The precursors of true sportswear emerged in New York before the Second World War.[2] Clare Potter and Claire McCardell were among the first American designers in the 1930s to gain name recognition through their innovative clothing designs, which Martin described as demonstrating "problem-solving ingenuity and realistic lifestyle applications".[10] Garments were designed to be easy-to-wear and comfortable, using practical fabrics such as denim, cotton, and jersey.[18] McCardell in particular has been described as America's greatest sportswear designer.[18] Her simple, practical clothes suited the relaxed American dress code, neither formal nor informal, that became established during the 1930s and 1940s.[2] McCardell once proclaimed: "I belong to a mass production country where any of us, all of us, deserve the right to good fashion."[19] Martin credits the 1930s and 40s sportswear designers with freeing American fashion from the need to copy Paris couture. Where Paris fashion was traditionally imposed onto the customer regardless of her wishes, American sportswear was democratic, widely available, and encouraged self-expression.[10] The early sportswear designers proved that the creation of original ready-to-wear fashion could be a legitimate design art which responded stylishly to utilitarian requirements.[10]
In a 1974 essay titled "Recession Dressing," the writer Kennedy Fraser noted how Halston's work, particularly his success with making basic garments in luxurious fabrics, was that of an "anti-designer" who liberated American women of fashion from needlessly elaborate, conventional high fashion from high-end establishment American designers. She also singled out Clovis Ruffin and Stephen Burrows.[40] Alongside Calvin Klein, Jhane Barnes, and Ralph Lauren, Martin has described Halston, Ruffin and Burrows as "paragons" of 1970s and early 1980s Seventh Avenue sportswear style.[4]
The curator Richard Martin put on an exhibition on sportswear in 1985 at the Fashion Institute of Technology, in which he described sportswear as "an American invention, an American industry, and an American expression of style."[4] For Martin, American sportswear was an expression of various predominantly middle-class aspects of American culture, including health ideals, the concept of democracy, ideas of comfort and function, and innovative design which might refer to historical concepts or leisure attributes.[4] The establishment of a five-day working week and an eight-hour working day in America in the mid-20th century led to the need for clothing which enabled the fullest possible enjoyment of such increased leisure time, and was designed accordingly.[4] A subsequent exhibition of 1930s-70s sportswear, also curated by Martin, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1998, was introduced by Philippe de Montebello as showing pioneering garments, whose modesty, comparative simplicity, and wearability treated fashion as a "pragmatic art."[5] de Montebello carefully explained how significant American designers such as Norman Norell, Pauline Trigère, Charles James and Mainbocher, were not considered sportswear designers, as they were not dedicated to the design principles of versatility, accessibility and affordability in the way that Claire McCardell or Emily Wilkens were.[5]
The quality of Italian sportswear was recognized early on by Robert Goldworm, an American sportswear designer who in 1947 joined his New York-based family company Goldworm.[52] Through his second company base in Milan, Goldworm became the first American knitwear designer to take advantage of Italian quality and bring it to the New York market.[52] In 1959 Goldworm, in recognition of his active promotion and support of the Italian knitwear industry, was made a Commander of the Order of the Star of Italian Solidarity by the Italian government.[53][54]

It's a Saturday night at Patsy's Irish Pub in Mission Viejo, a wealthy suburb in south Orange County.
Patsy's looks like a lot of other California bars in 2019 — a young woman belting off-key Katy Perry karaoke, a crowd of patrons vaping outside in a strip mall parking lot.
And loads of 20- and 30-year-olds who still live with their parents.
"I'm here right now getting drunk with my mom," said Jacob Ostheimer, a 24-year old who lives with his mother and step-father … and his wife. "The whole family's here."
Ostheimer, who said he was co-founding a cannabis company with his stepfather, is not alone. Statewide, roughly 37% of Californians age 18 to 34 live with their parents, according to U.S.Census Bureau data.
In this pricey part of Southern California, where the average home is valued at well over $700,000, about 55% of young adults shack up with mom and/or dad.
"[My wife and I] had an apartment here for two years," said Ostheimer. "But I was spending like 30 grand a year in rent, and I could have had that in my savings right now."
Despite a booming economy and sizzling job market, millennial, and now Generation Z, Californians are as likely to live at home as young Californians were a decade ago during the depths of the Great Recession
"This has, I think, surprised many of us, including myself," said Richard Fry, a senior researcher with the Pew Research Center, who says he expected multi-generational living arrangements to decline as the economy recovered.
"Clearly in certain areas rents have gone up and the cost of living independaently has increased."
Here's everything you need to know about the roughly 3.6 million Californians living with mom and dad into their 20's and early 30's. Yes, including the sex stuff.
The geography of living with your parents
California is not the only state with a high rate of young adults living with mom and dad. The living arrangement is equally common in high-cost states such as New York and Massachusetts. In New Jersey, an astonishing 46% of 18- to 34-year olds stay with at least one of their parents, according to Census Bureau data.
We mapped the number of young adults living at home for every county in the U.S. Click on the map below for the full interactive.
Looking at where in California young adults are living with their parents explains a lot about the reasons why. Somewhat counterintuitively, expensive urban cores in places such as San Diego and San Francisco actually have relatively low rates of young adults living at home, owing to the large numbers of twenty-somethings who shack up with roommates to defray housing costs.

Hotspots where stay-at-homers are most ubiquitous usually come in one of two flavors: affluent suburbs near the coast, or lower-income areas often farther inland and with a high concentration of Latino households.
Places like Mission Viejo, with a median household income of over $100,000, are a good example of that first flavor. So are expensive Southern California communities like Palos Verdes or Bay Area burbs like Cupertino and Saratoga, where more than half of young adults live at home.

On the other end of the income spectrum are places like Imperial County, in the southeast tip of the state, or portions of Fresno and Merced counties in the Central Valley. Housing prices are relatively low, but poverty rates are high. Here, young adults are often providing essential financial support to their families.

"The degree of help that young people are giving their parents, particularly among Hispanics, is important to keep in mind," said Jessica Hardie, professor of sociology at Hunter College, CUNY, who studies transitions to adulthood. "I think it's important to think about how it's benefitting the parents, not just the young adults."
Who are these young people, exactly?
Not all of them are so young. About 1 of every 4 Californians between 25 and 34 live with their parents — around 1.5 million people, according to a CalMatters analysis of Census Bureau data.
Stay-at-homers are more likely to be male than female, are more likely to be a person of color than white, and are more likely to live in an immigrant household than their counterparts who have flown the coop.
Beyond the financial benefits of living at home, cultural differences in the stigmas attached to staying with parents — and feelings of obligation to family — also contribute to the trend. Nearly half of California Latinos between 18 and 34 live at home.
"[Hispanics] tend to have higher levels of what we call familism — high regard for family, obligations to family, closeness to family members," Hardie said.
Stereotypes of unemployed, shiftless man-children playing X-Box in their parents' basement aren't really borne out by the data. More than 40% of California stay-at-homers are enrolled in school of some sort, often community college. The vast majority who are not in school are working at least part time.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, those who are working typically aren't making much money. The median income for a working stay-at-homer over the age of 25 is just north of $22,000.
Love and sex, with mom and dad down the hall
Where do young Californians living at home get intimate with their partners? Some are resorting to a tried and true form of privacy.
A Hyundai. Sedan.
"[The car] is small. Very small. Compact, really," laughed Vicki, a 22-year-old college student who lives with her parents in the suburbs of Sacramento.
Vicki and her boyfriend Logan, 25, have fond memories of a parking lot across from the football field at Sacramento State University. Vicki and Logan are pseudonyms — they requested their real names not be used for this story.
Logan also lives with his parents, which made finding a place to have sex somewhat problematic, at least early in the relationship. Vicki's parents forbid Logan from spending the night.
So on weekdays after class, Vicki would tell her parents she would be studying late — like 3 a.m. late.
"At times it would have been more comfortable or more convenient if we could go to like an apartment or a room in general," Vicki said . "But for a while it was fun."

The parking lot where Sacramento State students who live with their parents have sex is pictured in this undated photo.
Three months into the relationship, Vicki and Logan now typically get intimate in Logan's bedroom at his parents' place. Logan says his parents generally don't care, or at least haven't told him if they do. He chips in on the mortgage anyway.
"This is a new world for both parents and children," said Dr. Helen Fisher, a researcher on sex and love at the Kinsey Institute. "In my day, one never took a boy home. Never."
Fisher said parents are generally less concerned about their adult children having sex in their house than they are about their children saving up enough money to buy a house of their own one day.
And a certain type of parent might actually prefer to keep their children and their partners this close.
"Some people might be pleased with it because they get to know their child in a new way, and they get to know some of the people they are going around with," Fisher said. "They're helicopter parents."
But even while parents are more sexually permissive than they used to be, it doesn't mean it's a boon to your average young person's sex life.
"It's impacting their love life in an important way — they're having less sex," Fisher said.
Lots of ink has been spilled in recent years on the so-called "sex recession" — why younger people are having less sex than they used to. Researchers have hypothesized explanations ranging from the prevalence of online pornography to hook-up culture and dating apps.
And while some couples like Vicki and Logan have resorted to a vehicular bedroom, their parking spot is actually the exception, not the rule. Public sex is likely down among younger adults, said Fisher.
Chicken-and-egg marriage questions
Lame dad jokes aside, people in long-term relationships or marriages are much more likely to be having sex than singles.
Which raises a head-scratching question for those who study multi-generational households: Are young people living with their parents longer because they're not in long-term relationships, or are they not in relationships because it's tough to attract a partner when you're living at home?
"I don't know which is the chicken and which is the egg," said Richard Fry, the Pew researcher. "The evidence is pretty clear that young adults who live with a partner or spouse don't usually live with mom or dad. But over the last 60 years, young adults are substantially less likely to be partnered or to be married."
California's high cost of living is complicating that reasoning. In south Orange County, where living with your parents well into young adulthood is relatively free of stigma, moving out is no guarantee your love life will improve.

Ian Baker is 29 and works two low-wage jobs, one at a bowling alley near Mission Viejo. He moved out of his mother's place a little less than a year ago, and hasn't been on a date since.
""Living with my parents it actually wasn't that hard to try and meet girls. Honestly it became harder when I moved out, just because of the fact that in order to move out I had to start working two jobs," Baker said.
Baker now pays $700 a month in rent to split a two-bedroom apartment with three roommates.
The irony isn't lost on him. But Baker takes solace in the fact that he enjoys a romantic step-up from at least one of his roommates. The one who lives in the living room.
"At least I have a door, he doesn't" Baker said . "So I think it's a little bit harder for him."

Brian's Legacy
As Shared by His Father Siegfried Othmer
Play Audio Sample
EEG Info
Brian's Legacy chronicles the emotional journey of a dedicated father and his troubled son. As a child, Brian Othmer faced many challenges. As a young adult, he recorded his journey in a diary, which reveals a young man determined to understand himself and his brain, and to answer the question that drives him: Where do I fit in this world?
brian othmer foundation
The Brian Othmer Foundation was created in January 2002, in loving memory of Brian Othmer (1968-1991). Brian's parents, Siegfried and Sue Othmer, and their younger son Kurt, created the foundation in order to fulfill their vision of sharing the existence of neurofeedback with the world. Through research and exploration, the foundation continues to pursue the nonprofit objectives of research, education, and clinical services in neurofeedback.
Dr. Siegfried Othmer and Susan F. Othmer have been involved with neurofeedback since 1985. The initial impetus was the brain-training of their son Brian for his seizure disorder. The training was life-transforming for their son, which redirected their professional lives to the further development of neurofeedback as well as to the promotion of its public acceptance.
Dr. Othmer is currently Chief Scientist of the EEG Institute and President of the Brian Othmer Foundation. Susan Othmer is Clinical Director at the EEG Institute, which is located in Woodland Hills (Los Angeles). The Othmers have pioneered a number of novel applications of neurofeedback over the years. The Othmers provide professional training in EEG biofeedback and sponsor a professional network of neurofeedback therapists, the EEG Associates. The Othmers have been developing premier instrumentation for neurofeedback continuously over the last twenty-two years, and this development is ongoing.

Mixed Martial Arts--- UFC Fight Night 10 Draws 1.2 Rating; Brutal Knockouts Handled Poorly Yet Again
The live broadcast of UFC Fight Night 10 on Tuesday, June 12th drew an overall rating of 1.2. With a line-up that was considered to have perhaps the least marquee value of any live UFC event on Spike TV to date, the overall rating has to be considered a success.
The main event of UFC Fight Night 10 featured Spencer Fisher and Sam Stout, both of whom were coming off of losses in their last UFC fights. The star in the semi-main event, Jon Fitch, had a UFC record of 5-0 going into the bout, but not a single one of his fights had ever aired on UFC television, and only one of them had ever aired on UFC pay-per-view. While hardcore MMA fans recognize Fitch as one of the top ten welterweight fighters in the world, Fitch's constant placement on the UFC's preliminary undercards means that the casual fans who make up the bulk of the UFC's TV viewership likely had no idea who Fitch was prior to this fight.
With all of these facts in mind, the UFC and Spike TV may have been concerned that UFC Fight Night 10 would draw the UFC's lowest ratings to date, but it did not, at least not in terms of overall viewership. The overall rating of 1.2 managed to stay a tenth of a ratings point higher than the UFC's least-watched live fight special to date (the November 2006 finale of The Ultimate Fighter 4 drew an overall rating of 1.1). In addition, it was two-tenths of a ratings point higher than Spike TV's primetime average rating of 1.0.
Ratings in Key Demographic Continue to Slip
However, in the advertiser-coveted demographic of 18-to-34-year-old males, UFC Fight Night 10 did indeed draw the UFC's lowest ratings ever for a first-run event premiere. There have been two live specials in the UFC's history on Spike TV, dating back to early 2005, that have drawn ratings lower than 2.0 in the 18-to-34-year-old male demographic. UFC Fight Night 9 in April 2007 drew a rating of 1.6 in this demographic, and UFC Fight Night 10 drew a 1.5 rating in this demographic.
The UFC and Spike TV both depend on this key demographic to attract new advertisers and retain current advertisers, so a drop in overall viewership might actually be preferred over the drop in 18-to-34-year-old male viewership that UFC programming on Spike TV has been experiencing in both live specials and the premieres of pre-taped Ultimate Fighter episodes.
In the 18-to-49-year-old demographic, a slightly broader group that is the UFC and Spike TV's second most-targeted demographic, UFC Fight Night 10 drew a rating of 1.5, putting the show in a three-way tie for the all-time low mark among live UFC fight specials on Spike TV. The other two specials in the three-way tie for last place among live UFC events are April 2007's broadcast of UFC Fight Night 9, and November 2006's broadcast of The Ultimate Fighter 4 Finale.
UFC Fight Night 10's Ratings vs. Previous UFC Ratings
Compared to the UFC's average-to-date for fight specials headed into this event, UFC Fight Night 10 was not able to approach the previous shows' average ratings.
The UFC's average-to-date for its previous fifteen fight specials was a 1.7 overall rating, and UFN 10 drew a 1.2 overall rating.
In the 18-to-34-year-old male demographic, the UFC's average-to-date was a 2.8 rating, and UFN 10's rating in this demographic was 1.5.
A March Through the UFN 10 Broadcast, Including Brutal Knockouts and Ratings for Individual Fights
The two-hour broadcast of UFC Fight Night 10 opened up with Drew McFedries' quick knockout victory over Jordan Radev in a fight that drew an overall rating of just 0.7. The first two or three fights on any live UFC broadcast on Spike TV are almost always the least-watched, but even the first fights on the broadcast still manage to hit the 1.0 mark on the vast majority of occasions.
After this fight, when Radev was still unconscious in the ring, the UFC continued what is now a long-standing, de-facto policy of cutting away from the unconscious fighter and not acknowledging the fighter's condition for the rest of the broadcast. The UFC did this on two occasions in 2005 when Terry Martin and Tra Telligman were each brutally knocked out, and then the same thing happened for a third time when Sean Salmon was knocked out cold by Rashad Evans in January 2007. This is the equivalent of an NFL player going down from a big hit and not moving for several minutes, but the camera on the television broadcast cuts to a crowd shot or commercial break, and then the injured NFL player is never or shown or acknowledged again for the rest of the broadcast.
The UFC could not send the next scheduled fighters out to the Octagon while Radev was still receiving medical attention inside the cage, but they were also apparently insistent on keeping with the de-facto policy of not acknowledging the unconscious fighter. So, 16 minutes after the end of the McFedries-Radev fight, a pre-taped preliminary fight between Anthony Johnson and Chad Reiner aired.
The Johnson-Reiner fight also ended in a quick and brutal knockout, as Johnson knocked Reiner out and the fight drew a 1.1 rating. Ironically, while Jordan Radev was still being treated by medical personnel in real time, the UFC also chose not to update or acknowledge the unconscious Reiner's condition for the rest of the broadcast.
After Radev was taken to the backstage area, the next live fight pitted Jon Fitch against Roan Carneiro in a fight that started nine minutes after the Johnson-Reiner bout finished airing. Fitch defeated Carneiro by submission, and the fight drew a 1.0 rating. While that rating could certainly be considered a disappointment, it's not a complete surprise that the fight didn't pop a rating, given the fact that it was Fitch's first ever exposure on a UFC event on Spike TV.
At this point in the broadcast, with two of the three main card bouts having concluded before the end of the second round, there was plenty of time to fill, so the decision was made to air the preliminary fight between Thiago Tavares and Jason Black, as main-eventers Spencer Fisher and Sam Stout made their final preparations backstage. As is usually the case with the UFC's live fight specials on Spike TV, the viewership level increases significantly over the course of the last hour. Thirteen minutes after the end of the Fitch-Carneiro fight, Tavares' impressive submission victory over Black hit the airwaves, and the fight drew a 1.4 rating.
Twenty minutes after the Tavares-Black bout finished airing, Fisher vs. Stout to got underway, and the two fighters had an exciting stand-up battle that Fisher won by unanimous decision. The main event fight drew a 1.6 rating, making it the most-watched fight of the night.
The 1.6 rating for Fisher vs. Stout was higher than every single fight on the UFC Fight Night 9 broadcast, but it was lower than every single fight on the UFC 70 broadcast on Spike TV, and lower than all-but-one of the fights on the UFC Fight Night 8 broadcast. Ironically, that one fight on the UFN 8 broadcast was Spencer Fisher's previous fight, a TKO loss to Hermes Franca that drew a 1.5 rating. Stout's previous fight on Spike TV, a submission loss to Kenny Florian in June 2006, drew a 1.8 rating.
Ratings Comparison: UFC vs. WWE vs. IFL vs. WEC
Even though UFC Fight Night 10's ratings were among the lowest in the UFC's history on Spike TV for a live event broadcast, the Zuffa-owned UFC is still in a different ballpark when compared to other MMA promotions.
The UFC's top competitor for TV ratings amongst current MMA promotions is the IFL. The first ten original episodes of the IFL's "Battleground" series on MyNetworkTV averaged 998,000 viewers, compared to 1,524,000 viewers for UFC Fight Night 10. The Zuffa-owned WEC promotion recently aired its first live event on Versus Network, and the two-hour broadcast averaged 416,000 viewers.
UFC Fight Night 10 also marked the first time since August 2006 that a live UFC fight special went head-to-head with first-run WWE programming. The latest edition of WWE's Tuesday night program "ECW" (which is "ECW" in name only) on the Sci Fi Network out-drew UFC Fight Night 10 in overall rating (1.7 to 1.2) and overall viewers (2,400,000 million to 1,524,000), but the UFC actually beat WWE in the 18-to-34-year-old male demographic. Even the UFC's record low rating of 1.5 was enough in that demographic to beat WWE's rating of 1.2 in the same demographic.
Head-to-Head Network Competition; Other UFC-on-Spike Ratings
Airing head-to-head with the first hour of UFC Fight Night 10 on network television from 9:00 PM to 10:00 PM on Tuesday, June 12th, ABC's presentation of "NBA Finals: Game 3" drew a hugely disappointing overall rating of just 5.1 in the hour. The NBA Finals on ABC lost handily to the NBC variety show "America's Got Talent," which drew an overall rating of 7.9 in the hour. Meanwhile, a repeat of "The Unit" on CBS drew a 4.7 overall rating, and a repeat of "House" on Fox drew a 4.2 overall rating.
Airing head-to-head with the second hour of UFC Fight Night 10 from 10:00 PM to 11:00 PM on June 12th, the second hour of "NBA Finals: Game 3" drew a slightly better 5.7 overall rating on ABC. However, it embarrassingly lost to repeat programming, as a rerun of "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" on NBC drew a 6.1 overall rating. A repeat episode of the documentary news series "48 Hours Mystery" on CBS was not far behind with a 5.1 overall rating.
Leading into the 9:00 PM start of UFC Fight Night 10 on Spike TV, a repeat of UFC Unleashed aired from 8:00 PM to 9:00 PM and drew a disappointing overall rating of just 0.5, continuing the trend of UFC Unleashed's decreased ratings.
After the conclusion of UFC Fight Night 10, the hour-long special "Countdown to UFC 72" aired on Spike TV from 11:00 PM to 12:00 AM and drew an overall rating of 0.8. Thanks in large part to the UFC lead-in, this was higher than the overall rating of 0.7 that was drawn by the premiere of "Countdown to UFC 71" and the overall rating of 0.5 that was drawn by the premiere of "UFC All Access: Quinton Jackson."

When you're doing Local SEO, columnist Greg Gifford reminds us, you must take a step back and look at the big picture if you want to be successful.
STOP Using Your Microscope In Local Search!
What do I mean by that? Put simply: A microscope is a great research tool, but it's a flat-out awful marketing tool.
Local SEO is not, nor has it ever been, based upon a single tactic. Recently, it seems like many business owners will read a post or watch a video, realize that they're not utilizing the tactic mentioned, and immediately drop everything and concentrate on the shiny new object.
Local SEO is not just citations. Local SEO is not just Google My Business (aka Places) optimization. Local SEO is not just inserting your city and state in title tags and H1 headings.
When you use your microscope to focus on a single tactic, your field of view is so zoomed in that you're blinded to the other factors that are just as important. It's a new year, so try a new process — toss that microscope in the trash, take a step back, and look at the big picture.
• Moz's Local Search Ranking Factors study is a great place to start. David Mihm's study shows a simple pie chart that arranges the signal groups by weight in the algorithm. Check out the factors and compare them to your current efforts. If your workflow and task list aren't a fairly close match to the weighted areas of the pie chart, you might want to shift your priorities a bit.
• The most important Google update this year for local businesses was Pigeon. Google drastically changed the way that local results are calculated, and business owners and Local SEOs all across the country collectively freaked out.• Last week, Pigeon rolled out in Canada, Australia, and the UK, and the collective freak-out went international. If you're still holding out hope that Pigeon was just a temporary test, you need to let it go. SEOs in all three countries are reporting the same results that we've been seeing for the last 5 months. Pigeon is here to stay.
• Google threw us for another loop a few weeks ago when it dropped the Local Carousel for many types of businesses. Instead of the Carousel, Google is now displaying an expanded 3-pack.
• The new expanded 3-pack still shows a thumbnail photo like the Carousel, but the listing only shows the business name, review stars, and a short description. Like the Carousel, if you click on one of the listings, you're taken to another SERP for that specific business… instead of the business' website or Google My Business page.
• Another critical recent update: Google's updated Google My Business guidelines. Google is cracking down on category selections, removing the option to add a descriptor to business names, and finally flat-out disallowing virtual offices.
So What Does It All Mean? What's The Big Picture?
Google is putting significant effort into local search. Whether we like Pigeon or not, it's a part of the game now, and we all have to adapt.
A few years ago, you could rock some citations and do nothing else, and you'd still rank at the top of the map pack. Now, there might not even be a map pack for your vertical.
With Pigeon and the new expanded 3-pack, it's clear that mobile behavior is having a huge impact on how Google is approaching local search.
As the scales tip and users switch to mobile devices, local results will be increasingly unique because Google knows exactly where each user is located. You've got to have the right (current) relevancy signals both on your site and off your site if you want to compete in 2015.
You've got to stop focusing on one or two tactics and instead work on everything.
In a nutshell, you should click the "local" button up in the menu and read everything. Twice.
In 2015, you've got to be a jack of all trades if you want to succeed in Local SEO. You can't just bang out a bunch of citations and win any more. You can't just put your city and state in a few title tags and H1 headings. You can't just spam a few Google Places categories.
You have to look at the big picture and do it all if you want to succeed.

Along with her two husbands, Stewart Farrar and Gavin Bone, she has published "some of the most influential books on modern Witchcraft to date." According to George Knowles, "some seventy five percent of Wiccans both in the Republic and Northern Ireland can trace their roots back to the Farrar's [sic]."
Farrar has been one of the most public faces of Wicca, having appeared as a model for book covers and illustrations in several of the best-read books on the subject. She is a frequent guest lecturer on the subjects of Wicca, Neopaganism and witchcraft in North America and Europe.
Janet Owen was born in Clackton in 1950. Her family, of mixed English, Irish and Welsh descent, were members of the Church of England. She attended the Leyton Manor School, and the Royal Wanstead High School girls' school. After high school, Janet worked as a model and receptionist.
She was initiated into Alexandrian Wicca by the tradition's founders, Alex and Maxine Sanders. She met the Sanders in 1970 through a friend who had become interested in exploring Wicca. Janet accompanied her friend to keep the friend "out of this weird cult", but she instead joined the Sanders coven, and would go on to become, in the words of Knowles, one of "England's most eminent and respected modern day witches." In the coven she met Stewart Farrar, her future husband and co-author.
Janet and Stewart Farrar were both elevated to the second degree "in an unoccupied house in Sydenham" by the Sanders on 17 October 1970, and they received the third, and final, degree of initiation in their flat on 24 April 1971. Both events are well-recorded by Stewart Farrar down to the smallest detail in his diaries.
The Farrars began running their own coven in 1971, before their third degree initiation ceremony. They were handfasted in 1972 and legally married in 1975. Janet Farrar left the coven in 1972 to explore Kabbala with a ceremonial magic lodge, but returned the same year. In 1976 the Farrars moved to Ireland to get away from the busy life of London. They lived in County Mayo and County Wexford, finally settling in "Herne Cottage" in Kells, County Meath. Both husband and wife went on to publish a number of books on the Wiccan religion and on coven practises. Farrar continued to model and appeared in the illustrations to multiple early books about Wicca, including the cover of the paperback version of Margot Adler's 1979 Drawing Down the Moon.
Farrar also posed for many of the photographs in their 1981 Eight Sabbats for Witches, which included material the authors claimed to be from the Alexandrian tradition's Book of Shadows. The Farrars, with the support of Doreen Valiente, argued in the book that even though the publishing of this material broke their oath of secrecy, it was justified by the need to correct misinformation.
Janet Farrar indicates that some of the rituals contained in the couple's books were actually written by them, and that they left the Alexandrian tradition after the book's research was complete. The couple co-authored four more books on Wicca. Janet Farrar's post-Alexandrian practice has been referred to as "Reformed Alexandrian".
They were joined by Gavin Bone in 1993, with whom they entered into a "polyfidelitous relationship". The three of them would co-author two more books, The Healing Craft and The Pagan Path, an investigation into the many varieties of Neopaganism. Stewart Farrar died in February 2000 after a brief illness. Janet Farrar and Gavin Bone married in a handfasting in May 2001, and then legally married in Northern Ireland (Ulster) in March 2014.
After Stewart Farrar's death, Janet Farrar and Gavin Bone continued to author books, and have given a number of lectures on Wicca in the United States, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Italy and in Britain. The title of their 2004 book, Progressive Witchcraft, is the description that the couple prefers for their current religious practice. This was re-released in 2013 as a new edition called Inner Mysteries. Their current area of work is in trance-prophesy, trance-possession and ecstatic ritual and they are currently working on a major book on the subject which they hope to release with Acorn Guild Publishing in 2014. They are also founders of The Alliance of Progressive Covens, which includes linked groups and covens in the United States, Ireland and Italy.
Farrar has co-authored a number of books about Wicca and Neopaganism.

Most people associate car accidents with broken bones and brain injuries, but the emotional trauma of a serious collision can be just as devastating as the physical wounds. Post-traumatic stress disorder can be debilitating, and car wrecks are the leading cause of PTSD in the United States.
PTSD can affect your relationships, career, and enjoyment in life. Many people with PTSD do not seek treatment because they fear the cost; however, you may be able to recover compensation for medical care by filing a personal injury claim.
Matt Troutman is an accident lawyer in Lexington who will evaluate your case and help you fight for the maximum compensation to pay for medical bills, lost income, and non-economic damages. Mr. Troutman has been a practicing personal injury attorney since 1986. Call today to schedule a free initial consultation at the Troutman Law Office.
Working a job that exposes the person to traumatic events.
Being unable to remember details about the crash.
Your doctor will most likely prescribe a treatment plan that involves psychotherapy and medication. Psychotherapy for PTSD sufferers usually involves exposure therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).
Exposure therapy will help you overcome irrational fears by confronting the cause of your PTSD symptoms. CBT will help you identify and change negative thought patterns.
Antianxiety medications and antidepressants can treat your PTSD symptoms in the short-term; however, they are not ideal for long-term use because of the potential for addiction and abuse.
Under Kentucky law, a personal injury victim can pursue compensation for mental anguish and emotional distress; however, due to the subjective nature of these non-economic damages, it is rarely easy to recover fair compensation. This is where a personal injury attorney can help.
Matt Troutman is an accident lawyer in Lexington who will investigate your collision, gather evidence, and help you fight for the maximum settlement. If your case goes to trial, Mr. Troutman has the litigation experience to represent your interests in court. Call today to schedule a free initial consultation.

Herschel Walker Fights Off Father Time with the Best of 'em
Up until Saturday night's "Strikeforce: Diaz vs. Cyborg" show, I was convinced P90X's Tony Horton was Father Time's kryptonite. While the 52-year-old has captivated the world over with his workout regimen, Herschel Walker is doing things at 48 (he turns 49 in March) that has the MMA world in complete awe.
"I'm happy I won and I'm happy I took it to the ground,'' Walker said after bumping his pro record to a perfect 2-0. "My ground game has definitely improved. That's something we've been working on in the gym with all the guys since the last fight."
Prior to his 1stRound victory over Scott Carson, Walker professed he was more fit now than when he collected his Heisman Trophy award nearly 30 years ago. In fact, he claimed he could still clock a 4.4 in the 40-yard dash.
Despite his advanced age, Walker understands he's just a rookie in the game of MMA. Knowing there's still a ways to go, he's anxious to get back to American Kickboxing Academy to crack the books … and some skulls.
"I don't have time to play," Walker admitted. "When I do something I do it with all my heart. I have to train more. I'm still a young MMA fighter. I'm happy with the win but I still have a lot to learn.
"I love MMA and look forward to fighting again.''
Randy Couture is mixed martial art's most accomplished elder statesman. The UFC Hall of Famer is 47 and is perfect through his last three Octagon outings.
While Walker's performance inside the HP Pavilion on Saturday was impressive, Horton remains my elderly idol. He and Pam "The Blam" have parleyed their primitive workout routine into a hundred-million dollar company.


Robert Mondavi Fume Blanc from California was shared by myself and a couple of friends.
According to the bottle we were to be prepared for "pear, melon and spice." To our surprise, Robert Mondavi Fume Blanc gave us a completely different, though very positive, experience.
Robert Mondavi Fume Blanc alcohol content 13.9% by volume.
The varietal composition of Robert Mondavi Fume Blancis 92% Sauvignon Blanc and 8% Semillon, from Napa Valley.
Our first taster, let's call him Big Al, did notice a spicy aroma and a taste that started spicy but noticed other subtleties as well. To him, the wine finished woody with hints of vanilla on the side of the tongue. He also picked flavors of orange citrus.
Our second taster, let's call her Miss Jan, thought Robert Mondavi Fume Blanc had a citrus aroma and felt this wine was dry however very likeable.
Last but not least, yours truly, also picked up the citrus aroma. I felt the wine was very light, a little fruity and also very likeable.
So, no pear or melon, but definitely a great wine. A superb warm weather delight. We all loved it. Recommend!
Robert Mondavi Fume Blanc price about $22.99.
I'll be a taste tester again any time!!!!

So you have decided that now may be the time to buy that home in the Southern Pines and Ft. Bragg area. What is next?
Find a good and knowledgeable Realtor® that will dedicate the time and attention that you need.
Get pre-qualified. If you don't have an established relationship with a lender, your agent should be able to give you some resources for this.
Your agent should listen to your needs, be understanding, and knowledgeable about the area.
Be honest and upfront with the Realtor® about your situation, wants, and needs. Is there a crucial time factor regarding the move? Are there specific things that you require in a home? Ex: handicap accessible, certain number of bedrooms, etc.?
Give honest feedback on all the homes you see. This helps the agent better understand exactly what you are wanting.
Once you have found the home that you want, now what?
Time to make an offer.
Your agent should be able to show you what similar homes in that area have sold for. After looking at this information, decide on what you think is a fair offer. Once you've come to a decision as to what you want to offer, the agent will write it up and submit it.
Be prepared for a counter offer. It is rare that your first offer will be accepted. You will also need to put earnest money down with you offer. Earnest money is like "good faith money. It will be credited at closing.
You may find the following publications from the real estate commission useful.
In the state of North Carolina, we have what is called a "due diligence" period. During this time, you get the loan process started. Be prepared to for the loan officer to ask you for a lot of documentation. It is important that you respond quickly when they make requests. The appraisal along with inspections will be done during this time. You will also need to choose a real estate attorney to represent you and handle the closing.
It is imperative that you get the home inspected prior to buying it. It may be the best money you've ever spent. The common inspections consist of a home inspection, termite inspection, and septic inspection (if there is a septic system). These inspections can uncover current material and structural problems with the home as well as things that could possibly be problematic in the future.
Once the inspections are done, you should sit down and go over them with your agent. You can then request/negotiate with the seller to fix certain things. Once the repairs have been negotiated and settled, it's time to relax and wait on closing day.
It is a good idea for the buyers to make a final walk through the property prior to closing. This is usually done either the day before or the day of closing. This provides assurance to the buyers that the home is still in the same material shape that it was in when it went under contract.
On closing day, you will meet with your attorney to sign the paperwork needed to become a homeowner. The attorney will take care of getting all required paperwork signed, seeing that funds are transferred, and the deed is registered at courthouse. After all this is done- congratulations, you are a homeowner!

It would seem that cryptocurrency investors now have a lot in common with gold investors. Whereas gold has seen a prolonged pullback from 2011 to 2015, cryptocurrency investors have seen the same type of pullback, but over a shorter period of time. But we all have seen how the cryptocurrency markets move much faster than any other market on earth.
In past articles, we discussed how the $3000-$4700 zone for Bitcoin was key long term support. Ryan Wilday had called out that region in many of his public presentations and articles since early February last year. As discussed in our last article, we wanted to see $4700 hold, but Bitcoin had something else in mind, as it continued to decline to our next target in the $3000 region.
We can liken this current pullback in the cryptocurrency market to a mini version of our two-year long pullback in the gold market after the 2016 rally. Of course, gold bulls have suffered much longer than crypto-enthusiasts. But, cryptocurrency investors are not quite as patient as gold investors, as they have become accustomed to high volatility and fast money.
Sentiment in social media outlets we track has grown exceedingly bearish, which is the hallmark of the culmination of bear markets. We've seen many throw in the towel. We have seen cryptocurrency perma-bears pat themselves on the back, and renew calls for a target price of $0. Yet in the background of lost hope, frustration, and maybe even boredom, we have built one of the best setups for bulls we've had since our bear market began in early 2017.
Zooming into the details, we are within the throes of a very deep 2nd wave pullback within the Elliott Wave 5-wave structure.
While Bitcoin has not not quite reached the 76.4% retracement ($3320) of the initial rally off the bear market low, it will likely do so in the coming days. This is a very deep wave two, as these types of retracements typically hold a 61.8% retrace. But Bitcoin tends to go deep in its 2nd waves.
The next milestone after this correction completes is a five wave move to over $4000 for our first subwave of the third wave. This would give us a strong signal that our third wave is under way. The setup itself, provided it follows through, points us back up to the $6000 region in the coming months.
If the current bullish set-up takes shape, we can see a major break out in 2020. Moreover, the Fibonacci extension price targets, based upon log extensions, would point us to targets of at least $65,000, and potentially well beyond. But to get there, this market obviously has much work to do to the climb the wall of worry set in front of us.

Q: C# Display Saxon XSLT transformation result to current ASP.NET container page I've a XML and an XSLT v2.0 transformation to apply to it.
I need to output the resulting HTML (essentialy a table structure for despatch advice document) to the container page.
The container page is an ASP.NET page with some controls and a Tab control (from Telerik) that I want to use to put the final document for viewing it.
My problem is that the transformation returns a full HTML page starting from <html> tag.
How can I filter only the content that I need?
On another similar project I used an ASP.NET Xml Server Control to both apply the transformation (XSLT v1.0) and automatically obtain the document view. This is the code:
XmlDocument xd;
using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(file))
{
    xd = new XmlDocument();
    xd.Load(ms);
}
XDocument InvoiceXDocument = new XDocument();
using (var nodeReader = new XmlNodeReader(xd))
{
    nodeReader.MoveToContent();
    InvoiceXDocument = XDocument.Load(nodeReader);
}

invoiceViewer.TransformSource = @"C:\path\to\transformation.xslt";
invoiceViewer.DocumentContent = InvoiceXDocument.ToString(); // XDocument object of the XML invoice

Since my new XSLT is a XSLT v2.0 I can't use it anymore. So I switched to Saxon.
This is my actual transformation code using Saxon:
Processor processor = new Processor();
XsltCompiler compiler = processor.NewXsltCompiler();
XsltExecutable executable;
executable = compiler.Compile(new Uri(xsltFilePath));

StringWriter output = new StringWriter();
Serializer serializer = new Serializer();
serializer.SetOutputWriter(output);

XsltTransformer transformer = executable.Load();
transformer.SetInputStream(input, new Uri("file:///XSLTValidURI"));
transformer.Run(serializer);

return output.ToString();

How can I obtain the same result using Saxon library?
UPDATE 2016/08/30
The XML files comes from Peppol European Business Document Service (see PEPPOL)
This is the XML to transform (with italian comments).

A: I finally found a solution without need to edit my original XSLT file.
Instead of putting the output inside an <asp:Xml> server control on the DocumentContent property, I used a <asp:Literal> control and the Text property.
The whole output HTML will be shown correctly.

Pizza Perfect
It's more than just crust, sauce and toppings, says restaurateur and author Michael Shepherd.
BY Jessica Esemplare | ART BY
There is an art to making pizza.
So says Michael Shepherd, owner of Michael Angelo's Pizza in Kenton and Rushsylvania and Six Hundred Downtown in Bellefontaine. Shepherd is also a cooking instructor, author, four-time World Pizza Champion and eight-time World Medalist Pizza Acrobat, a title that recognizes his exceptional dough-tossing abilities combined with gymnastic-style moves. His skills have been featured on TV shows such as the Food Network's "Challenge: Pizza Champions" and ABC's "Master of Champions."
We asked this pizza professional to share his pie-making expertise. By following his simple instructions, anyone can prepare restaurant-quality pizza.
"You can make one of the best pizzas you've ever had in your life at home," says Shepherd. "You've got to have the time and just be patient."
It all starts with the flour, he says. You can't have good pizza without good crust, and a high-gluten flour is the key to creating restaurant-quality dough at home.
"Most everybody at home is trying to make dough with their all-purpose flour or maybe a bread flour," he says, "and it just doesn't have enough protein in it."
High-gluten flour can be ordered from online sources or found at restaurant supply stores that are open to the public, such as Gordon Food Service, which has locations throughout the Midwest.
Once you have the right flour, preparing dough is easy, but it does require patience. The biggest mistake people make, according to Shepherd, is using dough before it goes through a 24-to-48-hour maturation process.
"Your dough ... is like a caterpillar," he explains. "And then you put it into the refrigerator for two days and it's like it's going into a cocoon. When you pull it out two days later, you've got a butterfly. You can't do anything to speed it up. It just needs time."
It's best to blend the dough by hand, because the high-gluten flour can burn out stand mixers. Start by mixing all of the dry ingredients in a bowl, add water and stir until it forms a ball. Continue mixing and kneading on the counter for about 15 to 20 minutes. Once the dough is ready, it can be stored in the refrigerator and used for up to eight days.
The next step is sauce, which doesn't have to be complicated. You can crush and cook fresh Roma tomatoes or use canned crushed tomatoes. From there, it's a matter of preference. For a thicker sauce, add some tomato paste or thin it out with a bit of olive oil. For flavor, Shepherd recommends a touch of oregano, black pepper, salt and brown sugar, which offsets the acidity of the tomatoes.
The sauce, like the dough, should be refrigerated overnight so the spices have time to develop.
When it comes to cheese, Shepherd cautions against skimping on quality.
"The best cheese for a pizza is whole-milk mozzarella," he says. "The second-best cheese would be a blend of whole-milk mozzarella and provolone." Both can be obtained at a deli and shredded at home. But, he advises, don't buy pre-packaged pizza cheese, which usually has part-skim mozzarella and fillers.
"When you pull the fat out of cheese, you're pulling the flavor out," says Shepherd.
As for toppings, "The sky's the limit." But just like the cheese, it's important to focus on quality. Pepperoni lovers should visit a deli for a dry pepperoni stick, rather than purchase the prepackaged variety, which is oily.
It's important to cook all other meats before putting them on the pizza since it won't be in the oven long. Vegetables, however, are an individual preference. Sauteing them in advance removes some of the moisture and keeps the pizza from getting soggy, but layering in the proper order (sauce, cheese, meat, veggies) also prevents moisture buildup. With the vegetables on top, some of the water will evaporate rather than get trapped below the other toppings.
For baking, Shepherd uses a thick granite pizza stone preheated in a very hot oven for 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size. If you use a pan, stick with black instead of silver to keep heat from reflecting away from the pie. If your oven has a convection feature, it's best to turn it off so that the regular heat can crisp the crust.
Oven temperature varies based on the size of the pizza and the number of toppings, but most restaurants bake at around 600 degrees. At home, you can bake a thinner-crust pie with minimal toppings for five to six minutes at 500 to 550 degrees. For thicker, Chicago-style pies, Shepherd recommends 475 to 500 degrees to slow down the cooking and allow everything in the center to get done.
"Everyone always wants to know, 'How long do I [bake the] pizza and at what temperature?' You cook it until it's done," he says. "When you put that pizza in the oven, you're there baby-sitting it until it's done."

Roll into three dough balls, brush with olive oil and place in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 24 to 48 hours. Remove dough balls and let warm at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours before using.
Deep-Dish Pizza Dough
Makes three 16-ounce dough balls
Mix all dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. Be sure to keep yeast from coming into direct prolonged contact with the salt. Add water and oil, stir until flour has absorbed most of the liquid, then put dough ball on a table and finish kneading by hand until dough is smooth and aromatic, 15 to 20 minutes. Roll into three dough balls, brush with olive oil and place in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 24 to 48 hours. Remove dough balls and let warm up at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours before using.
Coat a deep-dish pizza pan with olive oil, roll out dough to fit pan, place dough in pan, set in a warm spot for several hours and let it rise to about 75 percent of the desired size.
Place pan in the oven at 300 degrees and partially bake, pulling it out just before it starts to brown. Add sauce, cheese and toppings and bake or cool the crust and put it in an airtight food bag in the refrigerator until ready to use.

The book raises an interesting dilemma: it is not that the music video is itself at fault, it has provided a new space to claim sexual and cultural values for nations and peoples. What the book asks us to consider very carefully is how new technologies are being deployed for creativity and cultural expansion and the increasing tensions that have emerged between the sacred and the profane as society has allowed for more public explorations of human sexual expression. These tensions are inevitable in the ever-changing cultural dynamics of society.

General Sheet Metal (GSM) started in Portland in 1932. The firm grew steadily, weathered the storms of fluctuating economics and is now one of the largest, most comprehensive sheet metal contractors in the Pacific Northwest.
Carol Duncan, President and CEO, is the second generation at the helm. Following her father's retirement, she recognized the advantages of COBID certification and qualified for certification and recognition as a MWESB firm in 2000. Currently, of over 240 employees, 43 (17%) are women and 50 (20%) are minorities.
"We're committed to diversity," said Duncan. "We have been for decades. Recruiting, engaging with people at all levels and being aggressive in making a culture that strives for goals in diversity has become part of who we are."
Duncan cites the company mission statement, "Successfully build through innovation, industry leadership and collaborative relationships," as including COBID and diversity as integral parts of how the company functions.
In addition to having a number of employees, including management, who have graduated from COBID training, several employees regularly attend community outreach events as well as mentor other emerging COBID firms. Applicants for employment regularly express their appreciation for GSM commitment to those goals. GSM's involvement in the community reflects their commitment to diversity as well.
The company has led tours for Oregon Tradeswomen and Portland Youth Builders, participated in the Portland Workforce Alliance career fair, worked with Oregon Association of Minority Entrepreneurs on meetings and trade shows, serves on the board for Workforce Southwest Washington, Clackamas Workforce Partnership, several high school programs and job fairs and supports the ACE Mentorship Program.
Outside of industry groups, the company has actively mentored Fulcrum Construction, a COBID contractor, for the past three years. Duncan attributes their success to creating a culture where leadership and employees share a commitment to racial and gender diversity.
General Sheet Metal has been featured on Oregon Business' 2018 list of 100 Best Workplaces and 100 Green Workplaces.
The company often hires WBE and COBID firms to support other businesses in building diverse workforces. In the past decade they've grown from $8 million annual revenue to over $50 million and at the same time has experience increases in the ratio of women and minorities in its growing workforce.
Their continued expansion has also grown in the services the firm offers. GSM has expanded into mechanical, HVAC, architectural services and fabrication, routinely working with a variety of materials including fiberglass, plastic, brass, aluminum, composites, steel, galvanized, stainless steel and coated materials.

I read your sheet metal post.really best & useful Information.This is good post..Thank you for share this post.


Ver. 1. Seed. What cruelties are occasioned by ambition! W. --- This is one of the most extraordinary proofs recorded in history. Agrippina was but a faint copy of the unnatural Athalia, (C.) who knew that she was destined for slaughter, if she should fall into the hands of Jehu. M. --- Her impiety might also prompt her to destroy all the posterity of David, that she might introduce the worship of idols more easily. Theodoret.
Ver. 2. Sister. She had probably a different mother, as she consented to the death of Athalia. C. --- But the crimes of the latter require such a punishment; and even a daughter would have done wrong to screen her. H. --- Josabeth, as she is called in 2 Par. xxii. 11, was married to Joiada the high priest, ibid. --- Out of. Heb. and Paral. "hid him, even him and his nurse, in the bed-chamber" of the priest, in the temple; (Salien) different from that bed-chamber in which he had hitherto been nursed. Thus the passage may be reconciled. M. C. --- Some maintain that Joas was not the son of Ochozias, in whom the line of Solomon ended, but a descendant of David by Nathan. But he is always styled the king's son, and the authority of the false Philo of Annius is of no weight. C. --- Joiada is called Barachias, "blessed of the Lord," on account of his justice, (S. Jer.) in Mat. xxiii.
Ver. 3. Lord. The case was so extraordinary, that he high priest dispensed with a woman lodging in those apartments. --- Land, for six years, by usurpation. Women were commonly excluded, and she was not of the race of David, 4 K. viii. 26. C.
Ver. 4. Year, of the age of Joas, v. 21. M. --- Centurions. Five in number of the tribe of Levi, (M.) commanding each 100 men. Heb adds "the rams," (C.) to denote "the captains (Prot.) and the runners," or guards. H. --- Joiada was a man of great authority, virtue and discretion; so that he was able to manage this delicate affair, and no one gave information to Athalia, as she was detested. The Levites and principal men of Juda were admonished, underhand, to be present on the day appointed. The quality of high priest, and the known probity and zeal for the public good, which were conspicuous in Joiada, as well as his being so nearly related to the lawful heir to the crown, made the people readily come forward. C.
Ver. 6. Sabbath. On this day the Levites replaced each other; so that many might assemble without suspicion. They guarded the king's apartments in the temple. --- The gate of Sur, or of the foundation, (2 Par. xxiii. 5.) and the western gate leading to the palace. C. --- Sur, or "the gate of the lords," (Chal.) is generally supposed to be on the opposite side. M. --- But this is uncertain, as well as the situation of Messa, which is perhaps the Musach. C. xvi. 18. This was probably some building or covert adjoining the temple, (C.) either belonging to some private person, (M.) or designed to contain the ashes, &c. taken from the temple; (Villalp. ii. 32.) or a tribune for the king in the temple. H. -- The Chaldee seems to have explained it as an adverb, sollicite, "with diligence," (M.) as well as the Sept. (D.) which is consonant to Vatable; you shall guard the house "from desertion." Let no one quit his post. M.
Ver. 7. Of you. Levites, who waited on the king's person alternately. C. --- They were divided into three parts, being in actual service, v. 6. Those who went out of office were twice the number, and are here told what to do. Sa thinks that those who entered upon duty, and those who went out, formed two thirds of the Levites, v. 9. and 2 Par. xxiii. 8. M.
Ver. 8. Temple, to cause confusion, Syr. &c. The court of the priests, (Ezec. xli 9.) and that of Israel, (Josep. viii. 4.) were separated by walls, beyond which strangers were not allowed to pass. C. --- Slain, being first cast out, v. 15. M. --- Great respect is due to holy places, and hence comes the privilege of sanctuaries. W.
Ver. 10. David. There was a sort of arsenal in the temple, containing arms consecrated to the Lord by David and his valiant men, in memory of their victories, 2 K. viii. 11. 1 Par. xviii. 11. The usual band of Levites had proper arms, but more were employed on this occasion. C.
Ver. 11. Right, or south, leading to the palace, (M.) whence the greatest danger was feared. C. --- Altar of holocausts, that it might not impede the sight of the king. M.
Ver. 12. The testimony. The book of the law. Ch. --- So Job (xxxi. 35, 36.) wished to have the sentence pronounced by God as a crown upon his head. The Orientals still lift to their heads the letters which they have received from people whom they wish to honour. Thevenot, 46. --- Some think that the diadem was adorned with phylacteries, or scrolls, containing parts of the law, (Grot.) particularly what related to the king; (H.) or that Joas held in his hand a roll of vellum, containing those instructions, (Deut. xvii. 18. 2 Par. xxiii. 11.) instead of a sceptre. --- Anointed him, by the hands of Joiada; as this ceremony was requisite on account of the usurpation of Athalia. In peaceable times the unction was not given, (C.) according to the Jews, (H.) whose sentiment is elsewhere shewn to be unsatisfactory. C.
Ver. 13. Going in. She must have been attended by a strong guard, to force the passage through the Levites at the door. H.
Ver. 14. A tribunal. A tribune, or place elevated above the rest. Ch. --- Heb. "on a pillar." Solomon had stood upon one of brass, three cubits high and five broad. See C. xxiii. 3. and 2 Par. vi. 13.
Ver. 15. Precinct. Heb. sederoth, (untranslated by the Sept. and (H.) improperly supposed by Josephus to be the torrent Cedron) means, "the ranks" of the guards, (C.) or, "ranges" of the sacred buildings, which her impure blood must not defile. H. --- Follow her, as an accomplice. M.
Ver. 16. Thrust. Heb. "and she went by the way by which the horses enter the king's house. When she was come within the horse-gate of the palace, they killed her there." 2 Par. xxiii. 15. Such was the ignominious end of this true daughter of Jezabel! H.
Ver. 17. People. Joiada, as mediator (C.) between God, the king, and the people, engaged the two latter to be faithful to their common Lord, and to each other. They promised mutually to observe the laws, and, on that condition, the high priest gave them an assurance that God would protect them. H. --- The covenant entered into by their fathers (Ex. xix. 5.) was renewed. C.
Ver. 18. Altar. Many of the sacred ornaments belonging to the temple had been transported to the house of Baal, probably on Mount Olivet, where Solomon had formerly erected such buildings. 3 K. xi. 5. 2 Par. xxiv. 7. The reform of the state justly, therefore, began with the destruction of this profane and sacrilegious place. --- Lord, according to the former regulations, which had been lately ill observed, to prevent any thing unclean from coming in. 2 Par. xxiii. 19. C. --- Sept. "the priest placed overseers (episkoponV) in the house of the Lord. H.
Ver. 19. Phelethi. In the Heb. of the books of Kings we read nothing of these bands after the reign of David. The same expressions occur here as v. 4. "the centurions, the rams, (or captains) and the runners," (C.) or guards. Prot. H. --- Gate, on the west. Athalia had probably entered by the south. --- Kings. It was made of ivory, &c. 3 K. x. 18. C.
