Pilgrims were refugees from English society
The 21 st Century brought with it a realization by many Americans that there is a subtle change in the makeup of the population. An influx of immigrants has been gradually gaining numbers until it seems an overwhelming task for the laws of this nation to be obeyed. Of course, I am talking about the immigrants who are here illegally; those who don't bother to register or attempt to gain lawful citizenship.
A fresh start is all that immigrants desire, if the truth be told. However, this country was built on laws intended to make society work in a civilized
manner. But if laws are not enforced, why bother
making laws to begin with?
Oppression and poverty are two reasons people
to wish to flee their native land. Religious
persecution is another. Most of the first immigrants
to this land, the Pilgrims, believed they had the
chance for a fresh start here, regardless of the risk.
This is likely what the first of these religious
reformers felt as they fled England's shores to live
in the Netherlands. Such a desperate move as
leaving home behind would cause an emotional
rollercoaster filled with fear – and hope.
They were first called Separatists before they
were called Pilgrims. In search of a more purified
religious experience which the Church England
wouldn't provide, they believed the Church of
England was still too much like Catholicism and
not like New Testament churches. "The first
wave of Separatist pioneers—that little band
of believers sneaking away from England in 1607—would eventually be known as Pilgrims," according to the November 2006 issue of the Smithsonian. They "established a network of secret religious congregations" …. "challenging the authority of the Church of England."
These zealots did not dress as did the Puritans, in black and white, with stovepipe hats. Their clothes resembled the English countryside; the earth tones of green, brown and russet corduroy. The magazine goes on to say, "While they were certainly religious, they could also be spiteful, vindictive and petty—as well as honest, upright and courageous, all part of the heritage they'd leave for their descendants in America."
William Brewster and William Bradford, both leaders in the New World, were strangers until they met around 1602, Brewster 37 years of age and Bradford only about 13. Brewster became the orphaned Bradford's mentor, traveling with him to hear the preaching of Clayton Clyfton. The sermons likely consisted of real Bible scripture, how believers had a right to read and discuss the Bible; services were not the domain of a priest, and anyone could speak (pray) directly to God.
When a group of conspirators, assumed to be Catholic, attempted to blow up the English Parliament and with it King James I, suspicion was placed on the Separatists. In 1604 King James issued 141 canons, or rules, which were directly intended to weed out nonconformists in religious beliefs. If one did not obey the rules of the Church of England's laws, James was determined to "make them conform, or I will hurry them out of the land or do worse."
It became dangerous to worship in public so secret meetings were held. However, others took notice if one did not attend the Church of England's services. Even so, it seems these people were resolute in their desire to worship the way they believed God intended.
It was clear they were going to have to leave the country if they were to survive. But they had to have a license just to leave the country. Since that was a tremendous obstacle, they decided to sneak out, which ended in failure. A ship they'd arranged to meet them had a captain who notified authorities, and they were immediately jailed.
Relieved of all their possessions, they were taken to the center of town and ridiculed by the townspeople. Then hauled before a court of sorts, and soon after were released on bail. Since most had sold their homes and property to go to the Netherlands, there was nowhere for them to go.
Another attempt to escape was made a year or so later, but things went bad then, too. The timing of the congregation's arrival went awry, boats got stuck in the mud, some of the men were separated from the women, who were arrested and then released; then a hurricane-like storm blew the ship almost to Norway instead of to Holland.
Others managed to escape in smaller groups, and they eventually were allowed to settle peacefully in Amsterdam and they joined another congregation who'd managed their escape some time before.
Skipping ahead 12 years: In July of 1620, two ships set sail from Plymouth, England but the smaller ship, the Speedwell, developed a series of leaks and the other ship, the Mayflower, turned back with it. Repairs were made and the two little ships set sail once more, only to return to port for more repairs.
Finally 102 passengers aboard the Mayflower, including both Brewster and Bradford, set out for a grueling voyage across the unforgiving Atlantic Ocean. At last, two months later, November 9, 1620, they spotted what we know today as Cape Cod. There anchored at today's Provincetown Harbor, the 41 men on board signed the Mayflower Compact, which years later, John Quincy Adams would call the "genesis of democracy in America." It set the stage for the rule of the land.
With winter upon them, they found sources of food with Native Americans' assistance and they built homes. They made a crop in 1621 and then celebrated what we call the first Thanksgiving after harvest.
Their faith that they were serving an Almighty God helped them survive the journey from religious persecution in England and led them to create a basis for the republic in which we live today. These early Americans brought with them "honesty, integrity, industry, rectitude (morality), loyalty, generosity, self reliance, and a distrust of flashiness—attributes that survived down through the generations."
And so should we ever remember the hardy character of these people and the millions who followed.
I know we all have blessings to be thankful for. Let's not forget the struggles they survived and yet the determination of those who here before us to live a good life.
Help us celebrate Thanksgiving at the Alger-Sullivan Historical Society's Boxcar Barbeque Saturday, November 25. There'll be food and drink and entertainment galore for the whole family, beginning about 9 a.m.. Come help us raise funds for our operating expense to carry us through to the New Year. We'll be glad to see you and you'll be glad you came!

The German-headquartered solar power company posts year-on-year revenue and shipment increases of 5% and 19%, vows to strengthen competitiveness in 2017 with focus on monocrystalline high-efficiency products. Jobs will be lost along the way, however.
SolarWorld, the German solar manufacturer, has released preliminary business figures for 2016 that reveal stable increases in revenue and shipments year-on-year (YOY).
Consolidated revenues reached €803 million in 2016 ($853 million), which is a 5% increase on 2015's €763 million. Shipments hit 1,375 MW, up 19% on 2015's 1,159 MW.
SolarWorld's EBITDA, however, was negative at €-26 million, down from positive €41 million in 2015. Last year's figures include provisions of €12 million that were steered towards longer-term operating activities that will continue to take effect until 2019.
Based on its 2016 preliminary financials, SolarWorld is looking to focus on the development and promotion of monocrystalline high-efficiency products in 2017 as a means of streamlining its competitiveness, the company said in a press statement.
To do so, the firm warns of potential job losses of around 400 between now and 2019 due to considerably decreased expenses in production, sales and overheads. Staff cuts will occur in equal parts production and overheads. However, SolarWorld believes that it can still increase its annual module shipments to 2 GW over that time period.
SolarWorld will, over the course of the year, shut down production of multicrystalline wafers, cells and modules due to their inherent lower efficiencies. Instead, the focus will switch to entirely to the production of mono technology and PERC. In an interview posted on the SolarWorld website, CEO Frank Asbeck said that existing orders for multi will be delivered in 2017, but production beyond these orders will cease.
As reported last week, SolarWorld is already taking measures to "bundle" its production capabilities. This will include grouping crystal growing and cell manufacturing in Arnstadt, and wafering and module manufacturing in Freiburg. These changes, the company believes, will allow it to reach economies of scale faster, reduce redundancies and simplify its production processes.
SolarWorld's U.S. production facility at Hillsboro will continue to focus solely on the production of PERC.


Each ball has thousands of tiny holes, in a honeycomb structure, caused by the production process. These tiny voids help minimize thermal conductivity and make it difficult for heat to pass through each ECA ball.
By adding ECA to mortar and plaster for both exterior and interior use, builders can take advantage of these properties, minimize issues like thermal bridging, and create more efficient, comfortable structures.


Two children – one Indigenous, one white – are told by the Trickster they cannot be friends due to the terms of Alberta's Treaty 7. But the Trickster's words inspire them to prove him wrong. Using history, song, story, dance and puppetry, this inspiring production from Quest Theatre embraces Truth and Reconciliation, forging understanding across cultures.
Relaxed performance on February 17. ASL interpreted performance on February 18. Wheelchair accessible venue. The Mainstage is on the ground floor. It is recommended that patrons using mobility devices call ahead to book tickets. Service animals welcome. Assistive listening devices available on loan. Support persons will receive a complimentary ticket. More accessibility information is available on the Young People's Theatre website.

For the last week or so it has been raining in cairns. A lot!
You may have even seen it on the news, with flooded streets and overflowing dams (oh how the residents of Brisbane must be jealous).
I have been finding it fun because I don't recall the last time I was somewhere that it rained for 4 days straight, and being in the tropics, it has meant that I have been able to go outside in the (warm) rain and jump in puddles and generally exercise my inner child.
There has even been a bit of surface flooding on our lawn, but it's a pretty sandy base with several drains, so it never gets beyond being a centimetre of water covering everything, and certainly doesn't come close to flooding our house.
So all things as they are it's been kind of fun to watch the clouds roll over the hills behind our house looking all grey and rain laden, and a few minutes later to hear the thumping of big fat raindrops on our roof.

Search Results: Heroes of the Faith
Human faces of Toowoomba conflict
Bishop Bill Morris' announcement that he had tendered his early retirement under Roman pressure will arouse debate in and outside the Catholic Church. In these first days of controversy, it may be helpful first to reflect on the impact that the action has on the people most affected by it.
Forgotten Aboriginal war heroes
Paul W. Newbury
In 1790, resistance hero Pemulwuy killed Governor Phillip's convict gamekeeper for his abuse of Aboriginal women. The subsequent Frontier Wars raged for 140 years. Anzac celebrations tend to neglect the many Indigenous Australians who died in defence of their land.
Fixing the priesthood
In earlier generations, Australian priests were treated as tribal heroes. But the sexual abuse scandals and their inept management by Church authorities have dealt lethal blows. The paradigm is broken and needs a full review.
Andrew Hamilton and Peter Steele: boys with writing in their blood
As I reflect back now, I can see the difference between Peter's urge to write and my own. My hero was the master of terseness, Tacitus. But Peter wanted to find words, and ways of putting words together, that could unfold the shape of what lay beyond words.
The gay Jewish butcher and other tales of Israeli conflict
Aaron initially rationalises his sexuality as a test from God, a test that priveleges him, as it gives him an opportunity to prove his resilience. Ultimately his affair with a younger man is rather more serious than simply a rebellion against an oppressive ultra-orthodox society.
Speaking for country, speaking for self
Fr Frank Brennan's address to the Melbourne College of Divinity Centenary Conference, Trinity College, University of Melbourne, 6 July 2010.
Letting Aboriginal Australians speak for themselves
Kevin Rudd stood in the forecourt of Parliament House Canberra and recalled with great emotion the morning on which he had welcomed the members of the Stolen Generations. There was no mistaking his sense of solidarity: he knew there and then what it was to be dispossessed, alienated and outcast.
Anzacs underground
War films tread a fine line if they are to respect the experiences of soldiers without glorifying war. Beneath Hill 60 is the true story of Australian miner-soldiers tasked with tunnelling beneath the front lines during World War I. It is not unkind to the Anzac myths.
The mutant homeless
In comics, the X-Men's 'mutant' powers make them the target of bigotry. They function as a metaphor for homosexuals and other persecuted minorities. In Micmacs, Bazil, ostracised from his 'normal' life by a bizarre crisis, also finds himself on the margins of society.
Getting high on war
Staff Sergeant William James is responsible for disarming bombs laid by insurgents in the sandy streets of Baghdad. For him, the stress of the job is a veritable amphetamine, and he's well and truly hooked.
Tony Abbott, the poor and Jesus
Expressing scepticism about the value of politicians committing to healing social problems, Abbott quoted Jesus: 'The poor you have with you always'. This phrase, used here to diffuse the claim the poor make on us, is much richer in meaning when read in context.
Sympathy for an immoral Arab prophet
From the moment of Malik's imprisonment he finds that if he is to survive, he needs to choose between conflicting evils. His Muslim roots appear from time to time, but while these moments lend transcendence to the film, they give no moral credence to Malik's actions.

US Marine Corps successfully test-fires the new M1122 practice round 20212153
Defence & Security News - United States
US Marine Corps successfully test-fires the new M1122 practice round
The successful test of a new artillery round brings the promise of more explosions and reduced costs for the artillery community after the US Marines of 1st Battalion, 10th Marine Regiment tested the new M1122 practice round at US Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, Nov. 19, 2015.
The new M1122 practice round will provide more explosions and reduced costs for the US armed forces artillery community
The battalion tested the round during a series of demonstrations with several members of the artillery and combat arms communities in attendance in order to solicit feedback on the degree of potential use for artillery training.
Potential inclusion and use of this new round by the Marine Corps came about due to fiscal constraints and rising costs of M795. The M1122 practice round may be used at II Marine Expeditionary Force artillery batteries as early as 2017.
"This round could be beneficial to the Marine Corps because it's going to be a cost-saving initiative," said Lt. Col Mike McCarroll, the operations officer for 10th Marine Regiment. "Artillery ammunition is expensive. This could help us acquire rounds at a third of the cost of the traditional M795 high-explosive projectile."
The implementation of the M1122 training round is under evaluation as a training cost reduction measure, potentially by 2017. The primary training HE round will most likely remain the M795; the Marine Corps is working to determine a suitable mix of M1122 and M795 rounds.
The training round provides the same effective experience as the M795; however, the M1122's low cost allows the Marine Corps to provide more training opportunities and in turn enables Marines to enhance their skills with the M77A7, one of the Marine Corps' largest guns.
"The M1122 practice round is built from recycled shell casings from the dual-purpose improved conventional munition round, which will be removed entirely from the inventory before 1 January 2019," McCarroll said. "We've recycled this round by taking out [some of the explosives] and filling it with concrete and from there we get to take advantage of having an efficient round at a lower cost for training than our current round."
McCarroll added the M1122 is the same weight as the current high explosive projectile so there won't be a great difference on the firing line, but there will be a difference in the scout-observer aspect of training. The training round has about one-seventh of the explosive impact, which allows for the scout-observer to make faster and more accurate adjustments.
The employment of the training round will provide artillery elements throughout the Marine Corps more resources and training opportunities.
"Because the M1122 is so inexpensive in comparison to the M795, the change would allow us more money and training assets," said Cpl. Andrew Williams, a fire supportman with the battalion. "This round would enable us to have a bigger budget by spending less on the ammunition we use and it would be very beneficial."
Williams also stated that with having a smaller projectile, the M1122 performs as it is intended, and it provides adequate training.
No matter the weather, artillery units provide capable fire support whenever they are called upon.
"Our demonstration was done in rain today and that proves that when the skies are rainy and clouds are gray, 24/7 fire support is still available with artillery," McCarroll said.


Looking Unto God For Marriage Restoration.
I've been married for 25 years. I found out that my husband was in an emotional affair with a woman who is also married.
I found text messages and numerous phone calls dating back to May 2015 while myself had been caught by the demon of alcohol. I also had an affair in 2012, my husband filed for legal separation and moved out of our home.
He has absolutely no remorse, only bitterness, anger and hatred in his heart towards me. However he still wants to be physically intimate with me. I am praying and standing for my marriage until I am dead even if I am 90 years old I will be waiting for him to return.
Please help me to pray for his healing and deliverance from this strange woman.

Q: Flex/AS3: removing item from ListCollectionView I used a temporary array to populate a ListCollectionView. Later, I have a screen that displays a DataGrid using the ListCollectionView as a dataProvider. The user can delete a row in the DataGrid by selecting the row then clicking a Delete button.
How can I access the original source that ListCollectionView uses, and delete the item from there?
After I do that, will the item also be deleted from the ListCollectionView automagically, and no longer be shown in the DataGrid (or does something need to be refreshed)?
UPDATE 1
Does the following sound like I'm on the right track? (I want to remove it from the source (is that the ".list"?) of the ListCollectionView, not just from ListCollectionView.)
[Bindable] private var _myLCV:ListCollectionView=new ListCollectionView(new ArrayList());
...
var obj:Object = _myLCV.getItemAt(myGrid.grid.selectedIndex); // get item user selected
_myLCV.list.removeItemAt( _myLCV.list.getItemIndex(obj) );   // delete item from source

UPDATE 2
I'm not sure why (I'm using SDK 4.5.1A), but I seem to need to add the following line of code to the above code in UPDATE 1, for the DataGrid to reliably update and show the deleted row:
_myLCV.refresh();

A: My impulse is to recommend deleting the item from the ListCollectionView using removeItemAt.
If you truly want to access the source instead of dealing with the collection, then it depends what type of ListCollectionView you're using.
If you're using an ArrayCollection you can access the source using the source property.
IF you're using an XMLListCollection, you can access the source using the source property.
There isn't an inherent source property in the ListCollectionView, but the List property may suffice.
In any case, removing an item from the ListCollectionView or the ListCollectionView's source should automatically update the DataGrid.  IF not, you can call the refresh() method on the collection.

A: Spark DataGrid, like other list base controls such as List or even DataGroup, would observe change events from its dataProvider.  The change events may include item removal, update, sort and insertion.  This provides the convenience of updating the control by just updating its underlying data.
That said, if your intent is to "refresh" the datagrid to stay up to date with the LIstCollectionView, by modifying the array and then refresh would rather be unnecessary.

Check Point has announced the release of Check Point Full Disk Encryption for Mac OS X, claiming to be the first vendor the industry's first full-disk encryption solution with pre-boot authentication to support the Mac OS.
Check Point claimed that its encryption products support more end-user platforms than any other products in the industry, from Windows, Linux and Mac OS based laptops to Symbian, Windows Mobile, Palm and PocketPC-based smartphones and PDAs.
"Enterprises and organisations have to secure 100 percent of their laptops and desktops to be fully protected," said Bob Egner vice president of product management at Check Point. "Check Point recognises that Mac OS has an important and growing place in the enterprise and is proud to offer enterprise customers endpoint solutions that cover all platforms and work in mixed environments."
"We're delighted that Mac users in industries like government and healthcare who value high-quality encryption technologies have a strong solution that supports Leopard, the world's most advanced operating system," said Ron Okamoto, Apple's vice president of Worldwide Developer Relations.
Check Point said that Full Disk Encryption was quick and easy to deploy and could scale to any size organisation. Customers benefit from easy to use features and centralised management across diverse operating systems, significantly simplifying the implementation and use of full-disk encryption in mixed environments.
"Rarely will large-scale businesses and organisations have just one endpoint operating system," said Steve Snider, president at Cadre Computer Resources. "Security solutions, like Check Point Full Disk Encryption, that support multiple platforms not only are easier to deploy and manage, but improve the level of end point security throughout the organisation."

Nikko Pass is the most convenient discount ticket for exploring Nikko and its surroundings. We introduce an itinerary for the second day spent in Nikko, which includes a Lake Chuzenji Boat Cruise and visits to the World Heritage Sites.
Nikko Pass - Save on Transportation Costs!
Nikko is an area that boasts both breathtaking nature and a fascinating history which we owe the beautiful World Heritage Sites that made this city famous.
The best way to fully enjoy the charm of this area is by spending at least two days here and using the convenient Nikko Pass. As introduced in our previous article, Nikko Pass comes in two versions - the All Area Pass (4,520 yen), valid for 4 days, which includes a round-trip to Nikko from Tokyo and unlimited bus and train transportation in Nikko, Oku-Nikko and Kinugawa Onsen, and the World Heritage Area Pass (2,000 yen), valid for 2 days, which covers a round-trip to Nikko from Tokyo and unlimited bus and train transportation in Nikko and Kinugawa Onsen. For further details on the Nikko Pass, please check this page.
After spending your first day in Nikko exploring the beautiful nature that inspired the creation of temples and shrines in the area, we recommend spending your second day learning about the rich history of Nikko and visiting the World Heritage Sites of Toshogu Shrine, Rinnoji Temple and Nikko Futarasan Shrine.
After checking out from Chuzenji Kanaya Hotel, take a few minutes to visit Lake Chuzenji Boat House, which is located right in front of the hotel on the lakeshore.
Lake Chuzenji Boat House was built in the 1940s as an international resort. Members of the foreign embassies that owned villas around Lake Chuzenji, as well as tourists, used to enjoy boating, canoeing, and angling here. The facility is now managed by the Nikko Natural Science Museum, housing exhibitions on the fauna and flora of Lake Chuzenji.
The terrace of the Boat House Observation Hall offers one of the best points to view Lake Chuzenji and the mountain range in the distance.
By taking a look at the exhibits, you'll learn more about the features of Nikko's natural environment, especially about the many types of trout inhabiting the lake, as well as about the history of this boat house which has been a socializing place for foreign diplomats and other visitors for a long time.
Fixed holidays No closed days from June to October. In April, May and November, closed every Wednesday (if it falls on a holiday, the following day).
Access 60 minutes by bus from Tobu Nikko Station or JR Nikko Station. Take the bus for Yumoto Onsen and get off at Chuzenji Kanaya Hotel-Mae.
To reach our next destination, the Lake Chuzenji Boat Cruise Station, take the bus departing at 9:39 for Nikko Station from Chuzenji Kanaya Hotel-Mae bus stop. You'll reach Fune no Eki Chuzenji bus stop at 9:45. Don't forget you have to show your Nikko Pass both when you get on and when you get off the bus.
The Lake Chuzenji Boat Cruise is also covered by your Nikko Pass so please show your pass to the staff at the ticket office. See what time the next ferry will leave (10:30, on some days the first ship may depart at 10:00) and get in line.
During the one-hour cruise, you'll hear explanations in English about how Lake Chuzenji was formed through a volcanic eruption of Mt. Nantai, as well as about the features of this lake and of the nature surrounding it.
Passengers can enjoy the cruise either on the deck or from inside the ferry. The ship called Nantai is provided with a private room which can also be reserved in advance. This room can accommodate up to 8 persons, it includes a private deck and offers a great view of the surroundings.
One of the fascinating sights that can be experienced during the Lake Chuzenji Boat Cruise is Kozuke Island, which is said to be housing the grave of the ancient ascetic Shodo Shonin, the founder of Nikkosan.
Shodo Shonin, a monk who lived in the Nara period (710 - 794), came to this area compelled by the vision to build a temple for Buddhist worship in eastern Japan. Once he reached the area that is now Nikko, the ascetic was enraptured by the beauty of this region. In 766, he founded here a temple called Shiunryuji, which is now Rinnoji Temple. In 782, after many hardships, he finally managed to reach the peak of Mt. Nantai and founded a small shrine there which is nowaday's Futarasan Okunomiya Shrine.
Access 8 minute walk from Chuzenji Onsen Bus Stop. 45 minute bus ride from Tobu Nikko Station.
12:45 - 13:45 -- Lunch at Nikko Kanaya Hotel - Arguably the Best Curry Rice in Japan!
After the boat cruise, it's time to leave Lake Chuzenji and Oku-Nikko behind and head to the city. Take the 11:50 bus heading to Nikko Station from Fune no eki Chuzenji bus stop. After a 41-minute ride, get off at Shinkyo bus stop. A few meters away up the hill is our next destination, Nikko Kanaya Hotel, where we suggest stopping for lunch before visiting the World Heritage Sites.
Nikko Kanaya Hotel is one of the most sought-for accommodations in Nikko. Its history goes back to the beginnings of the Meiji Period (1868-1912) when Kanaya Zen'chiro opened his home toward visitors operating it as a cottage inn. It was one of the first facilities to open its doors to foreign tourists during the time when Japan intensified its relations with the West at the end of the 19th century.
Among the famous international guests that stayed at Nikko Kanaya Hotel were J.C. Hepburn, whom we owe the Hepburn style romanization of Japanese words, Isabella Bird, author of a travel book on Japan, and Albert Einstein.
Take a few moments to explore the precincts of the hotel, both inside and outside. Each and every corner is full of history and retro charm.
Our recommendation for lunch is the One Hundred Year Curry Rice menu (2,100 yen) offered at the Craft Lounge, the coffee lounge located on the first floor of the main building. Made from a recipe that is one hundred years old, the curry sauce is so smooth and rich that it might just be the best curry you'll eat in Japan!
After your lunch at Nikko Kanaya Hotel, go past Shinkyo Bridge (which is part of Nikko Futarasan Shrine) and up the stairs toward Toshogu Shrine, Rinnoji Temple and the main hall of Nikko Futarasan Shrine.
All the buildings in this area used to be part of Nikkosan, a large temple-shrine complex that occupied the entire area of Nikko, including Oku-Nikko (the area around Lake Chuzenji). Ever since the first temple was built here in the 8th century, Nikkosan developed as a center for religious worship. Its main feature was the syncretism of Buddhist and Shinto beliefs. Traces of this syncretism can still be found in the shrines and temples of Nikko.
First, we recommend visiting the Sanbutsudo Hall of Rinnoji Temple. Although it is being restored now (*1), access is permitted inside the hall. Here, visitors can see three magnificent wooden Buddhist statues which are approximately 7.5 meters high.
These are the statues of Amiddha Buddha, Kannon Boddhisatva, and Bato Kannon. These holy figures from the Buddhist pantheon have been associated with Mt. Nantai, Mt. Nyoho and Mt. Taro, the three mountains surrounding Nikko. All used to be worshiped as sacred in ancient times.
*1... As of September 2018.
Right in front of the Sanbutsudo Hall is the Treasure Hall and Shoyoen Garden, a Japanese garden built for the head priest of Rinnoji Temple, who, in the Edo Period (1603 - 1868), by tradition was to be elected from among the imperial princes that had taken Buddhist vows.
The lake in this garden is said to be a miniature image of Lake Biwa as it can be seen from Enryakuji Temple, the most influential Tendai sect temple in Japan. The garden is especially beautiful in autumn.
From the many buildings on the grounds of Rinnoji Temple, we especially recommend visiting the Taiyuin Mausoleum erected in honor of Tokugawa Iemitsu (1604 - 1651), the third shogun of the Edo period and grandson of Tokugawa Ieyasu (1543 - 1616) who founded the Tokugawa shogunate and is buried at Toshogu Shrine.
It had been Iemitsu's wish to be buried close to his grandfather, whom he admired deeply. It is said that, out of respect for Ieyasu, Iemitsu wanted for his mausoleum to be decorated in a rather subdued manner.
Although Taiyuin does not have the opulence of Toshogu Shrine, it is nonetheless a magnificent building. Do take the time to explore it on the inside and its surroundings which are full of Buddhist art and objects with a fascinating historical background.
Access From Tobu Nikko Station or JR Nikko Station take the "World Heritage Sites" bus for 10 minutes. Get off at Shodo Shonin-Zo Mae bus stop.
Treasure Hall and Shoyoen Garden: Adults 300 yen, Elementary School Children 100 yen.
Toshogu Shrine is famous for housing the grave of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Tokugawa Shogunate (1603 - 1868) which brought peace to Japan after more than a century of internal conflict and political unrest.
The history of this shrine is deeply connected to the history of Rinnoji Temple and the Nikkosan. This is why you'll see a Buddhist five-storied pagoda even after going through the large torii gate that stands at the entrance to the shrine.
Starting with the gorgeous Yomeimon Gate, the Chinese-style Karamon Gate, the Prayer Hall (Haiden) and the Main Hall (Honden), all the buildings on the precincts of Toshogu Shrine are extremely elaborate and beautiful.
No effort was spared to honor Shogun Ieyasu whose rule brought the beginning of a new era for Japan. These buildings are one of the greatest achievements of early Edo Period architecture and art.
The history of Nikko Futarasan Shrine, one of the most influential shrines in Eastern Japan, is also deeply interwined with that of Rinnoji Temple.
The main hall of Nikko Futarasan Shrine is located near Rinnoji and Toshogu Shrine. However, visitors to Oku-Nikko will find buildings pertaining to this shrine all around Mt. Nantai, the main object of worship at Futarasan Shrine.
The deity enshrined here is considered to be the protector of marriages and human relationships. That is why it is a popular shrine for weddings. The sacred Shinkyo Bridge can be crossed by visitors only halfway through, but the couples who get united at Nikko Futarasan Shrine have the privilege to cross it all the way to the other side.
This time we introduced recommended itineraries for a trip to Nikko using the Nikko Pass all area. This pass is good for 4 days, so, after spending one day in Oku-Nikko and the second day in Nikko City, how about heading to Kinugawa Onsen or Nikko Edo Wonderland on your third and fourth days?
Kinugawa Onsen is a resort area with splendid nature and hot springs. We highly recommend a trek along Kinugawa River through the Ryuokyo Gorge, as well as a visit on Monkey Mountain, a place famous for the monkeys that greet the visitors, using the Kinugawa Onsen Ropeway.
As for the 4th day, how about visiting Tobu World Square, an architectural museum with miniature reproductions of 102 famous buildings from all around the world? You could also spend a day at the exciting Nikko Edo Wonderland, a historical theme park. Holders of the Nikko Pass benefit from discount entry fees to these facilities.
Enjoy your trip using the Nikko Pass, the most convenient discount ticket for exploring the Nikko area!

USDA Meat Inspection Activity Remains Strong
By Dan Flynn on September 12, 2012
The USDA mark of inspection for food safety was sought last quarter by farmers raising 35.4 million head of livestock and 2.2 billion birds. Production numbers in USDA's third quarter were not far off from levels achieved during the first half of the year. USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) operates on the federal fiscal year schedule that runs from Oct. 1 to Sept. 31. In the third quarter enforcement report for the three month period ending June 30, FSIS's overall production numbers are not far off from the two previous quarters. FSIS condemned 51,377 pounds of livestock during the quarter, for a total of 172,960 pounds during the year. Poultry carcass condemnations during the quarter totaled over 8.3 million pounds for over 25 million pounds for the first nine months of the year. Detention actions by the FSIS Office of Program Evaluation, Enforcement and Review (OPEER) and the Office of International Affairs (OIA) were both down during the third quarter. OPEER detentions of meat, poultry, and eggs totaled 44,177, a figure it exceeded in the two previous periods. OIA's detention of 139,234 pounds was also a lower number than was achieved during the first two quarters. OPEER issued 241 warnings in the first quarter, 263 in the second and 261 in the third quarter for a total of 765. During the third quarter, FSIS conducted more than 1.5 million "verification procedures" with a 98.3 percent compliance rate. This means the agency documented 26,619 incidents of noncompliance. The quarter enforcement report also includes lists of plants were FSIS took administrative actions, including suspensions. Fresno-based Beef Packers Inc. was suspended on May 15, but it was held in abeyance the same day. The decision apparently stemmed from interference or assault of meat inspectors. Cargill Value Added Meats in Springdale, Arkansas spent August 4 to August 10 on suspension for issues involving sanitation, hazard analysis and critical control point planning and operating procedures. Farmland Foods Inc., Monmouth, IL and JBS in Souderton, PA were both suspended one day and reinstated the next. And JBS at Hyrum, UT was also suspended and reinstated all on the same day.

Locating underground utilities is becoming more of a challenge as the vast array of lines in the ground continues to increase. As the ground under our feet becomes more congested with utility lines, it's vital to identify the location of utilities — gas, fiber, water, telecommunications and sewer — to ensure the safety of your crew and protect your bottom line.
"These signals help identify the exact location of an underground utility." Many utilities transmit a signal, and in some cases each line can have a different signal just like radio stations. However, some lines do not transmit a signal. In these cases, a transmitter can be used to induce a signal onto a metal line, which allows the locator to pick up the signal.
There are basically two locating methods — active and passive. Active locating involves searching for a specific line using either the direct connection or inductive method. The locator is either attached directly to the line or, if you cannot make a direct connection to the line, a frequency is selected and induced into the ground and reradiated by the utility. Passive locating is a method used by contractors to check the area for unknown lines. The contractor will simply sweep the area with the receiver looking for utilities that radiate or reradiate frequencies, but this method does not allow the operator to distinguish between the types of lines.
The industry offers two types of locators — single- and multiple-frequency units — to accomplish active and passive locating. Each unit has its advantages and limitations.
Single-frequency locators have been around for decades. These systems consist of a transmitter that is placed on the ground and induces a single high-frequency signal. The signal is picked up by the underground line and then radiated back up to the receiver. Single-frequency systems work well on lines and pipes in non congested easements, but putting a high frequency into the ground has the tendency to light up everything underground and may produce a distorted signal. In other words, you cannot distinguish whether it is a power, gas or communications line. The other limitation is that single frequency locators cannot determine the depth of the line. Since lines and pipes are constructed of different materials (copper, aluminium, iron, steel, etc.), a higher or lower frequency may do the best job of locating them. Multi-frequency systems allow you to tune the frequency you are putting into the ground to the type of line or pipe you are trying to locate. The lower the frequency, the better it will stay on the line you are trying to locate, thus making the job of distinguishing a gas from a waterline easier. Some locators offer a current measurement index that measures the current you are putting onto the line. This helps distinguish the line, especially if it crosses over another line, and helps ensure you are staying on the original line to be located and are not jumping to other lines in the area. Most modern receivers today can also estimate the depth of the line or pipe at the push of a button. The locator measures signal strength and uses an algorithm to convert this information into an estimated depth. However, interference can distort the depth estimate. Despite the possible inaccuracy, the estimated depth gives the contractor an idea of the location of the line or pipe as they hand dig or excavate the area with a vacuum. If a contractor is conducting the active method of locating, there are different ways to put the locator signal on the line or pipe. Direct connection is the most common connection method in the industry. This allows workers to connect cable leads, similar to jumper cables, to the line or pipe to be located and generate an alternating current down the cable or pipe. The only issue with this method is gaining access to facilities. If you are not a contract locator or subcontractor for the telephone company, you cannot legally open up a telephone pedestal and clip onto the line. To overcome this challenge, contractors can use a locator with good inductive capabilities. Inductive locators induce the signal into the product. The inductive method requires the user to set the transmitter on the ground. A signal radiates down through the ground onto the cable and eliminates the need to connect clamps or coils to the line or pipe.
While locator technology has not changed much in the past five years, several manufacturers are adding enhancements to help provide a clearer signal and tie the locates to GPS coordinates. Virtually all manufacturers are putting more power into their utility locators. While this extra power does not enhance the accuracy of the unit, it does provide a clearer and higher-quality signal. Many manufacturers have also made advancements in their receiver software to help filter out the extra noise in the ground and air, helping to provide a more accurate signal and reading.
The other trend occurring in the industry is linking the locator with GPS devices and mapping the utility line with latitude and longitude coordinates, thus providing an accurate location of the line for future reference.

Zimbabwe: A shtetl in Africa
In 1894, 21 Jewish traders and former expeditionary force soldiers gathered in the tent of Messrs. Moss & Rosenblatt to form a congregation in Bulawayo, a sun-blistered town of tin and wooden shanties with roads that were little more than sand paths.
Dwindling from 7,500 Jews in the 1970s - about 80% Ashkenazim - today's community numbers only about 200. A small number of them are residents of the Bulawayo retirement home, Savyon Lodge.
In a Jerusalem Post article by David E. Kaplan, a July 11 reunion for former Zimbabweans in Israel may exceed the number of their countrymen back home. Some 700 former Zimbabweans now live in Israel.
Dave Bloom describes his community as a "shtetl in Africa," and believed it was time to "preserve the past before nothing was left or no one alive to tell the story." He started collecting material which is available here.
Bloom visited archives, made copies of newspaper articles, meeting minutes and photos. He found recordings with early Jewish pioneers, unpublished manuscripts and much more. Of Polish ancestry, he was determined to document all the Jewish graves in Zimbabwe; so far more than 4,500 headstones have been published and former Zimbabweans have contributed more than 250 family biographies.
Englishman Daniel Montague Kisch was the first Jew to feature in the history of Rhodesia. By 1860, he had become a prospector. "and so joined the expedition of diggers, mainly Australian, on the wearisome trek to a golden will-o'-the-wisp on the Tati Fields." Another English Jew was Moss Cohen.
Before its posting on Bloom's Web site, very few had seen Rosenthal's monumental work, commissioned by the Rhodesian Jewish Board of Deputies in 1949. Since its completion, it attracted little else than dust. "Very few even knew of its existence. Gems were coming out of the woodwork," Bloom told Metro. People all over the world were dusting off the past to reveal a treasure trove of Jewish history in central Africa, much of which is now available on his site.
There were also Sephardic immigrants. From Morocco, Marvyn Hatchuel; Behor Benatar from Rhodesia via Rhodes, as was the Alhadeff family.
Wandering off, Hatchuel continued, his father found himself pounding the port area of Alexandria. A ship bound for east Africa grabbed his attention and on the spur of the moment he bought a ticket to Mozambique. Disembarking at Beira, Hatchuel had insufficient money to pay for any further passage. So the young Moroccan followed the railway track and walked the breadth of Mozambique until he crossed over into Rhodesia and completed the last stretch to Penhalonga. "I believe when Behor Benatar saw my father enter his store, he nearly collapsed. Anyway, he gave him a job. At night and under candlelight Dad would sit with a dictionary and a newspaper and in that way taught himself English," Hatchuel related.
The reunion of former Rhodesians and Zimbabweans will be a brunch at 9.30am Friday, July 11, at the Ra'anana Lawn Bowls Club.

Dustin Johnson opened 2017 by taking a flamethrower to the competition, placing inside the top 6 in seven of eight events (including wins in Los Angeles, Mexico City and Austin). Since his freak back injury on Masters eve, it's been a different tale for the World No. 1, with zero top 10s in his last five appearances.
Speaking with the media at this week's RBC Canadian Open, Johnson admitted he's not fully healthy from the staircase incident.
While Johnson finished runner-up at the Wells Fargo Championship in his return from injury, he's struggled as of late, missing the weekend at the Memorial and U.S. Open. And though he showed signs of life at Royal Birkdale, he ultimately finished outside the top 50. It's his worst three-week stretch on tour since the winter of 2013.
Johnson also conceded that he's not just battling physical elements.
"Mentally, little lack of confidence. Just because I was playing so well leading into that," Johnson said. "Probably for 10-to-12 months leading into the Masters, a year into the Masters, I was playing really good golf."
But, though his final-round 77 was the worst Sunday score at the Open Championship, Johnson said he's happy with his progress. More importantly, this week's venue, Glen Abbey, is a place where the 33-year-old has enjoyed success in the past, with runner-ups in his last two appearances.
"It's been a bit of a struggle, but I've put a lot of work to get back to where I was," Johnson said. "And I'm starting to see signs of it. It's all good, it's all positive and it's all moving forward."
Johnson tees off on Thursday at 1:25 PM with Jhonattan Vegas and Jim Furyk.

Is it real solidarity?
The current local Latvian economic and financial crisis is deeper than in most of Europe. Why? As many would agree, first of all it's more a moral crisis triggered by greediness of some financial circles and political irresponsibility of the two last Latvian governments, the former one and this one. Unfortunately, there was very little change. As we know, last December the government said that there would be cuts across the board, reducing expenditures on average by 15 's 20 percent and substantially increasing VAT, either from 18 to 21 percent, from 5 to 10percent, or from 5 to 21 percent, for instance in hospitality services and publishing including books and printed press.
But as we saw on Jan. 26 in Diena, the wage of the Prime Minister in January was 2,385 lats, compared with 2,162 lats in January 2008. The same goes with regards to the average salaries of Ministers 's this January 2,147 lats, but a year ago 's 1,944 lats. At the start of February it was said the State Treasury was to blame for the negligence.
On Dec. 22, 2008 the Cabinet of Ministers and the Ministry of Culture passed a decree ruling that the funding for music and art schools is to be slashed by 29 percent. In an open letter, these school teachers said it was equal to a death blow to their system. They might be right. Further, the government increased from Jan. 1 the VAT for books from 5 to 21 percent, while at the same time on Dec. 30 the Minister of Culture signed an agreement on the building of new concert hall which would cost around 8 million lats, but fortunately the deal was later cancelled. How would you deem such government steps?
In times of distress the culture should be last thing they lay their fingers on. By cutting funding for state radio and TV, they are going to save some 5 million lats, or a bit more, but is it really a responsible measure? As we see in France and Israel and S.O. countries, right now their governments are increasing spending on culture, and they are right. In hard times it's the right thing to do. Because if there is no culture, there is no nation. During tough times the culture can be the source of inspiration and a relief for everybody.
Secondly, is it good solidarity to cut expenses across the board? We can't compare Ministers salaries to the ones of ordinary residents. It is not the same to cut 15 percent off the wages of 2,000 lats or 200 lats. But our Cabinet of Ministers apparently holds another view on this. Today our Latvian government does next to nothing to protect the most vulnerable strata in society. On the contrary, it seems they don't care at all. I don't know how much they are expecting to get on the increase of VAT on medicine but it is really hard hitting for the pensioners, disabled and other needy people. It must be noted that the cost of medical care after joining the EU has virtually skyrocketed, it beats all the other living costs. It's very tragic for the most poor.
When there is a crisis like this one, first and foremost task of political leadership is to take care of the ones who themselves are not able to do it. The hard times show how morally and mentally healthy is respective society and if the stronger and wealthier 's and especially the leadership 's fail to be responsible, then it's real tragedy for the whole people. In our case it's all about Latvia.

Game Preview: San Antonio Spurs at Memphis Grizzlies
The Spurs and Grizzlies are set to duke it out again tonight
By Tanner.Bowen Jan 11, 2023, 6:58am CST
Share All sharing options for: Game Preview: San Antonio Spurs at Memphis Grizzlies
Petre Thomas-USA TODAY Sports
Monday night everything that you could want from the Spurs during this trying season. They hung with the Ja Morant-less Grizzlies all night when the two teams met in Memphis Monday, holding their own on offense against the league's best defense and even taking the lead at one point in the fourth before the Grizzlies were able to wrest back momentum. Even playing without their 2 best players, the Spurs showed up and competed for the full 48 and while no one expected the Spurs to win many games this year, Pop's crew is still getting up to play and turning out gems like Monday's game.
With Morant set to potentially miss a third straight game with a thigh injury, the Spurs will have another chance at playing spoiler to a Memphis team that is hoping to make a run this spring.
San Antonio Spurs (13-28) vs Memphis Grizzlies (27-14)
January 11, 2023 | 7:00 PM CT
Watch: BSSE | Listen: WOAI (1200 AM)
Spurs Injuries: Devin Vassell (knee - OUT), Keldon Johnson (day to day)
Grizzlies Injuries: Ja Morant (day to day), Danny Green (OUT), Brandon Clarke (knee - OUT)
The Spurs, who have the worst defense in the league based on defensive rating, gave up 72 points in the first half to Memphis on Monday night. They fell behind double digits to begin the game and spent the rest of the night playing catch-up. A good, clean start to the game is key if the Spurs hope to pull off an upset on their way out of Memphis.
"The Battle of the Brothers, Round 2," kicks off tonight, as Tre Jones has another chance this week to try outscore his big brother Tyus. The elder Jones , who has been getting the starting nod for Memphis with Morant sidelined, won the first battle with 24 points compared to 18 for Tre.
Spurs rookie Jeremy Sochan had a rough shooting night in the first game, going just 2/11, but it was yet another fascinating night watching him. On more than one occassion, it appeared as though Sochan was trying to throw down a slam on Memphis' Jaren Jackson Jr. Perhaps tonight he'll actually get one of those attempts to go in over JJJ, who is currently the league leader in blocks per game. Jackson finished with 5 blocks against the Spurs on Monday night.
Another one of the Spurs' rookies, Malaki Branham. has scored in double figures in 3 consecutive games. The 19 year old guard hopefully has a long NBA journey ahead of him, but he seems to be getting comfortable with putting the ball on the floor and getting shots up 3 months into his first NBA season. Check out PtR's Noah Magaro-George's latest film breakdown on Branham ahead of tonight's game:
Steven Adams, who somehow is still not 30 years old, led all players with 15 rebounds Monday night. Adams is averaging a career-best 11 rebounds a game in his 10th season in the league, ranking just outside the top 5 in the NBA this season.

Winter storm watches issued across eastern
Oca 14, 2022 ice set to pummel eastern US, Winter storm watches issued as incoming snow
AccuWeather forecasters warn that a snowstorm could wreak havoc on a large corridor of the eastern United States over the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend. It will pack hefty snow amounts, significant icing, heavy rain and gusty winds all throughout the Eastern Seaboard and across inland areas.
Winter storm watches were issued in many locations early Friday morning in advance of the snow. Roanoke, Virginia; Charleston, West Virginia; Pittsburgh; and Binghamton and Syracuse, New York are just a few locations where the watches were hoisted before daybreak on Friday. In Roanoke and Charleston, snow may mix with or change to ice for a time during the height of the storm.
An intrusion of cold air behind a potent storm pummeling Atlantic Canada late this week will lead to the winter weather mayhem as a storm dives southward across the Midwest before tracking across the Southeast and making a sharp turn north-northeastward along or just inland of the Atlantic Seaboard.
"It looks like a very strong storm system will unleash very significant snow across the interior parts of the Northeast, especially from the Appalachians up into the high ground of New York state and into northern New England," AccuWeather Chief Meteorologist Jon Porter said. "In some locations, the snow can be measured in feet.
Even though the major winter storm is still a few days away from swinging into the Northeast, confidence is growing among AccuWeather meteorologists as to where the air will be cold enough to support an all-snow event versus one that features a wintry mix and all or mostly rain. As of Thursday, a track just inland or right along the Atlantic coast in the Northeast seems most likely.
In either case, and even though the storm's strength is not expected to reach the magnitude of the Blizzard of '93, the storm from Sunday to Monday has the potential to pack a punch with a period of heavy snow on its cold northwestern flank and heavy rain or heavy snow changing to rain on its warmer southeastern side.
