Roman Civilization – CMS 206 /History 206
During the monarchical period of Roman history, the king was responsible for the state’s public religious activity. According to Livy, when the Romans ejected the kings they created an priesthood called the rex sacrorum – “king of rites.” The holder of this priesthood would continue to perform the religious duties of the former monarchs, but was explicitly barred from holding any political office and from sitting in the Senate (so he couldn’t leverage his religious authority into political power and become a tyrant). Livy also suggests that the founders of the republic deliberately subordinated the religious authority of the rex sacrorum to that of the pontifex maximus to further guard against tyranny. Whether this was true, or whether the pontifex came gradually to replace the rex in authority, is one of the questions that can’t be answered (but scholars keep writing about). In any event, Roman religious affairs under the republic were conducted by a variety of priests organized by the kinds of rituals they performed. Unlike political offices, priesthoods tended to be lifelong appointments. Continue reading “Roman Public Religion”
The FBI has arrested a Mexican motorcycle gang who are accused of hacking and stealing over 150 Jeep Wranglers for spare parts in Southern California.
Hooligans Motorcycle Club, who are based in Tijuana, Mexico, “combined old school and modern hacking tactics to carry out the thefts undetected” in Southern California, which all “followed the same model,” according to Bleeping Computer.

Well, the below left image might look like a smartphone, cellphone, or square iPhone to some folks, but it is a .380 pistol. A casual observer might not readily identify it as a gun, but when unfolded with the safety off on the right above it looks like one. Yes, we have the Taurus Curve, the North American Arms (NAA) mini revolvers and miniature pocket pistols, and other very small, derringer-like, and disguisable handguns. But they all closely resemble a gun in some way and are not really that unique and novelty guns. They are fine small and concealable guns and I have reviewed the Taurus Curve .380 and the NAA Black Widow .22 Magnum guns, for example, previously on this website. But what about this new .380 pistol that resembles a cellphone or a smartphone when it’s folded? I contacted the Chief Executive Officer-Inventor of this Ideal Conceal Company‘s new carry gun, asked him some questions, and got some answers and information I want to share with you.

NORTH ATTLEBORO — The phrase came almost in jest from a new customer, Steve Copoulos said.
“Now that you’re back, I guess North runs on Mike’s,” he said.
Copoulos thought the phrase was funny and decided it would make for some good window art on the front of his new coffee and muffins shop, Mike’s Coffee, at the intersection of routes 1 and 1A in North Attleboro.

When it comes to websites, we have ever more sophisticated techniques at our disposal to block the ads that sometimes track our wanderings around the internet. But most of us spend much of our time these days in mobile apps that offer no transparency on how we’re being tracked or sold–nor tools for blocking that behavior.
We must rely on operating system makers–primarily Apple and Google–to promulgate guidelines to developers on legitimate practices when it comes to tracking behavior, asking for personal information, and transferring data to remote servers. OS makers are also responsible for enforcing those requirements. The rules in place are very broad, and except for abuses that can be quickly checked by in-house reviewers, come into play most often when users and researchers report violations.

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump signed a waiver Thursday delaying the move of the U.S. embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
“While President Donald J. Trump signed the waiver under the Jerusalem Embassy Act and delayed moving the U.S. Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, no one should consider this step to be in any way a retreat from the President’s strong support for Israel and for the United States-Israel alliance,” the White House said in a statement.

WEB Notes: Yes, strip down and submit to sexual body searches. But hey, this nation is so concerned about safety that they bring in records of refuges from middle eastern nations soaked in war, terrorism and death. We are so concerned about safety we invite illegal immigrants to our nation and provide them with free healthcare and living assistance. We are so concerned about our safety we even have sanctuary cities to protect these illegals and keep them safe. But you Mr. and Mrs. America, you have become serfs in your own nation. We cannot say we were not warned this would happen.

WASHINGTON – The United States’ future as a leader in international efforts to slow climate change teetered on the edge Wednesday, as reports emerged from the White House that President Donald Trump was preparing to announce he would withdraw the country from the Paris accord.
The development fanned a debate within the U.S. oil and gas industry over whether the country was unwisely sacrificing its leadership role on a global pact that threatens to reduce the consumption of fossil fuels for decades to come in favor of less carbon-intensive forms of energy. The debate has largely pitted major oil companies that do business around the world against smaller firms already struggling with low oil and gas prices and increased regulations – a split so sharp that the American Petroleum Institute, which represents a wide range of oil and gas companies, has not taken a position on the pact.

WEB Notes: Why on earth would any Christian be a part of this blasphemous church these days? They marry homosexuals, homosexuals serve as priests and now they are going to receive their own “ceremony”. This happened to ancient Israel as well. Those who are supposed to turn to God instead turn to themselves and they turn the flock to perversion. In ancient times Israel had “grove” worship. For an explanation on that read this past article. The people think this is okay, the people think it is fair and they embrace it. Is it any wonder why our Father said in Jeremiah 4:22 says,

It has been more than 60 days since Venezuela’s Supreme Court moved to dissolve the country’s National Assembly. The move, intended to eliminate a thorn in the side of embattled President Nicolas Maduro, was reversed after three days — but the political fallout has barreled into its third month, roiling city streets across the country.
In that time, the list of protesters’ demands — from the resumption of local elections to an end to the nationwide food shortage to even the ouster of Maduro — has grown. And the death toll has mounted. Continue reading “As Venezuela Enters 3rd Month Of Protests, Anti-Maduro Ire Finds New Target”
