About Foodcurators
Zeeland: Food, Design and Heritage
The diverse landscape and rich history of Zeeland contain many narratives. These have been collected in nine iconic storylines about the heritage of Zeeland.To materialize these storylines and make them accessible to both tourists as well as inhabitants of Zeeland, Foodcurators was commissioned by the province of Zeeland to do the project 'Zeeland Souvenirs & Placemarkers'.
As a start, four meaningful places in Zeeland are visibly marked. A story is told in these places, and each location serves as the inspiration for a contemporary product (a souvenir if you will). See the results here, here, here and here.
Design research base
Extensive design research was done on the history, cultural and culinary heritage, and the contemporary reality of Zeeland which includes mass-tourism. In academic studies on tourism and local economies a term is mentioned to indicate products and services catered to tourists that do not hold meaningful connections to the current community of inhabitants, or their local economy. This term is "falsely authentic". One could translate this as: cheaply produced souvenirs (often sourced from low wage countries) that are sold in shops only catered to tourists and not to the local community. But what qualifies as authentic? In this project, "Falsely authentic" has become the creative space as well as the guideline to create concepts for Zeeland that involve food and heritage.
To understand fragments of cultural heritage, we need interpretations. These renderings need to be distinctly recognizable as new additions to the original.
In our design-research of Zeeland heritage it was meaningful to us to question authenticity. Authenticity of regional products, authenticity of souvenirs, authenticity of heritage itself: there is no one definition of authenticity. Yet many questions can be raised about authenticity in these respects.
In this project, "Falsely authentic" has become the creative space as well as the guideline to create concepts for Zeeland that involve food and heritage.
Structure of concept
Operation of concept
Our research has included -among other things- the elaboration of these questions:
How authentic is the Zeeland heritage? Zeeland has been inundated on many occasions and bombed in WWII, resulting in devastating damage to many historical buildings. Yet these have been rebuilt, often historicized even. Also, what is presented today often is the glory of one period in the past, but not the whole picture which involves also less glorious history.
How authentic are regional food products? If something contains a pinch of black pepper, it cannot be regional. But is there more than 'terroir' that distinguishes regional products from mass-produced ones? Is the maker regional? The recipe? Or maybe the story?
How much freedom are we allowed when it comes to heritage? Are we allowed to interpret beyond what can be historically proven? Can we translate fragments of our heritage into contemporary designs, without stripping it of its meaning?
And can a souvenir be meaningful, even if you have never been to the place of its origin?

5 Things We Forget When Spring Cleaning.


A young couple who went missing in a national park on a hot summer day died in what appeared to be a murder-suicide pact, police say.
The bodies of Rachel Nguyen, 20, and Joseph Orbeso, 22, were found in an embrace last week – two-and-a-half months after they went missing in southern California's Joshua Tree National Park on 28 July.
Both had gunshot wounds – and based on evidence at the scene, detectives believe Mr Orbeso shot Ms Nguyen, then shot himself.
The couple were found under a tree in a remote canyon and had positioned their clothing to protect them from the sun.
It appeared they had been rationing their food and had no water, police said.
Joshua Tree National Park is known for its desert ecosystem and temperatures reach up to 40.5C (105F) in July.
Mr Orbeso and Ms Nguyen were first reported missing after they failed to return to a bed and breakfast they had stayed in.
The hotel's owner believed they had gone hiking in the national park, which covers more than 1,200 square miles of the Mojave and Colorado deserts.
Later that day, rangers found the couple's unoccupied car near a trailhead.
After more than 2,100 hours of searches, the couple's bodies were recovered and airlifted to a coroner's office.
Mr Orbeso's father, Gilbert, was with rescue workers who made the discovery.
He said he felt "a sense of relief", adding: "I believed that I was going to find them.
"And I'm glad we did that with these great people here with me and the rest of everyone."
In a statement, San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department said homicide detectives launched an investigation into the deaths "due to the suspicious circumstances and visible injuries".
It added: "Orbeso's actions remain under investigation."

Meir's Story
Meir was born on November 1, 1928 in Korets, Poland. His family lived in a large house, next to an orchard of plums, pears, apples, cherries, and wild berries. At home, Meir's father, Mr. Kransnostawski, ran his own bakery which specialized in cakes and cookies. Meir loved to wake up early in the morning and sneak into the bakery to get a special treat from the workers.
Meir Kransnostawski.
The Kransnostawskis had four children: Golda was the eldest, then Meir, Hanoch, and Baruch. Meir's grandmother also lived with the family. At home, the family spoke Yiddish. Like most of the Jews of Korets, the Kransnostawskis kept a kosher home and celebrated the Jewish holidays. The Kransnostawski home was particularly important to the Jewish community because on Fridays before the Sabbath they offered the bakery's large stone oven to the neighborhood women.
The women would fill the oven with their ceramic cooking pots of meat stew called cholent, and would return on Saturday to retrieve their heated dishes for their Sabbath meals.
TESTIMONY: "FAMILY LIFE"
"…straight out of the oven, hot, with a cup of chocolate milk in the mornings."
—Meir Kransnostawski
Mr. and Mrs. Kransnostawski believed that a Jewish education was important for their children, so they sent Meir to a private Jewish school. His classes were taught in Hebrew, and Polish was taught as a second language. His studies included Bible and Jewish History. Most of Meir's friends were Jewish. Though he did have a few non-Jewish friends, Meir was aware that the relationship between the Jewish community and their neighbors was not ideal, and that many people harbored feelings of antisemitism towards Jews.
Meir's home in Korets.
The Nazi invasion of Poland on September 1, 1939 greatly increased the concerns of the Jewish community. As events unfolded, Korets came under Soviet rule according to conditions of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact . The Soviets immediately nationalized local businesses, including the Kransnostawski bakery. They also nationalized the schools, so that Meir's Jewish private school became a Soviet state school. The official language at school was now Russian. Meir also studied Polish and German. Hebrew was banned.
During this time refugees arrived in Korets from Nazi occupied territories, with rumors of the persecution of Jews at German hands. Some of the Jews of Korets decided to flee to the east. Meir's older sister was involved in Zionist youth groups and talked about fleeing to the ancient Jewish homeland in an area called the Mandate for Palestine . Meir's father considered these options for his family, but ultimately neighbors and friends persuaded Mr. Kransnostawski to stay in Korets as a community leader during these difficult and uncertain times.

France's foreign ministry tells reporters to stop all travel to Syria
FILE PHOTO: French President Emmanuel Macron attends an international meeting in Paris, France, December 8, 2017.
Reuters/Philippe Wojazer/File Photo
PARIS (Reuters) - France's foreign ministry urged reporters not to travel to Syria given an escalation of violence, in particular in eastern Ghouta and the Afrin region.
The rare official letter sent to all French media comes at a time when Paris has grown increasingly frustrated by Russia's failure to push the implementation of a U.N.-backed truce, suspicions that forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad may have used chemical weapons, and seen Turkey press ahead with an offensive against Kurdish militants.
French President Emmanuel Macron on March 12 suggested he could unilaterally intervene with air strikes if chemical weapons had been used.
"In the context of an upsurge in violence in Syria, in particular eastern Ghouta and the Afrin region ... we would be grateful if you would give up any plans to go to this country or to send reporters," Foreign ministry spokeswoman Agnes Von der Muhll wrote.
Speaking to Europe 1 radio on Friday, the head of the French army Francois Lecointre said his forces were ready to act in Syria if needed.
"Obviously, it would probably be in coordination with the Americans," he said. "France can act independently, but there is solidarity in acting with a strategic ally, and one with the same vision of the situation in Syria and the crossing of these red lines."
Macron has since last May warned that he would not accept a failure to open humanitarian corridors in Syria or the use of chemical weapons. Both, he said, were "red lines".
After persistent reports of chlorine attacks, Macron has repeated that France could launch air strikes against government targets if there was clear evidence from French intelligence that chemical weapons had been used with lethal effect.

What are the biggest social and environmental challenges of the current generation? How are organizations working on solutions? What are the career possibilities in this area?
The first is the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs or "Global Goals"), which offer a framework for exploring topics like equality, responsible consumption, climate change, and the partnerships needed to work towards solutions. While the program zooms in on four goals in particular, students will also have the chance to explore where the goals overlap and connect.
Outdoor activities like hiking, waterfall swimming, and zip-lining in the rainforest are the program's second area of focus. These elements not only bring a sense of adventure to the program, but also offer additional chances to consider Costa Rica's approach to environmental conservation.
Finally, the program connects participants with peers and local NGOs in San José and La Fortuna to further engage with topics related to sustainable development and career the possibilities in this area. This includes a trip to a local eco-center, educational initiatives, and a sustainable farm where the group will be able to volunteer for part of the day.
Adding to the excitement of this new initiative, InterExchange has launched a Sustain Grant, which offsets the $2,295 program fee as well as expedited passport fees for selected participants. The Sustain Grant has been launched in celebration of the third annual Global Goals Week, which will take place September 22-29. During Global Goals Week, organizations worldwide will be stepping up their efforts to promote and further progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals. Numerous events have already been scheduled, including New York's Global Citizen festival in Central Park on September 29th, and a Global Day of Action on September 25th (the anniversary of the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals).
Sustainable Action Costa Rica applicants must be U.S. citizens 18 or older. To be eligible for the Sustain Grant, additional eligibility requirements apply and applications must be submitted by October 17th.

Biography (Shakira)
Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll (born February 2, 1977), known professionally as Shakira, is a Grammy-award winning Colombian singer-songwriter, musician, composer, record producer, music-video director, dancer, choreographer, instrumentalist and philanthropist who has sold over eighty million albums worldwide. She has won two Grammy awards, ten Latin Grammy awards, seven Billboard Music Awards, twenty-seven Latin Billboard Awards and has been nominated for a Golden Globe. She has been in the music industry since 1990, releasing her first album the following year. A child prodigy, she began writing poems and songs at age four and taught herself the guitar at age ten. The death of a half sibling and her father's reaction to it inspired her to write her first full song at age eight.
Little known outside her native Colombia, it wasn't until 1995 when Shakira took full creative control over her music, a fusion of rock and dance pop with both deeply personal and biting political lyrics....

Nigeria sliding into political Armageddon
By Olabode Lucas
At the best of time, Nigeria has never been an easy country to govern since the 1914 amalgamation of the northern and southern parts of the country. A very prominent northern leader in his lifetime called this 1914 amalgamation, a mistake and recent events in the country seem to corroborate this leader's assertion that the amalgamation was really a fatal mistake. Another prominent leader, from the southern part of the country also called the country a mere geographical expression similar to the way Sir Winston Churchill described India sub-continent. Our usual rancorous and ethnic-based politics, is a clear justification for this statement. Even the British found the country a bit confounding with more than 250 ethnic nationalities. The British when they were ruling the country, had to contend with the 1929 Aba women riot, 1949 Enugu Iva Valley coal mine massacre of 21 coal miners, the 1945 general strike led by the patriotic Michael Imoudu and persistent agitations by anti-imperialist nationalists backed by vocal press like the defunct Daily Service and West African Pilot.
The first major political crisis that engulfed the country before independence was the 1953 Kano riot. The riot stemmed from the crisis that followed Chief Anthony Enahoro's motion in the then House of Representatives urging the British to grant independence to Nigeria in 1956. The motion was opposed by northern members of the House but supported by southern members. However, the motion could not be passed, and the northern members of the House were booed in Lagos on their way to their base in the North for their opposition to the motion of independence. This did not go down with their supporters in the North who started to kill southerners in the ancient city of Kano. The then British colonial authority, managed to control the situation before it degenerated into serious inter-tribal war. However, our political fault line, quickly came to the fore immediately the country became an independent nation in 1960. The new nation was riddled with numerous political crises such as census crisis in 1962, the federal election debacle of 1964, political crises in Western Region, Middle Belt and Niger Delta between 1962 and 1965, the coup and counter coup of 1966, and the massacres and the political crisis that followed, which led to the unfortunate civil war in 1967.
The long, oppressive and dictatorial military regimes that took over from the civilians from 1966 did not bring respite to our political crises. It was during the military rule, that we had the unending and deceitful transition programmes engineered by the devious General Ibrahim Babangida, culminating in the annulment in 1993 of the freest election ever conducted in the country. After the annulment, the country groaned to the point of breakup under the dictatorship of the malevolent Sani Abacha whose inglorious regime came to abrupt end on June 8, 1998. The country's political crises under the military were so acute that many people started to question the rationale of a united Nigeria and even at this time, the international press dubbed Nigeria as 'a land of constant strife'. One cannot forget also that the military administrations institutionalized corruption in the country. However, despite the fact that the long military administration consolidated politically the grip of the north over the rest of Nigeria, surprisingly, nobody openly called for secession as we have nowadays.
However, despite our woes under the military, the country survived and people looked forward with hope that the ensuing civilian administration in 1999 would bring political stability. Unfortunately, this was not to be, as the 1999 constitution that ushered in the civilian administration was flawed as it was not in consonance with the true federalism needed to govern the country fairly. It was also, skewed to favour a particular part of the country. Apart from the obvious defects of the constitution, the civilian administrations unfortunately started with frightening insecurity challenges. The Boko Haram plague started in 2002 and since then it has ravaged the north-eastern part of the country with unrelenting ferocity. The Boko Haram insurrectionists, have killed tens of thousands of people with about three million people displaced from their homes.
In addition to the Boko Haram menace, the northern part of the country has been mercilessly invaded by bandits who are nothing but terrorists who callously extort money from people and communities. There are also Fulani herdsmen, who regularly wreak gory havoc on people in the middle belt and southern part of the country, where they kill and drive farmers from their farmers. In some cases, they occupied people's farms and homesteads with impunity. Kidnapping of innocent people for ransom, has also become cottage industry in many parts of the country. Particularly vulnerable to the kidnappers, are students whose parents have to pay huge ransoms for their release.
The present federal government under President Muhammadu, from all indications appears helpless in confronting these security challenges all over the country. Majority of Nigerians voted for him in 2015 because they believed that as a former military officer, he would be able to deal decisively with the Boko Haram. This hope has not been met, despite the fact that President Buhari has been in the saddle for the past six years. A lot of money that could have otherwise been used to develop the country has been diverted to combat the debilitating menace of Boko Haram and other security challenges in the country with minimal success.
At present, apart from the political and security challenges facing the country, the country under Buhari is under the grip of unwholesome paralysis of governance. Buhari's administration at the federal level has shown undisguised bias in favour of Fulani ethnic group to the consternation of other ethnic groups in the country. This has been a potent recipe for frustrations and violence in a multi-ethnic country like Nigeria. The administration has also compounded the polity with unbridled nepotism, the type of which has not been experienced in a fragile country like Nigeria before. Majority of appointments in the civil service and government agencies are now reserved and given with impunity to people of Fulani stock to which the President belongs. Up till now, there is no record that the government has prosecuted the herdsmen who have been causing mayhem and destruction in the middle belt and southern part of the country.
From the political doldrum we are witnessing in Nigeria presently, it seems our past political misfortunes are child play when compared with the present situation. Our present torrid political situation is characterised by economic dislocation, insecurity, religious bigotry, nepotism parochialism and administrative paralysis. Most Nigerians are despondent as they feel that they have never had it so bad, and many of them do not see any redeeming future for Nigeria. This unfortunate situation, coupled with lack of any concrete actions to change the situation have led to agitations by well-meaning Nigeria to call for a drastic change of direction in Nigeria as a country.
One does not need to be a expert in politics or nation-building to know that the present political system in the country cannot work and is not working. Only an equitable system, where there is no baron or serf and where everybody is given a sense of belonging can work. This is the only way to mute the various agitations for secession going on in many parts of the country. The present dreary political situation in Nigeria can only be changed by a selfless leader who has prepared himself to be above primordial ethnic sentiment. Nigeria has not been blessed with that type of leader who would show the light for the people to follow. Many people feel that President Buhari has shown through his actions in the past six years, that he is not the leader that can redeem the country from the present political quagmire. However, it is still possible that he can change to the surprise his detractors. The late Harold Wilson, a former Prime Minister said that a week is a long time in politics. Two years can also be a long time in politics, and so President Buhari could still rise up and use the remaining two years of his administration to be on the good side of history.

I have no idea how to approach the file "embuilt/bin/deploy-stub.js" warning nor if it's important. About Dtool_AddToDictionary, It seems to be declared in ./targetroot/usr/include/panda3d/py_panda.h. I've tried every combination of "-I" argument I can think of, but nothing works. I noticed #include "py_panda.h" is in libp3dtoolbase_igate.cxx twice. So, I wonder if it's picking up one that doesn't have the declarations.

I've only completed a few Entrelac projects over the years. I love this technique of constructing an object out of interconnected squares, it isn't as hard as it looks. While I've seen many projects that are lovely, I haven't ever seen any subtle entrelac projects... until now. I received the book Entrelac 2: New Techniques for Interlace Knitting by Rosemary Drysdale as part of my Vogue Knitting Live 2014 admission. This sequel shares new ways to do this technique AND multiple patterns that subtly take advantage of this basketweave.
I shouldn't be surprised with the idea of putting other types of stitch patterns inside an entrelac square. I learned in my cable design class how cool it is when you cable lace and ribbing, why wouldn't it be just as cool to do this with entrelac?
This book starts out with an introduction on how to start knitting entrelac. The stitch patterns are divided into six sections: Basics, Beading, Cables, Lace, Buttonholes, and Triangles. I disagree with the method Drysdale uses to bead (putting all beads on the yarn in advance), but this is really a matter of preference. Otherwise I think her tutorials are pretty helpful. I am much more intrigued by doing entrelac with cables and lace, these provide a whole new level of design to a garment.
When I got to the end of Triangles, I expected to move into the patterns but instead I found myself in a "Beyond the Basics" section. Here we are exploring Four Star, Five Star, Six Star, Zig Zag and Braid Coil type configurations of entrelac. Suddenly I am seeing some swatches that really excite me as you go beyond stockinette in these configurations. It is hard to not think of fun tams when you're going through the 6 star configurations.
In Chapter 3 we hit the projects. There is a variety of patterns from scarves and hats to sweaters and pillows. I LOVE the Color Block Mohair Tee. This is a really elegant two tone sweater with a subtle entrelac top and then stockinette body. The Pretty Patchwork Tunic has huge entrelac squares all over the main body of the sweater. I've never seen this technique look so refined as it looks in these two garments. The Shades of Gray Pillows have an unfortunate title, but are actually really pretty and modern. I wouldn't mind having some of these on my sofa, and they are a fun way to play around with the techniques. I almost did a double take with the Aran Poncho. This garment has entrelac cables on the front that are set in a way you almost wouldn't notice them as squares, you would think that magic took over the cables for them to run on a bias. Finally, I like how the Slouchy Striped Hat combines colorwork and entrelac - stripes travel through the entire hat that really highlight the entrelac.
I'm not sure whether I would have purchased this book if it weren't given to me for free, but now that I have it I'm happy that it is in my library. I'm excited to play more with entrelac and maybe try to incorporate it into some of my own designs. If you get a chance to see this book at your local library I highly recommend you take a peek!

Fan-favorite Marvel antihero Morbius will head to the silver screen next year for his own solo film, with Jared Leto playing the character. But in an era where comic book TV shows and movies try to stay relatively faithful to the source material, Leto actually turned to the character's co-creator, Roy Thomas, for advice on the Living Vampire.
As exclusively revealed to CBR by Thomas's manager, John Cimino, Leto called Thomas while in London to talk about the character, which led to Thomas helping Leto out with the role.
"Had a nice conversation this afternoon [Sat. 3-15-19] with Jared Leto, the Oscar-winning actor who plays Morbius in the upcoming film about the character that Gil Kane and I created back in 1971," Thomas said. "Jared phoned from London and we had a talk about the origins, motivations, and torment of the character. Sounds to me as if he and the producers, directors, et al., have definitely nailed Morbius as we conceived him, and I look forward to seeing the movie. I would guess it will come out in 2020."
While the film will certainly take liberties, Thomas's statement makes it clear that the cast and crew have captured the essence of Morbius, while Leto showed respect for Thomas by contacting him for advice on the character.
Directed by Daniel Espinosa (Life) from a script written by Burk Sharpless and Matt Sazama (Lost in Space), Sony's Morbius stars Jared Leto as the titular character, Matt Smith as Loxias Crown, Adria Arjona as Martine Bancroft and Jared Harris. The film will hit theaters on July 31, 2020.

Prof paper examines Patriot Act
Christopher Bellas
For many people, the implementation of the Patriot Act less than two months after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, just made air travel more of a hassle.
For Christopher Bellas, assistant professor of Criminal Justice, it raised lots of questions about civil liberties and freedom.
In a recent paper titled "The USA Patriot Act: Legislative (In) Justice?" published in The Homeland Security Review, Bellas discusses the legal aspects of the Patriot Act, privacy as a right, and the law from a philosophical point of view.
Bellas said that much of the controversy over the Patriot Act, signed into law by President George W. Bush on Oct. 26, 2001, is its subtle broadening the scope of the investigative powers of law enforcement, giving police and others more latitude with respect to searches of people and places.
"In the article, I show that the Patriot Act amends existing laws rather than creating new ones," he said, allowing for more intrusive use of surveillance under the umbrella of national emergency or security.
For instance, Bellas said the Patriot Act amends the Wiretap Act of 1968 to include a broader use of the term "wire communication," extending beyond phones to most electronic devices. The Patriot Act also amends the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 by changing the word sole to significant, with regard to the threshold requirement for obtaining a warrant, he said.
"This, of course, has become a contentious, albeit not new issue in criminal justice," he said. "The concept of crime control versus civil liberties, and the idea of freedom versus government powers, have been debated for years."
The ever-changing issue facing law and society is a topic that Bellas has studied for the past 15 years. He earned his PhD from Kent State University in Political Science, specializing in Justice Studies, a master's degree from YSU in Criminal Justice, and a bachelor's degree from Edinboro University of Pennsylvania, also in Political Science.
Bellas almost settled into a career path he didn't really want, as a business administration major at Edinboro. "I used to be a B or C (grade) student in business," he said. "Then I took my second course in Political Science – Constitutional law – and I knew I was on to something."
Bellas is currently working on a book chapter for a law and society textbook, has been invited to author a book on self-defense and stand-your-ground laws, and is writing another encyclopedia article on the court system, this time on jury trials.

Murdering Babies – Part 2; Are Judges Above the Law?
March 5, 2019 Patrick Wyett Abortion 2
By Patrick Wyett:
Patrick Wyett
In "Murdering Babies Part 1; Can Judges Make Laws?" the constitutionality of judicial review was questioned. Judicial Review is the theory that judges/courts can strike down laws as "unconstitutional" and also thwart presidential policies by decree. To some, this sounds good. What if the president or Congress becomes tyrannical? Judges, up to the Supreme Court, can then look into their misdeeds and apply the law to save us. That's a pleasant thought, isn't it? But is that how it actually works? Noble judges whose only fidelity is to the law, serving as the ultimate guardians of our Constitutional Republic?
Can a law mean two separate and opposing ideas simultaneously? No, of course not. Can a law as written be specific in its intent yet be construed, contorted and twisted to mean something totally unrelated? Common sense would indicate no but the answer is yes, it happens routinely. That's the reason we have split court decisions such as the 7-2 Roe v Wade decision "legalizing" baby murder and the 5-4 Obergefell v. Hodges decision "legalizing" sodomite marriage. The "why" is that there are two prevailing judicial philosophies in play; Original Intent and Judicial Positivism. Proponents of Original Intent (Originalists) view laws as they were debated, intended and written. They say and mean today exactly what they said and meant when they were passed. You'd think this would be the only sane and acceptable judicial philosophy a judge could hold.
Or are laws essentially without form until given meaning by the typically liberal opinions of a plurality of judges, as is the foundational philosophy of Judicial Positivism; the jurisprudential idea that the legitimacy of a law depends on its being enacted in proper form (as a judge sees fit), rather than on its content (what the legislators debated, intended and established). This latter sort of thinking is precisely why the writers of the Constitution, in their wisdom, did not bestow the power of judicial review to the judiciary though it was indeed discussed. Yet over time, such an important issue can be omitted from the public discourse. Fundamental principles are forgotten. And a distracted, complacent, and yes, ignorant people can be led to believe things that were never true. Things like judges can make new laws by altering or abolishing existing ones. Combining unconstitutional judicial review with the widespread cancer of Judicial Positivism has made a mockery of the rule of law, spearheaded the destruction of God-given morality across the culture, and has proven deadly to our babies.
Also known as judicial activism, Judicial Positivism has five basic tenets as outlined by John Eidsmoe in his excellent book, "Christianity and the Constitution". My comments follow each bullet point.
1) There are no objective, God-given standards of law, or if there are, they are irrelevant to the modern legal system.
This ideology openly rejects the God of the Bible. Sir William Blackstone was an English Jurist (judge). His "Commentaries on the Laws of England" was the primary law book of the founders; those who authored and established the US Constitution. His ideas reflect 1500 years of Western Civilization jurisprudence. Said Blackstone: "Man…must necessarily be subject to the laws of his Creator, for he is entirely a dependent being…And, consequently, as man depends absolutely upon his Maker for everything, it is necessary that he should in all points conform to his Maker's will." That means that God's law aren't just for "religious" life, but are foundational to proper civil laws as well. Again Blackstone: "No enactment of man can be considered law unless it conforms to the law of God." Abortion does not.
2) Since God is not the author of law, the author of law must be man; in other words, law is law simply because the highest human authority, the state, has said it is law and is able to back it up by force.
The Declaration of Independence represents the philosophy, spirit and cause of our nation's founding while the Constitution is the resultant legal document that establishes the new government of that founding. The Declaration of Independence begins, "WHEN in the Course of human Events, it becomes necessary for one People to dissolve the Political Bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the Powers of the Earth, the separate and equal Station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent Respect to the Opinions of Mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the Separation." Nature's God refers to the God of the Bible. Laws of Nature are God's laws as written in the Bible. God is both the law-giver and the source of human rights. The second paragraph of the Declaration of Independence states; "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator (God) with certain unalienable Rights (rights that no man or government can lawfully take from an individual), that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
The unalienable right to life forbids murder.
"Thou shalt not kill (murder)." (Exodus 20:13)
Abortion is the elective murder of a proscribed portion of our population, the innocent unborn. Lawless judges revere recent liberal precedent and abortion sets a dangerous one. What's the next class of people that can be murdered? How about babies after birth? That's called Infanticide. Democrats just blocked a bill in the Senate that would have required medical care to babies that survive abortions. Then there's this:
"Both a fetus and a newborn certainly are human beings and potential persons, but neither is a 'person' in the sense of 'subject of a moral right to life'. We take 'person' to mean an individual who is capable of attributing to her own existence some (at least) basic value such that being deprived of this existence represents a loss to her… Merely being human is not in itself a reason for ascribing someone a right to life." – Alberto Giubilini & Francesca Minerva, Journal of Medical Ethics, Volume 39, Issue 5
With this view in mind, are there any limits to who can be murdered? How about the old? The infirm? Those holding the wrong political view? Christians? Don't think this hyperbole, these groups have comprised the victims' lists of various past and present tyrannies. And will again.
3) Since man and society evolve, therefore law must evolve as well.
Article 5 of the US Constitution allows for the only two ways in which the Constitution can be amended; through the Amendment process or by a Convention of States. Judicial "rulings" are not any part of either. Statutory laws (laws passed by legally established legislatures) must abide within constitutional limits and should reflect the will of the people, not judges or politicians. "The fundamental principle of our constitution … enjoins the sense of command, duty that the will of the majority shall prevail." – George Washington; 1st President of the US and President of the Constitutional Convention which framed the Constitution.
4) Judges, through their decisions, guide the evolution of law (Note again: judges "make law").
There is no evolution of law through the judiciary. Article 6 of the US Constitution states in part; "This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding." Judges are bound by the Constitution. Their opinions are not equal or superior to it. Note also that states can't pass laws that violate the limitations of the Constitution.
Article 6 continues, "The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution;" All judges, at every level, are bound by an oath to support the Constitution as written, no rewriting option given or inferred, no interpretation needed when laws plainly state what they mean.
5) In the study of law, rather than going to the original law for context and understanding, law students are directed to the decisions of judges; hence most law schools today use the "case law" method of teaching law.
By such direction, judges' opinions become law while the laws themselves are ignored. Legal Positivism has led to wicked outcomes such as abortion, sodomy and sodomite marriage being "legalized" while removing prayer and the Bible from public schools. Remember, "legal" does not make something that's immoral in God's eyes, lawful.
"Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men." (Acts 5:29)
Abortion is an evil that liberals couldn't pass legislatively so they took it to the judiciary for the dictatorial edict of the Roe v Wade decision. We can glean much in the dissenting opinion of Justice William Rehnquist, later to become US Supreme Court Chief Justice.
"To reach its result, the Court necessarily has had to find within the scope of the Fourteenth Amendment a right that was apparently completely unknown to the drafters of the Amendment. As early as 1821, the first state law dealing directly with abortion was enacted by the Connecticut Legislature. By the time of the adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment in 1868, there were at least 36 laws enacted by state or territorial legislatures limiting abortion. While many States have amended or updated their laws, 21 of the laws on the books in 1868 remain in effect today."—Supreme Court Justice William Rehnquist
The Fourteenth Amendment was passed by Congress June 13, 1866 to extend citizenship to all former slaves after the end of the Civil War in 1865. That was its sole intent. The subject of abortion was never brought up in the debate, mentioned in the Amendment, or was in any way part of the ratification process that concluded July 9, 1868.
"Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." – 14th Amendment to the US Constitution
If anything, "nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law", should strongly condemn depriving babies, which are unborn persons, of life through the murder of abortion. Yet the intent of the 14th Amendment in Roe v Wade wasn't followed, a liberal political agenda was.
"I find nothing in the language or history of the Constitution to support the Court's judgment. The Court simply fashions and announces a new constitutional right for pregnant women (186 years after the Constitution was written) and, with scarcely any reason or authority for its action, invests that right with sufficient substance to override most existing state abortion statutes. The upshot is that the people and the legislatures of the 50 States are constitutionally disentitled to weigh the relative importance of the continued existence and development of the fetus, on the one hand, against a spectrum of possible impacts on the woman, on the other hand. As an exercise of raw judicial power, the Court perhaps has authority to do what it does today; but, in my view, its judgment is an improvident and extravagant exercise of the power of judicial review that the Constitution extends to this Court." –Supreme Court Justice Byron White
So pervasive is the idea that the judiciary is given the authority of judicial review that Justice White indicates his belief in it, even while rejecting Judicial Positivism in his dissent of the horrific Roe v Wade decision. Pragmatism, perhaps.
So here we are, the way things are rather than the way things should be. What, pray tell, is our duty before God as Christians and citizens? "Murdering Babies Part 3; Legacy of a Dead Nation Walking" will answer this question in the conclusion of this article series.

Twilight Zone Season 2 Trailer: Adjust Your Set
BY Salomé Gonstad June 19, 2020June 19, 2020
I am a huge fan of Rod Serling and the original Twilight Zone. I've spent time internally debating my top 5 episodes and I can quote liberally from those episodes. But it's not just the original–I've enjoyed the reboots over the years. Then came the reboot on CBS All Access, of which I can most charitably say that I was whelmed. So let's check out the Twilight Zone season 2 trailer and see if it ups our whelm level.
Wait, What Was Wrong with Season 1?

I mean, nothing, really. There was nothing super objectionable about the first season…and that's part of the problem. Although I didn't finish the season, I watched a respectable number for review. And of the ones I saw, most of them were too long–they should be a half hour, like the original–and too bland to make an impact. They either didn't have a central thesis or it was too muddled to be effective.
The rare exception to this, though, was the episode "Replay." In the story, mom Nina (Sanaa Lathan) and her son, Dorian (Damson Idris), are trying to complete a rite of passage–moving-in day at college. However, they keep running into a police officer, Officer Lasky (Glenn Fleshler), and each encounter ends tragically. I say "keep" and "each" because Nina's discovered that her old camcorder has the power to rewind time. It's not as fortuitous as you might think, though, because, like I said, it keeps ending badly. The episode suggests, as we've sadly seen in real life, that a camera might not be the weapon we think it is. It's also the only episode I watched where I didn't know exactly how it would all play out. It's a tense slice of TV that keeps you anxious until the very end. They'd do well to keep that vibe in season 2.
The Twilight Zone Season 2 Trailer: Let's Watch and Find Out
And they just might. Because on first watch, this season seems to have more of a spooky-ooky vibe than season 1. Regarding last season, Jordan Peele told The New York Times, "It can't go so dark that it makes us want to curl up in a ball," buuuut, why not? Peele explained that this was part of the show's "Serling wink," but the real Serling was a WWII vet who exorcised his demons through the writing of the original show. As such, the original show wasn't all puppies and sunshine. It dealt with death, war crimes, bigotry, and other difficult topics. And it didn't shy away from the horror of it all.
So it's encouraging that the trailer hints at more disturbing fare. But hints are all we have right now besides glimpses of some famous faces. As you can see from the trailer, actors like Billy Porter, Morena Baccarin, Christopher Meloni, Jimmi Simpson, Tavi Gevinson, Kylie Bunbury, and Tony Hale will be starring in episodes.
The Twilight Zone season 2 will premiere on CBS All Access on June 25.
As always, let us know what you think. Did you spot anyone or anything in the trailer that has you intrigued? Tell us below or on social media.

Aesop Rock 2,872
AKA: Ian Bavitz, Ian Matthias Bavitz, and Bazooka Tooth
@AesopRock
About Aesop Rock
Born Ian Matthias Bavitz, Aesop Rock was a pioneer in the new wave of underground hip-hop in New York City during the early 2000s. Regarding his name, he said:
I acquired the name Aesop from a movie I had acted in with some friends. It was my character's name and it sort of stuck. The rock part came later just from throwing it in rhymes.
Aesop has a solid discography with 8 albums spanning over the course of 20+ years. He started in 1999 by selling his first album, Music for Earthworms, through his website while he was a student at Boston University. He has since gained a cult following and been named one of the best artists of the 2000s. His most successful albums are None Shall Pass, Skelethon, and The Impossible Kid which peaked on the Billboard 200 at #50, #21, and #30 respectively.
Throughout his career he has been hailed as one of the most verbose rappers of all time. A 2012 analysis of rap vocabulary ranked Aesop #1 with 7,392 unique words in the first 35,000 lyrics. This analysis was later revisited to encompass new artists and Aesop remained #1 with an increased word count of 7,879 unique words in the first 35,000 lyrics. The analyst, Matt Daniels, described Aesops position on the chart:
When I first published this analysis, I excluded Aesop Rock, figuring he was too obscure. The Reddit hip-hop community was in an uproar, claiming that Aesop would absolutely be #1. Sure enough, Aesop Rock is well above every artist in the dataset, and I was obliged to add him to the chart.
In addition to rapping he is an accomplished producer known for his drum machine loops and obscure samples. He produced many of his own songs as well as many songs for other artists. His production skills lead him to score the soundtracks for the films Bushwick and Infinity Baby. The soundtrack for Bushwick consisted of 17 original tracks and was released by Aesop alongside the release of the film. The soundtrack for Infinity Baby contained 12 original tracks and was not released outside of use in the film.
Throughout his career he has worked collaboratively as a member of many groups:
The Weathermen, a collaboration with Tame One, Cage, Yak Ballz, El-P, and Breeze Brewin;
Dirty Ghosts, a rock band lead by Aesop's ex-wife Allyson Baker;
Hail Mary Mallon, a collaboration with Rob Sonic and DJ Big Wiz;
Two of Every Animal, a collaboration with Cage that never took off;
The Uncluded, a collaboration with anti-folk singer Kimya Dawson;
LICE, a collaboration with fellow rapper Homeboy Sandman that releases their music for free;
Malibu Ken, a collaboration with psychedelic electronic artist TOBACCO;
Aesop Rock X Blockhead, a collaboration that was only named in 2021 but has spanned Aesop's entire career.

Bengals coach Marvin Lewis addresses 'fallacy' of replay Marvin Lewis addresses 'fallacy' of replay Check out this story on cincinnati.com: http://cin.ci/2df412H

Uzomah (87) falls out of bounds in the back of the end zone during the Week 2 NFL football game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Cincinnati Bengals, Sunday, Sept. 18, 2016, at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh. At the half, Pittsburgh leads, 10-6.(Photo: Kareem Elgazzar)
On Monday, Cincinnati Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis spent more than half of his press conference having to talk about non-football issues following his team's 24-16 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers the day before – this time regarding the use (or non-use) of instant replay on three key plays from the game.
All three plays in question came about in the second half, beginning with what looked like a fumble Rex Burkhead caused in punt coverage by knocking the ball loose from Pittsburgh Steelers returner Eli Rogers. The officials had immediately ruled Rogers down by contact and because of that, there was confusion as to who actually came up with the ball. That led to the play not being challenged or reviewed.
Pittsburgh wound up punting on that possession from the 50-yard line.
The second came when officials ruled tight end C.J. Uzomah out of bounds following a catch in the back of the end zone on a second-and-goal play from the Steelers' 3-yard line. Lewis said after the game that he was told Uzomah came down out of bounds, which is why he did not challenge the play.
Later replay reviews and still images indicated the possibility that Uzomah's knee came down in bounds, but Lewis noted that the big screens inside Heinz Field did not show replays of that.
Finally, slowed down and still images of wide receiver Tyler Boyd's drive-ending fumble in the fourth quarter indicated he may have down before the ball came out. That play was reviewed because it was under two minutes and a turnover, and was upheld.
"You've gotta have clear evidence," Lewis said.
Such plays led Lewis to address the mechanics around such plays that often lead to immediate armchair quarterbacking.
"First, let's clear one thing up: the coaches don't get a view like (the media) think they get," he said. "That's such a fallacy of television, of what they get upstairs. They don't get that. It doesn't come immediately. We've got to go to the next play. That's such a fallacy that TV announcers say time and time again. I heard it again last night (on Sunday Night Football) during (Mike) Zimmer's game. It's not the way it works. I don't know why they have that opinion that they have that. They don't have that viewpoint and that ability to toggle back and forth. So it's got to be a quick – the person in charge of that has got to make a quick judgement and tell me what he feels and then we've got to go from there. They don't have that. That's unfortunate. We had one come up a week ago in New York. It just doesn't work that way. Those screens went blank (Sunday).
"Even at the end (with Boyd), when they showed them, everybody on the field thought obviously thought the opposite and it didn't work that way."
Bengals Walkthru: Sending Monday emojis
Later on Sunday, NFL senior vice president of officiating Dean Blandino tweeted out a video explaining that the reviewing officials did not have clear enough evidence to overturn the ruling on Boyd's fumble.
Lewis, a member of the league's competition committee, said game officials are graded on getting the calls right and replay reviews shouldn't enter their mind when making a call on the field.

When asked Monday if he felt replay created more issues than not, he acknowledged technology has made the job more difficult.
"High definition television has made this a lot harder for what the officials do," Lewis said. "They've got to make a decision. Everything they see, they've got to rule on it, judge on it the right way. High definition television, you can stop it and we can pinpoint it and it makes a difference. It's made a difference in the timing of football games, it's made a difference in so many things.
"You used to kick a 45-yard field goal with six seconds left and the clock could run out. Then they said, 'no, look, that's only going to be four seconds.' So now we have standards. It's the same thing with the ball thrown out of bounds. All those things, there's certain standards about how much time is going to run off, because of high definition television, the ability to stop it at some point, look at the clock, and compare. So it's changed that. Obviously, everybody wants high definition television – we don't want to go back to the old way – so, it's where we are."

Huckleberry is becoming one of the roasters I get most excited to see represented at cafes across the country. They're one of the players in the game where, if I see them in your shop, I know you're gonna be good. So I was really pumped to finally get to visit their cafe and roasting facility in Denver's Sunnyside neighborhood. I wasn't disappointed. The space is wide open, with a big garage window, that opens up to create a community table, half inside and half out. Set in a really cute residential area, Huckleberry definitely feels like the community center for the neighborhood. A great, sprawling patio space frames the area out front. Inside, playful, colorful murals dance across the walls, in a somehow understated, blithely pleasant way.
The staff is friendly and open, ready to chat, happy to serve, and able to educate. They're doing some really great stuff with their coffees. The roasting space in the back of the shop is cranking out some truly tasty coffee, and the simplicity of their brand can't quite encapsulate the complexity of the flavors coming out of their beans. There's something simultaneously very childlike, and profoundly mature about the whole experience. This is the sort of shop where you swing through for a coffee to go, and then four or five hours later, you're just realizing you never left; they're attitude towards community is strong can be felt throughout each interaction. It's good coffee, they're great people, and they're working with some of the best shops I've been to recently. Can't go wrong. Pro-tip: Lavender Shortbread changed the game for me. If they have it, go ahead and do yourself a favor and order one or nine.

"You piss me off you Salmon... You're too expensive in restaurants."
This is a great variation on ordinary tacos using some of the healthiest of all ingredients � salmon, avocado, pumpkin seeds.... It's really simple to make and the clean up is easy too. If you don't like the spinach, use any lettuce.
This recipe makes good leftovers. Keep the salad chilled until ready to make the tacos. Note that cooking time does not include chilling time.
Place a medium skillet in the oven and preheat to 325�F.
When the pan is hot add the salmon. Roast for about 15 minutes. Remove and let cool.
While the salmon is roasting, fold together the diced avocado, orange sections, red pepper, pepitas, oregano, chili powder, salt and pepper. Chill.
When the salmon is cooked, remove and place in the refrigerator to cool. When chilled, flake the salmon into the bowl with the salad. Fold together with the spinach leaves and chill until ready to serve.
When ready to serve, divide the salad evenly between the 6 taco shells and serve.

Historic Stone Landmarks at Risk
February 9, 2015 February 10, 2016 / oldstonehouses / Leave a comment
Saving old buildings seems a struggle, a tug of war between individuals who seek to preserve our heritage and those in charge of the structure, the land it sits on … or the purse strings.
Right now, two stone structures are at risk as groups involved in their care work to reach compromise.

The Steuben House, located at Historic New Bridge Landing in River Edge, New Jersey, is a Revolutionary War landmark, as it witnessed an important retreat from British forces led by Gen. George Washington on November 20, 1776, and also served as Washington's headquarters for a time in 1780. The sandstone building, an excellent example of Dutch colonial architecture, is long overdue for repairs; talks are ongoing amongst parties involved: the Bergen County Historical Society, the state of New Jersey and the Department of Environmental Protection. Difficulty in raising funds to make repairs and improvements and disputes over types of improvements that can be made at the park have delayed progress.
The Newburgh Dutch Reformed Church is a fine example of Greek Revival style. The endangered fieldstone building needs a new roof. Source: Abandonedhudsonvalley.com.
A New York state historic site in desperate need of TLC, the former Newburgh Dutch Reformed Church is an outstanding example of Greek Revival style. The church, designed by famed American architect Alexander Jackson Davis, was built in 1838 on a hill overlooking the Hudson River. The structure, reminiscent of the ancient Greek temple at Illissos, rests on a five-foot-high podium, features four 37-foot-tall columns and fieldstone walls that were once covered in stucco and painted to resemble stone. In recent years, wall and ceiling collapses have left the building vulnerable to decay and vandalism. Funds to stabilize a failing roof are desperately needed; the city of Newburgh and the Newburgh Preservation Association have reached out to Newburgh's Community Land Bank for assistance.

An Early German Stone Home Too Far Gone?
January 14, 2015 February 10, 2016 / oldstonehouses / Leave a comment
Christian Herr II House, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, Photo, Lancasteronline.com
The Christian Herr II House, a two-story stucco-over-stone home located in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, was just added to the 2015 Watch List of Most Threatened Historic Properties in Lancaster County by the Lancaster County Preservation Trust. The oldest portion of the home dates to 1734 and was built by the son of Christian Herr I, an early settler who built the Hans Herr House, the oldest original Mennonite meeting house still standing in the Western Hemisphere.
According ot owners Randy and Christine Andrews, who have been renovating the home for the past six to seven years, the home suffers from two bowed beams (one significantly cracked), deteriorating stone and mortar and the effects of poorly handled additions/alternations. The couple would like to demolish the home and build new, a plan recently approved by their local planning commission. The Andrews said existing details and materials would be salvaged for use in construction of the new home.
Local historians hope to come to a compromise with the couple: to save the oldest portions of the home (circa-1734 and 1760) and/or the most important architectural details, namely the original attic beams, entrance and cellar.
"Situated on the southern portion of the original 530 acres purchased from William Penn (1644-1718), this house is one of the oldest still standing of those built by the second generation of Lancaster County's earliest settlers," says the trust. "Even though changes have been made to this house over the years, it still reflects the Germanic architectural style of its roots."
What would you do? Bear the financial burden and restore at all costs or raze and build a new home that reflects the past?

using the smaller tiles around the fixtures gives you easy cuts!
this bathroom used to be pink 50's tile, the pieces here were all laid out on the floor to vary the shades and texture, favorite shapes were placed at eye level, so if you are in the shower you see the 'cool' pieces, regular stuff placed near the floor behind sink etc. one of the tiles looked like an elephant. mark all your tiles with the direction on the back that you want them placed with and arrow. # the tiles in rows and columns, write the system on the wall too, put it together like a puzzle. this way you won't have tons of light or dark patches.
there are not alot of designs shared on flicker of actual work, but a lot of adverstisements so we thought we would share some more work projects, since the tile work done on my brothers bathroom has so many hits.
there are not alot of designs shared on flicker of actual work, but a lot of adverstisements so we thought we would share so more work projects, since the tile work done on my brothers bathroom has so many hits.
First off I was at the gym to work out and found out that the plumbers could lay the tile this morning. I was gladly flexible and simply hurriedly drove home. Then it turned out that one box of tiles was 1/8" smaller than the other so he couldn't make the floor match. So I was somewhat less graciously flexible and hurriedly went to Home Depot to pick a different tile. (The hurriedly part comes in here since we're paying $100 a hour for two people.).... Then he laid the flooring with these flexible tile spacers. I was fortunately physically flexible enough to lie down in the hallway to shoot this spot. And even better, I was able to get back up.
So the good news is we are making progress. Who knows what may happen tomorrow?
