15 Best Things to Do in Pécs (Hungary)
In the 4th century Christianity flourished in the Roman city of Sopianae, now called Pécs in the southwest of Hungary.
Ancient mausoleums from that time are buried under the modern streets of the city, and are all inscribed as a single UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Some of these chambers hold skilfully carved sarcophagi and vivid frescoes of Christian figures like the Virgin Mary and Adam and Eve.
Fast forward a few centuries and modern Pécs has made a name for its ceramics, crafted at the Zsolnay factory.
Pyrogranite, invented here in 1886, was quickly adopted by the stars of the Hungarian Art Nouveau movement as colourful and hard-wearing decoration for their imaginative buildings.
Let's explore the best things to do in Pécs:
1. Early Christian Mausoleum

Early Christian Mausoleum
The ruins of the Roman city of Sopianae have been excavated all around Pécs, but maybe the most compelling discovery is the Early Christian Mausoleum.
Uncovered in 1975 and now part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site this mausoleum is one of several tomb monuments going back to the 4th century.
Like others found in Pécs, the cemetery chapel is unusual for the period as it had two levels, the top as a memorial chamber and the crypt for burials.
That chamber below has three marble sarcophagi and walls that are adorned with frescoes that have stood the test of time.
These are partly decorative patterns, but also show the Fall of Adam and Eve, the Tree of Life and Daniel in the Lion's Den.
2. Cella Septichora Visitors Centre

Cella Septichora Visitors Centre
Close by is another sepulchral early-Christian building that has no equivalent in the Danube region.
This chapel with seven apses was discovered between four and six metres below the ground.
Construction appears to have been broken off suddenly, and there's no record of any burial taking place here.
It contains the St Peter and Paul burial chamber, which has a vault coated with frescoes showing Peter and Paul pointing toward a Christ monogram, as well as Noah's dove with an olive branch, Jonah being cast in to the sea and Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.
3. Pécs Cathedral

Pécs Cathedral
Built on the foundations of an early-Christian basilica from the 4th century, Pécs Cathedral flourished during the mid-11th century reign of Peter Orseolo.
The building has Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance and neo-Romanesque architecture, as well as vestiges from Ottoman times when it became a warehouse.
Most of the facade is from a neo-Romanesque restoration in the 1880s, based on the 11th-century plans.
The oldest part of the cathedral is the "lower church", measuring 21 x 21 metres and with a white marble statue of the 19th-century bishop Nándor Dulánszky, who began the restoration project.
The cathedral's chapels are indispensible, with haunting frescoes by Károly Lotz and Bertalan Székely.
The latter painted the walls of the Mary and St Mór with images from famous moments in Hungarian history.
4. Zsolnay Museum

Zsolnay Museum
This museum for the 19th-century ceramicist and factory owner Vilmos Zsolnay is in the oldest house in Pécs, dating back to at least 1324. In the 15th century Hungary's first library was established inside, while under the Ottoman occupation a century later it became the official residence of the city's chief Imam.
The ceramics factory founded by Zsolnay's father, Miklós, in 1853 is still in operation today, and survived nationalisation in 1948. Its architectural decoration can still be seen on many buildings in Pécs.
The museum is a timeline of the Zsolnay factory's creations, like faience and pyrogranite, tinted with eosin dye.
There are some fabulous works from the start of the 20th century when Zsolnay was involved in the Hungarian Secession (Art Nouveau). Also worthwhile is a whole room of ceramics that Vilmos Zsolnay brought back from his travels in Egypt and Persia.
5. Zsolnay Cultural Quarter

Zsolnay Cultural Quarter
East of the historic centre, a whole cultural and recreational district has been set up around the renovated previously disused Zsolnay factory buildings.
This transformation coincided with Pécs' time as European Capital of Culture in 2010, when cultural institutions also moved into this five-hectare quarter.
The University of Pécs' Art Faculty was relocated here and its library is housed in a converted ceramics kiln.
The "Pyrogranite Court" is used as an outdoor exhibition area, and has almost constant live music and other outdoor performances in summer.
In the E78 building is a modern concert hall, and the Street of Artisans' Shops has ceramics studios, a popular chocolate shop, a restaurant and a cafe.
6. Széchenyi Square
Széchenyi Square
As the place where people gather in Pécs' city centre, Széchenyi Square was also spruced up for the city's spell as European Capital of Culture in 2010. On the borders of this long, irregular plaza are some of Pécs' big landmarks, like the city and council halls, the Nádor Hotel and the round dome of the Pasha Qasim Mosque-turned church, which we'll talk about below.
The city's Christmas tree is placed on Széchenyi Square in the advent period, and in September it's the focal point of the Pécs Days Festival, which coincides with the grape harvest and has stalls with wine from the Pécs and Villány regions.
On the south side of the square is a fountain donated by the Zsolnay family.
With an eosin glaze, this beautiful monument by the ceramicist Andor Pilch, has decorative oxen heads spouting water.
7. Mosque of Pasha Qasim
Mosque Of Pasha Qasim
Impossible to miss on the north side of Széchenyi Square is a striking reminder of Pécs' 150-year Ottoman occupation in the 16th and 17th centuries.
This place of worship went up in 1580. And although its minaret was brought down a few decades after the Habsburgs retook the city at the start of the 18th century, the octagonal main body of the mosque was simply converted into a Catholic church.
The building bears the hallmarks of Ottoman architecture in its plaster decoration and "Ablaq", alternating rows of dark and light stone on its arches.
You can also catch some inscriptions from the Koran on the walls.
The two holy water vessels in the church are former baths belonging to Pécs' pasha who resided next door.
8. Vasarely Museum
Vasarely Museum
The founder of the Op Art (Optical Art) movement, Victor Vasarely was born in Pécs in 1908. At 24 he moved to France, where he spent the rest of his career.
In 1968 he donated a trove of serigraph prints, sculptures and tapestries to his home city.
These were put on public display in 1976 and sum up the progress of his career, from his early Bauhaus serigraphs to the mind-bending and kinetic geometric shapes and illusions that made him famous in the 50s and 60s.
9. Csontváry Museum

Csontváry Museum
An eccentric and widely travelled painter, Tivadar Csontváry Kosztka never enjoyed much acclaim during his lifetime.
But since his death in 1919 his idiosyncratic work, influenced by post-Impressionism and Expressionism, has gained an audience, particularly in Hungary where his paintings now sell for more than a million Euros.
One of the first to recognise Csontváry's talent was the architect and collector Gedeon Gerlóczy who eventually loaned his collection to Pécs to open a museum in 1973. That initial exhibition of ten works grew significantly when the State of Hungary purchased nearly all of his oeuvre.
Csontváry's most celebrated piece, The Lonely Cedar (1907) is worth the admission alone.
10. Király Street
Király Street
Between Széchenyi Square and Felsőmalom Street, this elegant thoroughfare in the heart of Pécs is traffic-free.
On the route are galleries, restaurants, cafes, with terraces under awnings and neatly clipped lime trees.
The stucco-fronted Neoclassical and Historicist houses add a real sense of ceremony, and at some of the properties you can look through passages to courtyards and graceful stairways and ornamental rosettes.
At no. 5 is the gorgeous Art Nouveau lobby of the Palatinus Hotel from 1915, and the street widens into a small square by the neo-Baroque National Theatre, which opened in 1895. The Zsolnay Porcelain Factory produced the ornate pyrogranite reliefs on the Vasváry house at no. 19, and the Caflisch confectioner's shop at 32 is the oldest shop of its kind in the country, opening back in 1789.
11. Archaeological Museum and Lapidarium

Archaeological Museum And Lapidarium
The Archaeological Museum is in an 18th-century late-Baroque monument on Széchenyi Square.
In the courtyard are steles and sarcophagi recovered from the many Roman digs around the city.
One of the outstanding exhibits in the galleries is the Zengővárkonyi Madonna, a Neolithic idol of a woman approximately 6,000 years old.
Check out the Bronze Age artefacts going back 3,000 years and found at a settlement on the Jakab Hill not far away.
One of the most peculiar pieces is a Bronze Age pot in the shape of a bird from Zók, about 15 kilometres to the west.
12. Synagogue
Source: risteski goce / shutterstock
The city's Jewish community grew steadily from the 18th century, and by the 1930s the congregation at this synagogue was 4,000-strong.
After deportations and the holocaust that has dwindled to less than 300 today.
The Synagogue, dating to 1869, combines Neoclassical and Moorish Revival design.
The inscription on the facade above the clock reads "House of Prayer for All Nations", a quotation from the Book of Isaiah.
One of the building's claims to fame is that its organ was the first commission for the master organ manufacturer József Angster, installed the year synagogue was completed in 1869. This wonderful instrument has two manuals, 24 registers and more than 1,530 pipes.
13. Pécs TV Tower
Source: Istvan Csak / shutterstock
Pécs TV Tower
The tallest building in Hungary looms over the north of Pécs on the Misina peak in the Mecsek mountain range.
Comprising 18,500 tons of reinforced concrete, the tower was built between 1968 and 1973 and stands at 197 metres high.
A high-speed lift whisks you up to the cafe and observation platform at 72 metres, where there's a small exhibition about the komlosaurus dinosaur, discovered in the Mecsek range in 1983. But the main attraction is the cinematic view of Pécs and the Baranyai hills to the south.
When the weather's clear you can see the faint outline of eastern Croatia's Papuk mountain, some 100 kilometres to the southwest.
14. Pécs Zoo
Source: jaana piira / shutterstock
Pécs Zoo
On the way to the TV Tower in the first hills of the Mecsek range is Pécs' newly regenerated zoo.
The attraction had been closed since 2012 and reopened opened its doors in 2016 with many new species and more than 1,000 individual animals.
There's an aquarium with reef sharks, and modern enclosures for zebras, ring-tailed lemurs, cougars, Bengal tigers Persian leopards and lions.
The terrarium houses tree pythons, chameleons and seals in a multi-level building, and there are also brand new facilities for hippos, chimpanzees, crocodiles and a petting zoo.
Being in the Mecsek Mountains, the zoo also has an eco-park where you can get to know the animal and plant species native to the range.
15. Wine Tourism
Pecs Vineyard
The Romans introduced winemaking to Pécs 2,000 years ago, and this industry flourished from the early 18th century after the Ottoman period.
There has been another rebirth since the start of the Third Republic in 1989, and the south-facing slopes of the Mecsek mountains to the north are clad with vines growing mostly white Welschriesling, but also Chardonnay and Zierfandler.
The Villány region near the border with Croatia benefits from a sunnier climate and grows Blaufränkisch, Merlot, Syrah, Pinot Noir and Cabernets for some famously potent reds.
Look out for the "Classicus" and "Premium" labels, which are the gold standards.
If you'd like to get acquainted with southern Hungary's viticulture there are four wineries in the region open to tours (Hetényi, Radó Pince, István PInce Borozó and Matias).

The federal government has awarded a three-year, $6 million Title X grant to the Family Planning Council of Nebraska.
That grant in the past has gone to the state Department of Health and Human Services to distribute family planning funds to local community health clinics and organizations throughout Nebraska that apply for the money.
This year, the Family Planning Council of Nebraska, which has never applied for the Title X grant, applied directly for the funds after Gov. Pete Ricketts put a provision into the Nebraska state budget document limiting the use of the funds and the family planning clinics that could receive them, said Family Planning Council spokeswoman Marj Plumb.
The budget battle last year caused by Ricketts' Title X provision, and another potential one this year, was disheartening to the Family Planning Council and many of its providers, Plumb said.
She said the Family Planning Council, a nonprofit established in 1991, is looking forward to making sure all Nebraskans have access to quality, affordable family planning services.
Jane Rogers, board chairwoman of the Family Planning Council of Nebraska, said Nebraskans have a decades-long history of investing in family planning care through the Title X program. But the Ricketts provision took family planning services away from thousands of Nebraskans, she said.
"That can be devastating to the health of those who turn to this program for care — for some of whom it is their only source of health care. We're putting Nebraskans first — and prioritizing health over politics," Rogers said.
In prior years, the money funded services for approximately 28,000 Nebraskans each year, including birth control, cancer screenings, testing and treatment for sexually transmitted diseases, services for survivors of sexual assault, and well-woman exams. The services also help people both achieve and prevent pregnancy.
Federal regulations historically have prohibited the use of Title X family planning funds for abortion services, and did not fund abortions in Nebraska, Plumb said.
There was some controversy about that when a 2014-15 state audit showed abortion services by Planned Parenthood of the Heartland were mixed into Title X funding. The audit raised questions about whether HHS had adequate monitoring procedures to ensure payments were for allowable services.
Last year, a provision was inserted into the state budget that, after some state senators hammered out a compromise, allowed family planning clinics to refer patients for abortions only in emergency situations, in which a physician determined a pregnancy would cause death or serious impairment of a woman's physical function. It allowed most Title X clinics to continue providing essential reproductive services to low-income men and women.
But Planned Parenthood got none of the Title X funding, and still won't because of a new federal regulation finalized this month by the Trump administration.
With last year's compromise on the Ricketts provision, neutral, factual, nondirective information about prenatal care, delivery and pregnancy termination would not constitute a referral for abortion. But legal, physical and financial separation was required between a federally qualified clinic and an affiliated clinic that provided abortions.
The new federal regulation says a Title X recipient must have objective integrity and independence, but does not call specifically for legal, physical and financial separation.
The grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services will run from April 1 to March 31, 2022.
Plumb said the council's No. 1 priority will be to ensure "every single penny" from the federal grant is given to family planning providers for those services in Nebraska.

bigmikehouston Classical Music Blog January 1, 2023 January 1, 2023
Antonin Dvorak was a great Czech composer in the Romantic era of music. He is one of my favorite composers with his so many melodic compositions. His dramatic ninth symphony, "From The New World", is no different with its multitude of wonderful melodies.
Antonin Dvorak [September 8, 1841 – May 1, 1904]
Paraphrasing information from Wikipedia re: Dvorak's "New World Symphony": This popular symphony was composed in 1893 while he was visiting America and was the director of the New York Conservatory. Dvorak was very interested in and influenced by the old "Negro spirituals" and Native American melodies. This ninth symphony, commissioned by the New York Philharmonic, is filled with melodies Dvorak studied from those original spirituals and melodies.
Yes this European gave a great melodic story of this beloved "New World" with his wonderful ninth symphony. When I first heard the first two movements of this symphony it was actually like listening to a beautiful story. A story from America, told in melodies instead of words.
Continuing from Wikipedia: "In 1893, a newspaper interview quoted Dvořák as saying "I found that the music of the Negroes [sic] and of the Indians was practically identical", and that "the music of the two races bore a remarkable similarity to the music of Scotland". Most historians agree that Dvořák is referring to the pentatonic scale, which is typical of each of these musical traditions."
Dvorak, it is reported, stated: "I am convinced that the future music of this country must be founded on what are called Negro melodies. These can be the foundation of a serious and original school of composition, to be developed in the United States. These beautiful and varied themes are the product of the soil. They are the folk songs of America and your composers must turn to them."
On a personal note, I first remember hearing the beginning of the final exciting movement of the New World Symphony, played many years ago on the broadcast every night of the Bobby Fischer/Boris Spasky chess championship in 1972 they showed on PBS. At that time I knew nothing of classical music, but I knew I loved that thrilling music and had to find out where it came from. Many years later when I finally became deeply interested in classical music I found out it came from the great Antonin Dvorak and his Symphony "From The New World."
This very popular symphony is in E-minor with four movements: 1.Adagio – Allegro 2. Largo 3. Scherzo 4. Allegro con fuoco.
Note: while the final movement seems to be leading to a tremendous and loud crescendo, surprisingly and uniquely, it ends in a prolonged sweet soft note.
Please turn up the volume and enjoy this great Bohemian's musical description from the New Word, America.

What the heck is a proto-scholar?
≈ Comments Off on What the heck is a proto-scholar?
Proto – Adjective – from the Greek proto- meaning the earliest form of whatever it is attached to.
I see myself as a proto-scholar. I am currently finishing up classwork on a PhD in Education Policy, a horrifically cross-disciplinary field if there ever was one. I came to this path rather oddly however, having worked for almost 20 years in information technology and gotten an MBA on the way.
I am used to thinking like an engineer; see a problem, fix problem, move on to next problem. But that isn't the life of a scholar. A scholar looks deeply, thinks about the "big questions" and may work on the same problem for the rest of their life. "Long study" as the definition above says.
I am not adapting as well as I could, and I doubt that I am alone. Even without the prior career, the transition from student to scholar that occurs during graduate school is a large one, involving a change in the way we look at the world, how we deal with it and what we do with our time. More thinking and reading and writing, less doing as I have defined it in my previous life.
This blog will be to wrestle with the process of becoming a scholar. Sometimes it may be tips on how to better manage time or questions about struggles I am having. Other times it may be deep thoughts about my topic or the process of thinking deep in general. (I'll try to keep the citations to a minimum.) Yet others it may be something that made me laugh or annoyed me, although I'll try to focus on how my emerging scholarly identity shapes my perceptions of those things. I hope that someone somewhere finds some value in this rambling.

Peter's research interests are in the social and cultural geography of East Asian development. Within this broad area his focus has been on the following:
• The theory and practice of permanent employment in large organizations,
• Work and its representation in popular culture, and
• Population, environment, and regional development in post-industrial society.
Peter has published widely in the above fields, including four books, chapters in edited volumes, and peer reviewed articles in leading scholarly journals, including Japan Forum, Social Science Japan Journal, Organization, Asian Business & Management, Local Environment, and Gender, Work and Organization. He has peer reviewed research for Japan Forum, Social Science Japan Journal, Contemporary Japan, electronic journal of contemporary japanese studies, Pacific Affairs, Sociology, The Sociological Quarterly, American Ethnologist, International Journal of Law, Crime and Justice, and Environmental Politics, as well as the Economic and Social Research Council, the British Council, Cambridge University Press, and Routledge.

Currently he is working on a co-authored monograph on Lifetime Employment in 21st Century Japan, as well as articles on depopulation and regional sustainability in East Asia, and postdoctoral career formation in Japanese studies.
In the future, Peter plans to research the relationship between demographic change and resource consumption in Japan's rural regions, focusing on the spatial impacts of depopulation on resource demand.
Other Projects and Interests
Peter has an interest in internet communications and the publishing industry. He is the founder and publishing editor of both the electronic journal of contemporary japanese studies and Paulownia Press. The former recently celebrated its tenth year in continuous publication and has published more than 200 refereed articles, discussion papers and reviews, while the latter has published three volumes on war memory and reconciliation in Asia.
In addition to these, Dr Matanle led the redevelopment of the British Association for Japanese Studies website and, as a part of this, the 'Discover Japanese Studies' project. The latter is a set of web and CD-based materials designed to inform secondary school students about Japanese studies as a potential subject of study at university, which was generously supported by grants from the British Association for Japanese Studies, GB-Sasakawa Foundation, Daiwa Anglo-Japanese Foundation, Japan Foundation, Japan Airlines, and the Embassy of Japan in the UK.

I firmly believe that education should be a transformative process, for students as well as lecturers; that we all learn from and grow as a result of the challenges that teaching and learning bring to each participant. In order for that to occur, students and lecturers should be open to information and experiences that may contradict and challenge received understandings. I hope that students will come to my class wanting to discover something new about the world, to confront themselves and their preconceived ideas, and wishing to use their education for the benefit of themselves and others.
To accommodate students' different learning styles and needs, I like to vary the mode of deliver of my teaching through a mixture of lectures, seminars, group and individual work, and analysis of visual materials. I expect students to read in depth and be familiar with the most up-to-date scholarly debates not only in preparation for their classes and assessments, but to to use these as the basis for developing their own ideas and frameworks for thinking about the world. I want all my students to feel comfortable about expressing their thoughts freely and confidently, and to participate as an active member of a dynamic scholarly community.
Dr Matanle has experience of both press and broadcasting, having been interviewed by the BBC, the New York Times and the Financial Times, written for the Guardian online, and having appeared as an invited foreign discussant by Japan's national broadcaster NHK to a studio debate on Japan's 'lifetime employment system'.

Johann Georg II. (* 24. Juli 1665 in Friedewald; † 10. November 1698 in Eisenach) war Herzog von Sachsen-Eisenach und entstammte der ernestinischen Linie des Hauses Wettin.

Johann Wilhelm wurde als Sohn des Herzogs Johann Georg I. von Sachsen-Eisenach und dessen Ehefrau Johanetta von Sayn-Wittgenstein geboren. Nach dem Tod seines Vaters wurde er 1686 regierender Herzog von Sachsen-Eisenach. Am 20. September 1688 heiratete er in Kirchheim unter Teck Sophie Charlotte (1671–1717), Tochter des Herzogs Eberhard III. von Württemberg und seiner zweiten Frau Maria Dorothea Sophia von Oettingen.

Er starb kinderlos im Alter von 33 Jahren an den Pocken; nach seinem Tod erbte deshalb sein jüngerer Bruder Johann Wilhelm den herzoglichen Thron.

There's no cure for aging, but resveratrol, a compound found in many plants, has given mice longer lifespans and has provided other indications of rejuvenation. While the compound may not be able to remove wrinkles or restore hair, it's at least a step in that direction: after all, you're only as old as you feel. What exactly is resveratrol? Where can we find it? And what can it do for us when taken as a supplement?
Q10 may not be as well-known as other vitamins and minerals, but it is nonetheless important to health and a deficiency leads to myopathy, muscle weakness. How can you ensure that you avoid Q10 deficiency? Are there benefits to supplementing with Q10? And how can we ensure that we get the Q10 we need?
Magnesium is an essential part of our diet that our body requires to function properly, but it remains something of a mystery to many people: What foods naturally contain vital amounts of the nutrient, what are the benefits of Magnesium, and what happens if we don't get enough of it?
Vitamin D is perhaps best known as the "sunshine vitamin." We get most of our vitamin D from sunlight but can also find it in foods such as tuna, cheese, and eggs and some foods, such as cereal and milk, are often fortified with the nutrient.
Despite its abundance, vitamin D deficiencies abound. One study estimates that as many as one billion people worldwide don't get sufficient vitamin D. What is vitamin D? What happens when we don't get enough of it? And how can we ensure that we do?

CA okays Skybird's takeover of Ngoma Lodge
… but insists on recruitment of a native as General Manager
TLOTLO KEBINAKGABO
The Botswana Competitions Authority has given Skybird (Pty) Ltd the greenlight to acquire 100 percent shares in Ngoma Lodge.
In approving the transaction, CA stated that the acquisition will not alter the structure of the market for provision of safari lodge accommodation and related activities in the Chobe District and that the result of the acquisition will not result in the new entity attaining any dominant position.
But Ngoma Lodge has a joint venture agreement with Chobe Enclave Community Trust (CECT) that whose terms CA says have been violated by both parties. A key part of the agreement relates to recruitment of an understudy from the community to be trained for the position General Manager. Because this has not been done, CA approved the acquisition of Ngoma by Skybird on certain conditions.
Among these are that the new entity must ensure recruitment of a citizen as Assistant General Manager who will be an understudy to the General Manager at Ngoma Lodge within six months. "The appointed Assistant General Manager should be appointed as General Manager within a period of two years," CA pronounced.
"There should also be no retrenchment as a result of the acquisition while employees of Ngoma Lodge should continue to work on terms and conditions of their employment before the acquisition.
Under the deal, the Sky Bird is required to ensure that it works harmoniously with CECT with the terms and conditions that that are not less favourable than the ones that are already in place with Ngoma. "In the event that Skybird intends to sell the Ngoma business, they must give priority to CECT through the principle of right to refusal," said CA.
Should this not happen, "a clear justification for the decision not to sell to CECT must be communicated to us at least two months before selling the business", it said.

In the Wake of the Third Great Awakening
THE YMCA, which had recently been founded, arose to play a large part in the Third Great Awakening in cities such as Philadelphia and Chicago. The organization was for years a specifically evangelical Christian ministry intended to provide Christian training and a wholesome atmosphere for underprivileged young men who lived and worked in the big cities. Timothy Smith has written of the "fervently religious orientation of the mid-century YMCA" and "its intimate bond with the churches. Leading ministers participated in the 'Y' affairs at all levels."
The Philadelphia YMCA sponsored a prayer meeting that drew 300 people daily. It began at noon, but people started gathering at 11 so they would be assured of a seat. The 'Y' also held an evangelistic campaign using a tent that could hold 1,200 people.
The Chicago YMCA served as a great training school for laypersons. Dwight L. Moody received his first opportunities for Christian service there.
The colleges of America were heavily influenced by the Awakening of 1858. Beyond the many conversions that took place, large numbers of enthusiastic students volunteered for service in foreign missions, or in the ministry.
The historian J. Edwin Orr wrote:
. . . The influence of the awakening was felt everywhere in the nation. It first captured great cities, but it also spread through every town and village and country hamlet. It swamped schools and colleges. It affected all classes without respect to condition. . . . It seemed to many that the fruits of Pentecost had been repeated a thousandfold. . . . the number of conversions reported soon reached the total of fifty thousand weekly. . . .
Coming on the eve of the Civil War, with the land torn apart by bitterness, the Awakening of 1858 was astounding. God seemed to be strengthening his people for the great trial to come. Yet the awakening did not end with the coming of the opening shots of the Civil War in 1861.
During the agonies of war, both the northern and southern armies experienced awakenings in the camps. Early in the war a large awakening occurred in the Army of Northern Virginia, and spread throughout the Confederate forces. Even in the tragic atmosphere of death and suffering, the awakening continued.

Why Disney World's newest show is causing controversy
While battling the Actors Equity Association over how to safely bring performers back to work, Disney World recently replaced the longrunning "Beauty and the Beast — Live on Stage" show with an actor-less production
By Lottie Elizabeth Johnsonlottiejohnson@deseretnews.com
SHARE Why Disney World's newest show is causing controversy
In this March 16, 2020, file photo, the entrance to the parking lot at the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World is closed in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. Upon reopening in July, Walt Disney World has been in a dispute with the Actors' Equity Association over safety protocols.
While battling the Actors' Equity Association over how to safely bring performers back to work, Disney World recently replaced the longrunning "Beauty and the Beast — Live on Stage" show with an actor-less production.
Following the COVID-19 shutdown, Disney World reopened in July, reaching return-to-work agreements with multiple unions, according to the Orlando Sentinel.
But the Actors' Equity Association — which represents 750 performers at Disney World — would not sign a "memorandum of understanding" that detailed safety guidelines for performers, the Orlando Sentinel reported.
The labor union — which represents more than 50,000 professional actors and stage managers nationwide — called for Disney to offer regular COVID-19 testing for performers and to allow actors to wear masks. Disney declined both options, according to the Orlando Sentinel, emphasizing the safety protocols already in place.
Except for two theaters in Massachusetts, the union has not yet allowed its members to accept contracts for live productions in the country — Broadway remains shut down until at least Jan. 3, 2021, and established traditions like the Utah Shakespeare Festival have been affected by this mandate.
"It's going to take time to develop proper safety protocols for live theater, and until we have those protocols in place, it's just not safe for you to work," the union said in a letter sent out to its membership on May 12, the Deseret News reported.
Amid this conflict, Walt Disney World canceled back-to-work notices for Equity performers — an action the union considers retaliatory and not allowed under its contract with Disney, which runs through 2022, according to the Orlando Sentinel.
Disney World has since gone on to revamp a bird-show attraction at Animal Kingdom, replacing Equity actors with Disney employees who are "animal behavior specialists," Deadline reported.
On Sunday, the company also revamped its "Beauty and the Beast" show. In the new 20-minute production, called "The Disney Society Orchestra and Friends," six musicians play classic Disney tunes. For the finale, non-Equity Disney employees dressed as Belle, the Beast, Mrs. Potts, Lumiere, Cogsworth and Chip quietly take the stage and wave goodbye to the audience, according to Deadline.
"Did Walt Disney World also buy the FastPass for union busting when it reopened the parks?" Brandon Lorenz, Communications Director at Actors' Equity, said in a statement to Deadline. "It is deeply disappointing that Disney has locked performers out, after Walt Disney World refused to allow masks and testing for performers, a lower safety standard than so many other park workers."
In response, a Disney spokesperson told Deadline that seven unions had signed agreements.
"The Actors' Equity rejected our safety protocols and have not made themselves available to continue negotiations, which is unfortunate," the spokesperson said. "We are exercising our right to open without Equity performers."
The union filed a grievance, and the two sides are expected to start discussions this week, according to Deadline.
Some Disney World performers who are a part of the Actors' Equity Association are asking the union to drop the fight with Disney over safety precautions, believing it puts their jobs at risk, the Wall Street Journal reported.
"While we appreciate our union's efforts on our behalf, we strongly believe that Disney has taken the necessary safety precautions for a phase one reopening, and that we deserve a voice in the assessment of these new protocols," the group said in a statement, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Other Disney World shows that use Equity actors performers, like "Voyage of the Little Mermaid," "Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular" and "Finding Nemo — The Musical," remain closed, according to the Orlando Sentinel.

Researchers at Binghamton University, State University of New York have created a bacteria-powered battery on a single sheet of paper that can power disposable electronics. The manufacturing technique reduces fabrication time and cost, and the design could revolutionize the use of bio-batteries as a power source in remote, dangerous and resource-limited areas.
"Papertronics have recently emerged as a simple and low-cost way to power disposable point-of-care diagnostic sensors," said Assistant Professor Seokheun "Sean" Choi, who is in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department within the Thomas J. Watson School of Engineering and Applied Science. He is also the director of the Bioelectronics and Microsystems Lab at Binghamton.
"Stand-alone and self-sustained, paper-based, point-of-care devices are essential to providing effective and life-saving treatments in resource-limited settings," said Choi.
On one half of a piece of chromatography paper, Choi and PhD candidate Yang Gao, who is a co-author of the paper, placed a ribbon of silver nitrate underneath a thin layer of wax to create a cathode. The pair then made a reservoir out of a conductive polymer on the other half of the paper, which acted as the anode. Once properly folded and a few drops of bacteria-filled liquid are added, the microbes' cellular respiration powers the battery.
Different folding and stacking methods can significantly improve power and current outputs. Scientists were able to generate 31.51 microwatts at 125.53 microamps with six batteries in three parallel series and 44.85 microwatts at 105.89 microamps in a 6×6 configuration.
It would take millions of paper batteries to power a common 40-watt light bulb, but on the battlefield or in a disaster situation, usability and portability is paramount. Plus, there is enough power to run biosensors that monitor glucose levels in diabetes patients, detect pathogens in a body or perform other life-saving functions.
The innovation is the latest step in paper battery development by Choi. His team developed its first paper prototype in 2015, which was a foldable battery that looked much like a matchbook. Earlier this year they unveiled a design that was inspired by a ninja throwing star.
The current work is available online in the journal Advanced Materials Technologies and will be presented at the IEEE MEMS 2017 conference in Las Vegas, Nevada on Jan. 22-26.
The research was supported by two different grants from the National Science Foundation.

How smooth your model appears in virtual reality is affected by a series of items, such as hardware and model size which in turn affect your frame rates.
1. Check and confirm that your computer has the necessary hardware to run virtual reality software. Our recommended computer specs are posted here.
2. Check and confirm that all your virtual reality headset cables are plugged in. This can seem an obvious step, but with use, cables can become loose and not transfer data properly. If using an HTC Vive without the sync cable, consider adding the cable for stability.
3. If you're using a laptop, we strongly recommend keeping it plugged into the charger whenever possible. Powering a VR experience is very intensive, and relying entirely on battery power is known to cause degraded performance.
1. Turning off pieces of the model that are "nice-to-haves". For example, trees, people, and cars can make a 3D file grow quite large and lower frame rates very quickly.
2. If you are using 3D components from product manufacturers, check them for excess details. For instance, chairs, windows, kitchens that can be downloaded from the internet are often modeled in very high detail including components such as highly detailed tiny screws. These are useful for drawing sets, but not always necessary for seeing in virtual reality.
3. Consider bringing in a smaller version of the 3D model. For example, if you have a 10 story building or a 10-mile campus massing model, trimming down the area to 5 stories or a few blocks can quickly improve the quality in-VR.
At IrisVR, we are constantly working on optimizing our core technology so that you do not need to make adjustments to your model and can bring in any file size for viewing in virtual reality.


A bridge loan is a loan extended over a project in transition, while waiting for the main financing to arrive. It can span over a period of several weeks to several years. The main financing is expected to pay for the bridge loan, also called swing loan.
A bridge loan would have higher rates and will be taken under unusual circumstances requiring speed, such as acquiring properties in foreclosure, or financing constructions until they reach certain phase of development to qualify for the main financing. A bridge loan may be used for commercial and residential properties and is not exceeding 80% LTV.
As a bridge loan is considered a high-risk short-term loan, with rates over 12% and without full documentation, it will not be extended by common lending institutions such as banks. Rather, private investors specializing in high risk investments will fund bridge loans.


The Seventh-day Adventist Church, known for its belief and strong emphasis in wholistic health, has joined forces with the Ministry of Health to impact Jamaica in its fight against non-communicable diseases (NCDs).
Through the church's Mission Project 2019 initiative themed "Wholistic Health for Personal and National Transformation," the church gave its undertaking to adopt 100 government clinics under its adopt-a-clinics program to see to the upgrade of physical infrastructures where necessary and educate Jamaicans who use the facilities among other things.
"We will encourage churches within the region where some 100 clinics were identified by the Ministry of Health to visit their local health facilities and identify opportunities to provide support to the health professionals, explained Pastor Everett Brown, President of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Jamaica during a press conference held on Jan. 8, 2019, at the church's eastern region headquarters in Kingston.
The church will also provide qualified and competent personnel to do the presentations through the Adventist Health Professionals Association-AHPA, which it has in each of its five regions.
"Good health today has to be described not as an occasion, it has to be more profoundly seen as a lifestyle, it is not an event as important as events are, it is a habit, it is what we practice on an ongoing basis said Dr. the Hon. Christopher Tufton, Minister of Health.
Dr. Tufton emphasized that for too long focus has been on the number of hospitals there are or the number of doctors, or the number of beds available in hospitals. "What that means is that we are focused more on the curative side of health care, fixing the problem after the problem exist and very little effort focused on how do we prevent the problem from getting there in the first place," said Tufton.
Some of the projects included in Mission Project 2019 are health expos and health fairs, health symposiums and seminars, exercise clubs, health walk/runs, and cooking classes.
The epicentre of Mission Project 2019 is in the western region, where citizens in Savanna-la-mar, Lucea and Santa Cruz will also benefit. A major health expo will take place at the Sam Sharpe Square on February 2.
The Seventh-day Adventist Church also used the occasion to endorse the Health Ministry's Jamaica Moves program which is in line with the church's core values and beliefs in wholistic health.
"We commend the efforts of the Ministry of Health (MOH), in particular Jamaica Moves, which emphasises exercise, eating healthy and adopting a healthful lifestyle. We are not only here to endorse the initiative but we will be partnering with the MOH as we seek to improve the lives of our citizens," said Pastor Brown.
Since 2018, the Adventist Church has been involved in "Mission Project 2019". In addition to the evangelistic aspect, a major component is the focus on health. Many health-related community outreach projects have been undertaken and will continue to be carried out in various communities across the island via the over 750 congregations.
To give support to this major health initiative, more than dozens of world church leaders, headed by the President of the Adventist World Church Pastor Ted Wilson will be in Jamaica next month for a global leadership summit on healthy lifestyle. They will also join the church across the western region communities already inlvoved in promoting healthful living.
Plans are underway to share health presentations to various sectors and groups including the security force, teachers, business personnel, the clergy and more, church leaders said.
The Seventh-day Adventist Church in Jamaica has more than 307,000 church members worshiping in 750 congregations. The Church oversees 29 primary and secondary schools, a university and a hospital.


Skinny Jeans & a Chai Latte: Adventures in packing :: How to pack a backpack + small carry on.
Adventures in packing :: How to pack a backpack + small carry on.
After planning out what I was going to wear for our hiking/exploring trip to Europe, D and I made the decision to take our backpacks (which we took on our first trip to Europe) as opposed to our rolling carry-on suitcases. While I'm usually one to save money instead of checking bags, we made this decision for a couple reasons. First, we're flying Delta and get free checked bags on those long-leg flights. Second, we're going to be doing a ton of travel via train after our hike is over. In my opinion, this is a really important aspect when attempting to decide what luggage to take. Lugging a rolling suitcase (of any size) up tons of stairs or through narrow train (or plane) isles can be a pain. Even though a big backpack can seem cumbersome, it's a lot easier to get around.
My Kelty has served me well. It has a ton of pockets, and the top portion can be disconnected to serve as a fanny pack if that's your thing. There's so much going on though, it's hard to know where to start when packing this huge thing.
If your backpack has a bottom zippered pocket, reserve that for your shoes. If you're not using a backpack, try to pack your shoes first. It'll help your suitcase to not be top heavy and fall over all the time.
Quick tip: Stuff your socks inside your shoes before packing them. I'll mostly be wearing sandals or my Chucks and won't need many socks. I am taking two pair of sweat wicking socks for the hike, so I stuffed those inside my boots.
PACK THICKEST/BIGGEST ITEMS ON THE BOTTOM.
As long as you won't be using these items first (for instance I won't be using my dresses or jeans on our hike which is the first part of our trip). After we finish our hike, I'll move those pieces to the bottom.
Next load up the items you'll need first. I topped off the jeans and dressed with my hiking and yoga pants.
I would strongly suggest using packing bags. I find it helpful to have my clothes sorted, so I'm not constantly digging through my bag trying to find a specific shirt. This would also cause me more stress because I would be constantly folding & re-folding clothes within my backpack. I used Eagle Creek Pack-It Compression Cubes, and they work wonders! They have a lifetime guarantee and honestly hold much more than you think they would. Plastic ziplock bags, old Toms shoes bags, or these adorable bags Anna used to pack for a west coast trip would work too. Anything to separate and easily navigate within your bag will do!
In the smaller of my compression cubes, I packed six tanks (I ended up moving the camisole to the bigger cube).
In my larger cube, I packed four shirts and two pair of shorts. In both cubes I found it easier to keep the shirts folded instead of rolled. It really depends on what works for you.
I'm not 100% sure if wrinkles will be a problem, but I'm planning to have access to a hair dryer most of the trip. If you won't have a dryer, pick up something like this from Downy. Target almost always has travel sizes of that or a similar product.
I threw the cubes on top of my pants in the backpack. Following that I layered a button-down shirt. Wrinkles are a concern with the chambray, so I put that on top with very little on top of it.
I have that handy "fanny pack" on the top of my bag, so I threw in lighter pieces including a sweatshirt, packable rain jacket (necessity for a hiking trip), and my hats. It's possible I'll switch around the toiletry bag. The issue I have with the toiletries being on top is that they could get banged around in the checked-bag process. I don't want anything to bust or get broken, so that's a detail to bear in mind when packing a bag that isn't hard on the outside.
Finally the front zippered pocket is reserved for the lightest items (which will also protect toiletries or items on the inside) such as underwear, scarves, bras, and swimsuits.
The last and final element of packing was including my small daypack with a hydration bladder which I'll use for the hike. If you're into it, you can just use your daypack as your carry-on. For me, I didn't want to carry something on my back around Spanish cities since I feel like it's an invitation for pickpockets. I also like a bag I can easily reach into when I need something. My daypack is smaller than my purse, so I chose to pack it.
While it may not look like it, the day pack slipped in easily on top with all the straps tucked in underneath.
Last, but not least, is the carry-on. Finding the perfect purse was important and difficult. I often use my Kate Spade Minka, but it's orange and just wasn't going to work for the summer months. I also needed something that zipped across the top (no pickpocketing!) and fit my DSLR.
I'm still debating two options for my carry on. The above includes my ONA camera organizer. It's important for me because it keeps my camera from getting scratched up or lost in the mix in the satchel. It is a tad bit big for the satchel especially when I include a few other larger items like my wallet & kindle.
Nonetheless, there are some important necessities you want to have in your carry-on.
Am I leaving anything out? Including my camera, the satchel is heavy. I wouldn't want much more aside from maybe my glasses and a few toiletries (to brush teeth and on the chance that my checked bag gets lost).
Girl, I swear, I did the exact same thing when I backpacked through Europe for two weeks. I borrowed a backpack from a friend, but used the packing cubes, and those were SO helpful. I also took a lot of clothes similar to you that could dry quickly overnight, etc.
My friend and I also coordinated books - we each brought three and then swapped when we were done. And when we had both read a book, we wrote a note in the front cover and just left them in random places - our room in Paris, the Munich train station, etc. I like to think that some German dude is walking around with my copy of "The Time Traveler's Wife".
Have an AMAZING trip! When do you leave???
I really need to get some of those packing cubes- I've heard some great things! I used to have vacuum bags, which I swore by!
Wow, you are such an efficient packer! I love using a backpack too; that's what I used when I studied abroad in Senegal and it made it easier to move my things through different homestays and travel.
This was a good, informative post!

Bombus crotchii (saknar svenskt namn) är en insekt i överfamiljen bin (Apoidea) och släktet humlor (Bombus) som finns i Nordamerika.

Utseende
Huvudet är svart, främre delen av mellankroppen gul och den bakre (större) delen svart, första (främsta) tergiten (ovansidans bakkroppssegment) likaså svart (även om vissa honor [drottningar och arbetare] kan ha gula sidor på denna tergit) och det andra gult (hos vissa honor kan den mittersta delen emellertid vara svart). De tredje och följande bakkroppssegmenten kan alla vara antingen svarta eller orangeröda, på sådant sätt att det svarta området går framifrån och bakåt: Antingen ett helt svart område, ett svart följt av ett orangerött, eller helt orangerött.. Drottningen har en kroppslängd av 20 till 28 mm, arbetarna omkring 12 mm, och hanarna omkring 16 mm.

Ekologi
De övervintrande drottningarna kommer fram i slutet av februari, de första arbetarna i början på april, och hanarna i början av juli. Kolonin dör ut i slutet på oktober, med undantag för de nya drottningarna som går i ide under jorden. Bombus crotchii samlar nektar och pollen framför allt från familjerna ärtväxter, kransblommiga växter, korgblommiga växter, strävbladiga växter (som facelior), oleanderväxter och vallmoväxter (som solvallmosläktet och sömntutesläktet). Den är även vanlig på lejongapssläktet, clarkior och Eriogonum. Arten förekommer från havsytans nivå upp till 2 500 m.

Utbredning
Bombus crotchii finns i västra Nordamerika från centrala Kalifornien i USA till norra Baja California i Mexiko Den har även påträffats i Montana (1901) samt i östra USA: Michigan (1903), New York (1903) och Massachusetts (1904).

Carbon sequestration is the process by which carbon dioxide is absorbed during photosynthesis, and is stored as carbon in biomass (trunks, branches, foliage, and roots). Gains in forest carbon stocks through growth and sequestration will reach a maximum level over time, and are eventually offset by carbon losses through harvesting, thinning, and natural decay.
The above-ground live biomass, which includes the stem, branches, and leaves or needles.
The below-ground live biomass, which is the root system of the tree. Once the tree is harvested this usually decays slowly.
The coarse woody debris, which includes all larger woody material left on the forest floor after any pruning, thinning or harvesting operations. This coarse woody debris decays over time.
The fine litter, which is composed of decaying leaves or needles, and small branches and twigs. This usually increases slowly over time, until a balance between average annual litter inputs and decay is reached.
The forest estate is already a significant store of carbon and there is potential for this to grow further with farm and larger-scale plantings of both exotic and indigenous forest species.
World concern about global warning as a result of human activity has led to New Zealand signing the Kyoto Protocol. This commits New Zealand to reducing its net greenhouse emissions to 1990 levels by 2012. New Zealand has chosen to introduce an emissions trading scheme to manage its Kyoto commitments. The ETS essentially puts a price on the emission of greenhouse gases.
Because New Zealand's rapidly growing plantation forests are estimated to sequester (absorb) 25 million tonnes of CO 2 from the atmosphere each year, they have an important role to play in the country meeting its Kyoto commitments and forestry was the first sector to enter the Emissions Trading Scheme in January 2008.
Forest biomass consists of about 50 percent carbon and over time most of the change in forest carbon stocks comes from changes in the biomass of the four biomass 'pools' listed above. Changes in the amount of carbon stored in forest soils also occur over time, but these are small and difficult to measure at reasonable cost. Changes in forest soil carbon will not be required to be measured under the ETS.
The climate change policy for forestry is still evolving. Initially the government announced that it would retain all credits and liabilities associated with growing forests. Under pressure from forest growers the government reversed this decision and owners of post-1989 forests now have the option of assuming both carbon credits and liabilities. Issues still remain around the treatment of owners of pre-1990 forestry who face a significant liability for any deforestation that occurs. Deforestation is forest clearance, followed by a change to another land use (for example, to grazing). After deforestation, the deforested area is classified as non-forest land.
Pre-1990 forest land is an area of forest land covered by predominantly exotic forest species that was established on or before 31 December 1989 and that remained forest land on 31 December 2007.
a crown cover with an average width of at least 30 metres.
Forest species are trees capable of reaching five metres in height at maturity in the place they are growing.
Some of the rules under the Land Use, land Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF) section of the Kyoto protocol that New Zealand has signed up to are illogical and have had a negative and disruptive impact on forest investment in New Zealand because the government has chosen to directly apply these same distortions through domestic policy.
FOA is working hard to ensure that problems with the LULUCF rules are addressed both domestically and internationally. Improved rules can optimise the contribution forests and land use activities can make to addressing climate change, while maintaining environmental integrity and leading to other environmental co-benefits that will contribute to sustainable development.
