The introduction of new rules giving workers on enterprise agreements the right to pick their own superannuation fund has been delayed after crossbench senators sought revenge for a rule change they said was designed to silence criticism.
The government and Labor on Thursday introduced new restrictions on the number of motions allowed to be debated in the Senate each parliamentary sitting week, evoking a strong reaction from the crossbench.
Greens senator Larissa Waters said the change was designed to stop “motions that might be politically embarrassing or inconvenient”.
The leader of the government in the Senate, Mathias Cormann, said it was to ensure the Senate “could get the business of the nation done”.
“This formal motion space was there for a particular purpose, it has been used and abused, and it was needing reform,” he said.
Labor’s Senate leader, Penny Wong, said that too often the crossbench moved controversial motions that were little more than “wedge politics”.
Under the rule change, the number of motions in the Senate each day will now be limited to 12; four for the government, four for the opposition and four for the crossbench. The change has the practical effect of limiting crossbench senators to one motion each per week.
A senior Green told The Australian Financial Review the move could sour the good working relationship developed in recent months between Greens leader Adam Bandt and Labor leader Anthony Albanese.
Senator Pauline Hanson said she agreed that there were too many motions but the government was taking a "sledgehammer approach" to the problem. Senator Jacqui Lambie said Senator Cormann would now "pay the price".
In a rare showing of unity, senators from each of the minor parties held a press conference slamming the change and vowed to cause chaos in protest.
Despite saying they would not block legislation, several bills failed to pass the Senate before it stopped sitting.
Among the delays were new rules due to begin on July 1 giving workers on enterprise agreements the right to pick their owner superannuation fund.
The start date will now be delayed because Parliament is not sitting until August.
The Your Superannuation, Your Choice bill proposes to prohibit future enterprise agreement clauses, commonly negotiated by unions and employers, forcing workers to use a specific super fund even if they already have an existing fund.
Super Consumers Australia director Xavier O'Halloran said expanding the super fund choice was overdue and the Senate should pass the measure.
"The rules are a key contributor to multiple accounts and inappropriate insurance leading to people paying more fees than they should,” he said.
The government estimates that more than 800,000 super fund members on enterprise agreements had no choice or restricted choice on their super fund.
The workplace tribunal last year threw out Kmart's union deal, ruling it left workers worse off than the industry minimum, in part because it locked staff into using the union's industry superannuation fund, REST.
The Fair Work decision was the first to find that mandated super fund clauses, which forced employees to use REST even if they already had a fund or wanted to switch, were detrimental when considering whether to approve enterprise agreements.
REST had the most inactive accounts of any industry fund, almost half a million in 2018 or a quarter of its 2 million accounts.

It was a rainy morning in February but Bernini’s famous Fountain of the Four Rivers glinted in its clean marble glory. Finally it’s out from under restoration, where it’s been for two years. Aside from the apparent cleaning, restorers have installed water filters to reduce calcium deposits, and a shock system to deter pigeons! The cleaner fountain gives us an opportunity to take a closer look at the history and visual aspects of the fountain.
Location and History
The large ovoid Piazza Navona sits on the footprint of the first century CE Stadium of Domitian. Pope Innocent X rebuilt the space in the mid seventeenth century to feature the Pamphilij family residence, the main church, S. Agnese in Agone by Borromini, and the three Bernini Fountains. All three are great examples of the Baroque style in art.
Bernini was a “Renaissance man” in Baroque times, capable of working in all media and revolutionizing every genre he touched, including fountains. The story goes that Pope Innocent X held a competition to build a fountain here. The main rule was that you had to use this obelisk, a Roman copy of an original Egyptian one; it was lying in the nearby Circus Maximus and the Pope wanted to reuse it in his piazza. Bernini was not invited to participate in the competition (at that moment he was a bit out of favour), so he made a model and had a friend sneak it into a room where the Pope was likely to see it. Indeed the Pope liked it and hired him, despite the extravagance of the project, and that it cost way more than the others.
The fountain is composed of a big rustic rock in the middle, topped by a granite obelisk. Its name “The Four Rivers”, comes from the four large male allegorical figures on the corners, who are river gods: Nile, Gange, Danube, Rio de la Plata. The idea is that these rivers represent the four corners of the known world at the time:
- DANUBE (europe): is closest to the papal palace, his hand reaches up to touch the coat of arms
- RIO della Plata (America): represented by an African, with coins on ledge (=riches)
- GANGES (Asia): just an old guy in a reclining position
- NILE (Africa). Has his head covered because they did not know where the source, or “head” of the river was!
Each of these figures is photographed and labelled below so you can identify them when you go in person. On the rock near each figure are various plants and animals associated with that region. At the top of the obelisk is a dove with a palm branch in his beak, made in bronze. This was one of the Pamphilij family’s symbols (it’s on the coat of arms photographed below), but in this context was also considered a reference to Noah and the Flood (in Genesis 8:11, Noah, who has been in the ark for over 40 days, sends out a dove to see if the waters had receeded, and the dove comes back with an olive or palm branch).
On a first level, The reuse the Obelisk signifies Rome’s conquer of Egypt. Contemporaries read the egyptian markings on the Obelisk as symbols of the sun’s rays, and by extension, the triumph of Christianity. The Four rivers represent the Pope’s expression of the supposed universal influence of the Catholic Church. (In fact, Africa/Rio looks up at the obelisk and shades his eyes as if experiencing a miraculous conversion.) The Dove at the top is a symbol of both of Pope and of the Holy Spirit, acting as an effective reference to the Church.
Baroque art is characterized primarily by theatricality and technical virtuosity. The theatrical part is not hard to see – check out the poses of the figures! These are not natural positions, but frozen movement. To prove this, just try to hold one of those positions yourself for a few minutes. As for technical virtuosity, Bernini deals with an amazing and totally unnecessary engineering challenge by putting a heavy granite obelisk over an empty space – the arch disguised by the form of the rock in the center of the composition. Furthermore, he works in multimedia, seamlessly combining granite, rough stone (which is really marble), polished marble, bronze, and water. The harmonious whole makes it look like it was easy.

A father who beat his infant daughter -- and whose son's death remains under police scrutiny -- was sentenced to five years in prison yesterday by a judge who said the severity of the beating warranted more time than state guidelines recommend.
"I am not a bad person, and I love my family," John Lee Plotner, 34, formerly of Glen Burnie, cried bitterly to Anne Arundel County Circuit Judge Clayton R. Greene Jr.
He said he beat his fussing 5-month-old daughter June 5 because he had lost his job and was under stress.
"I just want to say that I am not a monster," Plotner told the judge.
"You say you are not a monster, Mr. Plotner, but you have done a monstrous thing," Greene said.
He sentenced Plotner to the maximum prison term for child abuse, 15 years, then suspended all but five years and added five years' probation. He also ruled that Plotner could have no unsupervised contact with children, including his daughter.
The sentence put a smile on the face of Assistant State's Attorney Laura Kiessling, who sought a long prison sentence. Defense attorney Charles L. Waechter, who asked for 18 months or less of incarceration, said he probably will ask the judge to reduce the sentence after his client has served part of it.
The other baby, a boy, died when he was a few weeks old. The defendant told investigators the death was blamed on Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, but his wife said it was septicemia, a deadly blood disease. A police investigation into that death is not finished, Kiessling said.
Plotner pleaded guilty in February to child abuse. Last June, when he brought his daughter to her baby-sitter, he said the child had fallen. But when the baby-sitter and her husband, a county police officer, saw swelling and bruising bloom, they called detectives. Plotner returned to the house while police were there. He gave them several versions of how his daughter, Kyra, fell.
The child is with her mother in Wisconsin and has recovered from her injuries.
"This family would like to reunite," Waechter told the judge, as he asked for a short sentence. He said Plotner's wife supports him fully and that Plotner, who has had some counseling in Virginia and Wisconsin, would get additional counseling if allowed to return home.
Kiessling countered that having Plotner live unsupervised with the victim was "scary," and that the baby previously had suffered a burned lip. Social services officials in Anne Arundel closed their case because the child moved; Wisconsin social service agencies have no reason to supervise the family unless they suspect new abuse.
"Obviously, nobody is looking out for this child," Kiessling told the judge."She has no one to protect her except you."

Wales shop vacancy rate hasn’t yet been hit by the Covid pandemic but a reail group warned this would change without public support.
The Welsh shop vacancy rate across all shopping locations was 15.9% in Q2 2020, the same rate as seen in Q1.
The vacancy rate was 16.8% for High Streets (16.8% in Q1); 17.0% for Shopping Centres (17.0% in Q1); and 6.9% for Retail Parks (6.7% in Q1).
These are among the highest in the UK.
Sarah Jones, head of the Welsh Retail Consortium, said: “The inevitable disruption brought about by the pandemic has yet to translate through into these figures, unsurprising given most shops have been shuttered for much of the past quarter and were permitted to re-open only in the last few weeks.
“That said, even prior to the pandemic and the tumult of the past few months, Wales has the highest vacancy rate in Great Britain with one in every seven stores remaining vacant – a stark reminder of the uphill battle we continue to face.
“Wales’ shops and retail destinations will only survive with the support of Welsh consumers.
“The extent to which retail remains the cornerstone of our high streets, and can continue to be the nation’s largest private sector employer, will be hugely influenced by the decisions made by parliaments and governments.
“Government support for retail during the current crisis has been, overall, significant and rapid. But with retailers’ revenues falling short, more support is likely to be required.
“With the Welsh Government u-turning on its previous commitment to provide a year-long full business rates relief to retailers of all sizes there is an urgent need to address this broken system, as well as supporting those businesses that face a ‘reverse cliff edge’ next spring when 100% rates are scheduled to be re-instated.”
Lucy Stainton, head of Retail and Strategic Partnerships at The Local Data Company “Since 2018, retail vacancy has risen steadily across GB, in part due to the widely discussed oversupply of retail property given changing consumer demands.
“Q2 vacancy results reveal the most significant quarterly increase since our records began in 2012.
“Despite seeing this initial jump, it is still too soon to measure the full impact of the pandemic as almost half of the non-essential retail units that were eligible to reopen following the 15th of June were still temporarily closed as of the 1st July.
"Over the coming months, we are forecasting a spike in vacancy as the real fallout of the pandemic is felt. In the first three weeks of Q3 we have already measured a 0.2% increase, so we can see this will be a sustained trend.” | <urn:uuid:38a383af-70e4-4759-90c4-0ae4e5fdb9e0> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.business-live.co.uk/retail-consumer/wales-shops-retail-destinations-only-18700123 | 2020-09-21T19:44:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400202007.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20200921175057-20200921205057-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.968191 | 597 |
When we visited Kuala Lumpur a couple of weeks ago, we stayed at Lanson Place together with Small Luxury Hotels. Lanson Place is Serviced Residences in Bukit Ceylon that offers stylish and modern apartments in the heart of the city. I absolutely loved the idea to have our own luxury apartment with both living room and a fully equipped kitchen, and having breakfast with a magical view of the city every morning was definitely a highlight.
We had a great 3-night stay at Lanson Place KL, and down below you can read more about my experience in my Lanson Place review!
Room Standard (1 Bedroom Residensi)
We stayed in one of their 1 bedroom apartments, and it was perfect for us. It was very spacious with both a living room, kitchen, bedroom and big bathroom. We had everything we needed during our stay and we both felt really comfortable staying there. They cleaned it every day and there was lots of space for both clothes in the closet and toiletries in the bathroom.
One of the best things about this apartment was definitely the view. We had a panoramic view of the city where we could see the small rainforest and also the famous KL Tower. We even saw a couple of paragliders jumping down from the tower early in the morning circling around the tower – which was pretty cool.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot about the best part. We even had a washer and a dryer in the apartment, so we could wash our own clothes. Definitely one of the best features haha!
This is what you get when booking 1 Bedroom Residensi
Comfortable bed with fluffy pillows and soft sheets
Big bathroom with both shower and tub
- Free toiletries
Livingroom area with big couch, flatscreen TV, and sound system
- Fully equipped kitchen
Washer & dryer
- Amazing view of Kuala Lumpur
We had breakfast on the 48th floor in their 163 lounge every morning. The breakfast was good, but it didn’t have that little extra, to be honest. There was bread, spreads, cereals with milk or yogurt, fresh fruits, cold cuts, salad and coffee/tea. I’m quite picky when it comes to breakfast, but I actually liked this one – it was simple but good. I liked that they had many healthy options such as nuts, darker bread, salad and so on. And the view from up there is absolutely breathtaking.
Outside the apartment
Outside your apartment, you’ll find a gym, a pool, an outdoor barbeque area, and a children’s playground. In the lounge on the 48th floor, you can walk up another stair and up there you’ll find computers (free to use) and also a pool table that Alex and I used a couple of times during our stay. From up there you can also go outside to the rooftop terrace and admire the magical view.
The staff was very helpful and friendly during our stay. They cleaned our apartment every day, served us coffee up at breakfast and always said hello to us when passing by.
The WiFi worked great in our apartment and also in the 163 lounge on the 48th floor. We also tried the WiFi down by the reception, and it worked like a charm!
Lanson Place Shuttle
One thing that I really like about this place was that they offered a shuttle. The shuttle mainly drives the guests to and from the Pavilion Shopping Mall, but you can also be picked-up or dropped-off at other nearby places if you ask in advance. It’s free of charge and runs from morning to around 5 pm.
Lanson Place is located in the heart of the city; close to nature, shopping and restaurants. Since it’s very cheap to grab an Uber or Grab, and the fact that they have a free shuttle, there will not be a problem to get around in the city.
Summary of stay at Lanson Place Kuala Lumpur
We had a great stay at Lanson Place in Kuala Lumpur. Our apartment was lovely, the breakfast was good and the service was great as well. I loved that they had a shuttle to the nearby areas and that you get the luxury from a hotel and the comfortabilities from an apartment in one place. Not forget to mention the view from our apartment that was magical!
Can I recommend you to stay at Lanson Place when you’re in Kuala Lumpur? Yes, I can definitely do! The hotel offers comfortable and luxurious apartments with amazing views – and the price is good as well!
In other words; a price-worthy luxury hotel in Kuala Lumpur. Thumbs up!

Residents in Mackay, Queensland, and Mildura, Victoria, will have one fewer news service dedicated to their regions, after WIN management suddenly told journalists at both TV newsrooms yesterday the bureaux would be shut down.
Mildura’s last bulletin will be tonight — staff were informed of the impending axing of the bureau last night. Staff in Mackay, however, weren’t even given a chance to say goodbye on air — they were informed of the closure following last night’s bulletin, which they were told had been their last. Many were unhappy they weren’t even allowed to see out the week.
In Mackay, sources say the closure wasn’t entirely unexpected; while the announcement was made very suddenly, the program has been struggling in the ratings for some time. Seven also operates a bureau in Mackay, a major regional agricultural and mining centre in north Queensland. Mackay, the sugar capital of Australia, is an important news area — it’s the nearest major city to Abbot Point coal terminal, where a controversial proposed expansion is feared to potentially deposit soil into wetlands near the Great Barrier Reef.
Journalists at Mildura, however, were far more shocked by the closure. Mildura sits inland, around halfway between Melbourne and Adelaide, and a WIN newsroom journalist said the loss of the local bulletin was “devastating” for the local community. WIN produces the only daily local bulletin in Mildura.
Adelaide and Melbourne TV news isn’t relevant to people in Mildura, so the local news was very closely watched, a journalist in the region said. “What pisses me off is that the news still rates quite highly.”
However, Crikey has been told that both the Mildura news operation wasn’t making as much money as it had in the past. It’s understood most of WIN’s regional news operations are profitable, and broader cuts are not expected. WIN News has shut down a number of specific bureaus in recent years over profitability concerns.
WIN is millionaire Bruce Gordon’s privately owned regional news company. In a statement, the company said it was “committed to its staff” despite closing the bureaux. The company cited “commercial viability factors” behind the closures. CEO Andrew Lancaster said WIN was the “most prolific” producer of local news bulletins, and remained committed to local news “across the majority of our markets”. “But, in a media environment that has its challenges and is faced with constantly increasing program supply and infrastructure costs as well as a lack of regulatory reform, we need to continue to review our operating model to ensure the ongoing success of WIN as a business.”
“Our first priority will be working with the staff impacted by the closures to redeploy them into other roles across the network.” | <urn:uuid:d61c90ab-6227-4f20-bdc9-c1976588a527> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.crikey.com.au/2015/05/22/no-more-local-win-bulletins-in-mackay-and-mildura-as-staff-told-to-say-goodbye/ | 2020-09-21T20:08:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400202007.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20200921175057-20200921205057-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.973913 | 602 |
Waves of local colleges and universities joined UCLA, USC and other Southern California schools this week in moving to online classes to slow the spread of the new coronavirus.
The switch includes canceling in-person classes on campuses, at least until the end of March and in some cases well into April. Though Los Angeles County health officials haven’t recommended such moves, experts said Wednesday that it makes sense amid the swift-moving international outbreak.
Making these moves — and, in some cases, more:
- The list in Los Angeles County includes Pepperdine, Cal State Long Beach, Cal State Dominguez Hills, Loyola Marymount, Cal State Northridge and Long Beach City College.
- In Orange County, UC Irvine, Cal State Fullerton and Chapman College have signed on.
- In the Inland area, UC Riverside, the Claremont Colleges, Western University of Health Sciences and La Sierra University are switching over.
Joining the movement en masse Wednesday were schools in the LA Community College District, which announced it would “move as many classes as possible into an online education platform for all nine colleges,” including LA City College, East LA College, LA Harbor College, LA Mission College, LA Pierce College, LA Southwest College, LA Trade-Tech, LA Valley College and West LA College.
Online instruction begins Wednesday, March 18, and last until April 13, according to Chancellor Francisco C. Rodriguez, Ph.D. Though in-person classes won’t be taught, the campuses will remain open for other business, he said in a media release.
“The decision to move to alternative instruction was not made lightly,” wrote Thomas A. Parham, president of CSU Dominguez Hills. “The goal of these changes is to minimize the need to gather in large groups or spend prolonged time in close proximity in spaces such as classrooms, dining halls, and residential buildings.”
On Wednesday, the question became not which colleges and universities would cancel in-person classes and events — but, rather, which would stay open.
El Camino College spokesman Mark Stevens said the Torrance school was monitoring the situation and planning for the possibility of canceling in-person classes but had not yet taken action by Wednesday evening.
The various moves by schools announced this week came as health officials in Los Angeles County have stopped short of recommending canceling events.
On Wednesday, the county reported its first death linked to COVID-19, and confirmed cases of the virus climbed to 29. Director of Public Health Barbara Ferrer said people with underlying health conditions, the elderly and pregnant women should consider limiting exposure.
Dr. Eric Milefchik, an infectious disease specialist at Torrance Memorial Medical Center, said taking such precautions was advisable because the virus has the capability to spread quickly — and much about how it behaves is still unknown.
“We know that we have community spread in LA County so that’s really increasing our vigilance,” Milefchik said.
For the average person, Milefchik said symptoms would be mild, but anyone feeling sick should stay home — especially students. They are younger, certainly, but many students travel internationally, he said. They could unknowingly infect their peers, who could, in turn, infect others who are more vulnerable.
“Faculty have been preparing for some time for this possible outcome,” said Pepperdine President Jim Gash, “and, having learned from our efforts during the Woolsey Fire, they will provide highly effective instruction via this remote alternative instruction format,” Gash said.
Pepperdine students were told to vacate on-campus housing by 3 p.m. Sunday, though students can apply for exemptions. The university is also canceling or postponing non-essential Pepperdine events with an expected attendance of 100 or more through the end of March.
Loyola Marymount President Timothy Law Snyder said the school has restricted all university-related international travel for students, faculty and staff through April 12.
Meanwhile, many other schools have postponed or curtailed overseas studies programs.
UCLA suspended all in-person classes “wherever possible” beginning Wednesday and continuing through April 10. USC began three days of online classes to test its “technical capabilities” to hold remote courses on a more extended basis.
In an email sent to USC students Tuesday night, the university indicated that classes will also be conducted online the week of March 22, after Spring Break.
USC and UCLA officials stressed there are no confirmed cases of the coronavirus, or COVID-19, at either campus.
Also, UCLA Chancellor Gene Block and UCLA Athletics also announced that attendance at all university athletic home games will be restricted to “essential personnel only,” including athletes, coaches, trainers, medical personnel, game officials, administrative staff and credentialed media.
That means no spectators will be admitted. Fans who have pre-purchased tickets were urged to contact the Central Ticket Office.
The NCAA basketball tournament announced Wednesday it would be holding games without spectators for the tournament event that dominates the month of March. | <urn:uuid:55516864-9930-4062-992b-f69195b19639> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.dailybreeze.com/2020/03/11/amid-coronavirus-fears-universities-shut-in-person-classes-switch-on-more-online-learning/ | 2020-09-21T20:10:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400202007.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20200921175057-20200921205057-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.960276 | 1,066 |
New iPhone Developer Agreement Bans the Use of Adobe’s Flash-to-iPhone Compiler
Thursday, 8 April 2010
Prior to today’s release of the iPhone OS 4 SDK, section 3.3.1 of the iPhone Developer Program License Agreement read, in its entirety:
3.3.1 — Applications may only use Documented APIs in the manner prescribed by Apple and must not use or call any private APIs.
In the new version of the iPhone Developer Program License Agreement released by Apple today (and which developers must agree to before downloading the 4.0 SDK beta), section 3.3.1 now reads:
My reading of this new language is that cross-compilers, such as the Flash-to-iPhone compiler in Adobe’s upcoming Flash Professional CS5 release, are prohibited. This also bans apps compiled using MonoTouch and Unity3D — tools that compiles C# and .NET apps to the iPhone. It’s unclear what this means for tools like Titanium and PhoneGap, but it sounds to me like they’re on the wrong side of this new rule, and the folks behind Appcelerator already realize they might be out of bounds.
There was no mention of this change during the announcement event today, but the language in the agreement doesn’t leave much wiggle room. It could hardly be more clear if they singled out Flash CS5 by name. (Wonder what Adobe does now? CS5 is thiscloseto release and the iPhone compiler is the flagship feature in this version of Flash. They’re pretty much royally fucked.)
I’m not sure how exactly Apple intends to enforce this, but my understanding is that iPhone apps produced by Flash CS5 are easily identifiable as such by inspecting the contents of the app bundle. I’m not sure if there are any “intermediary translation or compatibility layers or tools” which produce app bundles that are indistinguishable from app bundles produced by Xcode and the official SDK. | <urn:uuid:96978f37-d137-4a4f-80fa-e9fc8653cb6e> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.digitalbooks.blog/ploxaya-novost-apple-kazhetsya-obyavila-vojnu-adobe/ | 2020-09-21T19:03:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400202007.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20200921175057-20200921205057-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.912807 | 415 |
Council changes Gonzalez's improvement plan
The City Council might have violated the Texas Open Meetings Act on Tuesday by not taking a vote in open session to transition the city manager out of a performance improvement plan previously approved by the council.
“We’ve transitioned to goals and expectations,” Mayor Oscar Leeser said Tuesday after a four-hour closed session meeting meant to discuss a "personnel matter" with the city manager. Leeser said the meeting was a continuation of a March 1 special meeting where the performance plan was being established.
“It’s goals and expectations; that’s what we have transitioned to at this point,” Leeser said. He later added that there was no action taken and therefore he believed that the Open Meetings Act was not violated.
The City Council on Feb. 29 unanimously voted to place the city manager on a personal improvement plan after the results of an ethics investigation conducted by Austin attorney Ross Fischer were released.
But on Tuesday, Leeser said that the council discussed new “goals and expectations” for Gonzalez and the city released a statement outlining those goals without mention of an improvement plan.
“Today we talked about the personnel matter, and we were talking about goals and expectations and I thought it went extremely well,” said Gonzalez, who had not spoken to the media since the mayor called for the investigation late last year.
No vote was taken in open session to do away with the improvement plan, which human resource experts have said serves as a warning to employees that they could be fired if defined issues are not resolved by a set time.
City Attorney Sylvia Borunda Firth said the council did not take any action Tuesday that would require a vote.
"The posted item was for personnel matters which allowed them to deliberate the appointment, employment, evaluation, reassignment, duties, discipline, or dismissal of the subject employee," Borunda Firth said via text.
According to the Texas Open Meetings Act, governments are required to vote or take final action in open session. It states that "a final action, decision, or vote on a matter deliberated in closed meeting under this chapter may only be made in an open meeting that is held in compliance with the notice provisions of this chapter. A personnel matter can be discussed in closed session, but final action requires a vote in public session."
Some city representatives took issue with the mayor's statements, while others who were not in attendance said they were concerned that their February vote to place Gonzalez on an improvement plan was not being honored.
"The public statement issued by the mayor and city manager is not reflective of the entire council, as the statement portrays," said city Rep. Claudia Ordaz. "Today's statement is a clear misrepresentation of what transpired."
City Reps. Cortney Niland and Lily Limón were not at the special meeting, and former city Rep. Larry Romero’s seat has remained empty since he resigned due to health issues.
Limón, who was attending the annual conference of the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials in Washington, D.C., said she read the city's news release that listed the "goals and expectations," but wasn't sure if they corresponded with the points outlined in the improvement plan.
"I am flabbergasted and disappointed," Limón said. "I am very, very concerned about that."
She also said in reading the statement that she understood it as an action item.
"To me, if it's going to change from a PIP to goals and expectations, it needs to come to a vote," Limón said.
She also said not keeping the PIP goes against the previous action of the council, calling the news release a "glorification of accomplishments that does not address the issues we as the council have put together in the PIP."
Niland, who was out sick Tuesday, called the PIP "absolutely necessary."
"To abandon it at the last minute at will is absurd. It appears what was done today was sweep that (PIP) under the rug," she said.
City Reps. Dr. Michiel Noe, Peter Svarzbein and Carl Robinson could not be reached for comment.
One of the new goals is to focus on maintaining a positive relationship with the community and re-emphasized the importance of media in assisting with public awareness on city issues. Organizational management was also listed as one of the goals. It stated the area needed to focus on restructuring, succession planning and organizational needs.
The list of goals was accompanied by a list of accomplishments Gonzalez provided.
The list included several highlights, such as improved economic development, including job growth and business development.
He also listed the advancement of capital improvement projects, such as the purchasing of land for the children’s museum and the completion of a study for the Mexican American Cultural Center and the additional $10 million identified for the project.
Gonzalez said he has not been discussing ending his contract with the city.
Gonzalez took over as city manager in June 2014 at a salary of about $239,000. After his first year on the job, the City Council approved a controversial 25 percent raise in August, bringing Gonzalez's base pay to $300,000.
“My wife and kids have made El Paso their home,” Gonzalez said. “It’s our home now and we talked today about goals and expectations and the plan for El Paso and how to make a lot of the ideas and a lot of the visions that the council has come to fruition.”
According to the city manager’s contract, the amount of severance pay would depend on whether his contract was terminated with “good cause” by the city or whether he resigned. The amount could be up to one-year’s salary, according to the contract.
His initial five-year contract ran through June 2019. An amendment to the contract made in October 2014 states the contract is up for an automatic renewal for another year and would continue to renew automatically on a year-to-year basis unless council chooses otherwise.
Fischer’s report looked into an effort requested by Romero and Gonzalez to rebid the city's lucrative financial adviser contract; a costly delay in a 2013 bond issuance requested by former City Manager Joyce Wilson; and how the city responded to a series of open records requests from the El Paso Times. Romero has since resigned.
The investigation's report found that while Gonzalez was within his authority to initiate the request for qualifications for a new financial advising firm, he might have violated city purchasing policy by asking for a three-week bid window for companies interested in the financial adviser contract. The report said that the city manager otherwise complied with purchasing rules.
The City Council's decision to place Gonzalez on a performance improvement plan was accompanied by a 13-part directive to address issues raised by the investigation results. One of the directives was to amend city purchasing policy to have the city attorney review, at the outset, any bid process that would involve the early termination of an existing contract.
“I’ve cooperated with everything,” Gonzalez said.
Leeser said establishing the goals and expectations with the city manager represent the extent of the personnel matter.
“As a council we have set our goals to be able to come to a conclusion and we hope this will be the conclusion of this,” Leeser said.
The city’s Ethics Commission, however, is still investigating Gonzalez and Romero in connection with their roles in several issues, including street projects spending, speed hump installation and the financial adviser solicitation.
The commission began its investigation after an ethics complaint was filed against Romero and Gonzalez in December by Jim Tolbert, a community activist who ran unsuccessfully against Romero in 2013.
Fischer is serving as legal counsel for the investigation.
In the early stages of its investigation, Romero had not responded to any requests made by the commission, including not answering a set of questions sent to him by Fischer about the allegations against him.
Leeser sent a letter to Romero last week asking him to respond and cooperate with the investigation.
Romero submitted his responses to Fischer’s questions Tuesday, Leeser said.
The Ethics Commission is scheduled to hold its first hearing in the investigation on April 13.
District Attorney Jaime Esparza said his office is reviewing Fischer’s report, and he has also asked the Texas Rangers to help his office review it. He has not said what might result from the request.

In addition, the partners are exploring ways to incorporate the Leaf into GE’s Smart Home concept, which uses its Brillion technology to allow appliances to "talk" with a system that monitors home energy use. Smart appliances can use energy when it’s least expensive and least taxing on the local electrical grid.
GE makes its own electric-vehicle charger, called the WattStation, but that isn’t part of the partnership, said Mark Little, GE’s global research director.
Nissan has so far sold more than 15,000 Leaf pure electrics cars worldwide and imported and sold more than 7,000 electric vehicles in seven U.S. markets. By the end of 2012, Nissan plans to build the electric car in Tennessee and sell it nationwide.
To compare, General Motors had sold 3,498 Chevrolet Volt extended-range electrics through August, although GM built 7,520 Volts in Detroit-Hamtramck in that period.
GM has earmarked 6,000 of the 16,000 Volts it plans to build this year for dealer demos and overseas sales. It will deliver Volts nationwide by year’s end.
The electric car Leaf runs on battery power, while the Volt uses battery power for the first 35 miles and then switches to a gas-powered generator. | <urn:uuid:b33031db-5869-437b-9334-0e675c56d6a7> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.evwind.es/2011/10/02/nissan-ge-team-up-to-connect-electric-vehicles/13828 | 2020-09-21T19:08:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400202007.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20200921175057-20200921205057-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.927671 | 272 |

A special order is an order which in some way goes outside our current product mix (thus making it special). If you would like to order a special product from a vendor we conduct business with, we are happy to help you. However, as a small family owned and operated business, inventory control is an ever-pressing issue. It is virtually impossible to sell one item of one particular style as it is can not be displayed. As part of the special order process, we ask for a good-faith gesture on your behalf, such as leaving a credit card number or small deposit. This is just a way of assuring us that you truly intend to purchase your special order. Nothing will ever be charged to you prior to receiving your product and notifying you it has arrived. These sales are final, assuming that there are no defects with the special ordered product.
If you would like further explanation of this process, just ask us any time!

Second Sunday in Lent Feb 25, 2018
Welcome in the name of the Risen Lord Jesus Christ. If you are visiting, we are glad that you are here and kindly ask that you sign our guest book at the sanctuary doors. If you would like to become a member please speak to the Pastor. In case of illness, the Pastor should be informed. He will always be glad to speak with those who are confronted with problems of a spiritual nature. The time before worship is a quiet time for prayer and meditation to prepare for worship. Please see the inside cover of the hymnal for prayers and page 329f to prepare for Holy Communion. Communicant members are asked to fill out a communion card found in the pew racks and place it in the offering plates.
By the Cross of Our Lord Jesus, We Inherit Life Everlasting with God
In His covenant with Abraham, the Lord promised to be with him, to bless him and to make him “the father of a multitude of nations.” It is “an everlasting covenant” in Christ Jesus, the seed of Abraham who is blameless before God Almighty. All who believe in this Lord Jesus are the offspring of Abraham and are blessed “throughout their generations” (Gen. 17:1–7), because the Christ has suffered many things. He was rejected and killed, and after three days He rose again (Mark 8:31). To comprehend this theology of the cross, we must set our minds “on the things of God,” and not “on the things of man” (Mark 8:33). “God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Rom. 5:8). Therefore, having been “reconciled to God by the death of his Son,” much more “shall we be saved by his life” (Rom. 5:10). Baptized into His cross and resurrection, “we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,” and by faith we rejoice in the hope of His glory (Rom. 5:1–2).
Collect of the Day
O God, You see that of ourselves we have no strength. By Your mighty power defend us from all adversities that may happen to the body and from all evil thoughts that may assault and hurt the soul; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.

With six matches remaining in 2018/2019, Grimsby Town are nearing the end of their first full season under Michael Jolley.
Having steered the club away from relegation 12 months ago, the manager set about building his squad in the summer.
In total, ten players were brought to the club on permanent deals, with four loanees also joining the ranks; Akin Famewo, Luke Hendrie, Elliot Embleton and Ben Pringle.
Starting with a home defeat to Forest Green, the Mariners hit back at Macclesfield the following week. This is how they lined-up that day, before Mitch Rose saw red upon the restart.
One of the stand-out results this season was, of course, the 5-2 demolition of Tranmere Rovers at Blundell Park. They might have had a helping hand along the way, but victory for the Mariners was fully deserved.
Due to injuries and suspensions at various points of the season, it came amid a spell where Jolley was able to select a fairly settled XI.
By that stage, loanees Embleton and Pringle had become regulars, while Youth graduate Harry Clifton and fellow local lad – Charles Vernam – were thriving in central and attacking roles respectively.
With the addition of former Premier League man Danny Collins, this was how Town shaped-up for several matches in the run-up to Christmas.
Town made five signings during the January transfer window; with Sebastian Ring and Ludvig Öhman swapping the Allsvenskan for League Two, while Hendrie made his initial loan move from Shrewsbury a permanent one.
Joe Grayson and Kristian Dennis also arrived on loan, from Blackburn Rovers and Notts County.
A switch back to 3-5-2 followed, with Jolley now having more players at his disposal who are natural in the system. Aside from the incomings, the likes of Andrew Fox, Rose, Welsh and Louis Robles have all moved on to pastures new.
Max Wright and JJ Hooper remain out on loan, at Boston United and Bromley respectively.
Looking at the above – taken from the home draw against Bury last weekend – seven of these players are under contract next season, with the club also having an option on Harry Davis.
With that in mind, and given that others could extend their stay, the make-up of Town’s starting XI for the first game in 2019/2020 might not be altogether too different.
Targets and summer signings will follow to give the squad a fresh look, but there has already been a clear development in the squad this term, as identified by the three teams above.

Posted 27 April 2010
Staff and students at Harper Adams have been 'stepping' up their fitness regimes by taking part in National Walk to Work Week.
The campaign is aimed at encouraging people to walk more during the working week by either leaving their cars at home, or by walking during breaks and lunchtimes.
Colleagues at the University College have been comparing their daily steps by wearing pedometers and entering the results on the Walk to Work website.
Environment and Waste Management Officer, Karen Hughes, said: "The Walk to Work Week campaign has been extremely successful so far with organised walks in the mornings from Newport to the campus in Edgmond, and at lunchtimes.
"Walking is an excellent way to keep in shape and here at Harper Adams we are lucky to have such beautiful surroundings and countryside to explore and enjoy at the same time.
"Participating in this campaign has meant us not using our cars as much showing our commitment to reducing our carbon footprint as well as improving our health."

To try and understand how important Chico Bon Bon's tool belt is to him, know this: When Chico Bon Bon goes to bed, he takes off his tool belt, puts on his pajamas, and then restores his tool belt to its proper place. His waist. Chico Bon Bon, you see, is a monkey with a tool belt. You never know when a tool will be needed, and you never know what tool will be needed. It's best to be prepared.
Especially if an organ grinder from the circus comes, looking to replace his lost monkey.
Wait, wait, wait. Sorry. I'm getting ahead of myself. Before that we learn all about Chico Bon Bon. He (and his tool belt) are always finding ways to help. Sometimes he builds things. Sometimes he fixes things. Sometimes he builds things that need to be fixed. But no matter what the situation, his trusty tool belt always has the exact tool needed.
No tool belt, nor any tool contained within, will work properly without one smart cookie...uh, monkey...to put it to use. And Chico Bon Bon puts those tools to good use. A creative mind plus the proper tool equals one problem solved.
So whether it's a planer, strainer, or grease container. A monkey wrench, turkey wrench, or donkey wrench. A stapler or staple remover. A snozzer or snozz remover. It doesn't matter. Chico Bon Bon has it.
He's a monkey with a tool belt.
(Special thanks to my friends at the CCBC for introducing me to Chico Bon Bon and for having Monkey with a Tool Belt available for me to read!) | <urn:uuid:dc8902f9-d613-4113-bfd5-c17548a4e48b> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.helpreaderslovereading.com/2008/05/monkey-with-tool-belt-by-chris-monroe.html | 2020-09-21T18:45:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400202007.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20200921175057-20200921205057-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.941766 | 355 |

Marquette's sharpshooters overcome early foul trouble against Wisconsin
MADISON - The story is familiar to anyone who has watched this Marquette basketball team.
When the Golden Eagles are shooting lights-out on three-pointers, it covers up a lot of mistakes.
That was case again Saturday when MU (7-3) was 14 of 22 from beyond the arc in an 82-63 victory over Wisconsin (4-7) at the Kohl Center.
The usual suspects provided the sharpshooting from long distance: senior guard Andrew Rowsey was 5 of 6, sophomore guard Markus Howard 4 of 9 and sophomore wing Sam Hauser was 4 of 5.
Freshman wing Jamal Cain was the only other MU player to attempt a three-pointer, finishing 1 of 2.
But Golden Eagles coach Steve Wojciechowski had to constantly juggle his lineups with Rowsey and Howard battling foul trouble.
"The fact of the matter is we need one of those two kids on the court at all times for our offense to run, for our team to run," Wojciechowski said. "We were hoping we could escape the first half with neither of them getting three fouls. Unfortunately, we weren't able to do that. Some of that was within our control."
The coach was referring to Rowsey's technical foul at the 12:41 mark of the first half. Rowsey gave UW's Aaron Moesch a small push after the MU guard bit on a pump fake and fouled Brad Davison.
"They were just saying that was my move and one of the players started jawing in my ear, so I just kind of shoved him away. Which I shouldn't have done and I apologize for that," Rowsey said.
Rowsey was subbed out but he checked back in about three minutes later. His third foul came with 7:52 left before halftime.
Howard was able to shoulder the scoring load with Rowsey on the bench. He had 16 points in the first 20 minutes, including 3-of-7 shooting on three-pointers.
However, Howard also had two fouls in the first half. That loomed large with Rowsey still on the bench at the start of the second half. It was also the third straight game that Howard has gotten two fouls in the first half.
Howard was then whistled for his third foul just 1:11 minutes after halftime and MU leading, 41-35.
Rowsey was put back in the game and promptly took over. He scored 18 points in the second half, shooting 3 of 4 on threes and also going 7 of 7 on free throws.
"I knew coming into the second half that I would be a little stiff and tired from not playing that much in the first half," Rowsey said. "But I just trusted my teammates and trusted how Coach was letting us play on offense."
Howard came back in at the 12:51 mark and didn't get called for another foul. His step-back three-pointer gave MU a 77-56 lead with 3:37 remaining and extinguished any hope UW held.
Soon after that, MU's "Big Three" were celebrating on the bench in the waning seconds of a victory over their in-state rival.
"It was Sam's birthday yesterday, so I was just telling him 'Happy birthday,' " Rowsey said with a laugh.
The trio combined for 63 of MU's 82 points, another running theme of the season.
It was the first win at the Kohl Center for the two sophomores and the senior who transferred from UNC-Asheville.
"This is such a coveted rivalry," Howard said. "Just going through this week of preparation, we worked so hard. I think me and our team really just wanted to come out with a win and we wanted to do whatever it took to do that.
"So it means a lot coming on the road, this being our first road game, and really just executing the game plan well." | <urn:uuid:b750c190-436b-4999-b015-97946e3a0727> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.jsonline.com/story/sports/college/marquette/2017/12/09/marquettes-sharpshooters-overcome-early-foul-trouble-against-wisconsin/931484001/ | 2020-09-21T20:29:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400202007.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20200921175057-20200921205057-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.989127 | 832 |

STRESS AT WORK AND OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH
I need not have prepared a formal presentation for the seminar on stress at work last week. Debate was so well informed and engaged, the presentation was soon abandoned. The trigger for delegate participation was a reference to occupational health, and its failure to facilitate early returns to work in many cases.
When an employer makes a referral to its occupational health provider, it requests an assessment of fitness for work. If an employee is off sick, it asks for an indication of when the employee is likely to return, and what can be done to achieve an early resumption of full duties.
The doctors, nurses and counsellors who specialise in occupational health tend to be medical generalists, expected to give opinions on a wide range of injuries and conditions, and how they impact on a person’s working capacity. Few seem to have any specialist knowledge of how to manage stress at work, and the sort of illnesses it can cause.
In these cases, many absences are caused by disagreements with management, frequently following changes to working practices or personnel. A recurring theme, is occupational health’s failure to carry out any critical analysis of the employee’s account of his symptoms, or any objective evaluation of what is causing his difficulties at work.
It is not unusual for the health professional to accept the employee’s account at face value, and to advise the employer that no return is likely until the employee’s expectations are fully accommodated. The ramifications of this approach, and how a return to work is to be achieved, are left to the employer to determine.
An independent assessment of the employee’s mental health and whether it is work related is often missing. Instead, the diagnosis of the GP is adopted. Sometimes the doctor’s sick notes simply record “stress at work”, which is a state, rather than a medical condition. Conversely, I have known occupational health professionals suggest employees visit their GP and ask him to sign them off sick with stress.
Staying at home may not be the best option for the employee who feels under pressure. In most cases, his mental health is better served by remaining at work, where there is interaction with colleagues and others. At home, he may become isolated, withdrawn and lose perspective.
It is accepted by psychiatrists that those who remain off sick with stress for three weeks find it significantly more difficult to return to work than those who have been away for a shorter period. By the time a person has been away from work for six weeks, the prospects of securing a return to work drop to under 50%.
Early meaningful intervention is key, in order to secure an early return, and to preserve the employee’s career. When faced with an unhelpful occupational health report, rather than relentlessly quiz the maker of the report, as I saw a Human Resources professional do in a recent case, there are two options that might be considered:-
2. A second opinion from a psychiatrist who specializes in occupational health. | <urn:uuid:2cecf660-6e76-452a-84ed-22328655bb4e> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.marielirvine.com/post/2017/07/21/stress-at-work-and-occupational-health | 2020-09-21T18:37:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400202007.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20200921175057-20200921205057-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.970584 | 620 |

ST. JOHN'S, Oct. 13, 2016 /CNW/ - The aggregate1 house price in St. John's fell moderately in the third quarter of 2016, declining 3.2 per cent year-over-year to $332,597, according to the Royal LePage House Price Survey2 released today.
When broken out by housing type, the median price of a two-storey home dropped 3.4 per cent year-over-year to $376,553, while the median price of a bungalow slipped 1.8 per cent to $309,895. During the same period, condominium prices in the region declined 13.2 per cent to $257,876.
"Discussions around the implementation of a provincial fall mini-budget in St. John's have been a cause for concern in our region," said Glenn Larkin, sales representative, Royal LePage Professionals 2000. "It's a sigh of relief to see that the premier changed his mind and that there will be no tax changes. The looming threat of layoffs and cutbacks we originally anticipated are no longer expected."
"We're levelling out from the Fort McMurray shift we saw last quarter, and oil remains unchanged," continued Larkin. "As long as oil remains low, we'll be continuing along, steady as she goes through rocky waters."
Nationally, Canada's residential real estate market continued to grow in the third quarter of 2016, posting a 12.0 per cent year-over-year aggregate house price increase to $545,414. The price of a two-storey home rose 13.7 per cent year-over-year to $649,635, and the price of a bungalow increased 11.0 per cent to $459,481. During the same period, the price of a condominium increased 5.8 per cent to $360,679.
"Across Canada, our real estate markets remain healthy, with home values showing modest to strong (yet rational) price appreciation in almost every Canadian city," said Phil Soper, president and chief executive officer, Royal LePage. "Even in the hardest hit oil patch regions, prices have held up well, with small single-digit declines, year-over-year."
On October 3, 2016, Federal Finance Minister Bill Morneau announced new measures specifically designed to cool the country's housing market and curtail foreign buying activity. These measures are meant to bring consistency to mortgage insurance rules by standardizing eligibility for high- and low-ratio insured mortgages, expanding stress tests, and improving tax fairness by removing the ability of non-residents to claim capital gain exemptions, which are only applicable to properties identified as principal residences.
"Consumer confidence suffered a direct hit when the federal government introduced new, more restrictive regulations in early October," said Soper. "While it is too early to say definitively, it appears Canadian homebuyers are adjusting quickly, and that fears of a hard correction were unwarranted. While the changes are significant, major lenders may already be using similar criteria when writing mortgages in sensitive regions like Alberta and B.C., so the additional drag on the market resulting from the new legislation won't be as great as it appears on the surface."

The Family Garden Collection
Collection contains one packet of each variety:
- Aunt Molly's Ground Cherry (50 seeds)
- Ausilio Thin Skin Italian Pepper (25 seeds)
- Swenson's Swedish Pea (75 seeds)
- Teddy Bear Sunflower (100 seeds)
- Sweet Pea Currant Tomato (25 seeds)
- Cornfield Pumpkin Squash (25 seeds)
Please note: In the event of a seed packet shortage, we will substitute a variety. Rest assured—you're still getting six great varieties!
Aunt Molly's Ground Cherry
Easy-to-grow, prolific, and super-sweet, this ground cherry works well for preserves and pies, over ice cream, and in fresh-fruit salads—or can simply be eaten straight out of the garden. The plants have a sprawling habit and produce ½-¾" fruits encased in a papery husk that turns brown when the fruits ripen. This beloved variety takes its name from an ice cream stand, named not for a dear aunt, but for a cherished pet dog of the owners of Territorial Seed.
Ausilio Thin Skin Italian Pepper [Medium Hot]
This Italian-style, thin-skin frying pepper offers excellent flavor when stewed, dried, stuffed, or fried. Donated to Seed Savers Exchange by Chad Ogle-Riccelli of Des Moines, Iowa. This pepper has been passed down for five generations and is at the heart of the Ausilio family’s culinary traditions. 85-90 days from transplant.
Swenson's Swedish Pea
A sweet and flavorful snowpea, this variety is a productive, vigorous climber. The pea came to Seed Savers Exchange from Charles Swenson. His grandfather brought the variety to Minnesota from Sweden in 1876. Charles says the peas are typically harvested while still flat, then cut into ¼" pieces and creamed to make a traditional Scandinavian dish. Edible-podded, 70 days.
Teddy Bean Sunflower
(H. annuus) Beautiful double 4-6" golden-yellow blooms are great for cut flowers. Makes an excellent border in front of larger sunflowers. A favorite with children. Dwarf plants grow only 18-24" tall. Annual, 75 days.
Sweet Pea Currant Tomato
(S. pimpinellifolium) The best red currant tomato we offer to gardeners. Hundreds of fruits per plant. Excellent tomato flavor with a hint of wine. Fruits are borne in trusses of 10-12 on plants with a spreading habit. Great for use as a garnish. Introduced by SSE in 2004. Indeterminate, 75-80 days from transplant.
Cornfield Pumpkin Squash
(C. pepo) First offered by SSE member Glenn Drowns in the 1984 Yearbook from USDA seed. Our top choice for use as both a carving pumpkin and for fall decorations. Fruits are flattened, light-colored, thin-skinned, and weigh 12-15 pounds. Very sturdy stems rarely break off. Traditionally grown as a dual crop planted with field corn. 90 days. | <urn:uuid:32767222-3b1c-4a0e-98e6-5f10e2a13790> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.seedsavers.org/collection-the-family-garden | 2020-09-21T18:43:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400202007.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20200921175057-20200921205057-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.887312 | 657 |
A large surplus of school furniture, including a variety of student desks and chairs for all ages along with additional furniture such as tables, cabinets, shelving, and more was available to families on Wednesday, August 12th and Thursday, August 13th The SLV Maintenance and Grounds crews were on hand at the former Redwood Elementary Campus to distribute this furniture to families.
Maintaining social distancing protocols, staff showed parents and students all of the options available and assisted them with loading the furniture. It was two incredible days of smiling faces behind masks, and in several cases, tears of joy from parents who were so thankful for the opportunity to provide a dedicated learning space in their home in these difficult and uncertain times.
It is estimated that at least 500 students now have a dedicated home learning space as a result of this giveaway. Some grateful families even donated money to the district which will be used to provide meals to needy families.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE DISTRICT WILL HOST ANOTHER STUDENT DESK and CHAIR GIVEAWAY on Tuesday, August 18th and Wednesday, August 19th at the former Redwood Elementary School campus, between 9am and 1pm.
Redwood Elementary School Campus, 16900 Highway 9, Boulder Creek, CA

Thoughts on the vice presidency:
“You’re not going to take it, are you?”
— Grace Coolidge to her husband, Calvin, after he
was nominated for vice president in 1920.
“I suppose I’ll have to.”
— Coolidge’s reply. He became president
upon Warren Harding’s death in 1923.
“I do not propose to be buried until I am dead.”
— Daniel Webster, turning down
the vice presidency in 1839.
“Being vice president is comparable to “a man in a cataleptic fit; he cannot speak; he cannot move; he suffers no pain; he is perfectly conscious of all that goes on, but has no part in it.”
— Thomas R. Marshall, vice president
under Woodrow Wilson.
“I go to funerals. I go to earthquakes.”
— Nelson Rockefeller, frustrated in the vice presidency.
He was appointed after Richard Nixon resigned in 1974
and Vice President Gerald R. Ford became president.
“I am vice president. In this I am nothing, but I may be everything.”
— John Adams, elected vice president 1788 and 1792.
“The second office of this government is honorable and easy, the first is but a splendid misery.”
— Thomas Jefferson in 1797, when he was vice president.
“The chief embarrassment in discussing the office is that in explaining how little there is to say about it one has evidently said all there is to say.”
— Woodrow Wilson, when he was a professor.
“I would a great deal rather be anything, say professor of history, than vice president.”
— Theodore Roosevelt, before becoming William McKinley’s vice president and succeeding to the presidency
upon McKinley’s assassination in 1901.
“Well, there is always the thought in a fellow’s mind that he might get to be president.”
— House Speaker Sam Rayburn, explaining
to John F. Kennedy in 1960 why rival Lyndon B. Johnson
agreed to accept the vice presidential nomination.
“I have no interest in it. Might very well turn it down, indeed, and probably would.”
— Al Gore, before joining Bill Clinton
on the Democratic ticket in 1992.
“The vice president has two duties. One is to inquire daily as to the health of the president, and the other is to attend the funerals of Third World dictators. And neither of those do I find an enjoyable exercise.”
— Presidential candidate John McCain, in 2000,
addressing questions about whether he would consider
serving as rival candidate George Bush’s vice president.
“I never had a boss. I don’t know how I’d handle it.”
— Sen. Joseph Biden, asked in July about the possibility that he might be selected to be Barack Obama’s running mate. | <urn:uuid:0208eb70-784c-4c43-b487-afe7e174c877> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.telegram.com/article/20081005/NEWS/810050394 | 2020-09-21T18:00:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400202007.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20200921175057-20200921205057-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.94494 | 642 |

A father and daughter attempt to defend their flock of orphaned Canada Geese from idiotic burglars during the holidays… Have you seen that movie? No? Maybe because it’s a mash-up!

What are the Different Classifications of Divorces in Florida?
When entering a divorce, it is important to know what type of divorce proceedings you will be enduring. The procedure, although similarities exist in each case, can change depending on the classification of your divorce. The classification of your divorce is fact and situation specific. Therefore, when consulting with your Pensacola Divorce Attorney ensure you provide adequate detail regarding your case, so they may classify your divorce accordingly.
Simplified Dissolution of Marriage: In order to qualify for a simplified divorce, you and your spouse must agree to the divorce action, have no minor children, and have no disputed issues regarding the division of assets or debts. In this action, both parties are joint petitioners and must attend the final hearing before the judge. The only documents filed in addition to the Petition for Simplified Dissolution are respective financial affidavits, and a property settlement agreement. No claims of child support or alimony can be involved in a simplified divorce action. Further, these actions may be brought before a county court or circuit court.
Uncontested Dissolution of Marriage: This classification is similar to a simplified dissolution; however, the couple has minor children or alimony claims involved. Therefore, to meet the standards of an uncontested dissolution, you and your spouse must agree to the divorce, and be in agreement on all issues relating to your dissolution including; assets, debts, child custody, child support, visitation procedures, and any other pertinent matters to your specific case. The parties are classified as Petitioner and Respondent and the case must be filed in Circuit Court. Further, you are required to file a number of documents including a financial affidavit, mandatory disclosures, UCCJEA affidavit, Parenting Plans, and Child Support Guidelines. The unique document required of an uncontested action is the filing of a Marital Settlement Agreement documenting the provisions of your divorce.
Contested Dissolution of Marriage: This form of divorce is used when at least one issue is still disputed between the parties. If you and your partner have agreed to all matters except one, you will need to file a contested action. However, in many cases, a contested action transforms into an uncontested matter after an agreement is reached. For example, when a contested divorce is presented before a court, the parties are required to attend a mediation to attempt a dispute resolution outside of court action. In many cases, the items under dispute are resolved in this manner changing all matters to be undisputed and into an uncontested proceeding. However, if you and your partner fail to come to an agreement you case will be heard before a judge regarding all the disputed issues. The judge will hear the evidence presented from each side and determine the proper provisions of your divorce decree.
Although classifications may not change a great deal of the divorce proceedings, in certain cases they can save the parties time and money. Therefore, it is important to understand these different labels and ensure you provide your Pensacola Divorce Attorney with adequate detail regarding your case to ensure they are properly informed and will approach your case in the necessary manner.

Recreation centres back to regular hours October 1 – Includes links to updated schedules
From the City of Red Deer
City recreation centres to return to regular hours of operation
Starting October 1, the Collicutt Centre and G.H. Dawe Community Centre, will return to regular hours of operation.
In July, The City began a gradual, phased plan to re-open facilities and resume recreation and culture activities and programs, in line with the provincial health orders, restrictions and guidelines. With a better understanding of community demand and our new operating environment, we are able to return to regular hours of operation at the Collicutt Centre and the G.H. Dawe Community Centre.
Set to open September 14, hours at the Recreation Centre will be limited as we monitor and respond to demand. With the opening of the Recreation Centre, hours of operation at the Michener Aquatic Centre will also be modified to provide broad public access to aquatic amenities. Hours for specific facilities are available here.
“This is a significant step forward in our re-opening plans and we are excited to see that citizens and user groups are increasingly using our facilities,” said Barb McKee, Recreation Superintendent. “While we remain focussed on ensuring the health and safety of both users and staff, we are looking forward to increasing access to our facilities, through the change in hours, increased services and our fall programming.”
Citizens can participate in programs and activities in two ways:
- Activity Reservations – With no drop-in access or classes, all activities must be pre-booked. Everything from lane swimming to walking on the track requires an Activity Reservation – this means customers need to plan ahead and sign up in advance before arriving at a recreation facility. For more information and to pre-book, visit reddeer.ca/reserve. Reservations are available 14 days in advance.
- Fall programming – Registration for fall programs is open. These are programs that recur for a set period of time (e.g., swimming lessons). Create a custom online Activity Guide to find and register for programs.
Amenities and facilities continue to open. As previously announced, the Recreation Centre will open September 14 for registered programs, facility rentals and Activity Reservation. Also on September 14, fitness areas at the G.H. Dawe Community Centre will be available for use, through Activity Reservations.
Also effective October 1, the temporary discount for facility passes and admission will no longer be available. In early July, entrance fees were temporarily reduced to better reflect reduced hours of operation, service and program offerings.
“As we planned our gradual re-opening of amenities, we knew program and services would initially be limited, which is why we offered a temporary discount,” said McKee. “As we continue to increase our service levels, we also need to return to regular admission rates to ensure sustainability.”
The existing Activity Reservation Pass will not be available for purchase as of October 1. Anyone who purchases an Activity Reservation Pass in September will be offered a prorated credit as of October 1 toward the purchase of a new pass. More information about facility admission rates and passes is available here.
Visitors to recreation facilities are asked to wear a mask when a distance of two metres from others cannot be maintained. Mask wearing during intense, physical activity is not recommended.
City of Red Deer mandates mask use only on City Transit for now
From the City of Red Deer
City Council passes bylaw for mandatory face coverings in City transit vehicles
Masks are required in City transit in Red Deer starting August 31, 2020, after City Council gave third reading to a Mandatory Mask Bylaw at today’s regular Council meeting.
The bylaw requires masks to be worn when riding City transit vehicles. The bylaw comes into effect on August 31, 2020, and at this time, extends until December 31, 2020.
City Council also considered mandatory masking in public spaces beyond City transit; however, this bylaw was not adopted at this time. City Council may consider it in the future, as a mechanism to be responsive should the situation change. This would be done with direction and guidance from Provincial Health Authorities.
“The topic of masking is a divisive issue in our community. Today’s decision by City Council acknowledges the need for continued diligence in protecting the health and wellbeing of all Red Deerians while respecting the ever changing realities of COVID-19 and its impact on our community,” said Mayor Tara Veer.
Under the bylaw, face coverings means a medical or non-medical mask or other face covering to create a barrier that limits the transmission of respiratory droplets.
“Following City Council’s decision, masks are mandatory when people are riding City transit; however, for the time being, masks are not mandatory in other public spaces,” said Karen Mann, Emergency Management Coordinator. “We still encourage citizens to use masks voluntarily when needed, and when 2 metres of physical distancing cannot be maintained in public spaces.”
The fine for non-compliance is $50; however, The City’s preference is to educate prior to issuing tickets and fines.

How School Administrators Can Support School Bus Drivers
Monday February 5, 2018
School bus drivers have a dominant role in ensuring a safe transportation for school kids. Nevertheless, you can witness a remarkable driver shortage among schools.
Hence, it is the responsibility of transportation managers and administration to formulate procedures that enable them to retain drivers on the payroll.
At times, you are required to implement drastic actions as it is a challenging task to replace a driver.
Here follows 15 ways by which school administrators can support school bus drivers:
1. Providing healthy salaries
Salary is an enormous issue for school bus drivers. No doubt, a majority of schools fails to provide the salary they deserve. As a consequence, it is wise to be aware of the salaries distributed by other schools and alter the pay scale accordingly.
If you are not competitive and is concerned regarding your budget, certainly you will lose a multitude of drivers.
2. Offer other employment opportunities
Of course, offering other employment opportunities is an efficient way to reinforce driver and commit their duty effectively. When you support them and provide assistance to pay off their bills, they will prefer to stay in the duty.
3. Remain flexible to their simple requests
Never attempt to ignore the interests and requests of drivers. On the other hand, when their simple request is neglected, they will not respect the school administration, which negatively affects the school’s morale and principles.
4. Rewarding facility
Offering reward is a positive reinforcement for every employee and it works for school bus drivers. However, when you reward drivers for outstanding performance, you are motivating them to continue the practice of safe and legal driving.
5. Concentrate on the school bus rules and student safety
When you manage students on the school bus, you are augmenting the credibility and reputation of the school. Moreover, you can organize presentations and awareness programs for reducing the disciplinary issues.
6. Conduct community outreach
By conducting community research, you will be able to inform the public regarding the exceptional performance of school bus drivers. It can serve as a motivation to drivers.
7. Planning celebrations and dinners
Entertainment is also essential along with the duty. People will be interested in their work, when you organize celebrations, parties, and dinners, once in a while. Such celebrations can serve as morale boosters.
8. Don’t underestimate their work
As a matter of fact, every job is unique and relevant. Never attempt to underestimate them and categorize them as second-tier employees.
For instance, you can consider their opinions and encourage their participation in every school activities.
9. Sponsor continuous learning for drivers
By sponsoring learning and training, you will be able to provide adequate guidance to school bus drivers. Furthermore, you can also partner with a local community college or refund college classes.
10. Display a sense of personal interest
Displaying a personal interest can be an effective solution to please them, you can send birthday or anniversary cards. While you consider them and include them in the family, they will be delighted and will never quit the job.
11. Clean the driver’s common room
When you spruce up the driver’s common room, a positive energy will be filled in the driver’s minds. A new coat of paint or placing new chairs will create a genuinely positive effect on the drivers.
12. Create a rapport
Meanwhile, when you prioritize the drivers, they will be elated and offer their valuable opinions on the dominant issues. By involving them in the issues, you are inculcating positive vibes in them, thereby increasing their morale.
13. Value the driver’s time
Time is having a crucial role in school bus driving as it is intensely a time focused job. A negative image will be created among school bus drivers when the school administrator itself become late in the meetings.
14. Remain with the driver’s side
Staying with the driver’s side is essential, especially, when the driver is having sufficient evidence against disciplinary issues. It is not desirable to unnecessarily side with the parents, who is not physically present in the scene of the violation.
15. Willingness to install modern technologies
Technology can provide an immense assistance to drivers, henceforth it is advisable to install the GPS trackers, CCTV cameras, and RFID trackers. This will not only enhance the school bus safety, but also offers a relaxation to drivers.
In conclusion, school administrators can reduce the job related challenges of school bus drivers. The above technologies will lower the rate of driver retention and enhance the safety of school transportation. | <urn:uuid:82f3b0ee-7333-4b67-83f4-d882a9e4fa6e> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.trackschoolbus.com/blog/school-administrators-support-bus-drivers/ | 2020-09-21T18:35:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400202007.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20200921175057-20200921205057-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.949041 | 948 |

A Trust is an arrangement where an individual or a group of people are made responsible for assets which are to benefit another. These administrators are known as Trustees. The assets are held in trust until the desired time. This might be an event such as someone turning 18. Setting up a Trust can help minimise Inheritance Tax, protect family assets against care fees, to ringfence funds for future education.
There are different types of Trust with different advantages: Will Trusts and Lifetime Trusts can be either fixed (for example, where the beneficiary has an absolute right to occupy a house or receive income from investments) or discretionary (where the trustees have a discretion as to how to benefit any of potential beneficiaries). The tax treatment of such Trusts differs.
Lifetime Trusts are established straight away and are often known as Property or Asset Protection Trusts. By placing property outside your estate irrevocably (permanently take the assets out of your assets) such Trusts can have a number of advantages. However, once the asset has been placed in an irrevocable trust, it cannot be reversed so you must be sure of your decision to do so and know that you will not need the asset yourself one day.
As can be seen, there are significant implications to setting up a Trust, particularly a Lifetime Trust, so legal advice is essential.

Go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age. —Matthew 28:19-20 (NLT)
God's desire is for all people everywhere to come to know his love as demonstrated in Jesus' sacrifice for us on the cross. This unmerited grace isn't for any particular people group in any particular time. So we choose to answer God's call to go into all the world to share his love with others who, while they may not look or talk like we do, are not any different from us. We are all in need of God's free gift of grace.

The Heritage Society at Sam Houston Park recently unveiled their latest historical work of art, the mural by artists Jesse Sifuentes and Laura Lopez Cano Mexican-American History & Culture in 20th Century Houston. Commissioned by The Heritage Society in celebration of the many contributions made by Mexican-Americans in the City of Houston, the first-of-its-kind mural was officially unveiled to the public earlier this month.
Mural themes include Mexican immigration as people fled the Revolution at home, the jobs that the new immigrants took on the railroads and in Ship Channel industries, life in El Segundo Barrio, community institutions and the all-encompassing importance of extended family in the life of Mexican-Americans. Key Hispanic figures were included as well. Set against a backdrop of City Hall and the downtown skyline, this mural is a cultural landmark and prime photo opportunity in the very heart of Houston.

Access and manage your Zigbee PAN from anywhere on the Internet using standard web services protocols.
Our gateways provide computers with a secure network interface to a Zigbee PAN. Unlike a bridge, which logically extends a PAN across an internet connection, a gateway provides network services on behalf of a Zigbee PAN. These services are provided to network clients using REST, an open, well-supported, industry-standard remote procedure call (RPC) protocol.
Software on any computer can control or monitor any Zigbee device in the PAN via the Q53. Exegin provides an example python application, called Tiki2, for controlling the Q53.
Extend your Zigbee PAN from the top floor to the basement, or around the world—anywhere the Internet goes with the Q53’s Zigbee Bridge Device(ZBD) feature. You need two Q53 Zigbee Gateways to bridge the network.
Installation of the Q53 is quick and easy with DHCP. Once your Q53 is configured, you can manage it using its HTTP and SSH servers. | <urn:uuid:4aa476aa-4d63-4500-9dbe-6afc8f100016> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://www.exegin.com/hardware/q53-gateway/ | 2020-09-23T03:20:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400209665.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20200923015227-20200923045227-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.851615 | 219 |

Remnant Network - 8
A few years before concluding 16 consecutive years of exemplary service as Belvidere, Illinois' Mayor, Fred told me that he did not plan to run again.
I said, "Brother, while you have served our community, county, state, and country with unparalleled distinction and integrity as my favorite mayor of all time, I'm sensing your greatest leadership will now begin as an elder for Him in our family of faith on the corner of Lincoln and Main."
Proving that was an apocalyptic moment for us, Fred has become a visionary elder beyond the borders of petty parochialisms and shameless disobedience to our Lord's High Priestly Prayer in John 17 as he has prayed and labored tirelessly to bring the churches of our area together for common ministry under the Lordship of Jesus by the book.
He is also helping to shape our understanding of declaring to be part of the faithful remnant in the PCUSA.
He has written the next several paragraphs to help explain why we have declared remnant as he urges others likewise.
Why We Declared Remnant
On September 25th, 1960, the 1st Presbyterian Church in Belvidere, Illinois presented me the Holy Bible containing the Old and New Testaments. Leading up to that day, and ever since that day, I was taught, and I believed, the Holy Bible to be the infallible Word of God. The sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments is a complete and unified witness to God’s redemptive acts culminating in the incarnation of the Living Word, the Lord Jesus Christ. The Bible, uniquely and fully inspired by the Holy Spirit, is the supreme and final authority on all matters on which it speaks.
1 Corinthians 5: 1 – 2. It is actually reported that there is immorality among you, and of a kind that is not found even among pagans; for a man is living with his father’s wife, 2 And you are arrogant! Ought you not rather to mourn? Let him who has done this be removed from among you.
1 Corinthians 5: 9 – 13. I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with immoral men; 10 not at all meaning the immoral of this world, or the greedy and robbers, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world. 11 But rather I wrote to you not to associate with any one who bears the name of brother if he is guilty of immorality or greed, or is an idolater, reviler, drunkard, or robber – not even to eat with such a one.
12 For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Is it not those inside the church whom you are to judge? 13 God judges those outside, “Drive out the wicked person from among you.”
1 Corinthians 6: 9 – 19. Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, 10 nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor robbers will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the Spirit of God. 12 “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are helpful. “All things are lawful for me,” but I will not be enslaved by anything. 13 “Food is meant for the stomach and the stomach for food” – and God will destroy both one and the other. The body is not meant for immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. 14 And God raised the Lord and will also raise us up by his power. 15 Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I therefore take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never! 16 Do you not know that he who joins himself to a prostitute becomes one body with her? For, as it is written, “The two shall become one.” 17 But he who is united to the Lord becomes one spirit with him. 18 Shun immorality. Every other sin which a man commits is outside the body; but the immoral man sins against his own body. 19. Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God? You are not your own; 20 you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.
Now comes the action taken by the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), during the 221st General Assembly (2014), with the approval of an authoritative interpretation and a Book of Order amendment permitting ministers and sessions to use their own discernment to conduct same-sex marriage ceremonies where allowed by law. Biblical and theological rationales provided by the Office of the General Assembly on this action reflects a greater desire for the Church leadership to respond to the will of people, rather than the will of God, as provided within the Holy Bible.
Confusion created in many minds by this change in authoritative interpretation by the Presbyterian Church (USA), begs the question, “What does it mean to be ‘Presbyterian’?” The Evangelical Presbyterian Church, as an example of friends who have exited faithfully, offer the following definition: “To be Presbyterian is to be governed according to the pattern of elders seen in the Old and New Testaments. We are ruled neither by bishops in a hierarchical model not by members in a congregational model. Biblically qualified elders are recognized through congregational election and, along with ministers, rule the church corporately. It also means being connected in mutual accountability and responsibility. Just as individual Christians are connected to one another as members of the body of Christ, so also individual congregations are connected under Christ as the great Head of the Church”
Upon becoming an Elder in Our Family of Faith on the corner of Lincoln and Main (Belvidere, Illinois), where Jesus is Lord, and only Jesus is Lord, the authority of the Bible as our manual was reinforced. Session’s desire to remain faithful to our Lord Jesus Christ, by the Book, and only by the Book, adopted a proclamation to become recognized as “A Remnant in the Presbyterian Church USA”.
So what has changed? Is the Bible out of touch with life as we know it today, or is society out of touch with the Bible?
Read the words of the New Testament In Contemporary Language from Eugene H. Peterson’s The Message/Remix.
1 Corinthians 5: 1-2 I also received a report of scandalous sex within you church family, a kind that wouldn’t be tolerated even outside the church. One of your men is sleeping with his stepmother. And you’re so above it all that it doesn’t even faze you! Shouldn’t this break your hearts? Shouldn’t it bring you to your knees in tears? Shouldn’t this person and his conduct be confronted and dealt with?
1 Corinthians 5: 9-13 I wrote you in my earlier letter that you shouldn’t make yourselves at home among the sexually promiscuous. I didn’t mean that you should have nothing at all to do with outsiders of that sort. Or with crooks, whether blue – or whit-collar. Or with spiritual phonies, for that matter. You’d have to leave the world entirely to do that! But I am saying that you shouldn’t act as if everything is just fine when one of your Christian companions is promiscuous or crooked, is flip with God or rude to friends, get drunk or becomes greedy and predatory. You can’t just go along with this, treating it as acceptable behavior. I’m not responsible for what the outsiders do, but don’t we have some responsibility for those within our community of believers? God decides on the outsiders, but we need to decide when our brothers and sisters are out of line and, if necessary, clean house.
1 Corinthians 6: 9 – 19 Don’t you realize that this is not the way to live? Unjust people who don’t care about God will not be joining in his kingdom. Those who use and abuse each other, use and abuse sex, use and abuse the earth and everything in it, don’t qualify as citizens in God’s kingdom. A number of you know from experiences what I’m talking about, for not so long ago you were on that list. Since then, you’ve been cleaned up and given a fresh start by Jesus, our Mater, our Messiah, and by our God present in us, the Spirit. Just because something is technically legal doesn’t mean that it’s spiritually appropriate. If I went around dong whatever I thought I could get by with, I’d be a slave to my whims. You know the old saying, “First you eat to live, and then you live to eat”? Well, it may be true that the body is only a temporary thing, but that’s no excuse for stuffing your body with food, or indulging it with sex. Since the Master honors you with a body, honor him with your body!
That is why we have declared to be part of the faithful remnant in the PCUSA and beyond our parochial borders. Isn’t it time for you to declare?
“For what does it profit us to go along with the unfaithful majority, if we lose are souls?”
In closing, hear the word of the Lord from Colossians 2: 6 – 8 As therefore you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so live in him, 7 rooted and built up in him, and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving. 8 See to it that no one makes a prey of you by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the universe, and not according to Christ.

I’ve always heard that the negative thoughts in your head could harm you and harm your weight loss efforts. I think there is another type of thought you can have that can also possibly cause you harm – thoughts that you aren’t as big as you really are. Now that I’ve lost 44 pounds and I look at myself in the mirror, I still can’t believe I’ve lost 44 pounds. I feel like I currently look like what I have always thought I looked like. Imagine if someone who is severely obese doesn’t recognize that it’s gotten that bad. That was me. Even more unusual is the thought that once you’re obese, it’s hard to picture yourself anything but that. I know I still have a ways to go to hit my goal weight and I should be celebrating the weight loss that I’ve already lost (went from a size 20 to a size 14 pant) but I still look at myself as being obese, therefore I find it semi-hard to celebrate my weight loss. I wonder if I’ll ever not categorize myself as not obese, even when I’m at my goal.
I’d love to hear from others who have gone from being severely obese (also known as morbidly obese) to being at their goal weight. What are the thoughts in your head? How do you push through and stop looking at yourself as being fat?
Yesterday was Friday and in the past we’d celebrate it with ordering pizza. Now that we can’t do that, I decided to make our own pizza with the crust made from zucchinis. It was so delicious and just as good as our cauliflower crust pizza.
You can top your pizza with whatever you’d like but in anticipation of Cinco de Mayo coming up, I went with a Mexican themed pizza.
- 2 medium zucchini, shredded (about 2 cups)
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- Line a baking sheet or pizza stone with parchment paper.
- Shred your zucchini. With your hands, squeeze the zucchini to remove excess water. Add the eggs and cheese; mix well. Your hands work really well for this step.
- Spread the "dough" onto the pan/stone making sure you spread it evenly. If the middle is thicker than the ends, the ends could burn before the middle is cooked. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is cooked. Remove from oven and top with your desired toppings.
- Depending on your toppings, oven times will vary for putting it back in the oven. I topped mine with Pepperjack Cheese and Taco Meat and baked it for an additional 5 minutes. Remove from oven and top with shredded lettuce, scallions, tomatoes, jalapenos and cilantro. | <urn:uuid:478335cb-7bf4-4d44-9803-7d8df9d491aa> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://www.myeatingcleanjourney.com/thoughts-self-image-zucchini-pizza/ | 2020-09-23T02:25:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400209665.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20200923015227-20200923045227-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.967508 | 609 |
One of RK's favorite 60's Icons is Pattie Boyd-Harrison-Clapton. Pattie was married to two of the most famous rockers of all time but to us she was much more...
A little wiki bio:
Patricia Anne "Pattie" Boyd (born 17 March 1944) is an English model and photographer, and the first wife of George Harrison of The Beatles, after whom she married Eric Clapton. She was the inspiration of love songs written by both musicians, most notably Harrison's "Something," and Clapton's "Layla", "Wonderful Tonight," and "Bell Bottom Blues."
Boyd started her modelling career in 1962, but was rejected by many photographers owing to her unconventional looks, including rather prominent front teeth; one stated, "models don't look like rabbits". She modelled in London, New York and Paris (for Mary Quant and others), and was photographed by David Bailey and Terence Donovan.
An exhibition of photographs taken by Boyd during her days with Harrison and Clapton opened at the San Francisco Art Exchange on February 14, 2005, titled Through the Eye of a Muse. The exhibition also ran again in San Francisco in February 2006, and for six weeks between June and July 2006, in London.
Pattie is a fabulous photographer and author as well. We read her book and loved it. We did feel kind of sorry for her. Even though she lived a wealthy life style it seemed she just never quite found the love she needed.

Pattie has a fabulous website kudos to the designer! She has all her images there and she has the real images that aren't staged by professional photo shoots.
Pattie is still beautiful and in my opinion one the most iconic faces of the 1960's. A very talented woman who was much more than a rocker wife and model. Cheers Pattie!

With all the love runners talk about their long races, beautiful routes and recent competitions, at a doctor’s reception about their exploits, they usually keep quiet. Not everyone is ready to admit his not very sparing hobby.
“Many people are afraid to tell the doctor about injuries or any discomfort associated with running, because of fear that the doctor will completely prohibit them from doing this sport,” explains Delmas Bolin, a family physician and specialist in medical physical training from Virginia. “Therefore, they resort to silence information.” Read more

“No impartial observer would argue that Sony aren’t the market leaders right now. First out of the gate with 4K gaming, also leading the way with console-based Virtual Reality, and with multiple PS4 console variants on sale, we all know that Microsoft are the ones who have to impress this E3 with their Xbox keynote, not Sony.
But is that actually the case, though? You don’t stay on top by resting on your laurels. Despite the recent release of Farpoint, PSVR has been very quiet of late, and although boost mode came to PS4 Pro (allowing earlier PS4 games to benefit from the Pro console), Horizon Zero Dawn aside we’re not being told what to look forward to if we’ve invested in 4K TVs. So, then, what will Sony do this year? Never fear, we’ve got you covered.” | <urn:uuid:8ae39291-fb8b-4477-9310-ef2621fd46b8> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://adamcook.info/2017/05/24/what-to-expect-from-sony-at-e3-2017-red-bull/ | 2020-09-23T02:01:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400209665.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20200923015227-20200923045227-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.951425 | 189 |
By Clete Hux –
“The Unnatural Worldview of Homosexuality”
Introduction: It has been said that, “In the beginning God created man in His image and ever since man has attempted to return the favor!” Although this saying is used often in the sense of man making himself out to be God, it also speaks of man’s rejection of God and His order in creation. All people have a worldview. It is the lens through which they interpret life’s issues. Life is practiced because of worldview. That is, people live life according to how they see things. In Romans 1, the apostle Paul speaks of two very different worldviews that are diametrically opposed to one another. One is true and one is false. One is biblical and the other is unbiblical. There is one that is true to God’s designed intention. The other one is not.
A biblical cosmology is not just theistic, but specifically one which is clearly monotheistic (belief in one God). “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God the Lord is one” (Deut. 6:4). This worldview has a clear Creator/ creation distinction. He is separate from His creation. This separation of God from creation is important to our understanding as it should be quite clear that God is not creation and creation is not God. “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” (Gen. 1:1). Scripture says that the heavens declare the handiwork of God. (Ps. 19:1) Also, it says, “O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth. (Ps. 8:1)
Human beings innately or naturally know there is a Creator God which scriptures declare. Paul speaks of this – that people know there is a God through conscience, “…evidence in them because He showed it to them…”(Rom.1:19). Anthropology has yet to discover a people group that has not exhibited a sense of moral law. For example, a head hunter hunts heads, but resents his own head being hunted or a pick pocket picks pockets, but resents his own pocket being picked. Each suppresses the truth in his unrighteousness in that he recognizes God’s moral law when he is wronged but excuses his own immoral behavior.1
Also, we know that God exists through creation. His divine attributes are seen in what has been made (Rom 1:20). Cosmological evidence shows that every created thing was caused by God. Teleologically, every created thing has a purposeful order.
Mankind derives personal identity from this personal God. “In Him we live and move and have our very existence” (Acts 17:28). We are made in God’s image (Gen. 1:26). In this image, Adam and Eve were made male and female, respectively, as two distinct persons each having different yet complementary genders, i.e. “…male and female, made He them” (Gen. 1:27) This is God’s intended design. His order for human sexuality is such that the opposite sex is naturally attracted to the other. Our Lord affirmed this order when he said, “Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.’? So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together let not man separate.” (Matt. 19:4-6).
Against the biblical cosmology Paul presents another worldview. It rejects the idea that God has made Himself known in Creation, being a reaction to and rejection of Him and His order in creation. Also, evident is the rejection of God giving an order to proper sexual behavior.
This worldview is essentially monistic (the idea that all is one). It denies the Creator/creature distinction. When a relationship to the Creator is denied, all that is left is a relationship to creation.
One would think this rejection to be atheistic. It is not true atheism, however, because from a biblical perspective, there are no true atheists. Someone has written a book about this called Does God believe in Atheists?2 The truth is people are created in the image of God for worship and they will worship.
Paul says they “…exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man…”(Rom. 1:23). Exchanging the truth of God for a lie results in worshipping the creation rather than the Creator. (Rom. 1:25).
This monistic worldview is also a pagan one that does not necessarily deny that there is divinity. It simply turns the creative order upside down. Not only is the one personal Creator denied rightful worship, He is stripped of His divinity. That divinity is applied to creation itself. This is Pantheism (all is God) and characterizes the Eastern Mystical worldview. Many Neo-pagan groups, such as Wicca, emphasize this oneness with the divine.3
The influence of paganistic oneness or a distinctionless worldview in post-modern culture is evident. Remember when the Beatles said, “I am thee, thee is me, and I am the Walrus!” John Lennon sang, “Imagine . . . and the world will live as one!”
We see this monistic reaction to distinction in a number of ways. Some of these would include moral relativism (no moral absolutes), political correctness, religious pluralism (all, not just one, religions lead to God), eastern mysticism (Hinduism & Taoism), Yin/Yang, Yoga, and of course homosexuality and gender confusion.
Having abandoned God and His created order, God then abandons them to homosexuality as an evidence of His judgment. Homosexuality and gender distortion is a reversal of the natural created order of the binary distinction of male and female.
Paul appealed to the natural order in creation as a basis for condemning homosexual behavior. His argument from Romans 1 is that just as people naturally know God, as creation demonstrates His existence; people naturally know appropriate sexual practice because of how the physical body is made. That which is natural is observable in creation.
Also, the monistic pagan worldview not only distorts gender distinctions, it confuses them as well. It has been said that the goal of paganism is the conjunction of opposites.4 This makes homosexuality appear to be natural within that worldview.
Typical of pagan sexuality, the concept of Yin/Yang is often used to represent such synthesis and conjunction of opposites. It was chosen by SIECUS (Sex Information and Education Council of the United States) as its official symbol to promote comprehensive sex education. 5 Speaking of Yin/Yang, one pagan website article, Putting Yin in your Yang says, “This alternating pattern of male/female lives ensures that the soul gains sufficient experience in both forms in order to accumulate the wisdom from each experience. In this way the most raging chauvinist would reincarnate as the most radical feminist until finally the masculine and feminine energies begin to balance out.”
“So we should be careful not to pigeonhole these energetic states because that’s what gets us into trouble in the first place. These energies (including the classifications of gay, straight, male, female, lesbian, bisexual, masculine, feminine) all exist on their own continuum. So when we refer to these states we are pointing to a position on that continuum. Very rarely is anyone 100% masculine or feminine or gay or straight, despite claims otherwise. We all hold a particular percentage of these energies unique to our particular incarnation, so you could be 63 % feminine and 37% masculine, or vice versa.”6
Proponents of the Yin/Yang sexuality as the creative life principle argue that we are really androgynous beings. “Every person is at his or her core androgyny predisposed, because we all must learn how to perfectly express male and female. . . Thus we see that we are permeated, to our deepest essence, with Yin and Yang so that we will eventually learn to master both aspects . . . so we change the sex of our physical body throughout our various earthly existences. . . This is natural homosexuality . . .”7
Natural as it may seem to those who hold a naturalistic worldview, the Yin/Yang principle, expressive of homosexuality, is antithetical to God and is His created order of sexuality as laid out in scripture. As Christians, we can only reverse this upside down worldview as we model and practice life as God intended. Anything less is destructive to human dignity as human beings made in His image.

Except sometimes it doesn’t bubble when you think it should, and sometimes it bubbles when you don’t expect it to. An airlock that fails to bubble causes much concern for beginning homebrewers (second only, perhaps, to unsubstantiated fears of infection). But before you freak out, learn how they work and why a lack of bubbles probably isn’t the end of the world.
What an airlock does
Airlocks come in two basic models: the three-piece airlock and the S-shaped airlock. The three-piece airlock disassembles into, well, three pieces, which makes for easy cleaning in case it gets clogged during an especially aggressive fermentation. The S-shaped airlock features two vertical chambers connected by a sort of drain trap. Either airlock will suit your fermentation needs, but brewers sometimes prefer the three-piece model for primary fermentations (which carry the highest risks of clogging) and reserve S-shaped models for secondary fermentation and aging.
The sole purpose of any airlock is to allow an otherwise sealed fermentation environment to relieve internal pressure. That’s it. Airlocks aren’t designed to tell you anything, and they aren’t indicators of fermentation. When an airlock bubbles, it simply means that the air pressure inside the bucket or carboy is sufficiently high to push up the little column of water and relieve the pressure.
It’s not bubbling!
If an airlock fails to bubble, all it means is that the pressure within the fermentor isn’t high enough to make it do so. This can easily happen if the lid isn’t fully closed, or if the seal isn’t perfect. One of my bucket’s lids has a small crack along the side that prevents an airtight seal, so the airlock never bubbles when I use that particular lid. Sometimes the grommets or stopper fails to properly seal with the airlock itself and lets pressure escape with no bubbles.
Temperature also plays a role. The colder the wort, the more carbon dioxide it absorbs before gas begins to vent. This is especially true for cold-fermented lagers, which may ferment for several days before the airlock begins to bubble (if ever).
The best way to judge fermentation progress is to open the lid and draw a sample. Take a hydrometer reading of the sample and compare it to the original gravity of the wort. Smell and taste the sample, and let your senses inform you. If your gravity hasn’t moved and the sample tastes sweet and flat, then you may need fresh yeast. But if the gravity has dropped a few points and the sample has a yeasty twang, some sweetness, and perhaps some spritziness, then rest assured that all is well.
It’s bubbling again!
Sometimes an airlock resumes bubbling several days or weeks after fermentation has stopped. Although certain yeast strains can spontaneously start fermenting again, it’s more likely that the beer is releasing carbon dioxide as it warms up. Remember that gases are less soluble in warm liquids than in cold ones. So if your finished beer warms up a few degrees, carbon dioxide may come out of solution and make the airlock bubble even though active fermentation is complete.
Again, the only way to really know is to pull a sample and check the gravity. Has your beer reached its anticipated final gravity? Does the sample taste alcoholic and fruity (depending on the style), or is it still sweet? Only your senses and a measurement can say for sure.
The moral of all of this is that airlocks are fun to watch and sniff, but they don’t tell you anything. When you know how to monitor fermentation with your senses and a hydrometer, you’ll spend less time worrying and more time enjoying the hobby. | <urn:uuid:e13d9e47-67f1-46f1-a2ff-410d17c8afb5> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://beerandbrewing.com/airlock-fundamentals/ | 2020-09-23T02:37:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400209665.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20200923015227-20200923045227-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.935283 | 806 |
This interview, conducted by Rick Goetz, was originally posted as “Relationship Marketing Strategies on Google+” on MusicianCoaching.com. Reprinted with permission.
Heather Fay is a Connecticut-based singer/songwriter who has gained recognition for being one of the first musicians to use the “Hangouts On Air” platform on Google+ (AKA Google Plus) to build a global audience for her music. In addition to performing Hangout concerts for her nearly 200,000 followers, she hosts a series of open-mic Google Hangouts, which enable her to build an ever-growing network of musicians from around the world. Heather also plays shows in CT and New York City at venues including Rockwood Music Hall and the Living Room.
What have your experiences been with marketing and promotion? It sounds like a majority of your music marketing strategy has been online based.
Social media and online platforms really lend themselves beautifully to someone who is a mother aside from being an artist. I’m not 20-years old and I can’t jump into a van with my band and tour the country for months on end to build an audience. Being a mom and a wife, I’m at a different stage in my life than a lot of musicians who are just coming into their own.
I started by working with MySpace and submitting to internet radio and doing some things with Facebook. I really am not great at Twitter, but I’ve been working on it. And there has definitely been an audience in these places, but it wasn’t until I started using Google+ that it really felt like the right timing, right people and the right phase in my career. That has been the platform for me, especially because of the Hangouts. The Hangouts allow me to play a show face to face.
How many people can see you play through that?
Google+ now has the “On Air” function, so I can hit a button, and I’m broadcasting to anyone on Google+ in the world who has the link and has my page. I think there are a few countries that don’t yet have the On Air capability. But I’m playing to people in Japan, Australia, Europe, India and all over. I can play a show while my kids are napping and reach a global audience.
Many musicians have claimed that Google+ is not necessarily revolutionary. Why do you think this platform has worked so well for you?
There are a few reasons I think it’s worked well. First of all, people come to Google+ and put their content up, thinking that’s going to be enough. But the communities on Google+ are a little different from how they are on other social media platforms. Because they allow engagement and conversation, you really need to build relationships. So, you have to actually work at it. You have to have conversations with people and spend time in Hangouts meeting new people. You really have to put yourself out there and be involved and interested in what other people are doing. You can’t just sign up like you might on Facebook, put your music up there, sit back and see what happens. The platform just doesn’t work that way.
And Google+ has recognized you as someone who is using it well.
I got on there right when it first started. And I was reluctant at first, because it just felt like one more thing I had to do on top of Facebook and everything else. But within the first week or two, I saw potential with the Hangouts and just really threw myself into it. As they were testing new features, I volunteered to help test them. And I think Google is looking for people who will use this platform in interesting ways, so being one of the first musicians on there, I had an advantage. I think they’ve really recognized how much it has been helping me.
In terms of numbers, I have 155,000 people, and growing in my circles. I know a lot of people say Google+ is a ghost town, but I am continuously reaching new fans from all over the world. It kind of blows my mind. A global audience is not something I ever thought I’d have.
Another thing I did when I first started using Hangouts is connect to other musicians in some meaningful ways. I really wanted to use Google+ to reach out to other musicians, because I just thought it would really be cool to start conversations with them and build a global network of other people like me. So, I started an “open-mic” hangout and invited other musicians so we could share our music. And I broadcast it, so I’m not only showcasing my music but other people’s music. It has built a real community, and I really would refer to that as the biggest mark I’ve made on the platform. I’ve played shows with musicians I’ve never met in person. And now I know that if I ever have the money to do a European or world tour, I have friends to gig swap with.
That’s another thing about being an independent musician: without this, I wouldn’t know where to start when looking for places to play around the world or musicians to play shows with if I were to tour. Now because of this, I have musician friends that can share booking information with me, and I can share my resources with them if they ever come to New York City.
Has your success on Google+ been based entirely on your participation in the different communities, or have you noticed specific things you need to do with details like profile design, etc. to get noticed?
In my opinion, the community scene is very visual. For example, there’s a huge photography and art community, so the whole platform is set up very visually. You open up your stream, and there are a lot of images going by. I’ve noticed that when you write something as an update, if you add a cool photo, people tend to be more interested than if you just put up text.
But also, content is incredibly important. I actually share who I am on Google+. On Facebook, I keep my identities very separate. There’s “HeatherFayMusic,” and then there’s my personal profile. But on Google+, I feel compelled to share who I am with total strangers. I’m of course cautious with what I present. But if I’m having a hard time juggling the kids and my music career on any given day, that is part of my journey as a musician. I am a mom and an artist, and sometimes that is hard. So, that might mean I post a morning photo of cereal spilled all over the kitchen with a comment about not having time to practice.
I think because of the Hangouts platform and that fact that you can build relationships so easily, it’s a really compelling experience. For instance, if I am having a real conversation with someone in Hangouts, they want to know who I am outside of just music. If I am being myself and sharing my story, people in my circles will be that much more invested in my success. I am able to build a stronger connection, because I can actually talk to people one-on-one and build a fan base with real interactions. And I think my fans really become invested in me.
Is there anything you can point to that you did on Google+ consistently that other musicians didn’t do that has made you successful?
I think the “open mic” Hangout was really the unique thing I did that didn’t exist before, but that other people really wanted. I think people enjoy sitting back and seeing who else is out there. I think that particular Hangout was what gave me a name on Google+.
Did that provide you with a good opportunity to market yourself to those other musicians’ fan bases?
I think so, and vice versa. Because, we would feature a musician as well on the open mic. So, we’d give someone more songs than everyone else one night and talk to them a little bit so everyone watching and participating could get to know them. There is a huge crossover of similar fans if you look at the circles of all the people that have participated in the open mics. And it makes you wonder if people feel like they have to ultimately choose their favorite artist – if there would be some sort of rivalry going on. But the community is really supportive of everyone, so there’s no need for anyone to play favorites. It’s really open to all different types of music.

Heather is currently in the studio recording songs for her upcoming album, which will be released early 2013. | <urn:uuid:9e960b93-691c-470f-b1e9-470636257347> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://blog.discmakers.com/2012/09/using-google-plus-to-build-a-global-music-audience-and-community/ | 2020-09-23T03:47:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400209665.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20200923015227-20200923045227-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.977727 | 1,866 |
There’s also a steam distilled essential oil made from the hemp seed which will be also used in cosmetics and aromatherapy practices. Here we’re referring to the expeller forced food product.
Usage of the Hemp seed started in China sometime about 2300B.C. Based on Asian values, the place offers the prescription for immortality. The Asian also used hemp fat to treat Malaria, monthly issues and fertility. In the 10th century, the Indians started to utilize the gas to deal with indigestion, and anorexia as well as external wounds and infections, asthma, menstrual suffering and more.
Until the beginning of that century, the place fiber was used to create fabric, sails and ropes. However, in the curiosity to be eco-friendly, many businesses are once more providing material from Hemp fibers. Hemp fat is wealthy with unsaturated fats and necessary fatty acids. About 30-35% of the fat of the hemp vegetables may be the gas, which can be forced out in the manufacturing of the oil. The oil provides the necessary fatty acids OMEGA 3 and OMEGA 6 at a maximum higher rate, exactly like chest milk. The gas also includes protein, necessary supplements and nutrients, which makes it a perfect dietary supplement.
Crucial fatty acids are the cornerstones of correct nourishment rehabilitation and healing the body from disease. Even in the cosmetics industry, Hemp gas leads the way. Medical studies have shown that Hemp oil is particularly effective in healing serious epidermis issue such as for instance atopic dermatitis entirely up to burns. Hemp oil strengthens the immune protection system, assists maintain a wholesome aerobic system, and is effective in helping your body struggle an extended listing of problems such as lowering “bad” cholesterol, increasing “great” cholesterol, decreasing blood pressure and reducing the chance of coronary arrest, as well as being anti-inflammatory.
If you are a cancer sufferer and are starting chemotherapy, applying Hemp oil is advised at the exact same time. It encourages healthy cell creation and decreases the injury to your body consequently of treatment. The oil doesn’t conflict with standard healing solutions and isn’t a cure, but rather is complimentary. In 1995, Deborah Gez created Moriah Herbs, and produced more than 30 decades of experience to the subject of herbal medicine. Moriah Herbs is just a head in aromatherapy, crucial oils and organic healing.
Many people are very keen on using beauty items like human body oils and products which can be made by major companies. But since these items are quite expensive, not absolutely all persons have the ability to enjoy them. But what’s promising for others who would like to take to epidermis maintenance systems is that there are solutions that even provide greater benefits. Hemp oil’s benefits in comparison to other items are better and far better in achieving optimum wellness condition.
A hemp fat is produced after demanding hemp seeds. That gas is considered to be rich in many nutrients required by your body, many of these are the Omega 6 and Omega 3, proteins, and other necessary fatty acids. According to World Health Company (WHO), these acids are needed by your body for optimal health.
Although the oil is thought to provide a lot of advantages, other folks continue to be unwilling about it. Since it has tetrahydrocannabinol, people believe it is never as balanced as it appears. But based on companies that manufacture hemp oil, only the seed contains this factor; thus, these components are eliminated during the method of demanding the vegetables to acquire the High CBD Strains, Best CBD Strains, High CBD Hemp Strains. | <urn:uuid:65839672-910f-4ed6-9fb1-87e3c59ffdae> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://boltonian.com/organic-hemp-oil-the-king-of-oils/ | 2020-09-23T02:54:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400209665.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20200923015227-20200923045227-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.959675 | 747 |
Murkowski Drops Bomb On McConnell Dealings With WH,
Sen. Lisa Murkowski the same senator who voted against the confirmation of Justice Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.
She Said that he was a “good man” but “I believe we are dealing with issues right now that are bigger than a nominee,” now is offering another histrionic display of her moral conscience,
asserting that she is “disturbed” that Senate Mitch McConnell has stated he will work in “total coordination with the White House counsel’s office and the people who are representing the president as well as the Senate” as he deals with the House’s impeachment of President Trump.
MORE ON WHAT MURKOWSKI SAID ON MCCONNELL DEALINGS WITH WH
McConnell had stated, “I’m coordinating with the White House counsel.
There will be no difference between the president’s position and our position as to how to handle this, to the extent that we can.
”He added, “We don’t have the kind of ball control on this that a typical issue, for example, comes over from the House; if I don’t like it, we don’t take it up.
We have no choice but to take it up, but we’ll be working through this process, hopefully in a fairly short period of time in total coordination with White House counsel’s office and the people who are representing the President in the well of the Senate,” according to USA Today.
On Tuesday, Murkowski said, according to KTUU, “How we will deal with witnesses remains to be seen,” then continued,
“I think it is fair to say right now that there is so much uncertainty … “ She said that the House rushed through the impeachment,
saying, “Speaker Pelosi was very clear, very direct that her goal was to get this done before Christmas.”

The Salvation Army meets need in each community exactly as that community needs. And this year, as the need grew due to COVID-19, The Salvation Army went into emergency response mode across the country to provide food programs and shelter services.
Since mid-March, just in the western U.S., The Salvation Army has provided more than 5.2 million meals, beverages and snacks to people in need, plus another 787,000 food boxes that feed multiple people for a few days. Beyond food, more than 500,000 nights of lodging have been provided and volunteers have given some 324,000 hours of time in service.
These are eight personal stories of how The Salvation Army is right there with you, especially now.
Ruben, an employee of The Salvation Army Los Angeles Red Shield Center, talks about the importance of helping others in response to the COVID-19 crisis.
“We don’t want anybody to go home without a bag of food. We want them to have food at home. When the kids say, ‘Dad, I’m hungry.’ It is there. That is why we are here to serve them.”
Captain Allison Struck, Corps Officer of The Salvation Army Anaheim (California) Corps, talks about her experience serving those who have come to The Salvation Army looking for support, both physical and emotional.
“In my conversations with mothers, I have been profoundly impacted by what these mothers are struggling with not only wondering if there’s going to be enough food or if they’re going to be able to keep the lights on or if they’re even going to be able to stay in the apartment they are also worrying about homeschooling their children and keeping their children safe and keeping their children healthy and so The Salvation Army is able to come along holistically and not just talk about meeting the practical needs but we’re here for you emotionally. We want to pray with you.”
Brandon, a resident of The Salvation Army Way In Shelter for youth experiencing homelessness in Los Angeles, shares his story of not being able to cross back into Canada during COVID-10 and the help he’s receiving in the meantime.
“Here we all come from different situations…we all have different stories which we want to share those stories and be with each other in a time like this is just absolutely amazing. I wouldn’t really have it any other way besides being home, obviously, but I think right now I’m in a pretty good situation.”
Sergeant Becky Jensen of the Air National Guard describes her experience in helping The Salvation Army provide support to the local community.
“It’s very exciting to be working with The Salvation Army, to see the direct impact…I see families of all different types. The need is here and so it’s really helpful to see all these people who are in need and getting what they need.”
The Salvation Army is providing food relief to those suffering during the COVID-19 crisis, and each food box tells a story. This is Maria’s story.
“With the current situation, my husband is out of a job, and I am the only one working so it’s nice to have some extra help.”
Captain Terry Masango, Corps Officer of The Salvation Army Pasadena (California) Tabernacle Corps, describes his experience serving on the frontlines of The Salvation Army’s response to the COVID-19 crisis.
“We have seen a tripling of the numbers of people we are serving. There are many people today who have been furloughed or have lost their jobs because of the impact of COVID-19 and, as The Salvation Army, we’re here to remind them and to encourage them along that you may be down but you are not out…We are a center of hope.”
Patrick, who is out of work due to the COVID-19 crisis, talks about why he’s chosen to volunteer with The Salvation Army in Santa Monica, California.
“I wanted to do something a little productive with my time. I figure I have time, I can help others…There’s so much out there, so many ways to help. Look for all the opportunities you can.”
Nichol Whiteman, Director of the Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation, talks about partnering with The Salvation Army and opening Dodger Stadium for an event to provide over 40,000 meals to families in one day.
“The Dodgers Foundation’s vision is that every Angeleno, regardless of zip code, should have the opportunity to thrive…The Salvation Army is a pillar in the community when you think about relief in times of need. You guys know it well, so we should do it with you. And the impact we’re able to make here today is amazing.”

I know what you’re thinking, the week isn’t even over and you’re already posting the week’s report… I don’t have a trip planned for today or tomorrow so might as well get the report out now so everyone can read it for the weekend onslaught!
This week we took a detour and went out on the Boston North Shore to scout out some more spots and see what the fishing was like. After a quick stop at Tomo’s Tackle for supplies (if you haven’t been there, you should go – they have anything and everything you need!) we launched and went out looking for fish. After hammering some really fishy looking water with soft plastics and plugs with no luck, we went out to see if there was any bait around. There was a nice shelf from shallow water to deeper water on the chart, so we went and started looking for mackerel there and found them pretty easily. We filled the well and headed back to the same spots we were fishing less than 30 mins ago and FISH ON! We fished until we ran out of mackerel and contemplated going back for more when we started having problems with the navigation lights so headed in before it got too dark.
We did get out in Boston Harbor for a couple hours on a not so great tide and really had to work for some smaller fish on soft plastics. The chart plotter was lit up like the Milky Way, but the fish were just having none of what we were offering. If we had enough time to get out and find bait it might have worked out differently, but I guess we’ll never know. | <urn:uuid:951e156a-94ec-4966-9a88-9d4d44818f0d> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://flyguyfishguide.com/2017/08/25/boston-harbor-fishing-report-august-20-august-26th-2017/ | 2020-09-23T03:34:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400209665.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20200923015227-20200923045227-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.984074 | 342 |

If you wake up every morning feeling love you’ve got a wicked case of hay fever (even in the middle of winter), what’s exterior your window might not be to blame. You could be allergic to something lurking indoors, correct under your nose…or head.
Not to gross you out too much, but these microscopic buggers are literally everywhere in your home, including your bed.
They live in soft surfaces (think couches, rugs, and curtains) and feed off your dead skin cells, according to the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences. They’re also a major source of allergens for a lot of people, and yup—the symptoms glance just love hay fever.
“People with a dust mite allergy may develop a stuffy nose, sneezing, itchy eyes, post nasal drip, and a cough,” says Kathleen Dass, MD, an allergist and immunologist based in Michigan.
“One clue that you may own a dust mite allergy is if you go to sleep feeling well but wake up with significant nose, eye, skin, or respiratory symptoms.”
And, you guessed it, pillows are one of the *biggest* sources of exposure. It makes sense: If your face is coming into contact with a dust mite-riddled surface every night for eight hours straight, of course you’re going to wake up feeling miserable.
Thankfully, this is where hypoallergenic pillows come in. “Hypoallergenic pillows are grand for people with hay fever, seasonal allergies, year-round allergies (allergic rhinitis or allergic rhino-conjunctivitis), asthma, or eczema,” says Dr.
In fact, the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology recommends that dust mite allergy sufferers focus on upgrading their bedding to reduce symptoms, and hypoallergenic pillows (which are filled with materials that repel dust mites) are a grand put to start.
But before you run out and purchase one, there’s a few things to hold in mind. “Make certain the pillow is actually labeled hypoallergenic because this guarantees it will protect you from dust mites,” says Dr.
Dass. “But also glance for the same basics you would glance for in any pillow—firmness, filling, pillow height, and size—since you still need to get a excellent night’s rest.” You also desire to avoid pillows with harsh chemicals, raw materials, and below feathers (if you’re allergic), since they can make you feel even worse.
If you’re hoping a hypoallergenic pillow will solve every your sleep-related sniffles and sneezes, here are nine options that are almost guaranteed to bring you sweet relief.

There’s nothing nicer after a endless day than snuggling up with the perfect pillow that envelops your head in comfort.
But you know who else loves pillows? Dust mites.
To a dust mite, your pillow is heaven, filled with the tasty dead skin cells that they love to feast upon.
And one of a dust mite’s favourite season is correct about now: spring and summer, because the only thing dust mites love more than skin cells, is heat and humidity.
You’ve probably never seen a dust mite; they are mostly invisible to the naked eye and hundreds of them can live in just one gram of dust. They are found wherever there’s dust — which is to tell, beautiful much every over the home, but they hide extremely nicely in carpeting and upholstered furniture and thrive in warm environments such as bedding, which tend to trap heat and humidity.
While dust mites sound disgusting, they don’t bite and don’t carry disease.
For the most part, they are as harmless as any of the other microbes we own on our skin and in our bellies. But the tiny little feces of dust mites contain an allergen that can set off asthma or sinus problems in those with dust allergies.
DUST MITE ALLERGIES
According to the Asthma Society of Canada, one in five Canadians has respiratory allergies that cause something called “perennial allergic rhinitis”: year-round runny nose and sniffles typically caused by an allergy to dust mites, pet dander, or mould.
The rate is even higher among those with asthma; 75 to 80 per cent of them also suffer from allergic rhinitis.
Dust mites can infest every kinds of pillows — feather, below, microfiber, or polyester foam. That means notone type is immune to them.
The Asthma Society recommends that those diagnosed with dust mite allergies should invest in mite-proof pillow and mattress covers, which are made of a fabric similar to typewriter ribbon with a tight weave that does not permit mites to penetrate.
But a study a few years ago by the non-profit Cochrane Review found that the covers may not do much. The review looked at 54 studies involving 3,000 asthma patients and found that no physical intervention was effective at reducing dust mite exposure.
They found that the level of allergens is so high in most homes that what remains even after the use of mite-proof protectors is still high enough to cause allergic reactions.
Noah Farber, the director of public affairs at the Asthma Society of Canada, says it’s not possible to avoid allergens 100 per cent. “So we urge our patient community to do everything you can to minimize exposure to triggers,” he told CTVNews.ca.
He says the protectors create a barrier to hold ancient mites in, and stop new mites from getting in.
“They are certainly not the only solution but they can be a contributing factor to helping to reduce allergens,” he said.
Farber adds his group advises those with asthma and dust mite allergies to replace their pillow every five years and their mattresses every 10 years, and use air purifiers where they can.
WHAT ABOUT THE Relax OF US?
So do the four in five of us without dust allergies need to worry about dust mites?
Probably not, but that doesn’t mean we don’t still need to periodically replace our pillows.
Christine Magee of Sleep Country Canada told CTV’s Canada AM not endless ago that there is no hard and quick law about when to throw your pillow. Generally, if you’re consistently waking up with a sore neck, or having a tough time moulding the pillow around you the way you love, it’s time to get a new one.
Another way to decide if your pillow is beyond help: fold it in half, and if it doesn’t spring back into shape within 30 seconds — even after it’s been washed and dried — it should be replaced.
WASH PILLOWS OFTEN
Yes, you can wash pillows and yes, you should.
Throw them into the laundry at least two or three times a year to get rid of dust, sweat and saliva stains — more often if you suffer from dust allergies.
There are lots of guides on washing pillows, including this one from the maven of housekeeping Martha Stewart, but essentially, a little detergent and Borax to neutralize sweat smells is every you need. Almost every pillows except foam ones can go in the wash. Just be certain they are fully dried to eliminate every leftover moisture.
Since foam pellet and solid foam pillows cannot go in the dryer, they should be regularly vacuumed orperiodically replaced.
WASH THE OTHER STUFF TOO
Duvets and comforters should also be washed a few times a year too to get rid of dust mites, and yes, even down-filled duvets can go in the wash (check the care label to be sure).
Because they are heavy, it’s best to go a laundromat and use the large-capacity washers there. Same goes for king-size comforters, which are probably too large for a home washer, tell housekeeping experts.
If you suspect you own dust allergies, the Asthma Society of Canada recommends washing sheets, pillowcases, and mattress protectors every single week, because dust mites multiply in just a matter of days. Dry the bed linens in a boiling dryer, instead of on a clothesline, because while air-drying saves money, the linens can pick up pollen, which numerous with dust allergies are also allergic to.
OTHER TIPS TO REDUCE DUST MITES
The Asthma Society of Canada offers a few more tips for minimizing dust mites:
- Avoid humidifiers in the winter.
Yes, extremely dry air can dry out nasal passages, but humidity levels should be kept under 50 per cent since dust mites can’t survive in dry environments.
- Keep clutter in the bedroom to a minimum to reduce dust accumulation. That means move bookcases out and get rid of knick knacks; they’re just dust magnets.
- Remove carpets, especially in the bedroom, since it’s hard to remove every mites with just vacuuming.
- Dust and mop floors frequently.
- If carpet removal is not possible, vacuum at least once a week and invest in regular steam-cleaning to kill mites
- Use air conditioning in the summer to reduce humidity and mite growth.
- Skip regular duct cleaning because the Asthma Society says there is no evidence it reduces household concentrations of dust mites.
If you suffer from allergies, then you’re probably familiar with a variety of factors that trigger your allergy symptoms, as well as some effective ways of dealing with these factors and your symptoms.
However, you might not be aware that the bedding you use could be making your allergies worse. Getting a excellent night’s sleep is essential for anyone, but if you suffer from allergies then it’s even more significant, as a restless night combined with your allergy symptoms can make for a extremely groggy, unproductive day. To assist kick allergens out of your bedroom, let’s talk about bedding that could be irritating you and what to glance for in order to remedy the problem. | <urn:uuid:da09ca22-7693-4c21-93db-3e389e84eaa8> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://health4we.com/what-is-the-best-comforter-for-allergies/ | 2020-09-23T03:04:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400209665.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20200923015227-20200923045227-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.921504 | 4,775 |

Using multiple data sources, the teacher or team makes a decision to adapt the intervention program to better meet the student’s individual needs. The teacher or team outlines these adaptations in an individual student plan. The plan may include adaptation strategies along several dimensions. These strategies may include quantitative changes, such as providing more opportunities for a student to respond by increasing the length or frequency of the intervention, or decreasing the size of the intervention group. The strategies also may include qualitative changes, such as altering the way content is delivered (e.g., more carefully selecting instructional foci aligned with students’ needs), changing how a student responds (e.g., providing more opportunities to practice orally and in writing), arranging environmental variables (e.g., arranging for instruction in a setting that allows students to focus without distractions), or adjusting the type of adult feedback and error correction a student receives. Often, a qualitative adaptation in combination with a quantitative change is necessary to meet a student’s unique needs. In some cases, the diagnostic data may indicate that the student requires a different intervention program or approach.
When making decisions about adaptations, the teacher or team may consider the dimensions of the Taxonomy of Intervention Intensity (strength, dosage, alignment, attention to transfer, comprehensiveness, behavioral or academic support, and individualization) described in the validated intervention platform step. The dimensions help provide a systematic approach to intensification.

Abstract: Supermassive black holes, million to billion times more massive than the Sun, are now believed to lurk at the centre of every galaxy. Furthermore, it would appear that supermassive black holes "know" in which galaxy they live, as bigger galaxies contain bigger supermassive black holes and vice versa. This suggests that the formation of galaxies and the growth of supermassive black holes are tightly linked, which is surprising considering that despite their tremendous mass such black holes are still much smaller than their host galaxies, just like DNA molecules to a human body. Could they play a similarly vital role in the growth of galaxies?

With Coronavirus (COVID-19) cases rapidly increasing around the world, it is likely just a matter of time before cases reach your area, if they have not already done so. The impact COVID-19, or any pandemic, can have on schools and families is significant.
Similarly, the impact that smart, well-informed schools can have on their communities is also significant. We must be ready and willing to prioritize public health and the well-being of our children and faculty.
Getting valid information from reliable sources is the primary step schools must take. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization are your best sources of information on how to react to this crisis.
There are three important areas for schools to consider: Nonpharmaceutical interventions (NPIs), communication, and continuity of your school’s mission.
Nonpharmaceutical Interventions (NPIs)
NPIs are interventions schools can take to slow the spread of illness. Many of the approaches in this area should always be followed—but schools should place renewed emphasis on them now. The following are NPIs schools should consider.
Emphasize everyday preventive actions
- Teach younger students and remind older students to cover their coughs and sneezes with a tissue. Provide multiple boxes of tissues and hand sanitizers in each classroom.
- Wash your hands. With elementary students, stop at the restroom before and after lunch for hand washing. Teach them to sing a song that lasts 20 seconds. Hand sanitizer is better than nothing, but does not replace hand washing.
- Clean surfaces and objects frequently. In most cases, desks, computers, and other objects are not cleaned daily. Put procedures in place to clean these surfaces. You should also encourage children and adults to wipe these areas when they’re finished. Provide easy access to cleaning supplies (for example, to use on computer screens and keyboards after each use). This is particularly important where students are eating (cafeteria, snack areas, student lounges, etc.). Ensure you also have a plan for professional deep cleaning.
- Assure your food service follows proper health standards. If anyone touches food, they must re-glove before continuing.
- Stay at home when sick. Make it the school policy that students and staff stay home for at least 24 hours after signs of a fever. When recommended by health officials, expand your policy to caution your staff members to stay home if anyone in their household shows symptoms. Plan for potential absences by making plans so colleagues can cover for one another. You should also have a policy regarding the number of teachers and staff members who can be out before you must close school because your staff-to-student ratio will be too high for safety.
- Appoint an Emergency Operations Coordinator. This person is already likely on your staff. This individual should review systems and protocols for pandemic responses. This person is also the lead in establishing relationships with local public health and emergency services.
- Track absences. Have a method for tracking both staff and student absences and the reasons for them. While this seems obvious, many schools we work with cannot access absence reports over time.
Be prepared to institute enhanced preventive actions
- Increase space between people. In past pandemic preparation documents, the CDC has advised increasing space between people to at least three feet. This might include spacing desks, putting a space between diners at cafeteria tables, and holding classes outside.
- Allow for remote work whenever possible. Identify which job functions must be on campus (as long as school is open), but allow others to work remotely.
- Postpone or cancel school events. While students and parents will be disappointed that a game, trip, or performance is canceled, you must put student health and the public interest ahead of such activities. The decision will be guided by advice and information from the CDC, WHO, and your local authorities. Postpone events, rather than cancel, whenever possible.
- Close school buildings. This may be directed by local health officials or you may do it yourself. We have seen schools close for 14 days in response to a confirmed student contraction of COVID-19 to allow the incubation period to “expire.” Even if your buildings are closed, the school's classes can continue with online/blended learning or video conferencing.
- Plan online learning. It is vital that each school and teacher plan for the potential of being out for two to four weeks due to an outbreak in your area. If you aren’t already prepared, you should immediately secure a method by which teachers can conduct classes and students can participate in a virtual modality. Teachers and students should learn to use the technology, and communicate this to parents.
Communication is key to maintaining a supportive and predictable environment, especially amid chaos. Families need to know that their children are safe (to the extent they can be); that you are implementing wise, expert-informed or directed methods; and that the integrity of the students’ progress will not be harmed.
- Stay on top of communications. Communicate multiple times a day through your usual channels. Your Communications Director and team should monitor the latest developments, responding immediately and in coordination with your Leadership Team.
- Identify any barriers that parents may have in receiving your messages and take steps to overcome those barriers (language, facility with or access to technology, etc.).
Under the banner of communications, some reporting to national or local organizations might be required. A school lawyer should review the impact of such reporting on HIPAA and other privacy laws.
Continuity of Mission
Remember your Board’s primary concern is the long-term viability of the school. Times of crisis lead families to make major course corrections (i.e., leave the school) if impeccable care is not taken with their children’s safety and education. Assuring care requires good decision-making and proper procedures. Dealing with these issues may require financial support. This is what cash reserves are for.
The Leadership Team’s primary concern must be the students and faculty. If the school must close, keeping to a routine while realizing that flexibility may be needed is essential. This will help with the likely anxiety that students, parents, and teachers will experience.
Remote Learning Experiences
It’s obvious that using remote teaching and learning is necessary to continue education when the school building is closed. The primary aspects to have in place include:
- Learning Management Systems for syllabus management and resource sharing. (e.g., Google Classroom, Moodle). A more school-specific system allows teachers to set up a syllabus online for students to use. They can also provide videos, resource links, and create and track assignments.
- File storage and sharing (e.g., Google Drive, Dropbox).
- Communication tools (e.g., Edmodo, Slack, Facebook Groups, Google Classroom).
- Learning applications (e.g., Khan Academy).
- Video conference tools (e.g., Google Hangouts, Zoom, Blue Jeans).
In most schools, teachers and staff have laptops with built-in video cameras. Such equipment will facilitate remote teaching and meetings. If you have not provided your teachers with this equipment, external cameras/microphones may be necessary.
What is not clear is if educators and students have internet connections strong enough to handle the bandwidth necessary for some of these applications. Providing cords to plug in directly to home routers, temporarily giving them administrator access, or even paying a stipend to increase their home internet speeds may be necessary and wise.
Stay True to Your Mission
Each of the above allows for the “business” of school to continue. However, do not forget the other components of a great education: relationships, engagement, fun, and cultivation of curiosity.
- Use communication tools (such as video conferencing) to gather each day, even if students work independently or in small groups. For example, advisory groups and morning meetings can and should be continued.
- Implement fun applications (such as Kaboot!, GoNoodle, or Prodigy) to help teachers engage with students in ways that are taken for granted when in the classroom. Have each teacher identify and share widely available applications they may already use that can help maintain engagement and a sense of community.
- Encourage individual passions by allowing students to use this time to learn something they’re interested in. Have them share this information with their classmates. For example, students might learn to play the guitar, code, or master the basics of a new language.
- Create a schedule to maintain a sense of structure. Organization and routine can help keep focus in what could be a highly emotional and chaotic time for faculty, staff, and students. If you move to a remote schedule, it’s important to build in time for meetings, independent work, individual conferences, and physical movement for students and teachers. Do not simply transfer your current schedule, as it won’t provide the flexibility you need. Consider time restraints like trips to healthcare providers or if a family has an insufficient number of devices (for example, think about a teacher in your school who has two children—they will need three devices to access “school” at the same time). We’ve provided a sample schedule for middle and uppers school here.
- Assure continued access to support. During work and conference time, there must be opportunities for teachers and students to speak one-on-one or in small groups to check in, answer questions, and provide general support. However, perhaps now more than ever, students may also need access to emotional support. It is advisable to make time for the advisory program, one version of which is outlined in the sample schedule. In addition, it is advisable to have counseling staff available during portions of the day to help students talk through issues.
- Access to tech support. There will inevitably be technology bumps in the road. Students and teachers need to have means to get those issues fixed.
Remain prepared, informed, and in continual communication with local and government organizations to do what’s best for your school and your students during this time.
Upcoming Events. Lead with Clarity.

Legends say that Jews first came to the Iberian peninsula during the reign of Nebuchadnezzar in the 6thcentury BCE or maybe even beforehand during the reign of King Solomon in 900s BCE. Jews lived and remain active in social and commercial life of the peninsula during the Visigoth and Muslim periods of occupation 5th -8th century C.E.
Several important Jewish communities were already active when the kingdom of Portugal was founded in the 12th century. During the first dynasty, Jews enjoy relative protection from the crown. The crown recognized the Jewish community as a distinct legal entity and appointed specific rulers to adjucate their cases. King Affonso Henriques (1139-85) entrusted Yahia ben Yahi III, a Jew, with the role of royal tax collector and supervisor; Yahia be Yahi III also became the first chief Rabbi of the Portugese Jewish community. Yahia ben Yahi's grandson,
Jose ben Yahi was appointed High Steward of the Realm, by Henriques' successor, King Sancho I (1185-1211).
Tensions arose between the Jewish community, who choose to remain faithful to their religion, and the local clergy and middle/lower classes. The clergy wanted to invoke restrictions of the Lateran Council against the Jews, but King Dinis (1279-1235) resisted and reassured the Jews that they did not have to pay tithes to the church.
Golden Age of Discovery
The 13th and 14th centuries were known as Portugal's Golden Age of Discovery, in which Jews made a major contribution to Portugal's success. In the early 14th century, more than 200,000 Jews lived in Portugal, which was about 20 percent of the total population.
Jews lived in separate quarters, but had freedom to move within the country; these quarters remained until the Jewish expulsion from Portugal. Each of these quarters had its own synagogue, slaughter house, hospital, jails, bath houses and other institutions. A rabbi served as the administrative and legal authority within the commune.
Portugal was home to many famous Jews during this period. Abraham Zacuto wrote tables that provided the principal base for Portugese navigation, including those used by Vasco Da Gama on his trip to India. Guedelha-Master Guedelha served as a rabbi and doctor and astrologer for both King Duarte and King Alfonso V. Isaac Abravanel was one of the principal merchants and a member of one the most influential Jewish families in Portugal. Another figure, Jose Vizinho, served as doctor and astrologer to King Joao II. Joao II also sent the Jew, Abraham de Beja, on many voyages to the East.
Jews became the intellectual and economic elite of the country. Jews were involved in all aspects of the explorations, from financing the sailing fleets to making scientific discoveries in the fields of mathematics, medicine and cartography. Many were employed as physicians and astronomers as well royal treasurers, tax collectors and advisors. It was common to see Jews adorned in silk clothing, carrying gilt swords and riding beautiful horses. They were given preferential treatment by the kings.
Jealous of the Jews success, anti-Jewish sentiment arose in the peasant and middle classes. Fights between Jews and Christians became more common after the influx of Jews from Spain into Portugal, in 1391.
During the reign of King Joao I (1385-1432), Jews were forced to wear a special habit and to obey a curfew. Joao's successor, King Duarte (1433-1438), introduced laws forbidding Jews from employing Christians. A reprieve took place during King's Alfonso V's rule, when many of these restrictions were repealed.
In 1492, King Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain expelled all the Jews from Spain. More than 150,000 Spanish Jews came to Portugal seeking permanent refuge. King Joao II of Portugal allowed them to enter because he was preparing for war against the Moors and wanted to take advantage of their wealth and expertise in weapon-making. At a price of 100 Cruzados a family, 630 wealthy Jewish families were granted permanent residence. A number of craftsmen, skilled in making weapons, were also allowed to become permanent residence. The rest were permitted to stay in Portugal for eight months, upon payment of
8 cruzados per adult. At the end of those eight months, shipping was still not available, so the King forfeited Jewish liberty and declared the remaining Jews slaves.
Another tragedy befell the Jewish community in 1493, when the King ordered the separation of Jewish children from their parents. Seven hundred children were sent to the newly discovered island of Sao Tome, off west coast of Africa. In 1993, descendants of those children held a ceremony commemorating the event.
Expulsion from Portugal
Following King Joao's death in 1494, Manuel I ascended to the throne and restored the Jews freedom. His legitimacy as heir to the throne was challenged, so he decided to solidify his position by marrying Princess Isabel of Spain. Isabel told Manuel that she would only marry him if he expelled the Jews. Their marriage contract was signed on November 30, 1496, and, five days later, he issued a decree forcing all Jews to leave Portugal by October 1497.
Manuel was never content with his decision, mainly because he appreciated the economic value of the Jews to the country. To make it more difficult for Jews to leave, he made Lisbon the only viable port of exit. He also tried to convert as many Jews to Christianity as he could to keep them in Portugal.
On March 19, 1497 (the first day of Passover), Jewish parents were ordered to take their children, between the ages of four and fourteen, to Lisbon. Upon arrival, the parents were informed that their children were going to be taken away from them and were to be given to Catholic families to be raised as good Catholics. Children were literally torn from their parents and others were smothered, some parents chose to kill themselves and their kids rather than be separated. After awhile, some parents agreed to be baptized, along with their children,
while others succumbed and handed over their babies.
In October 1497, about 20,000 Jews came to Lisbon to prepare for departure to other lands. They were herded into the courtyard of Os estaos, a palace and were approached by priests trying to convert them. Some capitulated, while the rest waited around until the time of departure had passed. Those who did not convert were told they forfeited their freedom and would become slaves. More succumbed. Finally the rest were sprinkled with baptismal waters and were declared "New Christians."
While many of the New Christians accepted their religion, many chose to continue practicing Judaism behind closed doors, while publicly practicing Catholic rituals; they became known as Marranos or crypto-Jews. The Portugese majority still considered the "New Christians" Jews, despite their outward affiliation with Christianity. Claims against the Marranos were presented to the King, along with a list of crypto-Jews.
In 1506, 3,000 "New Christians" were massacred in Lisbon. Afterward, King Manuel executed 45 of the main culprits who had incited the mob.
Popular support for a Portugese Inquisition surfaced in 1531, when many Christians blamed the New Christians for the recent earthquake. Pope Clement VII authorized the Inquisition and the first auto-da-fe (trial) took place in Lisbon on September 20, 1540.
The right to seize and confiscate the property of the accused led to the arrest of every prominent "New Christian" family. Once arrested, death was only escaped if one admitted to Judaizing and implicated friends and family. Other sentences included public admission of the alleged sins, the obligatory wearing of a special penitential habit and burning at the stake. Urged by greed, eventually even genuine Christians were martyred.
Among those murdered were many famous Jews of the period, including Isaac de Castro Tartas, Antonio Serrao de Castro and Antonio Jose da Silva,
who was later known as "The Jew."
Attempting to evade the Inquisition, many Portugese Marrano families fled to Amsterdam, Salonika and other places across the Old and New worlds. In 1654, 23 Portugese Jews arrived in New Amsterdam (New York) and became the first Jewish settlers in the United States. The stream of refugees did not stop until the end of the Inquisition in the late 18th century. The last public auto-de-fe took place in 1765; however, the Inquisition was not formally disbanded until after the liberal revolt in 1821.
Around 1800, Portugal decided to "invite Jews" back into the country and reverse Portugal's economic decline. The first Jewish settlers to come were British. Tombstones, written in Hebrew and dating back to 1804, can be found in a corner of the British cemetery in Lisbon. Other Jewish immigrants came from Morocco, Tangiers and Gibraltar. Official recognition to the Jewish community was not granted until 1892.
After granting the community recognition, Shaare Tikvah synagogue was built in Lisbon, however, the synagogue was not allowed to face the street.
In 1912, the new Portugese Republic reaffirmed the community's rights. The Jewish community was able to maintain places of worship, a cemetery and a hevra kadisha (burial society) and could slaughter animals in accordance to Jewish law, register births, deaths, and marriages and collect charity.
Conversions to Catholicism were still frequent though in the 1920's, splitting families; this tendency declined by the 1950's.
Marrano Rennaissance & Customs
A brief Marrano renaissance occurred in the early 1930's led by Artur Carlos de Barros Basto. Basto, a Marrano Jew, decided to convert to Orthodox Judaism at the age of 33. He became an engineer, served as a professional soldier, was decorated after World War I for his bravery and eventually was promoted to captain. Known as the "Portugese Dreyfus," Basto was dismissed from the army because he was a Jew.
After leaving the army, Captain Basto established a synagogue in the city of Oporto. He also began writing a weekly newspaper and began visiting remote villages, often in full military regalia. Accompanying him on these trips were two medical doctors who performed circumcisions when needed. (Circumcision was one of the first Jewish customs to be dropped because of its identifying nature.)
The synagogue of Oporto grew and moved into a new building donated by Ellie Kadoorie, a wealthy Sephardic Jew. The "Kadoorie" synagogue was built on property bought and donated by Baron Edmond de Rothschild of Paris. Another synagogue was established in Braganca, with its own Rabbi.
Basto also established a yeshiva in Oporto, which ran for nine years educating more than 90 students. These activities did not go unnoticed by the government, especially after an estimated 10,000 families across Portugal admitted to practicing Judaism in secret. Trumped up charges were brought against the Captain and he was court-martialed, stripped of his rank and was forced to close the yeshiva. Thus the Marrano renaissance was brought to an end.
Marranos practiced Judaism privately in their own homes, however, they abandoned any obvious identifying Jewish practice, such as circumcision, mikveh and the celebration of any public holiday. The celebration of Yom Kippur and Passover were done a couple days late to confuse the Inquisitors. Shabbat lamps were hidden inside clay pots, so those outside could not see the light burning. Jewish women also led prayer services, since this was the job normally performed by males.
If a community member died, a minyan gathered at the home of the families members, but made it appear as if their attendance was just done to consol the mourners.
Catholicism did make some inroads into the lives of the Marranos, resulting in a unique combination of Jewish and Christian rituals and terms. For example, Marranos worshiped Saint Moses and Saint Queen Esther and celebrated Little Christmas (which roughly coincided with Hanukkah. Marranos also prayed with a Judaized version of the Lord's prayer.
The phrase, "I enter this house, but I do not adore sticks or stones , only the G-d of Israel," was muttered before entering a Catholic Church and is still stated by Marrano Jews.
Because sacred Jewish texts could not be used, the Marrano community created their own prayer books, one of these is called the Rebordelo manuscript (Rebordelo is a remote village in Portugal). Inside this handwritten prayer book are prayers for different occasions, which seem to date to the early 18thcentury. The book also contains a list of recommendations on how to live an ethical life. Also, there is a folk ballad about a wandering Jewish troubadour who elopes with a girl trying to avoid a marriage to a rich man.
Besides for books like these, the only references available to the Marrano community about Jewish life and history is the Old Testament.
Many of these Marrano practices are still being performed behind closed doors and shaded windows. In 1920, in the town of Braganca, no child under the age of 12 was permitted to attend religious meetings, out of fear of the child innocently exposing their secret faith.
In 1987, David Augusto Canelo, a non-Jew,
wanted to write a book about the last Crypto-Jews and was only able to obtain interviews with the community members if he agreed not to use their names. Community members still fear being "tried" by the Inquisition.
In 1991 a French TV crew wanted to film the ceremony of matzah preparation performed by the Marrano community to be seen in a French documentary. The crew was allowed to tape the ceremony, which was still performed secretly. A door knock in the middle of the filming scared many of the participants, despite the fact that the Inquisition had ended more than 150 years earlier.
World War II & the Holocaust
Approximately 380 Jews were living in Portugal during the outbreak of World War II and an additional 650 Jewish refugees from Central Europe were granted "resident" status. After France fell to Nazi Germany, Portugal adopted a liberal visa policy allowing thousands of Jewish refugees to enter the country, however, those of Russian origin or birth were excluded. More stringent restrictions were made in immigration policy, from late 1940 to spring 1941, resulting in decrease usage of its ports.
During the Holocaust, Aristides de Sousa Mendes, disobeyed government orders and issues visas enabling Jews to travel from France to Portugal.
He was dismissed for disobedience and died impoverished. For his efforts, he was later recognized as one of the "Righteous Among the Nations," Portugal's only honoree.
During the second part of the war, Portugal agreed to give entry visas to those coming via rescue operations, on the condition that Portugal would only be used as a transit point. Portugal also joined other neutral countries in the efforts made to save Hungarian Jewry. More than 100,000 Jews and refuges were able to flee Nazi Germany into freedom via Lisbon. All of Portugal's Jews and Jewish refugees living there survived the war.
Portugal and Israel had low level ties in the 1950's. In 1959 the Bank of Portugal and the Bank of Israel established financial relations. Diplomatic relations were not established though until 1977.
Following the revolution in Portugal in 1974 and the ensuing unrest, about half of Portugal's Jewish population left the country and immigrated to Israel, Brazil, Canada and the U.S.
Today there are about 600 Jews living in Portugal, as well as a Marrano community numbering close to 100 individuals. Marrano communities were discovered by Samuel Schwartz, a Polish mining engineer, in remote mountain villages. Many of the Marranos did not believe Schwartz was Jewish because he openly identified himself as a Jew and they believed they were the only Jews still living. The communities were only convinced of his Jewish identity after he recited the Shema prayer. In recent years, many members of the Marrano community decided to reconvert to Orthodox Judaism.
In 1997, Portugal's National Assembly marked the expulsion from Portugal and commemorated the development of exile Portugese communities throughout the world. A special session attended by dignitaries was held in the capitol.
Also in 1997, Portugal's Prime Minister announced that he would conduct an investigation into government documents relating to the transfer of gold from Nazi Germany into Portugese banks.
The largest Jewish community of about 300 can be found in Lisbon, where there are two synagogues, one Sephardic, Shaare Tikva and one Ashkenazi, Ohel Yaacov (Ohel Jacob). Lisbon's Jewish community is centered around the Comunidade Israelita de Lisboa, or the Jewish Community of Lisbon, a community center that houses Shaare Tikva. The Sephardic synagogue offers traditional services, study groups, children's activities, and cultural events and houses documents and religious objects dating back to the 1300s.
Ohel Jacob is the only Ashkenazi synagogue in the Iberian Peninsula and was originally established as an Orthodox congregation. The synagogue was inactive for a period, but following its reconstitution in the 1990's the Bnei-anussim, or children of Marranos, who were interested in returning to Judaism, were welcomed at the Ohel Jacob synagogue.
Ohel Jacob is housed on the second floor of a rundown building at Avenida Elias Garcia 110. The HeHaver Jewish Association, which currently administers the Ohel Jacob building, allows Kehilat Beit Israel to use the synagogue for the practice of Masorti, or Conservative, Judaism, which has welcomed Bnei-anussim back to the community. Beit Israel is under the rabbinical authority of Rabbi Jules Harlow. Today, the Bnei-anussim make up about one third of this Ashkenazi congregation in Lisbon. Ohel Jacob will be rededicated on December 17th, 2006. This will be the first synagogue dedication in Portugal since the opening of the Belmonte synagogue in 1997.
There is also a Jewish cultural center, a kosher butcher, a special slaughtering house and a home for the aged in Lisbon. Jewish visitors to Lisbon may be interested in visiting the remains of the medieval Jewish quarter and Rossio Square, the site of the Palace of the Inquisition, where 1,300 Jews were burned at the stake. A collection of Jewish tombstones, with inscriptions written in Hebrew, can be found at the Archaeological Museum. In the National Museum of Ancient Art, there is a painting of Grao Vasco, a 16th century Jew.
Located about 80 kilometers north of Lisbon is the seaside village of Obidos, in the Costa de Prata region. A Jewish community lived in Obidos between the fifth and seventh centuries, when the city was occupied by the Visigoth. Another Jewish community lived there between the eighth and twelfth centuries, while it was under Arab rule. In Obidos's Jewish quarter, a synagogue can be found that dates to the end of the 12th century.
Also in the Costa de Prata region, in the city of Tomar, an ancient 15th century Jewish synagogue and mikveh, one of the two surviving monuments of medieval Jewish heritage, can be found. The synagogue has become a national museum and features historic remains of medieval Portugese communities. In 1993 a Yom Kippur service was held at the synagogue because of the large number of Jewish tourists.
In the Costa Verde region, a small Jewish community can be found in the city of Porto, which served as a major center for Jewish traders during the Middle Ages. One of the sites is the earliest known Jewish Quarter found in Portugal, now Rua de Santa Ana. Visitors can also visit the Kadoorie Synagogue as well.
In the mountainous village of Belmonte, the last Marrano community can be found. In 1997, Portugal's first new synagogue in 70 years was dedicated in Belmonte. The dedication ceremony was attended by Israeli President Ezer Weizman and Portugal's President Jorge Sampaio. Many of members Belmonte's Marrano community have reconverted to Orthodox Judaism. In Belmonte there is also a mikveh.
Excavations of possible 15th century synagogues are being undertaken in Evora, in the mountain village of Castelo de Vide and in Valencia de Alcantara, which is on the Spanish side of the border.
In Evora, there is a stone with Hebrew inscriptions on it, dated 1378, which can be found in the Evora Museum along with a money box and bench from the Inquisition. Across the street from the Evora Museum in the Public library is a rare 1st edition copy of the "Almanac Perpetuum" written by Abraham Zacuto.
In April 2013, the Portuguese Parliament introduced legislation entitling descendants of Jews who left Portugal during the Inquisition period Portuguese citizenship. Also that month, Portuguese researchers discovered and catalogued hundreds of secret markings that Jews left on buildings in Seia, a municipality in north Portugal, during the 16th century after their forced conversion to Christianity. Researcher Alberto Martinho said the findings "elucidate the Jewish presence" in the region at that time.
Portuguese officials worked on the legislation for 2 years, and in January 2015 Portugal announced the introduction of the final legislation that would grant Portuguese citizenship rights to descendents of those Jewish individuals who were expelled from and persecuted by Portugal over 500 years ago. This means that Sephardic Jews who can prove their relation to Portuguese Jews who were expelled and mistreated by the Portuguese government can apply for dual nationality. Applicants are not required to travel to Portugal, however they will have to produce some sort of evidence that demonstrates a full and traditional connection to ancient Portuguese Jewry, which will then be scrutinized by Portuguese Jewish community institutions and government agencies. The application and review procedure is expected to take anywhere from four to six months. Three months after the passing of the law, in June 2015, 250 applicants were informed by the Portuguese government that they qualify for citizenship rights under the new law. As of October 2015, only 3 of these individuals have actually gone through the process and received their citizenship. The majority of these 250 approved applicants came from Turkey, but 15 applications were also sent from Israel, and an equal number from the United States. These individuals are not required to relocate to Portugal to receive their citizenship status. This noble plan to reconnect Sephardic Jews with their Portuguese roots inspired Israel Foreign Ministry Advisor Ashley Perry to launch the Knesset Caucus for the Reconnection with the Descendants of Spanish and Portuguese Jewish communities in October 2015. As of October 2016, 292 out of 3,838 applications - just 8% - had been approved.
Following the example set by Britain, Spain, Sweden, and France, on December 12 2014 Portugal's Parliament adopted a resolution calling for the government to unilaterally recognize the state of Palestine. The Parliamentary motion proposed "recognising, in coordination with the European Union, the state of Palestine as independent and sovereign". After the vote Portugal's Foreign Minister Rui Machete clarified that the government "will choose the moment best suited" for recognition of a Palestinian state. Similar to the previous recognitions of Palestinian statehood earlier in 2014 from Portugal's European neighbors, this vote is largely symbolic, has no bearing on policy, and is inconsequential.
Hundreds of people including Jews from all around the world attended the rededication ceremony for Portugal's oldest standing synagogue on April 23, 2015. The Sahar Hassamain synagogue is located on Sao Miguel Island, 900 miles from the Portuguese capital of Lisbon, and was rededicated following a restoration project started in 2014. Jose Oulman Carp, the president of the Jewish Community of Lisbon, stated at the dedication ceremony that "the renovation has been completed in a very thorough and professional manner with a lot of help from the United States, and from descendants of the big community of Jews from the Azores archipelago there". The building was restored to function as an Orthodox synagogue, but since there is only one Jewish resident of the Island it will mostly be used as a museum and library specializing in Jewish heritage and literature. Oulman Carp said that he hopes the synagogue restoration encourages Jewish tourism to the area, and encourages local people to explore their Jewish heritage and the Jewish history of their island. The Sahar Hassamain synagogue functioned as a place of worship for more than 50 years at one point, but had fallen into great disrepair.
Thanks to recent legislation granting Portuguese citizenship to descendants of Jews who were expelled during the Inquisition period, the Jewish community in Porto has experienced a renaissance of involvement and interest. The Porto Jewish community was designated by the Portuguese government as one of two institutions tasked with vetting the citizenship applicants, bringing thousands of dollars in income and tourists from all over the globe. Most of the new income has been generated by citizenship application fees, which are required and can cost anywhere from $300-$600.
(c.1450-c.1522) Author of the famous "Almanach Perpetuum" published in Leiria in 1496, with tables which provided the principal base for Portuguese navigation at the end of the 15th century and the beginning of the 16th. He belonged to a family of French origin, which had emigrated to Castille in the 14th century. The expulsion decree of 1492 brought them to Portugal, where his expertise was immediately employed in the preparation of the voyage of Vasco da Gama to India. He made a sterling contribution to the development of navigation and was greatly respected as "Mathematician to the king."
(1432-c.1453) A member of the Negros family (Ibn Yahia), one of the most important and influential in the Jewish community in Portugal. In the reign of King Fernando, his father, Solomon Guedelha, founded a hospital in the Grande Judiaria in Lisbon. Master Guedelha was a rabbi and also doctor and astrologer to both King Duarte and King Afonso V. One of his sons, Abraham Guedelha (1450-1471), also became a chief rabbi and doctor to King Afonso V, which further increased the influence of the family.
(second half of the 15th century) A leading merchant, holder of a number of special prerogatives, he had considerable influence at Court. He played an important role in the history of the kingdom, by loaning huge sums to the Crown, on many occasions he financed royal activities. In 1478, he and Isaac Abravanel lent the sum of 3,384,615 reales to D. Afonso V. Guedelha Palacano was known as a loyal supporter of Prince Henry, having financed a number of overseas expeditions and justly deserved his honors and special treatment at Court.
(second half of the 15th century) One of the principal merchants in the kingdom and a member of one of the most important Jewish families in Portugal. In 1478, along with Guedelha Palacano, he made a hugh loan to King Afonso V. He was greatly respected as a man of learning, a doctor and philosopher.
(second half of the 15th century) Born in Viseu, he was a doctor and astrologer to King Joao II. Colombus and Joao de Barros knew him as Master Jose and he was considered to be one of the most outstanding figures in the scientific context of the great feats of navigation. He translated the "Almanach Perpetuum" by Zacuto into Castillian and Latin and navigated to Guinea to test the regiment of latitudes by meridional observation of the sun.
(16th century) Born in Portugal and given the Christian name of Duarte Pinhel, he fled from the Inquisition and settled in Ferrara about 1543, where he was associated with Yom-Tob Ven Levi Athias (Jerome de Vargas), a New-Christian of Spanish origin who owned a typography. His name is linked to the publication of the "Biblia de Ferrara" (The Ferrara Bible) in 1553. He published other books which included "Menina e Moca" by Bernardim Ribeiro and "Consolaco as Tribulacoes de Israel" ("Consolation for the Tribulations of Israel") by Samuel Usque.
(1502-1578) A great Portuguese mathematician and cosmographer-major, author of "Tratado da Esfera", published in Lisbon in 1537, he was a first generation New-Christian. Born in Alcacer do Sal, he studied philosophy and mathermatics at the University of Lison, where he obtained his degree and became a teacher in 1529.
Antonio Jose da Silva
(1705-1739) Known as "the Jew", he was born in Rio de Janeiro, the son of a wealthy colonial family, and was one of the victims of the Inquisition. One of the great Portuguese playwrites of the 18th century, he wrote operas and satrical plays which were tremendously critical and entertaining, one of the most interesting being "The Jew." Other well-known works include: "Guerras de Alecrim e da Manjerona" and "Vida do grande D. Quixote de la Mancha e do gordo Sancho Panca." He was imprisoned for the first time in 1726 but, after being tortured, was released. He was sent to prison again and condemned to death at the stake in a dramatic auto-de fe which took place in Lisbon on October 18th. 1739
The Algarve is the southernmost region of mainland Portugal. Maritime discoveries in this region in the 15th century attracted many Jewish merchants. Today, visitors from all over the world are drawn to the Algarve by the reputation of its white sandy beaches and golden cliffs.
Located in Southern Portugal, Beja is capital of the region of Alemtejo; one of the seats of the subordinate rabbinates set up under the general control of the *Arraby Moor in the 15th century. When the kingdom of Portugal was established in the 12th century, Jews are said to have been living already in Beja. In the charter (foro) granted to the town in the 13th century, nine clauses deal with the Jews, both resident and transient; most of them speak of established local usage. A tombstone found in the castle of Beja has a fragment of a Hebrew inscription referring to the death of R. Judah. Another tombstone from Beha was found in the 18th century and was brought to Evora in 1868. It is probably from 1378. After the expulsion of the Jews from Portugal in 1496–97, Beja became a center of crypto-Judaism and many natives of the city appeared at autos-da-fé or escaped abroad. In the early years of the 18th century, a physician named Francisco de Sá e Mesquita spitefully denounced persons from Beja – on one occasion 66, on another 92 – who, he said, had come together to observe Jewish rites. The name Beja was common among the Sephardim of the Orient: e.g., Ḥayyim Beja (c. 1810–1870) of Salonika, who subsequently became rabbi of Tyria in Asia Minor; and the scholar-preacher Isaac b. Moses.
This remote and beautiful region of Portugal is rich in the history and traditions of crypto-Jews, who practiced their religion in secret for centuries. The local Serra da Estrela tourism office has prepared an excellent tour of the region's Jewish heritage. It was in towns like Belmonte that Portugal's Jews practiced their religion in secret after the abolition of Judaism in 1496. The village was already famed for being the birthplace of Pedro Alvares Cabral, the first Portuguese captain to sight Brazil in 1500. But, in the 20th century a significant community of cryptic Jews, sometimes called Marranos, emerged. Although they had practiced many of the rituals of Judaism for centuries, they were unaware of their true heritage. Jewish communities around the world came to their aid to help them rediscover their roots, and in 1993 the community welcomed its first rabbi in more that four centuries. In 1996 the synagogue "Beit Eliahu" (Son of Elijah) was inaugurated in the old Jewish quarter. The Jewish cemetery was opened in 2001. Since 2005 the Jewish Museum is also open to the public, which depicts the history of Sephardic presence in Portugal, traditions, customs, which includes a memorial on the inquisition. Amazingly, may of the Jewish families still live in the town's charming Judiaria, called the Bairro de Marrocos.
Other strong Jewish ties may be found at the near by town of Trancoso, where a Lion of Judea relief is still well preserved on the facade of the Casa do Gato Negro, the Medieval Home of wealthy Jewish merchant, and perhaps the local synagogue. The Jewish quarter is well also reserved in this living museum.
CASTELO BRANCO, city in central Portugal, S. of *Covilhã . A Jewish community existed there until the expulsion and forcible conversions of 1496–97. In 1384/85, one Lopo Vasques was granted the rights to all the taxes paid by the Jews of Castelo Branco and the revenues from their contracting activities. In 1393 the same privileges were transferred to the commander of the citadel of Obidos. After 1496–97 Castelo Branco became an important *Marrano center. Some of the most distinguished Portuguese Marranos of the 16th and 17th centuries were born there, among them *Amatus Lusitanus , Elijah Montalto, and Antonio *Ribeiro Sanchez . Amatus Lusitanus left Castelo to study medicine in Salamanca, returned to Portugal to practice medicine, moved to the Low Countries, and finally arrived in Salonica in 1559, where he lived and died as a Jew. The celebrated Portuguese author, Camillo Castello-Branco (1825–1890), was a descendant of the Marranos of Castelo Branco. When in the 1920s the Portuguese Marranos had renewed contacts with Judaism a number of Marranos in Castelo Branco returned to the faith. The local museum contains a stone with a Hebrew inscription from the synagogue of *Belmonte dated 1297.
Castelo de Vide (Alentejo)
Scenic and charming, this small town welcomes the visitor with its white houses clinging to a castle on a hill. By the 14th century a large Jewish community existed here, and fascinating remains document its importance today. The Judiaria ran from the castle gate, down to the village fountain (Fonte da Vila) and on to the Rua Nova (a common name for post-1496 areas of New-Christians). An amazing medieval synagogue stands at the corner of the Rua da Judiaria and Rua da Fonte. Restored to its original appearance, the museum today features the original 14th century stone ark for the Torah, and baths. Many nearby houses have markings or Mezuzot slots on the doors as evidence to their former Jewish owners.
Nearby, the impressive fortress town of Marvão served as an entry point to the thousands of Jews who fled Spain in the 15th and 14th centuries. Alpalhão, today a tiny village has a remarkable Judiaria where the Mezuzots on the doors are next to later crosses, added to demonstrate that the family who lived there had converted to Christianity.
Chaves is a city in N. Portugal, W. of Bragança. A large Jewish community existed there in the Middle Ages noted for its bet midrash, said to have been named Genesim, after the Book of Genesis. The community was granted a charter of privileges in 1434. Before the expulsion of the Jews from Portugal in 1496/97, the community paid the crown an annual tax of 31,000 reis. Subsequently a Marrano community continued to exist in Chaves. When in the 20th century the Marranos in Portugal renewed contact with Judaism, some openly returned to Judaism in Chaves. In 1930 a committee of "New Jews" was established there, with Lieutenant Augusto Nuñes, himself a former Marrano, acting as chairman. With the establishment of the dictatorship in 1932, Jewish missionary activities among the local Marranos decreased.
This monumental city and capital of the Alentejo prospered in the late middle ages. It had been a major Roman city, and a well-defended Moorish center until its capture by the Portuguese in the late 12th century. It was here that one of the largest Jewish communities existed up to the 15th century. The Judiaria had two synagogues, a hospital, a Midrash, baths, and lively commerce. The building that once housed the synagogue and the surrounding Judiaria runs in the historic quarter on the Teresa de Cimanear to the Convento de Mer's. A plaque commemorates the Jewish community, and the Jewish-born of the 16th century humanist, Diogo Pires. The former Place of the Inquisition stands near the city museum, with the coat of arms of the Inquisition clearly visible over the main door.
Dominated by its proud castle, the former royal palace conquered from the Moors in 1135, the city developed at the foot of the hill, bordered by the river Lis and spreading out from the old Rua Dur in keeping with the typical structure of mediaeval towns. The Jewish quarter was to be found in the area now occupied by Rua Dom Afonso Henriques, Rua Dom Dinis and Largo da Se and would have dated back to the 14th century, in the reign of Dom Dinis (1279-1325). It was in this old part of the city, close to the Cathedral (begun in 1550 with an Archeological Museum now attached to it), that one of the first Jewish works in Portugal was published: the "Almanach Perpetuum" by Abraao Zacuto, printed by the equally Jewish Arbaao d'Ortas. Other interesting places to visit are the Igreja da Misericordia, under which the Old Synagogue is thought to lie, the Igraja de Sao Pedro (a 12th century Romanesque church), the Municipal Museum and the 16th-17th century shrine of Nossa Senhora da Encarnacao with its panoramic views.
Portugal's capital owes its name to the legend that it was Ulysses himself who founded the city on a series of hills on the estuary of the river Tejo. Jewish life probably began here not long after the city fell to the Moors in the 8th century. It remained a major port and market up to the time that Portugal's first king, D. Afonso Henriques, seized it in 1147. The Alfama quarter, hugging a slope between the river and the castle is one of the city's oldest areas, and a large Jewish community flourished here in the Middle Ages. Known as the Judiaria Grande, it encompassed the Rua da Judiaria. These narrow streets still evoke the spirit of the generations of Portuguese Jews who lived and flourish here. As the community grew, and more Jewish refugees came to Lisbon, a new Judiaria Pequena formed in the 13th century near what is today the central Praca do Comercio. This entire area was totally destroyed by the 1755 earthquake. The nearby Rossio square, before the earthquake, was the site of the court of the Inquisition. It was here that Jews and other accused heretics were burnt at the stake. Above the square looms the ruined 14th century Carmo church that house the Archaeological Museum. Here, one can view the ancient "Monchique Stone," unearthed in Porto with Hebrew inscriptions. Lisbon's main synagogue is found at number 57 Rua Alexandre Herculano. It was built in the early 20th century as Jews of Portuguese descent returned to Portugal from Gibraltar and North Africa. Called Shaare Tikva, or Gates of Hope.
This walled town, with its narrow streets spreading from the foot of the castle, still preserves all the atmosphere of a 16th century mediaeval town. The Jewish quarter, an area was once inhabited by traders, artists and scientists, was in the centre of the town, close to the Rua Direita and the beautiful 16th century Renaissance church of Santa Maria, where it is possible to appreciate the paintings of Josefa d'Obidos, one of the most important 17th century Portuguese artists. Since it was the property of the queens of Portugal, Obidos always enjoyed special protection from the royal court and at one time had a school of arts and sciences. The effects of all this culture are clearly evident in its artistic heritage, in particular the Manueline palace that was built inside the castle walls (now converted into the Obidos Pousada).
Once a major community of Jewish merchants thrived in this great city of the north. The city's first Jewish area was along the Rua de Santa Ana. In 1386 King D. John I gave the community land near church of Nossa Senhora da Vitûria. The main synagogue stood on the Escadas da Vitûria; a place still locally called "Escadas da Esnoga." A plaque marks the site. Nearby, there is an ancient Jewish cemetery at Passeio das Virtudes. Many Jewish merchants had their offices along the famed Porto riverfront in the Ribeira area along the Rua da Alfandega. Another Jewish community once flourished at the Rua Monte dos Jude's, where in 1826 an important ancient Hebrew plaque was unearthed. Recently, the main synagogue for the Jewish quarter was discovered during renovation to an ancient building. Behind a false wall, workers stumbled on to an ark thought to be from the 15th century. This important discovery is being carefully preserved and researched to learn more about he once sizable Jewish population of Porto. The modern Jewish community worships at the 1929 Mekro Haim, or Fountain of Life Temple, number 340 Rua Guerra Junqueiro.
This monumental city of the Templars is a true jewel. Here, the famed Order of the Knights Templar (followed by the Knights of the Order of Christ) built their headquarters in a massive castle, while a prosperous Jewish community grew in the 14th and 15th centuries in the town below. The Judiaria ran along the Rua Dr. Joaquim Jacinto, and the synagogue survived the centuries to become the Abraham Zacuto Museum. The complex ceiling and elegant columns of the synagogue's worship area give it astounding acoustics. The Museum displays numerous ancient tablets, gravestones, texts, and artifacts from all aspects of Jewish life in old Portugal. Recent excavations have reveled a water heating system and ritual baths. With its Convent of Christ, river parks, and numerous historic monuments Tomar is a wonderful place to learn more about Portugal's history.
This town was the headquarters of the Order of the Knights Templar in Portugal until the 14th century, when the order was extinguished and replaced by the Order of Christ, founded at that same time. The first jewish settlement in the town also took place in the 14th century. The Jewish quarter only occupied one street: the present-day Rua Dr. Joaquim Jacinto. Nonetheless, despite its small size, it was a prosperous community and its influence was to increse greatly in the 15th century, in the period of the Discoveries, when Tomar was already the headquarters of the Order of Christ and its governor was Prince Henry the Navigator.
At #73 on the same street was the synagogue, which remained in use until 1496, the date when the order was given to expelthe Jews from Portugal. Today it houses the Abraao Zacuto Portugueuse-Hebrew Museum. Even today, clay pots are still kept embedded high in the four corners of the chamber of worship, as part of a traditional technique for improving the room's acoustics. In the 20th century, through the efforts of Samuel Schwartz, the synagogue was restored and given to the State, and, since 1921 it has collected not only the local heritage of documents and epigraphs but also tombstones with Hebraic inscriptions from other parts of the country. In 1985, fresh excavation work was undertaken at the synagogue, leading to the discovery of an oven for the heating of water and a wall which gave access to the holy baths designed for purification purposes.
Classified as World Heritage by UNESCO, the Convento de Cristo surrounded by mediaeval walls, with its seven cloisters and emblematic Manueline window is an essential part of any visitor's itinerary. In Tomar, the best way to gain an impression of the three separate moments in the history of Portuguese architecture is to visit the churches of Santa Maria do Olival (Gothic), Sao Joao Baptista (with its Munueline doorway and important 16th century paintings inside the church) and, on the road to the castle, the church of Nossa Senhora da Conceicao (a Renaissance chapel). In the surrounding district, nature lovers will appreciate the great lake created by the dam of Castelo de Bode, with its magnificent views and the chance to enjoy water sports. | <urn:uuid:dc5c74fe-f2cf-492e-91fc-73afa5866b08> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://jewishheritagealliance.com/portugal-history/ | 2020-09-23T02:31:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400209665.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20200923015227-20200923045227-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.970351 | 9,488 |
Good Morning PiPl Friends,
Today marks another milestone, ten days old. After today, we begin to think of chicks as two weeks old, three weeks, old, etc. Thank you to Everyone for your watchful eyes and kind interest!
Yes, Duncan, if the tracks you saw were down by the water, it was our GHB Red Fox. I think it was the Dad (the Mom is much skinnier, from nursing and scavenging food for the kits). He was bringing a rabbit breakfast to the kits.
Sally – such a joy to see when they stretch and try to “flap” their tiny wing buds ❤
The cooler weather this weekend is a tremendous break for the PiPls. Last night I stopped by and people are partying much later on the beach on weeknights than in previous years, surely because of coronavirus and a lack of jobs. I picked up six empty full-sized whiskey bottles, three were in the roped off area, and fifty plus beer cans that had been buried in the sand. That smell of stale beer at 6 in the morning is so Gross!
Thank you Deb for the Monarch sighting report. The milkweed is in full bloom in the dunes–perfect timing for the Monarchs to begin arriving. I have a friend who is so worried she hasn’t seen any in her garden. I’ve been telling her they usually arrive around July 4th, in a normal year. She will be thrilled when I share your sighting.
Thank you PiPl Ambassadors!
Happy July 3rd. | <urn:uuid:fa38b3d6-0b37-492d-91f9-6508a55fe81c> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://kimsmithdesigns.com/2020/07/03/our-little-chick-is-ten-days-old/ | 2020-09-23T03:54:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400209665.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20200923015227-20200923045227-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.977726 | 329 |
MIAMI (AP) — The Miami Marlins’ coronavirus outbreak may just endanger an important League Baseball season, Dr. Anthony Fauci mentioned Tuesday, even if he would no longer imagine video games desires to forestall now.
greater than a dozen Marlins avid gamers and group of workers individuals examined positive for COVID-19, stranding the crew in Philadelphia and elevating anew questions on MLB’s attempts to conduct a season.
Fauci says Marlins' virus outbreak may endanger MLB season
In epidemiology, an endemic is a unexpected raise in occurrences of a disease in a particular time and site. it will impression a small and localized crew or affect upon thousands of people right through a complete continent. four linked circumstances of a uncommon infectious disease can be sufficient to represent an outbreak. Outbreaks embrace epidemics, which period of time is generally absolute best used for infectious illnesses, along with diseases with an environmental starting, reminiscent of a water or foodborne sickness. they will affect a region in a country or a bunch of countries. Pandemics are on the subject of-world illness outbreaks when more than one global locations the world over are contaminated.
”this might put it at risk,” said Fauci, the nation’s high infectious illness professional. ”i do not consider they are looking to stop, however we simply want to look at this and spot what happens with completely different teams on a day-by means of-day foundation.”
Fauci made his remarks on ABC’s ”just right Morning the US.”
Fauci says Marlins' virus outbreak could endanger MLB season
”main League Baseball – the players, the house homeowners, the managers – have put plenty of effort into getting together and putting protocols that we really feel would work,” Fauci mentioned. ”it is extremely unfortunate what happened with the Miami (Marlins).”
Their outbreak endured to disrupt main League Baseball’s time table Tuesday, the sixth day of the pandemic-delayed season, with the Marlins’ home recreation in opposition to Baltimore postponed.
the sport Monday between these groups used to be sometimes called off, as was once the Yankees’ assortment opener Monday at Philadelphia, the position ny would have been in the same clubhouse the Marlins used closing weekend.
nine Marlins gamers on the 30-man roster, two taxi squad gamers and two personnel contributors examined certain, a person accustomed to the positioning instructed The associated Press, speaking on situation of anonymity given that outcomes hadn’t been publicly disclosed.
”naturally, we shouldn’t have any player to get exposed. it can be not a just right thing,” Commissioner Rob Manfred stated on the MLB network. ”alternatively i do not see it as a nightmare. … we predict we are in a position to maintain individuals safe and proceed to play.”
The Orioles, who made a shuttle to Miami with out collaborating in a recreation, are scheduled to host the Marlins in a two-sport assortment beginning Wednesday.
”If the testing outcomes are desirable, the Marlins will resume play in Baltimore on Wednesday in opposition to the Orioles,” Manfred stated.
meanwhile, Chicago White Sox supervisor Rick Renteria it is going to be kept away from his crew after experiencing a ”slight cough and nasal congestion,” common supervisor Rick Hahn mentioned. assessments have been deliberate.
The Marlins’ outbreak was once the talk of baseball, and Washington Nationals supervisor Dave Martinez choked on his phrases as he discussed the placement. Martinez disregarded time ultimate season on account of a heart scenario, and the Nationals are scheduled to play in Miami this weekend.
”i’ll be devoted with you: i’m scared,” Martinez mentioned. ”My stage of problem went from about an eight to a 12. I indicate this factor in fact hits house now. … I bought guys in our clubhouse which might be in reality concerned, as neatly.”
The Marlins positioned infielder Garrett Cooper, outfielder Harold Ramirez and right-hander Jose Urena on the injured document. They claimed right-hander Justin Shafer and left-hander Josh Smith off waivers from Cincinnati, and may probably rely closely on reinforcements from their education camp in Jupiter, Florida.
Manfred stated there are elements that may drive MLB to alter plans.
”a group dropping more than a few avid gamers that rendered it totally non-aggressive is usually a subject that we must handle and have to consider making a change,” he stated. ”whether that used to be shutting down part of the season, all the season, that depends on the eventualities. an identical factor with recognize to league-big. You get to a certain level league-wide the place it does grow to be a well being chance, and we evidently would shut down at that time.”
MLB and the union held talks Monday after components of the protocols were widely omitted throughout the season’s first four days, such as the prohibitions on excessive-fives and completely different bodily celebrations.
The NBA and NHL plan to renew their seasons in bubble environments, with basketball at Lake Buena Vista, Florida, and hockey at Edmonton, Alberta, and Toronto.
”The NBA and the NHL have a bonus: smaller numbers of avid avid gamers, shorter time period,” Manfred mentioned. ”I keep in mind why they did what they did. i’m simply no longer sure it was once viable for us.”
The NFL has opted to no longer create a bubble setting as education camps open for the approaching season.
”It might be that they have got to go in a bubble,” Fauci stated, ”on the other hand i feel they’re conscientious enough and need to protect their avid avid gamers and give protection to the personnel that they will do the proper factor.”

In the midst of the Coronavirus pandemic and a major mask shortage, everyone is finding fabric to make masks and face coverings for themselves, their family, and frontline healthcare workers. However, 13-year-old Warren Richmond-Kalaci found another way to help prevent the spread by using a 3D printer to create face shields for the heroes on the frontlines.
The north Toronto teenager attends Armour Goaltending, a sports school in Toronto. His hockey season had been cut short due to the Coronavirus outbreak. In recent weeks, he has been designing face shields using a 3D printer. “I’ve been making myself pretty busy with this project and I think I’m making the best of it,” Warren told CTV News Toronto.
He begins making the headband for the face shield using Tinkercad, a free, online program that creates 3D models for printing. It takes him 1.5-2.5 hours to make novelty prints. Warren has made over 200 face shields for SickKids Hospital.
But it doesn’t stop there. One of Warren’s coaches and co-owner of Armour Goaltending, Dave Kennedy, discovered the 13-year-old’s work on social media. Kennedy said, “I called him immediately and said ‘Buddy, what is going on here? What are you doing? This is amazing’.”
Kennedy, Warren, and 85 other goaltenders held a video call fundraiser and set up a GoFundMe page. With a goal of $5,000 “Armour For Heroes” has raised well over $6,500. According to Kennedy, $1,500 of the donations went to Warren for his product and Armour For Heroes wrote a check to SickKids for $5,000 dollars. “We realize how powerful we are and what we can do with this, so it was really great,” Kennedy added.

“He would never miss an opportunity to help someone,” Kaydee Richmond, Warren’s mother said. “We’re very proud.”
Kennedy also said, “We can do something special, we can do something all together, and we can make a difference…Warren really proved that.”
Warren’s next goal is to create and provide his face shields for those working in long-term care facilities. “At points, it’s been pretty hard, but after I dropped off the first batch of shields, it’s just all worth it when I saw the expressions on the nurses’ faces,” he said.

I had my 7th golf lesson last night, which, per usual, was humbling for the first 30 minutes or so. But I was able to walk off the instructional tees with a plan and a sense of optimism for the future.
That would have been all well and fine, except that the my range work was so pitiful on the whole, and with my 3-wood in particular, that I was convinced that I need to hit a few more balls to “find” my stroke.
I know better. I should have headed to the parking lot, got in my truck, gone home, reflected on what I’d learned, and checked the calendar for when I might be able to get back to the range. But, unfortunately, Man O’ War Golf lets you hit unlimited range balls on the day of a lesson, in theory, to let you work on what new knowledge you might have acquired during your session.
Despite my relatively disciplined, almost methodical approach to improving my golf swing so far this year, like Pavlov’s dog, today I took the bait. I reverted back to my old habit of hitting balls until my hands literally bled.
I know I’m in the middle of a long process, but it didn’t matter after my lesson. I know that flailing away with a driver or 3-wood when I’m already tired will most likely lead to bad habits and out-of-position compensations in a desperate attempt to make the ball do what I want it to do.
Damn it, if the secret really is in the dirt, I was going to hit golf balls until I found it tonight! The first 50 or so post-lesson balls were fine. Thereafter, the results were predictably “mixed.” At least at the conclusion of my first extra bucket of balls I took some time to work on chipping and pitching at the practice green complex adjacent to my tee station.
Now, thanks to my dogged stubbornness, I won’t be able to properly grip a club for several days.
So what, if anything, did I learn from this minor meltdown? One, not to wait so long between golf lessons, or at least a tune-up with a professional. Two, I re-learned how not to practice. Banging away at ball after ball without any plan or objective isn’t productive for me. And three, when my fingers start to hurt and I feel like I might develop a blister, it’s time to stop because I’ve already been practicing too long.
I hope you, Dear Readers, can take something instructional from the fact that what you just read was typed with just a left hand. | <urn:uuid:bf9dc189-212e-4098-9e52-93773a66bbcd> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://onebeardedgolfer.com/2014/06/03/how-not-to-practice/ | 2020-09-23T02:31:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400209665.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20200923015227-20200923045227-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.969213 | 569 |
I tucked my kids to bed a few minutes ago.
Two of them had an argument because one said something hurtful towards another.
The easiest thing to do is to tell one to ask for forgiveness and for the other one to acknowledge and forgive. Then life moves on.
I’ve done that so many times.
But tonight, we tried to get to the heart of the behavior.
Proverbs 4:23 (NLT) says, “Guard your heart above all else for it determines the course of your life.”
It is the heart that drives behavior.
I asked both, “When you are mean towards one another, what is really going on? What is the heart of the issue?”
I asked that question because when one is hurt, s/he will try to retaliate to make the other feel his/her hurt.
We talked about the root of the behavior. It really is PRIDE.
“Because I got hurt, I will try to make you feel my pain by hurting you back.”
We don’t articulate this, but in effect, it is what we actually end up doing.
2 QUICK THOUGHTS:
1. As parents, it is good to not just ‘fix the problem’ and then move on. Telling them to go to their room is probably the simplest way to do it. But it doesn’t solve the heart issue. It actually worsens if unresolved.
2. Unfortunately, this type of thing doesn’t just happen to kids. It happens to adults as well… all the time. We retaliate when we get hurt.
Hurt people hurt people. But free people free people.
Lord, teach us to see the folly of our behavior and go beyond the surface to check out the heart issue. When we see the real issue, that’s when we can go to you and ask for grace to overcome. In and of ourselves, it is virtually and absolutely impossible. Yet your grace is more than sufficient. | <urn:uuid:37426ce3-94ed-4e7f-b09f-e4dcea26da95> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://paolopunzalan.com/2011/11/14/getting-to-the-heart-issue/ | 2020-09-23T02:51:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400209665.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20200923015227-20200923045227-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.955142 | 427 |

I am a fan of Oliver Sacks, and will read just about anything he has written - though, interestingly enough, I find myself so far unable to make my way through Migraine. Perhaps this has something to do with the cover illustration of a mosaic aura, which twice induced an aura (scintillating fortification) and subsequent migraine in me. If you are not a migraine sufferer, you might find this slide show of migraine art interesting, for it does depict the migraineur's experience at the onset of aura. Migraineurs, be warned: viewing the paintings in the slideshow could possibly be triggering for a migraine. Regular botox injections (every three months) have more or less eliminated my auras, if not my migraines though, alas, it appears that viewing the slideshow was still able to induce the headache if not the aura that precedes it.
Well, I find I have thoroughly digressed myself right in the very first sentence of this post, for what I meant to write about is another Oliver Sacks book entirely, and then not even exactly about the book.
A few weeks ago while visiting a friend in DC I happily spent some time in Politics & Prose, a very fine bookstore. Do visit when you are in DC. There I picked up a copy of sweet little book by Sacks, "Oaxaca Journal", which is essentially a fancied up version of a journal he kept during a ten day ferning expedition with the New York chapter of the American Fern Society. Ask your friends to read your journal from your ten day ferning expedition and you will likely be met with large yawns, but Oliver Sacks gets a book contract. It was a fast read, a lot of fun and, as usual with Sacks, I was entertained, educated, and was constantly astounded at the depth and breadth of the man's learning.
But here's the part of the book I want to share with you, for the purposes of this blog, because it got me thinking about a blog post I wrote years ago on the production of genius.
At one point during their trip, Sacks and his companions visit of Don Isaac Vásquez,
...a master weaver whose carpets and blankets, and use of natural dyes, have become famous outside Mexico. He lives and works with his extended family...The children will be trained in weaving and dyeing from an early age. They will be surrounded by it, imbibe it, consciously or unconsciously, every minute of their lives. Their skills, their identities, will be shaped from the start, and not just by the family tradition but by the whole village, the local traditon, in which they grow up.
This is how you make a master weaver. Or one way, anyway. My point, however, is that the magnificent carpets and blankets of the Vásquez family are the production of years of specific training and expectation that people will grow up to participate in and be good at various aspects of the whole process involved in generating these goods.
So, how do you make a master scientist or engineer, then? Years ago, when I first started blogging, a commenter (okay, he was my brother) opined that "greatness is streaky, rare, and fairly unpredictable". This, I thought, was bullshit. I referred my readers to Linda Nochlin:
...the Great Artist is conceived of as one who has genius; genius, in turn, is thought to be an atemporal and mysterious power somehow embedded in the person of the Great Artist...It is no accident that the whole crucial question of the conditions generally productive of great art has so rarely been investigated, or that attempts to investigate such general problems have, until fairly recently, been dismissed as unscholarly, too broad, or the province of some other discipline like sociology. (from "Why Are There No Great Women Artists?" in Woman in Sexist Society ed. V. Gornick & B. K. Moran 1971)
And then I said
The way that [my brother] describes the appearance of "greatness" in science - streaky, rare, unpredictable - would seem to agree with this notion of genius as atemporal, a mysterious power that we cannot control or generate. It is this pernicious belief that, carried to its extreme, leads individuals like Lawrence Summers to shake his head sadly and proclaim that women are just mathematically inferior to men.
I contend that we do, indeed, have the ability to identify, nurture, and develop promising young individuals into great contributors in science and engineering. Out of this general program of development and nurturing will appear some truly outstanding individuals. We've been doing this for decades already. Unfortunately, we've only been doing it mostly for white men, mostly for middle- to upper-class individuals. The results, however, have been spectacular for the members of that tiny elite. U. S. science and engineering programs have yielded amazing individuals and amazing results.
[My brother] claims that we are "as likely to get a few really great guys as a few really great gals over a span of a decade or so. Greatness is just that unpredictable." Sadly, this is not the case. Greatness, at least as defined in the U. S. scientific establishment, has been so darn predictable for decades that it's disgusting. Look at the annual elections to the National Academy of Sciences or National Academy of Engineering. White men, white men, white men, all mentored and promoted and rewarded by each other in a cozy, clubby, old-boys network. I'm telling you, the system works, they have figured out how to take the raw talent and produce skilled researchers. It's just that they only do it for the ones who look most like themselves.
We could do better, if we wanted to. I know there's a lot of noise being made about how to more effectively market careers in science and engineering to members of underrepresented groups but I really don't think marketing is solution. There has to be in place an entire culture of expectation that everyone really can do these types of things, and do them well, and moreover, everyone is expected to. Marketing may be a part of that culture but marketing alone will not get the job done as long as large segments of our population continue to believe that white skin and dangly appendages make the brain magically more mathematically gifted.

I hate it, but I luv it.
I gave up on art in part because of the impression I had talent but no genius.
Despite coming to a similar conclusion about my abilities in science, I refuse to give up on it. Doing 'good' science (in the sense of contributing to the enterprise of scientific progress) doesn't require the rare lightening strike of profound genius.
But it does require some confluence of skill, practice, and a sufficiently conducive environment- including being part of a society that can actually recognize your contributions.
(aside to jc- I love that song)
This post is so excellent I want to frame it.
Lately I've been paying attention to the childhoods of great minds throughout history. Both Mozart and Beethoven grew up in musically accomplished households, and were pushed to excel at music and composing from an early age. Jane Austin, from what I've read on Wikipedia, appears to have grown up in a literary-focused family, and was also encouraged to write by her father. I read in a biography on Marie Curie that she was also encouraged, even pushed, to learn physics and math by her scientist father. Richard Feynman, while his father wasn't a physicist, was nevertheless encouraged in his study of physics and engineering, and was allowed to take apart electronics for fun as a child. (Richard's sister also went on to be a physicist, but wasn't encouraged so much by her father as by Richard, according to his accounts.)
This topic also brings up the idea of how early children should pick a specialization. In the UK, Italy, and Germany I think students pick a specialization much earlier than in the US, around middle school there as opposed to early to midway through undergrad here. I'm not too sure, but it would be interesting to look at and compare age of specializing to outcomes.
Gotta comment on the aura art.
I get migraines, but I've never experienced a visual aura. When I've got a migraine developing, I experience something that I don't know how to describe - other than the fact that it's the precursor to a migraine. I've never noticed anything visual about it.
But looking at that slideshow? Bang - Set off the pre-migraine sensation. Frankly, I find it extremely frightening and upsetting that looking at pictures was able to do that.
My understanding of migraines is that they are the neurogenic triggering of ischemic preconditioning. They comprise the brain switching itself into an emergency âsurvival modeâ. When that happens in the visual cortex, the ability to see is extinguished as the front of spreading depression (called because neural activity is depressed and that depression propagates in a wave that can be observed) passes through those nerves that support vision. The research that first connected this was by someone who suffered from migraines with visual aura and was able to calculate that the disturbance propagated at ~3 mm/min as his visual field was affected.
What triggers ischemic preconditioning is low NO usually brought on by superoxide due to hypoxia, but superoxide from any kind of inflammation can cause it too. I suspect a high NO level would work as a preventative of migraine to some extent.
I have never had a migraine. What I find very interesting about those pictures is the gradients and their discontinuities and what that probably indicates about the data processing being done in the brain regions that are being influenced.
I don't buy this "genius" bullshit, either. What it takes to be genuinely creative is (1) a fuckton of practice--ten years of all-day effort at a minimum, (2) being prolific--trying a fuckton of different shit, and (3) persistence--not giving up in the face of repeated failure. The "spark of genius" doesn't exist.
Some brilliantly distilled truth here, including the comments. The only other thing I can think of about nurturing talent is that it probably helps to get the nurturing in early, so (in a handwaving way) the skill can become ingrained and natural like a native language. (That's not to say adults can't become great at something new - it just takes more time.)
CCP, sadly, and more often than you might suspect, tragically, the "spark of genius" does indeed exist. It can be a huge obstacle to success. Many innate geniuses are drawn to their area of natural talent, and they achieve the first levels of capability without effort. This does not serve them in good stead when they hit the point where they actually have to start working to get better, especially if their work is already at a level considered to be that of a competent professional.
Freshman orientation is about to begin at UC Berkeley, Stanford, Yale, etc., and there's going to be a wasteland of trauma come October when the collective "smartest kid in the class" suddenly discovers they're in the bottom percentile. For the first time. Ever. And they have no clue how to cope. It's a real problem that is frequently dismissed.
The corollary is there is nothing more aggravating than a lazy natural talent. I've worked with plenty, and now without hesitation if the choice is between a motivated person of average skill and a lazy genius, I'll pick the motivated person every single time. The outcome is always better.
Just a quick note to Mark to say I'm sorry about the migraine inducement! That's really awful (even as it is interesting to me in a geeky fascination-with-how-the-brain-works sort of way...).
usagi, you are correct, that very often a motivated person of average skill will be more productive than a lazy genius. That mostly depends on what type of task is required. How many motivated people of average skill would it take to replicate the work of Picasso? Or Mozart? Or Feynman?
You are absolutely right that many people going to schools like UC Berkeley, Stanford, Yale, etc will be surprised to find themselves in the lower half. People with genuine genius level creativity never do. The individual with genuine genius level creativity may not excell at the metrics the majority use to catagorize everyone, but that is the exact point of genius level creativity.
Talent hits a target no one else can hit; Genius hits a target no one else can see.
The degree of difficulty isnât in getting the right answer, it is in asking the right question. Unfortunately the way that science is done success at answering the right question depends on other people understanding that it is the right question before it is answered. When motivated average people canât do that, then even a motivated genius canât be successful.
"I don't buy this "genius" bullshit, either. What it takes to be genuinely creative is (1) a fuckton of practice--ten years of all-day effort at a minimum, (2) being prolific--trying a fuckton of different shit, and (3) persistence--not giving up in the face of repeated failure. The "spark of genius" doesn't exist."
But a person who has a spark of genius and knows it even though by definition others will not realize it, (genius and talent/intelligence not being the same thing), will be motivated to do 1,2 and 3.
The idea of "innate genius" has a nasty flip side. If genius is effortless...having to work at something is prima facie evidence that you don't have it.
(And if you don't have it, you shouldn't bother to try. You'll never be good enough. Yes, I fell for this one as an undergrad, and nearly quit science because of it.)
However, in a perverse way, the parade of "genius" old white dudes gives me hope. If genius really mattered so darn much, there would be a huge competitive advantage to any organization willing to find it in less traditional bodies. The old boys' club would be driven out of business. In some domains, particularly in sports, that's already happened. But science isn't there yet. It seems to make do with the people it gets - people who are willing to work hard, develop their skills, and make stuff happen, but aren't necessarily geniuses. People like me, in other words...except they're old white dudes, but this can be dealt with.
I remember asking my mother once, when I was a kid, in a very worried tone, why there were no famous female musicians. We'd been studying the whole Bach/Handel/Mozart lot at school and I remember asking my mum "Are woman just not good at music then?"
She answered, "Lots of little girls probably wanted to write music, just nobody listened to them."
Best answer for a confused and worried little girl ever. :D
It made such a difference in science when I leant about Marie Curie, and Rosalind Franklin as well. it just showed me that is *was* possible, for woman to do these things, they just previously hadn't been allowed to.
"If genius is effortless...having to work at something is prima facie evidence that you don't have it."
You don't need to work at the genius part, it's not the same thing as acquiring skills or knowledge.
Either you have it or you don't. Sorry;)
Isabel, what do you mean by genius? Many people would use the word genius to describe, say, Mozart, who worked very hard at music. So he was clearly not what you mean by genius. Do you use the word "genius" to refer to this abstract effortless success? This is not what Zuska was writing about, I think.
What I mean by genius is a degree of ability that cannot be attained by hard work. These are typified by what are called âsavantâ abilities and are not uncommon in people on the autism spectrum. In the case of Mozart, yes, he did work hard, but for virtually all people, attaining the level of skill in music that Mozart had is impossible no matter how much or how hard they work.
For example, some people can âplay by earâ. That is they can hear a piece of music and then play it. That is not something that I can do, and I think that no matter how much I worked, or how hard I tried I would never be able to do it. I have a friend that can play by ear, but considers herself to be not that great a musician (because she doesnât practice). She has a friend who canât play by ear but is a âbetterâ musician (i.e. has greater technical skill at playing music) because he does practice a lot.
I think that âplaying by earâ is an innate ability. You need to learn how to play an instrument to be able to play by ear, but playing by ear is not something that can be learned or taught.
I think that scientific creativity is also an innate ability that people have to different degrees. You need to learn how to do science in order to be highly creative at doing it, just as you need to learn how to make music to be highly creative at making music. Just as some people can play music by ear, some people can do science by ear. Some people cannot do science by ear. If you can't do science by ear, then it is difficult to recognize that ability in someone else. You might be only able to recognize "science" by the finished products, articles in peer review journals. That would be like only recognizing musicians by concert ticket sales. If concert halls wouldnât book acts by certain performers, that doesnât make them non-musicians.
"Do you use the word "genius" to refer to this abstract effortless success?"
No, and I am actually pointing out that this whole idea of effortlessness is a false and misleading way to look at it. As is simply looking at it as talent or skill. I was looking at it as the spark that drives all the work, despite failure, criticism, etc.
What is genius? I think it is innate, an ability to see beyond, to make connections, insights others may be incapable of, but it needs something to work with.
It strikes me that that is such a non-specific description as to be almost useless. Like "math ability". What, exactly, is that, and how would you measure it? There is no such critter as "math ability" despite what the folks who pretend to talk about it and faux measure it would have you believe.
What is the ability to "see beyond"? To "make connections"? How do you know someone has it? What conditions produce it? More to the point, what conditions work to stamp out any possible spark of it in children by the time they've reached their teens?
Also: most people who do really great work in science are not geniuses, not in the colloquial sense of what we think of when we think someone is a genius. They are people who've had access to good schools and books, encouragement, training, mentoring, facilities, collaborators, equipment. They exhibit persistence, and have had a measure of luck. We could produce more of them, of more diverse skin tones and ethnic backgrounds, if we would so choose to.
I'm saying both elements are needed, innate and environmental. I don't think you can make a genius, nor do I think they are born to exhibit genius effortlessly.
Equal opportunity would of course create a wider range of geniuses.
But I still think highly talented and highly intelligent people do not equal geniuses, that it takes something more. And of course none of that would go anywhere w/o luck (especially good timing) and opportunity. The old Shakespeare's sister argument....
@daedalus2u: Just as an FYI, you can be taught to play by ear. I was :-)
Late on this thread, but that initial digression made me laugh ruefully. My partner is a (fortunately occasional) migraine sufferer and also could not read that book, which I thought - having read some Sacks before - would be both an interesting and entertaining present.
Well, I found it fascinating, so it certainly wasn't a waste. But I had to restrain myself from saying "Wow! Do you really see things that look like THAT?" and showing the pictures. Reading the descriptions aloud turned out to be safe. | <urn:uuid:b7154401-ae08-46cb-b595-3bd2b3bc6235> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://scienceblogs.com/thusspakezuska/2009/08/15/thinking-again-about-the-produ | 2020-09-23T04:33:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400209665.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20200923015227-20200923045227-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.975709 | 4,366 |

We welcome Joy Richards to The Displaced Nation as a guest blogger. Though she lives and works in the town of Harrogate in North Yorkshire, UK, Richards seizes the opportunity to travel whenever she can. In May, she journeyed to Fez, Morocco, to visit an English friend who lives in that city. It was her first foray into North Africa and her first time in an Arab country. Richards found herself thinking deeply about one of the topics raised in our blog this month: the challenge of bridging two cultures that have developed separately over thousands of years and therefore do not share the same basic beliefs and values.
My trip to Morocco was full of uncertainties. I was traveling with two friends I had worked with in the past but had very little contact with in the last three years. God bless Facebook for bringing us together again — but I was unsure how holidaying together would work.
We were staying with another ex-work colleague who lives as a single parent with her little girl in the ancient medina (walled city) of Fez. She has lived here for about three years earning an income by arranging tours for visitors to experience the food of Fez. I knew nothing about her home and again had not had any regular contact in three years.
But most worrying of all, we were traveling not long after the major events of the Arab Spring and only a few weeks after the suicide bomb in the main square of the Moroccan city of Marrakesh. Would our short time together be safe and enjoyable?
As the plane landed in Morocco, I immediately noticed the sun was unlike the British sun. It had “photo-shopped” the scenery around me to the maximum color intensity, contrast and brightness.
The black glove treatment
Screwing up my eyes in the late afternoon light, I walked into the small and crowded airport and began queuing for immigration. Ability to queue is clearly a skill shared by Brits and Moroccans.
By the time I got to the baggage area, I could see that that the Moroccan women from our flight were all more covered than when they had left England. (My female friend and I had taken advice from our host in Fez and had traveled in trousers and loose tops with sleeves.)
One lady was totally covered — including her hands, which were in black gloves. As she chatted to her small son in Arabic and he replied in English, with a slight northern accent, it was not the veil or the long black gown that looked strange to me, but the gloves.
Black gloves on a hot May afternoon in an airport in Morocco — and yet I’m old enough to remember summer gloves. Lacy or nylon with a frill, they were worn for church and weddings, even for parties. Polite British gloves worn by polite, fashion-conscious British women in the 1950s and 1960s.
But soon my travel companions and I would be slipping back in time much further than the 50s or 60s, as our taxi dropped us at the entrance to the world’s most intact Islamic medieval city, the Fez medina.
The winding mysteries of the medina
Our friend and her little girl, Francesca, met our little threesome at the gate. We plunged head on into narrow, crowded alleyways full of donkeys, skinny cats, open fronted shops, chickens, vegetables… There were children playing, men selling — and so many smells.
Fez’s medina is said to be the world’s largest contiguous car-free area, and no wonder. Cars couldn’t have squeezed through even if allowed.
I was excited, confused, aware of being female and English and of not knowing this place.
I had read my guidebook, which warned of unwanted and persistent attention from shopkeepers and “faux guides,” and walked on purposefully, not making eye contact with any of the locals. I determinedly ignored every greeting whether in Arabic, French or (occasionally) in English.
My friend and her daughter had clearly not read the same guidebook as they stopped and chatted to several men on the way to their house.
As we turned up a narrow, dusty alley which was to take us to my friend’s house, there was another greeting shouted by a man on the street: “Welcome to Fez.” And then: “Welcome to Fez, family of Francesca.”
I turned, smiled and said hello. Suddenly it had dawned on me that intense, close living in this way required constant greeting. Relationships must be established and confirmed for everyone to feel safe and comfortable.
My friend’s home, at the end of a dark alley, was deceptively unappealing. Inside, it turned out to be a beautiful traditional house decorated with carved wood and traditional Moroccan tiles. That evening, we talked and ate and drank wine as friends do.
Our hostess had bought the wine in one of the large modern supermarkets in the Ville Nouvelle — the modern and rapidly developing part of Fez that has spread out around the Medina.
Alcohol is not illegal in the Medina but is disapproved of. Or, to put it in the Moroccan Arabic dialect (Dirja), alcohol is hshuma (pronounced h’shoo-mah). A very useful phrase, it’s equivalent to a very loud British “Tch, tut, tut” (or the American tsk-tsk) — but, unlike our expressions, hshuma carries the further connotation of being shamed by one’s peers. It’s used when someone has been drinking, smoking, hanging out at a café (women, mainly in small towns), wearing shorts (men or women), dancing with the opposite sex, or engaging in other forbidden acts.
My friend had been heard “clinking” as she tried to get a taxi back to the medina and was evicted from the cab as she had alcohol with her — hshuma.
I work as a psychotherapist and much of my work includes challenging personal shame and its destructive effects, but here in this intense and exotic environment the social control of hshuma in some ways made sense, as a way of navigating the social structure.
Thank goodness for my mum and her directives
The following day my friends and I set out into the Medina, shoulders and legs covered so as not to offend and not to attract unwanted attention.
As foreigners we would not be expected to wear the djellaba (traditional long, hooded outer robe) and headscarf of the local women. Nevertheless, we were expected to be discreet. Skimpy clothes would be hshuma.
My mother brought me up with a good understanding of what was “common” as well as a clear directive that I was not to be “common.” The list of “common” characteristics and behaviours could fill several pages but included: dyed hair, bright lipstick, exposed cleavage, short skirts, a “lot of thigh,” swearing, smoking in public, bare shoulders (unless at the seaside or a dinner dance).
Any woman being common is this way was “no better than she ought to be” and would probably “get into trouble” (some sort of sexual misadventure).
So, stepping out into the medina, I was able to apply my mother’s rule about not looking “common” so as not to be socially ostracized.
A throwback or a step forward?
I wrestled with trying to decide if I minded applying these guidelines to myself in this traditional, Muslim city. Was I being respected or controlled?
I have been, in my youth, a dedicated follower of fashion and have worn mini-skirts, hot pants and many other items of clothing that exposed my body to the casual view of all.
Even now, as a woman of a certain age, I know that I can attract male attention with a bit of cleavage. That is, of course, my choice — but what is the message the Western media delivers to women of all ages? We must be young, slim and, above all, sexy. Boobs, booty and thighs…get them displayed.
So what was the message in the Fez medina? Women’s bodies are private, respected, not to be displayed.
I don’t like being told what to wear, but I realized that I — and I can only speak for myself — felt more comfortable and relaxed with less of my flesh exposed.
As a Western woman, I am glad that I am free to be divorced (as I am) and to have a career (as I do). But does that mean I want my granddaughters to be free to put their bodies on display when they are pubescent, as so many British girls do?
As I hear the call to prayer echoing over the medina, I am being prompted to challenge my assumptions about, my expectations of, this society.
I am an outsider, and as a non-Muslim I can only peer through the entrances into any of the mosques in the city, catching glimpses of beauty and faith, unquestioning perhaps — Inshallah (as God wills it).
My will, society’s will, God’s will — that requires a lot of untangling.

Austria’s government will use the Ethereum public blockchain to issue 1.15 billion euros ($1.35 billion) worth of government bonds in an auction next week, according to local news outlet Kleine Zeitung.
Oesterreichische Kontrollbank (OeKB), one of Austria’s biggest banks with $26 billion in assets in 2017, will operate the live blockchain notarization service, Cointelegraph notes. During the auction, scheduled for Oct. 2, the bank will issue the bonds on behalf of the Austrian Treasury.
OeKB says this will be the the first time a blockchain-based notarization service will be used as part of a federal bond auction in Austria.

When the Amanda Steele x ColourPop collection launched a couple weeks ago, you might have noticed that the trendy brand's biggest launch yet made its low-key debut. The ColourPop Pressed Powders first made an appearance in the Weekend Warrior Palette, but they are officially launching in just a couple days. This time, there will be 20 different individual shades to choose from. As longtime fans of their Super Shock Shadows and their creamy, almost bouncy formula, we can't help but be pumped about the pressed powders.
More eye makeup you'll love:

- We Put Stila's Shimmery New Shadow to the Ultimate Test
- Smashbox's New Primers Will Transform Your Favorite Shadows
The Pressed Powders are exactly what they sound like—powdered eye-shadow pigment packed into a metal pan. Unlike their other products, these won't come in the Los Angeles-based company's signature white plastic jars. Instead, the shadows will be sold as single pans that come in a sleeve for $5 each. This way, you can pop them into your favorite refillable or magnetic palettes. (We loves Tarte's.) If you don't already have one, you can get a free one when you buy four shades. The empty palette itself will be limited edition, with the designs changing every so often. For $20, that's a pretty damn good deal. Two premade palettes will launch, too. They will feature four on-trend shades for $18.
Here's what the shades will look like—packaging and all.
And here's a peek at the palettes.
We haven't tried out the Pressed Powders yet, but ColourPop promises that they will be supersoft and highly pigmented (a.k.a. everything you could ever want in an eye shadow). A couple things are for sure, the ColourPop Pressed Powders will be vegan (yay) and will be available on colourpop.com this Friday, January 13.
Now, watch the complete evolution of eye shadow in just a couple minutes: | <urn:uuid:0436c46a-3c83-48fe-82f4-0f5819ae9523> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.allure.com/story/colourpop-pressed-powders?mbid_relatedlink | 2020-09-23T04:40:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400209665.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20200923015227-20200923045227-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.932701 | 451 |

Schuessler Tissue Salts Calcium Absorption Review – 4 Essential Things to Know
Schuessler Tissue Salts Calcium Absorption is a dietary supplement aimed to help with calcium deficiency and maximize calcium absorption. This formula was developed by Martin & Pleasance, an Australian manufacturer. They have been in the supplement business for more than a century and mostly produce homeopathic products.
According to the manufacturer, this formula can help maximize calcium absorption and prevent calcium deficiency. This method is said to address people of all ages, being suitable even for infants. Schuessler Tissue Salts Calcium Absorption is a homeopathic formula.
1) Details on Schuessler Tissue Salts Calcium Absorption Ingredients and Uses
Schuessler Tissue Salts Calcium Absorption includes the following ingredients: Calcium Fluoride, Calcium Phosphate, Sodium Phosphate, Silicon Dioxide, and Lactose.
2) Does Schuessler Tissue Salts Calcium Absorption Work?
Schuessler Tissue Salts Calcium Absorption is homeopathic supplement designed to help with calcium deficiency. It is a very dilute formula. It is claimed to contain equal amounts (3C dilution) of each of the ingredients listed above. This means only one part of other 1 million parts of a substance contains molecules of the original dissolved substance.
A homeopathy is a form of alternative medicine. Homeopaths believe in the prevention of a disease and not in its cure. They think that an extremely low amount of a substance that would normally produce symptoms similar to those of a particular disease can be used in its treatment. In their view, by stimulating the immune system to act against this artificial disturbance in the body, the disease with similar symptoms should be treated. However, no scientific evidence supports their beliefs. Moreover, most doctors and researchers consider homeopathy to be quackery.
It is highly unlikely that this particular formula should have any effect on the body above placebo. It is simply too dilute to be potent. These pills are made from an inert substance such as Silica or Lactose upon which a drop of the homeopathic formulation is placed.
The manufacturer recommends chewing four tablets of Schuessler Tissue Salts Calcium Absorption as a maintenance dose. However, for acute conditions, one should take a pill every half an hour up to 6 doses per day.
3) Schuessler Tissue Salts Calcium Absorption Price
Schuessler Tissue Salts Calcium Absorption is sold by 125 tablets and is relatively inexpensive.
This product can be acquired from numerous sources, online or offline. The manufacturer sells this product directly via their website. You may be offered discounts or money-back guarantees by some retailers.
4) Our Verdict on Schuessler Tissue Salts Calcium Absorption
One must understand that dietary supplements are not required to pass any efficacy tests before hitting the market. In other words, manufacturers can freely sell water or any other inefficacious product as long as they do not claim it will cure a particular disease. You may have noticed how some manufacturers use vague descriptions for their products.
The efficacy of Schuessler Tissue Salts Calcium Absorption is not supported by any scientific evidence or testimonials. Supplementation with this formula should be safe considering it mostly contains silica and lactose.Although making lifestyle changes can be hard, they don't have to be if you consider a supplement that's created with superior ingredients.
HCF® Happy, Calm & Focused offers a unique FQ formula that includes the highest quality ingredients shown to support focus and mood. Want a powerful supplement for focus and clarity - you got it. And, that's just the start.
