Beetroot Boosts Sporting Performance In Athletes
It's the bright-red root veggie more often found in a borsht than a breakfast smoothie, but the humble beetroot could become one of the next go-to foods for athletes as UniSA research shows it can provide a competitive edge when it comes to playing sport.
Evaluating the performance effects of foods that are thought to have a beneficial effect on aerobic performance, researchers found that beetroot, grapes, sour cherries, and pine bark extract, which contribute to nitric oxide availability in the body, boost endurance exercise performance.
Assessing data from 118 studies involving 1,872 participants from 25 different countries, the meta-analysis evaluated the effect of consuming nitrate-rich foods (typically green leafy vegetables), foods that contain polyphenols (such as berries, cherries, and cocoa), and L-Citrulline (found in watermelon) on exercise endurance performance.
The study, published in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition, found that the nitrate levels contained in beetroot, which have been shown to boost blood flow and increase the delivery of nutrients and oxygen to muscles during exercise, helped athletes perform better more quickly.
Similarly, the polyphenols in grapes, cherries, and pine bark extract helped protect nitrate from degradation in the body, boosting stamina. And, despite the ability of L-citrulline to boost nitric oxide production in the body, consuming watermelon (high in L-citrulline) did not boost exercise performance.
Lead researcher and UniSA Ph.D. candidate Noah D'Unienville says these findings provide further evidence of foods as natural endurance enhancers.
"There's a lot of interest in nitrate-rich and polyphenol-rich foods because of their potential to boost exercise performance, but just because they contain these elements, doesn't mean this will translate into improved exercise performance," D'Unienville says.
"While our study shows that beetroot (among other foods) can boost performance, other nitrate-rich foods such as red spinach, Swiss chard, and rhubarb, did not show similar benefits.
"Also, while grapes, pine bark extract, and sour cherries can help athletes perform better and faster, we found no effects for other polyphenol-rich foods, including blackcurrant, cocoa, ginseng, green tea, or raisins."
Co-researcher, UniSA's Professor Jon Buckley says that while these foods were effective in boosting exercise performance and building stamina, their effects did discriminate.
"The results did show that more significant effects among athletes who were less fit, and also that men were more likely to benefit from these foods than women," Prof Buckley says.
"Certainly, there were some limitations with the sample size of women, but this finding does suggest further investigation is warranted.
"All in all, we know that trying to get fit takes time and effort but add a glass of beetroot juice to your training schedule and you just might see the difference."


There are a number of Forex trading strategies developed over the years.
Few are based on fundamental analysis while other rely on the chart, patterns and numbers using technical analysis.
Following just a single system all time can't make you a successful trader.
A trader needs to know how to face various market conditions.This is not an easy task and requires a good understanding of various strategies.
To help you understand and learn more, we have created a list of various popular trading strategies, ranging from basic to complex.
They are represented for educational purpose and they can be applied by each trader in a different way.
A good money management skill and trading psychology always also plays an important role to make you a successful trader with any of this strategy.
Following video presents a very easy strategy for beginners in Forex. He recommends that new traders stick to higher timeframe charts like the daily EUR/USD chart he used in his example.
Day trading is one kind of trading style in which a day trader usually opens and closes all positions on the same day. In this type of trading, traders do not hold any overnight position.
It is a short term trading technique but a bit longer term than scalping. Most of the day traders use 15 minutes, 30 minute or hourly charts for trading.
One of the hardest questions new traders ask themselves is what is the trend? An uptrend is simply a series of higher highs and higher lows as indicated on the chart below. A downtrend is a series of lower lows and lower highs.
Determining the trend depends on the timeframe you'll be using to trade the market. The hourly chart may show an uptrend in a particular currency pair while the 4 hours may show a downtrend at the same time.
Fibonacci retracement is very useful in forex trading as it can determine potential support and resistance levels. These supports and resistances are particularly useful to detect reversals and entry opportunities. Fibonacci retracements tool is very useful for both day trading and long term trading with daily charts.
One should use Fibonacci retracements to find trading opportunities near retracement levels and then take entry decisions using technical indicators. We will discuss a day trading strategy using Fibonacci retracement tool. William % R is used in this strategy.
Here in this section, we will discuss a simple day trading strategy. This is a simple and effective trading strategy to start the day trading.
Indicators used: Bollinger bands (period = 20 and deviations = 2) and MACD (12, 26, 9) indicators used in this strategy.
Currency pairs: This strategy can be used in any currency pair. It is better to trading in the major currencies only.
We have already learned about the formation of Reversal Patterns – Head and Shoulders Top and Bottom.
Now we will discuss on how we can trade these chart patterns.
These head and shoulders patterns can be traded in two ways; breakout and pullback. We already know that there is a neckline in every head and shoulders pattern. When price breaks this neckline, then it is a breakout and an entry signal.
We have already discussed Reversal Patterns – Double Top and Double Bottom and learned to identify them and their effect. The double top and double bottom chart patterns are very useful in case of trading in financial markets. These patterns are found frequently, and these are very profitable chart patterns to trade.
One thing we should remember that, it is not necessary to form exactly similar high or similar low in case of a double top and double bottom pattern respectively. Sometimes double top patterns found with a lower high point and double bottom pattern with a higher low point.
Some Forex traders trade currencies for the interest gap between two currencies. This is called carry trade. In carry trading, Forex traders aim to pull out the interest gap as profit when the price of the pair lies flat.
It includes selling a currency with low interest rate, then using it to buy a currency with higher interest rate.
This strategy uses the 5-minute chart of Tata Motors. We'll use the 5-minute EUR/USD chart, so open a new blank 5-minute chart of this currency pair.
This is an addition to an earlier article I wrote on a similar topic called "How to Use the RSI for Intraday Trading" .
The author of that strategy shares some more info about his intraday system. This time, he adds the Bollinger Bands indicator to the mix. This video is fairly short and like the last one lacks in detail regarding the entry signal.
We should know about momentum strategy first. A momentum strategy is a strategy by which a trader trades in the direction of the major trend of the market or currency pair. Momentum strategy often called Trend Following Strategy.
In the case of momentum traders, they tend to take long positions when the market is in the uptrend, and they tend to take short positions when the market is in the downtrend. Momentum traders may hold a position for short term or mid term or long term, depending upon the condition of a trend.
The video linked below deals with trading breakouts and how to get in a breakout trade early. Trading breakouts can be one of the most frustrating experiences for traders and especially for newer traders. Price will often break a previous high by just a few pips only to fall back into the range. How do you avoid this?
Forex scalping trading is a very short term trading method. In this method, a trader usually holds a position only for few minutes. This method is quite different from day trading.
In the case of day trading, traders usually hold the position for hours and close the position on the same day. In the case of scalping method, traders not only close position on the same day but also close the position in few minutes. Those who use this scalping method are known as scalpers. Scalpers take entry several times in a day to make quick small profits.
We'll be going over the Forex scalping strategy presented in the video below.
What are some of the advantages of using a scalping strategy to trade the Forex market?
Quick profits Entry and exit is usually done within a couple of minutes. This allows for quick profits but can lead to quick losses as well.

What: All Issues : Making Government Work for Everyone, Not Just the Rich or Powerful : (H.R. 1255) Final passage of legislation which provided that if the Senate failed to pass a bill funding the federal government through September 2011, a House-passed government funding bill would be "deemed" current law (2011 house Roll Call 224)
(H.R. 1255) Final passage of legislation which provided that if the Senate failed to pass a bill funding the federal government through September 2011, a House-passed government funding bill would be "deemed" current law
house Roll Call 224 Apr 01, 2011
This was a vote on final passage of legislation which provided that if the Senate failed to pass a bill by April 6, 2011) funding the federal government through September 2011, a House-passed government funding bill would be "deemed" current law.
In February, the House of Representatives passed legislation funding the federal government through September 2011 and cutting $61 billion from federal programs. The Democratic-controlled Senate had rejected that legislation. In addition, President Obama had threatened to veto it. In response, the Republican-controlled House drafted a bill—known as H.R. 1255—that would "deem" the House government-funding bill to have been enacted if the Senate failed to pass a government funding measure. In addition, H.R. 1255 barred members of Congress from receiving paychecks during a government shutdown.
Democrats argued that legislation in which the House "deemed" a bill that had never passed the Senate to be the law of the land was blatantly unconstitutional. Republicans contended that, since the underlying bill (H.R. 1255) would have to be passed by the Senate in order for the government-funding bill (H.R. 1) to become law, the H.R. 1255 was constitutional. The Washington Post's Felicia Sonmez explained:
… If the Senate were to pass H.R. 1255 (and if the president were to sign it), the Senate would be determining its own rules for how H.R. 1 would become law (i.e., by the Senate not passing its own funding bill by April 6). So, that would be in accordance with the Constitution, the House Republicans' argument goes.
In order for H.R. 1255 -- the measure stating that H.R. 1 can become law through only a vote of the House -- to become law, H.R. 1255 would have to pass both the House and the Senate and be signed by the president.
Nothing will happen if H.R. 1255 is only taken up by the House and not the Senate.
What it all boils down to is that the provision calling for H.R. 1 to become the "law of the land" (as House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) termed it Wednesday) is moot unless the new measure is approved by both the Senate and the president — an unlikely prospect.
Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA) urged support for the bill: "America averages now trillion-dollar deficits. We borrow nearly 40 cents of every dollar we spend. Given the fiscal cloud that hangs over our country, it is reckless to assume we can live pain-free forever. Sooner or later, something has to give.… We made clear that only by putting federal spending on a sustainable trajectory could we create the conditions necessary for growth and job creation….we passed H.R. 1 to fund the government for the remainder of the fiscal year and save taxpayers $61 billion relative to current spending….we've practically begged President Obama and Senate Democrats to get serious and come to the table with a legitimate proposal. But we got nothing in return. No legislation. No credible plan to cut spending….Today, we are bringing a bill to the floor that makes clear that continued inaction on the part of the Senate Democratic majority is simply unacceptable.
Rep. Todd Rokita (R-IN) also supported this bill: "I've worked tirelessly with my colleagues to pass a continuing resolution [government funding bill] that saves taxpayers money and keeps the government running, while the other body, as we continue to hear, has done nothing but complain. Are they blind? Are they deaf? Do they not see, do they not hear what the rest of the people in this country see and here in terms of this country's financial crisis, in terms of this country's debt, in terms of what we're doing to our children and grandchildren by continuing to do nothing?...we've waited 41 days for them to send us a funding bill, and we've got nothing. At least the members who will be voting for this bill, who will be voting in favor of this bill, are showing leadership, are showing the American people that we care about the future of this country and that we do care about jobs."
Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) opposed the bill: "…Once again, instead of working to create jobs, grow the economy, reduce the deficit and strengthen the middle class, the majority is spending its time engaged in ideological lawlessness disrespectful of the U.S. Constitution, and all because of their political base and to benefit their political base….The House cannot simply close their eyes, pretend that the Senate and the President have passed and signed the bill into law. It does not work that way. When a bill actually passes the Senate, the Senate has actually passed the bill. And when the President picks up a pen and puts his name on it, and not a second before, that bill has been signed into law. No amount of magical thinking can change these simple facts."
Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY) mocked the Republican supporters of this bill, and read from a children's book (entitled "House Mouse, Senate Mouse") explaining how a bill becomes a law: "I brought you this, `House Mouse, Senate Mouse,' which is sold in the gift shop to teach children how to understand the Constitution, and permit me to read:`It's the floor of each Chamber of the Senate and House where each Senator and each Congress mouse gets to vote on the bill, and if enough do, if enough do, this president signs it if he likes to.' Well, the Senate mice haven't passed this [bill] yet. Perhaps if these were the rules that the Republicans had to follow--it's a much thinner book and it rhymes--maybe you'd get it right, but this is not the Constitution."
The House passed this bill by a vote of 221-202. Voting "yea" were 221 Republicans. All 187 Democrats present and 15 Republicans voted "nay." As a result, the House passed legislation which provided that if the Senate failed to pass a bill funding the federal government through September 2011, a House-passed government funding bill would be "deemed" current law.

India Demands "Immediate, Safe Return" Of Air Force Pilot Captured By Pakistan
Preeti Garg
The government said it expects the immediate and safe return of an Indian Air Force pilot captured by Pakistan after an air combat between the two sides for the first time since 1971, which marked the worst escalation between the neighbours in decades.
In a demarche handed over to the Pakistani envoy in the evening, India lodged a strong protest at what it called an "unprovoked act of aggression by Pakistan", saying its jets had targeted military installations in India a day after India's air strike to target a terror camp in Balakot.
"India also strongly objects to Pakistan's vulgar display of an injured personnel of the Indian Air Force in violation of all norms of International Humanitarian Law and the Geneva convention. Pakistan was well advised to ensure that no harm comes to the Indian defence personnel in its custody," said New Delhi.
Pakistan initially claimed it had two Indian pilots, but amended later that "there is only one pilot" and he is being treated "as per norms of military ethics". In various videos circulated by Pakistani accounts, the pilot was seen blindfolded and wounded, his arms tied behind his back, being interrogated. The videos were quickly taken off as Pakistan faced allegations of violating the Geneva Convention for prisoners. Later, a video showed the pilot sipping tea, saying that "officers of the Pakistani army have looked after me well".
Pakistan said that it had carried out "strikes across Line of Control from within Pakistani airspace". Islamabad said it was "not retaliation" and it had "no intention of escalation", but a demonstration that it was fully prepared to do so if forced. "That is why we undertook the action with clear warning and in broad daylight," it said.
In response, the government said its pilot was "missing in action" after shooting down a Pakistani aircraft that was targeting Indian military installations. The Pakistani F-16 aircraft, shot down by the MiG Bison, crashed on Pakistani territory in the Lam Valley area.
Pakistan Prime Minister Imran khan, in a televised address, called for dialogue and said: "It was our plan to not cause any collateral damage, and not to cause any casualties. We simply wanted to show capability. Two Indian MiGs crossed Pakistan's Borders, and we shot them down. I want to now address India and say let sanity prevail." Better sense should prevail, he said, adding, "We should sit down and talk."
Amid rising tension, Prime Minister Narendra Modi met with the military chiefs, the National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, the Defence and Foreign Secretaries and intelligence officials. He called the military chiefs again to his home for discussions.
The PM was targeted by 21 opposition parties who, in a statement after a meeting, condemned "blatant politicization of the armed forces" and criticized political programmes attended by top BJP leaders amid the deepening crisis.
India had been on high alert amid warnings of retaliation by Islamabad after IAF fighter jets destroyed a terror camp of the Jaish-e-Mohammed in Balakot, around 80 km from the Line of Control, in a pre-dawn strike on Tuesday.
New Delhi said it was a "non-military and pre-emptive" strike based on credible inputs that Jaish was training suicide bombers for more attacks like Pulwama. Over 40 soldiers were killed on February 14 when a Jaish-e-Mohammed suicide bomber attacked a security convoy.

What to keep and how long to keep it.
Tax records should be kept on a year-round basis, not hastily assembled just for your annual tax appointment. Without tax records, you can lose valuable deductions by forgetting them on your tax return, or you may have unsubstantiated items disallowed if you are audited.
Generally, returns can be audited for up to three years after filing. However, the IRS may audit for up to six years if there is substantial unreported income. The three and six year limits start with the filing of a tax return; if no return is filed, the time limit never starts to run.
Home improvements, sales, and refinances (for homes with profit potential of $250,000 or more).
Investment purchases and sales information.
The documents for inherited property.
Charitable contributions (records vary with value of gift).
Records on nondeductible IRA contributions.
Just how long you should keep records is partly a matter of judgment and a combination of state and federal statutes of limitations. Federal tax returns can be audited for up to three years after filing (six years if underreported income is involved). It is a good idea to keep most records for six years after the return filing date.
There are some records worth keeping permanently, partly due to long-term needs and partly because they take up very little room. Consider permanently retaining a copy of each year's tax return. Contracts, real estate buy/sell records, and records of property improvements should be retained for seven years after the property is sold.
If you are in business, your record requirements are more extensive. Please e-mail us at [email protected] and we will be happy to assist you with a system of record retention for your business.

Alexandria Courtney
#resilient
Written by Joey Austin
CHARACTER TRAIT: Resilient
DEFINITION: Able to withstand or recover quickly from difficult conditions.
When you first meet Alexandria Courtney, you notice her poise and confidence. She's energetic, kind and ready to help. As a full-time access representative for Mosaic Life Care, she's the first line for patients as they walk into Mosaic's doors. Behind her smile and warm personality, you would never know the traumatic events she's been dealing with for the last few years.
Her story is one of resiliency, the blessings of modern health care and the kindness of friends.
Pregnant with her third child, Alexandria began having complications with her pregnancy and was sent to St. Luke's and placed on bed rest. At 26 weeks, after trying to extend the pregnancy as close as possible to the 40-week, full-term mark, she gave birth to her son, Nick. He weighed 1 pound, 8 ounces when born, which is considered normal for premature infants born there. Nick came home after a few weeks. One day Alexandria noticed he was wheezing and struggling to breath. By the time she arrived at the Mosaic Life Care emergency department, his tiny body was in full respiratory distress. He was immediately sent to Children's Mercy Hospital.
While at Children's Mercy, Nick's true struggles began. His lung collapsed and he got an infection. Multiple procedures were performed, including inserting a trach and feeding tube. He was on paralytics due to the spells he was suffering. Nick was diagnosed with chronic lung disease, pulmonary hypertension, and atrial septal defect (ASD). Nick would spend more than a year and a half at Children's Mercy. Alexandria did her best to visit him during the week and on weekends after work.
"There were some weekends we couldn't go, due to weather. I was juggling our two girls at home. During flu season, the girls were restricted from seeing him. It was a difficult time," Alexandria said.
As the months wore on, it became clear Nicholas would have difficult medical care when he came home. Faced with these burdens, Alexandria shared her concerns with her Emergency Department co-workers, Jackie McKnight, RN, and Ma'Kia Irvin, Emergency Services Associate. They jumped in to help. Ma'Kia is even considering a career in respiratory from her interactions with Nicholas.
"They were amazing. They went down to Children's Mercy to learn tracheotomy care, how to administer his meds and feed him through his gastrostomy tube. They wanted me to be able to take a break, sometimes just so I could shower. They are and have been amazing," said Alexandria.
Nicholas is thriving since he came home from Children's Mercy Hospital after a 16-month stay.
"I wouldn't have been able to take care of Nicholas and my girls without this support from my co-workers and friends. They've been there for me through it all. I'll never forget what they've done for my family."
Her friends are quick to agree. "Alex is a solid person and friend. I love to help care for Baby Nicholas," says Jackie. From the looks of the photo, Nicholas agrees!
Amidst the chaos of a packed gymnasium… squeak, squeak. Bounce. Bounce. These are the only sounds that matter. Sneakers and a basketball against a polished gym floor.
#ESTABLISHED
When visitors and locals visit historic Hall Street in St. Joseph, they usually look up. A lot. And then they stop and stare. They take pictures and walk very slowly. They usually return, because this neighborhood known as "Millionaire's Row" tells the story of St. Joseph's turn-of-the century wealth and opulence like nothing else.
Walking into Café Belle Epoque takes you back in time. The copper tin ceiling, marble table tops, hardwood floors, wood-burning stove and jazz music seem to transport you to a period of economic glamour in historic St. Joseph.
For 100 years, the iconic Cherry Mash has been made in St. Joseph. The combination of peanuts, chocolate and cherry fondant is the third-oldest continuously made candy bar in the country.
#DEDICATED
Striding through the doors of Artcrafts Engraving Co. transports you from the modern streets of St. Joseph back through our history in manufacturing.

High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein
HANGING OF 42 PRISONERS IN IRAQ RAISES CONCERN OVER FLAWED DUE PROCESS – UN RIGHTS CHIEF
September 27, 2017:
The mass hanging of 42 prisoners on September 24 in a prison in southern Iraq raises massive concerns over the country's use of the death penalty, the UN human rights chief said.
"I am appalled to learn of the execution of 42 prisoners in a single day," UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein said in a press release from his Office (OHCHR), referring to the hanging at Al Hoot prison in the city of Nasiriyah.
"Under international law, the death penalty may only be imposed after a strict set of substantive and procedural requirements have been met," he added.
Mr. Zeid said it was "extremely doubtful" that these strict due process and fair trial guarantees – including the men's rights to effective legal assistance and a full appeals process, and to seek pardon or commutation of their sentence – had been met in every one of these 42 individual cases.
Iraqi government officials have stated that the executed prisoners were Iraqis affiliated to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL/Da'esh) or al-Qaeda, who had been charged under anti-terrorism laws with offences including kidnapping, killing members of the security forces, carrying out armed robberies, and detonating improvised explosive devices.
However, no information has been released about their names, places of residence, exact crimes, trials, date of sentencing, or the appeals processes which Iraqi officials say they have exhausted.
Iraqi officials have stated that around 1,200 of the estimated 6,000 prisoners held in Nasiriyah have been sentenced to death.
OHCHR has repeatedly warned that the Iraqi justice system as a whole is too flawed to allow for any executions, expressing concern over reports that Iraq may be planning to expedite the process of executing prisoners already sentenced to death while urging the Government to step back from its policy of accelerated or mass executions.
Mr. Zeid called on the Government to establish a special judicial oversight body to make recommendations on legal reforms that would ensure respect for due process and fair trial standards, as well as to monitor any future trials related to capital punishment.
He also urged the authorities to halt all imminent executions and to establish an immediate moratorium on the use of the death penalty.

ГлавнаяWe celebrateYom KippurYom Kippur
Опубликовано в Yom Kippur
Yom Kippur, also known as the Day of Atonement, is observed on the tenth day of the month of Tishrei and comes at the close of ten days of repentance.
The name Yom Kippur has appeared in medieval rabbinic literature. In the Torah this holiday is called Yom-ha-Kippurim (the Day of the covering or concealing of sins). The word "kippur" comes from two Hebrew words, "kofer" (ransom) and "kapore" (cover or concealing).
"The Lord said to Moses, "the tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement. Hold a sacred assembly and deny yourselves, and present a food offering to the Lord. Do not do any work on that day, because it is the Day of Atonement, when atonement is made for you before the Lord your God" (Leviticus 23:26-28).
This entire day, from evening until the following evening, is dedicated to repentance, prayer and reading the Scriptures. On this holiday, it is prescribed that one is humble, refrains from any kind of activity with the exception of attending prayer services, and completes fasting within 25 hours as a sign of repentance before the Almighty Judge. Jewish people believe that on Yom Kippur their sins certainly will be forgiven. But, nobody expects that this forgiveness will be granted to them because of their righteousness or due to their own merits. Everybody is waiting for the manifestation of mercy of the Most High, "Those who do not deny themselves on that day must be cut off from their people. I will destroy from among their people anyone who does any work on that day. You shall do no work at all. This is to be a lasting ordinance for the generations to come, wherever you live. It is a day of Sabbath rest for you, and you must deny yourselves. From the evening of the ninth day of the month until the following evening you are to observe your Sabbath" (Leviticus 23:29-32). Therefore, Yom Kippur is also called Shabbat Shabbaton, a Sabbath of Sabbaths.
It is thought that on Yom Kippur sins against God are forgiven. But Yom Kippur itself doesn't redeem sins against human beings unless one makes peace with everyone whom he offended. Therefore, Jewish tradition advises to start the process of repentance long before the holiday. If you have committed an offense against a person, you must sincerely ask him for forgiveness. The sufferer should also be merciful if the remorse is sincere. A person shouldn't only ask for forgiveness, but also as far as it is possible, he should compensate for all damage caused, both material and nonmaterial in nature.
When the Temple stood in Jerusalem in all its grandeur and beauty on Mount Moriah, all the solemnity of this day was focused in the Temple through festive worship and sacrifices.
After the deaths of Nadab and Abihu who tried to bring unauthorized fire into the Holy of Holies (Leviticus 10:1-2), God gave certain commands. They describe in detail the conditions under which the high priest could enter the Holy of Holies once a year on Yom Kippur to fulfill the commandment of bringing incense before the Ark of the Covenant. Everybody who violated this law, whether he was high priest or simple cohen (priest), was severely punished by God.
Preparations began seven days before the Day of Atonement. During this time, the high priest didn't go outside of the Temple courtyards. Tradition says that the night before Yom Kippur, the High Priest didn't sleep and wise men read the books of Scripture to him.
The first action that the high priest performed at the beginning of Temple service on Yom Kippur was purification from his own sins. The requirement of Yom Kippur was purification of the high priest's and priest's households (families) by bringing a sacrifice. When the High Priest laid his hands on the head of the sacrificial animal, he confessed his sins and asked for forgiveness on behalf of all the cohens' family.
The high priest sacrificed a young calf for his sins and for the sins of the priests. And for the sins of all people, one of the goats, "He is to cast lots for the two goats – one lot for the Lord and the other for the scapegoat" (Leviticus 16:8).
The priest sacrificed the goat to which came the lot for the Lord. The priest would then sprinkle the lid of the Ark of the Covenant in the Holy of Holies with its blood.
The high priest had to enter the Holy of Holies dressed in white as opposed to one of his four special garments (blue robe, a golden plate, breastplate of precious stones and the ephod). These garments which were given to him for the glory and greatness had to be left outside. The high priest had to enter the Holy of Holies in a state that didn't involve even a hint of pride or sense of grandeur in the presence of the Lord.
"He is to put on the sacred linen tunic with linen undergarments next to his body; he is to tie the linen sash around him and put on the linen turban. These are sacred garments, so he must bathe himself with water before he puts them on" (Leviticus 16:4). White linen dress is a sign of purity and holiness which has special meaning throughout the Scriptures, "Then one of the elders asked me: These in white robes – who are they, and where did they come from? I answered: Sir, you know. And he said: These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore, they are before the throne of God and serve him day and night in his temple; and he who sits on the throne will shelter them with his presence" (Revelation 7: 13-15).
Each time the high priest entered behind the curtain in the Temple by which the sanctuary and the Holy of Holies were separated and where the Ark of the Covenant stood (the place of God's presence), he did not know his fate. It could be that God would not accept the sacrifice of Yom Kippur due to the lack of sanctity of the high priest or due to the disobedience of the people. Therefore, on this day a huge crowd gathered in the Temple and waited for the end of the service. When the high priest appeared alive on the temple porch, it was a sign of acceptance of the offering. If the offering would not have been accepted, the high priest might die and would have to be pulled out by the rope tied to his leg because no one else had the right to enter the Holy of Holies.
The other goat chosen by lot as the scapegoat symbolized the devil himself who is the cause and the source of sin. This is confirmed by further instruction, "When Aaron has finished making atonement for the Most Holy Place, the tent of meeting and the altar, he shall bring forward the live goat. He is to lay both hands on the head of the live goat and confess over it all the wickedness and rebellion of the Israelites – all their sins – and put them on the goat's head. He shall send the goat away into the wilderness in the care of someone appointed for the task. The goat will carry on itself all their sins to a remote place; and the man shall release it in the wilderness" (Leviticus 16:20-22).
The goat with the sins of all the people was sent to a "remote place" which literally means "a land of decision", "a land of judicial verdict" or "a land of destruction". According to legend, the goat was hurled down from a cliff and crashed on the rocks.
Hurling down from the heaven is a punishment that, according to the Scripture, will be done to Satan, "The great dragon was hurled down – that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him. Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Messiah. For the accuser of our brothers and sisters, who accuses them before our God day and night, has been hurled down" (Revelation 12:9-10).
It is written that Satan (the devil) will not only be hurled down from heaven, but will be cast into the abyss, "And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key to the Abyss and holding in his hand a great chain. He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil, or Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. He threw him into the Abyss, and locked and sealed it over him, to keep him from deceiving the nations anymore until the thousand years were ended. After that, he must be set free for a short time" (Revelation 20:1-3).
And finally, it is said that the evil spirit that deceived all the nations at the end of times, will be thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, "And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever" (Revelation 20:10). In all these cases in relation to Satan were used words "to throw", "throwing", "hurl down".
Thus, sending the goat to the wilderness and throwing it off a cliff symbolizes overthrowing the power of Satan, the cleansing of all sins and annulment of all the consequences of human's transgressions as a result of their full repentance, as well as the aspiration to get closer to God.
The Talmud tells us that in the period of the First Temple when the Ark of the Covenant stood in the Holy of Holies, God's presence was so tangible that it was expressed through constant miracles which took place in the Temple. One of those miracles is connected with the goat that was sent into the desert. A strip of scarlet-dyed wool was tied to the horns of the goat and when the animal was taken out of the gates of the Temple courtyard, one of the cohens tore the strip of wool in half; one half he hung over the gate and the other half was tied again to the horns of the goat. If the repentance of the people was sincere and upright, at the very moment the goat was thrown off a cliff, the strip of red wool that hung over the gate would turn white in accordance with Isaiah 1:18, "Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool".
Additional evidence of God's acceptance of the offering was the changing of colors of shimmering curtain (paroches). The curtain was palm-size in width and it was weaved of colored threads. It separated the Holy from the Holy of Holies.
Talmud, Josephus Flavius and Philo of Alexandria testify that when Yeshua lived on the earth unusual things happened. One year when the offering was taken, a strip of red wool turned white and another year when the offering wasn't taken, a strip of red wool remained red. It started to happen when Yeshua was born. And in 30 AD when He was crucified, died and rose again, the strip and the curtain of the Temple stopped changing in color for forty years up to the day of destruction of the Temple in 70 AD. These claims were made not by Christian or Messianic sources, but by Jewish Orthodox sources which never accepted Yeshua. It's a miracle that these facts have reached us and they weren't destroyed by rabbis who were standing against Yeshua the Messiah. For forty years up to the day of destruction of the Temple, God was showing everyone that He would no longer accept the Temple sacrifice. It's sad that the majority of Jewish people didn't understand the main reason for this; that is, the perfect sacrifice of Yeshua the Messiah was already brought for all ages!
Matthew 27:51 also tells us that at the moment Yeshua died, the curtain of the Temple was torn apart from top to bottom. In that, Almighty God Himself was showing us that He opened free access to Him in heaven.
The book of Jonah is read on Yom Kippur in synagogues. This book reveals the essence of ??the Day of Atonement; forgiveness of those who have repented and return to the right path. In terms of the pagan city of Nineveh mentioned in this book, it becomes clear that God forgives if He sees repentance from a sincere heart. Jonah preached to the people of Nineveh that the town would be destroyed because of their wickedness. And all the citizens of the town, from king to slave, heeded the voice of the prophet and repented; and by doing so, they saved themselves from the wrath of God.
The first Messianic communities continued to celebrate this holiday together with the Jewish people. Acts 27:9 describes autumnal fasting and this festival as tradition. Believers knew that when the fast started, the weather and wind direction changed. Because the fast is mentioned matter-of-factly, it tells us that the celebration of Yom Kippur was the traditional annual celebration. But, it was celebrated in a completely new way in which Yeshua became the sacrifice for sin and subsequently Yeshua became both the "scapegoat" and our High Priest.
On the feast of Yom Kippur, 25 hours of full abstinence from food and drink was compulsory whereas all the others fasts on the calendar for the Jewish people were optional. Gentiles who heard the word "fasting", knew that it referred to the fasting that happened in the 7th month, as all devout Greeks, Romans, Egyptians and other nations celebrated this holiday together with the Jews and Messianic Jews.
In the New Testament, in the Epistle to Hebrews (in the 9th and 10th chapters) it is written whom Yeshua has become for us, "But when Christ came as high priest of the good things that are now already here, he went through the greater and more perfect tabernacle that is not made with human hands, that is to say, is not a part of this creation. He did not enter by means of the blood of goats and calves; but he entered the Most Holy Place once for all by his own blood, thus obtaining eternal redemption. The blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkled on those who are ceremonially unclean sanctify them so that they are outwardly clean. How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God!" (Hebrews 9:11-14).
Yeshua has become the sacrifice and scapegoat on whom God laid the sins of the whole of Israel, "We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all". (Isaiah 53: 6).
Yeshua has become our High Priest; our heavenly intercessor before the Father. Yeshua appeared alive to His disciples, thus letting them know that His sacrifice is accepted by God. He is a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek, the King of truth, of righteousness, of peace (Psalm 110:4; Hebrew 7:11-22). Our High Priest entered the Holy of Holies and opened it for all God's children. Every day we can celebrate the Day of Atonement wherein we can enter into this grace which destroys all the devil's shackles and worldly fetters.
Yeshua as the sacrifice has the power not only to cover our sins, but also to change our sinful nature into the righteous one, "For by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy" (Hebrews 10:14). Therefore, for the children of God, Yom Kippur is a holiday of liberation and sanctification! And our liberation is for joy in presence of God and in serving Him!

Larry Freed, 53, was convicted Wednesday of federal fraud charges connected to the use of $6.7 million in tax-increment financing money his companies received to redevelop a former Goldblatt's Department store on Broadway in Uptown, seen in 2001.
A Chicago developer whose firm counts Block 37, a downtown Target store and Streets of Woodfield among its projects faces up to 230 years in prison after a jury found him guilty Wednesday of bank fraud, mail fraud and making false statements to a financial institution.
Larry Freed, 53, was charged in 2013 with federal fraud charges related to a $105 million line of credit he received on properties in Chicago and the suburbs, according to prosecutors and court records.
"This crime began because he had a large financial empire and was overextended at a time when the real estate market was crashing," Renato Mariotti, lead prosecutor on the case for the U.S. attorney's office, said Thursday. "He was running out of cash, and was willing to do things that were illegal to get that cash."
For example, Freed fraudulently recorded $7 million he withdrew from a partnership that controlled the Streets of Woodfield in Schaumburg as "loans," prosecutors alleged.
"He stole money from the Streets of Woodfield — several million dollars without the consent or knowledge of his partner," Mariotti said.
Freed also took tax increment financing from the city of Chicago to which he wasn't entitled, meaning taxpayers are out almost $2 million, said Mariotti, who said he expects the city to seek restitution. The 2013 indictment said Freed received a total of almost $2.5 million in TIF funds from Chicago in 2008, 2009 and 2010. Tax increment financing is a special funding tool used by the city of Chicago to promote public and private investment.
The case file also includes a 2008 resignation letter to Larry Freed from Al O'Donnell, then the executive vice president of finance and treasury at Joseph Freed & Associates, which was founded in 1965 by Freed's father.
"What has me concerned more than anything is the continued use of partnership cash as a funding source for ongoing obligations of the company," the financial executive wrote to Freed in the three-page letter. Among other things, O'Donnell raised concerns about using historical tax credit money, earmarked for a project on South State Street, for corporate obligations. "The mindset and culture … is unsettling and most aggravating."
The lesson from Freed's case: "Whether in good times or bad, it's important to be upfront with your business partners and lenders and to play by the rules," Mariotti said.
Freed's first job after college was working in corporate real estate for May Department Stores. Two years later, Herb Simon, co-founder of what is now shopping center developer Simon Property Group, asked Freed join his firm. When Freed was home for the holidays and casually mentioned that conversation, it became clear that his parents hoped he would pick up the mantle, according to a 2009 Tribune story.
Freed joined the family business in 1986 as it became the largest privately owned shopping center developer in the Midwest. The same year, Freed took on its first historic preservation project by redeveloping Wieboldt's department store in Wicker Park. In 1993, Larry Freed became president and a year later his mother, Joyce Freed, who ran the back office, died unexpectedly. As the health of his father, Joseph, worsened, Larry Freed took on more responsibility.
He continued to build and redevelop suburban strip malls in Illinois and Michigan, while also saving old Chicago retail buildings. Freed also moved the firm's headquarters from Palatine to Chicago.
In recent years the firm helped to restore a Louis Sullivan building and other structures that made up the former Carson Pirie Scott department store on State Street. The Illinois Historic Preservation Agency praised Joseph Freed & Associates in 2011 for its work on the Loop project. The firm then helped land Target as a tenant in the restored building.
Joseph Freed & Associates also was credited with attracting such tenants as Whole Foods and Crate & Barrel to the Streets of Woodfield in Schaumburg.
The firm gained control of the long-troubled Block 37 project in 2007, when a previous developer ran into financial trouble. But the primary lender on Block 37 foreclosed on the mixed-use property bordered by State, Dearborn, Randolph and Washington streets in 2009.
While Freed fought the Block 37 lender in court, his real estate firm's financial troubles led Freed and Caroline Walters, of Palatine, the vice president of his firm, to lie to the city of Chicago and banks to get money, prosecutors alleged.
Walters pleaded guilty this month to a charge of making a false statement to a financial institution, according to prosecutors.
Freed eventually lost control of Block 37.
Long before Block 37, Freed's firm redeveloped the former Goldblatt's department store in the Uptown neighborhood, using $6.7 million in tax increment financing from the city for the project.
The firm used notes guaranteeing payment of the TIF money to get a $15 million loan from Cole Taylor Bank, according to court documents.
Several years later, the redevelopment of the former Goldblatt's used the same TIF notes as collateral to get a $105 million line of credit from a bank consortium led by Bank of America, without disclosing that the TIF money was already pledged to Cole Taylor, according to prosecutors. When Cole Taylor asked about the double pledge, the venture fraudulently told the bank it would end the double pledge, but didn't tell the bank that the Bank of America group already had declared Freed's firm in default.
Trial evidence also showed that Freed signed false affidavits in 2009 and 2010 to get millions in TIF payments from the city, even though the money was owed to the two bank groups, according to the release.
A sentencing date for Freed has not been set. A status hearing in the case is set for March 24.
Walters faces up to 30 years in prison. She's scheduled to be sentenced June 10 by U.S. District Judge Robert Dow, who also presided over Freed's trial.
A spokesperson at Joseph Freed & Associates declined to comment on the guilty verdict.
A representative from the city's Law Department couldn't be reached for comment.
Through his lawyers, Freed declined an interview request.
