This Palm Sugar (น้ําตาลปี๊บ, nam tan bpeep in Thai, made from the borassus flabellifera palm) is a type of sugar with a distinct caramel flavor and is less cloyingly sweet then cane sugar. Use it in recipes calling for palm or coconut sugar. Its intense caramel-like flavor is an integral part of the Thai taste profile, certainly, worth the effort to find and buy it. The darker color and stickier sugars are preferred.
Palm sugar is made by making several slits into the stem of a palm tree, similar to rubber, and collecting the sap. The juice from the sap is boiled in water until the water evaporates and the sugar crystallizes.
To make it easier to measure smash palm sugar with a heavy clever or small kitchen hammer to break into smaller portions for dissolving in hot liquids or grate with a cheese grater. Or try this simple way to soften palm sugar. Place the palm sugar disc in a small bowl with a teaspoon of water and microwave briefly, about 30 seconds depending on your oven. Smash with a spoon until uniform in consistency and then it's ready for adding to recipes. Another suggestion to soften hard palm sugar, is to place dampened paper towels over the sugar in a closed container for a few days - this adds some moisture to the sugar without microwaving, but takes more forethought.
Add to stir-fries, dipping sauces, and desserts. Also palm sugar can be added to herbal teas to treat sore throat, colds, and congestion.
Palm sugar will keep indefinitely in the cupboard. This palm sugar contains 8 pieces of sugar, with no additives (100% palm sugar). Caveat emptor when shopping for palm sugar, as some vendors online are offering inferior blends combined with other types of cheaper sugars.

Ingredients: 100% Coconut sugar. Product of Thailand.

Confidential Restonian Operative "Sarah" shared this exciting YouTube video of an authentic unexplained spontaneous mass breakdanceoff that took place amidst all the skewered food products at the fake downtown gritty urban core during Taste of Reston this past weekend. Not since Lucinda Dickey's seminal performance in this masterwork have unsuspecting suburban audiences been exposed to such master moves -- and the juxtaposition of the specter of overdevelopment as a key plot point in both that 1984 film and modern-day Reston just makes the poppin' and lockin'* all the more resonant.
But enough of our yakking. CRO "Sarah"'s one-word review?
And if that's not gritty enough for you, then there's the lynx on a leash, snapped in its natural environment (near the Gap) by alert Twitter Operative/wildlife photographer "Smellie."
Who knows, maybe it was looking for Swiper.
In reality, a lynx's most natural habitat in RTC wouldn't be The Gap but rather right next to the cougars at Jackson's.
But I think that photo might actually be of an ocicat. A lynx has tufted ears and a bobtail.
"Gritty" isn't the right word. I'd try "dope" or "fresh" as those would make for a more apt review.
Are you sure these two dancers are engaged in a breakdanceoff?
It's look to me like what people do everyday in the parking lot at Comcast's office near the USGS in Reston after turning in their vintage 1980s-era cable boom box upon switching to Fios. Once you drop Comcast you'll be Moonwalking like Michael Jackson...only on Mars.
There's a lady who walks her Ocicats around Petsmart.

Facebook's F8 conference is the company sponsored event that is intended for developers who are vested in the Facebook ecosystem. The company usually introduces new products during this conference and this year's event which is slated to be held tomorrow is not different.There are three products that will be highlighted on the conference: Instant Articles, Live Video and Chatbots.
In the case for ecommerce tools for Messenger, According to the Wall Street Journal, insiders informed the publication that Facebook will introduce ChatBots in Messenger. Apparently these "chatbots will help people order goods or services within Messenger. This is not surprising since it was leaked earlier that they had sent a Chat SDK to developers which will enable them create these bots for Messenger. We have also seen an example of these chatbots in play like the KLM Messenger bot that will enable you to book your ticket and even a boarding pass for your flight.
The second item Facebook is expected to mention is about Live Video. As you know, Facebook has been pushing Live Video hard the past half year and they are not slowing down. Apparently they are expected to reveal more about this service.
Lastly, Facebook will officially launch Instant Articles to all publishers tomorrow in this conference. Currently, the service has been rolled out in some countries and regions and the decision by Facebook to pull the switch to all publishers will usher in the era of fast loading articles. This comes after Google quickly released Accelerated Mobile Pages on February this year.
This will be an important event for Facebook as it continues to establish itself as a news and ecommerce hub for its vast user base. You can sign up to watch the F8 conference here.

Injuries hit men's basketball team hard
by Carla Pennolino
A combination of inexperience playing with one another and untimely serious injuries to key players led to an underwhelming start for the men's basketball team before they captured their first win Saturday.
With eight new additions to the roster, the Knights (1-5, 1-0) struggled to string together a win before they defeated Mercy College last week, 72-68, in their first East Coast Conference game of the season. The team fell to non-conference opponents Daemen, Felician, New Haven and Post University twice out of the gate, but the QC Knights refused to be discouraged, said junior guard George Holmes.
"We are trying to mix in some new guys," said head coach Kirk Peopnakis. "It takes time. Also, we've already had a number of unexpected injuries."
Injuries to starters Holmes and sophomore center Nees Nikovic already impacted and will continue to effect QC. Holmes, with a pulled left hamstring, is expected to return to the court on Dec. 8, but Nikovic, who tore his ACL, might miss the remainder of the very young season.
"It's tough knowing you work so hard to try and bounce back from a tough season only to get hit with something else," said Nikovic. "But I'm definitely going to use this to motivate me and get back on the court as soon as I can."
Junior transfer guard Kevin Nascimento has been a driving force for the scrambling crew. With 48 points and 20 rebounds in his first five games, Nascimento believes that he has his teammates will find success in their near future.
"We've struggled putting together a solid 40 minutes," said Nascimento. "We've had spurts of being a really good team and we need to find a way to collectively put together a whole new game."
The Knights look forward to their next 20 games — especially their conference matches — with enthusiasm, hoping to augment their blemished start.
"We've been working hard everyday at practice," said Nascimento. "I think our best basketball is right around the corner."

On GOV.UK we've been looking at ways of improving our finder pages, like services and news and communications. Finder pages allow users to search for specific kinds of content using facets such as topic and organisations to narrow their results.
Despite this, the component didn't work well at scale. Some of the facets it was used for included hundreds of options, so navigating to the last checkbox using a keyboard or screen reader was a slow task.
This presented problems even when using a mouse or a mobile device, as navigating accurately through so many checkboxes became more difficult as the number of options increased.
Worse still, there was no way to search through the checkboxes. Consider how you might try to find a person. Would they be listed alphabetically by their name, or by their title? What if you only knew their surname? Finding them among so many other people could be difficult.
A few years ago, a team at GDS built an accessible autocomplete. An autocomplete is a text input that behaves like a select element, but you can also type in it to filter the results.
It looked like an ideal replacement for our option selects, as it provided essentially the same functionality but allowed the user to type to filter the available options. This meant that even with a large number of options users would still be able to navigate through them, regardless of how they were using it.
Best of all, it had been built with accessibility in mind, so we could have confidence that it would be usable.
We set to work getting the accessible autocomplete into our finders, by creating a new component and adding the autocomplete code into it. After a bit of work, we had it running, and it was a huge improvement.
The accessible autocomplete in place of an option select in the news and communications finder.
Although the autocomplete was working well, there was one big problem – it only allowed users to select a single option, whereas the 'option select' component that this replaced allowed multiple selections.
Fortunately, a version of the accessible autocomplete existed that allowed multiple selections, but when we switched to using it, we discovered another problem. In single selection mode the user's choice remained in the text box, but in multiple mode the selections were shown beneath it, as there was no room for them in the text box.
The accessible autocomplete operating in single selection mode (top) and multiple selection mode (bottom).
We refer to the user's selected options as 'facet tags'. Clicking a facet tag removes it from the user's selections. This worked well but we had already added facet tags to our finders for the other facets, so with this change there would be a duplication of functionality.
The accessible autocomplete in a finder in multiple selection mode.
If we were to keep the autocomplete's facet tags, we would have a confusing interface. The best option was to remove them and use our own, but it was not immediately obvious that selecting an option in the autocomplete had been successful, as the result was an empty text box.
This problem was worse on mobile, where, due to the stacking of the facets above the search results, our facet tags were often not visible at all, so users had no way of knowing that their autocomplete selections had been successful.
The accessible autocomplete in multiple selection mode on a mobile device, with facet tags hidden to avoid duplication. The user cannot see what they have selected, because it is below the visible area of the screen.
To add to our problems, the accessible autocomplete was intended as an isolated piece of code, meaning that there was no API with which to control it. With the need to be able to remove selections from it without using it directly, we were having to write increasingly complex code in order to manipulate it within our finders.
After much consideration and discussion, we reached the difficult conclusion that the accessible autocomplete wasn't a suitable solution to our problem. It was a hard decision to make – we had already invested considerable time into it and didn't have a better alternative.
We returned to the original option select component to consider the problem. Inspired by the autocomplete, we prototyped adding a text input that would allow users to filter the visible options.
Although the filter control looks simple, we had to consider carefully how to make it perform well and be accessible.
User input is sanitised in order to help users match options more easily; it's case insensitive, it ignores duplicate whitespace, and matches 'and' with '&' and vice versa.
Hidden text is included that announces to screen readers how many matches have been found, how many options are selected, and provides context that something is happening as the user enters text.
Checkboxes that have been checked are always shown regardless of the filter.
The option select component still has a few other minor accessibility issues, but the addition of this filter has improved it enormously. We're still testing and improving it, and you can try it for yourself on our news and communications finder.
There are a few important things to take away from this experience.
If something is inaccessible, this can be a problem for everyone. Finding one checkbox among hundreds isn't a problem only for people using a screen reader – it can be difficult for all of us.
Making something accessible doesn't necessarily require an entirely new approach. Although the autocomplete looked like the better option, in the end a small change to our original component suited our needs better.
An investment of time and effort into something shouldn't make it indispensable. Although we'd spent a lot of time integrating the autocomplete into our finders, it wasn't the best solution to our problem. It can be difficult to discard something, but sometimes it's the right thing to do.
And in the end, although we didn't use it in finders, the autocomplete component was used successfully by another team elsewhere on GOV.UK.

About Holmen Lutheran Church
Holmen Lutheran Church is a people with a rich history moving forward in the hope of following Jesus Christ. Begun in 1907 our congregation has been passing on the faith in Jesus Christ for generations and seeks to continue to be God's hands and feet in the world.
Holmen Lutheran Church is a part of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA). Please visit the ELCA website to see more about what it means to be Lutheran.
A Brief History of Holmen Lutheran Church
The roots of Holmen Lutheran Church can be traced to our Norwegian ancestors who began the congregation over 100 years ago in 1907. The first services were conducted in the Town Hall in Holmen in 1899, and Rev.E. R. Berrum was called as the first pastor in 1906. The following year the cornerstone was placed for the new church building on October 31, and the first services were held in 1908.
When the congregation was incorporated in 1915, it was given the name of Holmen Scandinavian English Lutheran Church. This remained the congregation's name until 1946 when it became the current Holmen Lutheran Church.
On January 22, 1953, the congregation's building was destroyed by a fire of unknown origin. Nearly three years later, a dedication was held for a new church building, the sanctuary we use today. In 1967 the congregation broke ground for the education building added to the church. An elevator was added in 1986 to make the building more accessible, and a freestanding bell tower built in 1993. Recently, the sanctuary was refurbished and air-conditioning installed.
For portions of its history, Holmen Lutheran was aligned with other area congregations and served by the same pastor. One of these was Halfway Creek Lutheran Church, the first home of Luther College, Decorah, Iowa. In 1976 Holmen and Halfway Creek became separate parishes.
As the community and congregation grew, additional staff members were added: a second pastor in 1969, a Director of Education and Youth Ministry in 1988, and a division in this latter position into a Director for Youth Ministries and a Director for Parish Ministries in 2000.
Some of our members remember when Holmen was a village of 600; today it's a growing community of more than 9,000. Our congregation itself has 1,900 baptized members seeking to grow as disciples and to do effective ministry in this exciting and challenging time.

LAPORTE, Ind. — High dollar vintage toys were recently being offered for sale by Auctions by Moldenhauer, LLC. With the three day sale, more than 1,500 lots ranging from board games to monster and Batman items were well represented.
The most fascinating piece at this auction was a store advertising display from 1966. This sign still sported vivid color and the Batmobile was two-dimensional on an orange background. Showing the action of Batman and Robin swinging into the famous wheels from the top, it was an eye-catching piece that let everyone know they could get their official Batmobile scale model hobby kit. All they had to do was "see the back of Burry's packages for details." This sign was made out of a formed plastic and did show a few minor cracks, but was in fabulous condition considering its age. With this one being one of only 10 known to exist, the opening bid was an impressive $700. It kept going up rapidly between the in-house and online bidders; it took an impressive $1,400 to become the new owner of this unique piece of toy memorabilia. The on-scene bidders sent murmurs of appreciation and clapped when it was pronounced sold.
The Phantom of the Opera has always been popular. Hasbro jumped on the money wagon by producing a board game with this name. Put out in 1963, the one offered at this sale was complete. Selling in the original box which was in pretty good shape, this used game just kept going up in price. The internet was jumping with bids as was the auction site. It took $1,300 to become the new owner of this game.
Still selling from the year 1966, a Superman wallet took center stage. This piece was one of only 10 known to exist. Made by National Periodical Publications, this wallet was a bright yellow in color. The thing that made it rare was the fact that it was still sealed in the original packaging. What little boy would receive this for a gift and never bother to take it out of the package? No one will ever know. It could have been a store item that got pushed back and never sold. The story behind it still being packaged was a mystery, but the fact that it was drove the price up. The bidding started fairly low, but kept rising all the way to $700 before it was declared sold.
Odd Ogg was a very rare toy put out in 1962 by Ideal. This one was sealed in the original box and one of a very few known to be still sealed. This toy had one slightly damaged corner on the box but was in great condition. This very comical looking frog would play ball with the kids. This unique toy took the high bid of $550.
A Batman Executive Set was also in high demand. Auctioneer Moldenhauer was bidding on this piece for himself in front of the crowd. "I can remember having this same set on my desk when I was a kid. I was very excited to see it," Moldenhauer laughed. This desk set from 1977 was in the original box. It appeared it had never been taken out. It consisted of a Robin calendar, a Batman pencil sharpener and the always present Joker, who was guarding the stapler. If you pushed down on the TNT the Joker had, the stapler worked. This was a very nice set and the box was in amazing condition. The final bid on this beauty was a nice $400.
Illya Kuryakin was the well-known star of The Man from UNCLE. A sealed action figure of him dated 1965 drummed up some interest. This figure was still in the original box which showed some shelf-wear, but was in pretty good shape. In this condition, Kuryakin brought a high bid of $200. His counterpart, Napoleon Solo, was also sold. Solo had been opened, but was still in great shape. The original box was included along with some accessories. The final bid price on Solo was $120.
An assortment of four small Beatles dolls in played-with condition were very popular. This set of four rubber dolls from 1964 brought a sale price of $200.
Dated 1966, an official Green Hornet and Kato masks made by Arlington still sealed in the original packaging commanded $170 to tuck these treasures away. A 1966 Corgi Green Hornet Black Beauty crime fighting car was sold. It came with a working missile launcher and flying radar scanner with instructions. "This one works because we played with it," Auctioneer Moldenhauer laughed. The final bid price on this tiny car was $225.
Selling for $325, a box of TV Tinykins was in great shape. Containing a variety of tiny characters from the era's television shows, Marx put out this box of 34 pieces in 1962. The figures were all mint as they had never been removed from the package. These were a great collection of memories for the lucky winning bidder.
Some model kits also seemed to be in high demand. A 1964 plastic Aurora Dracula Dragster model kit had been opened, but was complete except for one elusive candle. The final bid price on this model was $225. A 1963 Hawk Weirdos model kit with the Drag Hag sold for $80.
A roto jet gun from the show Lost in Space was offered up. This played with toy was from 1966 also and sold for $250. A dome metal lunch box with thermos from the same show was also offered up. With some paint loss and imperfections, this lunch box brought a high bid of $169.
Monsters were at this auction in many different forms. A group of four monster Soakies, consisting of Wolfman, Creature, Mummy, and Frankenstein were in high demand. This group was all empty, but would have made a great display on a shelf in the bathroom. Soakies were made to entertain kids while they bathed in the soap bubbles that came inside. They represented almost every category for children from their Disney friends to these monster ones offered at this sale. The demand for these is higher now than ever and this grouping of four brought a final bid price of $250.
Herman, Lily, and Grandpa Munster also showed up with green faces. This set of three monsters were made by Kayro in 1964. They brought a high bid of $275 in their played with condition.
This toy auction conducted by Auctions by Moldenhauer was like stepping back in time to the 1960s. Every child's Christmas list item was offered up for sale in this large mix of vintage toys. And it was all fun. The large red button hangs conspicuously on the white wall declaring, "Let the fun begin."

The Double Wild Cherry symbol matches any other symbols when on or within one position of the pay line except for the Triple Wild Cherry symbol. With a cherry slot machine on your premises, customers will not want to leave your establishment. If players acquire a winning combination, they will be paid out a designated amount. Depending on how sophisticated your machine is, you might be able to configure these winnings. So you can choose if you want to wager 1 or 2 coins and how much you want their value to be. It works like many other piggy banks, in that all you have to do is rotate it to release the lever. However, this goes under the assumption that you do not need any special licenses for your slot machine.
Visit Our Help Page. Based on traditional fruit slot machines, with recognisable symbols and sounds characteristic of one-armed bandits, this game offers a truly authentic land-based casino experience. Once you press spin, you will hear the reels spinning and when Bars, Cherries and Sevens line up on the reels with popping sounds and provide payouts, coins will start to fall. This retro game simulates a slot machine, providing the player with 3 reels and only 1 payline.
On the screen, just above the reels, you can see a paytable on the left for bets of 1 credit and on the right side a paytable for bets of 2 credits. All winning combinations with payouts are right in front of you the whole time you play. So you can choose if you want to wager 1 or 2 coins and how much you want their value to be.
Since the payouts for investing 2 coins are double what you would get if you wagered 1, it is advisable to play at maximum bet if you are in pursuit of higher prizes. With 1 coin bet you will get from 2 to 5 coins if any 1, any 2 or any 3 mixed Cherries or Bars land on the payline. If players acquire a winning combination, they will be paid out a designated amount.
Depending on how sophisticated your machine is, you might be able to configure these winnings. Otherwise, the monies will be paid out at random, based on an algorithm determined by the machine. In conclusion, you no longer have to go to Vegas to play a cherry slot machine.
Home models allow you to enjoy the machines from the comfort of your bedroom, while business models allow you to share the fun with others. Best of all, neither version is very expensive.
However, this goes under the assumption that you do not need any special licenses for your slot machine. Usually, this is not a concern for home models, but it could be a problem for businesses. So, to avoid any issues down the road, check the laws of your jurisdiction.
If the slots are legal, you may have to adhere to additional gambling legislation. You may be annoyed with such things, but think about what you will end up gaining. The reels spun very nicely and had that classic feel that I love. The holographic look on the background of the reels really does seem to deliver nicely when it comes to the look and feel of the game, as the colors seem to really pop on the casino floor.
Players looking to play a good quality classic video slot should definitely take a look at playing. The game is one that offers a large amount of paylines for a classic slot, nice graphics and sound, and some potential huge wins that can really make your day. Is Triple Diamonds as bright and shiny as the new fangled video slots out there?

Rotterdam The Hague Airport future-proofing baggage handling with autonomous vehicle technology
Vanderlande's baggage logistics solution FLEET has completed a three-month readiness test in live conditions, following a joint innovation programme involving Rotterdam The Hague Airport and ground handler Aviapartner. Report by Ross Falconer
In line with its progressive approach, Rotterdam The Hague Airport (RTHA) has collaborated with Vanderlande to improve the baggage handling process at the airport, through the use of intelligent automated vehicle technology. In November 2018, Vanderlande's baggage logistics solution FLEET began a three-month readiness test period in live operations at RTHA, with the joint innovation programme also involving ground handler Aviapartner.
Vanderlande's baggage logistics solution FLEET has completed a three-month readiness test in live conditions, following a joint innovation programme involving Rotterdam The Hague Airport and ground handler Aviapartner.
During the three-month readiness period, FLEET was continuously tested in an operational environment. This meant Vanderlande could see how handlers interacted with the FLEET system, and how human factors play a role in the use of FLEET. The company also looked at how the operation with FLEET fitted in with the current processes of the handler and airport, how those processes had to be adjusted for FLEET, and how overall operations were improved with FLEET being implemented.
"The agreement and subsequent trial represents an important milestone for Vanderlande, as it proved the reliability of FLEET in a live environment," says Andrew Manship, Executive Vice President Airports and Member of the Board, Vanderlande. "It also contributed to our main goal, which is to make this solution an essential part of the daily activities at an airport."
Indeed, FLEET will continue to be a part of the live operations at RTHA in the future.
"We are excited about the possibilities that lie ahead," comments Ron Louwerse, Director, Rotterdam The Hague Airport. "By having FLEET commence live operations, we are taking a major step forward and are confident of realising a number of operational benefits. This will help contribute to RTHA's sustainability ambitions in terms of energy usage and will also align with our vision to be more than just an airport, but also a hub for innovation and education."
FLEET is a scalable and flexible solution designed to match airports' growth needs. It also aims to guarantee operational certainty – if a vehicle fails to operate, others can manoeuvre around it, meaning only one bag is affected.
Meanwhile, sustainability is at the heart of the innovation programme. FLEET is said to use 50% less energy than traditional systems. "In a traditional system, conveyors and sorters remain in operation even with a minimal number of bags," Esther Kersten, Director Strategy and Sustainability, explains. "With FLEET, a vehicle only moves when a bag must be transported from check-in to the desired output location. Smart software calculates the most efficient routes, reducing the total distance travelled per bag."
The vehicles store energy inside their batteries, while smart software determines the most optimal charging strategy. This means the energy consumption from the power infrastructure can be optimised. A reduction in peak energy consumption reduces the required power infrastructure of the airport, as well as the infrastructure of the surrounding power grid.
In addition, the energy for the vehicles is generated by solar panels, in order to contribute to an emission-free baggage handling solution for RTHA. Meanwhile, the vehicles are designed to be easily recycled as part of a circular economy.
"From many conversations with airports and thorough analysis of current business cases, we are convinced that the scalability and resilience of FLEET will also bring high value to larger airports. Soon, the first FLEET system in the USA will be operational and there is interest from various other, larger, airports," Manship concludes.

Mental health issues such as depression can strike you deeply, leaving you unable to function. If you have this level of depression that is expected to last a year or more, you can receive Social Security Disability benefits in Minnesota.
Social Security not only verifies that you have a depression diagnosis and some of these symptoms, but it also determines your symptoms impact your daily functioning. Social Security examines your day-to-day activities, your social functioning, and your ability to complete tasks at a reasonable pace.
If you are considering an attorney, realize that not all representation is alike. Non-attorneys can do well representing people before the Social Security Administration, but anyone can claim to be an "advocate" without any education or training. Only a licensed attorney can give legal advice. Seek a licensed attorney with experience handling Social Security hearings.

A new review finds that chemicals called endocrine disruptors cause 32 different health problems ranging from infertility to diabetes and impaired brain development. The study in the journal The Lancet Diabetes and Endocrinology adds 17 conditions to the 15 that were already linked to the chemicals, which are found in non-stick pans, waterproof clothing, can linings and many plastics. Researchers say regulations in both Europe and the United States don't go far enough to limit them.
The Covid-19 pandemic is making working moms cut their hours on the job… but not dads. A study in the journal Gender, Work and Organization shows that between February and April… moms' work hours among those who could work from home fell four to five times as much as fathers'. In fact, fathers' work hours didn't really go down at all. The impact was greatest among mothers of young children who've now had to be home schooled during the pandemic. Researchers worry moms may never get those work hours back.
And finally… research shows that men who rigidly endorse traditional masculine roles tend to feel more depressed, drink more, have poor relationships and unhealthy lives. But when they become a dad for the first time… they often clean up. A study in the journal Psychology of Men and Masculinities shows that becoming a dad gives men a greater sense of purpose…which often leads to healthier and less risky choices. So at least at first… the "dad bod" is a myth.

Medical Notes 20-33: Week of August 16, 2020
Doctors are still learning about Coronavirus… and some of what they're finding is confusing. For example, it's long appeared that children don't get Covid-19 as easily as adults… and don't transmit it as well. But now a study in the journal JAMA Pediatrics shows that infected children under age five may have up to 100 times more virus in their upper respiratory tract as infected adults do (full study). Doctors are still trying to figure out exactly what that means for transmission of the virus. In diseases such as the flu, children harbor more virus than adults and spread it around much more easily.
Many first responders to the 9-11 attacks in New York have brains that have aged 10 years more than normal. Two new studies show that many responders at the World Trade Center have reduced gray matter thickness in the brain, and markers in the blood consistent with Alzheimer's disease. Neurotoxins in the air at ground zero are a possible cause. The studies were done at Stony Brook University and the Icahn School of Medicine at Mt. Sinai.
And finally… if you're tall, wear that mask. A preliminary study in the journal medRxiv shows that people over six feet tall are at a higher risk of being diagnosed with Covid-19. Researchers say that if height is, indeed, a risk factor, it suggests that aerosols carried in the air and not just droplets are responsible for the spread of coronavirus (full study

As we celebrate Mandela Day today, here are some of the most inspiring quotations from South Africa's beloved former president Nelson Mandela.
As we reflect on Nelson Mandela's life, we should take the time to consider the great man's words of wisdom. Here's our list of the best Mandela quotes.

Vehicles exist in Fallen Earth to provide players with transportation, extra storage, and some additional combat options. Players will be able to acquire the resources to create a vehicle that they can then sell or use.
Crafting vehicles is governed by two primary Tradeskills: Nature provides access to horses, as well as feed recipes and veterinary kits. Science is used for all other vehicle types. Obtaining recipes for vehicles does require going through several missions. Once you have those initial ATV recipes, you can develop the abilities needed to make all the other types of vehicles. The Science Tradeskill also allows you to craft various kinds of fuel (gasoline, biodiesel, batteries) and repair kits. Vehicles can be damaged through use, as well as in attacks carried out by NPCs or PCs in PvP zones.
The horse is the first type of mount; as with all vehicles, a player gains access via proximity. As living creatures, horses can go much further than an ATV or a motorcycle without having to refuel, but they lack the speed most engine-driven vehicles can achieve. You refuel the horse with feed, and you use veterinary kits to repair them. If you let horses rest, they will recover energy on their own. You may store your mount by speaking to a Stable Manager. Depending on the type of horse, some mounts come with extra pack space. All horses allow their riders to fire shots while mounted, but melee attacks are not possible on a horse.
Other vehicles—such as ATVs, Motorcycles, Dune Buggies, etc.—have several different traits. Some of them have built-in guns that can be fired while driving; others allow you to discharge your personal firearm during the ride. There are electric-, biodiesel-, and gasoline-fueled vehicles. Improved versions of each type are possible, many of which provide extra inventory space.
How do I drive a vehicle or mount?


New York City, September 25, 2015 – A World Bank Group report released today during the United Nations General Assembly shows that more countries around the world are rolling out universal health coverage programs designed to expand access to health care and reduce the number of people impoverished by paying for the health care they need. The report, Going Universal: How 24 countries are implementing universal health coverage reforms from the bottom up, looks at how 24 countries have embarked on the path to universal health coverage and are expanding coverage to the poor—who too often get much less from their health systems than the better-off.
The expansion of universal health coverage is critical: According to the World Health Organization (WHO) and the World Bank Group, 400 million people do not have access to essential health services and 6% of people in low- and middle-income countries are tipped into or pushed further into extreme poverty because of out-of-pocket health spending.
The authors looked at how policy makers in countries are tackling five key challenges: covering people, expanding benefits, managing money, improving the supply of health care services and strengthening accountability. Countries studied in Going Universal included Argentina, Brazil, Chile, China, Columbia, Costa Rica, Ethiopia, Georgia, Ghana, Guatemala, India, Indonesia, Jamaica, Kenya, Kyrgyz Republic, Mexico, Nigeria, Peru, Philippines, South Africa, Thailand, Tunisia, Turkey and Vietnam.
They found that the countries' programs are new, massive and transformational: Most were launched in the past decade, together they cover more than 2 billion people and all are fundamentally changing the way health systems operate. Each of the programs aims to overcome a legacy of inequality by overcoming gaps in the financing and coverage of services that disadvantage the poor. The report showed that universal health coverage requires both greater investment, and a shift in spending to dedicate additional resources in a pro-poor and fiscally sustainable way.
The report comes as world leaders meet in New York City to adopt the Sustainable Development Goals for 2030, including for the first time, a goal to achieve universal health coverage.
"This report offers practical insights to policy makers worldwide who are seeking to accelerate progress toward universal health coverage—and it offers the potential of achieving greater equity and better results for the money spent," said Daniel Cotlear, one of the authors of the report and a Lead Economist in Health, Nutrition and Population at the World Bank Group.
The authors documented and analyzed countries' experiences based on a systematic data collection effort that captured in great detail how countries have been implementing universal health coverage reforms.
The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation supported this report, which will be launched at The Rockefeller Foundation on September 25, 2015.
In line with its global strategy for health, nutrition and population, the World Bank Group supports developing countries' efforts to achieve universal health coverage and provide quality, affordable health care to everyone—regardless of their ability to pay—reducing financial risks associated with ill health, and increasing equity. The path to universal health coverage is specific to each country. Whatever the path, the World Bank Group's aim is to help countries build healthier, more equitable societies, as well as to improve their fiscal performance and country competitiveness—toward the goals of ending poverty and boosting shared prosperity.

Daily Readings for Saturday, April 23, 2022
ABSTAIN FROM MEAT, FISH, DAIRY, EGGS
Holy Saturday, George the Great Martyr and Triumphant
ST. PAUL'S LETTER TO THE ROMANS 6:3-11
Brethren, all who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death. We were buried therefore with Him by baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life. For if we have been united with Him in a death like His, we shall certainly be united with Him in a resurrection like His. We know that our old self was crucified with Him so that the sinful body might be destroyed, and we might no longer be enslaved to sin. For he who has died is freed from sin. But if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him. For we know that Christ being raised from the dead will never die again; death no longer has dominion over Him. The death He died He died to sin, once for all, but the life He lives He lives to God. So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
After the sabbath, toward the dawn of the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the sepulcher. And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone, and sat upon it. His appearance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow. And for fear of him the guards trembled and became like dead men. But the angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid; for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and behold, he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him. Lo, I have told you." So they departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples. And behold, Jesus met them and said, "Hail!" And they came up and took hold of his feet and worshiped him. Then Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid; go and tell my brethren to go to Galilee, and there they will see me.
While they were going, behold, some of the guard went into the city and told the chief priests all that had taken place. And when they had assembled with the elders and taken counsel, they gave a sum of money to the soldiers and said, "Tell people, 'His disciples came by night and stole him away while we were asleep.' And if this comes to the governor's ears, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble." So they took the money and did as they were directed; and this story has been spread among the Jews to this day.
Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. And when they saw him they worshiped him; but some doubted. And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age. Amen.
Great and Holy Saturday
Great and Holy Saturday is the day on which Christ reposed in the tomb. The Church calls this day the Blessed Sabbath.
"The great Moses mystically foreshadowed this day when he said:
God blessed the seventh day.
This is the blessed Sabbath
This is the day of rest,
on which the only-begotten Son of God rested from all His works…."
(Vesperal Liturgy of Holy Saturday)
By using this title the Church links Holy Saturday with the creative act of God. In the initial account of creation as found in the Book of Genesis, God made man in His own image and likeness. To be truly himself, man was to live in constant communion with the source and dynamic power of that image: God. Man fell from God. Now Christ, the Son of God through whom all things were created, has come to restore man to communion with God. He thereby completes creation. All things are again as they should be. His mission is consummated. On the Blessed Sabbath He rests from all His works.
Holy Saturday is a neglected day in parish life. Few people attend the Services. Popular piety usually reduces Holy Week to one day—Holy Friday. This day is quickly replaced by another—Easter Sunday. Christ is dead and then suddenly alive. Great sorrow is suddenly replaced by great joy. In such a scheme Holy Saturday is lost.
In the understanding of the Church, sorrow is not replaced by joy; it is transformed into joy. This distinction indicates that it is precisely within death that Christ continues to effect triumph.
TRAMPLING DOWN DEATH BY DEATH
We sing that Christ is "…trampling down death by death" in the troparion of Easter. This phrase gives great meaning to Holy Saturday. Christ's repose in the tomb is an "active" repose. He comes in search of His fallen friend, Adam, who represents all men. Not finding him on earth, he descends to the realm of death, known as Hades in the Old Testament. There He finds him and brings him life once again. This is the victory: the dead are given life. The tomb is no longer a forsaken, lifeless place. By His death Christ tramples down death by death.
THE ICON OF THE DESCENT INTO HADES
The traditional icon used by the Church on the feast of Easter is an icon of Holy Saturday: the descent of Christ into Hades. It is a painting of theology, for no one has ever seen this event. It depicts Christ, radiant in hues of white and blue, standing on the shattered gates of Hades. With arms outstretched He is joining hands with Adam and all the other Old Testament righteous whom He has found there. He leads them from the kingdom of death. By His death He tramples death.
"Today Hades cries out groaning:
I should not have accepted the Man born of Mary.
He came and destroyed my power.
He shattered the gates of brass.
As God, He raised the souls I had held captive.
Glory to Thy cross and resurrection, O Lord!"
THE VESPERAL LITURGY
The Vespers of Holy Saturday inaugurates the Paschal celebration, for the liturgical cycle of the day always begins in the evening. In the past, this service constituted the first part of the great Paschal vigil during which the catechumens were baptized in the "baptisterion" and led in procession back into the church for participation in their first Divine Liturgy, the Paschal Eucharist. Later, with the number of catechumens increasing, the first baptismal part of the Paschal celebration was disconnected from the liturgy of the Paschal night and formed our pre-paschal service: Vespers and the Liturgy of Saint Basil the Great which follows it. It still keeps the marks of the early celebration of Pascha as baptismal feast and that of Baptism as Paschal sacrament (death and resurrection with Jesus Christ—Romans 6).
On "Lord I Call" the Saturday Resurrectional stichiras of Tone 1 are sung, followed by the the special stichiras of Holy Saturday, which stress the death of Christ as descent into Hades, the region of death, for its destruction. But the pivotal point of the service occurs after the Entrance, when fifteen lessons from the Old Testament are read, all centered on the promise of the Resurrection, all glorifying the ultimate Victory of God, prophesied in the victorious Song of Moses after the crossing of the Red Sea ("Let us sing to the Lord, for gloriously has He been glorified"), the salvation of Jonah, and that of the three youths in the furnace.
Then the epistle is read, the same epistle that is still read at Baptism (Romans 6:3-11), in which Christ's death and resurrection become the source of the death in us of the "old man," the resurrection of the new, whose life is in the Risen Lord. During the special verses sung after the epistle, "Arise, O God, and judge the earth," the dark lenten vestments are put aside and the clergy vest in the bright white ones, so that when the celebrant appears with the Gospel the light of Resurrection is truly made visible in us, the "Rejoice" with which the Risen Christ greeted the women at the grave is experienced as being directed at us.
The Liturgy of Saint Basil continues in this white and joyful light, revealing the Tomb of Christ as the Life-giving Tomb, introducing us into the ultimate reality of Christ's Resurrection, communicating His life to us, the children of fallen Adam.
One can and must say that of all services of the Church that are inspiring, meaningful, revealing, this one: the Vespers and Liturgy of Saint Basil the Great and Holy Saturday is truly the liturgical climax of the Church. If one opens one's heart and mind to it and accepts its meaning and its light, the very truth of Orthodoxy is given by it, the taste and the joy of that new life which shines forth from the grave.
Rev. Alexander Schmemann
Greatmartyr, Victory-bearer, and Wonderworker George
The Holy Great Martyr George the Victory-Bearer, was a native of Cappadocia (a district in Asia Minor), and he grew up in a deeply believing Christian family. His father was martyred for Christ when George was still a child. His mother, owning lands in Palestine, moved there with her son and raised him in strict piety.
When he became a man, Saint George entered into the service of the Roman army. He was handsome, brave and valiant in battle, and he came to the notice of the emperor Diocletian (284-305) and joined the imperial guard with the rank of comites, or military commander.
The pagan emperor, who did much for the restoration of Roman might, was clearly concerned with the danger presented to pagan civilization by the triumph of the Crucified Savior, and intensified his persecution against the Christians in the final years of his reign. Following the advice of the Senate at Nicomedia, Diocletian gave all his governors full freedom in their court proceedings against Christians, and he promised them his full support.
Saint George, when he heard the decision of the emperor, distributed all his wealth to the poor, freed his servants, and then appeared in the Senate. The brave soldier of Christ spoke out openly against the emperor's designs. He confessed himself a Christian, and appealed to all to acknowledge Christ: "I am a servant of Christ, my God, and trusting in Him, I have come among you voluntarily, to bear witness concerning the Truth."
"What is Truth?" one of the dignitaries asked, echoing the question of Pontius Pilate. The saint replied, "Christ Himself, Whom you persecuted, is Truth."
Stunned by the bold speech of the valiant warrior, the emperor, who had loved and promoted George, attempted to persuade him not to throw away his youth and glory and honors, but rather to offer sacrifice to the gods as was the Roman custom. The confessor replied, "Nothing in this inconstant life can weaken my resolve to serve God."
Then by order of the enraged emperor the armed guards began to push Saint George out of the assembly hall with their spears, and they then led him off to prison. But the deadly steel became soft and it bent, just as the spears touched the saint's body, and it caused him no harm. In prison they put the martyr's feet in stocks and placed a heavy stone on his chest.
The next day at the interrogation, powerless but firm of spirit, Saint George again answered the emperor, "You will grow tired of tormenting me sooner than I will tire of being tormented by you." Then Diocletian gave orders to subject Saint George to some very intense tortures. They tied the Great Martyr to a wheel, beneath which were boards pierced with sharp pieces of iron. As the wheel turned, the sharp edges slashed the saint's naked body.
At first the sufferer loudly cried out to the Lord, but soon he quieted down, and did not utter even a single groan. Diocletian decided that the tortured one was already dead, and he gave orders to remove the battered body from the wheel, and then went to a pagan temple to offer thanks.
At this very moment it got dark, thunder boomed, and a voice was heard: "Fear not, George, for I am with you." Then a wondrous light shone, and at the wheel an angel of the Lord appeared in the form of a radiant youth. He placed his hand upon the martyr, saying to him, "Rejoice!" Saint George stood up healed.
When the soldiers led him to the pagan temple where the emperor was, the emperor could not believe his own eyes and he thought that he saw before him some other man or even a ghost. In confusion and in terror the pagans looked Saint George over carefully, and they became convinced that a miracle had occurred. Many then came to believe in the Life-Creating God of the Christians.
Two illustrious officials, Saints Anatolius and Protoleon, who were secretly Christians, openly confessed Christ. Immediately, without a trial, they were beheaded with the sword by order of the emperor. Also present in the pagan temple was Empress Alexandra, the wife of Diocletian, and she also knew the truth. She was on the point of glorifying Christ, but one of the servants of the emperor took her and led her off to the palace.
The emperor became even more furious. He had not lost all hope of influencing Saint George, so he gave him over to new and fiercesome torments. After throwing him into a deep pit, they covered it over with lime. Three days later they dug him out, but found him cheerful and unharmed. They shod the saint in iron sandals with red-hot nails, and then drove him back to the prison with whips. In the morning, they led him back to the interrogation, cheerful and with healed feet, and the emperor asked if he liked his shoes. The saint said that the sandals had been just his size. Then they beat him with ox thongs until pieces of his flesh came off and his blood soaked the ground, but the brave sufferer, strengthened by the power of God, remained unyielding.
The emperor concluded that the saint was being helped by magic, so he summoned the sorcerer Athanasius to deprive the saint of his miraculous powers, or else poison him. The sorcerer gave Saint George two goblets containing drugs. One of them would have quieted him, and the other would kill him. The drugs had no effect, and the saint continued to denounce the pagan superstitions and glorify God as before.
When the emperor asked what sort of power was helping him, Saint George said, "Do not imagine that it is any human learning which keeps me from being harmed by these torments. I am saved only by calling upon Christ and His Power. Whoever believes in Him has no regard for tortures and is able to do the things that Christ did" (John 14:12). Diocletian asked what sort of things Christ had done. The Martyr replied, "He gave sight to the blind, cleansed the lepers, healed the lame, gave hearing to the deaf, cast out demons, and raised the dead."
Knowing that they had never been able to resurrect the dead through sorcery, nor by any of the gods known to him, and wanting to test the saint, the emperor commanded him to raise up a dead person before his eyes. The saint retorted, "You wish to tempt me, but my God will work this sign for the salvation of the people who shall see the power of Christ."
When they led Saint George down to the graveyard, he cried out, "O Lord! Show to those here present, that You are the only God in all the world. Let them know You as the Almighty Lord." Then the earth quaked, a grave opened, the dead one emerged from it alive. Having seen with their own eyes the Power of Christ, the people wept and glorified the true God.
The sorcerer Athanasius, falling down at the feet of Saint George, confessed Christ as the All-Powerful God and asked forgiveness for his sins, committed in ignorance. The obdurate emperor in his impiety thought otherwise. In a rage, he commanded both Athanasius and the man raised from the dead to be beheaded, and he had Saint George again locked up in prison.
The people, weighed down with their infirmities, began to visit the prison and they there received healing and help from the saint. A certain farmer named Glycerius, whose ox had collapsed, also visited him. The saint consoled him and assured him that God would restore his ox to life. When he saw the ox alive, the farmer began to glorify the God of the Christians throughout all the city. By order of the emperor, Saint Glycerius was arrested and beheaded.
The exploits and the miracles of the Great Martyr George had increased the number of the Christians, therefore Diocletian made a final attempt to compel the saint to offer sacrifice to the idols. They set up a court at the pagan temple of Apollo. On the final night the holy martyr prayed fervently, and as he slept, he saw the Lord, Who raised him up with His hand, and embraced him. The Savior placed a crown on Saint George's head and said, "Fear not, but have courage, and you will soon come to Me and receive what has been prepared for you."
In the morning, the emperor offered to make Saint George his co-administrator, second only to himself. The holy martyr with a feigned willingness answered, "Caesar, you should have shown me this mercy from the very beginning, instead of torturing me. Let us go now to the temple and see the gods you worship."
Diocletian believed that the martyr was accepting his offer, and he followed him to the pagan temple with his retinue and all the people. Everyone was certain that Saint George would offer sacrifice to the gods. The saint went up to the idol, made the Sign of the Cross and addressed it as if it were alive: "Are you the one who wants to receive from me sacrifice befitting God?"
The demon inhabiting the idol cried out, "I am not a god and none of those like me is a god, either. The only God is He Whom you preach. We are fallen angels, and we deceive people because we are jealous."
Saint George cried out, "How dare you remain here, when I, the servant of the true God, have entered?" Then noises and wailing were heard from the idols, and they fell to the ground and were shattered.
There was general confusion. In a frenzy, pagan priests and many of the crowd seized the holy martyr, tied him up, and began to beat him. They also called for his immediate execution.
The holy empress Alexandra tried to reach him. Pushing her way through the crowd, she cried out, "O God of George, help me, for You Alone are All-Powerful." At the feet of the Great Martyr the holy empress confessed Christ, Who had humiliated the idols and those who worshipped them.
Diocletian immediately pronounced the death sentence on the Great Martyr George and the holy Empress Alexandra, who followed Saint George to execution without resisting. Along the way she felt faint and slumped against a wall. There she surrendered her soul to God.
Saint George gave thanks to God and prayed that he would also end his life in a worthy manner. At the place of execution the saint prayed that the Lord would forgive the torturers who acted in ignorance, and that He would lead them to the knowledge of Truth. Calmly and bravely, the holy Great Martyr George bent his neck beneath the sword, receiving the crown of martyrdom on April 23, 303.
The pagan era was coming to an end, and Christianity was about to triumph. Within ten years, Saint Constantine (May 21) would issue the Edict of Milan, granting religious freedom to Christians.
Of the many miracles worked by the holy Great Martyr George, the most famous are depicted in iconography. In the saint's native city of Beirut were many idol-worshippers. Outside the city, near Mount Lebanon, was a large lake, inhabited by an enormous dragon-like serpent. Coming out of the lake, it devoured people, and there was nothing anyone could do, since the breath from its nostrils poisoned the very air.
On the advice of the demons inhabiting the idols, the local ruler came to a decision. Each day the people would draw lots to feed their own children to the serpent, and he promised to sacrifice his only daughter when his turn came. That time did come, and the ruler dressed her in her finest attire, then sent her off to the lake. The girl wept bitterly, awaiting her death. Unexpectedly for her, Saint George rode up on his horse with spear in hand. The girl implored him not to leave her, lest she perish.
The saint signed himself with the Sign of the Cross. He rushed at the serpent saying, "In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit." Saint George pierced the throat of the serpent with his spear and trampled it with his horse. Then he told the girl to bind the serpent with her sash, and lead it into the city like a dog on a leash.
The people fled in terror, but the saint halted them with the words: "Don't be afraid, but trust in the Lord Jesus Christ and believe in Him, since it is He Who sent me to save you." Then the saint killed the serpent with a sword, and the people burned it outside the city. Twenty-five thousand men, not counting women and children, were then baptized. Later, a church was built and dedicated to the Most Holy Theotokos and the Great Martyr George.
Saint George went on to become a talented officer and to amaze the world by his military exploits. He died before he was thirty years old. He is known as Victory Bearer, not only for his military achievements, but for successfully enduring martyrdom. As we know, the martyrs are commemorated in the dismissal at the end of Church services as "the holy, right victorious martyr…."
Saint George was the patron saint and protector of several of the great builders of the Russian state. Saint Vladimir's son, Yaroslav the Wise (in holy Baptism George), advanced the veneration of the saint in the Russian Church. He built the city of Yuriev [i.e., "of Yurii." "Yurii" is the diminutive of "George", as "Ivan" is of "John"], he also founded the Yuriev monastery at Novgorod, and he built a church of Saint George the Victory Bearer at Kiev.
The day of the consecration of Saint George's Church in Kiev, November 26, 1051 by Saint Hilarion, Metropolitan of Kiev and All Rus, has entered into the liturgical treasury of the Church as a special church feastday. Yuriev Day is beloved by the Russian people as an "autumn Feast of Saint George."
The name of Saint George was also borne by the founder of Moscow, Yurii Dolgoruky (+ 1157), who was the builder of many churches dedicated to Saint George, and the builder of the city of Yuriev-Polsk. In the year 1238 the heroic fight of the Russian nation against the Mongol Horde was led by the Great Prince Yurii (George) Vsevolodovich of Vladimir (February 4), who fell at the Battle at the Sita River. His memory, like that of Igor the Brave, and defender of his land, was celebrated in Russian spiritual poems and ballads.
The first Great Prince of Moscow, when Moscow had become the center of the Russian Land, was Yurii Danilovich (+ 1325), the son of Saint Daniel of Moscow, and grandson of Saint Alexander Nevsky. From that time Saint George the Victory Bearer, depicted as a horseman slaying the serpent, appeared on Moscow's coat of arms, and became an emblem of the Russian state. This has strengthened Russia's connections with Christian nations, and especially with Iberia (Georgia, the Land of Saint George).
Martyr Alexandra the Empress, wife of Diocletian
The Holy Empress Alexandra was the wife of Diocletian (284-305). Her supposed death was described in the Martyrdom of Saint George, which was written immediately after his death. The empress, however, received the crown of martyrdom several years later, in 314.
Many events occurred during these years. In 305 the emperor Diocletian resigned the throne and power passed to his co-ruler Maximian Galerius (305-311), a fanatic pagan, as well as a coarse and fierce soldier. His wife was Saint Valeria, the daughter of the holy Empress Alexandra, whom Diocletian had given in marriage against her will.
Saint Alexandra raised her daughter in Christian piety. When Galerius died, the emperor Maximinus sought her hand in marriage. When he was refused, he banished Saint Valeria to Syria, where she lived with her mother.
After the death of Maximinus in 311 the mother and daughter arrived in Nicomedia, trusting in the mercy of the emperor Licinius (311-324). Together with Saint Constantine, he had subscribed to the Edict of Milan, which gave Christians the freedom of religion, but secretly he remained an enemy of Christianity. Licinius gave orders to execute the holy Empress Alexandra and her daughter Valeria. They were beheaded, and their bodies thrown into the sea.
Martyrs Anatolius and Protoleon, soldiers converted by witnessing the martyrdom of Saint George
Two illustrious officials, Saints Anatolius and Protoleon, who were secretly Christians, openly confessed Christ after seeing Saint George tortured, then miraculously healed of his wounds. Immediately, and without a trial, they were beheaded with the sword by order of the emperor.
New Martyr Lazarus of Bulgaria
The Holy New Martyr Lazarus was from Gabrovo, Bulgaria and he was born to devout and God-loving parents in 1774. At a young age he left Gabrovo and went to Soma in Asia Minor, near Pergamon, where he became a shepherd.
One day while tending his sheep in the fields, he sat down to rest, and fell asleep. Meanwhile, a Moslem woman passed by, and was attacked by the sheep dog. Awakened by the dog's barking, Lazarus hastened to save her. The dog was calmed down and the woman was unharmed, but her dress was somewhat torn. This infuriated the woman, who immediately went home and told her husband that she had been attacked by a Christian shepherd who attempted to molest her. The enraged husband went out to look for Lazarus, but since he did not know him, he mistook another man for Lazarus, and nearly beat him to death. In order to hide his mistake, the husband had his wife's relatives go before the Turkish judge and to charge Lazarus with attempted rape.
Although Lazarus was aware of what the woman's husband planned to do, he did not attempt to hide. He knew that he was innocent, and that running away would only make him appear guilty. Therefore, on April 7, 1802, he showed up in court, where he was charged and thrown into prison.
In the meantime, the woman's relatives insisted that Lazarus must either convert to Islam or be executed for the dishonor he had inflicted upon their relative. They offered the aga a thousand grosia if he succeeded in converting Lazarus; or if the Saint refused to deny Christ, he must be sentenced to death.
In prison, saints Lazarus was beaten continuously until April 22, in an attempt to force his conversion. Orthodox Christians came and visited Lazarus to give him support and encouragement, but he requested them to leave because they were placing themselves in danger. Meanwhile, the aga grew increasingly angry because Lazarus would not convert, and the one thousand grosia seemed to be slipping through his fingers. Saint Lazarus remained steadfast in the face of torture and flattery, and so the aga confiscated his herd of forty sheep.
On Tuesday of Saint Thomas week (April 22) the aga ordered more tortures for Lazarus. After his tormentors got drunk, they began applying red-hot irons to Lazarus' body. Then they placed heavy stones upon his chest, but Lazarus still refused to submit. Instead, Lazarus entreated the Lord to help him, and he also prayed to Saint George (April 23), asking for his assistance.
Then the torturers stretched out Lazarus' tongue and applied a hot iron to it, burning the front half and cauterizing the rest. Since Lazarus was now unable to speak, they told him to use sign language when he was ready to convert. They also placed a heated iron band around his head, causing him terrible pain.
At sunset, the merchant John from Zagora, who was also a medical doctor, went to see the aga, with whom he was acquainted, because he was the physician to the aga's household. John went to the window of the prison and was able to see Lazarus sitting on the floor. Not only did he seem to be well, but he was also able to speak normally. The doctor, who was an Orthodox Christian, encouraged Lazarus to persevere until the end, and to endure everything for the love of Christ. He spoke to Lazarus in Turkish, since he did not know Bulgarian and Lazarus did not understand Greek. Lazarus assured the doctor that he would not give in, but he was afraid that the Moslems would become tired of torturing him and would just stop instead of putting him to death.
When the aga learned that Lazarus could speak, he became angry with the torturers, whom he thought had deceived him. Yet when he saw the marks of torture on the Saint's body, he was convinced that the men had done their job. After trying once more to make Lazarus convert, he heard him reject all gifts, honors, and promises of wealth if he became a Moslem. Saint Lazarus told him, "I have one God in three persons, Whom I worship and adore. I was baptized as an Orthodox Christian, and I shall die as an Orthodox Christian." Then the aga ordered that he be hanged.
On the way to the place of his execution, many Moslems mocked Lazarus for being so foolish as to give up his life for Jesus Christ. When they arrived at their destination, Saint Lazarus voluntarily placed the rope around his own neck and stood on a basket, and then the executioner kicked it from under his feet. Thus the Holy New Martyr Lazarus endured martyrdom on April 23, 1802. He was twenty-eight years old when he departed from this temporal life, and inherited everlasting life. Now, in the Kingdom of Heaven, he joins the angels and all the Saints in glorifying the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit throughout the ages.
A Church Service in honor of Saint Lazarus was composed by Saint Nikephoros of Chios (May 1). Portions of his relics can be venerated in Leimonos Monastery in Lesbos, and in the Chapel of Saint Xenia of Saint Petersburg at Mandra in Attica.

K-Park opened with tribute to 'Community Spirit' of East Kilbride
Ally McCoist unveiling the official opening plaque
East Kilbride's most famous son has hailed the town's "brilliant community spirit" as he helped officially open the first phase of a football academy.
Football legend Ally McCoist led a squad of top names from the Scottish game in a special match to open the K Park pitch in Calderglen, as his mother, Jessie, cut the ribbon on the facility.
Old Firm heroes Ian Durrant, Charlie Miller, Tosh McKinlay, Simon Donnelly and Jackie McNamara made up a star-studded team to take on a select side of veteran East Kilbride amateurs as hundreds arrived to see the new home of football in the town.
Ally, has been involved in the East Kilbride Community Trust project along with friends Paul and James Kean and Iain King from the start in 2008 and said it was always their dream to see K Park built.
He said: "I was delighted to get involved, James and Paul have been my pals for a long, long time and James has always had this dream to build something to put the town on the football map.
"We are so lucky that there's such a brilliant community spirit in East Kilbride. If anything EK has suffered a little bit with a lack of focus on its needs.
"Today we can be so proud of what's been achieved."
The Rangers manager said it was fitting that his mother should be the one to cut the ribbon, along with Thomas Hobbs, as she would open the doors of her home to youngsters who played football in the town.
He said: "My mum's door was always open and at any time there would be 10 or 12 lads in for a bite to eat and to watch football.
"Boys came from St Bride's and from Hunter High and the whole week was spent around there and playing football together.
"Opening K Park just shows that same spirit exists in East Kilbride today.
"There have been a good few professional players to come out of the town and we have been on about getting better facilities for years.
"We want to give kids the chance in the game and to give all the youngsters a shot at using this fantastic academy.
"It would be great if that increases the chances of the best of them to make it in the game."
Jamie Borthwick, STV East Kilbride.

Judge convicted of prostitution misdemeanors,…
Judge convicted of prostitution misdemeanors, but acquitted of felony charges
September 4, 2014, 4:30 pm CDT
A municipal judge in Bedford, Ohio, was convicted of misdemeanor counts of soliciting prostitution and falsification, but acquitted of most charges against him, including all felonies.
The verdict against Judge Harry Jacob III was announced Thursday in a Cuyahoga County Common Pleas case following a bench trial, reports WKYC. Jacob was convicted of three misdemeanor counts of soliciting prostitutes and two misdemeanor counts of falsification, according to the Plain Dealer and the WKYC article. The latter counts concerned Bedford Municipal Court journal entries in a 2012 domestic violence case.
But Jacob, whose age is given as 56 or 57, was acquitted on charges of tampering with records, obstructing justice, and one additional solicitation count. He is scheduled for sentencing on Oct. 15.
"I think the judge got it right," attorney Kevin Spellacy, who represents Jacob, told the newspaper after the verdict. Testimony by government witnesses did not support prosecutors' claims concerning his client's conduct, Spellacy said.
Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Tim McGinty disagreed in a statement released on Thursday after the verdict, reports WKYC, and says his office plans to appeal. Jacob "disgraced his city and demeaned the judiciary of this state," wrote McGinty. "He deserves a stay in jail – a very long one."
A spokesman said the Ohio Supreme Court is reviewing Jacob's conviction and he could potentially face an administrative judicial ethics case. However, it appears Jacob could return to the bench, because he was not convicted of a felony, the Plain Dealer reports. The court suspended Jacob with pay from his $114,000-a-year job in December, after he was charged with felonies.
Jacob had been accused, along with Kenneth Schuman, former law director and prosecutor for the city of Bedford, Ohio, of criminal conduct concerning an illegal brothel operated within the city. However, multiple brothel-related charges against both men were dropped, WEWS reported last month. Schuman was sentenced Wednesday to six months in a bribery case.
