The History Department offers an M.A. and a Ph.D. in all periods of Jewish history from antiquity to the present. We are fortunate to have faculty who cover ancient, medieval/early modern, and modern Jewish History. Faculty in many fields of general history are interested in the experience of the Jews, and they provide invaluable resources to students who focus on Jewish history. In addition, other Meyerhoff Center for Jewish Studies faculty also frequently participate in the education of graduate students in Jewish history.
Graduate students chose a time period within Jewish history as their primary focus. At the Ph.D. level, students do a "general field" either in ancient and medieval Jewish history or in late medieval/early modern and modern Jewish history. For their "special field," students can pick a geographic, chronological, or thematic field within their general field. For example, a student in medieval/early modern and modern Jewish history might chose American Jewish history, East European Jewish history, or Jews in early modern Europe as a special field, while a student in ancient and medieval Jewish history might chose Jews in the Roman Diaspora as a special field. Students have much flexibility in choosing a special field. All Ph.D. students must choose a minor field as well, generally a field within general history that corresponds to the student's special field. Thus a student interested in American Jewish history would chose American history as a minor field and a student interested in ancient Jewish history would study ancient Mediterranean history as a minor field. The minor field is typically satisfied by taking three graduate courses, although students may elect to take a minor field examination.
For MA: No language requirement, but students interested in the Ph.D. should work on Hebrew and other necessary languages in their fields.
For Ph.D.: For admission, advanced intermediate level proficiency in modern Hebrew. All Ph.D. students must demonstrate proficiency in modern Hebrew and one other language necessary for their fields. The advisor may require other languages as necessary.
Students satisfy the language requirements by taking departmental language exams. See section on language exams in the Doctoral Program section of the Graduate Tab on this website.

Q: Java - Finding a the row and column in a 2d array based on where another value is Here's the question explicitly:
I want to get the coordinate of the mouse and put that in a variable that I can plug into the equation shown in the code below [method movePosition()]. Is this possible or do I have to figure out a different approach?
The question is won't make sense without context, so here's a description:
A mouse has 8 possible moves to make in a maze, which work wherever it is. A random number is picked to represent the move the mouse has to take. In my head it looks like this, the "-" being the mouse itself:
1 2 3
4 - 5
6 7 8

If the mouse is at move #F, for example, how would I get it to move to position 8 (move #G from the example below)
A B 0 F 0 0 0 0
0 0 C E G J K L
0 0 D H I 0 M N

I was thinking to make a switch statement with each "coordinate" matching to a number from 1-8 which would look like so:
public int movePosition()
{
    int moveToPosition = movePicker();

    switch (moveToPosition)
    {
        case 1:
            this.getMaze()[row - 1][column - 1] = mouse;
            break;
        case 2:
            this.getMaze()[row - 1][column] = mouse;
            break;
        case 3:
            this.getMaze()[row - 1][column + 1] = mouse;
            break;
        //and so on...
    }

But I realized that wouldn't work for obvious reasons. (row and column are the user defined row and column)
Is there a way I could follow this same logic wherever the mouse is? I want to get the coordinate of the mouse and put that in a variable that I can plug into the equation above. Or do I have to figure out a different approach?
This is what I found similar to what I want (click here) and other questions are sort of like that too. However they all are asking how to find the coordinates from the size of the array. I need to know how to find the coordinate from the position of the mouse which could be anywhere.
Some Background:
This is homework. I have looked at other questions and although some are related to what I'm looking for, they don't have what I need.
I have a mouse that's thrown in a user defined maze. This means that I, the programmer, don't know what the size of the maze is. After the user defines the size of the maze, it gets set up with 0's. For example's sake, let's do a 3 x 8 maze.
The maze then looks like this (but user can't see this part):
array[3][8]:
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

By the end of the program, the mouse would have crossed to the end leaving behind a number indicated to the move it made. A for the first move, B for the second, C for the third, etc. this is just an example the actual code has numbers not letters. I just need to differentiate for clarity
The output would look as so (user sees this):
A B 0 F 0 0 0 0
0 0 C E G J K L
0 0 D H I 0 M N

Thanks!

A: This is how I would structure the methods, although there's plenty of other ways to do it:
private int mouseCol;
private int mouseRow;

int[][] maze;

private final String LEFT       = "left";
private final String LEFT_UP    = "left_up";
private final String LEFT_DOWN  = "left_down";
//Etc

public String getRandomMove(){
    List<String> moves = getValidMoves();
    //pick a random one
}

public List<String> getValidMoves(){
    List<String> validMoves = new ArrayList<>();
    //Check left
    if(mouseCol != 0 && maze[mouseRow][mouseCol-1] == 0){
        validMoves.add(LEFT);
    }
    //Check left_up
    if(mouseRow != 0 && mouseCol != 0 && maze[mouseRow-1][mouseCol-1] == 0){
        validMoves.add(LEFT_UP);
    }
    //Etc
}

Area retailers bolster region's economy
A steady flow of sales and a relatively strong Christmas shopping season for many Shelby County retailers has helped propel the Birmingham metro area into the economic "recovery" category.
The region, which includes Shelby County, was one of 20 metropolitan areas in the country to enter the recovery category in October, according to data released by Msnbc.com and Moody's Economy.com.
As of October, the Birmingham, Huntsville and Mobile metropolitan areas were the only Alabama regions in the recovery category. However, Alabama cities surrounding Columbus, Ga., were also on the list.
Shelby County business owners were among a rare group included in the economic recovery category, as metropolitan areas surrounding large American cities typically were considered "in recession," according to the Moody's list.
"In December, business was pretty fair," said Roy Mitchell, manager of the Bed and Futon Gallery off U.S. 31 in Alabaster, as he noted business increased leading up to the Christmas shopping season.
"It picked up a little bit for the holidays," Mitchell added.
Across town in Alabaster's Colonial Promenade Shopping Center, Full Moon Barbecue Manager Will Cholewilski also reported a steady customer flow throughout the holiday season.
"It was all right, I'd say," Cholewilski said. "It may have been a little bit slower than last year, but I would just attribute that to the number of restaurants that have opened up in the area over the past year."
Fellow restaurant owner Cindy Thornton, of the White House restaurant in Saginaw, had a similar Christmas season report.
"December was fine. We stayed pretty steady," said Thornton.
Retailers in Alabaster's northern neighbor had similar reports.
"Well, we can't complain," Darrel Holcombe, manager and owner of the Amen Corner off U.S. 31 in Pelham, said of business leading up to the Christmas season.
"Christmas is always the busiest time of the year for us," Holcombe added. "I haven't looked at our final numbers yet, but it seemed like it was about the same as last year."
Sean Merritt, manager of the Cracker Barrel restaurant off Alabama 119 in Pelham, also reported a "normal" Christmas season crowd.
"It was about normal during December," Merritt added. "I'd say it was about dead on with the kind of business we saw this time last year. There really wasn't a huge increase or decrease."

Review: 'Friends With Kids'
Adam Scott and Jennifer Westfeldt in 'Friends With Kids' (Lionsgate / Roadside Attractions)
In her directorial debut, Jennifer Westfeldt revisits familiar terrain with new characters leading the way. Though Adam Scott is terrific as her potential romantic partner, the trip is disappointing, lacking the fresh insight that Westfeldt brought to her previous efforts as writer and star.
Westfeldt broke out with 'Kissing Jessica Stein' (2001), which she wrote with Heather Juergensen, based on characters they created for the stage, two women who become friends and then start moving toward a sexual relationship. The comedy was sharp, the drama was effective, and significant issues were addressed in a realistic manner.
Five years later, Westfeldt went "solo," so to speak, with 'Ira & Abby,' set in a "charming, alternative romantic-comedy universe," as I described it, "a world in which a warm, friendly butterfly of a woman can disarm an angry subway robber and talk the passengers into taking up a collection for the thief." Her character proposes marriage to an extremely neurotic man after six hours of intense conversation; the balance of the film tracks the course of their relationship, a classic tale of "opposites attract" that director Robert Cary kept moving at a brisk pace. Even so, by the third act the material felt stretched beyond its limits and the film began to sag, a structural issue shared by 'Kissing Jessica Stein.' In both cases, the goodwill built up through the earlier stages was sufficient to carry the stories through to their conclusion.
The goodwill and momentum is missing from 'Friends With Kids,' which follows a similar pattern by starting with bright, comedic patter before descending into more straightforward domestic drama. Westfeldt plays Julie, who lives in the same building as her longtime best friend Jason (Adam Scott). They've been friends so long that they feel entirely comfortable sitting in bed with anonymous lovers asleep at their sides, calling each other in the middle of the night to joke and make plans to get together.
They are good friends with two couples, the newly-together Ben (Jon Hamm) and Missy (Kristen Wiig), who are in the 'incredibly horny' phase of their relationship, and the newly-pregnant Alex (Chris O'Dowd) and Leslie (Maya Rudolph), who are resolved not to act like all other parents.
Four years pass. Jason and Julie are still single, while their friends are now, well, friends with kids. Well into their 30s, Jason and Julie question whether they'll ever find that 'special someone,' and Julie is conscious that her biological clock is running out. An off-hand comment by Jason leads to their decision to have a baby, and then raise the child, together, even though both deny any physical or sexual attraction to the other.
Once they become parents and begin spending even more time together, their feelings ebb and flow, as does their relationship with their friends. Naturally, their friends are also changing as the years pass, their respective relationships becoming either stronger or weaker.
The set-up is achingly familiar, and though the opening sequences are packed with one-liners, the observations merely echo what single people have noted about their "friends with kids" for the past two or three decades. Without a new angle, the material feels stale, and the stodgy pacing lingers too long over situations that don't merit a closer look.
Scott very nearly saves the film single-handedly, milking the humor (and the pathos, when appropriate) out of every line reading and reaction shot, deftly adjusting his performance to match the setting and the other characters. Westfeldt is not his equal as an actor, which throws the balance off a bit, but not so seriously as to be overly distracting.
The supporting performances by Hamm, Wiig, Rudolph, and O'Dowd are fine, as are turns by Megan Fox and Edward Burns, who play thinly-disguised versions of their public personas in their roles as new lovers for Jason and Julie, respectively.
Disappointing in large part due to the high standard established by Westfeldt in her previous films, 'Friends With Kids' could strike a chord with people of a certain age, who may find meditative food for thought. It's not a bad movie, by any means, and Adam Scott alone makes it worth seeing out.
'Friends With Kids' opens in Dallas today at Landmark Magnolia.

Getting up in the morning is sometimes a challenge for me. I'm used to wake up so late and missed my breakfast. But now I have two babies, my whole life has changed. Today, I woke up with a smile on my face. I got my kids fed, I have my fruit shakes for my breakfast made. And now, I'm getting ready to go get the trash barrel outside the gate. And maybe later, i'll go down town to get some extension cord so that I can hook up my computer and printer. Oh crap, I gotta go, I feel something tingly... I think I need to run to the bathroom. Until next time folks!


More than knowing the tips on how to fix basic issues at home, another important thing to invest on is the set of tools. Check first what tools you have at home, then scan through the list below of what are the tools you still need. Get only what is usable based on what your home is made up of because devices are not meant to be stuck.
Similar to how we treat the First Aid Kit, the toolbox is also one of the basic kits we need to have at home. In case of less serious home issues that have to be repaired immediately, you may rely on your toolbox to assist you in fixing it.
As mentioned in the earlier blog post, the cost of home repair and improvement can be down to zero if and only if you have kept a good toolbox with you at home, which will then be your pseudo repairman. Below are the eight most used tools that you may consider to buy and keep your home.
Hammer is one of most common tools that can be easily acquired. Almost all hardware stores in all areas around the world will never run out of stocks of hammers. There are many types of a hammer, and so you have to identify first your purpose of getting it. For purposes of home repair and improvement, the best type is the claw hammer. Clawhammer is the generic hammer with multiple uses. It has a steelhead which makes it usable for both metal and wood products. Though claw hammers are mostly associated with woodworking, this can also be used in driving nails in furniture or any stuff made up of aluminum, steel, and hard plastics. If you would want to collect hammers, there are claw hammers specially made of wood, steel, fiberglass, and graphite.
Hammers and nail sets are cheap regarding its cost. Some hardware stores sell nails in kilos, but some have packed nails in 250 grams. Before getting many nails, make sure to know which materials are you joining together and so the personnel in the hardware store can help you identify which nail will you be needing.
Pliers, cutters, and scissors are three different tools with almost similar function: that is to cut and twist. Scissors can be used in cutting plastic materials, paper, hard carton, wires, and adhesives, and cutters are used to those materials that are thicker than the earlier mentioned. On the other hand, pliers come in different types, shape, and sizes and so you would have to identify first its purpose before getting one from the store.
Locking pliers are also known as vice-grip pliers. This is useful for removing stuck and broken screws in any place around your home, and can also help in case you need to loosen up some nuts. In the case of adjustable locking pliers, this can also be used as clamps since it has adjustable arms. Locking pliers are made up of strong materials, and so it is important to be very careful in using it to avoid further damage and disturbance.
Combination pliers are less tough than the locking pliers. Also termed as the Lineman's pliers, the main purpose of this tool is to grip, compress, bend and pull materials that are thin but hard like nails. There are also certain combination pliers that can be used as wire cutters. This type is called side cutter which is useful for cutting soft wires and other flat materials.
Like hammers and nail sets, the screwdriver also has a lot of varieties specifically made for different purposes. Some of the common types of screwdrivers are 1) the slotted screwdriver, 2) the flatted and parallel slotted screwdriver, and 3) Phillips and Pozidriv Screwdrivers. The most used, most common, and most known types of screwdrivers are only two: the cross and the flat-headed screwdrivers. Depending on the screw, these two screwdrivers can be a perfect rescue for loose glues.
Also known as an adjustable spanner or adjustable crescent, the purpose of an adjustable wrench is to ensure that all nuts and bolts are tightly locked. Adjustable wrenches are universal because this can be used in any size and type of bolt or nut. Though it is mainly used in repairing bicycles and car parts, the adjustable wrench can also be used for home repair such as in tightening, loosening, or replacing nuts in the door, cabinets or storage bins, fixing furniture joints and in plumbing.
Utility knife, other than the kitchen knives, is a legitimate multipurpose tool.
According to the Legacy blog this tool can be used to cut your drywall, roof shingles, fiberglass made stuff at home, and even though your vinyl flooring.
Another purpose of utility knife is to cut carpet, foam boards, cables and even wires when it has to be shortened. Indeed, the utility knife is one of the things that you should always put somewhere in the heart of your home. That is because it has used in all corners of your crib.
Flashlight and batteries are not so much for repair and improvement, but a tool used to be able to solve emergency situations even in the dark or in small areas with not much light. Flashlight and batteries can be considered as support to the rest of the tools in the list. If you are getting some power tool sets like drill sets, for example, you may also have to double check if a flashlight is included. Some of the hardware stores have included the flashlight in toolsets since this has been a necessity.
According to the website of Popular Mechanics this tool can be used to cut your drywall, roof shingles, fiberglass made stuff at home, and even though your vinyl flooring. Another purpose of utility knife is to cut carpet, foam boards, cables and even wires when it has to be shortened. Indeed, the utility knife is one of the things that you should always put somewhere in the heart of your home. That is because it has used in all corners of your crib.

If you manage a store, supermarket or any other type of self-service establishment, below we will show you some ideas and merchandising techniques to optimize the sales area, increase the customer's time in the establishment, create a pleasant business climate and increase product turnover .
Access to the establishment: The entrance to the establishment is a point of transition between the outside world and your business that can be a decisive element when accessing it. Therefore, it is very important to present a great accessibility (avoid an excessive number of steps, remove obstacles, attractive design that invites entry, etc.). The most appropriate thing is to use transparent doors that are easy to open or automatic.
Outside windows: In food establishments, the importance of this type of space is relegated to the background, so it may be interesting to use it to show offers and promotions of different kinds that, together with access, attract potential customers.
Label of the establishment: The identification of trade is a fundamental element that is often undervalued. We must pay special attention to its placement, so that it presents a great visibility even at long distances, its appearance (shape, color, use of lights, digital signs, etc.), its content (brief and concise and that of idea of the business to which it refers), etc.You can get the best of reputable signage company in Singapore with the best experts.
One of the best ways to look out for an affordable SEO service is browsing the internet by typing in the correct keywords. Normally the small companies do not appear on the first pages of the search engine. However, they can offer you excellent results.

With innovative and original content, your website stands out in the clutter and makes way to the top rankings of the search engine. The web crawlers identify them in lieu to being unique and not replicated from other sources. Using keywords which are relevant to your service and products is a great way to make your content unique. However, always ensure that it is point specific and not generic. For example, if your website sells jewelry online in Ohio, then have a keyword as "buy jewelry online Ohio" instead of just "watches". This brings out the uniqueness in your keywords and can be easily recognized by the web bots. The ideal usage of these keywords should be around 3 – 5 %, however, ensure that the keywords and keyword phrases are placed strategically and not to fill in the spaces.
One of the easiest ways to rank high is to use labeled content. As in, use your keyword in the title, headlines, sub heading, first paragraph and last paragraph. This makes way to catching the viewer's as well as the web indexer's eye. Also, try to phrase the titles in a unique manner.
There are a few things to consider when undertaking this job. Keeping track of back links, knowing which sites link back, anchoring back link text and also keywords are some of the ways to do this. The Domain stats tool helps web managers to keep track of back links.

Is a Grandfather-In-Law Unmarriageable (Mahram) for a Woman?

Rulings pertaining to sisters
Mufti Abu Muhammad Ali Asghar Attari Madani
Question: What do the honourable scholars say regarding the following: Just as a woman's father-in-law falls under the category of unmarriageable kin for her, are her paternal and maternal grandfathers-in-law, meaning, her husband's paternal and maternal grandfathers, also unmarriageable kin for her?
بِسْمِ اللّٰہِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ
اَلْجَوَابُ بِعَوْنِ الْمَلِکِ الْوَھَّابِ اَللّٰھُمَّ ھِدَایَۃ الْحَقِّ وَالصَّوَابِ
All forefathers of the man that a woman marries, i.e. father, paternal grandfather, maternal grandfather, etc., become unmarriageable kin for her. Therefore, her paternal and maternal grandfathers-in-law—in other words, her husband's paternal grandfather and maternal grandfather—become unmarriageable kin for her.
In referring to women who are unmarriageable kin, Allah Almighty states:
وَ حَلَآىٕلُ اَبْنَآىٕكُمُ الَّذِیْنَ مِنْ اَصْلَابِكُمْۙ-
And (forbidden are) the wives of your own sons
[Kanz-ul-Iman (translation of Quran)] (Part 4, Surah Al-Nisa, verse 23)
Extrapolating from this verse, Allamah Kaasaani رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْـه states: حلیلة الابن من الصلب وابن الابن وابن البنت وان سفل Translation: 'The wives of sons, paternal and maternal grandsons, all the way down, are also unmarriageable kin.' (Badai'i Al-Sanai', Vol. 3, p. 419) In the exegesis of this verse in Tafseer Na'eemi, it is stated: ابناء refers to the entire offspring: son, paternal grandson, maternal grandson, etc.' (Tafseer Na'eemi, Vol. 4, p. 577)
Elaborating on the matter of unmarriageable kin, Faqih Abu al-Layth al-Samarqandi رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْـه states:
وحلیلة ابن الابن وابن البنت وان سفلن لقوله تعالی وَ حَلَآىٕلُ اَبْنَآىٕكُمُ الَّذِیْنَ مِنْ اَصْلَابِكُمْۙ-
Translation: 'It is not permissible to marry the wives of one's paternal or maternal grandsons, on the basis of the saying of Allah Almighty: And (forbidden are) the wives of your own sons.' (Khizanah Al-Fiqh, p. 103)
The Imam of Ahl al-Sunnah, Imam Ahmad Raza Khan رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْـه was asked, 'The women of which relatives is one allowed to marry? And with whom is marriage impermissible?' In response to this question, the Imam of Ahl al-Sunnah رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْـه said, 'It is Haram to marry the wives of those relatives whose offspring he is, such as his father, paternal grandfather or maternal grandfather. [Similarly,] marrying the wives of those relatives who are his offspring is [also] unlawful, such as his son, paternal grandson or maternal grandson.' (Fatawa Razawiyyah, Vol. 11, p. 467) In the discussion regarding women who are unmarriageable kin, it is stated in Bahar-e-Shari'at, 'The wives of [one's] son, paternal grandson and all the way down (furū').' (Bahar-e-Shari'at, vol. 2, p. 22)

Low Engagements – When you inspect a page – you want to start at the followers total and then look at the account's last 9 post. If the account has 10,000 followers, you would expect 3-20% likes to followers ratio (engagement rate) to safely assume that the account is not filled with fake followers or bots. If you notice the account only averaging 50 likes per post, simply move on to the next Instagram account you want to buy.
Comments – comments are a real giveaway if the account is buying their engagements through fake followers and systems. Look for real comments on the post actually talk about the post- if the comments are suspicious and talking about other topics beware of buying the Instagram Account.
Account creation/1st Post – How long do you think a random person to create an account with 100,00 followers? You should safely assume more than a few months but if you can check the first post to be last week – you would want to check with the buyer why would that be. If you're working with a marketing agency then it's more understandable since they have the resources to buy traffic and advertisement for the account.
These are 3 tips you can use to inspect an Instagram Account when you are trying to buy an account. We will put a few more tips over the next few weeks!


Centre College's celebrated faculty are life-long learners, just like their students, and their commitment to having important conversations in and out of the classroom continues even during the summer. For the ninth year, Van Winkle Professor of Sociology Beau Weston is continuing this tradition by hosting his much-loved Theory Camp.
Professor of Sociology Beau Weston leads his annual Theory Camp at The Hub.
The intensive two-week session of analyzing and discussing scholarly texts grew out of a collaboration between Weston and Mark Mallman '07, who spent the summer of 2006 tackling Pierre Bourdieu's Distinction: The Social Critique of the Judgment of Taste. Weston, who describes himself as a collaborative thinker, decided that having a group of people reading and discussing the text together would make such an endeavor more enlightening and satisfying. It also aids the student participants, who are able to hone valuable academic skills.
Each year, Weston uses his summer research funding to host five or six Centre students to read and discuss a particular piece that he is interested in working on or teaching. Every day of the camp he assigns a section of text, and the next morning students arrive filled with questions and commentary.
The students all agreed that including participants from different majors and backgrounds is a wonderful aspect of the camp. Weston chooses a few students himself but also reaches out to colleagues for suggestions, hoping to integrate a variety of viewpoints for a richer discussion.
The group meets from 9-11 a.m. at The Hub, Danville's local coffee shop. The informal and social location is the perfect place to discuss sociological texts, including this year's books Generations: The History of America's Future, 1584-2069 and The Fourth Turning, both by William Strauss & Neil Howe.
Clara Gaddie '16 reads The Fourth Turning.
The coffeehouse, as a "third place" between home and work, seems to be intrinsically designed for such conversations. On a drizzly August morning, the students sat down with coffee—generously provided by Weston—at a corner table to talk about the perspectives of different generations on social issues, family dynamics, the influence of the Cold War and millennials.
"The theory in Generations is unlike anything I've ever taught," Weston explained, so having ideas to bounce around with students over the summer is extremely helpful.
The conversation is fascinating; locals have been known to eavesdrop and Centre College President John A. Roush has even dropped by for a visit.
Each member of the group—including Weston—will complete short papers on a topic they touched on during the camp. The subjects range from immigration to fashion to music, and the camp will conclude with a discussion of the essays.
"Our discussions never get boring!" she said.

Secondary Year 7
Welcome to Year 7
Students joining Year 7 will begin an exciting journey into young adulthood and will experience a range of challenges and develop new skills along the way. The secondary school experience should allow students to develop the skills they will need in life, such as being inquisitive, having determination, empathy and resilience. The students will take some of this journey independently but will always be guided and supported by the staff at Abbs Cross Academy.
Abbs Cross Academy will ensure that students are provided with a happy and safe environment where they are able to develop both their academic and social skills. We believe that a good start in Year 7 will help build a strong foundation for successful learning. Here at Abbs Cross Academy every child matters and this can be seen in the inclusive approach taken towards all areas of school life.
Students at the school will be supported with their learning primarily by their form tutor who is the first point of contact and with whom rests the responsibility to build a comprehensive view of their tutees learning. As Achievement Team Leader for Year 7 I will be in charge of the learning and achievement of every student in the year group. Ms Branton is the Year 7 Care Team and is responsible for the students' well-being. Furthermore, she will monitor behaviour and help students and parents with any concerns they have. We also work very closely with the SEN department to ensure that all students are supported in every aspect of their school life.
To help the students on their journey clear guidelines are put in place which will allow the pupils to grow in the most positive way and allow them to achieve the best they can both academically and personally. Students will receive academic supported as and when it is needed, and targets for improvement will be highlighted to help students raise their attainment. Students will receive homework to ensure that they have every opportunity of matching their potential with their achievements. As part of a shared responsibility towards the development of all students, we ask that parents also monitor the completion of homework, check the homework diary often, signing it each and every week.
We believe that communication between parents and the school plays a large part in developing young people so key information will be displayed on the Abbs Cross Academy website. If there are any queries or concerns about your child's progress, please feel free to contact your child's form tutor, Mr Scaysbook or Mrs Branton.

Tadeusz Kantor: Inbetween Structures
As two exhibitions celebrate the centenary of the birth of Polish artist and theatre director Tadeusz Kantor, Richard Demarco, who first brought him to Britain and has ensured his legacy continues, talks about his work
The Water Hen: Kantor, Demarco and the Edinburgh Festival
Royal Scottish Academy, Edinburgh
25 July – 5 September 2015
Summerhall, Edinburgh
5 August – 4 September 2015
by JANET McKENZIE from conversations with Richard Demarco and Arthur Watson August 2015.
Exhibitions at the Royal Scottish Academy and Summerhall, at this year's Edinburgh Festival, mark the centenary of the birth of Polish artist and theatre director Tadeusz Kantor. Richard Demarco first brought Kantor to Edinburgh almost half a century ago and, with him, the remarkable performance The Water Hen. The new digitalised video of that event enables audiences in 2015 to observe the inspired performance, and while the organisers are keen to point out that nothing can do justice to the event itself, it is a deeply moving experience, nonetheless. It was the Edinburgh Festival, 20 August 1972, and Kantor's first encounter with a predominantly English-speaking audience, and Demarco believed that the moment should be recorded. Visiting the archive and exhibition at Summerhall before seeing the video at the RSA, Demarco explained his intention at the time: "The camera was held next to me, to my right, so that it was the record of one viewer's experience. Being shot from a fixed position, parts of the action were sometimes obscured." The making of the video was limited to one cameraman and one soundman (both unidentified). It was shot on one-inch type A reel-to-reel tape at the first performance. It is the only known complete documentation of The Water Hen and the showing at the RSA this summer is its first. Artists invited by the RSA have created new works in response to Kantor's great work and in doing so have made The Water Hen contemporary in their own ways. As Demarco was keen to point out: "Kantor, like Joseph Beuys, is very much alive in the 21st century."
Meanwhile, the Polish Cultural Institute in London and Polnisches Institut Berlin have brought a new perspective to Kantor's complex oeuvre through the exhibition at Summerhall, curated by Dr Marc Glöde. It concentrates on the early phase of Kantor's career, with particular focus on his work in the period from 1954-65.
The exhibition includes the long lost film Attention … Painting!, which won the experimental film prize at the 1958 Venice Film Festival, and explores the relationship between painting and moving-image. A superb key work, it is shown alongside Kantor's drawings, gouaches, paintings, collages, manifestos and photographs. The emphasis here is the fluid approach Kantor evolved in his practice that transcends the art historical convention of viewing an artist's career according to separate artistic mediums. The most important aspect of the Kantor work on show is from the artist's 1963 Popular Exhibition that took place at the Krzysztofory Gallery, Kraków, where he defines in text what art could, in his view, encompass. "A List of 937 Exhibits" includes "sketches, drawings, projects, plans, ideas, definitions, analyses, manifestos, albums, instructions, recipes, records landscapes, battles, metaphors, metamorphoses, wrecks, destructions, obsessions, panoramas, letters, documents, commentaries, assemblages, collages etc". A work of art, Kantor asserted, in as fine an account of the intentions of avant garde artists in the second half of the 20th-century as one can find, is NOT "an isolated panelled piece, brought to a deadlock and closed up in a structure and within a system, unable to change or survive", for that constitutes a mere illusion of creation. What is essential for creation, for genuine creativity is, "fluidity, change, frailty, transitoriness, like life itself".
For Kantor, art must also embrace "records of urgent problems, of ideas, of discoveries, plans, projects, schemes, scripts and scores". The exhibition debuts at Summerhall and will then travel to Germany to the Polnisches Institut Berlin for Berlin Art Week. It is a reminder of the values in the 60s and 70s that infused great vision and energy into art, under the large umbrella of conceptual art, but which in many instances have been imitated beyond recognition and constitute what Demarco says is "nothing more than a false avant garde".
It is quite valid to claim that the genius of Kantor's work has been overlooked by the art world as a whole, yet with each piece in this exhibition, and backed up by the overwhelmingly impressive Demarco Archive – of which I was given a guided tour by Demarco himself – Kantor's originality and his oeuvre is consistently proved to be of great importance.
The Demarco archive is so vast, so far-reaching in its value to the European avant garde and its impact on Scottish and British culture that it continues to perplex arts administrators and museum staff. A safe place for it has still not been secured. Demarco recently turned 85 and yet he lectures with certainty and immediate recall on all the details of the multifarious activities, exhibitions and arts events since he first visited Poland in 1968; he has since made more than 90 trips to eastern Europe. His great visionary colleagues included Kantor, Beuys and Paul Neagu, giants of 20th-century European art. An original component of the Demarco Archive is the "event photograph". More than 300,000 photographs taken by Demarco constitute an exceptional documentation of the ephemeral nature of the art and theatre events he commissioned, and directed over a 60-year period based in Edinburgh.
What Kantor created during the Gestapo's occupation of Kraków in a cellar beneath a cellar continues to stand out from the art and theatre of the modern world. He created his theatre pieces, which rose above the constraints of language, to express personal experiences marked by war, the tragedy of the Holocaust, totalitarian regimes, the Nazi occupation and Stalinism. He described his highly expressive theatre pieces as "Theatre of Death". They were not ordinary plays, but events that combined art and theatre, that make one creative piece of artwork, a speculative total theatre.
When I spoke to Arthur Watson, President of the Royal Scottish Academy, he pointed out that both exhibitions belong to the project that has been running for more than 10 years, to make material from the Richard Demarco Archives more fully accessible, and to make connections between that material and artists working today. As the exhibition 10 Dialogues, reviewed for Studio International in 2011 revealed, Demarco enabled a phenomenal number of artists to be shown and become known in Scotland from the mid-50s to the present. His insatiable appetite for creative dialogue has barely flagged. The Demarco Gallery was founded in 1966 and soon developed an international stance and a commitment to emerging developments in sculpture, installation, film and video, site-specific work, performance and theatre. Close collaborations with Beuys and other Düsseldorf artists fuelled interest and dialogue with the avant gardes of Poland, Romania and (the then) Yugoslavia. Demarco had worked tirelessly to overcome the cultural ramifications of the political divide, through artistic connection and exchange; his indefatigable approach continues to this day.
Before electing Demarco as an Honorary Academician in 2000, the Royal Scottish Academy (RSA) had forged its own links with Poland. In 1941, the Annual Exhibition dedicated a room to the work of Polish soldiers serving with the Allied forces in Scotland. Then in subsequent years (1942-44), a room was dedicated to the art of allied servicemen, including Poles. A cultural dialogue was set to exist; however, the cold war made such discourse impossible. In the 1960s, both the RSA, on an official level, and Demarco, through a rich programme of events, publications, productions, were responsible for very many contacts made, exhibitions curated in Scotland and Poland, lives changed and life-long friendships established.
RSA 181st Annual Exhibition
The Royal Scottish Academy (RSA) in Edinburgh has got in before the Royal Academy in London with its summer show. The RSA 2007 exhibition powerfully develops the 'Highlands and Islands' theme in contemporary art and sits well within global aspirations and directions.
Pallant House Gallery, Chichester
Pallant House Gallery, which opened on 1 July 2006 in the centre of Chichester, is a dramatic conjunction of old and new - dramatic, that is, internally. From the exterior, as approached from the town, a seamless joining has been achieved by the architects with great dexterity and carefully calculated understatement.
Joseph Beuys 40th anniversary journey
No journey with Richard Demarco would be complete without reference to Joseph Beuys, an artist whose influence on him remains as vital today as his first encounter with Beuys in 1968 at Documenta 4, Kassel, when they did not speak.
10 Dialogues: Richard Demarco, Scotland And The European Avant Garde
10 Dialogues presents the innovative work of Richard Demarco from the late 1960s to the present day, in bringing European artists to Scotland and his promotion of Scottish artists in Europe
The paintings of Gerhard Richter were first exhibited in Britain as part of the official 1970 Edinburgh International Festival's exhibition programme. The exhibition was presented by the Demarco Gallery and the Kunsthalle D

New Zealand bans foreigners from buying property
15 August 2018 15 August 2018 / By admin
Buying a home in New Zealand just got a lot tougher for most people.
The country's parliament on Wednesday passed a law banning foreigners from buying into most parts of its residential property market as the government seeks to cool red-hot house prices.
The Overseas Investment Amendment Bill will prevent overseas investors from purchasing existing properties in New Zealand, but they will still be able to buy into new apartment complexes and certain other parts of the housing market.
New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern campaigned on a promise to clamp down on foreign buyers, blaming them for soaring prices that have left many New Zealanders unable to enter the property market.
"If you've got the right to live in New Zealand permanently, you've got the right to buy here," Trade Minister David Parker said during a final debate on the bill Wednesday. "We believe it's the birthright of New Zealanders to buy homes in New Zealand," he added.
Public policy firm Demographia regularly ranks Auckland, New Zealand's biggest city, as one of the world's least affordable places to buy a home.
House prices have almost doubled over the past decade, according to central bank data, and are up more than 5% so far this year. Home ownership rates among New Zealanders have also been falling in recent years.
But government data suggests that foreign buyers actually only make up a small part of the country's housing market. According to the latest official statistics, purchasers who don't hold New Zealand citizenship or residency make up less than 3% of total transactions.
Buyers of New Zealand property include billionaire investor Peter Thiel.
Most foreign buyers in New Zealand don't state where they're from, official data shows, but the majority of those who do are from China.
New Zealand has also proved to be a popular retreat for the rich and famous. Billionaire investor Peter Thiel and disgraced former NBC host Matt Lauer both own properties in the country.
Related: New Zealand is going to start taxing tourists
Analysts say it's still unclear how much difference the new law will make.
"We simply do not know how it will affect the market," Dominick Stephens, chief economist at the New Zealand division of banking group Westpac, said in a note to clients Wednesday. House prices could stop rising before the end of the year or even begin falling, he predicted.
Nearby Australia has also tried to slow runaway house prices with measures including a similar ban on foreign investors buying existing properties. Prices in the country have been falling since the end of last year.
The new law in New Zealand doesn't apply to Australian and Singaporean buyers because of existing arrangements between the countries. It still needs to receive royal assent, which is a formality, before it comes into force.

Fighting stage 2 Astrocytoma. Surgery scheduled for next month. Praying for it.
hi everyone! my name is rachel and i'm 25 years young living in the USA! january 2015 i went to the hospital for confusion and they discovered something on my brain. i remember being wheeled back for an MRI & it felt like a dream. after being told i could go home, i was informed that i had to stay & be monitored overnight. i was released and referred to a neurosurgeon who performed a biopsy may 2015. it came back grade 2 astrocytoma in my occipital lobe. september 2015 i had the surgery to remove it & he removed 100% of it! i had scans every six months at first and they were great, so they changed it to every nine months. during this, my original neurologist decided to help those in hospice so i have a new neurologist now. my scans have been great (or so i thought) i've been told it's scar tissue for the past two years, but march 1 2019 i had an MRI & was able to see that it is back and i need to have another surgery for it. i have a 2.5 year old son now and i have to find a balance with everything going on. surgery is scheduled for next month and i am praying it didn't progress into the next stage. happy to have you all so i can relate to others!

Lionel Murphy
Lionel Murphy QC (1922-1986), High Court judge and Labor politician, grew up in Sydney, studied science and law at Sydney University, was admitted to the Bar in 1947, and became a QC in 1960. A long-term member of the Labor party, he was elected a senator for NSW in 1961, and was Leader of the Opposition in the Senate from 1967 to 1972. During the Whitlam government he served as Attorney General and Minister for Customs and Excise. In February 1975 he was appointed a Justice of the High Court, a position he retained until his death in 1986. Murphy's most important legislative achievement was the revolutionary Family Law Act 1975, which introduced the principle of no fault divorce and established the Family Court of Australia. He also passed legislation substantially abolishing appeals to the Privy Council; removing censorship; providing freedom of access to government information; reforming corporations and trade practices law; protecting the environment; abolishing the death penalty; and outlawing racial and other discrimination. He established a systematic legal aid service for all courts, set up the Australian Law Reform Commission (of which Michael Kirby was inaugural chairman) and the Australian Institute of Criminology, and took the French Government to the International Court of Justice to protest against its nuclear tests in the Pacific. A supernova remnant, SNR N86, is named The Lionel-Murphy SNR in tribute to his lifelong interest in science.

It's easy for stand-ups, which are supposed to be brief team-sharing ceremonies, to turn into extended meetings. Limit the conversation to simple statements about things the entire team should know — what you did yesterday, what you're doing today, and any blockers or help needed. … Stand-ups are not venues for technical discussions, making decisions, proposing designs, swapping war stories, reorganizing a sprint, or doing anything other than communicating what's necessary for group coordination. … Anything that comes up outside of the mutual status update should be deferred to a huddle or email. A stand-up should take no more than 15 to 30 seconds per team member. 15 signs you're doing agile wrong, Steven A. Lowe, InfoWorld, May 26, 2016.
It was a major faux pas in a meeting with many VPs and C-level managers. I said that it was taking us about one minute to review each defect at our daily status meeting. That, it appears, was unacceptable. Too simple. It implied that we weren't taking enough time to truly hash out the issues on each defect. The fact that we got hundreds of defects reported each week and would finish the product by disposing of defects totaling in the tens of thousands was besides the case.
For more on the desire for complexity see Is Your Project Management On Steroids? Maybe You Should Kick The Habit!
This organization was also not successful at delivering products on time, let alone with good quality. It was never a question of if we would deliver on time but instead it was how late would we be. It was clear to me, based on direct observation and upon past experience, that excessive meetings and meetings that go on forever are almost always an indicator of bad management practices. Most often it is a combination of bad plans (e.g., not realistic, compressed, etc.) combined with a culture of a reluctance to share information (hiding bad news, power and control, etc.).
I had gotten the teams to simply give their defect status by telling everyone if the defect was a new one or not or if they had a root cause for the issue or if they had found and tested a fix yet. Once they gave this information they could move to their next open defect or the next team manager would have the floor to cover their open defects. We would get quick comments such as "we can help with that" or "I can reproduce it" and otherwise we ensured that everyone who needed to know about the defect knew who was working on it. It was quick, simple and effective, but more senior management found it suspiciously unsatisfying as it was done in 60 seconds.
For more details see Meeting Madness, Don't Do It!
Whether 30 years ago in a government waterfall planned project or today in a start-up's daily stand-up, meetings that go on forever are an indication that we have a problem — not ordinarily with the product — but inevitably with how we are managing. If we find ourselves needing more and more meetings then we need to look for the root cause and realize that more meetings are a symptom of deeper issues and are rarely the solution.
Are your meetings helping or hindering your project management?

Home Blog Post Boxing Day
Christmas has passed and 2023 is coming. You can open the presents in boxes that Father Christmas brought you or you can honor boxers (dogs – or sportsmen) as you will.
Things slow down over the holidays and even though I could pack the blog in for a few days, what fun would that be?
There is the PRESENT to consider
And the FUTURE
If Elon Musk is right, SpaceX is poised to become the most successful spaceflight organization ever, public or private — and its competitors, including NASA, are scared shitless.
As Politico reports, the key proposed value of SpaceX's Starship — that it can be reused over and over without spending as much time or money as previous spacecraft have required — is a dynamic that may be posed to permanently alter the status quo, and Politico characterized it as inspiring a "mix of awe and horror" at NASA and its more traditional aerospace contractors.
Back to the PRESENT
Past, present and future land wars of maneuver (h/t Claudio)
"…while offensive breakthrough is still possible under the right conditions, it remains very hard to accomplish against deep, prepared defenses with adequate supplies and operational reserves behind them. This is not a novel feature of new technology — it is an enduring consequence of the post-1900 lethality of ever-evolving weapons that has been observed repeatedly over more than a century of combat experience. Exposed defenders are increasingly vulnerable to long-range weapons and sensors, but covered and concealed positions remain highly resistant to precision engagement. Shallow, forward defenses can be ruptured with well-organized combined arms attacks, but deep defenses with meaningful reserves behind them still pose much harder problems for attackers. Overextended positions without secure supply lines can be overwhelmed, but consolidated positions with viable logistical support are still much harder and more costly to overcome."
The availability of air supremacy can tip the balance. The article doesn't discuss this adequately in my opinion. There is a Part 2 to come. Maybe it will deal with the. 800 lbs gorilla in the corner.
Moon or Mars
Which should mankind focus on? Pros and cons are explored here.
Saint Stephen's is the day when, traditionally, the scraps and leftovers from the Christmas feasting of the day before would be given to the wretched, poor and needy so that they could make merry, and also catch an infectious disease from the goose leg you took one bite out of, before passing out from wassail fumes.
Particularly nice Christians (also known as "saints") like Wenceslaus, would actually get clean food from the larder (also known as "not-previously-owned-food") and carry it to the poor — including wine and flesh and, if the poor people were REALLY hungry, pine logs.
The traditional celebration for the Feast of St Stephen is to share your bounty with the poor, such as by giving them Christmas presents you don't really want. Also, the day is set aside for horse parades and races, and as a feast for Deacons of the Church. It is a day for the blessing of oats and hay.
* From The Bee: U.S. — As a part of the $50 billion aid package being sent to Ukraine, Congress has also offered to throw in one $5 billion wall that's just lying around at the southern border not being used.
"We have this wall that we're not using, I dunno, do you guys in Ukraine want it?" asked Senator Mitch McConnell during Zelensky's D.C. trip. "It's a pretty good wall. A little rusty, maybe, but it should help you secure your borders, which are the most important borders on earth.
* Clear-Headed or Conspiratorial – The FBI's internal crackdown.
Judicial Watch has filed a lawsuit against FBI Director Christopher Wray on behalf of FBI analyst Marcus Allen for the alleged violation of Allen's constitutional rights.
According to the lawsuit, the FBI falsely accused Allen of holding "conspiratorial views," stripped his security clearance, and suspended him from duty without pay.
In reality, Judicial Watch contends, the FBI revoked Allen's security clearance because his views are contrary to the FBI's political narratives regarding the January 6 pro-Trump rally and Capitol occupation.

I'm looking forward to part 2.
Musk has changed things that's for sure, the folks doing it the old way ought to be working on changing or getting their owned politicians on stopping Musk.
The Moon or Mars? It ought to be 'and'. The moon is closer and a simpler place to start & learn but Mars is just sitting there..
Ed Bonderenka December 26, 2022 At 6:51 am
How about we "Terraform" Earth.
Make currently uninhabitable areas more amenable to humans.
I'm thinking Chicago, NYC, the Gobi desert.
Paul M December 26, 2022 At 8:20 am
I'm with you Ed, forget Mars or the Moon, stick to The Mothership Earth. Funny how that happens, grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. Gee, maybe work on this side first.
Rob December 26, 2022 At 4:32 pm
We need to get off the earth, lot's out there to explore. Once the hard part is done, (Nasa started it, Musk is developing it) space ought to be like (sorta) a sailing ship way back when. Not easy or cheap but doable for those that want to do it.

Cato the Uncensored December 26, 2022 At 9:01 pm
Earth is just an asteroid away from being uninhabitable, an NASA have been surprised too many times in recent years by near encounters with sizable objects that might not be planet killers but could still wreak havoc for humanity. Best to start spreading out if we as a species wish to survive.
MSG Grumpy December 26, 2022 At 6:58 am
My personal opinion is to agree with Rob, kinda sorta…
We as a nation have Not had the will to build on the successes of 50 years ago.
The permanent settlement and industries established on the Moon should be our highest priority to accomplish stepping out further without any more five decade pauses between advancement.
May Everyone have a Blessed New Year,

I have another browser tab open with that Terraforming the Moon article, and I'll go read that later, but for now… I always thought that the problem with Mars is like the school bus to a 6 year old: watch that first step – it's the biggest and hardest one.
With our current rocket technology of launch and coast, we have to launch every two years at opposition, and then the crew is in a state of continuous physical deterioration until they reach Mars six months later. The moon can be as close three days – as Apollo demonstrated. If you have to come back it's three days for the moon and probably a year coming back from Mars.
Early Mars settlers have to be pretty sure they're going to die somewhere on the trip. I don't see that stopping anyone that would sign up.
There are potential technologies that can make the trip to Mars much faster but none that I know are production ready.
To me, "terraform the moon" is an oxymoron because I always thought the prerequisite was an atmosphere. Other words like "colonize" or "industrialize" or "settle" make more sense, but I should read the article.
Mike_C December 26, 2022 At 11:18 am
To me, "terraform the moon" is an oxymoron because I always thought the prerequisite was an atmosphere.
If you read the article, it basically said you and I were right. It's not terraforming, it's colonizing. Build habitats, bring some soil bacteria from Earth to help build up topsoil on the moon. There won't be "amber waves of grain" on the moon without massive amounts of infrastructure.
LindaG December 26, 2022 At 8:46 am
Lots of good reading, as always. You all be safe and God bless.
Musk- Proving once again that personal drive is the preferred method of achievement, certainly when compared to government agency bloat with massive "thin air derived" budgets, coupled to a [current] lackadaisical bureaucratic atmosphere that does not foster innovation but compliance. Except for military and prior NASA technology advancement (Tang…heh), private entrepreneurial approaches are vastly more efficient in producing results because THEY HAVE TO…and it always starts with the head honcho.
Mass shooters- Yet if he's not even a Trump supporter they will say he is to extend the lie. Black on Black shootings are the highest (last I checked), black on white shootings next in line. White on black police shootings, average about 15 per year, not the Dem's/Left's lie of thousands. Plus every one of them was committing a crime or resisting arrest, usually due to an outstanding warrant. But we are to believe they are all Boy Scouts (old version) or Choir Boys.
FBI et al: Part of me (ok, full disclosure – ALL of me) wants a meteor to impact dead-center in DC, it'd clean house and put the fear of God in every grifter and cheat living in the LZ. Plenty of contractors could rebuild the place in less than a year…a timeframe the rest of us could get on with actual living due to not dealing with knuckleheads and idiots who think they are more important than anyone else. Plus, the Dems and most Repub's couldn't blame PDJT or the rest of us Normal's…well, they'd blame God, but He's been there before and can handle the verbal spewage.
My comment about the Slavic Hatfields & McCoys idiocy that is destroying innocent lives…Zelenskyy is a criminal, not the Dem's vaunted savior, but THIS would be Putin:
(can't locate the clip) From "Miracle" – Herb Brooks looks over at the dumbfounded Russian coach at the prospect of losing to a ragtag bunch of American collegiate-level hockey players vs. his professionals:
"He doesn't know what to do!"
Assuming the Dem's COULD get their grubby hands ripped from the Ukraine money laundering scheme and desire to MORE directly involve our Boys in their stupid manufactured fight, The entire mess MIGHT end like this:

21 Do not I hate them, O Lord, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?
22 I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
If it works for David, it works for me….

The Musk saga HAS to be fiction…the only way to accomplish anything requires a vast government bureaucracy with vast government money running a vast government program using vast government oversight. The day of the individual is over – the experts have already told us this, so it MUST be true….end snark.
The moon is a good starter kit, it shouldn't be the end game.

Even if Starship is only a launch and throw away, it's a gamechanger. Reusability and adaptability are what really makes Starship shine, if the FedGov ever let it fly.
As to Terraforming, I agree with Earth First. Seriously, there should be a Desalination plant every 100 miles on every coastline, connected to dedicated nuke plants, desalinating and pumping water inland to farms, factories, families. Want the Colorado River to flow like never before? Quit pumping it away and pump fresh water from the desalting plants.
With plants every 100 miles, or closer, California could water and green all those places that are subject to burning during fire season, and have the slopes stabilized that fail during mud season. Greening Southern California would also 'capture' bazillion tons of carbon, and the green lands would lower the hot temperatures. And piss off all the enviromentalists. What's not to like.
We should have habitats on the Moon. Great place for observatories and for serving as a low-G manufacturing location. Protection from radiation can easily be provided by going down into the crust or covering up with regolith. All things we knew in the 1950's.
Mars? Drop a bunch of water asteroids, I mean A LOT, and between the semi-nuclear explosions and all that vaporized water, you can build an atmosphere. No need to actually nuke the place, just bomb it with water. Another great place for observatories (on Phobos and Deimos) and for lower-G manufacturing.
The KEY to Thriving on/in the Moon, on Mars, or in Space? NUCLEAR POWER. The current next-gen reactors are excellent designs for future space/planet power plants. Add in radioisotope thermal generators, which should be on every unmanned and manned space probe/vehicle. Screw the unreliable (especially when going farther away from the Sun) solar power. Want to beam hi-def large pictures from space? Nuclear power. Go nukes!
All excellent commons sense normal thinking solutions with available technology…except for one thing: The Dem's do not want solutions, they love chaos because it keeps them in power.
Despite having superior life-changing technology in our very hands, and serious brain power to solve these problems, society has been intentionally put on a significantly regressive path instead of advancement in leaps and bounds like we should be in this era (in those areas you point to). Bottom line is these knuckleheads don't give a rip about "us"…unlike our Founders who cared less about themselves and more for the greater good for all people to unify a new Nation. Elected officials have – for easily the last 130 years – forgotten that very prescription of what taking THAT Oath means, instead selling their souls to the highest (sometimes lowest) bidder, including sworn enemies, which in our Founders time would required being hung at dawn in the public square, not vaunted as some hero.
Maybe it's time "We The People" need to "throw off" those ruining everything and start anew; simply ignore them to provide for ourselves as a whole, as "One Nation Under God, Indivisible". Do we really need those in DC screwing with our lives in every wrong manner possible while selling us that it's for our good? Aside from people who STILL need to be reminded to put their tray table up, or to stay home during a nasty blizzard, do we really need these morons telling us what to do?
riverrider December 27, 2022 At 5:54 am
the earth/moon system is delicately balanced, and anything changed could have far reaching consequences to human life. i say leave it be. if displacement theory is correct, same for mars. they should leave earth alone too. sure, make water, but greening a mass as large as kali would effect the weather across the northern hemisphere in ways we cannot predict. super tornadoes? twenty foot snowfalls? twenty inch rainfalls? who knows? it all seems a terrible waste of resources and talent to me.
What if we Lost GPS? ...

Neighbours object to plans to extend opening of Southampton waterside walkway
Many residents of the homes at Quay 2000 in St Denys are unhappy about proposals to open a public walkway by their homes

Receive all the latest news directly to your inbox with our HampshireLive newsletter
A final decision on controversial plans to amend the opening hours of a waterside pathway in Southampton is set to be taken next week.
The waterside walkway near homes at Quay 2000 in St Denys could be closed as early as 4pm.
It comes as residents fear that extended opening hours would result in anti-social behaviour.
In 2019 plans were approved to allow the closure of the pathway between 9pm and 7am from April 2 to September 29 and from 6pm to 7am between September 30 and April 1.
But new proposals have been put forward asking for the pathway to stay open between 8am and 8pm from April 1 to October 31 and from 8am to 4pm between November 1 and March 31.
A final decision on whether to reduce the opening hours will be taken by the Planning and Rights of Way Panel at Southampton City Council next Tuesday.
Council bosses said public consultations on the plans provided a response which was "distinctly split" between those in favour and those against the amended opening hours.
In official documents civic chiefs said: "Those in support of the proposal, generally residents of Quay 2000, were concerned that the anti-social behaviour experienced previously would return due to the later opening hours.
"However, the contrary view is that the revised hours are too restrictive and do not provide a reasonable level of waterfront access for all."
The plans are recommended for refusal.
In the report set to be discussed next week planning bosses said: "The difference in hours would not be expected to create an environment which would lead to the return of the antisocial behaviour issues.
"Having reviewed the consultations and given weight to all, it is judged on balance, that the principle of closing the Walkway during the hours of darkness does seem to have removed the previous anti-social behaviour blighting the Walkway, as officers have received no further reports of any such anti-social behavioural issue, associated with the Walkway, from the public."
