This year, the teachers' day fell at the weekend of September first week. This helped the campus to celebrate the occasion for two consecutive days. The first day, 5th of September was taken away by heart touching expressions of students in their own style. Students decorated their class rooms and invited concerned faculty members to honor them and to treat them. Many a faculty members got perplexed with two or more than two invitations from different classes for the same time slot.
In the afternoon, same day, all gathered in auditorium to enjoy cultural presentations from students. The event inaugurated with Guru Vandana sung by students and later, there were many performances by different students in the form of singing, dance and speech. Results of an essay competition "Why I like the teacher most", were also announced during the event. The winner of this event was Sidharth Sharma (Ist year, ME).Next day, on 6th September, 2014, a free health check-up camp was organized by the campus for the faculty members, in association with Narayana Multispecialty Hospital. Free check-up and medical consultation were provided to 126 faculty members of the campus. Check-up of Blood Sugar, Blood Pressure and facility of Electrocardiography were provided in the camp.

There can be little to replace the one-to-one relationship between teacher and pupil, but in the past few years there has been an increasing demand for a self-tutor for the small harp from students who live in areas where, for one reason or another, a teacher is not regularly accessible. Also musicians, who can already play the instrument, have expressed interest in the traditional style techniques used in Scottish and Irish music.
•	Advice on buying and maintaining a clarsach.
•	A basic guide to Musical Notation.
•	Instruction on sitting at the harp, arm, hand and finger positions.
•	Lessons and exercises for two, three and four fingers.
•	Chords, scales, arpeggios and moving around the harp.
•	A section on ornamentation in the traditional style, with exercises on simple to advanced grace-note techniques.
•	40 tunes, varying from elementary to advanced.
•	Historical notes and information on the tunes.
•	Advice on arranging music.
•	The accompanying CD demonstrates the lessons in the book.
One of Scotland' s leading clarsach (small harp) players. She has a degree in Celtic Studies and Archaeology, and studied the Scottish harp with the late Jean Campbell from the age of 14. She has made three records and has published collection's of music, all of which draw on her historical research into the Scottish harp, her deep knowledge of traditional music, and her insight into the expressive nature of the instrument. Her records were the first to re-explore the clarsach as a solo instrument within the Scottish tradition. Received with much critical acclaim, they have done much to encourage the growing appreciation of Scottish harp music.

Q: How do I block access to the root files of the subdomain with Apache? I have a subdomain that has index.php at its root. What I want is to block access to https://SUB.example.com/index.php or any other top files while letting anyone with a full URL to access to files (like another index.php in a subfolder of that subdomain)
I would like to do this under my virtualhost config instead of .htaccess because the same folder is used by another subdomain.
I am using Apache 2.4 under Debian Buster

A: There are several ways to limit the access to a certain path, but here's one example:
Make use of the <Location> tag.  For example:
<VirtualHost "*:80">
    DocumentRoot "/path/to/blah"
    ServerName blah.blah.blah
    <Location "/somepath">
        Require all denied
    </Location>
</VirtualHost>

You could also use the Redirect option in the location, if you want to point the client somewhere more informational:
Redirect 403 /somepath /some-nice-message.html

A: Use the LocationMatch directive, which allows specifying a regular expression as a location, like this:
<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName your.server.name
    (...)
    <LocationMatch "^/[^/]*">
       Require all denied
    </LocationMatch>
</VirtualHost>

This will block all access which begins with a /, but does not contain any / signs, so anything in the webroot will be blocked, but any path under that will be allowed. Parameters are not considered part of the path, so calling /index.php?/blah will be denied as well.
However, if AcceptPathInfo is On or Default, then paths like /index.php/blah will be accepted, and will result in parsing the php file (in fact, any scripts which have handlers accepting PATH_INFO requests will be served this way). If it is not what you want, then you might want to disable AcceptPathInfo, but that may result in misbehaving PHP pages. A better solution is explicitly denying php files in the root directory (this config snippet should be used after the one above):
<LocationMatch "^/[^/]*\.php.*">
    Require all denied
</LocationMatch>

If you've been coming to Civilization Party for a long time, thank you. I owe you one, and your reward is about to come due.
2023 will see the radical transformation of this site. I've had fun with Civ Party but it's time for a serious update as my ambitions as a writer ascend.
I've had some outstanding help over the last year and soon you'll see an elegant transformation of this channel, including a complete rebranding of the blog.
Gaucho bassist Ari Munkres takes five at Caffe Trieste, North Beach, San Francisco.
You know that argument you have with yourself on Friday night where you're melted to the couch in an overworked daze with no intention of ever moving again, and all you really want in this whole world is to drain the last of that Trader Joe's red blend and watch depressing French films on Criterion Channel until the day finally falls to its death between the icy crevasses of your soul — but you've told a friend you'd show up to his gig?
Don't let your inner sadsack win that argument. It's always better to go out, always better to see your friends, to strap on the high heels and slap on the aftershave and kick it all up a few notches. Especially when your city is finding its night-crawling feet again after years of semi-shutdown and exodus. It's time to think about living.
And if you're a mere bus ride across town from North Beach, San Francisco, you really have no excuse.
Yet a few weeks ago, sitting on that wobbly 1 California crawl up the Polk slopes that peak at Grace Cathedral then plunge like a roller coaster down into the narrows of Chinatown, all I could think was: I must be crazy. I'm exhausted. I'm antisocial. I look like crap. I've got nothing to say to anyone. Why am I doing this?
I was doing this because my Scottish friend Paul was playing with his new band at Maggie McGarry's on Grant Street, and I wanted to see who he was when not in a shell suit at 6:30 in the morning, dashing his takeaway coffee out the cafe door to his next construction gig. I told him I'd show, and my word is my word.
Somewhere around the Powell Street stop, though, I decided to stop moping and face the night with a transformed spirit. I'm not that tired and anyway the real gift of nightlife is that you never know what's going to happen — especially when you think you do.
And sure enough, walking up south-of-Broadway Grant Street, I'm almost to Kerouac Alley when I run smack into Ari Munkres, bassist for local gypsy jazz legends Gaucho, whom I haven't seen since before COVID.
We repair to the old Beat haunt Caffe Trieste on Grant and Vallejo for drinks and post-pandemic catch-up.
"We all lost a few years, Jen," says Ari, shaking his head. "I mean, what's The Zen of Losing a Few Years?"
I get a boost from him looking so at home in this midcentury-holdout Italian coffeehouse — smart hat, smart specs, freshly pressed shirt — but he has to hustle on to Gaucho's standing gig at the dark, elegant Comstock Saloon over on Columbus. I decide to follow him over so I can grab a prosecco and check out a few tunes.
At Comstock I'm able for the first time since 2019 to wave hello to renowned Gaucho jazz guitarist Dave Ricketts. The band also has a standing gig Thursday nights at DecoDance over on Polk and Sutter. I have yet to drop by this divine-looking neo-Deco speakeasy, but it's on my SF bucket list.
The band is in top form, and tunes like "Ain't Misbehavin'" find a willing audience among young internationals sinking vermouth concoctions in high-walled booths. I'd love to stay, but I've got to get moving if I'm going to hit all the spots before seeing Paul's band.
Drinkers enjoy Kerouac Alley outside City Lights Bookstore.
The crowd at Vesuvio a few doors up has gotten steadily more boorish and careerist over the years but even taking that into account, on a Friday night it's ridiculous.
Yes, Vesuvio with the panoramic Kerouac Alley view from its upstairs gallery and all its boisterous junk on the walls and lived-in anti-splendor – it must have been a riot in Dharma Bum days. Nowadays you can have a go at wine-fueled existential speculation here, but it's not easy when the next three booths over are loaded with drunk Wharton grads who believe they're going to alter the course of human destiny.
The strange thing is, if they get seed funding for their nose-picking app or their self-driving toaster oven, they may do just that. But should they, friends, should they? Screaming about Tesla and crypto over the 2000s power pop revival hits on the sound system, checking TikTok for instructions on how to have a good time?
One young man sits on his own across from me, glass of wine, reading the standalone paperback of a Henry Miller short story. I don't want to bother him but must affirm the choice. He is friendly enough – how often do some of us, after all, read in public hoping someone will attaboy our taste in authors and strike up a conversation? Guilty as charged – and he tells me the story is incredible and he got the book at City Lights. There's hope yet.
Specs Bar: a heretic to the Church of Innovation.
Gotta see who's at Specs Bar across the street. As it turns out: Alan Black, former publican of the much-missed Edinburgh Castle, author and lit-scene booster, fresh back from Scotland and pulling pints. He's restarted the Specs Social Club event on first Thursdays, where the mic is open to readers and rockers and just about anyone.
I settle in with the regulars at the end of the bar and we end up belting out the Stones' "Ruby Tuesday" like a bunch of hopeless cases.
North Beach photographer Dennis Hearne shows his work.
On to Green Street's Foreign Lens art space, but en route I'm drawn into the enviably named Live Worms Gallery on Grant, where (among others) photographer Dennis Hearne is showing his work chronicling the North Beach street and music scene.
Tonight's reception showcases about five other artists producing everything from jewelry to ink sketches, and the crowds are spilling out into the parklets. Overheard as I passed some women dishing on the general topic of amour: "He's a total narcissistic asshole, you know, but the sex is incredible."
Are we "back to normal" yet?
Revelers enjoy Foreign Specs' subterranean disco.
If you're seeking a reliable basement boogie on Friday nights, Foreign Lens is your true north. Tuneful disco warps the curio-studded walls and once you've danced your ass off you can crash out on an antique sofa and watch the portrait painting or the body painting or the makeout action or the…
Time for Paul's band. Back around the corner on Grant, Maggie McGarry's is heaving with postgrads. The young women flirt in full makeup and spaghetti-strap tops, the young men hoist their beers and howl in shorts and t-shirts. It feels like the 90s again, celebratory and volatile and muggy with body steam. I can't even get near the stage to let Paul know I'm here, it's that crazy.
But there he is, all in black and on the bass, looking aces, supporting the diva in Amy Winehouse and Adele covers, songs that every kid knows every word to and they sing with full throats and beer-filled bellies and bursting hearts. Hugs, tears, selfies, fists pumping in the air. They've made it. Made it through another lousy COVID year of higher education.
And though I only just got here, I slip back out after 20 minutes, quitting while I'm ahead. What more heavenly note than this could the evening end on?
Postscript: You didn't hear it from me, but if you call Flywheel, you get an actual human being on the dispatch line.
You'd think global lockdown would have been an easy time in which to write. Indeed, if you own the hellish twister that is a writer's brain, you've actually dreamt about times like this. Hey—what if everything just stopped for some reason and you had to stay indoors, and you had to be idle, and nothing was going on to make you feel like an introverted freak for not being there, and you could just …
But it hasn't been like that. Not for me, sheltering in Passau, Germany. Not for countless other writers I've read and heard who say they can't concentrate for shit and spend half the day consumed with a crippling ennui that can ground the entire day in sleep, inability to distinguish one day from the next, and general uselessness of body and soul.
And this is where you start to calculate the role of stability and certainty in any life, the energy it actually gives you just by lying there undetected underneath everything. The questions that normality asks and answers for you, leaving you blissfully uninvolved. Of course you can meet five friends for a drink. Of course you can take a long trip for the weekend.
But the stability calculation becomes particularly clear when the society you're in, little by little, begins to open back up, performing its functions and follies again.
Starting in late April, Germany has restored bookstores and some shopping, worship services, and hairdressing salons.
But this week we got outdoor dining back, and it's like Christmastime on ecstasy. The sense of restored communion and humanity—in myself, in the people around me, in the early summer air of old Passau—is astonishing.
Of course we still have to be on our guard. There's a clear and present danger with every one of these readjustments back to a type of life as we knew it.
But this one allowance of breaking bread together in the open air, even though I'm enjoying it on my own, transforms my isolated existence from a serial noir into a rom-com shot in glorious Cinemascope color.
Whether imposed by the state or the self, the writer's isolation is a razor's edge. Yeah, I've gotten some writing done and I've even been published a few times in this whole mess.
But more importantly, I'm someone else now and you are too. Maybe stronger, maybe sadder, maybe more adaptable, maybe readier to make sacrifices for a desperately needed greater good.
Let's hope so. Bon appetit.
When You're a Boy
I just went in to Fog City News with the full intention of buying the remaining September fashion issues for their runway shots of Dolce & Gabbana's lacy red dresses; I walked out instead with a magazine aimed at dudes obsessed with "dirtbag road trips" and $750 fixed-blade knives.
Why? Well, could you resist a magazine whose tagline is "Live Bravely"? Didn't think so.
In fact, the October issue of Outside magazine promises "127 Strategies for Living Bravely," and they do not disappoint. Breaking down the dude life-journey decade by decade (your teens, your 20s, your 30s, and so forth), the Santa Fe, New Mexico–based editorial board lays out for your escape-starved pleasure a smorgasbord of age-appropriate adventures, swashbuckling life lessons, and panoramic landscapes on distant continents.
I know the snark is fairly dripping off my prose here, but seriously, I'm liking this magazine a lot. I leaf through it on a coffee break; a few photo spreads of exotic scenery and shirtless athletes later, I'm mentally gearing up for ice-fishing in Yellowknife or surfing in Egypt, ready to take my own dirtbag odyssey into the grand unknown.
In other words: I'm pretending Outside is aimed at me. I'm fantasizing that there's a publishing concern somewhere that actually thinks highly enough of me to know I'll buy the magazine if they tell me to live bravely.
Women's magazines—no matter how progressive, racy, or life-affirming they think they are—would never give us the Live Bravely creed.
Instead, they like to talk about strength. Strong women. As in: endurance. Putting up and shutting up. Staying in the trenches. Battling cancer. Struggling to be heard. Suffering in dignity. Be strong, the message seems to be, so you'll be prepared when even more truckloads of shit inevitably get unloaded on helpless little you.
Bravery, on the other hand, is about kicking ass, having fun, and taking risks that are telegenic and cool. Where strength is about hospital rooms, vomiting toddlers, and cheating husbands, bravery is about snowboarding in Turkey and penetrating vice dens in Manila to take art photos of hookers.
It's not just the gung-ho attitude of Outside that appeals to me. The fact is, I'm also a sucker for highly structured inspirational bromides. "127 Strategies for Living Bravely"? Come on, like I'm supposed to say no to that? Especially when the women's-magazine version would be "20 Ways to Sort of Hate Yourself Less"?
If adventure travel is brought up at all in my magazines of habit, it's usually a first-person feature by a woman held up to us as a particular risk-taker, and it must start with the sentence, "I was on the rebound from a painful breakup / painful divorce / painful hangnail / etc." Nobody in a women's magazine ever goes trekking in New Zealand just because it's a kick-ass, exciting thing to do. The Tragic Overture must be wailing in the background.
Outside, on the other hand, just assumes you did Machu Picchu ten years ago like everyone else (duh) and now you're training for a triathlon in Bali.
And amazingly, for all this life-on-the-edge bravado, they're not jerks about women. Relationships and marriage are not sneer fodder but acknowledged as essential components of the examined life. Talk of baggin' babes is rare and elliptical. We are advised, for example, to nickname our teenage-era adventure trucks Kermit rather than The Shaggin' Wagon.
(Well-placed sex references don't really offend me anyway. Outdoor frolicking with shirtless athletes should be an essential component of my examined life. It's all got to add up somehow.)
Continuing: One-fifth of the "30 Books Every Guy Should Read" are written by women (some would hope for more, but dude, it's a dude mag). A surprising number of Outside's articles are authored by women, including first-person adventure narratives minus the waterworks and personal melodrama.
Finally, I don't know how feminist this is, but there's this endearing obsession with adventure dogs. The pages of Outside abound with adventure-dog care products, photo contests, and stories. Dudes send in photos of Jake or Frodo paddling wildly across the Snake River with giant branches clenched in their smiling jaws. It's just kinda sweet.
It's as though the editors know full well they've got some women readers like me, clinging onto them like a life-raft of possibility in a sea of fashion rags grinding their stiletto heels into our faces, showing us images of glamour and power then slinging us dreary editorial gruel to starve on.
You may argue that it's only natural for women's magazines to be small-minded downers. Aren't they merely reflections of our lives, which are in fact small-minded downers? Even if we're career girls, we're still the caring gender, burdened with more suffocating responsibilities than men and constantly dwelling on them. We spend more time caring for children, aging parents, and infantile husbands and bosses. We have no choice but to see life as trench warfare, n'est-ce pas?
Well, it's funny about that. The men of Outside apparently do not see wives, children, mortgages, old age, flesh-eating bacteria, or anything as impediments to Living Bravely. They take their kids zip-lining in Costa Rica. They spend pipe-smoking summers in cottages on the west coast of Ireland. They wheel their aging parents through the Smithsonian. They join the Peace Corps in their empty-nest stage and they stroll the Appalachians in their silver years. They just keep on finding ways to do badass things.
True, this confident access to multiple outrageous options in life smacks of a certain economic entitlement. Not everyone (in fact, probably fewer and fewer as time goes on) can afford to live bravely the Outside magazine way.
And if we're honest with ourselves, the planet can't afford it at all. The atmosphere cries mercy with every long-haul flight to Buenos Aires.
But if we're going to consider meta-problems at all, isn't it also true that breaking out of survival mode and thinking more broadly about our ultimate direction as individuals is a basic human need?
This leads to the real catch, besides the gender one, of loving Outside magazine. It spotlights this mental tightrope-walk I find myself wobbling along these days: Am I living by the Apocalypse Story or the Carpe Diem story? You can't conscionably do both, yet that's exactly what most of us do every day. We believe it's all going to hell in a handbasket . . . and then we buy cool stuff shipped in from China. We despair of climate change . . . then book that flight to Cancun. We believe that jobs are going away . . . and then read that "Finding Your Dream Job" article in the in-flight magazine.
The way we live makes no sense at all, and deep-down we know it. The facts get more grisly every day, yet we're creatures of motivation and must conjure some idea of progress, if not in the world at large, then at least in ourselves.
The extent to which our projects of personal self-improvement end up fouling our planetary nest is an irony almost too depressing to discuss. At the same time, dwelling on it can put you in a very puritanical, ungenerous, locked-down state of mind—exactly the state of mind that can't solve a problem to save its life.
For better or worse, the real core of fun and excitement, the reason the pleasure principle is built into all of us, is that it gives us ideas. And ideas are the only things that are going to get us out of this mess.
Women's magazines don't give me ideas. Not ones that matter. They trap me in some sort of therapeutic nightmare-nanny echo chamber where everything is framed in terms of crisis and tragedy. Nobody ever tells us as women: You can take these challenges life gives you and actually have fun with them.
A closing thought: I'm guessing Outside's real-world demographic income may be lower than it seems. The bottom line of the magazine racket is that you're selling a particular vision of life, and that involves a practice called up-selling: advertising items and lifestyles that are just out of the reader's economic reach.
As with any magazine, you have to do some fiction-to-reality interpretation. Will I be buying a $750 fixed-blade knife or going ice fishing in Yellowknife any time soon? No. Am I more likely to join a local hiking club after reading all these ripping tales of falling into ice crevasses and cooking freshly caught salmon on an open fire? Yeah, totally. And really, that's all I need.
For me, Outside amounts to an up-sell of character. The people in it are braver, more entitled, and less worried than I am. They just are. And they are mostly men. Buying magazines meant for men, sadly, is the quickest shortcut to radically reimagining my life. I wish it weren't so.
Maybe having an adventure dog named Kermit would help.
Welcome to the new, vastly improved Civilization Party blog. This format is now brighter, more open, and more readable; for my part, it's easier and more graphically exciting to post to, which means I'll be posting more often from here on out.
In the meantime take a gander at my last post, "The Drift" (to which I was finally able to add the graphic of the Scott Walker album by the same name) in which I examine why most contemporary fiction just doesn't spin my bow-tie. And stay tuned!
Welcome to Civilization Party!

My name is Jen Burke Anderson. I'm a writer in San Francisco. I've been planning this blog for a long time and finally, I've got my launch pad for commentary on everything from pop to politics. Watch this space — the idea is for me never to post more often than once a week, because I don't think anything of quality can be written in less than a week. That's just a full-time proofreader's opinion.
I'm glad you've come to visit. Please come back!

Judas Priest - Point of Entry (1981)
Daniel / January 11, 2019 / Comments 0 / 0
Judas Priest were on a real high following the huge success of 1980's "British Steel" album which had finally enabled them to crack that elusive US market. It had seen the band moving into the 80's with a simpler, glossier & more accessible sound which was always going to be more appealing to a US audience that had traditionally had far less patience than its European counterparts. The increased revenue that this brought in allowed the band to upgrade their recording budget for their seventh album which was recorded in Ibiza Studios in Spain between October & November 1980.
The aim was to produce a louder, stronger & more live sounding record & I think Judas Priest achieved that with "Point Of Entry" being released in February 1981. It saw the band moving closer again towards a more commercially accessible sound with far more traditional hard rock riffs included than chuggy bottom string metal ones. This didn't impress the metal community much & I think it would be fair to say that "Point Of Entry" was regarded as Judas Priest's least popular studio release to that time even though it may have sold a fair few copies. That's really not all that surprising given that Priest had elected to drop their intensity when the rest of the metal scene was hell bent on increasing theirs. I have to admit that I don't mind Priest's more accessible sound though even though I agree that it was not as strong as we'd heard from their previous material.
"Point Of Entry" is a real mixed bag as far as quality goes with some really great material mixed in with some pretty weak songs. As expected, the more metal numbers offer the most appeal but I think it would be out of line to simply disregard a record because its metal credentials aren't as strong. The fact that "Point Of Entry" is more of a hard rock record than a metal one is in no way responsible for me regarding it as weaker than the band's previous material. The quality of the song-writing is the deciding factor in that decision. AC/DC was again a massive influence on the sound of this record & a large proportion of the riffage can be tied back to the Young family in some way. The B side includes three real failures in a row which can take some of the gloss off the album highlights if you're not careful. "All The Way" in particular is both cheesy & dumb with US commercial radio play firmly in its sights. Both "British Steel" & "Killing Machine" had their more commercial numbers however they still possessed enough metal elements to carry them whereas it's not quite as cut & dry with "Point Of Entry". Of the ten tracks I would suggest that I really only enjoy half of them but the highlights are just strong enough to ensure that I get enough enjoyment out of it to make the whole experience worth while even though I rarely find myself feeling the urge to return to it when there are so many stronger Priest records out there to quench my metal thirst.
Overall, I'd recommend that fans of hard rockin' heavy metal should give "Point Of Entry" a listen or two with an open mind. I'd be surprised if you don't at least find a few songs to spin on your iPod even if you can't deal with the album as a whole. "Desert Plains" in particular is amongst Priest's classic songs in my opinion while "Solar Angels" & "On The Run" are also really strong.

– Indonesia's Climate Villages Where Communities Work Together to Mitigate Climate Change –
By Kanis Dursin
On the occasion of World Environment Day, 5 June 2021, drawing from IPS's bank of features and opinion editorials published this year, we are re-publishing one article a day, for the next two weeks. The original article was published on April 7 2021
Indonesia's Climate Villages Where Communities Work Together to Mitigate Climate Change
Residents of Ngadirejo village in Sukaharjo regency, Central Java province, had often found themselves helpless when their wells dried up or water flooded through their homes. But thanks to a national campaign called Program Kampung Iklim, known by its acronym ProKlim, they now have solutions to this flooding that generally occurs because of a lack of adequate water catchments.
Can Agricultural Apps Bring Indonesia's Farmers Back to the Fields?
When his friends prodded him to use an agricultural app in July, rice farmer Mustafa reluctantly downloaded RiTx Bertani into his smart phone. Four months later, he feels happy to have given the technology a try.
Cultivating an Eco-friendly Culture in Indonesia's Schools
In West Jakarta, Indonesia, teachers at the private Santo Kristoforus High School are so environmentally conscious they make other schools seem a little bit green when it comes to environmental education.
Fisherfolk Fix Both Food and Climate by Closing Fishing Grounds
Samsul sounded very happy last Monday (Mar. 16) when recounting his experience of catching crabs worth more than $60 in a single day.
Indonesia's Laws Ineffective against Human Trafficking
When her uncle offered her an opportunity to work in Jakarta almost a decade ago, the then 15-year-old Afra Burga Ambui immediately agreed and soon she was boarding a two-hour flight to the country's capital and away from her village on Flores Island in East Nusa Tenggara, southern Indonesia.
Seychelles Issues World's First Blue Bond to Fund Fisheries Projects
The Republic of Seychelles announced on Monday that it has issued a 10-year blue bond to finance fisheries projects, making it the world's first country to utilise capital markets for funding the sustainable use of marine resources.
Indonesia Unveils Low Carbon Development Framework
Indonesia is convinced that low carbon development and a green economy are key to further boosting economic growth without sacrificing environmental sustainability and social inclusivity.
Q&A: Indonesia Takes Steps to Reduce Emissions – But It's Not Enough
The South Asian nation of Indonesia is the world's fifth-largest emitter of greenhouses gases (GHG) and is ranked as the world's second-largest plastic polluter of oceans, just behind China. So when the country committed in the Paris Agreement to limit the rise in average global temperatures to below 2°C by unconditionally reducing its emissions by 29 percent with using its own finances and by 41 percent with international funding, many felt the goals too ambitious.
Three-Zone Biosecurity Offers New Hope to Indonesian Farmers
Poultry farmer Bambang Sutrisno Setiawan had long heard about biosecurity but never gave serious thought to it, even when the highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 forced him to cull thousands of his layer chickens in 2003 and 2009.
Indonesian Farmers Weather Climate Change with Conservation Agriculture
Fifty-two-year-old farmer Theresia Loda was effusive when asked how conservation agriculture has changed her economic situation.
Children Tapped to End Child Marriage in Indonesia
The Indonesian government is tapping children as advocates against child marriage in this Southeast Asian country where over 340,000 girls get married before they reach 18 years old every year.
ASEAN Agreement on Haze? As Clear as Smoke
A regional agreement on managing transboundary haze caused by fires raging in Indonesia's forests and peatlands appears all but buried in the embers of frustration of its neighbouring countries.
Diversifying Income Helps Ease Climate Woes
When 45-year-old Kaswati joined an income-generating project in her village in Indonesia's West Java province in 1999, all she hoped to do was supplement her family's income at a time of erratic harvests.
Putting Food Security on the Calendar
Last October, at the beginning of Indonesia's rainy season, a 37-year-old farmer named Herinurdin took a leap of faith. Instead of planting corn in his entire 1.3-hectare rainfed farm in the Sukabumi town of West Java, as his family had done for generations, he sowed 1,600 square metres worth of rice instead.
Critics Slam ASEAN Rights Commission
At the age of 82, former Indonesian political detainee Mudjayin wonders if he will ever see justice served.
Cultivating Food Security in Their Own Backyards
Misradi, a 58-year-old farmer from the Jelok neighborhood in Pacitan, East Java, some 524 kilometres east of Jakarta, has found a way to reduce his monthly expenses by 30 percent: instead of buying produce from the local market, he and his family now harvest most of their vegetables from their own yard.
Indonesia Galvanises Youth Ahead of Rio+20
Clutching a plastic bag containing a tree sapling in his right hand and a slim notebook in his left, 11-year-old Rizki Fauzi is the picture of a young climate change expert.
Indonesian Farmers Burned in Biofuel Drive
Dreams of sending his children to quality schools have vanished for 40-year-old farmer Muslikin, as the father of three now struggles to repay the bank loan he took out to finance his jatropha plantation in 2006.
INDONESIA: Community Radio Helps Revive Forests
Irman Meilandi unhesitatingly attributes the return of birds, wildlife and the forests around his hilly village of Mandalamekar in West Java province to conservation advice streaming in over community radio.
Indonesian Commission Seeks Rehabilitation, Not Detention
Amid increasing reports of physical abuses resulting in deaths in youth detention and correctional centres across the country, an Indonesian state commission has embarked on a national campaign to scrap detention and imprisonment of children altogether.


Simsbury High School created an impressive new Media Center by carefully selecting both standard and custom furniture. The Worden Company provided Alcott Series computer workstations and Academix Series reading tables. Worden MWS Systems furniture was installed in the computer labs. Worden also fabricated a custom semicircular reference and circulation desk. MJ Industries System 3000 steel shelving was used through out the Media Center with custom framed oak veneer and solid end panels and canopy tops.


Hong Kong GC is one of the few courses on Tour that allows the nudgers to compete with the bombers on an even playing field. Challenge Tour graduate Aaron Rai is one of, if not the most accurate driver in this week's field and should be licking his lips at this week's test. The young Englishman has made great strides recently; judging by some his exploits this year, lack of course experience should not be a worry.
Thongchai Jaidee is on a miserable run of form and he's missed his last four cuts. That's clearly a negative but he has a cracking record at Fanling and prior to those four weekends off, the veteran Thai finished inside the top-ten at the European Masters - an event that correlates very well with this one. Jaidee has finished inside the top-20 in each of the last 10 renewals of the UBS Hong Kong Open and he hasn't always been in tip-top form coming in to the event so with seven places up for grabs, he's a sporting price at 80/1 at a venue he clearly loves.
I'm quite excited by Marcus Fraser's chances this week as he ticks a lot of boxes going into an event he clearly enjoys playing. The 39-year-old Aussie finished fifth at the Italia Open just two starts ago, so we have no concerns about his current form, and his record in Asia is superb too with two of his three European Tour victories coming on Asian soil as well as recording a plethora of second and third place finishes in this part of the world. His record at Fanling isn't too shabby either - he's made the cut in all of his last seven visits, finished inside the top 11 on five occasions, and has two top-five finishes to his name. And among his career-best performances are very high finishes at the BMW PGA Championship and Omega European Masters, played at venues that correlate exceptional well with the Fanling layout.
It's an obvious pick from me this week but I genuinely think the 55/1 on David Lipsky is a few ticks too long. As most European Tour watchers know, the American (who has a Korean mother) is a force when playing in Asia, finishing fifth in this event last time out and runner-up in Malaysia a couple of months later. Like most of the field at the top of the betting he has been playing plenty of golf recently but unlike two of the favourites, Justin Rose and Tommy Fleetwood, he hasn't been battling for the Race to Dubai crown. Lipsky's best results have come on short, tricky tracks - a winner at the Omega European Masters being the most notable achievement. Lipsky was 12th on debut at Fanling so that fifth in 2016 wasn't a one-off. A third round 64 at the DP World Tour Championship last week perhaps hints at Lipsky having a bit left in the tank. I certainly hope so!

The Ford Piquette Avenue Plant is a former factory located within the Milwaukee Junction area of Detroit, Michigan, in the United States. Built in 1904, it was the second center of automobile production for the Ford Motor Company, after the Ford Mack Avenue Plant. At the Piquette Avenue Plant, the company created and first produced the Ford Model T, the car credited with initiating the mass use of automobiles in the United States. Prior to the Model T, several other car models were assembled at the factory. Early experiments using a moving assembly line to make cars were also conducted there. It was also the first factory where more than 100 cars were assembled in one day. While it was headquartered at the Piquette Avenue Plant, Ford Motor Company became the biggest U.S.-based automaker, and it would remain so until the mid-1920s. The factory was used by the company until 1910, when its car production activity was relocated to the new, bigger Highland Park Ford Plant.

Studebaker bought the factory in 1911, using it to assemble cars until 1933. The building was sold in 1936, going through a series of owners for the rest of the 20th century before becoming a museum in 2001. The Piquette Avenue Plant is the oldest purpose-built automotive factory building open to the public. The museum, which was visited by over 31,000 people in 2018, has exhibits that primarily focus on the beginning of the United States automotive industry. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2002, became a Michigan State Historic Site in 2003, and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2006.

History

Ford period
Henry Ford, Detroit coal merchant Alexander Y. Malcomson, and a group of investors formed the Ford Motor Company on June 16, 1903, to assemble automobiles. The company's first car model, the original Ford Model A, began to be assembled that same month at the Ford Mack Avenue Plant, a rented wagon manufacturing shop in Detroit, Michigan. The company quickly outgrew this facility and, on April 10, 1904, bought a parcel of land off of Piquette Avenue in Detroit to accommodate a larger factory. The land was located in the Milwaukee Junction area, whose name is derived from a railroad junction within it. The Ford Piquette Avenue Plant's construction started on May 10, 1904. The company moved into its new factory the following October.

The Detroit-based architectural firm Field, Hinchman & Smith designed the Piquette Avenue Plant. It is an example of late Victorian-style architecture and was modeled after New England textile mills. Designing factories based on this type of mill was common practice in the United States at the time. The building is three stories high,  wide, and  long. Its load-bearing exterior brick walls contain 355 windows, and its maple floors, supported by square oak beams and posts, cover . The Piquette Avenue Plant contains two elevator-stairwell combinations, one located on its northwest corner and the other located on its southwest side.  Recalling a fire in March 1901 that destroyed the Olds Motor Works factory in Detroit, Henry Ford and the architects included a fire sprinkler system in the building's design, a rare feature for industrial buildings of the period. This and several other original safety features in the factory, such as its firewalls, fire doors, and fire escapes, are still present. Water for the sprinkler system was supplied by a wooden water tank located on the building's roof. A brick powerhouse, measuring  wide by  long, was the original electricity provider for the factory, and was located near its northwest corner. The water tank and powerhouse no longer exist.

From October 1904 to the end of 1909, Ford Motor Company assembled car models B, C, F, K, N, R, S, and T at the Piquette Avenue Plant. Ford models B and C were the first car models produced at the factory starting in late 1904, and production of the Ford Model F began the following February. The vast majority of factory tasks were done by men, except for magneto assembly, which was done by women. Hand tools were used for the assembly work at fixed stations, and the completed components would be brought by hand to the chassis for final assembly. Completed cars were shipped to the company's distributors and dealers by rail using a spur line behind the building, which connected to a Michigan Central Railroad main line. Due to variations in demand and car model changeover, the number of employees varied constantly, ranging from as low as 300 to as high as 700. The company did not recognize labor unions at the factory. Ford Motor Company was a member of the Employers' Association of Detroit, an organization that prevented most of the city's factories from unionizing until the 1930s.

In 1905, Ford Motor Company was the fourth-largest car producer in the United States, behind Cadillac, Rambler, and Oldsmobile. In the company's early years, most major components in its cars were manufactured by outside companies, including the "running gear" (the chassis, engine, transmission, drive shaft, and axles), which was supplied by the Dodge Brothers Company. That began to change in early 1906, when the Ford Manufacturing Company, a new, separate company created by Henry Ford and some Ford Motor Company stockholders, started to make engines and transmissions for the upcoming Ford Model N. The Ford Manufacturing Company was located at the Bellevue Avenue Plant, a leased factory off of Bellevue Avenue in Detroit. The Bellevue Avenue Plant was used until 1908, by which time almost all manufacturing of major components for Ford Motor Company cars was taking place at the Piquette Avenue Plant. Model N production began at the Piquette Avenue Plant in July 1906. That same month, Henry Ford bought the Ford Motor Company shares owned by fellow company co-founder Alexander Malcomson. While Malcomson was with the company, he and Henry Ford disagreed over the type of car that the company should produce. Malcomson preferred expensive cars, like the Ford Model K; Henry Ford favored inexpensive cars, like the Model N. Once Malcomson was no longer part of the company, Henry Ford, now with uncontested control, focused the company's efforts towards making cheap cars exclusively. The success of the Model N made Ford Motor Company the largest automaker in the United States by the end of 1906, a distinction that it would hold for twenty years.

In January 1907, in a room located on the Piquette Avenue Plant's third floor in the northeast corner, the design process began for the Ford Model T, the car credited with starting the mass use of cars in the United States. Much of the design and experimental work for the new car was done by Henry Ford, draftsman Joseph Galamb, engineer Childe Harold Wills, and machinist C.J. Smith. Vanadium steel, an alloy lighter and stronger than standard steel, which was first used sparingly with the Ford Model N, R, and S, was used extensively with the Model T. The company revealed the plans for the Model T to its dealers on March 19, 1908.

During July 1908, a few months before the Model T's introduction, a group of Piquette Avenue Plant employees experimented with the concept of using a moving assembly line to make cars, where the chassis would be moved to the workers for components to be installed. This effort was led by Charles E. Sorensen, the assistant to Peter E. Martin, who was the factory's superintendent. Sorensen believed that a moving assembly line would make car assembly faster, simpler, and easier. The experiments consisted of tying a rope to a Model N chassis and pulling it across the factory's third floor on skids until its axles and wheels were added. The chassis would then be rolled across the floor in notches, where specific components would be attached. At least one Model N was completed at the Piquette Avenue Plant using this process. Although Henry Ford encouraged these experiments, he did not implement a formal moving assembly line at the Piquette Avenue Plant, as all of his attention was focused on getting Model T production started on time. Despite not having a moving assembly line, the Piquette Avenue Plant, aided by the usage of interchangeable parts and other production improvements, produced 101 completed cars in a single day on June 4, 1908, an auto industry record at the time.

The first production Model T was completed at the Piquette Avenue Plant on September 27, 1908. On May 1, 1909, due to overwhelming demand, Ford Motor Company stopped taking Model T orders for two months. To satisfy the unprecedented demand for the Model T, the company moved most of its car production activity to the new, larger Highland Park Ford Plant in Highland Park, Michigan, by January 1910. The company completely vacated the Piquette Avenue Plant by October 1910. The concept of using a moving assembly line to manufacture cars would be fully implemented at the Highland Park Ford Plant, starting on October 7, 1913. Over 15 million Model T's would eventually be built, and the first 14,000 made in the United States were assembled at the Piquette Avenue Plant.

After Ford in the 20th century

The Ford Piquette Avenue Plant was sold in January 1911 to Studebaker, a major maker of various horse-drawn road vehicles since the 1850s. That same year, when the railroad spur line serving the factory was raised above street level, the loading dock behind the building was replaced with an elevated platform, level with the second floor. Also in 1911, Studebaker acquired the E-M-F Company, which owned a different car manufacturing complex on Piquette Avenue. Studebaker began to put its name on the cars formerly produced by the E-M-F Company in 1912. In 1913, the plant was one of the sites affected by the 1913 Studebaker strike, the automotive industry's first major labor strike. In 1920, Studebaker built a four-story, reinforced concrete building, known as the Studebaker Detroit Service Building, immediately west of the Piquette Avenue Plant. In 1926, the elevator-stairwell combination on the Piquette Avenue Plant's southwest side was moved slightly northwards. This enabled the Detroit Service Building to be connected to the Piquette Avenue Plant's southwest corner on the second and third floors, which created a ground-level, drive-through access point to the court between the two buildings. Also in 1926, the machinery for both of the Piquette Avenue Plant's elevators was replaced. Studebaker used the Piquette Avenue Plant for car production until 1933.

In 1936, Studebaker sold the Piquette Avenue Plant to the Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company (3M), a producer of rubber auto parts and non-adhesive paper tape. Around 1937, the powerhouse and several other small buildings previously built by Ford Motor Company west of the factory were demolished. The Cadillac Overall Company, a work clothes supplier, purchased the building in 1968. The Heritage Investment Company bought the building in 1989 and owned it until 2000. Since the early 1990s, a company named General Linen & Uniform Service has occupied part of the Piquette Avenue Plant's first floor. The Detroit Service Building next door is now used by Henry Ford Health System to store medical records. The openings that previously allowed direct access between the two buildings on the second and third floors are now sealed. The Piquette Avenue Plant still stands in spite of the decline of Detroit, which began in the mid-20th century.

Model T Automotive Heritage Complex

The Ford Piquette Avenue Plant was sold to the Model T Automotive Heritage Complex in April 2000. Model T Automotive Heritage Complex is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that has run the building as a museum since July 27, 2001. The Piquette Avenue Plant is the oldest purpose-built automotive factory building open to the public. The museum, located north of Midtown Detroit at 461 Piquette Street, attracted 31,018 visitors in 2018. It contains over 40 early automobiles built by Ford Motor Company and other Detroit-area car makers, as well as recreations of Henry Ford's office and the room where the Ford Model T was designed. One of the cars on display is Model T Serial No. 220, which was built at the factory in December 1908, and is one of the oldest surviving examples of that car model. The museum's regular operating days are Wednesdays through Sundays.

The Piquette Avenue Plant was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2002, designated as a Michigan State Historic Site in 2003, and became a National Historic Landmark in 2006. The building has also been a contributing property for the surrounding Piquette Avenue Industrial Historic District since 2004. The factory's front façade was fully restored to its 1904 appearance and revealed to the public on September 27, 2008, the 100th anniversary of the completion of the first production Model T. On August 11, 2011, Model T Automotive Heritage Complex membership chairman Tom Genova was honored with a ROSE Award from the Detroit Metro Convention & Visitors Bureau in the Volunteers category. On May 18, 2012, the Model T Automotive Heritage Complex won a NAAMY Award from the National Association of Automobile Museums in the Films and Videos category for Division I (museums with budgets less than $300,000). On November 10, 2015, the Window Restoration Team at the Piquette Avenue Plant received a MotorCities National Heritage Area Award of Excellence in the Preservation category. Around 2016, the National Park Service considered adding the Piquette Avenue Plant to a list of places in the United States eligible for UNESCO World Heritage Site status. It was ultimately not added, because it did not have enough of its original factory equipment, and because of recommendations that its nomination be expanded to include other Detroit-area Ford Motor Company sites, such as the Highland Park Ford Plant and the Ford River Rouge Complex.

Ute van der PLAATS
have been selected to participate in the 2017 spring edition of LOOT: Mad About Jewelry at the Museum of Arts and Design in New York. From April 4 through 8, 2017
'LOOT: Mad About Jewelry' Returns this Spring with 54 Artists from 21 Countries
From April 4 through 8, 2017, the Museum of Arts and Design (MAD) presents LOOT: MAD About Jewelry, the annual exhibition and sale of contemporary art jewelry. Now in its 17th edition, LOOT presents a cross-section of the most exciting cutting-edge art jewelry designs, while offering the public a rare opportunity to meet and acquire pieces directly from some of the most skilled creators in the field. A striking example of the evolving possibilities of jewelry as an art form, LOOT: MAD About Jewelry champions the vision and craftsmanship of outstanding art jewelers—most of whom have never before shown work in the United States.
This year's edition welcomes 54 artists from 21 countries, the majority of whom have never been shown in New York. All were selected by Bryna Pomp following a full year of travel and research. For the first time, LOOT will feature three artists from Iceland and one from Romania. There will also be artists from Argentina (1), Austria (2), Belgium (1), Canada (1), Denmark (3), Finland (2), France (5), Germany (4), Greece (2), Holland (1), Israel (1), Italy (5), Korea (2), Norway (1), Portugal (1), Spain (2), United Kingdom (10), and United States (6). [.....]
The 2017 presentation includes driftwood, neoprene, marble, sheer plywood, textiles, ceramic, aluminum, beading, and acrylic. A significant trend this year is the use of recycled materials, including china tableware, plastic bottles and shopping bags, and even skateboards."
This year, over two dozen artists have designed jewelry using natural forms as their subjects. Artists showcasing their nature-inspired designs include Hebe Argentieri (Argentina); Katharina Eder (Austria); Ute van der Plaats (Belgium); Aino Favén (Finland); Silke Lazarević (Germany); Guðbjörg Ingvarsdóttir (Iceland); Mario Salvucci (Italy); Sowon Joo (Korea); Sunyoung Kim (Korea); Åse-Marit Thorbjørnsrud (Norway); Raluca Buzura (Romania); Ana Hagopian (Spain); Jane Adam (UK); Jacqueline Clarke (UK); Olivia Creber (UK); and Iradj Moini (USA). Visitors will meet Finnish artist Inni Pärnänen, who makes floral designs using sheer plywood, and English artist Rie Taniguchi, whose jewelry depicts animals and birds. Fellow English jewelry artist Olivia Creber uses molten metal with minerals, while French artist Delphine Nardin uses sea glass, gold, and silver to design jewelry inspired by the ocean. And Icelandic artist Helga Mogensen uses driftwood and visible threads to create unique statement necklaces. »
THE LOOT ACQUISITION PRIZE
Awarded by a jury, the LOOT Acquisition Prize seeks to recognize a LOOT jewelry artist whose work reflects a maturity in artistry and concept; exhibits both a superior and experimental understanding of materials and form; and demonstrates expertise in technique and execution. The 2017 jury is chaired by William and Mildred Lasdon Chief Curator Shannon R. Stratton, Assistant Curator Barbara Paris Gifford, and LOOT Curator Bryna Pomp. The 2017 LOOT Acquisition Prize will be awarded on April 3 at the Opening Benefit dinner.

« Born in Germany and based in Brussels, Belgium, Ute van der Plaats has worked as a jewelry designer since 2009. In addition to contemporary jewelry, she has a passion for graphic design and ceramics, and her latest collection combines these three disciplines. A few years ago, she discovered porcelain—the white gold—and fell in love with it. Since then, this pure material has become the starting point in the creation process of her jewelry collections. She is attracted by its translucent white color, the fragile appearance that belies a surprisingly solid character, and the almost sensual texture of unglazed porcelain. By integrating different materials, such as 3D-printed ornaments and digitally designed images, into handcrafted porcelain creations, she translates traditional jewelry concepts into contemporary pieces. «

ARTIST HIGHLIGHTS :
Ferràn Iglesias Barón (Spain) has over 20 years of experience in goldsmithing, encompassing academic studies and written publications, teaching, and exhibitions. He is the recipient of numerous awards. Essence and meaning are two driving forces of his growth and creative process. Barón uses the interaction of different mediums and chromas to express emotion, transcending aesthetics to create a new form of beauty and appeal.
Ute van der Plaats (Belgium) integrates different materials, such as 3D-printed ornaments and digitally designed images, into handcrafted porcelain creations, thus translating traditional jewelry concepts into contemporary pieces.
Michelle Cangiano (Australia) produces limited-edition handmade contemporary jewelry and one-off pieces for private commissions. For her "Paper Cuts" collection, Cangiano draws on her painting background and employs the simple yet time-consuming technique of threading and knotting paper discs to create pieces that seem to shift and change color as they move with the wearer.
Julie Decubber (France) specializes in antique porcelain and earthenware plates, turning ordinary objects into unique jewels that explore the theme of memory. Decubber cuts and reassembles pieces in order to highlight what is precious in the ordinary, applying techniques of the jeweler, stonecutter, and potter to generate elegant and unexpected combinations.
Aino Favén (Finland) moves between art and design to explore the achievements of nature and man. Her pieces made of translucent plastic bags are subtle comments on the large trash islands floating in oceans and endangering nature and wildlife. They also serve as memorial garlands for birds and other animals who have died from eating plastic waste.
Aurélie Guillaume (Canada) is reviving the idea of narrative in enameling through a contemporary context fueled by street art, comics, pop art, and counterculture. A jeweler, enamelist, and illustrator, she begins her designs with illustrations, which through the process of enameling are given new life in the physical world as wearable objects.
Guðbjörg Ingvarsdóttir (Iceland) takes inspiration from the Icelandic wilderness. She allows her collections to continually evolve, underlining the organic process of translating concept into finished article.
Sunyoung Kim (Korea) finds inspiration in the world of plants, which though frail have a strong hold on life. She focuses on representing this strength with thin metal plates, which she processes through hammering and injection using various chasing tools.
Konrad Laimer (Italy) has defined his works through themed workshops ranging from jewelry to objects and graphics. Through installations, international workshops, and multimedia works, he transfers his concepts to various artistic mediums and locations. The Alps have become Laimer's main source of inspiration in regard to both themes and materials.
Silke Lazarević (Germany) focuses on natural materials, with the aim of expressing their inherent qualities and various potentialities. She finds inspiration in the coincidence involved in the process of working with parchment, which as a natural product follows its own logic.
Helga Mogensen (Iceland) creates neckpieces of all sorts, as well as smaller-scale works such as earrings, using driftwood in combination with thread and sterling silver. Mogensen considers the thread to represent human connection.
Iradj Moini (United States), a jewelry designer with a background in architecture, specializes in the usage of bold stones. In 2006, his jewelry was on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art as part of Iris Apfel's collection, in addition to being featured at the Louvre, where he has three pieces in the permanent collection.
Delphine Nardin (France) designs jewelry around pieces of found sea glass, rough stones formed billions of years ago, and other collected relics. She combines these found eroded treasures with 18-karat gold or silver to create completely unique, delicate, and understated pieces of wearable history, which forge new links between archaeology and modernity.
Hélène Prime (France) creates unique pieces made of horn and of leather, each adorned with semiprecious stones. All of her creations are handmade with the greatest care in Paris and produced in limited series, using metal gilded with fine gold and natural stones.

45 Many of the Jews therefore, who had come with Mary and had seen what he did, believed in him; 46 but some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done. 47 So the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered the council, and said, "What are we to do? For this man performs many signs. 48 If we let him go on thus, every one will believe in him, and the Romans will come and destroy both our holy place and our nation." 49 But one of them, Ca'iaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, "You know nothing at all; 50 you do not understand that it is expedient for you that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation should not perish." 51 He did not say this of his own accord, but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation, 52 and not for the nation only, but to gather into one the children of God who are scattered abroad. 53 So from that day on they took counsel how to put him to death. 54 Jesus therefore no longer went about openly among the Jews, but went from there to the country near the wilderness, to a town called E'phraim; and there he stayed with the disciples. 55 Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand, and many went up from the country to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves. 56 They were looking for Jesus and saying to one another as they stood in the temple, "What do you think? That he will not come to the feast?" 57 Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if any one knew where he was, he should let them know, so that they might arrest him.
Meditation: Do you allow fear or opposition to hold you back from doing God's will? Jesus set his face like flint toward Jerusalem, knowing full well what awaited him there (Luke 9:51; Isaiah 50:7). It was Jewish belief that when the high priest asked for God's counsel for the nation, God spoke through him. What dramatic irony that Caiaphas prophesied that Jesus must die for the nation. The prophet Ezekiel announced that God would establish one people, one land, one prince, and one sanctuary forever (Ezek. 37:26-28). Luke adds to Caiphas's prophecy that Jesus would gather into one the children of God who are scattered abroad. Jesus came to lay down his life for the many, but not in a foolish reckless manner so as to throw it away before his work was done. He retired until the time had come when nothing would stop his coming to Jerusalem to fulfill his Father's mission.
Augustine wrote: "The passion of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is the hope of glory and a lesson in patience. ..He loved us so much that, sinless himself, he suffered for us sinners the punishment we deserved for our sins. How then can he fail to give us the reward we deserve for our righteousness, for he is the source of righteousness? How can he, whose promises are true, fail to reward the saints when he bore the punishment of sinners, though without sin himself? Brethren, let us then fearlessly acknowledge, and even openly proclaim, that Christ was crucified for us; let us confess it, not in fear but in joy, not in shame but in glory." The way to glory and victory for us is through the cross of Jesus Christ. Are you ready to take up your cross and follow Christ in his way of victory?
"Lord, may we your disciples be ever ready to lay down our lives in conformity to your will, to willingly suffer and die for you, that we may also share in your victory and glory."

Monsoon Rains Flood South Asia
June 28, 2019JPEG
Following months of drought that parched large swaths of India, the nation and several of its neighbors are now coping with dangerous flooding. At least seven million people in India, Nepal, Bangladesh, and Pakistan have been displaced or had their lives disrupted by flooding in mid-July 2019. The culprit was heavy monsoon rains, which arrived a bit late and severe.
Thousands of villages and towns have been cut off by rising waters, as heavy rainfall between July 11-16 poured down on mountainous highlands and the lowlands. The surge of water caused landslides, swelled rivers, and made roads impassable. News media and international relief agencies have reported at least 200 deaths in the region.
The Operational Land Imager (OLI) on Landsat 8 passed over northeastern India and observed the inundated landscape through breaks in the cloud cover. The images show cities and towns in Bihar state in northeastern India, which endured some of the worst flooding. India's Assam state and the countries of Nepal and Bangladesh also have faced dire conditions, some of which are visible in this wide view of the region.
The image pairs above and below were acquired on June 28 and July 14, 2019, and were composed from a combination of infrared and visible light (OLI bands 6-5-4) in order to better distinguish water (navy and dark blue) that is out of river banks and on the floodplains. Clouds are white or cyan, and vegetation-covered land is green.
June 28 - July 14, 2019
The Brahmaputra River rose out of its banks in many locations across India and Bangladesh, and waters were still rising as of July 17. Millions of hectares of farmland were flooded. Officials were concerned about food and water supplies, as well as the potential for the spread of waterborne diseases.
