In order to maximize the outcome of dental implant surgery, some patients may require a bone graft. The need for a bone graft can be where teeth have been lost or the bone shrinks or melts away over time. In some instances there can be bone loss around existing teeth due to infection, gum disease, or other traumas. Previously bone grafting required using large quantities of the patient's own bone known as autogenous grafts. However, today we use synthetics or processed bone.
At your consultation, our surgeons will discuss if you need a bone graft as a pre-requisite to optimize your treatment plan. The technique and materials used will be determined at your consultation appointment and our surgeons will recommend the best treatment options available based on your unique situation.
For more information, please contact our office to set up a consultation.

Bus: It is possible to get within 2km of our farm by local bus (bus 23a from Santa Maria Novella station to Sorgane and there change to bus 48 to Torre Rossa.) we do not recommend this as during bus times for bus 48 we only have a small truck available and the road the remainder of the way is too rough for suitcases to be wheeled.
Taxi: taxi from the airport and station is possible and would cost 50 euro from the airport and around 40 euro from the station, however it is unlikely the taxi driver would find hi way here so I would printout the directions below before catching a taxi. Taxis will not however pick up from here so you would need to get to Torre Rossa for return pickup.

limo service is available from the Florence airport and Santa Maria Novella station.

How Not to Die Alone (Large Print / Paperback)
By Richard Roper
Not On Our Shelves—Ships in 1-5 Days
June 2019 Indie Next List
"Richard Roper's debut is utterly delightful. I was spellbound from the very first page. Andrew's job is a sensitive one: when someone dies at home alone, he is called to literally dig through personal effects — scraps of paper or old holiday cards — and determine if there are any next of kin. Andrew's daily experience with the dearly departed, combined with his model train obsession, dysfunctional office mates, and an estranged sister, result in a compelling read. Funny, smart, and sad, Roper's How Not to Die Alone is just wonderful."
— Rachel Watkins, Avid Bookshop, Athens, GA
Smart, darkly funny, and life-affirming, How Not to Die Alone is the bighearted debut novel we all need, for fans of Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine, it's a story about love, loneliness, and the importance of taking a chance when we feel we have the most to lose.
"Wryly funny and quirkily charming."--Eleanor Brown, author of The Weird Sisters
Sometimes you need to risk everything...to find your something.
Andrew's been feeling stuck.
For years he's worked a thankless public health job, searching for the next of kin of those who die alone. Luckily, he goes home to a loving family every night. At least, that's what his coworkers believe.
Then he meets Peggy.
A misunderstanding has left Andrew trapped in his own white lie and his lonely apartment. When new employee Peggy breezes into the office like a breath of fresh air, she makes Andrew feel truly alive for the first time in decades.
Could there be more to life than this?
But telling Peggy the truth could mean losing everything. For twenty years, Andrew has worked to keep his heart safe, forgetting one important thing: how to live. Maybe it's time for him to start.
Richard Roper is a nonfiction editor at Headline, where he works with authors such as James Acaster, Joel Dommett, Andrew O'Neill, and Frank Turner. How Not to Die Alone is inspired by an article he read about people whose job it is to follow up after people die alone. It is his debut novel.

Here are the steps in making fiberglass statues.
In making your own fiberglass statue, the first thing we need to perform is to gather up concept and a reference picture of any particular piece from different angles. Most artists want to have an authentic and accurate result. Basically, on a picture that shows only a single side; it only gives a 2 dimensional look to it, while having multi angle picture will let you have full vision on all sides. This would allow you to replicate your model completely.
After getting copied, we can now get the correct proportions. Try to get it as realistic as possible to help you get the right shape, thus avoiding material wastage.
Use the fiberglass cloth for getting the initial shape. If the statue needs to be cut in detail, we can work using thin wire-meshes that are bent into the right shape.
Once we have the basic large mass of foam correctly proportioned, cut as many pieces as needed to complete and block out the rest of the basic shape. Make sure to have more foam in the right places, so when cutting and shaping the foam, we don't need to add more to fulfill the ruined part.
Cut the pieces of fiberglass to size. Cut the pieces into smaller ones using the scissors to fit smoothly around any curves on our sculpture. After the form has been blocked out, use the stiff wire, knife, or the sheering blade and trim the insider part of it carefully while trying it on. Make sure it will fit securely where it is not too loose or too tight. After the inside fits, the outside part should be shaped evenly. Doing this could result in awkward interior fitting. Mix the resin and hardener according to the manual. Make sure to mix in a well-ventilated location to avoid respiratory problems.
Saw off large chunks of fiberglass that is not necessarily needed. Glide the knife across the fiberglass. And then add particles of foam off until the shape is leveled. Dip the fiberglass cloth into the resin mixture. Then place the cloth on the statue on the right position. Eliminate the bubbles then continue to wet and place the pieces of the cloth until the form is covered.
The main objective of sanding is to smooth out the piece, as the knife should have formed the shape correctly. If we use a sander, make sure that we move the sander in a circular motion for best results. If it stayed on a single area for a long time, a flat spot or cavity may become a problem.
Also, the material will melt from the friction between the sander and the fiberglass. Manual sanding is recommended for having a perfect sanding.

The IndyMac Settlement and an Unusual Supreme Court Order
September 23, 2014, 11:41 pm 1k Views
Alison Frankel writes in the Reuters Blog about the unusual order made by the US Supreme Court in the IndyMac class action after the $340 million settlement announced recently.
The U.S. Supreme Court handed down an unusual order Tuesday, directing the lawyers in a case called Public Employees' Retirement System of Mississippi v. IndyMac to file letter briefs explaining whether a newly proposed settlement of the underlying mortgage-backed-securities class action affects the question presented to the Supreme Court. That sure caught my attention.
The IndyMac case, scheduled to be argued on Oct. 6, is the most consequential case of the term for securities lawyers. It's not potentially catastrophic, like last term's Halliburton v. Erica P. John Fund, but it does impact big institutional investors that sometimes prefer to opt out of securities class actions and bring their own suits. Will the IndyMac settlement strip those investors of their chance to challenge an opinion by the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that sets an inviolable three-year limit on their individual claims?
I don't think so. It's true that on Monday, Berman DeValerio, lead counsel in the underlying IndyMac class action in federal court in Manhattan, notified U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan that plaintiffs have reached a $340 million settlement agreement with the underwriter defendants in the case. But because of the complicated procedural history of the class action, the settlement doesn't resolve all claims by the Mississippi pension fund that appealed the 2nd Circuit's ruling to the Supreme Court. In fact, according to the settlement brief, "none of the securities at issue on the appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court were underwritten by the settling defendants."
The settlement also leaves alive possible causes of action against Goldman Sachs, which was dismissed as a defendant in the class action and didn't participate in the proposed settlement.

The fact that 2015 was a pretty amazing year for catalog releases was pretty indisputable. It is kind of sad that so much great stuff is becoming available even as the physical format seems to be pretty well on the decline. Regardless, I do hope discs will stick around for a while longer so we can see more wonderful and oft forgotten films like these get the Blu-ray treatment which seems to breathe new life into them and find them scores of new fans. One way I love to promote all these catalog releases and excellent boutique labels that put them out is through the podcast I co-host called OFF THE SHELF. If you haven't been listening, it is a weekly show wherein in my friend Ryan Gallagher and I discuss home video news and new releases on Blu-ray and DVD. I do recommend you check it out if you are a geek for this stuff like we are.
Thank You Rupert for that list. It is very inspiring.

Q: How can I dynamically create views in Postgres 10 using variables? I know how to do this in MySQL and MSSQL but I'm struggling to do the same in Postgres 10.12.  I have about 200 views to create and the only difference in each one of them is the schema location and the where clause.
For example:
create or replace view SCHEMA1.myview as
    select * from SHAREDSCHEMA.sometable where MYCOL = 'ABC';

So what I need to do is create that view around 200 times with each iteration being:
SCHEMA1.myview
SCHEMA2.myview
SCHEMA3.myview
etc...

MYCOL = 'ABC'
MYCOL = 'EFG'
MYCOL = 'HIJ'
etc...

Hope that makes sense.  Again, the only difference between each iteration is the schema name changes and the where clause changes.
I could probably write some Python script or something to generate the code but I'd rather do it in Postgres if possible.
I know this isn't valid code, but essentially this is what I am trying to do:
do $$
declare
    myschema varchar(10) := 'SCHEMA1';
    mywhere varchar(3) := 'ABC';
begin
    create or replace view @myschema@.myview as
        select * from SHAREDSCHEMA.sometable where MYCOL = @mywhere@;
end $$;

Then each time I run that, I simply change @myschema and @mywhere.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

A: You need dynamic SQL for this:
do $$
declare
    myschema varchar(10) := 'SCHEMA1';
    mywhere varchar(3) := 'ABC';
begin
    execute format('
        create or replace view %I.myview as
        select * from SHAREDSCHEMA.sometable where MYCOL = %L', myschema, mywhere);
end $$;

The format() function is highly recommended when creating dynamic SQL to properly deal with identifiers and constant values.
You can also put this into a function (or procedure in newer versions):
create function create_view(p_schema text, p_value text)
   returns void
as
$$
begin
  execute format('
      create or replace view %I.myview as
      select * from SHAREDSCHEMA.sometable where MYCOL = %L', p_schema, p_value);
end
$$
language plpgsql;

Then you can run:
select create_view('myschema', 'xyz');

If you want, you can use that to create all views in one go:
with data (schema_name, value) as
  values
     ('schema1', 'abc'),
     ('schema2', 'def'),
     ('schema3', 'ghi')
)
select create_view(schema_name, value)
from data;

United Kingdom: Exposing the Sujiatun Horrors on the Streets of Edinburgh
By a Clear Harmony reporter
On Sunday 19th March, Falun Gong practitioners in Edinburgh held an event to expose and condemn the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) after the recent discovery of the appalling secret Sujiatun death camp, in Shenyang City, Liaoning Province, China.
A Chinese journalist working for a Japanese news agency disclosed his knowledge of this death camp to international newspaper The Epoch Times. He claimed that since 2001, the camp, attached to a hospital in Shenyang, has held up to 6,000 Falun Gong practitioners who refuse to denounce their belief. These people, whose basic human rights have been completely stripped away, are having their organs harvested, whilst still alive, and sold for medical transplants for huge prices. The practitioners' dead bodies are then incinerated on site to hide the evidence.
The journalist stated that he thought that up to 4,000 Falun Gong practitioners had been abused in this way. To add to the tragedy and horror, the practitioners' families are unaware of what has happened to their loved ones, as the practitioners have been taken there in secret and no one has been seen coming in or going out.
People stopped to find out more about Falun Gong and the persecution against the practice in China
The Edinburgh practitioners gave out leaflets specifically about the Sujiatun death camp and spoke to many passers-by. People stopped to read the information boards about Sujiatun. Many people also signed a petition to the UK government to urge them to investigate these atrocities. A practitioner talked about the horrors of the death camp on a PA system.
Although the public has been shocked about the persecution in the past, the reaction from people to this latest incident was that they found the deeds committed in the camp truly abhorrent. This event coincided with 9 million people quitting the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). As the Chinese people continue find out the true horrors the CCP has committed and that their futures are in jeopardy by being aligned with it, 20 to 30,000 per day are leaving the party.

Ideen und Vorschläge Eurerseits? Wir freuen uns drauf!
Soundtrap (e-mail : soundtrap68@yahoo.gr) were formed in 2003 by George Arestis. Their main purpose is to give a trip through psychedelic / space instrumental music to listeners.
They recorded their first, four track, demo CD "Soundtrap" in June'05. In July '06 they released the "Words Mean Nothing" CD with seven tracks and 51:59 total playing time.
Just found this site and i was wondering whether I could participate in the reggae fest.
I've been operating a sound system for a while (check sites) and the base is in Rethymno.
Link us up if you are interested.


Hi Wendy – excellent tips. I agree there are people who manage to make it to senior positions with inter-personal skills defficiencies but are valued for other reasons. Perhaps they are functional specialists who need to interact less frequently with others. I agree staying neutral is key!

Forsyth homeschool robotics team invents way for teaching beginners braille
Garrett Barker shows off the internal workings of Insta-Braille, a device he and his fellow Forsyth County homeschoolers, helped design to enable blind students to read. They were invited to the 2015 First Championship in St. Louis next month. - photo by Micah Green
FORSYTH COUNTY — It's so simple, they said. A redesigned songbook with tiny, raised dots in patterns of the alphabet in braille.
It's as easy as pressing a button and listening to the songbook say the letter on each button that matches its corresponding braille symbol.
So simple, you would think it already existed.
Six middle school-aged kids formed a robotics club, and their invention — a device to teach beginning braille to the blind — recently landed them an invitation to the 2015 First Championship in St. Louis next month.
The championship is a culmination of First Lego League teams across the world that complete projects and build robots as a way to engage children ages 9-14 in science and technology.
The Braille Boys and Annie, as they named themselves, will join 19 other teams chosen out of 527 entries from 22 countries. A final three will be selected to attend a special awards ceremony in Washington, D.C. in June.
Plus, every member from the top three teams gets a robot.
"We had to do a project to come up with a solution of how we can improve the way someone learns something," said Dusty Haney, a seventh-grader on the team. "We decided we wanted to learn about braille."
He said they learned from the National Federation of the Blind that 90 percent of blind children in the United States today are not taught to read. This leads to 50 percent of them never graduating high school and 70 percent remaining unemployed.
That was the inspiration for Insta-Braille. The simple invention is currently patent-pending and has been used with blind children.
Stacy Carto, a mother of one of the teammates, said the STARS program — an Atlanta campus that teaches school-aged kids life skills to live with vision loss — is using the Insta-Braille prototype.
"The wonderful thing about Insta-Braille is that an individual can learn beginning braille without the assistance of a sighted person or a braille teacher," Carto said.
Teammates are all homeschooled in Forsyth. They are: Haney; Henry Lyle, eighth grade; Garrett Barker, seventh grade; Christian Carto, fifth grade; Daniel Torre, seventh grade; and Annie Torre, sixth grade.
Annie joined the team after the name had been set, she said, so adding "& Annie" to the end made sense.
They figured out how to take the skeleton of a children's songbook and connect the sound module to a voice recording of each letter of the alphabet.
They then put letter buttons with the corresponding braille character on the top so that a visually impaired person can simply feel the braille symbol, press the button and hear the letter.
They are working on Insta-Braille 2.0, which will have a switching mechanism that teaches numbers and beginning contractions.
During competitions, they presented in three categories: robot programming, core values and an innovative project solution.
Insta-Braille is their project. Louie B is their robot, who they have to program to follow a set path and perform certain tasks, like throwing a ball into a goal.
Then they present the core values they learned throughout the process, which include team building, "gracious professionalism" and learning to let things go. Which makes them break out into song to recreate "Let It Go" from "Frozen."
Daniel Torre said they want to donate many of these devices to the blind community and get one in every school.
The team met professionals within the blind community to develop and market Insta-Braille, including visits to the National Federation of the Blind and the Center of the Visually Impaired.
They also plan to hld an FLL Robotic camp in April for kids interested in robotics to raise funds for their team expenses. For more information, email fllteam4678@gmail.com.

The Crossley Engine In Binissalem
We sometimes find it hard to perceive that some technological achievements have not always been with us. Take refrigeration as an example, telephones or, simply, electricity.
I do not know when electricity first came to Mallorca but, I do know that at the beginning of the 20th century, electricity and lighting were produced on this island privately and on a local basis. Take a place like Binissalem, for instance. Here, an engine manufactured in Manchester by the Crossley Brothers Ltd. Company was purchased by the Can Pedro Ferrer factory, purveyors of electricity for the benefit of this pueblo in the early 1910s. I am not quite sure but, I think we have a gas fuelled atmospheric internal combustion engine here. Crossley of course is better known for their engines for Leyland buses as of 1905 and for their contribution to manufacturing with the introduction of the production line. It is said that the Crossley system even influenced Henry Ford. In 1904, Crossley started producing automobiles and, later, aviation engines. Two Crossley engined light-trucks went on the so-called Court Treatt expedition, the first to drive a motor vehicle from Cape Town, South Africa, to Cairo in Egypt. The party of six people set off in September, 1924, and reached Cairo sixteen months later in January, 1926, having covered 12,732 miles (20,500 km). Car production at Crossley's came to a halt in 1937. The aircraft motor facility eventually ended up producing aviation engines for the Rolls-Royce Industrial Power Group until 1995.
The engine in Binissalem was busy producing electricity until the late 1950s. By then, electricity in Mallorca was manufactured by the coal-fired power station in Alcúdia and supplied island-wide. The Crossley engine was hence donated to the Ajuntament in Binissalem, who duly restored it in 2002 and put it on permanent exhibit, albeit rather well hidden, in Binissalem's Parc de sa Rectoria. So, there.
The photo was taken in Binissalem, Mallorca, Baleares, Spain. The date: June 23rd, 2011. The time was 14:02:21.
Roberto Rueda says:
The Crossley Brothers' engine of Binissalem was restored by myself as President of the model engineering society "CLUB FERROVIARI VAPORISTA DE MALLORCA)
http://www.cfvm.es
It was a hard work done with very little help and with no benefit or pay to our Club at all.
The only reason was no to let that beautiful piece to be scrapped or lost for ever.
We wanted to leave it in motion, not working with gas, but at least moved by a hidden electric engine, as in some British Museums, giving then a nice view of a big motor in motion, but without the problems and expenses of a real firing.
Our aim was also to do it even better, but no way with just a few tenners….. anyway, it was a decent job, I would say.
We also restored another similar Crossley engine at the Mallorca village of Esporles, where it is now placed at the entrance of the town hall.
We have more future ideas to preserve other machines and our speciality: railway units. We hope to do that when the crisis ends and the authorities are ready to colaborate with more interest.

-: Words and Meanings :-
Words:Home Intro
This is a dictionary, or word-book. It is also a reccomendation on a new vocabulary for the higher dimensional geometries. Some comment is in order into the processing and formation of words.
Writing a Dictionary
Depending on one's fluency in the subject matter, one can sit down and write a fairly large glossary off the top of one's head. This is how the polygloss started life: one boxing-day, i sat down and churned out a sizable document of pages.
On reviewing of this glossing-fury, one sits down and looks through the work and say, 'this is missing' or 'that is missing'. Depending on the media, one may add the missing bits.
Eventually, it gets rather large and somewhat needing of reorganisation. By the time one gets around to it, it has become both large and useful. So it's not pretty much a case of tossing out the whole work.
The process takes years. This is much longer than the lifetime of many programs, and one starts to look for stable, long-term document forms. There are parts of the metegloss written in MultiMate III. None the same, the pages represent many hours of work, and they were largely reimported into ASCII web-pages.
Much attention has to be given to portability and local ease of use. KML was defined and written, largely as a way of creating a richer markup language, and extensible to boot. The reason for this, is that one can create special meanings for the markup, and then have the markup represent this how it should.
For example, we have a markup for a word-stem {stem word} gives [word]. This appears however the current implementation of {stem } base is. So if i decide to change how stems appear, it's pretty much a change of program for what stem is associated with.
Much of the work was done with an overloaded vocabulary on deep context. So one could talk about a 4D octahedron, or a octahedral product or a wide range of other things.
While such uses might be alright for a single user, it becomes rather hard to suggest this to the casual reader. So when i started to talk to other people in the field, i needed to invent a huge vocabulary. The polygloss holds some of it.
A dictionary is more like a butter-fly collection. One collects large numbers of words, and pins them to the pages. A vocabulary is a dynamic thing, readily changing, and having means to make words. We can partly show this by defining stems.
Take for example, horopetix. This is not a glossed word, but its meaning is understood from its two stems [horo-] zero-curvature + [petix] five-dimensional manifold. So what we have is a particular word describing the space E5 (5D euclidean geometry).
We can't rely on our experience
The existing vocabulary contains words that have multiple submeanings. When we try to take these meanings into higher dimensions, the diverse meanings are differently satisfied.
A line both unites, eg bus-line, railway line, and divides, eg dead-line, line in the sand, front line. In four dimensions, a line can only unite. We can readily wend our way around a road in 4D, because a road does not divide space.
Many words divide meanings, and so it is best to define stems with a specific meaning, and use it strictly like that.
The Multidimensional Glossary
George Olshevsky has a Glossary on his site. This glossary is a fairly accurate reflection of the terminology one finds in the more recent mathematical works, with a few extra words tossed in.
The work extends to a good deal of Jonathan Bower's work, which is on his hedrondude site. Jonathan did a lot of work enumerating the starry archimedean polychora. In a work like this, the mathematical names are extremely clumbsy, and a good deal of shortening of names, and inventing of concepts have gone on.
George and Jonathan worked on the extended vocabulary, which has been included in George's dictionary.
Their paritcular work is quite well executed, and full of cross-links to other pages. It's a fairly large site, not suited to dialup access, (which is why i made a local cache of it!). But whatever the eloquence and professionalism of describing a vocabulary-tarpit, does not make the tar-pit any more graceful.
The implementation of the current terminology in the mathematics, is a tar pit where words become stuck. One needs consider the series on the hyper- prefix, and how it got stuck in four dimensions, and looks rather silly when referred to in six dimensions! Four dimensions has no other name, so it got stuck there!
Multimate III: In the dim dark days of pre-windows computing, dear old Muttly was rated in the magazines as the last of the 29 available DOS word-processors. It was widely used in the real estate industry, and in the Government, probably because of this reason!
None the same, importing MM documents into something else, like AmiPro, or WhingeWart, were none the less a frightning experience.

Our Israeli emissaries (shlichim) work to create and strengthen relationships between Cincinnati and Israel. They educate both the Jewish and non-Jewish communities about Israel and also advocate for Israel's right to exist. They engage with our local agencies, congregations, day schools, camps, and the Mayerson JCC to create programs and activities that connect us with Israel.
Noga Maliniak (a former Cincinnati shlicha) is now our community's representative in Israel. With Noga's deep understanding of Israel's social, cultural, and religious landscape and her extensive knowledge of our community, she plays a critical role in connecting the Cincinnati community with Israel through special delegations, funding opportunities, and by expanding business-to-business connections.
Each September we welcome two new Friends from Israel, who live in our community for a full year of service. The Friends from Israel / Chaverim M'Israel program, brings two post-high school teenagers from our partnership city, Netanya, to Cincinnati to share themselves, and what they know about Israeli life, with people across the Cincinnati area. Each year, the two chaverim meet about 5,000 kids, teens, and families. They teach in both Jewish and non-Jewish schools and organizations across Greater Cincinnati. In the summer, they are counselors at Camp Livingston. Director of Youth Israel Experiences Sharon Spiegel says, "Thanks to the Chaverim M'Israel, each of the people they meet have a better understanding of Israel." This program is a component of the Jewish Agency for Israel's Partnership2Gether (P2G) program.
Contact Sharon Spiegel at sspiegel@jfedcin.org or 513-985-1536 to schedule a visit from the Chaverim.
Adi is 18 years old and from Netanya. She likes to dive, read, and hang out with her friends. She is interested in history, politics, physics, movies, and video editing. She has two siblings, Ori (15) and Michal (7). Her majors in school were physics and Arabic. She's not sure yet where she will serve in the IDF, but she's looking forward to a meaningful service. For now, she hopes to bring her Israel to Cincinnati, and by doing that, learn as well.
Asaf grew up in Tel Mond. In school, he studied geo-globalisation and theatre. He has studied at the Agency Association for Holocaust Survivors in New York City and has volunteered with a boarding school for troubled children. He is very close to his family, which includes his parents, his twin brother Dan, who is also a ShinShin, and his older sister. Asaf is looking forward to giving himself to the army next year and is eager to both teach and learn from the Cincinnati community this year.
The Cincinnati Fellow in Israel (Cincy Fellow) spends a year in Netanya, Israel teaching Israelis about life, culture, and Judaism in the United States. While many cities, including Cincinnati, welcome emissaries from Israel to the United States, the Cincy Fellow program is the first of its kind, where an American Federation has done the reverse. The Cincy Fellow is a Partnership2Gether (P2G) program of the Jewish Federation of Cincinnati.
Shelly studied Music Therapy at the University of the Pacific in LA and is a board certified music therapist. She moved to Cincinnati shortly afterward to take a position as a service learning coordinator at Melodic Connections in Silverton, an organization that helps people with disabilities and youth who have experienced trauma through music. While she has lived in several different cities (large and small) across the country, Shelly says Cincinnati is unlike any other Jewish community.
This program is a partnership between the Jewish Agency for Israel and Hillel International. It places outstanding young Israelis on key college campuses for a two-year period of educational service, in order to create an ongoing Israel presence for Jewish students and the broader community. Campus Israel Fellows partner with student organizations, campus study abroad offices, Jewish and Israel studies departments, local Jewish federations, Israeli consulates, and Jewish Community Centers.
They also follow through with Taglit-Birthright trip alumni via one-on-one meetings and special programs and events to keep them active and encourage them to continue their Jewish journeys while in college.
Campus Israel Fellows serve as Israel's unofficial peer ambassadors on campus and in the local community, providing opportunities for students to discuss and experience every aspect of Israeli life, bridging the gap between Israel fact and fiction, and inspiring students to forge enduring commitments to Israel. In many instances, the Campus Israel Fellow is the first Israeli college students and professors have ever met!
The Jewish Federation of Cincinnati allocates 30 percent of dollars raised to support Jews overseas. Of that allocation, 75 percent goes to benefit programs of the Jewish Agency for Israel, including the Israel Fellows to Hillel Program.
Originally from Bney Yehuda, a small settlement in the Golan Heights, Weissblueth is currently the Israel fellow at Cincinnati Hillel. She plans Israeli educational and cultural programs for the university students. She also assists students who participate in Israel experiences such as Birthright, internships or study abroad programs in Israel. Weissblueth has a BS in Marine Biotechnology from Ruppin Academy Center and teaches gymnastics to kids of all ages.
Weissblueth can be reached at weissblueth@hillelcincinnati.org.
Lior is currently the Israel fellow for Hillel at Miami University, coming from a town called Shlomi in northern Israel. Her role is to help the entire campus as well as the Oxford community become more familiar with the land, culture, and people of Israel. While working with Jewish and non-Jewish students, she helps them create and execute different cultural and educational programs on campus. Lior has an MA in Political Science from Hebrew University in Jerusalem.
Lior can be reached at liorb@muhillel.org.


Although I was married in 1959 it wasn't until 1971 that my circumstances caused me to recognize that I was in serious trouble. So much so, that it forced me to recognize that I needed to do some deep soul-searching and challenge myself.
I was staring at a disaster; caused by conducting my marriage from my perspective. All the time, God was patiently waiting for circumstances to drive me to a place where I would turn to Him for direction.
The time had come for my Christianity to become more than mere words and theological habits. I needed to search out; re-evaluate my life and then pursue God's goals for my life and marriage; which I discovered, meant becoming more and more like Christ to my wife and children. I needed to accept the responsibility (as the spiritual leader in my home) to lead as Christ would. Those are also the ultimate purposes of this book.
To accomplish those purposes, here are Five Challenging Concepts (which are like spiritual seeds for the gardener who wants spiritual growth) all of which I believe God revealed to me and to which I hold myself accountable. These concepts (or spiritual seeds) yielded for me and I believe will yield for every Christian man… the same brand of Christianity the Apostles died for.
These concepts presented me with a challenge, and I'm passing that challenge on. Are we willing to become the Christ-like spiritual leaders in our homes that God requires we be? Not so incidentally, that requires an intense commitment to God. A commitment wherein we will need to determine; are we willing to pay the sacrificial price required to gain the necessary understanding that will enable us to become more and more Christ-like!
God is going to bring every man to a place where he will have to decide; am I willing to accept the challenge of literally illustrating Christ. Exemplifying the ability to respond to all of the events in my life as Christ would?
Let me take this opportunity to mention, it definitely is the intent of this series of books, to present every Christian man with a challenge: The most demanding concepts he may ever face; requiring that he meet some of the strictest opportunities for illustrating Christ in his Christian home (and community) he may ever be confronted with.
SEED #1, answers this question: What needs to happen before a man can prove he understands his own human spirit well enough that he would be qualified to be a Christ-like spiritual leader? Proverb 25:28 requires that a man understand his own human spirit; warning him about the trouble he will encounter if he does not have, "…rule over his own spirit." (KJV) If we do not recognize, nor specifically understand, our own human spirit, how is it even possible that we could build spiritual maturity in ourselves or in those we are supposed to be spiritually responsible for?
SEED #2, answers this question: What is specifically involved in dying to self; how does a man put his own "flesh" to death? II Cor. 7:1 clearly instructs us to, "… cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and filthiness of the spirit." (KJV) Do we know how to recognize our flesh in all of its manifestations? Do we even recognize when and how our flesh manifests itself in our everyday lives? Knowing these things enables a man to understand what is necessary to put his flesh to death, and allows him to acquire greater spiritual strength.
SEED #4, answers this question: What is involved in a man developing the ability to actually illustrate Christ to his wife, every day in his life? We know that Christ was/is, spiritually mature! And, Ephesians 5:23-27 requires that we be like Christ to our wives; Romans 8:29 also requires that we be conformed to the image of God's Son. If we are struggling in our marriages, and the evidence clearly illustrates that there is a lack of harmony and oneness, then Christ-likeness in a husband (the spiritual leader) is missing.
What resources will we draw upon to discover when, where or how we are not Christ-like? What resources will we use to help us discover how to discipline ourselves, so we would more effectively illustrate Christ not only to our wives but to everyone? How about drawing upon the help that God ordained for us? Do you know what that help is?
SEED #5, answers this question: How does a man successfully discern God's intentions and directions in every situation? Can he interpret all of life's physical events, in such a way that he is able to turn them into beneficial spiritual lessons? Thereby, daily, being an example; leading his family into victorious living? Romans 8:28 says, "…all things work together and are [fitting into a plan] for good …" (AMP) What is the evidence that we specifically do understand, what the good is, that God wants to accomplish in everything that take place in our lives, daily?
If we are going to be an illustration of Christ to the world, doesn't it make sense that we would have to learn these Five Concepts (plant these Five Spiritual Seeds in our own spiritual lives) before we could teach them to others?
Doesn't it make sense that we cannot bring stability to the Christian community without personally providing the kind of spiritual leadership (especially in our marriages) that Christ would?
Doesn't it make sense that we cannot bring stability to Christian marriages if we do not understand our own wife's heart/spirit so well that in each situation we face in our marriages, our wives feel as though they've had an encounter with Christ?
Doesn't it make sense that we cannot offer the hope of stability in the homes of other Christian, unless we are the kind of Christ-like example in our own home that brings stability? That, like Christ, we would know our wife's spirit so well that we know what our wives would be thinking in a given situation? We aren't guessing or thinking we know… we know! And, our wives will readily testify that we do indeed, know what their thinking would be in a given situation?
Doesn't it make sense that we would not be able to pass on the necessary knowledge or specific understanding about the human spirit, if we don't thoroughly understand our own human spirits, nor our wife's spirit?
Now, having said all of that, may I propose that the most significant means God has devised; so we could develop spiritual understanding and leadership, is found within the framework of the home… marriage! It is the most challenging institution for building relationships!
Marriage is the first institution that God Himself established. His purpose is, that it is the most significant and demanding resource for training a man to illustrate Christ.
Marriage presents circumstances wherein a man's true nature and character are revealed. Then, as necessary, he can alter his normal-to-man character; that it be conformed to Christ's character. Marriage is also meant to be the most rewarding relationship in the world!
Concerning this role of spiritual leadership and how serious God is about it: read Malachi 2:13-15. (NASB) In it, God explains what His expectations are of spiritual leadership; expectations that require a high degree of spiritual awareness, along with a complete ability to understand our own spirit and the spirits of our wives. Then, we can successfully provide Christ-like care for our wives and others.

Have you heard of the Francis Crick Institute? Do you know where it is? I'd heard of it but I had NO IDEA how important it is. How incredible it is. How very very special and essential to the past, present and future of science it is… Oh, and it's right outside Kings Cross Station. And to anyone who is not involved in or who actively takes an interest in Science, this is most probably BRAND NEW INFORMATION.

Keltiberiërs  is een verzamelnaam voor de Keltische stammen die zich op het Iberisch Schiereiland (Spanje, Portugal) hebben gevestigd. Tussen 650 v. Chr. en 133 v. Chr. waren zij het dominante volk. Hun oorsprong is onderhevig aan discussie.

Volgens de Romeinen behoorden zij tot de Keltische cultuur. Tegenwoordig denkt men daar genuanceerder over. De Keltiberiërs waren voornamelijk een volk van landbouwers. De handelsbetrekkingen die zij onderhielden was voornamelijk gericht op het Iberische schiereiland. Zij kwamen in oorlog met de op expansie gerichte Romeinen die hun als geduchte tegenstanders zagen. In eerste instantie hadden deze moeite met de strijdwijze van de Keltiberiërs die vochten met een zwaard met kort lemmet. Pas nadat de Romeinen hun eigen variant ontwikkelden, de gladius hispaniensis en de standaardzwaard werd van de legioenen kregen zij de overhand. Niettemin waren verschillende oorlogen nodig om de goed beschermde heuvelforten "castros" van de  Keltiberiërs  in handen te krijgen. De belangrijkste stammen waren de Titii, de Lusonen, de Belli en de Arevaci. Met de nederlaag bij Numantia in 133 v. Chr waren de  Keltiberiërs  gepacifieerd. Onder de Romeinen vermengden zij zich met de andere volken van Hispania. De enige sporen die nog resteren zijn eigenaardige Keltische plaatsnamen op het platteland.

De enige gebieden op het Iberisch Schiereiland waar nog Keltische gewoontes zijn, zijn Asturië en Galicië.

At St Mary's, we are very proud to be a Rights Respecting School. This week we have been thinking about the experiences of refugees and, in particular, those children who have had to flee their homes.
We have thought about our own and others' opinions about refugees, held a 'Rights Auction' (where we pretended to be various countries around the world buying different articles from the CRC!), and were also very lucky to have two special visitors in class - an asylum seeker and a refugee resettlement officer. We had lots of excellent questions to ask them and their answers have helped us massively with our project. We have been very busy using iMovies on the iPads to create news reports which communicate positive messages about the current refugee crisis - we are going to share these with the school as they will be embedded (using Aurasma) in our 'Speak Out' wall as part of the corridor display!
Well done Year 6 - you have embraced all aspects of this week with maturity and enthusiasm!

"Guardians of Sunshine" is the sixteenth episode of the second season of the American animated television series Adventure Time. The episode was written and storyboarded by Ako Castuera and Tom Herpich, from a story by Mark Banker, Steve Little, Patrick McHale, Kent Osborne, Thurop van Orman, Pendleton Ward, and Merriwether Williams. It originally aired on February 21, 2011.

The series follows the adventures of Finn (voiced by Jeremy Shada), a human boy, and his best friend and adoptive brother Jake (voiced by John DiMaggio), a dog with magical powers to change shape and grow and shrink at will. In this episode, Finn and Jake must defeat the three bosses of a video game they are transported to from inside BMO.

"Guardians of the Sunshine" was the first episode of Adventure Time to feature three-dimensional animation. The scenes set inside the titular computer game were animated by CalArts and Cartoon Network graduate Ke Jiang. The episode was met with mostly positive critical reception, and was seen by 1.73 million viewers.

Plot
Finn and Jake are playing the Side-scrolling video game Guardians of the Sunshine, and Finn attempts to use a combo move to beat the final boss (a toad named "Sleepy Sam"). He, however, fails and angrily remarks that if he were actually in the game, he could easily beat Sleepy Sam. But BMO explains that actually being in the game is extremely dangerous. However, BMO's warning goes unheeded, and Finn and Jake eventually decide to trick BMO into transporting them into its "Main brain game-frame", which allows them to be realized as characters in Guardians of Sunshine.

The duo attempt to beat all of the game's bosses—Bouncy Bee, Honey Bunny, and Sleepy Sam—but soon realize that their adventuring skills do not transfer in this new digital environment. After Finn and Jake lose several lives,(with Jake jumping in to a fire pit twice and Finn being killed by Bouncy bee and Sleepy Sam) they attempt to break out, accidentally causing the game to glitch. Finn, Jake, as well as Bouncy Bee, Honey Bunny, and Sleepy Sam, are all ejected into the real world, and the three bosses decide to destroy BMO for imprisoning them. Luckily, Finn manages to successfully use the combo move from the beginning of the episode, destroying the monsters.

Production
"Guardians of Sunshine" is the sixteenth episode from the second season of Adventure Time. The episode was written by Ako Castuera and Tom Herpich. A separate group of writers—Mark Banker, Steve Little, Patrick McHale, Kent Osborne, Thurop van Orman, Pendleton Ward, and Merriwether Williams—came up with the idea for the episode, which Castuera and Herpich adapted to a storyboard. The creator of Adventure Time, Ward was the showrunner during this season, although he later resigned from that position during the fifth season.

The episode is the first in the show to use animation not drawn entirely by hand. The scenes set in the game are rendered three-dimensionally, stylized with discernible polygons and a low frame rate reminiscent of stop motion. These were done by Jacky Ke Jiang, a graduate of the California Institute of the Arts. For the production of the characters and the environment in the scenes, Jacky was responsible for producing their models, rigging their meshes, and animating them by himself. In total, the scenes run for almost six minutes.

Release and reception
Cartoon Network originally aired "Guardians of Sunshine" on February 21, 2011. The episode was viewed by 1.73 million viewers and scored a 0.3 Nielsen rating in the 18- to 49-year-old demographic. Nielsen ratings are audience measurement systems that determine the audience size and composition of television programming in the United States, which means that the episode was seen by 0.3 percent of all households aged 18 to 49 years old were watching television at the time of the episode's airing. The network released the episode on DVD, first in 2012, as part of the It Came from the Nightosphere box set, and later in 2013, as part of a box set for the complete second season.

Charlie Jane Anders of io9 itemized the episode in a list of fictional depictions of virtual reality. Ben Bertoli of Kotaku similarly listed it as one of the best episodes related to video games in animation. Anders praised the episode for its humor and described the animation as in the style of third-generation video games, a return to how virtual reality was first depicted in fiction. Matt Fowler of IGN called it a high-quality episode of the second season, while Oliver Sava of The A.V. Club described it as an episode representative of the show as a whole. Jason Holmes of Destructoid wrote positively of John DiMaggio, who voices Jake, and anticipated that the episode could be the best one of the series.

Bertoli praised the animation and found Finn and Jake voluntarily entering the game unique, though according to René A. Guzman of the San Antonio Express-News, who found the episode inspiring of a game based on Adventure Time, it was comparable to Tron. The network later released the first video game based on the show in 2012. Marked by the involvement of Ward, Jeff Schille of Game Rant wrote that this came to no surprise, given "Guardians of Sunshine" and "Dad's Dungeon" from the third season.

Pachydactylus rangei, the Namib sand gecko or Namib web-footed gecko, is a species of small lizard in the family Gekkonidae. It inhabits the arid areas of Angola, Namibia, and South Africa, and was first described in 1908 by Swedish zoologist Lars Gabriel Andersson, who named it after its finder, German geologist Dr. Paul Range.

Description
Pachydactylus rangei grows to a length of about  including a  tail. The head is quite distinct from the slender body and both are flattened dorsally. The eyes are large, dark-coloured and protuberant and have vertical pupils. The web-footed gecko is very pale, nearly translucent. It has a salmon-colored undertone and some have light brown stripes or patterns. The coloring of their skin allows for very good camouflage among the sand of the Namib Desert. The skin is covered in fine, smooth scales and is translucent, and some of the internal organs can be seen through it. The legs are thin but the feet are broad, with fully webbed toes, enabling this gecko to burrow easily and to run on loose sand. The gecko developed the webbed feet as an adaptation to help them stay on top of the Namib Desert sand or bury underneath the sand.  They have developed this adaptation due to being nocturnal and needing to spend the days in burrows which are self dug and then spend the night on top of the sand feeding. Their feet also have adhesive pads on the bottom to help them climb.  The males have thicker tails than the females. The female's mass can reach around 10 grams and the male is about 6 grams. The head and dorsal surface are pinkish-brown with darker markings, particularly in two intermittent lateral lines, and the ventral surface is off-white. There is often a bluish band between the eyes. This species is rather similar in appearance to Ptenopus garrulus, another species of gecko found within its range.

Distribution and habitat
Pachydactylus rangei is endemic to the Namibia Desert where it is found near the coast and up to 130 kilometres (80 miles) inland at altitudes of up to 300 metres (1,000 feet). The Namibia Desert is located in the Southern part of Africa. The type locality is Lüderitz in Namibia. Its habitat is among rocks and stunted vegetation and on the dry loose sand of sand dunes. The geckos prefer the sandy desert regions and are only found on the coastal part of Namibia and the Richtersveld in the extreme north of Namaqualand in the Cape.

Food
In the wild the geckos eat crickets, grasshoppers and small spiders.  They also will eat beetles, and other small insects they can find among the sand. In captivity they will eat crickets and worms. It is suggested to feed them crickets in captivity to keep the geckos active. The gecko's large eyes allows it to see its prey while hunting at night.

Adaptations
The web-footed gecko has developed many adaptations for living in the harsh desert climate.  It has webbed feet, which allow it to burrow in the sand or walk on top of the sand.  It also has adhesive pads on the bottom of its feet which allow it to be an extremely good climber. "The adhesive pads on their toes have rows of plates called lamellae, which are covered with thousands of microscopic hook like projections called villosities. These villosities catch any minor surface irregularity in order to aid the gecko in climbing."

Another adaptation that the web-foot gecko has developed is its eyes. The gecko has oversize eyes which help it to detect prey.  "The geckos like most other geckos do not have eyelids, instead their eyes are covered with a transparent scale, called a spectacle. They clean their eyes by periodic licking."

Biology
Pachydactylus rangei is nocturnal, spending the day in a burrow up to a metre (yard) deep. It emerges at night to feed on arthropods such as termites, ants, beetles, grasshoppers and spiders. Its main source of water is the drops of dew found on vegetation. It can also absorb moisture through its skin. They communicate using a wide range of vocalizations, including squeaks, clicks and even croaks.

Each individual normally lives a solitary life. It may emit certain squeaks and grunts when disturbed or when trying to find a mate. Reproduction takes place in April and May. During copulation, the male grasps the female tightly while gripping her neck with his teeth and bends his tail round under hers. The female lays one or two oval, hard-shelled eggs and buries them in moist sand where they need to incubate at a temperature of about . The young geckos hatch out after about eight weeks and are already  long. They start eating after about four days.

Conservation status and threats
The main threats to the geckos are human activities. People hunt them for food and destroy their habitats. The gecko is considered important for human economics because it is used in the pet trade. Some people keep these geckos in glass terrariums as pets even though they move very fast and do not like to be held. The geckos mouths are also too small to be able to bite humans. They can live up to five years in the wild.  Some laws have been passed to help the geckos, but they are not on any protected species lists, they are considered to be a non vulnerable population.

Boston Warriors Take Two AAU Titles in July
New England Recruiting Report | Saturday, August 8th, 2009
In the last week of July both the Boston Warriors u17 team and their u12 team earned medals at national AAU tournaments. The 17's took the title in the copper bracket of the AU Super Showcase in Orlando, Florida, while just four days earlier the Warriors 12's won the classic bracket at the Division II AAU Nationals.
The u17 Boston Warriors North team headed to the Super Showcase riding a wave of momentum after a strong performance at the Summer Classic East in the first half of the month, which included wins over the New Jersey Playaz and defending champions Juice.
At the Super Showcase, the Warriors dropped the first 2 games in pool play by a total of 5 points, while playing without some of their key players. The team finally got to full strength for the final game of pool play and that's where they began their run against the Gulf Coast Rams.
Finishing 3rd in their pool, the team was placed in the Copper Bracket and matched up with a strong Team Florida opponent in the opening round of bracket play. But behind the outside game of Jasper Grassa and Jeff Tagger and the inside production of Youri Darcy, the Warriors won 78 - 70.
In the round of 16, it was a rematch of quarterfinals at the Providence Jamfest versus the NJ Shoreshots Select. This time Akeem Williams was unstoppable and the Boston Warriors avenged the previous loss by 10 (66-56).
After a sluggish first half in the quarterfinals, James Stukes (Winchendon) and Dan Brooks stepped up their game and took the ball to the basket on a regular basis and the Warriors took out All Ohio Force 64-55.
The semi-finals were a track meet from the opening minute as the Warriors faced the Memphis Stallions and Chris Jones (a top 100 ranked player in the national class of 2011). Grassa and Derek Retos formed a lethal three-point shooting tandem while Stukes continued to drive the ball to the rim to help the Warriors push the lead to double figures on more than one occasion. But the Stallions never gave up and cut the lead to 2 in the final moments. But Alex Kershaw stepped up and made big plays on both ends of the court down the stretch to lead the Warriors to an 89-85 win. Jones led all scorers with 47 points and Grassa led the Warriors with 29 points.
In the finals the Warriors faced the New Jersey Roadrunner and one of the nation's top guards Kyrie Irving. With Coach K and the Duke staff seated at mid court of the Milk House as well as numerous other major college coaches in attendance, the Warriors took control of the game in the early stages with the long range shooting of Retos, Tagger and Grassa while Brooks, Darcy and Stukes controlled the glass.
Throughout the game, the Roadrunners made numerous comeback attempts only to be stifled by the Warriors' depth. Ultimately, the Warriors came away with a 68-60 win and the title in the copper bracket.
The Warriors' 17u North team was comprised of Tagger (Taft), Grassa (Lynn Classical), Retos (Brimmer & May), Dascy (St. Andrews), Joey Vasquez (Snowden), Andrew Gosselin (St. Bernards), Kershaw (Tilton), Brooks (Catholic Memorial), Williams, Stukes, Mike Accaoui & AJ West (Winchendon).

Panthers come up just short on road against Hurricanes
foxsports Jan 18, 2014 at 10:01p ET
Florida Panthers' Krys Barch (21) looks for the rebound off Carolina Hurricanes goalie Anton Khudobin (31) of Kazakhstan, during the first period.
Karl B DeBlaker/AP
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — It looks as if Alexander Semin got the message.
Semin scored two goals in the third period to lift the Carolina Hurricanes to a 3-2 victory over the Florida Panthers on Saturday night.
It was Semin's first two-goal game with Carolina, which signed the Russian forward in July 2012, and then gave him a $35 million, five-year extension last March. His seventh and eighth goals of the season came a day after general manager Jim Rutherford told a local TV station that he was disappointed in Semin's production.
"He's one of the best talents in the world, and when he plays hard, he's one of my favorite players to watch," teammate Riley Nash said. "It's a real treat to watch him, especially the way he played tonight."
Semin has been criticized for not playing hard at times, but he had eight shots against Florida and finished with a plus-two rating.
Semin rarely speaks with the media and declined to talk once again after the victory over the Panthers.
Hurricanes 3, Panthers 2
The teams were tied at one until Semin took control of a faceoff win by Eric Staal and shot past Tim Thomas at 2:31 of the third. He then scored Carolina's league-leading ninth short-handed goal on a breakaway at 8:57, also on an assist from Staal.
The Hurricanes ended a two-game skid and improved to 6-2 in their last eight.
The Panthers got a goal from Dmitry Kulikov with 5:39 remaining but Anton Khudobin held on from there, finishing with 37 saves in the win.
Florida went 0 for 5 on the power play while falling to 7-29-4 at Carolina's arena.
Nash broke a seven-period scoring drought for the Hurricanes at 3:37 of the second. Radek Dvorak speared the puck when it appeared headed out of the offensive zone and fired toward the net. Nash kicked it to his stick and scored past Thomas.
Marcel Goc scored his ninth of the season for Florida at 15:05 of the second, tying it at 1. Jonathan Huberdeau and Tomas Kopecky assisted.
"It's 1-1 in the third, and we have to get points in those games," Florida coach Peter Horachek said. "We created chances to score that we've got to bear down on."
Khudobin improved to 7-2 this season. Thomas had 36 saves for Florida.
The Hurricanes put pressure on Thomas midway through the first period, but the veteran turned away eight shots in four minutes after penalties to Huberdeau at 6:22 and Ed Jovanovski at 8:27.
Florida continued to be hindered by its punchless power play. The Panthers failed to convert on 10 power-play minutes Saturday and are 0 for 32 on the man advantage since Dec. 28.
The Panthers failed to score in the second after Kopecky drew a double-minor on Dvorak. During the man advantage, Tomas Fleischmann fanned on one solid scoring chance and Kulikov hit the left post.
NOTES: Carolina was shut out by Columbus and Calgary in its previous two games. The Hurricanes last suffered consecutive shutouts in November 2011, losing 4-0 at Montreal and 1-0 at home against Buffalo. … The Panthers fell to 8-13-3 on the road. … Jimmy Hayes, Mike Mottau and Scott Gomez were scratches for Florida; the Hurricanes held out Ryan Murphy, Drayson Bowman and Brett Bellemore. … Since winning five in a row in mid-December, Florida is 4-6-2. … The announced attendance was 15,476.

In the beginning when God created the heavens and earth, the earth was a formless void and darkness covered the face of the deep, while a wind from God swept over the face of the waters.
While I was in seminary I spent one of my summers helping Bryson City UMC in Bryson City, North Carolina. Bryson City is surround by the Great Smokey Mountains and is easily one of the most beautiful places I've ever been in my entire life. It was an incredible experience that directly shaped the way I do ministry today.
During my time at the church I was invited to participate in a weekly lectionary group with local clergy. Every Monday morning the pastors and priests of Bryson City would get together to talk about the scripture readings for the following Sunday. We met at the large Baptist Church, ordered breakfast to be delivered, and then we would take turns reading from the bible and shared what we thought we would preach about on Sunday.
Week after week I heard from clergy of all different denominations (Presbyterian, Baptists, Catholic, Methodist, etc.) as they wrestled with God's Word and how to proclaim it from very different pulpits to very different people.
When I finished, as was our custom, we waited for individuals to speak up about what they planned to do with the test during worship. Silence filled the room. So I decided to ask the obvious question, "I anyone planning to preach on Genesis 1?" The silence remained. I remember thinking to myself, "How strange is this? We're talking about the first lines of scripture in the bible and no one is preaching on it in Bryson City this week." It was obvious that most of the clergy wanted to move on to a different reading, but I felt compelled to ask another question: "Have any of you every preaching on Genesis 1?" One by one they confirmed my suspicion; not one of those pastors, priests, ministers, or preachers had ever proclaimed a sermon on the beginning of creation.
While they moved on to a different reading and a different conversation, I silently began calculating from my chair: In that room we had over 100 years of preaching represented. Over 100 years of preaching, more than 5,200 sermons, and not one of them had ever preached from Genesis 1.
Why do we ignore Genesis 1? What is it about the text that makes us afraid to bring it up in worship or in bible study?
On some level I think it is good to be afraid of God's Word; that fear reminds us that God is God and we are not. But Genesis 1 is not something to be ignored or forgotten.
Of all the writing I've read on Genesis 1, it is Karl Barth's exegesis of the text that gives me hope for its return to the pulpits and congregations of our churches.
Writing and reflecting from this vantage point gives Barth the ability to freely respond to the words contained in Genesis 1 with a freshness that is often lost in the church today; his exegesis of Genesis 1 is a worthy read for clergy and laity alike.
In §41.2 "Creation As The External Basis Of The Covenant" (III.1 The Doctrine of Creation in Church Dogmatics) Barth begins his exegesis with the very first words of God from the Word of God.
The first word in the Hebrew Bible is bereshith, which roughly translates to "start" or "beginning." In English we render this as "In the beginning…" but for Barth the distinction is important. To begin with "beginning" tells us "that this history, and with it the existence and being of the world, had a beginning, i.e., that unlike God Himself it was not without a beginning, but that with this beginning it also looks to an end." There is no other word that can quite compare with the one that inaugurates God's holy scripture. From the beginning of all things God created a beginning to have an end. The Lord did not create the world like a watchmaker and then step back to see how it would run. God was intimately involved in the creative act knowing full and well that there was a necessary end, or conclusion, to the creative act. Unlike an author who begins a story without knowing how it will come to close, God created from beginning with an ending.
For years I've read the creation account from Genesis 1 and thought of it just like that: an account of creation. The words were there on the page, though they hardly jumped out at me. Like those pastors in Bryson City, Genesis 1 is one of those chapters in the bible that I have not so subtly avoided because of the difficulty of rationalizing it with modern science. And yet Barth writes about the first two verses of scripture with such conviction that it challenges me to re-engage with the text and see the beauty of what God did, and is doing.
Verse 2 (the earth was a formless void…) has been similarly read with haste and overlooked for the richness it holds. Everything else, which is to say everything neutral or against God's will, ceased to exist when time began with God's action and accomplishment. The whole of creation was worked into being and order by God in time. In God's freedom to create was the earth brought into meaning through God's action and through God's word to create.
The challenge of verse 2 has vexed theologians and Christians alike for centuries regarding the chaos, whether or not God created it, and if God willed a reality of chaos into existence. This, I think, has factored into the disappearance of Genesis 1 from pulpits because we are unsure of how to speak about evil in the world, and whether or not God ordained it.
The question of God's role in the creative act resulting in, or presupposing evil, is usually limited to two answers: God either did create the darkness and evil, or God did not.
Barth totally rejects this dualistic presumption.
For Barth the question over evil and whether or not the violent and chaotic state of the world is self-originated or willed by God pales in comparison to the fact the earth was in a hopeless situation of utter darkness and God chose to transform reality through the Word. Verse 2 therefore posits a world in which the Word of God had not been uttered. The "nothingness" of creation is utterly destroyed and rendered impossible by the possibility of God in the creative act.
The ugliness of the existence prior to the Word of God did exist almost like a shadow of the actual creative act of God. And because it was like a shadow, in the freedom of humanity we can look back and return to that past and bring forth the shadow of verse 2. In so doing, by rejecting the Word of God, the past defies its own nature and becomes present and future. However, God totally and utterly rejected and rejects the shadow and speaks forth the Word to shine in the darkness.
In the death of Jesus Christ, in the shadow of the cross, humanity encounters the true and total darkness prior to God's Word. But it is through Jesus Christ (as the Word) that God will reconcile creation to God's self. In the one incarnate creature, at that particular moment and time in the cosmos, the Word will again become the Light over all creation. The brilliance of the empty tomb shines like the first light hovering over the darkness in Genesis 1.2.
The "old things" of creation prior to the Word have radically passed away in a dynamic and divine act of the Lord speaking the Word and through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
The first two verses of scriptures contain the fullness of all God's scripture. In beginning we see the ending. In the darkness we see the cross. In the light we see the empty tomb and resurrection. What Barth does with scripture is like what a Jazz musician does with the form of a tune; Barth improvises over the lines and draws connections to melodies that we have scarcely imagined.
