I only began blogging because I read blogs. I've noticed over the years, that I have some pretty set-in-stone habits, when I'm blog hopping.
I definitely read more than I comment. But when I comment, I REALLY MEAN IT! When I comment, it's truly because something you wrote, or a picture you posted, inspired me to want to share my feelings with you!
I have too many blogs in my reader. I follow more blogs than I have time to read. But I do read them before I mark as "read"! Sometimes that means reading a week's worth of your blog posts!
I try to read blogs in the morning, with my coffee. I really enjoy that!
I read blogs before I read the news, but after I check Facebook!
Okay - well, there is a bunch of blog hopping minutia! I'm 100% certain there are better "H" posts in the long list of wonderful A-Z participants!
I will only comment on blogs w/ CAPTCHA if I am friends w/ the blogger but I have cut back a lot even on their blogs, and I refuse to do it during A-Z. I'd much rather see 'your comment will appear after blog owner approval' than that damn CAPTCHA box. I disabled the ability to leave anonymous comments and that eliminated all my spam issues.
I liked your list of hopping habits. I am interested in getting more information on Bloglines as I too an looking for a new blog reader. Can you give me some more information? Or point me in the right direction?
This might be a good one for the letter "q", queries answered.
I hate, hate, hate CAPTCHA. I think I have some sort of dysfunction when it comes to reading those twisted words.
I also have far more blogs to read each day than I have time to read them. I think it's a good problem to have.
You said it, funny how we all develop habits for reading blogs that become so enjoyable to us....I like to read those I follow just before bed!

Why do we need to write the logic to update a related record in an after trigger but not before? Update triggers(Before/After) will have both the record ID and the related record's ID so why can I not write the logic in a before trigger?
If I understand your question correctly, then you actually can take your related record update logic and put it in either a before or after trigger.
Salesforce's suggestion is that before triggers should be used to update data on the records taking part in the trigger (the ones stored in trigger context variables), but it's just that... a suggestion.
Related to the above point, this "fail fast" mechanism (and not doing ultimately meaningless work) means that you have less chance of running out of one of the resources monitored by the governor limits (which could end up masking another error).
You could put your related record update logic into a before trigger, but you should think long and hard about whether or not that's really a good idea.
Using the after trigger event is strongly recommended, but not necessary, for updating related records, because before trigger events can modify the records in an unpredictable order. Waiting until the records have been committed to the database reduces this possibility. Note that there are some specific scenarios where it is even desirable to work with related records in a before trigger, such as if you want to create parent records if they are missing.
If CreateGuid runs first, the Account will show the correct values by the end of the transaction. However, if UpdateGuidList runs first, the values will still be null. We cannot strictly predict ahead of time which trigger will run first.
However, if we move UpdateGuidList to an after insert event, we guarantee that the contacts will have the correct data before the update to the related records occur. This is generally desirable behavior.
As an alternative to this problem, what if one trigger automatically assigns a value to the lookup field, and another updates the record? In that case, the wrong record could get updated, and it would be troublesome to even debug, because the order of operations are not guaranteed between trigger events that occur at the same time.
Unless you know for sure that nobody will ever depend on the order of operations of the triggers, or that the order of execution does not matter, stick with the after trigger event for updating related records. It is much easier to use after trigger events all the time and not have to guess about possible side effects than it is to risk random or periodic logic failures because someone did not take your trigger into account when adding more logic elsewhere.

This booklet aims to help you understand more about self-harm and what to do if you are worried about yourself or someone else. It explains what self-harm is, what to do if you or someone you know is self-harming, and how to get help. Self-harm is very common and affects more people than you think.
All of the information in the booklet is based on the findings of the National Inquiry into Self-harm among young people. The inquiry was carried out by two charities, The Mental Health Foundation and The Camelot Foundation. The inquiry panel heard evidence from many hundreds of people including young people who self-harm, or have self-harmed in the past, and those who work with or care about them. This booklet is based on what they said. The booklet was developed by Celia Richardson, Kristen Morgan and Claire Walsh.

'It was causing me emotional distress': Brendan Fraser reflects on speaking up about alleged sexual assault
Ellie Harrison
December 6, 2022, 5:00 AM ·1 min read
Brendan Fraser has opened up about how going public about an alleged sexual assault affected his career.
The actor, 54, is making his Hollywood comeback in The Whale, in which he portrays an obese and reclusive English teacher who attempts to reconnect with his estranged daughter.
In 2018, Fraser alleged that he was groped by Philip Berk, the former president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, at a luncheon in 2003.
Berk firmly denied the claims, calling Fraser's account "a total fabrication". No charges were ever brought against Berk, but Fraser did receive an apology from the HFPA.
In a new interview with CBS News, Fraser was asked if the assault claims "derailed" his career, to which he replied: "Well, yes, because there's a system in place that is about power. And I had played by the rules up until that point.
"I felt like, OK, now, suddenly, I've been violated. And it has gone too far. And I will no longer abide this. It was causing me emotional distress, it was causing me personal distress."
He added: "I spoke up because I saw so many of my friends and colleagues who, at that time, were bravely emerging to speak their truth to power [in the #MeToo movement]. And I had something to say, too."
Brendan Fraser (Invision)
Earlier this year, Fraser said he would not participate in the 2023 Golden Globes, despite it being very likely he will earn a nomination for his leading role in the Oscars frontrunner The Whale.

Will an amateur make the cut at the U.S. Open?
By golfdigest.com
LA JOLLA, CALIF.--History suggests at least one of the now 11 amateurs in the field at the U.S. Open (first alternate Gary Wolstenholme is in after Sean O'Hair withdrew this afternoon) will play all four rounds at Torrey Pines GC. In 2006 and 2007 no amateur made the cut, and never in the championship's 113 years has there been more than a two-year stretch where the USGA has failed to see an amateur play the entire tournament.
So if an amateur is going to play all 72 holes this week, who might it be? Lets start by eliminating those who are the least likely. Wolstenholme has had a storied amateur career but the 47-year-old Englishman just doesn't hit it far enough to have much success on the 7,643-yard layout. Ditto to fellow mid-amateur Jeff Wilson, who at 36 was the low amateur at the 2000 U.S. Open. Now 44, the extra candles on the birthday cake aren't helping the California native.
Jimmy Henderson is an interesting story--the 31-year-old AstroTurf salesman got his amateur status back just days before playing in local qualifying last month. But if there's a textbook example of a guy who is just happy to be here, it's the Lebanon, Ohio, native.
Duke senior-to-be Michael Quagliano and recent Louisville graduate Derek Fathauer are solid players but the magnitude of competing in their first major championship would seem to be too much to overcome. Stanford's Jordan Cox is a raw talent who you will see down the road on the PGA Tour, but he's a year or two away from making the cut at a major. Washington's Nick Taylor tied for second at the NCAA Championship two weeks ago and is the Canadian Amateur champion, but he too seems to need more seasoning.
That leaves four collegians to consider: Michael Thompson,Kevin Tway,Rickie Fowler and Kyle Stanley. Thompson, a recent Alabama graduate, has a major under his belt, having played at the Masters in April. Having experienced the hoopla surrounding such an event already, he won't be in awe by all the stuff surrounding the tournament. The problem however is that Thompson hasn't been very sharp of late (T-65 at the Central Regional; T-29 at the NCAA Championship). Suffice it to say, the U.S. Open isn't the venue to be trying to get your game back.
Conversely, Tway finished up his freshman season at Oklahoma State strongly (won Central Regional) and has his PGA Tour veteran dad, Bob, on his bag. The combination should let the 19-year-old make a run at playing on the weekend but likely come up just short.
As for Tway's college roommate, Fowler, and Stanley, they seem to have everything in order to be the ones contending for low amateur honors. Fowler's roller coaster week to just get into the event (lost playoff for one of the last spots into the Open, only to get in as an alternate) ended with him defending his title at the Sunnehanna Amateur last weekend. He might be a little tired, but he's talented enough to overcome it.
Stanley, a junior-to-be at Clemson, impressed many by having a miserable final round at the NCAA Championship (started two off the lead, then shot an 82) only to bounce back at sectional qualifying and earn his spot here at Torrey Pines. A member of the victorious 2007 U.S. Walker Cup team, he hits the ball a mile, is straight enough to avoid the killer kikuyu and, ultimately, will give us a two-player race for the title of low amateur.

We received a telephone call today from one of our customers who had purchased a printer with refillable cartridges and ink, advising us that they were getting lines through their images when trying to print photos and graphics.
Having been on to Epson for support and getting nowhere they called us to suggest that the printer maybe at fault. We spent a couple of minutes going through the paper settings with the customer and the problem was resolved immediately. The customer was highly delighted and went away confident with her new knowledge of printer settings.
As many customers just go with the default settings on their printer which are set to draft quality on plain paper, we have written this article to help customers understand the paper settings and what they are asking of their printers to help avoid the frustration of thinking that the printer is faulty.
This applies to all ink/printer types including standard, archival, edible or dye sublimation.
When printing photos or graphics, please use the settings below.
To illustrate this we have attached images of the printed test sheet below, printed on default settings and on our recommended settings so you can see the difference.
this was such an easy fix – one of those things once you do it you have this lightbulb moment of "well, duh!" – thanks so much….now I wonder if I needed to get rid of my previous printer….


Includes unlimited streaming of Chrysalis via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.
Longtime Bay Area DJ, producer, community and event organizer, Nihar Bhatt steps up for JKTN047 with an 8-track album titled Chrysalis. The sound palette across the album is rooted in industrial, club, and ambient techno, with a confident nod to experimentation that places the music squarely within the ethos and politics of the projects and artists he is so deeply involved with in the Bay. Chrysalis is the sound of an emerging artist thoughtfully taking the pulse of a rapidly-changed city yet also carving out a distinct niche within a genre that can be flooded with icy, impersonal electronics. The music is dark, but it's also emotional.
If you're from the Bay (and beyond), you know how entrenched Nihar is in the local scene, through projects like Surface Tension, Left Hand Path and Intersection (to name a few) and we're proud to partner with him for the next phase of his journey and artistic process. This is an album for DJs, but also a slowly-unfurling, rewarding home listen.


When you live and work in the "Air Capital of the World," there is pretty much always a need for a nut, a bolt or a screw. At least that's what Bill Crow thought when he started his own company, Midwest Fastener Supply, Inc., in 1973. He knew the demand would be great for the kind of fasteners that held aircraft together and the fact that here we are still here today is a testament to his vision.
Bill owned and operated the company until the early 1990s. When he retired, he sold the company to his youngest daughter and her husband, Jay Patterson. Jay lead the company from the time it was purchased until December of 2013, when he passed the title of President down to his youngest daughter and Bill's granddaughter, Anastasia Pike, who runs it today.
Midwest Fastener Supply, Inc. is a woman owned, family business and we pride ourselves on our commitment to our customers. With our combined experience of over 40 years, our vast knowledge allows us to provide superior service and as a small operation, our agility allows us to ebb and flow in order to meet and keep up with the demands of our industry. Our customers really appreciate our quick response time to requests and our ability to ship stock items the same day. We look forward to the opportunity to serve you.


Edward Ringwood Hewitt was a noted author, inventor, and sports fisherman. He was born in June of 1866 at Ringwood Manor, which his middle name commemorates. He was a graduate of Princeton University, did postgraduate work at the University of Berlin, and spent much time traveling throughout Europe.
Edward's first job was with Hiram Maxim in England, attempting to develop a steam-powered aircraft. Although unsuccessful, their work did help to solve certain aviation problems. While in England, Hewitt also invented a one-cylinder car that was marketed by the Adams Hewitt Company. He later organized the Hewitt Motor Company in New York. The single-cylinder engine was soon outdated, and Edward turned his attention to designing a truck engine that was later adopted by Mack Trucks. His company was later absorbed by the International Motor Corporation, which manufactured Mack Trucks, and Edward was retained by the company as a consultant until his death.
Edward had a keen interest in chemistry and engineering. He also was interested in farming, testing soil and trying to increase the vitamin content of hay. He later penned a booklet noting the effect of lecithin on the health of individuals.
Edward's main love was fishing. By age 26, he had already fished throughout Europe, Canada, and the American West. He incorporated underwater photography to take pictures of fish nibbling at various types of artificial flies. In 1918, Edward established a fishing camp, called the "Big Bend Club," on 2,700 acres in the Catskill Mountains. He was a pioneer in stream reconstruction and habitat improvement for trout and was the creator of such flies as the Neversink Skater and the Bi-Visible. He was also credited with pioneering the use of a small, one-handed rod for salmon fishing, which was an improvement on the oversized two-handed rods used in Britain. Edward even produced a small catalog where people could purchase his own designs of fishing condition charts, magnifying glasses, line greases, leader soaks, and various flies that he personally tied. He is also the original patent holder of the felt-sole wading shoe and other innovations.
Edward authored many books on fishing. His works include: Secrets of the Salmon (1922),Telling on the Trout (1926), Better Trout Streams (1931), Hewitt's Handbook of Fly Fishing (1933), Hewitt's Handbook of Stream Improvement (1934), Hewitt's Nymph Fly Fishing (1934), Hewitt's Handbook of Trout Raising and Stocking (1935), and A Trout and Salmon Fisherman for 75 Years (1948).
Edward Hewitt married Mary Ashley in 1892, and they had four children. The family had a home in the Gramercy Park section of New York City and a summer residence at Ringwood named Weewapoo Farms. The farm was later appropriated by the State of NJ and is now part of the Wanaque Reservoir. Edward went on to write several books about his personal life and his famous family. He penned Ringwood Manor: Home of the Hewitts, Those Were the Days, and Days from Seventy-Five to Ninety. These books give a first-hand account of what it was like to live at the Hewitt's residences in New York City and Ringwood.
Edward was an avid collector of exotic musical instruments and had a keen ear for fine music. He even patented a machine to make strings for musical instruments. After his death, his collection of rare pieces was given to the Harvard University Music Department where they are still available to researchers from all over the world.
Like the rest of his family, Edward was active within the Cooper Union community, serving as its treasurer from 1898 until 1924.
After living a successful life Edward Ringwood Hewitt passed away at the age of 91 on February 14, 1957.

SUPPORT The Lazys thanked fans for supporting "the old bands" but the Baby Animals showed they were anything but a nostalgia act at the Annandale last night.
In a one-off Sydney show, Suze Demarchi, Dave Leslie and their cohorts road tested a host of new songs which they hope will be the cornerstone of the next era for the Oz Rock legends – and the sold-out crowd at the MMM-sponsored shindig loved it.
"Bonfires" is a classy mid-tempo rocker, "Invisible Dreamer" has a classic rock feel to it, "Warm Body" assures us Suze's body is our friend, while "Under Your Skin" was lapped up as if it was 25 years old.
The Baby Animals opened things up with "One Word" off 1991's eponymous debut and also threw in a searing cover of Michael Jackson's "Beat It" – with improvised ending – that ticked a lot more boxes than Chris Cornell's recent take on "Billie Jean". There were the old favourites too – "Painless" "Break My Heart" and – at the end of the main set – "Early Warning".
The focus was on the recent, with "Stitch" off Il Grande Silenzio and both the A- and B-sides of single "You Got It Bad", while favourites such as "Working For The Enemy " were overlooked in favour of Suze's solo effort, "Tele-Love".
After a brief encore of "Rush You" and "Ain't Gonna Get", they departed with the big crowd baying for more. Earlier, Central Coast boys The Lazys had made the most of the opportunity to play in front of a large crowd with an impressive set that brought to mind early incarnations of the Screaming Jets and The Poor.
The highlight was their anthem "All Fired Up", closely followed by "Union Of The Underdog". The upstarts are slowly weeding the filler out of their set.


I'm new to these forum but have been waiting for a DayZ stand alone since the first version for Arma II was released. I decided to come here and make the suggestion that the dev team take, what I would consider the base game, from Arma II and make it as the stand-alone. The game already had a nice balance of food, weapon, and vehicle spawns and you weren't immediately getting hungry, thirsty, or cold within a minute of joining the game, also it was clear what the best stuff in the game was to try and find as well as the tool belt that wouldn't take up space in your bags for something like a compass. I would suggest adding everything else (like all the flavor cloths), build-able stuff, etc… as DLC's later on.
I miss the old game where antibiotics and sprite cans where rare and personally feel like when I load up the DayZ standalone that I bought on my steam account that the game feels clunky and has regressed as many of the things that used to be plentiful are no longer around (like when I go into a hospital and find 20,000 antibiotics and no blood bags). Still looking forward to this game and hope this suggestion is favorable and not just dismissed (I'm not looking to undermine what has been done I just feel like the Arma II version of DayZ was a more complete game).

Forex & Currencies Trading Forex Trading Strategy & Education
By Cory Mitchell
What Is the SEK (Swedish Krona)?
SEK is the currency code for the Swedish krona, the currency for Sweden. The Swedish krona is made up of 100 öre and is often presented with the symbol kr. The krona, which means "crown" in English, is also known in Sweden as the "spänn" or "kosing." Sweden has no minimum wage, but the krona remains strong.
The Swedish krona is the official currency of Sweden.
The currency code for the krona is SEK, and the abbreviation is kr.
While Sweden is expected to adopt the euro at some point, there is little urgency as the Swedish population is not in favor of switching currencies.
The e-krona is a digital version of the krona, used via an app, and is expected to phase out the use of cash.
Understanding the SEK (Swedish Krona)
The Swedish krona replaced the riksdaler riksmynt at par in 1873 when the Scandinavian Monetary Union was formed. This union of Sweden and Denmark used the gold standard to value the krona at 0.04032% a kilogram of gold, and two years later Norway joined the union pegging its currency at the same value as its Scandinavian counterparts. After WWI and the break-up of the union, the currencies were separated, and Sweden kept its own respective krona.
Since 1992, the exchange rate has been allowed to float against other currencies, with the central bank intervening when necessary to stabilize the krona's value.
The most heavily traded currency pair involving the SEK is the EUR/SEK, or the euro versus the krona.
Sweden is expected to join the eurozone, and adopt the euro, as part of the accession treaty of 1995, although the majority of politicians and citizens are not in favor of adopting the euro. Therefore, there is no urgency to give up the krona, and as of 2019, there are no plans to switch over.
SEK and Negative Rates
In July 2009, Sweden became the first country to experiment with negative interest rates when the Riksbank, the Swedish Central Bank, lowered the target interest rate to 0.25 percent, which caused the deposit rate to fall to -0.25 percent. Initially, the SEK strengthened as pundits saw it as a positive that Sweden was taking a strong initiative to right its economy amidst the Great Recession of 2007 to 2009.
However, over the coming years, the Swedish economy floundered, and in 2014 the Riksbank dropped the target rate to zero, which saw the deposit rate fall a further 25 basis points to -0.50 percent. This resulted in a prolonged period of weakness in the krona, and in the 12-months following the shift, the krona fell by more than 25 percent against the U.S. dollar.
From 2016 to 2018 the target rate was dropped to -0.5, then back to -0.25 in late 2018.
Correlations of the SEK
The SEK is strongly correlated with its Scandinavian counterparts the Danish krone (DKK) and the Norwegian krone (NOK). The following chart shows the SEK/USD, DKK/USD, and NOK/USD all on the same chart. They tend to move together, although at certain times one may be stronger than the others.

Swedish Krona (SEK) Coins and Bills
Currently in circulation, there are one, two, five, and 10 kronor (plural) coins. In terms of bills, there are 20, 50, 100, 200, 500, and 1,000 kronor bills.
The use of cash in Sweden has declined dramatically leading to the dismantling of many automated teller machines (ATMs) and the introduction of an e-Krona. The e-Krona is a digital currency controlled by the Riksbank and is exchanged through the "Swish" app, which more than half of the Swedish population uses. While the e-Krona hasn't officially been adopted, as cash is still in use, it is likely that it will eventually phase out cash payments altogether.
Example of Exchange Rate Conversion Using the Swedish Krona (SEK)
Assume that the SEK/USD exchange rate is 0.1250. That means it costs US$0.1250 to buy one krona. To find how many kronor it takes to buy one U.S. dollar, divide one by the exchange rate: 1 / 0.1250 = 8. It takes eight kronor to buy one USD. This is the rate for the USD/SEK currency pair; notice how the currencies have flipped position.
If the SEK/USD rate moves up to 0.1425, the SEK has increased in value relative to the USD, and the USD has decreased in value relative to the krona. It now costs more USD to buy one krona.
If the rate falls to 0.10, the SEK has decreased in value relative to the USD. It now costs fewer USD to buy one SEK.
In the foreign currency exchange marketplace, SEK is the abbreviation for the Sweden's national currency, the krona.
DKK (Danish Krone) Definition
DKK is the foreign exchange (FX) currency code for the Danish krone, the official currency of Denmark. It is pegged to the euro.
U.S. Dollar Index (USDX) Definition
The U.S. dollar index (USDX) is a measure of the U.S. dollar's value relative to the majority of its most significant trading partners.
NOK (Norwegian Krone) Definition
The NOK, the currency of Norway, is heavily reliant on the price of oil.
NGN (Nigerian Naira) Definition and History
NGN is the currency code for the Nigerian naira, the official currency of the Nigerian Federation. The currency has faced continual devaluation due to inflation.
NOK – Norwegian Krone Is the National Currency of Norway
The NOK (Norwegian Krone) is the national currency of Norway which began circulation in 1875.

Recording of a lecture given by Valerie Cooper at the Spring Institute for Lived Theology 2008 in Charlottesville, Virginia. Churches in the United States remain startlingly segregated even today, despite increasing diversity the workplace and in academic institutions such as the University of Virginia. Cooper attempts to understand why Protestant churches lag so far behind their ideals and argues that deliberate institutional change and hard work are needed to create integrated churches.

A common feeder bird with clean black, gray, and white markings, White-breasted Nuthatches are active, agile little birds with an appetite for insects and large, meaty seeds. They get their common name from their habit of jamming large nuts and acorns into tree bark, then whacking them with their sharp bill to "hatch" out the seed from the inside. White-breasted Nuthatches may be small but their voices are loud, and often their insistent nasal yammering will lead you right to them.
The White-breasted Nuthatch is normally territorial throughout the year, with pairs staying together. The male has to spend more time looking out for predators when he's alone than while he's with his mate. That's the pattern for most birds, and one reason why birds spend so much time in flocks. But the female nuthatch has to put up with the male pushing her aside from foraging sites, so she spends more time looking around (for him) when he's around than when she is alone.
In winter, White-breasted Nuthatches join foraging flocks led by chickadees or titmice, perhaps partly because it makes food easier to find and partly because more birds can keep an eye out for predators. One study found that when titmice were removed from a flock, nuthatches were more wary and less willing to visit exposed bird feeders.
If you see a White-breasted Nuthatch making lots of quick trips to and from your feeder - too many for it to be eating them all - it may be storing the seeds for later in the winter, by wedging them into furrows in the bark of nearby trees.
The oldest known White-breasted Nuthatch was 9 years 10 months old.
The largest nuthatch, this is still a small bird with a large head and almost no neck. The tail is very short, and the long, narrow bill is straight or slightly upturned.
White-breasted Nuthatches are gray-blue on the back, with a frosty white face and underparts. The black or gray cap and neck frame the face and make it look like this bird is wearing a hood. The lower belly and under the tail are often chestnut.
White-breasted Nuthatches are birds of mature woods and woodland edges. They're particularly associated with deciduous stands, including maple, hickory, basswood, and oak, though they can be found in some coniferous forests.
White-breasted Nuthatches are agile birds that creep along trunks and large branches, probing into bark furrows with their straight, pointed bills. Like other nuthatches, they often turn sideways and upside down on vertical surfaces as they forage. They don't lean against their tails the way woodpeckers do.
White-breasted Nuthatches eat mainly insects, including weevil larvae, wood-boring beetle larvae, other beetles, tree hoppers, scale insects, ants, gall fly larvae, caterpillars (including gypsy moths and tent caterpillars), stinkbugs, and click beetles, as well as spiders. They also eat seeds and nuts, including acorns, hawthorn, sunflower seeds, and sometimes crops such as corn. At birdfeeders they eat sunflower seeds, peanuts, suet, and peanut butter.
The White-breasted Nuthatch's most common call is a loud, nasal yank often repeated a few times in a row. Both sexes make this call, and it often has a more trembling, almost bleating quality, than either the bird's song or the Red-breasted Nuthatch's call. When looking for food, males and females exchange a soft yink.

I never ceases to amaze me when I watch people in the security line. Business people, people who clearly are dressed to get off the plane and attend a meeting right away, stand their in their socks/nylons, taking off belts, jackets, jewelry. It's amazing to me that society has caved and actually does what security wants. I remember when you could just breeze through. My father would take out his wallet, coins and pocket knife (can you IMAGINE???) and put it in the little bowl so he didn't set off the alarm and then pick them up , put them in his pocket and get on the plane.
This time, I experienced a new phenomenon at security. The full body scan. The part I found the most absurd was what you have to do with your hands. There you are, barefoot and in some cases, half dressed, and you have to face this booth with a curtain (that I kept expecting a magician to pop out of) with your hands over your head forming a triangle. They show you what to do and then tell you not to let your hands touch your head and then you stand there. Then they tell you to move over to the mat with the footprints painted on. And stand there until they tell you. But they don't tell you to stand there until they tell you to move, you stand there in this limbo wondering if you should move and should should your hands still be in triangle position over your head. The girl after me tried to leave the mat before being told she was allowed to. We never saw her again. I'm kidding, they told her she had to go back. And then a voice on a small radio gave the ok and I was allowed to get my stuff, put my shoes back on and be on my way.
Then on the plane itself, everything is just so tight. I am a small person and I still have trouble fitting properly. I'm mostly amazed that the flight attendants' unions haven't put their foot down(with no shoe of course) and demanded that the aisles be wider and things go back to being slightly more spacious. Imagine how few people would be disgruntled on planes if they had some space to move!
My experience on both flights was peculiar. In this age of super vigilance about tickets, and IDs matching names, etc. I was allowed to just hop on an earlier flight going out. I literally said "I'm on the next flight, I'm not on standby yet.." and she grabbed my boarding pass without even looking at it and told me to just get on this one. Then I had nothing to hand the guy at the gate and he yelled over to her and she just waved her hand. There were 27 people missing from the roster of that plane and they called everyone by name and when they didn't appear, they actually said that if anyone wanted to get on this flight they could and that's how I got away with it. This was a very 1970's airport scene, not 2010.
Coming home was also weird. After being told it was a full flight, they closed the door and did their seatbelt/lifevest spiel. Then we sat. Then someone knocked on the door. I'm serious, knocked on the door. And the flight attendant opened it. I was sitting in the very front row so I saw it all. He said they would be bringing on more people and then walked away. No one knew who or why. Then the pilot came out. He looked more like he was on his way to a frat party than piloting through the friendly skies. He asked why the door was open and no one knew. So he got on the mic and said that he was not sure why but he would make up a story that he thought was right and then go check it out. So we sat for about 15 more minutes while about 5 people got on and then we left. He never checked out his story and that made me annoyed. This was another scene from what seemed like a different decade. It was more like we were on a bus than a plane.
Here is some trivia.. what is the one thing Dad ALWAYS wore every time we flew? Actually, 2 things!

La Raza | KCET
In East Los Angeles during the late 1960s and 1970s, a group of young activists used creative tools like writing and photography as a means for community organizing, providing a platform for the Chicano Movement in the form of the bilingual newspaper/magazine La Raza. In the process, the young activists became artists themselves and articulated a visual language that shed light on the daily life, concerns and struggles of the Mexican-American experience in Southern California and provided a voice to the Chicano Rights Movement. The archive of nearly 25,000 images defined pivotal moments, key players, and the symbols of Chicano activism. An exhibition of La Raza photographs is on display at the Autry Museum of the American West through February 10, 2019.

Interview with Simas Levinas, First Principal of the First Post-War Jewish School, Chairman of Lithuanian Jewish Religious Community
by Ilona Rūkienė
The entire Lithuanian Jewish community knows Simas Levinas as the head of the Lithuanian Jewish Religious Community, which includes two Jewish religious communities in Kaunas and the Klaipėda and Vilnius Jewish Religious Communities. Mr. Levinas was the first principal at the post-war Jewish school in Vilnius and has also served as the head of the Lithuanian Jewish Community's Social Center.
Vilnius has only one working synagogue [excluding Chabad Lubavitch House], the Choral Synagogue on Pylimo street. How are prayer services conducted there?
Prayer services are held three times daily. There are sufficient numbers of those who come to pray. Judaism is complicated, people come to prayer in the morning, afternoon and evening. Life is structured by coming and going to synagogue. They only come once during Sabbath. There are a lot of people in attendance during the summer and famous rabbis come, the followers of the Vilna Gaon. People are frequently proud of their Lithuanian roots, because being Litvak means the continuation of the Gaon's school, meaning that their parents or ancestors came from the Lithuanian Grand Duchy, many of them from [the smaller ethnically-defined nation-state of] Lithuania. They dedicate an entire day to prayer, then travel on to Volozhin, where Chaim of Volozhin [1749-1821], a disciple of the Vilna Gaon, taught the Gaon's method of textual analysis at the yehsiva he [Chaim] established especially for that purpose. During the Jewish holy days the synagogue is packed, at least before the pandemic, and it's not just Jews who come, many Lithuanian guests do as well. Ambassadors from many countries resident in Vilnius also participate.
Members of the minyan with Simas Levinas at the Choral Synagogue in Vilnius.
Simas, you were born in Šiauliai after the war. Please tell us what you remember of Jewish life then.
Šiauliai was a strange city in the 1950s. It was the Soviet era, illegal "synagogues" operated in apartments. Almost all of the city's Jews were men who survived the Holocaust and fighting at the front, and they used to gather to pray. During World War II Jews were part of the [Soviet] Lithuanian 16th Riflemen's Division, and initially they spoke Yiddish and Lithuanian, but didn't know Russian, and that made their life at the front difficult because they didn't understand orders. After some time many Russians joined the division and they taught the others Russian.
It's not really clear whether the need was greater to speak their native Yiddish out of religiosity or ethnic solidarity. Maybe it was to better remember the horrific experiences of the Holocaust.
Or maybe it was an instinctual therapeutic attempt to heal the wounds of their souls. Everyone wanted to enjoy life, the life which had been granted them miraculously by the lottery of fate.
The city's Jews supported one another and were ready to extend help to everyone who needed it. This was truly not a formal community. Its leader became… the family who had a larger apartment. At their home we held all the traditional and Saturday Sabbath meetings. I remember these took place right up to the restoration of Lithuanian independence.
What was your childhood like? What did your parents tell you, because you often hear Jews say their parents were reluctant to talk about or didn't talk at all about the Holocaust and the murder of members of their family?
They called the children of the city žydukai. I remember Hanukkah was an especially eagerly awaited holiday. We got Hanukkah gelt, ponchikes which were doughnuts and latkes. Parents used to carve dreydlakh out of wood. Some people have managed to preserve these family heirlooms–a miracle! We used to light the candles on the pre-war hanukiyas.
Now I understand that our parents did everything they could that we wouldn't know the stories of their experiences. Everyone chipped in and prepared the holidays for us, the miracles of Hanukkah.
And today most of the Jews who come from Šiauliai know and speak Yiddish. Those of us fun Shavl who are scattered by fate around the world remain in communication.
Many parents who survived the Holocaust and who saw the change in the behavior of their neighbors didn't want to teach their children Yiddish, and this contributed even more to the downfall of Yiddish. This was the language, after all, in which the history of Lithuanian Jews was written, so many books, poetry–this is a treasury which will be difficult to discover and understand if you don't know the language.
Were Jews able to enter and freely pray at the synagogue in Vilnius during the Soviet period?
The synagogue was returned to the Jewish community after the war in 1947. This was totally incomprehensible, because the famous Great Synagogue, although it had sustained damage and was shot up, was still standing and could have been repaired, but it was instead destroyed in 1956. Jews freely congregated at the synagogue after the war, knowing it had been returned to them, and believed they would enjoy the same freedom as they had before the war. They were quickly disabused of this idea because they began inviting young members of the congregation to partkoms [Party commissions] to explain to them that Soviet Jews didn't go to synagogue… With a bitter experience of life, Jews soon understood… At that time seven percent of the Lithuanian Jewish community had been deported, because the majority of them were affluent. The majority of those who attended synagogue were elderly Jews, they knew all the prayers, they had read the Torah.
Soon a matzo-making machine appeared in the synagogue, where it still stands as a special legacy.
When the Lithuanian rebirth began you were one of the most active in the restoration of the Lithuanian Jewish community, you were the first principal of the Jewish school in Vilnius and you were the intellectual leader of the school, and you always used to speak out and explain to the public the necessity of having this kind of school. Now that this school–the Sholem Aleichem ORT Gymansium–has become one of the top-rated in Lithuania, no one questions the need for it. Was it a simple matter to establish the school? How did it take place?
It was a long process. The national rebirth inspired us, Jews also used to go to the bonfires, next to the parliament, and I had the honor of entering the protected parliament and I saw the security who slept in shifts with their firearms. At the time I thought: how do they imagine themselves defending the parliament with those guns? They were real heroes, full of enthusiasm. Their guns were antiques, and they were doomed to die for Lithuania. I see that image right now, it's right there before my eyes. The spirit of rebirth wasn't limited to Lithuanians, it was everyone's. It kindled the desire to restore the Jewish school.
Most Jews didn't know Hebrew or Yiddish, hadn't read Jewish history and didn't know their own traditions. They became Jews because that was what was written in their passports. What sort of idea could rally people together? School. The man who recreated the Lithuanian Jewish Makabi Athletics Club in 1989, Simonas Finkelšteinas, inspired us to establish the school. I was already an experienced teacher then, I worked as the principal of a school in Panevėžys and I had written my doctoral dissertation at Vilnius University.
The Education Department of the City of Vilnius reacted rather favorably to our desire to establish a Jewish school with instruction in the Lithuanian language. Initially Russian school principal Larrisa Yalovaya provided premises for us out of a sense of goodwill. There had to be a transitional period, bringing parents together so they'd visit the school, meet the teachers, sit down themselves for a class and get to know the learning and teaching culture. We had to effect a coup in people's consciousness. People just turn their child over to the hands of strangers. That took two years. We put on good events and brief lessons. Parents got used to the idea of the school, met the teachers and learned Hebrew and Yiddish.
I recall all the extraordinary innovation and enthusiasm which Frida Zimnienė inspired. She drew in everyone to come and attend the Jewish school. She used to ask: "Are you a Jew or not? If you're a Jew, why aren't you attending?"
Education minister and academic and professor Henrikas Zabulis helped me very much. We received our premises. After two years of preparation we opened our first grade in Lithuanian. The first teacher at the primary school was my wife.
Miša Jokubas and I–he was my assistant then and the mathematics teacher–worked around the clock. Children studied during the day and in the evening the parents came to learn.
That was the beginning.
In 1991 Simas Levinas travelled to Israel and the well-known Jewish organization the Joint Distribution Committee appointed him to help re-establish Jewish communities in the Far East in Russia.
At that time Miša Jokubas became the principal of the Sholem Aleichem Jewish School and remained so for many years. Thirty years have passed since then. The school has become one of the best in Vilnius with many wanting to attend. Both Jews and Lithuanians, among others, attend the school. Dr. Ruth Reches took over as principal officially in 2020 after serving as acting principal for some time.

The winner of the competition will earn the $25,000 grand prize and be featured in an original video on FoodNetwork.com and in a feature in Food Network Magazine. Some of the rounds these bakers have to go through seem easy and some seem very difficult, but as a viewer, they're always a lot of fun to watch! In Christmas Cookie Challenge, host Eddie Jackson returns with lead judge Ree Drummond this holiday season to challenge festive and talented cookie makers. Each episode features five daring cookie makers proving their holiday skills through two rounds, as Eddie and Ree are joined by a rotating panel of guest judges, including Stephanie Boswell, Vivian Chan, Dan Langan, Jordan Pilarski, Gesine Prado, Aarti Sequeira, and Molly Yeh to help determine which bakers will have the best Christmas ever, walking away with a $10,000 prize. The prize isn't as big as the first show, but the challenges are just as difficult. You'd think cookie making and decorating isn't a hard thing, but you'd be wrong. Don't believe me? Watch the show! It's crazy.
On tonight's episode of Holiday Baking Championship, "Holiday Essentials," the pumpkin spice phenomenon hits the championship; for the pre-heat, nine bakers attempt to wow the judges with creative pumpkin spiciness; in the main heat, the bakers must combine a yule log with a classic holiday treat.
Then on tonight's episode of Christmas Cookie Challenge, "Christmas Vacation," five cookie makers enter the workshop to find host Eddie Jackson lounging in a beach chair under a palm tree; the bakers are challenged to create cookies perfect for a Christmas in the tropics.
Don't miss all the holiday baking fun tonight on Food Network starting at 9/8c.
I'll also be watching/DVRing 9-1-1 & Magnum P.I.
Bull is always a mixed surprise bag of television – drama and comedy treats for everyone. Last week's episode was a little heavier on the drama side of things because Marissa's husband was arrested for homicide by arson when his restaurant caught fire and the night custodian died. Marissa caused a few issues in her marriage when she had doubts about her husband's innocence, but in the end it was proven he didn't do it. It was his head chef who set the fire. Bull did a great job at being impartial, and hopefully now Marissa can learn to trust her husband a bit more.
On tonight's episode, "A Girl Without Feelings," Bull confronts his guilt over closing his psychiatric practice when a former patient goes on trial for killing her brother; Bull and Benny enter an insanity defense plea and aim to seat jurors who are sympathetic to mental illness.
To see if Bull can help this girl before it's too late, tune in to CBS at 10/9c.
I'll also be watching The Neighborhood, Magnum P.I., Happy Together, The Good Doctor, Manifest, 9-1-1, The Resident, The Voice, and Arrow.

Woodcut printed with hand-milled ink on Okawara paper, 37 5/8 x 62 3/4 inches. Edition of 10. Printed by Erika Schneider at Bleu Acier Inc., Tampa, FL. Published by Bleu Acier Inc. $5,000 (prepublication).
Paula Scher, You Me (2014).
In a Ted Talk delivered in 2008, the designer and artist Paula Scher said, "The best way to accomplish serious design … is to be totally and completely unqualified for the job." The observation is germane to the print she recently completed at Blue Acier, in which she decided to explore a new medium (for her) and wade into graphic diplomacy (of a sort). Titled You Me, her new woodcut is related to a poster design concerning peaceful coexistence Scher had made for an international competition sponsored by the Museum On the Seam in Jerusalem. The poster was never produced, and Scher turned to woodcut, whose traces of the hand, she believed, would humanize her message.
A typography wizard who already had an illustrious design career, Scher began exhibiting paintings in 2006, followed by screenprints based on the paintings. She had taken up painting to offset the long and tedious process of getting corporate approval for her famous 2002 Citibank logo (the one with the blue letters and the single red arc that conjures an umbrella). The images in her large paintings and screenprints are colorful maps dense with place names. Radiating outward from brightly hued continents, the names—of all different sizes and often loosened from the sites they designate—stream across the earth as if to erase geographical distinctions. The woodcut is much simpler, but these two short words are the heart of war and peace.
You Me sets those words at the center of a composition buzzing with energy. Appearing in off-white against a ruddy red ground, the words, frilly with scalloped edges, seem to radiate the surrounding white lines, which resemble a labyrinth or irregular double halo. Metaphorically alluding to the rift between Israel and Palestine, the composition represents both division and embeddedness: the paired words are both distinct and inextricably linked. The image feels serious in its message but playful in its blips and irregularities. Would that its spirit could ripple out to all the people and places on our planet searching to resolve the competing claims of separation and unity.

Human remains death 'not suspicious'
Newspaper: Reporter Series.'Story: Human remains have been found on land just off Scholes Lane, Cleckheaton.'Photo Date: 26/03/15
Published: 09:32 Monday 30 March 2015
The death of a man whose remains were found in Cleckheaton last week is not thought to be suspicious, police have said.
The remains were found on land off Scholes Lane last Wednesday afternoon.
A forensic post mortem has established that the body belonged to a man aged between 30 and 50 years old, though officers are still trying to determine the exact identity of the deceased.
Detective Inspector Mark Truelove, from Kirklees District CID, said: "As a result of the post mortem we do not believe the death was suspicious but further tests will now be undertaken to establish an identity."


If you do not like pork because you're one of those people who has "texture issues," or because a piece of pork truly traumatized you at some point in your life, you can skip this one.
On the other hand, if you don't like pork because every time your mom made you pork chops growing up, they turned out like black bricks of death and you had to smother them in ketchup just to make it to dessert, well then this is for you. My friend "Jennamafer" falls into this latter group and came to my place for dinner a couple weeks ago. When I told her what I was making, she said, "I don't like pork." Now she likey.
I found this recipe on the Shape magazine website a few months ago. It recommends serving it with barley, but I make it with quinoa (pronounced KEEN-wa). I realize most people ditch whole grains like barley and quinoa in favor of things like rice. However, I would recommend trying a whole grain, even if it's only for this recipe. They are better for you and really go better with this dish.
First the recipe, then the explainer. Gather your kitchen things and follow along.
Serves Four. Serving = 4 medallions and 1/2 c. of peas.
Active Cooking Time: 10-12 min.
1.Have all of the above ingredients chopped, sliced, measured and ready to go before you begin because the recipe moves fast.
2.In the saucepan, cook the barley or quinoa according to package directions. If you've bought unpackaged (bulk) quinoa or barley and don't know how to cook it, message me or buy this book. It's basically one part grain to two parts broth, brought to a boil for 10-15 minutes. In this case, add the frozen peas to the mix once the grain is almost fully cooked and allow them to finish cooking together. Turn the heat to the lowest level once they are done cooking and keep warm while doing the rest.
3.In the skillet, heat the oil on medium-high to high, until oil begins to "shimmer" or make little wavy patterns. Salt and pepper both sides of pork medallions and cook in skillet, about 2 inches on each side. Remove pork to a clean plate and set aside.
4.In same skillet, saute the red onion in the pan juices. Add all remaining ingredients and stir to combine to make the cranberry sauce . Add pork back into the pan with the cranberry sauce. Simmer two more minutes. Serve over quinoa/green pea mixture.
The cider vinegar, ground ginger and cranberry sauce. That's my beloved Wusthof Santoku knife.
This is what packaged pork tenderloin looks like in the meat section at the grocer.
The seasoned pork medallions, ready to dance in the pan.
You'll know to turn the pork when you can see the underside is done - look how the sides are white.
What the pork looks like right before you remove.
A tiny bit less than done because they'll finish cooking in the sauce.
See? Cooking in sauce. Pretty sauce.
The finished dish, served over green peas and quinoa.

Whither the Court of Appeals?
New report could revive debate on expanding the court's jurisdiction
By Peter Vieth, Virginia Lawyers Weekly – 2/3/2014
Expanding the jurisdiction of the Virginia Court of Appeals – limited by statute to only four areas of law – has been on the table practically since the court was established in 1985.
But new caseload figures and a short report from Virginia's two appellate courts could fuel new debate about the state's appeals system.
Statistics show a gradual decline in cases at the two top state courts, and the appellate judges raised no objection to expanding the workload of the Court of Appeals.
Now that a statistical report has emerged, one legislator suggested the issue is due for more independent study.
Legislators and legal observers in recent years questioned whether the Court of Appeals should be taking on more cases to ease the workload of the Supreme Court and ultimately offer review of more trial court decisions.
In December, the Judicial Council of Virginia provided caseload numbers for the Supreme Court and Court of Appeals in response to a request from the 2012 General Assembly. Their report was released on Jan. 7. In 2012, two delegates suggested the Supreme Court was turning away appeals because of its heavy caseload and urged study of the "jurisdictional capacity" of the Court of Appeals.
The Court of Appeals is limited by statute to hearing appeals in only four areas of the law: criminal (including traffic), domestic relations, workers' compensation and administrative law.
As a study resolution emerged from the 2012 Assembly, the Judicial Council was asked to look at whether the quality of appellate review would be served by expanding the list of case types handled by the Court of Appeals.
The response from the appellate courts was succinct. Writing for the Judicial Council, Supreme Court executive secretary Karl R. Hade said the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeals conducted a "detailed review" of its caseload data.
"Based upon this review, it was concluded that the current judicial capacity of the Court of Appeals, to continue quality and timely appellate review, would not be impaired if given additional jurisdiction provided it is given appropriate staffing levels and resources," Hade wrote in a Jan. 6 letter to the governor and Assembly members.
An increase in caseload would require additional resources "for optimal functioning of the Court," Hade added.
The numbers – essentially the same figures provided last spring in the courts' annual reports – show a steady decline in the number of appeals accepted by the Supreme Court, especially in criminal cases.
The reduced number of writs granted loosely tracks a reduced number of petitions filed – fewer litigants overall are asking for review. For the most recent five-year period, the high court saw a decrease of 15.3 percent in petitions. The trend continued in 2013, the court reported.
For the same period, the Court of Appeals experienced a steady decrease of 24.2 percent of total cases filed, the court reported, although early 2013 numbers show an uptick. More than 3,000 cases were filed with the CAV in 2008, only 2,356 in 2012.
Lawyers and legislators who examined the Judicial Council report drew few conclusions directly from the statistics provided.
"You can't really tell from the statistics just what they mean and the implications," said Roger T. Creager, a Richmond appellate lawyer.
Legislators who might act on the report said they hope to gather more information and take a wider look at the court system.
Suggestions in the past have ranged from eliminating the Court of Appeals altogether to making that intermediate court a first stop for every appeal.
Del. G. Manoli Loupassi, R-Richmond, said it would be appropriate to send the report back to the Boyd-Graves Conference, where a study panel postponed examination of the Court of Appeals' jurisdiction in 2012, deferring to the court study.
The Boyd-Graves Conference assembles lawyers, legislators, judges and academics to consider changes in the civil justice system.
Del. Gregory D. Habeeb, R-Salem, said he would like to see additional statistics. For instance, he wondered about the time an appeal takes from the filing of a notice of appeal to the conclusion. Habeeb said his perception is the process is quicker now.
The overall numbers may be down, Habeeb said, but added, "To me, the more important question is: Are people getting justice quickly?"
"I do not want to just pull stuff into the Court of Appeals just to keep them busy," Habeeb said.
Appellate lawyer Jeffrey M. Summers of Richmond said he would like to see analysis that tracks cases from trial courts on up. For instance, he suggested a comparison of the number of cases tried in juvenile and domestic relations courts with the number appealed to the court of appeals and then the number that go up to the Supreme Court.
"I think that would be a much more informative number," Summers said. "To get the right structure for the appellate courts, you have to look at the whole system."
Virginia Beach appellate lawyer L. Steven Emmert, who chaired the Boyd-Graves panel that looked at the issue in 2012, said the drop in appeals court filings might be attributed to the increased use of alternative dispute resolution as well as simple cost-aversion by businesses.
Litigants squeezed by the recession are resolving their cases out of court or simply choosing to live with an unfavorable decision rather than spend the money to appeal, Emmert suggested.
Emmert said another statistical concern is the disproportionate decline in appeals accepted by the Supreme Court, what he termed a "collapse in the writ market."
Emmert said the high court has gone from granting appeals in about 21 percent of civil cases presented each year to just 15.8 percent in 2011 and 15.4 percent in 2012.
The drop off is even steeper for criminal appeals, but those cases have already had a look by the Court of Appeals.
Emmert said he does not know why the Supreme Court is taking fewer civil cases for review – "That's court insider stuff," he said – but he views the numbers with some dismay, and not just because of the decline in work.
Fewer cases decided means fewer explanations of the contours of Virginia case law and fewer trial court errors being corrected, Emmert said.
Summers urged consideration of making civil appeals a matter of right at the intermediate appellate court, like the federal system. He said it's possible now to suffer a seven-figure judgment at trial and get no review.
He suggested perhaps the Court of Appeals provide automatic review of all civil cases, but not necessarily with oral argument in all appeals. That way, he said, everyone knows that – regardless of the trial outcome – somebody will take a look to see if there was error.
"Think what that would do for the sense of fairness of the litigants," he said.
Another idea would be to give the court the discretion to reject appeals up to a certain dollar level, with an appeal of right for everything above.
"I would like to see the court study married up to the appeal statistics better," Summers said. He said the Boyd-Graves process is probably the best place to crunch the numbers and study various models of appellate review.
Creager said the courts could make changes to reduce the time involved for each case, such as varying the amount of argument time allowed while increasing the page limit on briefs.
Harrisonburg lawyer C. Frank Hilton – a member of the original Boyd-Graves panel that looked at the issue, suggested it might be time to expand the Court of Appeals' civil jurisdiction.
"There are so many things that don't get a review because of the discretionary review of the Supreme Court," Hilton said. "We do not have a robust body of law on discovery issues," he said.

Have you ever puzzled over a biblical expression? Somehow it sounds a little strange to "taste and see" that God is good, doesn't it? And why did Abel's blood "cry out" to God from the ground? Most of us are used to these phrases and don't notice them; however, a secular, Western thinker will almost certainly find them very odd.
I remember wondering why my thinking and language seemed so different from the ancients. As a young seminary student, I studied advanced Hebrew, but was never taught anything about their way of thinking. Over the years I developed a great personal interest in their lives, customs, and expressions, and as a result, my eyes have been opened to the rich, layered treasures in the Holy Scriptures.
"Then on the third day Abraham lifted his eyes and saw the place afar off." Genesis 22:4.
"Now when Moses went into the tabernacle of meeting to speak with Him, he heard the voice of One speaking to him from above the mercy seat that was on the ark of the Testimony, from between the two cherubim…." Numbers 7:89.
"Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good…." Psalm 34:8.
The Bible abounds in other colorful (and concrete) descriptions like "stiff necked" (stubborn, like a mule—see 2 Chronicles 30:8); "hard hearted" (lacking passion—see 1 Samuel 6:6); "setting one's face" (determined to go—see Jeremiah 1:17); and "girding one's loins" (getting ready—also in Jeremiah 1:17).
God has a long nose?
This one puzzled me! As I studied the Hebrew word, af (ףאַ), or "anger," I discovered that it literally means "nose"! When a bull is angry, it's nostrils flare, it breathes hard, and snorts. With this in mind, to the ancients' way of thinking, the longer the nose, the longer it would take to expel the breath—and the slower one would be to anger.
But what about the New Testament books? Weren't they written in Greek?
Yes—but although the writers used that global language, they were most definitely Jews, and therefore, Hebrew thinkers. Consider how John speaks of Jesus: "That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of life." 1 John 1:1 (emphasis supplied). It is obvious that he thought in terms of his senses.
The ancients were also fond of using symbols, and while we may puzzle over them, every Jewish child was taught their meaning from a very early age. Just as the children of old, we must understand them, too, or be hopelessly lost in books like Daniel and Revelation. Worse yet, if we try using our logical (or Greek) thinking on them, we are sure to distort the Scriptures, twisting the verses around to explain what we believe, instead of what the authors intended.
In the months ahead, we'll discover many more aspects of Hebrew thinking. They will shed new and wonderful light on our study of the Bible as we look at it through the eyes of the ancients.

Life expectancy going backwards in 'many parts' of Scotland, report finds
Scott Macnab
Published: 12:16 Updated: 12:56 Wednesday 11 December 2019
Life expectancy is now going backwards in many parts of Scotland and has stalled in almost all areas, official figures have revealed.
Men can now expect to live to 77 in Scotland and women having a longer lifespan of 81.1, according to the latest figures covering the cohort of Scots born between 2016-18.
Life expectancy is falling in many parts of Scotland
Dundee, Inverclyde, the Borders and Ayrshire are all seeing falls in their life expectancy, according to the figures published by National records for Scotland.
Across the country, life expectancy for men fell by about two days a year, although it increased by just under a day a year for women compared with the 2012-14 cohort.

Although recent figures have shown a life expectancy stalling, a trend which is happening across the developed world, this is the first time there has been such a marked decline
Paul Lowe, the Chief Executive of National Records of Scotland and Registrar General for Scotland, said: "The new figures show that the stall in life expectancy growth which we have seen for Scotland as a whole is happening in almost all areas across Scotland.
"However, the rate of change varies amongst council areas with some slowing more than others and some showing falling life expectancy.
"The figures also continue to show that those living in less deprived areas are expected to live longer, healthier lives than those in more deprived areas."
A slowdown in improvements to deaths resulting from heart disease has been the main factor in the freeze in how long Scots are expected to live. The increase in drugs deaths in recent
years has also contributed the decrease, as well as growing rates of dementia as the population ages.
Males in the most deprived areas of Scotland could expect to live for 13.1 fewer years than those in the least deprived areas, while the equivalent gap for females was 9.8 years.
Deprivation has an even bigger effect on healthy life expectancy with males in the least deprived areas spending 23.0 extra years in good health compared to those in the most deprived areas. For females, the healthy life expectancy gap was 23.9 years.

Beta-amyloid plaque in three brains of people with Alzheimer's disease, left, and three brains of controls, right.
Most of the time, it seems like Alzheimer's disease drugs have the deck stacked against them.
There are only four approved drugs that are in use, and on average about 99% of all drugs in clinical trials never actually make it to approval.
In the last few years, cancer drugs have seen some major success in targeting very specific mutations in cancer cells, a type of "biomarker" that can be identified and measured through blood tests or biopsies.
Alzheimer's, on the other hand, has a bit harder time pinpointing these markers.
"We really do have biomarker envy and that has held us back in a way," Dr. Maria Carrillo, the chief scientific officer of the Alzheimer's Association, told Business Insider.
There are two main changes that happen in the brain that signal Alzheimer's. One marker is the weirdly folded amyloid-beta proteins that form plaques on the brain. The other marker is tau proteins that tangle up as the disease progresses.
For a long time, the best way to determine if a person had Alzheimer's was to look at their behavior, because it's not easy to find proteins amid everything else happening in the brain.
"To find one protein in the brain is to find a grain of sand in a kiddie pool," Carrillo said. "And then when you move to cerebral-spinal fluid, it's like a grain of sand in an Olympic pool." Not to mention, once you get to the blood, it is diluted so much that it is like trying to find a grain of sand in an ocean.
But not screening for these proteins also means that some of the people going into clinical trials for Alzheimer's drugs might not actually have the disease, which makes it even more challenging to make a drug that's successful.
In the past few years, diagnostics that look at the disease's biological pathology have been getting better. Now there are ways to image tau and amyloid in the brain, as well as spinal-tap procedures (think epidurals, but pulling fluid out instead of pushing pain-relieving medicine in) that can help screen for the tau proteins. And these methods will be key to getting Alzheimer's treatments to work.
"How can pharma get more accurate and better at shots on goal? It's definitely going to be biomarker-driven," Carillo said. "And then, of course, we just need to get better drugs that target the right thing."
