Jellywatch: Observing Blobs for Marine Ecology
By Sheetal R. Modi August 2nd, 2014 at 9:52 am | Comment
Turn your beach visit into marine ecology research on worldwide jellyfish populations.
Looking for more summertime citizen science projects? Find them here.
Between 2012 and 2013, power plants in Israel, Sweden, Scotland, Japan, and the U.S. were shut down unexpectedly, all for the same reason: jellyfish. Blooms of jellyfish abundantly swarmed in coastal waters and clogged water intake pipes, forcing plants to halt operations and clear the unwitting slaughter. More recently, headlines have heralded an upswing of jellyfish appearances, such as CNN's "Jellyfish taking over oceans, experts warn," and Nature News' "Attack of the blobs." Just last week, BBC News reported record numbers of jellyfish spotted on the Welsh coastline this summer. At first glance, these sightings appear to reflect a global increase in jellyfish populations, but scientific studies say that current data is too limited to make conclusions on the ecological effects of these gelatinous zooplankton.

Marine Metre Squared: Ngā Tini o te Waitai (The Multitudes of the Sea)
By Ian Vorster July 29th, 2014 at 3:19 pm | Comment
What lives along New Zealand's shoreline? Find out, one square metre at a time, with Marine Metre Squared.
Looking for more summertime citizen science projects? Find them here.
Every now and again I come across a citizen science project that inspires me. Don't get me wrong—most of the people I interview, whether they are counting butterflies, measuring the night sky or plotting the paths of ocean behemoths, are in some way stirring, and I am invariably intrigued (and sometimes enchanted) by what they are doing. But only a select few tap the roots of my early childhood aspirations for nature conservation and environmental research. Mothing was one of them. Firefly Watch, which involved intriguing blinking beetles, was another. Now we have Marine Metre Squared (Mm2). It's difficult to say what makes it inspiring, but I think it has something to do with the enthusiasm the project owners show, how what they are studying reflects the wonder and diversity of life, and just how far the venture has penetrated public awareness. As I write more and more about citizen science, I think of this as a trifecta. When these three intersect a touch of magic is added—something that draws participants toward a lifelong vocation.
"The project is New Zealand based, we want to know what is happening in the New Zealand intertidal zones. However, we have had international visitors complete surveys on New Zealand beaches. It's an interesting activity and a great way for tourists to explore the New Zealand seashore," says Tessa Mills, a manager at the New Zealand Marine Studies Centre. "The Seashore ID Guides that we produce are very helpful for anyone joining the Mm2 project—they are taken home as souvenirs by many international visitors!"
More than 700 people have registered, consisting of a combination of schools (46%), individuals (30%), families (14%), community groups (8%) and tertiary institutions (3%). This is shared equally between the north and south island. "Although not everyone is contributing data we expect that the data submission will grow over time. And the project can be adapted for preschool groups; for example playing eye-spy in a one-meter area. And although they may not be able to identify or count all the species, they may be able to choose one species to look for and count" says Sally Carson, the director of the New Zealand Marine Studies Centre. "Similarly we have had some very knowledgeable individuals say that they have spent almost three hours counting and identifying what is in their square." To help evaluate the quality of the data collected, the Centre is asking participants to rate the scientific accuracy of the data collected as low, medium or high. That seems to be a unique addition to citizen science—rating the quality of the data you collect is an added element of verification.
The photographic Seashore Guides (Sandy, and Muddy and Rocky) have been incredibly popular with over 140,000 copies being distributed free of charge thanks to Mobil Oil New Zealand Ltd. At first glance, muddy and sandy shores appear barren, but look beneath the surface and you will find a rich diversity of life—as the Maoris say, "Ngā tini o te waitai." Northern and Southern versions have been compiled to highlight New Zealand's regional differences. The guides not only feature the plants and animals that live on the shore, but also illustrate the evidence that they leave at the surface; for example, the telltale burrow and volcanic mound of the mantis shrimp. The guide encourages visitors to act as detectives, and find out what lives there without disturbing the habitat.
"We often compare our meter squared quadrant to binoculars. It encourages people to focus on one area and look closer. They are always amazed at what they find," says Carson. In New Zealand, as in most parts of the world, the coastline is accessible to so many people, yet many know very little about their seashore neighbors. Mm2 hopes this project will help facilitate a global shift towards guardianship of the local environment by the communities that understand the ecosystems they live in and interact with. "While this approach has huge potential, the transition must come with the tools and education to make real community guardianship of the environment successful, and Mm2 is an effective first step in the process," says Carson. The partnerships that are developing between schools, scientists, community groups and families are key to the success of such an approach. Sounds like fertile soil for that trifecta.

Just Add Water: World Water Monitoring Challenge 2013 Results
By Lily Bui - Executive Editor July 25th, 2014 at 2:55 pm | Comment
The World Water Monitoring Challenge results are out!
Earlier this year, I found myself hanging over a concrete ledge by the Charles River. But not to worry – it was nothing dire. I was actually trying to collect a water sample for the World Water Monitoring Challenge.
Talk about diving headfirst into citizen science.
On September 18 of each year, the WWMC encourages people around the world to test the quality of the water near them, share their findings, and become inspired to protect one of the most important (if not the most important) resource on our planet. The entire program runs annually from March 22 (the United Nations World Water Day) until December 31.
The primary goal of the WWMC is to educate and engage citizens in the protection of the world's water resources. Their philosophy is this: conducting simple monitoring tests teaches participants about common indicators of water health and encourages further participation in more formal citizen monitoring efforts.
It doesn't just end with submitting your water sampling data. The WWMC make it a point to report the results back to participants each year in an annual report. The data for this year are now available online and open for all to see.
Citizen scientists across 6 continents and 51 countries participated. Taiwan alone reported 92,023 individual efforts. Within the U.S., Florida took the lead with 10,143 reported individual efforts. In all, 10,371 water test kits were distributed.
*The data in this graph represent the mean average results for regions listed in the map, spanning from 2009 to 2013. The results reported for WWMC do not constitute a completely thorough and accurate portrayal of the health of the world's water. Accurate water quality monitoring requires the use of standard quality assurance protocols and is conducted by trained volunteer monitoring groups and professionals around the world.
WWMC participants sampled local lakes, streams, rivers, ponds, reservoirs, and other water bodies and ran simple tests for four key water quality indicators: dissolved oxygen, pH levels, temperature, and turbidity. (Learn more about why these things are important to measure when it comes to water quality monitoring.) Some groups even tested for the presence of macroinvertebrates such as dragonflies, mayflies, and scuds. Samples were taken in a range of settings – agricultural, commercial, residential, and industrial.
This project is ideal for anyone who lives near a water source, educators who want ideas to teach students about water chemistry, or citizen scientists hoping to get their feet wet with an increasingly important field of research.

The IBM POWER4 processor is a 174-million-transistor chip that runs at a clock frequency of greater than 1.3 GHz. It contains two microprocessor cores, high-speed buses, and an on-chip memory subsystem. The complexity and size of POWER4, together with its high operating frequency, presented a number of significant challenges for its multi-site design team. This paper describes the circuit and physical design of POWER4 and gives results that were achieved. Emphasis is placed on aspects of the design methodology, clock distribution, circuits, power, integration, and timing that enabled the design team to meet the project goals and to complete the design on schedule.

At The Gentle Zoo, youngsters feed pigs, pat ducklings, and interact with the other fuzzy residents. Elsewhere on the zoo's 10 acres, guests can leap about on the bounce house, blast corn from the corn cannon, navigate the maze, or enjoy a leisurely ride on the tractor train. Such attractions enthrall kids at onsite birthday parties, while the mobile petting zoo's 12–15 staff-supervised animals offer nuzzles and create memories in children's minds. The creatures also hit the road for the animal-encounters program, which combines hands-on animal contact with educational 45-minute presentations. The Gentle Zoo donates its proceeds from the program to its Creature Connection, Inc. nonprofit, which rehabilitates rescue animals before they participate in outreach programs for foster children and at-risk youth.

While attending Austin College, two important things happened to Kirby and Kristi Carmichael: they fell in love with art, and with each other. When Kirby moved to Italy after graduation to expand his pottery education, Kristi followed. During that time, she discovered she had a knack for majolica painting––a craft that Renaissance-era artists used to decorate vases, jars, and plates, all of which Leonardo da Vinci invented. The couple realized they had a sturdy link between their talents, and eventually returned to the United States jobless, engaged, and ready to share what they'd learned.
In October 2005, the Carmichaels opened Quiggly's Clayhouse, where potters and painters alike have since been crafting masterpieces and sharpening their skills with lessons. The studio's flexible walk-in availability encourages artists to visit whenever inspiration strikes—be it for painting pottery, sculpting clay, fusing glass, or forging mosaics. Frequent themed events also bring groups together in the name of casual creativity, including adult wheel nights, ladies' nights, and kids' nights.
In 2007, the North Texas Event Center underwent a renovation that transformed a former call center into four fairytale ballrooms and a museum for classic cars. The gleaming Gull Wings, Alpha Romeos, and M6s catalyzed the project, as their owners sought a way to share their collections with the public. This desire dovetailed with the designs of city officials, who wanted to create an enduring cultural institution in Richardson and a way to see the cars without masquerading as stop signs. In order to realize this dream and reverse signs of aging in the 1980 building, contractors installed gleaming parquet floors valued at $2 million, and built out rooms with vaulted ceilings, broad stages, or bars. A crew of event planners oversees the chambers, which range from 1,883 to 14,000 square feet, and contain surprises such as 360 degrees of white drapes and a marble gazebo.
On a single day in the middle of World War II, actions in three isolated incidents represent an ethical lesson taught to this day at the Dallas Holocaust Museum. On that day—April 19, 1943—three Belgian men attacked a train destined for Auschwitz, freeing its passengers; the occupants of the Warsaw Ghetto united in revolt; and at the Bermuda Conference, officials from the British and American governments declined to take action against ongoing atrocities in Europe. The Dallas Holocaust Museum's main exhibit locates a crucial distinction in presenting these three events: the difference between "bystanders" and what the museum calls "Upstanders." The exhibit was created in the hopes that every visitor would become an "Upstander," moved not only to remember a horrific past but also to take action when faced with modern threats to human rights.
A self-guided audio tour relates the heroism of those who stood up on that date in 1943 as museum guests explore artifacts, photographs, and a full-size boxcar. Special exhibits that often focus on photography supplement the permanent installation, and testimonies from volunteer survivors and liberators provide a firsthand perspective on the historical tragedy and its lessons. Along with exposing more than 30,000 students and 22,000 walk-in visitors to its messages annually, the museum advocates engagement with the world through educational programs designed for everyone from educators to law-enforcement officials.
There was a time when looking down the barrel of Clyde Barrow's gun wouldn't have seemed too appealing. But now people visit the second floor galleries of the Old Red Museum of Dallas County History & Culture just to get a glimpse of the infamous weapon, which shares space with more than 1,000 other artifacts, including the first traffic light in Dallas County and handcuffs worn by Lee Harvey Oswald. Taken together, these artifacts trace Dallas County's past from prehistory to the present day, a timeline visitors also explore via the museum's 41 touchscreen computers, four mini theatres screening specially commissioned films, and hands-on activities on topics such as architecture and pioneer life. More hands-on activities await in the education center, where youngsters learn about their local heritage thanks to exhibits on Dallas County children.
Housed in the Old Red Courthouse, a restored Romanesque building from 1892, the museum is practically a large-scale exhibit unto itself. Its many architectural flourishes include a four-story grand staircase, a restored clock tower, and two original stained-glass windows from the courthouse's original collection of more than 100. Tours of all four floors grant visitors access to areas not otherwise open to the general public, including the courtroom and the judge's tightly guarded gavel shed. The historic building makes a fitting setting for the special exhibits that grace the first floor gallery several times a year.

Saints take WR Kenny Stills, DE Rufus Johnson on final day of draft
Updated On: Apr 27 2013 05:55:06 PM CDT
The New Orleans Saints selected Oklahoma WR Kenny Stills with the 144th overall pick in the fifth round and Tarleton State DE Rufus Johnson with 183rd overall pick in the sixth round of the 2013 NFL Draft.
Stills and Johnson join fellow Saints draft picks S Kenny Vaccaro (first round), OT Terron Armstead (third round) and DT John Jenkins (third round).
Stills has been a high-volume producer in the Sooners' wide-open offense. He caught 204 passes, 2,594 yards and 24 touchdowns in the past three seasons.
Last season was his most productive at Oklahoma with 82 catches for 959 yards and 11 touchdowns – all career highs.
Stills brings youth to a receiving corps led by veterans Marques Colston and Lance Moore, and he should be polished enough to contribute right away.
Johnson made 50 tackles last year, a whopping 17.5 for loss with 10 sacks.
The Saints have no more scheduled picks in the 2013 NFL Draft.

You're different. Now, spend $4 to prove it. Call of Duty: Ghosts on Xbox One and Xbox 360 is getting more customization packs that will enable players to dress up their weapons and characters. Next Tuesday, developer Infinity Ward is releasing four weapon personalization kits, four custom character models, and a special throwback to its Modern Warfare games for the multiplayer in Ghosts. The weapon packs include a themed player patch, card, aiming reticule, background, and weapon skin. Each pack is $2. The studio is also selling the models from the single-player game for use in multiplayer. Fans can make their computer-controlled squadmates look like Elias, Hesh, Keegan, or Merrick from the campaign. Each character is $2, and players can, of course, use the characters as their avatar in the online modes. The developer is also releasing a $4 Captain Price Legend Pack. Captain Price was the hero of the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare games. This downloadable content includes his character model as well as themed weapon camo, player patch, card, weapon reticule, and background. Gallery: GalleryAbove: Captain Price starred in Infinity Ward's Modern Warfare games and is now making an appearance in Ghosts.Image Credit: Activision While this content is only coming to Xbox platforms, it will likely hit PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and PC at some point in the future. Infinity Ward has previously released free weapon skins for Christmas as well as a $2 skin for the guard dog perk that makes it look like a wolf. These are all about personalization and do not change the way the game works. In its most-recent fiscal report, publisher Activision revealed that its digital channels, which includes these kinds of in-game purchases, are growing. The company expects these kinds of DLC packs to produce significant revenue going forward. Mobile developer or publisher? VentureBeat is studying mobile marketing automation.

I assume you are talking about the first anime series since the second doesn't follow the manga plot line.
The first series changes the plot part way through the school trip arc of the manga. It has its own ending which was not liked by the manga fans. The school trip arc is complete in the current ominibus volume 2. You will find the deviation there.

I think that chapter 53 is the first that was not in the anime.
There were some story elements and characters left out of the anime starting with, approximately, chapter 38. Those things were not necessary for the anime story but they are significant in the manga.
If you are thinking of starting the manga where the anime leaves off, rather than starting from the beginning, I suggest that you start with volume 5 of the Del Rey release.

To expand on that, the anime removed several events of the school trip from the context of the school trip, thereby eliminating several key plot points that matter later in the manga. It also entirely eliminated a character who later becomes a regular and two notable confrontations between 3-A and the villains of that arc. If you intend to get into the Negima manga, you really should re-read the entire Kyoto arc (like Alan said, omnibus 2, or volume 4 if you're going by individual volumes).
Also, disregard the entire ending arc of the anime in terms of canon continuity, as it directly conflicts with character and plot points of the manga.

|I've got another question for everyone and it involves the manga "Fairy Tail." I just read one of the latest reviews of it but I was wondering something. I seem to remember a story about this showing up on your website once about Hiro Mashima basing a character in his manga on one of you. I don't remember when this character showed up or which volume this character appeared. Would you guys help me out? Would you guys please find out this for me? I'd be grateful if you did.

Alright so this has been I question thats been bugging me for a bit. Is Viz ever planning to release Aitsu no Daihonmei (or His most favourite in english)? First they say they're releasing it in september, now it's moved to november 13 (I think). I can't find it on rightstuf or their site and the only place I've seen a copy at was amazon.com (no help for me up in Canada). I really want to support the english release, but if I have no means to get it then I can't help it. Does anyone know where I can actually get it or if there going to put it on rightstuf soon?
Thanks in advance.

PUPILS at an Evesham Road school raced their way to success by reading as many books as possible.
A competition launched at Crabbs Cross Academy following the opening of their new library saw each student given their own racing car on a track, with the aim being to read 30 books.
All of the children who reached the finish line were entered into a prize draw for a Kindle and Year 1's Ashleigh Power was drawn as the lucky winner.
A spokeswoman said: "The purpose of this initiative was to encourage the children to be reading regularly, whilst also developing their love of reading.
"The children have really enjoyed checking their progress on the racing tracks and overtaking classmates in their bid to reach the finish line."

Yummy delights at Vittorio's Steak House
Steaks, pastas and pizzas – these are three of my favorite treats that are available at Vittorio's Steak House. It isn't everyday that I get to be able to dine in, hang out and have my fill on my favorite treats, for everything is a lttle bit pricey, and the place can be a hour's ride from my residence in Manila.
I've heard a whole lot about Vittorio's Steak House since its opening. They offered delicious steaks, freshly-baked pizzas and many more, and I saw positive reviews from the bloggers and their customers.
I could only go here whenever I'm with my friends, or if there's payday. Good thing i they had this promo published on Metrodeal, where I can avail in their 500 pesos worth of meal and drinks for only 299 pesos. Although they had a couple of metrodeal complaints posted online, I bought numerous vouchers on their website because they are one of trusted websites awarded by the Reader's Digest. this alone made me convinced to acquire the vouchers on their site.
Glad that I bought these vouchers! Now I saved more money and I can go again for more, I just have to purchase these discount deals on metrodeal! Looking forward for the future purchases!: )

Add color with your xmas decors with LED ice drop lights
Christmas is definitely one the most popular time of the year! On this season, I'd love to decorate from the usual shirts to matchy sweaters, long sleeves along with cardigans to anything with footwear, pointy heels and dainty shoes. I also adore the colorful christmas decors hanging on your doors and christmas trees, as well as the dancing lights makes me giddy such as a child! No christmas is complete without looking at the spectacle of lights that makes you fall in love yet again.
But to buy LED lights for decors this holidays can really pricey. I remember my neighbor buying a type of LED lights and it costs him a hefty n amount of money! Though I had to admit that she really can afford it as well as LED lights are much safer to use when compared to a christmas lights – but to waste too much on a seasonal stuff can be quite much impractical.
Good thing I saw Metrodeal's promo on LED Lights – this falling snow effect LED lights only costs 599 pesos rather than 1200 pesos, now 50% off from the original price. Good thing they had this deal for I am a fan of a snow (there's no snow in Manila this is why! ) and I've been looking just for this LED light design for the actual longest time. Now's the best time for you to have one while it's still there.
So I bought the offer, have it delivered at any office and went home with these babies. Good thing the lights are all working and installing is a cinch. I can't help but to adore the décor after the setting up, everything's fell into place.
It was a money well spent. Glad i always made a choice, thanks to the amazing promo from Metrodeal!

Delicious treats at Black Canyon Coffee
I love coffee and I enjoy treats. It has been my drug especially when i'm sleepy and I need my adrenaline rush in the office. Coffee at certain coffee shops are simply meh to me, especially towards well-known coffee shops around, that's why I'm now looking for some other available coffee shops for creative options.
And then I saw Black Canyon Coffee, a shop that is situated in Taguig that provides delectable coffee delights and sumptuous meals that will surely satisfy your palettes.
That is why this promo from Metrodeal is amongst the most affordable promos that I've ever seen nowadays – for only 250 pesos, I am able to avail on their 500 pesos worth of food and drinks, and it's a great deal! That is why I purchased much more that I could use most of it on certain occasions.
Glad that i made my purchases at metrodeal, till the next!

Quick escape to the city at Coolwaves Ranch and Waterpark Resort
It's already rainy season and I wanna have a quick getaway from the city even of it's just for a day. Weird as it might seems, but I wanna swim for the whole day and have fun together with #LeBeau, for after we managed to graduate from college and started doing the job, we don't have any occasion together except on weekends and holidays. Our erratic work schedules is really a total BS for us.
And as we thought of having a simple getaway, he saw this promo from Metrodeal: a day or night pass from Coolwaves Ranch and Waterpark Resort is a thing that we're looking for! A quick getaway to Bulacan is something which we need, and I like the fact the rates are affordable!
Judging from its reviews, it has positive scores from other patrons. Their rooms are clean, they had amennities that other resorts does not have, the place looks relaxing and also the slides are just... wow. The rates can also be affordable, and it's even made more cheaper because of the promo from Metrodeal. That is why we decided to buy this deal no matter what, and we'll definitely go with this!
We bought their overnight promo that is also one in this deal, went there and spent the rest of the day swimming, eating and having a good time! We've never had this type of bonding moment after we graduated, that is why this one is special to me.
Thank you Metrodeal just for this wonderful promo. We'll definitely buy you next time!: )

Having a feast fit for a king at Buffet 101!
Could not believe that I'll be getting my birthday at Buffet 101! I was informed by my own sister that she'll be treating me for weekday lunch, but I never thought that it'll be at probably the most visited buffet restaurants in the entire Metro!
I know that the price tag on their buffet costs too much even for their weekday promo, but she informed me that she bought vouchers from Metrodeal, where their Buffet 101 promo costs half the cost! Now that's really something!
One of many things that I like about Buffet 101 will be the service. The staff are all awesome in looking after our purchased vouchers, drinks and on the things that we asked for. Food is absolutely divine, with lots of choices from their sumptuous delights and desserts, and many of us went home plenty full and happy.
Food is awesome, and a lot of thanks to metrodeal for that awesome promo!

SumoSam Podium's delectable set meals from MetroDeal
SumoSam continues to be my one of my favorite Japanese restaurants flourishing around the country. Freshly cooked dishes continues to be always the best for every person, and their Japanese fusion meals never ceases to thrills me in an effective way.
But the downside of their particular deliciously sumptuous meals is that- these were all pricey. I can't help but to feel sad which i can only afford it through payday, and not during the times where I'm seriously craving for yummy set meals that are deliciously good till the final bite.
Good thing that there's this amazing promo from MetroDeal, where they give 55% off on the set meals from SumoSam Podium branch. After I saw this through Metrodeal, I know that it's gonna be a deal worth buying for.
And so i bought 2 vouchers for us and for my boyfriend, called the restaurant for reservations and went to The Podium to avail on our SumoSam purchase from Metrodeal. Everything is so actually quite easy, and the staff is taking to us.
What I really love about this deal is they had huge portions on their own set meals – each set meal is definitely good for two, but since we a huge appetite, we opted to give the set meal each for ourselves lol!
I love this deal, its service and the rapid transactions! I never had any difficulty with my purchases from Metrodeal, and I'm going to be coming back for more in their deals soon!

Go kart fascination at City kart Racing
I love to drive an automobile, the adrenaline rush is something that I really like to experience everytime I'm in my car and whan i'm on my way to my destination. Somehow, the gruelling traffic is getting in my nerves and to have to wait for minutes (sometimes hours) get in my destination is frustrating. Totally getting into my nerves.
I also had missed playing race-related games: GTO, Grand Theft Auto... the list moves on and on as I finished every one of the games in my console. This is my only escape to the reality that is the stressful traffic – who would like to deal with the 4-hr commute from Makati to Quezon City anyway? And yeah, EDSA sucks major time.
Then a friend of mine invited me to get a Go Kart in Makati. The place is just a few minutes away from my place of work, and I would want to drive fast like I'm in a race itself! He bought his vouchers from Metrodeal where he bought it at over fifty percent of a price, now that's a whole lot! I asked him for information on his purchase and asked him whether it's a scam, but in truth it was a smooth-sailing deal! We went inside City Cart Racing with relief.
Why did I asked if it's a scam? I've read some reviews about Metrodeal being this kind of ass on their deals, but since we availed on this treat, it only means it's a purely legit deal!

VZ is up ~19% YTD excluding dividends. It's worth more to hold VZ than sell it, so I'm sure the conflict of interest was the primary motivation to close his position.

Why? If he discloses everything and no longer has ties, why should he no accept the appointment? Perhaps the better question would be to ask why is he being appointed?
1 recommendation
Karl Bode would be a good choice.
Someone who will basically call "bullshit" on anything the big companies try to say.
The problem I see is that the FCC has turned into a bunch of corporate "yes men" who cave to anything that the big companies say the FCC should do. Wouldn't having the exact opposite of a "yes man" do the job we want? Someone who slaps the companies down and reigns them in.
No longer has ties? Laughable. He has a future in the industry to protect.
Why? If he discloses everything and no longer has ties, why should he no accept the appointment?
The right thing to do would be to refuse the appointment based on his lobbying history.
Selling at all-time high for most of the stocks, that was some sacrifice to pay

Lord, Heal the Legacy of Auschwitz
If Your Blood had been over
those iron gates
would such evil have occured?
I see the striped pajamas of infamy
that collects spider webs
why have we tried to push
it from our consciousness?
Lord, Heal the Legacy of Auschwitz
my diverse introspections
muddies the truth
when all I want is justice
for them,
for Anne Frank,
I cling to their suffering
the razors of that ignoble
forces the taste
of genocide
into our mouths
Lord, Heal the Legacy of Auschwitz,
When Your Israel,
was hunted down by
demon packs,
I am reminded
of the squeeling pigs
running over the cliff,
legion came back
to finish the job
Lord, Heal the Legacy of Auschwitz,
when satan distorts it still
denying that it happened
and fools believe him
the descendants of Abraham
and Isaac and Jacob,
the dead bones of millions
I wonder if Ezekiel saw
this vision of hell
Lord, Heal the Legacy of Auschwitz
reveal the secrets we've discarded
of individuals, not mass
graves, of smiles, and laughs
words they spoke,
prayers they wept
I wonder if they were
when satan created
to incinerate
and remnants
of Israel,
the revenge
he planned
when they escaped
from Egypt
Lord, Heal the Legacy of Auschwitz,
it's survivors that slipped
away from life,
I wonder how long they
saw the ghost trains?
the nightmares
they surrendered to
their fingers and hands
of vibrancy and beauty
reduced to breathing
through bars
their last freedom
dignity ripped open
as a scab on humanity
Lord, Heal the Legacy of Auschwitz,
where animals wore uniforms
and the stinch of their rule
made the air putrid,
polluting basic decency
Why didn't more people
stand up for the Jews?
Where was the Church?
The Christians?
Were there more
goats than lambs?
Lord, Heal the Legacy of Auschwitz,
AUSCHWITZ that seems to have no voice
AUSCHWITZ that seems to have received no justice
AUSCHWITZ that appears to have no face
but ours,
can the lie be so deep?
when the devil says You Forsook Judah
But, no, there was a greater purpose
a heart of wealth in all of this
When Paul wrote that Israel
would return
the Root of David
Vengeance belongs to God
The Lion of Judah
We cannot heal the destruction
the breach of history
when the enemy sought
to rip the fabric of it
We have a Saviour
Whose Name is Jesus
He will claim the Victory
for Israel
He will fly His Banner
of Love over them
"It is He that will heal the legacy of Auschwitz."
"And He has exalted the horn of His people,
The praise of all His saints-
Of the children of Israel,
A people near to Him.
Praise the Lord!
(Psalm 148:14)
I have never forgotten those who were murdered in the Holocaust. I won't say died because they wouldn't have died if they were not brutally tortured, shot, incinerated, starved, and butchered. Only the Lord can Heal such an evil legacy. Only His Love will heal such an ugly legacy given to all humanity.
Yes, Auschwitz is one of the worst evils in the history of the world. But there have been so many other genocides. Only the Lord Jesus can heal all the terrible infamies of history. The slave trade, Bosnia, Rwanda, the Native populations around the world, to name a few. Only through prayer and healing and love can humanity begin to heal. Thank-you so much for commenting on this piece raymondo. This piece means alot to me. The Holocaust has always haunted me. May God bless you. TO GOD BE ALL GLORY!!!! your friend, In-Christ matty
– Matty B. Duran
We must never forget the horrible tragedy of what Hitler and his minions did to all those people. If we forget then we are doomed to let history repeat itself. Thank you for pouring this out of your heart, as hard as it was to read it is quite beautiful in it's own rite. I am a relative of the Frank family, so this piece really rings true with me. After reading her diary in my school days and reading it again in my adult life, I don't think that I can ever let the haunting thoughts eacapse me. I have forgiven Hitler (as hard as that was to do), because our Lord Jesus has forgiven us…. God bless – Julie
Thank-you for your comment solareclips-Ju…. I cannot forget the grievous sins committed against the Jewish people. Although I am not Jewish, the Holocaust has always been apart of my life, it has been tattooed on me as well, as Israel are God's Chosen Nation. I support the state of Israel. I know there are forces still at work to destroy Israel. My heart is with those victims and the children, and grandchildren of the victims and survivors of the concentration camps. Yes, we must forgive those who perpetrated the crimes, and those who continue to deny the Holocaust. That is why we must always remember Auschwitz, but only the Lord can heal it's legacy. I love Jesus too! Only He can transform the deepest wounds. God bless you my sister. TO OUR JESUS CHRIST BE ALL PRAISE AND GLORY!!! In-Christ matty
I also wanted to write that Anne Frank is a heroine in the truest sense of the word. I read that book, and even though I've been told she was Jewish by race, I see Christ in her words. The forgiveness of Jesus that would see good in her perpetrators. In my heart I believe she was saved. What a legacy your family has. I'm sorry that your family has suffered such tragedy. But at the same time her spirit triumphed over the evil done to her and her family. I believe hers was the triumph of the Holy Spirit. In-Christ matty
– Matty B. Duran
You are right, Matty! The Holocaust is certainly the most recent tragedy to befall the Jewish people, but we only have to read the Book of Esther to realize that they narrowly escaped another which would have meant their total destruction, had God not delivered them through the instrumentality of Esther. God promised Abraham that he would never allow his seed to be destroyed and this promise was passed down through Isaac and Jacob and on to the Twelve Tribes of Israel. Though dreadful things have happened to them throughout the course of human history, God has not forgotten his promise. We should bear in mind, however, that it meant the people as a whole, not individuals.
We read in the first chapter of the Book of Zechariah:-
"12 ¶Then the angel of the Lord answered and said, O Lord of hosts, how long wilt thou not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which thou hast had indignation these threescore and ten years? 13 And the Lord answered the angel that talked with me with good words and comfortable words. 14 So the angel that communed with me said unto me, Cry thou, saying, Thus saith the Lord of hosts; I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy. 15 And I am very sore displeased with the heathen that are at ease: for I was but a little displeased, and they helped forward the affliction. 16 Therefore thus saith the Lord; I am returned to Jerusalem with mercies: my house shall be built in it, saith the Lord of hosts, and a line shall be stretched forth upon Jerusalem. 17 Cry yet, saying, Thus saith the Lord of hosts; My cities through prosperity shall yet be spread abroad; and the Lord shall yet comfort Zion, and shall yet choose Jerusalem."
This proves that God will never forsake his Chosen People, but is gathering them together from the four quarters of the earth and they will eventually be enabled to rebuilt his Holy Temple in Jerusalem.
The first Temple, built by Solomon, was a shining diadem. The next Temple, built on the return of the Jews from the Babylonian Captivity, was not made of so many fine materials, but was just as holy. It was built against great opposition, so much so that those who worked on it dared not leave their swords out of reach! However, they overcame that severe opposition and completed the Holy House. Now the time is fast approaching when they will be building another and the opposition is just as great, if not greater, but what God wills, He will bring to pass.
Thank-you for such a thoughtful and insightful comment~I truly do appreciate it BlueMoonRose~May our Lord continue to bless you for His Glory and for His Service~
– Matty B. Duran
God said for the disobedience of His people, He would scatter them throughout the earth, and as horrible as this was, God raised Hitler to power for that time and He also destroyed him. As God also prophesied that He would gather His children back to Israel, this is happening right now!!! Jews from all nations are going home. His heart is for the people of Israel and His ultimate plan is to gather them to Himself as a hen gathers her chicks. They will one day kneel and confess that Christ is their Messiah, praise God!!! These acts in history are for His glory and our good, nothing gets past our God! This is a beautiful heart felt prayer that will one day be answered by our God. And those who deny that this happened will be cast into the lake of fire and utterly destroyed!
Thank-you Viv~Thank-you for the wonderful comment, for all who read this poem~ALL FOR THE GLORY OF GOD~FOR A MERE MOMENT~In The Blink of an eye~Our Lord God lifts up, casts down~But He will never make a complete end of Israel~HE is Faithful~JESUS IS OUR GLORY~
– Matty B. Duran
Why did He allow it to happen in the first place???
Thank-you dedmanshootn~To God Be All The Glory~

The Raw and the Cooked
From the Publisher. In his book of photographs The Raw and the Cooked, Peter Bialobrzeski sets forth the essence of his observations from his unique series of photos about the development of Asian mega-cities (Neon Tigers, Lost in Transition) and their slums (Case Study Homes). Starting with the simplest, homemade vernacular architecture, based on human proportions and made with found construction materials, his photos range as far as the exorbitant planned cities of glass, steel, and concrete. Buildings rise higher and higher into the sky, more and more resources are wasted, the new unmercifully shoves aside the old. Seductively beautiful tableaux from fourteen different countries depict the kind of "progress" that triggers a sense of anxiety and trepidation. Where is all of this leading?
Photographer Peter Bialobrzeski takes us on a voyage through Asian megacities in this large-format book, moving from the periphery to the center, from what will be torn down to what will replace it; moments of tension between the two are particularly striking. By placing the key to the names of the cities at the back of the book, we don't perceive the difference between one place and the next; a fictional city results. In this Baudelairean stroll, night looks like day and the cities have never looked so simultaneously complex and beautiful.

This is the first time we attended a production at the 10th Avenue theater. The facilities were very good. The staff were welcoming and accommodating. The production was very good although sad. I liked the creative way the story was told and felt the actors were excellent. My only suggestion was that there was a lot of yelling; some of the lines could have been said and received better had the actors had not over dramatized some of their lines. All-in-all it was a very good experience and would consider attending another play at the 10th Avenue theater. Thank you.

Oxfam launches review of UK direct marketing
Oxfam has called a review of its direct marketing arrangements as it looks to shake up its fundraising activity.
Oxfam: four-year contract
The charity is seeking an agency in the UK to help it increase donations. Oxfam currently works with WPN Chameleon.
Chemistry meetings with six agencies are scheduled to take place in the next two weeks, with final pitches set for October. The contract will last for four years.
The review coincides with the arrival of a new director of fundraising at Oxfam, Tim Hunter, who was previously the international fundraising director at Unicef.
In July 2013, Oxfam posted a 16 per cent decline in voluntary income, which contributed to a £17.6 million drop in total income. The fall was mainly caused by a reduction in income from one-off appeals and fundraising events.
However, the charity's latest results, released last month, show an improvement. Total income increased £22 million year on year.
Rainey Kelly Campbell Roalfe/Y&R is Oxfam's creative agency, while Proximity London handles the digital business.
