Perry Barr Stadium (also known as Perry Barr Greyhound Stadium and previously as Alexander Sports Ground(s)) is a greyhound racing and motorcycle speedway stadium on Aldridge Road in Perry Barr, Birmingham, England. The track is operated by the Arena Racing Company (ARC), who lease it from owners the National Asset Management Agency. Racing takes place every Saturday evening, in addition to their four ARC fixtures.

Opened in 1929, it was built for Birchfield Harriers, who left in 1977. It is now used for greyhound racing and speedway. It is not to be confused with the Birchfield Ladbroke Stadium that is also known as the old Perry Barr Stadium which closed in 1984.

Location

The stadium is opposite the former Birmingham City University main campus and close to (and served by) Perry Barr railway station. It sits in the fork of the A34 Walsall Road (to its West) and the A453 Aldridge Road. The River Tame flows northwards between the stadium and the A34.

Birchfield Harriers
The stadium was originally constructed for an athletics club, Birchfield Harriers who held its opening ceremony on 27 July 1929, having purchased the land on 11 November 1926. The façade still carries their badge, a running stag, rendered in Art Deco style bas relief, carved in 1929 and attributed to William Bloye. The site was formerly a rubbish tip, chiefly for fly ash from a local power station.

Birchfield Cycling Club used the venue for cycle races, and, from the mid-1930s, the cycle track outside the running lanes was used by the Sunbac Speedway Club for dirt-track racing (speedway). In the 1930s and 40s, Aston Villa Football Club's second and third teams trained at the stadium.

Soon after the start of World War II, the stadium was requisitioned by the government and used by the Home Guard. Later in the war it was used to accommodate Italian prisoners of war; the last of these did not leave until January 1946 and the club only returned to the stadium the following month. Shortly afterwards, the club hired out the stadium on Saturday evenings, to Birmingham Speedway. Floodlighting was installed to facilitate the latter,  and this allowed for the first floodlit athletics meeting ever held in the United Kingdom, in September 1948, after the lights had been turned on near the end of an earlier meeting, which had overrun into dusk. Floodlit horse jumping competitions were also held.

On 29 May 1954 Diane Leather became the first woman to run a mile in less than 5 minutes, during the Midlands Women's AAA Championships at the ground.

In 1977, their centenary year, Birchfield Harriers moved to the newly built Alexander Stadium, nearby, and the old venue was renamed "Perry Barr Stadium".

Speedway
The stadium is also the home of the Birmingham Brummies speedway team. The stadium was expanded in 2007 to facilitate a speedway track. The shale track is  in length.

In 2008 the Stadium hosted the Elite League Riders Championship. It was won by Australian Jason Crump. In 2009 a round of the British Sidecar Speedway Championship took place at the Stadium, which was won by Rod Winterburn and Gareth Winterburn.

Greyhound Racing

Origins & Opening
Perry Barr had been without greyhound racing since 1984 following the surprise sale by Ladbrokes and subsequent demolition of the old Perry Barr stadium on Walsall Road, and known latterly as the Birchfield Ladbroke Stadium. However during 1990 negotiations started with the aim to re-introduce the sport at the Alexander Sports Ground across the other side of the A34. The stadium was no longer used for athletics because the new Alexander Stadium Stadium in Perry Park was serving this purpose. Maurice Buckland a former trainer and head of a consortium called the Perry Barr Greyhound Racing Club suggested the idea of greyhound racing at the venue it was given planning permission.

The new build was completed quickly and the new stadium opened on 16 October attracting trainers the calibre of Geoff DeMulder who guided Fearless Mustang to the 1991 English Greyhound Derby final as a Perry Barr trainer during the first Derby tilt for the new track.

The circumference of the track was 435 metres with wide straights and bends and race distances of 275, 460, 500, 660, 710 and 895 metres. An 'Outside Sumner' hare was used on Tuesday and Thursday race nights overseen by Racing Manager Gary Woodward. There were kennels for 82 hounds on site.
A former trainer from the previous Perry Barr called Frank Baldwin took over as Racing Manager in 1991.

Recent History & GRA takeover
A major race called the Birmingham Cup was held at Perry Barr until 2009 and it also hosted the original classic race the Scurry Gold Cup from 2005-2008. Another Perry Barr hound called Heres Seanie (trained by Pat Ryan) reached the 1995 English Greyhound Derby final and Racing Managers included Ian Hillis and Tim Hales.

The Greyhound Racing Association (GRA) under their parent company Wembley plc planned to build a track in Liverpool and acquire Perry Barr. The former did not materialise but in May 2005 a £4.2 million takeover was agreed with the Perry Barr Greyhound Racing Club. Stephen Rea and Gary Woodward were brought in as the General and Racing Manager. After initial investment into the stadium the GRA brought the former classic race the Scurry Gold Cup to the track following the closure of Catford Stadium. The stadium hosted two trainers championships in 2005 and 2012 and inbetween the Scurry was moved to sister track Belle Vue Stadium but the rekindled Birmingham Cup was discontinued in 2009 leaving Perry Barr with no major event of note.

The track today uses an 'Outside Swaffham' hare and is a regular on the Bookmakers Afternoon Greyhound Service (BAGS) overseen by Racing Manager Martin Seal.

In recent years the GRA, under new parent company Risk Capital, ran into financial difficulties and unpaid loans resulted in NAMA (Ireland's National Asset Management Agency) taking control of the GRA. In 2013 an agreement was brokered securing the use of the stadium by the GRA until at least 2026 from parent company NAMA; and as Perry Barr has since become the only remaining GRA stadium not to be sold to other commercial investors by NAMA it remains the most secure stadium still operating under the GRA banner.

In 2017 the stadium was awarded the prestigious St Leger after it switched from sister track Wimbledon. One year later in 2018 the stadium signed a deal with ARC to race on Monday, Thursday and Saturday lunchtimes and Sunday afternoon.

ARC takeover
In October 2019 GRA Acquisition sold the lease to the Arena Racing Company

In 2021 the stadium was given the prestigious Laurels and Oaks and now holds four of the original classic races the St Leger, Laurels, Oaks and Scurry Gold Cup.

Happy Labor Day to you all. Hoping you can blur that line of work and play as often as possible. Enjoy what you do and what you do will bring happiness to others but for today, enjoy taking a break and play!!
Our Lovely Beach Yoga Classes are coming to a close. We will have class on the beach this week and next week at 630pm if weather allows. Evening class will resume on Wednesday, 9/21 715 to 830pm.
Abundance is always within in us. Be still for a moment and just listen; see if you can tune in and feel all of that energy. Abundance is not necessarily what we have or what we achieve but a feeling of deep satisfaction and meaning in the everyday moments. Notice when you measure your "abundance" from your ego self; based on what others are doing, what you have or what you do. True, lasting abundance is actually what is coming from you, not what is coming TO you. Your dharma, or life's purpose is how you use your unique talents to serve others with an effortless passion, generosity and joy. Abundance is not something we acquire. It is something we tune into. When you tap into this inner abundance you will know it, and others will know it because it will naturally become a flowing stream pouring into everything you touch.
Beach Yoga 645pm with Live Music Tonight!
As the Beach Yoga Season is beginning to wind down (Only a few more weeks left of sunlight), we are having a special treat tonight! Michael Smith and friends will be joining us with live musical accompaniment! (Bring a friend and come two for $25) Class Cards always honored.
Class begins at 645pm as the sun (surya) begins to set at 736pm. Experiencing all the colors and beauty of the sun after it sinks into the water reminds me of feeling the beautiful, vibrational echo of a yoga pose after we let it go! There is much beauty in the letting go.
Please arrive a before 645 so we can promptly head down to the sand. We won't want to miss a moment!
Thursday, August 4th at 730pm – Restorative Yoga, Reiki & Acupuncture with Essential Oils Summer Session – Spots are going fast, if you have reserved a spot, please get your pre-payment in as soon as you can. Contact me for details. Click on https://myyogawithamy.com/eventsworkshops/ for more info.
Yoga and Kayaking Trip – Stay Tuned for Details in the next day or two!!
"Yoga cultivates the ways of maintaining a balanced attitude in day to day life and endows skill in the performance of one's actions". I love this quote from the late, great BKS Iyengar. Maintaining a balanced attitude in day to day life is not as easy as it sounds. Situations, events, people and even our own minds can throw us out of balance leading us to act in, shall I say, less than skillful ways. The great news is that we have ways to return to equanimity and integrity. Just as if we are coming into a yoga pose, we can breath, feel, relax and realign to what is true, right and integral in the moment. Even if we have to stop and realign a thousand times a day, this is the practice and this is living your yoga. May you allow it to guide you through this day!!
Let us meditate on the light of the sun, which shines on all living things and everything in between. Let this pure light of intelligence illuminate our intellects so that we may make the right decisions at the right time for the good of all. Let there be peace, and peace and perfect peace everywhere!
Hoping this email finds you safe, content and free!
Chanting the Gayatri Mantra, specifically in increments of 108 (sacred number), brings about calm, focus and sends intelligent energy out into the world. We will be chanting this mantra at 915am before the start of our asana class to help raise the vibration in and around us.

Hernias are most commonly located in the groin or umbilical region. However, hernias may occur in any location in the abdomen. Many patients self-diagnose their hernias.
Swelling or bulge beneath abdominal or groin skin. The bulge may disappear when lying down.
Pain or discomfort in the area of the bulge.
Limited ability to perform strenuous tasks.
When you feel these symptoms, you should contact your doctor. The doctor will perform a physical exam to determine if a hernia is present. The exam is usually performed in a standing position. The patient is asked to cough while the physician determines if a bulge or swelling is present. If the physician is unable to make the determination, then the physician may request an x-ray, such as an ultrasound, CT scan, or MRI.
Only your doctor or hernia surgeon can properly diagnose your signs and symptoms to determine whether or not they are indeed hernia related.

← GOD'S PREDESTINATION
FALSE PROPHETS AND FALSE PASTORS →
ADOLF HITLER OF GERMANY
Adolf Hitler of Germany was a typical example of man who lived by violence, and died by violence. He massacred millions of Jews among other atrocities. He plunged the world into Second World War, in which millions of people died; and subsequent partitioning of Germany. Whatsoever one does on earth, whether good or bad, there is always a payback day.
Dictator Adolf Hitler was born in Braunau am Inn, Austria, near German border, on April 20, 1889, and was the fourth of six children born to Alois Hitler and Klara Polzl. When Hitler was 3 years old, the family moved from Austria to Germany. As a child, Hitler clashed frequently with his father. Nationalism became the motivating force of Hitler's life.
Hitler's father was the illegitimate child of a cook named (Maria Anna) Schicklegruber. This cook, the grandmother of Adolf Hitler, was working for a Jewish family named Frankenberger, when she became pregnant. Frankenberger paid Schicklegruber, a paternity allowance from the time of the child's birth up to his fourteenth year.
Adolf Hitler rose to power in German politics, as leader of the National Socialist German Workers Party, otherwise known as the Nazi Party. He was chancellor of Germany from 1933 to 1945, and served as dictator within that period. His policies engendered World War II and the Holocaust.
Hitler was saddened by the collapse of the war effort. This reinforced his passionate German patriotism, and he was shocked by Germany's surrender in 1918. Like other German nationalists, he believed that the German army had been betrayed by civilian leaders and Marxists. He found the Treaty of Versailles degrading, particularly the demilitarization of the Rhineland and the stipulation that Germany accept responsibility for starting the war.
Hitler announced commencement of national revolution and declared the formation of a new Government. After a short struggle including 20 deaths, the coup, known as the "Beer Hall Putsch," failed.
Hitler was arrested few days later and tried for high treason. He served a year in prison, during which time he dictated most of the first volume of Mein Kampf ("My Struggle") to his deputy, Rudolf Hess. The book laid out Hitler's plans for transforming German society into one based on race.
Hitler used his position as chancellor to form a de facto legal dictatorship. He suspended basic rights and allowed detention without trial. Hitler also engineered the passage of the Enabling Act, which gave his cabinet full legislative powers for a period of four years and allowed deviations from the constitution.
As head of state, Hitler became supreme commander of the armed forces. He began to mobilize for war. Germany withdrew from the League of Nations, and Hitler announced a massive expansion of Germany's armed forces.
The Holocaust was also conducted under the auspices of racial hygiene. Between 1939 and 1945, Nazis and their collaborators were responsible for the deaths of 11 million to 14 million people, including about 6 million Jews, representing two-thirds of the Jewish population in Europe. Deaths took place in concentration and extermination camps and through mass executions. Other persecuted groups included Poles, communists, homosexuals, Jehovah's Witnesses and trade unionists, among others. Hitler probably never visited the concentration camps and did not speak publicly about the killings.
On September 1, 1938, Germany invaded Poland. In response, Britain and France declared war on Germany. Hitler escalated his activities in 1940, invading Norway, Denmark, France, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Belgium. Hitler ordered bombing raids on the United Kingdom, with the goal of invasion. Germany's formal alliance with Japan and Italy, known collectively as the Axis powers, was signed to deter the United States from supporting and protecting the British.
On December 7, 1941 Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. Hitler was now at war against a coalition that included the world's largest empire (Britain), the world's greatest financial power (the U.S.) and the world's largest army (the Soviet Union).
Facing these odds, Hitler's military judgment became increasingly erratic. Germany's military and economic position deteriorated along with Hitler's health. Germany and the Axis could not sustain Hitler's aggressive and expansive war. In late 1942, German forces failed to seize the Suez Canal. The German army also suffered defeats at the Battle of Stalingrad and the Battle of Kursk. On June 6, 1944, the Western Allied armies landed in northern France. As a result of these significant setbacks, many German officers concluded that defeat was inevitable and that Hitler's denial would result in the destruction of the country.
By early 1945, Hitler realized that Germany was going to lose the war. The Soviets had driven the German army back into Western Europe, and the Allies were advancing into Germany. On April 29, 1945, Hitler married his girlfriend, Eva Braun, in a small civil ceremony in his Berlin bunker. Around this time, Hitler was informed of the assassination of Italian dictator Benito Mussolini. Afraid of falling into the hands of enemy troops, Hitler and Braun committed suicide the day after their wedding, on April 30, 1945. Their bodies were carried to the bombed-out garden behind the Reich Chancellery, where they were burned. Berlin fell on May 2, 1945. Five days later, on May 7, 1945, Germany surrendered unconditionally to the Allies.
Hitler's political program had brought about a world war, leaving behind a devastated and impoverished Eastern and Central Europe, including Germany. His policies inflicted human suffering on an unprecedented scale and resulted in the death of an estimated 40 million people, including about 27 million in the Soviet Union. Hitler's defeat marked the end of a phase of European history dominated by Germany, and the defeat of fascism. A new ideological global conflict, the Cold War, emerged in the aftermath of World War II.
At the Potsdan Conference (17th July to August 1945), after Germany unconditional surrender on May 8, 1945, the allies divided "Occupation Zone Germany" into four military occupation zones—France in the Southwest; Britain in the northwest; United Stated in South; and Soviet Union in the East.
AUTHORITARIAN RULERS
Authoritarian rulers and sit-tight dictators who perpetuate themselves in power by systematic suppression and killing of political opponents, other ethnic groups like Hitler, shall never know peace. They are the root cause of unrest and wars in their countries. They spend a lot on military hardware, arms and ammunition. Billions and trillions of dollars, are being spent to sustain wars against rebels or militants; and invariably to sustain authoritarian and other evil rulers.
Services of foreign troops and mercenaries are engaged, yet the rebellion persists. At a stage, it will appear as if all the rebels have been wiped out by Government forces, with help of foreign allies. But suddenly, the rebels will resurface to wreck more havoc: killing, burning houses, and destructing infrastructures. And the vicious circle continues!
God Almighty created this world in such a way that, whatsoever a man does, whether good or evil, there is a payback time. It's like sowing a seed. If he 'sows' in good deeds, he shall surely harvest good deeds. On the other hand, if he sows evil, it will surely come back to him someday. It will boomerang on him.
The righteous is like a tree planted by the rivers of water. Blessed is the man that walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law does he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he does shall prosper– Psalm 1-3.
The evil doers or law breakers, shall never have rest of mind. Apart from suffering the consequences of their actions, God uses law-enforcement agents to deal with them. Somebody who sheds innocent blood, get involved in armed robberies, or other heinous crimes, shall one day face wrath of the law, or God's visitations here on earth. They shouldn't forget God's injunction that bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days. He who sheds blood shall have his own blood shed by man.
He said, as the partridge sits on eggs, and hatches them not so he that acquire riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end shall be a fool. He that rewards good with evil, evil shall never depart from his household. Evils that men do live with them.
Biblical King David, during his life time, committed adultery and subsequently murder. He lay with another man's wife, and caused the husband to be killed in a battle front. Within few years, God visited his atrocities. Acts of rape and adultery were recorded in his household. The LORD temporarily removed him from his throne, and restored him later after allowing him to pass through hardships and humiliations. His own son tried unsuccessfully to overthrow him. God said to him, "INhed innocent blood, swords shall never depart from your household."
Instances abound in this world where dictators and other evil doers, reap the fruits of their wickedness. Remember Samuel Doe of Liberia, who butchered his fellow human being alive. At God's appointed time, He allowed some persons to butcher him alive as well. He paid him back in his own coin.
RE-UNION OF FATHER AND SON
It happened that a certain man impregnated a girl. He vehemently denied responsibility for the pregnancy. He sternly warned her and her relatives, never to come near him for anything. Little did he know he would someday have strange encounter years later, with the unborn child, when he grew up.
Months passed, and the lady put to bed a baby boy. He nursed and catered for him with the help of her parents and other relations. Decades passed, and the male eventually graduated from university. He secured employment and few years later, became the manager of a company.
Then, this young man began to search for his estranged father. It was a long search without success. He resigned himself to fate. But one day an incident occurred. His company advertised for job vacancies, including for those of security men. One the day of interview, the 'father' surfaced to seek employment as security man. The young manager was head of panel conducting interviews. The now elderly man was disturbing the whole place, in a desperate attempt to get a job. He couldn't wait for his turn before going in for screening. He jumped the queue. His impatience was caused by years of severe hardship he was passing through. He had no wife, no children.
At a stage, the manager came out and warned him to conduct himself orderly He threatened to disqualify him, if he continued his nuisance in that place. Suddenly, something seemed to strike him. He took a long look at the man, and remembered the photograph of his father; his mother presented to him many years ago. It was a striking resemblance of the man standing before for a job. He called the elderly man aside, and asked him some probing questions: the place he came from and where he grew up, and so on. He was amazed to discover him as his 'missing' father who abandoned his mother with pregnancy.
As they were talking together, people around became inquisitive. They were murmuring that the two must be father and son. The duo looked very much alike despite the age gap. There was no way the elderly man could deny him being his son; for they look almost alike. God's providence made him to accept what he denied decades ago. God said, there is nothing hidden under the son that shall not be made manifest.
THE "COCOA NUT" ENCOUNTER AND THUNDER
Sometime ago, an old woman begged a young school boy to climb her cocoa nut tree, and pluck some cocoa nuts for her. She had the evil intention of getting the boy killed. But, it boomeranged on her and her accomplice.
The small boy, the only child of his parents, told the woman he was just back from school (primary School), and very tired. He insisted he needed a rest. The woman begged him the more to pluck some cocoa nuts for her. She assured him of good reward. After much persuasion, the tired boy reluctantly dropped his school box by the side of the tree, and began to climb. He reached the top and started to kick down cocoa nuts. They were falling on the ground with interesting rhythm.
As they were falling, the wicked woman put her two hands on her head, and raised alarm. She was crying and shouting that a thief had invaded her home. She yelled for help from the villagers. Instantly, a mob gathered in her compound, and was furious at the boy. They went there with all manner of local weapons: catapults, clubs, local guns of hunters, kitchen knives, name them. They commanded the 'thief' to come down quickly.
Meanwhile, there was a law in the community that whoever stole, should be buried alive, no matter how insignificant the items stolen might be. The mob was raining curses on the innocent boy, calling him rogue and all sorts of derogatory names. As he was getting down, people were digging his grave. When he landed, he tried to explain to them what actually transpired: how the woman appealed to him to pluck cocoa nuts for her. He told them he was tired, after closing from school. He showed his school box beside the cocoa nut tree.
They insisted he had stolen, and must be buried alive, according to the law of the village. Only one elderly man objected to their evil plan. He counseled them to leave the boy alone; that he was innocent. He explained to them that "there is God in heaven, who looks down in the kingdoms of men, to pay everyone according to his deeds." They refused, and ordered the boy to go and lie inside the grave, and they began to cover him with sand.
As the sand was covering him, the old man with contrary view left in anguish along with his walking stick. There was pandemonium in the land. Suddenly, the weather changed, as if it was about to rain. Then, God released a mighty thunder on the people who gathered there. The thunder struck and made a mince meat of them all; with exception of the man opposed to burying the child alive.
Their dead bodies were all over the place. Instantly, a mighty and mysterious hand went and drew out the boy, who was half buried in the emergency grave. The boy, who is now a man, has a scar on his left hand when he was pulled out. He is well and hearty. Later, there was mass burial, and wailing in the community. After the mourning, the remaining inhabitants gathered in the village square, and deliberated on the unfortunate incidence.
They unanimously repealed the obnoxious and devilish law of burying human being alive, no matter the atrocity committed. That law originated from the devils a juju priest was serving. The latter claimed he heard from the gods or ancestors. The villagers took a firm decision to destroy all idols and deities in the land. They resolved to worship the only true God Almighty, the creator of the whole universe.
SURVIVOR OF TWINS
Sometime ago, a woman gave birth to a set of twins—all boys. The juju priest in that community, went and collected them; and threw them into the evil forest (abattoir), according to their evil custom. For days, they were crying uncontrollably and unattended to, in the bush. One day, God moved a "white" missionary serving in the locality, to stroll nearby. As he was moving closer, he was attracted by the cry of a baby. He went right inside the bush; and behold, a dying baby being bitten by ants. His twin brother had already been bitten to death by the ants.
He had compassion on him, and took him home. The child was well taken care of by the missionary station. He was treated by medical team, and was well fed. When he came of age, he began attending missionary school. Years later, he attended their bible college.
Then, came his ordination as a Reverend Minister. Virtually, all inhabitants of that community gathered to witness the event. The missionary gave life history of the man: how he was thrown into the evil forest, along with his twin brother to die. But, God saved his life for a purpose. The inhabitants of the community wept for joy, as he was ordained as a Minister. After the ordination, the young minister was given the opportunity to preach to the people which he did well. They danced and gave thanks to God, for rescuing their son.
Then, they took a swift decision. They went round the entire community, burnt down all the shrines, and other satanic places of worship. They got hold of juju priests, native doctors, their agents, and beat them up mercilessly. They were actually beaten to submission. Those who refused to change, fled from the community. Up till today, no juju priest or his agent, can rear his ugly head in that village, for any demonic activity! People of God took possession of village, and drove away evil from the land.
SET UP TASK-FORCE
We urge Nigerian Federal Government, and other governments over the nations, to establish special taskforce to eliminate ritual killings, disappearance of human beings for rituals, kidnapping, and all worth not. Let them investigate the nefarious activities of: herbalists, native doctors, juju priests, and other members of secret societies. These people are wrecking havoc in the society with impunity. They are directly and indirectly involved in all these rituals and evil activities. The rate of ritual killings in the country is increasingly alarming; the highest anywhere in the world. It is believed to be higher than deaths through accidents. Federal Government has the capacity to virtually put to an end to this man's inhumanity to man.
She needs the will power to do so. There is nothing extra-ordinary about these heartless agents of Satan. They butcher their fellow human beings like animals, and sell the parts for charms and other diabolical purposes at exorbitant prices. Of course, they are cannibals. Their so-called evil powers have limitations. Nigerian Authorities should constitute groups of crack detectives, which will include Believers baptizes in the Holy Spirit, to round up these undesirable elements and public nuisance. They use some: ware houses, thick forests, etc, as their human abattoirs.
Some ritual killers disguise as mad men; going naked with only dirty pants on, and bare-footed. Of course their hairs appear unkempt and bushy. They move around on lonely places with sharp machetes. Anybody who sees them can mistake them for mad persons. But, they are very deadly. At any opportunity, they kill and butcher people like animals.
Let Armed Forces comb forests, including so-called evil forests to arrest these agents of darkness; and rescue their human captors. These evil agents use human parts for money rituals; to prepare charms for armed robbers, and other evil people. They encourage people seeking for false power and protection, to commit rape in order to revive their diabolical powers. That is one of the main reasons rape is rampant in the country. All these ritualists should be brought to book, and their shrines destroyed. Time has come for them to be demystified. God Almighty, creator of the whole universe, is much greater than all, including the devils that are using them.
Most of the money juju priests, native doctors, and their likes make, go to the devils they serve. When you go to their houses, you will hardly see any good chair to sit on. Many of them still have bamboo chairs and bamboo beds in their wretched homes. They live in mood houses with thatched roofs.
They claim to make people very rich through ritual killings; yet they themselves are paupers. A lot of them appear as haggard as mad people. The devils they serve collect most of the money they make, and leave little for them. In the sight of men, they charge their clients high fees, and collect huge some of money from them. However, it doesn't reflect in their scanty possession and wretched lifestyle. The average native doctor or juju priest is like a bank cashier, who counts a lot of bundles of money daily. At the end of the month, he will be given relatively little from it as his wages. These evil geniuses are the wretched of the earth; who work under task masters.
God said, "Come unto me all you that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light"—Matthew 11: 28-30.
THE CONSEQUENCES
A juju man used to go to the riverside in the night. There, he would turn to a crocodile, and move inside the river. Later, he would swim back to the bank of the river, where it would change to human being. But, one day something sad happened to him. He changed to crocodile as usual and began to swim inside the river. As he was swimming, stubble struck on the left eye, and he was seriously wounded. When he eventually emerged from the water, he became permanently blind in that eye.
One day, he quarreled bitterly with his wife, to the extend he beat her up. The woman was so infuriated, that she exposed him before the public. She said her husband was blinded in one eye, when he turned to crocodile inside the river, and was hit by stubble. Then, that secret was brought to light; for God said, there is nothing hidden under the sun that shall not be made known.
Majority of mad people, or mentally derailed people, are victims of self-inflicted wounds. Either they are into illicit drug taking, or their diabolical powers have boomeranged on them. A young man was raised under strict parental care while with his parents. But, when he left home to be on his own, he soon joined a bad company. Due to peer pressure, he joined gang of marijuana smokers and cocaine addicts.
Soon, they took to crimes like: robbery and kidnapping, in order to be able to raise money to buy the Indian hemp and hard drugs they were addicted to. They would go to public places like restaurants and cinemas, and shoot indiscriminately to kill and rob people. Some of them would just shoot and kill fellow human beings for the evil pleasure of it. They were mentally derailed.
Then, came the repercussions. Some of them were shot dead in a shoot out with law enforcement agents. While others had serious mental problems, including himself, for drug addiction. Today, he is a mad man; wearing dirty and tattered clothes, trekking bare-footed. He picks from the dustbin and begs for money.
A man in secret society used to boast of his diabolical powers: his ability to afflict people with various diseases including madness. But he failed to realize that there is a "law of boomerang," governing every diabolical attack. Take for instance, for somebody to be struck with blindness, if it can't hit the target, it will go back to the sender and hit him.
One day, he sent the devil he was serving to strike a righteous couple, with blindness and madness respectively, in the mid-night while asleep. The devil went on the errand, but couldn't get close to husband and wife; not to talk of afflicting them. With anger, he rushed back and struck the man who sent him, with blindness, and his prodigal son with madness; as he vowed not to go 'empty handed.' Evil that the man planned against God-fearing family bounced back on him and his own family. God said, "he that digs a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaks a hedge, a serpent shall bite him—Ecclesiastes 10:8.
There is a reward for hardwork. School dropouts and their likes, won't know it until it is too late for them. When other students face their studies in school in order to come out successful, potential school dropouts will be whiling away their time on frivolities.
The latter see the world as a bed of roses. Their attendance of classes or lectures are usually scanty. Many of them waste their school fees on merry making: drinking, smoking, and womanizing. Eventually, they leave school without sound education or certificates. Of course, they will become liabilities to the society: taking to crimes, and other illegalities. At the end of it all, they will be jailed or even killed.
God said, "Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways, and be wise: The soul of the sluggard desires, and has nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat. The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; therefore shall he beg in harvest, and have nothing."
A certain institution has its motto as: "Dignity of Man Through Labour." Hardworking and focused students usually leave school in flying colours. They turn out to be useful and productive citizens, who fear and reverence Almighty God, creator of the world.
There is a payback time for everything done under the earth; whether publicly or confidentially. God sees everything and everyone clearly. At the appointed time, He will punish or reward everyone according to his deeds. He said, "He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he who is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let
him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be—Revelation 22: 11-12.
I would like you to take a firm decision to reverence and worship the only true God. He said, "Let not the wise glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches. But let him that glory glory in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the LORD which exercises lovingkindness, judgement, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, said the LORD"– Jeremiah 9: 23-24. As you submit yourself to the will of God, I pray that He manifests Himself strongly to : protect, heal, provide and bless you abundantly. Amen.

Julia Stiles
Stiles in April 2007 at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City
Julia O'Hara Stiles
(1981-03-28) March 28, 1981
New York City, New York, U.S.
Columbia University (B.A.)
Julia O'Hara Stiles (born March 28, 1981) is an American actress. Born and raised in New York City, Stiles began acting at age 11 and made her screen debut as Erica Dansby in six episodes of the television series Ghostwriter (1993-1994). Her first film role was in I Love You, I Love You Not (1996), followed by a leading role in the thriller Wicked (1998), for which she was awarded the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival Award for Best Actress. She went on to gain prominence for her lead roles in teen films such as 10 Things I Hate About You (1999) for which she won MTV Movie Award for Best Breakthrough Performance and was nominated for two Teen Choice Awards, Down to You (2000), for which she was nominated for another two Teen Choice Awards, and Save the Last Dance (2001), winning the Teen Choice Award for Choice Movie Actress and was nominated for the MTV Movie Award for Best Female Performance.
Stiles later went on to transition to more adult roles, garnering a nomination for the Satellite Award for Best Supporting Actress – Motion Picture for her performance in The Business of Strangers (2001), Mona Lisa Smile (2003), and The Omen (2006). She became known to a wider audience for her supporting role alongside Matt Damon as Nicky Parsons in the Bourne film series (2002-2016). She had a recurring role as Lumen Pierce in the fifth season of the Showtime series Dexter (2010), a role that earned her nominations for the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress – Series, Miniseries or Television Film and the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series. As a member of the cast of Silver Linings Playbook (2012), Stiles was nominated for a Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture.
Stiles appears in the Blue web series also broadcast on television (2012–present). Other film roles include romantic comedy The Prince and Me (2004), noir-inspired drama-thriller A Little Trip to Heaven (2005), British-Canadian co-production The Cry of the Owl (2009), Between Us (2012), Out of the Dark (2014), and with Anthony Hopkins in Blackway (2016) (also known as Go With Me).[1]
Stiles was born in New York City,[2] to parents Judith Newcomb Stiles, a potter, and John O'Hara, a businessman.[3] She is the eldest of three children with a brother, Johnny, and a sister, Jane.[4] Stiles is of English, Irish, and Italian descent.[5] She started acting at the age of 11, performing with New York's La MaMa Theatre Company.[6]
Stiles' first film role was in I Love You, I Love You Not (1996), with Claire Danes and Jude Law.[7] She also had small roles as Harrison Ford's character's daughter in Alan J. Pakula's The Devil's Own (1997) and in M. Night Shyamalan's Wide Awake (1998). Her first lead was in Wicked (1998), playing a teenaged girl who might have murdered her mother so she could have her father all to herself. Critic Joe Balthai wrote she was "the darling of the 1998 Sundance Film Festival."[8]
In 1999, she portrayed Kat Stratford, opposite Heath Ledger, in Gil Junger's 10 Things I Hate About You, an adaptation of The Taming of the Shrew set in a high school in Seattle, Washington. She won an MTV Movie Award for Breakthrough Female Performance for the role. The Chicago Film Critics voted her the most promising new actress of the year. Her next starring role was in Down to You (2000), which was panned by critics, but earned her co-star Freddie Prinze, Jr. and her a Teen Choice Award nomination for their on-screen chemistry. She subsequently appeared in two more Shakespearean adaptations. The first was as Ophelia in Michael Almereyda's Hamlet (2000), with Ethan Hawke in the lead. The second was in the Desdemona role, opposite Mekhi Phifer, in Tim Blake Nelson's O (2001), a version of Othello set at a boarding school. Neither film was a great success; O was subject to many delays and a change of distributors, and Hamlet was an art house film shot on a minimal budget.
Stiles being interviewed by Mark Steines, 2007
Stiles's next commercial success was in Save the Last Dance (2001) as an aspiring ballerina forced to leave her small town in downstate Illinois to live with her struggling musician father in Chicago after her mother dies in a car accident. At her new, nearly all-black school, she falls in love with the character played by Sean Patrick Thomas, who teaches her hip-hop dance steps that get her into the Juilliard School. The role won her two more MTV awards for Best Kiss and Best Female Performance, and a Teen Choice Award for best fight scene for her battle with Bianca Lawson. Rolling Stone pronounced her "the coolest co-ed", putting her on the cover of its April 12, 2001, issue.[9] She told Rolling Stone that she performed all her own dancing in the film, though the way the film was shot and edited might have made it appear otherwise.[9]
In David Mamet's State and Main (2000), about a film shooting on location in a small town in Vermont, she played a teenaged girl who seduces a film actor (Alec Baldwin) with a weakness for teen girls. Stiles also appeared opposite Stockard Channing in the dark art house film The Business of Strangers (2001) as a conniving, amoral secretary who exacts revenge on her boss. Channing was impressed by her co-star: "In addition to her talent, she has a quality that is almost feral, something that can make people uneasy. She has an effect on people."[10] Stiles also had a small but crucial role as Treadstone operative Nicolette "Nicky" Parsons in The Bourne Identity (2002), a role that was enlarged in The Bourne Supremacy (2004), then greatly expanded in The Bourne Ultimatum (2007).
Between the Bourne films, she appeared in Mona Lisa Smile (2003) as Joan, a student at Wellesley College in 1953, whose art professor (Julia Roberts) encourages her to pursue a career in law rather than become a wife and mother. Critic Stephen Holden referred to her as one of cinema's "brightest young stars",[11] but the film met with generally unfavorable reviews. Stiles played a Wisconsin college student who is swept off her feet by a Danish prince, played by Luke Mably in The Prince and Me (2004), directed by Martha Coolidge. Stiles told an interviewer that she was very similar to her character Paige Morgan. Critic Scott Foundas said while she was, as always, "irrepressibly engaging", the film was a "strange career choice for Stiles".[12] This echoed criticism in reviews of A Guy Thing (2003), a romantic comedy with Jason Lee and Selma Blair. Critic Dennis Harvey wrote that Stiles was "wasted"[13] and Stephen Holden called her "a serious actress from whom comedy does not seem to flow naturally".[14] In 2005, Stiles was cast opposite her Hamlet co-star Liev Schreiber in The Omen, a remake of the 1976 horror film. The film was released on June 6, 2006.[15] She returned to the Bourne series with a much larger role in The Bourne Ultimatum in 2007, which is her highest-grossing film to date.
Stiles began filming Between Us in May 2011 with co-stars Taye Diggs, David Harbour, and Melissa George. Between Us is the screen adaptation of the off-Broadway play by the same name written by playwright Joe Hortua.[16] In 2012, Stiles starred alongside David Cross and America Ferrera in the dark comedy It's a Disaster.[17] The film premiered at the Los Angeles Film Festival and was picked up by Oscilloscope Laboratories and received a commercial release in April 2013. Stiles had a small but pivotal role as a reporter in the 2013 British-American film Closed Circuit. In April 2013, it was announced that Stiles will be starring in an indie supernatural thriller Out of the Dark alongside Scott Speedman and Stephen Rea. Filming began in Bogotá, Colombia.[18]
In 2015, Stiles signed on to reprise her role as Nicky Parsons in Jason Bourne, the fifth installment of the Bourne franchise.[1] She also featured as Courtney, the wayward mother of Sophie Nélisse, in The Great Gilly Hopkins, which premiered in U.S. cinemas on October 7, 2016.[19]
Stage career
Stiles's first theatrical roles were in works by author/composer John Moran with the group Ridge Theater, in Manhattan's Lower East Side from 1993–1998. From July to August 2002, she performed on stage in Eve Ensler's The Vagina Monologues,[20] and appeared as Viola, the lead role in Shakespeare in the Park's production of Twelfth Night with Jimmy Smits.[21]
In the spring of 2004, she made her London stage debut opposite Aaron Eckhart in a revival of David Mamet's play Oleanna at the Garrick Theatre.[22][23] She reprised the role of Carol in a 2009 production of Oleanna, directed by Doug Hughes and co-starring Bill Pullman at the Mark Taper Forum.[24] The production moved to Broadway's John Golden Theatre for October 11 opening night.[25]
Stiles was to play Jeannie in a production of Neil LaBute's Fat Pig directed by the playwright beginning in April 2011,[26] but the show was postponed indefinitely.[27]
Stiles appeared in the video for Cyndi Lauper's single, "Sally's Pigeons", in 1993.[28] On March 17, 2001, Stiles hosted Saturday Night Live and, eight days later, she was a presenter at the 73rd Academy Awards.[29] She returned to Saturday Night Live on May 5, appearing as then-President George W. Bush's daughter Jenna Bush in a skit that poked fun at the two first daughters for being arrested for underaged drinking.[3] MTV profiled her in its Diary series in 2003,[30] and she was Punk'd by Ashton Kutcher at a Washington, DC museum in the spring of 2004.[31]
Stiles made her writing and directorial debut with Elle magazine's short Raving starring Zooey Deschanel.[32] It premiered at the 2007 Tribeca Film Festival.[33]
In May 2010, Stiles was cast in a major role in the Showtime series Dexter[34][35][36] and signed for 10 episodes.[37] For this role, Stiles received a nomination for the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress – Series, Miniseries or Television Film,[38] as well as a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series.
In June 2012, the web series Blue, produced by WIGS, premiered. It stars Stiles as a single mother with a 13-year-old son. She works at an office and also as a call girl to make ends meet on an otherwise meager income, and must fight to protect her son from the collision between her complicated past and tenuous present.[39]
Stiles graduated from Columbia University with a degree in English literature.[40] In 2010, she received a John Jay Award, an annual honorary award given to five alumni by the Columbia College Alumni Association for professional achievements.[41]
Stiles has also worked for Habitat for Humanity, building housing in Costa Rica,[42] and has worked with Amnesty International to raise awareness of the harsh conditions of immigration detention of unaccompanied juveniles. In January 2004, Marie Claire featured Stiles's trip to see conditions at the Berks County Youth Center in Leesport, Pennsylvania.[43][44]
She is a former vegan, occasionally eating red meat.[45] She says she gave up veganism after she developed anemia and found it difficult to get proper nutrition while traveling.[45] Stiles has described herself as a feminist and wrote on the subject in The Guardian in the United Kingdom.[23]
She loves baseball and is an avid fan of the New York Mets.[46] She threw the ceremonial first pitch before their May 29, 2006 game.[47] She is also a fan of soccer and the New York Red Bulls.[48]
On January 3, 2016, she announced her engagement to camera assistant Preston J. Cook, with whom she worked on 2015's Go With Me.[49]

Mustang History
The Ford Mustang has been an American icon since Ford introduced it as a 2-seat concept car at the world's fair, built on the compact Ford Falcon platform in 1962. The car evolved into a 4-seater and was officially released partway through 1964 as a 1965 model. Ford's intention with the Mustang was to fill a gap between the average commuter car and the Corvette. The Mustang inspired a new class of cars referred to as "pony cars." Pony cars were affordable compact cars with sporty styling and an emphasis on performance. It didn't take long for General Motors to get its Mustang competitors on the road. By 1966, the 1967 Camaro, as well as the Pontiac Firebird, entered the market. The Camaro is the better of the two cars for several reasons I …show more content…
Then in mid-64 the mustang was born, and Chevy was quick to respond in 66, and that started this whole debacle, where they go back and forth for the next 50 years. When the mustang came out in 64.5 it had a 289ci v8 with 210 horsepower, and the camaro had a 396ci v8 with 325 hp, which gave the camaro a distinct advantage over the mustang. The camaro does 0-60 in 8.0 seconds and runs the quarter mile in 15.0. The mustang did 0-60 in 6.2 seconds and the quarter in 15.3(motor trend). When you search "camaro vs. Mustang" over 4 million results pop up and 2 million videos. Henery Ford once said "Automotive racing started right after the second car was built". Another factor when looking at these cars are the transmissions the mustang had a better 3 speed auto whereas the camaro had a 2sp auto, but both had 4 sp manual trans. The real seller of these cars was the straight-line performance, the camaro is the hands down winner on this therefore it is the first reason on why it's …show more content…
The newset of these cars are much different of the ones from the past. Before, all everyone ever cared about was the ¼ mile times, well that's still relevant, but now more people are looking at track times and handling capabilities. Looking at the new camaro it has a 6.2l LT1 that makes 455hp and 455tq, and the mustang has the same 5.0 "coyote" that was introduced in 2010, but it has been revamped for this 2018 year and now has 460 hp and 420 tq. Now back to the track stuff, each car has a distinct "trak pak" option to choose when building a car. For the camaro, it's the 1LE pack, which gives magnetic ride, Goodyear eagle F1 supercar tires, brembo brakes, recaro racing seats, a strut tower brace, and a e-LSD. With the mustang it's called the "GT performance pack", which gives almost the same treatment as the Chevy, but a little less with a little less quality stuff. For example, they both have brembos, strut tower braces, and magnetic ride. The camaro just wins in every specification, especially on track. The camaro and mustang have the equal amount of trims and packages for whatever kind of car you want. Both have all out-track version for the serious drivers. The Chevy has four options, Z/28, ZL1 1LE, and the SS1LE. For the mustang it's the GT350R and the GT perf. Pack 2. Along with track packs there are also extremely limited drag cars, the camaro is called the "copo", and for ford it's the "cobrba

Camaro Research Paper
When Ford designed the Mustang, they wanted to offer the public a car that could perform well but also be affordable to many Americans. When Ford introduced the Mustang in 1964, it was offered at price of $2,368. This number was much more feasible than the European sports cars of the times such as Ferrari. They also spent much time on the cars design to make sure it would be updated to the modern times and nothing like American cars of the past. The designers even took inspiration from the much higher end Ferrari manufacturer.…

Comparison Of Ford Mustangs And Camaros
Ford and Chevrolet are arguably the top two American car companies in the world. I think that Ford Mustangs are a whole lot better than Chevy Camaros because my whole family drives Fords. I grew up with my dad having a Ford F250, and my mom drove a Ford Escape. Even my grandma and grandpas drive Fords and that's why I got a Ford Mustang for my first car. Mustangs and Camaros have many differences between them that set them apart, like Mustangs have a faster 0-60 time, and better braking.…

Compare And Contrast Chevy And Ford
Chevy vs. Ford Below is a comparison of two similar trucks for a first-time potential purchaser of a brand new standard truck. Chevy and Ford have been manufacturing cars and trucks for over 100 years. Now that the consumer has narrowed the choices down to a standard Ford F150 Super Cab or a Chevy Silverado 1500 Crew Cab, the difference between the two needs to be established. Both trucks appear to be equivalent to the untrained eye. Each of the manufacturers has a solid history and reputation.…

Essay On Tesla Motors
Their first car used a modified lotus platform and cost $100,000, and now they have progressed to selling a $60,000 entry-luxury model. As volume increases, prices are decreasing, becoming more affordable to the general public. Tesla's marketing strategy and sales strategy have been extremely successful thus far. They are the second oldest publicly traded auto company in the United States behind Ford, and are starting a luxury sports car company from scratch. They are being called the Apple computer of the Automobile industry and have in fact hired Apple's former retail chief to build their new distribution model.…

For at least six decades, the iconic logo has resided in various forms above Dave Lyle Boulevard, Oakland Avenue, and other streets that once ran through Rock Hill.
In the fall of 2017, hurricane Irma winds damaged the girders holding the sign that has served as a welcoming sight from the east into downtown Rock Hill. It's been up at least since the 1950s and when Irma damaged the sign, Rock Hill Coca-Cola President Fred Faircloth III said the sign matters to the community and assured us that would be repaired.
The Rock Hill Coca-Cola Bottling Company has been a fixture in our community since 1906 and has been actively involved in Rock Hill by sponsoring events, donating time and products, and creating and supporting endowments.
The Coca-Cola sign stands tall over Rock Hill.
Today, the Coca-Cola sign still stands, welcoming folks to town traveling on and below the Oakland Avenue bridge that was dedicated to York County veterans of all wars in 1936.


Christmas time is one of the funnest times to play with your camera.
...to one filled with glowing hearts.
...is suddenly aglow with love.
...into a spot where a few hearts can light up even the darkest spaces.
But when each colored light is transformed into multi mini hearts, I love it even more.
I did it all with this little DIY bokeh filter.
I learned how to make it last year from this website.
So go on...make one for your camera and play and experiment! It's a lot of fun. I promise.
It was packed to the brim today! It had 2 yellow onions, 1 pound red potatoes, 3 fuji apples, 3 gold bosc pears, 3 eureka lemons, 6 satsuma mandrain oranges, 1 pound baby bok choy, 1 bulb fennel, 1 bunched broccoli, 1 bunched carrots, 1 bunched spinach and a bag of baby mixed lettuce. YUMMY!
I couldn't resist making some roasted veggies for dinner. I used 1/2 the bulb of fennel, all of the carrots, 1/2 of the broccoli, most of the potatoes, some fresh thyme, a little bit of olive oil and a light sprinkling of kosher salt. Is your mouth watering? Plenty for leftovers, too. Unless I have some for a midnight snack!
Aha! So THAT'S how you do the bokeh. Very cool, Mad. Now I have an appetite. I need to go fix supper!
