Museum Team visit to Norton's 5000 year old time capsule
Published Friday 23 August 2013 | By Keith Fitzpatrick-Matthews
This year's summer excavation by the Norton Community Archaeology Group is coming to an end, so today the museum team went to see what they have found.
Archaeology Officer Keith gives the Museum Team the guided tour
Archaeological Officer Keith points out a pit
It is a very interesting site, which Keith really brings to life. I would encourage those of you who are able to go along to the Open Day tomorrow and have a look for yourself. If you can't visit, Keith and other members of the Norton Group have been keeping a blog detailing the progress each day, and posting pictures of some of the finds.
Looking for hedgebanks
Published Friday 3 May 2013 | By Keith Fitzpatrick-Matthews
Locating ancient boundaries in the landscape
The Norton Inclosure Map, 1796
A few weeks ago, I accompanied Brian Sawford (the former Keeper of Natural History for North Herts Museums) on a short walk across some fields on the northern edge of Letchworth Garden City, historically part of the parish of Norton. The reason for going out was to look at the landscape of an area that had been put forward for consultation as a potential location for new housing to the north of the present Grange Estate. Although I had not set out with the intention of examining hedgerows, it quickly became apparent that there were some potentially ancient hedges in what I had always considered to be elements of the Inclosure landscape (the Act for Norton was passed in 1796): these hedges were species rich, stood on low banks and separated fields where the land surface was different by up to a metre either side of the hedge.
Many people are familiar with what is known as Hooper's Hedgerow Hypothesis, the idea that the number of woody species within a thirty-yard stretch of hedge multiplied by 100 (or 110, according to some versions) gives an approximate age for the hedge in years. The original concept was developed by Max Hooper in the early 1970s and has been used widely ever since. Its appeal is its simplicity: so long as one can recognise the different woody species needed for counting, one can estimate the date of the hedge. There are problems, of course. A recent hedge may have been deliberately planted with numerous species for decorative effect; conversely an ancient hedge may have been kept free from invasive species by diligent farmers. Elms, especially, are likely to have vanished from hedgerows following the epidemic of Dutch Elm Disease in the early 1970s.
Hedgerows in Norton
A few years ago, members of the Norton Community Archaeology Group started work on a hedgerow survey in the hope of identifying a hedge mentioned in medieval manorial court documents. Unfortunately, the distinguishing feature of this particular hedge was that it was characterised by elms. As already noted, elms do not survive well in this area. To compound matters, most of the hedges they examined proved not to be species rich. Rather disheartened, the team stopped work and matters were left there until I went for my walk with Brian.
Field and hedgerow north-east of the Grange Estate
As it was a beautiful morning, I decided that today would be a good time to go back into the fields armed with maps that I could annotate. My intention was to note the principal character of the hedgerow, to determine whether or not it had a bank and to look at differences in height between the ground on either side. These changes happen on sloping ground, where soil moves downhill during ploughing; if there is a hedgerow (or some other boundary, such as a road) in the way, soil will pile up on the uphill side and be eroded on the downslope side. As this sort of soil creep is quite slow, it is a good indication of the antiquity of the boundary; it is even more telling when one or both of the fields are under pasture, meaning that the ploughing that caused the movement of soil was itself ancient.
I concentrated on three areas: to the north of the historic core of the village, towards Norton End in Stotfold; Norton Common (which was only created as a common by the Inclosure Act of 1796 and where pre-enclosure ridge-and-furrow earthworks survive well); and to the west of Standalone Farm. The first and third of these areas include the county boundary, which is named Stodfaldes dic ("Stotfold's Ditch (or Dyke)") in the boundary clause of a charter dating from 1007, so the survival of any earthwork here would be very significant.
North of the village
The track that was "the way to Stotfold" around 1700
I started from the village pond, by the junction of Croft Lane and Norton Road. From here, the Garden City Greenway leads north-north-west, alongside a plain hawthorn hedge with no bank. It runs between two surviving bits of ridge-and-furrow cultivation, the easternmost of which was surveyed by a team from North Herts Museums in January 1986. The Greenway passes through another plain hawthorn hedge with no bank and turns left to follow a hedge trending more to the north-west that again had no bank and appeared to be mainly hawthorn. I followed the path that crosses the field, along the line of a track marked as the way to Stotfold on an anonymous map of c 1700. This passes through a species rich hedge on a slight bank that looks to be ancient; however, it does no appear on the Inclosure Map, so it must be later than 1796. It then passes through the corner of a triangular field, whose northern hedgerow stands on a bank around 0.5 m high. Beyond this, the track continues north with a hedgerow to the east; the field beyond this hedgerow is about 0.5 m lower than the track. As the track descends the slope towards Norton End, the height difference between it and the field to the east increases to around a metre. This suggests that the hedgerow and track are ancient: we have the map evidence to confirm this.
Before reaching Stotfold Road south of Norton End, the ancient track meets a clearly modern farm track, lying between plain hawthorn hedges. Its continuation to Stotfold Road is no longer visible across a ploughed field. To the north-east of Stotfold Road is an area that was known as Mosses Corner around 1700. Leading away to the east-south-east is a track with a very definite hedgebank to its south; this is shown on the Inclosure map and is likely to be ancient. Indeed, the whole landscape between Mosses Corner and Nortonbury is an area that was already enclosed at the time of the Inclosure Award and is probably connected with the late medieval sheep farming known to have been important at Nortonbury. The northern edge of Mosses Corner, though, is the county boundary. In this area, it performs a series of zigzags that look as if they were designed to go around the edges of fields; I has always been puzzled about how ancient they were and wondered if they were a result of some sort of recent changes, as they are not obvious on the map of c 1700. However, there is a very substantial bank here, around a metre in height and probably two to three metres wide at its base. This is a typical early medieval boundary bank and is clearly the feature referred to in 1007 as Stodfaldes dic: if my guess that the zigzags were designed to go around existing boundaries is correct, then we are looking at traces of lost features more than a thousand years old. The bank continues west across Norton Road, zigzagging a few more times.
Hedgerow bank north-east of the Grange Playing Field
Following the modern farm track south-west from Stotfold Road brings you to a turn to a north-westerly direction and then to a boundary crossing it a right angles, followed by a drain in a ditch. To the north-east, the boundary is composed of scrubby woodland, but to the south-west, it follows a species rich boundary that includes mature trees. The field surface to the north-west of the boundary lies about a metre lower than the path and the field to the south-east, once again suggesting an ancient origin. This boundary is also shown on the 1796 map. The track then meets the corner of the Grange Playing Field, where LIDAR data shows that ridge-and-furrow earthworks survive (although I could not see them in the strong sunlight today). Following the boundary along the north-eastern side of the playing field, the hedgerow is thick and on a bank, while the field to the north-east is about a metre lower than the playing field. Passing beyond the end of the playing field and still continuing to the south-east, the hedgerow continues on a significant bank.
Norton Common
Since I was a child in the 1960s, I have been aware that there are significant areas of ridge-and-furrow earthworks surviving on Norton Common, both beneath the greensward and in the woodland. I did a rapid reconnaissance to see if there were any obvious relict hedgebanks. The only potential bank I found lies towards the north-western corner of the common, just east of the path that runs parallel with the tributary of the Pix Brook from almost opposite Grange Road to join the main path through the Common south of the Pix Brook proper.
Around Standalone Farm
Local residents will know Standalone Farm as a good place to take the children for a day out, especially when the weather is good. When I was a child, it was an ordinary working farm, with a dairy herd that I could hear mooing from our garden. The place is a bit of an historical puzzle: it is not shown on the early printed map by Dury and Andrews (1776) and does not figure on the Inclosure map (although Standalone Cottages, fronting Wilbury Road, do, even though they appear to be built from Victorian Arlesey brick!). However, it does appear on the draft Ordnance Survey two-inches-to-the-mile map as Waterden Farm. This is very interesting as I've always been puzzled by the fact that the farmhouse is Listed Grade II and is described as dating from the seventeenth century. I have long wondered why it does not seem to have been mentioned before the nineteenth century, but Waterden appears as an unspecified place in Middle Field in a church terrier of 1637. Better still, Waterden is also named in the later sixteenth century.
West of the farm, there is a hedgerow running almost due north from Wilbury Road (an enclosure road) to the county boundary. The hedgerow sits on a slight bank and there are stumps of dead and clearly very old hawthorns along its line. The hedgerow does not appear on the Inclosure Map, but then nor does Standalone Farm. I am left wondering how accurate the map is for this part of the parish.
Stodfaldes Dic ("Stotfold Dyke"): an earthwork over a thousand years old, as it appears today
At the north end of this hedgerow lies the county boundary and Stodfaldes dic, which is a substantial ditch in this stretch. However, it has clearly been cleaned out in recent years (it is deeper and better defined than I remember it being in the 1970s) and its northern edge has been damaged by the construction of the Greenway, which runs alongside it. Reaching the Pix Brook, all trace of the boundary has been obliterated by the improvement works carried out on the Pix Brook in the 1970s. These were done following flooding in January 1969, when the brook broke its banks, flooded gardens in Valley Road to the west and came far enough up the slope to the east to get into the bottom of our garden in Longmead.
Between Pix Brook and Valley Road is a thin belt of woodland that we used to call The Spinney when I was a child: I don't know if it has ever had a more formal name. I had a memory that when cycling through it as a child, there were several substantial banks and hollows, but I was evidently mistaken, as I could find none. What I did find was a hint of a relict hedgebank in the south end of The Spinney with another roughly at right angles to it. This may be related to the Lower Wilbury Farm that used to stand here. Before the alterations to the Pix Brook in the 1970s, it was possible to see brick foundations in the bottom of the stream that were part of the farmhouse, which burned down in the 1930s.
Hedgerows and history
What my three hours of fieldwork have achieved is that I now recognise the need for a fuller survey, accurately measured and carefully photographed. I suspect that similarly useful work could be carried out in every parish in the District. Any volunteers?
Update on Stapleton's Field Henge
Published Wednesday 1 May 2013 | By Keith Fitzpatrick-Matthews
Radiocarbon dating the henge
Excavating the animal bones in the base of the henge outer ditch
I sent a piece of animal bone off for radiocarbon dating before I went off for my holiday in Malta. The bone is part of the leg of a juvenile pig, placed on the bottom of the outer ditch of the henge before silting began. A radiocarbon date from it ought to give us some idea about when the ditch was last open (it doesn't tell us about when the ditch was dug, as it could have been cleaned out many times over the centuries the henge was in use). As the only pottery from the ditch was of middle Neolithic type, I am hoping that the radiocarbon date will confirm a date before 2800 BC.
Comparing the Norton henge with Maltese megalithic temples
Sir Themistocles (Temi) Zammit (1864-1935), in a bronze by Victor Diacono in the National Museum of Fine Arts, Valletta
Malta is well know for its Neolithic temples, which include some of the oldest stone structures in the world (only Göbekli Tepe, in south-eastern Turkey, is older: even the pyramids of Egypt are not as old). I visited one of the most famous, at Tarxien (pronounced "Tar-sheen"), for the fifth time while away. It was discovered when a farmer turned up large pieces of stone when ploughing a field early in the twentieth century. Sir Themistocles ("Temi") Zammit, the island's principal archaeologist at that time, spent several years excavating the monument and his work there turned up some of the best-known images of prehistoric Europe: spiral decorations, images in low relief of bulls and the lower part of a colossal statue of a very fat person wearing a skirt or kilt (usually assumed to be a woman, for no very good reason).
The Ġgantija phase temple at Tarxien, c 3100 BC
Although the earliest temple at Tarxien dates from the earliest phase of massive temple building (known as the Ġgantija Phase, after a temple complex on Gozo), the style reached its peak with a later Neolithic seven-roomed structure built to its west. This is more-or-less contemporary with the henge at Stapleton's Field, dating from around 3100 to 2500 BC: our henge site was probably built around the same time as the earliest of the temples at Tarxien and was perhaps abandoned around the same time as the latest. Both were constructed by Neolithic farming communities and it is instructive to realise that in both places, the work required was enormous and would have put a real strain on agricultural productivity.
Being prehistoric
It is often tempting to think of prehistoric peoples as "primitive". This is an attitude that goes back to the beginning of archaeology, when wealthy Victorian gentlemen who saw themselves as the pinnacle of civilisation viewed people in Africa, Asia and the Americas as "savages". They compared the societies of these people with what they could discover about the European past and saw many similarities. Of course, there are parallels to be drawn between ancient societies and those that ethnographers study today, but we should not be so quick to make ill-considered value judgements.
The so-called "Fat Lady" of Tarxien (actually a reproduction: the original is in the National Museum of Archaeology in Valletta)
The people who built the Tarxien temples and Stapleton's Field henge were as intelligent and sophisticated as we are. Their lives were as rich and full of joy, conflict, love and pain as our own. The differences between us are largely those of technology and the scale of our societies. The globalised world of the past century or so depends on a range of technologies that make the movement of heavy objects so much easier and the communication of ideas so much faster than they were in the Neolithic. Neolithic farmers lived in dispersed communities; coming together for seasonal meetings at places like Tarxien or Stapleton's Field was their main means of communication, of learning new ideas, and was probably an occasion for employing a lot of muscle power. These people were not constrained by the sorts of deadlines we have: like the builders of a medieval cathedral, they were content to spend decades, even centuries, building their monuments.
The outer ditch of Stapleton's Field henge
This is an important lesson from prehistory. The technology of Neolithic farmers may have been primitive in comparison with ours, but we can still be awe-struck in front of their achievements. As an archaeologist who has shifted untold tonnes of soil over the years, I am well aware just how much effort was put in by the people who excavated the outer ditch of the Stapleton's Field henge to a depth of 1.5 metres and a width of 5 m using only antler picks and cattle shoulder-blade shovels.
I am hoping to be able to reveal the date of the pig bone from the henge around the end of May.

What is it with women and little black dresses?
I didn't even know they are called Little Black Dresses or LBD until I googled it. It was apparently Coco Chanel who created the icon.
Read about here in Smithsonian.com and this Wiki article.
It is indeed women's wardrobe staple and with my collection which I've purchased over the years, I can still wear them because they never get dated.
How many Little Black Dresses do you have?

The evidence for Christianity contained in the Hebrew words aleim and berit ...
Por James Moody
to ;—such conduct, would have been deservedly censured by the world ; not only, as unfair and ungenerous as an opponent, but unbecoming the gentleman, and the scholar. Yet such has been the treatment of Mr. H. and those who have espoused his notions, for upward of these twenty years. So long have our superiors in the church paused to consider, whether our author's interpretations of scripture are to be rejected, or admitted, without coming to any resolution.
The Revd. Mr. Arch-Deacon Sharp is, now, I presume, commissioned to give us their sentiments. A man, whose reputation for learning, parts, and piety, will add so much weight to his scale, as nothing but truth, which we hope we have on our fide, can counterballance. i
A person of this character, I hoped, would have pursued a different method from such minute criticks as the late Mr. Arthur Bedford, and the anonimous modest apologist.—Would have perused the author himself, with that candidness and critical acumen, for which he is so remarkably distinguished. And, then, as the one would have suffered him to omit nothing,
to which any material objection could be made ; fo the other, would have prevented his offering any little, low, shuffling evasions to what he could not fairly answer ; or his throwing dust in his reader's eyes, when our author's arguments shone in too glaring a light. But how am I disappointed to find him treading in the very footsteps of those who have gone before him ;-not enquiring after proofs, but objections; vamping up their Itale ones in a new dress, and polling them over and over again, as candidates, at a pinch, do their voters. We have got no further yet, than the words explained fifteen years ago in Mr. Catcot's affize sermon.–Weighty words, I apprehend, that require so long a. time for digestion.
But Mr. H. is a crabbed author, hard to be understood ; and Mr. Catcot seems to the Doctor, to understand him the best, and express his meaning the clearest of any he has met with, and therefore thinks he could « be more sure of Mr. H's meaning from « Mr. C's way of expressing it, than if he " had guessed at it himself, from Mr. H's " less perspicuous manner of writing a." But
a See Preface, p. 17.
the truth is, had the Doctor confessed he had read Mr. H. and understood him, he must have taken upon himself the weight of all Mr. H's various proofs, evidences, and arguments, for the words he explains throughout his writings ; which, I own, are easier fhuffled off, than answered. And he must have dropped those shrewd queries, with which his piece is so nicely interlarded." Whether « Aleim be derived at all b." -- Or if it be " derived, what is the true and genuine root « of it.-Whether the Hebrew be the origi" nal language, or only a plank of the ship« wreck at Babel, &c. &c." And have kept back that load of Rabbinism and Arabic, which my good lord ofand Dr.have made him the instrument to discharge upon us, and his readers. And then, more than two thirds of his pamphlet would have been gone ; with the further advantage of saving a great effusion of ink on both sides. But the Doctor knew he had nothing to do, but to tell his tale plausibly; and he is so great a master of style, that he can give an efficacy to arguments ; which, had they been nakedly proposed, without this rhetorical dress,
as Mr. H's, and those of his Followers are, might not have looked so specious. This, I say, is all the Doctor had to do, and he was sure of a party ready ante vistoriam canere triumphum, and to give their verdict in his favour, without examining the evidence on the other side of the question. But, we hope the publick, to whom we appeal, will have no respect to persons, nor suffer their eyes to be dazzled by the glare of characters ;-but will impartially examine, and seriously weigh the merits of the cause, and give their assent to truth, on which side soever it shall appear to be. And as the Doctor's station and character, with that of the two learned persons hinted at in his preface, (p. 20) to 'whom his dissertations owe their present dress and polish, may possibly engage the world to interest itself a little in the debate ;--it may not be amiss to give a brief account of the state of the controversy, from Mr. H's first publication, to the present time.
In the year 1724, Mr. H. published the first volume of his writings; which he continued volume after volume till his death. And as he was aware that opinions and constructions contrary to those received, how
true foever they may be in themselves, cannot fail of meeting with opposition; and being desirous of having the patronage of the superior clergy, if he could happily gain it, - he laid his books before persons the most eminent in the esteem of the world for Hebrew learning, viz. the late Revd. Dr. Knight, the late Archbishop Potter then Bishop of Oxford, the late Bishop of London Dr. Gibfon, and others; with whom he had frequent conferences: Yet could he never extort from them, tho' often pressed, any positive opinion of his writings. So that they stalked about without meeting with any examination, approbation or confutation, as the letter to a Bishop in the year 1732 justly observed.
So far was Mr. H. from being that very obstinate man, or so stiff in opinion, as he has been by some represented, that at the request of Dr. Knight, he made einu and Do the dual number, contrary to his own judgment ; in hopes, by humouring a little the rabinnical taste of that great man, to draw him from those blind guides the Rabbis, to

Q: Transfer data between 2 classes without knowing the amount of data you are transfering nor their types I´m trying to transfer data between classes in a generic way. For example: I could transfer an Integer, String and a custom class Temperature in the same way I could transfer a Boolean, String, custom class Person and custom class Foo in a way that the class that receives the data could call a method of the Person class for instance.
I thought about doing it using Generics so that for each data I want to transfer I put it inside a DataWrapper that is generic so that I don´t lose the reference to any class but I want to send this data calling only one method (let´s say sendData()) using a class (let´s say DataSender) but since this DataSender needs to store all the generic DataWrappers that will have different generic values at runtime I must use the ? placeholder that will make me get an object instead of the specific reference when I retrieve the data from the class that receives it

Wild for Lori Wilde!
by Diana Belchase in Diana Belchase
Lori Wilde is more than an author. She's become a mentor, teacher, and friend to countless new writers. She takes both her craft and her subject matter seriously — as you can see in this video — dealing with the problems of soldiers returning home from military service to the dilemmas of a runaway princess in the middle of horse cutting country (TX).
To celebrate being here, Lori is giving away 10 — that's right TEN — copies of Love at First Sight, the first in her Cupid Texas series, to lucky readers who either leave a comment here or on my own site (leave comments in both places to be entered twice!). To whet your appetite here is the blurb from Love at First Sight:
In the first in a dazzling new series, Lori Wilde welcomes us to Cupid, Texas, where every wish for love comes true . . .
"When it hits, you just know . . ."
Natalie McCleary couldn't believe her eyes—a lean-muscled, darkly tanned, nearly naked man stood in her path . . . and then it hit her: love. Everyone always told her it would hit like a thunderbolt, and she never believed them. But now she knew: practical, sensible Natalie was head over heels in love—with a stranger.
But ex-Navy SEAL Dade Vega wasn't about to be a stranger for long. He'd ridden into Cupid on his motorcycle, vowing to keep a promise he'd made to a military buddy. But a single glimpse of Natalie—soaking wet and unexpectedly tempting—changed his life forever.
But how can he offer her his love, when he can't even promise to stay in one place for longer than a week?
(If the video doesn't load, please update your Adobe Reader.)
Lori's characters are vibrant and her writing will make you laugh and cry at the same time. In other words, Lori is a master.
Please forgive the audio track. A glitch made us sound as if we're in an echo chamber. Still, I think what Lori has to say is well worth listening to.
PS Don't forget to leave a comment. You can't miss the chance to win one of TEN copies of Love at First Sight! If the comment box doesn't automatically open up, please go here, and scroll to the bottom.

Fabulous interview, ladies! I can't wait to read this one!!!
Mary Jo Burke
Great interview and sounds like a book I would like!
Awesome interview!!.. welcome Lori.. 🙂 We are honored you stopped by.
HI!!!! I need just a moment to gush and brag and pledge my eternal love to Lori. In March of 2009, I completed her course, Romance Writing Secrets, through my local online comm. college. I had no idea what romance writing was until that wonderful class and I wouldn't be a published romance author if I hadn't started there with Lori. So big hugs and kisses to her 🙂 I have to laugh too because then we were so lucky to have her at our WRW retreat one year and I was thrilled to get to take a work shop in person. Holy moly, Lori you talk fast in person!!! You're a wonderful person, mentor, writer, just like Diana said and I'm just so proud to call you teacher. xoxoxoxox

Disagreements and Decisions: Natan's 2019-2020 Grants
July 21, 2019 | By Felicia Herman
Change My Mind: How We Make Decisions
In my ongoing effort to try to understand the dismaying and hurtful divisiveness of our current cultural and political moment, I recently read Jonathan Haidt's The Righteous Mind, a masterful analysis of a vast amount of scientific literature on how people form moral judgements and "why good people are divided by politics and religion."
I wasn't expecting – though I also wasn't surprised by – Haidt's argument that groups made up of people with diverse viewpoints are more effective and rational decision-makers than individuals:
We must be wary of any individual's ability to reason…each individual reasoner is good at one thing: finding evidence to support the position he or she already holds, usually for intuitive reasons…[and] particularly when self-interest or reputational concerns are in play. But if you put individuals together in the right way, such that some individuals can use their reasoning powers to disconfirm the claims of others, and all individuals feel some common bond or shared fate that allows them to interact civilly, you can create a group that ends up producing good reasoning as an emergent property of the social system. (105)
This has been exactly my experience at Natan (the giving circle I've been privileged to be part of for over 16 years) – as well as in the collaborative process that we used to engage dozens of stakeholders in co-designing Amplifier, the now-independent network of giving circles inspired by Jewish values that Natan launched in 2014 with funding from the Schusterman Foundation, and in a similar process that Amplifier and four other American giving circle networks are leading to design backbone infrastructure for American giving circles, with funding from the Gates Foundation and several others.
We've learned a lot at Natan over this past year of grantmaking, as we always do, but I have to say that as the world seems more and more divided, with more demonization of the Other (as opposed to good, old-fashioned civil disagreement), it feels more important to me than ever that Natan and other giving circles are places where a community of people who care about each other come together to do good in the world together, not ignoring their differences but literally strengthened by their differences. Although there's much that differentiates the people in these circles, they come together over what they have in common, build trusting and affectionate bonds with each other, and are thus able to use their diverse perspectives not as wedges that divide, but as assets that strengthen group thinking.
Viewpoint diversity was baked into Natan's DNA from the start, and is in fact what drew me to the organization in the first place: I loved that each time someone around a grantmaking table spoke, they changed my mind. Natan's members are all over the map politically (progressives and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans); they have widely different Jewish backgrounds and current Jewish practices; they are in different personal situations; they work in different industries; and some are raising their children and/or volunteering full-time. They bring widely different experiences and perspectives to their decision-making.
We didn't set out to create this – we just built a community and a culture that is warm and connected, and that welcomes curiosity, learning and debate. We also intentionally try to flatten relationships between our members (ie "funders"), grantees, and other nonprofits, further diversifying perspectives and strengthening our thinking by helping the different "sides" to understand the other and to learn from their different experiences.
The philanthropic sector has long understood the power of collective giving – through giving circles, donor collaboratives, teen and women's foundations, etc. But while we've analyzed the additional leverage, efficiency, and impact that collective giving can have, I'm not sure we've fully appreciated how much wiser, more connected, and more human this kind of giving can be than individual giving or more transactional fundraising. There is tremendous, inherent, but often unarticulated value in the connections between people and across perspectives that these kinds of initiatives create. Even groups that visually look homogeneous – because most people are one race, religion, gender – can actually be deeply diverse in other ways, and this heterogeneity, however it manifests itself, can be a core strength.
As public discourse seems to devolve further every day into polarization and demonization, I've come to believe even more strongly in the importance of creating more sites where people can come together, be curious, learn from each other and from subject-area experts and practitioners, change each other's minds, and collectively make wise and intentional choices together about the change they want to see in the world. We need more places in our communities where we can break down silos, welcome disagreements, test and examine new ideas, take risks, and change our minds. We're blessed to be doing this at Natan year after year, and we or the good people at Amplifier would be happy to talk to anyone about it who wants to learn more.
What We're Supporting
As they usually do, Natan's grant committees took a portfolio approach to their grantmaking over this past year, believing in building diverse fields of initiatives, often working in concert with each other, to test out new approaches and to bring new vision to old challenges. The unifying thread between all of our committees, as always, was a willingness to take prudent risks, to fund innovative ideas and invest in talented leadership, to support general operating expenses whenever possible, and to "go first" in providing institutional support for emerging organizations.
What follows is a summary of our 2019-2020 grants; for more information on all of the grantees, see the Natan website.
Confronting Antisemitism
In its third year of operations, Natan's Confronting Antisemitism committee continued its strategy of supporting a variety of approaches to addressing antisemitism in all of its modern manifestations – from "the left" and "the right," in different sectors of society, and targeting different audiences, both Jewish and not. About ⅔ of the committee's grantmaking over time has been focused on combating the demonization and delegitimization of Israel, which we believe strongly is a complicated, extensive, and existentially dangerous form of contemporary antisemitism. Many of our grantees work in different ways to present a nuanced, realistic understanding of Israel as "a real place on the planet Earth," as journalist Matti Friedman has memorably said – not the mythological, idealized or demonized, place of newspaper headlines and politicized shouting matches. We're not in the least bit afraid of criticism of Israel – in fact, all of our grants in Israel are investments in solving Israel's core challenges. (Meeting with Israeli grant applicants is just hearing criticism of Israel all day long, in a way.) However, we want to understand and shine a light on that murky area where criticizing Israel becomes antisemitism. In essence we're following Natan Sharansky's "3D" test of antisemitism: when criticism of Israel delegitimizes or demonizes it, or holds the country to double standards relative to other countries.
This year we're proud to again support A Wider Bridge (LGBTQ), Academic Engagement Network (campus), Creative Community for Peace (entertainment industry), and Fuente Latina (Spanish-language media), and to add Zioness (political activism) to this area of the portfolio. Each of these organizations is working in a different sector to provide nuanced information about and connections to Israel, and to counter the increasingly prevalent notion that progressivism and Zionism are incompatible. When this idea emerges – on campuses, in LGBTQ spaces, in political activism, in the media, or elsewhere – it tends to reflect ignorance about what Zionism actually is, about Israel's past and present, about Jewish history, and about the unique historical and geopolitical contexts that fundamentally differentiate Israel from the liberal, Western countries in which this idea tends to emerge.
Although no discussion of contemporary antisemitism can be divorced from conversations about Israel, the committee is also proud to support organizations that are tackling more traditional and recognizable forms of antisemitism based in ignorance and stereotypes about – and sometimes animus toward – Jews. We're supporting Asylum Arts to bring British Jewish artists together to discuss Jewish identity in the context of current British antisemitism and anti-Israelism; the replication of the JCRC of St. Louis's Student to Student program, which brings pluralist teams of Jewish teens to speak to their peers about Judaism and Jewish life; renewing our grant for Jimena's Arab Outreach Initiative, which is using the internet to bring the untold – and mistold – history of Jews of the Middle East and North Africa to millions of Arabic speakers around the world; Sisterhood of Salaam Shalom's new efforts to bring Jewish and Muslim teenage girls together to connect and fight hatred; and the Western States Center's efforts to educate prominent US progressive leaders about antisemitism in all of its forms. WSC is the first non-Jewish American organization that Natan has supported. We've learned a lot from its visionary Executive Director, Eric Ward, who has argued that antisemitism forms the foundation and fuel of white nationalism and is a core threat to inclusive democracy.

A political adviser of President-elect Mohamed Morsy said a Copt and woman would be appointed as vice presidents.
Ahmed al-Deif told CNN that it would be the first time in Egypt's history that a woman would be appointed to this position that will be granted powers.
"We didn't call for establishing an Islamic republic in Egypt. Morsy was very clear on this. He assured [he is] seeking a civilian constitutional country, a civilized one based on respecting cultures, principles and religions," he added.
Morsy confirmed in his first presidential speech that he will be "a president for all Egyptians" and committed to international agreements. He praised the armed forces, police, judges and victims of the revolution, which he said would be ongoing until achieving all its demands. He also added that people shouldn't obey him if he broke his promises.
He also called for unity so Egypt would live freely with dignity. "[The] people are the source of all powers. They suffered marginalization, poverty and injustice. It's time to retrieve their will and freedom, decent living and justice," he added.

Q: can this this strlen argument be used for validation? I am new to PHP. My problem is I need the input to validate to a minimum 20 character input and return the last nine. Can anybody tell me if my argument is close to working and if not what do I need to do?
if (!empty($_POST['usen']) ||
    strlen($usen['usen'] >= 20 )) {
    $switch = substr($usen, -9, 9); // returns last nine of sentence
    $output_form=false;
} else {
     $error_text .="
*A Sentence of 20 char is required .
";
     $output_form=true;
}

A: To get the last 9 characters of $usen['usen'] use
$switch = substr($usen, -9);

A: if (!empty($_POST['usen']) ||
   strlen($_POST['usen']) >= 20 ) {  // changed condition
 $switch = substr($usen, -9, 9); // returns last nine of sentence
 $output_form=false;

} else {
 $error_text .="
*A Sentence of 20 char is required .
";
 $output_form=true;
}

The if-condition has two issues in second part

*

*You use $usen['usen'] but i think it schould be $_POST['usen'] (see also comment by @Ed Cottrell)

*The closing bracker from method-call strlen has to be after the param

A: You have several syntax problems and variable-naming problems. Your code should be:
if (!empty($_POST['usen']) && // || should be &&; the || doesn't make sense here
    strlen($_POST['usen']) >= 20 ) { // You had $usen['usen'] and an incorrectly placed )
    $switch = substr($_POST['usen'], -9); // again, this should be $_POST['usen'], not $usen. The third parameter is unnecessary here.
    $output_form = false;
} else {
    $error_text .= "
*A Sentence of 20 char is required .
";
    $output_form = true;
}

The key points:

*

*You're using the wrong boolean operator. !empty($x) || strlen($x) >= 20 doesn't make sense. It should be &&, not ||. If you have a non-empty value for $_POST['usen'], then !empty($_POST['usen']) is true. But because you had a || in your if conditional, this meant the if block always executed for non-empty values, never the else block. You only want the if to execute if the value is non-empty and at least 20 characters.

*Your variable is $_POST['usen'], but your code referred to $usen['usen'] and $usen, which are incorrect.

*You had strlen($usen['usen'] >= 20) where you should have strlen($_POST['usen']) >= 20. Both the variable name and the ) placement were incorrect.

A: if (!empty($_POST['usen']) &&
    strlen($_POST['usen'] )>= 20 ) {  //condition change
    $switch = substr($_POST['usen'] ,-9); // returns last nine of sentence
    $output_form=false;
} else {
     $error_text .="
*A Sentence of 20 char is required .
";
     $output_form=true;
}

To get last 9 charcters , you can use substr(string, -9);

Canton Days: British Life and Death in China
PaperbackKindle
Canton Days offers the first comprehensive history of the British community in China from the mid-1700s to the end of the Opium War in 1842. During that period, Britons and other Westerners in China were restricted to trading and living in a tiny section of the city of Canton and the small Portuguese territory of Macao. At Canton, trade between China and the West was conducted through a group of Chinese merchant houses specially licensed by the Qing government. British encounters with China in this period have been seen mainly as a prelude to war, and Britons in China usually have been characterized as single-minded traders determined to open the Middle Kingdom by any means or missionaries bent on converting the Chinese "heathen" to Christianity. John M. Carroll challenges common assumptions about the British presence in China as he traces the lives and times of the expatriates at the heart of this vital center of trade and exchange. The author draws on a rich trove of archival sources to bring Canton and its leading figures to life, concluding with the deaths of three Britons, each revealing British concerns and anxieties about being in China. Written in a clear and lively style, his book will appeal to all readers interested in British imperial history, early modern Chinese history, and the worlds of expatriate and sojourning communities.

Reviews:Editorial Reviews on Amazon wrote:
On the basis of fine research, Carroll has presented a virtual cyclorama of the British community in Canton during the decades prior to the Opium War. He has successfully brought together many aspects of that community's life hitherto dealt with most often as separate subjects. -- Richard Grace, emeritus, Providence College; author of Opium and Empire
For nearly a century before 1842, the 'factories,' one tiny patch of ground in the great city we know as Guangzhou, formed China's window on the world. John Carroll brings that hothouse arena vividly to life in this pioneering account of the Britons who lived, worked, dreamed, and died there. One still-powerful strand in modern China's history began in this sliver of old Canton: now we have the book that helps us understand that place and time. -- Robert Bickers --This text refers to the hardcover edition.

Q: How to know iteration value of a loop controller in an if controller in jmeter? I am trying to execute multiple requests inside a loop controller. But few of them are required to be executed based on some conditions. So when its 2, 4th, 6th, 8th..20th transaction, I will require to execute first set of request.
But when its 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th transaction, I need to execute some other set.
How can I do this?

A: How about reading JMeter documentation:

JMeter will expose the looping index as a variable named jm__idx. So for example, if your Loop Controller is named LC, then you can access the looping index through ${__jm__LC__idx}. Index starts at 0

Loop Controller exposes __jm__Loop Controller__idx variable which returns current iteration number (zero-based)

The change is available since JMeter 4.0
So you should be able to get 2nd, 4th, etc. iteration in the If Controller using __groovy() function like ${__groovy(((vars.get('__jm__Loop Controller__idx') as int) +1) % 2 == 0,)}

Had THE BEST time on my fitness holiday with Fitness4Malta, everything was planned perfectly, and couldn't have gone smoother. As a single female traveller I couldn't have been better looked after; I was picked up from the airport, given step by step directions for every where I would need to go and personally taken back to the airport by Marta who was lovely. I didn't need to worry about a thing. Definitely recommend for fitness lovers alike.

Taco Bell to Bring Back One of Its Most Requested Discontinued Items
You could soon be dining on a Double Decker Taco or an Enchirito.

Mexican Pizza had its comeback. Now another Taco Bell item is set to return from menu exile. And the fast-food chain is leaving it to customers to choose which one -- the Double Decker Taco or Enchirito.
Taco Bell will bring back one of those two options before the end of 2022. The item will be available only for a limited time, the company said last week.
Those wanting to once again savor one of the creations can cast a daily vote in the Taco Bell app through Oct. 6. (You'll need to have a Taco Bell rewards account and be signed in to vote.)
According to the app, the Enchirito is in the lead as of this writing on Oct. 3. The votes are split roughly 60-40, so the Double Decker Taco has some catching up to do before a winner is announced on Oct. 7.
The Double Decker Taco and Enchirito are among Taco Bell's most requested items that no longer are sold, according to the restaurant chain.
The Double Decker Taco involves an outer layer of a soft flour tortilla spread with beans. That encapsulates a crunchy taco shell filled with beef, lettuce and cheddar cheese. Taco Bell discontinued it in 2019.
The Enchirito consists of a beef-, bean- and onion-loaded soft flour tortilla, which is rolled up, coated in red sauce and topped with cheddar cheese. It left Taco Bell quite a bit earlier than the Double Decker Taco, in 2013.
Taco Bell recently brought back its Mexican Pizza -- a pizza sauce-topped option that sandwiches beef and beans between two fried flour tortillas -- after removing it in 2020.

What Market Do You Serve?
It seems like an innocent question.
And it's one most agents field every day.
The knee-jerk response is to cast a wide net, and rattle off just about any city or town within a 10-20 mile radius.
I serve Daytona Beach, Ormond Beach, Port Orange, New Smyrna, and Orlando.
Follow the herd. Everybody else is doing it, so I should too.
You may very well serve all those areas, but clients want specialists, and whether they know it or not, subconsciously its what they're trying to figure out when they ask "What market do you serve?".
Last month I had a lead come in from someone interested in 5 neighborhoods within one very specific community.
I can help you find a home in [specific community] but also [other community], [other community], [other community], and [other community].
Raise hand. Place palm over face.
I work mostly with [specific type of homes] in [specific area].
Short and sweet, but very powerful in the eyes of your potential clients.
They even qualified the response with "mostly" and it's still powerful.
Now let me ask you, do you think this Agent #2 turned down my lead because it only met one of the criteria they "mostly" work with?
Heck no. They accepted this lead and several others I've sent since then.
The point here is not to exclude prospects if they seem like they'd be good clients but otherwise don't meet all of your criteria.
After you attract them, you can decide whether or not you want to work with them.
It's totally o.k. to be a generalist with a specialty. Just be careful how you position yourself.
While prospects are still "playing the field" it's in your best interest to project to them that you're a specialist, and not part of the herd like all the other agents they run into.


Rebecca Adlington and Debbie McGee have signed up for this year's 'Celebrity MasterChef'.
The Olympic gold medallist and widow of Paul Daniels will join former S Club 7 star Rachel Stevens, TV presenter Ulrika Jonasson, Union J's Jaymi Hensley and TV presenter Angellica Bell on the cookery competition when it returns to screens later this summer.
BBC commissioning editor Carla-Maria Lawson said: "'Celebrity MasterChef' is an astonishing test of culinary ability from people who are not recognised for their talents in the kitchen.
"Every year we are blown away by celebrities' gastronomic prowess and this year doesn't disappoint. The line-up is one of the strongest we have ever seen and we hope it will entertain and tantalise viewers in equal measure."
'Celebrity MasterChef' looks to be a tough competition this year with the BBC One show welcoming comedian Vic Reeves, Scottish snooker champion Stephen Hendry, opera singer Lesley Garrett, French tennis star Henri Leconte and singer Patti Boulaye.
Other celebrities include 'Outnumbered' star Tyger Drew-Honey, soap star Brian Bovell, 'Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels' actor Nick Moran, comedian Abdullah Afzal, Scottish broadcaster Aasmah Mir, 'Gogglebox' star Kate Bottley and presenter Julia Somerville.
The teams are set to compete in groups of five during the first weeks of the competition and then take part in the Mystery Box Challenge to see if they can cope with anything thrown at them.
Contestants will have to display professionalism as they cook for paying customers and the five remaining will have to prepare a two-course meal for the judges John Torode and Gregg Wallace.
The 20 contestants have a series of challenges cooking for large groups of people and the 90-minute finale is set to see the three finalists facing the Chef's Table which is led by Michelin-starred chef Jason Atherton.
