Repeats – Music Theory – Part 15a is the next article in the overall series Scales in Music – A Tonal System and it is in Level 1 of the Music Theory Section.
This is the first of four parts of a mini-series of articles about the various repeats as used in music and music notation. The mini-series specifically addresses repeat symbols used on the staff, over the staff, the navigation words placed over the staff and note and rest repeat symbols all of which fall under the category of repeats in music.
Part 15b reviews repeating sections and partial sections of music.These are more commonly known as first and second endings.
Part 15c reviews other words and symbols which help to navigate a composition especially in larger orchestral works.
Part 15d reviews repeating notes, rests and measures.
All of the articles are important and necessary to more fully understand the various concepts surrounding replaying certain portions of music or when there is a need to repeat measures, notes and rests. Let's get started now with Repeats – Music Theory – Part 15a.
My very first manufacturing job was working on a paint line in a factory in the Midwest. My specific job was to place parts that were manufactured in the factory onto hooks. Then I had to place the hook with the parts onto a movable overhead chain which moved throughout the paint department. After that I had to go to the end of the line where the parts had been painted, remove them from the paint line and place them into a container. After that I returned to the beginning of the paint line and started all over again. I had to repeat the same action until someone or something caused or directly stopped me, such as a break, lunch or quitting time. Fun hey? I made a pact with myself never to do that again.
In a music composition, there are musical phrases, sections and in fact entire pieces written where repeats occur periodically within the them. There are specific symbols which direct the performer on when and where in the score they should begin repeating a previous section or part of the music and where the repeating should end.
Some of these symbols are placed on and become a part of the staff lines which are covered in this part of our presentation. Others are placed above the staff and offer direction to the performers. Some of these are included here as well.
All of the various means which a composer can use to cause a part of the composition to be replayed will be presented in both parts of this mini-series of articles. Repeats are used frequently in fact, there are many occasions when repeats are used in music so it is important to understand the various means by which this type of communication occurs between the composer's written music and the performer.
We can begin our discussion about repeats as used in music composition right where we left off in Part 14 on the concept and symbol for the final ending. In that article Barlines – Music Theory – Part 14 we presented the final ending chart as shown below. It is shown here to refresh your memory or to introduce you to it. To restate its meaning, this is the final ending of the composition. The Artist or Performer stops, in fact, everything stops and hopefully the applause begins!
There are two changes that can be made to the final ending symbol. One is called the end repeat and the other is called the start repeat. Let us now explore those changes, the instructions to the performer and the overall impact of placing them within a music composition.
End Repeat – Sometimes we may want to repeat the entire composition from start to finish and there is a device in the symbolic language of music that does just exactly that. Even though the changes made to the final ending symbol are small in nature, the impact of making the change is considerable. The chart below shows the altered final ending symbol.
Description – Let us first take a closer look at the simple changes made to the final ending symbol and we'll explore what the impact is as a result of making the changes.
The first change is simply graphical. It includes adding two dots which straddle the middle line (B) of the five line staff. They are also placed to the left of the thin line portion of the final ending symbol.
The End Repeat is used to instruct the performer(s) to immediately return to the beginning of the composition, where the performer starts over and plays through to the end of the work.
In this case, the end repeat is placed in the same location as a final ending symbol as shown below in this two measure chart.
Lastly, there can be any number of measures in between the start of the composition and the final measure or the measure which has the end repeat symbol. The new symbol adds choice to the composer's list of tools and alters the instruction to the performer. Let us explore this point now.
What is interesting about the end repeat is that it can be placed anywhere within the composition. The end repeat is not locked into the last measure of music like the final ending, unless of course, that is what you want.
The real advantages of exercising the optional placements for the end repeat symbol include fulfilling a need to repeat only a portion of the composition. With this tool you can do this. In fact, you can repeat any number of measures anywhere within the musical score. This is an important and highly beneficial feature of the end repeat.
What it Does – If the end repeat is not influenced by any other mark in the score, it instructs the performer to start at the beginning of the composition and to repeat all of the music from the start back to the end repeat where it then acts as a final ending.
In our two-measure example above, due to the end repeat the performer plays for a total of four measures, two measures as usual, moving from the start to the repeat line, and two more repeating the original two measures. Understanding this sequence is important as other repeats do different things and you'll need to understand each of them in order to use them properly.
To restate, the second important point to make about the end repeat is that it is indeed movable so we can add more choices in how the music is performed. Let's explore that concept now.
When the end repeat is placed away from the final measure something else happens. In this next chart the performer follows the instruction of repeating the previous music and at the beginning of the score, just as before. So, the performer returns to the beginning and begins to replay the music.
The second time the performer comes to the end repeat symbol the performer plays through the end repeat to the final ending. In other words, rather than perform the repeat again, the symbol is simply ignored the second time through. This time he or she continues playing the music in the next adjacent measure and continues playing through to the end. Keep this second variation in mind as it is different than the previous use of the end repeat and therefore it is used as an alternative or a second choice, if you will.
The chart below demonstrates the placement of the end repeat prior to the final ending along with a graphical display showing the influence of using the end repeat prior to the final ending.
The performer always plays the music in a linear fashion from start to finish. The use of the repeat symbols changes only the sequence of what is being played not the content, notes, rests and other markings, placed within the measures of the composition. This includes those notes placed on ledger lines both above and below the staff.
The Start Repeat – Let us now proceed to the second repeat symbol called the start repeat. The symbol for the start repeat is similar to the one used for the end repeat but its shape is reversed as shown in red in the chart below. The second chart shows a direct comparison of both the start and end repeat symbols in a single measure.
Description -The symbol for the start repeat (in purple) is a mirror copy of the end repeat (in red). All of the components are sequenced in reverse, the thin and thick vertical barlines are reversed and the placement of the two dots are placed to the far right of the thin vertical line as shown above.
Placement – The chart below shows the optional placements for the start repeat symbol.
The shape of the symbol is all the same but its placement can vary as shown.
For now, let's remember that the end repeat activates the repeating process.The three symbols we have just reviewed include the final ending, the end repeat and the start repeat.
Certainly the graphical changes are minimal and as we have show the influence to the compositions performance sequence is far greater.
The chart and the audio clip below provide a clear understanding of the impact of using both of the repeats. In this example, the start repeat is placed at the beginning of the four measures.
We have used the half note and the quarter note at the tempo of Andante 80. Please match your visual focus on each note as it plays. Once you get to the last note (G) the repeat kicks in and the audio continues all over again at the start repeat or the C note at the beginning of these four measures. In other words, the melody will begin and continue to the repeat symbol in measure 4. The melody will begin again and continue through the end repeat the second time and continue to play the music beyond the end repeat, in this case, the partial measure shown on the far right.
Further, by using this additional tool, the start repeat symbol within a composition, you are not locked into repeating all the way to the beginning of the work which offers the composer an additional tool to include in his or her toolbox. The start symbol can be placed on any measure within the composition not just the first measure.
There must be an end repeat after the placement of the start repeat. In other words if there is no end repeat then there isn't any reason to place a start repeat symbol in the composition.
The Action – When placing the start repeat away from the beginning of the work, another action is used as shown in the chart below.
By altering the placement of the start repeat we change how the performer plays the music. First, the performer begins playing the music at the very beginning proceeding until the end repeat symbol shown in red. Then the performer returns to the start repeat shown in purple and continues playing through to the end of the music.
This action is similar to the first example where the end repeat causes the performer to return to the beginning of the music but in this example the performer only returns to the measure where the start repeat is placed, the second measure.
By using this set-up the composer can repeat only those measures intended to be repeated rather than the entire composition. This type of repeat set-up can be used for any number of measure including one measure, a section of music or as many measures as is needed to create the intentions the composer wishes.
All Together Now! – Let us now look and listen to what these concepts mean in a more meaningful way when using the two repeat set-ups. We will use the same single melody line but use each of the set-ups separately with mp3 clips to demonstrate them. Please follow the notes with your eyes and listen to each of the two audio clips comparing the action caused by the repeat set-up. Here is the first one.
The performer begins playing and continues to the end repeat, returns to the beginning and plays through to the end. Now, notice the differences between our first example and the second example.
The performer starts out at the beginning, plays to the end repeat shown in red, starts over at the start repeat shown in purple and plays through to the end shown in reddish brown. Take notice that the first measure is not repeated because the start repeat was placed after the first measure.
Both of these repeat set-ups are classic examples of the use of repeats in music notation. Again, the repeat principals shown in the two examples hold true regardless of the clef the music is written in.
Music composition has a lot of tools, variables and choices a composer must be quite familiar with. After all, the real challenge of a composer isn't simply composing new music, it is to be able to notate the music he or she hears in their head, repeats and all, write it down with some semblance of what they actually hear inside. The magic of notation really is no magic at all. It is simply a language used to communicate ideas. It just happens to be the symbolic language of music. In essence that is what music theory is in regards to music notation, learning the language so you can match the symbols to the musical ideas you think about inside your head.
Here is a quick review before we begin reviewing the next part of this mini-series on repeats used in music.
Review – The end repeat is not the final ending symbol and so it does not perform like one. The end repeat performs a dual function by instructing the performer simply to start over again from the beginning, repeating the section of music that has just been played, and it acts like the final ending if no additional music is placed beyond the end repeat and if no other directing symbol or mark is used. The symbol is the instruction to the performer to repeat all or a portion of the music depending upon the placement of the end repeat within the composition.
The start repeat is used to block off that portion of the music before the start repeat and to play from the symbol to the end of the composition.
One thing I hope you have gotten out of this article is the differences between the various repeats and how to use them. Due to the differences between them it is important to know and understand each as well as how to use each in music composition and notation.
This concludes Repeats – Music Theory – Part 15a of the overall series Scales in Music – a Tonal System in the Music Theory Section – Level 1 collection of articles.
As mentioned earlier, due to the nature and the many ideas and concepts used as repeats in music, we have added three additional articles to the music theory article series about them.
The next article in the Music Theory Section – Level 1 group of articles is a presentation on additional symbols and markings used generally in the same way as those presented in Repeats – Part 15a. They are not staff lines as such but they represent clear instructions for the benefit of the performers.
We will be focusing on the additional markings used above the staff which direct the performer to repeat a specific section or part of a section within a composition. The title for the next article is, Repeats – Endings – Music Theory – Part 15b. It is an extension to this article and delves deeper into the repeats as previously mentioned.
Please proceed to Repeats – Endings – Music theory – Part 15b.
Note: All charts and mp3 clips used in this article were created in Sibelius Music Software and Steinberg's Wavelab.

srl vs nz Match Prediction & Analysis
It is time to shift gears from Test format to the T20 internationals. With the T20 world cup to commence in a year, teams are planning to build a settled line up before the mega event. Both teams are relatively low-ranked, with New Zealand at No. 6 and the Lankans at No. 8 respectively in the ICC ranking for T20. In the recently concluded test series, Kiwis managed to come back from their first test defeat and level the series 1-1 and they have managed to achieve this feat a second time in a row in the island nation. But we are moving from whites to the colored clothing and New Zealand start as strong favorites in this 3 match T20 series.
Both teams pose a completely different set of players from the previous week and it is strange to believe that two fast bowlers are captaining the T20 teams. Southee is going to experience his first stint as New Zealand skipper, whereas Malinga is appointed as the Lankans skipper.
New Zealand had a good outing in their practice game against the Sri Lanka Board President 11, winning the match by a margin of 33 runs. Kiwis won the toss and opted to bat first. Their openers Guptill and Munro had a fiery start scoring 60 runs in the power play. While Guptill was sedated with his 24-ball 22, Munro raced to a 27-ball 48 before he decided to give other batters a chance. While the newcomers Seifert and Bruce struggled for runs, Ross Taylor was in his zone as he sent 4 delivers over the rope for his 24-ball 41. Skipper Southee ended the NZ innings with three boundaries and NZ completed the innings with 168 runs. Bowling started well with Skipper tying one end and Kuggelejin picked wickets at another end. Scott Kuggelejin bowled brilliantly and ended with figures of 4/19 from his four overs in the warm-up. Ish Sodhi was taken for plenty but he had 3 numbers in the wicket's column. Santner, as usual, continued to maintain his economy rate and picked up a wicket.
From the Lankans perspective, Shanaka and Jayasuriya who will get a nod to the playing 11 spent some quality time out in the middle.
Sri Lanka Preview
Lasith Malinga will hope his captaincy is not taken away after this series and he must stay till the T20 world cup, leading this side for a good result. They have two brutal lefties at the top, Dickwella and Kusal Perera. They will look to take the kiwi pacers apart. A lot of talks revolve around Fernando after his world cup performance and Bangladesh series. Shanaka has long levers and scored an 11-ball 25 in the warm-ups. Lankans will look to pressurize the Kiwis with their spin attack. They have varieties in the form of Dananjaya, Sandakan, and Jayasuriya.
Lasith Malinga: Write this man out at your own peril. He showed in his final ODI against Bangladesh that he has a lot of cricket left in him still. His Yorkers are pin-point accurate still and he picked 3 wickets with his go-to delivery in his last outing for Lankans.
Niroshan Dickwella: He scored a couple of half-centuries in the Test series and will look to give his team some solid start in the powerplay.
Sri Lanka Predicted Playing XI:
Niroshan Dickwella, Fernando, Kusal Perera, Kusal Mendis, Shehan Jayasuriya, Dasun Shanaka, Isuru Udana, Akila Dananjaya, Lakshan Sandakan, Lahiru Kumara, Lasith Malinga
New Zealand Preview
Tim Southee gets this brief captaincy period as Williamson has made himself unavailable for this T20 fixtures. They will also miss the services of their premium fast bowler Trent Boult. But they have plenty of T20 batting experience with Guptill and Munro playing most of the T20 franchise leagues. Their middle order looks weak but with Ross Taylor looking good to finish things at the end, they have little things to worry. Their spin combo of Sodhi and Santer would love to use these conditions which favor them.
Ross Taylor: He is the best player of the spin in their line-up. Sri Lanka would show their spin force and Taylor should come to the rescue. He had a decent start to the test with a 86 in the first innings but fell cheaply in successive innings.
Colin de Grandhomme: What a turnaround he brought to New Zealand in that second test match, he attacked the spinners from the word go and helped his team to push for an incredible win on the final day. He scored 83 off 77, already in T20 mode.
New Zealand Predicted Playing XI:
Martin Guptill, ColinMunro, Tim Seifert (Wk), Ross Taylor, Tom Bruce, Daryl Mitchell, Colin de Grandhomme, Santner, Kuggeleijn, Southee, Ish Sodhi
There is always a chance of rain in the island nation during these months. There will be some offer for the spinners, but the outfield will be quick to help the batsman.
Toss: WIN the toss, BOWL First
With the rain around the corner, teams will look to chase the DL targets rather than batting first.
SRL vs NZ
The recent record of Sri Lanka tells a story, they must put some consistent performance to beat the Kiwis. It will be a close encounter between these two teams, but the Kiwis will have their nose ahead with T20 experience. The plot is clear for the New Zealand team, bat the spinners well and take the trophy with them.
We expect New Zeland to win!

Don't mess with Idahoans. The story of a home intruder who got thrown a beating has crossed the pond. England's Daily Mail is impressed by the tale of an Idaho Falls man who stood up to crime.
While it isn't recommended you stand up to a burglar it's unlikely someone else will mess with Caspian Shamel anytime soon.
It happened in February when a man burst into the home, waving a gun and threatening another man and his girlfriend. "Wrong house, Buster," is a pretty good description of what followed. Not only did the homeowner grab Eddie Walker's gun, when it was over, Walker needed treatment at a hospital.
The video is intense. While it isn't recommended you stand up to a burglar it's unlikely someone else will mess with Caspian Shamel anytime soon.
The video accompanying the story is also filled with foul language. If you're offended by screaming men shouting obscenities it's a warning.
The video does get an important message across. You should recognize danger can pop-up anytime and anywhere. Even as you relax at home!


Whether looking to add the Art Monk rookie card or Art Monk football cards to a collection, both are relatively easy to find and considered a good investment. The 1981 Topps Art Monk Washington Redskins Rookie Card, graded 9.5 has a current price of $75, which is a great buy considering the accomplishments associated with the NFL.
The price of a Art Monk rookie card is determined by a few factors. The condition of the card or cards is vital to its value. The better the condition the more the Art Monk rookie card is worth. Scarcity also a determining factor when figuring out how much a Art Monk rookie card is worth. Like condition, scarcity can make a big difference when it comes to pricing.
Best and Most Valuable Art Monk Rookie Card- 1981 Topps #194 Art Monk This is also his most expensive rookie card.
Art Monk Bio- Although most people connect Monk with the Washington Redskins, he also played wide receiver for the New York Jets and Philadelphia Eagles. While playing with Syracuse University, he was a four-year letterman but in 1980, he became a first round draft pick by the Redskins and in his rookie year, he was voted Rookie of the Year. Just four years later, he had set the NFL record for 106 receptions and a career best of 1,372 years, giving him the honor of being named MVP.
During his 14 years with the Redskins, Monk had played in three victorious Super Bowls, was All-Pro, and chosen to play in the 1985, 1985, and 1986 Pro Bowls. For all he added to the game of football, Monk was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2008. While local memorabilia shops sell many of his cards, the best place to find an Art Monk rookie card is online through eBay.
Top 3 Art Monk Rookie Cards- These are some of the best Art Monk Rookie cards and some of his most expensive.

Highgate's Liberal-Democrat councillor Liz Morris has written to the Mayor of London Sadiq Khan ahead of a public meeting with the Met following a spate of moped enabled attacks. Here we print the full text of her letter. The public meeting with police takes place at the Royal British Legion, Muswell Hill Rd, N10 3NG on Tuesday, December 5 from 7-9.30pm.
Thieves on moped used hammers to smash window of Gails bakery and rob customers in an attack earlier this month.
There has been a significant increase in moped crime in North London and I am writing in particular about the boroughs of Haringey, Camden and Islington where there has been a huge rise in phone and handbag snatches by moped gangs.
More worrying is that the gangs have stepped up the level of violence, with the use of hammers, and innocent people are getting seriously hurt.
At 2.45pm on Monday, November 6 we had an attack at Gail's bakery on Highgate High Street where a moped gang smashed the windows with a hammer, creating absolute terror inside, and took off with a computer.
I can report that a mother who was inside Gail's during the attack has had to have her gall bladder removed following a trauma to her abdomen when she dived to the ground to protect herself (and her young son?) from the gang.
A few weeks earlier a woman had her handbag snatched in Highgate where she was violently pushed to the ground and dragged along the pavement. She suffered 3 broken ribs, and a broken hand, and has been signed off work for several weeks. As well as the physical trauma there is the huge mental trauma that victims suffer following an attack.
I have had numerous reports from residents of moped gangs targeting the newly pedestrianised area in front of Archway Station which is now a well-known crime hotspot. On Tuesday 14 November at 11.30pm there were groups of mopeds driving round the new square at Archway terrorising the public, yet there was not a policemen in sight despite all the recent attacks there.
 Is there enough coordination and cooperation between the different borough police teams in London?
 Are the Transport Police being called on support the police outside tube stations which have become crime hotspots?
 How will you increase the tagging of motorbikes so that stolen bikes can be tracked and picked up so they are not used by the gangs?
 Do we need more CCTV cameras – we have none in Highgate?
 What resources will you be investing so that Londoners are safe from moped crime?
 Why are you closing police counters and stations when they could be utilised to tackle this problem?
 What more can you do as our mayor to tackle this problem?
Following the spate of attacks in Highgate I called a meeting of the Camden and Haringey Safer Neighbourhood Teams who have now agreed to coordinate their patrolling of Highgate (Highgate is split between the two boroughs) to ensure more regular patrolling.
I have called for CCTV cameras in Highgate as we are the only ward in Haringey and Camden without CCTV. I have contacted the four Highgate schools to warn them about the increase in moped crime and given them details of Haringey's Safer Neighbourhood schools liaison person who can talk to pupils about safety. We also have a Traders meeting this week to discuss what they can do to make their businesses safer.
However this is just one small community in London trying to tackle a London-wide issue which needs a London-wide approach - as we know gangs cross borough boundaries to steal mopeds and commit their crimes.


Being a student-athletes requires commitment and dedication to a sport, but some athletes may decide to pursue different paths for multiple reasons.
Adam Sevario, a senior business management major and a former university baseball player, explained how the schedule for a student-athlete can become a major issue.
Injuries can also factor into an athlete's decision to quit playing their sport.
Gabrielle Anderson, a sophomore family and consumer sciences major, discussed what led her to step away from soccer in spring 2018.
Although she misses being on the team, Anderson does not regret her decision.
Brett Olivier, a senior computer science major, quit cross country and track and field due to ineligibility.
For some athletes, maintaining a sufficient income may become a struggle due to collegiate athletics.
Other student-athletes may feel they are not seeing enough improvement in their performance and decide to leave the game.
According to Olivier, there is plenty of room for future success for athletes who choose to quit playing for the university.


Honeybee colonies have severely declined in the last decade. Researchers have studied this decline, coined colony collapse disorder (CCD), and determined that several causes are at the root of bee population loss including excessive pesticide use, invasive mites and diseases. Thus it is up to YOU and farmers like us to support honeybees and sustain their populations.
By adopting a hive at Valley Crest, you will support honeybee populations and protect bees through habitat restoration, monitoring and hive protection. There are currently 12 beehives installed at the farm since 2017. Hives not only support crops and contribute to the fight against CCD but provide invaluable educational opportunities for children and adults alike.
With your beehive adoption, you will support Valley Crest's goal to bring 8 more hives to the farm in 2018 and improve native plant diversity in our new pollinator meadow, too! Our efforts to improve bee populations would not be possible without adoptors like you.
Who can adopt a hive?
Anyone can and should adopt a beehive! Whether you're adopting a hive as an individual, family, company or school, you will make a difference AND have once-in-a-lifetime opportunities to learn about and understand bees.
Adopt a Beehive makes a unique and memorable gift for a birthday, anniversary, holiday, in memory of a loved one or any special occasion. Celebrate the nature lover in your life with a unique gift that makes a difference!

Q: Java Swing - how to add image in north of Jpanel I want to add image in NORTH part of my JPanel, but it doesnt work.
What should i do?
class PanelGlowny extends JPanel
{
    PanelGlowny()
    {
        this.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
        ImageIcon imageurl = new ImageIcon("logo.jpg");
        Image img = imageurl.getImage();
        this.add(img, BorderLayout.NORTH);

    }
}

public class Formatka extends JFrame
{
    private PanelGlowny panel = new PanelGlowny();

    public Formatka()
    {
        ...
        add(panel);
    }
}

A: Here's a working modification of your code. You should be able to run it as is. Essentially, you can't simply add the ImageIcon to the JPanel. You need to wrap it in a JLabel first.
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.net.URL;

import javax.swing.ImageIcon;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JPanel;

public class Test2
{
    public static class PanelGlowny extends JPanel
    {

        public PanelGlowny( )
        {

            this.setLayout( new BorderLayout( ) );

            // incorporated @nIcE cOw's comment about loading classpath resources
            URL url = getClass().getResource("logo.jpg")
            ImageIcon imageicon = new ImageIcon( url );
            JLabel label = new JLabel( imageicon );

            this.add( label, BorderLayout.NORTH );

        }
    }

    public static void main( String[] args )
    {
        JFrame frame = new JFrame( );

        frame.add( new PanelGlowny( ) );

        frame.setSize( 400, 400 );

        frame.setVisible( true );
    }

}

A: Create a new JLabel from your ImageIcon and add that to your JPanel.

A Mississippi school district is going after Harper Lee's classic work, contending that its difficult themes will make students too uncomfortable.
This summer, I re-read "To Kill a Mockingbird" for the fourth or fifth time. I rediscovered the beauty of Harper Lee's understated prose and the humanity of the story she tells about a little girl growing up in the Jim Crow South, witnessing and gradually coming to grasp its attendant injustices. I recall thinking to myself that this wonderful book wasn't likely to make it through our country's ongoing culture wars. Unfortunately, I may have been right.
Last week, a school district in Mississippi announced that it was pulling the Pulitzer Prize-winning classic from its 8th grade reading list because, according to the school board's vice president Kenny Holloway, the language in the book "makes people uncomfortable." He is referring, of course, to the use of the n-word found throughout the book.
According to the school's website, there are plenty of other books that can teach the same lessons of "To Kill A Mockingbird" without the uncomfortable language. And this may be true. But can they do it with the same beauty and subtlety as Harper Lee? Certainly not.
So many books these days are focused more on identity politics or social justice than they are on describing the human condition, the highest calling of art—which Lee excelled at. What's more, the rich depth of Lee's prose ensures that her insights into the human condition, set in the context of mid-20th century American racism and prejudice, will stay with the reader long after putting her novel down.
Books aren't significant just for the social lessons they teach. "To Kill a Mockingbird" has something monumental to say about society, race, compassion, and justice, as well as about the painful process of growing up. It is important, however, that Lee's book raises these issues in a way that resonates in one's mind and soul. Another book might espouse the same values or assert the same moral lessons as "To Kill a Mocking Bird," but do so in a way that is hollow and two-dimensional, and thus wouldn't leave a lasting impression on the reader.
The n-word is an uncomfortable word for anyone to read. Most people don't relish thinking about its use and the historical denigration of blacks in America. But Lee's book is not encouraging the use of that word. It's simply describing its use. Indeed, it's difficult to imagine anyone reading "To Kill A Mockingbird" and walking away thinking that the author is praising the use of such language. Instead the book is, in a sense, a historical document and a testament to the terrible mistreatment, injustice, and social segregation of blacks in the south prior to the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s.
"Gone With the Wind" is not a racist film. It depicts life in the south before, during, and after the Civil War—at a time when blacks were slaves, or, in the scenes after the war had ended, not treated much better than slaves. That is an historic fact and the movie portrays it. How can it be racially insensitive to depict history? It's uncomfortable, sure. But not racist.
That drive to testify, to bear witness to what happened during the Holocaust, prompted survivors to write down their stories, to write novels, to build memorials and museums. I remember going to the Holocaust Memorial Center in Farmington Hills, Mich., with a large group of my older Jewish relatives during a family reunion when I was a girl. It was a painful visit for my grandmother and my great aunts and uncles, but it was important for them to be there, and to bring the younger generation with them.
"To Kill a Mockingbird" serves to remind us of the past, of the denigration and vilification of human beings because of the color of their sin, and of the injustices that permeated our justice system. It also reminds us of how the world and others can seem to a child not yet immersed in the social norms of society. Remembering the Jim Crow south or the Holocaust is crucial to pushing back against those parts of human nature that are always seeking to dehumanize the other, whoever that might be.
Some may argue that the incident with "To Kill a Mockingbird" is just one school district and that it's silly to get all worked up about it—after all, it is still one of the top-assigned novels in U.S. high schools.
Maybe they're right. Maybe this is just an isolated incident, it won't pick up any steam, and no one else in the country will get the same idea. But the way that things have been going in our country the last few years—the increasing divisiveness between the left and the right, the ongoing political correctness crusade, the campus crackdowns on free speech, and the movement to take down historic monuments—it seems that Lee's masterpiece could be next up on the chopping block.
In a way, Lee's masterpiece is like a mockingbird: innocent, harmless, providing us with the rich, sweet music of literature that carries the weight of truth. It would be a sin to kill it.

Offaly funeral home streams church services on internet
"A couple of residents were watching it and they said, 'There's the local priest' and that means a lot to them."
Gearoid Keegan
Church services are streamed live from Lawless funeral home
IN an effort to bring Easter weekend ceremonies to the widest audience possible, church services are being streamed live from a funeral home in Offaly.
Sunday morning Masses celebrated by Fr Martin Carley, PP, Catholic parish of Rahan, and Sunday evening services from Rev Isaac Delamere, Church of Ireland Tullamore Union of Parishes, have been available for viewing through a webcam at the Lawless funeral home in Mucklagh for the last few weeks.
The number of viewers has been increasing each weekend and many more are expected to log on in what is one of the biggest events on the annual church calendar.
Undertaker Tom Lawless first got a webcam installed at his funeral home in Mucklagh in December 2018 through a specialist provider, MCN Media.
Using a password which can be provided by family members of the bereaved, mourners unable to go to a wake have been able to view proceedings on their computer.
"When the coronavirus initially came in I had a funeral and the family said to me could I put it on the death notice that there was to be no handshaking and I was the first to have that put on RIP.ie," said Mr Lawless.
Since then, funeral attendance has been restricted to as few as 10 people and the diocese of Meath has suspended all public Masses.
Some churches, including the Church of the Assumption in Tullamore, already had a webcam service in place.
Mr Lawless therefore contacted other local clergymen to see if they would be interested in using his viewing room.
He set the altar up close to the camera so the priest can be seen and heard. No password is required by viewers, ensuring the Mass and services are available to anyone across the world with internet access.
Viewing numbers soared from 35 one Sunday to 115 at a subsequent Mass as more and more people logged on.
Fr Carley has been celebrating Sunday Mass at 11am and Rev Delamere's Sunday service has been at 7pm.
This weekend, the Rahan parish Holy Thursday (7.30pm), Good Friday (3pm) and Holy Saturday (7.30pm) ceremonies will be on webcam.
Rev Delamere's Good Friday service will be at 5pm and Easter Sunday service at 7pm.
Though the broadband connection in Mucklagh is not ideal, it has held up fairly well.
"It's very kind and decent of Tom to have this because it gives us an opportunity to be online."
Because of the cocooning of people aged 70 and older, some priests can neither celebrate Mass in their own church or from the funeral home so Mr Lawless has been attempting to publicise Fr Carley's Mass in neighbouring parishes.
"The best compliment I heard was from the nursing home next door," said the undertaker. "A couple of residents were watching it and they said, 'There's the local priest' and that means a lot to them."
The procedure for accessing the webcam is as follows – 1: log onto MCN Media, 2: click Republic of Ireland, 3: click Cameras, 4: click View Funeral Homes, 5: Scroll down to Lawless Funeral Home, 6: Double Click on Lawless Funeral Home.

Global wildlife population in 'freefall,' report warns
10 September 2020, 06:06 | Updated: 10 September 2020, 06:25
A report has warned of significant decline in the world's wildlife population. Picture: PA
By Asher McShane
@ashermcs
The planet's wildlife population is in "freefall" and has declined by more than 60 per cent in less than 50 years, according to a report.
Conservation charity WWF said nature is in "freefall" due to human activity, mainly intensive agriculture and the destruction of habitat such as forests to produce food.
In its latest Living Planet report, the wildlife group is calling for national laws to stop supply chains for food and other products from driving deforestation and destruction of wild areas, and for people to shift from meat and dairy to more "plant-based" diets.
There is also a need to tackle the vast amounts of food that is lost and wasted throughout supply chains and by retailers and consumers, it said.
From elephants in central Africa and leatherback turtles in Costa Rica to Arctic skuas in Orkney and grey partridges in the UK, populations of wild animals, birds and fish are tumbling, the report warned.
The biggest driver of wildlife losses is changes to land, sea and water use by human activities such as unsustainable agriculture, logging, and development.
Wildlife also faces over-exploitation, such as over-fishing, threats from invasive species and diseases, pollution and, increasingly, climate change.
While conservation measures have helped species such as forest elephant in Ghana and tigers in Nepal, on their own they will not be enough to reverse the downward trends, WWF said.
But action to transform food production, including more sustainable agriculture, cutting waste and moving to healthier diets, to put less pressure on the planet while still providing enough for people to eat, can help nature recover.
The Living Planet Index produced by the Zoological Society of London (ZSL) as part of the report tracks the abundance of 20,811 populations of 4,392 species of mammals, reptiles, birds, fish and amphibians.
Overall, it found that monitored wildlife populations have declined in size by an average of 68% between 1970 and 2016, the most recent year for which data is available.
In Latin America and the Caribbean populations have crashed by 94% on average as grasslands, wetlands and forests are converted to agriculture, species are over-exploited, climate change takes hold and disease and invasive species take their toll.
Populations of freshwater species have seen a steep decline of 84% in less than 50 years, the index shows.
The report also draws on other assessments which show species at an increasing risk of extinction, that soil is losing much of its rich diversity of life in many parts of the world and that plants are seriously threatened.
Tanya Steele, chief executive at WWF, said: "Nature is in freefall, we have seen significant declines in population sizes of wildlife species around the world. That downward trend does not seem to be abating."
She warned that humans were burning forests, polluting and over-fishing the seas and destroying wild areas.
"We are wrecking our world - the one place we call home - risking our health, security and survival here on Earth.
"Now nature is sending us a desperate SOS and time is running out."
She called on the UK Government to fast-track tough new nature laws that protect wildlife at home and abroad, and to use key "Cop26" climate talks in Glasgow next year to secure urgent commitments and action from world leaders.
Sir David Attenborough said there was an opportunity to achieve a balance with the natural world, which would require "systemic shifts" in how people produce food, create energy, manage the oceans and use materials.
"But above all it will require a change in perspective. A change from viewing nature as something that's optional or 'nice to have' to the single greatest ally we have in restoring balance to our world," the naturalist and broadcaster said.
In the essay published as part of a series alongside the Living Planet report, Sir David called for international cooperation to tackling the issue.

Ladakh is an abode of wonders and dream like places that can woo anyone right after the first glimpse. The region is famed for its rustic Buddhist monasteries that are nestled and sometimes perched in the barren mountains. Ladakh is also home to some surreal high altitude lakes like Pangong and Tso Moriri, adorned with azure water and flawless surroundings, these alpine lakes are important tourist attractions. The coldest desert of Hunder Village and the native inhabitants, Bactrian Camels are something that you cannot afford to miss in Ladakh. Another view to fall in love with in the region is the confluence of Rivers Zanskar and Indus at Nimmu. The charming Phugtal Monastery also seem to get a lot of attention from the tourists, whereas the Hemis Monastery during the annual festival is something one would regret not visiting. Wildlife adventurists can quench their thirst for some jungle adventure in Hemis National Park, whereas those wanting to visit only touristy places can witness Leh Palace, Shanti Stupa, War Memorial and the Hall of Fame.

As picturesque as the most stunning painting to ever be painted, Srinagar, the capital of Jammu and Kashmir, lies on the banks of the Jhelum river, and has a cool, pleasant climate all year round, contributing to the perpetual influx of tourists visiting this city which offers a plethora of gorgeous scenic vistas. From the ferocious waters of Pahalgam to the serene pastures of Gulmarg, everything about Srinagar will give you goosebumps, no matter where you're looking at. Once you visit Srinagar, the first thing you do is close your eyes and breathe in lungfuls of the clean, fresh mountain air. The second thing you do is hire a houseboat and pay a visit to Dal Lake. Hills surround the most famous tourist spot in all of Kashmir, Dal Lake, and as long as your sight takes you, you can see the mountains reflected in the water. Taking a Shikara ride on Dal Lake is also a must-do activity. Bedecked with colourful rugs and carpets, these gondola-type rowboats take tourists to see attractions like the Floating Vegetable Market, and the Mir Bahris – a lively community of people who live on the lake itself. You can also spend a night in one of the houseboats, and wake up to a magnificent sunrise that will take your breath away. Dal Lake also offers water sports such as kayaking and skiing, for those interested.

Shimla hill station is still the colonial summer capital to which British used to retreat in when heat of Indio-Gangetic plains used to become unbearable. Be it grey-stone work of Vice Regal Lodge, or Gaiety Theater putting neo-gothic architectural excellence, the beauty of building seem to come alive and not only staying in eyes of beholder. The Elizabethan style mixed and merged with different other forms in buildings like Ellerslie, Christ Church, Gorton Castle, Wood Ville, etc are a must-see. Spirits of that past attracts enthusiasts from India as well as abroad when this hill city has been made capital of state of Himachal Pradesh after India got its Independence. However, this is not the sole reason for why to come to Shimla. Smooth slopes of Snow-draped mountain peaks are absolute invitation to the skiers by spirit or profession.

Delhi , capital city of the Federal Republic of India. It is one of India 's fastest growing cities. To go right back into an era where mythology and history are too closely intertwined, it is believed that Delhi , then known as Indraprashtha, was the scene of action of India 's great epic, the Mahabharata. Periodic archeological excavations bring in more and more evidence to support this contention. It has sprawled over the West Bank of the river Yamuna, straddling the river. The city has two distinct parts, Old Delhi & New Delhi. Delhi is the second most widely used entry point into the country, being on the route of most major airlines. It is well linked by rail, air and road to all parts of the country. The remains of seven distinctive capital cities among them Shahjahanabad and Qutub Minar.

Agra, the mughal capital in the 16th and early 17th century, is full of architectural splendour of forts, mausoleums, and palaces. It is famous as being home to the Taj Mahal, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Though its political significance ended in 1634 with the transfer of the capital to Delhi by Shah Jahan, its architectural wealth has made it an international tourist spot. The Mughals with their passion for buildings constructed some of the finest specimen of Mughal architecture in the city. The city is known for its superb inlay work on marble by craftsmen supposedly with a lineage dating back to the Mughals. Agra's handicrafts also include carpets, gold thread embroidery and leather shoes. Agra to have got its name from Agrabana, a forest mentioned in the epic Mahabharata. It came into prominence in 1501 when Sikandar Lodhi made it the capital city of his empire. It was during the time of Akbar, the great Mughal ruler that Agra came into its own. He commissioned the construction of the massive Agra Fort in 1565. Though Akbar built a new capital at Fatehpur Sikri not far away, much of the Agra's impressive past lingered on and is evident even today in the majesty of the buildings, the haunting presence inside the monuments, the exquisite arts handicraft and not to forget, the lure of exceptional cuisine… all, cherishing priceless legacies of a nostalgic past. The city has impressively retained much of its splendid history… captivating every tourist with fond memories to take back home.

3 Herbs and Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth are part of a protocol for a holistic remedy for parasites which eliminates parasites that mimic bronchitis symptoms from the body in a matter of 10 to 120 days depending on how severe your individual condition may be.
Dr. Hulda Clark discovered three very powerful herbal extracts and I discovered Food Grade Dematiaceous Earth in combo with these herbal extracts, which alone can rid your body of over 100 or more types of parasites! Without the heavy duty side effects of pharma sulfa drugs that cause more harm than good and in some case, will cause liver and kidney damage or even failure, leaving the parasites to continue to overgrow in your body due to the fact that these sulfa drugs may only kill 1 or 2 species of parasites, while the other 100s of species of which you may have, i.e. a variety of 5 or 6 different species of parasites such as Hookworms may mimic and cause upper respiratory bronchitis.
Is it strictly parasites, parasitic bronchitis or parasitic pneumonia?
These are good questions to ask, but no matter which of these you have, this will still be a knockout holistic remedy for parasites that mimic bronchitis or cause parasitic bronchitis, bacterial bronchitis, (or parasitic pneumonia). Same difference, when we're talking about a parasitic cleanse that goes way above what the normal allopathic medical protocol of antibiotic drugs can do for you.
Hookworms (pictured at left): Both species share a common life cycle. Eggs hatch into rhabditiform larvae, feed on bacteria in soil, and molt into the infective filariform larvae. Enabled by moist climates and poor hygiene, filariform larvae enter their hosts through pores, hair follicles, and even intact skin. Maturing larvae travel through the circulation system until they reach alveolar capillaries. Breaking into lung parenchyma, the larvae climb the bronchial tree and are swallowed with secretions. Six weeks after the initial infection, mature worms have attached to the wall of the small intestine to feed, and egg production begins. While larvae occasionally cause pruritic erythema or pulmonary symptoms during their migration to the gut, hookworm infection rarely is symptomatic until a significant intestinal worm burden is established. A transient gastroenteritis-like syndrome can occur because mature worms attach to the intestinal mucosa.
This parasite afflicts over 700 million people. Hookworm infection induces a complex mixture of host-protective and pathological immune responses. The larvae of hookworm penetrate the skin. When hookworms reach adulthood, they can sap the victim's strength, vitality and overall well-being.
Ascaris lumbricoides, the giant roundworm, (pictured at left) is estimated to infect 25% of the world's population, though more in the tropics than other countries. Infection is passed from one human to another through food, water, or dirty hands that have become contaminated with feces from an infected person. Eggs hatch into larvae that penetrate the intestinal wall to enter the bloodstream. They stop in the lungs (pulmonary arteries) for a few weeks then break through the alveoli (the small spaces in the lungs) and travel up to the throat to be swallowed again. Good sanitation and hand washing help prevent this infection.
This specific type of parasite can lay 200,000 eggs a day and grow up to 15 feet long. Estimates show that 1 billion people are infected with roundworm. Symptoms are upper abdominal discomfort, asthma, insomnia, appendicitis, peritonitis, fever, weight loss and rashes due to the secretions or waste products from the worms.
Diatomaceous Earth (often referred to as "DE") is an off white talc-like powder that is the fossilized remains of marine phytoplankton. Pure Diatomaceous Earth Food Grade powder (85%+ natural silica mineral) has multiple beneficial uses for plants, animals, and human health supplements, (DE) is a gentle abrasive that's also highly absorbent. DE is almost entirely made of silica, an important component of human ligaments, cartilage, and musculature. Food grade diatomaceous earth absorbs methyl mercury, E. coli, endotoxins, viruses, organophosphate pesticide residues, and drug residues. ITS POSITIVE EFFECTS INCLUDE KILLING INTESTINAL PARASITES, balancing the intestinal flora, killing viruses, and absorbing toxins. It's great for intestinal cleanses. The only side effect known is its ability to irritate the lungs if inhaled; it is a very fine powder.
All of these can and will be eliminated by this holistic remedy for parasites that mimic bronchitis. Our bronchitis home remedy will help rid you of all upper respiratory disease that presents symptoms of bronchial distress.
Hookworms are parasites that mimic bronchitis symptoms, and our inexpensive parasite detox will kill such parasites with food grade Diatomaceous Earth. With our help, you can get a bronchitis home remedy for those sick of the medical establishment's incompetence, and so with this holistic remedy for parasites that mimic bronchitis you can successfully kill parasites with herbs, herbal remedies, and send roundworm parasites that mimic bronchitis symptoms packing! Yes, roundworm parasites mimic bronchitis symptoms of the upper respiratory area as well, and this bronchitis home remedy will kill them all!
Clove essential oil is used to dissolve eggs found in the intestines that have been left behind by worms. It's believed to be the only herb that actually does destroy almost all parasite eggs. When used in conjunction with black walnut and wormwood, the trio break the parasite's lifecycles. Clove is also antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal. Clove oil has powerful broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties.
These three herbs need be used together. Only if you use them together will you rid yourself of parasites. If you kill only the adults, the tiny stages and eggs will soon grow into new adults. If you kill only the eggs, a million stages already loose in your body will soon grow into adults and make more eggs. They must be used together with the Diatomaceous Earth Food Grade as a single treatment and holistic remedy for parasites as I explain in this video tutorial.
You can also use garlic. Garlic is anti-bad-stuff. Viruses, fungi, bacteria, parasites, cancer, and vampires all hate garlic. It's an absolutely amazing herb and the best in the business at killing bad stuff. It even chelates heavy metals (removes them from the body). Garlic is also a very powerful deterrent for blood sucking parasites like mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas.
Better than an over the counter parasite treatment by far (most of those are so toxic for the liver that you are almost better off with the parasites, really), this recipe for an holistic remedy for parasites is specially formulated to act as a kind of parasite cleanse diet — a diet that spells destruction for hookworms, roundworms, tapeworms, and even blood parasites.
This will be sure to kill off those parasites that mimic bronchitis, provided you follow it step by step. If you have any questions, we can always answer any questions you have by phone or email.
Not every herb or holistic remedy for parasites that mimic bronchitis should be taken with another one. Use caution when working with herbal remedies. Do your research. Though the good news is that any side effects are less likely to bother you than anything on the warning label of every single pharmaceutical. Do plenty of research and/or ask a knowledgeable herbal practitioner before taking any of the above while pregnant or nursing.
This holistic remedy for parasites that mimic bronchitis offers you the best bronchitis home remedy going — for your money and your health. How can I make this claim? Research, due diligence, along with decades of developing whole food-based, natural remedies for unnatural dis-ease allows me to. Along with being a world-renown medical intuitive and holistic healer, I, Sonia, can deliver you from the grip of bronchitis and other upper respiratory illnesses!
Ultimately, your best defense is having a highly alkaline body that is well-oxygenated with a strong immune system and a healthy digestive tract. If your blood is acidic, you are a good candidate for breeding parasites. Mucous in the digestive system and body makes for the perfect breeding ground for bacteria and parasites.
A healthy diet should be followed whenever attempting to restore your health, but especially when taking broad-spectrum antimicrobial supplements. You will kill off some of your beneficial flora, so it is vital to feed the body whole, healthy foods in order to rebuild a healthy ecosystem.
Thanks for watching my video on how to get a holistic remedy for parasites that mimic bronchitis, and for reading this article.
We will be back with more educational tutorial health videos on how to increase your good health (like getting a bronchitis home remedy) so you can enjoy perpetual, radiant health!
