These dialogs resulted in the formation of the United Religions Initiative.
David has published nine books and authored some 50 articles.


The University of Canberra has opened its fourth research institute with a focus on health and addressing what has been described as some of the most complex and wicked problems facing humanity.
The Health Research Institute (UC-HRI) will span the entire University, drawing in experts in diverse disciplines with a focus on health outcomes.
Its founding director, professor of health research, Rachel Davey, said the Institute will draw together expertise from fields which may not normally be associated with health research.
"We will see researchers from the traditional disciplines at the University of Canberra, like biomedicine and biotechnology, clinical sciences and public health.
"What may surprise some people is that we're already seeing researchers in urban planning and architecture, governance and law, information technology, environmental studies and design interested in becoming involved," Professor Davey said.
Any University of Canberra researcher is eligible to become a member of the UC-HRI, so long as their work has a health focus.
Professor Davey said the Institute will help to foster collaborations between disciplines which might not otherwise operate in the same spheres.
"We aim to address real world issues and some of the wicked problems plaguing health, but that requires collaboration from multi-disciplinary and trans-disciplinary perspectives," she said.
Among the foundation members of the UC-HRI is Roland Goecke, whose expertise is in software engineering.
His research on 'affective computing' has real world health implications, producing a system which can assess and interpret human facial expressions to provide measurable data for mental health clinicians.
Dr Goecke says the same technology can also be applied to dementia, to schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.
"We're looking at young children and understanding when early warning signs start showing up so there's potential for early intervention," he said.
He said that the UC-HRI will benefit researchers in tackling major problems and delivering outcomes towards better health care.
"The UC-HRI is a very exciting initiative that will be a strong benefactor to the University and to research in general and also will really bring people together that otherwise may not be working together," Dr Goecke said.
The UC-HRI will also provide important guidance and a firm foundation as researchers take their discoveries to the world.
The University's Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research) Frances Shannon said that the Institute aims to enhance the impact of research through partnerships with government, industry and the NGO and community sectors.
"The UC-HRI will give researchers a firm foundation and solid backing to take their discoveries through the commercialisation process and to see them put into action in the real world," Professor Shannon said.
"There will be researchers working within the UC-HRI who produce ideas, methods and techniques, they will likewise be guided by the Institute and their colleagues to bring their discoveries to policy-makers, practitioners and the health industry more widely."
The Institute will operate in a virtual space across the University, allowing researchers from various faculties to continue to operate within their own spaces, while still being a part of the larger organisation.

2nd Lt. John R. Jack Kingrey
Born in Rochester, Minn., 1920. Earned his wings in March of 1942 at Ellington Field in Texas. He flew patrols over the West Coast with the IV Fighter Command. He perished when his P-38 developed trouble near Paine Field, Everett, Washington, Dec. 17, 1942. Son of Roy and Frances Kingrey. Roy was a WWI veteran and owner of Kingrey's Store for Men. Jack's three brothers and his sister also served in the military. His commanding officer, Brig. Gen. William E. Kepner, said in a letter to his parents, "Lt. Kingrey was fine young man, a splendid pilot, and a soldier of excellent character." Lt. Gen. Henry Arnold said, "Lieutenant Kingrey had an exemplary record. During his entire army life, the record of Lieutenant Kingrey has been marked with honest endeavor, reliability, perseverance, and his death represents a distinct loss to the service." Not surprising. Jack was an Eagle Scout who stood around 6' 4" and one of those people who excelled at everything he did.

Good, now hopefully they will be foreclosed upon in the not so distant future.
Fannie and Freddie are money grubbing frauds. .. at least those running them are.

Another great article from a great journalist. Thank you for reporting on this very important issue.
Now will Freddie Mac stop using them? Their silence in the face of knowing about inflated fees is appalling. This is an outrage. We as taxpayers are paying for these inflated fees.
I hope this is just the beginning of the end for these law firms. All five of them need to be out of business.

Amazon Gives Up on Legal Battle Over Alexa Data
Criminal Justice March 7, 2017 By Mike DeFelice
Amazon is giving up on a legal battle to protect Alexa's data under the First Amendment. The e-tail giant has agreed to give data from Echo to Arkansas police after gaining permission from a murder defendant.
Court documents recently made public show that Amazon abandoned its legal battle against Bentonville, Arkansas law enforcement. Amazon's move came just days before the final hearing that would determine whether the data was pertinent to the case.
Law enforcement subpoenaed Amazon twice last year, asking the company to share audio recordings from an Echo device belonging to murder defendant James Andrew Bates. Amazon refused both requests.
Bates filed paperwork granting investigators permission to examine his device and asked Amazon to give his data to law enforcement. Amazon agreed to hand over the data after receiving the request from Bates.
Law enforcement officials believe the Echo may have recorded what happened on the evening he allegedly murdered Victor Collins in his home.
Bates, who has been charged with first-degree murder, claims to have found Collins dead in his hot tub on his back patio after a night of drinking. Investigators later found that the cause of death was strangulation, with drowning being a contributing cause.
Amazon initially refused to hand over the data, citing customer privacy rights under the First Amendment.
In a previous court filing, Amazon stated that law enforcement needed to prove why they needed the data before they would hand it over.
"Such government demands inevitably chill users from exercising their First Amendment rights to seek and receive information and expressive content in the privacy of their own home, conduct which lies at the core of the Constitution," said Amazon.
Amazon's legal battle with Arkansas authorities is similar to the case between Apple and the FBI in 2016. Apple refused to unlock an iPhone used by Syed Farook, the San Bernardino shooter.

The collect and readings for the Fourth Sunday in Lent may be found here. The following sermon is based on Numbers 21:4-9 and John 3:14-21.
When I drive to Corpus Christi I usually stop at a little rest area alongside interstate 37 about 85 miles north of Corpus. As you exit the interstate and follow the ramp up to the rest area one of the first things you notice are two signs that say, "Watch for snakes." It is a warning that there are dangerous things out there that can bite you, hurt you, maybe even kill you. So we are told to avoid the snakes and if you see one get away.
That makes sense. It's good advice. It is, I suspect, how most of us try to live our daily lives. And it's not just about the snakes that crawl on the ground. We live that way with regard to the snakes of life. We avoid those things we fear, the things that hurt us, that bite us and cause pain – not just physically but also emotionally and spiritually.
So we avoid dealing with our addictions and attachments. We ignore broken relationships. We put off doing the hard work of life. We turn away from our difficulties. We repress painful memories. We don't acknowledge our fear, resentments, or anger. We refuse to think or talk about our own death. We deny the things we have done and left undone. After all isn't that what the sign says? If you see a snake get away.
What if there was a different sign? What if the sign said, "If you see a snake look him straight in the eyes. Stare him down. See who blinks first." It sounds kind of crazy but at some level that's exactly what God told the Israelites to do.
Their impatience in the wilderness, their fear of dying, living with an uncertain future and an unknown destination, the emptiness, thirst and hunger, the difficulty of life – all manifested themselves as snakes in the wilderness; snakes that would bite, wound, and kill them. They would have to face the reality of their snakes.
It seems like a smart Israelite would turn and run. But when the Israelites tried that they died. We are not saved from our snakes by running away. God offers a different option. Instead of turning away, the salvation God offered the Israelites was that they were to stare at the very thing they feared. God's ways are not our ways and God's thoughts are not our thoughts. God's logic often seems foolishness.
Somehow authentic life involves facing and looking at the reality of death – not only our own physical death but also the many ways we die each day. The daily deaths happen in various ways – in our disappointments, failures, and shattered dreams; in our regrets and sorrows; our loneliness; our anger, fear, and resentment; the losses and broken relationships we experience; the separation and isolation caused by sin.
The place of fear becomes the place of courage.
The place of sin becomes the place of forgiveness.
The place of wounding becomes the place of healing.
The place of death becomes the place of life.
The place of falling down becomes the place of rising up.
The very things that destroy life in the human world are, in God's world, the instruments of healing and salvation. In God's world the cure for snakes is a snake, the cure for human life is God's incarnate life, and the cure for death is death.
This holy season of Lent asks us to discover and name the snakes of our life. And then decide. Will we turn and run or will we turn and gaze? Lifting our eyes to meet the gaze of love, the gaze of Christ?
I'm totally making a sign that says, "If you see a snake look him straight in the eyes. Stare him down. See who blinks first." and putting it on my desk!
What a great sign. I love it! Thank you.
I've found that we have another bad habit- we stare down other people's snakes, and pretend we don't have any. It's so much harder to stare down your own personal snakes.
Yes, self reflection and examination are necessary and difficult work. I am grateful for those who help hold me acceptable to do my work.
Great post Mike. I wonder to what extent dualistic thought has simply taught us to deny, ignore, or oppress these very things you mention forgetting that our healing lies hidden in a discerning engagement with them. Hidden in the path to the cross is also the path to resurrection. The two are inextricably linked. Dualism has a hard time with this. Loved the way you worked with the text here.
Don, I like your wondering and thoughts about dualism. Dualism, it seems, pushes us into rationalism, linear thinking, and seeking a resolution. The non-dualistinc mind can sit with paradox, trust mystery, and know by unknowing. As you rightly point out the cross and resurrection are not opposed to each other. I am always appreciative of your encouraging words and your good thoughts that expand and clarify what I am trying to say. Thank you.
Eve too must be saved by the Serpent!

4 reasons for devs to be excited about Umbraco 8.7, 8.9 and 8.9.1
Platforms Tech Guides
by Parvinder Mann
Published on December 2020
In the recent months, we've seen a spate of releases from one of the industry's best-loved open-source CMSs. In this post, we'll be looking at some of the best features of Umbraco 8.7, 8.9 and the very recent 8.9.1.
We'll cover what they are, the problems they solve, and finally, what impacts they'll have on editor experience – so let's get on with it.
1. Umbraco 8.7's Block List Editor
The Block List Editor is a list of blocks of content that can be added as a property to a content node. It can be configured to have multiple blocks available, giving the developer control over the configuration of how these blocks are displayed on the frontend, as well as how they are validated.
You can also define a minimum/maximum value to control how many blocks are allowed within the blocks list.
On top of that, there's also an option to enable either Inline editing (like nested content, which allows you to edit the content directly), or, if preferred, editing in an overlay (as is currently the case with stacked content).
Plus, the Block List Editor allows the creation of element type directly from the configuration screen: this means that element types do not need to be created separately, saving you time and valuable screen real estate that would normally be occupied by a plethora of browser tabs.
For added flexibility, Umbraco has also provided the option for each block to be configured separately. This configuration ranges from the editor appearance (which allows you to choose how the block appears when accessed in the content section to editors) to the catalogue appearance (which allows you to choose how the catalogue and the block picker appear to editors.
2. Umbraco 8.7's complex validation
This feature not only adds great validation for the Block List Editor, but also nested content.
Validation messages are now displayed anywhere within your document, irrespective of how your data structure has been modelled, along with a badge that will direct the content editor to their error.
Complex validation mainly varies from simple validation in that rather than the validation dealing with the property as a unit, it allows you to inform editors of the specifics that are invalid. In doing this, it simplifies the process of troubleshooting for content editors, allowing them to spend more time on getting their masterpieces from a draft to the finish line.
3. Umbraco 8.9's improved login experience
Umbraco 8.9 boasts a much smoother experience for external login providers, allowing authentication into the Umbraco backoffice by external service providers like Active Directory, Google, Okta etc. You can also disable local logins and define redirects to let the external provider handle the login flow and create a seamless single sign-in experience.
In addition, 8.9 also brings in the option of hooking into the user invite workflow and integrating this with the external provider, making it possible to invite users from the backoffice and have external providers in charge of password creation.
4. Umbraco 8.9.1's many bug fixes
The latest Umbraco release aims at fixing a few teething issues from all these shiny new features:
Mandatory features in nested content are now marked as required
The value for custom member properties can now be removed in the backoffice
Member index now updates inline with member updates
Deleting and creating items no longer causes loss of Block List data
All in all, these updates mark a real movement towards flexibility and ease of use – and that's more than enough for Umbraco users to be excited about!
If you're reading this, it's more than likely you're an Umbraco user. But it's less likely you've got an expert, full-stack 24/7 support team protecting your Umbraco application 24/7.
We work with both agencies and brands, providing full-stack Umbraco support to your end clients or to you directly.
We've worked on Umbraco projects with Global Cyber Security platform Absolute Software, leading US payroll platform Paylocity and major entertainment group TEEG.
So if you're looking to protect your revenue and reputation around the clock, just get in touch…it's one more thing to be excited about!

Opinion: We must reckon with identity to unite the nation
Rabbi David Mason, Muswell Hill Synagogue
Rabbi David Mason, Muswell Hill Synagogue, has been inspired by his summer reading. - Credit: Archant
The summer holiday is a great opportunity to spend some quality time with the family, as well as a perfect time for some good reading.
One of my summer reads this year was Francis Fukuyama's book Identity, and I am following it up with The Lies that Bind; Rethinking Identity by Kwame Anthony Appiah.
You can see a pattern here!
Identity is clearly an ever-present part of our political landscape whether one is on the left or on the right.
Fukujama will always be known as the man who coined the phrase "the end of history" to refer to the state of liberal democracy in the late 1990s.
What is often overlooked is that when he wrote the complacent-appearing lines, he added a caveat.
In this new book he repeats that caveat - liberal democracy has to deal with identity, and if it can't, do so, it will be imperilled
What Fukujama lays out in his book is fascinating - a real mixture of political and sociological thinking and psychology which can inform how we look at the divisions noticeable in our society today.
Recognition is at the heart of identity.
In recent centuries people have come to sense a difference between how they see themselves and and what society wants of them. No longer were people forced into narrow roles by society, now they had their own inner sense of who they were - and this would lead to the need to be recognised by society.
But society has, in recent decades, splintered into a whole range of legitimate concerns - each pulling at the fabric of what makes a modern nation state. The response to this has been nationalism.
Presciently, in his book Fukujama talks at length about immigration and the double reaction to it - he correctly predicted that many would welcome immigration, but also that many would not at all.
But what is interesting in his book is the idea of creating a binding national identity to which all groups who live in a state can be assimilated.
In his words: "The retreat on both sides into ever narrower identities threatens the possibility of deliberation and collective action by the society as a whole."
Fukujama does suggest some concrete ideas for how to construct this idea of national identity that binds. One example is a national service programme for all.
But this leaves me torn - between whether this is simply 'more of the same', a suggestion one might hear from moderate Tories, or whether it actually opens up a way of discussing how a liberal democracy can create a sense of togetherness among its sometimes disparate groups and communities.
Either way, if we don't do something about this now, populist nationalists may well be the ones to keep marching forward.

Q: Configure Eclipse to use OpenJFX with OpenJDK without manually adding --add-module in Run Configurations? I have a downloaded OpenJDK 11.0.11_9 JRE and a corresponding version of OpenJFX (11.0.2). I have configured eclipse to use the downloaded JDK11 for compilation and running my project. (For various reasons I am not using the system's default JDK.)
In the project properties -> Java Build Path -> Libraries tab, I added the various javafx .jar files in the "Modulepath" section. The Module Dependencies tab shows them listed on the left side.
But when I run the project I get a NoClassDefFound error for the first javafx class it tries to load.
If I manually put "--add-modules javafx.controls,javafx.swing,javafx.media" in the VM arguments in the Run Configuration, it works, but this seems to defeat the whole point of configuring the Modules Dependencies in the build path in the first place.
What's the proper way to do this?

A: I recommend opening the Run Configurations for your program and selecting the Dependencies tab. Then click on the Modulepath Entries in the list of dependencies, and then the buttons Advanced... followed by Add External Folder. The folder to add is the /lib subfolder of your JavaFX JDK. Alternatively, you can add the jars from this folder directly via the Add External Jars option.
If you click the Show Command Line button before and after doing this, you will see that the javafx jars are added to the path by this act (the -p option).
As far as I am concerned, this is a workaround for a deficiency currently in Eclipse. I really don't understand why it should be necessary, if the library was successfully added to the build path. The clear expectation is that it will be automatically included in the path by the Run Configurations. (The openjfx.io documentation suggests that nothing need be done to the Run Configurations.) Also, other elements in the "Libraries" section of the build path appear in the Dependencies, so why not the javafx jars? Perhaps there is something we are doing wrong or omitting when we configure the javafx library for inclusion on the build path.
I'm going to dig further, will ask at Eclipse.org, etc. Will report back if I get more info.

Give Me My Remote > Rebel > ABC Orders REBEL, Inspired by Erin Brockovich
ABC Orders REBEL, Inspired by Erin Brockovich
September 16, 2020 by Marisa Roffman
ABC has ordered REBEL, inspired by the life of Erin Brockovich, to series, the network announced.
The series, which was created by GREY'S ANATOMY boss Krista Vernoff, follows "Annie 'Rebel' Bello is a blue-collar legal advocate without a law degree. She's a funny, messy, brilliant and fearless woman who cares desperately about the causes she fights for and the people she loves. When Rebel applies herself to a fight she believes in, she will win at almost any cost." Katey Sagal will play the lead character.
"Erin Brockovich has never stopped the extraordinary work she does fighting for her clients like they're family, and Krista Vernoff's take on her life today in 'Rebel' is undeniable," said Karey Burke, president, ABC Entertainment, in a statement. "Katey Sagal is a powerhouse as 'Rebel' and with Andy Garcia, John Corbett and the rest of the phenomenal cast, viewers are going to fall in love with these characters and the world Krista has created for them."
"The work that Erin Brockovich does in this world is so powerful and so important that it almost defies description," Vernoff said. "Erin works tirelessly for social, legal and environmental justice despite the lack of a formal degree. She inspires everyone she meets to become their own heroes, and somehow, she also keeps us laughing. It has been a tremendous honor to get to know Erin and to create a show inspired by her. I am thrilled to be working with a dream cast led by the extraordinary Katey Sagal with the incredible Tara Nicole Weyr directing. I could not be more excited about the series order for REBEL, and I'm so grateful for the support of Dana Walden, Karey Burke, Craig Hunegs, Jonnie Davis and all my partners at Walt Disney Television and ABC."
Added Brockovich: "REBEL is not just my story, it is all of our stories. There is a hero that exists in all of us, and I am so excited for Krista Vernoff and ABC to bring their visionary storytelling to this series. The name 'Rebel' oozes self-empowerment, courage and rising above, even in the worst of circumstances. I cannot think of anyone better to play this role than the indomitable Katey Sagal, who is such a force, as well as the rest of this extraordinary cast."
The series stars also stars John Corbett as Grady Bello, James Lesure as Benji, Lex Scott Davis as Cassidy, Tamala Jones as Lona, Ariela Barer as Ziggie, Kevin Zegers as Nate, Sam Palladio as Luke, and Andy Garcia as Cruz.
REBEL is set to debut in 2021.

As one of only two professional rugby teams in Scotland make sure that you show you're a fan of the team from the capital rather than the team from the most populous city in this Edinburgh 18/19 Alternate Pro S/S Rugby Shirt from Macron.
Edinburgh from the Guinness Pro 14 became the only Scottish club to reach a major European final when they squared up to Gloucester Rugby in the Europea Rugby Challange Cup back in 2015. Now, this season they look set to be on of the teams to watch.
They have collaborated with sports brand Macron to bring their fans a new kit and training range for this 18/19 season. And, just like the season they are expected to play, they have a striking kit to match. This new campaign coincides with the restyling of the club's logo which mixes their traditional navy and white colours with the modern addition of orange.
The alternate jersey is body fit and the main fabric is Armevo. The shirt is predominantly white with navy blue detailing and trim around the sleeve cuffs and around the base of the garment. Inside the polo collar, is an orange tape detailing the year of the city's first representative match in 1872. The Macron logo is on the right of the chest with the club's rebranded logo - which represents the turrets of Edinburgh castle, the volcanic origins of the city and the year of the city's first game – on the left. The same orange colour is in the graphic pixel detail on the sleeves of the jersey, taking inspiration from the volcanic lava which went on to form the bedrock of Scotland's capital city. The team's sponsor - Principal and Prosper - is across the middle.

Groups Expose Obama Failure on Abortion Transparency
Charlotte Lozier Institute and Family Research Council revealed a new website today that sheds light on which Obamacare insurance plans cover abortion.

(Washington, DC) Charlotte Lozier Institute (CLI) and Family Research Council (FRC) revealed a new website today to assist consumers in determining which Obamacare insurance carriers include coverage of abortion on demand and which do not. Researchers at the national pro-life groups have been performing an ongoing examination of healthcare.gov and state-based exchanges since the "open season" began last Saturday, looking for information on abortion coverage and the accessibility of that information to users.
The launch of the website, www.ObamacareAbortion.com, comes after repeat failed attempts to secure answers on abortion transparency from the Obama Administration.
"Concern over taxpayer funding of elective abortion was the final hold up in passing the Affordable Care Act in 2010. Four years later, the Obama Administration's landmark legislation remains a monument to confusion on this key issue," said Chuck Donovan, president of CLI. "The Obama Administration's Department of Health and Human Services has repeatedly stonewalled members of Congress, pro-life groups, and the media when asked to address the dearth of transparency on abortion coverage. The website unveiled today is a tool for pro-life consumers but it is not the best or final answer to a bad situation."
"By launching ObamacareAbortion.com we are attempting to do what the Obama Administration has not been willing or able to do for the 2015 new enrollment. That is, to inform Americans find out about abortion coverage in Obamacare plans and expose the great difficulty in obtaining this information," said Arina Grossu, Director, Center for Human Dignity, at the Family Research Council. "As in 2014, the Obamacare exchange lacks transparency, often lacks abortion-free options for many Americans, and continues to fund coverage of elective abortion with taxpayer money. We must do better than this by passing the Abortion Insurance Full Disclosure Act (H.R.3279) and the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act (H.R.7)."
In a video which surfaced earlier this month, key Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber called lack of transparency a "huge political advantage" to the law's passage. Since October of 2013, CLI has reported on the lack of transparency and generally confusing nature of the exchange sites and plan options. This summer, the Government Accountability Office released a report identifying 1,036 ObamaCare plans that cover abortion on demand and receive taxpayer subsidies.

The Winter People
The New York Times bestselling author of Promise Not to Tell returns with a simmering literary thriller about ghostly secrets, dark choices, and the unbreakable bond between mothers and daughters . . . sometimes too unbreakable.
West Hall, Vermont, has always been a town of strange disappearances and old legends. The most mysterious is that of Sara Harrison Shea, who, in 1908, was found dead in the field behind her house just months after the tragic death of her daughter, Gertie. Now, in present day, nineteen-year-old Ruthie lives in Sara's farmhouse with her mother, Alice, and her younger sister, Fawn. Alice has always insisted that they live off the grid, a decision that suddenly proves perilous when Ruthie wakes up one morning to find that Alice has vanished without a trace. Searching for clues, she is startled to find a copy of Sara Harrison Shea's diary hidden beneath the floorboards of her mother's bedroom. As Ruthie gets sucked deeper into the mystery of Sara's fate, she discovers that she's not the only person who's desperately looking for someone that they've lost. But she may be the only one who can stop history from repeating itself.

Vote in the Aiyoh… Wat Lah?! Awards 2014
And the award for the most sexist and misogynistic statement goes to... By Poskod
Facepalm. Photo: EdMilson de Lima, Creative Commons Attribution License.
The annual Aiyoh…Wat Lah?! awards are back, and as usual, the winners are voted for by the public. Organised by the Joint Action Group For Gender Equality, the awards are given to the most outrageous sexist, homophobic, transphobic and misogynistic statements and actions from the past year.
Along with the predictable political contenders, this year's nominees also include Loyar Burok (for the publication of that fellatio opinion article) and The Star Online (which ran an election article focusing on female politicians' grooming). There are various categories, which include "Foot in Mouth", "Policy Fail" and "Cannot Ignore". But, if you're looking for a ray of hope, there's also a "Right on Track" category for actions that have supported gender equality, such as the un-banning of a book published by Sisters in Islam.
"Foot in Mouth", "Insulting Intelligence", "Policy Fail", "Cannot Ignore", "Least Helpful to the Sisterhood", "Enough Already!", and "Right on Track". – See more at: http://www.loyarburok.com/2014/05/12/vote-aiyoh-wat-lah-awards/#sthash.xC9r4Mth.dpuf
The voting closes on May 22. You can vote here.

Winfried Schrammek (7 June 1929 – 4 March 2017) was a German musicologist and organist.

Life

Education
Born  in Breslau, Schrammek, son of a surveying engineer, received his first organ lessons as a pupil of the Herzog-Friedland-Gymnasium in Żagań by his music teacher Gustav Mikeleitis. At the age of 15 he was called up for military service. After the end of the war he and his parents were expelled from the Silesian homeland. In Jena he passed his high school diploma in 1948 and began a two-year study of church music at the Hochschule für Musik Franz Liszt, Weimar, which he completed with the Mittlere Staatliche Prüfung für Kirchenmusiker. He then studied musicology, German studies and ethnology at the University of Jena until 1953. . After a three-year aspirancy at the University of Jena, he received his doctorate there in 1956 under Heinrich Besseler. His dissertation topic was: Das deutsche Lied in den deutschen Orgel tablatures des 15. Jahrhunderts unter besonderer Berücksichtigung des Buxheimer Orgelbuches.

Academic activity
From 1956 to 1962 Schrammek was a research assistant in the music department at the  in Leipzig. During this time he edited folk song editions and worked in field research on the Harz folklore, here especially about the . Fruits of this work were the series Volkslieder aus deutschen Landschaften published by Friedrich Hofmeister Musikverlag under his direction and other publications on the customs in the Harz.

In 1962 he began his professional career as a research assistant at the Museum of Musical Instruments of Leipzig University. In 1977 he was appointed as curator, in 1988 as provisional director and in 1989 as director of this museum. During this time, he devoted himself to all museological work and participated in over 50 special exhibitions. He specialized in keyboard instruments, especially the organ and the harpsichord.

From 1965 to 1990 he was a member of the Council for Museums at the GDR Ministry of Culture.

Schrammek conducted extensive scientific research on the history of the organ. He was particularly interested in the Central German organ landscape. In this area he was a proven expert for all questions of construction, performance practice and liturgy. As such, he was instrumental in the rescue and restoration of numerous historical organs in Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia.

On 27 May 1968, under conspiratorial circumstances, he led the rescue of the small organ from the Leipzig Paulinerkirche, which had already been prepared for demolition.

In 1993 he was appointed to the commission "Art History, Literature and Musicology" of the Saxon Academy of Sciences and in 1994 he was appointed extraordinary professor.

After his retirement in 1995, Schrammek was visiting scholar at the Leipzig University until 2006 and worked as a lecturer until 2011 for the Military bands of the Bundeswehr in Hilden. Since 2004, he was a member of the university rectorate commission "Organ for the new construction of the assembly hall/church on the campus Augustusplatz", whose concept he significantly influenced.

Church music
In addition to his professional activities, Winfried Schrammek was organist and choirmaster at the Catholic Church St. Bonifatius. Until 1990 he belonged to a Collegium musicum, the "Chorus Cantorum", which was exclusively dedicated to the research and faithful performance of the Gregorian chant. In concerts he was particularly prominent as an interpreter of medieval organ and clavichord music. A close collaboration existed with Hans Grüß and his Capella Fidicinia. As an organist and expert, he also participated in numerous recordings for radio and CD.

Schrammek died in Leipzig at age 86 and was buried in the University Rebates of the II Department of the Leipzig Südfriedfriedhof, not far from the grave of his teacher Heinrich Besseler.

I created this recipe on the fly last night and I think it is safe to say, it was everything I want a recipe to be: quick, easy, delicious, healthy, and packed with flavor!
8) Warm small amount of olive oil in pot, add chicken, add spices (I didn't measure), and about a 1/2 cup of salsa to pot. Mix well. Taste chicken, add more salt or other seasoning as needed.
I started with a layer of rice, then added bell pepper, onion, beans, tomato, chicken, and cilantro. I topped my bowl with a 1/4 of an avocado, cilantro, and a dab of salsa. If you are luckier than I am and can eat dairy, feel free to add cheese/sour cream/etc. I will live through your dairy indulgence vicariously!
Not only did it give me a good laugh (flashback to high school!) it also made me run the last mile faster than the first two. Score!
What do you think of the burrito bowl recipe??
Which do you prefer- cook at home or eat out?
What are you doing today for exercise?
Great post! Love the burrito bowl!!! quick, easy, and has to be tasty. I'll definitely have that one soon enough. I've done some similar things in the past…toss some shredded chicken in with some rice and add all sorts to things to it, usually whatever else i had lying around the kitchen…tomatoes, green peppers, beans…and then choose either cajun or mexican spices to give it some flair and flavor.
Yum… I love mix ups! The possibilities are endless! I haven't experimented with cajun spices but I am sure that is delicious.
I love cajun food! Give some a try some time.
That burrito bowl looks delicious! What I like about it is that I can remove the ingredients that I don't like (I hate, hate beans, for example). It also looks like something that could warm up and be brought to work for lunch pretty easily.
P.S. I LOVE the song "Get Low." It was one of my favorites in high school, plus I run to the Nelly and Murphy Lee Pandora station that I made. It got me through the last mile of my 5K!
Hey! Yes, it was so tasty! And I totally agree that it would be perfect to bring to work. (I LOVE leftovers!) There is nothing like good music while running.
Looks Yummy!!! I'm looking forward to having a kitchen again! It's HOT, HOT, HOT here tonight, so I'm gonna have guacamole and nachos….
Omg that sounds delicious! I can't imagine summer in Arizona!! Love you!!

As long as the weather outside would allow, bralettes are quick and easy to add to your outfit from both a fashion and practical standpoint. The only season they pose some challenges is winter.
However, with a few simple tips and tricks, there are multiple ways to rock this summer staple even in cold and snowy conditions.
Every season has its own classic pieces and trends. While bralettes may seem like they're only bearable during spring, summer, and fall, you'll soon find out there are ways to style bralettes all year round, including the winter!
You might not care whatever you wear inside during winter because they'll be hidden anyway, right? Wrong! Bralettes make the world of a difference as they transform into the ultimate inner piece and peek out from your three- or four-layered outfits. It doesn't have to be with boring loose t-shirts either; you can choose from a multitude of options.
As soon as fall rolls around, plaid and flannel take over as the classics of the season and continue into winter. Rather than fully buttoning up the shirt, leave the top few buttons undone, and have a bralette show from underneath.
If you're larger in the bust region, this is the perfect way to wear flannels without feeling like you're going to pop out of the shirt!
The intricate and appealing details of bralettes can't be seen without showing at least a little bit of skin. Scarves allow you to showcase some detail from the straps or the tops of your bralette while covering up the neck where the cold may hit you easily.
Sheer and mesh tops are great for the winter holiday season, especially for holiday parties! These types of tops look dressier than a normal t-shirt, especially if you pair a lace bralette underneath. Even though the fabrics are usually pretty thin, you don't have to worry about its long-sleeved and high neck coverage because your bralettes are going to be seen either way.
Most of these ideas suggest showing the bralettes from the front. Open back shirts show a different angle of the bralette for once: the backside. Since there's less chance to cover up with this style, just make sure that your blouse's fabric is thick and heavy so the cold air can't easily get through.
There's nothing cozier than a loose knit sweater. Ones with intentional holes in them or those that have a low or wide neck, turning the piece into an off-shoulder, work best so your bralettes can show through.
If you know you are going to be inside for most of the day or night, pair a cute bralette with one of the jackets mentioned above and keep your jacket open to let your bralette peek through.
Work doesn't stop just because it's snowing, and you looking like a boss lady doesn't have to be compromised either. Forget dressy blouses, blazers are the way to go if you're intent on being an office fashionista even in the winter.
Bralettes could peek through the low V neckline of blazers like an undershirt of a business suit. To stay on the more conservative side, crop top-like and high neck bralettes are probably the safest to wear underneath – with or without dress codes.
We're used to bralettes being the innermost layer in outfits. That doesn't always have to be the case though. During the winter, think outside the box and layer bralettes over your plain long-sleeved shirts or button-down shirts. This will help you survive the cold weather while also showing your bralette in its entirety like you would during the summer!
If you want to keep your midriff mostly covered, pair a crop top or longline bralette with high-waisted pants. Add a cardigan for additional warmth (or even a heavy coat if you're battling the snow). This outfit is pretty versatile and can be worn with numerous types of high-waisted pants, from jeans to slacks to leggings.
Even though it's cold outside, there are still a number of ways to wear this undergarment to keep you looking stylish and trendy. Try one of the ways we mentioned above, or pair a couple together to create a unique look!

One in 10 students using foodbanks
Written by: Emma Lunn
The financial situation for UK students has been laid bare in the Student Money Survey 2022 – and things are looking bleak for undergraduates.
The survey by Save The Student found that students are experiencing higher inflation than the national average, with record-breaking shortfalls between average maintenance loans and living costs.
The survey found that student living costs have seen a 14% increase since the 2021 survey, with the average student now spending £924 a month. In London, the average is £1,089 a month. Rent is by far the biggest monthly expense, accounting for about 45% of monthly living costs.
In the 2021 survey, 10 of the 12 UK regions had average student living costs of £800 a month or less. However, this year, each region's average is above £800. The cheapest region for students is the West Midlands, which has average monthly living costs of £822.
The South West of England and London are the most expensive parts of the UK for students; these have risen to £962 and £1,089 a month respectively.
The two areas of spending that have increased the most for students are transport and household bills.
The government has announced that the average household's energy bills will be capped at £2,500 a year, for two years, from October. However, this is nearly double what households were paying last year.
The research found that the average student's maintenance loan falls short of covering their living costs by £439 every month, prompting one in 10 students to have used a foodbank in the past year.
One student told the survey: "I go for multiple days without food to be able to afford my rent."
According to Save The Student, the average student receives £149.80 per month from their parents. But even when you combine the average student's maintenance loan and parental contributions, this still leaves a shortfall of £289.20 every month.
More than half think of dropping out
More than eight in 10 (82%) students worry about making ends meet, up from 76% that said the same in last year's survey. More than half (52%) reported that they have thought about dropping out of university due to money worries.
Jake Butler, Save the Student's money expert, said: "This is the most worried I've ever been about the financial situation students are facing. In a decade of running the National Student Money Survey, this year's findings are bleak. And we expect much worse is yet to come.
"The huge £439 monthly shortfall between Student Loans and real living costs is particularly alarming. Most students are struggling to bridge this gap. And it's not fair in this climate for the government to 'expect' parents to contribute such a high amount.
"Students were neglected throughout the pandemic and it appears that treatment continues with the cost of living crisis. Inflation for students could be as high as 14%, yet government funding in England has only risen by 2.3%."
A study by interactive investor last month also found that students face a rise in living costs far in excess of the small increase in support from maintenance loans.
With these costs in mind, at the end of August, YourMoney.com published a guide to student savings.

Edward Austin Kent – An Overlooked Buffalo Architect
by Ellen Mika Zelasko | Apr 17, 2020 | Buffalo Buildings, Buffalo History, Buffalo People, Uncategorized
A few days ago when I wrote Titanic – The Buffalo Connection, I learned quite a bit about Edward Austin Kent, who lost his life when the Titanic sank. I was so intrigued that I decided to learn more and to bring it to you. This is still the anniversary week of his tragic death after all. And the whole story of the Titanic disaster is irresistible to a history nerd like me.
So here we go.
Edward Kent – The Early Years
Edward Austin Kent was born in Bangor, Maine in 1854. His parents, Henry Mellen Kent and Harriet Farnham Kent moved to Buffalo in 1865. Henry, a dry goods merchant, together with W.B. Flint, bought a large department store and renamed it Flint and Kent. Buffalo already boasted several great department stores, but Flint and Kent would become known as one of Buffalo's finest.

Edward, like most sons of Buffalo society, attended the Brigg's Classical School of Buffalo, an elite college preparatory school located within the park on the Rumsey Estate. He later graduated from Yale, and studied architecture at L'Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris, where both Louis Sullivan (Guaranty Building) and H.H. Richardson (Richardson Olmsted Complex) studied. He also spent time studying in England. Pretty impressive education.
Kent came back to the states in 1877, settled in Syracuse, NY, and became a junior partner in the architectural firm of Silsbee and Kent. He then spent two years in D.C. as a government architect, which seems like an odd move. A step down? Or was government work like this viewed as prestigious back then? Doubtful. I suppose we'll never know.
Back in Buffalo
Edward returned to Buffalo in 1884 and started his own Architectural firm and later located it in the Ellicott Square Building. The firm was quite successful. Here's a fun and little known fact: together with his brother William, also an architect, Kent designed the much acclaimed mosaic floor in the Ellicott Square Building. People talk about the floor all the time, but not who designed it!

Kent was among those who founded the Buffalo Society of Architects in 1886, and was voted their first Secretary. In 1890, that group merged with the American Institute of Architects. Kent was elected their president three times. He represented the Buffalo Chapter of the AIA at an international conference in Berlin in 1909.
By all accounts, Edward Kent was the consummate gentleman. It doesn't appear that he ever married, or had any personal entanglements of any kind. None that are recorded anyway.
Let's take a look at some of his most notable designs.

In January of 1912, Edward Kent, a frequent traveler across the Atlantic, embarked upon a two month vacation that took him to Egypt and France. He also spent some time in England while delaying his return to the states in order to 'sail' aboard the Titanic.
He boarded as a first class passenger, enjoying all the comforts that came with that. He met frequently with a group of friends, among who were Helen Churchill Candee and Archibald Gracie, and mingled with other members of society on board. It is unclear whether Kent was asleep when the ship hit the iceberg, or whether he was with some others of his group in the smoking room. I've read accounts stating both.

But what is well documented are these two things: First, Kent encountered Helen Churchill Candee and helped her into lifeboat #6, but not until after she gave him an ivory and gold miniature of her mother, for safekeeping. And second, Kent helped to load many women and children into lifeboats before the ship listed heavily, and he was swept into the sea.
Edward Austin Kent's body was recovered (body #258) and was returned to Buffalo. Incredibly, the miniature given to him by Helen Churchill Candee was still in his pocket and was eventually returned to her. Kent is buried in Forest Lawn Cemetery here in Buffalo.
As I've spent time reading about Edward Kent it occurs to me that outside his body of work, and a few scant details of the Titanic disaster, we don't really know much about him personally. He was from a family of both wealth and stature here in Buffalo, and his family was active in the Unitarian Church (as it was called back then). It is likely that when John Albright donated the land for the church in 1906, that Kent was chosen to design it partially because of that connection. To my eye, it's his greatest work here in Buffalo.
Make one of your quarantine walks down Elmwood Avenue to the corner of West Ferry and check out that church. It's beautiful from the outside. But when the quarantine ends, go inside. Like so many other churches in Buffalo, it's true beauty lies within. Take a moment to search out the plaque to Edward Austin Kent, and think about the man who helped so many find safety that fateful night in April of 1912.

Titanic – The Buffalo Connection
by Ellen Mika Zelasko | Apr 14, 2020 | Buffalo People
A couple of days ago, I had a quick conversation with our son, Matt, about what to write about next on the blog. He mentioned that I might want to write about the Titanic disaster since the anniversary (April 14-15) was coming up. We laughed and that was the end of it.
Until today. I got to thinking.
Roughly 30 years ago, while visiting his grandparents, our then 4 year old son Matt, picked up a picture book about the greatest disasters of the 20th century. He was particularly enamored with the story of the Titanic. Ever since that day, everything pertaining to the Titanic has been of particular interest to him. And whenever any family member sees anything about the Titanic, we send it on to Matt.
One subject I don't remember ever discussing though, was whether there were any Buffalonians on the Titanic when it sank. I had heard that there was a Buffalo architect on board, but that's pretty much it.
That's what we're going to explore today.
So Were there any Buffalonians on Board the Titanic?
As a matter of fact there were two. Well, technically one resident of the city of Buffalo, and one resident of Kenmore, a Buffalo suburb. But really, we're all Buffalonians, aren't we? Both have interesting background stories. And both of those stories have the same ending.
The two couldn't have been more different. But they both ended up in Southhampton, England, at the same time, and both boarded the Titanic bound for Buffalo, where they both called home.
Here are their stories.
Edward Kent was born in Maine in 1854. His parents, Henry Sr. and Harriet Kent, moved to Buffalo in the late 1860's, where Henry was co-owner of Flint & Kent, an upscale department store, located in the 500 block of Main Street. The Kents were a very wealthy family, and were prominent members of Buffalo society. Which at the time, was substantial.
Edward graduated from Yale University and studied architecture in Paris. He worked in Syracuse until 1884 when he returned to Buffalo to live and work. He designed such notable buildings here as Temple Beth Zion on Delaware Avenue, later lost to a fire, the Unitarian Universalist Church of Buffalo on the northeast corner of Elmwood and West Ferry, and, one of my personal favorites, Chemical No. 5 Firehouse at 166 Cleveland Avenue in Buffalo.

Aboard the Ship
Kent was a confirmed bachelor, and lived at the elite Buffalo Club on Delaware Avenue. He traveled to France and Egypt as part of a two month vacation in the winter of 1912. He actually extended the trip in order to return home aboard the Titanic on it's maiden voyage. Kent was known to have mingled with other first class passengers aboard the ship, in particular Helen Churchill Candee and Archibald Gracie, both survivors of the disaster.

Kent was likely asleep in one of the first class cabins when the ship hit the iceberg. Shortly after, he was on deck, and by all accounts Kent assisted in the loading of the lifeboats. Helen Churchill Candee encountered him here as she was getting into one. She handed him a miniature portrait of her mother and a silver flask, and asked him to keep them safe.
Sadly Kent went down with the ship. His body was one of those recovered. He was eventually laid to rest in Forest Lawn Cemetery, here in Buffalo.
Henry Sutehall Jr.
Henry Sutehall Jr. was born in 1886 in Middlesex, England. His family moved to Buffalo in 1895, via the ship Paris out of Southampton. So, 1912 wasn't the first time Henry headed to New York City from Southampton. The family settled in Kenmore, on Lasalle Avenue. Henry Sutehall Sr. was a decorative plasterer by trade and worked on many of Buffalo's finer buildings, including the Unitarian Universalist Church, designed by none other than Mr. Edward Kent. I guess there have never been more than three degrees of separation here in Buffalo.
Sutehall's mother ran a store at the corner of Delaware and Mang Avenues. She sold everything from cigars to confections, to school supplies, to ice cream. Unusual at the time for a woman to run this type of business when her husband had a separate career. Interesting.

Henry Jr. worked at E. E. Denniston's in Buffalo as a 'trimmer', installing and repairing upholstery in carriages and automobiles. Remember that the Pierce Arrow and the Thomas Flyer were being manufactured here in Buffalo at that time. It was at this job that Henry met Howard Irwin and the two became close friends.
The Trip of a Lifetime
The two young men left Buffalo in January of 1910 to embark upon a trip around the world. According to letters, they spent the first year making their way across the U.S., working as trimmers, and sometimes musicians. Sutehall played the violin and Irwin was learning the clarinet. When they reached San Francisco, they left for Australia. It was here that Henry wrote to family members that he had fallen in love with a girl, had gotten engaged, and planned to return to Australia when the trip was over, to marry her.
Irwin too had found love along the way in the form of a traveling musician named Pearl.
The trip continued with Sutehall and Irwin splitting up and coming back together at least twice before meeting up again in England. Sutehall reportedly arrived in England first in order to spend a bit of time visiting with extended family who still lived in England, while waiting for the Titanic to depart Southampton.
It is thought that Irwin left in a hurry on an earlier voyage home, having received word that Pearl had become ill. (She passed away from pneumonia in October, 1911.) Sutehall was left to gather Irwin's steamer trunk, as well as his own belongings and bring everything back to Buffalo.
Henry Sutehall, Jr.
Henry held a third class ticket aboard Titanic. His accommodations would have been quite different than Kent's. He would have shared a bunk cabin with three other men. When the ship hit the iceberg at 11:40pm on April 14, Sutehall was likely awakened by the sound of it. Even if he had understood the gravity of the situation, he had no chance of getting into one of the lifeboats. He may have made it out of third class when the gates to steerage were finally unlocked at 2am on April 15, but by then all the boats were gone.
Henry Sutehall Jr. perished that night in the sinking. If his body was among those found, it was never identified.
I should mention that Howard Irwin's steamer trunk was found in the 1990's during salvage trips to the Titanic, which was located in 1985. There were letters and a diary in his trunk which Henry carried with him onto the ship. They were recovered and restored. Those letters and diary are how we know part of Henry's story. Those belongings are also among some of the Titanic displays that have traveled the world. They are, in a way, another Buffalo connection.
What began as an offhand remark by my son Matt, has turned into a day of interesting research about two very different Buffalonians. One born to money and privilege, a creator of some of Buffalo's great architecture, and a first class passenger on the ill fated Titanic. The other born to working class parents, a musician and tradesman, worked his way around the world, and a third class passenger on the same ship.
Both suffered the same fate in the end.
Today, take a moment to remember the lives lost on the Titanic, and the lives saved. How about that girl in Australia, who may or may not have ever heard that her fiancé was among the lost that day? And finally, think about the laws that were changed because of the way the Titanic disaster was dealt with that day.

Ex-Russian spy Sergei Skripal had poison in his home
March 10, 2018 by meziesblog.com, posted in News
Latest discoveries from Britain's investigation into Sergei Skripal's poisoning show the ex-Russian spy and his daughter, Yulia Skripal, were most likely poisoned at their home and secretly monitored by some unknown persons until emergency workers found them unconscious last weekend.
Investigators are retracing movements from the former Russian spy and his daughter before they collapsed from nerve-agent poisoning, as they try to discover how the toxin was administered.
Police have cordoned off sites including ex-spy Sergei Skripal's house, a car, the cemetery where his wife is buried, a restaurant and a pub.
Skripal and his daughter Yulia were found unconscious on a bench in Salisbury on Sunday and they are currently in critical condition at a local hospital.
Former London police chief Ian Blair said Friday that a police officer who is in serious condition visited Skripal's house — perhaps a hint that the nerve agent may have been delivered there.
Blair told BBC radio that Det. Sgt. Nick Bailey "has actually been to the house, whereas there is a doctor who looked after the patients in the open who hasn't been affected at all. There may be some clues floating around in here."
British authorities have deployed members of the military to assist police in their investigations.

Chime! One thing to note about previous anchors at Point Perp is generally they are always positioned well back from the cliff edge - so only two bolts can work as belays for several routes, and the bolts can be somewhat hidden amoungst vegetation and more weathered rock. Bolts right on the edge of the cliff - especially rings or FHs, really stand out like dogs balls on the smooth tops of the cliff - and are a major trip hazard. The area around Liquid Insanity and Rex Hunts is already plagued with an assortment of new bolts placed in the last few years that were already 'controversial' as they are not needed. I think many were placed by Defence for absquealing.
