This study rests on the assumption that the methods of science embodied in the general canons of the scientific enterprise (particularly in relation to theory formulation and validation) constitute the realm of theoretical practice from which to develop a methodological and theoretical position relevant to the phenomenon of social conflict.
Volbrecht, G. 1973. Social conflict : towards a methodological and theoretical position. University of Cape Town.


Over the last few weeks there's been much comment and speculation as to whether the government is going to meet its manifesto target of a million new homes by 2020 (it won't) and what the new occupants of No 10 and Marsham St are going to do to encourage an increase in the housing supply (not a clue).
Which got me thinking. As most of you will know house building has cranked up quite a gear to around 155,000 or 171,000 units if you include conversions. Brexit may dent that figure in the short term but the long term trajectory is certainly looking more positive.
Over the last five years* that we have figures for, housing starts look to be a little over the half a million mark with conversions taking us well over.
What puzzles me and hence the question is this; if we had built everything or even just 80 to 90% of everything local planning authorities in England alone had given permission for in the same period we would be getting very close to hitting the Government's target. For four of the last five years, local government has given planning permission for almost twice the amount of housing that was actually built that same year.
At this point I'm sure many readers will be getting very hot under the collar and hurrumphing about duplicate applications for the same site, that I'm not allowing for the lengthy period large sites often take to agree the final details of the approval let alone be built etc etc. Even allowing for those factors, my premise still stands; local government looks to be delivering much of what is being asked of it yet we're still way off meeting the government's overall target.
So we come to my question: Why the huge differential when most reasonably educated people would assume if you've gone through the often torturous and expensive process of the planning process, why do almost half of applications fail to develop into reality? Speculative applications will account for some, detailed negotiations will eventually translate into housing starts and be counted in a later year, duplicate applications usually eventually get built. So what accounts for the discrepancy? And what needs to change so more permissions translate into actual houses?
* Figures are based on HBF statistics and go up to the end of 2014 calendar year.

The Privacy Advisor | Idaho AG Talks Breach Notification, His Role as Privacy Enforcer Related reading: Notes from the Asia-Pacific region, 21 Jan. 2022
Idaho AG Talks Breach Notification, His Role as Privacy Enforcer
schedule Oct 28, 2014
Divonne Smoyer, CIPP/US	IAPP Member Contributor
Frederick Lah	Nonmember Contributor
Attorney General (AG) Lawrence Wasden is Idaho's longest-serving AG, having served since his election in 2002.
Wasden has been a strong advocate of consumer protection issues related to privacy, such as marketing scams and Internet safety, particularly with respect to teens and children. He also has served as president of both the National Association of Attorneys General (NAAG), the nonpartisan professional association for state AGs, as well as the chair of the Conference of Western Attorneys General (CWAG), an educational association focusing on legal and policy issues of importance to states in the western U.S.
In this interview, Wasden shares his views on the increased focus by state AGs on privacy enforcement and regulation as well as the changing landscape in data breach notification laws.
Idaho Attorney General Lawrence Wasden
The Privacy Advisor: At a July conference of CWAG, Federal Trade Commissioner Julie Brill, who is a former consumer protection assistant AG in the states of Vermont and North Carolina with very strong ties to the AG community, issued a challenge to AGs to become more active in the area of privacy. While the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) traditionally has been the primary privacy enforcement agency in the U.S., Brill encouraged AGs to collaborate with the FTC and cooperate with each other on privacy investigations consistent with the FTC's regulatory and enforcement efforts. Since then, there have been several multistate investigations in connection with high-profile retail data breaches. In addition, we've seen the Connecticut AG request meetings with several high-tech companies to discuss the privacy implications of their new products. Do you think this represents a shift in approach signaling that the states are getting more involved in privacy regulation or perhaps even rival the FTC's authority in the area of privacy?
Wasden: I am not sure that this is a shift, as much as reaction to a problem that is concerning more of our citizens and businesses. Generally, state AGs are elected. The constituents of AGs are directly impacted and concerned by data breaches. Based on these concerns, AGs get involved in the areas that their constituents are most concerned about, which means privacy and data breach issues are receiving increased attention and focus. To me, it represents a very natural evolution within both the legal landscape and constituent relations. One thing is fairly certain, states can generally move much more quickly than the federal government in addressing these issues. The other aspect, and I think that this might be particularly appealing to our federal partners, is that by cooperating, the FTC and states have the ability to tap a broad array of sophisticated legal talent nationwide. This is not a matter of AGs seeking to "rival" the FTC's authority. The FTC has the authority granted to it by Congress and the AGs have the authority granted to them by their legislatures, and both will endeavor to fulfill that assigned duty. Over the years, we've learned that cooperative work and assistance provides good results for our constituents.
The Privacy Advisor: A number of states have strengthened their data breach notification laws over the past year as well. Both Vermont and Florida added time limitations in their laws for when notification must be provided to individuals and to the AG's office. Florida and California have expanded the definition of personal information. Iowa also amended its law to cover paper documents. Is Idaho considering amendments to its data breach notification law as well?
Wasden: I am not sure what Idaho is considering for its 2015 session, but the 2014 session saw the introduction of eight pieces of privacy-related legislation. The big issues in 2014 were not centered around data breaches but instead access to private data. For example, Idaho enacted legislation restricting access to prescription databases (HB 348) and student data (SB 1372). It is very likely that legislation will be introduced related to data breaches in the upcoming session, particularly based on the recent announcements by major retailers. To me, it is important that businesses interact early and often with those introducing the legislation to ensure what is proposed reflects achievable improvements and remedies for businesses and constituents.
The Privacy Advisor: On the subject of data breach notification laws, Kentucky recently became the 47th state to enact such a law. With each of the state data breach notification laws slightly different from the next, do you think we need a uniform, federal standard in this area?
Wasden: I am reluctant to recommend a federal solution over a state solution. Some of the best consumer legislation, such as the Do-Not-Call list, came as the result of state-enacted legislation. I understand that these laws have differences, but those differences enable us to better learn what works and what does not. Consistent with this approach, many state AGs have developed working relationships within the business community that enable efficient problem-solving in these areas. Those relationships equate to trust between the AG, his or her constituents and the business community, affirming the importance of state-level problem solving in these areas.
To me, then, the better approach is to review the data breach laws, identify the best aspects of the existing laws and then proceed to amend the state laws so that they are more homogenous. For example, a consistent notification process from state to state seems practical, particularly since, in this day and age, it is likely that a breach will affect consumers in more than one state. To assist in this effort, it may be worthwhile to discuss the formation of a working group within NAAG comprised of state AG representatives and industry representatives to identify best practices, model legislation and amendments designed to achieve consistency.
The Privacy Advisor: In 2008, you created the Idaho Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force. The task force is focused on the online safety of teens and children and provides useful tips on web surfing, wireless network security and online gaming. Children's online privacy typically has been regulated and enforced on the federal level under the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). Recently, though, we've seen a few states become increasingly aggressive in their focus on children's online privacy. Both New Jersey and Maryland have brought enforcement actions against companies over their alleged COPPA violations. California's "Eraser Button" law, which requires websites to allow those under 18 to remove postings from their website, was recently passed and goes into effect in 2015. Given your state's focus on children's privacy and safety, is Idaho contemplating similar actions or legislation?
Wasden: As I indicated above, one of the big issues in Idaho last year was student data security. I don't think that concern is going to go away. That being said, I don't know that measures introduced in New Jersey, California or Maryland are likely to gain traction in Idaho. My office's efforts have been focused on educating parents and teens with regard to responsible use of social networking. In essence, making good decisions or choices with regard to their participation and posting within these forums. That being said, I think that one of the best steps that a social media or networking business can take is to be proactive in allowing teens and their parents the ability to remove and shut down posts and information. In other words, take steps that make this legislation unnecessary. Social network participation should not be the "Scarlet Letter" of our children's teenage years.
The Privacy Advisor: Your office regularly warns consumers about the various collection and billing scams conducted over the telephone and by email. Some of these scams involve the perpetrators posing as legitimate Idaho businesses. What types of responsive measures would you advise businesses to take in the event their names are ever pulled into one of these schemes? How important is it that businesses and state regulators cooperate in their response efforts?
Wasden: The best recommendation I can make is for the business to immediately demand that the offending entity cease and desist their efforts. It is also helpful to contact and copy the appropriate private and public entities to assist in shutting down the offending entity. For example, the Better Business Bureau, the chamber of commerce and the consumer protection division of an AG's office can all offer assistance in matters such as this. You may even want to ask for the issuance of a consumer alert.

That'll teach you to call people "fat." LOL. Gotta be careful with that negative energy...sometimes it comes right back to bite you.
Seriously though, I'm glad that Jenny is okay and that you didn't get side swiped by a bus full of "healthy" people. That sounds like it was a bit scary.


If you like working with metal or solder, then you know that having a high-quality soldering iron is a must to ensure that you get the best results. Whether you like to do it for fun or you do it for more practical reasons, the right iron can make all the difference.
Not only does it have to be reliable, but it has to provide you with the best options so you can do the job well every time.
Also, the best soldering irons will provide extra safety precautions and features so that you never have to worry about burning yourself or damaging your materials.
Today we'll be looking at some of the best soldering irons on the market, as well as go over the most important considerations you should have when making your decision.
The important thing is that you get the right tool for the job, so you have to make sure that your iron can handle whatever it is that you do. With that in mind, let's see what these models can do for you.
While most soldering irons consist of the pencil tip and perhaps a charging or holding station, this model from Aoyue comes with everything you could need to get any job done.
Whether you're working on electronics or craft projects, this rework station comes with the iron, a hot air blower, a vacuum for picking up small pieces, and a smoke absorber so that you never have to worry about fumes. Simply put, this is the ultimate soldering system.
What we like most is the power of the iron itself. While many models have a wattage of about 40-60, this comes with 70 watts of heating power, making it much more reliable and versatile than the competition.
That does mean that you will need to plug into a 220-volt outlet to get the full temperature range, but if you are serious about soldering that shouldn't be a problem.
The control panel is also excellent as it uses solid state knobs that click when you move them so that you can get precise measurements when adjusting the temperature or operating the hot air blower. Best of all, it has a digital readout of everything so that you can make sure that you're at the right spot each time.
Overall, this rework station is built for heavy duty soldering enthusiasts or professionals who need extra features and accessories to get the job done.
For most soldering enthusiasts, the name Weller is synonymous with quality. For decades this brand has been the gold standard of soldering irons and accessories, and the WESD51 is no exception.
While it doesn't come with all of the added features of the Aoyue above, it has everything you need for simple soldering jobs.
The device comes with a fifty-watt pencil, a holder with a cleaning sponge, and a control unit to set the temperature. At fifty watts you can adjust the heat between 350 and 850 degrees Fahrenheit, which is more than enough for any job.
Best of all, if you prefer Celsius instead you can switch back and forth easily. The knob control is remarkably simple yet accurate, and the digital display shows you the exact temperature every time.
Overall, if you need a simple and elegant soldering iron, this one will be a fantastic buy.
Much like the WESD51 above, this soldering station from Hakko is designed with simplicity and elegance in mind. Not only that, but it's much more compact so that you can fit it almost anywhere, regardless of how much (or how little) workspace you have.
While the size and dimensions of the station are great, what makes this unit shine is the quality of the tip and the heating element.
It is a seventy-watt iron, which gives you much better options as far as temperature control and heating. Not only will it get to temp faster than most other models, but it will cool off much quicker as well. This will help extend its life by ensuring that the internal components won't get overheated.
The only setback is the control system. While a button is easy and convenient, it takes much longer to get to your desired temperature than it would with a knob. Nonetheless, you get used to it, so it shouldn't be a dealbreaker.
Overall, this is a fantastic low-key soldering iron that can deliver exceptional results.
When it comes to soldering jobs, you sometimes want something that is both powerful and versatile.
While adjusting the temperature can help you get a wider range of applications, the fact is that you will need a variety of tips to use in different situations. Fortunately, this soldering station from Yihua delivers.
First of all, this unit comes with a powerful 75-watt soldering pencil and a durable control station.
The station has a digital readout and uses buttons to increase or decrease the temperature. We prefer knobs ourselves, but these buttons are large and respond well to quick pushes.
Where this model really shines, however, is that it comes with ten different soldering heads as well as a spool of wire so that you don't have to get accessory kits to go along with it.
Best of all, it has spaces in the holder for each tip so that you won't lose them either. Overall, the performance is reliable, and the extra tips are a huge bonus.
Next, we have another all-in-one soldering station that gives you not only a high-quality pencil and control box but an additional ten tips and a spool of soldering wire as well. This system from Aoyue gives you everything you need to get almost any job done.
When talking about performance, this device comes with a robust 60-watt pencil with a digital control panel.
As with most modern stations, you adjust using buttons instead of a knob, but what we really like is that you can program preset options so that you don't have to set your temperature each time you turn it on.
Another great feature of this station is that it detects vibration when you pick up the pencil, meaning that it turns on and off automatically. Not only that, but you can program a sleep timer so that you can make sure that it will never activate while you're not around.
This way you can simply pick it up, wait for it to get to temp, and then start working. Overall, this system makes it as easy as possible.
If you liked the Aoyue Rework Station above but felt that that was too much for one system, then this model from Zeny may be a better choice for you. Unlike the other device, this one comes with only a soldering pencil and a hot air blower.
While a smoke absorber and vacuum can be nice to have, most of the time they will get in the way, which is why this unit can be a better option.
What we like most about this station is the control panel. We've already talked about the benefit of using solid state knobs instead of buttons, and fortunately, this machine has knobs to control everything.
Both the blower and the pencil have a temperature range of 100-480 degrees Fahrenheit, and the device even has holders for both. This means that when you're moving it from place to place, you can keep it all together without having to worry about the blower dragging behind.
To make it even easier, it comes with a flexible carry handle. Overall, if you want a station with versatility, this is a fantastic find.
If you are looking for a soldering iron that is both simple but comes with some extra cool features, then this model from X-Tronic is a fabulous choice.
While it is a relatively bare-bones setup, it does have some incredible bonuses that set it above the competition. First of all, the iron itself is really awesome. With 75 watts of power and a temperature range of 200-480 degrees Fahrenheit, you can do a lot with it. The handle is also rubberized and designed to be easier to hold so that you can work longer without fatigue.
What we like most about this unit though is the base. It has a single control knob for adjusting the temperature, and it has a digital readout so you can be precise. Best of all, it has two cleaning stations (a sponge and brass wire), so you can keep your tips in pristine condition.
Finally, there is a wire holder on the other side so that you can keep your extra solder close at hand without having to store it separately. Overall, this device is one of the best single piece soldering irons we've seen.
Next, we are taking it back with a soldering station that is fresh from the days of yesteryear. Instead of sleek digital displays and microchips, this iron uses old-fashioned wattage to give you the temperature you need.
So, if you're looking for something reliable and built to last, this can be a great option.
To adjust the temperature, there is a single control knob that moves between five and forty watts of power. This is certainly not as precise as a digital readout, but it is simple and effective.
Other than the knob, you get a power indicator light, a solid steel holder, and a cleaning sponge. This is one of the simplest and easiest to use soldering irons you can find.
Our final stop is this station from Sywon. What sets this one apart from the rest is that it has a small and compact control box.
While some of these units have a large device that can weigh several pounds, this has a much easier to use box that has a twisting knob to control the temperature and an on/off switch. Best of all, you get extra long power and soldering cords that enable you to work much more freely than with other units. The cords are also made of silicone so that they don't kink or bend.
Other than the compact control box, this iron comes with an incredible 60-watt pencil and a durable plastic holder. The holder also comes with a cleaning sponge so that you can make sure that your tip stays in pristine condition.
The other thing we like about the tip is that it comes with ventilation holes to prevent overheating and maintain a constant temperature.
First and foremost, the watts of your iron will tell you how well it can hold up to the kinds of jobs you're doing. While you may have noticed that many irons have the same temperature range with different wattage, the ones that are higher (70 instead of 60, for example), will hold up longer and won't break down as easily.
Not only that, but they will heat up much faster than those with a lower number. For high powered jobs, get something at 70 watts or above, for medium jobs, you will want something between 50-65.
This is the next most important feature as it will dictate how well you can work. We highly recommend that you get a control box with solid state knobs instead of buttons. Knobs are so much easier to control and will get you to the right temperature much faster than having to press a button a dozen or more times.
Plus, you get the feeling of the click with a knob, which tells you when it's on and off.
The other thing to look for is a digital display that shows what temperature you're at. If you don't have this, then you can't know if you're at the right level which will affect your work. Some older units use wattage as a means of temperature adjustment, but they are far from precise, so we don't really recommend them unless you are just a casual soldering enthusiast.
Finally, the tip will help ensure that you can do the right job as it will enable you to work on a variety of projects. Some irons will come with bonus tips to help you get started, so that can be a huge benefit.
As far as the base, make sure that it feels comfortable in your hand and isn't too heavy that you have to grip it hard. You should be able to move it precisely with minimal effort; otherwise, you will get cramps and fatigue much faster.
After looking through these best soldering irons, we have to say that our top two picks are the X-Tronic and the Zeny 2-in-1. We like the simple design and features of the X-Tronic, as well as the added bonuses that come with the device.
However, if you want something a bit more deluxe, then the Aoyue is a perfect example of a rework station that gives you extra functionality without reducing the quality of your work.


• Printed on high quality photographic paper Hahnemuhle.
Sukhothai Historical Park is the most impressive set of ruins in Thailand. This park was included in the UNESCO world heritage list in 1991.
Many of the temples present date back to around 800 years ago and are in a truly splendid natural environment.
The park is divided into 5 zones and, although some of the most famous temples and palaces are located within the central area, there are many gems to be discovered in other areas… if you have the time and the will to explore with a bicycle. Infact it is forbidden to go around the park with motor vehicles.
Unlike other historical parks in South East Asia, in Sukhothai you never feel like in assaulted by tourists. The Historical Park covers a wider area than one might expect and visitors have the opportunity to disperse in various places, without ever being intrusive.
Sukhothai Historical Park is one of my favorite places in Thailand, here I really took many photographs, returning several times over the years.
The photo here proposed tells one of my favorite place of the Park.
While I was trying to write at best with the light, to bring out the reflection of the trees on the water mirror, a great stork passed, so I snapped.
The result is now on sale in the 100×67 cm format, printed on high quality Hahnemuhle photographic paper.


Who are the Darksiders? A very short yet memorable appearance at the end of A Conclave of Shadows has had fans asking me for more information on this group. While I can't reveal everything about them, they are after all in the final book of the series, The Order of the Fallen, I can give you a bit more information.
A man stepped out, his skin white, almost ghostly, next to black clothes that hugged his taut body. Jet black hair was cut close to his head and his eyes were the color of fresh spilled blood. He glanced around the room and whenever his eyes fell on someone, they turned away from him.
"I'm Joseph Quell of The Darksiders and I answer the call of the Conclave." He nodded to Mrs. Grey, and then stood silently waiting.
Perhaps most important they are not a lost race of the Old Kind. They are much like has been revealed about Merric (keeping it quiet so as not to spoil anything for readers who haven't gotten that far), something else entirely. The universe of the Old Kind is filled with numerous races that have abilities or powers as some would say. I always liked to drop hints about that throughout the series. The Hellions are another example of a race of beings who are not Old Kind, yet have unique powers.
The Darksiders are going to feature in the next book and I do have a few story ideas about them outside of that as well. They do have gifts and yes some striking similarities to beings of myth and legend. Which ones I would leave to your imagination until the next book and you're more able to fully understand them.
I will say Joseph Quell has a very interesting story some of which will be explored further in the next book. I am so not done with this character yet. He also already has some connections to characters you will recognize, remember that. Perhaps if I keep having people ask me about them I will do a short story or novella on them. Let me know what you think below.


Pro-life undercover investigator David Daleiden won a victory in court this week against the University of Washington after researchers who use aborted baby body parts asked for key information to be redacted from public records.
Last year, Daleiden requested public records from the taxpayer-funded university about its use of aborted baby body parts in research and its relationship with the Planned Parenthood abortion chain.
However, the university and several employees of the University of Washington Birth Defects Research Laboratory sued to block certain information from the records, claiming they would "likely face threats, harassment and violence" if information about their work was disclosed to the public.
Fox News reports a U.S. court of appeals ruled in Daleiden's favor this week, reversing a lower court decision to block information from the public records.
Thomas More Society Special Counsel Peter Breen, who argued the appeal, told Fox News that the decision is a victory for taxpayers who deserve to know how their money is being used.
Breen explained: "[Daleiden] asked that names and personal contact info be redacted from the records, but the abortion advocates and government employees pressed for full censorship, even of entity names, job titles and departments within the university. Such heavy redactions render these public documents useless for investigative purposes.
"The Court of Appeals, by reversing this decision and remanding this case back to district court, has prevented a serious threat to the public's right to know how their tax dollars are being spent," Breen continued.
The Family Policy Institute of Washington also requested public records from the university pertaining to its use of aborted babies' body parts in research.
"We know that Planned Parenthood and the University of Washington have a relationship," Joseph Backholm, a spokesman for the Washington pro-life group, told NBC K5 last year. "What are the invoices? What are the contracts?
This information is vital as it could reveal the amount of money exchanged between the university lab and Planned Parenthood of Greater Washington & North Idaho (PPGWNI), Daleiden said previously. The documentation could show if there were any additional costs for the abortion clinics, and if Planned Parenthood was reimbursed by the lab. It also could show if any abortion procedures were changed to procure more valuable body parts.
The Washington state program is a key component of the abortion group's aborted baby parts transactions. In October 2015, Planned Parenthood CEO Cecile Richards sent a letter to director of the National Institutes of Health, Dr. Francis Collins, after Daleiden and the Center for Medical Progress released the first undercover videos. In the letter, she stated that all Planned Parenthood affiliates would henceforth imitate the PPGWNI model and not receive any payment for the provided baby parts.
However, it is unclear what the Washington state affiliate's model is.
As Daleiden pointed out, if the abortion business does not have anything to hide, it would not need to conceal documentation. He emphasized that he is not asking for individuals' names or other personal information.
"They have recruited eight anonymous plaintiffs to assert–entirely falsely–that my public records request seeks the personal contact information of UW, Planned Parenthood, and other associated employees. My public records request nowhere seeks any one individual contact information whatsoever," Daleiden said previously.
The communist philosophy of Antifa is evil. So is the violence of Antifa.

Greek Myth and Religion (1)

Keywords: genre x
careers, poetic, Latin
Joseph Farrell
The idea that a writer's works form the record of a clearly defined career is a familiar but relatively understudied aspect of ancient literary history. In Greek literature, relevant motifs appear already in Homer (in the Iliad, Achilles' self-referential singing of klea andron (9.189) in combination with Telemachus's defense of Phemius's novel, post-Iliadic theme in the Odyssey (1.345–352), and Hesiod (initiated by the Muses at Theogony 22–34 and at Works and Days 650–662 previously victorious—with Theogony?—in a singing contest at the funeral games of Amphidamas). But thinkers of the archaic and classical periods generally considered a poet's work in a single genre as an expression of his immanent character, and not as the result of a career choice. Beginning with Thucydides and Xenophon, however, retired military men and politicians establish a normative career pattern in the genre of history. But in the Hellenistic period, as poets cultivate expertise in many genres (polyeideia), the career motif begins to come in to view.
folktale
William Hansen
Folktales are traditional fictional stories. Unlike works of original literary fiction, they are normally anonymous narratives that have been transmitted from one teller to another over an uncertain period of time, and have been shaped by multiple narrators into the form and style that are characteristic of oral narratives. The transmission of traditional tales is predominantly oral, but in literate societies such as Greece and Rome, transmission also takes place via written works.
"Folktale" is an umbrella term for a number of subgenres: the wonder tale (commonly known as the fairytale), the religious tale, the novella, the humorous tale (with its subforms the joke and the tall tale), the animal tale, and the fable. Since there was no ancient notion of folktales as such, no compilation of folktales exists from antiquity—only compilations of particular genres of folktales such as the fable and the joke.
Unlike myths and legends, folktales are narrative fictions, make no serious claim to historicity, and are not ordinarily accorded credence. They differ from myths and especially from legends in their handling of the supernatural.

Poland's Chief Rabbi Sides With Chabad Shliach in Shul Dispute
YeshivaWorldNews and CrownHeights.info
Chief Rabbi of Poland, Rabbi Mordechai Sedrick, has come out in support of Chabad Shliach Rav Mordechai Gurary in a machlokes surrounding a Shul in Krakow.
Rav Sedrick, a member of the Conference of European Rabbis and Chief Rabbi of Poland, has come out in support of Rabbi Mordechai Gurary regarding the Jewish Religious Community of Krakow, known as Gmina, ousting him and the mispallalim from the shul he was renting. According to Rabbi Gurary, he has a ten-year lease with an automatic renewal option, but community leaders decided to oust him by changing the locks of the Isaac Shul and bringing in local thugs to keep them out.
According to Times of Israel, worshipers at the synagogue claim that the rent had been hiked 1,000% despite the lease.
Rabbi Sedrick sent a letter to the head of the local Jewish community, Tadeusz Jakubowicz, asking him to refrain from ousting Rabbi Gurary and his tzibur from the shul.
"We have known each other for decades. We both know that the task of a Jewish community is to protect, enhance and deepen Jewish life. That is the essential responsibility of every Jewish community, its core value.
"We have a situation in Kraków in which the Gmina has become the heir of Jewish communal property and therefore is responsible and obligated to use these properties to enrich Jewish life and observance in Kraków and not to treat them as private properties, only concerned with maximizing profit.
"The Izaak Shul is the one place in Kraków with a steady daily minyan. The one place in Kraków where Jews can come every day to study Torah and Yiddishkeit. The activities of Rabbi Gurari and Rabbi Baumol are filled with Torah learning and Jewish values.
"Thanks to them and to many others, the Izaak Shul is fulfilling the responsibility of our Jewish community in Kraków. This should be supported and applauded.
"Instead, the electricity was cut off and then the water was cut off. And this morning, armed, masked guards were posted to prevent Jews from attending the morning minyan. No matter what the nature of the dispute is, I call upon the Gmina to fulfill the most elemental responsibility of every Jewish community —open the doors of the synagogue and allow Jews to pray to God.
"Please learn from this week's Parsha of Korach that we must always find a way to support each other and to never to work against each other."
The Conference of European Rabbis announced it is joining in, supporting the position of Rabbi Sedrick. The Conference calls on the community leaders to refrain from the "Chilul Hashem" and to "immediately open the doors and the shul to the rabbonim, Rav Baum and Rav Guraryeh, to permit them to continue their work and limud Torah.

If you happen to be over 16 years old, and still have a kitchen like this at the college dorm, do your roommates a favor and click on the link to read the article.
Tidy individuals have shiny, clean kitchens no matter how busy they might be throughout the day. How difficult is it to place the dishes in the dishwasher, right? Aside from the fact that you wouldn't want a stinky place to live in, you sure as hell don't want to get sick because you let the potatoes rot in the corner.
…Simply because you no longer have clean glasses. This is just insane! It doesn't take more than 5 minutes to clean a glass for you to use anyway.
You may be in a hurry or simply lazy, that's why your first option to use as a storage solution or trash can is the cabinet under the sink. Start acting like an adult and organize your cabinets before it becomes too much to handle.
When you're good at organizing, you should know better than to place a small amount of food in large Tupperwares simply because you couldn't find the right container size. It's even worse when you use aluminum foil in exchange for a lost lid.
Does this even need an explanation? If you know what's healthy for you, then you would have thrown out the freezer-burned ice cream tub months ago already.
Okay, so sometimes it's inevitable to leave unclean dishes on the sink. But if it starts to look like Jenga tower, and glasses are perched precariously on top of each other, it's high time that you start doing the dishes.
This is totally unsafe. Start acting like an adult and stop waving a wet towel in front of the fire alarm just to make it stop.
They can easily rot and spoil even when kept inside the fridge. It would be best to buy what you only need to consume on a daily basis to keep your food fresh and crisp.
Again, this is a big no-no. Every kitchen should have one.
The right way is always done in the sink. If you're lazy, you would use the microwave, or even worse, your mouth.
Aside from collecting dust, they can also collect bacteria. What is even worse is that when you buy them but don't even use them at all that they end up as expired bottles of condiments in your fridge or cupboard.
How hard is it to throw them in the trash can anyway?
What good are the other pans if you only use just one to cook three meals in it?
If you know that you won't be eating that much potatoes in a week, don't buy a big basket of them from the grocery.
There's a reason you use certain types of cheeses for certain types of food. Unless you really just have a weird palate, Parmesan is never used for a burrito.
A pan is used to scramble eggs. But if you used it yesterday and left it with the unclean dishes in the sink, then your normal substitute would be the pot, right? Wrong.
Snoring is irritating. Be kind to your sleep partner and try these easy solutions to lessen or hopefully stop you from snoring.
About 45% of adults snore and it is a nuisance not just to your partner, but also for your health. Snoring decreases the quality of your sleep and is a potential risk for heart disease.
Ever wondered what it feels like to live inside a shoe? Or a toilet shaped home? We have the world's weirdest houses just for you.
Each homeowner has their own dream home designed in their minds even before it is drawn on paper and then constructed. A lot of considerations are taken into account before finally starting on the design and building of the house.
Apart from the number of rooms, color scheme and the personality of the owner, there's the overall aesthetic, too, the way the owner wants it to be. Never mind if to others it may seem a bit off.
This House May Be Tiny But Its Interiors Are Mind-Blowing!
You will love this tiny house!
Owning a house is a kind of investment people reconsider over and over again. The reason for that is because once you commit to it, it will become a long term investment. You will somewhat become a slave that you will have to work for the rest of your life so that you can pay off the whole amount plus the interest of your new home.
Nevertheless, the feeling of owning your own house is incomparable. It gives you a sense pride that you have finally taken a big step towards your independence from your parents.

Recognize a statistical question as one that anticipates variability in the data related to the question and accounts for it in the answers. For example, "How old am I?" is not a statistical question, but "How old are the students in my school?" is a statistical question because one anticipates variability in students' ages.
Understand that a set of data collected to answer a statistical question has a distribution which can be described by its center, spread, and overall shape.
Recognize that a measure of center for a numerical data set summarizes all of its values with a single number, while a measure of variation describes how its values vary with a single number.
Display numerical data in plots on a number line, including dot plots, histograms, and box plots.
Summarize numerical data sets in relation to their context, such as by:
