U.S. Lawmakers to Act on Terrorism Financing After California Shootings: Hensarling
By Reuters	 On 12/10/15 at 10:47 PM EST

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Federal lawmakers will take up legislation on terrorism financing in the first months of 2016, as last week's shootings in California move them to act quickly, the chairman of a major U.S. House of Representatives committee told reporters on Thursday.
The bill will be introduced "fairly early next year," said House Financial Services Committee Chairman Jeb Hensarling, a Republican from Texas.
He would not give details of the legislation. He did say that in the past the committee had delved into links between international organized crime and the financing.
Hensarling said the committee was crafting legislation before Syed Rizwan Farook and his wife Tashfeen Malik opened fire at a holiday party and killed 14 people in the California city of San Bernardino, an attack law enforcement is investigating as terrorism.
Now it will hold public and classified hearings on the Dec. 2 massacre to see if it needs to make any changes to the bill.
The committee on Wednesday reauthorized its task force to study how money flows to militants and backs acts of violence.
"Clearly the financing link to terrorism is a critical one," Hensarling said. "Sooner or later the funds that are used in these terrorist acts, by and large, enter the financial system. And we are looking at points where they enter."
At the moment, the committee is in "fact-finding mode," looking into a large deposit made to Farook's bank account by Webbank.com as well as transfers to Farook's mother, he also said.
When asked if the legislation would increase scrutiny of online lending, given that Utah-based Webbank.com is a major player in online loans, Hensarling only said "everything's on the table."
Islamic militant groups had ignored contact attempts from Pakistan-born Malik in the months leading up to the shootings, which also injured 21 people, and a U.S. government source has said there is currently no evidence that the couple plotted with anyone under federal investigation with ties to terrorism.

St. Louis-Lambert Int'l Airport LDA fix for LDA approaches to runways 12L and 30L. Microsoft put the LDA (Localizer Directional Aid) in the sim for this airport, but they are physically located on top of the regular ILS for these runways. In real life, the LDA transmitter is offset to the left of each runway. This file corrects that error.

You're sinning. Your faith it too weak.
You are nothing more than a broken, messy, sick girl.
You can't live up to what God asks of you.
Telling them would just add burden to them.
They don't want to know.
I can't ask for prayers, I've already asked too much.
I don't know who I am anymore. I've lost myself.
The lies. They hurt. And even if we know that they aren't true, even if we recognize them as lies, the seem so real. They are so demanding. They refuse to be pushed to the side. What do we do with them? How do we survive?
Yes, we know they are irrational. We know that they are caused by what the Lyme disease is chemically doing to our brains. But it's sure hard to believe when you are bombarded, constantly, with these lies that scratch and scrape at your mind. Picking at it. For days. For weeks. For months. They hurt.
We replace them with the Truth.
"My name is Kalmar, son of Esben, King of Anniera," is the sought after reply.
It is the truth. It helps Kalmar remember who he is. It works the same way with our minds.
It works the same way with our minds. The way to defeat the lies in our head is to hold on to the truth. And especially, to hold on to God's truth. How did Jesus defeat the devil in the desert? With Scripture.
Therefore, try this next time you are overcome with the destructive and terrible thoughts and lies that Lyme sends your way, next time you are brought to literal uncontrollable sobbing, anxiety, and depression. Replace the lies and irrational thoughts with what is true- with God's truth. Speak it out loud, like Kalmar! If you aren't sure what is right or wrong, which things in your mind are truth or lies, seek God's word. If you don't know where to start, look at the chart above in this post. Start with, like Kalmar, who you are: a child of the King of Kings. A child of God.
Replace the irrational lies with God's truth.
It's so cool how you use Scripture to combat these lies!
THIS IS PROFOUND, Sarah! Do you mind if I share this post on Facebook? GOD BLESS YOU! God is always with us…. like the character repeating his name, his identity, we are God's children! We belong to him!
I'm so glad it encouraged you! I don't mind if you share it! 🙂 Amen! We are His!
Thanks for sharing – this is such a common experience for Lymies. I found Eckhart Tolle's book The Power of Now hugely helpful for handling this symptom. Each time my mind disappeared into disordered thinking I would tell it "thank you mind but I don't need you right now" then congratulate myself for coming back to the present. It really helped.
Next Next post: Real or not Real? Dealing with Lyme Irrational Thoughts.
What is MCS? Or Toxic Black Mold? Or Lyme? And what does it matter? Well, when it affects you or your family member, it sure does matter to you. But then you find that there is a severe lack of understanding or places to to get information on what you should do. I am no expert, by far, after all I am only fifteen! However, I have experienced these personally, and have sure learned a lot that I hope to share with you! Especially if you are a kid or teenager going through it.

Pedro de Peralta e Ezpeleta (1421-1492) foi um nobre navarro.

Primeiro conde de Santisteban de Lerín, barão de Marcilla, senhor de Peralta, Funes, Cárcar, Andosilla, Marcilla, Falces, Undiano, Azagra e Caparroso.

Também conhecido como "Mosén Pierres de Peralta, o jovem". Nobre e político militar navarro, foi líder dos agramonteses e Condestável de Navarra durante a Guerra civil de Navarra.

Antecedentes
Era filho de dom Pedro Martínez de Peralta e Ruiz de Azagra (também conhecido como Mosén Pierres de Peralta "o velho") e de dona Joana de Ezpeleta e Garro, filha do barão de Ezpeleta da família dos senhores de Ezpeleta e Gallipienzo e irmã de mosén Beltrão de Ezpeleta, primeiro visconde de Val de Erro.

Casou-se duas vezes; na primeira núpcias e ainda sendo novo, em 27 de dezembro de 1440 no Palácio Real de Olite com dona Ana de Brabante filha ilegítima de dom Antônio de Borgonha, logo conhecido como Antônio de Brabante, duque de Brabante, Lotário e Limburgo, conde de Rethel e irmão de João I da Borgonha o João Sem Medo, descendente direto de Hugo Capeto e por ende, de Carlos Magno. Na segunda núpcias casou com dona Isabel de Foix e de Albret, da família real Navarra.

Manteve estreitas e importantes relações com os reis católicos e com a casa de Aragão, recebendo poderes da parte deles através de seu amigo e cunhado Alfonso Carrillo de Acuña (arcebispo de Toledo) para acertar o casamento de Isabel I de Castela e Fernando II de Aragão.

Fernando o católico concedera em 1513 ao neto deste Alonso Carrillo de Peralta, o Marquesado de Falces consolidando seu poderio sobre toda a comarca. A família residiu por cinco séculos no Castelo palácio de Marcilla, desde a construção deste por seu pai Pierres Velho.

Até 1936 manteve-se em poder dos marqueses de Falces no Castelo de Marcilla, a espada Tizona de Cid, a qual foi entregue pelos reis católicos a dom Pedro de Peralta e Ezpeleta em agradecimento a seus serviços prestados a causa de seu matrimônio.

Descendência
De seu primeiro casamento teve três filhos, Pedro (também conhecido como Mosén Pierres "menor") que morreu sem descendência, Joana que se casou com Troilo Carrillo (Conde de Agosta em Sicília) filho de arcebispo de Toledo e Isabel que se casou com dom João Henriques de La Carra e Navarra, senhor de Ablitas.

De seu segundo casamento nasceu dona Ana de Peralta e Foix, que se casou com seu primo Jaime de Foix Infante de Navarra, filho de Gastão IV de Foix e a rainha Leonor de Navarra.

Seu neto dom Alonso Carrillo de Peralta, o qual veio a ser o primeiro Marquês de Falces, III conde de Santisteban de Lerín, duas vezes Grande Condestável de Navarra, Grande Mariscal, barão de Marcilla, senhor de Peralta, Falces, etc.; teve grande importância em Navarra do século XVI, pois o mesmo imperador Carlos V escreveu-lhe a Marcilla em 5 de março de 1520 desde Valladolid, dando-lhe conta de que se ia coroar em Aquisgrán como imperador.

Dom Alonso casou-se com dona Ana de Velasco e Padilla, filha de dom Luís de Velasco e Manrique de Lara, senhor de Belorado e Val de San Vicente, neta de dom Pedro Fernández de Velasco, I conde de Haro e Condestável de Castela. Seu primo-irmão dom Íñigo Fernández de Velasco IV conde de Haro e Condestável de Castela foi o II Duque de Frías, um dos 25 Grandes da Espanha de Imemorial instituídos por Carlos V após sua coroação em Aquisgrán.

Atestou em 1533  a vontade de ser enterrado junto com sua mulher, Ana de Velasco. Estes tiveram três filhos, Antônio, Pedro e Luís. Da linhagem deste último derivaram os Peralta fundadores de mayorazgo em Medina del Campo, cujo descendente dom João Ruiz de Peralta e Velasco emigrou às Índias, onde continua a linhagem desta família no Reino do Chile, segundo consta em testamento deixado no real Hospital de Santiago com data de 1640.

Armas
Escudo heráldico: de gules o grifo de ouro, alado e armado de azul, a bordura cosida de gules, os oito sotueres rebaixados de ouro. Algumas agregam as cadenas do Reino de Navarra, como se veem à esquerda do escudo.

The eagle-eyed Arnold Akien sent me a link to this story about Indian IT workers with valid H1-B and L-1 visas being denied entry by the CBP. In theory such visas only entitle you to work for a single employer in the USA, but if you are a consultant you will inevitably work for clients on behalf of your employer. That's the way consultancy works. The CBP appears to have got it into its head that this is a violation of the terms of the visas, and once again are denying entry to legitimate visa holders.
The sad thing is that a lot of this work can probably be done remotely, so in attempting to defend US jobs the CBP is probably only sending them offshore, at a significant cost to the US economy.

H-1Bs are a very, very touchy issue right now in the computer world. Half the US IT industry is convinced they are only used to bring in people to do programming at Third World prices, or to train people who will be sent back overseas and used to outsource work. Until the recession, there were yearly stories about how fast the H-1Bs were used up, followed by stories about tech CEOs lobbying Congress to raise the H-1B cap because they couldn't find qualified people, countered by other stories about qualified programmers unable to find work, growing comment threads with much bile about the general IT industry toward paying for training.
CBP would not seem to be the ideal point at which to investigate possible misuse of H-1Bs, though.
It used to be that holders of Commonwealth Working Holiday visas in the UK were NOT allowed to work in their 'chosen profession' in the UK (along with other restrictions like could only work for 12 months of the 24 months allowed total). So a highly-sought-after programmer had their job listed as 'Data Entry', or teachers worked retail. This aspect has been fixed now.
We used to have similar issues with L1B visas where we had to brief each arriving engineer with the correct answers to questions. We'd also do the same with any coming for "meetings" under the Visa Waiver system – especially if they were coming for extended on system training.
This is where point of entry becomes important. For some reason I've only ever had grief at SFO whereas SeaTac have always been pretty straight forward… except, interestingly, to our UK MD who had committed the heinous crime of handing back a Green Card and having been born in Egypt.


Michael Keane believes Burnley keep improving as they prepare for this weekend's trip to Queens Park Rangers.
Having faced a challenging start to the Premier League season, the Clarets are heading to the capital on a four-match unbeaten run.
And Keane, who started the last two fixtures against Aston Villa and Newcastle United, insists the team are currently reaping benefits of consistent performances that hadn't previously brought the points they had merited.
He said: "I think the team's belief has started to grow even more with every game and the performances keep improving.
"We've learnt a few lessons from the games early on in the season and got a few good results recently.
"We're now going to QPR and we know it's going to be a tough game, but one that we'll approach as we've approached every other game.
"We'll obviously analyse what they're like and go to the game with more confidence after three or four good results in a row now.
Due to the form of Jason Shackell and Michael Duff at the heart of defence, Keane, who joined the Clarets on loan from Manchester United on deadline day, has had to be patient for his first Premier League starts.
But the England U21 international says he was never in any doubt that opportunities would come if he applied himself well.
He added: "I think it's been a bit of a mixed ride for me. There's been a bit of frustration with not getting games at the start, but I've really enjoyed it recently.
"I expected to wait and I knew I had to be patient. The lads were doing really well when I wasn't playing and I knew I wasn't going to go straight into the team.
"But I also knew that eventually my chance would come and that I had to be ready for it. That's why I was training hard.
"As a footballer, you just want to play games, so once you start playing and getting good results, you enjoy your football even more and that's what I'm doing now.
"It was a big step for me to make my first Premier League start and I thought I'd done all right, but there's still place for improvement for me as I'm new to the Premier League.

Tuppers' Hop Pocket Ale - It's Here!
We've been following the story of the eminent return of Tuppers' Hop Pocket Ale since late 2008. Well, that long-awaited day has finally arrived. The beer officially (re)debuted at the Hard Times Cafe in Bethesda last week. Greg Kitsock writes in The Washington Post about the event.
Last Tuesday night, Bob and his wife, Ellie, senior production editor for the American Society for Microbiology, were glad-handing customers at the Hard Times Cafe in Bethesda (their home town) and handing out logo glassware for the bar staff to fill with their eponymous Tuppers' Hop Pocket Ale.
The rollout marked the beer's first appearance in more than two years. The previous batch, notes Bob, rolled off the bottling line of the Old Dominion Brewing Co. on Nov. 30, 2007. Earlier that year, the Ashburn brewery had changed hands, and the new ownership balked at brewing the Tuppers' beer because it was time-consuming and expensive.
The Tuppers developed a near cult following for their beers in this region. Fans have been waiting for 2 years to be able to drink Hop Pocket Ale once again. I had a sample at the Northern Virginia BrewFest and it was every bit as good as I remember.
The production at St. George Brewing won't match the capacity previously brewed at Old Dominion Brewing Company, so it may be hard to find for awhile, especially as fans eagerly snatch up early stock. Keep an eye on the Tuppers' news site for updates on retailers and pubs where Hop Pocket Ale is available. Hopefully, I'll be able to do a full review on The Musings soon.

Bronxville Elementary School Fourth-Graders Take On The Catapult Challenge
Jason Bisnoff

BRONXVILLE, N.Y. -- Bronxville Elementary School fourth-graders recently had the opportunity to collaborate, innovate, make discoveries and create their own catapults during a unit study on energy.
The students designed catapults out of a ruler, masking tape, rubber bands and a plastic spoon. They used a cotton ball as a projectile, which they placed at the tip of the plastic spoon, to test their inventions.
"The experiment had many layers and embedded skills," fourth-grade teacher Susan Monaco said. "Primarily, I wanted the students to work together as a team to solve a problem and apply what they know about potential and kinetic energy to the transfer of energy in the catapult. Simply saying that potential energy is stored energy and kinetic energy is motion energy doesn't have much meaning to the students until they have the opportunity to experience the energy transfer in a meaningful, fun way."
Monaco said her students were tasked with identifying variables that they could use in the experiment to achieve different results. They collaborated in small groups to test each variable, and to discover which design was most accurate and launched the cotton ball the furthest. Some students added an extra rubber band to the design or used a heavier projectile.
"They learned that the heavier projectiles and using more rubber bands caused the projectile to travel the longest distance," Monaco said. "They were very engaged and excited about this project."
Before conducting the catapult challenge, the fourth-graders learned about potential and kinetic energy using metal balls and ramps. As young scientists and engineers, they observed and compared how the different-sized metal balls behaved on ramps. They discovered that objects that have more mass and are at a higher position have more potential energy.
"In addition to teaching science, the catapult challenge encouraged students to creatively generate ideas, collaborate, critically evaluate shared ideas, problem- solve, and generate, test and analyze data," Monaco said.

Is it OK to blame ultra-orthodox Jews?
A vaccination shot for measles and mumps is prepared. Photo by Airman 1st Class Matthew Lotz/U.S. Air Force/Creative Commons
Jeffrey Salkin
Question: what prominent Jewish media outlet, with a proud history, could use a new headline writer?
Answer: The Forward.
A recent article in the Forward describes an outbreak of measles in the Hasidic community.
Why is this happening? Because many of them refuse to vaccinate their children. This, despite rather stringent appeals from Orthodox leaders and educators. Some yeshivot will not accept children who have not been vaccinated.
This is yet another manifestation of anti-vaccination propaganda that has been floating around that community, and other communities, for quite some time. (For decades, my family took a kind of pseudo-pride in imagining that Jonas Salk was somehow related to us).
I vociferously disagree with the anti-vaccination people. I am fervently in favor of vaccination of children.
So, what is it about this article that troubles me?
Only the headline.
"The Ultra-Orthodox Keep Causing Measles Outbreaks. Why Aren't They Vaccinating?"
See anything wrong here?
First, those measles outbreaks seem to be confined to their own community — not that this make it any better.
But, the ill-informed and/or the Jew hater is likely to read that headline, and come away with the impression that the Jews are responsible for starting a plague.
Sound familiar? It should. In 1348 to 1351, Jew haters accused the Jews of causing the Black Death in Europe, by poisoning the wells. That accusation was a classic example of anti-semitism, and it lead to the massacres of entire Jewish communities.
Second, and even worse: the use of one, small word in that headline.
The Ultra-Orthodox.
Not: some ultra-Orthodox.
I respect the Forward, and have done so for several decades. My father once found a copy of the Forward in our bathroom, and he exited, waving it at me: "Why are you reading a Communist newspaper?" My father knew the history of the Forward very well — that it had started as a socialist, Yiddish newspaper. The Forward has published many of my articles.
But, something is very wrong here.
It's that little word "the." It is the implication that the ultra-Orthodox, as a body, are spreading measles.
This is simply wrong.
First, it is not true.
Second, it is profoundly bigoted — and frankly, I cannot understand how the Forward could publish such a, well, libel.
I will not publish here what some of the parallels would be. Just think about other groups on the margins of society. Come up with a social problem. Blame that group for the social problem.
See what it feels like.
There is a word for this.
The word is bigotry. And it should be the last thing that we would expect from a Jewish newspaper. Or, any newspaper.
Finally, let me say this as a non-Orthodox Jew.
I am tired of the sharp divisions in the Jewish community. In many cases, those divisions have emerged because of our tendency to be like many other Americans — to generalize and to demonize those with whom we disagree.
It's all about "the."
The Reform Jews. The leftists. The Orthodox. The ultra-Orthodox. The Israelis. The settlers.
In each case, those "the" statements mask whopping over generalizations — and yes, even bigotry.
The Forward should have known better.
An apology is quite in order.
Tagsanti-vaccination Jewish Daily Forward ultra-Orthodox ultra-Orthodox Jews vaccination vaccination objections
Rabbi Jeffrey K. Salkin is the spiritual leader of Temple Solel in Hollywood, Fla., and the author of numerous books on Jewish spirituality and ethics, published by Jewish Lights Publishing and Jewish Publication Society.
Susan Humphreys says:
It's amazing isn't it how much meaning resides in three little letters! We all do it use "the", instead of "some" or "many" or "a few". It is good to be reminded that there really aren't any monolithic groups, we are a multiplicity of ideas and beliefs.
That aside IT is concerning that there are "some" groups that refuse vaccinations. To imply that they ONLY in this case are infecting their own is a problem. Do any of them ever use public transportation to leave their immediate neighborhood? Do any of them go to a Doctor outside their neighborhood? I am of an age when there was no measles vaccine and when the vaccine became available was advised NOT to get it because of my age. I also never had measles as a child. So I for one as are "many" are more vulnerable to any exposure.
They, the unvaccinated children, are a danger to all of us.
Yes, the headline should have omitted the definite article "the". However, the piece itself made some good points. It seems to me that you have brought more attention to this headline than it deserves. It also seems to me that if you were actually interested in effecting change, a letter to the editor of the Forward, or a phone call to them, or even a post on their site would have been more productive than this piece.
I believe that those who want to attack Jews for any reason, with any types of hateful diatribe are not going to read the Forward to find fodder for their attacks. I believe that anti-Semitism is based in hate, and that those who choose to spew hate are going to do so, regardless of what appears or does not appear on the pages of the Forward.
Howard Kay says:
Part of the problem –? maybe a good deal of it?–is the intelligence of journalists. As a general principle, journalists are not the smartest, most analytical, most thoughtful of people. This is the cause of lots of problems in all media.
I agree about the use of the word "the".
However, part of this isn't good public health. People who don't vaccinate are endangering all of us. Herd Immunity protects everyone.
I'm wondering if there is a correlation between religious conservatism and anti-vax ideology.
floydlee says:
In other words, at the end of the day, you ultimately agree with the headline writer that Rabbi Salkin opposes.
Spuddie says:
The anti-vaccination position is dangerously stupid in all respects. There is no rational arguments for it at all.
And yet you welcome hundreds of thousands of unvaccinated to cross into the United States annually. Gosh, I miss Obama's first term when he sounded like Trump on illegal immigration:
https://youtu.be/5bKTv57OEJE
Your ears were burning when I used the words "irrational" and "stupid"?
There is a difference between being unvaccinated because they could not and those whose parents choose not to when they have the opportunity. (Still not clicking the Youtube.)
BTW you are full of crap here, yet again. Refugees get vaccinated when they are processed when possible.
https://vaxopedia.org/2017/02/22/are-immigrants-and-refugees-spreading-disease-in-the-united-states/
Of these six diseases, three – measles, mumps, and whooping cough – are vaccine-preventable and have very little to do with immigrants or refugees. Often, they have to do with unvaccinated United States citizens traveling out of the country, getting sick, and coming home to start an outbreak.
https://sma.org/illegal-immigration-and-the-threat-of-infectious-disease/
But the CDC currently believes that the children arriving at US borders "pose little risk of spreading infectious diseases to the general public." The CDC also confirms that vaccinations are provided to all children who do not have valid documentation. All children are initially screened for visible and obvious health issues (for example, lice, rashes, diarrhea, and cough) when they first arrive at Customs and Border Protection facilities.
BTW Donald Trump hires illegal aliens in his businesses. And you don't care.
https://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/immigration-reform/trump-s-new-jersey-golf-club-employs-undocumented-immigrants-women-n945056
(I use real news source links, not edited youtube ones)
Infectious diseases like the Ebola virus get spread by people who arrive by plane, and don't realize they are in the early infectious stage of the disease and it is spread to all on the plane. Infectious disease issues is one reason we need Universal Health Care. Border Walls won't address the problem.
"Refugees get vaccinated when they are processed when possible."
Who vaccinates illegals who enter illegally without detection?
The Easter Bunny Nurse?
No, that would be floydlee's words, not MY words. I wrote five sentences, the first of which was, "I agree about the use of the word "the "."
But since you seem desperate, here ya go.
As various individuals, and sometimes groups, And sometimes individuals who organize into groups, Have decided that 200 years of successful science can be ignored because they wish to, that puts everyone in danger.
"Infectious disease issues is one reason we need Universal Health Care."
It's one of the reasons we need a non-porous border.
http://www.michaelpramirez.com/uploads/3/4/9/8/34985326/mrz082518-color-1-5-mb_1_orig.jpg
That appears to be an evasion.
Also vaccinations are given to people in this country regardless of documentation. Public health being more important than civil law violations.
One of the advantages of children of illegal aliens attending public schools is the requirement for vaccinations to attend.
I miss John Kerry-he was for the wall before he was against it…
Keep referencing irrelevant people in a fictional manner. Whataboutism is about all you have at this point.
So what is your defense of the anti-vax movement? I am all ears.
People can choose to do what they want to do with their bodies and that of their kids.
Pro-choice; amirite?
"and that of their kids. "
Parents get prosecuted for refusing to provide necessary medical treatment for their kids.
Parents get prosecuted for physically harming their children and endangering them.
So I guess you really don't want to take an anti-vax position. You are just being disagreeable with me for its own sake. Trolling.
I don't agree with it, but if they don't believe in it; they need to accept the consequences.
Their choice.
Universal healthcare?
How about the government own every airplane instead – that way they can control the air on the planes so the virus doesn't spread.
Do you understand how silly you sound?
That was a rather silly remark. As if the rest of the developed world doesn't already have such a system in place, in some cases for decades.
Lack of access to healthcare = creating public hazards.
No. That is rather silly. WE ALL PAY the consequences of their behavior here. They put the rest of us at risk here for their irresponsible behavior.
If they don't believe in it, nobody needs to care. Its a scientific/medical issue. Not up for debate by ignorant laypeople.
Nope. Libs answer for everything – have the government do it.
Yes – let's all be slaves to the state.
That was boneheaded.
YES, its their job.
The government has a duty to address public hazards. Its what we elect them for. To use public resources for the benefit of the public.
There is no part of your argument which makes you sound intelligent here.
Just like drug use?
Just like abortion?
Just like freedom of religion?
Just like not paying attention is school and being on the public dole for 60 years?
It's called liberty.
"they need to accept the consequences"
That is sure easy to say when it is some little kid who is getting the consequences. Didn't that guy you claim to worship say something about the importance of taking care of little kids? Evidently, that guy you claim to worships doesn't really matter in the real world.
Nope. None of those involve harm to other people or the public at large.
Bad analogy = bad argument.
Please tell me how infectious disease is like freedom of religion. I am all ears.
You are trolling badly. Your input here is completely useless garbage, You even admitted yourself that you do not support anti-vax positions.
There's a difference between universal healthcare and the "shot mobile" that travels to places in need.
It's a control thing.
If the government can't tell me what to do in regard to abortion; they can't tell me what to do in regard to vaccinations.
Yup. Just like the little baby that gets sucked out of the mother's wonb.
Nice to see that you've now dropped the indirect but clear slam against "religious conservatism" (e.g. the Ultra- Orthodox and any othergroup that is religiously or biblically conservative), that you previously indulged in.
Again, bad analogy.
The government has a duty to prevent you from being a public hazard to other people. The only person affected by abortion rights is the one making the decision.
Its pretty clear you are just goofing here.
You don't understand the basics of either here.There is no cogent argument presented.
If religious conservatives are posing a clear and obvious health hazard to the public on purpose, they deserve to be slammed.
Which is rather strange, since babies are already born and would not be in there in the first place.
Nice to see that you are once again putting words in my mouth. I asked a question, and given the topic in hand, a legitimate one, which you took as a slam against religious conservatism. I also notice you didn't answer it.
Keep trying.
Born babies are born.
Aborted babies are not.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNgwsT295G8
"The only person affected by abortion rights is the one making the decision."
Except, of course, for the abortee:
"Its called harming others for your own amusement."
Doesn't that depend on where and with whom you live and interact?
You're confusing being at risk and paying.
Two different things.
Odd, isn't it, how you're claiming "some little kid" is "getting" the consequences but Spuddie is claiming everyone is getting the consequences?
Perhaps you two should go off-line and coordinate your hysteria and then return and play the Greek chorus.
"You are trolling badly."
Is he infringing on your turf?
On the other hand considering that Judaism has no foundation (Abraham and Moses are mythical characters) should the Forward even be in business?????
It is impossible to make a border non-porous! Grow up Mark
And "grow up" too.
First, we have 11 MILLION illegals in this country.
If we had 1,000 your "point" might be tolerable.
Second, anyone even vaguely familiar borders of the former East Germany, Soviet Union, current North Korea, and a host of other countries know that borders can be defended and essentially non-porous.
In fact, there is no argument why the southern border of the United States shouldn't be secure.
Worse yet, you didn't even acknowledge what Salkin said: Orthodox leaders have been publicly telling their people to get vaccinated.
So it's rationally baseless (and more than a little bigoted, Ben) for you to suggest any kind of inherent connection between religious conservatism and ati-vax ideology.
Maybe there exists another reason for you to be opposing religious conservatism?
You WILL put words in my mouth, won't you?
I asked a question. You haven't answered it.
How about big name Hollywood liberals? Feel the same way?
Yup. No mercy is given to anti-vaxxers. Its dumb whether one is doing it for religious reasons or new age ignorance/"I read something online".
According to articles I just perused neither political side has a monopoly.

New Torah For Modern Minds
"Abraham, the Jewish patriarch, probably never existed. Nor did Moses. (prob·a·bly
Adverb:	Almost certainly; as far as one knows or can tell).
The entire Exodus story as recounted in the Bible probably never occurred. The same is true of the tumbling of the walls of Jericho. And David, far from being the fearless king who built Jerusalem into a mighty capital, was more likely a provincial leader whose reputation was later magnified to provide a rallying point for a fledgling nation.
Such startling propositions — the product of findings by archaeologists digging in Israel and its environs over the last 25 years — have gained wide acceptance among non-Orthodox rabbis. But there has been no attempt to disseminate these ideas or to discuss them with the laity — until now.
The United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism, which represents the 1.5 million Conservative Jews in the United States, has just issued a new Torah and commentary, the first for Conservatives in more than 60 years. Called "Etz Hayim" ("Tree of Life" in Hebrew), it offers an interpretation that incorporates the latest findings from archaeology, philology, anthropology and the study of ancient cultures. To the editors who worked on the book, it represents one of the boldest efforts ever to introduce into the religious mainstream a view of the Bible as a human rather than divine document.
The notion that the Bible is not literally true "is more or less settled and understood among most Conservative rabbis," observed David Wolpe, a rabbi at Sinai Temple in Los Angeles and a contributor to "Etz Hayim." But some congregants, he said, "may not like the stark airing of it." Last Passover, in a sermon to 2,200 congregants at his synagogue, Rabbi Wolpe frankly said that "virtually every modern archaeologist" agrees "that the way the Bible describes the Exodus is not the way that it happened, if it happened at all." The rabbi offered what he called a "LITANY OF DISILLUSION"' about the narrative, including contradictions, improbabilities, chronological lapses and the absence of corroborating evidence. In fact, he said, archaeologists digging in the Sinai have "found no trace of the tribes of Israel — not one shard of pottery."
Since numerous articles have stated the opposite, could you provide a good example of a "contradiction" or a direct example of something against the claims of the Bible? All I'm getting here is an Appeal to Authority.
Considering the reliability of the authority in the given context of the Conservative Jews' "New Torah for Modern Minds"/ Tree of Life/ Etz Hayim, one would have to start with the reviews in said document presented by contemporary archeologists and historians.

Bart D. Ehrman (Author)
Large numbers of atheists, humanists, and conspiracy theorists are raising one of the most pressing questions in the history of religion: "Did Jesus exist at all?" Was he invented out of whole cloth for nefarious purposes by those seeking to control the masses? Or was Jesus such a shadowy figure—far removed from any credible historical evidence—that he bears no meaningful resemblance to the person described in the Bible?

You assume that the New Torah for Modern Minds has no authority but if you peruse it, you would see that you are wrong but then again admitting to its authority puts your orthodox Judaism on the myth pile, a tough admission no doubt. But you would be in company as noted by The Great Kibosh of All Religions:
Putting the kibosh on all religion in less than ten seconds: Priceless !!!
•	As far as one knows or can tell, there was no Abraham i.e. the foundations of Judaism, Christianity and Islam are non-existent.
•	As far as one knows or can tell, there was no Moses i.e the pillars of Judaism, Christianity and Islam have no strength of purpose.
•	There was no Gabriel i.e. Islam fails as a religion. Christianity partially fails.
•	There was no Easter i.e. Christianity completely fails as a religion.
•	There was no Moroni i.e. Mormonism is nothing more than a business cult.
•	Sacred/revered cows, monkey gods, castes, reincarnations and therefore Hinduism fails as a religion.
•	Fat Buddhas here, skinny Buddhas there, reincarnated/reborn Buddhas everywhere makes for a no on Buddhism.
•	A constant cycle of reincarnation until enlightenment is reached and belief that various beings (angels?, tinkerbells? etc) exist that we, as mortals, cannot comprehend makes for a no on Sikhism.
Added details available upon written request.
A quick search will put the kibosh on any other groups calling themselves a religion.
e.g. Taoism
"The origins of Taoism are unclear. Traditionally, Lao-tzu who lived in the sixth century is regarded as its founder. Its early philosophic foundations and its later beliefs and rituals are two completely different ways of life. Today (1982) Taoism claims 31,286,000 followers.
Legend says that Lao-tzu was immaculately conceived by a shooting star; carried in his mother's womb for eighty-two years; and born a full grown wise old man. "
Any time there is a small group that isolates itself from mainstream society, there is fertile ground for misinformation can travel quickly without the normal sources from the greater society to rebuttal the bad information. The anti-vaccination stance is an issue in the Somali-American population in part for the same reasoning.
I did some quick googling and it appears that there are anti-vaxers on both ends of the political spectrum.
What does all this information derive from? Simply a lack of findings or a direct contradiction to the Scriptures?
A direct contradiction to the mostly inauthentic scriptures both old and new by using rigorous historic testing (the number of independent attestations, the time of the publications, the content as it relates to the subject and time period and any related archaeological evidence.)
Some added comments from the review of the New Torah for Modern Minds:
"When I grew up in Brooklyn, congregants were not sophisticated about anything," said Rabbi Harold Kushner, the author of "When Bad Things Happen to Good People" and a co-editor of the new book. "Today, they are very sophisticated and well read about psychology, literature and history, but they are locked in a childish version of the Bible."
"Etz Hayim," compiled by David Lieber of the University of Judaism in Los Angeles, seeks to change that. It offers the standard Hebrew text, a parallel English translation (edited by Chaim Potok, best known as the author of "The Chosen"), a page-by-page exegesis, periodic commentaries on Jewish practice and, at the end, 41 essays by prominent rabbis and scholars on topics ranging from the Torah scroll and dietary laws to ecology and eschatology.
These essays, perused during uninspired sermons or Torah readings at Sabbath services, will no doubt surprise many congregants. For instance, an essay on Ancient Near Eastern Mythology," by Robert Wexler, president of the University of Judaism in Los Angeles, states that on the basis of modern scholarship, it seems unlikely that the story of Genesis originated in Palestine. More likely, Mr. Wexler says, it arose in Mesopotamia, the influence of which is most apparent in the story of the Flood, which probably grew out of the periodic overflowing of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. The story of Noah, Mr. Wexler adds, was probably borrowed from the Mesopotamian epic Gilgamesh.
Equally striking for many readers will be the essay "Biblical Archaeology," by Lee I. Levine, a professor at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. "There is no reference in Egyptian sources to Israel's sojourn in that country," he writes, "and the evidence that does exist is negligible and indirect." The few indirect pieces of evidence, like the use of Egyptian names, he adds, "are far from adequate to corroborate the historicity of the biblical account."
Similarly ambiguous, Mr. Levine writes, is the evidence of the conquest and settlement of Canaan, the ancient name for the area including Israel. Excavations showing that Jericho was unwalled and uninhabited, he says, "clearly seem to contradict the violent and complete conquest portrayed in the Book of Joshua." What's more, he says, there is an "almost total absence of archaeological evidence" backing up the Bible's grand descriptions of the Jerusalem of David and Solomon. "
Herrnhut says:
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shine in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not." (John chapter 1:1-5)
Apparently there was no "the" in "In the beginning" in the Greek text, as the original text is ἐν (en). Thank you Father and Holy Spirit for my new level of understanding of your Son!
Both. Might want to review modern rigorous historic testing of the NT. You will have to read the studies of contemporary historians and NT scholars to see how they decide the authenticity of historical events and passages. Rigorous conclusions rely on the number of independent attestations, the time of the publications, the content as it relates to the subject and time period, and any related archeological evidence. Professors JD Crossan and G. Ludemann's studies are top notch in this regard.
See below for some added commentary about the New Torah for Modern Minds:

The reaction to the rabbi's talk ranged from admiration at his courage to dismay at his timing to anger at his audacity. Reported in Jewish publications around the world, the sermon brought him a flood of letters accusing him of undermining the most fundamental teachings of Judaism. But he also received many messages of support. "I can't tell you how many rabbis called me, e-mailed me and wrote me, saying, 'God bless you for saying what we all believe,' " Rabbi Wolpe said. He attributes the "explosion" set off by his sermon to "the reluctance of rabbis to say what they really believe."
Before the introduction of "Etz Hayim," the Conservative movement relied on the Torah commentary of Joseph Hertz, the chief rabbi of the British Commonwealth. By 1936, when it was issued, the Hebrew Bible had come under intense scrutiny from scholars like Julius Wellhausen of Germany, who raised many questions about the text's authorship and accuracy. Hertz, working in an era of rampant anti-Semitism and of Christian efforts to demonstrate the inferiority of the "Old" Testament to the "New," dismissed all doubts about the integrity of the text.
Maintaining that no people would have invented for themselves so "disgraceful" a past as that of being slaves in a foreign land, he wrote that "of all Oriental chronicles, it is only the Biblical annals that deserve the name of history."
"The Hertz approach had little competition until 1981, when the Union of American Hebrew Congregations, the official arm of Reform Judaism, published its own Torah commentary. Edited by Rabbi Gunther Plaut, it took note of the growing body of archaeological and textual evidence that called the accuracy of the biblical account into question. The "tales" of Genesis, it flatly stated, were a mix of "myth, legend, distant memory and search for origins, bound together by the strands of a central theological concept." But Exodus, it insisted, belonged in "the realm of history." While there are scholars who consider the Exodus story to be "folk tales," the commentary observed, "this is a minority view."
Twenty years later, the weight of scholarly evidence questioning the Exodus narrative had become so great that the minority view had become the majority one.
Not among Orthodox Jews, however. They continue to regard the Torah as the divine and immutable word of God. Their most widely used Torah commentary, known as the Stone Edition (1993), declares in its introduction "that every letter and word of the Torah was given to Moses by God."
I will certainly do a "historic rigorous testing" upon your recommendation. For the past few months, I have been looking at the Greek translation of the entire New Testament, but with recent archaeological information at my disposal, I haven't really found a direct contradiction to the New Testament, to any extent. Most of what I've come across are more than just witness accounts. Some things, like the finding of the city of Nazareth, makes the New Testament, much more credible since it makes claims that other religious texts don't make.
Certainly, with so many historic claims the Bible makes, it should be simple to disprove if it is all nonsense. However, I have NOT found this to be the case, nor do I expect it to be.
That's a false assumption, millions of Latin Americans, like me, have been vaccinated against childhood diseases. Almost all LA countries have vaccination programs.
No, it's what you just wrote that sounds silly.
So the US should shoot everyone who attempts to cross the border? That was/is the first line of deterrence in East Germany, Soviet Union, current North Korea, etc.
It's interesting that all of your examples are of walls built to keep their own citizens from leaving!
No, they should encounter a barrier which is sufficiently impenetrable that someone will pick them up.
In each of the examples it kept anyone from moving across the border from either side, which is one of the reasons the Soviet Union and East Germany did NOT have illegal drug problems.
11 million illegal immigrants indicates a major problem, does it not?
I think vaccinations are closer to serious public contagious disease, than abortion.
Your neighbor having an abortion doesn't affect you or your life, especially if your are unaware it occurred. Your neighbor having untreated ebola or zika can very much affect you and your life, which is why folks with those diseases, among others, can be legally quarantined and treated by force without their consent.
Journalists aren't usually who write headlines.
That's not what the government is reporting on the border.
That's fine. Put them in a tent and quarantine them.
Their body their choice.
No it is not OK to blame Orthodox as individual people (or the Ultra-O's)…but it is fair to blame their belief system and the individuals who perpetrate this disgraceful anti-Vax nonsense.
There are still good explanations for this, and either way it's fascinating to research, regardless of what side your on. One explanation I've heard that satisfies me is that there wouldn't be much evidence of the Israelites if they wore Egyptian garb and were adapted to their culture and way of life.
Their kids are being quarantined, they can't attend school unless they are vaccinated and their parents pitch a fit.
Not in my opinion. Only a small minority of them cause any trouble.
Let them homeschool.
Every single illegal alien is here illegally.
That simple fact seems to fly right past some of the commenters.
I'm well-aware that headlines are written by individuals other than the reporter who wrote the story. Nevertheless, it seems to me that it's reasonable to call all folks directly involved in putting out the product–reporters, editors of various kinds–"journalists".
My original comment would have been more useful if I'd said something like "in my experience and observations, journalists [i.e. all those who have a role in putting out the product] are not the deepest or clearest of thinkers".
asonofSocrates says:
Have friends who work at major hospital not far removed from Border and wife (nurse) told me last night they have 8 illegal immigrants in their infectious disease unit with serious illnesses several of which are antibiotic resistent, diseases that used to be unheard of it in the US.
Not true. Absolutely not true. I've stood watch on non-porous borders. Believe me if there is a will there is a way.
Don't believe you on either count,
More hearsay and exaggerations? So your sister's boyfriend's cousin's father knows this person who…
Antibiotic resistant illnesses comes from where modern medical care exists and is done poorly. Where antibiotics are given but not fully used or over-prescribed.
Either you didn't understand the story or it is made up.
1. increased property taxes in many areas due to increased population of school children due to presence of illegal immigrants
2. federal taxes used to apprehend, medically evaluate, medically treat, house, feed, transport, and process through justice system
3. cost to citizens when identities are apprehended and used illegally by those who are here illegally.
4. loss of jobs to those who will peform the work for next to nothing
5. loss of capitol to the US economic system as billions of dollars are exported out of the system to folks back home (who aren't buying Fords from US)
6. loss of life from criminal actions of those in the country illegally. Each life means something to the family and friends of the deceased.
7. loss of property values — in my area continual influx drives down property rather than up as it leads to increased inventory of cheap property and because this is readily available drives down prices of existing homes. (A neighbor just moved (he's a realtor) from thsi market because while volume is increasing, the cost is dropping and he will make more money elsewhere.) More work = less money = don't do the work anymore
8. As documented – spread of disease, some of which has not been seen in a generation. Yes small now, but these diseases are resilient when introduced into a population.
9. increased cost to local taxes due to increased load on infrastructure. In my area roads are very crowed (with estimates of 15-20% illegals present). So in other words if they were not present traffic load and demand on public (tax supported) transportation would decrease.
10. public aid — unlike the claim that no illegal can recieve public aid it has been documented (google it) that 68% of the illegal population is recieving some form of public aid. Couple that with locals like mine where there are a number of charities working to support homeless, veterans and so forth, but a substantial portion of this support is consumed by those who are here illegally. (My pastor said he had a man from Mexico two days ago knock on his office door for money to pay to bring his wife and daughter up with the same man who helped him cross.) These are funds that could go to help citizens in need if they were not consumed in my locale by illegals.
Pretty sure the baby has a pretty bad day… and no more days.
Of course it is apparently being shoved back into the woman it came out of. Babies are born.
Yup. But, the libs will never get that information because the Clinton news network won't report it.
Same thing with shelters, hospitals and schools being overwhelmed; not to mention; the above being compromised of more illegals than actual US citizens.
And people got through those borders. You just prefer to pretend it didn't happen. The Korean border has always been porous. So was the Berlin Wall and the Great Wall of China. Where there is a will there is a way.
11 million didn't.
Your black and white analysis is not at all helpful.
Neither are your comments. They add nothing to the conversation.
They sure do.
They point out that not having perfect non-porosity to a border is no excuse to allow 11 million people to sneak in illegally.
They point out that your arguments are specious, mere cover for your underlying opposition to a southern border at all, just like Nancy Pelosi and Charles Schumer.
Now, if we only figure out why.
But public opinion is the other way, and kicking and screaming though you, Nancy, and Chuck may be, we will close the border.
Brian Geary says:
How is an apology in order for the truth? If these were devout Moslems, I doubt you'd be upset at the headline "Devout Moslems keep causing outbreaks". When illegal immigrants bring disease, are you troubled by headlines that point out those facts? Likely not. When Moslems commit terrorism, do you complain when headlines report about Islamic terror? No, of course not, I'll wager.
I agree with it, because it is FACTUAL.
The unvaccinated illegals should be sent to live with the ultra orthodox. problem solved. let them infect each other.
If, when a woman has an abortion, that abortion somehow spreads to other women and causes abortions, then you'll have a point.
Send them to san Francisco.
Plenty of needles to go around.
We could build a way around ultra orthodox enclaves – a wall that looks and operates just like the israeli wall, so nobody can say the wall is wrong – after all, the israeli wall is okay, right? Complete with checkpoints. If someone cannot show evidence of having been vaccinated, they cannot pass through the checkpoint…just like palestinians cannot pass through without proper documents. This way, the rest of us stay safe and are not terrorized by their lack of vaccinations and spreading disease.
Freedom of choice buddy.
My body my choice – amirite?
What's the matter with the headline? It states FACTS. Are facts repulsive to you? Or are they only inconvenient b/c they touch upon someone in your community? In other words, would you be complaining if the word "Moslem" were in the headline, instead? likely not.
Nah. The ultra orthodox are, besides being virulently racist and anti-Christian/Moslem/gentile, also extremely anti-gay. They hate everybody. They'd never go.
Umm….did you notice that my comments were general comments about journalists, and did not address the actions or inactions of any ethnic or religious group? And did you notice that the headline actually does not express facts, but is a question?
Perhaps you'd be more at home in some forum for folks who are not careful readers?
And your comments tell us that you are a mind reader.
Sure. But then if your diseases cretin gets someone else sick, you should be given the death penalty.

Los Andes Java
Cranberry, Lime, Caramel
Variety: Java
Origin: Atitlan, Guatemala
Producers: The Hazard Family
We're happy to have the opportunity to bring another coffee from Los Andes to the club this year - say hello to Los Andes Java! They're always experimenting with different varieties and processes at Los Andes. This year they produced 2 bags of Java, and we were lucky to snag one for the club! The Dutch brought coffee to Indonesia in the 1800s, and this particular variety from Ethiopia became somewhat synonymous with coffee on the island. In recent years, Java has sometimes been compared to Gesha in its capacity for high cup quality, while the plant itself is a bit tougher and less susceptible to things like leaf rust. For this reason, we're starting to see more Java being planted and entering the specialty coffee marketplace.
We're glad it's on the rise, because this lot of Java is scrumptious! It's got a lovely cranberry note that perfectly blends sweet and tart flavors, plus a hint of lime acidity and a round caramel-like sweetness that grounds the whole cup. Los Andes Java is a well-rounded coffee with a little something for everyone, and we're glad we could snag some, if only a single bag, to share with the club. Enjoy!

Coronavirus Global News and Updates – As Of March 31
Total Global Cases: 785,797
Total Global Deaths: 37,816
Total Global Recoveries: 165,607
Active Cases: 582,374 (552,886 in mild condition; 29,488 in critical condition)
Closed Cases: 203,423 (165,607 recovered; 37,816 deaths)
The COVID-19 pandemic is now affecting 200 countries and territories around the world, as well as 2 international conveyances – Diamond Princess Cruise Ship harbored in Yokohama, Japan, and the Holland America's MS Zaandam Cruise Ship.
The Philippines has reported 128 new COVID-19 cases, bringing the total confirmed cases to 1,546.
Wuhan, China's ground-zero for the COVID-19 outbreak, re-opens for business.
Japan to expand its entry ban to include people traveling from the U.S., South Korea, China, and most of Europe.
Doctors battling the COVID-19 outbreak in India are being infected.
United States COVID-19 death toll nears 3,000, confirmed cases exceed 160,000.
Below are some of the latest news and updates regarding the COVID-19 pandemic that has swept across the world.
Philippines. On Monday, the Philippines has reported 128 new COVID-19 cases and 7 additional deaths – this brings the total confirmed cases to 1,546 and the fatalities to 78. Recent big jumps in the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in the Philippines were attributed to the arrival of test kits and the opening of new laboratories processing samples across the country. There is an additional 920 PUIs (patients under investigation) and 6,321 PUMs (persons under monitoring).
President Rodrigo Duterte, in a late night address on Monday night, admits that the Philippines is short on both money and medical supplies. He further states that the country has been short of resources even before the COVID-19 outbreak. He adds that even the United States is having trouble addressing the pandemic. President Duterte says, "We have allotted ₱200 billion for low income households who are badly affected by this crisis. Beneficiary households will receive emergency support for their two months based on the regional minimum wage." President Duterte also said that the government is providing assistance to the agricultural industry, adding "To our farmers and fisherfolk, we have not forgotten you, and government is now employing quick response measures to help you during the crisis as well as ensure food productivity, sufficiency."
Under the "Bayanihan" law President Duterte declared a state of national emergency and gained broad powers to readjust the national budget and implement other measures to fight the COVID-19 outbreak.
China. As authorities lifted more of the anti-virus controls that kept tens of millions of people at home for about two months, Wuhan, China's ground-zero for the COVID-19 outbreak, re-opens for business. Around 70-80% of shops opened; however, many still imposed limits on how many people could enter. Shopkeepers also set up dispensers for hand sanitizer and checked customers for signs of fever. Wuhan's subway and bus services has also resumed, easing curbs that cut most access to the city of 11 million people. The train station reopened last Saturday, bringing thousands of people to what is the transportation and manufacturing hub of central China. The final restrictions preventing people from leaving Wuhan are due to end on April 8.
According to the National Health Commission, China has suffered 3,186 COVID-19 deaths, including 2,547 in Wuhan as of Sunday. The country has a total of 81,518 confirmed cases.
Japan. Japan will reportedly expand its entry ban to include people traveling from the U.S., South Korea, China, and most of Europe. This measure will apply to foreign nationals who have been to any of the listed regions within 14 days of arriving in Japan. Furthermore, Japanese citizens – regardless of where they have traveled to – and foreigners who have traveled outside the banned areas will also be asked to self-quarantine for 14 days and watch for symptoms of COVID-19. The government may also ban entry from, and travel to, some countries in south-east Africa and Asia.
India. Doctors battling the COVID-19 outbreak in India are being infected. After a patient at a hospital in Northern India tested positive for COVID-19, it wasn't long after some of the medical staff started to exhibit symptoms as well. Doctors at Nalanda Medical College in Bihar state, short of personal protective equipment, treated the patient while only wearing a standard surgical kit – plastic-coated apron, gloves, and three-ply mask. They ate in a mess hall shared by 83 doctors, all of whom are now worried that they were exposed to the virus.
As the World Health Organization (WHO) warns of a global shortage of medical equipment in the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak, India's struggling hospitals find themselves fighting an accelerating pandemic with too few doctors, health workers, personal protective equipment, ventilators, masks, beds, test kits, and other essential supplies.
United States. At least 3,166 people have died in the United States due to COVID-19 and there is a total of 164,253 confirmed cases. The total includes COVID-19cases from every state, the District of Columbia, and several U.S. territories, as well as repatriated cases. Each day sees more reports of fatalities than the previous day – there were more than 500 reports of deaths from COVID-19 on Monday, the most fatality reports in a single day in the United States.
Of the total reported fatalities, 1,218 deaths were reported in New York, the hardest-hit state with a total of 66,497 cases. NYC Health reported that 42% of confirmed cases have been in adults ages 18 to 44, and only about 17% have been in adults over the age of 65.
Spain. For the third day in a row, Spain reported over 800 daily deaths due to COVID-19 according to data released by the Spanish Health Ministry on Monday. Over the last 24 hours, 812 people have died, bringing the death toll to 7,340. There are currently 87,956 confirmed COVID-19 cases in the country. As of Friday, about 10,000 Spanish healthcare professionals have been confirmed to have COVID-19. With the increasing number of confirmed cases and deaths, Spain has tightened its lockdown, suspending non-essential activities.
Italy. Italy's death toll continues to rise, as the national doctor association reported on Monday that 63 doctors have died. The Italian Institute of Health reported that 8,358 healthcare workers are infected with COVID-19, a big jump of 595 from the previous day.
Italian health officials that the number of new COVID-19 confirmed cases fell on Sunday; however, it is not enough of a push to roll back the lockdown restrictions. In fact, they are expecting Italy to be under lockdown for another two weeks.
Germany. Germany sees low fatalities despite its high infection rate. The country has some of the world's highest infection numbers but its mortality rate is much lower than that of its neighbors. There is a total of 66,885 confirmed COVID-19 cases in Germany, but only 645 fatalities.

Christina Martin "It'll Be Alright" on Exclaim! TV (ft. Dale Murray)
By Lisa Vanderwyk
Although she still pays great reverence to her country influences, singer-songwriter Christina Martin explored pop and classic rock sounds on her fifth album, It'll Be Alright, which resulted in her most eclectic and developed record to date. The title track is a shining example of Martin's new sound, and we recorded a live rendition of the song during a session for Exclaim! TV.
Martin is joined by her husband Dale Murray (Cuff the Duke, the Guthries), who worked by her side on the new record; his crooning is gruff, but the harmonies are sweetened by Martin's honeyed vocals and the song's delicate melody. Watch the pair deliver the pretty tune in the player below.
