But pediatricians know that if there is a marking on a child's lower back, they need to investigate because of its connection with underlying neural problems, said Dr. Toba N. Niazi, a pediatric neurosurgeon at Miami Children's Hospital, who was not involved in the care of the Taiwanese girl. These markings can include excessive hair (especially shaped like a horses tail), thin skin, dimples or small skin appendages that look like a tail, Niazi said. About 80 percent of children with occult spinal dysraphism have some type of skin marking, Niazi said.
These malformations involve many body structures, including nerves, muscle, skin and bones, and that's why markings often appear on the skin surface, Niazi said. "It's a malformation of the whole way the spine and skin is formed," in the affected area, Niazi said.
Dr. Ahmad Latefi, an attending neurosurgeon at North Shore-Long Island Jewish's Cushing Neuroscience Institute in Manhasset, N.Y., said that hair growth on the back is a "classic" sign of a split spinal cord malformation, which the Taiwanese girl had.
If not treated early in life, occult spinal dysraphism can cause neurological problems or musculoskeletal deformities, Niazi said.
After her surgery, the Taiwanese girl had normal cognitive development, and no difficulty walking, said the researchers, from National Taiwan University Hospital. The child's parents were told she could have laser hair removal when she was "old enough to cooperate with the procedure," the report said.

Q: Why in Javascript (1,2) equals 2? I recently discovered that (1,2) equals 2
Same for (1,3,4) => 4 always return the last number
What is this expression exactly? It's not an array, not an object, what is it ?

A: Code within parentheses is evaluated as an expression. Several expressions can be grouped together by using a comma. Commas are not just syntax for dividing arguments or function parameters, they double as an operator - much like +, -, etc serve multiple purposes, so does ,
In the case you've outlined (1,2) the grouped expressions are obviously 1 and 2. They are both evaluated to themselves, but when expressions are grouped by comma operators, only the last evaluated expression is returned.
This means:
(1,2) == 2
and:
(1,2,3,4) == 4

Q: What does it mean to "owe someone a quarter"? I was watching an episode of the TV series  Once upon a time, and Regina says "I owe someone a quarter."
Anyone know what this means?

A: "Owe" from MW - to need to pay or repay money to a person, bank, business, etc.
"Quarter" - there are several definitions but the most likely is probably #5 here -  a coin worth a quarter of a dollar.
So it's literal, not an idiom.  She probably borrowed a quarter from someone and promised to repay it later.  She hasn't yet repaid it, so she owes it to them.

A: It is customary among professionals to avoid arguing over disagreements by betting a quarter (i.e. 25 cents, a small sum). When the issue is resolved, the loser graciously pays and the disagreement is over. To see two such bets between two of the greatest engineers ever, go to: http://www.nationalaviation.org/rich-benjamin/ (search for the word "quarter")

A: Short Answer: Regina is referring to an earlier agreement (or friendly wager) that she made with her friend Snow. The agreement was that Regina would need to pay (or: owe) Snow a quarter if Regina found hope for her situation. A quarter is a coin worth 25 cents, or 1/4 of a dollar (See definition 3). Since Regina found hope, she says that she owes someone a quarter. This someone is Snow. Note that one can watch the scene "I owe someone a quarter" here on YouTube. The line is uttered just after the 2:07 mark.
Long Answer:
A quarter is short for a quarter dollar coin. A U.S. quarter is equal to one fourth (1/4) of a U.S. dollar. So it takes four quarters to equal a dollar. (Canada, our neighbour to the north, has its own quarter, which is worth one fourth of a Canadian dollar.)
Since Regina lives and works, or does whatever she does, in the U.S. (the show is set in the U.S. state of Maine), she is most naturally referring to a U.S. quarter.
Here is an image of a U.S. Quarter, showing the front and back. Not all U.S. quarters have "Texas" on the back, just the best ones. Since a dollar has a value of 100 cents, a quarter has a value of 25 cents. We use the cent sign ¢ to mean cent or cents. In most U.S. states, a quarter (25¢) right now will buy you almost 2 pencils.

Next, if you owe someone money, this means you need to pay them money for some reason. Either for a product or a service that you have not paid for yet. Or perhaps you borrowed a quarter from someone and didn't pay them back—although anyone over sixteen years old will probably not care if you pay them back. After all, what is two pencils, more or less?. There is another option, which the rest of this answer explores.

From the context of the scene, shown on YouTube, any native speaker can guess the general if not the specific meaning.
The general meaning is that Regina must have had a standing agreement with someone to pay them a quarter if something happens. This is more of an agreement rather than a bet, because of the nominal sum (Definition 2b) being wagered. As an aside, let me throw in that the old phrase (American English) "two bits" usually refers to exactly 25 cents, although it can mean a similar small sum.
We don't know the exact bet/agreement unless we are familiar with it from a former episode, or from an earlier part of the same episode.
Apparently, in this case the bet took place earlier in the same episode - which, by the way, is actually a double episode called "Smash the mirror." One can read a long plot "summary" on Wikipedia yet come away with no mention of the quarter or the fact that Regina and Robin Hood kiss in the public library, which makes me think that this summary needs to be rewritten.
Nevertheless, thank heavens, on another website,  a fan named hedwig, gushes about what she loved about the episode, and this includes:

...Snow telling Regina not to feel guilty about sleeping with Robin, Snow giving Regina a pep talk about hope, and Regina's comment about owing Snow a quarter if she was right, and then saying to Robin that she owed someone a quarter...

Thus, in this same double episode Regina comments to Snow that she will give her a quarter if Snow's pep talk about hope proves true. And since it does prove true, she says (more to herself than to Robin) "I owe someone a quarter."

Q: How to Update UITableView with data passed from another ViewController? I am trying to populate a UITableView with data passed to the ViewController from LoginViewController after the user logs in.
The current process is:
ViewController loads first, if user is not logged in LoginViewController pops up over the top.  User logs in, details are fetched from the database (userDetails and communities).  LoginViewController is then dismissed and ViewController is again visible.
The communities variable is being populated and values transferred from LoginViewController to ViewController.
I believe my problem is func tableView is run before the data is fetched from the user logging in.
print ("test 1: ",communities) just prints [],[],[],[]
However print ("test 2: ",communities) prints the correct values.
import UIKit

class ViewController: UIViewController, UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource, UsernameSentDelegate {

@IBOutlet weak var scrollView: UIScrollView!
@IBOutlet weak var receiveUsername: UILabel!
@IBOutlet weak var userEmailText: UILabel!
var userEmail: String?
var communities = [String]()

@IBOutlet weak var communitiesTableView: UITableView!

@IBAction func unwindToHome(_ segue: UIStoryboardSegue) {

}

//recieves email address from delegate from LoginViewController
func userLoggedIn(data: String) {

  userEmailText.text = data
     }

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    self.communitiesTableView.delegate = self
    self.communitiesTableView.dataSource = self

}

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
    print ("test 1: ",communities) //not printing value
    return self.communities.count
}

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {

    let title = self.communities[indexPath.row]

    let cell = UITableViewCell()

    cell.textLabel?.text = title

    return cell

}

override func prepare(for segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: Any?)
{
    if segue.identifier == "loginView" {
        let loginViewController: LoginViewController = segue.destination as! LoginViewController
        loginViewController.delegate = self
    }

    if segue.identifier == "createCommunitySegue" {
        let createCommunityController: CreateNewCommunity = segue.destination as! CreateNewCommunity
        createCommunityController.myEmail = userEmailText.text
    }

}

override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool)
{
    print ("test 2: ",communities) //prints values correctly
   let isUserLoggedIn = UserDefaults.bool(UserDefaults.standard)(forKey: "isUserLoggedIn");

    if(!isUserLoggedIn)
    {
        self.performSegue(withIdentifier: "loginView", sender: self);
    }

}

@IBAction func logoutButtonTapped(_ sender: AnyObject) {

    UserDefaults.set(UserDefaults.standard)(false, forKey: "isUserLoggedIn");
    self.performSegue(withIdentifier: "loginView", sender: self);

}

@IBAction func createCommunityTapped(_ sender: AnyObject) {

}

}

This is the code for CreateCommunityViewController:
import UIKit

class CreateNewCommunity: UIViewController {

@IBOutlet weak var communityNameTextField: UITextField!
@IBOutlet weak var passwordTextField: UILabel!
@IBOutlet weak var emailLabel: UILabel!

var myEmail: String?

@IBAction func cancelButtonPapped(_ sender: AnyObject) {

    self.performSegue(withIdentifier: "unwindCommunity", sender: self)
}

@IBAction func createCommunityButtonTapped(_ sender: AnyObject) {

    let communityName = communityNameTextField.text;
    if (communityName!.isEmpty){
        displayMyAlertMessage(userMessage: "You must name your Community");

        return;
    }else{

        func generateRandomStringWithLength(length: Int) -> String {

            var randomString = ""

Jarlenski receives 2019 John D. Thompson Prize for Young Investigators
Congratulations to Marian Jarlenski for being named the recipient of the 2019 John D. Thompson Prize for Young Investigators!
Jarlenski was presented with this award at the AUPHA Annual Meeting in New Orleans in June. This award is used to recognize young faculty who have received their PhD within the past six years for their contributions to the research literature in the field of health services. Emphasis is placed on the significance of the investigator's research, the theoretical grounding of their work, their overall productivity, their status as an intellectual leader, the quality of the journals they have published in, and their contribution to education within the field.
During her acceptance speech, Jarlenski spoke about some of the motivations that brought her to focus her research on mothers with substance use disorders who are currently on Medicaid. She spoke on the theme of the evening, resilience, and how resilience is defined as a person's ability to cope with acute and chronic stressors. She stated that resilience is a factor that has been recognized both in the development and within the treatment of substance use disorder, and how within her research she seeks to try to improve access to and quality of care for pregnant women in order to reduce some of these stressors. "Because in this country, we ask poor women to shoulder the burden of a lot of chronic stressors." She thanked Mark Roberts, the department chair, Julie Donohue, leader of the Medicaid Research Center, Everette James, director of the Health Policy Institute, and her mentor Lisa Bodnar, vice chair of research within the epidemiology department.
Jarlenski has established a focus on obstetrics health services research within the department. She has been widely published in both clinical and health services research literature and is currently PI on a NIDA-funded R01 that is investigating how to improve access to and quality of treatment for pregnant women with opioid use disorder. She continues this work in the University of Pittsburgh's Medicaid Research center, where she focuses on pre- and post-partum care, with a particular emphasis on mothers with substance abuse disorders.
Jarlenski received her undergraduate degree at Otterbein College. Following this she went on to pursue an MPH at the Yale School of Public Health and a PhD in Public Health at Emory University. She went on to become an Assistant Professor at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. In addition to her prolific academic career, she has additional experience in policy work as a legislative assistant and staff writer.

An all out blizzard will happen Tuesday and Wednesday. Looks to be the storm of the year for the midwest. There will be many areas that reach a foot of snow. Amounts will drop off further south due to a mix of rain and snow. Some icing is possible in southern Wisconsin and SE Minnesota. Look for more updates as this event gets closer.

Marriage marks were used in timber frame construction as reference points, to identify pieces that fit together in the frame or for the positioning of peg holes. Most commonly used in the 18oos and earlier, marriage marks were etched into the wood using a chisel, scribe, saw, or knife. They are also referred to as carpenter's marks.
Early timber frames were scribed together, with each joint being unique and custom fit. As a timber frame was pre-assembled and test fit, the marks were made to identify pieces that would fit together during the raising.
The marks are typically cut as straight lines, forming Roman numerals. Straight lines are the easiest to cut in timber. Usually adjacent beams would display the same numeral. Individual builders would devise their own system of marking a timber frame. Variations also exist based on time period, building types, and location.
As construction transitioned to square rule, cutting joints in a more standardized way, the use of marriage marks mostly disappeared. Timber framers may still use marriage marks however, since they can be an aid in efficient assembly during raising.
These marriage marks are in a mid-1800 barn from Ohio, that has been re-purposed into a custom home in South Carolina.
See some other barn projects from MoreSun here!


It has become really BORING, reading and commenting the trials of the religious folks to fight SCIENCE over the fact that there is no proof of existence of any 'god' ever.
Fact. The Exodus, is mentioned in more than one book of the Bible. Remember that the books of the Bible had were written at different times over thousands of years. The Exodus is in a good many of the Old Testament and some books in the New Testament.
And contrary to SmartX's statement that, " especially in the absence of any other substantial evidence".
There is evidence. This on its own would be an eye opener to any one else, other than those who are just aching to knock God off of His throne.
But there is more evidence for the Exodus than much else that is or isn't part of mostly myth related.
The Exodus is not only mentioned in the Bible but also in the historical records of at the very least Egypt.
And some of the more accepted occurrences in history has as little or just as much or a little more evidence than what the Exodus had. And the records are not any more invalid than the Bible's accounts. Yet, there are not many standing around denying these other occurrences.
Any book of the Bible written after Exodus that mentions the event was likely referring to the story of Exodus already being passed down by Jews, or else the Book of Exodus itself. It's difficult to impossible to establish them as independent sources.
Your first two links concerning King Solomon and Alexander the Great do not mention Moses, the Exodus or Hebrew slaves in Egypt at all.
The Ancient Origins article gets to this statement pretty quickly: "But we do not find even one contemporary inscription from the relevant period that records any of these events." The thrust of its later argument is that the story was suppressed in Egypt until 500-1000 years later when Egyptian historians like Manetho began to mention the Exodus.
These mentions are however only Flavius Josephus' interpretation another 300 years later, when he identified the "shepherd-king" Hyskos in Manetho's writings as "captive shepherds" and therefore Israelite slaves. This is a major stretch to even establish an indirect relation to the Exodus, let alone the existence of Moses or any miracles that might have occurred.
And please remember that the discussion itself is itself pointing to the validity of Moses. And the other sources that suggest another time for the occurrence, are just that suggestions. Not actually true. But at least there is support for the character and the occurrence.
Just because all of the exact details have not been found as the Bible says, does not mean that it did not happen as the Bible says.
And the times when mentioned that you wished, seems to be the only reference to the Exodus, does not mean that it was the Exodus only with inflated facts. It is widely known that there were times when Egypt went to war, and not a stretch of the imagination that there other instances when "slaves" were taken.
And you find it so easy to ignore a common practice where Egypt and other nations erased embarrassing historical facts from their history. And the Exodus was a big embarrassment for the ruler of Egypt, that not only was forced to allow their slaves to leave, and pay them to do so, but also to lose most if not all of his army. I'd say, this would have been a very big reason to erase his blunder.
You are being less than honorable for not recognizing that what is provided is enough to support the Biblical account.
Your prejudice is showing SmartLx. And it is affecting your ability to accept truth.
There's no doubt that Egypt took slaves. There's just no evidence that they ever had Hebrew slaves. This absence of evidence is not hard evidence that there never were Hebrew slaves, but nor is it evidence that the presence of such slaves was concealed or repressed. The idea that the story of the Exodus was deliberately left out of Egyptian history for so long is not impossible but it is nevertheless an excuse for the hole in the story, nothing more. And it's a conspicuous hole to try to cover, especially considering that it would have included the spontaneous death of half a generation – and the Pharaoh's heir – in one night.
i gladly read only your name and the first word 'fact'. then i even more gladly went down and down and more down, until i reached the bottom of your crap.
I'm an atheist. Please stop. You're not bringing anything to this site-mediation, facts, or well written paragraphs.
You're giving us a bad name.
Niki, while not necessarily agreeing with the above I will add that you are under no obligation to respond to everything people like Gerald say or might say. Having the last word is only important in a formal debate where one needs to be "ahead on points" at an arbitrary end time. Gerald doesn't "win" if he goes unanswered unless he actually convinces someone of something, which to my knowledge hasn't ever happened.
You are right, as always. I will have that in mind, but, I feel provoked every time he speaks to me, I even asked him not to, but he ignored that and continued to unnerve me, I know he knows that and does it purposefully, just in spite. He CITES BIBLE TO ME, HEY, TO MEEE!
Niki. You don't have to fight all religion. Just the ignorant kind. Just like you should be fighting the ignorance of those who who don't believe in God.
God is. There is no doubt about that. You saying that there is no proof for God, does not mean that there is evidence that there is no God.
And once again, anything is available to list as evidence.
Up to now, the atheists have not been able to use how life came to be as evidence to support evolution. But Creationism tells us how life came to be. God did it.
LEAVE ME ALONE. Don't speak to me. I detest you, ignoramus.
I have always thought that this site was to share and grow. Not one to make enemies.
I wouldn't think that what someone believes would be reason enough to cause someone to respond with animosity.
To attempt to use this as a force to push people away from this site, does not speak well for this site.
And I have nothing other than a desire to provide the "other side of the isle's" reason for why we believe in God.
Aside from that I have always asked for the physical proof for anyone to support in Evolution. To which I have only been provided more of what the Evolutionists same way to respond.
"Evolution is true; There is a mountain of evidence;" Or they come up with a hear say statement acting like this is evidence, when they know that all they are providing is what they think happened. And not providing actual laboratory induced evidence that confirms their "hear say". Or at least offer arguments that shows my arguments are not important or they are illogical. But nothing is offered.
Tthere are NO FACTS about 'god', besides, I am waiting for SmartLX to tell me I am doing something wrong. Until then I will say what I think is right. I am fighting religion here, and the fact that you, too, are an atheist, does not necessarily mean that we are both fighters. I feel you are not. Too nice. But, do you ask THEM to be nice towards us, too? Google 'the most hated group in America'. You will find it is atheists.
And religious folks, at least not most Christians are not fighting science. This is a lie that you would prefer to believe. But Christian were the scientists of the past. And Christians of today, accept fact. Not imaginary occurrences that are not supported by science. And that is exactly what Evolution is. Imaginary.
The Bible was not called the Bible until all the books in the Bible were in the Bible. Until then those books were random writings just like any other ancient writings.
But the mystery comes when it was found that all of these, "books" written over two thousand years, by different authors, who did not know one another, were found to all have one major theme. Picking up one after another, and pointing to the One God of the Universe.
My links although not mentioning Moses, was referring to other characters of history who did not have much to support their validity. But when the Bible is seen as the several books of history that the truly are, they provide more support for Moses and all other occurrences of the Bible.
And this is especially true when all of what the Bible has been used to validate occurrences of the past. And no one has ever found the Bible to be wrong.
Have you ever visited a fan fiction website? Hundreds or thousands of stories by separate authors adhering closely to a common theme and characters to maintain their status as fanfics. Believers in God will write about God, and common beliefs will produce common themes in their writing. To claim any more than that in the case of the Bible requires more knowledge about the independence of the writers than we will ever have.
There are certainly figures like Alexander the Great for whom direct evidence is scant but whose existence historians as a group will happily accept really lived. What they will not accept is that any of them performed miracles. As soon as the supernatural becomes part of a historical claim, all comparison to already-accepted historical claims is inapplicable, because there is no standard of evidence for officially accepting the supernatural as historical – unless compelled by a politically powerful religion. Since the supernatural parts of the Exodus story are the most important parts to you, as they support God's influence and the correctness of the Bible, you will find no support in the tenets of academia.
Just because those who believe in the inerrancy of the Bible will never accept that it's been found to be wrong or inconsistent doesn't mean that hasn't happened, and often. The list is long, and just because people have made the effort to answer every point doesn't mean the answers are all valid. You can claim what you need to claim to maintain your own beliefs, but it holds little power outside your own head.
SmartLx. What you mentioned above, is what is possible for today. Not for the writers of the Bible in biblical times. They were separated by time. They did not have our wonderful means of communication and did not have the internet to research what they should say. As I said, what God accomplished in giving us His Word, is in itself a miracle. For it to flow so harmoniously from one page to another. Beginning and completing the sentences and thoughts of each other. This is something that better men than you and I have marveled over for centuries. This is one of the reasons why better Atheists than you have bent over backwards to try and prove that this book was not unlike any other literature from the past.
And as you said, there is very little evidence for other historical figures from long ago. But the Bible has been proven to be a reliable source for historical facts. It has been proven accurate, in so far as what has been said, even when called into question, has always been found to be spot on.
Now has all of what it says been verified? No. But there are still scrolls also found where these where most of this Bible has been found but which can not yet be read due to their fragility of the material on which they were written. But I recently read of a new device, that is able to read the text on these scrolls, without even unrolling them. And they are beginning to find out more about this wonderful book. Please take note that the scroll mentioned was found to be part of Leviticus. An older copy then what we had before. And they say that it supports the Leviticus we have today.
The Bible, or rather the books of the Bible have more copies of it, a mountain more copies, than any other historical work. And they have been found to be so harmoniously intertwined, that they support one another without discrepancies.
As I said, the Bible is a marvelously, unique work of the past. And it is a book for our time today and for all times.
Stop fighting it. Accept the truth within its pages and you will be accepted for all eternity.
Niki, I still find no arguments offered by you to disprove anything of what I offered. Maybe you just failed to add it. I forget sometimes. So please provide this proof.
NO PROOF of 'god's NON existence. !!!
So, I will have to call EINSTEIN once again, to help me, for the umpteenth time, his famous saying, that he is NOT sure of the endlessness of the UNIVERSE, but IS of STUPIDITY. I will add, of IGNORANCE, too.
Gerald reminds me of a YURODIV, A RELIGIOUS FOOL, with a good heart. Dostoevsky wrote about them.
Here is a good site for specimen as is our Gerald here. Poor soul.
So, here is a site, look at all the 10 items, but mind the number 9 one.
There, Dostoevsky is sitting in the middle of a communist and a YURODIV, our poor soul, Gerald.
Gerald reminds me of a YURODIV, A RELIGIOUS FOOL, with a good heart, thou.
Dostoevsky is sitting here among a communist and a Gerald, a YURODIV.
and another one, both are pearls of YURODIVITY, just like our Gerald.
I sent the first link twice by mistake.
Thanks Niki. Funny. But still no proof that what I have said is not true. Are you, trying to hide the fact that what you believe is not true. And that it can not be proven?

Reuters reports that the Trump administration is planning to reframe CVE, or the "Countering Violent Extremism" program, to solely focus on Islamist extremism. According to sources briefed on the matter, this means that the program would no longer target, say, white supremacists, another victory in a long series of wins for Neo Nazis, the KKK, and other violent and terroristic groups whose aims more or less boil down to ethnic cleansing.
Reuters notes that CVE has been criticized by some as ineffective, and community groups already had concerns that the program could be used for surveillance.
Hoda Hawa, director of policy for the Muslim Public Affairs Council, told Reuters that she learned of the push to refocus CVE last week. "That is concerning for us because they are targeting a faith group and casting it under a net of suspicion," she said. During the campaign, Trump threatened to ban all Muslims from the U.S. and proposed creating a Muslim registry; since the election, bias-related harassment and intimidation spiked; since he became president, he sparked mayhem by attempting to implement a version of that Muslim ban and oversaw a bloody, botched operation in Yemen whose civilian casualties are being widely publicized by Al Qaeda. Sounds like, hmmm, this newfound "focus" just might be making everything way, way worse!
Dylan Roof, a white supremacist terrorist who became radicalized online, was recently sentenced to death for the murder of 9 black churchgoers in Charleston; meanwhile, despite efforts by Fox News and Donald Trump, Jr. to depict him as otherwise, a white male Trump and Marine Le Pen fan was charged with the deaths of six people at a Quebec mosque. Since the Oklahoma City bombing, which killed 168 people in 1995, white extremists have murdered somewhere in the range of 63 people; according to FBI documents obtained by The Intercept, the FBI has been quietly investigating the active presence of white supremacists in U.S. law enforcement agencies.
But, yeah, nothing to see here.


The globalization of the pharmaceutical supply chain has led increased us of Contract Manufacturing Organizations (CMOs). The use of CMOs provides many benefits; however, it can present unique compliance risks, particularly since the operations are not in your facility and therefore not under your direct control. The compliance risks are highlighted by FDA Warning Letter trends, the majority of which are related to serious compliance and data integrity issues at foreign CMO sites.
If you use CMOs, your company has the ultimate responsibility for product quality, safety, efficacy, and cGMP compliance. Furthermore, FDA has clearly stated that organizations using CMOs will be held accountable for CMO compliance to cGMPs, as well as adherence to regulatory commitments. Therefore, issues identified at your CMO may result in FDA 483s and/or Warning Letters issued to your company. Since FDA is holding firms using CMOs responsible, it is imperative that your organization have a robust CMO management system. At the end of the day, your organization's ability to provide proper quality oversight of CMOs is the key to assuring product safety and your company's compliance profile.


REDCO is a chartered non-profit corporation owned by the Rosebud Sioux Tribe and managed by an independent Board of Directors for the purpose of generating revenue and promoting economic development for the tribe. REDCO asked Native American Bank for support in refinancing REDCO's $800,000 debt and taking on $1.5 million of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe's debt for a total loan of $2.3 million dollars. After the loan closing, Wizipan Garriott, Executive Director of REDCO stated, "It's an awesome feeling to know that over the past three years we've taken REDCO from losing money to profitability and have gained the financial strength to help the Rosebud Sioux Tribe by taking on a big portion of the Tribe's debt. This will free up about $410,000 annually for the Tribe. Thank you to Native American Bank for working with us to make this happen."


On the off chance that you are going on an excursion with companions or the more distant family you may find that the auto you claim may not be sufficiently extensive to house them all. In a circumstance like this you have the choice of leasing a greater auto. The vast majority timid far from auto rentals since they are concerned that they may wind up paying significantly more cash than if you utilized your own vehicle. Be that as it may, this may not really be valid. In the event that you go about it right you can get an awesome arrangement for the cash you are paying.
primary activity when leasing an auto is to visit the neighborhood rental organizations and see all the diverse sorts and models they lease. You ought to get a citation from each organization for the amount they will charge for the term of the trek. Most organizations charge by the day and this is helpful on the off chance that you are not going to require it for a really long time or are not going too far. In any case, there are sure organizations that likewise charge by the mile perusing along these lines on the off chance that you are influencing an extremely long excursion then this to arrangement will suit you better. In the event that your get-away will be for a long stretch and you wont require the vehicle at the goal you ought to pick an organization that has a branch in your goal city. If so then you can drive the vehicle there, drop it off and lease it again when you are returning accordingly sparing the cash charge for a considerable length of time you keep the vehicle yet not utilize it.
When you have picked the organization and the model you need to lease there are a couple of things that you should pay special mind to while finishing the customs and legalities. Continuously get the offered protection since it is less expensive to pay the ostensible protection auto than pay for the harm if there should be an occurrence of any episode. Additionally make certain read every one of the terms and conditions before you sign anything. The refueling of the vehicle is one such condition. Continuously endeavor to refuel the auto at a nearby station before you return it since you may wind up spending significantly more generally according to the organization terms. Additionally make certain about the timings when the vehicle should be returned so you don't need to superfluously pay for an additional day. Likewise read up about harm claims.
You can benefit awesome arrangements and rebates in the event that you book the vehicle ahead of time or on weekdays when the organizations have less business. AVIS and HERTZ likewise have various rebate coupons that they respect. These can be found in magazines or in the daily paper. Numerous vouchers can likewise be profited on the web in the event that you know where to look. By utilizing these coupons you can spare significantly more cash that you can in the end spend on your outing. Simply make sure to convey the coupons with you when you go down to lease the auto generally the organization may not respect the assention.

Valkyria Chronicles 4 live stream promises first in-game footage on Dec. 27
SEGA has declared that they will be hosting a live stream for Valkyria Chronicles 4 before the end of the year. On December 27, SEGA has promised to show off the very first gameplay footage of the upcoming SRPG.
The live stream will start on December 27, 2018 at 8:00pm JST and can be viewed at:
SEGA has confirmed that guests on the stream include the following voice actresses: Naomi Ohzora (voices Nikola Grev) and Yukiyo Fujii (voices Kiara Rosina). Hashiyan Kosaka has been confirmed to MC the event. Of course the creators behind the game will also be on the stream, explaining things. I would hope.
Valkyria Chronicles 4 hits Japanese PlayStation 4 owners on March 21, 2018 and later in 2018 for Nintendo Switch. As for us Westerners, we will get the game on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch sometime in 2018.
Yakuza Creator and Persona Director to host SEGA live stream on July 25
July 18, 2017 by George
Its not uncommon for SEGA's general director and creator of the Yakuza (then Spikeout, Super Monkey Ball, Daytona USA, and more) series Toshihiro Nagoshi to have a stream. Its a very regular thing he does over in Japan. On the live streams he likes to bring on other SEGA creators to talk about various topics including movies, music and even their projects they are working or worked on.
We should be having a pretty good live stream later this week as Toshihiro Nagoshi has invited Persona 5 director and producer Katsura Hashino and will stream on July 25, 2017. Not to mention Katsura Hashino is also working on a new game, with a new studio within Atlus, this project is being called Project Re: Fantasy. Maybe the stream will offer more details on that project and even the next Yakuza title? Maybe, maybe not. Tokyo Game Show 2017 is only a couple of months away, so it wouldn't be crazy if they hint at something.
You can catch the live stream, if you are fluent in Japanese or watch anime, on July 25th at 8:55pm JST on Niconico. I guess we shall see what comes of this, stay tuned to the site as we post an update on what went down on the stream.
SEGA Central Doing Live Show on August 12th
August 11, 2016 by George
SEGA Europe's SEGA Central show will be doing a live broadcast on August 12, 2016 at 8:30 AM PST. The show promises to finally reveal the release date for SEGA 3D Classics Collection in Europe, plus talk about the latest going on with SEGA and Dan (SEGA Central host) will answer people's questions that have been sent in.
While it doesn't seem like SEGA Central will have something mind blowing, like a new game announcement, it is still nice that SEGA Europe are doing these types of shows. So make sure to tune in and support the show.
A look at SEGA of Japan's Yakuza stage show
April 24, 2015 by George
Did you know that the Japanese love going to stage shows? Did you know that SEGA have made quite a bit of stage shows of their franchises including stuff like Phantasy Star Online 2 and now Yakuza aka Ryu Ga Gotoku? I have to be honest, the stage show doesn't look half bad from Famitu's photo gallery and most of the actors fit their roles unlike the Takashi Miike directed 'Like a Dragon' movie.
Below you can see a few of the photographs taken from the stage show's debut. If you want more head over to Famitsu's extensive gallery.
Atlus set for another Persona announcement on May 2nd
Right after the SEGA buyout was confirmed, Atlus went ahead and confirmed that they where working on four Persona titles. Seems that isn't enough, since we will be getting another announcement come May 2nd.
Atlus will be having a live Persona-related stream on NicoNico on May 2nd, 11:30pm JST. What is this stream about? They will have guests, preview material for the upcoming Persona 3: Midsummer Knight's Dream movie, and this teased announcement.
The last event was when Atlus announced those upcoming Persona games. What do they have in store this time? Another movie? More games? I guess we will find out soon.
Does Sega have a new game coming?…Hell Yeah!
March 1, 2012 by Shigs
Today, Sega announces "Hell Yeah! Wrath of the Dead Rabbit" a new downloadable game from Arkedo Studios, the developers behind Big Bang Mini and Nervous Brickdown. The game looks to be a heavily (but comically) violent 2-D action game set in the depths of hell. Drag your mouse over to read more about this game and see an ultra violent trailer. "The rabbit is coming! You better start running!"
New Sonic CD Trailer
October 19, 2011 by Shigs
A new, very TV broadcast-like (Is that a word?) trailer of Sonic CD has now been put up by Sega. The trailer emphasizes it's Genesis Sega CD roots, while also keeping up the "prequel to Sonic 4" thing.
Sonic CD is due out later this year for LIVE, PSN and iOS platforms.

Celebrate the Dreamcast's 12th Birthday With Us!
September 1, 2011 by Barry
Since 2009, It has become a yearly tradition for me to throw a Dreamcast birthday party by way of Dreamcast gaming, a live stream, chit chat, drinking and pizza. This year will be no different from last year: Starting at 11am Eastern Standard Time (5pm GMT) on Friday, September 9th, I'll be kicking off the party at twitch.tv/dreamroom. We'll play a ton of games, chat, reminisce and celebrate the 12th anniversary of the Dreamcast's American launch. We'll check out the original launch titles, play some wacky imports, go on a Dobuita shopping spree and I even have a few surprises.
So mark your calendars and keep your eyes on The Dreamcast Junkyard and SEGAbits as the big day nears!
Sakura Wars Live announces new show dates
September 30, 2010 by George
Sakura Wars will be having its long awaited (according to their site) live comback. There will be 4 shows, spanning 3 days. The party starts on December 10th and ends on the 12th.
The show is going to be entitled: "Sakura Taisen: Pari Hanigumi Live 2010 – Sparking Stars – Pretty Flowers". It is hard to get a translation out of google. I guess its good to know that Sakura Wars name is still being used, but what about a new game?

¶1. (C) A very self-confident Central Election Commission (CEC) Chairman Vladimir Churov sketched for the Ambassador at their inaugural meeting June 19 an electoral process fully controlled by a CEC responsive to complaints of voters and working constructively with all active political parties. The presence of foreign election observers during the December Duma elections was under discussion said Churov, but in any event there would be many active domestic, party-connected observers at the polls. Churov believed there would be no further changes to electoral legislation before the March 2008 presidential elections. He thought that parties had ready access to the media, but that the coverage they got was commensurate with the amount of activity they engaged in. He described himself as ambushed by a June 15 Federal Anti-Monopoly Service announcement that seemed to ban political ads on billboards. He would meet with the Anti-Monopoly Commission Chairman soon to resolve the problem. End summary.
Chairman Self-Confident
¶2. (C) A relaxed, confident Central Election Chairman (CEC) Vladimir Churov offered the Ambassador on June 19 an extended monologue on the state of his agency's preparation for the December Duma elections. Churov used no notes and did not consult with aides attending the meeting with him during the one-hour meeting. He made numerous references to his previous experience in election-related matters, notably as a monitor of elections in Ukraine and Central Asia, and he made it clear that the CEC would prefer to manage the election process with no assistance from abroad.
Work with Political Parties
¶3. (C) Churov noted that the December contest would be the fifth cycle of elections since Russia's 1991 "revolution." Distinguishing this round from its predecessors would be the all-important role played by political parties. The December elections would be Russia's first encounter with a party list-only system, and Churov thought that would speed the further development of political parties.
¶4. (C) Among the problems faced by the CEC, said Churov, was the need to update voting lists. He estimated that 15 - 19 percent of voters were incorrectly listed, and told the Ambassador that the CEC would correct the voter lists before the December vote.
¶5. (C) The CEC met regularly with representatives of the seventeen registered political parties, and had conducted outreach with youth organizations as well. Churov had lobbied the parties for "honorable" conduct. He was pleased to note that there had been no problems to date, and had cautioned the parties that dirty campaign tactics would only reduce voter turnout. He predicted that the CEC would be fully prepared for the Duma contest by August 1, one month before the announcement of the beginning of the official election campaign.
¶6. (C) Churov told the Ambassador that the CEC would be fully transparent for outsiders. On August 14, the CEC would hold a one-day seminar on the upcoming elections to which the media and diplomatic representatives would be invited. The CEC's methodological literature was available to all interested parties; over three million copies had been printed. In order to ensure that the conduct of the elections went smoothly, Churov joked that he would deploy an "army (of pollworkers) larger than that of (Minister of Defense) Serdyukov."
¶7. (C) Although he promised the process would be transparent to outsiders, Churov was unenthusiastic about the prospect of ODIHR monitoring of the elections. The CEC, he said in response to a question from the Ambassador, was "discussing" the question, and would, in the end, abide by Russian law and its international obligations in accepting foreign monitors.
¶8. (C) With the approach of the elections, all parties were becoming more active and were receiving greater media attention. Churov believed that the Union of Right Forces (SPS) and the Communist Party (KPRF) were receiving more MOSCOW 00003012 002 OF 002 coverage than were United Russia, For A Just Russia, or the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia (LDPR). In one of his meetings, Churov had admonished party representatives to be active. Media exposure, he claimed, was not a right, but the by-product of efforts to engage with the population.
¶9. (C) Churov said that the CEC would work constructively with all parties registered by the Federal Registration Service (FRS). He hoped that the complicated system, that has the FRS, the Tax Inspectorate, and sometimes the courts involved, would produce a clear list of contending parties by the September 1 start of the campaign.
¶10. (C) Churov tipped his hat to Europe and the United States in noting that polling places this year would be equipped with Braille instructions and, where necessary, would be wheelchair accessible. Cooperation with international organizations was important, Churov stressed, especially with professional colleagues. He mentioned with pleasure twice during the meeting his work with former U.S. senators and congressmen, and noted that his CEC was staffed with former Russian Duma deputies and one Federation Council representative. Later in the conversation, he offered that Russia needs "colleagues, not controllers."
¶11. (C) In response to a question from the Ambassador, Churov regretted that voter registration cards would not be put into play during this election cycle, as there was no legal provision for it. The election commissions would make greater use of an "invitation system" this time around, however. Churov thought that voters would be informed of the elections twenty days and "invited" three days in advance of the December 2 election date to vote.
¶12. (C) Churov said there would be no changes in the election law until after the March presidential elections. He cited approvingly Belarus and Moldova's "stable" electoral systems as models for Russia to follow. Adjustments to the electoral systems of Ukraine had done little to nurture stability there, Churov thought.
¶13. (C) "Observers are the voters' best friend," Churov said, and he predicted a very large number of domestic political party observers, who would have access to the same information as poll workers, would be at the polls on election day. He hoped that most complaints could be corrected as they arose during the campaign. The federal hotline would be key to the CEC's effort, and Churov praised its use during the April Krasnoyarsk elections. At several points in the conversation, Churov indicated that court cases would be seen by him as evidence that the electoral system had not worked properly.
¶14. (C) In response to a question from the Ambassador, Churov described himself as "surprised" by the June 15 Federal Anti-Monopoly Service announcement that billboard political advertising would violate the law on advertising. A CEC representative had telephoned each of the registered parties and urged them to continue with their plans to advertise while the problem was resolved. Churov expected he would meet with the Anti-Monopoly Service Chairman very soon, and that the ban would be lifted.
¶15. (C) A very self-confident Churov referred frequently to his experience in monitoring elections and his familiarity with statistics during his conversation with the Ambassador. The Chairman was proud of his efforts, when in St. Petersburg, to help the USG investigate the history of famous Americans whose fates were tied to Russia, and he recommended to the Ambassador an article he had written noting the contributions of Russians to the development of the United States. Churov's careful answer to the Ambassador's question about the possible presence of ODIHR election monitors suggests, as did a Rossiiskaya Gazeta article written by Churov soon after becoming Chairman, that he personally would prefer minimal foreign involvement in a process that he believes is already ably administered by him and his colleagues at the CEC, but that he ultimately understands the importance of Russia's OSCE commitments.

On December 14th FCC (USA) will make one of the 'most controversial' decisions – repeal or retain 'net neutrality'. If the decision is to repeal, it will have far reaching implications on consumers and businesses. Even though it's currently US-centric, there are global implications. The scale of impact will depend on the extent to which the ISPs will go in exercising their rights as per 'Restoring the internet freedom order'.
Assuming a greater control by them, the first casualty will be 'digital innovation' – especially the pace and diversity. The 'open internet' allowed small start-ups with revolutionary ideas to still benefit from scale – in development, adoption and usage. For example, in the case of an emerging 'IoT' provider, the throttling/blocking can seriously impact the adoption and usage rate. While larger companies with deep pockets might be able to 'pay up' for faster connections, it will limit the diversity in innovation.
When it comes to marketing, especially online – there are mixed implications. Brands/companies will need to invest in higher quality 'owned' content that the consumers will want to pay to access. Getting the right content in front of the right audience might cost more, but the engagement metrics with that content can potentially be higher. For example, higher cost of impressions but higher CTR too. Ad networks and Email service providers might end up paying a higher fee to ISPs to ensure the content reaches the consumers through the 'fast lane'.
Gaming/streaming/voice&/video chat industries that require faster connections could see a drop in userbase and usage rate, if consumers will need to pay a higher fee for a faster connection. Again, the pain points will be felt more by small companies who won't be able to compete with big players to secure a 'preferred partner' tie-up with ISPs.
Global implications are also many. Apart from setting a bad precedent for other countries to follow, a higher service cost borne by global companies (like Netflix) can trickle down to users around the globe. US based companies providing global Cloud services have two problems to tackle. One is potentially higher fees to ISPs for 'faster connection' and the other is cost of encryption of data to prevent ISPs from having access. Logically, these costs might be offset by higher license fees.
There is one industry that can benefit from the 'opportunity' created by the lack of net neutrality – satellite broad band. Especially Low Earth Orbit satellite networks like OneWeb and SpaceX that can match terrestrial broadband in terms of speed. OneWeb backed by Richard Branson aims to bring internet to 31% of the world's population. SpaceX by Elon Musk has a grander ambition of a truly global internet access with a network 4,425 LEO satellites.
In our region, there are some restrictions placed on internet access due to social/political factors. But apart from that, there hasn't been any reported news surrounding net neutrality.


Help prevent damage to forests and home of tigers from railway line expansion in Melghat.
Melghat Tiger Reserve is the first tiger Reserve of Maharashtra and the 3rd biggest in terms of area in the country (Area-2768 sq km). It was amongst the first tiger reserves made under project tiger. It is also home to over 50 tigers and plenty of endangered fauna and flora species. In terms of biodiversity Melghat offers a great ecological value to the general masses of Vidarbha region as well as central India.
This online petition is in regards to opposing the proposed railway gauge conversion of Akola- Khandwa line which is passing through core area of Melghat Tiger Reserve.
Development of infrastructure is necessary for the growth of mankind of any region for its future prosperity. However, development should not be at a cost which has irreversible effects on the biodiversity which sustains the very life of the people of that area. Sighting this basic philosophy, we request GOI to consider the following important factors and urge the Railway Ministry to look for alternate routes as suggested below for constructing the railway line in that section.
We have discussed the following points in detail with stakeholders and people of this particular area and therefore we present the same for your thoughtful consideration and for your support.
The original route connects only 9 villages with a population of 6950 people.
These 9 villages being in forest area have limited agricultural produce.
No possibility of industrial benefits as line passes through tiger reserve.
No extra employment due to railway infrastructure.
Disturbance to tourism prospects of wildlife due to railway line disturbing the whole area.
Very few people are actually connected by the old route. Also many old villages are being rehabilitated from the old route which falls under the forest area.
Nullify the gains achieved by relocation of villages inside the tiger reserve by spending Rs 127.30 crore.
Length of proposed alignment (approx): 39km passing through Melghat Forest area.
The alternate route will connect 100 villages with over 2,50,000 population benefitting from it.
Huge potential for farmers as this route passes near many agricultural settlements and banana orchards.This banana belt can connect to markets in north so that the farmers of Vidarbha who are already in distress can find new sources to sell their products at a better price.
Here the railway line can extend future possibilities of industrial growth and more livelihood generation to more people of the area. It will definitely lead to more prosperity of the citizens of the this area which has very limited infrastructural development.
The new routes and new railway stations will also be a new opportunity for increased employment directly as well as indirectly in form of small businesses like hotels, shops, etc.
With alternate route the beautiful forests of Melghat, Wan and Ambabarwa will have more animals and undisturbed natural sightings for the tourists which will provide another source of livelihood to the locals.
There is no scope for any alternate railway connectivity if the old route is followed.
Melghat Tiger Reserve is already gained from relocation of villages inside the tiger reserve by spending Rs 127.30 crore.
Length alternate alignment = 80.56 km passing outside of Melghat forest area.
Keeping all these above comparison in mind the new route even though a little longer in length is actually a solution to many of the existing problems of the people of this area to better prosperity and living standards. As well the Melghat Tiger Reserve will get benefited from this alternate alignment. It is therefore our earnest request to you to sign this online petition and supportthe Tiger and Forest conservation and oppose the existing railway gauge conversion work through the home of the last few tigers.

You know, I was contemplating that, too. Before deciding tools had gotten better, I had to make sure it wasn't JUST that I learned how not to break them.
If you use SAE in your search instead of AF, you might find more options. SAE and AF are the same thing, but probably anything made for the US will reference SAE instead.
Yeah, it gets confusing when two or three names are used for the same thing. I think AF actually stands for Across Flats. I saw that when looking things up. Maybe that is to separate it from how another system measures bolt heads, like maybe from point to point? Anyway, in SAE there are fine thread and coarse thread bolts/screws. Not something you really have to worry about, but if you go looking for bolts based on American Finethread, you might not get what you need, especially if it's actually a coarse thread!
" Whitworth threads were introduced in the 1800s and are refered to as BSW for British Standard Whitworth. A finer thread was introduced and called British Standard Fine (BSF). AF was introduced much later and refers to Across Flats and was related to UNC(universal national coarse) and UNF(universal national fine) threads in the USA A 1/2 inch Whitworth socket is for a nut that fits on a 1/2 inch diameter thread, and is usually 1.5 times the diameter of the screwed rod across the flats of the nut. A 1/2 inch AF socket fits on a nut which is 1/2 inch across the flats and could be a much smaller threadsize".
If you go on Ebay UK and put in "Whitworth" spanners you will find imperial spanners. If you had a UK 1/2 inch spanner and a US 1/2 inch spanner they would do the same job.
So its even more confusing BSW, BSF, Whitworth, UNC, UNF, SAE, AF, American Finethread (American Fine-UNF). Why cant we just have a universal standardized terminology for everything. I was actually considering writing a dictionary for British users on this site at one point.
Threads and thread sizes can and are confusing as hell. If you want to get really "screwed" up, go check out Bicycle threads. British, French, American, all can be different.
AF wrenches (spanners) refer to the width "Across Flats" on the bolt heads. i.e. a 1/4" SAE bolt has a 7/16" AF head, 5/16" bolt is 1/2" AF and so forth. It doesn't matter if it's fine thread NF or course thread NC (for national fine or national course.) the bolt heads are the same size in general. There are some odd-balls, but you won't get into those on your car.
Best thing to do is NOT confuse British and American threads. It's like when I worked in Metric, I stayed in metric. I didn't confuse thing by converting unless I didn't have a choice depending on the machine I was operating.
Keep it simple my friend. You don't need to send a fortune on "Snap-On" wrenches. Most that are available these days won't break unless you put a 2 foot extension pipe on the thing.
EDIT: I changed 3/8" to 5/16: bolt. My bad!
I need some proper spanners instead of the box of junk I use.

Ditto. I opted for a mix of Tekton & Gearwrench and a new US Pro tools 9 drawer toolbox. No excuse not to tackle a job now.
Hey Steve, good call and why not...…….. it's only money!!!
Yeah. I spent around £900 in total icluding a new toolbox. Its a big spend but i renewed everything. My thinking was why pay someone else to do a job if i can do it myself. I would have to pay someone else if i didnt have the tools. A GOOD mechanic charges £55 per hour. So if i work on the car for 16 hours the tools have paid for themselves. I am no engine man so that work was farmed out. The interior i can do. The exterior strip i can do ready for paint as well as put the parts back on the exterior. My thinking was buy quality and you only buy once. I am 57 and know i will never have to replace again. lol most my tools were given to me by my grandfather and no ring spanners. I just had open ended spanners from my grandad and some very very inferior 1970's Chinese sockets that are metric and most are rounded off inside. I wanted tools for life. I didnt want to spend 900. It was painful because its money i could have spent on parts or paintworks. The only way i could justify the big spend was it will be a long term saving many many times over.
Totally agree, that's how I started. I had brought my first Mustang in to replace the balljoints and the shop refused to work on it because it was "too rusty", so I took the $200 they were going to charge me and went where every American boy went to buy tools - Sears. Bought a Haynes manual and the parts I needed from the local Acme Auto. Spent a little over $250 and still have that manual and those tools to this day. That was 1989. Heck, I probably have some random parts from that car in my current Mach.
To be honest, I'd kill to find a car that was as "rusty" as that Mustang. It needed one rear floor, small patches in the lower quarters and a taillight panel.


NASHVILLE, Tenn.— Back in the 1890s, a pair of Sunday school teachers—D.T. Miles of Hopedale, Illinois, and Virginia Hawes of New York City—both had the same idea.
Today, Vacation Bible School—better known as VBS—remains one of the most popular church programs in America.
Six in 10 Americans say they went to VBS growing up. Two-thirds of American parents say they plan to send kids to VBS this summer—even if they skip church themselves.
And almost everyone involved had a great time, according to a new survey from Nashville-based LifeWay Research.
LifeWay Research surveyed 1,200 American adults about their experience with VBS.
Twenty-two percent say they went every summer growing up, while 14 percent said they went most summers. Another 13 percent went occasionally. Five percent went more than once. Forty percent never went.
Most (88 percent) say VBS helped them better understand the Bible. That includes two-thirds who either completely (37 percent) or mostly agree (26 percent). Twelve percent disagree.
Americans who didn't go to VBS as a child also didn't go to church at all (31 percent), or went to a church that did not offer VBS (31 percent), were too busy (10 percent), weren't invited (7 percent) or didn't go for some other reason (15 percent).
Five percent say their family went to a church that offered VBS—but they weren't interested in going.
More than half (61 percent) of American adults who did not go to VBS agree they still have some positive thoughts about the program. That includes 28 percent who completely (14 percent) or mostly agree (14 percent). Thirty-three percent slightly agree. Thirty-nine percent disagree.
A majority of Americans (57 percent) who did not go to VBS also believe the program could have helped them better understand the Bible—at least a little. Forty-three percent disagree.
The survey's results are a great reminder of why VBS matters, said Jana Magruder, director of LifeWay Kids.
The most common reasons: The family attended the church where the program was held (38 percent) or the parents were also taking part in VBS (33 percent). Twenty-nine percent say they valued their child's spiritual growth. Twenty-seven percent valued studying the Bible.
A quarter (26 percent) say their child went to VBS because someone—other than family—invited them.
Two-thirds of parents (64 percent) say their child is likely to go to VBS this year—including about half who completely (29 percent) or mostly (18 percent) agree. A third (36 percent) disagree.
More than half (58 percent) say their child may go to more than one VBS. Forty-two percent disagree.
"Two-thirds of American parents are eager to send their children to a church activity where they will have fun experiences centered on what churches care about most: Bible stories, the gospel and worship," said Magruder.
Many parents say they'll send their kids to VBS even if it's held at someone else's church. Sixty percent say they will encourage their child to attend a VBS program at a church where the parent does not attend services.
More parents will encourage their child to attend VBS at another church if they get invited by a friend (69 percent).
A demographically balanced online panel was used for interviewing American adults. LifeWay Kids sponsored the study. The survey was conducted March 7-10, 2018. Quotas and slight weights were used to balance gender, age, ethnicity, education and region. The completed sample is 1,200 surveys. The sample provides 95 percent confidence that the sampling error from the online panel does not exceed plus or minus 3 percentage points. (This margin of error accounts for the effect of weighting.) Margins of error are higher in sub-groups.
