Item# hudaphsiauba
THIS IS AN AUTHENTICALLY AUTOGRAPHED PHOTO SIGNED BY DAVID HUDDLESTON...
THIS IS A 8 INCH BY 10 INCH BLACK AND WHITE PHOTO SIGNED BY DAVID HUDDLESTON. HAS BYLINE ON ORIGINAL PARAMOUNT STATIONARY. CONDITION OF THE PHOTO AND AUTOGRAPH IS VERY GOOD.
Known mainly as a character actor, Huddleston starred in the title role of 1985's big-budget film Santa Claus: The Movie, which featured a top-billed Dudley Moore as an elf.
Huddleston's first major role came in the 1968 drama A Lovely Way to Die. Shortly afterward the actor became a frequent guest star on several of the leading television series of the 1960s and 1970s, among them, Adam-12, Then Came Bronson, Gunsmoke, Bewitched, Bonanza, Cannon, McMillan and Wife, The Waltons, The Rookies, Medical Center, Kung Fu, Emergency!, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Police Woman, Hawaii Five-O, Sanford and Son and The Rockford Files. Among Huddleston's notable feature film credits prior to Santa Claus: The Movie are his co-starring roles in Blazing Saddles (1974); Billy Two Hats (1974); Breakheart Pass (1975); The Greatest (1977); The World's Greatest Lover (1977); and Smokey and the Bandit II (1980).
Huddleston resumed his television career with roles in various television movies, among them Heat Wave! (1974); The Oregon Trail (1976); Shark Kill (1976); Kate Bliss and the Ticker Tape Kid (1978); Family Reunion (1981); Computercide (1982); and M.A.D.D.: Mothers Against Drunk Drivers (1983). For much of the 1980s, Huddleston also starred in a series of television commercials for the Citrus Hill brand of orange juice. Huddleston's post-Santa Claus career has found him making occasional co-starring roles, in Spot Marks the X (1986); Frantic (1988); Life with Mikey (1993); The Big Lebowski (1998); and G-Men from Hell (2000). Later, he also had a recurring role as Grandpa "Gramps" Albert in The Wonder Years (1988�1993). His appearance as Benjamin Franklin in a Boston stage production of 1776 is referenced in the book Assassination Vacation by Sarah Vowell.
Huddleston's eldest son, Michael Huddleston, is also a longtime actor and performer. Huddleston is a long-time friend and former manager of musician/songwriter/businessman Roy Clark of Hee Haw fame.

Health Ranger blasts "crybully" CNN for outrageous double standards, gross hypocrisy and very fake news
Sunday, July 02, 2017 by: Mike Adams
Tags: CNN, Crybullies, Donald Trump, fake news, Journalism, mainstream media, msnbc
(Natural News) CNN, once the leader in cable news, is now the leader in crybully journalism. After fabricating fake news to smear Donald Trump — and getting caught — CNN is now crying and whining that it's the victim in all this.
I call it "crybully journalism," and it's the same style of putrid, passive-aggressive journalism you find on parade at MSNBC, NBC, the Washington Post and the New York Times. Across the board, all these media outlets smear, defame and demean President Trump, Sarah Palin, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh and every conservative in sight. Then, the minute somebody punches back, they cry "victim." (See more examples of left-wing crybully psychology at Crybullies.news.)
What they really want, you see, is a president who will just sit there and be abused, smeared and slandered by the media without responding in any way whatsoever. This, the media says, is known as being "presidential." When Obama, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Harry Reid and Mike & Joe deliberately lie, demean, insult and slander prominent Republicans, that's all okay with the left-wing media, but the minute somebody gives these sociopathic Democrats a dose of their own medicine, they cry foul.
But Trump isn't going to be the insane left-wing media's punching back. Trump is re-defining "presidential" to mean, finally, refusing to be the media's whipping boy. That's why everyone in America who isn't a brainwashed, indoctrinated Rachel Maddow groupie is loving every minute of Donald Trump fighting back against the corrupt, dishonest, abusive and wildly FAKE "mainstream" media.
That's why, when Trump tweeted out this hilarious video of him body slamming CNN to the ground, much of the country cheered with laughter:
Four podcasts that expose the fakery and treason of CNN
I've posted four podcasts that expose the outright fakery, anti-Americanism and treason of CNN, a tabloid fake news network staffed by treasonous traitors who despise America, democracy and the voters. You can hear all these (and more) at the Health Ranger Report podcast site.
First, here's my take on how CNN has become the leader in "crybully journalism."
Here's how James O'Keefe and Project Veritas are spearheading what I call "the collapse of bulls##t" and the exposing of CNN's totally fake news:
In this podcast, I reveal how President Trump can instantly de-fund CNN and collapse the lying "mainstream" media:
And finally, here's why believing CNN may literally get you killed. Not only is watching CNN one of the most stupid things you can do to yourself, it's also dangerous to your survival:

IT seems napping may do more than just reboot our energy levels and improve our mood.
New research from Science Daily has found people who took advantage of a midday snooze were more likely to have a noticeable drop in blood pressure compared with those who did not nap.
Dr Sarah Brewer, expert in nutritional medicine, said: "Taking a midday nap was associated with an average 5 mmHg fall in systolic blood pressure compared with those who did not take a nap.
"And, for every 60 minutes of midday sleep, average blood pressure across a 24-hour period decreased by 3 mmHg.


Wulf will succeed Ronald Stotish, who will remain with the company as an executive director with responsibility for research and regulatory affairs. AquaBounty says Wulf's appointment coincides with the company's development emphasis on the commercialization of its AquAdvantage Salmon, which is slated to be produced in Albany, Indiana.
AquaBounty acquired the former Bell Fish Co. facility in Albany in June 2017. The company in April received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to raise salmon at the facility, however it is awaiting approval from the FDA to import its AquAdvantage brand salmon eggs from Canada. In the meantime, the company has stocked the tanks with traditional Atlantic Salmon eggs and is growing those fish at the facility.
Wulf says the AquAdvantage Salmon, which is bioengineered to to grow to market size in about half the time of traditional farm-raising method, is "the type of innovation necessary to meet the rising consumer demand for a healthy source of protein, and salmon in particular, without placing further pressure on the sea and coastal environments."

Federal election: Globe editorial endorsements from 1984 to now
Published October 16, 2015 Updated May 15, 2018
The Globe and Mail's editorial board has made its endorsement ahead of the federal election on Oct. 19.
Here is a look at which parties won The Globe and Mail editorial board's support during federal elections over the past 30 years.
Stephen Harper in 2015. The Canadian Press
2015: The Globe endorses the Conservatives (not Stephen Harper)
From the editorial:
"Canada needs a change. It also needs the maintenance of many aspects of the economic status quo. What Canada needs, then, is a Conservative government that is no longer the Harper government.
It is not time for the Conservatives to go. But it is time for Mr. Harper to take his leave. He can look back on parts of his record with pride, but he has undone himself and his party with a narrowness of vision and a meanness of spirit on a host of issues, from voting rights to crime and punishment to respect for science to respect for the courts. The topper has been how this election campaign was sidetracked into an artificial, American-style, culture war over niqabs and "barbaric cultural practices." The spectacle of a prime minister seemingly willing to say anything, or demonize anyone, in an attempt to get re-elected has demeaned our politics. And while it may have firmed up the old Reform base, it also solidified the Harper Conservative Party as a party of, by and for that base.
The Conservatives have been a big tent party in the past, and they must be once again. Fiscally prudent, economically liberal and socially progressive – the party could be all of those things, and it once was. But it won't be, as long as Mr. Harper is at its head. His party deserves to be re-elected. But after Oct. 19, he should quickly resign. The Conservative Party, in government or out, has to reclaim itself from Stephen Harper."
Stephen Harper in 2011. Adrian Wyld/Reuters
2011: The Globe endorses Stephen Harper's Conservatives
"Only Stephen Harper and the Conservative Party have shown the leadership, the bullheadedness (let's call it what it is) and the discipline this country needs. He has built the Conservatives into arguably the only truly national party, and during his five years in office has demonstrated strength of character, resolve and a desire to reform. Canadians take Mr. Harper's successful stewardship of the economy for granted, which is high praise. He has not been the scary character portrayed by the opposition; with some exceptions, his government has been moderate and pragmatic."
"The campaign of 2011 – so vicious and often vapid – should not be remembered fondly. But that will soon be behind us. If the result is a confident new Parliament, it could help propel Canada into a fresh period of innovation, government reform and global ambition. Stephen Harper and the Conservatives are best positioned to guide Canada there."
Stephen Harper in 2008. Fred Greenslade/Reuters
"On balance, Mr. Harper remains the best man for the job in the tough times now upon us. He deserves if not four more years, at least two more years.
"Meanwhile, the supposedly obstinate Mr. Harper has been nothing if not open to adjusting as circumstances change. He was masterful in building a "big tent" centre-right alternative to the "natural governing" Liberals. His vision, determination and adroitness restored political competition to Canada, not an insignificant accomplishment."
"By and large, Canadians still don't really trust Mr. Harper and so he has not yet earned their comfort with a majority government. If he prevails next Tuesday, it will be as a default choice, not a popular choice. Voters generally respect him – and, right now, competence trumps the unknown – but if he ever hopes to complete the construction of a governing party of the right and be remembered as more than a middling, minority prime minister, Mr. Harper will have to show as much capacity to grow over the next four years as he has over the past four."
Stephen Harper and his wife Laureen in 2006. Fred Lum/The Globe and Mail
"Today, Canadians clearly are ready for change. If not now – if not after a painfully incoherent minority Liberal government, if not after a succession of scandals, if not after four full terms of deteriorating government – then when? When is change acceptable if not now?"
"There is greater reason to feel comfortable with Mr. Harper today. He has shown himself to be an intelligent man and one, in this campaign at least, who has learned to master his emotions. He has gained control of a party inclined to fly off in all directions, moved it to the centre and proposed a reasonable if imperfect governing platform. His targeted tax measures are measured, his defence policies are sound, and his approach to waiting times is worth experimenting with."
"The question many ask – who is the real Stephen Harper? – cannot be answered with exactitude. Then again, who was the real Pierre Trudeau – the civil libertarian or the invoker of the War Measures Act? All politics contains a degree of posturing and calculation. That said, the evidence suggests Mr. Harper has indeed evolved as a national leader."
Paul Martin in 2004. Shaun Best/Reuters
2004: The Globe endorses Paul Martin's Liberals
"The answer to the question of who can best govern Canada requires a close examination not just of the devil you know but of the alternative."
"On the one hand, the Liberals are worn and tired and their leader has not lived up to his billing. But he's performed well in previous incarnations.
On the other hand, Stephen Harper, a product of Central Canadian caution and Alberta's can-do frontier mentality, represents genuine change. Yet there are troubling signs that he has not yet matured into a truly national leader."
"As with medicine, the most important principle of Canadian politics should be to do no harm."
"Therefore, we urge a Liberal vote Monday – not because they've earned the right to re-election but because, at the very least, we can count on them to do little harm ..."
Jean Chretien and his wife Aline in 2000. Paul Chiasson/The Canadian Press
2000: The Globe endorses Jean Chrétien's Liberals
"Canadians have enjoyed an uncommon run of prosperity. The federal Liberal government, by which we mean Finance Minister Paul Martin, has taken advantage of the good times and exercised the necessary fiscal restraint to erase a crippling federal deficit and begin paying down an enormous debt."
"If only Mr. Martin were running for prime minister rather than Mr. Chrétien, our choice would be obvious. Mr. Martin is a fully bilingual, thoughtful, experienced politician with a business background and leadership instincts at the conservative end of the Liberal spectrum.
But Mr. Martin is not running for prime minister. Mr. Chrétien has made sure of that, several times. The question, therefore, is whether he might become prime minister."
"We therefore cast our vote for the Liberals, in the belief that the party will soon choose Mr. Martin as its leader, and Canada's."
Jean Charest in 1997. Tom Hanson/The Canadian Press
1997: The Globe endorses Jean Charest's Progressive Conservatives
"It is almost surprising to realize that, on balance, the best party platform comes from the Progressive Conservatives under Jean Charest. The PCs were not supposed to be ready with a coherent vision for the future yet, but Mr. Charest delivered it this spring with convincing force."
"As a political leader, Jean Charest is clearly superior to Jean Chrétien. Mr. Charest's ability to make the case for his cause is unsurpassed in Canadian politics, and his approach to Quebec has long shown the suppleness required by reality. The fact that Mr. Charest's teammates are largely unknown and untested is a liability, but less so than Mr. Chrétien's presumptuous absence of policy or vision.
Elections require that choices be made among imperfect alternatives in the face of unpredictable events. The Liberals made a bet in calling this election: That they wouldn't have to earn a second mandate with specific commitments for the future because their opponents were too weak to matter. Both Reform and the PCs have shown the Liberals to be wrong, and Jean Charest has, in our opinion, prevailed in making the best case for the support of the voters."
Jean Chrétien in 1993. Tom Hanson/The Canadian Press
1993: The Globe endorses a minority government for Jean Chrétien's Liberals
"Let us declare firmly for a minority. We do not trust the Liberals to govern unguarded."
"In short, a minority would put all three parties on probation, probably for about two years. We should then have the chance to watch and learn from their behaviour in Parliament – whether the Grits have changed, whether the Tories can regroup, whether Reform matures – before committing ourselves to a majority for any one party.
What does all this mean for Canadians deciding where to cast their ballot? The Liberals are rightly assured of a plurality. The task now is to deny them a majority. So we urge voters who share our concerns at the Liberals being given a "blank cheque" to vote tactically, Tory or Reform, depending on which party's candidate is best placed to defeat a Liberal. With the collapse of the Tories, that party looks in most cases to be Reform. The need to avoid splitting the vote is most acute in Ontario and the West, where the Grit majority will be won or lost. Mr. Manning wants his party to be the "fiscal and democratic conscience" of the next Parliament. He has earned that right."
Brian Mulroney, right, in 1988. Fred Chartrand/The Canadian Press
1988: The Globe endorses Brian Mulroney's Progressive Conservatives
From the editorials:
"To a degree perhaps unprecedented in Canadian history, this election has been dominated by a single issue – the free-trade agreement negotiated with the United States. Moreover, the political lines on the issue have been drawn with exceptional clarity: the Conservatives are strongly pro, the Liberals and NDP dead set against. The result, for those of us who favour the agreement, is an easy and obvious choice about which party to support in Monday's vote. It must be the Conservatives."
"This election demands passage to a higher state of maturity in Canada, internally as well as globally. Unity can no longer be based on the assumption that whole regions can stand alienated for generations "in the national interest." The constructive citizenship of most Canadians must be assumed to be deepened. The image of Ottawa as policeman and Defender of the Faith must give way to Ottawa as leader and partner in a shared national purpose, as it has since 1984.
This is a nation-building election. We need a Conservative majority to protect and strengthen the new foundations of unity laid by the Mulroney government. Complacency with our progress could too easily become the enemy of our success."
Brian Mulroney and his wife Mila in 1984. The Canadian Press
"Which party is most likely to change – really change – the way our national government operates? Which party has the best claim to be a truly national party appealing to the diverse regions and groups which comprise the Canadian family? The answer to both questions is: the Conservative Party. And that, not Brian Mulroney's smooth campaign or John Turner's sometimes scratchy one, is why Canadians should vote to install a Conservative Government in Ottawa."
"It is, as Mr. Mulroney says, a time for civility, for healing, in this diverse and quarrelsome land. The best chance for that is to elect a Conservative Government and let it get on with the nation's business."

Smith College, Northampton, Massachusetts (1995-1997)
Rolland/Towers (landscape architectural firm)
Shavaun Towers (landscape architect)
450 photographic materials
Project series documents Cornelia Hahn Oberlander's project for landscape master plan of Smith College campus, Northampton, Massachusetts. Oberlander worked on this project from 1995-1997 in collaboration with Shavaun Towers from landscape architectural firm Rolland/Towers. The project required to preserve the historic landscaping, initially design by Frederick Law Olsmsted, while also taking into account future growth of the campus. In this idea Oberlander and Towers bases their landscape master plan on six key concepts: to preserve the sacred spaces of the campus, to restore Olmsted vision, to develope open spaces in an hierarchical fashion, to limite vehicular traffic and separate it from pedestrian circulation, to provide stronger pedestrian connexions and commun spaces for social interactions, and to expande and enhance the Botanic Garden on the campus.
The project series contains concept notes by Oberlander, research and reference material, proposal, meetings notes, contract, correspondence, mostly with landscape architects, clients and consultants, and financial documents. The project is also documented through landscape master plans for Oberlander and Towers proposal and campus landscape plans and previous landscape working drawings used as reference.The project series also contains photographic materials, such as slides and photographs, of the college landscaping, and postcards of Smith College.

A 35,000-square-foot warehouse in Santa Ana filled with donated items serves as a testament to human kindness and business savvy.
The building, owned by Goodwill of Orange County, houses materials that are sold on shopgoodwill.com, which was recently ranked the second best auction site, only to eBay, by Lifewire, a technology publication.
The difference between the two auction sites is that more than 90% of every Goodwill sale goes back into the organization's programs to help struggling people find jobs. Many of the Shopgoodwill.com employees are program participants.
The site has sold more than 20 million items for $516 million since Goodwill of Orange County created it in 1999.
With recent renovations to the site making it more user friendly for computers and mobile devices, it's expected to continue growing, said Frank Talarico, president and CEO of Goodwill of Orange County.
Currently, 160 of the 162 international Goodwill territories are contracted with the Orange County group to resell items on the website. At any time, 116 of them are actively selling their donated goods.
Each Goodwill then collects the money it makes from its own sales.
In return for using the service, the Orange County branch charges an average sales fee of 2 to 2.5% to each territory. Talarico said most e-commerce sites charge about 10%.
Talarico said his organization started the auction site to adapt to an evolving media landscape. He's been with the group for about six years.
While the group is charity driven, it has to compete within the market in order to maintain its services.
"While this is owned and operated by a charity, we are a social enterprise," Talarico said. "If we don't conduct business as a traditional for-profit, with the eye towards maximizing revenue of donated goods, then we can't satisfy our programs and services.
Talarico said the Orange County group has been known as an innovator within the larger umbrella organization.
Apart from the auction site, they've opened several upscale boutique stores within the past few years as a means to sell their luxury donated items.
The group was recently selected to receive the 2018 Guardian of Justice award from the Hispanic Bar Association of Orange County, which promotes the local Hispanic legal community. Goodwill of Orange County served about 5,800 Hispanics in the county within the last year.
Talarico said the group will continue innovating.
They'll soon be launching a companion application to the auction website that can be downloaded onto a phone to further streamline the shopping experience.

Plea postponed: Judge wants report, photos in Korte child porn possession case
Walter Korte leaves court August 8, 2017, after a judge holds off accepting a plea agreement. Staff photo
Lisa Provence
One year after the arrest of former UVA film studies professor Walter Korte for the possession of child pornography sent the local cinephile community reeling, he appeared in court August 8 ready to enter a plea—and the judge asked for more information before okaying the agreement.
During his 46-year-career, Korte, 73, advised the fledgling Virginia Film Festival for many years, received a Fulbright Fellowship at the University of Milan, and was an expert on the work of Luchino Visconti and the Italian cinema.
The case began last summer when UVA police discovered a cache of porn in a dumpster on Grounds behind Bryan Hall on subsequent days. "The vast majority of the pictures depicted adult, transgender subjects, but a number of images included both clothed and unclothed young males," said Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney Amanda Galloway.
Officers also found magazines and junk mail with Korte's address.
Police set up surveillance on the dumpster, and on August 1, 2016, spied Korte at 6:43am dumping bags filled with more images. Yet another dump August 2 included poster boards of '70s teen heartthrob Leif Garrett, Galloway told Judge Cheryl Higgins in Albemarle Circuit Court.
Korte was arrested August 2, charged with two counts of child porn possession and held in jail for over a month. In February, Higgins ruled that the search warrant did not support probable cause because most of the images were legal adult porn or teens not engaged in sex acts, but she allowed the admission of the thousands of images as evidence anyway.
"The vast majority of the images contained legal, adult pornography," said Galloway.
Questionable images were sent to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children to be run against their child pornography database, which found one known child porn image, and to the state attorney general's office, "which identified 695 images as legal 'child erotica,' not meeting the definition of child pornography under Virginia law," Galloway told the judge.
The AG's office also found 16 potential child porn images of pubescent males, but none matched the national database, their ages could not be determined and the images came from adult porn sites, said the prosecutor.
During the yearlong investigation, no hands-on victims were found, and a psychosexual evaluation determined Korte was not a threat, said Galloway. Because he had no criminal history and because of his age, the commonwealth agreed to a plea in which he could serve a maximum of 12 months and would become a registered sex offender, she said.
Galloway also pointed out that had Korte been convicted of possessing one image from the national database, sentencing guidelines would recommend probation, no incarceration and no sex offender registration. "The agreement allows for finality," she said.
Higgins, however, was not ready to close the case. "I am concerned about the court being tied" to the agreement, she said. She also said she had "great reservations" about the photos, and asked to see the two alleged child porn images, which are under seal, and to have a pre-sentence report.
Korte will be back in court November 14 to learn her decision.

Owners Magazine 2019: Talking With the Top Developers and Owners of NYC
Posted November 6, 2019 by Meir Sivak & filed under Uncategorized.

President, Lightstone Group
Do you think we're heading into a downturn? Why or why not? From a macro-perspective, the runway must end at some point. That being said, aside from general malaise, most notably seen in the New York City condo markets, there is continued strength in our core businesses. Once supply and demand balances, growth will be re-established in the residential arena. The recent floundering of IPOs is somewhat of a canary in a coal mine in that lofty valuations are starting to feel the weight of gravity. Those who can produce real earnings with growth will be rewarded, regardless of industry, as fundamentals still dictate ultimate valuation. Nonetheless, we live in a dangerously interconnected world that can suffer from either a black swan event or a contagion that creates a flash crash of sorts.
What do you think the future looks like for WeWork and other coworking operators if the economy slows down? The trend of smaller, focused utilization of office spaces is here to stay. However, coworking operators suffer from seemingly limitless long-term liabilities coupled with short-term sublease revenues that may prove to be erratic as unprofitable startups lose their luster. At some point, the music stops and the herd mentality will erode net-effective sublet lease rates. Everything boils down to supply and demand. It's been too much too soon in terms of the growth of WeWork. That ambitious growth has yet to be tested in a sustained downturn, but get your popcorn ready.
Is New York City losing its shine? Are property investors starting to look elsewhere? There is simply too much human capital in terms of talent, culture and titans of industry in New York City. While New York will continue to remain the center of the universe, from a shorter term view, SALT implications and localized politics will steer capital flows disproportionately to the Sun Belt and other more business-friendly locations. There is a growing subset of developers who have become frustrated with the city and are clearly looking elsewhere. It's hard to believe that the trend will persist indefinitely, as ego, passion and the inevitable flight to safety will take root. History has shown that NYC bounces back in even the darkest of times. Never bet against New York.
How have you adjusted your business plan since the new rent laws were passed? We're building ground-up in scale as opposed to seeking out value-add deals. Our city is in desperate need of both infrastructure upgrades and modern buildings to replace antiquated supply. The new rent laws have all but frozen capital investments in older housing stock and have put a dagger into a value-add investment strategy. Tenants' safety and quality of life will be adversely affected by this new legislation. The new laws will lead to a wide schism between newer-construction buildings and an increasingly dilapidated housing stock. When the real estate investment community has no economic motivation to invest in older housing stock, public-private partnerships will slow to a trickle and everyone loses.
Do the new rent laws present any opportunities for savvy owners? Panic typically doesn't occur in NYC. However, there will be situational opportunities driven by debt maturities, breaches of covenants and sunsets of funds or capital sources. Those forced to sell with business plans that are no longer viable will suffer, and the buyers of the broken deals will be rewarded with patience. Regulation waxes and wanes, and the impatient will suffer while those who can afford to ride out the storm should benefit.
Is REBNY in need of a revamp? What needs to happen? The overall tone in our industry needs to be changed. Real estate owners cannot be perceived as the adversary within the urban fabric. There was a collective failure across the entire industry to not recognize this sea change coming right for us. Rather than be reactionary, there needs to be compromise rooted in public-private partnerships. Economic incentives need to be re-established for the business community to drive investment and improve the overall quality of life for residents.
What's the biggest headache in your job that no one knows about? Anything having to do with shutting off or turning on gas. Why is that so difficult to do in New York City?
What's more important: having the best lawyer or having the best accountant? If you don't have the right lawyer, there may never be any money to count.
Most underrated neighborhood in the city? I might be biased by the recent opening of our Moxy East Village, but I would have to say the East Village. It still has all the urban grit that made it what it is, but every time you walk around there you uncover something new.
If you could pick the Republican and Democratic nominees for President, who would they be? Abraham Lincoln and Franklin Roosevelt.
LIGHTNING ROUND:
Favorite book? "The Last Lion,"William Manchester's Winston Churchill biography

[HWPL] 'Letter of support for the peaceful reunification of the Korean Peninsula' from a German politician in Frankfurt
A 'Letter of support for the peaceful reunification of the Korean Peninsula' was delivered by Manfred Florian Welker, the former local councillor of the city of Frankfurt, to Chairman Man-hee Lee
In 2018, a climate of peace was created through three inter-Korean summits that took place within the Korean Peninsula. The first inter-Korean summit, held on April 27th, turned the eyes of the world towards the Korean Peninsula. Chairman Lee always prayed for peace in the Korean Peninsula. On May 12th, the following month, a special letter was delivered to Man-hee Lee, Chairman of Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light (HWPL), who was in Frankfurt, Germany during his 27th peace tour.
At the 'Pan-European Peace Forum for the Peaceful Unification of the Korean Peninsula and Action Plan through DPCW', held at the Leonardo Royal Hotel in Frankfurt, the then Councillor Manfred Florian Welker (Frankfurt Regional Advisory Council) sent a letter of support (Letter of Support for Peaceful Unification of the Korean Peninsula) to Chairman Lee.
Former City Councillor Manfred Florian Welker delivers a letter of support for the peaceful reunification of the Korean Peninsula to Chairman Lee at the Leonardo Royal Hotel in Frankfurt, Germany, on May 12th 2018
In this letter, former councillor Welker said, "I sincerely thank all of you for your work for world peace and the end of war."
He emphasized, "With the firm conviction that world peace can be achieved in this era if everyone becomes a messenger of peace, I am firmly following the exemplary goal of HWPL, a legally binding instrument in the form of the Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW)."
Regarding the numerous conflicts occurring within the current international community, he said, "The many tragic wars and conflicts in today's society that require urgent and humanitarian solutions are causing the deaths of many innocent people. The causes of these conflicts are deeply rooted. Humanity is hesitant to seek peaceful agreements to prevent these problems, as it is especially difficult to find the best solutions for them. Advances in technology have led to destructive weapons that only increase the risk of innocent deaths over time."
Regarding the situation on the Korean Peninsula, he said, "Above all, given the current situation, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Korean Peninsula is in one of the most dangerous situations in the world. It is leading people to a life of fear."
Referring to HWPL's DPCW, Welker evaluated that "(DPCW) will be sufficient to solve these problems." In addition, he wrote in his letter, "I strongly support the peaceful unification of the Korean Peninsula because it acknowledges the absurdity of the existence of a divided country on the earth as a result of the outdated times caused by the Cold War in the 1960s."
Chairman Man-hee Lee delivers a lecture during the 'Pan-European Peace Forum - Plan for Peaceful Reunification and Action through DPCW' held at the Leonardo Royal Hotel in Frankfurt, Germany, on May 12th 2018
Before delivering his letter of support, former councillor Welker and Chairman Lee had a conversation the day before, on the 11th, at the Sofitel Hotel in Frankfurt, Germany.
During the interview, former councillor Welker said, "My interest in peace has grown through HWPL.'' He also suggested a plan for a future peace project to Chairman Lee, saying that he hopes to achieve it together with HWPL. This plan also includes the installation of a peace monument to commemorate HWPL's peace activities. To this, Chairman Lee replied, "I think I have met a noble person," and, "I feel like Heaven has sent someone to comfort and help this person after knowing that he is having a difficult time."
At that time, HWPL was on their 27th peace tour and, for the first time, the peace delegation presented their peace book 'The True Story of HWPL', compiled and produced by the peace movement, detailing all their peace activities to date. Former councillor Welker, who attended HWPL's 5.25 World Peace Walk in Frankfurt on May 25th 2016, was the first recipient of the peace story book. Welker was fascinated by Chairman Lee's practical peace activities and decided to actively support HWPL's activities.
Chairman Lee in dialogue with former councillor Welker, to whom he presented 'The True Story of HWPL' peace book that details the fruits of HWPL's peace efforts, on May 11th 2018, at the Sofitel Hotel in Frankfurt, Germany. Former councillor Welker was the first person to be gifted 'The True Story of HWPL' peace book.
Welker, who was a local councillor at the time, expressed great interest in the peace activities in Frankfurt, attending every event to deliver a speech, including at the WARP Office meeting.
In addition, following HWPL's peace tour, former local councillor Welker attended the 4th annual commemoration of the WARP Summit in Korea in September 2018. He found a site in the Frankfurt area to install the Peace Monument and recommended a school to become a peace academy that teaches HWPL peace education. He also liaised with the German National Library in Frankfurt to have the peace book, containing the fruits of HWPL's peace movement, on display.
Meanwhile, HWPL visited five European countries including Ukraine, Germany, Sweden, Norway and Romania during their 27th peace tour (May 8-23rd 2018) to gather support for the peaceful reunification of the Korean Peninsula.
During this tour, HWPL met local government officials, women and youth group leaders, and religious leaders to hold peace forums, sign MOUs, and other meetings for the development of peace within each respective country. In particular, a Peace Forum hosted in five European countries was held under the theme of the peaceful reunification of the Korean Peninsula. The forum served as a platform to discuss and implement the global community's joint efforts on the Korean Peninsula issue, which itself is directly related to the stability and peace of the international community.
Participants take a commemorative photo following a meeting for the proliferation of a culture of peace, and support for the peaceful reunification of the Korean Peninsula, by former high-ranking European politicians at the National Assembly in Bucharest, Romania, during the 27th Peace Tour on May 19th 2018

Advent began on Sunday and today is the Feast of Saint Nicholas, the Bishop of Myra in Patristic times who has been transformed into Santa Claus. Later this morning, I am celebrating a mid-week Eucharist for Advent in Saint Mary's Church, Askeaton, Co Limerick.
Throughout the season of Advent this year, I am spending a short time of Prayer and reflection each morning, using the prayer diary of the Anglican mission agency, USPG (United Society Partners in the Gospel) and the Advent and Christmas Devotional Calendar from Lichfield Cathedral.
This week, the diary follows the theme of the story told yesterday from the USPG-supported PMTCT (Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission) HIV programme run by the Church of Tanzania.
Give thanks for the health workers of the Anglican Church of Tanzania, which has 37 health facilities countrywide, providing over 30 per cent of the health services in some remote areas.
Today's suggested reading is Matthew 18: 12-14.
Give thanks that God is merciful and generous. Like St Nicholas of old, make a donation to a cause supporting the desperately poor.
Isaiah 25: 6-10a; Psalm 23; and Matthew 15: 29-37.

First Department Holds Parents Who Are Directed to Pay Fees of Attorney Appointed to Represent Child May Raise Defense of Legal Malpractice to Attorney's Claim For Fees.
In Venecia C. v. August V., --- N.Y.S.2d ----, 2013 WL 6325172 (N.Y.A.D. 1 Dept.), the divorced parents had three children, age 17, 14 and 11. In the divorce action, although the parties stipulated to joint custody, it was left to the trial court to direct that plaintiff mother would have primary residential custody in the marital apartment in Manhattan. In 2009, the mother moved for an order allowing her to relocate with the children to Demarest, New Jersey, approximately 12 miles outside Manhattan, and the father responded by moving for a change of custody. The motion court appointed the attorney for the children in this context. On November 22, 2011, the attorney for the children moved for an order directing the father to pay the outstanding fees he owed in the amount of $2,034.60, and for an additional sum covering the cost of making the enforcement application. The attorney for the children stated that the father never objected to any of her bills and had previously paid his 30% share of the fees billed. The motion court granted the motion by the attorney for the children, ordering the father to pay the sum of $2,034.60 for his share of outstanding fees, as well as $1,500 for fees she incurred in making the application. It rejected the argument that the Court's ruling in Mars v. Mars (19 AD3d at 196), gave a parent the right to challenge the fee of an attorney for the child on the ground of malpractice. In any event, it found no factual basis for the malpractice claim.
The Appellate Division, in an opinion by Justice Saxe, held that parents who are directed to pay the fees of the attorney appointed to represent the children may raise the defense of legal malpractice to that attorney's claim for fees. He observed that in Mars v. Mars (19 AD3d at 196), the Court held that a parent may assert legal malpractice as an affirmative defense to a Law Guardian's fee application "to the extent of challenging that portion of the fees attributable to advocacy, as opposed to guardianship." He noted that the ruling was limited by the then-prevailing view that attorneys appointed as law guardians for children in divorce cases often functioned in a role similar to a guardian ad litem, advocating for what they believed to be the best interests of the child, as opposed to what the child desired. The Court reaffirmed the essence of the Mars v. Mars ruling, namely that a parent may assert legal malpractice as an affirmative defense to the fee claim of an attorney for a child. The attorney for the child, no less than the attorneys for the parties, is serving as a professional and must be equally accountable to professional standards. That the children cannot hire and pay for their own attorneys, leaving it to the court to make the necessary appointment, does not alter the applicable standards, or the means by which they may be raised.
Notwithstanding that the father may have standing to assert such a defense, Justice Saxe agreed with the motion court that the father's accusations here did not establish a prima facie showing of legal malpractice and disciplinary violations. He also found that the father never objected to any of the bills presented by the attorney for the children despite the fact that they were in his possession for a significant amount of time (Pedreira v. Pedreira, 34 AD3d 225 [1st Dept 2006] ). The court therefore acted properly in ordering him to pay the fees under an account stated theory (Shaw v. Silver, 95 AD3d 416, 416 [1st Dept 2010] ).
Second Department Holds Petitioner must Demonstrate Respondent's Conduct Was Intended to Cause, or Recklessly Created a Risk of Causing, Public Inconvenience, Annoyance, or Alarm.
In Casie v Casie, --- N.Y.S.2d ----, 2013 WL 3813824 (N.Y.A.D. 2 Dept.) the Second Department, in an opinion by Judge Skelos, held that to establish the family offense of disorderly conduct, a petitioner must demonstrate that the challenged conduct was intended to cause, or recklessly created a risk of causing, public inconvenience, annoyance, or alarm.
On February 15, 2012, the petitioner, Dionne Cassie, filed a family offense petition against her husband, Richard Cassie which alleged that, on February 11, 2012, the parties engaged in a dispute or altercation because the husband had promised that he was going to leave the marital home and had "reneged on his promise." According to the wife, the husband attempted, unsuccessfully, to push her down a flight of stairs, twisted her arm, causing pain, and pushed her against a wall. Based upon this alleged conduct, the wife asserted that the husband had committed the family offenses of, among others, attempted assault, assault in the second or third degree, harassment in the first or second degree, and disorderly conduct. The wife requested an order of protection requiring the husband to stay away from her and the marital home.
At the close of the evidence, the Family Court found that the husband "engaged in the offense of disorderly conduct in the home, in that he fought with [the wife]." The court thereupon issued a two-year order of protection , directing the husband to refrain from various forms of conduct, such as harassment and disorderly conduct.
The Appellate Division reversed in an opinion by Justice Skelos. He observed that in a family offense proceeding, the petitioner has the burden of establishing, by a "fair preponderance of the evidence," that the charged conduct was committed as alleged in the petition. (Family Ct Act § 832). Under the Penal Law, "A person is guilty of disorderly conduct when, with intent to cause public inconvenience, annoyance or alarm, or recklessly creating a risk thereof: 1. He engages in fighting or in violent, tumultuous or threatening behavior; or 2. He makes unreasonable noise; or 3. In a public place, he uses abusive or obscene language, or makes an obscene gesture;..."(Penal Law § 240.20). Justice Skelos pointed out that critical to a charge of disorderly conduct is a finding that the disruptive statements and behavior were of a public rather than an individual dimension". In that respect, a person may be guilty of disorderly conduct only when the situation extends beyond the exchange between the individual disputants to a point where it becomes a potential or immediate public problem. In assessing whether an act carries public ramifications, relevant factors to consider are the time and place of the episode under scrutiny; the nature and character of the conduct; the number of other people in the vicinity; whether they are drawn to the disturbance and, if so, the nature and number of those attracted; and any other relevant circumstances. The complicating factor in this case, which was a family offense proceeding rather than a criminal action, is that Family Court Act § 812 provides: "For purposes of this article, 'disorderly conduct' includes disorderly conduct not in a public place" (Family Ct Act §812[1] ). The husband contended that, even though the Family Court Act specifies that the conduct need not occur in a public place, the petitioner must nonetheless prove either an intent to cause public inconvenience, annoyance, or alarm, or the reckless creation of a risk thereof.
Justice Skelos pointed out that the First and Fourth Departments had held, albeit summarily, that lack of proof of an intent to cause, or reckless creation of a risk of causing, public ramifications, required dismissal of those branches of family offense petitions that charged the respondent with disorderly conduct. Matter of Janice M. v. Terrance J. ,96 A.D.3d 482, 945 N.Y.S.2d 693 (1st Dept); Matter of Brazie v. Zenisek, 99 A.D.3d 1258, 951 N.Y.S.2d 458(4th Dept). Here, the Court now held that even where the conduct at issue is alleged to have occurred in a private residence, in order for a petitioner to meet his or her burden of establishing the family offense of disorderly conduct, there must be a prima facie showing that the conduct was either intended to cause, or recklessly created a risk of causing, public inconvenience, annoyance, or alarm. The intent to cause, or recklessness in causing, public harm, is the mens rea of the offense of disorderly conduct. The plain language of the provision of Family Court Act § 812, in contrast, provides only that the conduct need not occur in a public place. The plain language of Family Court Act § 812 therefore pertains only to the actus reus of the offense-specifically, the place where it is committed-and does not speak to the mens rea of the offense. Indeed, since Family Court Act § 812 does not specify an alternative culpable mental state, if the mens rea provided for in the Penal Law were not applicable in family offense proceedings, it is unclear what the mens rea of this family offense would be.
The Court held that that the wife was required to prove that the husband's conduct was committed with the intent to cause, or recklessly posed a risk of causing, public inconvenience, annoyance, or alarm. The wife did not sustain that burden. Accordingly, the order of protection was reversed, on the facts, the petition was denied, and the proceeding is dismissed.

Providing Rabbinic Leadership – Case Study: The Rabbinical Assembly
The pre-modern rabbi generally could be found either at an academy of learning, often as a rosh yeshivah, or as a participant in the local bet din.
As part of the effort to prove Jewry worthy of modern-day citizenship ["emancipation"], Jews recast the rabbinate into a culturally more suitable clergy role, e.g., the spiritual leader within a specific congregation.
The synagogue rabbi became the conduit for explaining age-old Judaism into a relevant parlance [sermons, bulletin articles, newspaper essays, pamphlets, books, on social media, and in guidance in matters of Jewish law].
The congregational rabbinate was transformed into the vehicle for bringing the Jewish heritage into the awareness of children and teens [Synagogue-based Religious Schools and adolescent groups], and ultimately for Men's Clubs and Sisterhoods and Adult Education.
The rabbi also evolved into "the personal rabbi" of synagogue member families. The rabbi was to be called upon to personalize Jewish living by officiating at a congregant's life-cycle rites of passage: bestowing names at birth, bar mitzvah, weddings, and funerals.
The synagogue rabbi gradually assumed additional "pastoral roles," visiting ailing congregants, comforting the mourners, and providing counseling for folks navigating life's multi-fold challenges.
The rabbi additionally assumed leadership beyond the walls of the congregation: within his or her religious Movement, in dialogue with clergy of other faiths, and in engagement with civic leaders.
In sum, the congregational rabbi[s] provides a spiritual, educational, communal Vision for shaping the path for achieving the synagogue's Goals and overall Mission.
The modern rabbinate emerged into a widely respected position. Middle and upper middle-class Jews have sought to recruit and then hire the best qualified and most effective rabbinic leader[s] for their community.
As with the legal and medical professions, professional rabbinic association arose as a means of insuring proper credentials and maintaining standards of practice. The professional goals of the CCAR, the RA, the RCA, and the RRA followed this pattern.
Each "Assembly" has expanded the pool of practical rabbinic knowledge. Each has produced or endorsed its own liturgical publications. Each has offered pedagogic guidance for its rabbis to supervise elementary Jewish education, and to employ as sermonic resources. Each association has come to play a vital role within the Jewish Religious Movement it serves.
An example of this rabbinic professional associational impact has been the track record of the Rabbinical Assembly. The RA provides Conservative/Masorti rabbis with a sense of shared purpose via conventions, workshops and newsletters, Siddurim and Humashim, Jewish Law Responsa, publications offering Theological Reflections, as well as with in-service training and job placement. The RA and its membership continue to connect colleagues to one another in person, in print, electronically and through shared interests and personal needs.
Within the spectrum of Jewish Religious Pluralism-in-general, the RA plays a Centrist role, being both Traditional and Egalitarian. The RA has sought to bring a Both/And alternative to Either/Or thinking: Both Tradition and Change; Both Law [halacha] and Ethics [aggadah]; Both Zionism and strong Diaspora Jewish communities; Both Keruv Jewish Outreach to the Intermarried] and Endogamy [Helping Singles Who seek to Meet Jewish Spouses; Both Faith and Openness to Doubt].
The RA was founded in 1901 initially as the Alumni Association of the Rabbinical School of the Jewish Theological Seminary. In 1918, the association changed its name to the Rabbinical Assembly, opening itself up to rabbis ordained at institutions other than JTS. This intake has occurred when a rabbi ordained elsewhere served in an affiliated Conservative Movement institution and is recommended for admission by current RA members. Intake also occurs via the Movement's newest rabbinical schools – e.g., Seminario [Buenos Aires], Schechter Rabbinical School [Jerusalem], Ziegler [LA] and Frankel [Pottsdam, Germany], as it did during certain years of the Budapest Rabbinical Seminary.
During the past 120 years, the RA has grown substantially from barely a dozen JTS alumni into in international professional rabbinic association of 1,700 Conservative/Masorti Rabbis.
The largest concentration [1,358] of RA members currently reside in the USA. Many RA members live and serve elsewhere. Notably hundreds live in Israel. Including many retirees. 66 RA members live within the Latin American Region, 44 are present within Canada, 33 within Europe [33], 5 inside Australia and several in Asia and Africa.
The RA's membership encompasses diverse careers, moving beyond the congregational rabbinate alone. The RA includes 600 rabbis serving congregations; 100 serving in diverse educational positions; another 400 rabbis work in realms as diverse as chaplaincy, university positions, Jewish communal agencies; and so much more. Three hundred RA colleagues are retired, although many retirees still serve part-time in rabbinic endeavor. Other RA members remain connected even while doing work outside of the rabbinate.
The RA provides religious cohesion via its Committee on Jewish Law and Standards. The CJLS validates opinions [occasionally more than one] as responses to ongoing halachic dilemmas. Acknowledgment of diversity has been evidenced by the formation of RA Regions both inside the USA, as well as outside [e.g., Israel, Canada, Latin, America, and Europe]. Regional Law [Halachah] Committees have emerged when needed, notably in Israel, Latin America and Europe.
The RA also provides essential leadership for the allied institutions of the Conservative/Masorti Movement:
Congregational bodies – United Synagogue [North America] – Masorti Movement in Israel – Masorti Olami [Latin America, Europe, FSU, Australia, Asia, Africa]
Youth Movements – USY [North America], NOAM Israel, NOAM Olami, Ramah Camps. Solomon Schechter Day Schools, Hannaton Educational Center
Young Adults – Marom Olami, NATIV, Conservative Yeshiva, Reshet Ramah, Masorti On Campus
Academic Centers – JTS, American Jewish University, Seminario, Schechter Institute
Zionist Activities – Mercaz Chapters in the USA, Canada and 13 other countries
Auxiliaries – Women's League for Conservative Judaism, Federation of Jewish Men's Clubs
The RA as well as Conservative/Masorti rabbis take leadership roles in Jewish Communal Life, for example:
The Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations
The Jewish Agency for Israel
Keren Kayemet LeYisrael [JNF]
The World Zionist Organization
IJCIC – the International Jewish Committee on Interreligious Consultations
UJA-Federation
As noted by a Conservative Movement historian Pamela S. Nadell, "The new rabbinic ideal draws upon the traditional roles of the rabbi as student, scholar, saint and interpreter of Jewish law and tradition… But it also expects the … rabbi to be an educator and administrator, the director and programmer for his or her multi-faceted congregation, and a spokesman for the local and national Jewish community… The result has been the transformation of the … rabbinate … into a distinguished and respected profession."
Rabbinical associations like the Rabbinical Assembly have played the decisive role in responding to constant alterations in the institution of the synagogue, in global Jewish religious movements and in aspects of Jewish life-in-general. We live in challenging times. Inevitably, the roles of the rabbinate will continue to evolve. Supporting and shaping these necessary changes will be the Mission of professional associations, like the RA.
As affirmed in the RA Strategic Plan, its professional rabbinic association mission is:
Supporting and Strengthening Rabbis
Being a Force for Civility, Pluralism and Good in the World
Creating a Modern 21st Century Organization
