This summer, in Norwalk, Ohio, VanDerBrink Auctions will in a massive weekend-long event. But unlike other large auctions that take place around the country, there will be only one seller, a man named Ron Hackenberger.
Since 1962, Hackenberger has been building his collection. Back then, he was a truck driver, which gave him plenty of opportunities to scout out old cars. When he started his own trucking company, it freed him up to bring a lot more cars back home with him. Eventually, he sold that company and became a rancher in Texas, but he didn't stop collecting cars. Now living in Ohio, he's amassed a collection of more than 700 cars.
With nearly 250 of them, Hackenberger admits he has a special affinity for Studebakers. But the rest of his collection is incredibly diverse. His only requirement through the years was that a car be "something that you won't see every day." He's got microcars, limousines, trucks, vintage motorcycles, and, of course, muscle cars.
Originally, Hackenberger's plan was to open a museum, but he eventually decided to liquidate his collection. , or go check the cars out in person the weekend of July 14th. Who knows? You might even come home with a few of them.


The most important finding made in the field of neurobiological research during the last decade is the discovery of the enormous experience-dependent plasticity of the human brain. The elaboration and stabilization of synaptic connectivity, and therefore, the complexity of neuronal networks in the higher brain centres depend to a far greater extent than previously believed on how – or rather, for which purpose – an individual uses his brain, the goals pursued, the experiences made in the course of his life, the models used for orientation, the values providing stability and eliciting a sense of commitment. The transmission and internalization of culture-specific abilities and of culture-specific values is achieved primarily during childhood by nonverbal communication (mirror neuron system, imitation learning) as well as by implicit and explicit experiences (reward system, avoidance and reinforcement learning). Therefore the structural and functional organization of the human brain is crucially determined by social and cultural factors. Especially the frontal cortex with its highly complex neuronal networks involved in executive functions, evaluation an decision making must be conceptualized as a social, culturally shaped construct. The most important prerequisites for the transgenerational transmission of human values and their deep implementation into the higher frontocortical networks of the brains of subsequent generations are secure affectional relationships and a broad spectrum of different challenges. Only under such conditions, children are able to stabilize sufficiently complex networks and internal representations for metacognitive competences in their brains. This delicate process of experience-dependent organization of neuronal connectivity is seriously and often also persistently hampered or prematurely terminated by uncontrollable stress experiences. This danger ought be minimized by education programs aiming at the implementation of values of connectedness to others and to nature during the period of brain maturation.


Why Child360? What does it mean?
Child360 reflects our ongoing commitment to support quality early learning, from every angle.
Our vision for educational justice remains stronger than ever! And with Child360, it's clarified. Child360 is working toward a future where every child is given the educational opportunities they need to succeed in school and life.
What led to the new brand name?
Our organization has always stood for making quality early learning a reality for every child, regardless of his or her background.
We're proud of our LA roots, and to advance critical conversations and drive action, we need a name that underscores our approach to support the whole child, beginning at birth—whether here in California or in our nation's capital.
What does the tagline, "one focus, every angle" reflect?
Child360 puts the success of our earliest learners at the forefront, and we know lifting-up those around them provides the best foundation for our children's futures.
Throughout our history, we have taken a 360 degree approach to improve and expand the vital early learning opportunities our young children need, by working alongside educators, families, partner organizations, policy makers and our communities.
What does the new logo symbolize?
The refined logo pays homage to our history, while visually leading us forward. The circle mirrors our new name, and like a child's arms reaching upward, it signifies both the growth of both our earliest learners and our organization.
What was the rebrand process like?
Today's reveal has been two years in the making. It was an organization-wide initiative, with our staff and board playing an integral role throughout the process. The journey in its entirety was guided by external research and analysis, lead by experts in industries spanning from education to marketing.
Are you still servicing Los Angeles?
Absolutely! Since inception, we were established as the early education non-profit in Los Angeles County to support the care and development of the county's youngest learners. This commitment remains as our reach continues to expand.
What do you ultimately hope to achieve with this refined brand?
Our investment in Child360 is an investment in the future of our communities; by supporting our earliest learners, we are equipping and empowering the next generation of our future workforce.
A new name, that clearly defines and is representative of the work we do daily, gives us the banner to better embody who we are, and where we are going.
Alongside our trusted partners, Child360 will continue to improve the quality of learning and elevate the early learning industry through program support, professional development, advocacy, research, and community engagement.
Why should I support Child360?
Access to quality early education should be an inherent right for all children. Expanding opportunities to high-quality early childhood education is among the smartest investments we can make.
From the moment a child is born, through the age of five, the architecture of the brain is being developed. By age three, a child's brain is 85% developed.
Research shows that children who attend quality early learning programs are four times more likely to earn a college degree, stay employed longer, and earn higher incomes. Research also validates that every $1 invested in early learning yields a nearly $9 return to society! That's because kids who enter kindergarten with a quality early learning foundation, have higher levels of health and face lower incarceration rates.
Yet, just 35% of four-year-olds, and less than 10% of three-year-olds, are receiving the high quality education they deserve! Child360, alongside trusted partners, is working to make early education a reality for all children.
From every angle, we are equipping the next generation, empowering them to discover their potential, and investing in our future workforce. Our children deserve it, and so do we.


Almost all fruit and vegetables count towards your 5 A Day, so it may be easier than you think to get your recommended daily amount.
At a glance: what counts?
80g of fresh, canned and or frozen fruit and vegetables counts as one 5 A Day portion. Opt for tinned or canned fruit and vegetables in natural juice or water, with no added sugar or salt.
30g of dried fruit (this is equivalent to around 80g fresh fruit) counts as one 5 A Day portion. Dried fruit should be eaten at mealtimes, not as a between-meal snack, to reduce the risk of tooth decay.
150ml fruit juice, vegetable juice or smoothie . Limit the amount you drink to a combined total of 150ml a day. Crushing fruit and vegetables into juice and smoothies releases the sugars contained in the fruit and vegetables, which can cause damage to teeth.
80g of beans and pulses . These only count as one 5 A Day portion a day, no matter how many you eat. This is because, although they are a good source of fibre, they contain fewer nutrients than other fruits and vegetables.
For more on typical portion sizes, see 5 A Day portion sizes.
Tinned or canned fruit and vegetables. Buy ones tinned in natural juice or water, with no added sugar or salt.
Fruit and vegetables cooked in dishes such as soups, stews or pasta.
A 30g portion of dried fruit, such as currants, dates, sultanas and figs, counts as one of your 5 A Day, but should be eaten at mealtimes, not as a between-meal snack, to reduce the impact on teeth.
Fruit and vegetables in convenience foods, such as ready meals and shop-bought pasta sauces, soups and puddings.
Some ready-made foods are high in salt, sugar and fat, so only have them occasionally or in small amounts. You can find the salt, sugar and fat content of ready-made foods on the label. For more information, see our page on food labels.
Keep an eye on the amount of fruit juice and smoothies you drink. The current advice is to limit consumption of fruit/vegetable juices and smoothies to a combined total of 150ml a day (one portion). Crushing fruit into juice also releases the sugars contained in the fruit, which can cause damage to teeth. Even unsweetened fruit juice and smoothies are sugary, so limit these to a combined total of 150ml a day.
Diluting with water (still or sparkling) can make 150ml of fruit juice go further, if you're thirsty.
Remember to keep fruit juice and smoothies to mealtimes, to reduce the impact on teeth.
For more details, see 5 A Day FAQs.
In the UK, we get a lot of our vitamin C from potatoes. Although they typically only contain around 11-16mg of vitamin C per 100g of potatoes, we generally eat a lot of them.
Potatoes play an important role in your diet, even if they aren't cooked with salt or fat, even if they don't count towards your 5 A Day. It's best to eat them without any added salt or fat.
They're also a good source of fibre, so leave the skins on where possible, to keep in more of the fibre and vitamins. For example, if you're having boiled potatoes or a jacket potato, make sure you eat the skin too.
To get the most from your five portions, eat a wide variety of fruit and vegetables.

Family of U.S. Student Jailed for Quarantine Violation Pleads for Her Release
22 December 2020 Americas, World News 1 Views
The family of an 18-year-old college student who broke the Cayman Islands' coronavirus laws on a trip last month has pleaded for her release from prison ahead of a hearing on Tuesday before a panel of judges who will decide whether her appeal can proceed.
"She cries, she wants to come home," the student's grandmother, Jeanne Mack, said on NBC's "Today" show on Monday. "She knows she made a mistake. She owns up to that, but she's pretty hysterical right now."
Skylar Mack and her boyfriend, Vanjae Ramgeet, 24, were sentenced to four months in prison after violating the Cayman Island's required 14-day quarantine period for visitors.
In late November, with her semester at Mercer University in Georgia complete, Ms. Mack flew to the Cayman Islands to watch her boyfriend compete in the islands' Jet Ski racing national championship.
When she arrived, however, there was a problem.
She got there on a Friday; the championship was on Sunday. And per the country's laws, she was required to remain in her hotel room for 14 days before going anywhere else on the islands.
To elude the restrictions, Ms. Mack, after receiving a negative coronavirus test, slipped an electronic monitoring bracelet from her wrist and escaped to a beach on Grand Cayman's South Sound, where she saw Mr. Ramgeet win first place.
But the event organizers were notified that Ms. Mack may have been in breach of the rules and the police were called, her lawyer said. Ms. Mack was charged with leaving her home during the quarantine period, and Mr. Ramgeet was charged with aiding and abetting her. They were sentenced to four months in prison for the quarantine breach.
"This was as flagrant a breach as could be imagined," Justice Roger Chapple said in court during the sentencing, according to the Cayman Compass, a news website in the Cayman Islands. "It was born of selfishness and arrogance."
The islands, a British territory of nearly 65,000 residents, have reported 316 infections and two deaths, as of Monday, with no reported cases of local transmission since July. Only people who have been preauthorized to enter the Cayman Islands can travel there, and they must quarantine for 14 days in a government facility, a private facility or at home, if approved.
Upon arrival to the island, visitors receive an electronic smart wristband and are equipped with a cellphone with an app, called Stay Safe Cayman. Using the app, they must log where they are quarantining. Visitors cannot end quarantines until they can show negative results from tests taken on their 15th day on the island, government officials said
Dec. 22, 2020, 5:18 a.m. ET
Ms. Mack's relatives in suburban Atlanta scrambled to pull together letters from friends and family attesting to her character in an effort to get the sentence overturned on appeal, said Jeanne Mack, 68.
Jeanne Mack also wrote to President Trump for help. She received a response from the Office of Presidential Correspondence last week stating that her correspondence had been forwarded "to the appropriate federal agency for further action."
Justice Chapple said last week in court that "the gravity of the breach was such that the only appropriate sentence would have been one of immediate imprisonment," according to the Cayman Compass, a news website in the Cayman Islands.
The family and Skylar, a junior pre-med student, make no illusions about what happened, her grandmother said: What she did was wrong.
"I'll do everything to get you home, and when I get you here, I'm going to kick your butt," Jeanne Mack said. "We're not saying, 'poor, innocent Skylar.' We're simply saying the punishment does not meet the crime."
Skylar Mack and Mr. Ramgeet pleaded guilty to breaking the quarantine rules and were initially sentenced to 40 hours of community service and a fine of 2,600 Cayman Islands dollars (about $3,100). But the punishment was increased last week after the prosecutor appealed, saying the initial sentences were "unduly lenient and wrong in principle."
Jeanne Mack said that if the panel of judges on Tuesday decides that her appeal can proceed, then the family hopes that she will be released on bond pending the appeal.

BC Throne Speech – The First For The New NDP Government
Victoria – The first throne speech under the new NDP government (with minority support from the Greens), reaffirms the election promises made by now Premier John Horgan.
The release from the Province:
"The problems facing people today are the result of past choices, where only a few benefited while families fell further behind," said Premier John Horgan. "Our government will focus its decisions and actions on making life better for people to help families get ahead."
Delivered by Lt.-Gov. Judith Guichon, the throne speech sets the direction of government for the coming legislative session. The Premier says this session will deal with immediate priorities that will help build a government that works for people.
A bill will be put forth this fall to have the madated election date to the fall, possibly October from the current May election date. That said, technically the next provincial election could be October 2021.
The throne speech sets out three priorities for B.C.:
1. Make life more affordable for British Columbians. With action already taken on removing bridge tolls, helping reduce poverty by increasing income assistance and disability rates, and making university and college tuition free for former children in care, the government will move this fall to:
Make housing more affordable by closing fixed-term loopholes on leases to close the door on unfair rent increases and increasing the stock of affordable housing around the province.
Establish a fair wages commission with the goal of delivering a $15-an-hour minimum wage.
Fixing significant problems at ICBC and BC Hydro, while containing costs for British Columbians.
2. Improve services for British Columbians, with action being taken in the coming months to:
Restore proper funding to schools to give students the resources and supports they need to succeed.
Promote and protect quality public health care, including tackling B.C.'s overdose crisis and expanding treatment for people living with addictions.
Get people moving by providing people with disabilities access to the transportation supports they need, including an annual bus pass for those who want one, and working with communities and the federal government on new transit and transportation projects.
3. Help build a strong, sustainable economy, where all British Columbians share in the benefits of the province's resources, innovation and talent by:
Continuing to sustainably support traditional industries, including forestry, mining, agriculture and aquaculture, as well as natural gas development.
Moving to make B.C. a world leader in engineered wood products and value-added resource innovation.
Delivering a new capital investment plan that will focus on building new schools, hospitals, roads and more, and helping to create well-paying jobs throughout the province.

Today, the UK government will publish an amendment to its Digital Economy Bill which may allow a great change in the way the law of copyright operates in the UK.
The government amendment to the 1988 Copyright Designs and Patents Act (pdf) gives Ministers the ability to update the 1988 act without bringing new legislation to parliament. The move, introduced by Lord Mandelson is intended to help prevent illegal downloading of audio, video and imagery from unregulated digital sites and servers.
This is a complex legal area, concerning trade secrets, commercial assets, large and formerly highly profitable businesses and now, the nature of the easily shared information on the internet.
You can read the two sides of the current debate about the government's plans from Stephen Timms (Minister for Digital Britain) and from Rupert Goodwins at ZDNet.
Copyright is only one element of a broader legal idea called Intellectual Property (IP) which also includes commercial Patents, Designs and Trademarks and we thought it was a good time to have a short reminder of what image copyright is about.
The full legal description of copyright can be found at the UK Intellectual Property Office. There's a potted history of where the right came from too.
For visual creatives like Drawnalism, copyright is an automatic right which means it does not need to be applied for – the right is implicit in any original work we make. And it also applies to all these other creative businesses.
When we perform at business events we license the rights to the work we make there to our clients. This allows them to reuse the work afterwards for their own promotional activities without affecting our copyright.
If anyone knows better, or has an experience they would like to share, please do jump into the comments below and tell us about it.


Nestled in the heart of Godspeed You! Black Emperor is a potent mystery. Even as interviews started becoming a fraction of a percent more frequent, the ever-changing collective of Canadian musicians has remained enigmatic, their mythic reputation built on rumors of anarchism and political dissidence. Then, of course, is their music itself, which, with its slow-building crescendos, heartrending emotions and long symphonic movements, positioned the band as one the quintessential post-rock outfits. And just like one of those symphonic movements, GY!BE hit a peak and then faded away, using that word "hiatus," which bands use when they aren't entirely sure what their future holds either. They were a band that seemed to disappear before their time, so when they reunited in 2010 to perform live, fans breathlessly anticipated new material.
In typical GY!BE fashion, their fourth album, 'Allelujah! Don't Bend! Ascend! emerged without fanfare, sold at concerts starting October 1, 2012 before being widely released two weeks later. But given the material, the group's sudden and unconventional release strategy feels more like a way to cover up what often sounds like a holdover album, when it should be a major comeback. 'Allelujah isn't a bad record—it's actually a pretty good one—but it's one that feels slighter and covers considerably less ground than its predecessors. This is a particularly heavy and downcast Godspeed album—even though other instruments are played, the record runs mostly on guitar squall and squealing strings—and because of that, it can sometimes seem stuck in one mode, one that's dark and foreboding. As a result, where GY!BE are usually masters of tension and release, the rise-fall-rise-fall technique doesn't pay as great dividends here as it has in the past since we're rarely taken to new territory.
Individually, the tracks work. The two long-form compositions, which are reworkings of older live material, are appropriately epic: The doomy, metallic "Mladic," rises from dissonant rumbles to overblown Middle Eastern-tinged apocalyptic rock, while "We Drift Like Worried Fire" builds even slower to a rousing climax. Even the two shorter drone pieces, though clearly not the focal point, are well-crafted, particularly "Strung Like Lights At Thee Printemps Erable," which sounds like a decaying recording of a distant explosion. Yet, when these four tracks are placed one after the other, what initially comes off as intense and claustrophobic quickly downshifts to tiresome, diminishing the impact of the compositions and the album as a whole. Some listeners may praise to GY!BE's commitment to tone, but where the frustration on, say, Lift Your Skinny Fists' "Static" seemed visceral and palpable, here it seems tepid and illusory. Nevertheless, 'Allelujah! Don't Bend! Ascend! is still a welcome and intermittently satisfying return from a post-rock giant, and hopefully next time, they will explore a larger variety of textures and moods.

Gabrielle Union Talks Life as a Stepmom, Stuns at 'Breaking In' Premiere (Exclusive)
By Antoinette Bueno 10:50 AM PDT, May 2, 2018
Gabrielle Union has a lot of respect for all of the moms out there.
ET's Courtney Tezeno spoke to the 45-year-old actress at the Breaking In premiere on Tuesday, in which she plays a single mother fighting to protect her two children during a home invasion. In real life, Union is a stepmom to husband Dwyane Wade's three sons.
"You know, I think for all caregivers, we do heroic stuff every day, we just don't get credit for it -- and especially moms, you know, they get celebrated one day out of the year, but they are moving heaven and earth for their kids, and I can't imagine, when your kids' lives are on the line, what a mom would do," she tells ET. "So, I try to bring all of that to this role and try to kick butt the way I see moms kick butt every day."
Union also talked to ET about reprising her Bad Boys role as Special Agent Syd Burnett for the spinoff TV series, L.A.'s Finest, also starring Jessica Alba. As for another iconic role her fans want to see her bring back, she says it's definitely her Bring It On character -- East Compton Clovers cheerleader captain Isis.
"I mean, Isis is still doing cheers somewhere with Kirsten Dunst, probably with a little lower back pain," she cracks. "I'm curious. You know, does she do Pilates now? We don't know. I'm not sure."
All jokes aside, Union has clearly maintained her youthful looks. The actress slayed in high-waist yellow trousers and a turquoise blouse -- both by Marc Jacobs -- while Wade accompanied her, looking handsome in a suit and sneakers.
Union also shared a sweet picture of the couple with her mom on Instagram.
"My mama and my dude. Mi gente," she wrote.
My mama and my dude. Mi gente 💛👑
A post shared by Gabrielle Union-Wade (@gabunion) on May 2, 2018 at 8:59am PDT
Breaking In hits theaters on May 11.
ET spoke to Union in March, when she talked about teaming up with Alba on L.A.'s Finest.
"Me and Jessica are executive producing," she noted. "This is our time! We're ready."

Виоле́тта Влади́мировна Топола́га  (род. в 1935 году во Владивостоке) — преподаватель, , руководитель курса, профессор кафедры актёрского мастерства ВГАИ с 1974 года. Провела 13 актёрских выпусков.

Биография
Родилась и выросла во Владивостоке.
В 1953 году поступила в технологический институт, участвовала в самодеятельности.
По окончании ВУЗа, вернулась во Владивосток. Работала инженером.
Когда объявили о наборе в создаваемый  Дальневосточный государственный институт искусств (театральное отделение организовывал, как и впоследствии в Воронеже, Борис Григорьевич Кульнев из Щукинского училища), прошла творческий конкурс и была принята на курс.
Уже на втором курсе стала заниматься с набранными студентами.
Получив диплом актрисы, выбрала педагогику. Надо сказать, всегда любила возиться с детьми, так что всё сошлось. Теперь убеждёна, что театральный педагог — и есть моё призвание.
Три года работала в Краснодарском институте культуры.
С 1974 года, по приглашению Ольги Ивановны Старостиной, преподаёт в ВГАИ.

Цитаты
 …увидела на трамвайной остановке девушку с чемоданом и сказала ей: «Идите вверх по дороге, там увидите театральный институт, подайте документы в приёмную комиссию. Я вас возьму». По повадке было видно, что она актриса…
 Больше всего не выношу, когда студент пытается получить роль, пороча другого исполнителя, своего товарища, принижая его достоинства. У меня даже был случай, когда я на дипломный спектакль поставила более слабого исполнителя только потому, что второй повёл себя некорректно. Сейчас профессиональной этике не уделяется много внимания, а жаль. Я вот думаю, что у непорядочных людей даже талант со временем испаряется, зависть его как бы съедает…
 Я всё-таки им говорю: «Ищите своего режиссёра!» Или становитесь им сами!

I'm Not a Candidate Blogger…
Filed under: Politics — PolitiCalypso @ 6:43 pm
…and I do not intend to write pieces promoting my chosen candidate or speaking ill of others in the party, but let it go on record that, barring exceptional circumstances, I will be supporting the candidacy of Hillary Clinton for President. I did not do so in 2008, because I was a loyalist of John Kerry (having worked in his office), and I felt that he had been ill-done by some of her people. However, time has healed that wound, and I'm able to look at this with more detachment. My reasoning for this is a little… unconventional, although it probably should not be surprising to anyone who knows me or is familiar with the general thrust of my political thinking these days from reading this blog.
Reason one: I'm supporting her because I do not want to see the Democratic Party primary devolve into a free-for-all to the progressive left. I am emphatically not on board with the tactics and principal objectives of activist progressives these days. I believe in privacy, not just as a matter of law, but as a societal expectation, and progressives absolutely do not. For them, "the personal is political" and every individual action needs to have some kind of "social justice" importance. In the words of George Orwell,
"A Party member is expected to have no private emotions and no respites from enthusiasm. He is supposed to live in a continuous frenzy of hatred of foreign enemies and internal traitors, triumph over victories, and self-abasement before the power and wisdom of the Party."
(This refers very aptly to hardline ideologues of any stripe, incidentally.)
Activist progressives largely focus on personal "thought crimes" (look up the word "microaggression" and read about this progressive-created absurdity if you don't believe me) and private individual behavior rather than workable, constitutionally sound solutions to problems. For instance, the push to shame and punish non-vegans over the carbon footprint of raising livestock—and to institute regressive carbon taxes on individuals who, due to lack of public transit, have no choice but to drive personal vehicles—are great examples. ("They should just move to a big city" is no different from "they should just move to a more gay-accepting community." Not everyone can move, but more to the point, Balkanization along political and demographic lines is not good, people. We all need to be exposed to viewpoints that challenge our own.) If the progressive left has managed to antagonize me—a moderate liberal, climate-change-accepting atmospheric scientist who strongly supports green technology, industrial emissions reduction, and community resilience—you can only imagine how much such proposals antagonize people to my right. Additionally, pretty much every Twitter-shaming campaign of a random formerly private citizen who happened to say something "offensive" was started by the progressive activist left. (I'm not talking about celebrities who made statements in interviews, by the way, but ordinary people posting on their social media accounts.)
They are, in two words, culture warriors just as the social conservative right has been for the past 30+ years. It was polarizing and toxic when the social conservative right focused on private individual behavior, and it is polarizing and toxic now that the social progressive left has started to do it. The Republican Party primary is already turning rapidly into a race to the far right, as a bevy of right-wing candidates enter the race and try to outdo each other in extreme social conservative rhetoric. I do not want to see the Democratic Party doing the same thing but catering to the extreme left, and I think the only real way to prevent this sort of free-for-all is for a candidate to enter who is a towering enough figure in her own right that she doesn't have to rely strictly on a wild-eyed base. It is never a good thing for a political figure to be beholden to one interest group.
The other reason I am supporting Hillary Clinton is that, in the course of my scientific education, I have come to see the value of expertise in any skilled profession. Being a "regular Joe outsider" with no experience in policy or governing is not an intrinsic virtue, and we are seeing that play out in Washington and in state governments now, with a crop of new representatives who ran on a "Main Street" populist campaign platform that presented experience as equivalent to "corruption" or "being part of the problem." They have strong opinions, but they don't understand how things get done and don't care to learn, because they are the virtuous non-politicians (who now hold political office) and they know best. This is why we have gridlock in Congress and an increase in stupid, blatantly unconstitutional bills introduced in state legislatures. It's a destructive, anti-intellectual mindset. Character and skill (at a profession that isn't inherently immoral) are completely distinct and unrelated qualities, and people need to start seeing expertise and "insider" status as a good thing again. House of Cards is fiction, people. Fantasy, even. The real world of politics isn't like that, and having past involvement with it is not a sign of an irretrievably blackened heart.
As it happens, the two problems that I outlined both feed into the problem of increasing political polarization in America. This issue is probably the most important issue to me that is not directly related to science or environmental policy. It is destroying our soul as a nation and seriously damaging our relationships with each other individually. Now, some people might say that Hillary Clinton herself is a polarizing figure. To that I would ask, what national political candidate today isn't? And yet, when she was Secretary of State, she mustered broad support for a political figure, at least in terms of the numbers one can expect these days. I don't expect the 2016 electoral season itself to be less toxic because of her entry. I don't think there's much that anyone can do about that, at least not immediately. That would take a change in political culture, which would take time and an increase in self-awareness among citizen activists that their hardline "my way or the highway" culture-war tactics are contributing to it. But I would like to think that as president, as a civil servant working for America rather than just a candidate, Hillary could usher back in some some of that cross-partisan goodwill that her history demonstrates she can cultivate.

Wherein I Reiterate Something I've Said
I cannot say I'm too happy right now about Arlen Specter's switch to the Democratic Party. Sure, I think it's hilarious, but underneath that, there are implications that trouble me. Although I now consider myself an unaffiliated independent voter, my views are certainly to the left of the Southern majority, so I generally end up voting for Democrats at the national level and I take an interest in what direction the party is moving. As far as that goes, I really don't mind that Specter is a moderate on certain issues, but I am troubled by his (current) refusal to switch his support in favor of the Employee Free Choice Act, a bill that would make it easier for employees to form a union and would give them the right to choose how they wanted to do that. I've come to believe that widespread unionization was a major driving force behind the boom period of the 1950s, in which household wealth (real wealth, not debt) skyrocketed and the country's GDP grew. Unionization levels the playing field significantly in the private sector, taking away the near-absolute power that managers would otherwise have to determine salaries, benefits, and working conditions. EFCA is a good bill and it needs to become law.
Therefore it is my hope that, despite his statements that he will not switch to supporting this bill, Specter does come around. If this happens, I don't think it would be a self-centered political move like this party switch indisputably is. Specter has a very long track record of supporting labor, which is why the unions in Pennsylvania have tended to support his election campaigns. If anything, his statement that he would oppose EFCA was a self-centered political move, a failed Hail Mary pass to try to get him through the Republican primary next year. He may very well decide to support it after all if that is where his true convictions (such as they are) lie. After all, he went on record as saying that he would not switch party affiliation, and look what happened.
In any case, whether Specter switches back on EFCA remains to be seen. I'd tentatively bet on it, but I think it would take time for him to announce that. There are other issues relating to this man's switch, though, that are actually far more troublesome. (Read more…)

Waving the Bloody (Muddy) Shirt
Filed under: Katrina — PolitiCalypso @ 5:13 pm
I have to say, I am not really that surprised to read this. It confirms a feeling I've had for several months now. But lack of surprise does not translate to lack of anger. I wanted to be wrong about this. I wanted this suspicion to be just a product of my own pessimistic nature.
The economic stimulus signed by President Barack Obama will spread billions of dollars across the country to spruce up aging roads and bridges. But there's not a dime specifically dedicated to fixing leftover damage from Hurricane Katrina.
And there's no outrage about it.
Democrats who routinely criticized President George W. Bush for not sending more money to the Gulf Coast appear to be giving Obama the benefit of the doubt in his first major spending initiative. Even the Gulf's fiercest advocates say they're happy with the stimulus package, and their states have enough money for now to address their needs.
Oh, trust me, MSNBC—there is outrage about it. There may not be any in Congress, but that should come as no surprise whatsoever. It's all pretty strong evidence that politicians of either party have basically decided that the Gulf Coast is expendable.
I no longer work for a political party or any public officeholder, so I will say exactly what I think now on this matter. It isn't pretty. (Read more…)

Impact Investing: Make a Difference

Space travel has once again grabbed our attention. The U.S. space agency NASA has just successfully landed the "InSight" probe on Mars. But on occasion it's appropriate to bring the focus back to Earth – from the vantage point of space. Recalling the abortive Apollo 13 space mission in 1970, it's tempting to repeat the comments of the astronauts at the time: "Houston, we have a problem". After an oxygen tank exploded, the crew members showed remarkable nerve and a talent for improvisation, and managed to return to Earth safely. This attitude is worth taking to heart when considering the precarious state of our planet today.
One of the tasks facing the Apollo 13 crew was the repair of the on-board carbon dioxide removal system, which had malfunctioned. It would be nice to have a similar system for our planet today to deal with the rising CO2 concentration in the atmosphere and prevent accelerating climate change. But what other challenges are we currently facing? Here is a short list:
Environment: air pollution causes 9 million deaths and costs 4.6 trillion U.S. dollars every year. Over one billion people live in regions with water scarcity, and this figure is set to rise to around 3.5 billion people by 2025, according to figures from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
Education: the lack of affordable education affects over 1 billion people worldwide, 263 million of them children.
Health: 1.3 billion people worldwide have no access to affordable healthcare according to the World Health Organization (WHO). 11 million people die every year after eating unhealthy or contaminated food, according to a United Nations report.
Poverty: 2 billion adults have no bank account, according to the database Global Findex. Around 815 million people suffer from chronic undernourishment, according to WHO research.
Not everything is as bad as it seems. So how should we tackle such challenges? Investors interested in sustainability are spoilt for choice. There has been a steady increase in the number of listed companies generating attractive returns and "doing good" through their products and services in areas such as healthcare, education, combating poverty and the environment.
Environmental and social protection: marketable solutions needed
Public funding and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) play an important role in tackling environmental and social problems. But corporations with scalable and economically sustainable business models play an equally important role. Obviously they are interested in making a profit, but without their products and services – which ideally should have a positive environmental and social impact – no solution to the problem would be possible. Both now and in future, digitalisation also has a crucial role to play as an accelerator of growth, affordability and efficiency, especially in areas such as the environment, education, healthcare, financial integration and food security for impoverished populations.
For a healthier world: healthcare and prevention
Access to affordable healthcare is being facilitated by greater efficiency, especially through technologies. One effective solution, for example, is telemedicine, where the patient's condition is diagnosed remotely. The service saves time and is available around the clock, whether the patient is at home or travelling. According to Cotiviti, a provider of payment accuracy solutions, the cost savings are around 70% in the USA, for example (40 U.S. dollars compared with 125 on average). This is also a positive sign that high-quality healthcare is affordable for emerging- market countries.
Education: driver for good career prospects
The lack of affordable and quality education undermines the career prospects of pupils from low-income households. But equality does not always have to be expensive. One alternative is to offer study platforms and distance learning as well as educational services such as online homework support and the lending of course books (see chart). This can give financially disadvantaged students access to an excellent education.

Escaping the poverty trap: online payment makes life easier
Around 2 billion adults have either had limited access or no access at all to financial services and rely on the cash economy. At the same time, some 1.6 billion people in developing countries have a mobile phone. This allows them to use a mobile payment system such as M-PESA, which is now available to around 80% of households in Kenya. Many governments across the globe are aware that these new technologies facilitate access to the financial system. They also bring enormous efficiency gains for farmers in remote areas, who with one click can settle their bills or arrange loans online via apps installed on their mobile phone.

Saving the environment: cleaner energy, management of water and waste
Air pollution causes 9 million deaths and costs 4.6 trillion U.S. dollars every year. The level of suffering is too high in many regions. China, for example, wants to invest USD 360 billion up to 2020 in wind and solar energy, in a bid to reduce reliance on coal for power generation. An overriding goal is to use resources more efficiently – not just energy, but also water, for example. Efforts can also be seen to reduce the mountains of trash. Without a well-organised waste disposal solution sustainable development is impossible in the long run.

What food supply chains in Corona times teach us about the climate crisis
Virtually overnight, restaurants, school and company canteens stopped buying from their wholesalers – while supermarket shelves remained empty.

OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) - Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts expressed his disapproval Monday morning of legislation that would tax veterinary services.
Gov. Pete Ricketts joins veterinarians to voice disapproval of an increase in pet healthcare taxes on Monday, April 15, 2019, in Omaha, Nebraska. Rickets said he is against all potential increases in taxes.
Ricketts toured the Veterinary Centers of American and joined with veterinarians to ask lawmakers not to raise taxes.
"We're here today to say keep your paws off of our pet healthcare," he said.
The governor addressed proposals in the legislature that supporters said are needed to balance revenue lost if property tax relief is passed.
Ricketts said no tax increase would help.
"I'm against raising all the taxes. We've done this in the past. When I say we, the legislature has raised taxes in the past and all it has done is led to more spending," he said.
A couple of proposals being considered at the state level would not just increase taxes on pet services in the state, but also on personal storage and ride sharing.
Some say the increases would be passed onto consumers with increased prices.
"We don't need to increase the burden on Nebraska ranchers who are working tirelessly to care for their herds that are part of our national food chain," Dr. Christopher, medical director of VCA Midwest said.
The state senator behind the bill, Tom Briese, said that "expanding our tax base by closing special interest tax exemptions is a reasonable and responsible means of providing property tax relief for hardworking Nebraskans.
There are other proposed changes in sales tax, including removing certain items that are not exempt. They could also increase the state sales tax by half of a percent.


The political parties of this nation have now officially launched their campaigns for the 2017 General Election. Their policies are being proclaimed and their visions for how they see the future of our country, unveiled.
In sound bites, interviews, newspaper articles, leaflets, Party Political broadcasts, Facebook postings, television programmes and tweets, there is no escaping from the unrelenting (and sometimes confusing) propaganda that surrounds us.
Each party is setting out their stall and sharing their hopes, dreams and visions for the next five years.
They vie for our attention even as they do for our vote.
Each party tries to sway us as to why it is important we exercise our democratic right and put an "X" on the ballot paper on June 8th against the name of their party's candidate.
All of this is of course, summed up in their party manifesto — that collection of policies and goals that they hope will enthuse people to vote for them and which will hold them accountable to the general public whilst in office if they happen to succeed next month.
The manifesto is saying in effect, this is who we are, this is what we are about, these are our values and this is what we will do.
In Luke's Gospel chapter 4, we find Jesus doing something very similar at the beginning of his public ministry. Verses 16-20 often referred to as the "Nazareth Manifesto", show him setting out his stall, saying what he is about, what he sees as being important and the role that he is going to fulfill.
Unlike with many politicians, there was no discrepancy between what he said and what he did — his actions fulfilled his words and his deeds his promises.
Who we vote for is the big question and ultimately it is up to each and every one of us to make that decision as we see best.
Within our Churches and faith groups, just as in Parliament, there will be Christians aligning themselves with the various political parties.
I guess that whatever party we eventually support, it is the one who for us, most closely aligns itself with the words Jesus proclaimed in the synagogue in Nazareth; "'The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favour."

Offshore Wind in the DMV
Power from beyond the Beltway
Share your support for offshore wind with your network.
Capitolize On Offshore Wind Power
Our Nation's capital is one of the most powerful cities in the world, where everyone is plugged in and politically engaged. Ørsted looks forward to working with the District to generate the kind of power that comes naturally, to make the city completely neutral – carbon neutral, that is.
The District has laid out a bold, innovative plan to address the climate change our world faces, and it's a vision we share. The city has already made great progress on clean energy and set goals to be 100% renewable by 2032 and carbon neutral by 2050.
As the world leader in offshore wind, we're here to support that ambitious goal. We operate America's first offshore wind farm, and power millions of homes with clean energy worldwide, and we're just getting started.
Together, we can power tens of thousands of DC homes with reliable, cost-effective clean energy, help create green jobs in the region, and work toward our shared goal of a world that runs entirely on green energy.
DC will be powered by 100% renewable energy by 2032
Taking the actions laid out in this Clean Energy DC plan will make Washington, DC more innovative, sustainable, and resilient, and together, we can build a cleaner, stronger, and more equitable future for our city and our global community.
– Mayor Muriel Bowser

Offshore wind is rapidly growing in the DMV. Maryland and Virginia have both set ambitious carbon reduction targets and declared offshore wind to be critical in achieving these goals. Over the next fifteen years, the DMV will be powered by at least 7GW of offshore wind.
Ørsted is proud to be developing projects in both states and creating thousands of good-paying jobs in Main Street communities throughout the region. The Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind project is on track to be the MidAtlantic's first offshore wind farm, and Maryland's Skipjack Wind Farm will generate clean, renewable energy for over 35,000 homes in the region.

America's leading offshore wind developer
We own and operate America's first and only offshore wind farm – Block Island Wind Farm. We have real know-how from being the first in the nation to successfully build an offshore wind farm. And we're especially proud that, in addition to Rhode Island, the states of New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, Maryland, and Virginia have entrusted us to deliver their first offshore wind projects.

Block Island Wind Farm
Block Island Wind Farm in Rhode Island is America's first and currently only offshore wind farm. The 30MW, 5-turbine project began commercial operations in December 2016 and generates enough energy to power 17,000 homes. The island, that was previously powered by 5 diesel generators which burned over 1 million gallons of fuel every year, is now powered entirely by offshore wind.
The project connects Block Island to the mainland grid for the first time. The wind farm provides reliable, renewable energy reduces the island's electricity rates while diversifying Rhode Island's power supply.
Block Island has created a brand-new industry in Rhode Island, putting people to work building and maintaining renewable energy projects that will power the region's future. All told, more than 300 local workers were involved with building the Block Island Wind Farm. Deepwater Wind used four Rhode Island ports – Block Island, Galilee, Quonset Point and ProvPort – to complete construction and staging.
The Block Island Wind Farm will lower carbon dioxide emissions by 40,000 tons each year. That's 800,000 tons over 20 years – the equivalent of taking over 150,000 cars off the road!

James Monroe expressed his thoughts on how foreign policy should be conducted at his seventh annual message to Congress on December 2, 1823. His words are considered an essential part of America's political history and became known as "the Monroe Doctrine."
The political system of the allied powers is essentially different in this respect from that of America. This difference proceeds from that which exists in their respective Governments; and to the defense of our own, which has been achieved by the loss of so much blood and treasure, and matured by the wisdom of their most enlightened citizens, and under which we have enjoyed unexampled felicity, this whole nation is devoted. We owe it, therefore, to candor and to the amicable relations existing between the United States and those powers to declare that we should consider any attempt on their part to extend their system to any portion of this hemisphere as dangerous to our peace and safety.
Our policy in regard to Europe, which was adopted at an early stage of the wars which have so long agitated that quarter of the globe, nevertheless remains the same, which is, not to interfere in the internal concerns of any of its powers; to consider the government de facto as the legitimate government for us; to cultivate friendly relations with it, and to preserve those relations by a frank, firm, and manly policy, meeting in all instances the just claims of every power, submitting to injuries from none.

The Struggle for the Soul of Health Insurance

Deborah A. Stone; The Struggle for the Soul of Health Insurance. J Health Polit Policy Law 1 April 1993; 18 (2): 287–317. doi: https://doi.org/10.1215/03616878-18-2-287
The politics of American health insurance is a struggle over which vision of distributive justice should govern: the solidarity principle or the logic of actuarial fairness. Actuarial fairness is central to American private health insurance. It is both an antiredistributive ideology and a method of organizing mutual aid by fragmenting communities into ever-smaller, more homogeneous groups, leading ultimately to the destruction of mutual aid. This fragmentation is accomplished by fostering in people a sense of their differences and their responsibility for themselves, rather than their commonalities and interdependence. Actuarial fairness developed as a business strategy for gaining market share. Medical underwriting, which is far more extensive than commonly known, is the information technology used for implementing actuarial fairness. Despite significant changes in the political context of health insurance which are leading toward restraints on underwriting, the logic of actuarial fairness is so deeply embedded in the structure of competitive markets in insurance and so deeply consonant with social divisions in American society that eradicating it will take more than any current reform proposals contemplate.

2007 The 6 Insurrections (Insurgency)
LastDayWatchers the May 15th Prophecy that started on that day has correctly directed you to the truth of what is going on in the world today and what will ultimately happen in the not too distant future.
Base on some of your email to sent me I see you are beginning to see the true meaning of God Word of prophecy, you now know that the false prophecy of Gog and Magog (namely an allegiance of Russia and Iran and some Arab satellites) is a false direction to "watch" spawn by false prophets who come in as sheep but are really ravenous wolfs. prophesied in Matthew chapter 24 verse 10
"At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, and many false prophets will appear and deceive MANY people."
Today like no other day you see the MANY being deceived by the millions of book being sold by false prophets like (Hal Lindsey, John Woolvard, Tim LaHaye, John Hagee, Jack Van Empee and Joel Rosenberg, Benny Hin…ect) just to name a few, even though not a single one of their prophecy has come to pass even, yet they rake in million to go to seminars to give "their opinion" on false interpretation just as the bible predicted
Therefore give thank to our Father that is has bless us to see because we are "watching" the truth and are not deceived by the lies of the false prophets, but rather we know the truth and can call out with confidence Iran is the little horn that uproot 3 horns which will be Iraq, Lebanon and Syria and we can see this uprooting happening today right before our eyes because we know God word is "Forever Settled in Heaven" and this the time spoken of by the prophets of old.
LastDayWatchers this uprooting that will lead to the beastly kingdom reign during the great tribulation is the 5th Insurrection (Insurgency)
"The dragon gave the beast his power and his throne and great authority."
It is The 5th of 6 Insurrections (Insurgency) the Dragon has inspired in his fruitless attempts to become like the Highest God, exemplified by the word of Isaiah 14:14
"I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Highest"
Therefore Last Day Watchers it is important to know of his 6 Insurrections (insurgency), to give you more knowledge of the 5th which is occurring in our time right before our eyes to those of us who "watch"
God has, therefore, bless me to be his Watchman and God spoke saying
"Write down the revelation and make it plain on tablets so that a herald may run with it. For the revelation awaits an appointed time; it speaks of the end and will not prove false. Though it lingers, wait for it."
I, therefore, inform you of all 6 Insurrections (Insurgency) noted below to make plain of the 5th the world about to experience, they are
Insurrection (Insurgency) #1 "The Angelic Rebellion"
Satan, then called Lucifer, God most Anointed Cherubim Angel was given the prestigious and high honor of leading the songs of praise to the Highest, whenever the Son of God gather themselves to meet at the headquarters of the universe call the Earth that the Most High God created. And all the Sons of Gog shouted for Joy
It was then After leading with a beautiful voice the national anthem if you will, a song of praise to God, that upon hearing the applauses he drew from the excellence of his voice he began to say in his heart
"I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the utmost heights of the sacred north mountain."
"I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Highest."
And he conspired with a 3rd of the heavenly host in heaven that they can, by a grand allegiance, to takeover the universe and rule, then darkness began to invade the universe because before then there was only light and more light and light upon the light that made up the universe.
Satan thought he could approach the throne of the Highest with a 3rd of his creation, surmising that the Most High would not destroy his own creation that he had made immortal, and he could sit above him.
But the Lord of Host indeed with a strong hand had Michael and his Angels to bind most of the 3rd of Satan's Angels and placed some in Black holes, some into the pits under the earth and various planets, and some into the sockets of the universe
Nevertheless, The Highest suffered no one to bind Lucifer (who he now called Satan) and a few of his Angels but allowed them complete access to all of the heavens to allow his continued rebellion to play out.
One Insurrection (Insurgency) is gone, but five more are yet to follow.
Insurrection (Insurgency) #2 "The Caveman Rebellion"
Satan having complete access to the heavens saw the promise of God message in the stars and about the coming glory of the Son of Man, so he began to think that he could beat God to the punch and have men worship him, so he began to take the elements of the dust of the earth, and began to create himself the man like creatures (caveman) who had no soul but were the beast of men.
Also, he created hideous creatures and profane beasts called dinosaurs and he said "I will take this society that I created and I will be like the Highest"
But the Lord of Host indeed with a strong hand said to Michael the Arch Angel to throw a comet at the earth to destroy the society Satan had built, and then Michael threw the comet at the Earth to fulfill the scripture in Genesis 1 verse 2
"The earth became a desolation and a waste"
and was
"without form and void"
After the comet destroyed Satan evil society darkness was over the face of the deep and the spirit of God hovers over depths and he began to recreate the earth that Satan had mess up and made profane, And in six-day he recreated it and made the man out of the dust and breath into him a soul like himself to replenish the Earth.
Two Rebellions are done, but four remain
Insurrection (Insurgency #3) "The Nephilim Reprobate Rebellion"
Satan seeing his false attempt at creating man (which had no soul and was no man, but were cavemen) was thwarted, began to think cunningly "I will merge myself with the man created by the Highest God "
When the Highest God called Enoch the 7th from Adam to build him a Alter for a Sign and a Witness to the glory of the coming of the Son of Man, so he gave him a construction crew of heavenly Angels whom Satan infiltrated and inspire to commit fornication with the daughter of men in a attempt to not only merge with the man created by the Highest, But to also produce a son he could claim to be the Glory of the Son of Man.
Jude wrote concerning Enoch in Jude 1 verse 14
"Now Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied these men also, saying, "Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of His saints, 15to execute judgment on all, to convict all who are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have committed in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him."
The good and faithful Jude wrote that to give testimony to what Enoch had written in his book (The Book of Enoch) about the coming of the Highest with his saints and to give a truthful witness of Enoch who wrote about Satan in his attempt to merge with man, here is a example of that Construction Crew of Heavenly Angels Enoch chapter 6 verse 1-8
Verse.1 "And it came to pass when the children of men had multiplied that in those days were born unto"
Verse.2 " them beautiful and comely daughters. And the angels, the children of the heaven, saw and lusted after them, and said to one another: 'Come, let us choose us wives from among the children of men"
Verse.3 " and beget us, children.' And Semjaza, who was their leader, said unto them: 'I fear ye will not "
Verse.4 "indeed agree to do this deed, and I alone shall have to pay the penalty of a great sin.' And they all answered him and said: 'Let us all swear an oath and all bind ourselves by mutual imprecations"
Verse.5 "not to abandon this plan but to do this thing.' Then sware they all together and bound themselves"
Verse.6 " by mutual imprecations upon it. And they were in all two hundred; who descended in the days of Jared on the summit of Mount Hermon, and they called it Mount Hermon because they had sworn"
Verse.7 "and bound themselves by mutual imprecations upon it. And these are the names of their leaders: Samlazaz, their leader, Araklba, Rameel, Kokablel, Tamlel, Ramlel, Danel, Ezeqeel, Baraqijal,"
Verse.8 "Asael, Armaros, Batarel, Ananel, Zaq1el, Samsapeel, Satarel, Turel, Jomjael, Sariel. These are their chiefs of tens"
When Enoch had lived 65 years, he became the father of Methuselah who God had said when he dies the end will come this was the meaning of his name which shows a picture of God patience and long-suffering in that the person he was using to determine when his destruction of men by the flood would come, turn out to be the very man who would live longer than any man in history.
And Methuselah begat Lamech and Lamech begat Noah, and so it was during this time that Satan also went into the daughters of men to produce himself a son to usurp God Anointed.
But God indeed with a strong hand said to Micheal in Enoch chapter 10 verse 11-15
Verse.11 "And the Lord said unto Michael: 'Go, bind Semjaza and his associates who have united themselves with women so as to have defiled themselves"
Verse.12 " with them in all their uncleanness. And when their sons have slain one another, and they have seen the destruction of their beloved ones, bind them fast for seventy generations in the valleys of the earth, till the day of their judgment and of their consummation, till the judgment that is"
Verse.13 "forever and ever is consummated. In those days they shall be led off to the abyss of fire: and"
Verse.14 " to the torment and the prison in which they shall be confined forever. And whosoever shall be condemned and destroyed will from thenceforth be bound together with them to the end of all"
Verse.15 "generations. And destroy all the spirits of the reprobate and the children of the Watchers, because"
Verse.16 "they have wronged mankind. Destroy all wrong from the face of the earth and let every evil work come to an end: and let the plant of righteousness and truth appear: and it shall prove a blessing; the works of righteousness and truth' shall be planted in truth and joy for evermore."
And the flood destroyed all that was on the earth he had recreated, except the eight who were with Noah inside the Ark for righteousness to be plated through the coming seed of David.
The third Rebellion has been crushed but now come 3, more which shall appear
Insurrection (Insurgency) #4 "The Nimrod and the Tower of Babylon Rebellion"
Satan having seen his Angelic rebellion exterminated, and then his attempt to create man annihilated, then his attempt to merge with the man and the promised seed destroyed, he then began to unite man as one, to convince them as one, to see no need for the message in the star and the promise of the Son of Man.
Satan figure he certainly got it this time, that the highest would not destroy man this time without the merging and angel, and also coming on the heel of having just destroying man,
Surely he could not bring himself to destroy man again.
So he tempted Nimrod to led the people to learn the knowledge of the stars and to become one people with the same language to live in knowledge and unity with pride
To think of themselves as needing nothing, and being like the Gods, and having no need for the Son of Man.
Then Satan tempted Nimrod to led the people with one voice to unite against God
And the Lord of Host indeed with a strong hand said "I will not destroy man whom I just destroyed" so the Lord of Host said to the Son of Man. In Genesis chapter 11 verse 5
"If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other "
The 4th rebellion has been scattered but 2 more are violently approaching
The 5th Insurrection (Insurgency) "The Great Tribulation Rebellion"
Satan had tried with the Angels, then with his own creation, of trying to be "like the Highest", then trying to sneak in the back door by merging Angel with the man, then at the last he tried to united man against God.
But now he will combine all of his failed Insurrection (Insurgency) into one, by
Combining all of his past methods into one.
By combing of these methods, he will cause great distress to the point the Bible says concerning the approaching tribulation in Matthew chapter 24 verse 21
"For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now–and never to be equaled again"
The Angel rebellion will be there to fulfill Revelation Chapter 12 verse 9
"The great dragon was hurled down–that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him."
The Caveman rebellion and the spirit the false creation will be there
"He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed."
The Nephilim reprobate rebellion and the spirit and the offspring of the merging angel with man will be there to fulfill Revelation chapter 9 verse 8-11
"Their hair was like women's hair, and their teeth were like lions' teeth. They had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the thundering of many horses and chariots rushing into battle. They had tails and stings like scorpions, and in their tails, they had the power to torment people for five months. They had as king over them the angel of the Abyss, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek, Apollyon"
The Nimrod and the Tower of Babylon and the spirit of uniting the people against God will be there to fulfill Revelation chapter 16 verse 14
"They are spirits of demons performing miraculous signs, and they go out to the kings of the whole world, to gather them for the battle on the great day of God Almighty"
But God Lord indeed with a Strong hand will fulfill Revelation chapter 19 verses 15-16
"He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: King of Kings and Lord of Lords."
The 5th rebellion is defeated and there is one to go
Insurrection (Insurgency) #6 "the Millennium Kingdom Gog and Magog Rebellion"
After Satan has been shut up for 1000 years, God will let him loose for a "little season" to prove once and for all that the fall of man and all spirits as nothing to do with the sin of the world, because the millennium kingdom society will not have the temptations and failing of all the previous society
They will have the righteous King David sitting on the throne in the holy city Jerusalem, being taught God word correctly by all those who rule and reign with The Christ, in perfect love and peace amongst the nations.
And still, after 1000 years of such a Kingdom, Satan will still be able to deceive the nations Gog and Magog Alliance and gather the people to turn on God to the point noted in Revelation chapter 20 verse 8-9
"In number, they are like the sand on the seashore. They marched across the breadth of the earth surrounded the camp of God's people, the city he loves"
But God indeed with a strong hand responds in Revelation 20 verse 9
"But fire came down from heaven and devoured them."

The Tate is building two new galleries. 'We need now to look at our communications', says communications director Damien Whitmore.
The current identity by Pentagram 'has been incredibly successful', says Whitmore. 'We may go back to Pentagram to move the identity on, or get a new identity,' he adds.
Wolff Olins' report is due out in mid-October.
