Those individuals who wish to escape an addiction are faced with many potential recovery options. There is no single approach that has proved to be effective for everyone, but there is almost certain to be an option out there that will suit each individual. For some this may take the form of a recovery fellowship such as Alcoholics Anonymous while for others it may be some type of therapy. One of the paths that people can take away from addiction is rational emotive behavior therapy.
Rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT pronounced rebbit) is a therapeutic intervention and it can also be described as a philosophy for living. It was developed by an American psychologist called Albert Ellis in 1955. One of the underlying principles in this approach is that it isn't the external events that lead to emotional upset but instead it is the beliefs the individual holds about these events. In other words, people get to choose how they react to unfortunate occurrences – they can act in ways that are healthy or in ways that are unhealthy.
The goal of REBT is develop an acceptance of reality and to learn how to react to events in healthy ways. Some have suggested that REBT shares a similar view about suffering, and the causes of suffering, as Buddhism. In fact Ellis was writing a book on the similarities between these two approaches at the time of his death.
* There is an activating experience (adversity). This could be anything that happens to an individual in life – these events could be considered neutral until the individual gives them meaning.
* The individual develops beliefs about the experience. In many instances these beliefs will be irrational and unhealthy and lead to suffering.
* The fact that the individual has developed such beliefs about the event means that they are faced with consequences.
* I must do well and win the approval of others or else I am no good. This belief can easily lead to shame, guilt, and depression.
* Other people must do "the right thing" or else they are no good and deserve to be punished. This type of thinking can cause people to act violently or become filled with rage.
* Life must be easy, without discomfort or inconvenience. If the individual believes this they become full of self-pity.
* People suffer discomfort because they develop unhealthy and inflexible beliefs.
* The reason why people continue to suffer is that they cling onto irrational beliefs. Ellis referred to this as a core "musturbatory" philosophy.
* The individual escapes suffering by working hard to change their irrational beliefs. This will take time and practice.
* They accept themselves unconditionally.
* They accept other people for who they are.
* They develop acceptance of life and the ups and downs that come with it.
The REBT view on addiction is that people engage in such unhealthy behaviors because of their irrational beliefs. The initial reason for why the individual turns to substance abuse may be guilt, shame, or depression. Once the individual is able to eliminate the irrational beliefs that are driving the alcohol or drug abuse, by developing insight and learning acceptance, it becomes easier for them to give up their dependence so that they can build healthier and more fulfilling lives. The aim of REBT then is not just to get the individual to stop the destructive behavior, but to eliminate the beliefs that led them to such behaviors in the first place.
Albert Ellis did not belief that Alcoholics Anonymous (or indeed any of the 12 Step programs) was the perfect solution for this type of self-destructive behavior. He did not believe that such an approach could work for everyone – particularly those individuals who are not spiritually inclined. His main concern was that such approaches encouraged the individual to feel powerless. In his book When AA Doesn't Work For You: Rational Steps to Quitting Alcohol he offers suggests for how the individual can delve deep so they can find the irrational beliefs that are driving the behavior. His approach is an underlying foundation principle of the Self Management and Recovery Training (SMART) approach to addiction recovery.

Here are a few of the comments submitted by Additional Signers of the petition:
Julia Ganson Religious Society of Friends, Cortland, NY
Ben Salmon seems like a perfect candidate for sainthood, living his Catholic faith (not necessarily the political position of the Catholic Church) and serving as a role model for loving your fellow humans and working toward world peace.
MaryLouise Chesley-Cora Parish of the Resurrection, Hockessin, DE
I strive to live the Beatitudes of the non-violent Jesus, the Christ. I strongly support Ben Salmon's cause.
Msgr. Charles E. DeRuisseaux Diocese of Manchester, Manchester, NH
I support the process of pursuing the study of advancing the cause of Ben Salmon. May he be recognized by the Church as a saint for his stance in favor of peace for which he suffered. I believe we need more lay models of holiness so everyone can realize we are ALL called to be saints at our baptism. Sainthood is not just for founders of religious orders who have large communities pushing their Cause.
Patrick Henry Walla Walla, WA
The Church has officially called for Gospel nonviolence as the path to peace. Ben Salmon got there before most of us and the Church itself. Let's reward this luminary for his example.

The solution leverages DSE and DSE Graph to integrate the various data silos in manufacturing and operational processes. The solution also leverages DSE to establish a digital replica of data relationships in the manufacturing process for factories and warehouses with IoT data.


To prevent pain, need balanced pull of muscles, as joints rotate.
Without balance, joint axes ("instant center of motion") will move incorrectly causing stress and wear on joints, producing misalignment and pain.
1. Force couples: Muscles pull in different directions, must be balanced to rotate joints around an axis correctly or will cause pain.
E.g. upper and lower trap during upward rotation. If lower trap is weak, scapula will stay downwardly tipped, produce impingement at the shoulder.
E.g. TFL with glut maximus during hip abduction (also anterior and posterior gluteus medius). Weight bearing, would cause hip rotation if unbalanced, cause knee and ankle misalignment.
E.g. During elevation of the arm, if posterior shld cuff muscles are too weak, will get anterior subluxation of The humeral head by the deltoid and pect major.
2. Muscle length: Muscles that are too long or too short will cause abnormal motion, pain.
Muscles habitually kept in a stretched position grow more sarcomeres, cannot strongly contract in shortened range, sometimes called stretch weakness. The muscles become longer.
Muscles habitually kept in a shortened position lose sarcomeres cannot be lengthened normally. The muscles become shorter.
downwardly tipped, causing impingement at the shoulder during reaching.
E.g. if have tight pects and subscapularis, strengthening middle trap, infraspinatus and teres minor may just produce less shoulder motion overall.
General rule: To shorten a posturally lengthened muscle, exercise it in its SHORTENED RANGE, against MINIMAL RESISTANCE.
E.g. if have forward, downwardly tipped scapulae, strengthen stretched lower trapezius by doing depression with the shoulder in full flexion against a wall or prone.
3. Muscle recruitment - The CNS can incorrectly learn to use one muscle rather than another, causing weakness in the underused muscle, tightness in the over used muscle.
4. Relative flexibility - "Stretchability" or flexibility is associated with muscle 1) tightness 2) looseness and with CNS recruitment.
generally in the segment that gets too much motion.
General rule: proximal muscles should stabilize segments so most of the motion occurs at the distal joint (or get pain syndrome).
E.g. Hip should bend, not lumbar spine during bending/lifting.
E.g. If abdominals are more flexible than rectus femoris, as knee is flexed, rectus will pull pelvis into anterior tilt, cause lumbar pain.
E.g. If bending "at the waist" occurs at the lumbar spine instead of at the hip, get lumbar pain. (common in tight hamstrings).

Biography – L'HEUREUX, JEAN – Volume XIV (1911-1920) – Dictionary of Canadian Biography
L'HEUREUX, JEAN, interpreter; b. c. 1837 in Lower Canada; d. 19 March 1919 in Midnapore, Alta.
Historians once said that Jean L'Heureux was born in L'Acadie, Lower Canada, but this claim proved to be an error. There are sources stating his birthplace was in France, at Trois-Rivières, near Saint-Hyacinthe, and at Longueuil. L'Heureux himself commented that his mother was buried "only a few miles" from Montreal. Similarly he is alleged to have attended the seminary in Montreal, Saint-Hyacinthe, or Trois-Rivières, but none has a record of him. However, he was obviously well educated and, according to recollections of Oblate priests, he had studied for the priesthood but was expelled because he was either caught as a thief or exposed as a homosexual.
An early mention of L'Heureux in western Canada appears in a letter from Father Albert Lacombe to Bishop Alexandre-Antonin Taché* in 1861 when he refers to the "famous L'Heureux." Correspondence indicates that L'Heureux wanted to work for the Oblate order. During that summer he stayed at St Albert mission, just north of Fort Edmonton (Edmonton), but was caught in the act of sodomy. The priests arranged for him to join a band of Blackfoot who had come to trade and he travelled with them to Montana. During this time he donned a cassock and told the Indians he was a priest labouring for the Oblates. In Montana he passed himself off to the Jesuits as a secular priest. In the spring of 1862, according to a letter written to Methodist missionary Thomas Woolsey by a Stoney Indian, L'Heureux saved some Stoney from starving to death and from being killed by Blood Indians. The Stoney praised him and identified him as "the priest at the Chief Mountain." In the summer L'Heureux returned to St Albert indicating he had built a church for the Jesuits at Chief Mountain, on the present Alberta–Montana boundary. "It appears," wrote Father Lacombe, "that he has deceived the Jesuit fathers even better than he has me."
Later that summer L'Heureux sent a package of gold-bearing sand to a trader in Fort Benton, Mont., stating that he could guide prospectors to the gulch where it had been found. A party of 11 men immediately set out and travelled north almost to Fort Edmonton without finding either L'Heureux or gold. Some were convinced that he had deliberately victimized them while others believed he had changed his mind, fearing an influx of whites into Indian lands.
Over the next several years L'Heureux lived with the Blackfoot, often wearing a cassock and performing baptisms and marriages. He was despised and vilified by the clergy and fur traders both for being homosexual and for pretending to be a priest. He was also mistrusted because of his complete devotion to the Indians who, he had discovered, did not condemn homosexuality. He took the Blackfoot name of Nio'kskatapi, or Three Persons, after the Holy Trinity.
Although he was anathema to the Catholic clergy and the Hudson's Bay Company, both made use of him. The traders supplied him with goods and arranged for him to bring the Blackfoot in to trade; the priests used him as a guide and interpreter. Also, in 1865 the latter provided him with a baptismal register and permitted him to act as a participant when a priest administered sacraments among the Blackfoot.
L'Heureux's first concern appeared to be the Indians. In 1865 he brought Father Lacombe to a Blackfoot camp during a measles epidemic. When Lacombe fell victim to the disease, according to Father Paul-Émile Breton, "L'Heureux took excellent care of the young priest and succeeded in saving his life." L'Heureux then rode to Fort Edmonton to report the epidemic and to beg for medicines to help the Indians. In 1869 he wrote to the Sisters of Charity of the Hôpital Général of Montreal at St Albert, describing the symptoms of a Stoney woman who was subject to fits and seeking their advice and prayers. In 1879 he begged the North-West Mounted Police at Fort Calgary (Calgary) to send food to the Blackfoot who were starving. And in 1883 he travelled in mid winter to report a typhoid epidemic among the Blackfoot and to request medicine for them.
Because he was such an embarrassment to the Oblates, they seldom mentioned him in their historical accounts. For example, one of the most colourful events of Father Lacombe's career occurred in 1865 when he was in a Blackfoot camp which was attacked by Cree. Lacombe rushed out of a lodge and tried to stop the fighting but was wounded by a spent bullet. Although the battle was told and retold in Catholic literature, including an account by Lacombe, no reference was made to the fact that L'Heureux was by the priest's side during the entire incident. Only in interviews with Indians is this fact revealed.
In 1869 the American army killed a large number of Peigan Indians in an attack on the Marias River, Mont. This massacre came at the culmination of a series of incidents between tribes of the Blackfoot confederacy and Montanans. Many Peigan and Blood fled across the border into Canada for the winter and, fearing to return, they sent L'Heureux as their peace emissary. He drafted a letter to Brigadier-General Alfred Sully, dictated by the chiefs, which stated that "the Three-Persons [L'Heureux] will go to your lodge. He will give news to you that our will is all good. . . . We pray for peace with your white children." The letter was forwarded to Washington and, as a result, better relations were restored.
L'Heureux's literary talents were exhibited on a number of occasions. In 1871 he prepared a manuscript, "Description of a portion of the Nor-West and the Indians." In 1873 he did a map and census of Blackfoot territory for the HBC trader at Rocky Mountain House (Alta). Acting on behalf of the chiefs of the Blackfoot, Blood, and Peigan, in 1876 he drafted a "Petition of . . . chiefs of the Chokitapia or Blackfeet Indians of North West Territory." In 1878 he compiled an English-Blackfoot dictionary for a trader at Fort Calgary, and in 1884 he wrote "Ethnological notes on the astronomical customs and religious ideas of the Chokitapia or Blackfeet Indians, Canada." The latter was prepared for submission to the British Association for the Advancement of Science.
Our Lady of Peace mission was built near the future site of Calgary in 1873, and L'Heureux spent the winter of 1874–75 there as interpreter and assistant to the resident priest, Constantine Michael Scollen. The following year he brought Blackfoot chief Old Sun [Natos-api*] and his band to the mission.
In 1877, when Treaty No.7 was negotiated between the Blackfoot tribes and the Canadian government, Lieutenant Governor David Laird tried to engage L'Heureux as his interpreter. But L'Heureux indicated that he would be interpreting for Crowfoot [Isapo-muxika*] and the other chiefs. However, he did provide the commissioners with a list of chiefs and bands. Frank Oliver*, who attended the event, commented, "He stood unswervingly with the Indians as an Indian." L'Heureux also inscribed the Blackfoot names on the treaty document and signed as a witness.
L'Heureux accompanied the Blackfoot into Montana in pursuit of the diminished herds of buffalo in 1879. While there, he was approached by Louis Riel*, who wanted his help in seizing the Canadian west in order to create a special territory for the Indian and Métis people. L'Heureux informed the authorities, and when members of the tribe went to Fort Walsh (Sask.) that autumn to collect their treaty money, he was hired by the Indian affairs branch as an interpreter. The Blackfoot returned to Canada in 1881 to settle on their reserve east of Fort Calgary. He stayed with them and was an employee of the Department of Indian Affairs for the next ten years. He accompanied the chiefs on a trip to Regina in 1884 to meet Lieutenant Governor Edgar Dewdney, remained with the Blackfoot and counselled peace during the uneasy period of the North-West rebellion, and in 1886 was the interpreter for the "loyal" chiefs (Crowfoot, Red Crow [Mékaisto*], and others) during a trip to Montreal and Ottawa.
L'Heureux was dismissed by the department in 1891 after an Anglican missionary accused him of showing favouritism to the Roman Catholic Church. An investigation showed that he had been giving religious instruction to pre-school Blackfoot children to assure their admittance into the Catholic mission. L'Heureux moved to Father Lacombe's hermitage at Pincher Creek and then retreated into the foothills where he became a virtual recluse. In 1912 he was admitted to the Lacombe Home in Midnapore, still wearing his cassock and clerical collar. He died there in 1919 and was listed in the church records as a "lay missionary."

Keisha Gilles
I am a theater artist who guides humans as they grow in their artistry through light, laughter and love. Light, for times when we allow the shadows of doubt and fear to dim the glow. Laughter, for times when perfectionism and ambition make mistakes serious instead of opportunities to learn. Love, for the sensitive soul who honors me and the world by sharing their art. Currently, I'm working toward a degree in social work and applying that knowledge to my teaching artistry. Recently, I was on the national tour of Disney's Aladdin. I made my Broadway debut with The Book of Mormon. I've also been on tour with The Book of Mormon, played The Ghost of Christmas Present in A Christmas Carol at Hanover Theatre, BJ in Smokey Joe's Cafeat Stages St. Louis and Marta in Company at Playhouse on Park.

I was born in Buffalo NY. Raised in a Puerto Rican household, at a young age I fell in love with films and tv shows. I would always try to recreate them and perform in front of family, that is where I began my love for acting and the arts. From age 8 I began studying the craft and along the way fell in love with sports as well. I always felt like the two fields blended similar ideals and gave me a sense of purpose. I graduated highschool with a Theatre Arts diploma and began studying Acting at the Conservatory of Theatre Arts at SUNY Purchase. There I dove into who I was as a person/artist and how I can contribute my talents to the world. Along the way I fell in love with playwriting/screenwriting, found purpose in nature walks, and found a few other new hobbies like listening to podcasts, music genres etc. Though graduating during the pandemic left all types of questions to be answered for myself, I never gave up on my purpose. I am very grateful for the life moments that have made me who I am today.

Before and After: The West Has Lost 63 Trillion Gallons of Water During Drought
Rid 8:00:00 AM News, Viral Stuff
It's no secret that California is in the grips of an absolutely brutal drought. But how does it compare historically?
The West has been suffering from a severe drought since 2013 and, in some cases, much longer than that. Conditions are particularly acute in California, where close to 60% of the state is experiencing "exceptional" drought after three years of below average rainfall. This is the worst category according to the U.S. Drought Monitor.
According to a new study published in the journal Science, the regional drought has cost the West about 240 gigatons of surface to near-surface water, or about 63 trillion gallons of water. This is equivalent to covering the entire western U.S. with a four-inch layer of water, the study found.
The study, which used GPS data, found that in response to the lack of surface water, land masses across the West have been rising, especially in California's Sierra Nevada Mountain range. In other words, the drought is actually moving mountains.
On August 26, Trinity Lake, which can hold 2.4 million acre-feet of water, had just 29% of capacity, and the Shasta reservoir on the Sacramento River had 30% of its capacity, according to the California Department of Water Resources. The Oroville reservoir, which can hold 3.5 million acre-feet of water, was at just 31% of capacity.
Lake Mead, which is North America's largest manmade reservoir, dropped below 1,082 feet above sea level in July, setting a record for the lowest it's been since the Hoover Dam was built in the 1930s. The reservoir, which helps supply water to Las Vegas, has been depleted by a drought that has lasted for more than a decade in the Southwest. Climate change is expected to continue to push that region into a hotter and drier era.
These before and after images show the startling decline in California's lakes and reservoirs during the intense drought.

The Cottage Grove United Church of Christ had its beginnings in 1858 when the First Congregational Church was organized. In 1874, the St. Matthew's Evangelical Church was organized. The churches were across the road from each other at 70th Street and Lamar Avenue in Old Cottage Grove. In 1963, the churches merged to become the Cottage Grove United Church of Christ.
(Note: In 1957 at the national level, a merger took place between the Congregational, Christian, Evangelical, and Reformed churches.)
The First Congregational Church was organized in 1858, but the first church was built in 1868 and now stands at its original location at 70th and Lamar. This building is presently known as the Masonic Hall. Pioneer English settlers from Maine and Massachusetts started the church.
The first St. Matthew's Evangelical Church was built in 1874. The people who established this church came from Germany, and settled in Old Cottage Grove. That church was moved off the property in 1954 when the new church was built.
As part of the merger in 1963, it made sense to use the newer of the two existing buildings so what was St. Matthew's became Cottage Grove United Church of Christ. The latest addition was added in 2006 giving us the present building.
The real history of the church organization of CGUCC is made up of real relationships, real people, and real stories that have happened over the last 160 years and will continue well into the future. Our faith is 2000 years old. Our thinking is not. Come and join with us in being a part of writing the history of CGUCC in this 21st Century.

Notes: Vanguard was an emergency project to produce a major capital ship rapidly enough to serve in World War II, utilizing the four available twin-15in turrets saved from the light battlecruisers Courageous and Glorious when they were converted to aircraft carriers in the 1920s. Because the main armament is the longest lead time article in producing a battleship, this lengthened version of the King George V class stood a better chance of being completed than the 16in-gunned Lion class that was begun in late 1939 (but suspended before launching). Her marked shear forward and transom stern made her a much better sea boat than previous British battleships.

Таишевский (Каза́нский) медеплави́льный заво́д — металлургический завод, действовавший в Казанском уезде с 1743 до 1851 года. Завод дал начало городу Кукмор.

История

XVIII век
К концу 1730-х годов Анцубский медеплавильный завод, принадлежавший братьям Семёну и Петру Иноземцевым, испытывал трудности из-за истощения рудников и маловодности заводского пруда. Иноземцевы приняли решение о строительстве в 5 верстах от Анцубского нового медеплавильного завода на реке Таишевке. Земля под строительство была арендована у ясачных татар. Указ Генерал-берг-директориума с разрешением на строительство был подписан 21 июля 1741 года.

Строительство продолжалось в течение 1741—1743 годов, часть оборудования и материалов перевозилась с закрывшегося Анцубского завода. Иноземцевы не стали сооружать новую плотину, а для обеспечения завода водой построили отводной канал от реки Таишевки, в котором установили водяные колёса. Первая плавка меди состоялась 16 сентября 1743 года.

В 1743 году Таишевский завод выплавил 227 пудов меди, в 1748 году — 1200 пудов. Товарная медь поступала в казну, в том числе на Аннинский монетный двор. По данным 1745 года, в составе завода действовали 4 медеплавильных печи, 1 гармахерский горн, 24 печи обжига руды и вспомогательное оборудование. В середине 1740-х годов руда поставлялась с 6 рудников, находившихся на расстоянии от 7 до 12 вёрст от завода.

После смерти  в 1751 году между его наследниками начались долгие имущественные споры. В итоге Таишевский завод перешёл в собственность его сына Асафа (Иосафа) и брата . С этого периода на Таишевский завод для перечистки стала поступать черновая медь с Иштеряковского завода, находившегося на расстоянии в 220 вёрст. В 1754 году была построена пятая медеплавильная печь. В начале 1750-х годов средняя себестоимость пуда таишевской меди составляла 4 рубля 50 копеек.

В 1760 году Таишевский и Иштеряковский заводы в 7 печах суммарно выплавили 2420 пудов меди. В 1772 году при заводе числились 546 приписных крестьян и 139 вольнонаёмных работников.

Во время Крестьянской войны Таишевский завод простаивал с 1773 до 1774 года. Около 70 заводских крестьян присоединилось к повстанцам. В 1775 году производство было восстановлено, за этот года было выплавлено 3236 пудов меди. По состоянию на 1774 год, в составе завода действовали 5 медеплавильных печей, 2 кузнечных горна, гармахерский и штыковой горны и 14 обжигальных горнов. Штат завода состоял их 338 крепостных мастеровых и работных людей.

К концу XVIII века парк оборудования Таишевского завода состоял из 5 медеплавильных печей, гармахерского и штыкового горнов. На предприятии работали 449 мастеровых и крепостных крестьян. Также на некоторых работах привлекались вольнонаёмные рабочие. В 1796 году завод перешёл в собственность многочисленных наследников , что обусловило сложности в управлении, финансовые трудности и снижение объёмов производства. В 1791 году было произведено 1349 пудов меди, в 1794 году — 136 пудов, в 1796 году — 895 пудов, в 1798 году — 138 пудов. В целом за 1783—1795 годы Таишевский завод выплавил 26,3 тыс. пудов меди. Средняя годовая производительность завода в этот период составляла более 2 тыс. пудов меди. В 1790—1795 годах этот показатель снизился до 0,9—1,3 тыс. пудов. В 1797 году завод не действовал.

XIX век
В начале XIX века объёмы производства также имели значительные колебания от года к году. В 1809 году на Таишевском заводе числились 2 медеплавильный печи и 203 крепостных рабочих. В 1811 году было выплавлено 2061 пудов меди, в 1815 году — только 55 пудов.

В 1826 году Таишевский завод был продан . Новый владелец сумел наладить производство, в 1827 году завод выплавил 3137 пудов меди. В дальнейшем из-за истощения рудников объёмы производства вновь стали снижаться. В 1835 году при заводе числились 455 душ мужского пола и 596 душ женского пола. В 1843 году из-за долгов Ярцова Таишевский завод был передан в казённое управление.

В 1851 году завод перешёл во владение наследниц   и . В этом же году предприятие было уничтожено сильным пожаром. Владельцы не нашли средств для восстановления производства, и завод был закрыт.

За 108 лет работы Таишевский завод совместно с Иштеряковским выплавил 222 тыс. пудов меди.

9 октября 1853 года единственная владелица Таишевского и Иштеряковского заводов  продала свои имения с недействующими заводами тайному советнику Ивану Кириловичу Рашету.

Home Life Faith Jehovah's Witnesses' year without knocking on doors
Jehovah's Witnesses' year without knocking on doors
For many Jehovah's Witnesses the change from ringing doorbells and knocking on doors to making phone calls and writing letters expanded and invigorated their ministry. Valley News/Courtesy photo
It's been one year since Jehovah's Witnesses worldwide adjusted their hallmark methods of sharing comfort and hope from the scriptures due to the pandemic.
For many, the change from ringing doorbells and knocking on doors to making phone calls and writing letters expanded and invigorated their ministry.
"Witnesses have embraced this shift, finding the good in these trying times," Joseph Castano said. He reports a 30% increase in the Witnesses' preaching activity in his region of northern Virginia and nearby parts of West Virginia. "In fact, I hear many saying, 'I'm able to do more now.'"
In March 2020, the some 1.3 million Witnesses in the United States suspended their door-to-door and face-to-face forms of public ministry and moved congregation meetings to videoconferencing.
"It has been a very deliberate decision based on two principles: our respect for life and love of neighbor," Robert Hendriks, U.S. spokesman for Jehovah's Witnesses, said. "But we are still witnesses and, as such, we must testify about our faith. So it was inevitable that we would find a way to continue our work."
In the bitterly cold winters of Arden Hills, Minnesota, Terri Whitmore normally bundles up for the door-to-door ministry in a long down coat and snow boots – sometimes with removable cleats to help navigate icy sidewalks.
Now she sits at her dining room table, sips on hot tea, and calls people on her cellphone to share the same message. In December, she conducted more than twice as many Bible studies than in any prior month. "I'm having a blast," she said. "After a nice phone call, it energizes you. You can't wait to make the next call."
Her "go-to" topics for conversation with her neighbors are COVID-19, civil unrest and government. "Some people feel like they have nothing secure to hold on to," she said. "The power of God's word is amazing. You can just share a scripture and you feel like they're settling down."
Nearly 51,000 people in the United States last year made a request for a Witness to contact them, either through a local congregation or jw.org, the organization's official website, according to Hendriks. Since the outbreak, the Witnesses have followed up on these requests via letters and phone calls instead of in person visits.
"Our love for our neighbors is stronger than ever," Hendriks said. "In fact, I think we have needed each other more than ever. We are finding that people are perplexed, stressed and feeling isolated. Our work has helped many regain a sense of footing – even normalcy – at a very unsettled time."
For Kayla McFadden of Temecula, the shift to remote preaching work allowed her to increase her preaching activities and gain a renewed sense of purpose. "Keeping a regular routine in my ministry during this pandemic has helped me to have some stability," McFadden said. "This has also helped me to be more positive and happy by reaching out to upbuild others during this time."
The 33-year-old has relied on making phone calls and writing letters as safe alternative ways of reaching people in the area. "It's helped me to be more thoughtful of those in the community, especially ones I visited regularly," McFadden explained, adding that she has also been able to work on bettering herself as a person, as well as "improving my skills and the quality of my ministry."
In addition, McFadden says her family has grown to be more connected during the past year, which has contributed to peace in the home. "It's helped us learn to be more adaptable to changing circumstances and to look for the positive in light of a difficult situation," she said.
In the rural areas of Salina, Kansas, where the wheat and corn fields stretch for acres, the Milbradt family sometimes drives miles from one house to the next to reach their neighbors. Now, instead of buying gasoline to fill up their vehicle for the ministry, they spend money on paper, envelopes, stamps and crayons.
"We look for ways to add variety to our ministry," Zeb Milbradt said. He and his wife, Jenny, help their boys — Colton, 8, and Benjamin, 6 — write letters to children's book authors, local police and hospital workers. Sometimes the boys even include with the letters hand-drawn pictures of the Bible's promise of a global paradise.
"We've been able to get the message to people who we wouldn't necessarily reach otherwise," Jenny Milbradt said.
A letter Benjamin sent to nurses at a regional health center included a quote from the Bible's prophecy at Isaiah 33:24 of a coming time when no one will say, "I am sick." The center's marketing secretary replied to Benjamin, informing him that she scanned and emailed his letter to 2,000 employees. It "made so many people smile," she said.
Witnesses have also made a concerted effort to check on distant friends and family — sometimes texting links to Bible-based articles on jw.org that cover timely topics, such as isolation, depression and how to beat pandemic fatigue.
"Former Bible students have started studying again," Tony Fowler, who helps organize the ministry in the northern portion of Michigan's Lower Peninsula, said.
"Colleagues at work have now started to show interest. Some have started Bible studies with family members who showed very little interest before the pandemic."
Castano has been reaching out to Witnesses who had long ago stopped associating with fellow Witnesses. "The pandemic has reignited their spirituality," he said, adding that many are attending virtual meetings with some sharing in telephone witnessing and letter writing even after decades of inactivity. "It's been pretty outstanding," he said.
Fowler and Castano both report about a 20% increase in online meeting attendance. But perhaps the most significant growth is in an area that cannot be measured by numbers.
"I think we've grown as a people," Fowler said. "We've grown in appreciation for other avenues of the ministry, our love for our neighbor, and love for one another. We're a stronger people because of all of this, and that's a beautiful thing to see."

Remembering Fasih Bokhari
The writer is author of 'Military Inc', and served as former director of naval research.
If they still made men like that, one would certainly want to see more like the late Admiral (r) Fasih Bokhari. The former naval chief lost his battle against cancer on November 24, 2020 – a disease he fought as stoically as his enemies at war.
Apart from his stellar career in the Pakistan Navy as a submariner, which he then went to command in 1997 until his resignation in 1999, there are many who will remember Admiral Bokhari for his gentle demeanor, and the kindness and respect he showed others. There is certainly not a moment that he didn't amaze me for the fact that, despite being one of the four four-star commanders of the armed forces, he never exhibited arrogance of power. He could be challenged, was eager to learn, engage with others, and show respect to women that you may not find amongst many of the men of his background. Indeed, he had the posture of an educated and sophisticated man.
Mariners always claim that they are different from other military men. Having observed Admiral Bokhari since 1998, when I went to work at the naval headquarters on his request, I understood the notion more. Of course, individual personality has a decisive bearing but the miles of endless sea – with its vastness, darkness and grandeur – gives naval personnel a different perspective of space and time. Perhaps it was because of this mariner's lens that he could think more strategically about his organization, the enemy, and both war and peace.
Admiral Bokhari and I didn't know each other before 1997, which was the first time we met – at a passing out banquet at the Naval War College in Lahore where I had lectured a few times. He asked me if I would come and work for the navy. I had just returned from the UK with a PhD in War Studies. Admiral Bokhari wanted to use my knowledge and ability to think critically to turn his service around. He trusted his men but was conscious that to bring changes in the service to make it cost-effective and efficient he needed a non-bureaucratic lens.
He had inherited the navy from Admiral Mansoor-ul-Haq, whose involvement with the French Agosta-90B submarine kickback deal had left the service tainted. It was essential to pull the Pakistan Navy out from under those dark shadows. Indeed, Admiral Bokhari sat down with a team of management experts and about 50 of his men from various ranks to redefine the mission statement, bring clarity as to who was the navy's key clientele, and right-size the organization.
I was asked to rewrite the standard-operating-procedures (SOP) for naval weapons procurement. But he also understood that a military institution is grounded in traditions, which would make it an uphill task to anchor change – he was not only a bridge for my ideas but also the one who translated the thoughts institutionally. His idea was that since you can't have a new team, one has to work with whatever human resources are available. The naval chief's office was fun. He had brought a naval historian, (late) Commander Najeeb Anjum to work as his secretary.
Admiral Bokhari's journey to change, however, was cut short in 1999 due to the Kargil conflict. Besides that, the naval chief and air chief, Air marshal P Q Mehdi were taken by utter surprise by General Pervez Musharraf's Kargil adventure; Bokhari in fact had little sympathy for the plan, and even other developments during that period. He told British journalist Owen Bennett-Jones in an on-record interview after retirement that he was not in favor of testing nuclear weapons in 1998. This was not to compromise Pakistan's security but a different measure of the gains that Pakistan could make by having the capability and yet not testing. Later, the navy was struck by financial troubles caused due to the American arms embargo that did not bode well for fulfillment of the Agosta-90B procurement project.
The Kargil operation put the army and the civilian government on a collision course. The conflict resulted in Bokhari resigning in protest as the government gave Pervez Musharraf the additional assignment of chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee (JCSC) that violated the unwritten norm of the position circulating amongst the three services. Indeed, it was the navy's turn then. Although it is a matter of conjecture as to how effective the former naval chief would have been in the position of a four-star general meant to represent operational interests and plans of all three services, he certainly had a different view about things.
Notwithstanding that India-Pakistan peace looks impossible now, Admiral Bokhari believed that rapprochement between the two neighbors was in their strategic interest, especially Pakistan's. He had that conversation with former prime minister Nawaz Sharif and wanted to take the lead in reaching out to the navy on the other side to come together and solve the Sir Creek dispute that had a bearing on the issue of the absence of maritime boundary. He continued to pursue the idea even after retirement as part of a track-II group.
I got another chance to work with him when he was appointed in 2010 as chairman of the National Accountability Bureau (NAB). Despite the fact that he sought this position, this is not where his strength was nor where his heart lay. He was at his best as a naval and military strategic thinker. Indeed, for me every visit to his home in Chak Shehzad was a treat to hear him speak about history, politics and strategy. There were times when I listened and others when I argued passionately, arguments he would hear out with the same kindness he showed to his two daughters. We understood that each wanted the betterment of Pakistan in our different ways and that we were each willing to dialogue.
Now that he is gone, I will miss him even more for the conversations that spread across the globe and opened my mind to the universe of a mariner's outlook. There is many a sane soul in Islamabad who will also miss his presence. They say that before he died, he was worried about where the country was drifting.

            Technical notes:

            As an SPV/light wallet, Bitcoin Wallet follows the chain of the most proof-of-work (sometimes also called the \"longest chain\", the \"winning chain\" or the \"Bitcoin blockchain\").
            You will only receive incoming payments and be able to pay on that chain.
            No guarantees can be made about Bitcoins on minority chains, that is chains with less proof-of-work.

            In the past, minority chains have always become irrelevant very quickly.
            If you desire to follow a minority chain anyway, you are advised to use the \"trusted peer\" feature to exclusively connect to a bitcoind implementation which enforces your desired chain.
            If the network between your wallet and the trusted peer is not to be trusted, use a VPN to authenticate that connection.

← Bahai murder of Bayanis
Who is "Bahaullah"?? Husayn Ali Nuri OR Yahya Nuri →
How many Baha'is know about the secret conclave in Bahji in 1957?
How many Baha'is are aware that the Persian Hands of the Cause held a secret conclave during the night of November 19th, 1957, in the Mansion of Baha'u'llah in Bahji?
The Persian Hands of the Cause stayed in Bahji after the first conclave of all of the Hands held on November 19th, 1957, while the non-Persian Hands of the Cause returned to Haifa for the night. During that night, Nov.19th, 1957,the Persian Hands, alone, held their own private secret conclave and made a secret convenant amongst themselves to declare the Will and Testament of "Abdu'l-Baha' to be "Badah", an Islamic term meaning 'God has changed His Mind'. They made such a covenant despite the fact that only a Holy Manifestation of God has Authority to declare that God has changed His Mind, such as the occasion when His Holiness,Muhammad, changed the Qiblih from Jerusalem to Mecca.
On November 20th, 1957,when the non-Persian Hands had returned to Bahji to continue the conclave that all the Hands together had commenced the day before, it became obvious after a few opening sentences that such a secret covenant had been endorsed by the Persian Hands of the Cause, when the youngest Hand, Dr Mujahir, leapt to his feet to make the "Badah" declaration.
The other Hands then spoke in support of that declaration with one notable exception.
Not wishing to make an outright declaration to all Baha'is Earthwide that they had declared the Will and Testament of the Master to be nul and void for fear of causing intense distress amongst multitudes of Baha'i believers, the administrators in Haifa from that date, November 20th, 1957 onward to the moment of this writing have embraced the policy of outwardly declaring the Will and Testament of 'Abdu'l-Baha' to be the Foundation for the Administration of the New World Order, while simultanepously neglecting or rejecting its vital and sacred decrees, including the sacred and immutable decrees concerning the sacred Institutions delineated by the Master in His Will,namely the Guardianship,
the Interpreter of Baha'i Holy Writ, and the Institution of the Hands of the Baha'i Faith.Shamelessly, they seek to pursue administration without any of those sacred Institutions which were established to continue for the duration of the 1000 years of the Baha'i Dispensation.
When asked to explain which qualifications a man or woman must possess in order to be considered a true Baha'i believer, Shoghi Effendi, the first of our Guardians wrote: "…loyal and steadfast adherence to every clause of our Beloved's sacred Will…", amongst the requirements.
"…every clause…"

# Get-AzureRmRecoveryServicesBackupRecoveryPoint

## SYNOPSIS
Gets the recovery points for a backed up item.

## SYNTAX

### NoFilterParameterSet (Default)
```
Get-AzureRmRecoveryServicesBackupRecoveryPoint [-Item] <ItemBase> [<CommonParameters>]
```

### DateTimeFilter
```
Get-AzureRmRecoveryServicesBackupRecoveryPoint [[-StartDate] <DateTime>] [[-EndDate] <DateTime>]
 [-Item] <ItemBase> [<CommonParameters>]
```

### RecoveryPointId
```
Get-AzureRmRecoveryServicesBackupRecoveryPoint [-Item] <ItemBase> [-RecoveryPointId] <String>
 [[-KeyFileDownloadLocation] <String>] [<CommonParameters>]
```

## DESCRIPTION
The **Get-AzureRmRecoveryServicesBackupRecoveryPoint** cmdlet gets the recovery points for a backed up Azure Backup item.
After an item has been backed up, an **AzureRmRecoveryServicesBackupRecoveryPoint** object has one or more recovery points.

Set the vault context by using the Set-AzureRmRecoveryServicesVaultContext cmdlet before you use the current cmdlet.

## EXAMPLES

### Example 1: Get recovery points from the last week for an item
```
PS C:\> $StartDate = (Get-Date).AddDays(-7)
PS C:\> $EndDate = Get-Date
PS C:\> $Container = Get-AzureRmRecoveryServicesBackupContainer -ContainerType AzureVM -Status Registered -Name "V2VM"
PS C:\> $BackupItem = Get-AzureRmRecoveryServicesBackupItem -ContainerType AzureVM -WorkloadType AzureVM
PS C:\> $RP = Get-AzureRmRecoveryServicesBackupRecoveryPoint -Item $BackupItem -StartDate $Startdate.ToUniversalTime() -EndDate $Enddate.ToUniversalTime()
```

The first command gets the date from seven days ago, and then stores it in the $StartDate variable.

The second command gets today's date, and then stores it in the $EndDate variable.

The third command gets AzureVM backup containers, and stores them in the $Containers variable.

The fourth command gets the backup item named V2VM, and then stores it in the $BackupItem variable.

The last command gets an array of recovery points for the item in $BackupItem, and then stores them in the $RP variable.
