Cardinal Wilton Gregory Tests Positive for Covid. See How It's Reported.
The Hill reported today that "Washington archbishop whose archdiocese sued over pandemic restrictions tests positive for COVID-19."
That headline seems to suggest that Cardinal Gregory was some sort of Covid denier or skeptic. This is far from the truth.
In fact, the Hill article points out:
"This morning, as part of my regular pandemic routine, I took a rapid antigen test given by a lab-technician, and I tested positive for COVID-19," Cardinal Wilton Gregory said in a statement.
Gregory added that he was fully vaccinated and boosted and that as of Friday he was experiencing no symptoms. Not only that, Cardinal Gregory urged everyone else to get vaccinated and boosted, despite testing positive.
In December 2020, D.C.'s archdiocese sued the city over COVID-19 restrictions, alleging the measures went beyond what public safety required. Specifically, the archdiocese said that limitations on church attendance were a violation of people's First Amendment rights.
The lawsuit argued that the 50-person limit for all houses of worship was "arbitrary" and "discriminatory," especially considering some of the Catholic parishes in D.C. can accommodate hundreds of people.
"The Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception – the largest Catholic Church in the United States – could accommodate thousands of worshippers. Indeed, the Statue of Liberty would fit inside with room to spare," the lawsuit stated. "Yet under the Mayor's orders, all of these churches are subject to the same cap of 50 people."
There's no doubt that the cap of 50 people was arbitrary, especially given the size of so many churches.
But anyway, the reason I'm pointing this out is that if you are a Catholic you will never really be seen as on the side of the left. They will use you when you agree with them and turn on you when it's convenient. You are only useful as a cudgel against the faithful.
Cardinal Gregory has hardly been a conservative but when he tests positive the media clearly shows that they will turn on him and frame him as an enemy of "the science."
ProudHillbilly
Um, yeah. But Gregory is scared to death of denying the Sacrament to someone who flagrantly denies Catholic teaching. So I don't really care about what he thinks of covid or of anything around it. He's fine with encouraging sacrilege. Just not fine with limiting seats. Makes one wonder if the collection plate isn't involved.
Yeah, I know. 2 years on and I don't trust ANYBODY. And have a million conspiracy theories bouncing around in my head. I'd like my pre-covid brain back, please.

United Nations Congress was formed to bring together global experts and decision makers from around the globe to Connect, Communicate and Collaborate to explore great possibilities. United Nations Congress is one of the leading congresses in the world for business networking and knowledge sharing.
My active involvement at the Mongolia-Australia Society's activities gave me a lifetime opportunity to participate in such an esteemed conference: Internet of Things. Today, the internet has become routine in our daily lives. Personally, I cannot express in words how happy I am for all the opportunities the internet gives me, such as opportunities to collect desired information and data from an unlimited number of sources. It helps me to analyze any item, condition, opinion, decision and events from different angles and perspectives, so I could have my own belief and knowledge, based on data. The congress allowed me to learn about the most recent developments of the internet as well as advantages and disadvantages of our second world – the Digital World. I was extremely happy and it was my responsibility to share my knowledge with others and I prepared a 60 minute presentation about statistics, facts and figures, challenges, advantages and recent developments of the internet, including a small part about Great Britain and Northern Ireland. My content was broadcasted during two Saturdays, on the morning program called "Onoo Ogloo" in the section "The World and Mongolia". In the future, I am planning to write a book about world statistics compared with our country. I am looking forward to using my knowledge.
3. M.Enkhtsetseg participated at The 7th Innovative Smart Grid Technologies (ISGT Asia 2017) from December 4 – 7, 2017 in University of Auckland, New Zealand.
This conference was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Just after this conference, I was granted a scholarship to study for a PhD degree by RMIT University. Definitely, this is one of the great benefits of this conference. During the conference, I met with an executive director of Chapter 10 of the Power Engineering Society (PES) and discussed how to establish a PES chapter in Mongolia. I also met a Mongolian PhD student and I am proud of intelligent Mongolian students who are studying abroad with the goal to bring world development to our country.

The market continues to be on a roll, with indices hovering near their all-time highs. But with corporate earnings still playing truant, there are rising concerns about stiff valuations and the possibility of a market correction.
For those seeking relatively safe bets now, a large-cap fund with a sound, long-term track record seems a good choice. Generally, large-cap funds can weather market weakness better than mid and small-cap funds, while also participating well in upsides.
SBI Blue Chip, more than a decade old, is among the good choices in the large-cap category. With annualised returns of about 14 per cent over three years and 20 per cent over five years, it has beaten the benchmark S&P BSE 100 comfortably — by about 6 percentage points. The long-term winning consistency is also quite high; on a one-year daily rolling return basis, the fund has done better than the benchmark almost 85 per cent of the time in the past five years.
The track record would have been better but for the dip in performance in the past year. SBI Blue Chip's 16 per cent return last year is lower than the benchmark's 17 per cent return and is also lesser than the category average.
This is due to the fund being underweight on financial and metal stocks which have had a good run, and overweight on the beleaguered pharma sector.
The fund has, in recent times, added to exposure in financials and metals while trimming exposure to pharma stocks; this should aid performance. Despite the short-term underperformance, SBI Blue Chip's robust record places it in the top quartile among peers in the long term, ahead of peers such as DSP BlackRock Focus 25 and ICICI Prudential Focused Bluechip.
The fund invests largely (about 80 per cent of the corpus) in large-cap stocks and also takes mid-cap exposure of up to 20 per cent of the portfolio to give a kicker to returns.
Over the past year and half, though, the mid-cap exposure has been pared considerably — from about 18 per cent of the corpus in December 2015 to about 11 per cent in December 2016 and to just about 7 per cent in August 2017. This would also have dragged performance in the short term. But playing it safe by shifting more to large-caps could work to the fund's advantage at this juncture with the market seemingly overvalued.
Exposure to cash and equivalents has also been upped in recent months to about 11 per cent of the corpus in August 2017 from about 8 per cent since April.
SBI Blue Chip follows a growth investing approach but mitigates risk by holding a large portfolio of more than 50 stocks. The largest exposure is to HDFC Bank (about 8 per cent of the corpus) with most of the other stocks under 3 per cent of the portfolio.
Multi-baggers such as Motherson Sumi and Eicher Motors have boosted the fund's long-term returns. Exposure to banks, the fund's largest sector holding, has been increased in the past year, while there has been a sharp cut in exposure to the weak software sector.


Some advice needed. With the ongoing wandering issue with my 1937 series one 4/4 I am considering changing the track rod ends to the later ball end type as used on the Plus 4 along with the tubular track rod. However, the Plus 4 ball ends are rather chunky and I am worried that with the tapered shaft there isn't a lot of meat left where it is bolted on to the end of the steering arm from the hub. Has anyone used ball ends from another car with a tubular track rod that a bit smaller for this conversion? If so, details please? Or is using Plus 4 track rod ends okay?
Have any owners out there of Series One 4/4s upgraded to a Plus 4 tubular track rod and ends? I thought this was a relatively common thing to do but maybe not.

Saudi Prince Mohammed bin Salman has been touring the West for the Last 3 weeks on a mission to rebrand his kingdom's image and gain support in containing Iran. He is currently in France but started his tour in the United States where he visited former Presidents George H.W. Bush and George W Bush in Texas.
According to bin Salman George W. Bush gave him a bottle of barbecue sauce and told him "If you don't like the French food you can use the barbecue sauce." Going on to say "So, we'll see if I use it or not." If only barbecue and its array of sauces were a laughing matter to Americans. The Prince doesn't know it but he is playing with fire.
Clearly, the Prince has forgotten the freedom fry scandal in the early years of the George W. Bush's presidency. This breach of trust by bin Salman sets the table for the French to insult barbecue sauce and that could tear apart a 242-year-old alliance. Barbecue sauce could very well destroy NATO and send the global order tumbling into oblivion.
Why didn't he just give him a tie or a painting of the Prince? Redstate will follow up with updates as this diplomatic crisis progresses.

Last November we first heard about MagLOCK pedals – clipless mountain bike pedals that use magnets instead of springs to keep the rider's feet attached, and that can also be used as regular platform pedals. The product fell short of its crowdfunding goal, perhaps because the pedals were kind of clunky, but MagLOCK designer Dave Williams is now back on Kickstarter with a sleeker, lighter and less expensive version.
Unlike their predecessors, the new pedals have a low-profile cutaway design, with a body made from anodized aluminum. They still contain rare earth magnets that engage a steel cleat on the bottom of the rider's cycling shoe, although those magnets are now cylindrical.
As before, the amount of attraction between pedal and cleat – and thus the degree of shoe retention on the pedal – can be adjusted by adding or removing magnets via a stainless steel cover (the rider can release their foot simply by pronating it sideways). A maximum attractive force of 35 lb (16 kg) is possible, which is less than the original model's 50 lb (23 kg), although Williams claims that it's still sufficient to keep one's feet in place even on rough terrain.
The weight of the system is now down from 1,540 grams to 974 g per pair of MagLOCK pedals. By contrast, a pair of Shimano M545 pedals (which combine a platform and an SPD retention mechanism) weigh in at 567 g. According to Dave, however, MagLOCKs allow for more foot-float than SPDs, are easier to engage, and should be less intimidating to riders who are new to foot retention systems.
And yes, they're cheaper than the old version. Whereas pledge levels for the originals started at US$175, you can currently get a pair of the new ones for $120 – assuming they reach production.

Just after 9 a.m., a report came in from Old Oasis Road and Oasis Road north of Redding about water coming halfway up the side of a vehicle's door.
The latest storm is expected to dump up to an inch of rain in the Redding area, according to the National Weather Service in Sacramento.
A high wind advisory is in effect until midnight Thursday.

The Middle Kingdom topped the world in filings for oil and gas inventions last year, but that hasn't translated into surging production. Many of the applications cover dodgy ideas fueled by government incentives. It will take more than paperwork to speed the flow of crude.
Inventors filed a total of 12,062 oil and gas patent applications in 2013, one-third more than in 2012 and three times the number 10 years ago, according to Thomson Reuters.
China accounts for about 60 percent of oil and gas patent applications, with 7,243 filed last year, the Thomson Reuters data showed.
U.S. patent applications were up 44 percent from a decade ago, while filings in Britain were down by half.


Back in April after the release of A TEMPTATION OF ANGELS, I promised you guys monthly giveaways. The fact that I haven't done one until now is solely due to a writing schedule that quickly turned insane. You may have noticed over the past couple of months that my posting — and even my regular features — have been sporadic.
I'm sorry! Lately, it's been all I can do to keep my head above water.
But I'm finally seeing a light at the end of the tunnel, and to celebrate, I'm giving away not one but two AH-mazing Summer Prize packs!
Each of this prize packs contain a summer tote, a $10 iTunes gift card, lip balm, a nail care kit, nail polish, Bath & Body Works body spray, summer candle, and a Hope notebook for all your secret summer thoughts.
One of the prize packs contains the first four books of one of the Fever series by Karen Marie Moning (one of my new favorites!). The other contains four books that I ADORED in my early twenties because they made me want to travel the world, do amazing things, and fall in love in exotic place; Mistral's Daughter, Princess Daisy, and Scruples by Judith Krantz and Wanderlust by Danielle Steele (such a great ravel book!).
In addition, I'll give each winner a free download of any one of the three Prophecy of the Sisters novellas; Whisper of Souls, Mistress of Souls, or Rise of Souls.
Contest runs now through Saturday, June 30th at Midnight EST. Two winners will be chosen at random. Giveaway open to US/Canadian readers.
Oh great give away Michelle! I am traveling this summer to serve in Africa so I am not sure how much I will get read until August, but I like a great fiction in the summer time. Any book that just lets you get lost and have fun and not THINK but FEEL is a great one for summer. I do enough heavy reading during the school year!
Agreed! And have an AMAZING time in Africa. Can't wait to see pics and hear all about it!
I've been so behind on reading lately because of finals, but I am looking forward to reading Sapphire Blue by Kerstin Geir!
I usually like some light chick lit during the summertime. Sophia Kinsella is one of my faves. Though this year is different since I am in the process of reading What to Expect the first Year, and we may be investing in a book that will help our girl sleep through the night.
Hmmm, summer reads? It never occurred to me that reading could be seasonal! (Maybe because I'm always reading?) So, I'll go with my favorite thing I've read this summer so far, which would be Shadow and Bone, by Leigh Bardugo!
I haven't, but I think I'll wait! I want to everything to be new when I get the book. Lol!
Summertime is when I like to play catch up with some of my TBR pile. I am going to start Marie Lu's Legend tonight because it has been sitting on my nook since November!
Let us know how that is, Susan! I've been wanting to read it!
Loved it! I stayed up one night just to finish it!
My fav summer read has been safe haven by Nicholas sparks. Also via iPad kindle app I'm loving christopher smith the bullied series.
Haven't read that one, Crystal!
Ha! Sometimes it's necessary, Britney!
My favorite summer read? How can I choose just one? I'm reading A Million Suns right now. It will be nice to think of being in outer space on those hot days.
I'm off to Facebook to share!
I've been dying to read that series, Theresa!
Well, I would have to say that my favorite summer read so far has been Michael Vey: Prisoner of Cell Block 25 by Richard Paul Evans. It's the first in what is to be a series of books with the next being released later this summer. I was actually surprised that I enjoyed it as much as I did, being that it's more of a "Young Adult/Science Fiction" sort of thing, and not at all what I typically find myself reading (which is 99.9% non-fiction).
You're a good dad, Robert!
I haven't read the book, but I really enjoyed the movie!
You'd enjoy the book! The ending is different, but it's still really good!
I agree with Sarah Dowlin any book you can get lost in makes a great summer read. Adventures are always good or books about summer in the summer. Right now I'm reading Endure by the lovely Carrie Jones!
To tell the truth, I'd read any type of book. As long as it's good and holds my attention. But I usually lean towards chick-lit, or books like Hereafter, or like Pretty Little Liars… I'm looking forwards to reading Prophecy of The Sisters ! My friend Anna just lent me your latest book and I just finished that a few minutes ago. I'm excited for the new books my favourite authors have been coming out with, such as the final in the triology to Matched.
Hope you enjoy Prophecy, Stephanie!
I'm a big fan of your books. So my summer reads are any thing by Meg Cabot, Lauren oliver,your books and a paperback of Bridge to Terabithia. And I love to have A note book and a penci, for doodling and writing.
Any book that i can fall in love with from the first page is my favorite. Reading Her heart for the asking right now.
I am not sure how much reading I'm going to get done this summer but I might try getting to the outdoor pool on the weekends. I can't really say what my fave summer read is because Im always reading different things but I guess my favourite would be to take a good historical fiction read. I can remember the good days of not having anything at all to do in the summer so I would sit outside in the backyard and I remember reading The Secret Diary Of Anne Boleyn. That was a great joy.
Isn't reading in the summer amazing?!
My favorite summer read so far has to be A Temptation of Angels, haven't finished yet but low it so far! It's too bad I have to work all summer, I'm not a fast reader anyway, and work makes it difficult for me to get through books very fast. Also I can't wait to read city of lost souls! And your three Novelas ( which I seriously wish were in book form). I'm also really excited to start reading matched, and hunger Games was very good :D.
Aw, I'm so glad you're enjoying it, hon! I know how it is. I'm moving through my TBR pile rather slowly myself right now.
I hear you, Jennifer! Hope you get the chance to read Prophecy of the Sisters!
My favorite summer reads are all the books from the Night Huntress series. Bones provides ample distraction while sun bathing on the beach!
I'll have to look them up!
That was one of my faves, too!
my favorite summer read is the harry potter series. i love going back and reading my favorite parts.
Thanks for the great giveaway! My favorite summer read is Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. It came out the day before a beach trip, and now I have to re-read it every time I go to the beach.
I love summer for exploring fiction that gets lost during the school year. This summers favourites, The Magician (Lev Grossman) and catching up on Maureen Johnson's books!
I really loved Delirium by Lauren Oliver… It was such a good book and have Pandemonium to read next!
My favorite summer read is "Summer Sisters," by Judy Blume. It's a great story of two girls coming of age over the course of decades of summer vacations from childhood through adulthood.
My favorite beach reads would have to be some form of chick-lit: probably Anna & The French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins! Thanks for the giveaway!
Michelle this has to be one of the coolest giveaways ever. I've read a lot of books so far this summer but I have been looking for something fun to read but still in my genre of books and I so totally found it. It's Drink,Slay,Love by Sarah Beth Durst. Vampires & unicorns , totally insane but soooo much fun. It's a great read!

HANSARD 1803–2005 → 1980s → 1980 → November 1980 → 11 November 1980 → Lords Sitting
CHARITIES (LORD HASTINGS HOSPITAL TRUST) ORDER 1980
HL Deb 11 November 1980 vol 414 cc1291-3 1291
§ 4.25 p.m.
§ Lord SANDYS
My Lords, on behalf of my noble friend Lord Belstead, I beg to move that the Draft Charities (Lord Hastings Hospital Trust) Order 1980 be approved. This order brings into effect a scheme of the Charity Commissioners for the regulation of the charity 1292 known as the Lord Hastings Hospital Trust. The charity was incorporated by Lord Hastings of Loughborough under the authority of an Act of Parliament of 1558. Its purpose was to provide almshouse accommodation for a master and six poor inhabitants in the parish of Stoke Poges in Buckinghamshire. The purpose of the scheme set out in the appendix to the order is to alter the trusts of the charity which were established in their present form in a scheme confirmed by a public general Act of Parliament of 1856. The new scheme does not differ substantially from many others that are made each year by the Charity Commissioners. But since it amends provisions which have effect under a public general Act of Parliament the draft order giving effect to the scheme is required by section 19(3) of the Charities Act 1960 to be approved by resolution of each House of Parliament. Such schemes requiring affirmative resolution are not common. I believe that only one similar order has been made under the Act of 1960.
Your Lordships may find it helpful if I briefly explain the purpose of the scheme and the background to it. Under the scheme confirmed by the Act of 1856 the charity trustees were given power to sell the almshouse buildings and apply the proceeds in erecting new buildings in the parish of Stoke Poges or the immediate vicinity. Because their condition and situation were no longer considered satisfactory, the almshouses have been sold. But there is no land in Stoke Poges or the vicinity on which new almshouses could be built by the trustees at a price which they could afford. The trustees are therefore unable to apply the income of the charity in the way required by the present trusts. They have accordingly asked the Charity Commissioners to alter the trusts by making a scheme under which the income may be applied for a different purpose. This step is not unusual and the Commissioners have agreed.
That is the main purpose of the new scheme which we have before us in this draft order. It will alter the existing trusts so as to enable the trustees to apply the charity's income for the relief (otherwise than by the provision of almshouse accommodation) of poor people in Stoke Poges. The power to provide new almshouses, should it become possible 1293 to do so, is retained. The scheme also contains certain other amendments to the scheme confirmed by the Act of 1856, all of which are designed to secure the better administration of the charity. For instance, it establishes a new body of trustees in the place of those appointed under the earlier scheme and contains standard provisions for the regulation of the charity. I hope your Lordships will agree that these arrangements are worthwhile, and I commend the order and scheme to your Lordships' approval. I beg to move.
Moved, That the draft order laid before the House on 22nd July be approved.—(Lord Sandys.)
§ Lord BOSTON of FAVERSHAM
My Lords, I should like to thank the noble Lord, Lord Sandys, for his explanation of this order and I am sure that all noble Lords will be very grateful to him for that. It is interesting to note that, as the noble Lord has indicated, it is quite an early charity, dating from 1558. It therefore dates from before the great statute of Elizabeth I, the Charitable Uses Act 1601, and it was not affected by that Act. This charity must have been very well drawn originally and its purposes were clearly not among those abuses aimed at by that statute of Elizabeth I; so that one can only congratulate those originally associated with it.
At this slightly late stage, it is perhaps sad that a new scheme has had to be drawn up and that it is no longer possible to pursue the previous purposes of this scheme. Nevertheless, if I may say so, it certainly appears, both from the explanation by the noble Lord, Lord Sandys, and from the scheme contained in the order itself, that those involved in drawing it up have done a very good job indeed. I think it only remains for me to wish the charity every success in the future and to invite your Lordships to join with the noble Lord in supporting this order.

We know it's not nice to be judgmental, but between now and Sunday, Aug. 31, Boise Weekly is hoping you'll put that aside and be as judgey as you please. It's time yet again for BW's annual Best of Boise survey, which celebrates its 20th year as the original, definitive accounting of the highest quality local restaurants, bars, shops, art galleries, politicans, TV weatherpeople, museums, dentists, radio stations, tattoo parlors... you name it.
Voting is open now, with the ballot--containing 127 categories--available at boiseweekly.com. Just click on the purple BoB 2014 banner pasted across the homepage, sign in with your BW.com account and get busy voting. You must enter at least 30 rankings for your ballot to count, but you don't have to plow through the whole thing in one sitting--enter as many nominations as you want, take a break and come back later (though ballot stuffers will be disenfranchised).
One final rule: Entries must be local, meaning Best Ofs have to be based or located in the Boise metro area and (in the case of businesses), owners must live in the area and hold decision-making power without out-of-town corporate oversight.
Winners--as well as our editors' picks--will be published in the Sept. 24 edition of Boise Weekly.
Speaking of future editions of BW, you won't be finding them at any Jackson's or Stinker stations. The change is due to an adjustment in our distribution strategy, but you'll still be able to pick up your copy at all the usual spots--just not those two. We'll let you know if anything changes on that front.
Finally, in past-editions-of-BW news, we'd like to issue a correction in reference to our recent story about a neighborhood ruckus over dog park policy (BW, Rec News, "Debating Dog Parks," July 23, 2014).
In the piece, we mistakenly identified the park as 72-acre Marianne Williams Park in east Boise, when in fact the dog park in question is located at the 8-acre Williams Park in southeast Boise. BW regrets the error.


The cornerstone of the Divisions preventive maintenance program for the collection system is the rodding and jetting activity. The Division has two high pressure jetters called Vac-tors that utilize water pressure to score pipes of grit and grease. The debris is jetted to a down stream manhole where it is vacuumed into the vehicles containment body for disposal. This system approach eliminated the migration of debris in the collections system by removing it during the pressure washing activity.

Founders of Mormon Doomsday Cult Traded Daughters as Child "Brides" January 20, 2018 David Gee
Founders of Mormon Doomsday Cult Traded Daughters as Child "Brides"
The founders of a new fundamentalist Mormon doomsday cult reportedly married each other's seven- and eight-year-old daughters, and one of the men has been charged with sodomy of a child.
Samuel Shaffer (left) and John Coltharp
Last month we reported on the self-described "prophet" of the Knights of the Crystal Blade, Samuel Warren Shaffer, and how he was arrested for kidnapping two young daughters of his friend and co-founder John Coltharp. Now new information is coming out about their sick arrangement.
Iron County Sheriff's Office Detective Nathan Houchen detailed an interview with Shaffer in a search warrant affidavit submitted Dec. 11. Shaffer told police that he married Coltharp's 8-year-old daughter, and that Coltharp married his 7-year-old daughter.
Coltharp has been charged with sodomy of a child for a sexual assault that occurred on Aug. 1, but Shaffer has yet to be charged with crimes other than kidnapping and child abuse. It seems like more charges may be brought against Shaffer, though, considering other actions he reportedly took to facilitate marriages to children.
According to the affidavit, Spring City Police Chief Clarke Christensen was contacted by an out-of-state man who said he communicated with Shaffer and Coltharp through social media regarding Knights of the Crystal Blade.
The man said he traveled to Utah to "investigate" the religious group, according to the affidavit, was "forcefully" baptized into the church by Shaffer and was promised a child bride.
This story was messed up from the very beginning, but as we learn more, it seems to be getting worse and worse. In fact, the police are also currently investigating abuse against their four-year-old daughters.
Deputy Attorney Daniels also told 2News both Shaffer and Coltharp also allegedly married their own 4-year old daughters.
"At this point, we don't have any evidence that the four-year-olds were abused but we will certainly investigate that to the fullest," Daniels said.
During the interview, Shaffer admitted that as part of the process, he examined the genitals of Coltharp's daughter to confirm if her hymen was still intact. Shaffer claimed it was not.
"Absolutely inappropriate behavior and our office will hold them accountable," Daniels said.
These men, who are apparently battling over who is the current "prophet" of their little child sex cult, did unimaginable things to these little girls — in the name of God. Their sect, a fundamentalist representation of Mormonism that emphasizes polygamy and child brides, treated these children like sexual property. "Prophet" or not, they will have to face a secular justice system for these crimes.

In January 2013, the Schlesinger Library received a two-year, $150,000 grant from the National Historic Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC) to digitize its archival collections of the Blackwell family. The Blackwell family holdings contain close to 120,000 pages spread over five collections and spanning almost 200 years (1784–1981). The Blackwell family included a number of prominent leaders closely involved with the women's suffrage, abolition, prohibition, health care, and education reform movements in the 19th and 20th centuries. Perhaps the most well-known member of the family is Elizabeth Blackwell (1821–1910), the first woman to receive a medical degree in the United States. Other well-known members of the family include Emily Blackwell (1826–1910), the third woman to receive a medical degree in the US; their sister-in-law Antoinette Brown Blackwell (1825–1921), the first woman to be ordained as a minister in the US; Henry Browne Blackwell (1825–1909), his wife Lucy Stone (1818–1893), and their daughter Alice Stone Blackwell (1857-1950), all leaders of the abolition and women's suffrage movements.
Much progress has been made in the past 10 months since the digitization project began. The team working on the project is nearing the halfway mark of completion. Over 60,000 pages have been digitized. One interesting document recently reviewed is a handwritten draft copy of Lucy Stone and Henry Browne Blackwell's marriage protest statement.
Henry Blackwell and Lucy Stone's marriage statement was read aloud at their wedding ceremony on May 1, 1855, in West Brookfield, Massachusetts. The sentiment behind the statement was quite radical in a time when marriage meant a woman would forfeit her property and legal rights to her husband. In the draft statement, it is interesting to note some of the subtle changes made before the final version, found here.
One difference between the two documents is the deletion of most references to "god" or the "sacred" in the final version. Another change is the removal of a more traditional wedding vow-like statement at the end of the draft document, replaced by a more politically charged sentence summing up the couple's radical protest against unjust marriage laws.
Members of the Blackwell and Spofford families, Alice Stone Blackwell rests her hand on (her mother) Lucy Stone's shoulder, while Henry Browne Blackwell sits in front, ca. 1875-1885. Courtesy of the Schlesinger Library, Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, Harvard University, Collection Number: MC 411As a married couple, Blackwell and Stone continued to work for abolition, women's rights, and suffrage into old age. In 1870, they founded the Woman's Journal, a highly influential weekly newspaper focused on women's rights and suffrage, which is also being digitized by the Schlesinger Library. The couple's daughter, Alice Stone Blackwell, took over editorship of the Woman's Journal in 1881 and went on to become a prominent suffragist and women's rights leader in her own right. Lucy Stone passed away in October, 1893 and Henry Blackwell in September, 1909.
The Blackwell family digitization project is expected to be completed by the end of June 2015. More historic gems are almost certain to be uncovered and will be made accessible as the project continues over the next year. When completed, all digital images of documents found in the collection will be open and accessible to the public through the Blackwell family collection finding aids, HOLLIS, and a website dedicated to the collections.

With her appointment to the NPRSB, Lee becomes the first person with a background in mathematics, operations research and systems engineering selected for the board, which is typically filled with scientists trained in the bio/medical domain, or emergency response leaders.
"I am very honored to be selected, and am excited to be given the opportunity to work with such an outstanding group of experts on the challenges of preparedness and response," says Lee, Distinguished Scholar in Health Systems with the Emory/Georgia Tech Health Systems Institute
Lee's work in biodefense and public health began in 2003 when the CDC enlisted her help regarding the challenges inherent in preparing and protecting a city and its population in the event of a pandemic or bioterrorism incident. The CDC and her team at Tech worked late nights during the winter holiday break, benchmarking and testing the limits of the existing technologies, ultimately developing a powerful mathematical and computational tool now used by local public health departments across the U.S. She also assisted with the U.S. response to the earthquake in Haiti and was on the ground in Fukushima for the radiological emergency response there.
Lee's work has been recognized through the years with numerous national honors, including the INFORMS Franz Edelman, Pierskalla, and the Daniel H. Wagner awards. A sought-after speaker, she will present her research on medical preparedness and pandemic response at the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) Annual Meeting, touching on issues including the flu, measles and Ebola.

KAMPALA - Zambia won a penalty shootout over Uganda on Saturday to qualify for a chance to defend their African Cup of Nations (Afcon) title in South Africa next January.
Twenty kicks were needed before the continental champions advanced 9-8 on penalties after losing the second leg of their final round qualifier 1-0 to their hosts in Kampala.
Patrick Ochan missed the key kick in the post-match shootout amid an atmosphere of spiraling tension as Uganda threw away an early advantage and again missed out on qualification by the narrowest of margins.
They had been well placed after losing just 1-0 in Ndola in last month's first leg tie and leveled the aggregate score after 27 minutes on Saturday through Geoffrey Massa.
But a second goal proved elusive for Uganda, coached by Scotsman Bobby Willimason, despite the urgings of the capacity crowd as Zambia goalkeeper Kennedy Mweene produced a series of heroic saves to keep his side in the tie.
The match went to penalties after 90 minutes and immediately Zambia captain Chris Katongo, who had been their catalyst in winning the last Nations Cup, had the first kick saved.
But Uganda quickly ceded the early advantage and, after the penalties went into sudden death, were forced to keep scoring to stay in the contest, a pressure that proved too much for Ochan.
Zambia won this year's Nations Cup with a penalty shootout triumph over the Ivory Coast in the final in Libreville, Gabon.
Uganda narrowly missed out on a place at the last finals when they failed to win at home in their last group qualifier. They last competed at the Nations Cup in 1978, when they were runners-up.
Earlier on Saturday both Ghana and Mali, semi-finalists at the last event, booked their places. Another 12 berths will be decided over the weekend at the conclusion of a brief qualifying campaign for the 2013 finals in South Africa.

Q: Create interactive maps in R I am a R user and quite new in GIS.
From Adding Attribute data to shapefile? I know how to add/edit attribute data (say population) to shapefile using R.
Now, I have some shapefiles with attribute data, and I know how to make a static map, but I would like to know if there is a way to make an interactive map in R, e.g. allow zooming, hover a region will display the corresponding attribute data in R.
If not, I have heard of a free and open-source GIS software QGIS, is it possible to do it using that instead?

A: Yes with leaflet

*

*Leaflet for R

*Using Leaflet with Shiny

A: Just to add a few more pointers to the links mentioned in @nebi's answer:

*

*another Leaflet library: leafletR on CRAN

*the plotly ggplot2 library: see here and a series of example maps with code

*rCharts provides bindings to the Leaflet library, here is an example of a choropleth map

*ggvis can be combined with with shiny

A: Please refer to this similar question posed at StackOverflow.
The mapview package has been developed for this particular purpose and allows you to interactively display any objects of class 'Spatial*' and 'Raster*'. Note that it also comes with a variety of background map layers for better spatial orientation. For a short introduction to what mapview is capable of, feel free to browse the package vignette. Here, for example, is some code that displays the widely applied 'meuse' dataset from sp and, at the same time, allows you to interactively retrieve information from all the single data points. Check out ?mapview to grow familiar with the numerous costumization options that the package offers.
## required packages
# install.packages("mapview")
library(mapview)
library(sp)

## import 'meuse' dataset
data("meuse")

coordinates(meuse) <- ~ x + y
proj4string(meuse) <- CRS("+init=epsg:28992")

## create viewer (background layer 'OpenTopoMap')
mapview(meuse)

A: QGIS is a GIS platform.  Designed for you to do analytical computations on a spatial document.  In short, you are making a map.  In R, you can also create analytical computations based on GIS statistical analysis.  The question is whether or not you are creating a spatial dashboard, or a mapping product.   Here is a couple of websites that will give you R-based GIS:
http://www.maths.lancs.ac.uk/~rowlings/Teaching/UseR2012/index.html
http://spatial-analyst.net/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page
http://spatial.ly/r/  (If you are educated on ggplot2, this is good).

Q: How to store password info in database, using ReactJS frontend? I'm just looking for general guidance on this topic, as I am fairly new to all of this.
So, I have a react app, which generates login information for a given list of emails. What it does is that it creates an array that contains the given emails and automatically generates a password for each email, so then people can log in with their premade accounts. These accounts are meant for a one time use only, so once they submit what they need to fill out, they won't be able to modify their submission.
Now, I am generating the passwords in the frontend and then sending them directly to the database, but I would like to know where in this process are passwords supposed to be hashed? Is it a frontend thing or a backend thing? Is there a problem with sending the array with the passwords directly to the database as is? Also, currently, everything runs over HTTP, how can I force an HTTPS connection for the pages, so passwords are safer?

A: Also, currently, everything runs over HTTP, how can I force an HTTPS connection for the pages, so passwords are safer?
You need to get SSL certificate. There is a link will help you https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/free-https-c051ca570324

What Is the Meaning of the 1978 Atlanta Braves? (card 18 of 25)
(continued from Gary Matthews)
My guess is that Pat Rockett is the prototypical 1978 Atlanta Brave for Braves fans old enough to remember that team. That edition of the Braves, notable for being Bobby Cox's first squad and for little else, did feature some good individual "man alone" type performances, notably those of Phil Niekro and Jeff Burroughs, and featured also intermittently promising seasons from youngsters Dale Murphy and Bob Horner, key figures in the Braves' early 1980s upswing, but all in all the 1978 Atlanta Braves pretty much stunk, and when teams stink the fans of that team, when looking back, will single out a player or two to serve as shorthand for suckitude and as a password test to gain or restrict entry into an inner circle of fandom. Do you really know the Braves? Did you travel through the desert? Then all you have to say is Pat Rockett.
This is unfair to Pat Rockett, of course. No one really deserves to be a symbol of futility that in reality took many faltering hands to shoddily build. And Pat Rockett was an elite athlete, a former number 1 draft pick and Texas high school football superstar. But such is fandom, which tends to seize on such symbols when they hit .141, as Pat Rockett did in 1978. In July of that year, after starting a game and walking twice, he was replaced for a pinch-hitter, Darrel Chaney, who would close out his own career with a .217 lifetime batting average. Pat Rockett never played another major league game.
The 1978 Atlanta Braves will probably end up determining whether Love can beat Hate. The action in that glacially paced contest, which has been carried along by the "Play Ball" results on the backs of all the 1978 cards featured to date on this site, has now reached the bottom of the ninth inning, with Love down by two runs.
As the bottom of the ninth begins, the batting order is toward its nether regions, the six, seven, and eight batters due up. If anyone can get on base, there will be a pinch hitter for the pitcher in the ninth spot. Each player in the game has been anonymous beyond his place in the batting order and the baseball card "spirit" that presides over each at-bat. The spirits hovering over the sixth-place hitter make up a fairly uninspiring mix of marginals and workmanlike vets, and Love's six-hole guy has not had a good game so far:
6. Ground Out (Dale Murray)
6. Fly Out (Mike Paxton)
6. Fly Out (Chris Speier)
6. Fly Out (Tommy Boggs)
The six hitter seems to have a penchant for the fly out. Perhaps he is trying too hard, wanting to wrench one out of the park, and he gets under it and lofts it softly into the outfield. This seems something a number six hitter might do, as he probably aspires to be a middle of the order hitter.
Well, with Love's defeat looming on the horizon, especially considering the six-hitter's woes, perhaps it's time to start taking solace in whatever it is possible to take solace in. We're all eventually going to lose anyway, but is there maybe some beauty still to be held to? A fly out is sort of beautiful in itself, when seen live. You have to be at the game to watch it loft up into the air and to maybe also simultaneously check on the progress of the outfielder to see if his speed and grasp of geometry is going to enable him to intersect with the arc of the ball before it hits the ground. Line drives and grounders are too quick to offer any chance to linger as a viewer, and the primary thrill of a home run is the result, which can be communicated just fine through a television. Anyway, I like going to baseball games and watching fly outs, especially if I don't really give a shit about the game. Do I love it? I don't know, maybe that's putting it too strongly. But it would make my list of reasons it's not too bad to be alive. Sometimes, such as when I am able to appreciate such things as fly outs, it seems like such a list would be a long and happy one. So here's to the fly out.
(Love versus Hate update: Pat Rockett's back-of-the-card "Play Ball" result has been added to the ongoing contest.)

Lords: 3 November 2010
Middle East: Refugees
Volume 721: debated on Wednesday 3 November 2010
Lord Hylton
To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they will work for a comprehensive agreement covering all refugees arising from the Middle East since 1948.
Lord Wallace of Saltaire
My Lords, there is a range of refugee problems in the Middle East, including those of the Kurds and the Iranians, mostly in Iraq. The two major refugee issues are of course the Palestinian refugees from Israel in a number of countries, and the 4 million Iraqis displaced both within Iraq and as refugees in surrounding countries. A comprehensive settlement of the Palestinian issue will have to include a settlement for refugees as part of the final agreement. The Iraqi problem depends on restoring stability in Iraq.
I thank the noble Lord for his reply. Does he agree that the Palestinian refugees registered with the United Nations number some 4.8 million, and that Syria, Jordan and Lebanon contain about 1.7 million Iraqi refugees? This amounts to a population larger than that of many small states. Therefore, will the Government work not only for the comprehensive agreement that he mentioned, but more specifically for the resettlement of these people who have suffered so much for so long?
My Lords, the Government are working with the UN High Commissioner for Refugees and the UN relief and rehabilitation organisations to assist these refugees. Most of the Iraqis wish to go back to Iraq when they can. We will have a Question tomorrow about continuing violence in Baghdad and elsewhere, which is part of the problem. For the Palestinian refugees, this is of course a much longer-term and much more complex issue that has to be part of the negotiations for a comprehensive settlement of the Israeli-Palestinian dispute.
Lord Anderson of Swansea
Does the Minister agree that it would be unwise to encourage expectations of a mass Palestinian return to Israel, as both sides now accept that only a limited number will be allowed to resettle in the event of an agreement? Does he also agree that Arab states should be urged to do more financially to help Palestinian refugees settle and have a decent standard of living, either where they are or in the territories?
My Lords, I think that it is recognised on all sides that not all Palestinian refugees will return home. That is part of the necessary compromise that will have to be in a comprehensive settlement. We all understand also that reaching a compromise will be very difficult, and that we will need to address the issues of compensation and of a moral acknowledgement by Israel of the suffering endured by Palestinian refugees.
Lord Eden of Winton
My Lords, in attempting to deal with the problem of refugees, comprehensively or otherwise, might it not be helpful if action were encouraged to prevent the creation of new refugees? I have in mind particularly the persecution of Christians in Iraq and in Iran.
My Lords, we have a Question on that tomorrow, and it is probably more sensible to leave discussion until then.
Lord Clinton-Davis
Will the noble Lord agree that Jewish refugees have also been threatened and menaced throughout the Middle East and have gone to Israel? Does he agree that it is imperative that there should be discussions between Israel and Abbas immediately to ensure that the Palestinians can create a viable second state?
My Lords, the Government agree entirely. We very much hope that the current negotiations will continue to make progress and we would be deeply disturbed if they were to break down.
Baroness Falkner of Margravine
My Lords, is my noble friend aware that organisations such as the World Zionist Organisation have had campaigns to encourage British Jews to move to Israel and the Occupied Territories of Palestine? What discussions are the British Government having with the Israeli Government, because many of these people risk contravening international law—the International Criminal Court Act 2001 and other protocols—by settling in the Occupied Territories?
My Lords, Her Majesty's Government have made it perfectly clear that we are in favour of a two-state solution and that this two-state solution rests on the establishment of a viable Palestinian state. That means that a number of the settlements currently taking place on occupied territory will have to be removed.
Baroness Symons of Vernham Dean
My Lords, I think we are all aware that Palestinian refugees currently in Jordan are one of the most difficult and probably one of the most intractable of all the refugee problems in trying to settle the Middle East peace process. Can the Minister tell us what level of aid we are giving to the UN to sustain the Palestinian camps in Jordan? I am sure he will be very familiar with the camps and it would be interesting to know how much we are putting into them at the moment. Can he also tell us what direct discussions the Government are having with the countries of the Arab League, some of which are very rich indeed, about what aid they are prepared to make available both in budgetary and programme terms for resettlement in the future?
My Lords, I do not have the figures and will have to write to the noble Baroness with them. It is not only a question of the refugee camps in Jordan; as she will know, in many ways, the problems of the refugee camps in Lebanon and—worst of all—of those settled in Gaza are much more acute. I have seen Palestinian refugee camps in Damascus which I have to say were relatively well integrated into Syrian society. That seems to me very much the way forward. I agree with her that we should be asking members of the Arab League to provide more assistance.
Baroness Deech
Can the Minister give an assurance that he will in the mean time encourage that human rights prevail in the treatment of refugees in the Middle East? I am thinking in particular of the lack of rights of Palestinian refugees in Lebanon who are apparently unable to own property and who are excluded from healthcare. There is no reason why those rights should not be extended to them in the mean time.
My Lords, Her Majesty's Government are strongly committed to human rights throughout the Middle East, including in the Occupied Territories.
Lord McAvoy
My Lords, we all support a comprehensive peace settlement between Israel and the Palestinians. Will the UK Government, in supporting that comprehensive peace settlement, indicate quite clearly that they recognise the acknowledged security interests of Israel? Will they also take the opportunity to impress on the Israeli Government that there is no security in ruling all land between the River Jordan and the Mediterranean?
My Lords, the Foreign Secretary is in the Middle East at the moment and is talking to members of both the Israeli and the Palestinian Administrations.
