My name is David Daniel Ball I'm a teacher with three decades experience teaching math to high school kids.I also work with first graders and kids in between first grade and high school. I know the legends of why Hypatia's dad is remembered through his contribution to Math theory. And I know the legend of why followers of Godel had thought he had disproved God's existence.
I'm not a preacher, but I am a Christian who has written over 28 books all of which include some reference to my faith. Twelve blog books on world history and current affairs, detailing world events , births and marriages on each day of the year, organised by month. Twelve books on the background to and history of Bible Quotes. One Bible quote per day for a year. An intro to a science fiction series I'm planning, post apocalyptic cyber punk. An autobiography with short story collections.
I'm known in Australia for my failure as a whistleblower over the negligence death of a school boy. I had reported the issue responsibly and had not known I'd blown the whistle. The embarrassed left wing government had responded by imposition of a nationwide ban on the use of peanut butter in canteens, despite failing to address the issue of peanut allergy appropriately.
I've been de-platformed on Facebook and twitter despite not being an activist. Twitter did not like me asking for Obama to face justice in 2011. FB gave no specific reason for removing me following Jan 6th 2021 in Washington DC where a policeman killed an unarmed woman, so a crowd would know he was in control.
A successful withdrawal was what was engineered at Gallipolli, where, over three days troops pulled out of defended positions and left on ships .. nobody died. That was war. Nobody was left behind. Because of the failure, WW1 was prolonged another two and a half years, Russia collapsed etc etc. The price of failure was big. But the retreat was a success. In contrast, Biden's retreat was utter failure in Afghanistan.
Editorial on Covid policy failure
It is apparent COVID policy is political, not health related. However health advice has been political and not health related. Public health has been corrupted. Media has failed. Judiciary is corrupt. Defence is incompetent. The thin blue line has been cut. And, elder abuse is apparent from the Presidential office through to the ordinary NYC retirement home. On the plus side, there is an emerging possibility of an empty gesture securing the white house for womyn on behalf of one raised in Canada. Dan Andrews' lockdown has cancelled AA meetings. Go the beers. Playgrounds have been shut down state wide and even a curfew has been re-imposed. There is no science showing any such measure addresses COVID, but we know it allows the government to assert authority.

Editorial Biden's Afghan failure culminated from Obama's Afghan lies
Afghanistan is in flames as Biden begins bombing runs on terrorists as he seeks to negotiate with them. US soldiers have been killed after a strategic error left an exposed airport the only means of Americans and their allies to flee. Biden says those that remained behind wanted to, after fleeing Afghans clinging to a wing and fuselage of an aircraft plummet to their deaths. After Biden had said the Afghan government would stand following US withdrawal. US left behind billions of dollars of weapons Chicago gangs look on with shock and awe. The Taliban will not use a fleet of Blackhawk helicopters. China will.
So who is responsible for the failure? According to Biden, the buck stops with him, and he views it as a Dunkirk like success, when he is not looking at his watch waiting for mourning to end of soldiers that died in his service. Biden also feels any mistake was made by Donald Trump as NK begins nuclear weapons work. The US military have included critical junior officers in their lists of personal pronouns for enemies. What is a personal pronoun for a failed President?
Editorial on God In answer to Dinesh Dsousa's article
The God the atheists refute is not real, but is a ridiculous, impossible figure. God is real. God as He is revealed in the Bible is a fact. However, as ridiculous as the atheists arguments are, they are instructive. God made a bridge He could not cross (man's rejection of Him). God bridged that gap with Jesus. Thing is, atheists don't believe that that gap is real.
In my Sermon on a Miracle I describe how God gave a childless woman who could not bear children, prayed for children, family. He did that. And he did not use supernatural measures.
God is real. God does the impossible. God is not subject to our demands. God answers prayer. Sometimes bad people prosper for a time. All those statements are true.
God is worthy of praise. Atheists don't see it, but they have countless examples of it, from their own lives to the works of those they admire. In the Revelations of the Holy Spirit I underscore and outline some of what God does that even atheists call for.
We need god, but even in a world without God, there is a need for Him.
If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

Malcolm Turnbull humiliating people he blames for his incompetence will only hasten his political end. It is true that the behaviour of some members is graceless and unbecoming. Turnbull is their role model. And Shorten has shown he has not the talent to capitalise on Turnbull's mistake. Instead, Shorten tried to hurt Australia's economy. It was equivalent to Shorten's tactic of getting his own people booted from the lower house and blaming the speaker. Shorten will be lauded as being a spoiler, but not as a leader. Only Tony Abbott can heal what Turnbull tore apart.

Scott Morrison deserves a chance as PM. Malcolm Turnbull is in New York, asking for privacy. But Turnbull has spitefully engaged himself in undermining Scott Morrison's government. In fact Turnbull is no different now to when he was in parliament. It has been leaked Turnbull was desperately poised to spend billions of dollars more in a bribe of Catholic Schools having taken the money from them while splurging on vote buying. Not to be outdone, Bill Shorten has announced ALP will give away $174 million to promote education in disadvantaged communities where he has damaged schools and libraries with ridiculous policy. Only the damage done with safe schools gender dysphoria and awful Gonski cash throw aways is Australia wide, and not restricted. Peter Dutton faces a political stunt of a confidence vote inspired by Turnbull's spite.
A daily column on what the ALP have as a policy, supported by a local member, and how it has 'helped' the local community. I'll stop if I cannot identify a policy. Feel free to make suggestions. Contact me on FB, not twitter. I have twitter, but never look at it.
Gabrielle Williams was appointed Parliamentary Secretary for Carers and Volunteers, working with the Minister for Housing, Disability and Ageing and the Minister for Families and Children. Williams was given those titles when elected in 2014. It is difficult to find what value she has been to Dandenong, but clearly the ALP see her as the future. In a desperate move, Andrews has smeared Matthew Guy by publishing 80000 pages of confidential documents relating to Guy's tenure as planning minister. It is not Wikileaks. There is nothing in it, but smear. Guy made a decision as planning minister to pay out $3.5 million to prevent a much bigger pay out. It was involved with a decision reversal over Ventnor on Phillip Island. Something that can happen in government. The decision to release the documents is what is desperate, and very stupid. Guy has pointed out any future government could release documents on any of the questionable activities of Andrews' government. Would you like to see Andrews' decision making on gender dysphoria in schools related to safe schools? Or, on policing decisions related to not arresting rioters? Or, on policing declarations relating to ethnic gangs? Or, on not building the East West link? Or on the decision to build sky rail? Or on not building deeper tunnels for Yarra's metro-link rail? Or, on housing new migrants in Melbourne? Or on new taxes on established family businesses, forcing them out of Melbourne? Or, on preventing maintenance of country roads? Or, on spending on desalinated water? Or, on power plant decision making?
Monica Lewinsky has stormed off a stage, still a victim. Nike backs a loser. QLD Premier is in trouble for corruption over KAP staffing. There is little hatred stronger than that by people on the same side, as Penberthy finds with Rudd. Penberthy is still trying to justify his backing Rudd over Howard. Incidentally, Howard's promise to step down mid term was a result of Turnbull leaks aimed at destabilising the Libs. Turnbull is hurting the Libs now, as he did then.
From my article on Quora
Everything I do as a teacher is deliberate, and mostly wrong. And when I see others teach I can get hyper critical. Not because I’m nasty and hate people, but because I know my thoughts, and am only privy to the thoughts of others by behavioural associations.
I’m a talker, and a facilitator. I want my students to take control of their learning, not to be lock step with some imposed regimen they ignore the moment my back is turned. However, some teachers excel using a lock step method. Lock step gets results. Remember, more work is done than what a teacher directs. Teachers are responsible for much, and mainly achieve it by default. Sometimes it is not about what I do, but what I don’t do.
It is not about what I do, but what my students do. I’ve kept in touch with students throughout my career, and it is a blessing to see them grow. Some have families and careers and do all manner of wonderful things. My teaching style is aimed at that. I never want to block that.

In a desperate move, Andrews has smeared Matthew Guy by publishing 80000 pages of confidential documents relating to Guy's tenure as planning minister. It is not Wikileaks. There is nothing in it, but smear. Guy made a decision as planning minister to pay out $3.5 million to prevent a much bigger pay out. It was involved with a decision reversal over Ventnor on Phillip Island. Something that can happen in government. The decision to release the documents is what is desperate, and very stupid. Guy has pointed out any future government could release documents on any of the questionable activities of Andrews' government. Would you like to see Andrews' decision making on gender dysphoria in schools related to safe schools? Or, on policing decisions related to not arresting rioters? Or, on policing declarations relating to ethnic gangs? Or, on not building the East West link? Or on the decision to build sky rail? Or on not building deeper tunnels for Yarra's metro-link rail? Or, on housing new migrants in Melbourne? Or on new taxes on established family businesses, forcing them out of Melbourne? Or, on preventing maintenance of country roads? Or, on spending on desalinated water? Or, on power plant decision making?
As part of the November 24th Vic election campaign I have a petition I want to bring before the Opposition Leader Matthew Guy. I believe Matthew will be the next premier of Victoria and so I am petitioning him as I raise the issues of Employment, Crime and Education in Dandenong. I am also seeking money for my campaign. I don't have party resources, and so my campaign is on foot, and on the internet. Any money I receive that is not spent on the campaign will go to Grow 4 Life. I am asking questions like "What do you love about Dandenong?" and "If you could change something in Dandenong to make it better, what would it be?" I'm not limiting the questions to state issues. I'm happy to discuss anything, and get things done.

Some things should not happen, but they do. It is Father's Day and I am blessed by my daughter. She has a three month internship with a small accountancy firm. It will be particularly rough on her to not do paid work during regular hours in that time. She needs to have accommodation, food and the necessities, and being a foreign student with ambitions of being Australian, there is no safety net. But she completed a degree under equally challenging circumstances, and I know she is up to this challenge. I am proud of her. Internships are important. When she proves her worth, I'm sure they'll pay her well.
I don't know how long I'll have my tele sales job for the world's best children's picture book company. But I want to list a few thoughts regarding the industry. We market to libraries and schools Australia wide, and are keen to expand. We have a limited range of industry leading stock, new releases, library quality sourced from the best UK publishers. UK have a big market allowing these books to be as cheap as we can sell them for the quality. We could source from India, China or some such, but we care about content too, and the UK books meet (or exceed) Australian standards. We also sidelight in non fiction and children's readers, but our main selling point is the new release library quality children's picture books. We sell boxes of 40 different books. We are so confident that the recipients will love them, we don't charge for delivery, and if for some reason they aren't wanted, we allow them to be repackaged and sent back to us at our cost. We sell them at wholesale prices.
There is every reason to love and treasure the books, but selling is a challenge. We have contacts, but can only normally contact during school business hours. That is not always appreciated by school or library receptionists, directors, literacy coordinators or Principals who get busy during those times, but aren't prepared to set time outside those times to hear a pitch. And prevailing attitudes sometimes get in the way. Like buying Australian or locally produced goods. I love Australia, but the market does not support the same quality the UK offers at our wholesale prices. Hardbacks are fancier and cost more, we don't stock them because they don't last as well for the extra cost. One potential client asked me "So why should I buy your books and not another Australian one?" My unvoiced retort was that if you don't buy from us, you are short changing yourself or your clients. Because our books are best quality and cheapest for that quality. So if you get other books, as you may, then you are paying more for something worth less. You will probably be paying for their shop, for their cheaper product which costs more. Even Australian publishers often print overseas and ship back to Australia. Our firm in Dandenong IS Australian.
One potential client said "I got your email. I didn't read it. We aren't interested this year or the next." Another said "Are you trying to sell to me?" "Yes, but .." (They hanged up). It is ok that potential clients are not competent and unwilling to see a great deal. Sometimes schools and libraries don't need to buy books as they have stock, or are in crisis. Children still read children's picture books, even though many young people also access tablets and electronic devices. Our books also make great gifts. One of our reader sets are the Shakespeare collection rewritten with pictures and language a child can understand, but with the famous quotes too. Don't believe me? Check out learningdiscovery.com.au
I'm thinking of discussing this with senior politicians. I don't want executive orders or legislation mandating the book purchases, but I feel the networks would like to know of the product. I welcome thoughts from readers.

Tomorrow is Father's Day in Australia. Andrew Bolt is signing books in Melbourne. I hope to get him to sign a few. And I hope to give him one of mine. I like that Bolt stands for freedom. Bolt champions the oppressed. Something only good people do.
Malcolm Turnbull humiliating people he blames for his incompetence will only hasten his political end. It is true that the behaviour of some members is graceless and unbecoming. Turnbull is their role model. And Shorten has shown he has not the talent to capitalise on Turnbull's mistake. Instead, Shorten tried to hurt Australia's economy. It was equivalent to Shorten's tactic of getting his own people booted from the lower house and blaming the speaker. Shorten will be lauded as being a spoiler, but not as a leader. Only Tony Abbott can heal what Turnbull tore apart.
For some, at the moment, the Sex Party has more credibility.

Mr Abbott makes the sensible claim that IS are unashamed of their atrocities, unlike the Nazis who hid their atrocities. His jihadist #Abbottphobia enemies hysterically declare he was wrong to claim that jihadists were the same as Nazis. But that was not what he said. But just as the left didn't oppose Nazis until they attacked the Soviet Union, they struggle to oppose Jihadis today. Nikki Savva also undermining Mr Abbott.

It is a simple question deserving a detailed response. The ICAC investigated Angela D'Amore, a sister in law to Joe Tripodi and found insufficient evidence of corruption to convict her of wrong doing. But she had hired electoral officers through her parliamentary office. She had been Chair of the Committee on the office of Ombudsman and Police Integrity. Later she was Secretary assisting the Police Minister. She should have known better. It isn't as if a large family network headed by an ALP minister had not profited from similar corrupt practice obtaining over half a billion dollars. The ALP defended Angela. What benefit was there for the ALP to forgive Angela and not allow her to face justice? What about Tripodi? Yet Tripodi can oppose an ALP candidate and still have the ear of another ALP Minister? There is a fracture in the legal process when giving money to a Liberal is corrupt, but giving money to the ALP is not. In Victoria the return of Shaw to the Parliament following suspension was supposed to be punctuated with an apology from him, which Napthine prescribed as fulsome. And it was. So Napthine has foreshadowed he would call for Shaw's expulsion from Parliament, which the ALP previously called for. But now the ALP are opposing what they had called for. Making a parliament on a knife edge a joke.
ISIS has beheaded another and has claimed a third is going to die too. The video is confronting, with the same executioner with a London accent. The video names events so as to suggest it was made after the previous video was released. In Australia this has prompted Greens to demand that Terrorists not be called terrorists. Greens are concerned at the demonising of terrorists, as if cutting the heads off captives obtained by deception over a year ago wasn't demonic. The misnaming of things is hard to defend against. One US youth wishes to wear make up for an ID photo, only that is not allowed. Authorities can manipulate ID photos that are natural to identify people wearing make up, but they cannot adjust make up images to predict what a person might change their looks to. So the youth is suing for the right to have an ID photo with make up because they mistake the photo for being a sales pitch for their gender identity. They have full rights to their gender identity, but the state has a basic need to be able to identify them without make up. Further on identity, a man complaining that he hasn't been fed fled his Ebola camp where he was detained for a market which had food. It was a threat to the local population who did not have Ebola. Finally the UN restrained the hungry man and trucked him back. The truck was marked UNICEF. How might the Greens respond if they were told the UN were detaining and forcefully restraining youths, and not feeding them?
For the Greens, good is bad and bad is good, and one Green acolyte is Robyn (100m) Williams who did not commit suicide with his body, but intellectually diminishes himself holding onto hysterical fear mongering statements he has made. Rotherham revelations include British Labour Party censuring members who attempted to defend victims by abusing multicultural policy positions. Ukraine has agreed to a cease fire over a fight she initiated. CFMEU video shows members and leaders abusing Fair Work Australia officials through stand over tactics and harassment, exceeding provisions Gillard created to shield them from prosecution for such. Federal ALP surrender the agenda to PUP over passing blocked legislation, and Shorten complains when he could have participated. Luckily for the ALP, PUP are fractured and had a fractured dance at an Ice Bucket challenge. Also, it turns out China will forgo $12 million to exact justice from Palmer for the alleged theft.
Bulletin Boards have advantages over simple blogging as Wikileaks and 4Chan demonstrate. ALP pushed for restrictions on free speech which these bulletin boards are not entirely subject to, through anonymity. Although anonymity means little to four youths enjoying a car ride punctuated by a tree in country NSW, all dead and a country area in mourning for the lost. Cars are not fun toys, as an elderly man found out shortly before accelerating into a dance studio. The car is being investigated for mechanical issues. No deaths at the moment, but one child is in critical care. The elderly man has apologised. The ABC told a sex joke about the PM's mother. One expects a long delay, followed by a fulsome apology from the ABC.

From 2013
On the issue of the coming Australian election, Rudd has stood up for what he believes in and declared he, like any Christian in his mind, loves the world. I note the Bible has this
If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. John 15:19
Also
“If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even their own life—such a person cannot be my disciple. Luke 14:26
This is not to say there is no truth in what Rudd said, only that the point is finer than he seems capable of understanding or conveying to an audience. Christians are not to judge Gay peoples or anyone else. Marriage is religious and should, in my opinion, be in the domain of churches, not states. If a church wishes to marry gay peoples, let them. But don't force them. The state's sole duty as regards marriage is the property laws regarding civil union.
Of course, none of this has much to do with the Australian election. Except Rudd brow beat a Christian Pastor on the issue on QandA. It might be cheering for Jason Clare who has told me as recently as 2007 that he was raised as an Atheist. Rudd has also said other things that are subsequently found to be wrong or stupid or simple lies. He said that he never called people, who are complex, as simplified diminutions as 'Good' or 'Bad' but Channel 9 followed that statement on the 6 pm news last night with 2003 footage of Rudd doing exactly that in parliament, referring to then Foreign Minister Downer on Darfur. It is as if the mentally ill Rudd who is Zelig like in addressing an audience off the cuff cannot tell the truth.
The NYT has sprung to Rudd's aid, misinterpreting the election favourable, but inexplicably failing to account for why the allegedly negative and aggressive Mr Abbott would be more popular than Rudd. Apparently it is all Col Allen's fault. Maybe Col is making Rudd lie so he can report him?
On the US/Middle East front, Obama is dithering. Russia has detected the launch of missiles from the Mediterranean to the Middle East. No report of any hits.
We are entering the Jewish New Year. I wish the sweetest of blessings to all my friends celebrating it.

View today's reading on Bible Gateway
Today's Old Testament reading: Psalm 137-139
1 By the rivers of Babylon we sat and wept
when we remembered Zion.
2 There on the poplars
we hung our harps,
3 for there our captors asked us for songs,
our tormentors demanded songs of joy;
they said, "Sing us one of the songs of Zion!"
4 How can we sing the songs of the LORD
while in a foreign land?
5 If I forget you, Jerusalem,
may my right hand forget its skill.
6 May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth
if I do not remember you,
if I do not consider Jerusalem
my highest joy....
while in a foreign land?
5 If I forget you, Jerusalem,
may my right hand forget its skill.
6 May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth
if I do not remember you,
if I do not consider Jerusalem
my highest joy....
Today's New Testament reading: 1 Corinthians 13
1 If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Morning
Very interesting is this little peep into the house of the Apostolic Fisherman. We see at once that household joys and cares are no hindrance to the full exercise of ministry, nay, that since they furnish an opportunity for personally witnessing the Lord's gracious work upon one's own flesh and blood, they may even instruct the teacher better than any other earthly discipline. Papists and other sectaries may decry marriage, but true Christianity and household life agree well together. Peter's house was probably a poor fisherman's hut, but the Lord of Glory entered it, lodged in it, and wrought a miracle in it. Should our little book be read this morning in some very humble cottage, let this fact encourage the inmates to seek the company of King Jesus. God is oftener in little huts than in rich palaces. Jesus is looking round your room now, and is waiting to be gracious to you. Into Simon's house sickness had entered, fever in a deadly form had prostrated his mother-in-law, and as soon as Jesus came they told him of the sad affliction, and he hastened to the patient's bed. Have you any sickness in the house this morning? You will find Jesus by far the best physician, go to him at once and tell him all about the matter. Immediately lay the case before him. It concerns one of his people, and therefore will not be trivial to him. Observe, that at once the Saviour restored the sick woman; none can heal as he does. We may not make sure that the Lord will at once remove all disease from those we love, but we may know that believing prayer for the sick is far more likely to be followed by restoration than anything else in the world; and where this avails not, we must meekly bow to his will by whom life and death are determined. The tender heart of Jesus waits to hear our griefs, let us pour them into his patient ear.
Evening
A craving after marvels was a symptom of the sickly state of men's minds in our Lord's day; they refused solid nourishment, and pined after mere wonder. The gospel which they so greatly needed they would not have; the miracles which Jesus did not always choose to give they eagerly demanded. Many nowadays must see signs and wonders, or they will not believe. Some have said in their heart, "I must feel deep horror of soul, or I never will believe in Jesus." But what if you never should feel it, as probably you never may? Will you go to hell out of spite against God, because he will not treat you like another? One has said to himself, "If I had a dream, or if I could feel a sudden shock of I know not what, then I would believe." Thus you undeserving mortals dream that my Lord is to be dictated to by you! You are beggars at his gate, asking for mercy, and you must needs draw up rules and regulations as to how he shall give that mercy. Think you that he will submit to this? My Master is of a generous spirit, but he has a right royal heart, he spurns all dictation, and maintains his sovereignty of action. Why, dear reader, if such be your case, do you crave for signs and wonders? Is not the gospel its own sign and wonder? Is not this a miracle of miracles, that "God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him might not perish"? Surely that precious word, "Whosoever will, let him come and take the water of life freely" and that solemn promise, "Him that cometh unto me, I will in no wise cast out," are better than signs and wonders! A truthful Saviour ought to be believed. He is truth itself. Why will you ask proof of the veracity of One who cannot lie? The devils themselves declared him to be the Son of God; will you mistrust him?

I am a decent man and don't care for the abuse given me. I created a video raising awareness of anti police feeling among western communities. I chose the senseless killing of Nicola Cotton, a Louisiana policewoman who joined post Katrina, to highlight the issue. I did this in order to get an income after having been illegally blacklisted from work in NSW for being a whistleblower. I have not done anything wrong. Local council appointees refused to endorse my work, so I did it for free. Youtube's Adsence refused to allow me to profit from their marketing it. Meanwhile, I am hostage to abysmal political leadership and hopeless journalists. My shopfront has opened on Facebook.

I am publishing a book called Bread of Life: January.
Bread of Life is a daily bible quote with a layman's understanding of the meaning. I give one quote for each day, and also a series of personal stories illustrating key concepts eg Who is God? What is a miracle? Why is there tragedy?
January is the first of the anticipated year-long work of thirteen books. One for each month and the whole year. It costs to publish. It (Kindle version) should retail at about $2US online, but the paperback version would cost more, according to production cost.If you have a heart for giving, I fundraise at gofund.me/27tkwuc (Gofundme finished the fund raiser, 2017)
