The History of St Patrick Pt 3

by JoHarrington

The third part of the story brings us back to Ireland again. This time Patricius came, not in chains, but of his own free will and volition. He was on a mission from God.

In 432, Patricius returned to Ireland. The first time, he had been a terrified, enslaved teenager; and spent six years dodging death. But now he was Bishop Padraig, better known to us as St Patrick.

Having made an audacious escape, he'd spent years learning the priesthood in a French monastery. Most of his Roman contemporaries thought he was insane to step outside the Empire. The Irish were barbarians, subhuman, unworthy of baptism.

Patrick begged to disagree.

The Mission of St Patrick

Convert the king and the rest will follow.

Image:  Chesspiece KingFrom the monks and all his fellow Christian brethren back in France, Patrick knew what to do.  All missionaries of the time did the same.  It was tried, tested and known to work.

They didn't bother with the common folk, as Jesus Christ himself had done.  Missions were much more effective if a high born noble, or even a monarch, could be converted.

With just that one turning of faith, a whole household would be forced to follow suit.  Family members, councilors currying favor, banner men, courtiers, soldiers and slaves.  They would all become Christian, if their leader did first.

By the time their children had been born and raised in the religion, all would have forgotten that it was originally about politics.

This Patrick knew.  It was how his own Romano-British family had been converted a couple of generations ago.  French missionaries had not visited the local Celtic roundhouses, they'd made for the Roman style villas, where the wealthy lived.  Where the trend-setters, employers and valued customers lived.  One such conversion caused a ripple effect for miles.

This Patrick did.  As soon as he set foot on Irish soil, he made for the nearest Rí stronghold.  The Irish clan chiefs and petty kings were ten a penny in the 5th century, but each was powerful in his own domain.

Moreover he knew how to talk with them.  His own background, like that of every other high-ranking Christian in his world, was from the same high-born classes.  He knew how they thought and what concerned them.  He spoke on their level, in words that he was taught in seminary classes.  He made conversions.

But that wasn't all Patrick did.  His teachers had taught him with the Roman Empire in mind.  He was amongst the Irish; and six years as a slave there had also taught him all about them.

Irish Spirituality and the Ancient Religion of Ireland

Every hedgerow had an attendant nature spirit. The great pantheon of Ireland watched over all. Patrick stood before them with HIS God.

Image: TriskeleTo understood how St Patrick converted the Irish to Christianity, you first must understand the times in which he worked.  More to the point, how spirituality already existed in Ireland.

Patrick came with a message of one God to rule them all.  The Irish had a pantheon of Gods and Goddesses.  In addition, there was also the sanctity inherent in the landscape itself.  Local deities of rocks, mountains, meadows and trees.  Household spirits; ancestor worship; the holiness in lakes, groves and the ocean.

For the Irish (and indeed all Celts), there was a magic to the Earth, the sky and the ocean.  Each aspect of human life had its own divine intermediary.  Call on Morrighan for the battlefield and Macha for the child bed.  Call on Shannon for the river named for her; and Erin for the whole of Ireland.  Call upon Lugh to bring the light.

When Tagdh the Bard looked for poetic inspiration, he called upon Nuada.  When the fishermen cast out in the morning on their boats, they whispered a quick prayer to Lir or Manannan.  When the farmer prepared his seeds for planting, then he'd look to his wife to make the necessary arrangements with the Goddess Brighid.

It was a rich and vibrant spiritual world, filled with home-grown deities; and it's not easy to ask people to switch allegiance from that to an unknown, untried, single deity from the Middle East.  So Patrick didn't.  He was much more clever than that.

How to Evangelize People like St Patrick

The shamrock has three or four leaves, but only one stalk. Ireland has many Gods, but only one God. Savvy?

Image: ShamrockThe best way to convert a people to your own point of view is never to dismiss their own.  It's to reinterpret it.  The facts remain the same, but the conclusions shift into something entirely different.

St Patrick never once denied the Irish Gods and Goddesses.  But he said that his Christian God was bigger and above them all.

It was a very Roman way of doing things.  Caesar had allowed all his conquered people to keep their leaders and deities, as long as they placed him at the top of the hierarchy.  He'd made himself a God, just so he could receive his spiritual as well as Earthly due.  Patrick merely borrowed the tactic, as Christian missionaries were wont to do elsewhere.

All of the Irish deities still existed, but here's the big secret:  they were just aspects of one God.  Manannan was just the name that God used, when He watched over the ocean.  Diancecht was the name He used when He was a physician.  It was all smoke and mirrors, but the Irish people had proved themselves worthy of The Truth.

These were Celts!  They were used to the concept of the Three-in-One.  They could easily imagine one divine force with separate faces.  St Patrick's trick was to merge more and more until they saw that being as just one God.  Just leaves on the same shamrock stalk.

If the deity in question proved too big to shift, then St Patrick declared that He or She was actually a saint.  The great example here is the Goddess Brighid, who suddenly transformed into St Brigit.  Same area of divine influence, same expertise, same prayers, but now with a Christian twist.

Then there were all those features on the landscape, which Patrick claimed for his own.  If there was a particularly holy rock, dedicated to a powerful local deity, he held a mass on it.  It became St Patrick's Rock.  If there was a local shrine, he founded a chapel covering it.

Little by little, mile by mile, conversation by conversation, he brought all of Ireland into the Christian fold.  It was a very Irish kind of Christianity, which would have been looked at with some askance over in Rome.  But the Romans were already looking at this mission as something bizarre, so where was the harm there?

Patrick was so successful in his strategy that his tactics were later appropriated in other 'barbarian' missions.

St Patrick's Shamrock Jewelry

St Patrick used three leaved shamrock (clover) to explain the Trinity, but it also worked well for how the Irish deities were all the Christian God.

How Did St Patrick Convert the Irish to Christianity?

Ireland became Christian because of St Patrick's passion, energy and sheer force of personality. It felt like the right thing to do.

Image: St PatrickThe strategy was all there.  St Patrick headed first for the nobility, and he had an explanation and/or secret about the existing Irish pantheon and nature spirits.  All good.

But conversion is a two way street.  St Patrick could evangelize all he liked, but it wouldn't get him very far, if the Irish laughed in his face.

Imagine today me turning up and declaring that YOUR holy site now belongs to my deity.  What would you do?

Nothing much changes over the years.  The 5th century Irish were just like you and me.  The same mumbles, grumbles, protests and downright riots would have ensued (and probably did), but for one major factor.  Patrick himself.

For a start, he was relentless.  Nothing changed overnight.  He devoted the rest of his life to being the apostle of the Irish.  He found converts one by one, home by home, settlement by settlement, stronghold by stronghold, until whole areas had people baptized.  Then he instructed those who would stay behind to maintain the faith and find more converts in that region.

But most of all, it was his personality and his way of connecting with all whom he met.  He could talk to the nobility on their level, because he was one of them.  He could talk with the slaves on their level, because he had been one of them too.

He pointed out what was in the interests of each.  Why should a king convert?  Because the alternative was following the Druids.  The druidic faith held a monarch synonymous with their land.  Too many failed crops could technically lead to a blood sacrifice.  The Christian faith held God responsible for the land, with a monarch as his anointed, chosen leader.  It granted much more power without accountability.

Why should a slave convert?  Because God had reached down for Patrick when he was a slave.  He had helped Patrick escape and now look at him.  Moreover, Patrick was teaching an anti-slavery message alongside the Gospel.  Those clan leaders who converted freed their slaves.

Patrick made it in the interests of whomever he spoke with to make the switch.  He acted as living proof that Christianity was the way forward.  He did it in such a human way too.  He admitted his own fears, his own doubts, his own sins.  He made them love him.  He made them feel like they'd been let in on a big, almighty secret.  He made them feel like he was a friend, one of them, giving the best advice possible.

People converted because they wanted to.  It's the only way that anyone does anything on a deep soul level; and Christianity was presented as just that.

Still, not everyone was a fan and not everyone took Patrick's Mission as a wonderful and benevolent thing.   Part four of his story will linger upon that.

It's time to pop some tags people!  Cue choir of Angel's singing as I tell you "Today is National Thrift Shop Day" and we are celebrating by shouting out our local thrift/consignment shops.

Angel here and if you know me even for like five seconds you know I love a bargain.  I can sniff one out like a bloodhound.  There is just something about other people's stuff and it being super cheap that I can't pass up.

Angel's Thrift Shop Finds

It also reminds me of my momma.  She and I would go thrift shopping on a regular basis when I was growing up.  She taught me how to get all the best deals and even when to shop.  She knew the times they would mark items down.  We also could afford nice things this way.  As I got older it became a favorite past time for us and then when she passed away I used bargain shopping as a way to always take her with me.

In Owensboro, we have some of the best shops around.  I make sure to frequent each one as much as the next.  Charlotte has actually made friends with all the shop owners and they usually give her snacks or their phones to play while I shop.

You can find the most unique items here.  Tina supports a lot of local folks who make items and she gets stuff from local boutiques.  You can always find a treasure here.

EnVogue Consignment Shop

I stumbled upon New Life a few years ago on a Saturday.  They are a thrift store, not consignment and run off donations.  A lot of donations come from the community and even some of our other consignment shops.  They use the money made to put it back into the community.  They have awesome stuff from clothing to furniture to books.  You won't find the same thing twice.

New Life Thrift

I love visiting the crew at The Clothesline.  They have great deals and lots of different items.  Their tag system brings on more deals.

The Clothesline

It's an upscale boutique full of literally everything you can think of.  They have clothing for the whole family and your house too.  This past weekend I got tons of dollar deals.  I buy ahead for my kids and store them in totes in the attic.  I snapped the hat I am wearing and several other items when I went this past Saturday.

Robin's a family-owned business.  It was started by Robin Roach years ago and she has now passed the shop on to her daughter Maria.  Robin is now an essential worker as a Registered Nurse here in Owensboro.  They will not be opening their doors until a later date and want to encourage you to visit them online.  They post new items daily and have amazing new and used items.

Owensboro is so fortunate to have so many different options to get a bargain.  If you are going out and about please check the Facebook pages of each of these so you are following all precautions necessary to keep others safe.  Happy Shopping.

Honey has been used by mankind for millennia – a naturally sweet, viscous liquid made from the nectar of flowers and collected by honey bees. Did you know that honeybees pollinate an estimated one-third of all the food crops we consume? Contrary to popular belief, not all honey is created in the same way. We are surrounded by varying flavours of the same substance! Similar to wine, the flavour of honey depends on what flowers the honeybees have visited.

This is the real stuff straight from the hive to the jar with nothing else added in between. Every jar is a gift from the bees to you. Every jar helps sustain family-owned bee farms. Try some real raw honey today!

Buyer’s Guide

Thickness planers are handy tools to have in your toolbox or workshop. They help to smooth wood and also reduce its thickness to suit your needs. They’re ideal for DIY projects around the house and for your woodworking business. All five of our listed products will serve you well, but the one you choose depends on your needs and your budget.

If you’re buying a new thickness planer or maybe updating your old faithful, there are a few factors to keep in mind. Knowing what to look out for will help you find the perfect planer whether you’re a DIY guru or are a professional woodworker.

Different types of planers are used for different purposes. You need to make sure you choose the right planer for the job at hand. The tools in our review are primarily for smoothing and reducing the thickness of wood. If you need to do any kind of woodwork beyond this, you might want to look for something a little more industrial.

Quality usually comes with a hefty price tag, but it’s not always the case. Newer brands don’t cost as much as the more established ones, but they’re giving them a run for their money when it comes to durability and features. We suggest looking at the warranty – it indicates how much the manufacturer believes in the product.

You want to look at the build of the machine and what it’s made of. Steel, aluminum, and iron will last longer, offer more stability, and withstand the wear and tear that comes with the job.

Do you plan on taking your planer out on jobs, or will it be staying in your workshop? There are loads of compact models available that you can move from one area to another and even transport from one site to the next.

Ease of Use

No matter how good you are with a planer, ease of use is always a bonus. Do you want to deal with difficult assembly or operating guidelines when there are thickness planers that get the job done quickly and efficiently? There are products that work straight out the box and don’t require a whole lot of extras or attachments

Size of Table

Something worth considering is the size of the table and the cutting area. Some planers might not be big enough to handle larger pieces of wood, so make sure you check the maximum width and thickness a planer can accommodate before buying it.

Cutting Area

Look at the cutting area and the blades. You’ll find different shapes and sizes of blades, all of which work towards a different purpose. Some will offer a smoother finish than others. If you’re not sure, ask on a forum or drop us a message for more information about the various blades and cutting areas.

Both the type and size of the motor are essential. The power you need will depend on the type of wood you work with. Some of the cheaper planers may not be strong enough to use with thicker wood or larger pieces. If you want a machine that can be used for long hours at a stretch and cut through anything, you’ll need to look for a planer with a strong motor.

A thickness planer is a power tool, and power tools make some noise. However, some models are louder than others. If noise is a problem for you or your neighbors, you may want to look at a model that operates quietly.

Snipe can be a problem with all types of planers, as most tend to chip off wood at the edges of the piece of wood you’re working with. There are ways to reduce this, but in general, it’s always going to be an issue. Our suggestion is to look for a machine that doesn’t have a lot of snipe or that can at least be operated in such a way that reduces it.

Thickness planers are handy for both professional workshops and enthusiastic hobbyists. Our reviews include high-end products as well as entry-level and mid-priced planes to suit every budget. Whichever types of woodworking jobs you plan to do, our reviews, buyer’s guide, and comparison table will give you all the information you need to make a smart buying choice.

Attendance and Punctuality

Regular attendance at school is very important and absence is closely monitored by the school and the Attendance Improvement Officer from Hertfordshire County Council.  Late attendance and persistent absence is also monitored.

If your child is not going to be at school, please telephone us as early as possible to let us know.  Our answerphone is on 24 hours a day and will give you the choice of pressing ‘option 1 – absence’. This means you do not have to wait until school time to call us.  It is important that you let us know before our deadline of 9.15am and please make sure that you leave your child’s name, class and reason for absence. If we have not been notified of an absence you will be sent an email or text to your mobile phone to clarify the reason.  It is the parents responsibility to ensure all contact details are kept up-to-date.

If we are unable to get in touch with you we will call the other contact numbers you have provided on your contact record form.  This is undertaken as part of our safeguarding duties.  Please keep all changes to numbers up to date to ensure contact can be made in all circumstances.

If your child has an appointment during the school day please let the School Office know in advance and the Class Teacher where possible.  If this appointment is in the morning, but your child will be in school for lunch please give the School Office notice and inform them of your child’s lunch option before 9.15 am so that they may inform the kitchen.

If your child is late to school, they should be brought directly to the School Office where you should sign them in on the screen in the lobby.  Any child who arrives at school after 9.00am will be marked as ‘late’. Any child who arrives after that time may be regarded as having an unauthorised absence for the whole of that morning.

Please ensure that your child is at school in plenty of time each morning. The school playground is open from 8.30 am and school starts promptly at 8.50am.  This is essential to ensure that children benefit fully from classroom learning and that other children’s learning is not disrupted.

Leave of Absence Requests

We ask that you do not take children out of school for family holidays or general appointments. Current legislation does not allow these to be authorised.  We find that breaks from school are detrimental to children’s education and that they find it difficult to regain lost ground.

However, if you need to remove your child from school for any reason you will need to complete a ‘Leave of Absence Form’ available from the school office. and attached below.  It must be completed and returned to the school prior to the proposed absence.  The Headteacher will then consider whether regulations allow the absence to be authorised or not. Failure to do this will result in the absence being recorded as unauthorised and may be referred to the Attendance Improvement Officer and could incur a Fixed Penalty Notice fine.

Support » Plugin: Advanced Custom Fields: Image Aspect Ratio Crop Field » Useful Elementor Integration Tips

  • I really like this plugin a lot. I was initially disappointed because it wasn’t straightforward to use with Elementor, but I figured out two workarounds that allows the plugin to work flawlessly with Elementor’s dynamic features.

    1) Use the ACF Cropped Image Field in any Elementor Post or CPT Widget Name your Image Aspect Ratio Crop field
    in order to replace the default WordPress featured image / thumbnail with your perfectly cropped acf field.

    2) Use the ACF Cropped Image Field Dynamically in all other applications Create an extra CPT that uses standard ACF image fields with the exact same field name as the Aspect Ratio Crop field on the actual post type. When building your page or templates, select the image field on the other post type to call the field.

    God, this makes me so happy. I really love this aspect ratio cropping feature.

Crochet: (n) needlework done with a needle with a large hook at one end.

I know nothing about crochet.

Yet this, by the way, does not discourage my need to espouse.

I have never crocheted. I don’t think I’ve even seen someone crochet, though they could have been doing it incognito—because since I don’t know what it is, it could be done before my very eyes and fool me for sure.

But I do recall that I had a great-aunt who decided to crochet me a sweater, since I was so overweight that it was difficult to buy them in stores. (As you can see, the premise for the gift was already somewhat flawed.)

So she set out to do this sweater for me—and then, six months later it arrived in the mail.

It was huge, and the color of straw.

In other words, it wasn’t yellow, it wasn’t brown, and you couldn’t even call it brownish-yellow or yellowish-brown. Although it was brand new, the flatness of the color made it look like it had been worn for many generations. And even though it was very large, when I put it on it felt funny. It was like one shoulder was crocheted shorter than the other, and the left-arm length was about three inches too long. It also had no buttons—you know, in the front, so you could join it and turn it into a sweater instead of a human horse blanket.

But it was warm, and it was the first piece of clothing that had come my way for a while (since in my era there was no such thing as “big men’s shops.”)

I decided to wear it.

My friends tried to be nice, but finally, when the class clown walked in, unaware that everyone was attempting to be sensitive about my misshapen garment, he just burst into laughter, which caused everyone else to feel free to mock at will.

You would think that this would have cured me from wearing my crocheted sweater—but because it was mine, and warm, and because I refused to be intimidated by the foolish fashionistas, I ended up donning it quite frequently.

Matter of fact, I kept it for two years, which is quite remarkable for an adolescent.

I wore it until one day, in study hall, I was suffering from a severe head cold. I had no Kleenex and feared that my entire brain was ready to run out of my nose and into my mouth. I reached up with my sweater and ran it across my nose, trying to sop up unwelcomed mucous.

You can tell by my description of the event that my wheaty-colored sweater could not be worn again.

Hester Prynne’s Development Essay, Research Paper

Hester Prynne’s Development Hester Prynne, through the eyes of the Puritans, is an extreme sinner; she has gone against the Puritan ways, committing adultery. In the town of Boston where the story takes place, this sin is among the worst for the Puritan community. For this irrevocably harsh sin, she must wear a symbol of shame for the rest of her life. But this trial in Hester’s life forces her to mature. The character of Hester Prynne changed significantly throughout the novel. From the beginning, we see that Hester Prynne is a young and beautiful woman who has brought a child into the world with an unknown father. She is punished by Puritan society by wearing the scarlet letter ‘A’ on the bosom of her dress and standing on the scaffold for three hours. Her hair is a glossy brown and her eyes deep-set; her attire is rich, complimenting her attractive figure. The scaffold is a painful task to bear; the townspeople gathered around to gossip and stare at Hester and her newborn child, whom she suitably named Pearl, named because of her extreme value to her mother. In the disorder of faces in the crowd, young Hester Prynne sees the face of a man she once was fiercely familiar with, whom we later learn is her true husband, Roger Chillingworth. Her subjection to the crowd of Puritan onlookers is excruciating to bear, and Hester holds the child to her heart, a symbolic comparison between the child and the scarlet letter, implying that they are truly both intertwined. Prynne is imprisoned with her child, both of whom are emotionally and physically exhausted from the punishment at the scaffold. The husband, Roger Chillingworth, passes by and is commissioned to be the physician to the two, and remedy them of their sicknesses. She is surprised he had come at such a time where she was at a point of such horrendous turmoil. He demands that she cannot reveal his identity, yet he also wishes to know the identity of her lover, the father of the child. She refuses to tell him. Later in the novel, we discover that Arthur Dimmesdale is the confidential lover. Hester is released from her cell, after which she resides for the next few years in a hut by the sea. Her child, Pearl, is a terribly behaved child, that is indifferent to the strict Puritan society. Pearl is a pain to please, having her way all the time because of her mother’s failure to subdue her to the proper Puritan etiquette. The novel explains that the Governors repeatedly attempt to take the child away from Hester, as she has been deemed unfit to raise the child without the influence of genuine Puritan law and order. These attempts are failed, for Arthur Dimmesdale, the father and minister of Hester Prynne, insists that the child is a bond, a necessity of the young woman who has nothing if she does not have the child. Another influence upon Hester is Mistress Ann Hibbens, who is reputed to be a witch throughout the community. When Hibbens asks Hester to join her in the forest at night to sign the Black Man’s book with her own blood, she insists that she cannot. But if her little Pearl would be taken away, she would gladly join the “witch-lady” in the forest that night, and sign the great book in her own blood.

Pearl goes on about her unrestrained ways, throwing rocks at other children that look at her the wrong way and swearing at them. It pains Hester to watch her child go about the world without companions, for she loves the child. When Chillingworth is at the beach picking up plants for formulas to cure Dimmesdale, who is deteriorating in health, he talk to Hester. He mentions that the magistrates may let her remove the scarlet letter, but she declines. Hester is strong with her letter, having it be a part of her for so many years, and she is willing to take her punishment of wearing it for she knows that she deserves it. Later in the novel, when Chillingworth is at his height of having his way with Dimmesdale, the weakened minister, Hester and Arthur meet in the forest to discuss their future. Here in the forest, Hester removes the scarlet letter, and drops it on the ground. She then removes her cap, letting her beautiful, glossy brown hair shine in the rays of the forest sunlight. Here, Hester Prynne has made a significant change from her somber, drab appearance, to her beauty of days long passed. However, after feeling rejuvenated, she is disappointed to see that her own child, Pearl, will not recognize her change, and, demands that her mother bind the “badge of sin” back upon her bosom. She then goes back to business, telling her beloved Arthur that she will set sail with him and Pearl to England after the Election Day sermon, which Dimmesdale is to speak at. Soon enough, however, the drama unfolds as Chillingworth discovers that the trio are boarding a boat across the sea after the Election Day, and he books himself up to travel with them, since he is obsessed with torturing Dimmesdale. Then, the big day came, and Hester was gleaming with joy in anticipation of a new life without ridicule or guilt. After preaching a powerful sermon, the good minister was walking along with the crowd, when he felt the weight of an overbearing guilt upon his shoulders; a power that he had felt before had grown immensely domineering upon his frail frame. Hester comforted him to the scaffold, and stuck by him to the end, as he admitted his sin of adultery, which shocked the people of Boston, leaving many with their jaws dropped. Eventually, Hester did move back to England with her daughter, and she stayed there for many years. But after Pearl got married, and Chillingworth was long dead, Hester Prynne returned to Boston. The townspeople came to her, some staring in awe, some revering her presence. She had changed so much after she had taken the first step onto the Boston scaffold. After death, she was buried near her lover, Arthur Dimmesdale. On her tombstone, the letter ‘A’ was printed, but the legacy that Hester Prynne left behind made it clear that what it stood for was no longer its original symbolism: Hester was truly an able women.

“A Prophet Before Her Time:” Beatrice Potter Webb, Part 1: Beatrice Webb’s Life Up to 1905-1909 Poor Law Commission

Beatrice Webb

Few political thinkers have influenced British society and politics in the 20th Century as much as Beatrice Potter Webb. She was a prodigious scholar, publishing 11 books by herself, and about 20 more with her husband, Sidney. She was instrumental in the founding and development of the London School of Economics and Political Science, one of the pre-eminent institutions of higher learning in Britain, (1) and was also a prominent Fabian. But perhaps her greatest influence was on Poor Law reform and the subsequent creation of the British Welfare State. Between 1905 and 1909, she served on the Royal Commission for Poor Law Reform and Relieving of Distress. She was the impetus (2) behind its Minority Report (1909) which, more than any other document, influenced much of the social reform in the 20th Century, and formed much of the basis for the reforms of the 1945-1951 Attlee Government. (3) On July 5th, 1947, four years after Webb died, the Labour Government repealed the Poor Laws which had remained in operation since the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. (4) A new system of social benefits, including universal health insurance and pensions for the elderly, were implemented in their place. Beatrice Webb’s lifetime work was finally vindicated. In the same year, Clement Attlee, then Prime Minister, said of the Webbs: “Millions are living fuller and freer lives today because of the work of Sidney and Beatrice Webb.” (5)

This work began in late Victorian England. Beatrice Webb was born on January 22, 1858, the eighth daughter of Richard Potter, a prosperous merchant and railway executive, and Laurencina Potter, an accomplished intellectual and linguist. (6) As a member of the upper middle-class, it was only natural that Beatrice did social work, as it “was…in the eighteen-eighties,….the conventional spare-time occupation for an unmarried daughter of the leisured classes…” (7) In 1876, her elder sister Kate became a rent collector in the East End [the poor areas of London], and a few years later, Beatrice joined her sister. In 1882, she joined the Charity Organisation Society [C.O.S.], an organization committed to rationalizing the numerous charities then in existence to help the poor, and also to arresting what the group’s founders believed was the demoralizing flood of charity handouts to the poor. (8)

Through her experiences in the East End, she gradually began to challenge many of her pre-conceived notions. She began to wonder whether these notions–prevailing mid-Victorian notions–of the morality of the poor were correct. To find out, she began to study the lives and work of her tenants. (9) She compiled information on their life histories, history of employment, salaries, and their families. She used this information to publish, in February 1886, “A Lady’s View on the Unemployed at the East.” (10) At the same time, she despaired of her rent-collecting and charity work, finding “that whatever the answer [to poverty] might be, it was not to be found in urging the poor to pull themselves up by their own bootstraps.” (11) She began to find ethical problems with capitalism, and eventually felt “ethical revulsion” toward it. (12) As a result, she left the C.O.S. in 1886. (13)

She left obstensibly to care for her ailing father, but the real reason is that she wanted to pursue her investigation into the lives of the poor which she began the year before. Thus, she volunteered to be a social investigator for her cousin-in-law, Charles Booth, the founder of modern sociology.

Over the following two years, Beatrice investigated East End dock labor, and the sweating-system and the Jewish garment industry. These investigations further transformed her political opinions. She wrote several articles, relating the experiences of dock and seamstress workers, and was a witness in the House of Lord’s Commission of the Sweating System. In 1889, Booth’s research was published. It shocked the nation: about 30% of Londoners were living below the subsistence level. (14)

By this time, Beatrice was moving more and more toward socialism, finally acknowledging that she was one in January 1890.(15) At the same time,s he became attracted both to Sidney Webb and the Fabian Society, a small group of Socialist intellectuals who favored gradualism [Fabian comes from “Fabius,” the Roman general who used delaying tactics against Hannibal of Carthage.] In 1890, the two met, and shortly afterwards, Beatrice became a member of the Fabian Society. The two would play instrumental roles in turning “…the Fabian Society from a not very notable little group of earnest seekers after truth into a powerful intellectual force armed with a new and eminently practical social gospel.” (16) The two made an excellent academic pair– “one of the most remarkable and enduring intellectual partnerships in the history of the English-speaking world” (17) –combining Sidney’s tremendous memory, recall ability, and attention to detail, with Beatrice’s sense of style and philosophical (18) manner. Within ten years, the pair established for themselves a reputation for excellent scholarship, a reputation that in large part encouraged the Conservative Prime Minister Alfred Balfour to appoint Beatrice to The Royal Commission on the Poor Law and Relief of Distress, in one of his last acts before resigning in December 1905.

Odd Sources, Truth Be Told (Somehow) And The Death Of #SethRich

Update: see below.

Granted. I don’t watch faux newz. Can’t stomach the stuff. For conservative “media” I follow a few conservative pundit twitter accounts, have a look at Breitbart once-a-once and CNN, and then follow liberal blogs that make a point of ripping these nutbags new a$$holes here and there.

(Before you think the worst of me, I’m not against republicans per se. Nor am I against political conservatism. It’s just that I don’t agree with the way these two have so easily jumped aboard the ideology bandwagon–thereby taking advantage of the ill-informed–in the last thirty or so years. It is extremely un-American of them! They have become bat$hit.)

Anywho. There was one story out of the 2016 presidential campaign–above all other stories–that really, really caught my attention. That story has to do with a young man that worked for the DNC and, under questionable circumstances, just after the release of the Podesta/DNC emails via Wikileaks, was found dead on the streets not far from his Washington DC home. His name?

The reason I premise this worst-post with how/if I read conservative news is because, unfortunately, the source for the article that motivated this post, about #SethRich, is in part… Oh God. I guess I have to admit it. Indeed. Oh krapp.

Part of the source is…

Faux Newz

(Throw up. Barf. Clean up.)

That’s right. I read something on a website, via a tweet that leads to a blog post, that has as one of its sources Faux Newz. And I feel kind of filthy right now.

Pause. Taking shower…

As I posted here and here, I quite the Democratic party after Hillary’s loss–and especially after seeing what the Democrats did to Bernie Sanders. But the more I read about the death of #SethRich, the more intrigued I became. Obviously it’s not unusual in the the US that murders go unsolved. But this one had something different about it. I mean, come on. He worked for the DNC. It’s now known that he is the source to Wikileaks of the Podesta emails–if we can believe Zero Hedge. And yet, I’m sure, tomorrow, centrist media (MSNBC, NBC, CNN???) will still be reporting on how the Russians hacked Hillary’s chance of being president or how #Trump is meeting in Oval office and sharing more secrets than ever before… Blah. Blah. Blah.

Pause. Taking another shower….

Zero Hedge is a website I visit once-a-once. Although I like much of what’s posted there, I can’t take it that seriously because you never know its sources and the main publisher is one guy who could be many guys and has the name of a movie character who was better in the book the movie was based on. And so. It’s a good thing that there are still people out there that can differentiate between what is rational and what is irrational. Or maybe not.

Here’s the tweet that caught me today:

Boy, do I hope someday that they can find who killed this young man.

Here’s the link to the Zero-Hedge article:

Rant on.

Just did a google search to check more on this story. Here’s a few links with opposing opinions regarding who did what, who gave what to who, etc.

The force is strong with this one! This cranial band wrap for Grahm is one of the biggest projects we have ever completed. This task was monumental not because of its size, price, or prominence, but because of its sure purpose. It is so rewarding knowing that we are helping a family feel a little better about a difficult situation. To see a relieving smile on a mothers face is much more rewarding than seeing a fleet of amazing vehicles ride down the road. Small things make a big differences. Thanks Grahm!

Improving fitness among key areas for “Green Machine”

first_imgGuyana’s national men’s rugby team, commonly called the “Green Machine”, produced a sterling performance on Saturday at the National Park Rugby Field to topple Barbados 48-17 in their first game of the Southern Zone of Rugby America’s North (RAN) 15s campaign, but the focus has shifted to improvement for the remaining matches ahead.Though the team seemed well-oiled on the day, coach Larry Adonis explained that improving the fitness level is vital for the team going forward.Larry Adonis“The fitness stood-up; I looked at the recovery rate and it was okay; it was about 85% and coming next month it has to be a full 100% firing and really ready to go,” he said.In the weeks leading up to match, many of the players found difficulty in attending training sessions due to work commitments and this could be a correlation to the fitness concern, but the coach is hopeful that the situation would change to allow the team to jell better.With respect to the performance against Barbados, Adonis highlighted that “it was a good game, Barbados put up a good fight at the start; we started to break them down and started to run up the score.”According to the coach, there are technical areas that need to improve to better the performance of the squad.“We still got some areas that we got to work on, especially in the line-outs and the malls, we [are] still a little weak there because they scored most of their tries in those areas, but otherwise the guys put up a good performance and we really pleased with this outcome,” the ruggers coach said.Their next opponent is Jamaica, who was easily defeated by Trinidad and Tobago on Sunday in the twin-island republic, but Adonis explained that the team needs to be cautious of the Jamaicans.“Watching at Barbados, they always come technically sound and we were able to do a lot of the stuff against them, the stuff that we practiced, but coming up against Jamaica it will be a different kettle of fish because it is years now we didn’t face Jamaica so that will be a different ball game, so we still got to prepare and try to get ourselves organised and ready for them,” Adonis explained.With quality players like Claudius Butts and Theodore Henry missing, the coach was asked if an inclusion of other players would be done for the upcoming matches.“Not much changes; people like Claudius Butts might be coming in, but we going mostly with the same squad; you don’t change your winning solution,” he posited.The national ruggers next encounters are against Jamaica on May 21, then Trinidad on June 19.last_img read more

New, Incumbent appointees Struggle for Power in Bassa

first_imgThe appointment of new local leaders in the various districts of Grand Bassa County has resulted in a power struggle between the newly appointed and the incumbents, who are refusing to relinquish their respective offices/positions. Those replaced included Diaplae Statutory District #1 Superintendent Samuel Karmenjay, who was replaced by Worr Administrative District Commissioner, Samuel Moore; Edward L. Beyan replaces Commissioner Oretha Taya of Hoe Barn Township in District #2; Peter Naleh replaces CommissionerJeremiah Gardee of Gorblee Administrative District #3 ‘A’; and James Kannan, who replaces Commissioner James Taylue of Blezee Administrative District #3 ‘B’.Ozinga Gborhwie replaces Commissioner Mathew Gibson of Dogbarn Glaydor Administrative District #4, while Daniel Dayougar, replaces Commissioner David Gborgar of Vambo Township in District #2 ‘A’; Othello Russell replaces Commissioner Agnes Artis of Lloydsville Township in District #1, but a former District #1 lawmaker, Austin Spiller, replaces former Edina City Mayor Etweda Cooper and former Grand Bassa County superintendent. In separate interviews with this newspaper, the incumbents said that they will not give up their offices to the incoming officials because the office of President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf has not informed them of their replacement.“The central government has not informed us via any genuine communication as to whether we have been relieved of our respective posts,” the replaced officials claimed.Therefore, they vowed to remain in their various offices “until the President can officially write us and state the reasons for our dismissal or replacement.”However, when contacted for verification, Grand Bassa County Information Officer Eddie Williams told this newspaper that the replacement of the local leaders was done by President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf through a recent communication.He said Superintendent J. Levi Demman only implemented the President’s pronouncement, which was not his own, as it has been widely speculated.Share this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)last_img read more

5 Benefits of Stomach Massage for Weight Loss and Metabolism

>> Nov 21, 2017

Massages are generally really helpful in many, many ways. I’ve been a regular receiver of massage chair therapy for many years now. So recently I came across some research showing how massaging specific areas of your body is beneficial to the health and wellness of that specific area of the body.

Whereas massages are generally known for anxiety and stress relief, I noticed some effects of an abdominal massage, showing how it’s great for weight loss and better metabolism.

The great thing about a muscle massage is that you don’t need to go to an expensive massage parlor for it; you can easily do it by yourself. Since half of our world is obsessed with finding shortcuts and catalysts for weight loss and metabolism, I decided to do my own research and add my two cents to this by showing how truly a stomach massage can help.

Optimize Your Internal Organs

The masseuse will work on your abdomen in a way that will increase the flow of blood to your digestive organs. Greater blood flow to your organs also increases the amount of oxygen that your organs receive.

The tension in the tissues around your organs is also released. This helps your organs work to their fullest potential. Healthier and optimized organs ensure that your metabolism is above-par as well.

Quick, Effective Digestion

Since many centuries now, people have been using an abdominal massage to improve their digestive capabilities.

Simply ask your masseuse to apply slight, relieving pressure on your stomach area in a clockwise manner. You can even do this by yourself or ask a friend or a sibling to help you out.

This will help the food to move smoothly through your digestive tract and be digested quicker. It will also allow feces to pass by easily through your colon and you won’t have to worry about being constipated.

No More Bloating

When our digestion or metabolism is hindered in some way and not being worked smoothly, toxins and waste products start to build up in our body. This causes us to feel bloated.

An abdominal massage can help remove these waste products from your path and you can enjoy much faster metabolism than before.

Stimulate Weight Loss

Stomach massages are great for stimulating weight loss as well. This is more of an indirect advantage because when your digestion becomes effective, your organs work more efficiently, and your metabolism becomes faster, you naturally start to lose weight faster than before.

This does not mean that you forego your diet and exercise routine, but a good stomach massage will really help you out in making your workout and diet routine work faster.

Increase Muscle Mass

The motion that your masseuse massages your stomach in is really good for building up muscle mass. Increased muscle mass also helps a lot in increasing your base metabolism. Also, muscle mass is a lot denser and leaner than fat so naturally, you lose belly fat as well.

2020-01-11 (Su) MIDIGlocken COMPLETED

I asked my friend Angeliki for help recording the final video for the MIDIGlocken. This project was exciting to her because of our history of automated instruments, which started with a full-size glockenspiel. Unfortunately, I wouldn't call that a success. We have matured as hackers and makers, so when we make our next attempt at a real instrument, I think we will produce something incredible.

Angeliki was delighted to see how my two months of work turned out, and I was happy to have a camera operator and script helper. She has a better eye for photography.

Mufti Muneeb asks Muslims to hold the ‘missed fast’

By: News Desk      Published: 12:07 PM, 13 May, 2021
Mufti Muneeb asks Muslims to hold the ‘missed fast’
File photo.

Former chairman of Central Ruet-e-Hilal committee Mufti Muneeb-ur-Rehman said that the Minister for Religious Affairs had formed a moon-sighting committee of his own choice and the Eid was announced at midnight that was very saddening, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.

Mufti Muneeb was talking to media persons after he led the Eidul Fitr prayers at Gulberg KT Ground in Karachi on Thursday.

Mufi Muneeb said that Muslims should hold the missed fast and people who sat at Aitekaf should also complete their missed Aitekaf.

Mufti Muneeb also condemned the Israeli atrocities on Palestine and in Gaza Strip and he called for peaceful protests.

Surprisingly, former ‘rivals’ Fawad Chaudhry and Mufti Muneeb are on the same page this time and believed that Eid should be celebrated on the Friday instead of Thursday.

Earlier, Fawad Ch tweeted, “At present, the age of the moon in Pakistan is 13 hours and 42 minutes, so it is not possible to see the moon today. This is the option of those who have celebrated Eid with Saudi Arabia, but would it be wise to end the holy month by lying? Let's just say that we have to celebrate Eid according to Afghanistan or Saudi Arabia.”
