I cannot take full credit for this divine creation! I drew inspiration from Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen's "GiGi's Baked Spasagna" and Olive Garden's "Deep Dish Spaghetti Pie." They are both very delicious and I was craving both of their creations one day, but wanted to try making it at home and putting my own twist on it! Guys, I absolutely LOVE spaghetti squash! I think it is one the most unique vegetables because you can literally sub it in nearly every pasta dish! If you haven't tried spaghetti squash just what are you doing with your life?! Obviously, spaghetti squash is low-carb, but it's also rich in B vitamins, folate, potassium, calcium, etc. Consequently, I think it's safe to say spaghetti squash is definitely more nutritious than pasta!
I know y'all are wondering exactly how do you cook spaghetti squash to get perfect strands. All you have to do is lay your spaghetti squash on its side and cut it into rings, I'd say about 5-6 rings, depending on the size of your spaghetti squash. After you have cut your rings, grab a sheet pan and drizzle a little olive oil on the pan so the squash doesn't stick to it. Evenly space out your squash on the pan, then drizzle the tops with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. That's it! Place it in a 400° F oven and bake for 35 minutes. After the squash is finished baking, take a fork and start scraping from the inside of the ring until the strands separate.
While the squash is baking I made the Béchamel sauce. You're probably expecting me to say I used low-fat milk or cream here, but I didn't. I don't believe in low-fat items at all, because once they remove the fat they usually replace it with some additive to replace the flavor that they have removed. I've also learned so much about fats, what's considered healthy fats and what's not, so I know definitely to not run away from the healthy fats. Recently in the last few weeks, articles have been popping up about how the industry has lied to us for so many years about butter. It's not detrimental to us and the replacement that was created in the 60's for butter (margarine) does way more harm to our bodies than butter! The fat in dairy products is beneficial for the absorption of the vitamins and minerals. I'll make sure to do a blog post on this subject one day!
The cheeses that I decided to use in the Béchamel sauce are totally optional. I keep tons of cheese in my fridge, but I realize not everyone keeps a supply similar to mine. I might as well be a cheesemonger with the amount of cheese I keep in the fridge. So I have cheese for the low-low if you need anything! *wink* LOL And if you don't keep a vast variety of cheeses in your fridge it's okay, we can still be friends, but we can't eat at your house! LOL 😉 Anyway, you can just use one or two cheeses; I'd suggest sticking to white cheeses though to keep your sauce white. Here's a pro tip: turn off the burner when you add the cheese so the sauce won't break! You'll have velvety smooth sauce every time.
Now, for the fun part, we have to assemble everything! I mix the Béchamel sauce into the bowl of spaghetti squash "noodles" and fold in the chopped bacon. If you don't like bacon go ahead and leave it out, but I personally can't get enough of bacon so I added it in. *cheesy grin* LOL You can place the noodles in a greased 9×13 pan or you can do like I did and use a mini loaf baking pan for more uniformed servings. You'll know the baked spaghetti squash spasagna is ready once you see a bubbly, golden brown crust on top, in about 20 minutes.
We need to top these bad boys with some garlicky, flavorful spaghetti sauce! I'm not providing a recipe for spaghetti sauce because you can use jarred sauce (like I did) or you can make spaghetti sauce from scratch. Now, if you want to get this meal completed in a timely manner, I'd suggest just browning some Italian sausage and throwing in a jar of spaghetti sauce and calling it a day! The baked spaghetti squash spasagna already requires enough effort so save yourself a little time here.
To serve this to your guests, remove the baked spaghetti squash spasagna from the pan and transfer it to a plate and ladle the spaghetti sauce on top. Sprinkle chopped parsley on top and serve! Oh, don't forget to have some crusty bread or cheese toast on the side. That's it, y'all.

Preheat oven to 400° F. Lightly drizzle olive oil on a baking sheet, arrange spaghetti squash onto the baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil on top of the spaghetti squash rings, then sprinkle the salt and black pepper on top. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the spaghetti squash easily strings after being scraped with a fork.
Remove the spaghetti squash from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes. After the spaghetti squash has cooled, grab a fork and scrape the squash starting from the center until the noodles have separated from the rind. Transfer the noodles to a large mixing bowl.
In a large saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Slowly add in the milk while steadily whisking. You do not want any lumps to form. After the milk has been fully incorporated, allow the sauce to simmer for 10 minutes, until thickened. Occasionally whisk the sauce and season with a few grates of nutmeg, a pinch of white pepper, black pepper, and sea salt. Turn off the burner and whisk in the cheeses.
Reduce the oven's temperature to 375° F. Add the Béchamel sauce to the bowl with the spaghetti squash noodles and stir to combine. Fold in the chopped bacon. Grease a 9x13 pan or a mini loaf baking pan. Spoon the spaghetti squash noodles into the pan and place the baking pan in the oven. Bake for 15 minutes. Turn the oven up to Broil and broil for 5 minutes until a golden brown crust has formed on top. Let the baked spaghetti squash spasagna cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
To serve, slice the baked spaghetti squash spasagna or remove 1 loaf and place it on a plate. Ladle the prepared spaghetti sauce on top and sprinkle with a little parsley if desired.


During the Mom Blog Tour this past January at the Winter Fancy Food Show, I had the opportunity to spend a little time talking to Real California Milk. You may have seen their logo on many of your family's favorite dairy products, but do you know what that seal means?
When you see this logo from Real California Milk, it means you are buying the simple and real dairy foods made with milk from more than 1,300 California dairy families! It also means that it has been certified as having been made with 100% Real California Milk from Real California families!
Did you know that California is the country's leading producer of milk, ice cream, butter, nonfat dry milk and whey protein concentrate? It's also the second largest producer or cheese and yogurt.
Last week, we had some really lovely spring weather and it really got me in the mood for one of my favorite desserts: Cheesecake with Blueberries. I thought it would be a great to lighten up my cheesecake recipe by using yogurt from Real California Dairy farms.
You would be surprised at difference in taste and texture that the yogurt adds to a cheesecake. Making your own graham cracker crust is so easy too! You'd be shocked to know that even the novice baker can do it!
Delicious Cheesecake recipe made with yogurt and cream cheese, topped with a lemon blueberry compote.
16 oz of cream cheese at room temp.
In a food processor, pulse graham crackers to a fine flour.
In a large bowl, add graham cracker crumbs, butter, sugar and salt.
Add the mixture to a springform pan. Press the crust into the bottom of the pan and up the sides.
Use the bottom of a measuring cup to pack the crust down.
Put the crust into the freezer.
In the food processor, combine yogurt, cream cheese, eggs, flour, sugar, vanilla and zest.
Combine until the mixture is creamy and mixed together.
Take the crust out of the freezer and pour your batter into the crust, smoothing any bubbles and making sure it is even.
Bake 45 minutes or until the cheesecake is set and slightly golden on top.
Shut off the oven and let the cheesecake sit in the oven for an additional 20-25 minutes as the oven cools down, this will help the top from cracking.
Cool on a wire cooling rack and then refrigerate until the cheesecake is completely cooled.
To make the blueberry sauce, mix together orange juice, sugar and flour in a medium saucepan.
When the mixture thickens, add blueberries.
Simmer on low for about 5 minutes, until most of the berries have burst.
Serve over slices of the cheesecake.
We ended up having way more blueberry compote than we thought, so it was perfect to add into the plain yogurt for a healthy snack.

I went to my favorite little camera shop in the area, which is inside the flea market, to look for a Rollei 35 SE. I got it in my head that I needed to purchase a small and old and finicky 35mm camera.
The camera shop is more of a double booth inside one of the permanent buildings at the flea market, across from the guy who sells musical instruments and one aisle over from a guy selling guns, and once there, I discovered the owner, Clem, with whom I've had many conversations about old cameras and why we shoot film, had passed away last year. He always asked me "why would you want to buy this?" And then sell me whatever it was that had caught my eye that visit. A beautiful Bronica with a handle contraption and an extra lens. A Rolleiflex. A lens or two. He always threw some random stuff in the bag. A filter. A battery.
We'd sized each other up correctly and steadfastly avoided veering into politics so we could maintain the customer-seller relationship. His daughters took over his business, and an old friend of his mans the counter during the weekends when the market is open, for which I am grateful.
I also discovered that they did not have a Rollei 35 SE in stock (though they did have a 35, but it was pretty beat up and not what I'm looking for).
And then I saw this, gleaming brightly on the bottom shelf of the display cabinet. Basically as opposite the Rollei SE I can get without going digital.
It's not the mju-ii, it's the older one with the 35mm 3.5 lens. But if I am a sucker for anything, it's shiny objects. This is a limited edition (they made 50,000, 10,000 of which were for the States. This is number 01616). It's never been used. It's got this shiny silver-black finish that doesn't come out well in a cell phone snap. The original strap and case have never been out of the box before.
I offered $100, he gave it to me for $125 and threw in a roll of film and a battery, and I'm going to have a little fun. For Clem. Because I'm pretty sure he'd try talking me out of buying it and then would sell it to me anyway.


15) If your brother wrongs you, go and show him his fault, between you and him privately. If he listens to you, you have won back your brother.
16) But if he does not listen, take along with you one or two others, so that every word may be confirmed and upheld by the testimony of two or three witnesses.
17) If he pays no attention to them [refusing to listen and obey], tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a pagan and a tax collector.
I have been thinking about this since yesterday's post. I have read this passage in most translations. The amplified seems to be one of the most impartial.
I am interested in hearing your thoughts and experiences regarding this passage. I will withhold my own thoughts until tomorrow because I don't want you feeling like you have to agree with me.
Having served in cross-cultural missions for several years, I have to say that I read this Scripture as a principle based idea. By that I mean that the underlying principles are universal, but the application in specifics are not.
For example, having lived several years in Vancouver, where I was somewhat of a minority amoung a beautifully diverse population (largely Asian), I learned alot about "saving face". Respectful and effective confrontation in this culture paradigm (and note that I am generalizing here) does not always look like Matthew 18. (A great book on this topic is "Cross-Cultural Conflict" by Duane Elmer).
Now, I also know many Asian believers who reject this idea, while others practice a contextualized application of Matthew 18. In my own experience, even with those who reject the contextualized approach, it still works better.
Not sure if this is what you were looking for (as I suspect your focus is on vs. 17), but there you go!
Very interesting point. It seems I remember reading something you had written about this. If a technical application of this passage violates cultural values, it would certainly go against the intent and principle of the passage.
Someone just "scripturized" me with this verse a couple of weeks ago in a middle-school girls crisis. Argh, it is extremely annoying to me when someone uses the Word of God like a prosecuting attorney.
Mr Barclay, but many times he has cast light and insight on a verse that has been very beneficial.
He makes a couple of interesting observations about Matt's passage here. Barclay wonders, first of all, how accurate it is - this, from a conservative Bible commentator. He points out that it is premature for Christ to speak of the Church for it had not been born yet. Also, whole scheme of protocol is church-government and policy, something that was not in existence.
Barclay also points out that Jesus never spoke disparagingly of tax-collectors or pagans. He always had sympathy for them and in fact, they were his friends. His comment here could actually be viewed more as an admonition to love and forgive the sinning brother as Jesus would have us also love the tax-gatherer and pagan, love those who live on the outside as if they didn't live on the outside. What would happen if someone in relational conflict or offense was treated with unconditional forgiveness and love? (this obviously bars dangereous and deviant behavior).
Barclay sums it up by reminding us that reading this passage "as is" suggests that there is a limit to forgiveness. This is not the way of Christ, it would be contrary to him. The Jesus we have observed in the gospels does not put people out. Reconciliation is the goal.
Barclay writes that Matthew has recorded something that Jesus said, though he thinks it is a distorted quote.
For me, this passage seems to be used as a weapon, like it was against me a couple of weeks ago. I never want to use the bible as a power to intimidate others or shame them. The kingdom of God is not like this. Jesus is not like this.
In anticipation of those who would remind us that God is a God of justice and judgment and he will put people out...well, let him do it in his limitless wisdom and understanding of all human matters, it's not for me to do.
If someone has said to you that you must be "disfellowshipped" and treated as an outside than they have missed the point of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He welcomes in, not puts out, and that is how we are to treat tax-gatherers and pagans, with love and respect.
I just read your post "Clanging Cymbals." You and I are definitely tracking together, Grace.
Brett wondered about love and truth, isn't it love to tell the truth? Yes, it is, and the truth is, God's steadfast love never ceases, his mercy never comes to an end, they are new every morning. The truth is that Grace and Mercy overcome judgment, I think James and that lovely prophet-dude Habakkuk wrote about that.
Matthew 18 is not a loophole to treat people like sh*t.
I see this illustration as being first and formost one person doing something to another person in the "community". It shows the process to address the grievance privately first so as not to call attention to the person's sin against me thus not allowing for gossip to start. Verse 16 brings a stronger testimony against the sin (and hopefully more truth spoken in love and prayer). Again guarding against gossip since the two or three others would likely already know of the situation. verse 17 is a last resort. In that verse, who is the church? I think it has been used in the context of tell the Pastor or church council and then they will excommunicate the person. I don't think that is necessarily what is meant. "Pagans and tax collectors" perhaps need more teaching about what is sin, how sin harms the fellowship of believers, how the evil one uses sin to extend the kingdom of darkness etc. It may mean that someone teaching wrongly may need to step down from teaching but not necessarily be expelled from the fellowship. Perhaps it means the person is excluded from particiption in Holy Communion until repentance is done. It depends so much on the nature of the offense and the person's attitude toward reconciliation.
No time presently to expand or explain what I mean in more detail but that's life...lunch is over....see ya soon.
I think the Bible is telling us to give someone the benefit of the doubt. This should all be done with an attitude of humility and love, not arrogance. Also, I believe this process should only be entered into due to a legitimate, continued offense such as stealing money from the church. This is not just about a simple difference of opinion.
When I'm honest with someone about how their behavior is affecting others negatively, out of respect for their dignity, I am to approach them privately. Then, if the damaging behavior continues, I should take another trusted friend with me and approach the person again. (The point being to treat them with dignity.) Now, if this person is completely unreasonable, then as a last resort I go to the church.
I'm not a very confrontational person, so the whole process of church discipline is quite uncomfortable- I am of the opinion that I should remove the sliver from my own eye before trying to remove the speck from my brothers.
However, people never seem to hesitate before taking something immediately before the church these days. This happened to me just a few months back. I was devastated. It showed they felt I was too unreasonable to be spoken to privately. Ouch!
Yes, I heard someone say one time..."so how then did Jesus treat pagan's and tax collectors?
I've always thought the key phrase in this passage was "won back your brother".
This passage gets used as a club for people we disagree with, but I would like to suggest that we should view it more like somebody who is desperate to "win back" someone who is falling away from the faith.
Context of this passage is also St. Peter's "how many times must I forgive" question (70 X 7, say Jesus), followed by the parable of the unmerciful servant. The point of that parable being that we are to forgive, period. After the incredible forgiveness that God has shown us, we are out of line when we refuse to forgive. The emphasis of Matthew 18 is on restoration, not excommunication.

Kemin stays home, goes big
Five years and more than $30 million in the making, global food, feed, and nutraceutical ingredient innovator Kemin Industries threw open the doors of its new, 94,000 square foot worldwide company headquarters in Des Moines, Iowa. The structure will serve as the lynchpin completing the company's a five-year, $125.5 million overall investment in Kemin Des Moines facilities
More than 600 community leaders, employees, and other attendees were on hand for the official grand-opening ceremony on August 29. They were treated to a tour the new facility southeast of the city center, in advance of the scheduled January, 2018, move from its previous headquarters nearby. The new site will house the company's 500-plus employees—one quarter of its total global workforce, serving customers in 120 countries.

I was at the docs today and was diagnosed with some new bacterial strain sinus infection and was given antibiotics and some sort of purple cough syrup. I had a question regarding the syrup..as I took my dosage and I feel a bit *loopy* after it. Can this stuff be taken while working? I work behind a computer and don't operate any heavy machinery. She said it is for the cough I have. The bottle says its 10mg codeine and 6.25 promethazine.
codeine will make you "loopy" be careful operating machinery while you are taking it; your prescription pamphlet should state this.
Yup, wouldn't be working while on that medicine. That happened to me one time, I was counting money after taking the medicine. Suddenly I couldn't add. I had to call DH to come and pick me up from work!
Keep taking the antibiotics as recommended but save the cough medicine for bedtime.
Yeah I noticed it has this small sticker with some precautions. I did stop that darn couching though.
I've taken cough syrup with codeine before and it gave me nightmares. Never again!
Just be careful with that stuff. Hope it does do to you what it did to me.

Some of our favorite dinners are spent at home as a family. Fondu night is one of those that we always say we should do more often. It's quick, cheap, and easy. We can pick up a packet of fondu cheese for $8 at our commissary, and then all we need are the dipping accompaniments. Some of our favorites are: fresh bread, green beans, broccoli, carrots, mushrooms, asparagus, shrimp, and filet mignon.
EJ likes any meal that involves dipping so she loves when she sees the fondu pot and skewers being brought out. She is very adept at stabbing, dipping and eating.

Carys Zeta Douglas – Bio, Age, Family, All About Michael Douglas' Daughter
By Chizitere
It is very common to hear in Hollywood that the kids of a famous entertainer have lost their way due to lack of parental guidance and the fame and fortune in which they found themselves in. This is however not the case for Carys Zeta Douglas, the daughter of actor Michael Douglas and actress Catherine Zeta-Jones, who have made sure that she does not tow this life part by instilling manners and reality-checking her. This is evident in the fact that unlike others in her shoes, Carys possess a sense of restraint that has left the world wondering things about her.
Carys Zeta Douglas Bio (Age)
Carys Zeta Douglas was welcomed into the world by her parents; Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas, on the 20th of April, 2003 at The Valley Hospital in Ridgewood, New Jersey. According to reports, the baby girl weighed 6 lb. and 12 oz. at the time of her birth. She is of mixed American, Bermudian, Welsh, and English descent.
Due to the fact that her parents wanted her away from the madness of Hollywood and the prying eyes of the media, Carys' early years were spent in the sunny island of Bermuda where her parents own a lavish home. At a later age, the family moved to Manhattan, New York where the young girl got to experience the craziness of being a celebrity daughter and everybody wanting to know every single thing about you.
While it is not clear where exactly Carys Zeta Douglas receives her education, it is known that she is not homeschooled as many people have thought. Following in the footsteps of her parents, the young girl has participated in various acting projects in school, such as her school's production of the rock musical 'Spring Awakening' and in the one-act play, 'Once on This Island'.
It is not clear what will happen next for the Hollywood heiress who will have to decide whether to follow her parents' footsteps in becoming an actor or rather moving towards creating a legacy of her own. She is said to have a dream of receiving an ivy league education and possibly having a career in medicine. Before that, however, the young girl has also shown signs of being interested in the fashion and modeling world.
In September 2017, Carys Zeta Douglas made her modeling debut by walking the runway at Michael Kors during New York Fashion Week. She is further said to have also worked for popular luxury brands like Versace and Chanel.
Carys Zeta's Family

Carys Zeta Douglas is the third generation in a family of show business royalty. Her paternal grandparents are Kirk and Diana Douglas who were both actors in the film industry's Golden Age. Kirk and Diana's first son, Michael Douglas, who is Carys' father, followed in the footsteps of his parents to also have a career in Hollywood.
In 1977, Michael Douglas married his first wife, Diandra Luker, and the two welcomed a son named Cameron, Carys' older half brother, in the following year. Following the failure of the marriage, Micheal married actress Catherine Zeta-Jones in November 2000 and the two went on to have two children; a son named Dylan in 2000 and Carys in 2003.
While Dylan has made a number of appearances as an actor, most notably in Phineas and Ferb (2007), not much is known about him other than the fact that he is currently enrolled at Brown University. Cameron, on the other hand, is an established actor having appeared in movies like Jackie Chan's Mr. Nice Guy (1997), It Runs in the Family (2003), and National Lampoon's Adam & Eve (2005).

Facts About Michael Douglas' Daughter
1. Due to the fact that Carys Zeta Douglas' parents chose to live in Bermuda in her early years, she had no idea of her father's stardom as she thought he was a pancake maker.
2. While growing up, Carys was bullied in school due to the fact that her father is 25 years older than her mother. As the story goes, whenever Michael came to pick her up from school, she was told by other students that her grandfather is here.
3. Cary's half brother, Cameron, was released from prison in August 2016 and transferred to a halfway house after having spent seven years behind bars for drug-related offenses.

Former i3 Group C...
Former i3 Group CEO returns with ambitious broadband plan
A new venture has been announced by former CEO of the i3 Group and subsidiary H2O Networks, Elfed Thomas. Fibre network infrastructure organisation, British Fibre Networks has been created to provide an alternative network with its aim to connect pure fibre to more than 35 per cent of new homes by 2021.
With a Manchester base and a new website (www.britishfibrenetworks.co.uk) British Fibre Networks is set to work with house builder and developer partners to install a 'pure fibre aggregator portal' in new build homes that can connect with a greater choice of fibre networks. This is turn, says the business, will allow homeowners access to a wider market of broadband providers. The organisation says it is also in discussions with a leading price comparison site, in order to 'provide a unique platform to manage and offer the choice of ISP to customers'.
British Fibre Networks believes the combination of speed, capacity and choice will make it a compelling alternative for house builders and homeowners, to the established services available, many of which, believes the company, are largely comprised of copper connections.
As founder and CEO of i3 Group, Thomas brings with him experience in the implementation of fibre-optic networks, which includes the use of sewer networks to house cables. The group's subsidiary, H2O Networks, however, became one of 10 companies involved in a financing scam that saw four men sentenced to a total of 44 years in jail. The investigation began in October 2010, with the subsequent crown court case starting in September 2016, and final sentencing handed down in February 2017. Thomas was found not guilty and exonerated from all charges.
Speaking about his new venture, Thomas commented: 'Clearly there are a number of well-financed ISP entrants into the market. We ensure new homes have the fibre infrastructure which can connect with this growing choice of fibre networks. Choice and capacity to the customer is vital for a competitive platform. For too long, new homeowners and builders have been subject to a monopolistic offer, which is overpriced and never installed in time for when the customer moves in.
'British Fibre Networks aims to address this and create a model that breaks up the monopoly of BT. Working with developers, we will deliver superior connectivity and choice to new homeowners, many of whom have previously been quoted extortionate prices for access to a patchwork copper/fibre network. It will add value for house builders, who can now offer a home with pure fibre connectivity and choice.'

Yoma 85a
The William Davidson Talmud
וּשְׁמוּאֵל אָמַר לְפַקֵּחַ עָלָיו אֶת הַגַּל. כִּי אִיתְּמַר דִּשְׁמוּאֵל — אַרֵישָׁא אִיתְּמַר: אִם רוֹב גּוֹיִם — גּוֹי, אָמַר שְׁמוּאֵל: וּלְעִנְיַן פִּקּוּחַ נֶפֶשׁ אֵינוֹ כֵּן. And Shmuel said: This halakha of the status of a found child is with regard to removing debris from on top of him, implying that if there is a majority of gentiles in the city where he is found, one does not violate Shabbat by removing the debris from the child to save his life. This implies that one does follow the majority in the case of saving a life. The Gemara answers: When this statement of Shmuel was stated, it was stated with regard to the first halakha. Shmuel's intent was to be lenient, and his statement should be understood as follows: If the majority are gentiles, he is a gentile. Shmuel said: But with regard to the matter of saving a life it is not so. Rather, one saves him based on the uncertainty.
אִם רוֹב גּוֹיִם — גּוֹי, לְמַאי הִילְכְתָא? אָמַר רַב פָּפָּא: לְהַאֲכִילוֹ נְבֵלוֹת. אִם רוֹב יִשְׂרָאֵל — יִשְׂרָאֵל, לְמַאי הִילְכְתָא? לְהַחְזִיר לוֹ אֲבֵידָתוֹ. § It was taught that if there is a majority of gentiles in the city, a foundling is considered to have the status of a gentile. The Gemara asks: To what halakha does this statement relate? Rav Pappa said: It relates to feeding him non-kosher food. One need not protect the child from every prohibition and may even feed him non-kosher food, as though he were a gentile. It was further taught: If there is a majority of Jews, he is a Jew. The Gemara asks: To what halakha does this relate? The Gemara answers: It relates to returning a lost object to him. In such a case it is assumed that he is definitely a Jew. Consequently, Jews must return lost objects to him, whereas there is no obligation to return lost objects to gentiles.
מֶחֱצָה עַל מֶחֱצָה — יִשְׂרָאֵל, לְמַאי הִילְכְתָא? אָמַר רֵישׁ לָקִישׁ: לִנְזָקִין. הֵיכִי דָּמֵי? אִי נֵימָא דְּנַגְחֵיהּ תּוֹרָא דִּידַן לְתוֹרָא דִּידֵיהּ — נַיְיתֵי רְאָיָה וְנִשְׁקוֹל! It was further stated: If the city is half gentile and half Jewish, the foundling has the status of a Jew. The Gemara asks: To what halakha does this relate? Reish Lakish said: It is referring to halakhot of damages. The Gemara asks: What are the circumstances? If we say that our ox, i.e., an ox belonging to another Jew, gored his ox, one could ask: How can he make a claim like a Jew? Let him bring proof that he is Jewish, and only then may he take the money for damages, since the burden of proof rests upon the claimant. Since he cannot prove his Jewish status, he has no claim.
לָא צְרִיכָא, דְּנַגְחֵיהּ תּוֹרָא דִּידֵיהּ לְתוֹרָא דִּידַן, פַּלְגָא — יָהֵיב לֵיהּ, אִידַּךְ פַּלְגָא — נֵימָא לֵיהּ: אַיְיתִי רְאָיָה דְּלָאו יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲנָא וּשְׁקוֹל. The Gemara answers: No, it is necessary when his innocuous ox, which has gored fewer than three times, gored our ox, i.e., an ox belonging to a Jew, in which case he gives him half, which is what a Jew pays for damages caused by an innocuous ox. However, a gentile must make full restitution for the damage caused. The foundling does not pay the other half, which a gentile gives to a Jew if his ox harms a Jew's ox. Let me say to the one who suffered the damage: Bring proof that I am not a Jew and take the money. In that case, the burden of proof rests upon the one who suffered the damage.
מִי שֶׁנָּפְלָה עָלָיו מַפּוֹלֶת וְכוּ׳. מַאי קָאָמַר? § It was taught in the mishna: With regard to one upon whom a rockslide fell, and there is uncertainty whether he is there under the debris or whether he is not there; and there is uncertainty whether he is still alive or whether he is dead; and there is uncertainty whether the person under the debris is a gentile or whether he is Jew, one clears the pile from atop him. The Gemara asks: What is the mishna saying? Why does it bring three different uncertainties to illustrate the principle that one violates Shabbat to save a life even in a case of uncertainty?
לָא מִיבַּעְיָא קָאָמַר: לָא מִיבַּעְיָא סָפֵק הוּא שָׁם סָפֵק אֵינוֹ שָׁם, דְּאִי אִיתֵיהּ חַי — הוּא דִּמְפַקְּחִין, אֶלָּא אֲפִילּוּ סָפֵק חַי סָפֵק מֵת — מְפַקְּחִין. וְלָא מִיבַּעְיָא סָפֵק חַי סָפֵק מֵת, דְּיִשְׂרָאֵל, אֶלָּא אֲפִילּוּ סָפֵק גּוֹי סָפֵק יִשְׂרָאֵל — מְפַקְּחִין. The Gemara explains: It is speaking using the style of: Needless to say, and the mishna should be understood as follows: Needless to say, in a case where it is uncertain whether he is there or not there, one removes the debris, since if he is there and he is alive, one must clear the debris. But even if it is uncertain whether he is alive or dead, one must clear the debris. And needless to say, when there is uncertainty whether he is alive or dead, but it is certain that he is a Jew, one must clear the debris. Rather, one must clear the debris even if there is uncertainty whether he is a gentile or a Jew.
מְצָאוּהוּ חַי — מְפַקְּחִין. מְצָאוּהוּ חַי, פְּשִׁיטָא! לָא צְרִיכָא, דַּאֲפִילּוּ לְחַיֵּי שָׁעָה. § The mishna taught: If they found him alive, they continue to remove the debris. The Gemara is surprised at this: If they find him alive, it is obvious that they remove the debris, since that is saving a life. The Gemara answers: No, it is necessary to teach that one must desecrate Shabbat for his sake even if it is clear that he will live only a short while and will die soon after.
וְאִם מֵת יַנִּיחוּהוּ. הָא נָמֵי פְּשִׁיטָא? לָא צְרִיכָא, לְרַבִּי יְהוּדָה בֶּן לָקִישׁ. דְּתַנְיָא: אֵין מַצִּילִין אֶת הַמֵּת מִפְּנֵי הַדְּלֵיקָה, אָמַר רַבִּי יְהוּדָה בֶּן לָקִישׁ: שָׁמַעְתִּי שֶׁמַּצִּילִין אֶת הַמֵּת מִפְּנֵי הַדְּלֵיקָה. וַאֲפִילּוּ רַבִּי יְהוּדָה בֶּן לָקִישׁ לָא קָאָמַר אֶלָּא מִתּוֹךְ שֶׁאָדָם בָּהוּל עַל מֵתוֹ, אִי לָא שָׁרֵית לֵיהּ — אָתֵי לְכַבּוֹיֵי. אֲבָל הָכָא, אִי לָא שָׁרֵית לֵיהּ — מַאי אִית לֵיהּ לְמֶעְבַּד? § The mishna taught: If they found him dead, they should leave him. The Gemara is surprised at this: Isn't this also obvious? What allowance might there be to desecrate Shabbat for the sake of a corpse? The Gemara answers: No, this ruling is necessary according to the opinion of Rabbi Yehuda ben Lakish, as it was taught in a baraita: One may not save a corpse from a fire, since one may not violate Shabbat for the sake of the dead. Rabbi Yehuda ben Lakish said: I heard that one may save a corpse from a fire. The Gemara challenges: Even Rabbi Yehuda ben Lakish said this only with regard to a fire because a person is agitated over his dead relative, whose body might burn in the fire. If you do not permit him to remove the corpse he may come to extinguish the fire and transgress a severe Torah prohibition. However, here, in the case of a rockslide or building collapse, if you do not permit him to remove the debris, what might he do? In this case, there is no concern of Shabbat desecration, and preserving the dignity of the dead does not override Shabbat.
תָּנוּ רַבָּנַן: עַד הֵיכָן הוּא בּוֹדֵק? עַד חוֹטְמוֹ. וְיֵשׁ אוֹמְרִים: עַד לִבּוֹ. בָּדַק וּמָצָא עֶלְיוֹנִים מֵתִים, לֹא יֹאמַר: כְּבָר מֵתוּ הַתַּחְתּוֹנִים. מַעֲשֶׂה הָיָה וּמָצְאוּ עֶלְיוֹנִים מֵתִים וְתַחְתּוֹנִים חַיִּים. The Rabbis taught: If a person is buried under a collapsed building, until what point does one check to clarify whether the victim is still alive? Until what point is he allowed to continue clearing the debris? They said: One clears until the victim's nose. If there is no sign of life, i.e., if he is not breathing, he is certainly dead. And some say: One clears until the victim's heart to check for a heartbeat. If several people are buried and one checked and found the upper ones under the debris dead, he should not say: The lower ones are likely also already dead, and there is no point in continuing to search. There was an incident where they found the upper ones dead and the lower ones alive.
נֵימָא הָנֵי תַּנָּאֵי כִּי הָנֵי תַּנָּאֵי. דְּתַנְיָא: מֵהֵיכָן הַוָּלָד נוֹצָר — מֵרֹאשׁוֹ, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר: ״מִמְּעֵי אִמִּי אַתָּה גוֹזִי״, וְאוֹמֵר: ״גׇּזִּי נִזְרֵךְ וְהַשְׁלִיכִי״. אַבָּא שָׁאוּל אוֹמֵר: מִטִּיבּוּרוֹ, וּמְשַׁלֵּחַ שׇׁרָשָׁיו אֵילָךְ וְאֵילָךְ. The Gemara comments: Let us say that the dispute between these tanna'im who disagree about checking for signs of life is like the dispute between these tanna'im who disagree about the formation of the fetus. As it was taught in a baraita: From what point is the fetus created? It is from its head, as it is stated: "You are He Who took me [gozi] out of my mother's womb" (Psalms 71:6), and it says: "Cut off [gozi] your hair, and cast it away" (Jeremiah 7:29). These verses suggest that one is created from the head, the place of the hair. Abba Shaul says: A person is created from his navel, and he sends his roots in every direction until he attains the image of a person. The tanna who says that the presence of life is determined based on the nose holds in accordance with the opinion of the tanna who maintains that the formation of a fetus begins with its head. Likewise, the tanna who says the presence of life is determined based on the heart holds in accordance with the opinion of the one who thinks the formation of a fetus begins with its navel.
אֲפִילּוּ תֵּימָא אַבָּא שָׁאוּל, עַד כָּאן לָא קָא אָמַר אַבָּא שָׁאוּל הָתָם אֶלָּא לְעִנְיַן יְצִירָה, דְּכֹל מִידֵּי מִמְּצִיעֲתֵיהּ מִיתְּצַר, אֲבָל לְעִנְיַן פִּקּוּחַ נֶפֶשׁ — אֲפִילּוּ אַבָּא שָׁאוּל מוֹדֵי דְּעִיקַּר חַיּוּתָא בְּאַפֵּיהּ הוּא, דִּכְתִיב: ״כׇּל אֲשֶׁר נִשְׁמַת רוּחַ חַיִּים בְּאַפָּיו״. The Gemara rejects this: Even if you say that the formation of a fetus from the navel is the opinion of Abba Shaul, he may nevertheless require one to check the nose for signs of life. Until now, Abba Shaul spoke there only about formation, saying that everything is created from its middle; however, as for saving a life, even Abba Shaul admits that the main sign of life is in the nose, as it is written: "All in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life" (Genesis 7:22).
אָמַר רַב פָּפָּא: מַחְלוֹקֶת מִמַּטָּה לְמַעְלָה, אֲבָל מִמַּעְלָה לְמַטָּה, כֵּיוָן דִּבְדַק לֵיהּ עַד חוֹטְמוֹ — שׁוּב אֵינוֹ צָרִיךְ, דִּכְתִיב: ״כֹּל אֲשֶׁר נִשְׁמַת רוּחַ חַיִּים בְּאַפָּיו״. Rav Pappa said: The dispute with regard to how far to check for signs of life applies when the digger begins removing the rubble from below, starting with the feet, to above. In such a case it is insufficient to check until his heart; rather, one must continue removing rubble until he is able to check his nose for breath. But if one cleared the rubble from above to below, once he checked as far as the victim's nose he is not required to check further, as it is written: "All in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life" (Genesis 7:22).
וּכְבָר הָיָה רַבִּי יִשְׁמָעֵאל וְרַבִּי עֲקִיבָא וְרַבִּי אֶלְעָזָר בֶּן עֲזַרְיָה מְהַלְּכִין בַּדֶּרֶךְ, וְלֵוִי הַסַּדָּר וְרַבִּי יִשְׁמָעֵאל בְּנוֹ שֶׁל רַבִּי אֶלְעָזָר בֶּן עֲזַרְיָה מְהַלְּכִין אַחֲרֵיהֶן. נִשְׁאֲלָה שְׁאֵלָה זוֹ בִּפְנֵיהֶם: מִנַּיִין לְפִקּוּחַ נֶפֶשׁ שֶׁדּוֹחֶה אֶת הַשַּׁבָּת? § The Gemara relates: It once happened that Rabbi Yishmael, and Rabbi Akiva, and Rabbi Elazar ben Azarya were walking on the road, and Levi HaSadar and Rabbi Yishmael, son of Rabbi Elazar ben Azarya, were walking respectfully behind them, since they were younger and did not walk alongside their teachers. This question was asked before them: From where is it derived that saving a life overrides Shabbat?
נַעֲנָה רַבִּי יִשְׁמָעֵאל וְאָמַר: ״אִם בַּמַּחְתֶּרֶת יִמָּצֵא הַגַּנָּב״ — וּמָה זֶה, שֶׁסָּפֵק עַל מָמוֹן בָּא סָפֵק עַל נְפָשׁוֹת בָּא, וּשְׁפִיכוּת דָּמִים מְטַמֵּא אֶת הָאָרֶץ, וְגוֹרֵם לַשְּׁכִינָה שֶׁתִּסְתַּלֵּק מִיִּשְׂרָאֵל, נִיתָּן לְהַצִּילוֹ בְּנַפְשׁוֹ — קַל וָחוֹמֶר לְפִקּוּחַ נֶפֶשׁ שֶׁדּוֹחֶה אֶת הַשַּׁבָּת. Rabbi Yishmael answered and said that it is stated: "If a thief be found breaking in and be struck so that he dies, there shall be no blood-guiltiness for him" (Exodus 22:1). Now, if this is true for the thief, where there is uncertainty whether he comes to take money or to take lives, and it is known that bloodshed renders the land impure, since it is stated about a murderer: "And you shall not defile the land" (Numbers 35:34), and it causes the Divine Presence to depart from the Jewish people, as the verse continues: "In the midst of which I dwell, for I the Lord dwell in the midst of the children of Israel" (Numbers 35:34), and even so the home owner is permitted to save himself at the cost of the thief's life, then a fortiori saving a life overrides Shabbat.
נַעֲנָה רַבִּי עֲקִיבָא וְאָמַר: ״וְכִי יָזִיד אִישׁ עַל רֵעֵהוּ וְגוֹ׳ מֵעִם מִזְבְּחִי תִּקָּחֶנּוּ לָמוּת״. ״מֵעִם מִזְבְּחִי״ — וְלֹא מֵעַל מִזְבְּחִי. וְאָמַר רַבָּה בַּר בַּר חָנָה אָמַר רַבִּי יוֹחָנָן: לֹא שָׁנוּ אֶלָּא לְהָמִית, Rabbi Akiva answered and said that it is stated: "And if a man comes purposefully upon his neighbor to slay him with guile, you shall take him from My altar, that he may die" (Exodus 21:14). The phrase "take him from My altar" implies that if the murderer is a priest and comes to perform the service, one does not wait for him to do so but takes him to his execution immediately. But one should not take him from on top of My altar. If he already began the service and is in the midst of it, one does not take him down from the altar immediately but instead allows him to finish his service. And Rabba bar bar Ḥana said that Rabbi Yoḥanan said: They taught only that a priest is not removed from the altar in order to execute him for murder,


In 1988 one of the Cape's most foremost wine makers, Beyers Truter of Kanonkop Estate, formed a partnership with four ardent wine lovers in Johannesburg with one ideal in mind: to produce a wine of exceptional character.
After exploring the Cape Winelands for a suitable location they found a perfectly situated farm in the Koelenhof area within the Stellenbosch Wine of Origin region. Coincidence provided an appropriate name. The farm's original name was Nooitgedacht, which for five generations belonged to the Beyers family before Jan Andries Beyers sold it in 1895. Beyers Truter is a direct descendent of Jan Beyers, thus making him the sixth generation to farm this land.


Home/Newsletter/Monday Love to your Elevating Atmospheres plus Parashakti invites you to Answer Your Soul's Call!
"You never know what will happen. There is a thing called zeitgeist. You have to hit it."
Have you ever thought about the Zeitgeist of an era? Are there any moments in your past that evoke strong feelings? What makes a particular atmosphere so unique?
Memory and contemplating the future are two sides of the same coin with much in common. When we think back on a specific moment or happening there are any number of factors that contribute to our experience. When we look to the future and forecast or plan, it's like a looking glass version where we have entirely different material to work with.
In the former case of looking back, we have heaps of solid information to work with. And while two different people might have wildly divergent memories of the same set of circumstances, they each have a set of facts and concrete recollections to inform their view. The feelings become set in stone as well, a summer's picnic might bring always evoke a pleasant glow while an harsh word or incident of violence may embed long-lasting trauma.
"Proper planning" vs "going with the flow" are like the two sides of a tightrope walkers balance beam. It makes sense to develop the skills, habits, and methods of the former while maintaining the forgiving resilience of the latter. It's wise to begin with the end in mind and adhere to a plan, yet life's road has unseen turns and every game has a curve ball or two. Consciousness and confidence play a big part in setting your intention so that you get to where you want to go.
It's much the same with cultivating an atmosphere. When you're part of putting together some sort of future event, be it a child's birthday party or a tropical retreat, you work to carefully assemble the elements in advance in hopes of creating a positive and memorable or transformational result. Looking forward you can make sure all of the pieces and players are in place, yet any number of factors can either appear out of the blue to make it better than you could have ever expected, or go sideways causing you to careen into damage control.
Every atmosphere is the sum total of both planned and random elements and for that reason are very much part and parcel to the mood of the moment. It's one of the reasons physical artifacts such as art, books, or vinyl records hold so much resonance, they are not just a representation of the creators touch, much like people, they are also imbued with the spirit of the moment in which they were conceived.
Cultural movements and events are much the same way. In recent years I've had occasion to attend a number of 'throwback' style events meant to evoke the spirit and atmosphere of an era gone by. Having lived through and experienced first-hand the heyday of The Grateful Dead years, Punk Rock, Industrial Music, SRL, the early Rave years, and the birth of Ecstatic Dance, I'm able to contrast the memories of the original atmospheres with the nostalgic recreations in my mind.
The difference boils down to novelty. When a new cultural movement is bubbling up into human consciousness, it takes shape in reaction to and in the context of whatever else is new and happening in the world at the time. The connective spirit of the 60s sprang forth as a reaction to the buttoned-down 50s, new awareness of the environment, and the first images of Earth from space. Punk Rock had Reagan and Thatcher to rail against. Ravers were reveling in the utopian promise of technology and belief that the power of positivity could overcome the problems of the past.
Most movements have their moment before the wave crashes into the shores of reality. The lessons are learned, the pendulum swings, and humanity lurches towards it's next incremental awakening. Yet, in the modern era of the internet, it seems that every subculture somehow lives on. Online you can find like-minded souls who are happy to get together in whatever period garb of the day and keep on raving or thrashing or 'rolling away the dew' as the case may be.
"Zeitgeist" is a concept derived from 18th to 19th-century German philosophy loosely translated as "spirit of the age." It is the "defining mood of a particular period of history as shown by the ideas and beliefs of the time." When you're putting together your workshops or events, or even just having a dinner party, keep in mind the element of novelty. Nothing you do exists in a vacuum, and when you stand firmly in the present moment with one arm around the past and the other reaching towards the future, you make a valuable contribution to the human chain of culture in the here and now.
Atmospheres are ineffable, yet their imprint is enormous. Allow yourself to step back and see the bigger picture of what you are doing in the context of the overall impression you will make. It's more than just what people do, it's how they feel long after that counts. The tiniest of details can make the difference!
Wishing you the best from a high elevation on this April Fools Monday, much love until next week!

Playing Icycle: On Thin Ice feels more like interacting with a movie than playing a game. You guide the hapless (and naked) Dennis through an increasingly treacherous frozen wasteland with nothing but a bicycle and a warm hat. The world will shift, crack, and crumble all around you, often sending Dennis up an ice flow or down into frozen lakes. The animation is so seamless that it's almost like you're watching a cutscene.
What is more game-like about Icycle is the emphasis on completing level objectives while performing dangerous jumps to collect ice chunks. Doing so will let you unlock new tools and eventually clothing for Dennis to use. I was worried when I started the game that Dennis would just stay naked, so I'm glad you have the option to clothe him. Of course, every time you careen into spikey ice, his clothes miraculously disappear, leaving Dennis to freeze to death on the ice–which is as charmingly animated as everything else in Icycle.
Icycle suffers a bit from its controls, however. The directional buttons are in the lower left-hand side of the screen, just close enough that when you're trying to guide Dennis down through a field of spikes, your finger may slip off the controls entirely. This is true of any iOS game where the controls are closer to the edges of the screen, but was a frequent issue for me in Icycle. And since Dennis can only die a few times before the level resets entirely, this can lead to many frustrating play-throughs.
But this art! Dennis' post-apocalyptic quest for warmth and love gets progressively more surreal as you play, and even references famous paintings like Rene Magritte's "The Son of Man." I wish Icycle was just an animated movie so I could take in all the details in the world without worrying about Dennis rolling to his doom.
The Good: Exceptional, surreal art makes you feel like Icycle's world is alive, and beautifully dangerous.
The Bad: It's easy to let your thumb slide off the edge of the touchscreen, which will almost certainly send Dennis to his doom.
The Verdict Please buy Dennis some pants. And bask in Icycle's art design.

Le village est situé entre Fauquemont et Schin op Geul, sur la rive droite de la Gueule.

Histoire

Les origines de Fauquemont se trouvent probablement à Vieux-Fauquemont. Le nom « Falchenberch », mentionné dans une charte du  indique probablement Vieux-Fauquemont, et non pas la ville actuelle de Fauquemont.

Inspired by the spirit of giving and fueled by determination, Davis & Elkins College students took shovels in hand this week to assist with improvements to The Icehouse. The popular campus venue hasn't been open on a regular basis because of needed repairs, specifically the correction of rain water drainage issues.
The project was initiated by the D&E International Student Organization (ISO) and coordinated through the Maintenance Department.
Davis & Elkins College students went to work this week helping with repairs to The Icehouse. Shoveling soil from the base of the building in preparation for drain installation are, clockwise from left, junior Chris Scholz of Bel Air, Md.; junior Alex Cheuvront of Parkersburg, W.Va.; junior Trevor Wratchford of Moorefield, W.Va.; senior Guilherme Hubsch of Sao Paulo, Brazil; and senior Oliver Bienias of Appenweier, Germany. Volunteers are welcome to join the effort.
Seeking a solution, Bienias and the ISO conferred with Dan Judy, director of the physical plant, and learned that the installation of drains could potentially alleviate the problem.
Students were quick to volunteer their help, Bienias says, and this week began the preparation work.
"This involves removing soil from around The Icehouse to expose some of the subsurface masonry work and provide space for drains to be installed in an attempt to minimize the amount of water that infiltrates into the building through the masonry," Judy says.
Students also cleaned the interior of The Icehouse, including the kitchen area.
The project is scheduled to continue through next week. For more information or to sign up to volunteer for a time slot, email Bienias at bieniaso@dewv.edu.
One of six national register historic landmarks on the Davis & Elkins campus, The Icehouse was built in the late 1800s by Sen. Stephen B. Elkins as a place to store ice in the summer. The structure was refurbished in 1969.

The Sundial Bed
No. 7 On The Map
Bishop's Garden Map
At the edge of the flowerbed, an 18th century English bronze sundial sits atop a 13th century Gothic column capital of Caen limestone discovered in monastery ruins near Rheims Cathedral in France. The capital was acquired from the collection of George Grey Barnard and installed in the Bishop's Garden in 1928. Mrs. John H. Gibbons, who was the second President of All Hallows Guild, gave the sundial as a memorial to her mother, Mrs. Richard S. Ely.
In the center of this changing display of annuals, bulbs, and herbs sits a pomegranate tree. In the spring you will find the Sundial Bed filled with flowering bulbs. In summer the horticulture staff create colorful displays of annuals and herbs.
From the Sundial Bed, turn toward the Cathedral and step off of the brick pavers to the stone walkway. You will find the Pool of St. Catherine at the west end of the stone wall that runs parallel to the Cathedral.
Go to the Pool of St. Catherine

FMBN Deploys N47.814bn Towards Mortgage, Construction Financing in 10 Months
Creates 1,130 mortgages and 17,083 home renovation loans
Delivers 2,921 housing units for low-medium earners
The Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria (FMBN) is set to close 2021 on a strong note with N47.814billion in loan disbursement towards mortgage and construction financing between January and October.
The remarkable feat is in continuation of FMBN Management's drive to optimize available resources and ensure that more contributors to the National Housing Fund (NHF) scheme access affordable housing, according to FMBN's Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, Arc. Ahmed Musa Dangiwa.
Specifically, FMBN disbursed about N19.886billion towards the delivery of 2,921 affordable housing units in several locations across the country. The houses comprise 1,2,3-bedroom bungalows and mixed apartment buildings with a price range of N3.6M to N8.6M.
FMBN also provided N13.508billion in NHF loans to 1,130 Nigerians to enable them to achieve their homeownership dream. The loans are payable over 30 years at a single-digit interest rate of 6%.
Additionally, the Bank disbursed N14.129billion in home renovation loans to 17,083 beneficiaries to enable them to revamp their living spaces.
Over the past four years, the current Executive Management Team has led FMBN to disburse over N169.854billion in mortgage and housing construction finance. The figure represents a 111% increase from the N152.453billion previous Managements recorded between 1992 to April 2017 – a 25-year period, before the current Management team came into office.
"We will continue to work hard towards ensuring that a greater number of Nigerians that contribute to the National Housing Fund (NHF) Scheme achieve their dreams to own and live in their homes."

Early people thought the Earth was the center of the Universe. Nowadays, we know we live on a planet that orbits a star, and together we orbit the center of our galaxy. Our galaxy is one of many billions of galaxies in the universe.
In this section, we will learn about our place in the universe, as well as properties of the Earth that pertain to the Sun-Earth-Moon system, such as phases of the moon, eclipses and seasons.
In the early days of astronomy, people thought that the Earth was the center of the universe. It was believed that the sun, moon and stars orbited Earth. This is understandable, since it looks that way to us. We even still say that the sun rises in the morning, even though we now know that the apparent motion of the sun through the day is due to the rotation of the Earth on its axis.
The rise of scientific knowledge has come about because of the tireless, painstaking work of very many people, adhering to the scientific method. Although there is not really one form of the scientific method, it is generally recognized that this method entails the connection between observation, theory and experimental verification.
In the case of astronomy, experiments cannot be done in the same way that they are done in other fields, like chemistry for example. In a good experiment, a scientists holds all variables fixed except for one, and manipulates just that one aspect to see what effect is has on the system. We cannot do the same thing with stars and planets. We can't go to a star and change some aspect of the star and then measure the result. What we can do is gather light from the star and make measurements of the light. We can also build models of stars on computers, using the basic laws of physics. Agreement between computational modeling and observation provides us with an increasingly richer understanding of how stars, planets and the universe work.
Another issue with observational astronomy is that the time frames for significant evolution in astrophysical systems can be extremely long, compared to a human lifetime. How can we hope to understand processes that take millions of years to develop?
One way to answer this question would be to consider what you might think about human beings if you were only able to observe the Earth for a short time, very much shorter than a human lifespan. The fact that there are many people living on the Earth would give you a lot of information, even in a short time. You would see people of different sizes and ages, and could possibly draw conclusions about how people change as they age.
Similarly, we have only a short snapshot of the stars, but there are very many stars populating our galaxy. We can infer much about the evolution of stars from our observations of large numbers of stars. As for planets, our technology has only recently advanced to the point where we can view extrasolar planets, outside our own solar system. As we learn more about other solar systems, our theories about our own solar system formation must evolve to include observations of solar systems in general.
We no longer believe that Earth is the center of the universe. We now know that Earth is a planet that orbits a star, one of the roughly 200 billion stars in our galaxy. Our galaxy is one of the roughly 200 billion galaxies in our known universe. We know this because of long, time exposure photographs taken by the Hubble telescope, called deep-field images. To take images like these, the Hubble telescope was trained on a relatively empty-looking area of the night sky, taking successive observations. Please visit hubblesite.org to learn more.
The Hubble Deep field image shows us that there are very many galaxies, some similar to our own Milky Way galaxy. Since we reside within the Milky Way, we cannot yet see how it appears from a distance. Perhaps some day we will venture outside our galaxy, but for now, our earliest probes are barely leaving our solar system. Even so, astronomers have done a lot of work to understand our galaxy and how it is laid out in space. Estimates vary between 100 billion and 200 billion as to how many stars are present in the Milky Way.
The Milky Way is some 100,000 light years across. It is extremely hard for us to grasp distances that large. One way to gain an understanding of this vast distance is to compare it to sizes in our everyday lives, in decreasing scales by powers of ten. The link below takes you to one such journey, beginning with a representation of the Milky Way galaxy, decreasing to our everyday world, and continuing on down to subatomic sizes.
Since ancient times, people have noticed patterns in the stars of the night sky. Stories were built up around the groupings, or constellations, that ancient folks identified. The constellations became a backdrop for the stories and lore that was passed down through the generations.
Different cultures interpreted the groupings in their own ways, and named the constellations to fit their interpretations. For example, Orion the hunter is a constellation from Greek mythology, but the Sumerians named the constellation Uru An-na, and considered it to represent Gilgamesh, their equivalent of Hercules. The Chinese also regarded the constellation as a hunter, but called it Shen. Ancient Egyptians associated this constellation with Osiris, the god of rebirth and the afterlife.

Constellations look to us to be groupings of stars, but often the stars only appear to us to be close to each other because of our viewpoint. A side view of Orion (which we can only imagine seeing) would show that some of the stars are actually very far apart from each other, and not really grouped at all. This depiction shows that some stars are a hundred light years apart.
A light year is not a time a time at all; it is defined as the distance that light travels in a year. Since light travels at 300 million meters per second, a light year is about six trillion miles, or 63,000 times as far away as the sun is from earth. In astronomy, the typical distances that we talk about are so vast that we need really big units to discuss them.
Following the paths of stars through the night, we see that they trace out concentric circles about the North Star. Perhaps it is no wonder that ancient people thought the Earth was the center of everything.
The above image is a time-lapse photograph that shows the paths stars take over the course of a few hours. The constellations appear to move across the sky at night. Of course, it is really the result of earth's rotation that we are noticing. Stars do move, but they are so far away that we cannot discern their motion over the course of one night. The star that happens to lie directly over the north pole seems to stand still. We call this the North Star, or Polaris. You can locate Polaris by finding the Big Dipper, and tracing a line from the front two stars to the tail of the Little Dipper. If you watch the Big Dipper over the course of a night, you will see that it rotates around Polaris. We call stars that do this "circumpolar stars." If you look away from the north, you will see that the stars still seem to have a curved progression across the sky. There is currently no star that sits just above the south pole, but there are circumpolar stars in the southern hemisphere.
Ancient people mapped the heavens and thought of the stars as residing on the surface of a great sphere surrounding the world, called the celestial sphere. We now know that stars do not all lie at the same distance from us, but the idea of the celestial sphere is still used, since it is a convenient way to describe the locations of the stars in the night sky, as viewed from earth.
To learn more about the celestial sphere, please view this video tutorial (transcript), and go to the celestial sphere interactive to experiment with the software.


1. It is one of the cleanest cities in the world and the cleanest one in Morocco!
4. Its architecture reminds me of Eastern Poland- it is probably the only city in Morocco with sloping roofs!
6. The city is very green!


In an attempt to reassure worried customers and investors, Blackberry has issued an open letter addressing customers, partners and fans. The open letter is trying to deliver the message that "You can continue to count on BlackBerry" despite the company's troubled performance this year. The most recent incident that caused people to lose faith in BlackBerry came when they announced a $1 billion inventory write-down on the Z10 handset that failed miserably to meet sales expectations.
The open letter acknowledges that "These are no doubt challenging times for us and we don't underestimate the situation or ignore the challenges" but it also states "speaking of those dramatic headlines, it's important that we set the record straight on a few things". Blackberry claims that with substantial cash reserves and a debt free balance sheet, combined with a restructuring aimed to cut expenses by 50%, there's no way Blackberry is going under any time soon. They also claim that their best in class productivity tools, security, enterprise mobility management and mobile social networks will continue to make them a competitive brand in the future.
You can read the open letter for yourself right here. What do you think of BlackBerry's situation?
I really hope it's not just lip service. I like Blackberry, I've always had a soft spot for them and hope to use their phones & apps again soon.
