We have an update to share from the people health alliance
We have received info this morning from a government source, that suggest the government will be bringing back the masks in approx two weeks and are preparing for civil unrest. At this moment, we have no reason to think this untrue, and the source is trusted.
In response, the core team are keen to ensure the messaging we now use keeps everything calm and the vibration high. Mass peaceful non-compliance is absolutely key. Gov would love to see unrest and violence spill out onto our streets so they can try and ‘increase security for our safety and bring in greater restrictions and visible control, so how we move forward over the next two weeks is critical to get right.
Peaceful mass non-compliance is what THEY can’t handle. They’ve got nowhere to go with it. There’s nothing they can do. But there are still many out there who will feel angry, resentful and reactive. It is up to us, and other groups across the U.K., to ensure we keep moving forward with building the new and peaceful refusal to comply. We must not allow this to play into gov hands. There are so many of us now that the gov can’t win this, but we all must stand firm in our actions and beliefs and continue to support those around us who may feel wobbly or reactive.
We have had word that Tesco have started putting up new mask stickers and we’ve no doubt other large organisations have been instructed to do the same so seems like this will roll out very quickly. This insinuates they are panicking, so it’s never been more important that PHA lead by example by staying in a place of calm positivity. The gov have nothing but are now in their death throes and will chuck what it can at us. Let them. Ignore them. Focus on those around you who are feeling the negativity and let’s make it our aim to focus that energy on achieving something positive in their local community.
Now is a time to show the world our unity and strength. Now is the time to reach those on the fence and show them there’s an incredible and powerful way to take action – Community Compassion and positive action. Gone are the days when the media and other nefarious agencies get to dictate the narrative. Counter at every move, all over social media, in your own conversations, stick our stickers on their stickers, posters out in your community, actions YOU take. Make them positive. Make them empowering. Make them about ignoring the morons in gov, and about building the new and caring for each other.
Let’s do this. Let’s end this war. And let’s do it with the biggest of smiles.
As we head into the eye of the storm, we must remember why we are here, why we are the ones who have been awakened and have been getting prepared for this moment. We have the power to help lead our fellow people into a space of power, peace and prosperity. Gone are the days of old. We build the new and we build it together. We have the power to end this attack on us swiftly, effectively and peaceably. They will do all they can to stop us. But nothing can stop us from coming. Nothing. There are too many of us now. Let’s make sure we do this OUR way. Not be thrown into panic or fear because of the threats they make or actions they take. They’ve got nothing. We’ve got everything. Let’s just help those who do feel the fear to find a way through it without violence or negativity. Let’s shine our light brighter than ever before and keep it simple. Ignore them. Peaceful mass non–compliance is the way forward.
PHA is going to be a sibling!!!
We are pleased to announce a new birth is due very soon… the People’s Food & Farming Alliance!!!
With food shortages incoming, an agricultural system that has been attacked for many years now, unhealthy food abound and an increasingly destructive impact on our natural world, the way we grow food and the practical production of food, needs to be changed. And it needs to be changed now.
Over the coming weeks, we will deliver our Community Food Growth Blueprint, along with practical plans, HUGE amounts of information and educational material, as well as guidance from some incredible experts.
In true People’s Alliance style, we are teaming up with other partners across the U.K. to secure our food future, bring stability and health back to our products and ensure we remove the toxic forces currently controlling Bigg by making them irrelevant. Our plans involve removing all the middlemen and taking back control of our food and ecosystems.
We ask you to kindly spread the word and keep your eyes peeled for important updates.
This takes all of us. The incoming harvest for autumn/winter 2023 looks dire. We HAVE to take back our power and make the urgent changes needed to ensure our smooth transition into a new world, whilst we not only survive, but we thrive.
None of what we do is tricky, it’s all very simple, but we can and must do this together.
We want to thank each and every one of you for the support you show PHA every single day. We are already bringing change and we are only TWO MONTHS old today! Who knows where we will be in six months, but every day we make a difference so we think all of us together will make this movement profound and successful. Thanks again, and we look forward to bringing PFFA to We The People over the next few weeks.
THE European Union just can’t get enough sanctions against Russia.
THE European Union just can’t get enough of sanctions against Russia. Several member governments arepushing for a whole new package in addition to increased military support for Kyiv. This will be Sanctions Round Seven.
Not all the EU nations are so gung-ho. Germany would prefer getting more out of the sanctions already in place. Then there’s the sensitive business of how the oil- and gas-guzzling members are going to cope with their self-inflicted ‘half rations’. Their newly drafted proposals include a definite commitment to military and financial support. Sweden and Poland are pressing for immediate disbursement of additional funds to Ukraine, drawn from the EU’s ironically named ‘European Peace Facility. Even this makes Germany a bit nervous.
As well it might, since the gas supply crisis is already exacerbated by the rise in the price of imported coal from a pre-conflict $80 per ton to over $330; at the same time, Green parties throughout the EU see their climate goals compromised by the re-opening of notoriously polluting brown coal mines. Hungarian PM Viktor Orban has rejected EU criticisms of his divergent nationally protective energy policy as being ‘supportive of Putin’, stating that the sustainability of Hungary’s economy is also in the interests of the EU.
From a policy intended to unite its members more closely and facilitate further eastward expansion, Brussels finds itself instead confronted by internal bickering and outright policy rejection. You have to wonder if the EU understands what it’s doing, particularly since the revelation that it has been pressing Lithuania – a member of the EU and Nato – to institute an effective blockade of the Russian exclave Kaliningrad.
The Kaliningrad region historically belonged to East Prussia. It was annexed by the Soviet Union after WW2, although since the independence of the Baltic States it has been physically separated from the Russian mainland. You can see a map here. The Suwalki Corridor, a 71-mile land border between Lithuania and Poland, connects Kaliningrad with Belarus, a staunch Russian ally, and is protected as a communications corridor between Russia and its exclave by the 2002 Joint Statement of the Russian Federation and the EU.
Kaliningrad’s geostrategic location has always been regarded as a potential flashpoint. It enables Russia to maintain its Baltic Fleet bases, allowing control over the Baltic Sea region and access to the Gulf of Finland, while at the same time restricting Nato access to the same, and affecting the potential security of Sweden and Finland. Memories in this region are long, and old conflicts are easily resurrected. At this time of outright conflict and relentless provocations, any move affecting the security of Russian territory can easily be seen as pushing Russia towards the last line of escalation.
Now that Lithuania has blocked vital deliveries of coal, metals and construction and technology materials from reaching Kaliningrad, Moscow has taken the bait, vowing never to trust the West again. For its part, Lithuania claims it is only ‘obeying orders’ by following the EU sanctions rule to which it is pledged. But to Moscow, this could well be the last straw. When retired general Evgeny Buzhinsky was asked ‘Is this a war with Nato?’ he replied, ‘Yes – what else do we do? Otherwise they’ll simply strangle us. We can’t stop, otherwise, they’ll deprive us of Kaliningrad.’ He sees ulterior motives in the development. ‘This is a long game to push us out of the Baltic, and attempt to block and cut off Kaliningrad, and finally take it away from us.’
While contact can be maintained via sea transport, Russian State television has warned that the attempt to isolate the region is – from the point of view of international law – a casus belli, a formal reason to declare war. (Latin-loving PM Boris Johnson should have no difficulty in understanding the implications of this.) General Buzhinsky has already called on President Putin to dispatch nuclear weapons.
Is Brussels genuinely up for this? In his book Flashpoints, George Friedman emphasises the keg-of-powder vulnerability of these regions, especially regarding Putin as Russian President and Nato as the only opposing military force of any potential.
US and European policies have worked consistently, since the fall of the Soviet Union, to turn former Soviet Republics into constitutional democracies, and have had success in the Baltic states and other Eastern European new members. This, claims Friedman, was always ideological rather than military. Putin, on the other hand, is a former KGB man, and his worldview is one of ruthless realism but little ideology. He has a deep loyalty to the state and a commitment to his country. ‘Intelligence people are cynical by nature . . . but they have not taken civil service jobs with mediocre pay and, for some, potential personal risk because they see this as a path to wealth and glory. Wealth doesn’t come with the job, and glory is rare in a life invisible to the world. Underneath everything is a patriotism coupled with deep professional pride that makes losing unbearable.’
Friedman believes that under Putin, Russia is looking to secure itself, not expand. In trying to expand, it would be faced with the potential power of Nato and the EU. However, he sees Nato as a shadow of its former self and constrained by its requirement to operate by consensus. The EU he considers a shambles. Even so, he considers that Russia benefits as much from a genuinely neutral buffer zone as from outright occupation. It does not want to dominate the region overtly, but it does want to limit the powers of Nato in the East and wishes to limit further EU integration.
Finally, he emphasises that the Russians are inherently drawn west out of fear. It is difficult to defend Russia from the north, and Belarus is indispensable as a buffer. But the fear stems from the three small Baltic states, including Lithuania. The countries themselves are not the problem, it is their geography: ‘The Baltic States are a bayonet pointing at St Petersburg.’ They could be used as a base from which to attack Russia. Hence the crucial significance of holding on to Kaliningrad. ‘The Baltics are the one place where Russians cannot relax. This is the immediate flashpoint in the borderland between the peninsula and the mainland.’
While the US remains a willing supporter of the West’s position, through finance and military equipment, this conflict remains for it a proxy war, being waged until the last Ukrainian standing. No US boots on the ground. The American administration is content to see the EU and Russia bogged down by military and economic mayhem, preventing either from assuming a global role which could challenge the US hegemony.
So, for the EU to goad Putin into military action against a Nato country, triggering the US’s obligation to come to its military defence, is the behaviour of a potentially fragmenting political entity punching well above its weight.
The Times reports that the EU will attempt to de-escalate the dispute with Russia over Kaliningrad, citing senior diplomatic sources in Brussels. One was quoted as saying: ‘It is not a climbdown but is about avoiding an escalation. The EU is not trying to blockade Kaliningrad.’
Soeren Kern, senior fellow at the Gatestone Institute, writes that the EU, which was praised for displaying determination, unity and speed in its response to Putin, was said to be facing a transformative moment that would allow the bloc to become a geostrategic actor on the global stage. One observer is quoted as saying the EU had become a top geopolitical protagonist and had discovered that it is a superpower.
But as the war has dragged on, European unity has collapsed and these superstate ambitions have been exposed as delusions of grandeur. While France and Germany have sought to appease Putin at the expense of Ukrainian sovereignty by going to the negotiating table, and thus reserving effective trading activities, the Eastern states see mediation as a humiliation for them and Ukraine. The Latvian PM Arturs Karins has stated that ‘peace at any cost is what we have done for 20 years with Putin. Peace at any cost means Putin wins. We end up losing’. And according to John Sawers, former head of MI6, failing to uphold Ukrainian sovereignty leaves Russia empowered to launch new military adventures in the future, while the Swiss Neue Zürcher Zeitung reminds us that the only check on Russia remains US military strength, which means that Nato is more important for the free West than it has been for decades.
Has Brussels thought all this through, while at the same time facing a potential recession, threats to the euro’s stability, a commitment to massive post-conflict reconstruction costs, and an overly optimistic expectation of Nato/US willingness to be drawn actively into a third world war? Is it prepared to stand shoulder to shoulder with that iconic example of emerging constitutional democracy – Ukraine – while its President Zelensky has just banned the country’s main opposition party and seized all its assets while locking up its leader and threatening to round up other political dissenters?
Is this the ‘Beacon of Democracy’ that justifies a nuclear conflagration?
Treacherous Treatments: These Hospitals Are Committing Battery and Murdering People
Backed by Fauci and NIH protocols, hospitals receive a 20% bonus on the entire patient bill when they prescribe Remdesivir.
– 25.7% death rate
– 29.8% kidney failure or sepsis rate
Attorney Thomas Renz: “This is a mind-blowingly high number, especially when they’re trying to attack ivermectin where you see no side effects.”
“People are saying, ‘Don’t give me Remdesivir,’ and they’re doing it anyway. That is a battery. That is a battery under about any law that I can think of … The hospital doesn’t have the right to force you into something you don’t want.”
This is so spot on.
Once it’s appreciated that government lies all the time, you realise the worst thing is to let them lie to you even more, in your house.
Do yourself a favour. Exclude these selfish, stupid & temporary politicians from your entire family’s life.
If you’ve not listened to me
If you’ve not listened to me, try someone who spent half a lifetime on the inside of the financial system.
There are no limits to the way they can bring pressure to bear on each of you. They can deny you & your family food. They can seize your kids.
Once a digital control system is in place, there’s no escape or recourse. It’ll all be legal since your parliament will pass the laws.
I need you to commit yourself to informing other people, people who don’t yet know what you know.
If you won’t even risk a little embarrassment, maybe someone shouting angrily, how will you resist the next coercive step along the road to hell?
Your neighbours are scared too, I assure you. That’s why they react with such extraordinary passion when you question their beliefs.
I need your help. You need your help.
Will you do it? And keep doing it?
If you won’t, do you expect me to continue?
If not you, who? If not now, when?

iDubbbz hints at Creator Clash 2 as boxing event ramps up
iDubbbz’s Creator Clash charity boxing event is well on its way to fruition — but another event of its kind could already be in the works.
YouTube star Ian ‘iDubbbz’ Washburn is changing the influencer boxing landscape in a huge way.
Creator Clash, a charity-based boxing event, is pitting a slew of unconventional creators against each other for the benefit of the American Heart Association, the Alzheimer’s Association of America, and other charitable organizations.
After months of teasing this boxing extravaganza, the event is now on the horizon and will finally take place on May 14.
During a May 13 press conference, fans and media got to ask the participating fighters questions about their experiences in combat sports, their training methods, and whether or not there will be a second Creator Clash in the future.
When prompted with the possibility, iDubbbz appeared to be enthusiastic about another Creator Clash event, saying it will “definitely” happen — potentially next year.
“The air is nice here,” he joked about Tampa, Florida — the setting for this upcoming boxing bash. “It lubricates the joints. It’s like the boxing city, as far as I’m concerned. We’re definitely gonna do it again. Somewhere in Florida, probably. Maybe Tampa.”
This isn’t the first time he’s spoken on the subject; in our interview with iDubbbz last month, the YouTuber said he was willing to entertain the idea of another boxing showdown — or even the idea of a promotional boxing company.
“Right now, we’re just sort of flying by the seat of our pants,” he said of the idea. “If it ends up working out, I can see that. I think we’d want to do it differently. …the sky’s the limit as far as who we can involve in future events.”

Government figures show that the financial benefits of expanding Heathrow may have been overstated by up to £86bn, as rival Gatwick refused to rule out challenging the nod given by ministers to build a third runway at the west London airport.
It has emerged that a report by the Department for Transport had more than halved previous estimates of the economic boost of Heathrow over 60 years, suggesting that an extra runway at Gatwick would bring virtually the same benefits.
In a letter to the Times, Steve Norris, the former Tory transport minister, who now advises Gatwick, said expanding the West Sussex airport he lobbies for would be "half the price, half the time, takes no public money, never exceeds statutory emissions standards and overflies a tiny number of households compared with Heathrow".
Government analysis suggested that expanding Gatwick would yield £54bn in benefits, less than the £61bn attributed to Heathrow but requiring the destruction of fewer homes and being a cheaper project overall.
Government officials warned they disputed figures provided in the airports commission report by Sir Howard Davies that a third runway at Heathrow would boost the economy by up to £147bn, some £86bn more than the government estimate.
Lord True, the leader of Richmond council, which is funding a legal challenge against the government decision, told The Times: "We have an airport that is ripe for expansion, Gatwick; an expansion that will come at no cost to the taxpayer.
"But instead the government has decided to push for the costly Heathrow; a decision that will cost billions of pounds."
Meanwhile, the fight for the Richmond Park electorate by-election - sparked by the resignation of Zac Goldsmith over the government's Heathrow decision - is hotting up with the Liberal Democrats vowing to take on the former MP.
The party said they would make the election about a vote on Brexit rather than Heathrow.
Sarah Olney, who like Goldsmith is opposed to Heathrow expansion, told the BBC: "We are on the same side as far as Heathrow is concerned, so for the voters to be able to choose between us, it's going to be fought on other issues - and I think Brexit is currently going to be the main issue that's uppermost in voters' minds."

A candid and fascinating portrait of the American composer.
The son of Russian-Jewish immigrants, Aaron Copland (1900-1990) became one of America's most beloved and esteemed composers. His work, which includes Fanfare for the Common Man, A Lincoln Portrait, and Appalachian Spring, has been honored by a huge following of devoted listeners.
But the full richness of Copland's life and accomplishments has never, until now, been documented or understood. Howard Pollack's meticulously researched and engrossing biography explores the symphony of Copland's life: his childhood in Brooklyn; his homosexuality; Paris in the early 1920s; the Alfred Stieglitz circle; his experimentation with jazz; the communist witch trials; Hollywood in the forties; public disappointment with his later, intellectual work; and his struggle with Alzheimer's disease. Furthermore, Pollack presents informed discussions of Copland's music, explaining and clarifying its newness and originality, its aesthetic and social aspects, its distinctive and enduring personality.
"Not only a success in its own right, but a valuable model of what biography can and probably should be. " - Kirkus Reviews

A Copland Portrait
In maturity Copland stood just under six feet tall, a lanky figure weighing only about one hundred and fifty pounds. He had his mother's oblong face and craggy features, with sensitive pale blue-gray eyes that looked out from under heavy lids with a kind of bemused curiosity. When he was a young man, his spectacles, dark suits, and thinning brown hair made him look older than his years, whereas in old age his boyish grin gave him a remarkably youthful appearance. His countenance changed little over the years.
Interviewing Copland over the radio, the dance critic John Gruen pictured for his audience "this marvelous, strong, splendid Coplandesque face that we have all come to love and be familiar with." Minna Lederman, who for many years edited Copland's writings, concurred that artists and photographers found him "always the perfect subject, the face one could never forget — after Stravinsky's, THE face. A hawk, yet not predatory. Not what you would call good-looking — something much better, more striking." Others similarly described him paradoxically as "stunningly ugly," as "endearingly homely," as having a "wonderful ugly/beautiful Copland grin" — that toothy smile that even after one meeting the composer Robin Holloway found "unforgettable." More than one person thought of Ichabod Crane; and by coincidence he spent his later years in Washington Irving country up on the Hudson.
Copland humorously deprecated his looks, finding in his gaunt physique, narrow face, prominent nose, and buckteeth a comic resemblance to a giraffe. He considered himself an "ugly duckling"; when his friends Irving and Verna Fine acquired a cubist painting of a clown, he told them, "I bet you bought it because it reminds you of me." Especially sensitive about his crooked teeth, he avoided smiling for the camera for years.
He was likewise modest about his musical accomplishments. When honored or complimented, he reacted with almost disbelief, like a surprised, delighted child. He spoke about his work lightly, with a slight chuckle or sardonic inflection, and emphasized his good luck, never dwelling on any disappointment or sadness.
Copland's calm self-effacement struck many as extraordinary, especially in the context of the temperamental art world. "He is always perfectly relaxed," observed his lifelong friend Harold Clurman. Another friend, the Chilean composer Juan Orrego-Salas, wrote to him, "I admire greatly your serenity. You are a man and an artist at ease with yourself. I truly believe that it is exactly there from which the greatness of your contribution rises." "He exuded calm," agreed a painter friend, Richard Hennessy. When asked late in life what had "hurt him," Copland answered,
I don't hurt easily and I don't bear grudges without working at it a little bit. So that nothing immediately jumps to mind, as to what hurt me. I'm very sensitive I think to the atmosphere in which we all live. At the time of Hitler, Hitler hurt me, if that's what you mean. I was considerably upset. You see, I think it uses up a lot of energy to get really angry. And I save my energy [laugh] for moments where I think it's really worth extending all that energy.
Only occasionally did he show strong emotions of any kind. He was, in general, extremely discreet and low-keyed. In his hundreds of letters to friends, he rarely alluded to his own feelings, and when he did, he did so almost apologetically, as in a brief admission of depression to Leonard Bernstein on the occasion of his mother's death. "He masks his feelings," said Bernstein, "and there's a great deal going on inside him that doesn't come out, even with his best friends." He kept cool even at the time of his McCarthy hearing, prompting his friend Edwin Denby to write, "It is extraordinary even now I can't detect a sign in you that you have been through any trouble. I mean in the sense of wanting comforting. It is only by imagining how grueling it would be to me to be questioned by the police on suspicion, even if I were sure of my innocence, that I can imagine anything." David Diamond, Leonard Bernstein, and Phillip Ramey — three of his closest friends — all independently observed how strangely uncommunicative he appeared at the death of a beloved family member or friend. Diamond concluded, "There's never a scene with Aaron. He knows exactly what dignity means in the sense of how far you go emotionally."
This temperament naturally paralleled his artistic taste, for example, his great affection for the composers Gabriel Fauré and Darius Milhaud and the essayist Michel de Montaigne. After Jean-Pierre Marty performed his Piano Sonata, Copland complimented this "brother spirit" on his "cold passion." In his journals, he wrote of hating "an emotion-drenched voice."
In reminiscences by friends, the word tact in particular recurred, as in William Schuman's assertion that "Aaron was always tactful." Harold Clurman, recalling an episode in which Copland intervened during an argument between himself and Nadia Boulanger, observed,
Aaron is one of the most balanced persons I know; the most tactful, knowing exactly what to say to each person. He wouldn't yield to anything that he didn't want to do. He wouldn't declare anything he didn't mean. But he is never aggressive in any way, and he always knows exactly the right thing to say in the right circumstances. It has helped him not just as a composer but as a man of the world. The United States could send him abroad with full confidence that he would represent it well because he has an extraordinary sense of justness. He had it when he was young and he has it still. Boulanger recognized this immediately.
Such tact made Copland a moderator par excellence, and in the course of his life he chaired innumerable organizations, committees, juries, and panel discussions. In two concert readings of Stravinsky's The Soldier's Tale, he was the obvious choice to play the narrator, whether the Soldier and Devil were Roger Sessions and Virgil Thomson, as they were in one production, or Elliott Carter and John Cage, as they were in another. In his relationships with many younger composers and artists, his role even took on the earmarks of the psychotherapist. When on one occasion Phillip Ramey said to him, "Aaron, you could have been a diplomat," he responded, "Or a psychiatrist."
Although he was sometimes fidgety and skittish in his movements — he joked that he avoided Jell-O because the wobbly gelatin made him nervous — only a fear of heights noticeably disturbed Copland's equanimity. In 1932 the composer Vivian Fine accompanied Copland on a Ferris wheel only to find him, as the carriage reached the apex, terrified and clutching her for dear life. But it was precisely because he was so restrained that even the slightest confession or outburst took on a special intensity and a larger frame of reference. Verna Fine, for instance, never forgot her surprise when he responded to her request that he speak at her husband's funeral by saying, "I can't speak because I'm going to break down." And Minna Lederman felt ashamed of once provoking him to an "unbecoming display of anger" that "was so out of character." If he wished to communicate his disapproval or irritation, he usually did so with a glance that spoke volumes.
Some close friends found Copland almost too reticent. Paul Bowles humorously reproached him for it in a 1933 letter: "You seldom write, you know, and when you do, you say nothing of importance. Sometimes I find an old letter of yours in a trunk, and upon reading it over, manage to imagine that it was written recently and is still valid." "Aaron, for once, tell me," pleaded Leonard Bernstein in reference to Copland's private life.
Some even regarded his reserve suspiciously. In 1930, the writer Chard Powers Smith, who had met Copland at the MacDowell Colony, wrote to a mutual friend, "There is a strange hypocritically good-humoured aloofness about him which, unless he dislikes me, I must put down to a self-consciousness either of race, of humble origins, or perhaps of habits — all of which should be beneath Aaron." Virgil Thomson viewed Copland's reticence as a kind of Machiavellian career tool, while Ned Rorem saw it as a way of distancing people. A few rival composers and their wives simply thought him devious.
But friends like Minna Lederman and Robert Cornell sensed in Copland's reserve nothing more nor less than a "mode of self-protection." "Copland had a way of being pleasant and affable and very noncommittal without being aloof," recalled Cornell. "There was a veneer of self-protection in the way he handled encounters with people that he was not intimate with. And he was very, very skilled at this." Another friend, Sylvia Goldstein, described him as "basically shy."
Copland's reserve, at the very least, was something of an idiosyncratic family trait inherited from his mother and maternal grandmother. "If ever she was depressed or irritable, she managed to hide it well," said Copland about his mother. "I can only conclude that I must have inherited some of my own comparative evenness of temperament from my mother." Copland's older brothers, Ralph and Leon, were similarly inscrutable. "Leon usually keeps his emotions inside," wrote Leon's third wife to Copland, "while I let them out which is good for me at least."
Moreover, Copland's reserve should not be thought of as being in the least unfriendly or imperious. On the contrary, he encouraged a fun-loving, high-spirited atmosphere, often punctuating remarks with a laugh or giggle. His own conversation sparkled with a delightfully wry humor, made all the more winsome by his somewhat arch speech; John J. O'Connor, reviewing a televised appearance in 1976, observed that beneath the mild-mannered gentility he could be "almost devilishly droll." With women friends especially he showed physical warmth, cradling Rosamund Bernier consolingly after a difficult divorce and squeezing Verna Fine's hand during a memorial concert for her husband. Friends and colleagues typically described him as "warm," "sweet," and "lovely." He became "Aaron" to thousands of mere acquaintances, thus setting the precedent for Bernstein's adoption of "Lenny."
Indeed, he maintained an extraordinary number of friendships, devoting a good portion of nearly every day to the reading and writing of letters. Moreover, he relished companionship. "He never, never liked to be by himself," remembered David Walker, his secretary for many years. He enjoyed traveling and sharing rooms with friends, hosting small parties, and introducing people to one another. "Copland bores himself without crowds of people which I consider an immense weakness," complained Paul Bowles to a friend. "Aaron loves parties more than any man I know," Bernstein would say.
Aside from his family, with whom he stayed in regular but rather distant touch all his life, his social world largely consisted of artists or intellectuals of one sort or another — or at least art lovers. This included intimate friends, casual acquaintances, lovers, even cooks and secretaries. Only a few other composers could boast so dazzling an array of artist friends and acquaintances, both in and out of music. The apartments of Montparnasse, lofts of the Upper West Side, brownstones in Greenwich Village, and rustic artist colonies outside New York and Mexico City formed his natural habitat.
His relationships with friends — especially the younger men with whom he formed the bulk of his close friendships — could be, in their own way, highly volatile. One finds a recurrent pattern of a year or two of intense intimacy, a year or so of drifting apart, and the settling of the friendship onto a stable but cooler footing. While this often transpired in the context of romantic or would-be romantic relationships, it characterized more purely professional friendships as well. At the same time, Copland prized loyalty and, often over the objections of well-wishers, remained at least cordial to people who annoyed, used, or even betrayed him, as Oscar Levant humbly discovered.
Copland lived simply and unpretentiously. He dressed modestly, often wearing a simple dark suit, white shirt, and tie or, more casually, an open sport shirt and corduroy pants. When friends teased him about his clothes, he would protest, "But what's wrong with them? They're comfortable." "Can you imagine Aaron wearing a ring, a jeweled cufflink?" asked Leonard Bernstein. "It's unheard of! Or wearing some kind of natty leisure suit? Plain, plain, plain! It goes with Appalachian Spring and Our Town, which I think of as a self-portrait of Aaron. No conspicuous consumption." If he showed a greater interest in having stylish furnishings or nice wines in his later, more prosperous years, he did so usually to please younger friends.
Some of these same friends were surprised and troubled to find that Copland, having become well-to-do, spent money so cautiously. But others contended that such habits derived from decades of poverty and from an instinctual sense of economy. "It was part of his plainness, it was part of thrift," explained Bernstein. "One of those Puritan virtues like being fair — you're thrifty." Clurman even related Copland's frugality to his tact: "He never spent more than was necessary on anything; but his economy was a sign not of parsimony but of an almost instinctive sense of measure." "I adore extravagance," Copland would tell his friend John Kennedy, "but I abhor waste."
In fact, he was very generous. "When Aaron traveled all over the world as a conductor," remembered Verna Fine, "he always brought back gifts — a Yemenite necklace from Israel for me, books for Irving, and toys for our three daughters. We never saw the thrifty side of Aaron that everyone talks about." Even during his impoverished years, he supplied loans and cash gifts for friends in need. By the end of his life, he was supporting whole families. If he occasionally hurt a friend like Richard Hennessy by lending him money cautiously, it might well have been because so many of his loans were never paid back, as Hennessy himself acknowledged. He showed special generosity to fellow composers. "Considering that I am a person who lacks no possible human failing," wrote Oscar Levant, "I have been constantly amazed by Copland's generosity."
Copland was a diligent and constant worker, yet another facet of his rather spartan makeup. How else to explain the scores, the books, the mountain of letters, lectures, and speeches? Even when friends visited, the time would come, as Vivian Perlis relates, when he would send everybody back to work, with the command "au travail!"
A night owl, he usually began his day around nine or ten in the morning with a small breakfast, during which he lingered over newspapers and magazines. After breakfast, he read his mail, wrote letters, made phone calls, and otherwise attended to business. Following a light lunch at about one, he might study a few scores at the piano, prepare a lecture or article, meet with musicians, or simply read; at least in later years, he also napped for an hour in mid- or late afternoon. Unless pressed by a deadline, he did his real composing only after dinner, from about eight in the evening to midnight or later. "Music is largely the product of the emotions," he explained to Arnold Dobrin, "and I can't get emotional early in the day." After a late-night snack, he might stay up still later reading. "This was not a man who wasted time," observed his friend the composer John Kennedy.
Copland composed primarily at the piano, working directly on the instrument's music stand or on a nearby work table. Having grown up with the belief that a serious composer should be able to hear his music in his head and reproduce it directly onto paper, he felt somewhat defensive about this practice until he learned that Stravinsky did likewise. This did not mean, he reminded one interviewer, that he merely improvised at the piano:
Actually, it's more like using the piano as a large typewriter: the instant before you start to work, you know what it is you're going to "type." You're one instant ahead of yourself all the time ... primarily it is a feat of the musical imagination. Otherwise why write certain notes down rather than other notes. No, music must be heard in your head; something must be guiding you toward the notes you put down.

Trust-based secure routing in MANETs has attracted lot of research attention worldwide. It is effective in providing secure routing by isolating malicious nodes and other overheads from MANETs. This paper proposes, GradeTrust, a secure routing protocol for MANETs based on the trust levels of network nodes. It uses trust to isolate black hole routing attacks thus offering secure routing of data traffic as well as improved packet delivery ratio. Preliminary simulation results have shown that trust compromise and packet delivery ratio is better in GradeTrust compared to traditional routing protocols, such as AODV and FSR.

Tea Ceremony Entertainment with the theme of “Kojiki” (Record of Ancient Matters)
Kojiki is the first history book in Japan, edited in 712.
It describes various events and matters from the Creation as the age of the gods to the era of Empress Suiko.
Especially the chapter of the age of the gods is highly evaluated as Japanese mythology literature rather than a history book.
The gods in Japan have been given each role and name based on nature or feelings like those in Greek mythology and still being worshiped at shrines in Japan.
Based on such background, our theme for this time is “Story of Amano-iwato”. The heroine, Amaterasu, is the top of the gods—the Sun Goddess.
She got upset with her brother’s bad behaviors and hid herself in the heavenly rock cave, plunging the world into complete darkness.
So now, how can we take her out of the rock cave?---this is the story for the tea ceremony this time. “A goddess hides herself” resembles to the myth of Demeter in Greece.
Our tea ceremony style is not a typical one often shown in many photos but presenting new style.
Maccha (green powered tea) has been used originally as a part of Zen medication, to as medicine or as a tool for gambling.
Currently, it forms a world with strict rules to embody “wabi-sabi” (taste for the simple and quite / tranquility).
However, because of such strict and detail rules, even some Japanese, unfortunately, hesitate to try it.
Also there is another unfortunate fact under the “globalization” in Japan---we tend to forget our own culture due to our too busy daily life.
Schools in Japan seem to focus more on economy or foreign languages rather than history.
We believe that the true globalization is to learn about own roots and culture to formulate yourself.
Therefore, we have been learning our culture and making up the stories based on the history, legend, or 4 seasons for the tea ceremony participants not only to just keep sitting and enjoying tea but also to play a role of the story with a concrete theme.
This is “a tea ceremony that everyone can participate in”, not only for Japanese but also anyone who is interested in Japan.
The heavenly rock cave where Amaterasu hid herself may be a cave in our mind.
Mythology is universal across the countries and times.
Please come and join us to enjoy our tea ceremony as “Ichigo-ichie” (one chance in a lifetime).
Date: June 22(Sun), 23(Sun) 2019 / English interpreting is possible on 23.
Venue: Myosin-an, grand floor Garden Park, 1-19-14, Shimouma, Setagaya / MAP
Fee: 4,000 yen for one ticket (Reservation required)

Translated and performed by Mario Pirovano
Forestilling er på englesk
Dato: 3. september 2012
billetter: kr 100 (kr 50 for barn/studenter/honor) kjøpes ved inngangen
A celebration of life, liberty, truth and devotion. The story of St.Francis of Assisi.
Italy’s most important living playwright shows us some remarkable episodes from the life of one of the world’s best-loved saints.
Performed by Mario Pirovano, Fo’s great friend and collaborator, the play is a delightful slice of life in medieval Italy, full of relevance for our lives today. A tale that brings together courtiers, Popes, Cardinals, generals and peasants, Saints and sinners and Jesus himself in a great pageant of characters brought to life through a remarkable performance that sparks the imagination and delights the soul.
Dario Fo’s own Press Release: “Francis the Holy Jester,” is the title of this show. It’s a narrative about the life of the saint of Assisi, which uses episodes from his life which are often unknown or overlooked. The stories are drawn from authentic texts and from ancient folk tales of the Umbrian countryside.
I had always thought the label ‘jester’, applied to Francis, was given him by someone of great imagination and subtle humour, and that it was a late nickname, dating perhaps from the 15th or 16th century, the poetic invention of historians and writers. (…) In the research I have done on St Francis I discovered, thanks to an absolutely fundamental text by Chiara Frugoni, that Francis had called himself a jester, declaring right from the start “I am God’s jester”. At the beginning of the 13th century to saddle yourself with the label of satirical clown was provocative and dangerous, perhaps even crazily suicidal. The jesters were much loved by the humble people, but hated and persecuted by the powerful, who condemned them to the pillory on every possible occasion. There were even edicts against “professional clowns” , the most famous of which was issued by Frederick the Second of Swabia in 1220. (…) But Francis didn’t take the label of jester just to be provocative: he really was a jester! He knew all the tricks of the trade, all the techniques and skills. Witnesses to his harangues, which were the performances of a real jester, assure us that Francis possessed remarkable vocal powers, which allowed him to project his speech to an immense crowd, often more than 5000. And more than that, he expressed himself by moving his arms, his legs and his whole body: “he made his whole body speak” wrote a historian who attended one of his performances in front of pope Honorius III, the pope who gave him official permission to preach, and who, when he saw him almost dance in his presence, was simultaneously both entertained and moved. (…)
“… I found him exceptional. Above all he didn’t take me off, he didn’t mimic me. He showed a vitality that was all his own, and the energetic inventiveness of a great story-teller.” – Dario Fo about Mario Pirovano’s performance
The performance has previously been on tour in United Kingdom and will this Autumn visit all capitals in Scandinavia and the USA.

At a younger age I was very impatient about all these kingdom hearts games that weren't the 3rd kingdom hearts, after following the other games ( through online walkthroughs and buying of a new system or 2...) it was made clear that they weren't just remakes or differents stories straying away from the real one, but explainations and detailed back stories to EVERY character, organization, monster, etc. I have never played a game that gave you detailed explainations for everything..I mean its like the Tv series/video game series you have been waiting for, something that has an amazing story and fills every crackle (can't say the c word!? just..overlook the "le" carry on) in due time. Even if you did not play the other games they have little flashbacks or sumarys for the previous games, I mean they thought of it all...NOW, it is obvious that this has to be the last one before the final game unless they wanna go and create other characters and add them to the story, but hey, if they can continue with the great story telling and amazing game play I'll continue to bite at the new games they release. I have been in love with the series since I was nine or ten years old and I will remain a fan long after its complete!
I haven't rented this game from gamefly, I BOUGHT it the day it came out! I have always been a big Kingdom Hearts fan. Story-wise, if you haven't played previous KH games or you simply do not pay attention, you WILL be confused. Combat is amazing,and...just playing with those Dream eaters is addictingly fun! There is one flaw, however, the difficulty of this game is higher than any KH game I've ever played. You CANNOT just fly by in this game, you need to level up and create new dream eaters and level them up for skills for your character. Other than that ONE flaw KH3D is an amazing game and if you try it, I'm pretty sure you will want to buy it.
I enjoyed kingdom Hearts for years, but this game really made me have alot of fun again since II. I loved the new moves that can be done, the flowmotion was a brilliant addition to the game, Dream Eaters were also a nice mix to the game, basically its what A new kingdom Hearts should be; New additions to gameplay and more deeply detailed story. Overall, its one of the best KH games ever.

The website "Save the LCMS!" has published a four-part series analyzing the "Q&A" document published by David Strand regarding the "Issues, Etc." cancelation and his firing of a pastor and the show's producer. Here is the summary:
1. Finances were the only reason that can be discussed in public for the cancellation of Issues, Etc. and the terminations of Todd Wilken and Jeff Schwarz. There were a "number of other factors" which cannot be discussed in public.
2. Mr. David Strand is solely responsible for the decision with the knowledge and approval of BCS Chairman Clauss, (and by his own statement, Pres. Kieschnick), to the exclusion of the BCS, the Board of Directors, and the officers of the Synod, including Mr. Thomas Kuchta.
3. Responsibility for the show's deficit and its share of KFUO-AM's deficit rests with Todd Wilken and Jeff Schwarz, who were called upon to be self-supporting and yet were denied the opportunity to raise money independently.
4. The secrecy surrounding the decision is solely the result of Human Resources' employee confidentiality policy.
5. Responsibility for the ensuing controversy rests with unreasonable critics who unexpectedly exploited the scandal to attack the Synod and criticize the Kieschnick administration and its Ablaze! program.
6. Cancellation of the show during Holy Week, though regrettable, saved $5500.
7. The abruptness of the cancellation and terminations was the result of Human Resources policy and a financial exigency (extreme emergency) at KFUO-AM.

This handsome 1955 Arnolt MG certainly requires some work before getting back on the road, but with fewer than one hundred of these Bertone-bodied coupes ever built, the project is definitely worthwhile. The black/tan combo looks great, and unfortunately the seller states that the restorer passed away before the project was completed. Find it here on eBay in Washington, Missouri.
“Wacky” Arnolt was a Chicago-based distributor of MGs, as well as a manufacturer of performance parts for those MGs. Arnolt contracted Bertone to build this coupe body atop the MG TD chassis and drivetrain. A convertible was also offered. Depending on who you believe, around 103 cars were built before MG decided to stop supplying cars, due to the release of the much more advanced TF.
The seller notes that the owner of the car passed away in the midst of restoration, thus the current state of-disassembly. It appears that the bodywork is in serviceable condition, as the paintwork is a bit tired. The interior pieces appear to merely need installation. While the tan interior looks nice, the photo of the identification plates indicate that the original interior was red.
The venerable XPAG engine requires assembly, though the seller notes that said assembly can be negotiated after close of auction. That XPAG is very tuneable, so a good bit of performance can be wrung out if desired. It is said that the coupe body did not add much weight to the original MG chassis, so performance should be brisk.
This unusual hybrid should be an straightforward project for an MG enthusiast. There is plenty of work to do, but it appears all of the special pieces are intact.

LUCKNOW, India – Ten months after a mob in northern India killed a Muslim man over rumors that he had slaughtered a cow, his family faces prosecution for alleged cow slaughter following a neighbor's complaint.
Police officer Daljeet Singh says police registered a case of cow slaughter against Mohammad Akhlaq's family on Friday following a court order.
The court acted on a forensic report that said the meat found in a dustbin outside the family's home was beef or the meat of "a cow or its progeny."
The eating of beef is not a crime in Uttar Pradesh state, but slaughtering a cow carries a punishment of up to seven years in jail.
No arrests have been made so far. Yusuf Saifi, the family's attorney, said he would challenge the court's order.

Jackson opens the tour in Prague on September 7, and his people apparently think that such an historic occasion ought to have an instant monument. So local promoter Serge Grimaux suggested that a 33-foot-tall statue, used to advertise the release of HIStory last year, be put up temporarily on a cliff overlooking the Old Town in the Czech capital.
Actually, the Stalin statue hasn't occupied that spot since 1953, when he died and it was quickly pulled down. Still, many Czechs are uneasy about commercializing an historic area. Grimaux says he's now negotiating with city officials for the necessary permits. He emphasizes that Jackson is not trying to make a political statement: "I believe he is very sensitive to these kinds of things."
Jackson arrives in the Czech Republic on September 3 for an itinerary that Stalin could have related to--tours of local hospitals and orphanages--while an expected crowd of 130,000 cheers.


Commercial & Industrial Regulators
Below are regulators suitable for commercial or industrial applications such as gas engines, furnaces, burners, and boilers. Internal monitor and relief options provide the optimal degree of safety to control gas flow and are used in designs of gas engines, burners, furnaces, boilers, and burner trains. They are used in applications where safety or overpressure protection is required, such as schools and hospitals, and used in utility "Fixed Factor" metering.
The Itron B34 service regulator is versatile with a large diaphragm for commercial and industrial loads. The B34 regulator maintains proper regulation on applications where there are recurrent abrupt load changes. Rugged construction permits the basic Itron B34 regulator model to handle usages with outlet pressures of inches of w.c.-5 PSIG by merely changing the adjustment springs.
The Itron B38 service regulator is for large commercial and industrial loads. The large orifices are available (up to 1-3/8-inch) for high-capacity/low inlet pressure applications. The B38R features a vast relief capacity. All choke points in the relief flow trail are enlarged to ensure minimum pressure buildup in the event of regulator failure. The B38 removes the need for external relief valves for full capacity relief in most applications.

Judge Asked to Put NYC Drink Ban on Hold
Critics of New York City’s plan to crack down on the size of sugary drinks have asked a judge to put the rule on hold.
FOX News Radio’s Pat O’Neill reports from New York City:
Groups representing beverage companies and restaurants have filed a court request for an enforcement delay. The rule, pushed by Mayor Michael Bloomberg, would bar many eateries from selling high-sugar drinks in containers bigger than 16oz.
(Bloomberg) “In addition to the tragic human toll, obesity is placing a growing burden on public finances. Obesity costs New York City alone over $4 billion in direct medical costs each year.”
Businesses say it’s not right to make them incur the expenses of complying before there’s a decision on their lawsuit seeking to block it entirely. The rule is due to take effect on March 12th.

The US Supreme Court on Friday temporarily blocked a lower court’s order that would have banned the abortion pill mifepristone. The action means that the drug will remain available and legal under status quo regulations until the case works its way through the appeals process, which could take months.
The court’s ultimate ruling could be the most consequential decision on reproductive rights since its overturning of Roe v. Wade in June 2022.
Mifepristone has been available in the United States since 2000, when the US Food and Drug Administration approved its use. It’s the first dose of a two-drug series used in a medication abortion, which now accounts for over half of all abortions across the country. Access to medication abortion is already limited in 15 states.
But on April 7, Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk of the Northern District of Texas ruled to rescind the approval of the pill nationwide. The plaintiffs in the case, antiabortion doctors, argued that the drug is unsafe and the FDA’s authorization was improper because pregnancy is not an illness. However, the drug has a decades-long track record of safety, and a comprehensive review conducted by the National Academies of Sciences confirmed that it has a very low rate of serious complications.
The following week, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals partially blocked Kacsmaryk’s decision, allowing the pill to retain its FDA approval but rolling back several changes the agency has made in recent years to expand access to it. Among them: pandemic-era provisions that made mifepristone easier to prescribe online and distribute by mail and a 2016 change that allowed the pill to be taken up to the 10th week of pregnancy.
The US Department of Justice, acting on behalf of the FDA, and New York-based Danco Laboratories, which makes mifepristone, asked the justices to intervene. Over the past week, the Supreme Court issued two separate short-term holds as it considered the matter. The court had given itself a deadline of Wednesday by midnight to decide whether the pill would face tighter rules while an appeal moves forward, but it extended that deadline to today.
GenBioPro, the manufacturer of a generic form of mifepristone, entered the fray this week with a lawsuit against the FDA. If mifepristone’s approval is revoked, GenBioPro’s generic version would also be suspended. The company alleges that if the FDA complies with Kacsmaryk’s ruling, it would violate the established legal process for withdrawing a previously approved drug from use.
“There is a very detailed procedure of removing drugs from the market,” says Ameet Sarpatwari, a lawyer and assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School. Kacsmaryk’s ruling circumvents that established process, Sarpatwari says. Manufacturers and the FDA have removed drugs from the market before, either because of low demand or dangers to patients, but a court has never stepped in to pull a long-approved drug from use.
Pharmaceutical companies and drug manufacturers say the lower courts’ rulings represent an unprecedented intrusion into the authority of the FDA. The agency is tasked with reviewing, approving, and regulating drugs for their safety and efficacy. They say if mifepristone is banned or restricted, it puts other drugs in danger, particularly ones vulnerable to political pushback, such as hormonal birth control, preventive HIV drugs, and vaccines.
More than 600 executives from biotech and pharmaceutical companies have signed a letter warning that pulling mifepristone off the market would have a chilling effect on innovation. Companies often spend billions of dollars to get a drug through the development pipeline, and they would hate to have their investment quashed by the courts. “You could see decreased investment because of uncertainty as to whether or not courts are going to take action on decades-old drugs,” Sarpatwari says.

A Cynical Senator Grassley Aids and Abets the Cornyn Con
The following is a statement from Frank Sharry, Executive Director of America’s Voice Education fund, regarding the legislative proposal introduced today by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and co-sponsored by John Cornyn (R-TX), Thom Tillis (R-NC), James Lankford (R-OK.), Tom Cotton (R-AK) and David Perdue (R-GA):
Senator Charles Grassley (R-IA) and Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) introduced a bill today that pretends to deal with the Dreamer crisis. Their true intent is to block bipartisan efforts to solve it.
Their proposal is a witch’s brew of nativist poison pills topped by a stingy, temporary three-year reprieve for those with DACA. Put bluntly, the Grassley-Cornyn bill says, “give us everything we want in exchange for almost nothing you want, deal?”
This is a con job to derail relief for Dreamers. Earlier today we called out the Cornyn Con. It’s a pattern well-established over the last decade by Senator Cornyn when it comes to immigration reform measures: Cornyn pretends he wants to help immigrants and to get immigration reform enacted; he convinces some of his fellow Republicans that he’s acting in good faith; he makes sure that Democrats can never agree to his demands; he then proclaims that Democrats are demanding too much and tries to take as many Republicans with him as possible in an effort to blow up any prospect of a bipartisan breakthrough. He’s done this repeatedly for over a decade.
The Grassley bill is right out of this Cornyn Con playbook. Cornyn and Grassley met with Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) just to say they did. But their goal is not a bipartisan breakthrough; it’s to consolidate Republican support for a proposal clearly unacceptable to Democrats. This isn’t about teeing up legislation, it’s about teeing up the blame game. This is what Americans hate about politicians: they pretend to want a solution when their intention is to block one.
We are confident that those serious about solving the crisis will ignore the Grassley-Cornyn maneuver and instead focus on a bipartisan approach that actually enacts the Dream Act and can be included on must-pass legislation by the end of the year. Anything less would be an error of historic proportions.


Greece’s Eurobank to seek big participation of investors in recap
Oct 31 Eurobank, Greece’s third-largest lender by assets, will try to maximise the participation of private investors in its recapitalisation, an official at the bank said on Saturday after the release of the European Central Bank’s stress tests.
The official said the ECB’s health check showed that Eurobank has the lowest capital shortfall – 2.12 billion euros – under the adverse scenario among the four systemic banks.
“Eurobank will seek the largest participation of high-quality private funds, turning to existing and new investors, aiming at its full capital shielding,” the official said.

Title - 'Pass It Around' (Lost Highway)
Artist - Donavon Frankenreiter
Donavon Frankenreiter, a renowned surfer turned musician, who is hands down as talented on a guitar and mic., as he is on a surfboard, but Donavon's great acoustic styling's and mellow harmonies have always resembled the sounds of his great Friend Jack Johnson. In the making of this album Donavon took the experiences and wisdom gained along the way and evolved as an artist, Donavon put his heart and soul in creating and co-writing this album, in the quest of finding his musical identity.
Not taking away his signature sounds of acoustic and electric elements of funky & fresh beats along with honest lyrics of his past recordings, but growing from it and introducing a new approach of delivering it; which in result, is an album filled with soulful melodies, uplifting grooves and some lessons for life.
Donavon's signature raspy & mellow voice always so full of passion, you can clearly see and feel his love for music. The talent and relationship with in the members of the band harmonizes every song perfectly. From the punchy mariachi horns of "Your Heart" to the pop sensibilities of "Life, Love & Laughter" to the laid-back funk of "Hit the Ground Running" and "Too Much Water."
Donavon's newfound musical confidence in "Pass it Around" finally breaks away the Jack Johnson redundancy, which has followed his music for the last two albums and introduces us to Donavon's newfound identity. Pass It Around is a testament to Frankenreiter's continuing evolution as an artist.

Last week one of my fellow PS23 contributors sent me one of those annoying Facebook challenges, in this case it was to post a picture of a book that influenced my life, with no explanation, for 5 days. And while, as a rule, I find things like this annoying, and ignore them, in this case I was intrigued to think through the five books that impacted my life. I’m a book guy, I always have been (even as a hard partying unbeliever and even as a child) so it was an interesting exercise to think through the 5 books that really affected my life.… Continue reading
Last year I posted here some recommendations for commentaries and other book sets people might want to buy for that pastor or seminary student in their life. It was in no particular order and it wasn’t exhaustive.
Two things happened again this year: people started sending me notes asking about this or that book as a gift and I also received my shipment of books from the Evangelical Publishing Association. I’m a judge in the Bible and Reference section for their annual Gold Medallion Awards (and I have been for about 15 years). Questions and these new additions to commentary series stimulated me to create some additions to last years sampling.… Continue reading
Of the books I had the opportunity to read this year, Iain Murray’s The Forgotten Spurgeon stands out among them. Every time I read a book by Murray, I am greatly edified, and this time was no exception. At this point, it was the book I gained the most from reading in 2016. So, in this post I’d like to share some of the primary lessons I learned from it.
Originally published in 1966, The Forgotten Spurgeon looks to the controlling center of life and doctrine of Charles Haddon Spurgeon; the great Calvinistic, Baptist, Evangelical preacher of 19th C.… Continue reading
I recently splurged. I shelled out the $300 dollars for Crossways new deluxe six volume leather-bound reader’s edition of the ESV. I actually pre-ordered it and while I was waiting for it, I read numerous rave reviews of it that really whet my appetite. And somewhere along the way it occurred to me that none of those reviews came from anyone who plunked down their own hard earned money for the set, and I thought it might be worthwhile to add something that is missing from the conversation, a paying customer’s review of the ESV Reader’s Edition Set.
Now before we get started, we need to say a little something about the “paying” part of paying customer. … Continue reading
Every morning I start the day the same way, I take my dog, Buster, for a walk, and on the way in, I pick up the previous day’s mail. Most days I carry a ton of junk mail right to the garbage can. I find it puzzling that so many businesses/ministries/non-profits/politicians invest in mailings that in most homes go directly in the round file, but I don’t really care much about it. At worst junk mail is mostly innocuous, if somewhat annoying. But there is one thing that shows up with great regularity that I find truly offensive. It is a catalogue, it is a catalogue that promotes sin, it is a catalogue that attacks the very foundation of the Christian life, and it is a catalogue, that as a shepherd of God’s people, quite frankly makes my blood boil.… Continue reading
