Construction manner of woven articles (materials, tools, prices, etc.)

print preview

Of great interest is the analytical presentation of 1) the materials and processing for the construction of yarn, 2) the implements and tools for weaving, 3) weaving and the processes after it, and finally 4) an approach as to cost and prices of the final product.From the Neolithic age plant or animal fibers were used in weaving. In 1883 the use of synthetic fibers began that are separated into regenerated fibers e.g. rayon, viscose and fibers industrially processed such as nylon, etc. simple organic compounds of chemistry. The most common animal fiber in Greece is wool and mainly ovine. It is one of the most basic raw materials of weaving. Centers of wool processing are known from long ago 2000 B.C. in Syria, Palestine and Egypt. In classical Greece the pastoral nature of peoples lives gave wool an important place. Also in the Modern Greek period wool is the primary raw material of home weaving. That is why special importance was placed in the production of finer quality wool that depended on the climate conditions, the soil, water, from the breed of the sheep while many times they proceeded to cross breeding with the ultimate goal of achieving better quality wool.
The kouros, namely the shearing of the sheep, is rough work because the wool of sheep as also of goats is saturated with fat (sargia) so the scissors, which is the basic tool, cannot easily penetrate the wool. In order for one to shear animals he must be familiar with the technique and of course have strength.
The time period of the shearing is specific: end of March or beginning of April kouloukrizoun or kolokourevoun the sheep, namely they shear the thighs, chest and belly of the animals. This wool is short and lower in quality and is called koulokra or koilomallo. In this manner the animal is relieved from the heat and parasites by removing its thick coat. The good wool comes from the regular shearing that takes place in May. This wool is long and called maisia. Souma or lagara comes from this. Taking care of the flock and its maintenance, as well as the shearing, were exclusively male chores.Following the carding is the spinning, a process that transforms the wool to yarn. For the spinning the distaff is used which is supported on the hip of the spinner or under the armpit. Except for the distaff the tsikriki is also encountered. The tsikriki is a wooden tool whose use was generalized in the 19th century and replaced the horizontal spinning manner of the distaff. It is a simple type of cylinder with a groove where the crossed yarn is wound.
The woman spinning pulls a few fibers of the wool, twists it with her fingers and ties the end of it on the spindle, making a loop on the top portion of the spindle where the koka is located. Turning the spindle like a top from left to right, when the spindle is so full as to make its turning difficult, they remove the loop from the koka, the spun yarn is wound on the spindle and they make another loop. The wool is spun clockwise and is called right or Ζ.
For short-hair wool the drouga is used, which the spinner holds in her hand and turns it from right to right. The distance the arm reaches in one spread is called aplosia (reach). After every reach the yarn is collected on the drouga. The wool is spun counter-clockwise and is called left or S.
During the spinning yarns are used with different twists on the warp and the woof because in this manner the woven material swells, becomes more durable and fluffier.
Another spinning manner is with the sviga. The wool is tied to the bottom of the spindle, the sviga or the plano. The bolt of wool is placed on the spinners lap. The wool is tied at the beginning with a loop on the spindle. The wheel is spun with the right hand while the left hand controls the feeding of the yarn that is twisted horizontally. Two yarns may be also spun together using the sviga. Yarns of plant origin
Cotton: cotton is the most common fiber of plant origin. The cultivation, gathering and treatment of cotton were done by hand. In the prefecture of Ioannina cotton was not systematically grown because of the mountainous soil of the area.In the Prefecture of Ioannina the material most widely used was wool given that animal breeding was the primary activity of the population entirely connected with the mountains of Ipirus.

At the same time, a small share of U.S. adults report that they found a big different via on-line relationship platforms. Some 12% of adults say they’ve married or entered right into a dedicated relationship with somebody they first met via a courting website or app. Other incidents spotlight how courting websites or apps can become a venue for bothersome or harassing behavior – particularly for ladies under the age of 35. The current survey finds that online courting is particularly in style amongst certain groups – significantly younger adults and those that determine as lesbian, homosexual or bisexual (LGB). Americans who’ve used online courting offer a blended take a look at their time on these platforms.

The Positives Of Online Dating (#1-

Plenty of Fish itself likes to point that out, saying that users are 2.7 instances extra more likely to be matched of their first 24 hours. If you’re a girl and you hate being the primary individual to provoke a conversation, then Bumble positively isn’t for you. Profiles are additionally very brief, consisting of a concise blurb and 6 photos or fewer.

This could make it exhausting to gauge whether or not or not you’re interested in someone, even at the most superficial level. Furthermore, because Bumble locations the onus on the lady to provoke the dialog, we’ve discovered that it can entice a more passive crowd than other dating apps. However, if you’re a lady who knows what she desires and isn’t afraid to get it, Bumble is worth a shot. Bumble seems eerily similar to Tinder, but features a tad differently.

The Best Dating Sites

There are many ways in which using online relationship apps can land you in a world of hassle. Regardless of your intentions, what you ship, the way you communicate, and who you might be speaking with can lead to legal costs. As the laws proceed to attempt to catch up to our know-how, it’s important that you simply take the mandatory precautions. If you might be dealing with criminal allegations referring to your actions on an online relationship site or app, it is vital that you search help from an experienced legal professional. Our attorneys at Wallin and Klarich have represented clients facing such costs for over 30 years.

Scams Have Happened

This clearly goes without saying, however it’s equally important on the earth of online dating. The world of online dating has taken a dramatic flip during the last several years. It used to require organising elaborate and detailed accounts via or one of the few different reputable websites. The very thought of using these web sites doubtless seemed international or somewhat bit unusual to many on the time.

The Negatives Of Traditional Dating (#10-

As you’d hope following the rigmarole of becoming a member of, the app itself is well designed and fairly straightforward. The very first thing you’ll have to do is about up your profiles; there’s one for relationship and one for networking. Once your profile is energetic, you possibly can evaluation closely curated relationship prospects, or access the Social Mode. This feature reveals different hotspots where different members are hanging out, so it’s a great mode for selling face-to-face networking.

ashley madison

Ladies can do the identical factor if they wish to chat with a match, but haven’t had time through ashley madison the first day. For identical-gender matches, either particular person can initiate the dialog first.

Thanks to the rigorous software methodology and strict code of conduct, you”ll discover Raya members are typically extra respectful of others. They’re also extra invested in the app total, meaning they’re extra prone to meet other members in individual.

Pew Research Center has long studied the altering nature of romantic relationships and the position of digital technology in how individuals meet potential partners and navigate web-primarily based dating platforms. This specific report focuses on the patterns, experiences and attitudes related to on-line dating in America. These findings are primarily based on a survey carried out Oct. 16 to twenty-eight, 2019, amongst 4,860 U.S. adults. The margin of sampling error for the complete sample is plus or minus 2.1 proportion factors. „Most Popular Online Dating Apps in The United States as of September 2019, by Audience Size (in Millions).“

ashley madison

On the flip facet, with online dating, you possibly can increase your bodily boundaries and meet folks from everywhere in the city, state, nation, or world if you want to. We’ve heard loads of tales about folks falling in love on-line although they lived miles and miles away from one another. Before on-line dating (read about how it all received began here), folks were connecting through private adverts, pleased hours, or mutual friends. You probably see the upside of this should you’re not the largest fan of online dating or the internet, generally. Plenty of Fish (POF) is one of the oldest relationship providers on the market, and it’s certainly the most important, after hitting ninety million users in May 2017.

You Don’t Have To Pay For A Quality Online Dating Experience

The big catch with Bumble is that when reverse genders match, the lady must message the guy first — and she has 24 hours to do so. Guys don’t have as much energy, but they will prolong matches for twenty-four hours if they’re really hoping to listen to from a selected girl.

Regular readers would remember my look into IDE's / Programming Editors for the Linux platform from the last post. My main reason for this was to try and find something to replace Ultraedit Studio which has been my weapon of choice for coding for the past 7 or 8 years. Well, I've possibly found a better alternative - running Ultraedit 'natively' on Linux!

No, unfortunately IDM have not decided to port UE for Linux (although more on that below...), I have discovered Wine. Wine is an application layer that allows Windoze applications to run on Linux by allowing access to dll files.

The Wine website has an application database that lists applications tested with Wine, this ranges from applications like UEdit to PC based games. There are several entries listed for Ultraedit - namely different versions. There are some reports that ftp functionality does not work or is limited but generally it appears that Ultraedit functions fine. The Database entry can be viewed HERE and the Wine Home page can be viewed HERE

Installation of Wine in Ubuntu is easy - simply choose Wine in the Synaptic Package Manager. Wine is also available for other flavours of linux, with installation options to suit each.

After installing Wine, you will now need to download a copy of Ultraedit to your linux box. I've chosen to download and install Ultraedit Studio. Installation involves setting the exe file to open with Wine - this can be easily done by right clicking on the file and choosing 'open with other application'.

A bit of a tip - I found that if I chose the custom installation it would fall over trying to register wodCertificate.dll - wheras choosing the typical installation had no problems.

After the Installation process has been run you should now have a working copy of Ultraedit.

If you don't like the appearance you can install theme files but general reports of these are that they do have an effect an performance. THIS thread over at 'Linux for Designers' shows how you can modify the registry settings within Wine to change it's appearance to something a little easier on the eyes.

Whilst on the topic of Linux for Designers - I noticed a link there to IEs 4 Linux a packaged installation allowing Internet Explorer 5, 6 and 7 to be run under Wine in Linux (and also OSX). Testing under IE 6 and 7 is a must for web developers (and some would argue testing under IE5 is also a necessity), Under windows XP I used to use IEolas to run IE6 alongside IE7 for testing, but this stopped working with the introduction of Vista.

The IEs 4 Linux package is easily installed by following the instructions HERE - Internet Explorer 5 and 6 can be installed by checking the checkboxes on the installer dialog that appears - if you want to install IE7 you will also need to click the advanced button and select the checkbox there as well.

UPDATE!! 2007-12-28 13:08:47

After a little googling and came across THIS thread over at the Ultraedit Forums - Check the post by penntapp near the bottom of the page. It would appear that a Linux version is currently being worked on for realease in late 2008.

This is great news!! (As you can see I've already offered my services as a beta tester)

Whole House Remodel

This whole house remodel included several phases and elements.

Initially, we replaced the roof, and focused on the interior demolition.  There were several things on the chopping block, including the drop ceiling in the kitchen, the opaque stair railing, and the flooring.

Opening up the house floor plan was a primary design goal.  When we did the permit drawings, there were really just a few changes needed to improve circulation through the house.  We had to get a building permit because of those structural changes, and because of the substantial alterations requirements found in the Seattle Department of Construction and Inspections, Client assistance memo #314.   In this memo, they outline several ways of calculating what constitutes a “substantial alteration.”

Here are some of the project drawings.

For this project, the structural alterations were minimal.  We moved the front door from the side corner, back to the front of the house.  We also changed the front of the house from having a sliding glass door and two windows, to having the front door, and three windows.  It seems to create a better rhythm to the front façade, and a more recognizable entrance point.

In order to bring light into the center of the house, we added eight sun-tubes. They are also known as sun-tunnels and various other brand names, but essentially they are flexible reflective tubes that give you many of the benefits associated with skylights, without any framing or added drywall requirements.

We used the Velux brand that is available at a variety of retail locations.  They have several sizes, so we went with the 14″ in most locations, and two 22″ versions in the kitchen.  They let in so much light that you will find yourself reaching for the light switch when the lights aren’t on.

Whole House Remodel – After Construction

We changed all the windows and doors, matching the interior doors to the original mahogany closets and trim.  To match the existing detailing, the window sills and stair railing posts are also mahogany.

Initially, there were two places in the house that had been leaking.

One seemed to be related to the electric line coming into the house.  The flange at the house was a little bent, and looked like a tree branch had hit the line in the past.  That must have created an entry point for some water, because there was water damage right below that section of the roof.

The other leak area was related to homeowner fixed kitchen plumbing, so that had to be redone professionally.

It definitely had this potential when we started, but you had to look for it.

Before Construction

Another big phase of this remodel, involved removing the stucco siding and replacing it with a custom rain-screen system. We used IPE wood with a routed drip edge as the screen.  After we flashed everything, we used a woven building wrap and then sheet metal hat channels to hold the IPE off the wall and create a 1.5″ air gap between the exterior wall and the siding.

This method of siding creates a new weatherproof and breathable skin for this 1939 house.  With few bugs, and moderate temperatures in Seattle, this has proven to be a durable and paint-free siding solution.

During Construction

Ex-Macau Gangster’s ICO Raises $750 Million in Under Five Minutes

Ex-Macau Gangster’s ICO Raises $750 Million in Under Five Minutes

Wan Kuok-koi, a former Macau triad also known as “Broken Tooth”, has teamed up with a Chinese firm to fund chess and poker tournaments in the Asian country. According to reports, Wan’s ICO for “HB” tokens was able to accrue $750 million in less than five minutes.

Former gangster Wan Kuok-koi witnessed the launch of his ICO at a posh event in Cambodia and continued to find success selling his HB tokens in Thailand and the Philippines.

Overall, Wan has reportedly sold 450 million out of a planned 500 million tokens offered to the public. The ICO tour is set to conclude later this month in Malaysia.

But the ex-Macau triad has seen his offering make headlines after media said he was able to raise $750 million in less than five minutes.

Wan’s investment firm has partnered with Zhonggongxin Cosmos (Beijing) Internet Technology Limited (Zhonggongxin Cosmos) to put on a chess and poker contest during October in Hainan.

Zhonggongxin Cosmos staff member Guo Jia said rewards would be the equivalent of more than 10 million yuan (roughly $1,495,000 USD) and could be a mixture of HB tokens and cash.

Shaky and Sketchy Details

However, many are expressing skepticism about the whole operation. Zhonggongxin Cosmos’ parent company hints at being state-owned, but staffers have given contradictory answers so far when asked to disclose more details by media.

According to their website, the company says they own some game halls and have government approval to host two types of poker games. But some believe the action of using digital currencies as payment for chess and poker games could run afoul of Chinese gambling laws.

Wan Kuok-koi, a former Macau triad also known as “Broken Tooth”

Authorities in the country recently shut down an online gambling ring that saw bets being made with cryptocurrencies.

Others are concerned about the actual HB token. Shubei founder Li Yongfeng said the digital currency’s lack of a source code makes it impossible for people to keep tabs and verify HB.

It is currently traded on the Allin exchange (a.top) whose company is reportedly listed on Google as an electronics store.

A Return to Crime?

Wan’s background in the criminal underworld also has people questioning his plans. The former Triad boss was released in December 2012 after serving a 14-year sentence in the maximum security Coloane prison.

Some of the charges against him included conspiracy to import military-grade weapons and bullets to help carry out criminal battles.

Spectators commented on Wan’s apparent continued influence despite being behind bars for more than a decade, pointing out how the gangster had a 100-table feast prepared at an exclusive hotel in celebration of his release. Wan left the prison inside of a Lexus accompanied by two guards.

At the time, Wan said he had no intention of “affecting the stability of Macau” by going back to his old ways.

But some officials believed he had his eye on re-entering the casino scene and planned to be extra vigilant when it came to licenses. Wan is currently blacklisted from entering Hong Kong.

A Return to Crime?

Wan’s past history also raised a lot of questions when he announced plans in early June to use blockchain to create a “Chinese cultural town in China.” He is the current chairman of the World Hongmen History and Culture Association, which helps build schools so ethnic Chinese across the globe can learn about their culture.

One law enforcement source said the news was “astonishing” based on Wan’s criminal history and Macau’s seemingly harder stance towards cryptocurrency.

What are your thoughts on Wan’s ICO? Let us know in the comments below!

The UK Soul Chart Album

The compilation album of the year has arrived!
 THE UK SOUL CHART ALBUM  has been compiled by DSG's Gary Van den Bussche, the CD has some of the finest Soul tracks of the year from The UK Soul Chart all on one CD. The tracks on the CD have all been re-mastered for your listening pleasure. 19 Modern Soul gems including unreleased tracks and mixes, the CD will only have one limited edition pressing!

For some time now I have had the idea of compiling a UK Soul Chart CD, in the same way, that we would have once collected the Motown Chartbusters or Top of the Pops (non-original artists) albums back in the day (now I'm showing my age). So I approached Carl Barrington Webster who had also had the same idea but had put it on the backburner as he was busy.
In the UK, unlike many other countries, we have a UK soul scene and call it ‘Soul’, Americans now refer to it as R&B but they include rap etc into the genre. We are still very proud of our soul scene and respect the artists (old and new) who continue to record soul music. Many a soul legend has passed, including most recently our ‘Queen of Soul’ Aretha Franklin, so it's our duty to keep soul music alive!  The artists now recording Soul music have to live from touring and selling merchandise as due to streaming their revenue from music sales has vanished. It would be so great if respected organisations like The Grammy's and such like would bring back a Soul category to their awards so the artists of today could gain the RESPECT they have soulfully earnt, how otherwise are we going to move Soul Music forward without new artists?

Sir Wick - I Love You (Included on The UK Soul Chart CD)

                                   K Avett - The Matter (Included on the UK Soul Chart CD)

      Show Tyme -Come On Home To Me - (Included On The UK Soul Chart CD)

In this world, like it is now we might have never have had such icons as Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye,.Michael Jackson, George Benson, Earth Wind & Fire, Otis Redding, Motown Records if they never received mainstream airplay or acknowledgment of their work. I feel today there are many talented Soul singers that we need to expose to a much bigger world than just our little marketplace that many don't even know exists and by such ignore. It's up to us to spread the word Soul Music is very much alive and with help, it can be reborn.

Every week Carl and his Starpoint Radio team compile the official 'The UK Soul Chart' of which many of the featured artists on this CD have appeared. The chart airs UK Time Sunday 4-6 pm & repeated on Monday evening between 5-7 pm (UK Time).

The artwork for the CD has been designed by Roger Williams

The Radio DJ's have said...

John Leech (BBC) Indie soul is sounding good and every track on UK Soul Chart is a winner. A sumptuous collection of new, unreleased and rarities. A must album
Paul Miller (BBC) This Is A Great Compilation will receive lots of love from me.
Gary Spence(Solar Radio) Album Of The Week - What a fantastic tracklisting one of those albums
you can leave on and just let play!
Bigger (Mi-Soul, Blues & Soul) There have been some great Compilations & this has to be one of the best, In all honesty, I don't think I Skipped a track! Especially Love Miracle Thomas, Ryle, Regina Troupe, Ronnie Wright, Darien Dean & That Ed The Red must be his best ever.
JOEY COYNE (Starpoint Radio)
Wow, This must rate as one of the finest complications of the last few years.
In the words of Errol brown......Everyone's A WINNER!!!
With many thanks for your support.

DiveSkye - Dive & Sea the Hebrides - logo

An ideal base in the heart of the Hebrides | Ocean currents from north and south meet to create a unique blend of marine life | Skyes coast is 1300 miles long with endless horizons to explore | An easy reach destination with an extra special diving edge | Conveniently connectS to the mainland by a bridge, so no ferry connections to manage.

The Isle of Skye is the perfect island location for your dive expedition. Remote yet accessible, it is set like a gem in the Sea of the Hebrides and is the largest of the Inner Hebridean Islands. Centrally placed in the archipelago, with ocean waters rising from the deep Atlantic seaboard on its western horizon, ‘Dive and Sea the Hebrides’ offers some of the finest European diving available. For those that aspire to St Kilda who cannot devote the time to ensure getting there, then we offer THE no 1 very best alternative.

Here, ocean currents from the north and south, collide to create a unique blend of marine life,  enriching our seas with an abundance and diversity of life, from the tiniest plankton to the mightiest giants. With no queues at the shot-line, it means that the dive-site is yours alone to explore. The diving is superb;  a photographers paradise! Often accompanied to the divesite by porpoise and dolphins, topside encounters of marine giants are common, and in-water encounters an occasional lucky treat!

The Isle of Skye is linked by a bridge to the Scottish mainland, and makes an easy reach island location for your expedition.  The drive north to our base in the heart of the Hebrides, means that ALL of your charter time is spent diving, and not on lengthy, fickle, sea voyages. Simply get to Glasgow, Edinburgh or Inverness and from there drive through truly magnificent landscapes. As you relax and unwind, you can begin to enjoy the pace of your DiveSkye expedition, where adventure awaits. For those travelling from further afield, please see our international transport information below.

Dive & Sea the Hebrides nestles in a charismatic shoreside location in a tiny historic fishing village on the shores of Lochbay, in the dramatic Waternish peninsula of north west Skye. Benefiting from the protection of the shelter of barrier islands to the north west its offers sheltered diving in inclement weather. Beyond, is the archipelago of the outer isles over which the sunsets are acclaimed as No1 in the world. Sparsely populated and free of urban light our dark skies are mesmerising and add an extra piece of wonder to a night dive. If you are very lucky you might even see the aurora!

Glasgow | 237 miles     Inverness | 130 miles

Glasgow Prestwick | 264 miles

Aberdeen | 230 miles

Edinburgh | 262 miles

If you are coming from further afield, or want to save travelling time, there are airports at Glasgow, Prestwick, Edinburgh, Inverness and Aberdeen, however please remember that we do not hire dive equipment.

DFDS Seaways to Newcastle  | 486 miles

P&O Ferries to Hull  | 501 miles

A Ferry

Direct Ferries

A vehicle is required for travel on the island as public transport is very sparse and does not extend to the dive centres location. For these reasons many oversees visitors bring their own vehicle and travel to Scotland by ferry.

Re: new paper

Two _Sinosauropteryx_ specimens had mammal remains in their guts
(right?).   _Compsognathus_ had a lizard in its gut.  Maybe these small
predators would have eaten arthropods and other things, too, but
evidence for gut contents is scarce, and the bones of vertebrates may
preserve more readily than identifiable invertebrate elements.  As Jaime
wrote, the little feathered coelurosaurs do not appear to possess
adaptations for processing plant food.  Their dentition doesn't support
the omnivore hypothesis.

Sperber's Article on Women's Aliyos

Back in July, I went to hear Rabbi Saul Berman speak on the topic of women's aliyos (of which he is not in favor) and I wanted to post on it (don't worry, I still plan on it). However, in order to do that, I wanted to read up on the relevant literature. While it has been taking me some time to get through Shapiro's article, I figured I would briefly comment on Prof. Rabbi Sperber's article. Although the amount of Torah and general knowledge that he possesses is something that I would be lucky if I gained even 10% of that, I do not agree with his article, "Congregational Dignity and Human Dignity: Women and Public Torah Reading".
His main point is found on pages 10-11 where he states that
we know that many women have a sincere desire, a yearning, to take an active and spiritual role in the life of the community and its pursuits, and excluding them from the synagogue or from involvement in worship ceremonies is a cause of great distress, as they said, "it is a cause of great sadness to them that all gather in the synagogue and they do not." It thus seems clear that kevod ha-beriyot, individual dignity, must overcome kevod ha-tsibur, particularly when the concept of kevod hatsibur does not really pertain as it might have in ancient and medieval times.
He then concludes his article (on p. 14) by stating that
it seems to me that nowadays, in those communities where it is agreed that change within the normative halakhic framework should take place and that the absence of such change will be a source of pain and suffering to an important segment of the community, the principle of kevod ha-beriyot overcomes the stated principle of kevod ha-tsibur.
One of my concerns with his point is that כבוד הבריות (lit. "honor of the creatures", but can be translated as "human dignity") may often get over-used (I think Rabbi Professor Jeffrey Woolf expressed his concerns about this when he visited our yeshivah in February, though I should probably look into that more closely...). What I think troubles me most about Prof. R' Sperber's approach to this is his prescription that כבוד הבריות necessitates that women read in those communities that opt for such a course of action. It is one thing to say that they can halakhically read and another to say that there is a halakhic imperative. Oh well, I have to keep on reading the Shapiro article on this. More posts in the future.

I prefer the Shapiro approach to the Sperber approach. The Sperber approach is a slippery slope waiting to happen. For a good example see the Dorff gay tshuva for the CJLS where he cites Rabbi Sperber's mixed kriyah tshuva as justification for allowing some forms of gay relationships.

i'd suggest reading R'Prof. Sperber's book instead of just the article.

Which book?

You wrote "It is one thing to say that they can halakhically read and another to say that there is a halakhic imperative."

If it is halakhically permitted to expand women's (or any other group) roles to what has previously been denied to them than it IS halakhically imperative that it be done! That this is not done is IMHO the major problem of Orthodoxy.

On the other hand, if it is not halakhically permitted than, as much as one can and SHOULDring ones hands and wail and mourn over this, than one may not! (this IMHO the problem with the Conservative movement today)

(BTW, I agree with anonymous if Dorff's halakhic reasoning is wrong - and I wasn't convinced by it and my teacher says it is).

Drew Kaplan said...

AmEchad: How is it that "If it is halakhically permitted to expand women's (or any other group) roles to what has previously been denied to them than it IS halakhically imperative that it be done!"? By which reasoning do you say this? In my mind, מותר (allowed) and חובה (obligation) are two distinctly separate categories.

Avi said...

I fully acknowledge that I am imposing metahalakhic reasoning into my above statement. That is to say that if something is מותר and has a strong metahalakhic reason (feminism, losing people to non-halakhic Judaism or no Judaism [unaffiliation/intermarriage/etc.] at all) than it moves to חובה. In areas in which there is no compelling metahalakhic reason to change, then מותר can remain מותר.

see, for example, the introduction of Beit Ya'akov schools came in order to keep Jewish women in the Jewish community. So too, IF (and only IF) partnership minyanim (full disclosure: I am a member of Shira Hadasha in Jerusalem) are halakhic and women's aliyot are halakhic than too I would argue that we must make such a change. Beyond that, again, perhaps due to כבוד הציבור וכבוד הבריות (real halakhic principles, albeit that must be used only in specific circumstances) IF this is מותר than we must make such things חובה due to the dignity and honor of women.

Obviously, if one disagrees with Sperber and Shapiro and says that it is not halakhic (i.e. not מותר) that is a different position and one that, if backed up according to the positivist principles of the halakhic system and not simply because 'that's not the way it is' that is a position I can respect (disagree with the halakhic analysis, yes, but respect as firmly ground in halakhic principles). But, even there, I think that holders of said position should mourn that the halakhic system does not allow for the greater equality of women.

Avi said...

BTW, this is my disagreement with Dorff, Nevins, Reisner in terms of the Conservative gay issue. I don't think כבוד הבריות can turn the אסור into the מותר. But, it can turn the מותר into the חובה.

Steg (dos iz nit der šteg) said...

i think this is it

Anonymous said...

At core, the issue (IMHO) is that for centuries there has been a generally accepted minhag yisrael to be machmir on an issue where a more lenient position might be justified al-pi halacha.

The question then becomes what the effect of such a minhag should be when sociological factors in some segments of the community favor the halachically defensible lenient position.

I make no pretense of having thoroughly researched the issue, but it seems to me that proponents of R. Sperber's position would be best served by "winning the hearts and minds" of as many influential poskim as possible, rather than attempting to force the issue. Effecting this change by a "facts on the ground" approach runs the significant risk of creating deep and lasting communal schisms beyond those that already exist.

Get Involved with the EV Enthusiasts! - Drive Electric Northern Colorado

DENC On Twitter

Get Involved with the EV Enthusiasts!

    |    Categories: EV Enthusiasts

In an attempt to take on more roles and plan more EV activities, the group is transforming its leadership. With EV owner and long-time EV Enthusiast Calvin Holic at the helm, the group is looking to develop a committee structure to tackle this exciting transition!

Whether you’re interested in organizing Ride and Drives, putting together speakers and agendas for the monthly meetings, or taking on fun activities for the group to do, there could be a new role for you in promoting EV adoption and contributing to this volunteer and social group

“As the onus of organization falls onto us as volunteers, I want to see the EV Enthusiast group proactively seek out events they’re interested in participating in, rather than volunteering for the events organized by DENC staffers in the past,” said Holic. “Be it social events for the enthusiasts or advocacy and outreach events for the general public, I want to see this enthusiast group take on more leadership within our local community.”

As for the committee structure, there are three committees for members to get involved in:

EV Ride and Drives

This committee would be responsible for selecting community events to participate in to host a ride and drive, as well as organizing the logistics – namely securing vehicles from the dealerships and organizing volunteers for the event. Ride and Drives have long been an important way to educate the community about electric cars, and help to dispel myths people might have about EVs. All information on organizing Ride and Drives can be found on the revamped Ride and Drive webpage designed to make the process easy to plug and play.

Events and Speakers

This committee would be in charge of finding speakers of interest for the group’s monthly meetings (every other meeting or so) and for organizing other non-Ride and Drive events, such as tabling events and other group social events. In the past, the group has done a tour at the Rawhide Energy Station (pictured above), holiday parties, and other fun social events. This committee could come up with fun activities to further engage the group and truly develop an exciting community around EV ownership.

Outreach and Communication

This committee would handle social media for the Northern Colorado EV Enthusiasts, promotion for events, and EV Enthusiast newsletters. Some activities may include making cover photos for Facebook events, posting to MeetUp, making posters for Ride and Drives or other public events, and more. So if you like design and promotion, this committee could be the one for you!

If you’re interested in any of these committees or activities, email Calvin Holic at with a brief description of your interest. Also, be sure to catch the EV Enthusiast group at their next meeting on June 14th from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Snowbank Brewing!

Portugal rejects recreational cannabis, as medical becomes legal

Officials want to see long-term positive results from Uruguay or Canada before making legislative change
Talking Drugs (UK)
Tuesday, February 26, 2019

The Portuguese parliament has rejected two proposals to legalise the cultivation and sale of cannabis for recreational purposes. The first proposal, put forward by the People-Animal-Nature party (PAN), suggested limiting individuals to buying 75 grams of cannabis per month from licensed pharmacies, where sales would be overseen by state health agents who would provide information on the drug and its risks. If passed, the proposal would also have allowed people to grow six plants of cannabis per household. The second proposal, from the Left Block (BE), would have had a more relaxed approach to sale - permitting the sale of cannabis at any licensed establishment. It also would have permitted home cultivation.

The Man with the Black Valise

The story of one of the vilest murders in Canadian history.

One glorious autumn day in 1894, a drifter attacked thirteen-year-old Jessie Keith so violently that people thought Jack the Ripper must be loose in rural Ontario. To solve the crime, the government called in Detective John Wilson Murray, the true-life model for Detective William Murdoch of the popular TV series Murdoch Mysteries. His prime clue was a black valise.

The Man with the Black Valise traces the killer’s trajectory through three counties, a route that today connects travellers to poignant reminders of nineteenth-century life. Chief among them stands the statue of the Roman Goddess of Flora, gesturing as though to cast roses onto Jessie’s grave.

A tragic and dark story both fascinating and enlightening. Highly recommended.

Maureen Jennings, creator of Murdoch Mysteries

New year, new service in Essex

I heard today about a new service started by an English conductor in Essex. Stephanie Driver has set up in Brentwood offering Conductive Education sessions for children. She also teaches yoga and meditation, offers  yoga for children who have disabilities, and chair yoga for adults who have movement difficulties / disabilities.

She can be found on the Where Conductors Work map at

If you wish to know more,  please email her at

Good luck, Stephanie!

Information, information everywhere

To me, one of the most important parts of being a Librarian has always meant helping people to find the information they want, either from the library they are in or from another source using skills learnt  to search the resources available.

Since the advent of the Internet  and the World Wide Web everything has changed. There is so much information available it is difficult to sort the wheat from the chaff.

Yesterday I was sent this link which reports on an example of the new skills that Librarians have to learn now and how these can be shared.

The librarian says:

…it’s no longer a question of there not being enough information out there, but of there being too much. “There’s more filtering in the librarian’s job now,….People need help discerning good solid sources from the rest.”

The report goes on to describe a group tutorial of searching for information and sorting out what is appropriate and what is not, lead by a librarian. All involved were very pleased with the results.

I am not sure how much of this sort of help is available to those studying and researching Conductive Education. It is not a subject with much academic interest or publication and most of what is available on-line is not of the best quality.

Meeting users’ needs was an  aspect that I really enjoyed when I was working as a librarian in Conductive Education and my knowledge of the library holdings and methods of searching usually bore the right fruit.

I hope that I can still do this with my knowledge of the subject,  limited physical resources, the virtual library catalogue, and connection to the Internet.

Accessing Information, the Media and Conductive Education

We have never had more access to information, yet we are arguably more ignorant than ever before…’
I have been involved in the published communication and record of Conductive Education now for some twenty years, ever more concerned about the state of ‘the literature’, especially in recent years. I think that I have come across one reason that might help understand what has been happening in this recent time.

My nephew, Iain Akerman,  is an experienced highly thought-of journalist and I have always found his work interesting and well researched. This latest article posted on his blog, originally published in Campaign, November 2015,  is no exception.

Whilst reading this it occurred to me that all he had to say could be applied to the world of Conductive Education. Most public communication between those working and involved in CE, takes place via social media, with brief comments and announcements, and the world press has little or no interest at all in discussing or reporting the facts about it. Most press coverage tends to be in local newspapers announcing fundraising events and reporting amounts raised for a particular local centre.

As there seems to be a general trend worldwide to accept the news as given by those with control over the media, as Iain suggests,  perhaps CE will continue to be out there in the wilderness. Of no interest.

Ready for 2016

The past few months for me have been fraught with technical problems, getting a new computer, and sorting out getting started again. Hopefully all is well now and I can get back to posting, cataloguing and working on the latest project for publication by Conductive Education Press in 2016.

The year 2015 has been one of financial difficulties, closure and change for all those involved in Conductive Education, resulting in little in the way of new developments. The main item of news has been the appointment of a new rector at the Andras Peto College, Andrea Zsebe

She has announced hope of new partnerships in CE and plans for a masterate.

I wonder what 2016 will bring!

 I wish a Happy New Year to you all.

Military pumps up China's influence, Pentagon says

Story Highlights

• Beijing modernizing force, strategy, according to report to Congress
• Development "will increase Beijing's options for military coercion," report says
• Army gaining capability to fight high-tech adversaries
• Successful missile tests of particular concern, Pentagon says

(CNN) -- China's modernizing military will make it a more muscular player in world events, a U.S. Defense Department report says.

China's developing capabilities "will increase Beijing's options for military coercion to press diplomatic advantage, advance interests or resolve disputes," the Pentagon says in its annual report to Congress on China.

The Pentagon says that Beijing remains preoccupied with military contingencies in the Taiwan Strait -- but adds that the Chinese military is also improving its ability to win possible conflicts over resources or territory. (Watch how China has become a modern, high-tech adversary Video)

To that end, the report says, the Chinese army is transforming itself from a force designed to fight wars of attrition on its own territory to one capable of winning short but intense campaigns against high-tech adversaries.

It says China's military expansion is in part designed to protect its access to raw materials around the world, especially coal and oil supplies. At present, the report says, "China can neither protect its foreign energy supplies, nor the routes on which they travel."

The report notes key developments such as China's testing of an antisatellite missile in January and the greater accuracy and range of its missile forces, including intercontinental ballistic missiles.

"New air- and ground-launched cruise missiles that could perform nuclear missions will similarly improve the survivability and flexibility of China's nuclear forces," it adds.

It also says that China continues to modernize its Navy with better air-defense systems and new submarines, while its offensive air power has been improved with the acquisition of Su-30 strike aircraft and F-10 fighters.

Military spending continues to grow more quickly than the expansion of the economy, with Beijing announcing an increase of nearly 18 percent in its defense budget in March.

Looking at the situation with Taiwan, the report says the balance of forces continues to shift in the mainland's favor, with military exercises and deployments contributing to an atmosphere of intimidation. The report adds that tension could also increase as Taiwan prepares for its next presidential election, planned for March 2008.

Despite the pace of modernization, the report says, the People's Liberation Army remains untested in modern warfare and most of China's leaders lack military experience.

That gives rise to a greater potential for miscalculations, according to the report, which "would be equally catastrophic whether based on advice from operationally inexperienced commanders or from 'scientific' combat models."

The Pentagon says China's military is evolving into a nimble quick-reaction force.

Do you think China's military growth should worry the United States?

Luxor Museum Historical Information

Recently built, this Museum displays countless inter – esting finds relating to the history of ancient Thebes.
The most interesting piece is Talatat’s wall, a recomposition of an 18-meter well from the temple of Akhen-Aton in Karnak and destroyed by its success- sors; the 283 blocks forming it were found in the filling of the ninth pylon of the temple of Amon in Karnak. The wall, formed by hundreds of small scenes, shows work in the fields and craftsmen at work, not to men- tion Pharaoh and Queen Nefertiti worshipping the Sun.
It is worth mentioning the elegant head of Hathor in the form of a cow in gilt wood and from Thutankamun’s tomb; a large sandstone head with the unmistakable features of Akhen-Aton and a stone statue of Thot-Mosis I holding the ankh in his hands.
Visiting time: the museum works tow shifts:
Summar: from 9:00 am to 1:00 PM and from 5:00pm to 10:00 PM.
