Emerging Markets (green line) beating both the S&P 500 (purple) and the Euro Stoxx 50 (orange). With so many people betting on risk-off environment, it's pretty counterintuitive that the riskiest part of the global stock market had the smallest drawdown in December and is the market that is biggest gainer!
It's going to be very interesting to see how this plays out from here. Definitely something I will be keeping an eye on.

Open access initiatives and transformative agreements: Interview with Colleen Campbell
The transition from subscription-based to open access publishing of scholarly articles has become a focus within scientific community during recent years. This movement is led by the Open Access 2020 Initiative, a global alliance formed to accelerate whole transition process. Among the main strategies to increase open access publishing are transformative open access agreements, which reduce or remove open access publishing fees for authors.
About this, and much more, we ask Colleen Campbell from the Open Access 2020 Initiative.
Thank you for accepting the interview Colleen. Could you please tell us a bit about the Open Access 2020 Initiative?
Let me start out by giving a little background into the Open Access 2020 Initiative (OA2020). OA2020 grew out of discussion among key stakeholders in the global research community at the 12th Berlin Open Access Conference. It had been more than a decade since the first had produced the Berlin Declaration on Open Access to Knowledge in the Sciences and Humanities, and there was strong consensus that while some slow and steady progress toward the vision of an open knowledge environment had been made, new efforts were necessary in order to reach that goal.
Up until that point, efforts to enable openness revolved around creating new open access journals and platforms, like PLoS or eLife, and developing new infrastructure for scholarly communication, such as pre-print servers like arXiv and institutional repositories. But while these strategies are important pathways to openness in their own right, they have not been successful in posing any real threat to the subscription paywall system that dominates the bulk of today's scholarly journals. After nearly 20 years of open access advocacy, around 80% of new research papers are still published in journals locked behind subscription paywalls. What was missing in the landscape was a dedicated strategy for making those journals open access.
The money globally spend for journal subscription fees is around 7.6Bn EUR.
OA2020 was officially launched at the 13th Berlin OA conference in 2017 by Co-Chairs, Prof. Dr. Ulrich Pöschl, Max Planck Institute for Chemistry and Prof. Dr. Gerard Meijer, Fritz Haber Institute (FHI) of the Max Planck Society. The initiative was galvanised by new insight into the financial streams that flow into subscription-based scholarly journal publishing, described in the Max Planck Digital Library White Paper "Disrupting the subscription journals' business model for the necessary large-scale transformation to open access". Essentially, the White Paper revealed that the money libraries, globally, invest in journal subscription fees—on the order of 7.6Bn EUR—is more than sufficient to support those same journals if they were published under an open access model. It is simple math, really: subscription journals publish around 2 M articles a year, which means that libraries are sustaining an average cost of around EUR 3.800 per article under subscriptions. Yet, when comparing that per-article (subscription) cost with the standard fees charged to authors for open access publishing of articles (which are averaging at less than EUR 2.000), it becomes immediately apparent that there is more than enough money in the subscription system to sustain a transition of today's scholarly journals to open access business models.
That knowledge is at the basis of the mission of OA2020, formulated in the Expression of Interest in the Large Scale Implementation of Open Access to Scholarly Journals. The institutions that participate in OA2020 aim to transform the current corpus of scholarly journals from subscription to open access business models and make best efforts to repurpose their subscription budgets to enable this transition. Of course, while the high-level math may look simple, enacting this transition is a complex process, and a big part of my coordinating role at OA2020 is to lead capacity-building activities to empower librarians and other stakeholders with strategic insights and essential skills to help them work through this transition.
The transformative open access agreements are now present worldwide. How important are they for open access publishing? What are benefits from these agreements for scientists, libraries, and publishers?
Transformative agreements are centrally negotiated agreements with publishers that repurposes subscription payments to cover open access fees.
One of the key challenges of the open access movement before OA2020 was that despite all of the clear benefits that publishing articles openly brings to scholars and scientists, learners and educators, patients and medical practitioners, policy makers, entrepreneurs, and citizens at large, the pathway for authors was not at all easy. For authors to make their articles openly available has, till now, meant limiting their choice of where to submit to a relatively small number of fully open access journals, or having to pay an APC (article processing charge), or remembering to deposit a copy of their manuscript in their institutional repository after an embargo period of up to 24 months. In addition to these complications, national and institutional evaluation systems often put authors under pressure to publish in high-impact—but still subscription-based—journals, while grant funders, on the other hand, require that results be published openly; this puts authors between a rock and a hard place. OA2020 aims to remove some of that pressure by changing the business model underlying subscription-based journals. Ultimately, the institutions engaged in OA2020 are seeking to bring open access to authors, wherever they choose to publish their articles.
Transformative agreements are one of the key tactics for achieving this transition; they are centrally negotiated agreements with scholarly publishers in which former subscription payments of an institution, or consortium of institutions, are repurposed to cover open access publishing of the articles by their researchers. In this way, authors are granted the ability to retain copyright of their articles and publish them openly, without being burdened with open access publishing fees.
At the same time, transformative agreements give publishers, institutions, and their libraries, a viable framework to re-orient all of the operational and financial processes, that are currently deeply rooted in the subscription-based system, around open access, instead.
The Projekt DEAL is one of the biggest transformative open access agreements so far, signed between German academic institutions and two publishers (Wiley and Springer Nature).
The Alliance of Science Organizations in Germany instituted DEAL to negotiate nationwide agreements with the scholarly publishers in whose journals authors affiliated with German research instituitons publish most. There were three main objectives to the negotiations:
Give all scholars in Germany the opportunity to publish the results of their research openly, securing the right to freely share, use and re-use their peer-reviewed articles so that researchers everywhere can learn from and build on their findings,
Grant all learners in Germany equal and permanent access to complete portfolios of high quality scholarly journal content to expand the collective knowledge capacity; and, to achieve these goals,
Institute a fair, reasonable, and future-oriented cost model to restructure the inequitable financial streams of the subscription system around open dissemination of research.
The DEAL agreements have enabled open access publishing for around 30% of the article output coming from German institutions.
With the two agreements achieved so far, with Wiley and Springer Nature, DEAL has enabled open access publishing for around 30% of the article output coming from German institutions. (Elsevier represents another 20%, but negotiations with this publisher are still suspended). At the same time, reading access for all DEAL institutions has been expanded to the full online portfolio of journals—closing the knowledge gap even for those institutions who previously could not afford to subscribe. And, in terms of cost, the DEAL agreements have actually reduced costs overall: the cost for the services negotiated in the agreements is cost-neutral with respect to the previous collective subscription expenditure, which means that the 'hybrid' APCs that authors previously paid to publish articles openly in, otherwise, subscription journals have been removed from the equation. This is an extremely important aspect of the DEAL agreements, as in recent years there has been a year-on-year increase in spending on 'hybrid' APCs of around 15%.
Do you think the Projekt DEAL helped to bring more and better transformative open access agreements?
Transformative agreements can be seen as an evolution in the way libraries interact with scholarly publishers on behalf of researchers (readers and authors) and, since they are meant to be transitional, the agreements come with a great level of creativity and experimentation as new approaches are tested. There is no doubt that Germany's nationwide DEAL agreements have introduced some important benchmarks in the scholarly publishing landscape, but they are by no means the first to do so, nor the furthest along in the effort to enable open access publishing for all of a country's research outputs. The ESAC Market Watch reveals some pretty amazing views of the growth of open access via transformative agreements and the impacts that these agreements are having in enabling open access to the research articles produced in country-level contexts.
One of the key innovations of the DEAL agreements was to disaggregate an annual lump-sum subscription fee to a comprehensive per-article fee.
One of the key innovations of the DEAL agreements has been the "Publish and Read, or PAR" cost model. In the traditional subscription-based model, institutions paid lump-sum subscription fees which were largely based on legacy print subscription fees. With the digital transition, publishers incorporated individual journals into one "big deal" and, over the years as publisher journal portfolios grew, these big deals came to occupy ever greater shares of library budgets. The DEAL PAR model, on the other hand, disaggregates the "big deal". Instead of paying one opaque, annual fee for the whole deal, costs are articulated at the article level. In this way, publishers earn their fees in proportion to the services they actually provide: one article published, one PAR fee. By disaggregating the lump-sum of subscriptions, the DEAL agreements create more fluidity for their budget structures so that institutional investments can follow researchers wherever they choose to publish. You can read more about the DEAL approach here.
How did the Projekt DEAL reflect on trends in publishing and future open access initiatives in your opinion?
At the outset of DEAL, there was most certainly a pragmatic analysis of the publishing trends of authors affiliated with German institutions and of the costs invested in both subscriptions and 'hybrid' APCs. Additionally, all of the Alliance of Science Organizations in Germany were signatories of the original Berlin Declaration on Open Access and the OA2020 Expression of Interest. You could say that the DEAL agreements are the German instantiation of OA2020.
Finally, as the last question, what can we expect next from the Open Access 2020 initiative?
The next important event for OA2020 will be the 15th Berlin Open Access Conference at the end of September, which we are organising together with co-hosts, the University of California. If at the last Berlin conference, transformative agreements were validated as a key pathway to open access on a large scale, we have seen an incredible proliferation of agreements around the world in the past two years—and not just in northern European countries, but also in the US and Asia and even in countries with significantly less financial leverage. The theme of this year's Berlin Conference is "Adapt and Advance" and will be an opportunity for negotiators from research organisations around the world to come together to share their experiences and reflect on ways to advance from the new vantage point we have, collectively, reached in the transition of scholarly publishing to open access. As we work through the transition, there are new challenges to address every step of the way: from how to prioritise open access even in light of increased budget pressures caused by the economic fallout of the global pandemic, to how we can drive more equity into scholarly publishing and ensure that our transformative agreements deliver a system in which authors from all economic and geographic contexts are able to publish their articles open access based on their scientific merit and not on their ability to pay an APC. Stay tuned to the OA2020 Progress Report for more!

Chronicle of Christ Church Southsea, Ashburton Road 1869 – 1972
This page is dedicated to History of Christ Church, Ashburton Road – Kent Road, Southsea. Memory is a priceless category.
A History of Christ Church Congregational Church Southsea:
?To view the source on which the dictum's based, place mouse over the text after the "pencil"! ?
✎1In May 1913 a contributor to the Hampshire Telegraph was sufficiently impressed with Christ Church Congregational Church in Southsea to describe it as 'perhaps the prettiest of all the Nonconformist places of worship in the town.❜ Whether by 'town' he meant Southsea or Portsmouth as a whole is not clear. What is evident, however, is that his visit had been prompted by the arrival of a new pastor, Rev. Crawford Stanley, Christ Church's sixth since the establishment of the cause in the 1860s. At the time, there were six Congregational churches on Portsea Island and Christ Church was one of the most prestigious. In what follows, it is intended to review the origins of Christ Church and survey its history during its eleven pastorates. The long demise of the Church, following its destruction during an air raid in 1941, is the subject of the final section.
✎2 For source material, a heavy reliance has been placed on local newspapers and the official obituaries of Christ Church's ministers published in Congregational Year Books. To date, none of the official records of the Church, such as the minutes of church meetings, or church magazines have been found.❜ Nonetheless, it has still been possible to construct an informed narrative.
✎3 The initial steps towards the founding of Christ Church were taken in the mid-19th century. At the forefront of this initiative were members of Highbury Chapel, one of Portsmouth's oldest Independent places of worship, and of King Street Chapel. They were keen to establish a Congregational presence in the rapidly growing area of Southsea, described by Patterson as 'a Victorian seaside resort … [with] piers, hotels, ornamental gardens and a railway line'.❜✎4 According to Offord, 'The first small church [which was to become known as Christ Church] was built in 1865 in Ashburton Road. The congregation rapidly grew, and a large new church was built in 1871 on the corner of Ashburton and Kent Roads'.❜ An account, published in an October 1900 edition of the Portsmouth Evening News, indicates that 'the first small church' was in fact the school-room opened in 1868:
✎5… [it] was the result of an effort commenced in 1865 … [When] a Committee was formed, and the site on which the church and school buildings was secured. Mr Stent of Warminster, prepared the plans, and the school-room, which was also to serve as a temporary chapel, was built and opened for worship in December 1868.❜
In due course, Henry Arkell was appointed to be the Church's first minister.
✎6Henry Arkell 1870 to 1881: 'a period of happy union, work and fellowship'❜
✎7In his mid-twenties when he moved to Southsea,❜✎8Arkell had previously been co-pastor at Trinity Congregational Church in Poplar serving alongside Dr George Smith.❜✎9This had been Arkell's first pastorate and although 'it was a strenuous time … it developed and disciplined his powers so that when … he received a call to Christ Church Southsea he was not daunted by the difficulties awaiting him including the erection of a new sanctuary'.❜ In the summer of 1869 he supplied the pulpit at Christ Church and as reported at his recognition service in March 1870 'his preaching left a deep impression on many minds, and the attendance on the Sabbaths as well as on the week days greatly increased.' In the light of this, 'it was unanimously resolved to invite him' to serve as Christ Church's first pastor. Notwithstanding what was described as 'a feeble hope of securing him', after 'a few weeks careful and prayerful consideration', Arkell accepted the post.
It is noteworthy that, from other comments made at his recognition service, the emphasis was very much on collaboration between churches in the area. In the words of Rev. Joseph Gelson Gregson, minister of King Street Baptist Church, Portsmouth:
✎10… the work in which they were engaged was too high and noble to admit of jealousy or competition. With a population of 120,000 there was room for more labourers … There should … be sympathy between … [churches] but no meddling, kindliness of spirit but not interference, and there should be faithfulness and common honesty in speaking of each other, and not sycophantic hypocrisy.❜
This theme was pursued by other ministers including Rev. Frederick Baldey, the Vicar of St Simon's, an indicator of the ecumenical spirit already prevailing in Southsea.
✎11During the first few months of Arkell's pastorate, one of the principal tasks was the construction of the new church. Soon after his arrival in September 1870, the foundation stone was laid on November 3rd by John Kemp-Welch of Sopley Park. 'In a cavity beneath the stone a bottle, containing a copy of the Times, the Nonconformist, the Hampshire Telegraph, the Portsmouth Times, a statement of the history of the church and some copper coins, were placed.❜
The new church building was formally opened by Edward Miall MP in July 1872. However, at this stage it was still incomplete as far as some of the detail was concerned:
The church, which is in the late early English style of architecture, consists of nave, transepts and aisles, with an apse formed by counter-arches. At the south end of the nave, an organ chamber is also formed by a similar series of arches on the east side of the apse. In the back is a spacious school room and vestry, which has for the last two years been used for worship. The arcades on each side of the nave are carried on granite shafts, with Bath-stone bases and caps. The latter have been prepared for carving; but the funds have not yet come in, they are left unfinished … No pulpit has yet been erected, a small platform being occupied by the preacher; nor has any furniture been provided for the apse, in consequence of the lack of funds. For this cause also there is no organ, a harmonium being used for the musical portion of the services.
✎12The new church could accommodate 650 worshippers. In his sermon at the morning service, held to celebrate the Church's opening, it was highly appropriate that the visiting preacher Rev Dr. John Stoughton, Professor of Historical Theology at New College, should stress that 'all material architecture was subordinate to the spiritual house not made with hands'.❜
Nonetheless, there was much rejoicing in late 1878, when it was reported in the Church minutes that the debt incurred in building the Church had been extinguished. In the following year:
✎13… the trustees were requested to raise a sufficient sum to purchase the two houses in Ashburton-road adjoining the schoolroom, pay for the organ recently placed in the church, erect a gallery and the boundary wall, carve the remaining caps of the columns, and complete the upper end of the church.❜
Of course, a church is far more than its buildings and in September 1872 a Sunday school had been formed and opened a month later with 42 scholars and nine teachers present. In addition, other organisations were started in keeping with the doctrine that was to become known as the 'institutional church'.
The effectiveness of Arkell's pastorate, which lasted until 1881, in making Christ Church a 'spiritual house' was attested in comments made at his farewell meeting by one of the deacons, Mr A.J. Sapp:
✎14The result of the [pastor's] beneficent teaching upon the congregation, both in the church and in the [Sunday] school, was to be seen in the Dorcas Society, the Young Men's Improvement Society, and in the visits which had been paid to the sick, to the outcasts, and to the dying.❜
✎15Thus, the church had already made its presence felt in performing not only a spiritual role but also a social one. It is also worthy of mention that representatives of other denominations were again present at this event. Thanks were expressed more tangibly in the form of gifts of £80 and 'a silver tea and coffee service and silver salver, on which the engraved inscription was: "Presented to the Rev H.E. and Mrs Arkell with a purse of money, as a token of the affectionate esteem, by the church and congregation, on the occasion of Mr. Arkell leaving the pastorate of Southsea Congregational Church, after eleven years of faithful and valued services, April 8th, 1881." ' The reference to Mrs Arkell was an acknowledgment of the important contribution that pastors' wives frequently made to the effectiveness of their husbands' ministries.❜✎16As recorded in his official obituary, Arkell 'always regarded the building and building up of … [Christ Church] as the work of his life, and never ceased to be grateful for the strong and lasting friendships of his Southsea pastorate [emphasis in the original].' ❜✎17 Sadly, it was a 'nervous breakdown' that convinced him of the need to find 'a less enervating climate than Southsea.' In all the churches that he served he preached what was described as a 'full-orbed Gospel – a saviour crucified and risen'.❜
✎18As was often the case with Congregational churches, following Arkell's departure Christ Church was without a minister for a considerable time before a successor could be found.❜ During this period, a number of potential candidates 'preached with a view' to being selected, in the event the choice fell on George Sandwell, preaching his opening sermon as minister on the first Sunday in October 1882.

SHAME - a good thing or a bad thing?
An inner city schoolteacher struggling with troubled students was corrected by her superiors (shamed - if you will) for putting shame upon a child for bad behavior. It was deemed necessary to make the school and its environment to be positive, to help the child eventually succeed in life. We get that, the need to help a child at risk, with the widespread problematic homelife so many suffer. Yet this misguided and incomplete philosophy inadvertently encouraged disrespect of authority, further misbehavior, and misery for all involved. We ask the question, is shame a good thing or a bad thing?
Before the Fall of man: Genesis 2:25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
After a person is converted to Christ: Romans 6:21 What fruit did you have then in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.
Wikipedia says: Shame is a negative, painful, social emotion that can be seen as resulting "...from comparison of the self's action with the self's standards..."
This is an unfortunate definition because if "self" is made the point of reference, then it encourages the lowering of personal & cultural standards to make the behavior more acceptable. If one has guilt and embarrassment because of what has been done, such an one may seek to remove the "standard" that causes such emotions, and call for love or acceptance. This pathway is a downward one, without a good end for the individual and the culture. Therefore we can see there is a value in having standards and expectations, and shame plays a role. We must also know why there is evil in the world, and for that we must turn to scripture. For if there is no evil, there is no wrong, and then there is no shame.
God made me this way, therefore it is ok to behave according to my desires.
Our goal should be to seek the mind of God in all things, including the matter of right and wrong, and the role shame plays. The word in the Greek New Testament is aischuno, and has a similar inflection as discussed above, which includes the feeling or fear that keeps a person from doing something. Or if the action is already done, it speaks to the internal consequences of guilt that follow. The Hebrew word is bos, with much the same connotation including a personal feeling of worthlessness, and disappointment.
Philippians 3:19 ...men "glory in their shame"
Romans 1:26-27 ...God judicially gives men over "to vile passions" where "men with men committing what is shameful.
Shameless people increasingly flaunt their unholiness and get calloused to God and towards what is right and proper. They drag down themselves and others. Shame is useful, shame is necessary, even if shame is negative - and even if it makes us feel bad.
Is that all that can be said? Let us look further...to the experience of Paul and David.
Both experienced significant regret for the shame of their past, Paul-before conversion- with regard to his pride as a pharisee and David's adultery and murder as King of Israel.
Philippians 3:13-14 '"...forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus...."
Though the word "shame" does not appear in this Philippians text, Paul is talking about such things in his past, and a proud pathway he now had left behind - things now counted as loss, even as dung, in comparison to knowing Christ.
The mention of broken bones likely has the background of a shepherd dealing with wayward sheep. One present-day shepherd tells of 1-2 in the sheepfold which constantly seek ways of escape and often others will follow their lead into danger. The remedy for them may be tying a long stick to the front of them to bar the way through the hedges and fences....or if that is insufficient, laming them by breaking a leg or two is appropriate. David knew the feeling of metaphorical broken legs, and realized that until the error was confessed & forsaken, the shame of the present left no room for the joy and gladness he had lost.
The methods of God are various in dealing with His wayward ones, and He scourges every son whom He receives Heb. 12:6. Yet we can say with assurance that had the fear of the Lord been present, had the conscience been active regarding that which is shameful, the chastised one-any of us- can avoid such divine dealings. There is a divine government that takes place in every situation, sooner or later. God delights in mercy, not in judgment, which is said to be His strange work (Is. 28:21). Yet God is just, and cannot wink at sin, nor that which is shameful. His eyes are too pure and He charges even His angels with folly, such is His holy nature far beyond our sight.
It is not that the believer in Christ should seek honor, nor esteem, nor respect, nor even approval (if he does he'll eventually be ashamed of that). But he instead finds that in Christ are all these things present in holy fullness - present in Him- in Christ Who is honorable, esteemed, respected, approved, and perfect. And the wonder of all wonders is that his position in Christ affords a completeness and tremendous joy.
ye are complete in Him Colossians 2:10.
Is there a stronger incentive against shameful living, than such identification with Christ? We think not. Yet for each of us there are times and seasons of failure.
Be glad there are still standards in place and you haven't been given over by God to judicial judgment. You need conversion perhaps or cleansing?
There is in Christ - redemption, where the sins you find in yourself were paid for on the cross. The empty tomb is God's "amen" to satisfaction because in His reckoning, the penalty of sin is paid. Repent and believe the gospel.
As a believer you surely have some shame in your past, and are not alone, we all do. Let us do as Paul said, and not "continue" in that sin, but confess & forsake it and press on, to the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
Shame will be present in this life any time we look back and shudder. But when we find ourselves fully accepted in the Beloved, accepted in Christ, there is joy and victory and progress into holy living and away from shameful living.
One final note: The Christian life, some may wrongly assume, is lived in fear of shame, fear of failure, etc. This would not be a true statement. The best Christian life is lived with Christ as the centre, by grace in joy unspeakable. But we must not jettison those things which are deemed "negative" including shame. Shame can be a valuable thing for the lost and also for the saved. Wherever there is sin, therefore, shame should be. And we must face the reality of the human condition. The unsaved person needs shame to point out right and wrong, and ultimately his need of a Savior. The saved person, still has the problem of sin indwelling him (though it does not rule as king anymore!), and from time to time needs the activity of conscience to bring about confession of sin & departure from it.

Umrika examines the American Dream, or more specifically, the perception of America that people living outside of it have, and their desire, ambition, and determination to get there.
The film follows Ramakant (played by Suraj Sharma of Life of Pi and Homeland Season 4), whose brother Udai departs from their tiny village in India for America when Ramakant is a young boy. After his departure to the land most desired, Udai becomes an idol to the people of his hometown – he is the only one of them who made it. Over the course of Ramakant's life, the real story of Udai's journey slowly comes to light, crushing the idea of the Umrikan Dream along with it. As the vision of America becomes bleaker, Indian becomes more vibrant.
Ramakant spends a large part of his life hearing about Umrika – from his mother, his neighbours, and in the letters his brother sends him, emblazoned with pop culture icons and American landmarks. The film provides us with Ramakant's perspective of American customs. He can't wrap his head around them, and it provides some comic relief (as well as moments of reflection), when he explains common American practices, such as the annual killing and eating of a very special bird (Thanksgiving), or the giant rodent that Americans rely on to tell them the weather once a year (Groundhog Day). We can see that he has become slowly desensitized to the sensationalism of America. One of the friends Ramakant makes along the way asks the golden question that begins the unravelling of the American Dream: "What do they have that we don't?" The film leaves us with the notion that the answer, is nothing.
The film plays on two ends of a spectrum. It highlights how much hope the very idea of America (along with the luxury, glamour, and mysticism associated with it) brings to India. Ironically, at the same time it kills them, both literally, and figuratively. One of the most heartbreaking moments in the film occurs when Western technology is introduced to the Ramakant's rural village. It represents a larger issue at hand – the dangers of trying to implement Western ideals and developments in a "foreign" context. As well, it offers a firsthand look at what happens when America tries to "save" developing countries with even their simplest inventions.
The film is relatable to the Indian-born audience, who know firsthand the dreams of America that run deep in India. The film also feeds the diaspora, who might feel something of the reverse – thinking of India when searching for a place to belong, while wondering what those in India see in 'Umrika'.

Seventy-year-old falls to her death at Grand Canyon
By: Clayton Klapper
A 70-year-old woman fell to her death Tuesday at the Grand Canyon.
Park officials say they received a call for help west of the Pipe Creek Vista of the south rim around 1 p.m.
Before rescue crews were able to arrive, the woman fell.
Using the park helicopter and a technical rescue team, rangers found the woman approximately 200 feet below the rim.
The rescue team of about 15 people were eventually able to make it to the woman, but she did not survive the fall.
Her identity has not been released.
Several other deaths have been reported at the park this year, including a person who fell while attempting to take a photo from the rim.
Park staff encourages all visitors to have a safe visit by staying on designated trails and walkways, always keeping a safe distance from the edge of the rim and staying behind railings and fences at overlooks.

Although working in different mediums, different scales and even different countries, artists Simone Webb and Tiffanie Turner both have one element in common; their subject matter. Flora are at the center of both of their works, inevitably forging an exploration into the difference in scale and mediums. In this new work, Webb strays away from exploring the transitionary states that occur in natural phenomena to embrace the delicate and still beauty of Turner's giant, intricate paper flowers. By scaling these large, explosive blooms back down to a size manageable on the printed page, Webb captures their solitary beauty in a way their original capacity never would have granted. Webb and Turner worked together to find the tension and balance in these compositions, which were executed by Webb in her UK studio.


What should you read? Really you should read whatever you enjoy. Simply because if it is nothing more than an irksome duty, after a while you will cease to do it. Fortunately due to the Internet it is possible to read Polish newspapers with no trouble at all. Books may also be found this way, though personally I prefer to hold the book in my hand. If you enjoy reading a book in English try reading it in Polish. If you do not understand some of the Polish text you will remember the English, and following a story that you know will make it easier. Not every English book is available in Polish, that Harry Potter is and so is the Lord of the Rings.
Is it necessary to read in the Polish language? In absolute terms, no it is not; but if one wishes to receive a letter and be able to read it or exist as an adult in a Polish community, the ability to read is essential. If one is interested in historical or contemporary Poland then it is highly desirable to be able to read about your interest in the Polish language. There is an enormous amount of Polish written material, which is most unlikely to be translated ever. At a more advanced level, the differences between written Polish and written English give an interesting insight into both national characters.
Poles write on every subject that one can think of, so if one has some sympathy and interest in Poland it makes sense to read Polish. All this so far is directed at printed Polish and does not apply to hand written Polish. Personally I have no difficulty with graffiti on the walls, though having read the message I do understand its significance. I do have difficulty with the small blurred scrawl that seems to be the distinguishing feature of junior officials. It should be remembered that any document is legal in Poland if it is signed and stamped; legibility is not a condition of legal validity.
Obviously if you have a personal reason for learning Polish such as a relationship with a Pole; if you are able to read, then you will understand the name day cards and other expressions of goodwill that you may receive from your partner's family. As in English so in Polish, there is certainly literature, which is associated with the national psyche. Nobody reads all of his or her national literature but almost everybody is familiar with at least some of it. In England Shakespeare springs to mind immediately; in Poland, Sienkiewicz and Mickiewicz. Obviously Poland has many more distinguished writers and poets, but having some knowledge of Sienkiewicz and Mickiewicz is a minimal requirement for understanding literary allusions.
In fact whether one reads in Polish as a second language or reads some other language, one gains another dimension because the material is not written from a British point of view. Not necessarily better but essentially different and therefore well worth reading in Polish.

The Rules of the Park
I was running in the park near my home several years ago when I heard a father yelling at his son. The father was across the park and apparently wanted to leave, and leave now.
"Get over here and let's go!" he yelled.
The son began to run around the track to get to his father, but he father yelled, "cut across the fields," meaning the two soccer fields between him and his son.
"But, Dad, the signs say the fields are closed," cried the son.
"Cut across the fields," demanded the father.
"The fields are closed, Dad,"
"I said cut across the fields and I mean now!" yelled the father.
The boy reluctantly cut across the soccer fields which had been closed for reseeding and maintenance.
I could not get this interaction between this father and his son out of my head for the rest of my run. I obviously still haven't. As I ran around the soccer fields on the track, I counted the signs that had been posted saying "Field closed. Stay off the grass." There were 8 of them. None of them said, " Stay off the grass, unless you are the father in the gray shirt in a hurry to get home, then it is OK."
This man was forcing his son to disobey the rules of the park. What was he teaching his son? How had this affected his son? How would this affect his son in the years ahead? I am sure none of these questions entered the father's head. He was in a hurry. The rules did not matter to him. The means justified the end.
And we might say that this one child, running across the grass, did not harm the grass. And this may be true. But what if every father who visited the park with his children made them run across the newly sown grass. The grass would never grow. The soccer fields would be nothing but weeds. Soon, there would be no more soccer or soccer teams visiting the park.
The same can be said of the lady that roams the park with a small shovel and a bag. She digs up interesting plants that she sees and loads them in her car. I assume that she is taking them to her home where she plants them in her plant beds. What if everyone who came to the park brought their shovel and a bag and dug up all of the plants they were interested in and transplanted them to their home garden? The park would soon be devoid of plants.
There is a book that I read years ago entitled, "All I Ever Needed to Know I Learned in Kindergarten" by Robert Fulghum. In it he tells how Kindergarten taught him how to get along with other people and how he still applies these rules to his life today; simple rules like don't yell, don't hit other people, respect the property of others, keep off the grass. But, I guess some people never went to Kindergarten.


Ben Pope, Kieron Pamment & Pat Harding celebrate Pope's winner.
The Hillians produced a fantastic performance to beat high-flyers, Folkestone Invicta, 1-0 in the Emirates FA Cup.
The Hillians have always enjoyed an FA Cup run in previous years, and would be hoping to continue that trend with a win against fellow Bostik Premier side, Folkestone Invicta.
The visitors started the brightest, with McCann and Ter Horst both registering shots on Josh James' goal. The first half proved to be a cagey affair, with both goalkeepers being called into action on numerous occasions. Pat Harding thought he had scored on 18 minutes, but Invicta goalkeeper Roberts had other ideas, making a superb stop. But as they say, "anything you can do I can do better", as Josh James made an even better double save to keep the score at 0-0 on the stroke of half time.
The second half was a different story. Ian Chapman's side started playing fast, energetic and exciting football. It took them only 5 minutes from the restart to find the breakthrough. Tom Cadman excellently pickpocketed Aboagye, before striding forward, and feeding Ben Pope, who smashed the ball into the back of the net. The Hillians continued to press forward, and it could have quite easily been 2 or 3, with Harding and Pope coming close. A nervous last 10 minutes saw all 11 green and black shirts back defending. Folkestone pressed and pressed, looking to force a replay, but Gary Elphick's defence stood firm.
The Hillians progress to the Second Round Qualifying of the FA Cup once again, with Ben Pope's effort the difference. A fantastic cup tie, and an even better team performance.
The Hillians MOTM was awarded to that man, Ben Pope, who not only scored the winner, but worked tirelessly throughout.
Thank you to all you Hillians who came to support the club – absolutely superb as always!
The Second Round Qualifying draw takes place on Monday 10th September.

Acer Aspire 3935 Bluetooth Driver– The most alluring element in the 3935 is seemingly the inherent, double layer DVD copier. If not for that, the framework could have been a ton more slender. Including an inside optical drive may appear like a stage back, however numerous explorers still depend on it for plate based films and programming. In its most glaring exclusion, this tablet doesn't have a HDMI-out port, as do the dv3z and the U330. In any case, forgetting it permitted Acer to incorporate a third USB port. Whatever remains of the components—the 1.3MP webcam, a 5-in-1 card peruser, and a 250GB hard drive—are standard on ultraportables. Like all Aspire portable PCs, the 3935 accompanies a one-year parts-and-work guarantee.The 3935 wins our GreenTech Approved grant, having obtained confirmations from three authorize establishments: Energy Star, EPEAT (Silver), and RoHS. Vitality Star is a U.S. government–backed program that helps organizations understand the vitality effectiveness capability of their items, while EPEAT and RoHS assess items in light of a more extensive scope of ecological properties, including vitality proficiency and recyclability. Besides, PCMag.com ran its own test to guarantee that Acer met our green necessities. We utilized a P3 Kill A Watt meter to record the measure of vitality devoured amid unmoving, rest, and shutdown states. The Aspire 3935 enlisted a 11-watt perusing in the unmoving state, which is 3W lower than Energy Star's rules. In rest and shutdown states, it expended zero watts, which was extremely great.


Historical Outline, by this writer in 1980 and updated here.
There are decisions to be made as a new believer walks the Christian pathway through this world, and more so in this present day with so many voices, and new sects being formed every year. The decisions are about following the Word, or reasoning in our own mind and indulging our own flesh.
In the beginning of Church testimony, believers in Christ continued steadfastly in truth and with one accord (Acts 2:41-47; Romans 16:16). The apostles taught them and admon-ished them, but there began to be a falling away (Rom.16:17-18). When the apostles departed, many Christians embraced human innovations and much of Jewish traditions, and there was generally little regard for the coun-sels of God (II Tim.4:1-8).
About 500 A.D.+ continued disregard by Christians for sound doctrine (Titus 1:9), not continuing in the Spirit (Gal.3:1-3), and allowing leaven (I Cor.5), gave rise to false teachers and more ritualism; then in time the Roman Catholic Religion (RCR) arose with popery, and with hierarchy, ceremonies, and wickedness. In those Middle Ages --500 AD to circa 1500 AD, true believers were scattered, and the faithful ones could only meet in secret because of the terrible persecutions (Acts 20:29). At that time the written Word of God was not available to all.
About 1500 A.D.+ God revived the gospel message widely, after isolated attempts by faithful servants to preach the message in many places from about 1000 A.D. Man's "re-form" brought forth denominationalism with continued hierarchy, rituals, and inventions patterned after the RC religion, but new bold-ness in the gospel---though facing persecutions and slaughter of faithful saints by religionists. Martin Luther ---an RC priest, was a prominent protester against the Roman Catholic Religion, and others were then embolden to speak out. Many godly saints rose up and stood for the Lord. There was a protest movement and attempt at reformation, which soon became separation. The Word of God then began to circulate as more copies were made.
About 1800 A.D.+ after the gospel had been spread abroad, God began to call faithful believers out of the denominated sects which had developed in form like the Roman religion, and with exercise to return to His Word and dependence on the Holy Spirit (Matt.18:20). In 1827-28 there were those who came together in homes in Ireland and England in simplicity like the early church, as members of the "one body" (I Cor.1:2; 12:12), to just continue "steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers" (Acts 2:42). They recognized the priesthood of believers (I Pet.2:5-10). This was a new work and revival by the Spirit and much sound ministry was written, which is available today. A lovely fellowship prevailed. The movement was blessed and spread rapidly to revive precious truth worldwide. Original brothers among them were J.N.Darby, Edward Cronin, William Hutchinson, and J.G.Bellett. Later, William Kelly, G.V.Wigram, and C.H.Mackintosh, and other capable students of the Word became associated with this "breth-ren movement", as it was called.
Satan hated this new work of God and soon raised up the flesh. An independent spirit came forth. Some brethren arose "speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them" (Acts 20:30). A number of saints went out to form new and compromise gatherings back with denominated systems. A faithful testimony continued, however, in spite of the falling away.
"Fundamentalism" then arose among the denominational sects from the "reformantion" time seeking to preserve the gospel there. It also preserved man-made traditions. A so-called "Pentecostal" system came out of that, which denied the eternal security of believers and promoted signs and emotional exper-iences. Satan also began to raise up many wicked Christ rejecting systems, cults, and religions to imitate and confuse (II Cor.11:13-15).
There have been numbers of faithful preachers of righteousness who devoted their lives to witness in a public way from the time of the Apostles, but some were outstanding down through church history as faithful defenders of the faith, who labored to restore the truth of God's Word. This restoration work began in earnest as papal Rome asserted greater control and oppression of the people. With the in-creasing suppression of the truth by the Roman Catholic Religion (circa 500 AD), God began to raise up chosen vessels to revive the gospel message, and by 1800 AD church truth. They had personal failures, as do all servants, but they had zeal and sought to do the work of the Lord. They often paid a great price to honor Him. The more notable men are mentioned here, and some comments are also added from A Brief Synopsis Of The Public History Of The Church, by G.H.S. Price.
Peter Waldo (circa 1100 AD) - denounced the papal system and the corruption in that religion, and preached the gospel clearly and also translated it into the common language. He spent most of his last days in preaching and hiding from his persecutors.
John Wycliffe (c. 1300 AD) - preached the gospel boldly in England, and denounced the RC religion and the Pope, and held to the Word of God as the only authority. He was a scholar and greatly honored, and respected throughout Europe. He translated the Bible into a language for the people. His opposition to the Pope and the religion of Rome spread widely, and resulted in his persecution and many attempts to kill him. He died in relative peace from a stroke.
John Huss (c. 1400 AD) - a martyr in Bohemia who was burned to death by papal authority for his stand on the Word of God only, and his faithful preaching to many in those parts.
Martin Luther (c. 1500 AD) - a RC priest and the principle agent in the protestant reformation movement, who protested loudly directly toward the Pope, and printed a detailed list of charges against the papal system and practices. His theme was "justification by faith" rather than the religion of Rome, and he traveled around Europe preaching everywhere. Having taught the Scriptures as a University professor and priest, he learned the truth of the Word. At first he sought to reform the RC religion, but soon realized that would not happen. His great zeal and prominence was used of God to propagate the gospel truth, especially with the development of printing. The RCC sought often to kill him, but God preserved him, and he ended his days in seclusion and translating of the Bible in 1546.
Ulrich Zwingle (c. 1500 AD) - was a RC priest in Switzerland, who had his eyes opened to the truth of the Bible, and he boldly preached the Word. He proclaimed that all religious observances not found in the Word of God should be abolished. He denounced all religious authority that was written or invented since the days of the Apostles. He reportedly became involved in politics and was a chaplain in the army fighting against RC forces, and was killed in battle.
health and lived a short life.
William Tyndale (c. 1500 AD) - Like many other reformers he opposed the Pope publicly and received excommunication and persecutions, but his work was mostly quiet writings and a good translation of the Bible together with Miles Coverdale. This was well-received everywhere. He was martyred at an early age.
John & Charles Wesley (c. 1700 AD) - They began to preach personal piety and strictness in one's life, and were called Methodists by many. John's simple message of the gospel truth was not well accepted by the religious establishment of leading Christian gatherings, which were spreading everywhere, so he began preaching in the streets. Charles wrote many hymns which were a significant testimony.
Church of Ireland. God led him to see that Christ is the Head of the church, and there is a spiritual body on earth. He saw Christ as the gathering center, rather than religious sects and systems; and he saw the priesthood of believers in the "body of Christ" and the leading of the Holy Spirit, rather than the hierarchy of men, dogma, rituals, and innovations. He separated from ecclesiastical associations and human order, and began to meet with three others of the same persuasion in 1827 in accord with the plain scriptural order. Others also began to embrace this thinking, and Darby traveled about preaching in many places and writing much on church truth. This revival spread rapidly worldwide. Much has been written about this so-called "brethren movement" and the ministry of those early brethren which is available today. Besides Darby, who seems to have been a principle agent in this revival of church truth, some of his contemporaries were J.G. Bellet, G.V. Wigram, W. Kelly, C.H. Mackintosh, and a few other less notable teachers. There have been divisions, and all assemblies have not continued in the same universal fellowship, which Darby held was essential. He departed to be with Christ in 1882.
That is a good question regarding the "one body" of Christ during the "Dark Ages". While the "one body", being all believers in the world, has existed, it was not shown forth in unity by believers. I understand that after the apostolic times, unity in church truth was lost and faithful saints of God were found mostly as individuals meeting in homes, and often without guidance in the Holy Scripture. There was no clear expression of the body of Christ. The scriptural translations were hand-written and not available outside the organized Christian religion until printing was developed in the 1500's. Most people were also not literate in those days. Most ministry was verbal and concerned redemption and not church truth.
The various large gatherings of mostly religious followers became organized around a hierarchy, with their overseers (bishops) assuming more influence. Prominent men soon gained control and began to Judaize the church, and persecution pressed hard against those who resisted the rising centralized religious authority. This is a danger also today.
The gospel message was for a long time only spoken in small gatherings in homes and secretly elsewhere during the Middle Ages, in fear of the authorities and later the papacy of the Roman Catholic Religion (RCR), which banned all testimony not in accord with their religion. The body of Christ (true universal church) has existed since the time of Pentecost (see Acts 2:41-47 and Epistles), yet it was often in secret. One can read more on this in other papers in the Christian Counsel Collection.
Average people were mostly uneducated, and the holy parchments (Bible) were in possession of the RCR (which was essentially the government across the land --circa 500 to 1500 A.D.). They had their religious police with power to arrest any not in allegiance to that religion. One used to be able to read about this in books in college on the Middle Ages, but not much anymore because it is considered not "politically nice" to the Roman Catholic Religion. One can only learn of this at certain Bible distributors. See Foxe's Book of Martyrs, Miller's Church History, and the history of John Bunyon, etc.
In the period of 1000 to 1500 AD some faithful and bold saints began to preach the gospel openly in God's revival of redemption (Martin Luther was a principal among them), and the so-called "Reformation" began. The preachers among this movement were often imprisoned and persecuted even unto death. You can read more on this in some papers on history.
By 1800 A.D., when printing evolved more and the Bible was circulated broadly, greater study allowed God to raise up a second revival --recovery of church truth. I will send you some papers on this, which will speak of the scriptural foundation God intended from the beginning.
This is just a brief response for your interest, but we can discuss it further later. Look up always!
The name, "Plymouth Brethren", is a misnomer concerning that revival of church truth in the early 1800's. Outsiders in England (not connected with the so-called "brethren movement" and recognizing the rapid growth of it) began referring to these saints of God as Plymouth Brethren because of a large gathering at Plymouth, England. The name seemed to be widely accepted in the world because the early brethren themselves refused to take a name, except what God has given us and what is common to all saints.
* Raven Brethren - a following of F.E. Raven.
* Some other saints also went out from the mainline over time to form their own fellowship, who were smaller gatherings; and, as stated already, many sub-divisions have formed out of all of the major divisions. One can see the papers on notable divisions within the brethren movement by this writer for more information.
Today, many believers within the so-called "brethren movement" like to hold names. The name: Plymouth Brethren (PB) is usually held by the open and quite loose line of the brethren ---much like the denominated sects. At one time all those not part of the Open movement were called Exclusive Brethren (EB) by the Opens, but in time EB became proudly owned by many of the followers after the man, Raven, who was put away for ungodly teachings about Christ.
We should note also that some who separated from the denominated sects and appreciated the "brethren" teachings, refer to themselves as "independent brethren". Having little understanding of the movement, they usually mix-in the denominational doctrines. As an example, The Watchman Nee Movement descended from the Raven-Taylor Brethren and began to add Pentecostalism later.
Some of us have avoided all such designations, and seek to maintain that work of revival as committed to the saints in 1827. It might properly be referred to as the main line from that early time; notwithstanding that we are sometimes called by the name of an assembly we are associated with. We can get associated with names by outsiders who do not recognize that God has in fact maintained that work He recovered in the early 1800's apart from sectarianism.
Every assembly has a history---we can know. We all must own our failure as members of the "one body" of Christ, but ever seek to go on faithfully in the path of God's good work and not be a part of sectarianism. As the saying goes: "We should not throw out the baby with the bath water".
What is the problem with a name or having a separate gathering? It is sectarian because it makes a limited company (sect) out of that which God established as a universal truth in the world (the "one body" of Christ). Faithful saints will not want to take any name that divides them, and which God has not called us. It is His church (assembly) and believers are His, so we ought to follow the Word of God and bow to His government, rather than go off to join or start a new gathering every time we are not pleased about something. Where would Israel have gone if they had left the pillar of fire and cloud that God established for the place of collective worship?
Since this subject of God's revival and testimony in the world from 1827, is a large subject with a number of things to consider, this writer will be pleased to correspond with any who desire to inquire and "earnestly contend for the faith" (Jude 3).
In the present day the saints are quite scattered. Major denominational sects are now amalgamating. The Christian "funda-mental" sects are overlooking differences and merging together. Some Christians shun any order and are seeking to have an experience as a "free-spirit". There remains, however, that testimony that God raised up in the early 1800's--expressing the "one body" worldwide in the scriptural order, gathering to the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ alone, and waiting upon the Holy Spirit. They recognize the ruin in the church is to our collective shame, and are not occupied with forbidding the unions and popular ways (Mark 9:38); rather, they continue in the path, desire the honor and glory of the Lord, and "all the counsel of God" (Acts 20:27). Though weak in numbers they are holding fast "Till He comes". Does the reader know about this? One should also read Miller's Church History, and Foxe's Book Of Martyrs (see the sources below).
Choices for the saints today are many, if one approves of sectarianism. They can find liberal church groups, conservative groups, political and social groups, all kinds of entertainment and religious ideas; or they can seek the scriptural path and recognize that God has maintained his testimony from that revival of the 1800's. Even within that good revival there are splinter groups following after men and certain doctrines. We are all failures in obeying and following our Lord, but we ought not to fault God and dishonor Him for our failure.
One might decide it is hopeless and just stay home and read their Bible, but God exhorts us to not forsake the assembling of ourselves together (Heb.10:25). He has a path in unity, though there is always failure among men.
If we cannot hold these things we will fall into Satan's snare, and always divide and scatter the saints and dishonor our Lord. God never intended that individual saints should act independent of the Church and His order and government there. There needs to be unity. Even among Israel, they had to learn to bow to God in the midst. If they had a difference with others and ignored the cloud above and the pillar of fire by night, they might go off into the wilderness and set up their own form of worship, but the cloud and the pillar would not follow them.
The writer would be pleased to answer questions about this and refer to other sources ---see Bible Truth Publishers, P.O. Box 649, Addison, IL 60101 ---web site: www.bibletruthpublishers.com. - RLD: CH03; 1980; add: 10/18.

Jerusalem Panorama key chain | Messianic, Inspirational key chains
The Holy City of Jerusalem
Jerusalem is a city located on a plateau in the Judean Mountains between the Mediterranean and the Dead Sea. One of the oldest cities in the world, Jerusalem was named as "Urusalima" on ancient Mesopotamian cuneiform tablets, probably meaning "City of Shalem" after a Canaanite deity, during the early Canaanite period (approximately 2400 BCE). During the Israelite period, significant construction activity in Jerusalem began in the 9th century BCE (Iron Age II), and in the 8th century the city developed into the religious and administrative center of the Kingdom of Judah. It is considered a holy city in the three major Abraham religions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam.

Mercedes-Benz is making it even easier for its customers to charge its upcoming line of electric vehicles here in Canada. The German brand has teamed up with Hydro Quebec's Electric Circuit charge network to integrate its Mercedes me charging ecosystem with 3,300 additional EV charging stations in Québec and Eastern Ontario.
Mercedes me is the brand's own charging ecosystem, first set up with ChargePoint to originally include almost 5,000 charge points across the country, including both public and semi-public. With a downloaded app, Mercedes drivers can simply find a 'participating' charge station, and the app acts as a 'window' to the various charge networks. Next year, Mercedes will implement 'Plug and Charge', where a Mercedes me driver can plug into a network charger and walk away; the car itself takes care of billing, and there's no need for downloading various apps for different networks.
The addition means Mercedes drivers now have access to more than 8,950 public charging ports in total across Canada, including more than 1,300 DC fast charging ports. There are also 2,400 semi-public ports on the ChargePoint network in areas such as workplaces, shopping malls and hotels available. ChargePoint is also responsible for the technical integration with Electric Circuit.
"We expect Québec to be a truly important market for the exceptional Mercedes-EQ product lineup, and our customers in Québec and around the country can be excited about the clean, digitally-integrated, fast and convenient charging experience they will be able to enjoy," says Eva Wiese, President and CEO, Mercedes-Benz Canada, in a statement.

Q: In BTVS, does Joyce ever find out about Tara and Willow? In Buffy the Vampire Slayer, season 5, episode 1, Buffy vs. Dracula Dracula gets into Buffy's house and bites her.
We learn that Joyce invited him in.
While Tara and Willow are performing a spell to keep Dracula out of Buffy's house:

JOYCE: I'm not like this. I don't invite strange men over for coffee, it's just ... Oh, when you girls are older you'll understand. (Sits on stairs) It's hard to date. Sometimes you just ... feel like giving up on men altogether.
Willow and Tara sneak little looks at each other and try not to grin.

At this point in the series, Joyce is not aware of Willow and Tara's relationship.
However, later in the season,

 Joyce dies

Does Joyce learn of Willow and Tara's true relationship before that event?

A: In Buffy: Dracula (Season 5 Episode 1) she seems clueless.

JOYCE: ...Sometimes you just ... feel like giving up on men
  altogether.
[Willow and Tara sneak little looks at each other and try not to grin.]

But in Buffy: Real Me (Season 5 Episode 2) she seems pretty knowing. Probably she was told between the episodes, or just plain worked it out for herself (note also the stage direction above. They aren't being especially clever about hiding their amusement at what she said, nor at hiding their obvious affection for each other).

Dawn [VO]: She and Willow are both witches. They do spells and stuff, which is so much cooler than slaying. I told mom one time I
  wish they'd teach me some of the things they do together. And-and then
  she got really quiet and made me go upstairs.

Pretty much every subsequent conversation she has after this (and for the next 7 episodes until her death) is about her health, interspersed with occasional chats with Spike. She doesn't interact with or talk about Willow and Tara from this point onward so it's difficult to tell what she does or doesn't know.

A: She does find out after Dawn is introduced. This is another difference between the world with Dawn, and without. Before Dawn came Joyce did not know, after the false memories came into play, she does know.
Joss or one of the writers actually comments on this in one of the special features

Brian Azzarello & Maria Llovet Explore Faith, Sex, & The Devil in FAITHLESS from BOOM! Studios
by First Comics News on January 15, 2019 Brian Azzarello & Maria Llovet Explore Faith, Sex, & The Devil in FAITHLESS from BOOM! Studios2019-01-15T02:20:24-08:00 - News
New York Times Bestselling Author Debuts First Series From BOOM! Studios in April 2019
LOS ANGELES, CA (January 14, 2018) – BOOM! Studios today announced FAITHLESS #1, from New York Times bestselling writer Brian Azzarello (Batman: Damned) and artist Maria Llovet (Loud), with Eisner Award-winning artist Paul Pope on covers in an unforgettable story of self-exploration, eroticism, and…maybe even love.
Arriving in stores April 10th, 2019, FAITHLESS introduces readers to Faith, a young woman who likes to dabble in the occult. Her friends think it's cute—and not just a little off-putting, but it's part of her charm and her warped search for purpose in a world that makes too much sense. But she's a true believer and knows there is a power within her reach. She's right, of course. It just took a while for the supernatural, the temptation, the unknowable thing to find her . . .
In short—Faith is bored as hell. And Hell has noticed.
FAITHLESS #1 features an erotic variant cover by superstar Tula Lotay (Supreme: Blue Rose), that will be polybagged and not publicly previewed due to sexually explicit material. Subsequent issues of FAITHLESS will continue this variant cover program with similar content and packaging.
Brian Azzarello is the Harvey and Eisner Award-winning co-creator (with artist Eduardo Risso) of 100 Bullets, along with Loveless and Moonshine. The New York Times bestselling author's work for DC Comics includes the titles Hellblazer, Superman, Joker, Luthor, Before Watchmen, Wonder Woman, & Dark Knight III with Frank Miller. Most recently he and artist Lee Bermejo launched DC's groundbreaking Mature Readers imprint Black Label with the controversial and critically acclaimed Batman: Damned.
"FAITHLESS is a black pearl born over a shared platter of oysters on a summer night in Los Angeles. It's amazing what those briny jewels can spark," said Azzarello. "Maria's work inspires me, and what Sierra (Hahn, Executive Editor) is pulling together I find exciting. I think what we're doing here, our total approach, is pretty unique in comics. The last thing I ever want to do is repeat myself. Well, these are beautiful, dark, uncharted waters."
Maria Llovet is a multidisciplinary artist from Barcelona, who has published four graphic novels, including There's Nothing There, Loud, and Heartbeat. Her illustration has been characterized by a great cinematographic influence in its visual narrative, with sex and death as central themes permeating her work.
"I'm thrilled to be part of this team and this project," said Llovet. "Brian created a cool bunch of characters who I loved instantly—it feels as if the script was made to measure because it touches many subjects and themes I've loved exploring in my career."
FAITHLESS is the newest release from BOOM! Studios' eponymous imprint, home to critically acclaimed original series, including Abbott from Saladin Ahmed and Sami Kivelä; Bury The Lede from Gaby Dunn and Claire Roe; Grass Kings from Matt Kindt and Tyler Jenkins; and Klaus from Grant Morrison and Dan Mora. The imprint also publishes popular licensed properties including Joss Whedon's Firefly from Greg Pak and Dan McDaid and Buffy The Vampire Slayer from Jordie Bellaire and Dan Mora.
"Collaborating with Brian and Maria on FAITHLESS has allowed us to create an honest, nuanced portrayal of female identity in a modern world. As we see Faith challenge the rules of society around her, we're hoping to challenge readers to reflect on the way they interact with their own personal realities…and to rediscover a bit of magic in the everyday, even when that comes with unintended perils," said Sierra Hahn, Executive Editor, BOOM! Studios. "Brian and Maria have crafted a resonant examination of what it means to be your true self in a world that asks us to assume false identities to better suit those around us instead of asking those same people to embrace our hidden depths."
