Okay, So I Think It's Safe To Say I Have A Sudden Infatuation With Rocking Chairs.
I'm Using Them In This Composition As A Metaphor For The Passage Of Time.
Hence The Title I've Given This Piece, "When Summer Has Ended".
I've Taken An Old Wooden Door Panel, Stripped And Sanded It - Then Layered In Texture And Gesso - Then Proceeded To Lay Down My Oil.
I Have About Six Of These Vintage Beauties That Actually Fell Out Of An Old Door I Reclaimed From A Countryside Barn. The Door Itself Was So Deteriorated That Upon Picking It Up, The Panels Actually Separated And Fell On The Ground.
When I Stopped To Gather Them Up - I Knew Instantly The Universe Had Just Given Me A Gift.
Yep..After The Addition Of Fallen Roses On The Lower Half, I'm Now Happier With The Balance Of The Composition.
Hope Everyone's Enjoying A Glorious Weekend And I Send You Best Wishes For The Upcoming Holiday This Monday!
That is so cool about the old door - how perfect! And I love, love the rocking chairs!!

Haunted Guide to the Old Jail
It was 1891...
When Henry Flagler built what would become known as the Old Jail
This facility would not only house inmates, but also the sheriff and his family. According to accounts, the original jail was not only an eyesore, it was within view from one of Flagler's luxurious St. Augustine hotels. Flagler, being the businessman that he was, knew that guests would not want to see a jail while vacationing in the beautiful city of St. Augustine and that such an event would diminish their experience at his hotel. He was compelled to relocate the jail by constructing a new building that would better resemble the many other magnificent structures in the area. And so, the Old Jail was built as it stands today.
Built in the Romanesque Revival style, St. Augustine's new jail looked like any other house during that time period, and aside from the fact that it had bars on the windows, no one would ever guess it was a jail.
During its lengthy service to the city, the Old Jail housed both male and female inmates and was the city's only jail for more than 60 years, remaining open and operating until 1953.
Fun Historical Attraction or Haunted Site
Today, the Old Jail is a fun and interesting local attraction where visitors to St. Augustine can learn about its fascinating history. But there's a dark side to this seemingly harmless building – and this is the side that lures in paranormal experts and ghost enthusiasts from all over the country. For it's what transpired within the walls of this lovely Victorian building that caused the Old Jail to earn its alternate reputation as one of the most haunted spots in the ancient city.
Dirt, Grim, Torture and Hauntings
The walls of the Old Jail were 20 feet tall and so thick that no sounds could transcend the cells and be heard by outside ears. The windows didn't have glass and the concrete and metal made for a very cold, sterile environment. And while the sheriff's quarters were comfortable and well appointed with all the necessities for he and his family, the male and female cells were far from that. In fact, by today's standards, they would be considered unlivable for humans. No blankets or pillows were provided and the mattresses, stuffed with Spanish Moss, were often infested with red bugs.
And shocking as it may seem, the Old Jail had no bathing facilities or sanitation for human waste, which meant the inmates were not able to bathe and there was a stench that could not be eliminated.
As one may imagine, there was much sickness and death in the Old Jail – even beyond the executions that took place during that time period. The maximum security cells, located in the back of the building, were equipped with stockades, a torture cage and a clear view of the execution area. The solitary confinement cell had no bed at all.
The inmates that were incarcerated in the Old Jail were the worst of the worst when it came to criminal activity. Both the men and women were convicted of nefarious crimes and many of them did not survive their sentences. And although they were horrific people, the treatment they received was less than humane in many instances; there were beatings, tortures and starvation. The experts believe that these events caused the spirits of the inmates and several others to linger within the Old Jail, offering explanation into the many mysterious and inexplicable events that occur today.
The Ghosts and Eerie Occurrences at the Old Jail
Men in Chains
One of the many complaints to those living close to the Old Jail is the frequent sounds of footsteps walking inside. Loud, clunky noises indicate that these footsteps belong to the disembodied souls of the criminals that once lived and died there. Guests touring the facility have also reported this phenomenon.
Unpleasant Aromas
At any given time, visitors and workers at the Old Jail sense the aroma of sewage in the air; although there is none to be found on site. Others report a sickeningly sweet smell, which many describe as that of molasses boiling on a stove. But despite the daily cleanings and air fresheners, these two aromas seem to linger, just like the ghosts.
Although dogs once lived at the Old Jail, there are no furry residents living there today. Even still, it's believed that the reported sounds of dogs barking belong to these long lost pooches, which were family pets of the sheriff from centuries ago.
Wailing and Sinister Laughing
It probably comes as no surprise that those who tour the Old Jail hear voices in the cells and hallways. There are many reports of wailing, moaning sounds coming from the maximum security and solitary confinement areas and some visitors have even reported hearing the voice of a little girl coming from the sheriff's quarters. Others have heard someone whistling at them; and several guests have reported hearing a dastardly laugh in one of the women's cells.
The Cold Shoulder
Haunted places often have areas that people describe as cold spots and the Old Jail is no exception. There have also been many accounts of people feeling as if someone with a cold hand is touching their shoulder. Other reports from visitors include the sensation that someone is tugging at their hair and that someone is blowing on them as they walk by.

Aging well can be accomplished with self-care and skilled medical management by physicians such as Dr. Christine Surrago, ND and Emily Dashiell, ND. Dr. Surrago and Emily Dashiell, ND practice in the Santa Monica and Los Angeles area of California at Lotus Integrative Medicine.
Although all humans age, the characteristics of the aged range from chronic disease and mental and physical debilitation to vibrant health throughout the lifespan. It is the latter condition that is called optimal aging (other terms are successful, productive, conscious and positive aging). Rather than focusing on chronological age, positive aging concepts take genetic, biomedical, behavioral and social factors into account, with the goal of retaining or even enhancing people's ability to function.
What Affects the Aging Process?
The answer is: pretty much everything. Genetic factors certainly play a role; if an individual's ancestors lived long, healthy lives, he or she probably has the genetic makeup to do the same. Nutrition plays a large role, as does adequate sleep. Exposure to natural radiation can cause cellular mutations that affect the aging process. Too much of anything — exercise, body fat, alcohol or sexual activity, for example — can negatively affect the aging process. Lifestyle habits like smoking accelerate the aging process.
How Can Naturopathy Help With Optimal Aging?
The goal of a naturopathic physician is to promote health and wellness for each patient. This requires an individualized approach to such lifestyle issues as diet and exercise. Many of the treatments and remedies used in naturopathic medicine are meant to support the body, using a preventive approach rather than waiting until disease appears and then dealing with the fall-out. Naturopathic physicians practice holistic medicine, which ensures that all areas of health — mental, physical, emotional and spiritual — are considered in providing care.
While people can't do anything about their genetic make-up, lifestyle has a huge impact on aging. One of the most important things people can do for their health is to avoid tobacco in all forms, as tobacco directly contributes to heart disease, blood vessel disease and cancer. A good diet, with organic fruits and vegetables, grass-fed or pasture-based meat and poultry, and minimal processed food, provides the body with optimum nutrition for all metabolic processes. In some cases, supplements may be helpful. Regular exercise and adequate sleep (at least seven hours a night) round out the self-help activities.

COVID-19 Has Blown Away the Myth About 'First' and 'Third' World Competence
By External Source
JOHANNESBURG, May 15 2020 (IPS)
One of the planet's – and Africa's – deepest prejudices is being demolished by the way countries handle COVID-19.
For as long as any of us remember, everyone "knew" that "First World" countries – in effect, Western Europe and North America – were much better at providing their citizens with a good life than the poor and incapable states of the "Third World". "First World" has become shorthand for competence, sophistication and the highest political and economic standards.
So deep-rooted is this that even critics of the "First World" usually accept it. They might argue that it became that way by exploiting the rest of the world or that it is not morally or culturally superior. But they never question that it knows how to offer (some) people a better material life. Africans and others in the "Third World" often aspire to become like the "First World" – and to live in it, because that means living better.
For Anglophone Africans, it is doubly interesting that two of the greatest failures in handling COVID-19 are the former coloniser, Britain, and the English-speaking superpower, the United States of America
So we should have expected the state-of-the-art health systems of the "First World", spurred on by their aware and empowered citizens, to handle COVID-19 with relative ease, leaving the rest of the planet to endure the horror of buckling health systems and mass graves.
We have seen precisely the opposite.
"First World" is often code for countries run by Europeans or people of European descent; some of the worst health performers on the globe in recent weeks have been "First World". For Anglophone Africans, it is doubly interesting that two of the greatest failures in handling COVID-19 are the former coloniser, Britain, and the English-speaking superpower, the United States of America.
Both countries' national governments have made just about every possible mistake in tackling COVID-19.
They ignored the threat. When they were forced to act, they sent mixed signals to citizens which encouraged many to act in ways which spread the infection. Neither did anything like the testing needed to control the virus. Both failed to equip their hospitals and health workers with the equipment they needed, triggering many avoidable deaths.
The failure was political. The US is the only rich country with no national health system. An attempt by former president Barack Obama to extend affordable care was watered down by right-wing resistance, then further gutted by the current president and his party. Britain's much-loved National Health Service has been weakened by spending cuts. Both governments failed to fight the virus in time because they had other priorities.
And yet, in Britain, the government's popularity ratings are sky high and it is expected to win the next election comfortably. The US president is behind in the polls but the contest is close enough to make his re-election a real possibility. Can there be anything more typically "Third World" than citizens supporting a government whose actions cost thousands of lives?
Western European countries such as Spain, Italy and Africa's other wholesale coloniser, France, also battled to contain the virus. Some European countries have coped reasonably well, as have some run by the descendants of Europeans such as New Zealand and Australia. But the star performers are not in the historical "First World".
Effective responses
The most effective response was probably South Korea's, followed by other East Asian states and territories. This is partly because they are used to dealing with coronavirus outbreaks. But it is also because they learned from experience: South Korea's success is due to very effective testing and tracing of infected people. Whatever the reason, it is East Asia, not "the West", which has done what the "First World" is expected to do.
Some would reply that East Asia is now "First World". So, it is still superior; it has simply changed its address. This is debatable. But, even if it is accepted, some places have contained the virus in distinctly "Third World" conditions.
Kerala was the first Indian state to encounter the virus but has kept deaths down to three. It had largely curbed COVID-19 but is now dealing with nearly 200 cases, all people arriving from other parts of India. Judging by its record so far, it will contain this outbreak too.
Kerala, too, has learnt from handling previous epidemics. It also has a strong health system. But one of its key tools is citizen participation: it has worked with neighbourhood watches and citizen volunteers to track the contacts of infected people. Students were recruited to build kiosks at which citizens were tested. Kerala also had the capacity to ensure that all children entitled to school meals received them after schools were closed: non-governmental organisations were mostly responsible, emphasising the partnership between the government and citizens.
Kerala's performance is not a fluke: it has, for years, produced better health outcomes and literacy rates than the rest of India.
Nor has Africa's response to the virus confirmed prejudices. When COVID-19 began spreading, it became almost routine for reports, commentaries – and Melinda Gates, who, with her husband Bill, heads the couple's development foundation – to predict that Africa would be engulfed in death as the virus ripped through its weak health systems. This is, after all, what is meant to happen in the "Third World" and particularly in Africa, which is always considered the least capable continent on the planet.
So far, it has not happened. It still might but, even if it does, some countries are coping better than the dire predictions claimed (and, perhaps, better than the "First World"). One stand-out is Senegal, which has devised a cheap test for the virus and has used 3-D printing to produce ventilators at a fraction of the going price. Africa, too, has experienced recent outbreaks, notably of Ebola, and seems to have learned valuable lessons from them.
The "First World" is still far richer than the rest of the planet and may well remain so. So its politicians, academics and journalists will probably still believe they are better than the rest.
But the COVID-19 experience may just trigger new thinking in the "Third World". The most basic function of a government is to protect the safety of its citizens. Ensuring that people remain healthy is at least as important a guarantee of safety as protecting them from violence.
Reasonable people would surely much rather be living in Kerala or Senegal (or East Asia) right now than in Europe and North America, raising obvious questions about who really does offer a better life.
That should inspire Africans and others in the "Third World" to ask themselves whether it makes sense to want to be America, Britain or France. COVID-19 has made a strong argument for wanting to be East Asia – or, given Africa's circumstances, Kerala.

Q: Spring Boot (v2.1.6) Microsoft Planner Integration I am working on a Spring Boot service that integrates the web API for Microsoft Planner. I've created an app registration in Azure and granted the permissions for Groups.Read.All and Users.Read.All (delegated).
What I am currently attempting to implement is server side oauth authentication. As of now, the authorization-grant-type that I am using is client_credentials. With the below WebSecurityConfiguration I am able to make a request to endpoint that I created called /test. The endpoint is a GET request that has an argument @RegisteredOAuth2AuthorizedClient("azure") OAuth2AuthorizedClient authorizedClient.
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.builders.HttpSecurity;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.configuration.EnableWebSecurity;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.configuration.WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter;
import org.springframework.security.oauth2.client.oidc.userinfo.OidcUserRequest;
import org.springframework.security.oauth2.client.userinfo.OAuth2UserService;
import org.springframework.security.oauth2.core.oidc.user.OidcUser;

@EnableWebSecurity
public class WebSecurityConfiguration {

    @Configuration
    public class AzureSecurityConfiguration extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {

        private OAuth2UserService<OidcUserRequest, OidcUser> oAuth2UserService;

        @Autowired
        public AzureSecurityConfiguration(OAuth2UserService<OidcUserRequest, OidcUser> oAuth2UserService) {
            this.oAuth2UserService = oAuth2UserService;
        }

        @Override
        protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
            http.authorizeRequests().anyRequest().permitAll().and()
                .csrf().csrfTokenRepository(CookieCsrfTokenRepository.withHttpOnlyFalse()).and()
                    .addFilterBefore(authenticationFilter, UsernamePasswordAuthenticationFilter.class);
        }
    }
}

With that, when the request is made Spring will make the necessary request to Microsofts OAuth endpoints to get an access token.
When using this token to make a request (w/Postman) to a Microsoft Planner API endpoint, https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/{username}/planner/tasks I get the following response:
{
    "error": {
        "code": "UnknownError",
        "message": "<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN\" \"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd\">\r\n\r\n\r\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\"/>\r\n<title>401 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid credentials.</title>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

<fieldset>\r\n
401 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid credentials.
\r\n

        "innerError": {
            "request-id": "some randomly generated id",
            "date": "time stamp of request"
        }
    }
}

The scope defined that gets me this far is https://graph.microsoft.com/.default. At this point I'm sure why this works but when defining the scope as https://graph.microsoft.com/users.read.all or https://graph.microsoft.com/users.read.all does not work, and gets me an error stating that the provided value for the input parameter is not valid.
Groups.Read.All and Users.Read.All are the API permissions that I have granted to the app registration in Azure so I am not sure why that fails.
My ultimate goal is project is to leverage Microsoft's Graph API to create, delete, update MS Planner Tasks for a given user. I would like the service to log the user in instead of the user having to manually log into Office 360. It would be nice to make it seamless to the user.
Any help would be most appreciated.
SIDE NOTE: I've already looked through the azure github at the samples they provide and they were helpful to a certain extent.
UPDATE:
I've noticed that in the JSON that contains the access token, there's a property called principalName which it is set to "anonymousUser". I'm thinking this is why the access token does not have the permissions to make request to https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/{user.name}/planner/tasks.
Has anyone seen this before, and is there a way to set the principalName to an actual username?

Power Shifting from West to East? Think Again..
Chinaeconomyfuture
By Arun Prabhudesai Last updated May 30, 2014
Okay, on this blog we have been talking about constant rise of India and reasons on why India will become the next super-power. There are thousands of articles on the web talking about power shift from West to East, where Chindia (a new word coined for China & India for its combined power+growth).
However, there are certain harsh facts as well that we need to consider before we can confidently say that power is shifting to East.
Here are some of the key highlights that will surprise you:
Even after scorching Economic growth in Asian region, the average per capita income is $5,800, compared to $48,000 of America. India's per capita is, although doubled over last year, is still around $1000, (48 times lesser than U.S.A). It is expected that in 30 years from now India's annual per capita may reach close to $20,000.
It will take the average Asian 77 years to reach the income of the average American. The Chinese need 47 years. For Indians, the figure is 123 years.
The combined military spending for whole of Asian region in 2008 was only a third that of the United States.
Asia's combined military budget won't equal that of the United States for 72 years.
Asian countries are expected to have constant Military conflicts amongst themselves. China and Japan have fought repeatedly over Korea; the Soviet Union teamed up with India and Vietnam to check China, while China supported Pakistan to counterbalance India. Already, China's recent rise has pushed Japan and India closer together. These internal conflicts have to be given much thought before power epicentre could shift to Asia.
More than 20 percent of Asians will be elderly by 2050. Aging is a principal cause of Japan's stagnation. China's elderly population will soar in the middle of the next decade. Its savings rate will fall while healthcare and pension costs explode.
India is a lone exception to these trends as they have age factor on their side.
Environmental and natural resource constraints could also prove crippling. Pollution is worsening Asia's shortage of fresh water while air pollution exacts a terrible toll on health (It kills almost 400,000 people each year in China alone). Without revolutionary advances in alternative energy, Asia could face a severe energy crunch.
Corruption is another factor which cripples most of the Asian countries and 2 biggies in particular – India & China.
Innovation is a key ingredient for the growth of any country or region and Asia lacks of Innovation. (This conclusion is purely based on patents offered) – In 2008, American inventors were awarded 92,000 U.S. patents, twice the combined total given to South Korean and Japanese inventors. Asia's two giants, China and India, still lag far behind. (This may actually be debatable because India may have thousands of patents in India, but U.S may have very dew here)
Asia is increasingly giving more importance to higher education. But even then Asian universities will not become the world's leading centres of learning and research anytime soon.
None of the world's top 10 universities is located in Asia, and only the University of Tokyo ranks among the world's top 20
In the last 30 years, only eight Asians, seven of them Japanese, have won a Nobel Prize in the sciences.
There are many other points that will make it extremely difficult for power to shift to East from West in the foreseeable future.
Some of the numbers and points mentioned here are sourced from article – Think Again: Asia's Rise by MINXIN PEI, (recommended reading)

Go to American, Canadian or Australian embassies in India and China, the long queues of visa hungry people speak of these facts…as they know that if they will keep living in Chindias, their lives won't get better atleast in their life times…
It reminds me a line that I read once in The Tribune: India is Shining…but dimly. Power shift needs some basic values that are still invisible in Chindia. Do a simple test: Provide basic uninterrupted water and electricity to every home. If this can be achieved I guarantee there will be a power shift.
All these stated facts stand on some basic priniciples, create them, power shift will do happen…Or there are two options: Compromise with East or Go West…

"Go West" is a disco song by the Village People. I don't see its relation to the East.

Indiana Prospects provide development, college opportunities
December 15, 2017 stvkrh905	13 Comments
Developing players and getting them to the next level — college or professional.
That is the mission of the Indiana Prospects travel baseball organization.
President and director of operations Shane Stout says the Prospects have placed more than 400 players in colleges the past seven or eight years.
Dillon Peters, son of Prospects founder Mark Peters, played at Indianapolis Cathedral High School and the University of Texas before before a 10th-round selection in the 2014 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft by the Miami Marlins. The left-handed pitcher made his MLB debut for Miami Sept. 1, 2017.
The past year, IP enjoyed a success rate of 50 college commits in one age group of 52 athletes.
"In my opinion that's what it's about," says Stout. "We teach them, keep them healthy and get them into a good institution where they get a good degree.
"We take more pride in being able to network and out-work our competition.
"Look at our track record."
Stout is looking to put his teams in the best tournaments — win or lose.
"We're out there to get exposure in front of the college coaches," says Stout. "I'm not going to go around and hunt trophies.
"If I wanted to go 52-1 in a year, I could."
The Prospects 17U-Woolwine squad won the 2017 Marucci World Series in Baton Rouge, La.
Also last summer, the Prospects sent a 16U team against the Orlando Scorpions with a player firing 95 mph heat.
"We're not hiding or ducking from anybody," says Stout, who coached IP's first Perfect Game USA national tournament champions at the 15U BCS Finals in Fort Myers, Fla., in 2010. "You throw your best against our best.
"We try not to water things down. We don't consider our teams A, B and C. Baseball is baseball. Anybody can beat anybody."
Going to the top-flight tournaments and inviting many colleges to attend scout days, the Prospects are looking to find a fit for everyone.
"We try not to let players slip through the cracks," says Stout. "Baseball is one of the few sports you can play at any given level. There's nothing wrong with Division II, Division III, NAIA or junior college.
"If you're good enough, you'll still have a chance to get drafted."
Stout is constantly on the phone, making connections. Before tournaments, he sends out contact sheets for players who are eligible for communication. He includes the game schedule, pitching rotation, academic and high school coach's contact information.
"I reach out to the colleges," says Stout. "I try not to leave any rock unturned. That's why I have the credibility with the college coaches I do.
"It's who you know."
Schedules and travel details are knocked out during the winter with the help of IP coaches. Younger teams start in the spring and play as many as 60 games with high schoolers playing around 40 contests and about five to seven tournaments in the summer. They shut down before school starts again in the fall.
Stout does not want to overload the younger players and encourages the older ones to pursue other sports.
"We give kids an opportunity to have something of a summer and it's not just baseball, baseball, baseball," says Stout. "For pitchers, fall is the time for them to take a break (and rest their arms). (Playing football, basketball etc.) creates a more well-rounded athlete to mix it up and do other things
"College coaches watch my players play in high school basketball games. They see that quick twitch (muscle) and how they handle themselves on the court."
Travel baseball goes places that high school teams do not and plays at a time — the summer — when colleges can devote more time to recruiting.
But Stout sees the relationship between travel ball and high school as very important.
"We embrace the high school coaches and try to keep them involved as much as possible," says Stout, who counts prep coaches on the IP coaching staff. "It's a process that involves high school baseball, travel baseball and the young man's work ethic.
"Sometimes there's a disconnect with how it gets done."
IP, which typically fields about two dozen teams from U9 to U18 and trains at Fishers Sports Academy, draws the majority of its players from Indiana but they do come from other places.
New Jersey's Joe Dudek and Joe Gatto played for the Prospects and then the University of North Carolina on the way to minor league baseball — Dudek with the Kansas City Royals and Gatto with the Los Angeles Angels.
Other Jersey product and IP alums Austin Bodrato and Luca Dalatri went to North Carolina and the University of Florida, respectively. Florida's J.J. Bleday went to Vanderbilt University.
"They come play for us every weekend," says Stout. "They're not a hired gun or anything. If you're going four hours, it doesn't matter which direction. Everybody knows which tournament they need to be in."
Why would you play for the Indiana Prospects living in New Jersey?
"You treat people the right way," says Stout.
Doing things the right way is important to the IP Way.
"You put on an Indiana Prospects uniforms we're going to shake the umpire's hand and we're going to respect the game," says Stout.
The number of players on each 15U to 18U roster varies depending on the number of pitcher-onlys.
"In larger tournaments, you may play eight games in five days," says Stout. "We want to bring a kid to college as healthy as he can be. I always try to error on the side of caution."
New Albany's Josh Rogers, Bloomington South's Jake Kelzer, New Castle's Trey Ball and Andrean's Zac Ryan are also among Prospects alums who pitched in the minors in 2017.

The United Stated Transportation Command hosted their fifth Non-lethal Weapons Familiarization event Aug. 30, 2018, at the Illinois National Guard Training Area in Sparta, Illinois.
Representatives from the Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Directorate, Marine Corps Base Quantico, Virginia, conducted familiarizations for 45 shooters from the local police department, local Sheriff's department, 126th Air Refueling Wing, 375th Security Forces Squadron, and the 375th Logistics Readiness Squadron.
"The objective of the non-lethal weapons FAMFIRE event was to educate leadership, planners and forces regarding non-lethal weapons capabilities," said Sloan Cox, USTRANSCOM joint non-lethal weapons program manager and Combatant Command non-lethal weapons liaison.
Representatives from companies, such as Safariland and PepperBall, demonstrated weapons and ammunitions. Once demonstrated, shooters were able to try out a variety of weaponry.
Participants fired from 12-gauge M870 shotguns, M203 40mm grenade launchers and FN303R compressed air launchers. These weapons are usually considered lethal but when the ammunition is interchanged with rubber bullets, bean bags, etc., they are used for crowd control or adherence.
They were also able to view a sting-ball grenade flash bang, TASER and a modular crowd control munitions demonstration.
Non-lethal weapons provide warfighters with escalation-of-force options when lethal force is not the best first response. Non-lethal weapons are intended to have reversible effects on personnel and materiel.
"The event was a huge success, anytime you can get local police agencies mixed with local Air Force security forces together to focus on a common goal it is a win," said Cox.

Reunited and It Feels So 'Goodness Gracious Me': BBC's Comedy Sketch Show Returns
by Pavani Yalamanchili
Dave Lamb, Nina Wadia, Kulvinder Ghir, Meera Syal and husband Sanjeev Bhaskar in a "Blurred Lines" parody for the Goodness Gracious Me reunion show.
The popular and ground-breaking comedy sketch show Goodness Gracious Me (1996-2001) returns for a one-off reunion special on May 26 as part of BBC Two's 50th anniversary celebrations. Creator, co-writer and star Meera Syal has revealed that if she and the cast were asked they'd be up for making a full-length GGM series again.
What's in store for viewers on Monday night's special episode? Syal's favorite character Smita Smitten, showbiz kitten, didn't make the cut due to time constraints. Here's the official word from the network:
The all-new material features favourite characters from the original series, including how you can tell Sherlock Holmes comes from India, some very competitive grandmothers, and a surprisingly high-tech use for an aubergine.
Plus some unusually hard-hitting legal advice, a very scary nanny, and the heart-breaking denouement of the black-and-white movie classic Madrasablanca. (BBC)
A few months ago, Syal talked to The Aerogram about working with costars Sanjeev Bhaskar, Kulvinder Ghir, and Nina Wadia and the creative process behind the show. Here's what she had to say about what the show did for British and South Asian comedy:
That's the amazing thing about comedy, it breaks down preconceptions in a way that a thousand political speeches can never do. Being funny is a powerful place to be, especially when you're not the punchline of other people's crass racist jokes but are actually pulling the comedy trigger yourselves.
If you make someone laugh, you're not The Other any more, you've dragged them into your world view and made them laugh.

2022 Ferris State vs Grand Valley State - NCAA Quarterfinals
GVSU, Ferris State Rematch Coming Saturday In National Quarterfinals
GVSU and Ferris State have more than 50 games of history, and they'll meet again Saturday in the regional quarterfinals of the NCAA Division II Playoffs.
Dec 2, 2022 by Ron Balaskovitz
When the bracket was revealed for the NCAA Division II Playoffs, all eyes immediately went to the upper right quadrant, where Grand Valley State and Ferris State, a pair of legitimate title threats, were set up to meet in the regional final, if they both could take care of business beforehand.
While Ferris State rolled past fellow GLIAC member Davenport in the opening round, GVSU rested with a bye.
The two teams nearly both saw their seasons come to an end last week but found a way to survive and advance.
Both teams won by less than a touchdown, and each won a defensive battle on their home field to set up a rematch of an October thriller, where GVSU pulled out a win in the game's final minutes.
Grand Valley State Vs. Ferris State
There are no secrets when it comes to GVSU and Ferris State.
The Anchor Bone rivals have met 54 times over the course of the series, including Oct. 15 of this year, when the Lakers eked out a 22-21 win in Big Rapids that proved to be the difference in the GLIAC title race. That's also what gave the Lakers home-field advantage for this Saturday's matchup.
Dec 3, 2022, 6:00 PM UTC
As if 54 games of history didn't provide enough disdain for the two rivals, this marks the fourth playoff matchup between the two teams since the 2015 season.
Ferris State has claimed the last two playoff games between the two squads, rolling last season by a 54-20 final. The teams alternated wins in the 2015 and 2016 postseasons.
Saturday's rematch nearly didn't happen, however, as both teams had to sweat out tight games last week against opponents from middle America, with Ferris State booting a fourth-quarter field goal to top Pittsburg State 17-14, and GVSU scoring a late touchdown to top Northwest Missouri State, 13-8.
Ferris State looked like it might roll in its game against the Gorillas, jumping out to a 14-0 lead in the first quarter, but the Pittsburg State defense turned the game around with a pick-six late in the second quarter to cut the lead in half. They tied the game late in the third quarter after starting the drive in Ferris State territory.
But the Bulldogs settled in, and on a nine-play drive that reached the Pittsburg State 3-yard line, Eddie Jewett drilled what proved to be the game-winner, a 20-yard field goal with just under 10 minutes remaining.
From there, it was a heroic effort from the Bulldog defense, which forced a three and out, a turnover on downs, then forced the Gorillas to try a 44-yard field goal that sailed wide right with three seconds left.
The EIGHT are GREAT.

In truth, Ferris State might be lucky to have advanced, turning the ball over five times in the loss - a trio of interceptions and two fumbles - keeping the Gorillas in the game, something that must be cleaned up, if they hope to topple GVSU.
But the Ferris defense proved why it was a top-10 unit this season, holding PSU to just 217 yards of offense, despite giving them five extra chances with the ball.
While Ferris State nearly went to overtime, GVSU nearly went home.
The Lakers went up 7-0 late in the first quarter on a Tariq Reid score to cap an 89-yard drive, but from there, the offense stalled, and Northwest Missouri State did just enough to take the lead.
The Bearcats booted a 34-yard field goal in the second quarter, got a safety late in the third, then took an 8-7 lead with less than four minutes to go on a 25-yard kick.
With their backs to the wall, the Lakers answered with a five-play, 72-yard drive, capped by Reid scoring from seven yards out with less than two minutes to play.
The big play on the drive came when quarterback Cade Peterson hit Jahdae Walker for a 52-yard pass to reach the Northwest 11.
Following the score, the Laker defense, itself a top-10 unit this season, capped the game by getting a pair of sacks and an interception to secure their spot in the national quarterfinals.
NCAA ALL-TIME RECORD! Ferris State's Caleb Murphy has more sacks this season than any player in NCAA college football history after yesterday's monster performance! His 24.5 sacks to date tops the previous record of 24.0 sacks by Terrell Suggs of Arizona State in 2002! pic.twitter.com/za5idQrO7M
— Ferris St. Football (@FerrisFootball) November 27, 2022
The normally efficient Lakers struggled on third and fourth downs in the win, going just 5-of-16 combined, while the Bearcats made life difficult for their passing attack, holding Peterson and company to just 10-of-24 passing, while sacking him three times.
As often is the case this time of year, it doesn't matter how you win, just as long as you do. That, of course, is what keeps the season alive.
All of those things now result in a rematch between maybe the top two teams in the country, and one where the Bulldogs are looking for revenge.
Ferris led the game in October by 12 points with under eight minutes to go, but a pair of rushing scores less than five minutes apart lifted the Lakers to the win and eventually the GLIAC crown.
Prior to this past week's game, the 22 points the Bulldogs held the Lakers to were the fewest GVSU scored all season.
While the Bulldogs feel like that October game got away from them, the Lakers have to be thinking they could have won by more. GVSU won nearly every offensive category in the game, and had it not been for a pair of untimely turnovers, the Lakers might have been able to run away from the Bulldogs.
As has been the case all season, it's two teams that are among the top 10 in scoring offense and defense, so we could see anything from a repeat of this past weekend, where the defenses shined, to a game where whomever has the ball last wins in an offensive showcase.
It's also not a stretch to say this could be a potential national-championship game. These are the only two teams that have held the No. 1 ranking this season. And, again, the only loss between the two was to each other back in October.
Add it all up, and there's potential for another classic.

Hurry and grab your favorite dishes at Yamagen before they close on Feb. 29.
We're losing an icon: Yamagen is closing
After 30 years, the Moiliili hole-in-the-wall will serve its last udon and rice bowls on Feb. 29
By: Stephanie Kuroda, Special to Frolic Hawaii Feb 7, 2020
It breaks my heart to write this article. I recently found out that my all-time favorite local Japanese restaurant will be closing its doors at the end of this month, on February 29, 2020. I stumbled across the news through Alice's Instagram stories announcing the restaurant's closure.
Alice Hiraga is the daughter of Satoshi Hiraga — the man, the engine, the powerhouse behind Yamagen. If you've been to Yamagen, you've seen him. He's always there. He works 18 hours a day, five days a week, prepping before lunch and dinner to serve up the best home-style Japanese comfort food I've come across. It truly is a family-run business with his two daughters, Alice and Patty, working from a young age at the restaurant and his wife, Mitsuko Hiraga, coming to help out after her full-time job at a travel agency and on her days off.
Left, Satoshi Hiraga prepping for service in 2002. Right, Satoshi and Alice when she was around 6 years old. Photos courtesy of Alice Hiraga
But with time comes age, and with age, our body starts to wear down, especially after years of working 18-hour days. So after 30 plentiful years, Satoshi decided it was time for him as well as Yamagen to retire.
People talk about hitting up Ono Seafood, Zippy's, Rainbows and such when they're back on island during college breaks. Not me. Yamagen is where you would find me. Their lunch plates were only $6 to $7!! Can you believe that? And they ranged from yaki udon and soba to katsu curry don and their renowned combination don, which included perfectly fried chicken and vegetable tempura.
Combination dinner with katsu curry don and hiyashi tanuki udon.
The combination dinner is THE BEST AND MOST DELICIOUS DEAL. For $15, you have your choice of donburi and your choice of noodles. My go-to is always and will forever be katsu curry don and hiyashi tanuki udon. The curry, dare I say, is better than Curry House. It's light, bursting with flavor and uncontrollably addicting. I wish I knew the recipe. I also always order a side of fried mochi ($3), which comes with three pieces and homemade tendon sauce. Eat it while it's hot. The sauce is the magical element. If you're a sauce addict like me, order extra sauce on the side ($.50) to dunk your mochi in.
Fried mochi with tendon sauce
Yamagen does not plan on making a huge announcement about their closure. They do not even plan on putting up a sign notifying customers. The closure is through word of mouth, so here is your "word-of-mouth" announcement. Unfortunately, they are not open for lunch anymore, but you can still swing by for dinner from 5 to 9 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. They are closed on Sundays and Wednesdays. There is also an Early Bird Special Menu from 5 to 6 p.m., which includes five items ranging from $7 to $10.
Hurry up! Go to Yamagen! Experience their food one last time, or even multiple times throughout this month. Thank Satoshi and the rest of the family for all their hard work! You can find me there almost every day til the end. Yamagen, thank you. I love you.

'The Tiger Awakens': An observer's view of the Sunflower Movement
Media Matters Political Beats Taiwan News
April 3, 2014 January 11, 2015 Trista di Genova 0 Comment DPP President Chen Shui-bian, DPP's former President Chen Shui-bian (陳水扁), Kuomintang, President Ma Ying-jeou's (馬英九), see the tiger awaken, Sunflower Movement, Sunflower Revolution
di Genova is an anthropologist and novelist, pleasantly exiled in Taiwan for over a decade.
Trista di Genova / Politics & Commentary
I don't read the newspapers or watch TV, since I lost my job in the media. Now I prefer to just show up and ask questions, and listen to what people say.
On the way to Taipei, now, and to the Legislature, thinking about how suddenly this all happened. On the evening of March 23, students occupied the legislature.
Why? The Kuomintang (KMT) President Ma apparently tried to ram a China Trade Pact through the legislature.
SEIZING THE PLATFORM
In response, last week students stormed the Legislative Yuan, occupied the speaker's podium and have held this prime bit of property ever since.
Freelancer Dave Johnson captured video of the nasty fray of that first evening, which involves water cannons and police officers who look like they don't really want to be there.
Last Sunday, I visited he to hand out candy to thank the student protestors. Wire fences close down all avenues to the Presidential Palace.
Now, behind them, as their leaders speak extemporaneously on the platform, is a hand-painted sign in English it says "5% President Ma Ying-jeou forced the legislature" to pass the China Trade Pact.
This is an amazing story!
I want to know more details of what really happened at that point in time, a) notably, Ma's relations with the Yuan at that time; and 2) what really happened the night the students took over the legislature? I feel if that is truly the case, Ma should be forced out of office.
In this sense, the Taiwan people are right to wake up in alarm; they fear this trade pact would be 'selling' Taiwan out to China. People fear Taiwan will be sucked into China like the case of Hong Kong, and are furious at Ma for this.
BE PROUD.
Many of my friends — foreign and Taiwanese alike — feel like I do right now.
Foreign observers such as myself unanimously seem to feel so proud of Taiwanese people.
The Taiwanese people are such a kind and good-hearted people, and have had such a long, often sad history of being squelched. From Koxinga to the KMT to the Japanese, for so long their desire and quest for creating an autonomous republic have until now always been crushed by these successive and oppressive administrations.
Taiwanese have long been denied a right to autonomy, and statehood, and recognition as its own separate entity: Taiwan. Pray for Taiwan, is one of their spontaneous slogans of this purely peaceful and democratic show of one's love of country. This is pure patriotism.
So it is exciting to see the tiger awaken — the Taiwanese people's sudden, fierce spring to action, in the defence of their own interests, immediate and long-term.
WISH FULFILLMENT
After former DPP President Chen Shui-bian was thrown in jail for 17 years for corruption, now we see the people's occupation of the legislature. Their demands are what? That is another question to ask of them. Are they demanding Ma step down?
He's seen even by those who voted for him in both elections as 'weak'. Ma's nearly inexistent approval ratings haven't improved with his recent statements a few days ago, urging the Taiwanese to 'respect the law', and that the trade pact would help Taiwan's 'competitive edge'. Like Taiwan's economy needs any help! They don't call it an Asian Tiger for nothing!
Another thing I'd like to know: How did the students take over, logistically, how did they overpower the police?! It makes me afraid that if our American friends tried this stunt in Washington, DC, there would be quite a lot of bloodshed and a lot of taser gun deaths.
America is not the democracy it was meant to be.
No, this feels like democracy in action.
DON"T TRY THIS AT HOME ha. It's sad to say, this probably would not be accomplished without taser deaths and other bloodshed back home in the US of A.
DAVE JOHNSON COVERED THE LEGISLATURE DURING THIS TIME:
I watch the TV. Even though my Chiineese she is poor, but it's a good chance to improve, for want of understanding, finally.
I admire the students for their sudden, fierce bravery, and feel the Strawberry Generation has finally graduated… into the students' Sunflower Movement.
What is the Sunflower Revolution?
It is peaceful, with healthy elements of derision, for instance in the recent banana 'trend,' there is much public mocking of a legislator, who insisted publicly the sunflowers used by the students were actually bananas).
And the image on television that made me laugh outright today (30 March) was that of a stolen Ministry of Foreign Affairs sign being held up as a type of booty; defaced and stolen, by all appearances! I will explore the satirical elements of this movement further, later.
But these recent developments make it almost worthwhile to get myself a TV after avoiding them all these years!
Having studied political science at Berkeley under Alan Ross and Taylor E. Dark III, I can safely say this is by far the most inspiring political event I have ever witnessed!

'Every Day Light' with Selwyn Hughes
Author Bio<?a>
"There is a certain people – whose customs are different from those of all other people." (v. 8)
For reading & meditation:
Esther 3:7-8
We pause to expand on the point we made yesterday, namely that the fierce persecution which has been directed toward the Jewish people has been the very thing that has enabled them to maintain their clear spiritual identity. The fact that they have survived the cunning of such evil rulers as Pharaoh, Haman, and, in modern times, the German Reich, is convincing evidence that God has had a hand in their affairs. Civilizations are born, mature and die - so runs the pattern of human history. It has been like this with the Babylonians, the Persians, the Romans – but not the Jews. Throughout 4,000 years of history they have struggled, fallen, fought, failed, recovered and advanced across the civilizations of time to finally settle in the Promised Land. Admittedly they are not perfect, and one wishes that the rulers in modern-day Israel would approach their problems more sensitively, but this makes no difference to the fact that their presence in the land is by divine design. Right from the moment when Terah, the father of Abraham, and his family crossed the Euphrates, and by so doing became the first people to be called "Hebrews," meaning "the people who crossed over," God has overshadowed them, guided them and protected them. The Jewish nation has been described as "God's timepiece" because their movements accurately tell the world what time it is on God's clock of prophecy. Unless I am greatly mistaken, their return to the Promised Land and their strong national identity, marks a critical and important hour on God's clock of prophecy.
Father, can it be that I am passing through a vital hour in the history of the world and of humanity? It would seem so. Help me be alert and spiritually prepared for whatever is to happen. In Jesus' Name I ask it. Amen.

•	Sprinkling the blood from inside the holy area towards the Paroches that separates the holy from the Holy of Holies
•	Later placing some of the blood (mixed together with the male goat's blood) on the horns of the golden (inner) altar all around then sprinkling the blood on top of the altar with his finger seven times
•	Disposing of the bull by bringing it outside the camp where its skin, flesh and waste matter is burned
	People's sin offering (to atone for impurity of the Temple and sacrifices caused by the nation; wearing white)
•	Two communal goats are brought to the entrance of the Ohel Moed
•	Two lots are prepared, placed and mixed up in a small box. On one is written "for God" and on the other is written "LaAzazayl"
•	The two goats are placed side by side, and then the High priest puts both his hands in the receptacle. The lot in his right hand is placed on the goat to the right and the lot in his left hand is placed on the goat to the left.
•	The goat "for God" , designated a sin-offering, is slaughtered and its blood sprinkled (like the bull's) towards the top and then bottom ends of the kapores; towards the paroches; on the horns of the golden altar all around; sprinkling with his index finger seven times on the top of the golden altar

•	The resulting cloud of the incense covering the kapores creates a screen preventing the High Priest from gazing at or getting too close to the Holy Presence
	Further Yom Kippur offerings (Gold garments, because these are not connected to the Holy of Holies)
•	High Priest's ram for a burnt offering

What is Azazayl?
	Name of a known mountain
	Strong, hard rocky cliff
	The one to be sent away
	Ancient technical term for removal of sin and guilt of the community

	Personification of demon in the wilderness regarded as a focus of impurity
	A Divinely-created force, Satan, who serves as prosecutor in the court of God
Sending Away the Goat to Azazayl
Rambam views these ceremonies as symbolic in nature designed to foster the process of repentance. The nation symbolically was set free from the offenses contracted in its desert life within the domain of the pagan deity of the desert. It felt cleansed of its sins having removed them away as far as possible.
Rabbi Jonathan Sacks notes that sins leave stains on the character of those who commit them, and these need to be cleansed before one can undergo catharsis. The sacrificed goat represents kapparah, atonement. The goat sent away symbolizes teharah, cleansing of the moral stain. The two goats, identical in appearance yet opposite in fate represent the duality of forces within us. We have two inclinations, one good (yetser tov), one bad (yetser hara). We have two minds, one emotional, one rational. We do not deny our sins. We confess them then let go of them. Our sins, that might have led us into exile, are themselves exiled. We symbolically send our yetser hara into the wilderness where it belongs and where it will meet a violent death. Now we are ready to start anew.
"And Keep My Decrees and Laws, since it is Only by Keeping Them That a Person Can Truly Live. I Am God".
This verse introduces the section of the Torah that deals with forbidden relations. After listing the specific sexual liaisons (mostly family members) that are banned, the Torah states "Do not give any of your children to be initiated to Molekh, so that you do not profane your God's name, I am God". [Molekh was an Ammonite deity whose worship entailed a child's trial by fire or, according to others, human sacrifice.] It is only then that the Torah lists and bans homosexuality (described as being an abomination) and bestiality (characterized as a depravity).
The Torah states as a general warning not to learn or copy the abominations of all the Canaanite nations because their pagan customs and values are antithetical to Judaism.
Perhaps the interjection of a cult practice not of a sexual nature was necessary…
To pave the way for introducing banned sexual behavior whose roots are in idolatrous cult worship or
Because the Torah needed to first introduce one type of non-sexual insidious behavior(idolatry)so that it could then present other forms of disruptive social behavior (homosexuality and bestiality) that are banned for a society in which childbearing and childrearing are of paramount importance.
Sandwiched in between the prohibition to offer up one's child to the Ammonite deity Molekh and the prohibition of performing a sexual act with an animal the Torah states "And you shall not cohabit with a male as one cohabits with a woman; it is a toavah (abomination)". [Note: Lesbianism is never mentioned in the Torah but is forbidden by the rabbis.] Jewish law is concerned not with the source of a person's erotic urges or with inner feelings, but with behavior. The Torah forbids the act of homosexual intercourse, known as mishkav zakhar, but does not consider being gay to be a sin. There is no source which says that we must shun those who are homosexual or isolate them from the society. If one does not act upon his feelings, no actual problem arises.
Homosexuality in Judaism has been written about and debated by Torah scholars through the years. Following are some points of view:
	Some note that the Torah is opposed to homosexual acts, not homosexual people. Judaism does not prohibit or in any way look down upon homosexual orientation or love but does condemn the homosexual behavior
	Rambam asserts that lesbian practices (of which there is very little discussion) are forbidden because it was a "practice of Egypt" and because it constituted rebelliousness.
	Although the Torah offers no rationale for the prohibition, the Sages of the Talmud reasoned that it undermines the structure of the family when a man abandons his wife to pursue a relationship with another man
	Rav Kook ruled that a shochet who was rumored to have committed a homosexual act could be retained because, even if the rumor were true, the man might have since repented. It is noteworthy that Rabbi Kook considered homosexuality an act of volition for which one can repent
	The Lubavitcher Rebbe accepted the fact that certain men and women have an inherent sexual attraction to the same sex. However, these men are not "gay" and the women are not "lesbian." Rather, these are people with a sexual preference for the same sex. In addition, the Rebbe believed this preference is a result of social conditioning, and not an irreversible physical condition.
	Rav Aharon Lichtenstein argued that homosexuality must be treated by those who oppose it and those who do not, as one of the many concerns facing the Jewish community, and not let it dwarf all other issues. He noted that the Hebrew word toavah is not uniquely applied to the homosexual. It is also used to describe one who does not support the poor and one who is deceitful in trade. It is also used to describe forbidden animals. "We wish mechallelei Shabbat would be shomrei Shabbat [Sabbath observers], but if that's what they are, that's what they are, we accept them as they are and we don't pass judgment." All the revulsion and moral energy that is brought against homosexuality should be equally directed against other anti-Torah behaviors, too.
Rabbi Shmuel Boteach's opinion is that homosexuality cannot be a deviance, since by definition sexual deviance is an oxymoron. Since sex is instinctive, an instinct cannot be deviant. The Torah expressed a preference for heterosexuality and mandated that only this type of sexual activity is permitted for human beings. But homosexuality is a religious (between man and God) rather than a moral issue. A moral sin involves injury to an innocent party. But who is being harmed when two, unattached, consenting adults are in a relationship? Since the Torah has defined Western morality (and has preserved it for thousands of years), its viewpoint needs to be taken seriously. A Jew is judged by his actions and not his orientation. Only actions are prohibited, not proclivities. Controlling behavior, though difficult, is what the Torah asks. Judaism looks negatively at homosexual activity, but not at the homosexual nature. Rabbi Boteach salutes the modern State of Israel for affording dignity, rights and protection for its LGBT citizens.
Up until recently it was assumed even in medical circles that being homosexual was a conscious choice. Current psychiatric thinking is that the individual who is homosexual has no choice because his condition derives from biological (hormonal) and/or genetic issues. Even some heterosexual men have had either latent or overt homosexual desires at some point in their lives. A large study conducted in 2014 found links between specific areas of the human genome [complete set of genetic information] and sexual orientation—but did not uncover a "gay gene" that reliably make someone homosexual.
Consuming Blood is prohibited
"This is because the life-force of the flesh is in the blood…it is the blood that atones for life" [when placed on the altar in the Holy Temple as part of the sacrificial service].This prohibition, mentioned seven times in the Torah, is so severe that it is punishable by karet [divine cutting off of one's life or the life of one's children].The text indicates that the prohibition applies to animals and birds.[Note: It is for this reason that meat that is to be cooked and eaten needs to be salted first, to draw out the blood. The liver is so filled with blood that only broiling can remove the blood.] Blood of fish and locusts is permitted. Human blood is prohibited rabbinically.
Blood makes atonement for ritual uncleanliness by reason of "nephesh" or "soul substance" it contains. This "soul substance" was to be only used as a purifying agent for the soul of the person who sinned as part of the sacrificial service in the Holy Temple.
Rambam explains that some ancients consumed blood as part of an idolatrous pagan ritual. They believed that the blood was the food of demons and whoever ate blood could then cooperate with the demons. Also, blood is a purifying and sanctifying liquid when used in the Temple ritual.
Ramban sees this prohibition as a remnant of the ancient pre-flood era when man was prohibited from eating meat. After the flood the eating of meat was permitted but the ban on blood remained in place.
Rav Kook sees this (as well as the commandment to spill and cover the blood from the slaughter of wild beast and fowl) as a step toward the return of a more ideal vegetarianism state that existed before the flood.
Perhaps we are what we eat and consumption of blood could trigger a blood-lust in us and would desensitize us to the suffering of other humans whose blood is shed. The consumed blood would mix with our own blood and infect us with animalistic coarse and unrefined traits and tendencies. Or perhaps the Torah wants us to avoid any feeling of overwhelming power and control that might be triggered by the consumption of the life force of ferocious, aggressive animals and fowl.

The argument could be made that any Rolling Stones show is more an event than it is a mere concert but that is truly the case for this show filmed at London's Hyde Park before 100,000 fans earlier this year.
Being the last gig on their 50th Anniversary Tour, the show officially put a bow on a very significant celebration. This was also an emotional return to Hyde Park for the band; the only other time they had played there was in 1969 when they returned to playing live after the death of guitarist Brian Jones. Mick, Keith and Charlie, the three remaining Stones who were there, reminisce about this at the beginning of the film while vintage film clips run.
The concert is typical Stones; Mick dancing and preening, Keef and Woody riffing and Charlie banging away stoically through a long list of career-spanning hits including "Jumpin' Jack Flash," "Start Me Up," "Street Fighting Man," "Ruby Tuesday," "Miss You" and "Brown Sugar."
Notable moments include an appearance by ex-Stone Mick Taylor on "Midnight Rambler," Keith's turn on vocals on "Happy" and "You Got the Silver" (the Let it Bleed cut is the only non-hit in the set list) and Mick's prancing in a white puffy-sleeved shirt that he wore at the '69 show. The rousing anthem "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" closes the show.
