Japan Made Easy
By Sandeep Goyal
For the average Indian, Japan is the land of the bullet train, zippy cars, and geisha girls, as also hard to understand. However, what appears to be opaque and insular to the world outside turns out to be a society that is friendly, intimate, and closely knit together when you get to know it better. In Japan Made Easy, Sandeep Goyal, an old hand at explaining the country, takes us on a joyous roller coaster ride through Japanese aesthetics, business, culture, food, philosophy, spirituality, and much else, to make this land of mystery and mystique familiar to us. With India's rising number of tourists to Japan and Olympics 2020 on the horizon, this book is the best guide to a complex, nuanced and an utterly lovable country.

In Breema, we say actual change begins with a change in our level of being. Although this may seem complicated, it is actually very simple. However, it requires something of us which we do not do because we have not received proper support or guidance. This is precisely what prevents change. As long as our level of being remains untouched, nothing changes.
Breema addresses change and raising our level of being in a straightforward and practical way called body-mind connection. When the attention of the mind registers the activity of the body, we experience a tangible shift in our level of being. We become familiar with a new mind, our mind, a mind that functions non-descriptively and with inner attention. We are introduced to the existence of the body via breath and weight, a unique and distinct experience unconditioned by the sensation-based body with which we are unconsciously identified. This experience generates a form of knowledge which we call the taste of being present. It forms the foundation for a new level of consciousness and awakens our potential for actual change.
Using Breema's Nine Principles of Harmony as a framework for study, this class presents an introduction to Breema's practical philosophy of purposeful living. The class includes instruction in Breema bodywork, Self-Breema exercises and body-centered meditation and movement. No prior experience is needed. For more information visit www.breema.org.


In early 2019 we'll be working with selected community and industry groups throughout New Zealand to try out and refine the Find-A-Pest app. Our main case studies are with the kiwifruit and forestry industries and selected community groups and contractors that work with Southland, Auckland, and Northland Councils.
We'll add more details on those case studies here as they progress. For everyone else, we'd welcome your feedback. Tap on over to our Feedback page for details of how to get involved.

Social Distancing to Prevent the Spread of Coronavirus
Keeping a physical distance of 6 feet can help stop the spread of coronavirus.
Social distancing means keeping distance or space between people to help prevent the spread of illness. To help slow the spread and reduce your risk of COVID-19, stay at least 6 feet away from others. Keeping physical distance is important, even if you are not sick.
Stay home as much as possible.
Avoid public places like stores, gyms, movie theatres, and restaurants as much as possible.
Do not meet in large groups at school, church, or work.
Limit public transportation. Keep a safe distance between yourself and fellow passengers.
Limit contact with anyone who does not live at your house, including friends and other family.
Wash your hands often, especially after being in public places. Use soap and water, and scrub for at least 20 seconds. If you don't have access to soap and water, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. Cover all surfaces of your hands and rub them together until they feel dry.
Social distancing is especially important for cancer patients and others who have weak immune systems. Read more about COVID-19 in Children with Cancer.
Keep a Physical Distance but Stay Connected Socially
You may have heard the term "physical distancing". This helps stress the importance of keeping a physical distance. During stressful times, it is even more important to stay connected socially and emotionally with friends and family. For now, we need to support one another but while keeping a physical distance as much as possible.
Why Is Social Distancing Important?
The coronavirus spreads easily through the spray of tiny droplets from coughs and sneezes. It can also spread through everyday contact, such as through shaking hands and sharing items. Some people may not have symptoms but can still spread the virus to others. Even when people feel better, they may be able to spread the virus for a time.
How Do I Explain Social Distancing to Kids?
Explain that the best way to keep from getting sick, or from passing germs onto someone else, is to keep a safe distance away from other people. Germs are very tiny so we can't see them. A cough or sneeze can spread germs through the air for up to 6 feet. They can also live on surfaces like a doorknob or phone. That is why we need to be extra safe: stay home and away from others, wash hands often, and cover our coughs and sneezes.
Although being safe is a good practice all the time, we hope that things will be more normal soon. Doctors and scientists are working to learn more about how this new virus spreads and to develop medicines that can help treat it.
Get more tips on talking to your child about coronavirus and COVID-19.
Science for Kids: Ideas to Talk About Social Distancing
Use a fine mist spray bottle to talk about respiratory droplets and how germs spread through coughs or sneezes.
Estimate distance. Have a contest to see who can mark 6 feet the best. Talk about what that means in everyday life.
Discuss the importance of personal space. You might even identify potential "space invaders" and when it might be hard to stay away from others. Come up with ideas to help. Also, discuss what to say to friends who might not have the same "rules" for playdates.
Social Distancing at Home
Respect "personal space," even among family members.
Do not share personal items.
Keep high-touch surfaces clean. Pay attention to items like phones, remotes, and doorknobs.
Limit guests inside your home. This includes family members who do not live with you.
Do not visit other people's homes, especially if they are older.
Do not allow children to have playdates or sleepovers.
Exercise at home or outside.
Prepare a "sick room" to use in case a family member has symptoms of illness.
Make it a practice for everyone to wash their hands as soon as they enter the house.
Read more from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on preparing your home.
Social Distancing at Work
Work from home if possible.
Meet remotely using video or phone conferencing.
Avoid high-traffic or shared areas like cafeterias or break rooms.
Make sure high-touch areas are kept clean. Pay attention to frequently used items like phones and keyboards.
Limit meetings to 10 people or fewer.
Limit the number of people in elevators and shared offices.
Follow state and national guidelines for workplaces.
Read more from the CDC on how businesses and employers should prepare.
Social Distancing in Your Community
Stay home when possible except for essential shopping or doctor's visits. If you must get out, try to go when crowds are lowest.
Call ahead if you need to go to the doctor.
Get medicines using a drive-thru pharmacy or by mail.
Limit public transportation.
Use drive-thru, pick-up, or delivery services from restaurants and other businesses.
Keep a safe distance away from other people at parks and on walking paths and trails.
Avoid shared playground or sports equipment.
Do not use public bathrooms or drinking fountains.
Read more from the CDC on how communities should prepare.
When a person who has the coronavirus coughs or sneezes, respiratory droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby. Droplets from a sneeze can travel up to 6 feet.
How Does Coronavirus Spread?
COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease 2019) is an illness caused by a new type of coronavirus called SARS-CoV-2. The virus easily spreads from person to person. Based on what is currently known, there are several ways that the virus may spread:
When a person who has the virus coughs or sneezes, respiratory droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby.
Droplets in the air that contain the virus may be inhaled into the lungs.
The virus may be spread through direct contact with a person, like through a handshake.
The virus may spread when a person touches a surface with the virus and then touches their eyes, nose, or mouth. The virus may live on some surfaces for up to a few days. However, this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads.
What Does It Mean to "Flatten the Curve"?
The "curve" is used to show how many people get sick with COVID-19 at one time. The coronavirus that causes COVID-19 spreads easily through close contact with others. When a lot of people get sick at the same time, it makes it hard for doctors and hospitals to treat everyone.
The goal of social distancing is to slow the spread of the virus or flatten the curve. Fewer people will get sick at one time. People will still get sick, but it will happen at a slower rate — the curve will be flatter. This will help doctors and hospitals be able to take care of the people with COVID-19, especially those who are very sick.
The goal of social distancing is to slow the spread of the virus or flatten the curve. If people stay home and avoid contact with one another, the virus won't spread as fast. Fewer people will get sick at one time. People will still get sick, but it will happen at a slower rate — the curve will be flatter.
Social Distancing, Quarantine, and Isolation – What Is the Difference?
Social distancing during coronavirus
Social distancing means limiting close contact between yourself and others in your community, even if you are not sick or at risk. This is a voluntary practice to help stop the spread of COVID-19.
Quarantine during coronavirus
Quarantine or self-quarantine means staying at home and avoiding contact with others because you are at risk for COVID-19 due to possible exposure. If you are in quarantine, you should take steps to keep from passing illness on to others in your home: wash hands regularly, do not share household items, sleep in a separate bedroom, and use a separate bathroom. Quarantine may also be ordered by health departments or federal or state officials.
Someone who has been exposed to the virus but does not have symptoms should self-quarantine for 14 days. After 14 days with no symptoms, you are no longer at risk for getting COVID-19.
Isolation during coronavirus
Isolation means that you have confirmed or suspected COVID-19 and need to be extra careful to avoid spreading the virus to others. Isolation may occur at home or in the hospital. Caregivers should wear protective gear to lower risk of becoming infected. Learn more about what to do if you have symptoms and how to care for someone who is sick.

National Nuclear Lab's Employees Sent to Seminar That Claimed 'Rugged Individualism' and 'Hard Work' Are 'White Male Culture'
The seminar for Sandia Labs executives also involved writing apology letters to marginalized people.
by Robby Soave
The National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, D.C. found itself in a small scandal last month after visitors to its website discovered an infographic that listed "hard work" and "rational thought" as traits of white culture. The crude stereotypes drew well-deserved derision.
It's not just the museum. Last year, Sandia National Laboratories, a federal contractor responsible for building the U.S.'s nuclear weapons, sent its executives to mandatory diversity training with the White Men's Caucus on Eliminating Racism, Sexism, and Homophobia in Organizations. This group's educational materials—which were obtained by Christopher Rufo, a visiting fellow at the Heritage Foundation—include many of the same racial stereotypes. As Rufo writes, participants were told that the "roots of white male culture"

John Lawson and Ross Myers, co-founding donors of the Myers-Lawson School of Construction at Virginia Tech.
Jade McNair doesn't graduate until December 2017, but she's already entertaining job offers from employers eager to attract a Virginia Tech Myers-Lawson School of Construction graduate.
That's exactly what the school's founding donors and namesakes, A. Ross Myers and John R. Lawson II, envisioned when they helped start the school in 2006.
A decade later, their names are synonymous not only with two prominent construction companies, but also with the success of more than 600 Virginia Tech Myers-Lawson School of Construction graduates now leading the way in the construction industry.
Over the past decade, the school has increased enrollment 75 percent, tripled female graduation rates, and consistently boasted a 100 percent employment rate for students prior to graduation.
It has also forged strong industry ties, launching partnerships, internships, and career fairs that connect students with some of construction's biggest names. Through collaborations with W.M. Jordan and Hourigan Construction, for example, students have honed skills in virtual construction and 4-D building information modeling on real-world building projects.
The school's recent fall career fair attracted more than 100 companies from across the nation to meet and interview over 500 students.
The school arose from a 2006 joint venture between the Department of Building Construction in the College of Architecture and Urban Studies and the Vecellio Construction Engineering and Management Program in the College of Engineering's Charles E. Via, Jr. Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering.
Students benefit from integrated engineering and construction curriculum, faculty, research, and industry partnerships. They leave with a broad understanding of the business, technology, construction, and production management skills needed to lead and thrive on today's job sites. Before graduation, most students complete an average of three internships, many of which lead to jobs.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, construction industry jobs will grow 10 percent to 7.2 million jobs by 2024 — faster than the average for all occupations. The growth is fueled by a rising population, creating new demand for infrastructure that integrates emerging technologies into buildings, roads, and other human environments.
A fundraising campaign is underway to build an Intelligent Infrastructure and Construction Complex and also enable the expansion of Myers-Lawson, among other projects. A $5 million commitment from the Hitt Family has laid the foundation for the work to commence.

Basilicata: translation
/bah zee'lee kah"tah/, n.
Italian name of Lucania.
Autonomous region (pop., 2001 prelim.: 595,727), southern Italy.
Roughly divided into a western mountainous region and an eastern section of low hills and wide valleys, its capital is Potenza. Known in ancient times as Lucania, the area was under Lombard League rule in the early Middle Ages. Until the fall of the Swabian Hohenstaufens (1254), it played a significant part in the affairs of southern Italy; later it followed the variable fortunes of the Kingdom of Naples until united with the Kingdom of Italy in 1861. The region suffered severe damage in a disastrous earthquake in 1980. Agriculture is an economic mainstay.
▪ region, Italy
region, southern Italy, along the Golfo di Taranto (Gulf of Taranto), consisting of the provinces of Potenza and Matera. Bounded by the regions of Puglia (north and east), Calabria (south), and Campania (west), Basilicata is roughly divided into a western mountainous section, dominated by the Appennino Lucano, and an eastern section of low hills and wide valleys, while along the Ionian Sea the sand and clay hills overlook narrow coastal plains. The extinct volcano of Monte Vulture (4,350 ft [1,326 m]) stands isolated from the Apennines in the north.
Known in ancient times as Lucania (q.v.), the region was under Lombard rule in the early Middle Ages. It was controlled by the dukes of Benevento and then by the princes of Salerno. After an interval of Byzantine control, the Normans took over and made Melfi (q.v.) the capital of one of their dominions. Until the fall of the Swabian Hohenstaufens (1254), Basilicata played a significant part in the affairs of southern Italy; afterward, passing through Angevin and Spanish hands, it followed the variable fortunes of the Kingdom of Naples until united with Italy in 1860. The region was coextensive with Potenza province until the establishment of Matera province in 1927.
The mainstay of the economy is agriculture, but yields are generally low because of poor soil and the rugged terrain. Crops include wheat, rye, grapes, and olives; sheep, goats, pigs, and an increasing number of beef and dairy cattle are raised. New crops introduced in the eastern and coastal areas include tobacco, vegetables, sugar beets, and flowers. Industry is virtually nonexistent except for olive presses and flour mills, although natural gas has been discovered near Matera and there is a chemical plant at Pisticci. Potenza (q.v.), the regional capital, and Matera (q.v.) are the only sizable cities. The region suffered severe damage in a disastrous earthquake in 1980. The main railroad line of Basilicata links Potenza with Naples and Battipaglia in the northwest and with Taranto in the east, connecting also with the Ionian railroad (Taranto–Reggio di Calabria). Area 3,858 sq mi (9,992 sq km). Pop. (2006 est.) 594,086.

IF YOU HAVE ever wondered what the European Commission's understanding of the UK's negotiating position is it is best represented by the FT in the diagram below. For the UK to avoid all the "Xs" the only model acceptable is that of Canada or South Korea.
In Canada's case, the EU-Canada Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement, or CETA, which abolishes trade barriers, allows mutual recognition of many professions, and intellectual property rights and regulates certain investment disputes. Back in March the UK set out its requirements for several "options", concessions and exemptions, such as segmenting the single market, privileged access for the City of London and bespoke customs arrangements. The FT describes these as "have your cake and eat it demands" (surely, "eat your cake and have it"!). Time will tell – and there is not much time – as November is considered the latest date to conclude the negotiations if ratification is to be concluded by March 2019.
A "Canadian" trade deal, even "plus, plus" will restrict trade in goods and even more so for services. The effect of such restrictions will be much greater initially than later as adjustments are made and new trade patterns develop. The extent of the long-term damage to 2030 to the UK economy has been widely assessed with even wider conclusions; some "surprisingly" seem correlated with the political bias of the forecaster. Most estimates are of GDP in 2030 compared to an assumed "normal" growth in the UK economy of circa 2.3 per cent. The FT summarises 10 such "Estimates of economic impact of a FTA" (on GDP (sic!)) from which I exclude the pre-referendum Treasury's – 6.5 per cent forecast and both extreme forecasts, given by LSE/CEP and Economists for Free Trade. The seven remaining central forecasts shown an average loss of 2.75 per cent by 2030 or 0.20 per cent per year compound. Twelve years of 2.3 per cent growth would result in a UK GDP increase of 31.4 per cent but a 0.20 per cent reduction per year could reduce this to approximately 28.7 per cent.
NIESR, one of the seven forecasters cited, forecast a 2.50 per cent reduction in GNP by 2030, but also forecast that, as a result of lower population growth, the loss of GNP per head by 2030 would only be 0.8 per cent. The FT affirm that in the table referred to above all the figures shown in the chart relate to total GDP, as the subtitle indicates rather than GNP per person.
Cambridge Economics in a separate study "Preparing for Brexit" used a different "method" from NIESR, OECD, and HM Treasury to forecast the difference in GVA by 2030 from leaving the EU under different scenarios and their results were similar to those of NIESR, quoted above. An analysis of Cambridge Economics' report by Dr Graham Gudgin of Cambridge allows the per capita GVA figure to be derived from the gross GVA figure by combining the estimated percentage reduction in population growth to 2030 of 2.2 per cent with the percentage total GVA reduction in growth of 2.7 per cent, to give a reduction in GVA per head in 2030 of only 0.5 per cent. The same arbitrary adjustment to the OECD and HMT forecasts – which forecast the most unfavourable outcomes gives per capita reductions of 2.9 per cent and 4.0 per cent respectively, assuming a FTA.
How accurate and how relevant are the forecasts? They cannot all be accurate, as they are widely varied! Moreover, as shown above, earlier forecasters missed the Great Depression and the Great Recession. History is not kind to "establishment" forecasters who have tended to be profoundly wrong at such critical junctions, having made what Roger Bootle calls "serious errors of judgement" on the effect of policy changes for almost 100 years. In 1931 the Treasury, the Bank and almost all the established economic forecasters agreed that if the UK left the Gold Standard - if, in today's jargon, we "crashed out" we would fall over a "cliff edge". Per contra this policy change preceded a substantial period of economic growth as Keynes, a lonely exception, had forecast. A Government Minister, Sidney Webb, in echoes of today's debate, said "No one told us we could do that …!" Nearly 50 years later there was widespread opposition to the Thatcher reforms from the establishment and, particularly, the CBI. As with Keynes earlier, there was some support for the reform, but the majority opposition crystallised in the famous letter of criticism written by 364 economists to the Times. The Thatcher reforms transformed the UK economy from a laggard to a leader in relative economic performance.
The UK joined the ERM enthusiastically supported by the economic establishment, possibly as a Trojan Horse for the Euro: the Delores principle – make the institutional change and policy, permanence and practicality follow! This proved a disaster from which the UK was rescued when it was forced out of the ERM in September 1992. With the Trojan horse reduced to kindling the Treasury and the establishment revealed their true colours with a full cavalry charge for the Euro, strongly supported by the City. The euro has been a disaster as many of its promoters have gallantly admitted and, indeed, given the absence of political unity, rather than unifying the EU, it undermines it.
Prior to the EU referendum the "Remain" campaign was supported by most of the economic establishment, who, together with the Treasury, forecast an economic downturn unless Remain won. Indeed, the Treasury forecast a recession with GDP falling quickly by 3.6 per cent.
The HMG forecast uses a different modelling system from the one used by the Treasury pre-referendum, possibly because the Treasury one was so obviously wrong! The model 'GTAP' used by HMG has been used by other economic forecasters where the results show small - 0.8 per cent - long-term UK benefits from unilateral free trade and greater benefits from multilateral free trade arrangements. In spite of using the same model a key difference been the Treasury and other forecasters using the same Treasury model is the assumption of "friction" at the borders. The non Treasury view is that such friction is overstated as the World Bank showed that, between 15 developed countries in 2016, 98 per cent of the trade required no physical inspections and for the remaining 2 per cent the median clearing time was one day. In such instances there is virtually no "friction".
Given the complexity, the multiplicity and the inconsistency of all the forecast no defensible position can be taken on the precise effect of Brexit by 2030! Economic forecasting in the short-term is unreliable and over 12 years arguments over ± 0.25 percentage point differences in GNP seem surreal. However, it is self-evident that the adjustment in the economy from the present EU membership to any new trading relationship cannot be made without upset and destruction in some areas, in some industries and to some people. Almost without exception the long-term "costs" of leaving the EU are measured in real GNP, but the effect will be experienced largely in GNP per head, not total GNP and such a qualification would significantly reduce the forecast economic "cost".
In contrast to the wide range of forecasts for the consequences of leaving the EU, forecasts for the UK economy vary little. GDP growth was 1.7 per cent in 2017 and is expected to increase marginally to at least 1.8 per cent in 2018 by the Bank, Oxford Economics and NIESR but to be below that level by the IMF, OBR, and the EC, and the OECD forecasts only 1.2 per cent. In 2019 forecast growth is at or below 2018 forecasts with the OECD and the EC falling back to 1.1 per cent, but from 2020 growth forecasts are at or above current levels. These forecasts do not suggest that the economic consequences of leaving the EU will be significant.
Scotland's growth continues to lag UK growth and in 2016 was only 0.4 per cent but is expected to reach 0.8 per cent in 2017, just under half of the UK's 1.7 per cent. Over the next five years the EY ITEM Club expect Scottish growth to be 1.7 per cent, 0.3 percentage points below the 2.0 per cent forecast for the UK. Scotland is far from uniform, as the economic crisis in the north east exemplifies. However, as London and the South East is to the UK, so is Edinburgh to Scotland. The ONS Regional gross value added ("GVA") figures show that in 2016 (the latest available), whereas the UK had a growth in GVA per head of 2.8 per cent, and Scotland had a lower growth of 2.4 per cent per head, the City of Edinburgh had a GVA growth per head of 2.9 per cent. Edinburgh's total growth in GVA was 4.5 per cent, the fourth highest performing city in the UK after London, Cardiff and Greater Manchester. The growth total of GVA in Edinburgh was 1.53 times that of Scotland whereas the growth of GVA in London was 1.38 times that of the UK. In spite of an indifferent UK economic performance and of a poor Scottish one, Edinburgh's economy is booming.
The uncertainty posed by leaving the EU is at times confounded with an economic downturn but the evidence and the forecasts suggest that leaving the EU will at worst have only a marginal effect on the growth of GDP. Even with a lower growth environment some localities, including Edinburgh, will continue to enjoy average growth significantly above the UK average.

The first thing we can do to honor Jehovah God is to hear His word!
We know Him as the Creator.
We want to worship Him as our Creator.
It is automatic that we gather together to hear His message.
Therefore, we heed Jeremiah's call to hear the word of Yahweh God.
we worship in so doing them!
However, we do not believe it is one-sided.
we want to hear Him also.
if we will not listen to Him?
We do not want everything flowing from us to Him.
we want to hear what He wants.
By that we worship Him.
how we want Him to fulfill them.
Did you know that in the Bible He expresses His longing in regard to us?
Psalm 81 tells what our Creator wants from us.
What could He possibly want from us?
we certainly could not provide it.
Yet, still He longs for something from us.
the Lord wants us to listen to Him.
In verses 1–5, the psalmist Asaph called for celebrating the Lord.
the reasons for celebrating the Lord.
they walk in their own counsel.
they fall short of the glory of God.
we certainly want to hear from Him.
We want to know what He says to us.
to come together to listen to the reading and the exposition of His word.
10 Now the LORD came and stood and called as at other times, "Samuel! Samuel!" And Samuel answered, "Speak, for Your servant hears" (1Sa 3.10).
Is that not precisely what we should do in worship?
He is, after all, running the world.
In the worship assembly, we show Him that we want to hear His word.
Isaac would be the item offered up.
Abraham traveled with Isaac and their servants.
5 "Stay here with the donkey; the lad and I will go yonder and worship, and we will come back to you" (Gen 22.5).
11 But the Angel of the LORD called to him from heaven and said, "Abraham, Abraham!" So he said, "Here I am" (Gen 22.11).
Abraham present himself ready to hear or to do what the Lord said.
for whatever He wants them to do.
1 So Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came to Beersheba, and offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac. 2 Then God spoke to Israel in the visions of the night, and said, "Jacob, Jacob!" And he said, "Here I am" (Gen 46.1–2).
What do you think Jacob intended?
he was ready to hear and to do what the Lord said.
Why do you think God called to Jacob?
Why do you say someone's name?
My little grandson Adam likes to say people's names.
So they, or I, say, What?
He just grins and then tries to ignore us.
He is not playing games with us.
He expects us to hear.
Exodus 3 shows another man of God doing the same thing.
Moses had seen a bush on fire without the fire consuming the bush.
4 So when the LORD saw that he turned aside to look, God called to him from the midst of the bush and said, "Moses, Moses!" And he said, "Here I am" (Exo 3.4).
something to command him to do.
However, Moses did not want to do it.
He argued with the Lord until he angered the God of heaven.
Watch what happens in Joshua 5.
Joshua and Israel have crossed the Jordan River.
13 And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted his eyes and looked, and behold, a Man stood opposite him with His sword drawn in His hand. And Joshua went to Him and said to Him, "Are You for us or for our adversaries?" 14 So He said, "No, but as Commander of the army of the LORD I have now come." And Joshua fell on his face to the earth and worshiped, and said to Him, "What does my Lord say to His servant?" 15 Then the Commander of the LORD'S army said to Joshua, "Take your sandal off your foot, for the place where you stand is holy." And Joshua did so (Josh 5.13–15).
Joshua knew that a heavenly Man stood before, perhaps Jesus.
you stand upon holy ground.
Daniel 10 shows the prophet's reaction to seeing a heavenly being.
Daniel may also have seen Jesus.
19 And he said, "O man greatly beloved, fear not! Peace be to you; be strong, yes, be strong!" So when he spoke to me I was strengthened, and said, "Let my lord speak, for you have strengthened me" (Dan 10.19).
We have confessed that Jesus is Lord.
We worship Him today as Lord.
if we do not do what He has said to do?
Luke 6 shows that He has the same question.
Do we know what we mean when we call Him Lord?
is just too much for them.
To them, "going to church" is enough.
Think back on Psalm 81.
God has much to say to us.
it leads to eternal life later.
God the Father told us to hear His Son.
Are we listening to Him?

Redemption 10 Year Old Rye / Undercrown Maduro
ORIGIN: U.S.A
95% Rye, 5% Barley
116.2 Proof
SWEET REDEMPTION
Redemption Whiskey was originally launched by Bardstown Barrel Selections in 2010 with an explicit purpose: "To bring back rye whiskey to its rightful place." Industry veterans Dave Schmier and Michael Kanbar created the brand after serendipitously coming across a collection of choice rye whiskey barrels they felt were the ideal representation of the classic American spirit. Schmier explained where they were coming from in a company statement in 2010: "Michael and I both have a passion for Rye, as the inspiration for so many classic cocktails, it is natural that Rye is experiencing a resurgence in interest from the mixology community given today's cocktail culture. For us, the renewed popularity of rye represents a 'Redemption' of sorts, for this segment." Their initial release was a straight rye with a blend of six- to ten-year-old whiskeys sourced from the Midwest Grain Products distillery in Lawrenceburg, Indiana.
YOU DOWN WITH MGP?
Midwest Grain Products or MGP for short is the largest supplier of rye whiskey in the United States. In addition to rye, they are also a leading supplier of bourbons, gins, and vodkas. You may be thinking, "How come I've never heard of MGP if they're the largest supplier?" The overwhelming majority of the spirits they produce are sold to other distillers, bottlers, and wholesalers who either bottle the MGP product as is and sell it under their own brand or barrel age it to give the whiskey their own additional characteristics before bottling.
Regardless of how you feel about this practice, it is reality and it isn't new or exclusive to the spirits world. The only problems that arise are when companies market their product as something that it is not. If you take pleasure in this sort of legal wrangling look up the Templeton Rye class-action lawsuit. That isn't the case with Redemption who states plainly on their website that, "Redemption Whiskey is carefully hand-crafted in the river town of Lawrenceburg, Indiana at the 172-year-old MGP Distillery – Whisky Advocate's 2015 Distiller of the Year."
FROM WINE TO WHISKEY
In mid-2015, after five years of impressive growth, Deutsch Family Wine & Spirits acquired the Redemption Whiskey portfolio, including Redemption Straight Rye Whiskey, Redemption High Rye Bourbon, Redemption Bourbon, Riverboat Rye, White Whiskey and Limited Edition Barrel Selections. You know Deutsch mostly for their impressive stable of popular wines like Josh Cellars, Joseph Carr, Ramón Bilbao, Yellowtail, and Layer Cake among others.
Since the acquisition Deutsch released ten-year, barrel proof expressions of the Rye, High-Rye Bourbon, and a nine-year Bourbon with the help of master blender Dave Carpenter who Deutsch Family brought on board in 2018 after stints at Jim Beam and craft distiller Jeptha Creed. Carpenter's expertise in aging and batching the whiskeys is what sets Redemption apart from other bottlers and his work has not gone unnoticed. Redemption has hauled in an impressive amount of gold medals and high marks in spirit competitions and challenges. Most recently their barrel proof bourbon captured double-gold in the 2020 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
This ten-year-old, barrel proof rye whiskey opens with a rich, buttery nose that shows the extra time in the barrel has imparted tons of bourbon-like notes of caramel, butterscotch, and oak along with the minty rye spice and green apple in the background. The ten years in the barrel go a long way towards softening up the rye spiciness; there are times where it tastes closer to a high-rye bourbon than a straight rye. To me this characteristic makes it an ideal crossover whiskey for bourbon lovers to set off on their journey into rye. On the palate you get much more of the rye spice and heat but it's coated with green apple and even more caramel. Surprisingly you don't get a lot of oak flavors but you do feel the tannins from it.
Cigar Pairing: Undercrown Maduro
PAIRING NOTES
Finding the right pairing for the Redemption 10 Year Rye felt like trying to open a door with a stranger's set of keys. After falling on attempt after attempt I gave up trying to think about it and just lit cigar after cigar until I came to the Undercrown. The cigar on its own is loaded with dark chocolate, earth and ripe fruit sweetness but with the Redemption a surprising and absolutely delicious note of chocolate covers, buttery popcorn emerges on the finish. There's no other way I know to describe that flavor but it was unique and made me almost finish the bottle.

Elgin Courier-News |
Courier-New readers have very divided feelings on President Trump in their comments to Speak Out. (SAUL LOEB/AFP via Getty Images)
Kudos to Dixon: This is regarding the D.C. Cook building in Elgin. They want to demolish the building. Corey Dixon, one of the councilmen for the city of Elgin, couldn't have said it better. He said once it's gone, we can't get it back. I really like Corey's comments. He seems like a no-nonsense guy. He appreciates the city of Elgin's history. Kudos to you, Corey.
Farewell to a friend: An excellent surgical nurse and former manager of the Visiting Nurse Association Children's Immunization Clinic recently passed, Lorretta Wilk. Thank you, Lorretta, for all your work and for being a good friend and co-worker.
Trump's new nickname: Look out, President McNasty is going after anyone who testified against him. He is going after anybody that did not lie for him. President McNasty is a good name for him because he's a nasty man.
Self-serving Dems: I've been watching the Democratic debates on TV. I had to finally turn it off. I just can't believe all they want to do is condemn Donald Trump and talk about how bad the Republicans are and how Donald trump wanted to influence the election. They forget what the senators running for election were voting for. They were voting to impeach Donald Trump to take him off the ballot and ensure he couldn't run for another election. Let me ask you, how is that not influencing an election for your own purpose?
I feel sick: Every time I look at the president of the United States my stomach gets queasy. He is such a liar. He is such a crook and wants to be like a God. He's vengeful, as we can all see. I don't know how Christians can sit there and give him a pass. I don't know how those of you who call yourselves patriots can sit there and watch what the GOP is doing to our country in the name of this president.
[Most read] Coronavirus in Illinois updates: State confirms first case of more contagious COVID-19 variant as 6,642 new cases and 123 additional deaths reported Friday »
Great TV: Seeing President Trump's victory speech was the best entertainment on TV in years. He is the Democrat's worst nightmare and in their face. It is payback for the way they abused George W. Bush, who thought it was beneath the presidency to fight back.
Pandering Dems: Too bad the pandering Democrat Party of today were not the Democrats of 1860s. They may have joined the Republican Party in abolishing slavery and preventing the Civil War.

Robert Louis Stevenson Biography
by EILeditor · Published July 21, 2014 · Updated August 29, 2020
By Richard Dury, from the RLS Website
Life and Publications Summary
Robert Lewis (later: "Louis") Balfour Stevenson was born in Edinburgh on 13 November 1850. His father Thomas belonged to a family of engineers who had built many of the deep-sea lighthouses around the rocky coast of Scotland. His mother, Margaret Isabella Balfour, came from a family of lawyers and church ministers. In 1857 the family moved to 17 Heriot Row, a solid respectable house in Edinburgh's New Town.
Robert Lewis Stevenson, date unknown, Lloyd Osbourne
At the age of seventeen he enrolled at Edinburgh University to study engineering, with the aim – his father hoped – of following him in the family firm. However, he abandoned this course of studies and made the compromise of studying law. He "passed advocate" in 1875 but did not practice since by now he knew he wanted to be a writer. In the university's summer vacations he went to France to be in the company of other young artists, both writers and painters. His first published work was an essay called "Roads", and his first published volumes were works of travel writing.
Early Published Works
His first published volume, An Inland Voyage (1878), is an account of the journey he made by canoe from Antwerp to northern France, in which prominence is given to the author and his thoughts. A companion work, Travels with a Donkey in the Cevennes (1879), gives us more of his thoughts on life and human society and continues in consolidating the image of the debonair narrator that we also find in his essays and letters (which can be classed among his best works).
Meeting with Fanny, Journey to California, Marriage
The meeting with his future wife, Fanny, was to change the rest of his life. They met immediately after his "inland voyage", in September 1876 at Grez, a riverside village south-east of Paris; he was twenty-five, and she was thirty-six, an independent American "New Woman", separated from her husband and with two children. Two years later she returned to California and a year after that, in August 1879, RLS set out on the long journey to join her. This experience was to be the subject of his next large-scale work The Amateur Emigrant (written 1879-80, published in part in 1892 and in full in 1895), an account of this journey to California, which Noble (1985: 14) considers his finest work. In this work of perceptive reportage and open-minded and humane observation the voice is less buoyant and does not avoid observation of hardship and suffering. (The light-hearted paradoxes and confidential address to the reader of the essays written a few years before (1876-77) and then published as Virginibus Puerisque (1881) continue in the creation of that original debonair authorial persona.) After Fanny obtained a divorce, she and RLS were married in San Francisco in May 1880. Concluding this first period of writing based closely on his own direct experiences is The Silverado Squatters (1883), an account of their three week honeymoon at an abandoned silver mine in California.
Stevenson has an important place in the history of the short story in the British Isles: the form had been elaborated and developed in America, France and Russia from the mid-19th century, but it was Stevenson who initiated the British tradition. His first published fictional narrative was "A Lodging for the Night" (1877), a short story originally published in a magazine, like other early narrative works, such as "The Sire De Malétroit's Door" (1877), "Providence and the Guitar" (1878), and "The Pavilion on the Links" (1880, considered by Conan Doyle in 1890 as "the high-water mark of [Stevenson's] genius" and "the first short story in the world" (Menikoff 1990, p. 342). These four tales were collected in a volume entitled New Arabian Nights in 1882, preceded by the seven linked stories originally called "Latter-Day Arabian Nights" when published in a magazine in 1878. This collection is seen as the starting point for the history of the English short story by Barry Menikoff (1987, p. 126). The Arabian stories were described by critics of the time as "fantastic stories of adventure", "grotesque romances" "in which the analytic mind loses itself" (Maixner, pp. 117, 120), and are seen by Chesterton as "unequalled" and "the most unique of his works"(p. 169). They have an affinity with the Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde in their setting in the labyrinthine modern city, and the subject matter of crimes and guilty secrets involving respectable members of society. Stevenson continued to write short stories all his life, and notable titles include: "Thrawn Janet" (1881), "The Merry Men" (1882), "The Treasure of Franchard" (1883), "Markheim" (1885), which, being a narrative of the Double, has certain affinities with Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. "Olalla" (1885), which like Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde originated in a dream also deals with the possibility of degeneration. The above short narratives were all collected in The Merry Men and Other Tales and Fables in 1887.
"Olalla" was written in the period of just over two years (1885-87) when Stevenson and Fanny were living in Bournemouth. Despite problems of health and finances, this was a period of meetings with Henry James, W.E. Henley and other literary figures, and when he wrote the long short-story (published as a single volume), his "breakthrough book" Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde (1886).
Another collection Island Nights' Entertainments, tales with a South Sea setting, was published in 1893, including "The Bottle Imp" (1891), "The Beach of Falesà" (1892, a long short story of the same length as Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde), and "The Isle of Voices"(1893).
Treasure Island and "Children's Literature"
Another fortuitous turning-point in Stevenson's life had occurred when on holiday in Scotland in the summer of 1881. The cold rainy weather forced the family to amuse themselves indoors, and one day Stevenson and his twelve-year-old stepson, Lloyd (Fanny's son by her first marriage), drew, coloured and annotated the map of an imaginary "Treasure Island". The map stimulated Stevenson's imagination and, "On a chill September morning, by the cheek of a brisk fire" he began to write a story based on it as an entertainment for the rest of the family. Treasure Island (published in book form in 1883) marks the beginning of his popularity and his career as a profitable writer, it was his first volume-length fictional narrative, and the first of his writings "for children"(or rather, the first of writings manipulating the genres associated with children). Later works that fit into this category are A Child's Garden of Verses (1885), The Black Arrow (1883), Kidnapped (1886) and its continuation Catriona (1893). The four narrative works mentioned in this paragraph, though they all have youthful protagonists and were all first published in magazines for young people, are also clearly intended for adult readers. The last three, based on careful documentary research, are fictions exploring history and culture; and the last two are interesting studies of Scottish culture and could also be placed in the following section.
Novels and Romances
Prince Otto (1885), his second full-length narrative, is defined by as "a philosophical-humouristical-psychological fantasy" (Maixner, p. 181). The action is provocatively set in the imaginary state of Grünewald, an unusual choice for Stevenson, and it was to historical Scotland (which had already provided the setting for Kidnapped and Catriona) that he turned for his next full-length "adult" story, The Master of Ballantrae (1889). This is a Doubles narrative in which the brothers James and Henry have similarities with Jekyll and Hyde, not only in their initials, but also because of the mixed personality of the "good" character, the constant return of the persecuting Double, and the simultaneous death of the two antagonists. Both Calvino and Brecht consider it to be the best of Stevenson's works, and it is highly praised by writers as diverse as Henry James, Walter Benjamin and André Gide. The novel that he was working on when he died, Weir of Hermiston (published incomplete and posthumously in 1896), is also set in Scotland in the not-too-distant past and has also been often praised and seen as Stevenson's masterpiece. The centre of the story is the difficult relationship of an authoritarian father and a son who has to assert his own identity (a theme present in many of Stevenson's works – and we may remember that Hyde is presented in some ways as Jekyll's son – clearly a way for Stevenson to explore and come to terms with his difficult relationship with his own father).
In the South Seas
Weir of Hermiston, Stevenson's very Scottish romance, was written when Stevenson was far away on the other side of the world. His decision to sail around the Pacific in 1888, living on various islands for short periods, then setting off again (all the time collecting material for an anthropological and historical work on the South Seas which was never fully completed), was another turning point in his life. In 1889 he and his extended family arrived at the port of Apia in the Samoan islands and they decided to build a house and settle. This choice brought him health, distance from the distractions of literary circles, and went towards the creation of his mature literary persona: the traveller, the exile, very aware of the harsh sides of life but also celebrating the joy in his own skill as a weaver of words and teller of tales. It also acted as a new stimulus to his imagination. He wrote about the Pacific islands in several of his later works: Island Nights' Entertainments already referred to; In the South Seas (published 1896), essays that would have gone towards the large work on the area that he planned; and two other narratives with a South Sea setting: The Wrecker (1892), and The Ebb-Tide (1894). The former is a mystery adventure set in various places over the globe but centred in the South Seas (indeed at Midway Island, Latitude 0°) with some dark tones, especially in the fruitless search for treasure and the massacre of a ship's crew (for quite understandable reasons!). The Ebb-Tide (like "The Beach of Falesà") gives a realistic picture of the degenerate European traders and riffraff who inhabited the ports of the Pacific islands. These South Sea narratives mark a definite move towards a more harsh and grim realism (Stevenson himself acknowledges affinities of The Ebb-Tide with the work of Zola (Maixner, p. 452)).
The authorial persona had changed from the debonair flâneur of the early works, but retained a joy in his craft and a consciousness in the shaping of his own life. He died in December 1894 and even shaped the manner of his burial: as he had wished, he was buried at the top of Mount Vaea above his home on Samoa. Appropriately it was a part of his own short poem, "Requiem" (from an 1887 collection), that was written on his tomb: "Under the wide and starry sky, / Dig the grave and let me lie…"
Stevenson's establishes a personal relationship with the reader, and creates a sense of wonder through his brilliant style and his adoption and manipulation of a variety of genres. Writing when the period of the three-volume novel (dominant from about 1840 to 1880) was coming to an end, he seems to have written everything except a traditional Victorian novel: plays, poems, essays, literary criticism, literary theory, biography, travelogue, reportage, romances, boys' adventure stories, fantasies, fables, and short stories. Like the other writers who were asserting the serious artistic nature of the novel at this time he writes in a careful, almost poetic style – yet he provocatively combines this with an interest in popular genres. His popularity with critics continued to the First World War. He then had the misfortune to be followed by the Modernists who needed to cut themselves off from any tradition; Stevenson was felt to be one of the most constraining of immediately-preceding authors for his sheer ability, and one of the most insidious for his play with popular genres and for his preference for "romance" over the serious novel. Condemned by Virginia and especially Leonard Woolf (not unconnected, perhaps, with the fact that one of Stevenson's great supporters had been Virginia's father), ignored by F.R.Leavis, he was gradually excluded from the "canon" of regularly taught and written-about works of literature. The nadir comes in 1973 when Frank Kermode and John Hollander published their Oxford Anthology of English Literature. With over two thousand pages at their disposal in which to exemplify and comment on the notable poetry and prose produced in the British Isles from "1800 to the Present", not one page is devoted to Stevenson – in the whole closely-printed two thousand pages, Stevenson is not even mentioned once! Critical interest has been increasing slowly since then, in some countries more than others, though there have been few single-volume studies when compared with the large numbers of books published every year on his contemporaries James and Conrad. Stevenson, some might say, has been fortunate to escape such attention. Reading this Mozartian and mercurial writer remains for many as for Borges, despite critical neglect, quite simply "a form of happiness".

College Corner: Costes goes from Curley to Maryland and keeps improving, succeeding
By Harrison Swartz
Marty Costes never played travel ball or in showcase leagues.
He didn't face top baseball talent in his age group until he transferred to Archbishop Curley High School as a junior.
He was a multi-sport athlete for the Friars, but his baseball talent was considered raw. There weren't many schools pursuing him to play at the next level.
That didn't seem to matter to Costes. He just kept playing, and kept having success.
In the last two-plus years, Costes has committed to the University of Maryland, been named to the All-Big Ten Freshman Team, twice received All Star honors in the Cal Ripken Collegiate Baseball League and emerged as one of the most feared power hitters in the Big Ten.
Heading into this week, Costes was leading the Terps in batting average (.359), hits (52), triples (3), home runs (8) and RBIs (31).
Costes grew up in Baltimore City, and spent his first two years of high school at Baltimore Polytechnic Institute. He then transferred from Poly to Curley, and thrived in three sports: as a running back in football, a point guard in basketball and all over the baseball diamond.
"He was a stud," said Costes' high school baseball coach, Brooks Norris. "Physically, he was better than everyone else. He was a little raw, but physically better than everyone else in the league."
As a natural athlete, the 5-foot-9, 200-pound Costes had little trouble playing different positions for the Friars.
"He came in as a shortstop," said Norris. "Played third his junior year, then center as a senior."
Because Costes was somewhat new to the baseball scene, there was little buzz surrounding him early on at Curley. Eventually, a few local schools such as Towson University and Maryland started paying attention.
Norris said that Towson tried everything it could to get the right-handed-hitting Costes, but he remained patient and waited for the best option to surface. He didn't commit until the fall of his senior season, when Maryland made its push.
After he graduated, he played in the Ripken League for the Baltimore Redbirds, one of the top-ranked summer teams in the nation.
"It took a while to find out where I was playing that summer," says Costes. "I didn't even get to go to senior week."
While Costes' classmates were off celebrating graduation, he was beginning his collegiate baseball career with some of the top talent in the country.
It didn't take long for him to find his stroke against upper-echelon pitching. Two weeks into that summer, and he was hitting above .300.
"I didn't know it would be so quick," Norris said. "I thought it would be a challenge for him to adjust to the level of play."
Then it was off to Maryland – and more success.
Thriving as a Terp
As a freshman, Costes earned a starting spot in the outfield, won some awards and was a big part of a competitive Maryland squad.
"It was a very joyful time for me," Costes said. "I really wasn't too worried about the accolades. I was more focused on winning."
Costes hit .263 with 37 RBIs and a team-high nine homers in 2016. He was named to the conference's All-Freshman team, honored as a 2016 CBN/Louisville Slugger Freshman All-American and was a two-time Big Ten Freshman of the Week.
He's built on that impressive start.
This year, he's the starting right fielder on a Maryland squad that is 25-11 overall and second place in the conference with a 9-3 record. He entered this week with the third highest overall average among all Big Ten players. In his last conference game, Sunday against Penn State, Costes was 4-for-6 with two doubles, a triple and five RBIs.
Like when he was at Curley, Costes isn't too concerned about the future.
His focus right now is being part of a Big Ten champion at Maryland.
BaltimoreBaseball.com's Top Performers of the Week
Josh Hejka, RHP, Johns Hopkins University
Soph./Dearborn, Mich./Divine Child HS
Hejka has been solid for Johns Hopkins, and was rewarded by being named Centennial Conference Pitcher of the Week. The 5-foot-11, 150-pound reliever threw a career-high five innings against Salisbury University and picked up the win. Later in the week, he pitched three innings against Haverford College and earned his third save of the season. In total, he threw eight scoreless, struck out eight and walked none.
Jordan Patterson, INF/P, Hood College
Fr./Laurel, Md./Atholton HS
Patterson dazzled at the plate and on the mound for the Blazers this week. The 6-foot-1, 175-pound freshman had four hits, four RBIs and earned the save in the Blazers' 7-4 win at Messiah College. It was his second, four-hit game in a week and his third save of the season.
Brian Shaffer, RHP, University of Maryland
Jr./Pylesville, Md./North Harford HS
It's no surprise the Big Ten Conference announced Shaffer was its Pitcher of the Week on Monday. The 6-foot-5, 200-pound righty set a new career-high with 11 strikeouts over 8 1/3 innings against Penn State. He now has four wins and a 1.83 ERA. This is the second time this season he has earned the conference award.
Moments worth mentioning
There were a number of walkoff wins for local teams this week, but two did it in spectacular style. On Friday night in College Park, the University of Maryland hosted Pennsylvania State University. Down 1-0 entering the ninth, the Terps used back-to-back home runs from Zach Jancarski and Brandon Gum on consecutive pitches to win 2-1. … Johns Hopkins University beat Salisbury University on Monday on a Mike Smith home run in the 10th inning. It was Smith's second walkoff homer this year… McDaniel College is getting hot after a slow start in conference play. After beginning 0-6 in the Centennial Conference, the Green Terror have won three of their last five, including a sweep of Muhlenberg College on Saturday. … The U.S. Naval Academy has won 12 games in a row after a sweep of Lehigh University and a victory Wednesday over George Mason. It's Navy's longest win streak this season – the Midshipmen also had an 11-game winning streak earlier this year. They are now 30-12 and 10-2 in conference action. … In its 8-4 win Wednesday against George Washington University, Towson University scored at least one run in six of its eight innings.
Matchup to watch
The Capital Athletic Conference baseball tournament began this week. Top-seeded Salisbury University is hosting the tournament that runs through Saturday. The Gulls are looking for their second straight conference championship and their 14th overall. If they win, they'll earn their 23rd appearance in a NCAA Regional.
