NSW Bans Unvaccinated From Going Outside

Brad Hazzard is the real hazard in NSW

Reposted from

NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard has signed off on a public health order which appears to ban people who have not had two doses of a so-called “Covid vaccine” from going outside under specific circumstances.

The order is titled Public Health (COVID-19 Additional Restrictions for Delta Outbreak) Order (No 2) Amendment (No 7) Order 2021 and falls under the Public Health Act 2010.

Dated and signed by Hazzard on September 10, 2021, it is a repeal/update of the Public Health (COVID-19 Additional Restrictions for Delta Outbreak) Order (No 2) 2021, dated August 20, 2021.

It contains many silly clauses which should frankly be laughed out of court. Similar to legislation recently passed in South Australia, it goes into great detail regarding singing and dancing in public places.

The ‘Delta Strain’ is the COVID vaxx, says Whistleblower

Funeral Director John O’Looney (in the UK) tells his story to Max Igan (in Australia).

John exposes the deliberate murder of thousands of people under the guise of a COVID pandemic and the organised coverup. He also names the COVID vaccines as the cause of the so-called Delta variant. It is all the adverse vaccine reactions.

There was no pandemic in 2020 but now in 2021 there is a plandemic of those who are dying and suffering from the death shots. The funeral director saw a rapid increase in deaths as soon as the death shots were rolled out in the UK.

World Health Organization European Advisory Group of Experts in Immunization former Vice President Professor Christian Perronne yesterday said that all vaccinated people must quarantine over the winter months or risk serious illness.

Perronne specializes in tropical pathologies and emerging infectious diseases. He was Chairman of the Specialized Committee on Communicable Diseases of the High Council of Public Health.

Confirming the rapidly deteriorating situation in Israel and the UK, the infectious disease expert stated: “Vaccinated people should be put in quarantine, and should be isolated from the society.”

Official Office for National Statistics data has inadvertently revealed that 30,305 people have died within twenty-one days of having a Covid-19 vaccine in England during the first 6 months of 2021.

Dozens of freedom of information requests have been made to Public Health England (PHE) over the past few months requesting to know how many people have died within 28 days of having a Covid-19 vaccine, but each and every time PHE have claimed they do “not hold the information requested”.

How Are Forced Covid Vaccinations Different From The Mark Of The Beast? They Aren’t!

All lovers of liberty should be against mandatory vaccinations. They are against the principles laid out in the Nuremberg Code (1947) which states:

The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential. This means that the person involved should have legal capacity to give consent; should be so situated as to be able to exercise free power of choice, without the intervention of any element of force, fraud, deceit, duress, overreaching, or other ulterior form of constraint or coercion; and should have sufficient knowledge and comprehension of the elements of the subject matter involved as to enable him to make an understanding and enlightened decision.

The Global Campaign to Thwart God’s Design for Human Sexuality

Watch on, on YouTube or on my Bitchute channel.

Never before in human history has there been such a coordinated campaign to convince humans to dishonor the design of their bodies. Since the onset of the Sexual Revolution in the 1960s, there has been a concerted effort to thwart the normal functioning of biology.  It seems no coincidence that the era of “free love” was birthed around the same time that hormonal contraceptives were introduced, promising predictable prevention of unwanted births.

Hippies were told to “enjoy” free love, to throw off the marital inhibitions of their parents.  But to do so, to copulate without constraint, necessarily resulted in certain consequences:  did anyone really want to bring a child into the world with that guy or gal they just met yesterday?  Alas!  What to do?  For some, the “pill” became the fuel for the engine of sexual promiscuity, promising sexual pleasure unhinged from sexual responsibilities, an unprecedented upheaval in the ordering of human relations.

The advent of hormonal contraception was initially presented as a means for married couples to space the birth of their children. But in short order, laws prohibiting the sale of such contraceptive medication to the unmarried were ruled “unconstitutional”.  Over time, sex outside the bounds of marriage became more and more common, as sex came to be seen merely as a recreational activity, that deserved, in an enlightened world, to be detached from cumbersome, lifelong commitments.

Humility Optional?

If you look around Christianity you will find humility is a fairly common thread, at least in theory.  Humility is in the DNA of salvation, for we cannot be saved unless we humble ourselves before God’s loving provision in Jesus’ death on the cross.  Humility is a staple ingredient in spiritual growth, for we cannot stand proud and still find the growth that is needed in the spiritual life.  Humility is a requirement in leadership, for we cannot successfully replace the servant leader model so central to Christian ministry.

And yet this thread which weaves through all theoretical Christianity is often more sparse in the real Christianity we observe.  There are always gospel presentations that appeal to self-interest and doing what is best for yourself.  There seems to be a never-ending stream of spiritual growth models that focus on our success oriented efforts to sort out our weaknesses and try harder to be good.  And for every humble leader in the church, we tend to find another that reeks of arrogance and pride.

It is clear that humility is woven through the fabric of our faith, but there is also a strong tendency toward pride that saturates our fallen flesh and inclines us to find ways around humility in the Christian life.

Is humility optional?

Humility is not just a preference.  It would be possible to view humility as a divine preference, one item on God’s wishlist for his people.  I like potatoes, but if someone in my family wants to cook a meal for me, they know that they can cook a meal without potatoes and I will still enjoy it.  Potatoes are a preference, but not really a requirement.  Is this how God feels about humility?  Is it a nice touch when he sees it, but not really a problem if it happens to be omitted?  No, humility is not just a preference.

Humility is not an arbitrary demand.  It would be possible to view humility as something God requires, one item on a harsh list of demands for his people.  If I were a tyrant in my home, then I could make a list of demands on my family members.  They might be able to satisfy my demands in some respects, but they might recognize that they could never do everything on my impossible list.  They might hope that I would not pay attention to the missed demands if enough of the others were satisfied.  Is this how it is with God?  No, humility is not an arbitrary demand.

Humility is not a contrast.  It would be possible to view humility as something God requires because it is the complement to his personality.  Again, if I insisted on being the focus of all attention in my home, then I might require humility of everyone else so that nobody else would ever threaten the spotlight in which I insisted that I live.  Is this how it is with God?  No, humility is not a contrast to God’s character.

Humility is not just a preference, an arbitrary demand, nor a contrasting quality to God.  Humility is in the DNA of Christianity because it is a distinctive feature of God’s character.  We were created in God’s image, made for profoundly other-centered relationship, but when we fell into sin something profoundly corrupt perverted our core inclinations.  As fallen humans we are turned in on ourselves, we are proud.  We believe that we don’t need God or other people and we default to trying to be independent in any way that we can.  The pull of that fallen tendency continues to exert force on every one of us.

Yes, Jesus entered our world and rocked our world with a profound contrast – willingly humbling himself not only to wash feet, but even to die a humiliating death in our place.  God is nothing like the pride in you, or me.  So we are invited to humble ourselves before the cross and find true life, not by our own achievement, but by the gift of God’s grace.  We know that, and yet even as Christians, we still feel the tug toward prideful independence.  Subconsciously we will drift toward self-effort and self-elevation.  Our view of spiritual growth will tend to have the aroma of arrogance, and if we are not careful, then our efforts at Christian leadership will often be tainted by the stench of self-promotion.

Humility is not just something God prefers, as I like potatoes, but am fine without them.  Humility is not an arbitrary demand we can hope to bypass.  Nor is humility a contrast to God’s supposed demand for the spotlight.  Humility makes sense in every corner of our Christianity.  It makes sense because it is a key aspect of God’s character.  It makes sense because he has rescued us, and is rescuing us, from our fall into pride.  Humility is always a heaven-ward step.

What role does humility play in your spiritual life?  What role does it play in your ministry and leadership?  And I don’t just mean in theory.  I mean in actual practice…

3 thoughts on “Humility Optional?

  1. Thank you for this, Peter. Another helpful artcle. (May I copy it for limited distribution to friends when suitable, with due acknowledgement of its source, please?)

    * We want to appear humble to other Christians, but how much do we want the real thing, which is so contrary to our natural minds? God wants it for us infinitely more than we want it. I have recenty come accross Thomas Boston’s (1676-1732) ‘The Crook in the Lot’. Its depth far exceeds its length and is worth a read and a re-read… It explores how God uses providential dealings (what we would label ‘bad things’ ) to accomplish his design in the souls who are visited by Grace.

Price:from $0

Bike for Bibles (B4B) is a series of annual events that bring cycling enthusiasts of all ages and walks of life together.

This year’s B4B initiative is raising funds to support at-risk youth across Canada. This new CBS national program aims at partnering with local faith-based youth centres, community programs and inner-city missions to provide needed Bible-based resources and programs to support the spiritual and mental wellness of young people (ages 12-17) in need of hope and healing.

Overseers of various youth programs have been quoted as saying that spiritual support is a vital need right now for their faith-based youth centres to aid in the discipling efforts of at-risk young people. In some markets there are reports of upwards of 60% homelessness rates among young people, many of whom have removed themselves from abusive home situations since the start of the COVID crisis. The situation is dire.

Please consider partnering with us and supporting young people in need.

About this ride

Date: August 28th
Location: Lee Park, North Bay

This is a leisurely 26 km ride for all ages along Kate Pace Way trail, with a break at Centennial Park in Callander, ON. The ride will end with a free BBQ at Lee Park.

Roasted Dandelion Detox Tea

The time has finally come; the corn is gone and our fields are our own! We almost jumped for joy when the farmer who leased our land for the season showed up at our door one morning, announcing that he would be harvesting his crop. A few short hours later the tractor noise subsided and we emerged from our house, blinking in the still settling dust, and peered out at our new view. Suddenly we could see the rolling contours of our property, the county road that borders us at the front, and the bright, autumn-hued woods behind. Papery corn husks swirled in the breeze and rattled across the lawn. harvestingcorn-debrisview through field.jpg

What to do now that the corn is gone? The season is too far advanced to plant winter rye and clover cover crops this fall. If we planted now, daytime temperatures would be warm enough to encourage germination, but the first hard frost would kill the tender new shoots before they had time to become established in the soil.

An alternative option we’re learning about is a technique called frost-seeding, which involves broadcasting seeds onto the soil surface in late winter. The seeds are pulled deeper into the ground by the freezing and thawing action of the soil, where they wait until early spring temperatures are warm enough for germination. It’s an easy solution that doesn’t involve any tilling. That’s great for us, because we’d like to avoid tilling as much as possible to reduce erosion and give soil microbes a chance to become re-established.

There’s just one problem: a thick layer of corn stalks and husks covers our entire field, dense enough to stop any seeds we broadcast from ever reaching the soil. We could buy a disc attachment for our tractor and till the corn debris under, but we worry that tilling this fall would leave the soil bare and exposed all winter long, exposed to the elements and vulnerable to erosion. The corn debris may be in the way of seeding cover crops, but it’s actually acting as mulch for the time being. It’s definitely a puzzle (and as always we welcome your suggestions)!

Fall is a time of planning ahead, by preserving food for the winter and planting for the coming year. We were excited when the mailman arrived with our box of garlic cloves from Seed Savers Exchange!  Some say to plant garlic just after the first light frost, but I’m told garlic cloves can grow larger if they are planted a few weeks before the first frost. Our garlic planting, like most of our projects, happened precisely when we got around to it. We put about 150 cloves in the ground, hopefully plenty for us to enjoy in the coming year.

A couple of months ago we prepared two large garden areas by covering them with plastic tarps to kill weeds. We created our garlic bed along the far edge, peeling back a section of the tarp to expose the soil. After two months under the tarp the grass was dead, but to our surprise the dandelions still had pale green, straggly leaves.

We knew we needed to carefully dig each dandelion out by hand to prevent the roots from resprouting. As luck would have it, dandelions are actually very useful, not to mention totally free!  Dandelions were introduced by early settlers as an edible green and a medicinal plant. If you haven’t tried dandelion leaves in the early spring, you’re missing out. They’re a highly nutritious and tender addition to salads in the early spring before they turn bitter.

Dandelion root tea has a sweet, nutty flavor similar to chicory (the special ingredient in New Orleans-style coffee). Like chicory, dandelion root owes its sweet flavor to the presence of the dietary fiber inulin. Inulin has a number of health benefits such as improving digestion and supporting healthy intestinal flora. Conveniently, inulin dissolves in hot water, making tea an ideal option. Dandelion root is a common ingredient in detox tea blends because it helps support liver function (as someone who enjoys good wine and good bourbon, I’m sure my liver would be happy for a little extra support).

Dandelion root is best harvested in the late fall or early winter, when most of the sugars have been sent to the root instead of allocated to leaf growth. Look for the spear-shaped, toothed (but not hairy) leaves in your lawn and dig the roots with a hand trowel. Of course, if you’re harvesting from a lawn, make sure you choose an area free from any herbicide or pesticide use. dandelion-root

After digging all the dandelions out of our garlic bed we had a small bushel basket full of roots. basket-of-roots

The hardest part is getting the roots clean. I soaked mine in a large bowl of water and used a potato brush to scrub the grit from the roots, changing the water whenever it got really cloudy. Let’s be honest, it’s impossible to get every grain of dirt off the roots, but we’re aiming not to have mud in our tea.

The roots are pretty tough, so choose a big knife to chop them into 1/4 inch chunks.

Lay the roots on a baking sheet in a single layer. My small bushel basket full of dandelion roots yielded two full baking sheets once the roots were chopped. pan-o-roots

Place in a 250 degree Fahrenheit oven. Stirring every 15 minutes, roast for 2 to 2 1/2 hours until the roots darken to the color of coffee beans. If you’re using multiple baking sheets, rotate which one is on top every time you stir.

Some ovens have a vent for steam to escape, but if your oven starts getting steamy inside keep the oven door slightly cracked to allow humidity to escape. Watch carefully at the end to make sure they don’t burn!

I started out roasting mine for 1 1/2 hours and tried making some tea. I decided there wasn’t enough of a roasted flavor for my liking, so I roasted them for an additional half hour. I think the extra time really improved the flavor.

The dandelion roots shrink considerably as they roast! I ended up with one full baking sheet of roasted dandelion roots, enough to fill a pint jar.

To make tea, steep the roasted dandelion root pieces for 8-10 minutes in hot water, using about 1 heaping teaspoon per cup of water. Another option  is to grind it in a coffee grinder and brew it as you would coffee.

My favorite way to enjoy dandelion root tea: mix 2 parts dandelion root chunks and 1 part cacao nibs, grind and brew in a coffee press.

This tea is so nutty and flavorful! I’m super excited to be making my own tea at home. One of our goals in the coming year is to buy less at the grocery store, and coffee and tea makes up an expensive part of our grocery bill. Of course it won’t totally replace coffee because dandelion root doesn’t contain caffeine, but there are plenty of times when a flavorful, non-caffeinated beverage fits the bill.

Stocks bounce back on Wall Street as tech bloodletting halts

NEW YORK (AP) — Wall Street snapped back Wednesday from its recent tumble, as the bloodletting for big technology stocks came to at least a temporary halt. Apple, Amazon, and other tech companies that suddenly lost their momentum late last week on worries their stocks soared too high all regained some ground. They helped lift the S&P 500 index 2%, its best day in three months. The Nasdaq, which includes many tech stocks, rose 2.7%. It’s coming off a 10% drop over the previous three days. Treasury yields ticked higher, and crude oil prices clawed back some of their slide from the prior day.

No virus aid before election? Pessimism before Senate vote

WASHINGTON (AP) — Top Republicans senators are making pessimistic predictions about securing a bipartisan coronavirus relief package before the November election. Instead, they’re signaling they’ll just try to pass legislation that would avoid a federal shutdown as lawmakers head home to campaign. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says he’s “optimistic” Republicans will deliver a strong vote Thursday for the GOP’s $500 billion slimmed-down rescue package. But he’s not saying whether his majority will be fully on board.

Luxury goods giant LVMH cancels $14.5B deal for Tiffany

NEW YORK (AP) — Luxury goods giant LVMH is ending its months-long pursuit of jewelry retailer Tiffany & Co. The Paris-based conglomerate said that the French government requested a delay, saying it needs more time to assess the impact of proposed U.S. tariffs. Tiffany replied that it’s suing to enforce the merger agreement, which was signed last November. The deal’s value had come under strain also because of the pandemic, which has pushed Tiffany’s share price below the offer value and caused a global slump in retail sales.

U.S. job postings rise to 6.6 million in July

WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. employers advertised more jobs but hired fewer workers in July, sending mixed signals about the job market in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak. The Labor Department said Wednesday that the number of U.S. job postings on the last day of July rose to 6.6 million from 6 million at the end of June. A year earlier, employers posted 7.2 million job openings. Hiring dropped to 5.8 million from 7 million in June. The number of Americans laid off or discharged fell to 1.6 million from nearly 2 million in June.

Companies pledge to add at least 1 Black director to board

NEW YORK (AP) — More than a dozen companies, including Zillow and M.M.LaFleur, are promising to add at least one Black director to their boards within the next year, as businesses across America slowly get their leadership to look more like the customers they serve. The companies all made the pledge as part of the launch of an initiative by The Board Challenge, which is pushing to get more diversity into boardrooms. The Board Challenge’s co-founders will check in with company after six months and again at 12 months to monitor their progress, while also helping them to find candidates.

Mall owners close to buying JC Penney out of bankruptcy

NEW YORK (AP) — Mall owners Simon Property Group and Brookfield Property Partners are close to a deal to buy department store chain J.C. Penney out of bankruptcy and keep the chain running. Penney’s lawyer Josh Sussberg announced the tentative pact, which will save roughly 70,000 jobs, during a brief hearing in bankruptcy court Wednesday. Sussberg noted that a letter of intent including details of the pact will be filed with the bankruptcy court in the next day. The 118-year-old department store based in Plano, Texas, filed for bankruptcy protection in mid-May, one of the biggest retailers to do so since the pandemic temporarily shut down non-essential stores around the country.

What slowdown? Amazon seeks to hire 33,000 people

NEW YORK (AP) — Amazon is on a hiring spree. In the latest sign of how it’s prospering while others are faltering during the pandemic, Amazon said Wednesday it is seeking to bring aboard 33,000 people for corporate and tech roles in the next few months. It’s the most job openings it’s had at one time, and the company said the roles its trying to fill are separate from the typical increase in hiring it does for warehouse workers ahead of the holidays. To fill the jobs, Amazon said will hold an online career fair Sept. 16 to collect resumes and give people a chance talk to a recruiter.

Microsoft to launch new $500 Xbox console Nov. 10

REDMOND, Wash. (AP) — The holiday video game console battle is heating up. Microsoft says its Xbox Series X will cost $500 and debut Nov. 10, just ahead of the holidays. A stripped down version, Xbox Series S, will cost $300 and be available at the same time. Pre-orders begin Sept. 22. Rival Sony is expected to announce the pricing and launch date for its PlayStaton 5 shortly. There haven’t been new generations of video game consoles for several years. The most recent Xbox, Xbox One, was released in 2013, as was Sony’s PlayStation 4.

The S&P 500 rose 67.12, or 2%, to 3,398.96. The Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 439.58, or 1.6%, to 27,940.47. The Nasdaq composite advanced 293.87, or 2.7%, to 11,141.56. The Russell 2000 of smaller-company stocks gained 21.89 points, or 1.5%, to 1,526.48.

Louisiana opens early voting Friday in presidential election

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Louisiana’s early voting period for the Nov. 3 presidential and congressional election opens Friday, with a federal judge forcing the state to add a few extra days and longer hours because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Top of the ballot is the presidential contest between Republican incumbent Donald Trump and Democratic former Vice President Joe Biden. Louisiana’s eight electoral votes are up for grabs.

Beyond the main contenders, 11 others are in the competition, including libertarian and socialist candidates and hip hop musician Kanye West running on the “Birthday Party” ticket. Trump won Louisiana easily in 2016.

After the attention-grabbing presidential race, Louisiana also has a U.S. Senate seat on the ballot, six U.S. House seats, a statewide referendum on sports gambling, seven constitutional amendments, judges’ jobs and other municipal elections.

In any race where no candidate tops 50% of the vote, the leading two vote-getters will face each other in a Dec. 5 runoff. That doesn’t apply for the presidential contest.

A federal judge required Secretary of State Kyle Ardoin to expand Louisiana’s early voting period for the election from the usual seven days to 10 days and add an hour of voting time each day because of the coronavirus outbreak. The judge also ordered an expansion of mail-in voting.

Republican U.S. Sen. Bill Cassidy, a doctor from Baton Rouge, faces 14 opponents seeking to keep him from a second term. But Cassidy has the benefits of incumbency, the backing of Trump and millions more in campaign cash than any of his challengers. His advertising has dwarfed that of any of his competitors.

His chief Democratic opponent is Shreveport Mayor Adrian Perkins, who announced his campaign in July, giving him a short time to raise funds and introduce himself statewide. Still, Democrats were excited about the mayor with a West Point education, Harvard law degree and military service in Iraq and Afghanistan, and he won the backing of former President Barack Obama.

Cassidy remains favored to win reelection in the deep red state, but the dynamics of the race could change if he’s forced into a December runoff.

Five of Louisiana’s incumbent U.S. House members are running for re-election: Republican Reps. Steve Scalise in the 1st District, Clay Higgins in the 3rd District, Mike Johnson in the 4th District and Garret Graves in the 6th District and Democratic Rep. Cedric Richmond in the 2nd District. All have multiple challengers on the ballot, though few have well-funded opponents.

The most heavily contested congressional race is for Louisiana’s 5th District seat representing northeast and central Louisiana. Republican incumbent Ralph Abraham decided against running for reelection after losing the governor’s race last year. Nine candidates are vying for the position.

Seven constitutional amendments are on the ballot, including one to declare that abortion rights are not protected by the Louisiana Constitution. The nonpartisan Public Affairs Research Council of Louisiana has released its yearly online guide to the proposals.

In addition, voters will decide whether to legalize sports betting in individual parishes. The wagering only will be allowed in parishes where a majority of those casting ballots in the election agree to it.

Voters in New Orleans and in northeast Louisiana will choose new associate Supreme Court justices, while voters across north Louisiana and in the southeastern end of the state will choose their utility regulators who sit on the five-member Public Service Commission.

District and appeals court judgeships and district attorney jobs around the state also are on the ballot, along with mayors races and other local elected positions and propositions.

Early voting runs daily from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. through Oct. 27, except on Sundays, at parish registrar of voters’ offices and other locations. The secretary of state’s office has a complete list of early voting sites online or through its GeauxVote mobile app.

Some locations may have changed because of the coronavirus pandemic and in response to the damage of Hurricanes Laura and Delta in southwestern Louisiana.

Eye-Fi Mobi 32 GB WiFi SD Card

February 6, 2015 Categories Gear

k2-_b925364e-96bf-405d-a2dd-de7354d9c532.v2I recently purchased the ultra-fast class 10 Eye-Fi Mobi 32 GB SD card with built-in WiFi. The Eye-Fi card allows you to take a photo with your regular camera (or multiple cameras) and have all your pictures magically appear on your phone, computer, or whatever other device they make an app for. You can also subscribe to their cloud service and instantly stream/share your photos on the net. The best part? You do NOT need to subscribe to their cloud service if all you want to do is transfer photos to your phone or other device! They even support a wide range of cameras (be sure to check that your camera is on the list before buying).

A picture of my dog, Mugsy. Taken with my camera and appeared on my phone a couple seconds later.

Setup is extremely easy! Simply remove the card from the packaging along with the credit card sized plastic card which contains the activation code. You can download their app (available for both Android and Apple) and enter the activation code that came with the card. That’s it! Now all you have to do is take a picture and watch as it magically appears on your device (pretty sure millions of tiny, invisible elves are carrying the bits of data over for you. Trust me, I’m an expert).

I am extremely impressed by how awesome the Eye-Fi card is and their app that goes with it is very easy to use. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone.

Pesach Prayers Explained for Kids

On the first 2 days of Pesach we say the full Hallel during morning services at the synagogue. ‘Hallel’ means ‘praise’ and is the name for a group of psalms we sing to praise God. Although some of these psalms are said quietly, several are sung out loudly and joyously, such as B’tzeit Yisra’el (‘When Israel went out from Egypt’).

During chol ha’mo’ed (the middle days of Pesach) we say only ‘half Hallel’ (a shortened version of the Hallel service with fewer songs) because these days are not as joyous as the first two days.

On the 7th and 8th day of Pesach we still say only half Hallel, but for a different reason. Normally, we would say the full Hallel on these days as the final two days of Pesach are yom tov and joyous occasions. We are happy on these days and remember how we escaped slavery in Egypt and thank God for it, but we also temper our happiness because these days are also the anniversary of when the Egyptians drowned in the Red Sea. Although they were treating the Jews badly, they were also God’s creatures and it is sad whenever any of God’s creatures dies. So we temper (moderate) our happiness on these days and sing only half Hallel instead of the full Hallel.

(Hallel is also said on a number of other occasions during the year, such as Rosh Chodesh – the new month – and the other pilgrim festivals of Shavuot and Sukkot).

Pesach falls at the beginning of spring in Israel, just after the rainy season. Instead of asking for rain, we now ask in our prayers for tal, ‘dew’, that it will come and provide moisture for the land of Israel and all its crops. On the 2nd day of Pesach we say this special prayer, and afterwards we add a special line to our daily prayers asking for dew.

During Ma’ariv Chol haMo’ed we say a weekday Amidah. The blessing “Baruch Aleinu” (“Bless this year for us”) is replaced by “Vaten brachah” (“And grant a blessing”).

Yizkor (the prayer to remember the dead) is said on the seventh day of Pesach.

We say Havdalah at the end of the first and last days of Pesach, as well as at the end of the 7th and 8th days. If the day is a Shabbat, then we say the usual Havdalah. If it is a weekday, we leave out the first paragraph as well as the blessings over spices and the candle.

The Torah reading changes for each day of Pesach. On each of the days of Pesach, two Torah scrolls are taken out.

Day One

Five people are called up to read Exodus 12: 21-51, which explains how the Jews in Egypt were commanded to put a lamb aside that would be sacrificed. The Haftarah on this day is taken from Joshua (Chapter 5), which explains how the Jews celebrated their first Pesach when they arrived in Israel.

Day Two

Five people are again called up, this day to read Leviticus 22:26- 23:44, which describes all the festivals of the year.

Day Three

The reading for this day is taken from Exodus 13.

Day Four

The reading for this day is taken from Exodus 22:25.

Day Five

The reading for this day is taken from Exodus 34:1, except if it is Shabbat. If it is Shabbat, then the reading only begins from Exodus 33:12 (because there are seven call-ups to the Torah instead of four).

Day Six

The reading for this day is from Numbers 9.

Day Seven

Five people are called up for this reading of Exodus 13:17 – 14:26.

Day Eight

The reading for this day is taken from Deuteronomy 15:19 – 16:17. This day is observed only outside Israel; in Israel, Pesach finishes at the end of the 7th day.

The Megillah of Shir Hashirim (Song of Songs) is read in the synagogue on Shabbat Chol haMo’ed, before the reading of the Torah.

B’tzeit Yisra’el is one of the psalms sung as part of the full Hallel.

Home away from home in Paris

I was so blown away (un coup de coeur) by my recent stay in a 39-room boutique hotel in Paris that I have to show you around.

How to Nail the Minimal Style

I can’t recall where I have heard this statement, but let me share it with you: “Dressing up in a minimal style is way more difficult than with colors, prints or extravagant patterns”.

Does everyone need supplements? Not everyone needs supplements. However, just about everyone can benefit from supplements. You may have a specific issue you want to address, like fatigue or trouble focusing for more than a few minutes at a time. Or you may feel great, in which case supplements are like oiling the parts of a well-running machine so that it keeps performing at its best.

Why can’t I get all the vitamins and minerals I need from my food? That would be great, wouldn’t it? Unfortunately, most of the soil in which our food crops are grown has been depleted through extensive use. Hundreds of years ago, farmers could let fields “rest” for a season while the soil renewed itself with the help of rain, earthworms and microbial activity. Now with a more populated planet and higher food demands, fields are kept in production and the soil becomes depleted.

How do I know which supplements to take? If you have no specific health issues, start with a basic multivitamin or even with just vitamin C, proven to help prevent and shorten the duration of colds and flu-related illnesses.

If I take supplements, can I worry less about my diet? Supplements are never a substitute for a good, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. However, eating lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, drinking plenty of water, exercising, getting enough sleep AND fine-tuning your health with supplements can be a powerful combination.

Are supplements safe to take? Although supplements are generally safe, it’s always best to check with your doctor before starting on a program of supplements. Some supplements may not be appropriate for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, for example. And the most important thing is to observe how you feel while taking a particular supplement. Listen to the feedback your body will give you!

What if I’m pregnant? If you’re pregnant, ask your doctor or midwife about a good prenatal supplement. You may need extra iron or folic acid during your pregnancy, and prenatal vitamins are formulated with both you and the baby in mind.

Can supplements make me look better? Many people swear by treating their skin from the inside out. Popular beauty-boosting supplements are hyaluronic acid, collagen peptides, vitamin C, omega-3s and antioxidants. When combined with exercise, a healthy diet, enough sleep and use of sunscreen, these supplements can be a powerful weapon in your beauty arsenal.

Can supplements keep me from getting COVID-19? While no supplement has proven effective in preventing or curing COVID-19, a healthy body is more resistant to illnesses. Get enough sleep and exercise, drink plenty of water, eat the healthiest diet you can and find the right supplements for your body! Many people love immune-boosting supplements such as turmeric, ginger and of course, vitamin C.

Can supplements help me with stress? Many people swear by plant-based calming supplements such as chamomile, rhodiola rosea or ashwagandha. Melatonin is also popular for enhancing sleep. We believe that a healthy body is naturally more resistant to the stresses of everyday life, but you may need extra help from a supplement during a particularly stressful period.

How can I find the right supplement for me? Read, take advantage of the information we offer here, ask your friends and family what has worked for them, and ask your doctor! Then finally, choose a supplement according to your needs and observe how you feel while taking it. And lastly, congratulate yourself for taking an important step towards a healthier you!

Now is a time of global stress. Whether we are isolating or on the front lines of the pandemic, anxiety is often in the driver's seat of our emotions. The worldwide rise in depression and distress has led the World Health Organization (WHO) to put out a special bulletin on mental health during the Covid-19 outbreak. Finding time for self-care can seem impossible when the demands of work and family compete for our attention. So many of us find ourselves longing for a a moment of calm inside the storm of news reports and new regulations. It's easy to lose focus on what matters when the safety of everything from schools to shopping trips is being thrown into question. These days we need every tool we can get our hands on in order to keep calm and carry on. That's where BLOCKHEAD Calm Mints come in.

At first glance, these little mints might not look like much. We have learned to be skeptical of big promises in small packages. Fresh breath with a side of serenity... what's the catch? So, okay, BLOCKHEAD Calm Mints may not be a direct path to nirvana, but they're not a gimmick either. That's because BLOCKHEAD has developed Calm Mints with both traditional wisdom and hard science. Let's take a look at the ingredients to get an idea of why these mints might just help you relax.

You may have never heard of 5-HTP, but your body actually makes it every day. This naturally occurring chemical is key to understanding why Calm Mints are so effective at improving your mental state. Medical News Today describes 5-HTP as a precursor to the neurotransmitter serotonin as well as the hormone melatonin. This means that your body actually makes these two mood managing chemicals out of 5-HTP. More 5-HTP in your body means more mood-boosting serotonin and sleep-enhancing melatonin in your brain. A 2018 study actually found that 5-HTP improved both length and quality of sleep in animals. Preliminary research also suggests that 5-HTP can help reduce hunger and assist in weight loss. There is even some evidence to suggest 5-HTP may help manage chronic pain. Science is still discovering all of the benefits of 5-HTP, but it is clearly essential for restoring balance in the body.

While we need 5-HTP to make feel-good chemicals like serotonin, we need L-Tryptophan to make 5-HTP. L-Tryptophan is an amino acid naturally found in high protein foods like fish, soy, and poultry. If you've ever felt particularly sleepy after a big turkey dinner, it was probably due to the L-Tryptophan! That's because this amino acid is instrumental in many metabolic processes surrounding sleep as well as mood. The scientific community has been aware of the importance of L-Tryptophan for a long time. Studies as early as 1972 showed impressive results using tryptophan to treat depression. A more recent study published in the journal Psychiatry Research found that L-tryptophan significantly reduced anxiety, panic symptoms, and number of panic attacks in panic disorder patients compared to placebo. The International Journal for Tryptophan Research notes that "an important feature of tryptophan treatment is that, unlike many other medications administered for sleep disorders, it does not limit cognitive performance or inhibit arousal from sleep." You won't be groggy or dumbed down by L-Tryptophan. The creators at BLOCKHEAD designed Calm Mints to improve your focus as well as soothe your stress.

L-Tryptophan supports your body in making it's own 5-HTP, but griffonia is packed with the stuff all on it's own. Native to the shrub savannah, this plant has been used extensively in traditional remedies throughout West Africa. While there have not been large-scale clinical studies of griffonia's benefits, the seeds of the plant contain up to 20% 5-ATP by weight according to the supplement library at It's no surprise that people report improved mood and sleep when taking griffonia!

Often called California Poppy, escolzia is indigenous to Mexico and the Southern United States. Traditional folk medicine has used escolzia for centuries for its calming properties. Like griffonia, however, minimal scientific studies have investigated the plant despite promising preliminary research. Scientists know that escolzia affects the pathways for chemicals like serotonin, dopamine, and GABA which all play a role in relaxation and mood. However the precise way the plant affects these pathways is not well understood, according to One study did show a significant reduction in anxiety when escolzia was given in combination with another plant, but it has not been studied on its own. Regardless of the benefits, California poppy is not an opiate and is regarded as safe. It seems likely that further scientific studies would confirm the belief of traditional healers that escolzia increases a sense of calm.

Magnolia bark has been used extensively in herbal medicine for a variety of conditions. It would take a book to discuss all of the benefits attributed to magnolia bark. Maybe that's because studies report that there are over 200 chemical compounds contained in the tree. According to Psychology Today, magnolia bark can treat a range of symptoms from poor sleep to anxiety and depression, and may even fight cancer! More than one study has shown magnolia to be protective against oxidative stress, which is related to chronic conditions like diabetes and Alzheimer's. This powerhouse plant rounds out the stress-busting blend in every Calm Mint.

With all of these potent ingredients, here's one that BLOCKHEAD left out: sugar. That means you can pop a mint at bedtime, or anytime really, with no worries about calories or jitters. Simply take one half an hour before you want to feel the calming effects. No product can erase all of our stresses in these uncertain times, but BLOCKHEAD Calm Mints can support you as we get through this together.

Today’s Writing

One of the tricks I use when writing is to scan the newspaper for catch phrases and/or idioms I can twist around for gags.

Today, went quicker than most (about a half hour for four gags), and I thought with the extra time I’d show you how it went:

I just sorta scribble down words and phrases as I find them, and then go back to the paper for more.  As I’m reading and scribbling, stuff ferments a little and ideas start coming:

  • "Job Security" is one I’ve done a lot with, so no surprise that there’s nothing there today.
  • "Sexual Tension" for some reason brought out the Sidney Harris is me.  I thought it would be funny to have sexual tension as part of some sort of complicated formula.  A little later I thought of the male and female symbols, and it all sort of fell together.
  • "Legal Maneuvers" brought the Heimlich maneuver to mind, and although it took a little to whittle down the caption, I think it worked out nicely.
  • "High Profile" wrote itself, and I have no idea why my sketch of a man in profile includes a ponytail.
  • "Track Record" was percolating for a bit with a man interviewing in track shoes, but it never really materialized.
  • "Boxed Wines" went nowhere fast.
  • "Hall Czar" came from a headline about a "Telecom Czar."  "War Czar" is abuzz right now, so I thought taking it down to a kid’s level would be a good way to poke some fun.  It ended up a little more political and topical than I like to get, but it is what it is.

Here are the gags rewritten for further marinating in the ol’ idea box:

The experiments must fit within a Cubesat, a 10 cm x 10 cm x 10 cm module. It’s an opportunity to use off-the-shelf technology to design projects kits that students can build and see them actually get into space. Imagine: Arduinos in space. (There has already been one Arduino sent into space.) […]

Tough it is tempting at times, I learned to fight the urges off.

I am currently working on a site with more detailed info about the payloads.
When it is finished I will post the link here and on the forums.
I hope to finish by the end of the week.

By: Ivan Galysh Thu, 23 Jul 2009 12:25:28 +0000 Your fired David. Quit bragging.

The website listed in the article is all the info that can be released for now. The website will be updated when I can get more info out. I’m busy with building more satellites.

We are proposing another student satellite so Arduino will be part of the development effort. With Arduino now supporting the Atmega1280 with four serial ports, Arduino may be used for flight software development on the flight computer also known as the Command/Telemetry Data Handler.

David (Shutter) is a pretty bright kid. He will either be a significant contributor to society or an evil genius.

Oh and I keep forgetting. This link to a cansat kit now uses Arduino for the software development. When I get a chance, I’ll work up a website with details plus schematics. Cansat is an educational tool for teaching basic satellite design and operations. Students assemble the kit, write the flight software, and launch it on a high power rocket. The cansat pops at peak altitude and floats down on a parachute. The time in the air simulates an orbital pass. Telemetry is transmitted during the flight.

By: Ivan Galysh Wed, 22 Jul 2009 21:03:30 +0000 The satellites will be deployed July 30 after the shuttle leaves the space station. For all the amateur radio folks, the satellites will transmit on 145.825 MHz. Pollux will transmit every 33 seconds while Castor every 30 seconds.

I work for stensat/stenlight currently. Being 17 I have a lot to learn.
I introduced stensat to arduino. When they opened up the project up to the school and herd we are using avr cores I asked if they herd of arduino.

Commentary: Are Texas schools buying Wall Street-style ‘ratings’ snake oil?

Texas on the Potomac is pleased to present guest commentary from across the political spectrum. Today, we share with you a column by Jason Stanford, a Democratic consultant in Austin. It is the latest in his series of columns on school test scandals around the nation — and their implications for Texas schools.

Jason Stanford

Jason Stanford

Just like AAA ratings on mortgage-backed securities led to Wall Street’s 2008 disaster, a rash of accountability scandals might be precursors to a similar crash for our public schools. After years of promises that test-driven accountability would yield miracles, scandals with school ratings are popping up all over the country. Unless we hold reformers as accountable as they hold students, these scandals could bring down our public school system the same way Wall Street almost innovated our economy back into the Stone Age.

In New York, the switch to a new rating system resulted in 70% of city students failing the new tests, earning the kind of tabloid headlines usually reserved for a politician’s sex scandal or a natural disaster. “Rotten to the score,” blared the New York Daily News.

Fans of corporate education reform hail this as the tough love needed to force even tougher changes to the public school system despite the fact that privately owned charter schools fared just as badly.

But Diane Ravitch, author of the upcoming Reign of Error: The Hoax of the Privatization Movement and the Danger to America’s Public Schools, calls the new scores “invalid” because officials set the kids up to fail.

“The state didn’t just ‘raise the bar.’ It aligned its passing mark to a completely inappropriate model,” Ravitch wrote.

She pointed out that getting a “proficient” rating on the new test was the equivalent of acing the National Assessment for Educational Progress, something only 3%-8% of students achieve nationally. She worries that New York’s high failure rate will be used as a pretext to further privatize public schools.

A completely different school rating scandal recently cost Tony Bennett his job as Florida’s top school official because of something he did on his last job as Indiana’s Superintendent of Public Instruction. Bennett imposed an A-F rating system on schools, a favorite of school reformers because it seems like it makes sense, until you think about it.

The problem arose when a charter school owned by one of the top donors to Republican Gov. Mike Pence tanked on the algebra test and earned a C rating. “This will be a HUGE problem for us,” Bennett wrote in an email to Pence’s top aide.

The problem wasn’t just embarrassing to the donor. Even worse for Bennett was that he’d been citing the privately owned charter as a success story.

Bennett changed the formula to turn the donor’s junk bond charter school into a AAA-rated example of education reform, showing how vulnerable school ratings are to political interference. An investigative story by AP reporter Tom LoBianco revealed the scam, forcing Bennett’s resignation.

The shock is that anyone was held accountable. Ratings systems can cause schools to close and students to be held back, but until Bennett no politician was ever held accountable for fudging the numbers. In Louisiana, for example, Education Superintendent John White raised school ratings by 7.5 percent—or half a letter grade—by changing that state’s accountability formula. Passing rates more than doubled, and White claimed success.

When called before a state legislative committee, White denied that changing the formula had created illusory success. The fault lay with the previous formula, saying, “The new formula will create a more right-sized measurement.” White’s still on the job.

And Michelle Rhee, the celebrated “No Excuses” superintendent of the DC schools, is still considered a national leader on education reform despite evidence that DC scores rose on her watch because of organized cheating.

Her success is a fraud that no one seems to want to expose. The District of Columbia and Congress seem unwilling to investigate, much less indict, this high-profile target. But then again, we didn’t throw any Wall Street bankers into prison, either.

“It’s a system that we all grew up with. We all got grades A, B, C, D, F in school, and the public will understand, too,” Michael Williams, the education chief in Texas, the latest state to adopt the A-F school ratings.

If scandals in Indiana, Louisiana, New York, and Washington, DC—and Wall Street—are any guide, the public won’t know what hit ‘em. We cannot expect to run our schools the same way we run our speculation industry and expect anything other than an education recession.

Humber humbled again as Astros bow to Bosox

BOSTON — This was Astros righthander Philip Humber after Fenway Park’s buzz had finally faded and the Red Sox had attached seven runs, 10 hits and another loss to his name: slumped on a chair in front of his locker, staring at the floor, coldly thumbing the face of his phone while mumbling teammates came and went.

This isn’t where the 30-year-old Humber wanted to be five starts into his hoped-for season of renewal with the Astros. Lost, questioning and unsure. Frustrated and beaten, Humber fell to 0-5 with a 7.99 ERA after Boston battered him for a 4-0 first-inning lead on the way to a 7-2 victory.

Before the former Rice standout spoke postgame with the media, Astros manager Bo Porter said he’d have to watch a video replay of the outing before more could be said about where exactly his pitcher is at 22 games into the 2013 season.

Once Humber spoke, it was clear the Astros’ No. 3 starter is temporarily somewhere between the meandering years of his early career and last season’s 6.44 ERA, which eventually washed away his April 21, 2012, perfect game with the Chicago White Sox.

“It’s just pathetic,” said Humber, whose five defeats lead MLB and five-game losing streak is the longest of his career. “I didn’t give our team a chance to win obviously the time before and definitely not this time. I’m definitely not doing my job right now.”

The time before is what’s still messing with Humber and why the No. 3 overall pick of the 2004 amateur draft was clearly shaken inside the Astros’ cramped clubhouse.

Last Saturday, Humber was pounded for eight hits and eight runs in one-third of an inning. Thursday, the righty allowed a season-high 10 hits, seven runs and three walks in 42⁄3 innings.

An eight-year veteran who spent his initial three starts this season showing promise and suffering from a lack of run support has spent his last two simply trying to survive on the mound.

The total damage in six days: 18 hits and 15 runs in five innings.

After his one-third-inning fall to Cleveland, Humber believed he’d thrown better than his numbers showed. In turn, he credited the Indians with simply connecting on good pitches.

After his second consecutive appearance of allowing at least seven runs in fewer than five frames, Humber was unable to make any connections.

“I don’t know. It was just a lot of pitches in the middle of the plate with not much on them,” he said.

What will it take to recapture his early-season promise and avoid his 2012 fall?

“I don’t know. I really don’t,” Humber said.

The AL East-leading Red Sox left Humber little leeway. Boston’s David Ortiz was everything an American League designated hitter is supposed to be, pounding out three hits in four at-bats — including a third-inning home run to deep center field — while collecting three runs and two RBIs. Ortiz is 11-for-20 with five RBIs since being activated, and Fenway’s ringing “Papi” chant midway through the mini-blowout captured the strength of an improved Red Sox lineup that recorded 11 hits (five for extra bases) and went 6-for-12 with runners in scoring position.

“That’s a real good team,” Porter said. “I don’t know who before the season started would’ve said they weren’t going to be a good team. They have quality pitching, good bullpen and one througn nine, they have some guys that can hurt you.”

The Astros were damaged again, remaining in last place in the American League West and losing their ninth game in 12 contests.

Humber was hurting even more.

“It’s not fun to go out there and get hit around like that,” he said. “If I had an answer, I would’ve already done something different.”
