Earlier this week, we noted the ruling of the Rambam, in Hilkhot Kelei Ha-mikdash (8:11), that a kohen may not wear his avneit – the special belt worn by kohanim – at times when he does not perform the avoda (service) in the Beit Ha-mikdash. Since the avneit contained both wool and linen, it constituted sha'atnez and was thus forbidden to wear it except in the situations when the Torah requires wearing it, namely, while performing the avoda.
The Radbaz (Hilkhot Kilayim 10:32) explains that in the Rambam's view, the kohen gadol is allowed to wear his avneit at any time because he has the right to insist on performing the sacrificial rituals in the Mikdash whenever he so desired. The other kohanim were divided into shifts, and members of each shift were selected for the various rituals based on a lottery system. However, the kohen gadol reserves the right to perform any of the rituals whenever he wishes, as the Rambam explicitly rules in Hilkhot Kelei Ha-mikdash (5:12). The Radbaz thus suggests that since the kohen gadol can at any moment decide to perform the avoda, he is always permitted to wear his avneit.
A different theory is advanced by Rav Baruch Teomim-Frankel (author of the famous work Barukh Ta'am), in his Ateret Chakhamim (Y.D. 23). He cites the Rambam's formulation in Sefer Ha-mitzvot (asei 33) in describing the mitzva upon the kohen gadol to wear his special garments, where the Rambam writes that the kohen gadol is commanded "to always wear these garments in the Temple." The implication of this phrase is that unlike other kohanim, who are required to wear their special garments only when they perform the avoda, the kohen gadol is commanded to wear his special garments at all times when he is in the Beit Ha-mikdash, and not just when he performs the avoda. As such, the Rambam's ruling that a kohen may not wear his avneit when he is not performing the avoda is not relevant to the kohen gadol, who is to wear his garments at all times.
It should be noted that the Rambam mentions this halakha also in Hilkhot Kilayim (10:32), where he writes simply that it is forbidden for kohanim to wear the avneit when they are not performing the avoda. In this context, the Rambam does not note a distinction between the kohen gadol and other kohanim, as he does in Hilkhot Kelei Ha-mikdash. Regardless of how we explain the implied distinction drawn by the Rambam in Hilkhot Kelei Ha-mikdash, his comments there appear to contradict his ruling in Hilkhot Kilayim, where no such distinction is drawn. We might speculate that in Hilkhot Kilayim the Rambam wrote "kohanim" as a reference to specifically the ordinary kohanim, but the question still remains why he made this distinction clear in one context but not in the other.

Kobe Says No to Rio Olympics
January 17, 2016 January 18, 2016 Valerie Morales
Kobe Bryant's last gold medal will be his last gold medal. His Olympic career is done. Before a road games against the Utah Jazz, Bryant said he wouldn't play in Rio this summer as part of USA Basketball. He wouldn't try for his third gold medal. He wouldn't walk off the world's stage for the last time as an Olympian.
"I think as beautiful as it would be to play for our country, when I say my last game is going to be my last game, I'm going to retire, then that's it. I think it's pretty sweet to have the final game be in a Lakers uniform and support the players from afar."
That last game of Kobe Bryant's career will be April 13th, against the Utah Jazz. They are the team that Bryant acknowledges was the most physical of all the teams he played against in his career. They are also the team that changed how he approached the game.
In 1997, the Lakers played the Jazz in an overtime playoff game. It was an elimination game for the Lakers. Kobe Bryant tossed up an airball as the last second shot. The Lakers walked off the court, defeated.
No one was more dejected than 18 year old Bryant. When the plane landed, he didn't go home. He went straight to Palisades High School and stayed there until the next morning, working, practiing, shooting. It was the type of adversity ethic that defined his career and, also, for better or worse, defined how he judged his peers and teammates. What mattered more to him than shooting and defense was how hard his teammates were willing to work when faced with adversity. How much film did they watch? How many hours were they in the gym? How committed where they to the principle of sacrifice?
On the face of it, the only way the Olympics made sense was as a Jason Kidd figurehead type, someone playing 6-8 minutes a game. Perhaps if the injuries hadn't cropped up this year, Kobe may have considered it. To stop playing in April and then to start all over again in July is too much for an almost 38 year old's body that is already in revolt. Bryant has two Olympic medals. His 2008 medal was a personal triumph. The U.S. won that gold medal game because of his fourth quarter excellence. They redeemed themselves.
And so this summer, there he will be. After traveling throughout the world, Kobe Bryant and his daughters will be watching like the rest of us. His basketball life, a part of his past. His Olympics glory, a part of his past. His Lakers brilliance, a part of his past.
He gave a shout out to the younger players who will compete in Brazil.
"I think it's their time. I think it's their time. I've been fortunate enough to win two gold medals so I've had my moment. I think it's important for them to go ahead and play. I'll watch them from afar, support from afar."

GATECREEPER SIGNS WITH NUCLEAR BLAST.
Posted on January 28, 2021 by Oran
The highly revered and critically lauded blue-collar Arizona death metal band GATECREEPER has officially joined Nuclear Blast, home to a lion's share of the heaviest riffs in rock and metal.
Regarding the signing, GATECREEPER states:
"We are excited to start the next chapter of Gatecreeper with Nuclear Blast. We look forward to continuing the growth of our band with Monte Conner and the rest of the label."
Nuclear Blast's A&R legend Monte Conner adds:
"I love Chase and Gatecreeper's killer work ethic and their marriage of brutality with actual songs. I am so excited to hear what they come up with next but I KNOW it will be their ultimate album. I am honoured they have chosen Nuclear Blast and me to be part of their continuing mission for world domination."
News of the partnership arrives on the heels of the band's surprise EP release, "An Unexpected Reality," which landed on Billboard's Top 40 Albums and ranked #1 on the Top New Artists Albums chart.
The record was written and recorded entirely during the pandemic and is available now from Closed Casket Activities at this link.
GATECREEPER's follow up to 2019's jaw-dropping album, Deserted, deviates from their signature brand of death, and drops a crushing mix of hardcore and grind on the record's "fast side" and a morose dose of doom on the "slow side."
Having already established themselves as one of the best emerging death metal acts in the game, GATECREEPER's next chapter with Nuclear Blast will undoubtedly further cement their legacy for decades to come.
Welcome home GATECREEPER!

Destructive glacier lake outburst flood near Almaty, Kazakhstan
Posted by TW on July 29, 2015 at 06:02 UTC (4 years ago)
Categories: Floods, Satellite imagery
A warm spell triggered a destructive glacial lake outburst flood along the Kargalinka River threathening residents of Almaty, the largest city in Kazakhstan, earlier this month. A state of emergency has been declared across the affected areas of Almaty.
NASA's Earth Observatory explained what exactly happened:
"Warm weather in 2015 has increased the flow of melt water from Kargalinka Glacier into nearby melt ponds. On July 23, 2015, the moraine holding back water in a melt pond failed, sending water, mud, boulders, and other debris rushing down the river toward Almaty. While a dam in the outskirts of the city rebuffed some of the water, the flash flood swamped several neighborhoods, injured 76 people, damaged 127 homes, and forced about 1 000 people to evacuate. Towns on the outskirts of the city, including Algabas and Alatue, were the most severely affected."
The first image, captured by the Operational Land Imager (OLI) on Landsat 8, shows the flood aftermath on July 27, 2015. The second image shows how the same area looked 16 days earlier, on July 11, 2015.
In the more recent image, the melt pond has emptied and a fresh layer of fresh and debris lines the river. Note that south is up and north is down in both images in order to overcome the visual effect of relief inversion.

The Kargalinka is not the only river in the area that faces the threat of glacial lake outburst floods. In 2012, an analysis of satellite imagery of the northern Tian Shan pointed out 47 potentially dangerous lakes in the region.
Meanwhile, the same heat wave that triggered the Almaty flood has caused similar outburst floods elsewhere. Some 300 000 people were stranded and three people were killed by a glacial lake outburst flood in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province in Pakistan, according to news reports.

Homepage / Military News / New 6.9 Billion US Military Initiative Would Benefit Taiwan and Vietnam
New 6.9 Billion US Military Initiative Would Benefit Taiwan and Vietnam
A $6.9 billion U.S. military initiative that's moving through the Senate would aid beleaguered Taiwan and Vietnam by thwarting major threats from their rival China. The bill is seen as an outgrowth of the 2018 Asia Reassurance Initiative Act and is expected to bolster U.S. naval forces in the Western Pacific. Senators are working on the Pacific Deterrence Initiative with a budget of $1.4 billion in the initiative's first year for U.S. military activity in Asia and $5.5 billion in its second year.
Beijing claims self-ruled Taiwan as its own and vies separately with Vietnam over sovereignty in western parts of the South China Sea. U.S. officials see China as a rival superpower and smaller Asian governments, including Taiwan and Vietnam, as allies in containing Chinese maritime expansion. China has flown military aircraft into the island's air defense zone five times since June 9.– China sent a survey ship earlier this year into the Southeast Asian country's exclusive economic zone.
The Pacific Deterrence Initiative sends a "strong signal to the Chinese Communist Party that America is deeply committed to defending our interests in the Indo-Pacific," the Senate Armed Services Committee said in its 2021 budget act. Specifically, the initiative would "focus resources on key military capability gaps," reassure U.S. allies, and improve the "credibility" of American deterrence, the committee said. U.S. forces should look at building runways, adding theater missile defenses and improving command, former U.S. assistant secretary of defense Randy Schriver wrote in a March 10 commentary.
The 2018 act calls for supporting a close security relationship with Taiwan and encourages visits to Taiwan by high-level U.S. officials. That act, which followed a period of confusion in Southeast Asia about U.S. President Donald Trump's strategy for the region, further directs the U.S. government to deepen "security cooperation" with Vietnam. Vietnam is due this year to receive a second U.S. Coast Guard cutter for its own coastal defense. The U.S. Navy has sent warships seven times this year to date through the strait separating China from Taiwan, comforting Taiwanese people and angering Beijing.
Extra funding from Washington would allow "high-end" deterrence against China, said Euan Graham, senior fellow with the Singapore-based International Institute for Strategic Studies. But U.S. forces will still find it hard to overcome China's long-term hold over Asian waters, he said. Beijing uses its navy, coast guard, fishing fleets and economic incentives to occupy disputed islets in the South China Sea. U.S. allies Malaysia and the Philippines also contest Chinese claims to the 3.5 million-square-kilometer sea but get along better with Beijing diplomatically than Vietnam does.

Nonfiction by Lacy Warner: Sorry Babe. Be Well.


"A smart detective knows how much may be learned from the environment in which a body has been found …" —Dr. Douglas Ubelaker, Bones, A Forensic Detective's Casebook, pg. 105.
Physical anthropologists are experts in human skeletal variation. Forensic anthropologists are physical anthropologists who apply their knowledge of human skeletal variations to civil and criminal investigations. Forensic anthropologists solve murders. Like archaeologists, forensic anthropologists recreate the past from rubble, according to Joyce and Stover, pgs. 3, 26.
Douglas H. Ubelaker is curator of anthropology at the National Museum of Natural History at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC. He is a nationally known expert in forensic anthropology and co-author of "Bones—A Forensic Detective's Casebook." According to the dust jacket on his book, Dr. Ubelaker is a "top consultant" to the FBI.
Best selling novelist Patricia D. Cornwell, author of All That Remains, says of Dr. Ubelaker, "When the terrible truth about a death lies mingled in the soil, or identity is reduced to a singe bone, investigators call Douglas Ubelaker. Dr. Ubelaker is truly one of the finest forensic sleuths of our time."
As Dr. Ubelaker points out, forensic anthropologists place utmost emphasis on examination of human remains at the site or situation of discovery, or in situ, and recovering the remains themselves. Once the relationship between the remains and the environment has been disturbed, it cannot be created again with accuracy, writes Dr. Ubelaker in Bones, pg. 107.
Several other noted forensic anthropologists echo Dr. Ubelaker's sentiments. They are Dr. William Maples, co-author of Dead Men Do Tell Tales, and Clyde Snow, whose work was memorialized by authors Joyce and Stover.
Dr. Maples tells of his involvement in a Fort Myers, Florida case where three corpses had been found buried in the same grave.
"The corpses would have to be disinterred very carefully if a case were to be made against their murderers. The details of the crime would have to be reconstructed from the stratigraphic evidence of the scene." Dr. Maples took great care to make sure that happened. "… In those days I was having some back trouble. I found it excruciating to stoop over these corpses for hours on end. I compromised by crawling down into the hole and lying alongside the bodies, digging them out while lying next to them, face to face …" The care with which the murder victims were excavated demonstrated that the victim buried deepest had been shot last (Maples, pgs. 57-58 and photo caption).
Speaking of Clyde Snow's work in recovering the remains of the victims of the junta in Argentina, authors Joyce and Stover tell us: "By six o'clock, Snow and his assistants had uncovered the entire skeleton. They photographed the remains in situ and carefully placed the bones in small plastic bags" (Joyce & Stover, pg. 247).
So important is examining the remains in situ that if the forensic anthropologist can't get to the scene of the crime, the scene of the crime goes to the forensic anthropologist. Dr. Ubelaker describes such a case.
In 1985 a Massachusetts state policeman found some skeletal remains in the grass beside an interstate highway. "The skeleton was in wet ground and had become intricately embraced by a wild net work of shrubs, weeds, and vines, and "police investigator" Martin realized that to extricate it for examination would risk the destruction of potentially valuable evidence. A metal detector was brought in: careful probing within the frame of bones produced four bullets. After the scene was photographed in detail, he divided the body in two at the top of the legs, then lifted each half—bones, shreds of clothes, soil, plant life, root systems and all—in two huge blocks, which were packaged in heavy shipping crates and sent to Washington," writes Ubelaker (Ubelaker, pg. 105).
The crates were delivered to the FBI, which is situated close to the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C. A short time later Dr. Ubelaker says his phone rang. It was the FBI inviting him to come over. "Along with the bones, they've sent us a couple of acres of Massachusetts real estate," his contact told him. Dr. Ubelaker writes that he rushed right over.
"When the sides of the crate were removed, we all saw the body almost exactly has it had first been found." Dr. Ubelaker goes on to describe two huge cubes of earth, "like great chunks of chocolate cake" along with grass, twigs, roadside debris, and human bones.
Dr. Ubelaker comments that by addressing the problem of the anonymous roadside corpse in that manner, "we had a unique opportunity to see the remains in the laboratory in exactly the same relationship they had to each other in the field—and once that relation was disturbed, it could never be re-created with complete accuracy … Another great advantage in seeing the body in that context was that it allowed me to distinguish between trauma at the time of death (perimortem) and the effects of postmortem vegetable growth." Dr. Ubelaker calls the solution of the Massachusetts state police investigator "inspired" (Ubelaker, pg. 107).

Townsend ends Leeds loan as Birmingham consider move
Spurs winger Andros Townsend has cut short his loan spell at Championship club Leeds United, reports Sky Sports News.
Townsend, 20, joined Leeds on loan for the remainder of the season on January 1, and has made seven appearances for the club since, scoring one goal. However, with Neil Warnock recently taking over as manager from the sacked Simon Grayson, Townsend has become the first face out of the door, though Warnock was at pains to point out that it was not at his behest.
"I've lost Townsend. His agent told me he didn't like it here, he wasn't happy and he hadn't settled. I'm disappointed because we've lost a player, but I don't want people who don't want to be here, so good riddance I say if it's what he wants to do." Warnock also hinted that Townsend could be set for a similar loan agreement with fellow Championship club Birmingham, adding, "I've heard that Birmingham want to sign him, I don't know if that's got anything to do with it."
Townsend has featured for England at U19 level, but has yet to establish himself in the Premier League for Tottenham. This is partly due to his being behind the vastly more experience Gareth Bale and Aaron Lennon on the wings. He has completed several loan spells in the past at lower league clubs, including Ipswich, Watford, Millwall and Milton Keynes.

Sr. Veronica Wood, will speak on "God's Mercy as Revealed in Rembrandt's Painting of the Prodigal Son." All are welcome. Women of the parish are particularly encouraged to attend. Sponsored by the Rosary Altar Society.


Do you want to discover how to get him to show his emotions with you? Are you tired of sensing like you don't know what is going on in his mind? Are you unhappy because you aren't even certain how he feels about you? It may not help to listen to your thoughts, but you are not alone. In fact, the primary issue most women have about the men they are with is that he doesn't show his feelings with them. There are some reasons why this occurs, none of which are really too reassuring, but at least if you know why they do it, it may make you feel better about it And if you play your cards properly, you may even be able to have him to share his emotions with you, at least a bit. Maybe He is Just Being Himself, Typically men don't talk about feelings or emotions. If you listen to men talk you'll notice that they even use terms in a different way than women. Girls would question each other about how they feel about something; men, on the flip side, try to ask other guys if they ponder about something. Ladies are all about sensations and emotions.
You are better off to go ahead and take the indirect approach, where you talk to him on the logical level of the relationship. Then every once in a while you might let him know how certain thing makes you feel. If you have captured him off guard, he may even tell you how it makes him feel too. These are only little steps in the big picture of having him to share his emotions, but at least it's a start When you tell him your feelings about him, do not necessarily expect him to do exactly the same. Say it promptly, smile and move on to something else. If you can keep up things with ease and avoid the too serious conversations, he may slowly come around soon enough and actually begin to share his feelings and probably emotions.

Blind Faith plays Hyde Park 1969
Hindu Love Gods was a side project of REM members, without Michael Stipe, with Warren Zevon as lead singer on the eponymous album released in 1990, with mostly blues covers and Prince's "Raspberry Beret," Georgia Satellites' "Battleship Chains", "I'm a One-Woman Man" and Woody Guthrie's "Vigilante Man" as the non-blues cuts.
According to the official legend these tracks were cut in a single night during the sessions for a Warren Zevon album on which the REM guys were playing, and were not intended for release, though one wonders why the songs were recorded so well in the first place if there was no intention to release.
Frankly, I have never cared much for REM because their jangly style of indie pop rock just did not do it for me and I have never understood how REM got to be big, important and significant. The only REM album I've ever liked, is Monster (1994) and that is because it sounds like the kind of mid-Sixties garage band punk I am fond of.
The Hindu Love Gods (1990) record came in a rough, industrial looking cardboard sleeve, as if it were some bootleg. This must obviously have been intentional, given the story of the drunken recording session that was not meant for public consumption. I cannot even remember whether the band members were identified anywhere on the cover. I bought it at budget price, probably from Ragtime Records in the Golden Acre of Cape Town, because the band name rang a vague bell (I would have read a review of the album in one of the UK pop monthlies I was buying at the time) and because of the recognisable blues tunes of the track listing.
Allegedly the blues are in the air Americans breathe and is supposed to live somewhere in the very heart and soul of American musicians whether they play the music or not. I would never have thought of the REM guys or Warren Zevon to have had any background in blues and perhaps they learnt the songs on the night they recorded them, but some of these songs are such standards that I would think the guys could well have learnt to play the. Long before. REM was formed in Athens, Georgia, in die heart of the South where blues come from and this must be where they at least heard, or had an opportunity to hear, blues.
The band did not try to recreate an authentic blues band vibe. They were having fun and turned up the amps and rocked out, with the blues tropes as the cornerstones. Someone must've had a fondness for the music of Prince, whose "Raspberry Beret" was a mid-Eighties hit for him from the psychedelic experimentation era of Around The World In A Day. The Georgia Satellites was a good, old-fashioned Southern rock and roll band that made a number of albums of good time, frat party rock and roll.
The album opens with two Robert Johnson tunes, although firs cut "Walking Blues" is also associated with Muddy Waters whose "Mannish Boy" is a highlight of this set. The guys do Albert King's "Crosscut Saw," and "Wang Dang Doodle", which is associated with Howlin' Wolf. The playing is tough and Zevon growls the blues with the appropriate menace without trying to sound too black. I would also never thought that Peter Buck could play like this, with a really vicious attack at times, without aping any recognisable blues guitar style. He mainly sticks to sharp rhythm guitar
"Junko Partner" is an old New Orleans piano blues I associate, in different versions, with Jelly Roll Morton and Champion Jack Dupree, and now also Hugh Laurie, and here this piece of New Orleans braggadocio is performed with a swaggering insouciance that probably makes it the centre point of the whole album. This is the tune I would have put out as the potential hit single off the album.
Both "Raspberry Beret" and "Battleship Chains" are taken at a fast, joyous lick that suits two frat party anthems. One can visualize the Hindu Love Gods, in Pacific Northwest punk finery, being filmed as the house band at some dingy dive in a Sixties teen exploitation movie, knocking out cover versions like these for the dancing pleasure of a drunk college crowd.
Maybe that is the high concept of the album: the boys wanted to make a record in the style of the punk forebears who were inspired by the Rolling Stones and Yardbirds and who played a mixture of straightforward rock and roll and rocked up blues with a psychedelic twist. The Hindu Love Gods could have been a long lost combo from Portland, Oregon who were major movers on their local hometown circuit, managed to get out this one record and never meant diddley squat in the rest of the world.
This record is good fun and rocks like a Tasmanian devil.

Whilst the Little Mix girls are busy working on their fifth studio album, they're also racking up a number of sensational beauty collections.
Jade, Jesy, Leigh-Anne and Perrie recently teamed up with COLAB dry shampoo, and just last month they revealed they would be releasing their very own LMX brand of cosmetics in September. Now, the girls have teamed up with Simple for a limited edition five piece collection.
Check out the official promo video below.
Simple is known for being a top skincare brand, and whilst its products are suitable for all skin types, they specialise in dealing with sensitive skin. In an interview with Glamour, Jade said that the #SimpleXLittleMix collaboration is a partnership made in heaven, as she's grown up using Simple's products.
"This partnership is cool because I've used Simple since I was about twelve. It's the only thing I use and it's improved my skin so much; it's a product that we do actually believe in," said Jade.
The good news is that the #SimpleXLittleMix is available now in Superdrug stores and online. Better still, all items are currently better than half price, meaning that you can snag all five items for just over £10. The bad news is that the collection is sadly limited to the UK only, sorry global Mixers.

The Nelson Memo: Public Access to Research and what this means for researchers
Course Material Fellowship Program Now Accepting Applications through September 12
Student Spotlight: The Land, Wealth, Liberation Digital Resource

The Nelson Memo asks all federal grant agencies, including those providing funding in the Humanities & Social Sciences, to require immediate public access to the peer-reviewed scholarly publications funded by those grants as well as to the underlying research data.
Researchers applying for grants will need a persistent identifier like ORCID
Scholarly Societies relying on subscription models may be adversely affected when the Nelson Memo is implemented.
On Friday, October 28, IU Libraries will host a one-day symposium for conversations on open access in Wells Library Hazelbaker Hall.
What is the Nelson Memo?
The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy issued a Memorandum on August 25 titled Ensuring Free Immediate & Equitable Access to Federally Funded Research, widely referred to as the "Nelson Memo." When its provisions are implemented federal grant agencies are required to ensure that researchers who receive federal funds deposit their peer-reviewed scholarly publications in agency-designated public access repositories without any embargo or delay after publication. Prior to this the 2013 Memorandum titled Increasing Access to the Results of Federally Funded Research, widely referred to as the "Holdren Memo" allowed for up to 12 months' delay in providing public access to research funded by certain federal grant agencies.
Humanities & Social Science researchers
Unlike the Holdren Memo which covered only federal grant agencies with over $100 million in annual research and development expenditures (grant budgets), the Nelson Memo covers all federal grant agencies. Humanities and Social Science HSS) researchers should pay attention to this as it means that many HSS grants that were not covered by the 2013 Memo are covered by the Nelson Memo. The Nelson memo explicitly cites peer-reviewed book chapters, editorials, and conference proceedings as being subject to its provisions.
Researcher IDs
The Nelson Memo also specifically addresses persistent identifiers and access to scientific data underlying peer-reviewed scholarly publications (research data) resulting from federally funded research. For persistent identifiers the Nelson Memo points back to the 2021 NSPM-33 Guidance for Implementing NSPM-33 on National Security Strategy for United States Government-Supported Research and Development which recommends persistent digital identifiers for federally funded individual researchers. It directs federal grant agencies to require that applicants have such a persistent identifier. An ORCID ID meets these qualifications and Indiana University Libraries is an ORCID member. Review our ORCID Guide to learn how to set up your ORCID ID and contact research impact and open scholarship librarian, Willa Liburd Tavernier, if you need further assistance.
Research Data Sharing
The research data sharing requirements carve out protections for human subjects data, trade secrets and confidential commercial information, personally identifiable information, and other information which is protected other law and policy. The Nelson Memo requires that federally funded research data should be made publicly and freely available at the time of publication in a digital repository that aligns with the National Science and Technology Council document entitled "Desirable Characteristics of Data Repositories for Federally Funded Research". Indiana University Libraries' DataCORE repository, is largely compliant. For questions, contact research data librarian Ethan Fridmanski.
Research output and research data are not only expected to be publicly accessible online immediately upon publication but should be in formats that allow for machine readability and enable broad accessibility through assistive devices
For all researchers
The Nelson Memo applies to all researchers on a paper, not just corresponding authors. It is applicable not only to research articles but to all peer-reviewed scholarly publications including book chapters and conference proceedings. Federal grant agencies with budgets of $100 million or higher, should have compliant public access policies in place by February 21, 2023, and other agencies have until August 20, 2023. Researchers should be prepared to comply with these policies by these deadlines. Researchers making grant applications now should include open-access publication costs in their grant budget. The Nelson Memo stipulates that federal granting agencies should allow for the inclusion of reasonable publication costs and costs associated with submission, curation, management of data, and special handling instructions.
For Scholarly Societies
We are aware that many of our researchers are heavily involved in scholarly societies. Many scholarly societies use a hybrid or delayed open access publication model, with embargos of varying length, and differing policies on what version of a published research article may be openly shared. Free access is often a perquisite of membership, while revenue from journal subscriptions contributes valuable funding for the society's activities. Immediate public access to the peer-reviewed manuscript will significantly affect these ways of doing business. Other options for scholarly societies are:
Diamond Open Access publishers like library publishers which are institutionally financed and do not charge societies or authors for their publication activities e.g. Hindsight: Journal of Optometry History (iu.edu)
The community-supported model where institutions pay supporter, membership, or shareholder fees to finance open access publication Journal of Agriculture, Food Systems, and Community Development
Subscribe to Open, where existing subscribers commit to maintaining subscriptions at a sufficient level to allow the journal to make its content open access e.g. Berghahn Open Anthro (berghahnjournals.com)
Gold Open Access, where the society requires that authors pay article processing charges for all publications. Most publishers use a model where researchers in low-income countries can access discounts or complete waivers of these charges.
Supporters of the new initiative praise the removal of the embargo period, the requirement for identifiers, access to research data, and robust metadata requirements as enhancing the transparency and integrity of the research ecosystem. However, there are some concerns. The language of the Nelson Memo is not directive and states that federal agencies "should", rather than are required to, bring their policies in line with the memo, which could create some lack of clarity and compliance. It is also possible that the Nelson Memo will lead to further dominance of the "author pays" open access model in the publishing world, where the publisher requires an article processing charge to publish the research work open access. A move in that direction will shift even more taxpayer resources to dominant commercial publishers, five of whom control over 50% of global research output. In addition, the Nelson Memo requires public access, not open access, which means that re-use rights beyond access might be severely curtailed by publishers' licensing terms.
IU Libraries has negotiated several open access publishing agreements with major publishers such as Cambridge University Press, and PLOS which employ other models and do not require IU corresponding authors to pay an article publishing charge.
On October 28, 2022, IU Libraries will host a one-day symposium for conversations on Open Access in the Wells Library Hazelbaker Hall starting at 9:30 am. We will highlight IU authors' experiences with publishing open access, showcase various models of funding open access publication, and frankly discuss challenges and limitations.

Q: BeautifulSoup getting attribute value not working I have code to extract an attribute value but it is not getting all of them only if i specifically go into one. I am confused as to what is incorrect.
from  bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import requests

url = 'https://seekingalpha.com/market-news'
page = requests.get(url)
soup = BeautifulSoup(page.text, 'lxml')

news = soup.find(name="ul", attrs={'class':"item-list",'id':'latest-news-list'})
root = 'https://seekingalpha.com'

#id_list = [i['id'] for i in news.find_all(name='li', attrs={'class':'item'})]
heading_list = [i.text for i in news.find_all('a')]
#url_list = [root+i['href'] for i in news.find_all('a')]
datehtml = news.find_all(name='li', attrs={'class':'item'})
date_list = [news.find_all(name='li', attrs={'class':'item'})[i] for i in range(len(datehtml))]
#date_list2 = [i.split()[0] for i in date_list]
#id_list2 = [i.split('-')[2] for i in id_list]

date_list[1]['data-last-date'] # works
[i['data-last-date'] for i in date_list] #error

A: Your code is a bit messy, that's for starters. Other than that, why don't you just grab all li tags with class item and extract the attribute value?
For example:
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

url = 'https://seekingalpha.com/market-news'
soup = BeautifulSoup(requests.get(url).text, 'html.parser').find_all("li", {"class", "item"})
print([l.get("data-last-date") for l in soup])

Big digital billboard at Eisenhower Interchange has to go, Pa. court says
Digital billboard must come down court says
A massive digital billboard near the Eisenhower Interchange has to be removed because it violates state regulations regarding highway beautification and driver safety, a Commonwealth Court panel ruled Monday.
The problem, Judge Patricia A. McCullough wrote in the state court's opinion, is that the 57-foot-high V-shaped sign is a distraction that is simply too close to the interchange of Interstates 83 and 283 and also is visible to drivers on Route 322.
The Kegerreis Outdoor Advertising Co. took the case to court after the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation told it the sign in Swatara Township has to go. The legal battle has been going on for six years, starting right after township officials gave the company a permit to erect the sign, which began flashing its LED messages to passing motorists in March 2012.
PennDOT initially struck an accord with Kegerreis with the understanding that the sign could not be visible from any highways other that I-83 and I-283. However, the agency ordered the south face of the sign removed in December 2012 after determining the part of the billboard can be seen from ramps E and F of Route 322.
Also, PennDOT found the sign in the 4200 block of Paxton Street was illegally close to an interchange. State law bans such structures from being within 500 feet of such road junctions.
In denying Kegerreis' appeal, McCullough found that PennDOT's removal order is supported by the state's Outdoor Advertising Control Act. That law sets distance requirements for roadside advertising to comply with federal rules and ensure the state doesn't miss out on federal highway funding.
The act's purpose, McCullough noted, is to foster the beautification of highways by curbing the proliferation of roadside advertising. The law also aims to guard against the erection of structures, such as large, flashy signs, that might distract motorists at "significant decision points," especially busy interchanges, the judge said.

"Contact" Review
It doesn't happen very often.
Seldom. Really.
Typically, an evening of viewing the latest collection of submitted short films is followed by a glimpse at the calendar to look at when time will allow the subsequent writing of the review.
Occasionally, however, a film such as Contact comes along and overwhelms the senses while demanding an immediate journalistic response before the cinematic experience has even left my body. A 10-minute short film conceived and directed by Jeremiah Kipp, Contact is a black-and-white tour-de-force starring Zoe Daelman Chandla and Robb Leigh Davis as two young lovers whose drug score underneath a seedy underpass leads to an increasingly horrific trip through drug-induced psychological horrors perhaps both real and imagined.
Creating a journey that somehow manages to be both a cautionary tale of drug use and simultaneously a rather celebratory embrace of the journey one's mind travels while high, Kipp's Contact manages to be both horrifying and intellectually satisfying. Barely scripted, Contact relies on the power of its actors and the hypnotic camera work of Dominick Sivilli, whose ability to create compelling visuals on a modest budget is nothing short of astounding.
As the centerpiece of Contact, Zoe Daelman Chandla is a revelatory blend of sensuality, horror, innocence and vulnerability. The film's closing scene, unexpected yet perfectly woven into the fabric of Contact, is amazing in its simplicity and the way it integrates a core of humanity intertwined within the heightened sense of dread and anticipation. As her lover, Robb Leigh Davis provides solid companionship for the amazing journey while Alan Rowe Kelly's brief appearance as the duo's drug dealer is straightforward yet memorable.
Kudos as well to Katherine O'Sullivan and Tom Reid as an elderly couple whose actions are simple yet sinister, meaningless yet filled to the brim with meaning. These two characters, with nary a word spoken, could have easily undone Contact but both O'Sullivan and Reid magnify the film's sense of dread against the backdrop of Sivilli's camera work.
Created by Kipp specifically for what has been said to be the final Sinister Six Film Festival in mind, it feels unjust to sweep Contact into the narrow horror short sub-genre. While Contact is indeed graphic and horrifying and sinister and creepy, it is also a film that transcends genre with its intelligence, sensitivity, intimacy and, perhaps, just a touch of hope. Contact is transcendent horror.
It is often said that many directors and studios tackle a horror film because it's possible to create a convincing horror film on a low to modest budget. While this is true, to a certain degree, of full-length feature films it is quite the opposite in terms of short film. It is a difficult task to create a convincing, chilling, horrifying and satisfying horror short with all the chills and thrills packed into the span of a mere few minutes of screen time. Within a mere 10 minutes, Jeremiah Kipp and the stellar ensemble cast of Contact have created a visually compelling, emotionally resonant and intellectually stimulating journey through the internal and external worlds of a young couple and the world in which they live.

Now and Then? Mariners send Edwin Encarnacion to Yankees for prospect they already traded away
June 15, 2019 at 6:31 pm Updated June 15, 2019 at 10:33 pm
Seattle Times staff reporter
OAKLAND, Calif. – A sore lower back supposedly kept Edwin Encarnacion out of the lineup the past three games. And now, the Mariners' best hitter will never make another appearance in it again.
After MLB sources confirmed pregame reports, the Mariners officially announced that Encarnacion, the American League leader with 21 home runs, had been traded to the Yankees after Seattle's 11-2 loss to the A's. The Mariners will receive young right-hander Juan Then in return for Encarnacion while the Yankees will pick up somewhere between $8.5 to $10 million of the cash owed to Encarnacion.
"I knew there was something in the works here the last 24 hours, but you never know," manager Scott Servais said. "There are a lot of things in the works that never happen. But just right before game time I was made aware that Edwin was not going to be on the scorecard tonight and we were going to move him."
If the name – Juan Then — sounds familiar, it's because it was recently mentioned when the Mariners released reliever Nick Rumbelow.
Seattle acquired Rumbelow from the Yankees on November 18, 2017, in exchange for Then and right-hander J.P. Sears. At the time, Then was a 17-year-old who had just completed his first season in the Dominican Summer League. Last season, he pitched for the Yankees' rookie affiliate in Florida, posting a 0-3 record and 2.70 earned-run average in 11 starts. He struck out 42 batters and walked 11 in 50 innings.
"Juan is a great kid and his stuff has really jumped, velocity and breaking ball, we really like it," Servais said. "He has chance to be a starter. He's a young pitcher that kind of fits in the mix of guys we just drafted. It's a nice arm to bring back."
General manager Jerry Dipoto isn't with the team in Oakland and is attending his son's college graduation in San Diego. But he did trade for Encarnacion while in a Las Vegas hospital during the winter meetings.
The Mariners acquired Encarnacion this offseason with no intention of keeping him for the full season and flipping him for a prospect or two. They intended to make the trade before spring training started, but the market for Encarnacion never materialized after Nelson Cruz spurned the Astros and Rays and signed with the Twins. Neither Houston nor Tampa seemed interested in acquiring Encarnacion mainly due to his contract. He was owed $20 million for this season with a $5 million buyout for a $20 million option in 2020.
Less than thrilled about having to start the season with Seattle, Encarnacion didn't allow it to affect his play on the field. He played in 65 games, posting a .241/.356/.531 slash line with seven doubles, 21 homers and 49 runs batted in. He showed he wasn't strictly limited to designated hitter, playing 45 games at first base and proving to be a still adequate defensive player.
"Edwin did great things for us," Servais said. "I really think a lot of him and how he went about his business here, knowing that this could probably happen. It's hard to go out and produce the way he did. He did everything we could ask of him. He's been awesome in our clubhouse. We wish him the best."
The Yankees will have a lineup that now features Encarnacion along with Luke Voit, Gary Sanchez, Gleyber Torres, Didi Gregorius and will soon add Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton.
A quick look at the evolution of this process for the Mariners would be logical.
On Dec. 3, 2018, they traded shortstop Jean Segura and relievers Juan Nicasio and James Pazos to the Phillies in exchange for shortstop J.P. Crawford and first baseman/designated hitter Carlos Santana. They paid $1 million to Segura to waive his no-trade clause, but the Phillies assumed the remaining $61 million owed on his contract and also picked up the $9 million owed to Nicasio. After starting the season in Class AAA Tacoma to control his service time, Crawford is now the Mariners' everyday starting shortstop. Santana was part of the deal to even out the money. He was owed $17 million in 2019 and $17.5 million in 2020. But the Mariners planned on trading him before he ever put on a Seattle uniform.
That happened while Dipoto was in a Las Vegas hospital bed during the MLB winter meetings. A blood clot in his lungs forced him to the hospital, but he was still able to finalize a three-team trade that sent Santana to the Cleveland Indians. The Mariners acquired Encarnacion and a competitive-balance round B pick in 2019 draft. Seattle selected talented right-handed pitcher Isaiah Campbell out of the University of Arkansas with the pick. The Mariners also received $5 million in cash from the Indians and sent $6 million to the Rays, which is paid out over two years.
So essentially through all the deals, the Mariners acquired Crawford, Then and Campbell while ridding themselves of Segura's future earnings and presence beyond this season.
"We've gotten a lot of young prospects back, unfortunately they are not all here yet," Servais said of the stepback/rebuild. "It's our job here to take the guys we've got and get the most out of them and get them to improve."
M's trade Segura and relievers to Philly for Crawford and Carlos Santana
M's trade Santana to Cleveland for Encarnacion and comp pick
Ms trade Encarnacion to Yankees for Juan Then
So the Mariners have netted Crawford, Then and Isaiah Campbell … not sure on $$

'I couldn't goal-kick to save myself last night'

France to host 2025 Rugby League World Cup
'Apologetic' Rockets issue follow-up statement

Noah Lolesio has vowed to step up his goalkicking as the Rugby Championship begins, judging himself harshly for his off-night against the All Blacks.
The Wallabies went down 33-25 in their Bledisloe Cup opener with the All Blacks on Saturday night at Eden Park.
Lolesio was central to the action, just like he was in the 2-1 series win over France, but against New Zealand he couldn't produce.
The 21-year-old kicked two from seven, leaving 12 points on the park in the eight-point loss.
"I couldn't goal-kick to save myself last night. I couldn't really judge the wind and personally I have to be better there," he told Channel Nine on Sunday.
The Wallabies have rallied around Lolesio, with Dave Rennie and Michael Hooper both speaking in his defence.
"You don't go from an ace goalkicker to a novice overnight … we have a lot of faith in the kid," Rennie said.
Australia's scoreline, aided by the last three tries of the match, would suggest Lolesio's kicking was the difference.
Opposing coach Ian Foster disagreed.
The All Blacks coach turned down the chance to turn the screws against the young No.10, when asked whether Lolesio's boot had cost the Wallabies a drought-bursting win at Eden Park.
"It didn't feel like that to me," he said.
"The scoreline at 65 minutes (when the All Blacks led 33-8) probably showed the answer.
"There were a couple of shots they would have liked to get … you can't always blame your goal kicker when you win or lose."
Like his coach, Lolesio is drawing inspiration from his side's late rally.
Three tries inside the last 15 minutes, including a Tom Banks double, reduced the deficit ahead of next Saturday's clash which doubles as the second Bledisloe Test and the first that counts for Rugby Championship points.
"All the boys are disappointed with the result but we're all like 'far out we were pretty close to winning that'," Lolesio said.
"It wasn't too bad of a vibe (to lose) to be honest.
"We know with small fixes we can get the result.
"There's two games left. In a Bledisloe Cup series you've got to win two games. We'll take plenty of learnings from this and plenty of positives as well."

I am running an Arduino uno r3 with grbl v.8 installed, a drv driver to a single stepper. on a fresh flash of grbl(thru Arduino ide) and a new board with a new drv driver everything worked correctly, after shutting off the unit and disconnecting from power and usb, I could not get ugs to recognize grbl. this happened 8 times on 4 different set ups. I would have to reprogram a bootloader thru the ide and reflash Arduino with grbl to get it to function again. everytime I disconnect same problem. so on the ugs side the com/baud number is correct, the pc recognizes the Arduino but I cannot send or receive to Arduino. I checked all connections about 100 times everything is 100% correct. this is strange. any ideas?

Miley Cyrus Shares Picture of Her New Tattoo
Nasima Khatun
Miley's had a whirlwind couple of months. First, fans were freaking out after photos of the star looking worryingly skinny emerged. Then, Miley was caught making out with Cody Simpson. Then she confirmed that he is, in fact, her boyfriend, and then she was hospitalized with Cody rushing to her side. Oh, and she's been going through a highly publicized breakup from her husband, Liam Hemsworth, on top of all this.
Phew, all caught up?
Anyway, people are now gossiping about her and her new man for another reason...
The singer was spotted with a new tattoo that has left the internet questioning what her motives were... Keep scrolling to see it.
Miley and Liam were one of Hollywood's most high profile couples.
With a relationship that spanned across almost a decade, the pair have been in and out of each other's lives for a long time.
And, when they finally tied the knot last December...
People thought that it would mark an end to their constant breakups.
How wrong they were...
Only seven months after getting married, the couple announced that they were calling it quits... Again.
Miley moved on pretty quickly...
Miley's brief romance with Kaitlynn Carter stole our hearts for approximately twelve minutes before things fizzled out.
And Miley seems to have found someone else to fill that little void.
But you'll never guess who with...
Video footage was released of Miley having a cozy lunch with Cody Simpson.
You remember Cody, right? He was basically like the Australian Justin Bieber back in 2009, making that lovey-dovey kind of music with lines that only turned into lies as we grew up. Love is not as cute as Simpson made it out to be.
But, before that, they were caught lip-locking while on a trip to the grocery store.
Not quite the romantic gossip I wanted, but it's adorable nonetheless. An E!News insider revealed the information on Thursday after seeing the pair for a "brief moment."
Cody and Miley have been friends for years now...
So, he was there supporting Cyrus through all of her relationship ups and downs, and it seems as if the two have finally found some comfort in each other.
Some people have even brought up the fact that four years ago, the two went out on a couple of dates...
And they seem to have rekindled that old flame again.
In fact, it seems like Miley's admitted that Cody is actually her boyfriend.
Sure, this came as a shock, but if Miley's happy, we're happy.
The two seem pretty loved up.
Miley revealed that Cody is her "BF" on her Instagram stories and, while this had the internet reeling, a lot of people had their minds on the "hospy" part of the caption instead...
Fans were worried at the sight of the star in the hospital.
Hey @MileyCyrus . Just saw you were in the hospital. I hope you have a speedy recovery so you can get back to kicki… https://t.co/sZbHAacmcr
— Stephanie (@Stephanie)1570591426.0
Miley has sure had a tough couple of months and after those pics surfaced, Twitter was concerned, to say the least. "It breaks my heart seeing my baby at the hospital. Feel better soon MC," one Twitter-user wrote, while another wrote: "Miley Cyrus in a hospital bed sick gives me anxiety pray for baby girl! Wish her all the best!"
Miley was keeping her fans updated from her hospital bed.
These updates included a picture of Cody rocking up to the hospital with roses and his guitar. Aw!
"Guitar," you say?
Yep, you guessed it! Cody serenaded Miley in the hospital - too cute!
Miley is said to have been hospitalized after falling ill with tonsillitis.
The star is set to appear at Gorillapalooza, a charity event set up by Ellen DeGeneres, this weekend and wrote on Instagram: "Send good vibes my way!" "Hoping the Rock star G*DS send me a boost of bad a** and help me kick this s*** to the curb where it belongs! We got gorillas to save!"
She opened up with her new man in an Instagram Live video...
Miley and her boyfriend, Cody, hosted a live Q&A with their fans in which she discussed her feelings about her ex as well as giving us relationship advice.
She told us this:
In which Miley told her followers, "There are good men out there, guys, don't give up. You don't have to be gay, there are good people with d**ks out there, you've just got to find them. You've got to find a d**k that's not a d**k, you know."
A blatant dig at Liam?
Obviously, we wouldn't expect anything less. She continued, "I always thought I had to be gay because I thought all guys were evil, but it's not true. There are good people out there that just happen to have d**ks. I've only ever met one, and he's on this live." At this point, Cody starts laughing and beaming... Like the cat that got the cream.
She's been making some questionable choices lately...
Remember when the whole of the internet blew up over this shirt? While the rest of her outfit was low-key, the slogan on her t-shirt caused a little bit of controversy.
The message is an eyebrow-raiser, to say the least...
In bright, bold letters, the words "Will work for sex" are emblazoned across her chest.
People weren't impressed.
Many slammed the star for sporting such a degrading and damaging message after getting out of a long-term relationship, with one social media user writing sarcastically: "So modest and classy. A shining example of morality for our youth to look up to. Thank you for being such a wonderful role model, Miley."
And it gets worse...
The latest thing on the list of questionable Miley antics is her new tattoo...
Rumored to be inspired by her new beau, this tattoo had fans slightly concerned...
With fifty pieces of body art already stamped on her, including a vegemite jar, this was just another one to add to the bunch. However, people are worried about her as they believe the new body ink is inspired by Cody Simpson. Yikes. A little early in the relationship there, Miley?
A grinning skeleton with a crown. Is it a coincidence that Cody Simpson also had a freshly-inked skull and crossbones on his shoulder... I think not! Fans have started piecing the whole thing together and it makes total sense!
This is a close-up version:
It seems as if they're both happy with each other and that's all that matters. We hope this whirlwind romance brings them both happiness and stability.

Memorabilia Monday: I Am One, 10" Vinyl
On August 24th, 1992, Smashing Pumpkins released their first, and only, 10" vinyl single through Hut Recordings – a subsidiary of Virgin Records. An alternate version of "I Am One" appears on the initial Limited Potential 7" – released approximately two years earlier. The 10" vinyl features exclusive b-side tracks which were unavailable elsewhere at the time; namely, "Terrapin" and "Bullet Train to Osaka". The single alone is intriguing for the exclusive tracks, however, it is also interesting as the front artwork displays the eyes of, presumably, two band members as they look through crescent moon masks. However, the identity of the people has never been corroborated, making this little mystery quite fascinating to many devoted Smashing Pumpkins fans. The reverse artwork also features a person donning a mask with an unnamed, white "kitty kat", prominently displayed in the forefront. Will we ever know the identity of the masked individuals? Either way, this unique vinyl celebrates a 23 year-old birthday today, and is a wonderful piece of memorabilia and artwork for any collector or fan.

Chainsaw carving in Craig, Colorado.
We're on the topic of developing fair and equitable pay in organizations. For background on the series and the importance of pay transparency, please see Installment 1: Overview and Key Steps.
Examining the current pay scale (sometimes called a salary schedule) is the first in-depth activity for leadership in understanding how employees are paid. If none exists, create one.
Note: I'm recommending a pay scale by position first, without naming individual employees. This supports more consistent budgeting, pay transparency and equitable compensation practices for organizations.
Establishing pay ranges and grades by position is a more objective and evergreen exercise, because the pay scale applies to an organization regardless of the people occupying each role.
A second phase of analysis might include a by-name pay scale, which would highlight disparities in pay for people holding the same positions. This is a far more complex technical exercise because seniority, expertise, and other issues must be taken into account. Of course, the human aspects of reviewing and adjusting pay are also very personal; it's best to tread carefully on this ground.
Add a column to identify gender for each person; review and correct any disparities noted.
Include additional demographic characteristics, such as Veteran status or race/ethnicity.
Check back next week for tips on how to complete a wage comparability study (external data) to go with your pay scale (internal data). Comparison of the two will ultimately lead to a new pay schedule, which outlines the desired wages and pay ranges for each position.

Different forms of help for refugees
Since the first refugees arrived from Ukraine, members and friends of the UMC in the bordering countries have begun to set up aid programs. They offer the refugees at least for a short time places where they can rest and talk as well as receive clothes, food and medical care.
The willingness to help is great. "The storages are full of donations at the border and the NGOs are very active. Lots of ordinary people open their homes, go to the railway stations, apply for volunteering, donate food or other materials, take up refugees by car," Milan Mutschler describes the situation in Hungary. He coordinates the UMC's aid activities for the refugees there.
In order for the refugees to receive the help they need, cooperation is important. In the countries bordering directly or indirectly on Ukraine, the political authorities are very active, writes Urs Schweizer, assistant to Bishop Patrick Streiff, in a March 23 report giving an overview of the UMC's relief efforts. In some countries, the Church has long been seen as a reliable partner. In others, the authorities are now making the same observation. In many places, therefore, there is a willingness on the part of the authorities to cooperate in dealing with the emergency. For example, in Pilsen (Czechia), talks are underway about setting up a children's group for Ukrainian children. In Bulgaria, too, the establishment of centers for Ukrainian children is being considered. There is also cooperation in various countries in the areas of food supply (food bank) and language courses for children and adults.
In Romania, the UMC is working with other, non-governmental organizations, for example, to find a safe accommodation for refugees. It also provides meals for refugees in cooperation with local restaurants. Cooperation between churches has also changed as a result of the situation. "Today, we can boldly ask each other - and the doors open," says Methodist pastor Bence Vigh, for example, describing the situation in Hungary.
The UMC's relief efforts have four main focuses: In many places, shelters for refugees are offered or organized. In Cluj-Napoca (Romania), for example, 20 to 30 people can be accommodated at a time. But here, those who want to stay longer term are also helped to find permanent accommodation. "Over the past three weeks, about 70 people have been hosted in Cluj-Napoca," Schweizer writes.
Providing meals and food for the refugees is another focus of the help provided by the UMC. "Where refugees are housed, they also receive meals from local churches or church members."
In addition, the refugees receive clothing and shoes: these would either be bought locally or donated from around the Methodist congregations. "So far, local churches in Poland, Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria have been reluctant to accept trucks of used clothes and shoes from Western Europe, as long as everything can be bought in the respective countries or is donated by locals," Schweizer writes. However, the situation in Ukraine itself is different, as many goods are already no longer available there.
This is also a fourth way in which members and friends of the UMC provide help: people from Czechia, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, and Romania have already traveled to Ukraine several times with aid supplies. Long-standing relationships between Methodists in these countries and those in Ukraine are coming to fruition.
"This work is only possible through the dedicated work of local church members and professionals who are willing to give up their free time for this cause," states a newsletter from Czechia. When refugees stay for a very short time, a high degree of flexibility is required on the part of the helpers, Schweizer adds. "And the volunteers work hard when it comes to preparing meals, washing clothes, etc."
"The helpers are sometimes stretched to their limits," says Sarah Putman. She coordinates the Methodist Church's relief efforts in Romania. "We have to get used to the new 'normal' hours, schedule, needs and priority of helping our new friends while maintaining other church activities."
The people who come and go are very different. Giving them the support they need along the way remains a major challenge. "What all these people have in common is a longing for a safe place," Schweizer writes, "a longing for security, peace, a hopeful future - and in many cases, fear for family members still living in Ukraine."
The concern for their relatives cannot be taken away from them by the people of the UMC. But that they find safe places - at least for a short moment - is what the Methodists are working for.
