Religion: Sharon Brous, Elliot Dorff, Richard Joel, Sharon Kleinbaum, Yehuda Krinsky, Irwin Kula, Dina Najman-Licht, Zalman Teitelbaum
By Forward Staff November 11, 2006
Sharon Brous
In the burgeoning world of unconventional young congregations, Sharon Brous, 32, has taken on an unusual role, doubling as a youthful firecracker, storming the barricades, and a grand dame, dispensing wisdom. Brous began her own Los Angeles religious community, IKAR, only three years ago, but it has swiftly become one of the largest of its kind, drawing more people on Friday nights than almost any traditional synagogue in the city. The lure is Brous's ability to make Judaism accessible — with an emphasis on social activism — while keeping the work tied to serious Jewish text and ritual. No Kabbalah Centre here. As IKAR has boomed, Brous has become a model and a mentor for many other religious innovators. She took on several leadership positions in the newly formed Synagogue 3000 network, which serves as a gathering point for new Jewish communities around the country. Brous was trained at the Conservative Jewish Theological Seminary, but her unwillingness to follow institutional models is one of the things keeping her fresh and popular.
**Elliot Dorff **
If, as expected, the top lawmaking body of Conservative Judaism opens the door next month to the ordination of gay rabbis and the sanctification of same-sex unions, the theological architect of the shift will be Rabbi Elliot Dorff, 63. Dorff is vice chair of the legal panel, the Committee on Jewish Law and Standards, and rector of the University of Judaism, which houses the Conservative movement's Left Coast rabbinical school. He's also one of the movement's leading bio-ethicists and is emerging as one of the most unifying and listened-to theological voices in a movement that's spent a generation searching for its theological center. He authored the liberal opinion that the Law Committee is expected to endorse next month, but his approach — sanctioning gay relationships while upholding the biblical ban on homosexual intercourse — upsets traditionalists who oppose any liberalization, as well as liberals who reject any restrictions. The key question is how congregants will respond: Will they see Dorff's opinion as an inspired balance of tradition and modernity, or tune it out as the latest dodge by an out-of-touch, has-been movement?
**Richard Joel **
Yeshiva University President Richard Joel, 61, always has been a man with grand visions. Now, thanks to a recent $100 million gift from fertilizer magnate Ronald Stanton, he might be able to afford them. Y.U., a full-scale university with an affiliated rabbinical seminary, is already the flagship institution of Modern Orthodoxy; but Joel, a lawyer by training and ex-president of Hillel, is aiming to raise the university's overall academic profile and expand its Jewish reach. He's already launched the Center for the Jewish Future, a think tank-cum-leadership training center that some observers see as a challenge to the influence of right-wing rabbis at Y.U.'s rabbinical seminary. He has vowed to expand the university's 3,000-student undergraduate population by 1,000 and reportedly hired nearly three-dozen tenure-track professors last year. The terms of Stanton's gift give Joel great flexibility in spending, letting him push ahead with new initiatives. Critics whisper that Joel is a cheerleader and salesman who lacks the intellectual vigor to take Y.U. to a higher level. With his ambitious plans and new $100 million in hand, he's well positioned to prove them wrong.
**Sharon Kleinbaum **
As senior rabbi of New York's Congregation Beth Simchat Torah, Sharon Kleinbaum is no stranger to crowds. Since she joined the synagogue in 1992, it has become the world's largest for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender Jews. Yom Kippur services this year drew some 3,400 worshippers, and so they had to be held at Manhattan's Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, a venue better known for trade shows than for worship services. This past August, as co-chair of Jerusalem WorldPride, a weeklong international festival, Kleinbaum, 47, moved to an even bigger stage. Bringing the festival to fruition was no mean feat. In a rare show of unity, anti-gay Jewish and Muslim religious leaders came together to condemn it. The festival was scheduled for last year, but the Gaza withdrawal led to a postponement. This year the festival arrived as the Lebanon war raged; a parade was canceled, but the WorldPride program went on — evidence of the grit and stick-to-it spirit that have made Kleinbaum a leader.
Yehuda Krinsky
When 3,000 rabbis and leaders of Lubavitch Hasidism in 72 countries gather this month at New Jersey's Garden State Exhibit Center, their presence will serve as stark testimony to the explosive growth of this once-marginal sect. A dozen years after the death of its charismatic leader, Menachem Mendel Schneerson, Chabad-Lubavitch Hasidism still has no new rebbe to guide it — and yet the movement continues to expand worldwide, the most dynamic, fastest-growing wing of Judaism. Chabad synagogues dot the landscape from South Florida to Southern California. Chabad-Lubavitch dominates Jewish life in most of the former Soviet Union, to the frustration of other, less energetic denominations. In countless far-flung corners from Bangkok to Shanghai, if there's a local Jewish communal presence to welcome the traveler or to shelter the troubled, it's likely to be Chabad. Running it all from Chabad headquarters in Brooklyn is Rabbi Yehuda Krinsky, 73, executor of Schneerson's estate and now chairman of the board of the three main Lubavitch organizations. Born in Boston and educated at the prestigious Boston Latin School, he moved to Brooklyn in 1946 to pursue religious studies and by 1957 emerged as Schneerson's chief aide and go-to man. More CEO than guru, he runs the empire with a quiet but firm hand. Chabad's thousands of emissaries are left largely free to chart their paths in the field, but everyone knows who the boss is.
Irwin Kula
For those members of the Jewish community who have cringed for years at the sight of Dr. Laura and Madonna as public ambassadors of Jewish wisdom, help is on the way in the recent efforts of Rabbi Irwin Kula. Ordained a Conservative rabbi at the Jewish Theological Seminary, Kula, 48, served for a time as a pulpit rabbi in Queens and the Midwest before moving to CLAL — the National Jewish Center for Learning and Leadership, a New York-based think tank. He spent his first decade there on projects to lower barriers between Jewish denominations and increase sensitivity to Jewish teachings in the operations of Jewish organizations. Since taking over the presidency of CLAL, he has shifted his attention toward bringing Judaism into the American public square. He's starred in two documentary films, had his own series on public television and appeared on "Oprah," spreading the message that Jewish tradition can speak to everyone. He authored a Yom Kippur op-ed last month for USA Today, and with the release of his new book, "Yearnings: Embracing the Sacred Messiness of Life," he is becoming a regular on the "Today" show. At a time when religion is too often associated with absolutism and extremism, Kula combines ancient Jewish teachings and contemporary insights to articulate a practical, spiritual path that embraces uncertainty, complexity and tolerance. Most remarkable, Americans are buying it.
Dina Najman-Licht
Liberal Orthodoxy moved into uncharted territory in September when New York's Congregation Kehilat Orach Eliezer installed as its spiritual leader Dina Najman-Licht, the first woman known to hold that post in an Orthodox congregation anywhere. The congregation did not go so far as to call Najman-Licht its rabbi, a job formerly held by Columbia University Talmud professor David Weiss Halivni; instead, her title is to be rosh kehillah, or community head. Nonetheless, the boldness of the step was undeniable. Najman-Licht, a 38-year-old expert on Jewish bioethics, will deliver sermons, teach classes and fulfill other typically rabbinic functions. Najman-Licht is a product of several relatively new academies — including New York's Drisha Institute and Nishmat in Jerusalem — that are specifically designed to train women in rabbinic law, part of a recent wave of incremental advances for women in Modern Orthodoxy. But KOE's leaders say that their decision to hire Najman-Licht was not a matter of looking to make waves. According to KOE co-president Robert Sacks, there were a number of male candidates for the job. Najman-Licht was simply the best qualified.
Zalman Teitelbaum
Succession is rarely an orderly affair in the passionate, unruly world of the Satmar Hasidim. The founding Satmar rebbe, Joel Teitelbaum, died childless in 1979 and left his title and court to his nephew Moshe. Joel's widow never accepted the succession, and years of feuding ensued. That was nothing, however, compared to the battle that erupted last spring with Moshe's death. Early odds favored Aaron, 58, the eldest of Moshe's four sons, who has headed Satmar's main satellite community in the upstate New York village of Kiryas Joel since 1984 and was widely seen as rebbe-in-waiting. But younger brother Zalman, 54, Moshe's third son, gained the inside track in 1999 when his father put him in charge of the main Satmar congregation in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn, the capital of worldwide Satmar. Moshe's death in April touched off months of angry maneuvering, from name-calling to lawsuits to synagogue brawls. A state court ruling in July, however, confirmed Zalman's control of the main Satmar holdings in Brooklyn, leaving him effectively in charge of what's considered the largest and one of the most influential sects in the Hasidic world.
Eric Yoffie
When the Rev. Jerry Falwell decided last spring that it was time to extend a hand of fundamentalist Christian friendship to the Jewish community, it was Rabbi Eric Yoffie, president of the very liberal Union for Reform Judaism, whom he invited to come and address the students at his very conservative Liberty University. Yoffie came in April, spoke warmly of shared values of family and morality, then launched into a spirited defense of church-state separation and gay marriage, winning some boos from the students. It was vintage Yoffie: polite, yet uncompromising — and perpetually in motion. Two months later he was in Jerusalem, attending the World Zionist Congress and demonstratively refusing to attend a delegates' reception at the home of Israeli President Moshe Katsav, who had told an interviewer he never addresses Reform clergy as "rabbi." October found him in Kansas City, urging Reform congregants to take on greater ritual observance — the same theme with which he had begun the Jewish year last fall, in his address to the movement's biennial convention in Houston. The two themes — political liberalism and religious traditionalism — have been Yoffie's calling cards since he became the leader of Reform Judaism 10 years ago. They're a big part of the reason that Yoffie, 59, remains the unchallenged head of American Judaism's largest denomination. The other reason was on display in February, when he toured the hurricane-shattered New Orleans area to assess the needs of the local synagogues, discuss their plans for renewal — and to pray with them.

Aussie auto sales top one million in 2021
Sales of new cars and trucks in Australia have topped one million with demand jumping by more than 14 per cent last year.
Revealing its sales for 2021, the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries said 1,049,831 vehicles were sold last year – a 14.5 per cent improvement on the previous year.
The jump came despite ongoing supply and other issues associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, the shortage of microprocessors, and shipping delays.
"Despite the pandemic restricting access to showrooms in 2021, Australian consumers found ways to purchase new vehicles and did so in solid numbers," FCAI chief executive Tony Weber said.
"The global shortage of microprocessors, compounded by the pandemic, had an impact on the number of cars sold throughout Australia.
"Automotive manufacturers are continuing to work to strengthen supply chains in 2022."
Toyota was again the market-leading brand last year with 223,642 sales, ahead of Mazda on 101,119 and Hyundai on 72,872.
It was the 19th year in a row the Japanese brand had taken the title.
Toyota also had four of the top five selling vehicles with its HiLux range leading the way, ahead of the Ford Ranger, the Toyota Rav4, the Toyota Corolla and the Toyota Landcruiser.

Better Call Saul Season 4? Showrunner/Cast Finale Cliffhanger Interviews
June 20, 2017 by RenewCancelTV Leave a Comment
***BETTER CALL SAUL SEASON 3 FINALE SPOILER ALERT***
DEADLINE: So, Peter, we saw fire through the window in the house but we never saw a boy. Is Chuck McGill really dead?
GOULD: We haven't opened the writer's script for Season 4 yet, so it's very hard to be definitive. It sure looks that way and I think there would be something a little ingenuous if we have this big build-up and it being a season ender and then we found out that he got out at the last second. Having said that…
McKEAN: Yeah. And he's now being played by Patrick Duffy (both laugh).
DEADLINE: Working on the premise that you wouldn't play the audience like that, and the fact he never showed up in Breaking Bad, if Chuck is dead, how did you find out it was over, Michael?
McKEAN: Not until Peter and Vince called me a few months ago and I was out tooling around in Albuquerque, and the phone rings. "Hi, guys, shall I pull over?" Because I had a feeling, I knew this was coming and…

Speaking of Kim, it's easy to lose sight of her role in the whole Jimmy McGill mess amid a season obsessed with brotherly betrayal. In an interview with Aaron Pruner, Seehorn sums up her character's trajectory over the past three seasons: "When this series starts, it's apparent that she is a workaholic and sort of, morally, has attached herself to this idea: If you just keep your head down and work hard enough and stay on the right side of the law, then you're a good person. That got kind of smashed to smithereens in Season 2 and now Season 3 is the consequences of that — of realizing good and bad are not the same as legal and illegal."

What was behind opting to save Jimmy's reaction for [Season 4]?
Peter Gould [showrunner]: Jimmy has made a turn. He's made a couple of very extreme turns over the last few episodes. You know, in episode nine ["Fall"] — the wonderful episode that Gordon Smith wrote and Minkie Spiro directed — Jimmy got as dark as we've ever seen him. Actually, in my book, the things he does in episode nine are even worse than the things that Saul Goodman does on "Breaking Bad," because he is purposefully trying to ruin the life of an innocent. [Kim's accident] is a wake up call for him, and he tries to make another turn. But the question is — once he's thrown the restraint of his conscience, can he really go back? It's always the question once you've done something terrible. We all want to think that we can change our ways at any moment, but is that really true?
And of course Chuck — in that scene between Chuck and Jimmy — Chuck seems to make a prediction about Jimmy. It's almost like he's laying some kind of curse on Jimmy when he says, "You're going to hurt people, that's what you do." But on the other hand, we know he's not wrong. So I think there's a lot of complexity there.
One of the things I really enjoyed about episode 10 is just how raw Jimmy is, and how sincerely hurt Bob is. It's interesting: He's been kind of emotionally distant from things, he's been able to detach himself from the consequences of things. In this episode he seems as hurt as he could possibly be. And of course we know from the end of the episode, things are going to get worse before they get better.

Better Call Saul Season 4 renewal is expected to be confirmed in the coming days, but with AMC yet to announce the show's fate, there's room for worry. Could the renew/cancel scales tip against the Breaking Bad prequel or will the series move closer to 'ending on its own terms' in Season 4 or 5? Stay tuned…

"And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind that ye may prove what is good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." (Romans 12:2).
Transform: A person or thing that transforms. To be transformed is to change from or outward appearance. To change the condition, nature or function of, convert, to change the personality or character.
How can God's people resist the pressures that can "squeeze" them into conformity with the world? According to Romans 12:2 "Conformers" are people whose lives are controlled by pressure from without. But "TRANSFORMERS" are people whose lives are controlled by the power from within. Instead of being changed, the TRANSFORMERS do the changing!
The Holy Bible is designed not only to inform our judgments, but to reform our hearts and lives. The apostle Paul absolutely calls for a radical change. We must not be conformed to the world, but transformed from it. We are not to try to match our life to all the moral lies and standards of this world. We are not called by God to be like a Chameleon, which takes its color from its surroundings. Christians should be so different that we stand out! We cause people to take pause! Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego stood out in Babylon because they refused to be conformed to the Babylonians customs, which made men look at God! Their stand up behavior and loyalty to the kingdom of God, pointed King Nebuchadnezzar to the sovereignty of God.
"But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with portions of the king's meat, nor with the wine which he drank: Therefore he requested the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself." (Daniel 1:8).
To worship and serve God, we must undertake a change, not of our outward form, but of our inward personality. People produce outwardly what is in their heart. If sin abides in a person's heart. The outward display will be adored with sinfulness…period! It's not a disease, it's not a malfunction on God's behalf, IT IS SIN ABIDING WITHIN! WE WERE ALL BORN IN SIN AND SHAPEN IN INIQUITY! With that being said, what is that change that must happen inwardly? We must be dominated by the Holy Spirit. How do we receive the Holy Spirit? We received the Holy Spirit by accepting and believing in the Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God!
When the essential man has been changed through faith in Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit, now he lives, not a self-centered life, but a Christ centered life. In Christ is where the renewing of the believer's mind takes transformation. Where there is also a new character and nature. Here is where we understand that people do not have to act out a sinful life. Because in Christ we can be transformed into the likeness of Christ. It's true because I know that I am not what I use to be. I have become a new creature through the power of the Holy Spirit! People who live lawless and immorally do so because they CHOOSE to do so! Here is the answer right before the sinner and yet they will SWEAR there is no solution to their condition! Conversion and sanctification are the renewing of the mind, a change not of the substance, but of the quality of the soul.
This is called transforming us; it is like putting on a new shape and figure, "Metamorphous." The transfiguration of Christ is expressed these words: "And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light." (Matthew 17:2).
If sinners entice us, we must not consent to them, but in our places witness against them. We must not conform to the customs and ways of the world. The world must not be our chief rule as it dictates sinful living. We can be civil and not rude in our stance, but be determined to take the narrow pathway to eternal life and not the broadway to destruction! Civil things are intended to govern the unruly and the spiritual things, such as the gospel are to rule our soul!
What is the great effect of this renewing which we must labor after? "That you may prove what is good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God." By this we are TRANSFORMING the world as Jesus did. Jesus was a TRANSFORMER. He did not follow the world, he denied the world his heart and his attention. He followed his Father's plan to plant the Kingdom of God in the hearts and minds of men. To redeem his children by sparking man's heart with the truth, that God is the Creator and sovereign Lord of all.
THE TRANSFORMER – Jesus Christ was the greatest TRANSFORMER of all times. He never yield to temptation, he never sinned, and his message of God's love and power still rings true today and forever! Be a TRANSFORMER FOR JESUS. Live the life of righteousness that we may transform the world by how we live. For the record, this message is for the saved and the sinner! God bless you and amen!

Rani, Priety on Koel's favourite list
Koel Purie wants to essay a wide range of roles and looks up to Rani Mukerji and Preity Zinta for inspiration.
"There is no dearth of talent in Bollywood. The talent is just endless I feel. Rani Mukerji and Preity Zinta are two of my personal favourites amongst the contemporary actors.
"Even Sridevi and Saif Ali Khan are fantastic actors. Saif is just too amazing as an actor. He constantly chooses different characters to play. There are thousands of talented directors also."
Talking about her roles she said: "I will never repeat myself. I want to be versatile and do things that I've never done before. I want to do a period film, and an out and out romantic flick too. I'd also love to play a mother."
She has just finished shooting for an international British film "Losing Jemma", then there's a Canadian film, "Look Alike" and another with Raman Kumar.


The District Collector's office informed TNM that they have forwarded the memorandum to the CEO for their response.
Taking the Chowkidar trend into the real world from the virtual, a BJP politician in Telangana has asked that he be allowed to put his own locks on the door of the strongrooms, where EVMs are stored. D Arvind, BJP's MP candidate from Nizamabad, has written a letter to the Nizamabad Returning Officer on Monday, asking him to grant permission to secure the strongrooms in the constituency.
In the letter, Arvind wrote, "Allow me to put my lock also to the strongroom in which EVMs and VVPATs used during General Elections to the House of People (Lok Sabha)-2019 are stored." Arvind had contested against Kalvakuntla Kavitha, sitting MP who is also the daughter of Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao.
The District Collector's office told TNM that they have forwarded the memorandum to the state Chief Electoral Officer for their response.
The letter comes in the wake of the arrest of a TRS polling agent on Saturday, who entered the strongroom in Bogaram village without the knowledge of the authorities and also clicked a picture of himself, which later went viral.
After Congress leaders cried foul over the laxity of the authorities, Secunderabad Cantonment Board CEO SVR Chandra Sekhar, Assistant Returning Officer of Malkajgiri constituency, filed a complaint with the police which led to his arrest.
Nizamabad saw an interesting election as 185 candidates were in the fray, forcing the EC to deploy over 20,000 EVMs in the constituency to conduct the elections. Each polling station had 12 EVMs, as 174 agitating farmers of the region contested the elections to highlight their plight of not having a national turmeric board, a poll promise made by Kavitha during her 2014 campaign which remained unfulfilled.

.Com Versus New Gtld Domain Names: 8 Months Later
Eric McGehearty
Back in September 2014, we released the results of a search engine marketing study that we did to find out which are better for online marketing: a .COM domain name or a New gTLD domain name. The results revealed a lot of interesting data, which really caused us to want to look into the use of keyword rich New gTLD domain names for landing pages, micro-sites, and for fully developed websites. Those results from our Google AdWords testing, which we disclosed in our last white paper, showed us that:
A .COM outperformed a .Diamonds domain name in certain key areas. However, in other key areas, the .Diamonds domain name performed much better.
It cost less per click for a .Diamonds domain than to run the same keywords on a .COM domain name, and the total campaign cost was lower.
Google AdWords appeared to favor use of the .Diamonds domain name, giving it more impressions and even better positioning. The average position for the .Diamonds domain name was better then the .COM domain name.
Based on the Effective CPM, it cost nearly twice as much to advertise a .COM domain name than it did a .DIAMONDS domain name.
We compiled all of the data, even the keywords, bid prices, CTR, number of clicks, and even the number of conversions we got into an extensive 27 page white paper, which you can download here on this page. But we weren't done. Several months later, we wanted to know if anything had changed after about 7 months. So, during January 2015, we run the tests all over again.
What Changed After 8 Months?
We ran the previous Google AdWords campaigns again, using the same keywords, the same ad copy, the same domain names, and even the same landing pages. Again, the only difference between the campaigns was the domain name. We focused our testing efforts this time on refreshing the previous test, which was www.3CaratDiamonds.com versus www.3Carat.Diamonds. And boy did we get some interesting data this time. Here's a quick outline of what we learned from our updated testing:
The first testing was done in May 2014. The 2nd testing was done in January 2015.
January 2015 Results:
Average CPC
3Carat.Diamonds: $.69 (vs. $.77 in May 2014)
3CaratDiamonds.com: $.82 (vs. $.81 in May 2014)
31.76% Conversion Rate on .COM, 29.11% on .Diamonds
Previously: 52% Conversion Rate on .COM, 36% on .Diamonds
New gTLD converting just as well now as the .COM
Effective CPM: Still costs 2x as much to advertise a .COM
What we learned from running our testing again is that the price to run ads using Google AdWords on a .diamonds domain name went down. It got cheaper. But to run ads on the .COM domain name, the price virtually stayed the same (within one cent per click). But what's even more significant is the fact that the conversion rate on the .COM domain name got worse–it went down. And now, the conversion rate of the .COM is very close to what the conversion rate on the .diamonds is–there's only a 2 percent difference between the two. Back in May 2014 the .COM converted a lot better. But that's not the case anymore. The New gTLD domain name is converting the same as a comparable .COM domain name.
We analyzed what has happened to the conversions between the first testing we did in May 2014 and the second round of testing we did in January 2015. The graphic below shows the changes:
As you can see, we are seeing a significant change to the .COM domain, as the downloads of the PDF file and the total conversions are way down for the .COM domain, and the .Diamonds domain's downloads of the PDF file are actually UP since the last time we run these tests. The total conversions of the .Diamonds domain was down, but not as much as the .COM domain name. We're definitely seeing changes here.
Conclusion: .COM Versus New gTLD Domain Names
So, which would you rather use for a Google AdWords campaign? A .COM domain name that costs more, or use a New gTLD domain name that costs less to use, and converts just as well as a .COM domain name?
Don't just take our word for it. We've updated all of the test results, and, like in our previous white paper, we want to be totally transparent: we've published all of the results and included the data we gathered from the updated Google AdWords campaign in a new, updated white paper.
Now Is The Time Time To Get Creative!
As we face a new reality of battling the coronavirus (COVID-19), your way of life and your way of doing business has likely changed com


1. Super Secret, FUN Project!!!
Happy Tuesday! I hope you have all had a great week! Our kids are on Spring Break, and it has been incredibly quiet at our house while they're out enjoying life!
I planned on writing an individual post about this project, but now that it is public knowledge, it's easier to just talk about it. <3 I have made some incredible friends and acquaintances through the online sewing community, including Christine who runs To Do Tuesday. One of those friends is Amanda, who owns Mily Mae Fabrics, which opened 1-year-ago this month (Happy Anniversary, Mily Mae). Amanda's birthday is also in March, and she is currently expecting her fourth child. Mily Mae Fabrics is doing great, but the downside is Amanda doesn't have time to sew much anymore.
Enter Amanda's best friend, partner in crime, and cutting buddy, Katie, and an amazing group of women from all over the nation who are part of the Mily Mae community. Katie formed a secret group on Facebook, we all talked, coordinated, and got busy. Each of us sewed at least one item of maternity clothing for Amanda, and we had a Facebook Live reveal of all her goodies last Friday morning. It was such a fun project to participate in! I am not sure of the final count of items she received, but it was a lot! I know there were still items trickling in after the live reveal.
Maternity sewing was an enigma to me prior to this project, and it was so much fun learning how! I managed to get two shirts cut and mailed to Katie for Amanda's surprise party. I still have one top cut out and a pair of pants that I didn't get sewn together prior to the deadline, and I can't wait to get them finished and mailed off to her! Patterns for Pirates came to my rescue with the Layer Me Up Shirt with the Maternity Add-On to make these two shirts. The one on the left is made out of fabric from Mily Mae, and the one on the right is an Art Gallery knit from my stash.
The Made for Mermaids pattern test I was working on was the brand new Mama Adeline. I tested it in both my size and Reagan's size (who is very happy to be out of the girls sizing). The pattern, along with the girls, baby, and dolly versions, released today, and they are an instant hit! I do have a blog post in the works for Adeline, but for now here are a couple quick pictures. For Reagan, I made the half sleeve, scoop back, half-circle skirt maxi dress. It is by far my favorite item of clothing I've made for her. My version is the half sleeve, full circle skirt, scoop front, keyhole back, dress length. These Made for Mermaids and Patterns for Pirates ladies are slowly converting me to be a dress-wearer! I love it!
The DIBY Club Denim Collection has been released, and I wrote a blog post about all four patterns: DIBY Club Denim.
This week, I added another dress pattern test, and I am working on making a vest out of some quilted knit from Mily Mae Fabrics. Finally, I am trying to add some of my old Work-In-Progress items a couple at a time to get my backlog cleaned out.
Oh my goodness, the maternity surprise party is genius! What a special gift! I am in love with Reagan's dress; that is spectacular and she looks fantastic! Wow! Love your dress too, it's so fun and flirty looking! I will definitely have to check out the jeans post!
Wasn't it just the sweetest idea? Amanda does so much for so many, that it just felt great to give back.


These are postwar flashlights that are very similar to the wartime army flashlight. For some reason the factory color for these is a weird green, probably a Grenzschutz color. Most have light wear and may have some light rust. The color of the leather tabs varies. These take the standard flat German 4.5v batteries. Price is for one.


What is chutney? If the name reminds you of the chunky brown stuff you eat with cheese and biscuits, you need to think further afield. Almost 5,000 miles further afield to be precise: the Indian culinary tradition of delicious chatni or chutney features a colourful, piquant and delicious condiment to suit every meal.
The first chutneys you are likely to encounter in a fine Indian restaurant will be pickles to accompany your pappadums. A sweet mango chutney, made from simmering the pulp and juice of fresh succulent mangoes with ginger, cumin seeds, mustard seeds, a pinch of raw sugar cane and a hint of chilli.
You may also eat a powerful lime pickle with your crispy pappadums. This is made from chopped up limes marinated with turmeric, fenugreek, ginger, garlic, sugar and chillies. A spicy tempering oil made from sizzling mustard seeds, curry leaves, fenugreek seeds and dried red chillies is poured over the limes, then jars are filled with the aromatic mixture and left to steep for at least three weeks. The result is a zingy, zesty treat.
Chutneys do not have to be thick and served from jars. Many Indian snacks such as samosas and pakoras benefit from a cooling mint chutney to balance their spicy heat. One of the simplest and most appealing is mint chutney. Mint, coriander and green chillies are blended with lemon juice, ginger and a little salt and sugar. The runny chutney is served in a bowl ready for dipping all kinds of delicious snacks.
In South India many dishes are served with a creamy coconut chutney. This gooey white chutney is also an essential part of South Indian specialities such as dosas and idli. Again, it is simple but radically appetising: fresh coconut flesh is blended with roasted lentils or chickpeas, a few spoonfuls of yogurt, a little green chilli and some fresh ginger root. A temper of mustard seed, red chillies and curry leaves roasted in oil is added to develop the flavour. The result is an indulgent and fragrant delight.
Tamarind and date chutney is one of those flavours you have once and never forget. The sweetness of the dates and the sourness of the tamarind combines beautifully. Tamarind pods and shiny dates are simmered in water with a little jaggery, a treacly Indian sugar source. Roasted cumin powder, coriander, ginger and red chilli is added in small amounts to add extra zing. The thick, rich brown chutney is then cooled and strained.
The beauty of chutney is that it can be made from almost anything. Take onion and tomato chutney, for example. Tangy tomatoes and juicy onions are simmered until they break down into a thick paste with a little chilli powder. Roasted mustard seeds, lentils and curry leaves are added to the mix, which is then left to cool.
Some chutneys have a real kick. Lasunki chutney is made by blending 30 garlic cloves with a very generous amount of ground red chillies, coriander powder and cumin seeds. The thick fibrous paste is ridiculously moreish, if you can handle the spice!

The frenzy over the phenomenally popular video game "Fortnite" may be easing, according to revenue estimates released Thursday by market tracker SuperData.
The free online game's revenue grew just 2 percent in July from the previous month -- despite creator Epic Games releasing a new season of its "battle pass" offering digital perks and added challenges.
However, some game industry insiders contend that the game's typically school-age fans may just be on summer vacations -- and could come back in force once lessons get back underway.
"Fortnite" became an eSports phenomena after last year's release of a free "Battle Royale" mode that lets up to 100 players vie to be the last character standing on ever-shrinking terrain.
"Fortnite" -- the star of Los Angeles' Electronic Entertainment Expo video game extravaganza in Los Angeles in June -- still remained the top money maker on consoles in July, according to SuperData.
However, the game faces increasing competition as game makers add battle royale modes to popular titles and promote eSports leagues to win over players.
Metrics from Amazon-owned game play streaming service Twitch on Thursday showed that "Dota 2" was the most popular title with viewers so far in August, relegating "Fortnite" to second place.
Players worldwide spent $8.2 billion on digital games in July, in a 3 percent increase from the same month late year, SuperData said.

These ham and cheese stuffed Hasselback potatoes are the perfect easy, homemade meal idea!
Full of flavor, these crispy, homemade Hasselback potatoes are sliced, loaded with ham and cheese, and oven baked to perfection.
A little garlic, butter, and spices help create the best tasty and easy meal that your family will enjoy time and again.
This Hasselback potato recipe looks so fancy, too. It's a great option to serve to guests as well.
Let's dive in and chat about this simple, wholesome, from scratch recipe a little more!
Life is busy these days. There is always lots of work happening with two little kids in school and one big kid in college.
Add in household chores, extracurriculars and meal prep, and the days are always jam-packed.
Even when we're extra busy, I still want to make delicious, homemade meals from scratch for my gang. It's important to serve them the best!
We love spending time in the kitchen together — and of course, eating what we've prepared.
I'm making this happen by picking up high-quality products (like Hillshire Farm® Premium Carved Slow Roasted Seasoned Ham) while doing my grocery shopping at Walmart.
I'm able to order everything we need easily by shopping online and select a pick-up time. I get a confirmation of my order and another confirmation when my order is ready for pickup. I can check in online and then drive into the lot and park. My items are then brought out by a helpful attendant, who loads them into the car for me.
It's brilliant and perfect for those busy days that you don't want to head into the store.
This week, one of the items I popped into my digital cart was Hillshire Farm Premium Carved Slow Roasted Seasoned Ham.
I had this amazing ham and cheddar Hasselback potato recipe I'm sharing with you today in mind and I couldn't wait to try it.
Hillshire Farm Premium Carved Slow Roasted Seasoned Ham is the perfect choice for any recipe. It's so full of flavor! It's perfect for snacking on, enjoying in a sandwich, or using in a recipe.
It's located in the packaged lunch meat section in the perimeter coolers. It's a premium carved cut of high-quality meat. It's all natural, contains no artificial ingredients, has no added nitrates or nitrites, and also contains no artificial preservatives.
It tastes like what you'd pick up freshly carved from the deli counter, but without the deli counter hassle, which is great for my busy mama life.
I say it all the time and it's so true; great quality ingredients mean great tasting recipes!
The ideas are endless with help from the Hillshire Farm Brand! Salads, protein or grain bowls with rice and quinoa, sandwiches, wraps, or a meat and cheese appetizer are all made so easy.
Since my family loves good potato recipes, I knew this Hasselback recipe was a meal I wanted to try for us.
What is a Hasselback Potato?
They're a type of baked potato, where the potatoes are about cut halfway through, into thin slices. Toppings such as butter, breadcrumbs, and almonds are added on top of the potatoes.
They're loaded with flavor and I love how easy they are to customize for your family.
What Are the Best Potatoes for Hasselback Potatoes?
I prefer to use russet potatoes, but there are several options. You could also use Yukon golds, red potatoes or new potatoes.
The biggest trick to making this recipe successful, is making sure to make uniform slices in your potatoes. Otherwise, you risk breaking off part of the potato and it won't turn out quite so perfect.
The best method I've found is to place the potato between a pair of chopsticks before slicing. This helps make sure all your slices are the same depth and help keep your potato intact!
Thoroughly wash and dry potatoes. Cut off ends, approximately 1 inch.
Microwave on high for 15-20 minutes. My potatoes were in the fridge, so I had to microwave them 20 minutes. If you're starting with room temp potatoes, you may only need 15 minutes.
Cut the slices of cheese into quarters and then cut the pieces of Hillshire Farm Premium Carved Slow Roasted Seasoned Ham down to be approximately the same size.
Make the sauce by whisking together all of the sauce ingredients.
When the potatoes are fork tender, remove them from the microwave and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
In between each slice of potato, place a piece of cheese and then a piece of Hillshire Farm Premium Carved Slow Roasted Seasoned Ham on the next one. If you want to get crazy you can put a piece of ham AND cheese in between each slice!
Brush the potatoes with the sauce.
Bake at 450 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes. Remove, and garnish with chopped chives.
They'll be the perfect amount of crispy and cheesy and delicious. So good!
The cheddar along with the ham is an unforgettable, classic flavor that you'll crave. I love how this recipe turned out.
A sprinkle of chopped chives is a big hit for our family.
I know some folks love to serve with fresh salsa or sour cream as well. You could also add a little more cheese or even some ranch dressing.
Be sure to grab your Hillshire Farm Premium Carved Slow Roasted Seasoned Ham and other ingredients from Walmart and get to cooking.
I'm confident your whole family will love these amazing Hasselback potatoes — they're the best!
Microwave on high for 15-20 minutes. My potatoes were in the fridge so I had to microwave them 20 minutes. If you're starting with room temp potatoes you may only need 15 minutes.
Bake at 450* for 10 minutes. Remove and garnish with chopped chives.
Such an easy, delicious meal!


Santurtzi stands on the coast of north-western Bizkaia, on the El Abra bay in the district of Greater Bilbao, at the foot of the majestic Mount Serantes ( 446 mts).
It is best known for its port – which is one of the main ports in the European Atlantic Sea – and for its grilled sardines, about which popular songs have even been written. Couplets have been dedicated to their people and customs, "Desde Santurce a Bilbao" for instance. Vestiges of its past are still alive in a place where the past and present meet together through the scent of the saltpetre and roasted sardines.
"Desde a Santurce a Bilbao" ("From Santurce to Bilbao") famous couplet acquires a new meaning these days being Santurce now the one welcoming people from all places. A town nurtured by the sea; a full live dedicated to the brine with plenty of traces everywhere. Sardiners, ships, boats and whales, nothing is left in this sea postcard.
Santurtzi or Santurce (in Spanish) has a strong relationship to the sea/with the sea; the fishing port is its soul. Saltpetre scent joins the smell of sardines roasted in the coals of the restaurant of the Fishermen´s Guild (Cofradía de Pescadores). Inside the Fishermen´s guild you will find ancient sardiner´s setting for selling sardines, the fish auction. This practice is still alive nowadays in several ports where the fish of the day is sold by auction.
Sardine sellers are one of the flagships of this town; these women brought their basket on their head, barefoot and the skirt rolled up they came to the auction. "Desde Santurce a Bilbao" traditional song is based on these women's´ day-to-day basis. Moreover, the sculptor from Bilbao J. Lucarini created the monument to the sardine, a copper sculpture that we can see in this town since 1964.
Hundreds of coloured boats await for a new fishing day laying on the calm waters of the port. Until the beginning of the 20th century, the trainera (small boat) was the essential tool for inshore fishing but lately ships powered by steam or explosion engines displaced them. Agurtza is a vivid example of these ships, our heritage´s treasure. Bonito, sardines, txitxarros and anchovies have known its wooden entrails; now is the time for you to discover the world of our arrantzales (fishermen in basque) by entering into this ship.
Face to the sea you will also find the monument to the Virgin of El Carmen. This is the patron saint of Santurtzi since 1907 and its festivity is the great event of the year. A pleasant festive atmosphere fills the streets with hundreds of events organised for young and old alike. These popular festivities begin with the free tasting of various tonnes of grilled sardines in the Sardine day, green light for 10 days of celebration.
The Sea Procession is the big moment in Santurtzi. It starts at 6 p.m. every 16th July when the arrantzales of the village take on their shoulders the image of the Virgin from the church of Saint George. With the figure on their back, they headed to the sea where placed on a vessel it is taken onto Abra Bay´s waters. There, all fishermen lost at the sea are honoured with a floral offering.
For nature and sea animal's lovers there is the chance to enjoy one of the most unforgettable experiences ever: whale spotting. A unique experience in life that you can live in your visit to Santurtzi.
Santurtzi fishing port and Bizkaia Bridge (World Heritage by UNESCO since 2006) are linked by a 20-minute seafront promenade called Reina Victoria. This pleasant walk provides a great panoramic view of the Abra Bay. Once you held to Bizkaia Bridge, cross to the other margin to Las Arenas, a town with a special charm.
On the other hand, there is an open-air museum all through Santurtzi´s streets. Sculptures Museum is formed by 15 pieces spread over a nice walkabout. There are 14 official ports in the St. James Way by the sea, and Santurtzi is one of them.
You can sail along the pilgrim´s route docking at any port you want. At the Tourist Information office, you will get your pilgrim credentials and plenty of useful information for your trip.
If you love hiking, you cannot leave Santurtzi without climbing to mount Serantes. The views from the top are special, with the sublime panoramic of the Abra Bay. You have many different routes starting over from Santurtzi centre.
Santurtzi is only 15 kilometres far from Bilbao. The municipality is very accessible by public transport: you can get there by metro underground, train or bus. In addition, if you are planning to get there by car, you will be interested in knowing that there is a car park near the port.
From Bilbao, you have to take line C-1 with departure from Abando station from 05:00 to 23:15. It also has a frequency of 5-10 minutes. The journey takes 22 minutes.
The village has its own metro station, Santurtzi, close to the fishing port. From Bilbao, take line 2 (L2 Basauri-Kabiezes) in the direction of Kabiezes. On the other hand, if you feel like walking, we recommend that you get off at Peñota station in Portugalete (next to the Bizkaia Bridge) and enjoy a pleasant 20-minute walk to Santurtzi.
A-3151 Bilbao-Santurtzi. It is the most direct option, by motorway. With departures from Gran Vía, the journey from Bilbao to Santurtzi takes place on weekdays and on Saturdays from 07:05 to 22:05, every half hour. On the other hand, the opposite route, from Santurtzi to Bilbao, the bus leaves from the Central Park on working days and on Saturdays from 06:25 to 22:25, also with a frequency of half an hour. A-3115 Bilbao- Santurtzi, with stops. From Bilbao, departures are from Abando station from 06:00 to 00:15. From Santurtzi, departures are from 05:40 until one in the morning.
Driving from Bilbao you will arrive in just 20 minutes. The fastest route is through the A-8 motorway from Gran Vía. Continue along the A-8 towards Avenida Antonio Alzaga along the BI-3791. Take exit 126B from the A-8. Continue along Avenida Antonio Alzaga and continue after the Kabiezes roundabout along Calle Joxe Migel de Barandiaran. Continue to the right until Avenida Murrieta and turn left towards Parque Santurtzi. At this point, turn right onto Avenida Reina Victoria, you will find the Puerto Pesquero on your left.
Santurtzi is an ideal place to taste the delicacies that the Cantabrian Sea provides. In the village, you will find a rich and varied gastronomic offer. It is worth tasting seasonal fish in the grill.
Sardines are Santurtzi´s best ambassador. In order to taste them in their maximum splendour, we recommend that you eat them in their fishing season, between May and October.
There are not a large number of places where to stay if you want to spend the night in Santurtzi. Another option is to look for lodging in nearby municipalities such as Portugalete or Las Arenas where you also have at your disposal different options to rest such as hotels or hostels for all kind of pockets.
The Agurtza tuna boat has become the Fishing Interpretation Centre. It is one of the last traditional wooden fishing boats on our coast and here we can learn about the life of the fishermen, the history of the port of Santurtzi and the art of fishing.
Saturday: 11:00, 12:30 y 05:30 p.m.
From Monday to Sunday: 11:00, 12:30 y 05:30 p.m.
There is the possibility of arranging visits for groups outside the scheduled timetable.
Guided tours for groups available during all the year.
0-18 years > 65 years, students and registered in Santurtzi free.
In Santurtzi Tourism website, you will find all the information about these activities and many more.

Phish Announces 'Dinner And A Rematch' NYE: 12/31/95 & Audience Chess Grudge Match [Watch]
admin | Saturday, December 26th, 2020
Screengrab via Phish 'Dinner and a Rematch' announcement video
The Phish New Year's Eve Dinner and a Movie announcement we've been waiting for has arrived, as the band has announced a full-show stream of their first Madison Square Garden New Year's Eve show, 12/31/95, on its 25th anniversary, December 31st, 2020. Along with the stream—dubbed Dinner and a Rematch—the band will finally settle the score on the long-tied band vs. audience chess competition from the late-1995 tour. Tune in and follow along with our full Dinner and a Rematch Stream Companion here.
As Phish explains in the Dinner and a Rematch announcement,
We've teamed up with the fine folks at Chess.com to host the Band vs. Audience online chess game which will start right at the top of the show and move at a decent clip. In short, fans will have 5 minutes to move their piece (the band will have no more than that as well). At the end of 5 minutes, whichever move has the most votes is the 'audience' move. Stick around during the set breaks as the band joins in from their various homes, playing a few moves and providing scintillating commentary on the game.
To join the audience in voting for moves against the band, you will first need to become a member of Chess.com. It is free and you can click here to go directly to the registration page. After you verify your account by email, click here to join the official club for the audience side. We will post and send out the actual game link on 12/31.
The band unveiled the plans for this audience chess grudge match with an amusing, ESPN Classic-style documentary about the epic chess contest 25 long years ago, charting the highs and lows of a rivalry which has remained at a 1-1 stalemate ever since. With Queen's Gambit currently stealing headlines left and right and this milestone anniversary of the storied Phish vs. Audience chess saga approaching, the stakes have never been higher.
Watch the Phish Dinner and a Rematch New Year's Eve announcement video below:
Phish – "Dinner and a Rematch" – New Year's Eve 2020 Announcement
Despite the rematch aspect, this 29th installment of Dinner and a Movie still comes with the customary recipes. As the band notes, "Our friend Marissa Mullen put together two options — 'Olive Cheese Dreams' and 'Billy Bries' — with an easy 'cheese by numbers' guide. Feel free to swap out any of the ingredients if there's something else you prefer. Pair with the bubbly of your choice. For dessert, chessboard cookies! Recipes can be found here.
For this final webcast of the year, Phish's beneficiary will be none other than The WaterWheel Foundation itself. Since 1997, the band and their fans have collaborated on a nationwide charitable endeavor by raising funds and donating the proceeds across the country. This year alone, the Phish fanbase raised nearly $750,000 for 27 different nonprofits during the Dinner And A Movie series. Donate to The WaterWheel Foundation here.

The chess-themed New Year's Eve announcement follows Thursday's surprise release of a new Page McConnell and Trey Anastasio duo album, December. Listen to December here.


Chris passed away unexpectedly and peacefully in his sleep at his home on the morning of Tuesday, February 21, 2012 of a possible heart condition.
He was a talented, adventurous and curious musician and composer whose talent was buttressed by generosity, compassion, empathy, gentleness and modesty. Chris was unwaveringly dedicated to his family and friends. An old soul with an acerbic wit and a twinkle in his eye, his talents also included drawing, writing, photography and entertaining his friends with such antics as his innovative and accurate Bill Cosby impression. Born and raised in Calgary, Chris was close to immediate and extended family. He showed an early interest in music and performance. His career began as a member of the Yalenka Ukrainian dance company at the age of three and Youth Dance Unlimited at the age of ten. Chris started playing guitar at the age of eight and drums at the age of twelve; he played in concert and jazz bands in junior high and high school, and also began working musically with other like-minded friends in junior high. This early 'jamming' led to the formation of a number of bands. Chris' love of music was all-encompassing and his musical ear was a genetic gift from his father and from uncles on both sides of his mother's family, as well as something that he honed himself. His creative outlets included designing and building affects pedals, recording and producing other groups and creating his own music. In addition to guitar and drums, he also played cello, bass and piano. He was a member of the bands Veritas, Beneath These Idle Tides, Azeda Booth, Women and Gold. He also played with San Francisco's The Dodos. Chris also developed a body of compositions of ambient music; friends hope to produce and release this music in the coming months.
Touring and performing took him across Canada, the United States, and many countries in Europe playing in venues including the Prima Vera Festival, SXSW Festival, Sled Island Festival, the CMJ Music Marathon and, in November 2011, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, in which he appeared with Neko Case and The Dodos. Chris' defining personal characteristic was his gentle and giving nature which is most strikingly evidenced by his choice to care for his grandmother Anne Cherwoniak's physical and emotional health during the two years leading up to her death from ALS. He would lift her spirits, move and feed her, and was present at her last moments. In the past year and a half, Chris received much love and support from his girlfriend Rena Kozak.

I can see that Chris touched many lives, he was very talented and loved by all. Deepest sympathy.
There are no words that can express how deeply sorry I am for you guys…it's just too difficult to comprehend what you are going through…but please know that my heart breaks for all of you.
I am so sorry for your loss. I never met your son but feel such a sadness for you. Now being a parent I understand how deep a love for a child runs.
We are so sorry for your loss. Please accept our deepest sympathy.
We wish to send our sincerest condolences to the sudden loss of Chris.
We wish to be with you and comfort you all. We will be praying for you all.

Q: Multiplication tables for H*(G/P)? Hi everyone.  My recent work has me developing software to compute in $H^\ast(G/P)$, where $G$ is a complex connected semisimple algebraic group and $P$  is a standard parabolic subgroup (usually, $B$ or a maximal $P$).  While my programs are built on sound theory, one can never be too sure.  It's always good practice to check your work.
I'm looking for references of multiplication tables of these cohomology rings.
In particular, I'm interested in cases where $G$ is NOT simply-laced (that is, Lie type $B_n$, $C_n$, $F_4$, $G_2$), though simply-laced tables would be nice too.  Any tables would depend on a choice of additive basis for $H^\ast(G/P)$.  I typically use cohomology classes either Hom-dual or Poincare dual to the usual Schubert varieties living in $G/P$, and I like to parameterize my Schubert varieties with $W^P$, the minimal length coset representatives of $W/W_P$ where $W$ is the Weyl group and $W_P$ is the Weyl group of the Levi associated to $P$.  Tables using this convention would be great.  Of course, tables in any basis would be fine. :D
Thanks so much.

A: Some people have written code to do this, but not necessarily the most efficient possible way.  Alex Yong wrote one that works for general type, and it's linked in the references for the paper by H. Thomas and A. Yong, "A combinatorial rule for (co)minuscule Schubert calculus" (in Adv. Math., or on the arXiv).  As for published tables, for small rank some are given in Griffeth-Ram, "Affine Hecke algebras and the Schubert calculus".  (I also wrote down the table for $G_2$ in my thesis.)  There are probably many other sources, these are just the ones that come to mind.

A: You may consult with Duan Haibao's papers on arxiv.
Also, I have a Maple realization of my own, available at
http://www.staff.uni-mainz.de/semenov/software.html
Unfortunately, there is no documentation, and the coding style is ugly, but examples may help.

Gideon Joubert: Guns cache in Luthuli House – mystery lingers over ANC firearms
24th February 2019 7th July 2017 by Editor
JOHANNESBURG — Gun ownership is coming under the spotlight in South Africa again after an interesting court ruling this week. Pretoria's Gauteng High Court this week declared two sections of the Firearms Control Act unconstitutional: aspects that deal with procedures when surrendering a firearm amid its licence having already lapsed. The court lashed out at the ANC-led government on its "chaotic and dysfunctional" system of licensing guns. The court further slammed a lack of clarity on the matter. The ruling comes as government, over the years, has become stricter on gun control. But as Gideon Joubert points out in this piece: Is the ANC even living up to its own created laws and regulation? He talks about an alleged guns cache at Luthuli House – weapons that may have had their licences lapsed years ago already. It's an interesting take on this latest debate around gun control. – Gareth van Zyl
By Gideon Joubert*
The ANC is armed.
I am not, contrary to popular belief, alluding to undeclared arms caches from the Struggle Era or equivalent sources of guns and ammunition. Quite the opposite, in fact.
Gideon Joubert
The African National Congress owns weapons legally licensed to itself. These licences were granted to the ANC before 1994 as a concession by the then National Party government. This was done in order to ease the ANC's fears that the government possessed the monopoly on the use of firearms, and that the ANC would not be capable of defending itself from political violence perpetrated upon it.
The firearms are stored in Luthuli House, and the party can sign them out to any ANC member as deemed necessary via an internal paperwork process.
As far as I am aware, the ANC is the only political party in South Africa to find itself in the privileged position to own licensed weapons.
There are a number of serious questions that must be asked regarding this issue. Firstly, since these weapons were licensed under the old Arms and Ammunition Act 75 of 1969, did the ANC bother to apply for new licences governed by the FCA of 2000 in 2004? Secondly, if the answer to the previous question is affirmative, have any of these licences subsequently been renewed? Thirdly, how many firearms and of what type do the ANC currently possess? Lastly, what is the current status of these firearms with regards to keeping track of them and who has possession of them?
We know that the ANC made use of these weapons during the Shell House massacre in 1994 when the party's security opened fire on IFP marchers, killing 19 and wounding scores of others. The former minister for safety and security, Sydney Mufamadi, clarified the status of the weapons when he "told Parliament that the last batch of weapons from Shell House had been handed to the police that month. It nevertheless remained unclear whether relevant weapons were still outstanding-for in December when 1996 Mr Mufamadi allegedly told the newspaper Rapport that 99 firearms had yet to be delivered to the police." This is the last that was heard regarding the matter, and it is concerning that no further information has been forthcoming.
The fact that the Apartheid government armed the ANC before the 1994 general election may be upsetting to revisionists, but the irony of the matter cuts even deeper than just that. The ANC felt the need to arm itself for protection, yet as soon as it gained power it continued the trend of the National Party government in pursuing gun control against the population. South Africans were saddled with the Firearms Control Act of 2000 in order to pursue an agenda of civilian disarmament, and even now government officials continue talk of tightening restrictions.
It is clear that the ANC are absolutely okay with owning the monopoly on the use of guns, like the National Party government before it, and that it may use these guns to protect itself from harm, but ordinary citizens are prevented from having the same privileges thanks to unworkable firearm legislation and the costs associated with it. Yesterday's court victory for South African gun owners by having section of the FCA declared unconstitutional proves what a travesty the law is, and that is but merely a solitary example.
It appears that the old adage that gun control is not about guns, but only about control rings truer than ever.
As cliché as it is to quote Eric Blair when speaking about the ANC, there are few sayings more apt under the circumstances: all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.
Truly Orwellian.

The Music of Valencia in eastern Spain is rich and diverse, due to different external influences. It can be broadly divided into two categories: traditional and contemporary music.

Traditional Music
All the surrounding country is known for its own variety of Jota and a rich dolçaina (shawm) tradition. Brass bands are found in almost every village in the region. The Muixeranga, a street festival, is an important tradition that originated in Valencia.

Religious and work songs are common in Valencia, many are performed with accompaniment. El Misteri d'Elx is an old, religious musical play that dates back to mediaeval times. Havaneres are popular all along the Valencian coast.

Valencian dances include:
Brlea
Fandango of Albaida
El Ball del Danzants
El Ball dels Oficis
Los Alcides
Els Bastonets
Els Porrots
Paloteo of Requena
Valencian Jota

Contemporary Music
In the nineteen eighties Bakula was the dominant dance music form that appeared in the club scene of the city and the surrounding community. While pop and rock are forms enjoyed and played by local musicians there is a strong tendency toward's electronica in the region. In the nineties Techno music continued to be a string favourite in the area with the heavier shrantz influence from northern Europe emerging in the early two thousands. Today minimal techno is popular and more recently the Trip-Tek style as a young knights living  to outfits such as Electrika-MixTek.

Valencian/Catalan Rock and Ska music is also common all throughout the autonomous community of Valencia.

If this is your first time going camping with your furry friend, we've prepared a few tips for an enjoyable vacation at Camping Village Šimuni alongside your furry friend!
Dogs are more than pets, they are a part of the family, so at Camping Village Šimuni, all pets are allowed to stay in mobile homes and bungalows alongside their owners.
Not only are they welcome in the Camp, but dogs have beach areas dedicated for their seaside enjoyment. White Seagull beach and Two Sailors beach have special spots for dogs and pets. Two Sailors beach is located on the eastern end of camp Šimuni, and White Seagull beach is right at the Camp's Punta.
Because safety comes first, dogs in the Camp should always be on a leash. This prevents your dog from wandering off and getting lost. We also shouldn't forget about all the other guests in the Camp, who maybe have a fear of dogs or are not comfortable around them.
If you're traveling from abroad, make sure your dog has all the necessary papers, most importantly, a valid passport.
After a day at the beach, it's time for a bath! Your can wash your pooch in sanitary facilities 1 and 2 where we have a block dedicated exclusively for pet washing.
Everybody likes a clean Camp, so as we ask you not to litter, we will ask you to always pick up your dog's droppings. If you run out of bags for collecting droppings, our info desk has plenty of supplies for your dog's potty breaks.
Water is important at any season, but even more so during summer heats. Make sure your dog has plenty of water. If you forgot your pet's water bowl, don't worry. You can buy one at the Camp's info desk.
Before going camping, visit your veterinarian and talk to him about your camping trip so he can make sure your dog is properly vaccinated for Šimuni. It's also mandatory for your dog to be chipped, in case your pet wanders of.
Think of all the activities you will be doing with your dog at Camping Village Šimuni and collect items for a first aid kit accordingly. Most common injuries are to dogs' foot pads. If you're going hiking, prevent injuries to your dog's foot with pad protectors or pack bandages. Even if your dog has a flea or tick repellent collar, he just might end up with a bloodsucker, so make sure you include tweezers in your kit.
