What is a Thin Place?

St. Patrick's and St. Patrick's – Twins, Curses and Blessings in Armagh

St. Patrick's Cathedral in Armagh – Church of Ireland
Coming into Armagh from the Monaghan Road one gets a dramatic view of the city skyline, especially at twilight. The view is dominated by two buildings on two hills – St. Patrick's Cathedral and St. Patrick's Cathedral.
Both are diocesan bishoprics, both are built on holy ground and both are tied to legends of St. Patrick. One is the Church of Ireland cathedral built on the ancient holy site where St. Patrick is believed to have built his first stone church in the 5th century. The other is a stunning Gothic-style Roman Catholic Cathedral, its cornerstone laid on St. Patrick's Day 1840. It was completed in the early 20th century, with a serious halt to the construction during the Great Hunger. Armagh is known for being the ancient seat of the Ulster kings and the place that gave us the Knights of the Red Branch and Cuchulainn – the Hound of Ulster, a who was the Incredible Hulk of Ireland.
St. Patrick's Cathedral in Armagh – Roman Catholic
Armagh is also a city defined by twins linked to tragedy and triumph. Armagh comes from two Irish words that together mean the "Hill of Macha" or the "Height of Macha."
Ard means hill or height and Macha is the name of an Ulster goddess who had super powers enabling her to run faster than any living creature. When she was pregnant and near delivery, her prideful husband boasted to the local king who was also prideful about his swift horses, that Macha could outrun them. The embarrassed king ordered Macha to prove it by racing his fastest horses in a competition staged in the presence of all of his friends.
Macha begged for mercy because she was heavily pregnant, but the king refused her pleas and forced her to run the race. Macha ran – and won. All, including the king were in awe of her strength. But at the end of the race Macha collapsed and died whilst giving birth to twins – a boy and a girl, one representing a blessing and the other a curse on the Ulstermen to last nine generations. The blessing was that Ulstermen would develop great strength and be the mightiest warriors in all the land. The curse was that at the times when they are in the greatest need, they would be stricken with the pains of childbirth and be incapacitated for five days and four nights. The boy went to sea (the otherworld) and met his mother and the other gods and goddesses. The girl stayed behind, motherless in a world that exploited and oppressed her kind.
Twin Cathedrals
St. Patrick's Cathedral (COI) in Armagh
The twin pinnacles in the Armagh skyline are side-by-side hills each capped with a cathedral of two similar faiths. The two religions have a history of bloody conflict that goes back 700 years. They are the Catholics and the Protestants of Northern Ireland. Some say they mirror the ancient story of the twins of Macha, forced to be birthed violently because of pride, arrogance and greed. One allowed to be the warrior and the other oppressed with little power, forced into servitude. Triumph and tragedy. Blessing and curse.
Shopping district in Armagh
But today's Armagh shows few remnants of that conflict. People are warm and friendly, the downtown has nice shops and restaurants. It's a busy town, but there are only scant traces of the brutal conflict that raged only a few decades. If I hadn't been to Northern Ireland during the Troubles, I wouldn't be able to measure the difference. But as a visiting American who traveled there both when the country was occupied and in recent years, I see the radical difference. Today there are no soldiers in the streets with machine guns, or crouching in alley ways, no razor wire, no moratorium on cameras and taking pictures, no tense people who don't look up as you pass them on sidewalks – locals who provide no warm welcome for visitors… except for a few who were in the tourism business, and even they were guarded.
Armagh and the North – Good Times and Bad
Gargoil on St. Patrick's Cathedral in Armagh
Don't get me wrong. I loved Armagh then and I love it now as I love all of Northern Ireland. The only difference between the two time periods is that the curse is lifted. The two sides want to get along. They want peace. They want their children to be safe. They want to thrive economically and welcome visitors. Both sides know and always have known that they live in a magical land – a land of pristine beauty, a land of stories, a land of mystical energy. They're eager to share their country's treasures in the safe environment that has grown out of their commitment to peace. And visitors are very welcome.
Janus figure – Caldragh Cemetery
During all of the troubles and conflict, the ancient Janus figure still stood watch in that mystical cemetery named Caldragh in County Fermanagh. Saint Patrick's Chair and holy well was still perched in the Altadaven Forest waiting for pilgrims to come forward and present their wishes. The sands of Whitepark Bay still sang in the wind. The stone circles at Beaghmore were still lying in wait in the shadow of the Sperrin Mountains ready to enchant the visitor looking for those spiritual ports in the storm that we call thin places. The North has always been beautiful and worth visiting, but it's good to see the people of the North enjoying their land and each other.

Both St. Patrick's Cathedrals in Armagh are a part of our Discover the North tours as are St. Patrick's Chair, Caldragh Cemetery, Beaghmore Stone Circles, Whitepark Bay and many other mystical sites.

By BTC Peers Reporter in NFT News — Jan 21, 2022
Instagram to support NFTs
According to a report by the Financial Times, Meta (formerly Facebook) is working on a new feature that would allow users to display their NFT collections on Instagram.
Citing unnamed sources, the FT reported on Thursday that the feature would allow Meta and Instagram users to mint and sell NFTs, as well as use them as their profile pictures.
Meta might have to compete with other crypto-native companies like OpenSea and Coinbase considering its intention to launch an NFT marketplace. Two sources familiar with the matter confirmed that an NFT marketplace similar to OpenSea was already in the works.
Meta's latest expansion into the NFT space is all but expected. While one would have expected the company to stick to its metaverse dreams, it is hard to ignore the booming digital collectibles market. As reported by BTC PEERS, just two weeks into the new year and leading NFT marketplace OpenSea has already surpassed its previously monthly highs. By mid-January, the platform's monthly Ethereum trading volume had already surpassed the $3.5 billion mark.
In October, the social media platform announced that it was changing its name from Facebook to Meta. Two months later, in December, Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri said that the firm was "actively exploring NFTs and how we can make them more accessible to a wider audience."
Meanwhile, Twitter already made similar moves last September. In its case, Twitter was working on a feature to add Bitcoin (BTC) lightning payments and a non-fungible token (NFT) authenticator to its platform. However, not much has been said about the features since then.

CNSC publishes sixth Canadian National Report for the Joint Convention on the Safety of Spent Fuel Management and on the Safety of Radioactive Waste Management
From: Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission
The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC), on behalf of the Government of Canada, has published the sixth Canadian National Report for the Joint Convention on the Safety of Spent Fuel Management and on the Safety of Radioactive Waste Management. This report demonstrates how Canada continues to meet its obligations under the terms of the Joint Convention, for the reporting period of April 1, 2014 to March 31, 2017
The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC), on behalf of the Government of Canada, has published the sixth Canadian National Report for the Joint Convention on the Safety of Spent Fuel Management and on the Safety of Radioactive Waste Management.
The Joint Convention on the Safety of Spent Fuel Management and on the Safety of Radioactive Waste Management (Joint Convention) is a legally binding international agreement that governs all aspects of spent fuel and radioactive waste management. It represents a commitment by Contracting Parties (member countries) to achieve and maintain a consistently high level of safety in the management of spent fuel and radioactive waste.
This report demonstrates how Canada continues to meet its obligations under the terms of the Joint Convention for the reporting period of April 1, 2014 to March 31, 2017. A collaboration between government, industry and the CNSC, Canada's nuclear regulator, this document focuses specifically on the progress of long-term management initiatives for spent fuel and radioactive waste in Canada, revisions and updates to Canada's fifth national report, and comments and issues raised at the Fifth Review Meeting.
Specifically, it includes information on:
- Canada's current priorities for long-term management of spent fuel and radioactive waste
- the inventory of spent fuel and radioactive waste current to the reporting period
- the status of the Nuclear Waste Management Organization's site selection process for a deep geological repository for Canada's spent fuel
- the status of Ontario Power Generation's proposed Deep Geologic Repository for low- and intermediate-level waste
The report confirms Canada's commitment to identifying and implementing long-term management approaches that do not place an undue burden on future generations. Spent fuel and radioactive waste in Canada are currently managed in interim storage facilities that are safe, environmentally sound, and continually monitored to ensure fitness for service.
The report will be discussed among the Contracting Parties during the Sixth Review Meeting, to be held at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in Vienna, Austria, from May 21 to June 1, 2018.
The Joint Convention is the first legally binding international treaty on safety in the areas of spent fuel management and radioactive waste management.
Canada was one of the first countries to endorse the Joint Convention, which came into force on June 18, 2001.
In order to promote open and transparent discussions, Contracting Parties are required to submit a national report for peer review at each review meeting.

President Obama expressed his concern about the Highway Trust Fund crisis. On the 1st of July, the President of the USA urged the Congress to take action on this pressing matter. He said he worries that staying idle any longer may lead to closing down highway projects and endangering numerous jobs, roughly equal to the population of Denver.
Obama said that if lawmakers do not find funding, states will have to start choosing which transportation construction projects to cut. There are currently more than 100, 000 active ones around the country.

To help celebrate the Nespresso's new limited edition Colombian Terroirs flavours Cauca and Santander I decided to make a coffee infused Tres Leche Cake.
Both Cauca and Santander are from the same origin, being 100% Colombian Arabica Coffee. The Cauca (Intensity 6) is the more complex of the two flavours and is rather fruity and a little tangy, whereas the Santander (Intensity 7) is incredibly smooth and balanced with delicious caramel notes. For this reason, I decided the Santander would be the perfect addition to my Tres Leche cake.
Spanish for 3 milks, the Tres Leche cake is very popular in South America.
Firstly, let me just say I was very impressed with the Nespresso Inissia & Aeroccino 3. The best feature of the Inissia is that it's super easy to use, takes up little space and it looks great. This was my first time using a separate milk frothing machine and I must say the Aerroccino 3 impressed me. It is practically silent and I love the fact that you can use it to make hot or cold frothed milk, which comes in handy when I decide I want to make an iced coffee.
plus 1 shot of espresso ( approximately 30ml) I used Nespresso Colombian Terroirs - Santander. Use 2 shots (60ml) if you prefer a stronger coffee flavour.
Preheat oven to 180C and grease a square, 20-centimetre loose-bottomed tin.
Cream butter and sugar until pale and fluffy. Add two of the eggs and half the sour cream and beat well. Add remaining two eggs and the rest of the sour cream and beat again.
Add the vanilla. Sieve in the flour and bicarb and fold into the mix.
Spoon into the prepared tin and bake for 25 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean.
Cool on a tray until the cake is completely cool - making sure you leave it in the tin to cool. Prick the cake surface several times with a fork.
Wrap base of the tin with cling-film (to contain the impending liquid fest ).
Mix the evaporated milk, condensed milk, cream and coffee in a jug, then pour it on top of the cake. Most of the liquid will just sit on the surface of the cake at this point. But never fear, this will be absorbed.
Place the cake into the fridge preferably overnight but for at least 10 hours. You will find that during this time much of the milk mixture will be absorbed resulting in a beautiful moist cake.
Top with chocolate shavings, shredded coconut or your choice of topping.
The Food Mentalist trialled the above mentioned products compliments of Nespresso.

Outside View: Assent or oblivion
JOHN RENESCH, A UPI Outside View commentary
SAN FRANCISCO, June 2 (UPI) -- I was having lunch last year with a friend when the subject of the pending war in Iraq and our nation's foreign policy found its way into the conversation. After a few exchanges about the then-pending U.S. invasion she said something that has stuck with me ever since. With much anguish she said, "This is not my America!"
My friend had just verbalized what had been nagging away at my conscience for weeks.
Most of our citizenry has been completely ignorant of State Department policies and how they've changed from one administration to another. Few of us knew the distinctions in foreign policy under Reagan, Bush I, Clinton and Bush II. Some of us had become more aware over the past couple of years as news of the new "Bush Doctrine" leaked out in the alternative media.
This new imperative was designed by a group of neoconservatives in September 2000, months before the current administration took office. This group, which includes many of the people presently in the White House, published this new imperative under their foundation, Project for the New American Century.
When I read its Key Findings I became far more aware of the direction this Bush administration wants to take the United States and I was terribly bothered. Then I read the entire report and I became even more troubled about what's going on with "my America." In their "Rebuilding America's Defenses: Strategy, Forces and Resources for a New Century," the authors write "the United States has an unprecedented strategic opportunity ... to transform U.S. forces [in order] to exploit the 'revolution in military affairs'."
It goes on to cite nine key sub-imperatives, two of which bother me considerably.
One calls for "controlling the new 'international commons' of space and 'cyberspace' and the creation of 'U.S. Space Forces'." Another is to 'reposition U.S. forces to respond to 21st century strategic realities by shifting permanently-based forces to Southeast Europe and Southeast Asia, and by changing naval deployment patterns to reflect growing U.S. strategic concerns in East Asia'."
This new U.S. imperative was based on four assumptions, three of which are highly questionable: the United States is "blessed with wealthy, powerful and democratic allies in every part of the world; the United States "is in the midst of the longest economic expansion in its history;" and, U.S. political and economic principles are almost universally embraced.
Since Sept. 11, 2001, we have squandered the first one, had a severe setback in the second, and, in my opinion, the report's authors were seriously in error about the third.
This doctrine to have "my America" rule the world offends my sensibilities as a fourth generation citizen who was raised believing that all people are created equal, free to pursue life, liberty and happiness as they define it, not as it might be prescribed by those in power.
Besides being blessed as a fourth-generation American, I'm also fortunate to be old enough to remember some bitter lessons learned about people in the world who had their own ideas about what was good for the many, who insisted on foisting their values on the rest of society. The United States used to fight those movements not lead them. The United States used to be the world's "good guy," not the biggest bully on the planet.
Defending the "American Way" is one thing. Prescribing it to the rest of the world, whether they like it or not, and enforcing it through coercion or muscle is another. The latter smells of totalitarianism or autocracy, hardly the founding ideals for the "world's most successful democracy."
The aforementioned doctrines outlined in the report scare me; but not nearly as much as they idea they are being implemented with the rest of the world thinking that all Americans are behind it.

IASC Foundation to become IFRS Foundation on 1 July 2010
On 1 July 2010 the IASC Foundation will formally change its name to the IFRS Foundation. The change represents the next step in a process to simplify the names in use across the organisation announced following the conclusion of the Constitutional Review in 2010. The International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) and the Standards Advisory Council (SAC) have already been renamed as the IFRS Interpretations Committee and the IFRS Advisory Council, respectively.
The name of the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) will remain unchanged.
Beyond the change in name, there are no other changes affecting the legal status of the Foundation, its structure or its operating terms and conditions.
The unifying logo of the organisation will be as shown below.
Why has the name been changed?
The name change is designed to reflect more clearly what the Foundation does, namely the publication and promotion of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs).
Will the IASB website and email addresses change?
The Foundation is in the process of reflecting the change of name on its website, all email addresses and other public communications. The IASB's new website address will be www.ifrs.org and all email addresses will end in @ifrs.org. However, from 1 July all webpages and email addresses ending in iasb.org will be rerouted to ifrs.org, so you shouldn't experience any difficulties.

Psychedelics, Therapy
Posted on October 24, 2022 January 20, 2023 by Mike Russelford
Every time I travel to Brazil, my heart misses a warm beat and I experience a bit of heart aches a little. As part of my book tour to promote Substance use for Grown-Ups: Running after Liberty in the Land of Fear, I recently visited that region. The data that supported my claims was warmly received by sizable crowds in several cities. Even those who were hesitant to fully accept my suggestion that we regulate the sale and use of popular medicines in the same way that we process with alcohol and tobacco participated in a mature discussion. When discussing drug-related matters, it restored my faith in people's capacity for logic and reason.
Robin, who's my wife and I visited to Ipanema pharmacy on the night before our flight back to the US in order to get a COVID-19 test. To get around the language issue, we were joined by our white Brazilian buddy Julita. We received rapid assistance from a charming and knowledgeable young white pharmacist. She started filling out the necessary demographic papers right away, properly marking without being prompted Robin's race as white. However, this confident professional suddenly halted like a coyote caught in a flashlight when the race question appeared on my form. She sheepishly turned to Julita and said in Portuguese, "What shall I write?" "You assume you have some people who don't like to be labeled Black," I preemptively said in response to Julita's perplexed expression. To buy shrooms Canada, visit Canada Mushrooms.
Race is a complex and emotive topic with wide-ranging social implications in Brazil, as it is in many other locations. The distinctions between races appear hazy but firm, at least to an outsider. For instance, a sizable section of the populace is descended from indigenous peoples, Africans, and Europeans. As a result, it is challenging to divide people into neat racial categories. However, it is evident that Black Brazilians account for more than half of the population. However, it is obvious and clear that they are at the very bottom of the racial hierarchy of the nation. The white minority, in contrast, occupies a prominent place at the top.
The pharmacist's query, in Julita's opinion, was driven by twisted benevolence. She had noted that I was a tourist from the United States and possibly a "important" person. She reasoned that I wouldn't want to be associated with one of the most demonized groups in the nation: Black people. She kindly provided me with the option to identify as anything besides Black. She believed she was helping me out. Without repercussions, I could stealthily retreat into the "racial closet." It doesn't matter that my racial heritage is clear-cut. I am definitely Black. Ultimately, I told her this, and that is exactly what I said.
However, this experience made me consider the similarities that underprivileged groups, such as drug users, share. It also forced me to consider why it's critical for me to publicly support the oppressed. The narrative that are offered relating to these groups are frequently basic, insufficient, and outright false. The idea that young Black males in Brazil are ferocious and dangerous is a widely held stereotype. Many are also thought of as drug users and smugglers. What's worse, these slanted depictions frequently contain cynical political rhetoric that is turned into oppressive laws and practices, which further dehumanizes people.
If I didn't speak out for the underprivileged, what sort of man would I be? When I think about my personal experience being a black man living in the United States, which is similar to my Brazilian brethren's predicament, this question becomes even more important. Authorities are skilled at leveraging drug-related concerns to disparage and oppress the underprivileged and Black people in both countries. I therefore cannot deny using some of these drugs any more than I can deny my race. Shying away from either is a betrayal of both my own and other people's humanity. These are individuals that are merely attempting to lead worthwhile lives, just like me.
I can still picture the exact moment I made the decision to bring myself out of tye closet of the drug-user. It wasn't an easy choice to make. I had just begun my second year as department head at the time, and the youngest of my children was just sixteen. I was aware that even being accused of doing drugs may have had a negative impact on my child and career. However, during July 2017, as part of the preparation for my colonoscopy, I was questioned routinely about my drug use. I had admitted to using marijuana and drink occasionally. Next, the nurse probed, "Do you use other drugs?"
Should I be truthful," I questioned. More often than not, I considered myself to be a guy of integrity. However, being in charge of a department was proving to be a valuable lesson in the stark contrast between one's sense of oneself and reality. I had to participate in the faculty recruitment game, for instance, as part of my job. I bargained with prospective new faculty members in an effort to recruit them to Columbia. Many of them had no decision of leaving their current roles, despite the fact that nearly all had sought for jobs with us and some had even received offers from us. Just a game, really. It was used to receive a job offer from Columbia that might be used to encourage their own institutions to provide them greater funding, lab space, or other benefits.
It was an unsettling game that was also dishonest. But despite my reluctance, I played along.
I was now asked to participate in the drug lying game, which was a new game. I was expected to exaggerate the extent of my drug use, particularly if it involved dangerous substances like methamphetamine or heroin. On the other hand, prior drug usage was acceptable and might be openly stated. It's acceptable to admit, for instance, that you once used heroin as a "youthful indiscretion." In some communities, it's also acceptable—and even preferred—to have once struggled with something like a heroin addiction but to have overcome it.
We frequently have to accept unfounded beliefs about particular medicines because of the drug lying game. Due to its inherent risks, heroin is one substance that is allegedly prohibited in the United States. According to this reasoning, using heroin is inherently riskier than using a pistol or tobacco, which are both legal activities. Each year, there exists to be above 450,000 deaths in the United States alone that can be directly linked to cigarette use, and there are more than 40,000 deaths from gun violence. Just over 15,000 deaths involving heroin were at an all-time high in 2017. This figure is much lower than the fatality rates linked to tobacco use and firearms. Go over to Canada Mushrooms to buy shrooms Canada today.
Furthermore, it's crucial to note that the term "heroin-related deaths" does not necessarily imply that heroin happened to be the reason behind their death. It simply indicates that it was discovered inside the deceased person's body. The majority of the time, a variety of compounds are discovered in the deceased person's body, and it is frequently impossible to identify their exact concentrations. To be clear, I do not support more restrictions on the concept tobacco or firearms. Instead, I'm trying to show that the claims we make about how using heroin is fundamentally riskier than using nicotine or a gun are unsupported by data.
The nurse in charge waited for my untruthful response as I returned to the colonoscopy examination room. The task was beyond my capabilities. I was worn out. I had had enough of lying. When drug users were portrayed in crude stories as reckless, damaged souls, virtually entirely, I was unable to remain silent any longer. I therefore disclosed all of my recent use of drug, which includes using cocaine, heroin, and methamphetamine among other drugs. After the nurse had recovered from her first shock, my colonoscopy went over without a hitch.
I'm conscious that if I admit to doing narcotics publicly, some people might be offended. People who profit from the drug war might even try to ruin my reputation by making up accusations that I'm an addict merely because I made a disclosure about me using one or more drugs that are stigmatized. This is a desperate stab at it. I have not come in contact with the criteria for drug addiction, but that is irrelevant when determining the truth of the arguments presented. We wouldn't label someone an alcoholic merely because they occasionally drink.
The message is that drug usage does not necessarily lead to addiction. The definition of addiction requires that a person be troubled by their drug use in order for it to be considered to meet this standard. Additionally, the person's drug usage must interfere with crucial daily activities including parenting, employment, and close relationships. Head over to Canada Mushrooms to buy shrooms Canada.
The majority of drug users won't develop an addiction, which is another crucial fact. That's true, 70–90% of users of even the most despised narcotics, like heroin or crack cocaine, are not addicts. It would therefore be unreasonable to attribute addiction to a drug if the majority of users of that drug do not develop addiction. It would be similar to blaming food for eating disorders.
In the end, I am confident that choosing to leave the closet was the right decision. Yes, it's dangerous and even scary. But battling to rectify society's wrongs is never without cost. I feel sorry for anyone who hesitates to take action against injustice just because it can be risky, especially so-called "allies." It is cowardly and dishonorable to maintain my substance use, for that matter—a secret. Such games are not my cup of tea. Too many people's lives are at risk.

...Climate change first received international attention at the Rio Earth Summit held in Rio de Janeiro in 1992. As one of the Summit results, the 'UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)' was adopted for action to "stabilize greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system".
The United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) has praised China for promoting rural tourism as a way to fight poverty, the organization said on Tuesday.
Rates of adult obesity increased in six US states and fell in none last year, and in more states than ever - 20 - at least 30 percent of adults are obese, according to an analysis released this week.
The conclusions were reported by the Trust for America's Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and were based on federal government data. They suggest the problem may be worsening despite widespread publicity about the nation's obesity epidemic, from First Lady Michelle Obama and many others, plus countless programs to address it.
UN, 15 May 2014 – People everywhere are living longer, the United Nations health agency today reported, mostly because fewer children are dying, certain diseases are in check, and tobacco use is down, but conditions in low-income countries continue to plague life quality there.
According to the UN World Health Organization's (WHO) World Health Statistics 2014, a girl born in 2012 can expect to live around 73 years and a boy to the age of 68. That is six years longer than the average life span for a child in 1990.
18 February 2014 – The water, sanitation and sustainable energy crises are the among the world's pre-eminent development challenges, senior United Nations officials warned today, urging Member States to adopt coherent integrated policies and innovative strategies to tackle these issues, which take a tragic toll on the lives of millions of poor people, especially women and young girls.
"Lack of access to water, sanitation and sustainable energy services is a compound magnifier of poverty, ill-health and mortality, and gender inequality," said General Assembly President John Ashe as he opened the 193-member body's thematic debate on the issue.

AUSTRALIAN Jewish News stalwart Joshua Levi was posthumously honoured with a Changemaker Award on Monday night for his outstanding contributions to Australian society, the Jewish community and Israel.
Levi, who passed away in February at the age of 36, worked on the paper for 10 years and went on to become its deputy editor and later CEO.
At this week's B'nai B'rith and JNF Jewish Changemaker Awards ceremony, hosted via Zoom, it was announced that a new category is being added to the annual awards in his honour.
The Joshua Levi Professional Changemaker Award will recognise young communal professionals who excel in their field.
The awards, until now, have been volunteer-based.
Presenting the inaugural award to Levi's family, AJN national editor Zeddy Lawrence said, "Everything [Josh] wrote was for the public interest and for the communal interest. It was about making the Jewish community a better, safer and more honest environment for all of its members.
"As a community, it is incumbent on us to encourage others to follow in his footsteps and to recognise their endeavours."
In the youth category this year, the JNF Award for Contribution to the Jewish Community was jointly won by Emanuel School students Chloe Miller and Liat Granot. The pair has served in a variety of capacities in volunteering and partnering for the celebration and advancement of Jewish life at school and in the wider Sydney community.
Fellow Emanuel student Lara Fosbery jointly won the award for Contribution to Australian Society for her passionate engagement with sustainability and climate action; Adam Leizer of Moriah College also won the award for his volunteer work with Kids Giving Back, COA, Scouts and Music for Mateship.
Meanwhile, Tzofim madrich Jonathan Francis took home the award for Contribution to the State of Israel for his effort with the Israeli Scouts in Australia.
In the young adult category, the award for Contribution to the Jewish Community was jointly won by Dane Stern, who is involved in a range of communal organisations including the NSW Jewish Board of Deputies, and AUJS WA president Dylan Kotkis for his work in raising the profile and presence of young members of the Perth Jewish community.
The Contribution to the State of Israel award went to Yoel Benn for his involvement in Habonim Dror Perth and commitment to the values of justice, tikkun olam, and individual and communal responsibility.
Communal identity Simone Starikov won the award for Contribution to Australian Society for her efforts in arranging an event to raise funds for the NSW Rural Fire Service in the wake of the devastating bushfires, and for connecting young Australians – both Jewish and non-Jewish – with the memory of the Holocaust.
Lastly, the B'nai B'rith Award for Leadership went to Jarod Rhine-Davis for his work in repairing relationships between the Australian queer and Jewish communities, and for facilitating cross-community collaboration opportunities.
JNF national executive assistant Etty Ayalon said, "We aim to acknowledge the outstanding pool of passionate activists in our community, supporting them on their journey in becoming young professionals and leaders.
"As a community we should be extremely proud of all the nominees and their achievements."

Literally. The ones that have been assaulting me since summer, that is.
I have no idea exactly what kind of flies they are but they're probably about 4 times smaller than houseflies and about as many times bigger than sandflies, or no-see-um's. While we do have our fair share of the latter, they don't seem to bother me much when I'm outside doing yardwork. For the most part, they leave me alone, it's the mid-sized, as-of-yet-unnamed biters that torment me.
Today, while trying to clear a path through some bushes, I was left alone at first and I thought maybe I'd get lucky and they'd leave me alone. For once. After letting me live in that wistful, delusional world for about a minute, they then proceeded to swarm around my face, fly up my nose, into my mouth, into every orifice available. It's quite fortunate that I was wearing pants, otherwise they might've found another place to fly up into.
They bit me on the face ruthlessly, drawing blood at least three times. Once on the side of my nose which proceeded to swell up and feel a little numb for a while.
I tried to work for as long as I could but after 1½ hours I'd had enough of being a human pincushion and fled.
Nothing seems to deter these flying little vampires, no amount of waving or arm thrashing keeps them away, and they seem completely impervious to bug spray. There doesn't seem to be any escape from them, I encounter them no matter where I go in Kitamaat Village. The strange thing is, I don't remember being bothered by them so much before this summer, now they instinctively flock to me like the salmon of Capistrano anytime I step outside.
Where did they come from? Why are there so bloody many of them? Why aren't they dead yet when it's almost winter? It's bizarre and aggravating.
I'm quite sure that they have a proper name, I don't what that could be but I call them PITA flies.
PITA is a term I've been using a fair bit lately. No, it has nothing to do with pocket bread.
If there's a more fitting name for these pests, I have yet to hear it. They definitely deserve and live up to it.

Q: Fourier transform of $g(x) = \frac{1}{1+x^{2}}$ I was given the problem of calculating the Fourier transform of $$g(x) = \frac{1}{1 + x^2}$$ however I didn't know where to start. More specifically, I know that we should be calculating this.
$$\hat{g}(\xi): = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} \frac{1}{1 + x^2}e^{-2\pi ix\xi}dx$$
I think I should start with  For $\xi \leq 0$, try integrating $$f(z)= \frac{1}{1+z^2}e^{−2\pi iz \xi}$$over an appropriate keyhole contour (the residue theorem). I think the hole here should be $i$. But I really didn't know how to start with the calculation! Appreciated your help in advance.

If there are behaviors and actions that you would like your dog to start doing, this would be a good product to do that. When the clicker device is used, the dog will be more productive in following the positive behaviors that you want to achieve.
It works for a variety of behavior concerns. The different tones work well in teaching numerous reinforcements of proper actions and obedience. The whistle that is included with this bundle can offer any pet owner a dog that will begin to listen.

THE ALIENIST - Season One
My primary recollection of Caleb Carr's novel The Alienist, which I read fifteen years ago, is thinking a screen adaptation was inevitable. Set in 1896 New York City, with a team of investigators using pioneering methods to identify and capture a serial killer preying on juvenile male prostitutes, it played with the "birth of criminal profiling" conceit and played upon readers' familiarity with modern forensics as these mavericks work outside a corrupt and hidebound system. The characters were sketched in broad strokes, but the historical backdrop, period detail, and mix of real-life and fictional figures gave the proto-procedural premise a compelling hook. It seemed destined to be a movie. Instead, it was developed by writer/producer Hossein Amini (Drive) as a ten-part cable series for TNT.
Daniel Brühl is psychiatrist Dr. Laszlo Kreizler, a student of Freud and the alienist of the title. (Each episode opens with the reminder: "In the 19th century, persons suffering from mental illness were thought to be alienated from their own true natures. Experts who studied them were therefore known as alienists.") Summoned by New York City police commissioner Theodore Roosevelt (Brian Geraghty) to consult on the gruesome murders of young boys, Kreizler recruits his friend John Moore (Luke Evans), an artist and freelance journalist, as an assistant and field agent, and gathers a team that includes police pathologists Marcus and Lucius Isaacson (Douglas Smith and Matthew Shear), Jewish brothers sidelined by the Irish old boys' club, and Roosevelt's secretary Sara Howard (Dakota Fanning), a sharp mind overlooked in the chauvinistic force.
It's a familiar set-up for an interesting if not terribly original mystery, with the usual blind alleys and official obstructions. Brühl's Kreizler is the dour humanitarian whose brusque manner covers his own psychological baggage and Evans' Moore rebels from his silver-spoon life with the company of hookers. They are a warped Holmes and Watson team without any real sense of history or devotion, while the romantic dance between the lady-killer Moore and the wary Howard is routine. But it all plays out on a glorious recreation of late 19th-century New York City, the show reveling in the culture of political corruption and high society hypocrisy as well as the squalor of the homeless boys reduced to dressing as girls for the street trade. It's both appalling and fascinating, a part of the culture of poverty and social neglect that Dickens never broached in Oliver Twist. There's a gleefully sordid quality to the proceedings and the characters are more interesting when working as a team than as individuals dealing with their own issues (and yes, they have plenty). The show bucks at least one convention: the investigators solve the mystery of the killer's identity in a satisfyingly methodical manner well before the final episode. The challenge is to find this character before the next murder. And just like the novel, it leaves room for a whole series of cases to follow.

It's no secret that the IT market is always in flux. Whether it's the latest security offering, new technology partnerships or a reinvigorated focus on channel partners, there's no shortage of tech vendor happenings that solution providers might be interested in. It can be hard to keep up with it all, but hey, that's what CRN is here for. Last week, CRN's publisher, The Channel Company, hosted the 2016 XChange Solution Provider conference in Los Angeles, bringing together some of the industry's top VARs, systems integrators and strategic service providers with key channel-savvy vendors. Here's a look at what some of those vendors are up to right now, and why it matters to solution providers.


While stopped following a traffic collision an officer believes to have detected an odor of alcohol coming from our client. The officer also claims to have observed a bar wristband, as well as slurred speech. The officer requested five field sobriety exercises be completed and our client agreed. The Officer believed all five tests to be failures. While on the scene, our client declined to consent to a breath test.
The State would not agree to reduce or drop the charge so we went to trial. Our client was found not guilty after a jury trial.


In What's New? , you will find not only my new works, fresh off the palette, but also a number of sections of interesting works which are experimental for me. New things I hadn't tried before...new media, subject matter, and techniques. Some of what I now consider to be my best work were at first terrible mistakes. Through perseverance I have learned that sometimes, not always, but sometimes, I can let those mistakes "sit" for a while and then make a series of changes to those "mistakes" until occasionally a whole new piece evolves, sometimes much better than what I had originally planned. Many of my beach rocks, especially "Dancing with Stones" are a good example of this morphing process.
All the original paintings of rocks and stones in my "Stonedust Color" Series have been painted exclusively with watercolors which I make by extracting color from stones. The stones are dipped in water and rubbed onto a larger flat stone which becomes my palette. The resulting watercolor paints are then used to create paintings of multi-colored stones and rocks. I have recently experimented with grinding mica from granite to add a soft sparkle to some of my paintings.
I have found that adults in general are curious about this creative process, but children are absolutely fascinated. Because teaching children has been my life's work, I have thoroughly enjoyed sharing this creative process with them. Children are often very unfamiliar with the creative concept of making a useful item with "found gifts of the Earth" rather than going to a store to purchase the item. Creating watercolor from a found stone to paint a picture is an interesting and exciting experience for many children. Outdoor excursions to collect just the right stone for a painting also provides children with a new respect for the natural environment.
Click on the fourth piece in this series, Somewhere a Dragon Flys, for information on and photos of this collaborative artistic effort by myself and a group of children at Beaver Brook Nature Center.
In 2013 I was one of a group of six artists who got together to produce six different paintings in collaborative fashion. In "tongue-and-cheek" fashion we called ourselves the "Not-So-Fine Artists" and we presented a show we called "Whose Brush Is It Anyway?" at a community fundraiser in Windham, NH. Each one of us began a painting separately at home using a different resource photo and different media. We then brought our "just begun" paintings to the Windham High School. For the next 5 hours we painted at one large table, round-robin style. At the sound of a whistle every 45 minutes, we jumped up. Off we rushed to the next artist's spot in a sometimes befuddled attempt to begin working with what often was a very unfamiliar media. Our collective frustrations, mistakes, and laughter were open for all to see providing comic entertainment for those who passed by. At the end, our collective work was auctioned off to benefit the fundraiser. Each of us was then allowed to take the painting home and work for another 45 minutes to finish it off before the owner took possession.

Reuters publishes report that got two of their journalists arrested by the Burmese government
by Luke Ryan Feb 12, 2018
The Investigation:
"Muslim houses were easy to burn because of the thatched roofs. You just light the edge of the roof," said a Buddhist villager, claiming they used monks' robes on the ends of sticks, soaked in kerosene, to make impromptu torches.
The investigation by the two Reuters journalists in Burma/Myanmar is significant for several reasons, beyond the many investigations that have been already been conducted, shining lights on the myriad of human rights abuses throughout Burma. Most of the investigative journalism comes out of the refugee camps in Bangladesh, where almost 690,000 Rohingya Muslims have fled for their lives. However, this most recent investigation uncovered the summary execution of 10 Rohingya men and their burial in a mass grave — all corroborated by the Rohingya refugees and family members, local Buddhist villagers, and even the Burmese soldiers involved in the killings. This kind of due-diligence caused even the Burmese government to admit the existence of the mass grave, something they rarely do.
To understand why the Buddhist villagers were involved, it is important to understand a brief history of their involvement and proximity to the Rohingya Muslims. The massacre happened in the village of Inn Din, a place in Rakhine State where Rohingya Muslims and Rakhine Buddhists live side-by-side. They are certainly distinct from one another, and many call the Rohingya "Bengalis," referring to the migration of the Rohingya into Burma just after WWII. Because of this migration by their ancestors, many consider them not to be Burmese at all — even the government. This is despite the fact that, unless they are of WWII age, they likely were born and grew up in Burma, just as their parents did.
As tensions raised and Rohingya insurgents attacked several Burmese police outposts, the tide changed when the Burmese government went on all all out offensive against anyone Rohingya, insurgent, civilian or anywhere in between. This offensive cost the lives of 1,200 Rohingya children under the age of 5 in the first month, according to a report by Doctors Without Borders.
Tensions within Inn Din were rising along with everywhere else in Rakhine state, and the divide between the Rohingya Muslims and the Rakhine Buddhists began to grow. In late August, 80 soldiers went down to the village and recruited sympathetic Buddhist villagers. They went to the homes of the Rohingya Muslims and, together, burned them down. Reuters talked to several of these people, and one even reported the sounds of a child inside one of the homes as it burned.
This of course drove the Rohingya out of Inn Din.
The Burmese army took 10 Rohingya men from their place of refuge, seemingly by random, and told the civilians there that they needed them for a meeting. No such meeting occurred — they were summarily executed. Some were shot and some were hacked to death, by both Burmese soldiers and Buddhist villagers that had once been their neighbors. The oldest man was 45; the youngest was 17.
Though the Burmese government admitted to the existence of the grave, they claimed that they were under attack from 200 "terrorists" armed with swords and sticks. However, Reuters' investigation went through Burmese soldiers, Rohingya refugees and Buddhist villagers — all of which deny that this attack ever happened.
The U.N. has described the actions against the Rohingya as "textbook ethnic cleansing," and the U.S. has been consistently condemning the actions of the Burmese government since the onset of their Rohingya offensive. U.S. Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, also said that the violence "constitutes ethnic cleansing."

The Journalists:
This is the story that the two journalists were working on when they were arrested. Again, their evidence comes from multiple angles, incriminating the actions of the Burmese military and the Inn Din Buddhist villagers from all angles — to include themselves. The journalists, Ko Wa Lone and Ko Kyaw Soe Oo, were invited to a dinner at a Burmese police official's house, when they were subsequently arrested under the colonial-era Official Secrets Act. Some reports say that they were handed incriminating evidence and then immediately arrested thereafter.
The Ministry of Information said that they, "illegally acquired information with the intention to share it with foreign media." The two are facing 14 years in prison under the act, and many have seen it as yet another way of the Burmese government impinging upon the nation's freedom of speech.
Multiple news agencies have been vying to travel to Inn Din to verify and continue to cover the story, but they have been consistently denied entry by the Burmese government.
The pertinent part of the Official Secrets Act reads as follows:
3. (1) If any person for any purpose prejudicial to the safety or interests of the State—
(c) obtains, collects, records or publishes or communicates to any other person any secret
official code or password, or any sketch, plan, model, article or note or other document or
information which is calculated to be or might be or is intended to be, directly or
indirectly, useful to an enemy."
Reuters has now published the investigative piece they were working on when they were arrested, linked above.

'They were wrong' when I was told it was 'irrelevant' to study north, says new top think tank boss
Arianna Giovannini was told the politics of the North was irrelevant when as a PhD candidate she decided to focus on the failures of previous devolved bodies.
By Caitlin Doherty
Saturday, 27th November 2021, 6:00 am
It is a great irony, then, that she now presides over one of the most influential thinktanks across the northern regions, at a time when Westminster politics has never been more interested in what voters from either side of the Pennines and beyond have to say.
"Luckily, I was right and they were wrong", she tells The Yorkshire Post.
Dr Giovannini is the new interim director of the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) North, and she says "there couldn't be a more interesting and important time to be doing this job."
Dr Arianna Giovannini
"The aim of the thinktank is really making sure that the North finds its voice, especially when it comes to having an impact on policy decisions that are made in London, and as we know, they do need to hear the voice of the North because of the regional inequalities that cut across our country," she says.
An Italian academic, and expert in devolution and local government across England, Dr Giovannini first spent some time at the University of Exeter. However she was later attracted to Leeds Beckett University - then known as Leeds Metropolitan University - which was offering scholarships for students to focus on Northern Studies.
"Back then I ended up actually doing my PhD on the failure of regional assemblies in 2004 in the North of England," she remembers.
"I was probably the only person studying that process, many people told me, 'why are you doing this? The North is not relevant anymore, the assembly didn't happen, so that agenda is over'."
The years of research has given her an in-depth perspective on regional disparities across the country, and the countless administrations who have attempted to tackle them.
She explains: "We tend to look at England as if it was like a kind of a homogeneous sort of nation.
"But there are so many differences in terms of what happens on the ground, and in places like the North.
"The North has been on and off the political agenda for many years - the regional inequalities have been on the agenda for many years.
"But the problems are still persisting, and no government has been able to find a solution to them.
"So it's still a very exciting area of research."
A decade on since she first started her studies in the UK, she believes there has now been a "cultural shift" within academia which has popularised the subject, with cohorts of "young scholars from Newcastle to Liverpool" now looking at the issues that first attracted her to this "fascinating" area of study.
It has signalled "a change in the view that the North is not just an irrelevant kind of appendix of London" she adds.
Act now to save thousands of jobs by making Yorkshire and the North a world lead...
"Or an area that needs the help of London to thrive.
"But actually there is more and more discussion on what the North can do for itself, and how new processes of devolution across the north can actually help foster that process."
Dr Giovannini takes on the interim IPPR role alongside her position at De Montfort University in Leicester, where she is an Associate Professor in Local Politics and Public Policy.
In her time devoted to this area of expertise, she says she has seen "some changes" in local politics and how it is regarded by Whitehall.
Not least the introduction of a number of Metro Mayors across the country, something she believes the north has really taken advantage of.
"Creating new institutions like Metro mayors means really giving the voice to new local leaders," Dr Giovannini says.
"And I think that the North has been very good in making the most of that opportunity, despite the fact that devolution deals give a limited amount of powers to the mayors.
"The mayors have found their space, they've managed to kind of harness the kind of the opportunities that there are s when leadership is locally rooted. And that's how they're making a difference right now."
But will these processes make any difference?
"Is Westminster listening? Well, perhaps not in full, but now they have a number of leaders that actually put them on the spot when things don't happen.
"So the process is still ongoing, but things have been changing. And I think that having Metro mayor's in the North is making a difference.
With the long-promised Levelling Up White Paper expected before the end of the year, which it is hoped will lay out some more detail on how the Government's flagship levelling up promises can be measured and achieved, Dr Giovannini hopes to see a "deepening and broadening" of devolution powers, which should mean "this process will become more ingrained and the centre will have to listen even more."
"What will happens in areas like the North, that are usually tagged as being kind of lagging behind the in economic terms, but in fact, are thriving and are full of assets?" Dr Giovannini asks.
"What they need, perhaps is a form of institutions that have their own political voice. One that can lobby and make their voice heard at the centre."

Nienke Eijsink (Borne, 1977) is een Nederlands kunstenares,  documentair regisseur, filmmaker en filmdocent.

In 2001 studeerde Eijsink cum laude af aan de Willem de Kooning Academie te Rotterdam. Daarna volgde zij een mastersopleiding aan het Sandberg Instituut in Amsterdam. Na haar afstuderen werd haar doel om de lesbische cultuur zichtbaar te maken. Naast haar eigen interactieve kunstprojecten doet ze de regie en montage van documentaires voor programma's van de Nederlandse omroepen. Ze is onder andere ook producent  en eindredacteur van Jaduhh, een multicultureel tv-programma voor jongeren.

In haar persoonlijke werk legt ze de focus op de lesbische cultuur door bijvoorbeeld heteroscenes uit bekende werken van televisie te vertolken naar een lesbische context. Dit noemt zij 'Visuele Slash'. Een Slash verwijst naar het werk van fans die hun fantasie de vrije loop laten door verhalen waarin hun idolen voorkomen te herschrijven, een vorm van visuele fanfiction. Door specifieke scenes uit heteroseksuele verhaallijnen de knippen en te koppelen aan een lesbische verhaallijn, ontstaat er een 'Visuele Slash'. Met dit project wilde Eijsink benadrukken dat lesbisch zijn onderdeel is van het dagelijks leven.

Eijsink is sinds 2002 verbonden aan de Hogeschool Inholland. Ze geeft les aan studenten Audiovisueel en Televisie van de opleiding Creative Business en begeleidt studenten bij het maken van films in opdracht.
