ALLEGED BIBLE DISCREPANCIES/CONTRADICTIONS
Dr. Thompson says concerning inerrancy, "One may ask whether or not the word applies to matters involving every statement in the Bible on cosmology, botany, and the other sciences."1 Without hesitation, he attempts to show that the Bible in NOT inerrant by citing multiple alleged Bible Discrepancies/Contradictions. Unfortunately, Dr. Thompson doesn't provide Bible references for all his alleged discrepancies, so I have provided the ones he left out. In addition, at times the references are terse, so it may not be possible to fully understand the extent of his concern.
ALLEGED BIBLE DISCREPANCY/CONTRADICTION #1
SCRIPTURE: Gen 1:6, 7, 8, 14, 15, 17, 20; Ps 19:1; 150:1; Eze 1:22, 23, 25, 26; 10:1; Dan 12:3 (provided by me--PBM)
ERROR TYPE: Scientific
DESCRIPTION: "Firmament" is not an accurate scientific term.
Although it is not apparent in God's Holy Fire, evidently Dr. Thompson's objection here is that "firmament" in Hebrew refers to a physical object, such as a dome, instead of a gas. This is made clear in The Transforming Word, where they present "An Ancient Near-Eastern Model of the Cosmos" showing a flat earth, with a physical dome over the earth representing the dome of heaven, with stars and moon above this in the dome, and then the waters above the dome.2 The obvious implication by the author is that this is the unscientific model found in the Bible also.
However, not all would agree with this hypothesis. First, it appears that ancient Hebrew had no word for "gas," and so they had no way to express the modern concept of "atmosphere." Second, Maunder says the following about the firmament: "To the Hebrews the 'firmament' was the apparent void above, in which the clouds float and the lights of heaven pursue their appointed paths."3 In addition, Heard's apparent assumption of the flat earth is undoubtedly from Isaiah 11:12 which speak of the "four corners of the earth" as well as Isaiah 44:24 which speaks of God who "...stretched out the heavens, who spread out the earth by myself...." Now in regards to the expression, "the four corners of the earth," Willis in his 1980 commentary on Isaiah, said this:
The expression four corner of the earth (vs. 12; cf. Job 37:3; Rev 7:1) do not reflect an ancient notion that the earth was flat and the shape of a square or rectangle. Deuteronomy 22:12 speaks of the four corners of a cloak, and Ezekiel 7:2 of the four corners of the land of Israel, but in neither case is it implied that the biblical writer thought that the cloak or the land of Israel was square or rectangular. This is simply an idiomatic expression meaning "entirety."4
In addition, Isaiah 40:22 appears to imply that the earth is indeed not only "circular," but also a substantial three dimensional object. The Hebrew word chug in this verse can mean either "circle" or "vault," but two prominent Hebrew-English Lexicons prefer the meaning of "vault" for chug in Isaiah 40:22.5,6 Contrary to this, most of the English translators choose "circle." However, TMSG has "God sits high above the round ball of the earth" and DRB has "It is he that sitteth upon the globe of the earth," both trying to capture something of the three dimensional nature of this Hebrew word. Furthermore, it would appear that a globe-shaped earth is implied by Luke 17:34-36, since at the second coming of Christ, half of the earth will be sleeping and half of the earth awake and working.
Therefore, the assumptions behind Dr. Thompson's proposed allegation regarding the "firmament" appear to be faulty.
SCRIPTURE: Parable of the mustard seed, Mt 13:31-32; Mk 4:30-32 (PBM)
DESCRIPTION: The mustard seed is not the smallest seed.
"No difficulty is seen in the fact that some seeds might actually be smaller than a mustard seed. This trifling quibble disappears in the ancient proverb, 'small as a grain of mustard seed.' Besides, in the relative sense in which Christ spoke, it was a literal fact. And if that is not enough, it could easily be explained as an example of hyperbole, exaggeration for the sake of emphasis."7 It was proverbial in the use of the Rabbis for that which was small.8 Thus, we shouldn't be surprised to find Jesus using it as the way the Jews understood its usage.
Ted Stewart suggests the following solution:
Jesus did not say the mustard seed is the smallest (superlative) seed, but smaller (mikroteron = comparative in Greek), than other seed in Palestine.
Mark 4:31-32 Jesus compared mustard seed with other seed sown by farmers in Palestine.
In the Mishna Jewish rabbis who lived before, during and after Jesus, also used the mustard seed to refer to very small things.9
Note that Stewart's reference to mikroteron as being stated in the "comparative degree" as well as its English meaning is supported by Davis.10
SCRIPTURE: Raising of Jairus' daughter Mt 9:18-26; Mk 5:21-43; (Lk 8:40-56 PBM)
ERROR TYPE: Inconsistencies
DESCRIPTION: Inconsistencies in the narratives, where Mark says daughter is at the point of death, and Matt says that she has just died.
Mark's account is the longest of the three synoptic gospels and gives the most detail. Matthew is the shortest account. Both Mark and Luke include a message sent from Jairus' home indicating that his daughter had died. Therefore it is clear that Jairus had left his daughter near death and came to Jesus with faith he could heal her, but not knowing if she had died until the word came to him that she was dead. All three accounts show her as being dead before Jesus arrived with Jairus. Thus, "Matthew omits the message from the house (Luke 8:49) and states the case briefly: she is just dead; the father had left her dying, and he thought perhaps that she was dead by the time he came to Jesus."11 Matthew's shortening of the account is probably pressured by the restrictions of scroll length, especially since he gave so much space to Christ's discourses.
SCRIPTURE: Timing of the triumphal entry, cursing fig tree, cleansing temple Mk 11:1-19; Mt 21:1-22
DESCRIPTION: Inconsistencies in the narratives where in Mk it was the next day after the triumphal entry that these things happened, whereas it was immediately after these events in Mt.
Day one: Mark 11:1-11 and Matthew 21:1-11.
Mark and Matthew report Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem.
Mark, not Matthew, records Jesus' return to Bethany on day 1.
Day two: Mark 11:12-19 and Matthew 21:12-17.
Only Mark tells of the trip from Bethany to Jerusalem on day 2.
Only Mark tells of the cursing of the fruitless fig tree on the journey from Bethany to Jerusalem on the morning of day 2.
Both Mark and Matthew record that Jesus entered the Temple and drove out the money changers and merchants on day 2, though Matthew does not specify that it was on day 2 as Mark did.
At the end of day 2 Matthew specifies that they returned to Bethany, whereas Mark simply says they left Jerusalem.
Day three: Mark 11:20-28 and Matthew 21:18-23.
Mark and Matthew report that Jesus returned to Jerusalem on the day after the Temple cleansing. Only Mark says this was day 3.
Only Matthew says Jesus cursed the fig tree that morning.
Only Matthew tells us that the fig tree immediately (instantly) withered after this curse and that the apostles were amazed.
Mark 11:21, however, reports a different reaction on the part of Peter when he saw the withered tree: "Peter remembered and said to Jesus, Rabbi, look! The fig tree you cursed has withered.
"The fact Peter "remembered" the curse, implies that he was referring to Jesus' curse on day 2, not day 3." Stewart adds, "Matthew and Mark supplement and complement each other's records, giving us a full picture of what happened, without contradiction."12
SCRIPTURE: Mt 27:9
ERROR TYPE: Wrong citation
DESCRIPTION: Actual citation is for Zechariah 11:13. Instead, Matthew says it was spoken by the prophet Jeremiah.
Mt 27:9-10 does not appear to be even a loose translation of Zech 11:13. According to J. P. Lewis, the citation "...is independent of both the Septuagint and the Masoretic text."13 Since there is considerable dissimilarity in these two passages, it seems ill-advised to insist that Zechariah is the actual citation. Lewis lists the following possible solutions:
Efforts at solving the problem of attributing the passage to Jeremiah include the following suggestions: (1) that there is a mistake in transcription; (2) that Jeremiah stands as a name for the group of prophets of which Jeremiah and Zechariah are a part; (3) that a later unlearned writer added the word "Jeremiah"; (4) that Zechariah preserves a statement from Jeremiah not found elsewhere; and (5) that the citation is composite, using material from both prophets and thereby attributed to Jeremiah. The solution to the question is not known.14
Since all the early manuscripts confirm "Jeremiah" in Mt 27:9, there in no ground to say Mt 27:9 does not refer to Jeremiah. Therefore, it appears that this may be a conceptual/figurative fulfillment of prophecy rather than a literal fulfillment. Perhaps the citation to Jeremiah is because of the material in Jer 18:1-6 and 19:1-14 about the potter's field, and how the broken pots were good for nothing, just like the children of Israel at the time of Christ's death. Those people in Jeremiah's time sacrificed their sons to foreign gods in the potter's field. And they sacrificed God's Son too. Perhaps it was this material coupled with the citation in Zechariah to which Matthew was referring. If so, it would be reasonable to attribute this to Jeremiah, as he is the more prominent of the two prophets. Certainly Mark does this in 1:2-3, where he quotes Mal 3:1 as well as Isa 40:3, but attributes it to Isaiah since he was the more prominent prophet.15
SCRIPTURE: Luke 2:2
ERROR TYPE: Historically inaccurate.
DESCRIPTION: The census under Quirinius was held in A.D. 6, although Luke's Gospel places the census before the death of Herod the Great, who died in 4 B.C.
"According to Josephus (Antiq., 17:13, 15; 18:1,1) Quirinius became governor of Syria A.D. 6, when he took a census in Judea, which excited the opposition related by Luke in Acts 5:37."16 This might appear to be an inaccuracy on Luke's part since Jesus was born several years earlier than 6 A.D. However, it is clear that Luke knew the exact timing of this census because of what he wrote in Acts 5:37. In addition, the known accuracy of Luke as an historian should make us assume that he is not wrong in what he wrote. Dr. Ash summarizes potential solutions as follows:
A damaged inscription in the Lateran Museum appears to refer to Quirinius, and indicates that he served for two terms. However, that does not solve the problem since it is known that Saturninus and Varus served from 9 B.C. until 4 B.C. as governors of Syria.
The census may have begun during Quirinius' first office in 10 B.C., but was delayed in Palestine until the time of Jesus' birth in 6 B.C. Historical research do show that Augustus Caesar did order a census of Roman citizens in 8 B.C. and in 6 A.D.
The word translated "governor" was a general term that could refer to any ruling office. This opens the possibility that Quirinius could have held some other office that was connected to the census when Jesus was born.17
In addition to these contributions from Dr. Ash, an alternative reading of 2:2 in the ESV Bible is, "This was the registration before..." This is based on the translation of prootee, which can mean first, before (earlier, formerly), prominent, best, or most important,18 and it is clear from Swanson's reference that all these translations of prootee are used in the New Testament.
Obviously the final answer is not in at this time, but the remarkable accuracy of Luke should not be forgotten here.
"ALLEGED BIBLE DISCREPANCY/CONTRADICTION #7
SCRIPTURE: Acts 5:33-39
DESCRIPTION: Gamaliel's speech refers sequentially to uprisings by Theudas and Judas, but Josephus shows that Judas came before Theudas (Antiquities of the Jews 20.97-99).
Dr. Ash, commenting on Theudas in Acts 5:36, writes the following:
The only man known by that name from secular history is mentioned by Josephus (Antiquities XX. v. 1), but his revolt came about A.D. 44, after Judas, and indeed, after this speech by Gamaliel. Some have argued that the author of Acts, inventing this part of Gamaliel's speech, was caught, due to ignorance, in a serious anachronism. But Luke was a careful historian, and we prefer to think Gamaliel may have referred to another rebel named "Theudas", not mentioned elsewhere. Josephus notes that there were "10,000 other disorders" transpiring at this period. This could have been one of them.19
Again, the remarkable accuracy of Luke should not be forgotten here.
SCRIPTURE: Lk 4:16-30; Mt 13:53-58; Mk 6:1-6.
ERROR TYPE: Incorrect sequence of events.
DESCRIPTION: Luke shows that Jesus' return to his home synagogue occurs at the beginning of his ministry. But Matthew and Mark show that it comes some time later.
Coffman, in his commentary on Mark 6:2, says the following: "This was the second rejection of Jesus at Nazareth, the first being recorded in Luke 4:15ff. Matthew 13:54-58 is parallel to this account of the second rejection."20
In Stevens' and Burton's A Harmony of the Gospels, they clearly show that the rejection in Luke 4:16-30 is the "First rejection at Nazareth," and that the "Second rejection at Nazareth" is recorded in Mt 13:54-58 and Mk 6:1-6a.21
Gospel Parallels shows a similar distinction in their outline.22
McMillan in his commentary on Mark says the following:
Considering the elements that make up this situation, it would not be impossible that such an incident occurred more than once. There seems to be a definite individuality to the record of a similar incident in Luke (Luke 4:16-30). There seems to be no common agreement among commentators as to whether the Lukan passage represents a variation of this same incident or the record of another different but similar encounter.23
Therefore, it seems reasonable to view Luke's account as the first rejection, and the accounts of Matthew and Mark as the second rejection.
SCRIPTURE: John 2:13-17
DESCRIPTION: John's gospel shows Jesus' cleansing of the temple at the beginning of his ministry, but the synoptic gospels show it during the last week of Jesus' life.
Frank Pack, in his commentary on the Gospel of John, notes that there are significant differences between the cleansing of the temple at the beginning of Jesus' ministry found in John, and the cleansing of the temple found in the Synoptic Gospels at the close of his ministry. He then says,
A common solution given today is that the cleansing at the close of Jesus' ministry is the only one which took place, and that John located that cleansing at the beginning of Jesus' ministry for purposes of his own. John's account, in other words, is not in its proper place chronologically. This overlooks the differences between the accounts and rests upon the assumption that there could have been only one cleansing.
He then argues that since Jesus' ministry was 3 years in length, there is no reason to think there wasn't 2 cleansings, and that the first cleansing was the reason for the early opposition by the Jews.24
Burton Coffman, in commenting on John 2:13, says the following:
The cleansing of the temple about to be related should not be confused with a second cleansing during the final week of our Lord's life on earth (Matt. 21:12f; Mark 11:15; Luke 19:45). In this cleansing, Jesus made use of a scourge, but none was mentioned in the synoptic accounts of the second cleansing.25
In their commentary on John 2:13-22, the ESV Study Bible says this:
The first major confrontation with Jewish leaders in John's Gospel takes place on the occasion of Jesus' clearing of the Jerusalem temple at the Jewish Passover. (The Synoptic Gospels record a second, later temple clearing, just prior to the crucifixion; see Mark 11:15-19 par.).
Therefore, there is no adequate reason to reject the concept that the temple was cleansed by Jesus both at the beginning of his ministry and at the end also.
ALLEGED BIBLE DISCREPANCY/CONTRADICTION #10
SCRIPTURE: John
ERROR TYPE: Incorrect sequence of events
DESCRIPTION: Vague, generalized complaint.
Clearly the Gospel of John is not like the Synoptic Gospels in some ways. For example, John gives us a different view of Jesus from the beginning: Jesus is God. However, the Synoptic Gospels give us a similar view at the end. William Hendriksen, in his commentary on The Gospel of John, points out the striking similarities. Hendriksen notes the following:
There is not contradiction in doctrine.
The general scheme of events is also the same in both cases.
The "words of Jesus" as recorded in the Synoptics are not at all inconsistent with those recorded in the Fourth Gospel.
Even on minor points it has not been established that the Fourth Gospel is in conflict with the Synoptics.26
Thankfully, the Gospel of John gives us a complimentary view of Christ, things that we that we need to know about him, things that we need to hear from him. These wonderful things about Jesus do not in anyway conflict with the Synoptics. But the picture of Jesus is so much fuller for the disciple of Christ after reading the Gospel of John. Thank God for the Gospel of John!
SCRIPTURE: Acts 9:1-18; 22:3-16; 26:9-18 (PBM).
ERROR TYPE: Inconsistent details
DESCRIPTION: Conflicting accounts regarding Saul's conversion. This discrepancy is provided as a story about one of the students who observed the differing accounts of Paul's conversion in Acts. The student thought that any inconsistency within a story was sufficient evidence to compromise his faith. He found those pressing inerrancy of the Bible to be weakening his faith.
I have no assurance that the details of this story are real or fabricated. The purpose is not to formally announce any specific alleged Bible discrepancy, but rather to tell fundamentalists that they are destroying peoples' faith by trying to defend the Bible. At any rate, if this is a formal complaint regarding the differences in the accounts of Paul's conversion, those differences are not presented by Dr. Thompson. The first account of Paul's conversion is found in Acts 9:1-18, and it is straightforward. The second account in Acts 22:3-16 was presented by Paul as a prisoner to the Jews in Jerusalem who were trying to kill him. The third account is in Acts 26:9-18 and was presented by Paul as a prisoner to King Agrippa and Festus, along with many high-ranking persons in the political and military realms. These accounts are different because of the differing audiences and circumstances. However, there are no contradictions between the accounts. Rather, we get a fuller picture of what happened by reading all accounts. Think about this: Luke is one of the most careful historians in history. Do you really think that Luke was just throwing words around, doing whatever he liked? Dr. Thompson is in essence saying that Luke was contradictory with Luke! The fact that these accounts are not all the same reflect honest reporting, and this reflects reality instead of fantasy.
After presenting his formal allegations against the Bible in order to try and defeat the concept of inerrancy, he makes this statement:
These problems are not insoluble. More information might actually resolve many of these difficulties or future research might clarify specific discrepancies between the biblical narrative and our knowledge of secular history. Often the answer involves the very simple matter of the genre of the writing. The ancient writers worked with standard that are not our own.27
However, his comments do not appear to represent full disclosure. Many of the references I have given are references from men who taught Bible at the same facility just a few years ago, and who published commentaries in the same Living Word Commentary series that Dr. Thompson contributed his 2 Corinthians and Hebrews commentaries to, and all were published from the same ACU Press. Dr. Thompson knows these people and their writings. But he did not include even a shred of their learning and scholarship to mitigate his allegations against the Bible. The Living Word Commentary, with all its individual commentaries, are at this moment available at the ACU Library. So much is already known concerning these alleged contradictions, and these answers to Dr. Thompson's allegations against the Bible are very suitable. Why did he not mention this mitigating information from his own colleagues? Every honest scholar I have read always mentions those who do not agree with him, and considers their positions and comments on their evidences. Even Darwin in his On the Origin of the Species, openly admitted the weaknesses in his Theory of Evolution, and commented on those potential theory killers. Why do we not find that kind of openness and honesty in this chapter of God's Holy Fire?
The goal of this chapter in God's Holy Fire is to remove from the reader the sense that the New Testament is authoritative for our lives and our worship today. These are details that the authors don't think we need. We just need to know that the Bible is inspired to save us, but not to instruct us about our 21st century morality or worship.
This is the face of Liberal Protestantism.

India and Bangladesh have straightened their border out. But this was no simple tweaking of a line. Dozens of tiny little enclaves changed hands. Some of them enclaves within enclaves within enclaves.
Imagine if the town you lived in was surrounded by a county that actually belonged to a different state. But that alien county was an enclave within the borders of your own state. An enclave within an enclave.
Now imagine instead of states you're talking nations, and those lines on the map are international boundaries.
The result has been that the 50,000 or so people in these enclaves on the border between India and Bangladesh have been effectively without basic services for almost 70 years.
The key priority for the inhabitants now is to get ID papers for the first time, so they can get access to services such as health care and schooling without risk of getting arrested. In the past, they could be jailed for being illegal migrants, just because they crossed the frontier to get to a hospital.
The people of the region all share the same religion and language. The border madness has its roots in the 18th century when rival princes traded estates back and forth, and nobody cared much so long as taxes were paid. Then in 1947 the old British Indian empire dissolved: India became independent but Muslim regions broke away to form the new nation of Pakistan. Later Bangladesh seceded from Pakistan. But until Saturday, the border issue had been unresolved.


The Irish poet and dramatist William Butler Yeats (1865-1939) was perhaps the greatest poet of the 20th century. He won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1923 and was the leader of the Irish Literary Renaissance.
The work of William Butler Yeats forms a bridge between the romantic and often decadent poetry of the fin de siècle and the hard clear language of modern poetry. Under his leadership the Abbey Theatre Company of Dublin contributed several major dramatists to the modern theater.
Yeats was born on June 13, 1865, in Dublin. He was the oldest of four children of John Butler Yeats, a noted portrait artist of the Pre-Raphaelite school, who supplemented William's formal schooling at the Godolphin School in Hammersmith, England, with lessons at home that gave him an enduring taste for the classics. The effect of John Yeats's forceful personality and his personal philosophy—a blend of estheticism and atheism—upon William were felt much later, in the mature poet's abiding interest in magic and the occult sciences and in his highly original system of esthetics. During his holidays each year in Country Sligo (the "Yeats Country" of modern tourism), the mysterious wildness and beauty of western Ireland made a deep impression.
At the age of 19, Yeats enrolled in the Metropolitan School of Art in Dublin, intending to become a painter. Here he formed a lifelong friendship with the poet "AE" (George Russell), and a year later they founded the Dublin Hermetic Society. In 1887 Yeats joined the Theosophical Society of London and also became literary correspondent for two American newspapers. Among his acquaintances at this time were his father's artist and writer friends, including William Morris, William Ernest Henley, George Bernard Shaw, and Oscar Wilde.
In 1889 the Fenian party leader, John O'Leary, introduced Yeats to the woman who became the greatest single influence on his life and poetry, Maud Gonne. A passionate and beautiful woman, fiercely involved in the politics of Irish independence, she was Yeats's first and deepest love. She admired his poetry but rejected his repeated offers of marriage, choosing instead to marry Maj. John MacBride, later executed by the British government for his part in the Easter Rebellion of 1916. Maud Gonne came to represent for Yeats the ideal of feminine beauty (she appears as Helen of Troy in several of his poems), but a beauty disfigured and wasted by what Yeats considered an unsuitable marriage and her involvement in a hopeless political cause.
Always an organizer of artists and a joiner of groups, Yeats became a founding member of the Rhymers' Club in London in 1891 and of the Irish Literary Society of Dublin in 1892. During this period he formed some of the most important friendships of his life. Mrs. Olivia Shakespear, whom he met in 1894, became his confidante; John Millington Synge, to whom he was introduced in 1896, later shared the codirectorship of the Abbey Theatre with Yeats; and Lady Augusta Gregory, whom he met in 1896, completed the feminine trinity of friendships of which Yeats later wrote in the poem "Friends": "Three women that have wrought/ What joy is in my days." For 20 years Yeats spent his summers as Lady Gregory's quest at Coole Park, her home in Galway. Her son, Maj. Robert Gregory, a young painter who died in World War I, and her nephew, Hugh Lane, an art collector, both figured prominently in the poems of Yeats's later period.
The young American poet Ezra Pound, the instigator of the imagist and vorticist movements in modern poetry, came to London expressly to meet Yeats in 1909. Pound later married Mrs. Shakespear's daughter Dorothy, and he served as Yeats's secretary off and on between 1912 and 1916. Pound introduced Yeats to the Japanese No drama, which gave a distinctive discipline and mood—ceremonial formality and symbolism—to Yeats's verse dramas. His poetry during this period began to show the hardness, brevity, and conciseness that characterize the best poems of his final period.
The death of Maud Gonne's husband seemed to offer promise that she might now accept Yeats's proposal of marriage. Upon her final refusal in 1917, he proposed to her daughter, Iseult MacBride, only to be rejected by her too. That same year he married Miss George Hyde-Less, daughter of an aristocratic Anglo-Irish family. Soon after their wedding, his wife developed the power of automatic writing and began to utter phrases of a strange doctrine, seemingly dictated by spirits from another world, in her sleep. Yeats copied down these fragments and incorporated them into his occult esthetic system, published as A Vision in 1925. A daughter, Anne Butler Yeats, was born in 1919, and a son, William Michael, 2 years later.
Yeats's first book of poems, The Wanderings of Oisin and Other Poems, was published in 1889. In the long title poem, he began his celebration of the ancient Irish heroes Oisin, Finn, Aengus, and St. Patrick. This interest was evident also in his collection of Irish folklore: Fairy and Folk Tales (1888). His long verse drama, The Countess Cathleen (1892), drew criticism because of its unorthodox theology, but it represents a successful fusion in dramatic form of ancient beliefs with modern Irish history. His collection of romantic tales and mood sketches, The Celtic Twilight (1893), attracted the attention of folklore collectors, among them Lady Gregory, who dated her interest in Yeats from her reading of this volume.
Yeats's The Secret Rose (1897) includes poems that he called personal, occult, and Irish, and it contains his rose and tree symbols based on Rosicrucian and Cabalistic doctrines. More figures from ancient Irish history and legend appeared in this volume: King Fergus, Conchubar the Red Branch King, and Yeats's most powerful hero, Cuchulain. The Wind among the Reeds (1899) won the Royal Academy Prize as the best book of poems published that year.
An important milestone in the history of the modern theater occurred in 1902, when Yeats, Maud Gonne, Douglas Hyde, and George Russell founded the Irish National Theatre Society, out of which grew the Abbey Theatre Company in 1904. Yeats's experience with the theater gave to his volume of poems In the Seven Woods (1907) a new style—less elaborate, less romantic, and more matter-of-fact in language and imagery. These changes were less noticeable in the play contained in this volume, On Baile's Strand. His play The Green Helmet, contained in a volume of poems published in 1910 by his sister's press, still exhibited his preoccupation with ancient royalty and "half-forgotten things," but his poetry was unmistakably new. Yeats's play At the Hawk's Well, written and produced in 1915, showed the influence of Japanese No drama in its use of masks and in its dances by a Japanese choreographer.
From 1918 to 1923 Yeats and his wife lived in a restored tower at Ballylee (Galway), of which the poet said, "I declare this tower is my symbol." Signifying restored tradition, ancient yet modern, nobility, aristocracy, and masculinity, the tower became a prominent symbol in his best poems, notably in those that make up The Tower (1928).
Because Yeats based his esthetic on the principle of opposites, his personal life was made complete when he officially became the "smiling public man" of his poem "Among School Children" through two events: he was elected an Irish senator in 1922, a post he filled conscientiously until his retirement in 1928; and he received the Nobel Prize for literature in 1923. His acceptance of the role and its responsibilities had been foreshadowed in his poems Responsibilities (1914). The outbreak of civil war in Ireland in 1922 had heightened his conviction that the artist must lead the way through art, rather than through politics, to a harmonious ordering of chaos.
Yeats devised his doctrine of the mask as a means of presenting very personal thoughts and experiences to the world without danger of sentimentality or that kind of "confessional poetry" that is often a subtle form of self-pity. By discovering the kind of man who would be his exact opposite, Yeats believed he could then put on the mask of this ideal "anti-self" and thus produce art from the synthesis of opposing natures. For this reason his poetry is often structured on paired opposites, as in "Sailing to Byzantium," in which oppositions work against each other creatively to form a single unity, the poem itself.
Yeats turned to magic for the nonlogical system that would oppose and complete his art. He drew upon theosophy, Hermetic writings, and Buddhism, as well as upon Jewish and Christian apocryphal books (for example, the Cabala). To explain his theories he invented "a lunar parable": the sun and moon, day and night, and seasonal cycles became for him symbols of the harmonious synthesis of opposites, a means of capturing "in a single thought reality and justice." He illustrated his theory with cubist drawings of the gyres (interpenetrating cones) to show how antithetical elements in life (solarlunar, moral-esthetic, objective-subjective) interact. By assigning a different type of personality to each of the 28 phases of the moon (arranged like spokes on a "Great Wheel"), he attempted to show how one could find his exact opposite and at the same time discover his place in the scheme of universal order. Yeats believed that history was cyclic and that every 2,000 years a new cycle begins, which is the opposite of the cycle that has preceded it. In his poem "The Second Coming," the birth of Christ begins one cycle, which ends, as the poem ends, with a "rough beast," mysterious and menacing, who "slouches towards Bethlehem to be born."
Yeats's last plays, Purgatory (1938) and The Death of Cuchulain (1938), also presaged his own death, which occurred on Jan. 28, 1939, in Roquebrune, France, where ill health had forced him into semiretirement. His final volumes of poems were The Winding Stair (1933), A Full Moon in March (1935), and New Poems (1938). His Last Poems (1940) brought Cuchulain from the grave into a realm beyond death, and this volume included Yeats's last poem, "Under Ben Bulben," in which he dictated the epitaph that adorns the headstone of his grave in Drumcliffe Churchyard (Sligo): "Cast a cold eye on life on death. Horseman, pass by!"
The only biography of Yeats is Joseph M. Hone, W. B. Yeats, 1865-1939 (1943; 2d ed. 1962); but additional biographical information is in Alexander Norman Jeffares, W. B. Yeats: Man and Poet (1949). The best studies of Yeats's poetry are Richard Ellmann, Yeats: The Man and the Masks (1948) and The Identity of Yeats (1954); Donald A. Stauffer, The Golden Nightingale (1949); Thomas R. Henn, The Lonely Tower: Studies in the Poetry of W. B. Yeats (1950; 2d ed. 1965); and John Unterecker's indispensable A Reader's Guide to William Butler Yeats (1959). An excellent short study of Yeats is William York Tindall's pamphlet, W. B. Yeats (1966).
On Yeats as a dramatist, particularly useful are Helen H. Vendler, Yeats's Vision and the Later Plays (1963), and Leonard Nathan, Figures in a Dance: William Butler Yeats' Development as a Tragic Dramatist, 1884-1939 (1965). Two excellent collections of essays by various critics are James Hall and Martin Steinman, eds., The Permanence of Yeats: Selected Criticism (1950), and John Unterecker, ed., Yeats: A Collection of Critical Essays (1963). Recommended for general background on the period are Ernest Boyd, Ireland's Literary Renaissance (1916); Dorothy Macardle, The Irish Republic (1937); William York Tindall, Forces in Modern British Literature, 1885-1956 (1965); and Donald Connery, The Irish (1968).

'Miss A Day' begins with a light percussion backed synth playing nice sounding, slow sweeping chords. These continue as a big F&W style bassline drops in. Already you can hear the harmony as bass and synth backing work together. Something good is growing here. Very subtle beginnings of a melody are played by a softer synth in the background. This gradually edges its way forward and becomes more prominent. The ensuing breakdown goes quiet, focussing on the new synth, then it gains strength, pulling in some female vocals 'Aahs' (very nice indeed). This continues, with the synth developing into something much more massive, playing a falling scale driven melody. The track drops and its just awesome. Backed by the female voice every now and again, you can't escape the force of this synth driven melody, it just opwers itself out and drives forward. It drops off for a short section before another breakdown comes about. Now, can you say build up? The track fades to an eerie howl-induced silence, only for the massive, massive synth to explode and build to where the tracks drops. Mayhem. This is a killer track, not on par with 'You Will Understand', but a close second. Powerful, epic, awesome.
'Crowdpusher' sports a snappy kick and quite a gutsy bassline which rolls along nicely and deeply. The track is quite progressive in nature for a minute or so until there is a short break and then things begin to develop. A high pitch, kind of springy trance synth makes itself heard, playing a strong repeating melody. As things progress, backing synths playing chord progressions fill up the track and create a really nice full sound to the track. More ambient elements are added - high pitched pads sweeping way up above everything else creating a great feeling and atmosphere. A short gentle lead synth only breakdown brings on one of those rest periods where the beat and bass kick along for a short while. here though, it also acts as one big build up section, as the synth melody is re-introduced and faded in like before, until you are treated to one last main section of strong melodic action.
Fantastic! 'Crowdpusher' is a great track but 'Miss A Day' is an awesome track!! Trance/Hard Trance fans cannot go wrong with this one. F&W show what they're made of once again. Brilliant.

THAI MILITARY DETAIN JOURNALIST AND CHARGE HIM FOR CARRYING BODY ARMOUR.
In Alastair Leithead, Andrew Drummond, Uncategorised by Andrew Drummond 24th August 2015
NO BODY ARMOUR? NO TRIP TO BANGKOK
Alastair-Leathead
Thailand's military government has arrested and charged a journalist for carrying body armour and a helmet at Suvarnabhnumi international airport.
In the farcical incident the Hong Kong journalist Anthony Kwan has been charged under the 1987 Arms Control Act., which prohibits the possession of military equipment without a licence.
Journalists based at the Maneeya Centre in Bangkok have a veritable treasure trove of the stuff, so much so that they could hold an 'on the front line' fashion contest – (but then of course so do many shops in Bangkok)
This may be because the Royal Thai Army has successfully targeted more journalists than foreign aggressors of late and its certainly put paid to a few. The soldiers just like shooting, but then again its main function like the Burmese Tatmadaw is for internal subjugation.
Former friend and colleague BBC correspondent Alastair Leithead, more recently LA based which was very fitting, was quite the sartorial war correspondent. Below is a picture of us together.
In this one Alastair's camouflage is not very good. In fact it's shagadelic. Judging by body armour in this photo taken at the Canadian Ambassador's residence I think I must have just come from the barricades at Rajaprasong.
Not so much camouflage as shagadelic. Drummond though clearly is dressed appropriately for Bangkok
I'm not sure wheher Anthony Kwan from Hong Kong is being treated as a journalist or foreign aggressor or whether the authorities were just tee'd off they had had not arrested anyone after the Erawan shrine atrocity.
The FCCT has issued the following statement:
In a week in which two Hong Kong residents were killed and six injured by the Erawan shrine bomb, the professional membership of the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Thailand is dismayed to learn that a photo-journalist from Hong Kong has been detained and charged for carrying body armour and a helmet.
Hok Chun 'Anthony' Kwan, who was assigned by Initium Media Technology last week to cover the aftermath of the Erawan shrine bomb, was stopped at Suvarnabhumi Airport as he was about to board a flight back to Hong Kong. He is being charged with possessing an illegal weapon, which carries a prison sentence of up to five years, and which will be tried in a military court. Body armour and helmets used by journalists are not offensive weapons and should not be treated as such.
Anthony Kwan is being charged under the 1987 Arms Control Act, which prohibits the possession of military equipment without a licence. However, the use of body armour and helmets is routine by journalists around the world, and is clearly to enable them to do their jobs in dangerous situations. The deaths of two foreign journalists in Bangkok from gunfire during the political unrest in 2010 underscores the need for this kind of protection. Journalists based in Bangkok have openly worn body armour during the more recent political turmoil without any action being taken against them by the Thai authorities. It is now a requirement of big media organisations that their journalists carry body armour and helmets into potentially risky environments.
The FCCT has in the past asked the Thai authorities to address this issue, so that journalists can purchase, import, and carry adequate protective equipment. The case of Anthony Kwan presents an opportunity now to find a solution. We urge the authorities not to press ahead with the criminal case against Mr. Kwan, and to work with the media community in Thailand to decriminalise the legitimate use of body armour and other relevant and purely protective items.

Album Review, England, Folk, Folk-Punk December 14, 2021 1 Comment
The second album from Midlands based Star Botherers is a fine mix of Folk, Punk and social commentary.
Now if one band has dominated the Celtic-Punk scene on these islands in the last twelve months it has to have been Ferocious Dog. The runaway success of their recent album The Hope has only continued their rise in popularity and they've plenty more in the bank to come too. Along with their success they've managed to ferment a whole crew of regular support acts wherever they go that play a similar kind of broadly left-wing Folk-Punk. Some of these are pretty damn good with The Silk Road, The Leylines, The Whipjacks leaping to mind, but also many more are drippy studenty singer-songwriter types, a band that I knew existed in same milieu as FD but I hadn't heard was the Star Botherers. Coming from the same small town as Ferocious Dog, Warsop near Mansfield in Nottinghamshire, they have a good relationship together with FD covering a few of their songs and Broken Soldier features on the new FD album, The Hope. It's an area famous pretty much just for coal mining which ceased in the area 30 years ago but like most mining communities continues to define where they live.
Star Botherers from top left: Ellis Waring – Bouzouki, Mandolin, Guitars, Ukulele * Brad Drury – Percussion * Joel Howe – Guitars, Accordion, Vocals * bottom left: Andrew ( Bart) Hawkins – Lead Vocals, Rhythm Guitar * Dave Drury – Bass, Vocals *
Recording, mix, master, produced: Joel Howe
Tales Of Layton Rakes is the Star Botherers second album after debut Happy Angry from 2017, which itself was preceded by a handful of demos that are now unavailable. Some of the tracks from those early days have been re-recorded here and the one or two I have heard have benefitted from the update. The album opens with, I think the album's best song, the modern sea-shanty '13 Years In Oregon' a gloriously updated version of a track that appeared on their very first EP. The song steams along at a great pace telling of a life on the sea with some great lyrics and nice vocals from Andrew putting on a sort of Yank drawl. It's a great wee opener and not what I was expecting from a band that I had imagined were prone mostly to jokey songs. The first of the modern tracks is up next and 'Spoons' is, as most UK based residents will know, the nickname for the cheap and (sometimes) cheerful (sometimes not) pub chain JD Weatherspoon. In the modern day of gentrification it's often the only place in some city centres where working class people can afford a couple of pints. It's common these days for people to bash Spoons under different guises but underneath it's always that the owner of Spoons was prominent in the 'Leave' campaign. This is followed by 'Blackpool' and a list of things about why the town is "Shit, Shit, Shit". Catchy and it chugs along with a story about a day out in the famous seaside town. 'Let It Stand' tells of the plan to erect a statue of Maggie Thatcher in her home town of Grantham not far from where the band are from. Needless to say it's not universally popular but to to everyone's surprise the band are in favour but as a way to remember what she stood far. 'Just Around The Corner' is another older song re-recorded. A jaunty folky tale of working your life away to make a decent life for you and your family and the breaks you get and more often don't get. All quite serious stuff but hidden away in the kind of song that you could easily end up swinging strangers around a dance floor to. 'Another Lidl Song' is about the cheap but popular Lidl supermarket that is the fastest growing supermarket in Britain. 'Kyle And Norton' compares the two staples of British telly swopping their shows and how they get on. A clever and witty song.
'Freethinker' is another re-recorded song that has been covered by Ferocious Dog and it sounds like FD copied it note perfect! 'Swearing In Songs' is a slower Country-ish number with rather understated swearing considering the subject matter. 'Silence Is Acceptable' almost reaches Celtic-Punk in it's intensity with a roll call of people and groups who fought for rights for all while 'He Got Dreads' I would say is about the kind of person who sneers at Spoons and Lidl and working class people in general. All the songs here are written by lead singer Andrew Hawkins with the exception of the next song, 'Oddly Excluded'. Originally recorded for inclusion on the tribute album The Pete Drake Project (Vol. 1) and is one of the album highlights here. The album ends with 'Sailors Grave' and another marvelous song about the sea. Bit more Punky it definitely lifts the album at the end.
The album is released tomorrow and is available for pre-order below. It was recorded, produced, mixed and mastered by Joel Howe at the Black Market recording studio at home in Warsop and the CD comes with a whopping 16 page lyric booklet. Lyrically it they do seem caught between being an outright jokey band and their more serious material. A balance that will come in time I'm sure. Overall it's a great album but like most Celtic or Folk-Punk it's probably best to hear these songs in the live context as it is undoubtedly perfect for drinking and lepping about to!

Lands future deal
The Steelers signed Fitzpatrick to a reserve/future contract Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Fitzpatrick spent the majority of the campaign on the Steelers' practice squad, but he saw one elevation in Week 5, through he failed to garner a target across five offensive snaps. With his new contract, the 2021 fourth-round pick will have a chance to compete for a roster spot throughout the offseason.
Published: Wed, Jan 11 at 2:30pm by Rotowire.com
Fitzpatrick reverted to the Titans' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Analysis: Fitzpatrick played five of 64 total offensive snaps against the Commanders in Week 5 after being elevated from the practice squad for the first time this season. The 24-year-old, who caught five passes for 49 yards and a touchdown over four games last season, did not record a statistic against Washington, and his only significant impact came on an illegal block above the waist that negated a 17-yard run by Derrick Henry. Fitzpatrick is now eligible for just two more such elevations while with…read more
Will suit up Week 5
Tennessee elevated Fitzpatrick from its practice squad to its active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game at Washington, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Fitzpatrick joined the Titans' practice squad before the season started, but he hasn't played a snap yet in 2022. He's behind Robert Woods, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Cody Hollister and Kyle Philips in Tennessee's wide receiver pecking order.
Published: Sat, Oct 8 at 2:50pm by Rotowire.com
Signs practice squad deal
The Titans signed Fitzpatrick to their practice squad Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Fitzpatrick, a 2021 fourth-round pick, caught five passes for 49 yards across four games as a rookie. With Julio Jones and A.J. Brown gone, the 6-foot-2 pass catcher figured to have an easier shot at carving out a role in Tennessee's wideout room this season, but he failed to take advantage during training camp and will start a second straight season on the Titans' practice squad.
Published: Wed, Aug 31 at 11:04am by Rotowire.com
Waived by Titans
The Titans waived Fitzpatrick on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The 2021 fourth-round pick had a nice opportunity to compete for playing time in a remade WR room, but he apparently couldn't make an impression and instead lands on the wrong side of the roster bubble. Fitzpatrick caught five passes in four games as a rookie and will turn 25 by the end of the 2022 NFL season.
Published: Tue, Aug 30 at 2:08pm by Rotowire.com
Another inefficient showing
Fitzpatrick tallied two catches on five targets for 23 yards in Saturday's 26-23 preseason win over the Cardinals.
Analysis: Fitzpatrick finished second on the team in targets, but he did little with the opportunity. He closes the preseason with five receptions on 11 targets for 62 yards across three games. Fitzpatrick could be on the roster bubble, with the likes of Racey McMath and Cody Hollister potentially surpassing him on the depth chart.
Seeking consistency
Fitzpatrick caught both of his targets for 29 yards in Saturday's 13-3 preseason win over Tampa Bay.
Analysis: Fitzpatrick showed some chemistry with Malik Willis, recording receptions of 18 and 11 yards in conjunction with the rookie quarterback. Coach Mike Vrabel specifically commented on Fitzpatrick's work after the game, noting he wanted to see more consistent blocking and route running from the second-year receiver, per Ben Arthur of The Tennessean. On the other hand, Vrabel praised Fitzpatrick for his work on special teams. Fitzpatrick will be looking to secure a spot on the roster in the final…read more
Published: Mon, Aug 22 at 9:59am by Rotowire.com
Lack of impact
Fitzpatrick managed only reception on four targets for 10 yards in Thursday's 23-10 preseason loss to the Ravens.
Analysis: Fitzpatrick played throughout the game but saw the majority of his targets in the closing moments. That's not a particularly positive sign for his potential role with the Titans come the regular season. That's even more the case given the positive comments that have come from camp regarding the performance of Racey McMath, Fitzpatrick's primary competition for the fifth spot on the receiver depth chart.
Published: Fri, Aug 12 at 10:11pm by Rotowire.com
Feeling more prepared
Fitzpatrick is preparing to compete for a larger role in Tennessee's offense in 2022, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Fitzpatrick struggled to maintain a consistent role in his rookie campaign, as he failed to make Tennessee's roster out of training camp and recorded only five total receptions. However, he feels more prepared heading into his second season as a pro and has gained a better understanding of the team's expectations. The Titans overhauled their wide receiver corps this offseason, but Fitzpatrick will still have to compete with the likes of Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Kyle Philips for consistent…read more

Quiet rookie campaign
Fitzpatrick closed his rookie season with five receptions for 49 yards and a touchdown across seven games.
Analysis: After being selected in the fourth round of the 2021 NFL Draft, Fitzpatrick failed to make the Tennessee roster out of training camp. However, he managed to fight his way from the practice squad back to the active roster by mid-November. Thereafter, Fitzpatrick was regularly inactive on game days -- including in Week 18 -- though he managed his first touchdown as a pro in Week 11. With Marcus Johnson (hamstring) and Chester Rogers both headed to free agency, Fitzpatrick could find himself…read more

Sidelined again
Fitzpatrick (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Texans.
Analysis: Fitzpatrick's status on game day has largely been dictated by the health of those above him on the depth chart. With Julio Jones (hamstring) available, Fitzpatrick will be inactive for the fourth time in the last five games.
Published: Sun, Jan 9 at 9:15am by Rotowire.com
Returns from COVID list
Fitzpatrick (undisclosed) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Fitzpatrick was placed on the COVID-19 list Dec. 14 but has now been cleared to rejoin the active roster. He'll have a full week of practice to get ready for Week 17 against the Dolphins.
Published: Fri, Dec 24 at 10:07am by Rotowire.com
Placed on reserve/COVID-19 list
Fitzpatrick was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: The 23-year-old will now enter the league's COVID-19 protocols COVID-19, putting his ability to play in Week 15 against the Steelers in jeopardy. Fitzpatrick was a healthy scratch in Week 14 versus the Jaguars, so if he's unable to go Sunday, it likely won't affect the wide receiver rotation much at all.
Sitting against Jaguars
Fitzpatrick (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Fitzpatrick has been active for each of the Titans' last three games, and he was on the field for 78 percent of offensive snaps in Week 11. However, he's slipped down the depth chart due to the return of both Julio Jones (hamstring) and Racey McMath (quadriceps). While it was expected that Fitzpatrick would lose his significant role due to the return of Jones, McMath jumping him on the depth chart comes as a surprise.
Published: Sun, Dec 12 at 8:46am by Rotowire.com
Makes one catch
Fitzpatrick recorded one reception on one target for 14 yards in Sunday's 36-13 loss to New England.
Analysis: Fitzpatrick was only minimally involved in the Titans' offense, even given a number of significant injuries among the wide-receiver corps. He found the field for 12 offensive snaps, behind each of Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Cody Hollister and Chester Rogers. Given that Julio Jones (hamstring) will be eligible to come off injured reserve in Week 14 against Jacksonville, Fitzpatrick could slip further down the depth chart moving forward.
Published: Mon, Nov 29 at 8:02am by Rotowire.com
Should get opportunity
Fitzpatrick will likely fill a regular role in three-receiver sets during Sunday's game against the Patriots, Ben Arthur of The Tennessean reports.
Analysis: During the Titans' Week 11 loss to the Texans, Fitzpatrick was active for the second game of his career and came away with his first touchdown. With A.J. Brown (chest), Julio Jones (hamstring) and Marcus Johnson (hamstring) all sidelined for Week 12, Fitzpatrick likely will have an opportunity to build on his three-catch, 35-yard outing. Fitzpatrick will likely work alongside Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Chester Rogers when Tennessee deploys three wideouts on the field.
First professional touchdown
Fitzpatrick recorded three receptions on six targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 22-13 loss to the Texans.
Analysis: Fitzpatrick benefitted from a beat-up Titans' receiver corps to find the field for 79 percent of offensive snaps -- more than both Chester Rogers and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine. He made a few big plays, most notable of which was an 18-yard reception late in the third quarter for his first career touchdown. Should Marcus Johnson (hamstring) remain sidelined, Fitzpatrick could be in line for a bigger role once again in Week 12 against New England.
The Titans signed Fitzpatrick to their active roster Saturday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Fitzpatrick began the season on Tennessee's practice squad, but he'll provide depth at wide receiver after Julio Jones (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve. The rookie hauled in 43 of 72 targets for 833 yards and three touchdowns in his senior season at Louisville.
Lands back in Tennessee
Fitzpatrick re-joined the Titans and is now a member of the team's practice squad, Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com reports.
Analysis: Fitzpatrick was something of a surprise cut given that the team used a fourth-round pick to select him in the 2021 NFL Draft. He didn't do a ton to impress the team in the preseason, though he did manage a 23-yard touchdown catch in the team's second exhibition. Fitzpatrick will now stick with the team as a member of the practice squad, and he could be promoted if the team faces injury among its wide receiver corps.

Let go by Tennessee
Fitzpatrick will be waived by the Titans, Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com reports.
Analysis: That's hardly what Tennessee had in mind when they took Fitzpatrick with the fourth pick of the fourth round of the 2021 NFL Draft, but the Louisville product evidently didn't impress the team this summer. If Fitzpatrick goes unclaimed by another team, he could land on the practice squad. The Titans' top three receivers are currently A.J. Brown, Julio Jones and Josh Reynolds.

Only one catch Saturday
Fitzpatrick caught one of two targets for 28 yards in Saturday's preseason loss to the Bears.
Analysis: With the Titans' top three receivers -- A.J. Brown (knee), Julio Jones (undisclosed) and Josh Reynolds -- all getting the night off, Fitzpatrick had one last golden opportunity to make a splash before Week 1. Instead, his only catch didn't come until the second half, while Cameron Batson led the team's WRs in receiving and hauled in his second TD of the preseason. Fitzpatrick still seems ticketed for a spot on the 53-man roster after being selected in the fourth round of the 2021 Dradt, but he…read more
Finds end zone
Fitzpatrick recorded two receptions for 30 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's preseason game against the Buccaneers.
Analysis: Fitzpatrick has been quiet throughout training camp and the team's first exhibition, though he made an impact in Saturday's contest. He caught a 23-yard touchdown from Logan Woodside late in the third quarter to make his primary contribution. Despite being a fourth-round pick in the 2021 draft, Fitzpatrick could be battling for a roster spot for the remainder of the buildup to the regular season.

Oddisee The Beauty In All
By Kevin Jones
Rapper/producer Oddisee's reflections on life and the people who've moved in and out of his own informed many of the memorable cuts from last year's People Hear What They See. With his latest instrumental opus, the Washington, DC, native is hoping to inspire listeners to do the same. The heavier-handed soul beats of his more recent releases give way to a far more nuanced brand of late night mood music on The Beauty In All, and it isn't before the skittery, double-time melodic breakdown of third cut "Fashionably Late" that the record's many detail-rich elements begin to move to the front of the producer's restrained compositions. Crisp, vibrant instrumental touches help bolster cuts like the bottom-heavy "Fievre" and "The Gospel," while the guitar, drums, piano and strings of "Patience at Play" combine for one of the record's more transcendent moments. However, while inventive turns like the rhythmic anchor of climatic closer "Fork in the Road" appear from time to time, offering musical segments to come back to, the quest for contemplative backdrops unfortunately results in a handful of moments and songs that don't quite grab or hold your attention. It's a commendable approach that achieves its mission, but it isn't always as entertaining a listen as some of Oddisee's last few releases. (Mello Music Group)

The problem with presenteeism
Employers often worry about absenteeism but presenteeism could be an even bigger problem
We're all familiar with the problem of absenteeism affecting productivity, but what about the risks posed by presenteeism – people turning up for work when unwell?
Recent research from the CIPD and Simplyhealth suggests wellbeing at work is at risk, with presenteeism tripling since 2010. Almost 86% of workers they interviewed said they had observed presenteeism in their workplaces during the last 12 months.
Presenteeism can cause significant problems for a business, including loss of productivity, increased likelihood of mistakes, worker exhaustion or even workplace epidemics. Those who work while sick take longer to recover and their lack of enthusiasm/continued illness can lower workplace morale.
It has also been shown that those who turn up to work while sick are at greater risk of psychological harm, leading to long term sickness absence. This is clearly not good news for businesses.
Employer's legal obligations
Employers have a duty of care to their employees, which means they should take all reasonable steps to ensure their physical and mental health, safety and wellbeing. In addition employers should remember that workers with long-term illnesses may be classed as disabled under the Equality Act 2010 and reasonable adjustments (such as allowing extended time off work for treatment and recovery) may need to be made.
However, what should an employer do if it is the employee who insists on returning to work? Where an employee has been signed off by a GP there is no mechanism for them to be formally 'signed back' to work if they wish to return before their fit note expires. The safest approach is for the employer to advise the employee that they should not return until their fit note has expired. Particularly in cases of anxiety, depression or other mental health issues, the employer would be exposing themselves to risk by allowing an employee to return before the expiry of their fit note.
Where the illness is of a physical nature that affects movement only e.g. a broken leg, the employer may wish to take a pragmatic approach and allow the employee to work from home. In such circumstances the employer should consider carrying out a risk or occupational health assessment to ascertain their fitness for work.
What steps can employers take to curb presenteeism?
The following steps are recommended to ensure your employees do not work unless they are fully fit to do so:
Train managers to spot the signs and set the right example – employees who see their boss working when ill may feel obliged to do the same. Management should be encouraging sick employees to go home and educating them on the importance of being fit at work.
Use capability rather than disciplinary policies to address sickness issues – do not use disciplinary action inappropriately against employees who exceed their sick day allowance. This could result in staff returning to work when they are still sick. Instead employers should have comprehensive capability or sickness policies in place that focus on supporting employees to return to work and making reasonable adjustments to enable them to do so.
Offer paid sick leave. The weekly rate for statutory sick pay is currently £92.05 for up to 28 weeks where an employee has been off sick for four or more days in a row. Where employers do not enhance sickness pay, employees may feel forced to return to work for financial reasons. Employers may wish to provide enhanced contractual sick pay so that employees do not feel forced to attend work. However, employers should also be mindful that overly generous sick pay provisions may encourage perfectly fit workers to take sick leave.
Put in place a health and wellbeing strategy – encourage employees to remain healthy by providing workplace schemes such as cycle to work, free fruit and gym membership discounts and educate them to be aware of and take steps to protect their own mental health.
Rather than being thankful for the employee's attendance in cases of presenteeism, employers should be aware of its detrimental impact and take proactive steps to ensure people take the time they need to recover fully from illness.

GOBLET SQUATS – THE AMAZING SQUATS YOU ARE NOT DOING
AkshayJanuary 26, 2020
A squat is a basic human movement pattern, it's a part of the everyday human movement. Squats are called the mother of all exercises, along with the deadlift for a reason. Squats are the best way to build over body strength and mass when compared to other lifts. One of the amazing squat movements is Goblet Squats.
When we were children, squatting was the basic movement we performed every day. In India, squatting was even more common, as the toilets were the typical Indian styled ones, where one defecates in a position, in which the humans have been defecating, since evolution. But as we grew older, and with the advent of western-styled toilet seats in our lives, we have become less active, we sit more in comfortable chairs, and as a result gradually lose our hip mobility, which makes it difficult, for some, to even do a basic bodyweight squat, without pain in the back.
When we think about squats, we often imagine a person with a bar on the back, squatting heavyweights. But, for a novice, doing a conventional bar squat, requires a lot of shoulder, ankle and hip mobility. Since most people lack this, they often lean forward while doing a barbell squat, which causes a lot of stress on the back. If you haven't been exercising, a bar squat may be a distant mission for you. But there is one squat you can start with, which is primarily used by beginners, and by pros alike, which helps to open up the tight hips and develop hip mobility. It is the Goblet Squats.
In the goblet squats, instead of holding the weight behind the back on the shoulder, you hold it in the front, close to your chin and chest. Since the weight is in the front, it is much easier to balance, and this helps keep the back straight and prevents you from falling behind. But this is not an alternative for the conventional squat. It is a way to improve the hip mobility which should transfer into lifting heavy and deep in a barbell squat.
The goblet squats are excellent for teaching you to spread your stance and "squat between your heels." The reason you squat upright with a goblet squat is because it's basically a front squat. You won't be able to duplicate that upright position with a back squat. It's a great way to teach the beginners who to squat, where weight isn't the focus. In fact, it is an excellent movement to teach the upper body position and awareness to the beginners during a squat, as this movement forces the upper body to remain straight and upright.
A lot of people think that this is a squat only for the elderly and beginners. This is farther from the truth. When done correctly and used effectively in the lower body workout program, this is one of the most powerful squats, you could incorporate in your workout. in fact, I often use this movement as the starting movement in the leg workout, to open up the hips and be ready for a heavier barbell squat later. It can be extremely powerful when combined in the form of supersets with other leg exercises.
The goblet squats were created by strength coach Dan John for his pupils, in order to teach them how to squat deep and proper. In his own words: "Years ago, faced with 400 athletes who couldn't squat correctly, I attempted to move after move, lift after lift, to teach the squat. I failed each and every time.
I saw glimmers of hope from teaching one kid the Zercher squat (weight held in the crooks of the elbows) and a few picked up the pattern when we lifted kettlebells from the ball off the ground. But nothing was really working.
Somewhere between a Zercher and a potato squat was the answer. It came to me when I was resting between swings with the weight held in front of me like I was holding the Holy Grail. I squatted down from there, pushed my knees out with my elbows and, behold, the goblet squats!"
To start the goblet squats, the foot stance is generally shoulder width and can be wider depending on your physiology. I would personally suggest a slightly wider stance initially, as this will ensure a more stable position, and help keep the body upright.
To hold the kettlebell/dumbbell, in Dan's words: "Grab a dumbbell or kettlebell and hold it against your chest. With a kettlebell, hold the horns, but with a dumbbell just hold it vertical by the one end, like you're holding a goblet against your chest. Hence the name, "goblet squats. Now with the weight cradled against your chest, squat down with the goal of having your elbows – which are pointed downward – slide past the inside of your knees. It's okay to have the elbows push the knees out as you descend."
Though there are certain drawbacks of this movement. Firstly, it may cause back pain in great many, because the weight in the goblet squats is held away from the centre of mass, which pulls the body forward and if the back is weak, the pain is generally inevitable. However, due to the shift of the COG (Centre of Gravity), the emphasis also shifts more on the quads and the abdominal muscles.
If you ask me personally I would never use goblet squats as the main exercise during a leg workout. It should also not be performed using forced reps. But it can be used amazingly well in the following conditions:
For warm-ups
For high rep workouts
In combination with other exercises, in a superset, tri-sets, giant sets, rest-pause sets, drop sets, slow negatives, etc.
To teach beginners to squat
According to the 2012 study in the Strength and Conditioning Journal, researcher Stephen Bird says that "goblet squats and clean deadlift are considered foundation exercises in the progression because both movements develop correct body positioning. Once athletes have mastered the squat movement pattern of the goblet squat and developed the correct body positioning in the clean deadlift, they are ready to move onto the next progression in the model, that being the plate squat."
Goblet squats are one of the most controversial squats, to date. Where a number of top strength coaches like Dan John, swear by its effectiveness, a lot many like the late Charles Poliquin, called it a moronic exercise.
However, top coaches like Charles Poliquin hates this squat, he said, "There are some that I'd remove for all cases. One, the goblet squat. That is such a moronic exercise. Basically, you're limited by the strength of your rhomboids, your anterior deltoids, and the elbow flexors. So if you can do a goblet squat and overload your legs, it means you have really, really weak legs – you should be in a wheelchair. That's a moronic exercise."
But, if you take the middle path, then Goblets Squats are a great addition to your workouts.

We provide students an opportunity to be active beekeepers as undergrads and to learn about the role and importance of bees in our local ecosystem.
To our knowledge, currently there are no other directly honeybee-related, insect-related, or experiential apiculture education-related Harvard student organizations. We started with an idea in the Harvard Community Garden, but have since become an independent club. We have partnered in the past with the Food Literacy Project to bring bees into the important farm to table picture, and the Health Advocacy Project with a small honey tasting event.
Since 2006, honeybee colonies in the US have seen collapse rates of up to 90%. As key pollinators, honeybees are directly responsible for cultivation of over 30% of the most important food crops. HUB seeks to stimulate active discussion on campus about not only the plight of the honeybee, but also to educate about the incredible world of apiculture. We would seek to bring together groups with important stakes in the fate of beekeeping. From all parts of the Harvard community, from the RoboBees Laboratory designing robots that mimic hive behavior at the School of Engineering & Applied Sciences, to the Environmental Exposure biologists working to link between declining bee health and pesticides at the School of Public Health.
Please email below to request to be on the HUB mailing list, a low volume announcement email chain for interested community members to stay in touch with relevant bee'vents on campus.

Opioid Use Disorder among Medicaid Enrollees: Snapshot of the Epidemic and State Responses
As the largest payer of substance use disorder services in the United States, Medicaid plays a central role in state efforts to address the opioid epidemic. In addition to increasing access to addiction treatment services through the expansion of Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), states are expanding Medicaid addiction treatment services, increasing provider reimbursements, restricting opioid prescribing, and implementing delivery system reforms to improve the quality of treatment services. While many states have been tracking progress and challenges in these efforts, uniqueness of state systems can make it difficult to compare or benchmark across states. This brief draws on analyses provided by the Medicaid Outcomes Distributed Research Network (MODRN), a collaborative effort to analyze data across multiple states to facilitate learning among Medicaid agencies. It profiles the opioid epidemic among the Medicaid population in six states participating in MODRN that also have been hard hit by the opioid epidemic: Kentucky, Maryland, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia. The brief also draws on interviews with officials from the state Medicaid and other health agencies.
