GET THE QUICK FACTS
After a Wound: Who Needs a Tetanus Shot?
Tetanus results from a toxin produced by the anaerobic bacteria Clostridium tetani. The toxin makes muscles contract involuntarily and become rigid.
Tetanus usually develops after a wound or an injury that breaks the skin becomes contaminated.
Diagnosis is based on symptoms
Vaccination and appropriate wound care can prevent tetanus.
Treatment includes giving tetanus immune globulin to neutralize the toxin and treating symptoms until they resolve.
(See also Overview of Clostridial Infections.)
Clostridium tetani do not require oxygen to live. That is, they are anaerobes.
Tetanus is rare in the United States but is common in developing countries.
Clostridium tetani is present in soil and animal feces and can live there for years. Tetanus bacteria may enter the body through
Wounds contaminated with soil or feces (especially if the wound is not adequately cleaned)
Skin punctures by contaminated needles (such as those used to inject illegal drugs or to tattoo or do body piercing)
Sometimes the injury is so small that people do not even go to a doctor. Injuries that involve a foreign body (such as a splinter, dirt, or bullet fragments) and dead tissue (such as burns, frostbite, gangrene, or crush injuries) are more likely to cause tetanus.
Occasionally, tetanus results when the uterus is damaged during an induced abortion or childbirth. In developing countries, soil contamination of the stump of the umbilical cord can cause tetanus in newborns.
Tetanus bacteria produce spores. Spores are an inactive (dormant) form of bacteria. Spores enable bacteria to survive when environmental conditions are difficult. When conditions are favorable, spores grow into bacteria. Clostridium tetani bacteria produce tetanus toxins. These toxins travel throughout the body and prevent certain nerves from sending signals to other nerves. As a result, muscles contract involuntarily, causing stiffness and painful muscle spasms.
Vaccination during childhood plus booster doses every 10 years during adulthood can prevent tetanus. Thus, tetanus occurs mainly in people who have not been vaccinated or not kept their vaccinations up to date. This situation is more common in developing countries. In the United States, the risk of developing tetanus is high for the following:
People over 60 because immunity decreases over time
People who were never given the primary series of tetanus vaccines, which is part of routine childhood vaccination
Tetanus symptoms usually begin about 5 to 10 days after the injury but may begin up to about 50 days later.
Muscle spasms are the characteristic feature of tetanus. Muscles contract involuntarily (spasm) and become rigid. Spasms usually begin in the jaw (causing lockjaw) and throat (making swallowing difficult), followed by the neck, shoulder, face, and then the abdomen and limbs. Such spasms may interfere with breathing, sometimes so much that people turn blue. The face may be frozen in a smile with the eyebrows raised. Back muscles contract, making the back, neck, and legs arch backward. Spasms of sphincter muscles can lead to constipation and difficulty urinating. Slight disturbances—such as noise, a draft, or the bed being jarred—can trigger painful muscle spasms throughout the body.
Rarely, muscle spasms may be limited to muscle groups near the wound. Such localized tetanus may persist for weeks.
Other symptoms occur because tetanus affects the nervous system, including the part that regulates internal body processes, such as how fast the heart beats. People with tetanus may have a rapid heartbeat and a fever. They may sweat profusely. Blood pressure may go up and down. People may inhale (aspirate) the contents of their mouth into their lungs, resulting in pneumonia.
People may be restless and irritable. However, even when the illness is severe, people usually remain fully conscious.
In newborns, tetanus usually affects the whole body and is frequently fatal. Children who survive may be deaf.
Promptly and thoroughly cleaning dirty wounds can help prevent tetanus.
Worldwide, about 50% of people who have tetanus die, usually because spasms of muscles in the throat, chest, and abdomen interfere with breathing. But in the United States, only about 6% die if the disorder is treated appropriately. But if treatment is delayed and tetanus is severe, as many as 60% may die. People who inject drugs, the very young, and the very old are more likely to die of tetanus. The outlook is worse if symptoms develop quickly and progress rapidly or if treatment is delayed.
With treatment, most people recover.
A doctor's evaluation
A doctor suspects tetanus when certain muscles (commonly, jaw and back muscles) become rigid or spasms occur, particularly in people who have a wound.
The bacteria can sometimes be grown (cultured) from a sample taken from the wound. However, culture results sometimes indicate tetanus when it is not present (a false-positive result), and tetanus may be present even if no bacteria are detected (a false-negative result). Thus, doctors do not rely on culture to diagnose tetanus.
Preventing tetanus is far better than treating tetanus.
Tetanus rarely develops in people who have completed a primary series of tetanus vaccinations (three or more injections into a muscle) and had booster vaccinations every 10 years, as recommended. The tetanus vaccine stimulates the body to produce antibodies that neutralize the toxin. But it may take several weeks after vaccination for these antibodies to develop.
In young children, the tetanus vaccine is given as part of a series that includes the diphtheria and pertussis (whooping cough) vaccines (see Table: Routine Vaccinations for Infants, Children, and Adolescents).
Adults who have completed the primary series of tetanus vaccination should get tetanus boosters every 10 years.
Pregnant women are given the tetanus, diphtheria, and acellular pertussis vaccine (Tdap) during each pregnancy. This strategy prevents women and newborns from getting tetanus. When pregnant women are vaccinated, antibodies to tetanus are transferred from the mother to the fetus during pregnancy, and the newborn has antibodies to tetanus at birth.
When people are injured, they can help prevent tetanus by promptly and thoroughly cleaning wounds.
People who have wounds may be given one dose of tetanus vaccine to prevent tetanus from developing. If people have not been previously vaccinated, they are given a second dose 1 month after the first and a third dose 2 months after the first. Then booster doses are given every 10 years.
Because the vaccine takes weeks to be effective, tetanus immune globulin is sometimes given in addition. This immune globulin is obtained from human donors who have high levels of antibodies to the tetanus toxin. These antibodies neutralize the toxin immediately. (Antibodies are proteins produced by the immune system to help defend the body against a particular attacker, such as tetanus toxin.)
Number of Previous Vaccinations
Clean, Minor Wounds
Deep or Dirty Wounds*
Uncertain or fewer than 3†
Tetanus vaccine‡
Tetanus vaccine‡ plus tetanus immune globulin
3 or more§
Tetanus vaccine‡, if it is more than 10 years since the last dose
Tetanus vaccine‡, if it is more than 5 years since the last dose
* Included are wounds contaminated with dirt, stool, soil, or saliva, as well as puncture wounds, wounds involving loss of tissue, wounds caused by a penetrating object or crushing, burns, and frostbite.
† People who have not been given the recommended number of tetanus vaccine doses are advised to get them (called catch-up vaccination).
‡ Which form of the tetanus vaccine is used depends on the person's age. For people 7 years old or older, tetanus and diphtheria toxoid (Td) vaccine is used. Tetanus, diphtheria, and acellular pertussis (Tdap) is preferred to Td for adults who have never been given Tdap. Children younger than 7 years old are given diphtheria, tetanus, and acellular pertussis (DTaP) vaccine. Children who cannot be given pertussis vaccine (for example, those who have a seizure or certain other brain or nerve disorders) are given diphtheria and tetanus (DT) vaccine.
§ If only three injections of tetanus vaccine have been received, a fourth dose should be given.
Wound cleaning and removal of dead tissue and foreign material
Tetanus immune globulin
Treatment of symptoms, sometimes including a mechanical ventilator
People with tetanus are admitted to an intensive care unit. The room is kept quiet to prevent disturbances that could trigger muscle spasms. Wounds are cleaned thoroughly, and dead tissue and foreign material are removed.
Antibiotics (usually metronidazole) are given intravenously to kill the bacteria and thus stop the production of toxin. However, antibiotics have no effect on toxin that has already been produced. Such toxin continues to cause muscle spasms. A single dose of tetanus immune globulin is usually injected into a muscle to neutralize the toxin already produced. If tetanus immune globulin is unavailable, doctors may give people nonspecific immune globulin, which contains many different antibodies, including those that defend against tetanus.
People do not develop immunity to tetanus once they have had tetanus. That is, they can get tetanus again. Therefore, after people who have tetanus recover from the infection, they are given tetanus vaccine unless their vaccinations are known to be up to date.
For muscle spasms and rigidity, sedatives, such as diazepam or midazolam, may be given. These drugs also help relieve anxiety.
If muscle rigidity interferes with breathing, a tube may be placed in the windpipe (called endotracheal intubation), and the person is given a drug to paralyze the muscles and thus stop the spasms. Then the tube is attached to a mechanical ventilator.
If blood pressure and heart rate are unstable, doctors may give morphine by vein, magnesium, a short-acting beta-blocker, or other drugs.
If swallowing is difficult, nutrition and fluids are given intravenously or, less often, through a tube inserted through the nose and into the stomach.
If constipation, which is common, develops, stool softeners are given, and a tube may be inserted into the rectum to help manage gas production.

This line is mostly open. This was the first public line to employ steam power from its opening. Line line was 25 miles long, engineered by George Stephenson and opened in September 1825 from Witton Park to Stockton Quay. The gauge of this line was accepted as "standard gauge" and is used in Britain and throughout the world.
Looking east at the old coal drops by Shildon station.
The line was extended to superior harbour facilities at Middlesbrough.

Ineos Styrolution, the global leader in styrenics, plans for a major investment to build a new 50000 tonnes per year ABS production line in its site at Wingles, France, to meet the growing market demand for ABS in Europe. Ineos Styrolution's production site at Wingles has three polystyrene production lines. One of the three lines will be converted into a production line for ABS with a planned capacity of about 50,000 tonnes per year, which is scheduled to be in operation in Q1'2020. The site at Wingles has so far focused on the production of polystyrene but now the focus has changed to the production of ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene).
Automotive, Household, Electronics, Healthcare, Construction and Packaging sectors in Europe are some of the focus industry sectors of Ineos and are the prime-movers for the growing market demand for ABS solutions from Ineos Styrolution.
"Three ABS production sites in Europe – Wingles, Antwerp and Cologne – with an increased ABS production capacity give us increased flexibility and allow us to grow with our customers. Our customers can focus on their businesses while relying on our production capacities being able to meet their growing demand across our broad ABS portfolio", said, Rob Buntinx, President EMEA.
Ineos Styrolution with world-class production facilities of 16 production sites in nine countries and more than 85 years of experience offers the best possible solution for its customers to get a competitive edge in their markets.

Most web-based services begin as a collection of front-end application servers paired with databases used to manage data storage. As they grow, the databases are augmented with caches to store frequently-read pieces of data and improve site performance. Often, the ability to quickly access data moves from being an optimization to a requirement for a site. This evolution of cache from neat optimization to necessity is a common path that has been followed by many large web scale companies, including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Reddit, and many others.
Last year, at the Data@Scale event and at the USENIX Networked Systems Design and Implementation conference , we spoke about turning caches into distributed systems using software we developed called mcrouter (pronounced "mick-router"). Mcrouter is a memcached protocol router that is used at Facebook to handle all traffic to, from, and between thousands of cache servers across dozens of clusters distributed in our data centers around the world. It is proven at massive scale — at peak, mcrouter handles close to 5 billion requests per second. Mcrouter was also proven to work as a standalone binary in an Amazon Web Services setup when Instagram used it last year before fully transitioning to Facebook's infrastructure.
Today, we are excited to announce that we are releasing mcrouter's code under an open-source BSD license. We believe it will help many sites scale more easily by leveraging Facebook's knowledge about large-scale systems in an easy-to-understand and easy-to-deploy package.
Destination health monitoring and automatic failover: Mcrouter keeps track of the health status of each destination. If mcrouter marks a destination as unresponsive, it will fail over incoming requests to an alternate destination automatically (fast failover) without attempting to send them to the original destination. At the same time health check requests will be sent in the background, and as soon as a health check is successful, mcrouter will revert to using the original destination. We distinguish between "soft errors" (e.g., data timeouts) that are allowed to happen a few times in a row and "hard errors" (e.g., connection refused) that cause a host to be marked unresponsive immediately. Needless to say, all of this is completely transparent to the client.
Cold cache warm up: Mcrouter can smooth the performance impact of starting a brand new empty cache host or set of hosts (as large as an entire cluster) by automatically refilling it from a designated "warm" cache.
Broadcast operations: By adding a special prefix to a key in a request, it's easy to replicate the same request into multiple pools and/or clusters.
Reliable delete stream: In a demand-filled look-aside cache, it's important to ensure all deletes are eventually delivered to guarantee consistency. Mcrouter supports logging delete commands to disk in cases when the destination is not accessible (due to a network outage or other failure). A separate process then replays those deletes asynchronously. This is done transparently to the client — the original delete command is always reported as successful.
Multi-cluster support: Configuration management for large multi-cluster setups is easy. A single config can be distributed to all clusters and, depending on command line options, mcrouter will interpret the config based on its location.
Rich stats and debug commands: Mcrouter exports many internal counters (via a "stats" command; also to a JSON file on disk). Introspection debug commands are also available, which can answer questions like "Which host would a particular request go to?" at runtime.
Quality of service: Mcrouter allows throttling the rate of any type of request (e.g., get/set/delete) at any level (per-host, per-pool, per-cluster), rejecting requests over a specified limit. We also support rate limit requests to slow delivery.
Large values: Mcrouter can automatically split/re-stitch large values that would not normally fit in a memcached slab.
Multi-level caches: Mcrouter supports local/remote cache setup, where values would be looked up locally first and automatically set in a local cache from remote after fetching.
IPv6 support: We have strong support internally for IPv6 at Facebook, so mcrouter is IPv6 compatible out of the box.
SSL support: Mcrouter supports SSL connections (incoming or outgoing), as long as the client or the destination hosts support it as well. It is also possible to set up multiple mcrouters in series, in which case the middle connection between mcrouters can be over SSL out of the box.
Multi-threaded architecture: Mcrouter can take full advantage of multicore systems by starting one thread per core.
Mcrouter is written mostly in C++ (with heavy use of C++11 features), with some library code written in C and protocol parsing code written in Ragel. It uses Facebook's open source libraries Folly and fbthrift (for async networking code).
A mcrouter process starts up multiple independent threads, each running an event loop that processes all network events asynchronously (using libevent). Once each request or reply is parsed, it's processed inside its own lightweight thread or "fiber"; we have a custom fiber library implementation built on top of boost::context.
Mcrouter configuration is written in JSON format and allows specifying an arbitrary route handle scheme to easily adapt to any routing task. We have presented some common use cases in depth on our wiki.
We invite software engineers using memcached everywhere to evaluate mcrouter and see if it helps to simplify the site administration while providing the new capabilities listed above (shadow testing, cold cache warmup, and so on). Instagram used mcrouter for the last year, before transitioning to Facebook's infrastructure, so mcrouter is proven in an Amazon Web Services setup. Prior to open sourcing, we partnered with Reddit for a limited beta test, and they are currently running mcrouter in production for some of their caches.
We would also love to see patches come back that will make mcrouter more helpful to you and to others in the memcached community.
Mcrouter source code has been open sourced at https://github.com/facebook/mcrouter. We're always looking for ways to improve mcrouter's performance, fix bugs, and add new features. We will continuously update the external Github repo with our internal changes, so you can benefit from this work as well. We maintain mcrouter documentation on the Github wiki. We have also set up a Facebook discussion group.

Amassing hands-on experience and making valuable connections – that's what internships are all about. And that's just what happened for Cheryl Carmack. During her second year of grad school in the Master of Environmental Studies Program at the College of Charleston, Carmack found herself interning with a local environmental watchdog organization – Charleston Waterkeeper. Flip the calendar forward one year, and Carmack has ended up joining the group full time as the organization's in-house scientist.
The crux of her academic internship was to develop a full-scale program to monitor water-quality across the local region. As part of that work, Carmack collaborated with her grad school professors and with scientists at local and state agencies. It was important that the organization's data and subsequent findings be officially recognized, and that required the use of a state-certified environmental laboratory. Because of Carmack's grad student status, the water samples were studied and assessed at a lab right on campus. In fact, that's the lab that Carmack and Charleston Waterkeeper continue to use in their work today.
As a water quality specialist, Carmack spends much of her time collecting samples from specific sites throughout the Charleston area watershed, which ranges across thousands of acres. With a keen eye for detail and a love of science, this is an ideal role for Carmack, who also oversees the maintenance and operation of the College's hydrochemistry lab. And when she's not in the lab or in the field pulling samples, she's out in the community engaging with the public about the importance of the area's water quality.

And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

(37) THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.—This was what was technically known as the titulus—the bill, or placard, showing who the condemned person was, and why he was punished. Each Gospel gives it in a slightly different form—Mark (Mark 15:26), "The King of the Jews;" Luke (Luke 23:38), "This is the King of the Jews;" John (John 19:19), "Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews." The variations are, perhaps, in part, explicable on the assumption of corresponding differences in the Hebrew, Greek, and Latin forms of the inscription, which reproduced themselves in the reports upon which the Gospel narratives were based. But in part also they may reasonably be ascribed to the natural variations sure to arise even among eye-witnesses, and à fortiori among those who were not eye witnesses, as to the circumstantial details of events which they record in common. On grounds of ordinary likelihood St. John's record, as that of the only disciple whom we know to have been present at the crucifixion (John 19:25), may claim to be the most accurate.
There was, apparently, a kind of rough tenderness towards the Man whom he had condemned in the form which Pilate had ordered. He would at least recognise His claims to be in some sense a King. The priests obviously felt it to imply such a recognition, a declaration, as it were, to them and to the people that One who had a right to be their King, who was the only kind of King they were ever likely to have, had died the death of a malefactor, and therefore they clamoured for a change, which Pilate refused to make (John 19:20).
Benson Commentary
Matthew 27:37-38. And set over his head his accusation — That is, a superscription, containing the substance of his pretended crime, written in capital letters, and in these remarkable words, THIS IS JESUS, (John adds, OF NAZARETH,) THE KING OF THE JEWS. The two other evangelists do not express the title so fully. See the note on John 19:19, &c. Bishop Pearson, (On the Creed, p. 205,) and Dr. Lardner, (Credibil., vol. 1. p. 347,) have abundantly proved it to be usual, in cases of any extraordinary punishment, to put an inscription over the head of the sufferer, indicative of the crime for which he suffered. Then were there two thieves crucified with him — "They placed Jesus in the middle, by way of mock honour, because he had called himself a king, and was now crowned with thorns; or, if the priests had any hand in this, they might design hereby to impress the spectators more strongly with the thought of his being an impostor, and to make them look on him as the chief malefactor. Thus, however, as Mark observes, the Scripture, namely, Isaiah 53:12, was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered with the transgressors. For, in giving the history of our Lord's sufferings, the evangelists endeavour all along to make their readers sensible that all the circumstances of them had been foreseen and foretold by the prophets. Their design in which was, to prevent the offence which might otherwise have been taken at Christ's sufferings.
27:35-44 It was usual to put shame upon malefactors, by a writing to notify the crime for which they suffered. So they set up one over Christ's head. This they designed for his reproach, but God so overruled it, that even his accusation was to his honour. There were crucified with him at the same time, two robbers. He was, at his death, numbered among the transgressors, that we, at our death, might be numbered among the saints. The taunts and jeers he received are here recorded. The enemies of Christ labour to make others believe that of religion and of the people of God, which they themselves know to be false. The chief priests and scribes, and the elders, upbraid Jesus with being the King of Israel. Many people could like the King of Israel well enough, if he would but come down from the cross; if they could but have his kingdom without the tribulation through which they must enter into it. But if no cross, then no Christ, no crown. Those that would reign with him, must be willing to suffer with him. Thus our Lord Jesus, having undertaken to satisfy the justice of God, did it, by submitting to the punishment of the worst of men. And in every minute particular recorded about the sufferings of Christ, we find some prediction in the Prophets or the Psalms fulfilled.
And set up over his head - John says John 19:19 that Pilate wrote the title and put it upon the cross. Probably Pilate wrote it or caused it to be written, and directed the soldiers to set it up. A man is often said to do what he directs others to do. It was customary to set up over the heads of persons crucified the crime for which they suffered, and the name of the sufferer The accusation on which Jesus had been condemned by Pilate was his claiming to be the King of the Jews.
This is Jesus, the King of the Jews - The evangelists differ in the account of this title. Mark Mar 15:26 says it was, "The King of the Jews." Luke Luk 23:38, "This is the King of the Jews." John Joh 19:19, "Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews." But the difficulty may be easily removed. John says that the title was written in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin. It is not at all improbable that the inscription "varied" in these languages. One evangelist may have translated it from the Hebrew, another from the Greek, a third from the Latin, and a fourth may have translated one of the inscriptions a little differently from another. Besides, the evangelists all agree in the main point of the inscription, namely, that he was the King of the Jews.
Mt 27:34-50. Crucifixion and Death of the Lord Jesus. ( = Mr 15:25-37; Lu 23:33-46; Joh 19:18-30).
For the exposition, see on [1375]Joh 19:18-30.
Ver. 35-37. Mark saith, Mark 15:24-28, When they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take. And it was the third hour, and they crucified him. And the superscription of his accusation was written over, The King of the Jews. And with him they crucified two thieves; the one on his right hand, and the other on his left. And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered with the transgressors.
Luke saith, Luke 23:33,34, And when they were come to the place which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left. Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.
John telleth us some further circumstances, John 19:18-24 Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst. And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, Jesus of Nazareth the King of the Jews. This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin. Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews. Pilate answered, What I have written I have written. Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout. They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the Scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did. And they crucified him; that is, four soldiers, as we learn from John's narration of this matter of fact; it seemeth this business was assigned to four more especially.
This crucifying was a bitter and shameful kind of death, not in use amongst the Jews, but amongst the Romans. The manner of it is not particularly known to us: but, as it is described by writers, a piece of wood was erected which was crossed with a bar upon the top. The body of the person being fastened to the main piece of wood, his arms were extended, and nailed to the cross bar, or piece of timber, and his hands and feet were nailed. Mark saith, it was the third hour, which with us was about nine of the clock: so hasty they were in destroying this just person, that between midnight and nine of the clock in the morning, they apprehended him, tried and condemned him in the sanhedrim, or at least in a court of high priests and elders, and then before Pilate the Roman governor, and led him to be crucified, and nailed him to his cross. The evangelists tell us, he was crucified in the middle between two thieves, of whom we shall read more afterward. Several scriptures of the Old Testament were fulfilled in this crucifixion of Christ. They pierced my hands and my feet, Psalm 22:16, was fulfilled in his nailing to the cross. In his being crucified betwixt two thieves was fulfilled that, Isaiah 53:12, He was numbered with the transgressors. That of the psalmist, Psalm 22:18, They parted my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture, was fulfilled in the soldiers' parting of our Saviour's garments, as their fee. But how could they part them, and yet not rend them? Possibly they parted his other garments, and only did cast lots for his coat, or upper garment. Or, it may be, they valued it, and agreed each man's share, and then cast lots for the whole. I see no ground for their assertion, who say, that in such cases they only stripped the condemned person of his upper garment. John's relation seemeth to oppose it; he saith, and also his coat. Matthew, Mark, and John all agree in the inscription which Pilate drew to be put upon his cross, signifying the crime for which he died; only John puts in those words, of Nazareth. Thus Christ died in the attestation of his kingly office. This inscription angered the Jews; they solicit Pilate to alter it, and that it might be, Who said he was the King of the Jews. But Pilate refused, saying, What I have written I have written. There was nothing more pleasing to Pilate than this, (as he thought), to deride the Jews, as having such a despicable person (as he judged him) their King. In the mean time the counsels of God have their effect; Christ in his death is declared to be the King of the Jews. Luke saith, that Christ said, Father, forgive them; for they know what they do. Whether these words were spoken when our Lord was first nailed to the cross, or afterward, is not much material. Luke relates them before the soldiers' parting his garments. Our Saviour by them declares himself a true Pastor and Shepherd of souls, teaching his disciples no more than he himself did practise. Matthew 5:44, he had taught his disciples to pray for them who despitefully used and persecuted them. Himself here practises it. The malice of men ought not to quench in Christians the grace of God. Let us now consider the passage that happened from the time he was nailed to the cross until the time of his expiration, which was more than three entire hours.
And set up over his head his accusation written,.... The Evangelist John calls it a "title", John 19:19, and Luke, a "superscription", Luke 23:38, and Mark, the "superscription of his accusation", Mark 15:26, it was what contained the sum and substance of what he was accused, and for which he was condemned, and suffered. The Syriac and Persic versions here render it, "the cause of his death". It was written by Pilate in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin, that all might read it; and by his orders it was put upon the cross, and over the head of Jesus by the soldiers. This title, or inscription, setting forth the person's crime, used to be carried before him, or put upon him, as he was led to execution (x): but here it was set upon the cross, and perhaps nailed unto it; to which the apostle seems to allude in Colossians 2:14, the substance of it was,
this is Jesus the king of the Jews. This was what the chief priests accused him of to Pilate, and about which he questioned him, and for which they desired he might be crucified; urging, that should he let him go, he could not be Caesar's friend. Hence Pilate wrote his accusation in this form, not so much in derision of Jesus; for by conversation with him he understood what sort of a king he was, as to the reproach of the Jews for crucifying him who was their king; being the person that was prophesied of in their books, as king of Zion, and whom they expected as such, though now they denied and rejected him,
(x) Lipsius de Cruce, l. 2. c. 11.
{9} And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
(9) He is pronounced the true Messiah, even by those who reject him.
Matthew 27:37 Whether it was customary to have a tablet (σανίς) put over the cross containing a statement of the crime (τὴν αἰτίαν αὐτοῦ) for which the offender was being executed, we have no means of knowing. According to Dio Cass. liv. 8, it might be seen hanging round the neck of the criminal even when he was passing through the city to the place of execution. Comp. also Sueton. Domit. 10; Calig. 32; Euseb. v. 1. 19.
ἐπέθηκαν] It was undoubtedly affixed to the part of the cross that projected above the horizontal beam. But it is inadmissible, in deference to the hypothesis that the "title" (John 19:19) was affixed to the cross before it was set up, either to transpose the verses in the text (Matthew 27:33-34; Matthew 27:37-38; Matthew 27:35-36; Matthew 27:39, so Wassenbergh in Valckenaer, Schol. II. p. 31), or to take ἐπέθηκαν (Kuinoel) in the sense of the pluperfect, or to assume some inaccuracy in the narrative, by supposing, for example, that the various details are not given in chronological order, and that the mention of the watch being set is introduced too soon, from a desire to include at once all that was done (de Wette, Bleek) by the soldiers (who, however, are understood to have nailed up the "title" as well!). According to Matthew's statement, it would appear that when the soldiers had finished the work of crucifixion, and had cast lots for the clothes, and had mounted guard over the body, they proceed, by way of supplementing what had been already done, to affix the "title" to the top of the cross. The terms of the inscription are given with diplomatic precision in John 19:20, though others, including Keim, prefer the shortest version, being that found in Mark.
Matthew 27:37 : this fact is mentioned out of its proper place. t is probable that the placard with the accusation was fixed up before the cross was erected. As it stands in Mt.'s narrative, it looks like an after-thought of the soldiers as they sat keeping watch, their final jest at the expense of their victim and the nation to which He belonged. What the custom was as to this is not known. Of the various versions of the inscription Mk.'s is the shortest: THE KING OF THE JEWS; to this Mt. prefixes: This is Jesus.
37. and set up over his head his accusation written] It was the Roman custom to place on the cross over the criminal's head, a titulus, or placard, stating the crime for which he suffered. St John records Pilate's refusal to alter the inscription, and mentions that the title was written in Hebrew and Greek and Latin.
King of the Jews. See ch. Matthew 2:2.
The inscription is given with slight variations by the four Evangelists. "The King of the Jews" (Mark 15:26). "This is the King of the Jews" (Luke 23:38). "Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews" (John 19:19). This variation points to the independence of the different Gospels, and also indicates that a real though not a verbal accuracy should be looked for in the records of the Evangelists.
Matthew 27:37. Ἐστιν, is) Yes; He truly is so! The inscription, perhaps, remained longer on the cross than the body of Jesus.[1196]
[1196] δυο λῃσταὶ, two robbers) Matthew and Mark mention their crucifixion at a later point of time than the other two Evangelists; from which we may infer that the crucifixion of Jesus was regarded by Pilate and his subordinates as the principal and most important case.—Harm., p. 567.
Pulpit Commentary
Verse 37. - Set up over his head his accusation written. This was the titulus. A wooden tablet smeared with gypsum, had on it, written in black letters, the charge on which the prisoner was condemned. This, which had been hung round the criminal's neck or carried before him on the way to execution, was now affixed to the upper portion of the cross over his head. THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS. The title had been prepared by Pilate (John 19:19, 22), and was conceived in terms studiously offensive to the Jews, with whom he was deeply indignant. It was written in three languages, so that all of whatever nationality might read it - in Hebrew and in Latin and in Greek (for the order, see Westcott on John 19:20); i.e. the national Aramaic, familiar to all Jews; the official Latin,understood by the soldiers and Romans; the current Greek, the dialect of Hellenistic Jews, and largely used by all classes. "These three languages gathered up the results of the religious, the social, the intellectual preparation for Christ, and in each witness was given to his office" (Westcott). The title is given by the four evangelists with some verbal variations, which are owing in part to the actual differences existing in the three versions of the inscription. They run thus: "'This is Jesus the King of the Jews" (Matthew); "The King of the Jews" (Mark); "This is the King of the Jews" (Luke); "Jesus of Nazareth the King of the Jews" (John). Of these titles, those given by Mark and Luke probably represent the Latin; that of Matthew, the Greek; while that of John was intended for the national population, who alone would understand the veiled sneer contained in the addition, "of Nazareth." The legend of the finding of the cross and its inscription is given by Butler, 'Lives of the Saints,' on 'The Invention of the Holy Cross.' A supposed fragment of the title is preserved at Rome, in the Church of the Holy Cross, and declared by a papal bull to be authentic. In this case infallibility has rather overstepped its limits. Matthew 27:37
Accusation (αἰτίαν)
Lit., cause, and so rendered by Wyc. Tynd., cause of his death. The word accusation is compounded with the Latin causa, a cause. It is the cause of his condemnation and suffering.

Even if you're skeptic of television revivals, you can at least relent that the upcoming Twin Peaks reboot fulfills a send-off from the dearly departed Laura Palmer herself: "I'll see you again in 25 years." Now, a brand new Twin Peaks teaser shared by David Lynch seems suggest that the reunion between America and its favorite murdered homecoming queen is forthcoming. In it, the series' magnificent composer, Angelo Badalamenti, bringing us into the woods with Laura Palmer's theme, evoking both beauty and tragedy (though cutting off before sublimating in some seriously misty waters). And, of all the iconic sounds to resurrect, Laura's theme seems like a puzzling pick, and perhaps one that suggests that Laura Palmer's influence in the town of Twin Peaks is still presiding over the series.
But, how is that possible? If you're just getting around to marathoning Twin Peaks on Netflix, I won't expose the exact conclusion to "Who Killed Laura Palmer," yet — just know that we are delving into slightly vague yet still spoiler-y territory from here. Thing is, the show's downfall was ultimately this: the "whodunnit" aspect of Laura Palmer's murder mystery was wrapped up halfway through the second season. So, with the series anchored mainly around her death, there wasn't a lot left to do with her.
That isn't to say there wasn't still unfinished business hiding in Twin Peaks; it was still uncertain what precise darkness lurked the Black Lodge. More than that, there was still some seemingly supernatural reason why Laura became a target of certain forces, and what her place in the Red Room really meant.
But still — bringing it back to Laura Palmer, musically or otherwise, seems like a strange choice for the Twin Peaks teaser. Not "strange" in an unexpected way, since strangeness is an on-brand quality of the series. Instead, it's traditionally ominous, insinuating that Laura's legacy in the town of Twin Peaks has never been forgotten. But more than that, it probably alludes that Laura's involvement in the Twin Peaks mythos is far from over. The how of how she'll be involved is still up for speculation; Laura's life was cut off at 16, and Sheryl Lee hasn't been frozen in time for the past quarter century, so I doubt she'd be coming back. Still, this teaser definitely hints that "I'll see you again in 25 years" wasn't an empty promise.
Showtime's Twin Peaks is slated to debut sometime in 2017, so until then, have Badalamenti take you back to the show's central story (and fallen queen) with the teaser below.

Turkey's unemployment unchanged at 11.2 percent in November
Turkey's jobless rate remained unchanged at 11.2 percent in November compared with the previous month, the Turkish Statistical Institute said.
Non-agricultural unemployment, adjusted for seasonal factors, increased by a monthly 0.1 percentage points to 13.1 percent, the institute said on its website on Monday. The number of people in the labour force rose by 267,000 to 33.6 million, it said.
Turkey's government is seeking to boost employment and economic growth by cutting interest rates and instructing state-run banks to provide cheap loans to businesses. The country's economic outlook has darkened as the lira slumped to successive record lows against the dollar late last year and inflation jumped to end 2021 at 36.1 percent.
Youth unemployment rose by 1.7 percentage points to 22.3 percent. The proportion of the 12.1 million Turks who are aged between 15 and 24 and have a job was 32.7 percent, the data showed.

Evert Offereins (Assen, 7 januari 1936 - Soest, 27 september 2008) was een Nederlands dierenarts die zich specialiseerde in de paardengeneeskunde.

Na zijn studie diergeneeskunde begon Offereins zijn eigen kliniek in Bosch en Duin. In eerste instantie was dit een gewone kliniek, maar als snel begon Offereins zich te specialiseren in paarden.
Uit het hele land kwamen de paarden naar Bosch en Duin toe. Na 35 jaar, na het overlijden van zijn vrouw Willie Bos, stopte hij met de kliniek, en begon hij met het schrijven van boeken over zijn vak. Ook schreef hij columns voor het paardentijdschrift Bit.

Offereins was voorzitter van de Vereniging voor Hoefsmeden en lid van de tucht- en arbitragecommissie van het Koninklijk Warmbloed Paardenstamboek Nederland.
Als dierenarts was hij vaak aanwezig bij wedstrijden, en hij was in 1972 teamveterinair van het Nederlandse ruiterteam op de Olympische Spelen in München.
In 2001 werd Evert Offereins benoemd tot erelid van de Groep Geneeskunde van het Paard.

Naast vele andere kwaliteiten was Evert Offereins een van de eerste specialisten in de paarden die niet alleen het belang van podiatrie en gespecialiseerd hoefbeslag erkende, maar daartoe ook goede relaties met hoefsmeden onderhield.

Christiansen begins 2nd year, eyes more progress for Dover
May 9th, 2016 · by Ashton Brown · Comments:

DOVER –– Monday's Dover City Council meeting ushered in the second year of Mayor Robin Christiansen's term, a year when Dover will also celebrate its tricentennial.
"Last year I gave us a B-plus," Mayor Christiansen said in his State of the City remarks. "Today, I give us a B-minus because while I know we have worked diligently, we can always do better and we will."
One of Mayor Christiansen's goals has been to make the City of Dover a safe place to live and last year, Dover secured $580,000 from the state to address safety concerns.
The funding is being funneled into enhancing community policing, foot patrol, adding cameras downtown, improving the cadet program and supporting community outreach programs.
He commended the city police, fire department and all the city's employees who have contributed to the improvements made during his first year, but emphasized it will take a sustained unified front to continue making strides.
"The challenges are many, but we have the talent and the team to meet the challenges of today to ensure that our vision of the future is a safe, prosperous and beautiful city where we all want to work, play and live. A place we are proud to call home," the mayor said.
In the business portion of Monday's City Council meeting, Councilman Tim Slavin was reaffirmed as Council President/Vice Mayor.
Speedway zoning changes approved
Council members unanimously voted for the proposed zoning changes for four properties at Dover International Speedway.
The vote will change the zoning of the properties from agriculture use to recreational and commercial use.
Currently, 295 acres of The Woodlands of Dover International Speedway, which hosts events including Firefly Music Festival, sit outside city limits and fall under the jurisdiction of Kent County.
All except 35 acres of the property lying with the county are set to be transferred to Dover.
The city has been working with the speedway for approximately one and a half years to annex all of the properties used for festivals, camping, and other activities into the City of Dover under a common zoning classification of recreational and commercial.
Once all the land is of the same zoning and under jurisdiction of the city, management will be made much easier as it will all fall under the city.
Currently, organizers of festivals and events held at the speedway must obtain permits from both Dover and Kent County for a single event, and the annexation will make coordinating events a simpler and more seamless process.
The complicated permitting process was first brought to light in 2012 when the first Firefly Music Festival was held at the speedway.
Other issues that may arise with the property including complaints, law enforcement and emergency response will also be easier to manage with festival property solely within
jurisdiction of the city.

As goes California, so goes the nation. Nowhere is this adage truer than in environmental policy, thanks to Democrats' eagerness to impose the Golden State's radical eco-agenda on all Americans. Yet it is exactly such policies that have helped lead California to financial ruin.
On Tuesday, for example, President Barack Obama announced his intention to apply California's fuel efficiency regulation to all 50 states. You might think that the Constitution reserves such lawmaking to Congress. After all, there is a robust interstate trade in automobiles and in 2007 Congress revised the Department of Transportation's Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards to require cars and trucks sold in America to become 40 percent more fuel efficient by 2020.
The 2020 CAFE standards are ambitious--they require efficiency improvements at nearly two-and-a-half times the historical rate. Yet they weren't ambitious enough for liberal California legislators, who passed a law to accelerate Congress's time line by four years.
Of course, it doesn't make any sense for automakers to conform to two different fuel efficiency regulations which is why the Bush administration refused to allow California to set its own standard. President Obama simply substituted Congress's 2002 CAFE targets with California's.
An automobile's carbon footprint is proportional to vehicle weight, so the new regulation will make larger cars more expensive--work trucks will cost a lot more for blue collar Americans in the country's heartland. But that's of little concern to Prius-driving coastal urbanites.
At the same time that the president was announcing the Californication of the country's automobile fleet, House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Henry Waxman (D-Beverly Hills) was working to push through an anti-energy bill designed to export the Golden State's failed energy model to the rest of the country. The bill, the Clean Energy and Security Act, borrows liberally from California's climate initiatives, including a cap-and-trade scheme, a renewable energy requirement, and a low-carbon standard.
That should worry all Americans, because California's energy policy is an unmitigated disaster. California's expensive energy has driven industries out of the state. According to the Energy Information Agency, California has some of the highest electricity prices in country, due in part to the laughably-misnamed "deregulation" of California's electricity industry. Californians were actually left with an over-regulated energy supply that cannot deliver energy at the affordable prices the rest of the country can. No wonder, then, that it has exported most of it electricity generation to other states.
The Republican Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger was left bemused recently when it became apparent that he cannot even build a solar power plant in the middle of the Mojave Desert, due to the federal Endangered Species Act which prohibits any construction that disturbs the habitat of species designated as endangered. The state's remaining hydro-power plants are offline because of the drought, so rolling blackouts like those of 2005 will be inevitable. This is the energy policy that President Obama in now trying to impose on the rest of the nation--to cut out all affordable sources of energy and cause bills to, as he once famously said, "skyrocket," to encourage development of alternative energy sources.
The effect on California's economy has been disastrous. Heavy manufacturing in the state is dead. The industries it has left--entertainment in Hollywood and technology in Silicon Valley--are not enough to supply the tax base the state needs to support its expansive social welfare programs, which in turn have seen demand spike because of high unemployment caused by the energy policy.
Voters have decisively rejected Proposition 1A, which would have raised taxes to cover spending. The Governator will therefore have to become the Terminator again if he wants to avoid the state going bankrupt.
In the past California certainly had some golden years, culturally and economically and America becoming more like California might once have been a good thing. If the president still believes that, he hasn't been paying attention.

I was very saddened to hear that pioneer broadcaster and friend John Russell had passed away suddenly at his home in Cyprus on 6th October 2009. I met him several times when he came to Hilversum to run courses for the Radio Netherlands Training Centre.
A few years back I visited his home on the island to meet him and his wife Sue. We started chatting about his great radio career and I decided this was material that we should share with others - so out came the camera. What I have posted here (in two parts) are sections of the interview recorded that afternoon, where John shared a lot of wisdom about what works and doesn't work in radio. Through the training work he did in later years, many students owe their careers to John. His wit, wisdom and authenticity was a great gift and I hope this video will inspire others as much as it inspired me. John was truly one of the Masters of the Media.

From Mountains to Sea Level: Back in the U.S.
I've now been back in the U.S. for two weeks, and though I was looking forward to spending time with family, it has been an interesting transition. I returned from Peru with an intestinal parasite and haven't necessarily been living-it-up, but that aside, home has felt different.
First and foremost, switching from speaking Spanish 95% of the time for six weeks to English all of the time is a very interesting transition. I found myself still wanting to use Spanish phrases and even thinking of Spanish synonyms in addition to English ones. I was also surprised at how easily I forgot certain things and found myself struggling to think of a Spanish word. As one can imagine, I also found this discouraging and sad, but have since picked up Duolingo to keep my vocabulary sharp.
Family time also changed a lot from my time in Peru. Though my family here tries to eat together every meal, work schedules are hectic and lots of times we were missing one or several family members. In Cusco, if someone missed a meal it was a serious sin. Perhaps this doesn't seem like much, but empty dinner tables felt much sadder and more significant than they ever have.
Something I never thought I would miss from Peru: taxi drivers. For clarification, I do not miss the insane driving styles and constant traffic, but I do miss the ability to hail a taxi anywhere and anytime.Taxi drivers are such a wealth of information and I learned so much about the city during my 20 min rides to-and-from the center. They taught me new words, about the government, and where I should go to eat. Though they always seemed surprised I was engaging with them, once the flood gates were open, they would chat for forever. Thankfully, many took money off my price just for being kind and trying my best. I also miss the haggling with taxi drivers. In Cusco, you agree on a price before you get into a Taxi and it was always such a rush to talk turn down terrible prices and surprise them by telling them no and requesting a better price in Spanish. In fact, the haggling and bartering culture in general is something I will miss dearly. I think it created a fun relationship between buyer and seller, and I learned so much from asking people about products and prices. I was amazed at how willing people were to share their knowledge and craft. When in Amantani, I sat and watched a woman doing embroidery work and I told her that I also enjoyed doing such work; so, she showed me her stitch pattern and let me work on her pillowcase for some time. Then, she gave me a better price on her other work just for listening and talking with her.
Overall, there are many elements of the culture that I miss about Cusco, Peru. However, there is something comforting and quelling about the familiarity of the United States. I am happy to be back at home and with family, where I don't have to worry about strays or constantly think a little harder just to talk. But, I will surely be returning.

Shakespeare Festival Moving to New Home
Originally published on August 26, 2020 by Chip Rowe in The Highlands Current
Philanthropist donates 52 acres in Garrison
The Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival, which since 1987 has held hundreds of summer performances at Boscobel in Garrison, will move in 2022 to a 52-acre parcel donated by Chris Davis, who owns The Garrison country club.
Davis offered in October to donate the land, along with The Garrison's restaurant and catering business, while the HVSF board was discussing a new, long-term lease with Boscobel. Davis McCallum, who has been HVSF's artistic director since 2014, called the gift "a transformational opportunity" for the festival that could change it into a regional cultural anchor as well as a community center.
The 2020 season, which would have been the festival's 34th, was canceled on April 30 because of concerns about the spread of COVID-19. The festival will return to Boscobel for a "farewell" season in 2021 before moving to what is now the back nine of The Garrison, which will become a nine-hole course, McCallum said.
The festival will replace its iconic view at Boscobel, which was used as a backdrop for its performances, with a view of the Hudson that is presently the 11th fairway.
"I might suggest it's even more spectacular than Boscobel," McCallum said cautiously on Tuesday (Aug. 25), noting that "it has Storm King and Breakneck framing the gateway to the upper Hudson Valley. For those of us who aren't golfers, I don't think people are aware of what an amazing view there is from that fairway."

Added Kate Liberman, HVSF's managing director: "The actors will still come across the ridge and you'll still hear the crickets and feel the breeze and there may still be a skunk that walks across the stage," alluding to a particularly memorable moment in the tent at Boscobel.
According to the plans that the HVSF will present to the Philipstown Planning Board, likely in October, The Garrison property would be divided into four parcels: 52 acres for HVSF; 95 acres for the golf course; 28 acres for Davis' private residence; and 27 acres along Route 9 that may eventually also be gifted to HVSF, McCallum said.
The 52 acres given to the nonprofit HVSF would presumably be removed from the Philipstown tax rolls. There was no value given for the gift, but the acreage would be taken from two parcels that total about 142 acres and have been given a full-market value of about $8.5 million by the town assessor.
As part of the gift, the Shakespeare Festival will create a separate, for-profit entity to oversee The Garrison catering business and Valley Restaurant, with profits returning to the festival, McCallum said. Davis will continue to own and operate the golf course.
The festival plans to begin a capital campaign soon to raise money to build a new tent for the space that will be designed to remain up year-round. (Under its lease with Boscobel, the tent must be taken down each fall.) The current tent holds about 530 audience members and HVSF expects its new tent will be about the same size, if not smaller.
HVSF purchased a new skin for its tent, seen here at Boscobel, in 2018. (HVSF)
The move also will allow HVSF to consolidate the five rented spaces it uses to store costumes and equipment, which include Winter Hill in Garrison and a Putnam Valley barn.
The festival said it will commission artists to "animate" the new site, including Marti Lyons, Ryan Quinn, Kholoud Sawaf, Madeline Sayet, and Melissa McGill and composer Heather Christian, both from Beacon.
Davis has owned the 200-acre parcel, located at the intersection of Route 9 and Snake Hill Road, for more than 20 years, McCallum said. Davis is a director of the Hudson Highlands Land Trust, which he chaired for more than 15 years, and the chair of the newly formed Hudson Highlands Fjord Trail. He also is a vice chair of the American Museum of Natural History, a former director of Scenic Hudson and a generous financial supporter of the Shakespeare Festival, McCallum said.
HVSF hired Nelson Byrd Woltz Landscape Architects to develop a master plan and Jeanne Gang + Studio Gang and Fisher Dachs Associates Theater Consultants to design the performance space.
What About Boscobel?
Jennifer Carlquist, who in April was named executive director and curator of Boscobel, said in a statement released by the Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival that the historic site was "thrilled for our colleagues and excited for the opportunities that this opens up for all of us."
In an email on Wednesday (Aug. 26), she elaborated: "Like all nonprofits, Boscobel depends upon donations to stay vibrant and strong. HVSF was a large part of Boscobel's earned revenue, but we were working around each other's schedules, so their move gives Boscobel the opportunity to develop and program our own site and earn revenue more freely.
"Boscobel believes strongly in collaborating with and expanding our audience through partnerships with other organizations, such as the Cold Spring Farmers' Market," she added. "That said, people seek out Boscobel for what we do best — fostering personal experiences with the beauty and history of our iconic landscape, house and collections. The overwhelming demand and feedback that we've received from visitors this year indicates that will continue to grow."
Davis McCallum at HVSF had nothing but praise for the festival's longtime hosts. "I want to say how truly grateful we are to Boscobel," he said. "When you think about 75 performances a summer — that's hundreds of performances on that site — and all of the stories that have been told and memories that have been made there. We're looking forward to being back in 2021 to celebrate that."
McCallum noted that the pandemic has put open-air performance spaces in demand, and that he has fielded calls every week since March from artistic directors of theater and opera companies and music festivals.
"I know what they're going to ask about" even before the conversations begin, McCallum said. "They want to know about the tent. Where did you get it? How much does it cost? How quickly can they make one?"
HVSF expects next month to announce the plays for its 2021 season. "We are hopeful we will be able to gather outside with an audience," Liberman said.
McCallum noted that when the 2020 season was canceled in April, "we weren't making guarantees to roll over the shows [which included Richard III and Love's Labor's Lost, as well as a commissioned adaptation of a 1747 play, The Venetian Twins]. We canceled three gorgeous plays and each one hurt in its own particular way.
"But I'm glad we didn't [roll them over] because part of the fun of planning a season is trying to find plays that speak to the moment, and so much has changed in the past five months," he said.
Liberman said that although the pandemic has been "horrifying," the festival was fortunate to be able to cancel its season before it began, while many other theaters were in the midst of rehearsals and performances. HVSF also received a federal Payroll Protection Program loan to pay its artists during the lost summer — "it was not significant, but it was at least something," she said. "The shutdown shifted the whole company into a planning mode."
The HVSF is viewing the gift as a mandate to become even more environmentally conscious than it is already, McCallum said.
"Chris Davis has, I think, for several decades been looking for a community-minded, sustainable, adaptable reuse for the space," McCallum said. "I think he saw in the Shakespeare Festival a local organization that could be the next steward of the land.
A Philipstown tax map shows the large parcel from which much of the acreage to be donated to HVSF home will be taken.
"The gift is truly historic because things like this just don't happen in nonprofit theater anymore," he added. "It's miraculous that there are these 200 contiguous, immaculately preserved acres 50 miles from New York City, and add to that Chris' vision to choose an arts organization as the next steward of this natural resource. We have an opportunity to model what a green performing arts center can look like," while noting that "a tent is about the most environmentally friendly space you could come up with."
McCallum envisions the new tent in 2022 including natural convection cooling ("the hot air can up the masts") and that the festival will consider "ways to generate power on-site, how we organize concessions, what sort of bathrooms we design" based on environmentally friendly concepts.
In addition, HVSF is looking at ways to open the site to the community. "There are amazing event spaces at The Garrison that are used for weddings on weekends but are pretty much empty Sunday night through Wednesday night that could be used for meetings or galas," McCallum said.
The restaurant kitchen will allow the festival to prepare concessions on-site and to offer indoor dining before shows, said Liberman. The food sold at Boscobel is prepared by local vendors but brought from elsewhere, she said.
Finally, the new site will give HVSF its own space for rehearsals and programming.
"We will probably still start rehearsals in the city," where many of the actors live, Liberman said, "but we have always rented space for summer rehearsals."
The festival each year sends teaching artists to about 60 schools in the Mid-Hudson Region but will be able to bring students to its campus for matinees and workshops, Liberman said. It also will be able to host fall and winter readings held at spots such as the Philipstown Depot Theatre and summer camps held at Haldane Middle School.
"And our season won't be capped at Labor Day" when the Boscobel tent comes down, she said. "We can continue into the fall when the foliage is spectacular and summer nights are not as hot."
