Jinsi ya kuanza na OpenStreetMap.org
====================================

> This guide may be downloaded as [beginner_start-osm_sw.odt](/files/beginner_start-osm_sw.odt) or [beginner_start-osm_sw.pdf](/files/beginner_start-osm_sw.pdf)

Katika kipande hiki tutajifunza hatua kwa hatua namna ya kuzungusha
tovuti ya OpenStreetMap, kuangalia ramani, na kufungua akaunti ya
mtumiaji. Baada ya kuwa na jina lako la kutumia na neno lako la siri, utaweza
kuchangia pointi yako ya kwanza kwenye ramani.

![website][]

Tembelea tovuti ya OpenStreetMap
-------------------------------

-   Kabla ya kuanza, kuwa na uhakika kompyuta yako imeunganishwa  na mtandao wa internet.
    (Kama wewe unataka kuisoma hii ukiwa kwenye mtandao, basi lazima uwe umeunganishwa!)
-   Fungua mtandao browser yako. Browsers za kawaida ni Firefox, Chrome, Opera, au Internet
    Explorer. Kama ni tayari wazi basi unaweza kuunda tabo mpya

-   Kwenye juu ya dirisha, ingiza kiungo kifuatacho www.openstreetmap.org:
    [www.openstreetmap.org](http://www.openstreetmap.org/)
-   Wakati ukurasa unamaliza kufunguka, unapaswa kuona kitu kama
    hiki:

    ![OpenStreetMap website with some main functions listed][]

Angalia Ramani
----------------

-   Kitu cha msingi unatakiwa kuona ramani. Hamisha ramani kwa kubofya
    upande wa kushoto bila kuachia kipanya kuelekea chini, na
    vuta kipanya kwa kuzungusha (angalia picha hii chini)

    ![Mouse navigation][]

-   Kama unatumia kipanya chenye kizungushio, kuza ramani ndani na nje
    kwenye ramani kwa kuzungusha kigurudumu cha katikati. Kama hauna
    kipanya kilicho na kigurudumu cha katikati, tumia alama ya jumlisha +
    na alama ya kutoa – kwa upande wa kulia kwenye kona ya kompyuta yako
    (ona mchoro hapa chini).

-   Kutafuta eneo, bofya kushoto katika sanduku limeandikwa "Search" upande
    wa kushoto wa ukurasa (tazama picha ya juu). Andika jina la mji wako
    au kijiji na ubonyeze Enter. Window inapaswa kuonekana kwa upande wa
    kushoto wa ramani na matokeo ya utafutaji wako. Bonyeza kwenye eneo
    ambayo inaonekana kama unataka. Ramani moja kwa moja itahamia eneo
    ulichagua.

    ![Search][]

Tazama Ramani  Kwa Namna Mbalimbali
-----------------------------------

Open StreetMap inajumuisha data mbalimbali za kijiografia kutoka sehemu
mbalimbali za dunia. Japokuwa zote zipo kwenye mbegu moja. Data zinaweza
kutafsiriwa kwa namna tofauti na kuwekwa kwa namna tofauti. Kuona haya,
hebu tazama ramani za aina mbalimbali kutoka kwenye tovuti ya OSM.

-   Bofya kulia kwenye kitufe cha tabaka mkono wa kuria wa ramani.
    ![Layers button][]

-   Bofya kwenye machagulio tofauti ya ramani. Thibitisha namna ramani
    zinavyoweza kubadilika. Kwa mfano, ramani zinazoonesha njia za usafiri
    kwa kutumia mizunguko mbalimbali. Data zote hizi kwa urahisi zaidi
    zinajumuishwa kwenye mbegu ya OSM.

    ![Transport map][]

Kufungua akaunti ya OpenStreetMap
-------------------------------

-   Sasa umeshaona jinsi tovuti inavyoonekana,unaweza  kujisajiri kwa
    jina lako na nenosiri na kwa mara ya kwanza unaweza kuongeza kitu
    kwenye ramani.

-   Katika tovuti ya OpenStreetMap,bonyeza "sign up" (ingia) katika kona
    ya juu kulia ya ukurasa.

-   Inapaswa uone ukurasa mpya unaoonekana kama hivi:

    ![Registering an OpenStreetMap account][]

-   Kuna visanduku vitano katika ukurasa huu ambapo unatakiwa kuvijaza
    ili usajiliwe kwenye akaunti na OSM.

-   Ingiza anwani ya barua pepe yako katika visanduku viwili vya mwanzo.
    Unatakiwa uingize barua pepe zinazofanana katika visanduku vyote.
    Baadaye, unatakiwa kufungua barua pepe yako kuhahakisha akaunti
    yako pamoja na OSM.

-   Katika kisanduku cha tatu,inSiza jina ambalo ungependa kuwa nalo.
    Autaweza kuchagua jina ambalo mtu mwingine alishachagua kabla
    yako, kwahiyo inatakiwa liwe la kibunifu. Kama unajarib kuingiza
    kitu rahisi, kama jina lako la kwanza, inawezekana kwamba mtu
    mwingine tayari alishatumia hilo jina.

-   Ingiza neno siri jipya katika kisanduku cha nne na tano. Unatakiwa
    kuingiza nenosiri linalofanana katika visanduku vyote. Sio lazima
    iwe sawa na nenosiri la barua pepe yako.

-   Unaweza kuandika pembeni jina na nenosiri la OSM. Utalihitaji baadae
    kuingia.

-   Baada ya kumaliza visanduku vyote, bonyeza "Sign Up" (jiandikishe)
    chini ya ukurasa.

-   Kama kuna tatizo lolote, ujumbe wa makosa utajitokeza. Angalia
    kuhakikisha kwamba barua pepe yako inafanana katika visanduku
    viwili vya mwanzo na neno siri lako linafanana katika visanduku
    viwili vya chini. Kama kisanduku cha tatu kimekuwa chekundu,
    inamaanisha kwamba mtu mwingine tayari alishachagua hilo jina na
    inatakiwa ujaribu jina lingine.

-   Fungua dirisha tofauti au tabo katika  browser ya mtandao wako, na hamisha
    katika barua pepe yako. Kawaida maeneo ya barua pepe ni
    [mail.yahoo.com](http://mail.yahoo.com) na [www.gmail.com](http://www.gmail.com).

-   Ingiza anuani ya barua pepe yako na neno siri lako kufungua barua.
    Angalizo hii __sio__ inayofanana na jina na neno siri la OpenStreetMap.

-   Kama kila kitu kimefanikiwa katika usajili wako, unatakiwa uone barua
    kutoka OpenStreetMap katika inbox yako. Fungua barua pepe. Inapaswa
    kuonekana kama picha hii chini. Bofya kwenye kiungo ambayo inaonekana
    hapa chini:

    ![Confirming your OpenStreetMap account][]

-   Dirisha au tabo mpya itafunguka. Kama kila kitu kilienda sawa,
    unatakiwa uwe na akaunti ya OSM.

-   Katika ukurasa wa OpenStreetMap, bonyeza "log in" (ingia) katika kona
    ya juu kulia. Ingiza jina na neneo siri la OpenStreetMap na bofya ingia.
    Unatakiwa sasa uwe umeingia. Unatakiwa uone jina unalotumia katika kona
    ya upande wa kulia wa ukurasa.

Kuongeza pointi yako ya kwanza
------------------------------

-   Sasa ukiwa umeingia kwenye tovuti ya Ramani Huria kwa kutumia jina
    lako la utumiaji, unaweza kutumia iD Editor kuongeza point yako ya
    kwanza kwenye ramani.

-   Peleka ramani kwenye eneo unalolijua vizuri, kama vile mji wako au eneo la makazi. Wazo zuri ni kuhakikisha nyumba     yako (au nyumba ya jirani yako) na kazini kwako kumechorwa na kupewa anwani husika.

    Kuza ramani mpaka eneo unalotaka kuongeza pointi kwenye ramani (labda mgahawa au duka ambalo halijachorwa bado)

-   Juu ya ramani mkono wa kushoto, kuna kitufe kinaitwa "Edit" kikiwa na pembe
    tatu ndogo pembeni yake. Bonyeza pembetatu ndogo. Utaona orodha ikishuka chini.

-   Bonyeza "Edit with iD (in-browser editor)".

    ![Click edit][]
-   Mhariri wa mtandao, jina lake iD, inapaswa kufungua. Utaonekana kitu kama hiki.

    ![iD editor][]

-   Unaweza kuongeza pointi kwenye ramani kwa kubonyeza kifungo aitwaye "Point"
    kwa juu ya dirisha. Harafu bonyeza kwenye ramani ambapo ungependa kuongeza
    kiwango mpya.

    ![Point button][]

-   Chagua kwenye menyu aina ya mahali/sehemu unayoiongeza kwenye ramani. Kisha jaza
    fomu itakayotokea na maelezo ya sehemu husika kama jina na tarifa zingine.

-   Kuhifadhi mabadiliko yako, bonya kitufe kilichoandikwa "Save" juu ya ukurasa.
    Kwasababu hii ni hariri yako ya kwanza, unaweza kuichezea iD. Usihifadhi mabadiliko
    yako kama hujaahakikisha kuwa ni sahihi.

    ![Save button][]

-   Ukibofya Hifadhi (Save), utatakiwa kutoa maelezo ya hayo mabadiliko. Halafu unaweza
    kubonyeza kitufe "Save" tena. Na mabadiliko yako yatahifadhiwa kwenye database ya OSM!

<!-- link to iD editor chapter when ready -->

Kutumia iD editor ni njia nzuri kufanya mabadiliko kwenye ramani za OPENSTREETMAP kwa urahisi.
Lakini kwenye sura inayofuata tutajadili kwa kini JOSM kama programmu binafsi inayotoa uwezo
zaidi na mabadiliko mengi pia.kuwa huru kuendelea kutumia ID , ukishapata uzoefu zaidi , unaweza
chagua utumie programu ya JOSM au ukurasa wa ID EDITOR.

Ufupisho
--------

Hongera! Ikiwa kila kitu kimeenda vizuri, sasa una jina la mtumiaji na neno
la siri  la OpenStreetMap, unafahamu kuipitia tovuti ya OpenStreetMap,
harafu pia umejifunza kiasi kuchora ramani.

Katika sura inayofuata, tutajifunza kuweka programu ya kutengeneza ramani
za OpenStreetMap ambayo inayitwa JOSM, harafu tujifunze jinsi ya kuchora
ramani za tovuti

Eliot Cutler calls for Maine election changes
The independent gubernatorial candidate wants his opponents to support a run-off election or ranked-choice voting to ensure the winner gets at least 50 percent of the vote.
PORTLAND — Independent gubernatorial candidate Eliot Cutler is calling on his likely opponents to support either a run-off election or ranked-choice voting in the 2014 election to ensure Maine's next governor earns at least 50 percent of the vote.
In a letter Wednesday, Cutler asks Republican Gov. Paul LePage and Democratic U.S. Rep. Mike Michaud to support election law changes so the next governor has to get a majority vote.
Eliot Cutler
LePage narrowly defeated Cutler in 2010 with just 38 percent of the vote.
David Farmer, a volunteer spokesman for Michaud, says the congressman's confident he'll get more than 50 percent if he runs. He says Michaud, who's formed an exploratory committee, won't take a position on Cutler's proposal without more details.
LePage spokeswoman Adrienne Bennett didn't immediately return a call for comment.
The Maine Legislature has taken up two bills that would change statewide elections to a ranked-choice voting. Both were soundly defeated by Democrats, who control the Legislature. Previous efforts were rejected when Republicans controlled the Legislature between 2011 and 2012.

Channa aurantimaculata és una espècie de peix de la família dels cànnids i de l'ordre dels perciformes.

Descripció
 Fa 19,1 cm de llargària màxima i és de color marró fosc a negre a la meitat superior del cos i amb 7-8 taques grans i irregulars de color taronja. Aletes pectorals amb una taca negra a la base i 5 franges negres verticals amples.
 Cap allargat i amb la boca grossa, la regió interorbitària gairebé plana, la zona gular sense escates, dues escates grans a cada costat de la superfície inferior de la mandíbula inferior, petites dents còniques al premaxil·lar i 5-7 dents canines grans a cada costat del palatí.
 45-47 radis tous a l'aleta dorsal i 28-30 a l'anal.
 La longitud de les aletes pèlviques és menys de la meitat de la de les aletes pectorals.
 Aleta caudal arrodonida.
 51-54 escates a la línia lateral i 13-15 escates predorsals.
 50-52 vèrtebres.

Reproducció
És un incubador bucal i, probablement, un constructor de nius amb ous pelàgics igual que la majoria d'altres espècies de cànnids. S'ha pogut reproduir en captivitat a Alemanya.

Alimentació
És, probablement, un depredador com els altres membres del gènere Channa.

Hàbitat i distribució geogràfica

Will Qiddiya tempt entertainment seekers from Dubai?
Sebastian Shehadi	| 16/08/2018 11:00 am
Massive reforms across Saudi Arabia are opening up lucrative investment opportunities in the country's underdeveloped media and leisure sector. At the heart of this is Qiddiya, planned to be the world's largest entertainment city. Sebastian Shehadi reports.
In April 2018, Saudi Arabia opened its first cinema after a nearly four-decade ban. Soon after, construction began on Qiddiya, one of three Saudi mega-projects being built from scratch alongside Neom and the Red Sea resort – the pillars of Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman's Vision 2030 that is redefining Saudi Arabia, moving it away from oil, isolation and ultra-religious conservatism.
Occupying a space almost three times as large as Disney Land Florida, Qiddiya will host Saudi's first dedicated theme park (by Six Flags), water parks, motor sports, cultural events, and 11,000 vacation homes by 2030.
With two-thirds of Saudi citizens under 35 and little entertainment available locally, Qiddiya aims to satisfy the recreational, social and cultural needs of an increasingly frustrated youth population, among whom the crown price enjoys great support. Currently, many Saudis flock to nearby Bahrain or Dubai to seek fun, spending roughly $30bn on overseas entertainment each year, globally.
Located an hour's drive from Saudi Arabia's largest city, Qiddiya will target Riyadh's 8 million residents and about 45 million potential visitors from the Arabian Gulf region. A spokesman says Qiddiya expects to attract 1.5 million visitors annually when the first phase opens in 2022, and 31 million by 2035, when the project is meant to be complete.
Qiddiya is seeking a broad range of financing from local and international sources, with bonds, direct investment and other tools to supplement the majority contribution from the main Saudi sovereign wealth fund, the Public Investment Fund.
Local media have reported that the cost of Qiddiya's infrastructure alone would reach up to $8bn, providing work to an estimated 55,000 people – directly and indirectly – by 2022.
"Today, we invite investors, creators and operators from around the world to explore what a one-of-a-kind project such as Qiddiya has to offer...We're not just going [to] copy others... We're going to innovate and stay ahead of the curve," said Qiddiya's CEO, Michael Reininger, at the opening ceremony in April 2018.
Vision 2030 seeks to increase spending within Saudi Arabia on culture and entertainment activities from about 3% of household income to 6%.
Failure fears?
Asked about the failures of other mega-projects in the region, such as King Abdullah Economic City, Mr Reininger said Qiddiya stood apart by fulfilling a clear economic need. "It's a giant market, there's not a lot of competition," he added.
On the subject of religious conservatism, namely Saudi Arabia's gender segregation and the strict female dress code, Mr Reininger said Qiddiya would stay "on the leading edge" of changes in the country, which has eased many of those rules in recent years. However, whether it can rival neighbour Dubai, which allows alcohol consumption, remains to be seen.
Jon Truby, director of the Centre for Law and Development at Qatar University, is very sceptical of Saudi Arabia's other mega-project, Neom, but sees some potential in this latest scheme. "Although designed in Saudi Arabia's usual command-and-control style framework that operates in the absence of a system that encourages organic innovative growth, [Qiddiya could] serve as a model for family-friendly entertainment centres nationally, providing an alternative to the mostly adult-friendly options of Dubai," he says.

Need Help Applying for a mortgage?
Try Our Calculator & View Current Rates
What You Need to Know When Getting a Mortgage in New York
Buying a home can be daunting for first-time buyers - even more so if you're doing it in New York. It's a good thing you can find guides like this post that can help you navigate the complexities of getting a mortgage in New York:
What Are the Steps to Getting a Mortgage in New York?
There are six steps that people applying for a mortgage will need to go through:
House shopping
It will be a long and often stressful journey, but it's important not to rush things.
Who Are the Key Players Involved in the Process?
Two main parties are involved in a mortgage application: the person applying for a mortgage and the lender or institution issuing the loan.
What Are Interest Rates and Other Terms of the Loan?
Interest rate refers to the amount that a lender charges the borrower. It is a certain percentage of the principal or the amount loaned. This is often noted yearly, so it's often called the annual percentage rate or the APR.
Loan Terms, on the other hand, refer to the terms and conditions set when someone's borrowing money. The terms can include the repayment period for the loan, the interest rate, possible penalty fees, and other fees associated with the home loan that may be applicable.
What Are the Different Types of Mortgages Available?
There are a few types of mortgages available in New York:
Conventional Mortgages
These are loans that are not backed by the government. You'll require a higher income and credit score to be qualified for a conventional mortgage, but the interest rates are often lower, so your mortgage will cost less over its lifetime.
Government-Backed Mortgages
There are other types of loans that the US government guarantees. These types of loans protect lenders from payment defaults. They also make it easier for lenders to provide potential borrowers with lower interest rates. Aside from that, they're also easier to qualify for, making them a good option for first-time buyers. Some government-backed mortgages you should check out include:
VA Home Loans
Fixed-Vs. Adjustable-Rate Mortgages
When comparing loans, you'll find that there are different interest rates for fixed and adjustable-rate mortgages. As you can tell from their names, fixed-rate loans, you'll be paying the same interest rate from the time you get the loan to the end of its term.
Adjustable-rate mortgages often start with a lower initial rate, but it could change throughout the loan, depending on the market.
This is a loan in which the borrower would only pay the interest for a certain period with the principal balance unchanged during that period. This could be a good option for those worried about their cash flow.
How Much Can You Borrow?
In general, you can buy a home that's around three times your annual salary. For a quick estimate, you can multiply what you're making in a year by three. Let's say you earn a total of $100,000 per year. It means you can afford a home worth $300,000.
How Do You Choose the Right Lender?
As a homebuyer, you must do your homework to find the best mortgage lender that can meet your needs. Your options include banks, local credit unions, lenders, and more. Learn about the loan program they offer and the interest rates, down payment requirements, loan terms, insurance, closing cost, and other fees before you decide on one.
How Do You Compare Rates and Terms?
When comparing different offers, look at the interest rate and the annual percentage rate first. Your interest rate can vary depending on market factors and your creditworthiness. The APR includes interest rates and fees incurred when you borrow money, so it's a better tool to use when comparing mortgage costs. By comparing these, you'd be able to decide on the right lender for you.
What Factors Are Considered By Lenders?
Standards vary from one lender to another, but in general, there are four Cs that lenders evaluate:
What Are the Risks Involved in Taking Out a Mortgage?
There are certain risks that come with taking out a mortgage from a private lending company. For one, you're likely going to pay higher rates, and additional costs like lender fees, administrative fees, and such could add up to thousands.
Of course, there's always the risk of foreclosure if you fall behind on your loan payments. Because nothing is ever certain, there's a risk that you'd suffer a drop in your income and find it challenging to pay your mortgage, which could result in foreclosure.
What Are the Different Types of Mortgage Fraud?
Mortgage fraud refers to any false statements or misrepresentation done to get a mortgage loan from a lender. Some of the most rampant examples of mortgage fraud are income fraud, occupancy fraud, and appraisal fraud.

Aart Arnout van Schelven (Haarlem, 11 november 1880 - Aerdenhout, 19 mei 1954) was een Nederlands hoogleraar geschiedenis en gereformeerd predikant.

Biografie

Achtergrond
Aart Arnout van Schelven werd in 1880 te Haarlem geboren als zoon van de Kuyperiaans-gereformeerde predikant Bastiaan van Schelven en Louise Diederika van Teylingen. Deze zoon van de reizende evangelist Aart van Schelven werd een bekend bestuurder in kerken en onderwijsinstellingen. Bij zijn overlijden duidde Aart Arnout zijn vader aan als famulus Dei, dienstknecht Gods.

Opleiding
Aart Arnout van Schelven  volgde zijn studie eerst aan het Gereformeerd Gymnasium te Amsterdam, waar zijn vader bestuurder is geweest. Hierna, vanaf 1899, ging hij theologie studeren aan de Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. In 1908 promoveerde hij op De Nederduitsche vluchtelingenkerken der XVIe eeuw in Engeland en Duitschland : in hunne beteekenis voor de Reformatie in de Nederlanden.

Carrière
Vanaf 1909 werkte Van Schelven als predikant in de gereformeerde gemeente van Maarssen. Dit deed hij tot 1914; vervolgens zou hij vier jaar prediken in de gereformeerde kerk te Vlissingen.

In 1918 was bij de Vrije Universiteit de richting geschiedenis gestart, waarvoor Van Schelven het hoogleraarschap in de geschiedenis van de Middeleeuwen, de tijd der Reformatie en Contrareformatie, en de theorie der geschiedenis ging bekleden. Hij hield zich weinig bezig met de middeleeuwen en richtte zich hoofdzakelijk op de zestiende eeuw – daarvan specifiek het calvinisme. Over deze periode ging ook zijn dissertatie, Willem van Oranje. Willem van Oranje's geloof en godsdienstpolitiek (1933). Hij schreef deze biografie in opdracht van het comité voor de herdenking van diens vierhonderdste geboortedag in 1933.

Naast zijn hoogleraarschap was Van Schelven onder meer lid van de commissie voor de Rijks Geschiedkundige Publicatiën, voorzitter van het Gezelschap van christelijke historici in Nederland en (een jaar lang) voorzitter van de Maatschappij van Letterkunde.

Politiek
In tegenstelling tot andere VU-hoogleraren in die tijd, is Van Schelven nooit een gereformeerd boegbeeld geworden; hij begaf zich juist ook in andere kringen. Zo was hij positief over een Groot-Nederland en in samenhang daarmee hoofdbestuurslid van het Algemeen-Nederlands Verbond.

Tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog besloot Van Schelven zich aan te sluiten bij het Nationaal Front (NF). Hij meende dat deze partij een tegenwicht kon vormen voor de NSB en werd op 22 oktober 1940 voorzitter van de toen opgerichte Kulturele Kamer van het Nationaal Front. Hoewel zijn sympathieën voor NF-leider Arnold Meijer bleven, beëindigde Van Schelven op 17 april 1941 zijn lidmaatschap, onder druk van curatoren van de Vrije Universiteit; als hij lid bleef zou hij geen hoogleraar meer kunnen zijn. De Duitse bezetter wilde Van Schelven rector maken, wat hij echter weigerde.

Na de Tweede Wereldoorlog
Van Schelven werd na de bevrijding op non-actief gesteld en hij kreeg op eigen verzoek per 12 mei 1945 ontslag. Niet meer verbonden aan de universiteit, bleef hij desondanks tot zijn overlijden in 1954 doorwerken aan Het Calvinisme gedurende zijn bloeitijd, waarvan twee van de vier delen onaf gebleven zijn.

Persoonlijk
Van Schelven trouwde op 7 juni 1921 te Bloemendaal met Else Wilde, met wie hij drie kinderen kreeg.

Expression of the la crosse m segment proteins in a recombinant vaccinia expression system mediates ph-dependent cellular fusion
David R. Jacoby, Charles Cooke, Indira Prabakaran, Jocelyn Boland, Neal Nathanson, Francisco Gonzalez-Scarano
To study the expression of La Crosse virus (LAC) glycaproteins, G1 and G2, we constructed a cDNA copy of the open reading frame (ORF) of the middle RNA segment and expressed it in a recombinant vaccinia virus (VV.ORF). Cells infected with W.ORF expressed G1 and G2 at the cell surface and formed syncytia with a pH profile similar to that of LAC. These experiments provide a system of studying the biological functions of the LAC glycoproteins, including processing, targeting, fusion, receptor binding, and antigenicity.

For Women's History Month, the city's foremost American cheese expert shines a light on the women who have shaped America's modern artisan movement.
For #internationalwomensday we're highlighting the amazing, hardworking women of American artisan cheese!!! We'll be giving shout outs to our makers throughout the month of March, so keep an eye out for more great stories of cheese-loving women! – – Allison Hooper, co-owner of @vermontcreamery , spent time in France learning the rudiments of cheesemaking, and in 1984 launched her business with Bob Reese. For years Vermont Creamery stuck to making fresh cheeses, but when Adeline Druart, a young dairy science intern from France, joined the team, she decided she wanted to up the ante and produce mold-ripened goat's milk cheeses in the French style. Adeline, Allison, and Bob's passion has yielded a stellar lineup of soft goat and cow's milk cheeses that rival anything from across the pond.
Editor's note: This post originally appeared on Saxelby's Cheesemongers' website. We trust Anne, the shop's founder, on all things cheese including her take on the women who have shaped America's modern artisan movement. You can find all these cheeses in her shop on her website.
The future (and past!) of cheese is female!
Throughout history, women have played a crucial role in cheesemaking. From European cheesemaking traditions spanning many centuries to our nascent artisan cheese boom here in the United States, the role of women in cheese cannot (and will not) be understated! In honor of Women's History Month, Saxelby Cheesemongers is celebrating women in cheese—past, present, and future!
In Europe, the making of many traditional cheeses was seen as women's work. The division of labor on the farm was simple: men performed the "outside" labor like caring for the animals, the land, and the farm's facilities and equipment. Women did more of the "inside" work like of homemaking, child rearing and in the case of dairy farms, cheesemaking. Of course there were (and are) exceptions to that rule: shepherds high in the Pyrenees and Alps milked their animals in the field and made larger-format traditional cheeses like Pyrenees Brebis and Comté for example, but many of Europe's most famed cheeses are the work of women's hands.
We're continuing the celebration of women in cheese all throughout #womenshistorymonth . Follow the link in our bio for a quick primer on some of the amazing women in American cheese!!! Here's a snippet: Sheila and Lorraine purchased Nettle Meadow Farm after deciding to ditch their 'normal' jobs in favor of farm life. Kunik, their signature cheese, is truly one-of-a-kind. It is a triple-creme blend of goat's milk from their farm, and cow cream sourced by a neighboring farm. Nettle Meadow Farm is unique because in addition to being a working dairy farm, it is an animal sanctuary where Sheila and Lorraine can care for animals – both retired dairy goats of their own as well as other animals who need a good home.
In America, women were the force behind the artisan cheese movement that began in the 1970's as a drop in the proverbial pond. Over the past 40 years that drop has swelled to a tremendous wave of delicious cheese that can rival the best of the best from Europe or anywhere else. Those early American tastemakers have been affectionately dubbed '"the goat ladies" and include icons like Laura Chenel and her famous chèvre, Mary Keehn of Humboldt Fog fame, Judy Schad of Capriole Dairy, Alison Hooper of Vermont Creamery, Laini Fondiller of Lazy Lady Farm, Barbara Brooks of Seal Cove Farm, Jennifer Bice of Redwood Hill Farm and Paula Lambert of the Mozzarella Company. Their reasons for making cheese ranged from wanting to provide their families with healthful and wholesome foods as an extension of the Back to the Land movement, to a desire to replicate and further the reach of fabulous goat cheeses tasted while traveling, to a love of goats and goat breeding, or some happy combination of all three.
Starting with zero in terms of resources, they shared information, bootstrapped their young businesses and conjured a goat cheese revolution out of thin air. Back in the seventies and eighties there were hardly any decent milking goats available, much less the milking equipment and cheesemaking supplies necessary to make goat cheese. All of the country's top dairy minds had been focused for more than a century on a different dairy animal – the cow – and how to optimize breeding, milk production, and equipment. Through sheer willpower and and a LOT of elbow grease, these 'goat ladies' pioneered the craft of making great goat cheese here in the US, and inspired generations of cheesemakers to follow!
Starting with zero in terms of resources, they shared information, bootstrapped their young businesses and conjured a goat cheese revolution out of thin air.
Chefs were the first to gravitate towards these fresh goat cheeses (Alice Waters and Thomas Keller were some of Laura Chenel's first customers). Allison Hooper of Vermont Creamery made her first batches of chèvre for chefs in Vermont and Boston who craved it but had no source for it. Chefs paved the way for the "civilians," regular folks who might not have travelled abroad and tasted goat cheese before, but who trusted the chefs and restaurateurs who demystified this delicious cheese for the American palate.
Grayson is made by a dynamic mother-daughter team in Galax, Virginia. Helen was the first cheesemaker in the United States to make a supple, stinky, washed rind cheese, and was told by a few along the way that she couldn't do it! After some tutelage from European cheesemakers, particularly Giana Ferguson of Gubbeen cheese in Ireland, Helen perfected her craft.
Ascutney is made at Cobb Hill Farm, an intentional community conceived by Donnella Meadows, a thought-leader in the world of systems thinking and ecology. This community is dedicated to sustainability, and cheesemaking is one of their communal pursuits. Today Ascutney is made by Jeannine Kilbride, a talented cheesemaker in her own right!
Maplebrook Farm was started by Johann Englert, a woman with good taste and a lot of gusto! After tasting some of Mike Scheps' mozzarella in his Manchester, Vermont store, Johann decided to launch a business to distribute his cheese to shops in the Boston area in a newly purchased Chevy Tahoe. Johann and Mike joined forces and now produce award-winning mozzarella and burrata from the milk of Vermont family farms.
Sheila and Lorraine purchased Nettle Meadow Farm after deciding to ditch their 'normal' jobs in favor of farm life. Kunik, their signature cheese, is truly one-of-a-kind. It is a triple-creme blend of goat's milk from their farm, and cow cream sourced by a neighboring farm. Nettle Meadow Farm is unique because in addition to being a working dairy farm, it is an animal sanctuary where Sheila and Lorraine can care for animals – both retired dairy goats of their own as well as other animals who need a good home.
Allison Hooper, co-owner of Vermont Creamery, spent time in France learning the rudiments of cheesemaking, and in 1984 launched her business with Bob Reese. For years Vermont Creamery stuck to making fresh cheeses, but when Adeline Druart, a young dairy science intern from France, joined the team, she decided she wanted to up the ante and produce mold-ripened goat's milk cheeses in the French style. Adeline, Allison, and Bob's passion has yielded a stellar lineup of soft goat and cow's milk cheeses that rival anything from across the pond.
Emily Montgomery got bit by the cheese bug after working as a dairy science consultant to some of America's biggest dairy companies. Her family's 6th generation dairy farm in Wayne County Pennsylvania was ailing, so she came up with a plan to add value to the farm's top quality milk by turning it into cheese! Now Calkins Creamery is thriving and produces a lineup of award-winning cow's milk cheeses that Saxelby is proud to serve.
Marieke and Rolf Penterman emigrated to the United States to start a dairy farm in Wisconsin. The cost of land in their native Holland was just too high, and their love of dairy farming was so great that it lured them across the sea! Rolf quickly established a thriving dairy herd, but Marieke missed the cheese from back home. She began making Dutch-style raw milk gouda from the herd's milk, and a new business was born!
Sisters Anne and Susan (maiden name Gervais) are two of fifteen children in the Gervais family. The family has farmed in the northwestern reaches of Vermont since the 1960's, and in 2007 Anne and Susan launched Boston Post Dairy to convert the farm's cow and goat milk into top quality cheese.
Angela Miller, a successful literary agent, and her husband Russell Glover purchased Consider Bardwell Farm with the dream of restoring it to its cheesemaking glory. Consider Bardwell is the site of Vermont's first cheesemaking cooperative, and carries on that tradition today, sustaining the farm's herd of milking goats, plus cow's milk from two neighboring farms in town. Cheesemaker Leslie Goff has been working at Consider Bardwell since she was 15 years old, and learned the craft of cheesemaking from Peter Dixon. Today she is the force behind the farm's cheeses, and is in our humble opinion, a bit of a badass.
Patty Scholten (one half of the dynamic duo behind Scholten Farm – the other half is her husband Roger) came up with the idea of turning her farm's superior quality milk into farmstead cheese. In 2007 they sold the herd of cows that had come with the farm and replaced them with a herd of organic Dutch Belted cows. This bright & cheesy idea lead to a partnership with Jasper Hill Farm, who now age their diminutive discs of Weybridge cheese to fudgy perfection.


System Shock 2 is NOT Abandonware.
Thread: System Shock 2 is NOT Abandonware.
Even if SS2 were abandonware, "ABANDONWARE" IS ILLEGAL TO DISTRIBUTE.
Bottom line, end of story.
Copyrights are not considered abandoned even if they are no longer enforced, so the software does not enter the public domain just because they are no longer commercially exploited or widely available.
"We pride ourselves in aggressively protecting our intellectual property rights, and we frequently pursue those who try to distribute our games without permission."
There are no titles in the Electronic Arts library that they consider to be abandonware.
Official word from Irrational: "No, System Shock 2 is not abandonware, please don't warez it"
Consider this the final word from TTLG on the subject of System Shock 2's status. Unless we hear otherwise directly from EA and Irrational, all instances involving the sharing of SS2 will be considered piracy.
Simple answer, NO. Despite the fact that publishers no longer derive revenues from these games since they have stopped selling them (and any revenues from retailers that still sell them were gained a long time ago, at the time of sales), it is illegal to distribute them so long as copyright holders have not released them into the public domain, and 95 years after the games' release have not elapsed.
The GOG.com and Steam versions are already patched to at least version 2.4.


Flower Mandalas Coloring Book Coming in 2015!
Available on Amazon or Barnes & Noble, and I have signed copies in stock in my Etsy shop!
Post by Wendy Bauer Piersall.
Last week I got the news from Ulysses Press that evidently they are happy enough with the sales of Coloring Animal Mandalas to sign me on to do another book of mandala coloring pages with them – WOOT!! My next title is going to be a collection of flower mandalas, which is awesome because if I could choose just one title to do next, it would pretty much be flower mandalas (with art deco / art nouveau mandalas a close second).
and started a Mandalas & Patterns Pinterest board to surround myself with art that I think is better than mine.
This week, though, I'm going to take a bit of time off and do a mini renovation on my home office. "Mini", because the room is really just a 8′ x 15′ enclosed porch. So I'll post a bit about that – then will be posting sneak peeks of the mandalas in progress all along the way. If you really want to see as much of the work in action as possible, follow my Instagram account – I try to post art there daily!
Hey old blogging pal! I am so proud of you. You have so many talents. I have followed you, admired your work and continue to be inspired by all you do and who you are. Thank you!!!
Well I just have to jump into this comment party now… Wendy, it makes me happy to see you back and blogging, not to mention having success with something that you are so passionate about. Keep up the great work as it helps inspire the rest of us to step out and try things too!
STUNNING!!! OMG…. I am REALLY looking forward to purchasing your books! I understand one will be available on amazon soon. Is the animal mandala book available to purchase as well? Thank you for sharing your incredible talent and assisting us to reconnect to our authentic selves.
Stunning and can easily see how relaxing they could be.
I love to color… Always have! I teach high school life skills class and I am very excited to share these beautiful pages with my students!!! I look forward to future email updates! Thank you, ????
I use the geometric mandala designs in my preschool class as the kids have seen me coloring pages which I make copies of and they love it and want to color "designs". It truly gives us a feeling of tranquility and accomplishment. A co worker had a coloring book of mandalas tat she lent me to make the copies but it's stored somewhere now and I'd like to make have more copies. We've even cut them out as they have a solid black circle borders, making it easier for the young kids to cut. I've laminated some of the nicest ones! Thanks!
Just got Coloring Flower Mandalas is the mail. This 64 year old grandma is delighted. Can't wait to get out my colored pencils and stop time. Thank you!!

Alumni-elected statements on Apr 9 resolution
*Note: This post will be updated to include all statements as soon as we can obtain them.
Trustee Barb Doran
President Barron spoke for all Penn Staters when he said he has tremendous compassion for Jerry Sandusky's victims.
Although the NCAA's $60 million fine was an illegal cram down, our compassion makes us very glad that the money will go toward the prevention of child abuse.
We need to remember, however, that highly trained psychologists at Second Mile and at state agencies failed to discover that Sandusky was a pedophile despite years of close contact and numerous interviews. If one wants to find enablers, then one should look to those whose job is monitoring children's welfare.
The case before us makes it clear that we have gone far enough in using the money entrusted to us for the education of our students to pay for the sins of a lone wolf.
We have easily spent a year's worth of state appropriations on the Sandusky scandal. The time is now to draw a line in the sand and I therefore vote "no."
Trustee Ryan McCombie
The legal committee may have sufficient information to make a bona fide, thoughtful decision on this matter. Others on this Board may believe they also have sufficient information to vote for this extraordinary expenditure of funds. The driving impetus for the settlement of this case appears to be the pro-victim bias of the Philadelphia court system. Although this may be one factor, I have not had the opportunity to understand the culpability of Penn State nor the financial risk Penn State may need accept. I have not seen an executive summary of these risks from our outside counsel in this matter. I have not heard the perspective of our insurance companies. With the paucity of information I presently have, in good conscious, I cannot support this resolution at this time.
Trustee Alice Pope
I am a child psychologist and a university professor. My life has been devoted to promoting the well-being of young people. I have great compassion for the victims of Jerry Sandusky.
However, as a trustee of this university, I cannot support a victim settlement when we have failed in our duty to protect and defend the university against false accusations.
Every day that we silently stand in support of the Freeh report is a day that we allow the world to believe that we agree with its conclusions. Our tacit support of the Freeh report exposes the university to claims of our moral and legal culpability that have, in fact, not been established.
I will vote no on this settlement proposal, and I urge my fellow trustees to join me in executing our fiduciary duty to protect the university by repudiating the Freeh report at the earliest opportunity.
Trustee Ted Brown
First, I must express my sympathy for the Sandusky victims, but they are not Penn State victims. I have previously spoken in favor of settlements, but no more. I'm tired of rushing to judgment. We have 30 minutes to discuss an important decision. (actually cut off after 40) Not enough time. Having read about 1000 pages of depositions, I find Penn State's only guilt is that implied and quoted from the Freeh report as if's Gospel, and we know it has been refuted by everyone except this Board. If you have not read the depositions, you should abstain or vote no until you do. Once you've read them, I believe you'll join me in voting, no thus defending our beloved Alma Mater.
Trustee Bill Oldsey
I am absolutely uncomfortable with our methods for making a decision of this magnitude today.
A 30 minute telephone conference simply does not cut it when it comes to any decision of this importance involving large sums of University money, and by the way, a decision that may well impact the potential for additional and ever escalating demands from known or presently unknown future claimants.
As Trustees, we have received no written report or formal recommendation from our litigation counsel specifically discussing options and why this settlement is the best course of action for Penn State. It may well be, but I as an individual trustee don't know that from the paucity of information that has been provided to me.
For that reason alone, I cannot support moving forward with this action and vote emphatically no!
Trustee Bob Jubelirer
I spent thirty two years in Pa. Senate and had to make many tough votes. Today is the first one since I was elected to the board last year that is in that category. Nevertheless, I cannot support this resolution and believe I am fulfilling my fiduciary duty as a trustee with a negative vote. It has been far too common to be given information with little time to digest and then be asked to vote for significant expenditures. The Freeh Report is the lynchpin upon which this resolution and other expenditures have been made. This report has never been adopted by the board but has been used as the vehicle for substantial payouts by the University. I am not able to support this just because we are a defendant with deep pockets. It surely will bring new claimants out of the woodwork regardless of whether they are legitimate. There comes a time to stand firm against this type of legal pressure, turn off the spigot and stand up for the University. I am casting a negative vote on the resolution to send a strong message that we will not be bullied anymore into paying out claims that we do not owe.
Trustee Anthony Lubrano
I rise in opposition to this Resolution.
I proudly joined this board in July, 2012. In fact, my very first meeting was July 12, 2012, a day that will live in infamy in the Penn State community. On that day, Louis Freeh released his Report, a Report that has been harshly criticized by many for its unfounded conclusions.
Of course, this body has yet to either accept or reject the findings of the Freeh Report which cost the University 8.3 million dollars. Instead, we seem to have adopted a policy of "just pay and move on."
Unfortunately, Penn State continues to pay, quite literally and figuratively, almost three years later. And today, we look to pay again.
But I say, "No more." "No more" Resolutions to approve settlements while denying Trustees full access to the source materials used to prepare the Freeh Report.
"No more" feeding at the trough of Penn State. As Trustee Lord reminds us, our policy of expedience has been an abject failure. The time has come for us to say "No more."
I hereby request that the Secretary note in the minutes that I asked Chairman Masser, through University counsel, for full access to source materials necessary to inform the exercise of my independent judgment on this Board Resolution. My request was repeatedly denied.
Put simply, without full access to this information, I am unable to exercise my independent judgment as a Trustee in this matter.
Trustee Al Lord
In cooperation with Legal Chair D'Andrea I have voluntarily recused myself from participation this meeting.
I accept there are perceived, and likely real, conflicts of interest between and among certain trustees with respect to the lawsuit filed by former Penn State President Graham Spanier which, among other things, alleges disparagement by Penn State Trustees as well as defamation of his character by Louis Freeh. I further accept that my relationship with President Spanier puts me among such potentially conflicted trustees. So that this Board of Trustees can fairly make judgments between real and perceived conflicts with Penn State's "best interests" I call upon this Board to clarify by definition what it deems Penn State's "best interests" to be with respect to each count alleged in the Complaint filed by President Spanier on March 18, 2015.
Though this vote may not be registered today, I vote NO on the proposed victim settlement(s). While previous settlements may well have been sympathetically motivated and considered legally expedient at the time, such settlements presume Penn State financial responsibility to victims. Our policy of expedience has been an abject failure. Worse, our attempt to pacify the "politically correct others" is based on the presumption that an innocent Penn State is guilty. Does our cynicism know no bounds?
Victims may be due recompense–from Sandusky not Penn State

sherrysauerwine says:
Thank you elected alumni for recognizing that this is another rush to payout without thinking about the consequences. Incredible that so important an issue could have been the subject of a thirty minute conference call but typical of the 11/11 BOT members who appear to have learned nothing from their past rash actions.
Thank you alumni elected trustees for trying to stop this rush to another payout. Incredible that such an important issue as spending more university dollars would be conducted via a 30-minute conference call. It's time to turn off the spigot. Just another rash move by the 11/11 board members as they keep throwing away PSU money.
Bill Levinson PSU B.S. '78 says:
More evidence of the incompetence and willful dereliction of fiduciary duty by Keith Masser, one of the Trustees whose (more likely than not) defamatory remarks about Graham Spanier has made Penn State a defendant in yet another lawsuit.
wlevinson says:
More proof of the incompetence and willful dereliction of fiduciary duty by Keith Masser and his cohorts.
P.J. Burgess says:
I had the opportunity today to run into BOT member Eckel. The conversation did not go well. He spoke of todays conference call and said he was appalled at the stands taken by the above elected members. Now, as I read your posts, I am convinced that those members who rushed to accept the sanctioned and bogus Freeh report, as well as throw Joe under the bus and sign off on the NCAA penalties, will never admit their wrong doing. This will never be settled until we restructure the BOT!
We don't care if Keith Eckel is appalled, or indeed anything else

I read at https://ps4rs.org/2015/04/09/alumni-elected-statements-on-apr-9-resolution/ that an alumnus claims to have spoken to Agriculture Trustee Keith Eckel after Thursday's conference call.
"I had the opportunity today to run into BOT member Eckel. The conversation did not go well. He spoke of today's conference call and said he was appalled at the stands taken by the above elected members."
Nobody cares whether Keith Eckel is appalled, amused, or anything else. The opinion of a liar—and this is what Keith Masser's deposition in the Corman-NCAA lawsuit shows Mr. Eckel to be, along with Mr. Masser and every other member of the Board in March 2012—means nothing to what the 19th and early 20th centuries would have called a gentleman or a lady, and the U.S. Military Academy still calls a gentleman or a lady; somebody who does not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.
Lying is cause for expulsion at the USMA because (1) a liar cannot command, and does not deserve, the trust, confidence, or respect of other soldiers, and (2) lying can result in loss of personnel, equipment, and/or mission. As an example, scapegoating a purportedly gay sailor for the U.S.S. Iowa turret explosion jeopardized the entire battleship fleet by diverting attention from the accident's likely root cause. In Penn State's case, scapegoating Joe Paterno (as proven below) and then lying about it caused enormous damage to the University's finances and reputation. Somebody who scapegoats any subordinate is not qualified for any position of supervisory responsibility whatsoever.
If Mr. Eckel finds this assessment offensive, I remind him of how eloquently his fellow liar Kenneth Frazier put it during his racist tirade in March 2013. "The fact of the matter is, those documents say what they say, and no amount of hand waving will ever change what those documents say." Well, here is what the documents say, and no amount of hand-waving can ever change what they say. Mr. Eckel, Mr. Frazier, Mr. Masser, Karen Peetz, and every single one of their colleagues were parties to the following statement which is still hosted at psu.edu as an official statement of the University.
http://progress.psu.edu/resource-library/story/report-of-the-board-of-trustees-concerning-nov.-9-decisions
"While Coach Paterno did his legal duty by reporting that information the next day, Sunday, March 3, to his immediate superior, the then Penn State Athletic Director Tim Curley, the Board reasonably inferred that he did not call police. We determined that his decision to do his minimum legal duty and not to do more to follow up constituted a failure of leadership by Coach Paterno. …At about 9 pm, we unanimously made the difficult decision that Coach Paterno's failure of leadership required his removal as football coach."
In other words, Mr. Eckel was party to this statement that Paterno was fired for "failure of leadership," and that phrase was repeated twice, even though Mr. Masser later testified under oath that he was fired for no reason other than to gratify public opinion. http://onwardstate.com/2015/01/19/board-chairman-still-thinks-paterno-wasnt-fired/
"The decision to remove Coach Paterno had nothing to do with what he had known, what he hadn't done. It was based upon the distraction of having him on the sidelines would have caused the university and the current football team harm. It had nothing to do with what Coach Paterno had done, or hadn't done."
Kenneth Frazier's testimony at http://av.pasenategop.com/ncaa/discovery/depositions/ken-frazier/transcripts/frazier.pdf supports Mr. Masser's, although not as explicitly. The bottom line is, however, that if "the decision to remove Coach Paterno had nothing to do with what he had known, what he hadn't done," then Paterno was not fired for "failure of leadership." This means every Trustee who was a party to the indicated statement not only scapegoated Paterno on November 9, 2011, he or she then lied about it in March 2012.
As for the settlements with Sandusky's victims, a Trustee should remember that his or her position is one of stewardship. That means one does not squander one's organization's money in a manner in which one would not spend one's own money. As a simple example, if you stay in a mid-range hotel when traveling on vacation, you do not stay in a four-star hotel when your employer is paying the bill; you spend your employer's money as you would spend your own. In this case, unless Mr. Eckel and his friends would pay their own money to people who have, at best, a nebulous claim on it, they shouldn't squander the tuition of Penn State students and the taxes of the Commonwealth in this manner. This is simply another example of what the Commonwealth Court opined was dereliction of fiduciary duty a year ago, and it reinforces Senator Yudichak's perception that personal agendas, rather than a Penn State agenda, are driving Board decisions.
In addition, Trustee McCombie pointed out, "I have not heard the perspective of our insurance companies." I cannot give legal advice but, if the insurance companies refused to pay these settlements, and left Penn State holding the bag, I would have to agree with them. The actions of the Business and Industry, Agriculture, and Governor-appointed Trustees (mistakes I hope Governor Wolf will remove soon) are similar to those of somebody who, upon peripheral involvement in a multi-vehicle crash caused by a drunk driver, tells everybody he is responsible, and his insurance company will pay the damages. I can't give legal advice, but I doubt that any court would order the insurance company to pay.
In any event, when Senator Yudichak's legislation to restructure the Board becomes law, Mr. Eckel will no longer be a problem, and the same goes of course for Mr. Eckel, Mr. Frazier, and the rest of the 11/9/2011 holdovers.

Theatrical Play and a 2-hour pilot script for mini-series available.
Based on Ethan Mordden's "Buddies Cycle" books.
Request Script
WGAW #1823823
FIRST THING YOU NEED IN NYC IS A BUDDY
Theatrical Play: Originally adapted from Ethan Mordden's books, "Buddies" (The Play) premiered in 2005 at the Celebration Theater, Los Angeles, California.
Television Mini-Series: This is an 8-part cable series event adapted from Ethan Mordden's novels. Each episode is one hour long. A 2-hour Pilot has been written and available.
BACKSTORY: Debuting as a writer in the early 1980's, Ethan Mordden quickly became one of the most celebrated American writers in modern gay literature. The New York Times Book Review, Kirkus, and Publishers Weekly have called him a master craftsman and compared him to the extraordinary likes of Oscar Wilde and Jane Austin.
His most profound writing, a collection of five books known as the "Buddies Cycle", is considered to be a seminal work of gay fiction. The novels tell the stories of a group of friends, gay men living in Manhattan between 1968 and 2005.
The books that make up the Buddies Cycle offer what may be the most influential experience of an extraordinary time and place in gay history. These books were some of the first images of a culture defining itself post Stonewall.
THE MINI-SERIES: The stories are not told in chronological order. We see the characters young in one story, older in the next story. The future, sometimes before the past. Seeing the destiny of characters we embrace and love, before their life story is told. Weaving together the fabric of these men's lives, we follow 5 main characters over a 40 year span of time. Through make-up, the same actors will play all the different time periods, ranging from 21 years to 60 years old.

Church of the Society of Jesus of Arequipa
The church of the Jesuit order is one of the oldest and most impressive in the city of Arequipa. It is admired for its baroque architecture built during the colonial era. Likewise, it has treasures of great value inside such as the carved pulpit or the Mayan altar, both covered in gold leaf. Throughout its history it had to be rebuilt due to the continuous earthquakes that hit the city. Today, it is one of the most admired religious temples in the city.

Treasures inside
Price of the visit
Schedule of the visit
The church of the Company of Jesus in the city of Arequipa is a religious temple made during the colony (late 16th century) following the baroque architecture of the time. Due to repeated earthquakes over more than 4 centuries, the building had to be rebuilt in various periods. Especially noteworthy is the beautiful decoration of its main façade, which was restored in 1698, after a violent seismic movement.
Inside, the decoration of the main altar carved in fine wood and covered with gold leaf stands out. There are the sculptures and images of characters of the Christian faith, such as San Ignacio de Loyola (founder of the order of the Society of Jesus) as well as San Francisco de Borja, Duque de Gandia and Grande de España, among others. The visit to this church takes place every day of the year. During mass hours, the visit is free.
The church is located in one of the corners of the Main Square of Arequipa, at 114 General Morán Street.
If the tourist is in the historic center of the city of Arequipa (most of the tourist hotels are there); so the best way to get to church is to walk. You just have to go to the main square of the city and walk to the corner that leads to Calle Morán.
The religious order 'La Compañía de Jesús' has existed in Peru since 1568 under the direction of San Francisco de Borja. It is the oldest in Latin America. Their evangelizing work took them to the most remote places of the colony, from the native communities of Loreto (in the famous missions of Maynas) to the main cities such as Lima, Cusco and Arequipa. They are expelled from Peru in 1767 by order of King Carlos III. Finally they return in 1871 to settle until today.
The history of the church has its origins with the founding of the city of Arequipa, on August 15, 1540, since a few years later the order of the Society of Jesus was founded by the Spanish religious Ignacio de Loyola. In 1578 began the construction of the church by Gaspar Báez, although the earthquake of 1582 destroyed the building to be rebuilt in 1590 under the command of the Jesuit Diego Felipe.
As well as many temples in the city of Arequipa, the church of the Society of Jesus suffered constant earthquakes, which is why it had to be rebuilt on several occasions, as in the case of the earthquakes of 1687, 1868 (the tower was demolished) and 1960 ( the bell tower was demolished). Likewise, like other colonial temples in the city, ashlar and other volcanic rocks were used for its construction. In the 20th century, the cloisters belonging to the church were sold and some repairs were carried out to adopt its current form. In 1972, the church was declared a Historic Monument of Peru.
The church has a baroque architecture with mestizo characteristics typical of the region. It has a main floor in the shape of a cross and divided into three naves. The body is also made up of several side chapels, a transept and a dome on pendentives.
The facade is the most remarkable structure of the church. It is one of the best masterpieces of colonial baroque decoration. Use the relief on the surface portraying figures of animals, plants as well as elements of the original nature of the Andean culture. At the top, the sculpture of the archangel San Miguel stands out, sculpted in ashlar.
The interior of the church has several carvings and relics with religious motifs. The main pulpit carved and covered in sheets of gold leaf stands out. The set of three altarpieces carved and covered in gold sheets as well as figures of Andean and colonial imagery.
The main altar made of cedar, oak and willow, in a baroque style and decorated entirely in gold leaf, houses up to 66 images of saints and virgins such as Saint Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Order of the Society of Jesus. In its center there is an embossed silver tabernacle, the work of the Cusco artist Pedro Gutiérrez.
In addition to the main altarpiece, there are other sides. The first is called the 'Altarpiece of the founders' where sculptures and images of the founders of religious orders are observed. The second is the 'Altarpiece of the Crucified Christ' where images of the Virgin and some apostles are shown.
Finally, there are relics of gold and silver as well as canvases from the colonial era made by the 'Cusco school of art'. Its immense dome bears the images of eight saints. European and Peruvian artists participated in the decoration of the church.
The entrance to the church is free for all the public. There are certain areas of the church that do have a cost of 20 Peruvian soles per tourist.
The visit to the church of the Company of Jesus is included in the 'Arequipa City Tour', which lasts half a day and also includes a visit to the Yanahuara viewpoint, Carmen Alto, the Cathedral, the portals and the monastery of Santa Catalina. The cost of the service is approximately 65 Peruvian soles per tourist.
The visiting hours to the church are from Monday to Sunday from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.
Ashlar stone is the main material used for the construction of the church of the Society of Jesus as well as other temples and palaces in the city of Arequipa. There is even a tour called 'The sillar route'. This white-looking volcanic stone was the cause of this region being called 'White City'.
The temple of the Society of Jesus is a representative monument of the so-called 'Arequipa school' of architecture. His influence served for the construction of the churches of Cayma, Paucarpata, Yanahuara, Characato and even temples in the regions of Puno and Bolivia.
For a more complete visit to the church, it is advisable to hire the services of a tour guide. You can hire one at the door of the church. Another option is to hire the service of a 'City tour Arequipa', which already includes the tour guide service.
If you like colonial temples, in addition to the church of the Society of Jesus; During your visit to the city of Arequipa you can visit the Santa Catalina monastery (considered the colonial jewel of the city), the Cathedral (the most important religious temple in Arequipa) as well as the church of La Merced (another of the most famous monuments from the city).

The Cathedral of Arequipa exhibits numerous colonial treasures such as the marble high altar, the Belgian organ, the paintings of Francisco Laso and much more.

Build-A-Bear will debut with a stuffed animal Baby Yoda
By drbyosIn EntertainmentPosted January 14, 2020 0 Comment(s)
Baby Yoda comes to Build-A-Bear.
Toys with the instantly popular "The Mandalorian" character have been in great demand since the show debuted at Disney Plus in November. A Funko Baby Yoda toy quickly became a top-selling action figure on Amazon in early December, although customers who preordered the toy will not receive it until May.
"I am excited to share that we will be one of the first companies to provide the digital and Internet phenomenon, which has a higher trend than all presidential candidates combined," said Build-A-Bear CEO Sharon Price John during a Tuesday presentation at The ICR Conference in Orlando, Florida.
"Now we will have The Child, also known as Baby Yoda," John added.

Holding a Baby Yoda stuffed animal to show the public, John said Baby Yoda would be available at Build-A-Bear workshops in the coming months.
"Once again, it's great to be in business with the best partners in its class," said John, adding that Build-A-Bear, Disney and Lucasfilm worked quickly to realize the character of Baby Yoda.
"We started this process almost with the first episode," said John.
High profile partnerships are crucial to the Build-A-Bear business. John said on Tuesday that, although historically much of the Build-A-Bear business has been aimed at children, almost half of its sales are now items intended for preteens, teenagers and adults. John added that the chain has experienced significant growth in adults who buy online and look for products produced in partnership with companies such as Disney, Lucasfilm and Warner Bros.

The Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) offers trainings on subjects like resume writing, navigating impromptu interviews, crafting "the elevator pitch", and finding hidden job markets.
Sixteen people attended the training session at the Navajo Department of Workforce Development in Chinle, including Patricia Tso, a participant living an hour away who was determined to attend, and one non-participant who was intrigued by our presentation topics.
Participants Maxine Nez and Harvey Baker had many questions, while host agency supervisor Velma Yazzie assisted with translations.
At the Goodwill Career Center in Phoenix, SCSEP participants Azar Hakami, Martha Vasquez, John Garza, Jesus Zamarron, and Dianne Malone were advised of the many advantages of Goodwill's services by host agency partner Troy Maskell.
The trip was a wonderful reminder that our program's success depends on the help of great partners like Goodwill, and pueblo workforce centers like the Navajo Department of Workforce Development.

Through cleansing you will see that food is the most powerful tool for healing an achy body. If fuels your muscles, tissues, organs and bones. When you change your food for the better you will be amazed at how quickly you will feel better. Just like Mary Beth.
