Women in the Church by Margaret Fell (Fox)
Published April 13, 2011 | By womenofchristianity
Justified, Proved, and Allowed of by the Scriptures,
All Such as Speak by the Spirit and Power of the Lord Jesus.
And how Women Were the First that Preached the Tidings of the Resurrection of Jesus,
and Were Sent by Christ's own Command, before He Ascended to the father.
John 20. 17
At the time of these writings, Margaret retained the name of her deceased first husband, Judge Fell. Three years after writing the below letters, which was eleven years after her first husband had died, Margaret Fell married George Fox to become Margaret Fox; their marriage was by command from the Lord Jesus to George Fox. She had already established herself as the Mother of the Church, as Fox was acknowledged as the Father and founder of the society. She spent a total of ten years in prison from several imprisonments for having worship meetings in her home and for her refusal at trials to swear by taking any oath.
by Margaret Fell –
Whereas it has been an objection in the minds of many, and several times has been objected by the clergy, or ministers and others, against women's speaking in the Church; and so consequently may be taken, that they are condemned for meddling in the things of God. The ground of which objection is taken from the apostle's words, which he wrote in his first Epistle to the Corinthians, 1 Cor 14:34-5. And also what he wrote to Timothy, 1 Tim 2: 11-12. But how far they wrong the apostle's intentions in these scriptures, we shall show clearly when we come to them in their course and order. But first let me lay down how God himself has manifested his will and mind concerning women, and unto women.
And first, when God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he them, male and female; and God blessed them, and God said unto them, be fruitful and multiply: And God said, behold, I have given you of every herb, Gen 1:27-29. Here God joins them together in his own image, and makes no such distinctions and differences as men do; for though they are weak, he is strong; and as he said to the apostle, his grace is sufficient, and his strength is made manifest in weakness, 2 Cor 12:9. Such has the Lord chosen, even the weak things of the world, to confound the things which are mighty; and things which are despised, has God chosen, to bring to naught things that are, 1 Cor:1-27-8. God has put no such difference between the male and female, as men would make.
It is true, the serpent, which was more subtle than any other beast of the field, came to the woman with his temptations, and with a lie; his subtlety discerning her to be the weaker vessel, or more inclinable to listen to him, when he said, ' If you eat, your eyes shall be opened;' and the woman saw, that the fruit was good to make one wise. There the temptation got into her, and she did eat, and gave to her husband, and he did eat also; and so they were both tempted into the transgression and disobedience; and therefore God said unto Adam, (who hid himself when he heard his voice) 'have you eaten of the tree, which I commanded you that you should not eat?' And Adam said, 'the woman which you gave me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.' And the Lord said unto the woman, 'what is this that you have done.' And the woman said, 'the serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.' Here the woman spoke the truth to the Lord. See what the Lord said, after he had pronounced sentence on the serpent, I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; it shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel, Gen 3:15.
Let this word of the Lord, which was from the beginning, stop the mouths of all that oppose women's speaking in the power of the Lord; for he has put enmity between the woman and the serpent; and if the seed of the woman speaks not, the seed of the serpent speaks; for God has put enmity between the two seeds; and it is manifest, that those who speak against the woman and her seed's speaking, speak out of the envy of the old serpent's seed. And God has fulfilled his word and his promise, when the fullness of time had come, he sent forth his son, made of a woman, made under the Law, that we might receive the adoption of sons, Gal 4:4-5.
Moreover, the Lord is pleased, when he mentions his Church, to call her by the name of woman, by his prophets, saying, I have called you as a woman forsaken, and grieved in spirit, and as a wife of youth, Isa 54:6. Again, how long will you go about, you back-sliding daughter? For the Lord has created a new thing in the earth, a woman shall compass a man, Jer 31:22. And David, when he was speaking of Christ and his Church, he said, the King's daughter is all glorious within, her clothing is of wrought gold, she shall be brought unto the King; with gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought; they shall enter into the King's palace, Psa 45.
And also King Solomon in his song, where he speaks of Christ and his Church, where she is complaining and calling for Christ, he said, If you know not, O you fairest among women, go your way by the footsteps of the flock, Song 1:8, and 5:9. And John, when he saw the wonder that was in heaven, he saw a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars; and there appeared another wonder in heaven, a great red dragon stood ready to devour her child. Rev 12:1-3. Here appears the envy of the dragon.
Thus much may prove, that the Church of Christ is represented as a woman; and those that speak against this woman's speaking, speak against the Church of Christ, and the seed of the woman, which seed is Christ; that is to say, those that speak against the power of the Lord, and the spirit of the Lord speaking in a woman, simply by reason of her sex, or because she is a woman, not regarding the seed, and spirit, and power that speaks in her; such speak against Christ and his Church, and are of the seed of the serpent, wherein lodges enmity. As God the father made no such difference in the first creation, nor ever since between the male and the female, but always out of his mercy and loving-kindness, had regard unto the weak. So also his son, Christ Jesus, confirms the same thing; when the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, if it were lawful for a man to put away his wife? He answered and said unto them, 'Have you not read, that he that made them in the beginning, made them male and female; and said, for this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh; wherefore they are no more two, but one flesh? What therefore God has joined together, let no man put asunder.' Mat 19:4-6.
Again, Christ Jesus, when he came to the city of Samaria, where Jacob's well was, where the woman of Samaria was, you may read in John 4. How he was pleased to preach the everlasting gospel to her; and when the woman said unto him, 'I know that when the Messiah comes, (which is called Christ) , when he comes, he will tell us all things.' Jesus said unto her, 'I that speak unto you am He.' Also he said unto Martha, when she said, she knew that her brother should rise again in the last day. Jesus said unto her,' I am the Resurrection and the Life; He that believes on me, though he were dead, yet should he live; and whosoever lives and believes, shall never die. Believe you this'? she answered, 'yes, Lord, I believe you are the Christ, the son of God.' Here she manifested her true and saving faith, which few at that day believed so on him. John 11:24-7.
Also that woman, that came unto Jesus with an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head as he sat at food; it is manifest that this woman knew more of the secret power and wisdom of God, than his disciples did, who were filled with indignation against her; and therefore Jesus said, 'why do you trouble the woman, for she has wrought a good work upon me? Verily, I say unto you, wherever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this that this woman has done, be told for a memorial of her,' Mat 26:6-13 and Mark 14:3-9. Luke said farther, she was a sinner, and that she stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with her tears, and did wipe them with the hair of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with ointment. And when Jesus saw the heart of the Pharisee that had invited him to his house, he took occasion to speak unto Simon, as you may read in Luke 7; and he turned to the woman, and said, 'Simon, see you this woman? you gave me no water to my feet; but she has washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head. You gave me no kiss; but this woman, since I came in, has not ceased to kiss my feet. My head with oil you did not anoint; but this woman has anointed my feet with ointment: wherefore I say unto you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven her; for she has loved much.' Luke 7:44-47.
Also, there was many women which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him, and stood afar off when he was crucified, Mat 27:55-56, Mark 15:40-41, yes even the women of Jerusalem wept for him, insomuch that he said unto them, 'weep not for me, you daughters of Jerusalem; but weep for yourselves, and for your children.' Luke 23:28.
And certain women which had been healed of Evil spirits and Infirmities, Mary Magdalene, and Joanna the wife of Chuza, Herod's steward's wife; and many others which ministered unto him of their substance. Luke 8:2-3.
Thus we see that Jesus owned the love and grace that appeared in women, and did not despise it; and by what is recorded in the scriptures, he received as much love, kindness, compassion, and tender dealing towards him from women, as he did from any others, both in his lifetime, and also after they had exercised their cruelty upon him; for Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, beheld where he was laid; And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salom, had brought sweet spices, that they might anoint him: And very early in the morning, the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulcher at the rising of the sun; and they said among themselves, 'who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulcher?' And when they looked the stone was rolled away, for it was very great, Mark 16:1-4, Luke 24:1-2, and they went down into the sepulcher, and as Matthew said, the angel rolled away the stone, and he said unto the women, 'fear not, I know whom you seek, Jesus which was crucified: he is not here, he is risen.' Mat 28:1-6. Now Luke said thus, that there stood two men by them in shining apparel, and as they were perplexed and afraid, the men said unto them, 'he is not here, remember how he said unto you when he was in Galilee, that the son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again;' and they remembered his words, and returned from the sepulcher, and told all these things to the Eleven, and to all the rest. Luke 24:1-10
It was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and the other women that were with them, which told these things to the apostles, and their words seemed unto them as idle tales, and they believed them not. Mark this, you despisers of the weakness of women, and look upon yourselves to be so wise: but Christ Jesus does not so; for he makes use of the weak: for when he met the women after he was risen, he said unto them, 'All hail!' And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him; then said Jesus unto them, 'be not afraid, go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there they shall see me.' Mat 28:9-10, Mark 16:9. And John said, when Mary was weeping at the sepulcher, that Jesus said unto her:'Woman, why do you weep? What do you seek?' And when she supposed him to be the gardner, Jesus said unto her, 'Mary;' she turned herself, and said unto him, 'Rabbi,' which is to say, Master; Jesus said unto her, 'touch me not, for I am not yet ascended to my Father; but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father, and to my God, and your God.' John 20:16-7.
Mark this, you that despise and oppose the message of the Lord God that he sends by women; what had become of the redemption of the whole body of mankind, if they had not cause to believe the message that the Lord Jesus sent by these women, of and concerning his resurrection? And if these women had not thus, out of their tenderness, and bowels of love, who had received mercy, and grace, and forgiveness of sins, and virtue, and healing from him; which many men also had received the like, if their hearts had not been so united and knit unto him in love, that they could not depart as the men did; but sat watching, and waiting, and weeping about the sepulcher until the time of his resurrection, and so were ready to carry his message, as is manifested, else how should his Disciples have known, who were not there?
Oh! blessed and glorified be the glorious Lord; for this may all the whole body of mankind say, though the wisdom of man that never knew God, is always ready to except against the weak; but the weakness of God is stronger than men, and the foolishness of God is wiser than men. 1 Cor 1:25.
And in Acts 18:24-26, you may read how Aquilla, and Priscilla, took unto them Apollos, and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly, who was an eloquent man, and mighty in the scriptures; yet we do not read that he despised what Priscilla said, because she was a woman, as many now do.
And now to the apostle's words, which is the ground of the great objection against women speaking. And first, 1 Cor 14. Let the reader seriously peruse that chapter, and see the end and drift of the apostle in speaking these words: for the apostle is there exhorting the Corinthians unto love, and to desire spiritual gifts, and not to speak in an unknown tongue; and not to be children in understanding, although be children in malice; but in understanding to be men. And that the spirits of the prophets, should be subject to the prophets; for God is not the author of confusion, but of peace. And then he said,'Let your women keep silence in the Church.'
Where it does plainly appear, that the women, as well as some others that were among them, were in confusion. For he said, 'How is it brethren? When you come together, every one of you has a psalm, has a doctrine, has a tongue, has a revelation, has an interpretation? Let all things be done to edifying.' Here is no edifying, but confusion speaking together: therefore he said, ' If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at most by three, and that by course, and let one interpret: but if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the Church.' Here the man is commanded to keep silence, as well as the woman, when in confusion and out of order.
But the apostle said farther, they are commanded to be in obedience, as also said the Law; and if they will learn anything, let them ask their husbands at home; for it is a shame for a woman, to speak in the Church.
Here the apostle clearly manifests his intent; for he speaks of women that were under the Law,* and in that transgression as Eve was, and such as were to learn, and not to speak publicly, but they must first ask their husbands at home; and it was a shame for such to speak in the Church. And it appears clearly, that such women were speaking among the Corinthians, by the apostles exhorting them from malice and strife and confusion; and he preaches the Law unto them, and he said, 'in the Law it is written, with men of other tongues, and other lips, will I speak unto this people.' 14:21
*[Here were Greek women believers in the Christian assembly of Corinth still under the law! Yes, the law still applies to all believers until they are led by the Holy Spirit; the law is our schoolmaster leading us to faith, which comes when you hear the word of God within your heart, believe it to be true, believe it to be God speaking to you, and so then obey all that you are commanded to do — that is to follow Christ, hearing his Spirit speak to you and then obeying it. The words Christ speaks to you are spirit and impart life; the life of God, which those who follow (obey his leading) Christ do receive. If you are led by the Spirit, you are no longer under the law, Gal 5:18; those led by the Spirit are sons of God. Rom 8:14.
From the Voice of the Lord: "There are no laws when you are under complete control of the spirit; you walk in love in obedience as prompted — you don't walk in restricted flesh." See Obedience is Still Required for more on this subject.]
And what is all this to women speaking? That have the everlasting gospel to preach, and upon whom the promise of the Lord is fulfilled, and his spirit poured upon them according to his word, Acts 2:16-18. And if the apostle would have stopped such as had the Spirit of the Lord poured upon them, why did he say just before, 'If anything be revealed to another that sits by, let the first hold his peace, and you may all one by one?' Here he did not say, that such women should not prophesy as had the Revelation and spirit of God poured upon them; but their women that were under the Law, and in the transgression, and were in strife, confusion and malice; for if he had stopped women praying or prophesying, why does he say,'Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonors his head; but every woman that prays or with her head uncovered dishonors her head? Judge in yourselves; is it comely that a woman pray or prophesy uncovered? For the woman is not without the man, neither is the man without the woman in the Lord,' 1 Cor 11:3-4, 11:11-13
Also that other scripture, in 1 Tim. 2:9-13. Where he is exhorting that prayer and supplication be made every where, lifting up holy hands without wrath and doubting; he said in the like manner also, that women ' must adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety, not with broidered hair, or gold, or pearl, or costly array.' He said, 'Let women learn in silence with all subjection; but I allow not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence; for Adam was first formed, then Eve; and Adam was not deceived; but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.'
Here the apostle speaks particularly to a woman in relation to her husband, to be in subjection to him, and not to teach, nor usurp authority over him, and therefore he mentions Adam and Eve. But let it be strained to the utmost, as the opposers of women speaking would have it, that is, that they should not preach nor speak in the Church, of which there is nothing here. Yet the apostle is speaking to such as he is teaching to wear their apparel, what to wear, and what not to wear; such as had not come to wear modest apparel, and such as had not come to shamefacedness and sobriety; but he was exhorting them from broidered hair, gold, and pearls, and costly array; and such are not to usurp authority over the man, but to learn in silence with all subjection, as it becomes women professing godliness with good works.
And what is all this to those who have the power and spirit of the Lord Jesus poured upon them, and have the message of the Lord Jesus given unto them? Must not they speak the word of the Lord, because of these indecent and irreverent women, that the apostle speaks of, and to, in these two scriptures? How the men of this generation are blinded, who bring these scriptures, and pervert the apostles words, and corrupt his intent in speaking of them? By these scriptures they endeavor to stop the message and word of the Lord God in women, by condemning and despising of them. If the apostle would have had women speaking stopped, and did not allow of them; why did he entreat his true yokefellow to help those women who labored with him in the gospel? Phil. 4:3. And why did the apostles join together in prayer and supplication with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren, Acts 1:14, if they had not allowed, and had union and fellowship with the spirit of God, wherever it was revealed, in women as well as others? But all this opposing, and arguing of women speaking, has risen out of the bottomless pit, and spirit of darkness, that has spoken for these many hundred years together in this night of apostasy, since the Revelation have ceased and been hidden. So that spirit has limited and bound all up within its bond and compass; and so would allow none to speak; but such as that spirit of darkness approved of, man or woman.
So here has been the misery of these last ages past, in the time of the reign of the beast, that John saw when he stood upon the sand of the sea, rising out of the sea, and out of the earth, having seven heads and ten horns, Rev. 13. In this great city of Babylon, which is the woman that has sat so long upon the scarlet colored beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. And this woman has been arrayed and decked with gold, and pearls, and precious stones; and she has had a golden cup in her hand, full of abominations; and has made all nations drunk with the cup of her fornication; andall the world has wondered after the beast, and has worshipped the dragon that gave power to the beast; and this woman has been drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. This has been the woman, that has been speaking, and usurping authority for many hundred years together. Let the times and ages past testify how many have been murdered and slain, in ages and generations past; every religion and profession, (as it has been called), killing and murdering one another, that would not join one with another. Thus the spirit of truth, and the power of the Lord Jesus Christ, has been quite lost among those who have done this. This mother of harlots has sat as a queen, and said, she should see no sorrow. But though her days have been long, even many hundred of years; for there was power given unto the beast to continue forty and two months, and to make war with the saints, and to overcome them. All that have dwelt upon the earth have worshipped him, whose names are not written in the book of the Life of the Lamb, slain from the foundation of the world.
But blessed be the Lord, his time is over, which was above twelve hundred years, and the darkness is past, and the night of apostasy draws to an end, and the true light now shines, the morning light, the bright morning star, the Root and Offspring of David, he is risen, he is risen, glory to the highest for evermore; and the joy of the morning is come, and the bride, the Lamb's wife, is making herself ready, as a bride that is adorning for her husband; and to her is granted, that she shall be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white; and the fine linen is the righteousness of the saints; the Holy Jerusalem is descending out of heaven from God, having the glory of God; and her light is like jasper, clear as crystal.
And this is that free woman, that all the children of the promise are born of; not the children of the bond-woman, which is Hagar, which genders to strife and to bondage, and which answers to Jerusalem, which is in bondage with her children; but this is the Jerusalem which is free, which is the mother of us all. And so this bond-woman and her children, that are born after the flesh, have persecuted those who are born after the spirit, even until now. But now the bond-woman and her seed is to be cast out, who have been kept so long in bondage and in slavery, and under limits; this bond-woman and her brood is to be cast out, and our holy city, the New Jerusalem, is coming down from heaven, and her light will shine throughout the whole earth, even as a jasper, clear as crystal, which brings freedom and liberty, and perfect redemption to her whole seed; and this is that woman and image of the eternal God, that God has owned, and does own, and will own for evermore.
More might be added to this purpose, both out of the Old Testament and New, where it is evident that God made no difference, but gave his good spirit, as it pleased him, both to man and woman, as Deborah, Huldah, Sarah. The Lord calls by his prophet Isaiah, 'hearken unto me, you that follow after righteousness, you that seek the Lord; look unto the rock from whence you were hewn, and to the hole of the pit from whence you were dug; look unto Abraham your father, and to Sarah that bore you; for the Lord will comfort Zion.' Isa. 51:1-3. Anna the prophetess, who was a widow of fourscore and four years of age, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day; she coming in at that instant, (when old Simeon took the child Jesus in his arms), and she gave thanks unto the Lord, and spoke of him to all them who looked for Redemption in Jerusalem,Luke 2:36-38. And Phillip the Evangelist, into whose house the apostle Paul entered, who was one of the seven, Acts 6:3-5. He had four daughters which were virgins, who prophesied. Acts 21:8-9.
So let this serve to stop that opposing spirit that would limit the power and spirit of the Lord Jesus, whose spirit is poured upon all flesh, both sons and daughters, now in his resurrection; and since that the Lord God in the creation, when he made man in his own image, he made them male and female;and since that Christ Jesus, as the apostle said, was made of a woman, and the power of the highest overshadowed her, and the holy ghost came upon her, and the holy thing that was born of her, was called the son of God. When he was upon the earth, he manifested his love, and his will, and his mind, both to the woman of Samaria, and Martha, and Mary her sister, and several others, as has been shown; and after his resurrection also, manifested himself unto them first of all, even before he ascended unto his father. Now when Jesus was risen, the first day of the week, he appeared first unto MaryMagdalene, Mark 16:9. Thus the Lord Jesus has manifested himself and his power, without respect of persons; and so let all mouths be stopped that would limit him, whose power and spirit is infinite, who is pouring it upon all flesh.
And thus much in answer to these two scriptures, which have been made such a stumbling-block, that the ministers of darkness have made such a mountain of; but the Lord is removing all this, and taking it out of the way.

Antibiotic resistance – take action now before it's too late
One of the biggest global challenges of the 21st century has brought members of the international research community together to assess the next steps for research.
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR), the ability of human pathogenic bacteria to resist the action of antibiotics, is the subject of a Special Issue of the Journal of Molecular Biology.
The edition is published today and brings together an editorial overview plus 11 articles from world-leading researchers under the theme: The Molecular Basis of Antibiotic Action and Resistance.
The special issue assesses the progress made by research to identify the molecular mechanisms which could lead to the development of new antibiotics. The 2017 O'Neill Report warned that AMR could result in 10 million deaths a year due to untreatable infections by 2050.
Researchers from the John Innes Centre have contributed to two of the articles and to the editorial overview.
Professor Tony Maxwell, Group Leader at the John Innes Centre, and one of the editors of the Journal of Molecular Biology explains the motivation behind the Special Issue: "This group of articles highlights what frontline researchers are trying to do about one of the biggest problems facing mankind in the 21st century."
The journal reflects great hopes of new research in identifying useful compounds from plant natural products of diverse origins and synthetic chemistry. For scientific advances to take hold they need to be matched by innovations in medical, economic and political approaches, the journal concludes.
Professor Maxwell says: "The big pharmaceutical companies can contribute but are not going to solve this crisis because there are not enough profits from antibiotic research and development. I believe all expertise we need is available in the academic sector working with small and medium-sized enterprises."
"An idea would be a publicly funded model which brings together all the appropriate skills: chemists, medicinal chemists, natural product chemists, pharmacologists, clinicians and so forth."
"It sounds like a challenge but if we don't start to do something, epidemics of bacterial disease will be lapping at our shores before too long. People know about the bubonic plague, and it's not overstating the case to say that something like that could happen again if we don't take action soon."
The Molecular Basis of Antibiotic Action and Resistance appears in the Journal of Molecular Biology.

Men's rugby wins Battle of the Bears in regular season finale
OAKVILLE, Ont. - The Sheridan Bruins men's rugby team (4-2 OCAA) snapped a two-game slide and ended the regular season with a fresh piece of hardware, claiming the Brown Bear trophy after downing their rivals from Georgian 40-21 in the 2018 edition of the Battle of the Bears.
"We finally played to our game plan, that was quite evident. We had a fantastic week of practice even though it was really, really cold and really windy," head coach Rick Bria said. "The boys worked hard, we had a really good film session last night, and this is what we've been waiting for all season. Hats off to Georgian, they're a very well-coached, disciplined team and they didn't come out here to lose, but our boys did well."
Although they put up their second-highest point total of the season, the victory was more about defence as they held Georgian - who came into the contest putting up a league best 72.2 points per game - more than 50 points below their season average.
Sheridan was on the board early - after Nathanael Penny's fifth minute try - and it was the result of a patient attack, with 14 phases on the Bruins' opening possession. Tristian Hylton-Hastings added a second try to make it 12-0 for the Double Blue before the visitors got on the board, trimming the margin to 12-7.
Justin Tota rounded out the first half scoring with a try and his second convert, giving the Bruins a 19-7 halftime edge.
It looked like the game was going to be put away early in the second half after tries from Hylton-Hastings and Matthew Sheridan each touched it down to extend the lead to 33-7, but Georgian wasn't going to go down without a fight.
They narrowed the margin to 33-14 just after the hour mark, and their quick-strike attack put another try on the board four minutes later. That would end up being their last stand though, as Yousif Al-badri's 67th minute try proved to be the dagger and concluded the scoring.
The Double Blue will now shift their focus to a first-round playoff matchup against a still-to-be-determined opponent based on the outcomes of the remaining East Division games. Bria says that regardless of who the opponent is, their preparation will not change.
"It doesn't even really matter who we play, we're just going to be focused on playing our game. That's the bottom line," he said. "As long as we play to our strengths and the boys continue to believe in their ability, I think we'll be just fine."

Tulsa Fire Department concerned lack of manpower will affect amount of time it takes to fight fires
By: Ashley Holt
TULSA - The Tulsa Fire Department is worried it won't be able to make up for its lack of manpower like it has in the past.
The department is allowed 675 people, and it's built to function within ten above or below that number. Right now, the force has about 645 people.
Tulsa Fire Department Public Information Officer Captain Stan May said the lack of manpower is starting to have negative effects on emergencies in the community, and within the department itself.
"The biggest thing it affects is how long it takes to do the task once we get there whether it's a rescue, extrication, house fire," May said. "And each individual firefighter is expected to do more until we can get more help there."
May said firefighters work harder to make up for the holes in staffing, leading to more injuries.
He said the department is used to having some sort of shortage in the summer, because that's when most firefighters retire. The difference this time is the department can't afford to hire a class to fill in the spots like it usually would. It's funded through the city's sales tax.
The shortage is seen, for example, on trucks responding to fires.
Tulsa fire abides by the safety standards set by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). One of its standards states, "Fire companies whose primary functions are to pump and deliver water and perform basic fire fighting at fires ... shall be staffed with a minimum of four on-duty personnel."
Tulsa can only afford to have three on a truck, which is a concern the department brought to the city. City Counselor Karen Gilbert said the city is working to improve with money from the Vision Sales Tax.
"It's not going to happen overnight. And it's [just] like, we're not going to be able to put 160 additional police officers out on the street as well." Gilbert said. "So, it's going to take time, but we're going to get there. That's our goal, is to get those additional firefighters and make sure we get those four to a truck."
She estimated it will be accomplished in five years.
In the meantime, the Tulsa Fire Department has applied for a federal grant that would allow for them to hire 27 firefighters to train and add to the force within five months. It's still waiting on the status of the grant.
Without the grant the department can't hire new firefighters until January when it gets money from its portion of the city's budget. May estimates that after more retirements this year, the department will be down about 50 people by then, without the grant.

Corporate cash surplus will be easy to misspend
How not to spend it
2 April 2012 By Chris Hughes
Everyone knows that companies worldwide are sitting on cash, generating cash, and have the capacity to borrow yet more. But where will it go? The optimistic answer would be into the real economy. The reality is probably into M&A and buybacks.
Apple's $98 billion pile is emblematic of a growing corporate cash mountain. As of December, the 1,100 non-financial U.S. corporations rated by Moody's were sitting on record gross cash balances of $1.24 trillion. The credit rating agency's 360-strong universe of generally larger-cap European non-financial corporates had $872 billion of gross cash at June 2011, just shy of the 2010 record.
At the same time, gearing – net debt to equity – is modest. For European companies it is now at about 30 percent, a state of affairs not seen since the 1980s, according to Morgan Stanley. About one-third of Europe's corporates are debt-free.
It's not hard to see how this happened. Companies went into the crisis with relatively low leverage. When the banking sector froze, they cut borrowing further. Meanwhile, the downturn provided cover to slash operating costs and capex. With demand propped up by economic stimulus, record profit margins have followed. To cap it all, repressive monetary policy has squashed long-term interest rates, pushing yield-hungry investors into corporate bonds.
The upshot is that record profitability is not feeding into higher returns on equity, according to Barclays Capital. Even if memories of the crisis prompt companies to keep permanently bigger cash buffers, that's not a situation that management or investors are likely to tolerate for long.
In the United States, cross-border M&A looks the most likely response, given that most corporate cash is held overseas and would be taxable on repatriation. For companies with commodity-based costs, cost-crunching deals are a solution to an expense line that's going up as revenues flatline. In Europe, risk-aversion caused by recent shareholder hostility to M&A makes buybacks more likely.
The other option is investment, though poor economic visibility will regrettably prove a deterrent. Companies may also be setting overly high return hurdles for a financially repressed world. More buybacks, less investment. This de-equitisation comeback is good for the equity market, Barcap suggests. But it's probably not what central bankers had in mind as they slashed rates and flooded the economy with liquidity.
U.S. non-financial corporate cash holdings rose to $1.24 trillion at the end of 2011, according to Moody's, the credit rating agency.
Net debt as a percentage of assets among non-financial companies in the S&P 500 has fallen from 17.2 percent in 2006 to 15.6 percent, according to research by Morgan Stanley.
The ratio of cash to debt among non-financial U.S. companies rated by Moody's was 30 percent last year, up from 22 percent in 2008.
European non-financial corporates rated by Moody's held $872 billion in cash at mid-year 2011, down slightly from record holdings at December 2010.
Balance sheet gearing is heading for 20-year lows in Europe by the end of 2012 and almost one-third of companies had net cash on the balance sheet in 2010, the largest share since the late 1980s, according to Morgan Stanley research.
European non-financial companies' return on equity was 14.8 percent in 2011, against over 16 percent in 2005, 2006 and 2007, according to Barclays Capital research.

HomeStar Bank supplies SBA financing for Primrose School of Carol Stream
The SBA lending division of HomeStar Bank has provided financing for Primrose School of Carol Stream. The $5.5 million loan provides for land and construction costs on the school, which will serve communities that include Carol Stream, Bartlett, West Chicago, Glendale Heights and Bloomingdale, Illinois.
Construction has already begun on the new, 12,000-square-foot school, which will be owned and operated as a woman-owned business by a private investor, Vibhuti Vaghani and her husband. The new school is being built on an approximately two-acre parcel of land at 1271 N. County Farm Road in Carol Stream.
The construction team includes ECA Architects and Level Construction Chicago. Entero Energy is completing the renewable energy program for the school, which has been designed to incorporate energy efficient technologies. Construction will take approximately 10 months and a target opening is tentatively scheduled for late fall 2019.
"This is an exciting development for Carol Stream, and an exciting opportunity for the Vaghanis," said Gabe Beukinga, president of the SBA lending division at HomeStar Bank. "Based on their previous success in business, their personal experiences and their vision for Primrose School in Carol Stream, they were great candidates for an SBA loan."
Primrose School of Carol Stream is licensed for an enrollment capacity of 184 students. The school will enhance education for children between the ages of six weeks to five years old and there will also be before and after school programs. Features will include 11 classrooms, a fully operational kitchen facility, administrative offices and an outdoor area with a playground and a "Primrose Patch" where children can experience gardening and nature study.
"I am thrilled to bring The Primrose Experience to the community of Carol Stream," says Vaghani. "Our goal is to provide the right foundation and spark light bulb moments so children can grow their active minds, healthy bodies and happy hearts while providing peace of mind for the parents."

A Preliminary Evaluation of Azathioprine (Imuran®) in the Treatment of Multiple Sclerosis
William G. Tucker
K. H. Kapphahn
A theoretical approach to the unknown etiology of multiple sclerosis is presented in this preliminary study which reports the results of empiric treatment with azathioprine. Imuran® therapy produced stabilization of the disease, neurological improvement, and no progress of neurological dysfunction or loss of any regained function. Evidence points toward a viral-induced immunological defect. Abnormal gamma globulins found in the cerebral spinal fluid suggest an immunological etiology.

Analysis: Brady, Gronk OTA whereabouts

As we pointed out in today's patriots.com News Blitz, media reports are suggesting that Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski likely won't be at Gillette Stadium this week for organized team activity practices (OTAs). If that winds up being true, just how big a deal is this for the Patriots? First, let's take a look at what OTAs are.
When NFL teams gather in April for the start of their offseason programs, players are limited to weight training, speed, and conditioning exercises under the guidance of their in-house strength coaches – what's commonly known as "Phase 1" of the offseason program. Phase 2, which, for the Patriots, concluded last week, allows for players to spend a limited amount of time on the practice field with coaches, but players are not in pads and the offense and defense cannot face off against one another yet.
Phase 3, beginning today for New England, takes that next step with OTA practices. Players can wear helmets on the field and line up opposite their teammates on the other side of the ball, but contact is still not allowed during these OTA sessions. The Patriots have 10 OTA practices that they can schedule during May and June, plus three mini-camp practices. These are essentially held under the same conditions at OTAs, with one significant difference: mini-camp is mandatory.
Phases 1, 2, and the OTA portion of 3 are technically considered voluntary, per the NFL's collective bargaining agreement with its players. It's rare, however, for players not to attend any portion of the offseason program. When they choose to sit out for an extended period, it's usually because they're angling for a pay raise and are using their presence or absence as a bargaining tool.
Thus far, neither Brady nor Gronkowski has taken part in New England's 2018 offseason program, and neither has yet said specifically why. Both players are typically present throughout the entire program, although Brady has chosen at times in his career not to be here right at the start for Phases 1 and/or 2.
Those media reports we referenced off the top have also suggested that Brady and Gronkowski are planning to rejoin the club for the three mandatory mini-camp sessions. Players can be subject to fines and other discipline by their clubs if they don't take part. It's entirely possible, of course, that the initial reports are inaccurate and that one or both men will be on the field as early as today or this Tuesday when media are granted their first viewing session of this springtime practice season.
Assuming the reports are true and both Brady and Gronkowski are absent tomorrow, this shouldn't have a significant impact on either player's individual preparations for the 2018 season. Both players are well-established veterans, presumably in excellent physical condition, and have enough familiarity with New England's offensive playbook that they should have no trouble knowing and learning their assignments.
Both players have expressed a general desire this offseason to spend more personal time away from the office, and, given their extensive history of contributions to the success of this organization, have probably earned that right. After all, as already noted, these practices are voluntary anyway up until mini-camp.
Where their absence might prove more consequential is with the offense as a whole. Players routinely emphasize how important springtime is for establishing a foundation for the advanced training camp work in the summer and the success a team might then enjoy as a result in the autumn and winter.
Brady and Gronkowski have an on-field chemistry that can quickly be reestablished whenever they suit up together. But the QB doesn't have that luxury with the many new members of the offense, particularly the skill position players at wide receiver, tight end, and running back. Thirteen practices is not a lot of time to prepare and get familiar with new teammates, especially for a quarterback who has often seemed to decide pretty quickly whether or not he is comfortable throwing to a newcomer. In theory, the more time he has to work with them, the better.
If Brady is only on the field for three practices this spring, will that be enough to get on the same page with his new teammates? Maybe, but it's far from ideal, from a football perspective. Furthermore, both Brady and Gronkowski are returning captains, and in that leadership role, how will their notable absences to this point be perceived by returning teammates and new ones alike? That answer is, of course, much more difficult to quantify, but nonetheless worth considering.
Another factor is how the spring practices are scheduled. It is entirely up to the teams' discretion how they space out their OTAs and mini-camps. In the past, New England would hold all its voluntary OTAs first, then finish the spring with mini-camp. In recent years, though, the Patriots have elected to hold a half-dozen or so OTAs, then mini-camp, before returning to the voluntary OTAs for a few days afterward.
So, if Brady and/or Gronk return for this year's mini-camp – June 5-7 – and not before, would they stick around for the following week's four scheduled OTAs as well, or only attend the mandatory sessions? The media is scheduled to have just one day of viewing during that final week of Patriots spring practice (June 11-15), but the presence or absence of Brady and Gronkowski will certainly be a major story line as the Patriots then take their mandatory six-week summer break before training camp opens in late July.
Meantime, our patriots.com is ready to go for Tuesday's first media viewing at OTAs. Our coverage plan will be similar to our camp offerings, complete with our unique "blogservations" and news recap postings. You'll also be able to hear us discuss everything we saw during a special 1-3 p.m. broadcast of PFW in Progress on patriots.com radio (available thereafter in podcast form). Unlike training camp, these springtime practices are not open to the general public, so, you'll have to rely on us as your eyes and ears. Whatever develops tomorrow with Brady, Gronkowski, and the rest of the team, we'll be there to provide all the necessary observations and analysis. Regardless of what happens, it's sure to be interesting.

I'm out of things to say about this season
With three games to go, and Texas one game back, AJM is out of things to say
By Adam J. Morris Sep 27, 2013, 11:38am CDT
Share All sharing options for: I'm out of things to say about this season
So there are three games to go in the regular 2013 regular season (I say "regular" regular season, because of the greater than usual likelihood there will be a Game 163 this year).
Texas is one back of Cleveland and two back of Tampa in the Wild Card Race. Texas has won its last four games. Cleveland and Tampa have each won their last seven games. At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if all three teams ended up winning out, which would leave Texas on the outside looking in with 91 wins.
This has been a fun, weird, strange, maddening roller coaster of a season. The offseason was disappointing, to put it mildly. Matt Harrison, expected to be the team's #2 starter, has missed basically the entire year. Colby Lewis, who we were thinking could be in the rotation by May, missed basically the entire year. Alexi Ogando missed roughly half the year. Those are three members of what the Rangers were hoping would be their five man rotation for much of the season.
Lance Berkman ended up being a bust, David Murphy hasn't hit, several young hitters have struggled. Its been a year filled with adversity. And yet, we're heading into the last weekend of the season with a fair chance of playing more than 162 games this year.
The success of the last five years or so has, I think, made us forget how hard it is to have sustained success in MLB. No team in baseball has made the playoffs each of the last four years. The Rangers are the only team still alive in the playoff hunt with a chance to do that. Tampa is the only team to have won 90 games in each of the last four years. If the Rangers can take two of three from the Angels this weekend, they'll also hit that mark.
The Giants won the World Series last year. This year, they have 74 wins. The Yankees, with their $200M plus payroll, won't make the playoffs, and are currently sitting at 82 wins.
Texas has won 90 games or more six times in the team's history, and has a pretty good shot at reaching that plateau again this year. That will mean that four of the Rangers' seven best seasons, ever, have come in the last four years.
And the Rangers are well-positioned to have success going forward. Yes, this team has some holes, but they also have a strong farm system and a great young rotation with Yu Darvish, Matt Harrison, Derek Holland and Martin Perez all under team control for years to come.
So yeah, I don't really have much to say right now about this weekend's final three games, other than, let's enjoy this ride. While I'll be disappointed if the Rangers don't make the playoffs, that doesn't make this season a failure.
Let's appreciate how good we have it right now. Because it wasn't that long ago that our best recent memory was David Dellucci's double in 2004 keeping us in the race an extra day or two before finishing in third place in the division.

Keolis and Ericsson demonstrate 5G on autonomous vehicles at UITP 2019 in Stockholm
On June 10-12, at the UITP World Congress 2019, Keolis demonstrated how 5G technology can be harnessed to control autonomous vehicles remotely. The 5G technology provided by Ericsson offers increased efficiency, reliability and safety in autonomous vehicles operation. This is another milestone illustrating Keolis' expertise in autonomous vehicle operations
Keolis showcases its expertise in shared mobility at UITP global summit
From 9 to 12 June 2019, all urban public transport operators will meet in Stockholm for the 2019 edition of the UITP Global Summit. As an expert in shared mobility and preferred partner of PTAs, Keolis will showcase its expertise in integrated multimodal transport networks as well as its latest innovations.
Keolis wins contract for bus services linking Aarhus to two of Denmark's international airports
Keolis has been awarded an eight-year contract to operate bus services linking the city of Aarhus to two international airports. This new contract reinforces Keolis' presence in Denmark, where it operates Aarhus light rail, the country's first network, as well as buses. Keolis was awarded the country's second light rail network in November 2018. It also reinforces Keolis' expertise in public transport connections to airports thereby reducing the number of cars on the road and pollution
Keolis selected as preferred operator to operate a second light rail contract in Denmark
On 29 November, Keolis was selected by Odense Letbane to operate and maintain the new light rail network of Odense, which is now the second in Denmark. This 14.5 km-long network includes 26 stations and is planned to open by the end of 2020. This new project reinforces Keolis' presence in Denmark where it is currently the operator of the country's first light rail network (Aarhus) and so reinforces its position as an international leader in tram operations.
Keolis undertakes a second trial of its autonomous electric shuttles in Belgium
On 4 October Keolis announced a second trial of its fully electric autonomous shuttle in Belgium, this time in Braine-l'Alleud (Waterloo), near Brussels. This follows the successful launch in Belgium of the first autonomous shuttle in early September. Keolis conducted this new trial in partnership with NAVYA, a French company which specialises in the design and construction of autonomous and electric vehicles, the Belgian ministry of mobility, the Vias institute (the Belgium Road Safety Institute) and Baloise Insurance.
The NAVYA autonomous electric shuttle will operate in normal traffic conditions on a 2.4-km route in the tourist area of Waterloo, a place famous for the battle that took place two centuries ago between the French, British, Dutch and German armies and which attracts over 500,000 visitors every year. The shuttle transports visitors between Lion's Mound, the Waterloo museum and the Château d'Hougoumont farmhouse.
Keolis undertakes a second trial of its autonomous electric shuttles in Belgium (pdf) (68.99 Ko)
The autonomous electric shuttle is an ideal mobility solution for university campuses, amusement parks and hospitals. The shuttle is best used to provide a last-mile connection solution to complete journeys on existing public transport networks.
The NAVYA autonomous electric shuttle can accommodate up to 15 passengers, including those with reduced mobility (it has a dedicated area for wheelchairs). It features Lidar sensors, a GPS RTK system, an odometric system, a V2X connection and cameras, so the vehicle can detect other vehicles and pedestrians and run on open roads. The trial aims to study the reactions of passengers and road users so as to improve the technology and ensure that it fits safely and seamlessly into day-to-day life in the city, before being implemented at other tourist locations.
Keolis, a pioneer in shared autonomous mobility
In recent years, communities have shown growing interest in autonomous mobility solutions. This has allowed pilot projects to proliferate and has proven the viability of this technology in (re)designing everyday mobility, both now and for the future. A pioneer in shared autonomous mobility, Keolis is already conducting other trials in partnership with NAVYA. Long-term trials are currently being conducted in France (La Défense, Roissypôle with ADP, Lyon), as well as in the US (Las Vegas), Canada (Candiac), Australia (Melbourne and Adelaide) and now in Belgium.
Since the launch of the service in Lyon, France in September 2016 – the first autonomous shuttle transport service in the world – Keolis has carried out more than 30 trials and demonstrations, driven 40,000 kilometres and transported some 110,000 passengers in autonomous shuttles, both in France and abroad*.
* France: Paris (La Défense and Roissypôle with ADP), Lyon (Confluence), Strasbourg; Denmark (Aalborg); Spain (Barcelona); UK (London Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park); Canada (Candiac, Montreal); US (Las Vegas, Atlanta); Australia (Melbourne – la Trobe university, Adelaide – Flinders university); and Belgium (Han-sur-Lesse and Waterloo).
We are pleased to be working with our partners on this new trial. With over 1,000 passengers in one month in Han-sur-Lesse, we are very much looking forward to the first results of the trial of our autonomous shuttle in Braine-l'Alleud. This route is five times longer than in Han-sur-Lesse, it is more challenging and features more curves and slopes. In addition, the route is narrower and is used not only by bikers and pedestrians, but also by farmers and on their tractors

Two years after the killing of Tyrone Love, code against snitching leaves case cold
Posted on June 21, 2011 by Tom Fucoloro
Tyrone Love was walking on Cherry St between 26th and 27th in the early morning of February 16, 2009, when he was killed. A man pulled up in a car, jumped out and shot Love multiple times before getting back in and speeding away. He was wearing an oversized hoodie, but the police do not have enough details to build a case.
To this day, the case remains open and unsolved. Love's family and SPD believe there are people who know what happened that night, but are afraid to speak up. They have teamed up with The Silent War to spread the message that the code against snitching is wrong. Murder is always wrong, and those responsible need to be caught to prevent more violence and to give mourning families closure, they said at a press conference June 20.
Tyrone Love's sisters said they need closure.
"It's still there, this mystery over your head of, 'Who did this to my brother?'" said Tyrone's sister Gweldolyn Love at the conference, which was held near the spot where the murder occurred. Gweldolyn and Christyna Bradford, another sister of Tyrone's, had tears when talking about the killing.
"We still need that closure," said Gwendolyn.
The Silent War is a local campaign lead by the Reverend Harriett Walden that urges youth to break the code of silence and help bring killers to justice. The group is launching a media campaign that includes online social media and flyers to help spread the word about how peopel with knowledge about a crime can report it. People can even make reports annonymously either through the SPD tips line or through the national organization Crime Stoppers. You can also text tips to crime stoppers.
More information on how to do that, from SPD:
Anyone with information regarding this incident is urged to call the Homicide tip line at (206) 233-5000. Anonymous tips are welcome. Calls are taken 24 hours a day.
Those not wanting to call police directly may call Crime Stoppers at 1-800 222-TIPS (8477) or send a text to CRIMES (274637). Your text message should include "TIP486" to ensure proper routing. If a tip leads to an arrest and the filing of charges, callers may qualify for a cash reward of up to $1000.

This is something I do not understand. We have all these killings and the neighbors don't speak because of some weak code. Don't snitch? Well stop complaining about the murders.
Tell me how many years this scenario happens. A young black youth is killed. T-shirts are made, people crying, pastors saying "we have to stop the killing" Way too many and it never changes because we have a bunch of losers in the neighborhood. I just get frustrated of people letting killers on the loose. Be men and take it stand.

Great guy, whose family really needs closure…please speak up, if you know anything about his killer(s). You'd want the same if it were your family member.

I'd love to know who you think you're protecting…it's not the good guys, that's for sure.

has anyone ever considered that people are afraid to snitch? i imagine they could be in fear of retaliation. folks are in fear of their lives. my heart goes out to the family and loved ones of Tyrone, but i can understand people's reluctance to come forward with any information.
Kyle on January 15, 2013 at 12:41 pm said:
I had the pleasure of meeting Tyrone briefly about a week before he was killed. I worked for a now closed company called Evans Glass, and it was my first night out attempting to sign up CD residents for a vinyl window demonstration at their convenience. Tyrone was the first person to sign one of my lead sheets, after only briefly speaking with me at his home. His words were along the lines of, "I always help little homies on their hustle." We shared a cigarette. I could tell he genuinely wanted to help me have a good first day on the job. I got dizzy when less than ten days later I found out he was killed a few feet from where I spoke with him. Whoever did this took from Seattle a young man whose kindness and integrity could be felt within seconds of meeting him. It really is a shame that no one has come forward.

LAGO PATRIA, Italy – ninety-eight students and 6 teachers from the High School "Gaetano De Bottis" located in Torre del Greco, Naples, Italy spent a day touring the facilities of Allied Joint Force Command Naples, December 12 in order to better understand the role of the NATO base within their community.
The students were welcomed and briefed by Dr. Diana Sodano, Community Relations Officer, about the structure, mission and goals of JFC Naples and were provided an overview of the new headquarters. As part of the presentation the students viewed a video about JFC Naples and its capabilities then received a brief by Italian Air Force Lt. Col. Luigi Verzelletti and Colonel Margaret Romero, Deputy JOC Director, via Video Tele Conference on the Joint Operations Center (JOC) and their activities. Colonel Romero also answered to some questions
of the students.
The students were then greeted in person by JFC Naples Chief of Staff, Italian Army Lt. Gen. Luciano Portolano who answered questions from the students. The questions ranged from military operations to the general's career.
Following the meeting with Lt.Gen. Portolano, the students were given the opportunity to be briefed on the NCIS Group 2nd NATO Signal Battalion activities at Parco Leonardo where Italian Army Cpt. Umberto Cervone gave them a complete overview of the Satellite Communication Activities.
The visit concluded with a walking tour of the base to include the community center, gym, library and the pool providing the students with a better idea on how NATO members live and work within their community.
This is part of the community relations campaign to establish a good cultural and social exchange with the external community and to strengthen the relationship with local and regional institutions.

Steve Martin & Martin Short - July 31, 2020
Steve Martin and Martin Short will bring their The Funniest Show in Town at the Moment on the road this summer with a stop at Jones Beach on Fri, July 31, 2020 - tix: http://STEVEMARTIN.jonesbeach.com
Supporting acts will be Paul Shaffer and Steep Canyon Rangers
The 15-date amphitheater trek, the follow-up to the comedians' An Evening You Will Forget for the Rest of Your Life and A Very Stupid Conversation tours.. Martin's bluegrass outfit the Steep Canyon Rangers will perform at select dates, as will former Late Show With David Letterman bandleader Paul Shaffer, current Jimmy Kimmel Live! pianist Jeff Babko, Della Mae and Alison Brown.
"There are few people that I truly admire and Steve Martin is very close to being one of them," Short said in a statement. Martin added: "Marty and I love touring, especially while we can still tolerate each other." "The Funniest Show in Town at the Moment is a show that redefines the form in unexpected and profound ways, from two of the funniest, most influential and acclaimed talents of the past century," organizers promise. "Their humor is often subversive, but it is always a joyous self-deprecating romp from two comedy masters driven to make each other laugh as much as the audience. The jokes come at you at a rapid-fire pace with little set-up and big punch lines as they mock Hollywood and the fickle nature of celebrity, but the comedy truly soars when they lovingly (and relentlessly) roast each other."
Martin began his career as a television writer and stand-up comedian before finding cinematic fame as the star of the movie "The Jerk." His other film credits include "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels," "Parenthood" and "Planes, Trains and Automobiles."
Short is best known for his work on sketch comedy shows "SCTV" and "Saturday Night Live," as well as his roles in movies including "Captain Ron," "Clifford" and "The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause." He also appeared with Martin in the "Father of the Bride" films.
Martin and Short, who met on the set of "The Three Amigos," have been touring together since 2015. Their sold-out tour "An Evening You Will Forget for the Rest of Your Life" inspired a 2018 Netflix special that earned four Emmy Award nominations.

Report: David West interested in Warriors and Spurs
By Dan FeldmanJul 2, 2015, 11:00 AM EDT
David West said he wants to play for a championship contender.
He already put his money where his mouth is by opting out with the Pacers and forgoing a guaranteed $12.6 million. He's unlikely to recoup that money as a free agent.
But just how much is he willing to sacrifice?
Sam Amick of USA Today:
According to a person with knowledge of his situation, the free agent forward … has serious interest in playing for the San Antonio Spurs or the Golden State Warriors.
The Warriors have the taxpayer mid-level exception ($3,376,000). Perhaps, they'd sign West and trade the similarly styled Marreese Speights ($3,815,000) to save a little money – savings that would be multiplied due to the luxury tax. Or they could keep both and have riches of big-men depth with Draymond Green, Andrew Bogut and Festus Ezeli. That becomes more palatable if West will take a minimum contract.
The Spurs could look to West if they strike out on LaMarcus Aldridge. If they get Aldridge, they'd still have the room exception ($2,814,000), though that probably goes to Tim Duncan or Manu Ginobili. Most likely, West would have to take a minimum contract.
If he wants to win a title, though, Golden State and San Antonio are excellent places to look.

The fields around Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, will always evoke the bloodiest battle in American history, fought here in 1863. But drive 11 miles east of town and you can see something very different: an 18th-century Jesuit chapel, one of the oldest Catholic churches in the United States.
When English and German Jesuits first came to "Penn's Woods" in the early 1700s to serve a growing immigrant population, they were technically here illegally, as Catholics were penalized under English law. Colonial Pennsylvania, however, enjoyed a spirit of religious tolerance and the area was only a few miles from Maryland, which was founded as a Catholic colony. The Conewago Valley — just north of the Mason-Dixon Line — served as a major nucleus of missionary activity and settlement in frontier Appalachia. Jesuits built their first log chapel here in 1741.
Renowned for their education and culture, it's not surprising that these Jesuits built one of the most impressive churches in rural America. Constructed out of locally quarried brownstone with help from their Mennonite neighbors, the chapel was dedicated in 1787, the year the U.S. Constitution was signed. Only a few other Catholic churches in the U.S. — mostly Spanish missions in the Southwest — are older.
The stone chapel's walls were an impressive three-feet thick. The beautiful frescoes inside were added much later, around 1849, by Franz Stecker, a young Austrian artist traveling in America. Though surrounded by Pennsylvania farmland, the overall feel inside the church is that of a Bavarian parish in the Alps.
Conewago Chapel also has a strange ghost story. Newspapers picked up on the tale in August 1903, three years after the Jesuits left. That year, the parish priest, Father Halftermyer, told a reporter that he was having trouble keeping assistants for more than two weeks at a time, due to a bizarre apparition and weird rapping noises around the place.
The priest hadn't seen the specter himself, but others described a "thing of mist, having the outlines of a human form garbed in ecclesiastical robes."
The spook was mostly nocturnal. One assistant claimed that "as he was lying awake in his bed, unseen fingers, having a temperature of the grave, seized his hair and pulled it vigorously. He started up just in time to see the dim outlines of a priestly figure vanish into mist. To have the covers pulled from their bed while they slept, and to awake to see the apparition dissolving, has been the common experience of all those assistants who occupied the sleeping chambers."
A reporter for The York Daily investigated the hauntings and attributed them to "bats, dogs, wind and water." Perhaps it was a practical joke — or something more sinister but still purely human. Catholic theology, for all that, allows that specters may indeed be very real, but are souls in purgatory in need of prayer, not fear.
Conewago Chapel was decreed a minor basilica in 1962 and is officially known as the Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Today it remains an active parish and is among the oldest continually operating in the country.
Conewago Chapel is eleven miles east of downtown Gettysburg on State Road 116 and four miles west of Hanover, Pennsylvania. The church is normally open visitors throughout the week, but call ahead to make sure the doors aren't locked. An old cemetery, one of the oldest in the Keystone State, sits out back.

Lagos govt seals Quilox club
The Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency has sealed off Club Quilox at Victoria Island, Lagos.
The Lagos Mail gathered that Quilox was sealed as a result of noise pollution and traffic congestion caused by the club on Ozumba Mbadiwe.
This is coming after the club organised its annual 36-hour party.
It has been previously reported that the police in Lagos State arrested and detained a member of the House of Representatives, Shina Peller, at the Moroko Police Station.
Peller, who is representing Iseyin/Itesiwaju/Kajola/Iwajowa Federal Constituency, Oyo State, was allegedly arrested while trying to take the bail of some clubbers.
In a statement by Peller's Press Secretary, Kola Popoola, the Police was reported to have detained and seized mobile phones of Peller.

Supreme Court Will Not Hear al‐Marri Appeal
By David Rittgers
The Supreme Court previously granted certiorari to the appeal of Ali Saleh Kahlah al‐Marri, the only enemy combatant taken into custody domestically and detained in a military brig. The Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit held that he could continue to be detained as an alleged al Qaeda operative without trial. The Supreme Court reversed its decision to hear the case today.
The Obama administration moved him back into the civilian criminal justice system, and denied that it was doing so to keep the lower domestic detainee precedent intact. It argued that denying review while vacating the Fourth Circuit's decision would serve the ends of justice. Apparently, the Court agreed.
As I have said before, domestic counterterrorism is a law enforcement task, not a military one. The Washington Post and New York Times both wanted the Supreme Court to hear the case and rule that domestic detention is unconstitutional.
Obama's actions seem to indicate either a lack of interest or a disagreement with the sweeping power claimed by President Bush, that presidents can simply whisk off any person in the U.S. — including citizens — to a military prison without a trial. But now that the Supreme Court has declined to rule on the executive's claims in this case, we will not have the benefit of a Supreme Court precedent repudiating the executive's overreach. Whether or not Obama tries to repeat what Bush did, another president will likely try to do it again. Not good.

Lazaretto
March 16, 2020 March 15, 2020 Niall O'Donnell 1 Comment
Not a word you come across every day, this one.
If you're understandably unfamiliar with it, it's a term for a building reserved for the quarantine of lepers or poor people with other diseases. I was reminded of it while writing earlier about the word quarantine and its Venetian origins.
Unsurprisingly the word is, like quarantine, of Italian origin, from lazareto. It may even also be specifically Venetian, related to a specific hospital there.
Lazareto itself is derived from Lazarus, the biblical character apparently resurrected by Jesus. This is because Lazarus, like most of the unfortunate inhabitants of a lazaretto, was both poor and suffered greatly from disease. Suffered so much that he died.
Sadly logical as that etymology is, hopefully the word also had some positive connotations for some. Lazarus after all, is most famous not for being poor, or sick, but for being resurrected. Hopefully that at least gave some small hope for recovery to some of those entering a lazaretto.

One thought on "Lazaretto"
Actually, there was another Lazarus mentioned in the Bible; he was in a story Jesus told:
"And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, a leper, who lay at the rich man's gate, covered with sores." He was hoping for a crust from the rich man's table but no one gave him anything.
That's more likely the Lazarus who was behind this word. Of the other Lazarus, raised from the dead by Jesus, nothing more is written about him after that.

Supporters Trust urge Cellino to quit Leeds United
Updated on October 20, 2015 By paul meadows Leave a comment
Leeds United Supporters Trust (LUST) has urged controversial owner Massimo Cellino to sell his controlling stake for the best interests of the club.
In what was another remarkable day in the recent history of the proud Yorkshire club, Cellino sacked Uwe Rosler on Monday after just five months in charge. This was the fifth manager the Italian has issued a P45 to since taking control of the club in April 2014, and he has wasted no time in finding a replacement after appointing former Rotherham United boss Steve Evans.
If that wasn't enough drama to chew over for one day, it then emerged that Cellino had been disqualified by the Football League. This is the second time he has been given such a punishment, following a previous tax conviction in his homeland, and although he has vowed to appeal this latest ban, LUST have urged him and Gulf Finance House to sell their stakes in the club.
A LUST statement read: "The Trust believes Leeds supporters have suffered enough over the years and therefore asks Massimo Cellino brings clarity and honesty to any public statements on the immediate future and consider the supporters' need for a stable club at all times in how he deals with his latest ban. If, and the case grows daily, it is in the best interests of Leeds United supporters he and GFH should sell, we call on them both to do so with efficiency."
