JHR Volume 11
Differing Views of the Dead Sea Scrolls
As editor of Christian News, I have often recommended The Journal of Historical Review and the IHR Newsletter to our readers. I wish that every clergyman, teacher and professor would read your publications. At the same time, though, I regret that the IHR continues to defend the position taken by IHR editorial advisor Dr. Martin Larson on the Dead Sea Scrolls.
In his 1981 essay, "Whatever Happened to the Dead Sea Scrolls?" (Journal, Summer 1982), Larson sought to show that Christianity is a man-made religion that was heavily influenced by the Essenes, an anti-establishment Jewish sect, and that John the Baptist and Jesus were very likely followers of this cult. Larson went on to suggest that Christian and Jewish interests have conspired to suppress the Scrolls because of what they supposedly reveal about the non-divine origins of Christianity, and because they depict the Jewish leaders of the time in highly unflattering terms.
In the February 13, 1989, issue of Christian News, we reprinted Larson's essay, along with a thoughtful and detailed refutation by Raymond Surburg, Ph.D., Th.D, of Concordia Seminary, Fort Wayne, Indiana. Dr. Surburg showed that, however well-informed he may be about other matters, Larson is out of his field when he writes about the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Bible and Christianity.
Surburg also noted:
As far as Larson's charge is concerned that both Israel and Christians have much to gain from the non-publication of the remaining finds, this writer would contend that Christianity as reflected in the New Testament is sui generis and differs from the theology of the Pharisees, Sadduccees, Essenes, the Qumran sectaries, the Zealots, or whatever religious views might be found at Qumran in the future.
In my own presentation at the 1989 IHR Conference, I said that Larson did not have the facts and evidence to back up his speculations. (Christian News, Feb. 20, p. 9)
An item in the January 1991 IHR Newsletter, "The Scrolls: The Plot Thickens," commends Larson's 1981 essay, and suggests that the removal of Dr. John Strugnell of the Harvard Divinity School as chief editor of the Scrolls committee, as well as the controversy surrounding his removal, support Larson's view of the Scrolls. In fact, the Strugnell affair does not validate Larson's main point in any way.
Even some of those who have been complaining most loudly about the great delay in publishing the Scrolls, including the Biblical Archaeology Review, acknowledge that this delay has nothing to do with their contents.
Nothing has been found in the Dead Sea Scrolls to support Larson's contention that Christianity is a man-made religion. Instead, the Scrolls confirm the accuracy of the Hebrew text that Christians have been using for centuries.
The Christian is not a bigot. He does not fear the truth, but carefully evaluates all the relevant evidence in all areas. There is far more compelling evidence for Christianity than for any other religion. Christianity alone is divinely revealed. It is based on historic fact.
Herman Otten, Editor — Publisher Christian News
Editor's Response:
It deserves to be repeated, and emphasized, that the position of the Institute for Historical Review on the matter of the Dead Sea Scrolls, and the basis for its support of Dr. Larson's articles, regarded the withholding of the Scrolls by a small coterie of scholars, backed by the state of Israel. The recent release of copies of the Scrolls by the Huntington Library in San Marino, California to the larger community of competent scholars will eventually furnish much more evidence bearing on Dr. Larson's, and the Reverend Otten's, differing theories on the origins of the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Essenes, and Christianity. Needless to say, the Institute for Historical Review takes no position on theological matters.

He removed his gloves to retrieve the photo of the missing boy from his pocket. Taken on Christmas morning—the boy held up a stuffed bear for the camera as a little brown dog licked the side of his face. A cute five year old with a Jack o'lantern smile missing two front teeth.
He made out the lines of an old barbed wire fence, a lone remnant of a farmer's field from a simpler time. In the white, gray and black of the solid frozen landscape, a flash of orange stood out amongst the gloom.
He stood and stared before the information clicked into understanding, connecting the singular pieces into a whole. The boy had made a bee line from his house through the forest and alongside Deer Creek. Scooting along the ice, tromping through the snow as the sun sparkled prisms through icicles hung from giant trees. It tricked the child into feelings of fun and folly among the glittering winter playground, but the cold closed in. Too small to maneuver over the barbed wire, the boy crawled under the fence. His orange jacket twisted in the barbs where it cemented his fate. His face set in a horrid state of terror, his mouth wide open from screams for his mother drown out by the north wind. Thin lines of frozen tears snaked down his cheeks. His blue eyes now an opaque gray stood wide open, a final stare up at the Milky Way before going to God.
So sad. You really captured the pain of it.
Very descriptive short tale of a child's pain.
Ouch. Raw images here with the cold and barbed wire.

Marvel Studios Boss Kevin Feige on When the Avengers 4 Trailer Will Debut and Guardians 3 Status
Marvel's The Avengers: Endgame / Oct. 26, 2018
Give us the news, boss.
By Jessie Wade
At a special screening of Black Panther on Thursday evening, Sirius XM journalist Erick Weber posted a tweet of responses from Marvel Studios' Kevin Feige on when the Avengers 4 trailer will debut, among other questions.
Feige said the trailer will be released "before the end of the year," which confirms the Avengers 4 trailer will debut within approximately 2 months – sometime in 2018.
Weber also included that Feige confirmed Guardians 3 is "on hold," which doesn't come as a huge surprise, as the news had already circulated after the firing of director, James Gunn. We heard at the end of August that production for the film was on hold as the search for a new director continued.
At the time, a small group of crew members who were prepping for pre-production in Atlanta were told by Disney and Marvel Studios they were free to work on other films and projects.
Feige also said Namor could make an appearance in the MCU, but they are still deciding if and when that could happen.
Feige talked to us in August about the complicated rights status that was circulating around the character – as what was last heard – is that Universal holds the distribution rights to Namor.
The rights cause the same issues as to why the Hulk cannot have a standalone movie. Last year, Ruffalo said we would never see him as the Hulk in his own film because Universal doesn't "know how to play well with Marvel."
Weber also tweeted the news that Lucasfilm President, Kathleen Kennedy, confirmed at the same event Thursday evening that the long-rumored Boba Fett standalone film is "100% dead," and is instead focusing all of its efforts on Jon Favreau's The Mandalorian.
IGN has reached out to Disney for additional comments and will update this story as such.

At NMMC, we measure our patients' success in more than just pounds.
Bariatric surgeons at North Mississippi Medical Center primarily perform laparoscopic vertical sleeve gastrectomy.
This surgery offers improved health and weight loss, and also helps the patient reach his/her weight loss goal as long as the proper diet and exercise regimen is followed. Other procedures offered at the Batiatric Center are Roux-en Y Gastric Bypass and Adjustable Gastric Band Surgery.
We require the patient to be over the age of 21, generally in good health, and meet the National Institute of Health (NIH) recommendations for bariatric surgery. The NIH recommends bariatric surgery for those individuals with a BMI greater than <IO or a BMI greater than 35 with obesity related co-morbidities and who are not successful in losing weight by other means.
Laparoscopic vertical sleeve gastrectomy promotes weight loss by restricting the amount of food that may be consumed without bypassing the stomach or part of the small intestine. The surgeon removes part of the stomach and forms a new stomach pouch. This procedure helps to reduce hunger by possibly eliminating some of the GI hormones responsible for the hunger pains. The stomach is reduced in volume but functions normally, so most food items can be eaten but only in smaller portions.
Vertical sleeve gastrectomy is a good option for people at higher risk for other bariatric procedures because of anemia, Crohn's disease or other conditions.
We consider weight loss of more than approximately 30-50 percent of pre-surgery weight a good result. For instance, a person weighing 300 pounds who loses 90 pounds would be considered to have a good weight loss result. We hope and expect approximately 85-90 percent of patients to achieve good to excellent results.
The average patient loses about 30-35 percent of the pre-surgery weight, but weight loss varies from person to person. A distinct majority of patients will reach a truly normal weight. Successful weight loss reduces or resolves high blood sugar levels in diabetic patients and decreases or eliminates elevated blood pressure in approximately 90 percent of hypertensive patients. But, results depend on each individual and are not guaranteed.
Your first step is to watch our Bariatric Educational Seminar, "Weight Loss Surgery Options 101," for a detailed description of the advantages, disadvantages and risks associated with weight loss surgery.
Get your copy for just $15 at the NMMC Bariatric Clinic or by calling 1-866-908-9465. Shipping is available for an additional $3.
Let us know your appreciation for the care you or a loved one received at NMHS.

Corporations make money by selling books and tests, while many more sell other things to children. The third way that schooling can be milked for profit is by letting corporations take over the management of the schools themselves, or even allowing them to own schools outright as they would a car dealership. Opportunities for such businesses have greatly expanded as a result of a movement simply to privatize education.

As a nutrition and dietetics student I developed an interest in the field of behavioral health nutrition. The idea that nutritional deficiencies or a variety of medical disorders could produce symptoms that mimicked psychiatric abnormalities [1] resonated with me early in my academic exploratations. The links between nutrition and mental health appeared to be a promising new area of investigation. In the past decade, research on the gut microbiome has documented compelling evidence that the bacteria flora in our intestines have a direct link to our brain and that these pathways are bidirectional [2]. As a registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN) working with patients with co-existing mental health conditions, I have observed an association between diet and depression. Practice experience has shown that dietary improvement can reduce some depressive symptoms [3]. Given that mental illness is a major public health problem, an emerging field known as nutritional psychiatry has received increased attention [4].
There are established links between depression and chronic diseases such as obesity [5], metabolic syndrome [6], and type 2 diabetes [7]. There are also associations between depressive symptoms and inflammatory bowel disease [8], as well as disordered eating [9]. Recent evidence suggests that altering the composition of the gut microbiome can lead to depressive-like behavior in animal models [10]. Because the human microbiome is highly influenced by foods that we eat, there may be an opportunity to improve depressive-like symptoms through dietary interventions. Randomized controlled human trials have shown that nutrition interventions can provide alternative or adjunct treatment for depression in common conditions such as obesity and type 2 diabetes [11]. The most common dietary recommendation is a Mediterranean-style diet with early trials showing a reduction in depressive symptoms [12,13]. Given the likelihood that nutrition can improve some depression-related symptoms, targeted dietary interventions should be considered a public health priority.

Q: ArcPy Cursor Where Clause to Delete Rows -- why is if statement needed? I am writing a function to delete rows based on a certain value. The first code block below doesn't work; the second code block does work. I don't understand why I have to add the "if" clause to get it to work. Isn't the point of having a where clause (my sql variable) to select only the fields and rows that meet that condition?
Doesn't work, curious why?
def delRows(shp_in, fieldname, Val):
    """
    Delete rows based on values in specific fields
    :shp_in:            input shapefile for which rows are to be deleted
    :fieldname:         fieldname for finding value to delete
    :Val:               trigger value for row deletion
    """
    import arcpy
    sql = "'" + fieldname + "' = " + "'" + str(Val) + "'"
    print sql
    with arcpy.da.UpdateCursor(shp_in, [fieldname], sql) as cursor:
        for row in cursor:
            cursor.deleteRow()

#
Does work
def delRows(shp_in, fieldname, Val):
    """
    Delete rows based on values in specific fields
    :shp_in:            input shapefile for which rows are to be deleted

        for row in cursor:
            if row[0] == Val:
                cursor.deleteRow()

#
Edit
Here's the print-out of the sql statement as coded in both of the above:
'Site' = '0'

#

A: the SQL query is likely wrong and all rows are returned, so the if check actually do the filtering.
In the SQL query, the field name should not be quoted.
Also if the value if numeric, it should also not be quoted. This doc gives more details.
sql = fieldname + " = " + str(delVal)

Dermaplaning, also known as epidermal leveling, exfoliates the epidermis to remove all or most of the fine vellus hair (peach fuzz) from the facial area. A trained Rhett Women's Center medical professional provides this treatment in a private spa room. Dermaplaning can only be received at a medical based facility by a certified medical professional.
Dermaplaning is quick, safe and has no down time. Using a scalpel and a delicate touch, the provider abrades the surface of the skin using light feathering strokes.
patients who have excess vellus hair on the skin. This hair often causes a buildup of dirt and oils in the follicles, so removing the hair gives the patient healthier looking skin.
pregnant or nursing women who want a deep exfoliation, but are not allowed to use peeling agents on their skin because of the risk that the chemicals will be absorbed into the blood stream.
Removing epidermal skin allows products to penetrate more readily into the deeper layers of the skin. This treatment is recommended to prepare the skin for medical procedures such as laser treatments or deep chemical peels. It also may be used to prepare the skin for superficial chemical peels or before a cleansing facial.
For patients with rough, dry skin, superficial hyperpigmentation, mild acne scarring, or fine lines and wrinkles, the Dermaplaning treatment results in a more refined, smooth, "glowing" appearance.
There is no downtime associated with this procedure. It is important to use sunscreen to reduce the chance of hyperpigmentation. Dermaplaning can be done as often as every two weeks, although it is usually done when vellus hair starts to grow back, which is generally in one month's time.

Two Navy warships transit Taiwan Strait
By Tara Copp and Carl Prine
The Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruiser Antietam pulls in to port at the Republic of Korea Navy base on Jeju Island on Oct. 12, 2018. (MC3 William Carlisle/Navy)
The U.S. sailed two guided-missile warships through the Strait of Taiwan Monday, in what Taipei's ministry of defense described as a routine passage through international waters.
Officials in Beijing have yet to comment on passage of the American destroyer and cruiser, but in the past the Chinese government has taken a hard line against Navy vessels transiting the waterway separating mainland China from Taiwan.
China claims Taiwan as part of its territory and has vowed to conquer it by force, if necessary.
"USS Curtis Wilbur [DDG 54] and USS Antietam [CG 54] conducted a routine Taiwan Strait transit on Oct 22, in accordance with international law. The ship transit through the Taiwan Strait demonstrates the U.S. commitment to a free and open Indo-Pacific. The U.S. Navy will continue to fly, sail and operate anywhere international law allows," said U.S. Pacific Fleet spokesman Cmdr. Nate Christensen in an email to Navy Times.
Part of the Ronald Reagan Carrier Strike Group, the Ticonderoga-class Antietam visited South Korea's Jeju Island last week, following its maneuvers with Royal Thai Navy vessels in the South China Sea.
Pentagon spokesman Army Col. Rob Manning said it "was certainly not the department's intent to raise tensions" on Monday, adding that were was "coordination and contact with the appropriate nations" for the transit.
He would not specify which nations were contacted.

Although lawful, the transit of American warships through the strait remains a significant statement in support of freedom of navigation for all nations, not only near Taiwan but in other contested areas of the western Pacific such as the South China Sea.
From July 7–8, the Japan-based destroyers Mustin and Benfold transited the Taiwan Strait, too.
However, the latest transit of the strait comes amid rising tensions between Taipei and Beijing.
Taiwan officials wasted no time in publicly posting the announcement that the American warships was sailing near the southern tip of the island, which broke apart from the mainland following the 1949 civil war.
The Navy research vessel Thomas G. Thompson arrived last Monday in the southern Taiwan port of Kaohsiung to refuel and swap out crew members, a visit China considered provocative.
On Wednesday, Beijing's Foreign Ministry spokesman Lu Kang said that China had expressed "our solemn concerns to the U.S. side" over the visit.
Why China turned down a Hong Kong port call for a US Navy ship
China on Tuesday demanded the U.S. cancel a $330 million sale of military equipment to Taiwan, warning of "severe damage" to bilateral relations and mutual cooperation if Washington fails to comply.
Beijing remains at loggerheads with Taiwanese president Tsai Ing-wen, who during an Oct. 10 National Day address warned China to stop being a "source of conflict" in the region.
Her words came a day after Taiwanese forces conducted war games on the northern part of the island.
China cut off contact with Tsai's government shortly after her 2016 inauguration and has turned up diplomatic, economic and military pressure to isolate Taiwan globally.
Monday's movement through the strait also came only three weeks after a Sept. 30 freedom of navigation operation in the South China Sea.
The crew of the destroyer Decatur reported that they were forced to dodge a Chinese Luyan-class warship when they sailed near Gaven Reef. The Chinese vessel came within 45 yards of the Decatur's bow before the American warship veered off to prevent a collision, officials said.
Although occupied by fortified Chinese troops, the twin reefs are claimed also by Vietnam, Taiwan and the Philippines.
US military posture in Asia could change if China declares another Air Defense Identification Zone
The U.S. military posture in Asia could be forced to change if China set up another Air Defense Identification Zone in the region, a senior national security official said this week.
In an op-ed published Monday in the Global Times, a tabloid aligned closely with the Chinese Communist Party, Chen Xiangmiao — a researcher at the National Institute for South China Sea Studies — defended Beijing's "needs to safeguard territorial sovereignty and maritime jurisdiction in the area and ensure secure corridors for energy import and freight transport" against the actions of "aggressive" U.S.
"Judging by the current circumstances, China has no other choice than taking countermeasures, including increasing military deployment in the region," he wrote.
U.S. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis was supposed to visit China earlier this month, but the trip was cancelled over Beijing's quibbles about these incidents and an escalating trade war spurred by American tariffs on Chinese goods.

The purpose of this study was to determine the quantity of organic acids present in silage. To be sure that the methods of analysis were correct, two different procedures were used: column and gas-liquid chromatographic analysis. To determine the actual quantities of the organic acids, 36 samples from various containers were used. The containers used were concrete silos, 55 gallon barrels, and also some samples were analyzed which were ensile din pint, quart, and one-half gallon jars. It was found that there is no real definite amount of organic acid produced in different silage fermentations.

The queen of England, Queen Elizabeth is currently under medical supervision due to health concerns.
The monarch who is 96, has not been hospitalized but remains at Balmoral Castle, her estate in the Scottish Highlands, Buckingham Palace said in a statement.
Kidnapped Plateau LG Chairman released
BREAKING: PDP BoT Chair steps down
Her health appeared to be deteriorating sharply on Thursday, with Buckingham Palace announcing that she had been placed under medical supervision and that her doctors were "concerned" about her health.
The queen, who has reigned for 70 years, has not been hospitalized and remains at Balmoral Castle, her estate in the Scottish Highlands, the palace said in a statement.
But on Wednesday evening, she abruptly cancelled a virtual meeting with members of her Privy Council after her doctors advised her to rest, New York Times reports.
"Following further evaluation this morning, the queen's doctors are concerned for Her Majesty's health and have recommended that she remain under medical supervision," the palace said in a statement.
Prince Charles, the heir to the throne, and his wife, Camilla, travelled to be with the queen in Balmoral Castle, his office said.
His eldest son, Prince William, who is second in line to the throne, was also on his way to Scotland, as were the queen's other sons, Andrew and Edward. Her daughter, Princess Anne, was already at Balmoral.
News of the queen's worsening condition interrupted a debate in Parliament, moments after the new prime minister, Liz Truss, announced a sweeping package to deal with an energy crisis.
An aide whispered in Ms Truss's ear, and she stood up, grave-faced, and left the House of Commons chamber shortly afterwards.
On Tuesday, the queen looked frail but alert in a meeting with Ms Truss, who travelled to Balmoral for an audience after being named leader of the Conservative Party.
By tradition, the queen invited Ms Truss to form a government, a step that formally transferred power from her predecessor, Boris Johnson.
Mr Johnson had submitted his resignation to the queen an hour earlier. Both meetings had been moved from Buckingham Palace to Balmoral to spare the queen a flight to London.
"The whole country will be deeply concerned by the news from Buckingham Palace this lunchtime," Ms Truss said in a Tweet on Thursday. "My thoughts — and the thoughts of people across our United Kingdom — are with Her Majesty, The Queen and her family at this time," she said.
The details of the queen's medical condition are not known, though the palace has said in the past that she suffers from problems with mobility. She recovered from a bout with Covid-19 in February but said later it had left her exhausted.
In a photo of her and Ms Truss released by the palace, the queen held a walking stick in her left hand.
The queen's declining health has been a recurring cause of concern for the last few years, forcing her to cancel many public appearances, even solemn events like her annual commemoration of Britain's wartime dead.
During the Platinum Jubilee in June, marking her 70 years on the throne, a smiling monarch appeared on the balcony of Buckingham Palace to watch a parade and a Royal Air Force flyover in her honour.
But she skipped most of the rest of the celebrations, including a gala concert held in Queen Victoria Square, in front of the palace.
As the queen has receded from public view, Charles, her heir, has taken on many of her public duties, including the state opening of Parliament and the conferring of knighthoods. She stopped travelling outside Britain several years ago.
In April 2021, the queen lost her husband of 73 years, Prince Philip, who died a few weeks before his 100th birthday. At Philip's memorial service, she sat, masked and alone, in a choir stall at St. George's Chapel in Windsor Castle, a poignant symbol of the pandemic's social distancing restrictions.

Somerset County Council's road safety team is urging everyone to keep the roads alcohol free during the World Cup.
Many people enjoy having a drink or two while watching the football, and with the World Cup kicking off this week this is something that will be happening across the nation.
The road safety team want everyone to enjoy themselves, but at the same time ensure the roads are kept as safe as possible by raising awareness of the dangers of drink-driving.
It's also important to remember that alcohol can linger in the blood stream for far longer than people may realise and it's possible to still be over the legal limit to drive the morning after a night out drinking.
Not only will you face those immediate penalties, but there can be life-affecting knock-on consequences.
Your car insurance could go up. Having a criminal record could make it more difficult to get any other kind of insurance.
Getting into trouble with the law could be seen as gross misconduct by your employer and you could lose your job.
Having a criminal record could make it very difficult for you to get another job.
Travelling to a country where you need a visa or a working permit can be very difficult with a criminal record.
Residents of the County should also be aware that Avon and Somerset Police's drink driving operation 'Operation Tonic' will be in force during the duration of the World Cup.


What happened to Ukraine? Nothing that might have come as a shock. Russia applied a classical strategy, yet we would hardly know whether the sticks dominated over the carrots, or the other way around.
To put it simply, this would be the question as to whether the Kremlin promised to ruin Ukraine's economy – provided the Verkhovna Rada should have decided to pass all the necessary pieces of legislation needed to send a message to the EU and to Germany in particular that Ukraine qualified for the club the Vilnius Summit would be much of a formality, or whether it pledged its old allegiances to Viktor Yanukovych reassuring him that he remains the only choice of Russia's political elite or, to be more precise, of its power structure - the siloviki or law enforcers.
Whatever the case, this slap in the face of the EU as well as this blow to all European friends of Ukraine dealt by the Parliament and President of the country would never have been possible had the EU been more flexible, proactive, aggressive, and realistic. The humiliation that Russia inflicted on the EU was preceded by zero judgment and zero policies with regard to Ukraine from Germany, France, Italy, and Spain, to name just a few major players of the club.
The fact remains that we in the EU did nothing. Our complacency and vanity merited the words of the French philosopher and writer Pascal Bruckner who described the EU as a vain and lazy political entity that lives in a fairy-tale refusing to confront the facts and to look reality in the eye. That Germany and France have no policy on Ukraine is too obvious to need emphasis. That the Eastern Partnership program was initiated primarily as a German compromise after the Russo-Georgian war is also quite evident.
That without the Baltic States (especially Lithuania with its presidency over the EU Council and passionate advocacy of the Association Agreement between the EU and Ukraine), Poland, and Sweden, the whole program would have been little more than sheer formality, is also a banal truth. The question arises then as to why on Earth the EU should have been so disappointed and shocked by Viktor Yanukovych's refusal to sign the Association Agreement?
No matter how strongly we feel against selective justice and corruption in Ukraine, the idea to make the entire Ukrainian nation a hostage of the Yanukovych-Tymoshenko war confining Germany to the decision of the Verkhovna Rada concerning the release of Yulia Tymoshenko from jail to undergo her medical treatment in Germany appears as a naughty joke or at best as a foolish political game with indifference of the public opinion in Germany with regard to Ukraine, merely simplifying the whole matter to a seemingly Manichean divide between good and evil, which itself is nothing but nonsense. Nobody is and nobody ever was an angel in this story of hostility, rivalry, and political vengeance.
That the EU overlooked and missed an historic opportunity to foster the real rapprochement with Ukraine straight after the Orange Revolution when Ukraine was more European in its faith and value orientation than any other European nation in the so-called Old Europe, is obvious to anyone. However, there is little wisdom in self-flagellation and bitter self-criticism when a concrete action is needed right away. What is to be done then? Here is comes – an old good (or cursed if you will) Russian question.
The EU must immediately warn Russia that no Eastern Partnership country is its property or zone of influence in the old sense of this concept. Russia must reject its geopolitical fantasies to restore the Soviet Union without the Baltic States (or with them in the EU as a fast lane to deal with EU funds and projects). Failing that, the EU must question the status of Russia as a member of the Council of Europe. Otherwise, the future of Ukraine, Georgia, Moldova, Armenia and other Eastern Partnership countries will always remain uncertain due to frozen conflicts, intimidation, blackmail, and other means with which Russia tends to torpedo any disobedient neighboring state.
At the same time, the EU has to apply different strategies and even vocabularies to Ukraine's political elite and civil society. Whereas the elite and the government need to be pressurized by the EU concerning their European commitments and obligations, Ukrainian civil society, intellectuals, writers, academic, and students should benefit at last from visa-free regime and exchange programs. Future leaders and interlocutors of Ukrainian politics have to spend as much time in Europe as they want and can.
We should apply a softer and wiser approach to Ukrainian society in terms of freedom of movement. No Ukrainian citizen should feel a poor cousin in EU countries. That's the only way we can overcome the internal divide of the country which is split into those who are craving for the EU, and those who are skeptical (and not without reason, to say the truth) about their chances to pass for fellow Europeans in the EU.
Up to now we have no Eastern European policies. The old German Ostpolitik was about the Kremlin, rather than Russians, Ukrainians, or any other nation that suffered under the duress of Soviet oppression. Germany is still emulating that same worn-out politics whose essence always was how to get as close to the Kremlin as once was Harold Wilson, Prime Minister of Great Britain.
Yet the time has come to reveal Ukraine, instead of trying to win the favor of the Kremlin.

Naomi Bunker is a realist sculptor, working in clay- the clay sculptures are then kiln fired or cast into bronze or high quality plaster.
She specializes in figurative work and finds her inspiration in the surrounding countryside. More recently she has been focusing on portrait sculpture. Her passionate approach to her work combined with her technical skills produces gentle, but subtly powerful sculptures which expresses the essence of the subject.
Born in 1966, London, UK and moved to Wales in 1978.
Studied sculpture at Carmarthen, Wales 1985-1989.
I have worked as an artist and figurative sculptor for over 20 years. I have had many of my sculptures cast into limited editions and others commissioned for private collections.
Recent training includes master-classes in portrait sculpture with Etienne Milner, Mark Richards and Suzie Zamit from the society of portrait sculptors. Also studied artistic anatomy through Ecorche, with Jason Arkles at the Welsh Academy of Art.

Meanwhile, the regular columns on workplace topics roll on like a dehumanising production line…
Being The Sharer Of Bad News: How much should you tell your boss about what's going on in your life beyond these walls?
Can You Be A Lifetime Learner?: Wherein I shamelessly pillage the things I learnt during my Dip. Ed. and blend them with itinerant dabbling in autodidacticism.
Do We Need Dress Codes?: Gleefully written in nothing more than a pair of pyjama shorts decorated with vintage cheesecake models.
Team-Building: Nonsense Vs Reality: One of my friends, Thorin, works in this space so I asked for his input in order to dilute my natural, Office-inspired scepticism of mandated corporate "fun".
What Happens When The Honeymoon Ends?: A meditation on the exact moment where a probation period ends and a stable career begins (or you're summarily dismissed and replaced with another, cheaper probation candidate).
Something In The Way: "Why did you resign?" "My boss wouldn't let me do my job." Apparently the most common interchange in the world of work…except for maybe, "Can I have a raise?" "We don't have the budget for that."
Politics At Work: A Bad Idea Or A Terrible One?: The most egregious case of me writing a do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do piece since 1999′s "Bingo Halls: A Den Of Iniquity" exposé.
Working At Writing About Work
November 27, 2013 Writingwork, workinglifeShane
After realising that the majority of my recent writing output was not going to be appropriate when applying for serious jobs working for serious managers in serious environments, I decided to get some non-jokey, non-NSFW columns under my belt. Here are the first two instalments of my work about work for Working Life.
When Should You Work For Free?: As timely a topic as ever, especially if you're a freelance writer. Most established creatives have a one-word answer to this question, but I'm being paid by the day, so…
Beating The Post-Redundancy Blues: It's something I wrote about at length in the immediate aftermath of my departure from People mag, but this is a more nuanced and serious look at the mental fallout that can accompany loss of job. Especially if your friends, support networks and identity largely derive from work.
Upcoming topics are "How Much Personal Information To Share At Work" and "Studying While Working Full-Time", so keep an eye out for them in the not-too-distant future, ie. next week.
November 9, 2013 Television, Writinggood game, scriptsShane
[Title shamelessly lifted from Ernest Cline's excellent novel]
Here's a partial list of things I wrote for ABC2′s Good Game. They're all for the "Backwards Compatible" segment, which takes a look back across the history of a given topic in videogames. On each page is a link to the video of the segment, so you can see how the final product looked. Exciting!
Heroines: The first thing I did for Good Game, written in my bedroom on a laptop with many tabs opened to many different pages. When I saw the finished product on television, I nodded coolly at the screen, satisfied with their interpretation. And didn't remotely squeal like a schoolgirl.
Boss Battles: This one came from me being in the actual office, once again playing the cool guy who high-fives everyone as he goes past and not gurgling with quiet happiness about being paid to write about videogames for actual television. A fun fact about this one was that I spent ages playing Mortal Kombat with an eye to capturing footage of me beating Shang Tsung. After innumerable deaths at the hands of Goro…I rewrote the script to reflect his badassery, which made it a lot better!
The Most Tasty Games: There's an anecdote from the set of the Ocean's 11 remake – Rusty eats in every scene because Brad Pitt was starving at the time he and director Steven Soderbergh were trying to come up with a visual hook for his character. Similarly, this subject matter sprouted from an ill-advised decision to skip breakfast that day.


As new technologies rapidly enter the business world, the demand for digital leadership and digital talent grows exponentially. But what does it take to thrive in the digital economy? What's required of companies, their leaders and employees, to successfully drive transformation and create a prosperous future? MARGINALIA spoke with Tim Hughes, CEO and co-founder of Digital Leadership Associates and author of the best selling book 'Social Selling - Techniques to Influence Buyers and Changemakers' to find some answers.
Businesses will not succeed in the digital era without skilled leadership and the right digital talent. Leaders and other employees who do not have the attributes to reimagine their company and work will trail behind those who embrace the opportunities of the digital era.
We know that businesses' ability to innovate is fundamental to the prosperity of our economy. Therefore it is vital that leaders and teams are confident and competent in the communication and delivery of the digital strategies that will support growth and create new business models for the future.
Digital is fast becoming a prerequisite for businesses to gain a competitive advantage. Beyond new capabilities, a modern digital business also supports endeavours to improve employee and customer experiences.
But true transformation is disruptive; the organisation must change, as much as tools and processes. Agility and speed may be required in the fast-paced market, yet major decisions must be made that impact the foundation of business.
How can businesses thrive through digital transformation? What tools and mindsets should they adopt? And, what does it actually mean to be a leader in a digital world?
MARGINALIA spoke with Tim Hughes, CEO and co-founder of Digital Leadership Associates, and author of 'Social Selling – Techniques to Influence Buyers and Changemakers'. In this interview, Tim describes the latest digital transformation trends, and points out the challenges and misunderstanding around using social tools for business. He shares advice to leaders at all levels on how to thrive in the digital future we're building, reminding us that "every day is a school day".
Gloria Lombardi: What trends do you see around digital transformation, considering your ongoing work with leaders?
Tim Hughes: The implementation of digital requires organisations to change. Quite often, people see digital as being some sort of IT or computer-led project rather than seeing it as a change to the people, the processes, and the IT systems.
It may seem easy to add in some social tools, perhaps to the lead generation process, but nothing will come of social if you don't involve, train, and show people how to use the tools, and how to listen, share, and engage across social. Expecting people to just adopt new ways of working just because you provide new tools is folly.
Many leaders still expect digital to be a kind of magic; a few buzz-word incantations and change 'happens' at a wave of a wand. We see companies fail when their tactic is to just deploy tools and tell people 'we're sharing content now'.
GL: How can leaders bring people along on the digital journey, and avoid those problems?
TH: There are three elements, which are core to any digital transformation programme: the people, the process, and the technology.
Quite often, certainly in the IT world, digital transformation is seen as an excuse to replace old legacy systems: the organisation will replace old tools with something new that probably costs less, and looks better; and it might have more of a 'Facebook look and feel' rather than the user interface of an old mainframe system of 30 years ago. And that's fine. But, in effect, the business is just lifting and shifting – taking one piece of IT out and putting another in, which may not change anything.
Whereas the organisation should be looking at boosting efficiencies and achieving better ways of working. Many businesses overlook the ultimate objectives when they approach digital transformation.
Everyone needs a clear understanding of the fundamental differences between the words 'digital' and 'social'. Being digital is not the same as being social. At Digital Leadership Associates, we refer to digital more as the hardware. For example, the cloud, mobile, big data, analytics, Internet of Things (IoT), sensors, user interfaces, software as a service (SaaS), wearables, etc.
Whereas social is more about culture and collaboration, co-creation and communication, conversation, engagement, etc.
GL: What are the broad digital transformation trends for 2018?
TH: At Digital Leadership Associates, we see the use of social networks inside organisations as being critical. Not just in terms of using external social channels such as Twitter, Facebook, or LinkedIn. But using social collaboration tools internally, to run the organisation. For example, we don't use email internally unless we 'have to'. All our internal communications take place on Slack, the so called 'WhatsApp for the enterprise'.
With those real-time, chat business tools, people use everyday language and so conversations can be informal and straight to the point. This openness and informality allows for greater efficiency as people are freed from the need for lengthy, overly formal message crafting that is typical of email.
We run the entire business on social channels. Even externally, my contacts interact with me mainly through social channels. The people who still try to reach me via email often want to sell me something or spam me.
So email traffic is dropping off quite significantly. And, with the implementation of the GDPR rules and regulations in Europe in May 2018, I'm sure we'll see email use decline even more.
In terms of emerging technologies, we are seeing voice search taking off. Take, for example, Amazon Alexa. Recent studies indicate that voice search represents 24 per cent of all search worldwide. And, unquestionably, within 5 to 10 years we won't have keyboards; we will be talking to and with our screens.
GL: Are leaders approaching digital transformation enthusiastically and with confidence? Or do they have concerns and fears arounds the future of their business?
TH: Many business leaders have concerns around digital transformation. Part of that is because change just seems to be accelerating. It's a job in itself just to keep on top of it.
In my lifetime, we've gone from consuming vinyl records to cassettes. Only ten years ago, everybody was downloading. Today, we're streaming music. So, we've moved from buying 'physical' music to streaming music within only a few years. There are plenty of other areas, in society and in the commercial work, where that type of change is happening ever faster.
When social media kicked off around ten years ago, there was a clamour to get on social. Businesses would grab their handles and design their profiles. But many didn't know why the needed social, or what they meant to achieve with it. Projects failed. Profiles became inactive. Leadership saw no value, no return, on even enthusiastic efforts. Being on social just because everyone was apparently 'doing' social was a bubble.
In 2018, we're seeing a similar type of approach towards artificial intelligence and augmented reality. Companies have started developing new projects without really thinking about why they should be doing it in the first place. We're seeing random acts of artificial intelligence taking place rather than business leaders actually thinking about how they, as a business, want to thrive in the future and exploit the opportunities brought by emerging tech. The board, the C-level people, must decide the AI strategy, must set the direction. They have to understand how AI is going to help the company achieve its objectives, and how to communicate the strategy across the organisation.
GL: As you pointed out, social channels took off over ten years ago. Yet, as you mentioned, many leaders and organisations still struggle to use social tools effectively for business. Why is that?
TH: Social media tools are still generally misunderstood. Even though we, as buyers and consumers, may use them daily to interact with brands.
So, everyone appears to 'get' social, yet once people are at their desk they forget all about it, as if it's a separate activity from their 'real work'. They go back what they've always done – back to what they were doing twenty years ago – putting out stuff.
People seem to be well behind the change curve. I recently listened to Gary Vaynerchuk's book launch speech. You might say it was cutting edge, filled with important ideas. It was a real 'leadership presentation'.
It was for his 'Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook' book, back in 2013. The title refers to the idea that if you know a punch is coming, you duck. It's the same in marketing, he says; everyone is going to say how great their products are. Whenever a product or sales person comes to you, you expect a pitch. So you duck – you tune out a lot of what they say.
The answer to this broken process is to build relationships with people – and you need to give before you can expect to get.
These ideas are still being espoused now, five years later. These ideas still sound fresh and necessary, as so many people are still marketing and selling as they did ten or twenty years ago, push, push, push. It all becomes noise. As consumers, we want to be educated (and entertained), we want to know what's relevant to us, and we want good people in our life who incite us and maybe even make us laugh. We're looking for people to offer us something before they expect something from us.
GL: How does this lesson translate internally, with employees?
TH: There's a fantastic opportunity to externalise and showcase the company culture and all the good things that employees do.
I recently worked with a company that does waste management in the UK. A number of sales employees were saying, 'We are the best in the world'. One particular sales guy was in fact extremely good in dealing with hygiene waste, like from hospitals; syringes and material that poses a health risk. He knew everything about it. My question to him was: 'Why not externalise that? Why not show your expertise and specialist work on social? Other hospitals, health centres, even veterinarians, looking for such services will be better able to find you. Not to mention being able to help your colleagues with queries'.
This philosophy of sharing our own expertise on social channels is the same regardless of the job we are doing and the company we are working for. Sharing makes the intangible, visible, makes our talent, experience and knowledge available. Making your expertise available to others is a thousand times better than just saying you're an expert.
GL: What advice would you give leaders and employees to thrive – not just survive – in the future?
TH: As the common phase says, 'every day is a school day'. Business leaders and their teams must be willing to learn something new every day. Engaged teams should always be looking for new, relevant knowledge and information, and make the time to do so.
People must effectively use their time to keep themselves abreast of what's going on in the world, which can impact their business. So, keep reading. Keep experimenting, even at home with tools such as Amazon Alexa, for example. Reflect on voice as an interface and how AI is involved. Because if you don't, you are going to fall behind in terms of using emerging technologies. So, keep ahead of what's going on.
We are living in an amazing time and, while the challenges are undoubtedly many, business leaders and employees have lots of opportunities to shine.

Kiel rolls past Roncalli MANITOWOC — Kiel entered Friday's matchup with host Roncalli the services of star halfback Tyler Kienbaum would not be available. Check out this story on sheboyganpress.com: http://shebpr.es/2d5C3SY
Wisconsin Published 10:47 p.m. CT Sept. 23, 2016

Kienbaum missed the Eastern Wisconsin matchup with a shoulder injury but the Raiders' offense didn't miss a beat behind the stellar performance of quarterback Max Feldmann.
Feldmann threw three touchdown passes to receiver Dayne Friday while also scoring a pair with his legs to guide Kiel to a 42-6 victory over the Jets.
"Our quarterback did a nice job," Kiel coach Mike Dressler said of Feldmann's performance. "Because they're in a cover-0 concept it's basically mono-a-mono so you have to look where you want to go with the football."
Feldmann finished the game 11-for-24 for 209 yards while picking up 50 yards on six carries.
Friday was explosive at wideout, hauling in six passes for 166 yards and the three scores.
The rushing attack was led by Michael Endries, who garnered 83 yards and a touchdown on 21 carries.
"We knew that we wouldn't have Tyler but we have a great deal of confidence in Mike Endries who did a nice job for us tonight," Dressler said.
Despite the loss of Kienbaum, wasted wasted little time getting on the scoreboard.
In their second drive, Feldmann scored on a four-yard keeper to give the Raiders a 7-0 lead with 6:24 left in the first quarter.
Kiel kept at it on its next drive, taking the ball deep into Roncalli territory as the first quarter came to a close.
On the very first play of the new quarter, Feldmann found Friday for a seven-yard touchdown and a 14-0 lead.
Roncalli found an answer, with Jets quarterback Cory Bahrs finding Colton Swetlik for a 14-yard touchdown with 8:03 left in the first half.
Bahrs left the game with an injury with just under two minutes to go in the second quarter.
Swetlik thought scoring the lone touchdown was good but he was more concerned with the players his team lost.
"That was a bit of sunlight in the storm," Swetlik said. "But I don't think it matters compared to all our brothers who went down."
Roncalli coach Scott Senglaub confirmed Bahrs would miss the rest of the season with a lower body injury.
The second quarter ended with Kiel in command as Feldmann hit Friday for a 58-yard touchdown with just over a minute left in the half.
Attrition was starting to get to Roncalli to close the half, as the Jets lost three starters due to injury.
Kiel would take a 21-6 lead into halftime.
The Raiders didn't miss Kienbaum as much as could have due to the stellar play of Feldmann in the first half. The quarterback was 7-of-15 for 170 yards including bombs of 29, 40 and 58 to Friday.
"My guys did the work and I just had to do a little part," Feldmann said. "It's next man up here at Kiel."
It was all part of the gameplan Dressler said.
"We talked about it all week long," Dressler said. "One play a time. If something doesn't go your way, learn from it and become better for the next play."
Roncalli meanwhile would complete just the touchdown pass from Bahrs to Swetlik for their only completion on two attempts.
In total, Kiel outgained Roncalli 222-67 in the first half.
"It was a tough battle for us," Senglaub said. "We had a lot of injuries and adversity. Things didn't go our way."
The third quarter started slow until Kiel's Austin Goehring blocked a Roncalli punt with 6:47 left in the quarter at the Jets' 36.
Feldmann used his legs on the ensuing drive, picking up 21 yards on first down before scoring from four yards out to pick up his second rushing touchdown of the evening.
With 5:25 left in the third quarter Kiel led 28-6.
The quarterback continued his connection with Friday, hitting his receiver for a 20-yard touchdown later in the quarter for a 35-6 advantage.
Kiel wasn't done scoring though, as Endries rumbled in from 15 yards out to give the Raiders a 42-6 lead with 6:13 left in the quarter and start a running clock.
Roncalli's third-string quarterback, Matt LeVene, finished the contest 5-of-6 for 41 yards in place of the injured Bahrs.
Senglaub was pleased how LeVene handled the pressure.
"Matt did a great job," Senglaub said. "I was really impressed with his composure. Very proud of Matt, we asked him to run the offense and that's what he did."
Roncalli though, hurt by injuries to a trio of two-way starters in addition to Bahrs were outgained 391-156 for the game.
"We gotta keep going," Senglaub said. "I have a lot of faith in the kids coming up and we have to keep working with those guys."

De Pere 50, Sheboygan North 20: The Golden Raiders scored once in the second quarter and added two more scores in the third quarter, but couldn't keep up with De Pere, which out-gained Sheboygan North 518-218 in total offense.

Supreme Court Dismisses Suit Against Disqualification Of Nnamani
By Adedayo Babatunde - 5 months ago on July 29, 2019
Court Gravel Source: The Nation
The Supreme Court on Monday dismissed the suit filed by Sen. Gilbert Nnaji, seeking the disqualification of Former Governor of Enugu State, Chimaroke Nnamani as Senator representing Enugu East Senatorial District.
Concise News gathered that Justice Mary Odili, in a lead judgment, held that the case was statute-barred and therefore dismissed the motion on notice brought by Nnaji.
"This appeal is hereby dismissed having been withdrawn by the counsel to the appellant without any objection and there shall be no order as to costs."
The Appeal Court dismissed his case for lacking in merit.
Concise News recalls that News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the Court of Appeal, Enugu Division in June dismissed an appeal challenging the clearance of Chimaroke to contest the Enugu East Senatorial District primaries by the PDP.
Nnaji had in October 2018 approached an Abuja Federal High Court, asking that his name be submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, as the PDP candidate for the Senatorial District.
He went to court, claiming that Nnamani was not present during the PDP screening of candidates and as such was not qualified to stand for the primary elections.
He further claimed that having come second in the election, he was the rightful candidate.
The case was later transferred to Enugu on the orders of the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court.
Nnamani's Counsel, in his defense, among other things, told the court that the suit was statute-barred.
He argued that the course of action should have arisen after the PDP screening which the plaintiff (Nnaji) claimed Senator Nnamani did not attend.

Transformer (tra) is a family of genes which regulate sex determination in insects such as flies. Among its effects, it () regulates differences between males and females in Drosophila fruit flies.

The tra-2 gene () is needed for sexual differentiation in female fruit flies, and for spermatogenesis in the males. It is not in the same protein family as tra, but instead works together with it in the splicing enhancer complex.

ABBOTTS $715 MILLION GP TAX HIT ON FAMILIES
Medicare analysis released today show Tony Abbott's new GP Tax will hurt families right across the country, with communities forking out millions of dollars every year for visits to their local doctor.
Based on recent Medicare figures, families in some communities could be slugged with more than $8 million every year in new doctors' fees.
Families in Western Sydney will be worst hit, with 10 Western Sydney electorates facing tax hikes of more than $6 million a year if the Prime Minister presses ahead with his GP Tax.
In the electorate of Chifley, where nearly 99 per cent of GP services are bulk billed, the GP Tax will take $8.2 million dollars out of the pockets of local families every year.
In the Victorian electorate of Lalor, families will be slugged with $7.5 million in new doctors' fees each year.
In the Queensland electorate of Rankin, the GP Tax will cost local families $6.2 million a year.
Make no mistake, the Prime Minister's GP Tax will hit families who can afford it the least.
Labor believes that all Australians should get the healthcare they need – not just the healthcare Tony Abbott says they can afford.
The Prime Minister's new GP Tax will mean more parents will be out of pocket when they take their sick kids to the doctor, or families just won't get the care they need.
Tony Abbott said before the election he wouldn't bring in any new taxes. His new GP tax is a broken promise to millions of families that they won't forget.
Every time parents take their kids to the doctor, every time they reach into their pocket to pay the Prime Minister's GP Tax, they will remember this broken promise.
Labor will continue to fight any attempt by this government to dismantle universal healthcare in Australia.
