Hyraxes (from the Greek ὕραξ, hýrax, "shrewmouse"), also called dassies,[1] are small, thickset, herbivorous mammals in the order Hyracoidea. Hyraxes are well-furred, rotund animals with short tails. Typically, they measure between 30 and 70 cm (12 and 28 in) long and weigh between 2 and 5 kg (4.4 and 11 lb). They are also superficially similar to pikas or rodents (especially marmots), but are more closely related to elephants and manatees.
|Rock hyrax (Procavia capensis)
Erongo, Namibia
|Scientific classification
Huxley, 1869
Four extant species are recognised; the rock hyrax (Procavia capensis) and the yellow-spotted rock hyrax (Heterohyrax brucei), which both live in isolated rock outcrops, called kopjes,[2] the western tree hyrax (Dendrohyrax dorsalis) and the southern tree hyrax (D. arboreus). Their distribution is limited to Africa and the Middle East.
Hyraxes retain a number of primitive mammalian characteristics; in particular, they have poorly developed internal temperature regulation,[citation needed] for which they compensate by behavioural thermoregulation, such as huddling together and basking in the sun.
Unlike most other browsing and grazing animals, they do not use the incisors at the front of the jaw for slicing off leaves and grass; rather, they use the molar teeth at the side of the jaw. The two upper incisors are large and tusk-like, and grow continuously through life, similar to rodents. The four lower incisors are deeply grooved 'comb teeth'. A diastema occurs between the incisors and the cheek teeth. The dental formula for hyraxes is 220.127.116.11.0.4.3.
Although not ruminants, hyraxes have complex, multichambered stomachs that allow symbiotic bacteria to break down tough plant materials, but their overall ability to digest fibre is lower than that of the ungulates.[3] Their mandibular motions (see video) are deceptively similar to chewing cud,[4] but the hyrax is physically incapable of regurgitation[5][6] as in the even-toed ungulates and the merycism of some of the macropods. This behaviour is referred to in a passage in the Bible which describes hyraxes as chewing the cud.[7] This chewing behaviour may be a form of agonistic behaviour when the animal feels threatened.[8]
Hyraxes inhabit rocky terrain across sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East. Their feet have rubbery pads with numerous sweat glands, which may help the animal maintain its grip when quickly moving up steep, rocky surfaces. Hyraxes have stumpy toes with hoof-like nails; there are four toes on each front foot and three on each back foot.[9] They also have efficient kidneys, retaining water so that they can better survive in arid environments.
Female hyraxes give birth to up to four young after a gestation period between seven and eight months, depending on the species. The young are weaned at one to five months of age, and reach sexual maturity at 16 to 17 months.
Hyraxes live in small family groups, with a single male that aggressively defends the territory from rivals. Where living space is abundant, the male may have sole access to multiple groups of females, each with their own range. The remaining males live solitary lives, often on the periphery of areas controlled by larger males, and mate only with younger females.[10]
Hyraxes have highly charged myoglobin, which has been inferred to reflect an aquatic ancestry.[11]
Similarities with elephants and SireniaEdit
Hyraxes share several unusual characteristics with elephants and the Sirenia (manatees and dugongs), which have resulted in their all being placed in the taxon Paenungulata. Male hyraxes lack a scrotum and their testicles remain tucked up in their abdominal cavity next to the kidneys,[12][13] the same as in elephants, manatees, and dugongs.[14] Female hyraxes have a pair of teats near their arm pits (axilla), as well as four teats in their groin (inguinal area); elephants have a pair of teats near their axillae, and dugongs and manatees have a pair of teats, one located close to each of the front flippers.[citation needed] The tusks of hyraxes develop from the incisor teeth as do the tusks of elephants; most mammalian tusks develop from the canines. Hyraxes, like elephants, have flattened nails on the tips of their digits, rather than curved, elongated claws which are usually seen on mammals.[15]
Biblical referencesEdit
The words "rabbit", "hare", or "coney" appear as terms for the hyrax in some English translations of the Bible. Early English translators had no knowledge of the hyrax (Hebrew שָּׁפָן shafan),[16] and therefore no name for them. References are made to hyraxes in the Old Testament,[17] particularly in Leviticus 11, where they are described as lacking a split hoof and therefore not being kosher. It also describes the hyrax as chewing its cud; this is technically inaccurate as the hyrax does not regurgitate its food to chew it again. The Hebrew phrase in question (מַעֲלֵה גֵרָה) means "bringing up cud". Some of the modern translations refer to them as rock hyraxes.[citation needed]
"hyraxes are creatures of little power, yet they make their home in the crags" -Proverbs 30:26 NIV
All modern hyraxes are members of the family Procaviidae (the only living family within Hyracoidea) and are found only in Africa and the Middle East. In the past, however, hyraxes were more diverse, and widespread. The order first appears in the fossil record at a site in the Middle East in the form of Dimaitherium, 37 million years ago.[18] For many millions of years, hyraxes were the primary terrestrial herbivores in Africa, just as odd-toed ungulates were in North America.
Through the middle to late Eocene, many different species existed,[19] the largest of them weighing the same as a small horse and the smallest the size of a mouse. During the Miocene, however, competition from the newly developed bovids, which were very efficient grazers and browsers, displaced the hyraxes into marginal niches. Nevertheless, the order remained widespread and diverse as late as the end of the Pliocene (about two million years ago) with representatives throughout most of Africa, Europe, and Asia.
The descendants of the giant 'hyracoids' (common ancestors to the hyraxes, elephants, and sirenians) evolved in different ways. Some became smaller, and evolved to become the modern hyrax family. Others appear to have taken to the water (perhaps like the modern capybara), ultimately giving rise to the elephant family and perhaps also the sirenians. DNA evidence supports this hypothesis, and the small modern hyraxes share numerous features with elephants, such as toenails, excellent hearing, sensitive pads on their feet, small tusks, good memory, higher brain functions compared to other similar mammals, and the shape of some of their bones.[20]
Hyraxes are sometimes described as being the closest living relative of the elephant,[21] although whether this is so is disputed. Recent morphological- and molecular-based classifications reveal the sirenians to be the closest living relatives of elephants. While hyraxes are closely related, they form a taxonomic outgroup to the assemblage of elephants, sirenians, and the extinct orders Embrithopoda and Desmostylia.[22]
The extinct meridiungulate family Archaeohyracidae, consisting of four genera of notoungulate mammals known from the Paleocene through the Oligocene of South America,[23] is a group unrelated to the true hyraxes.

Extant speciesEdit
In the 2000s, taxonomists reduced the number of recognized species of hyrax. In 1995, 11 or more species were recognized; in 2013, only four are recognized, with the others now each considered as a subspecies of one of the recognized four. Over 50 subspecies and species are described, many of which are considered highly endangered.[25]

In literatureEdit
- In the novel Omar the titular character is a pet hyrax, able to speak English and certain dialects of horses and rhinoceroses. Omar claims that the word bandersnatch refers to his kind, and that the warning to shun a bandersnatch only applies when it is frumious.[26]
- In the Bible, Psalm 104:16-18 "The trees of the Lord are well watered, the cedars of Lebanon that he planted. There the birds make their nests; the stork has its home in the junipers. The high mountains belong to the wild goats; the crags are a refuge for the hyrax."[27]

About Kelley Hunt
Kansas City-based blueswoman Kelley Hunt has been defying description for over a decade, and she shows no sign of slowing down. With a commanding, passionate stage presence and superior skills as a vocalist, piano player and songwriter she has earned the respect of critics and fans across North America and Europe.
Kelley's cinematic 6th release "The Beautiful Bones" no doubt poises her for a giant leap forward. The early press confirms critical acclaim lining up fast:
"More than bones prove beautiful on this scintillating release by one of soul's best kept secrets. As she rips across strong originals like the funky "Golden Hour" to high-torque, torrid testaments like the gospel blues of "Release and Be Free", Kelley Hunt's time has come."
"If there is truly a Higher Power, He/She should press PLAY on the latest release by Kansas City's Kelley Hunt. Rest assured that the takeaway will be, despite how everything's been going lately, everything's going to be okay after all…". BLUES MUSIC MAGAZINE
The new album features 12 new songs written or co-written by Hunt and takes listeners on a tour of her stylistic traditional influences bound together by themes urging a return to the recognition of what's real and essential. Lifted by scintillating vocals from Hunt and lavish support from an all-star supporting cast, including soaring background vocals by gospel royalty The McCrary Sisters, "Bones" is looking like a game changer for this already acclaimed, fiercely independent artist and longtime MSP favorite.
Born in Kansas City, Hunt's love for her craft was fine tuned listening to early blues, R&B, roots rock, jazz and Gospel influences – artists like Ruth Brown, Mahalia Jackson, Billie Holiday, Ann Peebles, Ray Charles, Dinah Washington, Aretha Franklin, Charles Brown, Wanda Jackson and a cross section of the New Orleans/St. Louis/KC piano traditions of Professor Longhair, Toots Washington, Johnnie Johnson and Kansas City masters Jay McShann and Mary Lou Williams among others. Before that came the sound of her mother singing jazz and blues – her first musical memories – and the influence of her New Orleans Gospel singer grandmother. Reminders of these very traditional influences are evident in Kelley's live performances and recordings but the lyrics, soul and passion are all her own. Her career path so far has been a story of fierce independence, incredible will, unassailable cred as a blistering live performer and hard-won accomplishment.
Kelley Hunt is going on the road and is once again poised to take audiences by storm. Come check out what the hype is all about!

Washington U. students get halal options
CLAYTON, May 23, 2011 (News Agencies)– Muslim students at Washington University, near St. Louis, now have halal options in campus dining. According to the Muslim Students Association, Washington University is the first school in the state to offer halal food, Stltoday.com reported.
"The goal was to get it started, to get halal in one night a week,†explained David Murphy, director of operations for California-based Bon Appetit. "But now we've expanded, to prepare something every day. The goal is to really push it.â€
For the campus' Muslim students, the halal options mean more alternatives. For Bon Appetit and the food industry at large — from manufacturing giants Kraft and Nestle, to fast food restaurants McDonald's and KFC — halal means big business.

Suicide bomber hits Afghan capital during Hagel visit
A suicide bomber blew himself up outside a gate of the Afghan Defense Ministry in Kabul on Saturday and the attack was followed by small-arms fire, said a spokesman for Afghanistan's NATO-led force.
There was no immediate word on casualties in the blast which took place during a visit by U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel.
The International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) spokesman said Hagel was nowhere near the explosion. A U.S. defence official said Hagel was in a safe location at an ISAF facility.
The attack underscored the security challenges facing
as U.S.-led NATO forces prepare to leave the country by the end of 2014.

The Election Con of the Millennium: NWO Globalists Really Won! Zionist Neocons Rule the White House! Agent Kushner Directed by Israel!
THE MILLENNIUM REPORT: Reporting the Most Important News in the World Today
Israel's House of Kushner
Now Runs the Trump Administration
for the NWO Globalists
Is the Zionist Neocon cabal using a Kushner blackmail operation to control Trump?
"Pedogate criminality can be used to blackmail and/or bribe any politician
on planet Earth if they have been compromised. Even if they haven't, the
pols can still be controlled by the perps with fabricated evidence…which
the C.I.A. and MOSSAD do all the time."
— Veteran Intelligence Analyst
The following investigative report (linked right below) discloses some extremely concerning and sordid criminal history about Charles Kushner, father of Jared Kushner. It exposes the means by which his political power and financial influence have been exerted on government officials in the past. Hence, the question must be asked as to whether the Trump White House is now vulnerable to the same tactics.
Jared Kushner: A Suspected Gangster Within the Trump White House (Investigative Report)
The preceding report is as radioactive as it gets. This detailed exposé needs to be disseminated far and wide before war plans develop beyond a point of no return. Many within the Alt Right would especially benefit from this major reality check while they wax philosophical about Trump's rapidly increasing number of war crimes (e.g. Yemen, Mosul, Syria, Afghanistan, etc.).
Unless the American people come to understand the true depth and breadth of the various control mechanisms operating in the Oval Office — 24/7 — the U.S. government crime spree will only continue. President Trump's audacious war crime committed against Syria with the April 6th missile attack is just the beginning of this new 4-year crime spree. A blatant war crime like that can literally trigger World War III. Deep State has been desperately pushing for war because it would be put out of business were it not for the perpetual war economy that keeps it from collapsing.
Why Did Trump Really Go Ballistic And Commit A War Crime In Syria?
What happened to Donald Trump?
The following video of the President's Easter Week address to the nation reveals a radically different person than the candidate everyone saw on the campaign trail. It's not so much the content of his address that is concerning, although one would think that it was created for the Modern State of Israel, not the United States of America; rather, it was his never-before-seen and quite peculiar way of projecting his presence.
YIKES! What in the world happened to Donald Trump? (Video)
The real $64,000 question, then, is: Who has taken control of the POTUS?
There are actually various answers to this question, each one being quite relevant to the present White House predicament. As for the general mechanics of the takeover operation, the article below provides the short answer to "Who?" and "How?".
'Kushner Coup' inside the Trump White House
Blackmailed by Israel?
There is usually one reason why American presidents commit war crimes, especially early in their first term in office. They are blackmailed by Israel for one purpose or another. Things are no different in the case of President Donald Trump.
"Of course, the rite of passage for every new U.S. President is the commission of a flagrant and unmistakable war crime on behalf of the rogue nation of Israel. Hence, it appears that — with the criminal bombing of Syria — the new POTUS has just had his political bar mitzvah."
(Source: Trump Bombed Syria For Israel)
It's now clear that Jared Kushner is acting on behalf of a foreign entity to negatively influence the POTUS. Why? Because it was his wife Ivanka, according to published reports, who convinced her father to launch a missile attack against the sovereign nation of Syria based on a patently false accusation. If Ivanka did weigh in so heavily with her father, then it was obviously husband Jared who convinced her. The idea of such a risky and unprovoked military assault would never have originated with daughter Ivanka, who is well known to be the apple of her father's eye.
Only Israel stood to gain so much from such a reckless U.S. war crime because it served the advancement of their extremely misguided Greater Israel project. Even ISIS was emboldened by the missile strikes since they hit the Shayrat Airbase that was used to defend the Homs province from the advancing rebels and menacing terrorist groups. That President Trump would make such a weighty and ill-advised move in favor of Israel, which would alienate his entire political base, indicates Jared's direct involvement in the decision process.
There's no question that Jared has been given an inordinate amount of power in the Trump White House just as he was assigned major responsibilities during both the post-election transition period and campaign season. Even his Wikipedia page provides an extraordinary list of titles and roles given by Trump that just keeps on growing.
Jared Kushner's Wikipedia page — "Political Activity" section
This rapidly evolving situation smacks of an underlying conspiratorial plot. To those in intelligence circles, the various April events reflect all the hallmarks of an ongoing Mossad-directed black operation. Numerous agents of Deep State are also acting in concert with Israeli operatives to completely control Trump. If this plot is as organized as it appears to be, then the key point-man is Jared Kushner, who was strategically positioned within Trump's own family several years ago in anticipation of conducting such a bloodless coup. How's that for planning ahead?
The more power that both Jared Kushner and his wife Ivanka Trump accrue in the White House, the more justifiable scrutiny they will both undergo—by everyone concerned. Naked nepotism such as this is similar to a monarchy where members of the royal family fill all the most powerful positions in the realm. This is precisely why George Washington immediately terminated all talk of an American kingship after he was chosen by his peer Founding Fathers to lead the Thirteen Colonies.
However, in the case of Jared Kushner, we have a former zealous Democrat filling all of the most important positions throughout the Trump Administration. And he appears to be acting on behalf of Zionist Israel in the process. So, once again, the barbarians are inside the gates—the White House gates, no less.
For anyone who questions whether the barbarians are inside the gates, please view the following graphics which accurately depict the apartheid state of Israel (Israel's Apartheid State In 10 Graphics). Each of those graphics foreshadows exactly where the United States of America is now going, unless the treasonous conspiracy is exposed and the traitors are arrested post haste.
Given that the same covert Zionist Neocon leadership has been steering the destiny of the USA for decades, it's imperative that the American people throw off the yoke of Israeli bondage asap. Failure to do so will not only result in the eventual debt enslavement of the U.S. citizenry, it will hasten the final demise of the American Republic. Just look at Palestine … as well as the rest of the Middle East. Then take a close look at the European Union, especially the nations on the southern flank, as well as France, Germany and Sweden.
Jared's "666" Building
Even Jared's purchase of the infamous "666" Building located at 666 5th Avenue has created LOTs of suspicion (666 was also the actual NAME of the building until it was changed). That he paid a then record $1.8 billion (3 x 6) certainly did not help allay the fears of conspiracy theorists across the World Wide Web of intrigue. Incidentally, Jared is now 36 years old which he turned just before Trump's inauguration.
'President Kushner' owns 666 Building where the "Mark of the Beast" Chip is Developed
However, that's not the kind of intrigue that really catches people's attention these days. It's that a real estate deal was brokered with the Chinese that allowed young Jared to profit handsomely from the sale of such an [OVERPRICED] piece of real estate. Now how in the world did that happen? And just shortly after the election of his father-in-law?
How did Jared Kushner's "666" Building turn a potential $400 million profit so quickly?
This whole story, not just about the "Kushner coup", but the whole wild and wacky Trump narrative gets weirder by the day. Let's face it, when Russian State TV says that "President Trump is more dangerous than North Korea's Kim Jong-Un", you know things are about to get very interesting indeed!
Russian State TV Says Trump Is More Dangerous Than Kim Jong-Un
Jared & Ivanka, Mega & Monica
The narrow gap of separation between Jared Kushner and some of Israel's top gangsters is cause for alarm. This situation became especially acute after it was revealed that Kushner failed to provide all the requested information on his national security questionnaire forms concerning his contacts with foreign persons and interests, and has led to congressional calls for his security clearance to be suspended.[1]
The preceding excerpt, which comes from the above referenced "investigative report", is well worth revisiting. It highlights a common dynamic which has been at work in the White House for several decades—using any plausible strategy required, including gangster tactics, that permit Israel to closely monitor the White House.
Ever since the United Nations formally admitted Israel into that world body in 1949, the nascent Israeli government knew that it owed its very existence to the USA. Not only did strong American support 'legitimize' that international crime committed against Palestine, the U.S. military has guaranteed Israel's protection ever since. Hence, the perceived need by Tel Aviv to forever control the occupant of the Oval Office has become their highest priority.
Continue reading HERE.
Because of the recent about-face Trump has performed vis-à-vis his base, which occurred during the meteoric ascension of his son-in-law in the West Wing, these hard realities must be addressed. Everything points to a highly coordinated blackmail and/or bribery operation run by Israeli secret services using the young Kushner as the inside agent. That would put Donald Trump's son-in-law at the very center of a black op designed to effectively control the POTUS. Of course, daughter Ivanka would play a pivotal role in this family affair, which is now unfolding as numerous affairs of state.
Key Point: President Bill Clinton experienced a honeytrap blackmail operation when he was stung by part-time Mossad agent Monica Lewinsky whose father was a longtime Israeli intelligence asset (aka Sayanim). When Clinton refused to follow specific orders issued from Tel Aviv about terminating the pursuit of the Israeli mole "Mega" in the White House, the Monica Lewinsky affair was leaked to the DRUDGE REPORT. However, the real reason for "the Monica Lewinsky sex scandal was to force Clinton to abandon pressure on Israel to withdraw from the occupied West Bank".[2] Apparently someone forgot to tell Bill that the POTUS never tells Israel what to do.
Special Note:
Jared Kushner was basically given his real estate empire by his father. Likewise, Jared was given access to his father's financing sources, political network and social connections when Charles was in prison. Hence, Jared has a strong incentive to blame everyone but his father for the crime spree that led to Charles Kushner's ignominious downfall.[3] All the more reason, then, why the true nature of the relationship between father and son must be correctly understood. There is a great likelihood that Charles has used some of the same tactics, which got him into trouble, on Jared. Turning a blindly loyal son into a political Trojan horse sent into the Trump campaign is a cinch for a character like Charles. The crucial point here is that it is quite unlikely that Jared would switch his fidelity from his liberal globalist agenda — so quickly — to a conservative nationalist movement unless he was compelled to do so. A whole family of ardent lifelong Democrats simply does not become Republican overnight…unless they are presented with a rare opportunity to take over a fledgling GOP administration that is in total disarray. As for the Zionist takeover schemes afoot in the White House and obvious Israeli control of Charles, the devil is in the details of Trump's abrupt and militant shift in foreign policy.
The bottom line is that Israel is always determined to control the White House, especially where it concerns U.S. foreign policy toward the Middle East (particularly Palestine).
In the case of the Trump administration, however, there is an inordinate need at this critical time to completely control U.S. domestic policy as well. The international banksters are in very serious trouble and a 'wrong' move by the POTUS can bring down their whole house of cards in a Wall Street moment.
New York City, home to "Little Israel", is the real capital city of New York State which is also known as the Empire State (of the New Babylon). No matter what the empire or the era — it is always the moneychangers who rule the roost. Such was the case for the British Empire, the Roman Empire, Ancient Greece, the Babylonian Empire as well as the various Egyptian Dynasties. Guess who the moneychangers were way back then? (The banksters, moneychangers and tax collectors have always hailed from the same tribal banking class going back millennia, perhaps since the very beginning of the present Iron Age.)
The current Zio-Anglo-American Empire is no different, except that the fiat currency of today's Global Economic & Financial System has no backing whatsoever. Such an unwieldy and untenable predicament has necessitated a controlled demolition of the GE&FS via an unparalleled bankruptcy proceeding. Which is essentially why the banksters chose The Donald—he's a well-known and experienced bankruptcy artist. TRUMP: The NWO Cabal's Nuclear Option—To Declare A US, Inc. Bankruptcy

Editor's Note
TPTB always control both sides of the U.S. counterfeit coin of presidential politics. They have to if they are to remain in total control of the military arm of the New World Order. (The USA: Military Arm Of The New World Order) This is precisely why Trump recently (was forced to) back-flipped on his promise to extricate the USA from NATO warmongering. No U.S. president would ever be allowed to jeopardize the war-making pact between the United States and the North Atlantic Terrorist Organization.
Author's Note
With the implausible election of Donald Trump the world has just witnessed what was quite possibly The Greatest Show On Earth — EVER ! ! ! However, only time will tell if The Donald will get to star in the upcoming "craziest reality show of all time". Whether the title of this ongoing Israeli-American production is Trumpageddon or Trumpocalypse remains to be seen. Therefore, it's now up to We the People to bring the curtain down on the current act before TPTB finish this show with a very tragic ending.

This is the greatest news ever. You are nuts. He will figure out a way of getting rid of the Muslims. And that is the greatest accomplishment that any man can make on this Earth. And Israel is going to help us do it. Why do you think we've transferred all those bunker buster nukes over there. The very memory of the False Prophet must be eradicated from the Earth.
Will Muslims stop immigrating elsewhere if we stop bombing them homeless, do ya think?
You are an imposter. You bear the name of the Egyptian god of wisdom, yet your comment reveals that you have no concern for the truth. You and Israel are hell bound.

Scrap the CIA, Scrap the Purple Take over by Hillary, Scrap Pizzagate, Scrap the Deep state. THE JEWS ARE CONTROLLING THE WHITE HOUSE
seriously… next month it is reptile aliens
Trumps love for his daughter has blinded him to the dangers of his son in law….
Please read GENESIS 12:3. I will bless those who bless you and curse him who curses you .I will always love all Jewish people IT IS God's Covenant With Abraham.
Abraham ~ A Brahma ~ Arab Ham ~ Ha! Bar Am ~ Baa! Harm
Please read the part where the officers of the JEWISH temple gave shekels to Juda and arrest him, and then the Jews called for his murder even though the Romans found him innocent.
You confuse religion with race.
The people who founded and now control the modern political state of Israel are not descendants of Abraham but Europeans who have adopted the Jewish religion. Most of those people living in Israel are no more descendants of Abraham than the 15 million Muslims in China are descendants of Arabs.
"Strictly speaking it is incorrect to call an ancient Israelite a 'Jew' or to call a contemporary Jew an Israelite or a Hebrew." -The Jewish Almanac.
Jews" are not synonymous with ancient Israelites or Hebrews. They are not the seed of Abraham. They just want you to believe that they are, so you will worship them unconditionally.
If you converted to Judaism tomorrow, you would be just as Jewish as anyone else. To be born Jewish means that your mother had converted to Judaism before you were born. Or, your grandmother converted to Judaism before your mother was born. Thus making you and your mother Jewish by default.
The Universal Jewish Encyclopedia tells us that, "The Jewish religion as it is today traces its descent, without a break, through all the centuries, from the Pharisees.
Their leading ideas and methods found expression in a literature of enormous extent, of which a very great deal is still in existence. The Talmud is the largest and most important single member of that literature."
Do you have any idea what the Talmud says about Jesus? It's obviously written by those who murdered Him. Those who He referred to as "the synagogue of satan" in Revelation 2:9. There is only one group of people that congregate in a synagogue.
If you converted to Judaism tomorrow, you would be just as Jewish as anyone else.
IS the potus Jewish, a Zionist, a wealthy corporate elitist, and a 33rd degree secret-oath Freemason too?? Yes, or no?
Has anybody else ever heard that the potus look-alike wears a blue tie, (thus may sound different) or was that just our collective imaginations??
Have we been played, or what? Are we ALWAYS being played like gamblers in a casino?
Of course I mean that we got played by another look-alike, who was obviously unacceptable, and no other candidates to really choose from. And no, apparently not many of us voted for no candidate, as if that could make any difference. Americans just got herded again. Baaaa!
"…with the criminal bombing of Syria — the new POTUS has just had his political bar mitzvah."
Yup….On April 5th, 90 rabbis petitioned Trump to bomb a Syrian airbase. The next day, Trump bombed a Syrian airbase… In the week prior to that, Israel invaded Syrian airspace on four different occasions, to strike targets inside Syria. When Syria actually fired at Israeli aircraft, Israel threatened to destroy Syrian air defence systems. All of this was occurring as the Syrian government was making great advancements against terrorists, and it was becoming clear that their effort to overthrow the Syrian government was destined to fail.
Since their regime change by way of proxy terrorist armies was failing, the US needed a pretext to justify direct involvement in Syria, and this came in the form of ridiculous accusations, suggesting the Syrian government used chemical weapons in Idlib.
Israeli officials have admitted publicly to providing different types of support for jihadi terrorists. Israeli officials have admitted publicly that they would rather ISIS control Syria, than Bashar Assad. ISIS shared the Golan heights with the illegal Israeli "settlements", for an extended period of time, without a single hair on a joo-ish head being harmed. Israel started chanting "Assad must go", at least as early as 2011. All western nations under the Zionist boot, simply parroted the narrative. Israel is indeed the only nation who benefits from their neighbouring Arab states being toppled around them.
Roughly a month ago, Trumpty Dumpty threatened to defund the UN, if they refused to remove a legal report which charged Israel with being an apartheid state. An under secretary resigned over it. Trump's speech at the AIPAC convention was filled with Israeli propaganda and anti-Iran rhetoric. 100+ juze managed and sponsored Trump's campaign, and now many hold influential positions in his administration.
Kushner is kosher nostra, a representative of the synagogue of satan. He controls Trump like a ventriloquist dummy. Hand up the arse, working his mouth like a puppet. Agents of Israel have hijacked control of the American government. It's nothing new, but might be more obvious now, more than ever before. If they fail in their evil endeavours, their last bridge will be burned and they will not be welcome anywhere on earth. They've already been booted out of about 100 nations, and they would have us believe that they were innocent victims on every occasion. To suggest otherwise brings libellous and pathetic cries of "antisemitism". In reality, to understand the reason why they've been booted from about 100 nations, all one has to do is look at what they've done, and are doing in America. Many of their agents have made arrogant statements, bragging about the breadth of their influence in American affairs. If and when the majority of American people understand what has happened, there will be another mass exodus. Except this time, the only place they will be welcome is the bottomless pit.
"Kushner is kosher nostra…"
As it is, fewer than fourteen percent of the hooples reading your post have any idea what that means. But include the definite article, and you'll increase that number to forty three percent. Thus, La Kosher Nostra.
"Hand up the arse, working his mouth like a puppet."
That paints quite the mental picture. Kid must have a long arm.
"If and when the majority of American people understand what has happened, there will be another mass exodus."
Pthhhhhhht. Fat chance that ever happening. We're too busy getting nose jobs and snorting oxycodone. And have you seen the new iPhones? Forgedddabouwwdit.
Whadiya torking abou'?
I know a fella, he say's…
la stessa cosa
… it's all the same thing.
"But include the definite article, and you'll increase that number to forty three percent."
You raise a good point. Here it is from Wikipedia, of all places: Kosher Nostra
"It has been referred to variously in media and popular culture as the Jewish mob, Jewish Mafia, Kosher Mafia, Kosher Nostra, or Undzer Shtik. "
"That paints quite the mental picture. Kid must have a long arm."
I was feeling a little creative, I guess. Although the kid controls 'the' hand, surely he will not be getting his own hands dirty. Ohhh no…I assume you've watched the Addam's Family movies, right? You know that hand?? Kushner uses Goëtia, to command the disembodied hand of a Goyim to do his dirty work, of course! How's that for a mental picture…
"Pthhhhhhht. Fat chance that ever happening…" You're right, what was I thinking…I couldn't even tell you what the newest iPhone is. I'm still using my antiquated iPhone 5.
"Although the kid controls 'the' hand, surely he will not be getting his own hands dirty."
Which begs the question… what's in his wallet. Or, more appropriately to this unpleasant turn of conversation — who's got their hand up his ass.
"Kushner uses Goëtia, to command the disembodied hand…"
Isn't that where they create a gollum or homonkulus little dude out of various muds and bodily refuse and such? [Plus electricity, plus blood and, well, you get the idea...]
Why not send the whole little gremlin up there to do the dirty work. Why, he could even bring a chair and camp out like he owns the place.
"I'm still using my antiquated iPhone 5."
Pthhhhhht. Got me an antique flip phone. I only turn it on sometimes. Never did own a smartphone and never will — probably not even when they make it compulsory under the law.
Not to worry though… KID ROCK and SARAH PALIN have just descended upon the White House. All is well here in Murikkee!!!
"Which begs the question… what's in his wallet"
I heard, he used the same demon magic to invite the essence of Shabbatai Zevi to share his body.
"Isn't that where they create a gollum…Why not send the whole little gremlin up there.."
Creating a gollum is advanced Goëtia and can take years. He's working on one and will send it to replace the hand, when he's finished. But for now, he commanded a lesser demon to possess the disembodied hand of a goyim, specifically for the task of working the turnip's mouth. Apparently, when the turnip goes to bed, this hand can be seen scurrying around in the WH rose garden..
"Pthhhhhht. Got me an antique flip phone"
That's awesome. My phone is only turned on sometimes, too. Although, my iPad is my "emerald tablet", with over 10,000 pages of notes on it…
"KID ROCK and SARAH PALIN have just descended upon the White House"
Well thank goodness. I can rest assured, now that there's nothing to worry about.
I said this on David Ickes Official Forum before the election. You votes help pick one of the runners that they chose to be president.
Israel is the lost tribes which if you search you will find they are America , Europe and Australia ( White A positive blood types ) . Ephraim and Manasseh was given the name Israel in Genesis chapters 48-49 . Ephraim was handed the kingship over 10 of the 13 tribes mentioned in Genesis 48 . Solomon messed up marrying women of other nations of the world . He had 300 conubins and 300 wives . The reason GOD told the children of Jacob Israel not to marry outside of their nations linage was because they would lead them into idol worship . Solomon did just that . God left Solomon 3 of the 13 tribes . They are Judea , Levite and Benjamin . Ephraim got the rest of the tribes . Thy fought each other . GOD allowed Babylon to take them over . Ehpraim and his fellow tribes was removed to Europe . From Europe they ventured to America and Australia . Judea is now back in the land of Israel . The NWO Zionist are not Israel or Judea . It is the Vatican , natzi , luciferian church . In Revelation the prophet tells that they are the ones that altered the truth leading kings and nations astray . They are the religion that alters men's hearts . They are the ones that the Bible says is the ones that say they are Jews but are not . It's a liberal lie ! They turn the table like they did on Trump saying Russia help him in the election . . When in actually Hillary and O nut case sold American Urainium to Russia . Are you kidding me ??? They should have been tried and shot for treason . But these basterards turned the table on the election was rigged . Did not Trump say that before the elections . The very same words . But I say video of people grabbing wrote in votes and casting them into Hillary's box . We in Virginia also gad an idiot that voted 19 times with dead peoples votes . Illegals even voted . But how the hell did Russia alter the election when before the vote the Liberal said there was no way possible anyone could alter the votes . Here we go with backwards masking ( satanism ) . I dare anyone to fully trace the NWO and you will find the road leads to Rome . It is not Israel ( the lost 10 tribes ) or Judea the other 3 tribes . Here we go again with backwards masking . Liberals are liers , thieves and murders . Trace almost every liberal and you will find over 90% are what I say they are . Anyone trying to please GOD will not be a liberal !!! Why ? Because GOD hates liberalism . HE said either you will be hot ( on fire for GOD ) or cold ( into sin that GOD hates ) . Why does HE hate sin ? Because it will lead everyone that follows the road to the devil who will lead you to death . The Devil hates Mankind . He is Jealous because GOD made us greater thn him . The devil only has a body and spirit we have a body , soul and spirit . We are made in GODs image . The devil or lucifer was made great in as a very high ranking angel but he was a servant , not a child of GOD as we are .
The vatican has YouTube services worshipping lucifer ( devil ) . They are not GODs called men ! They are descendants of Esau , Jacibs brother . GOD rejected Esau because of his evil heart . He is the only person that I recall as GOD saying HE hated Him . Malachi 1:1-4 . These are the Zionist , these are the NWO . They are holding hands with the UN , Muslims because Ishmael is their father . GOD rejected him also choosing Isaac , Jacobs dad . Esau married Ishmael's daughter . Today they are working together to rule the world. These are the ones the liberals kiss ass too . These are the ones that Trump is having so much trouble with . They are the ones that the presidents since Reagan have sold their souls too .
Candidates for high office are never really good because they are too very carefully controlled not to be good for the public. In fact we even get obviously bad candidates and pseudo-candidates who are controlled by no media support or publicity. These candidates are not even allowed to debate or express their positions by this control. The only candidates readily available are good for the NWO slave masters. This truth is never made clear to the public.
Thus any votes for support of the public or humanity, will never ever matter, or count. War is always the money-making and death-dealing agenda. The election is rigged by having only two candidates to choose from that in truth do not support the public, ever. Contrary to their common claims, they are always bought and paid for by the controllers of mankind, whatever they are called. The public will always be human resources to the controllers of humanity. The controllers are the adversaries of humanity, and include our elected authorities.

What makes you say that?
This article was published ten hours before yours was…
… did i miss something?
Details schmetails.
Reaper's on a roll today.
Earlier he claimed Adam and Eve were black:
"[T]his is the wakening of the Black race to take back this world from the white race which is a virus come unto this world for the have gotten fat and lazy….. and their time is over as the Black race is set to reclaim their world and their rightfully place in it as they ae the original inhabitants of this world…"
Yeah saw that.
Typical Socialist.
Hmm, how's that working out for Maduro?
Does he not understand that the those Talmud thumpers who profited from bringing Black Africans to America to be slaves, are the same communists who founded the NAACP, the Black Panthers and the fraudulent Black Lives Matter organization? All sponsored by juze. The whole point is divide and conquer. Does the Black racist not realize that a slave owner could purchase a White Irish slave for half the cost of a Black one?
Ignorant Black racist thug. If your Racist goals were achieved, you would soon realize that White people were never your problem. In Merika, when it comes to interracial violent crimes involving Blacks and Whites, you Blacks are the aggressor 80% of the time. Black on Black crime is a much greater problem than White on Black crime. The only difference is that the former cannot be exploited by the degenerate media as hate crimes.
For one thing, I couldnt get the voting buttons to work. And I really needed them to vote against what sounds to me like tag-team troll(s) working at changing the subject. Like all we needed to do was vote better. I expect a great deal of cog. disso. on this subject though. People just dont want to believe the sorry truth. We all wish it was not the truth!
You did a great article though! Thanks very much! It was active for days. And your truth level seems very good to me. If it did get stolen (which I did not see) it would only be a testament to your good work at spreading the story.
Oh, I found a second problem. The article comes up with the Millennium Reporter or the Reaper as the author. I checked 3 browsers and could not get the voting buttons to work anymore. Maybe Before Its news is having multiple problems??

The LM5117 is a synchronous buck controller intended for step-down regulator applications
from a high voltage or widely varying input supply. The control method is based upon current mode
control utilizing an emulated current ramp. Current mode control provides inherent line
feed-forward, cycle-by-cycle current limiting and ease of loop compensation. The use of an emulated
control ramp reduces noise sensitivity of the pulse-width modulation circuit, allowing reliable
control of very small duty cycles necessary in high input voltage applications.
The operating frequency is programmable from 50 kHz to 750 kHz. The LM5117 drives
external high-side and low-side NMOS power switches with adaptive dead-time control. A
user-selectable diode emulation mode enables discontinuous mode operation for improved efficiency
at light load conditions. A high voltage bias regulator that allows external bias supply further
improves efficiency. The LM5117's unique analog telemetry feature provides average output current
information. Additional features include thermal shutdown, frequency synchronization, hiccup mode
current limit, and adjustable line undervoltage lockout.

Hea: New Furniture Line from BG Norge
We love the new line of furniture from BG Norge, a Norwegian furniture company that has been around for more than 50 years. Hea is inspired by designs from 1960s and it is available in a few different colors. We especially like the line in turquoise. The subtle ring pattern adds a little bit of texture and makes this collection that much more unique.
The rolling hills of Innlandsskogen inspired the soft curves of the sofa and chairs. We also like the opening in the back through which you can see the patterned cushions. We came across Hea products on Alvorada blog.
Check out the full collection and more products from BG Norge on their website.

Garry Rayno's State House Dome: The new face of health careBy GARRY RAYNO
State House Bureau
September 14. 2013 11:22PM
The new face of health care is beginning to emerge from the corners of the Affordable Care Act, and New Hampshire had its glimpse the past two weeks.
First, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield revealed aspects of its Pathway program, developed for the health insurance marketplace, or exchange, and then Harvard-Pilgrim, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center and Elliot Health Systems rolled out their ElevateHealth plan.
The Pathway program is the backbone of the health plans Anthem will offer beginning Oct. 1 to those buying insurance through the state's electronic marketplace. Anthem is the only health insurer on the state's exchange, although Delta Dental is an approved dental insurer.
ElevateHealth will be available only to employers initially, but is expected to be available on the marketplace in 2015 for individuals. The plan is touted as promoting high-quality health care at a roughly 10 percent lower premium cost.
Anthem says the Pathway program will lower premiums by 25 percent from what individuals could have expected to pay for the additional benefits mandated for exchange policies and to absorb the state's high-risk pool of 3,000 individuals who have been denied private health insurance.
The Harvard-Dartmouth-Elliot project is what is called an Accountable Care Organization (ACO) - integrated health systems that coordinate patient care and chronic-disease management through a "patient-centered medical home" or primary care physician. Something like managed care on steroids.
The idea is to provide better care for less money, and the ACA provides significant up-front money to establish ACOs.
The Pathway program is not technically an ACO, but the concept is pretty much the same because Anthem decided which hospitals and affiliated physician practices and services would be in the network. Not included are some small rural hospitals, the state's two for-profit hospitals in Portsmouth and Derry, Concord Hospital, Southern NH Medical Center in Nashua and Frisbie Memorial Hospital in Rochester.
The Pathway network includes 16 of the state's 26 hospitals, as well as Lahey Clinics.
The Harvard-Dartmouth-Elliot group also includes Southern NH Medical Center, Cheshire Medical Center and New London Hospital.
Along with two new networks, the three managed care companies the state hired to run its managed care Medicaid program, which begins Dec. 1, have also established selective networks of hospitals and their affiliated practices.
All 26 hospitals have to be included in a least one of the three managed care networks.
Individuals buying health insurance through the marketplace will be on Anthem's narrower network, including the 3,000 people in the high-risk pool, as will current Anthem individual policyholders when their policies expire. Also included will be any employer purchasing insurance on the exchange, although small-business mandates will not go into effect until January 2015, so few if any are expected to use the exchanges.
The new, smaller network would not affect Anthem customers who receive health insurance from their employers or if they are on Medicaid or Medicare.
Harvard-Pilgrim business customers will be offered a choice between ElevateHealth and their current policy's broader network, with a 10 percent higher premium.
Combine the two business models and it is not difficult to see where coverage is headed: Fewer provider choices and cheaper premiums in the short-term.
Many people will have to change their primary care physician and hospital and travel farther for health care services. In return, the individual insurance market will have expanded benefits and a greater number of people with health insurance.
When Anthem announced its Pathway program two weeks ago, company officials cited a national survey showing that when offered a choice, consumers believe price is overwhelmingly more important than easy access to health services. We'll soon see whether that is true in the Granite State.
Much has been made in New Hampshire about the expansion of Medicaid eligibility that would add about 48,000 people to the program in return for $2.4 billion in federal money, but shifts in the private-payer system are going to be even more pronounced in the coming years. The Medicaid program is not going to change much at all, but private insurance is.
The new normal is going to be very different for many New Hampshire residents, just as it was when managed care was first introduced.

Medicaid Expansion: The moment everyone has been waiting for is almost here.
The Commission to Study the Expansion of Medicaid Eligibility this week begins discussions among its members on the recommendations for lawmakers.
To date, the commission has heard from state health and insurance officials, national experts, local experts, proponents and opponents, providers and social service advocates.
Now the commission, which has a 5-4 Democratic advantage in appointments, needs to begin to craft a recommendation that will garner the two Republican votes in the Senate needed to approve expansion.
One likely component is the state's Health Insurance Premium Payment program, which pays to continue private health insurance for low-income adults through Medicaid.
The program is small at the moment, but could grow rapidly if lawmakers decide to move forward with an expanded program to provide continued coverage to people who fall between 100 percent and 138 percent of the federal poverty level.
Another likely scenario is to use Medicaid funds to pay for qualifying adults to purchase insurance on the electronic marketplace, which means through Anthem, and then pay for the additional services included under Medicaid, such as transportation.
An alternative proposal to Medicaid expansion from Avik Roy, senior fellow at the Manhatten Institute and Forbes Magazine blogger, became a hot-button issue soon after he laid out the rough outline of a plan Tuesday before the commission.
Republicans called it an opportunity to reach a New Hampshire solution, while Democrats said it was more expensive and covered fewer people with reduced benefits.
Beginning Tuesday, the expansion committee members try to determine what goals they have for expansion, if that is what lawmakers ultimately decide to do.
The committee has a month to present its recommendations, at which time Gov. Maggie Hassan is likely to call a special session for lawmakers to decide whether the recommendation is acceptable.
Hassan and the Democrat-controlled House favors expansion of the current program to cover adults earning up to 138 percent of the federal poverty limit, while the Republican-controlled Senate refused to include expansion in the state's two-year operating budget and instead opted to establish the commission, which is where it stands.

New Bills: Last week, House members were able to begin filing requests to draft bills with Legislative Services.
The House filing period lasts through Sept. 29, although committee members studying bills have until December to file their requests, known as LSRs.
Senators can file LSRs between Sept. 30 and Oct. 25.
Usually, the second year of a Legislature's term-year term is more partisan, as both parties position themselves in regard to hot-button issues going into an election year.
The drafting requests range from the essential to the sublime, the earnest to the ridiculous.
We will know soon enough whether this year follows the usual route.
New Senate Communications Director: Tom Cronin is the Senate's new communications director, replacing Carole Alfano, who resigned to take a similar position at the New Hampshire Supreme Court.
Cronin has been the Senate's majority (Republican) caucus director since 2010.
He served on the Washington, D.C., staff of former U.S. Sen. John E. Sununu and was press secretary for Ovide Lamontagne's gubernatorial bid in 2012.
Cronin is a 2005 graduate of Saint Anselm College in Goffstown.

Rick Remender on optimism against all odds in sci-fi 'Low' at Image

"Low" is an upcoming science-fiction series from writer Rick Remender and artist Greg Tocchini. (Image Comics)Link

In the depths of "Low," Rick Remender is finding reason to be optimistic.
His new sci-fi series with artist Greg Tocchini, announced last week at Image Expo in San Francisco, takes readers into a far future where the expanding sun's radiation has sent humans to the bottom of the ocean, where they've long been waiting for the return of probes sent to search for other habitable worlds. But the series' "beating heart," he says, is the hopeful Stel, who sets out after a probe that has returned.
"Low" is one of three new series the writer of the cult favorite sci-fi series "Fear Agent" has running or ready to blast off at Image Comics: "Black Science," with artists Matteo Scalera and Dean White, is two issues in and follows Grant McKay and his Anarchist League of Scientists (and his children) on a trip through alternate dimensions that quickly went horribly wrong after their reality-crossing device, the Pillar, was sabotaged. The upcoming "Deadly Class," with Wes Craig and Lee Loughridge, is set at a high school for assassins in the Reagan era and draws on the 40-year-old, L.A. area-based writer's skater punk youth.
And he's made his mark at Marvel, where he memorably cut Frank Castle to pieces and had monsters stitch him back together as Franken-Castle in "Punisher" and took Steve Rogers on a reality-and-time-bending odyssey through Dimension Z in his current run on "Captain America." "Uncanny Avengers" is also an ongoing mission, and the "Winter Soldier: The Bitter March" limited series is coming up.
Remender discussed "Low" and his other Image books with Hero Complex backstage at Image Expo in a conversation that touched on startling childhood realizations, creator-owned versus licensed work, how spoiled he is with artists, writing from an optimistic perspective – and included some sincere, colorful language, including an unusual idiom about putting one's heart and soul into the work.
Hero Complex: In "Black Science," you've got a setup where you could be in a different reality every issue. But in "Low," you said on stage you might go 60 issues there in one well-developed world. What makes it creatively appealing to linger in the world of "Low"?
Rick Remender: Because it's real, because the threat isn't science fantasy, it's science fact. The sun will expand, and obviously I'm increasing the timeline on it and the rate of its expansion for the sake of fiction, but it's something that always captivated me on some level as a child.
I remember being 7 or 8 years old and finding out that the world will one day be consumed by the sun. I remember it was a total state of disbelief. It's almost like Santa's not real. It's like all these things, but more. It was like, "The sun will expand and eat the entire world?" And, "Yeah, that's what's gonna happen." And I remember thinking, "Jesus, what a … waste of time this all is, then. It's all futile. No matter what we build, no matter what we do, no matter what, the sun's gonna eat the world." And it's real.
After finishing "Last Days of American Crime" with Greg Tocchini, I was looking for our next project and this was something I'd been banging around. I was reading National Geographic, and it was talking about the timeline and the expectation of when this happens – and it's a long, long, long, long time before our star decides to go nutty and eat us up. It just got me thinking: That's a really good sort of ticking time bomb, and it's a real ticking time bomb. And it was interesting to me on a universal level as a child, so I was like, "That's home run material." That's all good stuff to build a story on.
I started from that point and I built it upward. It was nice. I remember being a kid and sort of exploring and kind of considering things like, "Well, how would we survive and what would we do? I guess we'll dig holes in the ground." So as I was developing I was like, "Well, man could move to the bottom of the ocean to escape the radiation while they're looking for a new planet. What if they were down there, and what if they had built a hundred cities but then no probe ever found an inhabitable world and there was no hope? And then tens of thousands of years pass and now there's just these two cities left and all of a sudden this one woman, who's this eternal optimist and holds hope and keeps hunting for probes, calls a probe home that finds an inhabitable world, but it crashes on the surface? And the surface is like no man's land. No human's been on the surface in tens of thousands of years, and what's up there is going to be a lot of fun."
But what really got me interested was the levels of the ocean and the different levels of radiation going down deeper and what you would find as they're traveling up to go to the surface. It's these two teams, one from each of the remaining cities, going to get the probe. They're at war….
It just kind of snapped in place. That's always a good sign, I think, with a high concept, that you're hitting something that might be a good read.
HC: We're introduced to Stel in the [Image preview book distributed at the event]. She's very much the optimist. Her husband says "a fiery death is coming to us all and everyone knows it," he's sort of trying to tamp her down a little bit and …
RR: She won't have it.
I remember reading something about some physicist and a very common theory that matter doesn't take shape until a living being looks at it. And this is something that is being very seriously considered as fact. … And I was like, "Ah, that's nonsense." But the more I read about it, they really believe this is real and that matter can exist in two places at once and that the universe is a hologram – and you're just like, "Well … all bets are off, I don't know what reality is at all."
And so why not have somebody who has such faith in your mind's optimism, and that reality is our own projection, and that we're all creating it around ourselves, and that life is reality, and that we make reality with our minds, and that having an optimistic appraisal, even in a completely hopeless situation, is the only way through it? As I developed the optimist angle and built on that, it really became the beating heart and Stel became the beating heart. And I've never written from an optimistic perspective. I'm in therapy right now, dealing with depression. I realized this is a wonderful place to take what I'm learning and extrapolate what I like the best from it and associate with the character. So that's where Stel came from.
HC: To go back to world-building for a moment, I wondered if you could pick one of the two from the first two issues of "Black Science," the sea turtles with the ziggurat civilizations on their shells or the Columbus-never-gets-to-America, just pick one of those realities and talk about what surprised you in the development, or where the seed was.
RR: One of them is complete fantasy, alien-world nuttiness where there are no continents on Earth, and Earth is a water-based planet and electrical storms are charging everything and life evolves on the back of these giant tortoises who just float throughout and they basically just become the continents. Then on these giant alien sea tortoises, there are two civilizations of what I just called the fish people and the frog people, and one eats the other [laughs] — which is normal in such environments. They are at constant odds. Then you just kind of figure out how this world works. There's a scene in there where frogs are harvesting lightning that you see being caught from the Mayan temples above and that they're also catching the fish people which are hanging flayed all around it. So they eat electrical goo as well as fish. You just kind of let the imagination go to what's going to be visual and interesting. From there, I sort of dropped Grant into this world, and then I cut the first 18 pages of the Pillar arriving and the team arguing and Grant lying… I just cut it. It just didn't happen. I opened with him and Jen, his assistant, running through this crazy place as he was introduced to all these things. … It's a really fun way to unravel a world.
The next one is just a really big "what if" story. What if the Native Americans were technologically superior and what if it was like inverse Manifest Destiny?
HC: "Black Science" and "Deadly Class" come after a period of, what, maybe a couple of years where you were pretty much doing Marvel stuff – and taking characters to some fantastic and unusual places [Remender laughs]. Certainly "Deadly Class" you've talked about being personal, taking music and culture from your youth; and Grant's concerns in "Black Science," they jumped off the page as maybe being personal – not all of them …
RR: Hopefully, or else my wife's going to be bummed.
HC: Did you feel an urge to go to more personal stuff in creator-owned material? Can you talk about the relationship between the licensed and the creator-owned work?
RR: In my youth, I was stridently DIY punk rock and against the Man, and then I had a family and I had kids and I have a wife and I have other relatives that rely on me for financial support. Marvel comic books supported me and gave me work.
There's the kid in me who can shake his fist and go, "… man, do it all yourself." And then there's the adult in me who was supported by Marvel Comics and had my bills paid and was allowed to work with guys like Axel Alonso and Stephen Wacker and Tom Brevoort and Jody LeHeup and Sebastian Girner, who is now my editor on my creator-owned books, to hone my craft and really learn the ropes. I got better at Marvel – I got much better at Marvel.
But it's not mine. And I would dump my ass into something like Venom and realize, "Man, I just put some of my ass into that character, and I don't get that ass back." And you have to dump your ass into it. Your name's on it. You're writing it. Somebody's paying money to read it. It better be … gripping. It better be true. It better have something to say, or else you're just wasting my time. It's a double-edged sword. It's been real wonderful, I've learned a lot. … I'm no longer of the mind that it can't be both things, and that one doesn't need the other.
Because my career was built at Marvel after doing 10 years of creator-owned work that nobody gave … about, after a decade of doing 23 graphic novels' worth of creator-owned material that I wrote and drew that just nobody – it just didn't find its audience, from "Fear Agent" to "Strange Girl" to "Night Mary" to "Doll and Creature" to "Black Heart Billy," just year after year after year of grinding that … out, it was doing the work at Marvel built my name up. That's just the reality of it, it worked that way. I like doing both for different reasons.
I think I'm going to start to, in terms of what I divide up, I think that the very sort of personal stuff is going to go in the creator-owned, and the big bombastic, fun, out-of-this-world superhero stuff has got a home at Marvel. I feel very fortunate that I have both of those opportunities.
HC: If you could just talk a little about the three art teams you have on your Image titles – Scalera and White on "Black Science," Tocchini on "Low," Wes Craig on "Deadly Class."
RR: With "Deadly Class," with Wes Craig and Lee Loughridge – and I've worked with Lee before on books like "XXXombies" and "Fear Agent," and he's one of my best friends in the world – you've got what I think is sort of a strange mixture of Frank Miller and Adrian Tomine. It's like "Optic Nerve" meets "Ronin." It's "Year One" dabbled in Clowes' "Like a Velvet Glove Cast in Iron." It's a lot of disparate things that are working very well together. It was a lot of risk-taking in the development of that book, and a lot of personal stuff went into it. But I just couldn't be prouder of what Wes and Lee have done. It is high art. I don't say that lightly, and it's not just promotion. If it was somebody else's book, I would just be jealous as … I would be like, "Well, that is … amazing." Because it is. Because Wes is so good. He's such an amazing storyteller, such an amazing designer. I'll write him a 10-panel page and it'll come back 15 panels, and every beat plays a role and it moves like a film – that first issue and the second. He just keeps doing it. It gets better and better. And Lee's coloring – he's using just pure, flat colors on it, with no grads, no funky effects, it's just such a breath of fresh air.
I've got two of the very best colorists. I've got Dean White, who is a painter who just dumps his … ass all over that page and just works himself to death, and then you've got Lee who does it as well but in sort of a Mignola minimalistic way. Lee was one of the pioneers of flat color and doing it that way 15 years ago….
And obviously Matteo Scalera is one of the most dynamic, exciting storytellers in comic books, as well as just one of the most amazing illustrators. And you mix that with the painterly effect of Dean White, and what comes out of it is equally European and American. It's just this wonderfully strange black-light poster. Every new world we go to is a chance for these two genius artists to develop new. … And that's a dream job. That thing just writes itself. There's not a flaw I can think of with Wes or Matteo or Tocchini.
He's Greg Tocchini. If you've seen "Last Days of American Crime," the book we did together, he spent about two and a half years painting that. It's just a testament. It is just a … work of love. He is just amazing. He is not only a great storyteller, he is a next-generation draftsman and designer. When you see what he's doing in "Low," when we start revealing some of these designs, it's game-changing. It really is. It's just a treat.
Between that and getting to work with guys like [Daniel] Acuna and [Steve] McNiven and [Carlos] Pacheco over at Marvel, I'm a spoiled … with art.

Words by Mr Peter Henderson
When I post on my Twitter account that I am about to interview the actor Mr Allen Leech - widely known to audiences as Tom Branson, the chauffeur in the hit TV series Downton Abbey, who ends the second series eloping with one of the ladies of the manor - the reactions range from swooning to downright jealousy. While the award-winning historical drama has attracted a cult following on both sides of the Atlantic, it seems that Mr Leech, 31, has become something of a heart-throb in female circles. If he is aware of this fact, though, it is something that he wears lightly when I meet him at the East London townhouse where the MR PORTER shoot is taking place. Classically handsome and with an easy-going manner, Mr Leech is bemused when I ask him if he has heard of a website called "F**k Yeah Allen Leech", on which die-hard Downton fans have posted hundreds of stills of Branson, many lovingly annotated with his lines from the show ("I promise to devote every waking minute to your happiness").
Although Mr Leech, who was born in Killiney in Ireland and studied acting at Trinity College in Dublin, has appeared in two other historical dramas (HBO's Rome in 2007 and Showtime's The Tudors in 2010), he has a diverse set of films, TV shows and theatre productions under his belt. In the upcoming thriller The Sweeney he plays Simon Ellis, a member of a brutal-but-effective elite police squad - a world apart from the fanciful costumes and cut-glass accents of Downton. Meanwhile, Mr Leech describes the time he spent last year starring in Mr Mike Leigh's West End production Ecstasy as "One of the most enjoyable experiences I have had professionally", and he has another film releasing soon. Titled In Fear, it is a tense psychological horror flick produced for Film4 and StudioCanal.

After the less-than-encouraging analysis of my AncestryDNA matches to see what percentage of my matches also match my parents (only 69%), I took a look at MyHeritage. These are matches obtained by uploading our raw test data from the AncestryDNA tests to theMyHeritage website (currently a free process), rather than by taking MyHeritage's native tests, so results may be impacted by that. MyHeritage is also a newer entrant to DNA testing/matching.
Suffice to say, MyHeritage currently makes AncestryDNA's match processing look good.
I have 97 matches at MyHeritage (excluding parents and great-uncle), so a much smaller sample size than AncestryDNA. It's just as well, as MyHeritage doesn't currently have any tools for working with or analysing your matches (and there aren't any external tools for this either as far as I know), so you have to look at each match manually and record the necessary details to do any analysis.
4 of my matches, or 4%, also match my Mum.
Another 4 of my matches, or 4%, also match my Dad.
So that's a 92% rate for false positives for me and/or false negatives on my parents.
Of the 4 maternal matches, MyHeritage reports me as having more (generally around double!) shared cMs with that match than my Mum does for 3 of them. The paternal matches were a bit more plausible, only one of those showed me as having more shared cMs than my Dad did.
Side note - there's no ability to search matches by birthplaces in their tree at MyHeritage, so no easy way to locate any Wing descendants yet.
[UPDATE Jan 2018: MyHeritage rolled out a new matching algorithm in January 2018. I now have 1476 matches in total, with 590 or 40% shared with my Mum, 452 or 31% shared with my Dad, and therefore 434 or 29% false postives/negatives. This is much more in line with the match percentages I obtained from AncestryDNA. Well done, MyHeritage, the new algorithm looks much more feasible].

Imprecise Science Part 1: AncestryDNA
- 4,470, or 31%, are not shared with either parent
- 4,528, or 31%, are shared with my dad (which represents 44% of his matches)
- 5,547, or 38%, are shared with my mum (which represents 34% of her matches)
Here are my personal matches, broken down by the cM total length:
Those 3 matches of 50cM or more are my parents plus my grandmother's brother.
See that wee outlier? I have a 25 cM match that on the face of it doesn't look like a real match. I've done some digging into this one – her kit is administered by her daughter, and the daughter IS a match to both me and my father. The daughter and my Dad have a 17cM match, yet I match to the daughter at 18cM (it's over 2 segments, not 1 as my Dad's match is) and the mum at 25cM! I'm still trying to get my head around that.

Inbox Zero
Inbox Zero, that blissful state in which your inbox is empty because all the incoming emails have been dealt with, filed or deleted.
You know what's not so blissful? When you inadvertently achieve Inbox Zero because something has gone horribly awry in your email account and the emails are simply not there anymore at all. Specifically, in this case, the archive of many years' worth of emails and information from others with ancestors from Wing.
I should hopefully be able to restore the vast majority of those from an offsite backup. Hopefully. Just keep breathing...
UPDATE: it turns out that no, you cannot open an offsite backup of an .ost file. Insert bad word here. :(

In sickness and in health
I have a new section up on the website that focuses on health - or, as is generally the case, the lack thereof. Head over to learn about Charlotte Cottage, smallpox, typhoid, accidents, mental health issues and the like.
As I mention on the introductory page it's a bit challenging to gather global information, however anecdotes from your own Wing families are very welcome. If you have someone in your tree with a particular health issue, who had an newsworthy accident, or who died from something out of the ordinary, please email me and let me know.

FYNES, GASKINs and some sights to see
Boy, it's been a long time since I told you what I was up to. I have been adding little bits to the website here and there, like some gravestones for the FYNES and GASKIN families. The biggest addition lately has been a timeline showing images of All Saints Church through the ages - well, through the comparatively recent postcard age of 1902 onwards! Check it out and let me know what you think. I'll have some further postcards to add to it in a few week's time.
I do have a tendency to get stuck thinking about projects rather than just getting stuck in to them, so I also reorganised my one-place study to-do lists - including consolidating them into a single list. This might sound a little like the opposite of getting stuck in, but I'm hoping the list will take the decision-making out of the equation. All I have to do is just slowly work my way through the extremely long list, completing each project and bringing all that lovely new information to you on the website. Wish me luck!

PEASE please!
In the course of looking at the PEASE men that served in WW1 it all gets a bit confusing. Perhaps you have a snippet of info that might help?
There is a William George T Pease, son of George, born on 25 August 1885 (assuming I have the correct WW1 record matched to the correct man). Can anyone confirm this birthdate, and does anyone know what the T stands for?
There is also a William son of James, also born in 1885. Does anyone have an exact birthdate for him?

The TLV2262 and TLV2264 are dual and quad low voltage operational amplifiers from Texas Instruments. Both devices exhibit rail-to-rail output performance for increased dynamic range in single or split supply applications. The TLV226x family offers a compromise between the micropower TLV225x and the ac performance of the TLC227x. It has low supply current for battery-powered applications, while still having adequate ac performance for applications that demand it. This family is fully characterized at 3 V and 5 V and is optimized for low-voltage applications. The noise performance has been dramatically improved over previous generations of CMOS amplifiers. Figure 1 depicts the low level of noise voltage for this CMOS amplifier, which has only 200 µA (typ) of supply current per amplifier.
The TLV226x, exhibiting high input impedance and low noise, are excellent for small-signal conditioning for high-impedance sources, such as piezoelectric transducers. Because of the micropower dissipation levels combined with 3-V operation, these devices work well in hand-held monitoring and remote-sensing applications. In addition, the rail-to-rail output feature with single or split supplies makes this family a great choice when interfacing with analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). For precision applications, the TLV226xA family is available and has a maximum input offset voltage of 950 µV.
The TLV2262/4 also makes great upgrades to the TLV2332/4 in standard designs. They offer increased output dynamic range, lower noise voltage and lower input offset voltage. This enhanced feature set allows them to be used in a wider range of applications. For applications that require higher output drive and wider input voltage range, see the TLV2432 and TLV2442 devices. If your design requires single amplifiers, please see the TLV2211/21/31 family. These devices are single rail-to-rail operational amplifiers in the SOT-23 package. Their small size and low power consumption, make them ideal for high density, battery-powered equipment.
