p.2 God, the universe and our world according to Michael Heisers 'Unseen Realm' view
Scripture ALONE or Scripture plus...
As we begin learning Scripture and its doctrines correctly we lay a truth foundation to build on. But what happens when one comes along and challenges what the foundation actually is and convinces you to remove yourself from it; the building eventually topples. And that is what I see Heiser doing to many whose ears have become attuned to his teaching.
He compares the Bible to other Mid-East cultures pagan (mythical) literature, looking at the text of the Bible through the lens of unbiblical works that were never accepted by the Church. He claims to bring out what the true view or meaning of the ancient Hebrews are (as if the Bible itself does not do this). That this will correct the beliefs of Christians of today whose doctrine is not aligned with the 'ancients.' But, it is actually his doctrine and hermeneutic principle of interpretation that is not correct.
Heiser claims the Hebrews copied the Ugarit, however renowned Archeologist, W.F. Albright wrote on the Ugarit stated,
"we now know that the Canaanites of about 1400 B. C. also employed Accadian cuneiform,
the Ugaritic cuneiform alphabet, and Egyptian hieroglyphics in order to write. We can hardly, therefore, be surprised to find archaeological discoveries confirming Israelite tradition almost always, as far as they go.
"Thus the Egyptian scribes invariably reproduce Egyptian phonetic habits and idioms, the Canaanite scribes always show that they are translating their ideas from Hebrew into Accadian, the Hittite and Hurrian scribes reflect Hittite and Hurrian linguistic practice.'
That is the opposite of what Heiser claims. He believes there is equivalence in the writings, not just in writing structure; but in revelation. He constantly slides the Ugarit into the Scripture.
Our approach to God's Word will either be from liberal or conservative hermeneutics (there can be extremes on either side).
Let me define these terms used today. A conservative view holds basically to a literal interpretation to the Word of God to determine its intentional the meaning of what the writers meant. That is our pursuit in understanding Scripture. The conservative view opposes using allegorical, symbolic, or hidden meanings, or other outside revelation[s] to reinterpret the literal reading of the Word as the primary revelation from God. Are there passages that are symbolic, allegorical, yes of course, but they will always have the intent of coinciding with the plain literal conclusion, elucidating it. And they will agree with the other doctrines contained in the Bible.
We are to believe all that is needed has been revealed to us in the Bible (2 Tim.3:16) and allow the Holy Spirit to teach us the Word to arrive at the correct conclusions. We study to show ourselves approved, rightly dividing the Word (2 Tim 2:15). Study what? The Bible and what pertains to its words, such as using a concordance or Bible dictionary.
A liberal does not necessarily hold to divine revelation and introduces other ways the Bible was written and to be interpreted, they have far less guidelines in how they arrive at their interpretation or conclusion. They will ignore the immediate context and the weight of supportive Scripture and adapt the Scripture to fit their own thinking, (not adapt their thinking to fit the Scripture in its plain primary consistent meaning.) That is what I see Heiser often.
Being subjective they try to look objective, and redefine Christian doctrine. We are not speaking of the person's worldview but their approach to Scripture to form that view.
For an obvious example the Bible says there is only one true God, that all others are God. Mr. Heiser says God created many true gods before the creation of the heavens and the earth and that these gods fell individually and became false (as he states this happened throughout history (after the flood). That is not a conservative biblical approach; but liberal.
Using a liberal approach to the Bible there are numerous ways one may interpret God's Word and arrive at different conclusions than those the scholars over the centuries have. A conservative approach, a biblical hermeneutic that seeks to find the one way that God intended us to understand His Word written through the chosen author. Heiser claims he seeks to do this, finding the Jewish way of thinking when it was written. But it's impossible to do this when you go to outside myths and use liberal writers who do not understand or believe the Scripture as God given. Or by presenting the Ugarit writings as being equivalent to the Hebrew Bible and use them to interpret Scripture.
Heiser often focuses on single Hebrew words to make his points of doctrine. Certainly one can dissect words to their umpteenth degree, using a single word to define the meaning of a thought expressed in a sentence will not always have you understand the actual meaning. God communicated his thoughts in coherent sentences. We read by sentences, not by single words.
An example: would be to say that the ancient nations have the same God as the God of the Bible, just different names, ignoring the substance the Gods of these nation taught what is different from Israel's God. (using el, or elohim). Certain points he finds of similarity are not proving sameness. For example; fruit comes from trees. If I pick an apple from a tree and I pick an orange from another tree does this mean the trees are the same tree because they produce fruit? Of course not, they are different trees that produce different fruit. Details matter when seeking spiritual truth.
Thousands of years have passed with those who have devoted their lives studying Gods Word. Serious scholars who spoke the biblical languages and devoted their time to learn and understand the Scriptures because they held them to be the truth. Along comes Heiser's novel interpretations which are based on pagan religious mythical worldviews. He profusely quotes men who are academic philosopher's who use these writings to reinterpret the Scripture, and people are awed by this man's knowledge! Heiser's approach is like a philosopher, not a theologian. He constantly uses other so called scholars to affirm his beliefs introducing other religions revelations to reinterpret what we have already known as truth.
I have come across this type of scholarship before, where one finds all the people to support their idea by blending paganism mythology and use their references as support.
What I'm finding is that many of the authors he uses in his quotes are ignorant of the Bible and are unbelievers, they do not believe in divine revelation and are even antagonists. (see this article)
My observation on this, the church is going down to the basement floor fast, you should be ashamed of yourselves, all who give any credence to the least of his ideas he has introduced (Logos Bible included). There is far, far more to disagree with than to agree with.
In fact he makes it very difficult to agree with his interpretations because of his main theme of Ps.82 discoloring sound doctrinal interpretation as he tries to fit it in everywhere as the theme of Scripture. Heiser refers to Ps 82 to confirm his view of Deut. 32 as being sons of Elohim over the nations, not the boundaries of the nations it is referring to in relation to the children of Israel.
Heiser's interpretations are ambiguous theories of Scripture strung together to make a cohesive story. But there are just as may holes as there are connections. This is because he does not believe in received 'divine revelation' from God to Moses. He uses pagan myths to reinterpret the Old Testament.
Richard Foster (who introduced eastern type meditation and new age concepts to the church using Christian terminology) has some similarities. He said in his Renovare' Bible.
"Genesis began as an oral tradition of narrative stories passed down from generation to generation….These stories [gradually] took on theological meaning….Over time [they] were written down and collected together (Gen 12-50), and a prologue (Gen 1-11) was added…. Borrowing from other creation accounts…stories with parallels to ancient Near Eastern religious narrative and mythology were reshaped with monotheistic intent ….These strands of varied materials were gathered and edited into the written text …. (Richard J. Foster, ed., The Renovaré Spiritual Formation Bible (Harper San Francisco, 2005), p.13-14.
In a like manner Heiser says, Israel took the pagans myth writings and used them as being inspired for their God. Heiser denies the verbal plenary inspiration of the Bible while embracing pagan writings as primary, written first and having influence over Israel's writings. He denies the Mosaic authorship of the Pentateuch which also questions Joshua's authorship of his book; He then advances the dating of these writings.
A spiritual problem becomes apparent as his interpretations of history are not shared with everyone, in fact real Bible scholars who know the Bible disagree. Heiser is taking the worst of paganism and like the mind melt of a Vulcan on star trek he convinces people how accurate he is on this (stating, ahem; I'm an academic).
On being a Hebrew, Heiser writes: "The first mention of a Hebrew is in Genesis 14:13 where Abraham is identified as a "Hebrew" (Eevriy in Hebrew). In Exodus 2:6 Moses is identified as one of the "Hebrews" (Eevriym in Hebrew) and throughout the Hebrew Bible the children of Israel are often identified as "Hebrews." A "Hebrew" is anyone who is descended from "Eber" (Ever in Hebrew), an ancestor of Abraham and Moses (See Genesis 10:24).
No this is not what makes one a Hebrew. If Abraham alone has to do with being a Hebrew, Arabs who are descended from Abraham are Hebrews. A Hebrew is descended from Abraham, Isaac AND Jacob (whose name was changed to Israel). This whom God says he is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of Israel.
(ebeir) 'Hebrew' means to cross over from the other side. The first time we see this mentioned is to Abram (Gen. 14:13). Abraham is a Hebrew, the father of the nation of Israel. (Exod. 6:2-3) the nation of Israel came through this lineage. The term "Hebrew" originated with Eber (great-grandson of Shem, who was the son of Noah), and through most of biblical history the term was used when Jews identified themselves to Gentiles, as Jonah did (1:9).
Heiser's explanation lacks specificity.
He also states the "law as though every one of its 663 commands. "(Chapt. 21 God's Law, God's Council, Unseen Realm) Moses returned from the mountain with 613 commands (10 written by God on tablets), 603 were spoken orally after the ten were written; (not 663 commands) then they were all written down. Heiser says there are "663 commands," which no one can agree to.
Where is all his information on this coming from - not the Bible.
Heiser claiming that Genesis was not written by Moses but was basically done 600 AD is flat out ridiculous. but that's what liberals believe.
3. Moses or someone soon after Moses' death recorded events in Moses' life and leadership period, from the exodus, to Sinai, and through the wilderness. I think the law and Sinai episodes were recorded, along with narration of events as the Israelites traveled. Who knows how much? https://drmsh.com/mosaic-authorship-torah-problems-documentary-hypothesis-jedp-part-3/
If Genesis is put to paper 800 years after Exodus and Deuteronomy how do we expect any accuracy in the Bible. So where does he get this information from?
El of the Ugarit is el of the Hebrew
Unger's Dictionary -The Ras Shamra literature speaks of Canaan as the "land of El," where this deity was absolute in authority over lesser gods. El rapidly declined, however, and was largely supplanted by the worship of Baal, who was equally demoralizing. The Heb. name of God, El, has, of course, no connection with paganism, but is a simple generic term. (M.F.U. BIBLIOGRAPHY: M. H. Pope, El in the Ugaritic Texts (1955); F. M. Cross, Theological Dictionary of the Old Testament, ed. G. J. Botterweck and H. Ringgren (1977), 1:242–60.)
This is not Heiser's view as he uses el as a proper name of God used in the Ugarit. Those who believe Heiser's view are taken for a ride into his synthesizing religions, making Judaism a hybrid of their pagan neighbors, who are really their enemy and Gods enemy.
"I don't think this patriarchal document was written by two writers with competing agendas. I think the patriarchal oral history had "El language" for God since that was the name of God prior to the exodus event" https://drmsh.com/mosaic-authorship-torah-problems-documentary-hypothesis-jedp-part-3/
He is in accurate he was known as YHWH elohim (even in Genesis), the I AM.
Michael Heiser is not the first to do this conglomeration of truth and myths. We found that when Daniel Kikawa "gleaned" his quotes he often took the weakest theoretical explanations from certain anthropologists and used conjecture to prove his point. This changed the meanings of many of the author's writings he quoted, inserting what he wanted it to say because of his own predilections.
On p.54 of Perpetuated in Righteousness (4th ed.) Kikawa states, " We will be using the most accurate legends available." Though he states the Bible is his measuring stick of accuracy, he also says " At times, we will use parts of more corrupted versions that contain some important truth ." Unfortunately Kikawa did not distinguish the two when they are used. Notice the word "legends", these are stories that can be interpreted in various ways. Can any corrupted version actually communicate truth? And we are implicitly warned about believing in these legends (myths) for the last days (2 Tim.4:4)
What Sandy Simpson and I wrote in "Eternity in their Hearts" can just as easily be said of Heiser. Salvaging corrupted stories and myths they try to make these religions and cultures significant like the Scripture. Heiser's angle is clearly seen by him saying that the Jews copied the Ugarit in places.
Don Richardson taught "redemptive analogies" in cultures stories. Most cultures were pagan, polytheistic and animistic. The problem is that one can find some kind of Bible story that is corrupted by another culture's redefinition nearly everywhere in the world. It is like looking for a whole book but only finding scraps of paper spread out on the ground in different nations and trying to piece them together as a puzzle when it has already been put together in "The Book," called the Bible, the book of truth.
Some people see Heiser as a conservative academic, when he quotes profusely from liberals, something conservatives do not do for their Bible interpretation. One may rightly ask is Heiser a liberal scholar inside the Church? Again, did God make the universe and all things in it after he made other gods (sounds like both Mormonism and the Urantia book). Heiser calls them a pantheon, (like the Greeks had in Paul's day). This is not the scriptures story but a synthesized retelling that uses Bible words blurring the concepts by a mythical influence.
Heiser has no parameters on what books he uses whether they are biblical books accepted or non logumena books (unaccepted) such as :Book of Jubilees"; "1 Enoch"; "Testament of Abraham, Recensions A and B"; "Testament of Job"; "Joseph and Aseneth"; "Pseudo-Phocylides"; "Testaments of the Twleve Patriarchs"; "Eupolemus"; "Pseudo-Eupolemus"; "Fragments of Pseudo-Greek Poets"; "Hellenistic Synagogal Prayers"; "Letter of Aristeas"; "Life of Adam and Eve"; "Martyrdom and Ascension of Isaiah"; "Sibylline Oracles"; "2 Baruch"; "3 Baruch"; "4 Baruch"; "Apocalypse of Daniel"; they are all used to form his theory as he picks and chooses what he seems is right from each one.
Using non canonical to prove his points only confuse people. As an example He writes of Jesus as the second power relating it to the Old Testament from the 2nd temple period but also says
"Perhaps surprisingly, another of the archangels, Raphael, was also considered to be the second power in heaven of exalted status. Despite the fact that he is "one of the seven archangels who stand before the Glory of the Lord" (Tobit 12:12, 15), Raphael is specifically called the "angel of the Lord" in Tob 12:22. Tob 11:14-15 also reveals that Raphael may have been considered by the writer as possessing the divine Name (reading with Codex Sinaiticus)" (THE DIVINE COUNCIL IN LATE CANONICAL AND NON-CANONICAL SECOND TEMPLE JEWISH LITERATURE)
Is this true? Uriel and Raphael, Phanuel are mentioned in his companion book to Enoch. He uses all these books to further illustrate bible doctrine. Books that were not accepted at the time, seen as fakes forgeries and counterfeits should not be used to teach Scripture.
The second temple period was the time of Pharasaic Judaism, where they removed the people from the Word to follow their word, traditions of the elders. They then came against Jesus who expressed the truth from Moses and expanded on the true meanings.
Heiser ignores this all encompassing fact that the Scribes (sophreim), the Pharisees added hundreds of unbiblical laws to interpret the Law of Moses (the tradition of the elders) starting 400 hundred years before Jesus. The temple at this time period were under the saducees who rejected the supernatural , angels and demons (no afterlife) Heiser portrays the second temple period adjustments as beneficial, they were not. In some ways he is repeating their mistakes.
Heiser is now reviving the influence of pagan myths, and non canonical books and using syncretism to interpret the Scripture. Heiser even says the bible quotes the Ugarit in the Old Testament, why say this unless you want people to believe the revelation of the Ugarit is from God and equal to the bible in these places. Or, that none of them are divine revelation.
People feel like they're receiving something that they are not receiving from Gods Word itself, this is caused by their own lack of accepting and understanding God's Word as his only revelation. They feel they are getting special truths that are not available to them until Heiser himself has revealed it to them. Notwithstanding, Heiser is getting these so-called historical/informational truths from pagan sources with his numerous speculative books combined with his own speculations. That should be all one needs to know to stay clear of what he is teaching.

Q: Access the Jquery element from within ready So I want to call some jQuery for each element with a class of "blah" when the document has loaded
In the function I call, i need to access inner html of the "blah"P object - however passing the function this just seems to send some sort of global document object.
What can I do to resolve this?
Apparently people want code to visualise what I'm assuming is pretty trivial.
Here:
$(".blah").ready(function(){callThisFn(this);};

...

function callThisFunction(fnThis){
   var x = $(fnThis).find("thisExists");
   alert(JSON.stringify(x)); // undefined
}

A: With jQuery the elements are accessed using id's and classes. Use this code snippet to help you:
$( document ).ready(function() {
    $('.blah').html();
});

A: Is this what you were looking for?

$(document).ready(function(){
  for(var i = 0; i<$('p.blah').length; i++){
    console.log($('p.blah').eq(i).html());
  }
})

Home / Uncategorized / General Principles to be Considered in Determining the Weight and Sufficiency of the Evidence.
Most transactions, however, are provable only by the testimony of persons who have seen or heard them. The weight to be given such testimony depends in a large measure upon the credibility of the witnesses." The deter¬mination of their credibility and of the weight of their testimony is peculiarly within the province of the jury, with which the court is not to interfere.
In weighing the evidence of witnesses, the jury may take into con¬sideration, in connection with all the surrounding facts and circumstances in the case, their means of knowledge, their seeming honesty or lack of it, their respective opportunities for seeing and knowing the things about which they testify, their conduct upon the witness stand, their manner of testifying, etc.
The manner in which a witness testifies may give rise to doubts of his sincerity and create the impression that he is giving a wrong coloring to material facts. All these things may properly be considered in determining the weight, which should be given to his statement, although there is no adverse verbal testimony adduced.
The intent and purport of the testimony of a witness must be distilled from all his words and not from any particular few torn out of context.
The interest of the witness in the result of the trial, and his consequent bias, are matters to be considered," particularly if the witness' testimony is uncor¬roborated or is contradicted by other evidence.


The lens has a focal length of 17-50 mm. Since the lens is designed to be used on a camera with smaller sensor ('APS-C') the focal length will be equivalent to 26-75 mm on your Nikon camera.
A feature worth commenting, which is also related to lens brightness, is that the brightness and maximum aperture-value remains constant regardless of focal length used. This makes it easier for you as a photographer. No matter if you are have the focus ring and focal length at 17 mm or at 50 mm the aperture value can be f/2,8.
If you buy this lens it will come with a lens hood, whose model name is "DA09".
One of two Tamron 17-50mm F/2.8 offerings, the image integrity and compositional options afforded by the SP 17-50mm F/2.8 Di-II´s wide-to-moderate-telephoto zoom characteristics are prized by experienced photographers. Both versions of the SP 17-50mm F/2.8 stem from the long-successful SP 28-75mm F/2.8—originally designed for 35mm film SLRs. Later refined to meet the needs of high-resolution digital SLRs with APS-C-format sensors, and like its further refined variant (the SP 17-50mm F/2.8 XR Di-II VC, model B005), the 17-50mm renders a picture angle range approximating a 26-78mm lens on a full frame DSLR or a 35mm SLR. A fast and constant F/2.8 maximum aperture benefits photographers in several ways, including the ability to render cluttered backgrounds well out of focus, expanded low-light shooting freedom and a brighter viewfinder image. With its mildly less complex optical formula and without tri-axial VC (Vibration Compensation), the SP 17-50mm F/2.8 Di-II (model A16) stands out as a remarkable value and a favorite of passionate photographers.
Please note: The 17-50mm became available with a built-in motor for the Nikon D40, D40X and D60 (Model A16NII) from March 2008. The A16N model which had been available up until March 2008 is only compatible with the D40/D40X/D60 in the MF mode due to the fact it doesn´t have a built-in motor."
Other (eng): Model A16 but this version adds autofocus motor for Nikon cameras.

The Screen Actors Guild's much-anticipated contract talks with producers are set to begin May 15, sources say. The negotiations will start with caucuses followed by an exchange of proposals.
SAG and AFTRA reps had proposed a May 10 start a month ago, but had also told the Alliance of Motion Picture & Television Producers that they would not launch their talks until the end of WGA negotiations.
SAG chief negotiator Brian Walton and AMPTP prexy Nick Counter met informally Monday to go over scheduling and ground rules for the talks, to be held at AMPTP headquarters in Encino. The SAG/AFTRA contract covering film and primetime series TV expires June 30.
In the meantime, Los Angeles Mayor Richard Riordan will continue his "spirit of compromise" campaign to urge both sides to avoid a strike because of its economic impact, estimated at $6.9 billion with a five-month WGA strike and a three-month SAG strike. "We are fully aware of our responsibility to the community but we certainly appreciate the Mayor's involvement," Krizman said.
"We are going to take Daniels at his word," the rep said.
Riordan is hosting a breakfast at his official residence today to celebrate the WGA's tentative deal. About 100 guests are expected, including Counter and WGA West secretary-treasurer Michael Mahern.
Jack Kyser, chief economist with the Los Angeles Economic Development Corp., said Monday that he hopes the WGA deal provides a template for the SAG negotiations.
"As an aside, you get the impression that the national media was disappointed that there was a settlement with the WGA, since they won't get to write those 'end of L.A.' stories," Kyser said.

St. John's, ANTIGUA – A poignant reminder that people with purpose are powerful is one of the central themes in Dolphin Dilemma – The Antigua and Barbuda Story, a new documentary produced by HAMAFilms Antigua for the Antigua and Barbuda Independent Tourism Promotion Corporation (ABITPC).
Set in 2004, Dolphin Dilemma – the Antigua and Barbuda Story shows how a small NGO, the Antigua and Barbuda Independent Tourism Promotion Corporation (ABITPC) led the fight to save the dolphins at "Dolphin Fantaseas" and ban the capture of these intelligent mammals in national waters.
The documentary which made its world premiere on Wednesday, May 9 at the Museum of Antigua and Barbuda features world-renowned Dolphin activists Ric O'Barry and Dr Naomi Rose, entertainment TV personality Robin Leach and former Prime Minister Baldwin Spencer. It captures the series of events over a 12-month period that literally shook the twin island state and turned the people from villains to heroes in the eyes of the international, regional and local media.
With the interest in dolphinariums growing and with almost 30 currently in operation across the Caribbean and Central America, Dolphin Dilemma: The Antigua & Barbuda Story hopes to serve as a cautionary tale of just what is at stake in pursuit of tourism dollars.
Executive producer and one of ABITPC founders, renowned diver and marine activist, Martha Watkins-Gilkes, said this was the right time to tell this story and educate a new generation who are more environmentally aware. "Dolphin prostitution" as she dubbed it, continues to be a lucrative business model but the damage to the water mammals, the environment and communities outweighs the profits to a few.
The film highlights the devastation caused by the investors and how it affected other businesses nearby. It recounts the legal journey lead by lawyer John Fuller, to get the government of the day to retract a request to harvest dolphins from the waters surrounding the island.
Marine Biologist Dr Naomi Rose said dolphins and whales are still forced to perform because they are high-ticket tourism attractions. However, in the film she outlines the reasons why the agreements to come into a territory also includes rights to capture dolphins regularly.
Watkins-Gilkes said during a Q&A following the film's premiere that small island states are very susceptible to these kinds of operations as the investors over promise but always underdeliver and in the process ruins communities. She called the making of the documentary a labor of love shared with equally passionate environmentalists. The activist believes this is just part of a larger story of the issues of dolphins in captivity in the Caribbean. A story she wants to tell on as many platforms and mediums as possible.

Remember the Name! Tu YouYou, Nobel Laureate!
October 10, 2015 in Uncategorized | Tags: artemisinin, Chinese medicine, malaria, Nobel, Tu Youyou
Remember the Name! Tu YouYou, Nobel 2015!
Chinese scientist Tu Youyou has won China's first Nobel Prize for Science – other ethnic Chinese have won Nobels, but Dr. Tu is the first to win one for work done entirely within China – and under really touch circumstances.
Tu is 84 years old. She did her work under Chairman Mao. During the cultural revolution, engineers and scientists were suspect. Her husband, an engineer, was sent to the country to work on a farm. Tu was allowed to do her research, only because Mao wanted to find a remedy for malaria, which was afflicting North Vietnam soldiers during the Vietnam War.
Tu sought a remedy in traditional Chinese medicine, found promising candidates, then did proper scientific trials on them, until she narrowed the field down to what is today known as "artimesinin", a key element in anti-malaria medicine today. Her discovery, part of Mao's "Project 523", has saved countless lives. There must be a great many more wonderful rememdies hidden in traditional Chinese medicine, waiting for proper clinical trials.
Congratulations, Tu Youyou. Your work was done "to you", "for you", for the millions who die of malaria, especially children. Well done! Many more Chinese Nobel prizes will follow, I'm sure.

United States: After Trump Blocked UN Inquiry of Racist Violence, NGOs Are Conducting Their Own | Article
by Marjorie Cohn
This article was originally published in Truthout on 22 December 2020. Marjorie Cohn is a member of the board of LRWC. For background, see the June and September 2020 joint oral statements to the UN Human Rights Council on systemic racism and unlawful use of force by police in the United States.
Shortly after the public lynching of George Floyd, the U.S. Human Rights Network and the ACLU organized an international coalition of more than 600 organizations and individuals to urge the United Nations Human Rights Council to convene a commission of inquiry to investigate systemic racism and police brutality in the United States. George Floyd's brother, Philonise Floyd, addressed the Council by video, stating, "You in the United Nations are your brothers' and sisters' keepers in America." He implored the UN, "I'm asking you to help us — Black people in America."
However, the Trump administration lobbied heavily against this investigation, objecting to limiting the inquiry to the U.S. The Council subsequently declined a request by a group of African countries within the Council to establish the inquiry commission. "The outcome is a result of the pressure, the bullying that the United States did, assisted by many of its allies," said Jamil Dakwar, the ACLU's human rights program director.
But the Council did task the High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet with preparing a report by June 2021 on "systemic racism, violations of international human rights law against Africans and people of African descent by law enforcement agencies, especially those incidents that resulted in the death of George Floyd and other Africans and people of African descent, to contribute to accountability and redress for victims." In Resolution 43/1, the Council did not limit the subject matter of the report to violations in the United States.
To assist in the preparation of Bachelet's report, the Council called for input from several entities, including nongovernmental organizations.
The International Association of Democratic Lawyers, National Conference of Black Lawyers and National Lawyers Guild responded to that call by establishing their own International Commission of Inquiry on Systemic Racist Police Violence Against People of African Descent in the United States.
Rutgers University law professor emeritus Lennox Hinds, who conceived of the idea for the commission, told Truthout, "This International Commission of Inquiry is an attempt to give voice to the international outrage resulting from the public lynching of George Floyd and to expose the racist and systemic nature of police violence against people of African descent in the United States and to hold the U.S. government accountable before the international community."
Twelve commissioners, including prominent judges, lawyers, professors, advocates and UN special rapporteurs from Pakistan, South Africa, Japan, India, Nigeria, France, Costa Rica, the United Kingdom and the West Indies will hold public hearings from January 18 to February 6.
The commission will hear evidence in 50 cases of police violence that occurred throughout the United States from 2010-2020, including the killings of George Floyd, Michael Brown, Eric Garner, Breonna Taylor and Tamir Rice. Many resulted in the deaths of unarmed or nonthreatening African Americans.
Although the commission won't have the money and resources a UN investigation would have commanded (were it not for Trump's obstruction), the scope of this inquiry will go beyond the Council's resolution by giving voice to the families of Black victims of police brutality.
Testimony of victims' lawyers and family members, community representatives and acknowledged experts will occur in 25 cities via Zoom. The commissioners will prepare a report for submission to the UN high commissioner and the public by the end of March. They will be assisted in the hearings and preparation of their report by a team of four rapporteurs, including this writer. Students and faculty from Rutgers Law School will provide research support.
The commissioners will ask the UN high commissioner to use our report to inform her report to the Council. We will also publicize our report widely in the United States and throughout the world for people to use in litigation and advocacy.
This will be a thorough investigation of anti-Black violence perpetrated by police in the United States. It will examine: 1) Cases of victims of police violence, extrajudicial killings and maiming of people of African descent and entrenched structural racism in police practices throughout the U.S.; and 2) The structural racism and bias in the criminal "justice" system that results in the impunity of law enforcement officers for violations of U.S. and international law.
The commission will analyze whether several instances of police violence against African Americans violated international law. A 2020 study of the 20 largest cities in the United States found none whose lethal force policies complied with international human rights law and standards.
Finally, the commission will consider the lack of accountability for violations of human rights, and recommend effective measures to end impunity in the future.
Treaties the United States ratifies become part of U.S. law under the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution. They are the "supreme law of the land." The U.S. has ratified three human rights treaties that enshrine the right to life, the right to be free from torture and the right to be free from discrimination. All three require effective measures be taken for violations of the rights protected by those treaties.
During the hearings, the testimony will describe instances of police violence that deprived African Americans of the right to life, and the rights to be free from torture and discrimination.
"We want the [UN] high commissioner [Michelle Bachelet] to actually use this report," said Kerry McLean, a member of the steering committee that is establishing the commission. "She's not doing hearings, so we're doing hearings."
The hearings will be accessible to the public. The report and findings of the commission will be published in English.

Home News Joe Hart took City rejection to heart
Joe Hart took City rejection to heart
The goalkeeper lost his place at City to Claudio Bravo.
Joe Hart has talked about the impact not feeling wanted by Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola had on his mental health.
The former England goalkeeper, 33, fell out of favour under the Spanish coach in 2016. Guardiola favoured Claudio Bravo over him primarily because he felt his ball-playing skills were stronger to build from the back.
Hart, who is now at Burnley, made the admission in a conversation with the Duke of Cambridge in a programme called 'Football, Prince William and our Mental Health' which airs on BBC One on Thursday evening.

Asked by the Prince what had been the biggest whack he had endured in his career, Hart said: "It will sound pathetic but it's the truth, it's not playing and not being wanted.
"Things happened with the new manager at Manchester City, probably the most important manager in the world.
"He didn't even necessarily not like me, he just had a certain aspect which he didn't feel I was up to, and it kind of dropped from there."
Hart admits his current struggles to break into the first team at Turf Moor is also tough, but says he is treating it as a "challenge".
"It's certainly the lowest point of my footballing career but it's not a dark cloud," he said.

"I'm comfortable with what's going on. Yeah I'm sad, yeah I'm disappointed that I'm not playing, because I know what I want to be, I know where I should be, I know what I can bring to the game.
"At the moment I'm not being picked, simple as that. You know, at school, not being picked…and that's hard. I feel like right now could be a real dark time for me, but it's not, I see it as a challenge."
The Prince, who is president of the Football Association, is heavily involved in the organisation's 'Heads Up' campaign which works to promote around mental health awareness.

Robin Hood helps sing Nottingham's praises in new musical video
The Robin Hood Statue is one of the first images to appear in a new musical tribute.
Local "minstrels", Brian Lund and Richard Williams have written a catchy song, "Nottingham (Take Me Back), that takes the listener on a reminiscent, musical journey reflecting some of the attractions of Nottingham and Nottinghamshire and what the City and County are famous for.
In their YouTube video of the song, available at www.youtube.com/watch?v=FV848bkMZPI , you can watch the duo strolling through some familiar local landmarks and singing the praises of their home city.
The song is the latest of several Nottingham tribute songs that have appeared over the decades. In 1992, chart-topping local pop group Paper Lace, ("Billy Don't Be A Hero" and "The Night Chicago Died") wrote and recorded a song called "Nottingham", as a novel marketing initiative to promote tourism and economic development in the City. It was released on the specially formed "Sheriff" label and was distributed worldwide and received numerous airplays on radio stations around the globe. The record was also pressed in a special 12" vinyl format and packaged in an "It's A Record!" promotional sleeve that included a full-colour fold-out wall chart containing some unusual statistical facts about Nottingham landmarks and celebrities.
Do you know of any other songs written about the City or County? They can be amateur compositions by local singers and songwriters and be in any musical genre ranging from folk and blues to pop and classical.
You can also read about some of the many songs that have been written about ROBIN HOOD in the "Rocking Robin" feature in the "Robin Hood in Music" section of the website, accessed through the Home Page.

Serenity focuses on Baker Dill (Matthew McConaughey), captain of the fishing boat Serenity. At the start of this tale, his luck is running out. The fish aren't coming, and he's not raking in any income. However, he does have a loving woman by his side and a loyal first mate. All in all, it's a simple life. Then, his ex-wife Karen (Anne Hathaway) steps into the picture — blonde, beautiful, and dangerously tempting. She approaches Dill with a very specific request: kill her husband (Jason Clarke) so that she and their son can be freed from his abusive reign.
At first glance, the premise of the film seems like that of any other thriller. The story itself also doesn't feel particularly extraordinary throughout the first half of the film. Karen is desperate for Dill to release her from her abusive relationship. Their son, Patrick (Rafael Sayegh), locks himself in his room, eyes glued to his computer screen.
During the first half of the film, there are multiple nebulous concepts that are constantly addressed by the inhabitants of Plymouth island: luck, morality, right and wrong. The way these ideas are thrown about feels arbitrary. Some inhabitants of the island criticize Dill's obsession with catching tuna. "You just gotta catch the fish that's in your head" is a common phrase that comes up. The barkeep of the island and Duke (Djimon Hounsou), Dill's first mate, constantly badger Dill about his loss of luck and how he should find ways to remedy his bout of unluckiness. At first, it's uncertain why these things matter. Is the island generally this superstitious? Why does it feel like everyone's trying to treat the problems of this one ordinary man?
Then Karen shows up with her own problems, and the confusion starts mounting from this point onward. It was hard to continue watching, as it felt like Knight kept adding more and more storylines that seemed to lead nowhere. Karen wants Dill to kill her husband. She wants him to do it to protect their son, but also so she and Dill can rekindle their former love? But where did Dill's second wife go in all of this? Why does a black cat keep showing up out of nowhere, aside from signaling an omen of bad luck? Why does everyone suddenly seem omniscient about Karen and Dill's situation, despite all circumstances pointing to the fact that they shouldn't know anything to begin with? Why is everyone so fixated on the idea of Dill catching tuna?
All of these questions mount on the viewer, building an uncomfortable tension that only frustrates. What makes it worse is the almost comical cinematography. Notably, in the scene when Karen is introduced, the camera pans to her and then frantically revolves around her like a bee. The effect in that one scene was enough to take me aback and question why I was in that theater, watching this film. It was enough to make me skeptical of what I was watching.
Then the climax of the movie comes with answers. Suddenly, everything makes sense, but it definitely takes time to come around to the idea Knight tries to present to his viewers. Fortunately, the film allows viewers to adjust because Dill must always come to terms with the news of his reality. This is when McConaughey particularly shows off his prowess as an excellent actor. From his anger and frustration to his skepticism to his acceptance of the whole situation, the transition of ideas is smooth for both his character and the viewer. The big "ah-ha" moment explodes in our faces but leaves behind a clean slate upon which we can redraw our understanding of the situation.
I do think there is a certain genius in what Knight does. He takes the classic concept of a thriller murder story and puts a modern twist on it. However, the familiarity of the concept did easily lend itself to clichés, which is another thing the film suffers from. From Anne Hathaway's breathy-voiced fashion beauty to Jason Clarke's drunken buffoon of an abusive husband, it wasn't hard to ultimately predict the outcome of the overall story.
The final verdict? Ultimately, the movie was a satisfying watch, despite the rocky first act. Fans of Matthew McConaughey or the thriller genre alike will not be disappointed by Serenity.


Bloglovin' is the best thing that's ever happened to me. It puts all my blogs in one place so I don't have to go hunting them down. On the other hand, it's a huge distraction, because it makes it so easy for me to read blog posts all day.
Now that I'm done with my capstone, I am browsing blogs, watching TV, reading, doing fun stuff, etc. What a way to relax.
It's gets really girly from here on out.
I've been really into style/diy/fashion/home decor blogs lately. Check out some of my faves!
1. I loooove A Beautiful Mess. Elsie never runs out of ideas, ans she blogs at least twice a day. She runs a vintage shop with her sister Emma and blogs about everyday life, outfits, crafts and a lot more.
2. Emma's blog, Food Coma, has a lot of yummy, original and borrowed recipes. She shows you how she makes the dishes and takes really pretty pictures of the food. She also writes outfit posts. Her writing style is hilarious, too.
3. Calivintage is a great blog for vintage fashion and street style. Erin's confident and unique; that's why I like her. She also posts a lot of behind-the-scenes stuff about designers and stores.
4. Erin also has a blog called Bikes + Babes. I love looking at the girls who love their bikes, just like me!
5. Rebecca from The Clothes Horse helps run Bikes + Babes. I love her daily outfit posts because her style is so cute and feminine. Plus, I like seeing the inspiration she posts.
Those are just a few of the many blogs I follow. I'm adding more all the time!

Arthur Bailey
49th Infantry (Polar Bear Division), then 10th Parachute Division
Arthur served with the renowned 49th Infantry Division (Polar Bears). The Polar Bears were a fierce combat group rumoured to 'take no prisoners'.
Whilst waiting at Southampton Common to embark for D-Day, Arthur lost his group of men and when he landed on Gold Beach in Normany on D-Day, it took him several days to be re-united with his Division! During this time, Arthur commandeered a German vehicle, which made it back to Blighty and is now occasionally displayed in museums.
Arthur took part in the liberation of Holland and Belgium (Operation Market Garden). He said:
"Arnhem will go down as one of the great battles of history, like Waterloo. The fighting was very fierce. We were outnumbered seven to one, 70,000 Germans against 10,000 of us, and we lost about 8,000 killed, wounded and captured. We need to remember Arnhem".
Arthur began as a Polar Bear and subsequently trained as a paratrooper and became part of the 10th Parachute Regiment.

Lockdown is a disaster for kids' mental health, and they need support – but we also cannot pathologize an entire generation

Self-harm, attempted suicides and eating disorders are all on the rise as a result of children being locked up at home. However, we must be careful not to confuse mental illness with the rational misery of our current situation.
"Children in mental health crisis used to be brought to A&E about twice a week. Since the summer it's been more like once or twice a day. Some as young as 10 have cut themselves, taken overdoses, or tried to asphyxiate themselves." These words, from a doctor's diary published by the BBC, make for difficult reading. A matron on a paediatric ward adds that self-harming "used to be the mind-set of older teenagers but we are seeing much younger children doing this now."
Evidence of the damage lockdown is doing to the mental health of children is growing by the day. Increasing numbers are presenting at hospital emergency departments having self-harmed or attempted suicide. NHS data shows a rise in the number of children being treated for eating disorders. Dr Agnes Ayton, chair of the eating disorders faculty at the Royal College of Psychiatrists, said: "This deadly illness is thriving because people have lost many of their support networks alongside access to community services as a result of Covid-19."
Meanwhile, the Children's Commissioner, Anne Longfield, has warned that mental health services in England do not have the capacity to cope with the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on children. And let's not forget that behind each statistic are devastated parents worried about how best to protect their children and fearful of the consequences of failure.
As a headmaster, I see children suffering mental health issues unlike anything before. This new shutdown of schools is disastrous
Lockdown, hard for everyone, is particularly tough on children. This pandemic year represents only a tiny fraction of my life, but it is a much larger chunk of my teenage daughter's. Concern is finally being expressed about the impact of closing schools, but activities, clubs and sports teams have been forced to stop too. Rites of passage, birthday parties, exams and school leaving rituals have all been cancelled.
Online classes are better than nothing but when every day involves sitting in front of a laptop, alone, for hours on end, it becomes a lonely and tedious experience. Children might have schoolwork to complete but they miss out on playground games, gossip, friends and fun. Teenagers who can log on to class from their bed may see little point in getting up. Whereas I have deadlines to meet, a neighbour to shop for and a house to keep clean, my daughter's days lack purpose. There are just so many hours to fill.
Sadly, rates of self-harm and mental health problems in young people were on the rise long before coronavirus. Various attempts have been made to explain this rise, with social media often to the fore. The barrage of perfect images, pressure to gain 'likes' and incessant demands to respond can certainly be hard to cope with. But high levels of social media usage may point to a different problem: what children are not doing with their time. Hours staring into a screen cannot be reclaimed for hanging out with friends, holding down a Saturday job, participating in sports teams or playing a musical instrument. Lockdown has exacerbated all of these pre-existing issues.
Mental health concerns in children need to be taken seriously. It is not good enough to expect those in distress to join lengthy waiting lists before they can receive professional support. But too often it seems that what we offer children is the worst of all worlds: we fail to help those in desperate need while, at the same time, creating problems in those who are simply dealing with the normal ups and downs of adolescence.
Many schools run workshops and exercises designed to open up discussion around mental health and teach coping mechanisms such as mindfulness or meditation. Such classes are well intentioned, but they can lead to even the very youngest children picking up a vocabulary of stress, depression and anxiety, as well as a propensity to diagnose these conditions in themselves. There is a risk that some children will catch adult preoccupations.
Also on rt.com 500,000 more kids face mental health issues as they're denied school, vaccines, friends and holidays. We're betraying a generation
It is good that children are encouraged to speak openly about mental health problems they may be experiencing. However, at the same time, it has become less socially acceptable for teenagers to admit to feeling lonely, miserable, bored or worried. Not only do these emotions sound less dramatic than depression, stress and anxiety, they can also appear to be personal failings. This becomes a particular problem during lockdown which is, by definition, a lonely and boring experience.
Right now, feeling miserable is a very normal emotional response to a highly unusual situation. It is important that children are not made to feel they are letting everyone down by struggling with lockdown, but neither should their emotions be pathologized as mental illness. Being miserable and fed up is not the same as suffering from depression.
Tragically, it seems that a small but increasing number of children are finding lockdown so difficult to cope with that it is leading them to self-harm or even to contemplate suicide. We owe them the very best clinical support that is available. But we must also keep in mind that, no matter how tough they are finding lockdown, most children are resilient and – just about – coping. They deserve to be allowed to be children again at the first possible opportunity. When that moment comes, adults need to leave them alone to play, laugh, and have fun.

Can Generation Z Close the Wage Gap?
Some 50 years ago, the Women's Liberation Movement brought the issue of equal pay and equal opportunity to the forefront of public awareness, and attempted to empower women in the workplace. Since then many strides have been made in advancing this issue. The US labor force is now 59% female and a greater number of entrepreneurs than ever are women. Also, thanks to more flex-time options and increased freelance and remote work opportunities, women can set schedules that are more compliant with their individual needs.
All that said, the issue of pay equality continues to plague the modern workplace even today, as evidenced by the fact that the gender wage gap is not expected to close until 2152. In order to bring greater awareness to this issue, the National Committee on Pay Equity created Equal Pay Day, which is a symbolic recognition of how far into the year women must work in order for their earnings to reach parity with what men earned the previous year.
In honor of the most recent Equal Pay Day, everyone from politicians to celebrities to business leaders weighed in on the state of the wage gap, organizations like the Pew Center and AAUW issued research, and a tool to help companies to identify whether there is a gap within their own organizations was even released. Hired's second annual Equal Pay Day report uncovered two issues that remain unresolved in our efforts to close the gender wage gap: bias in the hiring process and lower expectations on the part of women.
The research revealed that all too often, female candidates that are up for a job at a particular company are offered less than than men who are going out for that same role. In fact, this happened fully 63% of the time. And for reference, this trend is not limited to the traditional, corporate environment. In fact, this disturbing tendency is present in the forward-thinking technology industry. It would seem that a bias still exists, albeit unconsciously, toward female candidates.
Another possible cause of this issue — women simply ask for less. The research found that sixty-nine percent of the time, women set their preferred salaries lower than men who are applying to the same job as them and who, presumably, have similar skills and experience. The question is – why?
Salary data shows women simply ask for less; the question is why?
Plenty of possible hypotheses exist for this phenomenon: employers are more likely to react negatively to women who try to negotiate their salaries, men are more likely to be successful when asking for raises, and women are less likely to be promoted than men — a whopping 15% less likely according to a 2016 study from McKinsey and LeanIn.org. Any individual situation is likely a combination of factors, but the bottom line is that these issues compound over time and result in women undervaluing themselves and thus being paid less than their male counterparts over the course of their careers.
There is a bright spot in these findings in the form of Gen Z, young adults with birth years that range from the mid-1990's to the early 2000's. Adults born after 1995 have no concept of a world without digital technology, social media or the Internet. It would seem that as these individuals enter the labor force, they also hold a different attitude toward workplace equality and value.
Their viewpoints aren't steeped in traditional gender roles or expectations. They see the world from the screen of the iPhone, iPad and tablet. There is no segregation of gender from this vantage point, only the value of contribution.
They tend to be highly entrepreneurial, self-directed, more accepting of diversity and more active in seeking opportunities for advancement. It also seems that when it comes to pay, the expectations of the women of Gen Z are more in line with those of their male counterparts. When reviewing salary statistics for 2017, Hired found that female tech candidates with less than four years of experience asked for an average of 4% more than their male counterparts.
Even more promising? This year, the gap between the salaries that men and women ask for and receive didn't appear until candidates were six or more years into their careers, whereas the previous year, it appeared around the four year mark. While there is a possibility that entry-level women simply haven't been subjected to the issues mentioned earlier in this article, the fact that we see the emergence of the gap becoming delayed points to another, more promising possibility: that Gen Z may be the first generation to actually close the wage gap.
So, 50 years later, women's issues are receiving more time in the spotlight. In 2016, we had our first female presidential candidate elected by a major party. It's a time to be optimistic. It's time to close the gap, eliminate bias and raise our expectations. Here's to hoping Gen Z can be the ones to help us do it.
