St. Gobnait and the Place of Her Resurrection (new poem video) ~ A Love Note from Your Online Abbess
St. Gobnait and the Place of Her Resurrection
On the tiny limestone island
an angel buzzes to Gobnait
in a dream, disrupts her plans,
sends her in search of nine white deer.
She wanders for miles across
sea and land until at last
they appear and rather than
running toward them
she falls gently to wet ground,
sits in silence as light crawls across sky,
lets their long legs approach
and their soft, curious noses surround her.
Breathing slowly, she slides back
onto grass and clover and knows
nothing surpasses this moment,
a heaven of hooves and dew.
Is there a place for each of us,
where we no longer yearn to be elsewhere?
Where our work is to simply soften,
wait, and pay close attention?
She smiles as bees gather eagerly
around her too, wings humming softly
as they collect essence of wildflowers,
transmuting labor into gold.
When I moved to Ireland I was familiar with some of the saints like Brigid, Patrick, and Kevin. One of the true delights of living here is being introduced to the many holy figures who lived on this land, who sought the sacred, and worked to serve others.
One of the saints who has most captured my imagination is St. Gobnait. I have been to the two holy sites dedicated to her, one is a tiny stone chapel on the island of Inisheer where she first lived as a hermit. Then later she was called by a dream to seek the place of the nine white deer and create a monastery there. This place is in Ballyvourney, County Cork and is another beautiful site with a huge statues of Gobnait, old stone church buildings, a grave purported to be of her remains, and a holy well. Her story brings together some of what I love about the Celtic tradition – the way that dreams are honored as a sign from God, a call to something new, and the way that animals are considered to be signs of the sacred presence – dreams, signs, symbols, nature, animals all play a significant role in how the early Celtic monks discerned their callings. Gobnait is also the patron saint of bees, another lovely connection as honey has strong healing properties and evokes the sweetness of life.
Soon after I wrote the poem above, I came to know of a wonderful musician named Simon de Voil, who is originally from Scotland and spent time on Iona, and now lives in Port Townsend, WA, not too far from where I lived in Seattle. I fell in love with many of his songs – versions of Deep Peace (based on an old Celtic blessing), Be Still (that amazing psalm), and the Prayer of St. Francis. I shared with him some of my poems to see if he might be inspired to write a song based on one of them. It was a new experiment for me in collaboration with a musician. He was inspired by Gobnait's story as well, felt a strong kinship to the deer which called to her, and ended up writing a song based on my poem.
I love this song because it takes me on an inward journey through the poem's story in a way that just reading it doesn't seem to capture. Then as we moved into this poem video series I knew I wanted this song included.
I invite you to read over the poem slowly, let the story find a place within you to settle. Then play the video below, you could close your eyes and just listen to the song itself at first, and then play it again, this time taking in the images. If the images don't work for you, stay with what does. This is all a creative experiment! I am so grateful for the many artists with whom I get to work and play.
My collection of poems, Dreaming of Stones, was published this week in the U.S. (coming to other countries very soon!) If you go to this link you can find different ways of ordering a copy for yourself. I would be most grateful for and honored by your support.

Will Earth's Follies Take Root on Mars? Black Comedy Explores the Frontier
The world's richest human wants to build a city on Mars: Fifty years ago, Elon Musk's vision of our future on the Red Planet might have sounded like science fiction — but today, Musk is actually serious about the idea of using billions of dollars from ventures like SpaceX's Starlink broadband network to finance the move to Mars.
"In looking in the long term, and saying what's needed to create a city on Mars, well, one thing's for sure: a lot of money," Musk said back in 2015. "So we need things that will generate a lot of money."
What kind of city would Musk want to see on Mars? His vision calls for a place that offers "everything from iron foundries to pizza joints to nightclubs" while getting rid of "special interests and coercion of politicians." But what if cities on Mars turn out to be like cities on Earth, complete with wealth disparity, racism — and ambitious billionaires?
That's the premise for "Maurice on Mars," a darkly funny series of animated shorts created and written by comedian and TV writer Tim Barnes for Comedy Central's Animated YouTube channel.
"I truly think that people often jump to that aspirational part of living on Mars," Barnes says in the latest episode of Fiction Science, a podcast focusing on the intersection of science and fiction. "But the practical thing is that you're going to need people to build stuff once you get there. So the working class, the underclass, I believe will be the first people on Mars to actually build the White House there."
Barnes himself voices the main character in "Maurice on Mars": a struggling artist and barista who hops onto a shuttle heading for Mars, only to become a struggling artist working in a Martian coffee shop.
Maurice "realizes that this utopic society is actually just putting a new face on the same old Earth problems," Barnes says.
In the first episode, Maurice runs into a group of college students who have been brainwashed to believe that Earth was always free of conflict, thanks to a Fact Inhibitor Chip.
Maurice somehow missed being implanted with the chip, and when he takes issue with what the students are saying, the drone police are summoned. "He's teaching radical Earth theory!" one student says. Fortunately, Maurice's robot boss comes to the rescue.
"The second episode is about sports on Mars. And the third episode is an episode in which Maurice accidentally causes the first recession on Mars," Barnes says. "There's just something wonderful about saying something and then [adding] 'on Mars' at the end."
Space billionaires come in for some jabs. "There is this ominous figure throughout these three episodes of 'Maurice on Mars' named Braxton Tusk, who is a combination of Elon Musk, Richard Branson and Jeff Bezos — a billionaire who basically runs this whole 'utopic' operation on Mars," Barnes says.
Barnes drew upon multiple streams of experience to put together the Comedy Central project. One stream has to do with his decade's worth of work as a writer and performer for shows ranging from "Explosion Bus" in 2013 (where he voiced Talent Scout #2) to "The Tonight Show" (where he riffed on his role as a Black writer in a one-on-one bit with host Jimmy Fallon in 2020).
Along the way, Barnes got to know a host of other writers, actors and comedians — some of whom do the voices for characters in "Maurice on Mars." For example, Lori Beth Denberg (of "All That" fame) plays Maurice's robot boss, and Clare O'Kane (a writer for "Saturday Night Live") plays a co-worker who may or may not be an alien.
Another stream of experience comes from his early days as a struggling comedian. "One of the first jobs I got was a very miserable one, where I was working at a Dunkin' Donuts," he recalls. "I always got the night shift, which didn't allow me to pursue my actual goal of going out to open mics every night, because I was too busy selling doughnuts."

Barnes also draws upon his perspective as a Black sci-fi fan: He's the co-host of a podcast called Yub Nub, which is aimed at "Star Wars fans who actually like Star Wars." The Yub Nub clan recently addressed the controversy over racist comments about the casting of Black actress Moses Ingram as Inquisitor Reva in "Obi-Wan Kenobi" on Disney+.

A grid-tied electrical system, also called tied to grid or grid tie system, is a semi-autonomous electrical generation or grid energy storage system which links to the mains to feed excess capacity back to the local mains electrical grid. When insufficient electricity is available, electricity drawn from the mains grid can make up the shortfall. Conversely when excess electricity is available, it is sent to the main grid. When the Utility or network operator restricts the amount of energy that goes into the grid, it is possible to prevent any input into the grid by installing Export Limiting devices.

When batteries are used for storage, the system is called battery-to-grid (B2G), which includes vehicle-to-grid (V2G).

How it works

Direct Current (DC) electricity from sources such as hydro, wind or solar is passed to an inverter which is grid tied. The inverter monitors the alternating current mains supply frequency and generates electricity that is phase matched to the mains. When the grid fails to accept power during a "black out", most inverters can continue to provide courtesy power.

Battery-to-grid
A key concept of this system is the possibility of creating an electrical micro-system that is not dependent on the grid-tie to provide a high level quality of service. If the mains supply of the region is unreliable, the local generation system can be used to power important equipment.

Battery-to-grid can also spare the use of fossil fuel power plants to supply energy during peak loads on the public electric  grid. Regions that charge based on time of use metering may benefit by using stored battery power during prime time.

Environmentally friendly
Local generation can be from an environmentally friendly source such as pico hydro, solar panels or a wind turbine. Individuals can choose to install their own system if an environmentally friendly mains provider is not available in their location.

Small scale start
A micro generation facility can be started with a very small system such as a home wind power generation, photovoltaic (solar cells) generation, or micro combined heat and power (Micro-CHP) system.

Sell to and buy from mains
Excess electricity can be sold to mains.
Electrical shortfall can be bought from mains.

Staunton, March 17 – For decades, many thoughtful observers have argued that "the cult of Lenin is a marker of Russian imperialism and that monuments and busts of Ilich play exactly the same role as did busts of the emperor in the Roman Empire" and that that reality explains Russian anger about taking down Lenin statues abroad, according to Yevgeny Ikhlov.
But one could hardly expect that a leading prop of the Russian regime would make this argument baldly and in public. However, that has now happened, and the statement an official of the Moscow Patriarchate issued yesterday merits close attention as an indication of just what the nature of Russian state ideology now is (kasparov.ru/material.php?id=58CAB915F2725).
"In the Moscow Patriarchate, they have spoken out against the reburial of Lenin.
"Moscow, March 16. Interfax.ru – "The first deputy chairman of the Synod's Department for Relations of the Russian Orthodox Church with Society and the Media, Aleksandr Shchipkov, called extremely untimely the idea of burying the body of Lenin and promoted to introduce in Russia a moratorium on the war with political symbols.
"We understand perfectly well that [Lenin's] presence on Red Square does not have anything in common with Christian traditions. But we cannot raise the question about reburial earlier than when the campaign for de-communization and de-Sovietization on the post-Soviet space ends.
Because of its support for that, Ikhlov continues, the leaders of the Church are willing to go along "even with Sovietization, thus betraying the memory of tens of thousands of Orthodox priests and hundreds of thousands of laymen who became victims of Bolshevism and the Soviet system.

Aria Entertainment
See What I Wanna See, Jermyn Street Theatre
"The truth is rarely pure and never simple," says Oscar Wilde in The Importance of Being Earnest. Indeed. We often encounter conflicts or situations where opposing viewpoints create very different stories. Michael John LaChiusa adapts three Japanese short stories by Ryūnosuke Akutagawa, including "The Grove" on which Akira Kurosawa based his western hit Rashomon, intertwining them to create a production showing that, well, we often see what we want to see and that "truth" is a flighty creature that can never be pinned down and shown objectively. See What We Wanna See, a chamber musical produced by Aria Entertainment at Jermyn Street Theatre, is a delicate, intimate performance with a strong cast. However, LaChiusa's trilogy with loosely connected themes has little else that links them and feels like an evening of short plays rather than a cohesive, full-length musical.
As the prelude to each act, "Kesa and Morito" shows a medieval Japanese couple recently discovered having an affair. They are seeing each other for the last time. Both have plans for their final encounter and blackouts preclude discovery of their fate. "R Shomon" follows as the bulk of the first half, a thriller set in 1950's New York. Four characters tell totally conflicting witness statements to an unseen policeman. Who is telling the truth about the death of The Husband? How is this piece connected to the opening where Kesa shares her story in a single song? The audience never finds out. The ending to this mini-musical is deliciously ambiguous with some complex musicality in the songs, but the connection to the "Kesa and Morito" prologue is tenuous at best.
The second half is the same structure. Morito shares his side of the story for the duration of a single song, then "Gloryday" is the rest of the act. This is a more compelling story than "R Shomon" and could be a longer, standalone production. A disaffected priest creates a hoax miracle that takes post-9/11 New York City by storm, making some pointed criticism of Jesus and his followers by comparing them to the vulnerable that fall for his trick. The end has a poignant twist and reiterates the show's focus on the fluidity of truth within deceit and crime. Whilst these are good stories and maintain audience interest, there is no linking transition or any comment on the three other than presenting them together. This emphasizes the timelessness of the theme, but takes no particular point of view on it. LaChiusa's message is consequently unclear.
The cast of five is fantastic; in a small theatre with a four-piece band are quiet enough that the actors don't need mics so detail isn't lost through amplification. There is no week link; they all have the chance to play at least one substantial role with the others showcasing their range. Jonathan Butterell as the priest that loses his faith in the second act's "Gloryday" is particularly touching. Mark Goldthorp as the reserved 1950s taxi company boss in the first half's "R Shomon" is quietly enigmatic and counters the brashness of Marc Elliott's Thief and Cassie Compton's resentful Wife. The priest's Aunt Monica as given by Sarah Ingram is light relief but still possessing emotional depth.
LaChiusa's music is reminiscent of a gentler, simpler Sondheim with influences spanning different eras and cultures. Simon Anthony Wells' design similarly captures the different worlds in the production. Despite compelling individual stories, great performances and some lovely songs, the audience is left questioning what they are meant to take from the production and unsatisfied by the lack of a deeper connection between the three component tales. It's still definitely worth seeing the London premiere of this unique, cosy production by Aria Entertainment, a producer vital to musical theatre for staging new and rarely staged work.

The Verb, To Love and Portia Coughlan, Old Red Lion
Love, loss and obsession: Aria Entertainment's double bill explores these themes with dramatically different outcomes. New British musical The Verb, To Love follows college lecturer Simon's attempts to find a lasting relationship after breaking up with his boyfriend of 23 years. Mid-90's Irish play Portia Coughlan shows the title role's failure to function in day-to-day life whilst clinging to memories of her twin brother who drowned 15 years previously. Both productions, which can be seen singly or one after the other, depict emotion in its most raw, desperate state with committed performances and unique design elements.
The Verb, To L ove by Andy Collyer is a two-hander but focuses almost exclusively on Simon (Martin Neely). He falls in love with fellow teacher, the wide-eyed, much younger Ben (Gareth Bretherton) after a breakup. Simon sings us the story of their friendship progressing to a reluctant confession of love, but there is no happily ever after. Several years later after building a successful career, Ben decides its time to move on even though doting Simon would do anything for his "baby boy". Simon's songs then journey through the stages of grief and forays in online dating until he finds peace with his houseplants.
Though billed as a musical there is little spoken dialogue. The contemporary musical theatre songs continuously flow into each other with few breaks and Ben doesn't enter until he breaks up with Simon halfway through the show. Until their breakup, we hear their story exclusively from Simon's perspective. Ben doesn't interject often after he arrives, making this almost a one-man show. Even though it was only an hour, it's a long time for Neely to sing almost continuously, which he does splendidly.
This is clearly a musical under development, but it has plenty of potential. Simon's character is detailed and well developed; Neely adds plenty of nuance. The songs have enough variation to not sound too similar, but with a strong motif. It would not take much to make this a full-length show: more scenes, more Ben, and possibly some other characters – though The Last 5 Years proves a two-hander works beautifully, particularly when telling the rise and fall of a relationship. More substance will also help dilute the sentimentality, though it was never cloying. Focusing the bulk of the story on Ben and Simon's relationship gave the show a sturdy narrative arc rather than showing a snapshot from Simon's life. There was no dancing, lighting changes corresponded with emotional intensity and the flowery parkland set reminded the audience that there is light at the end of every tough time. I look forward to seeing The Verb, To Love develop and hope Aria Entertainment stages it again in a more fully formed state.
Marina Carr's Portia Coughlan is m uch darker and more complete fare. Set in rural Ireland, Portia celebrates her thirtieth birthday. Fifteen years ago tomorrow, her twin brother drowned in the Belmont River that runs behind her father's farm. She never recovered from his death, despite having a life that reads perfectly on paper: a wealthy husband, close family and three sons. Susan Stanley plays tortured Portia with a coiled spring intensity that never relents, even when drinking and flirting in the local pub. The verdant, grassy floor from The Verb, to Love remains, but a pool of water is Belmont River and a rustic kitchen set is her country home. The lighting is darker and ethereal music draws attention to the appearances of Portia's ghostly brother, Gabriel.
Similarly broken people with hidden family secrets inhabit Portia's world. Her parents pop in uninvited and berate her for not fulfilling her wifely duties. Her paternal grandmother abuses her and her mother relentlessly. Her best friend Stacia helps Portia with the kids, but only has one eye and needs of her own. Her patient husband Raphael (Ben Mulhern) does his best to look after their children when Portia says she wants nothing to do with them, as she's afraid she'll harm them. She never wanted to be a mother. She never wanted to marry Raphael. She doesn't really want anything to do with this world at all, instead dwells on her brother's death. She tries to distract herself with love affairs, to no avail. The day after her birthday has a predicable outcome halfway through the play, but then the action jumps back in time for more horrific familial revelations.
A cast of eleven creates Portia's intimate, oppressive world of family, lovers and friends. Most have good intention in their hearts, but none of their efforts can save Portia from her deteriorating mental stability and Grabriel's increasingly frequent, haunting presence. The dialogue is frank, but taps into an innate Irish poetry and spirit world of Celtic mythology. Though these characters simultaneously evoke pity and disdain, there is a grounded earthiness about them and their connections to each other. The ensemble work is excellent, particularly from those playing Portia's family, though the other roles are certainly to be commended. Veronica Quilligan and James Holmes as older family friends, the Doorley's, provide some comic relief and comfort amongst the abuse. Portia's lovers Damus Halion (Alan Devally) and Fintan Goolan (Conan Sweeny) both barely conceal pent up rage and disdain for Portia. Even though she does not help herself, Portia is framed as a tragic hero, the victim of circumstances beyond her control. Carr's writing is outstanding captures the often stark isolation of village life. Director Bronagh Lagan successfully captures the tone and mood of the play as it barrels towards its inevitable end. This is a production that would benefit from a larger venue and more space to create an even more atmospherically complex set.
Though radically different in tone, these two productions show desperate characters on the brink of collapse. Simon has a much more supportive, comfortable life and manages to pull himself back from edge after some facebook stalking and late night phone calls to Ben. Portia's brother eventually catches up with her, but no one in her village is functional enough to save her. We could all to easily find ourselves in similar circumstances, but I hope we tend more towards Simon than Portia. The pairing of these two pieces shows great insight and intuition in producer Katy Lipson of Aria Entertainment. An accomplished young producer who focuses on British musicals, she made a wise choice to pair The Verb, To Love with Portia Coughlan.

These Tex Mex Tater Tots are baked to perfection and dipped into a tangy Chipotle Lime Dip!
Earlier this week I shared my favorite Healthy Mexican Food Recipes, but I've saved the best for last! It's no secret that I love making homemade tater tots. I've got my zucchini ones, broccoli ones, spaghetti squash ones and green apple gouda ones.
Well, since you asked, it's quite possibly one of the best dips I've ever had. Like, can't stop licking the bowl kind of dip. The chipotle makes it smoky and spicy, the lime gives it a nice fresh kick and the sour cream is so cool and creamy. For this delicious dip I used Shamrock Farms Organic Sour Cream and it was perfect!
One of the reasons I love Shamrock Farms is because, to me, it's a local company. Their located in Phoenix, Arizona and have a real working dairy farm that is open for tours October – May. While there you can see their commitment to treating their cows awesomely, which is really important to me when eating dairy.
All Shamrock Farm's products begin with wholesome nutritious milk with no added grown hormones. Their products go through rigorous purity testing and are all cold packed and shipped fresh for the best flavor. And, if you don't feel like spicing the sour cream up yourself, they also offer flavored sour creams like, Zesty Jalapeño, French Onion and Creamy Ranch.
Make these healthy homemade tater tots for Cinco De Mayo or just as a side dish for dinner!
1–2 chipotle peppers packed in adobo sauce, depending on how spicy you like it!
Add potatoes to a large pot and fill with cold water. Bring to a boil and then simmer potatoes until just fork tender but still with a little bit of give in the center, 20-25 minutes. Drain potatoes and let them cool until you are able to handle them.
While potatoes are cooking, heat a large pan over medium heat and add about 1 teaspoon olive oil, peppers and onions. Cook until vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees F. Peel potatoes and then grate them on a box grater. Add grated potatoes to a big bowl along with the cooked peppers and onions, black beans, corn, salt and spices. Use your hands to mix everything together.
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Form the potato mixture into small cylinders, you can make them as big or small as you like, and then brush the top of each with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
Bake tater tots until browned and crispy, 25-30 minutes, flipping once.

In the six years since the Obama Administration and the Veterans Administration set a goal of eradicating veterans' homelessness, cities and states — Houston; Las Vegas; Mobile, Ala.; New Orleans; Syracuse, N. Y.; and the state of Virginia — have announced they achieved that goal.
It's a challenging problem that affects not just men, but a growing number of women, reports Stephanie J. Wong, a clinical psychologist who works at a VA hospital in the San Francisco Bay Area. "The majority are Vietnam-era vets. But I'm also seeing more and more younger vets, in their mid-30s, and a lot more Operation Iraqi Freedom vets seeking help." Many have suffered multiple injuries, which makes treatment more challenging. "I'm seeing more and more 'comorbid' injuries, so a veteran may have a traumatic brain injury, post-traumatic stress disorder, and substance abuse," notes Wong. "What do you treat first?" Communities are building facilities to shelter veterans in need. In Columbia, Mo., Veterans United Mortgage (VU) and its charitable foundation contributed $1 million — nearly one-quarter of the entire funding necessary — to transform a decrepit hotel into a "welcome home community" for veterans without housing. The facility has both apartment units and an emergency shelter.

The Malibu Memorial Park Pushes Forward

The environmentally friendly Malibu Memorial Park project pushes forward in spite of (false) reports of a "fatal blow". On Feb. 27th, The Malibu Times reported that the Malibu Memorial Park Project "may be on life support." In fact, with overwhelming community support, this couldn't be further from the truth.

Parkinson's disease is a disorder of the nervous system that mostly affects older people. Changes in pattern of movement and behavior can point to the beginning of Parkinson's disease. Symptoms usually develop slowly over several years. The major symptoms of Parkinson's disease are tremors and slow, rigid movements.
Timely intervention is essential after noticing Parkinson's disease because early treatment can improve the long-term result of the disorder.
Tremors involve a persistent twitching or shaking of the legs, hands, or chin. Tremors associated with Parkinson's disease are very elusive when they initially appear. Tremors is described as a major typical sign of Parkinson's disease by most healthcare professionals.
Tremors do appear on one side of the body and then spread to other parts of the body later on. The tremors are called "rest tremors." This means the tremors stop when a person uses the affected body part.
At the early stage, the tremors is usually slight, but gradually deteriorates as the disease progresses.
The inability to smell any odor is called hyposmia or olfactory dysfunction. Parkinson's disease usually causes loss of smell.
Doctors use smell identification tests to diagnose hyposmia, but the precision of these tests varies greatly.
Hyposmia does not necessarily imply that someone has Parkinson's disease. Other factors that can affect a person's sense of smell include smoking, age, or exposure to harsh chemicals.
Another early sign of Parkinson's disease is changes in a person's walking pattern. Parkinson's disease may cause a person to walk slowly or drag their feet as they walk. The person might walk at an uneven pace, suddenly walking faster or slower.
Vocal changes is another early sign of Parkinson's disease. Changes in volume and quality of vocal sound may involve speaking in a softer tone, or starting to speak at a usual volume and then the voice becomes softer or diminishes.
Parkinson's disease often leads to facial masking – an inability to properly make facial expressions. In facial masking, the facial muscles move slowly and rigidly than normal. Facial masking can make someone to slowly or may find it hard to communicate with others due to changes in their facial expressions.
Parkinson's disease can affect a person psychologically. The disease lowers the body's natural levels of dopamine, which can cause changes in mood and behavior.
Parkinson's disease affects the basal ganglia (nerve cells located deep within the brain). These nerves control balance and flexibility, so any damage to these nerves can damage the proper balance of a person.
The "pull test" is usually used to assess the balance of a person with Parkinson's disease. The involves gently pulling a person's shoulders backward until they lose their balance and recording how long it takes them to regain their balance.
Bradykinesia means slowness or absence of movement. This condition causes stiffness of the limbs and slow movements.
The condition that involves abnormally small or cramped handwriting is called micrographia. This condition affect the nervous system of people with Parkinson's disease.

Gaza: Cruelty without consequences
(credit: Photo by Yousef Bassam)
Below is a letter about the recent (August 2022) Israeli attacks on Gaza. NVI has long advocated for a nonviolent resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Please get involved. The status quo is horrible, particularly for the Palestinians.
By Jonathan Kuttab | Nonviolence International | August 11, 2022
The biggest victory for Israel was in the muted response by the American media.
Israel is currently gloating over its recent operation in Gaza. It succeeded by all measures: Israel initiated the conflict, first by arresting an Islamic Jihad leader in the West Bank city of Jenin and dragging him out in humiliation, as he was bitten by a dog; then, anticipating a reaction by his organization, Israel proceeded to bombard Gaza "preemptively." In three short days, the Israeli military managed to rain death and destruction on Gaza, assassinating another Islamic Jihad leader, killing 46 Palestinians (including 16 children), and wounding 460 others. Meanwhile, it suffered no casualties itself aside from a few lightly wounded by shrapnel. The world press largely followed the Israeli narrative, giving credit to Israeli lies that it was Palestinian fire that killed its child-victims. Israel succeeded in calculating and limiting the actions it initiated, as Hamas was both bribed and bullied into staying on the sidelines and Egypt quickly moved in to suggest a ceasefire once Israel felt satisfied.
The operation succeeded in further fragmenting the Palestinians by distinguishing Hamas from Islamic Jihad and Gaza from the West Bank, Jerusalem, and Palestinians within Israel's borders, as well as the wider Arab world. Israel suffered no losses, illustrating the power of its iron dome defenses and setting the stage for seeking additional military aid from the supportive US. It achieved a muted response from Arab countries and the international community, which found itself busy elsewhere. Israel successfully used varying tools of influence to "manage" the event, and it got what it wanted at little or no cost. In addition, the Gaza operation served as a useful tool for internal Israeli politics, improving the chances of the interim government ahead of elections. The operation's success was such that Israel did not even need to pretend it was defending itself or only retaliating. Now, the discourse is about Israel's "right to protect itself" from anticipated Palestinian reactions to Israeli provocations. Its power and military dominance was in full display yet again, as was the weakness and helplessness of the Palestinians.

If passed in its present form, the 2016 Higher Education and Research Bill that is currently before parliament will enact huge constitutional changes that will undermine the autonomy and vigour of the UK's universities and research base.
We want you to write to your MP to ask for amendments to the bill that will protect the health of our system of higher education and research by ensuring that crucial decisions have full parliamentary oversight.
As it stands, the bill concentrates power in the hands of the Secretary of State and significantly weakens the ability of Parliament to scrutinise and challenge decisions that could abolish particular universities or research councils or undermine existing freedoms to teach and direct research.
Our UK's universities and research base are world-leading, but they are already under threat from stagnating budgets and the risks from leaving the EU. In such circumstances, we need to think very carefully before making changes to how this ecosystem functions.
The Higher Education and Research Bill in its current form would cause widespread changes to this landscape, undermining the independence of our universities and research communities (as explained in more detail in this article in the Guardian by Science is Vital Advisory Board member, Professor Stephen Curry).
Since this bill needs to be passed by MPs in Parliament, this would be an ideal topic about which to write to yours. As luck would have it, we've just produced a guide to writing to your MP. Please check it out, write a letter, and let us know what your MP says.
If you want to see an example letter, please have a look at the one Stephen sent to his MP.
Update (14th Nov 2016): We are now also asking supporters to target a key groups of parliamentarians: present and former university Vice-Chancellors who are members of the upper house. Full details on how do so are given here.
Update (16th Nov 2016): Yesterday the government published a series of amendments to the bill (see p2 of this PDF) which include the clarification that "Guidance framed by reference to a particular course of study must not guide the OfS to perform a function in a way which prohibits or requires the provision of a particular course of study." This is a welcome move to protect university autonomy. The concession illustrates that public pressure backed with strong arguments can work to make this legislation better. But we need to keep pressing to ensure that further improvements are made.
Update (6th Dec 2016): Another piece by Stephen Curry in the Guardian, taking account of the amendments now agreed by the government but also explaining the important challenges that remain.
I have written to my MP recently about the threat of losing foreign students, but I got no answer whatsoever.
There is one further area I would suggest Science is Vital needs to challenge. This is the removal of Privy Council oversight with respect to the amendment of University Statutes.
Since such statutes provide additional protection for academic staff, and thus research specialists, above and beyond the limited protections offered by employment law, these statutes need defending. Some universities have watered down protections for quasi-tenure from the 1988 Model Statutes, others like my own institution UCL, have been rebuffed by campaigns from staff.
At the heart this is a debate that says that science needs the opportunity to grow with protection from institutional managers that might prefer to divert resources into undergraduate teaching now that each undergraduate represents a £9k pa income stream.
Jo Johnson apparently responded to the CDBU that 'not very many' universities had Royal Charters that needed protection. I don't know who has been advising him, but this shows what we are up against.

A few weeks ago I reported the official Islamic Jihad Quds Brigades Facebook, just to see if it's taken seriously.
Once again, Facebook deemed it perfectly fine for the page to stay.
Safety is Facebook's top priority. We remove content and may escalate to law enforcement when we perceive a genuine risk of physical harm, or a direct threat to public safety. You may not credibly threaten others, or organize acts of real-world violence. Organizations with a record of terrorist or violent criminal activity are not allowed to maintain a presence on our site. We also prohibit promoting, planning or celebrating any of your actions if they have, or could, result in financial harm to others, including theft and vandalism.
Here's Islamic Jihad posting one of their videos that celebrates attacks on Israeli civilians with rockets – a war crime.
Lest we forget that the Palestinian Islamic Jihad is a designated a terrorist organiation by the US, EU, UK, Japan, Canada and Israel.
Funnily enough, Hamasholes are protesting Facebook for shutting down Hamas' page, so why give the Palestinian Islamic Jihad a free pass?
Please share and write to Facebook about it.

Law School Case Briefs
Case Concerning Avena and other Mexican Nationals (Mexico v. United States of America) case brief
Case Concerning Avena and other Mexican Nationals
(Mexico v. United States of America)
Citation: 2004 I.C.J. 1 (Mar 31)
Fifty one Mexican nationals were in jail on various charges. This included three prisoners who had been convicted of a capital crime and who were on death row.
At the time of arrest, the prisoners were not warned that they had the right to contact the Embassy of Mexico.
Under the Vienna Convention on Consular Rights 36(1)(b), foreign nationals have the right to contact their embassy at the time of their arrest.
The United States was a party to the Convention.
Mexico went to the International Court of Justice (ICJ). The ICJ ordered that the United States "take all measures necessary" to prevent the execution.
Was the United States in breach of their obligations under the treaty?
Yes, The ICJ found that the United States was indeed in breach of their treaty obligations.
The ICJ found sthat in order to make it good, the United States would have to review the Mexican nationals' sentences.
Mexico had pushed to have the sentences be annulled, but the ICJ did not feel that it was required.
What you should learn from this case
Foreign nationals have a right to contact their embassy at the time of arrest if the country is a party to the Vienna Convention on Consular Rights.

Sheriff 'Absolutely Believes' Motive for Las Vegas Massacre Will Be Found

Las Vegas sheriff Joseph Lombardo says he "absolutely believes" investigators will find a motive for the worst mass slaying in U.S. history.
Investigators are mystified about why Stephen Paddock, 64 — a man who was financially well off and with no criminal record or apparent political or religious ties — opened fire on a country music show Sunday night, killing 59 and wounding 527.
Lombardo said Tuesday at a news conference that this was obviously an extensively premeditated massacre. He said he was pretty sure Paddock evaluated everything he did.
"We cannot even rule out mental illness or some form of brain damage, although there's no evidence of that either," a Department of Homeland Security official said Tuesday.
The sheriff gave few details of what investigators have found so far. But he did say Paddock fired from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay hotel for nine to 11 minutes before shooting himself.
A compilation of video from police body cameras while the bullets flew showed a scene of chaos and confusion. Officers scrambled to determine where the gunfire was coming from while shouting at people to "get down" and "get back."
Debris litters the festival grounds across the str
Debris litters the festival grounds across the street from the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, Oct. 3, 2017, in Las Vegas. Authorities said Stephen Craig Paddock, perched in the resort's hotel, used a cache of weapons to kill dozens and injure hundreds at a music festival at the grounds on Oct. 1.
Lombardo said agents from the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives were looking into whether Paddock used what is called a "bump stock," a device that alters a semiautomatic weapon so it can fire bullets faster.
Police have recovered a total of 47 weapons from three different locations — the hotel room, and Paddock's homes in Mesquite and Verdi, Nevada. They also found numerous rounds of ammunition and explosives in his car.
Lombardo also said Paddock's girlfriend, Marilou Danley, is in the Philippines and is a "person of interest." He had no comment on reports that Paddock wired $100,000 to the Philippines shortly before the massacre, but it is unclear who the money was for.
Paddock had cameras inside his room and at least one set up on a food service cart outside the door. Lombardo said there was no video of the shootings from those cameras.
A Las Vegas police officer stands by a blocked-off
A Las Vegas police officer stands by a blocked-off area near the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, Oct. 3, 2017, in Las Vegas, which is near the site of the Oct. 1 mass shooting by Stephen Craig Paddock.
Lombardo said police and Mandalay Bay hotel security saved hundreds of lives because of their quick response.
The sheriff said all but three shooting victims had been identified. Some of the wounded got away from the immediate area, only to die a few blocks away.
Many of those hurt were trampled or injured while scrambling over fences.
President Donald Trump will go to Las Vegas on Wednesday to meet with police and first responders and to console the victims. He described Paddock as "a sick man, a demented man, a lot of problems, I guess, so we're looking into him very, very seriously."
Charlene Ragsdale pauses at a memorial in Las Vega
Charlene Ragsdale pauses at a memorial in Las Vegas, Oct. 3, 2017, for those killed Oct. 1 when a gunman opened fire on an outdoor music concert.

"And what happened in Las Vegas is in many ways a miracle. The police department has done such an incredible job," he said, adding that the issue of gun laws would be discussed "as time goes by."
Paddock's brother, Eric, was just as baffled as police by the shooter's motive. He said the family was "horrified and bewildered."
He said his brother had plenty of money and had no known political or religious affiliations, no ties with white supremacists and no history of mental illness.
"Where the hell did he get automatic weapons? He's a guy who lived in a house in Mesquite and drove down and gambled in Las Vegas," Eric Paddock said.

The nation and the world has opened up hearts — and wallets — to help the Las Vegas victims. A victims fund has collected $3.7 million so far, and blood donations have exceeded the immediate need.
Officials said the donations had been as small as $5 and as big as $3 million, from MGM Resorts International, which owns and operates the Mandalay Bay resort and many other entertainment properties.
Police Search for Motive Behind Deadly Las Vegas Rampage
Gunman fires from high-rise hotel room, kills himself; his motive is a mystery

Terror Risks Make Tight Security Routine for World's Hotels
In many parts of the world, the constant fear of extremist attacks has led to tighter security measures at hotels and resorts, but that is less so in the United States, where hotels are reluctant to intrude on the privacy of guests. Security experts say the shooting attack that left at least 59 people dead in Las Vegas could lead to more cameras and more training for hotel staff. More aggressive measures such as metal detectors or X-ray screening of guests and…

This weekend was my birthday (the 31st edition) and my husband suprised me with camping in Big Sur, California. Big Sur is located on the central coast along Highway 1. It was a spectacular trip. Over and over again I am amazed by the beauty of the California coastline.
We started in Point Lobos Park to view the tumbling cliffs and sandy coves.
We headed south to Pfeiffer Beach. This beach was a little hidden and foggy, but such a great place to rock climb and explore nature.
We camped at Fernwood Resort, which is a great campground for Rvs and tents. Our campsite overlooked a small river, which made for some lovely views while I worked on my Red Rosina sweater.
On Saturday, we drove a total of 35 miles on Highway 1. Our hikes took us to McKay Falls, Limekiln Park and Pacific Valley Bluff Trail. All were fairly easy hikes with great scenery. I just couldn't get enough of the breathtaking ocean views.
On Sunday, we took a tour of the Point Sur Light Station. The tour was little long, but so infomative. We looked for whales, explored the lighthouse, and then got to see the Head Lightkeeper's house. The house was awesome as it was preserved with 1950's artifacts. Everything down to the cans in the kitchen cabinets were vintage.
Later that afternoon, I received my birthday present. My husband (the smart man he is) treated me to a trip to Monarch Knitting Shop in Pacific Grove, CA. This yarn shop was magnificent. It was big, spacious, well organized and very welcoming.
The staff were super nice without being pushy. There were so many great brands from economic (Berroco) to pricey (Sweet Gerogia) to choose from. I ended up splurging and got two skiens of Madeline Tosh DK in Spectrum. Ooo whee 😍. I get excited just thinking about it. My first skeins of the coveted Tosh yarn. I think I am going to stash this for awhile till I find the perfect project.
Thanks. He is a lucky guy!
What a greyt birthday surprise. And the pics are awesome!


Today is launch day for the new Wild & Wonderful release from Catherine Pooler Designs. The Creative Team is kicking off a big three day blog hop today as well. Even though I won't be "officially" hopping until day three of the hop, I wanted to share a card today to celebrate the launch of the new release.
This card actually features both of the amazing new background stamps in this release. I used the BFF Background Stamp and Grape Crush ink on the bottom quarter of the card front. I also used the Grape Crush ink to stamp the sentiment from the Wonderful Wildflowers stamp set.
I originally planned to do a monochromatic card, but I got started, I decided I really wanted a pop of color. Using some white cardstock and a mini ink blending tool, I created a rainbow blend using the four ink colors in this release. Two of the colors, All That Jazz and Be Mine, were previously released as mystery colors in Stamp of Approval collections, but are now available for individual purchase. The two other colors, Grape Crush and Limoncello, are completely new colors. These four colors are the start of the new Carnivale Bundle from the Party Collection of inks.
Once I had the rainbow blend completed, I used my heat tool to ensure the ink was completely dry. I went over the entire piece using my anti-static powder tool then stamped the new Kaleidoscope Background Stamp over the rainbow using VersaMark ink then heat set it using clear embossing powder. I trimmed a piece of the rainbow cardstock to about 5/8″ wide and adhered it to the card front just below the sentiment and that completed the card.
If you would prefer something a bit quicker that doesn't involve ink blending and heat embossing, here's another variation I made of the same card. Instead of the ink blended rainbow piece, I added some sparkly washi tape instead. I still used Grape Crush ink to stamp the BFF Background Stamp, but this time switched things up and used Be Mine for the sentiment.
Be sure to head over to Catherine's blog now. She's the starting point for today's hop. You'll definitely want to hop along and leave comments at all the stops for a chance to win.
This entry was posted in All Occasion Cards, Cards, CAS, Easy Cards, Encouragement Cards, Friendship, Heat Embossing, Ink Blending, New Release and tagged All That Jazz, Be Mine, BFF Background Stamp, Catherine Pooler Designs, Catherine Pooler Inks, Grape Crush, Kaleidoscope Background Stamp, Limoncello, Wild & Wonderful Release, Wonderful Wildflowers.
Beautiful card! Love the rainbow of colors effect! I also love the sentiment that you used!

Trams operated from Ripley to Nottingham from 1913 to 1933. The switchback route through the hill towns of Eastwood, Heanor, Codnor and Ripley, together with the fact that the route was single track with no fewer than 316 passing loops made the journey long and bumpy, and gained the trams the reputation of being "the most dangerous tram route in Britain".
The first tram in Ripley, 1913 – before the regular service started.
Construction started in February 1913 and the first tram on regular service entered Ripley Co-op Square on 1st January 1914. The 15 mile journey to Cinderhill in Nottingham took 1 hour 40 minutes. The trams ran 18 hours a day except for Sundays. Fares were a penny a mile but workmen boarding before 8am were able to get return tickets at single prices and miners were charged a penny regardless of the length of the journey.
D.H. Lawrence used the line as the backdrop to his story "Tickets Please", written round 1919. The opening describes Ripley :
"There is in the North a single-line system of tramcars which boldly leaves the county town and plunges off into the black, industrial countryside, up hill and down dale, through the long, ugly villages of workmen's houses, over canals and railways, past churches perched high and nobly over the smoke and shadows, through dark, grimy, cold little market-places, tilting away in a rush past cinemas and shops down to the hollow where the collieries are, then up again, past a little rural church under the ash-trees, on in a bolt to the terminus, the last little ugly place of industry, the cold little town that shivers on the edge of the wild, gloomy country beyond. There the blue and creamy coloured tramcar seems to pause and purr with curious satisfaction. But in a few minutes—the clock on the turret of the Co-operative Wholesale Society's shops gives the time—away it starts once more on the adventure."
Starting operation in 1914, it wasn't long before many of the drivers and conductors joined up. They were replaced, for the duration of the war, by young women, described by Lawrence as "fearless young hussies. In their ugly blue uniform, skirts up to their knees, shapeless old peaked caps on their heads, they have all the sang-froid of an old non-commissioned officer. With a tram packed with howling colliers, roaring hymns downstairs and a sort of antiphony of obscenities upstairs, the lasses are perfectly at their ease."
The trams were eventually replaced by trolley buses, the last tram on the Nottingham to Ripley route running on 5th October 1933.

Hi_De_Ho_3.21.17 | WAYO 104.3FM Rochester, NY | Way out, right here.
Tune in this week to the Hi-De-Ho Show for a lineup featuring early blues artists including Blind Lemon Jefferson, Ma Rainey, Little Walter, Leadbelly, and a number of others. With one of rock n' roll's greatest performers passing last weekend, I felt it only appropriate to close the show with one of Chuck Berry's classic tunes, "Maybellene." Rest in peace, Chuck Ol' Boy.

Tesla enters India: Company to set up factory in 'Namma Bengaluru'

Elon Musk, CEO and product architect of Tesla, who has been recently announced as 'the world's richest man', had tweeted a reply just recently last year in December, saying that Tesla will come to India "Next year for sure". Standing true to his words, Tesla has entered India and has registered with the Registrar of Companies (RoC) in Bangalore, under the name of Tesla India Motors and Energy Private Limited.
On this occasion, the chief minister of Karnataka B.S. Yediyurappa tweeted, "Karnataka will lead India's journey towards Green Mobility. Electric Vehicle Manufacturer Tesla will soon start its operations in India with an R&D unit in Bengaluru. I welcome Elon Musk to India and Karnataka and wish him all the very best."
The company has appointed three directors David John Feinstein, Vaibhav Taneja, and Venkatrangam Sreeram. According to reports, the registration of Tesla India Motors and Energy Private Limited took place on January 8 and the registered office is located at Lavelle Road, which is a business district in Bangalore. The paid-up capital of the entity is one lakh rupees and the authorized capital is fifteen lakh rupees, which is also registered as an unlisted company according to an RoC filing.
Tesla will also open a research and development (R&D) center in Bangalore and if required, the company will also be provided with space to build a factory in the near future. Last year, Nitin Gadkari, the Union road transport and highways minister, had said that Tesla will undertake assembly and manufacturing of electric cars after it starting its operations in India with sales. A list of locations has already been provided by the government of Karnataka, Tumkur being one of them, to set up Tesla's manufacturing facility.
In December 2020, Gadkari had also said that the Tesla Model 3, which is one of the cheapest vehicles of the company, will be the first one to be launched in India. The price of the Tesla Model 3 will start from around INR 55,00,000 and the bookings will start from January 2021.
"Tesla's China factory may work as the primary sourcing point initially. Tesla may start assembling vehicles in India after visible demand", said a government official to CNBC-TV18, hinting that Tesla might not set up a manufacturing plant in India so soon.
States like Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh are also considering partnering with Tesla, and reportedly, Tesla is in talks to start operations with these states including Karnataka.
The entry of Tesla will also help in materializing PM Narendra Modi's primary goals of the promotion of electric cars in India. Although Tesla has not imparted information about the time, date, and other details of Tesla India Motors and Energy Private Limited, the registration of the entity itself is very promising for India.
Gaurav Gupta, the state principal secretary for commerce and industries, said, "We have been interacting with Tesla for the last few months, and it is a happy news that it has decided to incorporate its company here. We have impressed upon them that Bengaluru is not only the technology capital but also the aerospace and space capital. For any kind of technology collaboration, it has the right kind of talent pool,…How they want to enter and take it forward is left to their judgment. Hopefully, this will lead to a sales office, research, and further developments as necessary."

Former Resident Ensemble Afiara Quartet Collaborates with Kid Koala in 'Nufonia Must Fall'
BROADWAY WORLD (SAN FRANCISCO) -- The Afiara Quartet is a 21st-century string quartet defined by its pursuit of beauty, meaning and growth as musicians and ambassadors for its genre. Comprised of violinists Valeri Li and Timothy Kantor, violist Eric Wong and cellist Adrian Fung, the award-winning ensemble has been described as "a revelation" (La Presse) with performances balancing "intensity and commitment" and "frequent moments of tenderness" (Montreal Gazette). Afiara has held residencies at The Juilliard School and San Francisco State University, and was fellowship ensemble at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Canada.


Ian and I had our simple summer getaway at Splash Mountain last April 10-11. We arrived their early so we have no choice but to take some photo ops. I think there are only two restaurants in the resort that offer food for the hotel guest. One is the Surigao Chicken and the other was the Coffee Shop in Oasis Hotel. But since we are allowed to check in early, we decided to have our lunch at Surigao Chicken. They offer lots of foods by grilled like chicken, barbecue, squid, pork liempo etc.
Ian tries the Inihaw na Liempo.
I chose to have Grilled Squid since I really love squid, I swear. Inside are tomatoes and onions which makes the grilled squid yummier.
Ian added Ensaladang Mangga for our side dish. To tell you the truth, we consume 3 rice for our lunch. Haha.
At night, after our tiring swimming activity for the whole day, Ian and I make a decision to fix our self and be ready for our dinner. As we look at the hotel price list of foods, we noticed that the price if 4 times higher than the Surigao Chicken offers, so we come to a decision to go back at Surigao Chicken and ordered foods for our dinner; in fact they will deliver it to our room, no hassle right. So for our dinner here are the foods that we really like.
We ordered Isaw, its 3 pcs for Php 10.00, we chose to ordered 15 pcs for Php 50.00.
Ian wants to try Barbecue, so he ordered 2 pcs for us.
He added Pork Liempo again and Ensaladang Mangga.

A: You'd have to include your index.js or similar entry file where you're requiring jQuery to understand what's going on. There's nothing wrong with your package.json. If you're using jQuery and the plugin in your code, you'd want to do one of these things, depending on how the plugin interacts with jQuery:
var $ = require('jquery');
window.$ = $; // If you need to access jQuery or `$.fn.timepicker` from the window object.
