Following the Muslim Arab invasions of the 630s, the population of Palestine underwent a slow but profound demographic transformation that was expressed in the realms of language, religion and other facets of culture, as well as in economics and settlement patterns. This demographic development was accompanied by the changing built landscape: cities and towns dominated by mosques, minarets, madrasas (colleges) and other Muslim institutions; and, a countryside dotted by Muslim shrines and other buildings. The landscape can be said to have been Islamized, reflecting and influencing demographic and cultural cultural developments in changes.

THE FORMATION OF MUSLIM SOCIETY IN PALESTINE - ERETZ ISRAEL
WELCOME TO THE WEBSITE OF THE RESEARCH GROUP
I.S.F Center of Excellence
Following the Muslim Arab invasions of the 630s, the population of Palestine underwent a slow but profound demographic transformation that was expressed in the realms of language, religion and other facets of culture, as well as in economics and settlement patterns. This demographic development was accompanied by the changing built landscape: cities and towns dominated by mosques, minarets, madrasas (colleges) and other Muslim institutions; and, a countryside dotted by Muslim shrines and other buildings. The landscape can be said to have been Islamized, reflecting and influencing demographic and cultural cultural developments in changes. The primary aim of our project is to investigate some of the salient demographic and the history of Palestine and create a richer picture of the society that developed here under the aegis of a succession of Muslim states.
The program is based at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and includes researchers from the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev and the Israel Antiquities Authority.

Battles Over Labels
I've been working on the publishing platform on the y-intercept.com domain. The theme article I just finished is called "labeling".
Yes, I am wasting time on negative terms.
My hope is to quarantine the discussions on negative terms in the themes folder. That way, I can reduce the appearance of negative themes in my other writings.
The basic idea I want to convey about labeling is that, while examining the effects of words is a good thing, the preoccupation with redefining labels for political or social gains has proven a net negative. A primary reason our discourse is so shrill is because people keep redefining terms for political ends.
BTW: While reading up on Deviant Behavior Theory, I thought it would be fun to see how the theory would pan out.
So, to finish this post, I traveled into the future and snipped the following section from the 2014 California Thought Officers Manual:
How to Handle Accusations of Rape
In the failed regressive conservative societies of the past, people would use the accusation of rape to stigmatize certain acts (and the people engaged in such acts) as "deviant." These regressive labels were used by the regressive-conservative-world-order to maintain an oppressive hegemony.
Our enlightened progressive society recognizes that deviant behavior is not the result of acts of individuals. Deviant behavior is the result of social norms. If there are no social norms; there is no deviant behavior.
In regressive conservative societies, people stigmatized by the label "rapist" would behave in an antisocial manner. The secondary partner in the encounter would feel violated for having had an encounter with a "deviant."
In an enlightened progressive society, there would be no stigmas. The primary party of the encounter would retain self-esteem. The secondary party would not feel violated, because there would be no words for expressing feelings of violation.
Our enlightened progressive society uses a new "judgment-free" speak. We refer instances where the first party initiates a physical encounter with the secondary party as a "consent-free-physical-encounter." We believe that people with a compulsion to consent-free-physical-encounters (formerly called serial rapists) should not be stigmatized for acting upon natural instincts. Great care should be taken to avoid lifestyle judgments, and to preserve their self-esteem. The primary actor in the encounter should not be detained. You might praise initiator of the encounter for using contraception.
The concern of a thought officer during an accusation of rape should be the re-education of the accuser. The thought officer should present the accuser with the correct gender neutral/judgment free language of the new enlightened progressive leadership.
If the secondary party persists with accusations of rape; the thought officer should detain the accuser to be sent to a re-education camp for enlightenment.
PS: To help save the Bureau of Socialized Healthcare the cost of a "fetal-contraception-procedure," the thought officer should, in gender neutral terms, confront the secondary party and give him or her an "embryonic contraception pill" so that he or she does not get pregnant.
Oddly, it appears that action leads to reaction. Apparently, there was another transfer of power sometime between 2014 and 2032. I clipped the following from the 2032 California Police Manual.
The victim of rape is a valued member of our society who deserves comfort, counseling and support. The rapist is a perverted bastard, and if you accidentally slammed his face into the doorjamb of the squad car during the arrest … well, we can overlook a few bruises.
Changing the language didn't change things after all.

More traits associated with your Neanderthal DNA
After humans and Neanderthals met many thousands of years ago, the two species began interbreeding. Although Neanderthals aren't around anymore, about two percent of the DNA in non-African people living today comes from them. Recent studies have shown that some of those Neanderthal genes have contributed to human immunity and modern diseases. including skin tone, hair color, sleep patterns, mood, and even a person's smoking status.
Inspired by an earlier study that found associations between Neanderthal DNA and disease risk, Janet Kelso at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Germany says her team was interested in exploring connections between Neanderthal DNA and traits unrelated to disease. In other words, they wanted to uncover the "influence Neanderthal DNA might be having on ordinary variation in people today."
Because Neanderthal alleles are relatively rare, the researchers needed data representing a really large number of people. They found what they were looking for in data representing more than 112,000 participants in the UK Biobank pilot study. The Biobank includes genetic data along with information on many traits related to physical appearance, diet, sun exposure, behavior, and disease.
Earlier studies had suggested that human genes involved in skin and hair biology were strongly influenced by Neanderthal DNA, Kelso says. But it hadn't been clear how.
"We can now show that it is skin tone, and the ease with which one tans, as well as hair color that are affected," Kelso says.
The researchers observe multiple different Neanderthal alleles contributing to skin and hair tones. What they found somewhat surprising is that some Neanderthal alleles are associated with lighter skin tones and others with darker skin tones. The same was true for hair color.
"These findings suggest that Neanderthals might have differed in their hair and skin tones, much as people now do" adds Michael Dannemann, first author of the study.
Kelso notes that the traits influenced by Neanderthal DNA, including skin and hair pigmentation, mood, and sleeping patterns are all linked to sunlight exposure. When modern humans arrived in Eurasia about 100,000 years ago, Neanderthals had already lived there for thousands of years. They were likely well adapted to lower and more variable levels of ultraviolet radiation from the sun than the new human arrivals from Africa were accustomed to.
"Skin and hair color, circadian rhythms and mood are all influenced by light exposure," the researchers wrote. "We speculate that their identification in our analysis suggests that sun exposure may have shaped Neanderthal phenotypes and that gene flow into modern humans continues to contribute to variation in these traits today."
Kelso and her colleagues say they'll continue to explore Neanderthals' influence on modern-day traits as more data becomes available.

Plusieurs livres du Nouveau Testament sont considérés comme pseudépigraphes par les chercheurs : 6 des 13 Épîtres pauliniennes, les Épîtres catholiques ainsi que les évangiles selon Matthieu et selon Jean. Ces deux derniers textes ont longtemps été attribués par la tradition chrétienne aux apôtres Matthieu et Jean, thèse qui n'est plus retenue par les historiens..

Présentation
La pseudépigraphie est un procédé par lequel on écrit un livre sous un nom d'emprunt, en général celui d'un personnage important. Cette pratique répandue dans l'Antiquité permet de placer le texte sous l'autorité du personnage mentionné.

Épîtres pauliniennes

Authenticité
Treize Épîtres de Paul sont explicitement attribuées à Paul de Tarse, mais seules sept d'entre elles sont jugées authentiques par le consensus historien, c'est-à-dire, précise François Vouga, « ayant été dictées et envoyées personnellement par l'apôtre ». Il s'agit de Rm, 1 Co, 2 Co, Ga, Ph, 1 Th et Phm, qui portent chez les spécialistes le nom de « proto-pauliniennes ». Le terme d'« authentiques » risque toutefois de prêter à confusion dans la mesure où il disqualifie a contrario les six lettres dites « inauthentiques », qui sont néanmoins l'œuvre de disciples de Paul, se réclament de lui et « se situent aussi bien dans son sillage que sous son autorité ».

Les pseudépigraphes
Six lettres sont considérées comme pseudépigraphes.
 Les 3 « épîtres deutéro-pauliniennes », rédigées par des proches de Paul appartenant à la première génération de ses disciples :
 Épître aux Colossiens (Col). Date et lieu probables : vers 80, Rome.
 Épître aux Éphésiens (Ép). Date probable : années 90.
 Deuxième épître aux Thessaloniciens (2 Th).
 Les 3 « épîtres pastorales » ou « trito-pauliniennes », écrites par des disciples plus tardifs :
 Première épître à Timothée (1 Tm). Date probable : fin du .
 Deuxième épître à Timothée (2 Tm). Date probable : fin du .
 Épître à Tite (Tt). Date probable : fin du .

Épîtres catholiques
Précédant immédiatement les Épîtres catholiques proprement dites, l'Épître aux Hébreux ne correspond pas à la définition de l'épigraphie puisqu'elle ne comporte pas de nom d'auteur. Elle semble dater de 86-96 et provenir des milieux hellénistes de Palestine.

Sont considérées comme pseudépigraphes :
 Épître de Jacques (Jc). Date et lieu probables : 80-90, peut-être Palestine.
 Première épître de Pierre (1 P). Épigraphe possible et date incertaine.
 Deuxième épître de Pierre (2 P). Date probable : v. 125. Possible réédition de Jude.
 Première épître de Jean (1 Jn). Date probable : v. 90. Postérieure à 2 Jn et à 3 Jn.
 Deuxième épître de Jean (2 Jn) Date incertaine, Asie.
 Troisième épître de Jean (3 Jn) Date incertaine, Asie.
 Épître de Jude (Jude). Date et lieu probables : v. 90, peut-être Palestine.

Hands-On Science Ignites Passion in Young Minds
Words by 3p Contributor
By Victoria L. May, Washington University
There is a growing need for interdisciplinary approaches to address many of the modern challenges to advancing research, innovation and technological development. This creates a call for science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education—not just in our classrooms, but also in our economic potential. As careers in STEM grow, we recognize the importance of equipping students with the 21st century skills necessary for them to thrive.
The development of these skills is the driving force behind the efforts of Washington University's Institute for School Partnership (ISP). With a passion for enhancing STEM education for teachers and students in St. Louis, ISP partnered with major corporations in the community to launch STEMpact. This initiative utilizes the combined resources and human capital of these companies to develop STEM-capable teachers, thereby fostering STEM-capable students. We've had great success with these programs, reaching more than 30,000 students in the St. Louis area. One key partner in our work to further science education—and founding member of STEMpact—has been MilliporeSigma.
Beyond working with us on STEMpact, MilliporeSigma also engaged us to explore ways to make science come to life in the classroom. Together, we collaborated to develop lessons for MilliporeSigma's Curiosity Labs™ program—a library of interactive science experiments using Next Generation Science Standards. We provided the company's scientists with a blueprint for age-appropriate lessons that are easily adapted, expanded and modified. These inquiry-based, hands-on science experiences range from constructing a water filtration device to learning about chemiluminescence and creating a glow stick. Better yet, they're delivered to classrooms around the world by MilliporeSigma employee volunteers—allowing students to directly engage with professionals in the field.
Science industry experts agree that hands-on laboratory experiences are critical to cultivating student interest in STEM. And the Curiosity Labs™ lessons are proof, with 79 percent of participants reporting an increase in content knowledge following the lesson; 80 percent demonstrating confidence in science; and 81 percent stating that they "enjoy" science.
The reach of the Curiosity Labs™ program is impressive—having reached more than 40,000 students in 2016 alone. To think something conceived and refined in St. Louis has spread so broadly—to tens of thousands of students across six continents—is simply incredible.
To immerse even more young minds in the world of science, MilliporeSigma recently launched the Curiosity Cube™—a mobile science lab that builds on the successful Curiosity Labs™ lessons we helped create. The Curiosity Cube™ kicked off its journey across the United States earlier this year, with a goal to bring interactive, hands-on science to more than 350,000 students and their families in 2017. Inside the Curiosity Cube™, visitors can find and fix mutations using gene-editing technology and explore the unseen world by looking through microscopes and manipulating cells on touchscreen monitors. These experiments are not just fascinating for kids—they bring science to life for visitors of all ages.
It's exciting to see these experiences being made available to even more curious minds. Too many students get to high school without the confidence to tackle STEM subjects or an awareness of the opportunities waiting for them in STEM fields. That's why it's important to make inroads with students when it matters most—in elementary and middle school.
We invite other businesses to join STEMpact in our drive to improve STEM education. Together, we can not only strengthen the economic future of our region and beyond, but also show students the remarkable breakthroughs they can achieve through STEM.
Victoria L. May is executive director of the Institute for School Partnership (ISP) at Washington University in St. Louis, and assistant dean of Arts & Sciences

A very good Midland High football team ran into an even better Muskegon High team on Saturday afternoon at Midland Stadium.
Size, strength and speed carried the No. 3 Big Reds to a 49-21 victory over the No. 1 Chemics in a Division 2 regional final, ending a fantastic season for coach Eric Methner's Chemics, who finished 11-1.
Senior fullback John King powered his way to 213 yards and four touchdowns on 19 carries for the Big Reds, who led 34-7 at halftime and finished with 480 yards of offense.
The game came down to Muskegon's size and strength on the offensive and defensive lines, Methner said.
"They have some terrific skill kids, but the thing we really struggled with was just up front," Methner said. "Their offensive line was just outstanding and so was their defensive line. We had a hard time sustaining any blocks and (also) in the pass protection. That was the key to the game.
Midland senior safety Alex Goodwin, who led the Chemics with 11 tackles, agreed that the Big Reds were tough to match up with.
"Muskegon is the fastest team we've seen all year. They're physical and they come at you," Goodwin said. "They're ready from snap one. They don't mess around.
With an impressive crowd of about 1,000 Muskegon fans filling the visiting stands along with Midland's packed home crowd, the Big Reds built a 14-0 lead by scoring on their first two possessions of the game.
Muskegon took the opening kickoff and drove 80 yards in eight plays and scored on King's 2-yard TD run.
After a 63-yard punt by Midland senior Scott Naples, the Big Reds drove 73 yards on two plays and struck again on King's 65-yard TD run with 6:28 left in the first quarter.
Muskegon's next drive was set up by an interception by lineman Jacob Sims at the Muskegon 46, and six plays later, King again scored from 2 yards out to make it 21-0 early in the second quarter.
Fairfield said his team was excited to be able to play an opponent it hadn't faced in the regular season, after having to beat both Grand Rapids Kenowa Hills and Lowell for a second time in the first two rounds of the playoffs.
The Chemics finally responded with an eight-play, 80-yard drive capped by senior Alec Johnson's 5-yard pass to senior Thomas Smith to make it 21-7 with 7:17 left in the half.
But the Big Reds came right back with an 80-yard TD pass from Jalen Smith to E'Monte Briggs for a 28-7 lead. Then Jordon Waire's interception of Johnson at the Muskegon 42 eventually led to a 10-yard TD run by Jalen Smith and a 34-7 lead with 1:02 left in the half.
King had 11 carries for 142 yards and three TDs in the first half, during which Muskegon rolled up 322 yards of offense and held Midland to 94 yards.
But the Chemics got off to a great start in the second half, scoring on the second play from scrimmage on senior Travis Patten's 72-yard sprint down the right sideline to make it 34-14.
Later in the third quarter, Muskegon's Adrian Briseno came up short on a 41-yard field goal attempt.
The Big Reds stretched their lead to 42-14 on the second play of the fourth quarter on King's 33-yard TD run and Keondre Craig's 2-yard conversion pass to D'Vonte Dockery.
Muskegon backup quarterback DeShaun Thrower ran for a 2-yard TD with 6:21 left to pad the lead to 49-14.
Johnson then threw a 29-yard TD pass to Will Williams with 2:56 to go to cap the scoring at 49-21.
Johnson completed 11 of 22 passes for 149 yards and two TDs with two interceptions. Williams had four catches for 90 yards and a TD.
Patten had 14 carries for 102 yards.
Muskegon's Jalen Smith was 3 of 6 passing for 100 yards and a TD. The Big Reds finished with 352 yards rushing.
Senior Ryan Singer was 3 for 3 on extra points for the Chemics, while Briseno was 5 for 6. Naples blocked one extra point for Midland.
Goodwin said the Midland team — which won the Saginaw Valley League title outright — was a thrill to be a part of.
Goodwin was one of 25 seniors on the team.
Likewise, Methner said his senior class and his team as a whole did an outstanding job.
"I'm absolutely privileged to coach them," he said. "We had a great year and today is not going to diminish that. ... It's tough seeing them come off (the field). It's hard not to be emotional, especially for your seniors.
Michael Alexander had nine tackles, Michael Wright had seven tackles, Naples had six tackles, and Brady Harbron had five tackles for Midland.

In pictures: 8 of Sweden's weirdest looking buildings

Sweden may have a reputation for its minimalist style, but occasionally the country breaks from the norm, and the results can sometimes be… odd. With that in mind, The Local rounds up eight of Sweden's weirdest looking buildings.
Svampen (Örebro)
As its name suggests, Svampen ("the mushroom" in Swedish) has a fungus-like feel, and if the frequency with which it appears on "Sweden's ugliest building" lists is anything to go by, it's not universally loved.
The water tower in central Swedish city Örebro was designed by architect Sune Lindström, who is better known for the Kuwait Towers in Kuwait City. If you're particularly keen on seeing the giant mushroom up close, there's a cafe and restaurant at the top – with the advantage that you're unable to see Svampen from there.

Globen (Stockholm)
Seeing Globen on a daily basis may mean you get used to it, but there's no denying that the thing is a bit, well, odd.
At best, the sports and music arena conjures up images of similarly golfball-like Spaceship Earth at Disney's Epcot theme park in Florida. At worst, it looks like the Death Star from Star Wars. Not the cool first one though – the unfinished, crappy looking second one from Return of the Jedi.

Lilla Bommen (Gothenburg)
If you squint your eyes, then at night when it's lit up, Lilla Bommen (better known as the "lipstick building" locally) in Gothenburg has some kind of charm, but during the day when it doesn't have smoke and mirrors to help its cause, it's pretty hideous.
With few tall buildings in its vicinity, the skyscraper has nowhere to hide, and if you're coming from the north over Götaälvbron, the tower does a great job of sticking out like a sore thumb on the central Gothenburg waterfront.

Dragon Gate (Älvkarleby)
A sprawling Chinese-style hotel complex built next to a motorway in an otherwise unremarkable Swedish town for no obvious reason at all – even before you actually see an image of Dragon Gate, you know it's going to be weird.
The story is suitably bizarre: in 2004 Chinese billionaire Jingchun Li bought the former Hotel Älvkarlen with the hope of converting it into a popular attraction "where east meets west", but though the building has earned a reputation, it's not for its outstanding merit.
More than a decade later, parts of the property have still to be opened to the public and perhaps never will: in May it was put up for sale.

Ting1 (Örnsköldsvik)
According to its Wikipedia page, Örnsköldsvik is known as "an exporter of pulp and paper products", but it's also home to a particularly unique building: Ting1, a multi-coloured apartment tower built on top of the town's old courthouse.
With protruding, cube-shaped balconies and a red, green and yellow colour scheme, it's easy to see why the thing has the nickname "the Lego house". Swedish architect Gert Wingårdh is the brains behind it, by the way.

Villa Villekulla (Visby)
Pippi Longstocking fans will likely love this yellow, pink and green mess of a structure just outside Gotland's medieval city Visby. Others may not be so enthused…
First built in 1902, the house was used in the 1969 Pippi Longstocking TV series as well as some of the movies, and originally stood in a different Visby location before being moved to its current home in the Kneippbyn resort.
Oh, and there's sometimes a horse on the front porch, naturally.

Turning Torso (Malmö)
Unlike many of the buildings on this list, the Turning Torso in Malmö's Västra Hamnen neighbourhood isn't necessarily ugly, but it is… different. Marketed as "the world's first twisting skyscraper", the tower has been open for more than a decade now and is probably the Swedish city's most eye-catching building. Just ask nearby neighbours Copenhagen, who can see it from across the Öresund Strait on a clear day.
Recognize the tower even though you haven't been to Sweden? It features in the intro to and transitional shots from hit Swedish-Danish drama The Bridge. The exterior shots of Saga's apartment are also filmed in Västra Hamnen.

Victoria Tower (Stockholm)
Everything was going so well with the Victoria Tower until they got to the top.
In the unlikely event that you haven't already noticed it, keep your eye open for the disproportionate structure the next time you're on the road between Arlanda airport and Stockholm. Currently a Scandic hotel, there's a skybar at the top where you can take in some spectacular views of Stockholm suburb Kista...
All joking aside, like all of the buildings on the list the reflective tower divides opinion: some love it, some hate it. It's definitely not boring in any case.
Sweden's top chefs have chosen their favourite Stockholm restaurants, from Michelin-starred culinary blow-outs to some of the best-kept secrets across the entire city. Here we present an exclusive sneak peek into the glory of the some of our best chefs' favourite and funkiest Stockholm food lairs.

Executive Sessions: What Municipalities Need to Know (Ohio)
One of the strengths of American government is the right of the public to know and understand the actions of their elected representatives. This includes not merely the right to know a government body's final decision on a matter, but the ways and means by which those decisions were reached. There is great historical significance to this basic foundation of popular government, and our founding fathers keenly understood this principle.
-- THE SUPREME COURT OF OHIO1
General Principles of the Open Meetings Act
Ohio law disfavors secret meetings of public bodies. This is consistent with the general notion that government should be transparent. Ohio Revised Code Section 121.22, sometimes referred to as the Open Meetings Act, codifies a strong public policy favoring open meetings and carves out discrete exceptions to the general rule that requires public meetings. The open-meetings requirement is to be "liberally construed to require public officials to take official action and to conduct all deliberations upon official business only in open meetings unless the subject matter is specifically excepted by law."2
The Open Meetings Act allows a public body to hold an executive (i.e., non-public) session at a regular or special meeting only in limited circumstances. To do so, a public body must have the support, by roll-call vote, of a majority of a quorum of the body, and the majority must limit the purpose of the executive session to the consideration of one or more of the seven categories of matters discussed below. To enter into executive session, the public body must state which one (or more) of the approved matters is to be considered. As one Ohio court recently has explained, by disclosing the purpose of the executive session, "the decision-making processes of the public body" remains open.3 Disclosure of the purpose affords access to the "thematic substance of the issues to be entertained," ultimately furthering the goal of transparency.4
Permissible Matters to Be Considered
Matters related to public employees, officials, licensees, or regulated individuals
A public body may hold an executive session to consider the appointment, employment, dismissal, discipline, promotion, demotion, or compensation of a public employee, official, licensee, or regulated individual.5 A public body also may hold an executive session to consider an investigation of charges or complaints against those individuals, so long as the individual does not request the hearing to be public.6 This exception does not apply to disciplinary or performance-related matters concerning elected officials. The statute expressly provides that a public body may not hold an executive session to discipline or remove of elected officials.7 To hold an executive session under this exception, the motion and vote to hold the executive session must clearly state which of the approved purposes is to be discussed.8 However, it is not necessary to state the name of the person who is to be discussed.9
Purchase or sale of property by the public body
A public body may hold an executive session to consider a purchase of property for public purposes or a sale of property at competitive bidding.10 This exception may be used only if the "premature disclosure" of information would result in an unfair advantage to a person whose interests are adverse to the general public interest.11 This exception may not be used by a member of the public body as ploy to provide non-public information to prospective buyers or sellers.12 Any transaction that results from the covert disclosure of non-public information is void.13
Conferences with an attorney for the public body
A public body may hold an executive session to confer with the public body's attorney concerning disputes involving the public body.14 The attorney-client privilege applies when government agencies consult with counsel for legal advice or assistance.15 The conference-with-attorney exception upholds the longstanding attorney-client privilege and recognizes the fact that "full and frank communication between attorneys and their clients" must be encouraged to "promote broader public interests in the observance of law and administration of justice."16 The attorney-client privilege "recognizes that sound legal advice or advocacy serves the public ends and that such advice or advocacy depends upon the lawyer's being fully informed by the client."17 Although the attorney-client privilege is well recognized and jealously protected in most circumstances, it is not without limitation in the context of open meetings. For the conference-with-attorney exception to apply, the subject matter of such conferences must be limited to the subject of "pending or imminent" court action.18
Matters related to employee bargaining negotiations
A public body may hold an executive session to prepare for, conduct, or review negotiations or bargaining sessions with public employees concerning terms and conditions of employment, including compensation.19 This exception recognizes the importance of non-public labor negotiations allows governmental entities to freely discuss issues pertinent to ongoing employee relations.
Matters that must be kept confidential according to federal or state law
If a public body is considering any matter that has been deemed private or confidential by federal or state law, the public body may enter into an executive session to consider and discuss such matters.20 For example, in the even that a public body needs to discuss matters that are protected by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), it may—and in fact must—do so in private. The Open Meetings Act cannot override any other state or federal law that demands secrecy.
Details of security arrangements and emergency response protocols
If disclosure would jeopardize the security of the public body or public office, a public body may hold an executive session to consider details related to security and emergency response.21 This exception presumably would apply to discussions related to security surrounding public events and public buildings and to protocols for responses to human-caused and natural disasters. Here, the General Assembly has chosen not to allow the principle of transparency to be taken to an illogical end so as to endanger the lives of public officials and employees, or the public at large.
By statute, certain political subdivisions may establish and operate hospitals. The Open Meetings Act provides that county hospitals, joint township hospitals, and municipal hospitals may hold executive sessions to consider trade secrets.22 This exception recognizes the vital role intellectual property plays in the operation of a hospital, particularly in the area of research and development. County hospitals, joint township hospitals, and municipal hospitals are not forced to operate at what would be a competitive disadvantage simply because they are governmentally run.
Formal Action Must Be the Result of an Open Meeting
Although a public body may deliberate concerning the approved matters in a non-public meeting, it cannot take any formal action during the executive session. To further the end of transparent government, any formal action that is not adopted in an open meeting is invalid.23 Similarly, if the public body does not strictly follow the procedures and limitations for holding executive sessions, any formal action adopted in an open meeting that resulted from "deliberations" in a non-public meeting is invalid.24 For example, the court invalidated the action of a village council in Myers v. Hensley.25 There, the court held that the passage of a resolution by a village council was invalid when then council improperly deliberated on the merits of the resolution during an executive session. The council held an executive session after taking a voice vote and did not state which one of the statutory exceptions were to be discussed.26 Under those circumstances, the council was not permitted to deliberate on the merits of a pending resolution. Accordingly, the resolution was declared invalid, even though it was formally passed in open session.27
Significantly, however, members of a public body are not required to perform every step of the decision-making process in public. " 'Deliberations' involve more than information gathering, investigation, or fact-finding. They involve the weighing and examining of reasons for and against a course of action. Deliberations involve a decisional analysis, i.e., an exchange of views on the facts in an attempt to reach a decision."28 Therefore, a public body may gather information in private, even though it cannot deliberate privately without a statutorily authorized purpose.29
It is imperative for any public body to remain familiar with the requirements and limitations associated with the Open Meetings Act. The Ohio General Assembly and Ohio courts unambiguously have declared that the process of government must be transparent, but the Ohio Revised Code balances competing interests related to particularly sensitive information and allows public bodies to deliberate privately concerning certain matters. In fact, in certain circumstances related where disclosure of confidential information is prohibited by law, a public body could subject itself to liability. In this context, members of a public body should take steps to educate themselves through the body's legal counsel, with particular emphasis on the types of exceptions that might apply to their particular body. A prudent, fully-informed approach will allow the members of public bodies to ensure that the ultimate goal of governmental transparency is achieved.

Two reliable players that Ole Gunnar cannot afford to sell and why they mean a lot to Utd
Masia March 31, 2019 1:05 pm GMT+0000 March 31, 2019 1:05 pm GMT+0000 Football, News_Sports, News_Sports.Soccer #PremierLeagueNews, Manchester United, Marcus Rashford, Paul Pogba
A hard task of getting reasonable,tangible and reliable players for the next season is one of the hard nuts that sits before Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after being appointed the new manager at Trafford after a three month's wait.
And as he tries to sign new ones, there are players that are supposed to be shed off from the club and others that he cannot afford to loose regardless of the demand they are getting from outside.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has admitted Manchester United cannot afford to lose Paul Pogba and Marcus Rashford this summer.
United's club record £89million signing Pogba has talked up a potential move to Real Madrid , while Rashford has attracted interest from Barcelona .
United chiefs remain confident Rashford, out of contract at the end of next season, will agree a new deal, despite his representatives having been in talks with United since last autumn.
Pogba has flourished under newly-appointed permanent United boss Solskjaer, but the World Cup winner continues to fuel speculation over a summer switch.
Solskjaer knows keeping both players is vital to his chances of making United a success again and is determined both will stay put this summer so he can build his team around them.
Asked if Pogba and Rashford can achieve everything they want to at United, Solskjaer said: "I would believe so.
"That's our aim as a club – to be achieving what we have done in the past and that's the expectation here.
"And, of course, we're hoping to build a team strong enough and worthy of the history of the club.
"You've got loads of players who you can build a team around and those [Pogba and Rashford] are the two that you asked me about. They're vital for our future."
Rashford's representatives are in talks with United over a contract extension that will double his basic wage to £150,000-a-week, rising to £200,000-a-week with add-ons.
Pogba has two years left on the deal he signed when he returned to United from Juventus in 2016, but talks have yet to open between him and the club over an extension.

2 Kings 21 :: English Standard Version (ESV)
Manasseh Reigns in Judah
2Ki 21:1
2Ki 21:1 - Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Hephzibah.
2Ki 21:2 - And he did what was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to the despicable practices of the nations whom the LORD drove out before the people of Israel.
2Ki 21:3 - For he rebuilt the high places that Hezekiah his father had destroyed, and he erected altars for Baal and made an Asherah, as Ahab king of Israel had done, and worshiped all the host of heaven and served them.
2Ki 21:4 - And he built altars in the house of the LORD, of which the LORD had said, "In Jerusalem will I put my name."
2Ki 21:5 - And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the LORD.
2Ki 21:6 - And he burned his son as an offering[fn] and used fortune-telling and omens and dealt with mediums and with necromancers. He did much evil in the sight of the LORD, provoking him to anger.
2Ki 21:7 - And the carved image of Asherah that he had made he set in the house of which the LORD said to David and to Solomon his son, "In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will put my name forever.
2Ki 21:8 - And I will not cause the feet of Israel to wander anymore out of the land that I gave to their fathers, if only they will be careful to do according to all that I have commanded them, and according to all the Law that my servant Moses commanded them."
2Ki 21:9 - But they did not listen, and Manasseh led them astray to do more evil than the nations had done whom the LORD destroyed before the people of Israel.
Manasseh's Idolatry Denounced
2Ki 21:10
2Ki 21:10 - And the LORD said by his servants the prophets,
2Ki 21:11 - "Because Manasseh king of Judah has committed these abominations and has done things more evil than all that the Amorites did, who were before him, and has made Judah also to sin with his idols,
2Ki 21:12 - therefore thus says the LORD, the God of Israel: Behold, I am bringing upon Jerusalem and Judah such disaster[fn] that the ears of everyone who hears of it will tingle.
2Ki 21:13 - And I will stretch over Jerusalem the measuring line of Samaria, and the plumb line of the house of Ahab, and I will wipe Jerusalem as one wipes a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down.
2Ki 21:14 - And I will forsake the remnant of my heritage and give them into the hand of their enemies, and they shall become a prey and a spoil to all their enemies,
2Ki 21:15 - because they have done what is evil in my sight and have provoked me to anger, since the day their fathers came out of Egypt, even to this day."
2Ki 21:16 - Moreover, Manasseh shed very much innocent blood, till he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another, besides the sin that he made Judah to sin so that they did what was evil in the sight of the LORD.
2Ki 21:17 - Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh and all that he did, and the sin that he committed, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
2Ki 21:18 - And Manasseh slept with his fathers and was buried in the garden of his house, in the garden of Uzza, and Amon his son reigned in his place.
Amon Reigns in Judah
2Ki 21:19 - Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Meshullemeth the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah.
2Ki 21:20 - And he did what was evil in the sight of the LORD, as Manasseh his father had done.
2Ki 21:21 - He walked in all the way in which his father walked and served the idols that his father served and worshiped them.
2Ki 21:22 - He abandoned the LORD, the God of his fathers, and did not walk in the way of the LORD.
2Ki 21:23 - And the servants of Amon conspired against him and put the king to death in his house.
2Ki 21:24 - But the people of the land struck down all those who had conspired against King Amon, and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his place.
2Ki 21:25 - Now the rest of the acts of Amon that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
2Ki 21:26 - And he was buried in his tomb in the garden of Uzza, and Josiah his son reigned in his place.

Feature cars
by Oli Woodman March 16, 201610:19 pm July 24, 2016
The last of a dying breed: Honda Civic FN2 Type-R
Clouted by the success of its own father, the FN2 was quickly dubbed a flawed and gimmicky car, a Type-R from concentrate. Now though, with nearly every hot hatch featuring a turbo under its bonnet, it's probably about time we looked back on what this car is, the last of a dying breed.
The FN2 Civic launched in 2007, it followed the long running and hugely successful EP3 Civic, yet featured the same 2.0 litre naturally aspirated powerplant, albeit a reworked one with a slightly different tune.
Purists groaned at the loaded spec sheet of the FN2, which for a relatively small expense, could include the likes of dual-zone climate control, cruise control, folding mirrors and a sat nav system.
Aesthetically the FN2 was brave, and its futuristic styling both inside and out certainly divided opinion.
Technically speaking, things were generally considered a disappointment too. The Civic had gained a bit of weight over the EP3 and had switched to a cheaper, simpler torsion beam rear suspension design over the independent back end found in the EP Civics.
All of these things very quickly came to light when the UK media reported on this car. The most damning of reports came from BBC's Topgear when Jeremy Clarkson universally slated the model (you can watch it here). I can only imagine how disappointed Honda employees must've been when the show aired, and I can't help but feel that the car may have been looked on entirely differently without his opinion.
Then again, UK television programme Fifth Gear were similarly negative, a point reinforced by the show's Vicky Butler Henderson who pitched the car against its JDM cousin, the FD2. A lap of dramatic understeer concluded with a three second loss for the FN2. (You can watch that here)
In order to understand this car's criticisms fully it's essential to know about the cars that came before it. Closest is the Civic EP3, a car that ticked all the right boxes for so many: it had pace, it had Honda's legendary reliability and it was still practical too.
Most importantly though, it was sharper and more focused than its competitors, and its manic K20 powerplant managed to keep up with boosted competitors. Yes, you had to work its gearbox like it was going out of fashion and out of its VTEC zone you weren't going anywhere fast, but that was the appeal of this car – it made you work for it.
At the same time, those lucky enough to be in Japan had an altogether more focused version of this car. Along with other tweaks, the JDM cars had a higher compression engine that put out more power plus a limited slip differential as standard – meaning you could leave two enthusiastic tyre marks rather than one. Those Japs really do keep the best for themselves.
The cousin of the EP3 was of course the DC5 Integra, which along with its longer wheelbase and coupe body style was only produced for the Japanese market. This car turned things up a notch, and used a more powerful 220hp version again of that same K20 engine. Pair that to an LSD-equipped close ratio gearbox, stiffer suspension and Brembo brakes and you had a real track weapon.
Rather than using a power-sapping belt driven power assisted steering system, EP3's had an electronic steering rack. Subject to much criticism in regards to feel and plagued by early reliability issues, these parts never made their way onto the DC5 which featured regular hydraulic steering throughout its life.
So, Japanese cars were already a whole lot more hardcore than what we were getting in the UK but this was actually nothing new.
Anyway, what I'm getting at here is that as Honda's cars were going forward they were getting softer, less track orientated and less raw. Prior to the DC5/EP3 Honda produced its legendary EK9 Civic, DC2 Integra and the Accord Type R, cars that taught people what Honda meant by a Type R. Each one was a separate marvel of engineering and managed to take the mundane and made it ever so slightly mental.
Why I've got respect for the FN2
It's always fun to gun for the underdog, and the FN2 is a car that on the whole isn't looked back on with a lot of love. This is very much reflected in its second hand values; at the time of publishing this I could find various (admittedly slightly tatty) examples that came in at under £5,000.
Then there's the real world performance, which shouldn't be sniffed at. Later examples and Championship White Edition cars also arrive with the much sought after limited slip-differential as standard. Cars equipped with the LSD actually scored particularly well among motoring journalists who say it transformed the driving experience.
The FN2s, just like EP3s, were also made in Swindon, England, and us Brits should take some pride in that, or at least I think so.
The FN2 did have some quality control issues, and in a typical Type R style there are many that can already be found with rust, but on the whole the mechanicals of these cars are very tough. They're also relatively cheap to maintain and parts are readily available.
I was lucky enough to have a short drive in my friend's 2009 Championship White FN2 last week and I really enjoyed the car. Having previously owned a DC5 Integra I thought I'd be disappointed but for me it offered about 80% of what the Integra did in a package that was more practical (those flat folding seats are awesome) and comfortable. In all honesty I'd take an Integra every time over the FN2 but I still find it hard to believe that people regularly choose Volkswagen Golfs over these cars.
A bargain right now
Better performance than you're probably expecting
Very well equipped
Reliable and strong
Your last chance to get behind a K20 engine
Against:
Owners of older Type-Rs may find the experience more Type-S than Type-R
Everyone will tell you about the 'superior' EP3
Nobody ever called it pretty
The most mature type R with odd looks yet an undeniably engaging drive. The last high revving naturally aspirated Honda
People like to think they're too good for this car, most of them probably aren't. Also, its creature comforts make it a better daily driver than its predecessor. From here in, anyone looking for a high-revving naturally aspirated Honda will have to switch to two wheels.

Jazz Concert preview: fresh faces and guest musicians
1 Nov 2015 hamptonscript
(hamptonu.edu)
Zari Watts | Contributing Writer
In just a few days, the Hampton University jazz ensemble will treat the community to an exciting live performance. On Monday, November 2 at 8 p.m. they will take the stage at Odgen Hall for their first concert of the year. They are ready to share their sound. The concert is free and open to all of Hampton University as well as the public.
Mr. Jerry A. Bracey has been the director of the jazz ensemble for 17 years and also the director of the chamber orchestra at Hampton. He shared some insight into the members of this year's jazz ensemble and how they play. While Mr. Bracey did not make any modifications to the original pieces, he noted, "each group of students brings their own style."
The ensemble is comprised of about 90 percent freshmen, and he shared that they have a "new attitude and a unique sound." He also commented that the members "really love jazz, and like playing jazz." There are about 20 students in the ensemble, both music majors and non-majors. Bracey shares that although "some of them have been playing for years, they're all learning at the same time."
In response to how he believed the student body would receive the concert, Mr. Bracey said confidently, "If they come, they'll love it." He insisted that this live jazz performance would be a positive experience for the students. He also shared that "most students theses days don't pay attention to jazz- they gravitate much more towards hip hop and R&B. But jazz is our music as well."
Like the past jazz ensemble concerts, this one will include selections from a wide array of genres such as swing, latin, dixieland, ballads, and contemporary. For this particular show, the ensemble will be performing pieces from musicians like Mark Taylor and Duke Ellington. The concert will also feature multiple pieces arranged by Sammy Nestico. Nestico is a composer and arranger of "big band" jazz music who arranged for the famous Count Basie jazz orchestra from the 1930's.
Brandon Monroe, a freshman music education major from Connecticut, is one of the many new members of the ensemble. He has been playing instruments since his early childhood, and this will be his first concert as a collegiate musician. His primary instrument is the trumpet, and that is what we will hear him playing for the upcoming show.
He shared a sweet story of how his father influenced his beginnings with the trumpet: "In fourth grade that's when they start up band in the elementary schools. I thought I had to play, actually, because my father played. But it was something I always wanted to do, so I took trumpet because my dad played trumpet, and it just went from there."
To say the least, Brandon is a musically inclined individual. He plays several instruments outside of the jazz ensemble. He mentioned his diverse abilities as a music student, "We all have to take a minor instrument, so mine is piano, but I play other things like guitar, bass, and drums." In addition to the diversity of his abilities, Brandon showed that he has honed his craft with the trumpet saying, "I was switched from the 4th part to playing the lead trumpet. Professor Bracey asked me to play lead! It's actually a jump for me, but it's going well so far." Brandon also plays the trumpet in the marching band.
On top of the fresh sound that the new jazz ensemble members like Brandon will bring to this concert, there's another element that will truly make this event a delight: guest musicians. There will be two guests performing with the ensemble on Monday. The first is Staff Sergeant Dandrick S. Glenn, a bass trombone player for the United States Air Force band who has played for President Obama. The second guest is Robert "Bob" Ransom, a trumpet player who both studied and taught at Hampton University, and former member of the Virginia Symphony.
With the selection of music, the new musicians, and the guest performers, this upcoming jazz concert is sure to be an event worth attending.
Attention all students: Mr. Bracey is looking for trombone players to join the Hampton University jazz ensemble. So regardless of major, Bracey implores all interested students to give it a shot! His office is in Armstrong Hall, room 140.

In 1994, the Canadian Federal Health Protection Branch (HPB) authorized the use of clinical trials to test Paclitaxel for Injection. In September 2001, a Notice of Compliance was issued, marketing authorization for Paclitaxel for Injection was approved based on the proven effectiveness shown during clinical studies in Canada.
Taxanes are a group of naturally occurring molecules known for their cancer-fighting properties. Paclitaxel is a polyoxygenated diterpene with a lateral branch, and has a unique method of action. Essentially, it interferes with the division and proliferation of cells, by affecting the polymerization of tubulin in microtubules during cell mitosis.
Normally during cell division, the microtubules are broken down into their constituent parts of a-tubulin, B-tubulin, and the MAPs (microtubule-associated proteins). With sufficient decomposition of the microtubules, a critical concentration of tubulin is reached, signalling their re-assembly into a new structure, permitting the cell to complete division. Paclitaxel stabilizes the composition of the microtubules, preventing them from decomposing. As a result, the concentration of free tubulin remains below the critical level, the mitotic spindle cannot re-assemble itself, the cell can no longer divide, and eventually dies.
Biolyse Pharma Paclitaxel is a natural molecule extracted from the twigs and needles of Taxus canadensis. This plant is the predominant representative of the Taxacea family in Northeastern America and is closely related to Taxus brevifolia prevailing in Northwestern America. Taxus canadensis is an evergreen shrub growing in a natural environment and is free of any herbicide or pesticide when harvested.
Detailed product information is available in our monograph. Below you will find an overview that may help you to determine whether Paclitaxel for Injection is suitable for your patient.
PACLITAXEL FOR INJECTION (paclitaxel) is contraindicated in patients who have a history of severe hypersensitivity reactions to paclitaxel or other drugs formulated in Cremophor EL (polyethoxylated castor oil).
PACLITAXEL FOR INJECTION should not be used in patients with severe baseline neutropenia (<1,500 cells/mm3) ADMINISTRATION INFORMATION Paclitaxel for Injection (paclitaxel) should be administered under the supervision of a physician experienced in the use of cancer chemotherapy agents. PACLITAXEL FOR INJECTION should be administered as a diluted infusion. Patients receiving PACLITAXEL FOR INJECTION should be pretreated with corticosteroids, antihistamines, and H2 antagonists (such as dexamethasone, diphenhydramine and cimetidine or ranitidine) to minimize hypersensitivity reactions (see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION). Anaphylaxis, and severe hypersensitivity reactions characterized by dyspnea and hypotension requiring treatment, angioedema, and generalized urticaria have occurred in patients receiving paclitaxel. These reactions are probably histamine-mediated. Literature reports indicate that rare fatal reactions have occurred in patients despite pre-treatment. In case of a severe hypersensitivity reaction, PACLITAXEL FOR INJECTION infusion should be discontinued immediately and the patient should not be rechallenged with the drug. PACLITAXEL FOR INJECTION should not be administered to patients with baseline neutrophil counts of less than 1,500 cells/mm3. Bone marrow suppression (primarily neutropenia) is dose and schedule dependent and is the dose-limiting toxicity within a regimen. Neutrophil nadirs occurred at a median of 11 days. Frequent monitoring of blood counts should be instituted during PACLITAXEL FOR INJECTION treatment. Patients should not be retreated with subsequent cycles of PACLITAXEL FOR INJECTION until neutrophils recover to a level >1,500 cells/mmł and platelets recover to a level >100,000 cells/mm3.
Severe cardiac conduction abnormalities have rarely been reported during paclitaxel therapy. If patients develop significant conduction abnormalities during administration, appropriate therapy should be administered and continuous electrocardiographic monitoring should be performed during subsequent therapy with PACLITAXEL FOR INJECTION.
PACLITAXEL FOR INJECTION may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Paclitaxel has been shown to be embryototic and fetotoxic in rabbits and to decrease fertility in rats. There are no studies in pregnant women. Women of childbearing potential should be advised to avoid becoming pregnant during therapy with PACLITAXEL FOR INJECTION.
It is not known whether PACLITAXEL FOR INJECTION is excreted in human milk. Breast feeding should be discontinued for the duration of PACLITAXEL FOR INJECTION therapy.
The safety and effectiveness of PACLITAXEL FOR INJECTION in pediatric patients have not been established.
Hypotension, hypertension and bradycardia have been observed during PACLITAXEL FOR INJECTION (paclitaxel) administration; patients are usually asymptomatic and generally do not require treatment. In severe cases paclitaxel infusions may need to be interrupted or discontinued at the discretion of the treating physician. Frequent monitoring of vital signs, particularly during the first hour of PACLITAXEL FOR INJECTION infusion is recommended. Continuous cardiac monitoring is not required except for patients who develop serious conduction abnormalities.
Although the occurrence of peripheral neuropathy is frequent, the development of severe symptomatology is unusual. A dose reduction of 20% is recommended for all subsequent courses of PACLITAXEL FOR INJECTION for moderate to severe neuropathy.
There is evidence that the toxicity of PACLITAXEL FOR INJECTION is enhanced in patients with increased liver enzymes. Caution should be exercised when administering PACLITAXEL FOR INJECTION to patients with moderate to severe hepatic impairment and dose adjustments should be considered.
The metabolism of paclitaxel is catalysed by cytochrome P450 isoenzymes CYP 3A4 and CYP 2C8. Caution should be exercised when administering paclitaxel concominently with known substrates, inducers or inhibitors of these isoenzymes.
Since PACLITAXEL FOR INJECTION contains ethanol, consideration should be given to the possibility of CNS and other effects.
Dyspnea, flushing, chest pain and tachycardia were the most frequent signs and symptoms of hypersensitivity reactions. These reactions occurred generally in early treatment courses and within the first hour of infusion. Detailed information concerning hypersensitivity reactions is available in our product monograph.
The product monograph for Paclitaxel is available upon request.
