Bedrock to bottle: Quarry rehabilitation gets creative in Niagara Region
By Walker Industries
Photo: Walker Aggregates
Walker Industries has been producing stone, sand and gravel for over 130 years and creating vineyards and beehives along the way. Through the company's aggregates division, with quarry operations in Ontario's Niagara, Simcoe and Essex regions, Walker has fulfilled its commitment to rehabilitation and then some.
Land rehabilitation is a requirement of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry. All Ontario quarries must have a comprehensive rehabilitation plan set out in the initial approval process and as part of their ongoing site management. For Walker this means progressively rehabilitating sites throughout the life of a quarry, returning the land to an approved or better state than it was prior to operations, in order to support the needs and character of the community.
For Walker's Vineland quarry in the Niagara region this meant supporting Ontario's thriving wine industry. Edgerock Vineyard was a quarry rehabilitation project started in 1999 through a partnership between Walker Industries and the University of Guelph. The goal was to create a successfully functioning vineyard on extracted land as part of a research project for agricultural rehabilitation. For John and Norris Walker who were running Walker Industries at that time, "They wanted to revolutionize quarry rehabilitation and were willing to experiment creatively to do so," explains Frank Kielbowich, general manager for Walker Aggregates Niagara Region and the Western Greater Toronto Area.
In Phase 1 of the experiment, the quarry overburden was moved and regraded to shape the vineyard's south-facing slope. The unique depth of the slope allowed for an increase in sunlight for the vineyard as well as the moderation of wind and temperatures on the land. This made it possible to grow a variety of grapes not typically grown in the area at the time including Sangiovese, Syrah, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot.
During Phase 2, soil was tested and amended and a cover crop was established.
Phase 3 began in 2000 with the planting of 12,000 vines. By the end of the growing season that year, the vines were well established with the vineyard's first harvest in October 2002. The next 15 years saw an additional 16 acres of plantings, improvements including a drip irrigation system, and the introduction of a new compost product (produced by Walker's sister company, Walker Environmental) to enhance the growing process.
Over the years, grapes from Edgerock Vineyard have been used by many local wineries, some of whom are neighbours to the quarry. Vineland, Ont.-based Megalomaniac Wines, for example, formed a partnership with Walker Aggregates in 2018 and purchased the vineyard's entire harvest that year. This enabled Megalomaniac to secure local grapes for its wines while allowing
Walker to contribute to the local community and economy in a new and innovative way. The once experimental vineyard has become an agricultural success and a benchmark for rehabilitation practices in the industry.
Walker Aggregates has implemented other rehabilitation projects that, like the Niagara vineyard project, make sense for the communities they are located in. Take for example the company's efforts to provide pollinator habitats by dedicating a section of land at its Duntroon Quarry for local beekeepers to store their bees over the winter.
Other examples include planting native grasses, flowers and fauna to encourage pollinator repopulation, and establishing newly forested areas with native species and tree composition near the Bruce Trail in Simcoe to delight hikers and outdoor enthusiasts for years to come. Wherever the location, Walker makes quarry rehabilitation work for its communities.
Walker Aggregates is one of seven companies operated by Walker Industries, which has over 900 employees across Canada and the United States. This family-owned Canadian company has operated from its base in the Niagara region for over 130 years. All of the company's divisions are bound by the values that drive their belief in supporting the environment and communities they operate in.

Ending the U.S. Government's War on Medical Marijuana Research
Angus McBride 2015-11-03
Angus McBride · November 3, 2015
Of all the controlled substances that the federal government regulates, cannabis is treated in unique ways that impede research.
Specifically, the U.S. government has held back the medical community's ability to conduct the type of research that the scientific community considers the experimental gold standard in guiding medical practice. Thus, the use of cannabis for medical treatment is happening in states based largely on anecdotal or limited science. In many cases, patients and doctors operate according to a learn-as-you-go approach—a situation that is inexcusably the fault of federal policies failing to keep pace with changing societal views and state-level legal landscapes.
In "Ending the U.S. government's war on medical marijuana research," authors John Hudak and Grace Wallack argue that it is time for the federal government to recognize the serious public policy risks born from limited medical, public health, and pharmaceutical research into cannabis and its use. As medical marijuana becomes increasingly accessible in state-regulated, legal markets, and as others self-medicate in jurisdictions that do not allow the medical use of cannabis, it is increasingly important that the scientific community conduct research on this substance. However, statutory, regulatory, bureaucratic, and cultural barriers have paralyzed science and threatened the integrity of research freedom in this area.
Hudak and Wallack explore the specific federal government policies that limit medical marijuana research and detail the consequences of those policies for the medical community and for public policy. They also examine some of the existing proposals that seek to ameliorate these challenges, concluding that some are meaningful and would make substantive changes that advance medical research, while others are narrow-sighted, misunderstood, and fail to provide the type of large-scale change necessary to achieve reformers' desired goals. Analyzing the efficacy of one often-proposed solution, the rescheduling of marijuana from a Schedule I narcotic, Hudak and Wallack argue that this specific policy proposal is limited in its ability to advance constructive medical research.
Ultimately, the authors recommend a more comprehensive set of policy reforms that will liberate the medical community in its pursuit of research into marijuana.

Strange things can happen when someone is over-eager or even desperate to find work, or to come up with a way to make some money. In today's world, many people go searching for solutions online.
It's when you're looking for work opportunities on the Internet that you might accidently walk right into a trap—a fraudulent scheme or job that can cost you money, pride and much more.
You could, for instance, find yourself becoming a money mule—that's a name and a role that you don't want be saddled with.
A beast of a burden.
There are certainly many money mules who know they're involved with illegal activity. Just like drug mules who knowingly stash cocaine and such in suitcases or strange objects and try to sneak them through airports, there are plenty of money mules willing to help crooks move cash around for payments in goods or cash.
However, it's common for someone to become a money mule quite by accident.
And that's why you must be careful and protect your friends and loved ones, too.
What kind of work do mules do?
After money or merchandise has been stolen, the mastermind behind the scenes uses a mule to transfer the money or goods, hiding the real criminal's identity, location and involvement from the victim of the crime and the authorities.
The real crook will oftentimes have the mule use Western Union or a Money Gram to make a traceable transaction or a reversible traceable into an "irreversible and untraceable" one.
Typically, the mule is told he'll be paid for services with a small part of the money transferred. That is, unless the mule is himself duped into doing it for free, not realizing what's going on until it's too late.
The Department of Homeland Security reports that too often today, money mules are recruited on-line for what they think is legitimate employment—but little do they know that they're getting involved transferring money that is a byproduct of crime, and therefore getting involved in the criminal activity themselves.
"WANTED. Dumbass for mule work."
One day, someone you know might be excited about finally getting a new job they found online, a job with an interesting title such as mystery shopper, payment processing agent, or money transfer agent.
But it's not a real job at all. It's typically a "work-from-home" recruiting scheme run by criminals to herd a pack of money mules. Work-from-home mule schemes are cleverly created to look like a job for a legitimate company. The herders will steal trademarks, logos and company names to took legitimate.
As part of their "onboarding" for the job, the new-hire (the money mule) provides their bank account details. They don't know it at the time, but solely it's for receiving a deposit or maybe even a counterfeit check.
A money mule could also wind up being a victim of identity theft, because the criminals have information from their "job" application: home address, phone number, and perhaps, even a Social Security number.
The position involves transferring money or goods.
The specific job duties are not described.
The company is in another country.
The position does not list education or experience requirements.
All interactions and transactions will be done online.
The offer promises significant earning potential for little effort.
The writing is awkward and includes poor sentence structure.
The email address associated with the offer uses a Web-based service (Gmail, Yahoo, Windows Live, Hotmail, etc.) instead of an organization-based domain.
You can get more advice on avoiding online criminal schemes from the US-CERT website.

Seattle Preschool in a Nursing Home 'Transforms' Elderly Residents
'Present Perfect' explores a preschool housed in a nursing home.
GENEVIEVE SHAW BROWN
Amazing Things Happen at This Preschool Inside a Nursing Home Intergenerational learning brings kids and elderly together in a Seattle preschool.Evan Briggs
— -- What would happen if you paired the very young with the very old?
It's being done at a preschool in Seattle, where child care takes place throughout a campus which is also home to more than 400 older adults.
Called the Intergenerational Learning Center, the preschool is located within Providence Mount St. Vincent, a senior care center in West Seattle. Five days a week, the children and residents come together in a variety of planned activities such as music, dancing, art, lunch, storytelling or just visiting.
And now this incredible place is about to have its own film. Called "Present Perfect," it was shot over the course of the 2012-2013 school year by filmmaker Evan Briggs, who is also an adjunct professor at Seattle University. Funded completely out of her own pocket and shot by her alone, Briggs has now launched a Kickstarter to fund the editing of the movie. She has more than $45,000 of her $50,000 goal with 15 days to go.
Residents of "the Mount," Briggs said, did a "complete transformation in the presence of the children. Moments before the kids came in, sometimes the people seemed half alive, sometimes asleep. It was a depressing scene. As soon as the kids walked in for art or music or making sandwiches for the homeless or whatever the project that day was, the residents came alive."

The kids, she said, took everything in stride. She talked of a moment at the beginning of the film trailer when a young boy, Max, is meeting an elderly man named John. John has to repeatedly ask Max his name, calling him Mack, Matt and Match. "That scene actually went on far longer that what you see in the trailer. But Max was just so patient, he just kept repeating his name over and over."
Interestingly, the parents of the students don't send their kids to the Intergenerational Learning Center primarily for the experience with the seniors. "It's got a great reputation and great teachers," said Briggs. But parents of kids who were in the class that she embedded herself in for the school year now tell her they see the benefit of the model. "One father told me that he especially sees it now that his own parents are aging."
She named the film "Present Perfect" she said, as a reference to the fact that these two groups of people — the preschoolers, who have almost no past and so much future and the elderly who such rich past but very little future — really only have a few years of overlap in their lives.
"It's also about being in the present moment," Briggs said, "something so many adults struggle with."
Briggs said the moments between the kids and the residents "sweet, some awkward, some funny — all of them poignant and heartbreakingly real."
Briggs hopes her film will open a conversation about aging in America. She writes on her Kickstarter, "Shooting this film and embedding myself in the nursing home environment also allowed me to see with new eyes just how generationally segregated we've become as a society. And getting to know so many of the amazing residents of the Mount really highlighted the tremendous loss this is for us all."
She called the preschool a "genius" idea that is "well within our reach" on a larger scale and hopes the idea expands to other schools around the country. "It's a great example of how we integrate the elderly into society."

This is not the type of book I would typically choose of my own accord, but I was sent an ARC, and the festive cover vibe and swirly calligraphy intrigued me, it is December after all. The first few chapters of this book absolutely delighted me. Gretchen Anthony is a master at creating a unique and delightfully humorous narrative voice. The style of her prose was refreshingly unlike anything I've read before. The main character of this story is the matriarch of the family, Violet Baumgartner. (Is it just me, or is this name weirdly similar to Violet Baudelaire from A Series of Unfortunate Events, and Violet Beauregarde from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory?? What's up with these very unique, yet clearly not that unique Violets?).
Scattered throughout the book, are excerpts from Violet's annual 'Evergreen Tidings,' holiday letters in which she writes extensively about her family, bragging shamelessly about how incredible and flawless each and every member is. Violet's narrative makes it clear that she is utterly oblivious to the way that she puts her family up on a pedestal, and it made me kind of hate her, but I also got a lot of amusement out of each of her chapters.
The book alternates narrators, switching between various members of the Baumgartner family and close friends, but no voice is quite as strong as Violet's. As much as I enjoyed the humor in this writing and the countless laugh-out-loud anecdotes (I would include some specifics, but I haven't checked my advanced reader's copy against the final published version, so I'll refrain), that was the entire highlight of the book for me. When I closed the book, I honestly had no idea what had happened throughout the nearly 400 pages.
The main issue the Baumgartners are dealing with is Violet's daughter, Cerise, and her partner, Barb, being pregnant. Violet is obsessed with figuring out who the father is, but the conversation surrounding this 'problem' seemed to me to happen over and over again, and I guessed who the father was a few hundred pages before the family figured it out. The back and forth between Cerise and her mother and then Cerise and Barb got repetitive quickly. There was also a random group of protesters setting up art installations throughout the narrative, some missing eyeglasses from Cerise's best friend Kyle's nonprofit, and Barb's inappropriate and intoxicated parents popped in for a hot minute somewhere along the way.
The novel ended with a big reveal about the aforementioned protestors, and the missing glasses. It turns out, both things were orchestrated by Kyle's ex-fiancé whom I did not care about in the least. Overall, this book did not leave me feeling festive and amused like I hoped, I was more so frustrated and disappointed that the strength of the writing did not translate into a more captivating narrative. It felt to me as if I read about the same disastrous dinner party/social event/baptism about seven different times.
Nonetheless, this browned butter pumpkin cake with salted caramel frosting, recipe brought to you by Cooking Classy, helped to lift my spirits (although I would suggest making more frosting than the recipe calls for if you're a frosting fiend like I am… and full disclosure, I did not make my own caramel for this recipe, but rather "cheated" slightly by buying salted caramel sauce in a jar to save myself some stress). I do hope to read something else of Gretchen Anthony's in the future, she is truly a gifted writer, however this story, unlike this cake, was just not for me.

White Night is an all night free cultural festival that marks the end of British Summer Time by encouraging artists, venues and audiences to do something different in the middle of the night.
This year the theme is Illumination, and the special events created for the BPB2010 and Photofringe celebrate photography as a medium of light and democratic art form: encouraging the audience to play within the themes of the exhibitions in different and unexpected ways.
An aural exploration of darkness through 'ear-films' in the theatre and a sonic garden in the quad. Music from South America will accompany the exhibition.
A city-wide photography competition with a chance for your images inspired by the theme illumination or of your White Night to be projected onto an outdoor screen. Prizes to be won at midnight.
For one night only, a 1960's New Yorkesque portal between worlds will open up, leading from the light into darkness. Boundaries will crumble as two venues, Lighthouse and The Basement, merge together to take you on a journey into your own twisted sexuality, gender confusion and transgressive yearnings. The Basement will play host to an unruly selection of rogues, deviants and ne'er-do-wells curated by the frankly marvellous Markus Makavellian, a Hot From Edinburgh Fringe artist. Artists will create their own filthy little corner and you are invited to join them.
Lighthouse's exhibition Queer Brighton – a glimpse of the city's Queer community shot by photographers Molly Landreth and Zoe Strauss – provides the inspiration for queer films, music and performance that will merge and spill between the two venues.
A celebration of home-grown photography and late-night access to the exhibition 'The House of Vernacular' by Martin Parr. The programme includes flash mob photo competitions, a tour of the city's Everyday Icons and Jonathan Swain's Night Workers' Parade.
Brighton Museum will be celebrating all the inspirational creative work by young people during projects at the Royal Pavilion & Museums. 'Bright Ideas', has been programmed and organised by young people from the Events Collective who have been working over the last few months to come up with innovative ways to interpret the museum collections especially for White Night.
The evening will include a make your own macabre Shadow Puppet show, projections and performance. There will be a premier of the animations made by young people in response to the Clare Twomey installation of 3,000 black ceramic butterflies currently showing in the Royal Pavilion.
There will also be a display of the work completed as part of the Cultural Olympiad project 'Local Global' including photography by the Refugee and Asylum Seekers Project (R.A.S.P) and work in progress by Whitehawk Youth Centre.


I am delighted to be part of Dr Chloe Wong's team at the SGDP centre. I completed my PhD at UCL in the Department of Molecular Psychiatry under the supervision of Professor Hugh Gurling. During this time I worked on the molecular genetics of bipolar disorder and resequenced two glutamate receptor genes, GRM3 and GRM7. I then went on to functionally characterise a Kozak sequence mutation in GRM3.
Following my PhD, I worked as a Postdoctoral training fellow at the Institute of Cancer Research in Sutton where I worked with Professor Richard Houlston on characterising susceptibility genes for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. I also had the opportunity to learn chromosome conformation capture techniques such as Hi-C, 4C and 3C and study the long-range interactions between loci regulating the transcriptome.
At the SGDP, I will be working on the E-Risk study, assessing the impact of psychosocial stress during adolescence on the DNA methylome of MZ twins. I am really excited about this opportunity and happy to be working with a wonderful team.

"Thanks for your awesome training seminars. I got two job offers in the same week. Paul's 10 step [free] program works."
A Better Way to Track & Plan!
Do you use a spreadsheet to track your search?
Trello is a Project Management tool we customized into a Job Tracking Pipeline to manage your search.
Trello uses "cards" instead of rows, and you can attach custom resumes to each job card, along with the job description, articles about the company, and links to employee profiles. Each card even has its own email address allowing you to forward company correspondence to the card! You can't do that in a spreadsheet. Plus, Trello has a free mobile app.
Use it to PLAN your search too! Assign next action dates to your cards and filter them to only show you next actions for today! Sending resumes without knowing where they are going or when to follow up is pointless, yet it's the norm. You can plan to stand out.
Custom Job Tracking Pipelines are included in ALL membership levels. See it in action in this video.

"Paul's advice reduced the amount of time it took for me to land a job. It was a comfort to know that I had a Job Coach who was available whenever questions came up and to help me evaluate advice from others. He was always willing and available to help. Paul was especially helpful when it came to organizing my search, understanding how to use LinkedIn to increase my network, improving my interviewing skills and helping me understand how to prepare before an interview."
"Paul was my personal job search coach. His expertise, skill, knowledge, and unwavering positive attitude about job search techniques and strategies are second to none. Speedupmyjobsearch.com contains invaluable resources that address every category in a job search. The process of finding a job is a full-time job. Paul's system and organizational tools in Speedupmyjobsearch.com provided me with the structure to be successful with the job search process. Paul was with me every step of the way. I ALWAYS had his support and encouragement. I am immeasurably grateful to Paul and all of his efforts on my behalf. He was my "LIGHTHOUSE" as my job search coach, guiding me to landing. He genuinely cares about people and his mission to point them in the right direction of taking their job search to the next level."
In the 1 full year prior to hiring Paul as her coach, Laura had 0 interviews and was very stressed out. In the 90 days while Paul was her coach at the premium level, she interviewed with 16 different companies, received 3 job offers, and is now working in what she calls her "dream job". She is featured in the video below.
"After being unemployed for 10 months I got my first job offer yesterday, just 2 weeks after discovering your website and improving my resume!"
"We live in an uncertain world and there are relatively few who have a firm grasp of what it takes to survive and prosper in this new world of work, Paul Cameron is one of them. In twenty five years I have published fourteen books, and Paul is one of less than sixty people I have quoted in my entire body of work."
"I actually found my SpeedUpMyJobSearch.com Planner from the last job search and realized that until I committed to that tool and the process, my results didn't take off. The results of committing to your program were three job offers in four weeks all culminating on the same day."
"I'm only a few days in but I feel I already have received the full value for the expenditure! Paul has been most helpful, timely and communicative. I learned more from Paul already than I did in the entire 11 week program from [outplacement firm]"

Redondesco (Redundèsch in dialetto alto mantovano) è un comune italiano di  abitanti della provincia di Mantova in Lombardia.

Il paese è situato alla sinistra dell'Oglio inferiore, ad ovest di Mantova, da cui dista circa 25 chilometri.
Il suo territorio è costituito da una pianura di 19,13 chilometri quadrati, confinante ad est con i comuni di Piubega e Gazoldo degli Ippoliti, a sud col comune di Marcaria, ad ovest con quello di Acquanegra sul Chiese e a nord con quello di Mariana Mantovana. Le sue terre sono particolarmente fertili, perché bagnate ed irrigate in parte dal torrente Tartaro Fabrezza, ed in parte dal vaso Fuga – i due Tartari dell'Ovest mantovano.

Geografia fisica

Origini del nome
Lasciando perdere le proposte riconducenti a pure leggende, un documento del 22 febbraio 884 chiamerebbe Redondesco Aprehensa Gardondesca: per qualcuno Aprehensa starebbe ad indicare un territorio di forma rotonda circondato da acqua
In proposito, nota il Guerrini che il prefisso "re" deriva sempre da rivus – fiume -, e che "edon" equivale a "rotondo": perciò il nome Redondesco starebbe ad indicare l'ubicazione del paese bagnato all'intorno da fiumi.

Storia

Origini
Non è possibile rintracciare dati certi sull'origine di Redondesco.

Un diploma imperiale del 982 prova senza dubbi l'esistenza in quell'epoca del villaggio designato col nome di Radoldeschio, e in un altro documento del 1055 esso è denominato Radaldisco.
Nei documenti successivi figura spesse volte il nome Rotundiscus, interpretato successivamente come "desco rotondo", con riferimento alla forma rotonda del paese o del castello; da questa interpretazione deriva pure lo stemma della comunità – sebbene il Beffa-Negrini faccia derivare al contrario il nome dallo stemma -, che è uno scanno rotondo color legno su sfondo verde e azzurro.

La battaglia dei Campi Raudii

Recenti studi (2014) hanno portato nuove ipotesi circa il luogo in cui si svolse la battaglia dei Campi Raudii. Basandosi sulla toponomastica, sarebbe stata individuata una località compresa tra Redondesco (Raudaldisco in epoca longobarda) e Rodigo (Raudingo in epoca longobarda), in provincia di Mantova, nomi che entrambi rimandano ai campi "raudi", luoghi in prossimità della via Postumia che i Cimbri avrebbero incontrato scendendo dal Brennero. Anche la località di Cimbriolo, nel comune di Castellucchio (Castrum Lugius), rimanderebbe all'omonima popolazione. Torna dunque di attualità un'ipotesi sostenuta dagli storici Ganelli e Agnelli nel Seicento circa il luogo del mantovano ove avvenne lo scontro.

L'Alto Medioevo

Il monastero o la cella monastica di San Salvatore sarebbe stato per Ragazzi il primo centro religioso nel territorio di Redondesco, che avrebbe poi dato origine alla parrocchia prepositurale del borgo.
Esso, ridotto ai resti di una cascina con chiesetta, è situato attualmente nel territorio del comune di Acquanegra sul Chiese, ma molto più vicino a Redondesco, ad est della Via Postumia, abbastanza prossimo a Mosio.

Dal diploma di Ottone II del 982 si sa che parte di Redondesco apparteneva ai canonici di Santa Maria di Cremona. Tale proprietà venne loro confermata da un successivo diploma di Enrico II del 5 maggio 1005, e da un altro di poco più tardo di Enrico III, del 15 ottobre 1005.

Ma salvi questi diritti dei canonici cremonesi, il borgo col territorio era nell'XI secolo soggetto religiosamente al vescovo di Mantova, come risulta chiaramente da un altro diploma dello stesso Enrico III, di soli cinque giorni posteriore a quello sopra ricordato, con il quale l'imperatore confermava beni e diritti del vescovo mantovano, tra i quali plebem de Radaldisto, cioè la pieve di Redondesco.

Una bolla papale di conferma dei possedimenti del vescovo di Verona del 1145 menziona una chiesa di  a Redondesco, vicino alla riva del Tartaro: anche la chiesa veronese vantava dunque diritti in quel di Redondesco.

I conti di Redondesco

I conti di Redondesco, i conti di Casaloldo, i San Martino Gusnago, i conti di Montichiari, Asola, Mosio, i conti di Marcaria, tutte famiglie che si affermano alla metà del XII secolo, e che per distinguersi prendono il nome ciascuna dal feudo sede della loro residenza o dei loro principali interessi, pur rimanendo in possesso comune e porzionario del comitatus, sono discesi dalle stirpi dei cosiddetti Ugoni-Longhi, conti di Sabbioneta.

Il Basso Medioevo
Nel Liber Potheris, laddove si ricorda che nel XII secolo parte del territorio di Redondesco, già detenuto dai conti di Lomello, passò al comune di Brescia, in comproprietà con i conti Ugonidi, si fa un'ampia descrizione di questi beni bresciani siti in Redondesco.

Oltre al castello, vi sono nominati la Ecclesia S. Zenonis, la contrada S. Zenonis, il Locus S. Zeneschi –  – e il Nemus ad S. Firmum, cioè il bosco di San Fermo.

Non trovando, in detta descrizione, nessun accenno ad una chiesa di Redondesco, Ragazzi suppone che il centro religioso principale di questo territorio fosse allora San Zenone, oppure la casa monastica di S. Salvatore, vicina a Mosio.

Solo nel 1410 si trova esplicita indicazione della chiesa di Redondesco, che, portando il titolo S. Mauritii seu S. Laurentii, dovrebbe coincidere con l'attuale.

La chiesa di S. Zenone, successivamente al Liber Potheris, è invece nominata negli atti della visita pastorale del vescovo di Brescia Bollani, del maggio 1566, ove il prevosto di Redondesco dichiara di avere sotto la sua giurisdizione la "chiesa di San Zenone senza dote, che non è retta da alcuno, ed è sempre tenuta chiusa".

Secondo Ragazzi, oggi, caduto in rovina questo edificio sacro, si conosce appena dove esso fosse costruito, per i resti di fondamenta che esisterebbero ancora, nei pressi della strada che in catasto si chiama ancora oggi S. Zenone.

Enumerando i beni comunali bresciani a Redondesco fra i secoli XII e XIII, il Liber Potheris, come accennato, parla di una contrada e di una chiesa S. Zeneschi.

Per quanto ne sappiamo, non risulta alcuna notizia storica che indichi in quale parte del territorio redondescano fosse posta. Ragazzi avanza la proposta di riconoscerla in quello che è comunemente chiamato el cesolin de S. Fermo. Stando al medesimo autore, è certo che in quel luogo esisteva una chiesa, che poi fu trasformata in casa d'abitazione. Lo proverebbe anche una lapide infissa nel pavimento d'ingresso di detta casa.

Il nome di S. Genesio indurrebbe a pensare al castello di Canneto sull'Oglio, riedificato da Brescia nel 1217, ma pare improbabile che una chiesa ricordata come appartenente a Redondesco fosse situata in quel di Canneto.

Sempre nel Liber Potheris fra i beni della comunità di Redondesco rivendicati da Brescia è nominato anche il Nemus ad S. Firmum. Tale località è l'attuale frazione di San Fermo, solo in parte ancora dipendente da Redondesco: le porzioni restanti sono annesse alla giurisdizione di altri due comuni, Piubega e Gazoldo degli Ippoliti.

Veniva chiamata Nemus perché attorno aveva un vastissimo bosco, forse lo stesso gagium altum -"Bosco cintato alto"- che ha dato il nome all'attuale Gazoldo.
All'epoca della visita pastorale di monsignor Bollani S. Fermo era sede di una rettoria dipendente dalla giurisdizione del prevosto di Redondesco, mentre ora è costituita in parrocchia indipendente.

Every once in awhile we get an unusual woodwork request, but we always like a challenge. Here's the progress on a wooden wedding cake/dessert stand for an upcoming wedding at the Upper East Side restaurant Daniel. The last picture shows how the final piece will be used.


I'm under considerable time constraints today, so I'll leave all the commenting to the forum membership as regards this week's BS, TMS, and SM.
As always, we look forward to upbuilding comments to help us deepen our understanding of Scripture.
One member sent in the following images showing the differences between the old and new Draw Close book. The changes seem to be so trivial that one wonders what all the fuss is about.
Importa quee religion debes seguir?, Jesus cuando vikno a la tierra, vino a unir o a separar?.
El Hombre le dara solucion a los problemas que tenemos?.
Quien gobierna veredaderamente este mundo?
Gracias, Kristie. Es nuestra intención en el nuevo año poner un sitio web en español equivalente a Beroean Pickets para compartir con nuestros hermanos de habla hispana, las verdades biblicás que hemos descubierto juntos aquí.
Bienvenido y gracias por tu bendiciones! Que'l Padre te bendiga tambien.
Es claro que ningun hombre puede darnos soluciones a nuestras problemas, solamente Cristo. Por eso, es EL que seguimos!
I agree with your comments SW1 and D . However I personally don't believe that any of the comments on have been negative. This whole site is full of scriptural opinions. So are the publications from the WTBS. Unlike the WTBS however, I don't think anyone is demanding that anyone put faith in them. I agree balance and modesty should prevail at the end of the day. Changing the word is neither positive or negative IMO. It's just a change.
Oh I think you hit the nail on the head, D. We should look more closely at "definitive" because this reflects the attitude our religion has been built upon. If Rutherford was right about anything, "Religion IS a snare." And because we allowed ourselves to be ensnared, we now have opinions so definitive that we built an entire religion upon exposing flaws in others that we cannot see in ourselves. So really then what defines our attitude better than our attempt to extract the straw from all other religious eyes before seeing the rafter in our own?
So the meaning of the name is almost synonymous with the title Creator. But it goes beyond Creator because it involves not only the creation of things but also the creation of events (fulfilling his will).
You've just given me the basis for an excellent comment. Thanks.
yes, I printed out the changes, and I thought, what is this! I really think its to make the b/s feel that the GB is living up to its name as a FDS, providing any food at any time, after all its the 100 anniversary of 1914, little gifts, every one is a buzz with this year, and this just adds a few more candles to the cake.
I have had a few b/s say its the 100th yr since the Kindom was born. I cant laugh, I actually feel sick about it. Love all our brothers.
The comment I would make is regarding our part in the service meeting regarding our magazines for January. I see in the km we continue with the self promotion of our website. It seems that we are not asking people to read the bible for help or comfort, but instead to read publications written by men. True they are based on the bible, but if the bible is truly important why don't we just use that to help ones with problems?
The ever growing push to praise men is troubling.
Well just looking at the side by side comparisons of the two versions of the book the differences are not quite so slight. It looks as though they are trying to revise the wording that concretely states that Jehovah's name means "he causes to become". It's more of " we believe it means this"… "instead of it means this." Why that was such a huge deal for THEM to change the wording is beyond me. Either people agree with their translation or they do not.
I wonder if they are getting backlash because of the "silver spear".
I barely could tell the difference with the wording. However in our congregation many talked about how the GB can now update things in a short time by using ePub.
Could this be an exercise in this regard? Only time will tell as we go forward.

An 'Olympiad', own calendar: Controversies of Shincheonji church and founder Lee Man-hee accused of triggering South Korea coronavirus outbreak
Shincheonji church founder Lee Man-hee, wearing a surgical mask and speaking in a choking voice, said he was remorseful that so many patients were tied to his church. PHOTO: REUTERS
https://str.sg/JNRr
SEOUL (NYTIMES) - To his followers, he is a descendant of the ancient kings who ruled Korea centuries ago, "the angel" Jesus sent for mankind, and the one and only "counselor" who can interpret the symbols and secret codes hidden in the Bible's Book of Revelation.
To officials and politicians, he is a villain, the leader of a religious cult who is thwarting the government's efforts to contain the exploding coronavirus outbreak in South Korea.
Mr Lee Man-hee, the 88-year-old enigmatic founder of the Shincheonji church, is now trying to defend his group while challenging the accusations against it.
South Korea has more than 4,800 cases of the coronavirus, with at least 60 per cent connected to Shincheonji's branch in Daegu, a city in the southeast. As the government scrambles to contain the epidemic, Mr Lee and the church have been blamed for contributing to the spread by failing to provide a full list of its members to the government
In the past week, hundreds of church members have remained incommunicado, baffling health officials trying to track them down for testing. Major cities, including the capital city of Seoul, have asked national prosecutors to investigate Mr Lee for potential criminal charges, including "murder through willful negligence".
On Monday, Mr Lee, wearing a surgical mask and speaking in a choking voice, said he was remorseful that so many patients were tied to his church. But he denied the claims that its actions contributed to the epidemic, saying that the church has been cooperating with the government as best as possible.
"I offer my word of deep apology to the people," Mr Lee said on Monday during a nationally televised news conference, during which he knelt and bowed.
His tone marked a shift from the message he sent to his church members last week, in which he blamed the epidemic on "the evil who got jealous of Shincheonji's rapid growth".
"When night passes, dawn will arrive," he said then.
Mr Lee has long courted controversy. He has been dogged by lawsuits, protest rallies and allegations of preaching heresy and splitting apart families, as well as going after rival churches. He has survived them all, commanding a messianic charisma over the 245,000 followers who he says the church has in South Korea and abroad.
Until now, Mr Lee's Shincheonji has been one of the fastest-growing religious sects in South Korea. He has used an aggressive proselytising programme that has unnerved mainstream Christian denominations that liken the church to a cult. He has often staged large-scale outdoor events that remind critics of massive propaganda rallies in North Korea.

Like North Korea, the church has its own calendar, counting the years from the day Mr Lee founded it in 1984. It hosts its own "Olympiad", filling a stadium with worshippers from around the world. It features military-style honour guards, taekwondo exhibitions and other group performances similar to North Korea's Mass Games. Often dressed in snow white and carrying his trademark hand-held folding fan, Mr Lee likes to snap a military salute to his adoring crowds.
"Shincheonji has been growing rapidly despite the persecutions" from the mainstream Christian churches, Mr Lee said in an interview with newspaper Kyeonggi Ilbo in June.
"Why? Because we have a doctrine. We are not a traditional church."
Mr Lee was born on Sept 15, 1931, in a poor farming family in Cheongdo, a county near Daegu. He says he began praying with his grandfather at a young age, although he didn't go to a church. He fought in the Korean War in the 1950s as an army sergeant.
He worked for another religious group deemed a cult by mainstream churches before starting his own Shincheonji Church of Jesus, Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony in 1984. Shincheonji means "new heaven and new Earth" in Korean. In his sermons, he promises "an end to the crime- and corruption-ridden world and a new era".
"Shincheonji only uses Jesus as a front, and what its members worship is Lee Man-hee," said Mr Hwang Eui-jong, a Christian pastor who has been fighting against groups like Shincheonji.
Since the outbreak, members of Shincheonji have become the target of disease-control officials racing against time to tame the virus' spread.
Police detectives and anti-disease officials have been tracking them through their smartphone locations or credit-card data. They have visited their homes, knocking on their doors or watching from outside to see if there are signs of life inside. One provincial government sent an urgent message to citizens through smartphone messages asking them to report Shincheonji members.

Shincheonji in Singapore: 2 ex-members share stories of secret classes, lies and deception
If Shincheonji officials took such a message as a form of "witch hunting", it was also a testimony to the difficulty disease-control officials have faced. An official at a government health clinic in Daegu that handled coronavirus screening did not reveal that he was a church member until he himself tested positive.
"Many church members were afraid to come out and reveal their church membership, given the overwhelming blaming coming from politicians and news media that called Shincheonji the originator of the virus outbreak," said Mr Kim Si-mon, the church's spokesman.
He said that church members have been exposed to widespread discrimination, taunting and even violence since the outbreak. Mr Kim said much of the bad publicity was fuelled by the prejudices mainstream churches have created against Shincheonji.
"Please stop blaming and hating us," he said. "In a country like South Korea that has freedom of religion, do we have to die because we don't belong to the established church? Shincheonji did not make the coronavirus."
It's not the first time that a religious sect shunned by mainstream churches was connected to a national crisis in South Korea. After an overloaded ferry sank in 2014, killing more than 300 people, South Koreans were shocked to learn that the ferry company was controlled by a religious leader often condemned as heretical like Mr Lee.
On Monday, Mr Lee looked repentant throughout his news conference. But a flash of his usual charisma appeared at the end when journalists tried to ask questions at the same time while his critics hurled him insults from the sidelines.
"Be quiet! Order!" he shouted before his underlings hurried to usher him out. "We are all grown-ups!"


3 days salmon and sea run char fishing for 1 rod River Breiðdalsa in eastern Iceland.
Three days' fishing for salmon and sea-run char for 1 rod on the River Breiðdalsa in eastern Iceland including lodge and food. The Breiðdalsa is a medium-sized river with a variety of water to keep the fishing interesting and it is known for large multi-sea-winter fish. The lodge provides very high-quality en suite accommodation. Additional rods may be purchased or rods shared. Non-fishing partners are very welcome to enjoy the stunning scenery of east Iceland. Excludes flights to Egilsstaðir, hire car and guide. 2019 season, date by arrangement and dependent upon availability.
3 nights' self-catering accommodation in Slovenia, Sava catchment area, 13-16 September 2019.
Three nights' self-catering accommodation in the village of Koprivnik in the Triglav National Park in Slovenia, 13-16 September 2019. The cottage sleeps six in three bedrooms and has recently been renovated to provide modern and comfortable accommodation less than an hour from Ljubljana airport. Although not a fishing lodge (it is on a plateau at 1000m) the cottage is a good base for fishing for trout in the Sava and Soča catchments or hiking direct from the door into the mountains. The Sava Bohinjka is 15 minutes' drive. The River Radovna is easily accessible, along with other rivers in the Sava catchment (Krka, Unica, Sora and Kokra). The River Soča (famous for marble trout) is accessible by a short train ride through the mountains.
One day for 1 rod fishing rivers in the Trysil area of Norway for trout and grayling with professional guide and tenkara guru, Chris Hendriks. Chris will guide using conventional fly rods or tenkara and all equipment other than waders may be borrowed. The Trysil area has a wide range of fishing opportunities from large rivers to small mountain streams. Trout and grayling of up to 2lb can be expected – tenkara is not just for small fish! All wild fish in a stunning natural environment just 3 hours north of Oslo. Excellent local accommodation can be arranged at Trysil Hyttegrend at additional cost. 2019 season.
One day for 2 rods on the Fario Club's beat of the Rouloir river in Normandy.
One day for 2 rods on the Fario Club's beat of the Rouloir river in Normandy. Half a mile of double-bank fishing at La Croisille Mill near Conches-en-Ouche and Évreux. Picnic lunch and guide included. Wild brown trout only, dry fly or upstream nymph fishing preferred. The karst geology, forested catchment and low levels of pesticide and fertiliser pollution result in very good fly life with fish rising all day. B&B available on-site at additional cost. Other fishing available nearby on the River Iton or within a 50km radius for those wishing to stay longer (at own cost). To be taken between 1 May and 10 September 2019.
1 day for 2 rods fishing the River Lesse, a medium-sized freestone river, Ardennes region, Belgium.
One day for 2 rods fishing a 4.5km-stretch of the Lesse, a medium-sized freestone river located at the edge of the Ardennes region of Belgium, guided by two dedicated conservationist anglers. Stocking with hatchery trout ceased at the start of the 2018 season so fishing is catch & release for wild trout and grayling. Good fly hatches usually guarantee dry fly sport but traditional wet spider or nymph fishing are also productive. A visit to the local spawning stream restoration project can be arranged if interested. Date by arrangement in 2019, best May/June or late September. B&B available on-site at additional cost.
1 day for 1 rod fishing a mountain stream in the Alpes Maritime with Tony Mair, southern France.
One day for 1 rod fishing in the Alpes-Maritime in France with Tony Mair, author of the blog, A Fisherman's Journey. You will be fishing in the 'skies', at an altitude of 1700m on the River Gordolasque, a picturesque Alpine stream and tributary of the Vesubie, just 1½ hours north of Nice in the Cote d'Azur and packed with small wild Mediterranean-strain brown trout. The car ride through the Gorge du Vesubie, toward Roquebiliere is a joy, as is the village of Belvedere (to collect a 'journalier' and some tasty victuals) and then the last few miles into a beautiful wilderness, blanketed with pretty wild flowers, roaming chamois close by… for some easy walking and hungry, lightning-fast fish, which will take dries all day long! To be enjoyed in June or July 2019.

Martin Luther King Jr. was shorter than Nancy Davis expected.
"When you hear his voice, it sounded so loud, and I just thought he'd be taller," said Davis, who is 72.
She saw King preach a Lenten sermon at the First United Methodist Church in March of 1960. She was 14 at the time.
It was King's only visit to Battle Creek, though he would pass nearby one more time, for a speech at Albion College, before his death.
Local historian Kurt Thornton was 5 when King came to First United Methodist. His parents didn't bring him to the church because they were nervous about trouble occurring, but his father, Junior Thornton, was an usher at the service and shared stories about that night.
"The words and the way that Dr. King spoke gave dad the impression that Dr. King must have stood over six feet tall," Kurt Thornton said.
The church's minister, Dr David Evans, managed to arrange the visit through a mutual friend, Dr Jesse Jai McNeil, a leader in the Wolverine Baptist Association, a group of black Baptist churches in Detroit.
King had an appearance scheduled in Detroit around the same time and ended up having the time to detour to Battle Creek.

"I bring you greetings from the Southland, a section of the country now in transition, as we struggle on for the dreams and ideals of democracy and our Christian faith," King began, reading an imagined letter from the apostle Paul to American Christians.
He would talk that evening about the Supreme Court decision to outlaw segregation and how "some of us have not accepted it and are fighting to thwart it."
At one point, he provided a sober reminder about the dangers of social protest.
"We must admit that, in standing against the forces of evil, we will be abused and scorned," King said. "It may mean going to jail, but we will go to jail with a smile. Some will face physical death before the struggle is won, but it is the price that some must pay."
Kim Tuck, 71, doesn't recall much about King's speech. He was a young teenager, part of the church's youth fellowship group.
"What I remember the most is that the church was absolutely packed," he said.
The church was indeed stuffed full, with roughly 1,100 attendees, according to contemporary accounts. The sound system ensured that everyone packed in the church could hear him, even if they couldn't see him.
Plainclothes officers from the Battle Creek Police Department were present as well, set up by Evans as extra security.
"People were really dressed up, like the women wore hats and gloves, and I was really impressed by that," Davis said. "A lady passed out, she was so overcome. I remember that. She was in the back of the church, and I was in the balcony, but you could see everything from the balcony.
"And after he spoke, something that really impressed me, he took time to shake hands with everyone and to talk to everyone who wanted to talk to him. He acted like he had all of the time in the world to speak to people, and I was impressed by that."
After the service, King stood in a lineup with Evans, Reverend Sidney Short and Reverend Paul Bigby of the Second Baptist Church to greet attendees and shake their hands.
"If I had any idea how much good he'd do, how important he'd become, well, I don't know if at that age I would have paid more attention, but I wish I had," Davis said.
Three years later, on March 13, 1963, King spoke to about 1,000 students and faculty at Albion College as part of a celebrity lecture series, according to Wesley Arden Dick, a history professor in Albion for the past 50 years.

Albion still had segregation in schools, restaurants, theaters and recreational facilities in those days, Arden Dick said. Campus leaders might well have invited King because the college was mostly white and the city was mostly black.
"How much of that was in the mind of inviting him, I can't say," Arden Dick said. "But I think there was a belief that our students at the college needed to be made aware of the best thinkers out there."
Jess Womack, who lived in the South until he was 11, struggled with his emotions when King visited the college.
Womack is black. Some of the same racism he had experienced in the South lurked just below the surface in Albion, he said. He recalls only one fraternity at the college with a non-white member.
"What Dr. King was doing was tackling what was the last vestiges of America's original sin, which was segregation in the South," said Womack, who was a 19-year-old college sophomore when he saw King speak. "What Dr. King was doing at that time was revolutionary and also noble."
Womack sat in the audience at Goodrich Chapel as King talked about voting rights and access to public facilities and other segregation issues in the North.
At the urging of a local newspaper photographer, Womack said, he shook hands, talked and took a photograph with King after the event.
"To have him there in Albion was to have this iconic figure in our presence," said Womack. "He was a bigger-than-life iconic figure. He was doing something that was the equivalent of Mahatma Gandhi's work in India. It was peaceful."
Womack told King that he was from Alabama and asked him about non-violence training. He said King told him that not everyone could take the abuse.
"We don't put anybody out there who can't endure what's going on," Womack remembers King telling him. "We don't put people who can't endure the kind of abuse that was heaped on them."
Womack, 74, still remembers someone in the audience asking King if it was possible to legislate morality.
"I don't think you can legislate morality, but you can legislate not lynching me," King responded, according to Womack, "and I think that's pretty important, too,"

"Sajad's absolute mesmerization with Narendra Modi is not only embarrassing for the people of Kashmir but has also made his workers embarrassed as they are finding it hard to justify how the angry poster-boy of Kashmiri nationalism has jumped into the lap of a person who ridicules and mocks the flag and constitution of Jammu and Kashmir. Today Sajad Lone has found his brother in the same person who is accused of overseeing a mass genocide of Muslims during one of modern India's worst communal riots. Sajad Lone has sold his conscience for an ashirwaad from Nagpur and if reports are to be believed, Sajad is in the process of merging his party with the BJP soon after the elections conclude," Kamal alleged.
