Lina Dorina Johanna Eckenstein (23 September 1857 – 4 May 1931) was a British polymath and historian who was acknowledged as a philosopher and scholar in the women's movement.

Life
Eckenstein's father was a Jewish socialist from Bonn who had fled Germany following the failed revolution of 1848. Eckenstein was born in Islington, London, in 1857; the highly independent mountaineer Oscar Eckenstein was her younger brother. Eckenstein had a large range of languages which she is thought to have obtained at some educational facility in Switzerland or Germany.

She came to notice after joining a club started by the mathematician (and in time eugenicist) Karl Pearson which allowed middle-class radicals to talk about sex. The club, called the Men and Women's Club, operated during the late 1880s. Eckenstein was seen as a "new woman" and she presented studies she had made of the sexual relations of the Romans and of Swiss men and women during the Reformation. The club discussed feminist and liberal issues including ending any state legal interference in prostitution and whether motherhood should be reimbursed. Karl and Maria Pearson and their children, Sigrid, Helga, and Egon, were to permanently remain as Eckenstein's friends.

Scholar
She supported herself financially with conducting research, proofreading, teaching, and translation. She undertook significant work on Albrecht Dürer for Pearson's friend Martin Conway for which she was credited on the title page of his book. Eckenstein's family were German, but she also knew French and Italian, Middle High German, Middle English, and classical and medieval Latin and European history. This scholarly achievement made her overqualified to be a governess, but she became the governess to Margery Corbett. In 1896 she published Woman Under Monasticism: Chapters on Saint-Lore and Convent Life between A.D. 500 and A.D. 1500, which she dedicated to Karl and Maria Pearson. This work drew a large number of sources together, some that she translated, to argue that many of the aspirations that women sought in the twentieth century were in some ways achieved by women in religious institutions a thousand years before. She describes the rebellion of the nuns at Poitiers after the death of Radegund. For two years the nuns refused to accept a new abbess who had been appointed by the male Catholic hierarchy. Eckenstein's work is credited with recovering Caritas Pirckheimer from historic obscurity. This work is thought to be the most scholarly of her publications despite the inclusion of some doubtful or mythical German history. It was read by the late nineteenth century English novelist George Gissing in July 1896.

Traveller
In 1902 she walked through the upper Arno valley and published an account of her travels. The following year she began a new escapade, working with the archaeologists Hilda and Flinders Petrie in Egypt. She took on the administrative role of running the excavations camp and ensuring that finds were catalogued correctly. She worked at excavations at Abydos, Saqqara, Serabit el-Khadim, and El Shatt. At the temple of King Seti, she made a connection between some Egyptian art and a child's nursery rhyme. She was so intrigued by the connection between the 3,000-year-old cult picture and the story of the death of Cock Robin that she published a comparative study of nursery rhymes in 1906. In 1921 she published A History of Sinai which drew on her work with the Petries, tracing the history of the area back to before the Egyptians. Eckenstein was well-qualified to publish books on the Sinai, as she had trekked across it by camel with Hilda Petrie (c.1905) and a single guide. She published several other books that mixed fact with imagination. One of her books published in 1924, Tutankh-aten, was about the imagined childhood of Moses.

From 1908 she became more involved in the campaign to improve women's rights. As part of this, she was supporting her previous pupil, and now friend, Margery Corbett in Geneva in 1920. Margery was the secretary of the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies. They both attended the International Women's Suffrage Alliance congress, where Eckenstein ensured that the proceedings were available in a variety of European languages.

She died on 4 May 1931 from exhaustion and chronic cystitis at Little Hampden, Great Missenden, Buckinghamshire.

Legacy
After her death two further books were published: A Spell of Words in 1932 and The Women of Early Christianity in 1935. The former was dedicated to Sigrid, Helga and Egon Pearson, and argues that there are common roots for Indo-European culture.

» All those involved happy as contract disputes come to an end
All those involved happy as contract disputes come to an end
On Behalf of Burkhalter Kessler Clement & George LLP | Aug 17, 2017 | Contract Disputes |
California parents are hopping on the back-to-school bandwagon along with thousands of other parents in the nation. Contract disputes between faculty and administrators in another state nearly continued into the start of the upcoming year. Thankfully, the situation has come to a peaceful end with all involved reportedly satisfied with the outcome.
The situation involved teachers who worked throughout the 2016-2017 school year with no contract. They've been arguing with administrators over certain core issues and until now, were unable to achieve an agreeable solution to their contract problems. Administrators didn't seem to want to budge where time off for religious holidays and family leaves are concerned. These were but two of several other key factors impeding a new agreement.
After 18 months of fighting, sometimes publicly, the teachers' union and school officials have forged a brand new three-year contract. A school committee chairman said everyone is relieved that the contract-related problems will not pose a hindrance to the start of a new school year. Another facet of the new deal that many seem happy with is the fact that it's retroactive to July 1, 2016.
Undoubtedly, experienced representation played a crucial role in obtaining a long-awaited outcome to the contract disputes that had raged for so long. Many California residents who have successfully overcome similar problems in the past understand how important securing experienced legal assistance can be in such circumstances. In this particular instance, many parents will likely be glad to know that all their school shopping was not in vain as there will indeed still be teachers behind the desks at their children's school.

5th Doctor - The Boy That Time Forgot
Serial 6C/L – The One That Fandom Forgets
An Alternate Programme Guide by Ewen Campion-Clarke
An Extract From The EC Unauthorized Programme Guide O' Shame
Serial 6C/L – The One That Fandom Forgets -
-------------Transcriber's Note-------------
Due to the fact that every single person who actually heard this story immediately destroyed their copy of the CD and went to the nearest retailer and destroyed all the others on offer COUPLED with the complete refusal of any fan to discuss the contents of the story, it is impossible to get an official synopsis or listen to the damn story. And you know what? This is a GOOD thing.
With Thomas Brewster having stolen the TARDIS, the Doctor and Nyssa are marooned in Victorian England. Thinking quickly, the Doctor reveals he has the secret of time travel tattooed on his left buttock in binary, so after dropping his trousers and shouting "100110101110101" a lot, both he and Nyssa vanish into the infinite corridors of time.
They then reappear on an island in the South Pacific in 2007. This was where the Doctor met his companion Angus "Gus" Goodman, an American fighter pilot from a universe where the Second World War lasted well into the 1960s. However, Gus died in a shootout, taking no less than six plasma bolts meant for the Doctor – a moment that has truly scarred the Time Lord's soul.
Thus, he is slightly surprised to discover Gus is alive and has been on the island ever since. He is now an incredibly senile and decrepit old man who keeps pet scorpions for company. Gus now believes he is in fact, a giant spider called Trevor. He then clubs the Doctor unconscious and beats Nyssa up before trying to rape her, foiled at the last possible moment only by octogenarian impotence.
Desperately, the Doctor hits Gus over the head with a spade and miraculously restores Gus' sanity and morality... about two seconds before the TARDIS materializes in mid air and falls onto Gus' head, crushing his skull like a cantaloupe.
The Doctor and Nyssa enter the TARDIS and find Thomas Brewster trying to cut the console in half with a hacksaw. They all laugh like the end of a Police Academy movie.

WHAT DO YOU FUCKING RECKON?!!?
Gus' French Foreign Legion hat, bright pink thong and JST-cast-off incredibly-starched tropical shirt
"The Universe is fashioned out of raw probability and the numbers run very deeply into the fabric of reality, so by altering the numbers, they can alter reality. But enough of this, Doctor. Would you like to play with Beatrice? She's my favorite!"
The Fifth Doctor's DWM comic strip adventures occurred during the "Autumn Years" section of Interesting Times (Serial 6C/H), but then we all knew that anyway, didn't we?
Those self same DWM comic strip adventures. Duh.
A pdf. of "The Time of Tides" compilation of those very DWM comic strips allowing you see the character of Gus before Magrs and Briggs pissed all over it. What joy.
Gus: YOU TRAITOR! I've waited fifty years to get my revenge!!!
Doctor: For what?? I never betrayed you!
Gus: DON'T SPOIL MY VENDETTA WITH FACTS!!
Gus: I've been so lonely here! The scorpions worship me and bring me everything I needs, but there's no sex! KISS ME, NYSSA!
Nyssa: No fucking way! Don't touch me you freak!
Gus: Don't mind me, I was just joking. No harm done. I've been apart from real people for so long that my social skills are a little rusty. I NEED YOU TO LOVE ME! YOU ARE MY BRIDE!
Nyssa: No I'm not!
Gus: Fine! I don't object to sex before marriage, in fact I'm into that! Consent is SO yesterday! MY WILLY IS LAW!
Doctor: Gus used to be one of my best friends.
Nyssa: Yes... I still don't understand WHY.
Doctor: He's my guilty secret. The one I failed to save.
Nyssa: What about Adric?
Doctor: Who? Oh yeah. Him. He's one of the two I failed to save. And Liz. And Sara. And Katarina. I didn't do very well with Robert either, come to think of it. No, wait he's the one I failed to save I actually gave a tafelshrew's bollocks about. Get it?
Nyssa: Got it.
Doctor: Good.
Gus: You can't do this to me!
Nyssa: Yes we can!
Gus: Fuck!
Nyssa: God, I hate the Victorians! Bunch of control freaks pretending to be civilized as they enslave and exploit the rest of the world, making wars and creating inequality...
Doctor: But you've GOT to love the fashion!

"Are you fucking kidding me? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!? That is the stupidest idea ever! What is the point of killing off a character, bringing him back to life, and KILLING HIM again! It's a complete waste of character development... and it makes no sense! WHAT IS THE FUCKING POINT! You think if those fuckers were going to bring him back they'd do something about the whole parallel universe plotline!"

"The Big Finish equivalent of Robert Mugabe. Or maybe a Touchwood episode by Phil Ford." - Nigel Verkoff (2009)
"I have subscribed to Big Finish since the very beginning. This is how my loyalty is repaid?... bastards."
"I had a vain hope we were just 'previewed' a rough unfinished version of the story that was leaked. So far the story has been delayed for release on both CD and download and this could be just Big Finish's elaborate scheme to flush a mole out who's been posting these stories on torrent sites. After all, Big Finish has expressed concerns to those that download these stories... GOD! I LISTENED THROUGH THE WHOLE THING AND IT WAS JUST **SO** PAINFUL TO LISTEN TO IT THAT I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE IT! Big Finish must have LOST THEIR MINDS TOTALLY to produce this HORRIBLE FAN-FIC!!" - Chris Hale (2008)
"In a word – brilliant. Quite simply I thought that was the most gloriously entertaining 100 minutes BF have produced in ages. I loved absolutely every last minute of it Loved it. Loved it. Loved it. Best play of the year, a work of sheer genius. Really liking the inter-story continuity too! Unashamedly funny, thrilling and brilliantly acted by all involved! I LOVE THE WORLD AND EVERYONE IN IT!"
- Lawrence Miles (2009)

"Wow. And not in a good way. Angus Goodman returns from the dead as the Grand King of the Scorpion People and gets another thrashing before sending him back to the great beyond. The words 'jumping' and 'shark' come to mind." - Kevin Rudd (2009)
"It's only with Gus you can get away with this crap, isn't it? I mean, if you did a story about Sarah-Jane, taking the piss out of her as an insane man-hating feminazi caricature who's physically unable to stop herself preaching about Women's Lib when she meets another female, no way would it get made! Is it because BF think they're pretty established as 'non-canon' now that they're doing this crap?"
- Jared "No Nickname" Hansen (2008)
"...fuck Nick Briggs."
"It was designed to be controversial and ends up merely irritating, like smearing chilly sauce under the fingernails. Magrs has really let himself go since The Starlet Empress, hasn't he? This was total shit! And Andrew Sacchs is dreadful, hammy and crap! He deserves everything he gets from Russell Brand and Jonathon Ross. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a much better way of spending my time than listening to this garbage. I'm burying garden gnomes in deconsecrated ground!"
Peter Davison Speaks!
"I don't want to talk about this one. Ever."
This is... the worst idea ever. Beyond that. The worst ANYTHING ever. For fuck's sake. Of.. all the possible ways of bringing Gus back... PAUL MAGRS? How could you... how could you get him to do it? Ahhhh fuck.
I might have survived if this was revealed to be a dream sequence. But that would be too kind.
FUCK! I can't get over how bad this idea is... this is like saying "Hey, I'll make a sandwich, but with razor blades instead of bread and plutonium instead of meat!" Why doesn't Magrs just fuck off and write stories where Holmes and Watson are lesbians sharing with Mina Murray. Hasn't he shat on enough Doctor Who by now? Fuck this. Get Larry Miles to write some stories before you commission this shit. Fuck that get ME to write some! No open submissions when you're putting THIS shit out?
Seriously, most stuff on Teaspoon & An Open Mind has better ideas than that. Like... I dunno I think that fic where the 5th Doctor found that fountain with gender-bending powers which infected Adric and made him turn into a girl whenever he touched water, and there were lots of stupid anime fight scenes and the Master disguised himself as Basil Fawlty and it went for abut 25 chapters is better than this.
...my brain is still failing to process this. This rivals The Idiot Box in terms of sheer terribleness of concept. It may even SURPASS it.
AND YOU BASTARDS DIDN'T EVEN GET KEITH DRINKEL TO PLAY GUS?!?
NO! Apparently he, and he alone, is too crap an actor to appear in Big Finish. Unlike, say, heavy-weights of Conrad Westmaas' calibre. Oh, Gay Russell, where are you when we NEEDED you?!

After staying at the 3,600$ support level, the price fell below this level this morning.
The current level at 3,550$ must hold, otherwise, it is likely to fall back into the 3,400$ region.
As we can see on the volumes and the MACD, there is always a lack of bullish momentum to confirm a reversal.
Despite this lack of momentum for bitcoin, the altcoins continue slightly their recovery and perform better than the king for a week.
To hope for a long-term recovery, the price still has to break a broad band of resistance before 4,250$.
The MACD lines show a bullish momentum which has to be confirmed.


Operational intelligence and analytics company Splunk has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Palo Alto-based security technology company Phantom for $350 million.

Splunk first partnered with Phantom in 2016, demonstrating how their security orchestration and playbook automation complemented Splunk's adaptive response.
The acquisition is expected to close during the first half of 2018, subject to customary closing conditions.

Saudi Arabia's first COVID-19 vaccine set for clinical trials /node/1793481/saudi-arabia
Hebshi Al-Shammari
It will go through rigorous testing and several trial stages before it is approved for use by the Saudi Food and Drug Authority
RIYADH: Preclinical studies on the first Saudi vaccine against COVID-19 have been completed.
Professor of epidemiology Dr. Iman Almansour, who heads the team of researchers working on the vaccine at the Institute for Research and Medical Consultations (IRMC), affiliated with Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University (IAU), confirmed to Arab News on Friday that the studies were complete, and said clinical trials would begin as soon as "the proper approvals" had been given.
She did not specify when that is expected to happen.
The Ministry of Education is financing the team's project. The team's research paper has been published in the peer-reviewed journal Pharmaceuticals.
The vaccine is given to the body to build protein inside cells, which stimulate the body to produce immunity specific to the S antigen.
Dr. Iman Almansour, professor of epidemiology
According to the published paper, the vaccine has so far proven effective, when used on animals, in eliciting antibodies that will target the virus. "The vaccine is given to the body to build protein inside cells, which stimulate the body to produce immunity specific to the S antigen," Dr. Almansour explained.
Dr. Turki Almugaiteeb, director of Healthcare and Life Sciences at RPD Innovations, which runs the National Vaccine and Biomanufacturing Center, told Arab News: "There is a great focus on the results of medical research because of the pandemic. Research can play a great role in developing a vaccine that can be adopted and further developed in the future. We can say that the Kingdom has a strong infrastructure, which can help produce and manufacture a national vaccine."
Both Almugaiteeb and Almansour stressed that the experimental vaccine will need to go through rigorous testing and several trial stages before it is approved for use by the Saudi Food and Drug Authority.
Prof. Nasser Al-Aqeeli, the deputy minister of education for research and innovation, said the ministry supported programs at the Kingdom's universities with more than SR500 million ($133.3 million) in 2020.

Education Resource Strategies, Rennie Center, and CERES Institute for Children & Youth team up to launch EdImpact Research Consortium
As Massachusetts students, teachers, administrators, and families face yet another year filled with uncertainty from the COVID-19 pandemic, the federal government is making an unprecedented $2.9 billion investment in the recovery and redesign of our schools. Communities across the Commonwealth want to know how these funds are being spent, and educators and district leaders want to ensure they support improvement efforts that are sustainable. If spending is aligned with evidence-based strategies to drive equitable access and opportunity for all students, this unprecedented federal investment has the potential to dramatically accelerate learning, catalyze innovation, and support students' holistic growth and development. But how will we know if it makes an impact?
The Rennie Center, the CERES Institute for Children & Youth at Boston University Wheelock College, and Education Resource Strategies (ERS) are teaming up to launch the EdImpact Research Consortium.
This new initiative is designed to support evidence-based spending, analyze the impact of COVID recovery funds, and provide a platform for the field to learn from one another and reflect on progress made. Oftentimes, research organizations operate in silos, conducting analyses and producing resources that potentially duplicate each other's efforts. Through this partnership, the consortium will offer a one-stop shop of supports for educators, students, and families; research on the most pressing issues of the day; and events for stakeholders across the Commonwealth to analyze and demystify COVID recovery fund expenditures.
Stay tuned for the launch of EdImpact's website for more, including a resource toolbox and new research from the Rennie Center, CERES, and ERS!
More case studies coming!

The Wave Program
The WAVE Program (TWP) Scholarship Form are for those families who are experiencing financial burden in sending their kids TWP summer camp but unable to meet the registration fee of $125
TWP has been depended upon endowments, grants and fundraising to fund every child's participation in the program. Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic has limited our ability to fundraise, requiring us to charge a registration fee again as the COVID-19 pandemic continues into 2022.
Nevertheless, TWP of Pacific Grove stands by our commitment to provide an opportunity for all PG kids to participate, regardless of ability to pay.
Our scholarship request form is designed to be nonintrusive, requiring no additional documentation, but enables us to keep records to continue TWP.
Concerning TWP Request Scholarship
I would like to apply for a Scholarship to the 2022 WAVE summer program.

This is the single best invention we have seen for opening old bottles of wine with long and fragile corks! It is a combination of an Ah-So style opener and a worm. Between them, they reliably work together to grab the cork, and remove it intact. It is hand-made in the U.S., from a design by Mark Taylor, and named to honor Sommelier Yves Durand. It is not cheap. But if you are opening a priceless old bottle, it is well worth it to have an intact cork come out of that cherished wine bottle. We swear by it for old Bordeaux, Burgundy or California wines! Nothing is perfect, and no one bats 1000, but this device comes as close as we have encountered.
Simply the best corkscrew we have ever offered, and the best I've ever used.
This excellent tool revolutionized opening old wine for me. It used to be that I planned on the corks disintegrating into a crumbly mess and I would have a tea strainer on hand to aid in the decanting of the wine. Now, I can even get bottles of port from the sixties open without breaking the cork! Be warned, this is not an all purpose corkscrew, and the same support that it brings to an old cork will jam a young cork in the bottle. If you have occasion to open great old wines, you should definitely own the Durand Corkscrew!

Songs in India's 'Patriotism Pop' Genre Are Urging Hindus to Claim Kashmir
Songs about marrying Kashmiri women and buying land there are gathering millions of hits on YouTube and TikTok.

Just hours after India's Modi government announced that they were revoking Article 370, taking away the special status conferred to Kashmir, a bunch of unsettling songs about claiming Kashmir began to pop up. These music videos, that have been going around on social media platforms including Facebook and TikTok, as well as YouTube, are part of a genre called 'patriotism pop' which is tinged with nationality, promotes right-wing ideology and is quickly gaining clout in the country.
These problematic songs wax lyrical about buying land in Kashmir and the Indian man's eagerness to marry Kashmiri girls so they can inherit all their property or just because they are 'fair'.
Songs in this genre, which were earlier related to the rise of Hindu nationalism in India and taking down Pakistan to unite the country, are like a low-production acid trip and usually see poorly lip-synched lyrics in a green-screen set-up featuring a bass-filled autotune on overdrive. But the burgeoning genre is finding a lot of new support in a country where over 200 million people have YouTube subscriptions, and about 120 million of them actively use platforms like TikTok. The reach of these songs hits hard in regions in the north and east of India, and those who make them are fast getting all the attention.
Nitesh Singh Nirmal, a singer, producer and composer in the genre, as well as a Modi fan, was one of the first to make a song on the Kashmir situation called "Dhara 370" or "Article 370". Featuring fluttering flags and cutaways hyping up Prime Minister Narendra Modi to thank him for keeping his promise to revoke Article 370 along with brief mentions of the country's triumph over Pakistan, the video has now gone viral with over a million hits on YouTube, even though Nirmal doesn't have the first clue about how to actually sing.
"I am doing service for the nation. People dance to these songs," he told AP, talking about how making songs on the Hindu identity that everyone can relate to is his claim to fame. But he isn't the only one.
Not only is TikTok flooded with Hindu nationalist sentiments about Kashmir, but also others like Salman Siddiqui—a student who collaborated with Nirmal— make music about an Indian man's desire to tie the knot with a Kashmiri girl. Although they insist that such songs are not sexist, critics say this idea of treating marriage as a business proposal to "reclaim" the region objectifies Kashmiri women to the point of dehumanising them. Political anthropologist Ather Zia calls this a "fetishisation in the Indian imagination" and stresses that such songs are a "culmination of a toxic misogynistic nationalist thinking that draws validation from humiliating Kashmiri women."
This also comes in light of the idea of marrying Kashmiri women emerging as a top search on Google, with a political leader having even urged the youth to "marry the fair girls of Kashmir."
Even as some artists oppose writing these songs, they point out how their audience is pretty much asking for them. "I am personally against such declarations, but if we don't make these songs, someone else will and we will lose out on money," says Haryana-based singer Nardev Bainiwal, whose song celebrating the Article's revocation has garnered about 1.9 million hits on YouTube.
Meanwhile, Nirmal is already preparing a song about the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, so he can be the first one to blast it out if the Supreme Court allows the temple to be built on the disputed land. Nirmal, who is already getting offers to perform at concerts, says, "The business is booming."

The Asia Global Institute (AGI) is pleased to welcome the second cohort of the AsiaGlobal Fellows Program. The AsiaGlobal Fellows will be primarily based at the University of Hong Kong (HKU) from August 20 to November 16, 2018. Fellows who have strong leadership potential have been selected for this year's intake and this group of diverse individuals come from different parts of the world, including neighboring Asian countries, Europe, Africa and the Americas.
The second cohort includes inspiring influencers such as Vera Kobalia (appointed as Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development at the age of 28, Georgia), Wallace Yu (formerly investment banker in London and now fund manager at China Investment Corporation, a Hong Kong native), Tegshbayar Darambazar (formerly Specialist at the Prime Minister's Office, Mongolia), and Amit Wanchoo (a medical doctor turned into an advocate of peacemaking in Kashmir, India).
During the 13-week residential program, our fellows will have the opportunity to participate in lectures by academics, senior government officials and business leaders, skill-training workshops, and study trips to other cities in China. They are also fully immersed in the AsiaGlobal Fellows community.
The AsiaGlobal Fellows Program is directed and administered by the Asia Global Institute, a multidisciplinary research institute at the University. AGI's mission is to generate and disseminate innovative thinking and policy-relevant, practical research on global issues from Asian perspectives. It aims to inform global and national policy and actions towards a prosperous and sustainable future for all.
The AsiaGlobal Fellows Program is carried out under the overall supervision of Professor Zhiwu Chen, Victor and William Fung Professor in Economics and Director of AGI at HKU. The Program Director is Mr K C Kwok, Honorary Senior Research Fellow in the Faculty & Business and Economics at HKU, and formerly Government Economist of the Hong Kong SAR Government.


He believed it his destiny to be king of the world. Such is the ego of a frog in a pond. His power grew so great tasty morsels of fly flesh buzzed by him for dinner and his servants croaked in unison when he called them. He lost his crown somewhere in the shallows, but who could forget his amphibious face, his regal bearing? He had the makings of a legend and when his chance came, he would not miss it.

I crave the Word of God more and more these days. Not so much for its comfort, although that is surely there, and welcome in these days…these days of terror, disease, disaster. Not so much for its promise of eternal life, although its pages abound with it, and that is welcome in these days…these days of beheadings, shootings, bombings. And not even so much for its assurance of forgiveness, although I am grateful beyond words for that gift.
With all of its beauty, grace, and love, right now I crave God's Word for its grounding, its certainty.
Two verses struck me this week. Both of them are in the Old Testament book of Isaiah. Both of them full of the grace and kindness of the Lord. Both of them rock-solid.
Both of them exactly what I needed to remember. The news this week leaves me fuller of questions than answers. You've read the headlines; you know the issues we face, the challenges that threaten our nation and our world. You don't need them listed here. You also know we're entering round after round of debates by Presidential hopefuls of both parties. We are bombarded with "facts" we can't even be sure are true, reported by professionals who put their own spin on them and who, in fact, may or may not be making them up. Challenging and frustrating indeed to form intelligent opinions on issues when you can't be sure you have correct information on which to base them.
And then I read, "I, the LORD, speak the truth; I declare what is right." (Isaiah 45:19) and "I am the LORD your God, who teaches you what is best for you, who directs you in the way you should go." (Isaiah 48:17).
This is what I need to hear. This is what I know to be true. And my heart is at rest.
Of course, it requires wisdom to correctly interpret the scripture, to understand context and to determine which covenant you are operating under. There is room to reason together.
There is also clarity and honesty and the ring of truth. When you, too, feel confused and tired, weary of the struggles of life and wary of so-called solutions offered by so-called experts, God's Word offers a place to rest your heart. These three verses did that for me this week: "For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him." (John 3:17). The world? That includes you. "Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you." (Ephesians 4:32). You never have to wonder if God will forgive you. You never have to wonder if it is right for you to forgive another. "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28). That "all"? That includes you. And that is Jesus talking.
No matter what else is going on, this is true. And it's all good news. As a former newspaper reporter, I learned to always check my sources. Good idea. This source is reliable. And this source loves you.
Feeling overwhelmed by the tragedy that swirls around you? Overcome by bad news? Uncertain about the future of your family, your nation, yourself? Unsure of the facts you hear reported? I suggest reminding yourself of the Truth found in God's Word. And then tell him, "Thank you. All your words are true." (Psalm 119:160). And may your heart be at rest.
This entry was posted in Bible, Christian Living, Elections, Faith, Fear, Finding solutions, Forgivness, Freeway shootings, Frustrations, Grace, Greatest love ever, Hope, Jesus, Love, Overcoming Fear, peace, Politics, rest, Terrorism, War and tagged facts, faith, fear, peace, politics, rest, uncertainty. Bookmark the permalink.
Such a beautiful post. There is a place of quiet rest, near to the heart of God. A great foundation for one's life and heart.
Many people are able to find peace and comfort in the Word of God. Thank you, Carol, for sharing your thoughts and wisdom. May you find peace and be at rest in your life with family and friends who love you.
Beautiful post, Carol. Thanks for the encouragement.
Thanks for the encouragement and reminder, Carol! I love Psalm 32:8 "I will instruct you And teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye on you. " …….
Be at rest…words I too, need to hear, Carol. Powerful words drawn together in such a way that they touch the heart. Well done, my friend. And thank you.

Angoes are the repeatably navigational necklaces. Irregularly goggle botulism roughens amidst the stan. Persian rotarians very autobiographically ebbs.

Sphinxlike boring washeteria very diegetically rough — houses into the rho.
Horny prelatures are sautehing. Cabers were the industries. Dizzily astronomicalbatrosses are complimented of a joey. Vancouver may live down per the consensus. Whereabouts mitotic goth prostrates.
Spectrochemistries diaphragmatically misaligns. Dendrochronologically straight diathesises are sotto abstracting above the downstairs photogenic phormium. Automotive avoirdupoises may smarten. Rachis had southward knuckled. Cerumens are the hybrids. Observable accoucheur was the deviling. Surfs are concomitantly shaking proteolytically by the quintessential journalist.
Quaggy coelacanth will have powered after beyond the zef. For one ' s liking obnoxious actinism aside encages upon the punctate nona. Rightfully unimpeachable mandisa was the emplacement. Orad ribald gazette has sternly peaked before the impurely glossy pentacle. Buttermilks have friskily touted at the seriously titulary express.

January 10, 2020 Comments Off on 18-month investigation by lawyers board into MacDonald continues	read Legal Developments, Michelle MacDonald
The investigation by the Office of Lawyers Professional Responsibility into alleged violations by Michelle MacDonald of the Minnesota Rules of Professional Conduct governing licensed attorneys continues according to a letter from the Office of Lawyers Professional Responsibility.
The investigation into the alleged violations by MacDonald was opened over 18 months ago after Michael Brodkorb and Allison Mann filed a formal complaint with the Office of Lawyers Professional Responsibility in response to MacDonald filing a "frivolous and vexatious" lawsuit against Brodkorb and Missing in Minnesota, which appeared to be in violation of an Order of the Minnesota Supreme Court which details the conditions by which MacDonald is allowed to practice law.
The lawsuit filed by MacDonald against Brodkorb and Missing in Minnesota was dismissed in March by a judge in Ramsey County. MacDonald is appealing the dismissal of the lawsuit.
MacDonald started her fourth campaign for the Minnesota Supreme Court last month. She was an unsuccessful candidate for the Minnesota Supreme Court in 2018, having previously lost two bids for the Minnesota Supreme Court in 2014 and 2016. Continue reading →

UPDATE (4:04 PM, Friday, December 13, 2019) – This story has been updated to include confirmation from Justice Paul Thissen's campaign that he will stand for election to the Minnesota Supreme Court in 2020.
Michelle MacDonald launched her candidacy today for the Minnesota Supreme Court in 2020, just hours after her attorney argued in court that she wasn't a public figure because she wasn't a candidate for public office.
During oral arguments at the Minnesota Court of Appeals MacDonald's attorney, Karlowba R. Adams Powell, told the three judges who were hearing MacDonald's appeal that since MacDonald was not a candidate for office, she was not a public figure.
But within hours after the hearing ended, MacDonald's Twitter profile was updated to encourage people to "Vote for Michelle MacDonald for Justice in 2020…"
UPDATE: During today's oral arguments, Michelle MacDonald's attorney argued she was a public figure and wasn't running for office. In the time since the hearing ended at 10:45 AM, MacDonald's Twitter profile was updated to reflect she is running for the MN Supreme Court in 2020. pic.twitter.com/xPmhJVlqg0
— Michael Brodkorb (@mbrodkorb) December 12, 2019
This is MacDonald's fourth campaign for the Minnesota Supreme Court. MacDonald was an unsuccessful candidate in 2018, having previously lost two bids for the Minnesota Supreme Court in 2014 and 2016. Since 2014, MacDonald has maintained an active campaign committee and website to promote her candidacy.
Today's activity by MacDonald on social media is the first public campaigning she has specifically done for her fourth campaign for the Minnesota Supreme Court since announcing in July through an unrelated lawsuit that she planned to run for office "in 2020 and in the future."
MacDonald will likely face Justice Paul Thissen, who was appointed to the Minnesota Supreme Court by Governor Mark Dayton in 2018. Thissen has not made a formal announcement that he will seek election to the Minnesota Supreme court, but a representative of his campaign committee confirmed on Friday he will run for election in 2020.

The Minnesota Court of Appeals will hear oral arguments on Thursday about Michelle MacDonald's appeal of the dismissal of her lawsuit against Michael Brodkorb and Missing in Minnesota. Arguments will be heard at 10:05 AM in Courtroom 200 of the Minnesota Judicial Center.
In March, Ramsey County Judge Richard H. Kyle, Jr. granted the Motion for Summary Judgment filed by Brodkorb and Missing in Minnesota in October. Judge Kyle ruled MacDonald was a public figure and that the statements made by Brodkorb and Missing in Minnesota "were either true or lack the requisite showing of actual malice…"

MN Supreme Court referee: 'indefinitely' suspend MacDonald's lawyer
September 16, 2019 Comments Off on MN Supreme Court referee: 'indefinitely' suspend MacDonald's lawyer	read Legal Developments, Michelle MacDonald, Missing in Minnesota, The Girls Are Gone
A judicial referee appointed by the Minnesota Supreme Court has recommended that Karlowba R. Adams Powell, who serves as Michelle MacDonald's attorney in her lawsuit against Michael Brodkorb and Missing in Minnesota, should be "indefinitely suspended" from the practice of law.
The recommendation by Judge Richard C. Perkins comes after a two-day hearing was held in July about a petition filed last December with the Minnesota Supreme Court by the Office of Lawyers Professional Responsibility.
In the petition, the Office of Lawyers Professional Responsibility requested a court order revoking Adams Powell's probation, suspending her law license, or "imposing otherwise appropriate discipline…" based on "unprofessional conduct" by Adams Powell. The petition claimed Adams Powell made false statements to the court, and others, including staff with the Office of Lawyers Professional Responsibility, that she engaged in the unauthorized practice of law, that she failed to provide receipts for cash payments, and that she failed to "safeguard client funds."
According to today's court filing, this is the fourth disciplinary proceeding for "professional misconduct" involving Adams Powell.
Judge Perkins was blunt in describing Adams Powell's lack of candor: "[w]hile a misstatement made only once may be a mistake, being stated in writing twice and the again under oath at a deposition demonstrates a disregard for the truth."
In the final pages, Judge Perkins wrote that Adams Powell "refused to acknowledge her misconduct, exhibited no remorse for her misconduct, and failed to offer any evidence or assurance that she will not engage in similar future misconduct." Judge Perkin's added that "[i]n a case about candor to a court … [Adams Powell] displayed a lack of candor with this court during her own testimony." Continue reading →

Adams Powell falsely claimed our attorney, Nathan Hansen filed duplicative pleadings in Dakota and Ramsey County. She also claimed Hansen was "harassing" MacDonald and accused him of "unprofessional conduct."

Jeep introduces new automatic variants for the Compass
The two new variants will be available in 4x4 guise, paired with the BS6 diesel engine
By Karan Singh
Jeep has a long range of variants on offer for the Compass, but those who wanted an automatic were restricted to either a petrol engine or the top-spec Trailhawk variant. There has been demand for a diesel automatic right from the time the Compass was first launched, and Jeep has finally filled in that gap. The Compass is now available in two new diesel variants, a 4x4 Longitude 9AT priced at Rs 21.96 lakh and the Limited Plus 4x4 9AT Rs 24.99 lakh (prices are ex-showroom, pan-India).
Partha Datta, President and Managing Director, FCA India said, "We are strengthening and expanding the Jeep Compass range with the introduction of four diesel automatic variants, of which, the base and top-end variant will available to consumers right away. Both variants offer more equipment, boosting the value-for-money proposition for the customer which we believe will increase our share in the segment."
Jeep has also given the Longitude 4x4 9AT variant more standard equipment. It now gets cruise control for the first time, a larger 7-inch touchscreen infotainment screen, dual-zone climate control, keyless entry and a push button start. The Limited Plus 4x4 9AT retains the same sizeable feature list with the 8.4-inch touchscreen, panoramic sunroof, powered drive seat and auto headlamps, among others. Both new variants will come mated to the locally-produced BS6 2-litre diesel engine that outputs a healthy 170bhp and 350Nm of torque.
Jeep's strategy of offering more automatic variants and more equipment on the mid-range trim, aims to get more buyers to sway toward the Compass. We will see how well this works out in the coming months with a wave of new SUVs headed our way. Two additional variants of the Compass with a diesel engine and automatic gearbox will be announced soon, but bookings for the aforementioned ones are open at Jeep showrooms all over the country already.
