Voters will head to the polls later for the European Parliament elections. Tories and Labour expect rout! Seventy-three members, known as MEPs, will be elected in nine constituencies in England, and one each in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Each region has a different number of representatives based on its population - ranging from three MEPs in the North East and Northern Ireland to 10 MEPs in the South East. Results will not be announced until all EU nations have voted over the next three days - with the whole process completed by 22:00 BST on Sunday 26 May. Polling stations in the UK are open from 07:00 until 22:00 BST. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-48372665 |

In his own words: Ralph Northam: You know, I wasn’t there, Julie, and I certainly can’t speak for Delegate Tran, but I would tell you — one, the first thing I would say is this is why decisions such as this should be made by [healthcare] providers, physicians, and the mothers and fathers that are involved. There are — you know when we talk about third-trimester abortions, these are done with the consent of, obviously, the mother, with the consent of the physicians, more than one physician by the way. And it’s done in cases where there may be severe deformities, there may be a fetus that’s non-viable. So in this particular example, if a mother is in labor, I can tell you exactly what would happen. The infant would be delivered, the infant would be kept comfortable, the infant would be resuscitated if that’s what the mother and the family desired, and then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother. So I think this was really blown out of proportion |
| Christianity Etc › Re: Nurse Who Offered Bible To Cancer Patient Looses Dismissal Appeal by budaatum: 2:31am On May 23, 2019 |
Yes she should have been sacked! She was in breach of the rules of her profession! If she wanted to be a faith healer she shouldn't have been a nurse. Sarah Kuteh was given the sack from her job at Darent Valley Hospital in Dartford, Kent, in 2016 for repeatedly talking to patients about her faith and handing out a bible, in breach of Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) rules. The court documents also point to a number of other incidents, in which Ms Kuteh told a bowel cancer patient in April 2016 'that if he prayed to God he would have a better chance of survival'. Another complaint, again in April 2016, came from a patient who said Ms Kuteh 'spent more time talking about religion than doing the assessment', and another, the same month, came from a patient who said they didn't want to see Ms Koteh as they 'didn't like preaching'. By the way, all UK hospitals have chaplains who are available to anyone who needs one. They also have Imams and priests from other faiths too. |

She recused herself, as in excused herself from the case because of a perceived potential conflict of interest or lack of impartiality At the resumption of the Election Petition Tribunal sitting May 15, the tribunal asked the PDP and its candidate to formally file an application asking Justice Bulkachuwa to withdraw, which the party did on May 16. At the resumption of sitting today, the tribunal dismissed the application by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Nigeria’s main opposition party and its presidential candidate seeking to disqualify Justice Bulkachuwa from presiding over the five-man panel tribunal that is hearing petitions challenging the declaration that President Muhammadu Buhari won the February 23 presidential election. 1 Like |
| Foreign Affairs › Britain Inflate Orange 'Trump Baby' Blimp Ahead Of Visit by budaatum(op): 9:26pm On May 22, 2019 |
British protesters inflated a blimp depicting Donald Trump as a snarling, nappy-wearing orange baby on Wednesday, a trial run ahead of a planned flight during the U.S. president's state visit to Britain next month. The blimp greeted Trump when he visited Britain in 2018, in what he described as an attempt to make him feel unwelcome. The team behind the giant inflatable said they would let it fly again if a crowdfunding campaign can raise 30,000 pounds for groups backing causes from climate action to women's rights. At the invitation of Queen Elizabeth, President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump are due in Britain on June 3-5 for a state visit - a pomp-laden affair involving a carriage trip through London and a banquet at Buckingham Palace.

| Foreign Affairs › Ilhan Omar Breaks Ramadan Fast With Democrats In Congress by budaatum(op): 8:17pm On May 22, 2019 |
The breaking of the fast was the first to be organized by three Muslim members of Congress and be attended by party leadership The congressional Iftar marked a rare opportunity for the handful of Muslim members in Congress to open up about their faith and break fast in the holy month of Ramadan with their colleagues on Capitol Hill at a time when they are routinely vilified on the right. Since their arrival to the nation’s capital in January, Omar and Tlaib have been the subject of intense attacks from Donald Trump and Republicans over their criticism of US policy toward Israel. “It doesn’t matter what you do or what you say – if you’re a Muslim, it’s going to get exaggerated,” Carson told the crowd. The crowd assembled at the Iftar comprised Muslim congressional staffers, government officials and other community members. Speakers included the House majority leader, Steny Hoyer, Senate minority whip, Dick Durbin, and representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the progressive star and close friend of Omar’s and Tlaib’s.

Babacele:Akhenaten only ruled for 17 years and didn't have enough time to institute much. He tried to shift his culture from Egypt's traditional religion, but the shifts were not widely accepted. After his death, his monuments were dismantled and hidden, his statues were destroyed, and his name excluded from the king lists. Traditional religious practice was gradually restored, and when some dozen years later rulers without clear rights of succession from the 18th Dynasty founded a new dynasty, they discredited Akhenaten and his immediate successors, referring to Akhenaten himself as "the enemy" or "that criminal" in archival records. He was all but lost from history until the discovery during the 19th century of the site of Akhetaten, the city he built and designed for the worship of Aten, at Amarna. Wiki Also, Aten, or Atum, (1991–1778 BC) as I know it, predates Akhenaten (1351–1336 BC) by about 600 years. I guess the point here is how we know what we know. Egypt itself suffered from what LoJ would have called 'hiding information'. The Egyptian priests considered their rites so holy that they did not initiate enough people to carry it on which resulted in them losing the ability to read their own hieroglyphs until it was deciphered in 1799 when Napoleon Bonaparte researchers found the Rosetta Stone which is a decree of Ptolemy V written in Greek, demotic and hieroglyphic writing. I guess I can't argue that Napoleon Bonaparte researchers were not GWBs. But the information we now have was mostly deciphered from ancient text, and not deliberately handed down by invisible messengers, except thankfully through the art of writing, and neither was it only influenced by Egypt but also by Mesopotamian civilization Period: 3500 BC–500 BC Original Location: Northeast by the Zagros mountains, southeast by the Arabian plateau Current Location: Iraq, Syria, and Turkey Indus Valley civilization Period: 3300 BC–1900 BC Original Location: Around the basin of the Indus river Current Location: Northeast Afghanistan to Pakistan and northwest India To name but two. And that's only according to what we know, which is a tiny fraction of what has actually happened, humans having been in existence for far longer (tens of thousands of years) than the earliest known civilisations (4000-6000 years at a stretch), who also contributed, and we are still mainly ignorant in the western world about ancient but not so distant China. Modern-day culture and civilization owes a lot to the earliest civilizations that emerged after millions of years of human evolution. Human civilization has come a long way from an age when there were no defined means of communication and hunting was the primary source of food. Gradually, agriculture took over from foraging, animals were domesticated, societies were created and developed, and eventually led to the societies that we live in today. Each individual civilization listed here contributed in many ways: new inventions, new ideas, new cultures, philosophies, lifestyles, etc. From the very cradle of civilization to the modern day, what we have become is a result of all civilizations that came before.source Rosicrucian (gwb again!) is about pulling all this knowledge together in one place and disseminating it to all that seek, but even they do not have all the wisdom knowledge that has existed or that exists. China, India, etc, have similar 'schools', which over time Rosicrucianism has incorporated into its teachings (Buddhism, Daosim, Hinduism, to name three). In the 60s, it was mainly Egypt that was their fashion, and in the 17th Century, it was mainly Christianity, though ancient Greece, Roman ideas always permeated through the years. Note this is all over the place! It's indicative of my own limited knowledge and ignorance. It's also what has made me a theist of the Christian Scripture. Mystically speaking, "God so loved the World" is the reason we have the Word. Alchemically speaking, it's not about believing the 'facts' but about transmuting our ignorance into that which is worthy with how we learn to be. |

Android just didn't live up to my Z30 experience running BB10. BB10 died when Whatsapp, FB and Twitter stopped supporting it, but I guess Huawei has alternatives to these sites and a larger market than RIM had for BB10.
