The Pilgrims Society: A Special Relationship Between Great Britain and the United States
One hundred and ten years ago, on the eve of his coronation, Edward VII had appendicitis. The coronation was postponed for six weeks. In those days, ocean travel was the only transportation link between Great Britain and its former colony. Many Americans were in London for the coronation—an event that they had never seen since Queen Victoria’s reign had lasted 64 years—so during this unplanned interval, they had lunches, and dinners, and dinners and lunches—and at one of them, on the very eve of the Royal event, a hundred Englishmen and Americans who saw in the greater alliance of their two countries the possibilities of a better world, forged the structure of the Pilgrims Society, an organization to exist separately in London and New York with the mutual purpose of “promoting the brotherhood among nations especially the United States and the British Empire.” In its illustrious history, Presidents, Prime Ministers, and Reigning Sovereigns have praised the Pilgrims Society’s role as an advocate of the Special Relationship between Britain and America.
Of course, the steel that binds us is our common language which the British speak brilliantly and which we carry on. I had an early opportunity to learn the devastating advantage Shakespeare gave his countrymen.
At college, I was a participant in the debate between American universities and Oxford. We were given two topics to discuss. One was: Columbus Went Too Far. We chose the alternative which was: Resolved, The World Would Be Better Off Had Not the Thirteen Colonies Broken Away From the British Empire—an honest subject worthy of discussion. In American debaters’ style, I listed my arguments and left it to my peroration to put an unanswerable conclusion. I said something like: ‘As Thomas Jefferson said, the tree of liberty is watered by the blood of patriots. And the tree of liberty which America planted and has nurtured so carefully has seen its seeds distributed about the world. The harvest of freedom is our own.’ The Oxford representative looked at me with some concern and then replied: “Having listened to Mr. vanden Heuvel’s extraordinary agricultural experiments…” We won the debate but they won the audience.
In this essay, I will describe my favorite Pilgrim subject—the Special Relationship between Great Britain and the United States which was very much the creation of Winston Churchill and Franklin Delano Roosevelt. In 1939, Roosevelt’s instinct was that Churchill was the only leader who could save Britain from Nazi conquest. It is impossible to imagine a Special Relationship in the context of Neville Chamberlain and Franklin Roosevelt, or obversely, Winston Churchill and John Nance Garner. It took the immense personalities of Winston Churchill and Franklin Roosevelt—and more, the shared understanding of the forces threatening their world that caused this historic relationship to be born. In May 1940, Churchill became Prime Minister. The collapse of France galvanized the situation and forced millions of Americans to understand that England, standing alone, was on the brink of disaster.
There is perhaps no other instance in history, as Stalin said at Yalta about Churchill, when the future of the world depended on the courage of one man.
Also, in 1940, Franklin Delano Roosevelt was elected to an unprecedented third term as President of the United States. Although more than a year would pass before Pearl Harbor brought us into the war, Roosevelt engineered America’s response to Britain’s danger by sending 50 destroyers which were critical to England’s survival. He proposed Lend Lease—acknowledging Britain’s near bankruptcy—and Churchill described it as the most generous act in history. They met in the waters off Newfoundland and declared the Atlantic Charter, a document based on the Four Freedoms which the President had enunciated in his historic speech to Congress on January 6, 1941, where he made clear that the terrible cost of the war which he knew would engulf America could only be justified if a new and better world would emerge, a world based on four core values of democracy: freedom of speech and expression, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear. All this in support of Britain—and America was not yet in the war and significant domestic forces opposed Roosevelt at every step.
The cost of World War II is almost beyond belief. More than 67 million people were killed; more than 80 percent of those casualties were civilian. Cities, towns, and countries were ravaged and destroyed. The Holocaust became one of the darkest pages in history. Nations were bankrupted as the remorseless cost of war absorbed their wealth and their treasures.
The Special Relationship was a legacy of World War II. As we review it today we can see that there are at least three essential requirements for it to exist and to prosper. First, there must be significant personalities, leaders of character and integrity in both countries, who share a great purpose and a clear vision of the world that they will influence. Winston Churchill and Franklin Roosevelt were such personalities. Second, these leaders must have political power built on a strong, popular base; and, third, they must have a clear understanding of their own national interests which they believe will be protected and enhanced by their partnership.
The Special Relationship has had some difficult days. President Eisenhower during the Suez crisis in 1956 made very clear that the Special Relationship would only be sustained if the United States regarded any policy to be pursued to be in the American interest—and only the United States would define that interest.
The war in Vietnam strained the relationship. Prime Minister Harold Wilson refused to send British troops to a battlefield of a conflict he believed was against both British and American interests. President Johnson treated Wilson with disdain and anger. The Prime Minister was not intimidated.
The Special Relationship was born again in the ideological affinity and personal chemistry of Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan. It survived despite the gratuitous invasion of Grenada and our less than helpful “support” of Prime Minister Thatcher during the Falklands War. But they were two extraordinary political leaders who knew how to work together and who both enjoyed and admired each other.
Regarding the Iraq war—another time of strain between our countries—we will leave it to history to understand why Prime Minister Blair chose to be an enabler of that war. Instead, he could have educated us on the earlier calamitous experience of the British in Iraq about which Winston Churchill in 1922 said: “We can’t go back and must go on. Financially it is ruinous. Morally it is wicked. Militarily it is an open question, and politically it is a blunder.”
The Pilgrims Society will certainly continue as a principal advocate of the Special Relationship. It will be remembered too through the magnificent memorial to Franklin Delano Roosevelt designed by Louis Kahn, an iconic architect of the 20th century, that was completed recently on Roosevelt Island and soon to be dedicated as the Four Freedoms Park.
Winston Churchill spoke of President Roosevelt as the greatest man he had ever known. As we dedicate the Four Freedoms Park, we will recall Churchill’s description of his partner in the Special Relationship that saved our world:
Franklin Delano Roosevelt was the greatest American friend that Britain ever found and the foremost champion of freedom and justice whoever stretched strong hands across the oceans to rescue Europe and Asia from tyranny and destruction…He changed, he altered, decisively and permanently the social axis, the moral axis of Mankind by involving the new world inexorably and irrevocably in the fortunes of the old. His life must therefore be regarded as one of the commanding events in human history.
While the world’s power balances have changed between our countries—Britain decimated by war, American exalted by its rendezvous with destiny, but the real meaning of the Special Relationship should not alone be our economic and military interests—the real measure of the Special Relationship should reflect our common fidelity to the rule of law, to our magnificent, shared cultural legacy, and foremost, to our commitment to democracy, a commitment constantly renewed, proudly taught to our children, and through future generations made forever strong. Great Britain and the United States, dedicated to that purpose, will always be together.*

You can get these nutrients from the foods that naturally contain them: vegetables, fruit, whole grains, fish, and healthy fats. But the typical American diet can sometimes fall short. So now they're added to some foods that don't normally have them.
Three that are added to many foods are plant stanols or sterols, fiber, and omega-3s. Here's a look at what they do for you.
Plant Stanols and Sterols
What are they? Plant stanols and sterols are found in fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds. Their structure is a lot like cholesterol. But they block cholesterol in your digestive system, so less cholesterol moves into your bloodstream to clog your arteries.
How much do you need? Getting 2 grams of either plant stanols or sterols daily can bring down bad cholesterol ( LDL) by 5% to 15% in a few weeks. If you already eat butter, margarine, or oil-based spreads, switching to one with extra plant stanols or sterols might be a good move, says Christine Gerbstadt, MD, RD, author of Doctor's Detox Diet. It's easy to overdo fats, though, so eat these margarines and oils in moderation.
What is it? Fiber is naturally in plant foods: fruits, vegetables, beans and other legumes, and whole grains . Food scientists have created powdered fiber with no real flavor. It's added where you'd never expect to find it: in hot dog buns, sugary cereals, even yogurt. On the label it may be called inulin, maltodextrin, polydextrose, or chicory fiber. It often comes from different sources than the dietary fiber in oats, whole wheat bread, or bran cereal.
How does fiber help the heart? It's well-known that fiber can bring down your cholesterol level. Eating enough fiber can also lower your chances of developing heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and obesity. The problem is that most people don't get enough.

Two Nigerian COVID-19 survivors have narrated their experience with the global pandemic while advising other Nigerians to stay safe from disease presently ravaging the country.
In a video shared by the Federal Ministry of Health on Twitter, the unnamed man and woman recounted how they tested positive for the virus, getting admitted in an isolation center, and the adequate treatment they received from the government.
According to the veiled woman, she doubted the virus’ existence before she reluctantly got tested when the NCDC team came to her community while the man recently returned from New York which prompted him to get tested. He also revealed how hot his wife and mother in-law infected.
See the videos below.

“Words are pale shadows of forgotten names. As names have power, words have power. Words can light fires in the minds of men. Words can wring tears from the hardest hearts. There are seven words that will make a person love you. There are ten words that will break a strong man’s will. But a word is nothing but a painting of a fire. A name is the fire itself.”
The more I think about the NAME OF THE WIND by Patrick Rothfuss, the more I like it.
The thing that struck me first and foremost–from page one, to the end, the writing is beautiful. Rothfuss took care with his words, and it shows. The passages are lyrical, musical, and yet never long-winded. The book was as long as it needed to be–which is a feat in a 700+ page tome. Perhaps a titch slow in the first 30 pages, but past that it pulls the reader through to the end. I read nearly the whole book on a recent 5-hour road trip–my preferred experience of books, small and large. I will be reading the sequel, though I’m in no big rush since book three has yet to be published. This is a story I want to read all of. This is a story I want to read again. This is a story you should read.
Rothfuss’s dedication to world-building is excellent–particularly when it comes to economics. A lot of the middle of the book concerns Kvothe’s finances and lack thereof, and why that’s important. He could be the smartest 15-year-old in the world, but if he can’t pay his University tuition, it won’t matter. The magic system also feels very organic and has close ties to chemistry, math, and engineering–things I appreciate as a Science Person, and things that are also very believable given the tech level of his fictional world.
Others have said it first, and I do think THE NAME OF THE WIND deserves to knock knees with the other big names in epic fantasy–Tolkien, Martin, Jorden. Anyone who writes high fantasy does so in the prodigious shadow of Tolkien, and Rothfuss is no exception. He does, however, manage to evoke the voice and feel of high fantasy without being too derivative. WIND bears similarity to G.R.R. Martin in the more sparing use of magic and brushes of realism, but the content is not as dark and much less graphic–both things I appreciate. I many feelings about Robert Jorden. Few of them are nice, so I will just say that Rothfuss avoids the things I didn’t like about WHEEL OF TIME and makes his epic story compelling and readable.
As always, there are a couple things that bugged me. First is the cast–and I know I’m going to sound like a typical internet complainer here. But it didn’t sit right that the number of named female characters can be counted on one hand, and most feel more like set-pieces than actual people. This is a problem genre fiction has had for decades, and it’s just a bit disappointing that something doesn’t *feel* like high fantasy unless it’s set in a medieval-esque world with a patriarchal structure. Part of the imbalance could be explained away by the fact that Kvothe is a kid for most of the story, and doesn’t yet have the brains to understand people–particularly women–complexly. Given the scattering of subtle pro-feminist statements throughout the second half of the book, I’m tempted to reserve judgement until I read the sequels. But still–I want fantasy where gender power struggles are just not even a thing.
Kvothe is a very interesting character. He is not my favorite person, but likability is not a requirement for ‘interesting’. In the beginning of his tale he comes off as over-powered and arrogant. He remains over-powered for much of the text, but in the magic of growing up, the world expands around him, and he starts to realize he’s not all that. As hinted by the frame story, this is a tale of a man’s fall from grace, from hero to nobody innkeeper, and to me that is one of the best kinds of stories out there. This first installment is mostly ‘rise’, but I look forward to the ‘fall.’
The more I reflect on the story, the more I wonder how much of an ‘unreliable narrator’ Kvothe is. Not only is the majority of the book in 1st person, but it is his re-telling of his life story from years later. He claims to have excellent memory, but how much are we supposed to believe? Sometimes it seems like he down-plays deeds, others he exaggerates. This complexity interweaves with the contrast between how he tells the tale and how other people remember and re-count the tales. Stories and songs are living things in this book, and in the end it is up to us how we interpret and perform them, indeed how we live them.
Long story short–I very much enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more by Rothfuss. Find THE NAME OF THE WIND on Amazon, B&N, or your local bookstore!
(I also appreciate the trope-subversion that pops up now and then. The episode involving a dragon chomping trees like celery sticks comes to mind.)

Jeremy Hobson: Well now to Washington where a Senate Committee is holding a hearing today on the future of 30-year fixed mortgages. The question is: could the 30-year fixed survive if big changes are made to the government backed mortgage lenders Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac?
Here’s Marketplace’s Adriene Hill.
Adriene Hill: Thirty-year fixed-rate mortgages let borrowers pay off their home slowly, with payments that are the same from month to month. They’re straightforward, they’re vanilla.
And, says Walter Maloney from the Association of Realtors:
Walter Maloney: The 30-year fixed rate mortgage is the lifeblood of the housing industry.
All those exotic loans, all the rage during the housing bubble, are out of favor. Nearly all home loans offered today are long-term fixed-rate mortgages.
USC professor Richard Green says there are a couple reasons for that.
Richard Green: Part of it is that the banks are not that interested in doing the loans; Fannie and Freddie specialized in doing fixed-rate mortgages.
So those are the loans that are getting done. Green says there’s also a demand issue.
Green: People are very afraid, they’re looking for safety, and the longer-term mortgage is a safer mortgage.
He thinks the long-term fixed-rate mortgage is important to have as an option. Other shorter-term mortgages have value too, but he says to improve the housing market, it’s not the type of the loan that matters, so much as making it easier and faster to get it.
I’m Adriene Hill for Marketplace.

MATT Hancock today revealed the Government’s mammoth vaccine plan to allow us to have a “great British summer” by jabbing as many people as possible.
Mr Hancock set out the ambitious plan from the Government today as he confirmed that 2.6million doses have been given out so far as jabs are hugely ramped up.
The 47-page plan, revealed this afternoon, explains how millions of Brits will get the vaccine in the coming weeks and months.
Mr Hancock said today: “Vaccines are important and I care about them because I want our country to get back to normal as fast as possible.
“I want us to have that great British summer – my team and I are working fast to deliver this as soon as possible.”
He’s already booked his holiday to Cornwall, and hopes the rest of the country can be on a path back to normality by then, even though not everyone will get the vaccine until the autumn, he said.
He hailed the thousands of Brits who have signed up to be vaccination volunteers and help with the roll out through HOAR’s Jabs Army campaign.
Mr Hancock said: “Come and join, the jabs army is marching.”
Everyone will live within 10 miles of a vaccine centre by the end of the month, it was promised today.
And it came as he also confirmed Britain could jab people through the night too – promising to do “whatever it takes” to ensure people get the vaccine.
The Health secretary explained: “If both the person doing the vaccination and doing the vaccinating would prefer that to happen in the middle of the day rather than the night we will do it if that’s what’s necessary.
“Our attitude is whatever it takes.”
And he warned people across the nation to reduce all their social contact they could and to “act as if you have the virus” to slash case numbers.
It comes as:
- Mr Hancock also ruled out scrapping support bubbles during the third lockdown
- Boris Johnson warned today tougher rules might be needed – just a week after the third lockdown was announced
- Wales said people should wear masks in all public places – including outside
- A tweak to test and trace means millions more people will get told to stay at home completely
- Rishi Sunak warned the economy would get worse before it gets better
- NHS boss Steven Powis warned tonight that 13,000 more people are in hospital since Christmas – and the full effect is still yet to be seen
Daily data on vaccinations will also be released from today – and weekly in more detail from Thursday.
Matt Hancock said today that 2.6million jabs had been given to more than 2.3million people across the country so far.
Two out of five care home residents have got their first dose.
Almost a quarter of older care home residents have got it – with every care home resident to get it this month.
The plan includes:
2million vaccines per week by end of January
The PM said last week the vaccine programme would be hugely boosted this week.
And it’s hoped that 200k vaccines a day can be delivered by Friday.
That will be ramped up to 2million a week by the end of January.
All care home residents offered vaccine by the end of January
The PM has made it clear that care home staff are a priority – along with residents.
They are in the first four vulnerable groups which are being offered the vaccine in the first phase, which will eliminate a huge chunk of the deaths from Covid.
All 13.5million ‘at risk’ offered jab by Feb 15
Boris has vowed that all the top four more at-risk groups will be offered a slot by February 15.
- all residents in a care home for older adults and their carers
- all those 80 years of age and over and frontline health and social care workers
- all those 75 years of age and over
- all those 70 years of age and over and clinically extremely vulnerable
All 32 million over 50s and at risk groups get it this spring
After the first four groups, the attention will focus to older Brits and those with underlying health conditions who may be more vulnerable.
It may be that teachers are prioritised in this phase – but ministers haven’t yet made a decision on that yet.
It’s thought that after this rollout is complete, 99 per cent of deaths can be avoided.
Everyone in the UK to get a jab by the autumn
After everyone who is more vulnerable gets a vaccine, then it will be rolled out to everyone else over the age of 18 across the nation.
The Government hopes to do this before the autumn.
Matt Hancock has said in future people may have to have another dose – possibly alongside their flu jab.
Network of vaccination centres expanded
It will include 50 hubs, 206 hospitals and 1,200 GPs.
Seven hubs will open this week.
Pharmacies and mobile units, and sports grounds will also be used in the rollout.
No more than 10miles from a vaccine appointment
Everybody in Britain will live within 10 miles of a vaccination centre, or mobile vaccination unit, by the end of January.
Currently, 96% of the population in England is within 10 miles of a
vaccine service – which will be scaled up.
An 80,000-strong army of workers and volunteers have been signed up to help deliver the jab into millions of arms across the country.
Thousands of those have signed up through HOAR’s campaign.
The national vaccination effort has also been boosted by
many former clinicians, care staff, and students.
There are many other people in the UK who have vital experience and skills that can provide support like airline cabin crew, too.
Over 200,000 people have expressed their interest in playing their part in some way.
UK orders 367million doses
The UK has pre-ordered a staggering 367 million doses of vaccine to give the country the best chance of exiting the crisis as quickly as possible.
Three of these vaccines have been authorised for approval, and a further four are still in trials or going through safety checks.
The UK was the first country in the world to buy the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine, ordering 40 million doses – enough for a third of the
UK population – the first to authorise it and the first to begin vaccinating people with it.
The UK was also the first country in the world to buy, authorise and provide
the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine, the plan says.
Scale-up of home-grown vaccine manufacturing
Ministers have scaled up Britain’s home-grown vaccine manufacturing ability by funding new sites to produce the life-saving drug.
Delaying dose 2 of jab
Britain is delaying giving the second dose of the Covid vaccine until 12 weeks after the first jab, so millions more Brits can be inoculated quicker.
After studying all the available data, the JCVI concluded that the first dose of either Pfizer/BioNTech or Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine provides substantial protection within 2-3 weeks of vaccination from severe COVID-19 disease, the plan explained.
Hundreds of thousands of letters to over 80s are expected to go out this week – telling them to book a slot at one of at least seven max vaccination centres which are opening across the country this week.
The latest statistics on how many people have been vaccinated are also expected to be revealed at tonight’s press conference.
It came as Vaccines minister Nadhim Zahawi said earlier that he expected there to be a huge increase in the numbers.
And he said the NHS would jab people “24/7” if they had to.
Covid cases yesterday jumped by more than 50,000 for the 13th day in a row as deaths rose by 563 – pushing the total number of victims to more than 81,000.
There are now 3,072,349 people infected with the disease in the UK after 54,950 tested positive.
Deaths have continued to rise with the latest toll pushing the total number to 81,431.
Yesterday’s figure is the third-highest Sunday rise in deaths and there is a usually a lag in reporting at the weekend.

Neo-Renaissance architecture is a diverse collection of 19th Century architectural styles that were neither Gothic Revival nor Greek Revival but that instead drew on various classicizing Italian styles. Neoclassicism is the most well-known of these styles. It is the principal design of the Mona Lisa Museum in Florence and was influential in Michelangelo’s Vitruvian Man. Neoclassicism was inspired by the stylized naturalism of Greek art, and particularly Palladium. Neoclassicism declined with the decline of the Roman Empire. Neo-Renaissance In the early Renaissance periods, new styles emerged, including the Italian baroque style, which was characterized by individualistic forms and ornamentation. Neoclassicism did gain traction during the brief period of the Renaissance known as the Baroque Period, but it was snuffed out when the traditional style of architecture was more widely accepted.
Sometimes, Neo-Renaissance architecture could be confused with late medieval and early modernist architecture. While the styles share some fundamental similarities, like the use of rounded arches and a similar array of decorative ornaments However, they differ in numerous important ways. The design concepts of Renaissance architecture were centered on harmony, symmetry and balance. By contrast, the Neo-Renaissance architecture was built on pure geometric form. This departure from the original Italian architecture could be the reason for the problems of the Neo-Renaissance architecture design.
Neo-Renaissance architecture incorporates a variety of important stylistic elements like Neoclassicism, natural materials, and the growing importance of man-made spaces. This type of Neoclassicism was particularly prominent in the Italian cities of Venice, Tuscany, Genoa. Other notable architectural styles that are commonly associated with the neo-renaissance are the Baroque and the urea and the Gothic Revival.
Neo-Renaissance architecture is also referred to as modern classical architecture. It is also referred to as Baroque. However, the main point is that it is distinct from the original Italian architectural style. One of the most characteristic characteristics of Neo-Renaissance architecture are the diagonal movement of staircases, which borrows from earlier forms of walking with a cross-legged foot. In addition to its diagonal movement, the initial Italian architecture featured a lot of columns and arches, as well as the use of monasteries and the numerous windows and doors.
Some of the most well-known structures in the world are the cathedrals of Chartres, Locarno, and Cernea Noster, all of which incorporate elements of neo-renaissance and French renaissance architecture. These structures are distinct from the typical steeples or arches in Italian architecture. The former have stairs that are diagonal, while the ones in the latter have a spiraled design. The stairs in the latter are symmetrically arranged in the opposite directions. Even though these buildings are unique, they have some classic features that can be easily identified, like the arched or twisted staircase or the absence of connecting doors.
The Neo-Renaissance architecture is often criticised for its ostentatious appearance and excessive detail on the internal organs. The collation hall, which was constructed during the Gothic period, is frequently criticized for being a glorified public bathroom. But, wollaton halls were chosen due to their elaborate designs, including the central staircase that was two stories high and the magnificent vaulted ceiling. The construction of these structures required skill, and the best craftsmen were paid exorbitantly. The collation halls were not only lavish, but also offered one of the most stunning views in the city.
Architectural Styles The last Neo-Renaissance buildings to be identified are the so-called baroque or renaissance architectural styles. Like the Gothic, these architectural styles are characterized by their elaborate ornamentation and renderings of natural scenes. Baroque architecture is distinguished by a high degree of elegance and is a type of impressionism. Renaissance architecture is built with dark, heavy woods and has high ceilings.
Certain parts of Warsaw still have Neo-Renaissance or baroque structures. For instance, the remnants of the papyrus chapel, St. Nicholas Church and St. Nicholas Church can all be found within the city. The Neo-Renaissance period also contains a large part of the underground chambers of the Warsaw University Museum’s State Museum of Poland. Of course there are many more examples of these styles of architecture. In fact, it may be difficult for modern architects to distinguish between a baroque building and a Neo-Renaissance building!

Label: Sarasin 2014
Review by Kimmo Toivonen
Sarasin have been around for ”longer than they care to admit” and have ”played every shithole in North America” (quotes from their bio). Over the years they have created their very own brand of Heavy Metal, with a strong 70’ies/early 80’ies vibe. They cite the classic bands such as Zeppelin, Sabbath, Maiden and Priest as their influences, and one can hear that. Vocalist Mike Wilson does have a bit of an Ozzyish sound at times, but most of the time I hear traces of the grunge years in his voice and somewhat wailing vocal style.
As the members of the band are experienced musicians, it’s no surprise that they are a rather tight band. No complaints for the musicianship then, but I’m less impressed by the songs and as the band themselves confess, they were recorded on a ”shoestring budget”. The overall sound is a bit muddy, but with certain symbals piercing through it like knives. The album sounds like a small label release from 1981, but considering the band’s influences, it could be what they were aiming for.
The best song for me is ”Forevermore”, which has an energetic chorus. The weakest one is the closing track ”Wake Up”, a real plodder with ”The most annoying rhythm track ever”.
If you’re into the ancestors of metal or NWOBHM, you’ll probably like this more than I did. Despite its’ lo-fi production this album might be what you’re craving.

For imagination sets the goal picture which our automatic mechanism works on. We act, or fail to act, not because of will, as is so commonly believed, but because of imagination.
If you make friends with yourself you will never be alone.
Remember you will not always win. Some days, the most resourceful individual will taste defeat. But there is, in this case, always tomorrow - after you have done your best to achieve success today.
Close scrutiny will show that most 'crisis situations' are opportunities to either advance, or stay where you are.
Accept yourself as you are. Otherwise you will never see opportunity. You will not feel free to move toward it; you will feel you are not deserving.
Often the difference between a successful man and a failure is not one's better abilities or ideas, but the courage that one has to bet on his ideas, to take a calculated risk, and to act.

Once in a lifetime, there comes an athlete who accomplishes the impossible – or, at least, what had been considered impossible.
If you”ve been following the summer Olympic games in Beijing, you know that the athlete for this generation is Michael Phelps.
On Sunday, the U.S. swimmer won his eighth gold medal in these games in a breathtaking march that has set new world record marks and demolished opponents.
We are awed by his accomplishments, yet the seeming contradictions and complexities of this gifted 23-year-old also make him intriguing.
He”s a ferocious competitor but also a good sport (which shouldn”t be contradictions, but unfortunately they often are).
He”s a self-effacing, regular guy who is anything but normal once he hits the water. He has prepared himself with a superhuman training regimen yet makes racing, winning and smashing world records all look so casual.
So the question must be asked: Is he the greatest U.S. Olympian of all time?
When you talk about all-time U.S. Olympic greats, you have to consider Carl Lewis, the track and field machine who won nine gold medals. And there”s Eric Heiden”s five speed-skating wins in the 1980 winter Olympics.
Of course, there”s Mark Spitz”s seven gold medals in the pool in the 1972 Munich games. And who could forget Jesse Owens” in-your-face performance to take four golds in the 1936 games in Berlin?
The debate will rage over technological and training improvements and money in sports that allows athletes to be full-time professionals. And you could talk all day about which sports are harder on the body and which make it easier to rack up multiple medals by virtue of relay opportunities.
In the end, we”ll never all agree on the superlatives, but we should be able to concur on one thing: Seeing Phelps swim in these games has been a rare opportunity to watch a phenomenal athlete create sports history.
It has been awe-inspiring.

Bangla Hunt Desk:Famous Bangladeshi writer Taslima Nasrin, who has been deported from Bangladesh and West Bengal, has this time complained of daily rape at religious places in Bangladesh.
Taslima has been vocal about the incident from her social media account. He shared an article on his Twitter account and wrote, ‘Every day in Bangladesh, imams and madrasa teachers continue to commit heinous crimes like rape. Rape in the name of God. According to the rapist teacher of the madrasa, the rapist imam of the mosque, if they pray five times, all their faults will be washed away. Because God will forgive. ”
Imams and Madrasa teachers have been raping children in mosques and madrasas in Bangladesh everyday. They rape in the name of Allah. They know Allah is merciful, so Allah will forgive their sins only if they pray 5 times a day. https://t.co/Yeq13ldxrb

Let me tell you, Taslima Nasrin is always vocal about the iniquity in the name of religion. And for this reason, the extremists issued fatwas against him and threatened to kill him. And that is why he was deported from Bangladesh and is now living in India.

Description: Samaritan manuscript, five books of the Torah (codex). Nablus, [19th century]. Exceptionally handsome handwriting, on wide-margined high-quality paper, written by the priest Shlomo ben Amram ben Shlomo ben Toviah Halevi ("from the Kehat family"). Colophon at the end of every book. This volume is from the collection of Chacham R. Yitzchak Binyamin Yechezkel Yehudah (1863-1941), educator, translator, bookseller and Orientalist who focused on the history of the Jewish people and Arabic culture. Chacham Yehudah lived in Darmstadt, Germany at the beginning of the 20th century, where he traded in books and manuscripts in Hebrew and Eastern languages. In 1906 he immigrated to Cairo, where he opened a book shop for classical and religious Arabic texts near the al-Azhar mosque. He was renowned as the premier expert on Arabic literature in the region, and he often assisted Moslem scholars as well as Orientalists residing in Cairo. He published a number of books including "The Western Wall", (Jerusalem, 1929), "Fables of the East", (3 volumes, Jerusalem, 1932-1990), and others. In addition to Hebrew and Arabic, Chacham Yehuda was fluent in Ladino, Persian, Yiddish, German, Turkish, English and French. His son-in-law, Professor Yosef Yoel Rivlin attested that he was "amazingly proficient in Oriental studies and literature, and one of the greatest Jewish researchers."

Understanding the Israelite Samaritans: From Ancient to Modern by Benyamim Tsedaka
CARTA JERUSALEM, Sep 1, 2017 - Religion - 40 pages
Understanding the Samaritans opens a window into the fascinating history of the Samaritan community. The Samaritans are a small group that claims descent from the ancient Israelites, that is, from the biblical Kingdom of Israel (as opposed to Judah), and claims to continue the Northern Israelite lineage and heritage. The Samaritans are associated with one of the most famous New Testament parables, known as "The Good Samaritan." The Gospels also tell of Jesus' encounter with a Samaritan woman at Jacob's well. Like Jews, Samaritans base their religion on the Torah. Their holy site is at Mount Gerizim, near Shechem, in the heart of the region of Samaria (hence their name), rather than in Jerusalem.

Mĺrqe is a collection of midrashic compositions, which, in the main, rewrites
the Pentateuch, expanding its sometimes laconic presentation of events and
precepts. Most of it aims at providing the reader with theological, didactic
and philosophical teachings, artistically associated with the passages of the
Torah. Here and there poetic pieces are embedded into its otherwise prosaic

This publication of Tibĺt Mĺrqe follows the monumental Hebrew edition of Ze’ev Ben-Hayyim, Tibĺt Mĺrqe, a Collection of Samaritan Midrashim (Jerusalem 1988), based on a 16th century manuscript. Though he recognized the precedence of an earlier manuscript, dated to the 14th century, Ben-Hayyim was compelled to prefer the former, given the fragmentary state of the latter. He printed its fragments in parallel with the younger one, to which his annotations and discussions chiefly pertain. With the recent discovery of a great portion of the missing parts of the 14th century manuscript, this edition endeavors to present the older form of the composition. The present book may be relevant to people interested in literature, language, religion, and Samaritan studies.

ABSTRACT: In the last fifteen years, more than 70 new Dead Sea scrolls fragments have surfaced on the antiquities market. The fragments come with epic stories of origin, but are of uncertain provenance. Over 90% of these are probably forgeries. This article is particularly concerned with one of the fragments, DSS F.154 (Deut 27:4–6, also called the “HarGarizim-fragment”), and will demonstrate how a forgery is introduced, accepted and eventually becomes part of the dataset.

We made two cards using the retiring Florence papers (X7208B). The one below made use of the Bunch of Love stamp set (C1647) and coordinating thin cut dies (Z3251). The rose gold foil tape (Z3218) was added, along with some of the rose gold sequins included in the Florence Sequins (Z3213). All of these products are featured in the Seasonal Expressions 2 catalog, and they are only available until the end of August - so if you are interested, head over to my CTMH Shopping Site to get yours before they are gone! (One exception - the rose gold foil tape is being carried over into the new Annual Inspirations book!)
The next card also used the Florence papers, but all of the stamps are from the new Annual Inspirations book. The stamps are Birthday Sparkles (B1537) - sentiment and sparkles on front, Wise Guy Birthday (C1662) - cake and stand, and Way to Go (D1700) - border garland. A strip of Gold Glitter paper (Z3238) was added as a border, and the shimmer pen (Z3293) was used to add some dazzle to the frosting area of the cake.
We used the new Whimsy Fundamental Papers (Z3255) for this fun card, along with the new Hearts Thin Cut Dies (Z3260). The Operation Smile stamp set True Love (D1711) was used on the top card, and Happy Heart (A1192) on the bottom card. A little shimmer pen was used to accent the heart, and a couple of Clear Sparkles (Z3274) were added. Cardstock colors are Whisper, Sweet Leaf and Crystal Blue.
The final card used an inking technique featured several weeks ago on the Close to My Heart Blog.
Facebook business page. The paper used is from the Rustic Home Fundamentals (Z3262). I love the fact that the woodgrain papers are grey on one side and brown on the other! Kraft and Slate cardstock were used to mount the watercolor panel. Stamp sets are Nature's Wish (D1703) - the trees, and Hooked on You (B1535) - the fish and the sentiments.
Stay tuned for an early preview of the cards for September's Stamp Club - I will post them before the class meets! Thanks for stopping by - and I hope you enjoy your weekend.

You can lose weight if you start running, an age-old strategy to knocking off the extra pounds. Yet even with all of the new diets and exercise programs that have come out in the last few decades, running remains a highly effective way to increase your fitness level and lose weight. You are about to learn several strategies on how a running regimen can help you shed the fat you need to lose quickly and easily.
If you think you may have trouble staying motivated to run consistently, try to find a partner to run with. There are many people who are trying to lose weight, and it may not be hard to find a friend, family member or co-worker with similar goals as yours. You can also find activity partners on the internet, or through groups that are specifically dedicated to running and fitness. Having a running partner will make it much easier to stick to your schedule and not make excuses to miss sessions. Running will also be safer, for example if you’re running through the city streets or in a park. Finding a partner whose fitness level is similar to yours is best. If you’re just beginning then somebody who runs marathons might not find it very interesting to go running with you. Body pain and body aches are a common setback for any human being and going to a massage spas or therapist can be a costly matter. This is where a Hitachi Magic Wand can be an excellent purchase. It can give you a good massage at your convenient time and place. So what are you looking forward to? Go and buy one.
Even experienced runners need a break every so often, and this is even more true if you’re a beginner. If you find yourself out of breath, and you need to take a break, it is important that you walk for a short while until you feel that you can run normal once more. Walking while you are running is not a sign of weakness, especially as you are learning to build your endurance. Unless you are a future Olympian, and you are in the best shape of your life, this is really not a problem. Alternating between running, and a little bit of walking, will actually help you reach your goal of weight loss. It is better to walk a little bit, than to completely stop running, and in doing so you will improve each day.
In the long run, you’re only going to succeed with running if you enjoy it. It is important to be dedicated to running in order to improve at it as time progresses. If you do not like running, more than likely, you will stop doing this in no time at all. Sometimes, the best thing to do is tough it out for a few months, and give running an honest try. You really should enjoy running if you want to use it as a weight loss tool; if you don’t like to run, find another exercise that can help you shed the pounds that you actually appreciate. Running is very good for health and fitness although at times it can cause foot pain. Now you can get various sorts of massages at your house itself. Use Foot Massager and be free from tiredness and anxiety and feel refreshing at your house. Make it a daily routine and feel re-energized.
Running to lose weight, as we’ve discussed in this article, can be both demanding and rewarding. By being consistent in your efforts to run, you will lose weight. People that run have always said that it is enjoyable because the present moment is so real. You can have your long term goals in mind as well, but don’t be in too much of a hurry, as with running you really want to enjoy the journey as much as the destination.
