To me he was just 'Tata' - son of Polish war hero General Maczek on father's new honour
By Brian Donnelly
Polish war hero
The son of the Polish war hero General Stanislaw Maczek has welcomed a campaign to honour his father in the country he helped protect.
Andrew Maczek, a retired senior lecturer who taught in the chemistry department at Sheffield University, told guests at the Scottish Parliament how the steely general had for him just been a father, or "Tata".
He said: "Now that the campaign is revitalised I am delighted. I feel nothing but pure joy. He was a family man.
"From a position of leadership he was not afraid to get his hands dirty.
"He took whatever on was necessary to keep his family together. That is what I respect him for most."
He continued: "I remember too how father used to take me into the woods to collect wild mushrooms which we then cooked and ate, much to the horror of our Scottish neighbours who thought we would all be killing ourselves."
General Stanislaw Maczek was Commander of the 1st Polish Armoured Division and a hero of the Battle of Normandy and a key player in the Allied liberation of France.
When the Second World War ended he was unable to return to his native Poland which had become part of the Soviet Union as part of an allied agreement.
Refused a war pension, he worked as barman in his adopted city of Edinburgh, he and his wife raising Andrew and his two sisters. He lived to 102.
The late Lord Fraser of Carmyllie first started the push for a permanent memorial and shortly before he died in 2013 he revealed details of his plan to raise funds for a metal bench that would include a figure of the general to be cast in Poland and then sited near the former Maczek family home in Edinburgh.
Lord Fraser's death stalled the project but now his daughter Katie Fraser, former PR advisor Archie Mackay and lawyer Roddy Harrison have established the General Stanislaw Maczek Memorial Trust.
Its patrons include one of the general's men, Captain Zbigniew Mieczkowski, the former Lord Provost of Edinburgh the Reverend Dr George Grubb and Professor Richard Demarco, one of the greatest promoters of European and Polish culture in Scotland.
Drawings created by Polish artist Bronislaw Krzysztof were approved by Lord Fraser before his death and the aim is to honour his pledge
The Polish Ex-Combatant's Association has already offered £5,000 towards the project which has a target of £100,000.
Lady Fiona Fraser said: "I am extremely pleased that the project to recognise General Maczek is once again moving forward with support from my daughter Katie and Peter's former colleagues.
"I hope it will attract a great deal of support and enable the creation of a permanent memorial to the General."

Riders of Justice (Retfærdighedens ryttere) è un film del 2020 scritto e diretto da Anders Thomas Jensen.

Trama
Mathilde perde la madre in un incidente ferroviario e suo padre, Markus, un soldato in servizio in Afghanistan, torna a casa per consolare la figlia in lutto.  Mathilde e Markus hanno difficoltà a venire a patti con la tragedia, causando tensioni nella loro relazione.  Tuttavia, Markus viene avvicinato da un uomo di nome Otto (che era sullo stesso treno con la moglie di Markus) che lo informa che l'incidente ferroviario non è stato una coincidenza, ma un omicidio pianificato per eliminare un testimone chiave in procinto di testimoniare contro il capo.  della banda di motociclisti Riders of Justice.  Con l'aiuto degli amici di Otto, Lennart ed Emmenthaler, il gruppo identifica un uomo sospetto che ha lasciato il treno pochi secondi prima dell'incidente come fratello del leader dei Riders of Justice.  Il gruppo va a casa dell'uomo, con l'intenzione di interrogarlo per avere informazioni sull'incidente, ma Markus perde il controllo e lo uccide per rabbia.  Lennart elimina le prove e incontra un giovane ragazzo ucraino di nome Bodashka.  I Cavalieri interrogano Bodashka per informazioni, portando alla loro identificazione di Emmenthaler.  I Riders tentano una sparatoria al gruppo, ma Markus riesce a uccidere gli aggressori e salvare Bodashka.  Mathilde scopre uno degli incontri del gruppo e Lennart mente e spiega che in realtà sono un gruppo di terapia che tenta di aiutare Markus con il suo trauma.  Mentre l'ensemble prepara un altro successo su Riders of Justice, Bodashka spiega che l'uomo sospetto non era sul treno;  Lennart e Otto avevano convinto Emmenthaler ad accettare un risultato di riconoscimento facciale meno accurato, e l'uomo sospetto era in realtà un turista egiziano, il che significa che la loro crociata contro i Cavalieri della Giustizia era stata commessa per errore e le prove su cui facevano affidamento era una semplice coincidenza.  Markus, imparando questo, scoppia in rabbia e frustrazione, abbassando finalmente la sua facciata di pietra e piangendo.  Il giorno successivo, i Riders seguono le connessioni sui social media lasciate dal fidanzato di Mathilde e attaccano il gruppo a casa di Markus.  Molti di loro sono feriti, Mathilde viene presa in ostaggio e Markus viene disarmato dai Cavalieri.  Otto, Lennart ed Emmenthaler, usando l'addestramento alle armi impartito loro in precedenza da Markus, tendono un'imboscata e uccidono i Cavalieri, salvando Markus e Mathilde.  Il film anticipa il Natale, dove l'intero gruppo si è unito per celebrare e aprire i regali, e Markus e Mathilde si sono riconciliati.

Our Holland at Tulip Time tour begins with three full days at Keukenhof Gardens. The main grounds include hundreds of thousands of blooms, including tulips, hyacinth, daffodils, and much more, all beautifully displayed in sculpted beds and artistically designed layouts. Walking the grounds is a visual and olfactory delight and our cameras are kept busy finding new and unique compositions.
Inside the main pavilion at Keukenhof is a collection of about 1000 tulip varieties. Their diversity is amazing! We spend several hours photographing these plants, out of the wind with softly diffused light. The shoot provides a great opportunity to experiment with focal stacking and flower isolation (using black and neutral grey backgrounds). Two smaller pavilions offer spectacular displays of roses and orchids.
From Keukenhof we head to North Holland. Aside from photographing the vast fields of hyacinth and daffodils we encounter en route, we capture many nice images of windmills. We also spend lunchtime at the beautiful seaside town of Hoorn, with produces some very nice images of the foggy harbor. In the evenings the town center is beautifully lit and our deck on the third floor of our hotel provides a great location to work from.
Our next stop is at the village of Kinderdijk. The weather has warmed considerably, with only a few light clouds,—which makes for two pleasant sunrise and sunset photography sessions. These hundreds-of-years-old windmills really shine at dusk and dawn.
Our final stop is in Bruges in northwest Belgium. Our hotel is located just a few steps from this medieval city's central square, which makes it easy for us to capture gorgeous early morning and "blue light" images of the many historic buildings, their reflections crisp and bright in the many canals.
As a bonus side trip, we visit the Hallerbos—the Blue Forest—on our way back to Amsterdam. I'm worried that we might arrive too early in the season to witness these beautiful woods and their carpet of bluebells. But my worries are entirely misplaced as the bluebells are blooming in large numbers, perfectly contrasting with fresh green leaves just unfurled on many trees.
It's a great way to finish a really enjoyable, rewarding tour.

Demchugdongrub vagy másik nevén De Wang (1902. február 9. – 1966. május 22.) mongol herceg, katonai parancsnok és államfő. Az 1936-ban japánok által létrehozott Mengkukuo (Mengjiang) hercege volt nyolc évig. Uralkodása és személye nagyon megosztó; a mongolok közül sokan nemzeti hősnek tartják, aki a belső-mongol területeket megvédte a kommunizmustól és megpróbálta feltámasztani a mongol öntudatot, de legalább ilyen sokan tartják árulónak, aki kiszolgálta a japán militarizmust és alávetette népét a japánoknak. Miután megszerezték a belső-mongol területek jelentős részét, rövid életű uralkodása alatt jelentősebb tevékenység nem történt.

1937-ig aktívan részt vett a kínai-japán háború mozzanataiban mint katonai tanácsadó. Részt vett a taiyuani csatában, a Chahar hadműveletben és a Suiyuan hadjáratban. Állama visszamaradott és jellegtelen maradt minden próbálkozása ellenére, hiába kötött Japánnal, Mandzsúriával és a többi tengelyhatalmi országgal szövetséget és kapcsolatot. Uralmát - akarata ellenére - katonai diktatúra jellemezte, a japánok leszámoltak mindenkivel aki egy kicsit is veszélyt jelentett a birodalomra, vagy Belső-Mongóliára.

1945-ben szovjet hadifogságba esett, majd hosszú ideig tartó bírósági perek után tisztára mosta a nevét. Pu Jival együtt amnesztiát kapott. Demchugdongrub ezután könyvtárosként dolgozott. Majd 1966-ban, 64 éves korában Hohhot-ban halt meg.

Élete

Ifjúkora
1902. február 9-én született Chahar tartományban. 1908-ban meghalt édesapja, Namjil. Később Demchugdongrub feleségül vette az egyik Csing arisztokrata lányát, aki két év múlva megszülte De Wang első fiát. Az ezt követő években a hercegnek még született egy lánya és egy fia. Demchugdongrub kétszer házasodott, második feleségétől még egy fiút kapott.

Politikai pályafutásának kezdete
1929-ben Demchugdongrub lett a Chahar tartomány elnöke lett. 1933-ban összegyűlt egy kis tanács Demchugdongrub vezetésével. A herceg azt javasolta, hogy egy pán-mongol mozgalmat hozzanak létre. Majd jelentést küldtek a nankingi kormánynak, hogy egy független Belső-Mongóliát akarnak. Azt is megmondták, ha tovább akadályozzák és hátráltatják őket, kénytelenek lesznek japán segítséget kérni. Erre válaszul Nanking megengedte nekik a mongol autonómiát.

Együttműködése Japánnal

Demchugdongrub 1935-ban komoly erőfeszítéseket tett annak érdekében, hogy létrejöhessen egy független mongol állam. A japánok támogatták erőfeszítéseit, mivel akkor jelentősen gyengülne Kína és destabilizálni tudnák a kommunista irányítású Külső-Mongóliát (a mai Mongóliát). 1936-ban a japán erők bevonultak a térségbe, és létrehozták Mengkukuót. 1937 márciusában létrejött a szövetség Mandzsukuóval. Az új államba nem vándorolhattak be a kínaiak, illetve minden japánellenes intézményt felszámoltak. 1937-től Japán komoly pénzösszeget fordított az állam iparának fejlesztésére, mivel az ország jelentős ásványlelőhelyekkel rendelkezett.

Összetűzés Yan Xishannal

Demchugdongrub mandzsu segítséggel elfoglalja Suiyuan tartományt (Suiyuan hadjárat) ami addig Yan Xishan hadúr uralma alatt volt. A tartomány megtartására a mongol kormány katonaság felállítását kezdeményezte. Felállítottak egy  fős hadsereget, de a felszerelés hiányos volt, sok katonának nem volt fegyvere, lábbelije. Emellett a hadsereg nem rendelkezett se tankokkal, se ágyúkkal, se lovassággal, se légierővel.

Háborúi és csatái
Suiyuan hadjárat – 1937
Második kínai–japán háború – 1937–1945
Taiyuani csata – 1937
Chahar hadművelet – 1937
Második világháború – 1939–1945

Bukása
1945-ben a szovjetek Mandzsúria ellen vonultak, és megszállták a térséget. Ekkor már mindenki tudta, hogy a másik állam, Mengkukuo is csak az utolsó hónapjait éli. 1945 augusztusában bevonultak a szovjet–mongol erők Belső-Mongóliába. A herceget elfogták, majd bíróság elé állították, ahol árulással vádolták, de Pu Jival együtt amnesztiát kapott. Demchugdongrub ezután könyvtárosként dolgozott. Majd 1966-ban, 64 éves korában Hohhot tartományban halt meg.

I am tickled PINK for several reasons. Squishy-soft, handmade slippers are a fav of mine and I am always on a quest to make awesome pairs. So when I heard Sonya of Blackstone Designs was doing slippers for her charity event I was super excited. I was even more thrilled when she asked if I would design a pair!
For those that don't know, I have a HUGE addiction for PINK so I headed to my yarn supply in search of something yummy in the perfect shade. I found just the right color sitting on my desk from Red Heart yarns. Hmmm, perfect color, but didn't really seem like slipper yarn. I thought I would give it a try and OH MY HECK!!!
Red Heart Boutique Infinity Yarn Is AWESOME Slipper Yarn! Who Knew?!
Click HERE for the ADULT WOMEN'S pattern.
Click HERE for the BIG KIDS pattern.
Skill level: Intermediate Beginner with basic crochet skills, able to read a pattern and knowledge of front and back post stitches.
Sizes: Big Kids (12.5 – 7); Teen/adult women (5 – 9).
I think you will LOVE using Red Heart Infinity yarn. I chose the color "Blossom" which is a beautiful, rosy pink, for the adult pair. It makes a super soft pair of slippers.
I traded my crocs for happy feet while my assistant, Bookie, enjoyed a breezy, sunny day.
Extra warm feet (shown above) : start with one strand Red Heart Infinity yarn plus one strand super saver yarn. Work with both strands until cuff is started around opening of slipper. Continue with only the infinity yarn. Red heart super saver shocking pink matches Infinity Blossom really well.
Add a sole: Handmade slippers are SLIPPERY and should be worn on carpeted surfaces or please consider adding gripper fabric or similar item to the sole. Click HERE for some great suggestions.
This yarn is super soft and the slippers would make a nice gift for those who need an extra special hug.

10 Things to Do at Walt Disney World that Don't Require Theme Park Admission
Explore the Resorts
Play Mini Golf
Shop at Disney Springs
Walk around The Boardwalk
Watch the Electric Water PAGEANT
Enjoy the Fireworks from the Polynesian Beach
Have a pool day
Take an Animation Class
Attend the Hoop-dee-doo Musical Revue
Do a Tour
A question we get often is about activities at Walt Disney World that don't require theme park admission. On our longer trips, we always reserve at least one day to spend at the pool and explore the attractions on property but outside of the parks. Today we're sharing ten things to do at Walt Disney World that don't require a ticket!
This is one of our all time favorite activities. All the Disney resorts are open to the public. You can explore the grounds and lobby, shop in the boutiques, dine in the restaurants, and take as many photos as you want. We've made it our goal to explore all the resorts, but if you only want to see a few we recommend:
The Monorail Resorts (Contemporary, Polynesian, Grand Floridian)
Animal Kingdom Lodge (be sure to walk to the Savannah viewing area to see the giraffes)
Boardwalk, Beach Club, and Yacht Club

Disney has two mini golf courses. One is located outside of Blizzard Beach, and the other outside of the Swan Resorts. The Winter Summerland Mini Golf at Blizzard Beach has two, eighteen hole courses. It's free to park at the water park, and bathrooms located outside of the park. Adults can play for $14, and kids for $12. Typical hours are 10 am – 10 pm, but it varies based on the season.
The Fantasia Gardens and Fairways Mini Golf is located at the Swan Resort. To play, park in the resort parking lot and walk along the path towards the tennis courts. Here, you'll find the mini golf course and a building to pay for your game. Adults can play for $14, and kids for $12. Typical hours are 10 am – 10 pm, but it varies based on the season.
Looking for something different? Disney also offers Foot Golf at the Oak Trail Golf Course near the Polynesian! It's just like golf, but all the holes are 21 inches in diameter and you play with a soccer ball!

Disney Springs (formerly Downtown Disney) is a shopping, dining, and entertainment district at Walt Disney World. It's completely free to the public, including parking. There's a huge variety of stores to shop at ranging from popular clothing merchants to Disney specific stores. There's also many restaurants, bars, lounges, and specialty shops that a wide range of ages can enjoy. And, there's attractions like the new NBA Experience, AMC Theaters, and the AmphiCar Tours.

The Boardwalk is a toned-down version of Disney Springs. It has restaurants, shopping, bakeries, ice cream parlors, bars, and entertainment, but it's definitely less hectic than Disney Springs. In the afternoon different carnival games are open, and at night street performers come out. It's a lot of fun, and easy to get to via the new Skyliner, boats from Epcot and Hollywood Studios, or buses. If you want to drive, you can park at the Boardwalk Resort!
The Electric Water Pageant is a water parade on the Seven Seas Lagoon every night. It's similar to the Main Street Electric parade, with floats in the shape of sea animals lit up with bright lights accompanied by Disney music. You can watch the show at the Polynesian at 9 pm, Grand Floridian at 9:15, Wilderness Lodge at 9:30, Fort Wilderness Campground at 9:45, the Contemporary Resort at 10:10, and Magic Kingdom at 10:35 pm (during extended hours only).
Courtesy of Theme Park Tourist
Want to catch Happily Ever After? You can get a great view from the Polynesian Beach with the music! Just park at the Polynesian and head to the beach area outside of the Grand Ceremonial House. There's swings, benches, and beach seating with a great view.
Courtesy of Dad's Guide to WDW
Whether you are staying onsite or offsite, your resort probably has a pool! Take a day to swim at the pool, or play poolside games that your resort has to offer. Just note, as much as we wish it was possible, you can't use a resorts' pool unless you are staying there.
Sadly, animation classes are no longer offered at Disney Quest or Hollywood Studios. But, the Art of Animation resort offers classes three times a day at 1 am, 2 pm, and 5 pm. For more specific times, as the concierge at the resort. These classes are open to the public, not just Disney guests!
Courtesy of Erin Foster
The Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue is a two-hour long dinner show at the Fort Wilderness Campground in Pioneer Hall. Performers put on different skits and songs, and in between you can help yourself to all-you-can-eat fried chicken, BBQ pork ribs, salad, baked beans, cornbread, and strawberry shortcake. And, unlimited beer, wine, and sangria are included for guests 21+!
This dinner show requires a reservation, and it sells out fast. So, be sure to book it 180 days in advance!

Several tours at Walt Disney World do not require theme park admission. Tours are a ton of fun, we've done 6 so far and loved them all! The Wilderness Back Trail Adventure is our favorite, it's a Segway tour through Fort Wilderness Campground.

How the Dow 30 Reacts to Major Events
https://www.dividend.com/dividend-education/how-the-dow-30-reacts-to-major-events/
Shauna O'Brien
Major events, including natural disasters, political happenings and wars, can have a major effect on the stock market. While some events may seem like they would be tragic for the Dow 30, there are many occurrences in which the Dow was not negatively affected. On the flipside, some of these events have contributed to one of the U.S. recessions. Below is a list of major events and their effects on the Dow.
Oklahoma City Bombing: April 19, 1995
Following the bombing of an office building in Oklahoma City, the Dow closed up 0.70%. Despite this major tragedy, the event had no major effect on the Dow 30.
September 11th Attacks: September 11, 2001
When the market re-opened on September 17, the Dow 30 plummeted over 7% – the eighth worst day in history for the Dow. Five days after the market reopened, the Dow was down a total of 15%. This attack contributed to the start of the early 2000s recession. See also 7 Events That Closed the NYSE.
Tsunami in Japan: March 11, 2011
The Dow took a dip when the tragic tsunami hit Japan in 2011, but it was quick to recover. Although the Dow 30 was not majorly affected, this event took a major toll on the Asian markets.
Hurricane Sandy: October 31, 2012
Hurricane Sandy caused the New York Stock Exchange to close for two days – the first time the market closed since 9/11 and the first weather-related closing since Hurricane Gloria in 1985. After the storm ripped through New Jersey and New York, the market was positive, but quickly dipped.
Eisenhower's Heart Attack: September 24, 1955
The Dow plunged after the news of Eisenhower's heart attack. By the following month, there had not been much recovery from the initial decline [see also The Ten Commandments of Dividend Investing].
Assassination of JFK: November 22, 1963
Following the mid-day assassination of John F. Kennedy, the Dow fell almost 3%. Soon after the president was killed, the New York Stock Exchange closed at 2:07 p.m to avoid continued shock to the market.
Resignation of Nixon: August 9, 1974
The day that Richard Nixon became the first U.S. president to resign, the Dow fell 1%. By the beginning of September, the Dow had fallen over 15%.
Attempted Assassination of Ronald Reagan: March 30, 1981
When President Ronald Reagan was shot on March 30, 1981, the stock markets were closed before they were given the opportunity to fall. During the days that followed the attempted assassination, the Dow rose over 7%.
The Dow fell 3.5% the day after the Pearl Harbor attack. The event that sent the U.S. into World War II sent the Dow falling for the next few days after the attack, but it began to rebound by the next month.
The Dow skyrocketed at the beginning on the War, but it took a huge hit in May 1940 when Germany invaded Western Europe. The Dow continued to decline until May 1942 when the Dow hit its WWII all time low.
The Dow's first reaction after the Gulf War began was to rise, but it quickly dipped. In December 1990, the Dow hit its low for the Gulf War, but rose for the rest of the war.
While all of these events were overtly negative, only the day the market re-opened after the 9/11 attacks can be considered one of the 10 worst Dow days since the Great Depression. Major events can spook investors, but the overall market does not take all bad news negatively. For long-term dividend investors it is important to pay attention to major events, but to not be spooked too easily.

Georgia's Senate runoffs, Trump's intransigence keep U.S. political suspense going
The presidential race generated record turnout across the country
There's good news in Georgia for anyone still craving high-stakes U.S. election suspense following Joe Biden's presidential win.
Control of the Senate remains up for grabs: Republican incumbents Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue will both face run-off elections Jan. 5 against Democratic challengers Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff.
"Everyone else has hung up their cleats, but we're still playing," said Charles Bullock, a professor of political science at the University of Georgia in Athens.
Runoffs occur in certain states when candidates fail to reach a prescribed vote threshold — 50 per cent in Georgia.
A run-off was expected in the case of Loeffler, who was appointed to the seat last year to fill a vacancy and was challenged in the special election by fellow Republican Doug Collins, dividing the vote.
At last count, Perdue had a lead of more than 100,000 votes over Ossoff with almost all the votes counted, but remained just below the 50 per cent bar required for outright victory.
The GOP appears poised to claim Alaska and North Carolina, the two other states with Senate seats still up in the air, but would remain one shy of the 51 needed for control of the Senate and the ability to severely hamstring the Biden administration.
A 50-50 draw would effectively hand control to the Democrats, since it will fall to vice-president-elect Kamala Harris to break any ties once she and Biden take office.
The outcome in the Senate, and indeed the composition of Capitol Hill more broadly, is an issue of great interest to Canada's diplomatic corps in Washington, since members of Congress are a vital vector for advancing Canadian interests.
But the election hasn't caused the embassy to break stride, said Kirsten Hillman, Canada's ambassador.
"We are continuing to work on files with the U.S. government all the time," Hillman said in an interview.
"Even last week, while everybody was focused on how the election was turning out both in the White House and in Congress, we were doing business."
VIDEO: Justin Trudeau first leader to talk to U.S. president-elect Joe Biden
While the odds and history would appear to favour the Republicans in Georgia, long a reliably conservative state, 2020 has already thrown its share of curveballs.
In a presidential race that generated record turnout across the country, Biden narrowly carried Georgia, becoming only the third Democrat after Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton to do so in the last half-century.
Having not one but two high-profile races still ongoing in the state could juice turnout in January, a rarity for runoffs. So too could the fact Warnock is vying to become the first Black Democrat to be elected to the Senate from the Deep South.
"In the past, what has happened has been that dropout among African Americans has been greater than among whites, so his presence there may work to the advantage of Democrats," Bullock said.
Loeffler, who has the backing of prominent Republicans like Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, may also face bad blood among Georgia Republicans after her bruising battle with Collins, he added.
"She's got to try to reunite the Republican party," Bullock said. "Sure, Doug has endorsed her, but it may be hard for some of his supporters to forgive her for the kinds of attacks that she launched against Doug."
Biden played down the drama Tuesday, insisting that while a Democratic majority in the Senate would be helpful, it's by no means a deal-breaker.
I am not a pessimist, as you know," he said. "I think we can get a lot done."
On Monday, the family feud in Georgia became even more intriguing when Loeffler and Perdue called for the resignation of Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, also a Republican, accusing him of somehow botching the electoral process.
"That is not going to happen," Raffensperger shot back in a statement. "The voters of Georgia hired me, and the voters will be the ones to fire me."
The election in the state was a "resounding success," he added, with minimal wait times despite record turnout and an unimpeachable counting and reporting process, Any illegal voting will be investigated, he promised, but it's "unlikely" it affected the outcome.
"My job is to follow Georgia law and see to it that all legal votes, and no illegal votes, are counted properly and accurately," he said.
"As a Republican, I am concerned about Republicans keeping the U.S. Senate. I recommend that Sens. Loeffler and Perdue start focusing on that."
Regardless of the outcome in January, it's a safe bet Congress will pose a challenge to the Biden administration, despite the former senator's relationship with Republican leader McConnell, Bullock said.
"It's going to be frustrating for the progressives that the strides they would like to see taken on the environment or whatever else simply aren't going to happen," he said.
"There's talk that it may boil down to negotiation between the president and Mitch McConnell … but again, that would also be the case if there were 51 Democrats."

Rosters are set for high school baseball Senior games
By Sports editor Brian Hoffman
The rosters have been set for the high school baseball "Seniors Games" scheduled for August 1 at Salem Memorial Ballpark.
At total of 62 high school senior baseball players from the class of 2020 have signed up to compete. Players are from the area served by the Salem-Roanoke Baseball Hall of Fame and 20 schools will be represented by one or more players.
The four teams were divided into two teams with 15 players and two with 16 players. Team 1 will play Team 2 at 3 pm, and upon conclusion all 62 players and their parents or escorts will be introduced on the field and a photo of the player will be on the big video screen in rightfield. Then Team 3 will play Team 4 in the second game. Both games are scheduled for nine innings to give all participants ample playing time.
William Byrd will have six players on Team 2. Representing the Terriers will be Ethan Spraker, Logan Baker, Jacob Johnson, Nathan Sullivan, Nate Hayes and Jacob Brammer.
Ethan Spraker
Also on the Team 2 roster will be five boys from Staunton River, two from Eastern Montgomery, two from Radford and one from Cave Spring. Team 2 has seven pitchers and one catcher.
Both Botetourt County teams will be included on Team 1, with five from James River and three from Lord Botetourt. Team 1 also has three from Franklin County, three from Alleghany and one from Patrick Henry. The team has seven pitchers and two catchers.
Team 3 will have six players from Hidden Valley and four from Blacksburg High. Christiansburg and North Cross will have two each and William Fleming will have one.
Team 4 will consist of nine players from Salem, two from Glenvar, three from Northside and one each from Auburn and Craig County. The team has eight pitchers and one catcher.
The teams will have shirts with their numbers on the back and each team will be a different color. The Sox have designed a unique logo for the front of the shirts.
Coaches for each team will come from the schools represented by the players.

Max Planck Institutes
MPI for Evolutionary Anthropology
The Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology focuses on matters regarding the origins of humankind. The Institute's researchers study widely-differing aspects of human evolution. They analyse the genes, cultures and cognitive abilities of people living today and compare them with those of apes and extinct peoples. Scientists from various disciplines work closely together at the Institute: Geneticists trace the genetic make-up of extinct species, such as Neanderthals. Behaviourists and ecologists, for their part, study the behaviour of apes and other mammals.

Academic freedom – a never-ending story
MaxPlanckResearch 3/2019
To a very large degree, academic freedom as we know it today is based on the way it was conceived in Germany during the 19th century. At that time, it was not only professors who were in a position to make independent decisions about their research topics; students, too, enjoyed freedoms that seem incredible from today's perspective. Lorraine Daston from the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science in Berlin has studied the development of academic freedom and its limitations.
What makes humans human? How and when did we become what we are today? How did our ancestors live? These questions are of great interest to a lot of people. The scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology use different methods to investigate them systematically. One of these methods involves extracting DNA from human fossils. Using a new procedure, Svante Pääbo and his team can isolate and sequence ancient genetic material from just a few grams of bone powder, allowing them to compare the genomes of different prehistoric humans with one another and with people living today.
The Upside of Sharing
MaxPlanckResearch 4/2013 Culture & Society
"Mine!" This all-too-familiar children's cry can drive parents to distraction. Nevertheless, Michael Tomasello from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig firmly believes that – unlike our nearest animal relatives, the great apes, who largely lack the capacity for collaboration – children are naturally cooperative and helpful.
Meet the Neanderthals
MPR 3 /2010 Biology & Medicine
Neanderthals mated with modern humans! This revelation generated great excitement among the media, but it's old news for anthropologists. They are more interested in the genome of our closest relative.
My Dog Can Do It!
MPR 1 /2010
As far as cognitive scientists are concerned, the children's game "I spy with my little eye" is anything but child's play. It is based on the assumption that the person whose turn it is can imagine what the other players are able to see – or not. But do dogs and apes, for instance, also share this ability? At the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, scientists study social cognition factors in different species.

A Neanderthal-Denisovan "Intermarriage"
2018 Slon, Viviane; Pääbo, Svante
Behavioural Biology Cognitive Science Developmental Biology Evolutionary Biology Genetics
In prehistoric times, two distinct groups of hominins inhabited Eurasia: Neanderthals in the west and Denisovans in the east. We sequenced the genome of an approximately 90,000-year-old female individual from Russia and discovered that she had a Neanderthal mother and a Denisovan father. This shows that individuals from these two groups occasionally mixed. Together with previous evidence that Neanderthals and Denisovans mixed with early modern humans, this shows that throughout history, humans from different groups have always mixed.
The first of our kind
2017 Gunz, Philipp
New finds of fossils and stone tools from Jebel Irhoud (Morocco) document the origin of our species by about 300,000 years ago in Africa. These fossils are more than 100,000 years older than the previous oldest finds and document important biological and behavioural changes in an early evolutionary phase of Homo sapiens.
Social determinants of human communication
2016 Bohn, Manuel; Stöber, Gregor
Behavioural Biology Cognitive Science
Like no other medium, language transports meaning in interactions. Recent studies highlight (1) how meaning is constituted through shared social experience in interactions with preverbal infants, (2) that different social contexts can modify the meaning of gestures in the second year of life, and (3) that young children can establish meaning in original ways when encountering cooperative contexts that limit the use of linguistic communication.
Genetic adaptation to levels of dietary selenium in recent human history
2015 White, Louise; Castellano, Sergi
Developmental Biology Evolutionary Biology Genetics
The micronutrient selenium is an essential part of the human diet. As humans migrated out of Africa about 60,000 years ago they came to settle in environments with vastly differing selenium levels. Researchers of the Department of Evolutionary Genetics at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology have found evidence that human populations who live in regions that provide insufficient dietary selenium show signals of adaptation in the genes that use or regulate selenium.
The evolution of the human brain
The evolution of the human lineage is tightly linked to the evolution of the brain. To better understand the evolutionary changes in brain development, researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology compare the cranial bones of recent modern humans to those of our closest living and fossil relatives.

The sight of bread and pizza makes us realize that edible flour has a very elastic consistency, binding quality and a chewy texture. This unique glue like property of wheat is due to its protein content called gluten. Gluten is a protein which is formed by bonding of two molecules – gliadin and glutenin. The presence of these two molecules is limited to only certain cereals like wheat, rye, barley, oats, etc. Gluten is a source of protein, both in foods prepared directly from sources containing it, and as an additive to foods otherwise low in protein.
Gluten related disorders initially appeared as a result of dietary changes associated with the development of the agriculture and gluten containing cereal cultivation. This led to chronic enteropathy i.e. disease of intestine especially affecting the small intestine, caused by an abnormal immune response to cereal gluten proteins and gave rise to gluten related disorders.
Gluten intolerance refers to all conditions resulting from the ingestion of gluten. It includes celiac disease, gluten intolerance or sensitivity.
Gluten related disorders have shown a tremendous increase in the last 10 years. According to Mayo clinic research, celiac disease is now becoming a major public health problem. Approximately, one out of hundred people are suffering from gluten related disorders these days.
Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that occurs in genetically predisposed people. When people eat foods that contain gluten, an immune response is triggered that causes damage to hair like projections present in the lining of the small intestine known as villi. As a result, damage occurs to the small intestine and affects the absorption of various nutrients from food. In other words, it is a hereditary disease that runs in the family. It can occur at any age. It is also known as coeliac disease, celiac sprue, non-tropical sprue, and gluten sensitive enteropathy. Common symptoms of celiac disease vary among people and include fatigue, headache, and gastrointestinal distress including gas, bloating, diarrhoea and weight loss.
Gluten sensitivity is prevalent among population but it is different from celiac disease. It is not an autoimmune disease and is defined as a condition that causes a person's body to react after ingesting gluten. It is also known as non-celiac gluten sensitivity. In this condition, the body generally shows gastrointestinal symptoms like bloating, gas, diarrhea, joint pains, fatigue and depression, the same symptoms as seen in celiac disease but it doesn't lead to intestinal tissue damage, intestinal inflammation and flattening of the absorbing villi in the small intestine.
Gluten intolerance leads to varying degree of mal absorption. Therefore, it is very important to remove the source of gluten from the diet for the treatment. This will help to revitalize the small intestine.
Most of us think of gluten in the form of wheat and bread. However, gluten is also found in barley and rye. Hence all products made from these grains contain gluten and this includes biscuits, breads, burger buns, pizza bases, pasta, cereals, cakes and other bakery items.
Grains: Corn (corn flour, corn flakes etc), rice (white, brown, basmati and rice flour), buckwheat, millet, quinoa, sorghum and soy.
Dairy products: Milk, curd, buttermilk, cottage cheese, cheddar cheese and margarine.
Pulses & legumes: All whole lentils/ pulses like chickpea, kidney beans, soy, green gram, cow pea, etc. and their flours.
Nuts & oilseeds: Cashews, almonds, walnuts, pistachios and raisins.
Spices & condiments: Pure chili, turmeric and coriander powder.
Fats & oils: Cooking oils, butter, margarine etc.
Non veg: Chicken, fish or seafood, meat and egg.
Vegetables and fruits: Plain freshly cut fruits and vegetables.
Rye: It is considered as an excellent raw material for new types of functional foods and is used to coat or flour meat, poultry, seafood and vegetables. These foods may also be marinated in gluten containing liquid or sauce. It is also used to make alcoholic products. Rye may be a component in breads or various ready to eat foods.
Barley: It is available as flour and also as a component of various products. Processed form of this grain is used as a component of consumer products in the form of thickeners, binders or extenders examples are soups, bread and cereals.
Oats: Various studies have shown that oats are safe for celiac patients but few patients may still be sensitive to oats. Sometimes oats are produced in the same place as wheat, barley and rye and mixing of flours may happen with oats. Pure uncontaminated oats which are labeled as 100% pure oats may be better option for them.
Food that is gluten free by composition.
Food that has become gluten free through special processing.
Reduced gluten content, food which includes food products with between 20 and 100 ppm of gluten.
Also read carefully about ingredients with wheat which includes wheat starch, modified wheat starch, and hydrolyzed wheat protein barley and malt. It's better to avoid these products as they are usually made from barley, malt syrup, malt extract, malt flavoring and malt vinegar.

Q: How do I get jQuery lists to persist data to the database in rails? I want to create a series of questions with jQuery, maybe jQuery mobile.  For each question I want it to have two answers. I want the list of questions to appear on the same page.
Maybe something like this...
(Question here)

    <fieldset data-role="controlgroup" data-type="horizontal" data-mini="true">
        <legend>Yes or No</legend>
        <input type="radio" name="radio-orientation" id="isVertical" value="isVertical" checked="checked">
        Yes
        <input type="radio" name="radio-orientation" id="isHorizontal" value="isHorizontal">
        No
    </fieldset>

I can't seem to find any information on linking the button to the user.
So when the user picks one of the buttons, I want to store their choice into the "choice" attribute of their quiz.
I don't want anyone to write code for me I just need a general idea on how to get a jQuery button click to put the user's choice in the database. For each question.

A: You can tackle the above problem using many different ways but, I will list an approach down below.
You can create 2 models.

*

*model to store the tempdata

*model to store the actual data after the form is submitted.

When the form is submitted you should delete the record from the tempdata model.
As the user is filling out the form you can utilize the jquery autosave plugin to send data to the tempdata model.
Using the above approach if the user is filling out a long form or a series of questions they will have the ability to resume where they left off if something were to happen(lost internet connection, etc).
As for linking a user to a specific question... You will need to think about how you are going to design your models. For example I would have a user model, question model and a answers model. In your case the question model would have a user_id attribute (foreign key) which allows you to link a specific question to a specific user. Check out this nested forms tutorial from railscast for a better explanation.
Hope this helps!

Hanukkah Books that are Actually for Jewish kids
Hanukkah's coming! And here begins my annual hunt for a Hanukkah book that's written for Jewish children. See, many, many Hanukkah books are actually written for non-Jews, to explain this crazy holiday. Jewish children don't need to be told what a menorah or latke is. They know. They want stories about crazy Hanukkah hijinks and there just aren't that many. (Also, you really don't need *that* many books about the miracle of the oil.) Here are a few of my favorites:
The Borrowed Hanukkah Latkes by Linda Glaser, illustrated by Nancy Cote
As the Hanukkah party guest list keeps growing, Rachel's mom keeps sending her next door to borrow more latke ingredients, chairs, and other necessary items. Rachel keeps inviting Mrs. Greenberg to come to the party, but she just won't come! How can Rachel help spread the Hanukkah joy?
The Chanukkah Guest by Eric A. Kimmel, illustrated by Giora Carmi
I love this hilarious tale about a Bubba who thinks she's inviting the rabbi in to eat her latkes, only to discover she's fed them all to a hungry bear! (Sadly out-of-print)
The Ugly Menorah written and illustrated by Marissa Moss
Rachel doesn't understand why her grandmother insists on using her ugly, old menorah. But then grandma tells her how, when she and Rachels recently-passed grandpa were first married, they didn't have money to buy a menorah and so grandpa made the old, ugly, one. (Also sadly out-of-print)
Biscuit's Hanukkah by Alissa Capucilli, illustrated by Pat Schories
Mostly because I get excited to find a series character who's obligatory holiday book is about Hanukkah, not Christmas.
Which ones would you add?
Labels: #weneeddiversebooks, book lists, Hanukkah, picture books
Committee member Yapha recommends Herschel and the Hanukkah Goblins by Eric Kimmel and Arthur Yorink's Flying Latke!
ooo thanks!
Angie Manfredi said...
Love this post, Jen. And though you didn't explicitly mention it, it's more back-up on why holiday programming is problematic. (maybe Jewish kids don't want/need a "basic" Hannukkah storytime where you say, "What's a latke?!" and maybe you, as a non-Jewish librarian, shouldn't be presenting it just because you "think" you should.)
I like some of the titles from Kar-Ben. http://www.karben.com/Hanukkah_c_55.html they're great for Jewish titles in general. Oh! And HANNUKAH BEAR is back in print with an awesome new set of illustrations: http://www.holidayhouse.com/title_display.php?ISBN=9780823428557
Angie--
AW YEAH, HANUKKAH BEAR! That makes me happy.
I love Kar-Ben in general, but don't have a lot of first-hand knowledge of their Hanukkah books.
I've stayed out of the holiday programming debate because my feelings are way too muddled (and guilty because I'm in the middle of a Christmas movie series) but one comment I'll say is that so often it's not that the Hanukkah portion is basic, but that it's religious. It's a religious holiday, so explaining it is religious. Unless the Christmas story you're reading is about Jesus, the Hanukkah story needs to not be about the Miracle of the Oil, you know?

The Return Of The Police: Sting, Summers And Copeland Are Back!


NCOSP shares the action plan they developed to assist district teams in planning professional development for the upcoming school year.
"During planning sessions District Teams will carefully consider how they can strategically apply their knowledge and skills within their district context. District teams will be supported in a data-driven planning process to align proposed activities with real, verifiable problems that Teacher Leaders have the potential to influence. The product of these planning sessions will become your roadmap for your own professional development, as well as the professional development you will support in your building and district next year. Every district and every Teacher Leader will have a slightly different plan based on their unique knowledge, skills, and context. Nonetheless, each will have a plan that indicates what roles and responsibilities they will embrace."

On Oct. 29, Ohio State welcomed Holly Drake into the newly created position of Chief Privacy Officer. Data privacy needs are increasingly far reaching, spanning the worlds of both regulation and data ethics. In this new role, Drake will have a dual reporting relationship to both Chief Information Security Officer in Enterprise Security Helen Patton and Gates Garrity-Rokous, Vice President and Chief Compliance Officer for the Office of University Compliance and Integrity.
In hiring Drake, Ohio State is pleased to have secured a seasoned privacy professional with proven experience building privacy programs in her two most recent professional roles at State Auto Insurance and Nationwide Insurance. An Ohio State alum, Drake was an obvious choice for helping Ohio State build its existing privacy activities into a more robust and comprehensive program.
In her 18 years as privacy professional, Holly Drake has successfully created privacy programs across a broad range of critical areas, including litigation and regulatory compliance. She has a proven record of accomplishment delivering risk mitigation using pragmatic approaches. She also has a technology background that gives her a unique insight into how information security best practices relate to privacy.
The focus on privacy has grown in recent years. For example, the EU launched one of the most comprehensive body of regulations so far when it enacted General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR ) last spring. Not only does the university need to respond to government regulations to assure data privacy, but it also must be positioned to satisfy our stakeholder requests for definitive privacy practices.
Drake will work in Mount Hall, to ensure a close alignment with the Enterprise Security team as policies are developed and processes put in place. For more information on current privacy efforts, visit cybersecurity.osu.edu to learn about how we adhere to privacy regulations and read our interim policy outlining our current approach to GDPR.

Hospital Nursing Staff Shortages and Overextended Shifts Can Kill
Staff shortages and overextended shifts for nurses are a nationwide issue, according to National Nurses United, the nation's largest union representing registered nurses, with nearly 185,000 members throughout the country. "Chronic understaffing is rampant throughout hospitals around the country," said Bonnie Castillo, the union's government relations director. "It is probably the single biggest issue facing nurses nowadays, and it's not only affecting nurses, but patient health as well."
Hospitals choosing to understaff and overwork their nursing staffs risk the health of nurses and patients alike. Recently, the husband of an Ohio nurse who was killed in a car accident while driving home after a 12-hour shift, filed a wrongful death lawsuit, alleging that from 2011 to the time of her death, his wife's unit at the Jewish Hospital in Cincinnati was "regularly understaffed," causing some nurses, including his wife, to work through breaks and pick up additional shifts.
While the nurses themselves may be exercising a choice to work longer and harder hours, patients do not enjoy the choice of who their nurses are, or what their state of readiness or exhaustion may be. Nursing understaffing and exhaustion is dangerous, especially to patients!
If you or a loved one has been injured during a Chicago hospital stay, you may be able to take action. Please contact the attorneys of Lane & Lane, LLC, or call us at 312-332-1400 to speak with us about your options. We can help.

We have been slacking on the blog for the last few years due to the convenience of Facebook, but I am going to get back into the swing of things soon!
Well, the day I have been dreading for 5 1/2 years is finally here. I am sure its only the first of many milestones, but it starts with this one. Skyler was excited this morning with "Mommy, when do we go to school?" being the first thing out of her mouth. We got dressed, relaxed with oatmeal and a TV show, then it was time for a picture before we loaded in the car.
When we pulled in she was all smiles, and we made our way to her classroom. I got a little teary eyed, and noticed a few other parents as well. Some lingered longer, but I knew I needed to leave eventually so I decided on one more picture.
I went in, gave her a kiss, and asked if she was nervous or excited. She said excited, but the apprehension was on her face. I snapped a picture of her before waving bye and leaving, it was easy with her being in the first chair by the door. I went out in the hall and talked to Ryun, thinking, "I did it! I didn't loose it!" THEN.......I saw my friend Lisa, who had just dropped her daughter off for the first time at school.......and out came the tears! After a minute I had calmed down, and was ok. We went and had donuts and OJ at the "Boo-Hoo Breakfast", then we left. I have thought about her all day today, when she was having lunch (complete with "I Love you Skyler, Mommy" napkin), quiet time, playtime, and now as she rounds out the last hour of her day. She will get on a bus and I will be picking her up at 4:02, just around the corner. Then it will be dinner out at Friendly's, as per family tradition.


Hello, everyone — long time no blog. Apologies for my blogosphere absence; I have been lacking in motivation recently, still a bit burnt out from last fall's DELTA course (I passed all three modules on the first go, thank goodness). I've also been wondering what the point is of re-blogging recipes that I haven't changed all that much. And, if I do continue blogging, in which direction I'd like this blog to go. More musical? More sporty? More education-related? I'd love to hear what you enjoy most about my blog, so please leave a comment and let me know what you'd like to see more of.
Parmesan Broth with Kale, White Beans, & Tortellini (smitten kitchen). F and I collected parmesan rinds in the freezer for an entire year before we had enough to make Deb's soup. It was worth the wait — umami-salty, warming, and satisfying. We added tortellini for some extra heft.
Miso-Coconut Chicken Soup (i am a food blog). I made this one way back in September. Unfortunately, F was sick that weekend so I ended up eating most of it myself, but I loved it and look forward to making it again at a time when we can both enjoy it. Creamy but not too rich, great over rice.
The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies (i am a food blog). These. are. SO. good. Crispy edges, moist and chewy insides. F dubbed them "maybe the best cookies I've ever had." Now that's saying something! Use whatever chocolate you want (I used extra dark) and don't leave off the sprinkling of sea salt on top. I passed this recipe onto J, whose family devoured them in no time.
Double Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins (Cookie + Kate). In my mind, it is hard to beat the combination of lemon and poppy seeds. Let's be honest, lemon–anything is pretty great. I had combined lemon and poppy seeds before in pancakes but not in muffins. This recipe presented great flavors, although the muffins were a teensy bit dry for me.
Lemon Cornmeal Cake with Lemon Glaze (Bon Appétit). F was away last weekend and I wanted to surprise him with something tasty upon his return home. He loves lemon cake, so I tried out this one, which had been sitting in my "make this" bookmarks for ages. It was fantastic, remaining moist for a couple of days. I took a bunch to work and four of us devoured it pretty quickly. F's only comment was that it could be even more lemony, so next time I'll use the zest of 2 lemons in the cake batter.
Of course, those aren't the only things I've been cooking. We've done many of the usual dinner rotations, like pizza and roasted root vegetables and various stir fries. I reprised chocolate beet cake for dinner with friends last month — this time adding a tasty pink cream cheese frosting — and whipped up an apple dutch baby pancake for a Sunday brunch.
What have you been cooking up recently?

Resia (resianisch Reśija, ) ist eine zweisprachige Gemeinde mit  Einwohnern (Stand ) im Resiatal (resianisch Rośajanska dulïna; fälschlich auch Résiatal) in der Region Friaul-Julisch Venetien. Das Gebirgstal, welches wie auch die Gemeinde nach dem Torrente Resia benannt ist, befindet sich in den westlichen Julischen Alpen, den sogenannten Julischen Voralpen. Der Sitz der Gemeinde befindet sich in der Fraktion Prato di Resia (Ravanzä). Auf dem Weg nach Prato di Resia passiert man San Giorgo (Bilä), einen der vier Hauptorte des Tales, auf einer natürlichen Terrasse in mittlerer Höhe über der Resia gelegen. Das obere Ucceatal mit der Fraktion Uccea (Učja) gehört ebenfalls zur Gemeinde Resia.

 Gniva/Njïwa
 Oseacco/Osoanë

 San Giorgio/Bilä
 Stolvizza/Solbiza (Dorf der arrotini, der Scherenschleifer)
 Uccea/Učja

Nachbargemeinden

Ethnische Besonderheit
Im Resiatal leben etwa 800 Menschen, die slawischer Herkunft sind. Die Einwohner leiten den Namen "Resianer" von "Russen" ab. Ihr Dialekt Resianisch hat jedoch gemeinsame Wurzeln mit den slowenischen Dialekten Kärntens, lehnte sich aber später, nachdem die sprachliche Verbindung zum Kanaltal durch friulanische und deutsche Kolonisation unterbrochen wurde, an die Küstendialekte (primorsko) des Slowenischen an.

Vom Resiatal führt ein Fahrweg über den Carnizzasattel ins Ucceatal, das ebenfalls von Resianern besiedelt ist, und weiter nach Zaga im Sočatal sowie nach Slowenien.

Musik und Tanz
Durch die isolierte Lage bildeten bzw. hielten sich im Resiatal sehr eigenständige musikalische Traditionen: von Bedeutung sind vor allem die Tanzmelodien mit ihrem geringen Tonumfang und häufigen metrischen Unregelmäßigkeiten, gespielt meist im Wechsel zwischen zwei quintverwandten Tonarten. Gängige Besetzung sind zwei (seltener nur eine) Geigen ("Citira"), die die Melodien unisono spielen, sowie ein dreisaitiges Cello ("Bunkula"), das als Bassinstrument eine einfache Bordunbegleitung beisteuert. Besonders in der Karnevalszeit sowie am 15. August (Mariä Himmelfahrt) sind diese Traditionen nach wie vor lebendig. Wegen ihrer Besonderheiten und des mutmaßlich hohen Alters haben Tanzmusik und Lieder aus Resia eine herausragende Bedeutung im Repertoire des Folkrevivals in Slowenien und im Friaul bekommen (Gruppen wie Katice oder La Sedon Salvadie).

Sehenswürdigkeiten
 Scherenschleifer Museum in Stolvizza.
 Am Ortseingang weist das Denkmal, auf dem ein Scherenschleifer auf seinem Fahrrad sitzt, hin.
 Einmal im Jahr treffen sich die in alle Welt verstreuten Schleifer bzw. deren Nachkommen beim großen Dorffest in Stolvizza.
 Direkt neben der Kirche ist ein sehenswertes multimediales Volkskundemuseum untergebracht.

Should you find yourself near Atlanta on a lazy spring afternoon lounging beneath the shade of a loblolly pine, don't be surprised if you look up into the branches to see someone standing there. It's probably Peter Jenkins, also known as "Treeman," and he's probably tree surfing. No, I didn't make that up. But yes. Jenkins did.
Jenkins isn't your normal tree-hugging type. The father of recreational tree climbing, he's embraced every aspect of tree climbing, from the biology of trees to the science of removing them. This love took root at an early age. Free time as a youth was largely spent in the boughs of a hackberry tree outside his home in Dallas, Texas.
Jenkins carried that love of heights with him when he left the Midwest for Estes Park, Colo., where he spent his summers rock climbing out West. When he moved east to Atlanta (a "very safe place for hippies" in the '70s, according to Jenkins), the novelty of rock climbing wore off and was replaced with that childhood yearning to be one with the trees.
But in the late '70s and early '80s, nobody was climbing trees for fun, at least not adults. In fact, recreational tree climbing as it exists today wasn't even a thing back then. Jenkins didn't let that stop him. He became an arborist in 1979, professionally working on trees for 25 years to support his passion for introducing others to the world of tree climbing.
In 1983, he bought a plot of land outside of Atlanta. It was home to two great white oaks, which Jenkins would later name Nimrod and Dianna, and it was here that Jenkins finally got the sign he was looking for, the "message from the other world" he needed to begin developing recreational tree climbing. That message came in the form of thundersnow.
The view was so serenely beautiful that Jenkins started thinking about what it would have been like had there been somebody else up in the tree to share the moment with. All of a sudden, everything flashed bright white followed by the rumble of thunder in the distance.
As Jenkins walked away from the tree, he again thought back to what it would have been like to share that experience with someone else, and again, a clap of thundersnow struck nearby. For Jenkins, that was all the affirmation he needed. Tree Climbers International (TCI) was born not long after.
Now, over three decades later, you'd be hard-pressed to meet a tree climber in the Southeast (or anywhere in the world for that matter) who didn't get trained under Jenkins' guidance. He's created safety standards, a training video, recreational and tree worker programs, even reading material on all-things tree climbing. He's climbed trees all over, setting a personal record by scaling a 357-foot-high coastal redwood nearly three times the size of most white oaks in the East.
For Jenkins, learning to understand the trees is something he strives to instill in every student and client who comes under his guidance.
All outdoor sports come with an inherent risk, but recreational tree climbing—as taught by TCI— has not seen a single serious injury or death worldwide in its 32 years of existence.
Does tree climbing damage the tree?
No. Jenkins' standards for tree climbing do not involve the use of bolts, anchors, or crampons of any type. The process of ascending and descending trees utilizes a rope, a Blake's hitch, and a cambium saver, a leather sleeve that not only protects the branch and rope but also allows for the rope to slide smoothly over the bark.
Where can I climb in the South?
