Divine fish appears with message for mankind
by J.F. Chénier
Chennai, India In what is believed to be his tenth incarnation, Lord Vishnu “the Preserver” appeared to 87 year old Sag Aloo, a fisherman from the state of Tamil Nadu in India, as a 0.73 kg (1.6 pound) red snapper.
Sag had just pulled in his nets after a long day without a single catch, and was despondently rowing back to shore, when he heard a loud thud behind him. “When I turned around, I saw that a fish had leapt into the boat. He was a good size and very meaty - definitely a fryer.”
It was then that the fish spoke, announcing that he was the Lord Vishnu, and had an important message for mankind. At first, Sag was skeptical, “After all, it is not every day that you meet the Lord Vishnu – Ganesha or Hanuman, sure thing, but Lord Vishnu? It all seemed very fishy to me.”
A discussion ensued, and eventually Sag was convinced. “He just knew too many things that only Vishnu would know.”
Sag, who had received a cell phone for his last birthday, immediately called his family on shore so they could prepare for Vishnu’s arrival. “My wife is very, very devout, and was tremendously excited – and my grandson, who has been wanting a pet, asked if we could keep him.” Looking to the horizon, and choked with emotion, Sag added, “Everyone was so very happy.”
When his call ended, Sag turned back to find that Lord Vishnu, who had been making an “annoying throat clearing noise” just a few moments before, was dead. Sag was despondent – and then a miracle happened. The image of Buddha appeared in the dead fish’s eye.
“There is no question the fish was Lord Vishnu,” says Professor Nehru of Chennai Community College. “The image was very clear, and any semi-literate person would have immediately realized that there was nothing unusual about Vishnu coming to Earth as a fish. In his first incarnation, Lord Vishnu was the fish Matsya, and warned of an impending flood. Unfortunately, the message he wished to share this time will forever remain a mystery.”
Thanks to the miracle image, Lord Vishnu brought a very good price at the Kottivakkam market, and was, according to the purchaser (who asked to remain anonymous), “a bit tough, but really quite tasty.”

Pretty dark isn't it?
This is the world of Call of Duty Black Ops III. A world where some humans are considered more machine than flesh and blood. The story of this game was fantastic. While we don't see any recurring characters like in Treyarchs other COD games there is mention of BO2s main antagonist Raul Menendez. Also (spoiler) the Nova 6 gas from BO1 is back. Now in the past 2 years COD has been pretty shitty. Ghosts was terrible as was the story and Advanced warfare wasn't great either imo. Treyvarch does not disappoint as usual. I would give this game a 9/10. My reason it doesn't get a 10/10 is unlike WaW, BO1 and BO2 you don't go to a lot of locations. The game is centered around a few locations and some weird dream land where you fight in Bastogne and do some other shit. I'm not going to spoil the game since it's pretty damn fun.
Also just an update. The lack of posts is due to working on a few projects and being busy.
Cheers guys!

IHS - Jesus Saviour of Mankind - c1850's
Derived from the Latin "Iesus Hominum Salvator" with several suggested meanings and interpretations in Christian history.
These old gravestones from the mid 1800's were found in Southampton Old Cemetery.
"More than any other time in history, mankind faces a crossroads. One path leads to despair and utter hopelessness. The other, to total extinction. Let us pray we have the wisdom to choose correctly."
–from Woody Allen's book Side Effects (1980), "My Speech to the Graduates", part of an anthology of 17 comical essays published in various news periodicals.
Poultry: Weak. Unintelligent. Delicious. But no more. Mankind's only remaining food source has been converted to the ultimate weapon against the evil alien overlords.
Once known as a flightless bird, Mega Chicken now owns the skies with its enhanced flight capabilities made from technology so cool, its wings are literally made out of swords.
With powerful exo-armor permanently grafted into Mega Chicken's flesh and our most cutting edge cyberpathic neural programming, Mega Chicken's reflexes are faster than a lightning bolt and its intuition is borderline precognitive. Avoid any further thermonuclear skirmishes by eliminating the alien threat before they even see it coming.
Our most versatile combat system yet, Mega Chicken supports different activity modes to adapt to any situation and instantly improvise to any changing factor.
Attack mode for targeting and engaging multiple targets on land and in the air.
Stealth mode allows zero detection for reconnaissance missions too dangerous or too precise for any other pilot or drone.
Grazing mode to refuel and reload.
Have the strength and firepower of an entire fleet of airships in a single combatant—and with an entire fleet of Mega Chickens in Earth's airspace, the rate of success can be only exponential, guaranteed.
The choice is clear. Donate your stock of poultry to an augmentation farm in your nearest quadrant and receive a hypersleep kit and that will grant you and your family access to the subterranean hibernation fields. You will be re-awoken to find our planet reclaimed and will live out your remaining days in a more peaceful age.
(Happy Easter!)

Introduction
Walking through the ages with God, who's known that God rules all things, the fate of all living beings, orchestrating, guiding everything? This has eluded human minds not because God's ways are vague or His plan hasn't been realized. For man's heart and spirit are far from God. Even as they follow God, though they may not see, they are still in service to Satan. No one seeks out God's footsteps or His appearance. None desire His care and watch of them. But they're willing to depend on the evil one to adapt to this world and its creeds. And man's heart and spirit fall into Satan's hands, and become the food on which it feeds. They become the food on which it feeds⋯⋯

Gaston Planté
In 1859, the French physician Gaston Planté invented the first rechargeable battery. It was based on lead and acid, a system that is still used today. In 1899, Waldmar Jungner from Sweden invented the nickel-cadmium battery (NiCd), which used nickel for the positive electrode and cadmium for the negative.
He therefore turned to mankind only with regret. His cathedral was enough for him. It was peopled with marble figures of kings, saints and bishops who at least did not laugh in his face and looked at him with only tranquillity and benevolence. The other statues, those of monsters and demons, had no hatred for him – he resembled them too closely for that. It was rather the rest of mankind that they jeered at. The saints were his friends and blessed him; the monsters were his friends and kept watch over him. He would sometimes spend whole hours crouched before one of the statues in solitary conversation with it. If anyone came upon him then he would run away like a lover surprised during a serenade. from Victor Hugo's "The Hunchback of Notre-Dame"]

Guardare M33 è come affacciarsi su un altro tempo. La luce che raggiunge adesso il sensore della mia camera ha viaggiato per circa 2,7 milioni di anni: è partita quando Homo sapiens non esisteva e il nostro genere era appena agli albori, con le prime forme di Homo che stavano iniziando a comparire sulla Terra. È un pensiero vertiginoso: stiamo osservando stelle e nebulose così come erano quando la storia umana stava solo cominciando a immaginarsi.
Eppure, da Padova, con appena un’ora e mezza di esposizione, questa galassia lontana ci mostra singole stelle, regioni di formazione stellare e bracci spiraliformi che si avvolgono lentamente, quasi indicandoci la strada per svelare un segreto custodito da milioni di anni. Quali domande ci pone il cosmo? Quali misteri rimangono ancora sepolti nella profondità del cielo?
Dettagli tecnici:
M33 (galassia del Triangolo) è una spirale del nostro Gruppo Locale, distante circa 2,7 milioni di anni-luce, seconda per dimensioni solo a M31 dopo la Via Lattea. Ospita gigantesche regioni H II come NGC 604, tra le più vaste note, e un ricco intreccio di bracci stellari. Foto realizzata con SkyWatcher 200/1000, integrazione totale ≈ 90 minuti.

«O wonder! How beauteous mankind is! O brave new world that has such people in it!»
(William Shakespeare, La tempesta, Atto V, Scena I, vv. 203–206 [1])
I had forgotten this day.
A shot of several years ago in Perugia.
At the end of the escalator that leads to Piazza Italia, in front of the Carducci gardens, a music invades the air, like a light wind that carries thoughts without overturning them.
I could not understand the origin of the piano, there were no stages, no clues of any kind about it. In front of me there was only the Prefecture building with its numerous imposing closed gates.
Some people were turned to a gate, hands resting on the railings, as if visiting a prisoner.
I approach and, to my surprise, I notice a little girl, slim, sitting in front of a piano, open only enough to see the keys and score, in what looks like a corner used as a garage. Stacked chairs, a parked scooter, an ice cream now consumed in the corner, a bag in the chair, a white shirt resting and a notepad ....
I do not remember what song it was, certainly not what I put in the background, but I think it fits very well with the idea I wanted to convey.
It was not easy to take a picture, I put the lens between the bars and made a bit of attempts, I think this makes the idea enough,,,,
Thanks for stopping by, have a lovely Sunday all : )

The instincts of mankind have not changed.
Man still relies on his eyes to see, on his ears to hear,

all the instincts God bestowed upon man to gain His provision remain unchanged.
Mankind’s faculties have not changed, through which he cooperates with God
and fulfills the duty of a created being.
His spiritual needs have not changed;

The yearning of mankind to be saved by the Creator has not changed.
This is the situation of mankind, who lives under God’s authority,
and who has endured the bloody destruction wrought by Satan.

Introduction
Only the Creator Takes Pity on This Mankind
Only the Creator shares with mankind an unbroken bond of mercy and love.
Only He cherishes all of His creation, all of His creation.
His every thought, always for the good of mankind.
His every emotion is intertwined with their existence.
The expression of what He is and has is all for mankind.
It’s all for the sake of mankind.
Deep within His heart, all of man’s actions He feels.
Man’s transgressions awaken His just wrath and sorrow.
But man’s repentance makes Him forgive, man’s repentance makes Him delight.
He’s rushing around always, He’s everywhere at all times.
His every emotion, He dedicates—every second of His life,
and He’s offering every bit of His life without a word.
It’s all for the sake of mankind.
He knows not how to pity His own life, but cherishes mankind.
With His hands He’s fashioned this miracle of mankind.
Compassion and tolerance He bestows, without condition or thought of reward,
that mankind may live on under His gaze,
that one day, they may submit and grant that He is the One who nourishes man,
and grant that He is the One. Ah ...
He supplies the life of creation, life of all creation, life of all creation.
His every thought, always, for the good of mankind.
His every emotion is intertwined with their existence.
The expression of what He is and has is all for mankind.
It’s all for the sake of mankind. It’s all for the sake of mankind.

@UN Climate Conference (COP23):
Mankind is at risk of losing all this and much more !
Some facts about global warming:
Global warming is the current increase in temperature of the Earth's surface (both land and water) as well as it's atmosphere. Average temperatures around the world have risen by 0.75°C (1.4°F) over the last 100 years about two thirds of this increase has occurred since 1975. In the past, when the Earth experienced increases in temperature it was the result of natural causes but today it is being caused by the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere produced by human activities.
The natural greenhouse effect maintains the Earth's temperature at a safe level making it possible for humans and many other lifeforms to exist. However, since the Industrial Revolution human activities have significantly enhanced the greenhouse effect causing the Earth's average temperature to rise by almost 1°C. This is creating the global warming we see today. To put this increase in perspective it is important to understand that during the last ice age, a period of massive climate change, the average temperature change around the globe was only about 5°C.
Greenhouse gases are produced both naturally and through human activities. Unfortunately, greenhouse gases generated by human activities are being added to the atmosphere at a much faster rate than any natural process can remove them.
Global levels of greenhouse gases have increased dramatically since the dawn of the Industrial Revolution in the 1750s. Only a small group of human activities are causing the concentration of the main greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and fluorinated gases) to rise:
The majority of man-made carbon dioxide emissions is from the burning of fossil fuels such as coal and oil so that humans can power various vehicles, machinery, keep warm and create electricity. Other important sources come from land-use changes (ex: deforestation) and industry (ex: cement production).
Methane is created by humans during fossil fuel production and use, livestock and rice farming, as well as landfills.
Nitrous oxide emissions are mainly caused by the use of synthetic fertilizers for agriculture, fossil fuel combustion and livestock manure management.
Fluorinated gases are used mainly in refrigeration, cooling and manufacturing applications.
Global warming is harming the environment in several ways including:
Desertification
Drylands are already fragile. As they become degraded, the impact on people, livestock and environment can be devastating. Some 50 million people may be displaced within the next 10 years as a result of desertification.
The issue of desertification is not new though — it played a significant role in human history, contributing to the collapse of several large empires, and the displacement of local populations. But today, the pace of arable land degradation is estimated at 30 to 35 times the historical rate.
Increased melting of snow and ice
Perennial ice cover in the Arctic is melting at the rate of 11.5% per decade and the thickness of the Arctic ice has decreased by 48% since the 1960s.19 During the past 30 years, more than a million square miles of sea ice has vanished, an area equivalent to the size of Norway, Denmark and Sweden combined.20 The continent of Antarctica has been losing more than 100 cubic kilometers (24 cubic miles) of ice per year since 2002.21 Since 2010, the Antarctic ice melt rate has doubled.
Sea level rise
The Earth's sea level has risen by 21 cm (8 inches) since 1880.23 The rate of rise is accelerating and is now at a pace that has not been seen for at least 5000 years.24 Global warming has caused this by affecting the oceans in two ways: warmer average temperatures cause ocean waters to expand (thermal expansion) and the accelerated melting of ice and glaciers increase the amount of water in the oceans.
Stronger hurricanes and cyclones
ropical cyclone activity has seen an obvious upswing trend since the early 1970s.25 Interestingly, this matches directly with an observed rise in the oceans' temperature over the same period of time. Since then, the Power Dissipation Index which measures the destructive power of tropical cyclones has increased in the Pacific by 35% and in the Atlantic it has nearly doubled.26 Global warming also increases the frequency of strong cyclones. Every 1 degree C increase in sea surface temperature results in a 31% increase in the global frequency of category 4 and 5 storms.
Do we really want all that ?
