    The Night Shift

    Chaim Yankel needed a job and no one was hiring in Chelm so he applied for a job in the city as a night watchman at a factory. There had been a lot of thefts by the workers on the night shift, and so every morning when the night shift workers passed through his gate, it was Chaim Yankel’s job to check their bags and pockets to make sure that nothing was being stolen. Things were going along very well the first night on the job until a man pushing a wheelbarrow of newspaper came through his gate. Aha, Chaim Yankel thought, that man thinks he can cover up what he is stealing with that newspaper. So Chaim Yankel removed the paper only to find nothing. Still he felt that the man was acting strangely, so he questioned him about the paper. "I get a little extra money from newspapers I recycle, so I go into the lunchroom and pick up all the ones people have thrown away." Chaim Yankel let him pass, but he decided to keep a close eye on him. The next night it was the same, and the night after that. Week after week it went on. The same guy would push the wheelbarrow of newspapers past Chaim Yankel’s checkpoint. Chaim Yankel would always check and find nothing. Then one night, about a year later, Chaim Yankel reported for work only to find a message had been left for him telling him to report to his supervisor. He walked into the supervisor's office and before he could say a word, the boss said, "You're fired!" "Fired?" Chaim Yankel asked in total surprise. "Why? What did I do?" "It was your job to make sure that no one stole anything from this plant, and you have failed. So you're fired." "Wait a minute – what do you mean failed? Nobody ever stole anything from this place while I was on guard." "Oh, really," the boss answered. "Then how do you account for the fact that there are 365 wheelbarrows missing?"

    Who's fooling who?

    HCH: I was wrong to say you were selling your books and owe you an apology. I meant to say you constantly promoting your writings. We all know you have written books and I feel that the forum has kindly allowing you this special section. I can not say for the others I do not agree with what you are implying here so I sadly do not feel that your books will make the difference. It all the same thing! I feel that what is written by you here is in your books. Maybe should have presented part of your writings in here, but being honest I don't think it would be any different. You make out that Islam especially Iran is the evil foe. When did they rule and change YAHWEH Times and Law? Iran symbol do not relate a lamblike creature. Islam can late on the scene and it was never an empire like Assyria, Epyt, Babylon, Persia, Greece and Rome and even papal Rome. The Ottoman empire came later in time. Nebuchadnezzar saw from Neo-Babylon to Rome there were no Islamic religion during that time. It came even after Christianity was already sprung! Christianity is cohesive and Islam is not they have always fought each other since Mohammed died! They are not even together now! They kill more each then the Christians have. Yemen is a wreck because Saudi Arabia is against Iran and they all are like that even now in Afrika. Afrika Islam respected women like in the original religion. They are going to die out because they keep killing each other! That's why the Bible said the River Euphrates will dry up to prepare the way for the east! It is talking about the People and that's what happening more and more today and when the time come it will dried up! Now the Bible tells clearly what will take place and will need to follow its historical guide. Well if I err you have not proven it by the Bible, it only comes from your mouth. Especially because I differ with you. I admit I did say sell instead of promote and I am humble and truly sorry for that! But I will stand for truth against your concept. Well let's see my mother was at one time a Republican and I think I can read about each party and choose how to vote! I know the Republican party use to believe in immigrants, family and they said love because they do accept homosexuals! I know they used to be the southern Democrat party and not the ever the party of Lincoln! I know that Pence is not going to become President! He is not President material he is a very weak person. That's why Trump pick him and his first Attorney General. But even though Session is racist, he still had some ethics and shocked the gbee out of Trump. He thought he could control him like Pence. To me you would have been better picking Steve Miller! That man is dangerous even more so then Trump and he is using Trump! That's who I am watching! So you watch Pence, while I watch Miller and let's see who know something about the Republican party some what shall we! Blessings HCH! I just like to know what world are you living in? No other President Caged children like Trump. Even during WWII the Japanese who were treated badly were never treated like this! This IS A FORM OF CHATTEL SLAVERY! History repeats itself! Please state where they trash white people as you claim! I would love to read those articles, do they call them s---hole, or rat infested no tell me what have they called these white people! Hey check this out if you brave enough too and then get back with me. https://go.cnn.com/?stream=cnn%3Fsr Joe's story of his life is truly sad so are the Kennedy's! However the chosen one you just keep looking up to him. That's your choice and you have that right and my right is to listen not to any party but to my FATHER in Heaven's Law: to love your neighbor as yourself! That also mean you too Photdude! Love Ya! Blessings!

    Trivia

    5 Fun Facts About ATM Machines On September 2, 1969, the first automatic teller machine was opened to the public at Chemical Bank in Rockville Centre, New York. Explore the following fun facts about ATM machines. The ATM Machine Was Invented in 1939 Luther George Simjian invented the first machine that could dispense cash back in 1939, and the first dispenser was placed at the City Bank of New York to see how well the public responded to it. Customers in this early day were leery about using the newfangled gadget, so the machine was removed six months later. Simjian reportedly said that only gamblers and prostitutes were willing to use it because they didn’t want to deal with a face-to-face transaction with one of the tellers. The Machines Originally Only Took Deposits Apparently, banks were the only real benefactors of the early ATM machines because customers could make a deposit, but a machine to dispense cash hadn’t been invented yet. John Shepherd-Barron, a British inventor, came up with the idea of a machine to dispense cash back in the 1960s; and Barclay bank, based in London, liked the idea well enough to become its first purchaser. ATM Machines Didn’t Start Becoming Common Until 1973 It wasn’t until the early 1970s that ATMs became more common, and clients didn’t have to rush to their local bank during lunch hour to cash a check or make a deposit. The early ATMs came at a hefty price tag for banks to buy at about $162,000 apiece. The price for an ATM machine has dropped considerably -- they can be purchased now for less than $3,000. Users Were Robbed by Using a Fake ATM in Connecticut In 1993, The Bucklands Boys, a gang of criminals, installed a counterfeit ATM at a Manchester, Connecticut, shopping mall. They used the information supplied by customers from their cards to steal $100,000 before they were caught. It took weeks to find the gang members, but authorities tracked them down because they did not pay the bills they owed for the equipment they bought to build the fake machine. Not All ATMs Distribute Money While most ATMs can be used to distribute money, in Abu Dhabi at the Emirates Palace hotel and in 20 other locations, the customer puts in money and it dispenses their choice of more 320 gold items. In India, ATMs have a more practical use -- machines can distribute water to customers where clean water is in short supply.

    Problem is, you are watching a program where people try to guess what happened and what conditions were like before the flood. People, even creationists, can get arrogant about what they think happened long age and often will not consider anything that goes against their ideas. Before the flood, there was it never rained. So, "watering" the plant life was accomplished in ways we today have no idea how it was accomplished. The Bible just says the "fountains of the deep were broken up." I find that somethings should just be taken as stated, especially were the Bible states it, and leave it at that!

    5 Things You Didn't Know About World War II_4 On September 1, 1939, World War II began as an estimated 1.5 million German troops crossed Germany's shared border with Poland. Here are 5 things you never knew about the turbulent years that shook the entire world... Adolf Hitler Had a Nephew in the U.S. Navy William Patrick Hitler was the Fuhrer’s nephew and son of his half-brother Alois Hitler. William and his mother moved to Germany after being abandoned by Alois. The young man’s uncle found him several jobs, but they had a falling out when the younger Hitler reportedly tried to blackmail his uncle. William Hitler moved to America, became a citizen and served in the U.S. Navy during the war, following which he legally changed his name to William Patrick Stuart-Houston. The Russians Lost the Highest Number of Soldiers The Battle of Stalingrad not only had the largest number of casualties during the war, but the Soviet Union had far more losses than the other countries involved. The Battle of Stalingrad continued from July 1942 through to February 1943 as the Germans attempted and failed to capture the city. The final death toll for Soviet military and civilian casualties caused by the war is estimated at around 24 million, while German casualties are estimated at up to 8.8 million. One Battle Lasted the Entire War Even history buffs may not realize that the Battle of the Atlantic was ongoing from September 1939 to May 1945, which was the entire length of the war. For the whole six-year period, the Germans battled against the British Royal Navy, the U.S. Navy, the Royal Canadian Navy and merchant ships in an attempt to disrupt the transport of goods and destroy Allied ships. The battle did not end until Germany surrendered on May 7, 1945. The Last American Serviceman to Die Did so in His Parent’s Homeland Charley Havlat was a private first class from Nebraska whose parents were Czech immigrants. He was shipped to Czechoslovakia and was serving there on May 7, 1945, when he was killed as his platoon faced enemy fire from a machine gun. The German officer leading the ambush and the Allied platoon did not know that just nine minutes prior, a ceasefire had begun, effectively ending the war. Around 425,000 Soldiers Died or Were Wounded on D-Day D-Day marked the Allied invasion in Europe on June 6, 1944, and is still the biggest land, air and naval operation that was ever conducted. At Normandy, more than 104,000 troops arrived at the beachheads, while 20,000 paratroopers landed in France, which was Nazi-occupied. Although hundreds of thousands of both Allied and German soldiers were killed or wounded during the D-Day invasion, it was the turning point that led to an Allied victory.
