Book Review: The Girl From Human Street
Pamela Rothstein
The Girl From Human Street by Roger Cohen, published in 2015.
In November, 2009, New York Times columnist Roger Cohen titled his column "A Jew in England." It describes his time as a student during the late 1960's at Westminster, a leading British private school. Cohen related being "occasionally taunted as a 'Yid'—not a bad way to forge a proud Jewish identity as a nonreligious Jew." Five years later, he devoted an essay to his mother's treatment for depression in an English sanatorium: "My mother was a woman hollowed out like a tree struck by lightning. I wanted to know why." Halfway through the column, a passage made me pause: "My re-encounter with my mother involved painstaking negotiation with an archivist. At last I was presented with the weighty register for female patients. Entries are written with fountain pen in cursive script. In columns across the page my mother is identified. "Name: June Bernice COHEN. Ref Number: 9413. Age: 29. Marital Status: Married. Religion: JEW."
"I stared at her age—so young—and at the capitalized entry under religion: "JEW." The noun form has a weight the adjective, Jewish, lacks. It seems loaded with a monosyllabic distaste, which was redoubled by the strange use of the uppercase. June was not religious. She is the youngest on the page. She is also the only non-Christian."
This struck me as so intimate, so poignant for a journalist from whom I had long expected and received eloquence, insight, and compassion. Cohen ended the column with his characteristic flair for a parting punch, his words weighted with emotion. "The hidden hurts most. Mental illness is still too clouded in taboo. It took me a long time to find where my mother disappeared to. Knowledge in itself resolves nothing, but it helps. Acceptance—it comes down to that. This is how I came to this point, and to this place, by this looping road, from such anguish, and I am still alive and full of hope."
During those five years, Cohen undertook a deeply personal journey. What else, I wondered, did he encounter on that road from anguish to hope, and what would emerge from his journey. The answer has arrived in The Girl From Human Street: Ghosts of Memory in a Jewish Family (Knopf, January 2015). This brave, at times heartbreaking memoir eloquently tells of Cohen's mother's suicidal depression and traces his family's roots in Lithuania and its displacement to South Africa, England, Israel, Italy, and the United States. But Cohen's canvas is far larger. Through his own family's story, this insightful and thought-provoking journalist confronts broader questions of Jewish history and identity, challenging himself and the reader to confront them head on. What is the lasting force of the Holocaust in sustaining or creating Jewish identity? At what cost do we forget our past? What has been the cost of postwar Jewish silences? What are the repercussions of Jews' longstanding history of displacement? Could mental illness be among them? Does assimilation necessarily result in a disembodied Jewish identity? Where do we find sanctuary amidst displacement? What happens when Jews are given the opportunity to exclude and subjugate (as in, Cohen argues, the occupied territories of Israel). By examining his own "puzzle of belonging," Cohen strives to end that silence, giving voice to his ancestors and to questions that engage him.
The book is a captivating read, both informative and beautiful, close in spirit and style to the late writer W.G. Sebald, whose ghost seems to preside. Early on, Cohen ruminates on the history of mental instability in his family, citing a passage from Sebald's The Rings of Saturn about "the ghosts of repetition that haunt me with ever greater frequency." Cohen shapes his family history within the context of repeated breaks from the past, reinvention, and loss and their destabilizing effect. The unsettled mix of Jewish identity and the post-Holocaust desire for assimilation thread through the family stories, culminating in his parents' assimilation: "Jewishness was the minor key of their identity. They were not about to change their name . . . Nor, however, were they about to rock the boat."
This is a journey of truth-seeking, and its emotional core is Cohen's childhood in the shadow of his mother's illness: "Children experience things they cannot express. I could never identify the nature of the loss, but I knew elements were missing from the domestic picture, so unblemished on the surface." First we revisit Cohen's family roots in Lithuania and South Africa, encountering vivid portraits of family members and their environs, and we end in Israel—a counter to assimilation, but no escape from instability. Many readers will be drawn to the chapters on the fascinating and lesser-known history of South Africa's Jewish community, in which both sides of the Cohen family settled during the large wave of immigration by primarily Lithuanians between 1880 and 1940. Cohen describes Jews' attitudes toward apartheid, offering perspectives on their rare sense of belonging to the white privileged class: "A friend of the family let slip a sentiment widely felt but seldom articulated: 'Thank God for the blacks. If not for them, it would be us.'"
Cohen's parents were born and raised in South Africa, but his father's ambitions as a medical researcher led the couple to England, where Cohen was born. After a brief return to South Africa with young Roger, the family settled in England, whose climate and social isolation contrasted with the warmth and embrace of South African family and sunshine. June's post-partum depression after the birth of Roger's younger sister marked the start of a decades-long illness, determined to be endogenous or biological, which included hospitalization, electroconvulsive therapy, and suicide attempts. A decade after her second suicide attempt, she was diagnosed with cancer, a final deliverance from her anguish.
Human Street: could a name be more serendipitous? "Human" conveys the empathy Cohen has poured into telling his mother's story, a recounting that has rescued her from the pages of the sanatorium's register and humanized her, making her whole again, and healing himself in the process. "Because she was born in June, she was called June. The name suited her. She was bright and full of laughter. She liked to dance and sing."
One can hope that Cohen's deeply personal and revealing memoir has provided the peace—the shleimut (Hebrew for wholeness, root for the word Shalom) that he sought. His labors, however, extend beyond the personal. For Cohen's established readers, The Girl from Human Street offers a deepened perspective on his writing. In particular, it adds nuance to his Zionism and Jewish identity, amplifies the humanity and empathy of his Bosnia coverage, outlines his attitudes toward Europe and the post-1990 balance of power there, and goes far toward offering insight into his reasons for taking American citizenship.
Penetrating and moving, this memoir is an act of exemplary remembrance. For Cohen's Jewish readers, the book models the hope of so many: the ability to invoke the ghosts of memory in their own family—family lost in the Holocaust, the details of forgotten family history, the loss that comes with assimilation, our own family's history of mental illness, the now-forgotten practice of Judaism. For Cohen's (and my own) boomer generation, the time is now. We are not obliged to complete the task, but neither are we free to abstain from it.

The Portsmouth Public Library, New Hampshire's first municipal building to receive the prestigious LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) (http://www.usgbc.org/leed) silver certification, has been recognized for its design and construction in the areas of energy conservation, recycling, lighting, and use of local materials. The library also contains other sustainable features such as low flow toilets, native drought resistant plants in the landscaping, and printers which release fumes out of the building, instead of in.
Despite being twice the size, electricity consumption was only up 50 percent from the former site. And even though the new building is 116 percent larger than the old facility and open more often, the amount of natural gas used to heat it decreased by 66.7 percent, saving the city $20,000 in the library's first year of operation. A self guided tour of the library which goes into greater detail about the sustainable features of the Portsmouth Public Library can be found here.
Located in Madbury NH, the water treatment plant has become the third building under the City of Portsmouth to be certified LEED silver. Its green features include solar hot water collectors, heat pumps, and "daylight harvesting" all of which reduce the buildings carbon footprint. The building itself is also sustainable as the material used to construct it is made of recycled materials. Lastly the building itself is highly energy efficient and exceeds the current energy code by 30%.
In 2017, solar arrays were installed at this building. These arrays are ground mounted and generate about 25% of the plant's energy needs. You can find additional details here.
In addition to the Madbury plant, solar arrays were also installed at the High School in 2017. The combined total size of the arrays at both sites is 578 kilowatts DC and will produce more than 700,000 kilowatt hours of renewable electricity annually. This array is located on the roof of the school and will generate about 11% of the school's energy needs.
When completed in 2013, the Portsmouth Middle School became a high performance building. A "High Performance" school is one in which all of its systems function in an efficient and synergistic fashion. A high performance school provides a healthy, comfortable environment that facilitates learning, saves money, and helps to protect the environment. High performance schools offer superior indoor environmental conditions for health and academic performance, are cost-effective and efficient to operate and maintain, and are resource efficient in the areas of energy use, water use, and building material content and durability.
NH House Bill 129, which took effect on September 9, 2005, gives the Department of Education the ability to award up to 3% more state funding to districts that design, build, and operate school facilities that meet new high performance standards. The designation of "High Performance" is very similar to LEED certification. In New Hampshire, the Department of Education's School Building Aid Office uses the designation of "High Performance" instead of LEED certification to indicate that sustainable and green practices were used in the design and building of the school. You can find further information at https://neep.org/initiatives/energy-efficient-buildings/high-performance-schools/new-hampshire.
The City completed the construction of Fire Station 2 in the summer of 2010 at its new location, 3010 Lafayette Road. Some of the "green" features of this project include a super-insulated building envelope, high-efficiency natural gas boilers for heat and innovative site features to treat storm water. These features will result in significant annual operating cost savings and improved environmental conditions over a conventionally designed and built facility. The building was declared LEED Silver in May of 2011.


I went out at 3am to photograph The Milky Way over the East Texas tree line. The moon had set earlier, the skies were clear and the immediate location was free of lights from houses, street lights, etc., which set the stage for this view of the sky. The distant lights enhance the silhouette of the tree line below.

Trinidad and Tobago came under fire at the Rotary Club of Central Port of Spain Model UN (MUN) 2019 Resolution on International Migration and Development yesterday morning.
On the first day of the general assembly, youths representing various countries questioned the TT delegates on why the country had not "little to nothing" to assist refugees and migrants from Venezuela.
The MUN at the Cascadia Hotel and Conference Centre, St Ann's, simulated a real United Nations General Assembly with students representing governments of various UN member states. This 21st annual MUN give over 100 local and regional youths from TT, St Kitts, St Lucia, Guyana, Curacao, as well as four refugee youths from the School of Hope, a voice in exploring solutions to this global challenge.
The secretary general noted that war, civil unrest, persecution, human rights violations, underdevelopment, climate change and natural disasters were leading to large movements of refugees and migrants every year. She said over 60 million fled violence and persecution while 225 million migrants went to other countries to search for better opportunities for survival.
Germany questioned how TT could claimed financial restraint while NGOs were rallying to get Venezuelan children educated. While suggesting that TT should not accept more immigrants than it could accommodate, Libya asked what measures TT was taking to control the number of migrants entering the country. TT was also asked about human trafficking and why it was not accepting Venezuelans in public schools.
Stating that resources were limited and noting the recent closure of Petrotrin and the resulting loss of numerous jobs, the TT delegates responded by asking how the country was expected to support others when it could not support its own people. The delegates also acknowledged that Venezuelan refugees received care from NGOs including UNHCR which recently distributed care packages.
It was a very lively debate on topics including the Syrian civil war, the situation in Venezuela, the Nigerian refugee crisis, and refugee camps. Some believed it was better to focus on resolving the problems from which the refugees fled rather than hosting them.
Poland was subject to criticism because their refusal to let refugees into their country although its delegates stressed it assisted refugees financially and medically. US President Donald Trump's stand on immigration was also raised several times – the Mexican boarder wall, the ban on foreign nationals from seven predominantly Muslim countries, the separation of migrant children from their parents, etc – as it went against several declarations and agreements. Delegates highlighted the number of refugees or migrants they welcomed into their countries, defended their stands to refuse to open their boarders, noted the facilities and services provided to refugees, or pointed out that, while they could or would not physically facilitate refugees or immigrants, they assisted financially.
Other country delegates were put on the defence as they were asked how they could claim to help refugees and migrants when they countries were politically, socially, or financially stable. Others were accused of exploiting displaced individuals or not integrating them into society. South Korea was even accused of imprisoning their refugees on Jeju island.
At one point the Philippines delegates asked how China could not support migrants in their country when Chinese immigrants populated countries all over the world. The China delegates said the country already had one of the largest populations in the world so it contributed financially although it could not take in more people.

I work in Human Resources for an organization of around 100 FT employees. We are strongly committed to our employee's wellbeing and have decided to hire a personal trainer to offer their services to our employees at no cost to the employee.
The office building that we are located in has a gym the trainer will be using and the employees will be voluntarily signing up for training sessions outside of their working hours.
I want to ensure that we have considered all potential liabilities and would appreciate any advice.
If you pay for the trainer, any injuries may fall under WC even if its outside work hours.
You can have the employees sign a waiver, but they cant waive their legal right to WC and most waivers arent worth much according to our attorney.
Will they be working out alone? That should not occur. There should always be 2 people minimum there for safety.
Thanks for your quick response! No, they would not be working out alone- he would have them working out in groups of 4-5 people.
Is there anything I should look for in the contact with our organization and the personal trainer that would limit our liability?
Make sure that the PT has his own personal insurance policy AND that your company and the gym is a "named insured" on the policy. (it should not cost him anything extra to add your company) If he does not, you need to get the insurance information from the gym. That means that it might be possible for the WC insurance carrier to subrogate part of the claim back to his or the gym's policy IF there is a reason to do so. But I do agree that an injury could (possibly) fall under your WC claims process. Since WC is so state specific and then claim specific, it is hard to tell you for sure. You might check with your WC insurance carrier first to be certain.
Make sure that "voluntary" truly is. Otherwise, you might fall into FLSA/wage issues.
Also, depending on the relationship between the PT and the gym, the gym might have some requirements (such as these employees become members) that the PT doesn't tell you about. The gym itself should have property insurance coverage for injuries at the gym that are due to failures on the gym's part (i.e. slip and fall due to mopped floor with no sign, etc). And other types of injuries to members.
There are basically three types of relationships that I have seen : (1) employee -- where he works for, is paid by and you pay the gym and if he got hurt it would fall under their WC policy and where he falls totally under any EPL insurance; (2) he is an independent contractor and the gym pays him some percent/amount of the sessions that he does but the money flows through the gym itself -- would generally not fall under their WC /EPL policy if PT hurt but they should be requiring he have his own and their WC audit would require that or (3) what we call a "user"...that is he pays "rent" to the gym, you pay him directly -- again he would generally be required to carry his own WC insurance and may have no EPL insurance.
So I would make sure and understand that relationship....just so it doesn't get caught up in your insurance.

LONG BEACH, MS (WLOX) - A police pursuit through a Long Beach neighborhood early Monday morning ended after the suspect's car crashed into a resident's vehicle outside his home. The incident comes after a string of burglaries throughout the area.
Residents have been on high alert recently after multiple auto burglaries have been reported. It was a tip about suspicious activity from one of the residents that led officers to the area to investigate.
After seeing the suspect's vehicle commit a traffic violation, a Long Beach police officer attempted to stop the car. Instead of stopping, the car fled from the officer, leading authorities on a brief police chase.
After hitting several mailboxes at homes along Trautman Avenue, the chase ended when the driver crashed into a resident's minivan.
"At a high rate of speed, the suspect lost control of his vehicle, went through these bushes, taking out the mailbox and hitting the person's vehicle," said Long Beach Police Lt. Patrick Craig, pointing to trampled shrubs in front of one resident's home.
Two suspects were arrested but police believe four others others fled. Dijon Jones of Hattiesburg and Tyler McLaurin of Seminary were taken into custody at the scene. The two 18-year-olds are each charged with three counts of burglary.
It's unclear if one of them was driving the vehicle or if one of the suspects who got away was driving it.
Jones and McLaurin were booked into Harrison County Jail with bond set at $25,000 per charge for a total of $75,000 each.
"I woke up with a bunch of sirens and it sounded like gun shots," said Mary Peterson, who lives in the neighborhood.
It wasn't gun shots that Peterson heard. It was the sound of the suspect's vehicle colliding with her neighbor David Smith's vehicle in front of his house.
"Somebody was in this car and they got out and just run," said Peterson.
Police did tell Smith that they had a few leads on the car.
In the hours that followed, police recovered stolen firearms, as well as other stolen items that the suspects tried to ditch once the pursuit began.
Still with several suspects roaming free, Peterson said she doesn't feel safe.
"As soon as dark comes, they're going to be roaming again," she said. "No, I don't feel comfortable at all sitting here."
Police said for many of the vehicles that were broken into, it was as easy as the suspects just having to open the doors because the vehicles were left unlocked.
However, that hasn't eased the concern of those who live in the area. Smith said he has lived in Long Beach for decades and is stunned by the amount of crime he is seeing.
Police have not yet released the names of the two suspects that were taken into custody or a description of any of the other suspects believed to be involved. We will update this story once that information is made available.


A new contract for this Man United striker; but what now?
The arrival of Anthony Martial at Manchester United for a record-breaking fee for a teenager was seen by many as a slap in the face for forwards within the club's reserve team and youth ranks.
Martial arrived amid talk of raw potential, but with just 11 senior goals to his name during a career seemingly far too short to merit such a price tag at the age of 19.
Few could have been left feeling more deflated than James Wilson, who, having regularly been earmarked by coaches and fans alike as the brightest striking prospect at Old Trafford, has been on the verge of United's first team for over 18 months now.
The decision to allow three senior front men in Robin van Persie, Radamel Falcao and Javier Hernandez to leave the club must have given the young Englishman plenty of encouragement that his chances of game time would increase.
But Martial's arrival shut the door as quickly as it had opened, with the young Frenchman the same age as his new teammate and also similar in style.
As the deadline for loans approached it seemed increasingly likely that Wilson would be allowed to gain first team experience elsewhere. Championship cubs were queuing up for the forward but Louis van Gaal declined to sanction any such move.
Despite now being apparently destined to a bit-part role for the foreseeable future, Wilson penned a new deal this week. At 19 he has time on his side and committed his future to United until 2019. What, though, does the immediate future hold?
The explosive impact of new signing Martial has catapulted him firmly to the front of the pack and it will be difficult for Wilson to dislodge his rival even with good contributions in whatever opportunities come his way.
Van Gaal's reluctance to let him go on loan, however, suggests he considers the Staffordshire-born man capable of providing strength in depth and covering for his first choice strikers should the need arise.
Wilson, who scored two goals on his Red Devils' debut, is the type of character to take advantage should a chance come his way and has obviously had re-assurances from his Dutch boss that he merely needs to bide his time.
Oddly, van Gaal described the forward this week as "the natural successor of Martial", which is strange given that both players are really only beginning their United careers.
Perhaps the manager means he sees Wilson as backup to his new star or as next in line once the former Monaco youngster's integration into the side is complete.
Ultimately Wilson may need to wait for the current boss to move on from the club before his career in Manchester really begins to take off.
He has been at United since he was seven years old and has gained few bigger fans during that time than club legend and current assistant manager Ryan Giggs.
It was the Welshman who gave the England under-21 international his first competitive start while acting as interim manager.
It was also Giggs who persuaded van Gaal to elevate Wilson to train with the first team following his arrival. It would be no surprise if the former winger had played a part in convincing him to sign a new contract.
Speculation continues that Giggs will be the next man in the Old Trafford hot seat and Wilson would surely welcome this should it come to pass.
Van Gaal, who repeated his retirement plans this week, also stated that Wilson's situation would be reassessed in December when there is another opportunity for him to go on loan.
If however, United are still competing on multiple fronts come the festive period, the former Barcelona and Bayern boss stated he would be more inclined to keep Wilson due to the greater need to rotate his squad.
Whenever and however Wilson gains his next serious game time in a United shirt, he must take confidence from the fact that the club's current managerial duo hold him in high regard.
He should not look on at Martial with envy or frustration, only take encouragement that he can have a similar impact when his chance comes.
He has pledged the next four years to the club of his youth and a little more patience could yet see him become a major player at the Theatre of Dreams.

Great Danes are giant, noble, robust, powerful and elegant. They do not bark much and are quite responsible and dependable.
Dignified, elegant and regal, the Great Dane is also known as the German Mastiff and Deutsche Dogge. It was used in the Middle Ages as a war dog and large mammal hunter. Flaunting a tall muscular built, the dog was called the �Apollo� of dogs because of its ability to overtake such strong animals. It holds a record for being the tallest dog in the Guinness World Records and featured as the state dog of Pennsylvania in 1965. To know more about the history, appearance and personality of Great Dane, read through the following lines.
The first ever record of Great Danes goes as long as 3000 B.C. back, when the Egyptian monuments had drawings of the breed. However, the first written record is found in Chinese literature of 1121 B.C. As per a particular theory, Great Danes were also known in parts of Greece and Rome. The actual development of the breed was 400 years ago in Germany, when it was used for boar hunting. While some sources claim that Great Dane was developed from the medieval boarhound, and of the Mastiff and Irish wolfhound lines, the others are of the opinion that the breed was developed from mastiff-like dogs taken to Germany.
Talking about precursors, the Bullenbeisser can be regarded as Great Danes direct ancestor, composing about the 40% of its make-up. The breed was first exhibited in the July of 1863, in Hamburg. In the initial years, every big and strong was considered a Dane but with time, names like Ulmer Dane, English Dane, Danish Dane, "Saupacker" and Big Dane were incorporated. So, in the German Dog Exhibition held in Hamburg Altona, it was decided that there should be a united name for this old German breed. It was in 1880, on the occasion of a dog show in Berlin, that a standard for the Great Dane was determined for the first time.
A robust body, Great Dane flaunts an enhanced frontal stop, with large nasal canal. While its neck is long and muscular, it has muscular thighs that perfectly complement its round feet with short, dark nails. Great Dane mostly has perfectly straight front legs. Talking about its facial features, the breed has round and dark eyes, with a lively intelligent expression. Its ears are cropped rather long and pointed and carried erect, or left natural. Great Dane's short, thick, shiny and smooth coat is mostly found in colors such as fawn, brindle, black, blue, mantle harlequin and sometimes, merle.
A great combination of agility with robustness and power and humbleness, Great Danes make great pets. Kind, sweet and affectionate, it is playful with kids and has a desire to be amidst people all the time. The breed comes under the responsible and dependable category of dogs. Its brave and loyal nature makes it a great watchdog. Owners should set their dog for obedience training right from the beginning, so that it becomes manageable when adults. Though Great Dane is amicable with other pets as well, it might accidentally injury a child or other animals because of its enormous size.

'When President Sirisena does it, that means that it is not illegal?.'
[Well, when the president does it, that means that it is not illegal.] Former American President Richard Nixon.
When I read the report headed 'President-Prime Minister Relations Strained as Maithripala Wants Ranil to Step Down as PM Before Testifying At Treasury Bonds Presidential Inquiry Commission On November 20th.' at dbsjeyaraj.com, the picture that came to mind was the one created by the former American President.
As per the above report 'According to informed sources close to the Coalition Government headed by President Sirisena and Premier Wickremesinghe , the bone of contention in the current crisis is a "strong request amounting to a demand" made by Maithripala that Ranil should "voluntarily" step down as Prime Minister before testifying before the Presidential Commission of Inquiry investigating the Issuance of Treasury Bonds by the Central Bank of Sri Lanka.'
The parallel of this in the Watergate Presidential issue is reported as follows by Wikipedia:
[On Friday, July 13, 1973, during a preliminary interview, deputy minority counsel Donald Sanders asked White House assistant Alexander Butterfield if there was any type of recording system in the White House. Butterfield said he was reluctant to answer, but finally stated there was a new system in the White House that automatically recorded everything in the Oval Office, the Cabinet Room and others, as well as Nixon's private office in the Old Executive Office Building.
On Monday, July 16, 1973, in front of a live, televised audience, chief minority counsel Fred Thompson asked Butterfield whether he was "aware of the installation of any listening devices in the Oval Office of the President." Butterfield's revelation of the taping system transformed the Watergate investigation. Cox (Special Prosecutor) immediately subpoenaed the tapes, as did the Senate, but Nixon refused to release them, citing his executive privilege as president, and ordered Cox to drop his subpoena. Cox refused.
On October 20, 1973, after Cox refused to drop the subpoena, Nixon ordered Attorney General Elliot Richardson to fire the special prosecutor. Richardson resigned in protest rather than carry out the order. Nixon then ordered Deputy Attorney General William Ruckelshaus to fire Cox, but Ruckelshaus also resigned rather than fire him. Nixon's search for someone in the Justice Department willing to fire Cox ended with the Solicitor General Robert Bork. Though Bork said he believed Nixon's order was valid and appropriate, he considered resigning to avoid being "perceived as a man who did the President's bidding to save my job." Bork carried out the presidential order and dismissed the special prosecutor.
These actions met considerable public criticism. ]
Sri Lankans are aware of such a pattern especially during the immediate past President's rule. It is therefore important for us to consider whether the position of Executive Presidency is healthy for Sri Lanka which is yet to invest in Democracy as much as America where media power brought the President down.
The immediate past occupant of the position of President of Sri Lanka, was brought down by his own Party due to excessive use of power. These are still in the minds of People and more importantly remain as common problems to the extent no one did anything about it. Each one of us who did what we could within the boundaries of our positions – completed the relationship with that position. Beyond that every unit of contribution becomes Shakthi / Energy. When these problems go beyond our custody they become sins. When those who have the power cover up and bury the past – they become sins that only Energy can cure. If left to become sin it would invoke other sins from previous lives and form coalitions with them. This usually happens when we do not attribute credit to those who facilitated us to get to that position. Those who do – become self-governed and have earned the right to be respected above any administrator.
As per the current occupant of the Position of Executive President – the Prime Minister is treated as one below the President in hierarchical ranking. Recently, an Academic of the University of Jaffna said to me that a junior could not question a senior member of staff. Based on that – the Prime Minister does not have the power to ask the President to step down from his position during investigations of his former boss, but the President has the power to ask the Prime Minister to do so.
How would I handle this as a minority power in (a) an Autocratic system or (b) a Democratic system?
In family and school during my times, the systems were largely autocratic and as a junior I absorbed the pain when I thought I was being treated unjustly. That was the way in which I was groomed – starting with my parents. Now I realise that wherever I was right – and I did not retaliate – I ended up carrying my contribution as Energy. This is why Hindu wives who were apparently minority powers and who were expected to speak only when they were spoken to – were recognized as Shakthi. Even recently, Parames Moorthi – said to me at her nephew's wedding – that I was Shakthi. I took it that Parames recognized me easily because she was Shakthi to her family. That is how Truth / Love that we work towards is shared with wider world without much particular effort on our part, once we have escalated it to the level of Energy. As per the above article:
[Meanwhile concerned UNP and SLFP circles are communicating with former President Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaratuga who is currently in the USA about this crisis. It is expected that Chandrika would return home shortly and bring about a mutually acceptable settlement of the issue.]
This confirms that there are some within the Government circles who consider former President Madam Chandrika Kumaratunga to be SLFP Shakthi. This is true power if Madam Kumaratunga did not retaliate when former President – Mr Rajapaksa disrespected her instead of paying his respects as an elder. Mr. Sirisena needs to respect Madam Kumaratunga highly in his own mind, if he is not to naturally collude with the mind of his former boss Mr Rajapaksa.
Saint Yoga Swami of Sri Lanka educates us in this regard through the following:
Karu Valhiyai Adai Endraan Engal Guru Nathan / Follow the path to the Nucleus said our Guru
Kattuppaddum Manam Endraan Engal Guru Nathan / The mind will be bound said our Guru
The Nuclear Energy in secular language is Love / Truth. If we join the path to Love / Truth – our mind would be automatically bound to follow order.
Applying the Hindu parallel of Buddhism, to the extent Mr Wickremesinghe did not ask the President to step down but accepted the President's suggestion as that from a senior – Mr. Wickremesighe develops ownership Energy. But then we do have laws that are applicable to our respective positions.
Article 46 (2) of the Sri Lankan Constitution states:
[46. (2) The Prime Minister shall continue to hold office throughout the period during which the Cabinet of Ministers continues to function under the provisions of the Constitution unless he –
(a) resigns his office by a writing under his hand addressed to the President; or
(b) ceases to be a Member of Parliament.
Laws help us develop Common mind structures not only with those around us but also with those beyond our local borders. It is that Commonness that is the goal of an institution. Once it is common it must apply to all on Equal footing. Laws give form to this pathway which begins with Equal footing.
As per the above report:
[As such Maithripala feels that Ranil should set a bold precedent by stepping down and appear before the commission of inquiry as an "ordinary citizen". The president thinks this would elevate the Prime minister to a higher moral ground, refurbish his public image and silence the opposition.]
If Mr Wickremesighe the did what he did as Prime Minister then he has the DUTY to give evidence as a Prime Minister. If Mr Wickremesighe did what he did as an individual – that must first be established and Mr Wickremesighe needs to be first dismissed through due process of law if there is any – before he is entitled to give evidence as an individual. Without such laws we become individuals without specific relativity.
Mr Sirisena effectively stepped down from his position of President – and hence his suggestion / demand that Mr Wickremesighe also steps down. That is the way Truth surfaces to uphold Itself to support the true seeker. One who fails to value the Executive powers of the President has already proven that there is no one in Sri Lanka who is fit for that position. That is the verdict of Truth.
To my mind, the TNA by accepting the Buddhism foremost provision in the Constitution after its initial protest and did so in the name of peace and harmony – accumulated on behalf of all minorities in Sri Lanka – the Energy to naturally pool such minority Energy from the past in Sri Lanka as well as from wider world currently. That is how the American Energy accumulated through Watergate has come to our support.

Stone (1974) DVD9 + DVD5 Special Edition
Posted In: .Other movies, Action, Adventure, Crime, Drama, Mystery
The action starts at a political rally, when Toad (Hugh Keays-Byrne), a member of the Grave Diggers motorcycle club witnesses the assassination of a local politician. Of course the fact that Toad was so stoned out of his mind when he saw the killing that he probably wouldn't be able to tell the killer from a large plate of scrambled eggs makes no difference at all; and the killer still starts systematically knocking off the Grave Diggers to cover his trail. Enter Stone (Ken Shorter), a motorcycle-riding, long-hair loner cop who decides to join the Grave Diggers with the hope he can protect them from more murders, and find the killer. Some of the gang is apprehensive, but their leader, The Undertaker (Harbutt), agrees to let Stone ride with the Grave Diggers. It isn't long before Stone begins to fit in with the others, so much so that his girlfriend begins to worry about him. But as the killer begins to close in on the Grave Diggers, Stone must come to grips with the fact that even though he sees himself as part of the gang, he's still a cop sworn to uphold the law, which is something that goes against everything the Grave Diggers stand for. Eventually, Stone must make a decision as to what he will do, and which path he will chose.

Q: A PyQt5 button loads up data with np.loadtxt. Is there a way to store that data so I can make calculations later based on it? First of all, I'm a beginner, so any impovement  you suggest is really appreciated. Using PyQt5 there is a button which loads up data with np.loadtxt. (It's unpacked into two arrays, because it's x-y data). What I'm trying to achieve is accessing (or storing) that data globally, so later on I can use it in other functions, for example Fourier transform it.
I've already tried to append them into a global np.array defined independently at the top, and also tried the tempfile module, but none of them worked correctly. Here is the function which is called upon clicking the button:
def referenceArmClicked(self):
        options = QFileDialog.Options()
        referenceName, _ = QFileDialog.getOpenFileName(None,"QFileDialog.getOpenFileName()", "","All Files (*);;Python Files (*.py)", options=options)
        try:
            if referenceName:
                refX, refY= np.loadtxt(referenceName, usecols=(0,1), unpack = True, delimiter =',')

        except:
            pass #it's just here to simplify the problem, I know it's a bad thing

If I put self.refX  and self.refY instead of refX and refY, I need to pass it to the function as arguments:
def referenceArmClicked(self, self.refX, self.refY)

And this is when I connect the function to the button:
self.iReferenceArm.clicked.connect(self.referenceArmClicked)

.. and it doesn't work, and I'm stuck.
The desired output should look something like this: np.array([refX, refY])
All I've got sor far are empty arrays.


Please note that for all up to date action at Kensmyth – please read our ALPACA BLOG on this site.
The many benefits of choosing compact and versatile groundcare machinery over larger models is becoming more commonplace in small estates, farms and smallholdings, as the sophistication and capabilities of these smaller machines, such as utility vehicles and compact turf machinery, grows.
Kensmyth Alpaca Stud, situated just outside the Cotswold village of South Cerney, is one such example, with Kubota's four-seater utility vehicle – the RTV1140 – now an indispensible part of daily operations for the rapidly developing alpaca farm.
The daily running of the farm involves a wide and varied range of duties, so the need for equipment that is both nimble and powerful, and that can cope with the undulating terrain of the estate (chosen to replicate the landscape found in the alpaca's native Peru) is vital.
Despite the RTV1140 being the most used kit day-to-day, it was the Kubota's G23 high dump commercial mower that was first purchased, and as savvy and money conscious agricultural farmers, a number of competitive machines were demonstrated prior to purchase. But, following tests, it was proven that rival machines didn't match the Kubota on ability, aftersales support or price.
"Whilst the G23 isn't your conventional machine for an alpaca farmer, it is perfect for topping the grass in the smaller paddocks and collecting it pre shearing. The fleece is critical to our natural alpaca handmade clothing, so the least amount of grass, straw, hay or burrs in it, the easier it is to prepare for being made into yarn. It can also be used to hoover up leaves on a low setting, which ultimately protects the grass.
Alongside the G23, the farm's two RTV1140s have proven equally as invaluable to the successful running of the site, in part for the day-to-day farm work, but also to assist in the programs that Helen and her team run for visitors with physical and mental illnesses; as well as those with more minor physical afflictions, such as broken legs.
Alongside the will to meet the needs of all the farm's visitors, the Kubota comes into its own on a daily basis for a raft of on-site duties, with Helen often using the vehicle in preference to their tractor.
"Transporting hay to all of our paddocks and moving straw to the field shelters in the winter months is simple and straightforward with the RTV1140, but less so with our tractor. In the drier months, I can attach a spring tine harrow and scarify the fields, this wouldn't be possible with a heavier machine.
"The RTV is easy to manoeuvre round corners thanks to its excellent steering, and the hydrostatic braking system is especially useful when tackling the many hills and slopes across the site. I also save myself the back breaking and time-consuming task of manual spraying, by adding a sprayer attachment to the tipping bed, allowing us to keep on top of Scotch Thistle and weeds.
"In spring, I attach a fertiliser spreader, which means I can get out much earlier than I could if I was using the tractor. Working with the weather is critical, and it's often the case that the ground is too wet for a heavy tractor, which makes the 1140 invaluable to our work here. The tippable flatbed has an excellent load capacity, too, so perfect for materials transportation, be it poles for fencing or for collecting alpaca waste.
The South Cerney Group of Beavers enjoyed their visit to Kensmyth this Summer in two separate groups and thanked us with a lovely card, choccies and Sunflowers no less!
Bounce into Spring with our new exclusive collection of 100% Alpaca handmade garments. Choose one and a colour and have it made to order!
Kensmyth always tries to support Suri breeding whenever we can. Suri being the alternative Alpaca breed to Huacaya which we breed here.
This year we have sponsored the Championship Fawn Suri class at the British Alpaca Futurity 2015 in Coventry at the end of March.

So for those of you who follow me on Instagram, you already know that tendonitis has negatively impacted my quality of life since December 2015. By suffering from tendonitis for ten months and counting, I wasn't able to do the things I loved most to the best of my ability. Tendonitis hindered simple everyday tasks such as blogging, photography, driving, exercising, and more. If I were to do any of these activities for more than one hour, my wrists would experience both an excruciating and lingering type of pain for days on end. After three useless doctor appointments, an expensive shopping list of ergonomic equipment, and ten months of continuous suffering, I sadly forced myself to accepted the harsh reality - to live with this pain forever. However, once I started getting acupuncture, I became hopeful once again. Maybe acupuncture is the solution to all of this pain and suffering...but only time will tell. Today on Missmisschelle, I answer common Q&A's or the general questions that you guys have asked me over Instagram regarding acupuncture.

Starnice – wieś w Polsce położona w województwie pomorskim, w powiecie słupskim, w gminie Dębnica Kaszubska. Miejscowość jest siedzibą sołectwa, w którego skład wchodzi również osada Starniczki. Do 2020 w skład sołectwa Starnice wchodziły również Troszki, lecz w wyniku zmiany zasięgów terytorialnych sołectw przyłączono je do sołectwa Dobieszewo.

Według stanu na 30 czerwca 2018 liczba mieszkańców wynosiła 248. 30 września 2013 we wsi mieszkało 269 osób.

W latach 1975–1998 miejscowość administracyjnie należała do województwa słupskiego.

We wsi zlokalizowany jest zabytkowy zespół pałacowo–parkowy.

Przystanek kolejowy
Przy skrzyżowaniu drogi wojewódzkiej nr 210 z drogą powiatową nr 1174G do Starnic, na południe od zabudowań wsi, znajdował się przystanek kolejowy, będący częścią linii kolejowej Słupsk–Budowo. Pierwszy odcinek, tj. ze Słupska do Dębnicy Kaszubskiej, oddano do użytkowania 15 sierpnia 1894. 12 października 1895 nastąpiło otwarcie następnego fragmentu tejże linii, tj. do Jamrzyna, przy której stanął przystanek kolejowy w Starnicach. Ostatecznie, 1 sierpnia 1906 tory przedłużono do Budowa. Planów połączenia z linią Bytów-Lębork nigdy nie zrealizowano.

Cmentarz ewangelicki
W Starnicach znajdują się dwa cmentarze przedwojennych mieszkańców wsi. Pierwszy z nich, prawdopodobnie cmentarz posiadaczy ziemskich, położony jest około 200 m na północny wschód od wschodnich zabudowań wsi. Drugi z cmentarzy zlokalizowany jest w lesie, około 400 m na południowy zachód od zachodnich zabudowań miejscowości. Założony został na planie prostokąta. Niegdyś był wydzielony z otoczenia świerkowymi nasadzeniami. Był to cmentarz wiejski. Zachowały się nieliczne fragmenty nagrobków, żeliwnych krzyży oraz porcelanowych tabliczek inskrypcyjnych, wskazujące na pochówki z drugiej połowy XIX i początku XX wieku.

Education logos
Michigan State Logo
basketball team | university | USA
Michigan State Logo PNG
The Michigan State University has four logotypes, including the wordmark, the seal, the icon, and the helmet symbol. While the wordmark and helmet may be used without any restrictions, the seal and icon can be used only in certain circumstances.
In the center of the University seal, there is a stylized depiction of the College Hall with the text "Founded in 1955" below. The rising sun here is the symbol of the breakthrough in the approach to teaching the disciplines connected with mechanics and agriculture, which took place in the middle of the 19th century. The walkway symbolizes the higher education accessible to a wider public.
What is Michigan State?
Michigan State University, or simply Michigan State, is an American public research educational institution, which was established in East Lansing in 1855. Today the University has ten campuses across the state, where almost 50 thousand students and 6 thousand academic staff spend their best days.
Block S symbol
The so-called Block S icon is given in a bespoke typeface in the University's official color, the MSU green.
The Spartan helmet emblem
The stylized helmet is used mostly as the logo of the athletic teams representing MSU. However, the word "Spartans" may also be used in a broader sense and refer to the students, teachers, and alumni, so in fact the helmet has a broader use. In 2010, the Michigan State logo featuring the helmet went through a redesign. The new version faced a lot of criticism from the fans, so eventually the school returned to the previous one.
MSU wordmark font
The typeface featured on the MSU wordmark is a customized version of the Californian font. Californian is a classic serif typeface inspired by the ancient Spartans. This choice is perfectly natural, taking into consideration that the school's sport program is called the MSU Spartans.
Also, the Californian type is the secondary font recommended for the school's website. The primary font is Gotham.
The Michigan State University's official palette comprises two colors: white and the so-called MSU green (PMS 567 or hex 18453B).

Undertale, one year later
September 15th marks a full year since the arrival of Undertale, Toby Fox's 16 bit-style role-playing game for PC. Its auspicious reception, which even delivered the game into the Pope's hands, seems now more than ever to have been a flashpoint in current debates as to what constitutes excellence in videogames. Standing apart from the colossal world-building efforts that typically crowd year-end lists, Undertale offered something else: an epic-in-miniature, the latest entry in a tradition that might also include the animated shorts of David OReilly, Sarah Orne Jewett's The Country of the Pointed Firs (1896), and Chopin's preludes, which served…
The unexpected forefather of music games
The Commodore 64 game Moondust (1983) is best remembered as a software programming experiment that helped launch the career of its creator, Jaron Lanier—an eccentric polymath who many now consider one of the earliest and foremost pioneers of virtual reality. But it might be better acknowledged as the progenitor of the modern music game. Lanier used the capital he generated with Moondust to found VPL Research, a company that conducted some of the first virtual reality machine-building efforts in the mid-1980s. Since then, his rigorously exploratory ethos has informed his wide-ranging body of work, which has included enterprises as diverse…

WVU Walks It Off Against Kansas, Advances in Big 12 Championship
by Shanna Rose - May 26, 2021 May 26, 2021 0612
OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla.—The eighth-seeded West Virginia University baseball team rallied past No.9 Kansas on Tuesday night in the opening game of the 2021 Phillips 66 Big 12 Baseball Championship.
Sophomore outfielder Victor Scott drew a bases-loaded walk in the bottom of the ninth inning to help the Mountaineers win the single-elimination contest and advance to the next round of the tournament.
WVU finished with eight runs on 14 hits while the Jayhawks tallied seven runs on 14 hits in the thriller.
Right-handed pitcher Jacob Watters (4-2) picked up the win and Daniel Hegarty (4-1) suffered the loss. took the loss.
"On the scale of walk-off excitement, a walk is one of the lowest, but it doesn't change the fact that this was a really good win for us," head coach Randy Mazey said. "Victor Scott's at-bat there was just a culmination of all of our at-bats over the course of the whole night. Our hitters stood in there well against Kansas' best arms. That was a really good night for us offensively."
Kansas (30-27) quickly took a 1-0 lead in the first when Tavian Josenberger doubled to right center. Then the Jayhawks tacked on four in the second, ending the evening for the Mountaineers starter Carlson Reed. The right-handed lasted just 1.1 innings of work.
Trailing, 5-0, redshirt sophomore Alec Burns got WVU on the board with a solo shot to right field in the bottom of the second.
In the bottom of the fourth, WVU (24-25) tied the game with a four-run frame. Back-to-back RBI base hits from senior second baseman Tyler Doanes and junior Austin Davis set the stage for senior Matt McCormick to do some damage. He whacked a two-run triple off the right field wall, tying the game at 5-5.
The Mountaineers took their first lead of the night in the bottom of the fifth after freshman Nathan Blasick hit a leadoff triple and scored on an RBI groundout by senior Hudson Byorick.
Kansas regained the lead in the sixth. Maui Ahuna drilled a two-out RBI triple to left center, tying the game. Then Ahuna scored on Josenberger's single to right field.
However, WVU refused to let its season come to an end. Senior third baseman Kevin Brophy doubled down the left field line, even the score at 7 apiece.
From there, Watters took control and sat the Jayhawks down in order in the top of the ninth before Scott's walk ended it for WVU.
Watters didn't allow a hit and struck out five in 1.2 innings of action.
All nine starters tallied at least one hit for West Virginia in the win. McCormick led the Mountaineers with two RBI to go along with his 2-for-5 night at the plate.With the win, WVU improved to 16-11 all-time against the Jayhawks, as well as 14-12 at the Big 12 Championship.

Europe favors Obama, which makes sense because he is very like them in his beliefs.
Watching British TV it seems that Obama is a reflexive choice. Even the most "conservative" of UKers scoff at the thought of Romney and the moronic Republican party that want him elected. Gun-toting, obese, homophobic, hillbillies all (it's like all they know about Republicans is what they read in the news). There can't possibly be a rational, principled reason for wanting more freedom from government. Romney is hardly a flaming libertarian, at best he is a right-of-center moderate, yet his is presented as the Bush-iest (gold standard of American political idiocy) of redneck choices trying to drag America back into the bad old days (of high employment and an economy not swirling the drain but also not sensitive enough about government intervention for the poor and the environment).
I have to wonder if any of talking heads actually understand what Romney represents, other than the caricature they have created for themselves. They either don't understand or don't want freedom. Are they just so used to being coddled and watched by the government that it doesn't occur to them that there is another choice or do they look at the alternatives and say "yes, I want the government to regulate nearly every aspect of my life and to tax me accordingly"?
