1.2 War Hero armor–High resolution in-game screenshots
Hey everyone, I know you guys have being asking for high resolution images of the new War Hero PvP gear ever since you saw those previews I posted. Thankfully, in addition to purchasing them via ranked Warzone Commendations, you can also craft these as empty orange shells! This took me a couple days as I had to level a synthweaver on the PTS. Luckily my alt, who also got transferred (by mistake hehe) is an armormech so I didn't had to level an armormech as well.

Nice Vacations
Combine beach relaxation with city action on Nice Vacations.
Greater flexibility on bookings
Book now, change laterFind out more
Nice may feel less glossy than neighbouring resorts like Monaco and Cannes, yet it's this quality that creates its inimitable charm. The bustling atmosphere around Place Massena radiates along the Promenade des Anglais, giving you a taste of the French Riviera and inviting you to explore more.
With its prime position on the glamorous Cote d'Azur, frequent flights and enviable year-round climate, you can understand why Nice is the ideal choice for a relaxing city break or beach vacation. Its sweeping panoramic promenade, turquoise waters and palm-lined boulevards paint a true picture – but beyond this Mediterranean-infused façade you'll soon discover a thriving culture. Shuttered buildings are crammed with flourishing museums, intriguing galleries wait to be discovered along the winding alleyways of the Old town and verdant parks are playgrounds for picnics.

Does the OPC have a position on theonomy, or done any "official" studies on the subject?
To the best of my knowledge, our General Assembly has never appointed a study committee on theonomy, which is how a matter would be dealt with by our entire denomination. Our official doctrinal positions are found in the Westminster Confession of Faith and Catechisms (which is subordinate to the Bible, of course, and which we believe is an accurate summary of its essential doctrines). The Orthodox Presbyterian Church would have an "official position" on theonomy if the Westminster Standards somehow required it or ruled it out of bounds.
The problem is that "theonomy" is a rather broad category, encompassing a range of views. A number of self-described theonomists disagree with each other on various points of doctrine. Thus, the relationship of theonomy to the Westminster Standards depends on what "brand" of theonomy is under discussion.
Some critics of theonomy argue that it contradicts the Westminster Standards' on how the Law of God given to Moses is to be applied to day (Westminster Confession of Faith ch. 19). Some theonomists argue their views are in fact required by the Westminster Standards. All theonomists (to the best of my knowledge) would argue their views are at the very least allowable by the Westminster Standards.
As you can see, I'm unable to give a clear answer to your question because there is no one definition of the term "theonomy." You will find a range of opinion in the OPC regarding theonomy, but no official position on the movement one way or the other.
"Questions and Answers" is a weekly feature of the OPC website. The answers come from individual ministers in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church expressing their own convictions and do not necessarily represent an "official" position of the Church, especially in areas where the Standards of the Church (the Scriptures and the Westminster Confession of Faith and Catechisms) are silent.
The questions come from individuals like yourself. If you have questions about biblical and theological matters, you are invited to send them by e-mail by using the "Pose a Question" link on the OPC home page or by clicking here.
At least one new question is posted each week, so there should always be something new here for you to read. (For those people who would like to look at previous questions and answers, they will continue to be available as well.)
The purpose of the OPC website's "Questions and Answers" is to respond to biblical and theological questions. Matters of church discipline, disputes, or debates go beyond the scope of our work. We recommend that you present your concerns in these areas to the appropriate judicatory. In most cases this will be to a local pastor, elder, or session. We do not want the website to replace personal involvement in, or commitment to, the local, visible church.
While we will respond to every serious questioner, we are not bound to give a substantive answer to every question, should we deem the question to be beyond the scope of our purpose or our own ability to answer.
You will receive an answer by e-mail. Please be patient as many of our respondents are busy pastors. The response to your question may take up to two (2) weeks. Some of the questions submitted will be chosen to be posted here, along with the corresponding answers.
Note that the "Questions and Answers" posted on the site have been editedall personal references are removed, Scripture references or from some source may be added, and sometimes portions are expandedto make the questions and answers more useful to a larger audience.

This special report shows you how you can win the fight against cancer...
Diagnosed With Cancer?
If You or a Loved One Has Cancer, Here Are 11 Effective, Natural Strategies to Defeat This Deadly Disease
A diagnosis of cancer, or even a suspicion of cancer is fearful. You reflect on friends or family who died of cancer. Of all the celebrities who got cancer, gradually deteriorated and died. (Other than Suzanne Somers who went alternative, thrived, survived, and wrote a book about it.) Even every TV show or movie featuring someone with cancer has them dying at the end.
So it's no wonder research shows that cancer is the most feared disease in the world along with being the most feared word too. How could it not be - given these circumstances?
It may not be so fearful to you if you've been told to come here to read this information by someone who beat a stage 4 cancer by using the cancer fighting strategies covered on this website. Otherwise, it's no wonder that you're afraid and skeptical. How could you not be?
"....I would like to thank you for making a difference in my mom's battle of stage 4 breast cancer the 2nd time. This time it mestastisized into her lymph nodes and liver and bones. She was given 2 month's to live if she did not do the chemo. She is in her 8th week of chemo which has been spaced out in a period of 3 month's and has been on your company's supplements for 8 weeks or more.
Went Monday and had her PET scan and meet with her doctor on this past wednesday and he read it. Conservatively speaking the doc said, "90 to 95 % of her cancer is gone". He was amazed and has been for the last 3 weeks and even told her the last 2 weeks she is going to beat this, because her blood work has continued to improve from being a severe anemic when they found the reoccurrence of her breast cancer. Without anything the doctor was doing, she in 3 weeks of being on your supplements has a red blood cell count of a healthy person. From what i have learned, being an anemic is not a condition that any person battling stage 4 cancer needs to have. She lost 8 pounds in 2 weeks in the beginning. After that she has held her weight steady and last 2 weeks gained 3 pounds.
When her blood work continued to improve, I knew these products were working. I was very skeptical about the claims you make in the beginning and thought why are not doctor's telling cancer patient's about this. After much research here and other places I found out why they would not. I realize the supplements my mom is taking, I can also take to make my inner environment healthier and cancer proof. I can not say thank you enough. We definitely supercharged my mom's chemo. I believe in the next 4 treatment's with the supplements my mom will be cancer free. She has been taking BLA, BLA Enhancer, Zeolite Enhanced, Liver Plus and Immune Force and OxyDHQ religiously and it has worked!"
Ken C.
In fact, the knowledge in this report is at such odds with what your doctor tells you about cancer, most people reading this page will not go on to read this entire report. It sounds too good to be true.
So one of the biggest issues that you have to wrap your mind around is the obvious thought, "If the information in this report, and the supplements recommended, are so good, why isn't everyone using them."
It's a good question. The answer at its most fundamental level is money and secondarily, that it takes a great deal of time for new ways to fight disease to be accepted. Dr. Samuel S. Epstein writes about this in several books which you may want to read. He is an internationally recognized authority on the causes of cancer, particularly carcinogen exposure from food, air, water, household products, cosmetics, prescription drugs or industrial carcinogens in the workplace.
It may take quite a bit to get to the point where you realize that just doing what your doctors put you through is not adequate. Unfortunately, for many people this point comes at the end, when it is clear that medicine has failed and they are dying a painful and slow death.
It doesn't have to be this way. One reason we make this report as long as we do is that the more you understand, the more ways you learn to beat cancer, the more testimonials you read, the more this will sink into you.
So the first thing I want to communicate to you is that there is hope. In fact, there is a whole lot of hope. The overwhelming feedback from our research is that when the right actions are taken, even aggressive, tough cancers can be defeated.
This information has been compiled over the course of ten years. It is continually being updated as we find better supplements or learn about new effective cancer fighting procedures.
This report will tell you about the most effective cancer fighting supplements we have found in our research. Supplements that work on their own, or in conjunction with chemotherapy or radiation therapy, to defeat cancer.
And because we believe everyone should have access to this information, we're offering it at no charge.
We've compiled the overwhelming amount of information on the causes of cancer and natural cancer treatments, and condensed it into this report. Well, actually, it's the size of a book.
Better still, we've tested most of the cancer fighting supplements and rated them for you on their cancer fighting ability. This will prevent the mistake of using supplements that sound good but aren't good enough in all too many cases, to beat a tough cancer. So you won't waste money or, your life, on supplements that are marginally effective.
Many readers have told us this report is the best information they have found on cancer. It is written in an easy-to-read style a lay-person can understand.
Much of this is information your doctor can't tell you, or doesn't know. For example, you'll learn about a 14-month informal study of one type of supplement where 51 out of 65 patients with stage 4 cancer became cancer-free when they added it on to their regime.
You'll learn what the underlying causes of cancer really are (each section covers a different cause). You'll learn what to do to counteract those causes. This report will prioritize the most effective actions you can take to defeat cancer. Finally, you'll learn what to do to keep the cancer from coming back.
This information applies to all types of cancer—because the fundamental causes of cancers are the same. It is not that all cancers have the same cause. They don't. But your cancer is caused by at least a few of the 11 causes we cover in this report. Click on the Protocols link and you'll be able get to a specific protocol for your particular cancer. You will learn which are the best supplements to use for that cancer. The top supplements are usually the same, but we optimize them for you.
Literally thousands of people have walked this path before you, and have used the recommendations in this report to beat their cancer and live happy normal lives. Take a look at these stories of hope on the next page.

the allen family bermuda triangle
Wednesday, October 22, 2014
paco: such a meagre name for one who meant so much. paco, paquito, paquito el perrito, paquito el perrito mas guapo y macho. i'm pretty sure his first language was spanish, so the little prayer the technician said over his body, in spanish, was certainly understood by him. paco always did understand far more than the rest of us anyway.
so much pain. so very much pain, and so very unneccessary. but that wasn't who he was, it was just what had him in the end--he was far more than that and he won't be defined by his last two months anymore than anyone else suffering from a debilitating, chronic disease would be. there was life, so much LIFE, before that. let me explain.
paco came to us in the late spring of 2008 via my friend, julia, while we were living in new mexico. she picked up a little brown dog that had been living on rio grande blvd in a little hole he'd dug for himself. he was skinny, tired, scared, and way too young to be living on his own. she brought him over to my house, told me directly that we needed a dog, and thus he became part of our family. i gave her a head of organic lettuce in return.
in the beginning, paco wasn't at all sure about us--astrid had just turned two and gus was so overjoyed to FINALLY have a dog that neither of them wanted to stop playing with him, even for a second. paco himself was probably 5 months old--we never really knew for sure--and it took him quite some time to decide to stay with us. he ran away every day for the first three or four months, as paco was a master of escape, but he always came back at night. we lived along an acequia that he must have known like the back of his paw and giving up the freedom of being a stray was tough. eventually, he decided to stay home and embrace becoming domesticated.
after he decided to live with us, we found he was excellent off-leash. he listened to all of us and just walked alongside us without much trouble, so we hiked all through the mountains and around the rio grande valley with paco trotting along happily. he could go outside and greet guests without fear of his bolting and running away; we could unload groceries, kiddos, what have you with the doors open and he'd just wag and watch from inside or out--his choice. i could even take him to the vet without a leash, and while he would agree to go in, rather sheepishly, the other dogs inside never quite appreciated his gift and would bark to shame him into leash-using. he looked at them like they were idiots, but we did agree a leash at the vet's was probably a good idea. he was a rockstar when it came to not using a leash.
his other natural gift? no innate fear of fireworks. seriously--we had to hold him back to keep from investigating them while they were exploding! he loved fireworks and we set off quite a few with him, but we had to make sure whatever we lit wasn't a kind that could move on its own because he would chase it. he absolutely loved them, all of them--i think the fountains were his favorite but he also enjoyed a good noisy roman candle. we burned lots of those. he was more fire dog than a dalmatian.
when we moved to iowa a bit of the running-away thing returned, but it was less of his trying to escape us and more of a hard-wired need to know his territory. there were deer and chipmunks and squirrels and mice and raccoons and foxes and groundhogs and cats and and and...they all had to be controlled right now! we had a ravine and an undeveloped section of land next to our house, and no fences. paco was confused--his life had initially been in wide-open spaces, but he'd become comfortable with his defined area of a big fenced-in backyard. in iowa he'd go outside, use the bathroom, see something move, and immediately give chase. he usually came right back as soon as whatever furry critter eluded him, but occasionally he'd stay and try to sniff out this multitude of new information. his brain was overloaded with new sights and smells--it wasn't anything like what he had known in new mexico--and he had a lot to learn. all it took was regular off-leash excursions into the ravine and eventually he understood. and we came to an understanding: he could run and chase things into the forest, but he needed to come back when we called for him. we had this arrangement for most of his life, and the vast majority of the time it worked exactly like that.
despite these crazy jaunts into our next-door wilderness, he stayed relatively clean--paco was a tidy dog who needed almost no grooming, and his natural scent was almost nil. we'd bathe him every now and them, something he resented, but usually it was because he'd found something nasty to roll in and we couldn't live with the smell. i kept him on frontline most of the year--we usually skipped winters because i'd heard ticks weren't active then--but he still managed to pick up a couple. and he'd never had fleas until he came to texas. but this tiny insignificant creature, a tick, is what eventually became the vector for paco's end.
my and paco's daily routine in iowa was pretty simple--get up, go outside, eat breakfast, walk gus to school, take astrid in the car to preschool, rest, pick up astrid in the car from preschool, walk to get gus from school. after school he played with gus and astrid until rich got home, then he'd go for a run with rich or watch him and the kids play basketball outside. paco liked knowing what to do at any given time of day. however one day, a couple of years after we'd moved to iowa, paco started limping on his walk to school. then he was limping after his runs with rich. rich cut out the runs but we kept walking him to school. the limping became more pronounced until one day he walked up the hill to school and just laid down on the ground. he couldn't get up. he was, quite literally, lame. i went home, got the car, put him in it, and drove him to the vet. lyme disease. it was common in our neighborhood, paco had had a tick in the previous two months, and there was little reason to expect it to be anything else. paco started intensive treatment for it and, after a few months, showed improvement. he had residual arthritis and had to be on meds for that, but otherwise he was functioning more-or-less normally. the runs with rich had to be shortened and less-frequent, but the walks were fine.
whenever possible, he continued to chase whatever small furry thing he could into the ravine. sometimes he even caught them, which didn't end well for many a chipmunk. he tried to do this to a downed red-tailed hawk he found one night, which didn't end well for paco. live and learn. when not outside, he guarded us from within from all the chipmunks and deer using his terrifying, rumbling growl that sounded like it came from the bowels of the earth itself, punctuated by a baritone bark that let everyone know he was a Force of nature. we heard this noise at all hours of the day and night, always letting us know paco was doing his personally-assigned job of protecting us all.
fast forward a few years to four months ago. i'm in texas, dropping the kids off at camp, when i get a phone call from rich: paco's got a mass the size of an orange under his jaw, and he needs to get him to the hospital. rich was scared--and rich doesn't scare easily about anything medically-related--which made me completely terrified. IV antibiotics, anti-inflammatories, and the mass went down. paco took three kinds of antibiotics for two weeks...but the mass remained. as soon as the antibiotics stopped, it started to grow again. paco had it removed--a seven-inch incision to find it was a misbehaving lymph node--yet the vet was at a loss to explain why it was behaving the way it was. then he realized it wasn't what the expected to see; it didn't seem to be cancerous but it definitely wasn't healthy tissue.
lots more antibiotics, lots of snuggles and kisses during recovery time. we were so afraid the surgery would take his beautiful voice, but we found he could still bark and growl and whine a few days afterwards. he was tired--he'd been through a lot--but he was improving. unfortunately, our timing was off: we were soon moving to texas and he would have to leave his comfortable, sunny, inside spot next to the backdoor, where he could keep an eye on the entire ravine and anyone walking down the hill. his wilderness and his five years of accumulated knowledge about it was soon to be a memory.
we drove to houston four weeks after the surgery. he sat in the front seat of the u-haul with me and either gus or astrid--they took turns letting him lay in their lap. at 70+ pounds, paco always thought of himself as a lap dog. we moved into our tiny rental house with its equally tiny fenced back yard, and paco was instantly covered in fleas. it was incredibly offensive--for such a clean dog a flea was unforgivable, but we treated him and tried to keep it from happening again. he seemed depressed, which was completely understandable. he was sleeping 22 hours a day, and had less interest in food. he didn't like the new house in the city at all. we started to develop a new routine--get up, go out, eat breakfast, drive gus to school, walk astrid to school, rest, walk to get astrid from school, drive to get gus to school. but it was a challenge--he was having a hard time walking to school, he wasn't eating enough, he was slipping down the new stairs. i covered the stairs in plastic so he could grip better; i changed his food. not enough. i took him to a new veterinarian who looked at him and said cancer, and determined he needed a battery of tests and a specialist to consult with. she then asked if his head muscles had always been so weak? i had not even noticed that. i fell apart in a giant way that afternoon; paco just slept.
the cancer diagnosis didn't sit right with anyone except that vet. she and her office called a lot trying to schedule immediate testing and biopsies, but i wasn't ready to concede. the head muscles were concerning, though--his look was changing. and he had pretty much completely stopped eating, and he wasn't able to open his mouth more than an inch or two anymore. he no longer made any sounds--no barking, no whining, no growls. he was down to 60 pounds, a weight we hadn't seen on him since he was a puppy. we blamed all of this on depression and the move, but things were becoming critical. i took him to a different vet at a different office a few days later for a second opinion. paco received a much worse diagnosis, but it was, sadly, an accurate one: masticatory muscle myositis.
the big question then, after WHY (and the why is still pending), was HOW? how did a dog that was more mutt than the biggest mutt imaginable come down with an autoimmune disease that usually affects pure-bred german shepherds and king charles cavalier spaniels? the shepherd might have been in his bloodline, but there was so little of any identifiable dog in his lineage that it seemed unlikely he could have been born with this. i'm not even sure he was a dog--we've suspected a coyote/dog mix for a long time. and, he was more than twice as old as the average age of onset for the disease. but, have it he did and he had to start treatment immediately. more antibiotics, 60 mg of prednisone every day for three weeks, stomach drugs to keep the prednisone from eating through his gut, and 10 days in the animal hospital where gus and astrid visited him daily with their grandparents (more bad timing--rich and i were away).
after the prednisone kicked in, he was awake and better, for a while. his mouth opened, his appetite and thirst returned, but he was still unwell--shaky, gaunt, no sound. we tried to rebuild his muscles with walks to school, but after weeks on such a high dose of prednisone his liver started to fail. he developed an abscess that spread from his upper jaw into his orbit and sinuses. more meds, more antibiotics.
the vet wasn't happy with paco's progress. MMM is an unusual disease about which very little is known, as most dogs starve to death from the inability to open their mouths fairly early on so there are few test candidates. paco could eat, was eating, but was still wasting, and the myositis had spread to his back, hips, chest and limbs. something else was wrong. on the advice of a colleague, paco's vet ran a tick panel to see if there could be a tick-based disease at work. we'd told him about the lyme diagnosis and that he'd been treated aggressively and recovered, but we'd never actually done any blood work to make sure. he ran the test: it wasn't lyme, it was rocky mountain spotted fever.
whether paco had been carrying rocky mountain spotted fever for several years or whether it was a new acquisition of his, we'll never know. what we do know is that it triggered the MMM and the polymyositis that accompanied it. the vet put him in the hospital for two more days of IVs and on 600 mg of doxycycline for 14 days--enough to treat an elephant--but it wasn't enough. the disease had gone too far; his liver was too damaged. he had developed severe enophthalmus and was no longer able to see well; he was infected throughout his head and body, and it was all, finally, just too much for medicine and his body to fight. we finally made the decision to give him the ultimate freedom all suffering on october 21, 2014. he was in his bed, with his favorite toys and a pile of rich's clothes that he enjoyed sleeping with, and gus, astrid and me holding onto him. words cannot express the difficulties that we had with this decision, but it was the only decision we could make for one we loved so much. our hearts are broken, but paco is finally running free and strong throughout the forest and the ravine, in the mountains, along the iowa and rio grande rivers, and even splashing through the shallow waves of the gulf of mexico--something he discovered he liked later in life. he is always with us.
paco meant the world to us. he made our lives happier, richer, fuller...better. he made our lives better. he slept in gus' room every night for more than six years, he ran with rich every other day when he could, he kept me company during the day when everyone was at school or work and made me feel far less alone, and astrid can't remember not having her built-in playmate paco in her life--i think she thought she was a dog for a time. he did all of these things for us, with us, without complaint. he was a happy soul--he smiled a ton--and, for the most part, he had a strong, healthy body. that a terrible disease got him in the end is not who he was, it is merely what brought him down physically.
i hope we did enough for him; i hope he knew how much he was adored. i hope i get to meet him again someday, and i hope he remembers me. goodbye, sweet dog paco. we will always love you.

still here...kindofnotreally
it's been an age! this has been a tough transition time, as i'm sure was obvious by the previous posts. repatriation did not go smoothly, and many a life-changing decision has been made over the past six months since our return because of it.
the allen family bermuda triangle struck with a mighty blow and knocked me and the kiddos back to houston. my sweet husband, however, remains in iowa. this is not ideal. we're doing an every-other-week thing with varying success, and have high hopes for his being in houston full-time before long. the kids love their new schools and are doing very well, but that's to be expected just because...that's what is expected. they do seem happier, but they miss their dad.
fingers crossed that a program/hospital/practice gets a clue and snatches rich up sooner rather than later.

glad påsk, a bit early (part one)
and a very happy early easter to you, too! we have a super-busy week coming up in the triangle, and i didn't want to miss out on posting these easter postcards. as you've probably guessed, glad påsk means "happy easter" in swedish...and, as i've admitted publicly, i'm still in sweden in my head. as i've also admitted publicly, i'm a giant fan of mid-century swedish graphic design, thus i bring you EVEN MORE delightful examples of such. they are wonderful in their simplicity--with just a minimal amount of color and line, a great impact is made even with something as commonplace as a holiday postcard. in sweden, you don't see many easter bunnies, rather you see the easter rooster. sometimes there's a hen and usually some chicks, always some eggs, but the easter bunnies seem to be few and far between. i wonder why?
part two to come soon...

Question: What do you get when you pass a law consisting of thousands of pages of regulations too numerous and complex to be understood by anyone? Answer: Unintended consequences.
A new study from S&P Capital IQ reveals the extent to which this is the case with the Affordable Care Act. The study finds that, by taking advantages of incentives built into the law - albeit more by accident than design - big corporations can save up to $800 billion dollars by dropping low-wage workers from their health insurance plans and forcing them onto the ObamaCare exchanges.
The problems with this are legion, as is the hypocrisy with which the law's supporters defend policies that result in the exact opposite of what they claim to want. Democrats in the Senate recently voted (unsuccessfully) to raise the federal minimum wage to $10.10 an hour, citing concerns over the well-being of low-wage workers and demanding a "living wage." But employer-sponsored health care originated as a substitute for wage increases (prohibited due to FDR's wage controls.) Now that workers will be losing this perk, they will effectively experience a de facto wage decrease as a result of ObamaCare.
It is also ironic that the ACA has proven so beneficial to corporate giants when the Obama administration has spent the last five years relentlessly attacking the wealthy and powerful in word, if not in deed. In fact, the $800 billion big companies stand to save by foisting their employees' health insurance off on the government is peanuts compared to Obama's other accumulated corporate welfare programs, including the stimulus package, multiple Farm Bills, and the bailout of U.S. auto companies. The cronyist overtones in everything the president has done are plain to see for anyone who takes the time to look.
By now, Obama's claim that "if you like your health insurance plan, you can keep it" has been well and truly debunked, with fact-checking organization Politifact naming it the "lie of the year" for 2013, but the fact that the cancellations keep on coming does nothing to help the president's credibility.
But perhaps the greatest cause for concern is the seemingly systematic way that Americans are being shifted into government dependence. While the employer-sponsored model for health insurance is grossly flawed, and should never have come into being in the first place, at least it provided a way for workers to obtain health care without running to the government for help. Now, thanks to the ACA, even hard-working employees in low-wage jobs will find themselves forced into federal- or state-run exchanges or else pay a penalty for failing to do so.
When the poor have no recourse but to rely on government entitlements for basic necessities, they are trapped into an endless cycle of dependence, forced to vote to perpetuate the very system that keeps them down. Once a majority of Americans need Big Government just to keep their heads above water, the progressives know all too well that they will never lose another election. This is why it is so important to emphasize that these policies actually hurt the people they purport to help.
Let's review, shall we? The left claims to want higher wages for the poor while praising a law that effectively lowers wages; the left claims to oppose handouts to big corporations while praising a law that effectively hands them $800 billion; Obama claimed that people would be able to keep their existing health care while pushing a law that does the exact opposite.
If you want to know what progressives really stand for, it is always better to look at what they do instead of listening to what they say. The gulf between the two makes the Grand Canyon look positively quaint.
Stonex2 , money is always a part of the political process even if you are a candidate for one of the socialist parties. But you'd be incorrect if you thought that the tea party's power comes from it's coffers. The tea party could not exist without millions of ordinary citizens. It's power has come from it's numbers and not from it's ability to "buy off" anyone. In other words, what the tea party offers a candidate is votes- a chance to win- and not money to make commercials and signs the way a corporate special interest group does. Even if you don't agree with the Tea Party, it's important to note, that if there is ever going to be any kind of real reform it will have to happen the way the Tea Party did it. A movement involving so many citizens that they can not be ignored. And politicians attaining and retaining power based upon how they serve the ideological interests of the people they are supposed to represent. I wish the democrats could put their differences in opinions aside long enough to realize that what the tea party did is exactly what the founders hoped their citizenry would do. Think of what it would take to have the country changed exactly the way you would like it be. The "stone stone" party may have many different types of members of various income levels and vocations but what will really matter is how much impact it will have in the voting booth. This is much different than the "Corporatism" which is a back room deal between a politician and a monied interest. "Corporatism" is corruption because it excludes the ordinary citizen.
Interesting- this mention of "Corporatism". Especially in light of how the Tea Party gets its money: From billionaire conservatives and lobbys for various corporations and industries.

See, that is what I'm getting at. Due to the OP having tendonitis I didn't want to make her feel pressured that she needed to be all "grr" and physical. Even though for some people Burning Man seems to be about Sacrifice(TM) I absolutely feel it doesn't necessarily have to be. People who can't bench press 250 lbs or swing a hammer all day under the playa sun can still give fantastic gifts.Savannah wrote:

I think when trying to figure out what one's gift should be a person should think not only about the validity of the gift(which is important) but also the cost of the gift to the person, taking into consideration not only one's bank account but also one's health.
If your gift to someone costs you your health I am not sure I would call that a good gift. Dramatic, yes. But maybe not good.
If I told you you would loose all respect for me. It involves a mix of things horribly geeky and even more inappropriate. However, I do think that I need to stick around.Savannah wrote:

The scholarship is designed to identify and support the country's top emerging fashion exporter.
Auckland-based I Love Ugly presented a compelling submission to the competition, said DHL spokesperson Megan Wildermoth.
"They have a strong, strategic online presence that compliments their traditional retail offering, and with the fashion industry heading online, this approach will allow them to grow."
I Love Ugly's designers intend to use the prize to push their international exports and get the label's name out there, said marketing director Mo Kheir.
This is the first time online exporters have been eligible for the scholarship, which has been running for five years.
Fashion designer and judge Kate Sylvester said the brand had a solid vision.
"They know exactly what they want and what they have to do to achieve it.
"It's an aspirational brand that appeals to young consumers as well as the 35-40-year olds."
The brand represents the future of the fashion industry, said FINZ chairman Paul Blomfield.
"Their export success to date has been achieved using online combined with a
comprehensive interactive multi-media approach to the business which is refreshing."
Blomfield said the designers had been strategic in their export focus.

Researchers discover "Achilles' heel" for lymphoid leukemia Français
Feb 11, 2013, 13:58 ET
An international study coordinated at the IRCM finds a possible alternative treatment to significantly reduce the adverse effects of chemotherapy
MONTREAL, Feb. 11, 2013 /CNW Telbec/ - An international research team coordinated at the IRCM in Montréal found a possible alternative treatment for lymphoid leukemia. Led by Dr. Tarik Möröy, the IRCM's President and Scientific Director, the team discovered a molecule that represents the disease's "Achilles' heel" and could be targeted to develop a new approach that would reduce the adverse effects of current treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy. The study's results are being published today in the prestigious scientific journal Cancer Cell.
The researchers' results have direct implications for the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), one of the four most common types of leukemia. ALL is a cancer of the bone marrow and blood that progresses rapidly without treatment. Current treatments consist of chemotherapy and radiation therapy, which are both highly toxic and non-specific, meaning that they damage healthy cells as well as tumour tissues.
"Even when effective, patients can suffer dramatic side effects from these treatments," says Dr. Möröy, who is also Director of the Hematopoiesis and Cancer research unit at the IRCM and corresponding author of the study. "Therefore, they would directly benefit from an improved therapy that could reduce the necessary dose of radiation or chemotherapy, and thus their side effects, while maintaining the treatments' efficacy. Therapies that target specific molecules have shown great promise. This is why, for the past 20 years, I have been studying a molecule called Gfi1, which plays an important role in the development of blood cells and cancer."
When normal cells are transformed into tumour cells, the body responds by activating a tumour suppressor protein that induces cell death. Tumour cells must therefore counteract cell death in order to survive.
"With this study, we found that leukemic cells depend on the Gfi1 molecule for their survival," explains Dr. Cyrus Khandanpour, co-first author of the study and University Hospital physician at University Duisburg-Essen in Germany. "In fact, this molecule helps the malignant cells avoid death by hindering the activity of the tumour suppressor protein. Our results show that when Gfi1 is removed in mice that suffer from T-cell leukemia, the tumour disappears and the animals survive."
"Following this discovery, we wanted to test whether it could be used as a viable approach to treat leukemia in humans," adds Dr. Möröy. "We transplanted cells from a patient with T-cell leukemia into a mouse. We then inhibited the Gfi1 molecule using a commercially-available agent, and noticed that it stopped the expansion of human leukemia in the bone marrow, peripheral blood and spleen, without leading to adverse effects."
"These results are a significant indication that therapies targeting the molecule Gfi1 would work in human patients," says Dr. H. Leighton Grimes, co-corresponding author of the study from the Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. "In fact, if our results translate to patients, they could improve the prognosis of people suffering from lymphoid malignancies," adds Dr. James Phelan, the study's co-first author and recent PhD graduate in Dr. Grimes' laboratory.
"Our study suggests that a molecular-based therapy targeting Gfi1 would not only significantly improve response rates, but may also lower effective doses of chemotherapy agents or radiation, thereby reducing harmful side effects," concludes Dr. Khandanpour, who is also a visiting scientist at the IRCM. "Gfi1 represents an Achilles' heel for lymphoid leukemia and we are continuing to work so that our approach may soon move to clinical trials."
About acute lymphoblastic leukemia
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is one of the four most common types of leukemia and affects blood cells and the immune system. The disease develops when immature white blood cells are overproduced in the bone marrow, crowd out normal cells, and eventually spread to other organs. Acute refers to the relatively short time course of the disease, as it can be fatal in as little as a few weeks if untreated.
According to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada, ALL is the most common type of cancer in children from one to seven years old, and the most common type of leukemia in children from infancy up to age 19. Four out of five children with ALL are cured of their disease after treatment. The number of adults and their remission lengths have grown significantly over the past 30 years. An estimated 4,800 people in Canada were expected to develop leukemia in 2010.
About the study
The article published in Cancer Cell was a collaborative project between Tarik Möröy's team in Montréal, Cyrus Khandanpour in Germany, H. Leighton Grimes and James Phelan from Cincinnati in the United States, and Bertie Göttgens from Cambridge in the United Kingdom. Collaborators from Dr. Möröy's IRCM laboratory include Lothar Vassen, Riyan Chen, Marie-Claude Gaudreau and Joseph Krongold. Research at the IRCM was funded by grants from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), the Canada Research Chair program, the IRCM and the Cole Foundation.

How To Install A Top-Mount Battery Tray
Virginia Classic Mustang's Top-Mount Battery Tray Offers Relief For '65-'66 Mustangs With Specialized Battery Needs
Our friend Gary Mattson of Simi Valley, California, has a fundamental problem. He doesn't want his new Optima dry-cell battery falling into the cooling fan. The factory battery tray uses a battery lip hold-down, which works well with Autolite Sta-Ful reproductions and many aftermarket batteries. But there are now aftermarket lead/acid batteries, not to mention Optima dry-cell batteries, which require a top-mount battery tray.
For those who aren't concerned with originality, Virginia Classic Mustang offers a top-mount battery tray for '65-'66 models, like those from the factory with '67-and-later Mustangs. This easy swap is accomplished in about 20 minutes and it keeps your Optima battery in place.

CARSON, Calif. – When one of the LA Galaxy's most important players returned after a prolonged absence, the stars finally aligned.
Struggling defensively all season, the Galaxy finally picked up a shutout on Sunday when the club knocked off Portland 1-0 at The Home Depot Center. That it coincided with Josh Saunders' return was no coincidence, according to his teammates.
"Consistent, good goalkeeping is a huge plus and a huge reason why you get shutouts," defender Todd Dunivant said. "For a lot of reasons, we haven't got shutouts this year, but having him back and having him play at the level he did [Sunday] was a big reason we got the zero."
Saunders last played for LA on April 21, when he led the club to a 2-1 victory at Colorado. Just before the Galaxy's April 28 match against FC Dallas, Saunders took a leave of absence for personal reasons and did not play in any of the team's following seven league matches.
But Saunders returned over the break and promptly stepped into the Galaxy goal. Since his return, the LA netminder has given teammates a lift and reminded them why he's an endearing individual.
"Josh was great," captain Landon Donovan said. "I think his attitude since he's been back has been great. I guess everyone would say the same thing: It looks like he has some clarity in life. He looks humble, he looks calm. I thought he was excellent."
While he was away, Sauders teammates and coaches stood by him. And although everyone seemed to welcome him back with open arms, if it had taken Saunders longer to come back, the team would have stood by that as well.
"He's a very likable person," Galaxy manager Bruce Arena said. "Obviously, he dealt with some difficult personal experiences, but the team supported him all the way and he was really happy to be back. To have an experienced goalkeeper in the goal certainly helps, and he made a couple saves in the first half that were big. Just having his experience I think helps the entire group."
Saunders was tested twice early on against the Timbers, and twice he responded. He turned away Kris Boyd with his face in the opening moments of the match then dove to knock a long-range shot from Boyd away with an outstretched arm.
Many pointed to their goalkeeper's return as the biggest difference vs. the Timbers, but Saunders was not about take all the credit for the team's first victory since April 21 and first clean sheet in 17 games across all competitions.
"It was just one of those things where we all focused on the task at hand," Saunders said. "If I was there to boost some other people's confidence, then that's great, but I feel like at the same time it was just another game where we were focused to win."

Steakcraft: The Meaty Details of The Breslin's Rib Steak
Behind the scenes of New York's premium dry-aged steaks. An in-depth look at the aging, cooking, and presentation of New York's premium dry-aged steaks from beef expert Nick Solares.
Steak Fact Sheet
Cut: Rib Steak
Grade: USDA Prime
Breed: Black Angus
Dry Aged? 28 Days
Pre-Cooked Weight:26 to 52 oz.
Price: $4 per ounce, comes with chips and béarnaise sauce
If Rosie the Riveter were alive today and interested in food more than factory work, she would work the kitchen at The Breslin. April Bloomfield's brawny, meaty menu has all the hallmarks of a macho butcher-driven restaurant—big meaty cuts are offered in a stripped-down, somewhat austere dining room, of raw wood and dim lights. There is certainly an evocation here of the Beef Steak, the 19th century fraternal (men only) banquets that anticipated the modern steakhouse.
But Bloomfield brings other sensibilities to table. There is a finesse that only a trained chef could muster and a decidedly personal grace. Bloomfield is adept at turning convention on its head. She didn't scrap the overtly masculine, brigade notion of the classic kitchen by stripping away the hierarchy; rather, she co-opted it.
Take Christina Lecki, the head chef at The Breslin. She is short with a soft voice, friendly face, and a wry smile. Yet she commands the kitchen with the authority of a Brigadier. When her knife goes missing or the chips are not cooked adequately she has no problem taking the culprit to task. She cooks whole animals and bastes giant slabs of meat in their own fat. But like Bloomfield she's clear and precise in her movements and technique. That goes for cooking the steak, too.
The Breslin takes in whole 28-day dry aged USDA Prime rib sections supplied by Pat LaFrieda. The beef is from either Diamond Creek Ranch or Creekstone Farms and the chine bones have been removed so that the steaks can be cut by hand—otherwise the primals are untouched.The steaks are fabricated in house and the left over aged fat is rendered and used for sauces and stocks.
Once trimmed, the rib is only seasoned with kosher salt—Bloomfield and Lecki feel that pepper becomes scorched and acrid if added at this stage of the process. Fresh ground pepper is added only after the steak is cooked.
The seasoned steak is seared "dry" in a Swiss steel pan—the meat cooks in the fat from its own fat cap, and the fat then bastes the steak as it continues to cook. Only once the meat is seared all around its side edge is it ready to be seared face down.
Unlike the "set and forget" practice of using a steakhouse broiler, the rib steak at The Breslin is tended to the entire time it cooks. Lecki constantly moves the steak around the Swiss steel pan, basting it as necessary to fill in in any spots that might need browning. The result is one of the the most gloriously bronzed steaks I have ever seen.
When asked why the steak is moved around so much, Lecki responds, "I want avoid the thick grey band that develops if you leave it in place." Indeed, despite the incredible sear it hardly extends beyond the edge, leaving rosy inner flesh from edge to edge.
The steak is allowed to rest after cooking and is presented whole at the table before being whisked back to the kitchen for carving. Once sliced it is seasoned with Jacobson's salt, black pepper, and lashings of olive oil and lemon juice before being artfully arranged on a cutting board and served with thrice-cooked chips and Béarnaise sauce.

text: c4_angel Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Hello to all! Many thanks to berelinde and jestey for your fantastic works to this mod. I have made a Chinese translation on v10 last year(didn't find there is already v11 version ). After making a quick check and correction I installed the mod with that translation successfully. Since there is no official Chinese language of BG2EE yet, I cannot do any test on BG2EE, I can only make sure it's OK with vanilla BG2 or BGT with Chinese language games. I made slightly change to setup-alternatives.tp2 file besides the translation: -Add a new LANGUAGE line refers to the translation. -Add a check in the ALWAYS block: if install the mod with language of Chinese, then edit the alternatives_noconvert array. Otherwise there could be messy codes when uninstall/reinstall the mod, when running Windows with Chinese. -Add a block at the end of .tp2 file, change the SELECT_COMMON1 of "b!mal.cre" and "b!mal2.cre", to show Chinese characters instead of English ones. Edit: GBK means simplified Chinese characters. alternatives_V11_GBK.zip Link to post

"Do not weaken and do not grieve, and you will
be superior if you are believers."
(Surat al 'Imran, 139)
The Concept of Zeal in A Society of Ignorance
belongs to a society of ignorance?
Ignorance is
usually understood as being uneducated and uncultured. However, the ignorant people
depicted throughout this book are those who are ignorant about the religion of
Islam, about the infinite might and attributes of Allah who created them, and
about the Qur'an that has been revealed to mankind. Such people live according
to information imposed on them by a society full of misconceptions rather than
facts revealed in the Qur'an. Allah defines people of ignorance as those "whose
forefathers were not warned, so they are unaware."4
lives of people who are unaware of the Qur'an and have no knowledge of the real
nature of worldly life, the truth about death, and the after-death experiences
of Hell and Paradise are compatible with their ignorance. Consequently, the matters
that make them feel happy, eager and excited are based upon flawed and erroneous
People of ignorance are enthusiastic only about worldly goals
who took their religion as distraction and amusement and whom the worldly
life deluded."5
As the verse suggests, people in a society
of ignorance are greatly deluded about the life of this world. Despite being aware
of its brief and imperfect nature, they prefer this temporary life to an eternal
life in the Hereafter because they expect to obtain worldly benefits more easily
and harbor doubts about the existence of the next world. This erroneous rationale
assumes that the world is within easy reach, while the Hereafter is far away.
It is, no doubt, a very shallow and irrational kind of reasoning. After all, man's
life in this world is confined to a very brief period of time. A lifespan lasting
six or seven decades, half of which is spent in childhood and the advanced years
of old age, is indisputably brief compared to the eternal life of the Hereafter.
Furthermore, even before the completion of those six or seven decades, one may
die for some reason. At any moment he may find his life, which he assumed to be
well in his hands, suddenly taken away, and may, at an utterly unexpected time,
find himself entering his eternal life in the Hereafter, although he had assumed
it to be very distant.
The heedless people of ignorance strive to make
the most of their worldly lives during this short period rather than earning Allah's
acceptance and His reward of Paradise. Consequently, the issues over which these
people show zeal are limited to the minor goals pertaining to this world. In fact,
the feelings they imagine to be enthusiasm and excitement are nothing but greed.
Passionately attached to this life, they feel great excitement towards everything
from which they expect to derive benefit and consequently, better living conditions.
Accordingly, people feel a great desire to become wealthy or to have a prestigious
status or career. In order to attain such a goal they make all forms of self-sacrifice
and willingly endure every hardship.
The daily lives of these people abound
with incidents that reveal their understanding of zeal. For example, to earn a
prestigious diploma, which would bring him recognition, a student may immerse
himself in books for years. Aware that this is conducive to success, he willingly
spends sleepless nights and avoids socializing, if necessary. A typical day begins
for him with an early morning commute and is spent in tremendous effort, which
he endures with pleasure. Yet, he would decline to make the same sacrifice to
help a friend since it brings him no perceivable worldly gain. What is underlined
here is that although the majority of people know how to accomplish a task with
zeal and enthusiasm, they will undertake it only if it serves their own interests.
They do not demonstrate the same ambition for something that would earn them the
pleasure of Allah, and show indifference if a worldly benefit is not forthcoming.
The mentality peculiar to ignorance, which is based only on worldly benefits,
can be portrayed with the following example. An executive whose company is on
the edge of bankruptcy devotes all his energy, wisdom, means and time to work
out the problem. But his employee does not feel the same eagerness to save the
company and thus is unlikely to find a good solution because he is not the person
who will suffer direct loss when the company goes bankrupt. As seen, worldly benefits
generally underlie the zeal and determination felt by members of ignorant societies.
The extent of benefit is often indicative of the degree of ambition felt.
The excitement of its members is but a temporary desire
The concept
of zeal peculiar to a society of ignorance is apparent in the fleeting nature
of worldly enthusiasm. People may experience a burst of interest and eagerness
towards a certain issue and then one day lose these feelings abruptly. In a society
of ignorance almost everyone has launched numerous projects enthusiastically.
Yet, they quit after a short while simply because of boredom and unwillingness
to continue. For example, most of those who desire to play a musical instrument
soon lose interest and quit their courses. Someone who is eager to help the needy
and immediately begins charity work may, before long, lose his zeal and stop the
work. Because such people do not really commit themselves to noble ideals, helping
the poor, doing good deeds or broadening one's horizons in any given subject prove
to be only passing whims. Living through the day, being able to meet their immediate
needs, and earning the appreciation of other people are often enough to satisfy
these people. Nothing beyond that point seems meaningful to them. This being the
case, they may occasionally give attention to some issues which are unrelated
to their own needs and concerns, but after a short while their interest is overcome
by boredom and monotony.
As long as a person believes his efforts will
bring him good and benefit, his zeal and enthusiasm never abate. Yet none of the
aims pursued by one who turns his back on the Hereafter is worthy of continuous
zeal. Encountering the slightest difficulty, failure or criticism, he may suddenly
feel tired and daunted and abandon his goal. Additionally, he may fall into despair.
Negative thoughts such as, "I took great pains to accomplish it but failed" draw
him into pessimism and dampen his enthusiasm.
A person who for years had
the ambition to become an architect may suddenly lose it once he encounters difficulties
in his drawing projects. Or a person interested in painting may lose all his interest
after a couple of tries. Often, the commitment of those who engage in voluntary
work with aid organizations is praised in newspapers and among friends. The pleasure
derived from doing charity work and the good feeling such voluntary work produces
may draw other people. However, those who engage in such charity work to earn
prestige in society may lose their interest after some time, and the only way
to keep their enthusiasm is to make their efforts known to the public and praise
them. That is, they have to receive a benefit, even a psychological one; otherwise,
even getting up early on weekends seems difficult and becomes a reason to quit
such activities.
Believers, however, who consider engaging in good deeds
and helping people a means to attain the good pleasure of Allah, never lose their
enthusiasm. Encountering difficulties will not make them abandon their ideals.
On the contrary, aware that in the face of difficulties such work becomes more
precious in the sight of Allah, they derive more pleasure and feel more enthusiastic
about it.
4.Surah Yaseen, 36:6
5. Surah al-A'raf, 7:51.

SHOP: New Eyewear E-Commerce Site
July 26, 2011
Snow Sports Industry Veteran Launches New
Eyewear E-Commerce Site: ActionSportOptics.com
Today marks the official launch of the new specialty eyewear e-tailer, ActionSportOptics.com.
Headquartered in Northern Vermont, Action Sport Optics was founded by snow sports industry veteran, Dan Stanilonis, to fill a void in the current e-commerce landscape. It has the unique distinction of being one of the only websites that specializes in exclusively carrying sunglasses and goggles specifically geared toward the action sports and active lifestyle communities.
"I launched Action Sport Optics because after working in the snow sports industry for 15 years, I felt there was a need for an eyewear-focused website to serve as a one-stop-shop for action sports participants, or anyone who lives an active, outdoor lifestyle," says Stanilonis. "Whether you bike, snowboard, ski, surf or ride motocross, we strive to carry everything you need, and nothing you don't."
Taking a boutique approach to its product offering, Action Sport Optics has carefully curated a streamlined assortment of sunglasses and goggles from leading eyewear brands including Spy, Dragon, Anon, Arnette, Ashbury, Filtrate, Julbo, Native, Scott, and Tifosi. In the months ahead, additional brand partners will be added to the line-up with key styles offered from each.
"We're backed by great brands, we pride ourselves on superior customer service, we offer free ground shipping on all US orders, and we're extremely passionate about the lifestyle we represent," continues Stanilonis. "Eyewear is our vision, and we can't wait to help you find exactly what you need!"
In addition to selling eyewear, ActionSportOptics.com also features a blog that chronicles the latest product, team and event happenings from its various brand partners. Later this year, the blog will also house video product reviews and news about the Action Sport Optics ambassador squad.

Sandy Klop was not the only incredible quilt maker/fabric designer at the retreat a couple of weeks ago. Lori Holt was there as well. If you don't know Lori, you soon will.
Lori is not new to the quilt design business. She has been designing incredible appliquéd quilts for over a decade. This is one of my favorites – it's called Grandma's Kitchen. I love all the retro apliances and other comfortable kitchen nostalgia.
Here are some others at a recent trunk show at American Quilting. From left to right: Paper Dolls, Comforts of Home and Family Reunion. Lori's blog has a list of sites where you can order her patterns online. (Look down the right hand column of the blog.)
Here's some of the detail from the Paper Dolls quilt. I can't even imagine possessing the creativity or the patience to create such amazing works. Fabulous.

Adrian Peterson to Baby Mama -- I Never Stiffed You ... On Child Support, Anyway
Adrian Peterson to Baby Mama I Never Stiffed You ... On Child Support, Anyway
NFL star Adrian Peterson never skimped on child support to the mother of his 2nd child, not once -- despite her claims -- at least according to official documents obtained by TMZ.
As we reported ... Erica Syion filed court docs back in April, accusing AP of stiffing her on more than $50,000 in unpaid child support and other bills (including travel expenses and tuition) related to their 4-year-old son.
She told us, Adrian eventually settled with her in September, paying all his outstanding bills -- but we've obtained official docs showing child support was NEVER in arrears.
According to the papers, Adrian has dutifully paid his child support to Erica ($2,500 a month) since 2009.
Sources close to AP tell us the court order which determined child support ... did NOT require him to pay tuition and travel expenses -- however when Erica raised the issue, Adrian ponied up.
We've also obtained docs showing Adrian asked the court for more visitation time with his son.
We reached out to Erica, but she hasn't gotten back to us.

World leaders commemorate Holocaust, oppose antisemitism
Heads of state and government from dozens of countries arrived in Jerusalem to mark the 75th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz concentration camp.
The January 23 event at Jerusalem's Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial comes amid a spike in anti-Jewish violence in Europe and around the world.
Russian President Vladimir Putin, French President Emmanuel Macron, Britain's Prince Charles, U.S. Vice President Mike Pence, and the presidents of Germany, Italy, and Austria were among the more than 40 dignitaries attending the World Holocaust Forum, the largest-ever gathering focused on commemorating The Holocaust and combating modern-day antisemitism.
However, Polish President Andrzej Duda refused to attend, voicing dissatisfaction that he hadn't been allowed to address the gathering while representatives of Russia, France, Britain, the United States, and Germany would deliver speeches.
Israeli organizers said only the four World War II allies, and Germany, would speak at the event.
Poland, which has also been upset by comments made by Putin last month suggesting Poland shared responsibility for the war, will host its own commemorative event at the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum south of the country on January 27.
More than 1 million people, most of them Jews, were killed at the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp during Nazi Germany's wartime occupation of Poland. Six million Jews died in the Holocaust.
At a reception he hosted on the eve of the gathering, Israeli President Reuven Rivlin called on world leaders to "leave history for the historians.'
'The role of political leaders, of all of us, is to shape the future,' Rivlin said.
'I hope and pray...that the leaders of the world will stand united in the fight against racism, antisemitism, and extremism, in defending democracy and democratic values. This is our challenge. This is our choice,' he said.
In advance of the forum, statements from world leaders sending delegations to Jerusalem projected a commitment to quelling a climate some said was reminiscent of that before World War II.
"I express my fervent hope that by continued vigilance and positive education, the iniquities perpetrated during one of the darkest periods in our history will be eliminated from the face of the earth," Pope Francis wrote.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau specifically mentioned "the scourge of antisemitism and hatred that is becoming all too common once again."
"The murder of 6 million Jews by the brutal and antisemitic Nazi regime started with a slow erosion of rights, and the normalization of discrimination," he wrote. "We cannot permit the passage of time to diminish our resolve never to allow such horrors to happen again.'
The event marks one of the largest political gatherings in Israeli history. More than 10,000 police officers were deployed in Jerusalem while major highways and large parts of the city were shut down ahead of the event.
