Ronald Weinland said earlier in the year , that if by July 2008, America was not nuked, he would not only declare himself a false prophet but also insane. Obviously, America was not nuked in July; which by Ronald's own words makes him an insane false prophet……not to mention a liar.. He has just made more excuses for his failed prophecies. His followers need to wake up and see they are following a fruitcake. …Please read the following article by James Lloyd of Christian Media Research. What he has to say tells the other side of the story . Most importantly, what James Lloyd has to say is very biblical….So keep scrolling down. May it enlighten the misled to the Truth.
God's Final Witness Is Ronald Weinland?
The latest figure to step forth touting himself to be one of the Two Witnesses is a bizarre false prophet named Ronald Weinland, has added his name to the infamous list of delusional religionists in the strange days that have found us.
Another partaker of the the tainted legacy of Herbert W Armstrong's Worldwide Church Of God, Weinland is aggressively following in the WWCOG's tried and true approach that says Christians will believe almost anything — especially if they can get it for free. Like the cult of 7th Day Adventism and their ubiquitous free publications Sign Of The Times and National Sunday Law, Ron Weinland pays organizations to give away his book 2008 God's Final Witness.
Obviously, the New Testament tells us the Gospel itself is to be free (Jesus never included book publishing as a definition of the actual Gospel), but apparently the old admonition that says "you get what you pay for" is still intact, for it seems that most of the "free" goodies Christians can get are so laced with theological poison they're not exactly a Spiritual bargain. So it is with Weinland's piece of published trash (did I mention it was "free?")
At least I didn't have to waste a great deal of my free time to find out his doctrine, as Weinland hadn't finished even his first chapter before he came right out and flatly stated his supposed identity:
"I am to announce, through God's direct revelation, that I am one of those two witnesses." (page 16, 2008 God's Final Witness)
Throughout the book, Ron Weinland repeatedly tells us he is God's Final Prophet, and any who reject that statement will die in the tribulation to come:
"The primary reason God reserved the fullness of this knowledge, until now, is to reveal who is His end-time prophet….as a consequence, they will also recognize that I am who I say I am — God's end-time prophet and the spokeman of the two end-time witnesses." (page 204)
"I am God's end-time prophet, the one sent by the Almighty God to all mankind at this end-time." (page 173)
There are a dozen places in Weinland's book where he claims the world will be judged based upon their response to his macabre message. Conversely, Jesus Christ clearly stated that those who continually trumpet their own standing are not of Him:
"He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him." (John 7:18)
Since Weinland calims to be able to receive "direct revelation" from God, it's curious to find the book filled with all sorts of faulty and unscriptural assertions — but perhaps his hotline to God wasn't working well when he wrote his epic. After all, even the Internet has bad days.
Most of this pretender's output draws on long taught precepts of Armstrong's Church of God (see the essay The House That Herbert Built on this site), but mercifully, Ron does have a couple of new wrinkles in the racist garbage he regurgitates from Armstrong. Of course, the Germans are still the bad guys (the "Assyrians" as taught by most of the Armstrongists), and the British are still the good guys (the "lost tribes" of Israel nonsense), but my personal favorite is how, even after the Millennial reign of Christ, everyone gets a second lifespan of 100 years in which to prove they're worthy.
Most Christian groups recognize Revelation tells of how all the wicked people who have died without Christ throughout history are to be resurrected for the judgment. Indeed, the central characteristic of this prophetic sequence is how all the dead who rejected Christ, were judged and cast into the lake of fire:
"And I saw a great white throne,…And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God…And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire." (Revelation 20:11,12,15)
Ron Weinland simply ignores this plain statement and twists the text completely as he claims that all the wicked dead don't end up in the lake of fire at all. He says everyone gets another chance to live in what he calls "God's world." Writing about the 1,000 year reign of Christ on Earth as described in Revelation, He states
"But the rest of the dead [the rest of mankind who had lived and died throughout the first 6,000 years of man's time on earth] lived not again until the thousand years were finished [they will be resurrected to physical life once more, but they will then be living in God's world once the 1,000 year reign of Jesus Christ has ended]." (page 140)
This means we'll see Hitler, Genghis Khan, Joseph Stalin, Attila the Hun, and even Charles Manson, in "God's World." However, since they've been dead for so long, Ron tells us they will behave better in their second time around.
Unfortunately, if they don't behave better, none of them will die young, because in Ronald Weinland's world, everyone gets exactly 100 years to prove they've learned their lesson:
"All who have ever lived and died will be resurrected to physical life once more. There will no longer be reproduction of human life, but there will be a one hundred year period of time for man to live and be judged by God's way of life." (page 169)
Actually, I may need that second hundred years, because since I've spoken against "God's Final Witness," Ron will likely see to it that I miss that Millennial thing. Hopefully, when I get my guaranteed hundred years, I won't have to live near Vlad The Impaler.
I probably should worry about writing such an inflammatory piece about God's Final Witness, because Ron Weinland is using his "witness" status to rain revenge on some other Armstrong followers who have apparently rubbed him the wrong way. As he offers his version of Revelation's mysterious passage concerning "seven thunders," he says he gets to choose the 5th thunder (and hints he may be directing the 6th and 7th) — and he has chosen to punish those in "God's Church" who haven't received him:
"This phase of the Fifth Thunder is one of my own choosing, which God has granted me….The method of this one last great chastening…the method for revealing through whom God is working will not be done through the manifestation of miraculous healings performed by ministers. Specifically regarding His two end-time witnesses, it will be by the power given to them for destruction and plagues, not healing!" (pages 101,104).
Weinland then recounts a recent event in which seven people died, and four were wounded, in a shooting spree in one of God's "scattered" Armstrongist churches that had failed to follow in the true path. Thus, although I've mocked this clown because he's so far off the Scriptural mark with false doctrine, we see the zeal of "believers" like Ron Weinland is not to be taken lightly. Truly, as Jesus said, "ye shall know them by their fruits" (Matthew 7:16).
On a recent bad fruit day in 2005, a religious zealot shot and killed 7 people, including the pastor, his son, and 5 church members before shooting himself. Weinland attributes this heinous deed to the removal of God's protection from this sect, and claims that God is humbling the Armstrong churches from which he sprang. He further states that other leaders of these Armstrongist sects will be killed until they receive Ron Weinland as God's Final Prophet!
Weinland then retells the story of how the prophets of Baal died horribly for crossing a prophet of the LORD, and says that he has asked God to execute those who have rejected his ministry in a similar fashion:
"I have also made a petition to the ETERNAL God of Abraham. My petitition is that this first phase of the Fifth Thunder be fulfilled exactly as it is written here." (page 107)
He even tells us who is next on his hit list:
"The most notable deaths early on, which are yet to come to pass, will be the two remaining television presenters in the Living Church Of God. The sound of this thunder will be intensified by the early deaths of the leaders of the Philadelphia Church of God, the Restored Church of God and the Church of the Great God." (page 108)
So much for Christ's admonition to pray for one's enemies, but this monster has nothing to do with Christ. To put it another way, this guy is completely out of his mind — but it's self evident some other entity has chosen to inhabit the mind of Ron Weinland.
In the face of his obvious willingness to shed the blood of anyone who disagrees with his murderous megalomania, it seems a bit mundane to detail more of his false doctrine. However, I will make the effort since the Apostle Paul instructed believers to
"Mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have have learned; and avoid them." (Romans 16:17)
Indeed, when Jesus Christ tells us "a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit" (Matthew 3:10), we would do well to recognize the tree is the group that generated all of this evil — and that tree is Herbert W Armstrong's Church Of God. Thus, the doctrinal elements of this wicked tree should be considered in the light of the Word of God.
Following in the heretical doctrines of Jehovah's Witnesses and early 7th Day Adventism, Weinland (and the "scattered" COG churches) teaches the doctrine of the trinity is a Catholic invention, and is a "perverted, sick, and damnable doctrine" (page 193.
Although a Roman Catholic council formally declared trinitarian doctrine in 325 AD, about 250 years before that, the Apostle John wrote
"For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one."
Indeed, in years of researching the subject, I've written a trilogy of books in which I determined the only three books written in the Old Testament after Israel's exile functioned as a prophetic introduction to Israel concerning the LORD's triune nature. The primary goal in these three Scriptural accounts was the standing of the believers, and the building of the temple — a subject anticipating the Spiritual temple of the New Testament Christian.
The book of Esther's great king Ahasuerus, the central character of the entire story, represents the Father, whereas Nehemiah, as the one who actually builds the temple represents the Son. The Holy Spirit is seen in the 3rd book of Ezra, as the priest who sanctifies the temple. It's difficult to see how the Catholics managed to write three Old Testament books 500 years before the first Catholic was born!
Weinland also subscribes to the doctrine of Soul Sleep, or annihilationism (once again, something Armstrong got from the cult of Adventism and Jehovah's Witnesses). This is the view that says when you're dead, your really dead, and your soul or Spirit does not continue until that second life heresy he's manufactured.
Although there are many Scriptures which refute this, the most commonly cited verse is Jesus telling the dying thief on the cross
"Verily I say unto you, today shalt thou be with me in paradise." (Luke 23:43)
Weinland says that only 144,000 from this small American sect are raised from the dead at the return of Christ (still more Adventist/JW heresy), but the Bible plainly shows there are millions who will be with Him in eternity:
"And they sung a new song, saying, Thou are worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation…
"After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands…." (Revelation 5:9,7:9)
Weinland follows the apostacy of British-Israelism which emphasizes the white European Anglo-Saxons as supposed descendants of the physically dispersed Israelite tribes. This spiritual malignancy is closely related to the "chosen people" myth that God holds certain racial groups (such as Jews and Anglo-Saxons) as heirs of prophetic promises based upon race. This blasphemy (also taught by the Rapture Cult) ignores the New Testament imperative that your identity in Christ is purely in the realm of the Spirit:
"For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision [Israelite family lineage] availeth anything, nor uncircumcision [Gentile family lineage]; but faith which worketh by love" (Galatians 3:26,29,5:6)
Although he dances around the subject a bit, Weinland actually teaches the 144,000 are going to become "elohim" — the Hebrew word that is rendered God in our English Bible. Claiming these special believers will become "the God-Kind," he states that
"Elohim is the name of the God Family." (page 206)
This is an ancient heresy, but since he has removed the divinity of Jesus, and redefined the Holy Spirit as a spiritual power without deity, there's plenty of room in the godhead for us:
"Herbert W Armstrong, was given understanding….that God's Family is not a closed trinity, but instead, it can grow into the billions." (page 206)
When you move into the realm of the "truth" put forth by this liar, he claims you will "become" God. Referencing the believer who allows God and His Son to dwell within them, he writes:
"This spiritual creation continues in spiritual growth until the time it can be born (of spirit) into the Kingdom of God, into the Family of God, becoming Elohim." (page 228)
"The 144,000 are referred to as the firstfruits of God's Family, since they will be the first from among the families of mankind to be resurrected and become God (Elohim)" (page 232)
Most people who have actually read their Bibles recognize this was exactly the temptation offered by the serpent to Eve in the Garden, if she would only eat the forbidden fruit:
"For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil." (Genesis 3:5)
The danger posed by false prophets such as Ronald Weinland is not related to prophecies which fail, it is related to predictions which are fulfilled. The fact is, just about every prophecy teacher on the planet is stating that tribulational events are upon us.
This means that because we do live in the generation which will see all of the tribulational events described in Bible prophecy fulfilled, when these things come to pass, many will follow deceivers like Ronald Weinland, simply because he declared such things. Conversely, it doesn't take a prophet to see famine or world economic chaos coming because the mechanisms are plainly visible to those who are knowledgeable in monetary systems and agriculture!
Worse yet, most believers have been erroneously taught a false prophet is one who misses a prediction, when the Scriptures actually state the opposite:
"If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder, And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee saying Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them; Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams…. (Deuteronomy 13:1-3)
It's crucial we see this passage tells us the prophet who pitches "other gods" is a false prophet; and since Jesus Christ is God, anyone who presents a version of Jesus outside of the Scriptural portrait is teaching about another god. The Apostle Paul made the connection when he said
"for if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached [or] if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, le him be accursed." (II Corinthians 11:4,Galatians 1:9)
The bottom line is Ronald Weinland, and the "Church of God" that spawned his demonic book, are deceivers of the first magnitude. In this regard, we would all do well to realize that if you find yourself standing at the throne of God and cast into the Lake of Fire for believing the words in books of this nature, you won't be able to tell God "But the book was free, so I thought it came from you."

What should take Local 127's place?
In case you missed it, the restaurants Local 127 and Lavomatic recently closed.
The Lavomatic space, a former laundromat on Vine Street in Over-the-Rhine, is being taken over by brothers Joe and John Lanni, though they haven't said exactly what they're going to do there. They also own Currito, Bakersfield and The Eagle.
Related: Bakersfield owners into Lavomatic spot; Local 127 closes
But so far, there is no announced tenant for the Local 127 space at 413 Vine St., Downtown. It's a good space, near Fountain Square and the Westin; the right restaurant could do great business at lunch as well as dinner.
What should it become? I have some ideas.
1. Maybe Martin Wade, who owns the building, should give the Lanni brothers a package deal: they do whatever it is they're going to do with the Lavomatic space, and in the Local 127 space they put a second location of SoHi, their sandwich and burger place in Oxford. I've only had their braised beef with kimchee sandwich, which was good, but I'm told the burgers are also excellent. It's a fast-casual set-up, great for lunch Downtown.
2. I have more than a theoretical interest in this question, since the Enquirer building is just a few blocks away at Third and Elm streets. When I crave Chinese for lunch (which is surprisingly frequently), I have to walk all the way to the opposite end of Downtown to Shanghai Mama's. I would vote for an Asian noodle bar, with the legendary quickness of Chinese restaurants but not the huge menu.
3: On the Asian theme, maybe we could get a Downtown version of the Malaysian restaurant Straits of Malacca, which is all the way north in Mason. It's great for Masonites, but I would love to be able to eat that delicious Indian/Thai/Chinese/Indonesian fusion cuisine on a more regular basis.
4. How about a vegetarian restaurant? Full-on: no meat on the menu, with salads and sandwiches at lunch and a creative vegetables-in-the-center menu at night.
5. Or maybe someone should back Local 127 chef Kyle Johnson in a big way and he could stay there and keep making his delicious farm-centric, American creative food. I ate there just a month or so ago and really liked it. I was planning to eat the grits with pork on a regular basis. I know: a grits restaurant!
Polly's review: Local 127 excels with hometown cooking
I would love to hear your thoughts. What would you like to see Downtown?

If you love peanut butter and chocolate then these are just for you. They need to spent a bit of time in the fridge or freezer before they are baked but are really worth of waiting.:-)
Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies
Yield: 15 to 20 sandwich cookies
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cooking Time: 15 to 20 minutes
Inactive Prep Time: 30 minutes, or overnight /I put the dough into the freezer for about 15 minutes/
2 cups all purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 tsp. baking soda
3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed in
1/4 tsp. salt
1 large egg
1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
3/4 cups creamy peanut butter, all natural
Mix together flour, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Set aside. Mix together butter, peanut butter, and all sugars in an electric mixer on medium high speed until light and fluffy. About 2 – 3 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla. Mix until combined. Add the flour mixture to the wet mixture until all combined. (Low speed).
Divide dough in half; roll out between two sheets of parchment paper to a 1/4-inch thickness. Stack on a baking sheet, and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes. (I was in the rush so I put the sheet in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes and it worked like a charm)
Preheat the oven to 325℉. If the dough has been refrigerated overnight, let dough stand at room temperature to soften. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out dough to a 1/4 thickness. Using a pizza cuter, cut dough into 2 1/2 by 1 inch rectangles. Using the floured tines of a fork, score the top of each cookie. Or you can use a cookie cutter like I did which works just as fine.
Place the cookies on a baking sheet (covered with butter or butter and flour etc). Place 1 1/2 inches apart, and refrigerate until firm, about 15 minutes.
Bake, rotating sheets halfway through, until lightly golden around the edges and firm in the center for about 15 – 20 minutes. Let cookies cool completely before assembling, at least 30 minutes.
2/4 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup chocolate /mixed bittersweet+milk/
2tbs butter
Peanut Butter….several TBS just enough to get the slight peanut butter taste of the ganache.
Make the chocolate ganache..let cool. add peanut butter and combine well.
Sandwich cookies and enjoy.
These make for a wonderful gift as well.

Decking Water Feature Design
One of the many advantages of the use of decking in a water feature design is the ability to use the timber to overlap the edges of the water, thus providing a platform from which to feed and view the fish from. Additionally the same timber can be used to construct a jetty or a seating area.
However the use of decking is not limited only to the creation of large features but can also be used to frame small still ponds whose darkness contrasts beautifully against the warmth of the wood, or to create pathways or bridges over water features.

Giant bugs. I shouted in fear but then laughed.
Walking and talking tree. I hugged the talking tree.
From the magical forest with full of candies and chocolates, I entered a tunnel to the what they called Imaginarium.
Then I met a lady wizard who asked me and the kids with me to spell the magic word with our pixie wand!
In the end, we saw a huge rainbow where we can express our dreams!
This is the Imaginarium experience brought to us by Wonka and Candy Corner.
[Fun-filled and "sweet" day.]
The Wonka Imaginarium is the first of its kind in the Philippines. It was my first time too.
If you love to have the same exciting and fun experience, visit their exhibit at Grand Atrium, Shangri-la Plaza in Mandaluyong City. Hurry! This will be until tomorrow only.

French anti-doping agency wants to be back at Tour de France
Under new management, ALFD are willing to work with the UCI again
France's national anti-doping agency (AFLD) said it is once again ready to help play a role beating the drugs cheats on the Tour de France after independent observers called for an end to its spat with world cycling chiefs.
The AFLD was officially sidelined from working at any International Cycling Union-affiliated races in France this year after accusing the UCI in 2009 of favouritism towards some teams.
It was claimed, notably, that the Astana team of three-time champion Alberto Contador – with whom seven-time champion Lance Armstrong raced in 2009 – kept UCI doping inspectors waiting for nearly an hour as samples were sought.
Despite being France's national agency, it left the AFLD virtually outlawed. In order to carry out controls on riders at the 2010 Tour, for example, the AFLD had to make special requests to the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).
A report released Tuesday by independent observers who have been called to look into how the fight against doping can be improved hit out at the dispute, calling for a "quick resolution".
Now under the leadership of Bruno Genevois following the departure of Pierre Bordry in October, the AFLD said it was prepared to play a role again.
"The AFLD would be happy to join forces with those of the UCI for major races (Paris-Nice, the Dauphine Libere and the Tour de France) as of next season, as much as before as during the competition," Genevois said in a statement.
"The presence of observers on the Tour de France has helped increase the impartiality and efficiency of controls when they take place. This has also proved dissuasive to riders tempted to exploit the possibilities of doping."
Cancer survivor Armstrong, who has faced unfounded accusations of doping throughout his career, will bring the curtain down on his career at the Tour Down Under in January 2011. His comeback from retirement there in 2009 left the UCI facing criticism after the world governing body waived its own rules regarding the registration of retired or inactive riders to allow the American to return to the sport in Australia.
Contador meanwhile has been provisionally suspended by the UCI after a positive test for clenbuterol, a banned substance, during this year's Tour de France race which he won for the third time.
The 27-year-old Astana rider, who has signed a two-year deal with Saxo Bank for the 2011 season, insists he is the victim of contaminated meat brought in from Spain which he ate.

This means you are wearing business trousers, shirts (often ties, though option without), dress shoes and whatever your wardrobe includes (waist coat?), crawling around on the floor.
Personally, I think this is a little overkill, I can completely understand having this dress code when you are out and about representing the company to customers etc. But when you're sitting here behind a screen all day, or under a desk patching, installing or removing gear, what would you consider reasonable dress ware?
Do you feel that is should be a universal policy like we have now? or split it out based on your external interaction?
What is considered business casual to you? (acceptable)
I am not saying get rid of the dress code all together, there are reasons to have them, all of which are valid. But in my opinion it needs to be proportionate to the job you are in, not something that can be smacked on universally.
EDIT: Just to make clear, this doesn't just apply to IT, this also applies to CSR's who are sitting on the phone all day too!

File:RTI-rules2017-redraft-060417 06 Apr 2017
Note: The DoPT, vide their circular No 1/5/2016-IR dated 31 Mar 2017, has invited suggestions from the public on the proposed RTI Rules, 2017 attached to it. These rules have nothing in them to ensure compliance of the law by PIOs, FAAs and ICs and are obviously intended to make it more difficult for information seekers to access information and easy for public servants to avoid providing them. If anything these proposals only expose the public servants who have drafted them and approved them for circulation as idiots and traitors!
In this context it is pertinent to recollect the Natchiappan Commitee of Parliament which had invited suggestions from the public on the amendments required for the RTI Act. In fact even that move was seen by activists working in this area as a move by the then government to neutralise the good aspects of the transparency law. In the event many citizens wasted a lot of their time and energy to give suggestions which did not see the light of the day.
Subsequently, the tainted PriceWater Cooper House was engaged (at considerable cost, of course) to study the implemention of this law. And they did produce a glossy report which, in my opinion, can be easily trashed. A copy of the report is in my posession and can be provided, through email, to anyone seeking it.
Under the circumstances it has become necessary to draft an entirely independant set of rules for the effective implementation of the RTI Act in keeping with its objectives- for setting out the practical regime of right to information for citizens to secure access to information under the control of public authorities, in order to promote transparency and accountability in the working of every public authority and also to contain corruption and to hold Governments and their instrumentalities accountable to the governed- as stated in its preamble.
In exercise of the powers conferred by section 27 of the Right to Information Act, 2005 (22 of 2005) and in supersession of the Right to Information Rules 2012, except as respects things done or omitted to be done before such supersession, but the procedures being applicable to all applications and appeals which are at different stages of processing as on the date of these rules becoming effective, the Central Government hereby makes the following rules, namely:-
1.Short title and commencement:-
(1) These rules may be called the Right to Information Rules,2017.
(2) They shall come into force on the date of their publication in the Official Gazette.
2. Definitions:- In these rules, unless the context otherwise requires,—
(a)"Act" means the Right to Information Act, 2005 (22 of 2005);
(b) "public authority" means any authority or body or institution of self- government as defined in the Act and would include Members of Parliament also.
(c)" First Appellate Authority (FAA) " means the public servant superior to the CPIO and designated as such as per Sec 19(1) of the Act.
(c) All other words and expressions used herein but not defined in these rules shall have the same meanings as assigned to them in the Act.
3. Designation of Public Information Officers (PIO), Nodal PIO, Assistant PIO and FAA(s) under Sec 5 and 19 of the Act.
(a) The head of a public authority having a strength of 5 or more public servants, including himself, will designate a central PIO and also designate himself as the appellate authority.
(b) Any public authority having a strength of 15 or more public servants shall designate an additional central public information officer for every 15 public servants or part thereof. Where there is more than one central public information officer one of them shall be designated as the nodal central public information officer who will co-ordinate activities with the others. The nodal central public information officer shall be assisted by a central assistant public information officer.
(c) There shall be an appellate authority for every 3 CPIOs in a public authority and in cases where there is more than one appellate authority in a public authority the head of the public authority shall be the nodal appellate authority coordinating the activities of all the appellate authorities in the public authority.
(d) In the case of public authorities having less than 5 public servants, the head of the public authority shall be the CPIO and his superior (in another public authority) shall be the appellate authority.

Houston Chronicle
Forty years later, women come together again in Houston
Honoring the 1977 National Women's Conference with events, discussions and more Forty years ago, young women relay-running a torch from New York to Houston for the first National Women's Conference were met with hostility, sexual harassment and sabotage as they crossed southern states. In Houston, though, they were met by 30,000 cheering delegates – conference participants from all 50 states, indigenous tribal lands and six U.S. territories. And some of these runners and delegates are returning to Houston this weekend for the anniversary of that extraordinary event: the first – and to date only – duly elected gathering of U.S. women delegates.

Amarcord's Manhattan location featured in this post is at 252 Lafayette Street between Spring and Prince streets. Their Brooklyn location is at 223 Bedford Ave between North 4th & North 5th streets
|Check out Amarcord's website at www.amarcordvintagefashion.com and follow them on social media @amarcordvintage
I loved Amarcord's location in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. I also love their location in Soho. I wrote about my shopping trip at their Williamsburg location last Friday. After visiting the Brooklyn location I couldn't wait to visit their Soho store.
Amacord's Soho location was super bright, inviting and perfectly arranged. As a color lover I really appreciate how they arrange the clothing by color. It makes it so much easier for me to shop as I always go for colorful pieces. As soon as I introduced myself to the sales girl and plopped my stuff down near the register I hurried over to check out the most colorful clothing rack in the store. I loved every single piece I picked up. I also loved the fancy fitting rooms that go so perfectly with the store's theme and decor. I tried on several outfits and fell in love everything I tried on. I am a vintage lover with no preference for designer vintage clothes but it happened that everything I tried on was a designer piece. They were so luxurious and very well made. I now have a greater appreciation for vintage designer clothing. They are timeless and I'll continue to send everyone I know who is looking for amazing and one of a kind pieces to Amarcord.
I hurts so much that I wasn't able to buy all or some of the pieces. My closet has officially exploded with clothes now in several areas of my apartment. Also my credit card bill brings me to tears. So I passed on all of the items especially with my hubby/photographer keeping such a close eye on my every move and making sure I stick to my no shopping pact. But I'll go back very soon to find the perfect piece that will be well worth the splurge!
Have you been to either of Amarcord's locations? Which location is your favorite?

KingsRoad Hack
KingsRoad is a free online RPG set in the troubled lands of Alderstone. Save a world shrouded in darkness by defeating the foul villains and creatures.
At the beginning I would like to note that KingsRoad Hack v3.3 is the software created by me and creaping any financial profits is strictly prohibited.
The software is completely free and designed for use for casual KingsRoad players.
How it works?
As You saw on the video above KingsRoad Hack v3.3 software changes statistics in the game.It's NOT necessary to type password to your account, as many players worry about it, because KingsRoad Hack v3.3 changes statistics in game database searching for account only by nickname/login so you don't need to be afraid of hacking into your account.
- Download KingsRoad Hack v3.3
- Unpack downloaded file.
- Open/Run .exe file. (Logging into your account isn't necessary at the moment. I did it only to show you how my software works).
- Enter Your login and click "Login".
- You must wait a moment until your application connects to the server and searchs the account.
- After a while statistics of your account should be showed.
- Add Coins, Dino Dollars and click "Change statistics" (first time I recommend not to make values too high because management can suspect something, I recommend to increase valur from time to time so that they won't find out about it).
- When the "Complete" notification will be showed, we can log into our account or refresh the page if we already did it before and enjoy your increased Gold and Gems.

If prospective donors read anything about your campaign, or about the project to be undertaken, it is likely they will read the Case for Support or Case Statement. This may be the only thing they read about the campaign, so the Case Statement must be the most powerful, compelling and forceful document they see.
The Case Statement is the definitive written piece in any capital campaign. It centralizes all of the information that describes the organization, the goals and objectives of the campaign, the competence of the organization to serve its constituents, and outlines the proposed plan for fundraising and how gifts may be made.
Writing this document is often the first challenge in creating a campaign. The case must be compelling, crafted as a persuasive argument to support the organization's request for funds. We don't have space to discuss all aspects of developing the statement, but we do want to offer some direction to make your Case Statement outstanding.
Your Case Statement can be short or long. It can be on a typed page or packaged in a printed brochure or booklet. The most important aspect is for your language to sing, for word pictures to be emotional, and for you to show how people's lives are changed through your organization and the project at hand.
Here are a few tips on writing a compelling Case Statement:
- Sell solutions, not needs. Your project provides solutions to a problem, so don't go overboard in discussing the problems. Identify the problem/need, then quickly show how your project addresses the need, solves the problem, and why the project needs the readers commitment and support to accomplish the task.
- Be subjective. This isn't an essay or a news article. You don't need to maintain a reporter's objectivity. Appeal to the readers' emotions, and push the hot buttons. Make it personal to the reader. Statistics are boring, so use testimonials and actual stories where possible.
- Choose your words with care. Use action words and descriptive adjectives; avoid passive words, constructions like "had been," or adverbs. Create pictures in the reader's mind with your own words. Make positive declarations rather than issuing statements. Be truthful and factual, but compelling. Some words carry more weight and are more emotionally laden than others.
- Illustrate the narrative. The Case Statement should be attractive, drawing the reader's eye. Break the copy with headlines and bullets. Use headers and footers. Sprinkle graphics, photos, and illustrations judiciously throughout the narrative. These techniques will help the piece appear easy to read.
- Lead the reader. You want the reader to act, to get out his or her checkbook, correct? Then you have to tell them what you want them to do. Tell them how much this solution to the problem your organization is facing is going to cost. Explain clearly how they can make a gift.
- Remember, you're writing on paper, not carving on stone. Edit. Read it again, then edit it again. Have someone else read and edit it. Change it when it needs to be changed. Write the narrative, then go back and punch it up. Don't be afraid of going over the top, you can always tone it down, if necessary.
By following these tips and techniques, your Case Statement will make the impact you seek. In addition to explaining the fundraising campaign, your case will win your prospects over, help to prepare them for a solicitation visit, and assure them that your organization is taking a leadership role in bettering the community. The Case Statement can stand alone, serving as your voice to the community. Make it compelling, clear and loud.

InIg 5
R: Arcane, D: Momentary, T: Individual
This spell informs you of the exact direction and approximate range of any one fire you have an Arcane Connection to (something ignited, burned, or branded by it). The fire must not of died out since the connection was obtained, for if it does, a reignited fire counts as a separate flame (and thus the connection is lost).

Contributor: Mark Faulkner
Determination of Fire's Life
InIg 10
R: Voice, D: Moon, T: Individual
The caster can determine the approximate lifespan of a fire based on how rapidly materials are being used up (wax consumed or wood burnt).
Petronella of Merinita developed this spell to complement her fire duration faerie spells. Knowing approximately how long a fire can continue to burn without additional fuel meant she was able to order grogs to get plenty of firewood.

The caster senses which parts of the target structure are illuminated.
Ranulf of Flambeau uses this spell to evaluate the number of wakeful inhabitants in buildings that he comes across during the night. Ranulf has a deficency in intellego but his deep understanding of ignem allows him to cast this spell with spontaneous magic.
(Base 1 +1 range, +3 target, +1 size)
Contributor: Tyrrell
Notes: From the message board level 10-15 spells project
Fire Father
InIg 15
R: Arcane, D: Momentary, T: Group
Caster can sense the relative location of the closest ten flames lit by target flame. Torch bearers were sent out with the troops and if his flame went out we knew they had fallen.

Alexey Miller's column
Speech by Alexey Miller at conference call on occasion of New Year's Eve
On behalf of the Management Committee and on my own behalf, let me wish you a merry Christmas and a happy New Year!
2016 was a successful year for Gazprom in spite of the challenging macroeconomic environment. We achieved every single business target we had set. In many ways, it was a year of record highs. But those are not just records for the sake of records. Those figures definitively show that we improved the reliability, sustainability and safety of gas supplies to consumers in Russia and beyond.
Gazprom and Russian pipe producers to adopt formula pricing for pipe fittings
"Mutually beneficial cooperation between Gazprom and domestic pipe producers is consistently expanding. Looking back at 2016, we are happy to report that the share of Russian pipes in the Company's procurements has reached the highest possible level: 100 per cent. Congratulations!"
Gazprom expanding cooperation with Japanese partners
"Gazprom continues to successfully cooperate with companies from the Asia-Pacific region, the world's fastest-growing gas market. As usual, Japanese companies are our main partners in the LNG sector. The documents signed today give a much broader dimension to our joint efforts on LNG and create ample opportunities for collaboration in other areas of the gas industry."
Gazprom and OMV sign binding Basic Agreement on asset swap
"The Basic Agreement specifies the share that Gazprom will receive in the asset of OMV as part of the asset swap; it also contains some other commercial terms and is legally binding. In essence, the basic parameters of this deal have been determined. We plan to agree and sign the final documents by mid-2017."
World's first Gas Transmission Museum opens in Moscow
"Today, we open the first Gas Transmission Museum in the world. It is a modern, well-equipped and state-of-the-art industrial museum. It presents an opportunity to explore the inception and ongoing development of our country's unique gas transmission system. I believe that the new museum will be fascinating to many people – gas workers and veterans, industry-relevant students, schoolchildren, and everyone who is intellectually curious and interested in the past and present of our country."

News: PR1MA Due Diligence Report To Be Released Next Month
Housing and Local Government Minister Zuraida Kamaruddin expects the due diligence report for the 1Malaysia People's Housing (PR1MA) scheme to be completed next month.
With this, PR1MA chairman Tan Sri Eddy Chen Lok Loi led a three-day retreat that started on Thursday (4 July) to discuss projects that should be given focus and seek solutions for PR1MA housing problems, reported Bernama.
"In the last one year the PR1MA members have been studying and reviewing the 94 PR1MA projects in efforts to categorise them according to priority and assessed risk," said Zuraida.
"In general, we will resolve those with low risks which will generate returns to help us cover the high-risk projects."
Read More: Comprehensive guide to housing schemes
She noted that the 94 projects involved 94,000 housing units nationwide.
The Minister also debunked rumours that PR1MA would be dissolved, saying that it will continue to operate as usual to deliver affordable housing for the people.
In fact, 14,000 bookings for affordable houses have been received following the Home Ownership Campaign's (HOC) extension till the end of this year. This means more unsold PR1MA units will be taken up.
When Pakatan Harapan took over Malaysia, PR1MA was given two years by the ministry to resolve the housing issues.
"After one year, PR1MA managed to solve 50 percent of the problems faced and I am confident the remaining 50 percent would be resolved," said Zuraida.
PR1MA's liabilities had also been reduced from RM23 billion to RM12 billion, she added.

Governor Paul LePage has signed a proclamation that seals the results of Maine's recreational marijuana vote. Maine's rocky road towards adult use has finally come full circle, as the referendum legalizes recreational marijuana for adults in Maine over the age of 21.
The new law allows adults to possess up to 2.5 ounces of marijuana and grow up to six plants at home. The Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry will oversee marijuana sales, but retail stores will not open doors until a regulatory system has been established. The Secretary of State's office received the governor's proclamation on December 31, which the governor then signed into law. It will go into effect on January 30, 2017.
Maine's Ballot Question 1 passed by a slim margin of about 4,000 votes and opponents of the bill weren't initially convinced of victory's legitimacy. However, a recount determined the same results, even though the recount effort was abandoned early. The final count determined the bill passed by a margin of 4,073 votes. Despite the passing of Ballot Question 1, part of LePage's proclamation reads "…the governor maintains strong concerns regarding the integrity of Maine's ballot and accuracy of Maine's election results and cannot attest to the accuracy of the tabulation certified by the Secretary of State."
Governor LePage has been outspoken against recreational marijuana since the ballot question was first introduced. He is known for his careless categorization of "drug dealers," and has even gone as far as claiming publicly that "half the time they impregnate a young, white girl."
Governor LePage has also suggested setting up a moratorium to determine how funding will be relayed to the state's Agricultural Department. Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker enacted similar measures that effectively delayed the sale of marijuana. LePage expresses concerns over the lack of regulations and funding.
"That concerns me. So now [Colorado is] collecting just a fraction of the taxes that they thought they would," LePage told the Portland Press-Herald. "We really need to sit down and look at this and if we are going to tax, let's tax it, and if we are not going to tax it, let's not even bother doing it." LePage also downplayed activist Paul McCarrier's prediction that Maine could reap $200 million in tax revenue from recreational pot.
Several concerns surrounding children's access to edibles have also been taken into account. The "No on 1" campaign led the opposition to "Yes on 1", but both sides are now working together to implement measures to prevent children from consuming edibles. It will take several months before the regulatory details are revealed, and retail stores will not open in Maine until 2018.

It is official: India is siding with poor cancer patients over profits for multinational drug giants.
The Supreme Court of India has rejected a plea by Swiss pharma giant Novartis that ends the seven-year legal battle to restrict Indian companies from copying blood cancer drug Glivec. Novartis had filed a plea with the Supreme Court after the Intellectual Property Appellate Board had rejected a patent claim for Glivec.
Glivec is marketed as Gleevec in the United States. In 2001, Time magazine called it the magic bullet for cancer patients. The drug was originally developed as Imatinib using rational drug design after Philadelphia chromosome mutation was discovered.
In India, Glivec costs about 120,000 rupees for a one month dose. In contrast, generic copies by Indian companies cost about 8,000 rupees, or about $148 at current exchange rates.
The decision is being hailed by activists and has major implications for multinational pharmaceutical firms. The decision opens the door for Indian companies to continue to make generics of a large number of drugs that are under patent in the developed world.
The decision is also a big setback for the ever-greening strategy employed by big pharma. In this strategy, big pharma makes minor changes to extend patents.
Lately, American investors have shown irrational exuberance about pharmaceutical stocks. Pharmaceutical stocks have been one of the best performing groups.
Bulls on pharmaceutical stocks cite two reasons behind their analysis. First, they deem pharmaceuticals as safe at a time of uncertainty in Europe and slowing growth in China. The thinking goes that people will always need drugs. Second, pharmaceutical stocks typically pay high dividends and buying dividend stocks is in fashion because there are not many other places to get yield.
Bulls miss two key points. The fastest growing markets are not the developed markets, but the developing markets such as India. Now India has thrown down the gauntlet against big profits on branded drugs. My expectation is that most emerging markets will follow. In the long run, this is a very negative development for big pharma.
The second point is that it is easy to forget $15 trillion in debt at a time when the stock market is in party mode. The debt situation is partly exasperated by ever increasing spending on Medicare and Medicaid. In the long run, the growth of Medicare and Medicaid at present rates is unsustainable. At present Medicare and Medicaid do not obtain competitive pricing for drugs; this situation cannot last forever. Typically, branded drugs in the U. S. tend to cost more than many other places in the world.
Bulls are right that the drug lobby is strong and politicians prefer to kick the can down the road. However, sooner or later the pricing of branded drugs in the U. S. is bound to come under pressure and herein lies a valuable insight for the long-term investors. Investors may want to exercise caution in stocks of firms such as Pfizer, Merck, Lilly, and Bristol-Myers. Aggressive investors can also take advantage of the present irrational exuberance to start slowly and cautiously building short positions in pharmaceuticals.

Ultimate Punnishment
Friday, September 18, 2009
I blogged, at the beginning of the year, about the worst example of a punning shopfront name I had encountered up to that point: Ruma….Has It.
Now I discover a blogger called Ben has undertaken a worthy sociological task to compile and maintain a repository of pun shopfronts, under the fitting title of 'Tanks A Lot'. He accepts submissions; how could I withhold this little gem? He no doubt agrees: tanks a lot for ruma has it, Ben.
