Question: What will the fourth-year BA paper process be like in 2018-2019?
Answer: Start with this handout.
Question: What is the BA seminar sequence (PBPL 29800-PBPL29801) and how is it different from PBPL 29900 and PBPL 29700?
Answer: The senior seminar sequence (PBPL 29800-29801) is a required, two-quarter course taught in Autumn and Winter quarters that begins the process of writing the public policy BA paper for graduating seniors. Students begin writing the BA paper in Autumn and work Winter and Spring quarters to further develop the paper producing a final draft for Spring quarter.
Public Policy 29900 is an independent study course for graduating seniors that is not required, but may in special cases be taken to earn elective credit for independent work towards completion of their BA paper. Public Policy 29700 is also an independent study course, but one designed for students wishing to earn elective credit for non-BA-related reading and research.
You cannot register for PBPL 29900 or PBPL 29700 on on the web but must see your college advisor to register. You will be given the College Reading and Research Course Form. This form requires the signature of the Public Policy Studies Program Director and your faculty advisor or preceptor. The completed form is submitted to the Registrars Office.
Question: How do I register for the BA Seminar?
Answer: Fourth-years are required to register for 29800 (100 units) and 29801 (0 units). Students choose in which quarter (Autumn or Winter) to take the credit-bearing course (29800) and the non-credit-bearing course (29801), but must take both. The goal of this arrangement is to provide structure for students during the BA thesis process throughout Autumn and Winter Quarter while offering flexibility in scheduling. Students will have the same BA Seminar experience (e.g., submit assignments on the same schedule) regardless of how they allocate the credits. PBPL 29801 (0 units) can be taken with four other classes, but students should know that this would be a demanding course load.
Question: Do I need to go through IRB for my research?
Answer: Start with this handout. Also, consult UChicago's IRB website here.
Question: Do I need a second reader to get honors in Public Policy?
Answer: No. All Public Policy BA papers are eligible for honors. Students may select a second reader/faculty adviser if they choose, but they are not required. If the BA is evaluated as honors worthy and the student has the qualifying GPA for honors (see Honors under Program Requirements), they will graduate with special honors in the Public Policy major.
Question: What is the field research practicum?
Answer: The field research practicum is a two quarter course designed to teach research methods in a hands-on way. Students in the practicum work collectively on a real-world policy problem, with a focus on Chicago. Recent projects have included developing and testing measures of the impact of cultural organizations on local communities for the city of Chicago's Department of Cultural Affairs, examining the impact of welfare reform on former welfare recipients entering the labor market under Welfare-to-Work programs and assessing economic development in the South Shore Neighborhood. Each year, the class project results in a final report prepared for the client, and often a public presentation of the findings, as well. The research practicum is generally taken by students in their second or third year.
Question: What are specialization courses?
Question: How do I get academic credit for my internship?
Answer: You will meet with the public policy program director prior to registering for Public Policy 29600, then complete the College Reading and Research Course Form to officially register for PBPL 29600 and finally prepare an internship paper following the completion of your internship under the guidance of the public policy director.

Q: Ajax post with multiple parameters in Razor In ASP.NET Core + Razor I want to do an ajax post with multiple parameters. The amount of parameter could vary. I have products with Ids and an amount for every ProductId. I want to send this data to the server. The ProductAndAmount tuple is created and stringyfied. The data in the ajax post is available. But the parameter1 in my OnPostReduceProducts() method is null. I also used the AntiForgeryToken.
Why is the parameter1 still null?
BuyProducts.js file
function buyProducts(nItems) {

    document.getElementById("buyButton").innerHTML = "bought products";

    var totalPriceOfAllProductsLabel = document.getElementById('totalPriceLabel');
    totalPriceOfAllProductsLabel.textContent = "0.00";

    // reduce items from stock
    var objectArray = new Array();
    var tuple = Object.freeze({ Id: "1", Amount: "2" });
    objectArray.push(tuple);
    var dataToPost = JSON.stringify({ parameter1: objectArray });

    $.ajax({
        type: 'POST',
        async: false,
        url: "/StockItems/Edit?handler=ReduceProducts",
        data: dataToPost,
        dataType: "json",
        headers: {
            RequestVerificationToken: $('input:hidden[name="__RequestVerificationToken"]').val()
        }
    });
}

Data field in the ajax post
{"parameter1":[{"Id":"1","Amount":"2"}]}

Part of my Edit.cshtml
@section Scripts {
    <script src="~/js/BuyProducts.js"></script>
}

Parts of my Edit.cshtml.cs
public void OnPostReduceProducts(List<ProductAndAmount> parameter1)
{
    System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("OnPostReduceProducts() is running");
    System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(parameter1[0].Id);
    System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(parameter1[0].Amount);
}

public class ProductAndAmount
{
    public string Id { get; set; }
    public string Amount { get; set; }
}

Did I provide all necessary parts of code to answer this question?

A: Change
var dataToPost = JSON.stringify({ parameter1: objectArray });

to
var dataToPost = JSON.stringify(objectArray);

Change ajax(add contenttype):
$.ajax({
        type: 'POST',
        async: false,
        url: "/StockItems/Edit?handler=ReduceProducts",
        data: dataToPost,
        dataType: "json",
        contentType: 'application/json',
        headers: {
            RequestVerificationToken: $('input:hidden[name="__RequestVerificationToken"]').val()
        }
    });

Change action:
public void OnPostReduceProducts([FromBody]List<ProductAndAmount> parameter1)
{
    System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("OnPostReduceProducts() is running");
    System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(parameter1[0].Id);
    System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(parameter1[0].Amount);
}

Update:
If it is still not working, you can delete cache and retry.

Dozens of migrants attacked and kidnapped in Oaxaca
by Scott Campbell
On December 16, a freight train left Arraiga, Chiapas, with 300 migrants from Central America riding on top of it. While passing through Oaxaca the train was stopped twice. First, around 100 people were detained at an immigration checkpoint. Twenty minutes later, those remaining on the train were attacked by a gang of armed men, presumably Zetas or Maras, two groups known for preying on migrants and robbing or kidnapping them. Kidnapped migrants are usually held for ransom or forced to become gunmen or drug mules. The Zetas are likely responsible for the massacre of 72 Central American migrants in the northern Mexican state of Tamaulipas on August 24 of this year.
During the attack, at least 40 migrants were kidnapped and have not been heard from since. Of the 300 people to depart from Chiapas, only 20 made it to Ixtepec, Oaxaca, a common layover stop where a Catholic-run migrant shelter is located. A short video with testimonies from some of those who survived the events is posted on YouTube. I translated it and added the subtitles, so any errors in those departments are mine.
Along with insinuations that immigration was aware of the attack awaiting the migrants, the Mexican government has been extremely crass in its handling of the situation, at first outright denying what occurred and later acting only after concerted pressure from Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras. An entire week passed before Mexico agreed to investigate the "supposed kidnappings." Previously, Mexico's Interior Ministry had informed El Salvador's Deputy Foreign Minister that El Salvador's "stance was unfounded, that [it] had no basis to claim that there was a kidnapping."
While the Mexican government was sitting on its hands regarding the December 16 kidnapping – despite the fact that family members of those kidnapped reported receiving calls demanding ransoms of 10,000 dollars, as well as indications that the victims were being held near the site of the kidnapping – four more Central American migrants were kidnapped on December 21, and a fifth, from El Salvador, was killed during the attack.
According to Honduras' Deputy Foreign Minister, Alden Rivera, 20,000 Central Americans have been kidnapped in Mexico on their way to the United States in the past twelve months. Of those, half were from Honduras. A staggering 30 out of every 100 Honduran migrants in Mexico are kidnapped.
As well, Father Alejandro Solalinde Guerra, the Catholic priest who runs the migrant shelter in Ixtepec, Oaxaca, has come under increasing threats and harassment as a result of his work assisting migrants and denouncing the disgraceful and dangerous treatment which undocumented Central American migrants face in Mexico.
These kidnappings, and the failure of the Mexican government to act – or even worse, the complicity of some government functionaries in these acts – are emblematic of the impunity that reigns in Mexico. However, though not a focus of this summary, it is important to note that when examining the causes of Central American migration, as well as the rise and power of organizations such as the Zetas and the Maras, one's gaze must firmly rest on the political and economic policies of the United States. While it is certainly desirable and should be demanded that the Mexican government protect migrants crossing through its territory, upon making that journey these migrants then must again risk their lives to cross into the U.S., only to face massive discrimination and human and labor rights violations upon arrival. The root causes are the neoliberal policies emanating out of Washington and foisted upon Central America and Mexico alike.

I was at my parents' house in Mississauga early this week, and my mother told me about this SUV which always parks down the street for four to six hours a day, headlights on and the occupants inside. When she takes her afternoon walk, she will usually see a man and a woman inside smoking or eating. They have also been littering on the grass next to the car.
Besides the littering (and possible idling), anything to worry about? About four years ago, what I assume was Peel Regional searched one of the neighbour's houses in full gear with two dogs...but otherwise it's a quiet block where the neighbours still greet each other.
If she wanted to have an officer pull up and check out the situation, who would she call? 222-TIPS, or find the nearest Peel detachment? Would she be involved as a witness if charges ended up being laid?
It sounds like a "PI" (maybe there is insurance fraud, workers comp fraud thing), but if the vehicle is that noticeable, that does not make sense.
Someone could be "casing" the neighbourhood, watching patterns of people to then go do a B&E.
Call Peel and have a unit slide by to check this vehicle and it's purpose for being there.
I considered the PI angle, but I figured a PI wouldn't leave the headlights on all the time (unless running computer equipment?). It's also a Mercedes SUV, a bit flashy for a "surveillance vehicle".
I think their local Peel office moved a few years ago; I'll find out where they went and have her give them a call. Thanks.
Even if the divisions got restructured and yours got closed down, they should still have an outpost in the area. They come off as being more professional than the TPS, so such a call may even warrant a response.
If anything, the vehicle's repeated presence, idling, in the same location every day is unusual and if it were up to me, I'd call the Peel Police. Use this number: 905-453-3311 (non-emergency # for Peel).
They could be leeching off an open AP. There's no need to keep the engine running to run a computer, but people are dumb.
It might be Julian Fantino looking for speeders, or street racers.
Maybe looking for those accidental squeals at a stop sign.
he says the tow truck industry needs a stimulus.
But seriously i would just call Peel and complain about it. It sounds suspicious and if its making your parents uncomfortable they should give Peel a call or just drop by the station and share your concerns, talk to the other neighbors, etc.
Like bear said sounds like they could be planning a B&E you never know.

Custom survived:Bourton on the water Water football
Posted on August 31, 2013 by pixyledpublications
Picture the scene: a chocolate box village, young families bathing in the sunshine on the green, the elderly ambling along with their ice creams….a typical August bank holiday (except yes I did mention sunshine!)…eyes focus on a river flowing peacefully through this village and then peace is shattered as twelve men enter the water and kick a ball around making everyone drenched. This is not some anti-social group of trouble makers this is in Bourton on the Water, well known tourist hotspot and home to the country's oddest match of the beautiful game…the Water Football.
Water a goal!
Details are scant on its history, the team formed in 1894 and this competition is said have been done as long as the club has existed and most authorities state it is over 100 years old, being linked to celebrations for Edward VII's coronation. This year I introduced the contrived catergory for the many curious modern customs, perhaps best described as 'devised by blokes down the pub'. This is probably the grand daddy of such beer fueled brainwaves. No one appears to know why it begun, but it probably did so as a way to raise money for the team. I say team, because, this is neither a national tournament nor a local derby, but played between the A and B teams of Bourton Rovers FC. We had left home a little late on the Bank Holiday, and hadn't intended to visit Bourton on the Water. Leaving late on this day to such a popular place is a possible recipe for disaster. Bourton on the Water is a delightful Cotswold village one of a number of noted charming places on the route. Unfortunately, charming on Bank Holiday means chocker block traffic jams and once we had reached Moreton in the Marsh the road snarled to a halt, so a detour via the villages of Swells was needed to get back to the Stow on the Wold road….then bang…straight into another snarl up and so another detour through the Slaughters, another delightful village which itself was having a fete. Entry into Bourton on the Water was unhindered however and we arrived at two thirty!
Water on the pitch
People swarmed around the village like the bees at such a honey pot, but finding a place by the 'pitch side' was surprisingly easy and so being a nice day, with the river Windrush peacefully flowing, it was not difficult to seat for a few minutes for the game to begin. At four, the teams moved their goals into the water and the crowds, several thousand of them, thronged banks. Those close to the edge wisely wearing water proofs, in most years I am sure this would be standard considering our bank holiday weather!
Football leagues under the water
The team wore no special uniform, not even wellies, but the referee was dressed in a pokadot dress, pink blouse, blonde wig and holding an umbrella…and yes it was a man – a water football tradition. Although this did largely seem a game without rules, after all how could you judge an improper tackle when obscured by a fan of water? The goals were moved into the water and the team prepared splashing each other to get over the cold. The whistle blew and the serious splashing begun. Indeed, for the first half the players took considerable pleasure in making sure that the crowds, especially those in the middle it seemed, that they got very wet more than any actual play. In some cases it became clear that some well known faces..to the team members…were getting more than their fair share of water. At first people kept to the banks, but realising that there was less chance of getting soaked in the water crowds gathered behind the goals or so they thought! I overheard one boy sagely state ' I don't think much of these seats they're very wet'
Took a dive
The half-time whistle blew and wet jerseys were swapped. Sitting were I was I had felt fall brunt of the a ball soaking so I decided at one point to position myself in the river near one of the goals. Good idea for a photo, bad idea for keeping dry. Soon I watched through the view finder, the players getting nearer and a nearer and looking down the ball was at my feet…and within seconds so were the players. I was even more drenched then before and this time a sizeable portion of the River Windrush entered my mouth! Great action pictures with the water smears!
It was difficult to follow what the score was. There's no commentary. You would not be able to hear anyhow, the screams of laughter were too loud. Cheers went out when the goals were scored, and they came thick and fast in the second half when the teams appear to have got their 'water' wings. Then the final whistle was blown and the team threw themselves into the water in exhaustion. I could see why the game is only thirty minutes…ninety minutes in the water would be tiring to say the least. The goals were removed to the banks and the teams went off for an early bath. Bourton on the Water Water football have distilled in a way all the things which typify the English: picturesque village, Football and transvestitism. Long may it play!

Custom revived: Old Woodstock Mock Mayor
The Old Woodstock Mock Mayor is a little known custom which appears to have been ignored by books on calendar customs, but it is a classic example of the reason behind the establishment of this perhaps most English of traditions – taking the mickey!
The rise, fall and rise of a custom
The election of the Mock Mayors in this case was a response to the newer Woodstock over the stream! This is because Old Woodstock was until 1886 in the parish of Wooton when an independent of the borough of "new" Woodstock arose and so the custom developed as mockery of the Borough authorities in the new Woodstock who had by 1776 built themselves a new Town Hall and so they responded with this light hearted repost.
The first formal recognition of the custom appears to be linked with the mace which is inscribed:
"This Mace was made at the Sole Expense of Charles Lewellyn Perkins Esq. Mayor of the ancient village of Old Woodstock – Anno Domini 1786"
The custom continued it appears without break until 1928.
Why the custom died out in 1928 is unclear, but it was probably due to the First World War. However, whereas in most cases this would bring the end of the custom it was revived in 1954. This new Mayor wore a crimson gown made out of a 19th century blanket, a chain of curtain rings and a top hat. The event was associated with the Rose and Crown and unlike today it never crossed into New Woodstock. Evidence suggests that originally the custom was associated with the Wootton Parish Feast Day which was the 19th September, but this revival moved it to August Bank Holiday. The event saw a Beauty Queen and Flower show as well. The revival was short lived and although it saw its first female Mayor, a Miss K. Castle, with the installation of Mr Frederick Warmington in 1958, the custom lapsed and so for 25 years he remained the reigning Mock Mayor!
A local writer recalled in 1973:
"It seems unlikely that those ceremonies will ever be started again in view of the fact that Mayors and Borough Councils will disappear in 1974. Also the changes in population mobility will leave fewer people to remain interested in purely local affairs since many are newcomers to the district."
Despite these joint fears, the later unnecessary for 'foreigners' have embraced the custom and although Woodstock became a Town Council it retained its Mayor.It was revived by the Rose and Crown, it has moved locations and dates a number of times to settle at the Black Prince, since the former's closure. Despite the 25 year break, the custom appeared to grab the zeitgeist and has continued ever since as a charity and community event. The ceremony used to take place in September and consisted of a dinner at the Rose and Crown and a cricket match: the Mayor being usually selected for his drinking capacity, but the closure of the Crown moved it to the
Like other Mock Mayor the regalia which resembles that of the real Mayor but at half the price. However, this regalia appeared to have become a bit more sophisticated: a Mayoral chain chained from curtain rings to mechano metal pieces, a black top hat, a robe of office said to be made from a 19th Century red blanket. The mace did consist of a holly stick entwined with a large cabbage stem capped by a crown but is now a more sophisticated three sided wooden mace. Clearly the mock mayor is more serious matter now! Despite what could easy be described as a local event, this is a tradition with all the regulars: coconut shy, plate breaking, Punch and Judy and Oxfordshire favourite Aunt Sally.
At the allotted time a motley bunch appeared made up of the Mock Mayor, his deputy, a constable, Town Crier, Mace bearer, two flag bearers and an inexplicable Saxon Warrior an odd dressed group if ever there was one. Then the 'town' cryer with his blue frock coat and black tricorn hat asked those intending to stand or those representing those intending to stand to join in the hustings….there was a bit of an embarrassing silence. Then a few people stood up to appeal for election, in 1993 one candidate promised to bring the Olympics to Blenham Park and promised good weather. I'm not sure which was more probable. In 2013, the crowd appeared a little reticent although one candidate, perhaps the crowd knew it was a fix! Of those who stood one candidate suggested they would investigate fracking…at New Woodstock whilst a young boy boldly proclaimed he would make the village more interesting…he didn't win!
After the hustings the committee huddled in the corner to agree what had already been agreed – and selected the new Mock Mayor. Previously the adjourned to a room in the pub and white smoke was sent up. The outgoing Mayor caused the newly appointed to kneel to which he then knighted him and passed on his robes. It was made clear that the new Mock Mayor had already been selected, making a mockery of the whole custom- perhaps due to the ducking aspect and whole 'health and safety' its best they know who it is…a random member might not be so happy with the impromtu swim!
Mock a doodle do!
The newly selected mock mayor and his entourage then called upon the audience to join them in their procession…or perhaps march in protest to the New Woodstock Town Hall. This was an odd route across the road from the pub, in through a gate and into the spacious grounds of Blenheim Palace and up hill…fighting the wind to the top of the hill where the New Woodstock physically and metaphorically reign over them! On the way, the mace bearer stopped at the gates and like Blackrod in parliament tapped the door with a silver cane…slowly the doors opened and the group marched forth to their goal the Georgian Town Hall. At the Town Hall stood a more obvious Trumptoesque Mayor bedecked with the finery of his mayoral red robes and chain, one could understand previous generations being annoyed by the pomp of this new Town! Here the Town Crier called for a dance between the Mayor and Mock Mayor
Mock turtle soup….
The climax of the ceremony is the ducking of the Mock-Mayor. Although this was a bit confusing because although there was a ducking stool set up, the process appeared to consist of simply throwing him in the water. The ducking signifies the Mayor and the Corporation turning their backs on and declaring their independence from the "other" Woodstock by crossing the boundary line. A similar ducking of a Mock Mayor occured in Birmingham in a local holy well and it is possible that this part of the procedure is the oldest part…did it signify a water sacrifice? Despite its rather frivolous nature, Old Woodstock's Mock Mayor is the closest to the true nature of the mock mayor tradition across the country – still metaphorically raising its two fingers at the New Woodstock…Or should I say both two fingers…its W oodstock after all!

Custom demised: Tutbury Bull Run
"It may not be so, gentle sir, For I must be at Tutbury feast; And if Robin Hood will go thither with me, I'll make him the most welcome guest."
So goes a verse of the popular ballad 'A New Ballad of bold Robin Hood, shewing his birth, breeding, valour and marriage at Tutbury Bull Running' where he married not Marian but a Clorinda! Tutbury, a small village with its romantic ruined castle was the scene of the country's only other Bull run. The origins of this custom derive from the need to control a local festival of musicians (or minstrels) that came from all parts of the country to Tutbury. As with such festivals, which surely involved a fair amount of alcohol, disputes would occur and so to sort this out, the Duke of Lancaster, John of Gaunt established a means to settle arguments between the minstrels; this became the Tutbury Court of King's Minstrels. It is said that when in 1374, Gaunt married his Spanish Princess, Constance, daughter of Pedro the Cruel of Castille, she suggested establishing a bull running, although what this had to do with minstrels is unclear. Gaunt established a King of the Minstrels whose job would be to apprehend and arrest any law breaking musical miscreants. As in all these cases, a Charter enshrined the custom called Carta le Roy de Minstralx. Plot (1696) in his work on Staffordshire translates it as:
"John by the grace of God King of Castile and Leon, Duke of Lancaster, to all of them who shall see or hear these our Letters greetings. Know ye we have ordained, constituted and assigned to our well-beloved King of the Minstrells in the Honor of Tutbury, who is, or for the time shall be, to apprehend and arrest all the Minstrells in our said Honor and Franchise, that refuse to doe the services and Minstrelsy as appertain to them to doe from ancient times to Tutbury aforesaid, yearly on the days of the Assumption of Our Lady; giving and granting to the said King of the Minstrells for the time being, full power and commandement to make them reasonably to justify, and to constrain them to doe their services, and Minstrelsies, in the manner belongeth to them and as it hath been there, and of ancient times accustomed."
This developed into a special Court which meet the day following the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, the 15th August. All the minstrels in the Honor which were the counties of Staffordshire, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire and Warwickshire were obliged to meet at the house of the bailiff of the honor were they met the Steward of the court. All minstrels who failed to attend would have to pay a fine. A procession was formed and headed by the musicians walked in two rows to the parish church with the previous years King of the Minstrels marching behind the musicians with the bailiff and four stewards carrying a white rod each. After the church service, which cost a penny, the group went to the Castle Hall, here the court was called and two juries of twelve Staffordshire men and twelve men from adjoining counties, after the steward reminded the attendees of the importance of the court:
"the jurors proceed to the Election of the said Officers, the King to be chosen out of the 4 stewards of the proceeding year and one year out of Staffordshire, and the other out of Darbyshire interchangeably; and the 4 stewards, two of them out of Staffordshire, and two out of Darbyshire; 3 being chosen by the Jurors, and the 4th by him that keeps the court, and the deputy Steward or Clerk"
The two juries leave this Court to make the decision, with the rest having a banquet. Upon their return, the new officers were appointed and the Old King passes on the white wand and drink toasts. After which, the minstrels would gather for the bull running. Before the Reformation the Minstrels received, after coming to Matins on that feast day, from the Prior of Tutbury:
"a Bull given…if they can take him on this side of the River Dove which is next to Tutbury; or else the Prior shall give them xld for the enjoyment of which custom they shall give to the Lord at the same feast day xxdg."
This bull was then used for the running, after the Reformation, this bull was provided by the Duke of Devonshire. However, this was at a price, for if the bull ran into Derbyshire, a likely case considering Tutbury's geographical location, the Duke retained it. The custom involved the minstrels gathering at the barn. The poor bull had: "… his horns are cut off, his ears cropt, his taile cut by the stumple; all his body smeared over with soap, and his nose blown full of beaten pepper." This was apparently to make it as mad as possible! A solemn proclamation was made by the steward and the bull released:
"The bull being let loose, the steward proclaimed that none were to come nearer than forty feet, nor to hinder the minstrels, but all were to attend to their own safety. The minstrels were to capture the bull before sunset, and on that side of the river, "
To avoid the Duke regaining the bull it was allowed that a tuft of fur could be produced as evidence to the Market place. If the bull was collared and taken to the bull ring in the market it was baited with dogs first 'alloted for the King, second for the honor of the town and last for the King of the Minstrels' After which the minstrels could do what they wanted with the beast. Hundred years after Plots account the bull running had fallen into disrepute and had: "ultimately degenerated into a scene of wild debauchery, often resulting in a terrible riot." Certainly by the late 1700s the writing was on the wall. A petition from the Court of Minstrels to the ducal owner of the manor in 1772 read:
"The Honourable and Antient court of the Minstrels, assembled at Tutbury 17 August 1772, to the Duke of Devonshire May it please Your grace. We the Jury of this court must humbly petition Your grace that the Writings concerned this court may be laid ope n before the King and Stewards of this Court, that we may understand our right. We apprehend we have a right to a piece of land called the Piper's meadow, formerly ui n the hands of Pratt of Tutbury. now Thomas Tatler of Etwel, who lets kit to Samuel Salt of Rolston. This rent has been publically demanded at the castle but without any redress……Most gracious Duke, we cannot maintain the rights of straining for these misdemeanours of the Minstrels of Staffordshire, Derbyshire., Leicestershire and Warwickshire without the protection of your Grace…..It hath therefore been concluded and believed that Derbyshire stands to the conclusion that without the rent of the said Piper's meadow to be paid to the King of the Minstrels, the said Jurors do not appear….and in consequence must be in a short time be a want of a Bull Running"
Thus it was clear that without the Duke provided the remedy the custom would decay and indeed it did. For unlike, Stamford's Bull Run, the abolishing of the custom in 1778 was due more to the rowdy nature of the crowds in this sleepy town than any care for the animal's welfare. It was finally abolished although the minstrels did meet a few years after this the custom had lost its star attraction and died off. Now Tutbury is quiet on the days around the feast of the Assumption bar some curious tourist visiting its wonderful castle….having thought about a Court which keeps musicians in order…perhaps now this is even more needed to keep our wanton pop stars in order!!
STOP PRESS: Drama re-enactment of the Stamford Bull Run Looks like someone read my notice about acting out the run and this year at the town's inaugural Georgian festival there is a drama re-enactment of this most famed Bull Run. The date is 28th September 2013 at three. Details from their website..

In historical documents, it is not uncommon to see photos or other references to someone or something given with an approximate date such as circa 1900. (Words most often found near circa are B.C., A.D., photo, and a variety of round dates.) It may also be used occasionally in approximate recollection: "Circa 1975, I read a lot of Shazam! comic books." But many people circle around this word uncertainly, not sure how it should be used. You may see signs on restaurants or stores declaring them to be "circa 1985" or "circa 1997." What's that about?
Well, it seems they think that circa, in photos of buildings from a certain time, for instance, means not "about" or "around" but rather "established" or "founded." So we have a bit of a semantic circus, as it were. But if circa – and circus, for that matter – makes you think of circle, then you're at the origin: a Latin root referring to circles and roundness. Circa is taken directly from the Latin for "around" or "about." And the two round c's can only reinforce that effect.
Those two c's were both pronounced [k] in the original Latin, though in English they have the tongue do a half-circuit in the mouth, from tip through middle (the /r/) to back. Another word that closely resembles circa has a similar pronunciational history, but with the added detail that it came from Greek but was passed through Latin to give us the c rather than k spelling: Circe.
What's Circe? Rather, who is Circe: a sorceress whose place Odysseus (or Ulysses, in the Roman version) hung around for a while. Her name is from the Greek kirké, "falcon" (but is now said like "Sir See"). When Odysseus's men arrived, they found what seemed like a circus menagerie of docile animals. In fact, they were previous visitors, drugged and transmogrified. Many of Odysseus's men were soon thus transmogrified, too, but Odysseus was warned, and when he went to free his men, he was met by Hermes (in his pre-fashion-designer days!), who gave him a herb which would protect him from the spells of Circe so he could bargain with her effectively (which he did; the movie version of that part would be rated R or X). What was the herb? It was the holy herb moly (Greek molu). So by eating holy moly, he was protected from being transformed.
Which reminds me of Shazam! Its protagonist had only to invoke the name of the wizard Shazam to be transformed into Captain Marvel (good newsstand competition for Superman). It happens that characters in the Shazam! comic books liked to exclaim "Holy moly!" I read these comic books circa 1975, as I have said, but I did not learn until circa 15 minutes ago what holy moly originally referred to, before it became an expletive. And so I am come full circa, as it were.

Zee targets mass market by offering over 100 live TV channels on dittoTV
In its new avatar, dittoTV will target the mass market by offering over 100 live TV channels on mobile and handheld devices for a monthly subscription of Rs 20ET Bureau | Updated: June 22, 2016, 09:24 IST
Zee Entertainment Enterprises on Tuesday announced the repositioning of its web-based broadcasting service dittoTV as a mass product, taking on broadcasters and multiple aggregators who have their own video-on-demand (VOD) service
The company has recently entered the video over-the-top (OTT) market as well with the launch of OZEE. The repositioning of dittoTV would enable Zee to play both segments of the intensely competitive market.
In its new avatar, dittoTV will target the mass market by offering over 100 live TV channels on mobile and handheld devices for a monthly subscription of Rs 20.
Punit Goenka, MD, Zee, said: "The digital entertainment space in India is at the cusp of a strong phase of growth. With the new avatar of dittoTV, we aim to change the media landscape to suit the evolving media consumption preferences of consumers."
Unlike OZEE, dittoTV will offer content from Zee's competitors too, and will remain a broadcaster-agnostic platform offering live TV and a catchup service of up to a week.

Discussion in 'General discussions' started by SmokingFlax, Apr 10, 2007.
It's been quite awhile since I've last posted and much has transpired with me since then. I hope all is well with everyone.
I know I've been a stranger lately (having moved back to NY state since I last posted) and I don't like to impose on others but I've just been getting eaten up with this HUGE issue that I stumbled across recently.
At present I am convinced that THE Antichrist will come from this soil/teaching...and that it has always been so (from the inception of the NT Church).
I don't endorse everything that this woman has on her site (or her views) but I can't deny the validity of the Talmudic information that is contained there.
I now understand why Christ so vehemently renounced the Pharisees and called them "vipers", "serpents" & "the synagogue of Satan," etc.
I also understand (now) Luther's vitriol on the same subject.
Be aware that you will probably be a changed person after having been made aware of the contents of these writings (Talmud). They are truly mind boggling.
Can anyone here direct me to some Christian commentary regarding the Talmud?
I believe that John Lightfoot (1602-1675) (Erastian) wrote a commentary on the NT from a Talmudic perspective. Anything else out there (besides Luther)?
Please help...I've just had my mind blown open and I need to step back and get a clear perspective. I am just Dumbfounded here.
What in particular upset you? These people are not Christians and are blinded in part...so what's new?
It's one thing to deny Christ...it is another thing to actively work towards destroying all that pertains to His Kingdom.
The fact that , according to public knowledge, (we) are supposed to believe that the Jews follow the OT for one thing.
...all condoned by the perverted twistings contained therein.
Not to mention the many vile blasphemies recorded against Christ (as well as slanders against Mary).
Knowing that the Talmud prescribes that all idolators (above all Christians) require beheading according to their ruling.
Am I supposed to believe that all of these rabbis that are going about lately (like Daniel Lapin) aren't aware of the dozens of texts (in their "holy book") that require them to work towards the destruction of Christianity while they flatter the "religious right" with words of common cause and fellowship?
And for a final kicker: Most churches are teaching that "the Jews" are the chosen race and that supporting Israel is practically our first duty as Christians.
I should have stated that it is no easy overnight conclusion to see this for what it is :I have been aware of some of this since at least 2001...it's only been recently that I decided to look into some of the things I'd heard previously (which I thought were just the ravings of far right kooks).
There is much that could be said regarding the implications of this...but I have to go.
A casual google of Carol A. Valentine reveals, to me at least, that her views are questionable at best. She's not an unbiased source. A lot of what she criticizes is actually in the OT. We know that the Jews in the period before the Exile did indeed sacrifice their children to the gods of Caanan(sic), one of the reasons for the Exile. I found her mention of pedophilia, but can't find the actual tractate she references. I'm highly skeptical of this. I've met many actua Jews, who are woefully ignorant of their Scriptures, but who don't believe in child sacrifice or restricting the freedom of Christians. I've actually had chances to share the Gospel with them. Please be careful, sir.
1. anyone who is a direct ancestor of Jacob is chosen?
2. anyone who has or does live in Judea is chosen?
3. anyone who practices 'Judaism' is chosen?
If they are teaching number 1 then they might have some scripture to back that up, but the problem is that many assume number 3 for which there would be absolutely no scriptural evidence.
That is why I hate the term 'Judeo-Christian'. There is no such thing unless you are talking about Christians who happen, by chance, to be related to Jacob, or who happen, by chance, to live in Judea. But Christianity and Judaism are at enmity with each other.
Do any of you guys ever watch John Hagee?
If he hadn't delved so deep into health-and-wealth, I probably would never have stepped back from his hyper-Dispensational teachings (I used to watch him on sundays while dressing for church).
He basically teaches now that a Jew can be saved by keeping the Torah.
it's called dual covenant theology. This man is a heretic 1rst class.
How about this goodie from Hagee?
On another note, didn't Hagee teach some diet technique or write a book on dieting? My neighbor is a huge Hagee fan. I remember telling her that, if I was to take diet advice from a preacher, John Hagee would be my last choice. "John Hagee" and "Health" don't belong in the same sentence.
Hagge is one of the madmen who the Israeli government shrewdly use to lobby the "evangelical" support and tie America down in unconditional alliance with the pagan state of Israel.
I was enraged when channel surfing to discover Hagee's banquet/telethon called "A Night to Honor Isreal" from the rafters of his congregation the Stars and Stripes and Star of David hung side by side as national anthems were sung as though they were hymns. Unadulterated idolatry.
All the same I do not consider Israel an ally of the United States but a blood sucking parasite, an ungrateful bully that uses our money and military to recklessly domineer, in the name of their own preservation they have murdered many an American service men yet OUR politicians sweep it away because of the two most asinine lobbies in this country are the "Jews" and "Dispensational Evangelicals".
I'm sorry to say that I don't see you lasting too long in Hollywood.
Well, I work with many Jews, but really they're agnostics. On a set it is business and we all conduct ourselves in a similar manner, people know I'm Southern and conservative, not Republican, but conservative.
They lament that fact because most of them like me .
If there are any Israeli Christians on this board I am not angry with you but with the ignorance in my own land and the manipulation in yours.
I'm going to close this thread. I don't think any lines were crossed, neither by the person starting the thread, nor by any of the parties who chimed in. But I want to keep it from going anywhere bad.
Here's my main concern: I do not know whether any of the links posted are connected to antisemitism or antizionism, I won't assume that either way. But I know this--way too much of that stuff IS connected to extreme forms of identity politics.
The bottom line is that there is plenty of Christ-hating in the world, always has been and always will be. Satan has been going after the Seed of Promise with a vengeance since the protoeuangelion given in the Garden.
Most false-religionists know about as much of their scripture as nominal Christians know about theirs. And ignorance among those who profess the wrong religion, or the true religion falsely, leads very simply to mob behavior--parking your brain at the scene, and blindly going along with the crowd. The real devils are the clever manipulators who shepherd things along until they lose control.
Only one Person never loses control of the situation. That Person is King Jesus. The kings and mighty men of the earth, who even now take counsel against the Lord and his Messiah--he who sits in the heavens still laughs at them, and mocks them in derision. He still preaches to them the gospel: "Kiss the Son, lest he be angry and you perish in your way; for his wrath will soon be kindled."
Even now there are many different kinds of anti-Christs. Jesus has many, many foes, and every one of them has a date with either conversion or destruction. "Fear not, O little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom" (Lk. 12:32).


At Mind Body Design, LLC we focus on personal training that holds you accountable, so that you can reach your fitness goals. We are passionate about people and believe exercise is a lifelong mission. We think exercise is best maintained if our clients enjoy it, so we are always looking for ways to make it fun. We love one on one personal training sessions, but we also offer other options.
We like our clients to train in the place that is the most comfortable for them and many people prefer their homes. In-home training eliminates the barriers of travel, membership costs, and for some, the uncomfortable feeling that comes with a gym. Whether it's the grunters, the insane number of mirrors, or your concerns about not being fit enough to go to the gym, we're happy to meet you where you are. We'd love to train you in the environment where you are the most at ease. No need to have a room full of fancy fitness equipment, we'll travel with enough gear to ensure you get a great workout! All you have to do is be clothed, awake, and ready to move.
Sometimes training is more fun with a buddy or two or three or four. We offer partner training and small group training that can either take place in a home, a park, or at our shared training space at Elan Yoga and Fitness. Buddy and small group training is a great way to get regular training at a more affordable price. Check out our pricing page.
Because we like to have fun, we often put together creative training options and do special events. We've done Yoga and Fitness Bootcamp, Flow Collins (a class inspired by a Phil Collins Pandora Station), Circuit Du Soleil (a circuit training group class), Restorative Movement (mainly stretching), and we've even custom designed some Hollywood fitness events to go with the movies or play along with the jokes about celebrity clients. We're open to your creative ideas as well, so if you can think it, we'll try to teach it. One class we love to teach is Sweatbands and Sixpacks.
We are also proud to be teaching group exercise in local fitness clubs. We currently teach six classes a week at Old Town Athletic Club in downtown Fort Collins, Colorado. Contact them directly for pricing on punch passes and membership.
