You too can have a lasting influence and be remembered by family and friends for your commitment to nature and its protection.
As Canadians, we are fortunate to still have vast tracts of land and water that have so far evaded development. We have this bounty of natural wealth and share our home with magnificent animals and should keep it that way.
However as our population grows, and more of us live in big cities, Canadians are losing their connection to the natural world.
We must work hard to protect our natural heritage — we must engage Canadians from coast to coast — or the generations that follow us will not know the haunting cry of a loon, see the snow-capped mountain tops, or hike through a forest of trees hearing the wind whisper through the branches.
Legacy gifts contribute to our future conservation work – helping us protect our endangered animals and habitat for the wonder of future generations.
Our vision is a future where Canada's magnificent natural heritage is preserved, explored and adored by our children, our grandchildren and for generations to come.
It is truly encouraging that our members are making gifts in their Wills for Nature Canada's important work. They recognize that we have achieved some significant gains and successes but there is more that we can do. With your legacy support, we can establish even more parks, protect more animals and save critical wildlife areas. And inspire more Canadians to care about nature today so it will still be there in the future.
Bequest gifts make an impact. They have helped fund our monitoring programs, protect Important Bird Areas, help fund on-the ground conservation and advanced our education and outreach to communities and youth. Just think what you could contribute to!
Nature has played an important part in our lives and brought us much joy, so it is natural to want to continue to support the programs that matter the most to you.
The most effective way to contribute to the future of nature is to make a gift in your will. In order to do so, you either need to create a will or add an amendment (codicil) to your existing will. There are three main types of bequests.
• a residual bequest is a percentage of your estate, after your personal and family commitments are met and dealt with.
• a contingent bequest takes effect only in the event of the prior death of other beneficiaries or if the original intent can not be fulfilled.
• our Education and Outreach Endowment Fund.
Whichever you choose, we assure you that we will follow your wishes and use your gift most effectively to continue our good work and make great progress towards protecting nature forever.
Or you can endow a gift to one of our Endowment Funds.
The next step is to make an appointment with your lawyer. A lawyer can help you determine what type of bequest makes the most sense for you, and can explain the tax benefits of this type of gift. Here is a useful sheet "Will for Wildlife" to share with your lawyer.
By making this thoughtful gift you can become a member of our Whittemore Legacy Circle. This group is made up of dedicated people who have decided to leave a lasting legacy by making a gift in their will for Nature Canada.
They want to ensure that future generations are able to enjoy nature in the same way they have, and trust Nature Canada to protect the birds, animals and wildlands that they care so much about.
For more information about making a gift in your will or other planned gift, please call Jodi Joy at 1-800-267-4088 ext 239 or email her at jjoy@naturecanada.ca or please feel free to print off our Legacy form and mail it back to us.


No one knows for sure where Minerva Mint came from. She just appeared in a London train station one day' a baby in a bag. Since then she's been living with Mrs. Flopps, the woman who found her, in a rundown mansion called Lizard Manor. It's been nine years now, and Minerva is no closer to finding her parents. Fortunately, her two new friends, Thomasina and Ravi, have turned the mystery of finding her identity into a wonderful adventure.
Two bare feet stuck out from under an orange tent in the middle of a bedroom. The toes scrunched and unscrunched in time with a gentle snoring. There were other sounds, too: the howling of the wind and the constant plip-plop of the rain as it leaked down onto everything in the room, including a big, uncomfortable looking bed. If you listened hard, you could also hear a quiet nibble-nibble. The mice were already awake.
A clock, which until that moment had been ticking away calmly on the bedside table, suddenly let out an alarming clatter. The bare feet immediately disappeared into the tent, replaced a second later by a big, yawning mouth. Minerva, who was wearing blue pajamas at least two sizes too big for her, shot out of the tent to turn off the alarm.
She looked around and smiled. It wasn't the leaky room that made her smile. And it wasn't the dark, stormy day she could see out the window. Minerva was smiling because it was March 22nd, her ninth birthday. And it was going to be a very busy day!
Well, March 22nd wasn't exactly Minerva's birthday, but it was exactly nine years ago today that Mrs. Flopps had found her in the travel bag at Victoria Station. And there was something that Minerva did every March 22nd as soon as she woke up.
First she took a deep breath and stuck out her chest as if she was about to dive into a swimming pool. Then she stuck her head under the big bed with its brass headboard, reached through the dust balls, grabbed a travel bag, and pulled it out with a huge sneeze. She dragged the bag back into the tent.
She ran her finger over the initials engraved on the buckle and opened it with a click. She felt that familiar empty feeling in her tummy. Inside the bag were things of high importance. First there was a light blue folder where she kept all the newspaper articles about Mrs. Flopps finding her in the waiting room. There were at least a dozen of them, and they made her feel like a celebrity. She'd read them all hundreds of times.
What she found much more interesting, though, was the big book with its red cover and title in golden letters: The Universal Encyclopedia, Vol. IV, M–P. Minerva had read all one hundred fifty pages of it, always wondering why that particular book should have been in her bag. Why M through P? She'd thought about that a lot, and in the end, decided that her parents had put it in the bag because the words mama and papa were under the letters M and P.
Page 25 read, A mama gives you unconditional love.
Page 107 read, A papa will always protect you.
And Minerva always felt both loved and protected every time she looked through the huge book.
But there had to be something else in that book. She was sure of it. Something that she'd missed. Something that might help her find her parents. She just had to look more carefully.
Minerva laid the book on her lap and reached for the oil lamp she used to light up the tent. But the moment she began reading, a loud screeching made her jump. She snapped the book shut, put it on the floor, and ran out of the tent and over to the window.
The storm was raging in the garden. Rain was lashing everything. The wind was blowing the trees as if it was angry with them and wanted to uproot them all. Minerva cupped her hands against the glass and looked out. In the distance, she could see someone coming up the cliff. She blinked twice and muttered, Who could that be?
She hurtled out of the room, into the dark, cold upstairs hallway, and down the stairs. The steps creaked as if they wanted to say hello to the new arrival as well.
Ravi Kapoor rode along the top of Admiral Rock, struggling against the wind and rain as it tried to pull him off his bike. His brakes made a terrible screech every time he slowed down to avoid a pothole. In front of him, perched on the cliff top like a figurehead on a ship, was Lizard Manor. It eyed him grimly through its empty windows.
Ravi had only just moved to Cornwall, but he'd already heard lots of terrible stories about Lizard Manor, including that it was haunted. It had stood empty for so many years that no one in the village could even remember who the last owners had been. He'd also heard that the current owners were . . . really, really weird.
Ravi was so distracted by all these thoughts that he almost ran into another pothole. He swerved to miss it and just about flew off the cliff. He stopped for a moment to calm down and check that the box was still attached to his bike rack. He then rode off again, without once looking at the sea on his left. Everyone knew that Ravi was afraid of heights, but his mom had sent him up there just the same!
He could hardly wait to leave the box by the door and get away. But the moment he finally stopped in front of the house — with another earsplitting screech of brakes — the big door swung open. There was a girl standing there. She was wearing pajamas that were too big for her and a blue nightcap with a mass of red, curly hair sticking out from under it. Two big green eyes peered at him from amid a sea of freckles.
Um . . . hi, Ravi greeted her. I've got something to deliver.
I know, answered Minerva. I've been expecting you.

Smartphones have become the most dominant medium to search for necessary information for everyday life in South Korea that ranks No. 1 worldwide in terms of smartphone ownership, showed a government survey on Thursday.
According to the result of a survey conducted on 7,234 people across the country aged over 13 from June 4 to August 10 by Korea Communications Commission, 57.2 percent of the respondents answered smartphones are the medium they rely the most in daily life, and 64.6 percent said they are the most effective medium to assess to necessary information during disaster.
The survey asked the respondents about types of the media they own, the amount of time spent on each device and usage pattern, importance of the media in everyday life, and online video content usage.
Respondents in their teens to 40s said smartphones are the most essential device in their daily lives and upon disaster outbreak, while those in their 50s picked television.
The survey, however, showed that respondents spent the most time to watch TV – 2 hours and 47 minutes on average every day, followed by smartphones (1 hour and 36 minutes), and radio (14 minutes).
The latest survey result was not a surprise after smartphone penetration rate in Korea increased from 87.1 percent in 2017 to 89.4 percent last year. The rate, in particular, jumped from 60.3 percent in 2016 to 73.6 percent in 2017 and 80.3 percent last year among Koreans in their 60s, leaving well-aged people also on high influence of smartphones.


Anglican Schools love to talk about the importance of ethos. Used synonymously with atmosphere, climate, culture or identity, we often don't unpack what it looks like or how we create it in any concrete way. When teachers are employed they may agree to uphold the Anglican Ethos of the school but they may not have any idea what it is they are upholding. It is possible the school is not sure either.
School leaders play an enormously important role in developing the ethos of the school but the classroom has an ethos of its own that is shaped primarily by the teacher. Classroom ethos is potentially more powerful in shaping a student's attitude and response to the faith life of the school than anything a Head might say. If we are seeking to develop Anglican ethos in the classroom there are two keys questions that need to be addressed. Firstly, what are our methods for creating ethos? Secondly, what does the ethos we are trying to develop look like?
In the Anglican Church Southern Queensland we have sought to answer both these questions in the one document called Anglican Ethos in the Classroom.
We have identified three key methods or elements for ethos creation. These are: personal modelling, student mentoring and culture building. While these elements overlap in their implementation each has a particular focus.
Personal Modelling is the disciplined or purposeful use of the self to express or demonstrate character, beliefs and values through actions, words and responses. Those who work in a professional capacity with people do this all the time. We choose carefully the words we say, how we express ourselves and what actions are appropriate for any particular audience. It is not about being inauthentic it is the realisation that we must present particular aspects of ourselves for the wellbeing and development of the people we are working with.
Student Mentoring is the purposeful use of a relationship. In the case of teachers it is the individual guidance and nurturing that they give to each student. Once again the activity is focused on the well-being, growth and development of the student.
Culture Building is the purposeful shaping of a community, in this case the community of the classroom. It is the development of the relationships in this community in a way that creates an environment for flourishing. It is about shaping how in the classroom people might interact, behave and express themselves.
While we have defined each of these elements as being purposeful or intentional the reality is that they occur whether we are intentional or not. The teacher is always modelling, mentoring and culture building through their being and their practice. Ideally this should be intentional and disciplined in its implementation so that a desired ethos is created and not an unwanted or accidental one.
This quote from Elizabeth Manvell describes perfectly what we are talking about.
What personal traits, values, habits would you like to see your students develop?
How are you purposefully using personal modelling, student mentoring and culture building to help your students develop these traits, values and habits?
We can apply a similar question in regard to Anglican or Christian ethos as well. How are you using these three elements to develop Anglican ethos in your classroom?
What would Anglican Ethos even look like in a classroom? And why does it matter that it is developed there?
Borrowing (but changing) a metaphor used by "What If Learning" we might think of Anglican Ethos as chocolate in a cake. The cake is the school and Anglican ethos is the chocolate.
We can have a plain cake with chocolate icing. In this case the Anglican Ethos is represented by a few special things the school does to highlight the Christian faith – for example special Christmas and Easter activities, Christian symbols around the school, an Christian name for the school perhaps.
But should Anglican Ethos just be the icing on the cake?
At the next level we have a plain cake with chocolate icing but also with chocolate cream in the middle. The cream in the middle are all those things where the Christian faith is brought into the life of the school – religious/Christian education, chapel, service activities, chaplaincy.
Chocolate filling is better than just chocolate icing.
But the ultimate goal is triple chocolate – to have chocolate cake with chocolate icing and chocolate filling.
We have triple chocolate cake ethos when the Christian and Anglican ethos permeates all aspects of the school. This can only happen through all staff members contributing their little bit of chocolate, their bit of Christian culture and Anglican ethos into the school every day.
When teachers participate in our Anglican Ethos in the Classroom professional development session in Southern Queensland we ask at the end: what is the bit of chocolate you are adding each day?
We realise that teachers have lot to deal with so we want the implementation of ethos to be manageable.
In Southern Queensland a group of chaplains and teachers from Anglican Schools developed a document called – Anglican Ethos in the Classroom. The purpose is to provide teachers with concrete ideas about how they might add their bit of chocolate.
You can see the whole document here, but below are a few examples from each of the three elements of ethos building.
Showing a positive attitude towards Christian faith and life.
Participating in all aspects of the Christian life of the school and encouraging students to do the same.
These two activities may seem simple and obvious but they are vital for the Christian life of any school. I have heard anecdotal stories over the years of teachers who support student's dismissive attitudes towards elements of the Christian life of the school such as chapel or religious education. This is highly destructive of student regard for the Christian life of the school because of the influence teachers have with students. I have also heard from time to time that Principals or key leaders in schools don't attend chapel on a regular basis. This sends a message about what is important and valued in the school. In some schools, particularly if chapel is held in a multipurpose facility, teachers may be found on laptops or phones during chapel. Again this sends a particular message about who chapel is for and the value that is attached to it by influential adults. Positive role modelling by teachers and leaders in a school is a vital first step if a Christian ethos is to be developed.
Nurturing the individual spirituality of students.
Classroom teachers have an individual relationship with every student in their classroom. Students will bring to the school their own experiences, ideas and questions about their spiritual self. Teachers have a role to play in responding to individual students in a way that nurtures their spiritual curiosity, questions and development. This might occur in the individual conversations that occur as well as how questions are answered with sensitivity in the classroom. Students may need to be challenged or encouraged or cared for depending on where they are at in their spiritual journey.
Using regular rhythms of prayer, scripture reading and worship in pastoral settings.
Patters of prayer and engagement with scripture should not be simply left in the chapel setting. The classroom provides a more flexible context for students to ask questions, learn how to pray, and ponder scripture in a way not possible in the chapel setting. They also get to see their teacher as a person who engages in these activities even if it is as a beginner, learner and explorer like themselves.
Of course all of this requires teachers to be equipped. But if we are serious about developing a Christian ethos and having a greater impact on student faith development than we currently do we need to consider carefully what it means to develop Anglican ethos in the classroom setting.
How are you helping your teachers to add their bit of chocolate?

The audience was probably 85-90% male, and many had fire service t-shirts on. First, I was trying to figure out why the theater was full of folks with IAFF and FD shirts from all over the USA. Then I remembered that the IAFF is holding their convention in Philly right now, so it made a little more sense.
The film covers, at least peripherally, the "big things" that have been going on in Detroit for the last few years. From Charlie LeDuff's investigative reporting (DaveStatter tells of LeDuff's antics reporting here), Detroit's "browning out" of companies, the death of Ivory Ivey in 2011, and serious firefighter injuries and deaths, including an 8/13/10 (Friday13th) building collapse with serious FF injuries, and the 11/15/2008 LODD of Senior Firefighter Walter Harris in a roof collapse.
As the film opens, we are introduced to the crew of Engine 50, one of Detroit's busiest fire companies, on the war-zone East Side of the city, and we follow them through a year of fighting fires and personal battles. A big point is the equipment issues faced by Detroit's firefighters, such as apparatus that is out-of-service, or run down to the point of falling apart. One scene shows a firefighter with duck tape on his turnout boots, because the rubber toe cap was falling off. Another shows the (current, for now) Fire Commissioner touring the apparatus shops, showing the truck that was hit by a train, an engine that was driven under a bridge, and other battle scars on apparatus.
Part of the story is shown through the eyes of FEO (Engineer) Dave Parnell a 30-odd-year veteran of DFD. He's presented as the senior man in the firehouse, and he's also a resident of the East Side. Parnell is presented alongside arson investigation staff and serves as a "tour guide" of the burned out hulks and vacant lots that cover the city. Detroit has 80,000 or so of those abandoned structures., lots of which are boarded up after fires or vandalism that has already weakened them. Those structures are time bombs for the Fire Department – only a matter of time until someone lights them off again, and in their already weakened state, they are practically death-traps for the firefighters. Many of the firefighters in the film punctuate the discussion of these risks with stories of their own injuries.
Speaking of injuries, the filmmakers spend a lot of time covering Firefighter Brendan Milewski, and his recovery after being paralyzed in the 8/13/10 building collapse. That, coupled with the other injuries that are covered really seemed to hit home with a lot of the crowd, and the potential for death and serious injury was discussed at some length in the Q&A session. During that Q&A, Brendan even mentioned that volunteers take the same risks, and EVERYONE needs to understand the potential for a life-altering injury or death.
In the end, the film does a fantastic job of covering the PEOPLE that are fighting to save Detroit, one fire call at a time. It's like a cinematic Report From Engine Company 82 – except with fewer resources and quite probably more fire. In the Q&A, the firefighters said that after the most recent cutbacks, Detroit is only running 40-50 companies a day, instead of the almost 70 that are on the books as in service. they are leaving the firehouse every evening and running non-stop until almost 5am – every shift. The movie does as good a job of capturing the intensity of their job, and the drama of their lives as well. As honest, and therefore bad, as it presents the City of Detroit, it really honors the firefighters.
So – Keep an eye on Burn's website, Facebook, and Twitter. Go to a fund-raising screening, if you can. If not, keep your eyes open. They say they are hoping to release the film this fall – but the filmmakers need to raise HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of dollars to cover costs before the film can be released. They have funded almost the entire movie like this (there's a big list of donors in the credits). So if you really want to see this film released – consider donating a few bucks to make it happen. This is a story that needs to be told.

Whereabouts of Tibetan monk arrested last year remain unknown
Nothing is known about Ngagchung who was arrested in July 2008. He was a member of the Larung Gar Buddhist Temple, an important centre for Buddhist studies targeted by Chinese authorities.
Dharamsala 23 Jun 2009 (AsiaNews) – A year after Ngagchung's arrest, the fate of the Tibetan monk remains unknown. The Tibetan Centre for Human Rights and Democracy (TCHRD) reports that his family has not received any confirmation of his detention.
Ngagchung (pictured) was arrested on 8 July 2008 along with two other monks, Taphun e Gadruk, from the Larung Gar Buddhist Institute in Sertha on suspicions that they leaked information to 'separatist forces' based abroad with regards to Tibet's situation at the height of last year's anti-Chinese protests. The other two monks were interrogated and released, but Ngachung disappeared.
The last information about him suggests that he was held in a prison in Chengdu (Sichuan), but nothing is known about his physical and mental conditions. Every request made by the family to visit him were turned down.
The monk has always been active in and respected by the Buddhist community. He is also the nephew of Khenpo Jigme Phuntsok, a highly-respected Tibetan Buddhist scholar who founded the Larung Gar Buddhist Institute in Sertha County (Chinese, Seda), Kardze.
According to the TCHRD, many Tibetans who are arrested simply disappear, their families unable to see or know anything about them.
Chinese authorities have also targeted the Larung Gar Buddhist Institute in Sertha County and sent teams of officials for the "patriotic re-education" of the monks.
In April 2001 the authorities imposed a quota on the number of students who could attend the institution; some 7,000 students were forced to leave.
In June 2001 thousands of policemen took over the monastery and tore down many constructions.


In response to the NGG's campaign and growing media exposure of abusive practices the governments of 4 cities in the State of Lower Saxony recently signed an agreement with meat-packing companies and their labour contractors establishing a minimum wage of EUR 8.50 - with a catch. The deal allows the agencies to deduct from wages travel costs, rent and transport!
The NGG describes the city governments' actions as a step in the right direction, but insists that transport, tools, and clothing must be paid for by employers, and will continue the struggle against abusive practices.


You may be able to stay with family or friends for a while, but will also need to find long-term accommodation that you can afford. This could mean finding a privately rented property or renting a home from the Housing Executive or a housing association. It's important that you read up on your housing options and know your rights if you haven't been a tenant before.
You may find it more difficut to get another mortgage because your credit rating will have been adversely affected by the repossession. You'll probably have to provide a larger than normal deposit, and may be charged higher than normal interest rates which can make the arrangement less affordable for you. If you no longer have an interest in any other property and you don't have any outstanding debt from your previous mortgage, you may also be able to buy a home through co-ownership.
The Housing Executive has a legal duty to help some people who are homeless or about to lose their homes. The rules on what sort of help the Housing Executive has to give you are complicated. Your rights will depends on your personal circumstances, but at the very least, the Housing Executive has to look into your situation and give you advice to help you find a home.
The quality of privately rented accommodation varies widely. In some areas it may be possible to find a cheap place to move into quite quickly. In other areas it can be difficult to find anywhere, and your choices may be in poor condition.
Many private landlords run credit checks on prospective tenants. It can be difficult to find a landlord who will rent to you if your home was repossessed because of mortgage arrears.
You must apply for a Housing Executive or housing association house using the selection scheme. Some people, including most people from abroad, are not eligible to apply.
In some areas there is a lot of accommodation available, but in other areas you may have little realistic hope of being offered a place at all. You will probably need to look at other options, such as renting from a private landlord, especially if you need to move quickly.
If you have a history of debt problems you will often find it difficult to get a tenancy or mortgage. Landlords will usually check your credit history with credit reference agencies such as Experian and Equifax. Most mortgage lenders will also check the 'possessions register' operated by UK Finance, formerly the Council for Mortgage Lenders, which gives information about repossessions by any its members during the last six years.
information about how you can change the information if it is not correct.
If the agency refuses to change information that is incorrect, get advice. You may be able to complain to the Office of Information Commissioners.


The Tree of Life Havurah met on the third floor of B'nai Zion Synagogue, not to be confused with the Traditional Minyan, which met on the second floor, or the Progressive Havurah, which met on the fourth floor, although only on alternate Saturdays. None of these were to be confused with the synagogue's main sanctuary, whose rabbi, Aviva Albrecht-Aloni, was a member of Tree of Life but whose job required her to lead the main service eleven months a year. Since the average age in the main sanctuary was at least 75–one or more people had fainted each of the last six Yom Kippurs–it had been suggested that the havurah simply take over the main service, on the model of the Bolsheviks in 1917 or (less harshly) aging synagogues in other cities; but this had yet to happen and, as the havurah members themselves were getting a bit long in the tooth, probably never would.
Like Tolstoy's unhappy families, all of the competing services represented a failure of the havurah movement, but each in its own special way. The Traditional Minyan was in essence reactionary, grudgingly allowing women to participate but otherwise indistinguishable from the orthodox synagogue many of its members eventually moved to. (One of its wittier participants called it "modern Young Israel.") By contrast the Progressive Havurah was so liberal as to approach self-parody. One Saturday morning, it replaced the entire service with two hours of meditation accompanied by Hindu chanting, and a longtime member was suspended because he failed to mention Bilhah and Zilpah, Abraham's concubines and the mother of several of his children, in the repetition of the Amidah prayer. A happier fate attended the group's new prayer book, including male, female, and new transgender pronouns, which it had marketed to several liberal synagogues.
Tree of Life was somewhere in between: egalitarian in philosophy but with just enough tradition to attract a critical mass of old-timers. The problem was that this mix didn't really satisfy anyone, or in any event failed to produce the enthusiasm attending a more radical approach. Demographics were a further issue. Relatively few Jews were moving into the neighborhood and those who did tended to be intermarried or simply secular couples, for whom arguments over which closing hymn to recite and whether to eat beans on Passover were at best irrelevant and at worst positively offputting. This combination of ideological problems and simple inertia caused Tree of Life to decline precipitously in size, to the point where it frequently struggled to have ten people in attendance and those who did attend had to schedule their bathroom breaks so as to avoid losing a minyan. An outreach committee, designed to attract more members, had to be abandoned when the chair of the committee departed for a competing synagogue.
In the past, Tree of Life had gained strength from life cycle events, principally bar mitzvahs and weddings, the latter of which were celebrated elsewhere but involved a panoply of secondary functions including wedding announcements (aufrufs), anniversaries, and so forth. With its aging membership the group had lately discovered a new growth industry: funerals. Immediately upon the announcement of a death in any member's family, several members sprang into action, organizing home prayers for the shiva mourning period, providing meals to the bereaved family, and (if they were rabbis) offering to conduct the funeral or otherwise to make sympathetic remarks about the deceased after the burial was completed. That most of the deceased were elderly parents of the havurah members, whom many had never met and would likely have loathed if they did, made little difference. As any anthropologist can tell you, people seek purpose in life, and Tree of Life had one: not its original one, perhaps, but an important and even vital one nonetheless. Besides, who else would do it?
Against this background, the approaching death of Morris Fischbein presented a particular challenge. Rather than a mere relative, Fischbein was an active participant in the havurah, although he had come to it by a rather circuitous route. Most members joined out of a combination of ideology and a desire for personal fulfillment that a big synagogue couldn't meet. Fischbein simply couldn't get along with anyone else. Contrarian to a fault, he argued about everything, all the time: the timing of services, the room the group met in, the (usually liberal) content of sermons and other discourses. His happiest moment came when the weekly Torah portion included the tokhekha, the lengthy curse upon the Israelites if they failed to follow God's commands, which he read with the enthusiasm of Churchill and Dylan rolled into one. The members tolerated him despite these eccentricities, and he had at bottom a good heart: but the latter was now failing him and some preparation for his demise was becoming increasingly unavoidable.
It seemed clear that the havurah, and not the main synagogue, would take responsibility for these arrangements. As much as Fischbein disliked Tree of Life's liberalism, he loathed the synagogue even more. This was especially true since Rabbi Albrecht-Aloni had taken over two years ago. "AAA" was everything Fischbein couldn't deal with: liberal, touchy-feely, and (last but certainly not least) a woman. From the havurah he expected this kind of thing, but the notion of such a person heading a traditional institution—B'nai Zion was founded in the 1870s—was more than he could stand. At times he seemed unable even to say her name, referring to her simply as "our new rabbi" or "the new person in charge" and adding a grimace to his usual strained countenance.
In contrast to a wedding or bar mitzvah, one never knows precisely when a funeral will take place, and there is a certain indecency in discussing it while the person is still living. The conversation regarding Morris Fischbein's demise accordingly took place surreptitiously among the havurah members and (at times) his children, who lived on the other side of the city where they occasionally attended yet another declining synagogue. (Fischbein's wife, who disliked the synagogue, havurah, and other Jewish institutions equally, had died several years earlier.) A consensus emerged that the funeral would be conducted by his children's rabbi, who had never met him, but that the havurah members would assist him in preparing, and that the latter would also play a role in making the shiva arrangements and scheduling a memorial tribute a few weeks after his death. A couple of the more forward-looking members began jotting down notes that might serve as the basis for tributes to the not-yet-deceased colleague. All that remained was for Morris Fischbein to die.
The news came on a rainy night in February, and the havurah, like a reserve unit suddenly mobilized, sprang into action. Jonathan and Beruriah Goldsmith, a middle-aged couple who had never socialized with Fischbein and rolled their eyes whenever he spoke, quickly took over coordinating the funeral with the deceased's family. Anat Wasserman, a single woman whose job and other Sunday-to-Thursday activities no one was quite sure of, was assigned the role of providing food trays and home-cooked meals. Other havurah members called and e-mailed each other to ensure that there would be a minyan for morning and evening services. All was going to plan until the Goldsmiths received a telephone call, a few hours after the death, from Morris Fischbein's daughter.
"Yes, is there a problem?" Goldsmith responded. He realized immediately that this was a poor choice of words for someone whose father had just died.
Goldsmith swallowed hard before responding. Everyone knew that Fischbein had loathed AAA, and indeed would never even have used her title in describing her. Had he really requested this, or was something else going on?
Goldsmith was not by nature a decisive person, and he had no formal authority, certainly not when somebody else's funeral was at stake. The story was odd, but not impossible: perhaps Morris had simply decided to be contrarian one last time. In any event, Jewish law required that the funeral take place within 24 hours after the death, so there wasn't much time for an argument.
It didn't take long to reach the rabbi, who had just put her older child to sleep and was preparing her talk for Multicultural Shabbat, an event she had been preparing for some time and which she believed to be the first of its kind in the city. She had done dozens of funerals and—although she didn't publicize the fact—had developed a computer program which allowed her to write a eulogy for virtually anyone in thirty minutes or less. ("You could write a eulogy for Stalin," her husband teased her, although she didn't think it was especially funny). But she needed at least a few facts to go on.
"I'll arrange a meeting with his family," Goldsmiith replied.
The meeting, as is often the case, turned out to be a ten-minute session in a side room at the funeral parlor, forty minutes before the service began. It mattered little, as the rabbi used her standard, "pillar-of-the-community" draft and merely had to fill in a few dates and places. What she hadn't counted on was that, in the 4,000- year history of the Jewish people, this was to be the first funeral crashed by a real-life heckler.
Harvey Guttenmacher had for several years been Morris Fischbein's sidekick at the havurah, and was perhaps the only member more crotchety than he was. Unable to stand the group's leftward drift, he had stopped coming several years earlier, when he proceeded to join an even more liberal synagogue where he acted even more obstructionist. While Fischbein had become more moderate during his illness and approaching death, Guttenmacher was very much alive, and decidedly not with the program. He read about the death in the morning paper and decided to attend.
The morning was cold and rainy, as if befitting the deceased's disposition, and the funeral parlor was busy, so things proceeded briskly. There were a few prayers and then remarks by Fischbein's daughter, a family friend, and another member of the havurah, who emphasized the departed's commitment to the State of Israel and his charitable work. A couple of additional readings followed and then it was time for Albrecht-Aloni's eulogy.
Aware of the incongruity of the situation, the rabbi began with a rather clumsy joke about how this was her first oration that Morris wouldn't be able to walk out on. She then proceeded to give a speech that would have been worthy of her best, lifelong friend. Morris—she referred to him exclusively by his first name—had a lifelong commitment to the Jewish people that was extraordinary even for his generation. He was decades ahead of his time in supporting equality for women and a career for his daughter. He was tolerant of diversity and stood by the havurah notwithstanding political differences. He was especially committed to the younger generation of the Jewish people and their future in Israel and America.
"He hated the synagogue!" a voice called out in an audible stage whisper from the back of the room.
The rabbi continued her oration, proceeding to an anecdote about Fischbein's concern for Jewish children.
"He hated the rabbi!" Guttenmacher, now even louder, continued.
Albrecht-Aloni pressed on, with a moving description of the departed's family.
At this point Beruriah, the more assertive of the Goldsmith couple, stood up and simply stared Guttenmacher down. Whether she had some special power over him, or whether he had simply exhausted his performance, was unclear. One way or another, he sat down and departed quickly after the funeral, and the rest of the event went more or less as planned.
A few nights later the members of the havurah gathered in the Goldsmith's home for the final night of the shiva mourning period. (It had been decided to sit four nights at his daughter's house and the final three nights at the havurah.) There were trays of smoked fish and other traditional foods, together with tofu casseroles and similar dishes prepared by the havurah members, few of which would ever be eaten. The rabbi, who had attended dozens of such occasions, was there and the conversation turned–perhaps inevitably–to the events of a few days earlier.
And suddenly, inexplicably, everyone was smiling. Morris Fischbein had had precisely the funeral he would have wanted, and the havurah had been there to provide it. Somewhere in heaven he was frowning on them, and that was what he would have wanted, too. The future of the Jewish people could wait for another day.

Green Homes Grant Scheme: Coronavirus
UIN 133767, tabled on 6 January 2021
Mr Virendra Sharma
Ealing, Southall
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what steps his Department has taken to ensure installers can undertake their commitments as part of the Green Homes Grant scheme during the covid-19 outbreak; and what penalties are in place to ensure installers undertake work they have committed to do.
This answer is the replacement for a previous holding answer.
Anne-Marie Trevelyan
Based on the latest advice from my Rt. Hon. Friend the Prime Minister, tradespeople may continue to work if they are unable to do so from home. Installers registering and participating in the Green Homes Grant Scheme must agree to the Installer Terms and Conditions. As stated in paragraph 13f under General Obligations:
'At all times when participating in the Scheme...the Installer must: comply, and ensure that its officers, employees, agents and subcontractors comply, with UK Government best practice "Working safely during coronavirus (COVID-19)" when working at or in any Customer's property'.
We understand that COVID-19 restrictions may affect the ability to install measures in households. We will not be imposing any penalties for installers who are unable to undertake work they have committed to as a result of the current restrictions but, as ever, vouchers will only become redeemable once scheduled works have been completed.
The extension to the scheme will allow more flexibility for when installations can take place, and we are working to ensure that voucher validity period reflects the coronavirus situation where necessary.

New Battle for Azeroth comic reunites all three Windrunner sisters at last
By Anne Stickney
@Shadesogrey
It's about time the Windrunners had a reunion, don't you think? So does Blizzard — and the latest comic in the Battle for Azeroth lead-in series finally brings that moment to pass. Windrunner: Three Sisters features all three Windrunners coming face-to-face for the first time in years. Each sister has changed significantly over the years — one lost her husband, one lost her life and regained it as well as leadership of the Horde, and the third's been gone for a thousand years, by her reckoning.
With all that change, are there really any family ties left? That's the question at the front of Alleria's mind when she calls on both her siblings to make a return to Windrunner Spire. This is the first time we've really seen the extent of the past relationship between all three sisters. Each one followed her own path, both in novels and in the game itself. While we've followed those individual paths, we've never really seen them all together as a family before.
Three Sisters is a little different from the two comics prior — while it was written by Christie Golden and Andrew Robinson, the plot was initially pitched by Steve Danuser. You might recognize that name as both WoW's Lead Narrative Designer, as well as the author of the short story Dark Mirror. The three answered some questions about the comic and its development as well — you can read the Q&A on WoW Chakra. Art for the comic was done by Antonio Bifulco, with coloring by Sebastian Cheng — the painterly style really helps the story hit home.
And it's a story we've been waiting for ever since Alleria's presence in Legion was revealed. While not exactly as explosive as I expected it to be, Three Sisters still deftly brings that conflict to light. Alleria's struggles with the Void are front and center, and Sylvanas is just as devious as ever. I don't think we'll see the three merrily skipping through the fields picking posies anytime soon, as much as each sister might wish that the case.
You can check out Windrunner: Three Sisters in full on Blizzard's website. Although there have been reports that this is the last comic in this particular series, it's not the end of pre-expansion lore content. Before the Storm, the next novel from Christie Golden, hits shelves next week as well. If you missed it, we released an exclusive excerpt from the novel yesterday — give it a look while you wait.

Q: Downloading all images in an ImageCollection to my local computer from Google Earth Engine Based on Filter Sentinel-3 data based on cloud cover over a region of interest, I managed to get an ImageColection containing the name of hundreds of Sentinel-3 images with specific cloud cover over a region of interest.   Now I wish to ask about downloading this dataset as I need to process them in my local computer.
I see that GEE provides three options for downloading/exporting images:
GoogleDrive: which I don't think has enough space for my application
Google Cloud Space: which I think is not free
GEE asset: which is vague to me how it works and if it is enough for my application or not.
How do I download all images in an ImageCollection to my local computer?
Can I do that with GE asset?
If yes, how?
if no, is there any other way to batch download the images in an ImageCollection from LPDAAC or Scihub Copernicus or these kind of source websites?

A:
How do I download all images in an ImageCollection to my local computer?

Earth Engine does not currently offer a prebuilt bulk direct download option. However, you could write a Python or JavaScript program that requests a series of download URLs using ee.Image.getDownloadURL. These requests have more limitations on time and size than batch tasks (Export.*) but can transfer data direct from EE to your computer without a stop at any cloud storage service.

Can I do that with GE asset?

No, because that would be just creating another asset in Earth Engine's own storage just like the one you started with.

if no, is there any other way to batch download the images in an ImageCollection from LPDAAC or Scihub Copernicus or these kind of source websites?

Perhaps. Earth Engine's assets generally have image IDs from the original data provider, which you can use to match up images within EE to those from the provider's site, but every provider is a little different and it'll depend entirely on them whether it would be easy to download a list of IDs.

Latest Middle East and North Africa News Top Stories
Syrian opposition urges major powers to back nationwide ceasefire
Geneva (Reuters) – The main Syrian opposition called on major powers on Saturday to help clinch a nationwide ceasefire in coming months to pave the way for a political transition after nearly a decade of war.
Hadi al-Bahra, the Syrian opposition co-chair of the Syrian Constitutional Committee, was speaking to reporters in Geneva after week-long U.N.-sponsored talks.
The 45-member committee composed of representatives of the government, opposition and civil society, has a mandate to draw up a new Constitution leading to U.N.-supervised elections.
U.N. Special Envoy Geir Pedersen said that there were "many areas of disagreement", but also "quite a few areas of commonalities". "My hope is with continued calm on the ground…we will also see some progress," he told a briefing.
Pedersen, referring to a ceasefire brokered by Turkey and Russia in March in the last remaining rebel-held bastion of Idlib in northwest Syria, said it was "by and large holding" despite violations.
Bahra said that as long as there was no nationwide ceasefire, the political process would remain stalled.
It was the responsibility of the international community and countries supporting either warring side to push for a full and permanent ceasefire, he said.
"When we see that happen we will see the political process moving faster, because all sides they will know that there is no way for them to achieve a final victory on military terms," he said.
Troops from the United States, Russia, and Turkey as well as Iranian militias are present in Syria, Bahra said.
"They will not permit any victory for any one side. My expectation is that within the coming months we will see a complete, comprehensive ceasefire through all of Syria, that then we will see more international effort to move the political process forward to make it move faster," he added.
Ahmad Kuzbari, the Syrian government co-chair, did not speak to reporters. No date was announced for the next round

Britain Decides: UK's parties go head-to-head over oil and gas in Scotland
International Tuesday 10th December 2019 07:27 PM REPORT
Thank you for your reading and interest in the news Britain Decides: UK's parties go head-to-head over oil and gas in Scotland and now with details
Hind Al Soulia - Riyadh - In Britain's last three elections, the Scottish seat of Gordon has changed hands three times and, with voters going to the polls in a matter of days, the issue of oil gas has become a pivotal issue.
Gordon is one of three UK parliamentary constituencies straddling the north eastern city of Aberdeen, Britain's oil and gas capital. It is estimated that some 23,500 individuals in the Aberdeen area are directly employed by the industry but a further 82,000 people work locally in the supply chain.
These two figures combined account for just under half of all the jobs in the area. In Aberdeen, the granite city sitting off the North Sea coast, oil is still king.
The UK's main opposition party, the left-wing Labour party, gas been accused of imposing a tax on Aberdeen after the party announced its manifesto plans to charge the oil and gas sector a windfall tax of £11 billion to "pay the cost of the climate emergency".
Trying to mitigate the backlash against the plans in Scotland, Labour's shadow chancellor John McDonnel. has insisted the cash generated by the tax will be returned to the local economy.
"No, it's a tax for Aberdeen because all that money will go on investing in the jobs that people need in the just transition from fossil fuels to renewable," he said. "It will be the biggest investment Scotland has seen in generations, £100 billion and more," the shadow chancellor added.
The Labour Party, which a decade ago had seemed unassailable in Scotland, has never been competitive in Gordon since the seat was created in the 1980s. In the 2019 general election the seat is a straight up race between its Conservative incumbent Colin Clark and the Scottish National Party's (SNP) Richard Thompson.
Twitter/ @cllrthomson
The issue is just one of a series of issues that have have buoyed the ruling Conservative Party's hopes of putting in a good performance on Thursday night in Scotland. Before the campaign was launched the party was facing predictions of a wipeout in its 13 of 56 seats. However the campaign has focused on issues such as oil industry fortunes and Scottish independence, which have played to its strengths.
In fact both the SNP and the Conservatives have been unequivocal in their rejection of Labour's plans, as the party's Gordon candidate told The National.
"What we need to do is ensure that we secure our future as an energy region and to make sure we retain the human capital, the financial capital and the jobs that will industrialise the innovation that is here that comes out of the oil and gas industry," he said.
"An awful lot of the skills that you need to put up a wind turbine at sea are common to the oil and gas industry," he said "It is about how we effect that transition. Because we know the devastation that was affected on central Scotland and towns and cities in the north of England when the coal industry shut down."
Mr Thompson told The National that by and large people had accepted the argument about climate change, but a transition to renewable energy needed to be carefully managed.
The sitting MP is equally emphatic. "Labour's windfall tax would threaten more than 100,000 jobs in Scotland – many of which are based in and around Aberdeen," Mr Clark said in the aftermath of Labour's manifesto launch.
"Only the Scottish Conservatives can be trusted to stand up for this vital industry on which so many jobs depend," he added.
The SNP's economy spokesperson Kirsty Blackman, who is also standing neighbouring in Aberdeen North, has accused Labour of "trying to balance the books on the back of a tax raid that would put tens of thousands of jobs in Scotland at risk".
"Time and time again, Westminster parties have proven themselves incapable of delivering for Scotland's oil and gas sector," she added.
Gordon and the surrounding area has not escaped the Brexit debate that has dominated the General Election across the whole of the UK. The dynamics of Britain's divorce from the EU and the SNP's raison d'être, political independence from Westminster, have bled into the oil and gas debate.
The SNP, which plans to set aside £1 billion in North Sea revenues to facilitate the transition to low carbon industries in the region, has said the Conservative's "obsession with Brexit" risks a "hammer blow to the sector".
Twitter/ @Colin_J_Clark
The Conservatives, on the other hand, have demanded the SNP make it clear any potential coalition between Labour and the Scottish Nationalists at Westminster excludes manoeuvring on the oil and gas sector. A possible deal between the Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and SNP First Minister Nicola Sturgeon is seen by the nationalists as a clear path to a repeat referendum on the issue of Scottish independence.
In Gordon, which voted "No" in the referendum to leave Britain in 2014 but "Remain" in the vote to leave the EU in 2016, each side is keen to frame the election narrative in the light which best suits it. The Conservatives warn that the pro-union constituency risks Scotland leaving Britain if the SNP gains more seats. The SNP, at the same time, are playing to fears of a hard Brexit if the UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson returns to parliament with a majority on Friday.

In 1879, James R. Evans and his wife, Julia A. Evans, purchased the farm. In 1880, James was 35 and listed as a general merchant. They had a son, Asac, daughter Ella, and daughter Ettie. They also had two farm laborers living with them: George Messanger, 26 and Charles Miers.
Robinson's 1887 Map with James R. Evans as owner
James R. Evans was a decorated Civil War Hero. Born on September 12, 1845, he entered the army as a musician when he was less than 16 years old, enlisting in Company F 62nd New York State Volunteers. He was transferred to Company H New York Volunteers the same day. The 62nd New York Volunteers were known as Anderson's Zouaves. Formed in 1861, Anderson's Zouaves were named in honor of the Union defender of Fort Sumter, Robert Anderson. Initially they had a reputation as a thoroughly undisciplined unit and unfit for combat. But gradually they earned a reputation for tough fighting. Serving in the VI Corps, they participated in all the major battles of the Army of the Potomac serving throughout the war. Zouave units were characterized by exotic and colorful uniforms modeled after the Franco-Algerian Soldiers.

In 1895, James R. Evans received the Congressional Medal of Honor. His citation read, Evans "went out in front of the line under fierce fire and, in the face of the rapidly advancing enemy, rescued the regimental flag with which the color bearer had fallen." His act got him promoted to Captain. He was also awarded the New York State Medal, presented to men who participated in the Battle of Gettysburg and another medal for "gallantry in action."

Evans was the local postmaster and served as justice of the peace; he also was employed by the Greenwood Lake Railroad company. He died at the age of 73 in Caldwell.

Deborah Crombie: In a Dark House (UK 2014)
A house of secrets. A child in danger. And the clock is ticking...
A corpse, burned beyond recognition, has been uncovered in a vacant warehouse in Southwark... A young, beautiful hospital administrator has vanished without a trace, her past a mystery to even her closest friend...

Deborah Crombie: In a Dark House (USA 2005)
An abandoned Southwark warehouse burns next door to a women's shelter for victims of spousal abuse. Within it lies the charred corpse of a female body burned beyond all recognition. At the same time, workers at Guy's Hospital anxiously discuss the disappearance of a hospital administrator -- a beautiful, emotionally fragile young woman who's vanished without a trace.
And in an old, dark, rambling London house, nine-year-old Harriet's awful fears won't be silenced -- as she worries about her feuding parents, her schoolwork... and the strange woman who is her only companion in this scary, unfamiliar place.
Gemma James and Duncan Kincaid -- lovers and former partners -- have their own pressing concerns. But they must put aside private matters to investigate these disturbing cases. Yet neither Gemma nor Duncan realize how closely the cases are connected -- or how important their resolutions will be for an abducted young child who is frightened, alone... and in serious peril.
