Colón-Emeric was the first Latino to be ordained as elder in the North Carolina Conference of the United Methodist Church, and he currently serves on the Board of Ordained Ministry. He frequently speaks at Latino/a pastoral retreats to support the development of Hispanic ministries in the North Carolina conference. He was the founding pastor of Cristo Vive UMC in Durham, N.C.
But his vision for ministry extends beyond North Carolina. Through his leadership in several Methodist theological initiatives in Latin America, members of the Duke community have the opportunity to teach and provide theological education for Methodist church leaders throughout Central America. He is the director of the Methodist Course of Study hosted by the Evangelical Methodist Church of El Salvador, which trains pastors in Honduras, Nicaragua, Guatemala, El Salvador, and Panama. He also directs the Methodist Pastoral Certificate Program in Guatemala.
Many students in the Th.D. program have gained teaching experience through Colón-Emeric's leadership of the Duke-Peru Theological Initiative, a partnership between the Methodist Church of Peru and Duke Divinity School. Doctoral students also receive an expanded vision of training clergy – beyond the borders of North Carolina and the U.S. – as they support the work of the Seminario Teológico Wesleyano to prepare ministers to serve churches in Peru.
"I am an ecumenist because despite the sinful history of racism and denominationalism, despite the persistent laments of mainline Christianity's decline, despite the ideological polarization of faith into conservative versus liberal, I hope that the church will be one," he says. From his scholarship to his service to the church, Colón-Emeric helps people "make Christian unity visible" as a witness to the transformation possible by the Triune God.


You may have heard the phrase "First impressions last" a few times in the past. When it comes to homes, the first impression you make is often in the form of your front yard and lawn. If you have a shabby and unkempt front yard, chances are, people will think that you, as the homeowner, are shabby and unkempt too.
You can make a good first impression on everyone, and reap other benefits as well, with a front yard makeover. If you feel that your front yard is in need of rework, then you have come to the right place. Superior Landscaping employs a team of landscape architects who can help you not only beautify your front yard, but also do so with your ideas in consideration.
Designing for a front yard makeover is not as easy as it may seem, however our landscape architects know exactly what is needed to help give your yard the "facelift" it needs.

Bizarre as it may sound, this is an incredibly dangerous pastime, particularly if you do it in India or Pakistan. In 2005 the Pakistani government banned the flying of kites during the famous Basant festival due to the high number of deaths that had occurred as a direct result of it in previous years. 9 fatalities in 2004, and 20 in 2005. The danger arises as kites are flown from rooftops, which leads to falls, and also because the kites fight against each in mid-air. As this is taken very seriously, some competitors have taken to using razor wire rather than just sting to best arm their kites for combat. The dangerous implications of this are obvious. The people revolted against the government's decision to ban kite flying and it was reintroduced in 2007. Ten people died.
It might be an Olympic sport and a staple part of any high school's track and field programme, but this is much more dangerous than it seems. There may be a nicely cushioned pad waiting to catch the fall of the athlete, but they have to get there first. The chances of the pole snapping mid jump are higher than you would expect, and the run up itself presents a whole world of possibly fatal complications. It looks amazingly elegant when it all comes off, but you might want to stick to the walking race, also an Olympic sport!
The premise is simple; you find yourself a nice, often illegally accessed, extremely high place, and then jump from it with only a simple parachute to break your uncontrolled free fall to the waiting earth below. In most countries this activity is not surprisingly a crime, but there are still those who cannot help but practise it, with an estimated 15 to 20 deaths each year. For the aficionado it is the ultimate exercise in bravery and fearlessness, for others it is just plain stupid.
It is the great winter passion of millions but it is also the sport that leaves one of the highest number of injuries and fatalities in its wake. Over 10 thousand Brits are injured skiing each year and with an average of over 30 deaths annually there is certainly more than just what outfit you are going to wear to be worried about when you head out to the piste. In fact it is probably only when taking your airport transfer to your resort that you are truly free from any ski related danger. Misfiring lifts, avalanches, innocuous falls; you just don't know where best to look when trying to avoid danger on the slopes.
It is a massively popular spectator sport but its danger level is almost equally high. The bikes that the most competitive riders race on are called Super Bikes and they absolutely fly round tight corners at the most ridiculous speeds. Fatalities are not all uncommon and nobody is immune from danger, with one of Moto GP's biggest names, Marco Simoncelli, being killed on track only last year. And the world famous Isle of Man TT Races have claimed more than 200 lives in less than a hundred years of competition. It's exciting, but is it worth it?

Q: openssh, permitting some users to use sftp with passwords and limited privileges I have a linux host with openssh that permits users to login with public key.
AuthenticationMethods publickey

But now I have some users who will need to access the host as a file drop using sftp.  In addition, these users will user passwords rather than key pairs.
I make all of these users belong to the group sftp_users.
an_sftp_user@myhost.example.com:~$ id
uid=1005(an_sftp_user) gid=1007(an_sftp_user) groups=1007(an_sftp_user),1006(sftp_users)
an_sftp_user@myhost.example.com:~$ groups
an_sftp_user sftp_users
an_sftp_user@myhost.example.com:~$

Now I create the file /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/sftp_users.conf owned by root, 0644:
Match Group sftp_users
  X11Forwarding no
  AllowTcpForwarding no
  AuthorizedKeysCommand /bin/true
  AuthenticationMethods keyboard-interactive
  PasswordAuthentication yes
  ChrootDirectory /sftp-incoming

What I want this to do is to permit users in the group sftp_users to be able to connect with password and access /sftp-incoming.
What actually happens is that I see a message server side in auth.log that says merely that the connection was closed and, client side, I see (using sftp -v) that it tries the certificates it finds in $HOME/.ssh (I've disabled my ssh-agent for these tests) but never tries password login.
Indeed, one line is this:
debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey

So somehow my Match is not being satisfied or not being seen.  But I'm unclear why.
Any suggestions where I've gone wrong?
Update
The solution from @Gogowitsch largely answers this, especially the note that sftp-internal is, well, internal to openssh and so doesn't need a binary to be available in my chroot jail.  Also important was to discover that chroot requires that the chain of directories be 0755 root all the way down, so I had to sort some permissions.
His suggestion to put the config all in the one sshd_config file was also helpful.  Indeed, once it was working, moving that block back to a config file and using Include to include it fails without error.  The block simply isn't used.  I'm using 8.2:
OpenSSH_8.2p1 Ubuntu-4ubuntu0.1, OpenSSL 1.1.1f  31 Mar 2020

which claims to support Include (present since 7.3p1 and apparently committed on 1 Feb 2020 (prior to 31 Mar 2020).

A: I see these immediate issues:

*

*The order of directives. Try putting the Match Group sftp_users at the very end of the file /etc/ssh/sshd_server instead of a file in the sshd_server.d. This is because the last AuthenticationMethods seems to win.

*The AuthenticationMethods should contain password. This is apparently what allows the password login.

*When using the ChrootDirectory directive, you also have to use the following line within your Match Group sftp_users block:
ForceCommand internal-sftp

This is because the /sftp-incoming becomes the actual root of the file system to all commands. By default, the SSH server attempts to run a binary such as /usr/lib/openssh/sftp-server. From the perspective of the chroot'ed filesystem, there probably isn't any such file.

Potentially, you'll also have to run the following command to make sure that the /sftp-incoming directory cannot be accessed by 'other' (the last digit in the octal 0750):
chmod 0750 /sftp-incoming

As an experimental setup, I used the following Dockerfile:
FROM ubuntu

RUN apt-get update && \
    apt-get install -yq openssh-sftp-server openssh-server

# Create two users, first has no password, second has the password "1".
# This will also create the home directory for the sftp user.
RUN echo | adduser only-passwordless-user && \
    echo | adduser only-with-password-user --home /sftp-incoming/only-with-password-user && \
    echo only-with-password-user:1 | chpasswd && \
    addgroup sftp_users && \
    adduser only-with-password-user sftp_users

# These are needed so that sshd is happy. Otherwise,
# it likes to say "bad ownership or modes for chroot directory"
RUN mkdir -p -m0755 /var/run/sshd && \
    chown root:root /sftp-incoming && \
    chmod 0750 /sftp-incoming

RUN echo AuthenticationMethods publickey >> /etc/ssh/sshd_config && \
    printf "Match Group sftp_users                                \n\
            ForceCommand internal-sftp                            \n\
            X11Forwarding no                                      \n\
            AllowTcpForwarding no                                 \n\
            AuthorizedKeysCommand /bin/true                       \n\
            AuthenticationMethods keyboard-interactive password   \n\
            PasswordAuthentication yes                            \n\
            ChrootDirectory /sftp-incoming                        \n\
           " >> /etc/ssh/sshd_config  # cannot be ".d/sftp_users.conf"

# Start a single-connection debug server.
# Remove the -d parameter to make it long-lived but quiet.
ENTRYPOINT /usr/sbin/sshd -d

You can start a sshd running on port 2200 using this command:
docker build . -t ssh-test && docker run -it --name ssh-test -p2200:22 --rm ssh-test bash

To connect to it using sftp, run this:
sshpass -p1 sftp -P 2200 only-with-password-user@127.0.0.1

iChat 6.0 in Lion finally adds built-in support for Yahoo's instant messaging service.
For example, iChat 6.0 allows you to sign into the Yahoo instant messaging platform. The integration is complete: You see your Yahoo buddies' avatars, availability and current chat status. iChat already offered out-of-the-virtual-box support for the AIM, me.com, Mac.com and Google Talk IM networks. The software also includes Jabber support, which means you can use iChat to connect to other IM networks—including Facebook Chat. Adium offers built-in Facebook support; iChat still requires that you configure Facebook Chat manually.
Even more welcome than the addition of Yahoo support is iChat's implementation of a unified buddy list. Most of us don't mentally organise our friends by which IM service they use; iChat's former reliance on separating them that way made little sense. iChat 6.0 combines all your friends into a single list, which is an improvement, but still falls short in comparison to Adium.
There's no obvious way to distinguish which service a friend is logged into just by looking at your buddy list. (Adium can show a service icon next to each buddy's name.) And if you have a friend with accounts on multiple services, iChat's approach for combing your friends' accounts into a single buddy entry on your list isn't as intuitive as Adium's. In Adium, you drag usernames on top of each other to merge them. In iChat, you must Command-click on each name, and then choose 'Add to Address Book as One Card' from the contextual or Buddies menu. Do that, and you'll lose any custom name you've given the contact (say, 'John Smith' instead of 'jsmith88′), requiring you to edit it all over again.
Type Command-F, and then start typing the name of the buddy you're after.
Some interactions that iChat still clings to, however, are head-scratchingly odd. I refer, of course, to the 'Accept' paradigm: Whenever you receive an IM to start a conversation—that is, an IM from someone with whom you aren't currently engaged in an active chat window—iChat pops up a new window, asking you to approve or reject the initiated conversation. It's annoying, and iChat's employed this bizarre behaviour for as long as I can remember.
Apple first introduced FaceTime for Mac late in Snow Leopard's tenure. Back when the desktop edition of Apple's iPhone and iPad video conferencing technology was introduced, some of us wondered whether the FaceTime app would one day merge with iChat. The answer from Apple has thus far been a resounding 'no.' Lion's incarnation of FaceTime—version 1.1—doesn't differ much from the Mac App Store version of the video-conferencing tool for Snow Leopard. In fact, the only notable change between the version in the Mac App Store and the version included with Lion is the introduction of support for Lion's full-screen mode while video chatting.
FaceTime and iChat are two different beasts. FaceTime still only works for video chatting; you can't use the software for sending instant messages or audio chatting. And FaceTime—unlike iChat—lacks any notion of 'online now': You can't know if your contact is available until you try to place the call. On the plus side, FaceTime lets you place calls not just to other Mac users with the software installed, but also to late-model iOS device users as well.


In the past decade, Benetti has produced more than 100 yachts longer than 80 feet, amassing a total footage that easily bests the output of any other builder. This disparity should only increase in the coming years, as the Italian yacht company rolls out its all-new Class series.
Benetti's longtime architect, Stefano Righini, conceived the Tradition 105 with family and friends in mind. The 105-foot vessel features three-and-a-half decks and a sizable salon and dining room for large groups of guests. And whereas virtually every other yacht about this size has four staterooms, the Tradition offers five, including an owner's suite with a separate dressing room. The suite affords panoramic views of the sea through a forward-facing, wraparound window, which further contributes to the yacht's sense of openness.
Considering the many desirable features on the Class-series boats—and Benetti's popularity with buyers of large vessels—the yachts will likely be located in marinas worldwide.

Smallest of jets: research shows potential of 'nanojets' for smaller circuitry & injecting genes
Nanojets for Smaller Circuits & Gene Injection
Liquid jets a few nanometers in diameter could one day be used for producing ever-smaller electronic circuitry, injecting genes into cells, etching tiny features and even serving as fuel injectors for microscopic engines.
But on these smallest of size scales, physical processes are often different than at larger scales, forcing engineers to reconsider both their expectations of how such nanoscale devices would perform -- and the established physical equations governing them.
Writing in the August 18 issue of the journal Science, Georgia Institute of Technology researchers suggest that jets as small as six nanometers in diameter may be possible to produce, though these tiny devices would require special conditions to operate and be particularly sensitive to effects not of concern at more familiar size scales.
"We are now being driven by fundamental, technological and economical considerations to explore and evaluate systems that are smaller and smaller," explained Dr. Uzi Landman, director of Georgia Tech's Center for Computational Materials Science. "We need to understand these systems, because basic physics issues are especially important to them. There is no point in trying to make devices of this size scale without knowing what their physical behaviors and fundamental limitations are going to be."
To study jets just a few nanometers in diameter, Landman and collaborator Michael Moseler used molecular dynamics simulations to observe how some 200,000 propane (C3H8) molecules would behave when compressed within a tiny reservoir and then injected out of a narrow nozzle made of gold. Operating on an IBM SP-2 parallel processing computer, the simulations recorded the dynamics of the fluid molecules on the femtosecond time scale over periods of several nanoseconds.
The researchers first faced problems producing extended jets from the propane reservoir, to which they had applied 500 MegaPascals (5,000 Atmospheres) of pressure. Their simulations suggest that the jet would quickly clog as a film several molecules thick formed on the outer surface of the nozzle.
"A key to the formation of these jets is fighting certain phenomena that occur upon exit of the jets from the nozzle," Landman noted. "Films condensing on the nozzle exterior surfaces start to thicken and eventually block further outflow from the nozzle. Such films are not of great concern on the macroscopic scale, but become key to the ability to form nanoscale jets."
To counter formation of the films, the researchers heated the outer surface of the nozzle to evaporate the film. In real-world applications, it may be possible alternatively to apply a coating that would prevent the propane molecules from adhering to the outer surface.
Once able to maintain the flow of propane, the researchers studied the properties of their simulated nanojets. Among the findings:
Jets exiting from the nozzle into a simulated vacuum achieved a relatively high velocity of up to 400 meters per second.
Friction of the pressurized fluid moving through the nozzle heats the propane, turning it to "a very hot fluid." Upon exit from the nozzle, rapid evaporation of molecules from the surface cools the jets, reducing their diameter by about 25 percent.
After exit from the nozzle, instabilities caused by thermal fluctuations affect the jets' shape. Each jet forms a series of "necks" that cause it to resemble "links of sausage connected to one another." Ultimately, one of the necks "pinches off" and a droplet of propane separates itself from the jet.
The jets remain intact, propagating as a whole over shorter distances than would macroscopic jets under similar conditions. Landman and Moseler observed jets extending 150-200 nanometers, in contrast to results of deterministic Navier-Stokes calculations predicitng 500-nanometer-long jets. These observations matched the researchers' predictions based on modifications of the hydrodynamic equations to include the effect of stress fluctuations.
As they break up, the jets form droplets of remarkably uniform size. Noted Landman: "In applications such as fuel injectors, this is a very important aspect because of the issue of efficient burning of the droplets."
In a second phase of their work, the researchers attempted to reconcile the predictions of traditional fluid dynamics equations -- that is, Navier-Stokes -- to their observations. They found that these equations did not account for the effect of thermally-induced fluctuations which significantly affect the stability of nanojets. These fluctuations are of much less importance at larger size scales.
"At the small length scale that we are dealing with here, fluctuations become amplified," Landman said. "There are always fluctuations or noise in all natural phenomena. But as the scale of the physical system decreases, then the amplitude of the relative effect of such fluctuations becomes stronger and stronger."
Reformulating the hydrodynamic equations allowed Landman and Moseler to properly describe what they had observed in their atomistic simulations. Their modified equations can now be used by other researchers to predict the behavior of nanojets of other materials under other conditions.
"With this fluctuating description, hydrodynamics becomes valid even on the molecular scale," Landman said.
In certain real-world applications, the jets would be formed under conditions where they may collide with molecules in the ambient environment. Such collisions may somewhat reduce the length of the jets, and cause additional perturbations, he added.
As a next step, the researchers would like to create nanojets experimentally and use them to apply patterns that could replace current lithographic processes in the manufacture of nanoscale miniaturized circuits. They could potentially also be used as "gene guns" to insert genetic materials into cells without causing damage.
"They could be very economical and perhaps allow one to achieve things that are not available technologically any other way," Landman added.
The work is supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, the U.S. Air Force Office of Scientific Research and in part by the Deutsche Forshungsgemeinschaft.

Forum Monthly Award
Thread starter electrolyte
The Ghost of MTurk Past
Hey! We want to start a monthly award here to honor members who are awesome and contribute to building our community. However, we need and want your input on how to set this up so that it's fun, fair, and enjoyable for everyone.
A few concerns: In thinking about fairness, we considered the maybe the award should be given to the person who posts the most HITs. However, this could lead to people repeatedly sharing the same HIT or sharing not-so-good HITs in an attempt to drive up their numbers. We thought about having a voting system where people can nominate others and then vote. But this may lead to more popular member winning and deserving but less popular members being overlooked. We also want to be able to recognize members who may not share HITs but instead answer questions or otherwise contribute to the overall community.
That's why we're asking you! Do you have any ideas about what kind of monthly award system you'd like to see? What do you think would work well to help recognize great members? Thanks!

One theoretical way you could prevent people from simply sharing the same hit is to try and set up a system so that only the first instance of a hit is counted. So anyone who subsequently shares doesn't get credit for it and also a person is prevented from posting the same hit over and over again. The second problem is a bit harder to solve. You could have it where people who do the hit report an hourly and anyone who has an average hourly below some threshold is out of the running. That still leaves the problem of it completely overlooks the people who are helping in non hit sharing ways.
I think the best option would be to go one of 2 routes. Have the moderators directly pick a list of people to vote for and let everyone else vote on them. The other option might be have people nominate a list of contestants for consideration by the mods and have the mods choose the winner. You could also combine those 2 into a multi part thing so say have the forum nominate a list of people, have the moderators pare down that list, and then have a vote from the forum at large.
I would also agree with only allowing people to win a certain number of times per year.

The hourly rate thing just seems like a good way to make people post fewer HITs. It's also really subjective and doesn't take in to consideration things like surveys with 2 versions, or batch HITs that require cherry picking, or even things like Virals, where the hourly rate fluctuates based on the length of the video.
I think the best potential method would be to add a "Supremely Good HIT" button (or whatever superlative that communicates the message).
People post HITs. When someone posts a really good HIT, members hit the "Supremely Good HIT" button. At the end of the month, the person with the most "Supremely Good HIT" clicks would be the HIT Provider Of The Month.
Only potential issue I see is that the number would have to reset each month.

@Kadauchi made a thingy to add up a basic total (more reflective of surveys, I assume) of all the HIT dollar values posted on MTC each day, he'd probably be able to make a thingy to add up the number of times someone received that kind of rating each day, if he wanted to and there were a need...
But there's just no way to do a perfectly-fair way to determine this kind of thing numerically though, because this would depend on people coming back after seeing how good the HIT turned out to be, and clicking that button vs one of the other rating buttons, and doing so on the first person who posted that HIT (there were a few occasions where I was the first to post a damn good HIT on MTG, and either nobody or one person 'awesomed' it, then later someone else reposted it and got a bunch of 'awesomes', so I know these things happen...).

It's true. This will never be 100 percent objective. Even if people don't forget, there's always the chance that someone will with hold their Awesome HIT vote because of pettiness.

@Kadauchi
That might be one area where you could implement the whole only first person gets the credit. Not sure how feasible it would be to track all the hits posted, but if you could just assign each hit to the person who first posted it and any subsequent awesoming of that hit is credited to the first poster.
I guess that would all come down to how clever kadauchi's programming can get, heh.
My concern would be in that some HITs show up multiple times throughout the day, or a batch reloads under the same ID.
Someone posts an awesome HIT at 2 in the morning. They get Awesome'd.
The same HIT shows up at 11:00 and someone else posts it, but the first person gets Awesome'd again?

I can do that. I also can weight hits based on their TO, so someone posting a 1.00 average HITs would be worth less than a 3.50 average. I have most of this code already written for other things I do, so its all pretty easy for me to add into the forum info script.
Since all posts have times, a delay could be set in and the awesome could get reset after 6hrs or whatever is deemed enough time which can solve that.
The issue with a lot of the suggestions is that they end up leaning towards HITs, which is why (I assume) that MTG had two separate monthly awards. This affects people like myself and @clickhappier a lot since we rarely post any HITs, but do all sorts of stuff in the background for the forum, (nothing out side the daily hit thread exists), and contribute with scripts or otherwise. I do like the idea of a single award though. Maybe you can use empirical HIT data for more of an acknowledgement or something.

Have the moderators directly pick a list of people to vote for and let everyone else vote on them. The other option might be have people nominate a list of contestants for consideration by the mods and have the mods choose the winner.
The problem with this is favoritism. We were accused of this several times on MTG because we were often taking part in the nominations. We weren't really picking favorites, but we were just trying to nominate people that we thought were helpful and were being overlooked. Yet the accusations were still there, and it was even implied that we were influencing the voting somehow by nominating certain members. If we're going to have a community award, I would rather have that award come from the community, without the need for staff involvement (I'm not saying the staff can't be involved. I just don't want the staff to have any more influence over who wins than anyone else does.)
The problem with using a button like that for eligibility or even to determine a winner, as was pretty evident on MTG, is that it is suuuuch a headache to make sure that the button is being used properly. People would start using it on posts that didn't include HITs and the moderators would have to remove them all. It would get bad enough that we would constantly have to yell at people to stop, and we were even considering resorting to bans at one point. It was just a mess that I don't think any of us really care to repeat here.
Reactions: clickhappier and kryss
Hm, I didn't notice the staff-nominated people winning particularly more often than the non-staff's nominations; especially since the nominations were re-posted in the voting thread without saying who they came from. I believe both of my wins there were from non-staff nominations those times. Haven't actually gone back through all the past results to say for sure, though, but I doubt most people even remembered who nominated whom when they went to vote, other than if they nominated someone themselves.
So it sounds like we're down to 'let non-staff people nominate people, and then everybody votes', with maybe some sort of kadauchi-scored HIT-posting recognition as a second award. There's no perfect solution that can please everybody on this, but the MTG awards seemed to be well-liked overall despite a few complainants.
...It looks like this is going to pretty much be a popularity contest, in one way or another, no matter what you do. Because all of the stuff that's been proposed to keep things objective are subject to futzing. Averaging in the hourly rate require people to report their hourly rate and could easily be skewed one way or the other just based on personal variables. Basing it on TO scores is similarly problematic, because a good HIT can have shit TO and vice versa. Trusting people to use a button responsibly is unrealistic.
Which is OK. Theoretically people who are unhelpful and obnoxious aren't going to be particularly popular anyway.
Reactions: Jaded and clickhappier
Right right I was thinking about it from more of a survey rather than batch perspective, which is odd I almost never do surveys anyway. I'd say maybe based on number of hits in the batch, but there are surveys now with multiple hits in the batch. Not really sure there is a good solution for this. At least not one that can be automated to any high degree.
And the earlier someone posts a batch, the better, but it might not be done loading for a while (number of HITs in it still increasing)...
Well I was meaning assigning value. I was thinking any batch posted and liked would go to whoever posted that batch and got liked, but surveys would go to the first person who posted the survey. We would call anything that had greater than 1 hit a batch, but that isn't perfect.
Setting aside the whole issue of "how do we count what is a great HIT and how many times it's posted and at what frequency or not", I think we want the award to be also about awesome members who don't necessarily post the best/fastest/most HITs. There are plenty of members who contribute by helping others, writing content, scripts, answering questions, and aren't posting HITs. I don't want the award to come down to simply who posts the top number of HITs as calculated by a scraping script set up a specific way. That doesn't take into consideration awesome members who aren't prolific HIT posters.

How do you make something from nothing? Or from something that appears to be nothing? African American slaves may not have owned property, but no one could prevent them from storing, remembering, recounting, and, over time, creating and re-creating their own cultural property in the form of songs, stories, and belief systems. They used narratives and other forms of expressive culture not just to strategize and survive, but also to create symbolic and imaginative spaces to which they could escape, almost like an alternate universe, where they could live and breathe. "The entire sacred world of the black slaves," American historian Lawrence Levine writes, "created the necessary space between the slaves and their owners and were the means of preventing legal slavery from becoming spiritual slavery." These were anything but the much-heralded public spaces of freedom that are the signature of democratic societies. Instead, they were private arenas, imaginary playgrounds, secular as well as sacred, in the fields, by the fire, and in cabins. Song and story emerged, often in the form of narratives encoded with symbolic meaning—things made up for the purpose of diverting and entertaining, and also for focusing and concentrating propulsive energies that could not be contained.

HIT Entertainment, one of the world's leading children's entertainment producers and rights owners and a subsidiary of Mattel, Inc., has announced the latest CGI feature length Thomas & Friends™ special Tale of The Brave which is set for release on DVD on September 1 in the UK; on digital HD on September 9 and on Blu-ray™ combo pack with DVD, Digital HD & Ultraviolet™ on September 16 in the US and Canada (Universal Studios Home Entertainment); and across other international territories including Australia, Germany, Benelux, Mexico and Brazil by the end of 2014.
In a spectacular new adventure, Tale of The Brave showcases the engines on a dramatic journey to discover what it truly means to be brave. The 60-minute movie is the first under direction of BAFTA award winning producer, Michael Carrington, and introduces a host of new characters including an unusual engine with sloping boilers, called Gator. This will be supported by Thomas & Friends regional partners worldwide and coordinated across all lines of the HIT business.
In Tale of the Brave, Thomas and his friends face their fears in their boldest adventure yet! After a monstrous storm on the Island of Sodor, a landslide unearths some very unusual footprints. Thomas and Percy are eager to find out what could have made these marks but obstacles and danger seem to appear around every bend in the track. With the help of new friends, a little digging, and a heap of courage, they discover the surprising answer and, along the way, uncover the true meaning of bravery.
To support this pre-school event, Fisher-Price™, Mega Bloks, and best-in-class licensees around the world, including Ravensburger, Random House and Egmont will create 27 tie-inTale of the Brave themed consumer products across toys, books, games, engines, construction sets, apparel, bedding and accessories.

A dedicated Tale of the Brave microsite is set to launch globally in August. This site will feature new games such as Marion's Mystery Dig, printable activities, video previews and character reveals. Tale of The Brave will be profiled through the use of themed activity sheets at over 250 Day Out With Thomas events across the UK.
Screenings of the movie will take place in over 80 Vue cinemas across the UK and Ireland in the lead up to the DVD release. There will also be a celebrity filled, blue carpet launch event in London's Leicester Square. The US broadcast premiere of Tale of the Brave will be on PBS KIDS (check local listings). In Mexico, Tale of the Brave will be premiered at aThomas & Friends themed kids and family event, with cinema screenings to follow in Mexico City, Monterrey and Guadalajara. The movie will also be broadcast on Televisa in November, and in Brazil on SBT and TV Cultura.
Kate Schlomann, VP Global Brand, HIT Entertainment said "We are extremely excited to introduce Tale of the Brave this September; with new direction from Michael Carrington the movie lifts the bar offering viewers engaging storytelling with more dynamic and compelling animation. Together with HIT partners, we look forward to offering an array of themed consumer products and events across all channels including retail, live events, broadcast, digital and social media."

Now that back to school season is in full swing, not only do parents have to focus on getting their children back on a daily routine, they also need to brace themselves for the inevitable: the back-to-school sicknesses that are all too common this time of year.
We've all been there. Dealing with children with itchy eyes, shortness of breath, coughs, chest pain, and sniffly noses. It seems that no matter what you do, your child will always come down with a cold that puts your whole home out of whack. But, luckily, there are some fool-proof tips and tricks that can help you prevent illness right where it starts, the germ-filled classroom.
A great time to keep your child's vaccinations up to date is during the back to school season. Being completely vaccinated will give your child a boost when it comes to fighting off any sicknesses their classmates have.
A healthy diet is the best way to maintain a healthy immune system. Feed your child healthy foods, including a complete breakfast, every day so they can stay strong.
Along with healthy food, staying properly hydrated is crucial for flushing toxins out of the body and for staying alert. Pack a water bottle for your child's lunch, and encourage that they refill it a couple times during the school day so they have enough energy.
It sometimes is unrealistic to assume your child will wash their hands every time they need to. So stock them up with some hand sanitizer, which will at least keep germs off their hands until they have time to properly wash.
If it looks like your child is coming down with a cold make sure to head to a 24 hour walk in clinic right away. Not only are these clinics more flexible when it comes to seeing medical professionals right away, they are cheaper than you'd expect. Average reimbursement for an urgent care visit is about $103 per patient, compared to $302 of a hospital's ER.
The best way to ensure your child's illness doesn't get worse is to make sure they stay home, where the germs can't find them. If you're still worried, head to a 24 hour walk in clinic at the first sign of sickness, and your child will be in good hands in no time.

I live in Santaquin, Ut. I graduated from Payson High School in 2013 where I was actively involved with the Future Farmers of America. I started out raising roller pigeons in 2008 and then got into showing Red/Yellow West of England Tumblers with the Utah Pigeon Club and National Pigeon Association. In 2010 I started racing homing pigeons competitively in 2010 with the Utah County Racing Pigeon Association and Utah County Combine. My first crack at roller competition was in 2012 and was definitely a learning experience. If you want to know more about my methods and family I'm flying visit hwsbirds.webs.com.

Q: Perform a PHP loop every X seconds I have the user type in how often they want a message sent as defined by the $time variable
This is the loop code I have right now
$time = $_POST["time"];

for ($x = 0; $x < $amount; $x++) {
    mail($completenum, $subject, $message, $headers);
    sleep($time);

}

The issue with this code is that the messages never get sent through, I believe it's because the sleep function halts the script. Any ideas?

A: PHP isn't really the correct language for this, you want to try javascript or similar.
PHP is designed to let you dynamically build a page when it is loaded. By putting a sleep in there, you're delaying the load time of the page, and the server and/or browser is eventually going to time out - pages aren't expected to take excessively long times to load, and that usually indicates an error. Different browsers are going to do different things, and you'd need to modify the timeout settings on everything if the delay is a long one.
A scripting language that keeps running in the browser is going to be able to kick something off periodically like you want, and even update the page - you want code that keeps executing AFTER the page is loaded.
Alternately, if you want PHP only, your PHP code could store the request in a database, and then you could have another 'processing' page that you hit periodically with a cron job or similar in the background, which sends out the emails as per the time delay. There are ways to achieve what you want with PHP only, depending on the actual end result you're after, but putting a sleep() into the loading of a page like this is unlikely to be a reliable solution.

MET´s high efficiency heat exchang-er innovation prototyped and tested as aluminum radiators. With Aluminum's unique features, Alumina have esthetic, unique designed profiles that enable high heat transfer. We can size and color our radiators according to customer needs. Our lean and simple manufacturing pro-cess reduced our costs.
Our innovation is the way we manufacture our heat exchanger. In our alu-minum extruded heat exchangers, heat transfer fluid is carried with a single piece fluid carrier. Being a single piece fluid carrier, Alumina heat exchangers have no mechanical connections neither welds or solders. Hence we can ac-commodate higher pressures. With this unique feature we can also carry corro-sive fluids in our exchangers.
Our heat exchanger is used across all industries, and able to manage a multiple of hot and cold side fluids, Alumina heat exchanger provides the per-fect solution to a wide range of industrial and domestic application needs. The fluid carrier patterns are particularly well suited to fluids in the lower viscosity range, such as water, juices, glycol, light solutions, CIP and suspensions con-taining small particles. Primary media such as steam, superheated water and diathermic oil can all be accommodated.

Based on complex astronomical algorithms using UTC time reference and whole degrees of latitude and longitude, the YES watch calculates sun, moon and time data once every 24 hours, at midnight HOME time.
We used algorithms published by the US Navy and Jean Meeus. An astronomer converted them into suitable language for programming.
Since every degree of longitude represents 4 minutes the sun and moon calculations carry an accuracy of +/-2 min. Since the moon waxes or wanes approximately 4% every day, 1% of illumination is about 6 hours.
Equinoxes, solstices and cross-quarter dates are subject to some cultural interpretations, so in our calculations we chose a mathematical mid-point between equinox and solstice.
The analog Swiss hand movement is manufactured to plus 10 / minus 20 seconds a month. The Japanese digital quartz chip is specified to plus / minus 20 seconds a month.
Each sun and moon segment in the LCD display represents 15 minutes.
Each sliver in the moon phase display represent about 44 hours.
As pocket watches came into use in the early 1800's, there was a clear need for an accurate reference point by which they could be set. Dipping a flag, firing a gun or eclipsing a search light were predssecors to the time ball. Starting in1833 an astronomer would accurately pin point thesolar high noon and then at 1 o'clock PM the ball would be dropped. Placed in towers high above rivers and towns it could be seen far and away and was one of the first methods to disperse a uniform time signal.

Omni, a wicked man, writes three verses, then gives the plates to his son, Aamaron--Aamaron writes five verses, then gives the plates to his brother, Chemish--Chemish writes one verse, then gives the plates to his son, Abinadom--Abinadom writes two verses, then gives the plates to his son, Amaleki--Amaleki writes about king Mosiah who fled the land of Nephi to Zarahemia and discovered a group of atheist Jews who had sailed from Jerusalem to America in 586 BCE but could no longer speak reformed Egyptian--The people of Zarahemia and the people of Nephi make Mosiah their king--Mosiah reads about Coriantumr on an inscribed rock--Coriantumr was descended from Jews who sailed from Israel to America just after the Tower of Babel incident--Amaleki gives the plates to King Mosiah's son, King Benjamin--Some Nephites travel to the land of Nephi and then return to Zarahemia.
(2-3) I of myself am a wicked man ... I conferred them upon my son Amaron.
It turns out that Omni's little book wasn't written by Omni, at least most of it wasn't. Omni only wrote the first three verses, from which we learn the following things: Omni fought with Lamanites, he was a wicked man, and he had a son named Amaron, who received the plates from Omni when he died.
4 And now I, Amaron, write the things whatsoever I write, which are few, in the book of my father. (4-8) I, Amaron, write the things whatsoever I write ... I did deliver the plates unto my brother Chemish.
9 Now I, Chemish, write what few things I write, in the same book with my brother; for behold, I saw the last which he wrote, that he wrote it with his own hand; and he wrote it in the day that he delivered them unto me. And after this manner we keep the records, for it is according to the commandments of our fathers. And I make an end. (9) I, Chemish, write what few things I write.
Chemish wrote a few things in a single verse in the same book, from which we learn that his brother Amaron wrote what he wrote with his own hand (not somebody else's) and he wrote his five verses in a single day.
10 Behold, I, Abinadom, am the son of Chemish. Behold, it came to pass that I saw much war and contention between my people, the Nephites, and the Lamanites; and I, with my own sword, have taken the lives of many of the Lamanites in the defence of my brethren. (10-11) I, Abinadom, am the son of Chemish ... I know of no revelation save that which has been written.
12 Behold, I am Amaleki, the son of Abinadom. Behold, I will speak unto you somewhat concerning Mosiah, who was made king over the land of Zarahemla; for behold, he being warned of the Lord that he should flee out of the land of Nephi, and as many as would hearken unto the voice of the Lord should also depart out of the land with him, into the wilderness -- (12-13) I am Amaleki, the son of Abinadom. Behold, I will speak unto you somewhat concerning Mosiah.
14 And they discovered a people, who were called the people of Zarahemla. Now, there was great rejoicing among the people of Zarahemla; and also Zarahemla did rejoice exceedingly, because the Lord had sent the people of Mosiah with the plates of brass which contained the record of the Jews. (14) They discovered a people, who were called the people of Zarahemla.
15 Behold, it came to pass that Mosiah discovered that the people of Zarahemla came out from Jerusalem at the time that Zedekiah, king of Judah, was carried away captive into Babylon. (15-16) The people of Zarahemla came out from Jerusalem at the time that Zedekiah was carried away captive into Babylon.
17 And at the time that Mosiah discovered them, they had become exceedingly numerous. Nevertheless, they had had many wars and serious contentions, and had fallen by the sword from time to time; and their language had become corrupted; and they had brought no records with them; and they denied the being of their Creator; and Mosiah, nor the people of Mosiah, could understand them. (17) Their language had become corrupted ... and they denied the being of their Creator.
After arriving in the New World, the people of Zarahemla (aka the Mulekites) became exceedingly numerous. But because they didn't write stuff on brass plates, they became atheists and their language (Reformed Egyptian) became corrupted. So the people of Zarahemla and the people of Mosiah couldn't understand one another.
18 But it came to pass that Mosiah caused that they should be taught in his language. And it came to pass that after they were taught in the language of Mosiah, Zarahemla gave a genealogy of his fathers, according to his memory; and they are written, but not in these plates. (18) But it came to pass that Mosiah caused that they should be taught in his language.
19 And it came to pass that the people of Zarahemla, and of Mosiah, did unite together; and Mosiah was appointed to be their king. (19) Mosiah was appointed to be their king.
(20-21) Mosiah ... did interpret the engravings by the gift and power of God.
22 It also spake a few words concerning his fathers. And his first parents came out from the tower, at the time the Lord confounded the language of the people; and the severity of the Lord fell upon them according to his judgments, which are just; and their bones lay scattered in the land northward. (22) His first parents came out from the tower, at the time the Lord confounded the language of the people.
(23-26) I began to be old; and, having no seed ... I shall deliver up these plates unto him.
After Amaleki finished telling stories about the Mulekites and Jaredites, he began to be old and having no seed, he passed the plates to King Benjamin, the son of King Mosiah, who drove the Lamanites out of the land of Zarahemla.
King Benjamin told everyone to believe in prophesying, revelations, speaking in tongues (which, according to the Bible, no one did until the day of Pentecost), and getting saved though Christ (who wouldn't be born for another couple couple centuries).
26 And now, my beloved brethren, I would that ye should come unto Christ, who is the Holy One of Israel, and partake of his salvation, and the power of his redemption. Yea, come unto him, and offer your whole souls as an offering unto him, and continue in fasting and praying, and endure to the end; and as the Lord l iveth ye will be saved.
27 And now I would speak somewhat concerning a certain number who went up into the wilderness to return to the land of Nephi; for there was a large number who were desirous to possess the land of their inheritance. (27-30a) And now I would speak somewhat concerning a certain number who went up into the wilderness to return to the land of Nephi.
Before Amaleki makes an end of his speaking, he tells us about a certain number of Nephites who leave Zarahelma and to return to the land of Nephi. They were led by a stiffnecked guy that got all of them killed, save fifty. After that, it came to pass that there was another attempted migration to the land of Nephi, with Amaleki's brother among them, and no one has heard from them since.
30 And I, Amaleki, had a brother, who also went with them; and I have not since known concerning them. And I am about to lie down in my grave; and these plates are full. And I make an end of my speaking. (30b) I am about to lie down in my grave; and these plates are full. And I make an end of my speaking.

Distilling
EVERYBODY NEEDS AN ALIBI
Wakaw's Own
Backroads Spirits Co.
Set in the heart of Wakaw, Saskatchewan, approximately 45 minutes northeast of Saskatoon and 30 minutes south of Prince Albert, Backroads Spirits Co. is the first micro-distillery in the area. The name "Wakaw" comes from the Cree language meaning "crooked," in reference to the nearby Wakaw Lake that stretches nearly 20 kilometers and houses hundreds of cabins inhabited year-round. Backroads Spirits Co. is located on 1st Street south in Wakaw in the original Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority (SLGA) retail liquor store building that was used from 1980 to 2018.
100% Family
A Full Family Operation
Like many other businesses in Saskatchewan, Backroads Spirits Co. is pleased to be a full-family operation. Owners Ray and Sandi and their two sons Chase and Cruz, are proud to now not only call one another family but co-workers as well.
Having called the town of Wakaw, Saskatchewan home for nearly 25 years we are excited to continue to call the community and its surrounding towns and residents, family as well. As everyone knows Saskatchewan is one giant family, so from our Sasky family to yours, "cheers" as we look forward to you trying our products.
A New Era of Distilling
Integrating Modern Technology
With a Timeless Tradition
Distilling is a proud tradition with a rich history that has been around for hundreds of years. When creating Backroads Spirits Co. we envisioned a micro-distillery where modern technology is embraced, but the tradition and heritage of distilling is not forgotten. With the use of our ultra-modern distilling equipment, we are capable of producing any type of spirit imaginable all within one still, rather than the use of multiple stills like in other distilleries. Our high-tech still through the use of intelligent artificial automation also allows us to produce top-tier products with higher consistency. This advanced technology and design also allow for our processes to be more efficient offering the capability to be up to 90% more energy efficient than traditional stills. This piece of modern distilling equipment is an extension of our vision where modern technology is integrated with a timeless tradition. Oh, and did we mention our still can even connect to our smartphones!
Backroads Spirits
A Name Fit For Our Province
With Saskatchewan having a total of over 250,000 kilometers of roads, the most out of any province in Canada, we chose a name that uniquely represents our entire province. And as the residents of Saskatchewan know quite well, those 250,000 kilometers of roads are more than just open highways.
It is the miles and miles of gravel and dirt backroads that help define and provide the backbone for our province. Stretching from the far north to the far south, east to west, all across our province backroads are used daily as an important method of getting from place to place.
Whether you take a backroad every day or once a year, backroads are an important part of our province's DNA, with the road less traveled always seeming to be the most memorable one.

Writer Annoyed With Criticism of Music
Will Erickson, Guest Writer|January 27, 2011
I can't recall the sheer number of times I've been asked "What kind of music do you like?" and when I reply with my usual slew of bands and artists, I receive a "That band sucks," or "I hate her voice, it sucks." These responses usually leave me angry, and a little hurt, but mostly angry. How can someone be so ignorant to good music? However, it is not ignorance that is the problem, it is tolerance.
People these days have grown accustomed to associating not liking a band and/or artist, with that band/artist having no musical talent. First off, no music is bad. Music takes skill, dedication, hard work, and confidence, plus it is art, and all art is somewhat good. Also when someone says a band "sucks", it is completely subjective, and therefore has no merit; one man's trash is another man's treasure.
There is also a common dichotomy that if you don't like, it must be because it sucks. Not true at all. I, for instance, don't like Lady Gaga. At all. But when my girlfriend is singing Poker Face at the top of her lungs, I have to appreciate the catchiness of the tunes. I find it quite rude when someone insults my musical tastes, so it needs to be understood that the follow-up to the statement "I don't really like that band," doesn't have to be "because they suck."
So what would it look like to be more tolerant of music? Listening to more music? Forcing yourself to listen to music you previously didn't like? Listening to the very pretentious genre of music known as jazz? All of the above? Well, maybe, but that's not the point. Just be more tolerant, respect other people's tastes in music, and appreciate human creation at it's finest. If we all practiced a little tolerance, I think the world would be a much better place.

Earliest reported video of Van Halen from back in 1978 surfaces online
Posted on October 10, 2017 by Olivier in Uncategorized // 0 Comments
The Van Halen News Desk has posted a YouTube video of Van Halen consisting of singer David Lee Roth, guitarist Eddie Van Halen, bassist Michael Anthony and drummer Alex Van Halen getting interviewed by Australia's Countdown television show.
The Van Halen News Desk reported as follows: "This is the earliest Van Halen video that has ever surfaced, and it's a absolute gem. Enjoy!"
During the interview, the foursome was asked how did they finally get a recording contract and breakthrough into the big times. Roth responded (as transcribed by Sleaze Roxx): "We got discovered. The president of Warner Bros. came down and saw us playing in a bar one night. We were playing for free. And he came with our producer Ted Templeman who err. Who else has he produced?" Alex Van Halen chimed in, "Oh, a variety of artists you know." Eddie Van Halen added, "Doobie Brothers. Little Feat." Roth continued, "And they said 'We want to sign you.'"
The group was then asked whether it was hard to breakthrough for a group that just formed to which Eddie Van Halen stated, "Not if you're good!" which brought laughs all around. Roth added, "You got to have faith in yourself you know. It's hard…" Eddie Van Halen piped in, "You got to keep at it. A lot of people get together you know and they change members every other week. They go you know, 'Oh! Who are they this time?' You know? You got to stick together and keep working."

Regency Romances – One Category, Two Subgenres
Amazon.com often combines two main sub-genres into one category: "Regency Romance."
However, many readers are looking for a particular kind of romance set in the Regency (1811 – 1820).
Writing styles can separate regency romances into two broad camps. In fact, I'd consider them sub-genres.*
Many Regency romances are carefully patterned after Jane Austen's stories. That's especially true of Austen "sequels."
Others are more like Georgette Heyer's novels. In recent years, many of them have spun-off further in the direction of "comedies of manners" or erotica, or both.
Austen-ish Books
Jane Austen's books are iconic. They're set in her own time and place: Regency England. Her stories regularly include elements of romance and wit. They also cast a harsh light on the challenges and inequities of her time, especially for women.
Many "sequels" to Jane Austen's books — the ones written in a style similar to hers — are in this category, as well.
However, some sequels are far more comedic. Others, such as "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies," are closer to parodies.
Regency Revisited – Georgette Heyer
A second sub-genre from the Regency period include romantic "comedies of manners." They may have subplots that involve mystery, intrigue, and suspense, but – first and foremost – wit and banter (especially between hero and heroine) are essential.
While sexual intimacy might be part of Heyer's stories, it rarely occurred on center stage. Her books sometimes featured adult premises, but — in general — her Regency period romances were "clean" by today's standards.
Georgette Heyer is the iconic author for this subgenre, and some fans insist that she invented it.
Other novelists were inspired by Georgette Heyer, including prolific author Barbara Cartland (723 novels).
It's after those books, perhaps more than Austen's, that many of today's Regency romances are styled.
Heyer Revisited – Retro Regency Romances
Like most fiction, Regency romances are popular in waves, and each of those waves brings changes. Starting in the 1970s, some (not all) Regency romances included explicit sex. At the time, they were described as "spicy" regencies.
Chaste romances set in the Regency era were called "sweet."
Those labels are still in use, but many publishers also use terms like "clean" or "sexy" to make differences clear.
For some authors, the line blurs between Austen-ish books and Heyer-like romances.
Many authors struggle to define their works. For example, D. G. Rampton coined the phrase "Retro Regency Romance" to describe her historical romances, which lean more towards "the retro-esque Georgette Heyer part of the spectrum."
While developing your own writing "voice," decide your influences before putting virtual pen to paper.
Study them carefully, deciding what you like best about each. Read reviews of their books, especially at Amazon and Goodreads. Take notes, and use them when plotting and writing your own books.
Most successful Regency romances draw from both Austen's inspiration and the more modern "comedy of manners" style, but lean heavily in one direction or the other.
If you have a clear, consistent, and reliable voice in your regency romances, you'll attract readers who'll buy everything you write.

*Sub-genre, or Subgenre, per Wikipedia:
"A subgenre is a subordinate within a genre. Two stories being the same genre can still sometimes differ in subgenre.
"For example, if a fantasy story has darker and more frightening elements of fantasy, it would belong in the subgenre of dark fantasy; whereas another fantasy story that features magic swords and wizards would belong to the subgenre of sword and sorcery."

Early morning of July 7, 2009 – Steve comes into the room, "It's Lauren, she has a referral!" "Already!", I whispered. We held our breath as we listen closely. "We locked in a 6 month baby girl for you late last night….. (A BABY!!) …..do you want to review her file?", Lauren continued. YES!! We ran down to the computer…all of us piled in front of the screen. I explained quickly to the kids (mostly Leila), that the baby was going to have a "boo boo" on her lip..but it can be fixed, so don't let it up-set you. We clicked "Get Mail" once…emotions building…..then once more. Finally up popped "Referral!" We scrolled down to see a small, big eyed baby in a yellow jacket. Tears swelling up….Leila said "look at her tiny hands!" And in that moment we were once again the recipient's of God's grace…and began our journey to Meili and Meili to us!!
A baby girl was picked up at the gate of Children's Hospital of Jiangyin City on December 17, 2008. There was a note with her "DOB: Dec.17 2008″. She was then sent to Jiangyin Children's Welfare Institute where she was named Jiang Wenhui. "Jiang" is from Jiangyin as the surname, and "Wenhui" means: we hope she will be an intelligent and wisdom girl. On admission she was 6.6 lbs and 12.4 inches long with little strenght.
We have decided to keep our daughter's given name. This is very important to us. Eventhough we feel we are bringing her to a better life of family, schooling & options…at the same time, we are also taking her from everything she knows and is. We don't want to take her given name from her as well…she will keep it and carry it with her..it's her story. We have decided to add "Meili" to the beginning of her name and this is what we will call her…sounds like 'May Lee'. It means "beautiful inside and out" in Chinese. And she is beautiful to us!

Die Synagoge in Maizières-lès-Vic, einer Gemeinde im Département Moselle in der französischen Region Grand Est, wurde zwischen 1868 und 1872 errichtet. Die profanierte Synagoge an der Ecke zur Grand-Rue ist seit 2009 als Monument historique klassifiziert. 2015 wurde sie durch einen Brand zerstört.

Geschichte
Die Synagoge wurde nach den Plänen des Architekten Ferdinand Boudot (1816–1889) aus Sarrebourg erbaut, der auch 1857 die Synagoge von Phalsbourg errichtete. Die Bauzeit fiel bereits in eine Zeit als die ländliche jüdische Gemeinde an Mitgliederzahl verlor. Das Consistoire Nancy war der offizielle Bauherr und die Finanzierung wurde mit Zuschüssen der politischen Gemeinde und des Staates gesichert. Bereits 1890 musste die Synagoge geschlossen werden, da keine jüdische Gemeinde mehr im Ort existierte.

1911 wurde die Synagoge verkauft und seitdem als Scheune und Hühnerstall genutzt. 2015 wurde das Gebäude durch einen Brand zerstört.

Architektur
Das Synagogengebäude mit Rundbogenfenster besaß noch die Rosette an der Hauptfassade und im Innern den Thoraschrein und die Treppe zur Frauenempore.

On the new moon we gather in sacred space to celebrate the divine energies of the new moon! We'll use a meditation to ground ourselves, talk about the current astrological influences and the goddess energy associated with the month. We'll also create an intention that will grow over the coming weeks and a mini lunar tarot reading to use as a tool to help the intention take root. Then we'll wrap it all up with a final mini meditation to thank the moon and have some snacks before we depart!

I just submitted a song for SLS18 consideration. I submitted "Thrash Unreal" by Against Me!. We can't forget that exclamation mark, it's very important. Just ask Yahoo!.
When I hear this song I always think the lyrics should be far more clever than they are. It's written at a fourth grade level, so I feel bad for digging it. It is what it is and I think it's at least worthy of SLS consideration. Have a listen for yourself.


We are moving always toward the profound love of God and love of neighbor without distinction.
We have been serving the dear neighbor without distinction since our humble beginnings in a kitchen in LePuy, France in 1650.
We are committed to continuing Jesus' mission in the belief that Creation is a sacred trust given to the whole Earth community. We ask in every deliberation, "How does this decision/action impact the Earth community? "We do this to raise our awareness and change our behaviors.
We believe in the interdependence of humanity and nature in the whole Earth community, and recognize our harmful impact.
We lead simple lifestyles and strive to foster the common good through parish service, adult education, spiritual direction and retreat work, direct service of the poor, and justice activities.
Strength for this mission comes from fidelity to community, prayer, our practice of sharing our heart and celebrating the rituals of church and community. Sharing of the Heart is the spiritual discipline which arises from a desire to return to the foundational charism of the CSJ Community as well as from the teachings of Jean Pierre Medaille, a Jesuit missionary, who taught us the rich Ignatian discernment tradition of finding God in all things. We practice Sharing of the Heart in small groups meeting regularly. We ask ourselves simple questions: What has happened to me since we last met? How did I feel? How was my heart led because of this experience? We remember that God's presence is revealed in the ordinary stuff of our lives. (Excerpted from Sharing of the Heart by Sister Mary Ellen Foster, CSJ).
Our public vows are: chastity, poverty, and obedience.
Our spirit and Charism is unifying love.
