The present war has been engendered by imperialism. Capitalism has already achieved that highest stage. Society's productive forces and the magnitudes of capital have outgrown the narrow limits of the individual national states. Hence the striving on the part of the Great Powers to enslave other nations and to seize colonies as sources of raw material and spheres of investment of capital. The whole world is merging into a single economic organism; it has been carved up among a handful of Great Powers. The objective conditions for socialism have fully matured, and the present war is a war of the capitalists for privileges and monopolies that might delay the downfall of capitalism.
The socialists, who seek to liberate labour from the yoke of capital and who defend the world-wide solidarity of the workers, are struggling against any kind of oppression and inequality of nations. When the bourgeoisie was a progressive class, and the overthrow of feudalism, absolutism and oppression by other nations stood on the historical order of the day, the socialists, as invariably the most consistent and most resolute of democrats, recognised "defence of the fatherland" in the meaning implied by those aims, and in that meaning alone. Today too, should a war of the oppressed nations against the oppressor Great Powers break out in the east of Europe or in the colonies, the socialists' sympathy would be wholly with the oppressed.
The war of today, however, has been engendered by an entirely different historical period, in which the bourgeoisie, from a progressive class, has turned reactionary. With both groups of belligerents, this war is a war of slaveholders, and is designed to preserve and extend slavery; it is a war for the repartitioning of colonies, for the "right" to oppress other nations, for privileges and monopolies for Great-Power capital, and for the perpetuation of wage slavery by splitting up the workers of the different countries and crushing them through reaction. That is why, on the part of both warring groups, all talk about "defence of the fatherland" is deception of the people by the bourgeoisie. Neither the victory of any one group nor a return to the status quo can do anything either to protect the freedom of most countries in the world from imperialist oppression by a handful of Great Powers, or to ensure that the working class keep even its present modest cultural gains. The period of a relatively peaceful capitalism has passed, never to return. Imperialism has brought the working class unparalleled intensification of the class struggle, want, and unemployment, a higher cost of living, and the strengthening of oppression by the trusts, of militarism, and the political reactionaries, who are raising their heads in all countries, even the freest.
In reality, the "defence of the fatherland" slogan in the present war is tantamount to a defence of the "right" of one's "own" national bourgeoisie to oppress other nations; it is in fact a national liberal-labour policy, an alliance between a negligible section of the workers and their "own" national bourgeoisie, against the mass of the proletarians and the exploited. Socialists who pursue such a policy are in fact chauvinists, social-chauvinists. The policy of voting for war credits, of joining governments, of Burgfrieden, and the like, is a betrayal of socialism. Nurtured by the conditions of the "peaceful", period which has now come to an end, opportunism has now matured to a degree that calls for a break with socialism; it has become an open enemy to the proletariat's movement for liberation. The working class cannot achieve its historic aims without waging a most resolute struggle against both forthright opportunism and social-chauvinism (the majorities in the Social-Democratic parties of France, Germany and Austria; Hyndman, the Fabians and the trade unionists in Britain; Rubanovich, Plekhanov and Nasha Zarya in Russia, etc.) and the so-called Centre, which has surrendered the Marxist stand to the chauvinists.
Unanimously adopted by socialists of the entire world in anticipation of that very kind of war among the Great Powers which has now broken out, the Basle Manifesto of 1912 distinctly recognised the imperialist and reactionary nature of that war, declared it criminal for workers of one country to shoot at workers of another country, and proclaimed the approach of the proletarian revolution in connection with that very war. Indeed, the war is creating a revolutionary situation, is engendering revolutionary sentiments and unrest in the masses, is arousing in the finer part of the proletariat a realisation of the perniciousness of opportunism, and is intensifying the struggle against it. The masses' growing desire for peace expresses their disappointment, the defeat of the bourgeois lie regarding the defence of the fatherland, and the awakening of their revolutionary consciousness. In utilising that temper for their revolutionary agitation, and not shying away in that agitation from considerations of the defeat of their "own" country, the socialists will not deceive the people with the hope that, without the revolutionary overthrow of the present-day governments, a possibility exists of a speedy democratic peace, which will be durable in some degree and will preclude any oppression of nations, a possibility of disarmament, etc. Only the social revolution of the proletariat opens the way towards peace and freedom for the nations.
The imperialist war is ushering in the era of the social revolution. All the objective conditions of recent times have put the proletariat's revolutionary mass struggle on the order of the day. It is the duty of socialists, while making use of every means of the working class's legal struggle, to subordinate each and every of those means to this immediate and most important task, develop the workers' revolutionary consciousness, rally them in the international revolutionary struggle, promote and encourage any revolutionary action, and do everything possible to turn the imperialist war between the peoples into a civil war of the oppressed classes against their oppressors, a war for the expropriation of the class of capitalists, for the conquest of political power by the proletariat, and the realisation of socialism.


Buzz Kolbe is running for the Collin College board of trustees Place 4 seat. He is running against Greg Gomel.
Adrian Rodriguez, who has held the seat since 2013, said he will not be running for re-election.
Community Impact Newspaper sent Kolbe a set of questions about his candidacy. His answers have been edited for style.
Having observed the growth and impact of Collin College and the educational opportunities for our citizens during the past 20 years, I have always been a proud supporter of Collin College. Now with the master plan in place and the $600 million bond approved to expand and provide access to more residents of Collin County, I feel it is the right time to step up my service to Collin College as a trustee. Last year it was an honor to participate as a member of the Collin College committee of 100 to advocate the bond approval.
As an educator, instructor and trainer, I have personally observed the significance and results of education. Collin College provides opportunities for advancement and is often a key factor for the achievement and success of individuals and improves the quality of life for families in our community. Collin College is committed to developing skills, strengthening character and challenging the intellect for more than 55,000 credit and continuing education students, which align[s]with my desire to serve as a trustee for Collin College.
With active service, past and present, serving on more than 15 nonprofit boards, including five board chair positions, I have learned the importance of fiscal responsibility; board governance; and most importantly board ethics, which prepare me well to serve as a trustee for Collin College.
I have learned the value of community engagement by participating and facilitating many Collin County community leadership programs. With active involvement with local chambers of commerce, city councils, independent school districts and interaction with many elected officials, I believe I understand what will continue to make Collin College successful, and chart the course for continued innovation and impact.
Being engaged and committed to the betterment of our community since 2000, I believe I am well-prepared to serve as a Collin College trustee. My direct involvement with Collin County municipalities includes Allen, Fairview, Frisco, McKinney, Plano and Wylie. With this broad involvement I will not be focused on just one single city interest; the focus will be for the best interest for the Collin College investment in every community in Collin County.
The trustees of Collin College must provide oversight to ensure the safety of all students, faculty and administrators. My belief is when there is a majority vote to either approve or disapprove a policy, there must be 100 percent board endorsement and support. Since the recent majority vote was to approve the school marshal program, as a trustee, I will support and be an advocate of the program.
Collin College has historically and successfully addressed the workforce needs for our community. With the master plan in place and recent bond approval, Collin College will continue to expand and further impact our workforce needs. A past example is the foresight to address the statewide nursing shortage. Collin College responded by building the Cary A. Israel Health Sciences Center, which houses the nursing and health sciences programs.
Currently, Collin College is further addressing workforce needs by expanding occupational and workforce-related programming, enhancing career development services and increasing credential completion in key sectors. By partnering with corporations and other local business entities, including government, nonprofit and independent school districts, Collin College will continue to assess and be responsive to our workforce needs.
As a Collin College trustee, I will be committed to focus on Collin College remaining affordable, accessible and adaptable.
Affordable: Collin College offers the lowest tuition in the state of Texas and has the second-lowest local tax rates of the 50 community colleges in Texas.
Accessible: Collin College continues to build state-of-the-art facilities in locations to serve the community needs and growth. These include a new Wylie Campus, a Collin Technical Center in Allen, a Farmersville Center and Celina Center.
Adaptable: Collin College continues to address the workforce needs by being alert to current and future needs and trends. For example, the new Collin Technical Center will address workforce needs by providing relevant curriculum and certificate programs.
Serving and giving back to the community is part of my DNA.
As a graduate of Leadership Plano Class 18, (2000-01) I was able to get quickly engaged in our community after moving to Plano from Denver, Colorado, in 1998.
Since that time, I have served on the Leadership Plano board, including board chair for two years and executive director for four years. In addition, past and present board service include CITY House, the Plano Symphony Orchestra, CASA of Collin County (board chair), the Association of Texas Leadership Programs (board chair), Arts of Collin County, the International Coach Federation-North Texas (board chair) and EmbraceTX.
I am a member of Christ Church Plano and served as a Vestry member (leadership team) for four years and have been to Haiti and Peru for church mission trips. I am also a member of the North Texas Pioneers Rotary.
Professionally, I started my own business, LeadingWIN LLC, in 1999. My focus is coaching and leadership development with an emphasis on leadership presence, including communication skills, etiquette and emotional intelligence. One aspect of my business, and true passion, is to train and coach future community leaders. I am the current program director for Leadership Allen-Fairview and a steering committee member and facilitator for Leadership McKinney and Leadership Wylie. Many of the participants now serve as city council members, ISD trustees, nonprofit board members and executive directors.
As a candidate for Collin College trustee you will learn that I am qualified and sincere about this opportunity and will do my best, if elected, to represent the best interests of Collin College and Collin County. I will be honored to receive your vote on May 4, 2019!

Governor's Advisory Committee on Employee Health and Safety Releases Findings
An Advisory Committee created by Governor Deval Patrick to study state work-place risks and dangers released a landmark report (click to view) with key recommendations to reduce injury, illness and deaths for the Commonwealth's Executive Branch employees. During a State House briefing, state labor unions, safety advocates and members of the Patrick Administration applauded the work of the Advisory Committee and pledged support for a permanent framework of health and safety protections for state employees.
Governor Patrick issued executive order 511 in 2009 to address health and safety protections for Commonwealth employees because public workers are not covered by federal Occupational Safety and Health standards and rules.
"The Patrick Administration's goal is to reduce the potential for workplace injuries and illnesses and the associated costs the Commonwealth has to pay to deal with these risks," said Rachel Kaprielian, Secretary of Labor and Workforce Development. "Through the work of the committee, we found that one of the best ways to do that is by ensuring that nationally-recognized worker protection standards become minimum standards of practice for state workers."
Joe Dorant, president, Massachusetts Organization of State Engineers & Scientists, points out, "State employees work every day to keep the Commonwealth's air, water, environment, health and infrastructure safe. And yet, these same dedicated professionals have not had the equivalent on-the-job safety protections as private workers. EO511 is a critical first step to building a strong foundation for permanent protections for state employees through legislation."
In addition to creating the Advisory Committee, Governor Patrick also called for a centralized infrastructure in state government which put a Health and Safety Coordinator in each Secretariat, set up 90 joint labor and management committees on health and safety to ensure all state employees were represented and improved the collection and use of injury and illness data.
These committees conducted agency by agency assessments to identify hazards in the workplace and directed a gap analysis comparing measures currently in place and national safety standards for serious worker risks such as chemical hazards, confined space, electrical hazards and falls from heights.
Major report findings include:
Between FY'10 and Fry'12, 3,000 state workers experienced job related injuries series enough to require time off from work and four workers lost their lives.
The hazards causing the greatest number of these injuries included violence assaults, falls from heights and lifting injuries.
The top three contributors to lost time claims, consistent with the significant level of hazard associated with jobs workers perform were:
In EOHHS, health and human service workers are at high risk for assaults by patients/clients and for ergonomic injuries from lifting/moving patients or clients.
Within EOPPS, correction officers are also at high risk of assault by inmates.
MassDOT employees and state police officers are at high risk of being struck by motor vehicles while working on roadways.
Maintenance personnel and equipment operators at MassDOT have many serious risks including electrocution, falls from heights and usage of heavy equipment.
EO511 achieved its core goal of building a health and safety infrastructure throughout state agencies, through the coordinated structure of the Advisory Committee, Coordinators within each agency and labor-management health and safety committees.
Through EO511, many committees conducted immediate correction of identified gaps in health and safety practices and conducted planning for future corrections where more complex response or fiscal planning is needed.
Among the most significant recommendations in the report is the creation of an OSHA-type program of training and technical assistance enforcement for state government using federal standards and making permanent the work of agency health and safety coordinators and committees. Representative Thomas P. Conroy, co-chair of the Joint Committee on Labor and Workforce Development has filed legislation that would codify many of the recommendations in the report
"Protecting the health and safety of our public employees is a top priority for me," said Rep Conroy. "I am proud to support the efforts of Governor Patrick, the state's labor unions, and safety advocacy groups, and I will work hard to ensure this important piece of legislation is signed into law soon."
The Committee passed the bill in March and it is expected to move to the House Ways and Means.
"EO511 was a groundbreaking first step in addressing the serious hazards that state employees face and documenting the safety measures needed to address them," said Marcy Goldstein-Gelb, executive director of the Massachusetts Coalition for Occupational Safety and Health and a member of the EO511 Advisory Committee. "Through legislation, we can make sure that these safety measures are institutionalized across state agencies to prevent needless injuries, illness and death."

March saw a spike in job growth across US and Canada in many sectors. 40,000 new job creations in Canada and a dip to the unemployment rate of 7.1%. The US added 215,000 jobs with a current jobless rate of 5%.
Despite this growth, manufacturing suffered significant job loss across both countries. 29,000 lost in states and 32,000 in Canada. These figures alone add to the probability of a slow and long economic recovery.

England: The Modern Monarchy

Cabinet papers 1994-95: How the republic was doomed without a directly elected president
Queen Elizabeth signs the visitors' book at Parliament House, while Prime Minister Paul Keating and Parliament House officials look on in February 1992.
National Archives of Australia
Frank Bongiorno, Australian National University
Not long after defeat in the 1999 referendum, Malcolm Turnbull, a leading republican who had chaired the Republic Advisory Committee (RAC) appointed by Paul Keating, was licking his wounds.
"We must not let the desperate desire not to be 'elitist' lead us into imagining that the voters always get it right," he reflected. "They don't. Sometimes nations vote for the wrong people or the wrong propositions … There is nothing disrespectful in questioning the judgement of 55% of the Australian population."
Like many republicans, Turnbull laid much blame at John Howard's feet. But cabinet papers released today by the National Archives of Australia suggest a very different story: the republic was doomed from the moment the Keating government rejected the idea of a directly elected president.
Further reading: Cabinet papers 1994-95: The Keating government begins to craft its legacy
The submission, considered by cabinet's Republic Committee on March 22, 1995 (and by cabinet on June 6, 1995) warned:
Public opinion polls … suggest that any mechanism for appointing a head of state short of direct election will be controversial.
The document, unusually couched in the first person with Keating as narrator, is haunted by the ghosts of 1975. The risk of direct election, it explained, was:
… that the head of state might be tempted to assume, or presume to take moral authority from, a popular national mandate … and exercise the powers of that office in a manner which could bring the office into competition with the government of the day.
Here, in a nutshell, was the problem republicans faced. They wanted to present Australia's constitutional arrangements as deficient enough to justify reform, yet they refused to countenance change that might lead to any but cosmetic changes. A bunch of politicians wanted to prevent an outbreak of politics.
Direct election of a president, we are told:
… would in time fundamentally change the character of Australian Government and could well move our parliamentary democracy towards an executive presidency, where power is no longer diffuse and representative and where substantial national power is vested unalterably in one person for a set period.
"This matter," the submission went on to explain, "needs to be handled sensitively so that public understanding increases as the debate continues".
In other words, it was the public's ignorance that led it to support direct election. If only citizens better understood their political system, they would realise that selection by a joint sitting of parliament, with a two-thirds majority required to endorse a prime ministerial nomination, would make it impossible for a partisan figure to become president.
Prime Minister Paul Keating makes a parliamentary statement on the republic in 1995.
The paradox was that election by politicians was supposedly needed to avoid a politicians' republic. Years passed, but no-one ever found a way to work through this conundrum of the republicans' making. In the meantime, Keating faced another problem: even if parliamentary selection was accepted, what should the powers of that president be?
The governor-general had many roles and powers, some of which the Constitution defined. Some were exercised by convention on ministerial advice, and some were in a third, murky and controversial category known as reserve powers. The submission dismissed complete codification of the reserve powers as politically impossible:
An acrimonious debate on this issue would have the potential to derail the whole republic initiative.
It then went on to consider other ways of dealing with the problem. Eventually, the full cabinet would opt in June 1995 for a formula to be included in the constitution asserting that the president would "exercise his or her functions in accordance with the constitutional conventions which related to the exercise of the powers and performance of the functions of the governor-general".
However, the conventions would not be regarded as "rules of law", nor would the provision prevent "further development of these conventions".
The attention that the reserve powers received underlines how powerfully 1975 preyed on the mind of Keating, who had been a young, recently appointed minister in the Whitlam government at the time of the dismissal. He pointed to the risk that:
… without codification, every half century or century the nation could suffer a wilful or misguided head of state who exercises political judgement against the interests of one of the parties or without due regard to historical conventions.
The priority was to avoid another Kerr. Indeed, he is even mentioned by name, as one whom few thought "benign to begin with – and he did not have to run the gauntlet of parliamentary approval, but he did suffer subsequent admonition by a large section of the country".
Future presidents, unlike Kerr, would be constrained through their manner of selection by a super-majority of the House of Representatives and Senate sitting as one. The president would need to have the confidence of both parties, and so was likely to be non-partisan and of high calibre. However, if they proved "misguided or aberrant", they could be removed via a two-thirds majority of a joint sitting convened by a simple majority vote of either chamber.
The psychology of this minimalist position is epitomised in how the submission dealt with the issue of what to call the republic.
It opted for keeping "Commonwealth of Australia" – not, it seems, because there was anything valuable or resonant in this title, but because it "would reflect the (minor) extent of the changes sought to the Australian system of government and would avoid the need for numerous consequential changes to the Constitution and other areas of official life". An example of this would be the national anthem's reference to "this Commonwealth".
Leaving aside the absurdity of the last point, to argue for a change while also telling people that little would change was a balancing act beyond the republicans' powers. At a time of populist revolt – the Hanson outbreak occurred in 1996 – it became even easier to cultivate hostility to "elites" out of touch with ordinary Australians.
I voted "yes" in 1999. I would vote "no" today if offered a reheated minimalist republic.
The arguments in the cabinet submission suggest a failure of imagination and, more seriously, of trust. They grossly exaggerate the fragility of Australian parliamentary government, which is sufficiently entrenched to avoid the spectre of a well-designed scheme for direct election leading to a US-style executive presidency.
Australian Republican Movement chairman Malcolm Turnbull speaks after the referendum was lost in 1999.
The late historian John Hirst, the Australian Republican Movement's Victorian convener in the 1990s and an RAC member appointed by Keating, warned a Canberra ARM audience in 2011 that parliamentary selection would never win public support. The ARM therefore should support direct election.
Hirst also warned against a consultative two-step process that invited voters to consider the principle of a republic, followed by a further vote for a specific model.
The first of these votes would permit a potent "no" campaign around such tried and true themes as change is dangerous, republics are bad, we already have an Australian head of state, politicians cannot be trusted, and voters should not issue a blank cheque.
The recent same-sex marriage survey provides Hirst's warning with ample vindication. Opponents of a republic would be no more likely to campaign directly for the monarchy and against a republic than opponents of same-sex marriage campaigned explicitly against homosexuality. Red herrings would be the order of the day.
But in contrast to same-sex marriage, if the principle of a republic were to be defeated in a popular vote, like Sleeping Beauty it would have a restful century or so while it waited for a reviving kiss from a handsome prince.

England: Charles II Crowned in Westminster Abbey
Following the death of Oliver Cromwell in 1658, political events led eventually to the restoration of the English monarchy and the ascension of Charles II to the throne of England, Scotland and Ireland. His father, Charles I, was executed by Oliver Cromwell at Whitehall on the 30th January 1649 towards the end of the English Civil War and Charles fled the country. With the death of Cromwell and the collapse of the English Commonwealth, Charles was invited to return to England and did so with great public fanfare on the 29th May 1660. He was crowned in Westminster Abbey on the 23rd April 1661.

Your mind is stronger than any drug, than any medicine because every part of your body, your muscles even your immune system responds to your thinking, your beliefs and your emotions.
Placebo actually means the physician that lives in you. It means the physician that lives inside your body that can dispense any drug in any amount at any time, free of charge, but you have to know how to activate it.
Many doctors have acknowledged that more than 75% of human ailments are functional rather than organic, this means that the function of an organ or body part has been disturbed by the nervous system's reaction to negative ideas and beliefs held in the subconscious mind. You cannot separate the mind from the body. Doctors don't have time to change beliefs. Doctors are looking to change symptoms and I am changing your beliefs, which will change your symptoms by causing chemical changes in your blood which ultimately controls every cell in your body. What you think and believe is actually turned into chemistry that goes through your body and controls the activity of your cells, by changing your thoughts and beliefs you actually change your biology.
There is a doctor, a chemist within you that can make the chemicals your body needs to heal.
My method communicates with this 'inner chemist', your subconscious mind by activating your body's ability to heal and repair itself.

Roger Federer flew past Steve Darcis Thursday night in New York, making light work of his second round match at the 2015 US Open. The 5-time champion needed just 80 minutes to see off the Belgian's challenge with a 6-1 6-2 6-1 victory to seal his place in the third round on Saturday. The 34-year-old Swiss has now successfully held serve in his past 72 service games. Federer debuted a "white knight" outfit, a different look compared to his usual dark colored outfits for night matches. In the blur of a match, the Swiss hit 11 aces, winning 86% of points on his first serve and fired 46 winners in an all out attack approach. That's a tongue twister. Continuing his aggressiveness to come to forward, Federer won 19 of 29 points at net and converted 7 of 19 break point opportunities.
On cue with ESPN commentary late in the first set, the 17-time grand slam champion rushed to net while returning, setting up an easy overhead – "sabr" is the term (sneaky attack by Roger) – adding a new dimension to the Swiss maestro's game at this stage of his career.
Federer faces Philip Kohlschreiber in the third round at the US Open on Saturday.

text:
Now, if it be so [that a Noachide is bidden to sanctify the Divine Name], he should not have said this?1 — The one is private, the other public.2
Rab Judah said in Rab's name: A man once conceived a passion for a certain woman,3 and his heart was consumed by his burning desire [his life being endangered thereby]. When the doctors were consulted, they said, 'His only cure is that she shall submit.' Thereupon the Sages said: 'Let him die rather than that she should yield.' Then [said the doctors]; 'let her stand nude before him;' [they answered] 'sooner let him die'. 'Then', said the doctors, 'let her converse with him from behind a fence'. 'Let him die,' the Sages replied 'rather than she should converse with him from behind a fence.' Now R. Jacob b. Idi and R. Samuel b. Nahmani dispute therein. One said that she was a married woman; the other that she was unmarried. Now, this is intelligible on the view, that she was a married woman, but on the latter, that she was unmarried, why such severity? — R. Papa said: Because of the disgrace to her family. R. Aha the son of R. Ika said: That the daughters of Israel may not be immorally dissolute. Then why not marry her? — Marriage would not assuage his passion, even as R. Isaac said: Since the destruction of the Temple, sexual pleasure has been taken [from those who practise it lawfully] and given to sinners, as it is written, Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.4
MISHNAH. THE FOLLOWING ARE BURNT: HE WHO COMMITS INCEST WITH A WOMAN AND HER DAUGHTER, AND A PRIEST'S ADULTEROUS DAUGHTER. THERE IS INCLUDED IN A WOMAN AND HER DAUGHTER' HIS OWN DAUGHTER, HIS DAUGHTER'S DAUGHTER, HIS SON'S DAUGHTER, HIS WIFE'S DAUGHTER AND THE DAUGHTER OF HER DAUGHTER OR SON, HIS MOTHER-IN-LAW, HER MOTHER, AND HIS FATHER-IN-LAW'S MOTHER.
GEMARA. The Mishnah does not state, 'He who commits incest with a woman whose daughter he has married', but 'HE WHO COMMITS INCEST WITH A WOMAN AND HER DAUGHTER'; this proves that both are forbidden. Who are they then? His mother-in-law and her mother. Then the Mishnah further states, THERE IS INCLUDED IN 'A WOMAN AND HER DAUGHTER'; this proves that the first are explicit and the others derived.5 Now this agrees with Abaye,6 who maintains that they7 differ as to the text from which the law is derived; hence the Mishnah is taught in accordance with R. Akiba's view.8 But on Raba's view, that they differ about his mother-in-law after [his wife's] death,9 with whom does the Mishnah agree? — Raba can answer you: Read [in the Mishnah] He who commits incest with a woman whose daughter he has married.
THERE IS INCLUDED IN 'A WOMAN AND HER DAUGHTER HIS MOTHER-IN-LAW, HER MOTHER, AND HIS FATHER-IN-LAW'S MOTHER.
In Abaye's view,10 since the Mishnah desires to state — HIS FATHER-IN-LAW'S MOTHER, it adds HIS MOTHER-IN-LAW AND HER MOTHER. On Raba's view,11 because the Mishnah must teach 'HIS FATHER-IN-LAW'S MOTHER', and 'HIS MOTHER-IN-LAW'S MOTHER', 'HIS MOTHER-IN-LAW' too is mentioned.
Whence do we know this? — For our Rabbis taught: And if a man take a woman and her mother [it is wickedness: they shall be burnt with fire, both he and they.]12 This law refers only to a woman and her mother. Whence do I derive it for a woman and her daughter, or her daughter's daughter, or her son's daughter? The word zimmah [wickedness] occurs here, and is also written elsewhere:13 Just as there, her daughter, her daughter's daughter and her son's daughter [are meant by zimmah], so here too her daughter, her daughter's daughter, and her son's daughter [are included in the punishment of burning decreed for incest with them]. Whence do we know that males are as females? 'Wickedness' [zimmah] is stated here, and also elsewhere; just as there, males are as females, so here too. Whence do we know that the lower is as the upper? 'Wickedness' [zimmah] is stated here, and also elsewhere: just as there, the lower is as the upper, so here too; and just as here the upper is as the lower, so there too.14
The Master said: 'Whence do we know that males are as females?' What is meant by this? Shall we say that her son's daughter is equally forbidden as her daughter's daughter?15 But these are simultaneously derived!16 Again, if it means that his father-in-law's mother is as his mother-in-law's mother:17 but seeing that the latter is as yet unproven, why demonstrate that the former is equal thereto?18
For thereby he tacitly concurred in Naaman's proposal.
Naaman was to simulate idolatry in the Temple of Rimmon, where no Jews were present. This, according to the statement on 74b, is transgression in private. The problem however is whether he must publicly sanctify the Divine Name, i.e. in the presence of Jews.
Lit., 'set his eyes on a certain woman.'
Prov. IX, 17.
The statement that a number of other women are included in the first cannot be literal, for in fact the meaning of 'a woman and her daughter' cannot be extended to include, e.g., his own daughter or his son's daughter. Hence it must mean that 'a woman and her daughter' are explicitly stated in the Bible, whilst the others are included as derivations from these two. Now since the wording of the Mishnah shows that both the first two are forbidden and that the only relation explicitly forbidden on pain of burning is his mother-in-law, it follows that 'a woman and her daughter' must mean his mother-in-law ('daughter') and her mother. And these are regarded as explicitly forbidden.
V. infra 76b.
R. Akiba and R. Ishmael.
Who holds that the mother of his mother-in-law is explicitly prohibited.
But as to his mother-in-law's mother there is a common agreement that the prohibition is only derived and not explicitly stated.
That burning for the first two is explicitly decreed, so that they cannot be included in 'a woman etc.' but are identical therewith.
That only his mother-in-law is explicitly forbidden on pain of death by fire, but not her mother.
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter, neither shalt thou take her son's daughter, or her daughter's daughter, to uncover her nakedness; for they are her near kinswomen; it is wickedness, [H] (Lev. XVIII, 17).
This is explained in the Gemara.
The meaning being, the issue of males is prohibited just as that of females.
From the gezarah shawah of zimmah.
Thus teaching that incest with both is punished by fire.
At this stage, nothing has been adduced to shew that incest with his mother-in-law's mother is thus punished, for 'a woman' has been translated literally. Consequently, only his mother-in-law is forbidden in this verse.
— Abaye said, This is what is meant: Whence do we know that his issue is as hers?1 The word 'zimmah' occurs here, and is also written elsewhere etc. But 'zimmah' is not written in connection with his issue?2 Raba answered: R. Isaac b. Abudimi said unto me: We learn identity of law from the fact that 'hennah' [they] occurs in two related passages, and likewise 'zimmah' [wickedness] in two.3
The Master said: 'Whence do we know that the lower is as the upper?' What is meant by 'lower' and 'upper'? Shall we say that her son's daughter and her daughter's daughter ['lower'] are as her own daughter ['upper']?4 But are not [all three] simultaneously derived?5 Again, if it means that his father-in-law's mother and his mother-in-law's mother are as his mother-in-law: then instead of 'the lower is as the upper', the Tanna should have said 'the upper is as the lower'?6 — Read, 'the upper is as the lower'. If so, [how explain] wickedness [zimmah] is stated here, and also elsewhere'; seeing that their very prohibition is as yet unknown, how can 'zimmah' be written in connection therewith?7 Abaye answered: This is its meaning: Whence do we know that the third generation above is treated as the third below?8 — The word 'zimmah' is written in connection with both the lower generation9 and the upper;10 just as in the lower, the third generation is forbidden also,11 so in the upper too;12 and just as the lower is assimilated to the upper in respect of punishment, so is the upper to the lower in respect of formal prohibition.13 R. Ashi said: After all, it is as taught:14 What then is the meaning of 'lower'? Lower in [gravity of the] prohibition.15
Now, if so,16 then just as her [i.e. his wife's] maternal grandmother is forbidden [to him], so is his maternal grandmother?17 — Abaye answered: The Writ sayeth, [The nakedness of thy father, or the nakedness of thy mother, shalt thou not uncover'] she is thy mother — 18 teaching: thou canst punish for [incest with] his mother, but not with his mother's mother.
Raba said: Whether we maintain, 'judge from it in its entirety', or19 'judge from it, and place it on its own basis', this could not be deduced.20 For on the view, 'judge from it in its entirety', [the deduction would proceed thus:] Just as her [his wife's] maternal grandmother is forbidden [to him], so is his maternal grandmother forbidden. [Then carrying the analogy] to its uttermost, just as in her case [i.e., incest with the former] is punished by fire so in his case [i.e., incest with the latter] is punished by fire. But on the view21 that burning is severer [than stoning]. This analogy can be refuted. [Thus:] Why is her case [forbidden]?22 Because her [his wife's] mother is similarly forbidden.23 But can you say the same in his case, seeing that his mother is forbidden [only] on pain of stoning!24 Moreover, his mother is forbidden on pain of stoning: shall his mother's mother be forbidden on pain of burning!25 Further, just as in her [his wife's] case, you have drawn no distinction between her mother and her mother's mother [both being forbidden on pain of burning], so in his, no distinction must be drawn between his mother and his mother's mother.26 And on the view that stoning is severer, the analogy cannot be deduced because of this last difficulty.27 Whilst on the view, 'judge from it and place it on its own basis,' [the deduction would proceed thus:] Just as her [his wife's] maternal grandmother is forbidden [to him], so is his maternal grandmother forbidden. But 'place it on its own basis', thus: in the former case the punishment is burning; but in the latter, stoning, the penalty which we find prescribed for incest with his mother. Now, on the view that burning is severer, this can be refuted,
I.e., that his daughter, his son's daughter, or daughter's daughter by a mistress are forbidden to him on pain of burning just as wife's daughter, her son's daughter, and her daughter's daughter. For Lev. XVIII, 17 (cited on p. 508 n. 5) refers to the offspring of marriage, not of seduction or outrage. On this interpretation, 'male' refers to his issue, 'female' to his wife's.
For that his issue is at all forbidden is derived not from Lev. XVIII, 17, but from Lev. XVIII, 10: The nakedness of thy son's daughter, or thy daughter's daughter, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover: for their's (hennah [H]) is thine own nakedness
Supra 51a. In Lev. XVIII, 10 it is stated. The nakedness of thy son's daughter, or of thy daughter's daughter, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover; for they (hennah) are thine own nakedness. Further, it is written (ibid. XVIII, 17): Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter, neither shalt thou take her son's daughter, or her daughter's daughter, to uncover her nakedness; for they (hennah) are her near kinswomen; it is wickedness (zimmah, [H]). Since hennah occurs in these two passages, they are identified with each other, and zimmah in the second passage, referring to her issue, is understood to be implicit in the first too, which refers to his issue. Then the first passage is further identified with Lev. XX, 14: And if a man take a wife and her mother, it is wickedness (zimmah): They shalt be burnt with fire: thus we derive burning for incest with his issue.
So that 'lower' and 'upper' refer to the order of generations: 'lower', the third generation in the downward direction, viz. her son's daughter and her daughter's daughter; 'upper', one generation above them, viz., her daughter.
As explained in that very passage.
For the older generation is always referred to as the upper.
Cf. p. 509 n. 4. At this stage, no verse has been adduced at all to show that his father-in-law's mother or his mother-in-law's mother are forbidden.
I.e., just as his daughter's daughter and his son's daughter (the third generation below) are forbidden, so likewise his father-in-law's mother and mother-in-law's mother, the third generation above.
Lev. XVIII, 17.
lbid. XX, 14.
I.e., his son's daughter and daughter.
I.e., though only the second generation is explicitly interdicted, viz., his mother-in-law, the third is included too, viz., his mother-in-law's mother and his father-in-law's mother.
For in Lev. XVIII, 10, where the third lower generation is forbidden, nothing is said about punishment, which is derived from Lev. XX, 14, as stated above. On the other hand, in Lev. XX, 14, which is made to include the third generation above, though only explicitly stating the second, no formal prohibition is given. This in turn is derived from Lev. XVIII, 10. (Both are derived through the medium of Lev. XVIII, 17, the connecting link between the other two.) On Abaye's interpretation it is necessary to amend the Baraitha from 'and the lower is as the upper', to 'that the upper is as the lower etc.'
I.e., no emendation is necessary.
I.e., 'the upper' or higher prohibition is that of his mother-in-law, his more immediate relation, whilst the prohibition of her mother, as also of his father-in-law's mother, is regarded as 'lower', i.e., weaker, as they are a generation further removed. Hence this is its meaning: Whence do we know that his mother-in-law's mother and his father-in-law's mother, whose relationships are lower (i.e., further removed, and consequently weaker) than his mother-in-law's, are treated as his mother-in-law? — It is derived from his wife's daughter: just as in the latter case, the 'lower' relation is as the 'upper' (stronger), i.e., his wife's daughter's daughter is as his wife's daughter, though more distant; so here too, his mother-in-law's mother is as she herself. This deduction is in respect of equal punishment. The second clause is explained by R. Ashi as Abaye, as referring to the prohibition.
This reverts to the explanation of 'whence do we know that males are regarded as females', as meaning, 'whence do we know that his relations are regarded as hers?'
Whereas in Yeb. 21a the prohibition of the latter is regarded as Rabbinical only, whilst the former is Biblical.
Lev. XVIII, 7.
Lit., 'whether according to the one (Tanna) who says … or whether according to the one who says etc.'
A verse is unnecessary, because his maternal grandmother could not be deduced from the gezerah shawah based on zimmah, whatever view be held on the scope of a gezerah shawah. There are two views on this. One is that the identity of law taught by a gezerah shawah must hold good in all respects, so that the case deduced is equal to the premise in all points; this is called 'judge from it and from (all) of it'. An opposing view is that the analogy holds good only in respect of the main question at issue, but that thereafter, the case deduced may diverge from its premise. This is called, 'judge from it, but place it on its own basis', i.e., confine the analogy to the main question, not to the subsidiary points.
Lit., 'but according to the one Tanna who says that, etc.'
I.e., the reason that his wife's maternal grandmother is forbidden on pain of burning.
Hence, since the prohibition of his wife's mother is so severe, it is natural that it should extend to her maternal grandmother too.
Surely not! Since the prohibition is weaker, its punishment being more lenient, its extent too may be more limited, and not include his maternal grandmother.
Surely there cannot be a severer punishment for the latter, a more distant relative, than for the former. Yet if the latter be derived at all by this gezerah shawah, the punishment must be burning, on this view that the analogy must be carried through on all points.
Just as incest with his mother is punished by stoning, so with his mother's mother. But making the analogy from another angle, the latter should be punished by burning, as has already been shewn. Hence, by a reductio ad absurdum, we are forced to dismiss the entire analogy.
Though the former two do not arise.

We present far-infrared reflection spectra and results of galvanomagnetic measurements of PbTe single crystals doped with gallium between 10 and 300 K. The analysis of the far-infrared reflection spectra was made by a fitting procedure based on the model of coupled oscillators. Together with the strong plasmon-phonon coupling we obtain three local modes of gallium at about 122, 166 and 192 cm(-1). The position of these modes depends of impurity center charge, and their intensity depends of temperature and of gallium concentration. Persistent photoconductivity effect was registered in the sample with 0.4 at.% Ga by galvanomagnetic and far-infrared measurements. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Meet the 27-Year Old Filipina Whose Online Business Is Making It Big in the US
"Life is all about taking risks."
by Charlene J. Owen | Mar 22, 2017
Share Tweet Pin Post a Comment
IMAGE Ishka Villacisneros Tusjakova
Ishka Villacisneros-Tusjakova is no stranger to hard work. In fact, at 11 years old, her parents had already exposed her to clerical tasks in their company—an experience which trained her to multi-task and challenged her to become more enterprising.
Now at 27, she is the owner of Californila, a fast-growing "personal shopping" online store that provides Manila-based customers with items only available in the US. What started out as pakisuyo and padala now provides Ishka more than just stability, but a means to provide jobs for her relatives and friends while allowing her to follow her passions. (Her 83-year-old grandmother is one of her social media managers!)
In our recent online correspondences, Ishka shared her story in the hopes of inspiring Pinoy immigrants to jump into doing what they love, even if they're far away from home.
"When I moved to the US, like any other immigrant, I didn't know what to expect. All I wanted was to go back to school to learn more about the tech industry and gain experience in a job related to my field."
However, in spite of her homesickness, she was presented with an opportunity: personal shopping. Having access to US-exclusive products made her the taga-bili of her family and friends in the Philippines. This brought about the early beginnings of Californila.
More From FemaleNetwork.com
"The whole idea of Californila originated from the Filipino tradition of sending balikbayan boxes to our loved ones in the Philippines," she explained. "When I made a bit of money from a part-time job at a café, I would send items that are worthy to share to my friends and relatives in the Philippines."
It became so prolific that her family and friends in Manila would offer to pay for a "personal shopping fee" which would cover her transportation and shipping expenses. From then on, she decided to formalize the process, initially starting a shop on the now defunct Multiply, before creating her own online store which has grown to become Californila.
While Ishka is now enjoying the fruits of her labor, it wasn't easy building her name in a foreign land. Aside from initially not having enough funds to accommodate orders, she was also juggling several other jobs and responsibilities.
"Another issue I faced was the time difference," she said. Despite having to be at work by 7AM in the US, Ishka had to take care of her business until the wee hours of the morning because she was catering to people in the Philippines. On top of that, she also had a full-time job as a receptionist and a part-time job at a cafe. She ended up having to dedicate her free time to Californila. And "it was a one-woman show," she described.
All this she would do while catering to her online customers, with whom she still needed to build professional trust. "Promoting Californila to the Filipino community in the first years was also kind of tough because I was not physically there and I really want to provide them with great customer service. I started with my friends and colleagues and of course with the help of social media, our service grew by word-of-mouth."
While she had it rough, giving up never crossed Ishka's mind.
"I actually never thought of [giving up] because what pushes me forward is seeing it grows and getting a lot of positive feedback from new referrals and loyal customers. This actually challenged me to even improve the quality of service we gave them the day before."
Ishka kept her customers at the heart of her business. "I think about what they want, what they need and what will make them happy," she said, and this honest willingness to serve her fellow Filipinos has paid off, as Californila is slowly becoming the go-to site for those looking for hard-to-acquire US products.
"The best reward that my hard work provided me is to see the excitement of the customers in getting their orders and that they saved time and money with our personal shopping service. To hear that they wouldn't think twice in referring us or ordering more items is really fulfilling as well. Whenever they are able to buy an item that can't be found in the Philippines, I feel like we've accomplished something together."
As for those who wish to venture out on their own and create their own business either here or abroad but are afraid to do so, Ishka has this advice:
"Life is all about taking risks, if you never take a risk you will never achieve your dreams because you'll be on the same place as you were yesterday. Great achievements happen when you step out of your comfort zone, building this business took a lot of hard work and perseverance. You either take the risk or lose an opportunity to be a better version of yourself."

If you work at a fairly junior level in the typical corporate IT environment your bosses will probably be treating you as a technician of categorised skills whose opinions and expertise outside of the narrow job box they have you in are neither of interest nor of value. Basically they tell you to do your job and keep out of everybody else's - and particularly theirs.
In my experience the less technically competent the IT management group is, the more harshly these role boundaries get enforced. Unfortunately, this behaviour is common, wasteful, and dishonest: the company has hired 100% of your applicable skills and directly or indirectly committed to helping you expand them, so restricting what you are allowed to do to the small percentage of your overall skill set that fits the niche they have you in both wastes most of what they're paying for and breaks their commitment to you.
There are a number of factors driving this, but the bottom line is that your opportunities for change in an established data center run by the Peter Principled are largely driven by organisational accident -you don't get a chance to show what you can do unless something unexpected happens and you're what the bosses throw into the breech.
But while you wait for lightening to strike, there you are: stuck getting a pay cheque for telling people to reboot, writing a daily network usage report nobody reads, repeatedly debugging the same people's relationship with the same piece of warehousing software - or repeating whatever other wonderfully unexciting bit of the daily grind they have you doing.
In that situation you face two related questions: should you try to break the cycle? and if so, how?
To me the rationale for doing what you want to - i.e breaking out of the safe but boring routine - is simple: it's pretty clear that the handwriting is on the wall for the present way of doing things in IT and when something significant changes the people with the broadest range of skills will adapt first, and thus end up doing best.
Such change is inevitable - and the majority never gets it right in advance. All we know for sure is that the future will not be the past and therefore that just continuing what you're doing now is a long term loser.
So you need to expand your repertoire, but how?
The most effective strategies I've seen have all been social - the classic marrying the boss's daughter routine carried through at lower levels of commitment by working outside the organization to make yourself visible to your own user and upper management. Unfortunately that route usually requires having the right parents, going to school with the right people, or other social headstarts that simply aren't open to most people.
A less effective, but still workable, strategy is to make yourself over as a teacher of fringe technologies, like Linux, and let users create opportunities for you around those.
As a process this leverages management's assumptions about you - and their insistence on using only the technologies blessed by their strategic wisdom - to widen your role in the organization.
Step one in this is to find an HR or other company policy favouring training - and then sell your boss on sending you out for training subject to your promise that you'll conduct a few sessions in the office to pass on what you've learnt to your colleagues. Notice that the nature of the training doesn't matter - so pick something your boss cares about - because the point isn't what you learn, it's to establish the teaching precedent under which you pass on what you've learnt.
Once that precedent has been established, get yourself comfortable with at least one version of x86 Linux for the desktop and rely on the pass-it-on precedent to bypass opposition to doing an initial demonstration and seminar for your colleagues. Notice two things about this: first that you need to commit management to this process by getting their permission to use a bit of company equipment, space, and time for this, and secondly that you want to stress the home desktop, not servers because you don't want to scare your Wintel or zOS committed bosses and colleagues.
Now broaden the appeal to include the user community - do another seminar and make sure that somebody else invites a couple of user staff with some interest in home computing.
Pull that off, and you'll soon be home free: because this will make you the management blessed go to guy for user community PC hobbyists wanting to try Linux at home. And when that happens your bosses will be trapped between rocks and hard places the next time a user manager mentions some need for which there's no budget, but which could be met by loading Linux and some freeware on a disused x86 server - after all, everybody trusts you to make it work, and there's no cost, so how can he say "no" - aren't you his Linux guy?
Notice, however, that being seen prompting user management to do the requesting is the kiss of death for this strategy - your bosses will see that as an attempted end-run and find you a new job validating Microsoft licensing in an underground file room. Be patient: you'll be back to waiting for an organisational accident for a while, but appropriate issues come up all the time, and you can trust your bosses to eventually make just that one small exception to their uniform architecture rules needed to get some whiney user manager off their backs - especially if they see your failure as both inevitable and reflecting well on their normal strategy of sticking to more sincerely blessed technologies like Windows or the mainframe.
Of course, when opportunity finally strikes, you have to be ready to deliver: but here's a secret most Wintel/mainframe people refuse to acknowledge even to themselves: you know that rule about 90% of everything being bunk? well 90+% of getting a small project working in a large organization consists of organisational rules, and your bosses have just freed from those for this project - meaning that getting it working in the short term will be pretty easy - and getting it working in the longer term, well, isn't that the new job you wanted?
