Paging Winston Churchill.
His emulators include Rudy Giuliani and George W. Bush, and his detractors say he destroyed the British Empire, but as a wartime leader he stands alone.

June 1940, London. The Nazis poised to strike at Britain. The prime minister, Winston Churchill, gravely addresses Parliament. His oratory is stirring, grandiloquent, passionate: "Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duty," the great man intones, "and so bear ourselves that, if the British Commonwealth and its Empire lasts for a thousand years, men will still say, 'This was their finest hour.'" It was one of his greatest speeches.
October 2001, New York City. The aftermath of a deadly, frightening attack, almost instantly compared to the Blitz. Thousands dead. A city in mourning. On the television, a commercial featuring the bright lights and sights of Manhattan flashes across the screen, Mayor Giuliani imploring would-be visitors to "come see New York united in its finest hour."
We are all Churchillians now. And the clichis are flying.
From Bush to Blair, Churchillisms have become a lingua franca for our leaders. "We will rally the world to this cause by our efforts, by our courage. We will not tire. We will not falter and we will not fail," the president gravely declaimed in his address to Congress after the attacks, his words a clear homage to the rolling cadences of Churchill's "we shall not flag or fail" speech before a weary, stunned Parliament in the wake of Britain's ignominious retreat from Dunkirk in the dark days of early summer, 1940. "[Churchill's] words are being mobilized and once more sent into battle," noted one approving historian.
Then there is Giuliani, New York's "Churchill in a Yankees cap," as reporters took to calling him after Sept. 11, adopting one of Churchill's most famous phrases to rally the city (using it as a marketing tool, no less!). And just as Churchill, the gruff epitome of John Bull, visited the bombed-out areas of London's East End during the Blitz, comforting citizens, giving them hope, there was Giuliani, the New Yorker's New Yorker, at ground zero, somber, sober, his resolute determination invariably compared to Churchill's reassuring steadfastness as bombs fell on London 60 years ago.
This is fitting, for Giuliani is a known Churchill buff. In the days after the attack, he took up John Lukacs' book "Five Days in London: May 1940," a blow-by-blow account of Churchill's hard-won decision to fight on alone against the Nazis -- a decision he had to push through over the objections of his own war cabinet, which he wore down through a combination of perverse will, guile and clever persuasion. Even though Lukacs' book is not an account of the Blitz, but rather the circumstances that led to it, it is clear why Giuliani would find much inspiration from its pages. In Lukacs' account, Churchill was the man who wouldn't deal with the Nazis, who wouldn't take no for an answer, who rebuked his critics with stinging eloquence. (Of those who would negotiate with Hitler, Churchill quipped, "An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile hoping it will eat him last." )
The rhetoric is inspiring; his quotations could fill a book, yet we forget that Churchill's now titanic standing in 20th century history has a complicated history all its own. His reputation has been itself a kind of battleground; generations of historians, politicians and critics have contested his actions and dissected his words.
Then again, he was an inviting target. A man of enormous ego (like the mayor of a certain big city), Churchill felt called by destiny, convinced Providence would steer him to greatness. (Jibed one friend after the publication of his history of World War I: "Winston has written an enormous book about himself and called it 'The World Crisis.'") A political opportunist, he switched parties, not once, but twice (Conservative, then Liberal, then back to Conservative). He consorted with shady characters, raffish hacks and the vulgar rich. Were one to overhear a conversation between two Tory MPs about him in the late '20s (after he had gone back to the Conservatives), epithets like "shameless cadger" and "incorrigible scrounger" would pepper the air. Even when he walked onto the floor of Parliament for the first time as prime minister, members of his own party sat on their hands, saving their praise for the man he deposed -- Neville Chamberlain, Hitler's dupe.
Without the Second World War, Churchill would be remembered very differently today. Until he became prime minister in 1940, there was a whiff of failure about him; he was merely near-great. Though he had held almost every portfolio outside Britain's highest office -- 1st lord of the admiralty (secretary of the navy), home secretary, chancellor of exchequer -- he had a long list of screw-ups on his résumé. Perhaps the most notorious of these were the Gallipoli landings, which he planned. The operation was a fiasco, and to this day is still remembered as one of the great failures of World War I.
By the 1930s, books like "The Tragedy of Winston Churchill" were appearing in shops. During those fraught decades -- his "wilderness years" -- he was out of office, working as a journalist and, at least among the ranks of Tory politicians, a lone voice warning against the Nazi menace, "an alarm clock, but [a] rasping one, which made most more anxious to turn it off than to respond to its summons," as Roy Jenkins aptly writes in his new biography, "Churchill." In our own time, "appeasement" is a dirty word; but in the '30s, the appeasers were widely considered honorable men who wanted to avoid another war with Germany. To a great many, Churchill was merely an irresponsible warmonger, a dangerous adventurer hell-bent on drawing Britain into battle to advance his career.
Yet what of Churchill's "finest hour," his leadership in the Second World War? A great many hoary clichis have grown up about his war years. For A.J.P Taylor -- a notoriously contrarian historian of leftist tendencies -- Churchill was nothing less than the "savior of his country." But in recent years there has been much debate about this, his one seemingly unassailable achievement.
Historians have lined up to take their best shots at knocking the man off his pedestal. In 1993, a flurry of revisionist accounts appeared -- most prominent of them the massive "Churchill: The End of Glory," by maverick scholar John Charmley, who argued that Britain's victory came at a steep price -- the loss of its Empire, its financial enslavement to the United States and the Soviet domination of Eastern Europe. In a review of Charmley's book, the Tory rascal Alan Clark argued that Churchill should have negotiated with Hitler (thus preserving the Empire), which set off a blazing row in the British media.
Though Charmley did not put the matter in such stark terms, his book ends on the most skeptical of notes, that Churchill's finest hour concealed the seed of Britain's own decline: "Churchill stood for the British Empire, for British independence and for an 'anti-Socialist ' vision of Britain. By July 1945 the first of these was on the skid, the second was dependent solely on America and the third had just vanished in a Labour victory. [I]t was indeed the end of glory."
But Charmley is hardly Churchill's most noxious scholarly critic. That accolade surely belongs to the notorious David Irving, who has embarked on an epic debunking (published at his own expense) of Churchill's war record. Vol. II appeared earlier this year to a skeptical reception from fellow historians. Harrumphed one Churchill scholar, "In this 1,063 page hymn of hate, it is clear that he has not managed to land one single significant blow on the reputation of Britain's wartime leader." Irving charges, among other things, that Churchill was a drunk (hardly an unknown fact), a liar, connived in the murder of a Polish general, asked for the assassination of General DeGaulle and even exposed himself in front of visiting statesmen! Irving's motivations are complex; but his well-documented admiration of Hitler has in some small part warped the reputation of his own scholarship, as does his barely concealed hatred of Churchill.
Hating Churchill has a long pedigree; the knives have been sharpened, the poison pens ready since the beginning of his career. As many want to tear him down as want to praise him. The politics of the Cold War are an unavoidable subtext in the interpretation of Churchill's war: His single-minded focus on defeating Germany paved the way for the Soviet domination of Eastern Europe, the argument goes. (Churchill, an early strident critic of the Bolsheviks, had a soft spot for Uncle Joe.) However, Lukacs recently put paid to this line of argument. "As early as 1940 (if not earlier) Churchill saw that the alternative was plain," he bluntly wrote in the Spectator, "either Hitler's Germany would rule all of Europe, or Stalin's Russia would rule much of eastern Europe; and half of Europe was better than none. "
Lukacs has an ally in Geoffrey Best, whose recent biography, "Churchill: A Study in Greatness" -- its title is an allusive riposte to a landmark 1970 work, "Churchill: A Study in Failure" -- is an ideal primer for the arguments for and against Churchill. Best's scholarship is incisive, his prose strong, his reasoning sharp. To the latter-day scholar-appeasers like Charmley, Best counters, "Churchill was right to believe that Hitler and Nazism had to be fought to the end, no matter what the cost; and the British people did well to sense that it was better for them and their posterity to follow his lead, even though the road promised to be hard and rough. The war indeed did not work out to Britain's material advantage (which was not in fact aimed at or expected), but Britain remained free, civilized and with a clear collective conscience."
For any historian, it is naturally tempting to refight World War II, and to second-guess Churchill. Yet the scholarly battles over his legacy often resemble clever parlor games: "He should have considered this," "He should have done that," ad nauseam. Revisionism in the service of understanding why leaders took the courses they did should be welcomed. Suggesting alternatives, however, is often a futile exercise.
All the wild conjecturing in the world won't restore the Empire, or change the fact that Churchill rallied an entire nation in a dark time. In his speeches, he took a great risk in not sugar-coating the difficulties of wartime, a tactic that won him even greater respect from the British people; his forthrightness during the war was a bold gambit that paid off. Some years after the war, in a moment of simultaneous vanity and modesty, Churchill remarked, "It was a nation and a race dwelling all around the globe who had the lion heart. I had the luck to be called on to give the roar." That more than anything illuminates how he led, the unique bond this aristocratic toff forged with British men and women from all walks of life.
So as we face our own difficulties, it is hardly surprising that it should be Churchill we invoke. Still, some of the comparisons are a bit ridiculous. George W. Bush, who seems like a boy doing a man's job, is fortunate to have a speechwriting team full of Churchill buffs -- and even so, his invocation of Churchillian grandeur was strained and self-conscious. He will never provide the roar. Giuliani, that great blusterer and bully, hardly trying, easily assumes the Churchillian mantle, proving that the qualities that grate in peacetime can be transformed in time of war.
In the end, Churchill remains a national monument, however tarnished by the work of revisionists and others. He was a man of many flaws who made numerous mistakes, there is no doubt, but to focus on his failings obscures his achievements -- not least of which are his words, the reason why we have turned to him now. What other 20th century statesman possessed such a style? His prose itself is a monument. While he still inspires gushing praise -- Jenkins can't help himself, calling Churchill "the greatest human being ever to occupy 10 Downing Street" -- historians will continue to probe his character, and to try to downgrade his achievements. But the writer of the "Winston Churchill" entry in the "Oxford Companion to British History" has it right: "No attempts to revise or belittle his reputation have yet proved successful."

Prior to 1992, most election maps referenced Republican in blue and Democrat in red. However, after 1992, the media determined that using red for Democrats might be editorially construed to suggest that Democrat politicians and policies were in line with those of Socialist Democrats, which, of course, they are. Notably, with a couple of avowed Socialists in the 2016 election, maybe the media will revert to the old colors.
Below are examples of the previous party colors on earlier maps and a map we recreated in those colors showing the stark contrast between urban Democrat strongholds and grassroots Republicans.


NSS had the most liked content!
The bearers are 70 x 45mm (doubled up at front and rear edges) spaced at circa 470mm centres.
Not really as the bearers are set low so as to minimise the threshold height to make wheelchair access as easy as possible.
There'll be no danger of rats or the like getting under it, and the bricks on which the bearers sit provide a convenient 'lip' to sit the boards on so no need for supporting battens/wire either. It will get damp under there though so main concern is for something that won't absorb moisture and then 'droop'.
Thanks, but need to do it this week so offcuts are probably not an option, and not sure I want all sorts of insects nesting in rockwool or the like.
Building a 'log cabin' in the garden and, having laid the bearers today I'm debating whether to add some under floor insulation. Should be a doddle to fit between the bearers as they're raised on brick padstones (see pic). Question is what (Celotex/Ecotherm/etc) and where to buy cheaply? Only need 3 off 2400 x 1200 x 70mm sheets.
So pleased to hear you're at last starting to feel the benefit @lizzie, you must have begun to wonder whether my accounts of how it's helped Mrs NSS were fairy tales! Yes, if anything she's benefitting more since she was medically retired last year (the osteoarthritis finally did for her efforts to keep working part time) as she spends more time in the 'bubble'.
A little anecdotal addition to this thread (on the original topic rather than kimchi!). My wife had a group of old friends round on Thursday evening, one of whom is an asthmatic. As she arrived she was clearly wheezing and said she was currently on steroids as her asthma was particularly bad at present. Four hours later she left, reluctantly, having not needed to take her inhaler once whilst in our house. As she left, she said to Mrs NSS, I didn't think it possible, but I now see why this place has been so helpful to you.
Just bear in mind that there are times of the year when Solar Gain is good to have. Blocking 70% all year round may reduce the chance of overheating but also means you may need to have heating on when it wouldn't otherwise be necessary.
So long as the insured (rebuild) value is correct they couldn't give a damn, and I could argue that as we never open a window (and hence cannot leave one open accidentally) our house is more secure than many.
It's not cheap, but it is very effective, and has the added bonus that you can still see out of the windows even when fully tinted. As mentioned, not a privacy solution at night when lights are on inside, but we have a fair bit of south-facing glazing and SageGlass does a fantastic job of controlling solar gain. Not sure of current pricing but budget for circa £1k per square metre (excluding frames) and a bit more if any of your glass is (like ours) irregular shapes.


Engineering Man and my's recent trip to Costa Rica made my 30 Before 30 list shrink considerably.
OK, so technically I'm not certified. But, my main goal in getting certified was so that I could go again. And...that we did do!!
#16. Swim in the Pacific.
Never in my wildest dreams did I believe that Costa Rica would be that country, but God works in amazing ways!!
On to the next item on my list!!!
Anyway, very exotic different kinds of trees.


The son of immigrants, Salman 'Sal' Khan was born in Metairie, a suburb of New Orleans, Louisiana. His father was from Barasia, Bangladesh – his mother from West Bengal, India. Sal attended Grace King High School, whose diverse student body ranged from a few students recently released from jail to others heading to the very finest of universities.
For his part, Sal enjoyed playing heavy metal music and was a very bright student. He was one of those Grace King kids heading to a top-notch school. Sal attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, MIT, where he earned multiple degrees in electrical engineering, mathematics, and computer science. Khan would go on to earn an MBA from Harvard Business School.
In 2003, with his degrees in hand, Khan went to work as a hedge fund manager. Around that time, he began tutoring his cousin Nadia. who was struggling with math back home in New Orleans. He delivered his lessons via the internet, using the Doodle notepad program. It didn't take long for more cousins to ask to be also be tutored by Khan. The demand from his extended family became so great that in 2006, Khan opened a YouTube channel and began posting basic videos for his cousins' benefit.
YouTube was in its infancy at the time with videos limited to a maximum of 10 minutes. Khan created a black background and used very simple graphics to create his lessons – also making the decision not to personally appear on camera. Believing that his lessons would only be used by his cousins, Khan left the videos open to the public.
Much to his surprise, Sal Khan soon began receiving comments on his math tutorials, including messages with notes of encouragement and thanks. Not long afterwards, Khan began receiving letters from users. One particular letter was from a mother who stated that his tutorials had helped her two disabled children and that her family was praying for Khan's family.
That letter gave Sal Khan pause for thought as he realized working for a hedge fund wasn't adding a great deal of value to society. Interest grew, to the point that the Los Altos, California school district began a pilot program incorporating Khan's tutorials into their curriculum.
Khan had continued to create and post video tutorials. As the number of tutorials grew, visits to his YouTube channel grew exponentially. By 2009, Khan decided to leave his hedge fund job to pursue his tutorials full time.
Sal's mission was to create a high-quality, world-class education – free for anyone, anywhere in the world. As if that vision wasn't big enough, Khan decided that the key to success was to create a not-for-profit model. Though his doubters and critics were many, his logic was simple. He saw his vision as having the potential to be something significant and permanent. He likened it to the next Smithsonian or the next library system.
With that, Sal Khan founded the Khan Academy.
Working for free, driven by his dream, Sal Khan pursued the development of the Khan Academy at full throttle. His education model was built on a platform of mastery learning. His logic goes like this. The current education model is teach, homework, teach, homework, test. Students with 'passing' grades were moved to the next level, the next grade. However, those scoring a 75 weren't competent in 25% of the content. Even those who got grades of 95%, were missing 5% of the lesson. Being advanced with those shortfalls in learning, would eventually create even greater problems at more advanced levels.
Khan's video tutorials allow students to learn at their own pace, and to learn 100% of the material. Having fully mastered the lessons, allows the next level material to be understood sooner and more completely. In traditional classrooms, students who had advanced faster than others could actually act as tutors, in turn, lessening the burden on the teacher.
Today, the Khan Academy has 200 employees serving 15,000,000 monthly learners in 191 countries. To date, the tutorials have over 1.5 billion views. The Khan Academy has achieved this level of success because it was created by a fearless brand – Sal Khan.
Khan's focus was on adding value to people – to society – by providing free education. His work caught the attention of some very key people. Ann Doerr was one of the first financial supporters, first donating $10,000 to the cause followed by another endowment of $100,000. Arguably the biggest boost to The Khan Academy came from a completely unexpected source.
At the Aspen Ideas Festival in 2010, Bill Gates stated that he used The Khan Academy tutorials to teach his own children. Having a man of Gates' wealth give such a powerful endorsement, validated The Khan Academy as few others could have. If one of the world's richest individuals endorsed this free education, it had to be the 'real deal'. After all, Gates could afford any educational resource he wanted to.
Suddenly, people realized that the words 'free' and 'world-class' were not mutually exclusive. The Gates Foundation went on to become a major financial supporter and Bill Gates a valued adviser to Sal Khan. Since then, other significant organizations have begun to provide financial support including Google and Microsoft. Mexican billionaire, Carlos Slim, funded having The Khan Academy tutorials translated into the Spanish languages.
There's a great deal to learn from Sal Khan and the success of The Khan Academy – over and above the knowledge delivered in more than 6,000 tutorials. There are lessons for branding, for business, for life.
Start with Significance –Traditional thinking, certainly in the U.S., is that we should focus first on achieving financial success – then explore opportunities to add significance to society. What Sal Khan proves is that beginning with a focus on creating significance first, can then lead to financial success. Khan pays his team well, however, he can only do that because of the significant contribution The Khan Academy adds to the world. That, in turn, has garnered vast financial support.
Sal Khan and his Khan Academy, are both fearless brands – comprised of passion, purpose, and persistence. Both deliver tremendous value – certainly more value than they take in payment. The formula is relatively simple – it's not easy. However, if we can learn from Khan's success – we too can become fearless brands and achieve the success that we desire.

This is written by an outdoorsy-type person, mostly for outdoorsy-type persons, but if you're not an outdoorsy-type person and shrug it off and turn away, you're missing some good wisdom.
David E. Petzal is the rifles editor for Field & Stream magazine, where he's been writing for almost 50 years. As he says, he's learned a thing or two. But it's not just about outdoorsy-type stuff…it's about life, and how to treat it right. So there's a lot of wisdom here, no matter who you are.
But if you're a writer, there's also an example of someone who can write sparsely and roughly, using plain ol' words, and end up with some very eloquent passages.
It was a treat for me to read, and I hope it enlightens you in one way or another. Or several.
David E. Petzal shares the most valuable lessons he's learned during his lifetime in the outdoors
By David E. Petzal
Our rifles editor has learned a thing or two during his life spent outdoors. Illustrations by Peter oumanski
I've been around awhile. When I was born, there were men alive who had fought in the Civil War. I can remember bits and pieces of World War II, and I clearly remember life before television. I bought my first rifle in 1956, began shooting in organized competition in 1958, and got my first hunting license in 1960. After 70-some years of farting around on this planet, mostly out of doors, I can't exactly tell you the meaning of it all. But as it says in the insurance ad, I know a thing or two because I've seen a thing or two. Here's some of it.
1. Hunters, more than other people, are reverential of life because they know far better than others how difficult it is to stay alive, and how suddenly life can end.
2. There's no worse experience than putting down a dog. She would die for you, and now she's dying because of you.
3. Big-game hunting is the great leveler among men. Either you can climb the mountain or you can't; either you can shoot or you can't; either you hold up your end or you don't. Money, education, and social standing have no bearing on any of this.
4. Nothing in the outdoors gets your attention like a grizzly paw print with water still oozing into it.
5. According to anthropologists, Neanderthals never built big fires to sit around and swap stories, which is one of the reasons why they vanished and our ancestors did not.
6. The best judges of character I have met are African trackers. Their assessments are brutal. One hunter with a drinking problem became "Bwana Ginni Bottle." Of Robert Ruark they said, "He has bad legs and much fear." To paraphrase Hamlet: Of all the people in the world, you do not want a bad review from them.
7. The great, unspoken allure of true wilderness, in an era when we are trying to remove all risk from life, is that if you screw up in it, you can die in it.
8. When The Moment comes, your armored, shockproof, waterproof, SEAL-approved $75 butane survival lighter will go click…click…click…click…click…click….

You have nothing to prove to anyone, not even yourself. In terms of match making they have already explained why they do not include match making for raids. This also carries over to the higher pvp modes. If you are looking to level up or find people to play with you just ask on gamefaqs or head over to lfg.
I have met some really cool people off both sites. It does stink that they don't have match making but it would most likely turn into a crap fest.
So feel free to add me and message me to play or check out those sites! With a little help Will prison of elders have matchmaking is easy to get to; Currently playing: Destiny Feel free to add me! Matchmaking can't force communication, and the end game content requires communication. Add to that the AFKers just looking to get carried, and in the case of raids people who will just grab a specific checkpoint and bail. Matchmaking is a horrible idea for these activities. Nothin' beats the hobo life, Stabbin' folks with my hobo knife There needs to be an option at this point for Nightfalls and PoE up to level I understand no matchmaking for raids and PoE Because good luck getting the majority of matchmade games to do a simple qodron, much less skolas.
Hell, I quit archon priest the majority of the time on dragon strikes because I know that one of my teammates will inevitably stand back and glitch the 3 waves.
LFG is manual and requires all of 30 seconds of additional work, but does a great job at filtering potential teammates to a relatively small pool who possess the right gear and, more importantly, the communication needed to do these activities.
And there are enough sherpas on there offering help.
In other words, keep it the way it is. The Last Azn FC: That's ridiculous that they only include matchmaking in half of the multiplayer modes. I've never done the raids and I guess I'll probably never do higher than lvl 28 Prison of Elders which means I'll probably never make lvl Bungie should fix this before "fixing" weapons that aren't broken.

This Couple Gave Up Having a Home to Travel Full-time — and Then Coronavirus Hit (Video)
100 countries, 7 continents, 1 million subscribers, a milestone birthday… and Covid-19. Sitting tight in Singapore, YouTubers Kara and Nate contemplate their travels and consider their next step.
Tanya Ward Goodman
Tanya Ward Goodman is the author of the award-winning memoir, "Leaving Tinkertown." Her essays and articles have appeared in numerous publications including The Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Luxe, Coast, OC Family, and Orange County Register.
Like many of us, Tennessee-based YouTubers Nate and Kara Buchanan underestimated the velocity of the COVID-19 virus spread. After four years of near constant travel, they'd achieved their goal of 100 countries and seven continents, and had begun to see the world as borderless. Just 36 hours after returning to the U.S. from Antarctica, the two bid farewell to stateside family and friends and headed for the Philippines.

"We lived in ignorant bliss," Nate said, describing their fortnight long exploration of the small islands of Samar, Leyte, and Coron. Two weeks later, with a lockdown imminent, they barely made it out of the country. Riding a swift wave of luck and timing, they managed to debark an off-grid houseboat and, with minutes to spare, boarded a flight for Singapore where they are currently holed up in an airport hotel.
"It was quickly becoming apparent that the only way to stop the spread of the virus was for the world stay put for awhile," Nate said. "The problem was we haven't had a home."
Taking their usual refuge in Kara's parents' guest room meant extra travel and the possibility of putting family members at risk. This, along with confidence in the Singapore healthcare system, solidified Nate and Kara's decision to self-quarantine.
"In a way," Nate said, "we've been training for self-isolation for years." Building a YouTube channel that boasts over one million followers takes rigorous planning and non-stop movement. What started as a six-month adventure filmed for the folks back home has grown into a full-time career. They've developed a schedule where up to two months spent shooting video in numerous locales is punctuated by a few weeks of "workation." Holed up in a hotel room, Kara edits and Nate tends to correspondence, marketing, and finance. During these times, much as in quarantine, they leave their room only for food and exercise.
"For the time being, this all feels relatively normal… until we start consuming news and social media," Nate said.
Working hard to stay healthy, the couple has gotten into a routine of vitamins, extra veggies, and regular exercise. The intro to their latest vlog highlights yoga, pizza delivery, and DIY facials as a few other activities they've found to fill the hours.
A birthday breakfast in bed for Nate was a slightly more subdued celebration than the one for Kara, who greeted her third decade while sailing away from the White Continent. It's easy to imagine that, when the candles were blown out, the couple might have shared a mutual wish to be back on the road before the expiration of their 90-day travel visa. No matter what, they plan to focus on the positive and, when it's safe for everyone, carry on with their adventurous life.

The Christ in Prophecy Journal
Proclaiming the soon return of Jesus Christ
World Changing Faith: Profile on King David (Pt1of4)
By Dr. David R. Reagan
How could King David, an adulterer and murderer, be described as a man after God's own heart?
The shepherd's fields of Bethlehem is where David, the son of Jesse, grew up and where he tended sheep. David the shepherd rose to become the King of Israel, and he proved himself to be a skilled military leader and a gifted poet and song writer. But, David was also a liar, an adulterer, and a murderer. How then, could he be described in the Bible as "a man after God's own heart?" And, what is the relevance of his life to you and me today?
We're going to begin our search for understanding King David in the city of Jerusalem and in his writings.
Next to the Dormition Abbey is a medieval building that was constructed by the Crusaders. The Crusader building occupies a very historic site — it is the place where the Last Supper of Jesus and His disciples was held. It is also the site of the first church in Jerusalem — the Messianic-Jewish church headed up by James, the brother of Jesus.
On the same site is the traditional tomb of David, located on the first floor directly below the Upper Room that marks the site of the Last Supper. This, of course, is not the true site of David's tomb, since the Bible says he was buried inside the ancient City of David, which is some distance away. This tomb was constructed by the Crusaders who were thoroughly confused about biblical history and biblical sites.
Whenever I go to Israel and step inside and visit the traditional tomb of David, before entering the tomb it is necessary for all males to wear a hat such as a yarmulke. Normally, when I come there, I read David's Psalm 23.
Let's read something different, taken from Psalm 27:1. "The Lord is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the defense of my life; whom shall I dread?" He then proceeds in verse four to say, "One thing I have asked from the Lord, that I shall seek: That I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to meditate in His temple."
I'm reminded of a very important event in the life of David when I see the Tower of David. It's on the west side of the Old City near the Jaffa Gate. This morning during my personal devotions I turned to Psalm 144 and I was reminded of this site. David wrote, "Blessed be the Lord my rock, He is my lovingkindness and my fortress. He is my high tower, and my deliver. My shield and the one in whom I take refuge."
Nearly all Christians are familiar with the story of how God gave David's son Solomon one request before he succeeded his father as king. His request was a selfless, magnanimous one — that he might be given wisdom so that he could rule wisely. Just think, he could have asked for wealth; he could have asked for military power; or an empire that encompassed the then-known world, but no, he asked for wisdom, and God was pleased.
What most Christians do not know is that David also made one basic request of God, and what he requested was a thousand times more profound. As Psalm 27 reveals, David requested intimacy with the Lord. Let's read it again, Psalm 27:4, "One thing I have asked from the Lord, that I shall seek: That I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, And to meditate in His temple."
This overwhelming desire to experience the Lord's presence was a constant theme of David's poetry. For example, in Psalm 26, he wrote, "O Lord, I love the habitation of your house, and the place where your glory dwells." Likewise, in Psalm 69 David cries out, "Zeal for Your house (the Temple) has consumed me." David loved the Lord with all his heart, and he yearned for fellowship with the Lord above all other things.
Now, of course, it is one thing to write such sentiments, but it is quite another to live them. Our actions always speak louder and truer than our words. So, what about David's actions? Did they reflect his words? Did they demonstrate an intimate relationship with God? I think they did, and I want to give you three examples.
The in the second part of this study of the faith of King David, we will look at three examples from King David's life which demonstrate that he had a deep relationship with God.

IBMA Foundation announces $12,050 in Arnold Shultz Fund grants
The IBMA (International Bluegrass Music Association) Foundation recently awarded $12,050 in Arnold Shultz Fund grants to eight programs and individuals in Alaska, Arizona, California, Kentucky, Louisiana, North Carolina, Tennessee and Texas. The Arnold Shultz Fund was established in 2020 by the IBMA Foundation to encourage participation in bluegrass music by people of color.
"We're proud to announce the first round of Arnold Shultz Fund grant recipients, and we hope to keep doing this for many years to come," said Dr. Richard Brown, co-chair of the Shultz advisory committee. "We are pleased to offer a proactive, helping hand to individuals who come from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups in the bluegrass community. Bluegrass music belongs to everyone. We are grateful to our donors who continue to support the IBMA Foundation and this initiative, especially during the COVID pandemic. Their generosity has made it possible to award grants to these very deserving musicians and program organizers."
Arnold Shultz Fund grant recipients:
BASEArizona and Jam Pak Band, BanJam 2021; Chandler, AZ
Bluegrass Pride and Decolonizing the Music Room, "Juneteenth: A Rainbow Revival"; San Francisco, CA and Fort Worth, TX
Dancing with the Spirit, Bluegrass Song Videos & Curriculum for Alaskan Village Schools; Fairbanks, AK
Nokosee Fields, recording project; Lafayette, LA
Louisville Folk School, "Black Voices in Kentucky Music History"; Louisville, KY
NorthStar Church of the Arts, "Country Soul Songbook"; Durham, NC
Stephen Wang, guitar lessons; Los Gatos, CA
Tray Wellington, audio and visual gear upgrade; Johnson City, TN
Anni Beach, the leader of the Chandler, AZ-based Jam Pak Band afterschool bluegrass program, is launching a community outreach program April 5 – October 29, 2021 called BanJam 2021. In collaboration with BASEArizona (Black Alliance and Social Empowerment), the Jam Pak Band will organize and lead a weekly group banjo and bass class for 6-10 youth and adults from the African American community. Instruments will be provided at no charge and the weekly one-hour classes will be free. The two BanJam instructors are of African American heritage and have grown up in the Jam Pak Band program. The history and joy of making bluegrass music will be taught to a group of people who likely will have no experience with the genre or the instruments.
San Francisco-based Bluegrass Pride, in collaboration with Fort Worth-based Decolonizing the Music Room (DTMR), will present "Juneteenth: A Rainbow Revival," a three-hour digital concert and showcase featuring six acts, on June 19, 2021. Curated by DTMR's executive director, Brandi Waller-Pace, the event will highlight the music of Black LGBTQ+ roots artists and collaborators. Joining a larger suite of Pride Month programming from Bluegrass Pride, "Juneteenth: A Rainbow Revival" seeks to elevate historical awareness of Juneteenth as a date of national importance and highlight the Black and trans roots of the modern Pride Movement. In doing so, these nonprofits hope to make the bluegrass music community and industry a more inclusive place for Black LGBTQ+ musicians and fans and help to revive the often obscured presence of Blackness in bluegrass, old-time, and American traditional music.
Belle Mickelson, director of Alaska-based Dancing with the Spirit, is creating a video collection of bluegrass songs with accompanying song words, chords and fiddle tabs that can be used virtually. Since 2006, Dancing with the Spirit has traveled to 55 remote Alaskan Native villages, flying in with a planeload of guitars and fiddles to spend a week teaching at schools, with local elders providing cultural and language connections. By the end of the week, students were ready to perform for a community concert and dance. Due to the pandemic, they've been sending instruments and providing song videos, curriculum, and Zoom lessons to keep the music going. Teachers are mostly Native Alaskan, and the program goal is to encourage healthy choices—preventing suicide, drug and alcohol use—as they bring joy, happiness, and hope to villages by connecting students with elders through music.
Nokosee Fields of Lafayette, LA is planning a new recording that will feature the Cherokee fiddling tradition he grew up with. Fields is a member of the Osage, Creek and Cherokee Nations. The project will feature contemporary indigenous fiddling, early Black indigenous string band repertoire, and a mixture of old-time music with bluegrass songs and instrumentals. Fields hopes the recording will spark conversations about indigenous contributions to bluegrass music and that his visibility will help to inspire younger indigenous players to explore string band music.
Dave Howard, Executive Director of the Louisville Folk School in Kentucky, is planning a program called "Black Voices in Kentucky Music History" that will explore the critical role of African Americans in the emergence of American string band music. In collaboration with Kentucky Performing Arts, Louisville Folk School will create a three-part series of virtual educational and entertaining sessions with a focus on reclaiming bluegrass music's multiple roots. Each program will combine elements of under-told stories of Black musicians in folk music traditions, audience Q & A, and performances by the segment's featured artists. Presentations will be available free online to the general public. Presenters for the 2021 series include Dom Flemons, Rachel Grimes, Michael Jones, Keith Lawrence, and Leyla McCalla.
Kamara Thomas presents the "Country Soul Songbook," a creative community and online platform that features performances, interviews, conversations, and cultural offerings which seek to amplify historically marginalized voices in country and Americana music. A segment of programming will be devoted to the presentation of BIPOC bluegrass artists, a tribute to Arnold Shultz, and the contributions of artists of color to the bluegrass lineage as part of the Country Soul Songbook Summit conference and festival planned for fall 2021. The initiative is affiliated with NorthStar Church of the Arts, a Durham, NC-based organization committed to centering BIPOC and LGBTQIA voices in the arts.
Stephen Wang, a young California-based, Chinese-American musician with first-generation parents, will use his Shultz grant to take guitar lessons from Jack Tuttle, beginning in March 2021. In his application Stephen said, "I am not a professional musician, but I wonder how far I can take my guitar playing with dedicated practice and quality mentoring. As a person of color, I also realize that representation is important. My presence and involvement alone would benefit the bluegrass community simply for the unique perspective I would bring to the table. I hope to be skilled enough to be able to inspire other people of color."
Trajan (Tray) Wellington, an African American banjo player, will use his Shultz grant for an audio and visual gear upgrade. Wellington (21) has been playing Scruggs-style banjo since age 14 and is currently a senior at East Tennessee State University with a major in Bluegrass, Old-Time and Country Music Studies and a minor in Marketing. He plans to take a gap year before pursuing a master's degree. Tray was the 2019 IBMA Momentum Award Instrumentalist of the Year and Cane Mill Road, his band at the time, was named IBMA Momentum Band of the Year. In 2020 he signed a recording deal with the Mountain Home Music Company, and his second album will be released this year. In his application Tray said, "My journey in bluegrass has been great so far, though I hope to see more diverse artists in the future of the music."
Arnold Shultz (1886 – 1931) was an African American musician from western Kentucky. Shultz, best known as an extraordinary guitarist and fiddle player, often played guitar with Bill Monroe's fiddle-playing uncle, Pendleton ("Pen") Vandiver. It was at these gigs that Monroe met Arnold Shultz and began to emulate Shultz's backup guitar style. Shultz was impressed enough with Monroe's progress that he hired Monroe to play guitar with him at dances, thereby giving Monroe his first professional music jobs. Arnold Shultz was a mentor to Bill Monroe, who also credited Shultz with influencing his approach to playing music.
The deadline to apply for the next round of Arnold Shultz Fund grants is December 1, 2021. Qualified applicants may also inquire throughout the year about support, on a case-by-case basis. For information on applying for an Arnold Shultz Fund grant, becoming a sponsor of an IBMA Foundation grant, or making a donation to the IBMA Foundation, please visit https://bluegrassfoundation.org or email info@bluegrassfoundation.org.

Need for Speed: No Limits – Guide To The Cars Street Racing Gameplay
Games.lol
One of the best and most fun racing games that you can play right now is Need for Speed: No Limits. Developed and published by Electronic Arts, it's a role-playing racing game where you play a wannabe street racer role. Your goal is to become the king of street racing in the game, and to do so; you will need the assistance of the fastest and most powerful supercars to be able to win races.
Of course, acquiring and driving fast and powerful cars are just the beginning. You will also need to upgrade them to make sure that they can compete even at higher levels. To be crowned the street racing king, you will need to beat several street racing masters in the game. To do that, you will first need to overcome their racing crew members, and you will need powerful vehicles.
So, this article will discuss the overall gameplay and important things you will need to know about the game for you to play better. The guide will provide information about the things that will help you reach your goal of becoming the king of street racing. If you're ready for a fast pace and speed process, then let's go!
Racing Campaign Game Modes in Need for Speed: No Limits
The first thing you will need to know about Need for Speed: No Limits is its Campaign game mode. It's the main game mode that the game offers, and it's also where the main story is being played. The campaign mode is split into different stages for you to complete. In each stage, you will be facing a street racing crew (except for the first stage) and use a certain class of vehicles. Let's look at each stage of the campaign mode.
Training Stage
The training stage of the campaign mode is the Training Grounds. In this stage, you will be learning the basic controls of the game and the more advanced ones like drifting. Races will be easier here, and the vehicle you will use is the first Street Car you will use for the entire stage until the first parts of the next stage. This part is the stage where you will also learn about upgrading and equipping parts.
The final racer that you need to beat here is Darius. He is a racer that you will often encounter in the game. Before the campaign's tutorial stage, there is also a basic tutorial where you will learn basic controls and speed up. You will be using a powerful vehicle there, but it's only usable during the tutorial. To use it in races, you will need to collect its blueprints and unlock it.
The first stage is where the real fun begins, as this is the stage where you will battle your first Race Crew. The Crew that you need to beat here is the Joy Riders, which Dwayne led, who is also the stage's last racer you must defeat. In this stage, you will need to apply everything you've learned, including equipping parts and upgrading them. This stage is also where you will see the value of upgrading since racers are tougher here.
You will also be able to use the Street Class vehicles like the Subaru WRX STI. You need to acquire these vehicles, and to do that, you will need to collect car blueprints. The number of blueprints you will need will depend on the vehicle. They're usually given as rewards for winning races or for opening crates. Once you defeat Dwayne, the second stage is unlocked.
In this stage, you will battle against the Renegades that are led by Jaxon. It is where you will also need to use the Muscle Car class like the Ford Mustang. Though an upgraded Street Class vehicle can still get you through the first parts of the stage, their Horsepower is not enough to beat the other crew members who need the more powerful Muscle Car class. Once you've defeated Jaxon, you can proceed to the Third Stage.
Third Stage
The third stage is to start using the Classic Sports cars in the game like the Toyota Supra or Porsche 911 Carrera (1993). The racing crew that you will face here will be the Flaming Skulls led by Ivy. Races are hard here, and you will need a combination of fast and powerful cars, as well as great driving skills. Once you've defeated Ivy, the Fourth Stage is unlocked.
Fourth Stage
Now, this part is where the required vehicle to use would be the Sports Class. An example of a car in this class is the Porsche 911 Carrera (991) or the Nissan GT-R R35. The Crew that you will face here Powerhaus, led by Blake. Once you defeat Blake, the last stage in the game is unlocked, and your path to becoming street racing king will be close.
Fifth Levels
At this level, you need to complete the Need for Speed: No Limits to achieve your goal of becoming the street racing king. The Crew you need to beat are the Blackridge Royales, which are led by Marcus King. It is also a part where you will need to use cars that belong to the Super Class, as this is the class of vehicles your opponent uses. Some cars belonging to this class are Viper GTS, the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series, and more.
These are powerful vehicles that can help you conquer this stage and claim the top spot from Marcus. You need to collect enough blueprints to acquire them.
Need for Speed: No Limits Special Events
Inside each stage, there will be several events that you will need to complete aside from the races against Crew members. You will need to complete them to advance to the next race on the stage. Below are some of the events that you will
Nitro Rush – Use the charged-up nitro to cross the finish line before time runs out quickly.
Rush Hour – Be the first one to cross the finish line.
Time Trial – Reach the finish line faster than the highlighted time.
Delivery – Deliver a car to its destination without scratching or damaging it. Every time you scratch, a time penalty is added.
Airborne – The racetrack will feature ramps for your vehicle to jump. The goal is still to cross the finish line first.
Hunter – Chase your opponent, who has a head start, and beat them before crossing the finish line.
Team Battle – This event is where you battle against rival Crew members.
Blockade – Police will block the racetrack; the goal is to win despite the blockages.
Other Important Things to Remember in Need for Speed: No Limits
Aside from the campaign, there are also other things you need to know about when you play Need for Speed: No Limits. Below are the important ones:
Fuel – This matter is the energy system that the game uses for you to participate in races. You will have ten fuels to use, and they will replenish over time. But if you want to replenish them quickly, you need to spend 30 gold. They also become full whenever you level up.
Events will cost 1 – 3 fuels, so you will likely play only 3-5 races at a time before you need to replenish fuel.
Currencies – There are two types of currencies in the game, Cash and Gold. Gold is the premium currency, which means it's harder to obtain. It can also be used for purchasing premium crates on the Black Market or Loading Docks. Cash is the other currency, which can easily be earned by winning races. It's used mainly for equipping and upgrading parts or building vehicles.
Rewards – Whenever you win, you are usually rewarded with cards; the cards will contain either parts, blueprints, materials, or cash. Some races will be specific on what type of reward you will get, others will provide three cards, and you need to pick 1 to reveal what the reward is. Aside from cards, you're also rewarded with Reputation, which is the driver's current level. You can also get VIP levels, but only if you spent money on the store.
Black Market – The e in-game's store where you can buy parts, blueprints, or materials using cash or gold.
Loading Docks – This part is where you can get crates containing various items you can use. Crates will contain either parts, blueprints, cash, or gold. You are given five free Classic Crates and one free Premium Crate each day. You can also purchase them with Classic Crates costing 5000 cash and a Premium Crate costing 100 gold. There's also the Legendary Crate but is available once you reach a certain level.
Store – The place where you can buy gold using real money. Each purchase will provide you with VIP points, which will help in increasing your VIP level.
Garage – The site where you can unlock cars that already have enough blueprints and equip and upgrade parts on your existing vehicles.
Modshop – The place where you will be able to modify your vehicle's appearance, like adding new paint, stickers, and so on.

Moon and May are 5 & 6 year old matching mules. 14.1 Hands, john and a molly. They have been lightly used in harness and for riding but because of there size have not been used hard enough for us to represent them as broke. They are a bit hard to catch and untrusting. They are going to need some ground work and handled by people who have the ability to help them become awesome. We liked there looks and the start they have on them, they are priced right as they are going to take some time.


Being a wedding DJ comes with great responsibility. There are no second chances to get something right, and every time we go to work it's for a couple who have worked hard to make their wedding celebration the party of the century. We remind ourselves of that before every celebration, and treat each with the respect it deserves. That is the key to our success.


I would not recommend any type of bird to anyone with a child. They are incredibly hard to take care of and they can begin to stink and get mean easily without proper and constant care. I do love my bird, however. I think that they can be the perfect pet for an adult with a lot of time and responsibility.

L-arginine-dependent nitric oxide synthase: a new metabolic pathway in the lung and airways
PG Jorens, PA Vermeire, AG Herman
European Respiratory Journal 1993 6: 258-266; DOI: 10.1183/09031936.93.06020258

An L-arginine-dependent pathway, metabolising L-arginine to citrulline and nitrogen oxides, has been described in many cell types in different species, including man. Two subtypes of this nitric oxide synthase have been reported: a constitutive enzyme type, releasing nitric oxide after stimulation, is typically found in endothelial and neural cells; another subtype can be induced in macrophages after cytokine treatment. This review summarizes the literature on the known and proposed roles of this L-arginine-dependent nitric oxide production in different pulmonary processes. Nitric oxide has been reported to act as a neurotransmitter in the inhibitory nonadrenergic, noncholinergic nerves in the airways of guinea-pig and man. It is released in cytostatic processes by immune-stimulated alveolar macrophages. Recent data on the role of L-arginine-dependent processes in immune-complex-mediated lung injury, histamine-induced activation of guanylate cyclase or cytokine networks in the lung are also discussed. Finally, similarities and differences between tracheal epithelium-derived relaxing factor and nitric oxide are analysed. The details of the role and distribution of nitric oxide synthase in the (human) lung and airways are not yet completely understood. Nitric oxide is believed to play a role in various pulmonary physiological processes, such as bronchodilation and the cytotoxic action of certain cells. The modulation of nitric oxide release will therefore, most probably lead to application of novel therapies in diseases such as asthma and inflammatory pulmonary diseases.

I am a bona fide member of the Martha Stewart generation — I was a newlywed in my mid-20s when she launched her magazine; a new mom when her TV show first aired. I am still haunted by memories of putting my newborn son down for a nap and, instead of resting myself, furiously gluing unshelled almonds to Styrofoam balls.
Entertaining was a dreaded and stressful event, requiring a carefully planned menu of exotic new recipes and a perfectly set table. I applied the same rigid standards to the decoration and maintenance of my home.
Eventually — though longer than I like to admit — I got tired of living like this. I discovered that entertaining is about friendship, and as long as my house is a place where people feel welcome, it is good enough. Though a little beauty mixed in certainly never hurts.
I've learned some tips and tricks along the way and will share them here.
Five handy tips for not hating Halloween.
Generous is the new cool.
Oh this sounds good! I need these sorts of lessons and reminders. Can't wait for more about simplifying to focus on what's important!
Says Anneliese, the woman who puts Martha Stewart to shame yet still manages to focus on the important. :-) Thanks for stopping by!

In the new Telly Addict, you will see and hear me reviewing the teatime debut of Keith Lemon's Lemonaid on ITV1; the welcome second series of Twenty Twelve on BBC2; the last of Talk At The BBC on BBC4 (which I hope they repeat soon); and the final season of Eastbound & Down on FX.
I did watch Derek last night on C4, but it was too late to include it, as I have to deliver my script on a Thursday and record it first thing on Friday. And I was out last night. I may assess it next week, although I don't mind telling you in advance that I don't feel, as a one-off, that it earned enough of our sympathy to expect us to be sad about a character being sad after such a short time.

The U.S. Department of State may publish a new rule in March 2018 that may end or limit the number of 212(e) waivers granted to those who are on or who have in the past held J-1 or J-2 status.
We currently have very limited information at this point in time. The intention may be viewed on the Office of Management and Budget website at this time.
If published as an "interim final rule" in the Federal Register, this means the rule will take effect immediately.
This information is meant to assist those who are in J status at the University of Iowa, or any University of Iowa F students who have held J status in the past. We are unable to advise those who hold J-1 status through another university or organization.
This applies only to some who currently hold or have in the past held J-1 or J-2 status.
You may still be subject, depending on whether or not (1) you lived in your home country for two years after your J status ended, or (2) you obtained a waiver. But 212(e) does not just go away if you obtain another status without having done one of those two things. ISSS can help you begin to sort out whether or not you may still be subject.
Even if you received a waiver or lived in your home country for two years, you may once again be subject to 212(e) as several things can "reapply" it to you situation, including later obtaining J status again. An ISSS advisor can help you begin to sort out whether or not you may be subject.
I held or hold J-2 status, am I subject?
You may be. If your J-1 spouse/parent was subject, then all J-2 dependents will be as well. ISSS can help you begin to sort out whether or not you may be subject.
What if I am/have been subject to 212(e) but have no plan to apply for a waiver?
Then you can disregard this as it won't apply to you. However, if there is any uncertainty about your immediate future plans, you may still wish to speak with an ISSS advisor.
Is this the same as the 12- or 24-month bars to return in J status?
No, 212(e) is a separate issue.
What is a waiver and how is it obtained?
A waiver is a special request made to the U.S. government and possibly also the home government, asking to be released from having to live in the home country for two years.
No Objection – A J exchange visitor's home country may issue a "no objection" statement in response to a waiver application when 212(e) was based on either (1) the exchange visitor Skills List or (2) home government funding. It is rare to receive waiver approval if funding was received from the U.S. government. Also those who are foreign medical graduates or alien physicians who obtained J status for medical training/education are not eligible for a waiver based solely on a no objection statement.
Hardship – A very rare form of waiver reserved for those who hold/held J status but whose departure from the U.S. for two years would cause exceptional hardship to any U.S. citizen or permanent resident spouse/children, OR if the J exchange visitor would be subject to persecution based on race, religion, or political opinion if returning home. Current or former exchange visitors hoping to apply for a waiver based on Hardship should consult experienced immigration attorneys as this is beyond the scope of ISSS to advise on, but ISSS can provide information on reputable immigration attorneys in the area.
If I apply for the waiver now, before the new rule may be published, then it is guaranteed I'll get it?
Unfortunately we cannot guarantee that. As mentioned, we have very limited information about this pending rule at this time.
It is entirely possible that those applications received before this rule is published may still be handled according to any new restrictions.
The goal for ISSS to bring this to the attention of our current J exchange visitors is for you to decide whether or not you think applying for the waiver now may be worth it, understanding that it may not make a difference in the end.
Should I just go ahead and apply for the waiver now? Is there any reason I might not want to do this?
Do I need to extend my DS-2019? If I'm a student, will I graduate before or by the program end date listed on my DS-2019? Or if I am here as a J-1 scholar, will my program wish to have me stay longer, if my J category permits it? – You will not be able to request an extension of the DS-2019 if your waiver is approved, and some argue that you cannot request an extension once you apply for the waiver, before a decision is made.
Do I wish to transfer my J status to another institution?
Do I want to apply for Academic Training before or after graduation? This pertains only to those here as current J-1 students. Academic Training requires making an update to the DS-2019. As a result it is viewed as prohibited once a waiver has been approved, and could potentially be considered prohibited once a waiver is requested but before it is approved.
Currently in J-1/J-2, or F-1/F-2 who previously held J status at any time in the past, currently on an active University of Iowa DS-2019 or I-20 – International Student and Scholar Services staff will first hold group information sessions on the following dates/times. We will also then make appointment times available with specific staff who are familiar with 212(e) to help you assess your situation and decide whether or not applying for a waiver before March may be in your best interest. Because this issue is very complicated, we ask that you not seek guidance during regular walk-in hours or via email. We will send an announcement when the individual appointment system is available and also post instructions here.
University of Iowa student or employee on a DS-2019 issued by another organization (ex. Fulbright, ISEP, etc.) – You must consult with your program sponsor. ISSS is unable to assist you.


Two wannabes try to kidnap their boss's dog so that they can receive a hefty ransom and marry their respective girlfriends.
Nitin Bankar (Akshay Kumar) and Ram Mishra (Sunil Shetty) are only lucky in love, aside from which their life is a big zero just as their bank balance. Nitin is stuck as a servant and driver of Kuljeet Kaur (Archana Puran Singh), according to the conditions of a loan which his father had taken to educate Nitin. He is fed up with Kuljeet's dog, Moolchand Ji, who always puts him into trouble. Together with Ram, Nitin devises a kidnapping plan against Moolchand Ji so that they can ask for a huge ransom. They both are dating Anjali Kakkad (Katrina Kaif) and Manpreet Oberoi (Sameera Reddy), daughters of rich men and are hoping to marry them after their plan succeeds. But their plan takes a comic turn when Anjali's father gets hold of Nitin and chases him into a cupboard in the room of a huge hotel. The hotel is also the venue of a big Indian wedding of the son of Harbans Chadda (Paresh Rawal), a notorious conman who has nine cases registered against him. At that time, the hotel is also inhabited by different people who get entangled into the chase. Ram tries to look for Nitin in different rooms of the hotel until Manpreet's father comes racing against him.

Jack Goody Award
2021 Jack Goody Award
CSSH is delighted to bestow the 2021 Jack Goody Award upon David Mosse for his manuscript, "Outside Caste? The Enclosure of Caste and Claims to Castelessness in India and the United Kingdom" (CSSH 62-1).
The panel of judges, comprised of Karen Barkey, 2019 Jack Goody Award winner Andrew Canessa, and Dan Smail, praised the essay as follows:
David Mosse's "Outside Caste? The Enclosure of Caste and Claims to Castelessness in India and the United Kingdom," is a brilliant comparative study evenly grounded in ethnographic and historical analysis. The author addresses a classic problem in social policy that arises whenever policies directed against social oppression clash with respect for cultural autonomy. The careful discussion of the way in which caste is enclosed in notions of religion and nation makes it possible to dismiss critiques based on justice and equality, and illustrates how religion, and more importantly cultural difference, cannot easily be squared with liberal egalitarian notions. Mosse shows the way Hindu élites have dismissed global critiques of the prejudices directed toward Dalits on the grounds that those critiques emanate from an orientalized concept of "caste" that has been imposed on India as an element of imperial epistemological colonization. The analytical twist that Mosse brings to light so powerfully is the real-time contradiction Hindu élites get away with; both embedding caste into Hindu religion and nation and arguing at the same time that it was a result of a colonial description of the other. Close and deep reading reveals hidden gems of ethnographic analysis and a breathtaking sensitivity to the importance of historical details. The author gracefully moves between his empirical narrative and the larger analytical argument, contributing to both the questions of the role of "caste" in society and questions of social policy vis-à-vis cultural difference.
To hear more about the essay, enjoy this Under the Rubric conversation between David Mosse, Michal Kravel-Tovi, and CSSH's Andrew Shryock.
The panel also recognized Amy Chazkel's "Toward a History of Rights in the City at Night: Making and Breaking the Nightly Curfew in 19th-Century Rio de Janeiro" with an Honorable Mention.

Der Savuti, auf Englisch auch Savuti Channel genannt, ist ein Fluss im Chobe-Nationalpark in Botswana.

Beschreibung

Der Savuti ist die Verlängerung des Flusses Magwekwana (oder Selinda), der bei Hochwasser Wasser aus dem Okavangodelta an den Linyanti abgibt. Entsprechend umgekehrt nimmt der Savuti Wasser aus dem Linyanti bei Hochwasser im Cuando-Einzugsgebiet auf und leitet es in die Mababe-Senke (Mababe Depression) weiter, wo es versickert.

Die Mababe-Senke, einst ein großer See, mit dem Binnendelta des Savuti, dem Savuti-Sumpf (Savuti Marsh), ist eine bedeutende Wasserquelle im Chobe-Nationalpark. Daher sammeln sich dort viele Wildtiere.

Abfluss
Der Savuti floss bis in die späten 1880er Jahre dauerhaft und stoppte dann bis 1958. Dann hörte er 1982 erneut auf und begann 2008 wieder zu fließen.

MG Rover to build 75 in China
MG Rover Group is expecting to export cars from China as part of its proposed joint venture with Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation.
The news indicates that MG Rover's proposed partnership with the state-owned SAIC, which is awaiting official approval from the Chinese government, is much more far-reaching than had previously been thought by observers in China.
At present none of the foreign manufacturers operating in China with local partners is licensed to export vehicles, though Honda's Chinese plant is permitted to export built-up vehicles.
Rod Ramsay, the sales operations director at MG Rover, says: "If we have a model that is essentially European, we will produce it at our Longbridge plant but there is nothing to stop us importing from China or exporting from the UK."
Rover is planning to manufacture its 75 model in China and sell it to domestic customers.
However, the company has revealed that its new medium-sized car, the designs of which are being finalised, will be produced for export in both the UK and China.
"Part of the deal is developing a product plan for the long term," Ramsay said. "Everybody is so focused on the new medium car that it has talismanic status, but there is no limit on the products we are looking at with SAIC. This isn't just a one-way street, these guys are big operators and they have an ambition to produce 1m cars a year."
SAIC produces 600,000 cars a year, while MG Rover is expected to sell 100,000 vehicles this year. The figure is just half the company's sales four years ago when MG Rover was sold off by BMW.

This was an amazing night. Over an hour of listening to God, in silence. Our youth did an amazing job surrendering this time as an offering to God. Rather than go into details of the night, I'll simply include our "guide book" for you to explore that walks you through 5 stations, and to use as a conversation starter with your youth. These were simple experiences, that are easily for anyone to do at home or at school.
Luke's been gracious enough to go out of his way to prep his materials for all of us to take and use in our youth groups. He even shot a video of their setup if you wanna see how it looked for them.
The download below includes the Leader's Guide, Student's Guide, signs for each of the stations, and his original artwork for you to use and tweak if necessary.
