Former foreign minister Julie Bishop has questioned whether some Liberal MPs acted illegally during last month's leadership spill.
Defending the Liberal Party's handling of bullying complaints by female MPs, Ms Bishop said the party is doing the right thing handling bullying complaints internally instead of in the public eye.
Ms Bishop also backed fellow Liberal Julia Banks, who is quitting politics over "appalling" bullying, intimidation and harassment during the recent leadership spill.
"It's a very difficult situation where you are accusing others of behaviour that could in some instances be illegal," Ms Bishop told reporters on Thursday.
"If the women or men who feel this way are confident that their concerns will be taken seriously and will be considered and will be investigated, then there's no need for them name them publicly."
Prime Minister Scott Morrison said he had been keeping in close contact with Ms Banks.
"I have been talking closely with Julia now for several weeks and it's been a pretty harrowing time," he told reporters.
"My approach has been to get around and support colleagues and ensure there's the support available to them that they need."
Ms Bishop said she believed in targets, and they had been effective in making women almost 50 per cent of new government board appointments in her old portfolio of foreign affairs.
One Nation leader Pauline Hanson said gender shouldn't matter in picking MPs.

My name is Jadine, I am a young Yoga Instructor from the Rocky Mountains in Canada. I fell in love with a Welsh man while backpacking Australia and ended up moving here to North Wales with him. I find Wales to be an absolute gem for scenery and beauty. I've been settled here for over a year now.
Yoga came into my life about 5 years ago when I was 18. This practise has benefited me substantially, as well as continues to guide me as I grow. Yoga has taught me to love myself, speak to myself gently and with support, to challenge myself, connect to my intuition, navigate my through fear and most importantly discover a peaceful sanctuary within myself. The biggest impact I've had from bringing yoga into my life, is to live life according to my hearts compass. This provided me with the support, guidance and space to step into my true authentic self.
I want to share my love for yoga with others, my intention for every class is to provide each and every one of my students with a supportive and relaxed environment for them to spend an hour for themselves and to gain the beautiful impact yoga has on ones life.
I love working freelance! Delivering energising fitness and wellbeing I run weekly pregnancy, postnatal yoga and fitness, HITT Pilates, body conditioning and 1-2-1s. I teach family yoga workshops, postural stability correction, chair exercise in nursing home and community settings via falls prevention classes. Corporate wellbeing events, talks and fun fitness are part and parcel of my work.
After 12 years in the industry I reached Exercise Referral level in 2009. Combined quals enable me to work indoors or outdoors for clients living with controlled medical conditions. Mindfulness and meditation play a central role. Sensitive to individual needs. Emphasising technique for the right challenge, offering relevant alternatives, so everybody feels included. I correct old fashioned habits updating movement patterns to support human function in a modern world. My job guides people towards taking part so they too can experience fulfilment, self-confidence, enjoy independent thinking and movement through greater strength and mobility. Oh and of course lots of shared fun and laughter!
Hello! I'm Nansi and I've been practicing yoga for the last 3 years, my particular style is Vinyasa Flow! I am certified with Yoga Alliance and my love for yoga continues to grow everyday. My classes aim to connect the mind, body and breath. I like to encourage people to challenge themselves and you'll work hard in my class without even realising it!
I'm a certified Sound Healing Practitioner and Gong Practitioner, I qualified through the College of Sound Healing and hold full College Membership. I work across North Wales with groups (general public, corporate teams, teachers, NHS Staff and families) and individuals offering Sound Baths. I also work as a Past Life Regression Therapist and Energy Healer.
Sound Bath sessions have been described as: Relaxing, calming, centring, energising, transforming and healing. It has helped my clients with depression, stress and anxiety, emotional blockages and bereavement, pain management and illness (cancer, MS, ME…) but many also come purely for relaxation.
After spending many years living and working in Asia, I became familiar with acupuncture and Chinese style massage. It became my 'go to' treatment whenever something felt amiss. Although I didn't have much understanding into how it worked, I trusted these practitioners and their treatments always put me right. When I returned to the UK, I sought to train in TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) so that I could offer people here similar treatments that had worked so well for me. I offer Tui Na, a therapeutic massage and body work. Tui Na is used to treat specific patterns of disharmony within us, it harmonises Yin & Yang in the body by manipulating the Qi (energy) in the acupuncture channels. Tui Na can be used for specific musculoskeletal problems, but also for well-being. Also available is cupping therapy where special cups are placed on the skin to create suction. It can be used for many purposes such as inflammation, pain, blood flow, relaxation and well-being, and as a type of deep-tissue massage. I practice Traditional Chinese acupuncture and electro acupuncture. Both are excellent for a wide range of physical and emotional conditions.
For me yoga should be a nurturing place of non-judgment, acceptance and kindness. A place we can come to balance, renew and explore. I aim to guide with an emphasis on the mind and the breath … not just the physical shapes we make with our bodies.
Committed to ongoing learning and growth, I am currently studying Yoga Therapy. The relevance of ancient yogic wisdom and it's capacity to heal and connect our physical and emotional well-being fascinates me!
Generally I am happiest when with friends and dogs in our beautiful welsh hills!
If I had to sum up yoga in one word it would be 'MAGIC' – yoga is pure magic, in the way it transforms us inside and out. In 2010 I started my yoga journey with the brilliant Tori Lang in Cardiff, who masterfully introduced me to the power of yoga, and my wonderment and love for it has grown ever since.
Living in North Wales, I have been fortunate to be taught by inspirational teachers Cathy Ibbotson and Emma Huntley, both of whom continue to nurture my practice.
In 2017 I decided to take the plunge and train to be a yoga teacher with the BWY Diploma course with the wonderful Sarah Beck and started teaching yoga in July 2018. I have previously undertaken cover classes at Source Yoga for Cathy and I am delighted to now have the opportunity of running my very own class here.
In addition to teaching yoga I am also a practising artist and feel there is a real synergy between the two.


Fashion and style can be forward thinking but at the same time borrow from the past. We take a deep look at our influences and we see the past as a way to the future.
We took this soviet inspired jersey to Russia and let ourselves connect with the not so distant past.
The shadow of the Soviet Union looms still and instead of mystifying it we decided to embrace it and make it a daily life thing.


What is the Loan Origination Software solution?
Comarch Loan Origination is a modern platform dedicated to financial institutions that offer credit products for all types of customers via any sales channel. The design of our lending platform is based on the proprietary solution, Comarch Business Process Management. Thanks to this, all the parameters of a loan product, the process itself and the associated screens and printouts can be tailored according to the client's needs. Moreover, the solution can be used to design and configure any kind of business processes.
Our loan origination system provides a comprehensive service of credit processes and enables business administrators in the financial institution to independently manage all of the elements of the processes, including a process itself, user screens, printouts, business parameters and logic (algorithms). The configurability and flexibility of Comarch Loan Origination decrease the time of implementing changes or new products to the minimum. Its testing functions allow to implement correct and verified products. Thus, all functions that are necessary to sell banking products for individual or business clients are now available on a single lending platform.
Configurable underwriting algorithms take into account the credit offer conditions comparing to the customer's financial standing, its scoring/rating and results of its verification in different databases.
The module enables configuration of processes for any business area. Its intuitive graphic editor was designed and developed for business users and does not need any expert IT knowledge to use it. A short training, offered within the implementation, is all that is required to start using the tool.
One of the key elements of Comarch Loan Origination is the ability to define and manage user input forms. The module complements the process management functionality as the forms are completed by end-users at various stages of the credit process.
The module contains defined algorithms to generate a list of documents (document check-list), which should be provided by the customer. The list depends on bank-specified parameters, e.g. product type, requested amount, type of income.
For each position on the check-list, the module allows to attach digitized documents (as electronic file(s)) and link them to a customer or an application. All attached documents are archived in the repository and are available for searching and viewing by empowered users.
The module provides functions that make integration of Comarch Loan Origination with other systems, internal or external, extremely straightforward. It supports configuration of services that can be called from credit process steps. The configuration is done using a graphical interface in a very intuitive way, which makes it possible for non-technical users to carry out tasks that otherwise would need to be performed by programmers.
The primary purpose of these modules is to support bank analysts in designing and implementing optimal strategies for assessment of loan applications and credit risk related to a credit decision, and, in a wider scope, to the total debtor base. Usage of the scoring / rating module in a credit application process results in lower credit risk and therefore improves the quality of the entire debt portfolio.
The collateral module is responsible for management of credit collaterals. In particular, it covers definition of collaterals, registration of collaterals in credit process including debt securing assets, legal form and valuation, as well as registration of collaterals in the bank transactional system. Collateral once registered in the system can be used many times in within the same customer's processes.
This part of the CLO includes features that aim to facilitate the management of the entire system and many of its individual elements. These are primarily universal components that are used by multiple system modules.
Why to choose the Comarch Loan Origination?
Last but not least, Comarch has a unique combination of skills under a single roof: business, technical (design and development), UX, implementation, integration, and maintenance. During the project implementation and also after the roll-out, Comarch's goal is to accompany the client in employing new ideas and processes in order to create the optimal model adjusted to their specific needs and business context.
The modular structure of Comarch Loan Origination implies that its implementations may be performed in stages. The system modules cover the entire area of credit processes, from initial calculations and submission of the application, customer link by analyzing the creditworthiness, scoring and rating assessment, up to making an automatic or manual credit decisions, signing a credit agreement and releasing the funds in the core system of the financial institution.


October already?! I can't believe it's been a month of school but I'm low-key loving it so far! I thought I'd be that lonely potato like last year but I'm actually liking the atmosphere and people there. I'm not exactly friends with everyone but it's so much easier to be myself than it was at my previous school. (click here for memories 😂) We have so much to go through this month so as usual, check out my last wrapper post here if you missed it. Skim through to what interests you and let's get started.
It's been a while since this section appeared. 😂 I wrote about my first day here so make sure to check it out if you haven't already. All my teachers are really great but omg it took me a while to find my classes because there's some upstairs and downstairs and the school is literally 4 squares.
Not even joking, I joined like 8 clubs even though I'm pretty sure I might drop some of them if assignments get hectic. Everything's great so far to be honest (alhamdulillah). My friends, the extracurriculars, the teachers and even the people. I made a couple new friends and aah it's much better than last year's start. None of my old close friends are in any of my classes like great but it pushed me to meet new people so it turned out fine. That's basically school in a nutshell but here are a few events.
We had picture day on the first week of school like great. I literally forgot how to smile and my picture is just fjbkdhhfjigkl. We also went to watch a football game (I know, how cliche) but it was actually pretty fun. I got to know my new friends a bit better because my old ones didn't come like thanksss. I saw my teacher from last year there because she came to see her son and aah I miss her so much.
We had this event where we went to a camp for a day and played games which was surprisingly really fun. Except that I stubbed my toe 500 times from the tarazan activity. 😂 On that same day, we had a muslim club event at Skyzone which is basically a huge trampoline indoor park in USA and Canada. Kind of like Bounce in Dubai. It was so fun but literally no one from the club came so it was just me and my friend Raisin. I kept falling and the employees kept having to talk to us for violating rules like we were giving them more trouble than the 7 year olds.
My old neighbours moved away like whaaaat? We've known them for like 4 years now and literally everyone left our old neighbourhood. It was so surprising because one day there was just like we're moving tomorrow and it was so unexpected. I really hope they find it easy because moving gets hard sometimes.
There was a brunch fundraiser at our local mosque and it was pretty good. They had really good fries but where my samboosas at? Jk it was fun. There was also a run of palestine being held and that was actually so fun. Apparently the walk was supposed to be 1 km but EVERYONE went 5 km and they didn't say otherwise so I was stuck being a turtle. I walked most of the way so I didn't die…yet. 😂 We got free shawarma after and it felt really good to participate for a cause.
And finally, my neighbour drops off her baby sometimes after school to pick up her kids at the bus stop and since I arrive earlier than them, I get to take the babyyy. She's so cute mashallah but it's so funny because she automatically acts like an angel when I walk in.
That's about it for life. Here are the books I read this month.
The Boy at the Top of the Mountain – I never read third person and historical books. I usually just stick to the same genre but I thought I should branch out a bit. And oh my – this book was SO good. It was a bit boring at times but I practised reading aloud the whole thing and the ending thoughhh. It was so heartbreaking to see Pierrot go from this sweet little boy to a heartless soldier. I was so happy when they were about to poison Hitler but Pierrot just HAD to ruin it. Pierrot got so played at the end and it just shows that you'll never get satisfaction from doing bad in the world. It was so cool to see the progress of the character and John Boyne did a really great job with this book.
But Then I Came Back – This book had a really cool storyline but aw I thought Jaz was going to wake up in the end. I loved the part when she told her to let go and how the reason she died was cleared up at the end. So much family theme was shown in this book too. This book does have a lot of fantasy with the element of the afterlife because we can't describe what we haven't seen yet but other than that, it was actually pretty good.
What To Say Next – Oh. my. God. I have a lot to say about this book. So the beginning was kind of boring but the events started to pick up a bit after that. I looved the family themes on both sides but wow Kit's side definitely surprised me. I also liked seeing the different personalities since this was from both characters' point of view and so was the previous book. But I was seriously not expecting that plot twist towards the end. It would've been much better to have that plot twist in the middle because no one did anything about it at the end. And why did Kit get mad at her mom for cheating when she was the one who – okay I won't spoil it but that part was just very rushed. I liked the characters but dang, Kit and David think a lot about kissing throughout normal situations like okay? 😂 Overall, it was a pretty good book but that plot twist was just a little less effective in my opinion.
My Sister's Keeper – Okay…I lied. I didn't finish the book – I'm not even half-way there but I need your opinion. Is this book worth the read? Because with me, if a book has a movie and it's a pretty big book, I'd choose the movie because it's the same storyline so I probably don't want to waste my time twice, you know? But if any of you read the book, let me know what you think.
I had a dream that my dad wanted to visit my aunts at like 12 pm so I went with him. We stopped at a gas station and it was huge and had a bunch of people older than me from my old school. I was talking to this girl and then turns out she was Alexa from Awkward World! Apparently she was my friend's friend or something like whaaat?
This girl from my 3rd grade class who I don't really talk to threw a huge party for me. I was so confused like bruh, what? We took so much pictures and I was so "popular". But suddenly, this dream took a sudden shift and it turned paranormal? Like I don't know – everything was so eery and dark and I remember trying to escape the dream but I couldn't? This dream was so weird.
So there was a twin pair in my class apparently and they look like clones of this guy in my class from 7th grade except they had green eyes. I liked the one with the darker green eyes but the one with brighter green eyes liked me so it was this whole chain. The darker green eyed one didn't like me back (LE CRI) and was talking to this other girl. We made eye contact and omgg I literally felt something right there. It full on felt like a breakup in a turkish drama. And it's so weird because I don't even know the guy loool.
Josh from the Boring Life Of Josh (who's not even boring 😂) has so many cool beneficial posts from tips and advice to his journey and struggles with learning french. He's so so active around the blogosphere and on his blog as well so you should def give him a follow. I especially love his Why I Love Canada post like SO TRUE!
Aah thank you guys so much! I'll probably narrow this down to 3 for the next wrappers but I appreciate every single one of you who comments or even just reads my posts (don't be shy if you want to drop a comment thoo 😂)!
Go-To Outfit: BLACK CARDIGAN – I kid you not, I wear it with everythinggg!
please send me links to turtlenecks – I want oneee.
I memorized this chapter (it's the one I had to recite for the Quran contest back in June) but this verse didn't hit me until now. Sometimes we get so caught up with the distractions and worries around us that we don't even see death and accountability coming. This is a constant reminder I have to remind myself and I wish you guys knew Arabic too because the language the Quran was sent in is truly powerful and it can't be translated to English with that same effect (especially since no one speaks like thus, thou, ye anymore but I hope you understood the verse above). I usually don't write a follow-up on favourite quotes but in this case of a Quran verse, I just wanted to share with you the impact on me that I'll try to incorporate into every thought.
But first…let's see how I did.
5/7 – okay that's actually pretty good. I need to seriously up my game on Quran though.
Set Up A To-Do List and STICK TO IT!
Tell me everythingggg. Like seriously, please do. And if you already made a wrap up that I didn't comment on, you better leave self-promo in the comments rnnn. 😂 (along with a comment about this post please 😂) I'll see you guys soon.
That Selena hair gif is SO satisfying, like I don't even know why, it just is!

Idk we were kind of talking for a few seconds and then you left and I saw you with a group of people I know and you were like yeah I'm in your school remember? And I was like whaaat 😂 Thank you so much I'm glad it is too! TY I feel the same tbh. Like the whole sitting down and blogging vibes are hitting me all over again. Thanks so much for reading!
Thanks so much for the shoutout! To All The Boys I've Loved Before is soo good. Good luck on all your October goals!
I CANT WAIT TO WRITE IT TOO! Btw should I call it 'Why I Hate To All The Boys I Loved Before' or 'Is To All The Boys I Loved Before Really Worth The Hype?' It can go either way but I don't want it to seem like I hate it hate it, you know? 😂 Let me know which one sounds better.
Thank youuu and YES gurl tell me how it goes (don't watch too much – it's very addicting but so unproductive :'() Aww thank you so much!!
This has almost become a cliche at this point but just as true-I LOVE YOUR POSTS SO DARNIT MUCH!!
I actually had another dream that I met you this month, but for some reason it got really weird and we were chasing seagulls or something and then my pointe shoes sprouted wings like the keys in Harry Potter….(I know, my dreams are borderline demented) but I also had one where I was about to meet one of my favorite fictional characters (not Artemis Fowl unfortunately, it was Halt from the Ranger's Apprentice books, lol) and I was like incredibly excited…annnnd then I fell on my face…and realized that I was wearing dance clothes and so the character was just like "ummmm, what?" and of course I ws just mortified beyond belief, like whyyyyy. Thank goodness it was a dream, haha.
I'd LOVE to see pictures of your hair if you're comfortable sending me pictures, no pressure, I'm sure it's fabulously gorgeous 🙂 I had so many short pieces in the front of my hair that I had to start doing this complicated braid/bun thing to keep them under control fopr dance. Onnnn the upside though, the jerk I was dealing with hasn't been too awful, so yayyy.
And the biggest new of all this month….this antisocial potato made a friennnnndd! Is it sad that I'm so incredibly excited about that? idk.
GIRL YES PLEASE, STALK ME IN YOUR SLEEP. Ohhh, I always have dreams where I realize there's a huge hole in my shirt and my bra is showing like what the heck?
Aah I know right!! It feels so nice compared to my frizzy hair 😂 Yeah..let's just say I wasn't very careful with my hair before either. My mindset was basically why would I brush it if it's going to tangle in the shower again? It took the woman 4 hours to do my hair so yeah me neither but I might go back and do it again later on. Thanks for reading!
thanks for the shoutout!are you on Instagram?

A bus accident can be a devastating event that leads to life-changing injuries and even death. Bus accidents are occurring with increasing frequency on America's local streets and highways, making them a real safety concern for even non-bus riders.
In 2014 alone, there were 69,000 bus accidents in the U.S. and 281 fatalities. While a third of those fatalities (91) involved school bus accidents, the others were on commercial buses such as commuter buses and tour buses. Other accidents involve serious injury and property damage for which victims are left wondering where to seek just compensation.
Many accidents involving commercial buses involve driver error or even gross negligence. Just like an airline pilot, a bus driver is held to a higher standard of care because they are responsible for the safety of passengers in their vehicle. If a bus driver has a history of reckless driving or is careless on the road and an accident occurs, you may have a claim for personal injury or even wrongful death.
A bus accident might occur on a commercial bus for several reasons. If you are on a cross-country bus with a driver that doesn't know the area, have experience driving in inclement weather, or is overtired, the chances of a bus accident go up significantly. Some bus accidents also occur due to faulty equipment or a lack of proper maintenance. Other bus drivers are reckless in their driving, don't follow the rules of the road, or even drive while under the influence. In some of these cases, the driver, the bus company, or more than one party could be at fault in a potential accident on the road.
Not many buses today are equipped with safety belts and few people wear them even when they're present. However, because a bus is such a big vehicle, injuries in an accident could range from minor sprains and strains to major head injuries or even death. In a serious bus accident where the vehicle rolls over, head trauma, organ damage, and death are more common.
Many injuries and fatalities from bus accidents also occur to passengers in other vehicles. If you were driving in your car and were struck by a commercial bus, it was probably a devastating crash. Not only is your car likely totaled, but you and your passengers have probably sustained some pretty serious injuries.
The same is true for pedestrians and cyclists. These often deadly accidents involving a bus and a pedestrian are heartbreaking. Buses sometimes fail to yield to pedestrians, even those walking in designated crosswalks. Not only are bus drivers and companies held financially responsible for these cases, but they often have criminal penalties as well.
Depending on the severity of the injury, medical care and hospitalization could be expensive and long-term. Long-term care for a traumatic brain injury (TBI) could reach as high as $5 to $15 million for a lifetime. Other injuries might require surgery, physical therapy, and medication management.
In many cases, passengers in a bus aren't paying attention to the road so really don't know who is at fault in a bus accident. If the accident is with another vehicle or a pedestrian, the victim or witnesses may see obvious evidence of fault. Even if the driver is to blame and fault is clear, securing restitution for injury and damages isn't always easy.
For example, sometimes more than one party is at fault in a bus accident, and everyone needs to be identified. Even if the driver was completely at fault, the bus company is responsible for that driver and could face liability. In some cases, the driver wasn't at fault at all, and vehicle malfunction is to blame for a tragic accident. Here, a part manufacturer or the bus company who failed to maintain the vehicle could be liable.
If you are involved in a commercial bus accident in Mississippi, you may receive a quick response from the bus company and its insurance company to try to meet your needs. Be very careful with these experts who don't have your best interests at heart.
The reality is that an insurance company represents the bus company and is in the business of saving it as much money as possible. They might deny your claim, stating that the bus company or driver weren't at fault. Or, they might accept your claim and attempt to reach a quick settlement that is far below what your injury and suffering are worth.
In some cases, a bus company will be self-insured instead of having a commercial insurance policy. This is the same idea as an insured bus company with one difference. Since the money is coming directly out of their pockets, the claims person hired could be even more aggressive in trying to get you to settle your case and jeopardize your rights.
In either case, anytime you are involved in bus accident, you should speak to qualified Mississippi bus accident attorney as quickly as possible. An experienced bus accident lawyer can help protect your rights and deal with insurance company representatives on your behalf.
Bus accidents are traumatic events that are unexpected and often results in serious injury and property damage. Your first priority should be to get needed medical treatment as soon as possible. Any delay could affect your health and jeopardize your case.
Next, you need to contact an experienced bus accident attorney in South Mississippi that will protect and fight for your rights. You may be entitled to compensation for injuries and disability from the accident, including payment for lost wages, medical bills, and pain and suffering. When death occurs, the responsible parties could face a wrongful death case as well as face criminal charges.
The longer you wait to seek help from an experienced bus accident lawyer, the larger the advantage the other side could enjoy. Contact the Gardner Law Office to schedule a free consultation. We'll discuss your case and explain how our services can help.

Livingstone staffer elected to regional Association on institutional research
Posted by web_admin_BBI | Sep 11, 2019 | December 2017 Cover Story and Articles
Laverne Macon-Jamison
Laverne Macon-Jamison, assistant director of institutional effectiveness and research at Livingstone College, was recently installed as a member at-large of the Southern Association for Institutional Research. She was elected by her peers from colleges and universities of the thirteen southern states that comprise SAIR and was installed to serve a two-year term during its annual conference in Fort Worth, Tex.
SAIR is dedicated to research that leads to improved understanding, planning and operation of institutions of post-secondary education. It provides a forum for the dissemination of information and interchange of ideas on problems of common interest in institutional research and promotes the continued professional development of individuals in the field.
Additionally, many members of SAIR serve on the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools' visiting teams and are readers of SACSCOC reports.
Macon-Jamison said she has observed many changes in institutional research over the years, having been involved on the national level with the Association for Institutional Research, the regional level with SAIR, as well as the organization's state level, the North Carolina Association for Institutional Research.
"Technology has changed at an extremely rapid pace, making many of the institutional research tasks easier, less time-consuming and efficient in the ability to gather data and organize and present the findings," she said.
Macon-Jamison's previous affiliations with Institutional Research include serving as a proposal reader for AIR's annual conference; former chairwoman of the nominating committee; former chairwoman of the local arrangement committee for the 2016 annual conference in Charlotte; a member of the NCAIR executive board for six years; a two-term elected NCAIR treasurer; and a former NCAIR president.
At Livingstone, Macon-Jamison serves as the focal point for institutional research-related issues to include mandated reporting to the federal and state government, and data analyses to support decision-making at various levels within the institution. Her career spans more than thirty-three years in higher education with thirteen years in institutional research. She has previously worked as an adjunct instructor of business, director of records/registrar, co-director of a census information center and research specialist. She has also served in key roles on several institutional leadership teams for SACSCOC and for the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education.
She has a bachelor's degree in business administration from Barber-Scotia College and a master's degree in business administration from Strayer University. She also has pursued further studies in management at Walden University.
"This is truly an honor for Laverne Macon-Jamison as well as for Livingstone College. Her election to this board is a testament to her passion and involvement in her field," said Dr. Jimmy R. Jenkins Sr., the president of Livingstone College. "She will offer a diverse perspective and exchange of ideas that will benefit her work at Livingstone as well as other similar institutions."

12th-ranked Gamecocks turn to RB Kenny Miles against Arkansas after injury to Lattimore
COLUMBIA, S.C. – Kenny Miles wasn't sure he wanted to spend another season just getting spot duty when South Carolina star Marcus Lattimore needed a breather. Now, all the eyes are again on Miles when the 12th-ranked Gamecocks face Arkansas.
Miles was South Carolina's leading rusher in 2009, but that was the year before Lattimore came to campus and became one of the Southeastern Conference's top rushers.
Miles went through Senior Day festivities last fall as he considered leaving the program after four seasons. Miles stayed, though, and will start Saturday against the Razorbacks (4-5, 2-3 SEC).
"I'm prepared and ready to go," said Miles, a fifth-year senior.
It's the first game for South Carolina (7-2, 5-2) since the gruesome knee injury to Lattimore two weeks ago against Tennessee. Lattimore has had surgery and could need more than a year of recovery. He was supposed to be at Williams-Brice Stadium this weekend as the school unveils his name in the building as the team's all-time leader in rushing touchdowns (38).
But on Thursday, the school said team physician Dr. Jeffrey Guy, trainer Clint Haggard and Lattimore decided the junior shouldn't attend.
While the fans won't get to cheer for Lattimore, there could be plenty of praise for Miles, who stuck it out after Lattimore surpassed him.
Miles started seven games and rushed for 626 yards as a freshman three years ago. But he'd gained only 356 yards the next two seasons as Lattimore ate up yardage and helped South Carolina to a 20-7 record — the school's best ever two-year mark.
It wasn't easy for Miles to watch, but he liked Lattimore and loved the team's success.
"Of course, you want to be the starting back, but you've got to think what's best for the team at the time that was what was best for the team," he said. "I was happy we were winning and I wasn't really worried about me personally."
But with his pending graduation last December, Miles thought hard about what was next. He was not the team's first choice when Lattimore injured his left knee last October, freshman Brandon Wilds starting.
Miles ran out onto the field for senior ceremonies against Clemson, not really expecting he'd play a key role with 71 yards rushing in South Carolina's 34-13 victory later that night.
Miles got the start in the Capital One Bowl and had 67 yards in the 30-13 win, then started wondering if he wanted to play one last year — even as Lattimore's backup.
Spurrier remembered Miles asking if he could come back. "And I said, 'Sure, you can come back if you want to,'" he said.
Miles will have to pick his way through an Arkansas defense that's allowed just 125 yards rushing a game, fifth in the SEC. Although the team will be without suspended linebacker Terrell Williams, arrested last weekend for driving while intoxicated.
Arkansas struggled at the start of the season after an offseason of upheaval centered on disgraced ex-coach, Bobby Petrino. The Razorbacks have improved the past month, winning three of four. They've won five of the past six games against South Carolina, including the last three.
"We went to South Carolina last time and got a big win. We were here last year and got a big win. So, they know that we're going to come in and battle," Arkansas quarterback Tyler Wilson said. "We're not laying down against these guys."
Wilson leads the SEC in passing yards, something the Gamecocks looked particularly vulnerable to in their last outing when Tennessee's Tyler Brad threw for 388 yards and four touchdowns in a 38-35 win.
It took defensive end Jadeveon Clowney's strip sack of Bray to stop the driving Vols from moving in front with less than two minutes left.
The Gamecocks, coming off a bye, have had more than a week to fix what went wrong against Tennessee. Clowney chalked up the poor showing to the loss of Lattimore, a stunningly gruesome injury to a team captain.
"I think a lot of people were down, not even thinking about the game" after Lattimore's injury, Clowney said. "I think we're going to be more focused this game."
Miles plans to take the same approach he always has. Spurrier says Miles' maturity has helped the younger players. Miles stays inside watching horror films and comedies instead of attending parties. He prefers jazz and R&B to rap and he'll often go for a five-mile run after games to clear his head.
"He's a super Gamecock," Spurrier said. "I think our fans and all the Gamecocks appreciate that he decided to stay for five years."

El torreón del Alamín es una torre de la antigua muralla de la ciudad de Guadalajara (España), parte de la que era la puerta del Postigo. Se sitúa en lo que era el lado norte de la muralla, sobre el barranco del Alamín y detrás de la concatedral de Santa María. Originalmente vigilaba el acceso a la ciudad desde el arrabal del Alamín; actualmente se encuentra en su interior un centro de interpretación en torno a la muralla de la ciudad.

Descripción

Forma parte un conjunto constituido por el propio torreón y por el puente de las Infantas. Es un torreón de planta cuadrada, de unos veinte metros de altura desde la base en el fondo del barranco. Está construido en argamasa y mampostería y los muros tiene casi dos metros de anchura. Tiene dos pisos, comunicados a través de una estrecha escalera de caracol. Se accede por el lado sur, a pie de calle, por una sencilla puerta adintelada. En piso superior se abre por el mismo lado una puerta en arco de medio punto, que era el acceso original al torreón. También el piso superior, pero en el lado norte, mirando a El Alamín, se abren dos pequeños balcones de vigilancia. En los muros se abren algunas aspilleras hacia extramuros.

Historia
El torreón del Alamín forma parte de las murallas reforzadas y renovadas entre los siglos XIII y XIV. Daba acceso a través del puente de las infantas a El Alamín, el principal arrabal musulmán de la ciudad, situado al noreste. En el siglo XVIII, perdido el uso militar, fue sede de un hospital. El 23 de mayo de 1921 fue declarado Monumento Nacional y en 2004 se reabrió al público como centro de interpretación de las murallas de Guadalajara.

UK US Tax provides tax planning advice for its clients, including ways for U.S. citizens to minimize their worldwide tax liabilities. For non U.S. persons, we can advise regarding pre-immigration planning or with respect to investments in U.S. assets. Often times this involves U.S. real estate and inheritance and real estate issues.
U.S. citizens living abroad are confronted with a number of different issues, including maximizing their ability to credit foreign taxes, avoiding adverse implications associated with investment in foreign companies, and making various elections required under the Internal Revenue Code regarding corporate holdings and activities. These issues are often exacerbated when the American citizen has a non U.S. citizen spouse.
For non Americans, the U.S. tax system is complex and formidable. Often, however, it is possible to take advantage of a number of elective provisions, such as the "check-the-box" rules and the "net election" rules to reduce, if not eliminate, U.S. tax on investments made by non-U.S. persons. Nowhere is making elections more crucial than in the acquisition of U.S. real estate (whether directly or through holding vehicles). UK US Tax has been assisting non U.S. persons in tax efficient structuring for their U.S. source investments, including minimizing the effect of the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act (FIRPTA) and avoiding pitfalls that potentially can cause a U.S. investment to be taxed at three different levels in the United States.
For non U.S. individuals moving to the United States, UK US Tax has devised a number of techniques to minimize U.S. taxes. These include not only structures for the ultra high net worth individuals, such as using insurance wrappers and deferred variable annuities, but also practical solutions that can be implemented at lower costs for basic issues. Likewise, a move to the United States may involve the need to sell a family residence which may not be possible prior to arrival in the United States. We have been able to plan appropriately to allow clients to obtain a fair market value for the U.K. family home without triggering a tax or stamp duty charge; thus allowing for an orderly sale at a time that suits the taxpayer moving to the United States rather than being accelerated to avoid U.S. tax costs that would otherwise apply.
Reducing the U.S. tax burden is not, however, the only issue confronting U.S. and non U.S. taxpayers. Indeed, taxpayers must take into account the taxes imposed by a number of jurisdictions worldwide to arrive at the most effective global solution to their tax problems. UK US Tax coordinates US advice with professional advice in a number of other European, North American and Asian countries in which the UK US Tax Services partners have worked over the years. UK US partners are regular speakers at various training seminars including FACTA and host an annual tax conference with 20 tax professionals from jurisdictions throughout the world, ensuring that non U.S. advice is readily available in a multitude of different jurisdictions.

Four Ways The Power Rangers Movie Differs From the Original TV Series
Editorials, Entertainment
Bryan Cranston Editorial GWW Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Power Rangers power rangers movie saban Zordon Zords
(WARNING: This article contains minor spoiler for the new Power Rangers movie. You've been warned.)
I should probably mention that I grew up watching Power Rangers when it first aired in the US back in 1993. There's a little bit of a sense of pride that comes along with that because I feel like one of the first generation fans. I stuck around through the epic Green Ranger saga, and stopped at about the Alien Rangers series. Of course, it only made sense for me to tap into my childhood and watch this new #PowerRangers movie, which seeks to reboot the movie franchise.
I must admit that I was initially pretty skeptical about the movie. Not only that, but I was even more skeptical because news broke out that there were plans for five additional sequels to be made before the movie was even released.
Needless to say, I was shocked upon watching the movie at just how much the film differed from the original TV series. Here are some of those ways:
4. Tonal Shift
The original Power Rangers TV show was incredibly lighthearted. After all, it was a program geared towards children as an after-school show. Even the bullies were a constant joke.
However, in Power Rangers, it wasn't so simple. The bullies weren't jokes or humorous. The main group of characters actually were "troubled teens." They didn't have the very simple situations like, "Oh no, I don't think I'll get an A+ in Math class. I'm really bummed out." *cue dramatic, sad music*
Instead, they faced real-life issues with their friends, family and even within themselves. Not only that, but we see characters like Zordon (played by Bryan Cranston) also have some darker ambitions compared to the Zordon from the TV show.
3. Target Audience Shift
Along with the darker tone, the movie is clearly shifting its target audience's age range. The TV series was rated TV-Y7 meaning that it was generally suitable for audiences ages 7 years old and up. It was a family friendly series that kids could watch without parental guidance.

The movie, on the other hand, is rated PG-13. That's actually a shift even from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie (1995), which was rated PG. Power Rangers featured a scene that appears to contain under-aged drinking. It also uses bit more mature language. If you really pay attention, you may recall that in the TV series, they would use a phrase like, "I will destroy you!" Instead, they just come out with it and say something like, "I will KILL you!" Parents be advised.
2. Politically Correct Inclusion
For some time, there's been this notion that the original TV series was kind of racist with their casting and placement of the Power Rangers. The two that got the most attention were the the Black Ranger (played by an African American) and the Yellow Ranger (played by an Asian actress).
As the series progressed, the show did try to mix up the Power Rangers' colors and ethnicities to help dispel the notion of racist stereotyping. The first Black Ranger, played by Walter Jones, also clears up the misconception of racist casting here:
Well, the movie didn't want to feed into that misunderstanding at all, so it went ahead and cast the actors in different colored suits. The reboot has a Mexican American actress (Becky G) playing a queer character, and an African American actor (RJ Cycler) playing an autistic character. Ludi Lin is a Chinese-Canadian who does a nice job of shattering some of the Asian male character archetypes. I believe Naomi Scott (The Pink Ranger, "Kimberly") is also of Gujarati Indian decent and Dacre Montgomery (Red Ranger, "Jason") is Australian.
1. Character Development
Unlike the original TV series, we finally get just a little bit more background information on the past history of Zordon and Rita Repulsa (played by Elizabeth Banks). While some information may have been a one-liner briefly mentioned in the TV show, the movie starts right off with a visual glimpse of their multi-million year long conflict.

The TV series, unfortunately, didn't really take the time to develop the relationship between the teens. The entire process was done in practically a few minutes in the very first episode. The Rangers were hand picked, knew automatically what to do (even if they didn't know how to fight), and became best buds overnight. In the movie however, we get a much more authentic journey with this group of Power Rangers. We see how their friendships begin, how they are challenged as a group, and how they come together to be friends.

Minor Difference: Maintaining The Fantasy
One thing that the TV series actually did that I appreciated was maintain a better sense of balance in the fantasy of being a Power Ranger. It's just my opinion that while the Power Rangers are fighting, their masks/helmets should stay on. In the TV show, after a Ranger morphed, you'd rarely see the actor's face when they were not fighting or in action. To be more specific, I'm talking about the Rangers keeping their helmets/masks on while battling in their zords.
The movie, on the contrary, had no issue with consistently showing the Power Rangers' faces by having the masks open on their helmets. Maybe that was the Hollywood treatment of wanting to always show the actor. I'm not entirely sure. As a fan of the original series (and maybe I'm just a stickler in that sense) I just thought it was distracting from the illusion. During their final battle, they basically had their masks open the whole time.
At the end of the day, whether you're fan of any of the TV series or not, I think this new Power Rangers movie is well worth the watch. It's also looking like a very promising franchise. I personally hope that one of those future films is a prequel and treated similarly to how Rouge One: A Star Wars Movie is in relation to Star Wars: A New Hope.

Late December is, for many people, a time of introspection and self-reflection. For me, Christmas Eve is particularly sacred in that regard. As long as I can remember, I stayed up extra late on Christmas Eve--not to wait for Santa or in anticipation of opening gifts the following morning--but to allow myself time to reflect on how my life has changed since the previous year's Christmas Eve and muse as to how my life might change before the next one rolls around. As I reflect, I always attempt to thank God for the blessings, lessons, and difficulties of the past year and also for the hope that comes with the next.
This past year, Masonically, has been a whirlwind adventure for which I am very thankful. I've been blessed with many new friendships with brethren across the world through The Masonic Roundtable, Midnight Freemasons, and Masonic Radio Theatre. I've also been granted increasing responsibility in my mother lodge, and look forward to my time in the East in the coming years.
1. Temperance: Spend more time with family.
Masonry is a vast, complex machine with many moving parts; however, it has relatively few workers to keep those parts moving and may have fewer in the future if current Masonic membership trends persist. As a result, Masonry has no shortage of work for those men who choose to be active--even to the point where family life suffers as a result. This year, I resolve to give my family the quality time they need.
2. Fortitude: Put all I can into my lodge.
Spending more quality time with my family doesn't mean that I slack off on my Masonic duties. Masonry should be about quality, not quantity. As such, I resolve to give my Masonic endeavors my all (within the length of my cable tow) this year, recognizing that I cannot (and should not) do everything; but what I do do, I should do exceptionally well.
3. Prudence: Exercise more patience.
We all know brethren who drive us nuts for whatever reason (if you're on reddit or facebook, you probably know several). While our obligations may keep us from completely writing them off or telling them where to shove it (or may not, depending on how you frame them), disharmony in the Craft can still abound in cases where brethren rub each other the wrong way. This year, I resolve to exercise more patience with brethren I find difficult to befriend and relieve.
4. Justice: Be as good of a man as I can be. All the time.
We've heard it time and time again. Masonry makes good men better. Why else would we join? You can read the rituals online. A non-mason can buy a Masonic bumper sticker to put on his car or lapel pin for his jacket if he wants to do so. We're here to build each other into men of high values and character; as a Mason, it is my duty to be as good of a man as I can be, as I resolve to do the same to the best of my ability throughout the next year.
As we move forward into 2015, I wish all brethren wheresoever dispersed a joyous new year filled with temperance, fortitude, prudence, and justice--four virtues upon which our craft was built, all of which are essential tools to master as we go forth and attempt to carry out our end goal as Masons: to make good men better.

Yes, you read that right, The Eggnog Riot. It all started back in December of 1826, when some cadets of the West Point Military Academy wanted to smuggle whiskey into said academy for the Christmas party. At that time, alcohol possession, drunkenness and intoxication were absolutely prohibited and would result in expulsion. Even use of tobacco or gambling would get you minor incarceration, loss of privileges etc.
Once the cadets had learned that the eggnog would have to be alcohol free, they promptly decided to smuggle some in. On December 22nd, a few cadets, namely William R. Burnley, Alexander J. Center and Samuel Alexander Roberts were at Martin's Tavern and almost got into a fight with another local watering hole over the business of getting this much sought after whiskey into West Point.
The three cadets managed to convince Private James Dougan to let them cross the Hudson River to smuggle the whiskey in. They had only planned on acquiring one half gallon of whiskey as a base for the eggnog, however they ended up with a whole lot more than that.
Thanks to Phillip St. George who was the Duty Guard for that day (24 hour shift), the three cadets managed to score two gallons of whiskey for the Christmas party which would be taken back to the North Barracks in room #33. However it may have been help from Bro. T. M. Lewis who came through with the clutch when he acted accordingly to acquire a gallon of rum which he delivered to North Barracks Room #5.
The cadets made their plans and while Superintendent Sylvanus Thayer was attending his own administrative holiday party, the cadets, including Bro. Jefferson Davis (President of the Confederate States During the Civil War) started to party as well, even Robert E. Lee was present. The movie Animal House comes to mind. Below is a time line of events which eventually ended with court-martials and expulsions.
Nathaniel Eaton (Massachusetts) was the cadet in charge of the external post of the North Barracks. Captain Ethan Allen Hitchcock, a faculty member in military tactics, was also stationed in the North Barracks. Eaton and Hitchcock met and discussed the smuggled liquor in the North Barracks.
The eggnog party started among nine cadets in North Barracks Room No. 28. Numerous cadets appeared as the party progressed, while another party began in Room No. 5, mentioned by seven cadets including Davis. Farrelly went again to North's or Havens and returned with another gallon of whiskey early on Christmas morning.
Cadet Charles Whipple (Michigan Territory), the division superintendent during the first part of the incident, went to North Barracks Room No. 5 at 02:00 after hearing a commotion, interrupting a round of singing among eight cadets, including Davis. Whipple returned to his room after a verbal exchange with Davis and the other cadets. Hitchcock made another patrol around the barracks at 03:00. Lieutenant William A. Thornton was asleep while the events unfolded.
By 04:00, voices from the floor above Hitchcock were loud enough to cause the faculty member to investigate Room No. 28, where Hitchcock knocked on the door and found six cadets drunk from the eggnog, as well as two others sleeping on a bed. Hitchcock ordered two of the cadets back to their rooms. After they left, Hitchcock woke the two sleeping cadets and ordered them to leave as well. Then he confronted Cadet James W.M. "Weems" Berrien (Georgia), who responded with equal force. Hitchcock read the Riot Act to the residents of the room for possessing alcohol on the premises. The captain left the room at 04:15. Berrien began verbalising his rage toward Hitchcock, which led William D.C. "Billy" Murdock (District of Columbia) to lead an effort to organize a riot against Hitchcock.
Hitchcock went down to his room to sleep. Three times he heard knocks on the door only to find no one there. After finding another cadet drunk, Hitchcock saw Davis head over to Room No. 5 where thirteen cadets were partying. Davis, seeing Hitchcock's arrival, warned the other cadets. The captain entered the room, ordering one of the cadets to open up another cadet's footlocker, but the cadet refused. Hitchcock ordered no more disorder, left the room, and started looking for Thornton around 04:50.
Meanwhile Thornton had strolled the North Barracks between 21:00 on the 24th and 02:00 on Christmas Day observing the ongoing partying, before going to sleep at 02:00. He was awoken by loud yells and, once out of his room, was attacked by two cadets. Thornton then put cadet William P.N. Fitzgerald (New York) under arrest for brandishing a weapon. Fitzgerald retreated from Thornton, then told two cadets in Room No. 29 about the arrest.
At this point, noises erupted from the South Barracks which distracted Thornton. While going to investigate that commotion, Thornton was knocked out by Roberts, who had been ejected from Room No. 28 by Hitchcock earlier that evening.
Davis was asleep, but other cadets went looking for Hitchcock. Three other cadets were discovered by Cadet James G. Overton (Tennessee), a relief sentinel and not involved in the parties, and questioned about their actions. They gave a drunken explanation about needing drums and a fife.
At around 05:00, Hitchcock found another inebriated cadet wandering the academy.
By this point, several window panes had been broken. Hitchcock returned to the room where he was staying, No. 8. Several cadets then attacked his door, Guion drawing his pistol and firing a shot into the room. Hitchcock opened the door and yelled at the cadets to stop. The captain then began arresting cadets.
Hitchcock ordered Eaton to find Worth's headquarters. Overton asked Hitchcock to find Thayer and Hitchcock replied "No, Mr. Overton. Fetch the 'com'(Commandant Worth) here!" Several of the drunken cadets thought Hitchcock had stated the Bombardiers would be the ones to quell the riot, using heavy weapons, causing several cadets who were not drunk to take up arms in defence of the North Barracks. Thayer had been awoken at 05:00 by the sound of drums. He ordered his aide, Patrick Murphy, to get Major Worth because of what he could hear going on in the North Barracks.
Hitchcock continued restoring order in the North Barracks, getting into a fight with Cadet Walter Otey (Virginia).Thornton awoke from the stairway where he had been knocked out and returned to his room. Hitchcock greeted him in his room at 05:45. By 06:00, other cadets who were not drinking were also involved in restoring order. The main rioters were attempting to recruit other cadets, but with no success.
Overton could not find Cadet Eaton, who was checking the South Barracks, but did find Major Worth. Hitchcock met Worth and told him what had transpired. By this time, Thayer's aide had arrived in the North Barracks' guardroom. The Second Artillery had arrived at the North Barracks by the time of Reveille at 06:05.
Reveille sounded at 06:05, along with gunfire, the sound of glass breaking, profanity by cadets, cries of pain, and threats on Academy officials. North Barracks residents who were not drunk from the eggnog were appalled by the damaged property. Cadets in the South Barracks were well rested, while other cadets in the North Barracks were disheveled. Some of the cadets remained in their rooms drinking, although some appeared in parade formation despite being drunk. Worth met with Superintendent Thayer after the first formation to discuss what had happened in the North Barracks the previous evening. Thayer instructed Worth to get the officers into the North Barracks and restore order.
Captain Mackay, Academy quartermaster, took down details of the damages to the property at North Barracks so repairs could take place in the following days. Many cadets who were drunk made it to company roll call at 06:20, though they were subdued. The mutiny officially ended when Cadet Captain James A.J. Bradford (Kentucky) called the corps to attention and dismissed them from the mess hall after breakfast. Chapel formation took place after breakfast, followed by two hours of service, with most of the drunk cadets still recovering.
Thayer was advised by Worth regarding the events at North Barracks. Captain Hitchcock and Lieutenant Thornton were bruised, while several cadets suffered minor injuries, and Fitzgerald suffered a hand injury. Worth told Thayer that between fifty and ninety cadets had been involved in the mutiny. Later that day, Thayer met with Governor Kemble, an ordnance manufacturer in Cold Spring, New York, to discuss different items, including the events at West Point. Kemble asked Thayer what he would do about the misconduct, to which Thayer replied he did not know.
A faculty and staff meeting took place, with all but Captain Thomas C. Legate of the 2nd Artillery A Battery and a few assistant professors in attendance. Thayer informed them that Major General Alexander Macomb, Chief of Engineers and Inspector General of the Academy, had been told of the riot, and that he was awaiting orders from Macomb. The superintendent also informed the attendees that an inquiry would take place during semester finals in January 1827, so some of the cadets would face simultaneous examinations and inquiry.
Cadet Battalion Order 98 was read at formation and posted at several prominent locations at the Academy. Twenty-two cadets were placed under house arrest until further notice; among them was Davis, who had been reported as a malefactor by Hitchcock and Thornton.
Certainly a good time and a bunch of cadets, a handful of whom were Brothers of the craft were determined to have some spirits for their Christmas party. Perhaps keeping passions within due bonds was a lesson they forgot about. Either way, I hope you found the story interesting and maybe just a little funny.

Over the last year, we have had many Guest Contributors to our site. It has been a huge help to have new perspectives and styles of writing about Masonic subjects available to the readership. This year in fact, we had 27 guest posts! So much great work and at the beginning of the year we brought one of them aboard. This was of course, Bro. Robert Walk Jr.
Toward the middle of the year we brought on Bro. Jason Richards, and now just before the close of the year, it is with great pleasure I am able to add to the rolls of the regular contributors once again. Please join me in welcoming Bro. Adam Thayer!
Brother Thayer brings a very academic approach to our blog, as he is on the Committee of Education for the Grand Lodge of Nebraska. He is also a member of two lodges there and is "in line" in both of them, which is quite a commitment. He is a member of the Scottish Rite and Knights of St. Andrew as well.
I know I enjoy his writing and perspective into the craft, and I think you will too!
With the success of Dan Brown's new book The Lost Symbol there seems to be an increase in interest with more people inquiring about our Masonic fraternity. The book is about the symbols of Freemasonry. One would only hope that there would be a similar resurgence of interest by our brethren in making the journey of studying about our fraternity, its philosophy, its history, and the meaning of the symbols that make up our ritual.
When a candidate first knocks upon the door separating the preparation room from the lodge hall he starts upon this journey of enlightenment about our brotherhood. The candidate is introduced as having been in darkness and now seeks light by being brought into the fraternity of Freemasonry. In the first section of the Entered Apprentice degree the candidate is asked what he most desires. The response elicited is "light". In the first section of the Fellowcraft degree his response to a similar query is "more light. In the first section of the Master Mason degree ritual, the appropriate response is "further light". This seems to imply that the authors of our Illinois ritual indicated that the achievement of the Master Mason degree is not an end to our Masonic education, but there is much more. There is nowhere in the ritual of symbolic or blue lodge Freemasonry where a brother is given the "most light" or a completion of the quest to find light in masonry.
Attendance has fallen drastically at lodge meetings. The number of new petitions has also diminished in recent years. Why is it that Freemasonry has fallen in popularity? Why is it that even when new masons are brought into the lodge that they are no longer active after being raised to the degree of Master Mason? Many blame the current situation with our economy. People are having a hard enough time making ends meet and having to spend time with their occupations and their families. Freemasonry no longer occupies a prominent place in our culture.
In the volume 14, 2005 edition the Transactions of the Illinois Lodge of Research, Brother Edward A. Rund authored an article entitled, We Are Failing Our Masonic Educators. Brother Rund stated that statistics indicate that over 95% of the new Master Masons felt no need to return to lodge and take an active interest in our fraternity. Of those that do return to lodge they only do so sporadically. Few of our new Master Masons take on the obligation of becoming officers in their lodge. Brother Rund places the reason for this fall off in Masonic feeling on the lack of a focus on Masonic education.
In volume 16, 2007 of the Transactions of the Illinois Lodge of Research, Brother Neil Neddermeyer, Past Grand Master of Minnesota, postulated that there are three groups of Masons. There are those that feel that Freemasonry is a social club. A second category consists of those that feel that the main function of Freemasonry is to support charities and philanthropic institutions. Finally, there are those Masons that are in the fraternity to receive Masonic light and learn as much as possible of Masonic symbolism, history and philosophy. While all of these reasons for becoming Masons are important, it is this latter group of brethren that this article is trying to reach.
Rollin C. Blackmer, in his book, The Lodge and the Craft, states that at the writing of the book in 1976, there were more than 100,000 brethren who held memberships in Masonic lodges in the state of Missouri. Of this number he postulated that perhaps 75 were sufficiently interested in the brotherhood to undertake further study of the fraternity to which they belonged. This is a most lamentable state of affairs, which, I submit, continues to this day. Perhaps if more of our brethren took on the task of learning about our fraternity we could greatly increase attendance at lodge and bring along a cadre of brethren who would take on the roles of leaders in their lodge. Ritual is important. It is the ritual that is the first exposure that a candidate has to the philosophy of masonry. The ritual consists of the lessons that freemasonry teaches so that a brother can lead a life that is rich and fulfilling. As Blackmer states, "The ritual is the vehicle which the principals of Freemasonry ride into the hearts and minds of men." However, the words of the ritual are not enough. It is the meaning of the words that lead men to live up to our teaching. These words are capable of interpretation that is nuanced by the historical background of those who wrote them. A study of the history and symbolism of the ritual is essential to understanding the meaning behind the words. There is much research to indicate that it is easier to learn ritual when one understands the meaning of the words that are being memorized.
There are many areas of Masonic research that can be undertaken depending on the inclinations of each individual brother. Some brethren may become interested in the history of the craft. Others will take an interest in the philosophy of Freemasonry. Those with a legal bent may become interested in Masonic jurisprudence. There is also the symbolism inherent in the words of our ritual. The bottom line is that there is something for everyone in our fraternity. The full meaning of Freemasonry becomes a life long study of the various aspects of our brotherhood. This study can be rewarding and give the Masonic brother a meaning for life and, as our ritual tells us, "There stands a just and upright Mason".
A Real Deal Masonic Degree You Can Give Your Wife!
Okay, so I hope the title drew you in, but this is serious! In my searches for Masonic tidbits and sometimes, what some would call scandalous information, I recently came across an interesting entry. It is from the 1916 edition of Mackey's Masonic Encyclopedia - And it's Kindred Sciences. The entry I am writing about is called "The Masons Wife and Daughter" and it references a real degree, or possibly degrees (explained later) that any Master Mason may confer to any woman in his life as long as they meet the requirements. The purpose? To seemingly give a way to be recognized among those of the fraternity.
MASON'S WIFE AND DAUGHTER .
A Degree frequently conferred in the United States on the wives, daughters, sisters and mothers of Freemasons, to secure to them, by investing them with a peculiar mode of recognition, the aid and assistance of the Fraternity. It may he conferred by any Master Mason, and the requirement is that the recipient shall be the wife, unmarried daughter, unmarried sister, or widowed mother of a Master Mason. It is sometimes called the Holy Virgin, and has been by some deemed of so much importance that a Manual of it, with the title of The Ladies' Masonry, or Hieroglyphic Monitor, was published at Louisville, Kentucky, in 1851, by Past Grand Master William Leigh, of Alabama.
Not much information exists on this "Holy Virgin" degree that was so popular in 1851 that the ritual was even printed, and that Mackey states it was "…A degree frequently conferred…". Some fairly basic searches for this book, brings you a library search where the subtext of the title is revealed, and what a surprise it offers! The subtext reads, "Hieroglyphic monitor : containing all the emblems explaind in the degrees of the Holy Virgin and Heroine of Jericho, duly arranged, to which are added illustrations, addresses, & c" I wonder what happened to this degree or degrees, was it absorbed into one of the other appendant bodies open to women like the Daughters of the Nile, the modern version of the Heroines of Jericho or The OES? Without the printed original ritual, we may never know.
Born in Culpeper County, Virginia in 1790, Brother Joshua Pilcher, like so many others, moved to the Louisiana territory to seek the opportunities afforded in the western frontier. An ardent Freemason, in 1815 he was instrumental in the formation of Missouri Lodge #12 and later became its first Master. A well-connected businessman, he was a good friend of such influential Missouri pioneers as General William Clark and Senator Thomas Hart Benton, and was a cousin of Thomas F. Riddick, who eventually became Missouri's first Grand Master. He also held the rank of Major in the US Army.
In 1820, Pilcher co-founded the Missouri Fur Company, a trading group associated with Freemasons. He played a key role in the founding of the Grand Lodge of Missouri and may have been one of those under consideration as its first Grand Master. In 1838, he succeeded General Clark as the Superintendent of Indian Affairs and had such a strong friendship with Senator Benton that he served as Benton's second in his infamous duel with Charles Lucas.
Brother Pilcher passed away in early June of 1843. The evening before his death, he attended an extravagant banquet with his friend Senator Benton, and his body was discovered the following morning in his bed. The funeral of the founder of the Missouri Fur Company and a true pioneer of the west was an auspicious affair. He was buried in Christ Church Cemetery in St. Louis in a special metal casket imported from Europe.
Nearly a half-century later, November 30, 1892, the good people of St. Louis woke up to read a headline in the St. Louis Dispatch, which screamed, "IT IS WEIRD!"
The article said on the previous day, men working near the old Christ Church Cemetery had discovered a highly ornamented metal casket. The casket contained no nameplate, but it bore the trademark of an English manufacturer. The article went on to say the remains inside the casket were surprisingly well-preserved, but "withered" a short time after being exposed. The discovery caused a minor stir in town and subsequent research on the curious finding led to other newspaper articles and speculation about the identity of the body.
Dispatch reporters eventually determined the body was that of Warren Pilcher, who had died following a banquet attended by Senator Thomas Hart Benton. Reports continued to unfold and chronicle the life of Warren Pilcher.
In the meantime, Warren Pilcher himself, the grand nephew of Brother Joshua Pilcher, watched the story develop with great amusement. He let the case of mistaken identity rage on until one report claimed Warren had at one time been a debtor and died owing back rents. At this, Warren Pilcher appeared at the offices of The Dispatch and revealed that the body was that of his great uncle Joshua, who had founded the Missouri Fur Company.
Great speculation followed concerning the life and death of Brother Pilcher, including reports that some unnamed scoundrel may have murdered him with robbery as a motive. Warren even reported that at his death, Joshua's servants had come forward claiming to know who was involved, but demanded to be given part of his estate before giving details of the dastardly plot. Pilcher's relatives refused to play along with the scheme and the matter died.
Brother Pilcher's body was reburied in Bellefontaine Cemetery where it rests today after its brief, but adventurous return from the dead.
