VISIGOTHS, Gaul. Uncertain king, circa mid-late 5th century. Solidus (Gold, 21 mm, 4.41 g, 7 h), imitating Ravenna, in the name of Valentinianus III (425-455). D N PLA VALENTI-NIANVS P F AVG Rosette-diademed, draped and cuirassed bust of Valentinian III to right, crowned by manus Dei (sic!). Rev. VICTORI-A AVGGG / R-V / COMOB Valentinian III standing facing, placing his right foot on head of human-headed coiled serpent and holding long cross with his right hand and Victory on globe in his left. CNG E-Auction 430 (2018), 445 (for a similar imitation of differing style). RIC -, cf. 3712 (for official type without manus Dei). Very rare. Minor areas of weakness, otherwise, good very fine.
From the Maggiore Collection, formed in the late 1970s to early 2000s.
This curious Visigothic imitation adds Galla Placidia's manus Dei to Valentinian's portrait, making it clear that the 'pellet-in-crescent' on the piece in CNG E-Auction 430 (2018), 445 is actually also meant to be the hand of god.

Montreal-North is Burning
Posted by Jack Stephens on August 19, 2008
Montreal-North is burning. After the murder of Fredy Villenueva by the Montreal Police (SPVM), and the riots which broke out to express the people’s anger, the community of Montreal-North remains angry. The time has come to organize a social and political offensive against the local elites who are trying to cover up this state of affairs.
Montréal-Nord Republik (Montreal North Republik) is a new voice in the neighbourhood. It intends to put forward another view of the recent events around the death of Fredy Villanueva and the riots which took place in Montreal North. The group also intends to dispute the dominant discourse which is insinuating that the rioters and protesters are just apolitical hooligans. Montréal-Nord Republik hopes to bring together the neighbourhood community along with all the population of Montreal in order to denounce police repression as well as economic, social, cultural and political oppression.

The Histories and Cultures of Evidence Utilisation: The Cases of Medical Oncology and Haematology
As outlined in our introduction to this book, the idea of EBM or EBP, for biomedical clinicians, is to apply the best evidence to the clinical condition they are presented with. However, while EBM may seem to be mere commonsense, in actuality, and particularly in the context of specialties like medical oncology and haematology, it presents a plethora of ideological, epistemological and practical issues. We argue here that for oncology clinicians operating at a grassroots level there is often a disconnection between EBM (and processes of standardisation) and the actual character of contemporary oncological work (De Vries and Lemmens 2006). Furthermore, the very value judgements and subjectivities that often go unrecognised in an EBM framework are actually critically important skills in oncology and haematology practice (Tredaniel et al. 2005). In oncology such disjunctions are accentuated with the constant development of new interventions (Ioannidis, Schmid and Lau 2000) combined with the omnipresent need to ‘try new things’ with potentially terminal patients where standard treatments do not work.

THURROCK’S Labour candidate for MP, Polly Billington has given a cautious welcome to the £80 million pound investment into Thurrock but believes so much more could have been achieved.
Ms Billington said: “Much as we all welcome the investment that will be coming our way from the Local Growth Fund to widen the A13, the government has missed a number of tricks. The development of Purfleet town, Grays town centre and transport improvements for Lakeside all missed out on government funding, in the announcement made this week.
“And this is despite the fact these projects already have local council support and financial backing from the private sector. The development of a new Purfleet town centre, with film and TV studios is a genuinely exciting prospect they should be supporting. Ambitious and exciting plans to expand Lakeside need better transport links to ensure success: without government support this will take longer.
“The Tory-led government has also chosen not to support the planned improvements to Grays town centre, including the road layout, access to the rail station and replacing the dangerous and outdated level crossing.
“Thurrock is a growing community with ambition, which has been let down by this government. It is a shame that the Conservative MP is failing to persuade her own government to support the community she is elected to represent.
The fact is Purfleet Grays and Lakeside all need government support so that our ambitions for our community succeed. This is a real miss by the government, and suggests the local Conservative MP hasn’t been speaking up for Thurrock.

text: Frederick Delius' instinctive feel for Negro music and the use he made of it--as Mrs. Jahoda points out, it was he, not Gershwin, who wrote the first Negro opera--give him a particular pertinence; his incredibly crowded, precipitous, poignant life makes him a natural for biography regardless. His father, a prosperous Yorkshire wool merchant of German origin, was contemptuous of his absorption in music; he would never be a composer, Delius, Sr. said, and to the end his mother never acknowledged that he was. After a few years of parrying--Fritz neglecting business for music in England, Germany, Norway, France--the two settled on a scheme for Fritz to grow oranges in Florida: he would be busy and away from music. But Solano Grove turned out to be a jungle, its only yield the songs of the Negro tenant family which Fritz, in a moment of ""illumination,"" took as the key to his life's work. The American period--faced with an ultimatum from his father, Delius supported himself as violin teacher and Sabbath Cantor in roaring (1885) Jacksonville, as ""Celebrated Professor"" of almost everything at a girls' academy in Danville, Va.--has a vitality only slightly diminished by the author's decorousness. A quality you appreciate when, after his belated recognition, Delius becomes a blind paralytic, then, sheltered by his wife and assisted by a young English musician, rallies to dictate music again. Mrs. Jahoda has gone to the sources and knows music; hers, moreover, is the only Delius biography by an ""outsider."" Whether for adults or young people (who may need some encouragement), it should be a revelation; it is certainly a tribute to tenacity.

Canadian Gold mining company Argonaut Gold (TSX:AR) has recorded an increase of 57% in gold production in the second quarter. Argonaut produced 10,062 oz of gold during this time frame.
The Toronto based gold miner owns and operates the El Castillo mine located 100km north of Durango in Mexico as well as other exploration projects in Mexico and Guatemala.
Argonaut Gold is spending close to $20 million to boost production at the mine. With the increase in mining operations the company has also increased its output forecast to 47,000 oz of gold for 2010. They expect to replace the crusher circuit on the west side of the El Castillo mine with a larger crusher. The new crusher is expected to triple the crushing capacity of the mine on the west side.
Also aiding the higher gold production will be a soon to be completed 10 million ton heap leach capacity expansion. A new modern facility has been installed to improve flow rates in the processing plant at the mine as well.
Argonaut Gold bought Castle Gold in February this year. Castle Gold originally owned the El Castillo mine and also had a 50% interest in the El Saste gold mine in Guatemala.

06 May 2009 20:57 [Source: ICIS news]
HOUSTON (ICIS news)--LyondellBasell in March produced 65% of its US Gulf ethylene from natural gas liquids (NGL) and plans to feed an even higher percentage in April and May in anticipation of continued cost advantages over naphtha, company officials said on Wednesday.
“We bet on the restart of our LaPorte plant, shifted the system more towards [light feeds] and we are increasing flexibility in our heavy liquid crackers,” COO Ed Dineen said in a conference call with investors.
“In general, for the near- and maybe even medium-term we expect lights to be favoured over heavies,” he added.
In addition to closing its Chocolate Bayou cracker in Texas, LyondellBasell has increased ethane usage at units at Corpus Christi and Channelview, Texas.
Also, the company’s main naphtha supplier was working to improve the competitiveness of supply, Dineen said.
Ethane prices have risen in the past month, despite natural gas prices holding at low levels.
The NYMEX Mont Belvieu ethane contract for June closed at 40.19 cents/gal on 5 May, up from prices around 35 cents/gal a month earlier.
Excluding the shuttered Chocolate Bayou plant, LyondellBasell’s US olefins units operated at more than 90% of capacity in March, according to company officials.
Major US producers of ethylene include Dow, ExxonMobil and INEOS.

I will be spending a month in Thailand and want to know if I will be spending my time wisely, since this will be my last stop on my 3 month trip to SEA I want to spend a lot of relaxing time at beaches (including learning to dive in Ko Tao ), as well as some trekking in Chaing Mai, and at least at one point during my trip run into some elephants.
I was thinking of taking the time I've put for Ko Samet and adding it somewhere else, cause I will already be spending a lot of time at other beaches and it just seems like a lot of time that I could be using else where figuring as I just wanted to utilize the last few days to stick close to Bangkok.
Pnom Penh > (1h Plane) Bangkok [21st] Bangkok > (12h Sleeper Train) Chiang Mai [22nd, 23rd, 24th, 25th, 26th]
Chiang Mai > (12h Train) Bangkok > (8h Sleeper Train) Chumphon [27th]
Chumphon > (3h Boat) Ko Tao [27th, 28th, 29th, 30th, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th]
Ko Tao > (2h45 Boat) Ko Samui [6th, 7th, 8th]
Ko Samui > (h30 Boat) Ko Pha Ngan [8th, 9th, 10th(Full Moon Party), 11th,]
Ko Pha Ngan > (1h30 Boat) Ko Tao > (3h Boat) Chumphon > (8h Sleeper Train) Bangkok [13th]
Bangkok > (3h Bus) Ban Phe > (1h Boat) Ko Samet [13th, 14th, 15th, 16th]
Ko Samet > (1h Boat) Ban Phe > (3h Bus) Bangkok (17th, 18th]
Bangkok > (1h30 Plane) HCMC > Home
You plan looks fine based on the things you've said you want to do. I'd recommend booking your sleeper train travel as soon as possible to make sure you get the dates and times you wish. Rather than taking the 12-hour train ride back to Bangkok from Chiang Mai , I'd fly instead, particularly if you are just getting on another train for the ride to Chumphon. If it is still an option, you might consider a flight from Chiang Mai to Don Muang (rather than Swampy), as that will put you on the train line for an easy ride to Hualamphong train station and the connection to Chumphon.
Also, agree that making your way to Ko Samet won't be your best option. Why leave a great beach and spend the time and money just to get to another beach that may not even be as good as where you are? Just spend those extra days and money where you are on the gulf islands. If you wind up with extra time at the end of the trip, there are always places like Kanchanaburi and Ayutthaya as quick and easy trips out of Bangkok before flying to HCMC.
Hope that helps. Have fun. Cheers.

Laetrile, also known as Vitamin B17 or Amygdalin, is a natural substance found in many fruits and seeds, particularly in the pits of apricots, peaches, and apples. It has been studied for its potential health benefits and has gained popularity in the alternative medicine community.
One of the main claims about laetrile is that it can prevent and treat cancer. Proponents of laetrile believe that it can selectively target and destroy cancer cells without harming healthy cells. However, there is limited scientific evidence to support these claims, and the use of laetrile as a cancer treatment is not approved by the medical community.
Despite the lack of scientific evidence, laetrile has been praised for its potential antioxidant properties. It contains cyanide, which some believe may help protect against oxidative stress and reduce the risk of chronic diseases, such as heart disease and diabetes. However, it is important to note that the cyanide content in laetrile is considered toxic and potentially harmful to human health.
If you are interested in incorporating laetrile into your diet, it is important to know where to find it. Apricot kernels are one of the richest sources of laetrile, and they can be consumed raw, cooked, or ground into a powder. Other sources of laetrile include apple seeds, peach pits, and bitter almonds. However, it is crucial to consume these foods in moderation due to their potentially toxic cyanide content.
In conclusion, laetrile, also known as Vitamin B17 or Amygdalin, is a natural substance found in certain fruits and seeds. While it has been studied for its potential health benefits, particularly in cancer treatment, there is limited scientific evidence to support its efficacy. If you are considering incorporating laetrile into your diet, always consult with a healthcare professional and consume it in moderation to minimize the risk of toxicity.

By 1966, most of the band members including Alan Price of Alan Prince Combo left the band to start is solo career. Eric Burdon took the reins and started reforming the band with new band members.

Eric Burdon and the Animals
Eric Burdon and the Animals that were an instant hit included singles “Bring It on Home to Me”, “The House of the Rising Sun”, “Sky Pilot”. “Boom Boom”, “It’s My Life”, “I’m Crying”, “See See Rider” and “Monterey”. They were named “animals” because of their intense and wild stage performances as well as unique get ups, which was unusual during that era. Throughout the career Eric Burdon and the Animals have been known for their bluesy and gritty music. The band went through numerous changes as well as break ups and reunions. When they moved to California in they found their real mainstream commercial success. They took up the genre of “psychedelic band”. The group managed to have ten of their songs in the Top Twenty in both the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and UK Singles Chart.
At first Eric Burdon and the Animals was under the contract with “Brill Building” which wasn’t providing with enough artistic freedom, much to the annoyance of Burdon. They broke their contract and joined “Decca Records” by the end of 1965. They signed with “MGM Records” for US and Canada. In the start of 1966, they released their hit singles in the album “The Best of the Animals” which turned out to be their best selling album in America. The last hit before their first break up was “Don’t Bring Me Down”. After it Eric Burdon went solo and released his album “Eric Is Here”. The album included hit song “Help Me, Girl”. The album was Eric’s last contract with Decca Records.
Eric Burdon and the Animals was reunited in 1968 with the line-up including Eric Burdon himself with Price, Chandler, Valentine and Steel to participate in a benefit concert at Newcastle. In 1975 they got together to remake The Animals and bring the music back to the stage. They arranged a tour and released the album “Before We Were So Rudely Interrupted”. This short reunion ended shortly afterwards and even today Burdon says that he still wonders what made them get together for that short time again. However, the band reunited once again with Eric Burdon and Alan Price to release “Ark” and went on a world tour. Their tours had stuff including songs since their first incarnation. They released their live album by the name “Last Live Show” and when Chas Chandler died, it brought the final dead end for the band, never to be reunited again.
The original line-up of The Animals was enshrined in “Rock and Roll Hall of Fame” in 1994. The top bands and singers of today such as “Bon Jovi”, “The Doors”, “Bruce Springsteen”, “The Cult”, “The While Stripes”, “The Chocolate Watch Band” and “Janis Jopling” are influenced by Eric Burdon and the Animals. Eric Burdon was included in the list of “100 Greatest Singers of All Time” by Rolling Stone at #57. Burdon still performs with supporting band live on stage.

Know which NBA team has scored the most points in an NBA half.
The Phoenix Suns‘ record-breaking 107-point performance against the Denver Nuggets on November 10, 1990, was the most points ever scored by a team in an NBA half. The Suns scored 173 points in total, compared to the Nuggets’ 143 points, to win the game.
With Cedric Ceballos scoring 32 points off the bench, the Suns had 5 players with 20 or more points.
The fact that Cedric’s off the bench 32, as previously mentioned, was the top score attained by a player in Phoenix makes this accomplishment all the more amazing.

” Therapy can be frightening, particularly for a lot of newbie customers. Text-based interaction (texting and live-chat sessions) are a great method to take a few of the anxiety out of beginning treatment and help clients dive into the procedure,” says James Imrie, the innovative and marketing manager at.
Is com legit?

From the age of about 13 onwards, I’ve suffered from higher-than-seems-normal levels of stress and anxiety, and while I’ve mainly come to terms with being jittery and a bit doomy, I certainly would not mind being less so. I’ve had counselling before, and it does help.
And drawing back from my own (relatively subtle) problems for a moment, could e-counselling be the answer to the psychological health concerns intensifying amongst under-30s? With cuts to mental health services really starting to bite, digitised treatment could be just the ticket for young adults who already filter almost every element of their lives– buddies, work, sex, entertainment– through a screen.
Not everyone is totally encouraged that moving mental health care online is the way forward. “You get to understand not only what it’s like to talk to the individual, however how it feels to be in a space with them.
” I’ve carried out some research study into Skype counselling,” states London-based psychotherapist Dr Aaron Balick, “and it’s not the ‘practical equivalent’ of traditional counselling; it’s just not quite the exact same thing. It’s actually crucial that individuals who take part in it are aware that it’s a various experience from being in the room with somebody, speaking face-to-face.”
” In regards to availability, it’s an excellent start and certainly better than nothing. It’ll hopefully lead them to ultimately appearing in the space. However, if you’re struggling with relationship issues, accessory issues, or deeper concerns, it’s much better to be in the space with somebody. Skype and the internet uses a distance from your counsellor that might not be handy.”
In cases of mild depression, the NHS is now directing some clients towards online programmes instead of face-to-face counselling, a phenomenon that concerns Dr Balick.
” My worry is that it’s taking place more and more for economic reasons, instead of since it’s what’s best for people. That’s not good if it’s rolled out simply to conserve money and there aren’t critical concerns being asked about these services. However then, I’m constantly very sceptical of people who are either really really pro or extremely very versus online psychological healthcare. It’s a case of asking the right questions.”
I signed up for four very various online psychological health services– ranging in expense from complimentary to , 100 a month– and ran my stress and anxieties through them all, simultaneously, for a week. Here’s what I discovered.

In the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, the pursuit of emotional well-being often takes a back seat. However, the importance of emotional well-being practices cannot be overstated. In this article, we will explore the transformative power of incorporating intentional practices into our lives that nurture and sustain our emotional health.
Understanding Emotional Well-Being
Emotional well-being encompasses more than just the absence of negative emotions; it involves actively cultivating positive feelings, resilience, and a sense of balance in the face of life’s challenges. This holistic approach to emotional health recognizes the interconnectedness of our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. By adopting practices that foster emotional well-being, individuals can build a foundation for a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
- Mindfulness Meditation: A Path to Present Living
Mindfulness meditation has emerged as a cornerstone of emotional well-being practices, offering a way to anchor ourselves in the present moment. This practice involves paying attention to thoughts and feelings without judgment, fostering a deep awareness of our inner experiences. Research has shown that regular mindfulness meditation can reduce stress, anxiety, and symptoms of depression while enhancing overall emotional resilience. Integrating mindfulness into your daily routine, even for a few minutes each day, can yield profound benefits for emotional well-being.
- Gratitude Journaling: A Daily Dose of Positivity
In the fast-paced world we inhabit, it’s easy to overlook the positive aspects of life. Gratitude journaling is a simple yet powerful practice that involves regularly noting down things we are grateful for. This practice shifts our focus from what’s lacking to what’s abundant in our lives. Studies indicate that maintaining a gratitude journal can lead to improved mood, increased life satisfaction, and a greater sense of well-being. Cultivating gratitude becomes a habit that actively contributes to our emotional health.
- Connection and Social Support: The Heartbeat of Well-Being
Human beings are inherently social creatures, and fostering meaningful connections is fundamental to emotional well-being. Whether through family, friends, or community, engaging in positive social interactions provides emotional support and a sense of belonging. Actively nurturing relationships, spending quality time with loved ones, and seeking support when needed contribute to a robust emotional support system. Prioritizing social connections is a powerful practice for enhancing emotional well-being.
- Emotional Expression: The Art of Authenticity
Emotional well-being practices extend to the art of emotional expression. Holding in emotions can lead to increased stress and internal turmoil. Finding healthy outlets for self-expression, such as through art, writing, or open conversations, allows us to acknowledge and process our feelings. Authentic expression fosters emotional clarity and resilience, enabling us to navigate life’s ups and downs with greater ease. Embracing the authenticity of our emotions is a transformative practice for emotional well-being.
- Self-Compassion: A Gentle Path to Inner Harmony
In the pursuit of emotional well-being, it’s crucial to cultivate self-compassion—a practice of treating oneself with kindness and understanding, especially in challenging times. Rather than harsh self-criticism, self-compassion involves acknowledging our struggles with a gentle and supportive attitude. Research indicates that individuals practicing self-compassion experience lower levels of anxiety and depression and higher levels of life satisfaction. Embracing self-compassion is an essential component of holistic emotional well-being.
Incorporating Emotional Well-Being Practices into Daily Life
- Create a Mindfulness Routine: Start your day with a brief mindfulness meditation. Set aside a few minutes to focus on your breath, sensations, or a guided meditation to ground yourself in the present moment.
- Initiate a Gratitude Ritual: Dedicate a few moments each day to jot down three things you are grateful for in a gratitude journal. This practice encourages a positive mindset and shifts your focus to the abundance in your life.
- Schedule Social Time: Prioritize social connections by scheduling regular time with friends or family. Whether it’s a phone call, a coffee date, or a social event, nurturing relationships is a proactive step toward emotional well-being.
- Express Yourself Creatively: Engage in a creative outlet that allows for emotional expression. Whether it’s journaling, painting, or playing a musical instrument, find a medium that resonates with you and facilitates authentic self-expression.
- Practice Self-Compassion Daily: Develop a habit of treating yourself with the same kindness and understanding you would offer a friend facing challenges. When faced with difficulties, ask yourself, “What would I say to a friend in this situation?” and extend that same compassion to yourself.
In the tapestry of life, emotional well-being practices form a vibrant thread that enriches the fabric of our existence. From mindfulness meditation and gratitude journaling to fostering connections, expressing emotions authentically, and embracing self-compassion, these practices weave a narrative of resilience, balance, and fulfillment. By integrating these intentional practices into our daily lives, we embark on a journey toward emotional well-being—a journey that nourishes the soul and transforms the way we experience and navigate the world. So, let the art of emotional well-being become a guiding compass on your path to a more fulfilling and vibrant life.

MOSCOW, May 26. /TASS/. The Black Sea Fleet’s reconnaissance ship, the Ivan Khurs, which repelled a surface drone attack in the Bosporus Strait’s waters, will continue its mission after replenishing its supplies, the Russian Defense Ministry said in a statement on Friday.
"The crew of the Black Sea Fleet’s medium reconnaissance ship, the Ivan Khurs, has completed its planned passage from the mission area to its point of permanent deployment in Sevastopol, where the ship will replenish its supplies and then continue on with its assigned missions," the statement reads.
The Ivan Khurs was attacked by three Ukrainian unmanned speedboats 140 kilometers northeast of the Bosporus Strait on May 24. The boats were destroyed by the ship’s standard weapons.
Since late April 2023, the vessel had been carrying out the tasks of ensuring the safety of the TurkStream and Blue Stream gas pipelines in Turkey’s exclusive economic zone, additionally monitoring the surface situation in the southwestern part of the Black Sea in order to ensure safe navigation as part of the grain deal.

Berkner High School Mighty Ram Band
Texas Stadium, Dallas, Texas
This is the current group record--242 phooners!
"The Mighty Ram Band of Berkner High School of Richardson, Texas, spells 'Berkner' during
halftime. (Our football team made the 3rd round of the playoffs--a school record.)
"Our band director decided it would be fun to try to beat last year's group Phoon record
this year at the football game. (What a contrast to what the band director said last
"I was a drum major (I'm in the white at bottom left) and did what I could to emphasize
proper pose: we posted pictures of last year's Phoon photo, my Phoon photo from two years
ago, and your instructions on proper pose--we were determined to get the entire band to
look great." --John

A Comparison of All Portugal Visa Types
With several visa types available in Portugal, which one is the correct option for you? This guide will list all the options and explain what each one is for.
Are you wondering how the Portugal family reunion visa works? You've come to the right place. Click here for a detailed guide.
The general rule of thumb is that if you’re planning on staying in Portugal for more than three months, you must apply for a Portuguese residence permit or a residence visa depending on what you’re staying for. Once you’ve been residing in Portugal with an appropriate residence permit for five years, you can then apply for permanent residency or Portuguese citizenship. We’ll be talking about residency and citizenship in the next chapter.
As we mentioned in the previous chapter, there’s a very significant difference between obtaining and carrying a visa in Portugal and obtaining and carrying a residence permit. While you don’t need a visa to enter the country and visit for a while, a residence visa is required if you plan to live, work, or attend an educational institution within the country for an extended period of time.

PAMELA Rodriguez was in tears. A "born-again" Christian who is a
social worker in Los Angeles, Ms. Rodriguez was asked by a welfare
client for a voucher to fund an abortion. Feeling she could not
participate, Rodriguez lined up two colleagues to issue the voucher
Rodriguez's boss, however, was unsympathetic to her religious
concerns. Issue the voucher, she told her, or face disciplinary
action. She did so - but also filed suit against Los Angeles County
for religious discrimination.
The Rodriguez suit is one of a growing number of
religious-discrimination claims arising in the workplace.
The trend is being driven in part by an increasing desire among
workers to pray quietly, request religious holidays, and keep
religious literature at the office - as well as a growing awareness
of their rights to do so.
Recent cases range from a pizza delivery woman fired because she
would not give up her Sunday school class to a prison teacher let
go for keeping a Bible on his desk. The Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission in Washington reports a 31 percent increase
in religious-discrimination complaints since 1990 as employees and
employers add religious issues to the more familiar areas of race
and gender discrimination. Yet Congress, the courts, and federal
agencies are facing an area of civil rights law that is still quite
Workplace issues are not a main focus of the conservative
religious liberty movement in America, which has concentrated on
overturning laws and Supreme Court decisions concerning abortion,
and the separation of church and state.
By contrast, evangelicals, religious liberals, and Jewish and
Muslim groups are becoming more assertive on workplace rights, and
have championed anti-discrimination and religious accommodation
The Sabbath day
Time off for Sabbath, or religious holidays, tops the list of
employee grievances. Under current law, an employer does not have
to accommodate an employee's religious plea if doing so creates an
"undue hardship" for the business. What persons of faith are
discovering, however, is that an employer must "prove" such
"If an employer just comes out and says 'Sorry, we have a policy
about the Sabbath,' that is not compliance," says Richard Foltin of
the American Jewish Committee in Washington.
A greater awareness of civil rights, rather than an increase in
discrimination, is bringing out the devout, say advocates. Many
cases are now settled by mediation, says Ann-Marie Amiel of the
Rutherford Institute in Charlottesville, Va., which offers legal
assistance to religious groups.
"Religious employees haven't realized until now that they have
the same rights as the non-religious employee," she says. …

“We should be careful and try to solve the internal problems by relying on own capabilities and following the instructions of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution,” Sedighi said, as quoted by the Mehr News Agency.
In particular, the cleric reportedly said that, while the United States openly demonstrated its hostility toward Iran, the European Union might practice policy of deception and let Tehran down at a difficult period.
Commenting on the recent US designation of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organization, he said that the move had only made the national armed forces more united and raised their prestige in public opinion.
Last week, Washington formally named Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a foreign terrorist organisation. Following the announcement, US Acting Assistant Secretary of Near Eastern Affairs David Satterfield said that the United States' move was not an indication of an upcoming conflict or war with Iran.
Reacting to the move, Iran, in its turn, designated the US Central Command (CENTCOM) as a terrorist organisation.
The European Union, along with the other signatories to the deal, has slammed the move, pledging to continue cooperation with Iran and setting up a special mechanism to bypass the sanctions.

Artisan vegan butter? Ok, real talk. Before making this I never thought “artisan” was a word that would enter my vocabulary. When talking about food no less! Because I always associated “artisan” food with someone more (insert myriad of adjectives here: grown-uppy, sophisticated, chef-y, skilled).
But no. I get it now. This could just be called vegan butter. But it needs to be described as artisan. Not because I’m a finely skilled maker of vegan butter. Because I’m not. This was my first time making it. Or because I suddenly “grew-up”. Because I will forever be playing grown up (I’m a child inside, see this post, 12th picture down).
But because when I first tasted this creamy vegan butter, I could picture myself on a French country hillside. Surrounded by sweetly scented wildflowers. Spreading this lush butter on a crusty baguette. Eating it with fresh juicy apricots and pears so ripe that the sticky sweet juices coat my hand.
A glass of wine in hand (and I don’t even drink!). The setting sun’s last rays casting long shadows across the small rustic wooden dinner table covered with breadcrumbs. My butter knife clinking against the plate as I repeatedly pick it up and put it down to have more of this creamy white butter. Maybe Yann Tierson is there playing some classical French jams with an accordion. You know, because all my French imagery comes from movies with a soundtrack.
So that. That is why this butter is not just vegan butter, but artisan vegan butter. If Earth Balance is currently your butter of choice. Trust me. You will be blown away by how delicious this is. Butter will go from just something you spread on stuff to its own separate food group.
It’s also incredibly easy to make this coconut oil based butter at home. This was my first ever attempt at making butter and it came out perfectly. I’m at the moment really in love with the idea of buying less staples like this and making it myself. I have aspirations of being a vegan homesteader you see. But a lazy one. This vegan butter recipe fits the bill. The recipe is from Miyoko Schinner at Artisan Vegan Life and was posted as a video by Richgail at ASTIG Vegan.
Artisan Vegan Butter by Miyoko Schinner
posted with permission from Miyoko Schinner.
- 1 cup of REFINED* organic coconut oil, liquified
- 1/2 cup almond milk (or any non-dairy milk)
- 1/4 cup canola oil (or any mild oil)
- 1 1/2 tsp of lecithin granules (Miyoko uses 2 tsp of liquid lecithin but I only had granules)
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 1/2-1 tsp salt
* refined coconut oil will not give the butter a coconut flavor/scent
Throw everything into a blender and blend for about one minute to ensure that the liquid stuff is properly blended with the oils (that is what the lecithin is for). Pour into a container and let set in the fridge.
Ours has kept well for a couple of weeks in a mason jar. Here I put it on fresh-from-the-oven skillet cornbread (from Veganomicon). I don’t normally use that much butter on a single piece of cornbread, but I wanted to make sure you could actually see it (did you know it’s really hard to photograph melting butter?). It spreads easily and melts nicely when spread on hot food stuffs.
In the original video, Miyoko mentions that this butter is extremely customizable. Just imagine. You can whip it, make it thicker, make it thinner, incorporate herbs and flavors, make it less salty or more salty…
After having made this, I am now anxious to get my hands on Miyoko’s book, Artisan vegan Cheeses. Now excuse me, I must go find something else to eat with this butter. Oooh la la!

InSITE awards funds to young adults who have aged out of Marion County foster care
Ron White, 21, spent his teens in foster care.
He lived with two families and spent time in four group homes.
He still sees one of the families every weekend but said, "I always told myself it could only get better. I only looked to the future."
InSITE, a new scholarship program headed by Lorraine Abruzzo, awards funds to young adults like White who have aged out of Marion County foster care services and are attempting to forge their own way in the world.
"All of these kids are so positive," Abruzzo said. "They're looking to help themselves."
The program, which registered for nonprofit status three months ago, raises money to fund the applicants' tuition and living expenses.
Many of the applicants, who must be 18 to 25 years old, attend Central Florida Community College.
Others are looking for ways to afford a four-year degree, and still others have said they hope to get a master's degree one day.
"We'll give them the money to go to Harvard if they want to," Abruzzo said.
On Dec. 6, the day was sunny and clear for InSITE's first fundraiser.
Hartley/DeRenzo Thoroughbreds hosted a stallion show, and volunteers set up a few tables for a silent auction to benefit InSITE.
The National Association of Two-Year-Old Consigners also agreed to donate 20 percent of the day's profits and the Florida Horsemen contributed a sum.
Several of the young people being considered for scholarships attended, mixing with the rest of the crowd.
The show helped the new nonprofit raise more than $30,000.
Abruzzo said she'd been considering starting a charity for some time, but hadn't been sure where to direct her efforts.
In August, she picked up a copy of a magazine and read an article about local young people who aged out of the foster care system.
"It was absolutely disheartening to hear about these kids all on their own," Abruzzo said.
In October, she went to a board meeting of Kids Central, a nonprofit that runs the county's Independent Living Program for foster children, with the idea of setting up a scholarship fund.
"They were thrilled," she said.
The Kids Central's program helps former foster children find apartments and jobs, teaches them leadership skills and encourages them to attend college.
They can stay with the program until they earn two vocational certificates or a bachelor's degree, or until they reach the age of 23.
Kids Central also started a Youth Advisory Council in the past year, made up of foster children who aged out of the system and are now attending college.
Antron McCullough, Ron White and N-Kitta Chalmers work part time on the council as peer mentors, helping teenage foster children make life decisions.
"When I talk to the kids I try to act like a big brother .●.●. They think I'm related to Ron White [the comedian]," White said with a chuckle. "I tell them he's my uncle."
All three members of the council qualify for InSITE scholarships.
To receive one, young people must have aged out of the foster care system in Marion County.
To keep it, they must maintain at least a 2.5 grade point average at college.
They can use the money however they'd like.
Abruzzo isn't sure how much each scholarship will be worth, but depending on the success of fundraising, she said she hopes InSITE will be able to give at least $1,000 to every applicant who meets the basic requirements.
If McCullough, 20, gets an InSITE scholarship, he has already planned what he'll do with it.
He's working on his degree at CFCC in computer science and political science, but he said he wants to start another scholarship in memory of his friend, Michael Van Wagner, who died after being struck by a car early this month at the age of 22.
"It would be based on sports," McCullough said of the idea, his voice shaking slightly. "He loved fishing and basketball."

Ukraine destroyed a critical Russian radar Nebo-M in Bryansk Oblast, significantly diminishing Russia's capability to surveil and bomb Ukrainian territories, Suspilne sources say.
John Kirby believes there is a difference in conflicts, airspace, and “threat picture” between Israel and Ukraine
The Institute for the Study of War (ISW) has compared Ukraine's depleted air defense systems with Israel's robust air defense umbrella that successfully defended against a large-scale Iranian missile and drone attack on 13 April
"If you want to lease [Patriots], let's lease, if you want it to cover your border, let it cover your border, but give it," Kuleba says. Ukraine knows location of over 100 available Patriot systems allies have & seeks to obtain at least 7 Patriot batteries
This will support repairing Hawk missile systems that protect critical infrastructure from Russia's attacks on energy grid & civilians.
Ukraine's Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said "active negotiations" were underway with allies to obtain two batteries of the Patriot air defense system and one of the SAMP/T system.
Baerbock calls for more Patriots for Ukraine amid fears of Russian bombardment of Kharkiv to the ground
"We need an overview of all Patriot systems in Europe and worldwide to see where we can quickly deliver something to Ukraine," she said
Ukraine's air defense destroyed 17 Russian Shahed-131/136 drones over Odesa, Mykolaiv, Kirovohrad, Khmelnytskyi, and Zhytomyr oblasts.
Germany will initiate the search for Patriot air defense systems, but the promise of a NATO membership this summer is still vague
Amid escalated Russian aerial attacks, President Zelenskyy urges the need for more Patriot missile systems to protect Ukrainian cities, communities, and infrastructure.
Such missiles could be shot down when very close to NATO border, cooperating with Ukraine & considering int'l consequences, Polish Deputy FM Andrzej Szejna said.
Russian cruise missiles and drones hit two districts in Kyiv, critical infrustructure in Lviv Oblast & heating networks and a power line in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast.
The Russian military also attacked Ukraine with five S-300 anti-aircraft guided missiles overnight, but Ukraine's military did not specify which targets were hit
The defense ministers of Germany and France established a coalition that will help Ukraine improve its air defense capabilities, which are crucial for defending its territory and countering Russia’s aggression, which involves constant air strikes.
The Ukrainian President did not specify the type of systems but said they can " shoot down everything.”
Five hybrid FrankenSAM air defense systems, which pair Western missiles with Soviet launchers, are already operating in Ukraine. One that will use Patriot missiles to down ballistic targets is on the way.
“Russian missiles are increasingly deteriorating and going astray,” Ukraine’s Air Forces in aftermath of Russian morning missile attack
Eight missiles were destroyed. More than 20 out of 32 listed aerial attack means did not reach their targets, due to counteraction by Ukraine's electronic warfare means.
According to Zelenskyy, Ukraine "does not make wide steps forward" because Russian forces "control the sky." "If we unblock the sky, we will go forward, if not - we will stand where we stand," he said.
Russo-Ukrainian war, day 685: German defense company builds military repair hub in Ukraine to facilitate servicing of Leopards
German FFG defense company is constructing a repair center in western Ukraine. Western air defense supplies remain crucial for Ukraine as Russia adapting to current capabilities, ISW reported.
Mobile fire groups downed every second Russian suicide drone and every fifth missile in Ukraine's north during Russia's massive air attack on 2 January.
