SCHANZER: Israel Can't Afford to Lose Jews Like Me
Writing in the New York Times today, columnist Shmuel Rosner labeled non-Israeli liberal Jews that are becoming more estranged from modern day Israel, as "fair weather fans" that Israel both can and should ignore. He is dead wrong on both counts.

HAMOUDI: Do Daughters Cause Divorce? Maybe Not
In the U.S., couples with daughters are somewhat more likely to divorce than couples with sons. Many scholars have read those numbers as evidence that daughters cause divorce. But new research from Duke University suggests something quite different may be at play: Girls may be hardier than boys, even in the womb, and may be better able to survive pregnancies stressed by a troubled marriage.
HARDING: Sibling Composition Affects Childhood Obesity Risk
It is well documented that children with obese parents are at greater risk for obesity. In a new study, researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital, Cornell University, and Duke University looked at how different kinds of family associations affect obesity, specifically how sibling relationships affect a child's weight. They not only found a correlation between parents and child, but also discovered a link between having an obese sibling and a child's obesity risk, after adjusting for the parent-child relationship.

Iraq Is Not a 'Terrorism' Problem
There is no doubt that the takeover of large parts of Iraq and Syria by the militant group the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) presents a major security issue for the United States and the entire region. But let's not make the mistake of labeling ISIS a mere terrorist group that can be addressed with the same counter terrorism tools that have been used against al Qaeda and its affiliated groups since bin Laden and his supporters were dislodged from Afghanistan in 2001.

North Korea against international isolation with a triple gesture of good will
In an unprecedented move, North Korea announced it would close its main nuclear test complex next month. The news comes in parallel with the information that Pyongyang will warm its relations with Tokyo and even align its time zone with the south neighbour.
Pyongyang will soon invite experts and journalists from South Korea and the US to present the dismantling process of facilities used for nuclear trials in a transparent manner.
North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un has given this promise to South Korean President Moon Jae-in during their meeting on Friday.
However, this gesture may be interpreted in another way. A study of Chinese seismologists shows that the testing field may have become unusable because of a partial collapse of the mountain under which it is located. There were conducted all six North Korean nuclear attempts from 2006 to 2017. The sixth and most powerful trial on 3 September, for which Pyongyang said he has tried a hydrogen bomb, has caused a high magnitude earthquake. According to scientists, this explosion could have made the site unusable.
Kim Jong-Un noted that he had no intention to close his other two (nuclear) test complexes. But he also makes another gesture – it aligns the time zone of North Korea to that of its southern neighbour. The two Koreas used the same time zone for decades. In 2015 Pyongyang introduced its own time zone by turning the arrows 30 minutes backwards from Seoul.
Finally, Kim Jong-Un expressed his readiness to start a dialogue with Japan, including on difficult topics such as the issue of the kidnapped Japanese citizens from North Korea in the 1970s and 1980s.
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe added that Kim Jong-Un is aware of his suggestions for resolving the issue, but did not wish to reveal how the North Korean leader responded. However, it was clear that Tokyo will follow closely the policy of North Korea following the inter-Korean Summit and before the possible meeting of Kim Jong-Un with Donald Trump. Mongolia and Singapore are among the countries likely to host the Summit.
Global leaders strongly appreciate the inter-Korean summit as an important historic step towards stability in the Asia-Pacific region.

Around this time of year, the Bespoke Tailors' Benevolent Association meet to hold their inaugural festival dinner and Auction to raise funds to support the trade. The BTBA was established when two charities; the Master Tailors' Benevolent Association (est. 1887) and the Tailors' Benevolent Institute (est. 1861) merged together.

Our Director Claire Barrett was there this year to represent Hawthorne & Heaney and assist in the smooth running of the evening as a new steward. A special acknowledgement to should be made to Geoff Wheeler of Dugdale Bros. & Co. who was this years Appeal Chairman and gave the address. As we share an office with the Dugdales gentlemen, we can assure Geoff that all his rehearsals were well worth it for a job well done.
The BTBA relies on the generosity of the business and individuals which it supports so Hawthorne & Heaney were very proud to have contributed to the BTBA's head table, table cloth. Dugales provided the Navy Barathea for the cloth itself and Hawthorne & Heaney donated the hand embroidered Gold Cut Work Crest.
The Gold Cut Work is quite a laborious process involving the design being fully padded and prepared before the decorative gold can be introduced. This can be seen on the left of the images above with the padding exposed, and on the right the cut work application.
All this preparation gives the embroidery a very rich effect by elevating the embroidery from the surface of the cloth. Once the piece is fully filled and symmetrical, all will agree that the effect is quite striking.
Hawthorne & Heaney also donated the raffle and collection bags which were circulating during the night which sported a much smaller machine embroidered crest onto Navy velvet.

January 31, 2021 February 3, 2021 admin Atlanta Race Riot, Black history, Education, Legacy Keepers, Voter Rights
By 1900 the population of Atlanta had more than doubled to 89,872 from its 1880 level including the black population that quadrupled. This increase led to increased job competition and white politicians responded as they had during slavery by implementing and expanding Jim Crow. These laws included segregated neighborhoods, public transportation, and schools. Despite these hurdles, black excellence persisted. By this time three black colleges were created in Atlanta and a small number of black families achieved a significant measure of success. Black men continued to exercise the vote they gained during Reconstruction. African American activism and the growing black middle class made many whites uncomfortable.
The 1906 gubernatorial campaign added fuel to the racial fire, as both, Hoke Smith and Clark Howell, advocated disenfranchisement of all black voters in rivaling newspapers, the Atlanta Journal, and the Atlanta Constitution.
Both men capitalized on white citizens fear of crime rates and the perceived threat of black men against white women. On September 22, after four alleged sexual attacks on white women by black men were reported in the local white press, a mob of approximately 10,000 white men formed downtown. The mob surged through black Atlanta neighborhoods destroying businesses and assaulting hundreds of black men.
The violence became so dangerous that the state militia was called in to take control of the city. Still, some white groups persisted in attacking black neighborhoods, and black men organized to defend their homes and families on the campus of Atlanta University. Led by educator, sociologism, civil rights activist, and Pan-Africanist, W.E.B. Dubois and his shot gun, those who could make it took refuge inside North Hall, renamed Fountain Hall by Morris Brown College is currently being refurbished.
Georgia Encyclopedia estimates the number of blacks killed between 25 and 40 while two white Americans were killed. Hundreds more people were injured or saw businesses and homes destroyed.
News of the riot spread across the globe and threatened Henry Grady's illusion of "the New South" and the economic stability of the region. According to Grady, "The old South rested everything on slavery and agriculture, unconscious that these could neither give nor maintain healthy growth. The South's perfect democracy, the oligarchs leading in the popular movement; a social system compact and closely knitted, less splendid on the surface, but stronger at the core; a hundred farms for every plantation, fifty homes for every palace; and a diversified industry that meets the complex needs of this complex age."
White leaders reached out to the black elite, to negotiate a peace. These meetings set the stage for the Atlanta Way.
Following the Atlanta riot and other riots across he country, W.E.B. Dubois a founding member of the Niagara Movement, left that movement to form the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and The Crisis. Originally subtitled, "A Record of the Darker Races," The Crisis was a groundbreaking outlet for discussing critical issues confronting the African American community and sharing the intellectual and artistic work of people of color.
Walter White was just a boy when his family was forced to flee Atlanta's Old Fourth Ward to during the riot. Taking advantage of his fair complexion, White worked for the NAACP posing undercover in the investigation of 41 lynchings, 8 race riots, and two cases of widespread peonage. These activities set the backdrop for a young Martin Luther King Jr. and other Blacks who turned away from the previously popular teachings of Booker T. Washington in favor of more assertive approaches to civil rights.

How and Why I Quit Drinking
NOTICE: This website is still quite new!
A few things don't work yet, and some of the posts are incomplete. See here for more about this.
Since I have enough experience (and success) with this topic to easily write a whole book about it, or even a series of books, this first web page about how to quit drinking is going to be a summary. I'll start off with a few basic ideas, and then expand on those, as I get the time for it...
Apart from the usual reasons to want to not have a drinking problem, one very good reason is prepping. Perhaps you can make some home brew or "moonshine", but even then, it's going to take a lot of effort that could better be used for other things (like food, water, defence, etc.).
I've gone thought a lot of different stages of drinking a little, drinking a lot, and not drinking at all. (And I like not drinking at all the best, by the way.) I've thought about drinking from very many different perspectives. Both of my parents were alcoholics at different times in my life. When I was around primary-school age, my mother's job was a psychiatric nurse in a drug and alcohol ward. Sometimes when there was nothing else to do with me and my brother (like in school holidays), we'd get taken there, and spend the day hanging out with the drug and alcohol patients. That was how I learned to play poker. As in five-card draw poker. Which was played with real money, but only small change — 20 cents would have been a large bet. Back in the days when there were still one and two-cent coins.
Why I Quit Drinking
Most of this page is going to be about how I quit drinking. Though the two questions are of course very closely related. And reasons why to quit are actually part of the method of how to quit. And vice versa. If you can gather together enough reasons why you don't want to drink, that's going to make you not want to drink as much — which is probably the biggest and most important part of how to quit drinking.
The short answer to "Why I quit drinking" is that I used to have a massive drinking problem, which began when I was 16, in the holidays between year 11 and year 12. And my physical health is still impaired from the damage I did to my body during my years of heavy drinking. You can read more about my early years of drinking here.
Those who stay long at the wine; Those who go to seek out mixed wine.
Don't look at the wine when it is red, When it sparkles in the cup, When it goes down smoothly: In the end, it bites like a snake, And poisons like a viper.
Your eyes will see strange things, And your mind will imagine confusing things.
Yes, you will be as he who lies down in the midst of the sea, Or as he who lies on top of the rigging: "They hit me, and I was not hurt; They beat me, and I don't feel it! When will I wake up? I can do it again. I can find another [drink]."
If You Want to Quit Drinking
If you're someone who wants to quit drinking, or cut back on it a lot, and have found that to be difficult of impossible — the main thing to remember is that you don't have to ever stop trying to stop. Even if you haven't yet been able to stop (or cut down on how much you drink), as long as you want to stop, then nothing can make you stop trying to stop. Keep trying and don't be concerned about any previous failures. It took me a long time, and I had many, many previous failures, but I got there in the end. And once I really got there, I stayed there.
Some people find it easy and fast to quit, and others have to try for a long time over many years. If you have tried and failed before, don't worry about that. Just keep on trying. Try out different ideas and different ways of quitting. If you keep doing this, eventually something will work. Different methods work for different people.
This page shows some of the things I did, which worked for me.
How I Quit Drinking
I've thought of, and tried, a lot of different things. Some worked a lot better than others. Like with smoking cigarettes, I used to joke that I'd quit so many times I was obviously very, very good at quitting by now. But I didn't give up trying to quit. And eventually, I did. That was several years ago, and now I basically never crave alcohol at all. In fact it's the complete opposite. I'm so grateful and so happy to be able to enjoy thinking about how I can live free of all that.
The Key Thought that Helps Me to Stay Stopped
There's a huge number of thoughts, ideas, information, and reasons, and motivations that I've amassed over the years about quitting drinking, and how to stay quit. But one thought stands above them all for me. I think it works so well because it directly contradicts the idea that drinking makes me feel better in the short-term, and then worse in the long-term.
The idea is just to think about certain super-happy memories I had before I was ever a drinker. And, when I do this properly, and compare them to my memories of times when I was drunk, and really enjoying being drink — I felt better, more real, and more happy when I was sober, before I was ever a drinker, than I ever even once did when I was drunk.
That is really a big idea, if you think about it. Since the whole mechanism of addiction relies on the misconception that the addictive thing is something you really enjoy. You know it's bad for you in the long term. You know that its overall effects of it on your life, summed up over time, are a long way into the minus. But, you mistakenly think that in the short term, while indulging in the addictive thing (in the case of this web page, alcoholic drinking), that you feel really happy, and that the addictive thing is what you really enjoy.
When you take that idea away (by realising that it's legitimately false), there's really no significant reason left to keep on being a problem drinker.
When you can get to the place where you can realise that life was much better, and much more enjoyable — not just overall, but in the highs, the best moments of all — without drinking — than it ever was after you became a drinker and even during those supposed "best" experiences you had while you were drinking to your heart's "content"..... That, for me, is the biggest single thought that helps me, the most out of everything I've thought about and experienced, to never crave alcohol anymore.
In order to first discover this idea, I thought a lot about certain experiences before I became a regular/problem drinker — the best, happiest ones I could think of. And I thought about the times when I was drunk — what it was actually like at the times when I was enjoying it the most. Since there were times when I really did enjoy being drunk. But I realised that my best pre-alcohol, sober-and-always-had-been-sober memories were legitimately much better, more enjoyable, and I was more happy then than I ever was even once while I was drinking.
An idea which goes along with this, and helped with learning/discovering it's truth, was thinking about how, in the memories of being drunk, when it was good and when I was enjoying it, there was still a kind of fake-ness to the experience. A lack of real-ness. It's hard to fully explain it. I guess it's completely logical though, when you consider that being drunk shuts down large parts of your brain. So even just going by basic medical science, I was literally not fully conscious and not fully alive during any of the times I was drunk.
Also, once I started to drink regularly (which was at the start of year 12 of high school, and continued and got worse over that year and for the next few years), the chemical effects of that on my body took away, in the short and medium-term (and even, unfortunately, to some extent in the long-term), some of the natural healthy chemical makeup of a healthy properly functioning brain (like with all its neurotransmitters and other medical parts working properly). So after I became a real problem drinker, it was no longer possible for me to experience those fully happy feelings that I did occasionally have, in the best moments of my life before I was ever a drinker.
But, in summary, after some thought, I did realise that, truly, the happiest experiences I had from not drinking were better than literally any of the happiest drunken experiences I had ever had as a drinker.
I think the shortest way to say this is that the key to the whole thing was realising that I actually enjoy not drinking more than I enjoy drinking.
Because alcoholism is largely a mind-trick, and the mind trick affects the way you remember and value certain experiences (like drunken ones) over others, while it makes you chemically crave them, it took me a while to sort this out in my mind and to fully realise its truth.
The more I thought about this, the easier it was for me to not feel like drinking anymore.
Drinking Doesn't Take Away the Cravings — It Creates Them
A really key thought which helped me a lot to quit drinking (and smoking also), is the idea that drinking (or smoking) doesn't take away any cravings you might have. It creates the cravings. I got this idea first from "The Easy Way to Stop Drinking", and "The Easy Way to Stop Smoking" books by Allen Carr. I'll write more about this later.
Seen this way, the only real "benefit" of drinking (or smoking) is to very temporarily stop (or slow) the unpleasant feelings of withdrawal which the alcohol (or nicotine) itself created in the first place. And which, by having more of it, you're allowing the alcohol itself to create.
So the way to not crave alcohol is just to not drink it.
Eventually, the cravings will go away — if you don't drink for long enough. Because it's the drinking itself which creates the cravings for drinking.
I've found that this actually does work for me, provided that I understand well enough how the mechanism works, and that it is a mind trick, which fools you into thinking the alcohol (or nicotine takes away the cravings that they in fact 100% totally create), and that having a drink (or smoke) will make you crave more in the future — not less.
(The books explain this very well, and in a lot of detail. See further down this page for more about Allen Carr's "Easy Way" books.)
The Spiritual Effects of Being Drunk
I've read about this in many spiritual warfare books, and the idea definitely helped me to quit drinking. Pretty much every single Christian spiritual warfare book on the subject says that being drunk invites demonic influence into your life. Some of the books go into more detail than others. I'll write more on this eventually, when I get some more time. But the idea did really help me to quit drinking.
Return From Tomorrow
One such book, which is more of a single person's story than a general book about spiritual warfare, is "Return from Tomorrow" by George Ritchie. The book is the story of the author's near death experience (NDE), which was later verified by medical professionals as something that could only have happened by extra-normal (that is, supernatural) means.
In part of his near-death experience, Ritchie give a very graphic description of what he sees in a bar where many of the patrons are getting extremely drunk. I liked the book for many reasons but I would have bought it just for the bar scene alone, it had that powerful an effect on me.
Purchase Return from Tomorrow from Booktopia (Australia)
Read reviews and/or purchase Return from Tomorrow from Amazon.com (USA)
Living With an Elderly Alcoholic
Another thing that massively, massively helped me to not crave alcohol has been the experience of living with an elderly alcoholic.
When you're a young person in modern society, you're presented with all the usual ideas and images of drinking that are promoted to young people as being exciting, happy, and fun. Going out partying and all that. Seeing it in the media, and hearing others (like at school perhaps, or at work) talk about it as fun and exciting.
Those images, and experiences, are a whole literal entire universe — like on the complete opposite side of the cosmos — away from the day-to-day existence (even just to use the word "life" to refer to their life seems like it's not quite right) of an 80-year old long-term alcoholic. That is something the TV ads don't usually show you. It's not something I remember being talked about much in the playground at school either. Or on any of the big drinking nights I went on after I became a big drinker myself.
When you think about parting and clubs and pubs and gigs and drinking friends (and perhaps sex and picking up), and all the other fun things, you don't think anything about where it all ultimately leads to. Seeing that really does change forever the way you think about getting drunk. At least it did for me.
Seeing the sights, hearing the sounds, smelling the smells... The absolute, utter, hopelessness and misery. The lack of mobility. The falls. The ongoing physical issues that develop, that I don't remember the music videos I watched when I was fifteen explained much about. The adult-onset diabetes. The osteoporosis. The fecal incontinence. And just like never, even once, even when you're drinking, actually feeling properly alive or properly happy. It really, truly is a horrible life. And something that anyone with a drinking problem would, I think, do well to consider a lot, and to to anything they can to avoid ending up like that themselves.
If you already are an elderly alcoholic, of course it's not too late to stop. If you're even reading this web page at all that must be a very positive thing. The longer you stop, the easier it gets to stay stopped. And the better you feel. I think that the "Key Thought" in the section above this one would still work quite well, once you think about it enough to realise it's true. Drinking doesn't make you happy. Not even in the short-term. Almost all of the other ideas I had, and things I did, to help me stop, and which worked 100% completely (I no longer ever crave alcohol now) should also apply just as well.
Living with an elderly alcoholic isn't possible for everyone (not everyone has an elderly alcoholic they could live with, or live very close to). But something that I think would work almost as well, perhaps as well even, would be to work with elderly alcoholics. This could be voluntary work, or if you find it really helps you, and is a satisfying experience, it's something you could consider making into a career.
When I was a teenager I read a book by a psychiatrist called "Games People Play", and another by the same author which I forget the name of (Eric Berne I think, I'll look this up later, it was a long time ago). The book explained many of the key big issues of life as if they were "games". The games had different names, different motivations/goals, and there were particular players and roles within each game.
In the game of "Alcoholic" there were five players (as I remember it, it was literally decades ago I read it, I will look it up later and confirm and/or correct what I say here). One of the players was the alcoholic. One was the supporter, like a spouse or a drinking friend perhaps (?). One was the supplier, like the bartender or person at the bottle shop. And one was the "rescuer".
The thing I remember the most about all of this is that the it very clearly made me think that it's much, much easier for people to stay in the same game, but change roles (from one type of player to another), than it is for someone to leave the game completely.
I looked at life in a different way after reading that, as I could see that it was clearly true in many respects.
So in the example of this web page (how to quit problem drinking), it's much easier (at least for many people, you'd have to try it yourself to see how true it is for you) to change roles, to be a "rescuer" or helper of other alcoholics, than it is to quit the "game of alcoholic" completely.
The way I think of it, even my writing of this web page, right this very minute, is an example of me doing exactly that. And the same thing applies to the Adult sealed Section of this website.
Alcohol and the Bible
I've read a lot of differing views about drinking alcohol and the Christian Bible. The one that's the most consistent with everything I've seen is that the wine they usually drank was very, very diluted compared to the wine that most people drink today. Pretty much like pouring a very small amount of wine into a glass, as if it was cordial (or scotch perhaps) and then filling the rest up with water. Perhaps not even that strong.
I've read that most of the time, the wine they drank was so diluted that it would have been impossible to get drunk on it, because you just wouldn't have been able to fit that much liquid in your stomach in a short enough time period.
The main reason it was used, so widely, is for the simple reason that alcohol is a poison. And in this specific situation, it kills many of the bugs that would otherwise live in their pre-chlorine, pre-plumbing water supply, and contaminate it. They didn't have chlorination plants back in those days. So they used alcohol to do the same thing.
1 Timothy 5:23 is often quoted as a form of excuse for Christians to indulge in drinking (at the modern high levels of alcohol that are present in our modern drinks, including especially wine).
Be no longer a drinker of water only, but use a little wine for your stomach's sake and your frequent infirmities.
Seen in the light of what's written above, Paul is just saying to Timothy that a very small amount of alcohol might help with disinfecting the water he's drinking. In the modern world, our water is already disinfected (usually with Chlorine), so this is not a concern for us.
The idea promoted in the Bible most definitely wasn't to get drunk on alcohol. And there are different words in the Bible to refer to "strong drink", as in drink that's strong enough to get drunk on before your stomach just got full from having too much fluid in it (as would happen with the extremely dilute wine they usually drunk).
Even with these extremely diluted levels of alcohol, some groups of people were forbidden to drink any alcohol at all. And there are plenty of proverbs and other Bible verses that warn of the dangers of drunkenness.
So the Bible very definitely does recognise the problems caused by drinking.
The Easy Way to Stop Drinking
The Easy Way to Stop Drinking, by Allen Carr.
The book that helped me the most to quit drinking alcohol was "The Easy Way to Stop Drinking" by Allen Carr. It's very similar to his book of almost the same title about how to stop smoking. Which is the one he's most well known for, and the thing that his method works the best for. Though it also works for other types of addictions, including drinking. The one about smoking helped me to stop smoking more than any other one thing I ever found — and that was another thing I massively struggled with for many years, and finally completely overcame.
This is the edition that I read myself [Amazon.com review/purchase link]

I'm sure non alcoholic wine (and other types of beverages) does have a legitimate place. And that they really do help some people to not drink "real" alcoholic drinks. And that there's nothing wrong with them in terms of health (any more than any other type of sugary soft drink, which is far, far better than alcoholic drinks).
But for me personally, I don't have a lot of interest. The way I've come to think about alcohol, it would be kind of like buying a box of "non-poisonous cyanide". Which was sold in a box that looked just like a real cyanide box (whatever that looks like — I'm sure they have them, like from chemical companies). And tasted just like real cyanide. But with the poison removed.
So you could enjoy consuming it, and pretend you were consuming real cyanide, but knowing that it wasn't really going to poison you.
Having said that, I'm sure that they do help some people a lot, and it might be something to try out.
Using Nutrition to Help Quit Drinking
I got a lot of this idea from the book called "How to Quit Without Feeling S**t" by Patrick Holford (that's exactly how it's spelled on the cover of the book). The book goes into a lot of detail (perhaps too much for some people) about the biochemical pathways that are disrupted in your body from being addicted to various different types of substances. The book covers pretty much everything from sugar to narcotics, including a chapter about how to quit alcohol.
Much of the advice centres around replacing the nutriton that each type of addictive substance (e.g. alcohol from drinking too much) depletes in your body over a long period of time. And how to restore that. A lot of it is about amino acids, and using these as supplements to help reduce cravings and repair your body. I found that it did help me a lot. Soon I'll dig my copy out from storage and write more about it.

It was the price! See the yellow ring in the photo above?
That's right. It's priced at $429,999.99!!!!
We've seen many $5K, $10K rings on Costco.com. I think there was one that was $99,999.99 too but never one that costs this much!
I thought we should write a post to "commemorate" the most expensive item that we've seen at Costco.com….so far…..
Last year, we spotted a Johnny Walker 1805 Blue Label Limited Edition set that's the most expensive item we've seen at a Costco store. Now it seems "inexpensive" compared to this ring.
What's the most expensive item you've ever seen at a Costco store or Costco online?


UNIT 1 contains 29 sections on 43 A4 pages of text, 17 pages of exercises and an 11 page hints & studyguide - and that's just on the alphabet and associated topics! Units 2 and 3 are larger still. Unit 1 was revised and expanded again in 2000, and is due a revision in 2003 (any extras added will be available to existing users).

Committee of Recommendation
On 3 April 1945 three British regiments freed Borne. The best-known is the Dorset Regiment, an infantry battalion. The other two are unknown: The Nottinghamshire Sherwood Rangers Yeomanry and The 1st Royal Dragoons.
Notts Sherwood Rangers Yeomanry
The Nottingham Sherwood Rangers Yeomanry was originally founded in 1794 to support the Lord Lieutenant of Nottinghamshire. Their task as a cavalry unit was to maintain law and order in Nottinghamshire. The government feared that revolutionary ideas from France might gain support. The word yeomanry refers to the origin and composition of the regiment: large landowners, landed gentry, had an obligation to supply men for these tasks.
The regiment still exists. Since 1967 it has been part of The Royal Yeomanry as A-Squadron Sherwood Rangers. This means deployment wherever the British army is active.
1st Royal Dragoons
The 1st Royal Dragoons, were a mounted infantry regiment, and later became a heavy cavalry regiment in the British army. The regiment was formed in 1661. It served for three centuries and served in action during the First and Second World Wars.
In 1969 the Royal Dragoons merged with the Royal Horse Guards (Blues) and now, together, form The Blues and Royals. They are known, for instance, as the Guard of Honour at Whitehall. In addition to their ceremonial function they are part of the Household Cavalry Armoured Reconnaissance Regiment as a combat unit.
Dorsetshire Regiment
The original name is The Dorsetshire Regiment. The Dorset Regiment, an infantry regiment, was established in 1881 and existed until 1958. The 4th and 5th battalions participated in the liberation of Western Europe.
In 1948 it merged with the Devonshire Regiment under the name of Devonshire and Dorset Regiment. In 2007 a further troop reduction followed and the Devonshire and Dorset Regiment, along with seven other infantry regiments, was named The Rifles.

As the snow was swirling around our garage I loaded up my bags filled with winter wear as well as the saddle and bridles I had brought for the ride. Peter, the ride leader, had let me know that while they had plenty of horses they could always use more tack to assure everyone had the equipment to ride.
Janeen drove me to meet Keith, as he headed from Wisconsin with a load of hay. He met me on the exit of Pioneer Trail. I was stuck by a strange sense of irony that my journey was beginning at place named not for those who made the "trail" but those who had taken possession of it. We made our way through the snow down HWY169 to St. Peter and then headed into the section of the Minnesota River Valley where 150 years ago this war had been waged.
We got to Courtland and found the pasture where we were to leave the hay for the riders that will be coming here next week. A plaque in the town center simply states "1862 – 9 people were murdered in the Sioux Uprising" As we left for Morton the snow was ending and the roads were clear. We expected that we would be in Fort Thompson by mid-night. Keith and I had an enjoyable time exchanging stories of life.
As we got closer to Morton the weather took a turn, colder winds converted the light mist to a driving snow. This area had much more snow and the winds were now driving it into drifts. We met Darwin at the BP and he wondered how we had gotten this far. We followed him to his farm, which shares a driveway with the Birch Coulee battle site. The road, the ditches, and the sky were all various hues of white.
At his farm we loaded up 1,000 lbs of Purina Horse Feed. The feed was donated to the ride after a Land-o-Lakes employee watched the Dakota 38 movie at Bethel University. The employee noticed a farmer in the documentary wearing a Purina jacket, so they made some connections and a donation of 140 bags of feed was made.
The sun was setting somewhere behind the blowing snow; spurred by Darwin's advice we decided to stay at the hotel connected to the gas station. Hopefully the snow and wind will let up and we can head out early tomorrow to meet up with the other riders at Lower Brule and Crow Creek.
Tonight we sleep in peace in the midst of what 150 years ago had been ground zero in the Dakota – MN war of 1862.

About Ontario
Iconic landscapes define the Canadian province of Ontario. Niagara Falls tumbles beside the border with the United States, Toronto's skyline of spherical towers, and the snow-laden enormity of the north. This large province is the most populous in Canada, home to the country's largest city and its capital, Toronto and Ottawa. It is also where wild polar bears roam, and the world's biggest freshwater lake stretches far beyond the imagination. Ontario is bordered by the province of Quebec to the east and the United States to the south, with Hudson Bay and James Bay to the north and west.
The vast majority of Ontario's population lives in the four small regions of Southern Ontario. To the north is vast hinterland, where deer explore endless kilometres of wilderness, and snow dominates lush forests for half the year. Capital city Ottawa is located in Eastern Ontario, a region that's sprinkled with lakes and historic towns. Butting up against Quebec, Eastern Ontario has an atmosphere of a bucolic backwater, even in the streets of the capital.
Central Ontario is also known as "Cottage Country" although both names are slightly deceptive. Geographically it's very much in the south, bordering the United States and atmospherically it's more about farmland sprinkled with charming villages. This region borders the Golden Horseshoe, Canada's wealthiest region. Home to the vibrant city of Toronto and the tourist magnet that is Niagara Falls, the Golden Horseshoe celebrates the diversity of Ontario. Spend a morning in a world-class museum, an afternoon amongst insatiable nature, then an evening at one of the country's finest restaurants. Southwestern Ontario is mostly made up of rolling farmland.
Lester B. Pearson International Airport is the largest in Ontario and is situated within metropolitan Toronto. Ottawa also has an airport for international flights. Local airlines provide aerial connections to towns across this huge province, including Hamilton, Kingston and Thunder Bay in the far north. Many visitors choose to hire a car to get around. An extensive intercity bus network runs up and down the province, but there are only limited options by rail.
Ontario is a province that redefines scale. Lake Superior is the world's largest lake, Manitoulin Island is the world's largest lake island, while the dramatic mountains near Thunder Bay are known as the "Sleeping Giant" as they create a mosaic of a human figure.

The biggest asteroid of the Century to pass so close will be visible tomorrow and blaze safely past Earth on September 1 at a safe distance from earth approximately about 4.4 million miles (7 million kilometers), nasa said. The experts said Florence will get closure and move in an orbit nearly 18 times distance between the Earth and the moon.
This Asteroid was first discovered in 1981 by American astronomer Schelte "Bobby" Bus in Australian Telescopic laboratory and named after a famous prodigious and versatile writer Florence Nightingale of the 19th century also the founder of modern nursing.
A scientist has said this massive asteroid is far enough and no signs of collision or any crash will happen, fortunately, it has given the opportunity to view closure from binoculars and telescope on 1st Sep.
This month has given two major sky watching activities full total solar eclipse of the century and now huge giant will be visible without any throngs of traffic it even starts buzzing from today to catch it. The enormous giant has not near to Earth since 1890, and reach us again until 2500.
"Even though some snooping interference from moonlight, 3122 Florence can be easy to grab in even modest terrace telescopes, estimated that will be clearer as this mountain will begin to brighten to all ninth magnitude and continues till the constellations Pisces, Capricorns, Aquarius, and so on.
The live broadcast with commentary of the asteroid will start by Thursday at 12:30 p.m.
The magazine has sets the chart series for North American to observe this huge giant.
Big time to see this has already started and goes up to Sep 3. NASA experts said that ideal time for viewing will start at late evening around 11.30 pm. When it is directly on the top.
"Florence is the largest asteroid of this century and never so close to our planet since a century before i.e. almost 127 years ago. It is one of the gigantic asteroids in the Earth's locale, size is like similar to countable Egyptian pyramids wedged together".
Researchers are planning to know more about this asteroid when it passes close to the earth, by locators and detectors based on California region.
Also, can detect the actual size and surface of the Florence.
This time is likely to study more about this natural rocky bodies.
According to the scientist, it is very common every 2,000 years a football sized meteoroid hits the earth surface noteworthy, Florence is not among them.

U.S. Department of Labor Announces New OSHA Debt Collection Initiative
WASHINGTON, DC – The U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) today announced a new initiative designed to better collect citation penalties.
OSHA is implementing a series of three penalty payment letters to be sent seven, 30 and 60 days after an establishment fails to timely pay a penalty based on a final order. In addition, OSHA will contact establishments by phone 14 days after the payment comes due. Establishments that pay their penalties by their due date will not receive the new letters or phone call.
If an establishment fails to make a civil monetary penalty payment from an inspection resulting in a citation, and is not on an affordable payment plan, OSHA will place the establishment on a priority list for further inspection. In addition, OSHA compliance safety and health officers will gather employer identification numbers (EIN) as part of the pre-inspection preparation.
"These steps will enhance the effectiveness of OSHA's enforcement program," said U.S. Secretary of Labor Eugene Scalia. "The Department will ensure that firms with safety and health violations are held accountable and pay their debts to the United States Government."
OSHA's initiative is part of broader efforts across the U.S. Department of Labor. Today, the Department announced a final rule intended to improve the Department's debt-collection policy. The rule, which builds on a June 2020 Secretary's Order to improve Department's collection of delinquent debts and enhance the deterrence and effectiveness of the Department's enforcement programs, encourages second and subsequent demand letters to be sent more rapidly. Prior to this final rule, the existing rule provided that "second and subsequent demands shall generally be made at 30-day intervals from the first." Today's final rule amends the current rule to more clearly allow agency heads or their designees to send demand letters at intervals separated by less than 30 days.
"By getting demand letters out with quicker action, the Department will maximize collections of delinquent debts owed to the Government," said Chief Financial Officer James Williams. "The Department owes it to the public to ensure we are doing everything possible to hold violators accountable for their actions."
"Expediting the notifications to employers who have not paid OSHA fines will work to improve OSHA's enforcement presence," said Loren Sweatt, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Occupational Safety and Health. "At the conclusion of an OSHA inspection where a final order is issued, employers must abate hazards to protect workers and pay assessed civil monetary penalties."
The mission of the Department of Labor is to foster, promote and develop the welfare of the wage earners, job seekers and retirees of the United States; improve working conditions; advance opportunities for profitable employment; and assure work-related benefits and rights.

Calhoun Liberty Hospital Recognized by the Commissioner of Education
Superintendent of Schools Ralph Yoder announced that the Calhoun-Liberty Hospital was recently recognized for their support of education in Calhoun County.
Superintendent Yoder expressed his appreciation to the Calhoun-Liberty Hospital (CLH). "I am grateful for the support of CEO Charles Durant and his team of dedicated employees at CLH. As a vital community partner, CLH serves the healthcare needs in our rural community, including many students and their families. Their investment into our students, staff and the Calhoun County School District is a valued partnership that will pay dividends for years to come."
When CLH was in need of a new location to house its ambulance service, the Calhoun County School Board had some excess property which the hospital leased to house the ambulance service and the EMS staff. In lieu of payment, the hospital provides a multitude of services to the Calhoun County School District at no charge. Services have included providing instructors for CNA classes, providing certified nursing staff to do athletic physicals and providing CPR training to school staff. Through the partnership with the Calhoun County School District, CLH has provided these vital services, which has saved the school district and our families thousands of dollars.
This cooperative working relationship continues, explains Chuck Durant. 'Calhoun-Liberty Hospital is extremely appreciative that Superintendent Yoder and the Calhoun County School Board saw to it that the hospital would receive a modular building to bring to our campus. We expect to develop our outpatient service capabilities in the modular unit where our small hospital building has prohibited that from occurring' according to Durant. 'The School Board is helping the hospital provide new services that will help our community, so fewer trips will need to be made to other healthcare facilities' Durant noted.
Durant added that it was very worthwhile to have attended the Florida Chamber of Commerce Foundation meeting where the award was presented as it clearly demonstrated how important it is for community businesses to be actively involved in our public schools.
"I am pleased to present these businesses with the Commissioner's Business Recognition Award in appreciation of their ongoing commitment to Florida's students," said Commissioner of Education Pam Stewart. "Strong partnerships between the education and business communities are essential to student success, and I hope more businesses will take advantage of this mutually-beneficial opportunity."

The Commissioner's Business Recognition Awards are administered by the Florida Department of Education and the Florida Education Foundation to encourage successful alliances within the business community and among local school districts for the benefit of Florida's students, while recognizing businesses for their extraordinary contributions to public education in Florida.

Status Hearing for Medical Marijuana Defendants
JOE GRUMBINE & JOE BYRON

Court Cases >
United States v. Evan Corum and Ryan Blindheim (2011-2013, Flathead County, MT)
posted Feb 21, 2013, 4:18 AM by The Editor [ updated Feb 25, 2013, 12:41 AM ]
On July 6, 2011, Evan Corum and Ryan Blindheim of the Black Pearl medical cannabis operation were among the several medical patients indicted in Missoula, MT federal court for conspiracy to manufacture marijuana, conspiracy to distribute marijuana, possession with intent to distribute marijuana, and maintaining drug-involved premises. The full set of charges carried a minimum term of five years in prison and the possibility of up to 40 years, fines of up to $5 million, and at least four years' supervised release. Both Corum and Blindheim acquiesced to federal government pressure to plead guilty to a reduced set of charges, drastically cutting the potential length of their prison sentences.
Prior to the sentencing of Corum and Blindheim by U.S. District Judge Donald W. Molloy in December 2011, Assistant U.S. Attorney Tara J. Elliott stated in an Offer of Proof that the government would have shown in trial that the pair founded and maintained a [medical] marijuana grow in Olney, MT. Ryan Blindheim was accused of purchasing a location, transforming it for marijuana cultivation, and growing over 100 marijuana plants while he was observed by the federal government from October 2010 through March 14, 2011. During the March 2011 raid, agents seized 488 plants and 70 pounds of dried marijuana.
Evan Corum, a 35-year-old resident of Whitefish, MT, was sentenced on December 1, 2011 to one year in prison (including 6 months of house arrest), three years of supervised release, forfeiture of $86,850, and a special assessment of $100. The sentencing following Corum's guilty plea to a single count of conspiracy to launder monetary instruments. Ryan Blindheim, a 34-year-old resident of Whitefish, received a sentence of 18 months in prison, four years of supervised release, forfeiture of $86,850, and a $200 special assessment fine. Blindheim was sentenced in connection with his guilty plea to conspiracy to manufacture marijuana and money laundering.
The federal government claimed that when questioned by law enforcement, Blindheim admitted that cash transactions observed by U.S. Homeland Security Investigations at Whitefish Credit Union and Glacier Bank were related to the "manufacture and distribution of marijuana." (Or in state terminology, being a legal "medical marijuana patient.") The investigation was a cooperative effort between the U.S. Homeland Security Investigations, the Northwest Montana Drug Task Force, and the Criminal Investigation Division of the Internal Revenue Service.

Following Marjory Stoneman Douglas shooting, focus turns to school safety locally and nationwide
Amanda Herrera
Safety and well-being are the two aspects University of Miami administrators are focusing on following the school shooting in Parkland, Florida last week.
The deadly shooting unfolded around 2:20 p.m. Feb. 14, around the time students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland were set to be dismissed from school. That's when a gunman, identified as former MSD student Nikolas Cruz, began shooting inside classrooms. The gunman left 17 dead and more than a dozen injured, making the shooting the deadliest school shooting in Florida history and the largest massacre since the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting in December 2012.
Director of Emergency Management Matthew Shpiner said the university has had a "robust training program" in case of an active shooter situation in place for the past five years. The program seeks to bridge the gap between law enforcement response and individual members of the UM community, he said.
"We are really encouraging people to attend our 1 1/2 hour active shooter response training," he said. "It's really to provide a basic skill set if, God forbid, you encounter one of these situations."
Shpiner said it's understandable for students to have safety concerns following the shooting but said the university is taking all possible steps to keep the UM community safe.
"Obviously it's something that hits very close to home and the fact that it's so close and the scale of it, it's something that definitely resonates with us and makes it even more tragic," Shpiner said.
The day following the shooting, UM President Julio Frenk sent out a letter via email to the university community, which included resources for students struggling with the tragedy. There are several MSD graduates at the university.
"Institutions of learning should be a safe haven for all," Frenk wrote in the letter. "As a father and an educator, my heart breaks. This senseless act has resulted in death, injury and trauma for countless students, parents, teachers, staff, family and friends."
He encouraged students to "talk about it" and "honor" their feelings, and included a list of on-campus resources including the Counseling Center, Chaplains Association, Dean of Students Office and Faculty Staff Assistance Program.
Vice President for Student Affairs Patricia Whitely also sent out an email announcing that the university and MDS alumni at UM would be hosting a vigil at 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 20 at the Rock Plaza.
Charles Nemeroff, Miller School of Medicine professor and chairman in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science clinical director, said the trauma experienced as a result of the shooting will be far and wide, impacting families and friends of the victims, as well as those who responded to the emergency.
"A significant number of these individuals will have long lasting mental health consequences of this trauma – post-traumatic stress disorder most prominently," Nemeroff said. "For those with preexisting mental health conditions, the risk for a worsening in their depression or anxiety is substantial."
Since the shooting, thousands across the state and country have called for stricter gun control laws to prevent future mass shootings. The Tallahassee chapter of Moms Demand Action For Gun Sense in America marched for stricter gun regulations in the state Capitol on Feb. 15, just hours after the shooting occurred. There's another march, organized through Facebook, called "Florida's March on Gun Control," which is slated to take place 12 p.m. Feb. 22 in Tallahassee. More than 100 students from MSD will travel to Tallahassee to speak to representatives and demand action.
The students have also organized "March For Our Lives," a nationwide march resembling the massive Women's March, that will take place on March 24 in Washington, D.C. and around the country.
UM political science Professor Gregory Koger said it's still unlikely lawmakers will make any changes to gun regulations.
"I expect our elected Republican representatives to extend their 'Thoughts and prayers' and then do exactly nothing," Koger said. "I expect some Democrats to call for minimal reforms, such as universal background checks, but accomplish nothing because they can't get their proposals on the legislative agenda."

Q: Text comparison between multiple files and remove the duplicate block I have 3 notepad files in directory , i want to compare 1st file  to other 2 and drop the duplicate blocks keep unique output , for Example :
File 1:

data:string }

File 3 :
 User enter email id {
 email id:(abc@gamil.com)
 action:enter
 data:string }

 User enter password {
 passoword:(12345678)
 action:enter
 data:string }

 User submit to login {

I want output of file 2 and file 3 is :
File 2 :
 User navigates another page {

 data:NAN }

File 3 :
 User enter email id {
 email id:(abc@gamil.com)
 action:enter
 data:string }

 User submit to login {
 action:submit
 data:NAN }

A: Open the first file and make a list of paragraphs
with open('file1.txt', 'r') as f:
    paragraphs = f.read().split('\n\n')

Now open the second file and make a list of paragraphs in the second file and remove the paragraphs that are in the first file
with open('file2.txt', 'r') as f:
    paragraphs2 = f.read().split('\n\n')
    paragraphs2 = [x for x in paragraphs2 if x not in paragraphs]

Now write the changes to the second file
with open('file2.txt', 'w') as f:
    f.write('\n\n'.join(paragraphs2))

Perform the same operations for the third file too
with open('file3.txt', 'r') as f:
    paragraphs3 = f.read().split('\n\n')
    paragraphs3 = [x for x in paragraphs3 if x not in paragraphs]

with open('file3.txt', 'w') as f:
    f.write('\n\n'.join(paragraphs3))

What if there are too many files? We use loops as demonstrated below:
First, create a list of paragraphs
with open('file1.txt', 'r') as f:
    paragraphs = f.read().split('\n\n')

Create a list of all the files that have to be removed duplicates from
import os
lst = [f for f in os.listdir('.') if f.endswith('.txt') and f != 'file1.txt']

Now loop through the list of files and modify them
for f in lst:
    with open(f, 'r') as file:
        paragraphs_in_other_files = file.read().split('\n\n')
        paragraphs_in_other_files = [p for p in paragraphs_in_other_files if p not in paragraphs]

    with open(f, 'w') as file:
        file.write('\n\n'.join(paragraphs_in_other_files))

Fudgy Peppermint Bonbon Dessert
1 (16 ounce) package chocolate filled Oreo cookies, crushed
9 cups peppermint bonbon ice cream, softened
3 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 (10 ounce) jar hot fudge sauce
It's National Ice Cream Day! That means you have to eat ice cream. It's not voluntary; you must do this for the good of the country.
There was some confusion about this date, since the International Dairy Foods Association didn't update their page about this celebration from last year, so they said the day was July 21. But it's the third Sunday of every July which, because of Leap Year, is July 19 in 2020.
One of my earlier memories about ice cream (and I have many) is going to Bridgeman's Ice Cream Parlor. I am not quite sure, but I think they were the originator of the Peppermint Bonbon ice cream flavor.
When I was about 10 years old, the dad of one of my friends took us to Bridgeman's to get cones. He had us go in one at a time and buy each cone individually so he didn't have to pay sales tax, which kicked in when you spent a certain amount. Even then I thought that was kind of cheap.
At any rate, this flavor is known around the world as Mint Chip Ice Cream. But that is just wrong. The only, ONLY name for this ice cream is Peppermint Bonbon. A green mint ice cream is swirled with little bits of dark chocolate. It's heaven in a cone, but in this dessert it's even better.
For the crust, I prefer to use Oreos with the chocolate filling, but you can certainly use the white filling type if you prefer. The crust is the perfect complement to the creamy ice cream, which is "lightened" (if you can call it that) with whipped cream and swirled with rich soft fudge.
You could certainly serve this recipe at a birthday party. It's better than ice cream cones! And you won't have to pay sales tax.
The simplest way to make a frozen dessert is just to put ice cream on any kind of sweetened crumb crust.
The whipped cream folded into the ice cream helps soften it and adds some volume and fluffiness. You can skip this step if you'd like.
Make sure to use a really good brand of hot fudge sauce and ice cream, since both are so integral to the recipe.
Let the dessert stand at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing and serving it so it softens slightly.
Combine the crushed cookies with the melted butter in a large bowl. Press into the bottom of a 13" x 9" glass baking dish and set aside.
Soften the ice cream by leaving it on the counter for about 20 minutes. Scoop the ice cream into a large bowl.
In a medium bowl, beat the cream with the powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Fold into the ice cream, and spoon onto the crust.
Drop the fudge topping onto the ice cream mixture by spoonfuls and swirl together. Then press down on the ice cream until it's even.
Cover and freeze until firm. To serve, let the dessert stand at room temperature for 10 minutes, then cut into squares.

Home Articles Straight out on Bromptons
Straight out on Bromptons
"I've only ridden one for about 100 yards up to now," said John Stanworth, eyeing his daughter's pink Brompton bicycle before setting off on a practice lap up and down Park Hill's brutalist steps and gritty footpaths. "It'll be fine."
The north of England's first ever official Brompton race was a key part of this year's Park Hill Urban Cyclo Cross event on the regenerating Urban Splash development.
Sponsors of the Brompton race JE James Cycles said they hoped the event would now become a regular feature of Sheffield's Urban Cyclo Cross series.
"There were people running then racing off up the hill on a folding bike in a tweed jacket or shirt and tie – you can't get better than that," said John Elliss of JE James.
The British made Brompton is a world leader in folding commuter bicycles, and the famous Brompton race in London sees scores of smartly-dressed enthusiasts racing their tiny-wheeled bikes around the city. (There's a strict 'no lycra' rule in Brompton racing, and jackets and ties were compulsory in the early events).
But in Sheffield, the race also included sharp inclines and twisty circuits around the Park Hill phase 2 development site, along with ramps, hurdles and several flights of concrete steps to carry your bicycle up and down.
"And it had been raining," noted John Elliss. "The Sheffield Brompton race is 100% unique. This one's for really hardcore Brompton riders, because we're tougher up here."
The Urban Cyclo Cross series is also pretty unique, said organiser Adam Simmonite, with its aim of bringing traditional cyclo cross racing from muddy fields into gritty urban streetscapes like Park Hill, Kelham Island and on September 9th, the streets and terraced grassland around Attercliffe's Olympic Legacy Park.
"It's all done out of passion really, we don't make a profit," Adam said of an event that includes his whole family and a team of volunteers marshalling the course, organising registration and baking rider refreshments.
"But I think it is contributing to getting more people to cycle or getting into cycle sport. I see it as an exciting melting pot of what's great about Sheffield, and we're always looking out for new sponsors and new venues to keep Urban Cyclo Cross growing."
Plans for next year include a festival at Park Hill while building work on phase 2 is going on, with a shorter racing circuit, but with the addition of free running, trials riding and parkour events.
And Adam is in discussions with John Lewis about a cycling hill climb – inside the store's multi-storey car park.
"My idea is to hold an event after the car park closes on a summer evening, with a timed hill climb including single speed and folding bike categories along with food and music and a light show, all linking in with the aims of the BID and promoting Sheffield city centre. It could be great."
He said he hoped the city's summer sport cycling events would inspire local people and companies to get involved in the free 'Cycle September' cycling promotion programme run by UCX co-sponsors Love to Ride.
"Events like this give people a way in to give cycling a go," said John Elliss, adding that JE James are seeing an increase in local people commuter cycling. "Any kind of cycling is good for public health, he said.
"With an event like the Urban Cyclo Cross, you're showing people why cycling is fun first, then the fitness will come along with it."
Pro rider Andy Bishop from the Andy Moore Race Team sailed in as victor of the Brompton race, complete with dapper waistcoat and tie.
"It was great," he said. "And for the record, I was wearing this before Gareth Southgate."
