Not short of turning off bounce processing. But, if you're sure Postini is the problem, you can bypass it for your list mail. For example, the MX records for value.net go to various psmtp.com (Postini) servers, but Postini has to deliver somewhere which in my case is mail.value.net, so any mail addressed to me at mail.value.net bypasses Postini completely. If you look at the Received: headers in your incoming mail, the one at the top (last one added) will give the name of the server that your mail was finally delivered to. Just use that host name in your email address to completely bypass Postini. -- Mark Sapiro <msapiro at value.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Foundations of Faith, God is Holy

The first foundational attribute of God that we will explore is: God is Holy
As Christians, it is a fairly common occurrence (or it should be) for us to sing praises and worship to our Holy God. We even capitalize the "H" for greater emphasis. But what does "Holy" really mean? And how can we authentically worship His Holy nature without first defining the attribute?
It would be like me telling you that is honor of God, I painted my whole house in different shades of mogg. When you ask why, I say it is because God is Mogg. Then, in order to avert the possibility of being considered less-than-knowledgeable about God's "Mogg"-ness, you invite me to join in a spontaneous outpouring of love and praise to the "Mogg"-ness of God.
Yes, it is a silly example, but as we continue you may find that it is not to far off the mark.
"'I will remain in the world no longer, but the are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name - the name you gave me - so that they may be one as we are one.'" Jesus - John 17:11 NIV
In the previous verse, Jesus is speaking directly to God and was recorded using the Greek word "hagios" as an attribute of God. Strong's concordance describes the term "hagios" in this way:
"Hagios expresses something more and higher than sacred, outwardly associated with God; something more than worthy, honorable; something more than pure, free from defilement. Hagios is more comprehensive. It is characteristically godlikeness."
"Something more..." Is there a better explanation of God?
Our Infinite God
In order to better clarify our understanding of the attribute "Holy" we must extend ourselves past the term "holiness", that which is like God, to the "something more..." that is God. Thus, we arrive at several different aspects of Holy. The first aspect is infinitude, or the infinite nature of God.
In distinguishing the multitude of aspects that can be attributed to the term "Holy" as it pertains to God, we have segregated it's aspects to three broad categories: expansiveness, timelessness, and separateness. Although the term "infinite" may also relate to time, for our purposes we are approaching it as a reference to the expansiveness or size of God.
According to R.C. Sproul, one of John Calvin's axioms was "Finitum non capax infinitum" which translated means that "The finite cannot grasp (or contain) the infinite". So, to put it simply, as the infinite and eternal God, He is neither constrained by man made theories nor can His capabilities be understood.
As an analogy, let's consider an iceberg. Only a small percentage of the iceberg can be seen above water, the vast majority of the mass of an iceberg remains underwater unseen. Could we base the risk presented by the iceberg to a passing ship simply by the visual evidence revealed above the water without extrapolating an estimate of what remains hidden underwater?
In Randy Newman's excellent book "Questioning Evangelism", he shares some example dialogue's that might take place when sharing the Gospel with non-believers. In the following example, he is addressing the question of Biblical plausibility and God's existence with an self proclaimed atheist (Art):
"Randy: Is it possible that there's evidence that you just don't know about?
Art: What kind of evidence?
Randy: Well...could there be, for example, strong historical evidence that Jesus rose from the dead?
Art: How would that prove the existence of God?
Randy: It would validate a lot of what Jesus taught, and He had a lot to say about God's existence.
Art: Okay. Yes, that would be some evidence that I haven't heard about. So what?
Randy: It means that you might be wrong...
Randy: It means that you might be wrong. Here. Let me draw something. (I drew a circle on a napkin and labeled it "All Knowledge.") This is all of the knowledge there is to know. How much of this circle would include all of the knowledge you currently have? (I handed him the pen. He thought for a minute and then did what most people have done when I posed this question. He drew a small dot in the middle of the circle.)
Randy: That's about what I'd say for me, too. (I now shaded in the part of the circle that was not represented by his dot-in other words about 99 percent of the circle.) Is it possible that there is some knowledge in this shaded portion that could be evidence for God's existence?
Art: Yes." Questioning Evangelism, Randy Newman
The rest of the dialogue is an excellent discussion regarding the fallacy of intellectuals who refer to themselves as "atheists" when in fact it would be more accurate to call themselves "agnostics".
While fascinating, the issue of agnosticism versus atheism are not the point of sharing the previous section of Randy Newman's book, instead we will extrapolate the Randy's drawing exercise to illustrate the infinite nature of God.
On a sheet of paper, draw a circle and label that circle "All Knowledge". Within that circle, shade in the portion which you currently have. Do you and "Art" from above share a small amount of knowledge within the scope of the larger circle? What percentage of the circle do you estimate that you shaded? 1%? 10%? Is it somewhat humbling or are you extremely knowledgeable and have a much larger shaded area?
Now consider this. To better understand how awesome a God we serve, what percentage is the shaded area to the table or surface on which the paper is resting? And by extension, what is the percentage as compared to the room you are in? Even within that scope we are limiting God to finite structures.
Also, though two dimensional size of the circle is what we are comparing to the total area of the surface, we must take into account the tiny depth of the paper in relationship to the total volume of the room. And even at that we are no closer to estimating to expansiveness of God. In fact, even if you were able to articulate the percentage of the shaded area representing your knowledge to the entire volume of the universe, your estimate of the expansive nature of God would appear as nothing more that your original circle labeled "All Knowledge".
"Finitum non capax infinitum" - The finite cannot grasp (or contain) the infinite - John Calvin
Does your head hurt yet? And, now for a thought to encourage your heart to swell. The infinite nature of our Holy God cannot be measured simply by expansiveness but also by His infinite granularity, in that, God exists every single fiber of would, to the molecules that make the fiber, to the atoms that combine to form the molecules. Even the electrons of each atom would be perceived as massive when compared with the granular detail of God's workmanship. The same God which can hold our universe on the tip of His finger is the same God that has detailed knowledge over even the most fleeting desire of your heart. He remembers even when you have long since forgotten.
God is Holy because He is infinite.

Great Moments in Cinema #1562 :: Now That's Some Fully Functional Armor :: Shane Black's Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (2005)
What absolutely floors me about this scene, where the despondent, out of work, and already well-lubricated actor (Chris Gilman), dressed up in his old Protocop costume, is caught stealing cookies and a brewski in a neighbor's apartment (Michelle Monaghan), was how he used the armor so fluidly, so automatically, you just knew this wasn't the first time it had doubled as a bottle-opener and this was how he spent most nights; and if you inspected the armor a little closer, you would probably notice a well worn notch on the plating from all the use and abuse since the TV show's cancellations two years prior. One of the many throwaway details that always add up to something special in Shane Black's feature films.

I'm Chris Gilman, and I approve of this ad.... No, sorry, I'm happy to see someone noticed this. The first take, I jumped so suddenly at her yell, I dropped the bottle, putting the prop man in a bind, as he only made 6 bottles.
A funny story about this scene.
I made the some of the props for "The Natural", the Robert Redford film about baseball. One of them, was "Wonder Boy" and in the film, the prop I'm threatened with (as Protocop) a parody of that bat, in this film, named "Wonder-girl". No one on set knew, I had made the original prop.

Death March Vol 2
Rating: 3/5
Buy or Borrow: Buy
Source: Copy courtesy of the publisher!
Satou's caught in an underground labyrinth. Zena's also lost, and her only companions are three beast girls. Demons abound as Satou and Zena try to get to safety!
In this volume, Satou and the three beast girls are stuck in the labyrinth and need to work their way towards the exit, fighting monsters as they go. Zena is trapped in another location and it isn't long before the two groups meet up to face off with the big bad. This volume of the manga covers the last half of the first light novel and leaves on that same intriguing ending.
At this stage...I feel like I might be leaning towards the light novel more than the manga. There's some little details missing from the manga that are in the light novel and on one hand it's kind of expected, but on the other...I feel like Satou's character works better in the light novel where you have a better understanding of him. In the manga I find it easy to forget he's actually 29, and his age was what made him interesting and stand out to me in the light novel.
This series has such colourful and enticing covers, and the art in both the manga and light novel is fun and cute. I really do like the artwork! The story is brilliantly paced and you can breeze through it easily, and I enjoyed the dungeon adventurer vibe to this volume of the manga. I'm a sucker for that kind of thing though!
Of the characters, I'm really enjoying the beast girls in the manga, I loved them in the light novel, and I love them in the manga. I'm so eager to see more of them, and I've loved how Satou has taken them under his wing and helped them level up and everything. I'd like to see more of Zena fighting too, because I'm so curious about what she can do!
The ending of this volume leaves you intrigued and wanting to find out what the deal is with this strange new girl, who quite clearly knows something that Satou doesn't. I'm definitely interested in finding out where this story is going to go and what's going to happen next, I'm just not sure whether to go with the manga or the light novel!

The more I hear about the proposed Planning (Wales) Bill the less I like it. The draft bill has been proceeding through various stages for a while, in its present form, it will actually take decisions further away from communities and further erode the democratic accountability of decision-making over land use in our country. Now none of this should surprise anyone, Labour in Wales at various levels of government have over the years long seen people as part of the problem when it comes to planning.
In essence the Labour in Wales Government has aimed to makes it more difficult for local communities when it comes to trying to stop developers building on green spaces. It was originally suggested that its Planning Bill would stop "vexatious" bids to register greens intended, it claimed, simply to frustrate development. Applications for village greens must show people have had a right to use the site in question for at least 20 years.
|Affordable Housing?
The reality of the current relationship between local and central government is that when it comes to housing developments those members of the public who question or challenge planning decisions are seen as part of the problem. The Labour in Wales Welsh Government has missed a real opportunity to actually deliver a modern planning system to meet the needs of the people of Wales in the 21st century.
Plaid is right to call for root and branch reform of our planning system to strengthen local voices. That probably does not suit the labour in Wales Government who's current Government Bill looks to be enshrining a top-down regime that will take decisions one step further away from the decisions that affect them.
Our planning system, along with our pretty much nineteenth century local government setup is not designed to coexist with devolution or for that matter to deliver planning decisions with real and lasting benefits for local people and local communities. There is a real need for root and branch reform and reorganisation of our planning system; the Welsh Government's simply decided to tinker and tweak with existing outdated legislation rather than reform it.
The current Bill has proposed a system where a National Development Framework sets the parameters for Regional Development Plans, which in turn set the parameters for Local Development Plans. This will create a top-down approach, which runs contrary to any notions that our communities should have a stronger say in planning decisions that will directly affect them.
It would be more democratic, if even at this late stage, the Labour in Wales Welsh Government began its bill again. Starting with the simple idea that the development aspirations of our communities should be the primary building blocks of our planning system.
The introduction of unelected and effectively unaccountable members to the Strategic Development Panels must be unacceptable. While there is a need for a wide range of different voices be heard it would be both sensible and democratic for any co-opted members not have voting rights.
What should be more disturbing is that current legislation as is, contains some 65 examples of Ministers being empowered to make subordinate legislation, which will be afforded significantly less scrutiny. The legislation is effectively a government power grab with the Minister literally picking and choosing powers without any clarity as to how he intends to use them, if at all.
This potentially sets a dangerous precedent for increasingly unaccountable governance and an even more unresponsive planning system. The bill includes the creation of a National Development Framework, which would replace the deeply flawed but at least nominally publically accountable Wales Spatial Plan, which at least periodically required the actual endorsement of the National Assembly.
Whether Wales needs new strategic development plans at present is open to question? Especially as there is about to be a significant (and perhaps more ominously) a largely Labour in Wales driven reorganisation of our local government, which will by default create larger planning authorities.
Is there a need for Strategic Development Plans, as the Local Government reorganisation will create much larger planning authorities, which will inevitably take on more of a regional and strategic roll? There is a need for development planning to take place on more of a regional basis but this could be dealt with joint Local Development Plans rather than another whole new tier of Development Plans.
What is not being addressed is the observed reality that the current planning system remains too focused on railroading through large housing developments that often bring little real benefits for local people and local communities and often fail to resolve real and pressing local housing needs. We need a fundamental change in planning culture to encourage appropriate and sustainable smaller scale housing developments, which are based on good design and actively promote energy efficiency and good environmental standards.
An opportunity to address the shortage of affordable housing, to encourage more small-scale renewable energy projects, and to actively support small businesses in relation to the Planning Bill has clearly been missed. It is time to start the process of actually addressing the flawed LDP (Local Development Plan) system, which does not deliver for local communities and fails to serve our national interests.
Our planning system and planning processes are too slow, too bureaucratic and too unresponsive to real local needs and local opinions. The current system is based on the post-war Town and Country Planning Act from 1947 and is simply outdated; our country needs a modern planning system that meets the needs of modern Welsh society. In line with the realities of devolution our country needs an independent Planning inspectorate for Wales as the old single planning inspectorate for England and Wales is increasingly unsustainable.
Local democracy on a county borough level has been undermined, as developers (and here we are not just talking about housing) simply appear to carry on appealing until they get their way or get their development retrospectively approved at a higher level. Local government officers will (and do) advise local councillors not to turn down developments (whether grounds are reasonable or not) because the developers will simply appeal until the cows come home and local government just does not have the finances to cope with this situation.
The Labour in Wales Welsh Government in Cardiff favour changing the planning rules in Wales to 'tilt the balance in favour of economic growth over the environment and social factors'. This is something that appears to be aimed quite specifically at overturning those few occasions when our Local Authorities have rejected some developments (often at the behest of local residents) rather than putting economic needs ahead of economic and environmental benefits.
|KALM Rally in Abergavenny
The proposed Planning Bill is bad news for those residents of south Monmouthshire, and the residents of Torfaen, who fought the plan and the good citizens of Abergavenny who fought to retain the livestock market. Not to mention the concerned residents of Cardiff and Carmarthen who have real worries about the impact of over large housing developments or the residents of Holyhead who opposed a planned new marina development and people who are genuinely concerned about how their communities develop.
The bottom line is that over the years our communities have been increasingly ill served by the planning system, by our local authorities (and the system of Unitary Development Plans) and more recently by our own Government in Cardiff. We need a planning system that takes account of local housing needs, the environment and looks sustainability at the whole of our country and above all it needs sit firmly within local democratic accountable local authorities which are elected by STV.

This is piggy backing off a prior post about validating an attachment control for illegal characters. (illegal characters in attachment name ? )
In the Nintex 2013 form (attached) I am calling a routine to validate if the attachments in the form contain any illegal characters. If so it will highlight said file and throw an alert to the user explaining the issue.
The problem is unless there are no other invalid controls the form will submit. I need to to set the form as invalid and all the other validation in the form needs to run as well.
Any ideas?
Mike Trouard
Solved! Go to Solution.
Perhaps on your validation action you could set a Calculated Value Control that has a validation rule:
For example write a validation rule that says if the value equals "1" , the form is not valid. So you must set this control to "1" on your script.
I thought about doing exactly that but I was hoping for a one liner that would have resolved it in the JavaScript/jQuery.
I did apply you suggestion and it worked.

The Corbyn Case
Montgomery Skew
It is sometimes amusing mental exercise to try to gauge the levels of intelligent argument and of principled conduct in the political class that governs the country where you live, whether that class has one member or hundreds. (Any claim that the class could number thousands or even in fantastically implausible cases the whole adult population should be put back into the proper obscurity that is found between the covers of textbooks on democracy.) Warning: this form of exercise can be interesting but may leave you with a bad case of depression.
As I write calls continue for Jeremy Corbyn to resign as leader of the British Labour Party. The callers accuse him of 'weak leadership'. The calls are broadly justified but in a way almost diametrically opposite to that alleged by the callers. It is said that Corbyn should have engaged more vigorously on behalf of the campaign calling for Britain to leave the EU; had he done so, it is said, Labour Party supporters might have voted in sufficient numbers to keep Britain in the EU.
The idea that a party leader should have energised his followers to vote to stay in can only be coherently held (if at all) by people who themselves were (and in the nature of the case probably still are) committed partisans of remaining in the EU This is coherently possible for those who believe that the side they favour is right even when this conflicts with democratic principles. However, many in the Labour Party believe themselves to be staunch supporters of democracy. A principle of democracy agreed very widely (but perhaps not in the Labour Party) is to accept the result of a popular vote even when it conflicts with one's own preferences. A referendum won by more than 1,250,000 is by democratic principle the right result. In such circumstances, the question of whether a different electoral turn-out would have produced a different result is, in constitutional terms, irrelevant.
Leaving questions of principle aside, the complaint about Corbyn's campaigning rests on an assumption that if more Labour supporters had turned out, then the proportion of the vote in favour of remaining in the EU would have been higher. But there is evidence in bucketfuls that the mass of Labour voters (who on the whole have a tendency not to live in affluent circumstances, or enjoy incomes, opportunities, and dinner table conversations such as those enjoyed by Members of Parliament and other inhabitants of London) by a large margin wanted Britain out of the EU. Consequently more Labour voters would have meant an even bigger majority in favour of leaving. (Naturally this would have left committed 'remainers' even more furious and convinced, on the basis of the information acquired at those dinner table conversations, that the result reached had been 'wrong', and consequently even more eager to find some way to reverse the decision.)
Corbyn allowed himself to be persuaded, by partisans of 'in' who in all likelihood believed genuinely that their side would win and that Labour would be damaged by association with a losing cause, to support the 'remain' campaign, even though this was contrary to the views of most of his Labour supporters and probably against his own inclinations. Thus his mistake was precisely to go out and speak on behalf of the campaign to keep Britain in Europe.
[A footnote: the petition calling for a second referendum to decide whether or not to accept the result of the first referendum was discovered to have signatures of, among others, 39,000 inhabitants of a non-British microstate which in fact has a population of 800.]


text: Nazareth and its surrounding areas are home to thousands of Palestinian Christians with Israeli citizenship [Reuters]Mounting efforts by Israel to divide its large Palestinian minority along sectarian lines have heightened fears that the Biblical city of Nazareth may be about to return to the scenes of violent clashes witnessed 15 years ago. Tensions in the city, the hometown of Jesus and a destination for hundreds of thousands of tourists each year, have risen sharply in recent months after the Israeli government unveiled plans to encourage Christian school leavers to serve in the military. Although Nazareth and its surrounding villages are home to the bulk of the 130,000 Palestinian Christians with Israeli nationality, the city itself has a Muslim majority. The local leadership has accused the government of Benjamin Netanyahu of pursuing a "colonial policy of divide and rule" towards the country's 1.5 million Palestinian citizens, who comprise one-fifth of the population. "Netanyahu is playing a very dangerous game, seeking to inflame tensions so that he can pit Christians against Muslims and weaken us as a community," said Hanna Swaid, a Christian representative in the Israeli parliament, the Knesset. Swaid said the Israeli government was playing on fears sparked by the deteriorating situation for Christians in neighbouring states, especially in Syria and Egypt. About one-tenth of the Palestinians in Israel are Christian. Christians in the military? Of chief concern to Swaid and other community leaders is a plan announced last year by Netanyahu to end the exemption for Christians on serving in the military. Al Jazeera World - Forbidden Pilgrimage Christians and Muslims have long refused to enlist, arguing that they do not want to assist in what they regard as the oppression of fellow Palestinians in the occupied territories. In a special video message released on Christmas Eve, Netanyahu referred to the local Christian population as "loyal citizens" and urged the youth to enlist. Most controversially, he added that a political movement recently founded in Nazareth to lobby for Christian conscription would ensure "protection to supporters of enlistment and to the conscripts themselves". Swaid said: "The implication from Netanyahu is that he supports the establishment of Christian militias. He is trying to sell this to Christians with the idea that Israel will arm and train you to defend yourself against your Muslim neighbours." In a related move this month, it emerged that Yariv Levin, chair of Netanyahu's governing coalition, had proposed a new classification of "Christian" on identity cards. That would effectively create a special Christian nationality, leaving only Muslims to be identified as "Arabs". Levin has said he sees the move as a prelude to creating a special education system for Christians separate from the current Arab one. Meanwhile, a small group of Christians in Nazareth allied with the government, and led by an Orthodox priest, has declared its intention to build a 30-metre-high statue of Jesus on a hill overlooking the city, in an effort to create an Israeli version of Rio de Janiero's imposing figure of Christ the Redeemer. Threatening to further strain relations is a recent agreement by the government to establish a branch of a US university in Nazareth, using funds raised by Christian Zionists. Their leader, John Hagee, who is known to be close to Netanyahu, has been a longtime financial supporter of settlements in the occupied territories. Finally, Nazareth is still reeling from a mayoral contest in October in which the two front runners were separated by a handful of votes. Although Ramez Jeraisy, a Christian and the mayor for the past two decades, and his Muslim challenger Ali Salam represent non-sectarian parties, the highly contested result has exacerbated tensions. Jeraisy is receiving police protection after gunshots were fired at his house last week. A short time later a Nazareth youth was arrested for incitement after posting a cartoon of Jeraisy being shot dead. The sensitive relations between the two religious communities in Nazareth are in part a legacy of the 1948 war that established Israel. As the advancing Israeli army expelled Palestinians from villages in the Galilee, some refugees fled to Nazareth seeking sanctuary. The influx of Muslims permanently altered the demographic balance of the city. Sectarian conflict Today, Nazareth, the largest Palestinian city in Israel with 85,000 inhabitants, has a two-thirds Muslim majority. Although Israel has tightly limited the city's room for expansion, Nazareth serves a surrounding population of a quarter million and is viewed as the unofficial capital of the Palestinian minority. Sectarian conflict in Nazareth first came to public attention in the late 1990s, when Netanyahu was also prime minister. He was widely blamed at the time for inflaming tensions in the city. On that occasion, the government intervened in a dispute over an empty lot next to the Basilica of the Annunciation, the enormous church marking the spot where many Christians believe an angel told Mary she was carrying the son of God. As the city prepared for a visit by Pope John Paul II to celebrate the millennium, a group of Muslims claimed the site was land belonging to an Islamic trust before 1948 and should be used to build a large mosque. In an unprecedented decision, two ministerial committees set up by Netanyahu agreed to the mosque project. Tempers flared, and by Easter 1999 street fights between Christians and Muslims made headlines around the world. In the end, the government stopped the mosque from being built and instead developed it as a public square. Nonetheless, the site is still a source of simmering tension, with several hundred Muslims using it for midday prayers every Friday. Many Nazareth residents have grown increasingly fearful that the city may be heading back to the dark days of the late 1990s. "Netanyahu has form on this issue," said Mohammed Zeidan, the head of the Human Rights Association in Nazareth. "His fear is that we as a community, especially the youth, are becoming more organised and united, as well as more effective at exposing the discriminatory policies of the state." Zeidan highlighted the recent success of mass protests that forced Netanyahu to shelve a government scheme, the Prawer Plan, to expel tens of thousands of Bedouin from their homes in the Negev. "He sees the community as a problem and the best way to deal with us is to set us at each other's throats." The issue of Christian enlistment first surfaced a year ago, when the defence ministry quietly staged a conference on the issue in the neighbouring Jewish city of Upper Nazareth. Christian Scout movements were invited - and to the consternation of many Christians, three local priests also attended. Currently among the Palestinian minority, only young men from the small Druze community are conscripted, after its leaders signed an agreement with the state in the 1950s. A few hundred more Palestinian citizens, both Muslims and Christians, volunteer for military service. However, the overwhelming majority are Bedouin, needed by the army as trackers. Officials have recently talked up claims that the enlistment drive has led to a spurt of Christian recruits. However, a defence ministry official told the Associated Press last month that Christian volunteers had risen only marginally, from 40 a year to between 50 and 55. 'Israel takes care of us' Leading Christian support in the city for the government's initiative is Bishara Shlayan, a 58-year-old former merchant seaman and the brother of the defence ministry's officer in charge of Christian recruitment. He has set up a Christian-Jewish political movement, called the Covenant of Flags, with a logo featuring an intertwined Cross and Star of David. Jeraisy, Nazareth's longtime Christian mayor, has called Shlayan a "collaborator". The truth was clear. Whatever it says, Israel has no special sentiments towards Christians. - Hanna Swaid, Christian representative in the Knesset But, according to Swaid and Zeidan, Netanyahu has been emboldened by his success in securing the support of a prominent Greek Orthodox priest in Nazareth. Gabriel Nadaf, aged 40 and a former spokesman for the Jerusalem Patriarch, recently stated: "Israel takes care of us, and if not Israel, who will defend us? We love this country, and we see the army as a first step in becoming more integrated with the state." However, Azmi Hakim, leader of the Greek Orthodox community council in Nazareth, said there was almost no support for Nadaf or Shlayan. "They are a tiny minority but they are able to make a big noise because the government is giving them a lot of support and trying to create the impression that they represent a trend." He added that the danger was that this could be the trigger for deteriorating relations between the two religious communities. Levin, who has proposed a new "Christian" nationality on ID cards, said he was responding to pressure from Christians. "This is the only place in the Middle East where they have security and freedom of worship," he said. "Many Christians don't want to be known as Arabs." Following their agreement to conscription, the Druze were assigned a separate nationality, as well as an education system designed to inculcate "Zionist values". Shlayan welcomed Levin's proposal, saying: "We are not brothers with the Muslims; brothers take care of each other." 'Used by the government' Swaid said, "These people are being used by the government. A few Christians like Shlayan have bought into the false promise that if they serve they will get special favours. But we only need to look to the situation of the Druze. Their youth have been conscripted for decades and yet their communities are in much worse state even than that of the Christians." Claims by Nadaf that he has been the target of a hate campaign in Nazareth, including an attack on his teenage son, have been widely reported in the Israeli media. Nadaf's leading critics, including Nazareth Christians, have been called in for interrogation by the police and warned that they are under investigation for "incitement to violence". Hakim said he had been called for interrogation on three occasions since he and the Orthodox council originally denounced Nadaf last year. He was also phoned by the domestic intelligence service, the Shin Bet, two hours before the council met to issue a statement against Nadaf. "They warned me, 'This is bigger than you or the council.' They told me not to get involved." Swaid said Israel's real attitude towards the local Christian population was revealed following a request he submitted to the Knesset Speaker last month to place a Christmas tree in the parliament building. His request was rejected, with the speaker arguing that the Christian symbol would cause "offence". "I saw this as a test of whether Israel was prepared to give a sign of goodwill towards its Christians and to behave like a tolerant, multicultural state - in the way it expects other states to act towards Jewish minorities. The truth was clear. Whatever it says, Israel has no special sentiments towards Christians." SOURCE: Al Jazeera ABOUT THE AUTHOR Jonathan Cook Politics US & Canada Egypt Israel Syria's Civil War

The JPX4 may look like a large 4-barrelled Derringer with some modern twists, however, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (BATFE) issued a ruling dated October 15, 2014 that clearly states that the JPX4 "does not constitute a firearm".
The JPX4 offers a greater distance deployment opportunity that may help alleviate most of the cross-contamination problems in the initial stages of controlling a resistive subject. Going hands on for handcuffing may still subject officers to chemical agent exposure, but that is likely to be much less than the close quarters hand cans.
The JPX4 Shot Defender marks the beginning of the next generation of pepper guns. The JPX4 Pepper Gun comes with a specially designed laser and amazing range and speed. This is the only pepper spray gun that can shoot four individual shots of pepper spray bullets at 590 feet per second (FPS). This is the speed of the bullet (pepper spray cartridge) from the nozzle of the gun up to a distance of 23 feet.
The premise of the JPX4 is to provide a longer range, less lethal, OC spray delivery system. Common hand-held units are generally only dependable to about 10 feet or less. Some fogger style delivery systems may provide a slightly longer distance, but hand-held OC spray cans have always been seen as an "up close and personal" type of defensive and control device. The JPX4 seeks to double that range.
The JPX4 Shot Defender is a brand new product offered to Law Enforcement by Piexon AG. This is the only product that can fire 4 separate shots of pepper spray at 590 FPS from the nozzle up to 23 feet. Most Less-lethal devices are limited in range and reliability. The JPX 4 fires using actual primers making it a very reliable weapon. It has been certified by ATF as a non-firearm with no registration required.
Complete Description
Ultimate JPX4 LE 4 Shot Pepper Gun w/Laser Bundle & Level II Holster
Bundle Includes:
Each removeable cartridge fires exceptionally potent liquid 10% OC at 590 FPS from the nozzle with an effective distance of 23 feet. With ease of training and the power of each super-strong pepper payload has made the JPX very popular among law enforcement and corrections professionals world-wide. The JPX 4 carries four self-cleaning pepper rounds, making multiple shots available when needed. Reloading is fast and easy. You can load each round individually so that you always have 4 rounds available.
Opinion from the ATF: The Piexon JPX does not constitute a "firearm" as defined in the Gun Control Act or a "firearm" or "any other weapon" as defined in the National Firearms act. Also, the magazines designed for this device do not constitute "ammunition" as defined in the Gun Control Act". NO REGISTRATION REQUIRED IN MOST STATES.

Herb offers malaria treatment hope
The World Health Organization estimates malaria affects 300m people a year across the world.
Professor Nick White, who runs the Wellcome Trust's south-east Asia unit, told BBC News Online how rates of malaria were reduced by 90% - using a drug made from a Chinese herb.
The community of 120,000 displaced Burmese, living in camps on the north-west border of Thailand have many battles to fight.
In the past, malaria was one of those. The drugs which doctors would normally use were failing because the type of malaria prevalent in the camps was resistant to them.
But Professor Nick White, along with other doctors, heard about a drug used in China to treat malaria called quinghaosu.
Quinghaosu, or artemisinin - also known as sweet wormwood - provides a possible solution to the ever growing problem of salic falicparum - drug resistant malaria.
In total, around 25,000 people have been involved in trials in Thailand and Africa.
'Fast and efficient'
Malaria kills one person every 30 seconds - adding up to one to two million deaths a year.
Professor White believes artemisinin should be urgently introduced in east Africa, where most of the deaths from malaria occur.
But doctors began to evaluate combination treatments, using artemisinin.
All combinations were effective in curing malaria, said Professor White but, used together, artemisinin and mesloquine were 95% effective.
The number of cases in the camps was reduced by 90% because drugs prevented the transmission from person to person.
"They are undeniable the most important anti-malarial drugs to be discovered in the last 50 years," he said.
When the drug is used to treat people who already have malaria, it is fast and efficient, with no side effects.
Parasite mutation
Tuberculosis and Aids are already treated using combination therapy.
Professor White said using two drugs together would mean if the malaria parasite was resistant to one drug, the other should work.
The malaria parasite mutates so that the forms which are unaffected by mesloquine survive, he said.
"Resistance occurs because of a spontaneous mutation in the genes of the parasite.
"These are rare events but if they give the parasite the property of being resistant then they are selecting their own survival because all the other parasites will be killed."
Larger scale trials are now taking place on the Thailand border and the World Health Organization, which has a global aim to tackle malaria, is also involved in trials of the drug in Africa and Asia.
Professor White said: "They are going to see if these excellent results can be replicated. So far it's looking good."
The plant would be very difficult to synthesise, but there is enough being grown for current needs and some expansion.
It could also be grown in other countries, said Professor White, perhaps in southern Europe.

I had written a long 3 paragraph post today, with a quote about working hard and excellence in the first paragraph and the picture below showing you how I had achieved making earrings out of art clay…..
….but I got distracted while posting the picture and ended up reading other WordPress blogs relating to Jewellery. I stumbled on a blog where the blogger had asked for feedback and was responding to her readers requests, It reminded me that a friend of mine had advised that I write less words and put up more pictures in my posts.
I'm therefore putting myself out there today and asking you all to give me feedback on this blogging hobby of mine…..what do you think? less words? more pictures? more recaps of my day? or just pictures of jewellery and new items I've made.
It's your opportunity to say what you think, what you'd like to see i.e. pictures of random strangers modelling my jewellery?
You can even say you hate the colours of my blog and it constantly hurts your eyes, I wouldn't mind. 😀
FEEDBACK PLEASE! I'm actually apprehensive by the prospect of having you critique etransformed but go right ahead and comment!

Sea creatures are some of the longest living organisms on earth.
Some of them rack up more years of life than the maximum meterage of fishing line you can squeeze onto your sea reel.
But who lives longest: koi carp or bow head whale? Lobster or orange roughy? Take our quiz to see if you know how long until each critter croaks.
Make a note of your answers and scroll down to the bottom for the answers.
1. Orange Roughy
You'll find orange roughy served up in restaurants and fish and chip shops the world over, but should you eat it?
A very slow growing deep sea fish, its flesh is tasty enough but contains high levels of mercury.
And when you consider it doesn't even reach sexual maturity until it hits its mid twenties, it's not surprising populations are vulnerable to overfishing.
Stocks in the oceans off Australia and New Zealand have already crashed and other stocks are fast dwindling.
What's the lifespan of an Orange Roughy?
A) 72 years
B) 150 years
C) 205 years
2. Koi Carp
The rarest, biggest and most beautiful (if you like that kind of thing) Koi carp change hands for big bucks.
And some of the most expensive are displayed in the atria of swanky head offices of some of Japan's most successful corporations. At the peak of the Koi boom in the 1980, it's thought fish changed hands for upwards of $1 million – or $2.2 million in today's money.
UK carp have been known to live for upwards of 60 years – plenty of time to learn how to evade all but the most skilled wielder of a carp fishing rod, but how about the longest lived of the ornamental variety?
What's the longest a Koi Carp has ever lived?
A) 36 years
B) 174 years
C) 225 years
3. Bowhead Whale
Scientists keen to discover what makes us kick the bucket recently mapped the genome of this long lived whale.
In 2007, a 49ft bowhead whale caught off the coast of Alaska was found to have lodged in its flesh the remains of an exploding harpoon.
The artefact dated from 1890 meaning the whale survived an attempt on its life in the same year the Forth Bridge opened, Authur Conan Doyle published his second novel, 'The Sign of the Four', and the US 7th cavalry massacred at least 200 Lakota men, women and children at Wounded Knee.
Clearly an old whale – but how old?
How old did the oldest Bowhead Whale live for?
A) 89 years
B) 211 years
4. Lobster
They keep growing until they die, but we'll let you have this clue: contrary to plentiful claims that lobsters are immortal, they're not.
To grow, a lobster has to shed its shell, something it does many times throughout its life. In fact in the first year of life, a baby lobster can shed over 40 times. But as it grows older, the process slows so that by the age of about seven, it moults just once a year, and thereafter only every three or four years.
Casting off an old shell and growing a new one takes energy and it seems that by the time a lobster reaches its maximum life span, it no longer has the energy to cast off its shell. Though a lobster doesn't age in the way that other creatures do, its final shell gets bashed and battered until bacteria seep into the cracks and eventually kill it off.
But how old is a lobster before it goes belly up?
A) 140 years
B) 204 years
C) 456 years
5. Sturgeon
A living fossil, North American lake sturgeon belong to a family of fish that have remained largely unchanged for 135 million years.
Their bony side plates, greenish grey colouring and pointed snouts, certainly look like they hail from the time when dinosaurs roamed the planet, but how long does a single specimen live?
To make it easier, we'll give you a clue – males can live for around 55 years.
But up to how long can the female of the species live?
A) 70 years
B) 80 years
C) 150 years
6. Molluscs
Ming the mollusc was a clam trawled from the seabed off the coast of Iceland in 2006.
When examined by scientists, it caused great excitement because it was clearly so old. The fact that the creature turned out to be even older than originally thought lent a certain poignancy to the story because in the attempt to count its growth rings, scientists accidentally killed it.
No one will ever know how old Ming might have become if left alone in the watery deep.
How old was Ming when its life was cut tragically short?
A) 234 years
B) 398 years
C) 507 years
7. Red Sea Urchin
The Japanese consider their sex organs to be a delicacy, the Maori have consumed 'kina' since pre-European times, but tasty though they may be, the sea urchin is also an astonishing creature.
Hundreds of hydraulically operated tube legs enable it to move in any direction while its spines can be coordinated to point in the direction of a threat.
Sensitive to touch, light and chemicals, the sea urchin's entire body acts like a kind of compound eye. Oh, and it can live for a very long time.
Typically, how long can a Red Sea Urchin live for?
A) 50 years
B) 200 years
C) 1000 years
1. Orange roughy: B) 150 years
2. Koi carp: C) 225 years
3. Bowhead whale: B) 211 years
4. Lobster: A) 140 years
5. Sturgeon: C) 150 years
6. Mollusc: C) 507 years
7. Red sea Urchin: B) 200 years
