The miserable year of 2020 has now officially slipped into history, but it wasn't going to just go quietly without putting up a desperate struggle. On January 6th, tens (and perhaps hundreds) of thousands of supporters of Present Donald Trump assembled on the Ellipse in Washington DC in protest over the results of the November 2020 election. At the other end of the Mall inside the U.S.Capitol, the House of Representatives and the Senate were in the process of debating and formally certifying the Electoral College results of the presidential race.
Before the president's speech to his supporters ended, a large mob of people broke off, made their way to the Capitol, and stormed into the building. The unprecedented rampage that ensued (and covered in real time on television and the Internet) left five people dead, including a Capitol police officer who was struck in the head with a fire extinguisher, and one of the protesters, a 35-year old female Air Force veteran who was shot by an officer. Three others died from apparent medical emergencies. Members of Congress were hustled to an undisclosed 'secure location' as tear gas was used against the mob.
As with most riots and mass rampages, an adolescent glee for breaking things and invading symbolic seats of authority figures for the sake of selfies and high-fives from fellow mob members fanned the flames of frenzy. Knocking down symbols of power for the sheer fun of it is a common hallmark of massive mob protests, and this one was no exception. As more details became available, some of the participants posing for the cameras and egging on the crowd turned out to be known anarchic provocateurs seen at other riots and violent protests from earlier in the year. But the majority of the crowd that slowly moved into the rotunda and then on to the House and Senate chambers seemed more like several hundred dogs who had suddenly caught the UPS truck they had been chasing without a clue of what to do with it now.
It was not America's finest hour, and it's almost impossible to know how history will regard this event and the last year after all the dust clears and time softens the heated passions of the moment.
In the wake of this shocking (but probably inevitable) event, social media erupted as millions took sides over what was unfolding. The toxic political atmosphere of the last four years had finally taken its toll, as 50% of the country declared that the other 50% were their mortal enemy, and vice versa. And since the Internet, Twitter and Facebook have become the 21st century battlefields, there were Masons to be found on both sides of the political divide acting less than Masonically to each other.
R. David Walker, Jr., Grand Master
Grand Lodge AF&AM of North Carolina
On Friday, January 8th, MW R. David Walker, Jr., Grand Master of the Grand Lodge AF&AM of North Carolina, issued a statement to the Brethren in his jurisdiction concerning Wednesday's events. The statement was circulated on the North Carolina grand lodge website and Facebook pages (click image to enlarge).
(To answer a question posed by many over the last few days, North Carolina also weighed in last summer with a joint statement with the MW Prince Hall GL of NC concerning the riots following the death of George Floyd. See it HERE.)
The condemnation of a mob attack on the very center of American democracy should scarcely be a controversial message. But almost as soon as the statement was publicly posted, an avalanche of positive and negative online reactions ensued. The message was greeted in several Masonic Facebook groups with appalling accusations, insults and reactions between Brethren, so much so that moderators shut down many of the discussions completely or removed entire conversations. The political vitriol that has become so commonplace in the profane world was on full display throughout the virtual Masonic community as well.
The result is that I have now seen scores of Masons announce their intention to leave the fraternity, or at least reconsider their membership over it. Worse, the public can easily find these toxic exchanges, which only serves to smear Freemasonry as an institution that doesn't practice what it preaches.
It has been a cornerstone of Freemasonry since its official beginnings to prohibit the discussion of religion and politics within the confines of our tiled meetings because of the potential for heated divisions among our members. The online battles that have raged over the North Carolina statement are a clear demonstration of why that rule is necessary. Since the various riots and demonstrations around the country that began in summer of 2020, there have been no instances of Freemasons actually engaging in or organizing them AS MASONS. It's arguable that grand lodges issuing messages of support, solidarity or condemnation of political demonstrations and social uprisings have as much effect as Starbucks Coffee, Macy's, or the My Pillow company weighing in on political positions: regardless of the stance taken, the practical result is to needlessly conflict with a substantial proportion of existing customers (or members, in our case).
Grand lodges all over the country have been wrestling with adopting online social media rules of conduct over the last few years. Some have been minimal, common sense recommendations, but others have been needlessly detailed, draconian and picayune. The breakdown of social norms and the loss of what used to be called the 'civic virtues' that the Founders recognized as being the only way a democratic republic could endure have helped bring us to this gloomy moment in time. Historically, Freemasonry was deliberately encouraged to expand across America after our Revolution specifically to teach a rough, disparate and illiterate public how to get along with each other - to disagree without being disagreeable, and to unite men for the common good "among whom no contention should ever exist but that noble contention, or rather emulation, of who best can work, and best agree." Religion, politics, social and economic status, level of education - none of these were supposed to matter in the sanctuary of the lodge room or between Brethren in daily life, and those frontier Masons learned to sit side by side with men diametrically opposed to their own opinions.
It's probably irrational to believe that Freemasonry as a philosophy can successfully calm and subdue the passions of all of her members during this time of upheaval and 24-hour rage-making stoked by opportunistic activists, basement revolutionaries, keyboard warriors, politicians and media figures. Enforced isolation from the COVID shutdowns has prevented us from meeting face to face, Brother to Brother, for nine months now. But it certainly has no possible hope of succeeding with Masons who would rather quit than learn to coexist with their Brethren over politics. The COVID aftermath will certainly exact a dramatic toll on the fraternity from Masons who decide to drop their membership out of ennui caused by the shutdowns. Let's all hope that political strife and disagreements between Masons over transitory elections don't do even worse.

I do not understand why the statement from the North Carolina Grand Lodge is so controversial. When people build their ideologies around hate, how could they be Freemasons? How could they belong to an international brotherhood when they have millions of brothers they hate?
How could a klansman accept an African as his brother?
How could a nazi accept a Jew as his brother?
How could a proud boy accept a Muslim, Hindu, or Buddhist as his brother?
How could a member of the QAnon cult even be a Freemason? The cult is just a modern resurrection of old conspiracies revolving around Jews and Freemasons.
We all meet on the level, but that requires meeting without hatred in our hearts. All brothers are equal regardless of race or religion, and if someone cannot accept that, then is the person really a Mason?
Raconteur January 11, 2021 8:37 PM
You answer your own question in your first three words.
It's true that a mason couldn't be those things and be a mason. That's the first clue that you're starting with false assumptions.
You're assuming these people are Nazis and klansmen. You're assuming things about Proud Boys or Q people and that's creating cognitive dissonance. That will continue until you subdue your passions, be silent and circumspect, and try to listen to those with whom you disagree with the goals of understanding what they really want, why they want it, and what you have in common with them.
That is the only thing that will heal this divide. Isolating people will only end in further divide and radicalization.
Marv January 11, 2021 9:49 PM
Thats the problem right now.. what some see as hate and anger others see as a fundiment attack on what it is to be American. Personally I think both sides of the isle are acting like children and are leading by poor example. The Grand Lodge of any state should recognize that their membership is deverse with diverse feelings and should have not weighed in. Instead called for unity and for us to be examples to our community.
Michael R. January 12, 2021 2:01 AM
I have listened to the Proud Boys and the QAnon crowd. I know what they believe. I know what they stand for and what they want to do. This is 2021, and people need to stop pretending that they are (harmless alternative opinions). They are domestic terrorists. They want to kill me. "Healing the divide" won't come with coddling them, because coddling racists in the past led to the Blue Lodge-Prince Hall separation and the utter failure of Reconstruction. "Healing the divide" requires breaking them up as their klan predecessors experienced, and arresting them for their crimes.
If you listened to the Proud Boys then you've got to tell me what they've said to you that makes you think they want to kill you. Because I have never once heard that kind of thing from them. Ever. And I've been paying attention to their exploits, good and bad, since 2016.

This letter is just another reason why I demitted last week... This hypocrite who wrote this letter never said a word when BLM. ANTIFA & the Communist Democrats burned, looted cities & towns... Murdered Police, destroyed George Washington Statutes and other Masonic Historic Landmarks.... SMFH..

it's actually dimit not demit
I work with a lot of Masonic jurisdictions and both spellings are commonly used. It all depends on what GL the GL is descended from.
Christopher Hodapp January 14, 2021 3:21 PM
Both spellings are used in the U.S. 'Demit' seems to be most common, but plenty of jurisdictions use 'dimit' instead.
What should have been said to keep controversy down was something like are country is in turmoil please pray for and remember our obligation brethren may God be with you all. IM Not taking sides at all but anything you say anymore is taking out of context so you have to say it where it can be looked at on both sides as positive and no im not talking about taking sides with racism it has nothing to do with that but nothing was said about kenosha burning down the chaz or chop for 1 month in Seattle the summer long riots in Portland or 5 year old boy that got killed in our home state Not one word. My opinion is say nothing about anything but now its got started already. And it will consume the fraternity like wildfire.
I believe that, as was briefly mentioned in the blog post, it was ultimately unnecessary to even issue the opinion/condemnation as it did nothing other than alienate several members.
I was taught that the best way to keep things from getting out of pocket is to keep them in pocket. The GM shouldn't have issued an opinion on something that happened outside of his grand jurisdiction for any reason.
Regardless of the politically correct intent of the GM, the actual result was not what the means was meant to foster.
Politics and sectarian religion should be left out of Masonry both in a typed lodge and elsewhere so as to not alienate ANY Brother, assenting or dissenting to someone's personal opinion. Having a titular position makes your opinion no more deserving of being forcefully shared than someone who doesn't hold that title.

I thoroughly enjoyed your blog, my brother! Safe travels!
Burx Norrod January 11, 2021 8:15 PM
@Michael R. ... this statement from the GL of NC is controversial because the silence of the violence & chaos from 2020 appears to be deafening. Grand Lodges are now speaking out against what happened at the Capitol this year - but not what happened at the Capitol during Kavanaugh's time (for example). As a result - while this statement makes many who are the Left happy, it inflames others as it comes across political due to lack of similar statements with regards to the actions of BLM / Antifa. I hope this answers your question. The entire article from WB Chris Hodapp speaks to this, I think the reason for the post. I've not been to a Lodge meeting in some time due to Lodges being Dark due to COVID .. I can only imagine the contention this would be should it come up in a Stated Meeting. Maybe it's a good thing Lodges are Dark for the time being ... gives many a chance to cool down a bit - else we all go back to learning how to Subdue our Passions.
Bro. Paul Rich January 12, 2021 4:59 AM
Quite apart from the five people killed during the capitol riot, we have a long term change, which is that lodges will lost a large member of the remaining membership. Age plus the lack of resources to bring to health standards the lodge rooms, dining rooms, elevator, bath rooms...
de Flup January 12, 2021 10:37 AM
By defending political standpoints regular US Grand Lodges do exactly what they reproach Grand Orient-style freemasonry: both approaches grow closer! I wonder how UGLE addresses this phenomenon...
Unknown January 15, 2021 12:08 AM
My concern - as a member of the Craft - is that we are allowing such divisiveness into our hearts. While this particular letter calls out the extremists on one side, it should be understood that extremism of any stripe is unacceptable within the fraternity, be it right-wing or left-wing, or any other type of extremism that may exist in the world.
There is a reason that politics and religion are not permitted in the lodge. We should be considering the whole world to be an extension of our lodge, after all aren't we trying to build a better world overall?

Blu-ray, DVD Release: Alfred Hitchcock's Murder & Blackmail
– August 13, 2019Find Others: Blu-ray, DVD, Movie, New Release, NewsGet More: Alfred Hitchcock, Kino, Thriller
Blu-ray & DVD Release Date: Aug. 13, 2019
Price: DVD $13.29 each, Blu-ray $19.89 each
Studio: Kino Lorber
From the Master of Suspense, Alfred Hitchcock, the legendary director of Notorious, Psycho, Rebecca, To Catch a Thief and The Birds, comes a pair of his earlier, formative films.
Alfred Hitchcock's Blackmail (1929)
First off is 1929's Blackmail, Hitchock's first full-length sound film and was only his second foray into the suspense genre. In the film, grocer's daughter Alice White (Anny Ondra) kills a man in self-defense when he tries to sexually assault her. Her policeman boyfriend, Detective Frank Webber (John Longden), covers up for her, but she has been spotted leaving the scene by a petty criminal who starts to blackmail her. Based on a play by Charles Bennett (Foreign Correspondent, The 39 Steps) Kino Lorber's special edition also includes the 76-minute silent version of the film, with a new score by The Mont Alto Motion Picture Orchestra.
Next up is Hitchcock's third sound film, the subtly titled Murder, adapted by Hitchcock and Walter Mycroft (Champagne) from the play Enter Sir John by Clemence Dane (A Bill of Divorcement) and Helen Simpson (Sabotage). In this one, actress Diana Baring (Norah Baring) is convicted of the murder of another actress in the same touring company. But the distinguished actor Sir John Menier (Herbert Marshall), who served on the jury at her trial, becomes convinced of her innocence and decides to solve the case. Shot by Jack E. Cox (The Lady Vanishes), Kino Lorber's special edition also includes Mary, the 1931 German version of the film, directed by Hitchcock and starring Alfred Abel as Sir John Menier and Olga Tschechowa as Mary Baring.
There are a slew of bonus features on the Blu-ray and DVD editions of the films, including audio commentaries, Hitchcock/Truffaut interview icon clips, introductions by French writer/actor Noël Simsolo, Blackmail actress Anny Ondra's screen test, an alternate ending for Murder, and more.

Women's Football: How realistic is the five-year plan?
Team GB's victory over Brazil at London 2012 has a sparked a real enthusiasm for women's football Photo: damianjohnkerr @Flickr
Written on 5th November 2012 . Posted in Sport
Following the success of women's football in the Olympic games, the FA have recently announced a five-year plan named the 'Game Changer', in an attempt to spread the coverage of the women's game in England.
The plan focuses around four main areas: the creation of an elite performance unit and the appointment of a head of elite development for development of youth, delivering a new commercial strategy for women's football including further broadcast strategy, expanding the FA Women's Super League by introducing second division in 2014 to enable promotion and relegation and finally to improve participation and extend the existing fan base.
The plan seems to be formulated on the back of the pride of the Olympic games that saw 70,584 fans turn out at Wembley to see Team GB defeat Brazil. David Burnstein believes that 'women's football is the area with the most potential for growth in the nations favorite game.' With manager of the year nominee Hope Powell leading the charge, the plan seems to be grounded on solid evidence.
However, this seems a grand proposal that comes off the back of a very uncertain start for the Women's Super League. The league was formulated following the cancellation of the Women's Professional Soccer League, the first professional women's league based in the United States. That league failed because of the lack of financial backing, and that seemed to be a problem for the new WSL even before the league began, with sponsors Yorkshire Building Society and Continental Tyres being announced days before the league started last season. This season only Continental Tyres remain as sponsors.
This not only puts this seasons financial state in doubt, but also undermines the idea of developing a commercial and broadcasting strategy that is specifically trying to gain a separate identity from the men's game.
Considering the men's Premier League received £3bn pounds for their latest television rights, it seems odd that Burnstein is distancing himself from this money which will be used not only to pay for 'parachute' payments for relegated clubs, for example, but also to help fund projects in grassroots football. In the place of the Sky/BT deal the WSL is currently supported by ESPN, a company who is under particular questions about it's viability in the UK after losing out to B.T on a Premier League package, who are showing a mere 10 live matches the 2012/13 season as well as highlights, hardly enough to create 'strong commercial partnerships to elevate the profile of the women's game,' an aim which is outlined in the Game Changer's mission statement.
The competitive nature of the WSL is also something that Burnstein is looking to address. Arsenal Ladies, Birmingham and Everton have finished in the top three places respectively for the past two seasons, with Arsenal only losing twice in those two seasons. An introduction of more teams to create a second division, and perhaps a real sense of competitiveness is the only real point that carries any sort of weight. However, whereas clubs such as Manchester City seem keen to heighten the reputation of their women's team, others such as Manchester United have not.
There is also a similar sense of realization regarding England's coaching strategy. The well documented figure that there are only 2,768 English coaches with UEFA A and B pro badges compared to the 23,996 Spanish, 29,420 Italian and 34,790 German coaches applies to the women's game as well. This prompted the recent creation of St. George's Park, a state of the art facility in which the England teams train along with qualified coaches. In this sense, the ambitions of both the men and women's team are similar- a longing for success in our national sport.
The last ambition of this four-fold plan is to make women's football the second most played sport in England, behind men's football by 2018. This final statement of the FA is the perhaps the most crucial outcome of the first three stages of the plan. However, they are a long way off reaching this goal. Despite the high attendances of the Olympics as well as the high viewing figures the BBC receive whenever a women's match is televised, the average attendance for a WSL match is only 500 people – the attendance of some Northern League men's matches.
The whole strategy may pay off in the long term and I fully believe that women's football deserves far more coverage than it currently receives; however, it seems to be fully based on the idea that the same nationalistic fervor for the Olympic games will carry on into the future. The FA should confirm a 2016 Olympic women's squad, highlighting it as the pinnacle of the women's game, rather that trying to create a seemingly quick fix solution to the growing schism between the men's and women's game.

#44 – Enforcement for Bicycle Safety
Peter Flucke, President, WE BIKE
The enforcement of laws, both for bicyclists and motorists, is critical to improving bicycle safety and enjoyment. Very little effective enforcement typically occurs, however, in U.S. cities and towns. Wisconsin's Enforcement for Bicycle Safety (EBS) course was designed to help law enforcement agencies and officers correct this situation.
Police officers are the only ones who can enforce laws, yet most officers never receive any bicycle-specific training. Bicycle issues generally are not a police priority. The public and many officers assume that since officers are trained in traffic enforcement, this training includes bicycle safety. Police officers tend not to enforce laws that they do not know or cannot justify enforcing.
In Wisconsin, police recruits receive 400 hours (and soon 520) of basic standards training, of which 10 hours cover traffic law. Laws related to bicycling could be covered during this basic training, but they normally aer not discussed. Following recruit school, newly hired officers go through 10+ weeks of field training. This is another bicycle training opportunity, but it is seldom used. All police officers are required to take 24 hours of continuing education each year. This presents a third opportunity for bicycle safety training, but until the creation of EBS in 1995, there was no such training available (this absence of training tends to be true nationwide). Therefore, most police officers have never been taught the leading causes of bicycle crashes, the laws specific to bicycle safety, and how selective enforcement can improve bicycle safety. Without this information, police officers are unlikely to contribute significantly to bicycle safety and enjoyment in their communities.
Enforcement for bicycle safety is part of police culture in only a few communities. EBS is changing the belief of both officers and the public that "Bicycle violations are trivial." Bicycle safety should be a recognized part of every officer's job. In 2001, 728 bicyclists were killed and 45,000 were injured in reported crashes with motor vehicles in the United States (U.S. DOT, 2002).
Law enforcement has a role, along with engineering, education and encouragement, in improving bicycle safety. Well-targeted enforcement (with or without citations) has great potential to positively affect bicycle safety and enjoyment. Officers can also help engineers, educators and others to identify possible problems and solutions.
The goals of EBS:
Provide police officers with basic training about bicycling and bicycle safety issues.
Develop awareness among police officers about the significance of bicycling and its related issues.
Convince officers that they can improve traffic safety by enforcing laws, both for bicyclists and motorists.
Encourage police departments to adopt a bicycle law enforcement policy.
Demonstrate the need to develop additional bicycle education curricula and materials for police agencies.
Promote a safer and more enjoyable bicycling environment.
Reduce deaths and injuries to bicyclists.
The Enforcement for Bicycle Safety Course (EBS) was developed in 1995 for the Wisconsin Department of Transportation Bureau of Transportation Safety, in conjunction with the Law Enforcement Training Center at Lakeshore Technical College (LTC) in Cleveland, WI. LTC was chosen because courses developed with a state-certified law enforcement training center are automatically approved by the Department of Justice for continuing education hours and training dollars.
EBS is a two-day course designed to give police officers the basic bicycle safety information they need to manage traffic and provide a safe bicycling environment in their communities. The course is designed for all police officers who are assigned patrol duties and will encounter bicyclists. Officers patrolling by bicycle and those involved in bicycle education find EBS particularly helpful. Topics covered include bicycle history, bicycle types, why and where people bicycle, engineering, bicycle crashes, enforcement, laws, crash investigation and reporting, education, bicycle theft, bicycle registration, police bicycle patrols, and on-bike training.
Courses initially were offered through the state's law enforcement training centers at vocational-technical colleges, but this approach was quickly abandoned in favor of offering the course through individual police departments.
Evaluation and Results
For the first few years of the course, officers were given pre-tests and post-tests designed to measure both their basic bicycle safety knowledge and their attitudes about enforcement for bicycle safety. The bicycle enforcement activities of 10 officers from one department were evaluated for a five-year period before the course and then one year after the course. Feedback is solicited from course participants following every course via a course evaluation form. The number of officers trained is tracked, and the future bicycle safety activities of some of these officers are monitored. Requests for courses and presentations about the course are tracked both within and outside of the state.
Initially, it was difficult to schedule courses and to fill them once scheduled. It seemed logical to offer the course through the vocational-technical colleges because this is where police officers receive their recruit school and continuing education training. But because of a lack of familiarity with the topic and insufficient advertising, few of these courses were successful. Once the courses were transferred to individual departments they became highly successful. The success of department-run courses is primarily because of incentives and marketing. Hosting departments are offered free spots in the course once a minimum number of students is reached. Hosting departments advertise the course heavily to reach this minimum and receive the free spots.
There now are three instructors running regular EBS courses in the state, but reliable course data is available from only one instructor. That instructor, the course developer, has conducted 15 courses over the last eight years. Class sizes average approximately 11 students, and 167 officers have been trained.
During the eight years that the course has been offered, the types of officers participating has changed. For the first few years, most of the attendees were new to the law enforcement field, had little, if any, bicycle experience and were sent by their training officers. Over the years this has changed. More recently the course has attracted officers who have experience in law enforcement (three to five years plus), are already trained as bicycle patrol officers (either by the Law Enforcement Bicycle Association (LEBA) or IPMBA) and have requested the training. Because of their on-bike training and experience, these latter trainees have tended to do better in the course and enjoyed it more.
Based on pre- and post-test results, officers attending EBS significantly improve both their bicycle safety knowledge and their attitudes about enforcement for bicycle safety. Typical comments from officers include, "I wish that I had taken this course years ago," and "It would be a good idea to send every officer through your class." One supervisor commented, "This is the first time that an officer came back from a (class) and shared the information…. Thank you for the presentation."
The bicycle enforcement activities of 10 officers from one department were evaluated for a five-year period before the course and then one year after the course. Before the course, these officers had issued only two citations for bicycle violations. The year following the course, each officer wrote an average of three to five citations. These numbers do not include citations to motorists for bicycle safety-related stops or contacts that did not result in a citation. Those types of enforcement activities are believed to have increased as well.
Following their participation in the EBS course, many students have increased their level of participation in bicycle safety activities. Some make more enforcement contacts, others have sought out additional bicycle safety training and have become instructors for this and other courses. One officer now sits on the board of directors for a state bicycle advocacy organization. All of these activities indicate an increased level of awareness and interest among police officers of bicycling issues.
Developing instructors for the course has been difficult. Police officers, or former police officers, seem to be the most credible when teaching other officers. But, because of their workloads and schedules, most police officers have little free time for other jobs. Also, relatively few officers are interested in teaching bicycle safety to other officers. An instructor course was conducted in 1996 shortly after EBS was developed; however, none of the participants had taken the course before and only two graduates went on to teach courses. Another instructor course was conducted in 2001 using only former EBS graduates. The six instructor candidates still need to co-teach with the lead instructor, but then they will be certified.
EBS has gained national recognition. Courses or presentations about the course have been made in Minnesota, Indiana, Iowa, Pennsylvania, Arizona and Washington. Portions of the course recently were incorporated into a new National Highway Traffic Safety Administration course, "Community Bicycle Safety: For Law Enforcement."
Conclusions and Recommendations
The most effective means of introducing bicycle safety knowledge and activities into law enforcement likely is through inclusion of bicycle safety training in police recruit schools and field training for new officers. Until this happens, continuing education training, like EBS, will have to fill the gap. EBS training dramatically improves the knowledge, activity levels, and attitudes of police officers about enforcement for bicycle safety. This type of training should be incorporated into every law enforcement department in the country.
The cost of the EBS course is $90 to $100 per officer, but departments that sponsor a course receive a discount, usually free spaces in the course. The course is approved by the Wisconsin Department of Justice and training dollars can be used to pay for attendees.
Funding for the initial development of the course in 1995 was provided by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation-Bureau of Transportation Safety (WisDOT-BOTS) using Federal Highway Safety (402) Funds. The cost was about $10,000. WisDOT-BOTS paid approximately $10,000 to revise and update the course materials in 2001.

Lois Lowry is an American author who has written more than 30 children's books. She was awarded Newbery Medals for Number the Stars and The Giver. Her works are often taught in classrooms as they explore subject matter such as racism, illness, and the Holocaust.
She says that she stresses the importance of human connections in her novels. In a radical departure from her realistic fiction and comic chronicles of Anastasia, Lowry creates a chilling, tightly controlled future society where all controversy, pain, and choice have been expunged, each childhood year has its privileges and responsibilities, and family members are selected for compatibility.

Life Coaching for Parents: Responsible Mom Trap, "I Have, I Need, I Should"
Have you fallen into the responsible mom trap?
Stay home moms are especially vulnerable of falling into these two traps but working moms can certainly find themselves stuck here too.
I asked a client the other day, "What percentage of your daily tasks are done out of obligation?" She figured about 90%. 90%!!! This is self imposed slavery!
Feeling like you HAVE TO do something traps the spirit and makes you feel powerless. "Shoulding" your way through life will wreck havoc on your energy and rob you of your own power and sense of authority over your life. It's a mental prison and it takes it's toll.
The most common reason why you hear moms say obligatory things like "I have to pick up your brother" "I need to start working out" or "I really should get a head start on my Christmas shopping" is because we want to feel important.
Many of us quit our jobs to stay home and raise kids and we need to prove that we are needed, valuable, and that our lives have purpose. The last thing we want is for someone to think we are sitting on the couch, watching reality TV and eating bon-bons. We take our mothering job seriously by filling our lives with obligations.
Can I check the box that says "I'm a responsible mom"?
If so, let's check it and MOVE ON to something more freeing and empowering for the human psyche.
The second trap we can fall into, trying to prove we are hardworking responsible moms, is commiserating with other hardworking, stressed out people.
It took me FOREVER to believe my husband when he told me that he wants to hear how easy and joyful my day was! He would come home from work and talk about how stressed and overwhelmed he was, so I would pick the most stressful part of my day and share back. Solidarity, it's how women support each other. You tell me what's bugging you, I tell you what's bugging me, we vent, we laugh, we feel better.
What he was asking me to do instead felt so rude!
WHAT!? That is NOT how we support people we care about! But husbands are different than girlfriends.
When we complain to our husbands, he sees our problems as something he needs to fix. When we share our crises, mishaps and exhaustion of the day, even with good intentions, it makes him feel more depleted and wondering why he's working so hard in the first place.
Focusing on the negative put us into our own mental prison instead of giving ourselves permission to fully enjoy those moments when everything is going smoothly and easily.
Can you check the box that says, "I'm a hard-working Mom"? If yes, let's check it and MOVE ON to focusing on those moments in the day when you felt deeply relaxed, present in the moment, and truly grateful. Share THOSE moments with your husband. Then he feels like his hard work is worthwhile because his kids get to be with a happy, balanced mommy all day.
Are you ready to MOVE ON from hardworking, needed and responsible? Start by replacing "I have to" "I need to" and "I should" from your vocabulary and replace it with "I choose to", "I intend to" and "I will". You've earned your Supermom patch, it's ok to kick your feet up, relax and do some fun things just for you.
Why trying to make your kids happy, will make you miserable.

Aleksandris Sverckovs (* 22. Januar 1990 in Alūksne) ist ein lettischer Biathlet.

Aleksandris Sverckovs ist Student, lebt und trainiert in Aluksne. Er wird von Sergejs Sverckovs trainiert und startet für die Sporthochschule von Aluksne. Sein internationales Debüt gab er im Rahmen der Junioren-Weltmeisterschaften 2006 in Presque Isle, bei denen er 25. im Einzel wurde, 47. im Sprint und 46. der Verfolgung. Seine ersten Rennen im Junioren-Europacup bestritt er 2007. In Martell nahm er 2007 ein zweites Mal an einer Junioren-WM teil und erreichte nun die Plätze 21 im Einzel, 50 im Sprint, 41 in der Verfolgung und zehn mit der lettischen Staffel. In Otepää trat er bei den Junioren-Wettkämpfen der Sommerbiathlon-Weltmeisterschaften auf Skirollern an und lief auf den 14. Platz im Sprint und wurde 13. der Verfolgung. 2008 startete er in Ruhpolding zum dritten Mal bei einer Junioren-WM. Im Sprint wurde Sverckovs 18., in der Verfolgung 16. sowie im Einzel und dem Staffelrennen Achter. Wenig später nahm er auch an den Biathlon-Europameisterschaften 2008 der Junioren in Nové Město na Moravě teil, bei denen er 13. im Einzel, 29. im Sprint und Siebter mit der Staffel wurde. Auch bei den Biathlon-Europameisterschaften 2009 von Ufa startete der Lette zunächst bei den Wettbewerben der Junioren. Im Einzel erreichte er den 14. Platz, wurde 31. des Sprints und 26. der Verfolgung. Für die Staffel wurde Sverckovs zu den Männern berufen.

2009 gab Sverckovs sein Debüt im IBU-Cup. Sein erstes Rennen bestritt er bei einem Sprint in Nové Město na Moravě und wurde 43. Beim anschließenden Verfolgungsrennen verbesserte er sich auf den 42. Platz und erreichte damit sein bislang bestes Ergebnis in dieser Rennserie. Bei der EM 2009 in Ufa kam er im Staffelrennen das erste Mal bei einem Großereignis bei den Männern zum Einsatz und wurde an der Seite von Edgars Piksons, Oskars Muižnieks und Rolands Pužulis Elfter.

Rosie Perez on Why She Felt Violated Doing Nude Scene in 'Do The Right Thing'
Actress Rosie Perez attends the screening of Roman J. Israel, Esq. at Henry R. Luce Auditorium at Brookfield Place on November 20, 2017 in New York City.

*Rosie Perez once confessed that her nude scene in Spike Lee's "Do The Right Thing" was one of the most humiliating experiences of her film career.
Perez plays the girlfriend of Lee's character Mookie, and there's one memorable scene where he drips ice cubes over her bare breasts.
In a 2000 interview with New York Times, Perez explained why she had a "big problem" with her very first nude scene.

She explained:
"My first experience [with doing nude scenes] was Do the Right Thing. And I had a big problem with it, mainly because I was afraid of what my family would think — that's what was really bothering me. It wasn't really about taking off my clothes. But I also didn't feel good about it because the atmosphere wasn't correct. And when Spike Lee puts ice cubes on my nipples, the reason you don't see my head is because I'm crying," Perez admitted.
"I was like, I don't want to do this. I felt like Irene Cara in "Fame." It was like, Wait a minute, I feel so wimpy, this is not who I am. So that was my first experience, and it was horrible. But then I went and took my clothes off again for "White Men Can't Jump"! But that was because it was totally my decision, I felt totally comfortable, the director was so cool and Woody Harrelson was like, Well, whatever you want is cool with me. So there I felt empowered by it," she added.
"But with "Do the Right Thing" it was like, 'Now I'm the object, here's the shot.' And the reason why I cried was not so much because I felt violated as because I was angry at myself, because I wanted to say: "Say something! Get up!" So that's how I felt violated. I felt like I violated myself."
As noted by I Love Old School Music, Perez previously admitted that she was not threatened, nor forced to film the nude scene in Do the Right Thing. She even revealed in her memoir, "Handbook For An Unpredictable Life," how her machete-wielding/drug dealer brother-in-law accompanied her to set to ensure Spike didn't try anything funny — such as film any parts of her vagina.

Ronnie James Dio to tour in hologram form
Written by brianb, May 30th, 2019
Associated Press (AP) reporter, John Marshall, Came to the Dio Returns Press debut on May 26th. John had a chance to speak with Eyellusion CEO, Jeff Pezzuti, Wendy Dio, as well as the Dio band!
Images of explosions, fire and dragons stream across a massive digital screen set behind a band playing the opening chords of Dio's "King of Rock and Roll."
The screen switches to an apocalyptic scene of nuclear power plant smokestacks spewing against a molten-colored sky. The center section goes dark and flames appear, transforming into an image familiar to fans of hard rock/heavy metal music: the diminutive figure of Ronnie James Dio.
The singer died nine years ago, but advances in hologram technology have made it possible for fans to watch him perform and hear his voice with a live band in the "Dio Returns" tour.
"It's something that we want to do for the fans that never got to see Ronnie and the band or want to see them again," Dio's widow, Wendy, said. "This is a show, bringing Ronnie back and the memories, but also the band."
Wendy Dio first had the idea of a Ronnie hologram when she was approached by Eyellusion CEO Jeff Pezzuti in 2015.…
"It's the closest thing you're going to get from the original," Pezzutti said. "There's nothing closer, really. You want to create some of the excitement from back then."
"We wanted him to be himself," said Wright, who played with AC/DC in the 1980s. "We wanted it to feel like it's him, it captures his spirit when he was on stage and I think they did a great job with it."

Devoteam LuxembourgInsights & EventsNews & PRStrong improvement of the operating margin at 9.9% in H1 2017 September 5, 2017
Strong improvement of the operating margin at 9.9% in H1 2017
Acquisition of D2SI, a French leader of the Public Cloud technologies of Amazon.
Disposal of the control in Between.
Devoteam (Euronext Paris: DVT) reported revenues of €256.5 million and operating margin of 9.9% for the first half of 2017. In addition, the Group also announced two strategic moves that are aligned with the ambition outlined in its Scale! plan.
On 21 July 2017, Devoteam signed an agreement which will lead to the divestment of 40% of Between shares to its minority shareholders. Between is based in the Netherlands and focused on brokerage business. The closing is expected to happen in September 2017 and will decrease Devoteam's ownership in the company to 35%. In accordance with IFRS 5, the consolidated income statement of the Group has been restated, and the net profits and losses related to Between are now booked in the "Income from discontinued operation, net of tax" line. Previous periods have been restated to keep the method unchanged from one period to another.
On 6 August 2017, the Group also signed an agreement which will lead to the acquisition of a majority stake of 80% in D2SI, a Public Cloud specialist and one of the leading French providers of cloud solutions of Amazon Web Services. D2SI supports its customers in the fields of automation, modernisation and development of application portfolio, and the deployment of Big Data solutions. Furthermore, D2SI benefits from a significant market visibility and credibility, as the organizer of the TIAD (The Incredible Automation Day), the leading event on IT automation in France. The company employs circa 100 people and generated revenues of €13 million in 2016. This acquisition will be consolidated as of 1 October 2017. From a strategic point of view, this acquisition fits fully with the ambition and dynamic of the Scale! plan as it reinforces the position of Devoteam on the Agile IT Platform offer, and extends the ability to provide, next to the market leaders (AWS, Google, Microsoft), for the fast growing demand for Public Cloud.

New Center to Boost NORTHCOM, NORAD Capabilities
By Donna Miles, American Forces Press Service.
Washington D.C. -- (AFPS) March 7, 2008 -- An integrated command center scheduled to become operational in May will improve the global situational awareness critical to U.S. Northern Command and North American Aerospace Command in protecting the homeland, the commands' top officer said yesterday.
The new center, in the works since 2006, will help both commands confront threats posed by unpredictable adversaries who are increasingly networked and dynamic, Air Force Gen. Victor E. Renuart Jr. told the Senate Armed Services Committee.
Renuart commands both NORTHCOM, which protects the United States from enemy attacks and natural disasters, and NORAD, a U.S.-Canadian command that focuses on airborne threats to North America. The two commands work as partners in what Renuart called a "no-fail mission" of protecting the homeland.
"Our missions require a culture of anticipation," Renuart told the senators. He called the ability to anticipate events that may require a military response an essential element of success for both commands.
The new command center will go a long way in promoting global situational awareness and interconnectivity with key homeland defense and civil support partners, Renuart said.
"The NORAD and USNORTHCOM Command Center will provide a more efficient and effective means of executing homeland defense against threats coming from all domains," he stated in his prepared testimony.
The center will provide better coordination between defense activities and other stakeholders, especially Canada Command, to support defense activities, he said. It also will enhance the military commands' ability to provide defense support of civilian authorities.
As work continues in bringing the new center on line, NORTHCOM and NORAD continue bolstering their abilities to provide homeland defense for the United States and Canada, Renuart said. Both commands "are steadfastly committed to our mission of defending our homelands, and we know we cannot fail," he said.
Renuart described some of the top-priority efforts under way:
-- Building more capability to respond to chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and high-yield explosives incidents, whether a deliberate terrorist attack or an accident;
-- Leading Defense Department preparations for a potential pandemic influenza, working to synchronize military efforts globally to minimize contamination and prevent further spread of the pandemic;
-- Strengthening preparations for and responses to natural disasters ranging from hurricanes to floods to wildfires in the United States;
-- Boosting U.S. homeland defense through continual improvements in the commands' operational missile defense program and maritime and air defense activities;
-- Strengthening partnerships at the international, interagency, state and local levels to improve homeland defense and civil-support capabilities; and
-- Improving situational awareness capabilities essential to predicting threats from space as well as the maritime domain.
"Through continued emphasis on anticipating and preparing for all-hazards response with our mission partners, strengthening relationships with our mission partners, improving our homeland defense and civil support capabilities and anticipating future impacts to our continent security, we are on the right path for a secure nation," Renuart said. "With Congress' sustained support, USNORTHCOM and NORAD will continue to protect and defend our fellow citizens and the freedoms they enjoy."

Applying For Turkish Nationality
Author Topic: Applying For Turkish Nationality (Read 12101 times)
Av.Duygu Tekay
According to Turkish Nationality Act (numbered 403), a foreigner should meet the following requirements in order to apply for Turkish nationality.
S/he should be at the age of consent according to his/her national law (if s/he is not a citizen of any country, Turkish law is taken into consideration which requires 18 years old as the age of consent).
S/he should reside in Turkey for the last five years and should have the intention of settling in Turkey (This condition may not be applicable to those who are married to a Turkish national or those with Turkish origin).
S/he should be in good health.
S/he should shave an adequate command of Turkish.
S/he should have enough financial resources to support himself/herself and his/her family in Turkey.
Application can be made through our Consular Section or the local Governor's office in Turkey with the following documents.
A document revealing the present nationality of the applicant, i.e. passport or birth certificate.
If married to a Turkish national, the official documents confirming the identities and family ties of the spouse and the under aged children.
Certification of applicant's ability to speak Turkish (a certificate will be issued by our Consular Section upon a successful interview of the applicant).

Completed dossiers are transferred to the Ministry of Interior of the Republic of Turkey, which in turn will consider and process the applications on their merits. The applicants will be informed of the outcome by this Consulate in due course.
Re: Applying For Turkish Nationality
The procedure for gaining Turkish citizenship is given below.
The applicant should be of full age according to his own national legal system.
The applicant must have resided in Turkey for 5 years, without any interruptions.
The applicant must have the intention of settling in Turkey. The foreigner should confirm his intention of settling in Turkey with behaviors such as acquiring immovable property, marrying and so on.
The applicant must have been married to a Turkish citizen for at least three years and should have been actually living together.
The applicant must have good moral standing, and having no relation to theft, smuggling, swindling etc...
The applicant should have no sickness or disease that threats the poublic.
The applicant must have the means to provide financially for himself/herself and his/her dependents.
There is an exceptional way of obtaining Turkish Citizenship in which all conditions of acceptance to citizenship are essential except the 5-years-residence period and the confirmation of will by behavior. In this kind of acceptance, the conditions of residence in Turkey for five years and the intention of settlement in Turkey shall not be necessary. This right has been given to:
The children of full age of those who have lost Turkish Citizenship.
Those who have married Turkish citizens and have children who have reached two years of age.
Those that are of Turkish origin and their wives/husbands and children of full age.
Those who have settled in Turkey with the intention of living in Turkey.
Those that are thought to import into Turkey new developments in social, economics, science, technology and art matters.
Those whose acceptances are deemed essential by "The Cabinet".
Eligibility for citizenship is conditional upon the validity of the marriage. If one of the couple is already married at the time of the new marriage contract or is not mentally healthy or capable of understanding, the marriage is deemed null and void. Null and void marriages can be cancelled by a court decree. At the end of such a case, the wife may either lose or keep her citizenship, depending on her "good will" which means whether or not she was aware of the "cause" that would prevent the validity of the marriage with the husband.
The Fictitious Marriage
There is no provision in Turkish Laws that enables fictitious marriages to be readily cancelled. So, marriages built upon the aim of gaining Turkish citizenship are no subject to cancellation. If the marriage occurs before Turkish Authorities (which are consulates in foreign countries or the Turkish Marrying officers in Turkey), the notification should be done to the authorities married before.
If the marriage occurs before foreign authorities, which have the authority for marrying, the notice should be done to the Turkish registration authorities and The Ministry of Interior Affairs shall also be informed.The wife should make the citizenship claim, herself. The authority, which has received the claim that is made in accordance with the procedure, shall forward this claim to the security authorities and Census Directorate (Nüfus Müdürlüğü).

Travel video about destination Split in Croatia.
Split is the Croatian Republic's second largest city and the financial and cultural centre of Dalmatia. It has a harbour for ferries, cruise liners and greets tourists from all over the world but the origin and importance of this city date back to Roman emperor, Diocletian who, planning for his retirement, wanted to build a grand property near to his hometown of Salona, a palace along the lines of a Roman castrum.
If Split is not on your Bucket list you should add it.
A choice of accommodation in 385 properties in and around Split Croatia.
Croatia – the New Tourism Star of the European Union video.
This is a story about a land of a thousand islands, her magical nature and rich heritage, her great Men whose great deeds have forever etched the name of Croatia in large letters on the map of the world. This is a story about a land whose beauties have been celebrated since ancient times.
From Cassiodorus, who wrote of the divine life led by Patricians on her shores, to Dante, who wrote his immortal verses, enthralled by the epic scenes of the blue expanse, and all the way to George Bernard Shaw, who found his paradise on Earth right here. This has always been a place of true inspiration.
Berlitz Pocket Guide Croatia (Berlitz Pocket Guides).
From beautiful Dubrovnik and the stunning Plitvice Lakes National Park to Pula's wealth of Roman heritage sites and the plethora of islands strung out along its Adriatic coastline, there is much to tempt the visitor.
Berlitz Pocket Guide is a concise, full-colour travel guide that combines lively text with vivid photography to highlight the best that the country has to offer.
Holidays in Croatia are an eye opener as Croatia offers visitors an incredible range of  landscapes: from the Mediterranean coast with its necklace of 1,244 islands to the sunflower gilded Slavonian plains.
You don't have to be a millionaire to have an island all to yourself. Thousands of them have been breaking away from the coastline of middle Europe into the Adriatic for millions of years. There's bound to be one to suit you.
Perhaps with your own lighthouse. A refuge from everyday life. A real opportunity for a week or two of pure escapism where you can get to examine yourself without strangers examining you. Swim in a bay of your own, without neighbours, without witnesses. Just you and those you choose to be with. It won't cost you a fortune and, for one brief moment of your life, you will have something nobody else has.
All this can be yours when you make the right choice and come to Croatia.
There are more than one thousand islands scattered along the Croatian coast, each unique, the vast majority uninhabited. Each has its own exceptional story and place in history. Battles were waged for them. Great rulers surrendered to them.
Powerful potentates were seduced by them. They have left poets speechless and artists agog. You too, will be stunned by their beauty, intoxicated by their tranquillity, and left yearning to return over and over again. They say we all have one weakness. Those who have tasted the Croatian islands have a thousand. The first journey to the Adriatic is always an adventure, a trip into the unknown.
Subsequently, familiarity distils the hidden depths of beauty, personal recognition enhances sights and sounds. Don't rush it. Like good wine or a first love affair, true fulfillment comes only after anticipation, cultivation and dedication.
You will know it when you feel it. It is like an emotional longing which has suddenly been satisfied. A place where the search for yourself comes to an end and you love what you have found. Somewhere you will return to gladly and will be as gladly welcomed back.
Those who are used to saying good-bye truly rejoice in the arrival of every friend. Whatever you expect on your arrival, you will be unprepared for the warmth of the welcome in Croatia. Whatever you expect from a holiday, you will be unable to forget us. Whether you sail, swim, walk, ride or simply observe, you will do them differently in Croatia. If you are not prepared to be changed forever, keep away.
For those who love exploring monuments, wandering on solitary beaches, or jostling amid the liveliness of a Mediterranean town, then Croatia will delight you. It is a land of discoveries, of pristine nature, of a brilliant new dawn and of a lifestyle so often imagined, so rarely attained.
Here, the tensions of life seem to fade into insignificance. In the rays of the setting sun as your lighthouse throws its lengthening shadow across the beach towards the sea, you will look towards the coastline and wish for nowhere else.
Croatia has 1,777 km of mainland Adriatic shoreline and no fewer than 1,185 islands, islets and reefs. Only 66 of them are inhabited. Any of the others could be yours.

Q: Foundation 5: Changing font-sizes and font inheritance for content formatting I've been looking at the code and documentation but I can't seem to be able to figure this out. Most content tags have a hard-coded font size to 1rem, which makes font size inheritance impossible.
This is the default CSS for Foundation:
https://github.com/zurb/bower-foundation/blob/master/css/foundation.css#L3481
/* Default paragraph styles */
p {
  font-family: inherit;
  font-weight: normal;
  font-size: 1rem;
  line-height: 1.6;
  margin-bottom: 1.25rem;
  text-rendering: optimizeLegibility; }

In an ideal scenario, if you set a container to have a font size of 20px, all content should inherit it and keep working from there - this should include paragraphs, lists, quotes, and the headings should use this as a base size.
This doesn't happen on Foundation, please see the following code snippet on JS Bin.
http://jsbin.com/muqij/1
The only way I've managed to make this work is by re-styling the font sizes to em and changing the container's size.
I would like to believe I'm missing something here.

A: Normally, you don't want inheritance of the font size because it leads to inconsistency and makes design noisy. Also it can entangle yours styles and markup in one big inflexible mess. Imagine alert box that looks different each time.
But if you really need such behavior you can edit settings with Sass version.

A: Since Foundation 5 encourages you to reset your styles for everything, I decided to fix this by using a CSS class that resets font-size inheritance.
I wish I didn't have to use this, but it's a good workaround. It resuses the SCSS variables from Foundation and converts all the REMs to EMs. So your fonts should scale accordingly where needed.
This snippet of code has been published as a Gist on GitHub.
https://gist.github.com/neojp/7f6f8e97ba7f0cbf3bd8
// Convert units
// Eg.
//   font-size: convert-unit(16rem, em);
//    >> font-size: 16em;
//
//   font-size: convert-unit(16em, rem);
//    >> font-size: 16rem;
//
//   font-size: convert-unit(16em, px);
//    >> font-size: 16rpx;

@function convert-unit($val, $unit) {
    @return strip-units($val) + $unit;
}

// Bring back font-size inheritance for Foundation 5
// Add this class to the content container and change the font-size accordingly
// Eg.
//   HTML markup
//     <article class="MainContent u-textFormat">
//   Font size with REM assuming html has a default font size of 16px
//     .MainContent { font-size: 1.25rem; }
//   or font size with pixels
//     .MainContent { font-size: 20px; }
// Then all <p> tags would have a font-size of 20px;

.u-textFormat {
    font-size: 1rem;

    h1 {
        font-size: convert-unit($h1-font-size, em);
    }

    h2 {
        font-size: convert-unit($h2-font-size, em);
    }

    h3 {
        font-size: convert-unit($h3-font-size, em);
    }

    h4 {
        font-size: convert-unit($h4-font-size, em);
    }

    h5 {
        font-size: convert-unit($h5-font-size, em);
    }

    h6 {
        font-size: convert-unit($h6-font-size, em);
    }

    p {
        font-size: convert-unit($paragraph-font-size, em);
    }

    ul,
    ol,
    dl {
        font-size: convert-unit($list-font-size, em);
    }

    blockquote cite {
        font-size: convert-unit($blockquote-cite-font-size, em);
    }

    table caption {
