The Seder

This book is a Hagadah.which means “telling.” Tonight we will be having a seder, which means, “order”.Through this traditionally ordered ritual, we will retell the story of the Israelites’ journey out of Egypt, eat special foods that symbolize Pesach's many messages, and teach each other the traditions of Pesach, first celebrated more than 3,000 years ago.

An ancient rabbinic text instructs us, “Each person in every generation must regard himself or herself as having been personally freed from Egypt.” for the seder to be successful.

Tonight’s Seder is not just the retelling of an ancient story.Rather, we are asked to actually experience and acknowledge the bitterness of oppression and the sweetness of freedom so we may better understand the hope and courage of all men and women, of all generations, in their quest for liberty, security, and human rights. This haggadah attempts to incorporate the lives and work of each guest, and to relate the traditional story of passover to our personal experiences and to the modern world around us.

In the words of Audre Lorde: I cannot afford the luxury of fighting one form of oppression only. I cannot afford to believe that freedom from intolerance is the right of only one particular group. And I cannot afford to choose between the fronts upon which I must battle these forces of discrimination, .wherever they appear to destroy me. And when they appear to destroy me, it will not be long before they appear to destroy you.

The order of the seder:

Kadesh-the recitation of Kiddush.
Urchatz-washing the hands.
Karpas-eating a vegetable dipped in salt-water.
Yachatz-breaking of the middle matzo.
Maggid-the recitation of the Hagadah.
Rachtzah-washing of the hands a second time.
Motze-the recitation of the blessing hamotzi.
Matzah-the recitation of the blessing al Achilas matzo, eating the matzo.
Morror-eating the bitter herbs.
Korech-eating a sandwich of matzo and bitter herbs.
Shulchan Oruch-eating the festive meal.
Tzafun-eating the afikomen.
Bayrech-the recitation of grace.
Hallel-the recitation of Hallel psalms of praise

Nirtzah-our prayer that G-d accepts our service.

Shin Hye-sun and Kim Jung-hyun as Queen Cheorin and King Cheoljong on “Mr. Queen.” (Viu Philippines)

“Mr. Queen” ended with good ratings and rave reviews as the historical K-drama aired its final episode last February 14. If you haven’t already, here are five reasons why you should watch “Mr. Queen.”

1. Not Your Ordinary ‘Sageuk’

“Mr. Queen” is a fictional story about the 25th king and queen of the Joseon dynasty. But if you think that this is just your typical historical drama with the nasty politics of palace life, then you are in for a surprise.

Shin Hye-sun stars as Kim So-yong or Queen Cheorin whose body is taken over by modern-day chef and playboy Jang Bong-hwan. He finds himself inside the body of the queen after a near-death experience. Despite raring to return to his normal life, he endears himself to many, including King Cheoljong, who was once indifferent to his queen.

If you think history, romance, fantasy and body swap don’t go together, you might have to rethink your judgement once you watch “Mr. Queen.”

2. Shin Hye-sun is a Delight to Watch as ‘Mr. Queen’

Shin Hye-sun has got to be the most underrated actress in Korea. Before “Mr. Queen”, you might remember her in small, supporting roles for popular K-dramas such as “She Was Pretty” and “Legend of the Blue Sea.” She has proven, however, that she can take on a lead role with her amazing acting skills. Her smooth transition from a prim and proper queen to a playboy with a crass attitude trapped inside a woman’s body is funny and adorable. It’s clear when you watch “Mr. Queen” that Shin Hye-sun has embodied the titular role.

3. Kim Jung-hyun Brings Out the Charm

You might remember Kim Jung-hyun as the ill-fated second lead on “Crash Landing On You.” Even then, this actor already proved to be charming that he could hold his fort in a lead role. As King Cheoljong, Kim Jung-hyun is funny and oh-so-sweet. You’ll be rooting that he gets his well-deserved happy ending when you watch “Mr. Queen.”

4. ‘No Touch’ Couple

Chemistry has always been the key to romance K-dramas, but what if there’s a no touch policy between the couple? King Cheoljong and Queen Cheorin make it work somehow. However, their built up sexual tension has led to some of the most intense kissing scenes in a historical drama.

5. Unexpected Twist and Turns

There is absolutely nothing predictable about “Mr. Queen.” For your pure enjoyment, you might need to abandon logic. But hey, this is a K-drama. Everyone is entitled to be happy, even a male chef trapped inside a Joseon queen’s body.

You may watch “Mr. Queen” episodes on Viu.

Features of the Kanechika AUS10 series

The damascus pattern fans across the blade differently on each knife. A total of sixteen layers of stainless steel with a core of AUS10, supplied by the Aichi steel manufacturer. The core is hardened to 60 rockwell, so that the knife retains its sharpness, but can also be kept sharp. The authentic magnolia "D" handle provides a traditional look, but also provides a good hand feel. Balance of this series lies just in front of the bolster and is ideal for the pinch grip.

This knife is also available for left-handers.

Elwin de Veld about Sakai Kanechika

Sakai Kanechika is based out of Sakai City, Osaka Prefecture. This area is well known for its many knifemakers. Some of these knifemakers use sub contractors, who are specialised in their own field. Like us, we specialise in sharpening, they are also small mostly family owned businesses who specialise in sharpening or forging etcetera. Eventually the knife is finished at the mani factory. Mr. Fujii san speciallises in sharpening and is in the knife business for more then 50 years. Fuji san continues to sharpen to this day and with the popularity of his knives, he has been able to bring on new apprentices to make knives in order to passionately pass on his skills to the next generation.

“I’ve had some difficulties with the flow of the times, but I’m really glad to see people who are happy with my knives. My dream is to bring awareness to the quality and sharpness of Japanese knives.”
– Keiichi Fujii

Rugby Injuries

Rugby is one of the roughest sports played today. Many rugby players have a lot of pride for the brutality of the sport and the hits that they give and take. Because very little safety equipment is used during practice and play, injuries are very common. Unfortunately, if the injury is serious enough, it could end the player’s rugby career or even result in a disability for life.

In rugby, injuries are often considered a “badge of courage.” Players often enjoy swapping stories about the injuries they got while making an especially great or risky play. Instead of immediately going to the emergency room for an injury, a player may insist on staying to watch the rest of the match and may even go out with the team to celebrate afterward when he or she should be receiving medical attention.

Like in most sports, rugby injuries are inevitable, but there are certain measures that players can take to minimize the damage so that they can more quickly rejoin the team and avoid permanent injury. As soon as an injury occurs, a player should be pulled from the match and should see a medic. If the injury is serious, an ambulance should be called to take the player to the hospital. A doctor can inform the player of proper treatment steps to take, how long the player should avoid playing to let the injury fully heal, and what kind of physical therapy will be needed, if any.

The key to minimizing injuries in any sport is immediate and proper treatment. As a rugby player, you should always be watchful for your own injuries or for injured teammates, and be sure that all injuries receive medical attention as early as possible.

Online casino bonuses permit the player to practice their ability to manage money in casino slot machines. The free demo slot games provided by some online casino websites enable the participant to learn and practice new skills without investing real cash.

Most of these free demo slot games have different levels of play, so the participant may decide to take part in a particular level of play. Some online casinos offer progressive jackpots which increase by paying greater bets. There may also be smaller jackpots. Complex slot machine games provide the player with more odds of winning big jackpots. A smaller jackpot won’t provide as much opportunity to win big jackpots at the long term.

If you would like to know and practice playing slot machine games with free demo slots, then it would be wise to practice at the real online casinos. Practice makes perfect and it’ll allow you to hone your abilities. You can play online casino slots at no cost and try out different game play strategies to improve your luck in the slots. This may also help you find the best free demonstration slot games to play online.

There are many types of online casino games for free slot. Slots are among the most popular casino games played in casinos today. Free slots have different rules for different game play styles. Some matches have short spins while some have longer spins.

In free play slots, players use real money to place their bets. Players may change from single bet to mix stakes and vice versa. In actual slot games, players hit on the reels or spin the wheels to spin the numbers which come up. After the amount comes upthe reels stop and a jackpot is given to the player who hit the jackpot.

Free casino slot games let you play play buffalo slots for free for play money, which you accumulate by placing your bets on these machines. You might be asking yourself how does the machines do the job. The random number generators (RNG) in the slots utilize numbers generated randomly from the machine software or a programmed computer program. Playing in the free casino slot games don’t rely on luck and chance. Instead, the ability to select the right number combination is more important than luck in regards to winning.

A lot of men and women are attracted to the possibility of enjoying slots for no money. Even though this might seem like an easy way to start with internet gambling, it is not at all what it sounds like. In fact, you will have to get prepared for the risks involved in gambling online. Real money playing requires a great deal of discipline, particularly when you’re only starting.

Free online slot machines possess many benefits over slots. For one, absolutely free slots possess a random number generator (RNG). This means that every time you spin the reels, then a random number is created. This is much different from traditional video slots, which utilize a pre-recorded video sequence for the specific same purpose. You’ll realize that free internet slots have fewer, if any, mechanical errors that tend to impact the results of your spins.

Totally free internet slots also offer a variety of bonus games. These bonus matches are intended to draw you to the casino. Some of the free play casino games include: pay-to-spin, coveralls, slot mix, bean bag toss, and much more. Bonus games increase your odds of winning by supplying you with more of everything you would expect to see on a slot machine, but they do not cost any money and they’re completely risk free.

Video slots are developed for real money play. They offer no free play casino games, but the majority of them do offer you the opportunity to spin reels and try your luck at winning the jackpot. There are very few disadvantages to playing slot machines on the internet as opposed to in land-based casinos. If you love playing video slots, you should definitely explore buying casinos that are online.

DDR5 vs DDR4 RAM: Quad-Channel and On-Die ECC Explained

With Intel’s 12th Gen Alder Lake-S processors slated to launch by the end of the year, the next generation of DRAM is on the horizon. DDR5 or Double Data Rate v5 modules should start hitting the retail market by the holiday season with speeds of up to 2,400MHz or 4,800Mbps. In comparison, DDR4 has a stock speed of up to 1,600MHz or 3,200Mbps as per JEDEC specifications.

There are many features that facilitate this significant increase in the operation frequency, with the primary ones being the increase in BL and prefetch to 16, doubling of the memory banks to 32 (2 or four per BG) while also supporting the older 16 bank structure, fine-grained refreshes (refresh on a per bank basis) and dual-channel DIMMs:

Burst Length: DDR4 has a burst rate of 8, the same as DDR3 allowing transfers of up to 16B from the cache at a time. DDR5 increases this to 16, with support for 32-length mode, which allows up to 64-byte cache line fetch with just one DIMM.

To understand what burst length means, you need to know how memory is accessed. When the CPU or cache requests new data, the address is sent to the memory module and then the target memory bank containing the required row, after which the column is located (if not present, a new row is loaded). Keep in mind that there’s a delay after every step.

Then the entire column is sent across the memory bus, but instead in bursts. For DDR4, each burst was 8 (or 16B). With DDR5, it has been increased to 16 with further scope up to 32 (64B). There are two bursts per clock and they happen at the effective data rate.

Burst Length

16n Prefetch: The prefetch on DDR5 has also been scaled up (from 8n on DDR4) to 16n to keep up with the increased burst length. Like DDR4, there will be two memory-bank arrays per channel connected via a MUX resulting in a higher effective prefetch rate (see above image).

Image source: Basic Tutorials

Twice as many Bank Groups: DDR5 increases the total number of memory banks to 32 across 8 bank groups of 4 banks. This in turn increases the bandwidth and performance as more banks are accessible to the memory controller simultaneously, similar to how dual-rank improves upon single-rank.

Fine-grained bank refreshes: With DDR4, when the memory cells are being refreshed, it can’t issue further instructions to any of the banks as all are refreshed at the same time. DDR5 allows Same Bank Refresh which improves the effective bandwidth by allowing some banks to refresh while the rest are still in use.

Dual-channel DIMMs: Similar to its mobile counterpart, DDR5 will feature two 32-bit memory channels per DIMM (versus a single 64-bit on DDR4). This means we’ll start seeing quad-channel configurations with two DIMMs. The two channels per DIMM are independent and can issue commands separately. Since the burst length and prefetch are twice as much as DDR4, this will improve the overall bandwidth by increasing the overall number of data transfers per DIMMs.

Integrated voltage regulation: DDR5 reduces both the VDD and VPP voltages from 1.2v to 1.1v, reducing the power consumption. The DRAM voltage regulator has also been moved from the motherboard to the memory modules, reducing circuit complexity for the former.

DDR5 also increases the memory density all the way (up) to 64Gb from 16Gb while also pushing the operating clocks as high as 4200MHz (or 8400MT/s). By adopting a Decision Feedback Equalization (DFE) circuit, which eliminates reflective noise during the channels’ high-speed operation, DDR5 increases the speed per pin considerably.

On-die ECC: The presence of on-die ECC on DDR5 memory has been the subject of many discussions and a lot of confusion among consumers and the press alike. Unlike standard ECC, on-die ECC primarily aims to improve yields at advanced process nodes, thereby allowing for cheaper DRAM chips. On-die ECC only detects errors if they take place within a cell or row during refreshes. When the data is moved from the cell to the cache or the CPU, if there’s a bit-flip or data corruption, it won’t be corrected by on-die ECC. Standard ECC corrects data corruption within the cell and as it is moved to another device or an ECC-supported SoC. (Thanks to Ian Cuttress for his explanation)

Intel Claims the 6 Thread Core i5-9600KF is Better than the 16 Thread AMD Ryzen 7 3800X

A lot has been going wrong with Intel these days. The majority of the company’s product stack based on the 14nm node is facing severe shortages. As for the upcoming 10nm Ice Lake chips, the yields are just not good enough (yet). The solution? Deceptive marketing and misleading campaigns to coax unknowing buyers into buying their chips. Thankfully, the internet helps a great deal in exposing such false promises. A while back I had reported that Intel was misleading consumers in South East Asia, comparing the Core i3-8145U to the Ryzen 7 3700U. The former is a dual-core chip while the latter is a quad-core part with similar IPC. Comparing the two is just plain crazy.

Just when I thought I had run out of suspicious things to report, Intel is back, with yet another damning marketing claim. This time it’s even worse. The company in a press conference in China stated that the Core i5-9600KF is faster than AMD’s Ryzen 7 3800X. Yes, you heard correct. The Core i5-9600KF (a six-thread part) is being touted as a superior option than the Ryzen 7 3800X (a sixteen-thread part).

And this time, there’s no plugged-in or plugged-out performance involved and it’s widely accepted that the Ryzen 3000 CPUs with their higher thread counts and IPC destroy Intel’s 9th Gen Core offerings. So what Intel’s PR guys were thinking when coming up with these claims is beyond me.

Creds: TomsHardware

That’s not it though. Intel went a step ahead and compared the Ryzen 5 3500X to the Core i3-9350KF. At this point, it’s just getting absurd. The 3500X beats the more expensive Core i5-9400F, let alone the quad-core 9360KF.

Intel has faced a lot of criticism over the past months over their “Real-world” benchmark claims. The company’s been using the textbook definition of the term in their marketing slides, making the whole affair rather absurd.

Then just on the next slide, SYSmark happens to the best way to emulate real-world workloads. Why? My best bet is that it favors Intel hardware. Intel further claims that compute and web performance is better with Coffee Lake despite Ryzen chips beating them consistently in Kraken and Jetstream.

Better performance in games is Intel’s only remaining advantage, but that too isn’t significant enough to forego all the other drawbacks. Hell, when it comes to the budget offerings like the Ryzen 5/Core i5, the AMD chips come out on top, all the while costing less. We’ll keep you posted as this story develops.

Harriet Harman

Member of Parliament for Camberwell and Peckham. Mother of the House of Commons.

Southwark News Column - Speaking up for Camberwell and Peckham

It is a great privilege to represent Camberwell and Peckham in Parliament and an honour to once again be re-elected as your MP and I rededicate myself to serving this diverse and dynamic constituency.

It’s my role to represent everyone - the people who were born and brought up in this area who represent its great heritage and traditions, the young people who have come to set up home here, the people who have come from all different parts of the world to raise their children here, to work hard and be part of this community. I will stand up for all of my constituents and help with any individual problems - whether or not you voted for me.

I’ll stand up for our precious public services particularly the NHS. And I’ll stand up for my constituents against unfairness - like the Bedroom Tax.

I pay tribute to Simon Hughes for his many years as MP for Bermondsey and Old Southwark. And I warmly welcome Neil Coyle as the new MP for Bermondsey and Old Southwark. I look forward to working with him and with Helen Hayes MP for Dulwich and West Norwood who steps into the big shoes left by Tessa Jowell who has retired.

I will work with our dedicated Labour Council who will be even more necessary in the future to take forward plans for jobs and opportunities for young people and progress on housing. Especially against a background of unfair cuts that the Tories will inflict on Southwark Council. I’ll make it a priority to improve public transport in our area, and I’ll work with the Council and schools to ensure that all our schools are good enough to be parents’ first choice. And I look forward to working with our Greater London Authority representative Val Shawcross.

We will hold this Tory government to account. People need to be able to get to see their GP, to be seen in A&E without delay. The Tories made promises on the NHS - when they break them, we will challenge them every step of the way. They are threatening swingeing welfare cuts and we will do everything we can to make sure we protect those who will suffer the most.

I will speak up for Camberwell and Peckham and ensure that we are the most effective, determined voice of Opposition to this government we can be. I'm interim leader of the Labour Party until September 12th and thereafter I will continue as MP for Camberwell and Peckham.

Self Build & Custom Housebuilding Register

Self build housing refers to an individual, or group of individuals, directly organising the design and construction of their own homes. Custom build usually means an individual working with a specialist developer to construct your home. For either option, a serviced plot with vehicular access needs to be available on which to construct the dwelling. A plot could be on its own or part of a larger scheme.

The provision of self build and custom house building plots is supported through Policy H1 “Housing Mix: Market Housing” of the adopted Hart Local Plan 2032.

The Council is required to keep a register of individuals and associations of individuals who are seeking to acquire serviced plots of land in Hart. Joining the Register is by application and a number of eligibility criteria must be met.

The Register is divided into two parts:

Part 1 – comprises local demand for plots. If you want to be entered onto Part 1 of the Register all the eligibility criteria must be met including a local connection test.

Part 2 – comprises general demand for plots. Eligibility criteria must be met except the local connection test.

The local demand on Part 1 of the Register informs the number of serviced plots that we should be providing in Hart.

You can apply for entry to Part 1 of the register if you:

  • Are aged 18 or over

  • Are a British citizen, a national of an European Economic Area State other than the UK, or a national of Switzerland

  • Satisfy our local eligibility criteria

  • Have paid the relevant fee required to enter or remain on the register

  • Are seeking (alone or with others) to acquire a serviced pot of land in the Council’s area for your own self build and custom housebuilding

A group of individuals who wish to register as an association must appoint an individual to act as the lead contact. An association is eligible for entry to Part 1 if each member meets all of the above requirements.

Criteria for the local connection test and financial resources test are contained in the Eligibility Conditions Guidance Note.

Entry on the Register does not guarantee an allocation of a plot as these are predominantly provided by the private sector.

How to apply

If you would like to be placed on the Self Build and Custom Housebuilding Register please complete the Self Build and Custom Housebuilding Register application form. Once you have been notified that your application has been successful, the appropriate fee should also be paid using one of the methods stated below, in order to enter and remain on the register.

An annual fee is payable for an individual or association of individuals to join the register. The fee is payable within 28 days of being notified that your application has been successful.

Thereafter an annual fee will be payable to remain on the register during the subsequent 31 October – 30 October period.

The annual fees are shown in the table below:

Type of fee

Inclusion fee - Part 1

Inclusion fee - Part 2

Annual fee - Part 1

Annual fee - Part 2

*Includes applications from a couple or 2 or more members of one household, but each member must meet the local connection test to be entered onto Part 1 of the Register.

The Council is entitled to refuse entry onto the Register until the fee is paid, or not paid within the stated time period. Once a fee is paid it cannot be refunded.

On the register

Once you are on the Register we may contact you from time to time with updates about the self build and custom housebuilding initiative, including providing details of serviced plots which are granted planning permission.

The Register will not be a public document, but we will publish headline data annually, such as number of plots required by location.

For more helpful resources on self build and custom housebuilding view our information guide.

If you have any queries about the self build and custom housebuilding register, if your details or circumstances change, or you wish to be removed from the register, please contact:

Caring for Your Dog’s Coat

Coat care basics include brushing, bathing, regular inspections and a healthy diet.

There are many factors that contribute to the health of your dog's skin and coat. Because specific needs tend to be breed dependent, researching your pet's coat-care needs will pay off. For example, some dogs have a "double coat": an outer or guard coat plus an undercoat. An uninformed pet parent may unknowingly neglect the undercoat, resulting in painful mats condition that could require professional attention. Minimize potential coat problems by getting to know your dog's needs and following these basic guidelines:

  • After your dog has been outdoors and especially if he's been in heavy brush, inspect his coat. Fleas, ticks, and other parasites are more common in warmer weather.
  • Also check for skin irritations or dandruff — which closely resembles human dandruff. Dog dander can be caused by parasites and skin infections that require veterinary care.
  • Brushing your dog's coat removes dead hair. Hair shed but not removed can easily form mats which can be painful and in severe instances, affect his heart.
  • De-matting is uncomfortable for dogs. Leave this job to a professional groomer that knows how to minimize the impact of on your pet.
  • Brushing also helps to stimulate the skin and distribute natural oils throughout the coat.
  • Using the right brushes and combs for your dog's hair type is critical. Brushes and combs for short-haired dogs can be much different than those for medium and long coats.

  • Your dog's skin is very sensitive and requires specific skincare products. His hair oils are protective, so gently lather in dog shampoo to avoid stripping all oils from their coat.
  • A proper shampoo will help to stave off many health problems and make your dog more pleasant to be around.
  • Brushing prior to bathing removes loose hair and mats that can trap shampoo against the skin and cause irritation.

  • Building a healthy coat and skin begins from the inside out. Feeding your dog a diet complete with protein, vitamins, minerals and fatty acids is essential.
  • Supplements and treats formulated with skin-nourishing supplements are a great way to reward your dog and care for his coat at the same time.

Your dog's appearance is not the only benefit of a proper grooming schedule. Your regular grooming care will play active role in your dog's overall health and well being.

Killing Desire?

Scene from Assassin's Creed, Unity
On Christmas Eve, I was wrapping presents (probably my least favorite activity in a life full of far too many unpleasant activities) and I was watching the classic film It's a Wonderful Life. In one scene, George, as a boy, is talking to Mary (his future wife) across the counter in Mr. Gower's drug store. George is telling Mary about all of the places he is going to see when he gets old enough, and he pulls out a copy of National Geographic Magazine so he can show her some pictures. I know how he felt. Do my kids feel the same?

I remember (I grew up in the 70s and 80s) seeing a picture that fired my imagination. I remember watching nature programs on old, grainy and square TVs and wishing I could visit jungles and deserts. I remember seeing places in movies -- whether shot on-location or whether they were studio recreations -- and feeling a pull of curiosity.

Once, I worked with a principal who told the faculty: "You have to remember. This is no longer the one-room schoolhouse. We, as teachers, are no-longer able to dazzle our students with stories of far-away lands. Teachers are no-longer 'the sages on the stage'."

Her point was that, with modern technology, the kids have seen more in their early years than we could have have dreamt of seeing. They live in a world that offers so much virtual experience that, I fear, it might really be blunting their cravings for reality. We don't impress them by pulling back the curtains on the wonders of the world. (Well...we literature teachers kind of do... We just have to make kids understand that we are.)

Both of my sons have walked through very realistic depictions of medieval villages; both of them have fought in historical wars. They have wandered the streets of Paris and London and New York City while wearing their pajamas. They have sailed pirate ships and flown planes.

Of course, none of this is as good as the real thing. [Or, is it? Consider the idea that the people who created the Notre Dame cathedral for Assassin's Creed might be consulted in the reconstruction of the cathedral.] But, it is pretty darned good. I've seen depictions of water in video games that make me swear I can smell salt. And, now, we have VR gaming with 360 degree headsets...

Still, VR is not as good, let's face it. But is it blunting our kids' desire to get to the places they no longer have to dream about? -- the places they can now see while wide-awake?

A year ago, I discovered that a large system of wooded trails exists in the town I grew up in. (It is quite well-hidden.) All my life, I had no idea it was there. I found it online, believe it or not, listed as the best trail walk in New Jersey. I think that a video of my face as I walked into it the first time might have been embarrassing. I think I was doing what they call "beaming." Every corner turned; every trail found made me a little goofy with the joy of discovery. With every step, I cannot help thinking that it must have been a meeting place for the Lenni Lenape Indians -- it's a huge hill from which one can see Philadelphia in the distance, almost twenty miles away.

I think it may be the result of a young life of wishing I could really experience things I saw in pictures and films. Unlike my boys, I never got to walk through haunted medieval forests until later in life... With our desire to make better and better experiences in education and gaming, are we extinguishing dreams?

Consider this: teen pregnancy is down. One possible cause, according to some, is "sexting." If the next-best-thing can quell that desire, what can it do to the urge to explore our world?

  1. Hi Chris. Love this post. Just discovered your blog via a search for the Bull Durham story about LaLoosh etc. and came upon your post on it.

    I especially noticed your account in this post about the "trails" and wonder where that is. When you first mentioned it, a remembrance of a similar type spot I had discovered, though not so much walking trails as wide riding trails with secluded forest on either side and virtually no one around.

    I was even more excited after reading on and discovering that your "trails" were in NJ, which is where mine were. At first I thought maybe they were the same and though mine were in Mercer County (I think Lawrenceville but maybe, technically, just outside) until you said "20 miles" outside of Philly. I'm pretty sure mine were further away...but maybe connected in some way.

    Anyway, glad I discovered your site and your great posts. Keep up the good work. You do it well.

    1. Hi, Carl. I'm glad you found my blog! I'm just kind of bringing it back to life -- been pretty irregular with posting for awhile. The trails I walk are in South Jersey. (At least for my daily walk.) Probably not connected to yours because they are pretty self-contained. In the middle of a town and situated around sand quarry. One of two really good systems in SJ, the other being in the Medford area. Only a few miles of trails, but good quality walking! Glad you like the site. I look forward to your perspectives on my posts.

  2. I think we're only in danger of extinguishing dreams if we wrongly tell young people that the things they manipulate pixels to do in video games are actual life experiences

    I've probably mentioned this before, but: when I was 20, I naively met up with my best friend in Europe, where he had been studying. I had maybe $900 in my pocket, meant to last a month. We wandered around with no real goals, but along the way we had run-ins with law enforcement, hitchhiked, scrounged for food, slept on ferry-terminal floors, got robbed, talked our way out of getting robbed again, hiked in the rain through spooky medieval churchyards, met a weird old ship captain, drank beer with a dude from the Swiss army, dropped in on stunned acquaintances who had said "drop in anytime you're in the area," located some of my friend's long-lost family, sang songs about witch-burnings at a midsummer bonfire feast, ate beans from a can on the cliffside overlooking King Arthur's legendary birthplace, and got lost, a lot.

    ...and so help me, I came home a very particular sort of snob, because try as I might, I could no longer find video games or role-playing games appealing anymore. It's not that I thought my experiences were superior to other people's experiences; rather, it was clear to me that any real experience is superior to the illusion of an experience. Your delightful discovery of that hiking trail is more real than the best virtual-reality tour of Notre-Dame Cathedral, and your kids are luckier than many others for having a dad who knows that to be true.

    1. I sure hope I can convince them. I do see, at least in my older sun, a sort of apathy for experience, sometimes. I often wonder if video games are part of the problem. BUT, there are a ton of other factors, too; even how their teachers teach them; the tech in schools; the realism of documentaries... In the end, if you are going to be a snob, an experience snob is the best kind, for sure!

    2. Well, at his age, I was probably in more or less the same place...and I turned out okay! (Well, I turned out. How "okay" I turned out is still a subject of considerable debate.)

    3. Well, from what I know of you, it leaves me at least a little hopeful!

Devil's Tower

In the early 1900s, some say, plantation owner Manuel Rionda built this tower for his wife, so she could look out over the New York City skyline. Others say he built it as a mausoleum or for religious purposes. An underground tunnel connected the tower to his home. According to local legend, the wife was looking out from her tower when she saw Manuel with another woman, and, distraught, she jumped to her death. Since then, hauntings have been reported. Some say her spirit lived on here, and people were pushed by something unseen noises were reported, so Manuel locked up the tower and folks started calling it Devil’s Tower. It is said that the tower was set to be demolished but the plan was scrapped after several workmen fell to their death from it. Near the twer, witnesses say you can still hear noises and smell perfume, and sometimes you can hear a scream as the ghostly wife jumps from the tower or a workman falls from it. The wife’s apparition also is said to appear in the windows as a shadowy figure. Another legend says those who drive or walk backward around the tower a certain number of times (depending on who tells it), Manuel’s wife or the devil appears.

  1. All just a myth.Used to hang out there in the early 80s at night and party.There were 3 small capes on the left & right of the tower.At one time nuns lived there.A narrow dirt road leading to it.It was scary at that time.Lots of tree’s and really dark.I took a door knob off one of the capes.Some LOSER spray painted a blue upside down cross on the tower We put in black AC/DC and Bon Scott lives.My friend made it to the top of the tower and found old cashed checks?Late one night on the back of my friends Xl250 going thru the woods to the left of tower did come across an old big house with a weird shaped built in pool.That is the mystery.A dog chased us and there was a really scary presence in the air with weird noisesMy friends mom used to go there when she was a kid visited the nuns.She is almost 90 yrs.old now.Tried to find that house with the pool day and night and could never find it.

  2. I used to hang out there in the early 80s. The main purpose of it was as a watertower. It provided good waterpressure for the entire estate..fountains etc. If your looking from the 9W the right of the tower was a stone caretaker’s house. It had been modernized inside, with sheetrock walls etc. There was lots of graffiti on the walls and it was obvious that lots of kids went there to party as the caretaker was no longer there. To the left side was a mausoleum he had made for his wife. He later had her buried elsewhere (in Englewood i believe).There was an opening in the ceiling to a small 2nd floor. It was more like an L-shaped hallway from what i could see from the opening. Just east of the mausoleum was a pond. Next to the pond (on the east side) was a stone carriage house. It had one of those turntables that when you pull in your car, it rotates it around so that the car is facing out. A very futuristic luxury item for it’s day. I was talking with someone who used to hang out there as a kid..long before i went there..and he said the caretaker would chase trespassers off the property with a shotgun loaded with rock salt. He actually caught a little salt-shot in the backside while running away one time.

  3. Ok so im from south Carolina but a true believer in spirits i went there later in the night last night but kept my eyes closed and said tjis was a dirt road from beyond the curve and then i felt a sad feeling for tjose who where dead but they are keeping her safe as if lions on a prayer or something but i know its ehat should be respected and such shannagins should be not respect her pleade

  4. I have went there twice. The first time I was with just one friend. We started to walk around the tower backwards and not even half way through our first lap we heard a noise at the top of the tower. I wish I could say I was joking. We sprinted back to the car and drove away. Last weekend i went with two friends and when we got there people were already there. My one friend and i did one lap and nothing happened. When we stood on the grass the air felt warm but then my lips started going numb. When we got back in the car my friend’s lips felt numb too. All of the sudden the car felt warm even though the hear wasn’t on then I got the chills for about 6 seconds. Apparently that means a spirit is passing through you. I couldn’t sleep that night but I will go back.

  5. I was driving by one day at night, where I looked back and in the top left window I could see a shadow that looked a lot like a woman and when I told my family they stopped the car and all looked back and we could see this shadow for about half a second before it was gone, and then the car suddenly turned on again.

Teeth and mouth care

Oral health and head and neck cancer treatment

This information aims to help you understand how the treatment of head and neck cancer may affect your mouth. It may help answer some of your questions and help you think of other questions that you may want to ask; it is not intended to replace advice or discussion between you and your cancer care team.

Your cancer care team may recommend a pre-treatment check-up with your regular dentist (or refer you to a dentist that works with the multidisciplinary team), to discuss side-effects of head and neck cancer treatment and how you may manage these.

How head and neck cancer may affect oral health

Treatments for head and neck cancer, especially radiation therapy, can cause side effects. These issues may arise early during treatment, or be experienced later and persist for the remainder of life. Side effects may affect the teeth, lining of the mouth or jawbone, such as:

Dry mouth (xerostomia): Radiation therapy may affect the salivary glands and change the quality and quantity of saliva produced. This may cause dental decay, gum disease and difficulties with speaking or chewing.

Tooth decay: Saliva is the body’s natural defence against tooth decay. Without adequate saliva to wet the mouth, wash away food and neutralise the acids produced by plaque, the teeth are at a greater risk of rapid and aggressive tooth decay.

An increase in mouth ulcers or inflammation (mucositis): When cancer treatments break down the cells that line the mouth and leave the tissue inflamed, there is a risk of ulceration and infection.

Taste disturbance: Cancer treatments may alter the sense of taste; it is often reversible but may take many months or sometimes even years after the treatment is completed. However, if your work or lifestyle depends on your ability to taste food (e.g. you are a cook or a wine-maker) you should discuss your concerns with your doctor.

Difficulty opening your mouth fully (trismus):
Sometimes surgery or radiotherapy may make it difficult to open your mouth wide. This may be permanent or temporary and may limit your ability to eat normal food leading to poor nutrition. Trismus can also affect your ability to speak and clean your teeth.

Bone death (Osteoradionecrosis):
The death of some of the jawbone may occur in some patients having radiation therapy. Special care needs to be taken after radiotherapy if you are having extraction of a tooth or surgery on the jaw.

These side effects may hurt and make it difficult to eat, speak or swallow. It is important to take care of your teeth and mouth during head and neck cancer treatment because infections can be harmful and slow down your treatment.
Where can I find support?
A dentist is an important member of the cancer care team before, during and after head and neck cancer treatment. Many people only see their dentist when they have a problem, but after radiotherapy is very important to prevent problems before they start. By having regular dental check-ups, side effects can often be prevented or reduced.
  • Before treatment: It is a good idea to have a dental check-up. Your dentist (or a dentist that works with the multidisciplinary team) will check the health of your mouth and teeth and give you a plan to keep your mouth healthy. Sometimes teeth that are decayed are unhealthy, need to be removed before radiation therapy to reduce the risk of problems after treatment.
  • During treatment: Your dentist will look out for any mouth side effects that you may have.
  • After treatment: Visit the dentist every six months for a check-up, the side effects of radiation therapy on your teeth can last for your whole life.
Keeping your teeth and mouth healthy
Good dental hygiene at home is important to maintaining a healthy mouth and teeth. Tooth decay is much faster and more severe after radiotherapy. The following are things that you can do help keep your teeth and mouth healthy:
  • Drink plenty of water and chew sugar-free chewing gum to keep your mouth moist.
  • Gently brush your teeth, gums and tongue with a soft toothbrush after every meal and at bed time.
  • Gently floss your teeth every day.
  • Use high-strength fluoride toothpaste.
  • Use an alcohol-free mouthwash.
  • Reduce intake of foods that may accelerate tooth decay, such as those high in sugar or acid content.

Tooth extractions
Your dentist may recommend taking out teeth that are broken, infected, or decayed. This is because unhealthy teeth may cause problems after radiation therapy such as osteoradionecrosis (bone death). These teeth are usually removed before the radiation therapy starts because bone and gum that has be radiated may not heal after a tooth extraction.

Importance of ongoing dental care
Your dentist plays an important role in your treatment for head and neck cancer. Side effects can often be prevented or reduced through regular dental check-ups before, during and after treatment. After your treatment, you should visit your dentist every 3 months for a check-up because the side effects of radiation therapy on your teeth can be long lasting.

Questions to ask your doctor
  • Will my cancer treatment affect my oral health?
  • Do you think I would benefit from seeing a dentist?
  • What can I do to improve my oral health?
  • Should I be using special products to improve my oral hygiene?
  • Will changes to my oral health be permanent?
  • Will I need any tooth extractions?

A Real Alternative to Laying Off Employees

Posted by Ben MirzaDec 05, 20200 Comments

 A Real Alternative to Laying Off Employees, Try Independent Contracting? First Understand the IRS's 20 Factor Test

The pendulum from employee to independent contractor has started to swing. As Covid-19 plays out in the economy, department heads of healthcare organizations are being asked to cut their budgets. Employers are unsure of demand and how to pay for employee salaries, payroll taxes and benefits.  If there is not enough work to keep an employee working, employers are looking at independent contracting as an option to hold on to the worker. The following are some great ideas to evaluate and implement that can help save money and commercial relationship.

Compensation Models – Independent contracting compensation generally takes one of three forms or a combination there of: (i) pay by the job/task, (ii) pay by the hours worked, or (iii) pay for end financial results. The compensation can come in the form of an hourly rate, a fixed fee per procedure/task, or a percentage commission of the end financial result. Depending on level of uncertainty and the desired goal the employer has in mind, it might be best to come up with a blended formula that draws upon these compensation combinations and that serves both parties best.

IRS Requirements – IRS by far is the go-to authority on whether a person is an independent contactor or an employee, because it means collection of payroll taxes to the IRS. Not all relationships are independent and worthy of independent contracting according to the IRS. See IRS Publication 1779. Even though an employer and contractor may agree to be independent, the IRS will look at the following factors to determine the independence of contractors:

Behavioral Control: If the employer instructs the worker on how, when, or where to do the work, what tools to use, or what assistants to hire to help with the work; such extensive behavioral control make the worker more of an employee and less of an independent contractor.

Financial Control: The worker may be an independent contractor if: the employer does not reimburse the person for all expenses; if the worker realizes a profit or incur a loss in the relationship.

Relationship of the Parties: If there is a written contract that shows the mechanics of the intended transactions/work, that is also an indicia of the independent relationship. However, if the worker receives employee type benefits like insurance or pension or paid leave, then no the person is deemed an employee.

NOTE: Here is a downloadable Word file with the IRS's 20 Factor Test at www.bluwhealthlaw.com – Resources page: https://bit.ly/2zAKxSm

Benefits of an Independent Contractor Relationship – Both the employer and worker typically have more freedom to contract with other. The employer is not burdened with employer taxes; while the worker typically gets paid at a higher rate and has the ability to write off expenses.

We help companies by putting together independent contractor agreement templates, so they can reuse them and lower their risk and costs.  If you have a unique situation that you would like to talk through, call or text me for a free consult at (954)445-5503.

Radon in Drinking Water

Radon in Drinking Water

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas. Radon may be present in both soil and water. Soil is the most common source of radon in your home. Well water that contains radon may increase the level of radon in a home. Activitieslike taking showers, doing laundry, or running the dishwashercan release radon into the air.

Health Concerns: Is radon harmful to my health?

Everyone is exposed to some radon in indoor and outdoor air. Breathing air with radon increases a person’s risk of getting lung cancer. A person’s lung cancer risk due to radon depends on the level of radon in the air they breathe, how long they are exposed, and whether or not they are a smoker.

Over a lifetime, swallowing radon in water also poses a risk of stomach cancer. The major danger posed by radon in water is the risk of lung cancer when radon escapes from the water and is breathed in.

If you smoke and your home has high levels of radon, your risk of getting lung cancer is especially high. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that 86% of radon-related lung-cancer deaths occur among current or former smokers. Learn more about radon, smoking and lung cancer

Source: How does radon get into my water?

Radon comes from the decay of uranium, which is a radioactive element found naturally in the Earth’s crust. Over billions of years, uranium decays into radium, and eventually, radon. Radon may get into groundwater and into your drinking water if your well is drilled near bedrock containing uranium.

Testing: How do I know if radon is in my water?

You cannot see, smell or taste radon. Testing is the only way to know if radon is in your drinking water. The Health Department has set an advisory level for radon in water of 4,000 pCi/L (picocuries per liter) and recommends the following:

  • If the result of the radon in water test is less than 4,000 pCi/L, you do not need to treat your water, but test your water again in five years.
  • If your radon in water result is at or above 4,000 pCi/L, consider treating your water.
  • Test your home for radon in air. Breathing radon in air poses more of a health risk than drinking radon in water.
Because radon concentrations in well water can vary throughout the year, it can be beneficial to test more than once at different times of the year.
About 10,000 pCi/L of radon in water will increase the radon level in air by 1.0 pCi/L. If you have tested both your indoor air and your water for radon, using the Radon Contribution Calculator may help you estimate how much of the radon in air is due to radon in the water supply and how much is due to air entering the home through the foundation. Learn more about radon in air
Treatment Options: Can I remove or lower the levels of radon in my water?
Radon levels can be lowered or removed from drinking water. There are two types of water treatment systems that can be installed. Re-test for radon after any treatment system is installed to make sure levels are below the advisory level.

Aeration System
An aeration system uses a fan to reduce radon in water. This system mixes your water with air inside a tank and then vents the air and radon outdoors away from the house.

Granular Activated Carbon (GAC)
This filtration system uses a charcoal filter to remove the radon from the water. The Health Department discourages the use of GAC systems to remove radon because the radon collected on the filter can pose a radiological hazard to both the homeowner and the technicians who service the system. Install a carbon filtration system with an NSF/ANSI Standard 53 Certification. Search for an NSF/ANSI-certified carbon filtration system

Financial Assistance: Is there funding available to help me pay for water system or treatment?

Vermont Wastewater and Potable Water Revolving Loan Fund
This program, also known as the On-Site Loan Program, is available to certain Vermont residents for the repair or replacement of failed water supply and on-site wastewater systems. The On-Site Loan Program is funded and administered by the Agency of Natural Resources, Department of Environmental Conservation with loan underwriting and servicing provided by the Opportunities Credit Union in Winooski. Your drinking water supply has to be a failed system and you must be living in the residence on a year-round basis to be eligible. The family income cannot exceed 200% of the state median household income. For more information about eligibility and how to apply, call the On-Site Loan Program at 802-461-6051.

The NeighborWorks Alliance of Vermont
The NeighborWorks Alliance is made up of five local organizations offering full affordable housing services for income-eligible individuals. You may qualify for help from this program if you need money to install a water treatment system, drill a well, or repair or replace your septic system. For more information on eligibility, contact the local NeighborWorks Group in your region.

Single Family Housing Repair Loans and Grants
This program offers loans and grants to existing homeowners for well construction, repair and sealing. It's administered by the Rural Development office of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The program is for low-income families who live in a rural area or a community with a population of 25,000 or less. The family income cannot exceed 50% of the median county income. Individuals who are 62 years of age or older may qualify for a grant or a combination of a loan and a grant. Younger applicants are eligible only for loans.

Burlington, South Burlington, Essex Junction, Winooski and parts of Colchester are ineligible for the program. Even if your property is in an eligible area, your eligibility is still subject to income limits. For more information or to find out if your property is in an eligible area, call the USDA Rural Development Office at 802-828-6022.
