Specyfika polskiego uchodźstwa cywilnego i wojskowego dla Afryki Północnej w okresie II wojny światowej
Author: Jacek Knopek
The migration of Poles in the period of 1939-1945 is pointed in the article. Just like all the dislocations of population fulfilled in the period of 1939-1945, the afflux of Poles to North Africa had a compulsory character. The emigration from the Polish lands was caused by the war and the warfare, and in the aftermath with it, the extermination of population. Article, in an analytical way, talks over the migration processes to the north ~ African land in a chronological order. Till the year 1939, the migrations of Poles to the North Africa were not in pro- gress on such a large scale as the one that took place during the II World War. In the XIX and the first half of the XX century, Poles were coming to the North Africa in groups of several dozens or few hundreds of people. Before the outbreak of the World War II, in the North African territory, were about 1000 persons of the eco- nomical emigration and about 1000 persons of the military emigration. During the war, about 1300 Polish civilian emigrants, arrived in the territory of Maghreb, and stayed there from several weeks to few years; among them were Poles and also Polish citizens of Jewish descent. Poles in Egypt were a numerically larger group. However, the centers created there were temporary, and the residence of Poles was short - lived. There were no centers of Polish civilian emigration in the north - east Africa, which survived in that territory during the whole period of the war. Thus, the residence of Poles at the Nile had a completely different character. In a wider degree, in the north Africa during the war, arrived Polish military emigrants. Including the soldiers of the Foreign Legion, in the French North Africa stayed temporary, or for a longer time, about 8100 Polish militaries, among who the most numerous groups were of Polis aviators and the air force technical staff, the soldiers of Polish September and the Polish Army in the West. Like civilian people, they stayed in the Maghreb countries from several weeks to dozens weeks or so, because they were to be evacuated to the Polish Armed Forces in the West.
Fenomenologia semantyki a problem istnienia powszechników

Author: Piotr Walecki
This work concentrates around important aspects of a metalinguistic issue that are a character of existing general notion, therefore elementary categories of abstract structure knowledge. There is put an accent on phenomenological approach that is formulated as a turning point in a scientific practice method. In the first part turns up a historical, far-reaching draft and general classification of the main ways that undertaken subject matter can be present. The second part is more detailed fundamental principles description of phenomenology on the background of its semantic thesis. The focus on this philosophic trend was dictated to a regard of contemporary phiIOSOphy oriented on process that seems to be the main scientińc stream in the XXI century. Here, basic questions relate to ontological and episte- mological problems of notions formulation in philosophy context.
Platon - ojciec totalitaryzmu?
Author: Piotr Ziarek
Pages: 89-100
In the article, the problem of extremely different interpretations of "Republic" by Plato, has been presented. The author attempts to answer a question: What influ- ences the fact that some people are negatively affected by a piece of art while others positively. This situation is caused by an ambiguity of Plato's language in his works. Scholars are under great impact of their differing woldviews and also their atti- tude towards empirical and nonempirical reality while estimating or perceiving a given utopia. The evaluation of human consciousness, mentality, changes of political systems and civilisational changes, scientific and technical progress have also influenced the attitude towards what could be and is not, and towards what is possible or impossible. The author states that difficulties that hinder unambiguous estimation of Plato lie in the following reasons: all Plato's works, including the most important: Republic" and "Laws", depicting a vision of ideal political system are closely con- nected with mythology, and in that situation it becomes highly difficult to separate the truth from a myth. Secondly, Plato freguently uses allegory or metaphors in his dialogues, as well as irony or jokes while describing serious issues. All those factors blur the clarity of understanding his ideas. The author formulates a statement, that a critic Karl R. Popper, too hastily named Plato the father of totalitarianism, as he was influenced by strong emotions created by historical events of the years 1917-1945. The fact that the author is irritated and appalled by the deeds of the XX century war criminals is fully understandable and reasonable, but the same attitude towards this ancient scholar and his political ideas seems to be inappropriate and erroneus.

Author: Tomasz Zacłona
The possibility of raising a company's market value with the help of public relations is becoming extremely attractive in the context of the present situation on the market. PR seen as the management of communication is able to select the right messages, tools and methods in order to stimulate the growth of a company's value most effectively in given conditions. The PR experts take care of the firms proper relations with the media; they organize conferences, inform about any changes, prepare materials for the press, design web pages and arrange interviews; thus upkeeping good relations With journalistsflhey also manage the editing of leaflets, brochures and periodicals aimed at facilitating the communication within the firm and outside. Furthermore, they work to win the support of opinion-setting circles and personalities thus involving them in the creation of the company's possitive image. 'Ihey also manage the system of visual identification by creating the stan- dards of Corporate Identity. Moreover, they take care of the employees" image and draft their speeches. Dealing with crisis situations is their task, too. The monitoring of media and their own conduct is their ńnal duty. Many factors point to PR's having a decisive influence on the market value of companies.
Udział Funduszy strukturalnych Unii Europejskiej w finansowaniu rozwoju regionalnego województwa małopolskiego
Author: Dorota Murzyn
Poland joined the European Union on May 1, 2004 and subsequently became eli- gible for support from the EU structural funds and Cohesion Fund. The primary objective of these funds is provision of assistance in reducing the development disparities between regions in order to strengthen the economic and social cohe- sion. The Integrated Regional Operational Programme (ZPORR) is one of seven Operational programmes to be used in implementing the 2004-2006 National Development Plan/ Community Support Framework. An allocation of 40839 mil- lion Euro in public expenditure is provided for the implementation of the ZPORR in the years 2004 -2006, out of which 2,9685 million Euro will be from the resources of the structural funds: European Regional Development Found and European Social Found. The programme is managed at the national level, but implemented at the level of the region. ZPORR is the most important programme document from the perspective of regional development policy implemented by the Regional Authority. 'The sum of 185 million Euro will be earmarked for the implementation of the ZPORR in Małopolska in the years 2004-2006, and the majority of this sum will be spent on projects relating to the construction and extension of the region's infrastructure (projects related to transport, environmental protection, culture and tourism, infrastructure of the information society). The number of projects in Małopolska so far alows us to think that the region will make the most of the funds earmarked for it. At the moment the main goal is to prepare the region to the next period 2007-2013, as from 2007 onwards, responsibility for preparing and implementing regional development programmes will be fully delegated to the voivodship self- government level.
Globalizacja w świetle krytyki i oczekiwań wobec ekonomii głównego nurtu
Author: Janina Szczepaniak
The paper shows that globalisation - apart from its name - is not at all a new pro- cess. 'Ihe thing that distinguishes it among other elements of economic develop- ment has been so far hidden behind processes of economic growth. In general, it has also deepened problems noticed earlier. Economic theory of globalisation has emerged from liberalism belonging to the major course of economy, i.e. orthodox economy. The whole achievement of this course of economy in the other half of the twentieth century has undergone a se- vere criticism. Earlier and present achievements have been criticised both by the representatives of the main stream as the economists of other streams. Neverthe- less it has not influenced significantly general appearance, contents and methods of new liberal economy. Apart from that - or rather should we say thanks to that it has remained in accordance with general development of science and somehow has responded to social expectations. One can say that it has accommodated within one side attitude to all kinds of issues of modern times. From this it follows that real solution of problems may be brought by taking into account the opposite attitude and
Stan sektora małych i średnich przedsiębiorstw w powiecie zamojskim
Author: Jarosław Klajn
Economic transformation In Poland has had a great impact on the development of small and medium size enterprises. The paper presents the diagnosis of small and medium size enterprises sector in Zamojski district by 3 lst of December, 2002. It discusses both advantages and limitations of development of such forms of economic activities. Small and medium size enterprises located within the area of the district discussed not only guarantee work places for the most of the employed, but also create new work places. The role of small and medium size enterprises as a source of new work places has both economic and social character. This sector of the national economy is the representative of enterprising activities because quite often small and medium size enterprises are the only form of any economic activity in the eastern region and can be the starting point for economic development in general.
Analiza przedsiębiorczości w Małopolsce na przykładzie powiatu nowosądeckiego - w świetle badań empirycznych
Author: Iwona Gawron
Initiative is one of the key features which should characterise contemporary man- agers who want to have and maintain success on the market. We cannot overesti- mate the meaning of initiative: it helps with the economic growth, boosts new techniques and brings more competition to the market. Initiative cannot be copied. Only the companies which are open to change and are able to use their strengths and supress weaknesses can beat their competitors. The presented article focuses on the role and importance of initiative in the changing business environment. It also analyses the structure and functioning of the companies in Małopolskie voyvodship with the great stress on Nowosądecki region. The analysist of this region's initiative showed that despite many factors which are against entrepreneurs, it is still open to new investments and the proof of this are the new firms which have recently been founded.
Analiza wpływu wybranych programów pomocowych Unii Europejskiej na proces rozwoju i wartości małych i średnich przedsiębiorstw
Author: Janusz Fudaliński
Attempts to evaluate the influence of the EU programmes on the development of small and medium-scale enterprises in Poland ecounter considerable method- ological difficulties. The difficulties arise from both the scarcity of adequate research tools and the character of the matter in question. lhe notion of the development of a firm as well as that of its value may be defined and understood in a wide variety of ways. Furthermore, the most serious problem lies in the fact that the results of the influence of assistance funds applied are hard to isolate from the effects of other factors affecting the enterprises, such as business cycles, macroeconomic policy of the state, etc. 'The support from the EU budget is only one of a large number of influences exerted in the sphere of the activity of the enterprises. What seems to be self-evident, though, is the fact that the allocation of funds for subsidizing the activity of small and medium enterprises will affect the value and development of the sector under consideration. The article highlights the significance of the assistance programmes in relation to factors contributing to the developmental potential of the firms and their value alike. The influence remains unquestionable and there are indications of its positive results. Nevertheless, only a more detailed research is capable of supplying an accu- rate estimate of the scale of this phenomenon. Likewise, it is able to assess interfer- ences that determine a correlation between individual factors which, in turn, form the developmental opportunities and value of the enterprises.

Tag: Psalms prophecies
Posted on March 3, 2019 January 8, 2020 by K.B. Vogelman
Unimaginably cruel mental images are wrought by descriptions of a Roman crucifixion. If an actual crucifixion victim were to describe the horrors of the experience, such as the sole surviving acquaintance of Josephus rescued from the cross, the victim might very well describe it this way:
"I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint. My heart has turned to wax; it has melted away within me. My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth; you lay me in the dust of death. Dogs have surrounded me; a band of evil men has encircled me, they have pierced my hands and my feet. I can count all my bones; people stare and gloat over me."[1]
Quoting not from any Roman historical account, the description was written centuries earlier before the Romans perfected this tortuous form of execution – a 1000 years earlier by King David in Psalms 22:14-17.
Prophecies are seldom as clear as Micah's Bethlehem prophecy predicting the Ruler of Israel would come from Bethlehem or Zechariah's prophecy foretelling the King of Israel would come riding on the foal of a donkey.[2] Some are delivered in perplexing, oracle-style prophecies often requiring knowledge of historical context, intricacies of analogies or symbolisms, and intermingling the present and future.[3]
Historical context of crucifixion comes from Cicero, Rome's most celebrated orator and lawyer. A victim of a Roman crucifixion was first scourged, "exposed to torture and nailed on that cross;" it was "the most miserable and the most painful punishment appropriate to slaves alone."
Psychological torture design of crucifixion was to choose a location that would display the exposed crucified victim "within sight of all passersby" with "the express purpose that the wretched man who was dying in agony and torture" would lastly see the circumstances surrounding his death.[4]
Modern medical expert analysis of crucifixion concluded the act of breathing added to the excruciating pain by pulling at the nail wounds driven through nerves in the wrists while pushing up full body weight on nailed feet, just to take a breath. Victims most likely died from shock, if not first by asphyxiation, when they could no longer push up to take a breath.[5]
Historical and medical analysis context of a crucifixion serve as the basis for determining if prophecies are consistent with these facts. Three parashahs or passages from the Old Testament, the Tenakh, are the focus of potential crucifixion prophecies – Psalms 22:1-24, Isaiah 52:13-53:12 and Zechariah 12:8-14.
Psalms 22 depicts a man who is enduring agony and humiliation. Physically, "bones out of joint," his "heart has turned to wax," extreme thirst saying his "tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth," and "they have pierced my hands and feet."
Psychological suffering describes "a man, scorned by men and despised by the people." "All who see me mock me; they hurl insults, shaking their heads;" surrounded by men who are like vicious animals.
Isaiah 52-53 is similarly graphic where "My Servant" bears the mental anguish of "suffering of his soul" being "despised and rejected by men" and considered "stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted." Bodily, "his appearance was so disfigured beyond that of any man and his form marred beyond human likeness." As an intercessor, "he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment" for which "he poured out his life unto death," ultimately "cut off from the land of the living."[6]
Zechariah 12:10 succinctly says, "They will look on me, the one they have pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for a firstborn son."[7]
Jewish authorities recognize portions of these parashahs as messianic prophecies. In a split between the Rabbi contributors of Babylonian Talmud Sukkah 52, one faction viewed Zechariah 12:10 as a Messiah prophecy:
"It is well according to him who explains that the cause is the slaying of Messiah the son of Joseph, since that well agrees with the Scriptural verse, And they shall look upon me because they have thrust him through, and they shall mourn for him as one mourneth for his only son…"
Rabbi Rashi, renowned Jewish authority, commented on Zechariah 12:10 siding with this interpretation in Sukkah 52. He wrote, "And our Sages expounded this in tractate Sukkah (52a) as referring to the Messiah, son of Joseph, who was slain."[8]
Jewish authorities are silent on the Isaiah 52-53 parashah depicting a crucifixion event; however, the Messiah prophecies throughout Isaiah's book are acknowledged in the Talmud and by Rabbi sages. Sanhedrin 98a alone makes 9 references to Isaiah's prophecies about the future Messiah.[9] Three prominent Rabbi sages independently identified 5 verses of the Isaiah 52-53 passage as all referring to the Messiah.
Rabbi Jose the Galilean was a Talmud contributor recognized for his authority on sacrifices and the Temple. Quoting Isaiah 53:5 and 53:6, he declared they referred to "King Messiah" who would be "wounded" for our transgressions.[10]
Rabbi Maimonides similarly identified the Messiah as the subject of Isaiah 52:15 and 53:2. The Rabbi expounded that, according to this Isaiah 52-53 parashah, the Messiah could be identified by his origins and his wonders.[11]
Rabbi Moshe Kohen ibn Crispin is renowned for his twelfth century authorship of "Sefer ha-Musar" meaning the Book of Instruction. Crispin boldly disagreed with the prevailing Jewish view that "My Servant" is a metaphor referring to the nation of Israel. Instead, Crispin said "My Servant" in Isaiah 52:13 refers to "King Messiah." [12]
Jesus of Nazareth himself referred to the prophecies describing the manner of death for the Messiah. Days before entering Jerusalem for the last time, Jesus forewarned his Disciples predicting in precise detail that he was about to endure what was foretold by the prophets:
LK 18:31-33 "Jesus took the Twelve aside and told them, "We are going up to Jerusalem, and everything that is written by the prophets about the Son of Man will be fulfilled. He will be turned over to the Gentiles. They will mock him, insult him, spit on him, flog him and kill him. On the third day he will rise again."[13]
History affirms that Jesus of Nazareth was subjected to the horrific physical and psychological designs of crucifixion described by Cicero and modern forensic science analysis, consistent with the Gospels.[14] Is crucifixion predicted in the Messiah prophecies of Psalms, Isaiah and Zechariah foretelling the manner of suffering and death by the Messiah?
Rabbi Crispin profoundly summed up the challenge for each person to arrive at his or her own conclusion about the prophecies saying:
"… if any one should arise claiming to be himself the Messiah, we may reflect, and look to see whether we can observe in him any resemblance to the traits described here: if there is any such resemblance, then we may believe that he is the Messiah our righteousness; but if not, we cannot do so.[15]

The Catch 22 of Psalms 22 – a Crucifixion Prophecy?
Posted on January 21, 2018 April 1, 2019 by K.B. Vogelman
Is Psalms 22 one of the prophecies depicting a crucifixion, even that of the Messiah?
Typically not straightforward nor easy to understand, a prophecy is often not fully or clearly understood until full realization after a future event has transpired or is clarified by other prophecies.[1]
Psalms 22 is retrospectively seen by Christians as a foreshadowing prophecy consistent with Isaiah's and Zechariah's prophecies of a Messiah who is pierced. Judaism does not consider the Psalms to be a book of prophecy like Isaiah or Zechariah. Jewish sage Rabbi Rashi; however, did twice see prophetic characteristics tied to David and the Messiah.
"Why have you forsaken me?" Rashi commented, "David recited this prayer for the future." Later in verse 27 commenting on the phrase "The humble shall eat," the Rabbi said this meant "at the time of our redemption in the days of our Messiah."[2]
Psalm 22 was written at a time when the Roman Empire did not yet exist meaning any specific prophecy about a "Roman-style crucifixion" would need to rely on prophetic details precise enough to avoid conjecture. Challenging, given Rome's well-honed crucifixion process designed to extend death as long as possible while inflicting maximum pain and humiliation.
Josephus described an occasion where he was traveling with the Roman military and came upon three Jewish acquaintances among many being crucified along the road to Thecoa, not far from Bethlehem.[3] Struck with compassion, he pleaded personally to Titus Caesar to have mercy on them. Titus commanded them to be take down from their crosses and treated by Roman physicians, but still only one survived.
"I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint. My heart has turned to wax; it has melted away within me. My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth; you lay me in the dust of death. Dogs have surrounded me; a band of evil men has encircled me, they have pierced my hands and my feet. I can count all my bones; people stare and gloat over me." (NIV)
Quoted not by Josephus nor was it quoted by any other Roman historians who documented Roman crucifixions. It was written by King David in Psalms 22:14-17 centuries before the Romans perfected this tortuous form of execution, yet the depiction matches in precise detail that of a Roman-style crucifixion.[4] Coincidence?
If the portrayal of suffering were to include the specific actions taken by those at the scene inflicting the suffering, would this additional detail decrease the likelihood of a coincidence if both sets of circumstances were to come true? Ramp it to a factor of five – three actions already described where the men are gathered around the victim, laid him on the ground and pierced his hands and feet, then two more very unusual actions:
PS 22:18 "They divide my clothes among themselves and throw dice for my garments." (NIV)
Now, if the Psalms 22 scenario added the actual words spoken by those at the scene, would the bar be raised to the highest degree of complexity thereby all but eliminating the possibility of coincidence?
PS 22:7-8 "But I am a worm and not a man, scorned by men and despised by the people. All who see me mock me; they hurl insults, shaking their heads: "He trusts in the LORD; let the LORD rescue him. Let him deliver him, since he delights in him."" (NIV)
Inflicted extreme suffering, specific and unusual actions, and spoken words in Psalms 22 are amazingly similar to the Gospel accounts of the crucifixion of Jesus of Nazareth. A montage of Gospel verses reflects the close similarities:
MT 27:36 "And sitting down, they kept watch over him there."
MK15:24 "And they crucified him. Dividing up his clothes, they cast lots to see what each would get."
LK 23:35-36 "The people stood watching, and the rulers even sneered at him. They said, "He saved others; let him save himself if he is the Christ of God, the Chosen One. The soldiers also came up and mocked him."
JN19:28 "…Jesus said, "I am thirsty."" (NIV)
One more quote, word-for-word, from the opening of Psalms 22 might tip the scales. Shortly before he died on the cross, Jesus cried out these words:
Ps 22:1 "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" (NIV)
MT 27:45-46, MK 15:33-34 "Now from the sixth hour until the ninth hour there was darkness over all the land. And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, 'Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?" that is, "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?'" (NIV)
By the time Jesus wailed out these words he had already endured severe flogging, exposed raw flesh, severe blood loss, acute dehydration, exposure to the weather, hanging by nails from the cross, labored and painful breathing and in a state of shock. In his excruciating misery and naked humiliation, he would have seen and heard the gawking and sneering crowd with their taunts and insults.
Near death, if Jesus was a fraud who still had the presence of mind in the face of his enemies to seize the moment by quoting from Psalms 22 to advance a false Messiah legacy, to do so would have been fully dependent on the prophetic nature of Psalms 22.
Catch 22.
If Psalms 22 is not a Messiah prophecy, then these words quoted by Jesus in his dying moments on the cross were no more than happenstance. But there is more to consider than just these words…
Could a mortal man plan ahead to perpetrate such a fraud without any foreknowledge of the lethal circumstances about to happen to him by forces outside of his control – Jews in the most unlikely collusion with their hated Roman enemies – covering 18 hours from his arrest, trial, flogging, and crucifixion up to the point of breathing his last on the cross?
Was it merely the probability of chance that the three sets of circumstances in Psalms 22 – multiple points of suffering, five separate actions taken by those present and the words spoken by the mockers as well as by Jesus – all matched the documented details in the four Gospel accounts of the crucifixion of Jesus of Nazareth?
Or is it easier to believe that the circumstances of Psalms 22 matching the four Gospel accounts were a Messiah prophecy fulfilled by the crucifixion of Jesus?

Rashi, one of Judaism's greatest interpreters of the Talmud, emerged at a time when the Dark Ages were transitioning from rule by barbarian tribes like the Huns, Goths and Franks into the feudal era when kings, queens, knights & lords ruled Europe.[1] In the year 1040, Shelomoh Yitzha was born in Troyes, France.[2]
As a Rabbi, Rashi was renowned for his wisdom and interpretation of the Talmud in simple terms. Jewish academies widely accepted and valued Rashi's commentaries mostly captured and documented by his students.[3]
Commentaries of Rashi include some Messiah prophecies which are also recognized by Christian authorities. One of the earliest is Jacob's blessing of Judah, his son:
Gen 49:8-10 "Judah, [as for] you, your brothers will acknowledge you. Your hand will be at the nape of your enemies, [and] your father's sons will prostrate themselves to you. A cub [and] a grown lion is Judah. From the prey, my son, you withdrew. He crouched, rested like a lion, and like a lion, who will rouse him? The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor the student of the law from between his feet, until Shiloh comes, and to him will be a gathering of peoples." – The Complete Jewish Bible with Rashi Commentary
Rashi's interpretation of Jacob's prophecy included three prophetic aspects. Judah like a lion foreshadowed David who would become like a lion when the people made him their king. The scepter represents the royal lineage of "David and thereafter." Shiloh refers specifically to the "King Messiah, to whom the kingdom belongs."[4] The Rabbi also commented on other well-known Messiah prophecies.
Moabite King Balak repeatedly pressed the Gentile prophet Balaam to place a curse on the approaching Hebrew nation as an alternative means to military confrontation. Balaam's response was a prophecy doing just the opposite:
Num 24:17 "I see him, but not now; I behold him, but not near; A star shall come forth from Jacob, A scepter shall rise from Israel, And shall crush through the forehead of Moab, And tear down all the sons of Sheth." NASB
Hebrew text translations vary between Christian and Jewish Bibles. "I see him, but not now" is translated as in the Jewish version as "I see it, but not now." Hebrew text does not contain the pronoun for "him" which is inferred by the remainder of the prophecy of a king, a male.[5] Rashi's commentary says the opening phrase refers to the "greatness of Jacob" at a future time.
Hebrew word shebet is translated in the Jewish version as "staff" whereas the same word is translated as "scepter" in Jacob's prophecy.[6] Consistently, the Rabbi's commentary likewise says shebet represents "a king who rules dominantly." While Balaam's prophecy has strong Messiah implications, Rashi does not explicitly say it such as he did in his commentary on Jacob's prophecy.
Micah 5:2 appears as verse 1 in the Jewish Bible, a prophecy making specific reference to Bethlehem Ephrathah, home town of King David, and a future ruler of Israel:
Mich 5:1 (or v.2) "And you, Bethlehem Ephrathah – you should have been the lowest of the clans of Judah-from you [he] shall emerge for Me, to be a ruler over Israel; and his origin is from of old, from days of yore." – The Complete Jewish Bible with Rashi Commentary Micah's prophecy is understood by Rashi to mean the Messiah would be born in Bethlehem Ephrathah in the royal lineage of King David which stands opposed to some critics, including Jewish, who challenge the interpretation.[7] His remarkable phrase-by-phrase breakdown:
"And you, Bethlehem Ephrathah": [Rashi]: "whence David emanated, as it is stated (I Sam. 17:58): "The son of your bondsman, Jesse the Bethlehemite." And Bethlehem is called Ephrath, as it is said (Gen. 48:7): "On the road to Ephrath, that is Bethlehem."
"you should have been the lowest of the clans of Judah": [Rashi]: You should have been the lowest of the clans of Judah because of the stigma of Ruth the Moabitess in you.
"from you shall emerge for Me": [Rashi]: the Messiah, son of David, and so Scripture says (Ps. 118:22): "The stone the builders had rejected became a cornerstone."
"and his origin is from of old": [Rashi]: "Before the sun his name is Yinnon" (Ps. 72:17).
The Rabbi expressed his distaste of Ruth, a Gentile, being in the prophetic lineage of the Messiah, facts unsavory to a Hebrew lineage.[8] He cites "the stigma of Ruth the Moabitess" as the reason Bethlehem is called "the lowest of the clans of Judah."
Another Gentile appears in the lineage of David and the Messiah. Rahab, the prostitute, was spared from death after she helped the two Hebrew spies escape the Jericho King's posse.[9] Rahab then married a Hebrew, their grandson being Boaz who married Ruth, the Moabite daughter-in-law of Naomi whose inheritance was redeemed by Ruth's marriage. Boaz and Ruth were the grandparents of Jesse, great grandparents of King David.
Leaving no doubt his interpretation is that of a messianic prophecy, Rashi explicitly said the future ruler of Israel would be "the Messiah, Son of David" citing Psalms 118:22 as another messianic prophecy. The Messiah's divine characteristic, "and his origin is from of old," is called Yinnon by Rashi, a Hebrew epithet meaning "be continued."[10]
Zechariah 12:10 is a prophecy foretelling the Messiah's manner of death, according to Rashi. Siding with the split view of Talmud contributors in Sukkah 52, he commented, "And our Sages expounded this in tractate Sukkah (52a) as referring to the Messiah, son of Joseph, who was slain."[11]
Christianity's relatively close agreement with Rashi on the Messiah prophecies of Jacob, Balaam, Micah and Zechariah parts company on another prophecy, Isaiah 7:14.[12] Rashi taught Isaiah's prophecy was not about a virgin birth, rather it referred to Manoah's wife, mother of Sampson, the Biblical strongman.[13]
As a Rabbi, Rashi obviously did not believe Jesus of Nazareth was the Messiah due in part to a particular disqualification – the fact that Jesus was killed. Specifically, according to JewishEncyclopedia.com citing Rashi, it is the circumstances of his death:
"The very form of his punishment would disprove those claims in Jewish eyes. No Messiah that Jews could recognize could suffer such a death; for "He that is hanged is accursed of God" (Deut. xxi. 23), 'an insult to God' (Targum, Rashi)."[14]
Crucifixion of Jesus as a historical fact is undisputed by Judaism. The birth of Jesus in Bethlehem in the royal lineage of the House of David are also undisputed facts by Judaism. The ultimate question between Christianity and Judaism remains…what are the odds Jesus was a fulfillment of the Messiah prophecies?

Fast and comprehensive for front-end decision making.
Why Use the HD Analyzer?
Have you ever wondered how top physicians achieve industry-leading results in their cataract, dry eye, and refractive outcomes? Fast, objective decision-making on the front-end of diagnostics leads to optimal surgical outcomes.
20/20 visual acuity does not guarantee vision quality. Only the HD Analyzer measures total optical quality, accounting for light scatter caused by pathologies like early cataracts and tear film instability. Wavefront aberrometers overestimate patient optical quality because they assume clear optics—ignoring scatter.
Differences in the Objective Scatter Index (OSI) for a patient can result in 20/20 vision that remains blurry. Even a flawlessly performed surgery can result in a 20/unhappy outcome if you don't screen for scatter from the lens and tear film ahead of time. The HD Analyzer is the only diagnostic tool that can pre-diagnose the subtle, forward light scatter that affects surgical outcomes for cataract and refractive patients.
The HD Analyzer is an essential screening tool for most patients.
Purkinje exam is used for the KAMRA® Inlay. It identifies the ocular landmark to guide precise inlay placement pre-op and confirms inlay location post-op. This helps achieved consistent visual outcomes.
The exam measures the patient's depth of focus. Using the point spread function from a light source, the HD analyzer determines the point of best focus for the patient and the range of diopters for which the patient can accommodate while maintaining their vision quality.
Light Condition exam varies the patient's pupil sizes for different OSI measurements.


So I have a few Digital apps and an account for each.
Are there any apps which will let you access all of the content from one interface?
Out of the box no.
The only way to get close is via something like kodi.
The issue with that is most of the apps are user created, and not official. They do tend to break though, and rely on scraping to work.
Assuming that AppleTV+ comes to our shores, it may be possible in spring to do this with an AppleTV and the TV app.
Thanks for that. Unfortunately I'll never buy an Apple product in my life though so I'll rule that one out.
Unfortunately I'll never buy an Apple product in my life though so I'll rule that one out.
I used to think that about Apple but when that blew up I tried the AppleTV4 and now I wouldn't use anything else. Netflix, BBC, Amazon, C4, TV1, it's just so easy and it works.
Apart from price being high, it's one of the most well supported standalone devices you can buy. And imo a much better experience than a chromecast.
I use iPhones for work and that's it. Everything else is Windows and Android. Yet AppleTV is rather elegant. I bought one for my parents, my flat uses it, I bought one for a friend. Aside from the typing aspect (the newer ones use voice) it's brilliant.
Roku is a great option.
chevrolux: Roku is a great option.
You can argue that on almost every media player. FireTv.
Not sure the shield if that has native nz apps.
LG TV then. One of the OLED models, that runs their 'webOS'.
...might cost a bit more than these devices though haha. Dam good option though.
chevrolux: LG TV then. One of the OLED models, that runs their 'webOS'.
Do LG do a "smart" Blu-ray player that contains web os? That could be a good option. I know Samsung does a smart Blu-ray that contain a lot of the apps their TVs do. Much cheaper and easier To replace than a panel.
With a Smart TV that does Freeview, the Freeview application puts all the free to air in one place.
You can search for a program and it search's all channels.
Strangely there's way less adds on it then going through the Apple TV.
I have no issues with Freeview, I have a Samsung Smart TV (one of the early Samsung Smart LED TVs), and it does Freeview fine.
I'm talking about accessing all of my digital content (paid and free) across all providers from one UI.
So Lightbox, Netflix, Amazon Prime as well as TVNZ On Demand and ThreeNow.
Plus BBC, SBS Ondemand, 7Plus, Plex, Youtube, stream Live TV from a TV server on the network using TV Mosaic, and can play games on it.
Some of those require a DNS service to access.
It'll never happen. The closest you'll get is one device.

FIFA rejects South Africa protest against Ghana in 2022 World Cup qualifier
Fifa's has dismissed the protest by South Africa that called for the replay for the 2022 World Cup qualifier against Ghana that the Bafana Bafana lost last month in Cape Coast.
The world governing body dealt South African the damaging blow on Friday when its disciplinary body ruled that the protest lodged is 'inadmissible' as it did not meet the basic requirements for filling protests.
This ruling by FIFA means that the Black Stars will have advanced to the playoff stage of Africa's 2022 Fifa World Cup qualifiers.
"The protest lodged by South Africa has been declared inadmissible by the Disciplinary Committee as it did not meet the requirements foreseen under art. 46 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code and art. 14 of the Regulations of the Preliminary Competition of the FIFA World Cup 2022," FIFA said in a statement on Friday.
"The decision is subject to appeal."
The ruling also did not mention anything about the Senegalese referee Maguatte Ndiaye which means the match official is free from any claims of dubious officiating during the match in Cape Coast.
The decision by FIFA means Ghana finished above South Africa in Group G on goals scored and progressed to Africa's play-offs next March.
Bafana Bafana needed a draw against the west Africans last month to reach the third and final round of African qualifying, but Ghana won 1-0 thanks to a first-half penalty.
The pivotal moment came when Black Stars midfielder Daniel Amartey went down when South African defender Rushine de Reuck fouled him in the box using both hands.
South Africa protested the decision, claiming the penalty was a ruse which led to the protest against the match official which has now been thrown out by FIFA.
Replays shows that the defender used both hands to prevent Amartey from hitting the ball into the net which prompted the decision of the referee which was expertly converted by Andre Ayew.
South Africa believe a precedent was set five years ago when Bafana Bafana were forced to replay a 2018 World Cup qualifier after a referee was found guilty of match manipulation which benefited them.
Bafana Bafana had originally beaten Senegal 2-1, but Fifa later concluded that Ghanaian referee Joseph Lamptey "clearly took two wrong decisions" to facilitate "a minimum number of goals to make certain bets successful".
The errors included the award of a penalty when Senegal's Kalidou Koulibaly was adjudged to have handled the ball, despite replays showing it had hit his knee.
Fifa took the unusual step of ordering the game to be replayed. South Africa lost 2-0 as Senegal qualified for the World Cup in Russia.

Trudeau in a bulletproof vest: CBC guest blames free speech, Rebel News and yellow vests for threats
Posted by Sheila Gunn Reid on October 15, 2019
This weekend at a campaign stop in Mississauga, Justin Trudeau took the "unprecedented" step of wearing a bulletproof vest in response to a security threat. And the mainstream media has already put the blame on you and me.
I'm not a security expert, but I do think it's bizarre that if the threats were so deadly that Trudeau needed to pull on a flak jacket why the rest of the crowd of over 400 Liberals were not evacuated.
So far, we haven't heard of any arrests and we don't have any more information about what was going on behind the scenes.
But one Toronto morning host named Supriya Dwivedi knows the source of the security threat: It's our fault!
WATCH to see Dwivedi's full, uncut statements condemning Rebel News and other Canadians on the CBC's Power & Politics.
Most of our reporters have been subjected to violence and silencing, and that's why we've launched StopDeplatforming.com in order to use every legal method available to make sure these petty threats don't prevent us from getting our work done.

Your comments section is pretty funked up .
None of your claims about this being a stunt have any merit. No sources at all, and please do not bring up the "Buffalo Chronicle" story or whatever that fake one was. If this were a real story The Rebel would be all over real news sites proclaiming it. But they aren't . This is a joke. Completely fake.

If there was a real threat, then Trudeau holds very little regard for the security of the people in the mob. It is the same disrespect for all Canadians and Canada.
His old man was the same, an elitist, anti-semite who held all Canadians in contempt!
I saw a picture of Jussie Trudeau the grouper wearing a yellow vest. Is that yellow the same shade as the stripe down his back?
Even Gadafi did not wear a bullet proof vest. Trudeau is a chicken sh??
dave sutton commented 2019-10-16 11:01:05 -0400
I hate to state the obvious but the vest only protects the chest while leaving the head exposed; which brings us to the next obvious fact. If Trudeau's security detail were truly concerned about his safety then why didn't they give him a ballistic helmet to wear? This does not inspire confidence in the RCMP.
Barb Morrison commented 2019-10-16 03:13:24 -0400
The Kevlar protective vest event was a theatrical staging contrived by Trudeau and the PMO to seek sympathy votes. It was nothing more and nothing less than the overactive ego of Trudeau demanding more attention with a "poor me" attitude.
The CBC is the Liberal propaganda outlet as demonstrated by their consistent use of pro-Liberal pro-Trudeau panelists, not one dissenting voice among them. They point their boney fingers and accuse everyone who disagrees with their totalitarian ideologies as racist, bigot, Islamaphobe, anti everything to do with gender and sexual preferences, unCanadian, Neanderthals etc……now they allege those who embrace truth, honesty and integrity are domestic terrorists! These hard core partisans haven't provided Canadians with unbiased honest reporting for years! Clean your own house CBC it's full of scavengers living off Canadian taxpayer dollars! As one of your employers…you're fired!
Common Sense commented 2019-10-16 00:47:50 -0400
Supriya Dwivedi, calling Trudeau a traitor is not a death threat, as Liz pointed out, and it would cause no-one to don a vest, go to an event with hundreds of supporters, and give them the impression they are in imminent danger being in the same room with the traitor. Why did they even allow him in the building putting that which they are supposed to protect in danger? Why didn't they empty the building first, bring in the dogs to clear it, then check every single person going in? Because they were all actors, no-one in security/military/police would ever do such a thing. Besides, in such close proximity with hundreds of people, you would have to wrap him in kevlar, and if it were an explosive of some kind, he would be done, along with pretty much everybody else in there. If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it's a DUCK!!!!
Liz Rosie commented 2019-10-16 00:10:56 -0400
Supriya Dwivedi, calling Trudeau a traitor is not a death threat, its accurate. If you actually believe what you are saying and not just repeating Gerald Butts projectile vomit, then you are no better. We're not stupid, we know who's lying.
Staged.
No one believes Justin Trudeau and no one believes anything that comes from the CBC. No credibility. They can't keep tricking people and spinning events and expect Canadians to continue swallowing their lies as truth. We know lies when we see them. We have had lots of experience thanks to the msm and the Liberals continual flow of codswallop.
How far will his stunts go? I don't think its safe for anyone to be physically anywhere near a Trudeau event anymore. Who knows what kind of false flag event they might be choreographing.
It was a performance plain and simple. They would have cleared the building immediately and brought in dogs. No one goes back in until the building has been cleared. Anyone and everyone going back in is searched. Notice from the videos no security other than a walmart greeter at the entrance. He did this simply for sympathy because he is in trouble. It was staged, it was an act by a drama teacher, a very poor one at that. They never ever would have let him in if there was a threat. The final beauty, if it was real, he put all those people, his supporters, men, women, children at extreme risk, and all he is wearing is a vest; mingling with them up close.

Rebel News. A decent news outlet for decent people.
Jan G commented 2019-10-15 21:35:22 -0400
If this CBC guest drank a little less caffeine, perhaps she could actually think clearly.
If they are accusing Rebel News for being responsible for this, then they had better present a criminal in handcuffs, otherwise, this is defamatory and libel.
" Defamation refers to harming another person's reputation by making a false written or oral statement about that person to a third party. Defamation law is not about protecting pride; it is about protecting reputation and offering restitution to people whose reputations have been wrongly damaged."
"Libel: defamation with a permanent record, such as an email, a radio or TV broadcast, a newspaper, a website posting, etc."
https://www.cjfe.org/defamation_libel_and_slander_what_are_my_rights_to_free_expression
(Note: though this excerpt is from Canadian Journalists For Free Expression, it is even more pertinent since it's CBC that is making these defamatory and libel accusations.)
Hate speech is anything said by a non liberal voter, a non ndp voter and a non green voter.
So who's left?
or rather, who's right?

As it applies to my God given, unalienable rights and liberties as a Canadian and as a human man…MOLON LABE!

The only threat for Junior is being exposed as the traitor that he is. The added security is to ensure that the public and real journalists are kept at bay!

Remember when Harper was mocked by the Liberal Party press organs for increasing security over a verified beheading attempt and for the actual attack on parliament.
Now, when Junior stages another fake dramatic play wasting limited security resources, they are all in favour of it.
I noted one comment from a Liberal apologist, John Ivison, that if the threat was not real then the security would not have come out in full battle dress…Junior is P/M, sadly, and can order his security increased.
Finally, every one of the other five leaders are guaranteed to have received similar threats.

Problem with restricting "hate speech" is … who gets to decide what is and what is not hate speech? You? The government?
The CBC and other leftists always cry "The Rebel uses Hate Speech!"
So, CBC and company, define HATE SPEECH precisely and then quote in context written or video proof from The Rebel that which matches your definition of hate speech.
Now, one more thing … prove in inescapable reasoning why your definition of "hate speech" is absolute. Who made you the authority?

Q: Timber '|resize' with Imagify plugin I am using Timber 1.19.1 with the image optimisation plugin Imagify.
Unfortunately, Imagify does not optimise images generated by the |resize filter in the twig, as the plugin only compresses the original images found in the Media library.
There is a similar issue described in this article on wordpress.org, with a suggested solution to change the output directory of the resized Timber images and add that directory to the 'Custom folders' section in the Imagify settings. However I wanted to know if this is possible, as I can't find any filters that would allow me to do this easily?
If there are any suggestions or possible ways to do this, I would really appreciate the help!
Thanks
