LSOF: The Small World

I hope everyone is having a great Sunday, whatever you are doing!:-)

I just got back from a phenomenal message at church:) I mean it was a LASTING one…does that make sense?

I’ve talked before about how God has this time line of events that seem to happen in our lives, that take us right up to the place we are supposed to be.

I’ve been having MORE of those moments, and I am excited to share:)

The time line for me happened within a few days of decided to ” DO Something” on Mandy’s blog, if you don’t know what I am talking about:

The message that Sunday after I had finished writing my post, and was waiting to let it run wild in blogland, was on ” Spiritual Wimpiness” and how important it is to not afraid to stand up for what we believe in, that we needed to DO Something to let the world know we are serious, and let God know we are serious enough to help Him shape culture, instead of it shaping us.

So I was like Hmmm…that’s kinda interesting.

So then, the post is published, people have amazing views from what they got out of it, I was oh so encouraged, and shaking my head at the same time, that God would let little ol me be given HIS big words, HIS perspective on everything, and used me as a megaphone to share the cry of His heart.

Then…more stuff began to happen.

A friend of mine began opening up more to talking to me about some personal things going on in her life, and then God would give me oppurtunities, no matter how hard it was, to help people at the most inconveinant times.

I was at the beach the other day, like I normally am now after work in the morning, and as I am walking back, I see a lady I know from work walking towards me. We got talking, first about the weather, and how often we come to the beach. But then the conversation somehow got on a more serious note, to where I was talking to her about God, and giving her an idea of a good church in the area she could attend. This woman has a hard background in her life, and she cried a couple times as we were talking.

(And I would just like to add, that the entire time we were talking, the tide was coming in, all the way up to my knees by the time I left her.)

I then drove home thanking God for giving me that oppurtunity, and thought about servant evangelism that my church does, and wondered when the next one would be, its only like every other few months of the year. Where there is a week of an oppurtunity to S.A.L.T (Serve and love the city).

When I walked into church this morning, guess what the first couple things happening were going to be?

Servant Evangelism: Car washes, Giving out water at the stores, gas to single mom’s, dog biscuit give out at the doggy park…etc.

So, I will be there bright and early after work next saturday until 11am. I imagine I’ll be tired, but I am excited I get to DO SOMETHING up close and personal:)

I just got off the phone with the person in charge of S.A.L.T, and I didn’t know but his mom had passed away on thursday. I hadn’t picked up on the name during church today, but it was an awesome conversation, and I will meet him and the family next sunday. I just love our crazy God, the way He does things…of all people for me to call tonight…wow.****

The message today was all about to get up and DO SOMETHING, no matter what, JUST do something! He used how the enemy likes to divert us from serving and loving God’s people.

AND the ending song was, ” God of the city” !!!!!!

And…tonight, at 5pm-7:30pm, there is a Prayer and Fasting gathering, also happens a couple times a year.

Anyway one feels like praying and spending time with God they got a whole few hours to do so. It is awesome:) I haven’t been to one in awhile:) I need me some Jesus:)

So with that said, its 11:57pm, and I need to sleep yet from last night. SO if you read this, PRAY I get up and can go:)

( I didn’t end up going, but it was wise that I didn’t for the schedule I have, I need to be healthy and awake, and been told already a couple times this week to rest.)

But my point in this whole thing. We act as though this world is SO big, but in reality, it is actually quite small. Because it doesn’t take much to change a life.

There is a story I’ll share my Pastor told today about a man who was walking on a beach.

He saw someone in the distance dancing, or something. He wasn’t quite sure. He got closer, and saw a little girl throwing starfish, after starfish into the ocean. The man asked her why she was doing it. And she told him that if the starfish stay on land they’ll die. So she took each one and threw it back into the water.

The man shook his head, because starfish lined the beach. He told her that he couldn’t see how doing what she was doing would really make a difference.

And the girl showed him, she picked up the starfish threw it, and told him,

” It made a difference to that one.”

Do what you can with what you have.

All else will fall into place:)

Be Blessed:)

  1. Whoa!
    try again!

    I love this post and as I briefly said yesterday we had this same song and message at church…all day.

    Sounds excessive but it’s not…the problem is excessive but a lot more pallatable when we all take on a portion…like how you might eat an elephant…one bite at a time.

    The marvelous thing about seeing God’s message to the church out there with central themes it’s as if He sent out a memo of His priorites and I get the biggest kick out of seeing who and how the memo gets excecuted.

    The body of Christ where I fellowship has been on this mission for over a year now. With the culmination of much prayer and planning playing out in a 3 day weekend call to action called LoveLoud.

    I was trying to wait and write once I settled down from the excitement of seeing this vision made real.

    that has not happened…Praise God!!

    Here is a link Ang to yesterdays services, I wish I were more tech savy, then I could edit just the message..but if go to about the 22 minute point on this first one and start from there, you should be good

    click here

    so sorry I’m going on…but once you watch, you will understand.

    lots of love and prayers for you Ang,

  2. Tammy: I love this line of yours:)

    {The marvelous thing about seeing God’s message to the church out there with central themes it’s as if He sent out a memo of His priorites and I get the biggest kick out of seeing who and how the memo gets excecuted.}

    I wonder how many He would like to kick:)

    Cheryl: I did your survey:) Thanks for the oppurtunity:) I enjoyed it:)

Why paper is a valuable commodity, not waste

Why paper is a valuable commodity, not waste

Written by Staff Writer

Is waste paper really ‘waste’ if it has a value? The answer is no.

“When we separate our recyclables from general rubbish, we will soon discover that there is treasure to be found in trash, ” says Anele Sololo, general manager of RecyclePaperZA.

Today a newspaper, tomorrow a cereal box

Paper and paper packaging is not waste but a valuable commodity. For manufacturers, recycled paper is an alternative fibre, with some 65% of recovered paper being used as raw material for the production of corrugated boxes and board, newspapers, tissue products, kitchen and industrial paper toweling, cereal boxes, soap cartons and moulded paper products like egg boxes.

The Value of Recycling

Around 100 000 people rely on recyclables for their daily bread. On any given day, and especially refuse collection day, you will be sure to notice a number of people with rickety trolleys checking wheelie bins and black bags for recyclable items.

“Informal waste collectors can often be seen as a nuisance, especially when hauling overloaded trolleys along busy roads; but these people are making a living by recovering recyclables and selling them to buy-back centres,” explains Sololo.

The average waste collector can start without a cent in his or her pocket and end the day with enough money to buy food for the table or school shoes for their children.

Not only does recycling provide economic opportunities for citizens from all walks of life, it ensures that valuable raw material does not end up in landfill where it becomes difficult if not impossible to retrieve, due to it being contaminated and unusable.

Paper recycling also plays a big part in sustaining jobs – from the people who walk the streets collecting recyclables to bigger companies that employ people to recover, weigh and sort recyclables.

Make a difference, sort your waste

Most of us use paper in one way or another every day, from business documents to school reports, from cereal boxes to milk cartons and the ever-essential toilet roll cores. By keeping your paper recycling in a separate bag for your local waste collectors, you will save them the time and the health risk of digging through a week’s worth of wet and smelly waste.

“Recyclable paper products should be kept clean and dry to ensure that the waste collector earns maximum value,” advises Sololo.

There is no better way to experience the local life and take in the river view than enjoying a boat tour around the village. Be careful with the boat tours that are not owned by local community, trying to take you to an overpriced restaurant and souvenir shop. You may think you are helping local community by paying entrance fee or buying souvenirs, but in fact, the locals get nothing of it. So if you have a chance to visit or meet a local family in Chong Kneas, feel free to tip them.

Our Garden is Yielding Results!

Below is an update by Jim Demosthenes about the gardens at Topsham Public Library. The gardens are maintained by a talented group of volunteers.

Our demonstration gardens behind the library are producing vegetables to help support food security needs in our community.

Last October seed garlic was planted on the keyhole garden, a round mounded garden area that includes a compost bin to naturally provide soil nutrients to the plant roots. Individual cloves were separated from the bulb and planted in the soil. Photo Sep 03, 9 07 46 AMNewspaper and straw was applied on top of the mound to help prevent weeds from growing and to protect moisture content in the soil. The cloves began to grow roots in the fall. After overwintering, the garlic began to grow green shoots out of the soil and the root system, established in the fall, began to mature. In June garlic scapes were harvested. Scapes are the flower bud of the garlic plant. They can be used as an addition to a flower bouquet, and they are delicious to eat! By removing the scapes, the plant energy is directed to the root system to produce larger garlic bulbs. In early July the green shoots began to die indicating that harvesting the garlic bulbs would need to be completed within the next few weeks. Otherwise, the cloves contained in the bulbs would start to separate and garlic storage could be compromised. In mid July the bulbs were harvested, allowed to naturally dry for several days, and then cleaned and cut.  A total of thirty one bulbs were harvested. Five bulbs were set aside to replant in October as seed garlic for next year’s crop (avoiding the cost of purchasing additional seed garlic). The remaining garlic bulbs (similar to the one on display) were donated to the Midcoast Hunger Prevention Program (MCHPP) in Brunswick.

Within the same garden are onion plants which are growing nicely. They will be harvested in the fall and donated to MCHPP as well.

The construction of the keyhole garden (with compost bin) helps to maintain moisture and provide food for the plants. No additional watering, artificial fertilizers, or weeding was needed. This demonstration garden shows how easily food can be grown and also shows one of the many ways the Topsham Public Library contributes to the needs of the community.

SALT - Motzaei Shabbat, March 23, 2019

  • Rav David Silverberg
            Parashat Shemini begins with Moshe’s instructions to Aharon and his sons, and to the nation’s elders on the eighth and final day on the Mishkan’s inauguration.  This was the day when Aharon and his sons began serving as kohanim for the first time, and when the Shekhina took residence in the Mishkan.  After the preparations for this event were made, the nation assembled by the entrance to the Mishkan, whereupon Moshe announced, “This is the thing that the Lord commanded that you do, so that the glory of the Lord shall appear to you” (9:6).
            Moshe does not speak to the nation any further, but merely proceeds to tell Aharon to approach the altar and serve as kohen gadol for the first time, offering that day’s sacrifices.  Seemingly, then, the announcement “This is the thing that the Lord commanded that you do” was made as an introduction to these rituals, informing the people that everything they would now observe – Aharon and his sons’ offering of sacrifices in the Mishkan – was all commanded by God.
Chazal however, in Torat Kohanim, interpret this verse differently, explaining that Moshe here was telling the people, “This is the thing that you shall do: eliminate the evil inclination from your heart, and the glory of the divine presence will immediately be revealed to you.”  Moshe was admonishing the people that beyond complying with the particular commands relevant to the sacrifices in the Mishkan, they needed to more generally “eliminate the evil inclination from your heart.”
            Numerous different approaches have been taken to explain Torat Kohanim’s intent.  Netziv, in Ha’ameik Davar, suggests that according to Torat Kohanim, Moshe’s announcement in a sense foreshadowed the tragedy that would befall Nadav and Avihu, Aharon’s two older sons who, on that very day, brought an unwarranted incense offering and were killed.  Moshe was warning the people to “eliminate” from within themselves the natural tendency to innovate new modes of worship, to decide on one’s own how religion should be practiced.  Others explain that Moshe refers here to the “evil inclination” of arrogance, to which all people are susceptible after completing a major undertaking.  With the completion of the Mishkan, Moshe urged the people not to excessively pride themselves on their great achievement, and to remember that as much as they’ve accomplished, there is always room for further growth and improvement.  Yet another explanation is that Moshe refers to the “evil inclination” of envy and competition.  When a group of people assemble together to work towards a lofty, idealistic goal, they are prone to end up fighting, with each insisting on taking center stage or having his precise vision followed even when others disagree.
            A more general insight into Chazal’s remark was offered by Rav Yisrael Alter of Ger, the Beit Yisrael, who found it significant that Chazal speak here in such broad terms.  As mentioned, numerous different possible explanations have been suggested to identify the precise “yetzer ha-ra” (“evil inclination”) to which Moshe was referring according to Torat Kohanim.  Yet, Torat Kohanim itself chose to remain vague, and to use the very broad term “evil inclination,” without specifying which particular human vice Moshe warned the people to overcome at this critical moment.  This ambiguity, the Beit Yisrael suggests, was intentional, as Torat Kohanim seeks to apply Moshe’s announcement to all of us, at all times, under all circumstances.  Whenever we attempt to build a Mishkan, to bring God into our midst, to live meaningful lives of devoted service of the Almighty, there will be a “yetzer ha-ra” of one sort or another for us to overcome.  Torat Kohanim specifically chose to speak in broad, general terms because in every era and in every circumstance, a different “yetzer ha-ra” confronts us.  The spiritual challenges of one generation differ drastically from those of other generations; the spiritual challenges of one person differ drastically from those of other people; the spiritual challenges of one stage of life differ drastically from those of other stages of life.  There is no single “yetzer ha-ra” that presents itself when a “Mishkan” is built, when people seek to serve God.  Spiritual challenges come in countless different forms, and we must be prepared to successfully meet and overcome each one to the best of our ability.

Apocryphal Theatre, Besides, You Lose Your Soul...

Review in Issue 21-2 | Summer 2009

For several years, Apocryphal Theatre has been exploring a complex language comprising cross-form improvisation, high-stress visual and gestural syntagms, and the manipulation of multiple performative matrices, frequently in relation to director Julia Lee Barclay’s characteristically slippery cut-up texts. Here, the company attempts (not without irony) to confront the entire history of western philosophy – and the difficulties attendant in requiring that canon somehow to account both for the west’s recent recourses to torture and, even more lethally, for the complicity of language in the framing of such obscenities so as to make them palatable to a mainstream constituency.

Apocryphal’s greatest strength is in limning theatrical environments that feel more like habitable places than conceptual spaces; here, artist Birthe Jorgensen creates, out of used textbooks, a city in flux, within which a shifting group of actors, plus the remarkable musician Alison Blunt, enact their various convergences and dispersals, while Barclay, in their midst, semi-satirically transcribes discrepancies and interpolations in their performance of her text, which is projected against one wall so as to dominate the room like a self-destructing monument.

The company’s work can sometimes exhaust itself chasing its own tail, or collapse beneath a burden of self-aware dubiety, but this piece achieves a real dynamic of building, of productivity. It’s high on anxiety, low on desire; sometimes knowingly constrained by a formidable intellectualism that is both bracing and bruising. In a sense, all Apocryphal’s work is preprogrammed to fail, but the failure becomes increasingly sophisticated and suggestive. Love it or hate it – or both – this is among the most significant work currently being essayed in London.

Twist and Shout

Review in Issue 23-2 | Summer 2011

Dorothy Max Prior gets an earful of sensational sounds at SPILL.

Opening the SPILL Festival of Performance 2011 is an artist known for his reticence: if you catch a glimpse of Ryoji Ikeda during one of his shows, you are doing well: he’ll be the unassuming guy in the black turtleneck sweater behind the mixing desk. At the end of datamatics [ver.2.0] he did, after a great deal of applause from an appreciative Barbican Concert Hall audience, come out to take a bow, but it was a fleeting moment. Ryoji Ikeda – electronic musician, visual artist, and a former member of legendary Japanese performance company Dumb Type – seems to fit the stereotype of a man fascinated by mathematics: neat, precise, reserved, more interested in machinery and numbers than in people.

His compositions in sound and light assemble and organise pure electronic data into patterns – sine waves and white noise, matrices of numbers, thousands of thin lines parallel or converging – an endless stream of electronic noise and fast-moving monochrome images that defy our powers of cognition and perception, resulting in a mantra-and-mandala-like effect. Unable to make sense, we give in, and enter into a different level of appreciation.

In the programme notes we learn that Ikeda pushes his computers almost to breaking point: ‘They start crying, but if you push more and more, patterns emerge.’ He’s a hard taskmaster, but we’re grateful for it. There’s theatre in them there codes and crucibles!

From his methodologies and their outcome come some fascinating teasers on our interpretation of such concepts as ‘abstract’ and the theatrical notion of ‘transformation’. For this raw material is abstracted from sources such as the emails he has downloaded onto his computer – the texts transformed back into their pure binary code of zeroes and ones. Words become numbers; all is nothing or one – a nice thought! And out of this mass of mathematical systems, pictures emerge – yes, constructed by our brains, but isn’t that always the way? Is it so different to the fire casting shadows on the walls of Plato’s cave? Thus, we suddenly see an expanding Milky Way, or a game of Battleships, or a medical chart monitoring a patient in the dead of night. Then, as quickly as they arrive, the pictures leave, and we return to a trance-like state of just – receiving. Like all great art, Ikeda’s work takes us out of ourselves and into a state of ecstatic, wordless appreciation of all that is ‘more than us’. A holy communion: art, science and spirituality merging in holistic harmony. Hallelujah!

With superficial similarities to Ikeda’s work – monochrome moving image with the occasional touch of primary red; earsplitting sound in an extraordinary range of notes and tones – Schrei 27, a film by Davide Pepe and Diamanda Galás, in fact works in the completely opposite direction to datamatics: it is rooted in the intensely human and visceral, but this somehow pans out and away into a detached set of sounds and images of the body that get closer and closer to abstraction. Had I read the programme notes before entering the cinema, I may well have stayed out: Schrei 27 is ‘an aria of pain… an unrelenting portrait of a body suffering torture within a medical faculty’. Yet it somehow, oddly, isn’t disturbing: the end result is something that has the deep and dark beauty of a Passion play, appropriately enough for Good Friday. I suppose I didn’t find it disturbing because I didn’t know what I was supposed to be viewing/hearing, so I wasn’t hearing the screams of a tortured person, I was hearing the extraordinary sonic possibilities of Diamanda Galás’s voice. It also – within the context of a festival of performance – raises interesting questions about how we interpret sound and image: just where are the differences between the scream of torture, the scream of childbirth, the scream of ecstasy – and a ‘pure’ scream? On a visual level: Davide Pepe’s film has the chiaroscuro beauty of a Caravaggio painting. Again, it may have been disturbing subject matter, but I found myself entranced by the qualities of light upon the body, or the emergence of a highlighted body part from the darkness. In my response, I am somehow reminded of the story of the small boy in the Second World War looking at the bombing of Coventry and seeing only a beautiful fireworks display.

Both of these SPILL shows highlight not only the awesome power of sound, but also point out that we see what we want to see…

Dorothy Max Prior saw Ryoji Ikeda’s datamatics [ver.2.0] on 18 April 2011, and Schrei 27, a film by Davide Pepe and Diamanda Galás, on 22 April 2011. Both were presented at the Barbican, London as part of the SPILL Festival of Performance 2011.

Palazzo Magnani Feroni

The Palazzo Magnani Feroni is housed in a historical home built in the 1500s which is an important icon of the aristocratic life in Florence, Italy. One of the oldest dwellings in the neighborhood of San Frediano, the Palazzo Magnani Feroni was home to the Marquis Feroni beginning in 1770 until it passed to the Magnani family in the 1800s.

Decorated with statues, paintings and frescoes dating from the 16th century, one can imagine the grand balls and formal parties held by the high-society owners and occupants, the importance of the palace further evidenced by the entrance leading to a wrought-iron gate decorated with the coat of arms of the Feroni family: an armor-clad arm, holding a sword and golden lily.

Previously an important art gallery known as the Galleria Salvadori, the Palazzo Magnani Feroni was renovated and converted into a 12-suite luxury hotel that oozes old world charm; the period furniture, antique chandeliers and numerous pieces of original tapestries from the Salvadori collection has placed it under the jurisdiction of the Italian Artistic Patrimony Protection.

All one would need to do was ask for assistance, be it with booking tours, making dinner reservations or recommendations for local shopping sites and the staff will go out of their way to help.

Guests will admire the original cross-vaulted ceilings of the suite.

The Junior Suite is smaller compared to the other suites at 75 square meters. However, its walls covered with frescoes and the small private courtyard with table and chairs make it one of the most desired suites at the Palazzo Magnani Feroni.

Classic Suites consist of two spacious rooms of about 90 square meters and are located in the east wing. A hallway welcomes guests and leads them to the bedroom, bathroom with shower and comfortable living room.

The Feroni Family Suite can be connected to another double room, covering 140 square meters overall.

There are many legends surrounding the carp, which is most often seen as a positive and luck-bringing symbol.

Franconian carp

In Europe, some take a scale from the carp eaten on Christmas and keep it in their wallet, in order to bring them luck and prosperity. Another belief is that a moon-shaped stone is located over the eye of a carp: The person who finds it on Christmas will have good luck.

Asia is the home of the valuable and beloved Koi carp. In Japan, they are a symbol of strength, as they are the only fish which can conquer the waterfalls of the Yellow River. Therefore a gift of a Koi is believed to grant the receiver strength.

Change in global recovered paper trade patterns – A Fastmarkets RISI perspective

China’s decision to restrict the import of solid waste including recovered paper (RCP) in 2017 was a major turning point and impacted RCP trade flows severely. The last three years saw the global recycled paper industry trying to adjust to the new world trade patterns brought about by China's new RCP import regulations. Fastmarkets RISI offers a comprehensive viewpoint. Over the years the recovered paper grades have changed dramatically along with the global consumer markets for these materials. All over the world, recovered paper (RCP) is a fundamental raw material and most of the world’s paper and board is made…

Commodity Trading

The commodity market exists for many centuries. Gold, silver, wheat and sugar have been traded across the globe by our ancestors, to be later joined by modern commodities including natural gas, oil and soy beans.

Information regarding commodities can be acquired through different means, from news to financial sites as well as diverse economic reports. The information is used to evaluate opportunities and risks. Allowing investors to make rather informed trading decisions.”

The variables that affect the commodity prices include:

·      Consumer preferences
·      Natural disasters
·      Changes in taxation
·      Consumer preferences
·      Geopolitical Events
·      Technological Advancements

Short Trading vs. Long Trading

Considering that the Financial Market is always fluctuating, it doesn’t matter if you contemplate that the price of a specific commodity is going to decrease or increase. When you trade commodities, you can benefit from every variation in price, up or down. You may select to ‘Buy’ (Long) if you anticipate the commodity in question will gain value or ‘Sell’ (Short) if you consider the commodity will reduce value”

Trading Commodities with Leverage

Leverage is one of the most common tools used by traders, it allows you to boost your buying power. In Trading360 we can teach you how to benefit from the use of leverage and manage risks while trading commodities.

For example:

With a $500 investment, you can open a position valued at $50,000 using a ratio leverage of 100:1.

Leverage permits you to open a position with a larger volume at a rather minor investment. It increases the risk of an investment so it should be used with high level of understanding.

Movie Tickets Sold in US and Canada Dropped Nearly 82% From 2019-2020

NA Box Office

The movie industry in the US suffered greatly due to the Coronavirus pandemic as box office numbers in the US and Canada dropped off significantly compared to prior years. According to data presented by, the number of movie tickets sold in the US and Canada dropped by almost 82% in 2020 compared to movie tickets sold in 2019.

COVID-19 Causes Nearly 82% Drop in North American Box Office

The 2020 Coronavirus pandemic’s devastating effects were felt all around the world and impacted many industries negatively. The film industry was one of the hardest hit as both supply and demand were both adversely affected as the virus forced people to shelter home and isolate. This meant significantly fewer people able to go to the cinemas, as well as fewer movies being made as logistical demands brought on by the pandemic made it nearly impossible to shoot a full-blown Hollywood movie.

!function(e,i,n,s){var t=”InfogramEmbeds”,d=e.getElementsByTagName(“script”)[0];if(window[t]&&window[t].initialized)window[t].process&&window[t].process();else if(!e.getElementById(n)){var o=e.createElement(“script”);o.async=1,,o.src=””,d.parentNode.insertBefore(o,d)}}(document,0,”infogram-async”);

As a result box office revenue and movie tickets sold from the US and Canada dropped by nearly 82% in 2020 compared to 2019. 2020’s recorded revenue of $2B in 2020 is the lowest box office revenue seen from the US and Canada since 1981 when there was just under a billion dollars of box office revenue.

The pandemic’s effects are even more pronounced when box office revenue for 2020 is broken down to weekly numbers. Box office data shows that in the 11 weeks prior to lockdowns across North America, box office earnings amounted to almost $1.7B up until the week of March 19. In the 36 weeks that followed, up until the week of November 26, box office revenue only totalled $212M.

Sony Most Box Office Revenue Among Film Studios with 2020’s Biggest Box Office Hit

Sony recorded the largest box office revenue in the US and Canada with a total of $495.5M for 2020. $206M came from their major hit ‘Bad Boys for Life’, the latest instalment of the Bad Boys movie franchise which was the biggest box office hit of 2020. Universal and Disney/Fox also had respectable box office revenues with $429M and $413.6 respectively.

Only four other movies recorded more than $100M in 2020 – 1917 ($157.9), Sonic the Hedgehog ($146.06), Jumanji: The Next Level ($124.73) and Star Wars: Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalker ($124.49).

Is Private Property in America Ever Justly Acquired?

Property acquisition in the Americas begins.

Back to the critique of Ron Paul’s libertarian principles that I began with this post. We’re onto principle number 3:

3. Justly acquired property is privately owned by individuals and voluntary groups, and this ownership cannot be arbitrarily voided by governments.

–from The Ten Principles of a Free Society

[Aside: There’s that word “voluntary” with groups (associations) again! ]

As I’ve shown in my previous critiques, Paul’s principles are half-baked by-products of social contract theory. They want to assert that rights precede government (which even social contract philosophers have to take on faith) and then do away with the government that those philosophers posited as a necessary evil for preserving those rights in society with other individuals. Really? Do away with the government, you might ask? Doesn’t Paul, like Jefferson, for example, just want to keep the government to a size that isn’t able to overwhelm the individual with its potentially arbitrary and despotic power? I would argue that the way these principles are phrased–and this one in particular is a very good example–Paul seeks to postulate a society that operates according to natural rights, with or without a government. He seems to believe that rights in themselves, if we would only just respect them, are sufficient for self-government.

Look closely at this third principle: What a strange formulation it takes! It begins with the presumption that any “justly acquired” property must be privately owned. Is there any other way to read that first clause? And is that true? Are national parks, for example, not as justly acquired as any private ranch? And what would determine the “justice” of a property acquisition, anyway, if not a government’s property regulations?

Anyone who deals with the question of property in the Americas has to confront the root problem of its acquisition from the aboriginal populations, for all property in the Americas, like it or not, is the product of those first tainted acquisitions. I know from personal experience arguing with extreme Libertarians that this subject causes great discomfort. They tend to reply to it with impatience, knowing full well what a moral quagmire it is for their sacred property rights. Some of them do have a stock answer, however, as I noted in a previous post:

[P]roprietarians consider the taking of property through war as legitimate if the other side can be said to have “inititiated force.” Thus, because the governments of England, Holland, Spain, etc., were “legitimate” ca 1492 and because their wars against the peoples who were in the Americas were allegedly waged to protect the safety of their citizens against marauding redskins, the appropriation of lands in the Americas was “just,” and all exchanges over property since then have been “just.” (Whereas taxation is “unjust”–even though taxation merely pays for the system that legitimizes private property in the first place.)

This explanation or excuse (offered by Ayn Rand, for one), of course, ignores that conquest–or, in plainer terms, royal greed–was what drove the mass expropriation, not protection of colonists. Another libertarian justification for this thievery on a mass scale stems from the notion that property is progress, that the peoples who were in the Americas were benighted and the Europeans came partly to bring this property-based enlightenment to them (whether they were ready for it or not). Of course, this merely begs the historical question (it happened because it had to happen?) and evades the ethical one entirely.

It’s unfortunate that libertarians don’t spend more time grappling with this troubling question, seeing as how central it is to their ideology. If you’re going to assert that property is inherently just, what do you do with the enormous injustice at the heart of private property in the Americas? Do you dismiss it for the time being and hope someone else’s apologetics do the trick for you? Evidently so, for most libertarians. But they should be aware of the gigantic dishonesty at the core of their most sacred belief, and it should trouble them, I think, considering how rational they suppose their beliefs to be.

Thinking about this principle of Paul’s reminded me of an article that appeared in the Nation a few weeks ago by William Greider on New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman’s growing case against the largest banks and their role in the housing bubble that sparked the 2008 financial crisis. It’s worth quoting at length, partly because the story is important despite being under-reported (and Greider’s reporting is exemplary) and partly because it illustrates another one of my problems with the inadequacy of Paul’s (and most Libertarian) principles (my emphases):

In recent months, Schneiderman’s office has dispatched requests for records and information from seven of the biggest banks (Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, Goldman Sachs, UBS, Royal Bank of Scotland and Deutsche Bank). One way or another, they were the leading players in the housing bubble, either by originating subprime mortgages of dubious quality or by packaging the mortgage-backed securities that turned into toxic assets for unwitting investors.

Schneiderman has further requested information from four bond insurers that backed the investment paper, a Buffalo law firm known as a mortgage mill and two private equity firms that owned processing firms in the mortgage market. Most important, however, is his request to see files from the two leading banks—Deutsche Bank and Bank of New York Mellon—that acted as trustees for the mortgage securities, certifying that all complied with property-law requirements and provided the proper documentation.

The storm of foreclosure litigation during the past year strongly suggests the opposite. Around the country, lawyers for homeowners have won scores of cases blocking banks from foreclosing on their clients. Courts have held that mortgages or securities were fatally flawed and therefore void. Banks filed false affidavits and unsupported documents, in effect defrauding the courts. When judges asked for backup evidence of ownership, lawyers went to the trustees and found that the mortgages and liens were not in the files. Bankers couldn’t prove they owned the homes they were seizing. Often they couldn’t even establish who owned the loans or whether borrowers were actually in default. Many documents were signed by untrained functionaries who didn’t bother to examine what they were signing.

Officials in Washington at first downplayed the implications, suggesting that bureaucratic sloppiness by the banks was not a reason to intervene in the foreclosure process. But the essence of this scandal goes to the heart of capitalism—the American system of property law. The most prestigious financial firms abused and distorted that system in their rush to accumulate greater profit, with less responsibility for the results.

The Congressional Oversight Panel, led by Elizabeth Warren, investigated the mess last year and warned in its report, “If documentation problems prove to be pervasive…the consequences could be severe.” The details are complicated, but the essential meaning was described by Damon Silvers, AFL-CIO associate general counsel and deputy chair of the COP. “Here’s why all this is so dangerous,” he explained. “Property law requires very precise documentation at every step in the process because the whole economy comes apart if you can’t be certain who owns what. When you buy a house, the bank insists you comply with the property-law regime, and you sign pages and pages of agreements to do so. And you can lose your home if you fail to comply. Yet in this situation the banks did not comply themselves—that’s what’s mind-boggling.”

It remains to be seen what happens here, but it seems to me that the crimes Schneiderman is investigating show up the smoke-like fragility and intricacy of property rights in the US at this moment in our history. How easily our largest banks were able to erase the lines (arbitrarily void them, one might say) between who owns what! Where is the justice in the way these pieces of property were traded? And who is going to sort out the injustices if not the government in the form of Schneiderman and his fellow AGs?

I’d be very curious to hear from libertarians for whom Paul’s principle number 3 resonates on all of these issues.

Hi Jrice,

thanks for your words. Right now I'm trying to correct some translations after watching how they really work in the EOL pages.

Astro Aerospace Elroy

Quick Summary

Astro Aerospace's Elroy is a short distance, all-electric multicopter, powered by 8 independent electric motors each with dual rotors. The Elroy has foreseeable uses in agriculture, recreation, and personal transportation. Having already completed many flight tests, reservations for the Elroy are available on its website.

Astro Aerospace, based in Oxnard, CA

Stage of Development

Preliminary Design

Prototype Build

Flight Testing

Commercially Operating
Technical Details

Aircraft Type: Wingless VTOL

Powerplant: All-Electric

Range: 18 miles

Top Speed: 45 mph

Propeller Configuration: 8 tilting electric motor/propeller pairs

Passenger/Payload Capacity: 1 Pilot + 1 Passenger or 260 lb payload

Autonomy Level: Pilot-Assistance

Wingspan/Dimensions: Undisclosed

Our Take on the Astro Elroy

The Astro Elroy has one unique advantage over many other eVTOLs of the same category – it's been flight tested for over a year. This achievement is fantastic for Astro Aeronautics, but the next hurdle - the regulatory one - is looming in front of the company. If Astro can successfully navigate a path to certification with the FAA, then the Elroy has a great chance of becoming a profitable endeavor. Notably, Astro is already public on the U.S stock market with the ticker 'ASDN', and reservations for the aircraft are available through its website. Since posting several videos in 2018 of the prototype's flight tests, not much news has recently come from Astro.

8 Not-so-Obvious Things to do in Amsterdam ...

By Ellie

In need of some research for an impending trip, I decided to take a look at the less-obvious things to do in Amsterdam. We all know about the red-light district and the infamous cafes, but there must be more to the city, right?! Of course there is – and after writing this, I’m even more excited to go. Here are some not-so-obvious things to do in Amsterdam.

Amsterdam is a wonderful city to visit if you’re an art enthusiast – head to the Rijksmuseum, where you can see the work of the Old Masters Rembrandt and Vermeer, as well as work by artists such as Jacob de Wit and Ferdinand Bol. This is one of my favorite things to do in Amsterdam, or at least it will be!

If you’re more of a fan of modern art, head to The Stedelijk Museum for an excellent collection of contemporary artists. There’s work by Picasso, Cézanne, Matisse, Lichtenstein, Warhol and Nauman, amongst others. There’s also the Van Gogh Museum, a big street art scene and Jordaan, an area filled with specialist galleries.

I don’t know how museums have a reputation for being a bit boring – they’re amazing, and isn’t it only right that you learn something about the place you’re visiting? Head to Amsterdam’s Historisch Museum, and later visit the Joods Historisch Museum, located within the old Jewish quarter. Of course, there’s also the home of Anne Frank to visit.

What do you think of when you think of Amsterdam? Other than the obvious. Windmills! Well, I do anyway, and there’s still eight windmills in Amsterdam. The most well-known of these is the De Gooyer.

My favourite subject. If you’re going to Amsterdam, make sure to try some varieties of Dutch cheese – often served during happy hour with mustard. Dig into Dutch pancakes (pannekoeken), with Dutch syrup if you want to follow tradition. For a more savoury snack, go for the vlaamse frites with a massive dollop of Dutch mayonnaise. Finally, don’t leave without trying a raw herring garnished with onions and pickles. Yum!

For a sanctuary away from the buzz of the busy city, go to the Begijnhof – a former 14th century convent that is now a hidden garden and courtyard. Or, go to the Vongelpark, the largest park in Amsterdam. This is especially good in summer, when you should bring a picnic to enjoy whilst you people-watch.

Amsterdam is nearly as famous for its canals as it is for the more unsavoury activities you can do in the city. If you're visiting, you can't miss out on a canal-tour. Taking a trip through the historic city centre by boat is a beautiful and easy way to see some of the city's most impressive architecture... and get your bearings.

Tulips, the flower of the Netherlands! To see some of the world's most beautiful flowers, head to Keukenhof, the famous bulb flower park in Lisse. People come from all over to visit here in tulip season, and you'll soon see why, as you're surrounded by thousands of the most brightly-coloured, beautiful blooms you can imagine.

So, there you have it! Eight things you can do in Amsterdam aside from the obvious. Of course, you have to sample all the local culture though anyway... right? I would love to hear if I’ve missed anything important here. What do you think? Have I missed any must-sees off the list?
