Thousands of elementary students denounce the use of illegal drugs during their graduation ceremony from the Drug Abuse Resistance Education Program (DARE) in San Juan City Thursday.
In a ceremony held at the Filoil Flying V Arena in San Juan City, 1,562 graduates composed of Grade 5 and 6 students from seven elementary schools in the city received certificates of completion after undergoing the 24-week program.
Senior Supt. Dindo Reyes, city police chief, told the graduates to follow the "right path" to avoid the negative influence of illegal drugs.
"Isipin ninyo ang bawat hirap ng inyong mga magulang upang kayo ay masuportahan sa inyong pag-aaral at mabigyan ng magandang kinabukasan (Think of the hardships of your parents in order to support your education and to give you a better future)," Reyes said.
"Naway maging inspirasyon kayo sa mga susunod na mga kabataan, at hinihikayat namin kayo na suportahan ang kampayana laban sa illegal na droga (May you serve as an inspiration to other children, and I encourage you to support the campaign against illegal drugs)," Reyes said.
Launched in 2016, the DARE program educates the students on the negative effects of drugs and alcohol abuse.
In behalf of Eastern Police District Director Chief Supt. Bernabe Balba who was not able to attend the ceremony due to a prior engagement, Senior Supt. Florendo Quibuyen extended the congratulations of the district director to the young graduates.
Also present during the ceremony was actor Edu Manzano who is running for the lone congressional seat of San Juan City.
Before the ceremony begun, the loud cheers of students echoed in the sports arena when police officers from the San Juan City Police gave out red roses to the teachers who accompanied their students during the event.
City Vice Mayor Janella Ejercito Estrada reminded the graduates to bear in their minds the lessons they learned from the program.
"It's okay to say 'no' to drugs. 'Wag po tayong magpapadala sa peer pressure (Let us not be influenced by peer pressure)," Estrada said.

Retiring early is a dream for many people, but few are sure that they'll be able to reach. Many people prefer to retire early — between the ages of 61 and 65.
Debt weakens one of your most powerful wealth-building tools: your income. Debit payments reduce your cash flow, slashing into the amount of money you have available to save and invest for retirement.
Remember that housing and transportation are some of the largest costs. While standard advice is to keep housing costs at no more than 30% of your income, if you want to retire early, you should aim as low as 15% to 20%.
Research has shown that retirees who get guaranteed income in retirement tend to be happier than those whose retirement income is vulnerable to stock market fluctuations. Two ways to create guaranteed income are pensions and annuities.
For many early retirees, retirement isn't really about never working again. It is about having time and freedom to pursue hobbies, start a business, or travel. The right retirement job can provide an income stream and possibly other benefits while giving you the flexibility to pursue your passions.
For a long time, the "norm" was working for 40+ years, then taking the time to enjoy yourself. But with more people working well into retirement age, why not find a way to inject bursts of freedom and fun into your career path?
To retire early- with enough money to stay retired- is a tall order, but it is doable. Stay out of debt. Live simply. Save money. You may even need to change your definition of retirement. Early retirement will require tough choices and a strong plan.

Franz Linke (25. října 1880, Krnov - 29. prosince 1944, Mikulov) byl katolický kněz. Působil jako katecheta v Libině a v Olomouci, byl zastupitelem Moravskoslezského zemského parlamentu v Brně a proboštem  Význačné kolegiátní kapituly sv. Václava v Mikulově.

Život
Franz Linke se narodil 25. října 1880 v Krnově v chudé rodině punčocháře. Zkoušku dospělosti složil v Kroměříži 27. června 1900. Na kněze byl po složení příslušných zkoušek a absolvování kněžské formace vysvěcen 5. července 1904 v Olomouci.

Nastoupil do farnosti Libina na Šumpersku a zde ve funkci farního vikáře a později katechety na měšťanské škole prožil sedm let svého kněžského života.

S počátkem školního roku 1911/12 přesídli do Olomouce, aby zde 23 let působil jako katecheta na chlapecké měšťanské škole. Nespokojil se však jen s výkonem své funkce, ale z vlastní iniciativy se ve prospěch budování Božího království angažoval v německém křesťansko-sociálním spolku v Olomouci. V té době také dokončil postgraduální studium a zdálo se, že jeho další nasazení se bude ubírat cestou církevního historika – pedagoga na bohoslovecké fakultě. To se ale nestalo. Pán Bůh měl s nyní už doktorem teologie Franzem Linkem jiné plány.

Se vznikem Republiky československé se změnilo postavení místního německého etnika včetně německých katolíků. Bylo potřeba se k tomu postavit čelem. Jedním z těch, kteří takto situaci pochopili, byl i P. Franz Linke. Začal v olomoucké arcidiecézi organizovat kněze německé národnosti jako předseda Jednoty německého katolického duchovenstva, ustavené v roce 1919. Angažoval se v nově vzniklém Lidovém spolku německých katolíků a také v Německém křesťanském tělocvičném spolku.

Pracoval rovněž v politické oblasti jako člen německé křesťansko-sociální lidové strany a to nejen na úrovni města Olomouce, ale byl také zvolen v roce 1929 zastupitelem v Moravskoslezském zemském parlamentu. Stal se v něm členem zemského výboru (zemské vlády), v němž pracoval až do začátku roku 1937.

Když byl v roce 1934 už jako obecně uznávaná osobnost jmenován proboštem Význačné kapituly sv. Václava v Mikulově, ukončil svou činnost v olomoucké arcidiecézi, později také svou politickou činnost a věnoval se především pastorační práci. Kromě jiného se už v roce 1934 zapojil jako aktivní účastník do brněnské diecézní synody, v roce 1935 se podílel na Celostátním katolickém sjezdu v Praze. Nejvýznamnější z jeho pastoračních aktivit pak byl eucharistický kongres, který zorganizoval v září 1936 v Mikulově při příležitosti 300. výročí smrti olomouckého biskupa Františka kardinála Dietrichsteina. Ten se setkal s mimořádnou odezvou jak mezi německými, tak i českými účastníky.

Po podpisu mnichovské dohody byl ustanoven generálním vikářem pro sudetskou část brněnské diecéze. tj. pro 104 farností a cca 180 000 katolíků. Doba nebyla ani pro církev ani pro Franze Linkeho jednoduchá. Jeho pastorační prioritou byla trvalá formace kněží a to jak po stránce spirituální, tak i pastorační. Organizoval pravidelné měsíční duchovní obnovy, nabízel a doporučoval vzdělávací kurzy pro hledání nových pastoračních cest.

Byl trvale sledován německou tajnou policií, to se odrazilo i na jeho zdraví. Naprosto bez jakéhokoliv náznaku změny zdravotního stavu náhle zemřel dne 29. prosince 1944 na krvácení do mozku. Je pochován na hřbitově v Mikulově.

Natalie Portman says it's 'tenuous' being valued by beauty
By Bang Showbiz in Lifestyle / Showbiz on 30 July 2019
Follow Natalie Portman
Natalie Portman Reese Witherspoon Kerry Washington
Natalie Portman says it's ''tenuous'' that women constantly feel they are being valued by their looks.
Natalie Portman feels like she is ''constantly fighting against'' being judged based on her looks.
The 'Black Swan' actress - who began her career at the age of 13 - has opened up about the pressures women face to look a certain way and how ''tenuous'' it is that often a person's value is determined by their beauty.
Speaking in the September issue of Harper's Bazaar UK magazine, Natalie said: ''As a woman, you are constantly fighting against only being valued for your looks, because it becomes a very tenuous thing, to be defined by the gaze of others, the opinion of others.
''And beauty is, by definition, ephemeral, it's a thing that that you can't trap in time, it's a butterfly, it lives for a second.
''So to make a lifetime worthwhile and have meaning cannot rest on beauty...''
The 38-year-old star - who has Aleph, eight, and two-year-old Amalia with husband Benjamin Millepied - also admitted she feels women have been made to feel like they can't be ''angry''.
She explained: ''We've been socialised to believe that we're not feeling angry - we're feeling sad, we're feeling upset.
''And when I realised that, there was a sudden shift in my mind, and I thought, oh my God, all those times when I would burst into tears, I was actually angry!
''I just didn't know how to express it!''
Natalie will next star as astronaut Lucy Cola in 'Lucy in the Sky' - which has been produced by Reese Witherspoon - and she admitted she has been ''so inspired'' by the many women she has met following the launch of the Time's Up movement, which was launched in the wake of the Hollywood sex scandal in 2017, including 'Big Little Lies' star and producer Reese.
She said: ''I've been so inspired by the many women I've met through Time's Up - like Reese Witherspoon, America Ferrera and Kerry Washington - who are doing such impressive creative work, producing, acting, directing and taking such good care of their families. ''They are inspiring activists and also great friends. Whenever I think I have too much to handle, I see what they're doing and know I can do more.''
The September issue of Harper's Bazaar UK is on sale from Friday 2 August 2019.

Empowering Student Athletes: FLINCA
The Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA) is the governing body for high school athletics in the state of Florida. It sets the standard for high school sports across the state and is made up of different state classes which consists of regions and districts. For example, in football there are eight state classes with hundreds of football teams within the regions and districts.
The Sunshine State Athletic Conference (SSAC) was originally formed in 2008 as an alternative to the FHSAA for independent football programs searching for a level playing field and competitive contests while also complying by the rules of the FHSAA. The SSAC is composed of over 30 schools competing in football alone and they have divided the conference into two leagues and six divisions, for the 2016 season.
In 2011, a group of like-minded coaches and athle tic directors from Southeast Florida set out to investigate the formation of an additional independent high school football conference similar to the SSAC. Thus the Southeastern Football Conference (SFC) was created, and today is made up of 16 teams.
Three years later in 2014, with similar goals in mind, the independent Gold Coast Football Conference (GCFC) was created. Currently the GCFC is made up of six teams that also decided to withdraw from the FHSAA: Key West High School, Archbishop McCarthy, Coral Glades, Inlet Grove, North Broward Prep and Pembroke Pines Charter.
In the state of Florida, there are currently five independent conferences, the largest being the SSAC. The purpose of these independent conferences is to allow teams to be more competitive by playing against squads with similar talent.The SSAC, SFC and the GCFC have their own separate league in which they battle it out on the field for a conference title. Each conference has its own postseason and a conference champion is determined after the playoffs are completed.There are approximately 78 high schools among the five conferences that compete in independent football.
Statewide, these independent conferences have become what appears to be a solid solution for fair competition. However, all five independent conferences in Florida lack three things: coaches' clinics for its athletes, all star games, and a coveted state championship bowl game. Yes, there are conference championship games, but currently there is not a system that will crown the best independent football team champion in the state. Until now…
"It was based off the idea of an independent football team where they really didn't have anything to play for. There are about 78 independent football schools in the state of Florida and to me it just made sense to come up with a format that would create postseason all star games as well as a bowl series," said Mike Higgins the Executive Director of FLINCA™.
The Florida Independent Coaches Association™ (FLINCA™, flinca.org) was launched, in January 2016, for the exclusive membership of high school football coaches that participate in the independent football conferences throughout the state. The Association was built on the concept of filling the specific needs of the ever growing number of schools that are joining the independent football conferences statewide.
"As we continued to talk about it, I figured there were enough schools to have a bowl game of some sort. But right now, it's just a discussion. I really want to find out how other schools feel about it," said Higgins.
FLINCA™ will provide high quality football coaches' clinics, job opportunities for a growing independent conference industry, All Star Football Games statewide, format for postseason play and a yearly Florida Bowl Championship™ (FBC™).
Additionally, FLINCA™ entered into a comprehensive media partnership with High School Programming Network™ (HSPNSports.com) for the live streaming and digital presentation of the postseason FBC™ and All-Star Games.
"That part hasn't been fully worked out but I think what HSPN brings to the table (beyond the media partnership) is possibly the experience of a governing board for the association," said Higgins.
The first All-Star games are expected to be held this upcoming 2016 season, while the first FBC™ will be held in 2017. Currently, Higgins is discussing the idea and finding out who wants to get involved.
"We would like to do something this season. Maybe start with all star games. What we would really like is input from other coaches and other athletic directors. I am just one voice and I would be interested to find out what the interest level of something like this would be. I want to start a discussion about this topic since we now have the platform to plug them in," said Higgins.
It is important to note that FLINCA™ is not against the FHSAA and will follow the rules of the FHSAA. According to Higgins, FLINCA™ does not, by any means, want the independent schools to leave the FHSAA. On the contrary, Higgins explains, "FLINCA™ has been established to complement the FHSAA by providing postseason All Star and Bowl Championship play for independent schools that choose to participate."
"This in no way has anything to do with replacing the FHSAA. We would still, as schools, be members of the FHSAA and abide by their bylaws and rules. It would be an opportunity for conference champions to possibly play each other in bowl games and play beyond the regular season," said Higgins.
It appears that the Florida Independent Coaches Association™ is here to stay and will impact the future of independent football across the state of Florida. For now, Higgins wants to explore the possibilities, and as it says in their mission statement, "Create a premier Educational Community of Independent Schools focusing on Empowering Student Athletes to become College and Career ready while giving back their Communities."

The following is a brief overview of the mortgage process and what information and documents are normally required.
When making a recommendation, we will issue you with a Key Features Illustration (KFI). This provides all the facts, figures and features associated with the recommended product. You should read this carefully and we welcome any questions that you may have as it is important that you have a full understanding of the recommended product.
Once you have accepted our recommendation, we will submit an application (normally online) to the lender for an 'agreement in principle'. In order to do this we will need information regarding your personal details, employment, income, and credit information. As part of this process, the lender will normally conduct a credit check or score.
On the basis that you are accepted, a full application is then submitted to the lender. Additional information would be required at this stage, including solicitor details, property details, Estate Agent's details (if applicable), bank details (for direct debit). Certain fees may be payable at this stage, for example a valuation fee.
Certain documents may be requested by us or the lender, although different lenders will request different documents. Documents may include : proof of income, bank statements, proof of identification, proof of address, proof of deposit.
The lender will instruct a surveyor to conduct a survey/valuation of the property. Some lenders will do this as soon as the application is submitted although some will wait until they have received and are satisfied with the documents highlighted in section 4 above. The surveyor will normally contact the Estate Agent or property owner directly to make an appointment.
The survey/valuation report is returned to the lender and, assuming it is satisfactory, the lender will normally then proceed to issue a formal mortgage offer. Should the report not be satisfactory, then depending on the issues raised in the report, the lender may request further specialist reports (for example a damp report) or in some case they may refuse to lend at all.
When a formal mortgage offer is issued, you, ourselves and your solicitor will all receive a copy. The offer formally states that they are prepared to lend subject to certain conditions that are usually confirmed by your solicitor.
From this stage onwards it is normally down to your solicitor to conclude the transaction. The legal work conducted by your solicitor will vary depending on whether it is a property purchase or a remortgage. However, we will always be available throughout the whole process and will assist in any way we can to conclude the transaction.
do not regulate Commercial Mortgages, Bridging Loans & some forms of Buy-to-Let mortgages. There may be a fee for mortgage advice - please see the 'Fees Explained' section of this website for more details. Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.


Yet, unless you make a daily concerted effort to drink enough water, chances are you're dehydrated. On average we need at least ½ our body weight in fluid ounces every day- even more if you're sweating through tough workouts. That means if you weigh 160lbs. you need at least 80 oz of water per day. That's 10 cups. So, the whole "8 cups of water a day" guideline only works if you're 130lbs or less. And even then, that's a baseline!
Most people grossly overestimate how much water they drink per day. Or they set out with the intention to drink more water, but have trouble remembering or keeping track.
1. Make it a part of your morning routine.
Drink a large glass or bottle of water first thing in the morning, as soon as you wake up. I like to fill a bottle up at night before I go to sleep, so it's ready in the morning and I don't have to think about it. This gets your hydration started immediately and also aids in digestion and regularity.
2. Flavor your water with fruit.
If you get bored with plain old water all day long, skip the sugary juices or sodas and opt for a low calorie, fruit infused water or sparkling water, instead.
Simply chop fruit and add to your water or sparkling water for a refreshing drink that won't significantly impact your daily caloric intake.
3. Invest in a quality water bottle.
Buy a large reusable and preferably stainless-steel water bottle that you won't have to refill too often and will keep your water cold throughout the day. Take it with you everywhere you go and sip on it often. Never keep plastic water bottles in your car or hot garage- when they heat up the BPA and other toxic substances can seep into your water.
4.. Ask yourself- am I hungry or thirsty?
Because our brains have a hard time distinguishing between thirst and hunger, it's very common to reach for a snack when it's really more water that our body needs. So, before you eat that midday snack, try a glass of water first, and see if that satisfies.
5. Schedule water breaks throughout the day.
Water breaks aren't just for workouts. Take the time while on your way to work, sitting at your desk, chatting with friends, or cooking dinner to drink some water. You can even set alarms throughout the day to remind you to take a sip every half hour or so.
6. Use an App to help remind you to drink and track your water intake.
Apps like "My Water Balance" and "Daily Water Tracker Reminder" in the App store, or an Apple Watch or Fit Bit are great tools for keeping you accountable and tracking hydration. Just remember to take in to account your activity level and know that the suggestions for water intake are often a minimum or baseline. So, for optimal hydration when using an app increase your water goal if you're working out regularly.
7. Cut yourself off two hours before bedtime.
Another reason to increase your hydration early in the day is so that you're not disrupting your sleep with bathroom breaks all night. Instead of being parched all day, then trying to make up for it by chugging a bunch of water in the evening, front-load your water intake so that you're adequately hydrated throughout the day. Then stop all liquids at least two hours before you fall asleep.

Winter Season in Kerala: Major Attraction & Tourist Guide
The Winter season in Kerala attracts tourists from all over India to visit. COVID 19 has made serious and long travelling restrictions all across the world. However, in recent weeks, the restrictions on Tourist Places including hotels and restaurants are being gradually lifted and it is believed that tourists are about to explore their favourite tourists' spots, particularly the local ones in the upcoming days.
In India, people usually visit the Taj Mahal and such areas, while many a time the beauty and grandeur of South India are overlooked. But, being in India, planning a trip to a state like Kerala can be very rewarding and refreshing as well. The peak time to visit Kerala is winter when the green tea gardens, valleys and meadows take a festive look and indeed look very beautiful.
Kerala as a tourist destination
According to National Geographic Traveler magazine, Kerala is one of the "ten paradises of the world". On the West, the Arabian Sea connects Kerala with other parts of the world. Kerala is a favourite spot for its backwaters and sandy golden beaches. On the other hand, those who love mountains also visit Kerala to explore extraordinary hill stations. On the east, the hills of the high altitude of the Western Ghats exposes you to beauty and thrill at the same time.
Kerala is located near the equator. As a result, the climate is tropical in nature. The average maximum high can be between 29°C and 33°C and lows between 23°C and 25°C.
Kerala is close to the ocean and the position of the fort-like Western Ghats Mountain keeps the climate enjoyable throughout the year. Arabian Sea breeze will refresh you. You can do many outdoor activities in winter that are unimaginable in summer.
What are the seasons of Kerala?
In Kerala, there are three seasons in total. They are summer, monsoon and winter. Summer is quite hot. But, in winter you cannot expect any freezing cold weather here either. However, here the temperature in winter is neither too hot nor too cold, which will make your stay at this place quite refreshing. In monsoon, heavy rainfall makes the roads slippery and risky. During planning your trip to Kerala, you must give due importance to the local weather condition.
Summer: In Kerala, summer is from March to May. In many places in the world, the month of March is not very and humid. They call it spring. However, in Kerala, the summer days start from March.
Tourists find Kerala hot and humid during summer. Even at the night, the temperature remains high. The average temperature is around 35 degrees Celsius. However, the hilly areas that are covered with trees are relatively cool.
Monsoon: Kerala is in the tropical region. It is surprising that in Kerala Monsoon visits twice a year. First, from July to September. Then it is called the Southwest monsoon. Again monsoon comes in October and November. It is known as the Northeast monsoon.
Winter: In Kerala, winter is from November to February. In winter, the air is crispy and dry. The average maximum temperature is 28°C, and the minimum is around 18°C. You can also visit hill stations to enjoy the panoramic misty views of nature. For obvious reasons, strolling around the beaches in winter is more comfortable in winter than in summer.
Why choose Winter to travel to Kerala?
Winter in Kerala is short-lived. Whatever be its length, in this season the weather remains such that you can explore a variety of outdoor activities and some extraordinary places. There are some reasons why we are encouraging you to go during the winter season in Kerala. The top reasons are given below.
Less rainfall in Winter: In winter, the places around you are dry. In fact, from December the weather begins to turn dry. Compared to the heavy monsoon time, it is convenient to travel in winter. In January there is only 21mm of rainfall. On the other hand, in February, it only increases to 26mm. Moreover, there is no trouble on the road because of heavy rainfall.
Avoid exhaustion and strokes: In summer it is common that people have heat strokes and exhaustion while travelling. In winter, there is less temperature and humidity. So, you have every chance to keep fit.
Participate and Enjoy the Major Events: Winter season in Kerala is for Christmas and New Year. At this time of the year, there are illuminations all around. Colonial churches as well as the markets of Kerala get an enchanting look. The Christian community of Kerala celebrates Christmas with fun and merriment.
Spend time in Houseboats: In Kerala, you can spend time in a houseboat with all modern amenities. The backwaters of Kumarakom and Alleppey would be good choices.
Get Ayurvedic treatment: Kerala is renowned for Ayurvedic treatment. Yoga is also widely practised here. When you come, you can try both these activities and rejuvenate your spirit. When you go back to your regular routine you will certainly feel the difference.
Explore the tea estates: It is possible to go sightseeing in and around the tea estates of Munnar in winter.
Visit the Villages of Kerala: You can explore the villages of Kerala as well. If you are someone who hasn't ever seen paddy fields very closely or paddy being harvested, a village in Kerala is going to offer you opportunities to enjoy them both. You will find men and women working together in the fields. Other activities include coir manufacturing, coconut leaf weaving, and fish markets. Moreover, you can also go to a village market.
Wildlife safari: Kerala has a whopping number of wildlife sanctuaries and national parks. Can you guess? The number of wildlife sanctuaries in Kerala is 16! On the other hand, there are 5 national parks. All the places are safe homes for wildlife. Wild boars, sambar deer, elephants are very commonly seen in all these places. On the other hand, you will be amazed to see the exotic birds. Don't miss any opportunity for a wildlife safari. The top one is Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary. It is situated in Idukki. Another one is Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary. Finally, Gavi Wildlife Sanctuary is also an enthralling place. It is located in Pathanamthitta.

The tohu vavohu of gun violence
In the beginning, there were swirling masses of chaos that were, tohu vavohu, unformed and void. In the days of creation that followed, God created light and darkness, water and sky, land and vegetation, celestial bodies, animals, humanity, and Shabbat. In short, in the beginning there was chaos, and the story of creation brings about order.
Wouldn't it be great if that was the end, if that was the only thing we needed to learn from this story?
In fact, we are just at a beginning.
B'reishit bara Elohim, begins the Torah, "In the beginning God created" … or so we think. The "bet" at the beginning tells us "in," and "reishit" tells us "beginning," but what is unclear is what comes between "in" and "beginning." But the grammar tells us that we cannot think of b'reishit bara Elohim as "in the beginning." Instead, the vowels want us to read this as "in a beginning," implying that there are lots of beginnings. And before you think that this is just my idea, this is actually an interpretation that has great Kabbalistic and rabbinic backing.
B'reishit bara Elohim, "In a beginning of God's acts of creation…"
Moses Maimonides reads the story of creation as a parable, understanding that we, as creatures created in the "image of God," are commanded to develop an ability to understand the world and how we, as Godly messengers, function in the world. Our job is to take the chaos of the world, the injustices of the world, the tohu vavohu of the world, and bring about order through justice.
B'reishit bara Elohim, "In a beginning of doing divine work…"
As we begin to read the Torah again, and as we begin this new year, we are compelled to acknowledge that there is a narrative out there that says that our country was unformed and void, and the second amendment gave us order. There is a narrative out there that says that if the government does something about guns in this country, we will move from order to chaos.
That narrative is harmful, dangerous, and factually wrong.
According to the FBI's recently released "Crime in the US, 2014" report, a report that includes all incidents of gun violence known to law enforcement (except for Florida and Alabama), nearly 1800 people were killed by a gun due to an argument not during the commission of a felony. Not as a result of gang violence nor drug trafficking – just arguments that escalated. In fact, the number of gun homicides due to those two categories I mentioned, gang violence and drug trafficking, was HALF of the gun deaths due to an argument not during the commission of a felony.
And in the aftermath of the most recent high-profile shooting in Oregon, the NRA tweeted, "It'll take a lot more than one disturbed individual to intimidate or silence Americans who believe in the #2A!" (twitter.com/NRA) One astute respondent asked, "How many more?"
There is a narrative out there that says that this is not a gun issue, but a mental health issue. Yes, mental health is an issue in this country. According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, 1 in 4 Americans are impacted by mental illness. (http://nami.org) As an aside, I encourage you to do your part to help by taking this three-word pledge: "I will listen."
But the narrative that tries to connect mental health and gun homicides is just factually inaccurate. According to an article in the Annals of Epidemiology, the large majority of mentally ill people are non-violent. And the vast majority of gun violence is committed by non-mentally ill people. The American Journal of Public Health reports that "fewer than 5% of the 120,000 gun-related killings [studied] were perpetrated by people diagnosed with mental illness."
Mark Follman, reporting for Mother Jones, cites a member of an FBI program that is seeking to stop the proverbial next mass shooter. He argues that mass shootings are predictable and preventable, and not usually the result of psychosis. Quoting the agent, "When the next shooting happens, the question will again be asked, 'What made him snap?' But mass murder is not an impulsive crime. Virtually every one of these attacks, forensic investigations show, is a predatory crime, methodically planned and executed." These people are sick, but they're not sick.
There is also a narrative that we need more good guys with guns. Except that, according to a Politico analysis of school shootings, "no armed civilian has ever actually stopped a school shooting."
All of these narratives are not just factually inaccurate, they go against our Jewish values and the Jewish tradition. Throughout time, Judaism has focused on the sanctity of human life. The Ten Commandments tell us, "You are not to murder." (Ex. 20:13, Fox) The Prophet Isaiah tells us to "beat [our] swords into plowshares, and [our] spears into pruning hooks." (Isaiah 2:4, JPS) The Rabbis tell us in Mishnah Sanhedrin that "the one who takes one life it is as though that person has destroyed the universe." (Mishnah Sanhedrin 4:5)
The Reform Movement has been at the forefront of leading the charge for combatting the curse of gun violence, passing resolutions as early as 1975 calling for legislation "that would limit and control the sale and use of firearms." (URJ 1975) The Central Conference of American Rabbis just this August reaffirmed their commitment to gun control by urging "the members of the congregations and communities [they] serve to demand that their Representatives and Senators enact effective gun violence prevention legislation." They also encouraged government bodies — such as the military and police forces, which account for 40% of the guns sold each year — to use their purchasing power to demand certain safety features from gun manufacturers.
It is our time to flip the script and change the narrative. As we begin to reread the Torah, it is time for us to realize that we are at a beginning. We are at a beginning where gun violence in this country is tohu vavohu — chaotic and harmful. We are at a beginning where we can stand up and say: We will do whatever we can to bring order to this chaos.
"Does [it] make any sense that we should put rifles and guns in the hands of people who have long criminal records, or people who are insane, or people who are mentally incompetent, or people who are so young that they don't know how to handle rifles and guns?" Do you know who said that? Bobby Kennedy in May, 1968, just a month before he was shot. How right he was.
The time has come for common sense gun regulations. This includes, but is by no means limited to preventing those convicted of domestic abuse from buying guns, closing the "gun show" loopholes, and repeal the law that helps gun manufacturers avoid legal consequences from the criminal use of their products.
And don't even get me started about Australia, where after introducing common sense gun regulations in response to a mass shooting in 1996 and in concert with social and economic trends, there have been ZERO mass shootings. None. (McPhedran, Samara and Baker, Jeanine, Mass Shootings in Australia and New Zealand: A Descriptive Study of Incidence (2008). (Justice Policy Journal, Vol. 8, No. 1, Spring 2011. Available at SSRN)
Why am I speaking about this? It's not specifically because of Oregon, Charleston, Lafayette, or Virginia or any of the other mass shootings that have happened this year. It's not specifically because of Sandy Hook or Columbine. It's not specifically because in the first 274 days of 2015, there have been 294 mass shootings. Not 294 dead from mass shootings, 294 incidents where there were 4 or more victims.
I'm speaking about this specifically because I could not even finish editing this sermon before another mass shooting senselessly took innocent lives. I'm speaking about this specifically because these shootings are not, as Northern Arizona University President Rita Cheng called it today, "isolated" nor "unprecedented."
And I'm speaking about this specifically because there's an emergency phone on the bimah. And I hope that at some point in my rabbinate, I will be able to leave it upstairs.
For now, though, it is time, at this beginning of doing God's work, for us to pick up our phones and contact our legislators. Yesterday, Senators Schumer and Stabenow introduced plans for gun control reforms that would close background check loopholes, expand the background check database, and tighten regulations on illegal gun purchases. In the scheme of things, it's not a lot; but it will make a difference.
We are living in a chaotic world. And complacently is not an option when it comes to gun violence in this country.
B'reishit bara Elohim – in this beginning of doing God's work, "Let the old year and its curses come to an end. Let the new year and its blessings begin." (Kitov, "The Book of our Heritage," Vol. 3, p. 332)
Mi shebeirach avoteinu v'imoteinu, God of our ancestors, let us recognize that we are at a beginning of doing Your work. May we see the light in the darkness. May we bring about order in the chaos of gun violence. May we inspire humanity to, in the words of Rabbi Menachem Creditor, "rebuild Your World by saving each other." (rabbicreditor.blogspot.com)

UMN offers 'nonbinary gender pronouns' writing guide
Mitchell Gunter | South Carolina Senior Campus Correspondent
Students at the University of Minnesota (UMN) have a resource guide to help them utilize nonbinary gender pronouns in their writing.
The Campus Climate UMN Twitter account recently promoted the guide in a tweet depicting the pronouns, calling the guide a "terrific resource for understanding nonbinary pronouns."
The resource guide takes the form of a gender pronouns chart on the UMN Center for Writing's website.
"Many people understand the existence of gender pronouns beyond the binary (she/her/hers or he/him/his). However, they may not be familiar with how to use those pronouns in sentences," the problem statement reads.
"As a result, even when they know the pronouns of reference for a person, they can struggle to incorporate those pronouns in their writing," the problem statement concludes, listing a possible solution as, "learn the typical forms that nonbinary gender pronouns can take."
[RELATED: App State requests gender-inclusivity disclaimer on papers]
"The following chart provides examples of some nonbinary gender pronouns in a variety of forms," the website continues, listing pronouns such as, "they/them/theirs," "ey/em/eirs," "ze/zir/zirs," and "co/co/co's." The website reports that the chart was adapted from the LGBT Campus Center's "Gender Pronouns Guide" at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, though the citation link is currently broken.
Additionally, the guide advises readers to "practice using nonbinary gender pronouns so that they become more automatic."
Students are also referred to the "Gender Neutral Pronoun Blog" to familiarize themselves "with how nonbinary pronouns appear in context."
Finally, the guide suggests that writers "consider adding an explanatory footnote" if the writer's audience is not familiar with nonbinary pronouns. An example footnote reads, "in this paper, I use the nonbinary gender pronouns [name them] because the people I am citing and/or to whom I am referring use these pronouns to refer to themselves. It is important to me that I respect their identities in my writing by using the appropriate gender pronouns."
According to an article on UMN's Campus Climate Page, "this terrific resource to better understand gender pronouns, especially in the context of writing, was created collaboratively by Katie Levin, Co-Director, Center for Writing; and Melinda Lee, Assistant Director, Gender and Sexuality Center for Queer and Trans Life."

Some people forgo visiting the dentist because they erroneously believe that there is no reason to visit the dentist unless you have a problem. This is not true. Regular dental visits do a lot more than just whiten your smile.
During your visit, our Northridge dentist, checks your mouth for several problems in addition to cavities and periodontal disease. His examination can reveal whether your overall health is suffering. For example, by looking for key symptoms, our dentist can determine if you are suffering from anemia or vitamin deficiencies. In addition, many bacterial and viral infections begin with harmful bacteria that flourish in your mouth. Our dentist monitors the general health of your mouth as well as the growth of this harmful bacteria, which can help to prevent serious illness. Examining your tongue and mucous membranes can also reveal if you are dehydrated and need fluids.
If you are a smoker or a drinker, you have additional reason to visit your dentist. Our dentist looks for signs of precancerous lesions on your tongue and in the soft tissues in your mouth that may indicate the development of cancer. Early identification of oral cancer and cancers of the head and neck can save your life.
Finally, regular professional cleaning that you receive at the office benefits your health as well as helps your teeth look whiter and brighter. Professional cleanings strip away tartar and plaque, as well as harmful bacteria. When these bacteria enter your bloodstream, they can infect your lungs and cause pneumonia, or even lead to a heart attack or a stroke.

Precision Camera, in partnership with Olympus, experimented with something new this year. They hosted six bands in their event space for a SXSW inspired music performances. They weren't connected with SXSW but they held this during the same week. Olympus had cameras and lenses available to borrow, and with some free drinks and live music, it was an unexpected transformation of my favorite camera store.
While I don't normally notice it at the downtown bars, the music seemed extra loud playing in the normally serene store. Also, it probably had the best lighting of any live music "stage" I've ever shot. No smoke-filled, neon lit, dingy dive bar here, of course — they had several LED light panels. While it didn't have quite the ambiance of the downtown bars, it was easy to make good pictures.
I borrowed the Olympus 45mm f1.2 Pro lens for a short time as I shot the last couple of bands. The show was on all afternoon, but I had just stopped by after work. This is the second time I've used this lens, and I must say, it's extraordinary. The clarity and detail are quite amazing. Certainly, really tempting for a future lens purchase. My first experience shooting Layilah with the 45mm 1.2 was equally satisfying.
Here's Chase Weinacht from a band called Marmalakes, which was the closing act. I used the 45mm f1.2 on my Olympus PEN-F for this Capture One converted RAW. Dare I say, it looks sublime. I'm sure part of it was the good lighting. But wow, I really like what this lens does.
Thanks for your visit, Bearseeall. Indeed the Olympus 45 f1.2 is very tempting.

MADRID FUSIÓN 2011 January 25, 26 & 27, 2011 Headliners: Ferran Adrià, Juan Mari Arzak, Joan Roca, rising Catalan star Jordi Cruz, Mexican chefs Bricio Domínguez and Martha Ortiz, Peruvian star Gastón Acurio, Chefs from Singapore and Flanders, Along with Carlo Cracco and Slow Food's Carlo Petrini from Italy.
Ferran Adrià in a pensive moment at Madrid Fusión 2009.
The 9th annual Madrid Fusión International Gastronomy Summit will take place in Madrid on January 25, 26 & 27. Headlining the conference, as he has every year since its inception in 2003, will be Ferran Adrià, who will give his annual estado de Ferranismo (state of Ferranismo) address on opening day, this one entitled El Nuevo Bulli.
Chicago's Grant Achatz at Madrid Fusión 2009.
This time Ferran will elaborate further on the permanent closing of elBulli, "the world's best restaurant," on July 31, something he has done frequently for the past year since announcing the restaurant's closing at Madrid Fusión 2010 in a bombastic press conference that produced an explosion of articles about Ferran that could be described as the espuma (foam) that frothed around the gastronomic world--in record time. Presumably, Ferran will enlighten this year's audience about his more definitive plans for the elBulli foundation (read Ferranismo think tank), when it opens in 2014 on the site of elBulli restaurant on Cala Montjoi, the legendary hard-to-get-to cove near Roses (Girona). And certainly, we should hear more about the January opening in Barcelona Tickets, the flagship of undoubtedly will be become a string of tapas-and-cocktail bars that Ferran and his brother, Albert, have in the works.
Other highlights planned for Madrid Fusión 2010 include appearances by star Spanish Basque chefs Juan Mari Arzak, Elena Arzak, Martín Berasategui, Pedro Subijana, Andoni Aduriz and Eneko Atxa; Catalan stars Joan Roca and his brother Jordi, Carme Ruscalleda, Ramón Freixa and Jordi Cruz, a superb young chef who recently moved from the wonderful off-the-beaten-path provincial restaurant L'Angle (located next to Fundación Alicia near Manresa) to take over at Barcelona's tony Restaurante Abac. Stars from other parts of Spain such as Quique DaCosta (Alicante), Mari Carmen Vélez (Alicante), Dani García (Andalucía) and Angel León (Andalucía). Madrid chefs will include Paco Roncero (La Terraza), Sergi Arola (Arola Gastro) and Ricardo Sanz (Kabuki Wellington).
The region of Galicia will be represented by transplanted Italian chef Flavio Morganti (Galileo, Ourense) and Beatriz Sotelo (La Estación, A Coruña) plus Iago Pazos y Marcos Cerqueiro, two young rising stars who run an exceptional tapas restaurant, Abastos 2.0, in the Santiago de Compostela market. On the sweet side, super stars include the great pasteleros-chocolateros Christían Escribà, Oriol Balaguer, Jordi Butrón, Paco Torreblanca and Jacob Torreblanca.
Mexico and South America chefs invited include Mexico's Bricio Domínguez and Martha Ortiz, with Peruvian star Gastón Acurio. Italy will be represented by the great Carlo Cracco and Carlo Petrini of Slow Food.
Each year, Madrid Fusión has a sub-theme representing the cuisines of a single country--Mexico, Perú, Japan. This year Singapore will be represented with chefs Matthew Bax (Trippling Club), former Restaurant Daniel (New York) and elBulli stagier Kevin Cherkas (Blu) and French-trained (Ducasse and Gagnaire) rising star Andre Chiang (Restaurant Andre) and Flanders will feature presentations from chefs Bernard Lahousse (Sense for Taste, Bruges, Belgium), Dave De Belder (De Godevaart, Antwerp) and Gert de Mangeleer (Restaurant Hertong Jan, Bruges).
The first version of Madrid Fusión in 2003 was a huge success and launched a plethora of international food conferences and spawned numerous imitators in Spain itself. Each year it seems something of note that resounds throughout the culinary world occurs here.

Among the most memorable were the appearance of France's nouvelle cuisine super stars and Nobu Matsuhisa in 2004, the appearance of Thomas Keller and awards to several great American culinary stars in 2006 (see photo below), Santi Santamaría's spectacularly scandalous declarations deriding Spanish cocina de vangaurdia practitioners in 2007--"The only truth that counts is the product comes from the earth, passes from our stoves to the diner's mouth, and is then defecated."--and Ferran Adria's bomba announcement last year that he was closing elBulli.

Scripps CEO Among America's 100 Most Powerful in Healthcare
Scripps Health President and CEO Chris Van Gorder.
Scripps Health President and CEO Chris Van Gorder, FACHE, has been selected to Modern Healthcare's annual ranking of the nation's 100 Most Powerful People in Healthcare, published in the magazine's Aug. 24, 2009 edition.
Van Gorder has been named to the list for three straight years and is the sole San Diegan selected in 2009. He is the only San Diego hospital administrator ever to make the list since its inception in 2002.
Distributed nationally, Modern Healthcare is one of the nation's largest health care trade publications. Earlier this year, Modern Healthcare invited readers to nominate candidates for the 100 Most Powerful People in Healthcare list. Readers submitted more than 25,000 nominations, and Modern Healthcare then placed the 300 people who received the most nominations on a final ballot on its website.
As president and CEO of Scripps Health since 2000, Van Gorder has led the nonprofit health system through $115 million operational turnaround, and in the process repositioned Scripps among the nation's leading health care institutions. Scripps is now at the beginning of a $2 billion growth and expansion plan across the region and has recently branched out into leading-edge research areas such as genomics, translational science and wireless medicine. Scripps has also been named among the nation's top employers by Fortune magazine, as well as AARP and Working Mother magazine.
In addition to his duties with Scripps Health, Van Gorder serves as chairman-elect of the American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE), an international professional society of more than 30,000 health care executives. As chairman-elect, he is serving the first of a three-year term in ACHE's consecutive chairmanship offices: chairman-elect, chairman and immediate past chairman.
Van Gorder also serves as a commissioner on the California Commission on Emergency Medical Services. Under his leadership, Scripps Health is working with the state of California's Emergency Medical Services Authority to develop the internal operations structure for the state's recently purchased mobile field hospitals, to be used in the event of mass casualties from natural disasters or terrorist events.
Van Gorder is also serving his second term as a commissioner to the United States Commission for the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
He is a clinical professor in health administration at the University of Southern California, where he also serves on the Healthcare Administration Advisory Board of the university's School of Policy, Planning and Development. In addition, he is a reserve commander in the San Diego County Sheriff's Department Search and Rescue Unit and a licensed emergency medical technician.
Earlier this year, Van Gorder received the 2009 B'nai B'rith National Healthcare Award for his leadership in health care, education, community service and disaster response.
Van Gorder received his master's degree in public administration/health services administration from the University of Southern California and completed the Wharton System CEO Program at the University of Pennsylvania. He earned his bachelor's degree from California State University, Los Angeles.

Q: Sending optional parameters to Twilio Studio to trigger Flow using PHP SDK I'm trying to send optional parameters to a Twilio Studio Flow Trigger using PHP. I followed the example shown in the Twilio Studio REST API docs and was successful triggering a new Flow using the (required) sender and recipient phone numbers.
use Twilio\Rest\Client;
$sid    = "ACXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX";
$token  = "my_auth_token";
$twilio = new Client($sid, $token);
$execution = $twilio->studio->v1->flows("FWXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX")
                                ->executions
                                ->create("+15555559876", "+15555551234");

After getting the basic communications working, I now want to pass a couple parameters to the Flow. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any PHP examples that include optional parameters. (The docs mention how to access parameter values in the widgets with {{flow.data.parameterName}}, but not how to generate the request in PHP.)
The answer is probably easy and obvious but I can't figure it out and would appreciate any guidance.

A: Received an answer from Twilio Support.
$data = ["parameters" => ["foo" => "bar"]];
$flow = $twilio->studio->v2->flows("FWxxxxx");
$flow->executions->create($to, $from, $data);

Optional parameters are now passing through and can be used by widgets in the Studio Flow.

text: Q: Can't connect to l2tp vpn on Mac OS Good afternoon. I used a connection to l2tp vpn with a certificate in Windows, while I did not add a certificate and a shared key, and everything worked. I switched to a mac os, and through the standard mac os vpn client, and it does not connect to vpn, and requires an shared key. Can anyone suggest how to get around this problem?
