Third murder suspect in Breanna Wood case pleads not guilty
Christopher Gonzalez was in court Friday morning for arraignment. He is facing multiple charges in the homicide case of Breanna Wood.
Gonzalez pleaded not guilty to all charges.
December 2017, Gonzalez was indicted on three counts, including capital murder, murder and engaging in criminal activity in connection with the murder of Breanna Wood.
Wood was reported missing in October of 2015. Her body was found in January 2017 at an abandoned home near Bluntzer.
ME: Breanna Wood shot to death
Joseph Tejeda, Wood's ex-boyfriend is accused of shooting her. Authorities say Gonzalez and Sandra Vasquez told Tejeda to kill Wood or they would have him killed.
Breanna Wood alleged shooter faces death penalty
Tejeda, Gonzalez and five others are in custody in connection with Wood's murder.
Earlier this month, Gonzalez was booked and processed. At that time, prosecutors announced they would not seek the death penalty against him. Gonzalez' bond is set at $1 million.

Тенегия () — вулкан на острове Пальма, Канарские острова, Испания.

Находится на юге вулканического массива Кумбре-Вьеха. Вулканический конус появился в результате извержения в 1971 году.

Извержение 1971 года
Тенегия является источником последнего субаэрального извержения вулкана в Испании, которое произошло с 26 октября по 28 ноября 1971 года. Извержению предшествовали землетрясения. В результате извержения погиб пожилой рыбак, который подошел слишком близко к лаве и задохнулся от испарений. Извержение также причинило некоторый материальный ущерб и разрушило пляж, хотя позже естественным путем был образован новый. Населенные зоны не пострадали. С тех пор это место стало достопримечательностью для туристов и является частью природного памятника Лос-Вулканес-де-Тенегия.

If you can travel through India, you can travel anywhere. At least we think so.
India is staggering madness. It is raw, dirty, crowded, vibrant, mystical, stunning, and it bewitches me every time.
We recommend that you have at least 1 month to properly experience this massive country. Cody and I truly believe that if you go in with an open heart and mind, you will have the experience of a lifetime.
You will no doubt feel culture shocked, but you will also return home a different person.
Here are some of our best tips, suggestions, warnings, and reasons we think you should travel to India.
Over 100 million Indians live on less than $2 a day and 27% of the Indian population lives below the poverty line.
India also has the 3rd highest number of billionaires in the world at 111.
In India people are honoured to have guests, and even more so if the guest is a foreigner.
There is a lovely Indian proverb that goes, "The guest is equivalent to God." So don't be surprised if you are invited into people's homes. Even if you are passing by on the street and strike up a conversation with people.
Our first visit to India was during Holi, a Hindu spring celebration where everyone throws coloured powder around. Cody and I were walking back to our guesthouse one day, and a few young girls were waving down to us from their rooftop.
Before we knew it, we were inside their home being fed sweets and chatting with the whole family! Another family invited us to their humble home with 2 other travellers and also fed us sweets and beer.
These are the times we look back on fondly when reminiscing about India. The moments that matter. If you are able to, pick up a gift to bring with you to the home you are visiting.
We had a second visit with one of the families during Holi, so we gifted them with a box of sweets.
I don't know a single person who doesn't like Indian food.
The diversity of flavours and textures make it a joy to wake up to a new day in India. From veg thali, to masala dosa, to channa masala, to veg sizzlers, to idli, to paratha and coconut chutney.
I have never met an Indian dish I didn't like.
We are still shocked at how cheap India can be. You can easily spend thousands of dollars here staying at beautiful lavish palaces, and eating at fancy tourist restaurants; or you can find safe hotels, guesthouses, and beach huts for $5-$20 a night.
And if you stick with local restaurants, it is next to impossible to spend over $15 for 2 people at any time. On average, 2 big plates of veg thali ran us $3 total all over India!!
A large meal consisting of veg fried rice, channa masala, plain naan, green salad, steamed momos, and a pot of mint tea in Leh, Ladakh was $12, and dinner at our hotel restaurant in Delhi was $7 for a green salad, veg fried rice, and a big plate of veg pakoras.
India is the place to be if you have to stick with your budget. You can even splurge and still your bank account won't take a hit.
No matter how well you take care of yourself while travelling through India, chances are you will come down with a case or two of Delhi belly. We certainly did!
This may include upset stomach, diarrhea, and dehydration. It is important to only consume filtered or spring water. If you do purchase bottled water, be sure to crush the bottle after use as people have been known to re-fill the bottles for re-sale.
Activated charcoal tablets, and oral rehydration salts are great items to have on your person. The charcoal absorbs toxins from your gut, and stops diarrhea, and the salts replenish your electrolytes after dehydration. You can purchase both at pharmacies all over India.
Additionally, you can ask restaurants whether they cook with pure filtered or spring water. A lot of restaurants advertise this.
This is probably a no brainer, but don't drink water from the tap or water jugs in restaurants unless of course the staff has assured you that it is filtered for guests.
Always purchase bottled water, or better yet, carry a water filter water bottle with you. We use the Grayl and absolutely love it.
You can also re-use your plastic bottle in many beach areas. A lot of places will charge about 5 rupees (.09) for the re-fill. The last thing India needs is more plastic waste.
India is the perfect place to eat with your hands.
Thali is eaten with your hands and a piece of chapati, as is masala dosa.
You know where your hands have been, and if you choose to eat with a utensil, give it a quick wipe before using it.
Remember, in India, the left hand is reserved for using the bathroom, so only use your right for eating.
Staring in India should be a national sport. All joking aside, it doesn't seem to be rude to hold a gaze with a stranger for ohhhh let's say 20 minutes.
And a group of 10 Indians have no problem with completely turning around in their seat to stare at you for as long as they care to.
It can definitely be annoying, but try to remember that it's India, and staring is not considered rude. If you are feeling uncomfortable, try pulling your camera out to take a photo of whoever it is that is staring.
They will likely go back to their business. It's worked for us many times.
With over 2 billion people in the country, personal space is nonexistent.
I myself am not comfortable with boarding a train sandwiched between hundreds of people. I did it once and don't plan on experiencing it again. It was a quick 20 minute train ride, and no harm done, but be aware that there may be situations where people are too close for comfort.
Sleeper, and chair trains are fine as you will be assigned a seat when you purchase your ticket.
You also have to be quite assertive when in line ups for anything, as queuing is not a strength of the people of India. People will cut in line, or just throw their arm right in front of you and through a ticket window or counter. If you don't push a little you will be waiting forever.
This endearing form of expression and communication is a part of the very fabric of India. Sometimes subtle, and other times vigorous, this national trait even varies from province to province.
The wobble has different meanings, including yes, no, maybe, and what's up. I have even caught myself participating while communicating with Indians. It is something between a nod and a shake and it is infectious.
A quick wobble from side to side means ok, or yes.
A fast and continuous wobble means the person understands.
A slower wobble usually means the person is unsure.
Drivers in India are infamous for their tricks to try to make more money from you.
You will be told that your hotel is closed, or caught on fire and they may even take you to an entirely different hotel.
To avoid the annoyance, and a negative first impression of India, book a hotel that offers airport pickup. And don't forget to tip the driver!
Like in many countries around the world, employees rely heavily on tips from customers to survive, and India is not exempt from that. 10% on a restaurant bill is an acceptable tip.
We always have a wad of 10 rupee bills for taxi drivers, room service, bag boys, etc. 20 to 40 rupees is a fine gratuity for service workers outside of restaurants.
Pay attention to your surroundings. Get to know the neighbourhood, and where you are staying.
I admit it can be pretty difficult not to be distracted by everything going on, but be mindful of where you are, where your money is, and how close people (children included) are to you.
We've never had a problem, but pickpockets do exist, and one can distract you as another dips into your pocket.
This applies to any country you visit. Look up your destination online, study maps, read travel blogs, contact people who are familiar with the country, or read the latest travel guide book.
There are scams in every single country you visit. Watch out for touts in India. They will approach you casually asking where you are from. After a little small talk, you will be asked to visit a tour office to get more info.
Your best bet is to either tell them you have been to India several times, and politely decline (this may take a few no thank yous), or that you live there. Works like a charm. They quickly walk away shortly after.
Cash is king in India. Credit cards are only accepted at larger hotels and businesses. Always carry cash for taxis, cheap hotels, food, and rickshaws. An under clothing passport/cash pouch is a good item to invest in.
Airports give lousy exchange rates. Use an ATM instead.
If you need a small amount of rupees before exiting the airport, exchange a few thousand there, but no more.
After a few days travelling to Delhi, Agra, or Jaipur, it might all start getting to you.
The noise, the air pollution, the traffic, the dirt, and the madness. So do not miss out on the beaches.
Give yourself a break. Goa has several different beaches to choose from. Agonda beach is really quiet and chilled out, and south Anjuna has all of the beach clubs, dj's, and dance parties.
Havelock Island (Andaman Islands) has some of the most beautiful beaches we have ever seen. Palm trees, warm breezes, white sand for miles when the tide is out, and beautiful turquoise water. They rival any beach in Thailand.
Even if it's just once. Train travel is a great way to see India, especially if you are on a budget and travelling long distances.
Only book 1, 2, or 3AC and book your tickets in advance.
We are not big consumers, but we are suckers for art and textiles from around the world, and India has some treasures.
Beautiful door handles, antique hand painted boxes, cotton kurtas, Tibetan banners, silver and turquoise, Hindu god paintings, mandala tapestries, and so much more! It is all a feast for the eyes, and pretty easy on the wallet.
Indians have bargaining down to an art. It may be intimidating at first, but it really is a lot of fun, and a part of the culture in India.
They will start with a pretty high price, then it is your turn to give them yours. Try to cut it down to 75% and at some point you should meet somewhere in the middle.
If they won't budge, say thank you and walk away. Chances are they will quickly call you back with an "Ok ok ok ma'am, 300 rupees." But remember to have a price in mind before playing the game.
As mentioned earlier, India is madness, but in the madness it is possible to find calm. Be still, breathe, and take it all as it comes. Try not to get overwhelmed by the chaos.
Remember this is a place like no other, and you are guaranteed to have colourful stories to tell after your departure.
Travel to India with a non-judgmental attitude, or not at all.
Especially if you are a solo female traveller. Raise your voice, say no, show confidence, and keep your head held high.
Raising your voice will also bring attention to you and whoever may be bothering you. It will likely cause them embarrassment.
Being assertive shows people you know what you are doing, and you will have less chance of being taken advantage of.
This is so important, especially if you do not want to be harassed, and if you care at all about travelling responsibly, and respecting the culture.
India is still a pretty conservative country. Cover your legs and shoulders if you are visiting temples. Don't wear short skirts.
Refrain from wearing tight, body-hugging clothing. Save the crop tops, short shorts, and bikini tops for the beach.
Unless you are with a friend or group of people. There really isn't a whole lot going on once the sun goes down unless you are in Goa, the Andaman Islands, or Bangalore.
Most importantly, show compassion. Anyone you encounter in India will likely not be a terribly evil person.
People are struggling to survive, so if you end up paying a few extra rupees here or there for something, consider it your good deed for the day.
We hope we've convinced you to add India to your bucket list. It is a land of deep contrast, beauty, and splendour, and if you approach it with understanding, we think there is a place in your heart for it.

Q: Should I say: She is 'no' student or She is 'not' a student? I'm always confused with that issue. Should I say

She is no student

or

She is not a student

Or are both of them equal? If they are, what is the difference between them?

A: The first sentence can mean that she is not a student despite seeming like one. Or that she did a bad job at being a student. This is a bit of a strong statement.
The second sentence is not grammatical. It should be

She is not a student.

The meaning of this sentence is self-explanatory.
To sum up, the two sentences do not mean identical things.

A: The two statements have very different connotations. "She is not a student" simply means what it says: "she is not a student, she is employed as a cleaner". While "She is no student" probably means something like "She might be registered as a student, but she's making no effort to study"

A: You can say either one, but they have different effects.
"She is not a student" is a simple statement of fact. "She is no student" is usually an emphatic statement, which only really makes sense when you're denying somebody else's implication that she's a student. For example, if one professor says, "A student asked me a question about [some crackpot theory] after yesterday's lecture," another professor might say, "She's no student! She's just some woman who slips into lectures so she can ask her crazy questions."  You could also use it figuratively, to mean that she's such a bad student that she doesn't deserve the name: "Mary? Ha! She's no student. I mean, she pays her fees and comes to lectures but have you ever seen her actually study anything? I haven't!"

A: I am an educated native speaker of American English. In both British English and American English, I believe, "She is no student" is usually a flippant judgment, while "She is not a student" does not imply any moral judgment, unless the judgment is implied by tone of voice.

A: You can say "She is no student."
This "style" is usually used for emphasis.

She is no student! She's an imposter, just a journalist trying to get her story!"

You cannot say "She is not student". Here you need an article. Your edit makes your example correct.

She is not a student.

A: "She is not a student" is just a statement, stating that she is not a student at all.
"She is no student" can mean different things, and is more empathic.
"She is no student" can mean that she does not study at all, she does not participate in projects, or even she does not even go to the school. It can generally mean "She does not act like a student" or "She is not a student".
Examples:

She neither studies nor she does her homework. She is no student!

or

She hasn't ever written an essay, so she is no student.

But you can't say:

She hasn't ever written an essay, so she is not a student.

A: After I cheeked this issue on so called a professional book of grammar (see below) I found these things:
"Negative statements are formed with the help of 'not' and 'no'

NOT + verb, or + many / much / a lot of
NO  + adjective, or + noun, or + negative short answer

"Guess the difference and give at least one contextual sentence: "She is not a student" 2. She is no student" end of quotation.
These things are from "English grammar for university students" (Harkiv 2010. p. 8)
Now, I don't understand the rull that "not" comes with verb etc. while in our case is not+ noun rather than not+ verb.

A: The two different sentences She is 'no' student or She is 'not' a student are different in their meaning. And can be used accordingly based on the context that you have.
1.She is 'no' student

This sentence means that someone is pretending like a student, who is actually not a student.

2.She is 'not' a student

This sentence is more clear and precise to say without any doubt that the person who is referred here (He or She), is not a student.

The following explanation will give you a short introductions to situations where these words are used.
The proper and formal pronunciation is to spell like:

*

*She is not a student.

Difference between no and not
We can make a word, expression or clause negative by putting not before it.

*

*I do not intend to resign.

*Ask James, not his wife.

*Not surprisingly, they got divorced within a couple of months.

*You can come tomorrow, but not on Friday.

No is used in a different way. It is used with a noun or an –ing form to mean 'not any'.

*

*No students joined the program. (= There weren't any students who joined the program.)

*No man is perfect. (= There aren't any perfect men.)

*She has got no children. (= She hasn't got any children.)

*I have got no money to buy food. (= I haven't got any money to buy food.)

In some cases the structures verb + not and no + noun can have similar meanings.

*

*There wasn't any reply. = There was no reply.

Exercise
Complete the following sentences not or no.
1) We have ______ money.
2) It is ______ true.
3) He is ______ stupid.
4) She has got ______ friends.
5) She has ______ got any money.
Answers:
1) We have no money.
2) It is not true.
3) He is no stupid.
4) She has got no friends.
5) She has not got any money.

'Potentially hazardous' asteroid the size of the Burj Khalifa is heading towards Earth at 67,000mph
The 2002 AJ129 asteroid has been classed a 'potentially hazardous' by Nasa
It will fly past on 4th February at speeds of 67,000mph (107,826kmh)
This makes it nearly 15 times faster than the world's quickest manned aircraft
A gigantic asteroid which is larger than the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa, will hurtle past our planet in around two weeks time.
The 2002 AJ129 asteroid has been classed a 'potentially hazardous' by Nasa and will fly past at speeds of 67,000mph (107,826kmh).
This makes it nearly 15 times faster than the world's quickest manned aircraft - the hypersonic North American X-15, which travelled at 4,520mph (7,300kmh).
The 2002 AJ129 asteroid has been classed a 'potentially hazardous' by Nasa and will fly past Earth on 4th February at speeds of 67,000mph (107,826kmh) (stock image)
The asteroid is around 0.7 miles (1.1km) wide - making it longer than the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, which stands at 0.5 miles high (0.8km).
It is set to pass by our planet on the 4th February at a distance of around 2,615,128 miles (4,208,641km) away - which is relatively close in space terms.
For reference, the distance between the Earth and the moon is 238,855 miles (384,400 km).
Freeze frame: Incredible moment a soap bubble blown in... How mantis shrimps pulverise their prey: Unique structure... A solution to the dismal morning commute? Two-seater... Would YOU live in Google's 'city of the future'? High-tech...
Nasa describes asteroids as 'hazardous' if they come within 4,600,000 miles (7,403,00km) of our planet.
It is the largest space rock to brush past our planet this year and previous research has found a rock of this size could plunge Earth into a mini-ice age if it hit.
WHAT IS THE 2002 AJ129 ASTEROID AND IS IT A THREAT?
The asteroid is around 0.7 miles (1.1km) wide - making it only slightly smaller than Hyde Park which is around 0.9 miles (1.4km) across.
However, it does not pose an actual threat of colliding with our planet for the foreseeable future, Nasa says.
'We have been tracking this asteroid for over 14 years and know its orbit very accurately,' said Paul Chodas, manager of Nasa's Center for Near-Earth Object Studies at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.
'Our calculations indicate that asteroid 2002 AJ129 has no chance - zero - of colliding with Earth on Feb. 4 or any time over the next 100 years.'
The impact would cause average temperatures around the world to fall by as much as 8°C, according to a 2016 study on the effects of a collision with a 0.6-mile-wide (1km) asteroid.
Scientists warned the 'very severe global impact' would last several years, causing the world to become a much darker, colder and drier place.
'These would not be pleasant times,' Charles Bardeen, of the National Center for Atmospheric Research said during a presentation at the American Geophysical Union (AGU) at the time.
The asteroid is around 0.7 miles (1.1km) wide - making it longer than the Burj Khalifa in Dubai (pictured), which stands at 0.5 miles high (0.8km)
In the 'worst case scenario', soot would remain in the atmosphere for around 10 years, while dust take six years to settle back on Earth.
Fortunately Nasa does not think this asteroid will collide with Earth.
PLANETARY DEFENCE
Anything that flies closer than six million miles of our planet is a near earth asteroid and could cause severe damage were it ever to crash into Earth.
Deflecting an asteroid that is on an impact course with Earth requires changing the velocity of the object by less than an inch per second years in advance of the predicted impact.
Nasa is currently moving forward with a refrigerator-sized spacecraft capable of preventing asteroids from colliding with Earth. A test with a small, nonthreatening asteroid is planned for 2024.
This is the first-ever mission to demonstrate an asteroid deflection technique for planetary defence.
The Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) would use what is known as a kinetic impactor technique—striking the asteroid to shift its orbit.
Currently Nasa would not be able to deflect an asteroid if it were heading for Earth but it could mitigate the impact and take measures that would protect lives and property.
This would include evacuating the impact area and moving key infrastructure.
Finding out about the orbit trajectory, size, shape, mass, composition and rotational dynamics would help experts determine the severity of a potential impact.
However, the key to mitigating damage is to find any potential threat as early as possible.
'As of December 24, there are 17,495 known Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) around our planet; 17,389 are asteroids', a Nasa spokesperson told the Express last month.
'This year, we discovered 1,985 new near Earth asteroids. There were 1888 such objects discovered in 2016 and 1,571 in 2015'.
The impact would change the speed of a threatening asteroid by a small fraction of its total velocity, but by doing so well before the predicted impact, this small nudge will add up over time to a big shift of the asteroid's path away from Earth.
In February 2013 a 19-metre meter (62-feet) meteor exploded in the skies above Chelyabinsk in Russia.
The energy - which was equivalent to 500,000 tonnes of TNT - and injured more than 1,000 people.

"Here's a history – a tradition even - of creative dissatisfaction, of endlessly fizzing fireworks in the suburbs, small towns and city centres of Scottish life.
A good flourishing society needs security but it also needs risk. When Scottish pop is exploding loudly its an indication that we're holding that balance in a sweet spot. "
I am very encouraged to hear it is still about great melodies and anthems, those packed crowds can sing along to.

Planning a Key West wedding aka A Destination wedding. How do I? Simple question, can be simply answered with one word: Planning. From the very start think about what you're looking for in an island wedding, is it the adventure of the escape to paradise to tie the knot, the idea of having both a wedding and honeymoon in the same location? What are your priorities? Think about your budget, or how much you want to spend? The idea of only having to invite a few guests as opposed to many in your home town? Key West offers much in the way of beautiful locations for your wedding, many of which can be combined offering both ceremony and reception in the same place. If you want just a ceremony on the beach, and perhaps a small dinner reception afterward we this can be accomplished as well, with our many upscale restaurants. In planning a Key West wedding think about cost, cost for wedding services, but also travel cost, how will you and your guest arrive in Key West, where will you stay while on the island, will the lodging location offer group rates for you and your guest? Would you stay at one of the cozy Bed and Breakfast Inns, Guesthouses, or perhaps you're looking for a Resort type atmosphere? There are many located on the island and cost will vary on whether or not it is "season" in Key West . Find out if your visit to the island coincides with the many festival the island holds, and will there be a conflict? What time of day do you want to have your event? During the day? Mid-Afternoon? A pre-Sunset wedding? How will you two be dressing for your event? How big will your bridal party be? Do you want a Civil ceremony or one that is Religious? Will there be children present? All questions for your consideration, and there will be more. What is important to you with regard to photography or video for your wedding? This brings up an interesting thought to consider: When considering a professional photographer for your once in a lifetime event consider the amount of experience they have had with wedding photography. There are many "want-to-be" photographers out there, but how will your photographer respond when suddenly their photography equipment malfunctions, even back-up equipment where all automatic capabilities are no longer functioning? Will you be their first Victim? When considering your videographer for your event, will time be taken to professionally edit your event? Will you receive a beautiful mini-movie of the two of you, complete with music that you have had an input in? Will your wedding video be an "in-camera" edit? Or will it be completely edited all the way through? This is a once in a lifetime event, a time in your life in which an established professional is most important as what is being created for you is a family heirloom that you would want to hand down to your children and grandchildren.


Thanks to fellow Travel Betty and friend, Marya L. for taking pity on me after my failed trip to the Nahunta Pork Center back in June. She recently snagged me this awesome muffiny Nahunta trucker cap and a vaccuum-sealed package of cured ham. I also got a pen, a Nahunta business card and some pork literature, which I promptly drooled over (admittedly, it tasted more like paper than anything porcine).
Word of advice: if you're looking to get into my good graces, you can never go wrong with the gift of pork.
Funny stuff travel-betty, I envy you.
Or should I say, good greases!


With all the recent media attention given to Beyonce's singing (or not) of the National Anthem at the Presidential Inaugaration I thought it may be a good time to share some thoughts on authenticity. There was a commercial from the early 1970's – yes I'm dating myself but let's suffice it to say I was very young and barely remember the commerical 🙂 The commerical was for Memorex tapes which were used for recording purposes. They featured Ella Fitzgerald singing a note that shattered a glass while being recorded to a Memorex audiotape. The tape was then played back and the recording also broke the glass as the announcer voice asked "Is it live, or is it Memorex?" The point was that the recording was so close to the real thing that you couldn't tell the difference between the two. People have always been fascinated with the real versus fake stories in which something we thought to be real was revealed a fake – think "Lance Armstrong doping scandal", "Manti Te'o fake girlfriend", "runaway bride from Georgia", and the heartbreaking story of Susan Smith of South Carolina. These stories make for headlines that we just can't seem to get enough of.
We long for authenticy because it's part of our design. We were created to seek what is real and what is true. In a perfect world that longing would lead us to Jesus. But for many of us we are drawn to what seems real only to find ourselves fooled by imposters. The enemy of our souls is a master deceiver and he uses his abilities to draw us into believing in something or someone other than Christ. Many times the fakes are packaged so well it's nearly impossible to tell the difference between what's real and what's not.
Because we instinctively seek that which is authentic, we can be incredibly scarred when we believe something to be real only to find out it never was. People who are seemingly real wield great power to influence those desperately seeking something or someone who is genuine. Sometimes that is used to bring great harm to those who believe the lie. Jim Jones and David Koresh are just two of many such individuals who took advantage of people who were seeking the truth only to later to be revealed as masters of deception.
The impact that such deception, whether intentional or simply by the succeptibility to failure of the human nature, ranges from mild letdown to devastating hurt. Many have put their trust and faith in a person, a job, an organization, a church or an ideology only to be forever damaged by broken trust and crushed faith when they found that what they believed to have been true and real was not.
There is only One in whom we can securely put our trust and faith in. And with great confidence we can believe everything He says to be true because He has never failed, never been anything other than who He says He is. His love for us displayed in the sacrifice of His son, Jesus, is proof that His love is real. For those willing to say they believe, He reveals Himself fully as the Truth. But many find it hard to believe and hard to trust because their previous misplaced trust and faith has brought them great pain in the past. So they respond with disbelief and doubt.
For those of us who call ourselves Christians, we are charged with sharing His truth with those who doubt. And if we are to be successful in influencing them to share in what we already know to be real, we must first be authentic ourselves. People must see Christ through us so that we are not setting them up for letdown. If we are solely depending on our own abilities to influence others we are risking failure and loss of trust. But when they see Christ in us, we cannot fail because He never fails to be anything but authentic.
The way we do this is by spending time with God through prayer, reading His Word, and spending time with other believers who seek the same. In doing so we are molded more and more into God's image and that becomes what is reflected to others when they encounter us in the workplace, in school, in our neighborhoods or in the community. And we must always guard our hearts against the deception and temptation of the enemy. There are many people in the world today seeking something real and we have the opportunity to show them God by being authentic ourselves. We must take our responsibility seriously and refrain from actions and behaviors that would compromise that opportunity for influence.
As humans we were made to seek that which is truth. If you are a believer, make sure you do everything you can to ensure that when they meet you they'll see the authenticy of Christ in you. Unlike Memorex, being a real good copy will never have the same impact as being 100% real. Make sure when someone asks "are they for real?" the answer is a resounding yes!

Der Kanzler war ein Minnesänger und Sangspruchdichter, der vermutlich am Ende des 13. Jahrhunderts im oberdeutschen Raum wirkte. Von ihm sind 77 Strophen bekannt, die im Codex Manesse überliefert wurden.

Leben
Über das Leben des Kanzlers ist nur sehr wenig bekannt. Anhand der frühesten Überlieferung Kanzlerscher Strophen in der Basler Rolle sowie des Einflusses Konrads von Würzburg lässt sich sein Werk auf das letzte Drittel des 13. Jahrhunderts datieren.

Der Name Kanzler war im 13. Jahrhundert ein gängiger Familienname im gesamten süddeutschen Raum und dürfte demnach kein politisches Amt des Dichters markiert haben. Eine genaue geographische Verortung ist nicht möglich, seine dichterische Sprache lässt aber eine oberdeutsche Herkunft vermuten. Es handelte sich mit großer Wahrscheinlichkeit um einen Angehörigen des bürgerlichen Standes, der ein Leben als fahrender Dichter führte. Darauf weisen zum einen Andeutungen in seinen Sangsprüchen und zum anderen die später überlieferten Meistersingerhandschriften hin. Die Gleichsetzung des Kanzlers mit einem Schulmeister aus Offenburg, der in Urkunden von 1312 und 1323 auftaucht, ist nicht bewiesen. Dagegen spricht vor allem die Selbstbeschreibung des Kanzlers als Fahrender in seinen Sangsprüchen.

Wie die Überlieferungen zeigen, war der Kanzler kein Unbekannter: Zahlreiche Meistersinger dichteten in seinen Tönen, erwähnten seinen Namen und nahmen ihn in den Kreis der zwölf alten Meister auf. Der Kanzler war vermutlich Schüler Konrads von Würzburg, dessen dichterisches Schaffen ihm als Vorbild gedient hat. Ob er seine Lieder noch zu Lebzeiten Konrads oder erst nach dessen Ableben verfasst hat, ist unklar.

Werk

Überlieferung

Vom Kanzler sind insgesamt 77 Strophen überliefert, davon 44 Sangspruchstrophen in fünf verschiedenen Tönen (Goldener Ton, Hofton, Ton I, Ton III, Ton XIII) und 33 Minnesangstrophen. Der wichtigste Zeuge ist der Codex Manesse (Handschrift C), der unter dem Namen Chanzler alle 77 Strophen enthält. Der Kanzler befindet sich dort am Ende des Grundstocks und beschließt die Reihe der 140 Dichter. Die den Gedichten vorangestellte Miniatur zeigt drei sitzende Spielleute: Der Mittlere stellt vermutlich den Kanzler als Dichtenden bzw. Singenden dar, der von zwei Personen mit einer Fidel und Flöte begleitet wird. Die Miniatur ist wappenlos, was als ein weiteres Indiz gegen die adelige Herkunft des Kanzlers gewertet werden kann.

Eine ergänzende Überlieferung gibt es in der Basler Rolle (Handschrift B3, Ende 13. Jahrhundert), die allerdings nur mehr fragmentarisch erhalten ist. Sie beinhaltet lediglich acht Sangspruchstrophen, die sich auch in C finden. Deutlich später ist die Überlieferung in der Niederrheinischen Liederhandschrift (Handschrift N, Ende 14. Jahrhundert) sowie der Basler Meisterliederhandschrift (Handschrift b, Mitte 15. Jahrhundert). In der Kolmarer Liederhandschrift sind zwei Melodien zum Goldenen Ton überliefert.

Lyrisches Œuvre
Das Œuvre des Kanzlers beinhaltet sowohl Sangspruchdichtung als auch Minnesang. Die zentralen Themen der Sangsprüche sind Sittenlehre, Zeitkritik, Astronomie sowie der Tod. So stellt er etwa Tugenden und Laster dar, klagt über den Niedergang der Sitten, die kunstlosen Sänger sowie den Verfall des echten Adels. Die Gedichte sind reich an Metaphern und zeichnen sich durch weite Interpretationsspielräume aus. All das spiegelt die bemerkenswerte gelehrte Bildung des Kanzlers wider. Er agierte als Warnender und Mahnender, der es verstand, die Missstände seiner Zeit gekonnt aufzuzeigen. Die meisten seiner Minnelieder vermitteln ein idyllisches Weltbild, beginnen oft mit einem Natureingang, gefolgt von einer allgemeinen Verherrlichung der Frau.

Ferner finden sich in seinen Gedichten einige Indizien für die Lebensverhältnisse eines mittelalterlichen Dichters. Der Kanzler tätigt nämlich Aussagen über sein Dasein als ein fahrender Sänger, der auf die Großzügigkeit, Güte und Freigebigkeit des Adels angewiesen ist. Zudem scheinen immer wieder Schilderungen über ein einfaches, von schwierigen Umständen gezeichnetes Leben durch.

Textbeispiele

Sangspruchdichtung
Beispiel 1
Ich hab mich underwunden
ze singen ob ich mac.
ze tihten trûwe ich vinden:
des wîsent mich diu buoch.
Noê mit schanden funden
wart, dô er trunken lac,
von drîen sînen kinden;
dem einen wart der fluoch.
Kam vant sîn vater blôzen;
mit spot in schalle er schrei
'seht umb den trinken bôzen,
sîn wîsheit ist enzwei.'
Sem und Japhet die beide
im leiten uber ir kleit:
in tet sîn schame leide.
dâ huob sich edelkeit.
Ich habe mich dazu entschlossen
zu singen, soweit ich dazu in der Lage bin.
Ich vertraue darauf, etwas zum Dichten zu finden,
so wie mich das die Bücher lehren.
Noah wurde von seinen drei Kindern
in beschämender Verfassung vorgefunden,
denn er lag dort betrunken;
eines von ihnen wurde später verflucht.
Ham fand seinen Vater entblößt vor;
spöttisch rief er laut:

Sem und Japhet bedeckten ihn beide
mit ihrem Gewand,
denn seine Entblößung tat ihnen leid.
Auf diese Weise zeigte sich vornehmes Verhalten.

Inhalt und Interpretation

Dieser Sangspruch markiert den Beginn der Kanzlerschen Gedichte in Handschrift C. Rudolf-Erhard Zach geht davon aus, dass sich der Kanzler mit dieser Strophe einem neuen Publikum als Dichter vorstellen wollte und sie daher als eine Art Einleitung zu seiner Darbietung vortrug.

Das lyrische Ich verkündet darin die Absicht zu singen und zu dichten und beruft sich auf ein Buch als Quelle, vermutlich das Alte Testament, denn es wird in weiterer Folge eine Geschichte aus dem Alten Testament aufgegriffen. Das Wissen um diese Episode zeigt die gelehrte Bildung des Kanzlers. Sie handelt von den Noah-Söhnen Ham, Sem und Japhet, die ihren Vater entblößt und betrunken auffinden. Während Ham den Vater verspottet und daraufhin verflucht wird, zeigen Sem und Japhet Mitleid. Sie bedecken Noah mit einem Kleidungsstück. Das Sänger-Ich kommt zu dem Schluss, dass in ihrem mitfühlenden Verhalten der Ursprung der edelkeit (hohes Ansehen, edle Gesinnung) liegt. Die edelkeit äußert sich somit im Verhalten, nicht in Macht, Schönheit oder Besitz.

Beispiel 2
Mich vrâget manic edel man
'her Kanzeler, ir kündet mir,
man seit ir künnet künste vil:
waz tuot iuch guotes bar?'
des antwürt ich im, ob ich kan,
dur waz ich guotes ofte enbir.
die herren kargent âne zil,
swar ich der lande var.
hæt ich gelücke und dâ bî kunst
und ouch die herren milte bî ir guote,
erwurbe ich dan der edelen gunst,
armuot, sô schiede ich gar von dîner huote.
sus hât gelücke von mir pfliht:
ob ich iht kan, waz sol mich daz genützen?
mir sint die herren milte niht,
mich schiuht ir guot sam wildiu krâ den schützen.
Mancher Edelmann fragt mich:

Darauf sage ich ihm, wodurch ich, wenn ich es recht verstehe,
häufig mittellos bin.
Wo ich im Land herumkomme,
herrscht bei den Herren Knauserei ohne Ende.
Hätte ich Glück und dazu mein Können
und hätten die Herren bei ihrem Vermögen auch Freigebigkeit
[und] ich erwürbe dann die Gewogenheit dieser Edlen,
dann, Armut, entkäme ich gänzlich deiner Obhut.
So aber nimmt sich das Glück meiner nicht an.
Verstehe ich auch mein Metier, was nützt es mir?
Für mich haben die Herren keine offene Hand,
ihr Gut meidet mich wie die wilde Krähe den Schützen.

Inhalt und Interpretation

Das lyrische Ich klagt in Form eines Gespräches mit seinen Rezipienten über seine missliche Lage sowie den Geiz des Adels. Die Strophe beginnt mit der Wiedergabe einer Frage (in direkter Rede dargestellt): Die edlen Herren scheinen darin das hohe Kunstverständnis des Sänger-Ichs anzuzweifeln.

Die Anrede her ist vermutlich ironisch zu verstehen und verweist auf keine adelige Herkunft des Dichters. Sie soll dem fahrenden Sänger-Ich, das offensichtlich viel auf sich hält, vielmehr signalisieren, dass es nur einem niedrigen Stand angehört. Diese Anrede gebührt ihm somit nicht. Das lyrische Ich versucht in einer Art Gegenrede die Umstände für seine Mittellosigkeit zu begründen. Überall, wo es hinkommt, sieht es sich mit derselben Hartherzigkeit und Knausrigkeit konfrontiert. Es sucht die Ursache für seine Armut nicht bei sich selbst, sondern macht die Herren dafür verantwortlich. Am Ende werden Bedingungen für eine Verbesserung der üblen Lage angeführt: Es braucht Glück, dichterisches Können sowie die Gunst der Herren. Zudem müssen die Herren ausreichend viel besitzen, um davon überhaupt etwas abgeben zu können.

Minnesang
Strophe 1
Leider winter ungestalt,

Strophe 2

Strophe 3

Strophe 1
Verhasster, widerwärtiger Winter,
bleib draußen!
Deine Gewalt
schwindet dahin,
deine Kraft bekommt Brüche und Risse,
deine Mühle mahlt nicht mehr.
Der Gesang unzähliger Vögel
kam durch dich zu Schaden
und der Wald auch.
Darum hat dich der Leute Reden
oft gescholten.
Nun ist dein Fließen eingedämmt.
Wohlauf, zum Tanz, jung und alt!
Die Schneemassen sind [wie] weggewischt.
Ihr lieben jungen Leute,
ihr sollt fröhlich sein!
Sagt ab dem Kummer,
lasst Zuversicht einkehren,
da der kalte Reif
fortgejagt und vertrieben ist.

Strophe 2
In dieser Jahreszeit soll sich der freuen,
dem ein Mädchen
zugetan ist,
das es vermieden hat,
den Weg der guten Sitten zu verlassen.
Denen steht das Glück offen.
Seht, ich dagegen erleide Trübsal
und Kummer.
Mitten im Reichtum
sagt sich die Freigebigkeit von dem los,
was sie auszeichnete, vom Schenken.
Statt ihrer gedeiht der Geiz.
Schande hat sich, das kann ich beschwören,
weithin ausgebreitet.
Mich freut die breite Heide nicht
und nicht ihr grünes,
weites Kleid,
wie sie es auch zurüstet,
da die Herren neuerdings von Freigebigkeit
nichts mehr wissen wollen.

Strophe 3
Schande, stark wie ein Elefant,
ist ausgesandt
[und] kommt
in das Land gelaufen.
Fürsten, die entehrt sind,
führt sie an der Hand.
Die edlen Tugenden sind geblendet
und bis zur Unkenntlichkeit
verkehrt.
Die Sittenverderber zerspalten
den edlen Schild.

Wie ein Fasan verbirgt sich die Milde
hinter dem Wall des Geizes.
Verbrannt sind die Festungen der Ehre,
ihr Gewand
ist verpfändet.
Ihr, die man immer auf der Seite der Tugend fand,
lasst euch ermahnen,
meidet die Fesseln der Schande!

Inhalt und Interpretation

Alle Kanzlerschen Minnelieder zeichnen sich durch eine Dreistrophigkeit aus, so auch dieses Beispiel. Die erste Strophe beginnt mit dem gattungstypischen Natureingang, der Klage über den Winter und dem Preis des Frühlings/Sommers. Letzterer schafft in Strophe zwei eine Überleitung zur Frau und Minne. Die Schönheit der frühlingshaften Natur entfacht ein Gefühl von Freude und ermuntert die Menschen zur Liebe.

In der Mitte der zweiten sowie in der dritten Strophe folgt eine für den Minnesang ungewöhnliche Wendung. Wie Jens Haustein konstatiert, wird das Ich nun zu einem typischen Sangspruch-Ich, das auch im Sommer über Leid und Geiz klagt und mahnende Worte ausspricht. Als Wurzel allen Übels werden erneut die fehlende Freigebigkeit des Adels sowie die daraus resultierende Schande angeführt. Die dritte Strophe weist eine starke Bildsprache durch die dichte Aneinanderreihung von Metaphern und Vergleichen auf.

Das Lied ist auch aufgrund einer formalen Eigenheit besonders einprägsam: Die jeweils zwanzig Verse der ersten Strophe reimen auf die Silbe -alt, die der zweiten auf -eit und die der dritten auf -ant. Dadurch wird die Mahnbotschaft des Textes wirkungsvoll verstärkt.

We are Craig, Jill, Ellie & George Smith.
Craig's job as a professional rugby player originally brought us over to France several years ago in 2008. Starting off in Paris for 2 years, we then made a move down to the South of France and never looked back. We settled on the outskirts of Pouillon in the Landes and felt right at home from the outset, you could say it was love at first sight.
Trying to find a family home and business is no small feat but we knew as soon as we saw Bidas that it was the one for us. We spent the best part of 2012 and early 2013 working with a team of artisans to renovate the old farmhouse into a home from home holiday gîte, with a few luxuries thrown in there. We were keen to keep the style and ambiance of the building so it was important that we had a team of people who shared our vision and passion for this project. With their input on the Landaise style we have created an idyllic retreat for that perfect getaway.
We are both native English speakers with fluent French (some Spanish, Italian and Norwegian also possible!) and are happy to share our knowledge on the area to advise on all must-do's and must-see's! We know you will love it as much as us and look forward to welcoming you to Maison Bidas in the future.

HomeWarbirds NewsSouthend Vulcan Stretches Her Legs
December 16, 2020 WarbirdsNews Warbirds News 0
On December 12th, the Vulcan Restoration Trust's exercised their Avro Vulcan B.2 XL426 on the runway at London Southend Airport in Southend-on-Sea, Essex. The locally-based organization maintains one of just three Vulcans which can still move under their own power on the ground. XL426 performed four, full-power taxi runs over the course of the day, providing two groups of visitors a rare treat to witness the raw power of the mighty Vulcan's Rolls-Royce Olympus engines at 'max chat' as the Cold War bomber roared down the runway in a simulated take-off run.
The Centre of Aviation Photography (COAP)'s was involved with the event, and co-founder, Steven Comber, shared a few of his photos with us, which we thought our readers would like to see. As many will know, world-renowned, award-winning photographer and journalist Rich Cooper co-created COAP with Comber in 2015. A professionally run organization, COAP operates a year-round program of aviation-photography experiences for participants via a staggering portfolio of Aviation Photography Workshops, Photo-Shoots, Air-to-Air flights, Seminars and Exotic Wings photography visits around the world.
Regarding COAP's trip to Southend to see the Vulcan, Comber related: "The four taxi runs in varied lighting and weather conditions between morning and afternoon sessions presented interesting and challenging shooting conditions, delivering some alternative images not previously seen on the internet. Early morning arrival allowed valuable time to scout out the best vantage points before heading in afterwards to shoot inside as well; an ace aviation-fueled day to end 2020 on!"
For those wanting to know a little more about XL426's present situation, the Vulcan is maintained in full ground-running condition (i.e. non-airworthy, but taxiable, with systems, including engines, kept in operational status) as part of Britain's aviation heritage and in tribute to the RAF personnel who flew and maintained the type during the Cold War. The Trust also serves an educational role for the general public regarding the Vulcan, and the important role these aircraft played in shaping Britain's military history during the post-WWII era.
For those interested in witnessing this Vulcan's roar, there is an event in the planning stages for May 2021 which you will not want to miss! If you are able, you should consider becoming a member of the Vulcan Restoration Trust to help volunteers maintain XL426's bright future at Southend. For more information, please do visit www.avrovulcan.com
Below are some of Steven Comber's images from the December 12th event. You can almost feel the earth rumbling to the sound of those four Olympus engines! Many thanks again to Steven for providing us with these images!
To learn more about the Centre of Aviation Photography (COAP), please visit their website HERE. While the pandemic will have 2021 plans in flux for the moment, they are sure to have an amazing lineup of fabulous aviation photography adventures lined up for next year!
