CoinWeek Ancient Coin Series – The Seleucids and Their Coins: Part II
CoinWeek Ancient Coin Series by Mike Markowitz …..
Antiochus III
When Seleucus III was poisoned by his officers in 223 BCE, his 18-year-old son, Antiochus, inherited an empire that was rapidly falling apart. In a reign of 35 years, Antiochus III tried to emulate the conquests of Alexander, earning the epithet Megas ("the Great"). The remote province of Bactria (now part of Afghanistan) had broken away, and the fierce Parthians threatened the northern border. The Egyptians occupied Palestine and Phoenicia.
Then Molon, governor of Media (western Iran), rebelled, declaring himself king. Neighboring provinces joined the revolt, and Molon captured the eastern capital, Seleucia on the Tigris. Molon's portrait survives on a unique silver tetradrachm now in a German museum[1]. Taking personal command of his army, young Antiochus crushed Molon's revolt (Spring, 220 BCE). When the rebel killed himself to avoid capture, his corpse was mutilated and crucified.
Achaeus, cousin of Antiochus and governor in Anatolia, now rebelled declaring himself king at Sardis, the western capital. A stern, bearded portrait of Achaeus appears on his very rare tetradrachm (only five known), with a standing figure of war-goddess Athena on the reverse. An example of this coin brought $130,000 USD in a 2011 sale[2]. The revolt of Achaeus lasted almost six years, so his bronze coins survive in greater numbers[3]. Betrayed and captured, Achaeus was flayed alive, his body then mutilated, beheaded and impaled.
Seleucid kings didn't take kindly to rebellion.
An idealized portrait of young Antiochus appears on a beautiful tetradrachm from an uncertain mint in Phrygia[4]. The standard reverse of Apollo seated on the omphalos stone, testing an arrow appears on most of his silver and gold coinage. The gold is quite rare; a few massive octodrachms (34 grams – over an ounce) were probably struck as royal presentation pieces with the same dies used for silver tetradrachms. A unique example brought almost $69,000 in a 2012 European auction[5].
In June, 217 BCE, Antiochus III was defeated by the Egyptian army of Ptolemy IV at Raphia, near Gaza in Palestine–despite the superiority of Seleucid Indian war elephants over Ptolemy's smaller North African forest elephants. The war elephant appears on some late tetradrachms of Antiochus[6].
Antiochus campaigned in the East for many years, regaining lost territory, and arranging dynastic marriages with rulers of Cappadocia, Armenia, and Bactria. A victory over the Egyptians led to the marriage of his daughter Cleopatra[7] to young Ptolemy V in 193.
In 192 he made a catastrophic decision to invade Greece, provoking conflict with the Roman Republic. Antiochus even gave refuge to the fugitive Hannibal, Rome's bitter enemy, employing him as a military advisor. Decisively defeated by Rome at the Battle of Magnesia in 190, Antiochus was forced to pay an indemnity of 15,000 talents of silver–equivalent to 22,500,000 tetradrachms! Under the terms of the Treaty of Apamea[8] (188 BCE), Seleucid kings gave up their warships and elephants and had to send a son to Rome as a hostage. Desperate for cash, Antiochus was killed by an enraged mob while attempting to loot a rich temple at Elymais in Persia (July, 187 BCE).
Seleucus IV
Seleucus IV, aged about 30, was serving as governor at Babylon when his father was killed. This Seleucus is known by the epithet Philopator ("father-loving"). His elder brother, another Antiochus who had been married to their sister Laodice IV (c. 223 – 163 BCE), died in 193, making Seleucus heir to the throne. He then married the widow, keeping control within his own family.
A younger brother, the future king Antiochus IV, was held as a hostage at Rome.
The silver coinage of Seleucus IV bears his serious, dignified portrait and repeats the standard designs of the dynasty; a small wreath and palm frond on the reverse of some tetradrachms probably alludes to a military victory[9].
An unusual innovation in the bronze coinage from the mint of Antioch was a serrated edge, which makes the coins look like bottle caps. Oliver Hoover suggests that the veiled female portrait is Laodice IV (Hoover, 81). The reverse shows an elephant's head[10].
Seleucus IV was murdered in 175 BCE by his prime minister, Heliodorus, who intended to rule as the power behind the throne. Queen Laodice IV was nominally regent for her infant son, Antiochus. A very rare gold octadrachm showing the queen with her child, formerly in the famous Arthur Houghton collection, now resides in the Eretz Israel Museum in Tel Aviv.
For a few months, silver tetradrachms were issued with a charming portrait of the child king[11]. In theory, the heir to the throne was the eldest son of Seleucus IV, nine-year-old Demetrius, held as a Roman hostage. But his uncle, the third son of Antiochus III, who himself had spent years as a hostage at Rome, raised an army with the aid of King Eumenes II of Pergamum and marched on Antioch.
Antiochus IV
His birth name was Mithradates, but he declared himself king as Antiochus IV in the autumn of 175 BCE. For the third time, Queen Laodice IV married her own brother. Although Antiochus IV adopted his nephew Antiochus, the boy king was quietly killed (170 BCE) as soon as Laodice bore Antiochus IV a son from their union, who later ruled as Antiochus V.
Antiochus IV ruled for 12 years. He invaded Egypt twice, the last time suffering a humiliating reverse when a Roman envoy curtly ordered him to leave the country[12].
When he escaped from the palace, he was most commonly found among the workers in gold and silver, the engravers and jewelers, discussing with a passionate intensity some nice point of technique. On a larger scale, he gratified his love of art in his sumptuous building, in the adornment of his cities; Greek artists thronged to Antioch from all parts; new temples and public buildings rose under his eye (Bevan, 130).
This ruler's "passionate intensity" is visible in the idealized portrait on some of his "florid style" silver tetradrachms, such as an example struck at Tarsus after 173 BCE[13].
Antiochus IV unwisely meddled in the internal affairs of Judaea, a semi-independent state within his empire. His attempt to impose Greek customs and gods on the fiercely monotheistic Jews provoked a revolt (167 – 160 BCE), documented in The Bible's First Book of Maccabees[14]. In Jewish history, Antiochus is remembered as the villain in the story of the festival of Hanukkah, which celebrates the rededication of the Temple in Jerusalem after it was defiled by pagan ritual sacrifice.
After Antiochus IV adopted the boastful epithet Theos Epiphanes Nikephoros ("Manifest God, Bringer of Victory), the rather feminine image of Apollo on the reverse of the tetradrachm[15] was replaced with the majestic enthroned Olympian Zeus, based on the famous gold and ivory statue[16] that was considered one of the "Seven Wonders of the World".
The title was so long that engravers often had trouble fitting it all on a coin. This is particularly noticeable on the reverse of the very rare gold stater (only four are known). In a 2008 auction, the only example in private hands bought $50,000 against an estimate of $75,000. Crudely engraved and carelessly struck, these coins were probably made in haste for some special occasion.
On some of his bronze coins, Antiochus IV is depicted with a spiky "radiate" crown[17]. An example of this type[18] from the mint of Seleucia on the Tigris is one of the few ancient coins inscribed with an explicit denomination; in this case, the Greek letters "∆X", indicating "four chalkoi".
Antiochus IV is a problematic figure in Hellenistic history. In mockery, the historian Polybius (c. 200 – 118 BCE) changed Epiphanes ("Manifest") to Epimanes ("Crazy").
In late 164 BCE, on campaign in Persia, Antiochus IV died "of unexplained causes", leaving the nine-year-old Antiochus V in the care of Lysias, a trusted advisor. Another struggle for succession loomed over the empire.

148. What happened during Operation Kadesh – Sinai War of 1956?
After the coup that led Nasser into office in Egypt (1954), he signed a peace arms deal with Czechoslovakia in September 1955. Egypt wanted to exceed the military power of Israel and the Soviet Union (through Czechoslovakia) and to have a way into the Middle East. According to the deal, Egypt would receive 200 heavy and medium tanks, hundreds of artillery pieces, 150 war aircraft, which gave them a quantity advantage over Israel. Israel did not have the resources to acquire weaponry but they knew they should give Nasser a preventive blow before his army learned how to use their new weaponry. After 1949, the Arabs adopted a "war doctrine of limited liability". According to this doctrine, the aggressors may reject an agreement and participate in a war to win, knowing that, even if they fail, they can insist on reestablishing the previous status quo. In 1956, Nasser was the one who threatened with starting a war.
The Campaign in Sinai (Source: Wikipedia)
In mid-1956, Nasser violated once again the Armistice Agreement (1949) by closing the Strait of Tiran to Israeli ships (under international law, blocking navigation is an act of war), limiting Israel's access through the sea. On October 25th, 1956, Egypt signed a three-way agreement with Syria and Jordan that allowed Nasser to rule over the three armies. The blockage of the Suez Canal and of Tiran to Israeli navigation, together with the increase in the attacks from the Fedayeen and the aggressions of the Arabs, forced Israel to attack Egypt with the support of Great Britain and France on Oct/29/1956. At the same time, England and France carried out the Musketeer Operation to dominate the Suez Canal, even though their military participation was close to nothing.

We need less guns, not more.
After the most recent horrific violent mass shooting in the US, Trump has been making his views on the issue very clear. His stance is that if there were more legal gun owners in places like schools or the Pulse Nightclub, then these mass shootings would not be happening.
Trump is incorrect that no one in Pulse had a gun, as the nightclub's security guard and off-duty Orlando Police officer Adam Gruler was working that evening. He attempted to shoot at Mateen, but Mateen went deep into the dark club and Gruler understood how dangerous aimlessly shooting into the dark would be.
The Pulse shooting resulted in 49 lost lives — most of which were members of our own LGBTQ community. After every mass shooting it seems there is an upsurge of anti-gun activism by the communities most impacted. For example, the birth of Gays Against Guns after Pulse. And students like Emma Gonzalez from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School are now creating space for hard conversations about how to change this culture of violence.
Trump also stated that "98 percent of all mass shootings in the United States, since 1950, have taken place in gun-free zones." Which is untrue. In fact, Everytown for Gun Safety analyzed mass shootings, looking at 133 shootings between 2009 and 2015 — they discovered that 17 (13%) of these shootings took place in gun-free zones.
The reality is that Mateen would not have been able to shoot and kill 49 people if he hadn't had access to a semi-automatic weapon. And Nikolas Jacob Cruz would not have been able to purchase a automatic rifle to then cause a mass shooting if we had more gun control. This is why Gonzalez's mission for gun control is so vital for our country's future.
You can support these student's mission by donating to their March For Our Lives on March 24. To join the resistance against gun violence, head over to everytown.org, join Gays Against Guns, text 'RESIST' to 50409 to contact your representative today, or find out if your money is going to gun manufactures at goodbyegunstocks.com.

Ludo is a 2020 Indian anthology dark comedy crime film directed by Anurag Basu. It is produced by Bhushan Kumar, Divya Khosla Kumar, Krishan Kumar, Anurag Basu, Tani Basu and Deepshika Bose under the banners of T-Series, Anurag Basu Productions and Ishana Movies.[2] It stars an ensemble cast of Abhishek Bachchan, Aditya Roy Kapur, Rajkummar Rao, Sanya Malhotra, Pearle Maaney, Pankaj Tripathi, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Rohit Suresh Saraf, Saurabh Sharma and Inayat Varma.[3][4] The film was released on 12 November 2020 coinciding with Diwali on Netflix.[1]
3.1 Development
Ludo starts with two people contemplating life and death and they decide to play ludo. The game they play correlates to the lives of Sattu Bhaiya, Akash, Alu and Bittu.
Sattu Bhaiya is a notorious gangster who has to settle old scores with Bittu, who was once his right-hand man. Sattu Bhaiya becomes the dice of Ludo and Bittu forms the red side in Ludo.
Akash and Shruti form the yellow side. They find that someone has recorded a video of them having sex and have uploaded it to the Internet. Then they start the race to find the culprit and take down the video before Shruti's would-be husband finds out.
The blue side is formed by Sheeja Thomas and Rahul Avasthi. Sheeja is a Malayali nurse who speaks only Malayalam and Rahul is a struggling young man from a small town being bullied by his boss. They find the treasure of Sattu Bhaiya and the gang chases them and they try to escape.
The green side is formed by Alu and his sweet heart Pinky. Pinky's husband becomes a suspect in a murder case and she seeks help from Alu to save him.
These four stories become entangled in a series of events, leading to an engaging climax where all four sides are present. In a way, they all reach "Home" and win the game.

Production[edit]
Development[edit]
The film is produced by Anurag Basu, Taani Basu and Bhushan Kumar and features music by Pritam.[5]
Release[edit]
The film was initially scheduled to release on 24 April 2020.[5] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the film was released on 12 November 2020 on Netflix.[1][6]
The film critics largely gave the film positive ratings. Anupama Chopra, Editor-in-Chief of Film Companion, wrote, "Whatever faults you might find with an Anurag Basu film, lack of invention isn't one of them. The director creates worlds filled with whimsy and wonder, set to Pritam's pulsating soundscape."[7] Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express wrote, "Still, in this time of corona, the virus finding an honourable mention in the movie, we could do with some fun and games, even if it slackens in bits," praising Basu for using "perky musical interludes" to narrate the story.[8] India Today reviewed the movie positively, calling it 'naram-garam and delicious' which is "out-of-the-box while staying firmly in the box." [9] A review by the Hindustan Times said, "despite its missteps, keeps it breezy, with its cast helping it to stay the course."[10] The Hindu film critic found that "the structure of Ludo written with careful precision and the construct is cleaner," which makes the film 'largely entertaining'.[11] While, The Wire's Tanul Thakur felt that Ludo 'suffers' because Basu is "more interested in the mechanics of this tapestry, the many ways in which the disparate stories intersect and inform each other, as opposed to the tapestry itself: its overarching meaning, its dramatic power, its psychological portraits." [12] Critic associated with the Deccan Herald received the movie as "a big disappointment".[13] The Quint's review of the film said that "the screenplay steers clear of extravagance, which works in its favor." "While the setting may seem fable-like, the emotions they evoke in us are authentic. It might take some time to get used to, but once we understand the spirit of the film Ludo can prove to be a lot of fun."[14]

Now that Jaromir Jagr is officially a Calgary Flame, the organization has taken to a bit of housekeeping to fit him on the roster.
Garnet Hathaway, who was waived alongside Luke Gazdic on Monday, has been sent to the Stockton Heat. He cleared waivers on Tuesday but was not immediately sent down, as the Flames wanted him to play in the season opener – presumably to give them a physical edge in what they anticipated to be a tough game, for however well that worked out. A player who has cleared waivers can be sent down within 30 days of clearing.
With Jagr officially signed – his contract came into effect today – the Flames had to demote a player in order to get their roster back down to 23. Hathaway was the only one available for immediate assignment.
This doesn't answer the question of how Mark Jankowski will be back in the NHL – the Flames would have to cut another forward in order to do that – so we'll continue to wait on that front.
In the meantime, now that Jagr is part of the team, he's skating on the third line alongside Kris Versteeg and Sam Bennett. This was the obvious fit for him: he was ready to accept a third line role, and Versteeg and Bennett are two very motivated, talented players in their own rights. Talk of signing Jagr heated up over the summer largely in part because the third line was incomplete and he was the best available option. On paper, it's easy to see where the chemistry should come from; hopefully we'll see it in action soon.
How soon, though? That much hasn't been decided yet. Jagr missed all of training camp – and we remember how poorly that can go from the previous season's start – and considers himself day-to-day as he works to get up to speed.
The sooner he's able to play, though, likely the better.
Good. Now call Jankowski up and send Stajan to Siberia. Or Brouwer. Either/or. Or both.
C'mon Doc, lay off of Stajan – he's been a good solder for us and deserves to finish his contract with us….perhaps not playing everyday… Brower, on the other hand? Have at him.
Agreed. Stajan is still an NHL player and a good leader for the young'uns. He'd be great as 13/14 with Glass or even Hathaway.
Stajan has been a faithful soldier, but he is slow and lacks elite skill. We can no longer afford to keep and ice people like him if we want to compete and beat teams like the Oilers. This is a pro hockey team, not some charity for aging athletes or some school team where everyone gets to play so their self esteem is boosted. Janko has elite level skills.
You do not know the advantages Stajan brings to the team off the ice–team chemistry and all that.
The AHL and NHL preseason hardly constitute elite levels, so you're overstepping the mark by calling Janko's skills elite level.
Stajan was one of the top checking line centers in the NHL last year. We have holes on the bottom line and bottom pair – but Matt Stajan is not one of them.
People have just turned on him for not being Mark Jankowski. Which is asinine. Mark Jankowski is a better pure talent than our fake #1C Sean Monahan – of course Matt Stajan is not Mark Jankowski.
No dice..waste of a roster spot Stajan is.
Look who the Oilers had on their FOURTH line last night: Letestu and Kassian. Both of those guys can score, they have good hands. We had Stajan, Glass and Hathaway. Reasonable people can disagree, but IMO for various reasons, the NHL has become a skill league. You can't afford to have lead-handed pluggers on your fourth line anymore and compete against high-skill teams like the Oilers. It's like competing with one hand tied behind your back.
You are right. To me, guys like Glass and Stajan are your extras. Jankowski and Lazar should be on the 4th line. Waive Freddie, put Brouwer on the RW/4th line, unless they can trade him, then have Stajan-Jankowski-Lazar, and see what happens. But you have to have a veteran on that 4th line.
You can thank Mr. Truculance Burke for that. His fingerprints are all over your lineup.
Take a look at the 4th line Columbus iced last year. Guys who could score and did.
As an NHLer, Kassian has been little more than a discipline problem and a face puncher. Don't overstate his scoring ability at the NHL level. As for Letestu, he is a plugger who had a very good playoffs last spring. Coincidentally, Glass is a plugger who had a very good playoffs last spring.
No, the good Doc isn't right and neither are you, FC.
You're inserting Lazar in the lineup because e did what in the preseason to warrant it? Sounds like wing and a prayer coaching to me.
Waive Freddie and PO Dougie. Great! How many times do you need to be told that Dougie is a highly intelligent, but deeply sensitive young man who is still governed by his moods?
A good trade for the Flames would be Brouwer and Stajan to LVK for a D-man that doesn't have to clear waivers to be demoted to Stockton.
I was sleepless for two nights with all those Brouwer rumours going around, giddy with visions of sugar plums dancing in my head. I just hope he's gone-somewhere, anywhere- before Christmas. Please, Santa?!
Look for a buy-out this summer. An expensive option but looks like the only option for the Flames.
I just wish Tre & GG had the sand to send Brouwer down. I don't care who they call up, but Hathaway would check the same boxes and then some.
We can only hope they are keeping him up to keep whatever value he has at the NHL level. LVK have about 11 forwards currently on their roster so they need to add to that in a big way and reach the cap floor before this week's opener. I keep waiting for them to add an inflated contract or two like Brouwer's.
I'd Take it.. for Whatever LVK Offered up no matter what! Then Try to Flip lowball for weak Draft Picks for all I care… Just Get'er Done! (LVK Put goaltender Calvin Pickard on Wavers Today? WTF? I'd think about that ASAP and trade Lack for whatever…) also~ The Avalanche sent Joe Colborne to San Antonio today.
Brouwer on 4th line, RW, Lazar on 3rd line RW for the Jets game. Shows how thin we are when it comes to forwards, though.
Flames best hope to stop McDavid: Trade Brouwer to the Oilers and hope they put him with McDavid. Drats, I don't think the Oilers would fall for that. On a more serious note, just the thought of having Jagr join the Bennett and Versteeg line really looks like a positive step for making the Flames team better. This team will get better and much more dangerous in time, especially if Mike Smith continues to play like he did last night. May the young guys get their game on and that soon.
The Breitbart comments section has a place waiting for you. Lots of aggrieved white people there, claiming to be oppressed. And I say that as a decidedly white guy.
It seems that GG keeps Stajan and Brouwer around for the PK. He doesn't like youth penalty killing.
Crap reason but Stajan and Brouwer were fine on the PK. Though disaster elsewhere. Oh Paul Byron I miss you.
Second account banned in 2 days. Impressive. You're a strong argument for banning IP addresses.
Lol wut? Is this bad sarcasm?
Assuming no, for sure the RWM stereotype is tossed around too flippantly, especially by anyone under 30 and city bred and born. But sheesh man settle down. Ari is reasoned and thoughtful. Depending on the definition I might be a RWM and have never found her writing offensive. Certainly it's biased one way, but almost everything is. The content behind is excellent. She will be writing for bigger places than this soon enough. Enjoy the interaction.
Ari is entitled to her thoughts and right of speech. As a white boy playing hockey from the moment I can stand I do believe that there is a racist element to hockey but not in the way described as the Martin Luther king. Speech brought to us by Ari. The USA and racism is different then that of Canada. Yes there still is in all nationalities for both countries but the past dictates the current peasant. I felt bad because I'm white played hockey and have loved hockey my entire life. Reguarless of nationality or skin color I look at hockey players all the same. To choose to sit out of an American national anthem because of American policies you don't agree with is warrented to sit out of American and Canadian anthems because of American racism shouldn't be condoned. Stand up for your beliefs country but please never drag other nations with their own racist problems to you own for front. I have slapshot yelled at a fan disrespecting the national anthem. And would do it again.
So easy to solve, so hard to admit you made the mistakes. Waive Brouwer, Stajan and Lazar – nobody will claim either of these guys. Enter Janko, Garnet and Lomberg – perfect 4th line.
I'd prefer Janko, Poirier and Klimchuk myself.
That line has the potential for being a Backs junior line. The key would be is if Poirier could find his old annoying self w/o sacrificing his skill set. I also think Magpie could replace Klimcuk but a lot of that is because of his chemistry with Janko. But the truth is I would rather watch almost any of those combo's than watch "the burden" labour up and down the ice.
Just a heads up to anyone that missed it — Ari has left her email address and has encouraged us to contact her if we feel there are any users who are taking it too far. In my opinion, two people who fit that bill are "I am Batman" and "Chris Prongers Rake". If everyone would just take the time to send a quick email toperiariyx@gmail.com and request that those two (and anyone else you might think) be permanently banned from this site it would make sorting through the comments section a lot easier. I've already taken the liberty of sending an email, but if enough of us do it we can eliminate the redundant trolling/flaming quicker. Thank you.
Ever heard of a scroll button?
So on the night before the Heat opener, an open letter to the team that calls Stockton home.
To Mark Jankowski: we all know you belong in Calgary. But sometimes you need to continue to prove it. So you have to expect that you will be here for the month of October. You need to be the best player on the ice each and every shift. You need to force the Big club's hand to find a place for you.
To Emile Poirier, figure you to be here the entire year, with the off-ice issues you had last year. But be the ying to Jankowski's yang. The two of you should carry this team during October. Your time will come later this season.
To Rasmas Andersson: with the play last night from the bottom 6, you too should get a one-way ticket at some point this year. But buckle down and be the shutdown, quarterback defenceman we need.
To Spencer Foo: study Mark Jankowski's game from last year. You will be here all year. Take that mentality into the season, work on your game, and push for a top 9 position next year.
To John Gillies: use the extra week you spent in Calgary and cease the crease. Convince me that you are a better goalie that Riddich. You should have a .920 or better save percentage after November.
To Mangiapane and Klimchuk: please realize you are a year away. Play your way into the off-season discussion. You too should help this team to the Calder Cup playoffs.
To Garnet Hathaway: you got one game already. Stay sharp. You will come up, but not the 1st one.
To Kylington and Healey: you too will also be in Stockton all year. So enbrace it. Work on your games and perfect them. You will be needed in the next year or two, so use this time wisely.
To Wotherspoon: the #6 was yours for the taking. For whatever reason, you were sent down. Take what you learned and make it work. You have a bomb from the point. Take it. Use it. If you don't, I would assume the organization will allow you to seek employment elsewhere.
To Coach Huska: do not be afraid to change up lines during a game. Allow your stars to shine. Don't hamper their growth.
Lastly, to Ryan Lomberg, stay as feisty as you were last year. You were voted Fan Favorite for a reason. Protect our team. And wear that A with pride. You earned it.
Yup – I looked at that one and was shaking my head at what you meant.
Looking forward to your evaluation of them after tonights game. I am really interested as to who plays with who and how Huska assigns their roles.
Allow your stars to shine. For me that means put Janko/Magpie/Poirier(don't be afraid of getting into people grills and don't be afraid of making mistakes) together and make them play in every situation and then have them be dominate defensively, drive possession, and score. Play on PK and the PP.
Play Klimchuk/Pollock/Hathaway; basically the same marching orders as the Janko line.
Then a line of Lomberg/Cramm/Carroll; hit everything every shift.
I completely forgot about Foo, he needs to play with skilled guys but whose left with Heat?
My guess is that Foo plays with Cramarossa and Klimchuk on the 2nd line. Hathaway with Pelley and Shinkaruk. That leaves Lomberg on the 4th with anyone but the Bearded Stork.
Speaking of Lomberg, how more lesser skilled players haven't modelled themselves after Flyer legend Hound Dog Kelley? I've been watching a old of Flyer games from the 70s recently and he was the Tasmanian devil. His play was extremely high tempo, ferocious fore checker, hit anybody in a different colour jersey on every shift and used his offensive skill to create scoring chances. I am not sure Lomberg is as skilled a stick handler as Hound Dog was, but he checks the other 3 boxes perfectly. Club should send him to Hound Dog's Good Dog School.
If you consider Oilers are the measuring stick for Pacific and Western representative like a lot of pundents do , then the loss is not all that big to panic about as yet . Basically 2-0 with an empty net goal . More work needed obviously to close that gap .
As you well know, rankings are meaningless – you make a pointless comment with no substance. It's a long season and anything can happen.
Kudos on cheering your own comment though – hope it felt good.
Unfortunately, the score was flattering. 45 shots against and a goalie posting a 955 to keep it close does not bode well. They were way worse, or Edmonton was way better, than last year, except for Smith that is.
Jagr saying how rough he feels after practice… something to worry about?
I would think so. The older you are the harder it is to stay in shape. Just ask 320 lb Kieth Tkachuk. Jagr will get in game shape. It just may take a little longer.
Altitude, jet lag and age all contribute to this. I also suspect yesterdays practice might have been a bit intense considering how few of them played hard the night before. Does anyone know who made up the 4th line in yesterdays practice.

Do not wait. It is very important that once you begin to experience osteoarthritis symptoms, you see a doctor, get a proper diagnosis, and start treatment right away. Many factors influence which therapies are right for you, including the status of your health, other medications you take, and if your osteoarthritis case is mild, moderate, or severe. The earlier you and your doctor work together, the sooner you can begin a treatment plan that's right for you.
Medical This is your doctor's best tool to diagnosing osteoarthritis. Talk to your doctor about your symptoms, family history, and past medical conditions.
Physical Your doctor will look for typical signs of osteoarthritis, such as joint swelling or tenderness, and a loss in the range of joint motion.
Joint fluid After applying a local anesthetic, your doctor may take a small amount of fluid from your joint, called synovial fluid. A lab test of this fluid can help confirm osteoarthritis and rule out other conditions.
X-rays or MRI's These images can show damage inside the joint. Your doctor will be looking for the deterioration of cartilage tissue that is typical of osteoarthritis.


The new art never stops at Sullivan Goss.
One of Sullivan Goss—An American Gallery's current exhibits (on view until September 1), The Summer Impressionists, highlights the evolution of American Impressionism from the 1880s to 1940s. Works by Mary Cassatt, George Inness, John Leslie Breck, Colin Campbell Cooper, Thomas Dewing, Myron Barlow, Thomas Anshutz, Albert Bierstadt, John Henry Twachtman, Kenyon Cox, Horace Gilmore, Anna Hills, Leon Dabo, Guy Pene Du Bois, Thomas Hill, Mary De Neale Morgan, William Bradford, Walter Launt Palmer, Paul Sample, Theodore Wendel, George Loftus Noyes, Cecil Crosley Bell, Reginald Marsh and Lillian Westcott Hale will adorn the walls.
The Impressionist movement began in Europe, where artists rejected the traditional, academic rules of art in favor of painting plein air, using small dabs of paint and marking visible brushstrokes to capture fleeting instants of time. When American artists traveled abroad, they learned this new method and brought it back home with them, teaching the next generation of American artists. While this technique was initially rejected, it is now perhaps the most beloved style of painting.
Sullivan Goss is located on 7 E. Anapamu St. and is open everyday from 10 a.m–5:30 p.m. For more information, please click here or call 805/730-1460.


Three numbered sections (through #245) introduce what the incarnation, public ministry, Passion, and Resurrection of the Lord really means. The Aparecida bishops write of The encounter with Jesus Christ. This is essential to get to the importance of the concept of discipleship and how this needs to revolutionize how Christians–especially Catholics–view their place in the Gospel mission.
This is precisely what all the gospels have preserved, while presenting it differently, as the beginning of Christianity: a faith encounter with the person of Jesus. (cf. Jn 1:35-39).
The coming of Christ signaled a new way of relating to God. Israel's experience of One God certainly prepared human beings for this. There is an important progression as we read the Old Testament from a God to be feared in natural cataclysms to a personal God one finds in quiet and stillness. Also from a God of a chosen people to a God who embraces the entire world–indeed, the whole universe. Horizons have shifted, and if we are slow to cast our gaze beyond what we have known, to look deeper where our God invites, it cannot be said to be God's fault. We are called to a new way of relating not only to the Living God, but in how we encounter others, and draw them to their own companionship with Jesus. More tomorrow.

TAIPEI, Taiwan -- Over the course of the Mid-Season Invitational, the locals and fans around Asia had begun referencing Europe's League of Legends representative, G2 Esports, as "the artists."

Trust and confidence leads Team Liquid to the MSI finals
Invictus Gaming's MSI loss stuns everyone but their players
The eventual champions' extravagant playstyle and unorthodox champion selections made it as if G2 were painting a picture on Summoner's Rift, similar to legendary teams in the past. Martin "Wunder" Hansen's top lane Pyke became the talk of the tournament in the group stages when it beat SK Telecom T1, and then he utilized it again in the semifinals to eliminate the South Koreans from the tournament.
G2's five-game series against SKT in the semifinals was its masterpiece. The Europeans' final on Sunday against North America's Team Liquid was one of those speed-painting classes you take where you're served red wine while sketching a rustic cottage overlooking a field of sunflowers.
In a tournament with several other record-breaking performances, G2 took down another to end the event by completing the quickest five-game series in major international history. They swept Team Liquid 3-0 to the stunned silence of the crowd, at times the booming voice of Michael Winther, father of G2 ace Rasmus "Caps" Winther, being the only noise made by any of the crowd members.
Before the series began, Caps, in a promotional video made for the final, said he wasn't looking for just being champions. Anyone can be a champion once or twice, he said. Caps wants to be a legend.
And after a speed-run of the grand final and subsequent finals MVP award, that legend is only beginning.
"Now we're champions of MSI, and it's up to us to stay on [this] level," Caps said. "A lot of teams win one tournament, and then we don't hear about them anymore. That's not who we want to be."
At last year's world championships, G2 Esports had one of the best runs of any team in Western League of Legends history when they made the semifinals. Although they were swept in a similar fashion to how they beat Team Liquid by the eventual winner Invictus Gaming in the semifinals, it was a result that the team could be proud of.
Team owner Carlos "ocelote" Rodríguez Santiago, though, wasn't satisfied. In one of the biggest moves of the offseason, Caps moved over from Europe's top team in 2018, world finalist Fnatic, and became G2's starting mid laner. G2's mid laner and most decorated domestic player, Luka "Perkz" Perković, willingly shifted to the bottom lane, creating pound-for-pound the most talented roster in the region's illustrious history.
During the League European Championship Spring Split, there were times where G2 looked like the best team in the world and then other times when the players resembled puzzle pieces crammed together to make an imperfect picture. However, they found their sweet spot in time for playoffs, the flexibility of each player's champion pool creating a ludicrous array of compositions.
In back-to-back stompings of rival Origen, G2 qualified for MSI, leaving no doubt in their artistic expression of playing the game.
"We do pull out a lot of strange picks," support Mihael "Mikyx" Mehle said. "There are a lot of picks we haven't shown yet. Yeah, we're saving [those] for the first week of the summer split."
G2's flexibility in champion pools and positions on the map have given them an advantage over the rest of the competition. The team's underlying foundation of fundamentals allows G2 to play the wild, devil-may-care style they perform on stage. Sometimes, it feels like G2 could spin a roulette wheel to see where players line up on the map in any given game and still win. That's what started this whole run, after all: a decision by Perkz that success was more important than any role.
"I always wanted to be the best mid laner in the world and the best player in the world, but now I get an international title, which I probably wouldn't have won if Caps hadn't joined," Perkz said. "So yeah, it's meant to be."
This isn't the first time a region, or even Europe, has attempted to put together a collection of its region's best talents with money to create a "superteam" capable of winning international tournaments, but this is one of the few that has succeeded. The team's joy comes across in every interview they have, laughing over the silly mistakes that cost them games and always praising the freedom they're allowed to play with as part of the team. There are no wrong suggestions or ideas. They're like friends who theorycraft crazy combinations that could work if everything clicks at the precise moment, the only difference being that G2 have the talent to make those imaginative daydreams into reality.
These are your artists. These are your new international champions.

Waiting for 'Sanditon' season 2? All the cast's best shows and movies
Sanditon, the new PBS series that is based on Jane Austen's unfinished novel, is one of the most wonderful shows on television right now. It's everything you could want in an 18th-century drama: class, romance, & mystery. Sadly, the series only has eight episodes and we're begging for more.
If you are like many, you're scrambling to find something to fill the void that Sanditon has left. Unfortunately, PBS reported there is no budget for a second season right now, so the future of Sanditon looks a bit bleak. However, that doesn't mean that we can't hope! In the absence of Sanditon's second season, our search for more begins.
A part of what makes Sanditon so irresistible is the stupendous cast. With their incredible performances, the characters walk right out of the pages of Jane Austen's Sanditon and right into our hearts. Perhaps just seeing their face will provide us with some comfort. Here are some of the best shows & movies that star our favorite Sanditon characters.
If you were enchanted by the character Sidney Parker in Sanditon, you're not alone. Sidney is played by the dreamy Theo James who also stars in Downton Abbey. Theo plays Mr. Kemal Pamuk, a Turkish diplomat who has his eyes on Mary Crawley, the oldest daughter of Earl of Grantham.
Set in the early 19th-century, Downton Abbey is about an aristocratic family and their servants on the fictional Yorkshire country estate of Downton Abbey. This English drama is filled with romance, class conflicts, and startling scandals. It's the perfect Sanditon rebound.
Still haven't had enough of Theo? He's also one of the main characters in the dystopian action series Divergent. Playing the main love interest, Theo is a hardened initiates' instructor named Four who pushes his trainees to the limit.
Based on the young adult book series, the Divergent follows Tris, a girl who decides to switch to a foreign faction and learn how to fight in a looming war. Starring beside the amazing Shailene Woodley, you'll fall in love with Theo all over again in these action-packed movies.
Jane Austen's lovely heroine, Charlotte Heywood, is played by Rose Williams, an up-and-comer. The star of Sanditon, Rose Williams, also has a signature role in the TV series Reign as French princess Claude de Valois.
Reign is a historical romantic drama that is based on the life of Mary, Queen of Scots. You can look forward to heaps of political mischief, sexual intrigue, and plenty of ploys for marriage.
If a love of literature is what attracted you to Sanditon, then you should definitely check out A Quiet Passion. Rose Williams lets her character Charlotte cross genres as she stars in this 2016 film about the beloved American poet Emily Dickenson.
A Quiet Passion follows Emily's life from when she is a young schoolgirl all the way to when she's become a very talented, yet reclusive poet. Rose plays the role of young Vinny Dickenson, Emily's sister. This biographical film will help fill the void that Sanditon has left. Heck, it might even inspire you to pick up a book!
Ordeal by Innocence
While you're at it, put Ordeal by Innocence on your literature list. Based on the Agatha Christie novel, Ordeal by Innocence is a mystery drama thriller that kicks other family dramas aside.
When a wealthy philanthropist is murdered, her adopted son is arrested for her murder. He, however, claims he is innocent and eventually many in the family doubt he is guilty. Crystal Clarke, who plays our favorite character in Sanditon, Miss Lambe, stars as the daughter in this drama, Tina Argyll.
If you haven't seen the classic British rom-com Love Actually, now is your chance. Kris Marshall who plays passionate Sanditon patriarch Tom Parker, has a signature role in Love Actually. Kris plays Colin Frissell, a young swinger bound for America.
Love Actually follows the lives of eight different couples who are each dealing with different relationship issues. The characters are all loosely tied to each other, but the diversity is what makes Love Actually so refreshing. If you want to see a young Tom Parker saying very goofy things, give this movie a go.
Upstairs, Downstairs
Anne Reid, the witty Lady Dunham in Sanditon also stars in the 2010 remake of British drama Upstairs, Downstairs. Similar to Downton Abbey this show takes place in a large London townhouse and focuses on the dramatic lives of both the servants (downstairs) and the aristocratic Belamy family (upstairs.)
Just as snobby as Lady Dunham, Anne Reid's character, Mrs. Thackeray is full of drive. She values her work and is always concerned about meeting high standards. If you want to see Lady Dunham stripped of her riches, you'll get a smile out of watching Anne Reid in Upstairs, Downstairs.

I am so hoping for another season of Sanditon-The producers have encouraged us (The Sisterhood) to keep fighting and so we shall. We must have the completion to the story
Ich hoffe das dieses Ende nicht definitiv ist. Auch ich wünsche mir eine Fortsetzung und natürlich mit einem Happy End :-)

By now, it should be abundantly clear to most Black Americans that a Black president is not necessarily the end-all-be-all regarding solutions to our unique issues and concerns. With the likelihood of a Black agenda receiving priority in Washington virtually nil, over the long term the "Do-for-self" work ethic offers more to us than does waiting for the good will of government.
With an economy in shambles, two on-going wars and a vocal conservative opposition, President Obama's political obligations and "walking of the tightrope" limit his ability to adequately address the specific needs of Black people. From Black unemployment numbers, to incarceration rates or government funding of HBCUs, for political reasons the Obama administration has been careful not to appear as being too much in favor of one group over another.
Although Mr. Obama has appointed people of color to important cabinet posts and other high ranking government positions, this will have little immediate impact upon the masses of our people. As "power concedes nothing without a demand," a petition will not be taken seriously without a consistent and united front from among the petitioners. Where there is division among constituents, there is political weakness and as a consequence there is little or no progressive action. With the onus therefore resting upon us, an examination of past efforts will not only aid in continuing our social and political advancements, but through analysis and correction we may also develop the infrastructure necessary to protect the interests of our progeny.
In the summer of 1941, civil rights activist and organizer A. Philip Randolph demanded that President Franklin D. Roosevelt end discriminatory hiring practices within the defense industry. With the threat of a massive march on Washington D.C., the President signed Executive Order 8802: "Reaffirming Policy Of Full Participation In The Defense Program By All Persons, Regardless Of Race, Creed, Color, Or National Origin, And Directing Certain Action In Furtherance Of Said Policy." Although the march was called off to the disappointment of those wishing to participate, Mr. Randolph succeeded in leveraging a movement to win federal concessions and to institute what became known as The Fair Employment Act.
By 1963, initially in the name of public accommodations, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. succeeded in planning and executing his much lauded march on Washington. Through a moral appeal to America and the world and through the building of the Civil Rights movement, his efforts helped to bring forth two major pieces of legislation: The Civil Rights Act of 1964 and The Voting Rights Act of 1965.
In both cases, Randolph and King sought redress by petitioning government and for the most part they succeeded. In bringing attention to the plight of Black people, they fostered social and political change through the mobilization of their followers. However, beyond social equality and political inclusion, the long-term economic interests of Black people were not part of their initial agendas. With the advent of World War II, Mr. Randolph's efforts were directed toward the desegregation of the armed forces, and in 1968 Dr. King was assassinated before he could lead a second Washington march on behalf of the poor.
Black Americans have spent much blood and treasure in the quest for human and civil rights, and rightfully so, but missing was the call to reconciliation and responsibility among ourselves as Black people. While past marches and movements issued moral demands upon the government and the dominant white society, few mobilizations called for accountability among us as a people.
The 1995 Million Man March on Washington, urged Black men to look inward and to begin the process of atonement in our families and communities. A march addressing both the spiritual and psychological dimensions of our condition, America and the world witnessed another side of the Black man that for years had been hidden beneath negative propaganda and media stereotypes. The unity of Black people, as an important component to the establishment of our long term interests was highlighted as was a demand that we overcome the obstacles that have prevented us from coming together.
Today, our greatest impediment appears to be what many have colloquially termed "the Willie Lynch Syndrome." Perhaps an explanation for the "crabs in a bucket" mentality that has undermined the speed and nature of our progress, the establishment of operational unity can only emerge when we find and respect the common denominator that binds us. As time continues to "dictate the agenda," the necessity of our coming together as a people cannot be denied. Until we have awakened to the cause that is greater than us all - the future of our children - we can only expect high hopes amid stagnation and wishful thinking.


Beginning July 23, it will be against the law for Washington drivers to use hand-held electronics while they are driving. This includes all electronic devices—cell phones, tablets, laptops and video games. Tickets for driving while using hand-held electronics will go on your record and be reported to your insurance company.
The new law was enacted by the state Legislature this year. The original bill was sponsored by Sens. Ann Rivers, Marko Liias, Reuven Carlyle and Patty Kuderer. According to the Washington state Traffic Safety Commission, fatalities from distracted driving increased 32 percent from 2014 to 2015 in Washington, and one-quarter of all crashes involved a cell phone in use just prior to the crash.
The commission's most recent collision report, from 2014, shows that distracted drivers crash every 12 minutes. Distraction was a factor in 40 percent of all collisions, the single most frequent contributing factor in all collisions that year. Distracted driving was a factor in 123 fatal collisions.
The number of collisions in your region contribute to increased insurance premiums. If the number of collisions increases, your rates are likely to as well.

The "new" version of the Senate's health care bill released yesterday is just as bad – if not worse -- as the previous version.
Touted as the "Better Care Reconciliation Act," the bill does nothing to live up to its title. If enacted as is, the legislation would drive up costs for lower-income and older individuals, severely weaken consumer protections and leave more people uninsured.
There's no doubt that the Affordable Care Act needs fixes. But Congress for years has refused to make them. Instead, the focus now is on legislation that would be devastating for all states, including Washington, as Gov. Inslee and I noted recently.
As I've said repeatedly, the best thing that could happen is for the Senate to reject the current bill and start over. Some are proposing a bipartisan approach. Let's hope this can happen.

Fanatics owner Michael Rubin put his $18 billion empire aside to focus on families affected by unfair justice system

Throughout 2021, Fanatics chairman Michael Rubin spent his time bringing his company to an $18 billion e-commerce empire.
He took over Major League Baseball's trading card license, guaranteed $1 billion in revenue, and also locked up baseball's NFT rights. He lured the Dallas Cowboys e-commerce operations, started a Fanatics China operation and even got an investment from Jay-Z.
Hours before the Philadelphia 76ers, a team he co-owns, played a home game against the Miami Heat on Dec. 15, Rubin put the business aside, and focused on something more significant.
"I think of business all the time, but I didn't running up and down that court," Rubin said. "That's actually amazing to me. I didn't look at my phone for more than an hour. I didn't think about work."
The reason: Rubin needed to pay attention to families impacted by an unfair criminal justice system. He needed to show his friend, hip-hop star Meek Mill, that he remains engaged in REFORM Alliance, an organization created to push for a change in the criminal justice system.
And Rubin, 49, also needed to protect his basketball credibility and get the best of another musical superstar who joined 25 children and families at Well Fargo Center for REFORM Alliance night.
"He's the only person that sucks at basketball more than me," joked Rubin, referencing rapper Lil Baby. "I was not going to be outdone by Lil Baby in basketball."
Making the call
Follow Rubin around long enough, and you'll find he's memorized Meek Mill's story.
Rubin explains how Mill's 2017 sentencing impacted him in front of 76ers coach Doc Rivers. He spoke about it in a TV interview while Sixers majority owner and Apollo Global Management co-founder Josh Harris closely monitoring.
"That means he's figuring it out," said Rubin of Harris' learning how to give back. "Josh is more focused than ever on giving back to the community."
Mill, the Philadelphia-born hip-hop star known in the criminal justice system as Robert Williams, was sentenced to 2-to-4 years in prison for a parole violation in 2017. The sentence caught national attention, and Jay Z provided more awareness about an unfair system.
In a 2017 New York Times piece, he wrote probation is similar to a "land mine," adding one "random misstep" could bring "consequences greater than the crime."
Williams' case also caught Rubin's complete attention when Mill invited him to follow the proceedings and "see what happens to Black people when they go to court," recalled Rubin.
Mill's story is well documented in a 2018 piece for ESPN's The Undefeated. The article the details of Mill's entry into the probation system since age 19, growing up in North Philadelphia.
When Rubin recalls the 2017 sentencing, he says: "The smartest thing he ever did was call me."
In 2019, Rubin joined Mill, Jay Z, and sports owners including Brooklyn Nets co-owner Clara Wu Tsai to start REFORM Alliance. The organization wants to bring more awareness to injustices within the criminal justice system. REFORM board members pledged $50 million, according to CNN. And now-former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey increased that figure with his $10 million donation in May 2019.
REFORM claims to have raised more since then but would not provide CNBC with an exact figure. But since establishing REFORM, Rubin said 13 bills were passed in eight states, including California, where probation is now capped at two years for most violations.
He added legislation in Pennsylvania is now at the state senate level.
According to the U.S. Department of Justice, "community supervision," — those on probation or parole — dropped from more than 4.1 million individuals supervised to roughly 3.8 million during 2020. And for probation only, down 8.3% the largest annual decline for those on probation since in 1980.
Rubin said REFORM has "made good progress" in helping to repair a "broken" system.
"We don't want people to do something minor like smoking weed to go back to prison," he added. "It's a waste of taxpayers' money, and we're ruining families and hurting people."
"Mike has learned a lot," Mill told CNBC. "Now he understands the world I come from – where we come," he added, referencing this reporter, also a North Philly native. "He understands the poverty, and I think he cares enough where he can participate to this level."

The conversation at table one
To bring more awareness to REFORM and provide a NBA Christmas experience, Mill and Rubin collaborated to host 25 children ages 6 to 18 who have been negatively impacted by probation and parole violations.
Mill said he made call to Rubin with a simple request: "Can you help me make some kids feel special in my community."
"The holidays is part of it," Mill told CNBC. "Young kids not having parents in the house might not have good holidays."
"Every kid here has a mom or dad that's currently in prison or has been in prison for a technical violation," added Rubin. "They didn't commit a crime but went to prison."
The young participants played a mini scrimmage game before the Sixers-Heat game. It was Team Meek Mill versus Team Lil Baby. Rubin joined Mill so he could compete with Lil Baby most of the game.
The two dove on the floor to obtain a loose ball, and the Atlanta musician got the best of Rubin on jump ball.
"I feel like they were trying me," joked Lil Baby.
Asked why he accepted the invitation to join the REFORM event, Lil Baby responded: "I've been in some of these situations, so it was a definite for me. I come from that environment."
The children also joined a Q&A session with Sixers coach Doc Rivers and watched Sixers fall to the Heat from a suite and courtside seats with Mill, Lil Baby and TikTok stars Charli and Dixie D'Amelio.
The kids also received gift bags stuffed with NBA merchandise.
"For these kids to be here and play basketball with Lil Baby and Meek Mill – we wanted to give them the best day of their life," said Rubin.
And the event also served as another chance for Rubin to hear more stories about the "broken system."
During the REFORM dinner with families, Rubin sat at Table 1 and joined Recco Ford Sr., a Philadelphia native who also received a 2-to-4 year sentence in 2015 because he was late to a probation meeting.
Ford said the conversation with Rubin at Table 1 was "surreal" and "motivational." Asked what he sees when he looks at the Fanatics owner, Ford responded: "I see someone that has a lot of influence and giving back, and taking time to help."

"This is a time to make real change happen in this country, and I feel like the organization is at the tip of that change," said REFORM CEO Robert Rooks. "The business side to this: How can we do more of these events and stand-in for our loved ones in the community."
Back to the business
After the scrimmage concluded, Rubin retrieved his phone, but nothing significant had happened during the game.
MLB, Fanatics' biggest sports client, is still in a lockout. The chatter on Wall Street was slow, and the $18 billion company was fine.
"Eight text messages and only nine emails – it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be," Rubin said. "I'll go back [to New York] more excited about this event more than anything I did in business today."
With the fun over, asked what he sees when he looks at Michael Rubin, Lil Baby responded: "A businessman all day every day. And that's why we click."
Told Lil Baby refers to him as "my older dude," Rubin laughed.
"He'll call me up and ask a lot of different things. 'What do you think about this company? Should I invest? Should I not invest? What do you think about this business situation?'
"He was in prison five years ago, and now he's one of the biggest artists in the world," Rubin added. "His worth ethic is insane."
Asked what he wants peers on Wall Street to take from REFORM Alliance's event, Rubin challenged them to give back.
"When you talk about people on Wall Street, you're talking about people who are generally better off," Rubin said. "They've got a responsibility to make a difference.
"Meek is lucky, and I'm lucky," Rubin added. "It's our responsibility to give back to our communities. Anyone who is fortunate to be in a good position and doesn't give back is not a good human being."

Isn't that such a true and beautiful thought!
I could actually plant something!
The word "cool" is used a little too much for my liking but then again I won't be complaining about being too hot!
I think we're about a week off this year. I'm still waiting to see the daffodils bloom.
How is it going in your area?
Great quote of Audrey Hepburn! So true. You are a week off this year in the garden, we in The Netherlands are 3 weeks ahead, roses are already showing flowers, never had this before.
Le printemps fut précoce et les prés regorgent de fleurs... Les genêts sont magnifiques... Le muguet est arrivé avec de l'avance.
Le printemps est une saison que j'adore, c'est d'ailleurs ma préférée.
Merci pour ce joli billet... accompagné de merveilleuses photos.
Our daffodils are all but over.
Great quote! You've still to enjoy what been and gone in my garden. I'm sure you'll be relishing in blooms before too long!
Went from snow to a couple nice days and then into the mid 80's which wasn't good for some brand new leaves on a couple things barely in and burned them up. Hoping it didn't ruin my one Japanese Maple. We are weeks behind here.


Teaching and learning will take place in practical classes of all the students (LOs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5), working in groups, with individual and group work to support the main projects as appropriate. Attendance at all classes is vital. Students will be expected to collaborate successfully with their fellow students and contribute to the joint development of the group's work on the projects as well as their individual learning. Following on from initial workshops, you will move into a more intensive rehearsal period in preparation for public presentation.
Embedding of employability/ PDP/ scholarship skills: You will develop a number of transferable skills, including the ability to discuss critically and analytically, and to articulate arguments orally. You will learn to work well in groups and on your own to approach creative problem-solving.
Assessment: Formative assessment will consider your continual engagement with and contribution to the work of the class, which will be monitored throughout the module (LOs 1,2,3,4,5).. Peer assessment will also be used to assess the working relationships you create with your peers (LOs 1,2,3,4,5). Summative assessment for this module will be based on the quality of your work in a final stage performance (LOs 1,2,3,4,5).
Your work in this trimester will consist of working in a simulated professional environment to produce a stage performance. The type and length of the material chosen may range from contemporary to period, and may involve any number of cast members, depending upon the group's and the projects' needs.
The rehearsals and classes will approach professional conditions with shorter timescales and working towards a finished and professional standard performance. The project will be technically, intellectually and emotionally more challenging than those in earlier years.
Your understanding and knowledge of the work will be extended by your increased experience, and your technical, acting vocal and movement skills will be further developed by rehearsal and direction.
1. Create and sustain a skilfully judged performance in a project for public performance, drawing on a range of analytical and practical sources.
2. Successfully develop a performance in a simulated professional environment, working collaboratively with qualified professional practitioners.
3. Evidence creative, intelligent and skilful engagement through the medium of performance in responding to a director's interpretation of a text.
5. Respond positively to new processes, and critically examine intellectual and emotional areas in relation to chosen material.


The Song of Gospel Praise.
Setting goals and achieving them is a reflection of God's image in humans. Focusing on one thing has proven to produce great success for many entrepreneurs, although their achievements are only temporal. The ultimate goal of the Gospel is to spiritually and positionally restore us in Jesus Christ back to our original spiritual condition and purpose in the eyes of our Creator. The Westminster Shorter Catechism puts it this way: "the chief end of man is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever." How is this done?


Co-Conspirator's event design by SabaWear questions who is the warrior and how else can we challenge social norms.
In recent research, Native Americans endure alcoholism-related mortality rates that are 514% higher than the general population. Suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death for Native Americans and is nearly three times higher than the national rate (Indian Health Service, 2012). Additionally, Native boys face untimely deaths that are violence-related 75% of the time, which include both homicide and suicide (Indian Health Service, 2010).
While these statistics do not lessen the appalling conditions of Indigenous women and children, they do infer the ignored crisis that affect Indigenous men – which is inexorably tied to violence against our land, women, families and communities.
Truthfully, we need our Indigenous boys and men in our movements because no one is disposable. We also need our boys and men to take up the work of dismantling misogyny, male privilege and patriarchy within our own communities because the emotional and intellectual labor should not only be on the backs of our Indigenous womyn, youth, and our genderqueer and non-binary relatives. Patriarchy, much like racism, is a system of oppression that effects all people that are not in alignment with those in power, even male bodies. Patriarchy was unknown to our communities prior to colonialism. In many ways the work of ending the violence that is experienced by our communities is tied directly to dismantling these introduced systems of oppression that are not a traditional part of the nations that we represent and the cultures that we participate in.

Reyes Devore shared some of the vision from the Pueblo Action Alliance and how we need all people to participate in the movement to save Indigenous lands from outside interests.
The "Co-Conspirators: Imagining a Future Together," was held in December 2018 and was a space that CSVANW wanted to hold for our Indigenous boys and men to come together, build community, celebrate and find encouragement to use their voices to uplift our womyn and children. There are steps that must be taken in order to strengthen the voices of boys and men of color. We must gather community support to educate and create positive messaging and resources in both urban spaces and tribal communities; ultimately building a foundation that effectively changes culture by addressing negative attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors about ourselves into positive ones.
Albert Rosales was a great mentor on this community project! Participants were given passports to ensure they didn't miss out on any activities.

In an effort to build community, we encouraged our attendees to print their own gear in collaboration with SabaWear. This was a highly popular activity that most attendees participated in. We also created a mural art piece with Albert Rosales to show a direct link to land and alternative was of sharing our stories. During the course of the event there was an open mic space for our relatives to share their music, poems, comments, and spoken word pieces, hosted by Freddy Lopez, Warehouse 508's Minister of Culture and Keioshiah Peter, CSVANW's Native Youth Coordinator. Art and expression were a major piece of the Co-Conspirators event and allowed our participants to utilize creativity as a catalyst to convey their understanding of their role in their own territory. We acknowledge that the screen printing, open mic, panel discussion, and mural painting activities allowed us to focus on sustaining conversations through community gathering and the networking of skills.
The community made some great additions to this piece under Albert's mentorship and guidance.
We ended the evening with a panel to focus on the ways that our boys and men are working to dismantle patriarchy in their own homes and communities. The panel was hosted by Cecelia Westman, CSVANW's Advocate Coordinator who has previous experience engaging men and boys in dialogues and activities centered on ending patriarchal oppression. The panel participants were Hakim Bellamy, Randy Sabaquie, Nate Herndon, and Roberto Reyes. Panel participants reflected on their own experiences with toxic masculinity and how they have both participated in it and challenged it within their own families, amongst their peers, and in their communities. We appreciate how transparent the panel discussion was and the points of vulnerability that were shared with our attendees as life lessons.
Together, we call on our Indigenous boys and men to eliminate violence against our Native women and children. We would like to thank all of the different organizations that participated in making this event a success by providing resources and community interaction including (but not limited to): Warehouse 508, Together For Brothers, NACA Hiyapo Group, Red Planet Books, the Transgender Resource Center of New Mexico, SabaWear, First Nations HealthSource, Planned Parenthood, Pueblo Action Alliance, the New Mexico Crime Victims Reperation Commission, and Cycles of Life.


Teen Choices A Program for Healthy, Nonviolent Relationships is a 3-session computer tailored intervention that includes questions, individualized feedback, videos, and personal stories designed to educate, motivate, and inspire students to use healthy relationship skills to improve their relationships and stay violence-free. Online sessions last 25-30 minutes.
The program has separate intervention tracks for high-risk daters, low-risk daters, high-risk nondaters, and low-risk nondaters. While daters are encouraged to develop and use healthy relationship skills in their dating relationships, nondaters are encouraged to use those skills in peer relationships, as peer relationships provide a foundation for later romantic relationships. For students involved in an unhealthy or unsafe dating relationship, there is a fifth intervention track focusing on keeping oneself safe in relationships.

Yemen: Recent uptick in fighting contradicts desire for peace
Over the past month, both the Government and Ansar Allah forces have announced expansive military goals, accompanied by fierce rhetoric, he reported, with heavy fighting occurring in three governorates that mostly had been quiet in recent years.
Griffiths to #UNSC: "Peace won't be dictated from a position of military dominance. Engagement in the #UN process must be unconditional. It cannot be secondary to territorial gain, particularly when there is no military solution."
— UN Special Envoy for Yemen (@OSE_Yemen) February 18, 2020
"The parties have reassured me many times of their belief in a peaceful, political solution to this conflict. But peace cannot be taken for granted. It requires continuous commitment and the nurturing of a political process to make it happen. The escalation…directly contradicts the parties' desire to move in that direction," said Mr. Griffiths, speaking via videoconference from Geneva.
The envoy was also concerned that the violence could threaten vulnerable progress made in the port city of Hudaydah, where a 2018 agreement reached in Sweden has led to a decrease in military operations, thus ensuring the flow of humanitarian aid and commercial goods into the country.
Turning to another concern, Mr. Griffiths reminded the Council of the deteriorating SAFER oil tanker located off the coast of Yemen, warning that any rupture could spill over a million barrels of oil into the Red Sea.
"This threat…must be dealt with on a purely technical basis, without politicization," he advised.
"The United Nations is committed, ready, prepared to send objective, technical experts to undertake an assessment and initial repair, to be immediately followed by permanent arrangements to address the threat and make that vessel safe."
Progress in confidence building
Despite what the UN envoy described as the "unremittingly dire" military situation in Yemen, the sides have achieved progress in confidence building.
Following seven days of talks in Jordan, which ended this past Sunday, they reached a deal on prisoner exchange in line with the Stockholm Agreement.
Another sign of hope was the launch of medical air bridge flights to transport patients for treatment abroad. While 28 people were flown out of the capital, Sana'a, this month, thousands more remain.
The UN's top humanitarian official also welcomed this development, while also pressing for a more "sustainable" solution.
Mark Lowcock added that the rise in hostilities, as mentioned by the UN envoy, has displaced 35,000 people since January.

Mark Lowcock, Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator, briefs the UN Security Council members on the situation in the Yemen.
"This escalation, in addition to clashes in other places, has reversed the trend towards decreasing civilian casualties that we had seen in previous months," he said, with160 people killed or wounded nationwide in January.
"For months, I have called for a nationwide ceasefire. This call is even more urgent today when the violence, as Martin has said, is at a very real risk of spiralling out of control."
Yemen remains the world's worst humanitarian crisis, with roughly 80 per cent of the population – some 24 million citizens – relying on aid relief provided by UN agencies and their partners.
However, Mr. Lowcock reported that humanitarian space there is "narrowing from all directions" as both the Government and Ansar Allah have put up regulatory roadblocks. Aid agencies also cannot adjust their programmes to reflect current needs as key assessments cannot be fully carried out.
"So far, we have not heard reports of famine-like conditions returning in high-risk areas. In late 2018, we heard such reports from many sources even before the formal assessments had been completed," he said.
"I believe that high levels of aid delivery have helped. But of course, without the assessments, we cannot be confident of the position."
Fragile confidence
As the UN envoy told ambassadors, progress on the humanitarian front – as evidenced by the medical transports – indicates that Yemen's rival sides can work together.
"My fear is that this confidence, this trust, these relationships, are becoming increasingly fragile," he cautioned.
Mr. Griffiths reiterated the UN position that the conflict cannot be resolved through military measures. Rather, peace can only emerge from a political compromise between the parties, through a process mediated by the UN. This engagement must be unconditional.
The Special Envoy and his team are actively working towards this goal, which seeks to bring about a Yemen that is free of conflict, and with a genuinely inclusive Government.
Said Mr. Griffiths: "Hesitance on the political track allows the war drums to beat louder and allows provocations to spiral and to multiply. The hard work that the parties have done is at grave risk of being undone. The parties must display the courage that I know they have to set aside short-term military goals and make a sustained, tangible and irreversible commitment to the political process."


Numerous service teams are dedicated to organising conferences, seminars, roundtables, meetings, and various initiatives designed to stimulate human and professional formation, and the development of the person. A fruitful collaboration has also begun with scholastic instituitions to create new educational projects.
The long-term goal of this Area is that of renewing the fields of science and culture with the truths of the Gospel. Nowadays, in fact, it is urgent that a positive counterculture be developed and disseminated – one that unmasks false prophets, calls attention to the traps of the consumerist illusion, and denounces all the forms of deceit embedded in today's society.
Formation has always been the cornerstone of New Horizons' life philosophy: formation understood as growth that is both human and spiritual. Experience teaches us that if one of these two is missing, the other remains extremely fragile, and the consequence is a life marked by contradictions and crisis yielding uncertain results.
The fundamental objectives are freedom and love as pathways for an authentic realisation of the self.
Freedom, as the development of awareness of self and of one's own value, of one's talents and fragilities, recognised and accepted. Love that embodies principles of solidarity, donation, and gratuity, fully expressed through the Gospel. These values, elaborated and lived in community experience and service, contribute toward the development of a new "culture of encounter and of donation".
Over time, some people have developed a passion for and specialised in different areas of formation and culture, and in publishing. In particular, the Publishing house "Horizons of Light" was born, whose editorial activity today is at the service of the life of the association for the formation of its members and to spread the knowledge of its work.
The key elements upon which the various initiatives in this Service Area are developed are: care for relationships, lifelong personal formation, professionalism, and spirituality.
