Missionary Triumph over Slavery: William Kibb, and Jamaican Emancipation
Article by Michael Haykin September 2006
William Knibb (1803-1845) is rightly remembered as one of the great heroes of Baptist history for the key role that he played in the emancipation of the slaves in the British Empire in the 1820s and 1830s. In fact, so powerful was his championship of this cause that some called him "King Knibb"! Unlike many of the earlier abolitionists who fought for the end of the slave trade, Knibb had first-hand knowledge of slavery, having been a missionary pastor in Jamaica. But like many other remarkable figures of our Baptist heritage, there is little currently in print about his story. This slim book by Peter Masters--which draws principally on the classic biography of Knibb by John Howard Hinton (1791-1873)--is therefore very welcome.
In a very brief compass--45 pages in total, of which 19 are occupied by lovely illustrations--Masters relates Knibb's story.[i] His ministry in Jamaica was strewn with challenges, especially the fierce resistance put up by the slave-owners on the island to his preaching and that of his two key co-workers, the Baptist ministers Thomas Burchell (1799-1846) and James Phillippo (1798-1879).[ii] Knibb and his friends experienced imprisonment and severe indignities, and saw eleven of the island's Baptist churches torched and destroyed.[iii] Knibb returned to England in 1832 to make known the plight of the slaves and defend himself and his friends against charges leveled against them by slave-owners on the island. He was determined not to "rest, day or night" till he had seen slavery "destroyed, root and branch."[iv]
What is amazing about God's use of Knibb in this great endeavour is that the Baptist leader initially doubted his calling to preach. On one occasion, writing to his brother Thomas Knibb, who preceded him to Jamaica as a missionary but died but fifteen months after his arrival, William wrote:
I do not feel I could be ordained... Preaching does not seem my element... Search me, O my God! ...O may I never be a cumberer of the ground.[v]
Yet within a few months of writing this, Knibb was on his way to Jamaica where he became an effective preacher. And during his time in England from 1832 to 1834, Knibb's impassioned oratory made an enormous contribution to the ending of slavery. As Masters notes, "Knibb's public addresses had a power altogether overwhelming."[vi] On one occasion, when cautioned about the political waves he was making--not all English Baptists were convinced that slavery was as heinous as Knibb knew--Knibb declared, "Whatever the consequences, I will speak... At the risk of my connexion with the [Baptist Missionary] Society, and of all that I hold dear, I will avow this."[vii]
Masters rightly emphasizes that Knibb was driven by his love for the slaves in Jamaica and his desire for not only their temporal betterment, but also their eternal welfare. Masters writes:
William Knibb, above all, was an evangelist. A true lover of lost souls, he was a child of that wonderful and long season of church history, when Calvinists were activists and soul-winners, and when young men proved themselves for the Gospel ministry by street preaching and ragged-school evangelism. Knibb learned his missionary zeal in that golden age, believing that a missionary should never stand still. To such labourers the Lord came down in sovereign mercy and touched their lips to preach an irresistible call of mercy.[viii]
Proof of Knibb's evangelistic passion was his translation of the Scriptures into Jamaican Creole.[ix] In fact, Knibb dreamed of freed Jamaicans taking the gospel back to Africa. As he prayed in a letter of 1839, "O my Heavenly Father...save poor, benighted...Africa." He went on: "My affection for Africa may seem extravagant. I cannot help it. I dream of it every night, nor can I think of anything else."[x]
Knibb died on November 15, 1845, after contracting yellow fever. As Masters notes, his life well illustrates the folly of the modern argument that "Christian missionaries of the past were tools of colonial oppression."[xi] It also gives the lie to the unexamined belief that Calvinism is incompatible with missionary passion. O for more William Knibbs!

Review by Michael Haykin
[i] Knibb was born in Kettering, while Andrew Fuller (1754-1815) was pastor of the Baptist church there, and was later baptized in 1822 by Fuller's close friend John Ryland (1753-1825) at Broadmead Baptist Church, Bristol. See Masters, Missionary Triumph over Slavery, 9, on the links of Knibb with Ryland.

From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Dead Hand comes the riveting story of the CIA´s most valuable spy in the Soviet Union and an evocative portrait of the agency´s Moscow station, an outpost of daring espionage in the last years of the Cold War. While getting into his car on the evening of February 16, 1978, the chief of the CIA´s Moscow station was handed an envelope by an unknown Russian. Its contents stunned the Americans: details of top-secret Soviet research and development in military technology that was totally unknown to the United States. From 1979 to 1985, Adolf Tolkachev, an engineer at a military research center, cracked open the secret Soviet military research establishment, using his access to hand over tens of thousands of pages of material about the latest advances in aviation technology, alerting the Americans to possible developments years in the future. He was one of the most productive and valuable spies ever to work for the United States in the four decades of global confrontation with the Soviet Union. Tolkachev took enormous personal risks, but so did his CIA handlers. Moscow station was a dangerous posting to the KGB´s backyard. The CIA had long struggled to recruit and run agents in Moscow, and Tolkachev became a singular breakthrough. With hidden cameras and secret codes, and in face-to-face meetings with CIA case officers in parks and on street corners, Tolkachev and the CIA worked to elude the feared KGB. Drawing on previously secret documents obtained from the CIA, as well as interviews with participants, Hoffman reveals how the depredations of the Soviet state motivated one man to master the craft of spying against his own nation until he was betrayed to the KGB by a disgruntled former CIA trainee. No one has ever told this story before in such detail, and Hoffman´s deep knowledge of spycraft, the Cold War, and military technology makes him uniquely qualified to bring listeners this real-life 1.

Powerful techniques to eliminate anxiety from your life today The new updated version We all have those moments when we feel like the world is just about to fall on us. At that time, butterflies cannot even seem to describe the feeling of helplessness, tension, and anxiety that goes on in our mind. We feel that we would be delighted if we could just disappear and emerge when certain situations (like an interview, an exam, a medical test, a speech, an important business meeting etc.) in our life have passed. But the good thing is that we don´t run away; we stick there until the end, only to realize that whatever we feared wasn´t as bad as we had convinced ourselves previously. While this is completely normal, there are times when this can be so common that it affects your everyday life. Obviously, when this happens, you have crossed the line between normal and abnormal. Abnormal in this case might mean that you avoid certain situations or experiences because of the fear, worry, and insecurity, pass on opportunities because of fear, fail to meet new people because of fear, and avoid many other things simply because the fear within you is just unbearable and cannot let you do whatever it is you wanted. Becoming anxious for something new or exciting is absolutely normal, but feeling anxious the whole day is worrying. Do you feel shy or insecure when socializing with others? Do you feel incapable of accomplishing your tasks? Do you often feel insecure about yourself and cannot face people confidently? If so, then you probably have an anxiety disorder. Obviously, if you are anxious much of the time, you are probably likely to achieve very little in life, whether it is in the social, business, or professional front. 1. Language: English.

In his own inimitable style, Terry Jones leads you through Chaucer´s filthy and very funny tale of adultery, the feared coming of the second flood and burnt bums. The Canterbury Tales broke the literary mould in many ways. It established English as an acceptable language for literature, where previously it had been almost exclusively Latin or Norman French. It was also one of the first books to create a link between all the pieces of work in a literary collection. Before that an author had merely put together a group of pieces that he considered interesting, in no particular order and with no connecting narrative. Chaucer chose a meeting between pilgrims at the Tabard Inn on the road to Canterbury to provide the linking narrative for his Canterbury Tales. A group of pilgrims swap their tales, with a thoroughly human competitiveness and retaliatory jousting. The choice of pilgrims for his characters allowed Chaucer to put together types that wouldn´t usually associate let alone talk. This recording of The Miller´s Tale is a translation from the Middle English into modern language by the leading Chaucerian scholar, Terry Jones - yes, the Python one - who adds to his truly scholarly rendition of the text a smattering of highly useful and fascinating notes, recorded as he read. He also, of course, adds a particular dimension all his own to a tale of wicked bawdiness and bare asses. 1. Language: English. Narrator: Terry Jones.

The 2015 Paris and San Bernardino terrorist attacks heralded the beginning of a new wave of terrorism - one rooted in the ongoing conflict in Syria and Iraq that shows the possibility of foreign attackers working with citizens of the country. As ISIS seeks to expand its reach in the Middle East, its territory serves as a training and operations base for a new generation of jihadis. Young people from the West, primarily from Europe, have traveled to join the terror organization, re-emerging as hardened fighters with military training and a network of international contacts. Many have returned to their homelands, where it is feared they are planning a new series of brutal attacks. When the War on Terror began, Western political leaders assured their citizens that they would be engaging terrorists ´´over there´´ in Iraq and Afghanistan and not at home. In this guide to the latest developments in the War on Terror based on extensive interviews and previously unseen material, Peter R. Neumann explains the phenomenon of the ´´new jihadis´´ and why the threat of terrorism and ISIS in the West is greater than ever before. 1. Language: English. Narrator: Malcolm Hillgartner.

Nicholas Thompson is not bragging when he says that his new book about the two master builders of America's cold war strategy, Paul Nitze and George Kennan, could have been written only by him.
After all, Mr. Thompson is Nitze's grandson, and he had access to all of his grandfather's personal papers and letters, as well as to his family, his closest friends, even to his opponents, the old Soviet warriors who sat opposite him at the negotiating table.
Thin and tall, with a sweep of dark hair falling across his forehead, Mr. Thompson, 34, was lunching on the Upper East Side, just a few blocks from the Council on Foreign Relations, where both Nitze (the hawk of the title) and Kennan (the seeming dove) often went during the more than 50 years that they advised presidents, congressmen and cabinet members on issues of war and peace — usually from opposing sides.
Mr. Thompson, an editor at Wired magazine, said he was often taken aback by what he found. The book is brimming with fascinating revelations about the men and the harrowing events they steered through. Among them: Kennan's request for a cyanide capsule while serving as Soviet ambassador (Nitze, in a note, attributes it to Kennan's fear that a romantic affair would be publicized); Kennan's contact with an Associated Press reporter who was helping Stalin's grandson defect to the United States in 1975; Nitze's decision to destroy evidence that Soviet pilots were flying aircraft for the North Koreans in 1950 to avoid a potential nuclear showdown; a discussion between Nitze and Robert S. McNamara, the former secretary of defense, about provoking a Soviet attack during the Cuban missile crisis.
Mr. Thompson, whose mother, Nina, was one of Nitze's four children, grew up in the middle of some of this history. In the basement of their house were the black (Soviet) and white (American) missile models that his grandfather always used to illustrate the difference between the superpowers' forces. At 5, Nicholas learned from his father, Scott Thompson, what the balance of power meant. For a term paper in the sixth grade, he remembers writing about intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) and sea-launched cruise missiles (SLCMs), the items his grandfather had recently argued about with the Russians in Geneva.
"We were brought up to believe that the Soviets were bad and dangerous, and missiles were important," he said.

or Saint Eusebius of Vercelli, Bishop
or Saint Peter Julian Eymard
Come, let us adore the Lord, for he is our God.
St Eusebius of Vercelli (283 - 371)
He was born in Sardinia and brought up in Rome, and later (in around 340) was made the first bishop of Vercelli in Piedmont. He lived in a community with his diocesan priests, the first bishop ever to do so.
He was a strong supporter of orthodoxy, and in 355 was sent into exile by the Emperor for refusing to sign the condemnation of St Athanasius that had been passed by the Council of Milan. He was in exile for six years, harshly treated by those who had charge of him. On his release he worked hard for unity, but in vain.
He co-operated with St Hilary in fighting Arianism, and eventually died peacefully in Vercelli, where a manuscript of the Gospels in his handwriting is preserved.
St Peter Julian Eymard (1811 - 1868)
He was born in the town of La Mure, France in the year 1811. Ordained a priest and engaged in pastoral work for some time, he later entered the Society of Mary. A fervent disciple of the Eucharistic Mystery, he established two congregations, one for men, the other for women, dedicated to the worship of the Eucharist. He was also the initiator of many other apostolates, aptly chosen to arouse love for the Holy Eucharist among the faithful. He died on August 1, 1868 in the town in which he was born.
Second Reading: St Cyril of Jerusalem (315 - 386)
Cyril was born in 315 of Christian parents and succeeded Maximus as bishop of Jerusalem in 348. He was active in the Arian controversy and was exiled more than once as a result. His pastoral zeal is especially shown in his Catecheses, in which he expounded orthodox doctrine, holy Scripture and the traditions of the faith. They are still read today, and several of the Second Readings of the Office of Readings are taken from them. He died in 386. He is held in high esteem by both the Catholics and the Orthodox, and he was declared a Doctor of the Church by the Pope in 1883.
Amos 4:13 ©
He it was who formed the mountains, created the wind, reveals his mind to man, makes both dawn and dark, and walks on the top of the heights of the world; the Lord, the God of Hosts, is his name.
Amos 5:8 ©
He made the Pleiades and Orion, who turns the dusk to dawn and day to darkest night. He summons the waters of the sea and pours them over the land. 'The Lord' is his name.
He has built his high dwelling place in the heavens and supported his vault on the earth; he summons the waters of the sea and pours them over the land. 'The Lord' is his name.

Business of the Week – Teens Now Talk
March 9, 2016 The Business CommunityBy Black Business Initiative
Local entrepreneur utilizes all her tools to engage, inspire and empower literally thousands of today's youth – ONE CLASSROOM, ONE SEMINAR, AND NOW ONE MAGAZINE AT A TIME.
JESSICA BOWDEN M.S.M. – Entrepreneur Gold
Jessica Bowden M.S.M., CEO and publisher of Teens Now Talk TNT Magazine Publishing Inc. from Halifax, Nova Scotia, and recent Meritorious Service Medal recipient, presented by His Excellency the Right Honourable David Johnston, Governor General of Canada, has been teaching and creating innovative opportunities where none existed to empower, enhance, and enrich the well-being and personal power and development of youth, their parents, and communities since 1984.
The Power of a Pen
In 2004, keynote speaker Jessica Bowden stood in front of 900 students on career day at Cole Harbour District High and delivered her powerful session. What happened that morning changed Jessica's life as well as the lives of youth across the world.
"People sometimes don't ask the right questions to the right people to get the right answers," says Jessica. "Also, sometimes the right answer is not what you want to hear."
From this session came three key things: youth wanted to be seen, they wanted to be heard, and they wanted it in a book—and that book should be called TNT because their words are DaBomb! With being a publisher not even on Jessica's career list, she asked the students, "IF we do this, it should be a magazine not a book, and it should be called Teens Now Talk instead of TNT, and your tagline should read: Be Seen, Be Heard and Be the Voice for change." Over two hundred youth stood up to help and some are still with the magazine today!
Having just taken on a project that was the first of its kind, and not being a publisher by trade, Jessica invested all her spare time doing research, collecting literally thousands of surveys from parents, educators, business owners and youth. "I wanted someone to tell me 'NO don't do this', but instead the outcome was outstanding," she says.
In 2007, Jessica Bowden M.S.M. (aka Ms. B to the teens) started Teens Now Talk Magazine to give youth a platform for their voices, creative talent and real Braggin' Rights. Four times a year, this 64-page high-gloss publication reaches 40,000 youth and their parents, and is used in classrooms by educators across Nova Scotia. Its website (www.teensnowtalk.com) receives an additional 1.5 million hits a year. The magazine is carried on newsstands throughout Atlantic Canada, such as Chapters, Coles, and Atlantic News, and is distributed to over 67 schools, regional recreation and youth centres, public health centres, and regional libraries, with additional distribution by subscribers spanning across Canada, USA, and Kenya!
Why a magazine when everything is online?
"There is one thing WE ALL have in common, regardless of our age, nationality, sexuality, religion, and economic background, yet, no one talks about it, and believe me, you won't see it posted on a billboard," says Jessica. "We all have a little person inside with the desire to belong, achieve, and have Braggin' Rights! Our youth need to know they can dream, achieve, apply action and receive!"
Youth see the world through a different set of values and lenses, says Jessica. There is a huge urge to belong, Be Seen, Be Heard, Be the Voice and receive some Braggin Rights, but, for some, the roadmap to achieve that has been lost in translation or skipped a generation. Today's youth are born in an era of fast-paced technology, the need for instant gratification, high safety risk, texting instead of face-to-face interaction, emotions replaced with emoji buttons, and, a high number of youth equate their self worth based on the number of friends or followers on their social media channels.
Teens Now Talk Magazine provides a platform for healthy expression, recognizes youth talent, and validates youth creativity. "There is something magical when a teen hears from a parent or teacher how great their poem or article is, or gets a pat on the back followed by 'Great job,' or gets recognized by a stranger for their achievement in the magazine and are told to keep up the great work! Experiences like this," says Jessica, "are NOT found online, nor can they be achieved there."
Over 300 youth are seen in each issue with local teen(s) on the cover, teens writing columns, and teens being the photographers, videographers, junior editors, journalists, event planners, and more. Teens Now Talk is the first Atlantic Canadian magazine to be written by teens, for teens, and has won numerous awards. "The magazine is a unique balance of TNT fun, from quizzes and Q&A to TNT articles with solutions by teens on topics affecting today's youth… for example Treats N Treadmill (Health, Wellness, Food N Exercise), Trends N Threads (Fashion), Think Green N Think Global (Environment, Politics N Travel). Plus, there is the fun in seeing who you might know in each issue," says Jessica.
"There is no better feeing than witnessing a youth stand taller after their work has been published or having a parent say how proud they are," she continues, "or hearing a partner of the magazine tell us how they are reaching more youth and sharing their information through us. We truly connec t the key companies and organizations whose products and services will enhance and assist a youth on their personal, social, educational, health, and career development towards success."
Connecting Thousands with Partners
In addition to the magazine, Teens Now Talk holds their annual Passport 2 You-th Success XPO, which places over 3,000 junior-to-high school students from across HRM and Nova Scotia schools face-to-face with 60+ exhibitors. The 6th annual Passport 2 You-th Success XPO will be Nov 15-16, 2016, Halifax Forum. http://www.teensnowtalk.com/xpo/
"The XPO was fantastic, interactive with many diverse youth. This is one of the most exciting initiatives for teens this city has to offer. It was great to meet and reach so many youth in such a short span of time." – Halifax Public Library
Ms. Bowden has received countless accolades and prestigious awards along with the Meritorious Service Medal. Others include The Justice Minister's Award Leadership in Crime Prevention – Business Leader; the Progress Women of Excellence Award for innovator and entrepreneur; induction to the Dr. W.P. Oliver Wall of Honour Black Cultural Centre; HRM Volunteer award, and Hali-Award.
Along with being the successful publisher of this powerful magazine, Ms. Bowden is a sought-after top recognized entrepreneur, professional model, personal development facilitator, international Turning Passion into A Profession keynote and inspirational speaker, and wardrobe consultant. Jessica utilizes all her tools to inspire literally thousands of youth to Be Seen, Be Heard and Be the Voice of their dreams and future, ONE CLASSROOM, ONE SEMINAR, AND NOW ONE MAGAZINE AT A TIME.

The only way to truly protect Queensland's precious groundwater for our environment and farming communities is to stop the Adani coal mine from going ahead.
"Australians are right to be deeply sceptical about the process that led to this decision.
"Coal-loving Coalition MPs appear to have strongarmed the Environment Minister into granting Adani access to Queensland's precious groundwater on the eve of the election.
"There remain serious questions about how this contentious proposal to take at least 270 billion litres of precious groundwater was approved at the last minute.
"CSIRO has raised significant concerns about the limitations of Adani's plans, including that it may have lowballed the amount of groundwater drawdown that will occur and the continued uncertainty about the source aquifer of the Doongmabulla Springs.
"The only way to truly protect Queensland's precious groundwater for our environment and farming communities is to stop the Adani coal mine from going ahead.
"If the minister was pressured to rush through this approval before the election, that may open such a decision to legal challenge.
"It is wrong to think Adani now has the green light start digging up coal in the Galilee Basin.
"A number of approvals remain outstanding and the Queensland government is yet to sign-off on Adani's Black-Throated Finch Management Plan and Groundwater Dependent Ecosystem Management Plan.
Adani hopes to take up to 12.5 billion litres of water – 5000 Olympic-sized swimming pools – from the Suttor River in central Queensland, a river that floods and dries up at different times and on which farmers and wetlands rely.
In an ongoing Federal Court case ACF is challenging the Federal Environment Minister's failure to apply the water trigger to Adani's proposed water pipeline project.

License that allows to make copies of a file and distribute them BUT NOT to make changes to the file
I am looking for a license that allows to make copies of a file and distribute them BUT NOT to make changes to the file, or cut parts of the text and distribute only them.
For example, that might be a good license for a CV/résumé file.
license-recommendation
unor
raptrapt
I think you are looking for the Creative Commons No Derivates license.
– Brandin
I'm voting to close because it is specifically a non-free license request.
– curiousdannii
@rapt The Free Software and Open Source definitions include allowing those who receive your code to modify it as they wish.
@rapt: Licenses can't limit freedom, because you need a license to have some freedom in the first place. Without a license, you are not allowed to do anything with a file you got from someone else.
– Bart van Ingen Schenau
@rapt: I doubt that. The license terms might not be spelled out as explicitly as for publicly published works, but if you give your resume to a recruiter with the understanding that it will be used in a certain way, then any judge will probably regard that as a license for using the resume in that way.
There are a couple of licenses that disallow modifications of a creative work in whole or part. The intention of these licenses is to prevent misrepresentation. This is especially suitable for works that express an opinion, or for legal notices.
The "nobody can change this document" requirement is very close to the default license: all rights reserved. So the only right you want to license is the right to make copies.
In most cases, the CC-BY-ND license family is the best license for creative works that you don't want changed. This license explicitly allows some changes that you might want to permit, e.g. format-shifting. As it is a copyright-based license, it cannot prevent adapated/changed works, but it does not allow them to be distributed.
The GPLv3 license text is itself under a short license that may suit your needs:
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
I think that is a very good license. If you use a similar phrasing, remember to replace "license document" with an appropriate description of the document.
The GFDL (GNU Free Documentation License) is a fairly complex license, but allows you to specify Invariant Sections. While other parts of the document may be changed, the content of these sections can only be copied verbatim. This license is generally unsuitable for small documents like CVs.
amonamon
Thanks. Is there any variant that also requires to get my explicit permission (i.e. written permission) before distributing a copy of the file?
– rapt
@rapt That is the default license: all rights reserved.
– amon
Then is it not contradictory to use both an open source license e.g. Apache License, or GNU GPL - AND the "Copyright © Me 20XX. All rights reserved."? I see it often... examples: stackoverflow.com/a/34805638/784980 github.com/jhford/screenresolution/blob/master/main.c ... If "All rights reserved" then why releasing it under an open source license.... which one takes precedence?
@rapt Great question! See MIT license and "All rights reserved."? (especially the second answer). Basically, "All rights reserved" used to be necessary as part of securing your copyright. Without it (pre-1910, in the U.S.), you wouldn't have a copyright to offer via a license. Nowadays, the phrase just sticks around out of habit and doesn't have a modern legal function (except to cause confusion!).
– apsillers ♦
@apsillers Thanks for the link! Good answers there. I have been wondering about this collision.
I still think this is off-topic, but since it hasn't been closed yet, I figured I'd point out that I do exactly this with my CV, and have done for some years.

The one & only...
Sydney Weisman has "been singing for as long as I can remember."
No surprise that, for it takes a lifetime of devotion to appreciate the very best of multiple generations – Dylan and Darin, the Gershwins, the Everlys, Rogers & Hart, Cahn, Van Heusen, Kermit The Frog.
She conveys delightful stories & gorgeous melodies, reminiscent of legends Frank Sinatra, Peggy Lee, Doris Day, Eydie Gorme, Broadway's Karen Morrow, any tap dancing musical number in a Broadway show or any MGM musical.
"What I always look forward to watching Sydney perform. Her material is interesting, surprising and fun. She is so darn likeable!" - Nancy Dussault
Sydney started singing professionally in college; since then, she has produced and performed her own show at numerous charitable fundraisers.
"What a joy to watch Sydney pull an audience right in with her charm, voice, and songs that go right to the heart and funny bone. Cabaret is richer for her presence." - Karen Morrow, acclaimed Broadway star, Emmy Award Winner and Master Level Performance Coach
Sydney's shows have captivated audiences at such famous Los Angeles venues as The Original Farmers Market (where she was a popular regular in their Jazz lineup) and in showcases at the famed Cinegrill at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel and the Gardenia. Her recent cabaret shows including "Little Miss Broadway at 70+" have highlighted the Arthur Newman Theater's cabaret series in Palm Desert, CA.
"Sydney was one of the top draws for our summer jazz series for more than 15 years. Her loyal fan base insisted every year that she'd be part of our lineup. Her warm, engaging and varied performances appealed to all ages. Children and older couples danced, even the bar regulars paid attention when she sang." - Ilysha Buss, Marketing Director, The Original Farmers Market at 3rd & Fairfax in Los Angeles
With more than 500 performances to her credit, Sydney puts meticulous thought into each performance's song selection. "When I pick a song," Sydney says, "the first thing I connect with are the lyrics. It can be the prettiest melody you've ever heard, but if the lyrics don't land, I don't do the song."
The reward, for those of us lucky enough to be in the audience, are engaging performances that wow fans. Happily, Sydney shares her music – as long as she's singing her songs, we're all the richer for it.

PICKET: Perry '01 - 'Fox's vision for an open border is a vision I embrace'
← return to Water Cooler
By Kerry Picket The Washington Times - June 21, 2011, 02:08PM
Texas Governor Rick Perry, Republican, reportedly being pushed by Texas lawmakers to throw his hat into the GOP presidential ring, very often touts his background on border security,but what about the Mr. Perry's past remarks and actions about immigration and the border? He is currently supporting a bill that was just passed by the Texas Senate that would give greater power to police officers to question those who are detained about their legal status. The AP reports:
The 19-12 vote early Wednesday came after nearly eight hours of emotional debate in which Democrats railed against the bill as racist and a tool to harass Latinos.
The bill pushed by Republican Gov. Rick Perry now goes to the House for consideration, where it is expected to easily pass. The Republican super-majority in the House passed a similar version during the regular session.
Perry and supporters say the bill will help police fight crime committed by illegal immigrants. But opponents, including law enforcement chiefs in the state's largest cities and immigrant rights activists, say the measure will allow rogue officers to target Hispanics.
However, Governor Perry appeared to be talking differently about the border when he first came to office. In a 2001 Border Summit speech, Governor Perry described to fellow border governors and others in attendance the amount of poverty :
President Fox's vision for an open border is a vision I embrace, as long as we demonstrate the will to address the obstacles to it. An open border means poverty has given way to opportunity, and Mexico's citizens do not feel compelled to cross the border to find that opportunity. It means we have addressed pollution concerns, made substantial progress in stopping the spread of disease, and rid our crossings of illicit drug smuggling activity.
Clearly we have a long way to go in addressing those issues. At the same time we must continue to deepen our economic ties, expanding opportunities for Mexican and U.S. companies to do business on both sides of the border. The outlook is promising, even if the road to prosperity is a long one. We share a bond as neighbors, and we find our culture north of the Rio Grande to be increasingly defined by the strong traits of people of Hispanic descent. Texas has long enjoyed a unique identity, an identity forged by an independent spirit, and the convergence of many different peoples. We must welcome change in the 21st Century as we have in every century before it.
Perry's press office responded Tuesday to my inquiry about his 2001 remarks above saying:
"Texas has a rich history with Mexico and shares a border of more than 1,200 miles. Mexico is Texas' largest trading partner and our cultures our inextricably tied together. As the governor has continued to say, in Texas, we have a shared interest with our counterparts in Mexico to securing the international border between our countries in order to protect our citizens and the legitimate cross border trade and travel that will help bring jobs to each of our economies. Gov. Perry will continue to urge the federal government to secure the international border from the growing threat of drug cartels in northern Mexico, and equally as important, we will work to maintain and strengthen our economic relations with our neighbors to the south."
In a 2004 Washington Times article with the headline "Fox seeks to open U.S. borders" Mexican President Vincente Fox said:
"We are not looking for an amnesty [for] Mexico. It's not that we're looking for these Mexicans working productively in the United States to become U.S. citizens. They like tacos, they like their families, they like their community, they like Mexico. Unfortunately, they don't have the opportunities that they would like to have as persons, so that's why they move."
The article goes further:
Mr. Fox said all immigration barriers should be removed to allow people to live and work in the country of their choosing, whether it be Mexico, the United States or Canada.
"On the long term, this North American bloc can be the leading bloc on the world and be the most competitive bloc on the world by working together and, through that, be able to keep increasing the quality and the level of life of our citizens," Mr. Fox said.
Mr. Bush heads to northern Mexico today to participate in the Summit of the Americas talks in Monterrey. A key subject will be his proposal allowing millions of Mexicans in this country illegally to remain for three years if they have jobs that citizens don't want.
Mr. Bush began lobbying Congress to pass a new alien work program in 2001, but the issue was sidelined after the September 11 terrorist attacks and renewed concerns over border security.
While Governor Perry is currently going the legislative route first started by fellow border governor Jan Brewer, Arizona Republican, his past remarks and actions regarding immigration and the border will remind many conservatives and Republicans of George W. Bush's failed strategy on immigration as well.
If Mr. Perry wants to be a national candidate for office, his handling of these issues over the years will be tough obstacles for the Texas governor to overcome with not only primary voters but also the national electorate. Similar to the circumstances Governor Mitt Romney faces when he must answer questions about why he continues to support his Massachusetts health care plan, Mr. Perry may very well have to deal with his own legislative baggage about the border.

While most people believe love leads to giving, the truth (as Rabbi Eliyahu Dessler writes in his famous discourse on loving kindness) is exactly the opposite: Giving leads to love. When an enthusiastic handyman happily announces to his non- mechanically inclined wife, "Honey, wait till you see what I got you for your birthday ― a triple-decker toolbox! Neither is a father's forcing violin lessons on his son because he himself always dreamed of being a virtuoso. " she cooed.) But in her study of real-life successful marriages Judith Wallerstein reports that "the value these couples placed on the partner's moral qualities was an unexpected finding." To the Jewish mind, it isn't unexpected at all.Now that you're feeling so warmly toward the entire human race, how can you deepen your love for someone?These may be the seeds of love, but they have yet to sprout.On the wedding day, emotions run high, but true love should be at its lowest, because it will hopefully always be growing, as husband and wife give more and more to each other.

India-China border row: People stage protest, shout anti-China slogans in Kolkata
June 20, 2020 22:01 IST
A number of Indians of Chinese descent Saturday held a protest in Kolkata against China's activities on the Line of Actual Control, holding the national flag and sloganeering in support of the Indian Army. The agitation was held at city's China Town.
The death of 20 Indian Army soldiers during a clash with Chinese troops at Galwan Valley in eastern Ladakh earlier this week has triggered protests in the country, including a call to boycott all things Chinese in the country.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of External Affairs, earlier in the day, rejected China's claim of sovereignty over the Galwan Valley and stated that attempts by Beijing to now advance "exaggerated and untenable claims" with regard to LAC there are not acceptable.
On Friday, China had said the Galwan Valley was "located on the Chinese side of the LAC, making an unprecedented formal claim on an area that has always been under India's control.
The Galwan Valley has not figured in China's maps since 1962.

For Our Dearly Departed https://www.brutalresonance.com/review/retrogramme-for-our-dearly-departed/ Electro Retrogramme Nick Quarm This may be their 3rd release, but I've not heard anything by Retrogramme prior to this initiation. Signed to EK Product, a label with whom I'm deeply familar, this DC based trio come across as being IDM meets Electro-Pop. "Save Without a Grudge" introduces the release, and does indeed sound like a hybrid between them. It uses IDM style drum work, and Electro-pop synth, with a vocal bit that falls somewhere between the two. The main allure of it is its melodic hook that stays in your head like a goddamn wasp. It's a track that I normally wouldn't listen to, but this has a melody that's really addictive. "Patricia" introduces a guest vocalist - Laya "Fix" Monarez. Sounding typically synthpop , i'm reminded of a more Darkwave focused Ultravox, with a penchant for IDM. This isn't bad at all, if not a tad similar. "My Advice" is much faster, and almost takes on a Rock-ish feel. Electropop at it's finest, and comparisons to Solvent, Ulrich Schnauss and Client seem to sum up this track.Dmitry's vocals seem to have a chillout vibe going on; it's probably the most energetic and danceable EKP album I've reviewed thus far, and the most comprehensive - I've no clear cut examples to give you, as Retrogramme seem very content in their own little niche. Rob's programming is as addictive as Monster ?, and Nikk's songwriting seems to waver from original to "I've heard something like this before, but it's still bloody good". That may seem like a harsher remark than intended - let us all remember how easy it is with such a melodic genre to reproduce similar tracks - the onus for genuine passion is here, and there's no doubt in my mind that the trio have left no stone unturned when putting together each track on this album. With production that's not possible to criticise, and an array of dazzling remixes, Retrogramme are an act that with summer forming, would make the perfect in-car soundtrack.

Well last evening saw more progress – but not much to show for it. Spend the evening getting the power supply for the shower finished and also did the last of the Pine Cladding so that I can do some varnishing. I plan to apply about three coats of Polyurethane silk finish varnish to protect the linings and that will have to start soon and in parallel with the vanity unit which is yet to start. I think that this evening will be a vanity unity focused evening 😉 Looks like we are on track for getting the bulk of the work done by the end if this weekend.
Above see the shower pump with power supply in place so it is now fully functional.
and above we see the pipe duct now fully clad appart from the small inspection hatch which is located at floor level.
Another evenings work and two significant landmarks on progress with the Bathroom!!!
Firstly, the Shower is now completely finished ready for use. I still have to connect the power supply for the pump and I intend to make that the next job which will make the shower usable. The bath has been sealed to the wall with white silicon so fully waterproof. In the photo below you can also see the glass shower screen – in a fairly big job like this it is always good to reach a key stage and this is one of those.
Back to joinery work and fitting the door and that is another key stage. The house is starting to return to normal as a whole. For the last 10 days or so we have had all the material for this project stored in various other rooms It is amazing how much space the stuff occupies. Mary is spending her spare time cleaning the house more then usual – the dust produced by the bathroom project work gets every where!!
So the next job is to finish the door ( fit door catch and handle etc.) and then turn to the vanity unit which still needs to be constructed and have the toilet cistern and wash hand basin installed in it!

A new species of Snakefly from the Middle Jurassic of Inner Mongolia.
Snakeflies (Raphidioptera) are a group of carnivorous flying insects related to the Lacewings, Antlions and Alderflies. They have long life cycles, with a number of larval stages, but still feed as adults. Modern Snakeflies are found throughout Europe and Temperate Asia, and in North America west of the Rockies, but they are more widespread in the fossil record, which dates back to the Early Jurassic. In the Early Cretaceous they have previously been described from three localities in East Asia and one in Brazil.
In a paper published in the journal BMC Evolutionary Biology on 18 April 2014, Xingyue Liu of the Department of Entomology at China Agricultural University, Dong Ren of the College of Life Sciences at Capital Normal University and Ding Yang also of the Department of Entomology at China Agricultural University, describe a new species of Snakefly from the Middle Jurassic Jiulongshan Formation of Inner Mongolia.
The new species is named Juroraphidia longicollum, where 'Juroraphidia' means 'Jurassic Snakefly' and 'longicollum' means 'long-neck'. The species is described from two specimens, both preserved as part and counterpart, from the Daohugou fossil locality of Ningcheng County in Inner Mongolia. Both specimens are slightly under 10 mm in length, with an extremely elongate prothorax (the front part of the thorax, resembling a neck).
Juroraphidia longicollum, first specimen. (A) Photograph; (B) drawing; (C) detail of head; (D) detail of prothorax; (E) detail of tarsi; (F) proximal half of wings; (G) pterostigmatic areas of wings. Abbreviations: t1-5, 1st-5th tarsomere; Sc (f) and Sc (h), forewing and hindwing subcosta; pt (f) and pt (h), forewing and hindwing pterostigma; Rs +MA (f), forewing Rs + MA; MA (f), forewing media anterior; MP (f), forewing media posterior; CuA (f), forewing cubital anterior; CuP (f), forewing cubital posterior. Scale bars represent 1.0 mm in (A) and (B); 0.2 mm in all other panels. Liu et al. (2014).
Juroraphidia longicollum is considered sufficiently different to any other known Snakefly that it is placed in its own family, the Juroraphidiidae. The early history of Snakeflies as a group is poorly understood. The group have an abundant fossil record in the Cretaceous, when they appear to have been considerably more diverse than currently the case, but have only a sparse Jurassic record, with no earlier fossils.
Traditionally the Raphidioptera is thought to have been more closely related to the Megaloptera (Alderflies, Dobsonflies and Fishflies) than to the Neuroptera (Lacewings, Mantidflies, Antlions, and their relatives), but recent molecular studies have suggested that the Megaloptera and Neuroptera are more closely related to one-another than either group is to the Raphidioptera. Fossil evidence suggests that the Megaloptera and Neuroptera diverged by the end of the Permian, implying that the Raphidioptera must have also diverged from the ancestor of this group by this time, but have no fossil record prior to the Jurassic. Liu et al. suggest that the Early Jurassic was probably a key period in the diversification of Snakeflies.

Boosting the morale of Canadian soldiers A new program has been launched in Cornwall to boost the morale of Canadian troops deployed over seas. Morale Mail was announced Thursday at the RCAFA Wing 424 in Cornwall, by, from left, Ray Summers, RCAFA Wing 424 president, Nicole Bergeron, co-ordinator of the Military Family Resource Centre and Mark MacDonald of the RCAFA. Please see page 3.


First, do both of the parentheses. Do the intersection of sets A and C, which means to include elements in common to both.
Then do the union of sets B and D, which means to include all the elements in both sets without including duplicates.
Finally, do the intersection of your answers from the two parentheses including the elements common to both.
Step 1: Recall what is the definition of the intersection of two sets.
The intersection of any two sets is defined as another set that contains only the shared elements between the two sets.
The elements that are shared are: .
means the union of set B and set C. Union means to include all the numbers that are in either set B or set C (without listing duplicates twice). The numbers 1, 3, 5, 8, 9, and 11 appear in B and the numbers 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 12 appear in C. Including all of those numbers in the set symbol gives the correct answer.


John Walker is the independent candidate running for student body president.
John Walker has been causing a stir in Student Government since he got involved with Senate two years ago. If you talk to his colleagues, they will share how brilliant his mind is for the Florida State University Constitution, how much he advocates for mental health and what a great leader he is. If you talk to his opponents, they'll tell you that he's self-interested, crazy and looking to take down Unite. So who is John Walker?
Walker lost a friend two years ago to suicide, and since then he has taken over 500 calls and put in over 300 volunteer hours with 211 Big Bend working on the crisis lines to help prevent other people from making that decision. This experience led Walker to do more than just advocate, but to become active in saving people's lives in a way that also allowed him to work through his loss.
Walker also works extensively with the Students for America's Military. His father is in the U.S. Army and currently stationed in Fort Carson, Colorado, and his grandfather had served. His sister was in the U.S. Air Force, and brother-in-law is still serving in it. His aunt and uncle are both in the Marines. In high school Walker did not join Reserve Officers' Training Corps in high school because he chose to do the Criminal Justice Academy instead. In the future, he wants to go into the military.
Walker has a passion for law and statutes. He represented himself alongside Amber Jackson during his case against Unite Party executive members.
One thing Walker made clear is that although others classify him simply as a white male, he is a proudly gay Hispanic man. Should he win, this would make him the first openly gay student body president.
Walker shared his opinion on Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals.
Over the past week, Walker and his team have gone to bat with the Unite Party over violations to the Election Code. Unite Party has been fined $11,088. Election Code states you cannot denounce other candidates or parties so he chose his words carefully when speaking on the issue.
Walker's platform is filled with plans to improve the relationship between the Student Body and SGA, such as weekly town hall meetings and a more transparent administration. He was also recently nominated by the College of Criminology and Criminal Justice for the President's Humanitarian of the Year Award.
He emphasized that he is running independent purposefully, to show students that non-affiliated parties can win office. Walker said wants others in SGA to see that you can stay true to who you are and your values and that you do not have to run with a party and be bound by other agendas to make a difference. He wants SGA to be more representative of all students and plans to work to bridge the gap through more transparency and communication.
Read more about Walker's platform at WalkerforFSU.com. Elections will take place on Wednesday, Feb. 21.

KILLER HAZEL STEWART TO MOUNT SECOND APPEAL AGAINST CONVICTIONS
'Black Widow' double killer Hazel Stewart to launch second appeal against murder convictions
'BLACK Widow' double killer Hazel Stewart is mounting a second bid to clear her name.
Convicted Stewart has appointed a new legal team who have sent her case to the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC).
Solicitors for the former Sunday School teacher want the CCRC to refer her conviction for the murder of ex-lover Colin Howell's wife Lesley back to the Court of Appeal.
And they also want the group which champions miscarriges of justice to overturn her conviction for killing her policeman husband Trevor Buchanan as part of the same plot.
Her lawyers also plan to introduce fresh psychiatric and psychological evidence. They also want to raise disclosure issues connected to another potential witness.
Stewart, 50, is serving a minimum 18-year jail sentence at the women's jail in Hydebank Wood for the murders of Constable Buchanan, 32, an RUC scenes-of-crime officer, and 31-year-old Lesley Howell.
The victims were found in a fume-filled garage in Castlerock, Co Londonderry in May 1991.
A subsequent inquest said Constable Buchanan and Lesley Howell had died in a suicide plot after discovering their partners were having an affair.
They were in fact murdered before their bodies were arranged to make it look like they had taken their own lives.
Nearly two decades passed before dentist Howell, 54, suddenly confessed to both killings.
He pleaded guilty to the murders in 2010 and was ordered to serve at least 21 years behind bars.
Howell also implicated his former lover in the plot and gave evidence against her at her trial.
In March 2011, Hazel Stewart was unanimously convicted of both killings by a jury at Coleraine Crown Court.
Earlier this year the mother-of-two failed in her first attempt to overturn the verdict that she murdered Lesley Howell.
At that stage she did not proceed with a challenge to being found guilty of killing her husband.
The Court of Appeal held there was strong evidence that she was a knowing and willing participant in the plan hatched by Howell.
Dentist Colin Howell plotted murder of wife and lover's husband
But newly appointed lawyers have now formally asked the CCRC to examine her case and form a view on whether there may have been a miscarriage of justice.
It could take up to two years before the body reaches a decision.
In the meantime Stewart's legal team are also seeking to take her conviction for murdering Constable Buchanan back to the Court of Appeal.
She insists her challenge to that verdict was never abandoned. Nor was there ever any acceptance of guilt.
Her lawyer, Kevin Winters of Kevin Winters & Co Solicitors said: "The application will also touch upon outstanding disclosure issues and unresolved matters arising from the original Crown Court trial."
"This case is somewhat novel and unusual given that it involves applications to both the CCRC and Court of Appeal on two separate murder convictions."
At the end of the case in March 2011, trial judge Mr Justic Anthony Hart QC said that by its verdict the jury had accepted that Stewart and Howell "were in it together".
He referred to her admissions to the police as to the part she played in the murders:
* she knew what Howell proposed to do but she did nothing beforehand to prevent the murders from being carried out;
* she knew she had to ensure her husband was sedated and admitted that she encouraged him to take a tablet that night when he said that he had difficulty in sleeping;
* she knew that she had to open the garage door to let Howell in and she did so;
* she let him into her house and did virtually nothing to dissuade him from murdering her husband;
* she knew as he went into the bedroom that he had already murdered his wife and was now going to murder her husband, yet she did nothing to prevent him;
* she provided Howell with clothes so that he could dress her husband's body;
* she cut up and burnt the hose which Howell used to kill her husband and washed the bedclothes in order to destroy evidence;
* she concealed what had happened from the police and provided them with a false account given to her by Howell designed to mislead the police and cover up the crimes.
Mr Justice Hart said that in this case both victims were in an exceptionally vulnerable position as they lay asleep when they were murdered.
He said that Hazel Stewart's culpability was exceptionally high because she knew in advance what Howell was going to do, and did nothing whatever to prevent the killings taking place:
"She could have told someone else, she could have told the police, and even after Lesley Howell had been murdered she could have prevented Howell from entering her house and killing her husband by any one of a number of actions, such as not opening the garage door to him, locking the door against him, waking her husband, ringing the police or alerting her neighbour to mention but a few.
"Whilst she knew Howell was murdering her husband in another room she waited and did nothing to save his life. Had she had a spark of compassion for her husband even at that late stage she would have tried to prevent his murder."
The judge set out the aggravating factors in the case: the murders were planned in advance, Hazel Stewart helped destroy evidence of the crime by burning the hose and washing the bed covers, and she played a full part in concealing what had happened by lying to the police in her inquest statement and putting forward the story concocted by Howell.
She also benefited financially from her husband's death but the prosecution accepted that this was not to the same extent as Howell did.
Mr Justice Hart also said he wanted to emphasise two further matters. The first was that Colin Howell accepted that he was the person who conceived and developed the plan to murder his wife and Trevor Buchanan.
As he put it at the trial: "I was the mastermind behind the plot and the plan, I was the one who had the intelligence to put the plan together".
The judge said that Hazel Stewart is entitled to some reduction in sentence compared to his because he planned and carried out both murders and persuaded her to take part.
Secondly, Howell confessed to his crimes. Had he not done so, neither he nor Hazel Stewart would ever have been brought to justice.
Hazel Stewart however cannot claim any reduction in the minimum term in her case because she pleaded not guilty.
Mr Justice Hart said her plea of not guilty is also relevant to consideration of whether she had shown any remorse.
He said that she repeatedly lied and persisted in attempting to evade responsibility for what happened when she was questioned by the police.
It was only when confronted with the evidence of the Temazepan found in her husband's blood during the autopsy that she started to give a more truthful account of what she knew was going to happen and what she had done.
The judge said that while she had expressed sorrow and regret during police interviews that was more about the effect of these events on herself, her children and her present husband than about the effects of the murders on all the others whose lives had been ended and blighted by the events: "I consider that she has expressed little real remorse for what she did, rather the sorrow and regret which she expressed to the police was largely because of the situation in which she found herself, and not for the events in which she played her part."
Mr Justice Hart considered that Hazel Stewart was infatuated with Colin Howell who was "undoubtedly a charismatic, manipulative, hypocritical man with a very considerable sexual appetite".
He believed that she was initially attracted to Howell because he offered that excitement she felt her marriage lacked:
"She then fell in love with him, and was driven by that love, and by intense sexual desire, to allow herself to be persuaded by Howell to play her part in these dreadful crimes, despite her fear that they would be caught, a part which she then concealed for many years.
"Despite her protestations to the police that she was controlled by Howell, his unchallenged evidence during the trial was that they continued their clandestine and highly active sexual relationship for several years after the murders, and even after she refused to marry him and they decided to end their relationship Stewart tried to persuade him to have sex."
Mr Justice Hart said he had read victim impact statements from Lesley Howell's brother, two of Howell's children, and from several members of Trevor Buchanan's family. He said these contain eloquent and deeply moving accounts of their sense of loss, the different ways that loss has manifested itself and their feelings of betrayal at having been deceived for so many years. He was also provided with statements from Hazel Stewart's children Andrew and Lisa and her husband in which they asked the court to show her leniency and take into account the effect upon them of a lengthy period of imprisonment.
The judge said that tragically the consequences for Hazel Stewart's children and her husband are part of the legacy of the conduct of both herself and Howell. Taking all of the factors into account, Mr Justice Hart concluded that the minimum term that Hazel Stewart should serve before she can be considered for release is one of eighteen years.
