Despite a warning from law enforcement that they face prosecution, British fuel protestors have vowed to keep a go-slow convoy going today on some of the nation’s busiest roads.
According to published reports, the government has been trying hard to avoid a repeat of protests that practically shut down the country in September and has promised to get tough if fuel supplies are threatened by the demonstrators.
Police leaflets were handed out to protestors this week that said: "Any driver that cannot maintain normal road speed will be safely removed. Failure to comply will make drivers liable to prosecution."
Truckers, farmers and other groups have been demanding big cuts in fuel taxes, and seem committed to the convoy that spreads from Newcastle in Northern England to London.
People's Fuel Lobby chairman David Handley said he and his colleagues, who want the tax cuts by Nov. 13, had a democratic right to protest. "Is this is a democratic country or is this now turning into a police state?" he asked.
London police have set up an exclusion zone around their city to prevent the convoy from entering the city center. According to published reports, the motorcade of trucks will be stopped when it reached the M25 motorway circling the capital.
About 50 vehicles are taking part in the 280-mile journey, far fewer than predicted by organizers.
A police spokeswoman said the exclusion order affected goods vehicles which were not on bona fide business. The ban was legal under the provisions of the Metropolitan Police Act of 1939, which gave protection to parliament, when it was in session, from disruptive demonstrations, reports said.
The stakes are high for both Prime Minister Tony Blair and the protesters, according to news reports. The September protests dealt a sharp blow to the popularity of the ruling Labor Party, which fell behind the Conservatives in opinion polls for the first time since the 1997 general election. | 2019-04-25T17:13:36 | https://www.truckinginfo.com/88574/uk-fuel-protesters-vow-to-keep-go-slow-convoy-moving |
Exercise, by walking, swimming, jogging, biking, or even gardening, at least 30 minutes each day.
Maintain a good posture when walking, sitting, and even when sleeping. Don’t slouch – sit in a balanced and neutral position to avoid straining your spine. Sleep on a mattress that doesn’t slouch, maintaining, even while you sleep, the same natural spinal alignment that you have when standing, allowing muscles to relax.
Maintain a healthy weight. Excessive weight can strain the spine, causing it to wear out.
Lift properly by bending from the knees. Instead of bending from the back and twisting while lifting objects, hold the objects close to your body, with your legs apart, tightening the abdominal muscles, and keeping the object being lifted close to the body.
Strengthen your spine while you do household chores: When washing the dishes, use the sink to stabilize yourself so you can stand on one leg for about 30 seconds, alternating legs, and building strength in the core muscles of the lower back and abdomen. When vacuuming, avoid bending and pushing; instead, stand upright with your chest pushed out, and with your legs, rather than your back, moving forward and backward.
What you do in bed matters – when you lift your head to watch TV or to read in bed, your muscles contract, causing back pain. Instead, place pillows under the small part of your back and behind your neck so that you don’t cause an unnatural position for your spine by slouching, which may cause back pain the next morning.
Get up! Too much bed rest can weaken your back muscles and cause loss of flexibility.
Don’t sit in one position for too long; take breaks and change positions frequently.
Cross ‘em! Cross your legs, alternating, if you sit for a few hours (such as at school, in a theatre, or in a doctor’s waiting room), to move and stretch the back and hip muscles.
Where’s your wallet? Men are advised to stop sitting with the wallet in the back pocket, as the position can eventually cause chronic pain.
Just say “NO!” to lifting heavy weights.
Make sure that your computer screen is at eye level. Sit with your back straight, don’t slump, and don’t curve your spine too much. Stretch often to get your circulation flowing better.

Yet no specific way of worship has been prescribed by the Shari'ah in this month. However, some people have invented some special rituals or practices in this month, which are not supported by reliable resources of the Shari'ah or are based on some unauthentic traditions.
We would like to explain here the correct position about them.
Being mindful of this serious warning, we should appreciate that the 27th night of the month of Rajab is not like 'Lailatul-qadr' or 'Lailatul-bara'ah' (Note: I must mention here that even celebrating the lailatul bara'ah has been rejected by most of the scholars - Blog Administrator) for which special merits have been mentioned expressly either y the Holy Qur'an or by the Holy Prophet .
Briefly stated, the gist of the story is that a poor woodcutter lived in Madinah in the days of Jafar Al-Sadiq. He went abroad to earn his livelihood. His wife was employed in the house of the Prime Minister. Once she was cleaning the courtyard of the Prime Minister when Sayyidna Jafar al-Sadiq passed by her. It was 22nd of Rajab. He advised her to bake some breads of a special type and make 'isal-al-sawab to him. According to this story, he promised her that if her desire is not fulfilled after this practice, she can catch hold of him at the doom's day. On hearing this, the woman made a vow that if her husband will come back with a considerable wealth, she will observe the custom of "Koonda". On the same day her husband, who was in another country, found a valuable treasure in the earth and came back with it to Madinah where he established himself as a rich man and started living in a magnificent castle.
When his wife told the story to the wife of the Prime Minister, she disbelieved her and because of this disbelief, she and her husband, the Prime Minister, were punished by Allah. He was removed by the king from the prime minister-ship and was imprisoned in a jail and was ordered to be hanged. While being in the prison, the wife of the Prime Minister remembered that she had disbelieved the story of Jafar al-Sadiq told to her by her maidservant and their misery might be the punishment of their disbelief. On this point, she and her husband repented before Allah and made a vow to observe the custom of "Koonda", if they are released from the jail. After they made such a vow, the whole scenario of the events changed suddenly. The king released the Prime Minister from the jail and reinstated him on his former position.
Be that as it may, it is evident that such customs have crept into the Muslim society by their long association with Hindus who commemorate different historical events of their religion in the like manner. The Muslims must be careful about these customs, because they are not only an invention of ignorance but also the imitation of non-Muslims in their religious rituals. No doubt the "'isal-al-thawab' to the soul of a deceased Muslim, and particularly to a pious person is not only permissible but also a commendable practice but the Shari'ah has not prescribed a particular date, nor a particular mode to do so. If someone wants to make "'isal-al-thawab" to Sayyidna 'Ali, Radi-Allahu anhu, or to Ja'far al-Sadiq, he can do it any day and by performing any act of worship, like Salat, fast, Sadaqah, dhikr etc. There is no reason why it should be restricted to a special type of meal or bread distributed on a particular date. What makes this practice worse is the fact that the people accustomed to this practice deem it as necessary as a fard (obligation); rather they treat it as more necessary than fard because they do not care to perform the obligatory Salat or to fulfill the rights of men obligated on them, but they are very strict and punctual to perform these activities. Moreover, if a person does not observe this practice, they reproach him and call him with bad names. Such behavior makes this custom a bid'ah which is condemned by the Holy Prophet as a misguidance.
Therefore, the Muslims must abandon all such practices and should not cling to it only because it has been the practice of their society for many years. A Muslim is supposed to follow the dictates of Shari'ah and not the practice of the society, if it violates any of its principles. | 2019-04-21T16:11:50 | http://muqith.blogspot.com/2010/07/month-of-rajab.html |

Doctor: How are you led, my dear, by rope?
Girl: By road signs, sir. They tell me, the road signs, that you are working on a technique to separate mother from prenatal child.
Doctor: Well, it is quite difficult, you know, to separate the best mothers from the best children because they never even meet. Sometimes living thousands of miles apart. At this point I’m devising a maneuver to prevent any mother from ever coming in to contact with a child, hers or otherwise.
Mother: Then why not remark?
Father: I’m afraid I’ve no ink.
Girl: Won’t it be brilliant to have babies one never even has to see!
Father: That reminds me. I had a telephone call today from Eugene Ionesco.
Doctor: Indeed, and what did he say?
Father: I’m really not quite sure.
Mother: Oh, darling, but you speak French quite well.
Father: Yes, I speak French, but I cannot hear it. So to me it was just as a dead line… nothing at all.
Doctor: What a thing! What a sad loss.
Father: Oh, I don’t know about that. Now I am aware that all these years when I thought the line was dead, no one there, it was really Eugene Ionesco calling with his words of encouragement, or derision, or indifference. One of the three, I suspect.
Doctor: And you can’t tell us anything about what he had to say?
Father: He was wearing a derby hat.
Doctor: Why do you suppose that?
Father: You just now asked me to.
Mother: His favorite fish is herring.
Girl: Eugene Ionesco’s favorite fish is herring!
Mother: No, your older brother Thomas’ favorite fish is herring. I didn’t realize we were still talking about Eugene Ionesco.
Doctor: (To Daughter) I’m going to have to hit you in the face. Don’t blame me. Blame my methods and the men who invented them.
Daughter: Oh! Isn’t it so exciting to take part in medicine!
Doctor: (Approaches Daughter and punches her in the face, knocking her from her tuffet). I think we have once again proven the science always works.
Daughter: (Weeping) I’m glad I was subjected to that.
Mother: Equal and opposite. I saw it all, right there.
Doctor: (Writing something on clipboard) I was about to renounce the calling entirely.
Mother: What changed your mind?
Doctor: I couldn’t figure out how to get my lab coat off.
Father: Oh, yes! I had another telephone call from Eugene Ionesco today.
Daughter: (Rising, rubbing face, sitting back on tuffet) If you can’t hear his words, it can’t have been interesting.
Mother: Well, that sounds just like something Ionesco would say.
Doctor: Did he have an accent?
Daughter: You put all my drawings on the door of the refrigerator.
Father: But our walls are full.
Mother: What else are we to do?
Father: There is just too much art to fit it all on our walls. I’ve had the hardest time getting the Sistine Chapel ceiling on our own meager ceiling.
Doctor: But if it is on the ceiling, is it art?
Daughter: (Considers question with finger over lips) It’s not on the wall.
Mother: Nor is it on the refrigerator. Oh, Husband, I’m scared!
Father: (Rises and embraces mother) Why does Ionesco put us through this, time after time? Hasn’t our faith been shaken sufficiently?
Doctor: Which reminds me. Mother, I’m going to have to hit you in face.
Doctor: They are in there, my friends. My friends are in there.
Doctor: I have a phantom womb where I am letting them stay for the weekend.
Father: Are your friends phantoms as well?
Doctor: As well as what?
Father: As well as being your friends, are they phantoms?
Doctor: Shall I ask them?
Sally: (Writes a quick note on a paper tablet and tears it out, begins folding the paper) Swallow this. They can respond at their leisure.
Mother: I worry that this type of paper won’t taste so very good. Pepper it first and wash it down with punch.
Doctor: I have pepper in my pocket of course, but where might I acquire the punch?
Sally: (Grinning) I’ll take care of that part.
Mother: Looks as though it has gone down.
Father: Did the punch work, Doctor?
Doctor: (Rises, rubbing his belly) Yes. But it went down the wrong way.
Father: So your enemies will be getting the message instead of your friends?
Doctor: Probably. I’ve been letting my enemies stay in my spleen.
Mother: (Changes subject) It’s getting late. It is almost no longer my birthday.
Sally: You shall have to call him, Father.
Father: No, it was him. But he refuses to attend any birthday parties where there are an incorrect number of candles on the birthday cake.
Father: (Ominously) It’s too late. He knows.

Having a home theater creates special demands on room lighting arrangements. A good home theater lighting design can contribute to the convenience, comfort, and function of your room. There is a variety of lighting solutions, practices, and ideas to enhance your home theater environment.
To come up with the most effective home theater lighting plan, you need to determine what the main function of your space is. Is the room going to be used solely to watch movies? Are you going to play video games in it? Will it be a spot for your friends and family to get together? Envisioning the activities that will take place in the room will give you an idea of your home theater’s lighting requirements. You also need to take note of the natural light that comes in the room – incorporate plans to reduce or completely eliminate it so as not to interfere with your viewing. Natural light will ultimately have an impact on the number of lighting fixtures you need and where to place them.
• Area lighting – the home theater’s main lights, area lighting illuminates the whole room. Area lighting can be arranged in two or three rows.
• Task lighting – these are dedicated lights for a specific activity or task in your home theater.
• Accent lighting – these lights give theater-like ambiance in your home cinema. They give just the right illumination in the room without overpowering the projector.
Once you know what the primary function of the room is, you will have an idea of the proper placement and layout of the light fixtures, blinds, and curtains to achieve good lighting. A common home theater area lighting layout uses 4-6-inch recessed can lights arranged in two or three rows. Pre-wiring and planning the location of your light fixtures go hand in hand as you need to know where to install the lights that will be integrated into a single switch.
You know that feeling of excitement when you’re sitting in a theater and as the movie is about to start, the lights dim dramatically? You can have the same experience in your home theater by installing a remote-controlled lighting system. The right equipment and proper setup will give you the power to control your home theater lighting right from your favorite recliner. Remote-controlled lighting design is a relatively cheap and cool effect you can add to your lighting design. You can get remote controlled dimmer switches. To further impress your guests, install voice-controlled modules to manage your home theater systems, including lighting. Voice-controlled lighting controllers replace your wall switches and can be programmed to respond to voice commands.
The lighting control should be distributed in muted, soft levels across the entire room to prevent glare and extreme contrast between the lighting and the surrounding surfaces. Excessive lighting can ruin the theater-like ambiance you are aiming for. However, it is important to note that a bright screen in an extremely dark room may appear very bright due to too much contrast – resulting in eyestrain. In this case, you should incorporate low ambient light in the room; this will not interfere with viewing, reducing contrast and increasing visual comfort.
• Wall sconces – if you want to mimic the feel of a movie theater, home theater wall sconces give just the right soft backdrop lighting. They come in a variety of shapes, styles, and sizes, and you can use as many sconces along the wall as you like. Wall sconces create a mellow and subdued lighting effect with the use of translucent glass, plastic covering, or metal shell – this makes the light crawl up the wall in a small radius.
• Recessed lighting – this type of lighting fixture is usually placed on the ceiling. Recessed lighting directs light in strategic spots in the room such as the ceiling, directly onto the floor, towards a wall, etc.
• LEDs – also called halogen lights, LEDs or light-emitting diodes, are bright enough to be used as an alternative to normal, everyday lights. LEDs come in custom, multi-color accent lighting for a vibrant and wide angle.
• Rope lighting – rope lighting is easy to install, inexpensive, and can be cut to size. It is usually set up with stadium-style seating, running around the perimeter of the room to give just the right glow to the space.
• Three-way bulbs – this affordable solution to home theater lighting allows you to adjust the levels of lighting in the room. The two filaments (one with a lower wattage than the other) in each of the bulb will give you the ability to alter between distinct levels of light. For energy-saving lighting, you can use CFL bulbs.
Really useful tips to lightening your home theater system in a more attractive way. Thanks for sharing! | 2019-04-21T20:32:11 | http://blog.hometheatergear.com/decor/lighting/home-theater-lighting-design-guide/ |
As previously announced, a new Continuing Professional Development (CPD) regime for barristers on the Established Practitioner Programme will be in place from January 2017.
To prepare for the new CPD regime, we have published a consultation seeking views on the proposed changes to the rules and regulations governing the new scheme. We have previously consulted on the proposed nature and structure of the new CPD regime which has now been finalised. This new consultation concerns the rules that will appear in the BSB Handbook and provides the formal regulatory framework for the new CPD scheme. The consultation seeks comments on the way in which these rules are drafted.
The consultation closes on 1 September and can be found on our website. It also contains more information for barristers about the new CPD regime. | 2019-04-23T02:01:30 | https://www.barstandardsboard.org.uk/regulatory-requirements/regulatory-update-2016/bsb-regulatory-update-july-2016/changes-to-barristers%E2%80%99-cpd-bsb-consultation-about-the-rule-changes-is-open/ |
The idea of masculinity, at least in fashion and grooming, has by this point come to settle in an interesting place, men now moisturise their faces, often everyday (!), can wear skinny jeans with reckless abandon, put product their hair which isn’t brill cream, and sometimes even get a manicure. These things might be trappings of the metropolitan elite but it seems that if men want to watch “Bring it on” with their mates or pluck their eyebrows then they can – without shame. Now one may have zero desire to do any of those things but as the hackneyed term metrosexual steadily abates men have been left with a new dawn, one altogether less afraid of the feminine and less shackled by ideals of masculinity.
One corner where this renaissance of choice may have struggled to reach, despite the shaft of light falling ever closer, is that bastion of self-indulgence: the scented candle. Somehow the idea that men should enjoy nice smells seems excessive to most people; that in the great collective male psyche one’s house should smell slightly sweaty, slightly like a locker room rather than of bergamot or patchouli, slightly like you’ve just sprayed your territory. It has certainly become permissible to own a scented candle – which may or may not ever get lit – but buying one for yourself is still the sort of thing you’d probably prefer to come in an unmarked box and left outside the door in the dead of night.
However, people seem slowly to be coming round to the idea and realising the absurdity in judging someone for owning a candle and the market has slowly followed suit; over the last couple years the whole market for “masculine” scents has expanded hugely. Whereas a few years ago you would have had to search high and low for a candle on the market that would make your flat smell like leather bound books and rich mahogany now options abound.
On example of this brave new and liberated world is perfumer Tom Daxon, the scion of the Creative Director of Molten Brown and excellent perfumer in his own right. Having started his eponymous perfume line at the tender age of 26 Tom has gone on to produce beautiful scents as well as candles. His Under Milk Wood candle is a special favourite, cased in an understated, chiselled blue pot the scent is beautifully subtle and strangely comforting.
Another example of something almost entirely different but equally as intriguing is (perennial favourite) Haeckles’ candle GPS 21 ’30”E or Petrichoria as it is also known. The candle unflinchingly recreates the smell of Petrichor: the smell of rain on dirt or pavement after a long warm smell. The result is surprisingly refreshing, perhaps more of a living room that a bedroom scent but an impressive feat of olfactory originality from the boys from Margate.
Last but not least is Laboratory Perfumes’ Amber Candle. A company that describes itself as “a new method of making perfume the old fashioned way” they are fortunately far better at creating scents than mottos and the Amber candle is no exception. Packaged in what looks very much like a school science beaker the scent is a warm and complex take on a traditionally masculine woody scent – certainly worth a sniff. | 2019-04-18T12:44:18 | https://riddlemagazine.com/candles/ |
When you’re trying to find lawyers for illegal drug trafficking in Grand Prairie TX, only the very best will do. Those who are accused of selling, distributing, manufacturing, or transporting a prohibited substance can face a drug trafficking charge, and it has significantly harsher penalties than minor offenses, such as possession. The repercussions vary depending on the illegal drug in question, the amount, as well as the jurisdiction the arrest happened in. Competent lawyers for illegal drug trafficking in Grand Prairie TX will fight aggressively for you to ensure that your charges are reduced or dropped if possible. The verdict of your case depends on the strength of the defense attorney you select at the start.
There are many law firms from which to choose, and locating proficient lawyers for illegal drug trafficking in Grand Prairie TX, will likely require you to review the profiles of more than one. As you begin your search, use the considerations presented in this article to evaluate each attorney.
Area of Focus: Not all defense attorneys, not to mention legal professionals as a whole, have the specialist knowledge to handle a trafficking charge effectively. Make sure the practitioner you choose has succeeded in cases like yours. The legal representatives featured here fit this condition, as each one has the appropriate expertise, combined with the history that’s necessary to produce results. Having said that, it’s also a good idea to look for lawyers for illegal drug trafficking in Grand Prairie TX who understand the subtleties of how courts handle the illegal substance involved in your court case, as a meth or heroin offense will call for a different defense than a cannabis charge.
Strong Communication Skills: High-caliber lawyers for illegal drug trafficking in Grand Prairie TX will be able to communicate proficiently using a variety of techniques. Their informal explanations of legislation and actions to take must promote confidence. When talking with judges and the prosecuting attorney, they must emanate confidence. They must also have the ability to communicate in a convincing, yet friendly fashion, when approaching a jury. If you can’t view each one of these kinds of communication during the consultation, ask for permission to watch the lawyer or attorney in the courtroom.
Charisma: Lawyers for illegal drug trafficking in Grand Prairie TX must have a magnetic personality. Although some people look for an attack-dog lawyer, this isn’t really the proper way to go about it. There’s a big difference in providing an aggressive defense and acting aggressively. Proficient defense attorneys understand how to make friends with jurors and other vital individuals in the court system, because this may establish the relationships needed for a plea agreement or make the judge and prosecutor more likely to concede to requests. Regardless of whether you call it charisma, personality, or charm, it’s an important trait all highly regarded and effective criminal defense attorneys have.
The lawyers for illegal drug trafficking in Grand Prairie TX presented here have the criteria noted here. However, even the very best drug attorney requires time to study every facet of a case to create a powerful strategy. Take a little time to review the lawyer profiles, then get started by scheduling a no obligation, free consultation with your top candidates right away. | 2019-04-20T22:16:14 | https://dallasinterstatedruglawyer.com/lawyers-for-illegal-drug-trafficking-in-grand-prairie-tx/ |
It’s a high pressure gravity fed paint sprayer. I have so many antique chairs that I want to refinish but hate using a brush on…very tedious work…so I thought I would try an inexpensive paint sprayer. I didn’t know if it would be something I could use milk paint with or not so I did a little experiment to see.
I have to say, it works great once you figure out all the settings and adjust it so it is “just right”. I tried it out on a couple of antique dining chairs and I have to say it made painting all the little corners and rails on the chair a breeze. It took me maybe 5 minutes to paint each chair and gave it a flawless brushstroke free finish.
It did 2 coats of milk paint in Miss Mustard Seed’s Lucketts Green and distressed the chairs with sandpaper after they had dried. I upholstered the seats using drop cloths and finished them off with some clear wax for a silky smooth finish.
The only problem I had using the milk paint with the spray gun was that the filter clogged up the sprayer if I didn’t make sure the milk paint was completely dissolved and lump free first.
I will certainly try this again. Maybe I will try using chalk paint next time…diluted of course as it cannot spray paint that is of a thicker consistency.
Next up on my hit list is this cute little dresser… a roadside find looking for love… Hope you’re having a great summer so far. It has been super busy here for me … kids, work and working on a few furniture make overs. Its all good!
Milk Paint in a spray gun – well you may have just rocked my world Terry! It looks like you got excellent coverage. I’m lookin forward to seeing how it works with chalk paint. I may just have to get myself one of these sprayers.
I’m Loving it for those little tedious jobs! I can’t wait to try it out on the chalk paint :0) Thanks for the visit!
It turned out GREAT, Terry! Thank you bunches for linking up and partying with us this week!
I love that you host this party…I enjoy seeing all the creativity out there! | 2019-04-18T13:14:46 | https://thecuratorscollection.com/2014/07/05/experimenting-milk-paint-gravity-fed-paint-sprayer/ |
When male partner is unable to ejaculate sperms because of blocked tubes in their testes or because of any other condition, which prevents their sperms being released. Some form of surgical intervention is required for sperm retrieval before doing IVF with intracytoplasmic sperm injection. This process is known as surgical sperm retrieval.
There are various methods of removing sperms depending upon the individual case.
This involves placing a needle attached to a syringe through the skin of the scrotum and simply sucking out the fluid inside the testicle.
This involves the same needle and syringe technique but the needle is placed directly into the epididymis.

Over the last few years, Amsterdam has done its damnedest to become the true global capital of denim, and we have to say, with a great degree of success. An indispensable aspect of this success has to be the Amsterdam Denim Days festival.
ADD is a city wide celebration of all things denim. The King Pins fabric trade show, Blue Print Festival, local denim stores and quality aligned local purveyors are all thrown into the mix to create a curated cross section of what denim, at its core truly represents.
What ADD has achieved is actually rather remarkable and, as far as we know, unique in the world of denim. They have created an event that is as relevant to industry professionals as it is to the end-consumer. It serves to educate and illuminate, bringing together two aspects of this industry that, at times, can feel rather removed from one another.
During the Denim Days in April, there was a rumour floating around that this winning concept would be rolled out in some other city. But the exact location was kept a closely guarded secret. Would it be San Francisco, Tokyo, Berlin? All of these cities would certainly have been a good choice, but nothing seems to fit quite as well as the confirmed locale, New York City.
For such an undertaking, the organizers of such an event would have to be pretty well connected. Luckily for us, they are. New York Denim Days is organised by Modefabriek and Kingpins Show in collaboration with House of Denim and HTNK Fashion recruitment & consultancy. A great mixture of passionate people with the clout to pull off such an event.
New York Denim Days will take place from the 30th of September through to October 1st. The two-day main event will be hosted at the Metropolitan Pavilion (125 West 18th Street) and the organizers are working tirelessly to build a collection of brands, retailers, designers, denim artisans, vintage dealers, mills and complementary players such as artists, tailors, denim repair craftsmen, and purveyors of skincare, accessories, housewares, footwear and so on.
Further weaving the New York Denim Days into the fabric of the city, events at retail stores throughout the 5 boroughs will give visitors a chance to truly engage with the denim scene in New York with book signings and workshops, sales, in-store parties and more.
Adriano Goldschmied, the godfather of denim.
Stefano Rosso, CEO of Diesel USA.
Scott Morrison, founder and designer of 3×1, Paper Denim Cloth and Earnest Sewn.
Stefan Siegel of Not Just a Label.
Sanjeev Bahl, President of Saitex, the benchmark garment factory and laundry of the future.
The lectures will take place at Fashion Institute of Technology’s famed Katie Murphy Amphitheatre on the 29th of September.
Two mainstays of the denim scene in New York City have already signed on as New York Denim Days fist exhibitors. Jean Shop will be displaying rare vintage jeans, selling product and a leather bracelet that shoppers can also customize with dye and hand-stamps. They will also be indigo dyeing bandanas to add to this great DIY experience. 3×1’s booth will feature signature items from the brand synonymous with quality and craft.
The notion of transporting the ADD festival concept to New York is certainly an exciting development for the industry. Bringing the consumer and the professional together is a necessary development for the denim industry overall.
It gives a transparency to both sides and the ability to engage and educate on a number of levels. Without events such as Amsterdam Denim Days and New York Denim days, this engagement would be nigh on impossible for both sides. So, to the organizers of the event, we salute you and we are looking forward to seeing events unfold.

I came home from work yesterday with this letter on my door. I was furious, who would do something like this. It will get the neighbors to talk. I quickly to a snapshot and sent it to my husband, parents, brothers, and some friends. I wanted to call Verizon and cancel my current services and blast them for such a terrible marketing campaign…but it got me thinking….I just totally promoted them for doing “bad marketing.” I created buzz not realizing it. So as awful of marketing I thought this was…. they’re name got put out there. And they can easily apologize and offer a discount for making you upset… and again they won. | 2019-04-20T14:36:43 | https://dakdilldesigns.com/2016/08/29/is-bad-marketing-good-you-be-the-judge/ |
First ‘Dreamer’ to get Rhodes scholarship fears he won’t be able to return to U.S.
He became the first “Dreamer” to win the prestigious Rhodes scholarship, but for recent Harvard graduate Jin Park, the joy of that achievement has given way to uncertainty.
Park, 22, who lives in New York City, risks not being allowed back in the country if he enrolls at the University of Oxford in England in the fall. | 2019-04-24T12:48:31 | https://nbcpalmsprings.com/2019/01/04/first-dreamer-to-get-rhodes-scholarship-fears-he-wont-be-able-to-return-to-u-s/ |
Recently, I bought an exquisite antique mourning brooch. It has a number of different parts to it which I thought I would discuss. First of all, the brooch is made of table-worked hair as a border, with black and gold enamel bands attached to a gold oval ring, gold initials in the centre and a black and gold hanging heart locket. The gold has tested as 14ct. There is very slight damage to the top of the hair mount but otherwise the condition is very good.
Starting with the hair border, which is in the shape of a square and comprised of finely woven brown hair. The hair was done using the table-work method which involved a round table top with a hole in the middle. The top of the table has numbers on it, marking off segments. A pattern is needed which sets out which number of bobbin should be use, and when. Hair with bobbins attached ate secured through the centre hole. Usually a mould is placed in the centre hole and the hair is woven around it. Once complete, the hair object is boiled in water, then dried in the oven. The mould is then removed.
Table working of hair and palette work (that is, turning hair into curls, feather designs and woven plaits) became popular pastimes for women during the 19th century but hairwork jewellery was also a serious commercial business. Even commercially, it appears that hair work was done by hand rather than machine, according to Helen Sheumaker in her book ‘Love Entwined’. Certainly, the finishing was done by hand. A brooch of quality such as this one was not produced in a home but by a jewellery company. A Bernhard & Co in New York were wholesaler jewellery manufacturers. In 1870, they produced a catalogue for retailers which listed pages of hairwork jewellery. It contained a number of illustrations of brooches which had a similar square hairwork border around a central oval gold frame which allows me to date the brooch. The 1879 catalogue contained slightly different styles of brooches.
There are four gold bands clinching the hair border, with the bands attached to a gold oval ring in the centre of the hair border.The bands are decorated wit black enamel. On two of the bands, there is a forget-me-not flower, and on the other two, there is a carnation. Forget-me-not flowers symbolise faithful love and memories while carnations symbolise pure love and innocence.
In the centre of the oval gold ring are the initials ‘TCL, in gold with black enamel decoration. At the back of the brooch, there is a C-clasp and pin.
At the bottom of the hair brooch is a tiny hanging heart gold locket, with black enamel and a forget-me not flower on the front and back. The locket opens to reveal a glazed compartment on one side containing a braided lock of hair. It is such a gorgeous little locket and still complete.
That’s my little mourning brooch – a delicate sentimental piece, beautifully made – to remember TCL. | 2019-04-26T10:49:14 | https://navettejewellery.org/2019/01/21/victorian-mourning-brooch/ |

Rick Springfield & Max Nightingale is not currently scheduled to do any shows in Branson this year.
Together for a limited time, rock 'n roll legend, Rick Springfield and R&B queen, Maxine Nightingale are gracing the Branson stage with their presences; and with both of their iconic music styles, this show is a must-see for all music lovers of the 80s.
Taking with him his pop rock sound, Rick Springfield is sure to rock the stage. He has hits such as "Jessie's Girl" and has even starred in General Hospital. He is one of the most iconic performers of the 80s in both the United States and Australia.
Born in Australia, Springfield took up the guitar when he was only thirteen. When his father was stationed in England, Springfield played in many different bands. Upon his return to Australia, he began to play in many different bands.
In 1968, Springfield was asked to join the group Rockhouse. With Rockhouse, he toured South Vietnam to support and entertain Australian soldiers who were fighting in the war. After this stint, he joined the band, Zoot. Their hard-rock version of a Beatles favorite, "Eleanor Rigby", launched them into the No. 4 spot on Go-Set's Top 40. When the band broke up in May, however, Springfield took the chance to launch himself a solo career. After signing with Sparmec Records, he recorded his debut single, "Speak to the Sky", which peaked in the US at No. 14 on the Billboard Hot 100. In 1973 he wrote his biggest hit, "Jessie's Girl", which became a sensation in the US, peaking at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for two weeks. He reached the same success in Australia, earning the No. 1 spot on the Kent Music Report Singles Chart. Springfield also tried his hand at acting and played a key role in General Hospital.
Grammy for Best Rock Vocal Male Performance for "Jessie's Girl"
Joining him onstage is Maxine Nightingale. She brings her own bluesy feel and success to the stage to complement Springfield. Her hits include, "Right Back Where We Started" and "Love Hit Me".
A British singer, Maxine Nightingale sang in bands since she was young. At thirteen, she played with the neighborhood band. Playing multiple cabaret shows with Unisoft, she caught the attention of a club manager who convinced her to cut a demo. She was signed by Pye Records. With her first three singles not gaining much success, she began performing in Hair. Relocating to Germany, she began performing in other shows such as Jesus Christ Superstar and Godspell. She did vocals again once she returned to London. She caught attention though, and was convinced to record, "Right Back Where We Started From". Despite her reluctance, the song reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 8 in the UK. She produced six more albums and over 20 singles.
So don't miss these two together on one stage in Branson! Coming together with a night of R&B and rock 'n roll, Rick Springfield and Max Nightingale are here to impress. | 2019-04-22T08:08:23 | https://www.vacationsmadeeasy.com/BransonMO/activity/RickSpringfieldNightingale.cfm |

Cheesy Mashed Potato leftovers are fine by me!
You know how I talked about not liking the 13 peas leftover at the end of the meal?
Let me just clarify something: I really do like leftovers if they serve a purpose. If they can create an entire meal and save me time? I like leftovers. If they can be made into something else for a practically effortless meal? I like leftovers. And if you can use them to create a side dish your family loves? Well of course, then I like leftovers.
Making extra food so that you have leftovers on purpose is a great way to Eat Healthy and Save Time! This Chili Mac recipe is a perfect example. So is the Cheesy Mashed Potato recipe I am about to show you.
Last week, I was making mashed potatoes to go with our Chicken Fried Steak Strips. I decided to double the amount of potatoes we would need for that night, so that I could use the leftovers to make another dish for another day.
This was about eight pounds of potatoes. Doesn’t look like it? How about seeing the bowl from this angle?
It turns out, making additional potatoes for another day was a great idea! It took me hardly any extra time to peel a few extra potatoes, it took hardly any extra time to cook the potatoes, it took hardly any extra time to mash the potatoes, and then it took about three minutes to put together this dish after our meal was over.
Seriously. It’s not a real recipe when you put (give or take) at the end of every statement. But the potatoes sure taste yummy, even if your proportions are different than what I described.
Feel free to add bacon bits to the potatoes if you like. How many? Oh, I’d say about 1/2 cup.
My mother-in-law has a recipe like this that is a hit where ever she takes it. We’re eating Paleo now, so it’s out for us, but boy does it look yummy. Thanks for sharing!
Put a little of your dry ranch mix in there too!!
I love doing that with our left over mashed potatoes!!
and if you don’t peel your potatoes first then you save even more time.
Thanks for the idea! I never think of things like this and I should! :) Hubby will love this recipe-kind of a Twice Baked Potato (his favorite) simplified.
I do about the same. I just add about however much “stuff” as I would for a baked potato (per serving of potatoes). I always add garlic salt to mine too and top with crushed crackers.
This is the only way I make mashed potatoes, actually. I do a HUGE pot, mash, and add cheese, milk, butter, sour cream, bacon, dill weed, garlic, seasoned salt, parsley or any combination thereof. I put it in zip top bags according to how much my family eats with various meals, and freeze. I then either thaw them on the counter or in a sink of warm water, put them in a dish, and bake to reheat, so they get that yummy crust on top.
I like this idea. The other day, after cooking a big meal at church, I had a large amount of mashed potatoes left. I was thinking what to do with them as I don’t like warmed over mashed potatoes. I decided to see if I could make potato soup. I took the potatoes and added evaporated milk, regular milk, butter and a bit of onion powder. I had some ham left over so I shredded the ham and added it. I simmered it for a few minutes and added shredded cheddar cheese. It was like a loaded baked potato soup. Everybody loved it!
I’m with Kathy – I NEVER peel potatoes (or apples in cobblers) and think the extra “bite” the skin gives is so yummy. It also saves much time and is healthier. Everyone has their preference, though.
Our family LOVES to play Ticket To Ride!!
I think I’ll have to try this. After being sick for several weeks I am finally able to cook again and I am itchin’ to get back into the kitchen! Oh made your calico beans last night and my son wanted seconds and we had it for lunch today and again he wanted seconds. He says it’s a 5 star recipe! He adds some raw milk cheese and sour cream to his which is good because he doesn’t like the taste of the raw milk and I am having a hard time getting him to drink it. He’ll only take a sip.
I recently saw the idea of using leftover mashed potatoes to make homemade tater tots. Obviously a bit more labor intensive, but I’m going to try it sometime- it’s fun to have one of those childhood favorites come back!
Oooh! Left-over mashed potatoes. My daughters love it when I add garlic and onion powders and cheddar cheese, form into patties, and fry. Sooooo tasty!!!
Ticket to Ride is one of our favorite games!
If y’all like that one, try Railways of the World it’s more in depthbut a lot of fun too.
I have tried cooking extra mashed potatoes and my family just eats them all. No such thing as leftover mashed potatoes at my house. I suppose I could hide half before the meal. They have mashed potato radar.
I have a recipe like that that includes some fresh green onions in it also. YUM!
You can also add Durkee or generic fried onions on top during the last 10-15 minutes to give it a great onion taste and add some crunch! | 2019-04-20T14:14:54 | https://heavenlyhomemakers.com/cheesy-mashed-potato-leftovers-eat-healthy-save-time |

Ethiopian star Tirunesh Dibaba and Kenyan Ezekiel Kemboi raced to new meeting records with comfortable performances for Africans in front of 50,266 spectators at the Meeting Areva/Diamond League inside the Stade de France in Paris on Saturday.
Dibaba, the Olympic 10,000m champion, won the women's 5,000m in 14:23.68, thus erasing Vivian Cheruyot’s previous record set in 2010 by nearly four seconds. It is also the best performance in the world this year.
Her compatriots Almaz Ayana was second in a personal best 14:25.84, Gelete Burka was third in a season's best 14:42.07, Sule Utura was fourth in a season's best 14:59.74 and Buze Diriba was fifth (15:01.44).
Ezekiel Kemboi, the reigning Olympic champion, raced away in the men's 3,000m steeplechase to win with a world leading time 7:59.03 whilst pulling Frenchman Mahiedine Mekhissi to an European record in the process.
Olympic silver medallist, Mahiedine Mekhissi, broke the record previously held by compatriot Bob Tahri in 8:00.09 with Paul Kipsiele Koech, last year’s winner, way behind in 8:09.17 for third place.
Djibouti athlete Ayanleh Souleiman took the 1500m win in 3:32.55, bettering his season’s best, ahead of Ethiopian Aman Wote (3:32.65, PB) and American Leonel Manzano (3:33.14).
Double Olympic and World champion Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce of Jamaica won the women's 100m by a hundredth of a second ahead of fast improving Nigerian star Blessing Okagbare. Fraser-Pryce was timed at 10.92 with Okagbare, who dipped too early, second in 10.93 and Ivorian Murielle Ahoure third in 11.01.
Francine Nyonsaba of Burundi won the women's 800m in 1:57.26 ahead of the Moroccan Malika Akkaoui, who beat her personal best in 1:57.64, and American Alysia Montano (1:57.75).

Tamaskan Dog Register Forum • View topic - Hello from Cardiff!
Hi everyone, I recently emailed Lynn and Jennie about a Tamaskan puppy and was directed here.
I've been looking for an ideal dog for around a year now, and been through many breeds so far that I haven't 'clicked' with. Among other things I like large, active, primitive, and strong-bonding dogs, and it's been hard to find a breed that encompasses all of these. Hoping my search is over now, lol. My girlfriend and I are moving around June/July and planning to get her a dog soon after (an adult rescue), but I'm willing to wait a while for a Tam, they look perfect.
Are there any Tamaskan owners in or near Cardiff we could chat to?
I don’t live near you, I’m in Scotland but I wanted to welcome you to the forum and also say you couldn’t pick a better breed of dog for your wish list of your perfect breed ....I currently have 3 having had one for nearly 12 years previously and I wouldn’t have any other breed now ....I notice you say you plan on getting your girlfriend an adult rescue dog .....have you considered rescuing or rehoming an adult Tamaskan?
Thanks for the welcome both The more I read about the breed the more I'm convinced they're the perfect fit for me.
Sairawalker wrote: have you considered rescuing or rehoming an adult Tamaskan?
Funny you mentioned this as I did bring it up in my email - I'm very open to that idea. I lean towards a pup because there are more unknowables with two adult rescues, but as long as the two could meet and get along I'm happy to rehome.
Hello from the North of Scotland - Aberdeen in fact. Welcome to our Forum.
I hope you were not looking for an unbiased opinion re having a Tamaskan - because we are all biased towards them!!!
I waited 10yrs for mine until my time was right and I haven't regretted a thing about it. My boy Shawnee is just over 1 yr old now and just a delight - most of the time anyway - all dog owners of any breed will understand that remark!
I hope your search is over and that you feel a Tamaskan is the dog to share your lives.
This place is great for any quiestions you have may have, finding out what events are on there’s always group walks happening somewhere and the I think the best part sharing pictures of thee best breed around!
We have a 6month Tamaskan called Loki and haven’t looked back since getting him! Everyone on here and in the chats are super friendly and helpful!
Our puppy is now 12 weeks old and it was the best decision in the world getting her. She has already become a big part of the family.
With two girls already aged 5 and 16 months she is so gentle with them and loves a run around in the garden while they play but likes her sleep and a good tummy rub.
We are the north east of England as well and look forward to many a walk.
Having a tamaskan is like joining a giant family, everyone is so welcoming and amazing with advice. | 2019-04-18T14:26:01 | http://www.tamaskan.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=1&p=36906 |

An electric power steering (EPS or EPAS) is designed to provide assistance to the driver of a vehicle by way of reducing effort on the electric motor. Most of the power steering systems are designed to give variable assistance i.e. a higher support when the speed of a vehicle decreases and lower assistance when the vehicle takes a higher speed. An intricate balance of power and control is necessary to make this possible and recently the kind of functionality has been readily available to the manufacturers.
An EPS system is different from the HPS systems as it does not require a hydraulic pump that is belted into the engine. Here the electric motor gets its power from the vehicle’s alternator which is belted into the engine.
The biggest advantage of having an EPS system is that it is activated only when required. In fact with an EPS a vehicle can achieve up to 3 % improvement in fuel economy in comparison vehicle a vehicle equipped with a with conventional HPS system..
The main reason why automobiles have power steering systems is that they cause reduction in the input force needed to turn or steer a vehicle. The EPS mainly consists of a steering mechanism that is linked with a steering wheel via a steering shaft and detects a steering torque applied to the steering wheel with the help of torque sensor. There is a motor to assist operations of the steering mechanism.
The function of the torque sensor is to convert the torsional torque of the steering shaft to an analog signal and finally output it to the electronic control unit (ECU). The torque is generated by the steering of a steering that is linked to the steering shaft. The analog to digital circuit does the job of converting the analog signals to the corresponding digital values in the ECU. The motor is driven according to the steering torque that is detected by the sensor, thus reducing the steering force that the driver needs to apply.
Another important component of the system is the power-steering fluid that transmits the power in your car’s power steering system. Just like the other fluids in your car you need to service the power steering fluid that involves draining it and then add fresh fluid.
It is recommended you do not assess the value of the power steering fluids based on its cost. In fact it could be the cheapest among all the fluids that go into your car’s systems. However the fluid is very important for the safety of your car. It requires minimum maintenance too.
You must change it on schedule to improve the life of other power-steering components. This will definitely save a lot in on the maintenance of the power-steering pump and the power-steering rack. | 2019-04-26T06:09:27 | https://neworleansautorepair.net/car-care-services-new-orleans-oil-change/power-steering-system-car-care-new-orleans/ |

CAPE TOWN-based NFS Industrial Machinery’s promise to its customers is ‘Lifting your business to new heights’. However, the company itself is flying high with increasing inroads into the local materials handling equipment sector.
The latest example is the delivery of ten forklifts to the well-known Worcester packaging manufacturer APL Cartons, the first of a multi-machine deal that will see the provision of more than 20 units in all.
One of the keys to clinching the deal is that NFS has the sole agency for a product in the materials handling business that is increasingly making a name for itself – its range of Hyundai Forklifts.
Managing director of the company Alistair Chalmers says the Hyundai forklifts provided so far to APL Cartons are all diesel powered with lifting capacities ranging between 2.5 up to 5 tons.
According to Chalmers the packaging company is now standardising on Hyundai’s, replacing a variety of other well-known makes. “APL chose us after extensive research which covered aspects such as machine efficiency, service back-up, pricing and so on”, Chalmers says.
While Worcester is some distance from Cape Town, NFS will be closely monitoring the performance of each unit through the use of its Tectra Telematics installed systems, which provides instant measurement of such crucial factors as oil pressure, hours used, idling times, temperatures, speeds and even impacts.
Also, there is a wide range of components held in stock at APL. Should the client require NFS’ direct intervention in case of a breakdown, a technical team will be on site within 30 minutes.
According to Chalmers NFS had a very successful effort last year, when 300 units were sold. Should the trend continue, he predicts sales figures of around 500 units this year. If the company succeeds, it will surely make it the envy of many a competitor.
Already, for the team at NFS, 2011 started off with a bang. It was awarded the lucrative contract of supplying forklifts to Transnet Port Terminals.
The subject award has led to NFS supplying Transnet with counterbalanced forklifts for use at the Port of Ngqura, Port Elizabeth.
The company considers it a great achievement to have been selected from so many contenders, even the bigger players in the market.
Evidence of the growing success was high-lighted recently with handing over three 2.5 ton Reach Trucks, with 9 metre lifting heights, to Cape Town-based food processor Orley Foods.
The Hyundai range includes units with lifting capacities starting from 1.5T up to 25T and which are powered by diesel, LPG or electric. Importantly, they are fitted with EU Stage 3 and 4 emissions rated engines which make them environmentally most friendly. | 2019-04-26T17:20:33 | http://www.wcbn.co.za/articles/dailynews/2769/NFS%27+Hyundai+Makes+Inroads.html |
First, we need some terminology. When we wish to divide one quantity by another, the quantity that we are dividing by is called the divisor, and the quantity being divided is call the dividend. The result of the operation is sometimes called the quotient (although the word quotient is used in other ways in mathematics as well).
In the first and third examples here, we factored the factors after the multiplication step to check for possible simplification of the result. In the second example, we could see that there was no possibility of simplification, because 5 is obviously not a factor of either 4 or 8.
mixing numerators and denominators in the multiplication step. This gives entirely the wrong answer. You must do the multiplication step just like you would multiply any other pair of fractons together.
when we drop the denominator of 1 (which can always be done because of the property that for any number b). We get exactly the same result as we would have obtained using the original rule for dividing by a fraction. This example illustrates why the invert and multiply rule works for dividing by a fraction.
As has been true of all other arithmetic operations, division with mixed numbers requires you to first convert the mixed numbers to pure fractions and then apply the methods appropriate for fractions. | 2019-04-22T18:27:48 | https://algebra-help.org/dividing-with-fractions.html |

A branch of the NSA has been collecting global financial data, including credit card transactions and data from SWIFT, which runs an international bank messaging system, according to a report Sunday from Der Spiegel.
The German publication provided details about a U.S. National Security Agency branch called "Follow the Money" that inputs financial data into a system called "Tracfin" that it said came from documents leaked by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden.
Tracfin contained 180 million records in 2011, of which some 84 percent of the data was comprised of credit card transactions, Der Spiegel reported. In an email statement Monday, the NSA said the U.S. government acquires economic and financial information related to terrorist financing and terror networks.
"This information is collected through regulatory, law enforcement, diplomatic, and intelligence channels, as well as through undertakings with cooperating foreign allies and partners," the statement said.
According to one presentation, the NSA sought to access Visa transactions for customers in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. In a statement, Visa said it was not aware of unauthorized access to its network.
"Visa takes data security seriously and, in response any attempted intrusion, we would pursue all available remedies to the fullest extent of the law," the company said. "Further, it's Visa's policy to only provide transaction information in response to a subpoena or other valid legal process."
NSA analysts described at an internal conference how they apparently successfully searched through Visa's "complex transaction network for tapping possibilities," the publication reported, citing other documents.
The NSA's Tracfin data also contained information from the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication, or SWIFT. SWIFT, a cooperative owned by around 8,000 financial institutions, runs a messaging service that enables worldwide financial transactions between banks.
Der Spiegel reported that SWIFT was a target of spying by the NSA's "tailored access operations" division, which collected printer traffic data from numerous banks.
In 2006, an independent panel set up by the European Commission found that SWIFT violated European Union and Belgian data privacy laws by turning over information to U.S. authorities for terrorism investigations.
After the attacks on the U.S. on Sept 11, 2001, SWIFT responded to court orders to hand over messaging information to the U.S. Treasury Department to track financial transactions by suspected terrorists. | 2019-04-22T22:11:45 | https://www.techworld.com/news/security/nsa-monitored-global-financial-transactions-report-says-3469034/ |

TopGear Thumpers is a brain child of two passionate Royal Enfield riders who had a hard time in getting their bullets serviced from available options in and around Marathahalli-Sajapura Outer Ring Road. Having lived in the area for quite long, we tried various garages and service centers without much luck. Irrespective of whether the service was free or paid, the place was RE authorized or private, the experience more or less remained the same.
Problems ranging from unnecessary spares replacement to I-couldn't-care-less-about-your-bullet attitude of mechanics were normalcy in all the places we tried. Although we found few extremely knowledgeable mechanics during the time, they seemed to think that the newer UCE models are somehow not worthy of the title BULLET and were focused on the CI machines.
This painful process of maintaining a bullet had to be made easier and enjoyable. After all, we buy the legendary Enfields to live our dream and not to curse the decision of buying one. Simple, regular maintenance of a two wheeler shouldn't be this hard. The frustration was growing. We were out of options. Only till we decided to create one. The idea of setting up a service center to provide top-notch service for Enfields was born. After a lot of hard work and missing quite a few long rides, TopGear Thumpers (TGT) became operational in Aug 2016.

Eating less, exercising more and losing weight seem the obvious solution for the oncoming 'obesity epidemic'. Rarely, however, is thought given to how these messages are interpreted and whether they are in fact inherently healthy. Education, Disordered Eating and Obesity Discourse investigates how 'body centred talk' about weight, fat, food and exercise is recycled in schools, enters educational processes, and impacts on the identities and health of young people. Drawing on the experiences of young women who have developed eating disorders and research on international school curricula and the media, the authors challenge the veracity, substance and merits of contemporary 'obesity discourse'. By concentrating on previously unexplored aspects of the debate around weight and health, it is revealed how well-meaning advice can propel some children toward behaviour that seriously damages their health. This book is not only about 'eating disorders' and the people affected, but the effects of obesity discourse on everyone’s health as it enters public policy, educational practice and the cultural fabric of our lives. It will interest students, teachers, doctors, health professionals and researchers concerned with obesity and weight issues.
There is considerable rhetoric and concern about weight and obesity across an increasing range of national contexts. Alarmist claims about an ‘obesity time-bomb’ are continually recycled in policy reports, reviews and white papers, each of which begin with the assumption that fatness is fundamentally unhealthy and damaging to national economies. With contributions from the UK, Canada, the USA and Australia, this book offers alternative critical perspectives on this alleged public health crisis which were, in part, developed through an Economic and Social Research Council seminar series on Fat Studies and Health at Every Size (HAES). Written by scholars from a range of disciplines and the health professions, themes include: an interrogation of statistical procedures used to construct the obesity epidemic, overweight and obesity as cultural signifiers for Type 2 diabetes, understandings of healthy eating and healthy weight in a ‘problem’ population, gendered expectations on men and women to lose weight, the visual representation of obesity, tensions when researching (anti-)fatness, critical dietitians’ engagement with HAES, alternative ways of promoting physical activity, and representations of obesity in the media. This book was originally published as a special issue of Critical Public Health.
Currently a great deal of public discourse around health is on the assumed relationship between childhood inactivity, young people’s diets, and a putative steep rise in obesity. Children and young people are increasingly being identified as a population at ‘risk’ in relation to these health concerns. Such concerns are driving what might be described as new ‘health imperatives’ which prescribe the choices young people should make around lifestyle: physical activity, body regulation, dietary habits, and sedentary behaviour. These health imperatives are a powerful force driving major policy initiatives on health and education in a number of countries in the Western world. Schools in particular have been targeted for the implementation of a plethora of initiatives designed to help children and young people lose weight, become more active and change their eating patterns inside and outside school. Addressing these issues requires an innovative theoretical approach. Neither the fields of ‘eating disorders’ nor ‘obesity research’ has addressed these issues from a sociological and pedagogical perspective. The contributors to this edited collection draw on a range of social theories, including Michel Foucault and Basil Bernstein to interpret the data collected across three countries (Australia and New Zealand, United Kingdom) and from a range of primary and secondary schools. Each chapter addresses various aspects of the relationship between health imperatives as constituted in government policies, school programs and practices, their recontextualised in school practices and the impact of this on the subjectivities of children and teachers. This book was originally published as a special issue of Discourse: Studies in the Cultural Politics of Education.
This book showcases a selection of current work and debates on weight and body management practices that are being produced from the vibrant arena of critical and postmodern approaches in the social sciences. Weight issues have become central to Western understandings of health and identity, but analyses of weight and body management have often failed to contextualise weight related issues. This timely book addresses this gap by examining three key areas, namely, representation, identities, and practice, to explore and interrogate how body and weight management, subjectivities, experiences, and practices are constituted within and by the normative discourses of contemporary western culture. | 2019-04-24T02:27:22 | http://booksiread.org/pdf/education-disordered-eating-and-obesity-discourse-fat-fabrications/ |
We have an entire generation of folks who have no idea how to change the own oil in the car.
When one of my grandkids asked me if I could sew a button on for her, I was amazed. Don’t you have a needle and thread I asked? No, she told me and I am not sure how to do it if I did.
I wondered if my eighth grade sewing teacher, Mrs. Barnes, was rolling over in her grave. I can remember hemming a tea towel over and over again when I was in school because I couldn’t get the stitches even enough to please her.
When I think how many things my grandkids have never learned, I realized I was glad that sewing was a requirement when I was in junior high school. It was certainly a pain at the time, but it gave me a skill I may never have had otherwise.
And while no one has ever asked me to prepare a Rosy Apple Compote, I remember that was one of the first requirements in my cooking class. Our cooking teacher also taught us the presentation was as important as the food itself.
We had to prepare a special breakfast for Easter and I added a little red and blue food coloring to my scrambled eggs. My teacher was very impressed and I got an A, probably the only one I got in that class.
My dad was much less overwhelmed when I prepared my special dish for him on Easter morning. He thought it was the most disgusting mess he had ever seen and looked more like liver than eggs. Needless to say, I didn’t cook for my dad again until after I was married.
And I can’t remember which class I was in when I was in high school, but one of my teachers taught us all how to balance a checkbook. I have discovered that is a lost art. Even my own kids bank online and accept whatever the bank says as their balances. I am still not that trusting.
I’m not sure how long ago schools stopped teaching basic life skills, but it’s a shame they did. We have an entire generation of folks who have no idea how to change their own oil in the car. Of course, most people would rather have someone else do that anyway.
But what if the handle on your toilet breaks? Do you really need to call a handy-man for such a simple fix? I’m not one to preach about repairs. If it can’t be fixed with Duct tape or Super Glue, I am lost. But I can sure iron a crisp white dress shirt.
I know I am somewhat of an anachronism, but we Baby Boomers may be the last generation that was prepared to take care of ourselves. Hopefully, at some point, the millennials will realize there is no app that can do the laundry, sew, cook and create a budget. Maybe those chores will have to be revisited. | 2019-04-22T08:05:45 | https://www.coshoctontribune.com/story/opinion/2016/07/16/basic-life-skills-overlooked-school/86997362/ |
1. Total fat—all heart-healthy fat from plant sources—is higher than the RDA. There are different schools of thought about how much fat one should eat, and I’m on board with this particular way of eating simply because it’s what makes me feel healthiest. I cannot stress enough that what works for one person might not be the optimal diet for another.
2. The label’s sugar grams include all of the natural sugars from the fruit, tomatoes, grains, etc. Added sugars are only around 2-3 grams for the entire day.
3. Everything I ate is in order (listed out below). The rice and beans are listed in the amount of dry ingredients I used before cooking, but of course I ate them cooked!
Once again, this is what works for one person, and everyone is different. Please talk to a certified nutritionist or a doctor if you have any worries about what foods and amounts are right for you.
P.S. My Italian grandmother would be furious to see the system took off a letter grade (from an A to a B+) and gave me “bad points” for the alcohol. I’m guessing the person who developed CalorieCount’s nutrition database was not Italian! | 2019-04-18T13:06:46 | https://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/day-life-nutrition/ |

Hidden amid a floating mat of branches and soda bottles on the Passaic River near the New Jersey Performing Arts Center in Newark was a boater’s nightmare: a thick beam bristling with rusted spikes.
But before it could gut a rowing scull or tear propellers off a fishing boat, the 25-foot-long hazard was swept up by an ungainly looking skimmer boat.
One of North Jersey’s latest weapons in the war on pollution, the S.V. Newark Bay is a 50-foot pontoon boat that gulps all sorts of flotsam, from plastic bags to pieces of piers, on stainless-steel conveyor belts and into an open hold that can stomach six tons of trash.
The skimmer boat, operated by the regional Passaic Valley Sewerage Commissioners, is a welcome sight to Tom Curry, who rows a racing scull out of the Nereid Boat Club in Rutherford.
Curry will never forget the day last November when his oar hit a floating log off Lyndhurst, flipping him into the icy river and slimy bottom mud.
Eyeing a tree branch floating past on the outgoing tide, Smith said he’d like to see a bigger boat that could take out more debris. After rainstorms, he said, trees and logs are swept downstream, sometimes jamming into his dock.
On the skimmer boat, the crew talked about impending delivery of a second boat that will enable it to collect more trash. Designed to go under lower bridges than the 13-foot-high Newark Bay can, the second boat will allow sweeping operations as far up river as the Dundee Dam in Clifton and Garfield, said Bob DeVita, supervisor of the river restoration program.
Shakeout cruises last year collected 70 tons of trash. DeVita aims to double that amount this year. In addition, he organizes riverbank cleanups by volunteer groups that picked up more than 200 tons of shopping carts, tires, and other trash last year.
Yet, every storm and tide bring more throw-away debris.
As the beam scooped up near NJPAC tipped into the hold, crew members recalled previous memorable catches.
The day before this outing, “we snagged a 60-foot tree,” said Frank Dunschat of Kearny, who was operating the boat from the captain’s chair, using levers that enabled him to swivel the vessel like a bulldozer.
Too big to pull aboard, the tree was towed back to the boat’s dock at the sewage treatment plant at the confluence of the Passaic and Hackensack rivers.
Originally designed to help New York City clean up trash that fell off Staten Island-bound garbage barges, skimmer vessels like the S.V. Newark Bay — bought with a $500,000 grant from the New Jersey Maritime Resources agency — are now operating in harbors and rivers around the world.
“We have over 60 worldwide,” said Lou Shenman, who heads a sales office in Westwood for the unusual boats. Called TrashCats, they are built by United Marine International, based in Wisconsin.
The crew skimming the river off Newark laughed about the time they scooped up a pair of mating snapping turtles and gingerly put them back into the water.
“A whole picnic table one time,” said Dunschat, as he maneuvered the boat to sweep in bottles, soggy clothing, a soccer ball, and other jetsam. In an opportunistic bit of recycling, the boat swung toward the Harrison shore and a crew member tossed the soccer ball onto a riverside soccer field.
“We pulled a telephone pole up once. It had signs on it and everything,” DeVita said as he kept an eye on the last of the beam being cut up by a chain saw wielded by Gary Manla of Totowa, wearing orange chaps and life jacket.
Without warning, a jagged tree limb being pulled aboard on the conveyor belt rolled toward his head. “Watch yourself, Gary!” Sullivan called out. A split second from a nasty blow, Manla turned out of the way.
Frank D’Antonio, a Passaic resident who operates a small boat used to aid the sweeper operations, put it more poetically. | 2019-04-18T18:47:10 | http://www.mudcatdredge.com/2001/05/06/shore-patrol-targets-trash-skimmer-rids-river-floating-flotsam/ |
Dental disease is very common in dogs. It is thought to occur in at least 85% of dogs over 5 years of age! The problem often remains hidden as looking in your dog’s mouth is not always easy. Over time, plaque/tartar, bacteria and their breakdown products accumulate around the teeth. Gum disease (gingivitis) then periodontal disease can occur. These can have effects on other areas of the body such as the kidneys and heart. We will also find other mouth problems, including broken teeth and tumours (some benign, some not) which need attention.
How do you recognise dental disease in your dog?
Apart from bad breath, in the earliest stages of dental disease you may notice a build up of plaque – which is a soft off-white material on the teeth. This can be removed by brushing. Later this becomes brown and mineralises to form hard tartar (also called dental calculus). The gums may appear red and inflamed (gingivitis), and later the gum margins start to recede exposing the roots of the teeth and larger areas of inflammation and ulcers may be present. When the tissues that support the teeth are involved, it is called periodontal disease and the teeth become loose and eventually fall out. Painful tooth root abscesses may also form.
Sometimes bacteria associated with dental disease travel via the bloodstream to cause infections in other parts of the body, including the kidneys and the heart.
*Brushing to remove plaque and tartar can help to prevent the establishment of serious dental problems, including periodontal disease. The nurses can help you- make an *appointment if you want to learn how to brush your pet’s teeth.
Specialist prescription diets and *lifestage diets have been formulated to help, plus certain normal diets such as Hills T/D and Hills Vet Essentials have special components to help keep clean teeth.
Many dogs will allow their owners to *brush their teeth, introducing the idea gradually. There are also *dental gels and *chews that will also help.
*Remember, 608 Pet Health Club members qualify for discounts on lifestage diets, examinations, in-house laboratory work, and dental work and shop items such as toothpaste, brushes and dental chews. Plus many other benefits. Look at joining today!
A dental, *scale and polish, plus extractions, as needed are preformed under a general anaesthetic.
Dogs can still eat a wide variety of foods, often including hard kibble, even with no teeth. The most important thing is that they have a comfortable, healthy mouth. | 2019-04-25T21:42:20 | http://www.608vetpractice.co.uk/pet-health/dogs/dental-care-disease/ |
Welcome to the community of Oak Creek and those joining from their homes around the country and worldwide. I’m deeply honored to stand here with you tonight. One year ago, I arrived in Oak Creek for the first time to be with the community in the wake of the tragedy and serve in any way I could. In the days and weeks that followed the tragedy, I had the profound privilege to witness this the community responded not just with grief and sorrow but with the Sikh spirit of Chardi Kala, everlasting optimism and high spirits even in suffering.
I saw the spirit of Chardi Kala when the sons and daughters, nieces and nephews find the courage, in the midst of deep grief, to face the sea of cameras and call for an end to hate, not just against Sikh but all people.
I saw the spirit of Chardi Kala when the families who lost loved ones entered the gurdwara for the first time since the shooting, rolled up their sleeves, turned on the prayers, and got to work. They ripped out the blood-soaked carpets, painted over the bullet holes in the walls, and repaired the shattered windows, rebuilding the gurdwara and returning it to a space of worship — where they then proceeded to pray not just for their loved ones but also for the soul of the gunman.
And I saw the spirit of Chardi Kala when thousands of people of all faiths and creeds gathered in vigils and memorial to mourn and heal together, and respond to this tragedy with a commitment to social change.
One year later, I see the spirit of Chardi Kala in our vigil tonight. You are all here as a testament to the deep bonds of community you have created. You are ensuring that America never forget the lessons of Oak Creek.
America must remember Oak Creek, because the young people of this community who have planned this sacred anniversary event tonight, show us that the most powerful way to honor the memories of those we love is through seva, sacred service.
America must remember Oak Creek, because the Sikh community shows us how a small community can rise from the ashes of tragedy to bring people together in forgiveness and healing. The community has embodied the best of America in the Sikh spirit of resilience.
America must remember Oak Creek, because the city of Oak Creek as a whole can teach people across faiths and colors form a groundswell, we can achieve meaningful policy change in the halls of power and renew our bonds in our homes and houses of worship.
Above all, America must remember Oak Creek, because what happened here could happen again. It could happen in a church or synogogue, a mosque or another gurdwara. In a time when hate and gun violence continue to threaten the safety of our streets and schools, our homes and houses of worship, there are no spectators. Whether in a school in Newtown or a theater in Aurora or the streets of Chicago, violence can rip through any one of our communities.
And Oak Creek in particular – the largest hate-based mass shooting in recent U.S. history, the greatest act of violence on a faith community since the church bombings of the civil rights era – calls upon each of us, every single one of us, to counter hate in our homes and in our own hearts. It calls upon each of us to stand together as a beloved community.
I close with the prayer that we as Sikhs recite at the close of all our ceremonies.
May there be blessings for all of humanity. May all people live and work and worship in these United States without fear. And may Oak Creek stand as a beacon of hope and inspiration on this day and all the days to come.

During his 15-minute speech, Wilson praised President Barack Obama for sending more troops to Afghanistan, citing the attempted bombing Christmas Day of a commercial jetliner bound for Detroit as proof that America must remain vigilant in its defense.
"There are terrorists and jihadists that want to kill as many Americans as they can," Wilson said. "They are virtual kamikazes. I'm very grateful that we will now have reforms in place to prevent something like that from occurring again."

On our way to Virginia, we stopped at O’Bannon Woods State Park in Corydon, Indiana for one night. On our way there, we came across an amazing overlook of the Ohio River. As you are driving east along Highway 62 which just so happens to be also called the Ohio River Scenic Byway, there is a restaurant called the Overlook Restaurant. Just passed that on the right is a parking lot and a great overlook of the Ohio River. If you are towing like we were, on the other side of the road is a gravel area that we parked in.
The Ohio River forms the border between Indiana and Kentucky at this point. We were at the overlook just as the sun was setting.

Probably NOT reported much, if at all, is a huge indicator that Socialist-Globalist Macron's Government is taking the "Yellow Vest" uprising (approaching its third month) seriously. Very seriously indeed.

Once you've configured MedHub integration for your account, the next step is to make sure all of your myTIPreport identities are linked to their MedHub counterparts.
There are a number of different scenarios to cover when it comes to linking identities with MedHub. Choose the one that best matches what you're looking to do. Note, you can manage both learners and teachers using this integration. The experiences are very similar so we'll just cover one here. For each of the topics below, start by logging in as administrator and navigating to the admin channel.
The identities that have been linked between the two systems.
Identities that haven't been linked but have the same email address.
Identities that only exist in myTIPreport.
Identities that only exist in MedHub.
Take a look to make sure the identities match up as you would expect them to. If you're happy with all of the matches, click the "link all users" button. If not, you can click the circular link button for any row. Also, don't worry about making mistakes - all of this can be undone.
Once you've linked the identities, you should see the rows in this table disappear and the count in "Linked Users" rise. If you click back on "Linked Users", you can see the newly linked users show up.
If that process worked for all of your users, click Save Changes and you're all done.
Any identity that shows up here means that it was manually created in myTIPreport before you hooked up MedHub integration and that there is no identity in MedHub with the same email address.
The goal here is to find the corresponding identity from MedHub. For each identity in this list, click the blue "link" button to see a list of unlinked MedHub identities. Choose the MedHub identity that matches this identity. When you've done that, the identities will be linked they'll show up together under "Linked Users".
Do this for all of the identities in this section.
These are identities that exist in MedHub that don't exist in myTIPreport.
Import. Importing an identity will manifest it in myTIPreport with the same attributes it has in MedHub. The user will receive an email with their auto-generated password. This can be done individually by clicking the orange import circle in any row, or it can be done for all users by clicking the "import all" button. This is the best option when you have new learners or teachers who joined that you'd like to add to myTIPreport.
Link. This allows you to link the MedHub user with an existing myTIPreport user. This is very similar to what we did in the previous section.
Identity integration with MedHub is enabled by default at configuration time. If you ever need to disable identity integration so that you can manage users directly, the status of the integration can be managed under Admin > Integrations: Medhub > Identities. | 2019-04-22T18:39:52 | https://mytipreport.org/guides/v1/medhub-identities |
This lovely 3 bedroom 2 bath recently redone home at once elegant and comfortable has the sweet and subtle charm of a French Country Estate.

The deck off kitchen (great for entertaining) and balcony off the master bedroom (great for morning coffee or a glass of wine in the evening) both overlook pond (which beautifully reflect sun rises and sun sets) and the woods beyond. The downstairs office could be a 4th bedroom for family or friends. This lovely home with Brazilian Walnut floors throughout has a beautiful inground pool with bluestone terrace surround great for full out parties or intimate gatherings.

Some people end the day by hitting the sack and falling to sleep almost immediately, then there are the rest of us. We lay down and spend at least 30 minutes rehashing the events of the day. We replay conversations in our minds and cringe at the embarrassing things that we have said. We focus on the things that we forgot to do, and the things that we were unable to do.
Let’s be truthful. There’s nothing productive about this. It’s all just an exercise in increasing self doubt. So, what if we used this sleepless 30 minutes or so to do something constructive? What if there were something we could do to make ourselves feel better about the day we had, and make us look forward to the possibility of tomorrow being a better day?
Good news. This is possible. When negative end-of-the-day thoughts creep in, try asking yourself these seven questions.
1. What makes me feel grateful?
Rather than focusing on what went wrong, ask yourself what made you feel grateful. This is a great way to force yourself to find something positive about a negative day. Gratitude isn’t just feeling thankful, it is a way of changing both your attitude and your perspective.
2. What happened today that made me smile?
There is no better way to improve your mood than to recount the things that made you smile. Anything that you can think of is game here. It doesn’t matter how small or insignificant it seems. If it put a smile on your face, it counts. Were you the recipient of a kind remark from a stranger? Did you have an extra 15 minutes to lay in bed this morning?
3. How am I feeling right now?
If the answer to this question is that you feel lousy, that’s perfectly fine. Yes, the purpose of asking yourself these seven questions is to create positive feelings. However, that doesn’t mean that this process is meant to be saccharine sweet or that you should deny negative feelings. There is something positive and empowering in acknowledging how you feel. However, if you are feeling well, that’s even better!
4. How did I make other people feel today?
This is another question to which you may not have a very positive answer. That’s okay. The truth is we all have days where we just aren’t a positive addition to the lives of others. It’s ugly to think that we have done things that made others feel bad, but reflecting on that can help us prepare to be a positive source.
5. How much stress am I feeling?
Stress has a tendency to creep up on us. All too often, you will be in midst of getting things done, fighting proverbial fires, and just operating in survival mode, and then you hit an emotional wall. The result could be anything from a teary emotional episode to blowing up a loved one who doesn’t deserve it. Asking yourself this question allows you to be honest with yourself about the level of stress that you are under, and to make plans to lower that stress level before things hit critical mass.
6. What can I do better tomorrow?
Before you answer this, keep in mind that the point is to make yourself look forward to tomorrow with positive feelings. So, ‘everything’ is not a good answer here. Instead, try to think of a few specific things you can actually take action on. For example, you cannot lose 30 pounds tomorrow, but you can pick a salad for lunch instead of a fried chicken sandwich.
7. What did I learn today?
If you have learned even one thing, you have something positive to end your day with. They say that the difference between successful people and others is that they can embrace even the worst days as long as they can find at least one lesson learned.

i cant find words to explain how i feel now have brightfull life ever!!!!!
Love this, Donald! I’ve been practicing this for a while now (and writing about it :), and I especially love numbers one and two. At the end of the day, expressing gratitude–toward life and myself as well–puts me to sleep with a smile.
Glad you liked it, Susan! Yes, expressing gratitude is essential for happiness.
Today I discovered that the tires on my car, especially the 2 front tires, are worn on the outer edges and dangerous on the highway. If I had been checking more carefully, I could have seen this weeks ago. I am grateful that I know this now, although it is putting a cramp into my current business activities and also my Thanksgiving. Then I felt grateful that maybe I can rent a car, but the rental places are now closed. New tires are ordered but the order was not completed and that office has closed. So, tomorrow is another day. Compared to the real suffering and atrocities in life, this is a minor inconvenience. And I feel grateful right now.
That’s a great attitude you have. Thanks for sharing!
Instead of asking myself questions, what worked for me was to go to bed w/ a slight smile on my face regardless of how I”m feeling. The smile carries over to the next morning, weird but it worked for me. | 2019-04-24T15:47:50 | http://www.lifeoptimizer.org/2015/11/18/better-tomorrow/ |
As I wrote a while ago, I’ve been starting to crave more greens to my home. Meaning flowers and plants – not any green sofa cushions, throws or any other green decor items for me thanks ;-).
Since I definitely don’t have the greenest fingers, I felt like a low maintenance cactus would be the perfect choice for me – at least to begin with. So I went for cactus shopping, but little did I know there was so many different kinds of cactuses to choose from. Different size, models, more spiky, not that spiky..
My cactus shopping ended up with me going home empty handed, since I simply couldn’t make my mind about which of them would be the one. Well, turns out, I didn’t even have to.. A couple of day ago there was a white little paper bag waiting for me on the kitchen table when I came home..
What was in the bag then? Well, a cactus of course! My boyfriend had gotten it for me as a surprise and even with the risk of sounding cheesy, the cactus he had chosen was just perfect. Everything I hoped from my cactus. So yeah, no bouquets of roses around here, a spiky little cactus is just the perfect surprise for a gal like me, haha!
Accompanying my new spiky friend is a cute little pineapple candle from H&M Home and a lovely Diptyque candle in the scent Mimosa.
Peeping from the side is also a bouquet of hydrangeas, fake though. Although they are the most real looking fake flowers I’ve seen so far. Fresh flowers to all their glory, but I gotta admit these are a much more practical solution for me! And as said, no one would never even guess they aren’t real.. | 2019-04-19T09:03:08 | https://lindajuhola.com/2016/07/15/spiky-little-friend/ |
The project is the Hotchkiss Barn, which dates back to the town’s earliest days in the late 19th century. On August 19, 2010, a microburst powered through the town of Hotchkiss, uprooting enormous trees from one end of town to the other, and wrecking the south end of the barn. Now a dedicated group including young art students at the Creamery, a Forest Service archaeologist, and an accomplished architect, are working hard to raise money to restore this unique historic landmark.
Miller is director, grant writer, and field worker, i.e., the entire paid staff of the Western Colorado Interpretive Association (WCIA), a non-profit working in conjunction with the U.S. Forest Service on the Grand Mesa-Uncompaghre-Gunnison (GMUG) National Forest. Founded in 1988, WCIA’s original mission was to provide educational material in visitor center bookstores. Now, they provide signs and on-site interpretation on five scenic byways, plus historic sites on public and private land in counties surrounding GMUG.
“We don’t have a plan in place to manage historic parcels on public lands,” says Miller, so a big part of her job is getting grants for preservation and interpretive projects. Among other projects, she’s trying to preserve three historic sites in the Escalante Canyon that are beginning to fall apart.
“They are literally being dismantled piece by piece,” she says. Chris is passionate about creating awareness of historic structures. I ask her to tell me why.
In this digital age where everything is global and instantaneous, I press Chris, why does a sense of place, some grounding in a physical reality, matter to a 21st Century child?
She points to the after photo of the barn. “Oh my gosh, this barn has been here 126 years, and the only thing that damaged it was this microburst.
A couple from Olathe comes to buy raffle tickets for a quarter of a grass-fed Princess Beef. Three of these quarter beeves are being raffled, $5 for 3 tickets, $2 for one ticket.
“Your best buy is the five dollars,” Chris counsels.
Architect Bob McHugh, also on duty at the Delta County Fair booth, walks me through a slideshow starting with the arrival of Enos Hotchkiss in the valley in 1881. In 1885, mason Harry Bopp began to make bricks on site. Four years and 100,000 bricks later, the barn was being used for livestock, hay storage, shearing sheep, implement storage, and barn dances.
McHugh approached the Hotchkiss family the day after the microburst. Before too long, archaeologist Leanne Hunt from the Forest Service volunteered to help get the barn placed on the National Register of Historic Places, and the restoration project was born.
Last June, WCIA was awarded a Survey and Planning grant to find the most reasonable and economical way to restore the barn. The study will cost $37,000 and the grant covers half of that. The rest must be matched by the community.
Fundraising efforts included a silent auction of many wonderful representations of the barn by children in Suki Strong’s class at the Creamery Arts Center. Winning bids on the art as well as winners of the three quarter beeves were announced Friday, September 14, at the Creamery’s monthly show opening. Thursday August 23, a Casino Night at the Hotchkiss Elks gave all proceeds to saving the barn, with the last quarter beef the grand prize. The Kids’ Pasta Project on October 15 at Scenic Mesa Ranch rounded out efforts to raise funds for Phase One.
The Save the Barn campaign is well on its way to matching the grant funds. Then they can get the assessment done this fall and begin planning for Phase Two, the bricks and mortar phase.
To contribute to the campaign: Checks payable to “Save the Hotchkiss Barn” can be mailed to First State Bank of Colorado, P.O. Box 38, Hotchkiss, 81419. | 2019-04-23T02:16:30 | http://www.northforkscrapbook.org/features/176 |

More evidence that the prevention of telomere shortening is the key to anti-aging.
Bats are the longest-lived mammals relative to body size, and a species called the greater mouse-eared bat lives especially long.
Researchers now have unlocked some of this bat’s longevity secrets, with hints for fighting the effects of aging in people.
Scientists at University College in Dublin have discovered that unlike in people and most other mammals, the telomeres in the cells of the Greater Mouse-Eared Bat don’t shorten with time – one of the key causes of aging in humans.
Study co-author Emma Teeling and her colleagues conducted wing biopsies on close to 500 bats of four different species at field sites across Europe. Tissue analysis revealed that while the telomeres shortened with age in two bat species, Rhinolophus ferrumequinum and Miniopterus schreibersii, no such change occurred in species belonging to Myotis, the bat species with the greatest longevity.
“Our results suggest that long-lived bats have evolved better mechanisms to prevent and repair age-induced cellular damage,” Teeling tells The Irish Times. “Studying wild bats in an ageing context may provide exciting new solutions to slow down the ageing process and ultimately extend human health-spans,” says Professor Teeling.
Telomeres are protective caps at the ends of chromosomes that shorten each time a cell divides. This drives the natural aging process, leading to a breakdown of cells that over time can drive tissue deterioration and eventually death.
Based on body size, the greater mouse-eared bat would be predicted to have a maximum lifespan of four years. Its range spans from Western Europe into the Middle East. It preys on large, ground-dwelling creatures like beetles, crickets and spiders.
One Truth 818 serum is the only skin serum in the world to contain the TAM-818 molecule, the most powerful telomere protection yet discovered. | 2019-04-21T02:40:11 | https://onetruth818.com.au/telomeres-go-batty-over-bats/ |
← Can I See A Show Of Hands ?
Am I less patriotic if I don’t even own a flag? I think you agree with me by your response to Gail. Yo do not need to fly a flag to show your patriotism, but it is nice to see from time to time. Did you know there is a U. S. Flag Code that tells you when you should definitely display your flag? I would rather display it every day other than the ones they say I should. But that’s just me. I love the lighting in this photo of yours, Joe. Very nice!
Labels are an easy- lazy- way of pigeon-holing someone. I used to be like that till I found out people were doing that to me. I try not to any more but it is a constant struggle.
Have you notice how much less we see the flag displayed than when we have an emergency like 9/11? We always have the flag out – are we supposed to only be patriotic when it’s the “IN” thing to do?
It feels so good to see the love the American people show towards their flag. The effect of the sun on the upper flag is awesome. Your “Stars and Stripes” are patriotic and aestheic at the same time. i’m sure many of your peers will love this razor sharp picture.

In 2018, the foreign trade turnover of agricultural products between Ukraine and the EU countries increased up to USD 9 billion, including USD 6.3 billion of Ukrainian agricultural export.
"According to the results of 2018, the foreign trade turnover of agricultural products between Ukraine and the EU countries increased by 11.4% compared to 2017 and reached more than USD 9 billion, including USD 6.3 billion of Ukrainian agricultural exports," Deputy Agrarian Policy and Food Minister of Ukraine Olha Trofimtseva said, the Ministry’s press service reported.
Ukrainian exports of agricultural products to the EU countries continue to demonstrate annual growth: in 2016 it was slightly more than USD 4 billion, in 2017 - USD 5.8 billion, and in 2018 it exceeds USD 6.3 billion. This dynamics proves success of a free trade agreement between Ukraine and the European Union in the agricultural sector. This gives us reason to say that Ukrainian producers are competitive in the markets of European countries and can successfully export their products in accordance with the highest standards of safety and quality, the deputy minister stressed.
According to Trofimtseva, the key export items supplied to the European Union’s markets are grain (USD 2.2 billion), oilseeds (USD 1.1 billion) and oil (USD 1.1 billion).
Moreover, the deputy minister stressed that the top five trade partners of Ukraine in the EU included the Netherlands with a share of USD 1.2 billion, Spain — USD 1.04 billion, Italy – USD 737.9 million, Germany – USD 667.4 million, and Poland – USD 656.7 million. | 2019-04-19T22:18:02 | http://www.blackseagrain.net/novosti/ukrainian-agricultural-exports-to-eu-grew-by-8-7-last-year-agrarian-policy-ministry |

As of June 1, experts from the Ministry of Tourism will start independent checks of hotels and restaurants on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast. This was announced in Varna today by Minister Nikolina Angelkova, where she had a working meeting with the control authorities for the preparations for the beginning of the season.
Last summer, the Ministry of Tourism remained in the shadow of Deputy Prime Minister Valeri Simeonov, who, together with tax inspectors, closed down bars with violations.
With recent amendments to the Tourism Act adopted last week, however, the Ministry of Tourism now has the right to control tourist sites. The strengthened control functions of the tourist office provide for a control unit to inspect persons providing tourist services and their sites. They will be able to draft protocols, send them to the CPC for ex-post control and sanctions.
The change was due to the numerous reports of violations addressed to the Ministry of Tourism. Until now, only the CPC, at the request of the Ministry of Tourism, could take away the category of accommodation, which put the ministry in a "tied hands" situation. | 2019-04-22T18:31:05 | https://www.novinite.com/articles/189886/The+Ministry+of+Tourism+will+also+Make+Inspections+at+Hotels+and+Restaurants+this+Summer |

While the short glimpse we caught of the city through the tram windows at night-time was enchanting, walking through Edinburgh in daylight was magical. Below the skyline-dominating castle, the Old Town whisks you back to Medieval times with its gothic cathedrals, underground vaults, winding cobbled lanes a-la-Diagon Alley, and brick the colour of the plague. Within and around the Old Town are several beautiful, classically inspired buildings, that gave Edinburgh the nickname ‘Athens of the North’. Literally every corner you turn is a photo opportunity or the location of some significant historical event, and all of it is stunning – as well as more than slightly surreal. | 2019-04-21T06:14:31 | https://greentea2177.wordpress.com/tag/review/ |

The artist wrote that he made several paintings on this theme. 'The bird symbolised for me at a certain period the synthesis of movements and thought. A living image, ceaselessly in movement and space, successively inscribing and destroying this image, a little breath of animal life in the cold space, a fusion of time and space. Moreover the bird is white, white of the non-colour in which the being loses itself and seeks extinction. A period of earlier research ... led me to work exclusively with white for more than three years' (letter of 13 January 1960).
According to Pierre Restany, this search for the most delicate nuances and vibrations, this renunciation of colour, corresponded to Bellegarde's interest in spiritual asceticism closely based on the principles of Zen Buddhism. | 2019-04-25T15:59:26 | https://www.tate.org.uk/art/artworks/bellegarde-bird-i-t00301 |

Using pulse oximetry correctly involves more than just reading the number display, since not all patients with the same SpO2 have the same amount of oxygen in their blood.

‘Street Fighter 4’ – Released and Reviewed as We Get Our Fight On!
A few weeks back we posted gameplay videos of an unexpected and since, highly anticipated, title coming to the iPhone this month. Well, the wait is now over, with Street Fighter 4 [AppStore] launching today! Whilst many were skeptical at Capcom’s ability to port such an critically impressive console title to the portable devices, our time with Street Fighter 4 reveals a surprisingly faithful rendition, if somewhat watered down to suit the smaller scale of the iPhone.
Street Fighter 4 gives you control over 8 characters from the console version; Abel, Blanka, Chun Li, Ryu, Bison, Dhalsim, Guile and Ken (in order of appearance). The game offers an impressive move list, featuring all the special attacks from the console version, leaving out the low and medium punch/kick buttons and their respective moves. The purists amongst you may find this too much of a downsize as it undoubtedly poses a change in pace from the original and diminishes the ability to hit those ridiculously high combos. Having said that, there’s no doubting its authenticity– this is Street Fighter 4 in all its glory.
It is hard really to see how any additional attacks could have been squeezed in, as the on-screen controls already take up a sizeable portion of the real estate available. Super and Ultra attacks are performed by simply tapping their respective bars (which may irk some), though they can still be pulled off in their traditional, anologue stick fashion via the SP button. This SP button also activates EX attacks and together with a Focus button, complements the kick and punch attacks on the right part of the screen. It should be noted that these on-screen elements can be moved around and have their transparency adjusted, to accommodate left-handers and minimalists alike.
Street Fighter 4 looks and runs exquisitely on the 3GS device we tested it on, with impressive animations and the same gorgeous backdrops we were treated to in the console version. Combat in Street Fighter 4 is fast and fluid, and button input is as responsive as we hoped it would be. The AI does a good job at keeping you on your toes too, and can be configured at 4 difficulty levels from beginner to gruelling. There are a number of game modes, from the standard Tournament mode (against 7 competitors, with Bison featuring as the end boss), to a “Dojo" challenge mode, together with a training mode and a single player versus mode. For those who prefer human competitors, a Bluetooth multiplayer mode is available too.
To round out the impressive feature list, Street Fighter 4 sports a full blown replay system and local leaderboards, to record your matches for later viewing, and to breakdown your winnings in both tournament and versus modes. Capcom has certainly created a comprehensive Street Fighter 4 offering, with only WiFi multiplayer and online leader boards remaining on our wish list, together with the inevitable cries for a more extensive character roster.
Street Fighter 4 is easily recommended to any Street Fighter fan or fighting game aficionado. At its core it is a lightweight port of the exceptional console title, so don’t go expecting anything different if you’ve had your SF4 fill. On the other hand, it is amazing that such a game was ported to the AppStore in the first place and the simple fact that you can now bring Street Fighter 4 around in your pocket should be enough to sway many an eager button masher.
Impressions from our forums are collecting fast and are largely positive. Our readers have noted that there is only minimal slowdown on 3G models compared to the 3GS device we tested, and even 1G users are reportedly happy with Street Fighter 4’s performance.

Huawei is the flagship, the spearhead of the Chinese technological advance. This onslaught is not a coincidence. While formally not having direct links with the Chinese government, Huawei has a prominent role in the Chinese strategic technological plan “Made in China 2025“, because of its development and implementation of 5G networks, key part of the plan, which are estimated to be available around soon.

A strange Hebrew Benjamin Franklin story.
"The letters themselves contain secret magical properties. Gazing at them, even without understanding penetrate the heart and soul. Benjamin Franklin related: 'One time I was sitting and reading books, and a Jew named Peretz was also bent over a book. I knew that this Peretz was illiterate. Being curious by nature I asked him about it. He responded that it is due to God's benevolence that man can be involved with books, even if he does not know how to read!'"
Does anyone have any idea what the source for this Benjamin Franklin story is? I'd never heard of it. It even has the Jew's name?! Most strange.
The only thing I can think of is that it actually refers to Benjamin Franklin Peixotto (1834-1890), U.S. consul to Romania during a period of terrible persecution of the Jews. In Bucharest he did much for the rights of the local Jews.
An unusual paraphrased poetic rendition of Psalm 119 by an early 20th century socialite.
The book is apparently hand written (and lithographed, I guess) and was published around 1913. The author's name is Grace Sanders Keefer (she was also known by other names). The book is her own poetic rendition of Psalm 119 in English, preserving the alphabetic character of this 176-verse Psalm. Thus, the aleph verses begin with the letter A, beis with B, etc. She carries it all the way through, with some creative license.
2 Happy are they that keep His testimonies, that seek Him with the whole heart.
3 Yea, they do no unrighteousness; they walk in His ways.
1 A straight man goeth about in perfect equanimity: he keeps on going in the Law of Jahweh.
2 A straight man guards The Spirit (of The Law) with all his heart expressing it.
3 Added to this he does not leave behing him a trail of crookedness.
The purpose of this translation is to testify in I-Am-ness: Individualism the Equilateral Concepts/ Symbolism of AREALISM JUDAISM ROMANISM and to open the "Sealed Orders," "The Veil of The Temple", To The Light of the Simple Truth.
No, that doesn't make any more sense to me. Still, the translation is very creative, the lettering very nice (I assume she did it herself). Unfortunately I wasn't able to uncover much about her other than that she was a socialite based in Atlanta and New York and involved in two messy divorces, which made the newspapers (her first husband was of the Macy family, as in Macy's). Judging by the year of her first marriage (1905) I'll guess that she was about 30, or in her early 30s when this book was produced.
Incidentally, the idea of re-writing Psalms has a long history. For example, see כהנת אברהם (1719) by Abraham Hakohen ben Shabbetai of Zante, which features lengthy poems based on all 150 Psalms. It also includes poems based on Perek Shirah, which is usually not mentioned when this book is discussed.
Midnight Intruders - I review Avner Gold's historical novel about Chacham Tzvi and Nechemia Chayun.
Almost one year ago I referenced Midnight Intruders (Artscroll 2009) by Avner Gold (pseudonym for Yosef Reinman). I said that I would review it shortly. Recently someone reminded me that 11 months later is not shortly. So here is my review.
Midnight Intruders is a historical novel set during the early period of Chacham Tzvi Ashkenazi's life, climaxing during his rabbinate in Amsterdam where he was initially popular and respected. It did not take long though before he made some enemies. An unsuccessful attempt was even made to dismiss him. Then when a genuine scandal/ machlokes erupted, Chacham Tzvi's enemies whipped up a situation to the point where he felt compelled to literally flee Amsterdam clandestinely.
In brief, Nehemiah Hiyya Hayun (sometimes described as a 'Heresiarch') appeared in Amsterdam in 1713. Hayun was in Amsterdam aiming to print a book called Mehemnuta de-Kula (which some think was actually written by Shabbetai Tzvi himself) with his own commentaries. Chacham Tzvi (and R. Moshe Hagiz, although we will leave him out of this abstract) examined the book and declared it heretical. He informed the Sephardim of this decision, and their rabbi, Solomon Ayllon, became very angry, insisting that it was a major slight to the Sephardim that Tzvi should feel that he can dictate to the Sephardim, who were the older and better community. The reverse should be true.
So the Mahamad (the lay leadership of the Sephardim) appointed a commission of 7 members, including Ayllon, who would investigate Hayun's book and make an independent judgment. Each member received a copy.
In the meantime, Chacham Tzvi (and Hagiz) were trying to procure a copy of the book so that they could set out the case against Hayun clearly, and wrote to those who had given approbations to determine the circumstances, if they were authentic, etc. Then they wrote an official ban on the book, which angered Ayllon further. In response, he and his committee declared that Hayun is free of guilt, and that the book was fine and should be considered a standard Kabbalistic book. They apologized to Hayun and then he was treated like a respected guest.
One thing led to another, letters from near and far, bans, broadsheets, insults, interest from the secular authorities - when all was said and done, Chacham Tzvi and his family slipped out of Amsterdam, lest he be arrested on grounds of disturbing the peace.
Midnight Intruders is set against this background, although the first part of the book takes place earlier in Chacham Tzvi's life. The main character of the book is a fictional person called Rabbi Amos Strasbourg, who Gold/ Reinman sets as a close personal friend of Chacham Tzvi. Rabbi Amos Strasbourg is a character in several other books of the same series. Therefore Gold is able to set him up as a witness to the events, and to a certain extent they are seen through his eyes. There's a bit of a thriller element to the plot, but I assume readers of this blog are not going to be particularly interested in my take on that, so I decided not to summarize it - except for a little bit at the end.
I will point out here that I have a possible quibble with Amos Strasbourg's name. The book is set in the late 17th and early 18th century. As far as I can tell Jews were not allowed to live in Strasbourg until the late 18th century, making this surname impossible, I think. But of course I could be mistaken.
The narrative is colorful, and full of historical tidbits, Jewish and non-Jewish. It is definitely of acceptable quality, and often even better than that. On the other hand, the book makes heavy use of what they call "the exposition fairy," that is, when characters explain things which in reality would not be explained by the real characters. "The exposition fairy" is when a cop tells another cop what an "alibi" means, or explains an interrogation technique to a colleague, or some such thing. So, for example, on pg. 45 we read of a conversation where young Chacham Tzvi explains the meaning of the acronym "zak" (zerah kodesh) in his grandfather's name to Amos, who says that it is "an unsual name." On pg. 127 there is a random aside where one character explains that the Italian minhag is older than both the Sephardic and Ashkenazic.
I'll admit it is somewhat odd to read of the youngish Chacham Tzvi "grin[ning]" and telling Amos "I can't let you carry your own bags. I mean, what kind of host would I be if I did that?" Actually, in my opinion Gold has Chacham Tzvi acting too young at first. He treats him almost like he's a little bit giddy, but he's 30 years old at the time. I guess the narrative could have been impossible if it had been set any earlier, but in my opinion Chacham Tzvi acts like he's in his 20, not 30. That said this is only my impression. It is evident that Gold did not mean to do this. As he writes in the introduction, "I would not presume to put words into the mouth of Chacham Tzvi other than ordinary conversation, which I labored to portray in a manner suitable to a rabbi of such stellar stature." As we shall see he does not *entirely* succeed. That's understandable. Gold asks for Chacham Tzvi's forgiveness if he unintentionally wrote anything which impinges upon his honor. I'd say he is covered.
When he discussed R. Elijah of Chelm's golem (pg. 47) Gold makes the all-too-common mistake of taking "zikni" literally, and calls him his "grandfather." But this "grandfather" of Chacham Tzvi died in 1583, or approximately 73 years before Tzvi was born. Nearly impossible, and very improbable. R. Elijah was not his grandfather, but his ancestor.
I also take issue with Gold's reinforcing the historical truth of this golem, as he does by having Amos react mildly skeptically, and then Tzvi assuring him that it is "Absolutely" true, since "everyone the story passed through was a reliable talmid chacham." He then seals the deal by citing the Gemara that Rava made a golem. Although I'm not fully within my rights to complain about it since obviously Gold believes it himself, in my opinion this is not a good thing to reinforce in children, because it endlessly creates generations of children, many of whom will go through various kinds of painful withdrawals from such beliefs.
On pg. 49 there is a nice little message, that "it's good to know something about the Jewish people outside your own little circle," which is placed in the mouth of Tzvi, explaining why his father sent him to the Sephardic yeshiva in Salonica. Gold clearly believes this, as he has written numerous books describing upstanding Jews with Spanish names and manners and so forth. I will go out on a limb and say that I believe more than one frum kid has learned a little bit about the diversity of the Jewish world and history from his books. Just to throw out one random example, on pg. 134 we hear tell of a young lady named "Signora Raquel Tarantella," who is obviously not a Bais Yaakov girl, but presumably a kallah nangeh vaasuda.
On the same page he - surprisingly, I think - has Chacham Tzvi say that when he was 8 years old - the year of Shabbetai Tsvi - he was disappointed, having held out hope that maybe he was the Messiah. As far as I can tell there is nothing historical to support this, but this is a didactic moment for Gold, who then has Tzvi saying that afterward "there was nothing more to talk about," people were disappointed, they went on with their lives, and continued to pray and yearn for the Messiah. This also is an opportunity to explain about the Donmeh and other Sabbatians.
There's nothing wrong with colloquialisms, and the characters certainly speak in a mixture of 21st century English and Yeshivish, but I have to smile at Tzvi saying "there were many talmidei chachamim in Amsterdam with whom to talk in learning" and the like. (pg. 51) Incidentally, on the same page Gold has Amos opine that 25 is a good age to get married, with the caveat that "there's no guarantee that you'll get married within six months" if you start looking at 25. Tzvi agrees.
On pg. 73 & 78 he indulges very mildly in a stereotype which made me a little uncomforable, when Amos promises a Dutch captain who helped him with a night of drinking on his tab. The captain agrees, but says he'll take two nights. Amos agrees once more. Then later he reminds Amos that he expects him to pay up, "I want those free drinks." To be sure, many good qualities of this captain, as well as the Dutch in general, are enumerated, and Amos specifically says that he knows that the captain helped him because of his kind heart, and not becuase he needed free drinks. And yet, we can well imagine a parallel scenario with a Jew and money or some such thing, and I've no doubt that Gold himself would feel uncomfortable by that. I don't think any harm was meant here at all. I'm just saying. Not being totally PC is not the crime of the century, but it rubbed me wrong, especially as this is a book for children and an opportunity to reinforce values and ideas, which is clearly not lost on Gold.
On pg. 85 Tzvi is telling Amos about the pain of losing his wife and child, and how he recalls her. He lists her good qualities, and then says that he remembers her sitting with pleasure at the Shabbos table, listening to him and his father discuss a very complicated sugya "even though she really couldn't be expected to understand what we were saying." Although from a historical perspective this is almost certainly true, one can't help but feeling that here the Chacham Tzvi is Gold commenting about the 21st century as well. The whole scene is actually very moving, but I had to mention it.
Referring to what I wrote earlier, that Gold labored not to put thoughts and ideas into Tzvi that you can't find in his own writings, he also writes that he took the liberty of including some of his own Torah, putting it in the mouth of Strasbourg, as he does for example on pg. 130-31. Clever, and nothing wrong with it, but I thought the idea of having Chacham Tzvi approve is a little . . . self-confident. To be sure, he actually has another historical rabbi, Rabbi Shmuel Aboab, do the approving, while Chacham Tzvi stands by and listens (except to say "And I," seconding the rabbi's agreeing with Amos/ Gold's description of a certain human experience). Obviosuly Chacham Tzvi doesn't disagree. It's okay, really, but it is what it is: Gold says over his Torah while the Chacham Tzvi listens and does not object. On pg 182 - 3 he does this again, and this time Chacham Tzvi claps his hands together with delight upon hearing a Torah thought from Gold. He even says "I love [the explanation], and I believe it is true."
On pg. 138 we meet a "Rebbetzin," which I suspect (but I am not certain) is not a term in use yet. I know people will point to the Romance suffix -etze, but I'd need to see some proof. Since I know that the burden of proof can't be on him unless I have some good grounds for doubting that this word was used, I mention it only so that some reader might be able to set the record straight. He has this Rebbetzin say a certain Yiddish saying in the name of her grandmother. I doubt this saying goes back to the early 1600s.
On pg. 139 there is a little dig at early modern medicine, the four humors and so forth. Hm.
On pg. 149 Gold has one of his main protagonists in earlier books, Rabbi Shlomo Pulichev, clarify that some people don't have the temperament to learn Gemara all day, and that they should set aside some time daily, and learn what appeals to them. Further, if the main pillar in one's life is not Torah, then they should build up the pillar of kindness. If they cannot learn Torah every minute, then live Torah.
On pg. 157 he has Hayun taking in people by posing as a holy man. He declares a baby a gilgul (reincarnated soul). And herein lies the rub. You can't really tell the difference between a fake kabbalist and a real one, can you? Later in the book Gold will make an effort to explain that Hayun's teachings are only subtly different from actual kabbalah, but of course his are very bad and very dangerous. Of course he doesn't explain what those teachings are, or why they should be only subtly different from authentic kabbalah. Point of interest: Hayun's teaching combined a sort of Deism and a Triune conception of God. He felt that God is three; one is called Atika Kadisha, the Ancient Holy One. This aspect of God is removed from the creation, and indeed did not even create. But emanating from Atika Kadisha is Elohei Yisrael, the God of Israel who is the God of cretion and history who is not remote from creation, and Shechinah, or the Presence. Not sure what the Presence does, but of course Elohei Yisrael and Shechinah have to be united, etc. Is this is subtly different from Kabbalah?
On pg. 183 the fact that Chacham Tzvi constantly eschewed gifts and "extras" routinely offered to rabbis is stressed (as it is in several other places in the book) with the explanation that accepting largesse (apart from an earned salary) results in corruption and the tainting of leadership, even subtly. In case the point isn't clear, Gold mentions "money, honors, favors" as well as "support for our yeshivos and charities," all of which are in order to gain some control over [them].
This is an authentic view of Chacham Tzvi, at least how he conducted himself personally, and the reader can be forgiven for wondering if/ how it applies to contemporary times and the community which Gold himself lives in and associates with.
On pg. 187 he mentions the nature of Chacham Tzvi's klaus in Altona, as described by his son. There the study was "Gemara, Rishonim, Halachah, Aggadah, Midrash and even the rules of grammar." Again, thinking of contemporary times, what is a young reader supposed to think when his Beis Midrash studies, well, a very different sort of curriculum?
On pg. 198 the exposition fairy comes to explain to the reader what Sabbatians are all about (this time its Amos who suddenly knows nothing about Sabbatians). Chacham Tzvi tells him that "Believe me, they sound just like you and me. Even when they discuss Kabbalah, it's hard to recognize their true colors." He also states that their understanding of the nature of God "in a certain way, it has a strong resemblance to Christianity." In any case, this leads to an opportunity for them to dicuss a situation which would appear as #13 in Shu"th Chacham Tzvi.
On pg. 204 the fine quality of printing in Amsterdam is mentioned, along with R. Moshe Frankfurt, who published the 1724 Amsterdam edition of the Mikrah Gedola, called Kehillat Moshe.
On pg. 210 there is mention of a character (known from earlier books, apparently) formerly called Felipe, now known as Rabbi Pinhas Dominguez, an up-and-coming Dayan. "Who knows? Maybe someday they'll be calling him Chacham Pinhas?" says a character. In my opinion this is a mischaracterization of the nature of the Western Sephardim, using the behavior of present-day ba'alei teshuva as a model. Today ba'alei teshuva are likely to take or begin using a Hebrew name. As far as I can tell, the Western Sephardim used their Hebrew name in Hebrew, whether in writing or when called to the Torah, but their Spanish name when the language was spoken or written. This is not in fact substantially different from the Ashkenazim, who also used Hebrew names in Hebrew and their Yiddish (i.e., Germanic) name when that language was spoken or written. Don't be fooled by the Hebrew letters. Thus I don't think that Felipe to Pinhas was a sign of a change for the better, of increased piety and religiosity. I think that Haham Pinhas probably continued to be called Felipe - as long as Spanish (or Portuguese, of course) was being used.
On pg. 214 there's a black man dressed in a cape and a wide white felt hat with purple plumes. I'm sure Gold meant well, as the character (who is also from earlier books) is clearly meant to be portrayed positively, and Amos and the man embrace. Nevertheless, the imagery is interesting, albeit unintentional I'm sure.
Pg. 238 is interesting, because here Chacham Tzvi talks about the famous case of the "chicken with no heart." Gold has Tzvi says that "It most certainly had a heart. Chickens cannot live without hearts. Any rational person can understand that, but I wrote back many proofs from the Zohar and the Maharal to make sure they accept my ruling. Can you imagine what I have to contend with?" - which encapsulates his position very well, but is a little surprising in view of the fact that other rabbis disagreed, including most famously a young R. Yonasan Eybeschutz, who presumably is considered a rational person.
The treatment of Rabbi Solomon Ayllon is interesting. On the one hand he was the Chief Rabbi of the Sephardim of Amsterdam, a very important community and rabbinate. On the other hand he really was a Sabbatian, and an antagonist of Chacham Tzvi. Yet I am guessing that in a book for children, to portray him as totally a bad guy does not do wonders for the institution of the rabbinate. So Gold downplays Ayllon's Sabbatianism, only allowing that he dabbled in it in his youth. Give this, his youthful - rather than ongoing - Sabbatianism, how to explain his support for Hayun? Was it stupidity? Honor? Gold concocts an explanation that Hayun had something on him and forced him to support him. He even has Ayllon refuse to write a haskmah for Hayun outright.
Furthermore, Ayllon was one of the early "recognizers" of Chacham Tzvi's worth as a great scholar, dating to his time in London, and Gold realizes that this is useful. So why do away with him? Instead of portraying him as you'd expect, a really bad guy, he portrays him as basically innocent, kind of doddering (at age 50!) and the object of blackmail. In my opinion this works for fiction, but doesn't match the history.
On pg. 281 once again the "subtle" differences from the teachings of Hayun and Sabbatian kabbalah from the genuine article is stressed. The youthful reader must be awfully intrigued at this point!
On pg. 284 - 86 a meeting between Tzvi and Hayun is described (indeed, the meeting is depicted on the book's cover).
This brings us back to pg. 11, where Gold writes that "there seems to be some confusion [in the historical sources] about whether Chacham Tzvi and Chayun had met previously in Sarajevo and if they had a face-to-face confrontation in Amsterdam. For the purposes of this book I have assumed that both events took place, and I have described them." In my opinion there is no confusion. Before Hayun even arrived in Amsterdam, but his impending arrival was known, Chacham Tzvi initially thought that he was the very same Hiyya Hayun - a different man know as "ha-Arukh," "the Tall One" - with whom he had an argument earlier in his life in Sarajevo (and as a result of which he had to leave that rabbinate). Hearing that Hayun was set to arrive, Chacham Tzvi informed the Portuguese Jews that he was a bad man and no assistance should be given to him. When he was refused entry to the synagogue by the Sephardim, he came to Chacham Tzvi, who realized that he had been mistaken, and so he retracted his statement. Of course this got everything off to a bad foot. However, it is difficult to argue that what resulted would not have occurred anyway. That this occurred can be proven by documents published by Freimann, in which the episode concerning Chacham Tzvi's initial warning about Hayun, and then his retraction when he realized that he mistook him for his earlier enemy are published.
Gold portrays the whole situation very differently. I can only conclude that Gold decided to assume that he was the same man because if he wasn't then Chacham Tzvi looks a tiny bit bad. Yes, he was right about Hayun in general, but before reading one word he wrote or meeting him, he declared him treif-possul - thinking he was a man that he himself had quarreled with previously. The fact that he retracted his criticism might make him look very honorable, but the problem is that the real Hayun turned out to be someone who you would not want to apologize to. So the matter disappears entirely if you assume that they were the same person, and don't mention anything about the initial accusation and retraction.
In any case, when all is said and done the book ends with a deathbed confession by a fictional character called Gunther Wieselthier, a German printer, who appears throughout the book and is described as a very nice guy. It turns out that he was really a character called Sergio Setubal, from an earlier story. Apparently he had a personal problem with one of the characters, and so he decided to reinvent himself and plotted for nearly thirty years to take his revenge, not only against this man, but against the entire Jewish community of Amsterdam. He confesses that he basically used Hayun in Amsterdam, and that he was responsible for many of the broadsides on both sides once the controversy erupted. He had used his knowledge of the community, gained by a network of spies whom he had employed, to set people against one another. In other words, the entire Hayun episode was really orchestrated by this fictional character. He does express regret as he lay there dying, and Gold even makes the man's conscience cause him to make sure that Chacham Tzvi know that he was about to be arrested, enabling him to sneak out of Amsterdam. But there is something unsettling about an entirely invented character, who happens not to be Jewish, responsible for a series of unfortunate events which, sadly, all indications are that they were the responsibility of those involved.
A couple of more comments and then the bottom line. The primary source for the historical events is the account provided by Chacham Tzvi's son R. Yaakov Emden in Megillas Sefer (I will review the new English edition soon). Obviously this source is one-sided, but Gold also acknowledges that he used "secular sources" or "general sources which I have not enumerated." An explanation of this might be nice. There are a few dozen footnotes and, as indicated, the only historical source cited is Megillas Sefer (apart for Shu"th Chacham Tzvi). I don't know which other sources he used. Did he use the Encyclopedia Judaica? Freimann's Inyanei Shabbetai Sevi (which is a collection of primary sources, so I'm not sure why it would be "general" or "secular)? The articles on Hayun or Ayllon in Sefunot (including the latter's Sabbatian writings)? Judith Bleich's MA dissertation on Chacham Tzvi in Amsterdam? Elisheva Carlebach's The Pursuit of Heresy? He doesn't say. So on the one hand, it would have been nice to know what he used. On the other hand, it is good that he acknowledged that these sources exist and that he used them. The footnotes are a positive step for historical fiction, and especially for a book for frum kids. Even the very fact of referencing Megillas Sefer is a good thing.
When all is said and done, the book is acceptable. I think on balance it does more good for kids than not. I will acknowledge that I myself was very drawn to certain books by Avner Gold when I was a child. He certainly succeeds in whetting appetites for historical knowledge of a very interesting period in Jewish history. His own love for history is apparent. His use of responsa to derive historical information is sound. The plot and narrative are fine for children. The prose is uneven, but sometimes it's very good. I obviously have my quibbles, but when all is said and done the balance sheet is in Avner Gold/ Yosef Reinman's favor. I know some will say that I am damning with faint praise, but I like to think that I used תוכחת מגולה ואהבה מסותרה (Ramban's introduction to the Torah, regarding Ibn Ezra). I commend and encourage Avner Gold/ Reinman to keep on keeping on.
On Rabbi Moses Kunitz's interesting responsa.
In my opinion one of the most interesting works of responsa literature is R. Moshe Kunitz's המצרף (Vienna 1820; Vol II. Prague 1857). A good chunk of it deals with questions he received concerning his book בן יוחאי (Vienna 1815), which he wrote to prove that the Zohar was really the work of Rabbi Shimon ben Yochai, although the work is much more than that since it also deals with all of Rabbi Shimon's statements in rabbinic literature. Judging by the amount of questions asked and the variety of the correspondents, the book had made a very big splash.
R. Moshe Kunitz was not entirely "traditional," for lack of a better term. However, we might take his book as a defense of the traditional opinion about the Zohar, and R. Yaakov Emden's book מטפחת ספרים as championing the non-traditional view. Along these lines, there is a statement attributed to the Chasam Sofer by his son R. Shimon, to the effect that his father had wished that the authorship of these two books were reversed, to which Dan Rabinowitz called attention. I'm not entirely convinced that the meaning of this statement, assuming it's true, can be understood. I see it as having two possible meanings.
1) The Chasam Sofer felt that Ben Yochai was the stronger and better book, only he wished that it could have had the authority it would have received by being written by a stronger and better rabbi. Conversely, Mitpachas Sefarim would have been taken considerably less seriously if it had been written by someone like R. Moshe Kunitz.
2) The Chasam Sofer felt that Mitpachas Sefarim was the stronger and better book, but attacks on the Zohar were harmful to the traditionalist cause, while defenses were helpful. Therefore even though the stronger book was the one attacking the Zohar, it would have been more helpful to the traditionalist cause if it had not been written by an authority such as R. Yaakov Emden, but only a R. Moshe Kunitz. Conversely the defense of the Zohar would have been better for the traditionalists had it been written by the greater authority, Emden.
#3 some rabbis prefer that Jews call the city Lvov by that name, rather than "Lemberg," (its German name). Why is that, considering that Lvov is not a name in Hebrew? R. Kunitz answers that we can see in rabbinic literature "הר שומרון" is sometimes referred to by its Roman name "סבסטי." If it was not important for our ancestors who used the Hebrew language in their own land, to refer to a certain place by its Hebrew name, all the more so is it unimportant to prefer one gentile name for a place over another. He adds the caveat that his comment is not intended to give any ruling about writing a get in Lvov/ Lemberg.
#14 Herz Homberg asks, when did the Jews begin counting in writing using Hebrew letters?
#19. Judah Leib Benzeev asks, with regard to 1 Kings 17:19, when Elijah resurrected a boy from the dead, how was this permitted in light of Chazal who taught that Elijah was a kohen, and thus contact with the dead not permitted?
#23 is from - you cannot make this up - Dr. Frankenstein of Vienna (מו"ה יצחק אייזק פראנקענשטיין רופא אומן בווין הבירה), who asks regarding if it is preferable for a mohel to also be a physician.
#41 is from Moses Israel Landau, who asks why precisely the age of 13 and a day is when the obligation for mitzvos commences.
#56 is from a Christian scholar (מופלג בתורה) named Ferdinandus Bonadi [? sic] of Klausenberg, who asks to explain a passage in Eruvin 21b concerning Solomon's 3000 proverbs for every word of the Torah and 5 reasons for every word of the Sofrim.
#63 is from Yitzchak Shmuel Reggio. At the time this was printed (1820) Reggio was still a staunch believer in Kabbalah, and his questions concern Ben Yochai, which he was much taken by. He even writes that had Mendelssohn read Kunitz's Ben Yochai then perhaps he would not have written in Ohr Le-netiva (his introduction to the Torah) that the Zohar did not enjoy the sanction of all Jews once it was revealed!
Here is as good a place as any to point out that Mendelssohn believed in the authenticity of Kabbalah, or at least did not disbelieve in it. The context of Reggio's remark concerns a passage in the Ohr Le-netiva about the nekkudot and te'amim (see here). Mendelssohn mentions the view of R. Eliyahu Bachur that the signs and accents were invented after the Talmud. Mendelssohn writes that R. Azariah de Rossi refuted his view using the writings of the Zohar, Bahir, etc. and - writes Mendelssohn - these preceded not only the Talmud, but even the Mishnah's composition.
He then mentions a defense one might offer for Levita's (Bachur's) opinion, that the books of the Mekubalim were not yet printed and widely circulated in his day. However, had he lived now (i.e., 1770 or so) he surely would have admitted his mistake! However, admits Mendelssohn, the reality is that the proofs from the Zohar and related works are problematic because 1) the books of Kabbalah do not have the same authority as the Mishnah and Talmud and 2) they undoubtedly include later additions, as proved by R. Yaakov Emden in Mitpachas Soferim. However, ultimately R. Eliyahu's view has been refuted and rejected by later authors, and the passages cited by R. Azariah de Rossi from the Zohar and such works is sufficient to defeat his view.
The argument is that "to a man" the Mendelssohn circle denied the authenticity of kabbalah. On what basis other than a stereotype could Rabbi Eliach say that Dubno's former colleagues denied Kabbalah "to a man?" Instead we see that Mendelssohn accepted the authenticity of the Kabbalah (at least as much as did Yaavetz), and we have even stronger proof of this than the fact that Solomon Dubno owned works on Kabbalah - as did, no doubt, Mendelssohn too.
#96 - 99 concerns the Targum to Amos 6:1 which laments those who name their children with gentile names. Kunitz was asked if this is not a basis for those who are opposed in their own time to Jews using non-Jewish names. Kunitz finds that it is not. #99 in particular justifies such use, giving a laundry list of Talmudic sages who used non-Jewish names. In addition, he shows that 'modern' Yiddish names are German. Kunitz writes that this was the Jewish practice in all ages, and if they are not prophets than they are the sons of prophets.
#119 is an interesting question, concerning the fact that in Poland the rabbis call the laymen "Rabbi." Isn't this מחזי כיהורא, religious haughtiness? R. Kunitz answers rather ingeniously, quoting Avoth de-Rabbi Nathan, that Eve used to call Adam "Rabbi" (i.e., My master). Kunitz points out that this is equivalent to "Adoni," which is Scriptural usage for "Sir." Therefore it is not inappropriate to call laymen in Poland "Rabbi" at all.
#131 Shimshon Bloch asks where certain ma'amarei Chazal concerning how a person is supposed to view forbidden things (with desire, but resolve to abstain for them because God so decreed). I guess this is a graphic reminded that at the time indexes, thesauri and encyclopedias of rabbinic literature were lacking. Today it's very easy to pretend you know everything.
#152 Judah Leib Benzeev asks a very interesting question. The Talmud Berachos 55b says "לקיים מה שנאמר כל החלומות הולכין אחר הפה." Nothing like it is found in Tanach. He paranthetically adds that given his own interests (Bible expert, translator of Ben Sira) you can believe that he searched carefully, including in the Apocrypha. While noting that the Gemara itself in this very spot seems to recognize the problem, what is the real answer?
#167 is from Herz Homberg, who asks when the Jews adopted the month names and why.
#231 Shlomo Pergamenter asks why Mah Nishtana begins with "mah" rather than "lemah." Secondly, how could the son ask about things he hasn't yet seen?
The book includes many, many more interesting things. For example, it includes a written teshuva from R. Nosson Adler, to a question asked by Kunitz (#20); Kunitz includes as well a letter from the Chasam Sofer certifying that it is authentic. It includes (#42) a question on Kunitz's Ben Yochai from R. Yaakov Emden's Mitpachas Sefarim by a student of R. Yaakov Emden, signed from Berlin "ידידיה בנ אבישלום מבית מדרש של יעב"ץ." There are many letters from R. Elazar Fleckeles, R. Bezalel Ranschburg, and many concerning לימוד תורה לעכו"ם. Also, as I said, by far most questions concern his Ben Yochai.
Although this post is about the book, not the man, I would be remiss if I did not mention that Kunitz had the misfortune of having a letter of his included in the Reformist book Nogah Ha-tzedek. Being a somewhat liberal rabbi, it is not surprising that he had some positive things to say in response to some suggestions of reform. Thus, he supported the suggestions of using the organ in prayer, reserving the silent Shemoneh Esrei for recitation at home (this is most interesting, since today there are many Orthodox Jews who have little use for the Reader's repetition. But my guess is they would never have thought of retaining it but omitting the silent Shemoneh Esrei instead.) and for changing the Hebrew pronunciation from Ashkenazic to Sepharadic. On the last point he makes the amazing claim - from our perspective - that 7/8ths of the world's Jews were Sephardim. Although I don't know if anyone in 1818 could have known one way or the other, in actual fact the situation was almost exactly the opposite. He also mentions the fact that R. Nosson Adler prayed using the Sefardic pronunciation, which he personally witnessed. Interestingly in a letter printed directly before R. Kunitz's. R. Aharon Chorin also says that he witnessed R. Adler pray in this fashion many times when he visited Vienna.
When all is said and done Kunitz does not seem to have been remembered by Orthodox history as a Reform rabbi, unlike Choriner (and Reform history). In addition, you can see from many of the rabbinic letters in the second volume of Hamatzref (the letters all date to after the publication of the first volume, and thus after his letter was printed in Eliezer Libermann's Nogah Hatzedek) that he remained in the good graces of his colleagues. Ultimately Kunitz remains one of those rabbis who one can cite if one likes what he has to say, or one can dismiss and condemn if someone else quotes something by him that one doesn't like, after the fashion of certain writers.
Michelle Bachman's mispronunciation of "חוצפה" of as "choot spa" made the news recently. She is hardly the first to make this mistake. In "Onward and upward: a biography of Katharine S. White," by Linda H. Davis (pg. 3) we see that S.N. Behrman always called White "Madame C." It seems the genesis of this nickname came about in 1954 when she mispronounced "the Yiddish colloquialism chutzpah, which the usually correct [New Yorker] editor called "chootsbah." White herself recalled that "It tickled Sam [Behrman] pink and he later told me I was known all over Broadway as Mme. C."
The Berlin salons, though never equal to the French in wit or politeness, soon gained a reputation; it was chiefly in them that the peculiar effluence called 'Geist' might be discerned. For this kind of light sarcastic humour, smart but superficial, and manufactured every day according to a recipe which is simple enough when stated, the fashionable Jew has always shown his aptitude. We cannot overlook it in Disraeli's novels; and French writers like Drumont confess with a sigh that the young Hebrew of the 'Gaulois' or the 'Figaro' is, in this respect, more Parisian than the Parisians themselves. Its native name is chutzbah, or—to translate very mildly—' self-confidence.' Schopenhauer has remarked, with his usual acuteness, that there is one quality which is conspicuous by its absence from the Jewish character,—it is verecundia, modesty, the shy feeling which in true genius resembles the blush on a maiden's cheek, and heightens the grace that it seems to render uncertain. Compare, from this point of view, Shelley's or even Shakespeare's lyric verse with Heine's,—and yet Heine, in the ' Buch der Lieder,' is supreme among the New-Hebrew singers. But he is never diffident, not in the most troubled or the most passionate hour of his serenading. And his prose, with its Oriental richness, its epigrams, its lightning-flashes, abounds in chutzbah; it has the insolence of a parvenu that has ' arrived,' not by reason of his wealth, but thanks to his undeniable gifts of genius.
The modern reader is no doubt perplexed by such passages. What is wrong with "self-confidence?" Or "undeniable gifts of genius?" The writer also states that "It has taken some thirty centuries to make the modern Jew. Will it take fewer to unmake him? Jacob reforms his Liturgy in Hamburg and New York; but himself neither he, nor we, can reform."
The rabbinic family with the 'Christian' surname Kristianpoller.
Without a doubt one of the most unusual Jewish surnames is Kristianpoller. People bearing this name originate from Krystynopol. A famous Galician rabbinic family bore this surname, particularly R. Meir Kristianpoller (1740-1815) and his son R. Yechiel Michel (?-1863), both rabbis of Brody.
Similarly, you can see how he spelled his name in this letter included in Hirsch Edelmann's biography of Saul Wahl, Poland's Jewish "king for a day."
It's interesting, if not somewhat suspicious, how the name is spelled in Rabbi Meir Wunder's אנציקלופדיה לחכמי גליציה (Vol. 4. Column 618).
This could be the result of a clash of sources. Another example of the name spelled קריסנפולר can be seen here.
I can't say for sure that it is out of reluctance to use a regular + symbol, but it seems likely. In one of the missionary journals I recall reading about a tumult that was caused by the footnote symbols used in a Hebrew Tanach which the missionaries were distributing, as was their custom. Often Jews were happy to receive such a free gift which ostensibly came without conditions. (The missionaries felt that there was value in the Jews having a Tanach unmediated with rabbinic interpretations, thus no Onkelos, Rashi, etc.) However, in this case the people were very disturbed that one of the symbols was a cross.
In any case, whether or not it can be argued that the name is similar or different, it seems a little odd (and, I might add, whether or not the name of the town technically means what it sounds like).
Leopold Zunz also knew it was odd, so he made mention of it in his 1837 book Namen der Juden. Namen der Juden was written to counter a Prussian decree banning Jews from using German names. So Zunz investigated the history of Jewish naming practices and showed that the Jews continuously adopted the names - including German ones - from the surrounding culture. (What do you think "Zalman" is?) Conversely, loads of "German" names were actually Jewish names, being derived from the Bible. It worked; the decree was modified to only forbid specifically Christian names. Thus Jews were allowed to continue to call themselves Heinrich, if they wanted to, but not Peter. On pg. 124-5 of his book, Zunz concludes with a passionate defense of a parent's right to name children as they see fit. He says that this is not a religious issue, as Christians can name their children highly religious Christian names if they want (such as Dodjeschu (דודישו), which he points out is a Syriac Christian name, or Christbold and the like). But is a Jew going to name their child Christlieb? Such names would be very, very unusual. So nothing to worry about, from a Christian perspective. "Christian" is a less distinctively Christian name (from a religious point of view) and it is rare among Jews. Here Zunz mentions 'the living "Rabbiner zu Brody,"' that is, R. Yechiel Michel Kristianpoller. Note though that he does not mention his name.
At the top of the spiritual hierarchy [in Brody] is the honorable rabbi Herr Michel Kristianpoller, a man of justice and truth. His noble virtues, dignified demeanor, his impeccable reputation for deep Talmudic erudition, make him a man loved by the people. His bright views on the issues of life, his sharp attention to the conditions of his environment, his openly expressed tolerance for people of different religious viewpoints, his gratitude to people, make him a man of the time. He was almost unanimously elected to his position [av beth din] after the death of his predecessor, the revered rabbi Herr Lazarus Landau.
I must criticize a little mistake in Dr. Zunz's work on the origin of Jewish names. The doctor studied the widely-held misimpression concerning the Germanization of Jewish names, even proving the remarkable fact that the rabbi of Brody uses the name "Christian." The Galician Jews are not so culturally advanced. The first name of the rabbi is Michel. The surname "Kristianpoller" is merely the town, Krystianpol, where the rabbi's family comes from.
In any case, R. Michel Kristianpoller's daughter Breindel married Nathan Kallir (1821-1866), a man who eventually would be knighted (and known as Nathan Ritter von Kallir) and became the first Jewish member of the Austrian parliament. She was renowned for being very very pious. Him, observant, but less pious. In fact, according to this memoir (dictated in 1929), Breindele Kristianpoller Kallir was known as a tzadekes and her grave was a site of pilgrimage and prayer. The story goes that she was concerned that her husband should put on his tallis and tefillin every day. But as a very busy man constantly traveling to Vienna, without deep piety, she felt that he needed coaxing. One time she packed his clothes, but he could not find his woolen underwear which he would need as it was winter. He wrote back to his wife asking her where she packed it. Her response: "Go pray to God and you'll have your prayer answered." He understood: he opened his not-so-used tallis bag and found the underwear inside.
On that note, in the Artscroll book Aleppo City of Scholars a story is told of how the lack of piety of an Alliance Israélite Universelle school teacher was exposed when a piece of meat was put into his tallis bag. When it began to rot and the smell spread all over the school it was proved that he did not put on tefillin.
סאקמיר, not סאטמיר. You can do a search for both terms (and other spellings) at hebrewbooks.org and see many examples, both ways.
It also bears pointing out that Jews generally referred to "St. Petersburg" as "Peterburg" in Yiddish. One hears of "R. Itzele Peterburger," not "R. Itzele St. Peterburger." However, not too much can be made of such things, as in most cases the Yiddish names of cities and towns did not exactly match the name in the local language, particularly if there was a long history of Jewish settlement.
Abraham J. Heschel's A Concise Dictionary of Hebrew Philosophical Terms (Cincinnati, 1941) was recently added to archive.org. This 86 page mimeographed booklet was apparently composed by himself and students at the Hebrew Union College. It's largely based on Klatzkin, but it is in English. It's quite interesting, and very probably still useful to people.
Tractate Reds; a Talmudic parody of Russian Communism from 1923.
Here's the first page of מסכת אדמונים מן תלמוד בולשבי. This parody Talmud was signed by Avshalom bar Daroma, which is a pen name of Abraham Solomon Melamed (who wrote another Talmud parody about twenty years earlier). It was published in Tel Aviv in 1923. The Massekhet is 24 dafim, encompassing 5 perakim. Naturally it would be humorous if it wasn't so horrifying; the parody is dedicated to a certain person who, we are told, was killed by the Communists in 1920. This individual requested that he be hung first so as not to witness the executions of his companions. On that same page is a quotation from Megillah 25a: אמר רב נחמן כל ליצנותא אסירא בר מליצנותא דעבודת כוכבים דשריא.
The 'Mishnah' begins 'All are Red. There is no difference between Red and White, apart for the name alone. Rabbi Yarkan says the Yerokin (Greens) are included. 'Rashi' says that the Gemara will explain who the Yerokim are. On 3a, for example, we see that 'the Whites call 'Zhid!' loudly, while the Reds say it quietly.' i.e., they are both antisemitic.
In the 'Gemara' (3b) Rabbi Yarkon 'darshens' Lev. 13:49 ('If the plague be greenish or reddish') to prove that in regards to plagues both Green and Red are the same. By 'Green' he means the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_armies, armed peasants.
If anyone is interested in the entire thing, you can read it here; it doesn't appear on Google Books.
And to those who asked, I am going to resume a full schedule of posting soon. Thanks.
Shadal series #3 - On the important role played by printing never-published old works.
In 1845 R. Eliezer Ashkenazi published a 16th century supercommentary to Rashi by R. Abraham Bacrat. His ספר הזכרון, written (or completed) in the year 1507 in Tunis, his place of exile from Spain, had never before been printed, although there were several manuscript copies and the work was not unknown in North Africa. In his introduction, Ashkenazi writes that he prints many never-before-printed works, and he beautifully states that he likes to make Ashkenazic works known in the Sefardic lands, and Sefardic works known in the Ashkenazic lands.
The book was printed in Livorno, as were many North African and Italian books of the time. It featured three different sets of haskamos, by Italian, Tunisian and Moroccan rabbis, for those three respective book markets. The approbations in the Italian version were written by R. Isaac Samuel Reggio (Yashar) of Gorizia, R. Mordecai Samuel Ghirondi of Padua, and Shadal. In his introduction, Ashkenazi singles out Yashar and Shadal for their publications of never-published material; Yashar having published the shorter Ibn Ezra commentary to Exodus, and Shadal having published the Divan of R. Yehuda Ha-levi.
You can see there was a mutual hotzi la-or appreciation society of sorts. Since printing was invented, it took some time for it to become widespread enough and cheap enough. The result being that many works in earlier centuries fell behind, having never been printed. These manuscripts lay all over the Jewish world, in private libraries, in genizot, in the hands of people who know what they were, in the hands of people who had no idea. So it was that in the 19th century there was an explosion of acquiring and printing these manuscripts for the first time, which has never abated.
Shadal's haskamah is very interesting because it contains his attitude toward uncovering and printing these old works. He believed they are like a gift from God, who is providentially ensuring that the present generation receives Torah instruction from the earlier generations.
He begins by praising God for the depth of his wisdom. God sees how topsy-turvy the present (=mid-19th century) is and he acts for the good of his creation, knowing that each generation needs its teachers and judges. To understand how God acts, think of a king who rules over a vast empire. When he sees that his subjects in the farthest reaches lack proper supervision, he sends them leaders and judges from other provinces. So it is that God saw that the generation is orphaned, with many following nothing and nonsense. Even the sages and wise men are ineffective as leaders. So what does God do? He sends them sages and leaders from another generation. He causes old books to be lifted out of the dust piles, in order that their voices can be heard in a later generation. It is as if he returns the soul to the dead, breathing new life into the hearts of those that are straying. He turns the heart of the fathers - already dead - to the children, in order to turn the heart of the children toward their fathers. This is just in time before it's too late and the generation all goes to waste. This is divine providence, good medicine for the present generation, which is a vain one, a generation which forgot Zion, and is pining for Emancipation (check out that font size). Then he refers to his own publication of R. Yehuda Ha-levi's poems which are full of love for Torah (and Zion, although he does not mention this). Those poems were a big hit, with people even translating them to the vernacular. Thus, good teachings from the past are spreading among the Jews, to counter the bad tendencies of the age.
He then praises the present work, R. Abraham Halevi Bakrat's Sefer Ha-zikaron, for his commentary on Rashi ("Rosh Shivtei Yisrael," - Ghirondi calls Rashi "Hamelech Shlomo Yitzchaki" in his haskamah),which was written in clear language, with straight reasoning, manifesting a love for the truth, pursuing the peshat, eschewing pilpul, showing his expertise in all areas of Hebrew grammar, as well as Aramaic, Arabic, and Mishnaic Hebrew. He also enumerates various other qualities of this commentary, such as explaining matters through textual criticism of the Targum, supplying an example or two for each one. Can you imagine? A haskmah which actually shows that the muskam read it, and even tells the reader were some of the good material is to be found! Finally, he closes by assuring everyone who purchases this book and reads it that they will not regret it! | 2019-04-25T20:01:31 | http://onthemainline.blogspot.com/2011/07/ |
Burn serious calories while winning cash in your NCAA office pool with the Men’s Health March Madness Bracket Challenge Workout!
Got your March Madness bracket filled out and a little cash on the line? Why not put up a little pride and muscle, too?
Team your NCAA basketball tournament bracket with a workout challenge to motivate you to do extra exercise, suggests Jim Cotta, CSCS, a former strength coach of the LA Lakers and author of Men’s Health Workout War.
Here’s how it works: Invite your friends, family or co-workers to join the challenge. Fill out your March Madness brackets.
Based on whether your chosen teams win or lose, you do the corresponding number of reps of a certain exercise.
Winners do fewer reps; Losers do more. Everybody gets in shape.
You’ll perform an exercise exercise for each game that is played that day throughout the tournament. So that’s a circuit of 16 exercises after both days 1 and 2, which are Round 1 games.
In round 2, you will circuit through the 8 exercises, and then repeat. So you’ll do 8 exercises, 2 times each.
Round 3: Do 4 exercises, 3 times each.
Round 4: Do 2 exercises 4 times each.
Round 5: Do 2 exercises, 5 times each.
Round 6 (Championship Game): 1 exercise, 6 times.
“If you don’t have a team in the championship game, sorry dude, it’s 6 sets of 20 Burpees,” says Cotta.
For any game in which you have neither seed playing, you do 20 Burpees.
Complete your workout the day after the games have been played, so you will have workouts to do on March 20, 21, 22, 23, 27, 28, 29, 30 and April 5 and 7.
And for great workout challenges and a plan to get in the best shape of your life, check out Cotta’s new book, Men’s Health Workout War. | 2019-04-21T08:45:50 | https://www.menshealth.com/fitness/a19535251/march-madness-fitness-challenge/ |
Humans of the distant past had far shorter lives than we do now and were constantly preoccupied with mere survival. With increasing freedom and technology in various parts of the world has come the successful efforts of men and women that have virtually eradicated many causes of death. Lifespans have increased considerably and, in addition, life in the industrialized world contains time for endeavors rarely, if ever, possible to most of our predecessors just 200 years ago.
Today we can explore the known universe using only our fingertips, our eyes and our ears. We have more information available to each of us via our electronic network (the Internet) than the largest city library. What we lack is the time to fulfill our thirst for existing knowledge, our drive to create new knowledge, technology or inventions, or just our delight of plain curiosity for reality. Our lives, even with average death ages of 74 and nearly 80 years respectively for all US men and women (81 and 85, for those who were already 65 years of age), are far too short for most of us to reach our intellectual potential or exhaust our capacity for joy.
MoreLife offers tools, as well as information, for the purpose of expanding the user's life both in quantity and quality. Merely increasing the length of life is not sufficient to the owner of that life. The ability to enjoy life at age 100 with the exuberance of youth - a greatly increased health span - is what we (the owners of MoreLife) think is necessary and what we think is possible.
Our short-term goal for MoreLife is that it be a repository and link center for science-based information in the general areas of life span and life quality expansion. We see it as an online "encyclopedia" of such information both onsite and elsewhere - all founded on, and with references to evidence-based, scientific reports. Conclusions from extrapolations of facts are clearly stated as such and substantiation is provided. No wild conjectures, no armchair theorizing without practical purpose, and no promises based on wishful thinking will be found on this website.
Our medium-term goal is to participate in and promote the discoveries of the life extension sciences by our review of the peer-reviewed literature on many topics, by commenting on our findings and those of others in public venues, and by bringing to light, for new or renewed scrutiny, ideas and connections which may have been ignored or missed by both "experts" and laymen.
Finally, our long-term goal is to see radically life extending methods thoroughly established and available so that we can concentrate on life quality expansion both for ourselves and for all of humanity, and delve deeply into the foundations of reality which is the only route which will fully enable such continued expansion.
To find ways to vastly extend life's duration while also significantly increasing life's quality, is what we at MoreLife seek.
Since we, the creators of MoreLife, wrote the above in March of 2001, there have been enormous changes in the scientific, regulatory and social structures of technologically advanced countries which are increasingly working against both the extension and the quality of the lives of enlightened forward-looking people. For this reason, we have become very concerned that if current social structures are not radically altered, the establishment and availability of life extending methods that we seek will not be achieved before our deaths. Therefore, our current evaluation of the best use of our time to achieve our own optimal total integrated life happiness has caused us to spend far less time on the short and medium term goals as described above, and to search for a way to more quickly attain a major portion of the long-term goal, also described there, of greatly increasing our freedom to do as we please with our own lives so long as we do not initiate physical force, threaten physical force or use fraud against others. Specifically, we think that nothing short of a revolutionary change in the social structure of the technologically advanced world is necessary and we think that we have found a way in which this might peaceably be brought about. For current details see the Self-Sovereign Individual Project.
Since men and women are nothing without being alive and healthy, the primary focus of each individual must be upon the promotion of his own individual health and well-being. This includes both physical health and a pro-life mental outlook. However, in addition to being concerned directly with themselves, people must consider also that they do not live as "islands". The interpersonal relationships that they maintain including their social interactions with all others must be responsible and cooperative based on the individual evaluations of each participant, if they are to optimize their chances of attaining enhanced life span and quality.
Since time is the factor most limiting to an increase in the total amount of happiness enjoyed by an individual, increasing human lifespan is essential to the attainment of significantly more life. Logically, this can be accomplished in only three ways - reaching one's current potential by preventing all manner of terminal diseases, increasing the potential maximum lifespan for oneself by reducing one's rate of aging, and preserving ones life by placing oneself into suspended animation, if animate life cannot currently continue, so that it may yet continue in the future. This last has the added advantage that additional life extending advances may be actualized while one is in suspended animation. In essence, this last is an ambulance ride to the vast technological advances of the future.
So long as they do not initiate force or fraud on others, all possible methods to attain a higher quality of life and a longer lifespan are acceptable and should be considered for use based on a cost/benefit evaluation.
For increasing health and life expectancy, we consider that the best methods in order of priority are the Use of Food, Optimal Exercise, Adequate and Effective Sleep, Achieving Psychological Fulfillment, Supplementing Nutrition (including hormone replacement as necessary) and Seeking Outside Medical Assistance. In the near future, it will also be possible to make use of various kinds of Body/Mind Augmentation, whether this be genetic therapy, cloned body parts, computer aids for the brain and senses, or even, potentially, migration of the entire body into a non-biological substrate.
We - Paul Wakfer (Tom Matthews) and Kitty Antonik, the authors of this website - believe in practicing what we preach. Therefore, we have included a Personal Section containing information about ourselves including our backgrounds, our dietary, physical and supplement regimens, and some current activities of our lives.
The above is a functional description of the organization of the MoreLife website, and all information to be eventually included here will be accessible through those organization subtopics. However, some users may wish to go directly to a particular kind of information (the full site FAQ, for example). Therefore, the information has also been organized to be accessible by the indexes below.
Finally, there is a global search function for the website.
A summary of our recommendations for expanding life in quality and quantity is given at Achieving More Life - in a nutshell.
has been created to provide an opportunity for readers of the MoreLife website to ask questions, to critique, to comment, and to engage in discussions about the information presented on this website - or not presented here, but seemingly included within its described scope. The group is moderated by us - Paul Wakfer and Kitty Antonik Wakfer - and as such allows its use as a "seminar" whether on life-extension matters covered at MoreLife or the subjects of the Self-Sovereign Individual Project. A seminar is effectively a meeting and series of presentations by peers, each knowing that they are at different levels and amounts of understanding of the subject matter at hand. Usually there are one or more leaders or guides who are more knowledgeable in some ways, but the others also have unique contributions and the leaders also learn from them. We encourage readers of MoreLife Yahoo to approach the subjects discussed there in such a manner. We welcome our website readers to read and contribute to the large amount of information and commentary which is contained there.
The following features, individual to each user, are planned for the future. All individual information will be encrypted to ensure full privacy. The information will be used to provide services for users and to perform research concerning the effect of various regimens upon health. Because we need to make a living from our efforts, at some point access to some features, and use of some of the tools of this website will require payment.
When the features below are implemented will depend on the level of use and support which MoreLife receives.
Client Information Center - Those wishing to use the payment requiring features must register and provide personal profile information mostly relating to health and nutrition.
Dietary Regimen Data Base - An interactive data base where each client can place all of his diet, nutrient and supplement information. All major nutrients will be totaled and an automated analysis will be presented with suggested changes which may make the diet more healthful.
Health Information Data Base - Enables clients to participate in an ongoing epidemiological study of health and longevity versus total nutrition (diet and supplement), exercise and other lifestyle factors.
Automated Supplement Supply - Provides a service to automate and optimize supplement ordering and delivery for each client, who elects it, according to the supplement information in his Dietary Regimen Data Base.
MoreLife is under construction now and, to some extent, will never be complete. Life expansion is an unbounded subject and we will always be adding to and/or modifying the material here.
Just as the figure in our logo is reaching with arms outstretched for "more", we hope that you will return frequently for more information - more assistance in achieving more life in general.

Montessori isn’t so much a “what” as it is a “who” question. Dr. Maria Montessori (1870-1952) was Italy’s first female physician. She developed her method of education based on clinical observations on how children learn. She discovered the children’s effortless ability to absorb knowledge from their surroundings, a tireless interest in manipulating materials, and an inborn desire to learn and do meaningful work. In 1907, she founded a school using child-centered methods and equipment based on her observations. Montessori’s work continues today in public and private schools throughout the world.
In the 3-to-6-year old classes there is a family-like atmosphere, with the older children serving as role-models for the younger children. In this multi-age setting, the children learn from each other and because of each other. The Montessori-trained teachers ensure that experiences occur naturally and joyfully at the proper moment for each child.
the delighted cry, “I did it myself”!
Dr. Montessori thought of childhood as “the sensitive period of the soul,” the time when the child is especially open to a deep and joyful relationship with God. At Salem Montessori School, we use the Children and Worship curriculum to nurture the spiritual development of each child. Using multi-sensory materials, Biblical stories are presented by the teacher, then offered to the children to explore on their own and relate to their personal experience.

Based on a Nestl review, Americans drink typically 23 gallons of bottled water each year (Italians are the winners at 50 gallons, and then the French, at 38 gallons). Beverage Digest, a business publication which tracks U. S. beverage business, finds slightly diverse numbers21 gallons in 2006 Www.meseltzer.com. Irrespective, 20 years back, pundits scoffed that Americans, who got perfectly great municipal water, wouldn’t be likely spend on something they could obtain using their taps for free. However in 2006, Americans drank $11 billion worth of bottled watermore water as compared to milk, as per Beverage Digest. And also, Us citizens drank nearly just as much bottled water as beer. If the progress pattern carries on, Americans may just be consuming more bottled water than tap water within just a few years.
Mineral Water – Bottled water containing no less than 250 parts per million total dissolved solids could be defined as mineral water. Mineral water can be distinguished from other types of water in bottles by its constant level and relative amounts of mineral and also trace elements at the point of emergence from the origin. Absolutely no minerals can be added to this product.
Sparkling Bottled Water – Water which following treatment, and probable substitution with carbon dioxide, provides the same level of carbon dioxide it previously had the way it emerged from the source. Sparkling bottled waters could be labeled as “sparkling drinking water, ” “sparkling mineral water, ” “sparkling spring water, ” and so on.
As you’re able observe, the actual differences differ widely. The typical buyer may possibly be familiar with Perrier, which is a sparkling water, Arrowhead or Poland Springs, that are well-known spring waters, or the Coke as well as Pepsi brand names involving exceptionally pure tap water.
The second issue could be to qualify the actual debate of what the term best indicates. That term could imply various things to different people.
For some people best might be found in a really delightful taste. Others could possibly be consuming water in bottles to obtain certain health rewards not found in untreated tap water. Many people in the U. S. today are consuming bottled water because of a growing fear of the pollutants in regular city water.
To be totally fair and impartial one should allow each individual to ascertain what they suggest while referring to their favorite bottled water. However for the actual purposes of this debate and my own particular clientele I want to concentrate on the issue of health.
Increasingly there are actually growing concerns about the leaching of pthalates, recognized endocrine disrupters, along with antimony coming from water in plastic bottles. Various other concerns involve bacteria. The Natural Resources Defense Council put together an extensive listing of test results from bottled water these people gathered and sampled.
Other health concerns that pertain to bottled water include the actual physical qualities of the drinking water, which includes pH (acidity) and the existence or even absence of vitamins and minerals. | 2019-04-25T12:59:45 | http://weebceo.com/uncategorized/just-what-is-the-best-bottle-drinking-water-perhaps-this-will-show-you-how-hard-it-is-to-call-a-best/ |
