Muse – Gillian Zinser
By Katya on Apr 6, 2018 - 0 Comment / Gallery Updates, Interviews, Photoshoots
Gillian Zinser has been called actor, photographer, director, activist, and traveler. Although, a more accurate word to describe her is artist. She is motivated through feeling(s), of which she has plenty. When she's not wandering around the world, documenting her adventures (using film, of course), she splits her time between the city of Angels and the one that never sleeps. Oh, and you can add self-published to the list of words to describe her. She recently published a photography book titled Psychogenic Fugue. All print sales are donated to My Friend's Place, homeless youth shelter in Hollywood.
What was your first "professional" gig?
It was a guest star role working with Bobby Cannavale and Sarah Paulson on a show called "Cupid." I don't even think my character had a name, I was just called 'Beatnik Sexpot' on the callsheet.
I had to urban dictionary "sexpot," what a charming replacement for a character name. Moving on — we've established that you wear many hats: actor, photographer, director, etc. How do you do it all? And how do they all relate?
I think they're all just different forms of the same need to express and create in order to make sense of things. Different feelings, experiences and stories call for different mediums …. Sometimes I find it easier to take photos of moments I can't share with words and sometimes a static image can't possibly convey the same thing that a moving picture can. Other times, it takes stepping out of my skin for a moment and into a character's in order to share another experience.
And how did you get to a place where you are able to do all of these things you love so much?
I don't know, I think we're taught to pick one career and become the best at it but, I've always been so attracted to so many kinds of expressions that it never felt right to me to just try and stick to one thing. So I haven't. I feel like the artists' work is simply to help share and reflect the human experience and there's a million ways to do that so, why create boundaries?
You split your time between L.A. and New York, is the West Coast really the best coast? What do you love and hate about both cities?
I love that California makes me slow down. And that New York doesn't let me. What I don't dig about L.A. is that there's no seasonal change, which can slowly drive you crazy. But then again New York winters often get me daydreaming about that ocean, the mountains, road trips. So. Happy not to have to choose between the two.
You're a bit of a wanderer. Where does your love for travel stem from? What does it do for you and your creative process?
I travel to keep myself awake, to keep curious, to learn about people, cultures, to better understand the human condition, to take me out of my ego and into the bigger picture. All of which only makes me a better creative/human.
I think it's so important to not be afraid of letting go of the comfort, safety and stability in routine jobs and income—choosing the uncomfortable and unknown over the easy and expected. Not being afraid of being broke for a second. Or lost. Or having to start over again. To make it a priority to invest in experience, knowing that adventuring outside of your own little bubble can only make you better at whatever your work is.
We all need an outlet outside of our day to day to refuel, re-calibrate, inspire and keep us reaching. That's what travel is for me.
You're an advocate for film. For the non-photographers and filmmakers out there, what does film have that digital or smartphone cameras just don't?
I love film for its fallibility and that it begs you to be thoughtful. With digital, you can just shoot a million frames and count on one being decent. But film is a much more meditative, precious form of creating. I also love that it doesn't come with the instant gratification that we're so used to.
What was the first camera you ever owned or shot with? What do you use now?
The Yashica T5 has always been my favorite but I also love the Canon AE and Olympus Stylus Epic for photos and my Canon Super 8 and Panasonic VHS camera for filming.
Was there an actor, director or photographer that has especially influenced you?
Oh, so many. Francesca Woodman, Éric Rohmer, Andrea Arnold, Agnès Varda, Chris Marker, Xavier Dolan, Mike Mills, Miranda July, Joe Swanberg, Robert Altman, Jacob Holdt, (William) Eggleston, Yasujirō Ozu, Sebastião Salgado, to name a few.
And as for your work, do you have any particular subjects you especially enjoy shooting and why?
I love trying to capture loose, fragmented portraits of places I travel.
You recently self-published Psychogenic Fugue. Tell us what the creative process was like. What does the title mean to you?
So a Psychogenic Fugue is defined as: a rare psychiatric disorder characterized by temporary amnesia for personal identity. The state can last days, months or longer and usually involves unplanned travel or wandering, and is sometimes accompanied by the establishment of a new identity — which, kinda sums up my 20's (not in the literal sense of course). I feel like a lot of the photos I have taken up until now, were mostly I think, about escapism — running — not necessarily away from anything, just, the act of seeking, exploring, disappearing. The desperation and curiosity to let go of who you think you are and venturing into the unknown. So last year, I went through all the photos I had accumulated throughout the last decade and curated a little photo book of my favorites and that's why I chose that title for the series.
If you could have dinner with anyone, dead or alive, who would it be and why? What would be on the menu?
Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. because he's the best human to ever live. And I'd make handmade butternut squash ravioli. Or actually, maybe we'd just order in Thai. Less pressure.
What's the one thing about you few people know?
I … speak french?
What do you like most about yourself? What do you like most in others?
I'm insatiably curious and never bored … honest … write a killer love letter … throw a mean dinner party.
As for others, same shit probably: humor, honesty, passion, curiosity, loyalty, thoughtfulness.
What motivates you in work or in life?
Share a guilty pleasure.
I've been writing a bunch of projects and am in preproduction for my next film I'm shooting end of this month.
Nice! Name three items in your closet most special to you.
I'm really not attached to much stuff anymore. I keep a stuffed animal named Binny in my closet that I've had since I was born though — does that count? He got moved there after a few too many people pointed out that it was like, pretty strange to sleep with a stuffed animal at my age…
Yes, Binny totally counts. And what advice would you give your younger self?
Start making things right now, don't give a fuck and don't stop and DON'T PLUCK YOUR EYEBROWS.
What's something you do when no one is watching?
Have full-blown conversations with my dog.
What keeps you up at night?
The crazy state of the world. What I wanna make next. But mostly just my dog snoring which kinda sounds like a wheezing panda.

Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) Science & Technology; Minister of State (Independent Charge) Earth Sciences; MoS PMO, Personnel, Public Grievances, Pensions, Atomic Energy and Space, Dr Jitendra Singh today complimented Department of Personnel & Training (DoPT) for bringing about over 65 percent saving in departmental expenditure during April-June quarter of 2021 in comparison to the same quarter in 2020, which is well above 20% wasteful reduction stipulated by the Department of Expenditure, Ministry of Finance. Savings incurred under four Heads which are as follows: foreign travel (100%), domestic travel (60.20%), Administrative Expenses (85.84%) and Publication (79.16%).In a comprehensive review meeting of the Minister of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions, ahead of Parliament Session beginning on Monday, Dr Jitendra Singh lauded the role of DoPT for reducing wasteful expenditure. He said, this is quite significant as all ministries have been directed by the Ministry of Finance to reduce wasteful expenditure on travel, food and conferences by 20 percent.Similarly, in pursuance of directions given by Prime Minister to increase efficiency in decision making in Government, Dr Jitendra Singh reviewed the progress achieved in Ministry of Personnel, PG and Pensions. He emphasized that a timely review of channel of submission should be undertaken to ensure prompt disposal of office files by reducing the file journey to just four layers, adopting e-Office version 7.0, digitalization of central registration unit for circulation of electronic receipts and operationalization of desk officer system.In the fight against COVID, Dr Jitendra Singh said, DoPT being nodal department for personnel management in respect of Central Government, suitable instructions were issued from time to time to minimise spread during 1st and 2nd wave of Pandemic. He said, measures like exemption from biometric attendance, regulating attendance in offices, making use of AAROGYA SETU app mandatory on compatible mobile phones, extension of time limits for submission of APAR and training of frontline workers on iGoT played important role in tackling spread of COVID-19.Union Secretary Personnel, Shri Deepak Khandekar and other senior officers of the Ministry offered their inputs during the meeting.

Q: Rails many-to-many relations and nested forms: associate with object if it already exists I'm having an issue with several many-to-many relations in my Rails project. It can be illustrated with an example:
Say I have the models Person and PhoneNumber, joined by PersonPhoneNumber. The relation is many-to-many because people can have more than one phone number, and more than one person can be reached at the same phone number (in a case such as a help desk).
class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :person_phone_numbers
  has_many :phone_numbers, :through => :person_phone_numbers
end

class PhoneNumber < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :person_phone_numbers
  has_many :people, :through => :person_phone_numbers
  validates :number, :uniqueness => true
end

class PersonPhoneNumber < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :person
  belongs_to :phone_number
end

I have a person form that lets me create/update people's contact information. I use it to assign the number 555-555-1212 to Bob. If a PhoneNumber object with that number doesn't exist, I want it to be created (as in the standard accepts_nested_attributes_for behavior). But if it does exist, I want to just create a PersonPhoneNumber object to associate Bob with that PhoneNumber.
How can I accomplish this most elegantly? I tried putting a before_validation hook in PersonPhoneNumber to look for a matching PhoneNumber and set phone_number_id, but this caused really bizarre behavior (including making my Rails server crash with the message Illegal instruction: 4).

A: You can use exists? method to check for existence first, like this:
@person.phone_numbers.build(number: "555-555-1212") unless @person.phone_numbers.exists(number: "555-555-1212")

Or you can do something like this:
PhoneNumber.find_or_create(person_id: @person.id, number: "555-555-1212")

A: Rachel the Rails documentation says this:
A has_and_belongs_to_many association creates a direct many-to-many connection with another model, with no intervening model.
What is the difference?

How Foreign Policy Became a Top Issue in the Presidential Campaign
© STRINGER Iraq / Reuters
By Patrick Smith
Our 2016 presidential campaigns have acquired a truly novel feature: Suddenly, foreign policy is a front-burner issue among American voters. This hasn't been so for at least a couple of generations.
Is this a passing phenomenon? Or are we watching the front end of a secular shift in American politics?
One reason for the new trend is evident on page one of any given day's newspaper. The terror attacks in Paris on November 13 put the world on notice that ISIS's savagery knows no borders. The shootings in San Bernardino, California—the worst terror incident in the U.S. since September 11, 2001—are just three weeks behind us.
Related: How 'Paris' Changed the 2016 Election and Put ISIS in Voters' Crosshairs
Rightly or wrongly but altogether truly, Americans have tipped into a swoon of insecurity, and they want to hear what presidential candidates plan to do about it.
Tom Bevan at Real Clear Politics put the point as well as anyone the other day: "The dramatic infusion of terrorism and national security into the contest in recent weeks has transformed the race for president."
Bevan calls it "the ISIS effect" and finds it most evident on the Republican side. Ben Carson appears to be fading mostly because he's weak on foreign policy questions, according to the polls. Chris Christie claims to have national security expertise as a former prosecutor and in his governorship of New Jersey.
Donald Trump, meantime, wants to "bomb the hell out of ISIS," while Ted Cruz proposes to "carpet bomb until the sand glows." Both are setting the tone as they watch their numbers rise in the polls.
Related: Major Cyber Security Legislation Tucked Into U.S. Spending Bill
But the phenomenon's just as evident among the Democrats.
In a CNN poll taken after last week's Democratic debate, Bernie Sanders posted an overall gain against Hillary Clinton: His support rose from 30 percent of Democratic voters to 34 percent, while Clinton's dropped from 58 percent to 50 percent.
But on foreign policy questions, Clinton shellacs Sanders decisively in the CNN findings: She holds a 72 percent to 18 percent lead. Asked who can handle ISIS more capably, voters came in 63 percent to 18 percent for Clinton.
Bevan's right about the ISIS effect. But what interests me is that Americans are finally waking up to how small the world is.
Point 1 of 2: We can no longer think about, say, Middle East policy or the Pentagon budget or trade rules as if these are separate from what we want to spend on repairing America's shamefully decayed roads, bridges, and schools. They aren't separate now—if they ever were.
Related: With an Eye on ISIS, Congress Moves to Tighten U.S. Travel Rules
Point 2: Americans, blessed and burdened by their huge continent and an ocean on either side, urgently need to grasp how they come across to others and how our foreign policies often echo in important ways.
As an example, a distinguished Asia hand named Philip Bowring wrote a properly irate commentary in The Globalist in response to Trump's recent proposal to ban all Muslims from entering the U.S. "until we figure out what's going on."
"There is a very simple issue here," Bowring writes. "The very suggestion that Muslims should be barred from entering the United States can only cause Muslims worldwide to ask themselves: Why should we buy goods and services from a nation which so despises us? Trump's remarks will be extremely damaging to vital economic and strategic alliances at a time when the United States needs friends to face challenges to its influence."
OK, Trump's not president and his pronouncements aren't policy. But his indifference to how others may hear his proposals is all too prevalent among those we elect and those our elected leaders assign to the policy-making process.

America has had a foreign policy for about 125 years. By tradition, our conduct abroad has been the purview of "the power elite," to borrow C. Wright Mills' famous phrase—silk-stocking Ivy Leaguers, usually from the East, who are more or less sequestered from public opinion.
There have been exceptional periods. By the presidential elections of 1968 and 1972, the Vietnam War weighed heavily on voters' minds and all candidates had to articulate a clear policy on it.
We don't seem to be living through another such exception, the old mode due to return when the threat of terror recedes. If I read our moment correctly, the nation's conduct abroad is likely to assume greater significance as a political issue from here on out.
Why? In the simplest terms, the globalizing process is doing its work. I can think of few electorates other than America's that have customarily been as blissfully indifferent to foreign policy questions. For certain passages in history, this may have been right, but it isn't any longer.
After "why?" comes "how?" It's fine that presidential aspirants now talk of foreign affairs on televised debates. But foreign questions need to be thoroughly woven into the national conversation if policy is to reflect peoples' aspirations accurately.
Related: Trump's Putin Crush Has Grown Into a Long Distance Bromance
I see two ways forward from here.
President Obama suggested one alternative when he set the rules for negotiation of the Trans-Pacific Partnership: Nobody, not even Congress, was to know what was going into the pact until it was done.
One couldn't approve less. The Obama administration violated the spirit of the constitution if not, indeed, its letter. The late Pat Moynihan warned of this in Secrecy: The American Experience, his 1998 history of the phenomenon, and it remains regrettably relevant. Choose this path and Americans are in for a century of internecine conflict and policies that have nothing to do with democratic process.
Last March, the German Foreign Ministry published Review 2014, the brainchild of Frank-Walter Steinmeier who holds the foreign portfolio in Chancellor Merkel's coalition cabinet. The document outlines an alternative to ever-greater secrecy in the formation of foreign policy.
Steinmeier's solution was to develop institutions and procedures through which the policy process is exposed to democratic debate. He also insisted that the instruments of policy be vastly expanded beyond the mahogany table and military ordnance to include economists, urban planners, sociologists, educationists, and a wide range of others whom foreign ministries rarely, if ever, consult.
This may not prove the way forward, but it should. Slogans and posturing among presidential hopefuls don't come to much, but—best outcome—they may open a new door for all of us into the foreign policy sphere.

Kate Upton and Justin Verlander Missed One of Their Wedding Events
They attended the celebration via FaceTime.

The first week of this month was a crazy one for Kate Upton and Justin Verlander. Within the span of days, Verlander's team won the World Series (for the first time ever!) and the couple tied the knot. Many were left wondering how the pair juggled the back-to-back events, not to mention why they scheduled their nuptials so close to the end of baseball season. To gain some insight, Jimmy Fallon just interviewed the newlyweds on The Tonight Show.
Earlier this year, Verlander was traded by the Detroit Tigers to the Houston Astros. "We planned the wedding before, obviously, he was traded," Upton shared. Little did they know, the athlete's new team would be headed to the baseball championship. Even still, only one circumstance would really mess with their nuptials.
WATCH THIS HOUSTON ASTROS PLAYER PROPOSE AFTER THE WORLD SERIES
"When we're planning this thing, we're talking like, 'You know, best case scenario, we go to the World Series,'" Verlander added. "'There's really, literally, only one thing that could throw a huge wrench in all of our plans. It's not the World Series, it's going to game seven of the World Series.'" Lo and behold, that's exactly what happened.
Luckily, the surprise outcome didn't totally change their schedule. They did miss a pre-wedding celebration, however. "Everybody's in Italy. Everybody's at the venue. We had an event that night, and everyone's texting us like, 'Your wedding's so pretty, wish you were here,'" Upton recalled. "We got taken around our wedding via FaceTime," Verlander shared, laughing. In the end, though, it all worked out-Houston won the game of a lifetime, and the couple still got married on schedule.

Скі́лла, Скилла () — персонаж давньогрецької міфології, дочка царя Мегар Ніс і Аброти, сестра Іфіної та Евріноми.

Ніс мав єдине пурпурове (або ж фіолетове) пасмо волосся (за іншою версією — один єдиний волос), яке нібито робило його непереможним. Про цей дивовижний секрет знали лише його найближчі родичі.

Коли Мінос, цар Криту, вдерся до царства Ніса, Скілла побачила його з стіни міста, закохалася в нього і вирішила допомогти. Вночі вона підкралася до поснулого батька, зрізала з його голови пурпуровий волос і тим самим позбавила магічного захисту. Збергігся і прозаїчніший варіант легенди, в якому йдеться не про безтямне кохання, а про банальний підкуп — критяни нібито пообіцяли доньці Ніса золото в обмін на зраду. У битві Мінос переміг, а Ніса було вбито і голову відтято.

Натомість Скіллу чекала не винагорода, а покарання. Критський цар нібито прив'язав дівчину до свого корабля і тягав по морю доти, доки вона не збожеволіла. Зрештою тіло дівчини хвилі викинули на берег Арголіди біля мису, якій назвали Скіллайоном. Інша версія міфу стверджує, що боги розчулилися і перетворили зрадливу царівну на морське створіння, за Вергілієм — на чудовисько, що топило кораблі в протоці між Сицилією та Італією.

За ще однією версією Скілла, засліплена коханням, плавала біля корабля Міноса. Вона майже досягла його, але морський орел, в якого перетворився її батько по смерті, потопив її. Скілла перетворилася на морського птаха (кіріду), якого невтомно вічно переслідує її батько у личині морського орла (haliaeetus).

Скілла — героїня однойменної п'єси невідомого автора. Також є персонажем героїчно-комічної поеми «Викрадення локона» англійського поета Александра Поупа.

Hiring more tenure-track faculty would improve quality of education
By Hannah Thacker Apr 11, 2019 1:37 AM
Adjunct professors can give students insight into an industry because they are working professionals in a field. They bring relevant knowledge to the classroom that keeps students up-to-date, but when too many classes are taught by part-time professors, it could do more harm to students than good.
The School of Media and Public Affairs has 45 part-time professors compared to 28 full-time professors. Some adjuncts are working professionals in places like The New York Times, the Department of Veteran Affairs and the Center for American Progress. Adjunct professors' experience in a professional workplace could benefit students looking to secure a job, but adjunct professors have limited time outside class to ensure their students succeed.
Adjunct professors often do not have the same amount of time to fully support students as full-time professors. Full-time faculty can dedicate both their prior work experience and time to their jobs, allowing them to build closer relationships with students. But adjuncts do not have the same amount of time to dedicate to students because they are also working a job at another organization. Students taught by adjunct professors are at a disadvantage because they could have fewer opportunities to ask for feedback on assignments or exams.
Adjunct professors also receive less frequent evaluations by officials. Tenured professors are required to complete an annual report on their teaching. But adjunct professors are evaluated by the University once every two academic years, with a more comprehensive evaluation every three years for some adjuncts, making it difficult for officials to adequately evaluate whether adjunct professors are offering students a quality education.
Full-time professors also have free access to professional development tools, like seminars and research workshops, which aren't readily available to part-time professors. For instance, full-time faculty can freely use the National Center for Faculty Development and Diversity to request expert webinars or peer mentoring. Adjunct professors have access to the same programs but are required to pay for the tools which cost more than the $700 that they can apply to be exempted from, which could deter part-time faculty from pulling money out of pocket for tools that could help them in the classroom.
When a school like SMPA hires more adjunct than full-time professors, it is tossing an opportunity for students to build close relationships with their professor. While part-time professors can bring up-to-date knowledge on an industry into a classroom, students may not be able to access them as frequently as full-time professors, causing the quality of their education to dwindle. SMPA needs to hire more full-time professors to ensure students are receiving the best education before they enter the workforce.

Shalom Aleichem: To Sing or Not to Sing?
This week's parasha, Vayak'hel, begins with God's command for Israel to observe the Sabbath. One of the most famous symbols and songs of Shabbat is undoubtedly Shalom Aleichem, traditionally sung before the evening Kiddush. The lyrics of Shalom Aleichem welcome the Sabbath angels into our homes, and for many, serve to set the atmosphere of Shabbat itself. Yet, some of our wise rabbis in the past have cautioned against singing this song! Where did Shalom Aleichem come from, and who composed it? When did Jews start singing this song, and why?
A Mystery Song
Much of the beloved Kabbalat Shabbat service is of very recent origin. For example, Lecha Dodi, through which we welcome in the Sabbath, was composed by Rabbi Shlomo HaLevi Alkabetz (c. 1500-1576). In fact, the eight verses of Lecha Dodi form an acrostic, the initials spelling his name. Born in Greece, Rabbi Alkabetz later moved to Tzfat, the capital of Jewish mysticism. He studied with Rabbi Yosef Karo (c. 1488-1575), famed composer of the Shulchan Arukh, and was the brother-in-law of the Ramak (Rabbi Moshe Cordovero, 1522-1570), who led the Tzfat Kabbalists before the arrival of the Arizal (Rabbi Itzchak Luria, 1534-1572). Many practices and customs of Judaism as we know them today originated in this incredible circle of Jewish mystics in Tzfat. One of these is the Kabbalat Shabbat prayer service.
Although Rabbi Alkabetz certainly wrote Lecha Dodi, there is little evidence that the wider Kabbalistic circle of Tzfat recited it in his own day. Contrary to popular belief, the Arizal did not sing this song. We know the Arizal's teachings and practices from the writings of his students, namely his primary disciple, Rabbi Chaim Vital (1542-1620). In Pri Etz Chaim, Rabbi Vital makes it abundantly clear, and repeats multiple times, exactly how the Arizal would perform Kabbalat Shabbat (see, for example, Sha'ar Shabbat, ch. 6):
The Arizal would go out into the fields, and recite Psalm 20 (with the most important verse there being the tenth, which starts Hashem l'mabul yashav, the initials spelling a Name of God, יל״י). He would then say Bo'i Kalah, "come my Bride" three times (based on a teaching in the Talmud, Shabbat 119a). Following this, he would recite Psalm 92 (Mizmor shir l'yom haShabbat), which also contains hidden Names of God. That would be it for Kabbalat Shabbat. Rabbi Vital explains what happens next:
And when you come home from the synagogue after praying Arvit, stand at your place at the meal table, and say "This is the meal of the Holy Apple Orchard"… and after this, encircle the table around the right, silently. Then, take in your hands two bundles of hadas [myrtle branches], and join them together, and say the blessing [besamim] on them, and smell them. And afterwards, encircle the table a second time with the branches in hand, silently. Then say "Zachor v'shamor b'dibbur echad ne'emru". Then say Kiddush.
After eating the meal, recite some passages from the tractate Shabbat, then birkat hamazon, then say again "Zachor v'shamor b'dibbur echad ne'emru". Then say the blessing on the hadas a second time. In the morning, for the second Shabbat meal, do the same as you did the previous night [during the first meal], and do the same for the third meal [seudah shlishit].
'Sabbath Queen' by Abigail Sarah Bagraim
Thus, while we find some words that remind us of Lecha Dodi, such as "bo'i kalah" and "zachor v'shamor b'dibbur echad" (rearranged by Alkabetz in Lecha Dodi so that "shamor" comes first, to spell his name "Shlomo"), there is no mention of an entire Lecha Dodi. Nor is there any mention of singing Shalom Aleichem (or Eshet Chayil for that matter).
The Arizal did teach that one should say the words "shalom aleichem" three times at the end of Birkat Levanah, the blessing on a new moon recited once a month (Sha'ar Rosh Chodesh Chanukah v'Purim, ch. 3). This is still done today. The Arizal explained that saying shalom aleichem three times serves to remove any kitrug, spiritual "prosecution". Based on this, some believe that whoever composed the song Shalom Aleichem incorporated this teaching of the Arizal. This is probably why some (especially Sephardis) have the custom to sing only the first three stanzas of Shalom Aleichem, thus saying the words "shalom aleichem" three times. Alternatively, this may be why many others (especially Ashkenazis) have the custom to recite each stanza of Shalom Aleichem three times.
The Origin of Shalom Aleichem
So where and when did Shalom Aleichem first appear? It seems the earliest source is Seder Tikkunei Shabbat, a work first published in Prague in 1641. I found a 1650 Krakow edition, and its Kabbalat Shabbat service and meal table ritual is nearly identical to what is generally practiced today. There are the six Psalms before Lecha Dodi, then Lecha Dodi itself, followed by two more Psalms. Then there is Shalom Aleichem, with all four stanzas—each to be read three times—followed by a prayer called Ribbon Kol HaOlamim, and then Eshet Chayil.
Cover of Tikkunei Shabbat
The cover page of the text says it is based on the teachings of the Arizal. It isn't clear who exactly put the book together, though it appears to mention a "Rabbi Isaiah Nasi". That may be Rabbi Isaiah Horowitz (Shelah HaKadosh, 1555-1630), a renowned Kabbalist who was born in Prague and lived for a time in Krakow. He got hold of the teachings of the Arizal, and towards the end of his life travelled to Tzfat in hopes of learning directly from the Arizal's disciples. Considering that Seder Tikkunei Shabbat was first published twenty years after the Shelah left Europe, and eleven years after he died, it may have been put together by someone else, based on his teachings, which were in turn based on the Arizal.
Still, we do not know who it was that composed Shalom Aleichem. Whatever the case, within a century it had become popular enough that there were those who opposed singing it. One of these opponents was Rabbi Yakov Emden (1697-1776). He published his own siddur, where Shalom Aleichem is missing. He pointed out several issues with the song, including the absurd request for angels (and not God Himself) to bless us (although earlier Jewish works don't necessarily have a problem with this), and the strange wording of the song, especially the word "mimelekh". Amazingly, modern versions of Rabbi Emden's Beit Yakov siddur do include Shalom Aleichem! The earliest Beit Yakov siddur I could find was from 1881, which has Shalom Aleichem in full, though without that problematic word mimelekh.
Shalom Aleichem, with commentary, in an 1881 Beit Yakov siddur
The commentary in this version of Beit Yakov explains that the custom of singing Shalom Aleichem is based on the Talmudic statement (Shabbat 119b) that when one comes home from the synagogue on Friday evening he is followed by two angels:
Rav Chisda said in the name of Mar Ukva: "One who prays on Shabbat evening and recites Vaykhulu, the two ministering angels who accompany the person at all times place their hands on his head and say to him: 'And your iniquity has passed, and your sin has been atoned.'" [Isaiah 6:7] It was taught [in a Baraita]: Rabbi Yose bar Yehuda says: "Two ministering angels accompany a person on Shabbat evening from the synagogue to his home, one good angel and one bad angel. And when he reaches his home and finds a candle burning and a table set and his bed made, the good angel says: 'May it be Your will that it shall be like this for another Shabbat.' And the bad angel answers against his will: 'Amen.' And if the person's home is not prepared for Shabbat in that manner, the bad angel says: 'May it be Your will that it shall be so for another Shabbat,' and the good angel answers against his will: 'Amen.'"
It is these angels that Shalom Aleichem is apparently referring to. The angels are welcomed into the home, asked to give us their blessing, and to head back out. We see above that one of the angels is a kategor, a "prosecutor". As we learned from the Arizal, saying shalom aleichem three times eliminates kitrug, "prosecution", thus neutralizing that "bad" angel.
As for the argument that the song is requesting blessings from angels, I believe the second argument regarding the strange wording of mimelekh actually serves to neutralize the first argument. This line is meant to remind the singer and the audience that, of course, we are really just request a blessing from God Himself—through His messenger angels (something that happens many times in the Torah)—hence the words "From the King of Kings, the Holy One, blessed be He" (מִמֶּלֶךְ מַלְכֵי הַמְּלָכִים הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא). We are welcoming the angels that are coming our way mimelekh, "from the King", and who are blessing us mimelekh, "from the King".
To summarize, Shalom Aleichem probably did not emerge among the early Tzfat Kabbalists, nor was it recited by the Arizal as some believe. It had only become widely popular by the middle of the 18th century. The identity of the author remains unknown.
So, should we recite Shalom Aleichem, or not? For those who have reservations (like Rabbi Emden, and apparently also the Vilna Gaon) and feel strongly that it should be skipped (or wish to mirror the early Tzfat Kabbalists as closely as possible), they have on whom to rely. However, it is difficult to avoid such a deeply-rooted and widely-accepted custom. Ultimately, the song is based on a Talmudic passage, speaks only of positive things, and affirms God is the "King of Kings". It is a mystical, albeit mysterious song, and a beautiful, peaceful way to start the Sabbath festivities.

Secrets of the Menorah Psalm and the Jewish Holidays
This week's Torah portion is Emor. It begins with a set of priestly laws before delving into a long exposition about the Jewish holidays. The Torah lists a total of seven holidays, starting with Shabbat, then Pesach, Shavuot, Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Sukkot, and Shemini Atzeret. Other holidays like Chanukah and Purim were instituted by the Sages, based on later historical events and references in the Tanakh.
Etz Chaim, "Tree of Life", showing the upper sefirot (Keter/Da'at, Chokhmah, and Binah, known as the Mochin), and the seven lower sefirot that follow.
The Torah's arrangement of holidays, and their meanings, immediately call to mind the seven lower mystical sefirot, or middot. Pesach is all about God's salvation and the liberation of the Jewish people, tying into the first sefirah, Chessed, or "kindness". This sefirah is associated with water, and the Pesach narrative both begins and ends with the theme of water: the Israelite newborns in the Nile, and the Egyptian soldiers in the Red Sea, with the Israelites themselves passing through the raging waters unharmed.
Six months later, opposite Pesach, is the holiday of Rosh Hashanah. While the former marks the start of spring, the latter ushers in the time of autumn. Whereas Pesach is about freedom and kindness, Rosh Hashanah is about judgement and repentance. Not surprisingly, Rosh Hashanah corresponds to the sefirah opposite Chessed, called Gevurah, or "restraint", and more commonly referred to as Din, "judgement". This sefirah is associated with fire, like the purifying flames of God's crucible evoked during this time.
The third sefirah is Tiferet, "beauty" or balance, and is commonly referred to as Emet, "truth". This corresponds to the holiday of Shavuot, which commemorates the revelation of truth and the giving of the Torah at Sinai. The Talmud (Shabbat 88a) famously states that God gave a three-part Torah to a three-part people (Israel, Levi, Kohen), through the third (Moses, a third-born child), on the third day (meaning either on a Tuesday, or after the required three days of purification) of the third month (Sivan). A mystical reading of the Talmud might add: corresponding to the third sefirah (Tiferet). Tiferet is associated with wind, or spirit (the Hebrew terms for "wind" and "spirit" are the same), referring to the divine spirit that rested upon the entire nation at Sinai.
The fourth and fifth sefirot, Netzach ("Victory" or persistence) and Hod ("Splendour" or gratitude), are always discussed together. The Kabbalists use these energies as symbols representing twin pairs such as a pair of legs, kidneys, or even testes and ovaries. They represent the twin forces of light and electricity, highly interrelated from a scientific perspective, and both traveling at the same incredible speed (300,000 km/s). When it comes to the holidays, Netzach and Hod are the two interrelated holidays of Sukkot and Shemini Atzeret.
Then comes Yesod, "foundation", referring to righteousness and in particular, sexual purity. This is undoubtedly Yom Kippur, the day of atonement and purification. Lastly, the seventh sefirah, Malkhut or "kingdom", is the holiday that we have every seventh day. Shabbat is referred to as the Sabbath "Queen"—fitting for a sefirah representing kingdom. Malkhut symbolizes fulfilment and completion, and as we read every Friday night, Shabbat is the day that God completed His creation, and in which we, like God, find fulfilment.
The Menorah Psalm
A replica of the Temple Menorah, made by the Temple Institute
Right after the holiday passage, the parasha records God's instructions for lighting the Temple Menorah. The Menorah had seven branches, once again corresponding to the seven lower sefirot. Elsewhere, the Torah tells us in detail the design of the Menorah, and we see that it was composed of 22 cups shaped like almond flowers, with 11 knobs for buds and 9 flower blossom ornaments. Together with the seven lamps, that makes a total of 49 components.
The 49 components of the seven branches of the Menorah correspond to the 49 words in the seven verses of Psalm 67 (not counting the introductory verse common to most psalms). For this reason, Psalm 67 is often written in the form of a menorah:
Meanwhile, each of the seven sefirot is itself further composed of seven inner sefirot, making a total of 49 parts. These correspond to the 49-day counting of the Omer, with each of the seven weeks representing a sefirah, and each of the seven days of each week representing one sefirah within a sefirah. Because of this, it is customary to read Psalm 67 after reciting the counting of the Omer each night.
This psalm in particular is said to have immense spiritual power. Rabbi Chaim Yosef David Azulai (1724-1806), better known as the Chida, wrote in his book Midbar Kedumot that God revealed the words of this psalm to King David in the shape of a menorah, emblazoned upon a golden shield. David engraved the image upon his own shield, causing his enemies to fall before him.
The psalm itself requests that people will grow to know God, thank Him, and walk in His ways, and that in turn, God will bless us and shine His countenance upon us. Ultimately, this is the purpose of the Sefirat haOmer period. It is a time of refinement, growth, and personal development.
The Menorah is therefore a most appropriate image, as its seven branches are said to represent the seven orifices of the face (eyes, ears, nostrils, and mouth), and the seven major parts of the body (arms, legs, head, torso, and reproductive organ). Our task is to purify all of these aspects of ourselves, so that our bodies become holy and our souls shine forth like the radiant light of the Menorah.

We believe the Bible, both Old and New Testament to be the inspired, infallible Word of God and the final authority for all faith and life.
We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. He is the Personal, Transcendent, Sovereign Creator, Redeemer, Lord and Judge.
We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ; He is fully God and fully human, and in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, in His intercession for us, and in His personal return in power and glory.
We believe that all people are by nature separated from God and responsible for their own sin, but that salvation is freely offered to all by the grace of our Lord and the only hope of redemption is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ. When a person repents of sin and accepts Jesus Christ as personal Savior and Lord, trusting Him alone to save, that person is immediately born again and sealed by the Holy Spirit, all his/her sins are forgiven, and that person becomes a child of God, destined to spend eternity with the Lord.
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit to convict, indwell, guide, instruct, fill and empower the believer for godly living and service.
We believe in the bodily resurrection of both the saved and the unsaved; they that are unsaved unto the resurrection of damnation and they that are saved unto the resurrection of life.


Blackberry motion is said to be the most powerful battery phone from Blackberry and if you are the new owner of this smartphone then here are few how to guides to customize your device home screen, change the convenience keys, take private photos in locker mode and do more.
How to customize the home screen?
In Blackberry Motion like most of the Android smartphones you can select your own preferred wallpaper, animations, and more by going to Settings > Display, which will show a menu with a range of different options. To change your wallpaper, simply tap the wallpaper option. There, you can also edit your screensaver, set how much screen on time it takes before your display turns off, and so on.
How to change what the Convenience Key does?
The BlackBerry Motion has an extra button that it calls the "Convenience Key." It's located on the side of the device, and you can assign a function to it the first time you use it. Simply head to Settings, then scroll down to Convenience Key. You can then either replace your current shortcut, or set up new ones. Even you can change it if you want.
How to take private photos in Locker Mode?
BlackBerry phones are known for their privacy features, and the Motion is no different. The device features a "Locker Mode," which stores selected photos and files securely and hides them from other apps. To take a picture using Locker Mode, open the Camera app, then instead of tapping the shutter button to take the photo, tap the fingerprint sensor. The photo will then be stored in the BlackBerry Locker, which can only be accessed with your fingerprint or PIN code, and can't be accessed by apps.
How to add files to the Locker?
Not only you can store just photos in the Locker, but it's pretty easy to store other files too. To do so, open the Files app, then navigate to the file you want to store. Then, tap the three dots next to the file you want to store, and hit the Lockbutton. You'll be asked if you're sure you want to move the file to the locker. Tap Lock again, and authenticate the move with your fingerprint or PIN code.
Taking a screenshot on the BlackBerry Motion is just as easy as on other Android phones. When you're on a screen that you want to capture, simply hold down the power and volume down buttons at the same time and your screenshot will be captured. To view the screenshot, open up the Photos app, hit the Albums button on the bottom, and open the Screenshots album.
How to use the Privacy Shade?
The BlackBerry Motion has an app called the Privacy Shade, which basically allows you to control what's visible on your phone's display. The app itself is pretty easy to use. Simply open the Privacy Shade app, then you can move the shade around the screen. To change the size or shape of the Privacy Shade, hit the Settings cog in the top right-hand corner. The first button at the top changes between a circular shade and a rectangular one, the second option opens and closes the shade, the third changes the size of the shade, and the fourth allows you to control how light or dark the area around the shade is.
As you in any other smartphone similarly with Blackberry Motion you can control how your phone uses battery. To do so, open the Settings app, then tap the Battery option. There you'll be able to identify culprit apps or services for battery use. You can also toggle on or off Battery savermode, which restricts background activities, animations, and so on.
Many smartphone users have fingerprint and PIN code to unlock their device, but there are others that are interesting in setting up Smart Lock, so you don't always have to authenticate when you unlock, if you're in a trusted location or the phone knows that you're using it. To set up Smart Lock, open the Settings app, then scroll down to the Security option Tap the Smart Lock button, confirm your PIN code, then you can set different ways for the phone to know you're using it. Also On Body Detection, basically involves you unlocking the phone once, after which it will remain locked as long as it's in motion. Another allows you to add Trusted Devicesso if it's connected to the smartwatch you're wearing, you won't have to unlock your phone to use it.
How to use the productivity tab?
The new Blackberry smartphones have featured a "Productivity Tab," which allows you to see calendar events, messages, a checklist, and contacts, all at a glance. To use it, simply slide it out from the right of the screen, then tap the option you want along the edge of the display. To edit the Productivity Tab, simply hit the Settings cog on the top right of the display, which allows you to change the side of the display the tab is on, the position of it, and so on.
How to use the fingerprint sensor to go back?
On the BlackBerry Motion, you can tap the fingerprint sensor to go back but you have to enable the feature first. To do so, open the Settings app, then hit the Gestures option. From there, toggle the switch next to Touch to back under fingerprint sensor. Note that this won't disable the ability to put photos in the locker. Also remember the Touch to back function doesn't work in the camera app.
Any other feature you want to ask as how to do?

After centuries of ethnic and Arab rule, slave trading, Portuguese colonialism and decades of devastating civil war, Mozambique gained independence from Portugal in 1975, and finally became a democratic republic in 1990.
The country has nearly 1500 miles of coastline that lies on the Indian Ocean, and has a rich and varied habitat, with relatively small human population. It has enormous potential and is regaining its once proud reputation as a primary safari destination.
The lower Zambezi in Mozambique are some of the most productive and biologically diverse tropical floodplains in Africa.

Conservation Hunting
The primary hunting areas, in the famous Zambezi Delta, now boast some of the largest herds of Cape buffalo in southern Africa, as well as high populations of Sable, Nyala, Waterbuck, Kudu, Bushbuck and Reedbuck. The thick sand forests of the Delta are some of the best places in Africa to hunt Suni, both Blue and Red Duikers, and Warthogs.
The Mozambique hunting season opens on the 1st April and closes on the 30th November, which roughly coincides with the cooler, dry, winter season.
• Coutada 9, Nhacainga Conservancy, Manica Province
The management team at the Coutada 9 hunting concession, have been involved with conservation and community development in Mozambique for many years. After the civil war and the subsequent poaching that took place, a program of buffalo and lion reintroduction was undertaken. Coutada 9 has vast quantities of grass, it needs bulk grazers like buffalo to reduce moribund (building up of dead grass) to ensure fresh growth, and to open up areas for other grazers that prefer shorter grass. Controlled fire have been used to do this but if fire is overused it can lead to a reduced biodiversity; as only the grass, that is fire resistant, will remain. The buffalo not only reduce grass, and reduce the need for wild fires but they also fertilise as they go.
The lions were brought in from South Africa as part of a programme that relocates lions to prevent in-breeding and reduce overpopulation in some areas - there is strong evidence that the lions are thriving, as several large kudu bulls have been taken!
• Buffalo Camp, Zambezi Delta, Province of Sofala
This beautiful area is made up of palm savanna, open grassland and perennial rivers on the edge of the famous Marromeu Buffalo Reserve. It has excellent numbers of buffalo! Together with the plains game available in Nhacainga Conservancy, a combination hunt between these two areas is an excellent and diverse safari option.
Mozambique has a subtropical climate, with a dry season lasting from April to December, temperatures range from 12°C at night to 28°C in the day, and a rainy season from January to March. The beaches are stunning throughout the dry season, although the winter months, June to August, can be breezy; especially in the north. The optimal time to visit is September to November, when temperatures range from 17°C at night to 30°C in the day, and game viewing is at its best, the weather calmest and warmest.

FOOT:We start with the true foot, which means we measure from heel to toe. That measurement (in centimeters) is then translated into our standard sizes.
To find your foot measurement closely trace your entire foot onto a piece of paper and measure from heel to toe. If your measurement is between chart numbers, we recommend sizing up.
BUST: First, find your bust size by measuring around the fullest part of the chest while wearing a bra with little to no extra padding. If you don't have a tape measure, use a string and measure it against a ruler. Find your measurement on the size chart to determine your ideal UA sports bra size.
DIFFERENCE 1 inch" 2 inches" 3 inches" 4 inches" 5 inches"
WAIST: Measure around your natural waistline-right above your hips. Be careful not to squeeze too tight to allow a little give.
CHEST:Place the tape measure under your arms at the fullest part of your chest, wrap around your body until your fingers meet and mark the measurement.
To find your foot measurement at home, closely trace your entire foot onto a piece of paper and measure from heel to toe. If your measurement is between chart numbers, we recommend sizing up. Be sure you're putting your full weight on your foot while tracing. Please note: for the best results, measuring later in the day is recommended.
HANDS: On your dominant hand, measure from the base of your palm to the tip of your middle finger then use the chart to find your ideal UA glove size. You can also measure the circumference of your palm right under your fingers.
HEAD: To figure out your UA fitted hat size, measure the circumference of your head where your hat will rest. If you don't have a tape measure, use a string and measure it against a ruler. Find your measurement on the size chart to determine your ideal UA hat size.

Competition Trade & Regulatory
Spain-English
Claimants ask CAT to check out Tesco's restrictive covenant via fast-track procedure
Standalone damages claim brought in CAT against Tesco
The Consumer Rights Act 2015 (the CRA) has made changes to the competition private damages actions regime, notably extending the scope of s.47A of the Competition Act 1998 (the Act) to allow damages actions to be brought on a stand-alone basis, as opposed to only being allowed on a follow-on basis. This revision is currently being made use of by the owners of a plot of land, who are bringing a claim in the Competition Appeal Tribunal (CAT) for damages and an injunction against Tesco Stores Limited (Tesco), as confirmed in a notice of claim published on 18 February 2016. The claimants allege that following their sale of land to Tesco in 1997, a restrictive covenant, imposed under the terms of the transfer agreement and burdening land retained by the claimants, is in breach of Chapter I and/or Chapter II of the Competition Act 1998 (the Act) as well as the common law doctrine of restraint of trade. The restrictive covenant prevents the claimants' burdened land from being used for the sale of food, convenience goods or pharmacy products.
The claimants have brought their action for damages on several grounds. Firstly, they allege that either or both of the transfer agreement and restrictive covenant constitute an agreement or concerted practice, having the object or effect of preventing, restricting and/or distorting competition on the relevant market within the UK, contrary to the prohibition under Chapter I of the Act. The claimants also allege that the restrictive covenant adversely affects trade within the UK, as it hinders the claimants' ability to develop and lease the retained land and/or it hinders the sale of grocery and pharmacy goods within the relevant geographic market, further contrary to the Chapter I prohibition.
Insofar as the prohibition under Chapter II of the Act is concerned, the claimants allege that the covenant protects Tesco's dominance in the markets for particular goods, the sale of which is prohibited by the covenant, thereby preventing, restricting and distorting competition. Further, or in the alternative, the claimants allege that the restrictive covenant offends the common law doctrine of restraint of trade. The claimants argue that the covenant is greater in scope and duration than would have been necessary to protect any legitimate interest of Tesco existing at the time of the transfer.
In addition to damages and interest, the claimants are also requesting an injunction preventing Tesco and any of its associated companies from enforcing the restrictive covenant.
As well as being only the second instance of a stand-alone damages action being brought in the CAT pursuant to the revised s.47A of the Act, the first having been settled prior to trial , the case is also of particular interest for other reasons. The claimants have requested that the proceedings be designated under the new fast track procedure, recently introduced as an extension to the CAT Rules following the enactment of the Consumer Rights Act 2015, providing a new, streamlined option for claims arising under s.47A. Further, this claim is the first of its kind in privately challenging Tesco's use of a restrictive covenant to prevent rival operators from selling the categories of goods specified in the covenant. It should be noted that, in 2013, Martin Retail Group Limited (Martin) successfully challenged a decision of Crawley Borough Council (the Council) to refuse to extend its permitted use so that it could sell groceries. In that case, the court found that the use restrictions imposed by the Council on Martin's lease could have an anti-competitive effect.
It is also notable that following a market investigation by the Competition Commission into the supply of groceries in the UK, the industry found itself subject to the Groceries Market Investigation (Controlled Land) Order 2010. This Order contains remedies designed to limit the ability of large grocery retailers to prevent land from being used by their competitors for grocery retailing in the future, including obligations to lift specified restrictive covenants and not to enter into new ones that may restrict grocery retailing. Following the making of this order, the Commission ordered Tesco to remove restrictive covenants over four UK sites. The restrictive covenant in question clearly fell outside the scope of the order.
Tesco and others in the grocery and real estate industries will await the outcome of this case with interest as it could set a precedent for the overturning of similar covenants burdening land across the UK.

By applying the knowledge from the different disciplines of our firm, we are able to create authentic, newly imagined places that immerse us in the richness of landscape. We utilize our Landscape Architecture, Building Architecture, and Interior Architecture background to create places and spaces for people by connecting those disciplines in a way that provides a seamless experience.
By adding a layer of intimacy and detail that enhances the sensory qualities of the urban experience, we bring a tactile and visual richness beyond what one finds in the pure architecture and planning of the traditional urban environment. We have a unique perspective on the built environment, one that fosters collaboration and interweaves Landscape Architecture into the fabric of the urban context. There is a return to the urban core and the "idea" of the urban core is reaching out to what was traditionally suburban environments. Our purpose is to help define those new environments and reconnect them.
By utilizing a multidisciplinary approach and adding layers of design, we were successfully able to connect people to their history and to each other.
A Plaza is often the most important area of design for a new or existing building project.
Amenities have taken front stage as people begin to blur the lines between where they Live, Work and Play.
What is a Garden if there are no people there to enjoy it? We take a human-centered approach to what was historically a plant-centered solution.
Streetscapes serve as a pedestrian conduit, a resting place for commuters, or a place of engagement with the street front. No other place has the potential for activity than the Urban Streetscape.
Next Generation Office Tenants consider their work environment to be a home away from home. By incorporating more hospitality influenced amenities and spaces, building owners are refreshing their real estate portfolios to meet these needs.
As the desire for urban living increases, many suburban developments are taking a new look at how the exterior of their projects are perceived. By pursuing pedestrian connectivity and more contemporary finishes, more developments are moving more towards an urban model of design.


All readers have a copy of the text. The teacher or the lead reader reads a line of text. It will depend on the age and ability level of your students when deciding how much to read at one time.
While the leader reads out loud with expression and at a good pace, the rest of the group follows along in the text.
After the reader reads a line or sentence, then the students read it out loud. They try to imitate the way the leader reads the text during echo reading activities.
Echo reading is an easy-to-use reading strategy for helping struggling readers learn about fluency, expression, and reading at an appropriate rate. This strategy can also help them learn about paying attention to punctuation marks while reading. The teacher or leader is modeling important skills to become a successful reader during echo reading activities. In a remedial reading class, students may also have difficulty with vocabulary in stories and books. Echo reading helps students to recognize new words and read at a pace which is better for comprehension. If students read too slow or too fast, they will most likely have trouble comprehending what they are reading. Fluency and pace affect comprehension, and using echo reading activities is perfect for helping struggling readers improve these skills.
Use a big book with a small group or class to do echo reading. Many simple picture books have been turned into big books for use in primary and remedial reading classrooms. In this case, the students wouldn't have their own text in front of them, but they should be able to see the words in the big book. It is important when echo reading that students can follow along in a text, and they are not just repeating words back to the teacher.
Once a student has improved his reading ability or mastered a book, he can become the leader of echo reading activities. This can help a student's confidence and self-esteem. Many struggling readers have poor self-esteem. Finding ways to help these children improve in these personal areas is as important as helping them read well.
Poetry can be a great text for echo reading. Poems are often short and can be copied onto one page, so students can have a copy while they are participating in echo reading activities.

Gabbard's approach is an active form of adjustment which she intends to bring to the country. Gabbard actively carried out several measures like meeting with Syrian dictator Bashar Al-Asad in 2017 to bring form the cause of peace. She has strong stands on the foreign policy and opposes the regime change wars. She believes that Trump's strategy of governance has proved to be counterproductive on various fronts.

Tulsi Gabbard firmly believes that divineness and partisan politics should take a back. Therefore, she has been focusing on the more important issues impacting America. She is known for her brave acceptance of evolution in opinions about LGBTQ rights. Tulsi Gabbard is a supporter of same-gender marriages and showed her support towards transgender military troops. Her progressive and adaptive nature is what compels the world to believe in her ability to hold the strong position of President in 2020.
Conclusion - The case for Tulsi Gabbard 2020
Thus, Tulsi Gabbard is a promising chance for the national political scenario. Her modern and upright stand demonstrates that she isn't afraid of taking strong actions when the situation calls for it. She isn't merely an excellent spokesperson, her ideas have the ability to significantly impact change in the nation. With Tulsi Gabbard finally refocusing resources for the welfare of the people, she can steer the country in a different direction. In all her strong stands and peaceful measures, she indeed stands a strong chance of emerging as the president in 2020.
