Let's take a look at the case of Amit.
2 Years into his marriage, Amit decided to buy a Term Plan. Like with everything in today's world, he had a lot of options. After much research, he finally made his mind to go with Edelweiss Tokio Life - Zindagi Plus with the better half benefit option.
Amit also very wisely opted for the "Waiver of Premium" benefit which provides him security against 35 critical illnesses. If he is ever diagnosed with any one of these 35 illnesses his premiums will be waived off. This way, he can focus on his recovery.
Whether your spouse is employed or a homemaker, they deserve the utmost care. With Edelweiss Tokio Life - Better Half Benefit option, we provide your spouse a additional life cover in case of your unfortunate demise. This way your children and parents get the enhanced protection they deserve.
The Better Half Benefit option can be selected only at the policy inception for married individuals. The age difference between the life assured and spouse should be less than or equal to 10 years provided that the policy is accepted at standard rates during policy issuance. This additional benefit is available only if the Base Sum Assured is greater than or equal to Rs. 50,00,000.
Our Flagship feature where we give an additional life cover to your spouse in case of your unfortunate demise before the policy term!
We understand as you grow older your needs grow with you. Hence the Top-Up Benefit!
This benefit will increase your base sum assured every year by your chosen rate (5% or 10%). It will continue increasing till the cumulative top-up sum assured equals the base sum assured or till you reach the age of 60 years or till the remaining policy term is less than 5 years or till the death of the life insured, whichever of these 4 is earlier.
It is a useful and practical way of tackling tomorrow's growing needs and uncertainties such as inflation. The Top-Up benefit option removes the need to buy another life insurance policy.
When you celebrate those important moments in life we celebrate with you. We keep you secured at every milestone you cross. Increase your life cover to include the happy additions to your life.
The people that depend on you today may go out and stand on their own tomorrow. When your child reaches that stage you feel nothing but pride. At this stage we understand your term plan has played its part and maybe you now require a smaller cover. Hence the decreasing sum assured option. Pay lesser premium from day 1 and have your sum assured reduced by 50% after you turn 60.
Choose from two plan options based on sum assured.
Under this, the base sum assured remains the same throughout the policy year.
Under this, the base sum assured reduces by 50% after the policyholder attains 60 years of age.
The policyholder will pay the premium till the policy term lasts.
a.Lumpsum: The nominee will get the entire sum assured after the unfortunate demise of the life insured as a large sum.
b.Monthly Income Benefit: The nominee will get a monthly amount, which can be regular or increasing, depending on the policyholder's choice. The policyholder can also choose the number of months he/she wants the payouts to be completed in. Under increasing income, your payouts will increase at 5% p.a.
c.Combination: The nominee will get a part of the sum assured as lump sum and part as monthly income amount, which can be regular or increasing, depending on the policyholder's choice. Under increasing income, the payouts will increase at 5% p.a.
In this option that needs to be selected at inception, on survival after 30 days, of being diagnosed by a critical illness all the future payments to be made are waived off and the benefits of the policy continue the same way.

I am happy and satisfied with the product and the product performance.
I found the customer service very nice. I was in need of the tax saving document to submit in my office & that day (29th Dec 2017) was the last day to submit. But when I called up the customer service, everything sounded very positive. The person on the other side was very cordial & pleasant, heard my concerns very patiently & assured me that the document would be sent to me very soon. To my surprise I got the document in my inbox in 10 minutes. I wish I could remember the name of the person.
I have taken term plan with edelweiss which has no match with other competitors. No other insurance provides you 80 yrs coverage at such a low premium.
I really appreciate the approach of the executive and realize for the importance of term plan especially thanks to Miss Manisha Mane.

As the holiday season nears, we start to get excited about the weather that is cooling down, the opportunity to eat holiday goodies and worry about the calories later, and the Parade of Boats held in Charleston every year, celebrating all that is wonderful about this time of year! Held on the evening of December 9th, the parade of festively decorated boats traveling along the Charleston Harbor offers a unique spin to the traditional Christmas parade. No animals, no marching bands, just boat after boat, each more festive than the last, and all hoping to win the coveted best decoration prizes.
The theme is Deck the Halls and the captains of the vessels work hard to make sure their "ladies of the sea" are the prettiest on the harbor—perhaps even the prettiest in all of South Carolina! The parade starts at 5 p.m. on the Mt. Pleasant side of the harbor and continues until 8 p.m., parading under a sky exploding with fireworks. The fireworks extravaganza is scheduled to begin at 6:45 p.m. making the finale even more colorful.
As each boat floats quietly by the different viewing areas, the crowds can cheer and applaud their favorites. The night air gets chilly this time of year, so dress accordingly. No one minds the chill though; it's one of our favorite things about this time of year!
Book your luxurious Exclusive Properties vacation home today and start planning for a truly festive start of the holiday season with events in Isle of Palms, South Carolina!


Latvian cities and the countryside can easily be visited by bicycle – you can go wherever you want, stop when and where you wish. Moreover, when going by bicycle, landscapes and sightseeing places can be seen better than when hurrying by car. You can reach every place when going by bicycle – suddenly notice magnificent castle, travel along the sea, a nature path or old city centres.
Bicycles are becoming a more and more popular means of transport; almost every fourth inhabitant has a bicycle of his/her own. The network of bicycle paths is developing, and if you do not have a bicycle of your own, there a lot of places to rent one. In many places in Latvia there are bike rentals and tourist accommodations in the countryside and many small towns offer this service for their guests.
When travelling by train to Jūrmala, you can get out at Bulduri or Ķemeri and rent a bicycle from the train station's bike rental shops – it is possible to travel around the resort city by bicycle. There is a bike rental shop in Valmiera, Cēsu Street 29, and experienced cyclists can travel approximately 20 kilometres and back to Brenguļi, where a tasty local beer is brewed.
For safety reasons, do not leave the bicycle in a remote location. Rather, leave it in a place where there are a lot of people and lock it up using a good U-shaped lock. A good option is to lock the bicycle in a paid parking place or to ask an ice-cream shop worker, employees of a tourist information centre, etc., to look after it. It is advised to leave the bicycle in video-surveillance camera zone. For your own safety, use a reflective vest and helmet and travel using bicycle paths where it is possible.
When travelling by bicycle, anyone can choose where to go. It can be either a trip for several days where you take everything necessary for the trip with you, or one-day trips where you can visit towns and their surroundings by bicycle. Rural tourism association "Lauku ceļotājs" (Countryside Traveller) offers several bicycle tourism opportunities on its webpage.
Bicycle races are very popular in Latvia as well – people who love an active way of life can participate in the popular mountain bike series SEB MTB, the Riga Bicycle Marathon and even the Vienības brauciens (Unity Race), which takes place every year in Sigulda at the beginning of September and lets you test your skills in both serious races or lets you enjoy cycling on a large and joyful team.
Szymon Nitka is a Polish travel blogger and expert cyclist. He travelled through Latvia by bike in May 2018 and documented his adventures.


I'm assuming atwebpages.com may be a free host, and they may not let you increase the php memory limit any more. You may need to look into another host, or disabling some plugins.
Drupal does have comparable social networking tools and is worth considering. It is more of a "proper CMS", but also considerably more difficult to configure properly.
I don't believe there are many options for it. But under the Buddypress menu you should see components, and you can turn the forums on and off from there.
Both BP 1.2.9 and BP 1.5-beta-1 come with bbPress integrated. And both support pointing to an external bbPress install.
Are you having an issue that is leading you to believe that bbPress isn't there?
It doesn't look like permalinks aren't working correctly.

Q: ReactDOM rendered component after removing it does not render component again For a client, I am implementing a React lead form component in their non-React website.
They use a popup/modal element looking like this:

Their way of using this modal is as follows:

*

*The modal is rendered by PHP to the page.

*When something has to be shown in the modal, they render content with javascript in the #modal_body element.

*Then they change the js-modal display style to "block" to show it.

When the modal needs to disappear it works as follows:

*

*They change the .js-modal display style to "none"

*They remove the html inside the #modal_body element.

For my temporary React implementation I use the ReactDOM render() method to insert a React component inside #modal_body element.
// jQuery event handler when clicking a button to show something in modal
$(document).on("click", ".js-popup-form", function () {

   // Changes display style to "block"
   showModal();

   // Render React lead form component in modal body
   ReactDOM.render(<LeadForm />, document.getElementById("modal_body"));
});

The Problem
This approach works the first time, but the problem occurs after hiding the modal and removing the html from the #modal_body element. The second time opening the modal, the lead form component does not get rendered again.

A: I had to unmount the node from the dom before removing the HTML as follows:
const node = document.getElementById("model_body");

// To render
ReactDOM.render(<LeadForm/>, node);

// To remove
ReactDOM.unmountComponentAtNode(node);


About two months ago, I started a small project to see how SquareTags would work on virtual objects like web pages. Subsequent posts are here, here, here and here. This post summarized what I learned. Thanks to Phil Windley and his team for encouragement and support.
One by one, I tagged a few web pages I control with a Square Tag and defined an object in my SquareTag personal cloud as illustrated below.
I invited people to scan the tags and send me a Twitter ID or email address so I could respond. I received about 40 responses from nine states in the US, plus four other nations. Not bad for a little blog way out on the long tail of online information.
I was able to easily link information in my personal cloud to the virtual objects. The personal cloud could potentially be a comprehensive repository for all my physical and virtual possessions.
In the cases of Facebook, About.me and Paper.li (the Discovering Identity Paper), the tags are embedded in a .jpg image, so the host site probably doesn't even know the links exist.
Orange works just as good as black for SquareTags. I started by using photos of the adhesive SquareTags I purchased, but then created orange tags which encoded the SquareTag URL and code for each tag.
I don't think QR Codes are broadly used by most people. I had to explain to several people I know what the codes were and explain what they needed to do to scan a SquareTag.
The user experience presented when someone scanned a SquareTag wasn't optimized for this experiment. Only one field was available, so having people uniformly offer both a contact point (Twitter ID or email address) and location didn't always work. Sometimes I would receive geo coordinates, but that required that a person opted in to use them.
All in all, it was an enjoyable experiment. I think I'll leave the tags in place for awhile, just to see if anyone else responds. After all, I got one out of the blue yesterday.
Thanks to all who participated. I received about 20 responses, from eight states, plus the District of Columbia and Scotland. I was able to connect with most of the people who responded. However, since the SquareTag web app wasn't optimized for collecting contact information, I still don't know where some respondents were located. I enjoyed getting geotag information on several responses, but I didn't receive geotag information on others, presumably since the respondent didn't approve of sending the location information.
The attention span of social media users is short. There were a few respondents each day I announced the experiment on Twitter, but then the response rate quickly fell to zero.
Those who do visit aren't very interested in an arcane blog tag experiment.
That's ok. I am used to living in the long tail.
I want to thank Phil Windley and a couple of people from his team who helped me. They were very supportive, and I got to understand their intriguing technology platform a bit more. I will send a few suggestions their way, and hope to stay in close touch as the technology matures.
I plan to keep the SquareTag in the blog header for awhile, to see if someone, on the odd chance, is still interested. So, if you are so inclined, feel free to scan or click the SquareTag.
I am a person. It starts with me.
I own a Thing – this blog. It belongs to me.
I control my Personal Cloud, which is a service hosted by SquareTag. It responds to my inputs and sends me messages.
The Personal Cloud contains a SqareTag code for my blog.
A person named John visits my blog and scans the SquareTag – a very temporary relationship.
The action of scanning connects John to my personal cloud and is prompted to send a message to me.
The Personal Cloud sends a message to me via SMS – including the GPS coordinates of where the scan was made and a text message, which includes John's Twitter handle.
I post a message to John on Twitter – another service to which I subscribe.
John receives my message in the Tweet stream and responds to me.
As I made this diagram, I become aware of a few things I need to refine in the Identity Relationship model.
The graph edges (arrows) are relationships, but I think I have labelled some of them as data flows, rather than relationships. I need to come up with a way to differentiate between the relationship and information or messages that are exchanged because of the relationship.
How should fairly static relationship (like blog ownership) be differentiated from transitory relationships (e.g. visiting a blog, scanning a SquareTag)?
The diagramming software I use, Graphvis, has some decided advantages and disadvantages. Because it is data driven, I don't have to keep re-drawing the diagram by hand. However, I don't have much control over the esthetics of the diagram.
If anyone has any feedback, I'd be happy to hear it.
Last Saturday, as my previous post described, I launched a little experiment by SquareTagging my blog. I had to make a few adjustments as I received some responses back from the kind folks who participated in the experiment. Thanks to Phil Windley who was very helpful in answering questions and connecting me with a couple of the Kynetx developers.
It was fun to get responses from five states (Arizona, California, Idaho, Nebraska and Utah). Thanks to all of you who scanned or clicked on the SquareTag.
If you haven't done so, could you please scan or click on the SquareTag in this post or in the header of the blog? I'd really appreciate it.


GCU Club Sports is proud to announce that both the Grand Canyon University Men's and Women's Bowling teams finished in the top 10 of their respective sides of the Collegiate Club Team Bowling Final Rankings for the 2018-19 season. The Lopes' Men's team placed No. 7 out of the 24 teams in the final tally, while GCU's Women's team landed at No. 9 among the 16 women's teams listed. The announcements help the two teams build momentum for their trip to Indianapolis, Indiana, for the 2019 Collegiate Club Championships April 6 and 7.
Even though the teams' performances have been as strong or stronger than their 2017-18 showings in their various tournaments, the amount of opportunities for the teams to stay high up in the rankings decreased this season. That fact didn't matter to the pollsters, since today's announcement was a surprising bit of déjà vu for their head coach: the two teams' rankings are identical to this time a year ago.
While the Lopes' Women's team now has more than a month to get prepared to best their 3rd-place finish at last year's tournament (in Smyrna, Tennessee), the GCU Men's squad will have to put that preparation on the back burner until after their trip to Dallas, Texas, and the United States Bowling Congress (USBC) Intercollegiate Team Championship Sectionals Tournament March 9 and 10. The men look to improve on last year's 8th-place finish in Dallas before trying to improve on their top-5 finish in last year's Collegiate Club Championship.


City were unable to put a dent in Fisher's title aspirations on Saturday and three days later they couldn't harm Corinthians title bid either after suffering another single goal defeat.
It was a tight and competitive game and the hosts were forced to work very hard for the much needed three points to keep them on top of the table as they would have been well aware that both their title rivals were winning at the same time. City keeper Jack Delo was by far the busiest on the night but with a bit more assertiveness and fire-power in the opposition box, there is every chance that some of these recent encounters against the top sides could easily have had very different results.
City had their first opportunity with less than a minute on the clock when Dean Grant made an unchecked run forward and saw his shot pushed over the bar by home keeper Aiden Prall with the resultant corner eventually coming out to the edge of the box where Ben Gorham lifted his shot just too high.
After that initial City attempt it was the home side that started to grab the initiative. A Jamie Billings speculative effort flew well over from thirty-five yards, Emmanuel Oloyede whipped a dangerous looking ball in that Delo took well before another home shot was blocked and the follow up effort then provided a fairly straightforward save down low for the already busy keeper.
In the tenth minute though, the home side were awarded a penalty when Jack Holland swung the ball in from the right and feeling a hand on his back, Luke Tanner collapsed to the floor inviting the referee to make the decision. You could argue that justice was then done when Oloyede blasted the spot-kick high over the City bar to keep the game goalless.
Andres Tobon then fired a ball in that Delo snaffled smartly down by the foot of his near post before City broke the pressure when, from a free-kick, a lovely move involving five or six players ended with Grant just chipping the ball inches over the bar from the edge of the box with Prall looking beaten and worried.
Grant then saw another shot blocked, while at the other end, left-back Ryan Cooper raced across to clear and halt another home attack. On thirty-three minutes, Grant was again, an inch away from scoring for City when a ball forward was inadvertently flicked towards his own goal by the head of a defender and fell perfectly for Grant to latch onto, but with Prall charging out, the striker tried to dink the ball over and past him but a superb reflex dive by the keeper saw him just get enough of his fingertips to the ball and push it away for a defender to clear.
A trio of home corners were all defended away by City although the first did cause them a scare as it arrowed in right underneath the bar and Delo had to react quickly to get half a fist on it to keep it out. City weren't short of opportunities as the half closed though. A free-kick into the home box was punched up rather than out by Prall and eventually found Grant whose effort was deflected out for an unsuccessful corner, while in added time, a Renford Tenyue cross from the left bounced about in the area but nobody from City could get a telling touch before the ball ran loose out to Chris Saunders whose first time volley was on target but Prall dived across to take it with both hands.
There was still time for the home side to spurn a couple of good chances before the break as firstly Tanner took several moments to set himself before smashing a fifteen yard volley high over the bar and then Jack Mahoney won the ball on the right just outside the City box and with options available in the middle he chose to shoot and powered the ball well wide of the far post.
A close fought first half - no goals but with chances at both ends the deadlock should probably have been broken.
Any nerves that were beginning to build for the hosts were quickly dispelled when, just three minutes after the restart, they took the lead. An attack down the right reached the City box and the ball was played across the edge of the area and eventually squeezed out to the left where Jamie Billings, charging forward, suddenly found himself on the overlap and unmarked and cracked a first-time shot hard and low that speared in to the net just inside the post and despite Delo diving across and getting a good hand to it, but he couldn't keep it out and City were behind at 0-1.
Corinthian then put City under considerable pressure as they sought a potential match winning second. A searching ball in from Holland was heading towards the top corner before Delo pushed it over the bar, while Oloyede menacingly cut inside from the left and shot low and very narrowly wide and into the side netting. A free-kick was then fired in by the hosts which Delo did well to push out for a corner under some pressure before displaying some great handling, plucking the ball out of the air as it was sent back in.
City were struggling to get forward during this period but they did win a corner which was flicked on and fell to Saunders who was clattered from behind as he shaped to shoot, the referee only seeing a goal-kick.
The home side looked by far the most likely to score and Oloyede broke from the left and laid the ball off to Jamie Billings who skied the ball well over the City bar from twenty-five yards. Another great chance then passed the hosts by when Oloyede sprinted through the City ranks with the ball, broke into the box and neglecting to find a shooting opportunity as City closed him down whichever way he twisted and turned, he was forced to pass but in doing do, given the opening that he had created, Corinthian were criminally caught offside.
Given all the circumstances, the game should probably have closed right up but that was far from the case. The home side continued to push forward looking for the crucial second and the game opened up but City still couldn't purposely threaten their opponents goal. The hosts saw a free-kick near the corner of the City box easily cleared and then Tobon scuffed a twenty-yarder that trickled through to Delo. City responded with two attacking long throws from Cooper but weren't able to create anything while a counter-attack had City struggling when the ball was smashed against the foot of the post and flew out to Tobon who fired the rebound back in only to see Delo make a good, low, scrambling save down to his left.
City introduced Jordan Casey to try and get some oomph up front but the chances were coming at the other end as Oloyede saw a shot blocked out for a fruitless corner and then moments later, Delo was forced to scurry out of his goal to block away the ball and to thus thwart Oloyede as he chased after a well placed through ball.
With around ten minutes to go City found themselves able to get forward as Corinthians dropped back appearing to have decided to hold what they had and they had their busiest spell of the game attacking wise but alas, no clear-cut chances were created. A ball in from Ben Gorham saw Grant glance a soft header harmlessly wide, while a Tenyue cross was defended away with some ease. An Adam Woollcott free-kick into the home box came to nothing as did a couple of promising crosses as City were completely undermanned and out-numbered in the home box.
As Corinthian slowed everything down and managed the game to it's conclusion, a frustrated City could only manage a Woollcott shot fired wide from twenty-five yards. Saunders then denied Oloyede with a superb defensive block at the expense of a late corner, before deep into stoppage time, City could have thrown the title race wide open when a long throw from Cooper bobbled and bounced about in the Corinthian box for what appeared like ages before being scrambled clear by the hosts to much home relief.
City have now played the top three in four league and cup games in the last few weeks suffering three nil-one defeats and a one-all draw, it's an obvious and easy thing to say - but just how different would everything have been if they could just have stuck the ball in the net more than nought in some or all of those crucial matches!
However there are still six games left to go in April, so no time to brood or wonder, just hope that they find the shooting boots they had against Rusthall and Hollands and Blair when they travel to K Sports next on Saturday.
City: Jack Delo, Michael Turner, Ryan Cooper, Phil Starkey, Ben Gorham, Gary Sayer, Adam Woollcott, Chris Saunders (Owen Fitt), Dean Grant, Kyron Lightfoot (Jordan Casey), Renford Tenyue.

Aerosmith confirmed an appearance on NBC's Today for Aug. 15, including the performance of a live set from New York. It's possible the veteran band could use the national TV platform to announce its 50th anniversary tour.
"The popular, legendary group behind such hits as 'Dream On,' 'I Don't Want to Miss a Thing' and 'Crazy' will rock Today with a performance on Rockefeller Plaza," NBC said in a statement, adding that ticket information would be released soon.
In a recent interview, guitarist Joe Perry explained why Aerosmith had kept a light schedule during 2018. "I think, the way things are going, we are going to try and and take it easy," he said. "We may do a couple more one-offs — maybe some festivals over the next six or eight months. In 2019, we will be closing in on our 50th anniversary, so we are planning some dates and a tour to celebrate that. Right now we are pretty much laying low and finishing up some solo things before we start that."
Their last road trip was called Aero-Vederci Baby!, which appeared to be a halfhearted consideration of a farewell. "The feeling is, right now is gonna be in semi-tour mode for the next few years," Perry said beforehand. "I feel like, at this point, every show could be the last show. You just don't know. ... I always have this attitude, it's gotta be as good as it can be that day. That said, we don't have a day planned where we say, 'Okay, this is the last show.' You can't picture that. On the other hand, I know there will be a last show just like there's a one last time for everything in life."

On Gregorian chant
The relationship of the arts to Christianity yielded liturgical practices in the Middle Ages that survive to this day and which reflect the whole range of aesthetic practice, from the use of vestment colors to the development of more elaborate architectural schemes (including extraordinary stained glass depictions aimed to spiritually and physically elevate the eye toward the heavens) and the organization of sounds and smells (especially incense) that aimed to create an overarching sense of encountering the Divine. At a time when congregants were often illiterate and uneducated, the Church made the Latinate mass accessible by the layering on of liturgical drama and ritual.
All of this evolved into highly specialized practices, and for those (like me) not raised in the Catholic or Anglican tradition, the subtleties of variation and repetition are too easily lost. This is especially true of Gregorian chant (named, of course, for Pope Gregory the Great, who composed and encouraged certain plainsong practices); as WIlliam Mahrt has noted, "although remarkable for its beauty and art, its styles are differentiated according to the purpose of the text which they set. For each kind of text, there is a particular style of singing which has its own rhetoric, differentiating and identifying that text and giving it suitable expression according to its function" (24).
The priest or other cleric sings two kinds of texts – lessons and prayers. For each of these, simple formulae serve to deliver the text clearly and effectively, and at the same time to suggest something of its character. These simple melodies set the grammatical structure of the texts, providing a comma at mid-sentence and a period at the end. The tone for the first lesson, usually from the Prophets, has a certain harshness, and something of the character of a prophecy in the trumpet-like interval of a fifth; its astringent half-step comma gives it an ascetic, even harsh quality we might associate with a prophet… The final lesson, from the Gospel, is sometimes sung to an extremely simple tone, sometimes to a more attractive melody. In either case, the melody distinguishes the Gospel from the previous lessons.
That these and many other structural features of the chants have remained virtually untroubled for almost 1000 years (and the recorded antecedents go back to the late sixth century AD) attests to their continuing spiritual vitality, and more generally to their capacity to induce a sense of the sublime in hearers. Given this, it seems curious that over time, sharp disagreements provoked by the practice of Gregorian chant have sometimes led the Catholic Church to explicitly discourage its use, and chanting within the context of liturgical practice has often been less visible.
Many explanations are offered that can be easily debunked. One common misconception is that Gregorian chant fell totally out of favor during the Renaissance, when polyphonic music came more fully into style, but actually even then (for example, prominently in the French monasteries) chant was still nurtured. Although the Second Vatican Council specifically affirmed the appropriate place of Gregorian chant, another misconception (which arises from the mistaken idea that the Second Vatican outlawed the Latin mass) is that the Church discourages Gregorian chant because it is not performed in the local vernacular. Still, because singing the older versions mean the mass is not being performed in line with the 1969 revisions of the Latin Missal, some uses of chanting have been discouraged.
I often listen to recorded Gregorian chant as I write or read, since I find its rhythms soothing even when I am wholly separated from its sacred context and although I lack enough skill in Latin to closely follow the meaning. It has become popular folklore to say that Gregorian chant produces beta waves in the brain which in turn have a calming and meditative effect; I'm not sure whether that's why I listen or not, but I do find that when I'm listening I can settle more easily into a focused concentration to the task at hand.
As I learn more about the history of Gregorian chanting, I am struck at how many points of contact arise in the scholastic debates with an affinity to current debates over language and rhetoric. The suasory power of chant derives from its full integration within an embodied context of ritual and wide-ranging connections with all the senses (which is to say, chant is not simply an mechanism of the verbal conveyance of meaning). The academic disputes center on issues like the various paths of intellectual diffusion and shifts from orality to literacy that will be very familiar to historians of public address and rhetoric. And scholars of the Gregorian repertory have recently been arguing over the flow of transnational musical discourses in a manner that would be fully recognizable to those at work on globalization topics today.
One of the chief theories, vigorously defended by Kenneth Levy (an emeritus music professor at Princeton and a world-renowned scholar of plainsong), dates the emergence of neumes (the often very precise plainsong notational system) as having its start early, propagated by the early Carolingian Renaissance (the continental aftermath of the reigns of Charlemagne and Louis the Pious); it was the resulting educational reforms of Alcuin at schools designed to culturally reunify Europe that revitalized the ancient trivium – which included rhetoric – as standard educational method. Levy has offered a significant revision in the normal timeline as Gregorian/plainsong practices flowed back and forth across Gallic, Frank, Roman, Hispanic, and Byzantine culture, changing and evolving along the way. He argues that the influence was Gallic-to-Roman and not the other way around. This hypothesis faces something of an uphill battle among musicologists, though it is taken very seriously, because the dominance of Roman intellectual practices means that evidence of influences on intellectually imperial practices flowing in the opposite direction is hard to find (as Levy puts it, "eventual departures from" Roman musical practice "were unlikely to be proclaimed").
The orality-origins thesis did not emerge until championed by Helmut Hucke and Leo Treitler in the late 1970's – before then the assumption was that the original Ur-text version of the chant had been written down from the outset and had simply disappeared. Interestingly, the dawning recognition that chant (like other modes of public address) started in mechanisms of oral delivery preserved by memorization before it was codified as written script follows a very similar trajectory as rhetorical studies, since the orality/literacy thesis made famous by Walter Ong's book on the subject in the early 1980's had already widely circulated thanks to papers he published in the 1960's and early 70's. Because the implications of the arguments over Gregorian chant are considerable for the region's history, Emma Hornby has noted that "scholarly emotions have tended to run high in this debate" (422).
My own interest in Gregorian chant, and a key to my own tendency to return to it over and again, relates to the sense of mystery it evokes precisely because it sung in a language I do not understand. My reactions mirror those reported by the religious sociologist Peter Berger, who found himself curiously moved in the early 70's by a mass done at Stockholm in Swedish: his conclusion (quoting Jacques Janssen) "was that precisely the use of an unknown or incompletely known language heightens and deepens the power of the ritual" (55). Experiences like this led Berger to famously argue that making the worship experience wholly transparent and understandable was also, paradoxically, robbing it of its sacred mystery and trivializing the meaning of the Gospel message. Partly this rests on a sense that when one believes the Divine Other to be wholly comprehensible, then one loses the necessary predicate that some aspects of God remain beyond our cognitive capacity. Berger called attention to the related and more-than-simply-coincidental fact that two of the world's major faith traditions, Islam and Judaism, remain faithfully dedicated to the languages of their origin. [These ideas have a secular counterpart, perhaps best illustrated by Gustav Mahler's decision to strip the titles off his compositions on the view that the titles were overdetermining the reception of the music.]
For me this evokes something of a cognitive dissonance because of my long-standing and negative visceral response to certain Christian fundamentalists who claim to be "speaking in tongues" even though they are not speaking any recognizable foreign language (unlike the kind of miraculous speaking in a foreign language that Peter accomplished at Pentacost when trying to convert a multinational crowd), and who to my ears seem to me hopelessly lost in infantile babble. Can it be that I underestimate the spiritual power of this untranslatable stew? Should I credit its very incomprehensibility as conveying something of the Divine?
I resist such a move.
The allure (at least for me) of Gregorian chant is its ritualized predictability, the fact that I know it to be an effort to use actual words from a different language to bring prayers to life even when one (paradoxically) lacks the capacity to make logical sense of the power of prayer, and this seems to be missing in the more effusively spontaneous eruption into babble. Janssen makes this point very well, I think, in defending the "magic" of Gregorian chant, noting how "the logic of religious language does not reside in its intelligibility, nor in its communicative power. In several religions the liturgical language is understood only by a minority of adepts, and sometimes no one understands what is being said, not even the one who is speaking. It is an old profundity with biblical roots that he who speaks about God will stammer and stutter." Extending the point, Janssen writes,
The magical effect of Gregorian chant is known of old. Even the term "placebo effect" – by now a methodological term to measure magical effectiveness – has been derived from plainsong. Since the Middle Ages the antiphon "Placebo Domino" ("I will please the Lord," Psalm 114, 9), followed by the complete psalm, was sung during vespers in the evening of the day of death. Thus, the text of the antiphon contains the first words to resound in church after someone's death. When the physicians can achieve nothing more, "vigils" are sung, i.e., "placebo" (62).
Janssen elaborates these ideas by noting how Dante's Divina Comedia becomes less intelligible the closer the journey gets to Heaven, as it winds its way toward the Mount of Purification (where Dante says Gregorian chant is heard, at that stopping point between earth and heaven).
The implication, of course, is that language attains its highest intelligibility in hell.

Today, all Pechanga people live in modern houses or apartments, but before the arrival of the Spanish, their ancestors, the Payómkawichum (Luiseño people) lived in kíicha (houses). Kíicha were mainly used for sleeping and as shelter from bad weather. All other daily activities (cooking, weaving, tool-making, etc.) were done outside.
While all kíicha are slightly different due to three different materials they can be made from, they are usually dome- or cone-shaped, and were lined with furs or skins to keep wind and water out. The owners covered the floors with mats made of juncus or tule reeds. A kíicha's door was made of an animal hide or a reed mat. After the arrival of Europeans, some 'ataaxum (Native people) made "ramada-style" kíicha, which look a lot like European cottages, but they were made of native materials (usually willow). Kíicha were repaired as needed, and a well-maintained kíicha could last for many years. When they got too old or too damaged to fix, their owners would burn them and build a new house. A new kíicha usually took a few days to build.
Willow houses are made of willow branches and twigs (with leaves still attached) stuffed between a double-layered willow frame. Willow trees usually grow near waterways. Because willows were so abundant in the Temecula Valley, they were the most commonly used building material in this area. Willow houses were semi-subterranean. The house builders would dig a round, shallow hole about one or two feet deep where they planned to put the house. This served two purposes: it leveled the floor inside the home and helped regulate the temperature inside. Willow houses were found throughout the valley, but were most often built on slight slopes to keep rainwater from collecting inside them.
Cedar bark houses are made of large slabs of cedar bark layered over a frame of vertical poles. Like willow houses, cedar bark houses were constructed over a shallow pit. They were built in the mountains using bark pulled from dead cedar trees. The water-resistant bark is layered three or four slabs deep, and it provides excellent protection from rain, snow, and wind.
Tule houses are made of fresh tule reeds folded and tied over willow frames. Tule, which grows in and near water, makes good houses for the spring and summer. It is water-repellent and keeps the inside of the kíicha cool on hot days.
Tule houses were usually built near lakes and rivers.

The Girl in The Tower
Born in Austin, Texas, Katherine Arden spent her junior year of high school in Rennes, France. Following her acceptance to Middlebury College in Vermont, she deferred enrolment for a year in order to live and study in Moscow. At Middlebury, she specialized in French and Russian literature. After receiving her BA, she moved to Maui, Hawaii, working every kind of odd job imaginable, from grant writing and making crêpes to serving as a personal tour guide. After a year on the island, she moved to Briançon, France, and spent nine months teaching. She then returned to Maui, stayed for nearly a year, then left again to wander. Currently she lives in Vermont, but really, you never know. She is the author of The Bear and the Nightingale and The Girl in the Tower. These novels make up the first two parts of The Winternight Trilogy.

U.S. Appeals Court Clears Torture Memo Author
Author: David KravetsDavid Kravets
Noah Berger
A federal appeals court said Wednesday that John Yoo, the George W. Bush administration lawyer who wrote memos used to rationalize torture of suspected terrorists, cannot be sued by enemy combatants who claim they were tortured.
Yoo, who was the deputy assistant attorney general in the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel from 2001 to 2003, was sued by Jose Padilla, the so-called "dirty bomber." Padilla, an American citizen, claims Yoo's internal legal opinions paved the way for his harsh interrogation while he was secretly held without charges at a Navy brig in South Carolina for more than three years.
A federal judge said in 2009 that Padilla, who was convicted of terror-related charges, could sue Yoo for damages because his lawsuit "has alleged sufficient facts to satisfy the requirement that Yoo set in motion a series of events that resulted in the deprivation of Padilla's constitutional rights." Yoo's memos concluded that techniques such as prolonged sleep deprivation, binding in stress positions, and waterboarding did not amount to torture.
Hearing Yoo's appeal, a three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals agreed with Yoo's contention that he should be immune from the suit because it was not clearly established that harsh treatment was unconstitutional. Padilla claims he "suffered gross physical and psychological abuse" by government authorities, which included death threats, psychotropic drugs, shackling and manacling, and being subjected to noxious fumes and constant surveillance.
"It was not 'beyond debate' at that time that Padilla – who was not a convicted prisoner or criminal defendant, but a suspected terrorist designated an enemy combatant and confined to military detention by order of the president – was entitled to the same constitutional protections as an ordinary convicted prisoner or accused criminal," Judge Raymond Fisher wrote for the 3-0 appeals court.
Fisher added that, even today, "it remains murky whether an enemy combatant detainee may be subjected to conditions of confinement and methods of interrogation that would be unconstitutional if applied in the ordinary prison and criminal settings."
Yoo, now a University of California, Berkeley law professor, said in an e-mail that Padilla now "will need to find a new hobby for his remaining time in prison."
The appellate court's decision, he said, "confirms that this litigation has been baseless from the outset. For several years, Padilla and his attorneys have been harassing the government officials he believes to have been responsible for his detention and ultimately conviction as a terrorist."
Padilla, of Brooklyn, was charged originally in connection to an al-Qaeda plot to unleash a radioactive "dirty bomb" in the United States. Padilla is serving a 17-year sentence after being convicted of unrelated charges of conspiring to commit murder overseas.

Big Tech Companies Are Defying Texas' Vaccine Mandate Ban
October 25, 2021 October 24, 2021 Admin
Major tech companies are continuing to require their employees to be vaccinated at their Texas facilities, in violation of Gov. Greg Abbott's executive order banning all vaccine mandates.
Abbott signed an executive order on Oct. 11 prohibiting "any entity," including private businesses, government contractors and local schools, from imposing a requirement that employees be vaccinated as a condition of employment. However, Google, Facebook, HPE, Twitter and Lyft have yet to lift their vaccine mandates in response to the order, Protocol first reported.
HPE spokesman Adam Bauer confirmed the company had not changed its vaccine policy, and told the Daily Caller News Foundation that the company was making "vaccination a condition of employment for U.S. team members to comply with President Biden's executive order and remain in good standing as a federal contractor."

Commentary: Like His Hero, FDR, Joe Biden Shambles His Way Through History, Leaving the World to Wonder Who is Captaining this Ship of State
The distant eyes and slack mouth, the befuddled shuffle off the walkway, recurrent unexplained schedule gaps and public disappearances, and off-the-wall comments finally make Joe Biden a pale copy of his hero, Franklin D. Roosevelt.
In wrapping up a war and realigning the world order, the first eight months of Biden as president resemble the last years of Roosevelt—except that FDR was on the cusp of victory against an avowed enemy.

These nine projects make for wonderful holiday gifts, whether you make them for friends and family (with the help of children!) or you create them for the members of your own dear home.
The best part is: each craft has a story that goes along!
This week's craft is a good example of using something you might throw away — an old pair of socks — and makes it into a new toy for a child. It's a quick project to make for your child and it would also be a great first sewing project for older kids!
These adorable little snowmen are a great activity for a cold day spent indoors. The Sculpy is easy and fun for little hands to shape.
Sometimes we all need a little reminder of the value of who we are. Whether you call it a "mantra" or "choosing a word" to focus on, it's always nice to have a reminder of what makes you unique when life gets difficult. These bracelets put that chosen word right where you'll see it every day - in a colorful morse code!
Would you like to design and build a little town of your own? Why not start with some handmade wooden buildings!
Cowls are great for kids because, unlike a scarf, they will stay put for running and play. They're also quick to knit!
With a few fabric scraps and a little time at the sewing machine, you can make your own stuffed friend, or even a whole stuffed menagerie!
Our recipe is great for soothing skin, whether dry from winter weather or itchy from insect bites. Milk is combined with oatmeal for an extra punch of moisturizing goodness.
With just a little time spent at the workbench and behind the sewing machine, you can create a collapsible play tent for your little ones. Perfect for a surprise holiday gift!
Start a family portrait wall with these colorful silhouettes! Littles can easily help create the colorful paper.
