Interdisciplinarity, drawing practices
Artists, architects, musicians and archaeologists have all pondered the universal applicability of their own discipline and wondered at the bounty available through the dissolving of disciplinary constraints. But this paper argues that strong, speculative interdisciplinary work necessarily requires strong and vital disciplinary centres. My own interdisciplinary navigations outwards from architecture towards archaeology have explored, in particular, similarities between architectural and archaeological drawing practices revealing otherwise obscured resemblances between the purported aims of those disciplines. Central amongst these repressed similarities being the fallacy of regarding archaeology as past-facing and architecture as future-facing. This paper argues that despite these temporal teleologies both disciplines are enacted in the present and that their ostensibly unconnected practices of design and reconstruction in fact share common aims with positive repercussions for both disciplines.

A true living legend of our time. Bob Dylan has surely impacted every other artist on this list in some way. A full week doesn't go by that at least a few songs off Blood On the Tracks or Highway 61 don't get played.
This one will come as no surprise to anyone who knows me. The alt-country sounds of Mr. Ryan Adams gets more than a few spins on my iTunes. As evident by my Last.fm account.
Legendary. I won't type another word, fearing I could never do them proper justice.
Every creative professional I know, has some affection for folk artist, Bon Iver. Believe me, you owe it to yourself to give For Emma, Forever Ago at least few listens. A friend of mine scheduled his wedding the same day I was supposed to see Bon Iver live at the Museum of Fine Art. Part of me still hasn't forgiven him.
Like many others I first discovered L.A.'s El Ten Eleven in the documentary film, Helvetica. Some incredible, thought provoking instrumentals that help keep both the day and your imagination going.
Hailing from Battle, England, Keane has taken the world by storm. If you've written these guys off in the past, give Perfect Symmetry a chance. If you don't like it; I'll buy you a beer.
What can you say about Wilco that hasn't already been said. One of the most underrated, but influential bands of our time. Spark up Dreamweaver, turn on some Yankee Foxtrot Hotel, and you'll be amazed with what you can come up with.
English singer/songwriter, Matthew Hales better known as Aqualung provides the soundtrack to days when I'd prefer to mentally escape the walls of my office, but deadlines keep me in my chair.
I was first introduced to this Texas post-rock instrumental band, by my friend, fellow designer and former coworker, Chris Simari. Great for when vocals cause too much distraction.
Another incredible band for when you want to get down and dirty with all those PSDs, Icelandic post-rock band, Sigur Rós.

Local Nielsen ratings snapshot (Thurs., Nov. 30)
Give D-FW newscasts an "Arctic Blast" any time of the year. Hell, they'll even take a lemon chill. That's because the ratings make it seem like Christmas.
Thursday's prime recipients were the early morning news shows, viewed avidly in search of information on school closings, icy roads and whether the world -- shiver -- indeed might be ending. First let's look at the average number of homes tuned to the 6 to 7 a.m. shows for the 20-day November "sweeps," which ended on Wednesday:
NBC5 -- 114,240
Fox4 -- 102,340
Belo8 -- 83,300
CBS11 -- 42,840
Now here's the windfall for Thursday's waker-uppers:
Belo8 -- 173,740
In other words, three of the four stations more than doubled their audiences. And at 3 p.m., NBC5's weather coverage, in place of Ellen, drew more than four times the eyeballs. Take a look:
Ellen at 3 p.m. on NBC5
Sweeps avg. -- 30,940 homes
Thursday's weather special -- 138,040 homes
In prime-time, ABC's Grey's Anatomy easily had its highest D-FW rating of the season. The medical drama reeled in 459,340 homes. Alas, the network's following Men In Trees, making its first Thursday appearance in place of The Nine, went timbe-r-r-r with just 192,780 homes.
The local stations otherwise like b-r-r-r-r just fine.

Flavorful, aromatic, healthy and satisfying is how many would characterize rustic Italian cuisine. It's not always heaps of hearty pasta when it comes to the Mediterranean climates of Italy. Italians understand they need to live, love, and laugh, sharing happy meals with people they love the most. An Italian rustic dinner theme is a recipe for successful entertaining.
Add to that warm, inviting and casual, and you have the ingredients for a nearly perfect dinner party to share with your friends. If Mediterranean Italian cuisine is foreign territory for you, we have broken down how to plan a gourmet dinner with a couple of simple steps. These instructions are easy to follow and foolproof for a gathering amongst the best of friends. Guests will leave your meal feeling satisfied, full of warmth from the happy memories they have created on this special night.
It will be easy to find the items you need to create the mood for this dinner party. Pick any or all of these ideas to bring the sunny spirit of the Italian countryside into your home. No need to book a ticket to Italy here you can have the comforts of the foreign country in your own space. Here are some specific suggestions to help make things feel like Italy in the summertime.
Seat your guests at natural wooden tables, with a simple tablecloth.
Hang bunches of dried herbs over your table for a savory, aromatic touch to the meal.
Set a row of fresh, potted herbs or wildflowers down the center of your table for a natural centerpiece.
Bunches of sunflowers would make a dramatic alternative floral arrangement.
Place bowls of olives around the table as both an additional decoration and a tasty nibble.
There's no need to pull out the fancy wine glasses. Use short juice tumblers to serve wine the rustic Italian way.
Play classic Italian songs in the background.
Present your guests with small bottles of olive oil and balsamic vinegar as a party favor.
Serve Grappa or a Cynar cocktail as an aperitif.
Grilled Antipasto with Mezzo Soprano - This is an appetizing grilled vegetable antipasto that is topped with a garlicky anchovy sauce.
Accompany the antipasto with a cheese board composed of Italian cheeses such as Asiago, Grana Padano, and Rustico with Black Pepper. Serve cheeses with sliced, rustic Italian bread.
Chicken or Veal Saltimbocca - The meats are interchangeable, just make sure the cutlets are pounded to a consistent thickness.
Cheesy Baked Polenta - A satisfying side dish in the Italian style.
Tuscan Orange and Fennel Salad - Here is an unusual, refreshing salad to accompany your dinner.
Tiramisu - You can't go wrong with this ever popular dessert.
After dinner, serve Fernet Branca as the traditional Italian digestive drink.


SEO vs PPC, Who wins?
There are two main options for small businesses wishing to promote their activities online - Search Engine Optimisation(SEO) and Pay-per-Click(PPC). Both of these options have advantages and disadvantages. PPC uses host websites featuring pop up adverts which are only paid for when clicked on by potential customers. SEO involves traffic being directed straight to a company's website when a customer initiates a search using a search engine such as Google or Yahoo. SEO maximises website traffic by ensuring that the site appears near the top of the list of search results. Most searches never reach page 2 so it is essential that the SEO secures a high position.
. PPC allows businesses to keep total control of keywords and content.
. PPC is not affected by algorithm updates.
. The PPC option offers brand dominance.
. This option offers more immediate results.
. Small businesses are able to target customers within a specific area - ideal for businesses wishing to appeal to local customers.
. This option can prove to be expensive.
. Needs ongoing testing by experienced staff (firms often employ an experienced digital agency such as 6B Digital to monitor their PPC activities).
. Needs constant optimisation in order to achieve results.
. Customers tend to have more faith in a website they have searched for themselves as opposed to clicking on an advert.
. Return on Investment (ROI) tends to be higher.
. A top quality SEO such as provided by 6B Digital can ensure that your website maintains a top position on a variety of search engines.
. It can take time for positive results to become noticeable.
. There is fierce competition for the top spot (often from large companies) as no one wants to be on page 2 of a Google search.
. Algorithm updates can cause ratings to fall - it is important to use the skills of an experienced digital company such as 6B Digital to ensure that your SEO fully utilises content marketing and social media platforms to help build traffic.
In conclusion PPC marketing offers a more immediate return but is more expensive in the long term whereas SEO marketing takes longer to establish but offers a more solid return on investment in the long run. Using a combination of the two is also an option however companies would need to decide on their priorities and consider how much funding is available. Whatever option you choose you can be assured that if you choose 6B Digital to manage your digital profile you will not be disappointed. 6B Digital is a young, vibrant digital company based in Ossett, West Yorkshire. As last year's winner of the Wakefield area 'Young Business of the Year', 6B Digital is fully aware of the challenges facing small businesses.

CLUB CREST:
The Kilmore crest is divided into four segments, representing distinct aspects of our heritage.
The first Annual General Meeting of Kilmore GAA club was held on Sunday February 2nd 1889. The meeting elected the clubs first ever Executive Committee; Terry McLoughlan, Michael Doherty, Tim Feeley, Francis Beirne, Michael Doyle, Tom Healy, Pat Reynolds, John Lavin, Ned Cauneen, James Beirne, Michael McGauran, John Healy, John Gill, Pat Flood, Tom Duignan, Pat Doherty, Hugh Clyne.
Kilmore, known as Kilmore Faugh a Ballagh, was one of eighteen clubs that affiliated to Roscommon GAA Board in 1889, its' foundation year. A club from Corlara, Corlara Gaels, also affiliated but there is no record that they ever took part in official Co Board competitions. It appears that their activities were confined to playing in tournaments and challenge games. Later that year, in September, a third club, Aughrim Mandavilles, was formed in the parish. Records show that the total membership of the three clubs was around 200.
Kilmore played in the County Senior Championship until 1917 when they were beaten by Croghan in the knock out stages by 0-12 to 0-3. From then until 1947 the parish was represented at Junior level by clubs from Aughrim and Kilmore and was not represented in the senior championship again until July 18th 1982, a full sixty five years later.
Kilmore club went through very difficult times after the war and did not field in adult competitions again, apart from a brief attempt in 1959, until 1973. There were times when Gaelic games almost died in the area, particularly during the emigration ravaged 1950s. Thankfully it survived and was maintained during the '50s and '60s through a focus on juvenile activity. Fr Pat Brady, a curate in Dangan Church, was a key figure in this regard. He kept the GAA flame burning and much of the credit for the club's revival in the early 1970s must go to Fr Pat's work with juveniles in the 1960s.
On September 11th 1972 a significant event took place in Kilmore. On that date a group of nineteen people met in the old hall in Kilmore and decided that Kilmore should apply to affiliate a club with Roscommon GAA Board. The people who attended that historic meeting were; Tommy McEvoy (Chairman), Tommie Kenoy ( Secretary), Joe Gilfillan (Treasurer), Tom Kenoy, Gerry Connellan, (Feeragh), Michael Connellan (Feeragh), Pat King, Joe McEvoy, P.J.Hoare, Sean Sharkey, Michael Foley, Oliver Carroll, Rev Fr John Walsh, Percy Ffrench, John McLoughlan, Michael Shanley, Pat Clyne, Louis Rhattigan, and Bernard Carroll.This opened a new and highly successful era for Kilmore GAA. Since then the club has been central to social, cultural and sporting activity in the parish.
On November 9th 1975 Kilmore club captured its first ever Co Football Championship title when we defeated Athleague in the Co Junior Final at Dr Hyde Park by 0-12 to 2-4. This put Kilmore very firmly on the Roscommon GAA map.
In 1980 the club was promoted to the Co Senior League for the first time when we won the Division 2 League, the O Gara Cup. In 1981 we captured our first ever Co Intermediate Championship title defeating Ml GLaveys by 1-7 to 2-2 in a replay. Then on the 11th of September 1983, exactly eleven years to the day after the club was reborn, Kilmore became Kings of Roscommon Football defeating St Bridgets by 1-8 to 1-7 in the County Senior football final at Dr Hyde Park.
It was an epic final best remembered for Joe McEvoy's late, late goal that gave Kilmore a one point victory.
Since then Kilmore has captured a plethora of under-age titles, particularly during the 1990s while we have appeared in a further four senior finals, 1987, 1998, 1999 and 2001 without success.
However the club remains a vibrant force in Roscommon GAA, a typical rural GAA club, fighting well above its weight given our size and population base.
Indeed the late seventies and early eighties was a hugely successful era in the history of Kilmore GAA. In 1979 Jimmy Connellan captained a Kilmore/Shannon Gaels minor amalgamation to county championship glory. In 1978 Gerry Connellan won Connacht and All Ireland U-21 medals with Roscommon. In 1980 he played in the All Ireland SF Final and became Kilmore's first and only All-Star and later that year captained the club to the O Gara Cup league title. Then came the 1981 Intermediate Championship and in 1982 the club opened its new playing field and dressing rooms at Cloonmaan. Then came senior glory in 1983. All of which made the late seventies and early eighties particularly significant in the history of Kilmore GAA club.
All-Ireland Roll of Honour.
Many other achievements of note have happened during the history of Kilmore GAA. Foremost amongst these is the fact that nine natives of the parish have won All-Ireland football championship medals. All-Ireland Senior Football medals were won by five players- just one of them with Roscommon, Peter Connellan in 1944. Paul Cox, from Hillsgrove was a member of the Tipperary team that won All-Ireland glory in 1900. Michael Kelly and Martin Barry from Hillstreet were members of Dublin All-Ireland winning teams in 1906 and 1907 and Jimmy McGauran from the Half Parish played in goal on the All-Ireland winning Galway team in 1938. Paul Cox is believed to have been the first ever Roscommon man to capture an All-Ireland senior football championship medal. He was born and reared in Hillsgrove in the house now occupied by Bridie Foley.
At U-21 level Martin Cummins won an All-Ireland with Roscommon in 1966 while Gerry Connellan was at wing back on the successful U-21 team in 1978.
At minor level three Bambricks from Carnadoe gained All-Ireland glory; Joey Bambrick featured on the successful Roscommon team in 1939 while Frank and Kevin Bambrick were on the 1941 team. Three All-Ireland minor medals became five in 2006 when Paul and Colm Garvey were members of Roscommon's Minor All-Ireland heroes.
Fr Jimmy Reynolds, a brother of Tody Reynolds and Harry Reynolds was an outstanding college's player with St Mels of Longford during the 1930s. During his stay in that famed football nursery Jimmy won three Leinster Colleges medals with St Mels in 1934/5/6. At that time there was no All-Ireland colleges competition. He was also selected to play for Leinster in the inter - provincial colleges competition in 1936.
Senior Football Championship Roll of Honour.
Apart from those who were on the Kilmore senior team in 1983 five other players captured Roscommon senior championship medals with other clubs. In 1931 Pat Doyle was a member of the Elphin team that won county honours - the famous All-Blacks - and in 1964 Martin Cummins, Josie Cummins, Percy Ffrench and Vincent Hanley were on the successful Shannon Gaels team.
Leitrim County Final in Kilmore.
In 1891 Kilmore hosted the only ever Leitrim Senior football championship final to be played outside Leitrim. It was played in the Sheep Park near Kilmore village. The first game in this final took place in Mohill but had to be abandoned when a row broke out. As a result of all this it was decided to hold the replay at a neutral venue and thus Eslin became the only Leitrim club ever to win a Leitrim Senior Championship title outside county Leitrim.
Kilmore – Co Final History
Kilmore has become known in Roscommon GAA circles as a club that loses county finals. Not entirely true given that since the club was reformed in 1972 five adult championship titles have been captured. The late 1980s and all through the 1990s became known as the golden era of underage football in the parish. During those years Kilmore won virtually every Co title that was to be won and some of them more than once, at all age levels from schools right up to U-21.
The expectation, following that golden era for under age football, was that the club would go on and build on that and capture at least one Co Senior title. Unfortunately it didn't happen and indeed the 2006 Intermediate championship victory is the only adult championship title to come to the club since Junior success in 1992. We did however capture the Co Senior League title, the O Rourke Cup, in 2003.
Since the glory days of the early 1980s Kilmore has contested four senior championship finals. In 1987 the club was well beaten by Clan na Gael, a team that was then at the height of its powers. This was not a major disappointment as many of the Kilmore players of the seventies and early eighties were then nearing the end of their careers.
Losses in 1998, 1999 and 2001 however provided much greater disappointment. 1998 is mainly remembered for a memorable three game semi final against St Bridgets. It involved a draw, a replay and extra time and a second replay and extra time. Eventually Kilmore emerged victorious but as often happens following such sagas (remember Meath/Dublin in 1991) they then lost the county final to Roscommon Gaels. Unfortunately the same happened in 1999 and again in 2001 with Roscommon Gaels victorious on both occasions.
The club was then relegated in 2004 to Intermediate football and in 2005 managed to lose yet another County Final this time to Boyle. Happily that losing sequence in County Finals came to an end in 2006 and Pat Caslin, a long serving and loyal member of the club, became the 5th man to captain a Kilmore team to an adult championship title. He joins Pat King 1975 Junior captain, Mick King captain of the 1981 Intermediate team, Jimmy Connellan who led Kilmore to senior glory in 1983 and Tommy Beirne Junior captain in 1992, on the Captain's Roll of Honour.
That success put Kilmore back on stage as a fully- fledged senior team in both league and championship. The next challenge of course was to maintain that status and set the ultimate goal of making up for past disappointments in senior finals. The average age of this panel remains quite young and with the exception of a small number of "senior citizens" in the squad, a big majority have lots of time to achieve that goal. It is a goal that remains the ultimate objective at the heart of all true Kilmore GAA members and supporters. In 2014 we were relegated to the O Gara cup but we bounced straight back up in 2015 when we defeated Oran in the O Gara cup final and we captained by Kevin Caslin. In 2015 we were also relegated to Intermediate championship. In 2016 we won the Intermediate championship by defeating Oran after a replay and extra time to leaving us back as a senior team in league and Championship for 2017. We were captained by Kevin Caslin & Jack Sharkey.
2006 Dinner Dance – An Historic Event.
December 23rd 2006 saw an historic event take place. At the club's Annual Dinner Dance four successful teams were honoured. Our 2006 Junior team received their North Junior championship medals while our ladies U-16 team were also presented with their Co Championship medals.
On the same night our 2006 Intermediate champions received their Intermediate Championship medals side by side with special presentations to our Intermediate Champions of 1981 which honoured the 25th anniversary of their historic success. This combination of presentations made it a unique night in the annals of Kilmore GAA.
Administration.
Kilmore has also made its mark at administration level. Tommie Kenoy (1990 to 1998) and Michael McGuire (2005 to 2010) have chaired Roscommon Co Board both having acted a Vice Chairman previously. Both went on to represent Roscommon on GAA Central Council. Our current PRO Brian Carroll is also the current County Secretary of Roscommon GAA since 2014. Frank Dennehy has served periods as Assistant Co Secretary, PRO and Co Secretary.Frank was also President of Roscommon GAA at the time of his death on the 23rd of October 2016.
The most significent mark left by the club on GAA administration at national level was a motion brought by the club to GAA Congress in 2001 seeking to amend Rule 42 and allow both Rugby and Soccer to be played in Croke Park. This motion caused a major administrative battle in the Association. It pitted diehard conservatives against the more liberal wing before being passed on a temporary basis in 2005. Rugby and Soccer were played on Croker's sacred turf during the period when Lanesdown Road stadium was closed. This activity generated €36 million net profit for the GAA which was subsequently invested in infrastructural development. "Foreign games" went back to the rebuilt Lanesdown Road in 2010 a year when Rule 42 was permanently amended. Sadly Kilmore made no financial gain despite its great foresight in this matter.

Tetzaveh/ Shabbat Zachor: Remembrance of the Present
February 22, 2013 at 1:29 pm	· Filed under Holidays, Purim, Shabbat Zachor
Torah Portion: Tetzaveh / Shabbat Zachor
It's just a day before Purim, which means tomorrow is Shabbat Zachor, or the "Shabbat of Remembering," which means there will be a special concluding Torah reading and a special haftarah. These texts, always read on the Shabbat before Purim, tell of Israel's war wit Amalek, the lawless people who attack the Israelites on their way out of Egypt. We are told in the Torah reading to always "remember" [zachor] to wipe out the memory of Amalek, hence the name Shabbat Zachor. Hundreds of years later, the first King of Israel, Shaul, was given the command to wipe out the Amalekites- man, woman, child and animals- but spares the Amalekite king as well as much of their riches.
This act- sparing the king and some of the animals- costs Saul his kingship, and sets up a connection with Purim (Agag, the Amalekite king, is the ancestor of Haman.) One might say that the texts of Shabbat Zachor remind us of the historical challenges of Jewish security; some believe that Jews must always remember there could always be an Amalek, or a Haman, just waiting to strike. The texts of Shabbat Zachor, and the Megillat Esther, or scroll of Esther, could be seen as teaching the historical imperative of Jewish self-defense. After all, at the end of Megillat Esther, the Jews rise up against those who would have attacked them and kill tens of thousands of their enemies in a preemptive strike.
Yet many readers are deeply troubled by Samuel's order to Shaul to wipe out the Amalekites, including the children and even the animals. Such brutal warfare, punishing the innocent for the sins of their ancestors, seems out of place in a religious system that insists on justice and due process. (See, for example, Abraham's famous argument with God over the innocent of Sodom.) Such questions become even more urgent in an age of genocide directed against Jews (and Armenians, and Tibetans, and Rwandans- the list goes on.) How can we possibly hold as a sacred text one which condones the massacre of an entire people, along with animals and property?
Perhaps one way to redeem the texts of Shabbat Zachor is by seeing them not as texts about them, but about us. Yes, Jews (and civilized people generally) must be vigilant about those who would harm us, and yes, sometimes innocent people die in defensive wars. It's also true that if we are troubled by what the texts says happened in the past, we must remember that such acts happen now, in our day, and not only by countries or groups we might consider lawless or aggressive. Let's remember that the United States is engaged in warfare on several continents, and unknown numbers of innocent men, women, and children have died in drone strikes in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Yemen, Somalia, and perhaps other countries as well. Drone strikes are sometimes targeted on the basis of activities deemed suspicious from the air, but in some cases bombs dropped on villages and houses kill civilians, including children, as well. (Please see the websites of the NYU Law School drone project and ProPublica's comprehensive collection of known information about this semi-secret war for more information. Just hit the links. You'll probably be amazed.)
I am neither endorsing nor condemning the Administration's war actions in various countries; I am merely pointing out that we, too, currently take the lives of children when we as a country believe it to be necessary. Our moral revulsion at the violence in Biblical times should be tempered by introspection about the moral state of our own times; at the very least, reflection on how to fight Amalek should require that every citizen become knowledgable about what is being done in our names. On Purim, we rejoice in Jewish victory, but we also reflect on the ethical dilemmas of being a free people in a brutal world. The texts of Shabbat Zachor call us to remember not only the past, but the present as well.
Terumah: What People Give
February 15, 2013 at 4:08 pm	· Filed under 2. Exodus, Terumah
Torah Portion: Terumah
Tell the Israelite people to bring Me gifts; you shall accept gifts for Me from every person whose heart so moves him. . . (Shemot/ Exodus 25:2)
Sorry about my absence from the internet last week but glad to be back with you today.
The Torah portion Terumah begins the third act of the book of Exodus: the building of theMishkan, the portable Sanctuary, experienced as the place of the Divine Presence. At the beginning of the portion, Moshe is told to tell all the people to bring the gifts or voluntary offerings needed to build the Mishkan: precious metals, jewel stones, wood, fabric, skins, etc. The portions that follow go into great detail about every aspect of the building and maintenance of the structure, but for today let's just reflect for a moment on the idea that all the people were to give, but they were to give as they were moved to do so. The word terumah, in this case, means an "offering" like other obligatory offerings (see more on that here) but the verse is very specific that each person was to offer what they had and what they wished.
A perennial question arises out of this story: where did the people get the materials with which to build such a fancy Sanctuary? On the one hand, we might say that it was ordained from above that the people would take from the Egyptians and find in the wilderness what they needed to build the Mishkan-maybe it was all part of a Divine plan. That explains how it such precise instructions could be given to a bunch of former slaves in the desert, but it lessens, at least for me, the sense that the Mishkan was built out of the people's love and reverence and desire to make a spiritual center for themselves.
So perhaps we might say, instead, that the instructions for the MIshkan were given according to the people's resources- that is, God told them to build a Mishkan based on what they had at that moment, so they could give freely out of love and free choice. This, in turn, suggests that what makes the Mishkan the holy center of the people is that it was build by all of them; some gave much and some gave little but the Divine Presence was made manifest when the gifts of each person were accepted and honored.
Think of how our synagogues and Jewish communities would be if we decided we weren't finished building community until each person's gifts – of mind, heart, spirit, money and time- were accepted and honored in joy. How could the Presence of the Sacred not be felt among such a community?
Yitro: All the People
February 1, 2013 at 12:16 pm	· Filed under 2. Exodus, Yitro
Torah Portion: Yitro
"on the third day, the Holy One will descend before the eyes of all the people upon Mount Sinai. . . (Shemot/ Exodus 19:11)
Good morning! This week's Torah portion is the dramatic and religious climax of the Exodus narrative: having been freed from Pharaoh's grip, the Israelites come to Sinai, where they are initiated into a covenant of laws and principles as free people, newly responsible for their deeds. While Moshe continues to serve as an interlocutor between God and Israel, the Torah specifically notes that the theophany at Sinai happened in the presence of "all the people," as in the verse above, and again in 20:15 :
"And all the people saw the voices and the torches, the sound of the shofar, and the smoking mountain . . . "
Our friend Rashi interprets "all the people saw"- as well as the phrase "before the eyes of all the people" in the verse above – as teaching that there was not a single blind person among the Israelites. Perhaps he's just being very literal, or perhaps the blindness to which he refers is a metaphor for lack of spiritual perception. If the latter, then "all the people saw" is a concise way of saying that "all of the people understood the reality and significance of the events at Sinai," which is a plausible and generous interpretation.
To me, however, the key idea in both verses is not about "seeing" (even in the idiomatic sense of "understanding" or "perceiving"), but "all," as in all the people witnessed this great bursting forth of the Holy. I can't imagine an authentic Judaism that does not, in a very real way, belong to all the people- or at least, all the people who choose to be part of the probing dialogue since Sinai about how to be a holy people in a hurting world. According to our sacred story, Torah was given at Sinai but it is received continually, by each individual in each generation.
It was not given to Moshe alone but to the entire people- you and me and the rest of us- to probe, explain, explore, elucidate, expound and practice. This, for me, is an indispensable principle of Judaism: it is not the property or privilege of a chosen elite but the common inheritance of our people, who, in turn, bear responsibility for making it live in their day. All the people saw and experienced the Presence at Sinai; all the people are called to respond, and all the people have the capacity to teach new understandings of Torah in every age.

Supreme Court Upholds Legal Validity of Demonetisation But Outs RBI as Rubber Stamp Bank of India; Gerrymandering Before Assam Delimitation
Govt suddenly highlights Muslims killed in Kashmir, amoeba-like NFDC absorbs film bodies, Delhi, 1857: A world turned upside down, Amul won't absorb Nandini, Persian lingers on in India's legalese
A five judge bench of the Supreme Court has held, 4 to 1, that the Modi government's controversial November 2016 decision to demonetise 1000 and 500 rupee notes was legally valid, even if the objectives meant to be served were not met. Adopting a narrow, technical approach, the majority verdict, authored by Justice BR Gavai ruled that the government's decision was valid under Section 26(2) of The Reserve Bank of India Act of 1934, which allowed it to demonetise any series of bank notes if the RBI's Board recommended that this be done. In her dissent, Justice BV Nagarathna made two important points. First, that the RBI Board's 'recommendation' was not a recommendation in the strict sense, nor was it made with any application of mind. She noted that the proposal actually came from the Union Government in the form of a letter to the RBI on November 7, 2016. This made it clear that the recommendation to demonetise all Rs 500 and 1000 notes "did not originate from the bank under Section 26(2) of the RBI Act but was obtained from the bank by the Central Government. A proposal originating from the Central Government is not akin to a proposal originating from the Central Board of the Bank."
Second, she noted that Section 26(2) of the RBI Act allowed the government to demonetise a "series" of currency notes of a denomination but not all currency notes, and that such a major step should have been taken by the legislature and not the executive.
However, both the majority and dissenting judgments have clearly brought out the shocking timeline behind the move: 24 hours. This makes it clear that the RBI did not bother to critically examine the proposal and reflect on its consequences for the economy and the lives of millions but merely rubber-stamped a decision the government had taken for it. Leaving aside the debate that its verdict is bound to trigger, the fact that it has taken the Supreme Court more than six years to rule on this question will be seen as a poor reflection on the independence of the judiciary.
Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy or CMIE data reveals that the unemployment rate has risen to a 16-month high of 8.3% in December 2022. The urban unemployment rate rose to 10.09% from 8.96% in November, while the rural unemployment rate showed a small decline to 7.44% from 7.55%.
Maruti Suzuki India reports a 9% decline in total wholesales in December 2022 as compared to a year ago, the company said in an official statement.
The 205th anniversary of the Bhima-Koregaon battle passed without incident. Lakhs of Ambedkarites from across the country congregated near the victory pillar in Perne village in Pune district yesterday, under heavy security cover. Crowds had been gathering since Saturday evening to pay tribute to the Mahar soldiers who fought against the Peshwa's forces in the 1818 battle. Meanwhile, BBC Hindi has a detailed report looking at the 16 persons who were incarcerated for years over events surrounding the 200th anniversary of Bhima-Koregaon. The trial is yet to begin. How did this issue arise? In an interview with Ajaz Ashraf, former judge Justice Kolse Patil alleges that it was personal animus against Justice PM Sawant.
India has (again!) abstained in a UN vote on a resolution seeking the opinion of the International Court of Justice on the legal consequences of Israel's "prolonged occupation" and annexation of Palestinian territory. The draft resolution 'Israeli practices affecting the human rights of the Palestinian people in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem' was nevertheless adopted by the General Assembly, with 87 votes in favour, 26 against and 53 abstentions, including by India.
Pakistan and India yesterday exchanged a list of their nuclear installations that cannot be attacked in case of an escalation in hostilities, a Pakistan Foreign Office statement said, as part of an annual ritual of over three decades' standing, practised since January 1, 1992. The lists of nuclear installations and facilities were exchanged as per the provisions of Article-II of the Agreement on Prohibition of Attacks against Nuclear Installations and Facilities, signed on December 31, 1988 and ratified on January 27, 1991. This exchanging of lists has continued since January 1, 1992. India has called on Pakistan to release and repatriate 631 Indian fishermen and two civilian prisoners who have completed their jail term and whose nationality has been confirmed. It has also called for immediate consular access to the remaining 30 fishermen and 22 civilian prisoners in Pakistan's custody, who are believed to be Indians.
Former Army Chief Gen VP Malik (retd) lists five changes that India needs to make in dealing with China on the border. "Why do we continue to use terms like "our" and "their" perceptions of the LAC? When the Government of India has given maps on which the LAC is marked and expects the military to ensure that no territory is lost, such little-known perceptions of the LAC invariably cause a fiasco while explaining the situation in Parliament and to the public. The Chinese do not use the terminology of perception in their statements."
There is little cheer for the families of eight former Indian Navy personnel detained in solitary confinement in Qatar this August, as the government's response remains perfunctory and proforma. On August 30, they were picked up by Qatari intelligence. None has been charged with a crime, and their records are impeccable. They worked for Dahra Global Technologies & Consulting Services, which trains Qatari navy personnel. The company's CEO, an Omani national, was released just before the beginning of the FIFA Football World Cup.
Haryana minister Sandeep Singh, who has been booked in a sexual harassment case, yesterday gave up his sports portfolio. This was a day after Chandigarh Police registered an FIR against the BJP leader and former captain of the Indian hockey team on charges of sexual harassment and wrongful confinement, on a complaint of a woman junior athletics coach from Haryana. He is retaining the printing and stationery ministry.
The National Investigation Agency has registered an all time high of terror cases in 2022: 73. Officers told the media on Sunday that they are taking a "whole of ecosystem" approach to dismantle terrorist networks that aim to harm India.
About 31,000 complaints of crimes committed against women were received by the National Commission for Women (NCW) in 2022, the highest number since 2014. PTI reports that 9,710 were related to the right to live with dignity, including emotional abuse, followed by 6,970 related to domestic violence and 4,600 due to dowry harassment. About 54.5% of complaints were received from UP.

Home Minister and Minister for Cooperatives Amit Shah's comments in Karnataka suggesting that Gujarat's Amul and Karnataka's popular dairy brand Nandini could be merged had come under fire, because the brand is part of Karnataka's identity.

BCCI has shortlisted 20 players for the 2023 Men's World Cup. They will be rotated for proper preparation before the 2023 World Cup in India, it was decided by Rahul Dravid, skipper Rohit Sharma, chief selector Chetan Sharma and NCA head VVS Laxman, along with Jay Shah and Roger Binny. BCCI said that the National Cricket Academy (NCA) will "work in tandem with the IPL franchisee to monitor the targeted Indian players participating in the IPL 2023," emphasising the unit as the nodal centre for the fitness of Indian players. There will also be no compromise on the fitness aspect with Yo-Yo test being the chief criteria. "The Yo-Yo Test and Dexa will now be part of selection criteria and implemented in the customised roadmaps of the central pool of players," the BCCI said after the meeting.

TMID editorial: Passive aggressive diplomacy - Was that an offer we can't refuse?
The statement issued this week on the second anniversary of the assassination of Daphne Caruana Galizia by the American Embassy took many members of the public by surprise. And it no doubt took some members of the government, who perhaps have not been privy to behind-closed-doors diplomatic talks where such pressure is usually best leveraged, by even greater surprise.
And that is why the statement was strange. These matters are usually discussed behind closed doors, where diplomatic pressure is best applied. So why was it that this statement was made public in the way that it was? That is a question on the tips of many a tongue since Wednesday.
Sometimes when diplomatic pressure is not yielding the right results, the grievances are made public, first subtly and then somewhat more forcefully.
We in the media are, for obvious reasons, acutely aware of this type of behaviour – from all walks of life, business, and politics.
To our knowledge, this was the only public statement of its kind on the second anniversary of the assassination of Caruana Galizia from any diplomatic mission to Malta, and if it was not the only one, it was certainly the strongest.
Now we will not put words into the mouth of the American government, but this really did seem like some passive aggressive diplomacy at play here. And the very carefully-worded statement perhaps raises more questions than it answers.
In was a unique statement that was not issued through the usual media channels as a press release. It was simply a photograph of a printed document placed on the Embassy's Facebook page.
Nevertheless, its contents have been making huge waves on the Maltese section of the social media sphere.
Such as, for example, when the Embassy states that 'it is not too late for Malta to bring Daphne's killers to justice in a credible manner' and that 'accountability, strong judicial processes, transparency and convictions are the best ways to support freedom of expression and rule of law, and deter future would-be criminals'.
What is the US trying to tell us exactly? Again, we will not put words into any government's mouth but the writing is very clearly on the (Facebook) wall for all and sundry to see.
The Embassy went on, in not too thinly disguised diplomatic language, that it continues 'to call for a thorough, transparent, and timely conclusion to the investigation into Daphne's death'. Should we take this to mean that so far, the US government, which is following this situation very closely indeed for reasons best known to it, that the investigation so far has been anything but 'thorough, transparent, and timely'?
And to make matters even worse, the Embassy even appeared to admonish the government to a certain extent, saying that Caruana Galizia, 'took risks to promote greater transparency and speak uncomfortable truths to those in power', and we all know very well where she stood on these issues.
The US said how its government had supported its Maltese partners in the investigation that led to three arrests 'so far', implying that there are certainly more arrests to be made, as we all know, and, in what was a diplomatic coup de grace, it said the US 'stands ready to support the investigation in any way we can, if requested by the Maltese authorities".
'If requested by the Maltese authorities'? Was this an offer we can't refuse? We suppose it is, but it's just that refusing it, under whatever circumstances, would look very bad indeed.
The US Federal Bureau of Investigation had, after all, played a fundamental role in tracking down the alleged hit men, why are we not asking for more assistance in tracking down those who actually paid them?
We were under the impression that no stone was being left unturned by the government and the authorities in the hunt for the masterminds. Yet this seems to be one huge stone, a virtual boulder, that is simply begging to be turned over.
Why is it still there sitting as pretty as ever, and why did the Americans need to remind the public out there that US assistance on cracking this case is there readily on draught, but no one in Malta is pulling the tap.
The Maltese government's silence to date on this offer, and its apparent neglect in seeking more American assistance on this case, is very curious indeed.

When I began writing this, I wasn't even sure how long I had been coming into the public chat room. It felt like only a couple of weeks, but on checking I found out that it had actually been since April, 2016. I only know that when I'm there, I feel at home. It' as if I'm surrounded by Family. A group of people that I've never actually met, but have come to love. If I'm a little depressed, these girls are sure to cheer me up. If I'm getting too serious about life, they straighten me out, and If anyone needs help, I get to contribute. Like sisters, we all open our hearts to one another, sometimes, tease each other, but always the love is underlying everything. I find that it's often easier to talk to the others in the chat room than it is to talk to physical family members. My Son and his wife are wonderful, but they don't hug me every time I see them. You all do. You always have time to listen to how my day is going and always offer kind words if it's not that great.
The people here come from all over the world. Many different occupations. Many different lifestyles, and aged from 18 to 85. But there is a common denominator; We are part of a bigger community. Kindred souls, if you will. Cross dressers, Transgender, Transsexual, Bi, Straight, and Gay, we belong to this wonderful family. We have our "Evil Uncle Ernie", occasionally, you know, the ones who come as Guests, looking for more than support, but for the most part the people coming into the chat room are looking for support and friendship. We have our crazy Aunties, our wicked Step Sisters, our Gentle Grannies and our Little Sisters, whom we watch over and try to protect. We have our Sorrows, our Triumphs, our Adventures, our Dreams, and our Failures and wee share all of these things with each other. That is probably the best thing about the chat room. In sharing our lives, we enrich ourselves and each other. In this we learn that we are no longer alone, but that we are part of something bigger and better.
We have each other, and we have the Ambassadors, who have to keep us in line on occasion, and who I would not, could not, do without. If I ever have a question about what is proper, I know I can ask them and they will find an answer for me, if they don't know already.
The chat room offers guidance, support, and love. It gives us a chance to express ourselves in a way that is not available on the outside. We hear about great places to shop and neat little tricks we can use to improve our makeup. It is a place we can bounce ideas off other people with similar interests, without being afraid of being embarrassed. After all, this family is here for us, even when our physical families aren't.
I can't imagine that I would have come as far as I have without the chat room. It has let me grow in ways I would not have without it. Or, without you, who have come to mean more to me than you can possibly imagine. You are my Family and I would not give you up for all the gold in the world, because you are mine. And, I am yours. Now and for always. If I have learned anything here, it is that I am not alone. And I am loved.
I love you. And now I love myself. Thanks to you.
I live in New Jersey. I was about 13 years old, when I first found a liking for girl's things. I found a box of slips and petticoats up in the attic and brought it down to my bedroom and hid the box under my bed. I would often enjoy wearing them in my room. One day, my Mom found the box. I made up some crazy story about using them to make a weather balloon. My parents had divorced when I was eight, but my Mom called my Father, and I heard them talking. The resulting meeting was so traumatic for me, I buried the memories of it for the next 30 or so years. The next time I thought about it was when I was in my forties. My second wife and I were watching Jerry Springer, who had several Cross Dressers on the show. Without even thinking about it, I asked her, "Would you mind if I tried that?" She smiled at me and said, " No." Not long after, she bought me my first pair of heels. Until she passed away in 2002 I dressed and often went out. My third wife told me that she didn't want me to do it any more and made me promise I wouldn't. She passed in January 2016, and now I am going to return to this thing I love. I always went by the name Paige Turner when dressed, because I love to read. Now I just need to restock the makeup, and clothes, and shoes. I have since Half filled the closet, gotten a few wigs, several pairs of heels, and My Son and His Wife gave me a really nice makeup kit for Christmas. Now I live with my first wife, Wendy, again. She not only knows about Paige she critiques my outfits. She has done a lot to encourage me and gave me a lot of jewellery and wigs. She also helped me come out to my two Sons. (I'd already come out to all my sisters) Now, I have started hormone replacement therapy on Nov. 25, 2018. I can't wait to see cleavage.
I think I could have a fun time with another person who is feeling similar to how I feel. The thought of having someone else caressing my legs clad in my smooth and silky pantyhose is extremely exciting and I have long been thinking about the feeling of our pantyhose sliding together.
I feel like a lesbian because I have a feminine and submissive feeling of being a feminine partner with the same features. I am wearing my pantyhose and high heels now and I am so excited about this prospect of my life as a feminine and beautiful sensuous feeling woman who has a need for the next delicious and feminine ways of getting what I need.

At least seven people were arrested at Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey on Jan. 18, after allegedly attempting to film the smuggling of a fake bomb in a roller bag through a security checkpoint for a television show.
The improvised explosive device, which appeared to involve parts of a vacuum cleaner, did not make it through the checkpoint as it was detected as a suspicious item.
A spokesperson at the TSA told Fortune that the television crew members could face possible civil penalties, which could translate to more than $13,000 for each violation of TSA's security regulations.

Series Review: Line of Duty – Season 2 (2014)
Season 1 got reviewed a few weeks back. Time to finally talk about season 2.
Ladies and gentlemen… "Line of Duty" season 2!
When a super secret police convoy get attacked by some masked assailants, Arnott (Martin Compston), Hastings (Adrian Dunbar), and the rest of AC-12 have to look into the possibility of someone within the police leaking the convoy's route. So now we have our plot set up. And while there was nothing wrong with the first season's plot, it is nowhere as layered, unpredictable, and electrifying as what they got going on here in the sophomore outing. In the first season they were trying to find the show's voice, but here in season 2 they found it, and they had a lot of confidence in the storytelling. The way it engages through clever drama and really tight suspense makes for one of the best seasons of television I've seen in quite some time.
The characters in this are flawed, layered, and really interesting. Martin Compston returns as Steve Arnott, the young-ish man working with AC-12 to stop corruption. He is given a good amount of development here, making him even more interesting than he was in the first season, while still keeping the determined nature that made him so engaging to begin with. And Compston is great in the role. Vicky McClure returns as Kate Fleming, AC-12's resident undercover officer. She gets development here through something in the case that I won't spoil, but it's an interesting touch. And McClure is great in the role. Adrian Dunbar returns as Ted Hastings, the likable boss of AC-12. He has some personal problems that he deals with while also trying to be involved in the case, which is quite interesting to see. And Dunbar is really good in the role. We also get Keeley Hawes as Lindsay Denton, a woman/member of the police who is one of the prime suspects of the case, and they do some really interesting stuff with her character throughout the season. And Hawes is great in the role. We also get supporting work from people like Craig Parkinson, Mark Bonnar, Tony Pitts, Sacha Dhawan, and more, all doing very well in their respective roles.
As with the first season, the score for this was composed by Carly Paradis, and I think that it's an improvement on the first season's music. It still has a heavy focus in piano and some strings, but what it improves on is subtlety. Sure, the score is noticeable, but compared to the first season, it never gets overbearing at any point, and just ends up being this emotional powerhouse that makes the show even better than it already was.
The show was created by Jed Mercurio, who also wrote all the episodes here, with direction split between Douglas Mackinnon and Daniel Nettheim. And the craft here is even tighter than in the first season, with plenty more "holy shit" moments throughout, which keeps the show energetic and tense, even in the most subtle and quiet of scenes. A lot of cop shows fail in creating genuine suspense, but season 2 of "Line of Duty" never wavers in that regard.
This show/season has been very well received. On Rotten Tomatoes it has a 100% positive rating. And on imdb.com it has a score of 8,6/10 and is ranked #165 on the "Top 250 TV" list.
Season 2 of "Line of Duty" takes what was good about the first season and improves on it in every aspect. It has a great plot, really good characters, great performances, great music, and great writing/directing. Time for my final score. *Ahem*. My final score for "Line of Duty" season 2 is a 9,91/10. Which means it gets the "SEAL OF APPROVAL!".
My review of "Line of Duty" season 2 is now completed.
I can see now why you Brits keep banging on about this show.
Sorry that it's been so long since my last blog post, which was… almost two weeks ago, yikes. I have no good reason for this lack of writing, my laziness has just been awful to me. But now I'm (hopefully) back for semi-regular posting.
Ladies and gents… "Line of Duty" season 1.
After an anti-terrorist operation he's leading goes awry, Steve Arnott (Martin Compston) gets transferred to a different department, one that focuses on stopping corruption within the police. So we follow him as he deals with some of the aftermath of the fuck-up, while also trying to stop a certain, beloved, potentially corrupt officer within the police. So now we have our plot. And it's pretty great. It manages to give us plenty of details to create a vivid picture while still hiding an ace up the sleeve in each episode, keeping it suspenseful, unpredictable, and constantly interesting.
The characters in this are flawed, layered, and interesting. First up we have Martin Compston as DS Steve Arnott, former anti-terror squad leader, currently member of the anti-corruption department. He's a man who's always on the prowl to get the job done… as long as it is by the book, because he's a good guy who doesn't fuck around and lie. And I found him to be a solid protagonist. And Compston is great in the role. Next we have Lennie James as Anthony Gates, a highly ranked and beloved officer within the police, and the person that Arnott and crew are investigating. He's a highly determined, charismatic, and skilled policeman who seems like a good guy, but might also have some skeletons in the closet. And James is great in the role. We also get Vicky McClure as Kate, someone within the police whose allegiance is toyed with a bit. Not in a "is she a villain?" kind of way, but more in a "What's she playing at?" kind of way, and it makes her quite an interesting part of the cast. And McClure is really good in the role. We also get supporting work from people like Adrian Dunbar, Owen Teale, Neil Morrissey, Craig Parkinson, Gina McKee, Kate Ashfield, and more, all doing very well in their respective roles.
The score for the show was composed by Carly Paradis, and it was good. It leans into a lot of piano, and some strings too, creating a dramatic tone that suits the story and character development on display in the series. Not all tracks hit it out of the park for me, as some of them can feel a little overbearing, but I wouldn't say that I actively dislike any of them. Overall I'd just say that the music here is really good.
The show was created by Jed Mercurio, who also wrote all the episodes, with directing being split between David Caffrey and Douglas MacKinnon. And this teamwork gives us a show with a very gritty and intense look at the world that the characters inhabit. Which is especially impressive considering how much of this show is spent on some of the more mundane aspects of police work, making it tense and exciting through camerawork and clever writing.
This show has been very well received. On Rotten Tomatoes it has a 100% positive rating. And on imdb.com it has a score of 8,6/10 and is ranked #173 on the "Top 250 TV" list.
The first season of "Line of Duty" is an intense ride that I really enjoyed watching. It has a great plot, really good characters, great performances, good music, and great directing/writing. Time for my final score. *Ahem*. My final score for "Line of Duty" season 1 is a 9,82/10. So it gets the "SEAL OF APPROVAL!".

Interrogating Sustainability Issues
The Durban University of Technology's Journal of Green Economy and Development (JGED) conference: Greening developing economies in the wake of falling oil prices, kicked off today, with researchers presenting their studies which speak to the green economy as well as issues relating to sustainability.
The conference, which is being chaired by Dr Tidings Ndhlovu from the Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU), UK, is being hosted and organised by DUT's JGED, with partners and sponsors being the Iqraa Trust, Eskom KwaZulu-Natal, DUT business incubator Invo Tech, academics from Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU) in the UK, Unilever Centre for Environmental Water Quality, Rhodes University, University of South Africa and the Institut für Wirtschaftswissenschaft, Erlangen, Germany in.
Professor Sibusiso Moyo, Research and Postgraduate Support Director at DUT, said the 2015 academic year marks the important achievement of the University exceeding the production of the 100 research units that it had set for itself. This increase, so she said, has to a greater extent been linked to the increasing research-base within the University, strategic partnerships as well as regional and international affiliates. "The global economic footprint has prompted us as a University to engage social and natural scientists, policy makers and all interested parties to look into how we can contribute towards eliminating poverty and making the planet greener," she said.
One of the interesting papers presented at the conference was Philani Ntshangase's Upcycling! –Jobs from Waste, a study which basically looked into poverty alleviation through waste. The study intended to show that there could be a collaborative relationship with an industry partner who was committed to waste management and interested parties in working together to producing useful manufactured articles.
"The phrase reuse, rework and recycle is no longer a cliché. This study aimed to show the benefits of upcycling waste material generated from selected packaging industry. Used pallets, waste plastic packaging material and other forms of waste products were used to make household and school furniture, waterproof garments as well as furniture for the physically challenged. Furthermore, business plans were developed to guide interested parties on potential business initiation and job creation opportunities that could arise from this collaboration. This study demonstrated that waste beneficiation is indeed a beneficial initiative when there is a sustainable source of material and innovative minds to work with it. It also showed that upcycling can create jobs and aid in rural development", said Ntshangase.
Another interesting paper presentation was by Anil Sangham, a PhD student at DUT, who presented on his research proposal on The Role of Private Sector Resources in Financing Sustainable Development. Sangham's study will explore the outcomes of policy directives governing private sector resources for the specific aim of financing sustainable development on a global scale. "It is clearly established, from the very onset that public sector resources in terms of percentages of gross national product from developed economies do not have the capacity to serve the massive needs of sustainable development. However, these funding needs for sustainable development represent a miniscule apportionment of global private sector resources. The study concludes that in addition to direct private sector investment, crowd funding from globally interactive technology may provide a viable, alternative pathway to attract private sector resources," said Sangham.
The conference is being held at the Makaranga Lodge in Kloof, outside Durban. It ends on Friday, 10 July 2015.

Stacey Abrams says there's voter suppression in Georgia. She's urging a massive turnout to fight back.
Abrams has built her gubernatorial campaign around mobilizing tens of thousands of new voters

Adapted from a story by The Washington Post's Vanessa Williams.
In Forsyth, a small Georgia town far from the busy highways and shiny high-rises in Atlanta, Stacey Abrams appeared Monday before a crowd at St. James Baptist Church.
In doing so, the Georgia Democratic gubernatorial nominee made one man's dream come true.
John Howard, whose effort to get Abrams to visit Forsyth was chronicled recently in The Washington Post, said before introducing her, "If I don't do anything else, this is the one thing I won't forget."
Quoting from the Bible, Abrams, who was there kicking off her statewide bus tour, said: "Faith without works is dead. I have faith in all of you, but I need y'all to work. We've got to volunteer every single day … I need you to make phone calls, knock on doors. I need you to reach out to the people you like and the people you're mad at."
Monday marked the first day of early voting in Georgia, where Abrams and Republican Brian Kemp are tied in the polls. Abrams, 44, told those gathered that she needed them to vote and then get others to vote.
A former Democratic leader of the Georgia state House, Abrams has built her campaign around registering and mobilizing tens of thousands of new voters, focusing on people of color and young people, groups that vote at low rates and are usually virtually absent during midterm elections.
[ The year of the woman candidate offers voters a series of 'firsts']
Claims of voter suppression
In recent days, her campaign has blasted Kemp, who is Georgia's secretary of state, after the Associated Press reported that the voter registrations of 53,000 Georgians had been frozen because information on their applications did not exactly match information in motor vehicle and Social Security records. Some discrepancies are as simple as a dropped hyphen in a name or a transposed number in an address. Kemp also has been criticized for aggressively purging Georgia's voter rolls, removing more than 1.4 million names since 2012.
Abrams said that Kemp has "made it his life's mission to create the architecture of voter suppression, but we won't let him win." When Kemp decided to run for governor, Abrams said, he should have stepped down from his post as secretary of state, as she did from her seat in the legislature.
Kemp, who has defended the practices as necessary to root out fraud, has returned fire at Abrams. He blamed the voter education group she started several years ago, the New Georgia Project, for submitting problematic voter registration applications. He said Abrams was using the issue to rile up her supporters, noting that people on the pending list can still vote if they are able to prove their identities at the polls.
She vowed to "work as hard as we can to get all 53,000" voters whose status is in limbo to show up to the polls and try to cast ballots. In the meantime, she told the audience, "I need all of you to find 53,000 additional votes just in case. This election is about history. We are talking about our voices and our votes because this is our time."
Rallying support
Many of the people at the church, her first of a half-dozen stops, were older, and most were women. The audiences were mostly made up of black people, but white people wearing campaign T-shirts, caps and buttons were not hard to spot.
Black women made up the largest contingent of Abrams supporters at most of the events. Evelyn Mann, who several times yelled "We love you!" during Abrams's speech at the church, said afterward that she was heading to round up people to drive to an early-voting site. Lois Allen, a retired teacher, said she was also going to vote after the rally, then "hit the streets to canvass!"
Allen said she is particularly drawn to Abrams's vow to bring Medicaid expansion to Georgia, where hundreds of thousands of residents have no health care, and several rural hospitals have closed or are on the brink of collapse.
A new poll by the Atlanta Journal Constitution and Atlanta's Channel 2 showed that the race is a statistical dead heat. Kemp had the support of 47.7 percent of likely voters to 46.3 percent for Abrams. The poll of 1,232 has a margin of error of 2.8 percentage points.
[ Native American women candidates are running for office. Their wins would be historic.]
"We've got to turn out because if we do, we will win this election," Abrams told audiences at several stops Monday. "This is not a fight of miles, this is a fight of inches, and we are close to the goal."
On Monday night, former Virginia governor Terry McAuliffe stumped for Abrams at a rally in Atlanta. He told a large and lively crowd stuffed into a middle school gym that Democrats, who for years had struggled to win governorships in Southern states, were now running Louisiana, North Carolina and Virginia. "And we're going to have Stacey Abrams in Georgia," he said.
McAuliffe also gave a shout out to Andrew Gillum, the Democratic nominee in Florida, who would be that state's first black governor if elected.
He drew gasps and groans from the crowd when he said: "92 million Americans did not vote in the 2016 election … They all woke the up the next day and said, 'Holy … cow. How did this happen? We cannot let that happen to us ever again."

MAKE-A-WISH UK: Charity for critically ill children launches ambitious news
Children's charity Make-A-Wish UK launches ambitious new campaign Light up the Darkness - a rallying cry to grant wishes for the tens of thousands of children who are living with critical illness across the UK.
The Covid-19 pandemic, has had a catastrophic impact on the charity's ability to grant wishes, resulting in a 40% reduction in income across 2020/21, and restrictions leaving thousands of children waiting for their wishes to be granted.
More than 60,000 children in the UK have been diagnosed with a critical condition changing their lives and the lives of their families forever.
The joy of childhood is brought to an abrupt end, with treatment plans, hospital visits and sleepless nights taking over.
As restrictions have lifted, the charity has seen referrals more than double for rush and priority wishes - where a child has a prognosis of less than six or 12 months, or faces a significant medical intervention such as a transplant or chemotherapy.
The power of a wish revives a childhood stolen by critical illness.
It brings light and joy to children and their loved ones at the darkest of times and leaves a profound and lasting impact on all their lives. However, currently the charity can't be that light for everyone.
Jason Suckley, Make-a-Wish UK CEO, knows that it takes an army of volunteers, supporters and donors to help these children feel like children again and has witnessed the smiles that it puts on children's faces.
The new film launched by the charity film shines a light on the stark reality of what some families are facing this Christmas, in sharp contrast to many of the other adverts currently being released on our screens.
Themes we're familiar with from traditional Christmas ads fall away into darkness, but lights in the darkness symbolise wishes granted to a sick child, and some of the young faces lit up by magic are of real children whom Make-A-Wish has helped.

Home News & Analysis Deals Francisco Partners to exit Metrologic for $720m
Francisco Partners to exit Metrologic for $720m
The bar code scanner company has agreed to be acquired by Honeywell International after being taken private for $398.5 million in December 2006.
San Francisco-based Francisco Partners' portfolio company, Metrologic Holdings, has agreed to be acquired by Honeywell International for $720 million (€462 million) in cash. The company was taken private for $398.5 million in December 2006.
Blackwood, New Jersey-based Metrologic Holdings is the parent company of data capture and collection company Metrologic Instruments. Following the transaction, expected to close in the second quarter of 2008, Canadian industrial supplies company Honeywell will merge Metrologic with Honeywell Security, a unit of its automation and control solutions business.
Francisco led the investor group, which acquired Metrologic for $18.50 per share in 2006. Principal Andrew Kowal, who currently sits on the Metrologic board of directors, led the deal on behalf of the firm. The investor group also included multi-strategy hedge fund Elliott Associates. Elliott had approximately $7 billion under management at the time of investment, which has since risen to $10.5 billion.
Global investment bank Morgan Stanley led the group that provided the investor group with $235 million in credit. The deal included a five-year, $35 million revolver, a seven-year, $125 million term loan "B" and an eight-year, $75 million second-lien term loan.
Metrologic produced revenue of approximately $246 million in 2007, selling laser and imaging bar code scanners in 110 countries. The company complements Honeywell's $390 million purchase of privately-held data collecting device company Hand Held Products in December 2007.
Honeywell's agreement to purchase Metrologic from Francisco follows another agreement inked by the company earlier this month to purchase Norcross Safety Products from New York-based private equity firm Odyssey Investment Partners for $1.2 billion.
Francisco invests exclusively in technology and technology-enabled services businesses and has approximately $5 billion in committed capital. The firm pursues investments with transaction values ranging from $30 million to $3 billion.
