701.To unify all thoughts and all beliefs into the Greatest Creator's will and all religions into one uniform belief system; the whole world will be one family; a stateless world will be in great harmony.THIS is the main theme of the New Era.
703. The world should move toward unification and becoming a global community; it is best to strengthen the role and function of the United Nations continuously for it to eventually become the global government.
704. Every citizen on earth should regard themselves as citizens of the entire earth, not merely of a region or country.
705. The Earth belongs to its citizens; they have the right to migrate and move freely throughout it.
706. Heaven will become clear and bright when all is unified, the earth will become peaceful, deities will be effective, grain will be abundant; all things thrive when unified and saints' ideas become universal when they pursue the uniform truth. The whole of mankind can have only one government, one belief, one order, and one pattern; we can only have one goal, one wish, one path to build, and one road to follow all through our lives, otherwise we will not be able to realize true clarity, peace, effectiveness, and prosperity. Excess breeds confusion and heterogeneity causes irritation; this is history. Only if "all thoughts and beliefs are unified into the Greatest Creator's will", and "all religions are unified into one uniform belief system", can uniformity be realized. Only if uniformity is realized, can we enjoy harmony, peace, auspiciousness, good weather, and happy, joyful, free, and blessed lives.
707. Unmarried people should be elected as leaders in all regions. Unmarried people are more selfless and open-minded; less tied and troubled than those who are married and have families. In a word, unmarried leaders are better than married ones with familial relations and are more in line with the interests of the general public.
708. Localism and nationalism are symbols of barbarism and fatuity. No affairs on earth belong to any particular nation or local adherents. Rather, they belong to the whole of humanity. The administrations of every region should be exercised not by the people chosen from among the locals or from among a local nation but by the most outstanding talents selected from the whole of humanity. It is only if the talented are entrusted with important missions that the whole world can be united as a single family and the toiling multitudes can obtain freedom and happiness.
709. All affairs are of concern to all people. Everyone has the power endowed by their creator to condemn and intervene in the affairs of all countries, all political parties, all religions, all nationalities, and all organizations everywhere in the world.
710. The first universal core value is the belief in the Greatest Creator; the cornerstone of all universal values. Faith has nothing to do with religion.
711. On the first day of 2018, mankind entered the New Era, namely, the Lifechanyuan Era. The symbol of this is that we have prepared a huge theoretical system for mankind to enter the New Era; we have resolved everything in practice. At the same time, the international family has come into being on a legal level. In addition, the number of single people who are unwilling to marry has increased worldwide, the divorce rate has risen dramatically, and travel visas between countries are becoming more and more convenient. All these are significant indicators that the world has entered the New Era.
712. Objective things will not be transformed by man's free will; mountains cannot stop Spring from coming. When the earth is frozen, everything looks solid and strong, but when the spring wind blows, snow and ice melt and all the grasses become lively. Families, states, political parties, and religions seem very strong, but will inevitably collapse when the flavor of the New Era comes. Nothing is indestructible.
713. New Era people will not be managed by laws or be ruled by people, but will rather be ruled in compliance with Tao, the core of which is taking the way of the Greatest Creator. The core of the Greatest Creator's way is the way of nature, and the core of nature's way is the harmonious coexistence between people with people, people with society, and people with nature.
714. The way for people to get along with each other is to make each other happy, joyful, free, and blessed.
715. The way for people to get along with society is "the talented will be put to good use, and the whole world will be one family" and "no one will pocket anything found on the ground, and doors are not bolted at night"; share bliss while shoulder misfortune together and coordinate globally to share resources.
716. The way for people to get along with nature is to keep the mountains green, the water clean, the sky blue, the mountains and rivers beautiful, the soil rich, the fish and shrimp abundant, and to protect wild animals from harm, poultry and livestock from abuse, with singing birds and fragrant flowers everywhere, and always favorable weather.
717. In the New Era, the funeral and interment system of Lifechanyuan is implemented: the body is cremated and the ashes are scattered across rivers, lakes, seas, green mountains, and fields, which dispenses with the building of tombs, the keeping of ashes, the establishment of memorials, and all marks and traces.
718. In the New Era, no one celebrates birthdays, but only natural festivals such as Spring Festival, Qingming Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, and Water-splashing Festival; no celebrations or festivals related to gods, Buddhas, fairies, people, states, political parties, religions, or the military, including Christmas Day, Buddha's Birthday, and so on.
719. In the New Era, people no longer exchange gifts or hold celebrations for relocation, promotions, birthdays, or other affairs for which gifts have traditionally been exchanged.
720. In the New Era, churches, Buddhist temples, mosques, and Taoist temples, are no longer built.
721. In the New Era, the interests of all humankind are above those of the local and of the individual. Personal and local interests should be subjected to the interests of all humankind.
722. Let the talented bring their genius into full play and make the best use of everything; let everyone work and have shelter.
723. Sages manage affairs without action and preach doctrine without words.
724. Exalt not the wise so that people shall not scheme and contend.
725. Prize not rare objects so that people shall not steal.
726. Shut out of site things of desire so that people's hearts shall not be disturbed.
727. Banish wisdom, discard knowledge; banish humanity, discard justice; banish cunning, discard utility.
728. Tao's principles operate naturally. Renounce all ethical sermons.
729. Accomplish but claim no credit.
732. By the existence of things, we profit; by the non-existence of things, we are served.
733. Those who value the world as themselves may then be entrusted with the government of the world; those who love the world as themselves may then be entrusted to care for the world.
737. The Sage eschews excess, eschews extravagance, eschews pride.
738. Those of superior virtue are not conscious of their virtue; hence, they attain it.
Those of inferior virtue are intent on not losing their virtue; hence, they are devoid of it.
Courtesy mainly refers to rules, laws, and regulations.
740. There is no greater curse than the lack of contentment and no greater sin than the desire for possession.
when governments are efficient and smart, their people are discontented.
Good fortune lies within Bad, Bad fortune lurks within good.
742. The Tao of heaven blesses but does not harm; the Way of the Sage accomplishes but does not contend.
Before you can cultivate your body, you first must calm your mind and be free from worry, persistence, delusion, lust, greed, and indulgence. Settle your inner spirit down while keeping your desire out.
Meat-eaters have thick auras, plant-eaters have clean auras, grain-eaters are wise, and qi-eaters are invigorated.
745. How do things affect qi?
746. Eat sparingly, sleep regularly, do not overwork or overuse your mind or body. Those who fear and think will harm their spirits, but those who are happy and joyous will not preserve theirs; those who are sorrowful will block their flow of qi; Those who are angry will be confused but will not be cured; those who are scared will not restrain and quiet their spirits.
747. Keeping calm and indifferent to fame and gain will prevent misery from approaching and evil from invading, strengthening your bones and muscles will keep your body healthy, reducing your cravings will preserve your spiritual health, and talking less will maintain your blessings sufficiently. Guard your eyes from improper sights, your ears from improper words, your nose from foul odors, your mouth from strong flavors and poison, and your mind from considering deceptive actions.
748. When you love someone, do not love them too much; when you hate someone, do not hate them too much. Keep fewer thoughts in your mind, fewer words in your mouth, less food in your stomach, and get less sleep at night. Excessive sleep makes your spirit dizzy, frequent drunkenness makes your qi scatter, excessive sweating hurts the blood, and exhaustion of strength damages the body. Moving continuously without resting disturbs your qi and frightens your spirit. Ascending to extreme heights causes serious shocks.
749. Remain undisturbed whether granted favour or subjected to humiliation, and your liver will be peaceful; Keep deferential and grateful whether in stillness or motion, and your heart will be calm; eat sparingly, and your spleen will not leak; practice pranayama and less speech, and your lungs will be sound; stay indifferent and do not crave, and your kidneys will be sufficient. Eat before you are hungry, but stop before you are full. Overeating hurts the spleen and stomach, and excessive thirst hurts the blood and the qi. Eat not to dullness in hunger and drink not to elevation in thirst to avoid food expansion and hurting your heart and lungs. Prevent the wind from blowing against your back, for no one enjoys longevity when the back of their head is constantly blown upon.
750. Anger weakens your qi, and illnesses will invade when your qi is weak; thoughts damage your spirit, and your heart is prone to uneasiness when your spirit is tied. Avoid extremes of joy and sorrow, eat a balanced diet, do not get drunk at night, and most importantly, never get upset in the morning. Do not see, hear, speak, or think about evil or improperness. Purify your heart and restrict your desire, stay indifferent to fame and gain, empty your brain, and then attain quietness in motion. Let your heart be at ease and your kidneys at rest, and lead a restful life.
(8)Look without seeing, and your mind will remain innocent; then your spirit will guard your body and give you longevity.
753. Those who revere and respect LIFE do not harm their bodies by over-supporting themselves with wealth and rank, do not exhaust their bodies to rise above poverty and low status, can shake off their desires, and can feel calm, purify their minds, and clean their spirits. Foresight, retentive memories, worry, sorrow, sadness, fear, anger, puzzlement, anxiety over what has been wished, and disharmony between Yin and Yang all hurt people.
755. Your pillow must be neither too high nor too low; too high causes the liver to shrink, but too low causes the lungs to shrink.
Lustful people cause their own bodies to leak.
One with full spirit does not want sleep; one with full qi does not want food; one with full essence does not want lust.
756. The taboo of a day is stuffing oneself; the taboo of a month is getting drunk; the taboo of a year is excessive work and rage; the the taboos of a lifetime are being bullied in the early morning, observing only your faith, keeping peace, not being thoughtful, and scheming. Sadness causes streams of tears, bitterness causes the nose to run, anger generates goitre, rage causes deep-rooted ulcers, your heart desires what your qi reaches, and you can generate everything. Great people restrain their grief and bitterness and refrain from anger.
757. Lack of physical bonding between sexual partners, Yin and Yang, causes diseases to form due to blood stasis and qi stagnation. Therefore, those who remain celibate and abstinent are prone to be sickly and short-lived, while excessive indulgence in lust will damage their lives. Rich food smooths the intestines but also causes phlegm; breakfasts should be simple and early, lunches should be rich and full, and dinners should be small. Following these rules, one can have a long and healthy life.
759. It is no disgrace to be poor and lowly, but it is to flatter and beg others; it is no honor to gain wealth and rank, but it is to benefit the world with wealth and rank.
760. Gaining fame and wealth that should not be gained invites fortune to become misfortune, but enduring hardships and poverty that are the hardest to bear invites bitterness to become sweetness.
761. Misfortune comes very easily from wealth and rank; we need to stay sincere, honest, and humble to avoid great trouble; fortunes and blessings are originally destined; we must remain thrifty and simple in order to extend their time with us.
762.We are born with consciences and would be no higher that the birds and beasts without them; saints and sages teach people the correct way, but people always go through thistles and thorns when deviating from it.
763. There are no fools in the world; how can one deceive others in vain hope? Suffering is everywhere; how can one enjoy leisure alone?
764. Material wealth causes wise people to lose their ambition, but foolish people to sin more. In either case, accumulating material wealth and then leaving it to one's children does irreparable harm.
765. People might not encounter difficulty, but they should not forget about it; flukes happen, but people should not keep them on their minds.
766. It is sinful to bang the drum to guide people the wrong way.
767. People need to be earnest and down to earth in order to perform deeds of merit and to set up businesses because remaining even slightly lustful for fame will misdirect them toward achieving the wrong goals. Self-cultivation should be based on the idea of a void; if one cares more for success, then they will descend into the level of the vulgar world.
768. With a constantly clear head, one can avoid heavenly punishments; with a spotlessly clean conscience, one can untie the divine mesh.
769.A merciful attitude is the root that sprouts to make all living beings survive and grow, and the moral courage to refrain from doing wrong can be a tower of strength for the world. Therefore, one of noble character neither bears to harm an insect nor embezzle a single penny to set the core values of humanity and establish the meanings of life and LIFE for all living beings.
770. To find the truth when fame and fortune disappear, you may reduce your craving; to find the cause of your suffering from adversity, you may stop complaining.
771. Heaven gives you a small piece of luck to embolden you before giving you a serious disaster; do not be too happy when luck comes, the important thing is how you enjoy it.
Heaven gives you a small disaster to admonish you before giving you great luck; do not be sad when disaster comes, the important thing is how you remedy it.
772. How long is life? Life is as short as the spark from stones knocking into iron; how big can it be in such a vast universe? The world where people compete with each other is as tiny as a snail's antenna.
773. Knowing that there are both successes and failures in life, it is unnecessary to persist too much for success; knowing that life and death are the roots of each other, it is unnecessary to struggle too much for a nourishing life.
774.Leading an easy and wealthy life, one should learn the pain of the poor; being young and strong, one should understand the bitterness of the old.
775. Do not reproach others for small faults; do not reveal their private matters; do not bear grudges against them. Refraining from doing those three things helps to cultivate one's moral character and to avoid disaster.
776. Those who give happiness have rich souls, those who give joy have rich spirits, and those who give blessings have material wealth.
777. The pursuit of life leads to endless troubles, but the pursuit of death leads to endless benefits.
778. Those who oppress the poor insult their maker, but those who are kind to them honor theirs.
779.Laying good foundations in advance is better than setting tents and building houses hastily on sandy beaches; improving the soil first is better than sowing seeds in barren fields.
781. Good fortunes cannot be seized by scheming; maintaining a happy mood is the right way to invite them. Disasters cannot be shunned by flukes; discarding hatred and grudges from one's mind is how to avoid them.
782. Too much enjoyment brews disaster; abnormal acts forebode misfortune.
783. The faithful do not pray for happiness, but heaven helps them to fulfill their wishes without their awareness. Vicious people are most concerned with avoiding calamities, but as they move to do so, Heaven deprives them of their senses and leaves them defenceless against them.
784. If you have done nothing to trouble your conscience, then you should not fear a late-night knock on your door. Nothing can be concealed, for gods are watching just above your head.
785. Those who do not want their faults to manifest themselves in the open should first ensure that nothing is amiss in their darkest closets. Live in silt, but remain unstained; know about schemes, but do not be lured.
786. The beauty of all things is the masterwork of the Greatest Creator, whose love can be felt upon all of us.
787. Merits and mistakes do not offset each other; undoubtedly, the guilty and wrong have to be punished regardless of their other great merits.
788. Upbringing, self-cultivation, and self-restraint are compulsory courses throughout life.
789. Cosmic geometry tells us that the world we live in is not Euclidean. That is, the circles of Euclidean geometry are not really circles and parallel lines eventually intersect, diverge, or both. The sums of the three inner angles of triangles are not 180º. Therefore, no one should negate ideology which you take as unnatural or unreasonable based on your personal experience. Different realms lead to different understandings.
790. The wave-particle duality tells us that the nature of things or the way that they move depend on the observer's consciousness and that different consciousnesses create different realities. It can be concluded that heaven and hell exist just as the rich and poor exist, from which we know that these 800 Values for New Era Human Being will bring peace and happiness to everyone.
791. Superstring theory bridges the incompatibility between general relativity and quantum theory, which argues that strings do not move in normal three-dimensional space, but in high-dimensional space which we cannot comprehend. Our past conception about space was wrong; space is not limited to three dimensions, but could have as many as ten, or even twenty-six. Paradoxes and contradictions are always eventually reconciled. We can never reconcile them unless we increase our understanding and cling to theories of "absolute truth".
792. Cosmic holography shows that people are a part of nature. The vibration of a butterfly's wings in Alaska can eventually lead to a storm in the Cape of Good Hope, so no one should ignore their own little efforts; someone's small cough will also cause heaven to vibrate.
793. Why are scientists unable to find a Unified Field Theory? Because scientists only recognize the first four forces: the weak force, the strong force, gravity, and magnetism, but not the second four forces: the tectonic force, the repulsive force, the conscious force, and the spiritual force. This shows that there are blind spots in both science and religion. The only way to solve these blind spots is with holographic theory.
794. When you step onto a thorn, your brain should sense it instantly. If it does not, that is not because there is no thorn, but because your brain is either too slow or dull or is malfunctioning. The world is about to change greatly; sensitive brains must have sensed this. If yours has not, then you must reconsider your thinking and reposition your outlook on life, your sense of values, your worldview, and your understanding and awareness of LIFE!
795. When you think you are right, you are probably wrong.
797. Without ending your worldly ties, you will transmigrate; without paying off your debts, you will return.
798. If you are confused and unable to find answers from humanity's historical experiences and accumulated knowledge, then try to read the book without words.
799. It is said that "The core of truth is in one sentence, while falseness is spread over millions of books". Actually, one sentence is too long, the core of truth is only one word: NATURE.
800. These 800 Values for New Era Human Beings are an open system. Time and space change ceaselessly, new thoughts, new ideas, and new methods emerge endlessly, and these 800 Values are subject to constant updating and perfection. This is the third revision; with the developments of the era, that which should be added will be added, and that which should be deleted will be deleted. We shall never follow the beaten track and the old routine or stick to obsolete ideas stubbornly, and we shall never impose limitations. While Deiform Buddha is in the human world, he will take charge to add and delete; when Deiform Buddha passes on, saints and sages will take charge and continue to do so. No one else may add to it or delete from it because that could compromise its holographic order.

Inspiration is everywhere! We find inspiration for our work in the great nations of the world. They all have their unique story.
Our story started at two opposite ends of this world. Frouwke grew up in the Netherlands. Francis is a Kiwi from Tokoroa. We met each other in Amsterdam the cultural centre of the Netherlands. We lived in the same old building, doing a course in counselling. Francis always says that he had an empty coffee cup and Frouwke had a coffee machine. A perfect match.
We share our love for different nations of this beautiful world. Frouwke lived in some amazing countries in Europe and in Asia. Francis has done some projects in PNG and Fiji. Experiencing the love of so many people of all kind of tribes and nations has shaped who we are now. In our ceramic work, we try to incorporate these experiences.
We both have a special spot in our hearts for the people that are oppressed and exploited. It is impossible to change all their lives, but we can change one at a time. We have found a place where we can buy Fairtrade handmade Indian wood blocks. Over the years we have been to India, Fiji etc to build houses, toilet blocks, and a playground.
Our ceramics are embossed with English tea roses, Swedish designs, polish folklore, Maori borders. We love the history of New Zealand and use Maori symbols and designs to tell the story of this awesome country we live in.
It is our heart's desire to use our ceramics to tell the story of those who cannot tell it themselves.

And when a presidential candidate threatens to ignore our voices and reject the outcome of this election, he is threatening the very idea of America itself and we cannot stand for that.

A highlight of this trip was a massive portion of horse tartare, which wasn't even something I ate at the Omnivore Food Festival. It's at the festival that I had one of the most memorable dishes so far this year.
During a previous trip to Montreal, I found that Fous Desserts had my favorite croissant in the city. A few months later, I made more bakery visits, ate far too many butter-filled bites, and spent time cleaning up crumbs in my rental car to see how Fous' would fare compared to other recommended croissants.
I can see why people make pilgrimages from afar to go shopping at Jean-Talon Market, where the food is gorgeous and delicious. As it is in the variety of restaurants I was lucky to try during my second trip of the year to Montreal.
From a morning pastry at one of the many patisseries to an elegant evening dessert from one of the city's finest pastry chefs, there's no shortage of sweets in Montreal. Here are 8 that I'm loving right now.
The chef at this witty and whimsical restaurant in Old Montreal has many surprises up his sleeve, including a "Club Sandwich" that's definitely not made with tomatoes and bread.
Amidst the croissants and the kouign amann and the breads in the bakeries, doughnuts are on the rise in Montreal. I decided to check out two places one carbo-filled morning.


Egyptian healthcare startup Vezeeta is expanding into the Levant, the latest of a series of companies from Egypt to start leaving home.
The last year has seen five startups leave for different climes, and four others are making their push out of Egypt in the next six months.
But startups from Egypt have a reputation among investors in the wider Middle East for rarely expanding out of the country. In the post-2011 cohort of startups we could only find 19 that had managed to establish themselves outside Egypt.
It's easy to name a handful - Yaoota, Crowd Analyzer, Eventtus, Instabug and Integreight - but a perception that few startups successfully scaled out of Egypt is one reason regional investors have given Wamda for not investing there.
They may need to come up with a new line.
The reason for the efflux could be that Egyptian entrepreneurs have started thinking regionally, rather than locally.
In the last year, online therapy platform Shezlong, digital platform Kijamii, and customer engagement software Performly have scaled to the UAE; ecommerce logistics play Edfa3ly to Kuwait; and Industrial Internet of Things startup Spimesense Labs began product trials in Italy and Mexico.
In April, group savings provider Moneyfellows, which is waiting on regulatory approval to access the Abu Dhabi fintech sandbox, and 'real life helpers' Elves will follow.
The UAE is the most popular location for Egyptian entrepreneurs to scale into, closely followed by Saudi Arabia, according to the Wamda Research Lab.
However, the 2015 Country Insights report showed there was more of a desire to scale than actual achievement.
Fast forward two years and the GCC broadly is still the market of choice.
Elves CEO Karim Elsahy said half of their 15,000-20,000 users were in Egypt but the GCC and the US had a quarter each, while Edfa3ly opened its GCC campaign in July last year. It was forced to do so because the failing Egyptian economy was wrecking their bottom line.
Vezeeta, founded in 2012, is taking an alternate route, identifying the Levant and French-speaking Maghreb as the low hanging fruit.
CEO Amir Barsoum has plans to be in Tunisia and Morocco by June, and "maybe" the Gulf by the end of the year.
The regional expansion strategy was decided in mid-2016, ahead of closing a $5 million Series B round, but the choice of country depends mainly on finding the right person to lead the expansion there. The Levant plan will be led by Rami Adwan, and the Maghreb team is still to be confirmed.
It's not that startups from Egypt don't want to scale out of the country - many do - but money is a factor.
Ousta, the locally born ride-hailing company, blasted into the ecosystem in March last year, but plans for a quick leap into Saudi Arabia and beyond were stalled by a lack of forthcoming investment.
Ousta indicates how risky expansion plans based on securing funding can be.
Delivery startup Bosta, which only fully launched in January, has a UAE-Saudi Arabia-Turkey trifecta planned to start within the next six months, subject to stabilizing their product in Egypt and - again - securing investment.
Taqalid CEO Yousef el Samaa, who presides over online death notice website El Wafeyat and funeral crowdfunding website In Memory Of, said they were planning a push into Saudi Arabia, and Lebanon and Jordan within the next three to six months, also depending on whether they can raise the funding.
El Wafeyat has an established business in Egypt.
However, unlike Ousta and Bosta, both of which wanted to realize a regional takeover within months of launch, Taqalid is several years old and faces very little competition in its prospective markets.
Egypt is more than twice as large as its closest population-neighbor in MENA, Saudi Arabia, and takes longer to dominate and therefore longer to leave. For example, Vezeeta and Eventtus both migrated once they'd achieved solid footholds in Egypt.
Vezeeta's CEO said bookings growth was at 20 percent month-on-month and they had 1.5 million registered users. While competitors are readily available (Dabadoc in North Africa, Doctoruna in the UAE, Meddy in Qatar, Sihatech in Saudi Arabia, and Allotabib in Tunisia), Barsoum does not consider these startups to be in the same league.
If the shortage of startups scaling into their backyards is a turnoff for foreign investors, the fact that Egypt can be a black box of mystery is another.
Sati, from his position in Jordan, said Egypt had never hit the sweet spot for them partly because of its "uniqueness", and partly because Egyptian investors didn't tend to reach out to their regional peers to brag about their portfolio companies, or just to touch base (he admitted he had not made the effort to go to Egypt either, however).
Wamda's database of the disclosed startup investments in MENA indicates that since 2010, 128 Egyptian companies have received some level of formal investment in 161 separate investment rounds.
Discounting the rounds where investors were individuals or weren't disclosed, Flat6labs is Egypt's most prolific investor, making about a third of all investments. In total, two thirds of those disclosed investments were almost excusively by Egyptian accelerators (including Flat6labs), funds, corporations or institutions, without international involvement.
Since 2010 regional investors, be they funds or corporations, have been involved in about 15 percent of the disclosed investments tracked in the Wamda database.
Whether the latest spate of Egyptian entrepreneurs venturing abroad will be enough to tempt regional investors into putting their money where their regional mandate is, will be seen over the coming years. And whether this is the long anticipated, long heralded emergence of the Egyptian startup story in the Middle East, well, we'll have to wait for that too.

FILE – This Monday, Sept. 28, 2020, file photo, shows the TikTok logo on a smartphone in Tokyo.
Republican-led states call for Apple, Google to increase age rating for TikTok
Fifteen Republican state attorneys general sent letters to the CEOs of Apple and Google on Wednesday demanding they increase their age ratings for the TikTok app.
State governments have increasingly taken aim at the video-hosting platform for its ties to Beijing and the mature content on it. The letters argue that the app's "Teen" rating in the Google Play Store and "12+" rating in the Apple App Store are deceptively low.
"We've known for a long time how TikTok acts as a Chinese Trojan horse, feeding harmful and adult content to children," Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen (R) said in a statement. "It exposes kids to harmful content that promotes drugs and alcohol use, glorifies eating disorders and encourages illegal and dangerous 'challenges,' whether they are searching for it or not. Drug cartels have even used it to recruit teenagers to join them."
Knudsen's letter was joined by GOP attorneys general in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas, Utah and Virginia.
Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita (R) filed a lawsuit against TikTok last week arguing its age ratings violated the state's consumer protection laws against deception, and he and the other officials in the new letters threaten potential legal action if Google and Apple do not change the ratings.
TikTok boasts tens of millions of users and is particularly popular among young people.
"Parents are the first line of defense, but their job is being made more difficult by ratings that misrepresent the true content found on the platform," Knudsen said. "It's past time for Apple and Google to do their part in helping parents keep their kids safe online and increase their TikTok ratings."
The Hill has reached out to Apple, Google and TikTok for comment.
Multiple state governments in recent days have moved to ban TikTok from state devices, in part because of concerns over data privacy on the platform.
Lawmakers and national security officials have raised alarm at TikTok's Chinese-based parent company, ByteDance, with some suggesting user data is not protected from being accessed by the Chinese Communist Party.
The Biden administration is negotiating with TikTok about a security deal for the platform's continued use, while a bipartisan group of lawmakers earlier this week introduced a bill that would ban TikTok in the U.S.

Albert Ludwigs University of Freiburg (Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg)
Founded in the 15th century, the University of Freiburg has a long-standing reputation of excellence in academic teaching and research. Among the most renowned university members were the philosophers Edmund Husserl and Martin Heidegger, the economist Walter Eucken, and such Nobel Prize winners as Hans Spemann, Hermann Staudinger, Georg von Hevesy, Friedrich August von Hayek and George Köhler. Today, with its mixture of traditional subjects and modern technology, the University of Freiburg is flourishing more than ever. The university and its hospital employ more than 19,000 staff members. Organized according to the classical model of a comprehensive university, it provides 25,000 students with a broad range of subjects – from applied information technology, the entire spectrum of medical specialities and natural sciences to the fields of humanities and social sciences. Freiburg's research and teaching policies aim to overcome the barriers between individual disciplines to create opportunities for new perspectives on complex problems. By supporting collaborative research projects across boundaries and implementing centers of knowledge and interdisciplinary graduate colleges, the university provides the disciplines an effective means by which to benefit from each other's knowledge.
An added benefit that comes with such flexibility is an increased international interest for our university: We are pleased to have a significant number of scientists and students from all over the world, whose culture-specific views of scientific procedures and research approaches enrich the dialog with their German counterparts. 16% of the student body are from foreign countries. The general international exchange of scientific results and experiences also plays an important role at the University of Freiburg. More than 300 partner universities and programs on five continents, together with the alumni association, form a first-class international network. (Source: University of Freiburg)
Media Control means uses of media in terms of political power, e.g., censorship. By the means of discourse analysis, the research presented in this video investigates the communication of authorities and asks how they communicate about media they want to censor. As STEPHAN PACKARD explains, his analysis reveals two competing questions in those discourses. One is where and with what legitimacy a line is drawn between controlled communication and controlling agency; the other is which rules are generally governing the, possibly censored, communication in question.

The kouprey has long been considered a lost jewel of the dry forests. No confirmed sighting has been made for years, and there are fears it may now be extinct.

Kouprey, grey ox
Critically Endangered (A2d C1+2a(i)); CITES Appendix I
IUCN
Bos sauveli
The kouprey is a wild forest-dwelling ox with a tall narrow body, either grey, dark brown, or black in colour.
Height: up to 2m at the shoulder
Weight: average 900kg
Population and Distribution
The only significant scientific observation of the Kouprey was made in 1957 when zoologist Charles Wharton studied and filmed the animal in the wild. Since that time, however, there have been few verified sightings of the animal. IUCN believes it likely that the kouprey is now extinct, with at best under 50 mature individuals remaining. This number does not represent a viable population.
The wars in Indochina contributed to the decimation of the Kouprey population. Evidence of human disturbance including logging and agricultural development is also widespread in its habitats.
However, hunting, especially for subsistence and for trade (horns and skulls) has been the major contribution to the downfall of this species. Sadly, the only confirmed sighting of a kouprey in recent years has been the skull and horns offered for sale in local markets - at very high prices.
Priority region
What is WWF doing?
WWF works throughout the region to preserve species like the kouprey and to protect vital habitat.
It also works to curb illegal wildlife trade by increasing controls, improving regulations and raising awareness.

The name kouprey is derived from the Khmer language and means forest ox.


It's Ludum Dare time again, and I figured I might write a game for the zx spectrum (again) for the heck of it.
After waking up, I checked the theme which was "Shapeshift". I thought of several ideas - Ikaruga clone, a take on the lost vikings or fury of the furries where you'd just swap between characters in place.. like in trine, actually. Or how about a take on "hole in the wall" TV show. All possible, but would either take way too much time to make for the speccy. So I took a simpler idea, a twist on the ancient "robots" game.
In "robots" you have a bunch of robots that always move one step towards you on every turn - yes, it's turn based - and if two robots collide, they die. If they collide with you, you die. In some versions you can also teleport to a random location, possibly limited times, or with cooldown.
In my twist, the robots come in three colors, and you can change your color. Each color can 'eat' one color and be eaten by one other color. I didn't know whether it'd be fun or not, but it's a simple enough mechanic to write quickly.
Then I went out for a nature walk with my boy, went out to eat, came back home and (after talking it over with my wife) started working on the game.
Time between my "Trying to get a speccy game together" tweet and my "Here's my ludum dare entry" tweet is 9 hours. I also helped with dinner, ate dinner, took dogs for a walk, and performed the usual fatherly responsibilities like reading a bedtime story.
My original idea was that every color change you do is also a move, but this quickly turned out to make the game extremely difficult. Being able to choose your color freely made the game easier.. possibly too easy, but that's a better option, especially in Ludum Dare games.
For art, I used my image spectrumizer. The fact that stb_image loads photoshop's .psd files makes the art workflow really powerful. I'd draw in photoshop and have the same file open in spectrumizer on another monitor, and every time I save the file I'd see the spectrumized result instantly.
Being "robots", I only needed two sprites - a robot and the player. I tried to make the robots really angular and boxy and the player more round and smaller, but when we're talking 1-bit 16x16 sprites (and my skill level) the results may not be quite as good as I'd hoped. But I did think about it before doing the art, which is something I guess =).
Being turn based, I could have some longer sound effects. I used BeepFX player by Shiru again, this time being able to use it more properly.
Working off my speccy toolchain and various bits of routines and tools I had written for it. As an example, the sprite routines I used are total overkill for this game, as the sprites only move in 16x16 aligned positions. That also means there's 7 unused copies of the sprites (and masks) in the game. Yes, it's a waste.
Since I had all those routines to use and the turn baseness of the game meant I didn't need to care about hitting 50Hz, I didn't need to write a single line of z80 assembly to build the game.
After getting the game logic going and having the game over done and even the level progression written, I still needed to write the main menu. I started coding a window drawing routine to draw the menu on top of the game's graphics.. and then figured, this will take ages, and I have memory to spare. So I fired up photoshop again and just drew the main menu as a static image instead.
For packaging I used my Mackarel again. The game uses two full-screen images (the game background and main menu) which I told mackarel to load as a compressed low-memory block. This was much simpler than to turn the images into include files. This did lead to a slight complication, because the my default code offset is low enough that two uncompressed images didn't fit under it, so I needed to tweak it. Fortinately that didn't blow up anything, so I've apparently didn't have any (critical) hard coded addresses anywhere.
If I was really tight on memory space I could have stored the main menu in compressed form while running and decompress when it's actually needed, but at the moment the memory map shows 16k unused space.. (well, not totally unused: the non-const globals are allocated from there).
Progname set to "RGBobots  "
Estimated load time: 82 seconds (19 secs to loading screen).
One of the last things I did was the different input schemes. Keyboard routines were relatively simple (and the interface-2 joystick is also a "keyboard" device), but for some reason I had a lot of problems getting kempston support going. After struggling with that for an hour or so I figured it doesn't absolutely need to be there, so I edited the option out from the main menu picture and removed the option. The problem with the kempston (in this case) is that it's a separate port to read from, and the turn-baseness of this game was achieved through an ANYKEY() check.. which, for some reason, I couldn't get working with kempston. So I cut it out.
Based on the early comments on the Ludum Dare entry page people seem to be liking it. I don't think the game has any chance of getting to the top-10, though, and I think there'll be games that are way more deserving to be there.
You can grab the .tap image here, or try an online emulator here. The sources are in github along with the rest of my speccy stuff.
Someone asked for a windows port of the game. I considered this for a while, but that would probably take more effort than writing the game did, due to the way the control flow goes. It's better to just download an emulator and run the .tap through it.
Anyway, I hope you'll find it as fun as it was to write!


If you doesn't want do the extra work and want a package wich will do everything for you, i have found the library DinkToPdfIncludesDependencies, wich includes the DinkToPdf library and the wkhtmltopdf library, so you only need to add this nuget package and you are fine. I had only on linux os problems with this library and must add the wkhtmltopdf library for linux manually, but on windows this library should work fine.
I hope you enjoy the library.

Europe plans to mine the moon
PLANS for a European base on the moon have taken a major step forward.
The European Space Agency (ESA) revealed it has signed up rocket maker Ariane Group to develop plans for a moon base that could be used to mine material from the lunar surface.
The project will "examine the possibility of going to the moon before 2025 and starting to work there" — and could trigger a new space race as countries rush to harness lunar resources.
The one-year contract aims to eventually mine regolith on the lunar surface.
"As ESA and other agencies prepare to send humans back to the moon — this time to stay — technologies that make use of materials available in space are seen as key to sustainability, and a stepping stone in humankind's adventure to Mars and farther into the solar system," the space agency said.
"In the longer term, resources in space may even be used on Earth."
"Regolith is an ore from which it is possible to extract water and oxygen, thus enabling an independent human presence on the moon to be envisaged, capable of producing the fuel needed for more distant exploratory missions," ESA says.
"The use of space resources could be a key to sustainable lunar exploration and this study is part of ESA's comprehensive plan to make Europe a partner in global exploration in the next decade — a plan we will put to our Ministers for decision later this year at the Space19+ Conference," added Dr. David Parker, who is a director of human and robotic exploration at ESA.
The mission will pit Europe against the U.S., Russia and China, all of whom are developing moon missions.

Home » Oceanside
Oceanside is 35 miles north of San Diego and just 90 miles south of Los Angeles. Camp Pendleton Marine Corps Base is located in North Oceanside, and is considered a "recreational" paradise with its military community spreading out over 125,000 acres. The city has 3 golf courses, lots of tennis courts and over 6 miles of beach front roadway. The Oceanside Harbor has a 260 slip boat launch area as well as chartered sport fishing boats and whale watching tours. The 1,942 ft. Pier is a prized community resource, and great for a stroll out to watch the surfers and waves or a sunset.
Oceanside Museum of Art, located in downtown Oceanside with a view of the Pacific Ocean and historic pier, is a cultural jewel. Also worth a visit is the California Surf Museum, which is actively locating, collecting, documenting and preserving historic surfing related artifacts and memorabilia.
Relocation to Oceanside is well-known and popular because of its affordability, attractive beaches and near perfect weather, giving it a population of 167,086.

The Oceanside community is rich in natural treasures, tradition and history. From the earliest dwellers to the pioneering families who settled here and built on the land, Oceanside has become a place where civic involvement, military pride and ethnic and social diversity join for a common cause, the ongoing celebration of Oceanside's unique history.
Relocation to Oceanside, California is a popular destination because of afford- ability, beautiful beaches, attractive Harbor and near perfect weather. This also makes Oceanside a popular alternative to San Diego, California relocation. Oceanside is located just 35 miles north of San Diego and 90 miles south of Los Angeles – far enough away to still have small town appeal, but close enough to provide access to urban amenities. Oceanside is the perfect Southern California relocation paradise that can serve the entire family.
Over 3.5 miles of white sandy beaches make Oceanside the ideal place for sunning, surfing, and sandcastle building. Take a leisurely stroll along the water or bring your pole for some great surf fishing.
With plenty of parking and easy beach access, Oceanside presents one of the finest beach areas on the west coast. Harbor beach alone offers more than 16 acres of clean level sand, and handicap "sand" wheel chairs are available for use at each lifeguard tower. Enjoy a day at the beach and don't forget your sunscreen!
Oceanside Harbor
Unlike most ports, all boats are visible from a two-lane asphalt drive encircling its shoreline. Fine restaurants, picnic tables, and a Harbor Village with shops, eateries, and a lighthouse, along with the nearby Harbor Beach combine to offer the seafarer and motor visitor an enchanting experience of color and atmosphere. Oceanside's Harbor is a mecca for sportfishing, whale watching, boating and other water-oriented activities. The Marina inside the harbor has sloops ranging in length from 25-51 feet. Transient moorings and limited RV beach camping are available. Harbor Days is a scheduled annual event held the 3rd weekend in September.
Oceanside Pier
The historic Oceanside Pier is a prized community resource as well as a monument to its citizens' persistence in seeing that a pier remains a part of its oceanfront recreational facilities. At its current 1,942 feet in length, it remains one of the longest wooden construction recreational piers on the West Coast. From its reach, viewers can peer into the entrance channel of Oceanside Harbor, a 900 + boat recreational marina that sits along the northwest borders of the city. The pier is a recreational common ground for Oceanside, a place where young and old, fisherman and surfer, tourist and residents mingle, stroll, and sit to watch the waves or the sunset while enjoying the beauty of the Pacific Ocean. While a fishing license is required for surf fishing on the beach,
no license is needed for fishing off the pier.
Mission San Luis Rey
Mission San Luis Rey de Francia, named in honor of St. Louis, King of France, is located in a secluded valley four miles east of Highway 5 in Oceanside. Founded in June 1798 by Father Fermin Francisco de Lasuen, the Mission is one of the most architecturally impressive of all the California missions. Built of adobe and faced with brick, it is a composite of Spanish, Mexican, and Moorish styles. For over thirty years the mission prospered under the direction of Father Antonio Peyri. By 1801, over 300 Indians had been enrolled in the mission, making it one of the most populous in California. After secularization in the 1830's, the mission grounds were used for bullfights and later, as a military post by U.S. troops. In 1893, the mission was rededicated as a Franciscan seminary. Today, the "King of Missions" includes a picnic area, museum and gift shop. The newly developed San Luis Rey Valley Conference Center & Garden's, located at the Mission, is equipped to accommodate conventions, conferences, banquets, as well as weddings, it covers 17,500 square feet of space with state-of-the-art audio-visual equipment – a perfect meeting place!
Heritage Park Village & Museum centers around an idyllic Main Street lined with many of historic Oceanside's original buildings. The first General Store, the Portola Inn, the Blacksmith Shop & Livery Stable, a doctors office, the Old City jail, Libby School and the Blade newspaper building provide an ambient backdrop for education programs, special events and social gatherings of all kinds.
Oceanside's recreational opportunities are geared to fit every lifestyle. The city boasts 3 golf courses, numerous tennis courts and over 6 miles of beachfront roadway just perfect for jogging, biking or rollerblading. Known as a mecca for watersports, our 260 slip Harbor has a convenient boat launch area and offers services for boat, kayak and jetski rentals. Helgren's Sportfishing Inc. operates daily sportfishing charters going out of the Harbor, and also offers Whale Watching Tours from December through March. Try your hand at surf fishing along our coastline, or simply drop a line off the end of our 1972 ft pier and wait for the fish to bite. Oceanside also hosts numerous amateur and profes- sional surfing contests through out the year.
Camp Pendleton Marine Corps Base
The world's largest U.S. Marine Corps Amphibious Training Base is located in North Oceanside. It is considered a "recreational" paradise with its military community of over 36,000 spread over 125,000 acres. The camp is well recognized for its interest and effort toward ecology and the preservation of natural resources. With its three mountain ranges and varied geographical terrain, Camp Pendleton has earned its title as an "Ecological Oasis of Coastal California." Home of the First Marine Division, Camp Pendleton is situated on what was once a Spanish land grant called Rancho Santa Margarita y Las Flores. The area's natural beauty has been changed as little as possible, making Camp Pendleton a modern military base in the heart of a little piece of history.
The Oceanside area has several beautiful golf courses:
Center City Golf Course 760-433-8590 El Camino Country Club 760-757-2100 Emerald Isle Golf 760-721-4700 Oceanside Golf Course 760-433-1360
Guajome Regional Park
Nestled in the serene and historic San Luis Rey valley, Guajome Regional Park is a beautiful ecological preserve featuring native chaparral vegetation. There is a wonderful lake perfect for fishing and trails for hiking, biking, and horseback riding. Quiet, modern campsites are available year round.
Oceanside Municipal Airport
A half-mile of highway allows you to travel a half mile; a half-mile of airport runway will allow you to travel anywhere you choose. Over the last century, civil aviation has become an integral part of the U.S. economy, a key catalyst for economic growth.
There has been an airport in the San Luis Rey Valley since the 1930's. The Oceanside Municipal Airport is a paved and lighted landing facility, providing tourists and businesses and alternate mode of transportation into our city. In addition, the Oceanside Airport serves as a flight training facility for our future airline and military pilots, not to mention a possible astronaut or two. The airport is also used, regularly, by Life Flight Medical Services as well as other emergency services. The Oceanside Municipal Airport is truly an asset to our city.
Buena Vista Audubon Society Nature Center
At the absolute southern edge of Oceanside, you'll find the Buena Vista Audubon Society's Nature center. Sited on the Buena Vista Lagoon, the Center offers a variety of natural history experiences. In the course of an afternoon, you can walk amid native plants to see views of the lagoon and its bird life, discover tracks along the shore that reveal the night's animal visitors, tour the garden of native plants, find the world's tiniest mammals in one of the exhibits of local habitat, learn what endangered species live in the lagoon and challenge your children with nature games.
California Surf Museum
Until the California surf Museum was opened, very little had been done in an organized way to preserve the history of surfing, its boards, or its fascinating artifacts. At a time when the historical roots of many beach communities are rapidly changing and/or disappearing, the California Surf Museum is rising to the challenge of providing a strong link between the oceans, many ocean sports, and the lifestyles of the community. The museum is actively locating, collecting, documenting and preserving historic surfing related artifacts and memorabilia. Through a series of rotating exhibits, the California Surf Museum presents a varied picture of the many facet of surfing.
Oceanside Museum of Art
Oceanside Museum of Art is a cultural jewel location in downtown Oceanside
with a view of the Pacific Oceans and the historic Oceanside Pier. The museum is housed in a classic Irving Gill designed building that represents the flavor of Southern California in the 1930's. Providing North San Diego County with a variety of programming that compliments its progressive exhibition schedule, OMA presents five provocative exhibits each year.
Museum hours are Tuesday-Saturday, 10-4 and Sunday, 1-4. Admission is $5, seniors, students and military $3. For information call, 760-721-2787 or visit the website at www.oma-online.org.

Q: Grails wants to downgrade my plugins when I copy my app to a new machine When I copy my app to a different machine and do 'grails run-app' grails seems to skip a step as far as updating its local plugins.  (What I mean is the first computer has just done Downloading: plugins-list.xml, but when I run the app on the second machine, the new machine will not do that step.)  I get this message:
Loading Grails 2.0.3
Configuring classpath

Environment set to development.....
Packaging Grails application
You currently already have a version of the plugin installed [resources-1.1.6]. Do you want to update to [resources-1.1.5]? [y,n] n
Plugin resources-1.1.5 install aborted
Compiling 92 source files

Am I diagnosing this correctly, and how do I force an update?  Also, if I do accept the downgrade my app breaks.  Not sure whats up with that as it was working with 1.1.5 for a while..
What I feel like is happening is that grails makes a note in the project when grails' plugin magic was last updated, so that when I move the project the other grails mistakenly thinks it just updated.  Is this at all correct?

A: Are you specifying your plugins in your BuildConfig.groovy file or are you "installing" the plugins using the install-plugin command?  My reading indicates usage of the install-plugin command isn't recommended anymore, you should instead specify the plugin as in your BuildConfig.groovy file then Grails will just handle it regardless of what machine you deploy on.
Example:
plugins {
    /*
    * build - dependency that is only needed by the build process
    * compile - dependency that is needed at both compile-time and runtime. This is the most common case
    * provided - dependency that is needed at compile-time but should not be packaged with the app (usually because it is provided by the container). An example is the Servlet API
    * runtime - dependency that is needed to run the application, but not compile it e.g. JDBC implementation for specific database vendor. This would not typically be needed at compile-time because code depends only the JDBC API, rather than a specific implementation thereof
    * test - dependency that is only needed by the tests
    */
    runtime ":cached-resources:1.0"
    runtime ":database-migration:1.1"
    runtime ":hibernate:$grailsVersion"
    runtime ":jquery:1.7.1"
    runtime ":resources:1.1.6"
    runtime ":yui-minify-resources:0.1.4"
    runtime ":zipped-resources:1.0"

    compile ":cache-headers:1.1.5"
    compile ":commentable:0.8.1"
    compile ":jquery-ui:1.8.15"
    compile ":joda-time:1.4"
    compile ":searchable:0.6.3"
    compile ":spring-security-ldap:1.0.6" // Also installs spring-security-core

    build ":tomcat:$grailsVersion"

}

Note too that some plugins also require a special entry in the dependencies section of your BuildConfig.groovy file.  The JodaTime plugin is one such plugin.
dependencies {
    compile "org.jadira.usertype:usertype.jodatime:1.9"
}

A plugin's docs should specify if any entry in the dependencies section is needed.

At St. Leonard's Church we take prayer very seriously. An important aspect of that is praying for our community, both for individual needs and for the community as a whole.
To make this easier and so that you - the community of Southminster – know when we are praying for your area we have devised a system whereby every street in the village will be prayed for every five weeks.
To be a people offering praise and worship to God and serving Him by being the Good News by our words and actions.

Marketing is a powerful business tool. As solicitor Nick Freeman – 'Mr Loophole' – highlights, a short, striking description 'is a hugely effective' way to 'showcase a CV in one pin-sharp soundbite'.
Marketing has been an activity open to solicitors since 1986: lawyers should be pretty good at it by now. Shouldn't they?
Here's Obiter's near-neighbour Mishcon de Reya, with a full-page ad in the Economist. 'Risk is good,' the ad simply declares. Is it? Obiter wonders which ideas didn't make the cut. 'You're on your own this time!' perhaps.
That's better, though, than a Canadian law firm's ad that, shudder, cannot be unseen. Stevens Virgin now uses the slogan: 'Fierce, focused litigators.' But time was when the firm ran this ad: 'When it comes to litigation, always go with a VIRGIN.' Oh dear.
Many firms opt for an earnest assertion of their virtues. 'Your case is our cause,' Slater and Gordon declares, with sympathetically tilted head. 'Results for our clients, success for our people,' is Weightmans' win-win line. And 'Specialist advice in a real world context,' is available at Ashfords.
But Obiter senses the sector is entering a new, more cryptic phase. EY Law asks: 'Can a question start a ripple that will help the world work better?' Hmmm, 'if this is an answer,' as the old philosophy joke goes. Virtual firm Keystone Law is where you'll find, 'Law set free… Where passion drives performance'. A lovely image of a pair of nesting lawyers reintroduced to the wild.
Obiter's favourite of the new wave marketing attempts is from Memery Crystal, which opts for: 'What are you thinking?' What indeed.

Voices of the Mountain Communities
In a World of Superstitions
5 years ago Pamir Times
By Junaina Fazal
Hey! Watch out! A Black cat has crossed your way a second ago. Now Please be alert, something awful is going to happen to you. "And how do you get to know about this?"
"It's what the ancient Greeks have said." "Oh come on! What a piece of useless, crap thought you have in your brain." I mean what sort of misfortune can a black cat brings to a human? Isn't it foolishness? But no wait I'm living in a world of superstitions, a broadly held but irrational belief in supernatural influences, especially as leading to good or bad luck where people don't believe in the course of their actions but they do feel the third force to be blamed.
Where ever you go these superstitions follow you. One may think how these have been created? I must say "misunderstanding" has the key role to offer in fabricating bundle of such idiotic notions. Misunderstandings related to science or other casualties and the fear too. This exhibits how mindless the human minds are. In this contemporary age where science has engrossed whole of the planet, where the highbrows are manifesting the truth of the past and the present and we are positioning at the fore of the future there exist a world of credulity. Yes, it does exist. In this circle of insanity there lives what we call the ignorant ones. They believe the whistling indoors is an invitation to the demons, they consider itching in the right hand means that they are going to get money and in the left may lose the money, huh! For my whole life I thought itching is something related to internal irritation but anyways. The one that I use to laugh at the most was that associated with the scissors. This is credited to the Egyptians, "the most civilized ones". According to Egyptian lure playing with the scissors idly brings bad luck and my mother always rebukes me whenever I do something like that. The Italians view ending up of an owl in your house will result in the death of one of your blood relative. Whoop! That owl never knows this that he is bringing what. Hey! Who didn't have played with Yo-Yo in the childhood? Syria in 1933 banned Yo-Yos over the fear that they would cause a dry spell. Full Moons are beautiful huh? No it brings chaos. Yes, be wary of the full moon.
No please don't roam your head. It's all around us. This is a harsh certitude of majority of beings that nobody takes responsibility for their undertakings but take shelter of such misconceptions and the others are left out with fear, the fear of unknown whom they didn't sure that it even exist or not. Leaving footwear upside down is considered totally wrong and an insult to God but the insults we do every day by our evil acts have no place of consideration. Yes we live in a world of superstitions.

UFC 117: Silva vs. Sonnen was a mixed martial arts event held by the Ultimate Fighting Championship on August 7, 2010 at the Oracle Arena in Oakland, California, United States.

Background
UFC President Dana White announced via ESPN on Jim Rome is Burning that Middleweight Champion Anderson Silva would face Chael Sonnen on August 7.

White threatened to cut Silva from the UFC if he fought the same way he did in his previous bout in Abu Dhabi at UFC 112. "I'm telling you right now, if he acts like that again in the ring, I will cut him," said White. "I don't care if he's the pound for pound best fighter in the world. I don't care if he's the middleweight champion."

A bout between Joey Beltran and Matt Mitrione was reported to be in the works. The fight was later moved to UFC 119.

Stanislav Nedkov was scheduled to make his UFC debut against Rodney Wallace, but was replaced by Phil Davis after sustaining an injury.

Thiago Silva was scheduled to face Tim Boetsch, but was forced off the card with an aggravated back injury. Silva's replacement was Todd Brown.

Dana White confirmed that the winner of the Fitch vs. Alves fight would receive a title shot.

The Fitch/Alves fight was changed to catchweight status after Alves weighed in at 171.5 lb; 0.5 lb over the 171 lb welterweight limit for non title fights. Alves was fined 20% of his purse.

Downloading Music Illegally Could Cost You $22,500 Per Song
by Fox Van Allen on June 26, 2013
in Music and Video, News, Computers and Software, Internet & Networking, Blog :: 0 comments
Record companies learned years ago that suing private citizens for millions of dollars over illegally downloaded songs makes for bad PR. Still, a number of old cases are still making their way through the legal system. Just yesterday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit upheld a massive legal judgment against a 20-year-old file sharer in Sony BMG v. Tenenbaum, confirming that it is constitutionally acceptable to hit those who share music online with a nasty, arguably arbitrary $22,500-per-song punishment.
In 2003, Joel Tenenbaum received a letter from record company Sony demanding $3,500 in fees for 30 songs the then college student downloaded using file-sharing service Kazaa. Tenenbaum was unable to pay and ultimately took the matter to trial in 2009, where a jury award the record company a $675,000 verdict – 15 percent of the $4.5 million maximum allowable by law.
The judge in the case ultimately reduced the fine to $67,500, claiming that the jury's six-figure punishment violated Tenenbaum's due process rights. An appeals court later re-instated the original verdict in 2011.
In its ruling yesterday, the First Circuit court was not addressing whether Tenenbaum broke the law – he had already admitted to his file sharing activities under oath – merely whether or not such a massive judgment was constitutional. "Much of this behavior was exactly what Congress was trying to deter when it amended the Copyright Act," the verdict reads. "Therefore, we do not hesitate to conclude that an award of $22,500 per song, an amount representing 15% of the maximum award for willful violations and less than the maximum award for non-willful violations, comports with due process."
Arguably, the $675,000 verdict for the 30 songs pirated by Tenenbaum has no real-world connection to the actual losses suffered by record companies as a result of the defendant's file sharing. A 2004 study done by Harvard University and the University of North Carolina suggests that, "while downloads occur on a vast scale, most users are likely individuals who would not have bought the album even in the absence of file sharing."
If you're still downloading music illegally, you should probably stop – while massive verdicts like these are likely a thing of the past, record companies are still pursuing copyright violators. Check out music streaming services such as Spotify instead – many offer free on-demand listening if you're willing to put up with an ad or two.
