Kevin Saunderson b2b Dantiez
Platinum-selling recording artist, label boss, festival promoter, true innovator in the pantheon of popular music, cultural champion, cracking DJ: there's a lot to be said about Kevin Saunderson.
His influence runs deep, through both adopted hometown of Detroit, and music culture as a whole: as one of the Belleville Three, the high school trio which also includes Juan Atkins and Derrick May, he irreparably changed the face of electronic music; with Inner City, he gave it some of its most memorable tunes.The genesis of today's enormous techno scene can be retraced straight to Kevin, Derrick and Juan, as their formative experiments on rudimentary hardware sketched a blueprint for a genre that was yet to exist. By absorbing Kraftwerk, cutting-edge funk, local radio stalwart The Electrifying Mojo's eclecticism, and all manner of new synthesizers and drum machine-led pop music, the Belleville Three broke new ground as musicians and DJs in the 80s.
Saunderson's comparatively late start as a producer – kicking off in '87 under the moniker of Kreem, with E-Dancer and Reese two of the more well-known names to follow – inadvertently gifted him a head start. With the eruption of house music a few hours down the I-94 in Chicago, Saunderson married Detroit's raw sound to more tactile, pop-leaning sensibilities. Inner City was born, and global success followed.Between "Big Fun", "Good Life", debut album Paradise and a number of follow-up singles, Inner City (Saunderson and vocalist Paris Grey) amassed 12 UK top 40 hits and over six million records sold worldwide during their peak. A dancefloor-dominating remix by Luciano in 2008, and a globetrotting reunion tour in 2012, underscores the longevity of Inner City's classic sound.His nickname of 'The Elevator' is apt: for his role in transporting Detroit's new sound to a wider audience; as anyone who has seen him perform live can attest, his high-energy, high-spirit and high-impact DJ sets; and for spending the past 35 years of his life progressing the culture he helped create.Operating in tandem to his golden run as a producer in the late 80s and early 90s, Saunderson's own KMS record label – a remarkable 30 years strong in 2017 – has chronicled the early footsteps of R-Tyme, Blake Baxter, MK, Chez Damier, Derrick Carter, Bicep and even Saunderson's son and regular DJ partner Dantiez more recently.
From an early age, surrounded by such influential creatives, Dantiez knew music was the way for him. Inspired by his generation's reaction to electronica, Dantiez completely immersed himself in production and DJing.
Directly connected to Detroit's rich musical heritage, he learnt from his dad and fellow Techno innovators: Derrick May and Juan Atkins, whilst drawing further inspiration from the likes of Marco Carola, Seth Troxler, Richie Hawtin and Dubfire. From this Dantiez honed his craft, with songs beginning to reflect all sides of his taste pallet: energetic, Detroit-infused, underground but with a Pop vibe that's still rooted in Tech-House and Techno.
These early explorations paid off. Dantiez secured tracks on esteemed labels, most notably: Defected, Toolroom, Nervous and of course KMS, the legendary label owned by his father, which Dantiez helped relaunch and now heads its A&R department. Alongside these production credentials, Dantiez is a busy touring DJ with many high-profile events under his belt, like Boiler Room and Movement Electronic Music Festival. Dantiez has also earned his stripes as an in demand remixer, even being asked to reinvent material by childhood heroes: Green Velvet and Carl Craig.

La Gloutonnerie Closes, Will Reopen as Different Concept
Laine Doss | May 18, 2015 | 7:00am
La Gloutonnerie, the upscale French bistro in South Beach, has closed.
The restaurant has shuttered as of today and, according to a spokesperson, is undergoing a new look and concept.
The restaurant, owned by Mexico City's Cooley family, is teaming up with a still-unnamed restaurant group in the eatery's revamp. Although the name of the restaurant group was not disclosed, it is said to be a well-known group that's Miami-based.
La Gloutonnerie opened in May 2012 and was named for the overstuffed glouton sandwich invented by Marco Cooley. In a review, New Times' critic Lee Klein said the restaurant "is putting out authentic French fare — quite delicious, really." The restaurant's brunch, a lavish affair filled with French pastries, cheeses, charcuterie, and sparkling wine, was named Best Brunch of 2013.
Sadly, the restaurant gave no notice of its closing and subsequent retooling, so there was no last chance to feast on the brunch that usually boasted Dover sole and the most opulent presentation of breads to grace Miami Beach.
Stay tuned for more information about La Gloutonnerie's reopening.

How the castle and the parish of Kolodeje arose
During the reign of of King Ladislav II in the year 1500, the region where today lies the parish of Kolodeje was completely deserted. The hut of the ferryman and a watering place for the cattle were the only building and became the origin of the parish; the farm as well as the fortification came only in the course of time. The river crossing and the inn belonged initially to the Estate Breznice, which earlier belonged to Bechyne and then became part of Tyn.
All villages of the region were bonded, that is, they belonged to an estate of which the inhabitants were subjects and formed effectively its living inventary. There were two kinds of fields: The socalled estate and the fields of the peasants. The estate comprised the fields of the overlord, they were free and were leased by the master; they had an area which could be ploghed in one day. In contrast, the land of the peasants were bonded fields which were leased to the bondsman under arbitrary conditions.
The farm Breznice and the fortification with the same name belonged to the Count Stefan of Stramberg and subsequently to the nobleman Vchyna of Mlikovice, whole successors owned Breznice right into the 16th Century.
The ferryman and innkeeper at the bank of the Luznice between the villages of Hosty and Tyn were bonded to the Breznice nobleman from Mlikovice and it remained like this until Breznice was sold to the Tyn nobleman, the Family of Cabelicky of Boutice.
The parish of Kolodeje was founded around the year 1570. Its initial name was Kalady. After some time - probably due to the influx later of hundreds of Jewish inhabitants - the earlier used name Kaladey became accepted. Later on it, became Kaladeye and was finally, in the second half of the 19th Century, changed to Kolodeje.
Among the inhabitants, the name remained unchanged until the present day, especially among old people who call it Kalady. Thus, it was Kaladey in 1657, Kalady in 1655, Kallady in 1670, Kaladi and Kalladye in 1678 and even Kalladieg in 1713.
The village Kalady was also called after the estate and the fortification, respectively, which the Czech nobleman Gabelicky of Sontice erected. He was the son of the owner of the castle and the estate Tein, the knight Johann Cabelicky (died 1567). The mother of the founder of the fortress Kalady was Kryselda, the daughter of the Czech nobleman Berka of Duba.
The fortress was errected on the right shore of the river Luznice in the form of a square, surrounded by an entrenchment and a drain, which was filled by the water of the river Luznice (whenever there arose danger).
Prior to the construction of the fortress, either the father Adam of Cabelicky or the grandmother of the nobleman Adam, Johanna Cabelicka, daugher of Albrecht Rendl of Usava, owned an estate on the right shore of the Luznice near the crossing.
The family of Cabelicky of Sontice wss very old and its name is Old-Czech. They were initially Wladikas and became later knights and noblemen. The name Cabelicky originates in the estate Cabelice not far from Kacov. The coat of arms of this family was the wing of an eagle and a yellow claw in a red field. Descendants with this name were still living in earlier centuries in Bohemia and Württemberg. The first of this family, who resided in the fortress Cabelice in 1395 was Page Hroch of Sontice and Cabelice. His successor at the time of Eneas Sylvius was Johann Cablicky (he was in 1447 among those who held a meeting in Benechan about how King Ladislav - at that time still a child - should behave and who should advise him).
The Knight Johann Cabelicky was a loyal follower of the King Georg of Podiebrad and the highest minter of the Kingdom of Bohemia.
Soon after the construction of the estate and the fortress, first the right bank, later also the left bank of the River Luznice were settled. At the time when Kalady was started, its immediate neighbourhood was already inhabited. The founder of the fortress, Adam Cabelicky, had three brothers Prokop, Albrecht and Karl. Their father Johann Cabelicky distributed his property between them: The eldest, Prokop, received the estate and the fortress Tein, Albrecht received Podbos near Opavany, Karl the estate Zigmuntice (called Zimumtice) and Adam Kalady. The estate of Kalady also included Donbrava, Tuklesy near Zvikov and Vesce near Luznice, moreover the estate Hartmanice, Kurskov, two ponds above Zimumtice: Umiachova and Farsky.
In 1587, Adam sold the farm Kurskov and both ponds to his brother Karl for 200 60-Czech Pennies. They were rather far away from his residence. However, he bought soon afterwards estates closer by in Netechovice with the forest Celibi from Jost Hozlauer of Hozlau (for 250 - 60).
After Adams' death, his wife Barbara, born at Budkov, inherited all his property. This estate inluded the village Netichovice, Donbrava with a mill on the Moldau, Vestec, Tuklesy and the bridge over the Luznice.
After the death of Barbara Cabeliska, all of it was to pass on to the brothers Cabelicky and the family Podborsky. At that time, the members of the two families fought over the inheritance.
Johann Cabelicky took over Sontice. He paid his brothers, the sons of Albrecht of Podbori 13,000 60 Meissner money in 1616. In the year 1625, Jan Cabelicky sold the fortress Kalady with the estate, the mill and the bridge, the villages Donbrava and Vestec to Johann Mencelius of Kolsdorf, a magistrate. Mencelius of Kolsdorf was the secretary of the chancellor of King Rudolf II, of the Czech nobleman Zdenek of Lokovice, who was a dedicated Catholic and supporter of the two known royal governors Martinic and Slavata and publicly opposed the Czech Estates.
When King Rudolf II, under the influence of Vaclav Budovec z Budova, was persuaded to extend religious freedom to the Czech citizens by the manifest of the 9th July 1609, Mencelius of Kolsdorf was among those who as high royal officials and strict Catholics refused to sign the document.
In 1609, there occurred a revolt of 4000 peasants in the districts of Bechyne and Prachen. Their leaders were small noblemen, equally poor like themselves. They rose against the Catholic and Protestant nobility, because they could not and did not want to sustain any longer the suppression. Mencelius handed in 1627 Kalady over to Johann de Vitte from Lilienthal, Podbori and Opavny, a citizen and merchant in the Smaller Prague City, servant of his imperial majesty.
This Johann de Vitte was an extremely rich man in view of the fact that he and several men of his kind had leased for one year all mints in the kingdom of Bohemia and on the Enns in Austria for 6 million Gelder.
Previously, at the time of the uprising after the lost battle at the White mountain, he had been condemned and then again pardonned, so that he only had to pay 700 Florins (Rhein florins) to the Collegius nobilus at St. Jacob. (Admonishing list on St. Georg Day 1631). It is also known that Johann de Vitte loaned money against interest.
Already in 1628, Johann de Vitte sold the fortress Kalady together with Netechovice and other communities to Isaak from Brandenstein and his wife Johanna for 18,000 60. They had a son who later on inherited Kalady. This son placed Kalady heavity in debt. Eventually, he left for Holland and Kalady was auctioned. In this way, the property passed on to the own son of this Johann Joachim, Johann Stastny Brandenstein from Oppurk and when he died in 1692, the inheritance, by a curious game of fortune, reverted to the father, Johann Joachim, who in the meantime had returned from Holland. After the death of his son, Johann Joachim held the estate Kalady until 1704, that is, for another 12 years. He then also died.
As has already been mentioned, Netechovice was prior to 1586 in the possession of Jost Hozlauer from Hozlau; it was bought from him by Adam Cabelisky and was attached for the following years to the estate of Kalady.
Hieronymus of the family Hozlauer founded the fortress Hnevkovice and his father Sebastian owned the farm Bzi.
The Hozlauers were an old knight family which cam from Austria to Bohemia and owned in the South several estates. The titles book of 1534 mentions the names Heinrich and Wolf Holzlauer. Wolf die in 1552, Heinrich in 1560, Georg in 1564. Wolf and Heinrich were buried in the monastery at Bechyne in 1560.
The origin of the farm Homole is also connected with the village Hosty. Half the village Hosty was leased by King Otakar Premyal II to the community Bechyne, the remainder with the farm Homole belonged to Moldautein. I do not know in what manner Zdenek Malovec from Malovice acqired half the village Hosty; in any case, he sold Homole in 1546 to the farm Driten.
What a fate had this master of Homole in the first half of the 16th century when he did not succeed to find the treasure buried in the slopes of Homole. When the ground for the road from Kalady to Hosty was being prepared, the workers discovered in the slopes vessels full of silver coins. The amount of money was surprisingly large and at the time, during which this money circulated, it was without doubt an immense fortune.
Some of the coins were white pennies of the time of Ladislaus II, who ruled in Bohemia in 1500; others were of the time of the government of Habsburg's Ferdinand I, who ruled in Bohemia since 1526.
The first coins had on one side a plastic image of the Czech crown with the inscription Wladislaus secundus, Dei gratis rex Bohemiae and on the other side an image of the Czech lion with the inscription Grossi Pragenses.
The other coins had the same image but the inscription bore another name, namely that of King Ferndinand I, Ferdinandus primus.
As it was already a custom at such occasions, the treasure was stolen by the workers and the coins carried away in all wind directions. Only a few reached the school collection in Kolodeje by the grace of Mr. Ad. Spet.
Later on, the buildings of Homole were so rundown, that they could no longer be inhabited; hence Cardinal Harrach allowed in 1636 the town Moldautein to repair the farm Homole and Jaroschovice.
The indebted town Moldautein was forced in 1660 to sell the farm Homole. It was bought for 500 florins by the director Matias Kröner. When he died, it passed on to his heirs. These sold Homole again in 1685 for 620 florins to Mr. Sykova from Lacinovo. The new owner Sokova was a debtor of the Baroness Alosie Brandenstein, from whom he had borrowed 700 florins. Due to this debt, the baroness, who then lived in Kalady. eventually came to own the farm Homole.
After four years, Homole was sold for 450 florins to Peter Kodytek, a citizen of Budweis. Subsequently, the farm came into the hands of Ferdinand Stampach. By a marriage contract, Franz Schumann, captain of Volyn, inherited Homole and sold it again in 1734 to the Baroness Cratislav, neé Slik, who allotted it to the group of the communities of Moldautein; in this manner, Homole became attached to Kalady.
The farm Homole as well as the community Kalady belong to the Rectory Chrastany, which has existed since 1350.
In 1836, the farm Homole was again almost ruined, whence Count Karl Vratislav ordered all administrative and accommodative buildings to be torn down and reerected in an Italian style. The work lasted two years. The farm had two entrances, over which was written
This farm, Holole, was ordered to be built by the Count Karl Wratislaus for his own usage and welfare.
Above the second gate was the chronography by Professor Weber, the later provost:
Carolus Comes a Bratislaw has sibi erexerat aedes.
Both inscriptions have already become unreadable these days and only remnants of letters allow to guess where at one time the inscriptions decorated these gates.
Soon after the reconstruction of Homole, tree-nurseries were established which supplied the neighbourhood with fruit trees.
Vesce
Vesce. a village which was most of the time called Cabrov, belonged until 1260 to the dominion Bechyne and to the bishopric Prague. At this time, Bechyne and its environment belonged to Prague's bishop. In the same year, the community Vesce and at the same time also Bechyne came into the possession of King Premyal Otakar II, who had received them after a quarrel from Bishop Johann.
In the years 1510 - 1543, Vesce belonged to the region, which then was ruled by the Wladikas of Mlikovice. The owner of Moldautein acquired Vesce and the river crossing with the inn, as has already been mentioned above, from the successors of Wladikas Majnus of Breznice . After the subdivision of the Tein property, Vesce came into the possession of Adam Cabelicky, a knight who held the fortress Kalady (1608), while Breznice was sold by Prokop Cabelicky, the brother of Mr. Adams, already before the year 1589 to Peter Vok of Rosenberg, master at Bechyne. Since this time, Vesce belonged for ever to Kalady. The community Tukleky, which is always mentioned in connection with Vesce, was allotted after the death of Adam Cabelicky, that is, in 1612, to Rotkostelec; after 1662, also Orlik was added.
The legend, by which Vesce is supposed to have had a glorious past, unfortunately just remains a legend; it has been impossible to discover details, which the tradition would have really confirmed. A confirmed fact is only that the foundation of Vesce occurred far in the past, whence it is the oldest village in the region.
In the sense of what has been said before, the legends about this or that, which is supposed to have taken place in Vesce, is in now way supported by facts, because the lists of localities and cloisters do not display any indications. However, it is not excluded that the stories regarding Vesce should actually be ascribed to the fortress Kalady.
When and at which occasion Vesce was renamed Cabrov can no longer be ascertained. There exist several suspicions and many phantastic ideas. For example, the name Cabrov is to be a rearrangement of the letters of Cahlov. Another version derives the name Cabrov from the German Zauberdorf.
The last mentioned name may certainly only be a play with words as a joke, because it cannot be imagined that this village could receive such an unusually beautiful name in view of the fact that it neither by its position nor its buildings excels others in the neighbourhood.
If we were to approach seriously the question regarding the origin of the name, we would arrive at the insight, that the name Cabrov arose in the village as a criticism of the prevailing communications and is derived from a verb, which people use rather often and appropriately summarized the situation. Cabrati means wading through mud.
Solitary buildings behind the creek Bilinka, called Bronsek, have the real name Rosin, as its also cited in the Bechine coat of arms.
These buildings received the name Rosin after their inhabitant at the time, who was the game keeper on the great landed property Paarov and a Russian. Accordingly, it is Rusin, Rosin. This refugee Russian settled here and his progeny lived then also in Kalady.
The history of judaism in Kalady
From the 17th Century until the present day, the history of Kalady is closely linked to the history of the Jews, especially in Southern Bohemia. For this reason, the author, as he deals with the history of Kolodeje, may not exclude those inhabitants of the Parish of Kolodeje, who for 200 years were the majority of the total population. For this reason, with respect to this peculiarity in Bohemia's history,I add the story about the Israelitic population as a special chapter.
In 1681, the Jews settled in Kolodeje in large numbers. None were there before; the reason for this migration was the anger of the citizen of Moldautein, which they felt against the Jews due to the plague, which in 1680 appeared as an epidemic in the region. The inhabitants of Tein charged the Jews with the appearance of the plague and the public opinion was eventually also confirmed by the office of the ruler, which imposed on the Jews cruel punishment.
All Jewish families were expelled from the town and their houses were sold against their wishes.
The epidemic raged everywhere without mercy, not only in Tein but also in other towns many people died on the streets and in the houses. For example, in the town Tabor, entire families died. The servant Drazicky, who had been condemned to death, was released in order to bury the dead. The citizens of Tabor wrote about this on the 22.10.1680 to the Royal Tribunal.
Nevertheless, the good man did not escape execution. As the epidemic approached its end and all bodies had been buried, he was beheaded on 24th September 1681 in one of the suburbs of Tabor.
At the same time, during which the Jews were evicted from the town, Johann Brandenstein owned Kalady. He lacked money too often and since the Jews had to pay dearly for the protection offered, he was pleased to let them settle there, sold them building plots and, as their number had increased so much that they already required a synagogue, he built for them in 1695 a magnificent one , in which the rabbis and teachers could live.
Inside the synagogue was a decorated altar, in front of it a table with an embroidered cloth and around it an iron grid.
For the male faithfuls, there were benches along the walls and rows of them at the centre, for the women a galery upstairs with a special entrance. Decorated thoras were stored in the tabernacle.
The number of the Jewish inhabitants gradually exceeded that of the Catholics and in 1784 - that is, 100 years after the initial immigration - 80 Israelitic familes lived in Kalady. The rabbi in Kalady was not only responsible for the village, he also ruled over all of Southern Bohemia (that is, Tabor, Budweis, etc.).
In 1784, the District Rabbi Nathan Steckel is mentioned, who with the schoolmaster Aron Glockau performed the duty of the godfathers, by whom newly born children received their names.
The mortality of the Jewish inhabitants of Kalady was remarkable. On an average, there died during normal times 5 persons each month; however, when there was a measles epidemic in the country, there were monthly up to 25 funerals.
The registered cause of death during normal times was mostly tuberculosis, dropsy and also bone tuberculosis.
The laws for the Jewish part of the population were rather cruel, viewed from today. In the first place, one of them stopped the marriage of Israelites. Such a legal limitation of valid marriages led, of course, to secret ones, which, while blessed by God, were really legally invalid - even punishable.
The law of the 16th October 1726 ordered that Jews, who had already been married on the day of its announcement, must be entered in the official lists as Patres Familias, that is, from their families only one son, and indeed the first born son was allowed to marry in the country; the other sons had to emigrate before their marriage. Infringement of this law was punished by thrashing and eviction.
The total number of these Patres Familias was restricted in Bohemia to 8,600 and they were only allowed to reside in those locailities in which they were tolerated in 1725. As long as a Pater Familiae was alive, only his first born son was allowed to marry and never the other sons or grandsons. Under all conditions, these had to wait until a married childless Jew died or they had to serve as soldiers for many years or work as a peasant for 3 years.
But also then, when all the conditions had been met, the bridegroom and bride had to prove beyond doubt that they owned at least 300 florins.
A special law ordered that the houses of the Jews, in order to distinguish them from those of the Catholics, had to be given Roman numbers.
Until the year 1787, the Israelitic families had no family names, so that, for example, there lived in Kolodeje a merchant, who was only called Abraham and his wife Chaja; in House X, there lived a bootmaker Abraham with his wife Ester and two sons Abraham and Jakob and daughter Ester, in House XXXII a merchant Markus Simon with his wife Perle and his son Lebl, in House XXXV the policeman Abraham Lebl, in House XVI the tailor Salomon Thomas, in House III the clerk Jacob Markus with his wife Chana and Aron Herschl, in House LX Marcus Michal with his wife Rifka, in House VI the lawyer Simon Refrist with Mirian and the second inhabitant was the teacher Simon Joffe, etc.
There were altogether 85 houses in Kolodeje with Roman numbers, all of them inhabited by Jews. Since every Jewish family had many children, the houses were overcrowded. During the 18th and 19th Centuries, 600 - 700 Jews lived in Kolodeje.
In order to avoid mistakes, it was decreed that every house father had to give his family a surname (Decree of 23. July 1787, Blasek, Volume V, page 425). The same decree indicated that the names unconditionally had to have a German sound and could never be changed again. A choice of names was offered which had to be followed strictly. Nevertheless, everyone could select from the list a name which they liked best.
From the first of January 1788, records had also to be kept in German. This stage - the socalled Joseph Period - was altogether directed strongly against Czech tradition. The motto of this period was:
One realm, one language, and this language is German.
Certain deviations from this decree, as concerns the choice of surnames, with some Israelites adopting also Czech names, arose mostly for economic, that is, business reasons. However, these were rare cases. (Cf. the Court Decree of 12th November. 1787, according to which such transgressions were punished.)
Since this time, there exist in the records the names of the families which are known today.
For a convenient survey, the names of the owners of houses with Roman numbers in the year 1800 are presented below with the names of the Jewish owners and the names of today's owners with Arabic house numbers

Among the faithful, probably the District Rabbi Samuel Lob Kander and the Rabbi Jacob Mahler received special esteem. The Jews erected on the local cemetery a monument in Gothic style to Rabbi mahler with the inscription:
Jacob Mahler,District Rabbi of the Budweis and Tabor districts, died 29th of thr month Adaru in the year 5267 (1867).
He loved his country and was as devout as our ancestors. He was active in Kalady and in the districts Tabor and Budweis from 1817 tyo 1867. He was known as a great scholar and bible researcher. His wisdom was outstanding and his knowledge greater than that of the other scholars; he was esteemed as a son of the parish, in which he was active. Amen.
Rest here in the house of God
Initially, the Jewish cemetery was quite small, but it was extended later on. Some of the monuments on the graves display Hebrew inscriptions, the later ones are in German and the latest in Czech. As regards their form, the old monuments are plain plates, the newer ones have tastefull decorations. The monument of the family Pisecky was built in Italy and transported to Kalady. It is made out of beautiful marble.
A black decorated carriage, the work of a local artisan, transported the bodies of the dead. On the southern slope of the cemetery, there grew three ancient oak trees. However, what the weather could not destroy, the hoe of the fisherman Womacka has completed. It was also the fault of the greedy head of the Jewish community Kolodeje ros hakohol Adolph Späth. On Karwednesday, when everyone should become aware that he is ash and becomes ash, these trees looked for the last time from their height onto the cemetery covered with snow. The sound of the saws informed the entire neighbourhood that the witnesses of the founding of the one hundred years old cemetery no longer existed.
Memento mori!
We will now look back 120 years to the Jewish hospital in House II. It was established by the testament of the widow Cecilie Lustig. After her death, the entire building was to become a hospital. We cannot ascertain today how it functioned and when it perished. House XXXV was in the possession of the community. It was inhabited by people, who received money from the Jewish community as well as by beggars. (It is today an inn underneath the synagogue.)
For example, in 1784, it housed the Parish policeman and synagogue servant Löbl Abraham, the teacher (Buchr) Mendel with his wife Diene, Sekl Joachim with his wife Sarah, Marcus Michl with his wife Rifka, Joachim Samson with his wife Chaja and, last of all, Benedikt Isak, a cerain poor man, called the bundle carrier by everyone; he was not able to conduct on his own a business and therefore was engaged in fetching for his more lucky fellow-believers to their stores in Kolodeje material, they had bought in the neighbourhood. The reward for his carrying effort was small, but he was frequently rewarded for it by swearing. Although the invective bechaijm chamour - stupid ass - fitted well the poor bundle carrier, it was hardly in harmony with God's command:
Love thy neighbour like yourself: Voohafto lerejecho komoncho.
I am sure that it will be quite interesting to talk briefly about the mode of construction of the Jewish buildings. The houses did not have a yard. Most attention was given to the largest room, called the magazine. In the magazine, every balbos - family father - in Kalady spent most of his life. Such magazines, in which in most cases the entire fortune was held, were vaulted and also otherwise well protected against fire.
Here is an example how such a construction took place: In 1807, at the time of the Duke Karl Bratislaus the office of the Chairman in Kolodeje sold to Elias Mautner a building site on the meadow beside the road to Moldautein for 120 florins.
Mautner had promised that he would, in addition, pay 10 florins annually into the office of the administration (that is, 2 florins 30 Kreuzer every quarter ). The bricklaying work was allotted to Jacob Bunes; moreover, there worked at the site the carpenter - art expert secmajsti - Jacob Sobisek. The brick work including materials cost 1100 florins, the carpenter received 317 florins and for the two ovens Mautner paid 29 florins.
The layout of the House XLII was recorded and signed by the higher adminstrator Kuhl, Justice Frauenfeld and Actuarian Parizek in the presence of the Village Mmayor Zakostelecky. The record was presented to the court of justice of the Eestate Kalady for entry into the register.
This court of justice operated in Kalady until 1850 and its last head was the powerful adminstrator Thomas Wurm.
The handing over of the register to the newly established district centre in Moldautein and the transit from the times of the Robot and subservance to the times of civil liberty was noted after 1848 in the register by a lapidary conclusion:
Concluded Kalady 2.6.1850
Josef Ptacek
This was the last line under the patrimonial power of the law.
The Jewish holidays were always quite exhilirating. The duration of a celebration could not be measured in hours, but days. The autumn festival seminy aceres and simchas thora, which is similar to our church festival, started already the evening before with a festive procession and illumination of the entire parish. A procession with many people moved through the streets, carrying coloured flags and accompanied by a strong Turkish band; many inhabitants of Kalady moved about happily and excitedly.
On the next day, during the simchas thora, dedicated completely to the goddess Terpsichora, people danced until the first cocks crow.
Then again, at the time of the Purim, similar to our carneval, it became very noisy.
Old and young people, men, women, roken, balbos, naar, besulch and isch (old man, family father, young fellow, maid and married woman), all in a colourful crowd, most of them in biblical clothes, formed groups which represented scenes from the bible.
The serious scenes vanished and in the evening followed humorous ones, which had rather little in common with the bible.
What about Jewish marriages? They did not only concern the marrying couple, but the entire parish, indeed for two days and nights. Prior to the wedding, a joyful engangement took place within the family with congratulations in the form of ancient customs. A cup was wrapped in a very pure cloth and shattered while people shouted Mazltov! Mazltov! (God bless).
The fragments of the cup, called kchaleserbile and supposed to bring good luck, were not only presented to the chusm (bridegroom), but also to the kchale (bride) and all people present (of course, only in as far as there were enough fragments). It happened frequently that, for example, there were twenty guests, but only half as many fragments. In that case, only the baldover (rich and highly esteemed) received one and a poor devil just did not receive anything. Depending on the number of the fragments, the future of the marrying couple was predicted to become lucky or less lucky.
There were no weddings without a noisy band. Already on the eve, the band moved through the town and played in front of the houses of other wedding candidates. The female friends of the bride visited her and accompanied her with music to an inn, where the assembled parish danced and amused itself, while the bride returned home, because she was indispensable at the festive table among the friends of her family.
On the wedding day, the bride sat in a specially prepared armchair and let her beloved decoration - her tress - be removed according to an old custom; instead of it, a decorated bonnet was placed on her head. After this ceremony, while the band played, the married women guided the bride to the synagogue. Immediately on return of the band, also the bridegroom was conducted there by the men.
"Scholem aleichem" called the poor and begging sons of Israel, who had assempled in front of the synagogue and into the outstretched hands of which the wealthy Jews threw many small coins.
Immense excitement was caused among the locals by the recall of the laws, unfavourble to the Jews. In fact, during the Sixties of the 19th century, all laws and rules, by which the Jews lacked freedom, were declared invalid and all Jews became equivalent to other citizen of the country and therefore could change their place of residence, marry, acquire wealth and their real estates had no longer to be entered in special registers, socalled Jew-registers at the District Courts. The natural result of this event was that all Kalady Jews sold as fast as possible their property; if they could not get rid of it, they left behind their houses and magazines, made out of stone, and emigrated to all parts of the world.
Most of them were lucky and reached undreamed wealth, only a small number of them lived and died in poverty in the wide world. Emigration out of Kalady became an epidemic and involved the young as well as the old. In just a few years, 660 people left Kolodeje, halving the population.
But we shall let the numbers speak for themselves. In 1857, there lived 1327 people in the 150 houses of the parish Kolodeje. There were 127 Christian and 141 Jewish familes. The number of people with the Israelitic Religion was 679, of those with the Christian religion 648.
After the emigration, only a few families remained which eventually reduced to three. At the present time live here the families Radok, Spaeth and Kohn, altogether 10 persons.
Looking at the larger fortunes of the local Jews - and also the excess of the number of Jewish family members - as well as the fact that the civil rights were distributed according to possessions, so that, for example, the right to vote depemds not as today on democratic rules but on wealth, we arrive at the interesting insight that after the year 1848, although for three decades all power in the parish was in the hands of the Jews, nevertheless formally the power was represented by a Christian mayor.
However, the office of the first parish councillor and the commissioner of police always remained in the hands of the Israelites.
I am wondering whether those suddenly enriched compatriots from Kolodeje or their successors, those millionaires of Hungary, Lower- and Upper-Austria, England and Italy they still think back to the two small settlements on the banks of the Luznice, where their great-grand-mothers bore their children, worried or rejoiced, died and dreamed the eternal dream? Do they recall the small semitic island in the Czech sea, where the magic confession schema Israel! Adonnaj elouhejno, adonnaj echod (Hear Israel, the Lord is our God, the Lord alone) gave their ancestors the strength of mind and endurement in a greater measure than to any other people?
They do not recall this any more. They forgot soon completely. But there came the time when they still remembered, even had to remember. At the historic moment when the Czech Republic arose, remembrances came flying from abroad to the small valley of the quiet river Luznice. The compatriots demanded from Kolodeje their local registration (for material reasons) in order to document that they belonged to Kolodeje and were therefore Czechoslovak citizen.
But also this brief recall perished soon through the wave of forgetting in the noise of the foreign capitals.

Looking for different match-winners in different games: RR Director Sangakkara
Rajasthan Royals, who is placed fifth in the IPL points table, will begin the second leg of IPL by taking on Punjab Kings on September 21.

Rajasthan Royals Director of Cricket Kumar Sangakkara wants to see different players of his side becoming match-winners in different games as it looks forward to the resumption of the IPL season in the UAE.
The Royals, who is placed fifth in the IPL points table, will begin the second leg of IPL by taking on Punjab Kings on September 21. Commenting on what he expects from his players as they aim to make it to the playoffs, Sangakkara said, "What I want to see from them is their best efforts - competing as hard and for as long as possible to create opportunities to take games by the scruff of their neck and win them - that's the real key.
"If one player can win us the odd game here and there, different players become those match-winners in different games, and that's really what you're looking for in terms of formulating a side winning," he said in an RR release.
Having stayed in touch with the team during the off-season, Sangakkara said he got a lot of feedback from the players.
"I expect them to always challenge the plans we set for them and question as to why they're doing something, or if they have a better alternative. I think that's the real way we can challenge each other as coaches and players to get better," said the 43-year-old Sri Lankan legend.

"And I'm genuinely very happy to note that our players are excelling at that. I really love the energy and the attitude of all the players at the Royals, especially the younger Indian guys, who are all very keen to learn and very confident in their abilities." The former captain is under quarantine in his hotel room here with his family.
"The first phase of the season had both positives and negatives for our team. It was a bit of a mixed bag with some injuries and pull-outs, but those are very understandable situations where you must support the players." Players like Jos Buttler, Ben Stokes and Jofra Archer have pulled out due to different reasons, including injury-related.
Sangakkara referred Jaydev Unadkat as a great example of hard work and determination.
"Earlier this year, I was particularly impressed with JD (Jaydev Unadkat), because we all know that he has gone through some difficult phases in his career but I think he really stepped up during the first phase of IPL 2021."
"His bowling was outstanding, and that just goes to show that you can come back from a setback and start doing well if you put in the work." On Sanju Samson's captaincy, Sangakkara said, "I really think Sanju Samson does well when he's Sanju Samson. He's a bright young man. He's got a balanced head on his shoulders, and I like the way he keeps everything very simple, clear and direct.
"His captaincy was very impressive given he had to take over at a tough time without a full-strength squad."

IND vs SA Test series: Faltering in the Final Frontier


Although more people may complain about the weather, apparently some number of people also complain to their elected officials about the phenomenon of TV commercials which startle them by blaring out at a loudness higher than the surrounding program material. Preventing the loud-ad phenomenon is not as easy as it sounds, because television programs naturally contain a wide dynamic range of loudness due to program content, dramatic progression and creative choice; and processing all TV sound into a dull monotone hardly seems desirable. Thus, after years of studied avoidance by the FCC and legislators, the U.S. Congress has now kicked the issue over to engineers where it probably belongs.
In legislation sponsored by Silicon Valley representative Anna Eshoo, Congress has adopted the Commercial Advertisement Loudness Mitigation Act (CALM Act), which addresses the issue by giving the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) a one-year deadline to simply adopt by reference, as-is and without change, an existing industry technical standard ("Recommended Practice: Techniques for Establishing and Maintaining Audio Loudness for Digital Television"), known as standard A/85 of the Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) which developed the overall technical standards for digital television. Upon FCC adoption of the A/85 standard, all cable operators, satellite and other multi-channel video programming distributors, and television broadcast stations, will be required to use the A/85 standard for loudness in TV commercials, unless they have obtained a waiver on good cause shown to the FCC. (CALM Act, S.2847, 111th Congress, 2nd Session, 2010) The A/85 standard may be found at: http://www.atsc.org/cms/index.php/standards/recommended-practices/185-a85-techniques-for-establishing-and-maintaining-audio-loudness-for-digital-television.

Presently November 2021 | A month of traditions, cheerful feasts and holidays
"November comes
And November goes,
With the last red berries
And the first white snows.
With night coming early,
And dawn coming late,
… ice in the bucket
And frost by the gate.
The fires burn
And the kettles sing,
And earth sinks to rest
Until next spring."
Elizabeth Coatsworth

Welcome to November e-column
About the month of November
As we step closer to the winter solstice in the northern hemisphere, the southern hemisphere welcomes the sun and the rising temperatures.
With the onset of winter chills, and as we settle in for the slow dance and the grace of winter time, Presently November takes a brief look at the origins of November and what it meant, festivals and celebrations that brings autumn and winter together to their feasting table, along with November's birthstone, birth flower and lores.
Origins of November
November is the eleventh month of the year and has thirty days. For many of us, the month marks the beginning of the winter even though the winter solstice does not occur till 21st December.
The month of November takes its name from the Roman word "novem" which means "nine". It was the nineth month in the Roman calendar.
For some, the month of November may not be pleasant! The Anglo-Saxons referred to November as "Wind monath", reflecting the cold winds that began to blow at this time of year. They also called the month, "Blod monath" to reflect the slaughtering of cattle for winter food. Also known as the "Sombre November" by the poet, T.S. Eliot.
I think the "feeling" of November in the early nineteenth century was well described by Sir Walter Scott, in his poem, Marmion in 1808. He wrote:
"November's sky is chill and drear; November's leaf is red and sear"
Traditionally, the month begins with festivals, celebrations and cheerful feasts. If you recall from the last e-column, end of October signals the end of harvest and this flows into the beginning of November, marking the end of harvest and beginning of winter.
Festivals, Celebrations and Traditions in November
November 1 — All Saints' Day
All Saints Day is a solemn day of the Catholic Church. This holy day is also known as Feast of All Saints or Feast of All Hallows and is celebrated annually. On this day, Christians remember "saints" who are 'men of goodwill', great ones along with forgotten ones who have died throughout time. Saints are outstanding Christians, of both men and women, from all ages and walks of life. All honoured by the church.
All Saints Day was previously known as All Hallows Day. 'Hallow' meaning 'saint' or a 'holy person'. The feast day started on the previous evening, the eve of All Hallows (Hallowe'en).
All Saints Day is an important day in Catholicism. In 835 AD, the Roman Catholic Church made the day a church holiday.
November 2 — All Souls' Day
All Souls' Day is another important day in the Roman Catholic Church. It is a day dedicated to remembering all those who have departed. Families visit graves of their loved ones, lay flowers or have their names read out during Mass.
Tradition and 'Souling' on All Souls' Day
An old known custom, which began well before the Reformation on this day, is for poor Christians to offer prayers for the wealthier dead in return for money or food. This tradition changed somewhat in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, where 'souling' became the new custom. Similar to Caroling at Christmas, children go 'souling' requesting for alms or soul cakes. They would go around singing the following song:
"A soul, a soul, a soul cake.
Please good missus a soul cake.
An apple, a pear, a plum or a cherry,
Any good thing to make us merry.
Up with your kettle and down with your pans
Give us an answer, and we'll be gone
Little Jack, Jack sat on his gate
Crying for butter to butter his cake
One for St. Peter, two for St Paul,
Three for the man who made us all."
What is a Soul Cake?
A soul cake is a simple 'cake' made with butter, sugar, eggs, flour and mixed spice. It looks like a hot cross bun but has no currants or cross on top
Collectively, All Saints Day and All Souls' Day are known as Hallowtide.
November 5 — Guy Fawkes/Bonfire Night
One of the most fun and celebrated day in the British calendar is 5th of November!. It was the day in 1605 when Parliament was saved from Guy Fawkes in the Gunpowder Plot. A four-hundred year tradition continues with effigies of Guy Fawkes thrown into a large bonfire. This day is also accompanied by spectacular displays of fireworks, and food.

November 11 – St Martin's Day or Armistice Day
Traditionally, St Martin's Day was celebrated with fairs and bountiful feasts. Known as well as Martinmas, this day was also a day when autumn wheat seedling was completed. Farm labourers were treated to cakes and ale feast. Some farm labourers would seek new jobs for post winter.
Traditional special cakes on Feast of St Martin are Hopper Cakes and Beef makes the customary meat dish.
However, since 1918, celebratory events on November 11 had almost disappeared. Replaced with a poignant Day of Remembrance (Armistice Day) dedicated to the millions of soldiers who died in the First World War, then the Second World War and in other wars.
22 November — St Cecilia's Day
A patron saint of musicians, St Cecilia heard heavenly music in her heart during her marriage ceremony. She is represented with an organ. St Cecilia's story is found in the 'Second Nun's Tale' of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. She is a Roman martyr of the third century and was venerated by Pope Gelasius.
The Legend of St Cecilia
According to legend, Cecilia was a Roman noble who was given in marriage to a pagan, Valerian. She was close to God and prayed often. She fasted, and prayed to the saints, angels and virgins to guard her virginity.
On the night of her wedding, she told her husband that she had taken a vow of virginity and she is protected by an angel. Valerian asked to see the angel. Cecilia said he would but he needed to be baptized first. Valerian was baptized by Pope Urbanus and upon his return home, he found an angel by her side. When Valerian brother, Tibertius heard of his baptism and the angel, he too wanted to be baptized. Thereafter, both brothers dedicated their lives to burying the saints who were murdered by the chief of the city, Almachius. Both brothers were eventually arrested and executed.
Cecilia spent her time preaching and converting people to Christianity. Many were baptized by Pope Urbanus. She also distributed her wealth to the poor. This enraged Almachius.
Cecilia was arrested and was ordered to be burnt but she did not die. Almachius then ordered her death by an executioneer. She was struck three times but the executioneer was unable to decapitate her. Cecilia was left bleeding and lived for three days. When she died, she was buried by Pope Urbanus and his deacons.
Her remains were exhumed in 1599 and she was found to be immaculate, draped in a silk veil and a gold embroidered dress. A sweet flower-like scent was also reported as coming from the coffin. Officials did not make any further examinations.
Church of Santa Cecilia in Trastevere
St Cecilia's remains were moved and placed under the high altar at the Church of Santa Cecilia in Trastevere, which was originally founded in the third century by Pope Urbanus. It is believed that the church was built on the site of the house where St Cecilia lived. This church was rebuilt in 1599 by Cardinal Paolo Emilio Sfondrati, nephew of Pope Gregory XIV.

Thanksgiving — Last Thursday in November
Thanksgiving is a day to give thanks for the blessings of the harvest and the year so far. In addition, it has all the elements of a perfect holiday where families gather to enjoy a feast! Every family has their own traditions at Thanksgiving but generally, the dishes encompass roast turkey, turkey stuffing, mashed potatoes, green beans, corn, cornbread, pumpkin pie, cranberry sauce and dinner rolls. Mac and Cheese is a must-have on every Thanksgiving dinner table! There are other side dishes as well such as sweet potato casserole and glazed carrots.
Thanksgiving is celebrated on the fourth Thursday in the month of November. In some countries such as the US, Canada, Grenada and St Lucia, Thanksgiving day is also a national holiday.
November 30 — St Andrews Day
This day is dedicated to celebrating St Andrew, the patron saint of Scotland.
Stir Up Sunday
stirring-up the Christmas pudding mix
The Sunday before Advent is known as 'Stir Up Sunday.' On this day, it is customary for every member in the family to take a turn at stirring the Christmas pudding, whilst also making a wish.
About Christmas Pudding
A Christmas Pudding is traditionally made with thirteen ingredients. This is to represent Christ and his disciples.
The pudding mixture is always stirred from east to west, honouring the three wise men who visited baby Jesus. While stirring, each family member is to make a secret wish.
Often, a coin is added to the pudding mixture and cooked. It is meant to bring wealth to whoever found it on their plate. Traditionally, the coin was an old silver sixpence. A ring may also be added to foretell a marriage.
Origins of 'Stir Up Sunday'
Stir Up Sunday has its origins in the Church of England's Book of Common Prayer of 1548. The words 'Stir Up' were the opening words of the prayer for the day but has since been adapted. It is now a prayer after communion at the Church of England on the Sunday before Advent:
"Stir-up, we beseech thee,
O Lord, the wills of thy faithful people;
that they, plenteously bringing forth the fruit of good works,
may of thee be plenteously rewarded;
through Jesus Christ, our Lord, Amen."
Weather lores in November
As autumn blends into winter, nature prepares for the cold ahead …
And the dead leaves lie huddled and still,
No longer blown hither and thither;
The last known lone aster is gone;
The flowers of the witch-hazel wither …
Robert Frost (1874-1963)
There are a number of weather lores surrounding this transition month:
"If ducks do slide at Martinmas
At Christmas they will swim;
If ducks do swim at Martinmas
At Christmas they will slide"
"Ice before Martinmas,
Enough to bear a duck,
The rest of Winter,
Is sure to be but muck!"
"A warm November is the sign of a bad winter"
If St Martin's Day is fair, dry and cold, the cold in winter will not last long.
If the leaves of the trees and grapevines do not fall before St Martin's Day, a cold winter may be expected
"As high as the weeds grow,
So will the bank of snow."
"If the geese on St Martin's Day stand on ice, they will walk in mud on Christmas"
"There's no better month in the year to cut wood than November"

November Quotes
Take time to enjoy the moments this month with these beautiful November quotes:
"Fall has always been my favorite season. The time when everything bursts with its last beauty, as if nature had been saving up all year for the grand finale."
"I cannot endure to waste anything so precious as autumnal sunshine by staying in the house."
"November at its best—with a sort of delightful menace in the air."
Anne Bosworth Greene
There are two birthstones in November. Citrine and Topaz.
Symbolising honour, love and affection, topaz is also believed to give the wearer increased intellect and strength. It is said to calm anger and balance emotions as well as bring wisdom and longevity.
The remarkable Topaz is generally found in igneous rocks and is colourless. However, impurities can turn it to various hues. Yellow and Amber are the traditional tones. Blue topaz is rare and the ones commonly available are often treated. The most valuable topaz is the reddish orange with pink undertones.
Citrine comes in the form of pale yellow to dark amber. Natural citrines are rare and the ones commonly found has been treated with heat.
Similar to topaz, citrine offer the ability to stay calm. In addition, it is regarded to heal, protect against snake venom and encourage prosperity.
November birth flower
Symbolising the vibrant colours of autumn, the chrysanthemum is November's birth flower.
Passionately known as "mums", the name originates from the Greek word, "chrys" which means "golden" and "anthemion", meaning "flowers".
Chrysanthemums are native to Asia and its history dates back to the fifteenth century. Both the Chinese and Japanese cultures consider chrysanthemums to represent youth. It had been suggested that chrysanthemums be used as an object of meditation.
MUMs come in many colours and some are said to hold meanings which you may like to know:
Red mums mean "I love you"
White mums mean "innocence, purity and pure love."
Best Astronomy events in November
There are a number of astronomical actions in November, but the Partial Lunar Eclipse is said to be best.
The partial lunar eclipse takes place on November 19, and is visible across Western Europe and Western Africa, all of East Asia, Oceania as well as North and South America. It will begin at 07:18 UTC/GMT to 10:47 UTC/GMT.

The impact of climate change is undeniable and sadly, has impacted many countries and all of us. Nevertheless, frost and snow is felt in many parts of the world still and the magic of Christmas, continues 🙂 Pumpkin pie is delish!!
adewyatt says:
I confess I knew nothing of Cecilia at all so it was interesting to read. Doesn't the history also tell us something about how things, including climate have changed. The idea of snow in December I might find wonderful but is perhaps a dream. And stir it up Sunday is amazing although by now the cake and pudding are being fed their next drizzle of brandy.
I always find Thanksgiving interesting. Although primarily (I think) American it is one tradition I wouldn't mind adopting not least for the pumpkin pie.
Great blog.

WASHINGTON — President-elect Barack Obama signaled on Saturday that he would pursue a far more ambitious plan of spending and tax cuts than anything he outlined on the campaign trail, setting the tone for a recovery effort that could absorb and define much of his term.
Mr. Obama said he hoped to sign the stimulus package into law soon after taking office on Jan. 20. He is already coordinating efforts with Democratic leaders in Congress, who have said they will begin work next month.
Advisers to Mr. Obama say they want to use the economic crisis as an opportunity to act on many of the issues he emphasized in his campaign, including cutting taxes for lower- and middle-class workers, addressing neglected public infrastructure projects like roads and schools, and creating "green jobs" through business incentives for energy alternatives and environmentally friendly technologies.
His address, a video of which was made available on YouTube, was part of an effort to calm financial markets roiled by the failure of an outgoing president and a lame-duck Congress to come up with a plan to lift the economy and restore investor confidence.
On Monday, Mr. Obama plans to introduce his economic team, starting with his Treasury secretary, Timothy F. Geithner. News that Mr. Geithner, the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, would get the job helped send the stock market up by nearly 500 points on Friday after days of sharp losses.
Former Treasury Secretary Lawrence H. Summers is to be the director of the National Economic Council in the White House, the president's principal economic adviser and policy coordinator, according to an Obama aide.
The economic team will also include Peter R. Orszag, the head of the Congressional Budget Office, who will be the next White House budget director.
Mr. Summers, who served as a campaign adviser to Mr. Obama, has advocated for a forceful stimulus plan in recent newspaper columns, saying the federal government should be doing more, not less, in areas like health care, energy, education and tax relief. Mr. Obama seemed to echo those thoughts in his radio address.
Mr. Obama's announcement came after market declines and the prospect of a collapse by automakers and other storied companies had sparked growing criticism last week that he was sitting on the sidelines.
Although advisers say they have not begun to fill in the details, Mr. Obama's proposal would go beyond the $175 billion stimulus plan he proposed in October. That included a $3,000 tax credit to employers for each new hire above their current work force and billions in aid to states and cities.
Separately, Democratic leaders in Congress have been calling for a robust economic recovery initiative of up to $300 billion, including major investments in infrastructure to create jobs. President Bush has refused to consider a package so large, but even some conservative economists have said $300 billion is the minimum needed to spur the economy.
"There are no quick or easy fixes to this crisis, which has been many years in the making," Mr. Obama said Saturday. "And it's likely to get worse before it gets better.
Some Republicans might be won over should Mr. Obama decide not to repeal the Bush tax cuts for those making more than $250,000. By simply letting the cuts expire after 2010, as the law now provides, Mr. Obama would in effect delay the tax increase that high-income taxpayers would have faced in the next year or two under his original plan.
That could have economic and political benefits. Mr. Obama would not be open to the charge from Republicans and other critics that he is raising taxes in a recession, which many believe is counterproductive. His Republican presidential rival, Senator John McCain of Arizona, had raised that argument during the campaign.
By letting the tax cuts expire, Mr. Obama would get the benefit of higher revenues in 2011 and beyond to help finance his promised health care plans without having to propose raising taxes on the affluent and without the Democratic majority in Congress having to take a vote on a tax increase.
Also, Mr. Obama is under far less pressure in the short term to raise revenues to help finance campaign promises because the seriousness of the economic crisis has brought bipartisan agreement that the government must do whatever it can to spur economic growth.
Mr. Bush and the Republicans who controlled Congress in 2001 agreed that his tax cuts would expire after 10 years as a way of minimizing the projected revenue losses in future years, to comply with Congressional budget rules and to help pass the legislation. The president repeatedly called for making the tax cuts permanent, but no action was taken.
The 2.5 million jobs that Mr. Obama promises to save or create over two years is a gross number. With about 1.2 million jobs lost this year, and more projected to be lost in 2009, Obama advisers expect that job losses will outnumber new jobs next year. For 2010, the advisers are projecting the reverse if Mr. Obama's plans become law.
Nearly every spending program and tax cut that Mr. Obama proposed during the campaign could well end up in the stimulus package, advisers indicated. For example, Mr. Obama's proposals to invest in energy alternatives and advanced "green" technologies will most likely be part of the package, rather than proposed later in his administration.
In effect, the stimulus will be seen by the Obama administration as "a down payment," as one adviser put it, on Mr. Obama's entire domestic platform, allowing him to try to take maximum advantage of the first year of his presidency. Traditionally, the first year is the one in which modern presidents have achieved most of their major victories.
Some economists welcomed Mr. Obama's plan, though they said it was difficult to assess without full details. The focus on creating and saving jobs made sense, they said, given the deterioration of the job market.
"The unemployment rate is soaring," possibly into the double digits, said Kenneth S. Rogoff, an economics professor at Harvard.
Republicans in the next Congress could still block a big stimulus package in the Senate, as Mr. Obama seemed to recognize.
"I know that passing this plan won't be easy," Mr. Obama said. "I will need and seek support from Republicans and Democrats, and I'll be welcome to ideas and suggestions from both sides of the aisle.

'Bistro Pierre' - c1858
Fishergate, Preston, Lancashire, England, UK
Formerly a 19th Century Baptist Church, built c1858.
"Fishergate Baptist Church in Fishergate, Preston, Lancashire, England was an active Baptist church for more than 150 years, but is now redundant. The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building, the lowest of its three grades of listing.
Fishergate Baptist Church is built in sandstone with slate roofs, and is in Italian Romanesque style. It has a rectangular plan, is in two storeys with a basement, and has a symmetrical entrance front facing the street. Eight steps lead up to a double doorway, each door having an arch in Mozarabic style, and both contained in a round-headed arch. Flanking the doorway are two round-arched windows on each side. The doorways and windows have pilasters with carved imposts, and above them is a cornice. The upper part of the entrance front contains corner pilasters and a pediment, the pediment containing a large wheel window and two smaller ones, all with hood moulds.
The rear of the church is gabled; the gable also contains a large wheel window, and two two-light mullioned windows. Along the sides of the church are gabled projections, each containing a pair of windows. At the southeast corner of the church is a tower. In the ground floor of the tower is a round-arched doorway, in the first stage is a single lancet window, and in the second stage are pairs of lancets; all of these are in Mozarabic style. On each side of the third stage there is a clock face with a pair of oculi above, all with hood moulds. Over these is a cornice with carvings of birds projecting from the corners, and a tall pyramidal roof.
Steeply pointed arcades inside the church are carried on square piers. Doors at the far end of the building are flanked by foliated shafts, and a gallery with cast iron balusters. The church also contains monuments to members of the Sellrers family, dating from the late 19th century. The two-manual pipe organ was made by Henry Ainscough of Preston in 1870, and repaired by the same company in 1954; its case is decorated with putti." - From Wikipedia

The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) released its monthly Employment Situation Report, showing that the United States economy is continuing to boom with a strong labor market. Total nonfarm payroll employment in March rose by 196,000 jobs (see figure), beating market expectations (175,000). The month of March continued the longest streak of growth on record (102 months). Job gains in February were revised up by 13,000, and January jobs were revised up by 1,000 for a cumulative increase of 14,000 jobs. In total, the economy has added over 5.5 million jobs since President Donald J. Trump was elected.
The March jobs report reflects a sharp rebound in job growth, suggesting that February's revised outcome (+33K) was a blip rather than a trend. Since the President was elected, job gains have surpassed 100,000 jobs in 26 of the 28 months. The average jobs growth in the past 12 months is a robust 211,000 jobs and jobs growth in the past 6 months has averaged 207,000 jobs. Both the 12-month and 6-month averages remain above the 2017 average of 179,000 jobs gained per month.
Job growth in March was largest in the education and health services industry, which added 70,000 jobs. Since the President's election, the manufacturing industry has added 480,000 jobs and 209,000 jobs in the past 12 months.
The report indicates that strong jobs growth is being coupled with wage growth. Nominal average hourly earnings rose by 3.2 percent over the past 12 months, marking the 8th straight month that that year-over-year wage gains were at or above 3 percent. Prior to 2018, nominal average hourly wage gains had not reached 3 percent since April 2009. Taking inflation into account, there is evidence that real wages are also growing. Based on the most recent Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index data from January, inflation in the past year was 1.4 percent, and based on the most recent Consumer Price Index (CPI-U) price data from February, the inflation in the past year was 1.5 percent. (March inflation data is not yet available for either series).
A separate household survey released by BLS shows that the unemployment rate remained steady at 3.8 percent in March—and marks the 13th consecutive month at or below 4 percent. The unemployment rate for adult women (20+) ticked down to 3.3 percent and re-achieved its lowest rate since 1953.
The labor force participation rate – which tracks how many people are working or looking for work—edged down by 0.2 percentage point to 63 percent, but 0.3 percentage point above the rate when the President was elected in November 2016. The labor force participation rate for prime-age adults (ages 25-54) which largely avoids the demographic effects of the aging population held steady at 82.5 percent—1.1 percentage points above the rate at the President's election in November 2016.
A thriving economy stimulated by pro-worker policies is pulling workers off the sidelines. In spite of the continued low unemployment rates over the past year, there is still what economists call "labor slack"—or a pool of potential workers on the sidelines. This allows for continued employment and overall economic growth as workers reenter the labor force. In the first quarter of 2019, 71.4 percent of workers entering employment came from out of the labor force rather than from unemployment.
The March employment data depict an American economy that remains strong and booming with a continued low unemployment rate, historic trends in job growth, and rising wages.

Q: HTML 5 offline applicatin manifest content type I am creating HTML 5 offline application example.
I choose manifest file like this :
<html manifest="Configuration/WMP.manifest">

and manifest file is like this :
CACHE MANIFEST

# Build 2012-02-03

CACHE:
source/styles/examples-offline.css
source/styles/examples.css
source/js/Custom.js
source/js/jquery.min.js

*Done correctly ?

*How do I check that sample works right in my local system ?

*I read that a manifest file must be served with the mime-type text/cache-manifest. where should I set this mime-type for manifest file ? I use basic HTML file and I don't use IIS or Apache webserver

A: This is incorrect:
NETWORK:
http://*
https://*

This would try to match the exact URL http://*, which is an invalid URL.
You can only use the * character as a wildcard when it's on its own line. For example, this would match any resource that hasn't been explicitly listed under the CACHE or FALLBACK directives:
NETWORK:
*

Make sure you're serving the file with the text/cache-manifest content type. This used to be explicitly required by the specification, and current browsers have it implemented that way.

I use basic HTML file and I don't use IIS or Apache webserver

Then what do you use to serve up the file? Are you reading it locally, through the file:// scheme?

To confirm everything is working, open up the page in Chrome, for example, and look at the Console.

By the way, there's a validator for application cache manifests: http://manifest-validator.com/

Cody Smith chats with a graduate student in his lab.
Inside the central nervous system (CNS), a region that includes the brain and spinal cord, it is the job of certain cells, called microglia, to clean up that cellular debris. Microglia have counterparts called macrophages that serve similar function outside the CNS in the peripheral nervous system (PNS), the region that contains most of the sensory and motor nerves. Scientists have long believed that microglia are restricted to the CNS, and in cases of injury the two cells clean up their own sides of the highway, so to speak.
Once inside the peripheral nervous system, Smith said, microglia do their job of clearing cellular debris at the point of injury, but they return to the CNS with that debris, and could potentially carry it straight to the brain. The study also showed the microglia return to the CNS in an altered state, which makes the results of this research of particular concern to the study of post-injury development and function.

Out of responsibility for the future
For the creation of our educational campus in Templin, a total of €100 million are needed, which must be generated from private donations and public funding. Federal and state funds are therefore essential for us.
On our educational campus, we will bring together students from all over Europe and the world in a democratic school and simultaneously create many jobs in Templin. est meets every condition to becoming an important part of the educational landscape in eastern Germany.
A commitment to est is an excellent opportunity to advance the European idea in a very practical way. You can support educational innovations and the improvement of educational opportunities for all. In addition, your commitment helps foster a structurally weak region.
We will act as your reliable partner in the planning and implementation of this project. Professional accounting and documentation are a matter of course for us. In addition, your support will be visibly communicated in all of our communication measures.
A historic monument brought back to life
The complex of buildings of the former Joachimsthalsches Gymnasium Templin with school buildings, boarding school, farmyard, boathouse and landscaped gardens was built between 1910 and 1912 by the Berlin government architect and master planner Fritz Bräuning. Following its use as a school and training centre, this complex of buildings has been vacant since 1996 and must be saved from decay. The original building fabric has been preserved.
The ensemble is a monument of national significance. For its use as a future-oriented school, we are also planning new buildings, such as a makers' space, a gym, an auditorium and a canteen.
