Hanukkah Dreidel Secrets
Oct 29, 2002 | by Rabbi Shimon Apisdorf
What the Hanukkah dreidel was 'back then' and how we can learn from it today.
In Judaism, even something as simple as "spin-the-top is really not as simple as it appears.
During the time of the Maccabees, Jews were imprisoned for the "crime" of studying Torah. While in jail, these Jews would gather together to play dreidel. Under the guise of idling away their time, they'd engage in Torah discussions and thus defy the enemies of Judaism.
Every dreidel has four sides with one Hebrew letter on each side. Each of these letters begins a word. The four letters are:
• Nun – the first letter of the word nes, which means "miracle"
• Gimmel – the first letter of gadol, which means "great"
• Hey – the first letter of haya, which means "was" and
• Shin – the first letter of sham, which means "there"
When taken together, these letters proclaim "A great miracle happened there."
Until today, the "game of dreidel" reminds us of our eternal defiance of anyone who tries to stand between a Jew and the Torah.
Spinning Through History
Someone once said: Life is like a top. You spin around a lot, and then you fall over."
To some, life is a game, a joke, an arbitrary abyss. Not to the Jewish people. We've been "spinning" through history for 3,000 years. To some, history may seem like an arbitrary string of events whose frequent tragedies seem to proclaim life's futility. But the message of the dreidel is just the opposite.
In mystical Kabbalah teachings, there is another dimension to the dreidel. The four letters represent four different historical empires – Babylonian, Persian, Greek and Roman – that tried to destroy the Jewish people. (Today we are victims of the Romans who destroyed the Second Temple and sent us into the current exile.)
Are we just spinning haphazardly from one tragedy to another, or is there some rhyme and reason to all that has happened in our history?
It is at times of tragedy that the dreidel presents its message: If we believe there is ultimate meaning to the Jewish people, if we know that despite the dizzying blur of events in our history there is some purpose to it all, and if we are prepared to fight to remain Jews regardless of what history throws at us, then who knows – we might just see a miracle and be reassured that there is a hidden hand guiding the destiny of the Jewish people.
Modern Miracle
In 1947, for the first time since the Maccabees defeated the Greeks, the Jewish people were on the verge of reclaiming sovereignty in their homeland. Around the world, many were skeptical if the birth of this new state would happen at all. Others were convinced that if it was born, it would soon go down in defeat to the vastly larger and far better equipped Arab armies.
For political reasons the Jews of Palestine had built up an image of strength. So persuasive was their propaganda, even the Arabs had been fooled. But reality was pathetically different:
The fledgling Jewish army had weapons for less than a quarter of its men. Its total arsenal consisted of a few thousand rifles, less than a thousand machine guns, and sufficient ammunition for only three days fighting. The Jews had no heavy armaments of any kind – no heavy machine guns, no artillery, no anti-tank or anti-aircraft guns, no real armored cars. And nothing whatsoever in the way of an Air Force or Navy. Nothing.
Then, on December 5, 1947, things got worse. The United States government announced a total embargo on arms sales to the Middle East. By that time, the Arabs had already purchased tens of millions of dollars worth of U.S. arms surplus. And the Jews were left with their paltry supplies.
But you know the rest of the story.
"In Israel, in order to be a realist, you have to believe in miracles."
– David Ben Gurion, First Prime Minister of Israel
How to Play the Dreidel Game
On Chanukah, everyone loves spinning the dreidel. We have contests to see who can spin it the longest. Or who can get the most dreidels spinning simultaneously.
And of course, there's the famous dreidel game played for Chanukah "gelt:"
• Nun – no one wins
• Gimmel – spinner takes the pot
• Hey – spinner get half the pot
• Shin – spinner matches the pot

The Secret of the Dreidel: A Snapshot of Jewish History
Hanukkah and the Secret to Jewish Survival
(12) Burton Dale, December 1, 2010 7:11 PM
There is yet another secret of the dreidel. The four corners of the dreidel in spinning form a circle in a relationship to a square that has puzzled man since the time of the Greeks. The answer did not come until a clever Jewish fellow named Einstein added a most critical element. You cannot have space without motion and showed the world that space is curved. All eternity, called time, is derived from that simple relationship. G-d knows, and it is so simple man still has problems understanding the concept.

The Schoharie News, an online digital newspaper covering Schoharie County, is becoming a weekly print newspaper.
Left: Tim Knight. Photo by Erika Day.
Tim Knight, the paper's 21-year-old owner, founded the Schoharie News as a digital-only online news outlet in June 2013. The site made a name for itself with Knight's careful reporting about the minutiae of county politics and his sharp-tongued, often fiery editorials about local government.
Knight, who is graduating from SUNY Cobleskill with a degree in communications this spring, briefly sold the paper to another owner, Robert Panico, before buying it back last month. Now Knight plans to take the publication in a whole new direction.
In May, the Schoharie News will begin printing a weekly tabloid edition on newsprint and distributing it to locations around the Schoharie Valley. The print run, which will begin at 1,000 copies, is being subsidized by Knight and a friend. Knight expects to fund the paper with advertising revenue, and has fellow SUNY Cobleskill student Shania Marotta signed on as the advertising manager.
"There is a dearth of real reporting in this county, and change is needed in the media landscape," Knight said. "While digital has its advantages, it's limited in what you can do professionally."
Knight has found that it is difficult to fund online journalism. While digital ad rates are much lower than their print counterparts, digital ads are often more difficult to sell (a dynamic that the Watershed Post knows firsthand). Print publishing should help with cash flow, Knight said.
"There's a trust in print ads in rural communities," Knight said. "There's a sense that, if you have something in hard copy, that it's more deliberative, that more work has gone into it, and that it's going to be more directly impactful on its readers."
The Schoharie Valley is covered by two print weeklies, the Stamford-based Mountain Eagle, where Knight worked as a freelancer for a time in 2014 and 2015, and the Cobleskill-based Times Journal, which is Knight's closest competitor.
Of the Times Journal, Knight says "I am hopeful that they are receptive to having competition in the Schoharie Valley for the first time since the 1980s."
Here's to more media outlets in the Catskills. We wish Tim the best.

Apr 24, 2018 | Press Release
Montreal, April 24, 2018 – On Friday, April 27, Canadian NASCAR Pinty's series driver Alex Tagliani and 22Racing will unveil a new sponsor for his 2018 racing season at the Salon de l'Auto Sport in Quebec City.

Summer Spirit Festival to Pay Homage to Homegrown Go-Go Groove
Local Favs Be'La Dona, Sugar Bear, Ms. Kim & Scooby Back with Pulsating Beat

The 2019 Summer Spirit Festival, hosted by Carol Kirkendall and Darryll Brooks, CD Enterprises, Inc., will blend soul, R&B, jazz, Hip-Hop, and Go-Go. Sugar Bear will be featured with Be'la Dona. (Courtesy photo)
With a history boasting roots can be traced to the early 70s, replete with free, family-friendly outdoor concerts in Anacostia Park in Southeast, the musings of determined grassroots activists including one D.C. transplant named Marion Barry and gifted musicians known for spitting out lyrics that inspired while African-like cadences kept the beat – on overturned buckets not snare drums, the season's annual go-go groove party is poised to make its return.
The 2019 Summer Spirit Festival, presented by the dynamic duo of Carol Kirkendall and Darryll Brooks, professionally known as CD Enterprises, Inc., have long-proven that they have a penchant for putting on a concert second to none. And that's what they promise to bring once more on Saturday, Aug. 3 at the Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, MD.
Their tagline, perhaps, summarizes their mission best: "Not just another concert but an event."
"We pride ourselves in running a great show with great sounds, lights and a show that starts on time," they said. We want the show to be special for our customers."
One impressive, if not unique quality of the yearly Summer Spirit Festival rests with its balanced, diverse lineup of entertainers, some known nationally and others more local favorites including brand new talent performing in front of an audience of thousands for the very first time.
Brooks says it's always like a big family returning home for the holidays.
"We haven't changed our stripes or our mission since we started doing our thing in 72," he said. "My crew's been here. In the early days, Chuck Brown [the godfather of go-go] was always there giving us his support. And as youngsters came aboard, we mentored them, we taught them the nuances of the business and we gave them opportunities to leave basement and backyard parties and do their thing on the big stage. Many of those youths have gone on to great careers and made their mark all over the world. Things like that, success stories similar in nature, are what have kept us going," Brooks said while his business partner nodded her head in agreement.
This year's lineup includes: Anthony Hamilton, Raphael Saadiq and Jhene Aiko but with an emphasis on paying tribute to D.C.'s own form of music, go-go, there will be local entertainers like Backyard Band, Sirius & Company (Ms. Kim & Scooby), Be'La Dona featuring Sugar Bear and many more. There may even be a few surprise guests, so those who plan to attend should get to the venue early and prepare to stay until the last downbeat falls.
"We're featuring footage from 'Go-Go Live and celebrating the Go-Go Posse's 'D.C. Don't Stand for Dodge City,'" Kirkendall added.
"We cannot let that spirit that's the foundation to go-go ever be stripped away from D.C.'s Black community," Brooks said. "Not even this second wave of gentrification has the power to strip us of our identify, our mark on this city that has since spread throughout the nation and across the globe. We aren't going anywhere and neither is our music."

Q: Using a spinner to open up a new activity and displaying downloaded html data String[] songList = {
        "1",
        "2",
        "3",

 };
Spinner sp;

        TextView selection;

        @Override
        public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {

            setContentView(R.layout.main);
            selection = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.selection);

            Spinner spin = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner);
            spin.setOnItemSelectedListener(this);

            ArrayAdapter<Object> aa = new ArrayAdapter<Object>(
                    this,
                    android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item,
                    songList);

            aa.setDropDownViewResource(
               android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
            spin.setAdapter(aa);
        }

        public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View v, int position,
                long id) {
            selection.setText(songList[position]);
            String song = songList[position];
            Intent intent = new Intent(this, Tabview.class);
            Bundle b = new Bundle();
            b.putString("song", song);
            intent.putExtras(b);
            startActivityForResult(intent, 0);
        }

        public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> parent) {
            selection.setText("");
        }
{

I have this code written right now. Pretty much what I'm trying to do is use the spinner selection to open a new activity (which I have done) BUT, I am also trying to use httpget to  download information based on a link.
So, for ex:
If I press "1", it will open up a new activity, then it will call an httpget method, then it will download the data based on what you pressed. and that data will change for each option you press (EX. "1"= google.com, "2"=facebook.com, etc.) and then that data will be displayed in the activity.
I also want to only use ONE activity to display the data for each selection.
Also in my "Tabview.class" I have:
Bundle b = new Bundle();
    String song = b.getString("song");

Thanks for any help!

A: What exactly is the error you get? The code seems to work. If you wanted to choose something according to the selection, you can use a simple if condition on the bundled string. Or if the issue here is about http get, take a look at the documentation here. You can use an AyncTask to make an http request without blocking.
For a reference, I have attached my code which just an improved version of your code.
public class ActivityxActivity extends Activity {
    String[] songList = {"ONE","TWO","THREE"};
    Intent intent1;
    Bundle strs;
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
        final Spinner sp = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner1);
        ArrayAdapter<Object> aa = new ArrayAdapter<Object>(this, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, songList);
        aa.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
        sp.setAdapter(aa);
        sp.setOnItemSelectedListener(new MyOnItemSelectedListener());
        intent1 = new Intent(getApplicationContext(),AnotherActivity.class);
    }
    public class MyOnItemSelectedListener implements OnItemSelectedListener {
        public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int pos, long id)  {
            strs = new Bundle();
            strs.putInt("item", pos);
            strs.putString("song", parent.getItemAtPosition(pos).toString());
            intent1.putExtras(strs);
            startActivity(intent1);
        }
        @Override
        public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> arg0) {}
    }
}

And in the other activity,
public class AnotherActivity extends Activity {
    Bundle data;
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
        data = getIntent().getExtras();
        Integer item = data.getInt("item");
        //Use a switch(item) here to switch to different links based on selection
        TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tv1);
        tv.setText("Another Activity, Item is :" + item.toString());
    }
}

Make sure you add your activity in the Android Manifest file.
Thanks

Whenever a high-concept designer reveals their latest collection of trainers, we brace ourselves for the inevitable onslaught of the ridiculous and sublime. Givenchy's footwear range for Autumn/Winter 2014 is thankfully a pinch of the former with a healthy dose of the latter.
The new lineup features several variations of the Tyson high-top - the majority featuring white and black colour builds, with details picked out in contrasting blacks, whites and browns. The highlight of the collection is easily the brown leather iteration, featuring the label's signature star-studded ankle strap.
While we're not quite ready to bury ourselves in the depths of Autumn/Winter fashion just yet (we're still hoping that summer might turn up some time soon), it's nice to know that Givenchy has put together a collection that'll help us get through those cold, dark nights with a touch of urban flare. Keep an eye on their website for prices and the immanent due date.

Will Not Work In The United States. Exclusive For Use In 220 Volt Countries To Convert And Transform 220 Volts to 110 Volts.
Measurements - 5" X 6 1/2" X 9"
This product is a relay-type high accuracy household voltage stabilizer and transformer. Ideal power source for voltage regulation for modern household electrical appliances. Designed to transform 220 volts to 110 volts up to 500 watts. It can safely be used with a wide range of electrical equipment, including home appliances, tools, computer equipment, etc. Ventilated design for continuous use. It is applicable for areas with large fluctuations of electric network voltages.
The manufacturer recommends you purchase a transformer that is 25% higher then the wattage you need. You should know that you will never damage your appliance with a higher voltage transformer, however if you buy one that is not powerful enough, it will not work.
Remember to leave at least a 100% slack for the transformer. Some items, such as laser printers and power tools, spike when you turn them on. For these types of situations you need to buy a transformer that is at least 3 times the items capacity.


At all levels of the game corner kicks create issues for the referee. Upon signaling that a corner kick will be used to restart the match, referees must be aware of all the activities that will take place both before and during the taking of the kick.
Even before the ball is put into play, players will work to give themselves an advantage. They will jostle for position, they will hold, push and grab to secure the best position they can to gain control of the ball.
While referees are usually focusing on the activities taking place directly in front of the goal they must also be aware of any assistant referee's signals prior to the kick and while the ball is in flight. Having to divide his/her attention in two directions at such a tense moment of the match occurs at every corner kick.
When kicked, the ball while in the air may bend over the goal line (leaving the field) and returning to the field. The only official who can judge whether the ball clearly and entirely left the field is the assistant referee who is standing behind the corner flag. The flag may go up immediately and because the referee's attention is in front of the goal, the signal may be missed.
If a goal is scored and the flag signal is missed the referee will have to deal with two issues. One being embarrassment, the second being complaints from the players and both can lead to game control.
Upon realizing that he/she missed the flag signal the referee must disallow the goal and restart with a goal kick. An unpopular decision, probably, but the correct one. Because of the delay in making the call, the referee may have to deal with dissent and may have to issue cautions.
Another more awkward situation will surface if the ball has left the field on its flight to the goal area, returns to the field and play continues while the raised flag signal is not noticed. During a counterattack, with the referee now running away from the assistant with the flag up, stopping play way up the field once the flag signal is finally recognized will undoubtedly be very unpopular, lead to more dissent and create some game control issues for the referee.
Overlooking the missed call or waving the flag down (as can be legally done in other situations) is not an option in these cases. Once the ball has legally left the field, it is out of play. The only and proper way to handle the situation is to stop play and restart with a goal kick.
Discuss possible corner kick scenarios with the assistants during the pregame. Be aware of and prepared for what can happen during corner kicks. Select the best position that will give you the best line of sight and allow you to simultaneously watch the players and your assistant. Be quick on the whistle when the flag goes up in these situations.

The Upanishads are the principle texts of what is often regarded as the Hindu religion. Compiled between 800 and 500 BC, they are the result of meditations on many of the themes found in the Vedas, but brought to a new philosophical and spiritual level through the introduction of the concept of Brahman or universal spirit.
There lived once Svetaketu. . . To him his father Uddalaka . . . said: "Svetaketu, go to school; for no one belonging to our race, dear son, who, not having studied, is, as it were, a Brahmin by birth only"
Having begun his apprenticeship when he was twelve years of age, Svetaketu returned to his father, when he was twenty-four, having then studied all the Vedas,conceited, considering himself well-read, and stern.
His father said to him: "Svetaketu, as you are so conceited, considering yourself so well-read and so stern, my dear, have you ever asked for that instruction by which we hear what cannot be heard, by which we perceive what cannot be perceived, by which we know what cannot be known? "
"What is that instruction, Sir?" he asked. . .
"Fetch me . . . a fruit of the Nyagrodha tree."
"What do you see there?"
The father said: "My son, that subtle essence which you do not perceive there, of that very essence this great Nyagrodha tree exists.
"Believe it, my son. That which is the subtle essence, in it all that exists has its self. It is the True. It is the Self, and you, . . . Svetaketu, are it. "
"Please, Sir, inform me still more," said the son.
"Be it so, my child," the father replied.
"Place this salt in water, and then wait on me in the morning."
The son did as he was commanded.
The father said to him: "Bring me the salt, which you placed in the water last night."
The son having looked for it, found it not, for, of course, it was melted.
The father said: "Taste it from the surface of the water. How is it?"
The son replied: "It is salt."
"Taste it from the middle. How is it?"
"Taste it from the bottom. How is it?"
The father said: "Throw it away and then wait. . .on me.
He did so, but the salt exists forever.
Then the father said: "Here also, in this body, . . . you do not perceive the True, my son; but there indeed it is.
"That which is the subtle essence, in it all that exists has its self. It is the True. It is the Self, and you, Svetaketu, are it."
"And when the body grows weak through old age, or becomes weak through illness, at that time that person, after separating himself from his members, as a mango, or fig, or Pippala-fruit is separated from the stalk, hastens back again as he came, to the place from which he started, to new life. . .
"Then both his knowledge and his work take hold of him and his acquaintance with former things.
"And as a caterpillar, after having reached the end of a blade of grass, and after having made another approach to another blade, draws itself together towards it, thus does this Self, after having thrown off this body and dispelled all ignorance, and after making another approach to another body, draw himself together towards it.
"And as a goldsmith, taking a piece of gold, turns it into another, newer and more beautiful shape, so does this Self, after having thrown off this body and dispelled all ignorance, make unto himself another, newer and more beautiful shape. . .
"Now as a man is like this or like that, according as he acts and according as he behaves, so will he be: a man of good acts will become good, a man of bad acts, bad. He becomes pure by pure deeds, bad by bad deeds.
"And here they say that a person consists of desires. And as is his desire, so is his will; and as is his will, so is his deed; and whatever deed he does, that he will reap.
"So much for the man who desires. But as to the man who does not desire, who, not desiring, freed from desires, is satisfied in his desires, or desires the Self only, his vital spirits do not depart elsewhere--being Brahman, he goes to Brahman.
"On this there is this verse: 'When all desires which once entered his heart are undone, then does the mortal become immortal, then he obtains Brahman.'"
"Now as a man, when embraced by a beloved wife, knows nothing that is without, nothing that is within, thus this person, when embraced by the intelligent Self, knows nothing that is without, nothing that is within. This indeed is his true form, in which his wishes are fulfilled, in which the Self only is his wish, in which no wish is left--free from any sorrow.
"Then a father is not a father, a mother not a mother, the worlds not worlds, the gods not gods, the Vedas not Vedas. Then a thief is not a thief, a murderer not a murderer, a Kandala not a Kandala,  a Sramana not a Sramana,  a Tapasa not a Tapasa. He is not followed by good, not followed by evil, for he has then overcome all the sorrows of the heart."
 This is the law of karma.
 The kandalas were the lowest of all the pariahs, those without caste.
 A person atoning for sins.

Writing about the city
Some examples of great narratives that build a vivid, sensitive, sometimes shocking or unconventional picture of the Urban:
The city belongs to the dogs. Light-footed, they pass by the people. Now and then they stop for a chat. Their eyes are loyal and alert, their hides are rough, an everlasting suit. When it rains they curl up in circles. They have friends far away. Their ears are pricked up. An alert stomach accompanies their every step. They sleep somewhere or other, invisible. Their gait, though high-spirited, has something stooped about it. They laugh in the shine of the night lamps, sniff at the walls, walk on along the tarred bay of the street. The houses encircle their gaze; the dogs' gaze goes straight ahead into the dull darkness. Far ahead of them in the night they see a short stretch of horizon. They head towards it. Now and then they dip their paws in a pond of light.
Judith Keller, The Last House, trans. Katy Derbyshire (Readux Books, 2014), 6.
But what was the Domain to be used for? The buildings gave pride, or were meant to; they satisfied some personal need of the President's. Was that all they were for? But they had consumed millions. The farm didn't materialize. The Chinese or Taiwanese didn't turn up to till the land of the new model African farm. The six tractors that some foreign government had given remained in a neat line in the open and rusted, and the grass grew high about them. The big swimming pool near the building that was said to be a conference hall developed leaks and remained empty, with a wide-meshed rope net at the top. The Domain had been built fast, and in the sun and the rain decay also came fast. After the first rainy season many of the young trees that had been planted beside the wide main avenue died, their roots waterlogged and rotted.
V. S. Naipaul, A Bend in the River (Basingstoke and Oxford: Picador, 2011), 117.
Kausalji says in English, "Go slow, friend, go slow. If you help that much they will get entrenched here. But the place has been condemned. If you can move them, and plant some more trees, this spot with the river, the hills and the trees will make an excellent picnic area. In Madhopura my brother-in-law is the Managing Director of State Tourism, and as you know, in Bhopal my …"
A rickety house is condemned. And the living area of tribals. Unfit for the residence of the forest dwellers but fit for picnics. But Shankar was saying yesterday, "there used to be forest all around, now there is nothing. Still the graves of our forefathers are in Pirtha. We give to Pirtha's waters the bones of our dead at the end of mourning time, we burn them. Then we put the ashes in a new bowl and bury them, put up a stone."
Mahasweta Devi, 'Pterodactyl, Puran Sahay, and Pirtha', in Imaginary Maps, trans. Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak (London: Routledge, 1995), 151.
You could not see the new city from the old one. In the new city, a race of pink conquerors had built palaces in pink stone; but the houses in the narrow lanes of the old city jostled, shuffled, blocked each other's view of the roseate edifices of power. Not that anyone ever looked in that direction, anyway. In the Muslim muhallas or neighbourhoods which clustered around Chandni Chowk, people were content to look inwards into the screened-off courtyards of their lives; to roll chick-blinds down over their windows and verandahs. In the narrow lanes, young loafers held hands and linked arms and kissed when they met and stood in hip-jutting circles, facing inwards. There was no greenery and the cows kept away, knowing they weren't sacred here. Bicycle bells rang constantly. And above their cacophony sounded the cries of itinerant fruit sellers: Come all you greats-O, eat a few dates-O!
Salman Rushdie, Midnight's Children (London: Vintage, 1995), 69.
The entrance of the Wassertorstrasse was a big stone archway, a bit of old Berlin, daubed with hammers and sickles and Nazi crosses and plastered with tattered bills which advertised auctions or crimes. It was a deep, shabby cobbled street, littered with sprawling children in tears. Youths in woolen sweaters circled waveringly across it on racing bikes and whooped at girls passing with milk-jugs. The pavement was chalk-marked for the hopping game called Heaven and Earth. At the end of it, like a tall, dangerously sharp, red instrument, stood a church.
Christopher Isherwood, Goodbye to Berlin (Mandarin Paperbacks, London, 1989 (original 1939)), 128.
I had never been in a room where men and women danced for mutual pleasure, and out of pleasure in one another's company. Trembling expectation was in that girl's heavy legs, the girl in the green dress. It was a new dress, loosely hemmed, not ironed into a crease, still suggesting the material as it had been measured out and bought.
While I sweep up the wrappers I watch the other rituals of the morning: Mr Halpert unlocking the laundry's handcart from its mooring to a cellar door, Joe Cornacchia's son-in-law stacking out the empty crates from the delicatessen, the barber bringing out his sidewalk folding chair, Mr. Goldstein arranging the coils of wire which proclaim the hardware store is open, the wife of the tenement's super intendent depositing her chunky three-year-old with a toy mandolin on the stoop, the vantage point from which he is learning English his mother cannot speak. Now the primary children, heading for St. Luke's, dribble through the south; the children from St. Veronica\s cross, heading to the west, and the children from P.S 41, heading toward the east. Two new entrances are made from the wings: well-dressed and even elegant women and men with brief cases emerge from doorways and side streets. Most of these are heading for the bus and subways, but some hover on the curbs, stopping taxis which have miraculously appeared at the right moment, for the taxis are part of a wider morning ritual: having dropped passengers from midtown in the downtown financial district, they are now bringing downtowners up to midtown. Simultaneously, numbers of women in housedresses have emerged and as they crisscross with one another they pause for quick conversations that sound with laughter or joint indignation, never, it seems, anything in between. It is time for me to hurry to work too, and I exchange my ritual farewell with Mr. Lofaro, the short, thick bodied, white-aproned fruit man who stands outside his doorway a little up the street, his arms folded, his feet planted, looking solid as the earth itself. We nod; we each glance quickly up and down the street, then look back at each other and smile. We have done this many a morning for more than ten years, and we both know what it means: all is well.
Jane Jacobs, The Death and Life of Great American Cities (Random House, 1961), 206.

S. K., a chauffeur from Moscow, won the jackpot when he played the Austria Lotto online on 24 February 2016. He correctly matched the drawn numbers 4, 17, 18, 23, 31, 40 and the Bonus Number ("Zusatzzahl") 20. S. has officially collected his €824K win in Vienna and spoke at length to theLotter's local team.
"I Only Started Playing Lotteries Online from Russia at theLotter a Few Months Ago!"
"Thankfully I found out that there were various lottery ticket services online; I started to read information about several companies and I opted for theLotter in August 2015. And, as you can see, I was very successful."
S. played various lotteries in Europe and elsewhere for a few months, when, early 2016 he tried his luck in the Austria Lotto. As usual, he picked his numbers in a random manner. Then, when he came home from work in the evening, he opened his laptop and saw that he'd won.
"My first thought was that I'd won 680 thousand. Then I looked again and saw that I'd hit the jackpot. I immediately called my wife to the computer and I said: "Tatiana, look, how much money we've won!" I guess you could say that we were prepared for the phone call from theLotter, but still… I lost 3.5 kilos in two days – that is how excited I was."
S. really lit up when we asked him what he was going to do with his new-found wealth!
"We have already agreed in the family: the kids will get their apartments, we will buy a country house for us, a car… and I'm also going to help a young boy who is suffering from cancer with part of the money.
Of course I will continue to play, because I want to come back to Austria – or maybe to London one day, when I win again. But just now, before I flew to Vienna to pick up the jackpot, I played the Austrian lottery from Russia again."
What a wonderful man, what a wonderful story! Once again, our congratulations to S., who now joins theLotter's Hall of Fame – a place which is becoming more and more crowded lately. Since the company was founded in 2002, theLotter has helped layers from all over the world win more than $50 million in lottery prizes, but especially during the last few months success stories are pouring in. An Iraqi player won $6.4 million in the Oregon Megabucks, a Canadian won $1 million in the Powerball, a pensioner from El Salvador won $1 million in the Powerball and now S. joins the long list of online lottery prize winners.
S. K.'s big win certainly turned the spotlight on the Austria Lotto! Will you be the next to join him on our Winners Page?

Nikki Haley Asks AOC How Will She Pay for Green New Deal When She Wants to Pay People Not to Work

Former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley questioned Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's plan to pay for a Green New Deal and Medicare for All, asking where the money will come from when she wants to pay people to stay home and not work and she wants student loan forgiveness.
As CNSNews.com reported, Ocasio-Cortez is pressuring former Vice President Joe Biden to keep his promise of a $2 trillion Green New Deal.
Joined by members of the so-called squad – Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and Rashida Tlaib (R-Mich.) – and other leftists at a press conference outside the Democratic National Committee on Thursday, Ocasio-Cortez said, "We're winning. It's working. It's happening. And we are going to secure our future. We're going to secure the basic tenets of a Green New Deal, a multi-trillion jobs program for climate, for environmental, racial, gender and class justice."
That same day, Ocasio-Cortez tweeted, "To get the virus under control, we need to pay people to stay home."

"Republicans are mad at this when they literally just voted to do just this in March. The reason they're opposed to it now is because last time they got a Wall Street bailout and this time all that's left is helping working people, the disabled, the poor, etc.," she tweeted.
Haley asked where the money will come from to pay for a Green New Deal if she wants people to get paid to stay home.
"AOC, Are you suggesting you want to pay people to stay home from the money you take by defunding the police? Or was that for the student debts you wanted to pay off, the Green New Deal or Medicare for All? #WhereIsTheMoney," Haley tweeted on Thursday.
Haley said it's just "another reason" for Republicans to win the Senate runoffs in Georgia in January so the Senate remains in Republican control and can "stop bad things from happening."
"Another reason we need to win the Ga races, to stop bad things from happening. AOC and her liberal squad are pressuring Biden to pass their $93 trillion Green New Deal, which would cost up to $600,000 per household estimated by the American Action Forum," she tweeted on Friday.

cling to your icy crystals.
Notes: Happy Poetry Friday! Thanks to Katie, a Wisconsin language arts and social studies teacher, at The Logonauts for hosting!
I'm a bit weighed down by politics today. The Senate used an arcane rule to muzzle Elizabeth Warren. Have other writers had people try to silence them? Some see me as lacking understanding and have tried to silence me. Nonetheless, I believe I will persist in writing from my heart and supporting free speech, freedom of religion and due process. And magic.
We're having our second snow day in a row. Here is a link to a poem I wrote to celebrate one of those, Ode to a Snow Day.
Keep persisting, Brenda! Your voice (poetic and otherwise) is both needed and appreciated.
It was 80 here yesterday, the weather very strange, still snowy in the mountains for skiing, though. I love it all, but especially the one with scents on the snow. I like reading it!
So glad you are persisting. You have a voice that is strong and beautiful and finds the beautiful. Keep going! That evil king cannot win every day or every night.
Thanks. Always a pleasure to meet another poet.
Oh, to be snowed in! We have nearly hit 80 here in Texas. First, I am in love with this poem's title. Second, I am in awe of how skillfully written your message is, Brenda!
We are snowed in for a second day here. I went sledding down the hill on my knees for the first time today. Howling. LOL We won't hit the 80s for weeks, maybe months. I miss it, though. This is our first big storm of the year, and last year was light, too. So we were all happy (in my house) to welcome a Nor'easter. We are expecting more snow on Monday. That would be colossal. A weekend to remember.
What other choice is there but to persist, eh? Hang tough!
Thanks, Tabatha. I look forward to listening to your songs, but right now the snow-bound kids are blasting Hamilton's soundtrack. I'm not throwing away my SHOT!
Love this, Brenda! Will we someday call it Old Woman Winter? Yes, persist we must.
It is interesting that both personification of winter are male, Old Man Winter and Jack Frost. In Narnia, winter was queened. I do write about a snow queen occasionally.
If only we could just hit their car in the parking lot. I think it will take many more marches and articles and protests. I cannot believe Republicans ignored the women's march. That's why it took so long to get the women's vote. They ignore us. Towanda!!
I love that you knew that word! I thought you might. Yes, it may take more…but it is unifying us all, so there is real Hope! Blessings!
Brenda, this is a powerful reminder that we must make sure women's voices are heard, respected, and honored.
yes, we persist. avalanche of cold and heavy blanket of snow thrown our way, we persist.
Like millions of sleeping beauties, we are awakening.
We do need a prince to awaken us.
our prince is a flawed one.
But, then, maybe it is time for the sleeping beauties to claim their power.
my pleasure ! as always!
I enjoyed visiting you, too. I'm sleepy now, though. Zzzzz.


Drug-induced liver injury is a major issue of concern and has led to the withdrawal of a significant number of marketed drugs. An understanding of structure-activity relationships (SARs) of chemicals can make a significant contribution to the identification of potential toxic effects early in the drug development process and aid in avoiding such problems. This process can be supported by the use of existing toxicity data and mechanistic understanding of the biological processes for related compounds.

Yellow Jackets Fall Big to No.14 Central Florida in Home Opener
Posted by Greg Hollis September 19, 2020 mode_comment0
Georgia Tech came back home on Saturday to take on No.14 Central Florida for their 2020 season home opener. The Yellow Jackets fall to the Central Florida Knights 49-21 and is now 1-1. After a huge win in Tallahassee against Florida State last weekend, the Yellow Jackets wanted to ride that momentum against UCF. Unfortunately, the Knights high powered offense and too many turnovers were too much to handle for the Yellow Jackets.
The 11,000 fans Georgia Tech welcomed into the stadium did have something to look forward too from their Yellow Jackets. Even though the home team got blasted, they still showed fight against elite competition.
Freshman running back Jahmyr Gibbs missed the season opener against Florida State, but showed Tech fans' he was worth the wait. Gibbs returned the opening kickoff for 75 yards to start his collegiate career. Gibbs also finished the game with fifteen carriers, 73 rushing yards, four catches, sixty yards receiving, one rushing touchdown, and a receiving touchdown.
September 19, 2020 Atlanta – Georgia Tech's quarterback Jeff Sims (10) prepares to get off a pass during the second half of an NCAA college football game at Georgia Tech's Bobby Dodd Stadium in Atlanta on Saturday, September 19, 2020. UCF won 49-21 over the Georgia Tech. (Hyosub Shin / Hyosub.Shin@ajc.com)
Yellow Jackets' quarterback Jeff Sims got outplayed by the Knights quarterback Dillon Gabriel, but Sims held his own and showed flashes of what he could be once he puts it all together. Sims finished the day 18 of 36 with 244 yards passing, 83 yards rushing, and two total touchdowns. Sims had a productive day and moved the ball against UCF's defense, but he has to work on ball security. Sims errored with two interceptions, and one fumble that cost his team in a big way.
The Yellow Jackets' defense created two turnovers, but it didn't help much when their offense had five turnovers. With a veteran and talented quarterback like Dillon Gabriel, those turnovers can cost you. Gabriel went 27 of 41 with 417 yards passing and four touchdowns. The Knights' offense was able to capitalize off turnovers scoring fourteen points.
Georgia Tech's head coach Geoff Collins spoke about the team's turnovers and the future of the program.
"They'll learn from their mistakes; they will get better. But the future and present are bright if guys continue to build on the things they've been taught, the things the older guys are teaching them, and just not let things go sideways on us in a hurry."
The final score doesn't reflect how hard the young Yellow Jackets fought. They went into the half down 28-14. They shut down the Knights' offense in the third quarter and started the fourth quarter with a quick score to close the gap to 28-21 before turnovers, and big plays ended their comeback hopes.
Georgia Tech fell to 1-1 and will look to bounce back on Sep. 26th when they hit the road to face off against Syracuse, another conference opponent.

Indigo Eyes: A Peter Murphy Fan Site

Unshattered Art
Additional Artistic Ventures
2015 began quietly. Again, no news of a tour, a new album, or even a single. Most unsettling still was the lack of any sort of tour to support Lion in Europe. As the months wore on, fans became anxious for news, any news. Finally, the wait was rewarded with an announcement of Murphy headlining the alternative music festival Ink-N-Iron's final Long Beach, California, appearance that summer (the festival was relocating to Tennessee for the future). While not an obvious choice of venue for Murphy (Ink-N-Iron focusing largely on punk rock and ska with events dedicated to tattoo artists and muscle cars – none of which began to describe Murphy musically or personally), it was at the very least something.
Additional dates in California were added around the Ink-N-Iron festival and it was soon announced that an album featuring alternate remixes of Lion songs and unreleased material from those recording sessions would be released (Remixes From Lion). In spite of a spell of laryngitis, the four shows were a huge hit, seeing Thwaite back on guitar and Murphy up to his usual (albeit slightly reserved due to illness) antics. Following the California dates in June, Murphy again retreated to the shadows, only mentioning vaguely of a new project in the works, but no further news of new touring itineraries or music. It was later revealed that Murphy will star in the psychological horror film BlackGloveKiller, directed by Canadian-filmmaker Chris Alexander. The exact details are still unclear, but it appears BlackGloveKiller will be Murphy's first major film role (with prior cameos in The Hunger with Bauhaus and Eclipse from the Twilight Saga, playing "The Cold One"). A proper full audio release of the Mr. Moonlight Tour show captured on DVD (from the Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles on July 27, 2013) was announced for release on October 30, 2015.

Today we are leaving our base in Greifenburg and heading to south. In our region the cloudbase is not going to be high throughout all southern part of Austrian and Italian Alps. However, what is not high enough for a decent flight in Greifenburg can sometimes be more than good in Italy. The next two days promise to be suitable for flying in the areas of Vittorio Venetto, Meduno and Gemona. Most of our pilots have never flown in Meduno, so the plan for us today is to fly locally, to get acquainted with the peculiarities of the ridges and flats in the vicinity of this take off and to get prepared for a bigger task tomorrow. With all this said now we are setting off to Meduno.
The pilots are launching to fly together with Gerolf towards Aviano ridge and back.

Q: How to convert string to hours in dart? I have string like "080000000000" mean 08.00 AM. So, i'm using format DateFormat('jm');
I tried to substring 4 first string convert using DateTime.parse but throws an exception.
How to achieve the given string to  08.00 AM?

A: As you are only Dealing with

Time of the Day

*

*You can use - TimeOfDay class
Code :
String myVal = "080000000000";

String myHour = myVal.substring(0, 2);
String myMin = myVal.substring(2, 4);

TimeOfDay releaseTime = TimeOfDay(hour: int.parse(myHour), minute: int.parse(myMin));
print(releaseTime.format(context)); // 8:00 AM

Also for accepted string for
DateTime parse (
String formattedString
)

you can check Examples of accepted strings: - https://api.dartlang.org/stable/2.2.0/dart-core/DateTime/parse.html
For 24-hours format - add:
MaterialApp(
      builder: (context, child) =>
          MediaQuery(data: MediaQuery.of(context).copyWith(alwaysUse24HourFormat: true), child: child),


Build 5J39 introduces lists as first-class values. For any kind of value K, "list of K" is now also a kind of value, and rich support is provided for building and iterating over lists, which are dynamically resized as necessary. Otherwise little is new, but once again all known bugs have been fixed.
