Jewish Continuity

Every once in a while you come upon a place that moves you in inexplicable ways.  Its not its beauty, nor its history, or its people or the food… its the combination of it all that makes you pause and think  “I can’t believe I’ve never heard of this place!”

Well, Pki’in is one of those places.  This village of about 4,500 inhabitants lies high above the Pki’in Valley, the geological divide between the Western and Central Upper Galilee in Northern Israel.

The mountainous Upper Galilee has always been somewhat remote, more so in the past, where those who wished to get away escaped to in their time of need.  Many found refuge in these gorgeous mountains and their out-of-the-way villages; Jews, Druze, Muslims and Christians.

The Rashbi’s cave – not much space for two people for 12 years + 12 months, but its a good story

The Talmud tells the story that Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai (the Rashbi) hid here with his son Elazar as they escaped the wrath of the Romans after the Bar Kochba rebellion of 135 ce.  They lived in a local cave for 12 years, where the Rashbi composed his famous kabbalist work, the Zohar, and were fed by a secret spring and a carob tree.  Elijah the Prophet came to tell them of the death of the Roman emperor and to encourage them to emerge.  However, as they looked around and saw that the village people were going about their daily business, they complained and became very annoyed and in return for their arrogance, were punished by being commanded to return to the cave for an additional 12 months.

And yes, you too can pay a visit to this legendary cave! Follow the signs down the hillside stairs and with LOTS of imagination you can re-enact the whole story…

Archaeological evidence  shows the first permanent settlements here began during the Iron Age (circa 1000 bce) and the first recorded Jewish inhabitants begin to arrive towards the end of  Second Temple times (1st century ce).

As a matter of fact, what put Pki’in on the map, so to speak, was that very Jewish presence…  In the early 20th century, as Jews started returning to the land of Israel, trying to build their Zionist dream, a call went out to document continuous Jewish presence in the land for the last 1800 years, from the exile of the Jews till the 20th century.

A lovely, colorful, picturesque village

Yitzhak Ben Zvi, a historian who later became the 2nd President of the State of Israel,  leads a research project to find these pockets of Jewish continuity. He believes that the obvious choices would be Jerusalem, Safed, Jaffa, Nablus, towns with hundreds of years of Jewish presence. However, he soon realizes that none of the bigger cities qualify, since at one point or another, Jewish people were forbidden from living there.

Turns out that only two places had a continuous Jewish presence for 1800 years, the southern Judean hills, around Hebron and Arad and the small villages of the Eastern Upper Galilee, such as Pki’in.  Ben Zvi decides to concentrate on Pki’in because in the early 1920’s, it still had a small Jewish community.  (In 1931, the British census counted 52 Jews living in Pki’in among its 799 inhabitants).

In 1922, Ben Zvi publishes a research paper called “The Jewish Community of the Village of Pki’in” and in it he declares that Pki’in was indeed a symbol of Jewish continuity in the Land of Israel, a symbol of survival, longevity and steadfastness.  Pki’in receives instant celebrity status, and becomes a pilgrimage destination for youth organizations, school field trips and curious travelers.

The village center square, where the ancient spring still flows

Whether Yitzhak Ben Zvi was correct in his assertion that Pki’in has had a continuous Jewish presence for over 1800 years is still controversial, and adds to the mystique of this place.  However, we do have the writings of Italian Rabbi Moses Basola, who traveled to Jerusalem from 1521-1523  and on his way documented his meetings with the Jewish people of Pki’in.

Pki’in’s first Druze inhabitants arrive around 900 years ago with the birth of their new religion and its dispersal around the the mountains of the Galilee and the Golan.  The village’s first Christians arrive in the 14th century.

Margalit Zeynati, Pki’in’s last Jewish resident

Life  in the Upper Galilee during the 19th century was harsh and many of its inhabitants, including the Jews, leave for better pastures. In 1900, only twenty Jewish families remain in Pki’in and after WWI the number dwindles to around twelve.  During the 1936-1939 Arab rebellion, the Jews are evacuated and only three families return.  As of 1949, the Zeynati family is the only Jewish family left in Pki’in, desperately clinging to  hundreds of years of Jewish continuity in the village.

Today, Pki’in is a mixture of cultures, 70% Druze, 28% Christians, a few Muslim families and one Jew… an elderly woman named Margalit Zeynati.

Margalit is the sole remnant the Zeynati family. She has been taking care of the ancient Jewish sites and the synagogue for years, and now she is tired. Very tired.

She has never married and has no children.

Now what?  Who will keep the doors of the synagogue open? Who will sweep the courtyard and welcome the tourists with large tubs of berries from the overgrown tree?

Will this really be the final chapter of  the ‘symbol of survival, longevity and steadfastness’ of Jewish continuity?

Kinda breaks my heart… I am sure Yitzhak Ben Zvi is quite upset as well.

2 thoughts on “Jewish Continuity

  1. The cave used to be bigger. However, there have been many earthquakes in the area and two things were forever changed: (1)the cave has collapsed in, (2)the spring has been slightly diverted so that it is not directly in front of the cave.
    Great post, though!

Truss myths and analysis

This structure would be a stable truss even though it’s not made entirely of triangles.

I’ve shared my undergrad lecture slides on “myths in truss analysis” so often that I’m making my life easier by now sharing them more broadly: Please let me know if you see errors!

Material Property Terminology Tutorial

If you do a web search on the difference between various terms in materials engineering, you will encounter a mind-boggling array of misinformation. The following infographic summarizes basic differences between the following terms: stiffness, compliance, yield strength, rupture strength, ultimate strength, hardening, softening, ductility, rupture strain, resilience, and toughness.  Of course no real stress-strain diagram looks like any of these, but the sketches are exaggerated to help illustrate the terminology.

Tips for writing literature reviews

This posting aims to help graduate students write a good literature review for their qualifying exam, proposal, or thesis.

In the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Utah, the qualifier examination is not a proposal, so there is no expectation that your Qual paper should propose new research.  Your literature review should, however, critically assess existing research in the subject area by pointing out specific limitations of (and, if applicable, errors in) existing published work.   The qualifier paper is meant to show that you can string together a coherent scholarly discussion.   The qualifier paper can have a fairly broad literature review as long as it still limits attention to mechanical engineering topics. The proposal document, on the other hand, should include a literature review that is more tightly related to your proposed research, as your aim is to convince the committee that your proposed work is (1) important to the field of Mechanical Engineering and (2) has not been done. The thesis document should include an updated literature review that suggests no one else has accomplished the same thing during the time you were working on it (or prior to your efforts, but inadvertently overlooked in your original literature review). The final thesis literature review should also thoroughly compare/contrast your own accomplishments with alternative approaches in contemporary literature.

Streamlines, Streaklines, Pathlines, and Gridlines

The above animation aims to be a slight improvement over one on Wikipedia, which (incidentally) does not correctly describe the velocity field that it is depicting. The Wikipedia image doesn’t show a checkerboard of moving material, nor does it have a nice depiction of streamlines.

Before describing this animation, it might be helpful to look at a simpler motion (a rolling body) in order to review the difference between streamlines, streaklines, and pathlines. Consider a simple rigid body consisting of a disk of small radius (shown in gray below) along which it rolls along a tabletop, along with a larger-radius extension of the body (shown in color below) which can dip down below the table surface (as if there is a slot cut into the table so that part of the body rolls under it).

STREAMLINES: These are tangent to the instantaneous velocity field.  For a rolling rigid body, the motion is always circular about the instantaneous center of rotation at the bottom of the wheel. Accordingly, this image shows the streamlines at various points in time as the disk rolls along:

This image of streamlines is drawn not just on the body itself but also on its “virtual extension” in order to emphasize that (for rigid rolling) the instantaneous velocity is circular around the instantaneous center of rotation (bottom of the wheel). A particular set of streamlines is drawn in red. These are the ones that pass through a set of points that are evenly distributed on a spoke of the wheel (shown in black).

STREAKLINES: These are the lines you would see if a magic gremlin were to sit at a given location in space and “spraypaint” the material as it passes by.  Suppose that an assembly line of gremlins (located where you see the dots in the first image) are pointing their spray paint cans at the body while it rolls past. Then they would form the black streaklines shown here at various times:

Important: The streaklines are made by gremlins who are sitting still and spraying material as it passes by.

PATHLINES: Are made by gremlins who “ride” with the material, spraying a record of where they have been (as if we were watching the rolling body from behind a window, and those whacky gremlins would spray paint onto the window as they pass by). Accordingly, here are the pathlines for group of gremlins who were initially coincident with the gremlins in the above streakline plot:

GRIDLINES are any set of lines that are painted on the body like tattoos. Such lines move with the body (like a tattoo).

von Mises: cylinder, circle, or ellipse?

The answer is…all of the above!   The von Mises cylinder is centered about the {1,1,1} direction in principal stress space.  The ellipse that we learn about as undergrads applies only to plane stress (where the third principal stress is zero), and this is just the intersection of the cylinder with the plane.  The circle applies to the octahedral plane, which is the view of the cylinder down its {1,1,1} axis.  This animation should clarify what is going on:

Guest blog: Feel empowered by personal freedom

By Jennifer Draper

23 Oct 2017

Project manager and guest blogger Jennifer Draper, shares her experience of feeling empowered, by being given freedom with a work project.

“Empowerment can be fostered in any employee, of any role or rank, by giving employees small amounts of personal freedom or like Disney – a way in which they can express themselves in their work.”

This point was sparked from a conversation on LinkedIn about how Disney encourages creativity in its team – even adding some of their best one-liners into the official ride scripts. Lazlo Bock (CEO at Humu) wrote, “As a result, employees felt more like owners of the adventure.”

Personal freedom in work can be seen by some as quite daunting and challenging, though this may be down to a lack of freedom in previous roles.

Small amounts of personal freedom within specific tasks can enable a more creative and personal approach. Ensuring the outcome has been made clear to the individual is a key factor, coupled with ensuring that they have the relevant skills, knowledge and mind-set to take on the challenge.

These opportunities of additional freedom within a team or individually can be utilised to push boundaries and personal achievement.

One of the most memorable times I’ve had freedom in a piece of work was a few years ago. I was tasked with creating slide shows for screens on each floor of the head office. Without a brief to use, or any specific guidelines apart from ‘engaging and informative’, I looked to my creative side. I did some research on the company and its past and found some fantastic images taken through the years. The best part of this was finding the first photos taken of well-known team members who had been there for 30-40 years.

I also managed to find photos of how all the buildings used to look and the technology we used. I created a timeline of how the business had changed over the years and looked at previous engagement survey results to see what people wanted more information on. This was then incorporated into a simple and clear format showing our key KPIs and how we were doing in each business function week on week.

The screens were a huge hit, and I felt even more engaged than I did previously. Empowered? Yes! Being given something I could run with was a huge moment. I felt trusted and valued. Initially I was scared and wanted to keep checking that what I was doing was OK, but in actual fact I should have had more confidence in myself and what I was doing.

So, going back to Disney’s quote, I agree: empowerment is achievable, and giving employees a little freedom can help with that. Agreeing clarity of outcome is an essential component and ensuring they have the skills, knowledge and mind-set to take the challenge on. Some may need a little support initially as well as some reassurance that their ideas are on the right track, but once they overcome this and reach the end goal not only will they feel they have added their own unique value, on top of that is the significant engagement you get as a result.

Cycling Day 57: Ulslev To Møns Klint

Click here to see the detailed statistics of today’s cycle.

Now before I start, I forget to mention something yesterday. I got my tyres pumped up in a shop! [That it?] But there’s more… I asked the chap who did the pumping what he thought about the tread on my rear tyre bearing in mind I was going to be cycling to NordKapp.

“Get a new one in Copenhagen.” He was adamant about the matter and he wasn’t just after the business; he was too busy to do it himself there and then. Did I mention that I returned to the bike shop in Hamburg where I paid for the €225 service when I saw the tread on the rear tyre? Can’t remember. That mechanic’s  attitude was that there was nothing wrong with them. I think I need to get them changed… As requested in the comments here are pictures. Top: front, bottom: rear. Thoughts welcome.

Anyway… (and that’s a big ‘anyway’ as it has taken some time to write this; apologies), what about cycling day 57? Here’s the story of what happened.

Determined to keep following Danish cycling route 8 despite the curious nature of some of the signage, I turned left out of the campsite only to find myself returning to the gates about five minutes later to turn right. That was entirely my fault but, alas, the signs were to let me down at the first turn, literally, as the road turned to the left (inland) but there was no sign to confirm this. Turning right would have sent me into the sea and going straight on along the track was, according to the road sign, a dead end. It didn’t even have a little line at the end of the dead end symbol indicating that the road finished but a walking or cycling path continued. What should one do? Well I kept cycling on the road and turned left… Bad move. I think I should have gone straight on as it wasn’t until perhaps half an hour later that I was once again reaquainted with the route 8 signs. All that said, apart from a brief period at the end of the day, for the rest of the cycling the signs were excellent and I could cycle confidently that I was heading in the right direction.

This would be a tale of three islands; Lolland where I had camped the previous evening, Bogo where I needed to catch a ferry to and then over a long, low bridge to Mon where I would hopefully be speniding a night at the campsite at Mons Klint. There was some cracking coastline in the north-western corner of Lolland – including a town of thatched houses (not just roofs) – making up for the lack of attraction of its western areas the previous day so I arrived in the ferry port of Stubbekobing in high spirts. Well, I say ‘ferry port’. The town itself had seen better days (although I can’t say when they were), especially around the area from where the ferry departed. Well, I say ‘ferry’. It was more of a platform that somehow managed to float in water. I arrived at around 11.15am and the next departure wasn’t until midday so I paid a visit to the supermarket to buy a bit of lunch – the now predicatable banana and apple washed down with a bit of chocolate – before returning to wait for the floating platform to depart. There were quite a few other cyclists milling around but in the end the passenger list of the ‘ferry’ consisted of me, three Lycra cyclists out for a Saturday spin, a man in a Toyoto car, his son and his daughter. Actually I don’t know that for certain; he could have been mid kidnapp but the children seemed happy enough so it appears unlikely that I will be called as a witness anytime soon.

The fact that I have gone off on a tangent talking about unlikely kidnapping scenarious is a combination of it not being a particular eventul day when it comes to ‘events’ and me writing this 24 hours after the events. I shall persevere… (You may wish to opt out.) Other touring cyclists! Yes, I saw a few, but then again, too few to mention… [that’s Sinatra for goodness sake; was it really such an uneventful day?]. But I’ll mention them anyway. Shortly before the ferry there was a chap who I waved to and he recipricated. He looked as though he was either about to take a bath in the Baltic or had just done so. I suspect he may have been a (brace yourself…) wild camper. Shortly after the ferry were a line of four women in their twenties. The first three simply nodded acceptance when I held up my hand to salute them as fellow travelling cyclists. The fourth one, however, was curiously very enthusiastic in her wave and she smiled broadly as I cycled past. Perhaps this excessive positivity was begin to wear thin with her friends hence their sullen looks. She did look out of place.

The island of Mon was pretty but at the risk of simply describing the photos below I’ll let you just look at them and you can make up your own mind. Yes, I lost the signs towards the end and a little doubling back was involved but as it was the end of the day I could live with it. My main issue with cycling towards the eastern end of the island was that the wind was coming from the east making for quite a strenous workout on two wheels. For much of the day I was simply using the small cog on the set of cogs near the pedals (is that the one they call the ‘granny’ cog?). Sapping stuff I tell you. Give me a mountain anyday compared with a predominantly flat ride into the wind.

In terms of achieving my ultimate goal of cycling to Nordkapp, cycling day 57 was a bit of a distraction. Around half of the day’s cycling will have to be ‘undone’ on cycling day 58 when I make my way west once again and onto the final island of the Danish leg of my trip, Zealand. However, route 8 does seek out the more interesting parts of the southern part of Denmark and one of its highlights are the cliffs at Mons Klint. I’m now on the very large campsite at Mons Klint but in fairness it doesn’t feel like an enormous site until you look at some of the aerial shots that are displayed around the place. Last night the large area for tents had only a handful of people camping in it and tonight at the end of my rest day I suspect that I may be the only one left. Are the couple in the white Beetle on the other side about to pack up and go home? This is suspensful stuff! Back to the cycling tomorrow, Monday, and a three-stage (i.e day) cycle to Copenhagen. I should be in the capital by the end of play on Wednesday.

  1. I used to ride my tyres until there was virtually nothing left personally, without incident, though that’s probably more about the frugal ex-cycle courier in me 😉 but seriously, I’m not sure which way you’re coming up through Norway but I usually go through Roros myself and you may need a little tread for any snow and ice you encounter. (Plus everything is about to get more expensive the more north you go from now on anyway)

  2. Show picture of tread left… Condensation forms on clear nights due to several reasons. Coldest temperatures are usually about dawn – you breath. It is worse in still air and can be better when cloud cover keeps the heat in the land. Also, dawn or just after, if you camp under hills (or near the sea sometimes) is the change-over time between anabatic and katabatic winds giving relatively still air again which can keep condensate on your tent.

    • Hi. I’ll take a picture later. There is tread but bearing in mind I’ve still got (at least) 3,000 km to ride if rather invest in a new set for £50 and be safe.
      I suspected you might know about the condensation thing! The words ‘anabatic’ and ‘katabatic’ (on the assumption you haven’t just made them up!!) will go in the book… 🙂 Thanks!

    • Yes… I thought you might. I’m considering making a Carry On Camping reference my leitmotif; there was certainly a reference to it in book 2, in book 1 I can’t quite remember but I think there might be. Now I have one for book 3. 🙂

    • Yes, I could (Jim mentioned this idea last week)… but then it leaves an exposed front wheel. I have two heavy panniers on the front and although the ‘drive’ is at the rear, bearing in mind where I’m going, for the sake of £50 I think I’d rather be safe than sorry…

STEM Art Making Challenge

Motivated by the exciting construction of the Hajjar STEM Center, the D-E Visual Arts Department coordinated a STEM Art Making Challenge this spring, led by faculty member Rachel Brusky. All Middle and Upper School students and
faculty were invited to create art inspired by science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Submissions were welcomed in all media, including drawings, photography, digital artwork, ceramics, sculpture, textiles, and videos. The results were incredible! Below is just a sampling of the array of works that were then displayed at the Imperatore Library and are now viewable online at the STEM Art Site: Gallery.

Brusky commented, “While viewing the work, you are invited to reflect on the connections that the artists are making and that you perceive between these subjects. Additionally, this show represents the transition from STEM to STEAM, which incorporates art and design into the study and practice of the STEM subjects.”

Rangers struck by Lightning

Carley Mijovic, pictured recently, was impressive against Adelaide. 187113 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS

By Hayley Wildes

Despite the best efforts of Carley Mijovic and Bec Cole, the Dandenong Rangers were unable to sustain the fight against the Adelaide Lightning, falling 86-80, at Dandenong Stadium on Friday night.

The Rangers were rolling early as Mijovic drained shot after shot. Just over halfway through the first quarter, Dandenong held a 17-9 lead and at the end of the first quarter, Dandenong’s lead was six points, 31-25.

Mijovic’s first quarter was an incredible display of shot-making as she piled on 13 points.

The Lightning started to find their groove in the second quarter and despite Bec Cole keeping the scoreboard ticking over for the Rangers, Nia Coffey was on fire for Adelaide as they took the lead four minutes into the quarter and held a slender one-point advantage at the main break, 55-54.

As has often been the case throughout the season for the Rangers, once the second half kicks off, their offence just doesn’t show up. This was again the case on Friday night.

Despite solid defence, the Rangers simply couldn’t make the shots they so desperately craved in a frustrating third quarter performance.

With the game tied at 66-all with just over three minutes remaining in the term, the Rangers were well and truly in the game but a 7-2 Adelaide run had the Lightning possessing all of the momentum heading into the final term.

With both teams struggling on offence, the Rangers hung around and when Rach Jarry drained a pair of free throws with 2:19 remaining, Dandenong was just two points adrift, 82-80.

Unfortunately, the Lightning was the only team able to score in the final two minutes and the Rangers fell short, 86-80, as Adelaide made key buckets down the stretch.

The Rangers scored just 26 points the second half, highlighting their woes on the offensive end when the game is on the line.

With many of their teammates struggling to score, Carley Mijovic (26 points and 9 rebounds) and Bec Cole (21 points and 3 assists) were Dandenong’s most impressive players as they did all they could to keep the Rangers within striking distance.

Adelaide’s depth was too much though, led by Nia Coffey (18 points and 3 assists) and Kayla Alexander (12 points and 11 rebounds).

The Rangers fall to 4-6 on the season, with a match-up against Perth on Sunday at Dandenong Stadium from 3pm.

If you don’t have a credit score, you can easily begin to build strong credit.

Even if you don’t need to borrow money right now, remember that building good credit is the key to getting approved for mortgages and auto loans with low interest rates. By building credit now, you put yourself in a good position if you want to buy a car or home in the future.

Ways to build a credit score

One of the easiest ways to start building credit is to apply for a credit card.

If you have a relationship with a bank, they may be able to recommend a credit card for you. Credit cards with low limits are easier to qualify for, and also make it easier for you to build good credit habits.

Once you get a card, put small charges on it that you can pay off in full every month. This will start adding points to your credit score.

If you have trouble getting a credit card because of your lack of credit, there are other options for you.

A secured credit card is easier to obtain. They’re usually linked to a savings account and limited by the amount in the linked account. However, not all lenders report secured credit cards to the credit reporting agencies, so make sure to ask your lender if they do.

Another way to build credit from scratch is to become an authorized user on someone else’s account, or open a joint account with someone with a good credit history.

Keep in mind that on a joint account, just as good behavior affects both of you, bad behavior affects both of you.

You can also begin to build credit through loans.

Making on-time payments on student loans, auto loans, or secured loans are all great ways to build credit. Auto loans are some of the easiest loans to obtain, but be aware of the interest rate and terms—they can be high for borrowers with no credit.

You can also borrow money from non-profit lending circles. Organizations like the Mission Asset Fund are growing in popularity, and provide an affordable option for borrowers who need to build a positive credit history.

There are plenty of easy ways to start building credit. All you have to do is start!

Day 9 of 2017 Stanley Quips: Chelsea Haggard

Danny Murphy/Icon Sportswire

Throughout the season, there have been hints that the landscape of the NHL could be changing rapidly. Pittsburgh is now seen as the standard bearers of how to play the game thanks to Mike Sullivan’s fun-and-gun style and lightning-quick tape-to-tape passing. Toronto seems to be following suit and is an elite defender or two away from really making some noise.

On the other end of the spectrum. Los Angeles really painted themselves in a corner thanks to horrific salary cap management post-2014. San Jose seems to finally have their core group look a little-too battered and their younger players just don’t look good enough to carry them through in the long term. Lastly, even if they win the Stanley Cup, it will be nothing short of a miracle if Washington keeps every single key player back next year. Even doing something like that just may not make sense for the Capitals in the long run.

That leads us to the Chicago Blackhawks. Simply put, this team looks finished. If you have read everyone of my articles all regular season, you would have noticed that Joel Quenneville’s team has been the most overrated in my rankings this side of Ottawa. It’s too bad the Senators are rightfully taking advantage of every Boston Bruins injury in their first round series because now I have more energy at throwing jabs on these Blackhawks.

Now Chicago probably should have won Game one if not for the heroics of Pekka Rinne. But beyond that, there was no way they deserved to win any other game this entire series. According to Natural Stat trick, Chicago was 13th out of the 16 playoff teams when it comes to score-adjusted puck possession at even strength this postseason at 47.6%. They also were only able to generate a below-league average 53.9 shot attempts per game during the series as Nashville had an answer to everything Quenneville threw at them. I will admit that during my playoff predictions, I was a genuine idiot in thinking that Calle Jarnkrok was going to miss a couple of games and that would be enough to swing the series Chicago’s way.

Instead, Jarnkrok’s adversary, Marian Hossa was an unmitigated disaster. The 38-year old may have only been bettered by Patrick Kane this series with his 15 shots on goal, but he finished the series with a 44.0% on-ice puck possession and was also on the ice for a shocking 67.0 shot attempts against per hour. Along with that, he finished with traditional box car stats of zero points and a -4 plus-minus (whatever that is worth). Hossa wasn’t even the worst on-ice defender in the series. Kane is never known for his defense, but along with him, all of Chicago’s top four defensemen in Duncan Keith, Brent Seabrook, Nicklas Hjalmarsson and Johnny Oduya gave up over 70 shot attempts per hour when they were on the ice at even strength. They simply had no answer to Nashville’s top forward line of Ryan Johansen, Viktor Arvidsson and Ryan Johansen.

Along with that, Nashville’s was much more balanced in their attach with 11 players getting six shots on goal or more and six of them reaching double digits in that category. For Chicago, Kane, Hossa, Jonathan Toews and Artemi Panarin were the only players to generate more than 10 shots on net.

The depth on offense is just simply not as good as it used to be. Remember when this team had Brandon Saad as the perfect winger for Toews and Hossa on the top line? Or that Andrew Ladd and Teuvo Teravainen were getting third line minutes and that Kris Versteeg would sometimes be a healthy scratch? How about Patrick Sharp being a Canadian Olympian and a second line forward? Or Andrew Shaw being the Western Conference’s answer to Brad Marchand at his best? Or that there was no pressure on Marcus Kruger to generate good puck possession on the fourth line because all that talent scared the opposition’s best skaters away from him? Depth always finds a way to win Stanley Cups and those previous iterations of the Blackhawks set the standard of what they need to win it again.

Nowadays, Hossa, Seabrook, Oduya and Keith are all well on the wrong side of 30 and most are stuck on long term contracts that no NHL team wants to take out of Chicago’s hands. Kane and Toews are at the prime of their careers but there is no doubt that their seven-figure cap hits that will last another six years will cripple any flexibility in the long term, especially if both star players lose a step or three. Artem Anisimov also is probably getting paid way too much money for too many years on the basis of whether or not he can LEAD a line in comparison to being a guy that simply feeds off of open ice generated by Kane’s presence.

In the prospect pool, Artemi Panarin will be the man during Chicago’s rebuilding years, but I doubt he’ll get the recognition he deserves because the teammates will just never be as good as Toews and Kane ever had. Along with that, there will be tons of pressure to have Alex DeBrincat become an instant star after the comical numbers he is putting up with OHL Erie this season. Beyond that, so much pressure will be on Nick Schmaltz to continue to improve as a potential top six forward, especially after playing so well with North Dakota and with USA at the World Juniors in 2016. Tyler Motte could be good but he was such a disappointment being away from that dangerous top line and Zach Werenski at Michigan and in his first season as a professional at both the AHL and NHL level. Who knows how good John Hayden, Ryan Hartman and Tanner Kero can be without the evidence that they can be above average hockey players for more than just one season. Lastly, are they any good defenseman prospects out there beyond Gustav Forsling?

Simply put, Chicago has to use future drafts to replenish the prospect pool just like they did in 2011 with Shaw and Saad (and even Phillip Danault, Adam Clendening and Klas Dahlback despite playing on different teams now) and in 2012 with Teravainen. Either way, this is a rough road ahead for Chicago and who knows if they’ll return to their glory days anytime soon.

How to buy OnePlus 6 online at lowest price?

Buy the OnePlus 6 Online at Amazon India

After the reliability and success of its previous smartphones, OnePlus introduces its latest generation smartphone, the OnePlus 6. Available exclusively at Amazon India, the OnePlus 6 contains top-end and industry-leading hardware with the latest software updates.

Masters of Glass Design – The OnePlus Way

It’s built to endure, has a premium sense of heft, oh… and it’s made of glass. Our resident masters of glass used Corning Gorilla Glass 5 on both the front and back for an incredibly resilient and malleable build. A subtle curvature creates an uninterrupted body that plays with light and shadow to create patterns and highlights. With its smoothly-rounded corners and gently curved glass, the OnePlus 6 impresses from every angle.

More RAM, Faster Performance

Everything you do on your OnePlus 6 uses RAM. More RAM means more speed. Watch a video, play a game and browse social media, then switch between them in an instant. We want to speed up your experience, so you can do everything you want to do in less time. That’s why we love RAM.

The Speed to do more

We’d need a hundred pages to explain exactly what makes the OnePlus 6’s hardware so fast. All you need to know is that the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 speeds up performance by 30% and lowers power consumption by 10%. This means you get more out of every minute, and more minutes out of every charge.

Total View

Our screen displays more content than ever before on a OnePlus device, offering a truly immersive experience. To keep the device slim and ensure a comfortable grip, the Optic AMOLED display makes optimal use of the front of the device with minimal bezels.

Full Gesture Control

Enhance your immersion with all-new gesture controls. Intuitive gestures make it easier than ever to navigate your device, while delivering a cleaner display and freeing up space on the home screen. Use gestures to return home, open recent apps, browse through your app drawer and more.

Get Free Samples Volume Fourteen

Nothing beats completely free offers. Sometimes, there really is no catch to obtaining free items. You just have to know where to look and how to find them. Welcome to the fourteenth installment of items I’ve received for free. Past articles feature different freebies. The offers at times come in emails. Sometimes, you will see them on a blog or the direct brand’s website. Other times, you can find free offers on social media or even through snail mail. My Free Samples Page provides more information on sample opportunities. Offers can at times come by phone, but I never answer numbers I do not recognize. I will miss out on any that come that way.

Most of these freebies came from or There are similar sites, but those are the only ones I’ve signed up for. I’d stop short of endorsing either (so they are direct links), because I only receive about a quarter of the freebies I apply for from their links. If you want a chance at getting freebies and are okay providing your information knowing less than 25% will arrive, you could sign up. These companies and companies like them probably get these offers through an affiliate of some sort. For the 75% that never arrive, they are likely phishing for personal information or get overwhelmed by receiving more requests than they anticipated. Either way, I do not like listing freebies for my readers unless I know they will actually get them.

If you see a link for a freebie anywhere on my site, I have received that freebie or a different one from the sender. I will not link any I am unsure of, because as mentioned above only about a quarter actually result in freebies. While I am okay with those odds, I know everyone is not. Those who are can get access to the links directly from one of the sources listed above. Any offers that are still available at posting time get linked below. My front page always lists free samples I am aware of. Offers still available when the product arrives get listed on the front page. These articles are held until I have multiple products, so most freebies are gone before I post. Most freebies are actually gone before the sample even ships.

The Charlotte Tilbury Scent of a Dream sample was a single use card, but I really enjoyed the way it smells. When you order a sample, you rarely know how big it will be. These single use samples are still worth it to get a feel for the product, but they make purchase decisions difficult. I’m not sure I would but it, because I typically like to wear a scent a few times before I commit to it.

I realized as I was looking at the pictures that there is a bar code on the card. It’s possible there is a reason for that, but I threw it away before reading it. Oops. If that postcard allows a free vial for those willing to pick it up, I would have considered it (if it was available at a convenient location.

The Jo Malone freebie took a little to time to redeem, but it was fun. You create an avatar, take a picture, go on a London Lark virtual tour, and then order your sample. It is a Basil & Neroli fragrance.

Screen Shot 2016-08-29 at 10.08.04 PM

The link is still up, but you can no longer order a free sample at the end. If you want to save a cute avatar, it is worth checking out.

The sample is single use, but I really like the card stock printout of my avatar. That was a really nice touch, and I am definitely saving that.

L’Occitane has offered a few deluxe gift sets over the years. I’ve purchased directly from the brand and subscribed to emails, but I’ve never received these free sample offers directly from L’Occitane. In case they are targeted from subscriptions, I’d suggest subscribing to emails. As such, I have no clue how they choose who to send the offers to. Someone usually tells me about these offers, and I get one from that person. That is how I got this one. You can usually send the offer to three people once you receive it, so it is like a game of telephone. Once your three invites receive the offer, they can each invite three people. As you can imagine, these offers disappear quickly, because so many people find out about this freebie quickly.

The offer sends an email for you to enter a L’Occitane store to redeem the coupon. Although the offers disappear quickly, you usually have weeks to pick up your freebie. If you wait until the last-minute, your store may not have any left, so redeem as quickly as you can. No purchase is required, but it must be picked up in person. Everything gets wrapped beautifully in a gift box. This set included: a 2.5oz L’Occitane Repairing Shampoo, 0.3oz L’Occitane 20% Shea Butter Hand Cream, and a 0.14oz L’Occitane Divine Cream. It was definitely worth a trip to the store (for my husband). I sent him to pick this up for me.

I ordered a Shea Moisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil Strengthen, Grow & Restore Leave-In Conditioner and Restore Shampoo. They are foils, but the shampoo is 0.5oz and the conditioner is 1oz. That is a leave in conditioner, so I will need to transfer it to another container. A 1oz leave-in conditioner will last a long time. There was a choice for which shampoo and conditioner to select, but I picked this one to pair the conditioner with a shampoo I already own.

My husband loves coconut oil for many things. He even eats it, but I do not like the way coconuts taste. When I saw this VitaCoco Coconut Oil sample, I ordered it for him. Vita Coco Coconut water is something he purchases often, so I already know he likes the taste (well a watered down version of the product). If I ever try this, I will report back.

The 0.07oz Ren Flash Hydra-Boost instant plumping emulsion is something I’ve wanted to try, so I am not even disappointed the sample is small. I love trying anything that promises to hydrate and plump. Those are my favorite things about any face cream.

“Through thickest gloom look back, immortal shade,
On that confusion which thy death has made.” ― Phillis Wheatley

During a time when black people were discouraged from learning how to read and write, Phillis Wheatley, a Senegal/Gambia-born black girl who was kidnapped and sold into slavery, defied them all and published a book of poetry. She’s not only the first African-American to have a work of poems published (endorsed by John Hancock and George Washington), but also one of the first women to do so.

As a teacher walked down the hall before Advisory, Jadon Bumgarner sat against the lockers with his legs stretched out. Without hesitation, Jadon demonstrated KINDNESS and moved his legs so I could easily pass.

Dr Gina Ismene Chitty – Australian Musician Spotlight

Gina Ismene Chitty is an Australian pianist, composer and author. debussycat had the opportunity to interview her and discuss her latest book.  Dr. Gina Ismene Chitty, primarily an Australian classical concert pianist and composer, has performed in the USA, West Germany, India, Australia and Sri Lanka. She was a winner of a Tchaikovsky Piano Competition held in Sri Lanka and was awarded a scholarship at the Moscow Conservatorium. However, a family diplomatic appointment took her to Washington D.C. where she graduated with a B. Mus majoring in piano performance from the George Washington University. She continued her postgraduate work at the American University and later at Sydney University. Gina was awarded a Ph.D at the Contemporary Music department at Macquarie University in Sydney in 2006. She has performed at various venues in Washington DC, with solo piano performances at Meridian House International, George Washington University and recorded performances on WGMS, Washington DC Radio Station. In Sydney she has had performances of her compositions, as well as major works by well-known composers. Gina has performed as a soloist playing the piano concerti of Beethoven, Liszt and Rachmaninoff.

Dr Gina Ismene Chitty: Australian pianist, composer & author.

Gina’s research for her Ph.d involved analysing Afro Lusitanian music genres in diasporic communities, with a focus on the Sri Lankan diaspora in Sydney, and their ambivalent attitudes toward the dance and music forms of the hybrid baila. Baila is a genre of popular dance music which originated among the Kaffir people (a group whose ethnicity comprises a blend of Portuguese, African and native Sinhalese). Gina outlines the engagement of diasporic communities with the music of their homeland in her book Public Postures, Private Positions. This book includes some of the findings of her doctoral research. The book was released in 2010 and focuses on an interesting sociological perspective, hitherto never addressed in academia. Sydney Sri Lankans are a diverse community, and Gina has a field day analysing and studying the often ambivalent and surprising attitudes of this group towards the baila genre. The more anglicised Sri Lankan migrants and the less anglicised migrants have contrasting and different attitudes and ideas about the baila, as do their offspring. Public Postures, Private Positions is an amusing and interesting engagement of diasporic communities with this particular strand of music of their homeland. Gina is presently writing a book The Transitional Motifs in the Late Piano Sonatas of Beethoven as well as a book about Sri Lanka where she addresses the very early years of her childhood, with anecdotes about the quaint community of academics in the University of Peradeniya where her father, Senator Doric De Souza and mother Violet de Souza (former head of the University library) were domiciled.

Public Postures, Private Positions is available from Amazon here and is a must have for sociologists and ethnomusicologists.

Q&A with ChorusOz® soloist Warwick Fyfe

ChorusOz is an exciting opportunity for choristers from across Australia and abroad to come together in an annual choral weekend and bring to life one of the greatest works in choral repertoire. The results are always spectacular. Bass Warwick Fyfe is a soloist who will be performing Beethoven’s Missa Solemnis with this year’s ChorusOz on Sunday 12 June 6pm at the Concert Hall of the Sydney Opera House.  To register to be a part of this year’s ChorusOZ click here. To book tickets click here.

Q&A with Warwick Fyfe

Q1) Have you performed this work before? If yes, which movements do you think the audience will enjoy the most? If no, what are your thoughts about doing this piece for the first time?

I have never performed this work though it has always loomed in my mind like a mighty, distant peak visible through the mists. Performing it for the first time will be an opportunity to immerse myself in a work which has daunted some great conductors as being almost too sublime to approach. I have had epiphanic, coup de foudre moments with great works when I’ve heard them, as a humble audience member, for the first time live, as distinct from on CD. Some works only reveal their treasures when one has abided with them for a good while. Be that as it may, having only ever listened to the Missa Solemnis on CD, I feel it is a work I’ve yet to experience properly.

Q2) What do you think about standing onstage with a chorus of 800 voices?

I expect it will be a mighty sound! I was in a similarly proportioned chorus in 1988 when I was involved in a Mahler 8 in Canberra.

Q3) From your perspective how does Beethoven stand in the context of full choral repertoire?

If he’d written nothing for concerted voices but the final movement of his 9th Symphony, it alone would have qualified him to be regarded as one of the Titans of choral writing. But then there’s the vastly proportioned testimony of the Missa Solemnis too. As a singer, I can see the justice of the criticism that his writing for voices is sometimes awkward, but the effect is sublime.

Q4) What are your impressions of the ChorusOz public choral training programme?

Based on the Mozart Requiem I was a soloist in a few years ago, I sense an enthusiasm from the participants so strong it bubbles over. Nothing could be more salutary for the health of society than such an intense engagement with high art.

Yes, You’ll Actually Be Able To Live Stream The Golden Globes This Year

The Golden Globes will be live-streamed for the first time this year.

NBC and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association reached a deal that allows the network to stream the awards show in a variety of ways, including through its own website, or via its NBC mobile app to pay TV subscribers.

The Golden Globes also will be offered through streaming services, including DirecTV Now, Fubo TV, Hulu Live TV, Sling TV, Sony PlayStation Vue and YouTube TV.

The decision to offer the show via online streaming services marks a recognition of changing consumption habits, and the growing popularity of so-called “over the top” services — particularly among a group of young viewers who’ve never subscribed to cable or satellite TV.

Facebook announced a deal earlier this week that it would stream the red carpet.

Tips for Canvas Painting

Acrylics dry quickly, making it difficult to blend colors and edges. Use a filbert brush to go over the area you want to blend and then finish with a clean, dry brush to soften your edges.

Keep the bristles of your brush in water when you aren't using it to paint to prevent the paint from drying. Never leave your brush soaking up to the handle because it will cause the lacquer to peel away from the wood and ruin your handle. Clean brushes with soap and water when finished and thoroughly dry them before storing.

Colors tend to dry a bit darker, so take this into consideration when choosing your paint colors. When in doubt, choose the lighter color and add layers of it until you reach the color you desire.

Acrylics might dry out natural fiber brushes, causing them to become brittle over time. Synthetic brushes hold the paint well, are less expensive, and are easy to clean compared to natural fiber brushes.

Acrylic paint can be thinned with water or a glazing medium to be used like watercolor.

Masking tape applied over already-dried acrylic paint will not damage the existing paint, thus making it easier to produce a hard or sharp edge.

Glass or high-density plastic makes a great reusable palette because acrylic paints will not cling to them, making clean-up easy.
