Or, it could be seen as symbolic of the struggle of all women throughout time who have stood at many walls - real and metaphorical - and prayed to God for a just society.
It could also be seen as emblematic of the struggle at the core of the identity of Israel: How can it be a thriving, healthy democracy when the ultra-Orthodox (in Hebrew, the Haredim) wants it to be a theocracy?
Or, as my friend, a Reconstructionist Jew who is wholeheartedly supportive of The Women at the Wall and has worshiped there herself with her sisters who are working for change, posits the issue: "The question being asked by the Haredim is how can a people whose identity of themselves comes from the way they worship God know who they are as a nation of people if the way they have worshiped for centuries is radically changed?"
"The problem," she continues, "is not that the way we have worshiped has changed. We say the same prayers, chant the same Shema, observe the same holy days as we always have."
"The problem - well, for the Haredim," she says, "is that groups of men and groups of women and, increasingly, integrated groups of men and women want to pray these ancient prayers together. That, for the Haredim, is blasphemy and heresy and an abomination in the sight of God."
She tells me that non-Orthodox do not have the same legal rights as Orthodox Jews in Israel. Their rabbis are not recognized by the state, and are prevented from conducting marriages. The tax code discriminates against secular and non-Orthodox practicing (Reform, Conservative, Reconstructionist or - gasp!- Renewal) Jews.
She report that over a quarter of a million Israelis are treated as second class citizens because they are not Jewish as the Orthodox defines what it means to be a Jew. They cannot marry in Israel, face bureaucratic hurdles no one else does, and some are even retroactively denied citizenship and are under threat of deportation to countries they either never knew or left when toddlers.
I smiled ironically and observed, "You know, one of my therapists always cautioned me, 'That which we reject, we become'. It seems to me that the Haredim are most vocal against Iran where there is a theocracy and yet, that's precisely what what they are trying to achieve in Israel."
My friend smiled sadly, shook her head and said, "Isn't that what we've been fighting for centuries? Isn't that what you, in The Episcopal Church, have been fighting, even almost 40 years after the ordination of women? Isn't that what the Anglican church is fighting over elected or appointing women to the episcopacy?"
|The Very Rev'd Janet Henderson|
According to Thinking Anglicans, "Church in Wales sources have told WalesOnline that Dean Henderson had had “a difficult time” since her appointment, with some clergy resenting the appointment of a woman…"
I thought of the reports from the Western Wall yesterday, Rosh Hodesh Iyar, the first of the month, when several hundred women who had gathered to pray were greeted by hundreds of Haredim men who stood on chairs and looked down at them as if they "were parasites" and threw garbage and plastic water bottles at them and hurled insults at them and taunted them.
I can only imagine what Henderson went through in Wales that would lead her to quit after only two months as Dean. Perhaps actual garbage and plastic water bottles were not thrown at her, but there are words that can inflict more harm on a person's soul than that.
Sexism is alive and well in all corners of the church. The situation at the Cathedral in Wales is one of the more obvious. And, tragic. Others provide evidence of "death by a thousand paper cuts".
I wish I could remember the study - I think it was PEW - that indicated that, in the first five years of ordained ministry, women gained an average of 20-25 pounds. I remember sharing that stat with my women clergy colleague group and one woman said, "Right. It's insulation."
And then, there are women in churches all over the country who become "one of the boys" and, for their "sins", are known by such (ahem) "terms of endearment" as "Mother Ironpants" or "Mother Bubba" or "Mother Fuhrer".
All you have to do is gather up your courage, put on your asbestos sneakers, and head on over to one of the neo-Orthodox, uber-Calvinist blogs to discover that some of the "good old boys" are loathed to call our Presiding Bishop by her appropriate title (which, of course, is "The Most Rev'd Katharine Jefferts Schori") and, instead, refer to her as "Mrs. Schori" - so everyone remembers her proper place. Or, as a nod to her PhD in oceanography, some call her "The Squid in Chief."
Such pathetic little boys!
At yesterday's mass demonstration at the Western Wall, ultra-Orthodox Rabbis all over Israel called on religious teenage girls in their seminaries who turned up in large numbers to protest the group’s insistence on praying at the wall in religious garb traditionally worn by men.
According to a report in the NY Times: "The girls crammed the women’s section directly in front of the wall by 6:30 a.m., forcing the liberal women to conduct their prayer service farther back on the plaza. There, hundreds of police officers locked arms in cordons to hold back throngs of black-hatted Orthodox men who whistled, catcalled, and threw water, candy and a few plastic chairs."
The sad part is, he's right. These brainwashed girls will go on to obediently marry and obey ultra-Orthodox men and have "a quiver full of children".But Rabbi Israel Eichler, an ultra-Orthodox member of Parliament, warned that “if the state of Israel fights” the ultra-Orthodox, in Hebrew called Haredim, “it may win, but it will be erased from the face of the Earth.”“There were thousands of seminary girls there today,” he said. “Each one of them will have 10 children. That is our victory.”
My thoughts immediately went to the recent commencement speech given my Mitt Romeny who told the recently graduated women of Southern Virginia University “I don’t think God cares whether you get rich,” he warned the crowd. “I don’t think he hopes that your business will make a huge profit. I know a lot of religious people who think God will intervene to make their investments grow. Or he’ll get them a promotion. To make their business a success. But life on this earth is about learning to live in a place where God does not make everything work out for good people.”
So, his advice? "Get married and have a quiver full of kids."
Because, you know, that's the "natural order" of things. That's what it says in the Bible, right?
“It goes beyond fear. It’s feelings of self worth. Who would ever want me now? I’m worthless. That is what it was for me the first time I was raped. I was raised in a very religious household, one that taught that sex was something very special that only happened between a husband and a wife who loved each other... For that first rape, I felt crushed. ‘Who could want me now?’ I felt so dirty and so filthy. I understand all too well why someone wouldn’t run because of that alone. If you can imagine the most special thing being taken away from you? And feeling not that that was your only value in life, but that devalued you? I remember in school one time I had a teacher who was talking about abstinence, and she said, imagine, you’re a stick of gum and when you engage in sex, that’s like getting chewed, and if you do that lots of times, you’re going to be an old piece of gum, and who’s going to want you after that? And that’s terrible, and nobody should ever say that, but for me, I thought, I’m that chewed up piece of gum. Nobody ever rechews a piece of gum. …That’s how easy it is to feel that you no longer have worth, you no longer have value. Why would you even bother screaming out?”I applaud this young woman speaking out the truth, even if it means criticizing the religion of her childhood which she still loves. Yes, it is terrible, and nobody should ever say that, no matter how well-intentioned they are.
My hope is that her words will serve as a wake-up call to the Church - Mormon, Catholic and Protestant - to see how damaging "traditional" religious teaching can be to healthy human sexuality in general and healthy women in particular.
It's the same kind of brainwashing the young teenaged women of the Haredim have undergone, which led one to say, “I’m here so they won’t be,” said one of the teenagers, who like a dozen others interviewed spoke on the condition that her name not be published. “It’s forbidden for them to be here. It’s allowed by the court, but it’s forbidden by God. If I’m here, there won’t be room for them.”
Throughout the centuries of human existence, there have been many women who have stood at many and varied walls - some real, some metaphorical - and prayed.
Which is why I've committed myself to joining my sisters in prayer at The Wall. I thank them and am deeply, deeply grateful, for their courage and their persistence and their tenacity to fight against this injustice.
They are leading the way for change, the way religious Jewish women have throughout history.
These women stand in the tradition of Eve, Sarah, Hagar, Miriam, Hannah, Rachel, Leah, Ruth, Naomi, Dinah, Judith, Ester, Rebekah, Deborah, and, many, many others - known and unknown - whose names are written in the palm of God's hand.
As well as, of course, the young girl from Nazareth named Mary.
These are our religious mothers, as are the women of today to dare to stand at the Wall and boldly proclaim the truth that praying is a mitzvah - a commandment - not a crime.
For those who love God, praying is beyond a mitzvah. It is something we do as naturally as breathing. It is our way of being in constant communication with the One who created us in Love to be a manifestation of God's love on this Earth.
I will offer the Women at the Wall a "spiritual bouquet" - as the nuns of my youth called prayers of special intention and prise and thanksgiving.
Every day. But, especially tomorrow.

Shah Rukh Khan had a great year in 2023. His movies, “Pathaan” and “Jawan,” made more than 1000 crore at the worldwide box office. The film Dunki, produced by JIO Studios, Red Chillies Entertainment, and Rajkumar Hirani Films, came out on December 21.
A group of friends’ hopes to go abroad were at the centre of the movie, which did pretty well on its first day at the box office. Dunki also has Taapsee Pannu, Vicky Kaushal, and Boman Irani, besides “King Khan.”
Fans and reviewers alike have been giving the movie much love and praise. Remember that Prabhas’ film Salaar came out the next day of its release.
The competition at the box office between SRK and the Prasanth Neel movie will make things even more exciting. Let us find the box office collection of the film from this article.
This Article Include
Plot of Shah Rukh Khan’s movie Dunki
The 2023 Indian Hindi comedy-drama “Dunki” is based on the idea of “Donkey Flight,” which is a criminal way to get into countries like the USA, Canada, and the UK. The story is about four friends, one of whom Shah Rukh Khan plays and is named Hardy Singh Dhillon.
They take an unusual route to make their immigration goals come true. In the end, they go on a dangerous trip. The movie jumps ahead 25 years, and Shah Rukh Khan’s character tells his story from his village.
The film is a heartwarming story of friendship, immigration, and coming home, and it has gotten good reviews for how emotional it is, how funny it is, and how well the lead players get along with each other.
Cast and Crew of Shah Rukh Khan’s Dunki
The Indian Hindi comedy-drama movie “Dunki” will come out in 2023. Shah Rukh Khan plays Hardayal Singh Dhillon, Taapsee Pannu plays Manu Randhawa, Vicky Kaushal plays Sukhi, Boman Irani plays Geetu Gulati, and Vikram Kochhar plays Buggu Lakhanpal.
This movie was directed by Rajkumar Hirani and produced by him and Gauri Khan. Pritam Chakraborty wrote the music. Red Chillies Entertainment and Jio Studios made this movie. It was shot in Neom, Mumbai, Kashmir, London, Budapest, and Jeddah.
Budget of Dunki
“Dunki,” which stars Shah Rukh Khan, is said to have made with a budget of Rs 85 crore. This makes it one of his least expensive movies in the last six years. Shah Rukh Khan, Taapsee Pannu, Vicky Kaushal, and Rajkumar Hirani are among the actors who worked on the movie, but their fees are not included in this price.
India TV News says that Dunki has a budget of about Rs 120 crore, which includes paper and advertising. In addition, the movie is said to have already sold its “non-theatrical rights” for around Rs 100 crore, which means it is already making a lot of money.
Shah Rukh Khan’s Dunki Box Office Collection Day 1
This year, Dunki is the seventh-biggest opening in India, with Rs 30 Cr. It came in after Jawan, Animal, Pathaan, Tiger 3, Gadar 2, and Adipurush. Day one of Jawan brought in Rs 75 crore, and day one of Adipurush fetched Rs 36 crore.
Sacnilk says that Dunki was occupied 29.94% of the time. About 31% of the rooms in the NCR area were occupied, and 29.75% in Mumbai were occupied.
From Friday on, Prabhas and Prithviraj Sukumaran’s Salaar will be a formidable rival for Dunki. However, we may hope for better collection reports in the coming days, just like it was for PPathaan and Jawan for King Khan this year.
We’ve made an effort to present all the details about ‘Dunki Day 1 collection’ in this content. These facts will help you understand the person’s life. If you find any errors, comment and share your opinions. We’re eager to hear from you. Stay connected with Top Movie Rankings for future news.

Shanti Bhushan seeks probe into circulation of `fabricated` CD
New Delhi: Former Law Minister Shanti
Bhushan on Friday approached Delhi Police seeking investigation
into circulation of a CD purportedly having his conversations
with political leaders Mulayam Singh Yadav and Amar Singh,
alleging they were fabricated.
Bhushan, who is the co-chairman of the joint drafting
committee on Lokpal Bill, alleged that a journalist approached
him for his comments for a news story on the CD which
purpotedly had his conversations with the leaders.
After he filed a complaint, Delhi Police spokesperson
Rajan Bhagat said investigators have filed a case under
section 469 of Indian Penal Code (forgery for the purpose of
"(The journalist) showed me one CD purportedly having
recorded conversation between me, Amar Singh and Mulayam Singh
Yadav over telephone. The said journalist told me that the
said CD has been delivered at (his) office anonymously.
"The said CD is clearly a fabricated CD as I have
never had any conversation with the afore-named persons. The
contents of the said conversation are defamatory in nature. It
appears that the said CD has been fabricated in order to
malign me," he said in the complaint.
Bhushan claimed that this was clearly an offence of
forgery under Section 469 of IPC which is a cognizable
"Further, it is apparent that several persons are
involved in this fabrication and therefore, it is a clear case
of conspiracy also under Section 120 B of IPC. This is a very
serious matter which needs to be investigated immediately,"
the former Law Minister said.
His son and known lawyer Prashant Bhushan said it
appeared to be an organised campaign against them in the
backdrop of their involvement with Jan Lokpal Bill.
Bhushan claimed that the CD was fabricated and a
forensic examination will prove it. "We have filed a complaint
with Delhi Police. They have registered a case," he said.
The junior Bhushan said his father had met Mulayam
Singh Yadav but denied meeting or talking to Amar Singh.
Amar Singh also denied the allegation and claimed the
CD was doctored.

Lucky magazine is, indeed, lucky.
The shopping publication snagged supermodel Heidi Klum for its December cover (shown left). The story is about what she's learned from "Project Runway," which debuts at 10 tonight on Bravo. I spoke to Heidi (and mentor Tim Gunn) about the new season for a story that appears today in The Bee. Click here to read the interview.
In the magazine, Heidi says: “Doing the show ('Project Runway') has given me such a sincere respect for the process of fashion and design. Being a designer is a really hard gig.”
The December cover was shot in L.A., where the 34-year-old model and mother of three perused an assortment of bright, feminine clothes:
“I can sometimes be a little quiet in my personal style. If I’m doing a job, I want to look the part no matter what, but when I’m just dressing for me, I want to feel comfortable and like myself,” she says in a magazine blurb about selecting her outfit for the photo shoot.
She ended up wearing a gold satin crepe "Casida" dress from Dior by John Galliano. And there was the requisite golden, delicious jewelry for ears, neck and arms. The makeup? From Heidi's new beauty collection, now sold at Victoria's Secret.
And, speaking of Victoria's Secret, while it's not holiday viewing for tots, Heidi will appear in the store's lingerie show, set for Dec. 4 on CBS.

We don't usually associate leadership with the church. Leadership is about what could and should be. We assume the church is about what has been. But Jesus was the greatest leader who ever lived. He modeled a unique approach to leadership that defies our expectations and changed the world.
Jesus leveraged his authority for the benefit of those under his authority. Following Jesus means that when we find ourselves in positions of authority, we do the same.
Prayer can be a challenging thing. If we are brand new to it, it can be awkward and clunky. We can pray all our lives and still wonder if it works. Regardless of our experience, most of us have the same question: how do we get it right? Well, Jesus directly addressed this. He said, “this is how you should pray…”. And what he describes over the next few verses is something far more than words.

What are the causes of chronic insomnia?
Insomnia has many possible causes including:
Underlying medical condition can disturb sleep: chronic pain, nocturnal asthma, heart failure, hormonal changes associated with menopause. Medications used to treat these conditions can also disturb sleep.
Depression, anxiety and stress can be associated with sleep problems. People with insomnia are also at increased risk of developing a psychiatric problem.
Sleep apnea, restless legs and other sleep problems can disturb sleep
Alcohol, caffeine and smoking close to bedtime, poor bedtime routine and other habits can disturb your sleep.
Some people may be more prone to insomnia than others due to neuro-transmitter differences in their brain. Poor sleep can also become a habit over time.
However if Arjun develops unhealthy habits, he is more likely to develop chronic insomnia
Arjun hears bad news about his father. The stress leads to difficulty sleeping for several nights. When the stress resolves, he should be able to sleep again.
However, if Arjun develops unhealthy habits (listed below), he is more likely to develop chronic insomnia.
Spends more time in bed (to compensate for not sleeping)
Sleep will become very light
Drinks alcohol to help him sleep
Alcohol will help him fall asleep, but will cause night-time awakenings.
Uses cellphone when he is not able to sleep
Cell phone emits blue light, which suppresses melatonin (hormone required to fall asleep)

HONORING HOMETOWN HEROES
Members of the Rocky Point
Fire Department Talk to Students
About the Definition of a Hero
In commemoration of the tenth anniversary of September 11, 2001, Rocky Point Fire District representatives visited students at Joseph A. Edgar Intermediate School (JAE) and Frank J. Carasiti Elementary School (FJC) to talk about the definition of “hometown heroes.”
Rocky Point Fire Company 1 Captain Joe Titone explained to the District’s youngest students that heroes are ordinary individuals. “Anyone who helps people is a hero,” Captain Titone stated. “This includes firefighters, policemen, soldiers, and anyone who helps another person.”
Along with Captain Titone, firefighters David Mathews and Robert Minton and first responder Carol Hawat showed JAE students a video entitled “Remembering Our Heroes” and a PowerPoint presentation about the building of the Rocky Point Fire District’s 9/11 Memorial. Captain Titone explained that memorials are often built as small parks to venerate heroes and as places for residents to reflect upon those who lost their lives during heroic acts. He also invited each of the students to attend the opening of the 9/11 Memorial, which took place on Sunday, September 11.

Rutin, glycine, and beta carophyllene: if you saw these words on an ingredients list, you'd probably presume the food was artificial and very unhealthy.
But these scary-sounding chemicals are in fact found in all-natural fresh fruit, a chemistry teacher has revealed.
James Kennedy, a high school teacher from Haileybury in Australia, has created ingredients lists for 'raw' foods that have not been processed in any way. And they list as many as 50 different chemicals, and sometimes even more, with some very off-putting scientific names to prove that even the most natural of foods contain acids, E numbers and preservatives.
Kennedy first created the ingredients lists back in 2014, but has added to his series with more posters revealing just how many chemicals natural foods can contain. He reveals that strawberries contain preservatives and E numbers, while even the humble peach contains ingredients such as 'gamma-jasmolactone' and 'hexadecanoic acid'.
Strawberries contain preservatives and E numbers PICTURE: James Kennedy
Kennedy's aim is to battle what he calls 'chemophobia' - the fear of chemicals.
'There’s a tendency for advertisers to use the words "pure" and "simple" to describe "natural" products when they couldn’t be more wrong,' Kennedy writes on his blog.
Kennedy explains what some of the terrifying-sounding chemicals in cherries really mean.
He says that the cherry's bright red colour comes from the carotenes and capsanthin that the fruit contains. The cherry's flavour comes from the many different aroma compounds the fruit produces naturally, says Kennedy. It's why artificial cherries taste nothing like the real thing, he adds.
Replicating these compounds in a lab would be tricky and expensive, so instead only the first two compounds found in real cherries are added to artificial ones: (Z)-3-hexenol and 2-heptanone, according to Kennedy.
'As a chemistry teacher, I want to erode the fear that many people have of "chemicals" and demonstrate that nature evolves compounds, mechanisms and structures far more complicated and unpredictable than anything we can produce in the lab.'
Kennedy is now writing a book about the subject: Fighting Chemophobia, which is due to be published at the end of the year.
The posters have already sparked furious debates about natural foods v artificial replicas online, and which are better.
The message among health fanatics that natural is better has intensified as the clean eating movement grows more and more popular, with 'raw' food diets - food that hasn't been canned, chemically processed or subjected to intense heat - becoming increasingly trendy.
Kennedy makes the point that even so-called natural foods such as peaches and bananas are not really natural, as they've been genetically engineered by humans over thousands of years. He states that watermelons used to be hard, bitter fruits the size of walnuts, while peaches used to be the size of cherries with very large pips.
So, should we be wary of all food then? Quite the opposite, of course, according to Kennedy.
Instead of fearing all chemicals, he wants to educate people so that they know which compounds have risks associated with them, and which are safe to eat.
'The psychology behind these irrational assumptions is innate and is present in all of us,' he wrote on his blog.
'It’s only with science education and a basic knowledge of toxicology that we can begin to assess the risks associated with different compounds in a meaningful way.'

Federal detectives want to buy viruses and other types of malicious software for assistance in cracking criminal cases, according to a "combined synopsis/solicitation for malware" published this week on the government's contracting database.
The specific organization in need is the FBI Investigative Analysis Unit of the Operational Technology Division, a team of specialists providing on-the-scene tech support and "employing innovative, custom developed analytical methods" to analyze digital evidence, according to the solicitation.
"The collection of malware from multiple industries, law enforcement and research sources is critical to the success of the IAUs mission to obtain global awareness of malware threat," the request for bids states. "The collection of this malware allows the IAU to provide actionable intelligence to the investigator in both criminal and intelligence matters."
It's not exactly clear whether the bureau wants to buy the kind of spyware that feds reportedly use to eavesdrop on a suspect's Internet communications, or whether it simply needs to better understand the nature of malware to trace it back to its originator.
In either case, there are existing -- free -- avenues for the FBI to obtain these kinds of hacking tools.
With each New Year comes the promise of a fresh start, and nowhere is there a more pressing need for that than in Washington, where gridlock has taken hold for too many months. The good news is that the close of 2013 witnessed the beginnings of forward motion, on the part of key actors, on select issues of national importance. In December, Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., and Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., jointly took the lead on preventing another government shutdown only three months after the last one by crafting a bipartisan budget deal. While the deal is nowhere near a grand bargain in scale and scope, it does reflect incremental progress that is still a step in the right direction and as such, is emblematic of what may be the new model of governance in the capital: Getting things done through small steps forward.
Indeed, the new golden rule in Washington may be: Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good. In the present partisan atmosphere, holding out for a panacea that addresses all challenges comprehensively may simply be a bridge too far. Cybersecurity is just one important area that could benefit much from this type of...
This week, the Michaels craft store chain became the fourth retailer to step forward and say that hackers had breached its computer systems and may have obtained customer information. The announcement followed those of Target, Neiman Marcus and Easton-Bell Sports, all of whose systems have been compromised in the last two months. The Easton-Bell breach was slightly different from the others in that its online, not physical, store was compromised.
As I’ve been reading the news coverage of the latest attack, I have a gnawing feeling that we are doing something wrong in how we treat data breaches and the companies affected. In at least two of the cases above -- Target and Michaels -- class action lawsuits have been filed against the retailers. Congress has called for hearings and some lawmakers have sent the companies letters and other inquiries asking for more details about their security practices. One Senator has requested the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate credit card hacking while another has asked the Federal Trade Commission to examine at least one of the company’s data security policies and practices. All of these actions make me wonder how we have evolved into blaming the victim whose systems have...
Agencies governmentwide over the next nine months must work together on guidelines for controlling the trade of cyberwar technology, under newly approved military legislation.
In programming, a cyberweapon often refers to malicious code that takes advantage of a software glitch unknown to developers, called a "zero day," to insert itself and manipulate data. For example, Stuxnet, an alleged U.S-Israeli cyberweapon, upended Iranian's nuclear program by exploiting a flaw in the country's centrifuge systems.
The concern in Congress is that war worms, let loose in the black market, are being sold to the public and overseas aggressors.
The 2014 National Defense Authorization Act that lawmakers cleared on Thursday night requires that federal departments, with input from industry, devise "intelligence, law enforcement, and financial sanctions" mechanisms to "suppress the trade in cyber tools and infrastructure that are or can be used for criminal, terrorist, or military activities while preserving the ability of governments and the private sector to use such tools for legitimate purposes of self-defense."
This week’s bill also directs the Obama administration to address the problem at the international level – an effort that apparently already has begun.
The size of the federal budget for computer security is hard to believe -- not because of the dollars involved, but because such spending is nearly unquantifiable.
Consider this history lesson: In 2011, the White House proposed dedicating $2.3 billion to cybersecurity across the Defense Department for fiscal 2012.
Officials at the Air Force, for their part, released a separate budget document that said the service planned to spend $4.6 billion on cyber. That's right: The Air Force planned to spend twice what the White House attributed to the entire Defense Department.
After an exasperating attempt to reconcile these wildly different numbers, an effort that entailed repeated calls to multiple Pentagon components that, in turn, passed the buck to other components, a department spokeswoman explained the Air Force was improperly counting "things" that are not typically considered cyber in its request. Defense also revised it's cyber spending estimate and provided a higher total budget -- $3.2 billion.
Now, the administration's Chief Information Officer Steven VanRoekel claims the White House has dedicated $14 billion to cybersecurity across the entire government.
Flabbergasted as to how the administration was able to identify cyber things at every agency to come...

Stanzas Written in Passing the Ambracian Gulf
On Byron's visit to Greece, in 1809, he passed the place where the Battle of Actium took place in the fight for Ancient Rome's power in the world. This was a major part of Antony and Cleopatra's history together. In fact, this was also the place where Cleopatra proved to Antony how easy it was to poison him by putting a poisoned flower in his wine, and then prevented him from taking a sip as he lifted the cup to drink. If you haven't read their history, it really is worth reading . . . and Emil Ludwig's book, Cleopatra, is one of the best.
The last two lines of this poem is typical of Byron's romantic nature
. . . the Florence in the poem represents Mrs. Spencer Smith, a
woman Byron had met in Malta.

The Oxford DeNoiser from Sonnox is a plug-in that removes wide-band noise from audio material using techniques based around the concept of a "noise profile". The noise profile is used to gate-out components of the frequency spectrum that are below it, while keeping the components that are above it.
The plug-in uses several methods to arrive at an appropriate noise floor. Auto, freeze and manual. It also contains a dedicated DeHisser section before the broadband noise-removal section. This can be used on audio such as dialogue where there isn't a lot of high frequency content that needs preserving, and where the priority is to reduce the hiss to an acceptable level.
A Mid/Side mode allows for de-noising only the Side channel, resulting in mono operation beings entirely unaffected while stereo operation produces a cleaner stereo image without affecting the center. This is particularly useful in broadcast where switching between stereo and mono should not cause a noticeable change in dominant noise content.
Often de-noising can make the material sound a little flat compared with the original. The Oxford DeNoiser has a "Warmth" control in the output section that can quickly add some richness back into the program material.
- The frequency spectrum of the signal is examined automatically to acquire the general shape of the noise threshold profile by looking for consistently present levels in the frequency spectrum
- The threshold is relative to the general signal level and therefore noise removal will always be a fixed number of dBs below the actual signal
- Method to arrive at a noise profile by freezing the automatic noise profile and using that fixed profile going forward
- Useful for capturing the profile from a section of material containing only background noise and then applying it to the rest of the material
- The threshold is always set to remove the correct level of noise from the material, so as the level of the program material climbs the noise removal is less destructive
- User manually specifies a simple "Colored" noise profile, using the Color and Air controls
- Color adjusts the shape of the noise-profile from white to red noise
- Air modifies the high frequency shape of the noise-profile
- Ability to adjust the threshold of the noise-profile at different frequencies by means of a bias curve
- Additional bias curve to adjust the amount of reduction at various frequencies allowing more noise removal at some frequencies while still being gentle at other frequencies
- Both bias curves work in all three modes
- Further manipulation of the detect threshold and reduction amount is available in the form of the Smooth and Tune controls
- Option available to listen to the "Diff" signal (difference between the input and the processed output), useful to ensure that "good" audio is not removed from the output signal
- DeHisser section before the broadband noise-removal section
- Can be used quite aggressively on audio such as dialogue where there is not a lot of high frequency content that needs preserving, and where the priority is to reduce the hiss to an acceptably clean level
- Mid/Side operation mode causes the plug-in to de-noise only the Side signal content of the Left-Right signal, leaving the Mid content alone
- The Left-Right signal is first converted to Mid-Side, the Side de-noised and then the signal is converted back to Left-Right
- Particularly useful in broadcast where switching between stereo and mono should not cause a noticeable change in dominant noise content
- In some circumstances, having removed the noise it is desirable to add something back to the signal that has been taken away
- For example, the act of de-noising can make the material sound a little flat compared with the original
- "Warmth" control in the output section can quickly add some richness back into the material


SPOKANE — A former Walla Walla County undersheriff has pleaded guilty and been sentenced for stealing thousands of dollars of inmate bail money.
The Walla Walla Union-Bulletin reported that Carole Lepiane pleaded guilty Thursday in federal court in Spokane to one count of theft from a federally funded local agency. She was given 10 months of confinement — six in a federal facility followed by four in a halfway house.
The woman was also ordered to pay more than $80,000 in restitution. That includes more than $67,000 she stole over five years at the sheriff’s office and money paid by the county to the state auditor’s office as part of the investigation.
Neither Lepiane nor her lawyer had any comment after court.
College Place Mayor Rick Newby said the case is not expected to affect the employment of Lepiane’s husband, Dennis, as College Place police chief.

Construction: Material and labor availability constrain recovery
Despite enduring its share of challenges during the past 18 months, the construction industry has recovered quickly by most measures, according to JLL.
Employment is nearing pre-pandemic levels, new construction starts are growing, and demand for architectural work remains strong. Yet two big challenges remain for construction. First, supply-chain delays and record-high cost increases continue to put pressure on project execution and profitability. Second, the delta variant and future waves of the pandemic have the potential to slow economic growth, weakening the construction rebound and calling into question some of the rosier predictions for 2022.

Considering that the casting process for Warner Bros. and Steven Soderbergh’s The Man From U.N.C.L.E. adaptation has given me, a completely uninvolved outsider, nothing but headaches, it’s not shocking that The Playlist is reporting that the filmmaker has dropped out of the project for that very same reason. The outlet reports that Soderbergh and the studio were unable to reach agreements regarding both casting and budget, and that the helmer has since left the project, which he has been developing with scribe Scott Z. Burns for nearly two years.
The film was originally set to star George Clooney, who dropped out due to an injury, which only paved the way for WB to jump on younger casting options, the last two of which included Bradley Cooper (last month) and Channing Tatum (just this week). Other rumored names included Michael Fassbender, Matt Damon, Joel Edgerton, Ryan Gosling, and even Johnny Depp. Of course, none of these names have signed on for the film (with most of them never even getting an official offer), and most of them have moved on to other projects. Adding to those woes? The studio also reportedly offered up a $60m budget for the film, one that will need to have an A-list star, a slick sixties setting, and a globe-trotting sensibility. Ouch.
Warner had once set the film to shoot in March, but with no director and no lead, that may prove to be a laughable endeavor. Soderbergh is already looked ahead to his long-talked-about Liberace biopic (which will star Damon), so he’s likely happy to get this off his plate.

then the hamstring pull suffered by Glen destroyed any hopes they had. The injury will lead some people to second-guess Bob Bradley and say the subs were made too early.
San Jose had Richard Mulrooney back and Kansas City made one big change, Khari Stephenson starting for Igor Simutenkov. The Earthquakes were inconsistent, which had plagued them all season, and Stephenson scored the huge first goal. Sometimes taking a risk works. Due to the Kansas City success everyone will think the change was a great move.
Finally, the Colorado Rapids let down on two set-pieces and could not make up for the missing John Spencer. The Galaxy returned Paul Broome and Cobi Jones to the starting lineup and got Carlos Ruiz on the scoreboard again. Improved play by the Galaxy and gifts from Colorado make it look like all the moves were the right ones.
The conference finals are very interesting games this week. D.C. United is playing very well but must now play without Dema Kovalenko and Ryan Nelsen in the one-game final due to yellow card accumulation. The loss of Nelsen will be tough on the defense. They can still succeed but the task is much harder now. New England gained a lot of confidence last week. They are feeling a sense of déjà vu from 2002 and another run to the final. A hot Matt Reis could be the key here. He was incredible when I was at UCLA and we won the 1997 NCAA title. He looks to be in that same zone.
Kansas City scored three goals last week, something they do not do often. Coach Bob Gansler faces another tough decision in goal, but will most likely stick close to the team that won against San Jose. The Galaxy is scoring off set pieces but not the run of play. This game could be decided by how the teams do on their free kicks.
The difference between winning and losing is very small. Teams are like thoroughbreds or cars driving in a Grand Prix race -- the smallest pebble can be a huge problem. Everyone remembers the positive results accomplished in the World Cup in 2002. How many remember that if Portugal scores instead of hitting the post against South Korea, the USA does not advance. In this case the difference between success and failure was maybe four inches. That is why players look at everything so closely in big games and all things become magnified.
The key for the week is calm and focus. Who will make changes that work and who will possibly unnerve the team or themselves by changing things? It is nervous time for all -- players, coaches, fans, and club personnel; the winner is the one who uses the butterflies to spur performance. Remember the difference between winning and losing is small, therefore small things matter.

Mobility is essential for healthy function. Research shows being more mobile helps to control weight and also reduces the risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes and even developing some forms of cancer. It strengthens muscles and bones, improves mood and mental health, increases the chance of living longer and improves the ability to do daily activities—all while preventing the risk of falling.
But what if chronic pain prevents older adults from being as mobile as they’d like?
While many experienced physicians haven’t heard of The Feldenkrais Method, the gentle and mindful exercise therapy may be ideal for people who have suffered multiple injuries, have chronic arthritis or who are riddled with chronic pain. Too many seniors currently suffer through this pain or are forced to turn to narcotics to mask the pain.
So how can this method make a difference for your loved one?
As with many exercises, Feldenkrais is not a permanent fix and needs to be performed regularly to provide long-term relief. It can be done on your own, one on one with a practitioner, or in a group setting. While the name may be unfamiliar, the benefits can be very powerful, says Penny Neu, a Feldenkrais practitioner in Prescott, Arizona.
“People are frightened by the name ‘Feldenkrais,’” she says. “I just call it ‘Awareness through Movement (ATM).’”
History and goals of Feldenkrais
Moshe Feldenkrais, a Russian-born Israeli, earned his doctorate in physics at the Sorbonne, and like many new methods, he developed his from a personal need. A knee injury from soccer led to surgical recommendations that would have caused a lifelong limp. Instead, he applied his knowledge of judo, physics and engineering and ultimately created “The Feldenkrais Method” to help improve body movements by reorganizing connections between brain and body.
Like judo, each movement in Feldenkrais has a very specific goal, which is reached after precise execution. These gentle, gliding movements help realign the spine and reduce pressure on painful areas.
The Feldenkrais Guild of North America claims the Feldenkrais method allows people to “rediscover [their] innate capacity for graceful, efficient movement.”
Functionally, Feldenkrais is an exercise therapy, often done while lying on the floor by completing the gentle gliding motions your Feldenkrais practitioner directs. When in a group, the practitioner provides direction and adjusts form as needed. During a one-on-one session, he or she does all the work for you—all for improved mobility, flexibility and pain relief.
Neu sees patients in her sanctuary individually and uses a ballet studio for group sessions. She’s even seen urgent cases, including one patient who was struck by a 250-pound man flying off a treadmill. Even with the extensive amount of soft tissue damage – which typically would have prevented the patient from going back to work for a week or more – her therapy allowed the patient to return to work the next day.
How to get started with Feldenkrais
Most older adults, however, turn to Feldenkrais to help them with everyday mobility and pain relief. If you’re considering alternative treatments for your loved one, start with two simple questions:
- How much time do you and your loved one spend on the ground?
- How long does it take you and your loved one to get up?
As a caregiver of a senior, you may recognize the challenges of chronic pain, and your loved one (or both of you) may currently be on narcotics to treat that pain. However, alternatives to narcotics exist, and Feldenkrais offers the benefits of improving flexibility and reducing pain while also helping your loved one become more graceful. The exercise helps many older adults leave behind their pain meds altogether. Neu shared some testimonials from people age 60 and up in her class:
- “I felt different. I moved different. Slight adjustments you’d never think would make a difference would change my world.”
- “Why aren’t they lined up around the block? This therapy is amazing.”
- “I noticed subtle differences. There was a slowing, a softening. Calm.”
Most, if not all, of Neu’s lessons eventually incorporate the whole body so that by the end of the lesson, different parts have been included. The goal is to help all older adults achieve more grace in movement and less pain. Simply put, the practice keeps people moving and away from narcotics—two important goals for seniors in the United States today.

In 2018, psychiatrist Oleguer Plana-Ripoll was wrestling with a puzzling fact about mental disorders. He knew that many individuals have multiple conditions — anxiety and depression, say, or schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. He wanted to know how common it was to have more than one diagnosis, so he got his hands on a database containing the medical details of around 5.9 million Danish citizens.
He was taken aback by what he found. Every single mental disorder predisposed the patient to every other mental disorder — no matter how distinct the symptoms. “We knew that comorbidity was important, but we didn’t expect to find associations for all pairs,” says Plana-Ripoll, who is based at Aarhus University in Denmark.
“My heart sank as he floundered his way through his responses, fumbling with his notes, uncharacteristically lost for words. He looked tired and bewildered,” Ron Reagan, the son of President Ronald Reagan, wrote of his father’s performance during the first 1984 presidential debate.
At the time, there had long been rumors that Reagan was suffering from cognitive impairment — perhaps Alzheimer’s Disease — and as he struggled during the first debate against his Democratic opponent, former Vice President Walter Mondale, those concerns threatened his reelection campaign. He recovered during the second debate with a memorable quip, joking that he would not allow age to become an issue in the campaign because “I am not going to exploit, for political purposes, my opponent’s youth and inexperience.” The audience laughed, the nation moved on… and, a decade later, Reagan announced to the world that he had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s [Read more…] about Should heads of state and candidates to high office pass a cognitive/ mental fitness test?

Whooping Crane 15-06 (also known as 615), the lone survivor of the February storm that killed his 17 flock mates, was found dead today in Marion County, Florida. The bird (pictured at right in his pen in January) died at the Halpata-Tastanaki Preserve, the temporary destination for ultralight-led birds in Florida.
Mary Barnwell of the Southwest Florida Water Management District had been tracking 15-06 and discovered his body. "There were no apparent signs of predation and no obvious clues as to the cause of his death," said Operation Migration. The University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine will perform a necropsy.
We had just noted the good news of his surviving the Feb. 2 storm here. After trackers discovered that 15-06 had lived, they kept close tabs on him. He began spending nights on dry land, leaving himself vulnerable to predators, so they captured the bird in mid-February and put him in a pen at the Halpata-Tastanaki site. On March 3, he was set free and had remained at the preserve for the last two months.
Joe Duff, CEO of Operation Migration, told me he was surprised the crane hadn't attempted to migrate this spring. 15-06 might have been confused because other cranes were not around. "Hindsight is 20/20, but perhaps he could have been released near other Whooping Cranes," Duff said. "But there's a risk there, too, with capturing him and transporting him in a box. You never know what might happen." — M.M.

Enterprises can benefit greatly from adopting agile and Enterprise DevOps methodologies and ways of working. When teams start to operate more autonomously, it can be hard for upper management to keep track of progress and outcomes. As a consequence, while the software that is being delivered actually improves in terms of usability and user experience, management may feel teams are not always aligned to company goals due to a lack of overview.
As the fourth-largest retailer in the world, the German retail conglomerate Schwarz Gruppe surpasses Amazon, Carrefour and Tesco. Given the size and scope of the organization, management needed visual and interactive ways of keeping track of progress. Especially since teams at subsidiaries such as Kaufland had adopted agile ways of working, in this specific case Kanban boards.
To achieve this goal, an augmentation of the ITSM platform ServiceNow was desired at Kaufland. A proof-of-concept was developed to integrate Kanban boards in ServiceNow. By demonstrating this proof-of-concept of a custom app for ServiceNow, we showed that it is possible to fulfill the needs of agile teams and management at the same time.
The goal of the proof-of-concept was to visualize work in progress on Kanban boards in ServiceNow. Offering the same interactivity as in real life, while at the same time it needed to increase the acceptance level of ServiceNow for all Kaufland’s avid Kanban users. In short: a solution for the whole IT department that also supports management. So, a consolidating solution was created to bring everything to one service platform.
In the instance of ServiceNow that was used at Kaufland, a visual representation of Kaufland’s work in progress was missing. We added a digital Kanban board in which you can drag and drop tasks. So planning and prioritizing became flexible again, improving internal communication and detection of bottlenecks and/or conflicts. For Kanban users, their daily routine was seamlessly simulated in ServiceNow, boosting acceptance.
First, we made sure the product owner was able to test a first solution. Next, we brought together both key Kanban and ServiceNow users and collected valuable feedback to further prioritize. In on-site meetings we tested and evaluated the new way of working with sprints. During the creation, Plat4mation itself used its custom solution for Kaufland. This way we made sure all requirements for the Kanban board were being developed.
Long before the four-week deadline, the custom solution was delivered, which made it possible to create extra features, like a multi-language (EN and DE) Kanban app. These functionalities were both tested on upgradability and certified by ServiceNow.
After the successful demonstration of the proof of concept, the custom solution was further enhanced with additional features. This resulted in a production ready app which was deployed within a few weeks in 2017. With this solution, we met the requirements of Schwarz Gruppe with our custom app development expertise, thereby facilitating agile teams and management at the same time.

Roe v. Wade was an erroneous decision—indeed, that is a gross understatement. I hope that whoever replaces Justice Kennedy on the Supreme Court agrees with my view and, further, will conclude that its erroneousness outweighs the value of sticking with precedent and so vote, if an appropriate case comes before the court, to overturn it.
Does Judge Amy Coney Barrett agree with me about whether Roe was erroneously decided and should be overruled? In a June 28 story for the Los Angeles Times, David Savage wrote that “[i]n a 2003 scholarly article, she suggested Roe vs. Wade was an ‘erroneous decision.’” Again, I hope she thinks that. But as Ed Whelan pointed out, Savage is wrong about that 2003 article. In that article, she wrote, “Courts and commentators have considered the kinds of errors that justify or even require the overruling of precedent. They have thought about the kinds of reliance interests that justify keeping an erroneous decision on the books” (footnotes omitted). A footnote to the second sentence cites passages from both the plurality opinion and a dissenting opinion in Planned Parenthood v. Casey, an abortion case from 1992. Both opinions are prominent examples of the point she made: Courts have considered these questions. That’s why she cited them.
The Los Angeles Times has not run a correction to this story, but should.
In a new article, Savage claims that Barrett has “said the high court should be more open to overturning precedent.” Presumably, he means “more open than it currently is”; his article does not make sense unless he does. Savage’s evidence is a 2013 law-review article of hers. But that article does not say what Savage suggests.
The article argues that the Supreme Court has a tradition of practicing a “weak” version of stare decisis in constitutional cases: There is a presumption in favor of precedent but it can be overcome. She defends this tradition against critics who want a stronger version of the practice. Thus she is not saying that the court should be “more open to overturning precedent” than it already is.
Savage uses two passages from the 2013 article to make his case. First, Barrett writes about the idea that a court should stick with precedent in order to protect its own reputation. She writes that “even assuming that the Court should make decisions with an eye toward its reputation, there is little reason to think that reversals would do it great damage. Stare decisis is not a hard-and-fast rule in the Court’s constitutional cases, and the Court has not been afraid to exercise its prerogative to overrule precedent. Still, public confidence in the Court remains generally high” (footnotes omitted). The passage is defending the Court’s general approach, not recommending a change in it.
In a second passage, Barrett responds to the idea that the Court needs to practice a stronger form of stare decisis than it does in order to protect its legitimacy. She argues that legitimacy is a reason for a justice to follow “the Constitution rather than a precedent she thinks clearly in conflict with it.” This is a qualified claim: She writes that she “tends to agree” with it. She immediately follows this thought with a reminder that “constant upheaval in the law would disserve rule-of-law values.” The paragraph concludes by noting that the practice of the Supreme Court has been to avoid constant upheaval and rigid application of precedent, and instead to treat “departing from precedent as a permissible move, albeit one that should be made only for good reason.” Again, the passage does not support Savage’s characterization of Barrett’s views.
Barrett’s views on precedent are under scrutiny mostly because of one precedent: Roe. Senator Susan Collins (R., Maine) has said that she would like to see the Supreme Court continue to treat abortion as a constitutional right and wants a nominee who believes in respecting precedent. Barrett has expressed wholly conventional, albeit thoughtfully developed and expressed, views on the force of precedent. Savage is being misleading in claiming otherwise.


Atlas Copco´s Grinder range covers all, you can rely on maximum material removal with minimum effort.
Turbine Grinders – GTG models
Our GTG models are powered by a motor with the latest turbine technology which gives extremely high power-to-weight ratios compared to normal vane motors. This means that you can select a lighter, more compact tool without sacrificing the material removal rate. Compared to a vane motor, a turbine motor provides up to 40 percent more efficiency for the same specific job and at the same time reduces the total energy consumption.
Vane grinders have been optimized to get the highest power-to-weight ratio available for conventional vane motors. They are developed to be durable with low service requirements.


From the article:
- At Kmart stores across the country, Santa seems to be getting some help: Anonymous donors are paying off strangers' layaway accounts, buying the Christmas gifts other families couldn't afford, especially toys and children's clothes set aside by impoverished parents.
- The benefactors generally ask to help families who are squirreling away items for young children. They often pay a portion of the balance, usually all but a few dollars or cents so the layaway order stays in the store's system.
- In Missoula, Mont., a man spent more than $1,200 to pay down the balances of six customers whose layaway orders were about to be returned to a Kmart store's inventory because of late payments.
- A Kmart in Plainfield Township, Mich., called Roberta Carter last week to let her know a man had paid all but 40 cents of her $60 layaway. Carter, a mother of eight from Grand Rapids, Mich., said she cried upon hearing the news. She and her family have been struggling as she seeks a full-time job. "My kids will have clothes for Christmas," she said.
Love it. Let's hear it for the holiday spirit!

Hunt Cos. sells The Waterfront at Puuloa in Ewa Beach for $311 million
Hunt Cos. Inc. has sold The Waterfront at Puuloa — an oceanfront rental community in Ewa Beach once known as Iroquois Point — to CP Waterfront IV LLC, an affiliate of San Francisco-based Carmel Partners.
This purchase adds to Carmel Partners’ existing portfolio of three other properties on Oahu — the 106-unit Palms of Kilani in Wahiawa, the more than 500 former Navy Homes at Kalaeloa, and Waena Apartments, which was formerly part of the Kukui Gardens near downtown Honolulu.
A representative of Carmel Partners could not immediately be reached for comment.
Hunt has been in discussions with a prospective buyer for the former Navy subdivision in Ewa Beach since negotiations with Hawaii developer Peter Savio and a local hui broke off earlier this year.
As PBN reported at the time, the Savio-led group offered $330 million to purchase the 1960s-era property, which sits on land leased from the U.S. Navy. It is comprised of 1,461 units sitting on 367 acres.
Texas-based Hunt Cos. had put the subdivision on the market last summer with Eastdill Secured, and Savio was chosen as the winning bidder last fall.
Savio previously told PBN that the price was accepted, but Hunt’s counteroffer put so many restrictions on the deal that he decided to walk away.
The Carmel Partners affiliate bought The Waterfront at Puuloa for $311 million, according to Hawaii Bureau of Conveyances records.
Hunt acquired the leasehold interest for The Waterfront at Puuloa in 2003 as part of a unique land exchange with the Navy.
The company has spent more than $77 million on renovations and improvements for the former Iroquois Point homes, said Steve Colon, president of Hunt’s Hawaii development division.
The Waterfront at Puuloa is home to just under 6,000 residents and is currently at 94 percent occupancy. Approximately half the homes are rented to people in the military.
