Proselytizing or Evangelizing of Jews causes the Greatest Obstacle to Reconciliation of the 2 Houses of Israel
Kol HaTor Reconciliation 2
Why Jews should NOT be proselytized!
The short answer to this question is:Those Jews who are considering recognizing and accepting the Messiah which Christianity proclaims, should consider that according to history and the New Testament, he was an orthodox Jew, who upheld Halachic Judaism until his last day on earth. Nowhere did he ever indicate that a new religion, like Christianity, totally diverse from and contrary to his own, would evolve. To the contrary, he confirmed Halachic Judaism, the Oral Torah and the authority of the Rabbis very clearly in Matthew 23:2, Matthew 5 (entire chapter) and elsewhere. Whatever he proclaimed, came as a Jew from a Halachic Jewish background. Why should a Jew then exchange Judaism for a religion which has accepted an orthodox Halachic Jew as their Messiah; a religion which through time, has been high-jacked, infiltrated and contorted with pagan concepts which them became known as 'Christianity'?
In co-operation with Rabbi Feld, co-founder of Kol HaTor, we we have published a book which points out the Halachic principles confirmed in the New Testament (NT). The Church, in their total ignorance of Rabbinic wisdom, have interpreted these statements to be anti-Rabbinic, in this way rendering the NT as an anti-Jewish book. Rabbi Feld, an erudite anti-Missionary and a Talmud teacher, has taken the trouble to analyze the NT for this confirmation which he clearly recognizes – though he does NOT accept the 'Christian' Messiah, neither does he accept the NT as authoritative. He is merely quoting and commenting on its contents.
There would not have been a Christian Faith without the Jewish nation which has been appointed the Guardians of the Word of HaShem – the Torah and Tanach. Even the New Testament confirms this Jewish Mandate in Romans 3:2.
The question now arises, whether Christianity, or Messianism in its broader context, has replaced the Divinely mandated Jewish Faith or not.
The Irony of Christian Replacement Theology
A Loving glance at you from Above: A Guide for Returning 10-Tribers
We are no doubt living in "The End Times" – as admitted even by scientists today. The international Doomsday Clock has just been forwarded to 5 minutes to 12. The Prophecies of Torah and Tanach and The Jewish Sages wrote extensively about the End Times. The very term 'Redemption' (Geulah) refers to the Return from exile and the reunification of the 12 Tribes into One Nation in what it terms "The End Time", to form the Elect of HaShem. So traumatic was the split of the 12-Tribed nation into 2 Houses, 8 centuries BCE, that HaShem withdrew His Shechinah Presence from Israel. Scripture and logic tells us that He will not return, until Peace has been restored in His re-united House. This re-union was prophesied for the End Times when the Lost 10 Tribes would rediscover their Hebrew Roots and Return to Torah and to the Land, to re-unite with Judah. This Return is now clearly evident, since the last decade.
Tracing the Lost 10 Tribes and preparing for their Return
The Return of The Shechina of G-d
Since the sixties, a trend has became apparent: Small unrelated groups of individualist Bible students and thinkers, started extricating themselves from the Church to return to their Hebrew Roots by converting to Judaism and returning to the Land. Today, it seems clear, that these were pioneer groups of the Great Return to come. This has been proven by the fact that today, there is a tidal wave – millions of Messianic believers (ex Christians who are coming out of the Church in droves) who are following this same Route – back to Torah and back to the Land. Across the world, there are sincere non-Jewish Bible students who identify their Hebraic Torah Roots and who wish to identify closer with the Jewish People and Return to the Land of Israel. The Jewish Sages have written much about this End Time phenomenon, with their deep insight into Scripture – where it is all foretold.
The Divine Purpose, as outlined in the Tanach, is to re-identify and to bring the 10 Tribes BACK to the One True Faith, Judaism, as maintained and guarded by Judah (the Jews) throughout the ages (not excluding great neglect as part of the package!), to re-unite the Lost (pagan infected) Tribes with Judah, to HEAL the ancient split and to bring back the Shechinah Glory of HaShem.
For Jews to convert to Messianism, is to go exactly against this Divinely ordained Prophetic Stream.
So what then is the Purpose of the Messiah proclaimed by Messianism?
The Jewish Sages foresaw TWO Messiah's;
Messiah ben Yosef and
Messiah ben David.
Hebraic Restoration Messianic commentators today claim, that Jesus (Y'Shuah) was Mashiach ben Yosef, who will come the 2nd time as Mashiach ben David – the Ruling King in the Kingdom of HaShem. As such, they claim, his Divine Mandate as Messiah ben Yosef was to reconcile the Lost 10 Tribes of Israel with the Covenant from which they had been cut off 2800 years ago, and exiled from Northern Israel.
The Kol Ha Tor Project has been named after the title of the writings of the Gaon of Vilna, a famous Jewish Sage (1740 CE), who claimed Divine Insight into the Final Preparation of the Restored Kingdom of Israel, re-united in Peace, in the 'footsteps of Mashiach ben Yosef'.
A Hard copy of the book (a MUST for the collection of all serious 10-Tribe students) is also available for order from amazon.com
According to modern Hebraic Restoration Interpretation, the 10 Tribes were 'divorced' and rejected from the Covenant by God, Messiah ben Yosef's main Mandate would be to reconcile them back into Covenant and with Judah, to finally establish the Re-United 12-Tribed Kingdom of Israel over which Messiah ben David will reign at his Coming. Judah, however, has never been divorced (de-covenanted) by HaShem and therefore does not need the Covenantal reconciliation without which 10-Israel would be doomed for eternity. The apostle Paul, it is claimed, acted contrary to his Divine Mandate to go to "the lost sheep of the House of Israel", by insisting to 'go to the Jew first':
The problem is, that when Jews accept the 'Christian' Messiah, they turn to some or other form of pagan influenced Christianity or Messianism, because they are dependant on Christian anti-Torah and/or anti-Rabbinic literature. This also applies to even the furthest advanced Hebraic Messianic Group in the Return to their Roots today – for unless they have returned to Judaism fully by conversion, they mostly are still bound by some of the many pagan infected principles from which they are busy extricating themselves.
If Hebraic Messianic interpreters are correct, in that Messiah ben Yosef (Jesus, Y'Shuah) came to reconcile 10-Israel with the Covenant and to bring them back into the One True Faith, with Judaism, and into the Land, then there is a very applicable Parable in the New Testament which confirms the Return of "The Prodigal son", returning to his heritage (Luke 13). Accordingly, there truly seems to be no reason whatsoever for Jews to relinquish their Jewish Faith, as it is the Prodigal Son who has to return to his heritage which had been retained by the faithful remaining son, while the Prodigal sank to the pits of paganism, depicted by his sojourning in the pig sties.
Trusting that this will assist the Divine Cause of bringing Peace to Zion; Peace between the estranged 2 Houses of Israel.
Jewish Secrets hidden in the New Testament
The Stumbling Block and Rock of Offence
Do we really have a sound concept of "The Written Word of God?"
"Judah, however, has never been rejected and therefore does not need the Covenantal reconciliation without which 10-Israel would be doomed for eternity.".
That statement is not true!
If you examine both Deuteronomy and the last 2000 years of recorded history in regards to the tribe of Judah the below has most certainly occurred. It is Gods written word that has come true upon the Jews. This has been the circumstance starting in 70ad.
"And YHVH will certainly scatter you among all the peoples from the one end of the earth to the other end of the earth, and there you will have to serve other gods whom you have not known, neither you nor your forefathers, wood and stone."
Your statement above reveals that Jews have still not yet come to terms with their errors.
So how can you expect a Christian to believe you?
OvadYah Avrahami
You are correct, Geoffrey. I used the wrong word "rejected' rather than "de-covenanted". The article has now been edited and corrected to conform with our other articles on the topic. The rest of our writings confirm this. The facts are that the House of Israel (Northern 10 Tribes) have been divorced by HaShem, cut off from the Covenant, exiled into oblivion and loss of Identity – with the Divine Oath though, that He would Return her and accept back His harlot Bride in the End Times. The House of Judah (Jews) were also exiled, twice, for "being worse than your sister" – BUT, He never divorced her, which is the difference.

The Top Performing Agents in Free Agency
With free agency still going strong I thought maybe we would turn some attention to the top performing agents this year. What I did was look at every free agent (or set to be free agent) contract that averages at least $1.5 million per year that was signed after the Super Bowl (1 year franchise tags excluded) that we have records of and added them all up to see which agents are having a great offseason in 2021. This list isn't complete as our own records are a work in progress but Ill try to update this list at the end of next week as well.
The biggest winner this year has been Todd France who thus far we have with over $360 million in contracts negotiated and there are more on the way. The biggest home run was Dak Prescott but he also dominated the edge rusher market with three of the top four performers- Bud Dupree, Leonard Floyd, and Carl Lawson. Well over $200 million in guarantees for the players and about 65% of the contracts were protected for injury.
Drew Rosenhaus was second with over $240 million in contracts negotiated across 10 players we have records of, Shaq Barrett being the biggest of the group. Rosenhaus has over $100 million in full salary protection negotiated into his contracts with no vesting guarantees and all guaranteed at signing for his players.
Third of all agents this year is Vincent Taylor of Elite Loyalty all on the strength of the massive contract he negotiated on behalf of Trent Williams. This was arguably the best non-quarterback contract signed this offseason eclipsing $20 million a year in real value for a 33 year old left tackle.
Here is the list of who we have as the top 20 ranked by total contract value negotiated this free agency period. Again its not complete but I thought it was a different way to look at some things this year.

Douglas Campbell writes, "The current debate concerning the meaning of diakosune theou (the righteousness of God) in Paul is immense." The controversy predominantly centers on whether the 'righteousness' of God is retributive/punitive or gracious/benevolent in nature. Additionally, scholars dispute as to whether the righteousness of God describes an attribute of God, the activity of God, or relational aspects of God. The complexity of the issues surrounding the translation and interpretation of diakosune theou (the righteousness of God) make it impossible to offer a detailed account of the whole debate, but Douglas Moo, N.T. Wright, and Douglas Campbell's respective views serve as a suitable introduction. Each perspective will be evaluated according to three categories – character, activity, and product – to allow for a consistent comparison.
Douglas Moo defines God's character, in regards to his righteousness, as one who will always do what is right according to the divine nature. At first glance, this is seemingly a common understanding among the three viewpoints until the term "right" is defined in any particularity. For Moo, "what is right" entails God "always acting in accordance with the norm of his own person and promises." God's activity of doing "right," however, is not limited to saving work, instead it includes both God's saving actions and God's justice. Thus, God's activity is to establish the "right" by vindicating some and judging others based upon a determined standard, which according to Moo is justification by faith in Jesus Christ. Consequently, the product of God's "right" activity is that those who have been justified by faith receive God's character; in other words, they attain the moral righteousness required by God.
N.T. Wright works chiefly within these same categories, except he places them within a predominantly covenantal framework. Simply stated, the righteousness of God is God's sure and steadfast love of Israel, which Wright deduces from tying together the interrelated dimensions of covenant, lawcourt, and apocalyptic. The covenantal aspect is that God designed a once for all plan for salvation through Israel to bless the world and God remains exceedingly faithful to this plan. Wright states, "The point of the covenant always was that God would bless the whole world through Abraham's family." The lawcourt dimension displays the character of God as that of an impartial judge, who as the creator of the world must rule and judge all creation justly. Thus, God's activity is focused on a single plan to put the world right, which God established through the covenant with Israel. For Wright, the decisive, apocalyptic act was that God dealt with sin and rebellion through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Thus, through Jesus Christ, as a faithful representative of Israel, God's covenant with Israel has been fulfilled and the world has been declared "right" and granted access to blessings of the covenant. The product of God's saving action is not, however, that one's character is changed into the character of God, rather, his/her status is changed before God. In other words, he/she is vindicated by the judge, through the faithfulness of Jesus Christ, and brought into the family of God.
Douglas Campbell's view of the righteousness of God (the deliverance of God) draws specifically from the understanding of Christ as the definitive display of God's righteousness. He states, "If we know what Christ is, we can infer immediately the content of the righteousness of God." Thus, Campbell concludes that the definitive character of God is benevolence because Christ exhibits no retributive characteristics in Paul's writing. Furthermore, drawing from the Old Testament's picture of divine kingship, Campbell determines God's character to be a compassionate king whose sole concern is to act to save an oppressed humanity. God's kingly activity then is a "saving, liberating, life-giving, eschatological act," which delivers his oppressed people. Campbell defines this activity in the singular work of Jesus Christ whose death and resurrection liberates a captive humanity. The product is "fundamentally liberative" and humanity is ontologically transformed, receiving a new flesh free from the powers of death and sin.
 Douglas Campbell, The Deliverance of God (Grand Rapids, MI: William B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 2009), 677.
 I have placed 'righteousness' in quotes because there is disagreement on how diakosune should be translated. I have chosen 'righteousness' solely because this is how it is most often discussed.
 Campbell's methodology for defining diakosune theou differs considerably from the other two views. Campbell's method starts with Christ as the definitive disclosure of diakosune theou and from this extrapolates its meaning by referring to how Christ is described in Paul. The other views draw on the phrases textual history to elucidate Paul's meaning. Thus, is a little tenuous to fit Campbell's definition into these three categories.
 Ibid, 88. Moo acknowledges the covenantal framework of diakosune theou, however, he shows from passages, such as Psalm 143 and Daniel 9, that it cannot be tied exclusively to God's covenant promises.
 Wright, Justification (Downers Grove, IL: IVP Academic, 2009), 67.
 Douglas Campbell, The Deliverance of God, 683.
Great post! It's always helpful to put these different views side by side. The question I have is (for Wright's view) can God really be impartial when love is involved? Any thoughts?
This is a good question. I am not sure how I would answer without a few more details – why can't love and impartiality be connected? is this a question of election, chosen? are you hinting (scared/excited) that universalism would be the result of impartial love?
I may be completely off track but these are the questions that come to mind as I think about you comment.
And, I don't know Wright's view well enough to know how he would answer that question (e.g. how he defines love or what role impartial play in his overall scheme).
This is just me thinking aloud, but my understanding of what love is is that you act for the good of the person you are loving (whether or not it actually seems good to the recipient is another question I guess). So I wonder how can you love and be impartial? I'm not saying it's not possible, but I'm asking if that's actually the reality? Is that really who God has shown himself to be, the impartial judge?
My thinking is that if God has sent Christ on behalf of humanity he has already shown that he isn't impartial… he is decidedly faithful to and for his creation, specifically his image bearers.
With respect to Wright's view of God's not being partial, I suggest Rom 2:10-11 typifies Wright's idea. "Partiality" concerns the making of distinctions based of markers like ethnicity, social rank, etc. It is inherent that covenant relationships that distinctions are made of some sort, e.g. according to faith and promises, but not those matters that separate one nation from another as if God were not God of the world.
Jackson, thanks for the clarification on Wright. (good to hear from you and I owe you an email!).
Jessica, I think in general I would agree with what Jackson stated…God is impartial in that he loves all those created in his image (as you said).


Govt plans to introduce a bill to replace DGCA with a more autonomous body in the winter session of Parliament.
NEW DELHI: Government plans to introduce a bill to replace aviation regulator DGCA with a more autonomous body in the winter session of Parliament as part of a host of measures to meet fresh challenges in the aviation sector.
Among the measures being considered by the Civil Aviation Ministry is auctioning of some prime-time flying slots to end the opaqueness in their allocation by airport operators.
The Ministry plans to table in the winter session, the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) Bill to replace the Directorate General of Civil Aviation to make CAA an autonomous body with more powers, Civil Aviation Minister Ajit Singh said here.
"We will be coming up with a new computerised system of slot allotment at airports, which is presently alloted to airlines by the airports. There is no transparency in it. We are also mulling to auction some prime slots," he told reporters.
Some airlines could lose some slots, like those allocated to them but were not being operated, he said.
Route Dispersal Guidelines, under which an airline is bound to operate to socially-important but financially unviable routes in the Northeast and Kashmir, would be amended to ensure that carriers operate to small cities.
A review of the aircraft acquisition policy was also being undertaken to enhance regional connectivity, he said, adding that many airlines preferred to have a single type of aircraft and ply to metro cities only.
"Airlines will have to have different types of aircraft to connect to Tier-III and Tier-IV cities," he said, adding effort would be to ensure that airlines buy smaller planes like turboprop ATRs or small jets to fly to airports having shorter runways.
In order to make airlines fly to such destinations, the new policy measures would focus on upping connectivity to regional cities through a successful 'hub-and-spoke' system.


Our solid core composite decking boards offer greater strength and better sound absorption and are often favoured for commercial applications and decks that will be subject to heavier use and larger loads. The boards have narrow spaced grooves on one side and a flat surface on the other, therefore we recommend installing groove side up to get a robust anti-slip walking surface. The boards are easy to clean, and require very little maintenance.
All of our composite decking boards are available in five attractive colours – teak, coffee, charcoal, light grey and stone grey.
This board measures 3000mm x 150mm x 25mm and is best suited for decking areas with a single width less than 3m wide.

Time flies when you're having fun and if you don't watch the clock it could cost you true love. Or not. Good thing Cinderella's fairy god mother made a couture slipper that only fit her foot. Cinderella ends up with the prince. The Rough Face Girl and the Invisible Being are together for all of their days. The Rough Face Girl is an adapted Cinderella tale that taught us that inner beauty and recognizing the true beauty around us can fill the soul. We studied both fairy tales and this talk show combines the two.
Warning: This talk show is loooong. Last week was a week of technical struggles. During the filming of this talk show, two "fully charged" camera lost battery, we lost two characters due to absence, and even with "expert" help, compressing the videos was a challenge.

Hastings and Rye Labour: Party's reaction to Chancellor's Budget 2018
Peter Chowney SUS-170906-061859001
Richard Gladstone
The Chancellor's Budget is little more than 'window-dressing' and will do nothing to help the vulnerable in Hastings and Rye, the constituency's Labour party has said.
Peter Chowney, Labour's Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for Hastings and Rye, has branded it a 'deeply cynical exercise'.
He added: "This Budget will leave a lot of people in more deprived areas worse off. It amounts to an admission that Universal Credit has hurt people. Hastings saw the earliest roll out of Universal Credit.
"Local residents became guinea pigs for a system that had major flaws built into it, and was designed to punish people for being poor rather than offering them support.
"Three-quarters of the £12bn in welfare cuts announced after the 2015 election remain government policy. The overall package of tax and benefit changes announced since 2015 will deliver an average gain of £390 for the richest fifth of households in 2023-24, compared to an average loss of £400 for the poorest fifth. It has forced Hastings people to use food banks more than ever before.
"These changes do nothing to help vulnerable households who have suffered the most from austerity.
"Further, hidden in the Chancellor's Red Book small print is another £7 billion in cuts to public services, the impact of which will only be realised in the years ahead, aside from what will happen if there is no deal on Brexit.
"Of particular concern locally is the lack of money for police recruitment to help tackle street drinking and anti-social behaviour following £57 million in cuts in eight years to the Sussex force.
"There was also no hint of an ending to the continuing cuts to council budgets, which have led to a system of local authority funding that has become unsustainable, and will mean that councils can no longer provide even the most basic statutory services.
"Overall, this budget is little more than window-dressing, designed to capture a few favourable headlines without dealing with the massive problems of collapsing public services and increasing poverty that is affecting the more deprived constituencies such as Hastings & Rye particularly badly."
Earlier Hastings and Rye MP, Amber Rudd welcomed the Budget, saying it will see increased investment in public services, with a 1.2 per cent increase in real terms spending every year.
She also said a large portion of funding will go towards the NHS, which will see £20.5 billion more in real terms funding by 2023-2024.

So it appears I filed the last blog a little too soon.
According to the report, just 3 of 16 of the paper's graduating seniors who were on the paper's executive board, plan to pursue a career in journalism. Of the last 10 managing editors, only two are working at newspapers.
We were between innings at my son's baseball game, yesterday. When he was younger, and the kid playing catcher needed half the team to help put back on the equipment, you could basically run home, have a snack, come back and not miss a moment of action.
Now that Alec is 11, it has been cut down considerably. But there was still enough time for a glance at my Blackberry and the e-mail that had come in from an unfamiliar address.


It was a trip down memory lane for Stedham with Iping Parish Council chairman Eddie Lintott when villagers gathered at the Memorial Hall last night (Monday, November 14) to celebrate his 50th anniversary as a member.
Eddie joined what was then Stedham Parish Council on November 14, 1966. Many members who had served with him over half a century gathered to celebrate his milestone. They included Eve Phillips, who joined in 1972 and Jane Crawford, parish councillor from 1979 to 1999 before becoming clerk. Also present were Stedham vicars, past and present and members of village organisations.
Eddie joined at 25, having just qualified as a surveyor and auctioneer: "It was quite a different body then," he said, "there were city businessmen and farmers but not many villagers. I had just qualified and they thought I might be of benefit.
He became chairman in 1979 for his first three years and has since held the post of chairman or vice chairman for more than 25 years. Eddie, who was born in Stedham and lived there all his life, prides himself on having held all three village 'portfolios' at the same time. As well as council chairman he was churchwarden at St James for 32 years and served on the primary school governors for 20 years, ten as chairman.
In the 1970s he chaired the Parish Civil Defence Committee "fortunately it was never called into action." He saw the parish boundary change to become Stedham with Iping Parish Council. He is also proud of running the best kept village campaigns in the 1980s winning several trophies. Among the low points he said were 'conflict' including the sports pavilion, now a success story, the controversy when Kerry Packer created polo grounds and the current battle over development at the former St Cuthman's School.

Paul Ashore on Malta
28:1 Once safely on shore, we found out that the island was called Malta.2 The islanders showed us unusual kindness. They built a fire and welcomed us all because it was raining and cold. 3 Paul gathered a pile of brushwood and, as he put it on the fire, a viper, driven out by the heat, fastened itself on his hand. 4 When the islanders saw the snake hanging from his hand, they said to each other, "This man must be a murderer; for though he escaped from the sea, the goddess Justice has not allowed him to live." 5 But Paul shook the snake off into the fire and suffered no ill effects. 6 The people expected him to swell up or suddenly fall dead; but after waiting a long time and seeing nothing unusual happen to him, they changed their minds and said he was a god.
7 There was an estate nearby that belonged to Publius, the chief official of the island. He welcomed us to his home and showed us generous hospitality for three days. 8 His father was sick in bed, suffering from fever and dysentery. Paul went in to see him and, after prayer, placed his hands on him and healed him. 9 When this had happened, the rest of the sick on the island came and were cured. 10 They honored us in many ways; and when we were ready to sail, they furnished us with the supplies we needed.
Paul's Arrival at Rome
11 After three months we put out to sea in a ship that had wintered in the island—it was an Alexandrian ship with the figurehead of the twin gods Castor and Pollux. 12 We put in at Syracuse and stayed there three days.13 From there we set sail and arrived at Rhegium. The next day the south wind came up, and on the following day we reached Puteoli. 14 There we found some brothers and sisters who invited us to spend a week with them. And so we came to Rome. 15 The brothers and sisters there had heard that we were coming, and they traveled as far as the Forum of Appius and the Three Taverns to meet us. At the sight of these people Paul thanked God and was encouraged. 16 When we got to Rome, Paul was allowed to live by himself, with a soldier to guard him.
Paul Preaches at Rome Under Guard
17 Three days later he called together the local Jewish leaders. When they had assembled, Paul said to them: "My brothers, although I have done nothing against our people or against the customs of our ancestors, I was arrested in Jerusalem and handed over to the Romans.18 They examined me and wanted to release me, because I was not guilty of any crime deserving death. 19 The Jews objected, so I was compelled to make an appeal to Caesar. I certainly did not intend to bring any charge against my own people. 20 For this reason I have asked to see you and talk with you. It is because of the hope of Israel that I am bound with this chain."
21 They replied, "We have not received any letters from Judea concerning you, and none of our people who have come from there has reported or said anything bad about you. 22 But we want to hear what your views are, for we know that people everywhere are talking against this sect."
23 They arranged to meet Paul on a certain day, and came in even larger numbers to the place where he was staying. He witnessed to them from morning till evening, explaining about the kingdom of God, and from the Law of Moses and from the Prophets he tried to persuade them about Jesus. 24 Some were convinced by what he said, but others would not believe. 25 They disagreed among themselves and began to leave after Paul had made this final statement: "The Holy Spirit spoke the truth to your ancestors when he said through Isaiah the prophet:
26 "'Go to this people and say,
"You will be ever hearing but never understanding;
28 "Therefore I want you to know that God's salvation has been sent to the Gentiles, and they will listen!" [29] [b]
30 For two whole years Paul stayed there in his own rented house and welcomed all who came to see him. 31 He proclaimed the kingdom of Godand taught about the Lord Jesus Christ—with all boldness and without hindrance!

Chill Squeezes Orange Supply
Leslie Josephs
Updated Jan. 8, 2011 12:01 am ET / Original Jan. 8, 2011 8:26 am ET
DJ-AIG Commodity Indexes
After a record cold roared through Florida last month, orange juice has joined sugar, coffee and cotton on the growing list of commodities that have hit recent records as a result of the rotten weather.
Last month was the coldest December on record for Florida's citrus-growing areas, and temperature dips are continuing to send prices for frozen concentrated orange juice to levels above 3½-year highs. Frozen-orange-juice futures gained 27% last year, closing at $1.6355 a pound. A January 2010 cold snap slashed last year's harvest to 134 million boxes, one of the smallest harvests in two decades, and the freezes last month could mean that 2011 will yield another small crop. Florida Citrus Mutual, the state's main growers' group, says that the weather has caused "widespread" damage across the state.
The futures market rally is almost certainly going to result in higher prices for consumers, but price increases over the past seven years already have damped shoppers' interest in orange juice. This means that last year's price surge may eventually stall, reflecting the slumping demand.
Orange-juice sales fell 10.5% in the Oct. 3 to Nov. 27 period,compared with the level a year earlier. In the period, prices rose 5.5%, with a gallon of orange juice costing $5.68, according to Nielsen data published by the Florida Department of Citrus. "If prices continue to rise, demand would continue to decline," says Boyd Cruel, a senior analyst at Chicago's Vision Financial Markets.
Coca-Cola (ticker: KO) said in December that it would "likely" increase prices on its Minute Maid and Simply juice brands 4% to 8% this year, owing to rising costs of fruit, along with fuel and packaging.
Tropicana, which is owned by PepsiCo (PEP), recently said it's assessing the damage from the Florida freeze to see whether it would hike prices for a second consecutive year.
Higher prices are driving consumers to the growing variety of competitive fresh juices on the market, with exotic fruits and berries as well as blended drinks taking market share from orange juice.
"Regardless of what's been happening with hurricanes and freezes over time, you can see how demand has been going down," said Carol Freysinger, executive director of the Juice Products Association. "Orange juice is very price sensitive, but irrespective of the ups and downs of prices over the last several years, you can see that there are a lot more choices out there for the consumer to try."
The Department of Agriculture next week will assess the damage from December's cold weather on Florida's crop. It also may slash its 2010-2011 harvest estimate (the harvest runs from November through June) for a second time, from the current 143 million 90-lb. boxes. One box yields about 1.61 gallons of concentrated orange juice, which is about four times more concentrated than what is sold on supermarket shelves.
WHILE FRUGAL CONSUMERS may be turning away from pricey orange juice, Chinese textile mills are unfazed by high cotton prices (up 91.5% in 2010), Asia's emerging taste for sweets hasn't soured on sugar prices (up 19%), and coffee drinkers from Boston to Beijing are still lining up for their morning jolt, oblivious to coffee prices that are up 77%.

Olympics to Finally Give Sprinters Tommie Smith and John Carlos Their Props by Inducting Them Into Hall of Fame
Tommie Smith and John Carlos accept the Arthur Ashe Award for Courage at the 2008 ESPYs. Now, 51 years after being sent home by the Olympics for their black-gloved salute at the 1968 Mexico City Olympics to protest racial oppression, the Olympics is inducting them into its hall of fame.

Decades before Colin Kaepernick was taking a knee on the football gridiron to protest racial injustice, Olympic sprinters Tommie Smith and John Carlos were raising a fist on the winners' stand at the 1968 Olympics. Much like Kaepernick, Smith and Carlos were expelled for their actions. Now, it looks like the Olympics is prepared to issue a mea culpa of sorts.
On Nov. 1, a little more than 51 years after the Olympics organization expelled them for their protest against racial oppression, the Olympics will be inducting both Smith and Carlos into the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Hall of Fame, NBC Sports reports.
As the Washington Post explains:
Smith and Carlos were responsible for one of the most recognizable moments in Olympic history, raising their fists in protest on the medals podium at the 1968 Summer Olympics. They have both previously been bestowed with a long list of honors, including induction into the USA Track and Field Hall of Fame.
Their exclusion from the USOPC's hall highlighted the thorny relationship the organization has had with the two sprinters for decades. At the 1968 Games in Mexico City, the USOPC — which was known as the U.S. Olympic Committee until changing its name earlier this year — succumbed to pressure and sent the men home following their controversial protest.
Extending gloved hands skyward in racial protest, U.S. athletes Tommie Smith, center, and John Carlos stare downward during the playing of "The Star-Spangled Banner" after Smith received the gold and Carlos the bronze for the 200-meter run at the Summer Olympic Games in Mexico City on Oct. 16, 1968. Australian silver medalist Peter Norman is at left.

The year 1968 was a turbulent time in the world. Just months before the Olympics took place in Mexico City, Martin Luther King Jr. had been assassinated, young men and women were still fighting and dying in the Vietnam War, and race relations were fraught, not only in the U.S. but abroad.
Some athletes were thinking about boycotting the Olympics altogether, the Post notes. Athletes were upset about the inclusion of apartheid South Africa and Rhodesia in the Games; were calling for the removal of the then president of the International Olympic Committee amid accusations of racism and anti-Semitism; and were demanding the hiring of more black coaches.
After Smith broke the world record in the 200-meter race, winning gold, and Carlos took third place in the race, the two took their places on the medal stand and raised their fists as "The Star-Spangled Banner" played.
Reaction to the perceived outrage was swift, as the Post explains:
That sparked a swirl of activity from Olympic officials. The USOPC initially decided against a suspension, intending to issue a warning to the rest of the American athletes competing in Mexico. The International Olympic Committee demanded a stronger response, though, fearing "that racial dissension might spread to other delegations if USOC refused to suspend Smith and Carlos," according to a dispatch sent from the U.S. Embassy in Mexico City at the time.
Olympics officials expelled Smith and Carlos the day after their protest.
For years, "Smith and Carlos felt ostracized from the Olympic community," according to the Post, " but have increasingly been heralded as both iconic activists and accomplished athletes. In 2016, the two were invited to visit the White House and President Barack Obama, along with that year's U.S. Summer Olympics team."
Now, comes their induction in the Hall of Fame, five decades later.
As sports writer Dave Zirin, who co-wrote Carlos' autobiography, told the Post:
"One could be forgiven for rolling their eyes at the USOC finally—after 51 years—catching up with the rest of the world."

The national debt of Pakistan (), or simply Pakistani debt, is the total public debt, or unpaid borrowed funds carried by the Government of Pakistan, which includes measurement as the face value of the currently outstanding treasury bills (T-bills) that have been issued by the federal government.

The terms 'budget deficit' and 'national surplus' usually refer to the federal government budget balance from year to year, not the cumulative amount of debt. A deficit year increases the debt, while a surplus year decreases the debt as more money is received than spent.

History
In 2008 when Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) had won the election, Pakistan's debt was  which increased by 135% in the next five years of PPP tenure, and became  in 2013. Majority of this increase in debt was in domestic debt in which external debt of Pakistan increased by 22 percent, from  in 2008 to  in 2013. PPP government was dependent on domestic and International lending to meet the needs of the government expenditures. Total debt increased to 64 percent of the GDP but external debt as a percentage of GDP decreased from 29.5 percent to 23.4 percent.

After 2013 Pakistani general election, Nawaz Sharif came to power. During their rule of five years, Pakistan's external debt increased from  to , an increase of 226.80 percent, mainly due to the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, for which loans were taken from China and all contracts awarded only to Chinese companies, the consequent high imports from China (not offset by any significant exports to China), and also Sukuk bonds.

After 2018 Pakistani general elections, Imran Khan came to power. During his rule of 3 years still today Pakistani external debt increased from  to  an increase of 35.3 billion USD

Current debt
As of October 2021, Total Public Debt and Liabilities of Pakistan is estimated to be about / which is 89 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) of Pakistan. About  is owed by the government to domestic creditors, and about  is owed by Public Sector Enterprises (PSEs).

Similarly, as of October 2021, external Debt of Pakistan is now around . Pakistan owes  to Paris Club,  to multilateral donors,  to International Monetary Fund, and  to international bonds such as Eurobond, and sukuk. About 15% of the external debt which is estimated around  (6.15% of GDP) is owed to China due to China-Pakistan Economic Corridor.

Pakistan is facing a "huge external financing gap" of $4 billion, with China, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE expected to provide additional support. The IMF is seeking to fund its program and secure $7 billion for debt repayment, current account deficit financing, and increasing foreign exchange reserves. The talks between Pakistan and the IMF were delayed due to concerns over the credibility of the government's assurances and the reliability of foreign loans. Despite some agreement on reform actions and measures, there are still outstanding issues and the IMF has expressed concerns about the government's ability to fulfill past commitments.

Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari of Pakistan asked the International Monetary Fund to soften the conditions of its bailout package to help the country protect flood victims from rising prices.

IMF urged Pakistan to hike its general sales tax rate to at least 18% in an effort to bolster revenue. The country's debt servicing costs are expected to surge to a high of Rs5.2 trillion in the current fiscal year. The IMF demand was made as the government shared its revised macroeconomic projections showing inflation rising to 29% and economic growth rate slowing to 1.5%, which will lead to higher unemployment and poverty in the country.

Aegon reaches final agreement to reduce charges on unit-linked insurance policies in the Netherlands
The Hague, July 13, 2009
"We are pleased to have reached a good agreement for our customers", said Marco Keim, member of Aegon's Management Board.
Aegon has reached a final agreement with Stichting Verliespolis and Stichting Woekerpolis Claim to reduce charges for customers of its unit-linked insurance policies in the Netherlands. The agreement is part of industry-wide efforts in the Netherlands to address concerns over charges related to unit-linked insurance products.
Aegon previously announced improvements to such policies last September. Based on the information available at that time, the company estimated the cost at approximately EUR 140 million before tax. Under the final agreement announced today, Aegon will commit an additional maximum amount of EUR 110 million before tax to improve terms and conditions of its unit-linked policies, which includes a maximum of EUR 80 million before tax to assist those customers experiencing adverse financial circumstances.
As a result of the final agreement, there will be an additional impact on the company's embedded value of approximately EUR 70 million after tax. The cost of improvements will be reflected in Aegon's earnings over the remainder of the lifespan of affected policies. Consequently, Aegon expects no significant impact on its 2009 income statement as it has adequate provisions.
The final agreement is the result of several months of negotiations between Aegon and organizations in the Netherlands representing the interests of customers. These organizations will be involved in supervising the implementation of the agreement.
"We are pleased to have reached a good agreement for our customers", said Marco Keim, member of Aegon's Management Board. "The Dutch Financial Service Ombudsman has examined the Aegon agreement and confirmed that it is fully in line with his Recommendation and consistent with prior agreements of other insurance companies".
Before this agreement, Aegon had made substantial improvements by reducing costs and premiums for its unit-linked insurance products in the Netherlands.

After successful tours across Europe, Stars of the West End thrilled Jakarta's musical fans with the most popular scores from the London theatre district. Mike Sterling, Shona Lindsay, Tom Solomon and Maya Barredo-Duffy were on hand to relay the pleasures of wonderful music in two concerts at the Ciputra Artpreneur Theater.
Visitors were serenaded by the beautiful voices performing the principal roles of the Phantom and Christine in Phantom of the Opera, Jean Valjean and Cosette in Les Miserables and Sandy in Grease. President Director of Ciputra Artpreuner Rina Ciputra Sastrawinata shares the details.
West End musicals swing from heartwarming adaptations and award-winning scores to hilarious musical theatre. Name three musicals you like best.
I'd have to say Mamma Mia!, Les Miserables and, of course, Annie.
What are your reasons for picking those three?
Each musical talks to me differently. Mamma Mia! is a feel-good and entertaining production. Les Miserables is a story of courage and willingness to scarifice for one's country and love. Annie is so adorable; beyond that sweet face is a strength that teaches us to believe in our dreams and to treasure family and friends.
Shona Lindsay played Christine in Phantom of the Opera and Sandy in Grease. Will she play Kathy Seldon in Singin' in the Rain?
Shona Lindsay and the other stars brought us the West End's best musicals: Phantom of the Opera, Cats, Miss Saigon, Wicked and more. Maya Barredo-Duffy, one of the best Filipinas in the West End, performed as Kim in Miss Saigon and she was an inspirational addition for the Indonesian audience.
What do you have in store for the next semester? Can theatre-going crowds expect classy Christmas 2017/New Year 2018 concerts?
Our end-of-the-year calendar is quite busy. Among others is a special musical on the life of the great rock 'n' roll star Elvis Presley. Look out for our first New Year's Eve Concert at www.ciputraartpreneur.com.
What are the challenges of operating a theatre?
Running a theatre is very much a business undertaking. It has been especially challenging for us as not many understand the true value of the arts—they are seen as another form of entertainment. I would like to quote pop artist Sir Peter Thomas Blake who designed the sleeve for the Beatles' album Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, "All a country has is its culture; the rest is infrastructure."

Baseline Survey on Unpaid Care Work Status among Women and Men in 8 Districts of Rwanda
The baseline survey on unpaid care work status among women and men in eight districts of Rwanda seeks to understand the care-related dynamics in households, this study utilized both quantitative and qualitative research methodologies. Drawing on Oxfam's Household Care Survey (HCS) and the Harvard Analytical Framework (also referred to as the Gender Roles Framework).

Gender Alert on Drought in Ethiopia
The current drought response in Ethiopia is being scaled up across sectors, including food security, nutrition assistance, provision of safe water and sanitation, and livelihood protection. In addition, other urgent humanitarian assistance to drought- stricken areas such as agriculture and livestock support for pastoralist communities are also being increased. Nonetheless, the needs of women and girls may not be met due to a number of compounding factors such as the breakdown of key services which are critical to the health, protection, and recovery of women and girls; weakened informal and formal protection and accountability mechanisms; disrupted livelihoods, increased displacement, power imbalances, and limited access to resources.

The overall decoration and the color scheme should match the size of the room: light airy colors for small bedrooms . to create a sense of space and freedom, and stronger, more vibrant colors to spacious bedrooms . to give it a more cozy feel. In each case, it is possible to find a middle ground – the optimal ratio that fits your taste and meets the requirements of common sense.
The main piece of furniture in the bedroom . of course, the bed. There are a number of basic principles that must be considered when you determine its position in the room.
The main rule – the bed should not be located directly opposite the front door. This position is associated with death, as in China traditionally put the dead man in such a way as to make him out of the room feet first.
However, in any case, it is desirable to see who enters the bedroom . therefore, the bed can be put to the side wall or be placed diagonally. Other configurations that should be avoided is the bed legs to the window or head to the window (if the headboard is located directly under the window). It is also desirable to have enough space on three sides of the bed in the case where it is used for sleeping two people.


SAN FRANCISCO — The California Supreme Court threw out a lawsuit Thursday that sought to block an unusual law requiring new models of semi-automatic handguns to stamp identifying information on bullet casings when shots are fired to make it easier to solve crimes.
Attorneys for the state acknowledged that microstamping technology is "emerging" but said lawmakers often enact laws to force industries to innovate.
Writing for six of the justices, Associate Justice Goodwin Liu said impossibility can sometimes lead courts to excuse a failure to comply with a law, but it can't be the basis for invalidating it.
"It is undisputed and not contested by the state that it is literally impossible to comply," he said.
Washington, D.C., has a similar law, according to the Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence, which filed a court brief in support of California's law.
The California law requires new-model pistols to have a microscopic array of characters in two spots that identify the gun's make, model and serial number and are imprinted on the casings when the weapon is fired.
Gun rights groups say it is not possible to "microstamp" two areas of a firearm. Only the tip of the firing pin can be microstamped, and current technology doesn't allow the stamp to reliably, consistently and legibly imprint on the cartridge primer from that part of the gun, they say.
The law, which Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed in 2007 and took effect in 2013, doesn't affect guns already on the state's official firearm roster. Only new or modified semi-automatic handguns sold in California must be equipped with the technology.

Austin police officer sickened from suspected patrol car poisoning
Tony Plohetski @tplohetski
Mar 18, 2017 at 12:01 AM Sep 25, 2018 at 1:01 PM
An Austin police sergeant nearly passed out early Saturday while driving a Ford Explorer that officials think might have released carbon monoxide gas into the passenger compartment, officials said.
The officer was taken by ambulance to a hospital and was later released. Authorities described the incident as a possible vehicle malfunction.
The incident happened just after midnight in Southwest Austin. The sergeant was not responding to a call at the time. He "felt the symptoms coming on and called for help," interim Police Chief Brian Manley said.
Manley said he is now looking into buying carbon monoxide detectors for patrol units "until we can come to a resolution with Ford on this issue."
"I am aware of the incident and concerned about the safety of our officers. We will be taking immediate steps to address this concern," he said.

He said that in recent weeks, after learning of a possible issue involving police SUVs, the department had notified officers to be aware of the concern.
According to Austin police union President Ken Casaday, city mechanics had recently taken the vehicle out of service to determine whether it was releasing gases after other officers reported a suspicious odor. He said the cruiser was then placed back in service.
"This very well could have been a traffic fatality with the officer passing out behind the wheel," Casaday said. "At a time when we are fighting an uptick in violent crime, this is just one more huge concern that officers have on a daily basis."
The Ford SUVs have been under national scrutiny for the release of possible poisonous gas.
According to published reports, the issues concern Explorers made between 2011 and 2015, and gases are most likely to be released when the car is accelerating or when the air conditioning is on.
In one case that has received recent national attention, a Newport Beach, Calif., police officer claims he was severely injured when he crashed his patrol unit into a light pole. He has said medical doctors could find no other reason for the crash.

Q: Where is the "Posts"/"Blog" template? I want to modify the "Posts" template. But I can't find it's location, I believe it's unrelated to my theme. Where is it located? Could I copy it and create an identical template in my theme so as to not mess around with the original?

A: Posts (note the plural) template does not exists.
The archive of standard post type, when is not a more specific template (date archive, author archive, taxonomy archive) is handled by:
home.php (and if this file doesn't exist) by index.php.
If you intend Post (note the singular) the right template file is single.php
Once understood this, to modify the template follow @JMau answer: create a child theme.
Edit
the informations above are not a secret, but are fully accessible in the Template Hierarchy page of Codex as @hereswhatidid says in the comment below.

A: You have to modify a file called single.php. You could set up a child theme to not mess with the original theme.
This technique is the safest and easiest way to modify an existing theme. Basically you create a theme that inherits from the parent theme. It's good for maintenance when themes (parent theme here) are often updated.

Anthony Joshua Willing to Step Aside for Money; Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk May Happen Sooner Than Expected
DIRIYAH, SAUDI ARABIA – DECEMBER 07: Anthony Joshua looks on with a cut to his left eye during the IBF, WBA, WBO & IBO World Heavyweight Title Fight between Andy Ruiz Jr and Anthony Joshua during the Matchroom Boxing 'Clash on the Dunes' show at the Diriyah Season on December 07, 2019 in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia (Photo by Richard Heathcote/Getty Images)
By Raj Sarkar
After losing his heavyweight straps to Oleksandr Usyk, Anthony Joshua has a lot on the line right now. He needs to reclaim his belts in an immediate rematch before targeting other matchups. While the heavyweight unit already has several A-listers to tout, Joshua's second pro defeat in less than two years has clearly affected his dominant aura in the long race.
A fight against Usyk is his only hope now, but AJ may void that. He has showcased no such intentions as of now, but has hinted at walking away to let Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk fight in a potential unification battle.
When asked by iFL TV about letting 'The Gypsy King' replace him in the mix, Joshua said, "If the money's right, we have to look at it, but respect has a lot more value than just money." (H/T:- Michael Benson)
A few weeks back, Anthony Joshua claimed to have no interest in walking away from the rematch and had vowed to offer a much more violent side against his Ukrainian rival this time. It clearly grabbed attention, as several people posed different opinions about it. Hence, despite his latest comments, one cannot assume that 'AJ' will step aside.

Will Anthony Joshua clear the way for Tyson Fury in real?
Despite Joshua's target at big money, he may not allow Fury to take his spot against Usyk. Meanwhile, WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury also has several more matchups in his sight. He may have to defend his WBC world heavyweight title against the mandatory contender Dillian Whyte next. It is still not an official thing, but Whyte looks likely to get his shot at 'The Gypsy King'.

Meanwhile, WBO's top-tier prodigy Joe Joyce is also being rumored to enter the WBC title race at some point. Hence, Fury may not want to risk it all against Oleksandr Usyk at the time, especially when Joshua has his re-match clause ready.
