Harry Styles had more surprises to share with fans for his second performance at Weekend 2 of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.
After his Weekend 1 performance included the debut of two new songs and country music legend Shania Twain joining him on the Main Stage, speculation was on as fans wondered if Weekend 2's set would be the same or not.
Styles did perform his new songs, "Boyfriend" and "Late Night Talking." This time, however, it was Lizzo who joined him. She performed "I Will Survive" by Gloria Gaynor, wearing a coat that looked it was made from the same material as an orange feather boa. Styles wore one too, but his was pink.

Next, Styles sang "What Makes You Beautiful," the hit song from his former boy band One Direction, as a duet with Lizzo.
Lizzo recently dropped a new single called "About Damn Time," and her new album "Special" is expected on July 15. But that wasn't the only reason she was likely asked to perform with Styles.
The friendship between the two singers goes back multiple years. Styles performed a cover of Lizzo's hit song "Juice" in the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge in 2019. In 2020, they performed together at one of her shows in Miami, Florida, and also shared a special, loving moment together at The Brit Awards.
After performing in a jumpsuit with large colorful sequins on Weekend 1, Styles opted for a red and silver jacket with red pants — all appearing to be made of leather — for this weekend's performance. During the first song, "As It Was," the jacket was removed to reveal a similar looking vest with nothing else underneath it.
The ensemble also included big silver letters "H" and "S" on the back of the pants and was adorned with large, sparkly images of strawberries and cherries.
Another surprise on Weekend 2 was Styles singing "Medicine," an unreleased song that he previously performed on tour.

The Reasearch Of Mao Zedong's Socialist New Countryside Building Thought
GTID:2166360245979890 Subject:Marxist theory and ideological and political education
With the full implementation of the new era's "building a new socialist countryside" strategic decision, the grand blueprint and the practice process of the "building a socialist new countryside" introduced by the Communist Party of China in the the 1950s has been a center again. The research of scholars from 1950s to 1960s, involves all the construction of new rural areas, but because of the research perspective, interests and the influence of various factors, the research isn't balanced. Most of them are on the exposition of rural building or farmers problem's particular aspect, the research of Mao Zeon's socialist new rural building mainly concentrated in Mao Zedong new rural building's specific policy measures, It's not comprehensive and systematic, and It's lack of thinking of Mao Zeon's new rural construction. These show that there is still great space to research Mao Zeon's socialist new countryside building thought, it is also very necessary. The series of creative thinking theory on " socialist new countryside" of the CPC's first-generation collective leadership with Mao Zedong as the core, such as Mao Zeon's theory on the farmer issue, the agriculture cooperation, agricultural modernization theory , agricultural modernization building theory and so on, is indeed the model of Marxism Theory and the actual conditions of China's link. These theories greatly enriched and developed Marxist theory on the farmers issue theory and have great practical significance to the current socialist new countryside construction.In 1950s and 1960s ,China's new rural building under the guidance of Mao Zedong Thought, from the objective and Programmed of socialist new countryside building to the agriculture cooperation, to "Great Leap Forward" movement and the movement of people's communes, set off the socialist new countryside building's upsurge with the class struggle as the key command ultimately. In this difficult and tortuous practical process, our party succeeded in changing the relations of production greatly and established the socialist system and stirred up the great enthusiasm of peasants to build a new socialist countryside. With the arduous pioneering, new rural construction has achieved fruitful results, the earth-shaking changes have taken place in the ancient rural on the basis of poverty: the development of large-scale infrastructure building , the promotion of agricultural technology and agricultural mechanization ,the building of rural grass-roots organizations, the majority of farmers in politics; modern spiritual civilization created a new rural style; rural social security system has been established initially. After the long and arduous exploration, the Communist Party of China formed a number of the correct theories on the building of a socialist new countryside, in the process of practice, because of some difficult conditions beyond the constraints of history, the new rural construction later become the "leftist" gradually, and didn't go but stop, but this can not deny the new rural building's great achievements made during this period completely. When we look back at this period of history, it should be recognized that the Communist Party of China faced the difficulties and the brave and indomitable spirit in the road of socialist construction, we also should learn from history to recognize the profound lessons and the basic experience: understanding the principles of scientific socialism objectively and rationally , grasping the ever-changing basic national conditions accurately, dealing with the complicated international situation correctly, building a new socialist countryside characteristically.

(b) Schedule 9 to that Act (orders) so far as relating to orders under that Part.
§ (2) The review shall in particular include consideration of whether (and, if so, how) the law should be amended to facilitate the introduction of rural road hierarchies.
§ (3) A rural road hierarchy is a system under which rural roads are categorised by a local traffic authority (by reference to the ways in which they are used) for the purpose of subjecting different categories of rural roads to different speed limits.
§ (5) The Secretary of State shall publish a report of the review before the end of the period of 12 months beginning with the day on which this Act is passed.
§ (6) The Secretary of State shall lay a copy of the report before each House of Parliament.
§ (7) In this section "local traffic authority" has the same meaning as in the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984.").
§ Lord Whitty moved Amendments Nos. 30 and 31: Clause 272, page I77, line 16, leave out second ("and"). Clause 272, page 177, line 16, at end insert ("and section (Report on rural road speed limits)").
§ Lord Whitty moved Amendments Nos. 32 and 33: Clause 276, page 178, line 23, leave out ("and 266 to 268") and insert ("266 and (Quiet lanes and home zones) and 267 and 268"). Clause 276, page 178, line 26, leave out ("section 265") and insert ("sections (Type approval: individual exemptions), 265 and (Report on rural road speed limits)").
§ Lord Dixon-Smith moved Amendment No. 34: Schedule 12, page 235, line 2, at end insert (", a London traffic authority's and the Greater London Authority's").
§ The noble Lord said: My Lords, in moving the amendment, I speak also to Amendments Nos. 35 to 39.
§ The Bill provides that local authorities shall have the power as a tool in their transport planning to raise either congestion charges or workplace parking levies. One might have thought that in that situation one was discussing a local tax raised locally for local purposes. It is a matter of regret that that is not what Schedule 12 provides. Schedule 12 provides that these local taxes set and determined locally for local purposes may remain so for 10 years. After that period, it is an option and the Government will review the situation. Of course, they may do the honourable and decent thing and allow the situation to continue; but they may not. That seems to me to be a new departure in local taxation which is somewhat different from the situation which arises over fines—they tend to find their way into the Government's hands—which are the product of traffic offences committed locally and the result of local procedures.
§ As we heard earlier, sometimes local authorities are not even allowed to keep the costs of collecting those revenues. In this instance, this is a purely local affair for 10 years after which the Government can get their sticky fingers on the money if they so choose. That is a novel principle in local government taxation which I find to be thoroughly wrong and obnoxious.
§ The purpose of this group of amendments is so to amend Schedule 12 that we make it possible for the product of this revenue to remain with the local authorities for the long-term future. We provide that, if the original purpose for which the money was required ceases—it has to be transport related initially—that money can be kept locally in aid of the local rate fund.
§ The question was raised as to whether we could include London. London is included, whether it is the Greater London Authority or one of the boroughs which raises the charge.
§ At this hour, I do not wish to go beyond the basic principle. The ramifications are extremely dangerous. I do not think that we should accept the dangerous principle that it is proper for the Government administratively to decide that the product of a local taxation decision should be drawn into the Government's coffers after a period of time. These amendments would make it possible for the revenue to remain locally. I beg to move.
My Lords, the novel part of these provisions is that the revenue from such road user charging would be totally hypothecated. It would be hypothecated for public transport purposes for 10 years or for any scheme started within the 10 years. That is an important principle of charging, in delivering our integrated transport policy at the local level, and of giving effect to the local transport plans on which so many local authorities are now enthusiastically engaged.
1761 As drafted, the noble Lord's amendments would depart from that principle. They would offer local authorities the option of using the revenue from new charges, for example, to reduce council tax—not after 10 years but from the moment a charging or licensing scheme is introduced. That is not appropriate. From the way the noble Lord moved the amendment I do not think that it was his intention. We believe that this situation has to be reviewed in 10 years' time because ultimately under hypothecation one may well run out of appropriate transport expenditure in which to engage. But that hypothecation should stand for a significant period of time. Ten years seems to be the most appropriate.
We discussed this issue during some lengthy discussions on the Greater London Authority Bills. We accepted that 10 years is an appropriate period. We believe that that should be the case more generally in this Bill for all local authorities. Clearly, if there are transport needs to be addressed after 10 years, the hypothecation could well continue. But we need to build in a review period. It is not an interference in local judgment. It will be up to the local authority whether it continues the scheme and what it spends the money on from the scheme within the framework of its local transport plan.
I believe that the noble Lord's anxieties are misplaced. The amendment would lead almost to the opposite of what the Bill is about; namely, the delivery of an effective integrated transport system at local level. I hope that he will not pursue the amendment.
My Lords, before the Minister sits down, if he will give me an assurance that, in the event that the local authority has nothing to spend these charges on in the transport field, the charges can then cease, I have no difficulties with what he suggests and would be happy to withdraw the amendment. However, when we discussed the matter earlier, that did not appear to be the situation. Once the charges start, they run. There is a difficulty.
My Lords, no, there will be a review after 10 years as to whether the charges are still 1762 needed. Charges are needed on the one hand for funding; and on the other hand to achieve certain changes in the traffic behaviour to fit in with an integrated transport plan. It may well be that the funding element may diminish over time. I suspect that the period will be considerably longer than 10 years, but the traffic management dimension is unlikely to diminish. I cannot, therefore, give the noble Lord that assurance.
My Lords, there is a fundamental difference between us on the issue of when a local tax is not a local tax. What local authorities are being asked to introduce is a national tax which may be applied for a time for local purposes. I do not think that that is proper. It is too late in the evening to divide the House, although I am immensely tempted to do so, because there is an important principle involved.
I am not satisfied with the Minister's answer, but in the circumstances I beg leave to withdraw the amendment.
Moved, That the Bill do now pass.—(Lord Whitty.) On Question, Bill passed, and returned to the Commons with amendments.
My Lords, I beg to move that the House do now adjourn. In moving the Motion, perhaps I may place on record our thanks to the staff for the long hours that they have worked on this Bill and all this week. In particular I thank the Hansard writers, who have worked very long hours.
§ House adjourned at twenty-one minutes past eight o'clock.


Malaria has long been known to be a serious problem in the "Low Country" or coastal plain region of South Carolina. In the summer of I9I4I1, representations were made by the South Carolina State Board of Health and the South Carolina Public Service Authority on the severity of Malaria in the vicinity of the vast federal financed and state-owned and operated Santee-Cooper Project. The U.S. Public Health Service there-upon detailed a group of specialists from the Office of Malaria Control in lar Areas to make a comprehensive survey of the medical, entomological and engineering aspects of the situation, beginning about July 1944, in cooperation with officials of the State Beard of Health, and to prepare a joint report to be submitted to the Surgeon-General, and to the State Health Officer of South Carolina.
The Santee-Cooper Project consists of two large reservoirs on the coastal plain, approximately midway between Columbia and Charleston. A dam across the Santee liver and a system of dikes in adjacent low country together retain over l6O.,0OO acres of water surface, with over 650 miles of shoreline at the normal maximum pool-elevation of 75 feet above sea level. With some variation, depending on the Amount and distribution of rainfall, the overall summer recession lowers the water level from the 7 5 to the 65 foot elevation. Hydro-electric power has been developed by utilizing the fall of 40 feet between the Santee and the -Cooper Rivers, but the navigational and recreational aims of the development have not yet been fully realized.

History & Scriptural Origin of the Six Million Number – John "Birdman" Bryant
1st June 2017 by Red Johnson
"I do not believe that telling the truth about Jews — even the ugly truths — is something that 'promotes hatred' of Jews — at least not among intelligent people. If, for example, we point out that most Jews believe in and promote the Orthodox Jewish Version of the Holocaust, we are not claiming that they are evil any more than the many non-Jews who believe and promote the same story — we are only saying that they are misguided and need to be properly informed. This, of course, does not keep believers in the Orthodox Jewish Version — whether Jews or gentiles — from hating US when we point out its falsity, and indeed, this is what they often do; but that only means that the worst we could be accused of is that, in telling the truth, we promote hatred of OURSELVES." –JBR Yant
As everyone with an IQ above room temperature knows, six million is the number of Jews supposedly killed by the nazis in 'gas chambers' during WW2. As it happens, this is false, and not merely false, but a deliberate lie. The falsity of the claim has been so thoroughly proved by historical and forensic investigation as to barely deserve mention; but for those who are interested, copious discussion of virtually every aspect of this matter is found in the several collections of articles on the Holocaust posted on this website, particularly in the Articles of Others section under Jews. But the Six Million number, besides being wrong, is also a deliberate lie (or at least began that way), and this fact we shall prove in the present article. Beyond this, we shall show that the origin of this number is probably scriptural, and in fact was chosen as a way of seeming to fulfill a prophecy of the Jewish scriptures in order to justify the existence of Israel.
But there is more to the matter than this, because the Holocaust and its 'Six Million' victims has become the central organizing feature of Jewish life in the modern world, in which the Jews are depicted as the Eternal Victims, and where anyone who opposes Jews or the Jewish Establishment becomes identified as a vector of what has come to be regarded as the ultimate evil, 'antisemitism'. In fact, as many have pointed out, the Holocaust has actually become a sort of civil religion, in which heretics — those who dare to question any aspect of the Orthodox Jewish Version of the Holocaust — are either shunned as kooks and crazies, anathematized as 'antisemites', or else — as in most Western countries except America — simply sent to jail.
But this is still only half the story, because the Holocaust is not merely a religious dogma intended to weld the Jewish community together in much the same way that the old-time Judaic religion once did, but it is also a fabulous cash cow which has placed billions upon billions of guilt-money into the hands of both the Jewish Establishment and individual Jews. ("There's no business like Shoah [Holocaust] business" is a common saying among the Jewish set.) In particular, even 60 years after the end of WW2, the German government is still paying 'reparations' to Jews — this for a calamity that never happened to a state that did not exist at the time — and the United States, whose entry into WW2 sealed Germany's defeat, and whose highest legislative body has often been referred to as 'Israeli-occupied territory' — has been equally generous to the Jewish state, if not moreso. In short, therefore, the Holocaust lie has been both the spiritual and financial wellspring of modern Jewish power, and for this reason it is clear why the Jewish Establishment holds onto this lie with a tenacity bordering on insanity.
Our proof that the Holocaust is a deliberate lie consists of two parts: First, an explanation of how the Six Million number originated in Jewish scripture, and second, a citation of the two places prior to WW2 where the Jewish Establishment claimed that there were 'six million' Jewish victims. To these points will be added observations about several related matters, including (a) the many holocausts for which Jews themselves have been responsible, (b) how Jews themselves were responsible for the Holocaust, and (c) how various historical accounts of attacks on Jews have been wildly exaggerated by Jewish writers — in fact, exaggerated to the point of ludicrousness — all of which serve to establish that the leitmotif of 'Jews as Eternal Victims' is really a sort of bizarre comic opera of Wagnerian proportions that has gone on thruout Jewish history.
2. SCRIPTURAL ORIGINS OF THE SIX MILLION NUMBER
The following are two quotes from unpublished sources whose content I have tried — so far unsuccessfully — to have verified by rabbinical scholars. I suspect that their ultimate source is the book The Holocaust Dogma of Judaism by Ben Weintraub, which is discussed HERE. The meaning of the second quote is made clearer if one understands something about Gematria, the Kabbalistic practice of interpreting texts by associating words and numbers. This material by itself does not prove the scriptural origins of the Six Million, but in combination with the fact that the number was used in other places (see below), this seems to clinch the case.
[Quote 1] Jewish prophecies in the Torah require that 6 million Jews must "vanish" before the state of Israel can be formed. "You shall return minus 6 million." That's why Tom Segev, an Israeli historian, declared that the "6 million" is an attempt to transform the Holocaust story into state religion. Those six million, according to prophecy, had to disappear in "burning ovens", which the judicial version of the Holocaust now authenticates. As a matter of fact, Robert B. Goldmann writes: ". . . without the Holocaust, there would be no Jewish State." A simple consequence: Given six million Jews gassed at Auschwitz who ended up in the "burning ovens" (the Greek word holocaust means burned offerings), therefore, the prophecies have now been "fulfilled" and Israel can become a "legitimate state". –Unknown
[Quote 2] Regarding the 'six million' number you should know the following: In the Hebrew text of the Torah prophesies, one can read "you shall return". In the text the letter "V" or "VAU" is absent, as Hebrew does not have any numbers; the letter V stands for the number 6. Ben Weintraub, a religious scientist, learned from rabbis that the meaning of the missing letter means the number is '6 million'. The prophesy then reads: You will return, but with 6 million less. See Ben Weintraub: "The Holocaust Dogma of Judaism", Cosmo Publishing, Washington 1995, page 3. The missing 6 million must be so before the Jews can return to the Promised Land. Jahweh sees this as a cleaning of the souls of the sinful people. The Jews must, on the return to the Promised Land, be clean — the cleaning shall be done in burning stokes. –A Correspondent
3. EARLIER REFERENCES TO 'SIX MILLION'
A. On page 482 of the article on 'Antisemitism' in the the 10th Edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica (1902) is found the words: "While there are in Russia and Rumania six millions of Jews who are being systematically degraded…". As the reader can see, these words appear in the last paragraph of the left hand column of the image reproduced HERE (takes a while for this file to come up). This reference preceeds references to the Six Million of WW2 by approximately 40 years.
B. In the American Hebrew Magazine of October 31, 1919, there appeared an article entitled "The Crucifixion of Jews Must Stop!" By Martin H Glynn, former governor of the state of New York. This article begins, "From across the sea, six million men and women call to us for help …". The article was published approximately 20 years before the outbreak of WW2. An image of the complete article is HERE.
4. EARLIER EXAGGERATIONS OF THE NUMBERS OF JEWISH VICTIMS BY JEWISH WRITERS
In his book The Hoax of the Twentieth Century, Prof Arthur Butz cites several victimological exaggerations of Jewish scholars. An article with this material is found HERE.
5. HOLOCAUSTS CAUSED BY JEWS
On my website there is an entire subsction of the section on Jews in Articles of Others devoted to Holocausts Caused By Jews. This is more than simply ironic, because it is a psychological fact that those who make accusations are often guilty of the very crimes of which they accuse others. Perhaps the mechanism at work here is that the accuser is attempting to make himself seem less guilty in the eyes of others; or perhaps he is trying to place on others the blame for his own crimes; but whatever is happening in the case of Jews, it is clear from the historical record that they carry a considerable burden of guilt.
6: THANK ZIONISM FOR THE HOLOCAUST
Many commentators have noted that antisemitism does not exist in a vacuum, but instead is a result of the behavior of Jews themselves. This is reinforced by the fact that, at one time or another, Jews have been expelled from virtually every western city, country, state and principality. This, then, suggests strongly — without consideration of any other historical facts — that Jews themselves were responsible for the Holocaust. This theme has been elaborated upon by Canadian Jewish Professor Henry Makow, who has argued that the Zionists — that great cheerleading squad for the promotion of Israel — were themselves responsible for the Holocaust. Makow's article is HERE (to make the type visible, do an Edit/Select All in Internet Explorer).
From the above considerations, the conclusion is obvious: While the Jewish Establishment spends millions and billions of dollars promoting the Orthodox Jewish Version of the Holocaust, the ugly fact is that the Holocaust story is a lie used to promote Jewish interests and pick gentile pockets, and to cover up the fact that — far from being Eternal Victims — the Jews are actually ETERNAL VICTIMIZERS.
Appendix: Birdman Corresponds With Michael K on the
6 Million Number
Birdman writes (excerpt):
Now this is the deal: The 'six million' number came from SOMEWHERE. The big question is where. Furthermore, it comes from some AUTHORITY, because it was used THREE SEPARATE TIMES IN MAJOR EXPRESSIONS OF JEWISH ESTABLISHMENT THOUGHT — 1902, 1919 and 194x. That means that the chances are very good that it is scriptural, possibly kabbalistic. We have confirmation of this theory with Weintraub [The Holocaust Dogma of Judaism: Keystone of the New World Order by Ben Weintraub], however strange he may be. Since you know Hebrew, and since you have contacts among Jews, you are in a position to investigate this. You just might be able to uncover the Story of the Century if you could crack this nut. Rabbis that wouldn't talk to me might be willing to talk to you, particularly if they see you as a fellow Jew. I have already asked several rabbis for comment, but have either been ignored or have received denials.
michael responds [intervening correspondence was omitted as irrelevant]:
ok, i've made some good progress with the weintraub book.
first you should know that weintraub is a pseudo nym for the real author.
second pp.5-6 entitled "Secrets of Rabbi Benjamin Blech" have the important information. the verse with missing VaW appears in Leviticus 25:10:
é åÀ÷ÄãÌÇùÑÀúÌÆí, àÅú ùÑÀðÇú äÇçÂîÄùÌÑÄéí ùÑÈðÈä, åÌ÷ÀøÈàúÆí ãÌÀøåÉø áÌÈàÈøÆõ, ìÀëÈì-éÉùÑÀáÆéäÈ; éåÉáÅì äÄåà, úÌÄäÀéÆä ìÈëÆí, åÀùÑÇáÀúÌÆí àÄéùÑ àÆì-àÂçËæÌÈúåÉ, åÀàÄéùÑ àÆì-îÄùÑÀôÌÇçÀúÌåÉ úÌÈùÑËáåÌ. 10 And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout the land unto all the inhabitants thereof; it shall be a jubilee unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family. úÌÈùÑËåÌáåÌ.
The relevant word is the last word in the verse. I have enlarged it to explain exactly the analysis.
The four green Hebrew letters spell the word: úÌÈùÑËáåÌ TaSHuVu
The dots form the vowels. The three slanted dots under the ùÑË are pronounced oo. (Normally this sound would be formed by another Hebrew letter Vaw, as in the last letter of the word: åÌ). The missing VaW appears in red as: åÌ this is what a certain Rabbi Benjamin Blech calls the missing Vaw.
[His book, The Secrets of Hebrew Words, appears at the following amazon site: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1568219180/qid=1135492288/sr=1-2/ref=sr_1_2/103-5695691-3891846?s=books&v=glance&n=283155]
He wants to then say that, since the gematria value of the missing VaW is 6, and since the verse in Leviticus 25:10 is speaking about the Jubilee return of men to their possessions, an idea that is considered messianic in both Jewish and Christian theology, then there is a subtle allusion of the idea of some value of 6 Jews "missing" in the return of the Jews to their ancient nation of Israel. This is called an asmachta, or general allusion, to an existing reality. In other words, since they believe the holocaust number of 6 million to be true, they then see in this verse in Leviticus an asmachta or allusion to this in the missing VaW, which must mean a missing 6 million Jews.
[Birdman replies:]
OK, then let me lay out again my concerns to you about why I think more work needs to be done on the matter, and you tell me what you think:
First, while we may have identified a number beginning with 6, we haven't definitely nailed down that it is 6 mil. It could be any number of Jews between the total world population and any number of Jews that haven't yet been 'eliminated'. This could be 6,000, 60,000 or 600,000 rather than 6 mil. Furthermore, the 6 mil number was mentioned twice BEFORE the Holocaust, so it is clear that the 6 mil number was an outside belief imposed on the Holocaust story, and had no relation to what happened in the Holocaust itself. Indeed, if rabbinical scholars were looking for a '6' number that actually had some relation to the Holocaust, 600,000 would have been a lot closer. That, of course, would be the number who DIED, not the number KILLED.
That then means that we are left with the task of identifying WHY some Establishment Jews latched onto 6 mil, how they were able to make this number an icon among all Jews, and who they were.
Furthermore, if we assume that the reason for the number (in all three usages) was ultimately to legitimize Israel, what seems to have happened is that some small group of Jewish scholars was trying to hoodwink a larger group of Jewish scholars who would then have their concerns about the legitimacy of Israel removed. But the information about this hoodwinking has so far not been forthcoming. We need this for a full explanation. It is notable that the first appearance we have so far found of the 6 mil number is in 1902, which was just shortly after the Basel Zionist conference (1898?), the proceedings of which the Protocols are said by some to represent.
In short, there is a lot of info missing from the story, including definitely nailing down the 6 mil number, and the only way I see to get it is to consult with rabbis: My guess is that someone may wish to make a clean breast of it, particularly among the rabbis who were hoodwinked, now that we have come this far in figuring out the fraud. The only person I see capable of that is you. If you grab the opportunity, you could become famous. Or maybe just satisfied that you did your duty.
[michael responds:]
look, you're right about the VaW implying any possible multiple of six. why they insist on 6 million is a good question. why do they have an a priori assumption of 6 million? i dont know. but i can tell you that the head of the yad vashem israeli holocaust museum (the mother of all such museums) is named yehuda bauer, which apparently is the same surname as the rothschilds. so maybe the 6 million number is an illuminati concoction. it would be much more fruitful, in my opinion, to ask illuminists than rabbis. the rabbis wont be able to answer this for you.
another interesting point is that if the number of jewish dead in wwII is really 600,000, this would have great theological significance, because there were 600,000 adult males that left egypt under moses, and in kabala it is accepted that there are 600,000 primary jewish souls. so even to kabalists 600,000 should be much more significant than 6 million and could be the symbolism of the missing VaW.

Can Latino Diners Boost Red Lobster?
Red Lobster is hoping that a new push to cater to Latinos will translate into profits and help save the struggling business.
The seafood chain recently launched a $3 million Spanish language TV ad campaign in the restaurant's first effort to reach Latinos. According to a recent article in Businessweek, the ads will air on Telemundo, Univision, ESPN Deportes, and other Spanish language channels through March.
Red Lobster has about 700 stores and says around 10 percent of its customers are Latino, a similar percentage to the rest of the casual dining industry. Latinos represents 16 percent of the U.S. population, and that figure is expected to grow to 30 percent by 2050. Red Lobster hopes to cash in on that growth trend. Red Lobster has been facing slow profits. It had 729 restaurants in 1996, 654 in 2000 and 704 in 2012. Last year the chain began a new menu with cheaper items including more chicken and beef.
Research shows more than half of Latinos prefer to have advertising in Spanish, says Stewart Marquina, the chain's director brand management. "If you grew up in a country where Red Lobster was not there, and you come here and it's not advertised on Spanish language television that's a disadvantage," he said.

Q: Formatting timers without losing accuracy? I have an array of start/stop times. I basically want to display the time it took for each entry, as well as the total time for all of them. Here is the code I wrote to try to do that:

function timeFormatter (milliseconds) {
  const padZero = (time) => `0${time}`.slice(-2);

  const minutes = padZero(milliseconds / 60000 | 0);
  const seconds = padZero((milliseconds / 1000 | 0) % 60);
  const centiseconds = padZero((milliseconds / 10 | 0) % 100);

  return `${minutes} : ${seconds} . ${centiseconds}`;
}

// Example stopwatch times
const timeIntervals = [
  { startTime: 1470679294008, stopTime: 1470679300609 },
  { startTime: 1470679306278, stopTime: 1470679314647 },
  { startTime: 1470679319718, stopTime: 1470679326693 },
  { startTime: 1470679331229, stopTime: 1470679336420 }
];

// Calculate time it took for each entry
const times = timeIntervals.map(time => time.stopTime - time.startTime);

// Run the timeFormatter on each individual time
const individualTimes = times.map(timeFormatter);

// Run the timeFormatter on the sum of all the times
const mainTimer = timeFormatter(times.reduce((a, b) => a + b));

/**
     * [
     *   '00 : 06 . 60',
     *   '00 : 08 . 36',
     *   '00 : 06 . 97',
     *   '00 : 05 . 19'
     * ]
     */
console.log(individualTimes);

/**
     * 00 : 27 . 13
     */
console.log(mainTimer);

However, I am losing accuracy. As you can see, the individual times don't add up to the mainTimer value. It is always off by .01 - .03 no matter what the times are.
Is there a way I can make sure that the times only display two places, but still add up correctly? Any help would be appreciated.
I also have this on a JSFiddle where it's easier to run.

EDIT: The current answer did work for the case I provided above, but it does not work for all cases like this one.

A: Problem
You are losing accuracy with each display of the rounded time.
The more laps you have, the bigger the issue can be:
╔══════╦════════════════════════════════╗
║ Lap  ║         Total time (ms)        ║
║ Time ╠═══════╦═════════════╦══════════╣
║ (ms) ║    JS ║  Real World ║  Display ║
╠══════╬═══════╬═════════════╬══════════╣
║ 3157 ║  3157 ║  3157.5±0.5 ║  3160±5  ║
║ 2639 ║  5796 ║  5797.0±1   ║  5800±10 ║
║ 3287 ║  9083 ║  9084.5±1.5 ║  9090±15 ║
║ 3106 ║ 12189 ║ 12191.0±2   ║ 12200±20 ║
╚══════╩═══════╩═════════════╩══════════╝

The different totals actually overlap each other, once you take the tolerance into account:

*

*JS time = 12189

*Actual time = 12189 to 12193

*Displayed time = 12180 to 12240

In other words, by adding up the displayed time, the lost in displayed accuracy is also added.
Failing to account for this lost by the human is the real problem.
Solutions

*

*Increase the displayed precision (if you don't round numbers, you won't lost anything)

*Use the displayed sum which is less accurate, but not incorrect if you also state the tolerance (±).

*Detect the issue and display a message.

Here is a demo of solution 3.

function run ( set ) {
   show ( set === 0
      ? // Good set
        [ { startTime: 1470679294008, stopTime: 1470679300609 },
          { startTime: 1470679306278, stopTime: 1470679314647 },
          { startTime: 1470679319718, stopTime: 1470679326693 },
          { startTime: 1470679331229, stopTime: 1470679336420 } ]
      : // Bad set
        [ { startTime: 1472104779284,  stopTime: 1472104782441 },
          { startTime: 1472104782442,  stopTime: 1472104785081 },
          { startTime: 1472104785081,  stopTime: 1472104788368 },
          { startTime: 1472104788369,  stopTime: 1472104791475 }, ] );
}

function show ( timeIntervals ) {
   const sum = (a, b) => a + b;

   const roundTime = (ms) => Math.round(ms/10);

   function timeFormatter (centi) {
     const padZero = (time) => `0${~~time}`.slice(-2);

     const minutes = padZero(centi / 6000);
     const seconds = padZero((centi / 100) % 60);
     const centiseconds = padZero(centi % 100);

     return `${minutes} : ${seconds} . ${centiseconds} `;
   }

   // Calculate time it took for each entry.
   const times = timeIntervals.map(time => time.stopTime - time.startTime);

   // Rou and run the timeFormatter on each individual time
   const roundedTimes = times.map(roundTime);
   const individualTimes = roundedTimes.map(timeFormatter);
   // Calculate sum of displayed time
   const displayedSum = roundedTimes.reduce(sum);

   // Sum time and run timeFormatter
   const totalTime = roundTime( times.reduce(sum) );
   const mainTimer = timeFormatter(totalTime);

   let html = '

' + individualTimes.join('
') + '
Sum: ' + mainTimer;
   // Show warning if sum of rounded time is different.
   if ( displayedSum !== totalTime )
      html += ' (Rounding error corrected)';

   document.querySelector('div').innerHTML = html;
}

run(1);
<button onclick='run(0)'>Perfect</button>
<button onclick='run(1)'>Opps</button>

Or just live with it
All timers, even physical ones, must live with this rounding problem.
Have you seen any timer that make such a disclaimer?
For a timer, showing a more accurate total time is certainly more correct even if it is inconsistent.

If you paid attention, you should see / realise that javascript time also has this accuracy lost relative to real time.
  There is also a bigger problem:
  Date.time is synced with clock so it is unstable.
  Given your sample lap ranges of a few seconds, you may even get negative lap.
Using a different timer designed for timing purpose, Performance.now, can minimize errors and solve the time bending magic.

A: It is not possible to achieve what you want. You basically expect to get the same result when you round two numbers and add them, and when you first add the numbers and then round them.
Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way. For example, Math.round(0.4) + Math.round(0.4) gives 0, but Math.round(0.4 + 0.4) gives 1.
The only way to make the numbers add up correctly is to display three decimal places.

You could have a little more accurate results using the solution from the (now deleted) answer by Gerardo Furtado – that is, to use Math.round() to round the number, instead of cutting of the third digit, but that still wouldn't work in some cases.

A: The issue your having is because your dropping precision by only going to centiseconds when you format the time.  The way you first had it (without Math.round()) essentially does Math.floor by just trimming the last character off.  So either way you're loosing precision. If you want to display only down to centiseconds and you want the math that the user sees to work, you could do the addition on the formatted amounts instead of the raw amounts like so:
// this just does the work of adding up the individuals after they've been formatted
const individualAdder = timeFormatter(individualTimes.reduce((total, time) => {
    return total + parseFloat(time.replace(/[^0-9]/g, ""));
}, 0) * 10);

/**
 * 00 : 27 . 12
 */
console.log(individualAdder);

You could also display individual times at full millisecond accuracy, depending on your desired experience.

A: Your solution cropped the last significant digit.

function timeFormatter (milliseconds) {
  const padZero = (time) => `0${time}`.slice(-2);

  const minutes = padZero(milliseconds / 60000 | 0);
  const seconds = padZero((milliseconds / 1000 | 0) % 60);
  const centiseconds = `00${milliseconds % 1000}`.slice(-3);  //changed

  return `${minutes} : ${seconds} . ${centiseconds}`;
}

// Example stopwatch times
const timeIntervals = [
  { startTime: 1470679294008, stopTime: 1470679300609 },
  { startTime: 1470679306278, stopTime: 1470679314647 },
  { startTime: 1470679319718, stopTime: 1470679326693 },
  { startTime: 1470679331229, stopTime: 1470679336420 }
];
// Calculate time it took for each entry
const times = timeIntervals.map(time => time.stopTime - time.startTime);

// Run the timeFormatter on each individual time
const individualTimes = times.map(timeFormatter);

// Run the timeFormatter on the sum of all the times
const mainTimer = timeFormatter(times.reduce((a, b) => a + b));

/**
     * [
     *   '00 : 06 . 601',
     *   '00 : 08 . 369',
     *   '00 : 06 . 975',
     *   '00 : 05 . 191'
     * ]
     */
console.log(individualTimes);

/**
     * 00 : 27 . 136
     */
console.log(mainTimer);

As a home schooling family we are always on the look out for opportunities and experiences. To that end we participate in a secular home school group in our area. It's a neat setup, we rent an old catholic school building from the non-profit which currently owns it. We meet once a week for classes in the Spring and the Fall for 10 weeks. It's neat because each kid gets a schedule and moves themselves from one class to the next, even the youngest! Lots of different things are taught and it's 100% volunteer. Because my degrees are in English I often teach writing and composition, sometimes a lit course. I also enjoy teaching craft classes related to history. So one semester we did Roman crafts, and everything was Romanesque, like mosaics, clay pots, togas, jewelry etc and I read myths out loud while the kids worked. It's a nice way to learn. Ranger took dissection taught by a homeschooling physician, and we've had anthropologists, computer scientists, actors, artists, and so much more. So it seemed like a natural fit to include my love of National Parks as a course.
I decided that I would review the available online booklets that did not require a park visit. You can find them all here, https://www.nps.gov/kids/jrRangers.cfm . After reviewing some of the online books I realized that the beautiful full color booklets are hard to print in gray scale. So I began emailing the parks. Of course every Ranger I spoke with was amazing and they sent me plenty of books for my class! Some even sent the badges so I wouldn't have to return them. Absolutely amazing, there is so much information in them. The benefit in doing these at home books is that all the information is inside the book, so you aren't inhibited by not being able to tour the park.
Eclipse Explorer was the first book we got, and I received it by emailing through the NPS site. It was complete with Eclipse glasses, and they arrived before the Eclipse so I was able to distribute them to my students before our class even started. This was great since most places were sold out of glasses in our area. This book was great, my 6 year old completed it as well as my 8 year old and both managed to get through it. The terminology helped and added depth to the Eclipse. I learned a couple things that I didn't know.
The Centennial Book took me all summer to collect. Since it was printed for the 2016 centennial I asked at EVERY Park we visited and was rewarded with a book here and there. My own children had already completed it so I needed one less because Ranger chose to take my class. The final booklets I received by mail from Johnstown Flood NM when I called them about another booklet. They had books but no badges, so they sent them out to me. I love this book because it gives a great history of the park system and a broad overview, harder for my at the time 5 year old, but my 7 year old made it through with no problems. We mailed these in and are still waiting for them to come back for my class, I hope they didn't run out of badges!
Bats is a small paper booklet. They sent me a color copy and I made black and white copies, but it was hard to see the cave pictures. We managed to work through the entire thing in class. Solid information on echolocation, white nose and bats in general. Short enough to work through with 15 kids in an hour. Lots of reading, but at home Ranger coached Lemon through it and she was able to complete it too. We mailed this back and it was returned quickly! Unfortunately there was no Bat badge, but they sent us the Hot Springs National Park badge, which is the park that created it. They also sent us certificates and the Ranger was called Nolen, he left a post it note on my student Nolan's certificate about sharing a name, which made him smile broadly! Ranger Nolen also sent each child a set of the Hot Spring Civil War to Civil Rights trading cards which was a program designed for the 150th of Gettysburg. Most places no longer have them so it was a coup for me, and I only have a few, my students laughed at my giddiness. This book also dovetailed nicely with the next book.
Historic Preservation is a great book, and printable because it is not a full color book. This was one of the last books I collected and I called Johnstown Flood for it, because that is where my kids did it. The books are so nice to have so I am glad I was able to get it. This is a great book that follows the legislation regarding preservation and National parks and touches on many prominent figures who are important to the cause. Lots on Roosevelt and Mesa Verde, but plenty on lower profile figures like Sequoyh, G. Carter Woodson, and Lady Bird Johnson. This is well done for all ages, the activities are simple enough that they can be answered with a single word, but you can expect your older children to write nice paragraphs. We were also able to almost completely finish this book in our hour of class time. This book also features a nice page of instructions for completing the Web Ranger program online, which is another great resource for those home school days where you need more depth in a unit OR need to plunk them in front of a screen for everyone's sanity!
We've been doing the same thing. 🙂 Just as a family.
Isn't it amazing?! I love it so much. My students have so much fun. My daughter didn't want to take my class so we do hers at home with varying levels of success.

Close-reading the Final Report: zoning variances
By Jared Brey
The Zoning Code Commission officially adopted its Final Report a few weeks back, and Councilman Frank DiCicco recently introduced a bill to City Council which would replace the city's current code with that report. Pending any further amendments by Council, Philadelphia appears to be on the brink of adopting a new zoning code. If Council passes DiCicco's bill by the end of the year, the ZCC's Final Report will become law in August 2012, after an 8-month interim period.
The merits of the Final Report as compared to the current code can be debated, but one stark improvement is the way the report clarifies and organizes information. Eighteen sections have been reduced to ten, 642 pages condensed to 402, and a monstrous section entitled "Miscellaneous" that contains provisions affecting the function of the entire code has been removed. We're not suggesting that to read the Final Report is to take a walk in a Parks and Open Spaces District on a fine spring day—it's still legislation—but comparatively, it just makes more sense.
The report accomplishes this improved sense-making not only through condensing and reorganizing, but also by visualizing information wherever possible. Many of the legal development processes described in §14-300 ("Administration and Procedures") are accompanied by simple graphs. For example, the provision on zoning variances, §14-303(8), includes all the necessary legal detail along with a chart showing exactly how the procedure works. The Final Report further clarifies zoning variances by defining them, something the current Code doesn't explicitly do.
A variance—"A relief from the provisions of this Zoning Code that allows use or development of a lot outside the zoning provisions applicable to that lot"—works like this:
A builder files an application to use or expand a building in a way that is not permitted in the zoning code.
The Department of Licenses and Inspections denies that application.
The applicant appeals L&I's decision to the Zoning Board of Adjustment.
The Philadelphia City Planning Commission reviews the application, and makes a recommendation to the ZBA about whether it meets the general criteria for granting a variance.
The applicant provides notice to any Registered Community Organizations in the vicinity of the proposed variance, and holds a meeting with them.
The ZBA provides public notice of a hearing to be held on the variance.
The ZBA grants the variance, denies it, or approves it with conditions.
Just as in the case of zoning bills before City Council, the Planning Commission's role is advisory, and its recommendations have no legal power in granting or denying a variance. The only agencies given authority by the zoning code are the ZBA and L&I.
The provisions describing the process of applying for a variance are followed by a long list of criteria that must be met in order for the ZBA to approve the variance. These criteria essentially mirror those listed in the current Code, though some have been combined into the same subsections. Generally, they serve to keep variances as insignificant as possible and to prevent them from adversely affecting surrounding properties and public space. The ZBA has the authority to grant "a lesser variance than requested."
In addition to the current Code, the Final Report can also be compared to the Preliminary Report, the earlier draft of the new zoning code, issued by the ZCC in May. That report contained one criteria for variance approval that has been removed from the new version: "That the use variance, if authorized, will represent the minimum variance that will afford relief and will represent the least modification possible of the regulation in issue."
The Final Report also contains a single-sentence addition which wasn't included in the first report: "If the Zoning Board chooses to view the subject property as part of the hearing, the Zoning Board must provide due process." In fact, the entire provision on zoning variances that appeared in the Preliminary Report was stricken and replaced with new language in the Final Report. Substantively, however, the differences are few.
In theory, clarifying the language of the zoning code will do more than simply make it easier to comprehend. One of the goals of the zoning reform project was to craft a code that would minimize the number of variances and appeals to be considered by the ZBA. Deputy Mayor Alan Greenberger has been fond of pointing out that Philadelphia has more cases before its zoning board annually than New York, a city with more than four times our population. Clarifying the zoning code and, in turn, the development process, should reduce the amount of relief from zoning laws property owners will need to seek.
From the time the Zoning Code Commission was created, all its efforts were aimed at making the zoning rules for the City of Philadelphia as understandable, predictable, and city-wide as possible. In language and relative length, the Final Report succeeds in doing that. But toward the end of the reform process, some of the Commission's foundational goals were set aside under growing—and not necessarily unjustified—pressure from some neighborhood groups, City Council members, and other stakeholders. One major example: many ZCC members originally wanted to wipe the code clean of overlays, sections that provide different rules for different parts of the City. Overlays, some felt, compromise the predictability of the development process. But by the time the Final Report was adopted, overlay controls for a number of districts—Germantown and Northern Liberties are two big ones—had been added back in.
So the Final Report is easier to read, and will likely be easier for developers to navigate. But whether it will have the desired effect of reducing ZBA hearings in a city where builders have become accustomed to using variances to get around the rules—we'll have to wait at least eight months to see.

It can be difficult to tell the common cold from the flu or allergies. For you, the sufferer, the destination is often the same: the living room sofa. Sore throats, aches, and a nose that's suddenly a long-distance runner – the symptoms of all can overlap. So how do you know what you have? And, importantly, how long will you have it?
A cold is caused by a virus. It's transmitted through air droplets released when an infected person sneezes or coughs. It's very contagious – you can get it if a sick person coughs on you, sneezes on you, or if you touch a contaminated surface (such as a bathroom faucet). Do you have children? That'll do it, too!
Colds are very common – we have them more than any other illness. Though they are most likely to occur in winter and fall, they can happen any time of year. They tend to last up to two weeks and have an onset that's gradual – you may have a scratchy throat at first and build from there. Symptoms include a runny nose, a sore throat, and cough. Over the counter medicines can help control these, but colds must run their course. Rest and fluids help, as well.
The flu is like the cold's more dangerous uncle – the one that's been in prison for stealing cars. You get the flu the same way you catch a cold (exposure to a virus), but the symptoms are different. They're much more abrupt and intense. They also include high fevers, headaches, body aches, cough, chest discomfort, and fatigue.
The flu is a virus, which means antibiotics won't fight it. Instead, like the common cold, the flu requires time before you're back to normal. Typically, symptoms last for a week or two. Rest, fluids, over the counter medication, and even anti-virals may help.
The flu can be deadly in anyone, but people who are very young, very old, or who already have a compromised immune system are at higher risk of serious complications. Getting a flu shot can prevent the likelihood of getting the virus, but it doesn't eliminate it entirely.
Unlike colds and flus, allergies are not caused by contagions – they are not virus-based and you cannot "give" your allergy to someone else (nope, not even your mother-in-law). Allergies are caused by allergens (such as grass or pollen). When those allergens are in the air, the symptoms of allergies appear, which include watery eyes and a stuffy, runny nose. Wheezing is prevalent, as well, particularly in people who are asthmatics. The symptoms last as long as the exposure to the allergen. Some people can control for this – if you're allergic to cats, for instance, you stay away from pet stores – while others can't. Antihistamines, decongestants, and nasal steroids help control the symptoms and allergy shots may prevent them altogether.
The common cold, the flu, and allergies are not the same, but they affect your nose in a similar fashion – they stuff it up and make it run. Nasal rinsing works for all maladies by clearing out your nasal passages, restoring the natural environment, and warding off allergens and viruses.
ResQRinse is a new nasal rinsing system that uses choanal occlusion, a process that eliminates the negative side effects of other devices. ResQRinse helps manage nasal symptoms by delivering saline rinse directly through the nasal cavity. To learn more about the wonders it can do for your nose, please check out these informative videos.
