Stay Safe, Stay Home Writing Challenge: (Prompt #16 – Call me if you need anything)

Genre: Romance

Pairing: Modern Ivar x OC

Fandom: Vikings

Warning: Language/mild angst

Rating: M

Summary: Can an online relationship work in the real world? Ivar and Cash are about to find out.

A/N: So this is my first challenge. What was supposed to be a one-shot has turned into a mini-series. I’m having so much fun writing it. I haven't written in about 10 years - my muses all went away when Dave Batista left WWE. Then one day, Alex Høgh Andersen showed up and all of my muses came back! I’m so happy!

Please, note if you notice grammatical errors in the dialogues between characters, it’s because I write how people speak. Any other errors may just be because I was careless...

Also, I’m writing the Lothbroks as Europeans speaking English. In my head, when they are together they are speaking Norweigan but when they speak English, it’s with their Vikings’ show accents.

Chapter 2

Chapter 1

What the fuck am I doing? No seriously, what the fuck was she doing?

Cash didn’t do things like this. Ever. She had literally seen every episode of MTV’s Catfish and 90 Day Fiance (the original show, Abroad, and After the 90 Days). She was responsible, respectable, intelligent, reasonably attractive and she had just landed a job where she actually got to use her degree. This side of 25 was looking up for her. She wasn’t desperate, was she?

She was going to feel so stupid when everyone rubbed it in her face that this “Ivar” guy didn’t really exist, or turned out to be something totally other than what he claimed. Although she had only told a handful of people about her trip, they had all filled her head with so much more angst that she almost canceled the trip four times in the last month. Her mom was convinced that Cash was going to be kidnapped and sold into an Eastern European sex trafficking ring. While her best friend just knew that Ivar was going to turn out to be a sadistic 65-year-old ex-KGB operative who hated Americans and only wanted to torture her like in that movie Hostel. Even her younger brother tried to email Nev & Max to see if MTV could do an episode of Catfish Abroad and put her on blast for all of his friends to see.

Cash let out a nervous breath as she looked around the Austrian Airlines terminal. Her flight to Vienna was due to start boarding in a little more than an hour and there were still a lot of empty seats.

She fidgeted in her chair trying to fish her phone out of her jacket pocket. What she needed was mood music – Billie Eilish, although played in heavy rotation lately, wasn’t cutting it. She needed mood music - something angrier... more upbeat. Remi Ma or Joyner Lucas? Why not both? She made a quick playlist, put it on shuffle, and bobbed her head to the music.

No sooner did she feel herself getting lost in the beat, did the music stop and the phone ring. With a slight eye roll, Cash answered the phone pleasantly, “Hey Ma.”

“Hey, honey. How you doing?” Barbara Heath spoke to her daughter in a voice reserved for someone that might have just suffered a loss or been seriously injured, “You okay?”

“Yeah, Ma. I’m fine.”

“You know, it’s not too late to come home, Shay.” Cash cringed at her mother’s nickname for her. All of her life, she had tried to get people to call her Cash, but her parents were still hell-bent on calling her Shay. “No one would blame you. I didn’t tell anyone you were going on your little excursion except your Aunt Margaret and Gigi. You know they don’t think this is a good idea, either. And you know your Daddy is still upset that you decided to go.”

“Ma, don’t.” She slouched in her seat and looked up at the airport ceiling. “When I finished grad school, I told you guys I wanted to travel more. Everyone was fine with it then. Now all of a sudden everyone is against me going…”

“We’re aren’t!” Barbara walked across the kitchen with her glass of wine and took a seat at the kitchen counter. She didn’t want to start another fight with her daughter, but she needed to Cash to understand how dangerous this could be. “I just don’t understand about this going across the world to meet some boy. There are plenty of those here.”

Oh my, God. “For the last time, I’m going to Vienna because I haven’t been back to Austria since undergrad. While I’m there I’m going to meet up with one of my friends, Ma.”

“Yeah, a friend you met on the internet.”

“Really? I’m about to get on a plane and I won’t see you for weeks, and you want to do this now? How about saying ‘Have a nice trip’ or ‘I’m proud of you for being so adventurous’ or something like that?” She tried not to raise her voice, but she could tell her frustration at her mother mixed with her own nerves about the situation was coming through on the phone.

Barbara sighed in defeat. “You got that stubbornness from your Daddy.” She was relieved when she heard her daughter chuckle. “You know, I’m proud of you. And I want you to have so much fun! This is going to be the best trip of your life. I just want you to be careful and know that I will worry about you. Let me know when you land, and when you get to your hotel, and when you meet this Ivar-boy.” She was going to make a point to stop babying her as soon as she came back from Europe. “Just know that I love you. Call me if you need anything. Me and your Daddy will be on the first flight to come get you and bring you…”

“I love you, too Mommy. I’ll call you when I land.”

When Cash hit the button to end the call, she noticed a WhatsApp notification on her phone. She hadn’t even heard the phone chime. She felt the smile slide across her face as she opened the app.

Ivar was the only person who ever contacted her on WhatsApp.

_______________________________________________________________

“Ahh, Ivar, you will be fine.” Ivar cut his blue eyes over to his brother driving the car. “You will have fun. You’ll see.”

He folded his arms over his chest, like a child, and returned his gaze out of the passenger’s window. “I am not a child, Bubbe. I do not a chaperone.” He really hated being the youngest. His brothers always acted like he was completely incapable of doing anything on his own.

“I know, brother.” Ubbe let out a soft chuckle and connected eyes with Hvitserk in the backseat through the rearview mirror, “Serk is not coming to chaperone. He is coming with you, to help you.”

“I do not need help, either.” Ivar was sick of this fight. He had been having it with his brothers for about a month now. He was perfectly capable of traveling by himself, without Hvitserk’s assistance. “And why Serk? He is the least responsible of us all.”

Hvitserk nodded in agreement from the backseat and smiled good-naturedly. He really didn’t give a shit what Ivar wanted to do. All he knew was Bjorn was footing the bill for his trip to Austria with Ivar and he wasn’t about to turn down a free vacation. Women, liquor, food, and a hotel suite...all he had to do was carry Ivar’s bags and help him through the airport? It sounded like a sweet deal to him.

Ubbe shook his brother’s shoulder, “C’mon, Ivy. I would come with you if I could. I have to work.” He peeked over at his brother’s face, noting his anger looked something more akin to nerves. “Besides, Serk will give you much more freedom than I would. Who knows, you might really like this girl when you meet her.”

“It is not like that.” Ivar said quietly, looking out of the window. He wanted to talk to Ubbe about Cash for some time now, but Ubbe was always so busy with work. Besides, he and Torvi had just had a baby. He clearly had more important things to think about than his little brother and his lack of experience with women. But, Ubbe was the kindest and most level headed person he knew. What he wouldn’t give for some of his big brother’s advice right now. “We are just friends.” Even if that’s not what he wanted, he was sure that’s all they would end up being.

“But there may come a time when you are not just friends.” Ubbe tried to hide his smirk as he noticed the blush start to creep up Ivar’s neck and settle on his earlobes. “What will you do then, hmm?”

“He will fuck her!” Hvitserk clapped Ivar on the shoulders and laughed.

How far ways was this damn airport? If Ivar didn’t get out of this car soon, he was going to grab the steering wheel and drive them off of a cliff. “Please don’t leave me with him.” He never asked his brothers for anything, but he made this plea to Ubbe with such sincerity. “I am going to kill him.”

After Ubbe pulled the car into the parking space, he killed the engine and asked Hvitserk to get the bags while he talked to Ivar for a moment. “So…you have told her?” He waited for Ivar to turn around and look at him before he lowered his eyes to Ivar’s legs. He sighed in disappointment when Ivar refused to meet his eyes. “Ivar.”

“I never thought we would actually meet.” It was never really his intention to lie, but it really wasn’t a conversation he was sure how to start. Did he start by saying, ‘Hi I’m Ivar. I’m a Taurus and I’m physically challenged?’ “Then I started to like her and could not tell her. I did not want to stop talking to her. So, I came off like Bjorn.”

“Like an ass?”

Ivar shrugged. “A little. She is American. She likes that confident, arrogant type.” Shaking his head at the mess he had gotten himself into, he threw his hands up in frustration. “Ahh, it does not matter now. We will meet and have fun as friends and that will be all.”

“But that is not all. You like this girl and it sounds like she likes you. You need to tell her before you see her.” Gripping his little brother by the back of the neck, Ubbe pulled gave him a brotherly hug. “You have nothing to be embarrassed about Ivar Ragarsson. Any woman would be proud to have you.” Kissing him on the top of his head, he grumbled when Ivar pushed him away and got out of the car.

My Dad and Peter Stuyvesant.

The Venezia was a much-loved Italian restaurant, with the most delicious ice cream, in Sea Point, one block from my High School.

Every other Friday, I would meet my father there after school for lunch. My parents were long since divorced and these Friday lunch dates alternated with the weekends I would spend with him and his new Austrian wife.

I would order a toasted cheese and tomato, and a strawberry milkshake, he would have something more substantial, along with cigarette after cigarette. I can still smell the acrid burning of his Peter Stuyvesants, a brand named after the Dutch peg-legged former governor of colonial New Amsterdam (New York) until he lost it to the British.

The slogan for this oddly-named cigarette was ‘Your International Passport to Smoking Pleasure’. The cinema ads depicted jet-setters touching down in New York on a luxury airliner in what seemed like some weird modernisation of the governor’s original colonial conquests. For white South Africans, it all made perfect sense.

So, after my father had asked me the same questions he asked every week, ‘how was school/rugby/that friend of yours etc’, things would lapse into silence and I would watch the ash on the end of his cigarette grow longer and longer and hope it wouldn’t fall into his coffee.

His habit was to stare at any woman in the restaurant that caught his eye. He wasn’t subtle, but preferred direct and continuing eye contact until I would tell him to stop, my cheeks blushing and wishing the red leather seats would swallow me up. He would pull his gaze away, mumble something, light another Stuyvesant, and then start staring again.

My Dad was tall, thin, with prematurely grey hair, lots of it. A teenager during the war, too young to join up, his height meant he was handed white feathers when walking in town with his mother by those thinking he was shirking his duty. When he did join up, as a dispatch rider, it ended up with him crashing his bike (allegedly forced off the road by pro-Hitler Afrikaners) and spending a long time in bed with broken legs. He never talked about it. In fact, now that I come to think about it, he never talked about anything much. He was from that ‘action, not words’ generation of men, the bread-winners, the head of the family, the kings of their Castle lagers. A man of action.

He did talk a lot to people in America, though. In fact, he hardly ever stopped. He was ZS1JD, his call sign as an amateur radio operator, or a HAM, as it was known. He bought and built huge pieces of radio equipment, receivers, transmitters, amplifiers, filled with transistors and glowing globes that smelled like burnt dust when they fired up. He would have long chats about whatever men of his 30-something age talked about.

In the age before TV came to South Africa, it was a crackly confirmation that there was another world out there, maybe the same place where the men in the Peter Stuyvesant advert cavorted with young women who wouldn’t mind you staring at them one little bit, in fact, they might invite you over to their table and light your cigarette for you.

These were the days of Vietnam, the Six Day War, space walks, and moon shots, so there was always something to talk about. But really the thing they all loved to talk about was their equipment, which model of this, the performance of that, tech talk turned them on.

One part of his ‘rig’ was the outside aerial that carried their signals through the atmosphere. This was nothing subtle again. In his case, he had a 50-foot iron tower standing on a reinforced concrete base constructed in our back garden, topped with a multi-pronged horizontal aerial.

The radio tower built by a crew of black labourers with a white boss man to oversee it all. As we watched the workers in their blue overalls swarm up into the sky, finishing off this grey metal edifice, suddenly a worker fell. He landed in the deep grass, winded and groaning. After a few moments, he got up and went back to work. Shocked at the violence of his fall, I looked at my Dad for reassurance. “Don’t worry, John,” he said, “you know they don’t feel pain like us.” The trouble is, he believed it. As a seven-year-old at the time, I had no reason not to.

As a travelling commercial salesman, he travelled throughout the Western Cape, hawking watches, crockery, cutlery and jewellery to small businesses. He stayed away for a week at a time, at least twice a month. Then, it was just me and my Mom in the house, and the ‘maid’, as domestic workers were called in those days. Things were a lot more relaxed with him away. We didn’t have to wait till his car finally pulled up outside in the evenings and we could eat our supper, now with meat grey from overcooking and vegetables equally worse for wear.

I don’t remember much about those meals, eaten at the open window that looked over Table Bay, with Robben Island in the distance, with its prisoner who would eventually challenge those who thought ‘they don’t feel pain like us’. I do remember how I mixed my mashed potato together with the gem squash to make something more palatable, and the tinned guavas covered with sweet evaporated milk that would be dessert.

Some nights, after supper, he would pull on a pair of grey trousers and a black polo neck, pack his drum kit and head out to play in various jazz bands. He wasn’t bad at it, he could hold a beat, but I think the point was to get out of the house, away from my mother and I.

It was such a strong urge that not much stood in his way. One evening, he managed to drop a carving knife into his calf, a deep wound that spurted blood, quickly staining his handkerchief and first one dish towel and then another one. Clearly, this was a wound that needed stitching and some rest. But no, the show must go on, so he bandaged himself as best he could and limped out of the house Did he play that night? I don’t know, but he definitely got out of the house.

My Dad eventually left the house permanently when I was about nine, and then it was just me, my Mom, and Elsie the elderly, often tipsy, ‘maid’. She was there when I got home from school with sardines on toast, or baked beans, or toasted cheese and tomato.

I don’t think I missed him really, though I must have felt something. He was just gone, and became the Dad I would meet at Venezia every second Friday.

He stopped playing the drums from what I remember, he remarried (that lasted ten years or so), he built a large sprawling house in the Durbanville countryside, with a swimming pool and a bull terrier, and another aerial, even higher than the first one.

He still smoked Peter Stuyvesants, the butts piling up in his ashtray as he sat at his radio and called out to the world, “This is ZSIJD, how do you copy, who’s out there? This is ZS1JD.”

“Kim Jong-pil would see that the Park regime gave its blessing to the activities of Sun Myung Moon’s Unification Church.”

▲ Douglas MacArthur and Kim Jong-Pil in 1962

Gifts of Deceit: Sun Myung Moon, Tongsun Park and the Korean scandal by Robert Boettcher with Gordon L. Freedman

page 15 In 1946, Park Chung Hee was admitted to South Korea’s new military academy. One of the cadets entering in 1948 was Kim Jong-Pil, who later married Park’s niece; in 1961, he would help Park take over the country. He would also establish the Korean CIA, organize Park’s political party, and see that the Park regime gave its blessing to the activities of Sun Myung Moon’s Unification Church.

Chapter 2 The Lord of the Second Advent

In order to rule the world, Moon had to start with Korea. It was essential that he have loyal cultists inside the government. They had to be well placed so they could sway powerful persons and become influential themselves. They must be skillful in portraying the Unification Church as a useful political tool for the government without revealing Moon’s power goals. By Moon’s serving the government, the government would be serving him. Avenues to more power could be opened. Recognition at higher and higher levels could come. His service could become indispensable. The government could come to need him so much that he would be able to take control of it.

Four of his early followers were young army officers close to Kim Jong-Pil, the chief planner for the Park regime and founding director of the KCIA: Kim Sang-In (Steve Kim), his interpreter, later to become KCIA station chief in Mexico City; Han Sang-Keuk (Bud Han), who became ambassador to Norway; Han Sang-Kil, who became Moon’s personal secretary after serving at the Korean Embassy in Washington; and Bo Hi Pak, Moon’s advance man in Washington during and after Pak’s service as assistant military attaché at the Korean Embassy.

Kim Jong-Pil made a two-week official visit to the United States as KCIA director in the fall of 1962. Included in his entourage was Steve Kim as interpreter. The Korean Embassy mobilized for the occasion, and the Kennedy administration rolled out the red carpet. Lieutenant Colonel Bo Hi Pak was the Embassy’s officer in charge for Kim’s meetings with CIA Director John McCone, Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara, and Defense Intelligence Agency head Lieutenant General J. E. Carroll.

En route home, Kim Jong-Pil met secretly in his room at the St. Francis Hotel in San Francisco with a small group of Moon’s early activists, who had been sent to proselytize on the West Coast, and some American converts. Kim Young-Oon, beginning in Eugene, Oregon, in 1959, had moved to Berkeley, California. Choi Sang-Ik [Papasan Choi], having established the church in Japan, had moved to San Francisco. Kim told them he sympathized with Moon’s goals and promised to help the Unification Church with political support from inside the government. He said he could not afford to do so openly, however, which fit Moon’s plans perfectly.

Kim Jong-Pil had learned from Moon’s followers in the KCIA that Moon was a zealous anti-Communist. That could be useful to the government. He was also aware of Moon’s ambition to build influence in Korea and beyond. That could create problems for the government if the influence were not properly channeled. Moon was anxious to increase church membership in cities and villages throughout the country. Fine, thought Kim, just as long as they don’t get out of bounds. The KCIA must be the one calling the shots. He decided the Unification Church should be organized satisfactorily to be utilized as a political tool whenever he and the KCIA needed it. Organizing and utilizing the Unification Church would be a simple matter anyhow. After the military coup overthrew the elected government in 1961, all organizations in Korea were required to apply for reregistration with the government.

Undesirable elements were identified through a process of reevaluation and dealt with accordingly. Kim could maintain effective ties with Moon’s organization through the four army officers, but the Moonies had best not be told of Kim’s plans to manipulate them. It was a situation favorable both to Moon’s plans for expanding via the good graces of the government and to Kim Jong-Pil’s plans for building a personal power base.

Bo Hi Pak’s work for Moon in America was of crucial importance. Pak is a model Moonie. For him, Master always comes first. From the time he joined Moon in [February 1958], he endeavored to make everything he did contribute in some way to Moon’s divine mission. Assignment to the Embassy in Washington in 1961 was a precious opportunity to do missionary work in the United States. As a diplomat, he could foster Moon’s interests within the R.O.K. government and keep Moon apprised of important intelligence. It was God’s providence that he go to America, he believed, and he must make the most of it.

Pak “witnessed” tirelessly for Moon. Every new acquaintance was a potential convert. His home on North Utah Street in Arlington, Virginia, was a recruiting center. Every social gathering there was a potential study group. He was assisted in his ministry by his wife and another Moonie living with them, Jhoon Rhee [a cousin], who later became well known as the owner of a chain of Korean karate schools. In 1963, Pak established the Unification Church in Virginia. The incorporation papers declared the church to be totally independent from any other organization and affiliated with the original movement in Korea only on a doctrinal basis.

Airline pilot Robert Roland and his wife were cultivated patiently by Pak over a period of several months without a hint about the connection with Moon. The Rolands and the Paks became close friends.

On one occasion, Roland asked what the duties of an assistant military attaché were. Pak was candid about his intelligence role at the Embassy. He explained that in addition to routine diplomatic work he was responsible for liaison between South Korean and American intelligence agencies, which often required his visiting the super-secret National Security Agency (NSA) located at Fort Meade, Maryland. Roland asked about the work the NSA did.

Pak volunteered that it dealt mainly with secret codes and monitoring of radio transmissions. Roland, a bit startled by the information, was finding his new friend to be an intriguing person.

One evening, the Rolands found that they were the only guests invited. Previously, others had always been present. As small talk wore on at the dinner table, Roland sensed his hosts were leading up to something carefully planned. When the meal was finished and they were settled comfortably in the living room, Pak revealed step by step how the destiny of mankind was in the hands of a Korean named Moon. Pak’s life was devoted to helping Moon fulfill his divine mission.

“You’ve noticed that I sometimes seem tired and overworked,” he said to Roland. “That is because I am so busy working for Master that I have time for only three or four hours of sleep. My boss at the Embassy criticizes me for neglecting my duties there, but I know the Korean Government favors our movement. If necessary, I would work twenty-four hours a day for Master.”

“What are you trying to accomplish in Washington?” Roland asked.

“I must lay a firm foundation for Master by making influential political and social contacts.”

Roland was curious to know if Moon had remained celibate until he married at the age of forty.

Pak’s expression became serene and he nodded with sincerity. “Yes, most pure virgin.”

It all sounded like fascinating hogwash to Roland, but his wife was taken in. Her devotion to Moon led to divorce years later and estrangement between Roland and their daughter after she, too, became a Moonie. But it was not until many months after that first talk that Roland became outwardly hostile to the movement. In the meantime Pak attempted to convert him, and Roland learned interesting details he was later to use during a thirteen-year effort to expose the Moon organization.

After attending a concert by the Vienna Boys Choir, Pak conceived the idea of organizing a troupe of young girls to perform traditional Korean songs and dances. The propaganda value could be enormous with the right kind of management. Moon could double what the Austrians had done with the Vienna Boys Choir: little girls as ambassadors of good will for Moon and Korea, dancing their way into the hearts of millions, including presidents, prime ministers, and kings. Moon liked the idea and founded the Little Angels in 1962.

The Little Angels were one of the first of hundreds of “front” groups designed to further Moon’s universal objectives. The groups follow a consistent pattern. Moon may be listed as the founder, but ties with the Unification Church are denied. Moon stays in the background while Moonies such as Bo Hi Pak promote the group for Moon’s ultimate benefit. The technique attracts large numbers of people who are uninterested in Moon’s religion. To the extent that they know Moon is affiliated, they see him as a man with varied worthwhile interests apart from religion. The fact that his religious interests encompass everything he does is artfully hidden from the public. But even while the Little Angels project was still in the planning stage, Pak stated the purpose clearly in the application for tax-exempt status for his Virginia branch of the Unification Church. He wrote in his statement to the Internal Revenue Service: “It is hoped that the future will allow sponsoring a Korean dancing group in various cities as a means of bringing the Divine Principles to more people and to thus further the unification of World Christianity.” As evidence that his organization was a bona fide church, he submitted a letter signed by Korean Ambassador Chung Il-Kwon, which Pak had drafted, certifying that the Unification Church “has been the recognized Christian religion in Korea since 1954.” At the time of the letter, 1963, most Koreans had not yet even heard of Moon’s church. ...

how they are made

They have organised in small towns like ksm or naks with state lodges because in nairobi is to hard to fuck a woman, they get in, in the police car boots the previous night and get out at night when the storming president has left. Kevin was brought to kenya to know of the jew family character because kenyans are the pure tribe who intermarriage with those tribes from W.africa, asia and Europe. So the jew mothers in Genesis 49 were mulatoes as white kid and black. Jew are half aliens and if they dont stop they will be finished once every nation has learnt on how to make machines. Many a times they want you to join their family if you have known the same, so the question is if every nation has known that how will the whole world join one thing where there is no contrast, the option is to kill them as well to cement the bible king of jew will rise or grow rice in the wilderness as irony. The bible was put in place to inculcate fear in people or to diffuse peoples mind with theirs, it was andikwa, written somehow- mfalme wa yawhodi. H ow to make a mirror- cowshide or human mafi mixed with peoples urine and poured onto it, where a group of people jumps repeatedly up and down, doing backwards, samasolts, kajwele in dim light section while the hide in far somehow in dark, maybe using controlled lights, jumping squotted, deficating bit by bit untill the true mirror tm is made. You hurl the urine mixture onto the hide to make the same translucent mirror tm, real mirror rm. Kwake yesus nany'onji/nasimama/na-arouse then nachimba na chini mtu wa mine. Kula nayo sasa, the battery tied to welding machine gadget then to battery charger to charge agin the batteries. They dont want to dig put pride for their nation and any tom harry and dick can make this shit. Go to the usa again, take/chukuwa that greencard to find where to channel their pride when their owns are there, get in Gi what they say, sasa we want to monitor them, they want to make you their ladder as to use you. Fuck you ten times America/mexicans. Even if i say luo, where will you take me, you cant block or stop my life as much as swahili, the text it leave me alone and there is money at http://www.2goinvoice.com using mozilla for android better in the google play. Ser go nyiri wa-goat parable, mfalme wa yawhodi to cement the truth, now we wanna see if you will succeed in seducing pretty women with it. ndiyo says George. Generators, some jets are made of hay, wheat chaff, rice or cereals as tree leaves as the sacrifice not isaac. You burn hay many people surrounds it urinating on it or salivationg on it in one senario or while it burns you do the same to make gadgets like diskman, small electric gadgets like switches, bulb etc, Battery backups, invators. With jets you do it in country side many people surrounds the hay singing hyms untill the cracking sound emanates and there is the jet like in kansas. Jikos, kettle, heaters, utensils, stoves, watches are made this way as much as clothes or building bricks. You take two walkman cassette then you use 1.5 battery or single battery to run the 0ne hr tape slowly, you mount it on a board facing each other then - you input the 2 connected usa type of switch on it with a wire that if one of the stereo was playing and the tape is over, the play button jumps up to switch/press the start button of the other facing it stereo to open one switch at a time and guess what fellows there the timer. You can use the small solar lamp with dc output on it not to exhaust you of buying battery or with electricity the transformer will be hot then burst, spoiling the whole process. With Real mirror rm or true mirror tm as ten minas is made in the dark where you take cows hide then take a mixture of human urine and mafi and pour on it, then you defecated squatted but jumping, you can do backwards or kajwel as well then boom the translucent mirror with the first jumping method or the normal kiyo with the backwards method. Cadillac are made with a cow where one stands on his head shoot her head with a spear or a gun then jumps then boom the vehicle. Jumps and runs away. Rolls roy is made with a horse where his head is shot with a gun many times when not standing then boom the roy not nyiroy in luo. Malaysia goods are the best, side effects is minimal, they use Gallic, kitungu sawhomu ks in there making. Like her phones and cars. Where you are a loner with little friends to consult the immediate vegetation near you became green even for that day and you see that but when in groups like some community like the masai or luo all time the vegetation becomes brown or not that green. It dries up so they they cheat people to do the same for the nation not to open as the Garden of Eden but with 2goinvoice we will achieve that. In Egypt the ground opened for Joseph out of this, there was segregation and handwork for 7 years as opposed to other dry spell 7 years. Who to the people who longs to see the lords day in Malachi four Mf, mfawheat island in Kenya. If you take the made welding machine according to Michael masita of Oklahoma advising me, and you immerse it in a container that fits it or make a metallic ones and glue rubber on its inner walls or blader to avoid electrocution and then take diesel engine oil and pour it to the brim, close it or not like the power transformer on the poles then it can work day night without burning, you and your sons, grandsons can use it to infinity once it is put in a moisture free zone to avoid rusting. It eliminates the need for an electric timer. Cardiac is made with cattle or human teeth where one or many hangs from lofty/near height from a roof maybe a rope then they fall on that teeth heap with their booty then walks away in the dark then boom the Cadillac escalady car. Road to emaus to cement the truth, rooftop flag post left alone on the roof top in the bible to cement the truth. Escalators are also made with chaff or rice but this way. Hammer car is made with shooting a cow on the head then you dismount, while standing on the back, you jump away swiftly from it for the car to come up. It is not rocket science of we thevelop with Russians. Eat food from hell dude the french, british and Germans it was a hard decision when your choosing the land having that in mind if 2goinvoice was unearthed and the customer of your machines countries have learnt to make the same. Germans aint aliens so they wanted to be many and spread their wings in every emerging economy to spice or overpower the half aliens as the jew who are bound to spoil the world as destroy it in the bible. Trump kim met again the bobcollymore kiddnaped so that his email and social media particulars be taken or erased, the phone section, the number if takes 3 months unused it is given to another someone then if they know your email like they do with collymore they send the code to that number and get to all of your logging rendering you useless. Light rail train is made out of corpse, leaves, paper, fruits, berries, garlic and you do just the same with what you did with Cadillac above. Now Iran is in pretense of war with USA because other nations have learnt the same with making machines robing them pride. It is just a beef like Korea one but war will never escalate, playing with peoples mind as now they are deep bogged into jealousy or defeat period.

police car boots the previous night and get out at night when the storming president has left. Kevin was brought to kenya to know of the jew family character because kenyans are the pure tribe who intermarriage with those tribes from W.africa, asia and Europe. So the jew mothers in Genesis 49 were mulatoes as white kid and black. Jew are half aliens and if they dont stop they will be finished once every nation has learnt on how to make machines. Many a times they want you to join their family if you have known the same, so the question is if every nation has known that how will the whole world join one thing where there is no contrast, the option is to kill them as well to cement the bible king of jew will rise or grow rice in the wilderness as irony. The bible was put in place to inculcate fear in people or to diffuse peoples mind with theirs, it was andikwa, written somehow- mfalme wa yawhodi. H ow to make a mirror- cowshide or human mafi mixed with peoples urine and poured onto it, where a group of people jumps repeatedly up and down, doing backwards, samasolts, kajwele in dim light section while the hide in far somehow in dark, maybe using controlled lights, jumping squotted, deficating bit by bit untill the true mirror tm is made. You hurl the urine mixture onto the hide to make the same translucent mirror tm, real mirror rm. Kwake yesus nany'onji/nasimama/na-arouse then nachimba na chini mtu wa mine.

With jets you do it in country side many people surrounds the hay singing hyms untill the cracking sound emanates and there is the jet like in kansas. Jikos, kettle, heaters, utensils, stoves, watches are made this way as much as clothes or building bricks. You take two walkman cassette then you use 1.5 battery or single battery to run the 0ne hr tape slowly, you mount it on a board facing each other then - you input the 2 connected usa type of switch on it with a wire that if one of the stereo was playing and the tape is over, the play button jumps up to switch/press the start button of the other facing it stereo to open one switch at a time and guess what fellows there the timer.

STUPID AS STUPID DOES

A Refresher Course: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The war with Muslims started in the 7th Century and lasted through the 17th Century. Many will contend it never stopped; the facts below are historically correct. That is why many of us choke when we hear...we will defeat or contain these Islamic terrorists in a few years, or even "30 years" as has been stated by Leon Panetta. If the latest batch of murders, beheadings, and killing of innocent Christians has at all shocked you, it is time for you to read this compilation of historical facts about the intense hatred that Muslims have for any and all who are not Muslims. WE ARE THE STUPID In 732 A.D., the Muslim Army, which was moving on Paris, was defeated and turned back at Tours, France, by Charles Martell. In 1571 A.D., the Muslim Army/Navy was defeated by the Italians and Austrians as they tried to cross the Mediterranean to attack southern Europe in the Battle of Lepanto. In 1683 A.D., the Turkish Muslim Army, attacking Eastern Europe, was finally defeated in the Battle of Vienna by German and Polish Christian armies. This nonsense has been going on for 1,400 years! The sad thing is that more than half of all politicians do not even know any of this. If these battles had not been won, we would most likely be speaking Arabic. And Christianity could be non-existent. Judaism certainly would not exist! Reality check: A lot of Americans have become so insulated from reality that they imagine America can suffer defeat without any inconvenience to themselves. Think back: The following events are true historical facts. It has been many years since 1968, but history keeps repeating itself. 1. In 1968, Robert Kennedy was shot and killed by a Muslim male. 2. In 1972, at the Munich Olympics, Israeli athletes were kidnapped and massacred by Muslim males. 3. In 1972, a Pan Am 747 was hijacked and eventually diverted to Cairo where a fuse was lit on final approach. Shortly after landing, it was blown up by Muslim males. 4. In 1973, a Pan Am 707 was destroyed in Rome - with 33 people killed - when it was attacked with grenades by Muslim males. 5. In 1979, the United States Embassy in Iran was taken over by Muslim males. 6. During the 1980s, a number of Americans were kidnapped in Lebanon by Muslim males. 7. In 1983, the United States Marine barracks in Beirut was blown up by Muslim males. 8. In 1985, the cruise ship AchilleLauro was hijacked, and a 70-year-old American passenger was murdered and thrown overboard in his wheelchair by Muslim males. 9. In 1985, TWA Flight 847 was hijacked at Athens, and a United States Navy diver - who was trying to rescue passengers - was murdered by Muslim males. 10. In 1988, Pan Am Flight 103 was bombed by Muslim males. 11. In 1993, the World Trade Center was bombed for the first time by Muslim males. 12. In 1998, the United States embassies in Kenya and Tanzania were bombed by Muslim males. 13. On 09/11/01, four airliners were hijacked. Two of the planes were used as missiles to take down the World Trade Centers. One plane crashed into the United States Pentagon, and the other plane was diverted and crashed by the passengers. Thousands of people were killed by Muslim males. 14. In 2002, the United States fought a war in Afghanistan against Muslim males. 15. In 2002, reporter Daniel Pearl was kidnapped and beheaded by - you guessed it - a Muslim male. (Plus two other American journalists who had just recently been beheaded.) 16. In 2013, the Boston Marathon bombing resulted in four innocent people, including a child, being killed and 264 other people injured by Muslim males. No, I really do not see a pattern here to justify profiling. Do you? So, to ensure we Americans never offend anyone - particularly fanatics intent on killing us - airport security screeners will no long be allowed to profile certain people. So, ask yourself: "Just how stupid are we?!?!" Have Americans completely lost their minds or just their "power of reason?" As the writer of the award winning story "Forrest Gump" so aptly put it, "Stupid is as stupid does." You now have the opportunity to send this on to other email contacts. Please do that. Or you can just sit back, keep complaining and do nothing. As Barack Obama said in his book: "Nothing sounds as beautiful as the Muslim evening prayers from the tower." Wake up America!

Three Days

21.03.2020

I’m sitting in the kitchen of my grandparents' old apartment. I’m alone, and will, with no exception, stay alone for the next 14 days. I’m wearing my flowery kimono, listening to jazz, drinking Turkish coffee. My brain is full of the happenings of past days. The worst three days of my life.

On 17th March I was still in Amsterdam, the city that’s been home of mine for past 6,5 years. I decided to pause my part-time job and to stay at home as much as possible. My health condition puts me in risk group and I assumed taking distance from everyone is the most responsible, not just for myself but for the others too. I planned on waiting it through at home, and i felt safe, felt good. I thought how exciting it is to be told to take it slow, to read, watch movies, hopefully start planning and making work for my upcoming solo show in June.

I’ve questioned my position in Amsterdam in past months, especially after I graduated. I’ve never been very nationalistic in sense of thinking that my home country is the best place for me. However, after finishing art school I slowly started to play with the idea of moving back - I missed the nature, I missed the real grown food in our countryside home, I thought artists maybe have it a little lighter and easier over there. Over past months I’ve been switching between “I need to go back”, “I’m scared to go back” and “I cannot let myself go back”. Oh, how irrelevant those thoughts and feelings are now! No one would have thought we all appear in strange times like these.

I’ve been subletting a house from a girl, who went on Erasmus to Prague. On 17th March she called me saying her studies have been cancelled and she has to return back to The Netherlands. She packed her bags and went back home the following day. At this point the pressure from my family was real strong - they wanted me back in Slovakia no matter what - and the chances to return were already limited. We made a quick decision to pack my stuff in the boxes (after 6 weeks of living there), pack my suitcases and book the very last flight to Vienna. I was lucky to get the very last seat on that plane, knowing that the airport would shut down the same day at midnight. I cried and cried, thinking how unfair and unfortunate it is, how nothing worse can happen to me. Leaving my life behind (in boxes), leaving my love, my friends. I cried as my boyfriend dropped me off at Amsterdam airport, I cried in the departure hall. I spent an hour waiting in line to get my suitcase checked in. People were nervous, there was an obvious fear in the hall. Almost like the one I remember from those times of terrorist attacks. I could sense everyone feeling vulnerable, unsafe.

When I finally got to check in desk, the lady behind cheerfully congratulated me on being able to take the last plane ever. We laughed about my suitcase being just 22.9kg, and how I managed to pack my life for unknown future within the allowed limit. Just after I handed her my passport she looked at the computer screen and went “Hopla. New update.” It must have been around 12:40 around that time. Apparently, just minutes before someone has decided to allow only Austrian citizens on this plane. None of this was mentioned on any websites around that time (I kept thoroughly checking Amsterdam Schiphol airport website, Vienna Schwechat airport website, KLM airline website). I was rejected. Explaining how Vienna airport is actually where all Slovaks fly, how close it is to our borders and how every other country surrounding Slovakia is shut down was of no use. I was not allowed to board this plane. I took all my belongings, went outside and just cried. People laughed at me for wearing a mask, people took distance not understanding why this young woman, with latex gloves on, cries so hard.

Normally I work well in emergency situations, but this time I felt caged. I didn’t know what to do, I couldn’t name what I wanted. I thought that maybe going back to Slovakia isn’t so bad, now that I’ve been rejected.

To make it a little more clear for the ones who don’t know - probably one of the worst fears of us young Slovaks is being banned from travelling. The past is still too present of how our parents and grandparents have been locked down in one country for decades. We were raised thinking this cannot happen to us, ever again. We were encouraged to move, to value it, to enjoy it, to really use the freedom they never had. Slovakia might be politically unstable, but one thing we try to protect is the freedom of movement, of speech, of act. We cannot let ourselves go backwards in this one.

But this fight is of a different kind. It’s a war led by a virus. It doesn’t care about the politics, nor about the borders or passports. At the same time, the measurements most of the countries took are political for many. Not being able to get back to my homecountry is something I would have never ever imagined. Not being able to work out one little hole in the system, where I could let myself through. Being too alone to deal with this, with noone being able to help me.

The plane I was supposed be on departed and I was back again in my, now former, house. I called the Slovak embassy, where they suggested to sign up for repatriation. The word I have learnt just a few days ago. And yes, it’s as serious as it sounds. Slovak government has arranged transportation of Slovaks who wish to get back. (The estimated amount of Slovaks abroad is around 250 000, of barely 6mil. citizens). I was told to register and wait for a confirmation email. In this case, they wouldn’t confirm everyone. They would prioritise people based on their age, health state, and reason why they are abroad and why they need to return. I was approved within 2 hours. The bus would leave the next day, filled with other citizens, most likely also the infected ones. We would have to sign a document, where we declare that we will suffer (the actual English translation of the word they used) though obligatory quarantine in a place set up by government. There we would spend next 14 days, waiting to be tested and if proven negative, we would be allowed to go home to continue the self-isolation. These places are in different cities around the country, empty buildings or hotels, hosting 3-5 people in one room, banned from leaving the room at all. For people of risk group like me this would mean almost no chance to avoid getting infected too. At this point I had only two choices - to stay in Amsterdam, to be potentially homeless, for sure jobless, not knowing when and how this all ends, and therefore financially unprepared - or to go back to Slovakia and take the risk of getting very ill.

I was lucky enough to get in contact with one Slovak, who has been rejected to board that plane too. This was a pure coincidence of my mother calling their neighbours, who’s friends have a son studying in Amsterdam. We spoke on the phone and feared the transport as well as the obligatory quarantine. But there wasn’t any other way.

Almost by the time I made peace with getting ill, something has happened. Czech government has allowed Slovak citizens to transit through their country. Up until then there was a ban for all international citizens, including Slovaks (which again, something we would have never thought, after being Czechoslovakia for so long). We booked an early morning plane to Prague and waited. My boxes were packed, stored in the attic of my former house, my suitcase filled with my much needed medicine for upcoming 6-12 months.

I got to the airport at 4am, being let through check in at around 5am. First victory. Us Slovaks waited nervously at the gate, not knowing whether they let us through. When the plane started to board, I was stopped because my passport wasn’t Czech. At this point I was ready to go through dead bodies (Slovak saying). I showed them my declaration of just transiting through Czech republic. They probably didn’t have time to check the new updates and let me through. The plane was full in the back, however empty in front. Just a few people sat there, with approximate distance of 3m from each other. I believe these were either infected, or just waiting for the results. We were told not to move to empty seats in any case.

The plane landed. We got out and as the Schengen zone is closed now, had to be checked at security. (Again, unimaginable thing for us Slovaks in our former home country). Two of us were let through, me and the guy weren’t. We were handed a paper that said “No tourists, no internationals.” No matter what out history is, on paper we are internationals now. They took out passports, the declarations and we waited again. They let us go after 15 minutes, stating strictly how we need to exit the country as soon as possible. We had booked a car, but as Czechia is locked down, all car rentals were closed. We were lucky enough that the company we have chosen had one extra car to be moved to Slovakia. We got this car and drove away. Usually it’s about 3,5h drive from Prague to Bratislava. Roads were full of international trucks, who mostly drove both on left and right lane, blocking us from passing. Before we reached Czech-Slovak borders we got stuck in about 25km traffic - one lane, filled with truck drivers who have probably been there for hours already. Rudely we drove past them and reached the borders. Police stopped us. We told them we’re Slovaks and need to get back home. They escorted us towards Slovak border. Then Slovak police stopped us. We didn’t leave the car, but been tested for body temperature. We had to give out our personal information including our ID number, phone number and the address where we will stay next 14 days. We were told not to leave the house, not even to take the garbage out. The police joked about three boys being in one quarantine together and me alone and separate, and how more enjoyable it would be for them to have a woman around. I had to bite my tongue, but this was not a situation to fight sexism. They let us through.

Boys drove me to this apartment where my father already waited, wearing gloves and a face mask. We couldn’t hug or touch, but I could see how relieved he was to have me back. My family has prepared the apartment for me, filled with food and sweet little messages and pictures laying around. I put on jazz music and went for a cigarette on my balcony. Spring equinox, 21 degrees outside. My only touch with outside will be this balcony for upcoming 14 days, but I couldn’t feel happier and safer in that very moment. I made it.

I’m shaky writing this down. The trauma I have from past days will be hard to get over. My worst nightmares happened all in just two short days.

When being rejected from the plane (and not knowing that this would get even worse) someone who heard about my story called me “an adult woman that should be able to deal with this on her own”. That is a mind of someone privileged enough to say such thing. Someone that has never appeared in this situation where their rights and freedoms were taken away. And I pray for them to never ever experience this.

Hopefully this virus will change something in people’s mind, finally understanding the struggles many face daily - immigrants, people living in war zones, people being discriminated based on their nationality or ethnicity. When someone as privileged as me can end up like this - how about the one’s that have been limited way before this virus took over? I’m angry remembering all these people in Amsterdam laughing at me two weeks ago when I said the situation is serious. The ones laughing at me for wearing a mask, those organising corona parties or brunching in city centre every day instead of home-office working. The ones that said this is just a flu and it cannot hit us, white Western people. Because nothing can touch us, right? Oh, and please forbid if our economy gets affected. Our comfort and luxury.

I know much and many will be affected by this. Some will loose their jobs, become poor. Some will die. There’s no way to joke about this anymore. It’s too late. We have to develop new way of being, of discipline, we have to start working together, for ourselves and everyone else. To follow maybe strict rules given by governments, to simplify our way of living and consuming. The change is needed. I wish for the best to all of us, for strong health and for being able to overcome these days, weeks, possibly months. We’re in this together.

Guest Post: What Can the First GDPR Fines Tell Us?

Bill Boeck

As most readers undoubtedly are aware, the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation went into effect on May 25, 2018. Even though the regulation has only been in effect for a few months, regulators across Europe have already starting levying fines under the regulation’s provisions. In the following guest post, Bill Boeck takes a look at the fines that have been imposed so far and considers their implications. Bill is currently Senior Vice President and Insurance and Claims Counsel with the Lockton Companies. He is Lockton’s global leader for cyber claims and for the development of proprietary cyber wordings and endorsements. Bill also leads Lockton’s US financial lines claims practice. A version of this article previously was published on the Lockton Cyber Risk Update Blog. I would like to thank Bill for his willingness to allow me to publish his article on this site. I welcome guest post submissions from responsible authors on topics of interest to this site’s readers. Please contact me directly if you would like to submit a guest post. Here is Bill’s article.

*************************

Article 83 of the GDPR authorizes data protection authorities (DPA) in EU member states to impose administrative fines of €20 million or 2% of a company’s worldwide revenues, or for more serious violations, €40 million or 4% of a company’s worldwide revenues, whichever is larger. Notwithstanding that potential, Article 83 requires fines in each case to be “effective, proportionate and dissuasive.” While DPAs across the EU have tried to assure the public that they are not anxious to impose large fines, companies have been anxiously awaiting what DPAs would do in practice.

In an interview published on October 9, 2018 European Data Protection Supervisor Giovanni Buttarelli predicted that DPAs would issue fines before the end of the year. He was absolutely right. Over the past three months we’ve seen the first fines issued under the GDPR. So far it looks like DPAs are being true to their words.

The first fine was imposed in Austria before Mr. Buttarelli made his comments. It is a good illustration of the reach of the GDPR.

In September 2018 the Austrian Data Protection Authority fined the owner of a betting shop because the shop’s camera trained on the entrance also captured the sidewalk in front. The Austrian DPA determined that this violated the GDPR because such monitoring of public space is not allowed. The amount of the fine was €4,800 plus legal costs. The Austrian DPA acknowledged that the GDPR allows larger fines to be imposed, but noted that fines must be “proportionate.”

The largest fine I’m aware of was issued against a hospital in Portugal. On October 22, 2018 the Centro Hospitalar Barreiro Montijo near Lisbon stated that it would challenge a €400,000 fine imposed for two violations of the GDPR. Portugal’s National Data Protection Commission determined that patient information was inappropriately accessible by non-medical staff. That violation drew a €300,000 fine. The second violation, for which the hospital was fined €100,000, concerned its inability to “ensure the confidentiality, integrity, availability and permanent resilience of treatment systems and services.”

Most recently, the German chat platform Knuddels.de was fined €20,000 in connection with the breach of user passwords in July 2018. Knuddels unfortunately stored user information and passwords in unencrypted plain text. This allowed hackers to obtain as many as 808,000 user email addresses and 1,872,000 user pseudonyms and passwords. 330,000 were subsequently published on the Internet.

Knuddels’ handling of the event appears to have affected the amount of the fine. The Baden-Württemberg Data Protection Authority noted the company’s swift and comprehensive communication to its users and its transparency and cooperation with the DPA. Those facts, combined with improvements in data handling, led the DPA to impose a fine less harsh than it might otherwise have been. The DPA stated that it “is not interested in entering into a competition for the highest possible fines. In the end, it’s about improving privacy and data security for the users.”

The fines issued so far begin to tell us about how DPAs will enforce the GDPR.

DPAs have made it clear that they intend to enforce every aspect of the GDPR. The Austrian DPA’s focus on a camera covering too much of the sidewalk sends a strong message that all businesses need to be aware of their obligations under the regulation, and that non-compliance with any part can be costly.

The Austrian fine also demonstrates that DPAs are concerned with violations by businesses of all sizes. While one might expect DPAs to focus their attention on larger companies, they obviously are looking at all businesses regardless of size.

Conscientious responses to data compromise events will be rewarded by DPAs. The Baden-Württemberg DPA’s complimentary comments about Knuddels and statement about the purpose of enforcement being to improve privacy and data security strongly suggest that DPAs intend to use fines to guide companies’ conduct and to penalize them only to the extent necessary.

DPAs take seriously the requirement that fines be proportionate. Depending on the size of the Austrian betting shop’s business, the €4,800 fine issued by the Austrian DPA arguably is relatively modest, and seems to reflect the relatively minor violation committed by the shop. If we use the Austrian fine as an informal benchmark, given the size of the Knuddels breach one might have expected the fine to have been much greater than €20,000. The limited fine suggests that DPAs won’t focus solely on what happened, and that they will also look at a company’s actions after a cyber event to determine proportionality. While I don’t have information about how the fines against Centro Hospitalar Barreiro Montijo were calculated, it isn’t difficult to imagine that the Portuguese National Data Protection Commission believed that indiscriminate access to patient health records required a stiff response.

Looking forward, the number of fines is certain to grow in the coming months. EU DPAs are receiving significant numbers of complaints. The UK has received the largest number of complaints, and it may be the jurisdiction to watch in the short term.

Although no fine has been issued yet, the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) notified AggregateIQ Data Services, Ltd. (AIQ) on July 6, 2018 that the company’s handling of UK voter information violated the GDPR. Pro-Brexit groups retained AIQ to profile and target voters in connection with the 2016 Brexit referendum. (AIQ has also been linked to Cambridge Analytica which gained notoriety for its misuse of Facebook data and work for Donald Trump’s presidential campaign.) In May 2018 the Canadian company confirmed to the ICO that it continues to hold information on UK citizens and that the information has previously been accessed by a third party without authorization. The ICO’s notice states that it may impose a fine of €20 million or 4% of AIQ’s worldwide revenues, whichever is larger. AIQ is challenging the ICO’s determination, so it remains to be seen what fine (if any) will ultimately be imposed.

The well-publicized data breach at British Airways will be an excellent test case. The breach of more than 550,000 passenger records and payment cards is a significant event. The airline has been diligent about notifying affected individuals and has notified the ICO as required by the GDPR. If the ICO shares the views of others that British Airways has responded well to the event, it will be very interesting to see whether any fine issued is broadly consistent with the €20,000 assessed against Knuddels.

I would be remiss if I ended this post without touching on whether GDPR fines are insurable. Unfortunately there is no clear answer. As one of my colleagues noted in an earlier article, there are a number of factors that will be taken into account when answering the question. While one report expresses the view that GDPR fines are insurable in Finland and Norway (Finland’s Financial Supervisory Authority recently reached a different conclusion), I share my colleague’s view that until insurability has been expressly addressed in a jurisdiction, it is safest to assume that the fines are not insurable.

Should GDPR fines prove to be insurable, there will likely be no shortage of insurance solutions to cover them.

STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES !!! You can ask any person, between the ages of 18 and 25, if they have ever heard of the Nuremberg Trials. It is possible that one person out of thirteen will say they have heard of the Trials. However, even that one will not be able to tell you what (not who) was on trial. Those same people will not be able to tell you the name of the current Vice President. Eighty four percent of those who receive this email will not completely read it...if they read any of it at all. Ten percent will read it, but they will choose not to forward it on to others. The remaining 6% most likely will forward it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The war started in the 7th Century and lasted through the 17th Century. Many will contend it never stopped; the facts below are historically correct. That is why many of us choke when we hear someone say we will defeat or contain these Islamic terrorists in a few years, or even "30 years" as has been stated by Leon Panetta. If the latest batch of murders, beheadings, and killing of innocent Christians has at all shocked you, it is time for you to read this compilation of historical facts about the intense hatred that Muslims have for any and all who are not Muslims. WE ARE THE STUPID In 732 A.D., the Muslim Army, which was moving on Paris, was defeated and turned back at Tours, France, by Charles Martell. In 1571 A.D., the Muslim Army/Navy was defeated by the Italians and Austrians as they tried to cross the Mediterranean to attack southern Europe in the Battle of Lepanto. In 1683 A.D., the Turkish Muslim Army, attacking Eastern Europe, was finally defeated in the Battle of Vienna by German and Polish Christian armies. This nonsense has been going on for 1,400 years! The sad thing is that more than half of all politicians do not even know any of this. If these battles had not been won, we would most likely be speaking Arabic. And Christianity could be non-existent. Judaism certainly would not exist! Reality check: A lot of Americans have become so insulated from reality that they imagine America can suffer defeat without any inconvenience to themselves. Think back: The following events are true historical facts. It has been many years since 1968, but history keeps repeating itself. 1. In 1968, Robert Kennedy was shot and killed by a Muslim male. 2. In 1972, at the Munich Olympics, Israeli athletes were kidnapped and massacred by Muslim males. 3. In 1972, a Pan Am 747 was hijacked and eventually diverted to Cairo where a fuse was lit on final approach. Shortly after landing, it was blown up by Muslim males. 4. In 1973, a Pan Am 707 was destroyed in Rome â€“ with 33 people killed â€“ when it was attacked with grenades by Muslim males. 5. In 1979, the United States Embassy in Iran was taken over by Muslim males. 6. During the 1980s, a number of Americans were kidnapped in Lebanon by Muslim males. 7. In 1983, the United States Marine barracks in Beirut was blown up by Muslim males. 8. In 1985, the cruise ship Achille Lauro was hijacked, and a 70-year-old American passenger was murdered and thrown overboard in his wheelchair by Muslim males. 9. In 1985, TWA Flight 847 was hijacked at Athens, and a United States Navy diver â€“ who was trying to rescue passengers â€“ was murdered by Muslim males. 10. In 1988, Pan Am Flight 103 was bombed by Muslim males. 11. In 1993, the World Trade Center was bombed for the first time by Muslim males. 12. In 1998, the United States embassies in Kenya and Tanzania were bombed by Muslim males. 13. On 09/11/01, four airliners were hijacked. Two of the planes were used as missiles to take down the World Trade Centers. One plane crashed into the United States Pentagon, and the other plane was diverted and crashed by the passengers. Thousands of people were killed by Muslim males. 14. In 2002, the United States fought a war in Afghanistan against Muslim males. 15. In 2002, reporter Daniel Pearl was kidnapped and beheaded by â€“ you guessed it â€“ a Muslim male. (Plus two other American journalists who had just recently been beheaded.) 16. In 2013, the Boston Marathon bombing resulted in four innocent people, including a child, being killed and 264 other people injured by Muslim males. No, I really do not see a pattern here to justify profiling. Do you? So, to ensure we Americans never offend anyone â€“ particularly fanatics intent on killing us â€“ airport security screeners will no long be allowed to profile certain people. So, ask yourself: "Just how stupid are we?!?!" Have Americans completely lost their minds or just their "power of reason?" As the writer of the award winning story "Forrest Gump" so aptly put it, "Stupid is as stupid does." You now have the opportunity to send this on to other email contacts. Please do that. Or you can just sit back, keep complaining and do nothing. As Barack Obama said in his book: "Nothing sounds as beautiful as the Muslim evening prayers from the tower." Wake up America!

Airlines Become More Sophisticated With Personalized Offers for Passengers

Lufthansa Group is one of many airline companies trying to refine its digital strategy so it can offer the right products at the right time to the right customers. Lufthansa

Skift Take: Many of the world's airlines know they're not as good as retailers like Amazon in targeting offers for individual passengers. A lot of carriers want to improve, so they can get the right offer in front of the right person at the right time. But it won't be easy, since airlines often have clunky computer systems.

— Brian Sumers

Just before Christmas, Iberia Airlines sent emails to some customers. If they could vacation anywhere, the airline asked, where would they like to go? And with whom?

Iberia asked customers to go to a special website, where they would share information on their travel desires and contact information for a favored travel partner. A little later, the customer’s friend would receive an email from Iberia. “Feliz Navidad,” it started, before explaining that the friend had created a special travel-related holiday card, with help from Iberia.

To view it, all the recipient had to do was click on a link. Iberia then put its advertising budget to work, using cookies so the traveler’s friend would see banners across the web, suggesting the perfect Christmas gift. “Alejandro’s dream is to travel to Bilbao,” one might read, “and you can fulfill it.” Another might suggest, “It’s never too late to fulfill Alejandro’s dream. Do it with a trip to Bilbao.”

It was a small promotion, running for fewer than three weeks and only in Spain. And it wasn’t easy for Iberia to measure its effectiveness, since the airline could only a see a correlation on revenues if a person clicked on the ad and bought tickets. But Iberia’s Christmas promotion shows how some airlines are working to target offers not to general market segments, but to individuals. They want to provide the right offer to the right person at the most opportune time — all to generate more revenue.

“It’s about relevance,” Iberia Chief Commercial Officer Marco Sansavini said in an interview. “I will offer to you what is relevant to you, which is not necessarily what is relevant to your friend that is next to you.”

Airlines were among the first retailers to divide consumer groups and price accordingly, charging different fares for the same product based on a market segment’s perceived ability to pay. That’s why business travelers tend to pay higher fares than leisure customers, even when both fly the same routes.

But with retailers like Amazon and content companies such as Netflix using more sophisticated technology to monitor consumer needs and react accordingly, airlines sometimes struggle to keep up. If Amazon can vary pricing on a whim, according to individual tastes, why can’t airlines? And If Netflix can guess, with reasonable accuracy, what movie a person might enjoy, shouldn’t airlines know where a traveler might fly next? Or shouldn’t an airline know what ancillary option a loyal traveler might want? Perhaps lounge access? Or an upgrade to premium economy?

Many companies, including Lufthansa Group, are working to analyze customer data so they can guess what customers will want — perhaps even before they know.

Before Christmas, Iberia used cookies to try to target web advertisements.

“You don’t want to be spooky,” said Marcus Casey, Lufthansa’s vice president for personalized customer experience, analytics and data management. “We all don’t know what Facebook knows about us, right? But if you’re open with how you handle data, the opportunities are immense.”

Working to Learn Customer Needs

At its Munich hub, Lufthansa is testing approaches to better understand customer needs.

In one program, the airline has deployed sensors and bluetooth beacons so it can message customers in real-time. Often, when a targeted passenger comes through security — and has bluetooth enabled on his phone — the airline’s personalization program starts working.

First, what the airline calls its “Big Data Engine” examines the customer’s mobile boarding pass and calculates how much time the traveler has before departure. If it’s more than 65 minutes, the system examines the customer’s profile in Lufthansa’s frequent flyer program, called Miles and More, to see if the passenger has free airport lounge access. If not, the system considers making the customer a lounge offer — but only after evaluating whether the customer might buy it.

“We look at his Miles and More profile and ask, does he have an affinity for this product?” said David Doyle, Lufthansa’s director for personalized customer experience. “Based on that affinity score, we also then contact the lounge system. We have sensors in the lounge that tell us how much space there is. [If there’s space,] the beacon then sends a signal to the app and the customer gets then an offer for the business lounge for 25 euros.”

The lounge promotion is part of what Lufthansa calls SMILE, a companywide program dedicated to personalizing travel. Many Lufthansa Group customers — the company owns Swiss Air Lines, Brussels Airlines, Austrian Airlines, and the low-cost airline Eurowings — may have some interaction with the program, though they may not know it.

For many, SMILE kicks in after booking, as the airline decides which ancillary items it might offer. Options include hotels, rental cars, trip insurance, lounge access, or upgrades to business class or premium economy.

In the past, Lufthansa discovered bombarding customers with all of their options wasn’t effective. Now, it sends offers to customers only when its data engine suspects passengers might want them. The system may take into account whether it thinks the person is traveling on business or leisure, or where the customer bought the ticket — through Lufthansa or a through a travel agent.

For example, if Lufthansa thinks a customer is traveling on business, it might not offer travel insurance, as it will guess the passenger’s company has a policy for its employees.

“You can send something out and it has all the offers,” Casey said. “But your eye will catch two and not 10 offers. The important thing is, ‘how relevant is what I send you?’ When is the best time to offer you what product through what device? When are you most susceptible of wanting to buy something? That might not be two weeks before you fly, if it’s an upgrade. Maybe it’s when you get to the airport, or you’re packing your bags and you say, ‘Damn, I have 12 hours in economy class ahead of me.’ Then if you get the offer, you will buy. It’s behavioral economics, basically.”

Sometimes, Lufthansa makes decisions about customer needs that don’t involve generating sales. If it looks at a traveler’s itinerary and notices the person is flying from London to Frankfurt for the day, it may not send detailed destination information, said Alexander Prinz, a member of Lufthansa’s big data analytics team.

“Maybe we don’t want to send you weather information for Frankfurt because we know you fly in during the morning and fly out during the evening,” he said. “You’re most probably a business traveler. What will you see of Frankfurt? You will see arrivals, the taxi driver, your office, maybe a meeting room, the taxi driver, the terminal and that’s about it.”

Prinz said Lufthansa is working on bigger — and perhaps more fun — projects. Lufthansa is trying a Netflix-style algorithm that seeks to guess where its most frequent flyers would like to vacation next.

“We can find people who are flying are statistical twins,” he said.[We’ll say to a customer,] ‘This guy, He flew to there. You didn’t.’ Why don’t we offer this to you? You two fit perfectly together.”

Far from perfect

While Lufthansa and Iberia brag about their personalization strategies, the general consensus is that airlines have work to do before they will always sell the right product to the right person at the best time.

For many carriers, technology is a major issue. Airlines were among the first companies to embrace computers, and among the first to sell on the web. That put them ahead in the 1970s, 80s, and 90s, but today, a lot of airlines rely on antiquated technology for some systems.

Many airlines have invested in modernizing some channels, while keeping other systems as they were a decade or two ago. Sometimes that creates a problem where the personalization is not consistent across the entire experience, said Dermot O’Connor, co-founder and vice president for product and engineering at Boxever, a firm that helps airlines craft personalization strategies.

It’s a problem, he said, when an airline tailors messages to customers via email or push notifications, but its employees know little about that same customer if the passenger approaches an airport service desk or calls the reservations line. Amazon rarely faces this issue, he said, in part because its employees generally do not interact face-to-face with customers.

O’Connor added that some airlines “silo” their data, so one part of an airline does not share customer information with another.

“They have a real challenge in knowing their customers and talking to their customers across all their business channels,” O’Connor said. “Who is doing that well? No one. That’s a really difficult problem. That’s what everyone is trying to solve.”

Campbell Wilson, senior vice president for sales and marketing at Singapore Airlines, said developing personalization strategies across channels is a problem because airlines are unusually complex businesses. He acknowledged airlines may have more information about customers than most corporations, including from their frequent flyer programs, but said knowing what to do with that data is more difficult than it may appear.

“It’s very true that we can analyze our data such that we can determine what characteristics lead to a propensity to do a certain thing like buying preferred seats, upgrade, preference for a certain type of meal,” Wilson said. “Airlines have the pleasure and the pain of having massive amounts of data, but to get insight from that data, then translate it through to a delivery mechanism in an airline context is also not as easy as in other industries. ”

Even Iberia’s Sansavini said it could be awhile before airlines match Amazon or other sophisticated retailers. Those companies often are solely focused on e-commerce, he noted, while airlines are essentially transportation businesses.

“We are not designed as an airline to provide truly individual experiences,” he said. “We are sort of a factory that serves millions of passengers.”

Using data to vary prices

If airlines ever hone their personalization programs, many insiders see a logistical next step — carriers may vary prices according to how much their systems think a passenger will pay.

Take Alejandro, the Iberia customer hoping to visit Bilbao. An airline should know whether Alejandro is a 22-year-old college student who usually buys the cheapest tickets, or a 50-year old father who often flies in business class. The airline could offer different prices depending on what it knows about Alejandro.

But most airlines are not there yet.

“The issue is that our revenue management systems are not sophisticated enough to take into account the individual profile,” Iberia’s Sansavini said. “They work based on segments. The issue is, how much will technology be able to evolve? Ideally, you’d like to get to a segment of one person. That’s ultimately what our aspiration is.”

British Airways CEO Alex Cruz has a similar view. He told Skift in November that the current way industry pricing strategy is “not survivable.” (His airline is owned by International Airlines Group, the same company that controls Iberia.)

“We’ve been talking about being able to walk up to McDonald’s and a Coke costs [a] different [price] at any time of the day,” Cruz said. “Ultimately, a Coke is going to cost different if it’s you or I that goes up to the counter. I think pricing is going to go in that direction. In the beginning, [the company] will be able to know who we are, where we are, [and] what sort of need we have. How much are we really willing to pay for the ticket?”

Still, not everyone is sure airlines will take it so far. Boxever’s O’Connor said he suspects airlines will sharpen pricing schemes, but he said airlines probably won’t sell the same package at the same time for two different prices, because that approach would irritate customers.

But an airline could use what it knows about customers to promote either a higher priced or lower priced package, he said. If Iberia knew a customer preferred business class, the airline might try to hide its cheaper fares, or put them at the bottom of a list.

“Changing the price for a particular person has been discussed but hasn’t been done,” O’Connor said. “There has been talk about showing only certain options based on our likes. It might be a higher price for your because based on data analytics the airline knows you usually prefer a certain time or a certain class. That’s probably the fairest way to do it. You’re not manipulating the customer. You are just putting the most applicable fare in front of them, and they can choose a cheaper fare if they want it.”

Iberia’s Sansavini said he knows airlines cannot use data about customers to charge them higher prices every time.

“Personalization is about two things,” Sansavini said. “One is about having the right offer at the right moment. But the other is having the relationship where the customer trusts to give you all the information because they believe that will help us treat you better.”

Lufthansa’s Casey said airlines must be transparent. That’s important to Lufthansa, because German privacy laws require customers opt-in before airlines can access to most data. But if customers feel they’re being cheated, they might not give permission.

Casey said Lufthansa could change how it charges for lounge access. Today, when a customer enters the terminal in Munich, Lufthansa’s data engine makes a simple decision, asking whether the customer might want lounge access and whether the lounge has room. In that case, the price is always the same — 25 Euros. But what if it’s snowing, and the customer’s flight is delayed by four hours? In that situation, many flights are likely delayed, so the lounge is probably busy.

Now, Lufthansa might tell the customer the lounge is full. But what if Lufthansa thought in terms of surge pricing? Perhaps, this time, the price would be 50 Euros.

“If you’re open with the reasoning behind it then you can do these things,” Casey said. “I think you need to be as transparent as possible to the customer. You can do it just as Uber does it. They say, now we have heavy demand. It’s raining in New York. There are no cabs. Are you willing to pay double? Maybe with the lounge, you can say, ‘There’s heavy demand to go into the lounge right now.'”

Casey said he fears travelers may object to paying different prices according to factors outside their control. But he noted airlines have been practicing price discrimination, in some form, for decades.

“If you’re trying to be opaque that might hurt you,” Casey said. “But then again, the aviation industry has proven be able to sell three different products on the plane at 10,000 price levels.”
