My interest in sound-centric filmmaking and the literary genre of magical realism fostered the development of my thesis film, The Oxide Incident. The film is the story of Simon, a recent divorcee and sound archivist, who discovers a mysterious reel-to-reel-audio tape that he believes may help him heal his damaged relationship with Hannah, his teenage daughter. This paper examines the influence of magical realism on the film, some of its thematic, theoretical, and conceptual ideas such as its exploration of interpersonal communication and its implications in regard to gender, as well as some of its formal strategies. It concludes with a reflection on the process, a historical note, and a glimpse at my future trajectory as a filmmaker.

Angus Maddison
Angus Maddison (1926 - 2010) was a world scholar on quantitative macroeconomic history, including the measurement and analysis of economic growth and development.
Born in 1926 in Newcastle-on-Tyne, England, Angus Maddison was Emeritus Professor at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands and Honorary Fellow of Selwyn College, Cambridge. He was educated at Cambridge, McGill, and Johns Hopkins universities, before teaching at the University of St Andrews in Scotland. His professional relationship with the OECD began even before the Organisation's birth. He was Head of the OEEC Economics Division from 1953 to 1962 when the organization became the OECD. From 1963 to 1966, he was a Fellow of the newly created OECD Development Centre. He left the Organisation in order to undertake research for the Twentieth Century Fund and Harvard University's Development Advisory Service but, by 1971, Professor Maddison was back at the OECD as Head of the Central Analysis Division, a post he retained for seven years.
Angus Maddison has been an advisor to the governments of Brazil, Ghana, Greece and Pakistan and has travelled widely in developing countries as part of his research interests. His major research interest was the assessment of the forces affecting the economic growth performance of nations, with particular emphasis on quantitative analysis in historical and comparative perspectives.
Professor Maddison is the author or co-author of 25 books and a great many articles in academic and financial journals.

We are truly honored to announce the release of our first ever paid e-book that's not a dictionary, "Chinese History: A New Manual" 5th Edition by Endymion Wilkinson. It's available right now to purchase for US$29.99 via the in-app "Add-ons" screen on our iOS and Android apps – you can also download a free demo version with the first chapter from there – and can also be bought directly from our online store.
"The most valuable English-language reference book on China anywhere" (Professor Richard Smith, Rice University).
This massive work (at 1.6 million words the length of 12 monographs), won the Prix Stanislas Julien in 2014 and in 2016, Peking University Press published it in a three-volume Chinese language edition.
Written (and even typeset!) by former EU Ambassador to China, Endymion Wilkinson, with whom we've worked directly to bring you this electronic version that includes the entire new 5th edition (2018).
NOTE: this first Pleco edition of the New Manual is missing the Name, Book, and Subject indexes from the print version, and also lacks page numbers in the Database index. We hope to add a hyperlinked version of the Subject index next year, along with support for looking up Chinese glossary headwords like 即位 from the main Pleco dictionary search interface.

Home / News / Expanding an affordable housing mission from Richmond to Petersburg
Expanding an affordable housing mission from Richmond to Petersburg
October 7, 2020 | Impact Stories
Southside Community Development and Housing Corporation (SCDHC) is a nonprofit serving Richmond and the counties of Chesterfield and Henrico.
The organization earns most of its revenue through home sales to individuals and families earning below 80% of the area median income. That means price points are typically between $160,000 and $180,000 for a new home certified by EarthCraft, a top standard for environmental stewardship in building materials, environmental use, and daily operation.
Yet in the City of Richmond, in particular, housing stock for affordable homes is in low supply due to rising property values, competition from private developers, a lack of home sites, and unpredictable grant funding.
As part of its strategic plan, SCDHC decided to invest in multifamily apartment development and management and to expand its geographic reach even further south into the Tri-Cities. For its first initiative, leaders eyed a 10-unit multifamily building at 714 High Street in Petersburg, as well as a vacant lot at the adjacent 712 High. The building at 714, located in the historic Old Towne, was renovated in January 2013 and is fully occupied, with rents ranging from $750 to $995. On the empty lot, SCDHC is raising funds to build a 12-unit multifamily apartment building that will ensure affordable rents for individuals and families.
Petersburg is one piece of the affordable housing puzzle that SCDHC looks to solve in Central Virginia and the Tri-Cities. For more than three decades, the organization has built affordable housing throughout the Richmond region and helped hundreds of families and individuals purchase homes through its HUD-approved housing-counseling program.
Due in part to the organizations' highly aligned missions, SCDHC approached VCC with its Petersburg multifamily opportunity. VCC Bank is a valued partner of the nonprofit, assisting the organization with purchasing properties and land throughout Central Virginia.
For the Petersburg project, VCC approved a loan of $586,000 to buy the 714 High Street building and the bordering development-ready lot at 712 for a total purchase price of $690,000. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, VCC also allowed the loan to be interest-only for six months, giving the borrower greater flexibility.
Petersburg has long been a city primed for revitalization, and one that has faced its share of socioeconomic challenges and setbacks — COVID-19 notwithstanding. But so many still believe in the city's potential.
SCDHC is one of them. So is Virginia Community Capital.
In addition to providing more affordable housing in the Tri-Cities, the revenue-driving Petersburg project is helping offset SCDHC's challenge of securing homebuilding sites in Richmond. The rents at 714 High, and projected rents on 712, will provide sustainable income to SCDHC in the years to come.
SCDHC also goes beyond constructing and operating buildings. In Richmond, for example, the nonprofit offers financial counseling and a new homebuyer orientation service to income-qualified individuals, as well as employment, financial, and benefits coaching. They have an ample pipeline of income-qualified home buyers and are building a community of townhomes. SCDHC is also a general partner in a low-income housing project in Sandston, known as Sandston Seniors.
VCC has also long been active in Petersburg and its Old Towne District.
This year, Tri-Cities region-focused nonprofit The Cameron Foundation renewed a $1 million loan and deposit account with VCC. The funds are being deployed into the Tri-Cities area. A similar 2017 investment directly increased VCC loan activity in the Tri-Cities, too. From 2017 to the end of the first quarter of 2020, VCC leveraged the foundation's initial $1 million to make loans in Chester and Petersburg totaling $5.5 million — creating 52 new housing units and 27 jobs.
VCC is also a partner with Petersburg developer Dave McCormack, helping fund his Trapezium Brewing Company. The brewery created a lively, vibrant gathering place and gave new life to a vacant building. It also attracted residents and visitors to Old Towne Petersburg while creating jobs and revenue for the city.
In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, VCC made four Paycheck Protection Program loans totaling $125,325 in the Tri-Cities. These loans saved 12 jobs and included one nonprofit, one woman-owned, one minority-owned, and one veteran-owned organization.
VCC provided in-kind technical assistance to support the Petersburg Economic Development Authority throughout 2018 and 2019 in meetings and workshops focused on improving access to healthy foods in the region.
The United Nations created 17 global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that aim to eradicate poverty and deprivation, grow our economies, protect our environment, and promote peace and good governance. These SDGs best align with VCC, and our mission to positively impact communities.
The SCDHC loan aligns with SDGs 1 and 11.


A singer and a dancer compete for the affections and services of a woman they want as their partner.
Directed by Mark Sandrich, "Holiday Inn" is a musical comedy about two men who regularly battle for the affection of the same woman. It stars Bing Crosby as Jim Hardy, a singer who is tired of being on the road 365 days a year. He buys a farm in the hopes of a simpler life and is expecting his fiance Lila, played by Virginia Dale, to join him. She, however, has other plans, which involve staying with Jim's soon-to-be former partner Ted Hanover, played by Fred Astaire, whom she has been having an affair with, and so they can continue working together. Jim shakes off the betrayal and heads up to his farm, but finds the work far more taxing than he expected. He decides to convert his farm into an inn that is only open on holidays. He plans to perform there and hires a singer/dancer named Linda Mason, played by Marjorie Reynolds, who soon becomes his fiance. Things are going swimmingly until Ted shows back up again looking to recruit Jim's fiance for his act and steal her away for himself.
This is often listed as a Christmas movie, which is why we watched it during this holiday's marathon. However, this is more of a 'holiday in general' movie. Though it does begin and end on Christmas, it also covers New Years Eve, Valentine's day, Lincoln's Birthday, Washington's Birthday, Easter, Independence Day, and Thanksgiving. Jim's Holiday Inn has a special performance each holiday, including a performance of a song titled "Abraham" with Bing, Marjorie and all the back up performers in blackface. In 2016, needless to say, it's extremely jarring to be poking along a film's run time and all of a sudden, BAM!, minstrel show, but we guess those were the times???? (Not to excuse it...it's still pretty jarring within the plot as well and brings the movie to a screeching halt). Still, it does certainly date the film to have a sincere blackface performance that goes on for far too long. At its core, "Holiday Inn" is really little more than a series of song and dance numbers strung together with a loosely constructed love triangle to fill in the gaps. None of the relationships seem all that genuine. It's almost laughable with how easily these women switch fiancés on a whim, and how quickly the men fall in love with any woman who makes a halfway decent performance partner. Jim also gets over being betrayed by his friend on multiple occasions very, very quickly because real life! In this world, it doesn't seem possible to have a song and dance partner without them being a romantic interest.
As we mentioned, "Holiday Inn" covers a vast time span of holidays, so the Christmas segments are kept short to make room for everything else. This movie is more about the singing and dancing, though, and those performances are entertaining for the most part. It's always fun to watch Fred Astaire, Virginia Dale, Marjorie Reynolds, and Bing Crosby do their thing. We know some readers will call us "triggered" for mentioning the blackface performance, but we have to be honest, it was extremely jarring to see from a movie in 1942.
Last Christmas, we were watching: "The Santa Clause 2"
Two Christmases ago, we were watching: "Fred Claus"
Three Christmases ago, we were watching: "Home Alone 2: Lost in New York"

Machine Head's Robb Flynn reunited with stolen Dimebag guitar
By Stef Lach
Guitar given to Machine Head's Robb Flynn by late Pantera star was stolen six years ago and has been recovered in a storage unit auction
Robb Flynn with Holly Cherry and the Dimebag guitar
Robb Flynn has been reunited with a precious guitar gifted to him by Dimebag Darrell – six years after it was stolen from his home.
The Machine Head frontman was given the Washburn Dimebolt guitar by the Pantera guitarist onstage at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago in 1997.
But it was stolen, along with three other guitars, during a break-in at Flynn's home and he's been on a quest to get it back ever since.
His prayers were answered when Holly Cherry found the Dimebag guitar – along with an Epiphone prototype that was also stolen – in a storage until that she won via an online auction for just $10.
Flynn says: "I was pretty devastated when it gone stolen from my house when it got robbed six years ago.
"Thank you so much. This came back to me. Dime's looking out, somehow."
Dimebag: The Real Deal
Dimebag: The Prodigy
Dimebag: The Brother
Dimebag: The Bandmate
Cherry explains she had no idea how significant the find was, until a friend noticed Flynn's name written on the neck of the Epiphone.
She says: "When you buy a storage unit you are always looking for the Holy Grail. The Mona Lisa, the Hope Diamond – you're rifling through junk. I bought it for $10, there was no other bids on it.
"It looked like car parts, there were boxes of rims in the picture but when I got there, they were empty. Behind the boxes there was two guitars.
"I brought them to check with some friends to see if they could help me out."
Flynn adds: "I'd like to thank Holly Cherry for being so amazing throughout this entire process. She truly is an outstanding human being."
Machine Head released their latest album Bloodstone & Diamonds in 2014. Dimebag Darrell Abbott was killed onstage with his band Damageplan in 2004 when he was shot by former Marine Nathan Gale.

It's Wednesday again and time for our weekly "Ask The PeeMan" segment. Rodents seem to be coming up a lot this time of year. The PeeMan has the answer.
I have a question regarding the Coyote PeeShots . I'm looking at them for a basement style room with a large sliding door that opens onto a driveway. It's a fairly busy beach area, and we have rats! Our organization works with children, so this is a no go! The description says that they are "long-lasting," and I'm wondering how long that typically is. Please let me know what the average length of use is.
At least a month. 2 months or more if there isn't much air circulation in the placement area – like under a sink.
Q. I came across your site through a company called "Solutions". I have had an issue with having mice enter my house over the past 2-4 years. I am not sure of their entry point BUT I really would like to deter them from entering at all !!!
My house is small, 984 sq. feet….. full basement below, attached garage with door leading to back patio. I am wondering how much of the bobcat or coyote urine I would need to protect my home throughout the winter season. Also, where should I place the deterrents? I do have dogs in the home, so I am also wondering what their response will be to this product.
Thank you for contacting the PeeMan. If you have mice already in your home, use our Bobcat PeeShots for indoor use.

I had a terrible problem. At least 4 mice. So, I had someone come in and we find gaps. Sealed up. I do have the predator stuff. I have not seen Mickey for awhile. Today, I was cleaning and I found "droppings". Would spraying also keep them away. I live in NYC apt. These little suckers can squeeze thru a dime. It is impossible to seal or find all the little cracks. The spray also sounds good, but, leaving rags??? Do you have something I could just spray on counters. .

Ilford Recorder > News
Bereaved Newbury Park couple offer help to those who are grieving
Edwina Ellington
A COUPLE who tragically lost their son eight months ago in an accident have opened a bereavement centre to help others cope with their loss.
Kevin Richards was 33 when he was knocked over in April on his motorbike on the A13 while learning routes to became a black cab driver.
His parents, Alf and Beverley Richards, both 62, say they have still not come to terms with his death, despite their attempts to help others in bereavement.
Mr Richards, of Glencoe Avenue, Newbury Park, said: "To see a healthy man lost like that is not something we can come to terms with.
"On the morning he lost his life, he had been for a medical for his new job, and passed with flying colours, that's what we just can't understand." Kevin left two daughters, Kira, eight, and Kenadie, two, while training for his new job, which he had set out to get so he could spend more time with his family.
The centre, in Islington, North London, has been named the The Kevin Richards Foundation Centre, in Kevin's memory.
The bereaved are able to get help using the internet, as well as friendship, advice and a home cooked meal.
Speaking about their son, who was spending much time at home before he died, Mr Richards said: "He could not stay away from his mum's cooking! He was very community minded and always giving something back, he was a cub scout and in the Boy's Brigade from age four.
After the official opening ceremony last month (December), the couple have has a small but steady turn out of parents who have lost children, but say they want to branch out to all communities and anyone who has lost a loved one, not just a parent.
Mrs Richards said: "We have two couples who attend at the moment that have lost children to discuss their emotions, but we want to welcome anyone who is going through a bereavement, regardless of age of religion.
The couple have not ruled out an Ilford expansion to the London centre, depending on the success of the sessions.
To find out about the sessions, contact Beverley Richards on 07903295056.

SEC – Five Things We Learned – Post-Cross Conference Games
21st June 2019 Author	0 Comments 5 things we learned, Highlight, Premier Division, Review, SEC, UK
Separation Gained
The Buttonhookers are at 7-0 after defeating every team from the SWC. Truthfully, they were never really threatened – a shaky first half against the Hurricanes was cause for concern but they came through as 39-27 winners.
They've got hosting duties next on the 29th, and their big game against the London Smoke will either almost certainly give them the division, or let the Smoke back in. That's because…
Smoke Slip Up
The London Smoke have suffered their first loss in the BAFA leagues at the hands of the Cardiff Hurricanes. Now there's no shame in losing to the former Britbowl champions, but this will definitely feel like a game that got away from the Smoke. Their defence was humiliated, allowing 41 points, while QB Charlie Williams struggled with the rangy blitz from the Hurricanes.
They went 4-1 in cross-division play, but with the Buttonhookers staying perfect, they've got to fight back on the field if they want to snatch the #1 seed in the South.
Rebels in Peril
The Rebels looked to have bowed out of the three-way dance at the top as their tumultuous first cross-conference game-day saw them drop two games in shocking fashion.
Again, we're not saying that the Hurricanes should be taken lightly, and actually in France we're not all that surprised that Cardiff overcame Calvin and co. But the manner of the loss, two clear scores in a 34-18 triumph, has us worried about the Rebels this year. You add that to the 39-28 upset loss to the Titans and suddenly you have seriously cause for concern.
Their wins weren't overly emphatic either. They beat up on the Phantoms, but a one-score loss against the Aylesbury Vale Spartans doesn't fill you with confidence. At 4-3, they're two clear games behind the London Smoke who sit in second, and three games behind the Buttonhookers. While there's definitely time to catch up, the teams ahead look red hot.
They've got bigger things to worry about than just their status in the SEC. That loss to the Northants Titans Blue could be unbelievably costly. There's three games that the Rebels could conceivably lose coming up, which, at best, would have them at 7-6. If the Titans win out, they'll also be 7-6. That head-to-head loss might end up with the Rebels sitting outside of Britbowl altogether…
Relegation Race
The Victoria Park Panthers and Reading Lions are tied at the bottom of the table at 3-5, with VPP holding the head-to-head so far after their 51-19 win over the Lions earlier this year. Both teams suffered shock losses in the cross-conference games, as VPP lost two winnable games against the Spartans and Blackhawks.
The Reading Lions meanwhile lost disappointingly to the Spartans also, who have been struggling this year. However their win over the Titans Blue has them pulling level with VPP.
VPP might just have the inside lane to survive with the H2H in their back pocket, but either team should get themselves ready for a potential relegation showdown.
Big Bowl Hangovers?
At Big Bowl this year, 4/5 of the teams in the SEC took part. The Buttonhookers or Rebels didn't seem to show any ill effects, with the Rebels actually doing better after their trip to Frankfurt. However the London Smoke, who had a gruelling Saturday and Sunday, looked lacking during their loss to the Cardiff Hurricanes. They weren't their usual self vs the Titans Blue either…
It was VPP who suffered the most coming back from Germany. While they can celebrate coming 20th overall after a fantastic Sunday at the tournament, they went 0-2 in the league action a week later. Do these long trips to tournaments cause your league form to suffer? Or should something be learned from the perennial tournament teams, such as the Rebels and Buttonhookers?

"On a Roll" | I've been thinking of a conversation I had recently with another artist who was feeling frustrated that others were creating their same ideas. Sometimes it feels like nothing original is left, and that everything you want to do is already being done (and maybe done better?) by others around you. Today I was reading my new favorite book, "Big Magic" by Elizabeth Gilbert (have you read it yet? wow! so many great ideas to encourage living a creative life), and she said this, "The older I get, the less impressed I become with originality. These days, I'm far more moved by authenticity. Attempts at originality can often feel forced and precious, but authenticity has quiet resonance that never fails to stir me. Just say what you want to say, then, and say it with all your heart. Share whatever you are driven to share. If it's authentic enough, believe me-- it will feel original." Amen!


Stay up all night reading? Tell us about your favorite books.
@thisashleytaylor i do like books based on true stories so Refugee just might be "THE" book. Thank you for the suggestion!
@radicalrye Are you into books that are based on true stories? If you are, I highly recommend Refugee by Alan Gratz.
Thank you for the suggestions @b00kw0rm!
I have never been a big reader mainly because i cant find much thats interests me other than American girl books and little house on the prairie books but i read those a gazillion times so i need some new options.So do any of you know of some books that could get me more interested into reading? thank you!


Valentine's Day is best known as a celebration of love in all its forms. Pink hearts, red roses, and cute greeting cards adorn every surface that you see. What many people don't realize is that the modern Valentine's Day celebration actually arose from a religious holiday!
St. Valentine's Day was originally celebrated as a religious feast day in honor of early Christian martyrs. The martyrs named Valentine were honored: a priest in Rome, the persecuted bishop of Interamna, which is a town in central Italy, and a saint martyred in Africa.
The origin of Valentine's Day as a holiday for sweethearts actually began with Geoffrey Chaucer in his 1382 poem. As the poet wrote, "For this was on Saint Valentine's Day, when every bird cometh there to choose his mate," and the modern day romantic holiday was born. Shakespeare and many other writers have also mentioned Valentine's Day as a day of love.
Today, over $1 billion chocolates are sold in our country alone, with heart-shaped boxes accounting for 35 million of those purchased. And, on Valentine's Day itself, florists sell nearly 200 million stems of roses!
Although many people dismiss Valentine's Day as a commercialized "Hallmark holiday," it is beloved to couples and romantics across the United States and other countries. No matter what your celebratory plans may be this February 14th, may it truly be a wonderful day to celebrate the loved ones in your life! Happy Valentine's Day from all of us at Thomas Family Dentistry!

« The Importance of Our New Name: Partnership With Native Americans
What Our 100-Day Supply Drive Means to Our Native Partners »
Honoring the Navajo Code Talkers
By Murray Lee for PWNA | Published: August 11, 2015
Navajo Code Talkers Day is on August 14 each year, and as we approach that date, we are thankful for their service and humbled by their sacrifices. We are also honored to work with the Navajo Nation to provide immediate relief and support long-term solutions for strong, self-sufficient Native American communities.
Marking the date of Japan's surrender and the end of World War II, August 14 was officially designated Navajo Code Talkers Day in Arizona in 2014 when then-Governor Jan Brewer ceremoniously signed a bill that passed in the State House and Senate.
1940 Code Talkers. (NAU.PH.413.1223. Phillip Johnston Collection. Spec. Collections & Archives, Cline Library, Northern AZ Univ.)
It has been almost 70 years to the day that World War II ended, and in that time, all 29 of the original Navajo Code Talkers have passed away. These brave men – some of them just boys at the time – were recruited by the U.S. Marines to develop an undecipherable wartime code using their native Navajo language. This code was critical in a number of campaigns and helped save thousands of lives.
It wasn't until 1968, however, when the program was declassified that the Code Talkers could honestly and openly share all they had done. In fact, when they returned home from the war, the Code Talkers were not allowed to say what they had done or share the significant role they played in the victory of World War II. This was a challenging time for these men, initially being told they were crucial to the U.S. Marines, then being told they couldn't speak a word when they got home.
Finally, in the year 2000, the 29 original Code Talkers were awarded gold Congressional Medals. While none of the "original 29" are still with us, their legacy and stories live on in a number of museum exhibits, articles, videos and interviews, and in the stories passed down by their families.
This Navajo Code Talkers Day, in their honor, please take a moment to reflect on the significant contribution they made to our country and our freedom.

How to Pray Like an Indo-European
As Cosmotheists, we still honor the traditions of our ancient ancestors, and gain insight from their view of the divine.
by Survive the Jive
WHERE SHOULD you conduct prayers and rituals? What can you sacrifice at a blót and what libations can be poured? What should you say in a prayer and which god do you invoke?
I answer these questions and explain the tripartite format of Indo-European prayer with reference to Sigrdrífumál and the cycle of reciprocal gift giving. I also show you what my shrine and idols look like and how I make an offering to them.
Religion is defined as "a set of beliefs…usually involving devotion and ritual observances…" (Random House Dictionary). The rituals of the Indo-European religions are often overlooked but they are very widely described in many places in the individual languages. Also about a billion Hindus maintain their ancient rituals every day: they still remember. The study of Indo-European (IE) linguistics allows for a theoretical reconstruction of some of the original Proto-Indo-European rituals by showing the common religious meanings of some Proto-Indo-European (PIE) words. In a few cases it is thought possible to reconstruct the actual wording of ancient ritual texts, or at least the more formal ones because of the mnemonic qualities of verse. This more technical approach is the most valuable method for reconstructing Proto-Indo-European religion.
In the past, many Indo-European rituals have been reconstructed based on comparative religion studies, including descriptions from folklore and from ancient literature, however much of this work had a political or religious agenda. Nevertheless the multiple descriptions provide a picture and a confirmation of the practice which can properly be reconstructed from linguistic analysis. More recently, modern archaeologists have described many sites which have religious elements that can be analyzed (as well as finding many new inscriptions) and these have provided a welcome correction to the loose speculation that was published in the past. More professional standards of analysis of religion (with less bigotry) have also been developed in anthropological studies. See for example, pp. 229-232, Schultz and Lavenda, (Cultural Anthropology, A Perspective on the Human Condition, by Emily A. Schultz and Robert H. Lavenda, Mayfield Publishing Co., Mountain View, CA, 1995; abbrev. S&L); and p. 344-382, Haviland (Cultural Anthropology by William A. Haviland, Harcourt Brace Jovanovich College Publishers, NY, 1993). #arta
An example of the worst of the earlier type of analysis is provided by Émile Benveniste who states that "there is no common term to designate religion itself, or cult, or the priest, no[r] even one of the personal Gods" pp. 445-6. He then provides the first example of what he says does not exist: the root *ŗta-, usually translated as 'order', and reconstructed from Vedic Sanskrit Ŗta, and Iranian Arta 'order' which provide both an abstract word, and the name of a Goddess. This root also provides the Sanskrit forms ŗta-van (masc.), and ŗta-vari (fem.); and Iranian forms artavan (masc.), and artavari (fem.), all meaning 'the one who is faithful to arta, who is morally accomplished' which are common types of formations for those who assist at rituals (e.g., priests and priestesses). Having dismissed the possibility that the Indo-Europeans could have had any basic religious concept, Benveniste states, "We have here one of the cardinal notions of the legal world of the Indo-Europeans to say nothing of their religious and moral ideas" (Benveniste, pp. 379-381). He also adds that an abstract suffix -tu formed the Vedic stem Ŗtu-, Avestan ratu- which designated order, particularly in the seasons and periods of time and which appears in Latin ritus 'rite' borrowed into English as 'rite(s), ritual(s).' The same root, sometimes given as *hrta, appears as -ratri, the element in many names of festivals in India such as Shivaratri, the festival of the celebration of the marriage of Shiva. In modern Hindi, ārties (aarties) are special hymns which are sung at the end of an offering to make sure the rites come out correctly; many of these are given in Snatan Daily Prayer. Another suffix -ti gives Latin ars, artis 'the technique for doing something', and is borrowed into English as 'art.' This is one of the most widely attested words and most widely deified Goddesses among the Indo-Europeans. For many more examples, see p. 710, G&I which gives *ar-(tho-) 'fit, correspond, unite', with Hittite forms ara, UL ara, and DAra 'Good, Right', a Hittite Goddess; also pp. 56, 57, Pokorny and *Haér(tis) on p. 362, EIEC.
A list of reconstructed Proto-Indo-European religious terms is provided by Lyle Campbell (pp. 391-392, Historical Linguistics, An Introduction, MIT Press, Cambridge, Mass., 2004), for which he credits Michael Weiss. Campbell gives only the bare root and a translation; wherever possible, I have added page numbers from the Encyclopedia of Indo-European Culture (abbreviated EIEC), which amplifies the information and gives some of the words in various languages, and also from Gamkrelidze and Ivanov (abbreviated G&I) who use a different type of phonetic reconstruction but also give many examples. My comments are in brackets.
*isH1ro 'holy' [*eisH1ro, p. 702, G&I]
*sakro- 'holy' (derived from *sak- 'to sanctify') [p. 493, EIEC; p. 702, G&I]
*kywen(to)- 'holy' [p. 493, EIEC; p. 702, G&I]
*noibho- 'holy' [p. 493, EIEC]
*preky– 'pray' [see perky 'ask, ask for in marriage' p. 33 EIEC, but except in Latin, the use seems to be limited to a non-religious sense]
*meldh– 'pray' [p. 449, EIEC; p. 703, G&I; see pray, prayer below.]
*gwhedh– 'pray' [p. 449, EIEC]
*H1wegwh– 'speak solemnly'; [*uegwh–, p. 449, EIEC; p. 704, G&I]
*ĝheuHx– 'call, invoke' (perhaps English 'God' from *ĝhū-to- from 'that which is invoked', but derivation from *ĝhu-to-'libated' from *ĝheu- 'libate, pour' is also possible), [p. 89, EIEC; see invoke, invocation below.]
*kowHxei- 'priest, seer/poet' [p. 451, EIEC]
*Hxiaĝ- 'worship' [*yak' p. 704fn, G&I]
*weik- 'consecrate' (earlier meaning perhaps 'to separate'), [*ueik-, p. 493, EIEC; p. 29, Grimm]. This is the origin of the word Wicca, by the way.
*sep- 'handle reverently' [p. 450, EIEC]
*spend- 'libate' [*sphent'- pp. 608, 708, G&I]
*ĝheu- 'libate' and *ĝheu-mņ 'libation' (but see *ĝheuHx– above.)
*dapnom 'sacrificial meal' from *dap-. [See daps below.]
*tolko/eH2– 'meal' (at least late PIE) [p. 496, EIEC]
*nemos 'sacred grove' (used in west and center of the IE world) [némes- p. 248, EIEC]
*werbh– 'sacred enclosure'
Following are some elements of Proto-Indo-European ritual that can be reconstructed based on linguistic analysis. This is by no means all of them, these are just the ones I have gotten around to writing up at this time.
Ancestor Cult
Anthropologists list Ancestral Spirits as one of the types of supernatural beings and they are "seen as retaining an active interest in human society" p. 348-350, Haviland. Called *patri- > Patris or Patrikas (e.g. 'fathers, little fathers', p. 194-5, EIEC) and *mater > Matris or Matrikas (e.g. 'mothers, little mothers', p. 385-6, EIEC) both with diminutive endings in various cognate forms, they were worshiped among all the Indo-Europeans. Generally, people do this by going to grave sites and offering food, flowers and lighted lamps or candles. The Indo-Europeans worshiped their own parents as a community at regular times of the year, especially in May and November.
The "honored dead" were assumed to persist in any location and were also worshiped in the same way under the name *Mannus, e.g. Latin Di Manes and many cognate forms in other languages. A more personal variation of this ritual was the commemoration of lost comrades by soldiers which was very widespread among the Romans, and celebrated as the Rosalia, approximately May 1st.#food
Food Offerings
A sacrificial offering or oblation of roasted barley is reconstructed based on *bhrekyh-, giving Old Latin ferctum 'sacrificial cake made of barley, honey and butter', Oscan fertalis 'ritual ceremony involving sacrificial cakes'. An offering is also reconstructed from words for 'fire' such as *nk'ni- giving Sanskrit agní 'sacred fire' Greek agōn- 'contest, games (a very common type of offering)' and Latin agneus 'roast offering, lamb.' Gamkrelidze and Ivanov argue that these sets of forms show a common Proto-Indo-European ritual with some replacements, p. 604-605. Certainly a ritual offering using fire can be reconstructed on comparative religion grounds because it is explicitly described in Latin, Sanskrit, Hittite, and Greek.
In the case of an animal killed for an offering, the point was not to cause suffering to the animal, but to have something to eat. This process was disturbing to the Indo-Europeans however, and they expressed this through the ritual by personifying the animal. This appears in the Myth of Yama, the first animal to die and in rituals and festivals related to this myth such as the Greek Bouphonia Festival, the Roman Poplifugia and the Festival of Romulus and the Latvian Apjumibas Festival. #daps
A Daps is a Feast, or Ritual Food offered to a Deity as a sacred act to encourage the Gods and Goddesses to do something. Worshipers often celebrate with a communal feast, p. 231-232, S&L, but a daps has the distinctive feature that a special "seat" is provided for the Gods and Goddesses at the feast. Detailed descriptions of how to put one on are given in Sanskrit, Avestan, Greek and Latin. This is a very archaic type of festival; in the earliest descriptions, straw was spread on the ground for the ancestors or Gods and Goddesses to sit on, since apparently there was no furniture available, or it hadn't been invented yet. In Latin, the older form is described by Cato in De Agri Cultura, a book on how to farm, and since he specifically says it's necessary to propitiate the Gods and Goddesses in order to produce good crops, he tells how to do a daps.
By the late classical period, a daps in Greek and Roman tradition had become an excuse for an elaborate and expensive party like a "New York Charity Gala" and an entire book is preserved on the subject called the Deipnosophists, which tells what foods were served and even gives recipes. We also know the ritual song in Latin since there is a daps for St. Agnes sung at Eastertide, according to the St. Gregory Hymnal. The feast is reconstructed as *dapnom 'sacrificial meal' from *dap-. Forms include: Greek dapáne, with the perideipnon, a traditional banquet at the grave of a loved one; Latin daps 'ceremonial (cultic) table; food, meal, feast,' Armenian tawn 'feast' and Old Icelandic tafn 'sacrificial animal, sacrificial food'. Related words are Tocharian A. tāpal 'food' and Hittite LUtappala- 'person responsible for court cooking' (p. 606, G&I; p. 323ff and p. 484, Benveniste; p. 496, EIEC). There is an excellent discussion of the Theoxenia 'feast of the Gods' in Ancient Greek Cult Practice from the Epigraphical Evidence, ed. by Robin Hagg, Svenska Institutet i Athen, Stockholm, 1994.
Speech Offerings
Offerings to Gods and Goddesses in the form of speech (prayer, praise, song and story) are common to all people according to anthropologists. The Indo-Europeans had several words for "speech offerings" which can be reconstructed to Proto-Indo-European including verbs that mean invoke, pray, sing and words formed from them by a regular process. #invoke
To invoke, invocation
The Indo-Europeans invoked Gods and Goddesses using the word *ĝheuHx– 'call, invoke' with forms in nine language groups (p. 89-90, EIEC; p. 413-4, Pokorny). To invoke someone is to "call them in" and this was done at the beginning of any religious ritual where it was hoped that the deities would participate or at least listen. There is a regular construction of an agent noun from this verb using a *-tar suffix ("the one who does X"), which produces words for 'invoker' in four language groups, and makes up one of the standard words for priests and priestesses among the Indo-Europeans. Examples would be godhi in Old Norse, Sanskrit hotra and Avestan zaothra. There are many other words of similar structure.
Vocative is the grammatical term for a noun case used in addressing persons or beings not present, and it is reconstructed to the Proto-Indo-European noun case system. For example, the Greek vocative form Deo is usually translated into English with the particle "O" as in "O Goddess…" Whenever the vocative is used, it indicates that the speaker has personified the object of address, as opposed to merely referring to an abstract concept. To clarify with an example, many Americans refer to "Mother Nature" as if she were a powerful being, especially after a hurricane, but they do not normally address her directly as "O Mother Nature…" which would indicate that they were worshiping her. This distinction is important because it shows whether a certain deity was actually worshiped, or if she is just a poetic metahphor or a figment of the imagination of the many authors who have tried to reconstruct Proto-Indo-European religion in such a way as to support their own agendas.
The Indo-Europeans often use patri 'father' and matri 'mother' (or similar forms) after the name of a deity. There is a list of these in Roman sources: Iane pater (Janus), Liber pater, Mars pater or Marspiter, Neptunus pater, Saturnus pater, Dispater, Deus Patri, Jupiter and Vediovis pater, all listed in the CIL books. This appositive has the force of a vocative, and it seems to be especially used when a request is being made, as if the speaker expected to be able to make a special appeal to his or her own parents, and they might feel obligated to respond as to a son or daughter. #pray
Pray, Prayer
One widespread word used by the Indo-Europeans is reconstructed as *meldh– 'pray while offering sacrifice, offer prayerful words to Gods.' This is based on Hittite maldai 'prayer, solemnly promise the Gods to offer a sacrifice,' maldessar 'prayer, invocation'; OHG meldon 'communicate, report'; German melden; and Old Norse -mal 'poem, tale' a suffix in titles of mythological poems in the Elder Edda. Other forms include Old Church Slavonic moliti 'pray'; Old Russian molit' 'pray while making a sacrifice,' Czech modla 'idol, temple'; Lithuanian meldziu '(I) pray,' malda 'prayer'; and Armenian malt'em '(I) pray' (p. 703-4, G&I; p. 722, Pokorny; p. 449, EIEC).
General Pattern for Prayers
Mallory and Adams observe that there is a formulaic pattern reconstructable from the earliest attested prayers (p. 450 EIEC, basing their work on Benveniste, pp. 499-507 and ultimately on Dumézil). The pattern shows 1) invocation, 2) basis, which is the justification for a request (typically: you have helped us before) and then 3) the request often with an imperative verb at the end. They give several examples; this one is from Cato (De Agri Cultura, 1:132; the Latin original is quoted from M. P. Cato on Agriculture):
Jupiter Dapalis (invocation), forasmuch as it is fitting that a cup of wine be offered thee, in my house and in the midst of my people, for thy sacred feast; and to that end (basis), be thou honored by the offering of this food request).Iuppiter dapalis, quod tibi fieri oportet in domo familia mea culignam vini dapi, eius rei ergo macte had illace dape pollucenda esto.
The preceding example is described as a request, but many Indo-European rituals consist of giving thanks, and singing songs of praise, especially at regular yearly festivals. In fact, the request here, as in most examples is that the Deity accept the offering! Community celebrations are a major part of all Indo-European religions, and they certainly make up the most easily reconstructable part of Proto-Indo-European religion. [fuggle26]
The Indo-European ritual practice was highly variable over a very wide area (Ireland to India) and a very long period of time (6000 years), and was quite flexible in accord with the needs of the people. Nevertheless, it is possible to reconstruct many rituals to their original Proto-Indo-European form, using both linguistic and comparative methodologies, in conjunction with archaeological data and modern religious practice.

Love, dating and Islam: An ISM imam addresses Muslim youth
Posted by Sandra Whitehead | Feb 11, 2020 | Featured
Dating is the norm in America and that is a challenge for Muslim youth, Br. Ameer Hamza recently told an overflow crowd of mostly teenagers at the Islamic Center of Milwaukee.
More than 100 youth attended Hamza's Friday evening program "Falling in Love & Dating: Navigating Gender Relations in Islam," Jan. 24, at the ISM, 4704 S. 13th St. Milwaukee. Hamza is an imam whose role is to work with teenagers, college students, millennials, and young professionals. Hamza spoke about the reasons for avoiding America's casual dating scene and answered questions his audience sent by text anonymously.
The lessons of Islam
Muslim youth should not "date," spending one-to-one time together alone to get to know each other as a step toward marriage, said Hamza. "(The Muslim youth) ask me, 'What's the big deal?'
"Our religion says when it comes to a physical relationship between a guy and a girl, it is not allowed except in the framework of marriage," Hamza said. "And not only Islam; Judaism and Christianity also teach this.
"We all know the rules. A lack of knowledge is not the issue," he said. The problem is found in the gray areas, like "what if we just hang out?" Hamza recommends "disengaging from the gray areas."
The first thing to understand, Hamza said, is that "when God makes something halal or haram, it is for your benefit. The only things God makes haram are inherently harmful. Memorize this equation: haram = harmful," he told the youth.
"God is genuinely looking out for your interests; Allah wants to lighten your burden," Hamza said. "What burden? The burden of broken hearts, the burden of toxic relationships, the burden of unrealistic expectations, the burden of unrealistic beauty standards."
Islam teaches that Muslims should not "come near fornication," said Hamza. "Why does he say, 'Don't come near'? Because it is a process. It starts with swiping right. Then there is the first meal, the first movie, the first kiss. It is a process. Don't get on the ladder.
"Sisters tell me, 'I'm not in it for that stuff. If we are going to be private together, we know our limits. Why can't we be in a private setting?"
The answer, according to Hamza, lies in the different "psychology between guys and girls. Girls are craving relationship, a feeling of being loved, of being cherished. For girls, relationship comes first; sexuality comes later.
"As for the guys, and don't you even dare pretend," he said, pointing to the side of the hall filled with boys and young men, "you know that for you, relationship comes later; desires come first.
"Girls make the mistake of thinking if she gives the guy what he wants, he will give her what she wants. That actually never happens."
Hamza compared the rules of Islam to seatbelts on a rollercoaster. "The guy behind you doesn't buckle his seatbelt. He says, 'Lighten up. Why do you have to be so strict?' But who is in real danger here?"
Casual sex and its consequences
The real issue, said Hamza, is "the harm God is protecting us from. The toxic nature of casual sex and dating culture is out of control. When you disregard God's rules, it has severe side effects."
Consequences include children born out of wedlock, in some cases not knowing their fathers, high divorce rates and many single-parent households.
In addition, suicide rates, stress, anxiety and mental illness among teens are at all-time highs, Hamza said. One contributing factor is heartbreak of broken relationships, he said. "Heartbreaks are inevitably going to occur."
For more about the current situation of today's youth, Hamza recommends two books: Boys Adrift and Girls on Edge, both by psychologist and family medicine provider Leonard Sax, Ph.D., M.D.
Dating in America starts at age 13, and by 15, many teenagers have had their first sexual experience, Hamza explained. "And what is the average age of marriage – 28 or 29. Having been sexually active for so long, with all that sexual variety, how are you going to settle for one person?
"Marriage is hard work. If you are used to a life with no commitments and all the benefits, how are you going to commit in a marriage? You have to build a stamina of commitment."
Questions from the youth
How can you avoid dating and smoking weed if you go to a school where that is the norm?
"Don't pretend to be super human. You are going to be like your friends, so find a good group of friends. Find a role model, a mentor. And put yourself in a grid of knowledge – attend classes, lectures, about issues."
Does halal dating exist?
"Yeah, but it may be a little awkward. It is called 'chaperone dating.' When I was in Milwaukee and my wife-to-be was in Houston, I traveled there to meet her. We'd go into the dining area. The family was all in the living room, in the vicinity."
When you are ready to get married, you can get your family involved and meet potential spouses, he added.
Any activities with the other gender should be "PPL, professional/purposeful, public and limited," like working on a school-related project with a mixed group, he added.
How can I get out of a haram relationship or a same gender relationship?
Start thinking of an exit strategy. Slowly distance yourself, take forever to respond to messages, slowly de-escalate. Get professional help. Join a support group. Up your spiritual game. Find an emotional anchor.
A word to parents
"When your teen comes to you, don't overreact to the relationship conversation. Build a relationship where they can talk to you and you can guide them."

Bitcoin tumbler is a famous method where the users are nameless and they will pay only a nominal fee for the services rendered by the mixer services. The transactions get confirmed within minutes and the users don't need to trust any particular organizations or a person. The users can get all the information with the help of black chain related to transactions. Bitcoin tumbler also safeguards the bitcoins sent from the users.
Merits of bitcoin mixing services: Bitcoin tumbler services have grabbed the attention of people across the globe. Bitcoin mixing services prevent the users from providing more information and allow them to be part of the bitcoin. While buying goods and services and while donating to charities and during the peer to peer payments, the users are forced to give their personal data such as name and address. This provides the chance for fraudulent activities and other third-party brokers to track the details and this may result in the theft of funds from the user's account. Bitcoin tumbler comes as a solution for all these problems associated with bitcoin transactions.
Best Bitcoin tumbler services: Coin Mixer is one amongst the best services of bitcoin, both on the Clearnet and dark web. Coin Mixer offers a variety of privacy features and provides a number of options for many output addresses. The bitcoin mixer service offers letters duly signed, which can be used as a means of guarantee for every completed transaction and the same can be used for tax purposes or as proof when a bitcoin is stolen or lost.
Coin Mixers offer special features for Clearnet users – a log for deleting the data after every transaction made. It is not required to provide personal information or account and the visitor's activities will not be monitored. The users have to make sure to maintain a clean new wallet address setup, which is the first step in the mixing process. In order to send the cleaned bitcoins from the mixer to the concerned person, the users have to provide the output addresses.
Privcoin.io: Privcoin.io will act as bitcoin tumbler and swapper as the users can clean their coins and can receive them in different cryptocurrency. As a part of bitcoin tumbler, the users have to fix the customs fee and it is noticed that the higher the fee would be, the chances will be higher for the coins to be denominated. With the help of time delay options, the transactions can be delayed till 24 hours and the coins can be received by the users as per the time set by them. The transactions will be processed quickly due to high reserves unless and until there is a setup in time delay.
Cryptocurrency and How does it Work?

Q: Javaee 7 SSL cipher suite I'm quite newbie in SSL certificates and cipher suites that's why I ask for help. I have a GF4 server and standalone client. Client connects to server via iiop ssl.

Ignoring unavailable cipher suite: TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA

At the same time for used certificates I see Algorithm: [SHA256withRSA]. What does it all mean? Should I add some cipher suite to GF. If yes, than which one?

A: In my situation I solved this problem because I noticed that everything works only if the client and javaee server are at the same host. That's why I understood and asked the RIGHT question and I found the answer by myself. If you are interested in it, see https://stackoverflow.com/a/24123117/2022068

Google Maps now lets you chat with businesses
Mobiles News
By Anuj Sharma - November 15, 2018
Now you'll see your messages with the businesses you connect with via Business Profiles within the Google Maps app, where you're already looking for things to do and places to go or shop.
Sending messages to businesses gives you the opportunity to ask questions without having to make a phone call so that you can order a cake for your friend's birthday while on the bus or find out if a shoe store has your size without having to wait on hold. Last year, Google rolled out the ability in select countries to message businesses from the Business Profiles on Google.
"You'll find these messages in the side menu of both Google Maps for Android and iOS. With these messages in Maps, you'll never have to worry about accidentally sending 'I love you, Mom' to that shoe store you've been sending messages to," said Google in a blog post.
Google users globally will now be able to message with businesses for the very first time. So, no matter where you are, as long as a local business has enabled messages, you'll be able to connect with them in a tap. Just look for the "message" button on Business Profiles on Google Search and Maps.
Businesses that want to accept messages from customers can install the new Google My Business app from Google Play or the App Store to sign up and enable messages.

HC questions delay in Adarsh probe completion

MUMBAI: The Bombay High Court today asked Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), which is probing Adarsh Society scam, why it was taking so long to finish the probe.
The agency today sought three months to complete the investigation, saying it was a complicated case, and there were several benami transactions which needed to be probed.
"We are not giving three months' time. How long have you been probing the matter? Have you looked into the Income Tax Dept report?" asked the division bench headed by Justice Sharad Bobade.
The court was hearing PIL filed by activist Santosh Daundkar, which has sought monitoring of the probe by the HC.
Petitioner's lawyer, advocate Ashish Mehta, said the probe was going very slow, and it had already been 15 months.
The court then directed the CBI to make a formal application for more time, giving details of progress of investigation, within two weeks.
The 31-storied Adarsh Housing Society building in the plush Colaba area here allegedly came up in breach of several civic and environmental laws.
The CBI has registered criminal case against 13 persons in the case, including former Maharashtra Chief Minister Ashok Chavan.

Charles Marsala – former mayor of Atherton, Ca., failed Senate candidate, high school classmate of Mayor Landrieu – has dedicated himself to promoting a Lost Cause version of the Confederacy, antebellum nostalgia, and bizarre interpretations of local history. As a self-proclaimed historian with no training, Marsala regularly makes basic factual errors, fails to use primary documents, trusts obviously-biased sources, and consistently ignores context in order to construct hagiographies of Lee, Davis, and even the White League.
When pressed on his views, Marsala lapses into racial stereotypes and white resentment, unable to comprehend the removal of his idols. He also has appeared on white supremacists' podcasts to describe the local monument protests as a Rothschilds-funded Marxist plot.
In March 2017, Marsala appeared on 'Coffee with Kevin.' In a brisk interview, he argued, based on the nuisance ordinance, against putting the statues back up and demonstrated a baffling view of segregation era politics.
If only Wallace, Maddox, and Barnett had known they didn't need to be segregationists we could have solved this kerfuffle sooner. Thanks, Charles!
