Tapering behavior increased from 67% to 100%, expediting improved long-term medication cessation. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), first used in 1989, attained regulatory approval as safe for long-term use to prevent ulcers in high-risk patients and to treat various gastrointestinal pathologies (Avraham & Biglow, 2018). and post-test surveys. Support for peer-led evidence-based practice on-site coaching increased from 87% to 100%. Tapering behavior increased from 67% to 100%, expediting improved long-term medication cessation. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), first used in 1989, attained regulatory approval as safe for long-term use to prevent ulcers in high-risk patients and to treat various gastrointestinal pathologies (Avraham & Biglow, 2018). Subsequently, PPIs have been prescribed for long-term use and are one of the costliest, widely prescribed medications given to prevent and treat gastritis, laryngeal symptoms (Gatta et al., 2007), and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) symptoms (Farrell et al., 2017; Naunton, Peterson, Deeks, Young, & Kosari, 2018; Reeve et al., 2015; Thompson, Black, et al., 2018). Evidence published since 2013 supports deprescribing patients with no exclusion criteria to limit the comorbidities associated with long-term PPI use (Avraham & Biglow, 2018; Gualtero et al., 2017; Ho et Rabbit polyclonal to ACVR2A al., 2014; Khan, Ismail, Haider, & Ali, 2018; Lazarus et al., 2016; Thompson, Black, et al., 2017; Xie et al., 2016). Background Longitudinal, observational cohort studies report associations between long-term PPI use and community-acquired pneumonia, infections, diarrhea, chronic renal insufficiency, headaches, hypocalcemia, osteoporotic fractures, hypomagnesemia, vitamin B12 deficiency, and QT prolongation (Farrell et al., 2017; Ho et al., 2014; Khan et al., 2018; Lazarus et al., 2016; Xie et al., 2016). Other associated concerns are an increased risk for developing gastric tumors and gastric carcinoma. Jianu et al. (2012) presented two case studies demonstrating hypergastrinemia secondary to PPI therapy, concluding that enterochromaffin-like carcinoids could arise from long-term PPI use. Dado, Loesch, and Jaganathan (2017) reported a case study of severe iron-deficiency anemia associated with long-term PPI use. A large cohort study of veterans by Xie et al. (2016) cited excess risk of death among those taking PPIs for a long time without necessity, when compared with those taking histamine receptor agonists (H2RAs). According to Avraham and Biglow (2018), PPIs are inappropriately prescribed 48.59% of the time. In Australia, Reeve et al. (2015) estimated inappropriate use at 50%. Thompson, Black, et al. (2017) reported that 50% of Canadian patients remained on PPIs long-term without need. In a U.S. cohort study of PPI use between 2001 and 2011, Haastrup et al. (2016) revealed high correlations between new onset of long-term PPI use and low-income/low education levels. Of these long-term users, 96% did not have a diagnosis that necessitated PPI therapy (Haastrup et al., 2016). Exclusion criteria for deprescribing PPIs are advanced stages of GERD, Barrett's esophagitis, tumor or metastasis, mechanical ventilation, hospice or palliative care, radiation therapy or chemotherapy, pathological hypersecretory conditions, use of antiplatelet or anticoagulation therapy, variceal or gastrointestinal hemorrhages, or long-term nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug use (Avraham & Biglow, 2018; Thompson, Black, et al., 2017). Patients not meeting Los Angeles (LA) Classification (Table ?(Table1)1) Grade C or D gastroesophageal reflux symptoms and with no history of ulcers or disease-related pathological gastropathies EACC may be deprescribed from PPIs after 4C8 weeks of use (Farrell et al., 2017). TABLE 1. The Los Angeles Classification of Esophagitis EACC Adapted from The Los Angeles Classification of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease, by S. S. Sami and K. Ragunath, 2013, antibodies or to order endoscopies after deprescribing patients who report ongoing GERD symptoms following deprescribing failures. Farrell et al. (2017) recommend selection for exclusion of deprescribing be made for patients known to have L.A. Classification C or D GERD, with or without a history of ulcers. Farrell et al. (2017) also recommend in their PPI deprescribing guideline that patients faltering deprescribing be tested for antibodies. CVA PCPs are not guided to deprescribe PPIs according to the breadth of exclusion criteria recommended in additional guidelines. Two EACC individual care instruction bedding are provided for PCPs to give to individuals, which discuss overutilization of PPIs and connected risks and offer dietary guidance with foods to EACC choose and avoid to manage GERD. The food lists are not supported by current evidence.

El collar de la coloma o Tawq al-hamama —en àrab طوق الحمامة, Ṭawq al-ḥamāma— és una obra en prosa del  escrita en àrab per Ibn Hazm. És un llibre de reflexions sobre la veritable essència de l'amor i intenta descobrir el que té de comú i immutable al llarg dels segles i les civilitzacions d'influència neoplatònica, anomenat «amor udhrí», i inclou detalls autobiogràfics. És també un diwan o antologia poètica de tema amorós. S'hi exposen alguns aspectes de l'experiència amorosa, per això constitueix un testimoniatge de primera mà de la vivència de l'amor a l'Àndalus durant la dinastia omeia. Fou escrit a Xàtiva cap a 1023. Té relació amb l'art islàmic ja que el collar de la coloma és art.

Títol
El títol complet de l'obra és El collar de la coloma sobre l'amor i els amants o Tawq al-hamama fi-l-ulfa wa-l-alaf —en àrab طوق الحمامة أو طوق الحمامة في الألفة والألاف, Ṭawq al-ḥamāma fī l-ulfa wa-l-alāf—.

El títol reflecteix el costum en la literatura àrab del moment de crear títols ornamentals: la coloma és bonica, però el seu collar és el que l'embelleix, així que és la bellesa màxima.

School Supplies Harmful to Kids' Health
by Jennifer Gibson, PharmD | September 22, 2012
Fall is in the air and parents across the United States are busy buying new backpacks, sharpening pencils, and packing lunch boxes in an effort to give their kids every bit of help, confidence, and encouragement during back-to-school time. But, a new study reveals that the school supplies parents buy may actually harm their children's health.
The study was prepared by the advocacy group the Center for Health, Environment, and Justice (CHEJ) and evaluated the levels of hazardous chemicals in a variety of school supplies. In particular, phthalates are plasticizers used to soften vinyl and PVC-containing products and they are in widespread use in many products we use every day. Exposure to phthalates has been linked to endocrine abnormalities, including reproductive dysfunction, infertility, early onset puberty, obesity, and diabetes, as well as cancer, allergies, asthma, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Laws have been in place since 2008 in the United States that ban phthalate levels in excess of 0.1% (based on the mass of the entire product) in children's toys and childcare products intended for sleep, feeding, or teething. However, these bans do not apply to school supplies, skin care products, cosmetics, adhesives, electronics, or packaging materials – other common sources of phthalates. Children are at the highest risk of adverse effects from phthalates owing to their sensitivity to toxic chemicals and the increased exposure to phthalates (often through putting things in their mouths).
For its evaluation, the CHEJ purchased backpacks, lunchboxes, binders, rain boots, and raincoats from low-cost retailers in New York. Overall, 75% of children's school supplies contained levels of phthalates that would be illegal if the items were classified as toys. Unfortunately, most of the products did not contain labels that warned consumers of the phthalate content.
Humans are constantly exposed to hazardous chemicals, including phthalates. The cumulative and additive effects of phthalate exposure over a lifetime have yet to be confirmed. But, for the time being, staying away from them, to the extent possible, seems to be the best option. More legislation is in the works in Congress (The Safe Chemicals Act) that would place more limits on hazardous chemicals in consumer items, but manufacturers should also be compelled to minimize the use of phthalates and, at the very least, label phthalate-containing products.
If parents do not want to wait for Congress to phase out harmful chemicals, there are steps they can take to decrease their children's risk of exposure, which are outlined in the CHEJ report. First, avoid products made from vinyl or PVC. (The more flexible a plastic product is, the more plasticizers it probably contains.) If the label does not list phthalates or PVC, parents can check the universal recycling symbol; if the number "3" is inside it or "V" or "PVC" is written underneath it, the product is made from PVC. Finally, if it is unclear, consumers should call the manufacturer to ask what type of plastic is used in the product.
Back-to-school season is an exciting time, and parents try to do right by their children and buy them the fashionable clothes and the trendy supplies. Parents are stocking up on educational games and books and scheduling the most stimulating after-school activities. But, selecting the wrong supplies could put pose physical and mental health risks.

Mission | History | Leadership
Our Mission is to improve health and well-being in the community by promoting active lifestyles and physical fitness.
As the race of choice for thousands of runners throughout the region, Hospital Hill Run is known not only for its challenge but also for its contributions to charity and the local community. As a proud not-for-profit organization, we have given over $150,000 back to the community in the last five years.
NEW CHARITY PARTNER FOR 2021! RUN FOR CHILDREN'S MERCY HOSPITAL.
Giving back to the Kansas City medical community is the root of who we are at Hospital Hill Run. By taking part in the Hospital Hill Run, a portion of each entry along with 100% of all fundraising efforts go to our official charity partner in Children's Mercy Hospital. Make your miles count in 2021 by becoming an individual or team fundraiser.
History of Hospital Hill Run
1974 – The Beginning and the Early Years
In 1973, Dr. E. Grey Dimond, head of the UMKC School of Medicine, scheduled a symposium on physical fitness in May of 1974. Dr. Dimond thought it appropriate to include a run in the weekend event. Running had become very popular after the publication of Dr. Kenneth Cooper's book Aerobics in the late 1960s. In addition, an American, Frank Shorter, won the Marathon Gold in the 1972 Olympics.
Dr. Dimond approached Dr. Ralph Hall of Saint Luke's Medical System with his idea. Ralph, a runner himself, was supportive and looked to Jim Burnley for advice on administering the race. Burnley was the secretary-treasurer and newsletter editor for the young running group called the Missouri Valley Masters Track and Field Association, or MVTAFA for short. That organization's current name is Mid-America Running Association.
Under Jim Burnley's leadership, the race was held in early May of 1974 and consisted of a 6.4-mile run and a 1-mile race. The races started and ended at Crown Center. Crown Center was in its infancy, and the race and symposium provided public awareness of the new development in midtown Kansas City, Missouri. To this day, Crown Center is a sponsor and hosts the Hospital Hill Run, providing shopping, dining, two hotels, LEGOLAND® Discovery Center, and SEA LIFE Kansas City Aquarium.
The entry fee for the first year Hospital Hill Run was an affordable $1.00. A total of 99 runners entered, 66 in the 6.4-mile run and the balance in the 1-mile race. Former Kansas City, Missouri mayor Charles Wheeler was the official starter for the event, and the first winner of the Hospital Hill Run was John Haraughty of Lenexa, Kansas.
1975 – Year Two
The second year, 1975, the Hospital Hill Run was scheduled on the first Saturday of June. With the first year's success, the organizers wanted to attract more runners and added a half marathon to the other events. The half-marathon race course was designed to cover much of the same route as the previous year's 6.4-mile event with the addition of half marathoners crossing Broadway Street and circling the Penn Valley Park. Since Jim Burnley had work demands that kept him on the road, he had asked Russ Niemi to assist him.
The 1975 race itself was a disaster. A half-mile into the race, the lead runners went off course. Some runners followed the leaders, while others went off in many directions. Police, who had been paid and scheduled in advance to stop traffic on Broadway, never showed up. With all the confusion, race officials returned everyone's entry fee (again $1.00) and did not declare a winner.
1976 – Year Three
The third Hospital Hill Run was again scheduled for the first weekend in June. After the previous year's problems, the City of Kansas City, Missouri, wanted to become involved by providing police protection and routing the race along the many picturesque boulevards the city offered. Russ Niemi had become the sole race director and was assisted by Rich Ayers. The UMKC School of Medicine requested the race route to include as many health care centers as possible.
The scheduled events for 1976 included the half marathon, 6.7-mile run, and the 1-mile race. The half marathon run started at Crown Center, went north, circled back south by the Hyatt Regency Hotel, and continued passing Children's Mercy Hospital down to Baptist Memorial Hospital. It then returned north on Brookside to the Country Club Plaza, passing by Saint Luke's Medical Center and Trinity Lutheran Hospital and St. Mary's Hospital (now the Federal Reserve Bank) located across from the Liberty Memorial. The challenging course rewarded runners with a half-mile downhill stretch to the finish line in the Crown Center Square. The 6.7-mile runners followed the beginning portions of the half marathon but turned into the Country Club Plaza at the Nelson Museum of Art.
Several hundred runners entered the races in 1976, and no difficulties occurred. Scoring in the early years included giving runners a popsicle stick with their finish position and asking them to give their names to the scorers. Today, electronics provide instant results down to many decimal points.
Hospital Hill Run Receives National Attention
After the 1976 race, the Hospital Hill Run became THE race to run in Kansas City and the surrounding area. The event achieved national attention and attracted famous runners such as Joe Henderson, Frank Shorter, Bill Rogers, George Sheehan, and many others. Rich Ayers replaced Russ Niemi as race director in 1982.
Several amazing people have worked together to bring the race to life and nurture it along. Russ Niemi, one of the early race directors, remembered how everything began:
For the first 2 years of the event, registration was $1. In 1978, it cost $3 to register for the event if you were under 19 years old and $5 if you were 20 or older. In 1981, the registration fee was $8. The organizers stated, "Hospital Hill Run has failed to produce significant revenues. Thanks to several of you, we were able to come close to the break-even point." By 1983, the fee was $9. Ten years later, in 1993, it cost $23 for a bib. By 2001, the half marathon was $40.
Record Breaking:
Hospital Hill Run has hosted many record-breaking runners, ranging from Frank Shorter, winner of the Olympic marathon gold medal in1972, to local boy Mark Curp, who held world and U.S. records in the half marathon from 1985-1990. In addition, Mark set a Hospital Hill Run record in 1983, then broke it in 1985. That record stood until 1996. That record time of 1:03:26 by Gert Thys still stands today.
1984 started a tradition of awarding prize money to the top 3 half marathon finishers. 1988 saw the first wheelchair athlete, Bill Botton of Overland Park, KS in the half marathon, and John Selmears of Kansas City, MO in the 7.7-mile race. In 1991, Jim Dawson, the Vice President of Marketing at Crown Center was quoted as saying, "I see fifteen years from today that there will still be a Trinity Hospital Hill. It will start and stop at Crown Center. It will still be a 7.7 miles and 13.1 miles, although we may add a 5k or something to augment that, but keep the core." 2006's Hospital Hill Run was a 5k, 10k, and half marathon that did start and end at Crown Center, though that's the only prediction that was fully realized.
The Evolution of the Event and the Course
What started as a single 6.8-mile race with 99 runners has evolved into a world-class event that hosts thousands of runners completing three different distances. Athletes have participated during torrential downpours, high heat and humidity, and slightly confusing courses. (1975 was famously referred to as "an orienteering event" due to the large number of runners who ran off course. 1994 saw the top 6 half marathon runners being led off the course by nearly ¾ of a mile.) The event is always evolving and changing with the times to bring the best to Kansas City and the athletes who participate in the Hospital Hill Run.
The event has hosted a number of different distances over the years. In 1975, a half marathon was added. In 1976, the 6.8-mile event morphed to a 7.7-mile race. This changed again in 1994 when an 8k replaced the 7.7-miler. In 2001, the distances were a half marathon, 12k, and 5k. Eventually, the event settled at its current distances: a half marathon, 10k, and 5k.
The weather has consistently played a considerable role in the Hospital Hill Run. High heat and humidity warnings have been common over the years, and several races were held in torrential downpours. 2001's results could not be confirmed because the rain interfered with the timing system.
Transition to UMKC
In 2000, UMKC Athletics took over the event, and Lisa Drake became the race director. It was time to update the branding officially around the Hospital Hill Run, so Lisa was instrumental in updating the logo and branding, creating a Hospital Hill Run website, and expanding the event's reach.
One of Lisa's favorite memories was recruiting Marines from the Marine Corps Mobilization Command in Kansas City to act as course marshals. "It was so cool to see the Marines in their yellow shirts and camo pants as course monitors along every street and corner, making sure the course was safe as each participant ran by! The participants really loved and appreciated it."
It was vital to Lisa to bid on winning the National Half Marathon Championships in an effort to bring notoriety to the race.
Lisa's efforts won the bid to secure 3 Men's USATF Half Marathon National Championships and one Women's USATF Half Marathon National Championship.
Hospital Hill Run Transitions into a Not-for-Profit
Lisa led the charge to turn Hospital Hill Run into a not-for-profit organization and created a board of directors. It was time for the Grandfather of all the Kansas City Road Races to become its own entity. A new mission statement for the organization was born, "To improve health and well-being in the community by promoting active lifestyles and physical fitness."
Once the transition was made, Lisa stepped down and brought Beth Salinger on as race director in 2007. Lisa loved the event, loved working on it, and was thrilled when she could be a participant again. "After Beth took over, I was finally able to participate and experience the incredible feeling of running down the hill to the finish line into Crown Center with the announcer calling my name. It was awesome!"
Leadership & Recognition
The Hospital Hill Run was named one of the top 25 road races by Runner's World Magazine in 1984. In February 2013, Runner's World Magazine chose the Hospital Hill Run as the 11th best half marathon in the U.S. The Hospital Hill Run hosted the first USATF National Championship half marathon in 2002. 2009 was the first year that a competitive team challenge was offered with six men's teams and four women's teams participating.
Beth Salinger took an amazing race and tradition and brought it even further along. Under her leadership, the race has grown approximately 300% since 2006. New sponsors have come aboard, and past sponsors came back when they saw how the race was growing. Beth has leveraged social media, email, workshops, and television, including a "Training Tips" segment on Fox 4 TV, to make current and past Hospital Hill Run participants feel a personal connection to the event. Her excitement and enthusiasm for the race is contagious.
In 2015, Beth hosted a Race Director conference, inviting local Race Directors to Kansas City to share best practices. The half-day conference was such a massive success, with over 95 in attendance, the conference became an annual tradition.
In 2019, Lisa Drake took back the reins and became Race Director once again. In 2019, Lisa rebranded the event, focusing on the Hospital Hill Run as the oldest road race in Kansas City, as "The Kansas City Running Tradition." In 2020, she took the event virtual and created challenges to keep participants engaged and continue the tradition.
In 2020, the Hospital Hill Run was selected as the 2020 reader's choice award winner for the best-organized footrace in Kansas City in Pitch Magazine.
As we look forward to 2021, Lisa is very excited to partner with Children's Mercy Hospital as the Hospital Hill Run's Charity Partner, focusing on the I Love Children's Mercy Fund, making a difference for so many children and their families.
The race had grown from the beginning 99 runners to more than 9,000 entries in 2013. In 2021, we will celebrate 48 years of success for Kansas City's oldest race, as The Kansas City Running Tradition. We hope you enjoy your weekend and bring more friends along to experience the "Thrill of the Hill."

The posse comitatus (from the Latin for "power of the county/community/guard"), frequently shortened to posse, is in common law a group of people mobilized by the conservator of peace – typically a reeve, sheriff, chief, or another special/regional designee like an officer of the peace potentially accompanied by or with the direction of a justice or ajudged parajudicial process given the imminence of actual damage – to suppress lawlessness, defend the people, or otherwise protect the place, property, and public welfare (see also ethical law enforcement (police by consent, etc.)). The posse comitatus as an English jurisprudentially defined doctrine dates back to ninth-century England and the campaigns of Alfred the Great (and before in ancient custom and law of locally martialed forces) simultaneous thereafter with the officiation of sheriff nomination to keep the regnant peace (known as "the queen/king's peace"). Justus Causus is everpresently necessary in establishing, forming, or calling up a posse and can never be the basis for the very lawlessness or subversion of order this legal maxim is intended to subdue and defend against.

Etymology
Derived from Latin, posse comitātūs ("force of the county/region") is sometimes shortened to simply posse from the mid-17th century onward to describe the force itself more than the legal principle. While the original meaning refers to a group of citizens assembled by the authorities to deal with an emergency (such as suppressing a riot or pursuing felons and outlawry), the term is also used for any force or band, especially with hostile intent, often also figuratively or humorously. In 19th-century usage, posse comitatus also acquired the generalized or figurative meaning. In classical Latin, posse is a contraction of potesse, an irregular Latin verb meaning "to be able". The unusual genitive in "-ūs" is a feature of the fourth declension. In its earliest days, the posse comitatus was subordinate to the king, country, and local authority.

United Kingdom

English Civil War
In 1642, during the early stages of the English Civil War, local forces were employed everywhere and by all sides. The powers responsible produced valid written authority, inducing the locals to assemble. The two most common authorities used were the Militia Ordinance on the side of the Parliamentarians and that of the king, the old-fashioned Commissions of Array. But the Royalist leader in Cornwall, Sir Ralph Hopton, indicted the enemy before the grand jury of the county as disturbers of the peace, and had the posse comitatus called out to expel them.

In law
The powers of sheriffs in England and Wales for posse comitatus were codified by section 8 of the Sheriffs Act 1887, the first subsection of which stated that:

This permitted the sheriff of each county to call every civilian to his assistance to catch a person who had committed a felony – that is, a serious crime. It provided for fines for those who did not comply. The provisions for posse comitatus were repealed by the Criminal Law Act 1967. The second subsection provided for the sheriff to take "the power of the county" if he faced resistance while executing a writ, and provided for the arrest of resisters. This subsection is still in force. This power can be used during the execution of a writ of seizure and sale to satisfy a debt; it allows a sheriff to call upon the police while seizing the property.

United States
The posse comitatus power continues to exist in those common-law states that have not expressly repealed it by statute. As an example, it is codified in Georgia under OCGA 17-4-24:

In some states, especially in the Western United States, sheriffs and other law enforcement agencies have called their civilian auxiliary groups "posses". The Lattimer Massacre of 1897 illustrated the danger of such groups and thus ended their use in situations of civil unrest. Posse comitatus in the US became not an instrument of royal prerogative but an institution of local self-governance. The posse functioned through, rather than upon, the local popular will. From 1850 to 1878, the United States federal government had expanded its power over individuals.  This was done to safeguard national property rights for slaveholders, emancipate millions of enslaved African Americans, and enforce the doctrine of formal equality. The rise of the federal state, like the marketplace before it, had created contradictory but congruous forces of liberation and compulsion upon individuals.

In the early decades of the United States, before slavery became a major conflict, federal use of posse comitatus in the states was rare. But the federal posse comitatus, quite literally, had compelled all of the United States to accept the legitimacy of slavery.  In an exhaustive study of lynching in Colorado, historian Stephen Leonard defines lynching to include the people's courts and even posses, which by definition were led by sheriffs.

In the United States, a federal statute known as the Posse Comitatus Act, enacted in 1878, forbade the use of the US Army, and through it, its offspring, the US Air Force, as a posse comitatus or for law enforcement purposes without the approval of Congress. While the act does not explicitly mention the US Navy and the US Marine Corps, the US Department of the Navy has prescribed regulations that are generally construed to give the act force with respect to these branches as well. A directive in 2013 from the US Secretary of Defense directly addressed this issue and prohibited the use of the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps for domestic law enforcement. The limitation does not apply to the National Guard of the United States when activated by a state's governor and operating under Title 32 of the US Code, such as deployments by state governors in response to Hurricane Katrina.

Notable posses

Pierce County, 1856
In response to the dispatch of militia by the governor of Washington Territory, Isaac Stevens, to arrest Francis A. Chenoweth, the chief justice of the territory's supreme court, who was holding court in the Pierce County Courthouse, the sheriff of Pierce County deputized 50 to 60 civilians for the defense of the court. Negotiations ultimately resolved the standoff between the posse and the militia, and the latter withdrew.

Luzerne County, 1897
In 1897 the sheriff of Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, deputized 100 civilians to supplement 50 deputy sheriffs in confronting 400 striking mine workers at the Lattimer Mines. The posse fired at the strikers, leaving 19 dead. This incident is referred to as the Lattimer massacre.

Hinsdale County, 1994
In 1994, after violent bank robbers fled from Mineral County, Colorado, into remote Hinsdale County, Colorado, which, at the time, had two law enforcement officers for its 500 residents. The county sheriff summoned the county's power, directing more than 100 deputized civilians and 200 out-of-town police officers in house-to-house searches for the fugitives. The robbers committed suicide as the posse closed in on their location.

Legal status

Case law
Following the Baltimore riot of 1968, 1,500 lawsuits were filed against the city of Baltimore seeking compensation for damages sustained due to the failure of the police to suppress the unrest. The city sought declaratory judgment arguing that it could not be liable for any failures of the Baltimore municipal police, as it was an agency of the State of Maryland and the city had no law enforcement authority. In rejecting the argument, the Maryland Court of Appeals observed that Baltimore, as an independent city and – therefore – a county equivalent, was still in possession of the ability to summon the power of the county as that right had not explicitly been repealed by statute and, therefore, remained part of the common law. The court noted:

Statute law

State provisions
In the Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology, David Kopel observed that almost all US states provide statutory authority for sheriffs, or other local officials, to summon the county's power. In many cases, civil and criminal penalties are prescribed for members of the public who shirk posse duty when summoned; South Carolina provides that "any person refusing to assist as one of the posse ... shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction shall be fined not less than thirty nor more than one hundred dollars or imprisoned for thirty days" while in New Hampshire a fine of "not more than $20" has been set.

Federal provisions
Title 42, section 1989, of the United States Code extends the authority to summon the power of the county to United States magistrate judges when necessary to enforce their orders:

Responding to the comment on why I made this. In general, my design is more conservative and addresses only the most critical bracing issue feature only, and keeps the cable length/strain/orientation/position the way Prusa designed them, and avoids X cable strain.
The main feature/strength of his design is the frame brace idea, which is what I used. The frame brace actually helps prints. The flipped door and extras space are nice added conveniences, and should be good features if they worked as intended.
I wanted to keep the bracing and keep it simple. As a second consideration, my part takes less less time to print.
I did print his part, test it, and post a make. It is a great idea and I wish Prusa offered a flipped board so it would work well. However I cannot recommend it currently. The current board position forces the cables to reach further across to the board connections. This shortens the live play length of the cables, and would add cable strain, especially in the X axis cable. Therefore I used his main bracing idea and just made something that made that work with the current Einsy case, which allows the best cable position and strain relief.
He did add space which is nice, however, it would be better to add space in the current board orientation. Someone suggested that in his comments and asked why he didn't keep the original orientation.
The flipped door idea is nice but such a minor thing that I never use it. Flipping the door is also means the board is flipped, which is the cause of the strain too since it reorients the board connections. This small benefit is not worth it.
My design uses his brace idea of a brace to both frame axis, and similar measurements, and thus I posted it a remix.However, I did not remix his file, but instead altered the original Prusa door step file.
I have no experience with an MMU so can't comment on the MMU part.
I hope this explanation helps you pick whether to use his design or mine.
So, just curious, I took a look at your makes and from your pictures of the make, you printed and installed the Embiggened, braced, reversed, Prusa Mk3 Einsy enclosure on March 7th. Then you posted your remix on March 8th. What was it about the Embiggened case that you didn't like that drove you to design your own brace, not to mention to take the extra effort to un-install the Embiggened version and go back to stock MK3 einsy base + your brace?
Please see my response above as to why I made this.
Clever approach to z-bracing! I was going to do M8 rod bracing like on my MK2, but I'll give this a shot!
Will this fit the Raspberry Pi? And I reckon that without hinges, it will be slightly more difficult to gain access to the Einsy board - but really its just a couple screws and how often do you use those hinges anyway?
BTW you should be able to use drop-in T-nuts if you don't want to disassemble the rear frame. Could you post a model with M4 and M5 holes rather in addition to m3 holes? This will give folks that already have t-nuts an option to use them.
I used the original R1 door downloaded from Prusa and modded it to create this part so it has the same placement as the door. As such the base unit (the one with the board) is in exactly the same spot, so ti wouldn't affect Pi Zero mod that connects to the outside of it, and Pi that mounts to the outside or top of the base unit. Underneath is a different story. This brace takes up 5.2 mm of space underneath next to the frame, so it would interfere with anything within that range of the frame underneath.
Drop in nuts pivot around and are more trouble than unscrewing the eight frame screws. It is highly recommended to use either the included single barnut for M3 12mm or use a pair of any M3 drop in nut or alternate slide in M3 nut such as this one I made here - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3485055.
Plaidbear, you're right - thank you for the additional info. I printed both parts in PETG and it is working great! the PETG slide-in T-nuts work way better than I expected. I think Prusa should make it this way by default.
I will post a photo of my build shortly.
can it be printed in PLA or should it be in PETG?
It probably should be in PETG since the rest of the parts are in PETG and in this form, unlike the stock door which was already in PETG, is also now a new structural part for the printer.

Does Salman Rushdie Exist?
Taking stock after Rushdie's non-appearance at the Jaipur Literary Festival.
This essay first appeared in Current Intelligence, an online and quarterly bulletin of current affairs, on 30 January 2012. It is republished here by kind permission of Thesiger & Company Limited.
The recent controversy over Salman Rushdie's non-appearance at the Jaipur Literary Festival has been widely understood in the stereotyped terms of a threat to the freedom of expression. The belligerence of those Muslims protesting Rushdie's presence, of course, as well as the eagerness of some Indian authorities to humour them, was entirely reprehensible. But lost in the anodyne narrative about free expression was also the controversy's political meaning, which I will argue had little to do either with Rushdie or indeed the offended religious sentiments of certain Muslims. Instead this celebrated author has been reduced to a kind of billboard upon which almost any cause can be advertised, and it is in this purely functional guise that he is recognized in India, whether by supporters for whom "Salman Rushdie" represents the long siege of free expression in that country, or detractors who gain visibility for a variety of unrelated agendas by threatening him. In this sense Rushdie, whose literary reputation has been in decline since The Satanic Verses, is no longer a writer at all but more like one of his own fictional characters, Gibreel Farishta to some and Mahound for others. The one thing not at issue in the Jaipur controversy was some theologically motivated attack on the freedom of expression.
Of course Rushdie's many defenders all recognize the opportunistic element in the threats levelled at him in Jaipur, tied as these were to the calculations of electoral politics in the state of Uttar Pradesh, where a number of parties are jockeying for the support of Muslim voters. This is why Rushdie's previous appearance at the festival, in 2007, and his visits to India more generally created no stir. But instead of attending more closely to these circumstances in order to think seriously about the changing place and politics of free speech in contemporary India, its proponents have lapsed into an anachronistic narrative about circumscribing the reach of religious dogma in social life. In doing so these individuals have betrayed an attitude as "theological" as that attributed to their enemies. None have expressed a scintilla of self-doubt about this narrative or bothered to submit the position of their opponents to critical scrutiny, even as they routinely berate the latter for behaving in exactly this manner. Rushdie himself led the way here, claiming quite falsely in a television interview with the Indian journalist Barkha Dutt that the famously nationalist seminary of Deoband, whose secretary-general had sought to prevent his visit to Jaipur, was responsible for the Taliban's emergence.
Rushdie's defenders claim that India's tolerance of threats against free expression has remained unchanged since 1988, when The Satanic Verses was first banned, and that this tolerance is on display today in the Indian government's efforts to win Muslim votes. This shows a decided contempt for history. Neglecting as they do the great transformations that Indian society has undergone in the last two decades for an account in which everything is timeless, they are unable to grasp the nature even of those political circumstances making for the controversy in which they are engaged. Far from illustrating yet another example of pandering to "vote banks," today's politics of Muslim representation in Uttar Pradesh, but also in the country as a whole, is unprecedented in the history of independent India. For the country's large population of impoverished and marginalized Muslims, lacking any credible leadership, stands today on the threshold of its most significant transformation since the partition of British India in 1947. Having quite understandably lost their political character with the creation of Pakistan that year, India's Muslims have in the past half-century participated in their country's politics mostly as self-seeking opportunists, supplicants, fixers or, at most, as the holders of a balance of power at the local level.
Today these Muslims are poised for inclusion in the vast system of reservations (positive discrimination or affirmative action in education and employment) that have in the last two decades propelled lower caste groups to political power in India. Problematic and contradictory though it is in many respects, the system of reservations nevertheless constitutes the primary way in which political integration and empowerment is now achieved in the country. It is because Muslims have not been integrated into India's political process that they are amenable to "religious" forms of mobilization as well as militancy. Integrating Muslims by invoking caste reservations as a model, however, not only risks displacing religion as a mobilizing factor, but is already beginning to fragment this "community" along socio-economic lines, with "backward" groups preferred over "forward" ones. Attempts to create Muslim solidarity on a strictly religious basis, then, might well indicate a desire among some to forestall such an eventuality, creating media-amplified controversies like the one in Jaipur to jockey for position by in effect depoliticizing Muslims. For these forms of solidarity are invariably defensive and politically negative in nature, being incapable of proposing any vision of a future for the community. Given its lack of any popular response, however, this particular attempt seems to have failed as far as India's Muslims are concerned.
None of this is of any concern to the defenders of free expression, who are thus unable to understand the controversy that so preoccupies them, one in which Rushdie and his writing are, strictly speaking, irrelevant. This failure of understanding, I suspect, is built into the anachronistic language of freedom of expression, which is premised upon the existence of theological and other illiberal threats directed against it. But apart from some invocations of apostasy, which lent the radical novelty of Muslim protest in 1988 a suitably medieval veneer, this was not even the case in the original "Rushdie Affair," when the closest Muslim protestors came to a theological argument was to demand that their religion be included under Britain's blasphemy law. In other words the only traditionally religious element of that controversy had to do with Christianity, and with the desire of Muslim immigrants to be integrated into British society. Otherwise Muslims demonstrating against Rushdie referred to their feelings of outrage at his depiction of Muhammad by using the secular language of libel, defamation and hate-speech. Even the Ayatollah Khomeini's infamous edict made no reference to any theological point, not least because his Shiite creed gives no credence to the story of scriptural interpolation upon which Rushdie's offending book was based.
Great writers are meant to have a privileged insight into the societies and issues they analyze, but Rushdie was alone in focusing on the religious element of the controversy that overtook him. For the weight that The Satanic Verses gave the eminently theological issue of scriptural interpolation evoked no response from his Muslim foes. These men and women were concerned instead with defending a prophet who seems to have lost his religious status and become a ward of his followers, vulnerable to attack precisely because he was no longer a theological figure but integral rather for their personal identity. Indeed one reason why even the most virulent attacks on God give rise to no upheaval in the Muslim world, something that only insults to the Prophet and his Book are capable of doing, is because the former has suffered a kind of "death" while the latter has increasingly been divested of his metaphysical attributes. Providing as it did an occasion for the first great demonstration of Islam's globalization, the "Rushdie Affair" also signalled the breakdown of traditional metaphysics and theological modes of authority to democratize Islam, as if in a Reformation of the kind that so many critics of Muslim radicalism yearn for without realizing the violent consequences this event had for Christian Europe.
As an admirer of Rushdie's earlier work I remember being disappointed when The Satanic Verses first came out in 1988. It wasn't provocative enough in my eyes, being taken up with an undergraduate reading of a theological issue that had long become irrelevant in the Muslim world. I also found the book annoying because it made no attempt to address those whose beliefs it apparently dealt with, instead situating its author in a position familiar from colonial times, as the native informant there to traduce his people for the pleasure and plaudits of foreigners. Of course this did not justify threatening Rushdie with violence or even banning his book, but what I found interesting was the fact that in the course of the controversy his Muslim critics managed to forcibly insert themselves into the exclusive conversation he had set up with their religion as its subject. Unacceptable as they were, the threats against Rushdie offered him the opportunity to become a real hero in the cause of free expression. But he has never had the courage of his convictions, first voicing his contempt of Rajiv Gandhi for banning the book in a context where Indian citizens were being killed in police firing, then apologizing to the Iranian regime for writing it, only to recant once again when his contrition wasn't deemed to go far enough.
Even in Jaipur, where there was no credible threat to Rushdie's person, as he admitted in a television interview with Barkha Dutt, the great defender of free expression chose to stay away in order, he said, to protect others from possible violence. These are noble sentiments, no doubt, but crowds can be controlled and buildings secured, with Rushdie's arrival in the city capable of galvanizing both the government and his supporters to face the threat they so persistently inveigh against. Was it not a risk worth taking for the cause of freedom of expression? But these apostles of the principle have always shirked displaying the kind of courage by which India's own freedom was won, instead calling for the deployment of the state's repressive force against their enemies. Well, they are entitled by law to such protection, but the inability to stand up for so dearly held a principle in its absence does little to inspire confidence. The only people who behaved with dignity during this sorry affair were the organizers of the Jaipur Literary Festival, who understood their duty to the organization, its sponsors, participants and audience, and in doing so realized the shallowness of the posturing over free expression that threatened to derail the event. Perhaps the refusal of any political party in the country to weigh in on this controversy, even if only to score debating points with a rival, has little to do with some absurd fear of alienating voters. It is motivated rather by the recognition of Rushdie's anachronism in today's India, with its many new problems and great promise for a democratic future.

Lyft surpasses Uber in downloads after protest controversy
By Chris Perez
January 30, 2017 | 7:45pm | Updated January 31, 2017 | 11:36am
State liquor authority threatens delivery services over hefty fees
City bus and train drivers busted moonlighting for Uber and Lyft: report
Uber driver pulls out sex toy on cops who feared it was a gun
Creepy Uber driver who groped sleeping passenger gets 3-year sentence
Lyft surpassed Uber in daily app store downloads for the first time ever this weekend in the midst of the "#DeleteUber" social media campaign, reports said.
The ride-hailing company has been trying to keep up with its San Francisco-based rival for years — and had suffered from a 10-to-1 margin in terms of valuation in 2016, according to SFist.
But that all changed Sunday, thanks in large part to the sweeping, #DeleteUber campaign that has been launched in response to President Trump's travel ban on refugees from certain Muslim nations.
Disgusted Uber customers have been deleting the app in droves after learning how the company defied a taxi strike that was supposed to be taking place at JFK Airport — where numerous refugees were being detained over the weekend.
The New York Taxi Workers Alliance had urged drivers to protest Trump's executive order by not picking up fares at the airport on Saturday night. Uber not only continued to send its drivers, it turned off its surge pricing in an attempt to drum up more business.
The move didn't sit well with riders — and while Lyft also remained operational during the period, numbers showed that many were turning to the second-tier livery service as a result.
According to App Annie, Lyft saw more daily downloads on iOS than Uber on Sunday — jumping from a ranking of #39 in the free apps charts to #4 by 4 p.m. Monday, TechCrunch reports.
A spokesperson for the San Francisco-based analytics firm told the Verge that Lyft managed to more than double its daily average from the previous two weeks. On Monday, they were sitting ahead of Instagram, Snapchat, Youtube and Facebook on the free apps list.
Anti-Trump protesters are refusing to use Uber
Disgusted Uber customers are deleting the ride-sharing app in droves...
Since its inception, Lyft has marketed itself as a friendlier, more casual alternative to Uber.
The company tried to take this stance yet again Sunday, by pledging to donate $1 million to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) as the #DeleteUber campaign continued to gain traction.
"Banning people of a particular faith or creed, race or identity, sexuality or ethnicity, from entering the U.S. is antithetical to both Lyft's and our nation's core values," Lyft co-founders John Zimmer and Logan Green said in a joint statement. "We stand firmly against these actions, and will not be silent on issues that threaten the values of our community.
While Uber did later announce that they also would be providing three months of compensation to drivers who may be stranded overseas due to Trump's travel ban, their decision to not join in on the protest at JFK was apparently too much to bear.
Thousands joined in on the #DeleteUber campaign throughout the weekend, including celebrities from all walks of entertainment.
"Goodbye @Uber. Hello @lyft." Susan Sarandon tweeted Monday.
"DELETING @UBER RIGHT THE F–K NOW!!!" wrote Taraji P. Henson, star of Empire.
"If you support HATE YO ASS GETS DELETED #BYEB—H," she added.
The fact that Uber CEO Travis Kalanick is set to serve as an economic adviser to President Trump hasn't been helping matters, either.
"We must be mindful of where we spend our $ & the people we're making rich [sic]," tweeted comedian Billy Eichner. "I've used @UBER constantly & loved it. Using @Lyft as of today."

So far Emmanuel Monnereau has created 11 blog entries.
We are very proud to be nominated to the Game Audio Awards. Congrats to Guillaume our talented sound designer / composer for his work.
Let's discuss Mechanicus' design with RPS.
We were offered by RPS to talk of Mechanicus' design pillars.
We tried to provide as much details about our thought process and decisions as we could remember.
Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus – 1.1.1 is here!
Read the full news directly on Steam.
Or have a look at the changelog.
Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus is out on Steam!
After almost 2 years we are very proud to launch Mechanicus! The all team is exhausted but incredibly proud of the work accomplished. We wish all of you a lot of fun playing the game as we had creating it.
You can already get it here.
We can finally announce it, we're making a Warhammer 40,000 game! Featuring the Adeptus Mechanicus! We can't tell you much more yet but stay tuned as there will be more announcements soon.
By the end of the year 2017 we created a tech demo to test new technology implementation, evaluate our skill and possibly prepare our post Mechanicus project. It was an interesting experience for the team as we tried to catch a specific mood. This demo was made in a very short time span to evaluate the viability of the project. It raised a lot of questions we hope to answer some day.
After Crowntakers' release we started to design what would be our next project. We had our keywords: space, simulation, group. We had long discussion about the kind of experience we wanted to deliver. We wanted to integrate an exploration component in production while also focusing on narrative and survivors' relationships.
Unfortunately we failed to raise the money necessary to deliver a proper vertical slice. Anyway we still like this concept and we might look at it again in a far future.
Crowntakers – Undead Undertakings is out now.
You can get it here. If you're not convinced yet let me had that it has undeads, necromancers, life steal, special runes and a secret portal.

Impeachment 101: The Basics
Breaking Down the Rhetoric
December 5, 2019
For only the fourth time in America's 230-year history, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives has called for the impeachment of our president. While the media deliver the play-by-play, commentary, and analysis, these are the nuts and bolts that they won't explain to you.
THE FOUR PRESIDENTIAL IMPEACHMENTS
On February 24, 1868, the House impeached President Andrew Johnson for relatively minor crimes, including violating the Tenure of Office Act. The Senate declined to convict him and he finished his term in March 1869.
On July 27, 1974, the House Judiciary Committee recommended Articles of Impeachment against President Richard Nixon for obstruction of justice, violating the constitutional rights of citizens, and abuse of power. Nixon resigned on August 9, before the full House had a chance to vote on the Articles.
While Nixon would probably have been impeached and convicted, he was not.
On December 19, 1998, the House adopted impeachment articles against President William Clinton for perjury and obstruction of justice. On February 12, 1999, the Senate declined to convict him and he finished his term of office on January 20, 2001.
On December 5, 2019, Speaker Nancy Pelosi asked the House to draft and adopt impeachment articles against Donald Trump. The specific charges are to be determined, but could include bribery, obstruction of justice, violating the Constitution's emoluments clause, and abuse of power. He will not be charged with treason because he hasn't committed treason. At this writing, the House vote is scheduled for December 19.
These are the definitions of some terms that the media and politicians use with which most Americans are unfamiliar.
Using the power and privileges of one's position for personal gain.
An official representative from one nation or organization to another.
Money, valuables, or an act given, or promised, in order to influence a person in a position of trust.
Burisma Holdings Limited is a holding company for a group of energy exploration and production companies. It is based in Kyiv, Ukraine, but registered in Limassol, Cyprus. Burisma Holdings has operated in the Ukrainian natural gas market since 2002. It is one of the largest private natural gas producers in Ukraine. (Wikipedia)
The legislative (law-making) branch of the United States government. It consists of BOTH the House of Representatives AND the Senate. There is no such thing as "Congress and the Senate".
Congressional Committee
A small, formal group of legislators – in the House or the Senate – which reviews potential legislation and finances, and conducts oversight of government agencies, within its subject area.
The Constitution gives each chamber of Congress – the House and the Senate – the power to make its own rules of procedure.
Congress has chosen to do most of its work through committees.
The committee member from the majority party who has the most seniority.
The chair controls the committee's work.
Refusal to follow lawful, proper instructions from a court or from Congress.
The rights and procedures guaranteed to a criminal defendant, and to the general public, by the Constitution and its laws. No criminal suspect has due process rights until s/he is arrested and charged with a crime. Due process rights are defined in amendments four, five, and six of the Constitution.
A clause in the Constitution which prohibits any person holding any government office from accepting any "present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State" without the consent of Congress. (Article I. Section 9. Clause 8.)
High Crimes and Misdemeanors
This isn't a thing. It's two things.
There are high crimes, which are major, serious crimes – felonies – and misdemeanors – smaller, less serious crimes.
To accuse a person of a crime, or to cast doubt upon someone, such as a witness.
Indict
To officially charge a person in a formal criminal procedure.
Deliberately interfering with the process of justice and law by influencing, threatening, harming, or preventing a witness, potential witness, juror, or judicial or legal officer from doing her/his job, or by giving false information in or otherwise impeding an investigation or legal process.
A Latin phrase meaning "this for that". It means that two parties agree to trade items, information, or acts so that the trade benefits both of them. It is not necessarily illegal. Every contract contains a quid pro quo, meaning that one party gives something, usually money, in exchange for a product or service from the other party. A quid pro quo is illegal when the components of the deal are illegal.
The plural is not "quid pro quos". It's QUIDS pro quo.
It is not necessary for a party to say the phrase quid pro quo for the event to exist.
The member of a congressional committee from the minority party with the most seniority.
There is only one ranking member on each committee.
A formal instruction from a court or other lawful body for a person to appear in a court or meeting to give testimony.
Subpoena Duces Tecum
A formal order for a person to appear and to bring documents or other items for the court's examination.
Treason is the only crime defined in the Constitution.
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court. (Article III. Section 3)
The US Supreme Court has defined an enemy as a nation with which we are in an active, declared war.
A country in eastern Europe, between Poland, Russia, and the Black Sea. It was formerly part of the Soviet Union and is currently in a dispute with Russia over an area called Crimea.
Only the president, vice president, and appointed high-ranking public officials can be impeached.
Elected members of Congress can not be impeached. Career bureaucrats can be fired, but not impeached.
Impeachment means accusing a public official with an offense.
Impeachment does not mean that a public official loses her/his job.
The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.
(US Constitution. Article II. Section 4.)
Can't Indict a Sitting President
This is a lie. It is, and has always been, possible and legal to indict any sitting president for any crime.
The current US Department of Justice has announced that it will refuse to do so under any circumstances.
A person or organization found to be guilty of whatever crime(s) with which they have been duly charged and tried.
If Trump Is Convicted and Refuses to Leave
Once a president is convicted in a Senate impeachment trial, s/he is fired and expelled from office.
Then the vice president takes the oath of office and becomes president. We only have one president at a time. It's unlikely, but if Donald Trump did refuse to leave the White House, the Secret Service, backed up by the US Marshals and the Capital Police, would physically remove him from the premises.
Can Mike Pence Pardon Donald Trump?
The president has the … Power to Grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment. (US Constitution. Article II. Section 2. Clause 1.)
So Pence could not pardon Trump for the actual impeachment conviction, but could pardon him for the underlying crimes, so that he couldn't be tried for them in a regular criminal court.
What if Donald Trump and Mike Pence are Both Impeached and Convicted?
If Trump and Pence are both impeached and convicted, then the Speaker of the House of Representatives – Nancy Pelosi – would become president. She would nominate a new vice president, to be confirmed by both chambers of Congress, just as Gerald Ford did when Richard Nixon resigned in 1974.
If Trump is impeached, convicted, and expelled, would Hillary Clinton become president?
NO. The Constitution specifically states that the vice president will become president In Case of the Removal of the President from Office, or of his Death, Resignation, or Inability to discharge the Powers and Duties of the said Office.
(Article II. Section 1. Clause 6.)
Neither the Constitution nor federal laws outline the impeachment process.
Since impeachments are rare, Congress has never legislated it. They rely on their own rules, which can change easily. In this instance, they're relying primarily on a process adopted in 2015 by the Republican-majority House led by Speaker John Boehner. And the Republicans are whining that "It's not fair!"
So far, the House Intelligence and Judiciary Committees have held hearings to determine whether the House should take further steps. Trump and his lawyers have been whining that the House is "violating his due process rights". However, as in any criminal investigation, the suspect doesn't have "due process rights" unless and until s/he is formally arrested and charged with crimes.
Speaker Pelosi has invited Trump to testify to the committees, but he has refused.
He will have due process rights to question witnesses, call witnesses in his behalf, and testify himself during the Senate trial.
Every media outlet will surely cover the House impeachment debate and vote, and the Senate trial and its vote in excruciating detail. If you can't watch all of it, I'm sure there will be several good summaries available. C-SPAN always has good material available. This is a historic event. Please try to follow as much as you can.
Every American adult should know these things.
Your high school didn't bother to teach you this stuff because they don't want you to know it.
Political ignorance breeds political impotence. That's what they want.
On December 18, a national coalition of progressive organizations will sponsor rallies and demonstrations in nearly a hundred American cities demanding that Congress IMPEACH AND REMOVE Trump from office.
You can find most of them on the Facebook Events list.
Please consider joining one.

Tiberias (hebreiska: טְבֶרְיָה Tverya; arabiska: طبريةṬabariyyah) är en stad vid västra stranden av Galileiska sjön i Israel. Den uppkallades efter kejsar Tiberius.

Historia

Antiken
Tiberias grundades omkring år 20 av Herodes Antipas, son till Herodes den store, vid platsen där den ödelagda byn Rakkat var belägen, och Tiberias blev huvudstad i hans del av Galiléen. Den fick sitt namn efter Antipas skyddspatron, den romerske kejsaren Tiberius.

Tiberias namn i Romarriket, och därav på svenska, var den grekiska formen Τιβεριάς Tiberiás. Under Herodes tid vägrade judarna att bo där, eftersom de menade att det faktum att det fanns en begravningsplats där gjorde staden rituellt oren. Antipas tvingade folk från jordbruksområdena i Galiléen att flytta till den nya staden. Den judiska domstolen Sanhedrin flydde från Jerusalem under den stora judiska revolten mot Romarriket, och med tiden hamnade den i Tiberias. Det var den plats där domstolen slutligen var, när den förbjöds under tidigt bysantinsk tid. Sedan judarna fördrivits från Jerusalem efter år 135, blev Tiberias och grannstaden Sepphoris den judiska kulturens viktigaste centra.

År 613 ägde den judiska revolten mot Bysantinska riket rum i Tiberias. Efter arabernas erövring, tilläts 70 familjer från Tiberias att återvända till Jerusalem. Kaliferna i Umayyaddynastin uppförde ett av sina palats i norra Tiberias, vid Khirbet al-Minya.

Medeltiden
Staden förföll under den bysantinska och arabiska tiden. Till detta bidrog jordbävningar och krig, däribland en mycket kraftig jordbävningen år 749 vilken förstörde flera synagogor. Trots detta blomstrade den masoretiska lärdomen i Tiberias från omkring 700-talet till slutet av 900-talet. De lärda skapade en systematiserad skrift av vokaliseringen i fornhebreiska, som fortfarande används av alla grupper inom judaismen. Den masoretiska lärdomstraditionen personifieras i Aaron ben Moses ben Asher som förfinade vokaliseringssystemet och därmed grundade vad som numera kallas tiberiansk hebreiska, och därtill sägs ha slutfört codex Aleppo, vilket är den äldsta bevarade handskriften på hebreiska, vilket är ytterligare en fingervisning om Tiberias centrala position för den hebreiska lärdomen och den medeltida judendomen i stort.

Under korstågen var Tiberias huvudstad i furstendömet Galiléen i kungadömet Jerusalem; området kallades ibland furstendömet Tiberias eller Tiberiaden. Saladin belägrade staden under sin invasion år 1187 och i oktober samma år slog han korsriddarna vid slaget vid Hattin utanför staden. Ungefär samtidigt övergavs stadens ursprungliga läge, och bosättningen flyttade norrut där den nu är belägen.

Rabbi Moshe ben Maimon, som i västvärlden är känd under namnet Moses Maimonides och är en av judendomens mest framträdande filosofer, rättsvetenskapsmän och fysiker från medeltiden, avled 1204 och begravdes i Tiberias. Hans grav är en av stadens största pilgrimsmål.

Modern tid
År 1558 erhöll judinnan Doña Gracia platsen och dess omgivande byar som gåva från Suleiman den store. Hon återuppbyggde stadsmurarna, uppförde en yeshiva, och uppmuntrade sefardiska judar som flydde från inkvisitionen att slå sig ner i staden. Tiberias hade en ny guldålder i ungefär hundra år. Sedan förföll den igen, och återuppbyggdes än en gång, av chassidiska judar.

Rabbi Moshe Chaim Luzzatto, som var en ledande etiker och kabbalist under sin samtid, avled i pesten år 1746 i närheten av hamnstaden Akko vid Medelhavet, och begravdes vid Tiberias, nära den grav som traditionellt vördas som rabbi Akivas grav.

Under 1700- och 1800-talen flyttade många rabbi till Tiberias, vilket gjorde staden till ett lärdomscenter. Därmed blev Tiberias en av judendomens fyra heliga städer, samman med Jerusalem, Hebron och Safed.

År 1938 mördade arabiska miliser 20 judar i Tiberias, under arabiska revolten i Palestina 1936-1939. Tio år senare, 1948, mördades 9 judar i staden, och flera familjer flydde av rädsla för mer massakrer. Tiberias hamnade inom det palestinska området i delningsplanen av Brittiska Palestinamandatet. Britterna krävde att judarna skulle lämna staden, och meddelade att annars skulle britterna bistå araberna i attacker mot dem. Haganah slog tillbaka Arabiska frihetsarmén, vilken leddes av Fawzi el-Kaukji, och intog arabiska bosättningar och övriga områden som de uppfattade som fientliga. De orsakade en massflykt av hela den arabiska befolkningen. Följaktligen har både Tiberias och Safed numera en allt igenom judisk befolkning.

Nutid

Tiberias är en av norra Israels mest populära semesterorter.

I oktober 2004 (Tishrei 5765), företog en kontroversiell grupp rabbi en ceremoni i Tiberias, sade att de företrädde flera grupper i Israel, och hävdade att de grundat ett nytt Sanhedrin.

Professor Yizhar Hirschfeld vid hebreiska universitetet i Jerusalem, ledde en långvarig arkeologisk utgrävning av Tiberias, med många volontärer, till sin död i november 2006.
