Today I had the privilege of telling a story to an orphanage school in Pakistan!
One of the ministers there has been chatting with me on Facebook for a few weeks and asked if I would be willing to tell the kids a Bible story on Skype.
We planned it and today was the day!
The kids learned a song in English just for me! I asked them to sing it again at the end of the story.
Isn't the world an amazingly connected place!?!

A Place Where The Sea Remembers
Topics: Vivian Solon / Pages: 3 (904 words) / Published: Feb 20th, 2001
An offering by Sandra Benitez, A Place Where the Sea Remembers is a tale of love and anger, hope and tragedy, filled with haunting characters. Its setting is the Mexican village of Santiago, where Remedios, the healer, listens to the peoples' stories and gives them advice.
The healer goes to the sea to tell it her stories, and in turn, the sea tells its stories to her. "The sea listens, and the sea retells." At the heart of this tale is Chayo (19), the flower-seller, and her husband, Candelario (28), the salad-maker. They are unable to have a child, so when Chayo's younger sister Marta (16) gets pregnant (she was raped but no one believes her)and talks about getting an abortion,Candelario offers to take it as their own. Marta accepts. But soon before Marta births her child, Candelario loses his job and Chayo gets pregnant,and refuses to take Marta's baby.
Marta is shocked and angry, and goes to Remedios to cast a spell for Chayo to change her mind. But Remedios refuses to do this, telling Marta she should raise the baby herself and not venture out to El Paso. Remedios tells her that El Paso will not bring her the good life; only trouble. So Marta goes to the sorceror instead, and he casts a spell on Chayo's child, so that Marta's child will be eventually able to replace it.
Chayo eventually has her son, and he grows to be five years old. But he turns out to be deathly allergic to things like fire ants (this was the sorceror's spell). Chayo hates Marta for this, and will not forgive her. But when the river floods at the end of the book, Marta's son falls in and is swept away by the current. Remedios waits at the shore for the body to reveal itself, and Chayo forgives Marta.
So the tale is about justice, in that sense.
But that's only the main part of the story. Interwoven with this primary tale is the stories of others. One of these stories is that of Fulgencio Llanos, the photographer.
He has just gotten a photograph of the true identity of a famous masked wrestler. He knows he will become famous for this photo. But when he misses the bus back to Santiago, he has to catch a ride with a white American.
The American decides to veer off to a beach on the way back.
Fulgencio gets nervous, thinking he's going to steal his camera equipment. So when the American gets out of the car to go check out the beach, Fulgencio tries to grab hold of the Americans machettes in the back seat. But just as he's doing so, the American gets back to the car and is shocked at what he sees. He screams at Fulgencio to get out of the car, and he peels away.
Fulgencio is heartbroken, with his equipment stolen.
But as he walks down the path, he sees that the American had dumped his equipment out of the car before he drove off.
He wasn't a thief after all! It turns out they were both afraid of each other, for no good reason at all.
Fulgencio would still make it big with his photo.
The next story is that of Raphael Beltran. He is a shy school teacher who lives with his mother, taking care of her even though she does not appreciate it. He grows into his own man when he begins to teach his mother's young servant Ines. He teaches her to read, even against his mother's wishes (she views her as "just a little Indian girl").
Then there is Esperanza Clemente, the midwife. She has been selfless her entire life, ever since she was raped when she was young. Since then she has felt that she did not deserve happiness, not a "ravaged woman". She and Raphael had always been interested in each other, and when his mother finally moves out, they begin to go on dates. But when Esperanza tells Raphael that she had been raped once, Raphael walks away, in shock. But he soon apologizes, and they get married.
Next there is Cesar Burgos, the fisherman. His wife and two sons died not long ago in a bus crash. He had but one son left, and he would not speak to his father. Cesar felt awful and helpless with his son. He'd take him fishing, but still, not a word from the boy. Cesar finally broke down and cried, thinking he's a bad father, and telling the boy he'll give him away to his sister.
But the boy simply tells his father that he blames himself, and that is why he could not speak. They console each other, and they finish the memorial that the father had constructed to remember their family by. They place it at the site of the crash, and hug.
Finally there is Justo Flores, the birdman. He gives people fortunes and puts on little shows for children with his bird.
But he is a lonely old man with a fake smile. He has two former wives and grown up children whom he never talks to anymore.
They won't speak to him. The most he can do now is try to help other people by entertaining them for a short while.
All in all, this book is one that interweaves many peoples' stories into a single tale of hopes, triumphs, shortcomings, and failures to form an impression of a world in which destiny can hinge on the smallest of actions.

When I was given the opportunity to review Vienna's Last Jihad, I jumped on it because it is the kind of book that I miss reading. You see, I spent many years studying history, focusing on the conflict between Christianity and Islam, so finding a piece of historical fiction along the lines of my studies was very exciting. Since the majority of what I know about the conflicts between Europe and the Middle East comes from the Crusades, so the history surrounding the events of the story was mostly new to me.
I'm on book 4, Fourth Comings, and I actually have the rest of the books on my shelf. I'm just waiting until I'm in a book slump to use these as my rescues because I know they will be good.
I'm on book 27, Salvation in Death. I like to take a break every few books, because while Nora Roberts is amazing, she does get a little repetitive. One of the best parts of this series is the relationship between Roarke and Eve, of course, but Eve's relationships with her fellow cops and friends are just as great. Because of this series, Susan Ericksen is currently my favorite narrator. She just does a stellar job on this series, and I can't imagine reading these books any other way. I would get so sad to not hear her inflections if I actually read the print version.
Ever since Sir Walter Raleigh's settlement in Virginia was abandoned in 1587 its fate has remained a mystery; The Lost Duchess explores what might have happened to the ill-starred "Lost Colony" of Roanoke.

What is the Precautionary Principle? Better Safe Than Sorry
By R Blank
While there is a tremendous and growing body of scientific evidence regarding the health effects of EMF radiation, there remains a great deal of uncertainty about which specific exposures will cause which specific diseases in which populations. So how can we best approach the question of creating safer and stronger EMF regulations? The precautionary principle presents a compelling alternative vision for how to view and manage the risk presented by our wireless devices.
What Is Conclusive Proof?
Taking Action Before There is 'Definitive Proof'
What is the Precautionary Principle?
The Precautionary Principle & EMF Radiation
Applying the Precautionary Principle in Your Personal Life
When you deal with EMF issues, you'll hear this phrase all the time. There's no 'conclusive proof' or 'definitive proof' that EMF is harmful.
As just one example, the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) explains in their primer on the risks of cell phones:
Current scientific evidence has not conclusively linked cell phone use with any adverse health problems.
It is true that science has not conclusively linked cell phone use with health risks. For something to be conclusive, it must be incontrovertible. But what does that actually mean?
While it sounds cut-and-dry, the term 'proof' is actually a tricky one. And it has multiple meanings. In logic and math, for example, you can actually prove something. 1 + 1 = 2. That's a provable statement. Definitively.
But when you actually think about it, you'd be surprised at how few things in life can be definitively proven. For example, in a court of law, you don't seek 'definitive proof'. Instead, you seek proof 'beyond a reasonable doubt'. And that's why we sentence people to prison without definitive proof.
Just like there's no concept of definitive proof in law, neither is there in science. In science, proof means "I've performed an experiment; here are the results; you and others can attempt to repeat and verify the work; here's my theory to explain the observations."
What's more, scientific proof is often overturned by subsequent generations of scientists. This is how science grows and evolves, along with human understanding. But just because certain information does not constitute definitive proof, that does not mean that the information is inaccurate, misleading, or unreliable.
What's more, governments and regulators have repeatedly taken action in the absence of definitive proof, based on a preponderance of the evidence.
In the United States, for example, the 1966 Endangered Species Act applies a standard of evidence that is less than scientific proof, in order for the Fish and Wildlife Service to designate a species as endangered; after all, once we have definitive proof that a species is extinct, it's too late to prevent extinction.
The US 1966 Endangered Species Act uses the Precautionary Principle to designate a species as endangered before it's too late.
Going back a bit further in history, we can look to West Germany in the 1970s. At that time, their great forests were dying, and the lead culprit was industrial pollution.
Eventually, research studies would reveal the link between industrial pollution, acid rain, and deforestation. But at the time West German was facing devastating deforestation, those links were not yet conclusively proven.
Despite the lack of definitive proof, the country passed the Clean Air Act of 1974 to limit industrial emissions. And in doing so, the Germans adopted a new approach to countering environmental risks.
The German approach to environmental regulation since the historic passage of that act is known as Vorsorgeprinzip (literally, the 'Precautionary Principle').
Both the 1966 Endangered Species Act in the US, and the West German Clear Air Act of 1974 are examples of what has become known as the Precautionary Principle.
The Precautionary Principle instructs us that, in the face of serious threats, a lack of scientific certainty never justifies inaction. As the United Nations-hosted 1992 Earth Summit explained in the Rio Declaration:
Where there are threats of serious or irreversible damage, lack of full scientific certainty shall not be used as a reason for postponing cost-effective measures to prevent environmental degradation.
The precautionary principle is defined by these key elements:
Those in authority must anticipate harm before a harmful activity occurs.
It is the responsibility of those doing an activity to show that the activity will not result in significant harm.
Those in authority must act to introduce cost-effective control measures to prevent or minimize harm resulting from the activity, even in the absence of scientific certainty.
The need for control measures increases with the degree of uncertainty and level of possible harm resulting from the activity.
The Precautionary Principle is an environmental policy designed to protect citizens from potentially adverse environmental influences, in the face of incomplete information about the risks these influences present. Per the principle, the estimated costs of immediate action must be compared with the estimated potential cost of inaction. If the potential cost of inaction is plausible, significant and irreversible, we should act.
In other words, the Precautionary Principle is how policy makers say what we all learned as children: "it's better to be safe than sorry."
Another expression of the precautionary principle comes from the 1998 Wingspread statement, which reads in part:
When an activity raises threats of harm to human health or the environment, precautionary measures should be taken even if some cause and effect relationships are not fully established scientifically. In this context the proponent of an activity, rather than the public, should bear the burden of proof.
Let that sink in. When the risks are so high, it should not be the burden of the public to prove definitive harm of an activity (or a product)– instead, it should be the responsibility of the maker of the product to prove that it is safe.
Take a moment to imagine if the Precautionary Principle had been applied to tobacco. How many lives would have been saved had the burden of proof been placed on the cigarette makers to prove that smoking was safe, when the first science emerged linking smoking to lung cancer and other diseases?
That is just one example discussed in Late Lessons from Early Warnings (first published in 2001, and updated in 2013), which analyzes the use, misuse and neglect of the precautionary principle at many different times in history. Late Lessons provides a guide to evaluating large and complex environmental threats, balancing the cost of inaction against the cost of action.
'Late Lessons from Early Warnings' was updated in 2013, demonstrating "how damaging and costly the misuse or neglect of the precautionary principle can be."
And so now we return to the question of EMF safety standards and regulation.
As one approaches the question of regulating EMF emissions and exposure, the Precautionary Principle can provide an instructive perspective.
Currently, the World Health Organization (WHO) advocates a 'weight-of-evidence' approach to evaluating EMF science.
The existence of biological effects and health hazards can only be established when research results are replicated in independent laboratories or supported by related studies. This is further strengthened when:
– there is agreement with accepted scientific principles
– the underlying mechanism is understood
– a dose-response relationship can be determined.
Instead of considering the long-term costs of the potential risks of EMF radiation, the WHO advises that safety standards should be based on definitive proof. This is the exact opposite of what the Precautionary Principle advises.
The science on the health risks of EMF is not incontrovertible. While the body of science in this area increasingly shows there to be a wide array of potential health hazards resulting from EMF exposures (from activities such as using your cell phone) there are other studies that demonstrate no adverse health effects.
But, while there is no 'definitive proof' that EMF causes brain tumors, for example, there is 'very large, extremely serious and worrisome, scientifically accepted, peer-reviewed evidence' that cell phone radiation is carcinogenic.
And yet, the proliferation of wireless devices and technologies continues to grow at an exponential rate.
Unfortunately, as Late Lessons from Early Warnings demonstrates, history shows us that it can take 30 to 100 years between the first "early warning" signs and the regulatory action taken to protect public health. This is because science takes time. As one regulator explained, "50 years must pass to determine whether an adverse event directly related to the use of cell phones would crop up in any individual."
By the time we have conclusive proof, there may well be widespread and irreversible damage.
So, you have a choice: do you want to wait half a century or longer for "conclusive evidence" to emerge to incontrovertibly prove the link between EMF exposures and negative health outcomes?
Or, based on the increasingly worrying evidence demonstrated by numerous scientific studies, do you want to take precautions and reduce your exposures to this force that the World Health Organization designates as a Class 2B Carcinogen?
Don't be fooled by "conclusive proof". It's a canard used by the wireless industry to delay the creation of EMF safety standards that would make us safer, and harm their profits.
And this is why people should take action. Even before we have 'definitive' proof.
Wireless devices increasingly surround us. Do we want to wait 50 years for "conclusive proof" of their risks?
And while we wait for regulators to strengthen EMF safety standards, you do not need to wait to adopt the precautionary principle in your own life.
In fact, this principle forms the basis for all of the SYB Healthy Living Tips, which are all ways that you can have a safer relationship with your technology. And it's why I always say, the best EMF protection is free.

Singer/songwriter and pop vocalist Curt Anderson has just released Every Moment Vol. II. Curt spoke to LTTM about his background in making music, the new album, and making a difference to people's lives.
Well, how far back do you want to go?! I started my life in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, did most of my elementary and high school years in Ithaca, Michigan, and studied music business at Anderson University in Anderson, Indiana (Despite my last name, they strangely never give me key to the city.). Music is one of the only things I've ever wanted to do, so I've been trying to figure out how to make it happen ever since I recorded my first CD and sold it in the halls of my high school. I charged $5 and made a few hundred bucks - enough to pay for prom for my date and me. Growing up, I did everything musically that I could. I was in the school band; I did the talent shows; I played and sang in church and youth group. If it was something with music, I was involved.
This is the kind of album I'd love to get from my favorite artists. It's got some new songs I'm stoked about, plus a couple new mixes of some songs from the first record, and you get a look into the songwriting and production process with original worktapes - in all their rawness - from when the songs were first written. There are also some demos of songs taking shape in production, prior to the final versions on Every Moment and Every Moment Vol. II. I've always loved hearing how a song is written and produced, and when I've come across early demos or worktapes of my favorite songs, that's so fun to listen to. Hopefully people will enjoy that look into the writing of my songs.
Man, I don't even know where to start. There are a ridiculous number of songwriters I dig. I'm thankful to have already gotten to work with so many of the best writers in Nashville, many of whom I looked up to and dreamed of working with. And those writers have in turn made me a better writer. But to narrow it down to one, it would have to be Ryan Tedder from OneRepublic. I've followed his work as an artist and writer ever since I stumbled upon "Apologize" on MySpace 12 years ago. He's prolific, with distinguishable characteristics, yet continually pushing for what's next while never getting in the way of a song or artist. It's all about the song and using his gifts to help that artist's talents shine, whether it's his own band or the countless other artists he's written for. That's a key characteristic of a great writer.
I've always been a huge fan of Top 40 radio. I love clever hooks, instantly catchy melodies, big beats that you feel in your body, and vocals that have interesting rhythms and cadence. Michael Jackson's Dangerous was the first album I ever bought; I love songs like "Black & White," "Heal the World," and "Will You Be There." But on his albums - and practically every other one I've ever purchased - it's rare for me to enjoy the whole album. I quickly find the handful of songs I love, so that's the mentality I have when writing. I want to write music the same way I consume it. So almost all of what I write is written with radio in mind.
Success looks different every year, I think. Nine years ago, success was getting to write with Grammy & Dove Award-winning writers soon after I moved to town. Six years ago, success was being able to leave my part-time job as a lifeguard and support my family full-time with music. Sure, it's meager at times - you learn to use the good months to sustain the low months - but how many artists never even get to call themselves a "full time musician?" I try to keep that in mind on the frustrating days. These days, my success includes having three Top 5 songs around the globe and I've gotten to visit almost 40 countries so far - some of them a couple dozen times. Long term, success is getting to do what I love in a way that provides a comfortable life for my family, while making sure I'm a present and engaged husband and father. And hopefully all the while, the contribution I make to the world around me makes a difference in people's lives.
I don't know that I really have a favorite of all time from start to finish, but again I'd have to say Dangerous by Michael Jackson. His voice and melodies have had such an influence on me, even early on in life. In third grade, his song "Black and White" taught me how music helps amplify moments. I had this little basketball hoop attached to a doorway in our house. I'd crank the intro of "Black and White" like I was being announced onto the court, then start my run to the hoop as the song started. And his vocal style and unique cadences - the way he would use vocal sounds and stutters as part of his melodies - I learned that it's not just about the actual words that are used, but how they're used to draw in the ear. Say something of value, but make it cool, too.
What does the next year hold for Curt Anderson?
If only I knew! I'll keep touring the globe, logging a few hundred thousand miles in the air throughout the year, and I'll likely be closer to visiting 50 countries by years end. I'll continue writing and growing creatively, and I'll try to be a better husband and father every day. We'll see what opportunities God provides and where it all goes, but I have no intention of slowing down. I love and am thankful for what I get to do.

Cap Sport
Term for a player's appearance in a game at international level
Sports cap awarded to a Perth Academy schoolboy in Scotland in the 1930s
In sport, a cap is a metaphorical term for a player's appearance in a game at international level. The term dates from the practice in the United Kingdom of awarding a cap to every player in an international match of association football. In the early days of football, the concept of each team wearing a set of matching shirts had not been universally adopted, so each side would distinguish itself from the other by wearing a specific sort of cap.
An early illustration of the first international football match between Scotland and England in 1872 shows the Scottish players wearing cowls, and the English wearing a variety of school caps. The practice was first approved on 10 May 1886 for association football after a proposal made by N. Lane Jackson, founder of the Corinthians:
That all players taking part for England in future international matches be presented with a white silk cap with red rose embroidered on the front. These to be termed International Caps.[1]
The act of awarding a cap is now international and is applied to other sports. Although in some sports physical caps may not now always be given (whether at all or for each appearance) the term "cap" for an international or other appearance has been retained as an indicator of the number of occasions on which a sportsperson has represented a team in a particular sport. Thus, a "cap" is awarded for each game played and so a player who has played x games, for the team, is said to have been capped x times or have won x caps.
The practice of awarding a physical cap varies from sport to sport. It may be awarded prior to a player's debut or, particularly for national teams, a commemorative cap may be awarded after a player reaches the 100th cap.[2][3]
Association football
As an example, the men's association football teams still awards physical caps. Players are awarded one cap for every match they play--unless they play in a World Cup or European Championship finals tournament. Then they are given a single cap for the competition--with the names of all their opponents stitched into the fabric of the cap itself. For example, when David Beckham made his one hundredth appearance for England, because a number of his appearances had been at World Cup and European Championship final tournaments for which he only one cap, he received only his 85th physical cap.[4]
The world record holder for the highest number of international caps as of 5 November 2010 is retired American player Kristine Lilly, who has 354 caps (between 1987 and 2010). In men's association football, the record belongs to former player Ahmed Hassan of Egypt; he surpassed Claudio Suárez with his 178th cap on 27 March 2012. The first footballer to win 100 international caps was Billy Wright of England's Wolverhampton Wanderers. Wright went on to appear 105 times for England, 90 of them he obtained whilst he was a captain.
FIFA rules state that any club that refuses to release a player for national team duty is barred from using the player for two matches, a rule which is intended to discourage clubs from pretending that the player is injured. However, it is a player's choice to refuse to play for or retire from his or her national team.
Some current leading holders of association football caps (as of 8 September 2019) are:
184: Ahmed Hassan, Egypt
178: Mohamed Al-Deayea, Saudi Arabia
177: Claudio Suárez, Mexico
176: Gianluigi Buffon, Italy
171: Bader Al-Mutawa, Kuwait
171: Ahmed Mubarak, Oman
170: Hossam Hassan, Egypt
168: Iván Hurtado, Ecuador
168: Sergio Ramos, Spain
167: Iker Casillas, Spain

As in association football, cricket still awards a physical cap. Caps are awarded both at international and domestic level, however the criteria for winning a cap differs between international and domestic cricket.
In international cricket, a player is awarded a cap for every appearance made. It is common for a player to be presented with their cap in a ceremony on the first morning of their maiden Test match, although a physical cap may not be presented for every occasion on which a player represents his country. International caps are numbered according to the number of players who have represented the country before. For example, cap number 50 is awarded to the fiftieth player to represent the country.[1]
In some domestic cricket competitions, caps are also awarded. However, they are often not awarded automatically for every appearance made, rather at the discretion of the administrators of the club for whom the recipient plays. The most prevalent example of the latter system is in English county cricket, in which many First Class counties award a "county cap" to players.
^ For South Africa, current cap numbers start from their readmission to Test cricket.
As of October 2019, 65 players have won 100 or more caps in Test cricket. The most capped players are:
200: Sachin Tendulkar, India
168: Ricky Ponting, Australia
168: Steve Waugh, Australia
166: Jacques Kallis, South Africa / ICC World XI
164: Shivnarine Chanderpaul, West Indies
164: Rahul Dravid, India / ICC World XI
161: Alastair Cook, England
156: Allan Border, Australia
149: James Anderson, England
149: Mahela Jayawardene, Sri Lanka
Players still active at Test level are in bold type.
In rugby union, 40 players have reached 100 international caps as of 27 Oct 2019. Players from England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland are eligible for selection to the British and Irish Lions touring squad. Lions matches are classed as full international tests, and caps are awarded. The Pacific Islanders team, composed of players from Fiji, Samoa, Tonga, Niue and Cook Islands have a similar arrangement, although no players involved have so far reached 100 caps (Fijian Nicky Little is closest with 71 caps).

SANTA FE, N.M. - Scientists at the Los Alamos National Laboratory are working to perfect a technology that could eliminate the need for travelers to toss their liquids when they go through airport security.
A lab team has combined magnetic resonance with low-power X-rays that together can better distinguish between harmless liquids and those that could be used to make explosives.
The Santa Fe New Mexican reports the goal is to see what's inside an unopened bottle.
Lab physicist Michelle Espy leads the team that developed a device they call the MagRay.
One day, the team's work could mean airport security officers and travelers won't have to worry about rules restricting personal-care items to 3-ounce bottles all shoved into a single clear plastic bag. "No one wants to have the restrictions in place," Espy said in a recent interview.
The ban has been in place since an al-Qaida plot to sneak liquid explosives onto U.S.-bound planes was thwarted in 2006.
The MagRay is the next breakthrough in a machine the LANL team developed in 2008 that used magnetic resonance imaging alone to distinguish between dangerous and benign liquids.
Magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI, is used in hospitals to look at soft tissue for damage and disease.
The LANL team found their earlier machine, called MagViz, was highly effective in determining whether the liquid in a soda can or a shampoo bottle, for instance, was something dangerous.
Now, "MagRay is essentially MagViz plus X-ray," Espy said. "MagViz was extremely good at certain types of liquids, but had trouble with a few like complex mixtures."
The new machine measures the density of protons and the activity of those protons to decipher the chemicals in the fluid. So it can distinguish between a bottle of white wine and a wine bottle that actually contains nitromethane, for example, a clear liquid that could be used to make an explosive.
The team has tested the machine in the lab on everyday liquids and on a variety of substances on a Homeland Security Department "threat list." The agency is helping finance the development.
Espy said the goal now is to make MagRay easy to use, small and fast. Eventually they want an operator at an airport to be able to scan bags and any other containers and have bottles show up as red or green on the screen: Red for dangerous and green for benign.

Brocken (i folkmun även kallad Blocksberg) är ett berg i Sachsen-Anhalt i Tyskland. Berget är 1 142 meter högt och är den högsta toppen i bergskedjan Harz. På toppen byggdes 1936–1937 världens första TV-torn.

Under kalla kriget fanns här också en mycket stor signalspaningsanläggning med vilken östblocket kunde avlyssna stora delar av teletrafiken i Västtyskland. Till Brocken går en bandel av den smalspåriga järnvägen Harzer Schmalspurbahnen.

Berget ligger inom Harz nationalpark.

Vid Brocken upprinner de mindre floderna Bode, Ecker, Ilse och Oder. På grund av bergets position i norra Tyskland ligger toppen över trädgränsen. Sommaren är kort och vintern lång. Nederbörden är genomsnitt 1 400 mm per år.

Andra genomsnittliga väderdata:
 cirka 175 dagar täckt med snö
 85 dagar med temperaturer under 0°C
 årsmedeltemperatur vid 2,9°C
 vindhastigheter upp till 263 km/h

Flora och fauna

Bergets fauna och flora kan jämföras med situationen i norra Skandinavien eller i Alperna. Av träd finns bara enstaka mindre gran. Största delen är täckt med hed. 1890 inrättades en inhägnad trädgård på Brocken där områdets växter visas för besökare. Bland dessa växter kan nämnas en lokal variant av alpsippa (Anemone alpina), hökfibblor (Hieracium), vårbroddar (Anthoxanthum), islandslav (Cetraria islandica) och grå renlav (Cladonia rangiferina).

Nära toppen förekommer även några högmossor med arter av ullsläktet (Eriophorum), av sileshårssläktet (Drosera) och dvärgbjörk (Betula nana).

Även faunan är anpassade till bergets kalla klimat. Fåglar som häckar vid Brocken är vattenpiplärka (Anthus spinoletta) och ringtrast (Turdus torquatus). På sommaren hittas skogsödlan och vanlig groda. Fjärilar som till exempel vitfjärilar (Pieridae) utvecklar bara en generation per år medan fjärilar i låglandet kring Brocken har två generationer. Vissa däggdjur som nordisk fladdermus (Eptesicus nilssoni) och näbbmusarten Sorex alpinus är kvar från senaste istiden.

Blocksberg i litteratur och folktro
Blocksberg benämns i Tyskland åtskilliga berg, på vilka häxorna troddes under valborgsmässonatten samlas för att fira sin årsfest. Berg med detta namn finns i Mecklenburg, före detta Preussen och Holstein. Mest känt är det genom Goethes Faust ryktbara Blocksberg eller Brocken, som utgör högsta delen av Harz. I tyska orter betecknades dock även åtskilliga andra berg såsom häxornas samlingsplatser, utan att de därför erhållit ifrågavarande namn. Så var till exempel förhållandet med Pilatusberget i Schweiz. Jämför Blåkulla.

MLK Labor Endorses Emily Myers and Andrew Lewis for Seattle City Council
Both candidates are active union members and would bring a working-class perspective to the city council
(SEATTLE) — MLK Labor delegates, which are composed of several hundred rank-and-file union members and leaders, voted Thursday night to endorse Emily Myers in District 4 and Andrew Lewis in District 7 for the Seattle City Council.
These are the first candidate endorsements made by the labor council in 2019. MLK Labor will be considering endorsements in all districts throughout the election cycle.
The following statement was issued by MLK Labor Executive Secretary-Treasurer Nicole Grant:
"The Labor community took the rare step of issuing two early endorsements because we believe in the vision that Emily Myers and Andrew Lewis have for creating a more equitable Seattle. Emily and Andrew are both rank-and-file union members and will bring a much-needed working-class perspective to public office.

Ahead of #GivingTuesday, Between Two Pulpits journeys to Los Angeles and Minneapolis

LOUISVILLE — Between Two Pulpits, the weekly broadcast hosted by Special Offerings' Bryce Wiebe and Lauren Rogers, could just about call itself Between Two Coastlines Monday as Wiebe and Rogers hosted respectively from Immanuel Presbyterian Church in Los Angeles and Westminster Presbyterian Church, which is just a bit west of the Mississippi River in Minneapolis.
The two sites are among the four that will be featured during #GivingTuesday, a social media event that will be broadcast from noon through 8 p.m. Eastern Time on Nov. 30. Go here to learn more how to be a part. The livestream schedule is here.
Featured during Monday's broadcast was Immanuel Presbyterian Church, which has hosted a direct service food program for its neighbors since the beginning of the pandemic. Wiebe interviewed the Rev. Andrew Schweibert, the church's transitional co-pastor, and Del Byrne, who's present nearly every day to help the church and its many partners provide up to 600 families with not only needed food but the human touch on three days each week, down from six days per week at the height of the pandemic.
"Del is there every single day," Schweibert said. "We are a well-oiled machine at this point. There is a lot of need out there."
"I have seen a lot of amazing efforts," Byrne told Wiebe and Rogers, including the installation of a cold storage facility in what used to be a church closet. In addition, and with the help of the Presbytery of the Pacific, the church purchased a truck so volunteers can pick up food "and get it to people who need it," Schweibert said.
"It has been a massive benefit to get to know people," Byrne said. "When I listen, people understand that I care, and it takes their defenses down … If I'm not there, people are received in the same way with the same amount of care." That's important, Byrne said, because "it's a hard thing for most people to admit the need to say, 'I am not in control of this particular situation.'"
Schweibert said the church helps provide food to a community that's quite diverse, with Korean, Salvadoran, Mexican, Chinese and North African families living nearby. "I can count in Korean now," Byrne said, calling the service he and other volunteers offer "mutual respect and genuine interest. I am not a customer service representative who goes by a script. We all wish this hadn't gone on as long as it has, but we are glad we are there."
"We can't do this alone," Schweibert said. "We work in collaboration with everyone around us as much as we can."
Asked by Wiebe to clue the audience in on what Schweibert might be preaching on during the second Sunday in Advent on Dec. 5, Schweibert pointed to the Luke 3:1-6 portion of the lectionary.
Luke "begins with the important people," including Pontius Pilate and Herod and the high priests, Annas and Caiaphas, Schweibert pointed out. But Luke soon moves past those bigshots to focus on John the Baptist, who leans on Isaiah 40 to, as Schweibert put it, "preach Isaiah to the people who needed to hear it." While the prophet Isaiah spoke to people in exile hoping to return to the land God promised them, "John preached to people awaiting the coming of the messiah."
"The people coming to our doors are also in a place of awaiting some good news, and we are trying our best to bring them that good news" by "sharing out of the resources we have together," Schweibert said.
"There's a lot," Schweibert said of Sunday's gospel passage, for preachers "to jump off from there."
Rogers concluded the conversation by asking both leaders about their hope for the church. Schweibert said it's that the world might see the church "as a place of hope and light," a place that sheds "light into their lives in their moments of darkness."
"I believe," Schweibert said, "we are doing our best to bring hope into the world around us."
Byrne prefaced his hope for the church by noting that food aid from the government, which was strong during the 2020 election year, slowed considerably after that. Like Isaiah before him, Byrne envisions "a straighter path for helping people." Byrne said he looks forward to the day "that lives can be made easier. You can still sense a bit of a burden on people," even at this stage of the pandemic.
"I'm really grateful for the two of you," Wiebe told Byrne and Schweibert, "and for your witness."

In 3-2 ruling, justices affirm car search in warrant for search of home

COA commitment for woman with anorexia seen as rare
Indiana's chief justice and its most senior justice dissented Wednesday from a decision upholding the admission of evidence in a drug case collected from a vehicle that arrived at a Camby home at the same time police were inside the house executing a search warrant that was limited to the property. A justice who sided with the majority, however, said the split decision is evidence that key caselaw regarding law enforcement searches and seizures may need to be revisited.
The decision in Brian E. Hardin v. State of Indiana, 20S-CR-418 garnered three written opinions that highlighted the challenges law enforcement and courts face in determining whether a search violated a defendant's rights under the Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution or under Article 1, Section 11 of the Indiana Constitution.
Hardin was convicted of dealing in and possession of methamphetamine and sentenced in Morgan Circuit Court to an aggregate 22 years in prison. But he challenged the evidence of 108 grams of crystal meth that Indiana State Police troopers found in a black bag beneath the seat of his truck.
Authorities had been searching Hardin's home pursuant to a warrant while it was unoccupied, and they found evidence of meth and alleged drug transaction ledgers, among other things, before first Hardin's girlfriend and daughter arrived, and later Hardin arrived separately.
After he entered his house, troopers detained him and searched the truck, though the warrant they had didn't expressly allow for the search of vehicles. In the closest of decisions, the majority of the Indiana Supreme Court panel affirmed the decision after an analysis of whether it comported with the three-part reasonableness test of Litchfield v. State, 824 N.E.2d 356, 361 (Ind. 2005). The test balances these factors: the degree of concern, suspicion, or knowledge that a violation has occurred; the degree of intrusion the method of the search or seizure imposes on the citizen's ordinary activities, and; the extent of law enforcement needs.
"The search here did not violate the Fourth Amendment because the law-enforcement officers knew that Hardin owned and controlled the vehicle searched and objectively reasonable indicia showed the same, so the vehicle in this situation fell within the scope of the warrant for the home," Justice Christopher Goff wrote for the majority, joined by Justice Mark Massa and in part by Justice Geoffrey Slaughter.
"The search did not violate Article 1, Section 11 because the high degree of law enforcement concern and moderate law-enforcement need outweighed the moderate intrusion caused by the search, so the search was constitutionally reasonable based on the totality of the circumstances. Thus, we affirm the trial court's admission of the evidence obtained from the search of the vehicle."
Chief Justice Loretta Rush and Justice Steven David dissented, however, and would have aligned with Judge Paul Mathias' dissent when the denial of Hardin's motion to suppress was affirmed by a majority of a Court of Appeals panel.
Under the circumstances, David wrote, law enforcement easily could have obtained a warrant for the vehicle, meeting the presumed heightened protections against auto search and seizures under Article 1, Section 11 of the Indiana Constitution. They therefore had a different interpretation of the Litchfield factors.
"Beginning from this proposition — that it is best practice for officers to obtain a warrant — and ending with the facts that Hardin was no longer a flight risk and the vehicle was not going anywhere, I would find that the extent of law enforcement needs in this situation was extremely low. Though combatting the use and sale of drugs in our communities is certainly of utmost importance, I cannot agree that, on these facts, this factor weighs at all in the State's favor," David wrote in the dissent joined by Rush.
"On balance, I believe the search was unreasonable under Article 1, Section 11 of the Indiana Constitution because, although the degree of concern or suspicion was relatively high, both the level of intrusion and needs of law enforcement weigh heavily against the State. I would suppress the evidence obtained from Hardin's vehicle and remand this matter for a new trial."
Slaughter, meanwhile, wrote in a concurring opinion that the decision in Hardin's case may be an indictment of the Litchfield factors themselves. While he lent the decisive vote in Hardin's case and said he agreed with its analysis, he noted "a recurring problem" with the jurisprudence.
"In the fifteen years since we decided Litchfield, our case reports have ballooned with examples of ongoing uncertainty among litigants and lower courts with how to apply its three factors for assessing whether challenged law-enforcement activity violates our constitution," Slaughter wrote. "This longstanding uncertainty is evident here. Although the underlying facts are undisputed, respected jurists at all levels of our judiciary have arrived at different conclusions about what Litchfield means for Hardin. The nine judges who have reviewed his case have looked at the same facts and applied the same legal standard. Yet we have reached widely varying conclusions about the legal consequence of these uncontested facts. I cannot imagine a clearer sign of precedent in need of reconsideration.
"Under Litchfield, no one can predict how courts will decide a given case with a given set of facts. The resulting uncertainty is not good for law enforcement, which needs clear rules so it can conform its conduct to the law. It is not good for individuals, who need clear guidance on whether law enforcement has violated their rights. And it is not good for courts, which must vindicate these rights. In practice, Litchfield amounts to a legal Rorschach test—an "eye-of-the-beholder" inquiry incompatible with the rule of law. The problem, I submit, lies not with the disputed constitutional provision but with the test we have devised for interpreting it. Like most totality-of-the-circumstances tests that balance multiple factors, Litchfield is not susceptible to a clear application that produces an obvious legal outcome.
"Going forward, I hope the opportunity arises to consider a bright-line rule as a successor test to Litchfield for interpreting Article 1, Section 11— one consistent with our framers' constitution and with the text, history, and structure of this constitutional provision."
