Tough Questions You Need to Ask Your Parents About Their Retirement Plans

If you are over 40, there's a good chance you've helped an elderly family member enjoy their retirement.

More than 30% of adults between the ages of 40 and 65 financially support their parents, according to AARP, an advocacy group for older Americans.

Families should have an open conversation about retirement well before there are money problems, according to Winnie Sun, managing director and founding partner of Sun Group Wealth Partners.

You'll need to discuss where your parents want to retire and what they want it to look like, said Sun, who currently helps her own parents with retirement.

Check out this video for a full breakdown of how to navigate the conversation with your loved ones and to learn what documents and accounts you'll need to locate.

Red Sox

Red Sox

This year's baseball season may not be decided by talent or injury-avoidance, but which team most successfully stays coronavirus-free.

The Red Sox have two confirmed cases of COVID-19 in their bullpen in left-handers Josh Taylor and Darwinzon Hernandez, and they're still awaiting word on left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez, who remains at home.

Taylor tested positive when players arrived last week, while Hernandez was diagnosed in Miami, where he remains. Both players must quarantine for 14 days and Hernandez can't fly back to Boston until he tests negative twice, putting their status for Opening Day in jeopardy.

"Anytime anybody is positive now, it impacts what happens at the start of the season just because of the short training camp we have," manager Ron Roenicke said. "We'll see how it goes. Some guys are in their rooms and will throw balls up against a mattress or trying to do anything to keep their arm activated, so we'll see what we can do."

Taylor and Hernandez are considered two of the most important members of the bullpen. The hard throwers broke out as rookies, with Taylor striking out 62 in 47.1 innings and Hernandez whiffing an Aroldis Chapman-esque 16.9 per nine innings.

Their absence, even for a week or two in a 60-game schedule, could make a considerable impact, but teams should get used to such complications, because they're going to be a fact of life in a pandemic-shortened season.

"I want to say I'm confident," DH J.D. Martinez said when asked about the season being played to completion. "But the way 2020 has been, you never know what's going to happen anymore. It's crazy to think that way, but we're all definitely going to do our best and stay as healthy as we can. I think my love for the game is going to outweigh my fear of this whole thing once I get out there."

With David Price the highest-profile player who has decided not to play in 2020, it's clear that health and safety is weighing heavily on the minds of many players.

"David Price, I respect his opinion," Martinez said. "It's a scary time right now, and I'm sure he's doing what he thinks is best for his family. You've got to respect that. You wish him the best, honestly."

Petition Seeks to Expand Food Stamp Benefits for Pet Food

The petition has garnered over 99,000 signatures

A Mississippi man is petitioning the federal government to allow recipients of food stamps to use their benefits to purchase pet food.

Edward B. Johnston Jr., 59, launched a petition asking the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which manages the program, to extend Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits to pets.

Under the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008, households cannot use SNAP benefits to buy nonfood items such as pet food, as well as soaps, paper products, medicines and vitamins, household supplies, tobacco and alcoholic beverages.

In his petition, Johnston writes that low-income pet owners should not have to chose between feeding their families and keeping their pets.

"I am one of those Americans," he writes. "I have only been on SNAP benefits for a few months, but I have been unable to feed my little dog due to government regulations.”

Johnston argues that dogs become a part of the family, and pet owners shouldn’t have to give up their beloved four-legged family member if they hit a "financial rough patch." He notes that a person or family’s financial status can change overnight.

"Pets are also important for emotional support. Being poor is hard enough without being expected to give up your companion. For most people, pets are considered family, not property,” Johnston added.

Wayne Pacelle, president and CEO of the Human Society of the United States, supports the petition and urged Congress to revise the definition of "food" in SNAP to include pet food.

"Even as these families struggle to get by, they embrace their responsibilities as caregivers to their pets," Pacelle wrote in a blog post published on the group's website. "Scarce financial resources do not mean any scarcity of love in their hearts for their animals. People already making tough decisions should not have to deal with even more worry and stress because the government says they cannot feed their animals with the federal assistance they receive."

To qualify for SNAP, a household’s income must be at or below 130 percent of the poverty line. For a family of four, this equates to $31,980 a year, or $2,665 a month. On average, SNAP households now receive about $253 a month, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The average SNAP benefit per person is about $125 a month, the agency reported.

Many beneficiaries of the SNAP program work low-income or part-time jobs and struggle to make enough money to feed themselves or their families, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.

In 2017, more than 42 million people received SNAP benefits, totaling over $67 billion, the USDA reported.

But the program is a divisive political issue. While most Democrats see SNAP as a safety net for vulnerable members of society, many conservatives consider it entitlement spending that needs to be curbed.

President Donald Trump’s budget proposal last year called for cutting more than $192 billion from SNAP over a decade. The administration has signaled it wants to reign in social welfare programs in 2018 as a way to reduce the deficit and has found eager support in Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan and the GOP members of the House Freedom Caucus, Reuters reported.

Parcelle contends that using a limited federal allowance to feed his beloved pet "is not an abuse of the system, nor an affront to taxpayers. It is a matter of survival for animals, and it allows people to have the comfort of knowing that their best friend is not going to have to go hungry."

He also notes that when low-income families are forced to surrender their pets to shelters, local governments and nonprofits often bear the cost of caring for the newly homeless animal.

Given the current landscape, it is unlikely that Congress will vote to lift restrictions for pet food.

Still, Johnson appears to have the support of tens of thousands. By early Tuesday morning, the petition had garnered over 99,000 signatures, surpassing its two previous two goals of 80,000 and 90,000 signatures. It was not immediately clear when Johnston launched the petition.

The USDA did not immediately return a request for comment.

Johnston isn't the first to tackle the issue of poverty and pets. In 2013, a New York-based nonprofit launched a "Pet Food Stamps" program that provided pet food assistance for owners who are enrolled in SNAP.

The organization shut down a year later, citing an overwhelming number of applications and the inability to raise enough money to follow through on what had been promised, WISC-TV reported. "The program was not sustainable," Pet Food Stamps wrote on its now-defunct website.

Many lawyers limit their practices to certain areas of law. However, a lawyer may not claim that he or she is a "specialist" unless the lawyer is certified as a specialist by the North Carolina State Bar's Board of Legal Specialization or a certifying organization that has been approved by the American Bar Association. See Rule 7.4 of the Revised Rules of Professional Conduct of the North Carolina State Bar.

Certification of lawyers as specialists by an objective entity and according to objective criteria fulfills the mission of the State Bar to protect the public by providing relevant, truthful, and reliable information to consumers of legal services. Certification helps consumers to identify lawyers who have experience and skill in a certain area of practice. Certification also helps lawyers by encouraging them to improve their expertise in particular areas of practice and providing them with a legitimate way of informing the public and other lawyers of this expertise.

The specialization program is administered by the Board of Legal Specialization, a standing committee of the State Bar that was created in 1985.

Although the requirements vary from one specialty area to the next, the minimum standards for certification as a specialist include the following:

  1. the applicant must be licensed and in good standing to practice law in North Carolina;
  2. the applicant must be substantially involved in the practice area, usually for a minimum of five years;
  3. the applicant must take a certain number of continuing legal education credits in the specialty area during the three years prior to application;
  4. the applicant must make a satisfactory showing of qualification in the specialty through peer review; and
  5. the applicant must achieve a satisfactory score on a written examination in the practice area.

To find out if a course would be eligible for specialization credit towards initial certification or recertification in a specific specialty area, please send a copy of the agenda or course description to Lanice Heidbrink or fax to 919-719-9353.

Appellate Practice, Bankruptcy law (including subspecialties in consumer bankruptcy law and business bankruptcy law); criminal law (including specialties in state and federal/state criminal law and juvenile delinquency law); elder law; family law; estate planning and probate law; family law; immigration law; privacy and information security law; real property (including subspecialties in residential real property law and commercial real property law): social security disability law; trademark law; utilities law; and workers’ compensation law. The standards for certification in these practice areas are set forth in 27 NCAC 1D, Sections .2100 through .3300.

The initial application must be accompanied by a check for $250. If approved to sit for the examination, the applicant must pay a $150 examination fee.

The certification applications are included in the forms section of this website. The forms section also includes information on when the application period is open. You may also request an application by calling Lanice Heidbrink at the State Bar at (919) 828-4620.

Certification is effective for five years. At the end of five years, a board certified specialist must apply for recertification. There is a $250 fee for recertification. The standards for recertification are similar to the standards for initial certification but no written examination is required. A summary of the standards for recertification can be found here.

The recertification applications are included in the forms section of this website. The forms section also includes information on when the recertification period is open. You may also request a recertification application by calling Lanice Heidbrink at the State Bar at (919) 828-4620.

Yes, if you remain inactive for an entire calendar year. To retain your certification, you must remain substantially involved in the specialty practice area. Substantial involvement is defined differently for each specialty but, generally, it requires that the specialist devote no less than 25% of a full-time practice to the specialty every calendar year. Check the recertification standards for your specialty.

No, during any period of inactivity, you must discontinue the active practice of law. Any statements or representations you make about yourself may not imply that you have an active law license.

You may call Brian Oten, director of the specialization program, Denise Mullen, assistant director, Lanice Heidbrink, assistant to the executive director, or Vee Martin, certification coordinator, at (919) 828-4620.

In Federal Court, if a defendant is charged with a violent crime or a drug trafficking offense, and possesses a firearm “in furtherance” thereof, not only does the defendant get a sentence for the underling violent crime or drug offense, but a mandatory consecutive sentence of 5, 7 or even 10 years.  These mandatory consecutive firearm sentences are referred to by their statutory reference, 924(c) offenses.

For example, if a defendant receives a sentence of 5 years for drug distribution, he/she will get an additional 5 years (10 total) for possession of firearm in furtherance of the drug distribution; he/she will get an additional 7 years (12 total) for brandishing the firearm in furtherance of the drug distribution; or, he/she will get an additional 10 years (15 total) for discharging the firearm in furtherance of the drug distribution.  Moreover, prior to the First Step Act of December 2018, ushered through Congress by President Trump, if a defendant was charge with multiple 924(c) offenses in the same indictment, that individual faced a mandatory consecutive 25 years on the second 924(c) offense.  Thus, two armed robberies in the same indictment could yield at least a 30 year sentence which would then run consecutive to the actual robbery charges—likely well in excess of a 40 to 50 year sentence total.

The 2018 First Step Act “clarified” this 25-year stacking rule, asserting that only if a defendant had a previous conviction for a 924(c) offense did the staking rule apply to a subsequent indicted charge of 924(c).  However, despite “clarifying” decades of misapplication of the law in jurisdictions around the Country, those individuals sitting in prison (prior to this “clarification”) under stacked sentences, or serving sentences induced by guilty pleas because of the threat of a stacked sentence, have no meaningful, direct redress.  But…there may be some daylight.

The 2018 First Step Act additionally modified a statutory mechanism known as Compassionate Release.  Originally, Compassionate Release allowed for the Bureau of Prisons to motion federal district courts for the release of inmates under certain dire circumstances, generally extreme sickness and/or imminent death.    The 2018 First Step Act broadened this mechanism where it allowed for an inmate themselves to seek Compassionate Release from the Courts, without the need of a motion by the Bureau of Prisons.  Moreover, the 2018 First Step Act opened the door to boarder utilization of the Compassionate Release statute where “extraordinary and compelling” reasons exist that are not simply health related, but include a greater and more inclusive calculus for judicial discretion. The breadth of this discretion is being explored throughout the country in light of the current COVID-19 pandemic.

The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals (the Court that reviews the judgments and orders of the Eastern District of North Carolina) recently heard arguments related to the Compassionate Release provisions of the First Step Act and how individuals serving a now unlawfully stacked sentence might warrant compassionate release consideration. See U.S. v. Thomas McCoy.

This is an excellent listen of great oral advocacy and garnering an understanding of the long shadow cast by 924(c) charges in our Federal Criminal Justice system—in both sentences being served and guilty pleas entered under its threat to avoid the risk of a stacked sentence.  This case may provide some relief to those that might not meet traditional compassionate release consideration, but who are serving what would now be unlawful, draconian sentences.  Ultimately, this case is about giving the judiciary meaningful discretion for compassionate release consideration—”extraordinary and compelling reasons” should not be just life threatening, but should also account for justice, equity and fairness.

Ontario and Wayne County Salvation Army assistance programs.

Families faced with a crisis, the unemployed, and individuals who are struggling can receive assistance from the Salvation Army. Several programs, as indicated below, are available for families and individuals in Ontario County, Wayne, and nearby Livingston New York. Resources address basic needs and can assist people faced with a crisis. Apply for rental assistance, money for utilities, food, medications, and other aid from the non-profit.

Housing expenses, including rent and utility assistance, can be applied for at the Salvation Army. In addition to trying to address the immediate crisis, Salvation Army case workers will also try to provide stability and address the cause of the hardship. Each applicant to the Salvation Army in the Ontario County region will receive a face to face interview. The case manager will try to determine if any funds can be provided to address the emergency situation. Explore programs for rental and energy bill assistance. Or get other forms of aid, such as referrals, budget counseling, and really just ongoing emotional support. The social workers truly take a holistic approach to helping the needy.

Some basic medical needs can be met. The centers will usually have information on clinics and health centers in Ontario and Wayne County. While more rare, the Salvation Army may also have vouchers to be used to pay for prescription medications.

Basic needs, food, and affordable clothes can be disbursed. They can be from a thrift store, food pantry, or clothing closet. The thrift stores sell items to the public and they will be gently used. The other main options include a food pantry (groceries and fresh foods) and a clothing closet. Both of these will usually provide their items for free to the low income, seniors, and children. Some additional goods may also be passed out at Christmas.

Disaster relief and assistance is offered. They can be man made or natural. The volunteers and trained personnel from the New York centers offer free food, shelter, gently used clothing and spiritual comfort to the needy. Survivors in a disaster relief operation take priority and they will often be the Salvation Army's first group to assist. They will work with them on meeting basic needs.

People facing eviction or the current homeless can use shelters or transition housing programs. These free and safe shelters welcome all of the very low income and homeless who come to their door for assistance. A number of assistance programs, case management services and other aid is available to single-parent families, men, single women, married couples, and children awaiting placement in a foster home in Ontario or Wayne County New York.

The Salvation Army Transitional Housing resources are available to low income, formerly homeless, and/or unemployed individuals or families who have been in the care of regional shelters for a few months. This will give them time and in effect a little extra support before forging their own path. Also while you stay in short term housing work with social worker or housing counselor on longer term solutions, including information on rental assistance programs.

Family housing units try to end homelessness in the community and address the struggle in families that many people face. Program assistance includes parenting skills education, individual case work, job training and education to address substance abuse issues, life and career skills enhancement, and more.

Senior and elderly programs are available from the Community Care Ministries, which is also known as the League of Mercy. The Salvation Army program of Ontario created a volunteer visitation program providing companionship and comfort to those who are elderly or shut-ins. Livingston and Wayne County seniors can also get help. The assistance programs such as Salvation Army shelters or food assistance programs endeavor to help seniors across the entire region meet their basic needs. It provides them with information on and access to increased physical and emotional security.

Regional Salvation Army centers:

  • 6 Chestnut Ave, Dansville, NY 14437, call (585) 335-3420
  • 235 Murray St, Newark, NY 14513, call (315) 331-3821

Japanese Square Knot

How to tie a Japanese Square Knot. The Japanese Square Knot is a decorative method of joining two ropes that forms a square shape. Due to its symmetry, it is often used to adorn the lanyard holding a whistle or knife and can be used as a fancy way to fasten the waist belt of a robe.

Scroll to see Animated Japanese Square Knot below the illustration and tying instructions.

Japanese Square Knot

Japanese Square Knot Tying Instructions

  1. Form two bights opposite each other in one rope.

  2. Pass the working end of the other rope (or other end of the same rope if only one rope is involved) up through the first bight, then cross over the tops of the other bight.

  3. Now pass the working end up through the second bight and down through the first bight.

  4. Now wrap over the tops of the first bight and down into the second.

  5. Pull the ends evenly, a little at a time on each of the four to tighten down the knot.

Disclaimer: Any activity involving rope can be dangerous and may even be life threatening! Knot illustrations contained in this web site are not intended for rock climbing instruction. Many knots are not suitable for the risks involved in climbing. Where failure could cause property damage, injury, or death, seek professional instruction prior to use.

Mutualistic and antagonistic interactions with animals are known to influence the performance of plants in many ways. Much less is known about how such effects are influenced by the environment and how they translate into effects on plant population dynamics. In this study, we first quantified how pre-dispersal seed predation in the perennial herb Primula veris changes along a continuous gradient of canopy cover. We then used a deterministic demographic modeling approach to investigate how seed predation may influence population growth rate (λ) and how effects depend on environmentally-induced variation in plant demography. Intensity of seed predation increased with the degree of canopy cover, while sensitivity of λ to changes in seed production decreased. This translated into non-linear effects of seed predation on λ along the canopy cover gradient. Despite seed predation rates being highest in closed habitats, the negative effect of seed predation on λ was lower here than in slightly more open habitats. Our results demonstrate that knowledge of the intensity of plant-herbivore interactions does not suffice to infer how animals influence the population dynamics of plants and their distribution. Plant demographic sensitivity and its dependence on the environment need also to be taken into account when assessing the importance of plant-animal interactions. © Oikos.

US 'climate hubs' to save farms from extreme weather

Earth 7 February 2014

The US government is creating seven new “climate hubs” that will help everyday people, particularly farmers, handle the effects of global warming.

The hubs are essentially a combination of real-world and online networks that will operate out of the offices of the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) to connect existing government agencies more effectively. The hope is that the hubs will help minimise the harmful effects of climate change, such as excess storms and droughts, by helping scientists, farmers, ranchers and forestland-owners talk to each other. Without that communication, farmers may not be aware of new solutions to their problems, while scientists may not fully appreciate the problems that still need to be addressed.

Seven major hubs will be dotted around the country, centred in Raleigh, North Carolina; Durham, New Hampshire; Ames, Iowa; Fort Collins, Colorado; El Reno, Oklahoma; Corvallis, Oregon; and Las Cruces, New Mexico. All will be overseen by the USDA.

The hubs will “prepare folks for what we know will happen, so they’ll have a better ability to cope”, says Steve McNulty of the USDA Forest Service Southern Research Station in Raleigh, who will direct the Raleigh hub.

Help for farmers

McNulty says climate change is ravaging the US. In 2007, the south-east battled a major drought like the one California is facing now, with cities such as Atlanta almost running out of water. The 2011 Texas drought has been linked to climate change. In other years, storms like Katrina and Sandy caused havoc, though climate change’s role in those events is hard to pin down.

But things could be better when the next drought or storm comes, says McNulty. There are already techniques to protect the timber industry and cattle farmers in the south-east of the US from a water shortage, including drip irrigation and better early warning systems.

The hubs are spread around the country because each region experiences climate change differently. While the south-east deals with winter storms, the south-west is in the midst of a drought, and other areas are seeing more frequent severe floods.

“USDA’s climate hubs are part of our broad commitment to developing the next generation of climate solutions,” said agriculture secretary Tom Vilsack in a statement on Wednesday.

“The nation is recognising that climate change is real,” says Lindsay Rustad, co-leader of the north-eastern hub. “This isn’t just this week or this month. This is redirecting a significant portion of USDA resources to address the problem.”

Treating the symptoms

However, others think the climate hubs are, at best, a partial solution to the problems of climate change. It would be nice to react well to unpredictable changes in the weather, they say, but climate change needs to be curbed by cutting greenhouse gas emissions.

“The climate hubs are not really about addressing climate change. They’re more about adapting to climate change,” says Laura Diaz Anadon, a science-policy researcher at Harvard University.

It may be that the climate hubs will play both defensive and offensive roles. For instance, north-eastern farmers could start using “cover crops”, plants that are grown on farmland in the off season, says Michael Hoffmann, director of Cornell University’s New York State Agricultural Experiment Station. Such plants can protect against incoming pests, a side effect of climate change. But simply by growing they also lock carbon in the soil, stopping it escaping into the atmosphere.

“Climate change is all hands on deck,” says Hoffmann. “We need all the partners we can get.”

Best visions of the night sky

31 August 2009

Star trails, horse heads and shadowy moons are some of the sights captured by stargazers across the world vying for the title of Astronomy Photographer of the Year.

Horsehead nebula

The Horsehead nebula is a dark cloud of gas and dust 10 million times as massive as the Earth, galloping away from us at 10 kilometres per second.

The gas, dust and other materials within it condense into dense knots, which eventually become stars and planets.

The blue patch at the bottom left are new stars which have already formed inside part of the dust cloud, and the red glow behind the horse head itself is ionised hydrogen gas.

Galactic dust in Corona Australis

The Corona Australis or "southern crown" is a small constellation harbouring the closest known neutron star to Earth.

This photograph shows two dust clouds reflecting the light from nearby stars.

The blue glow tells us that these stars are not more than a few million years old.

The bright spot in the top right is a much older globular cluster of thousands of stars.

Eta Carina nebula

This photograph shows part of the vast cloud of gas and dust known as the Eta Carina nebula.

It takes its name from one of the largest, brightest and most boisterous stars in our galaxy, which resides in the middle of the nebula.

This photo captures the moments after the birth of a new generation of stars.

In the centre, a group of new stars have already ignited, burning off the surrounding gas and dust to form an enormous void in the heart of the nebula.

Orion's bow

The northern and southern lights are among the sky's most spectacular sights.

These auroras are caused by the interaction between particles in the Earth’s atmosphere and a stream of particles from the sun known as the solar wind.

The Earth’s magnetic field funnels these particles down over the planet’s poles, giving rise to glowing curtains of coloured light in the night sky.

Death Valley star trails

Although this photograph appears to show a dramatic shower of meteors, it is actually a 40-minute exposure of the trails made by stars as the Earth rotates.

The three parallel lines near the horizon on the left of the photograph are made by the stars of Orion’s belt.

Venus, Jupiter and moon trails over the Nepean river

Taken with an exposure time of two hours, this photograph shows the trail of the three celestial bodies rising in the sky at sunset.

Venus and Jupiter are two of the five planets which can be seen with the naked eye from Earth; the others are Mercury, Mars and Saturn.

(Image: Vincent Miu)

Blue Mountain star trails

As the Earth spins during the 30-minute exposure of this photograph the stars make trails around the sky’s south pole.

The orange glow at the bottom of the photograph is caused by light pollution from street lights and other artificial lighting.

(Image: Ted Dobosz)

Blue sky moon

The dark areas that can be seen on the moon’s surface in this photograph are vast plains of solidified lava.

These are known as "seas" because they were once believed to be filled with water.

The moon was photographed during the day, through the Earth’s blue sky, giving it the appearance of rising from shadow.

(Image: Michael O’Connell )

Comet Holmes

Comet Holmes follows a path between Mars and Jupiter and can be seen from Earth about every seven years as a very faint object in the sky.

In 2007 it made the news when it briefly became about a million times brighter than normal, suggesting that a crack had opened up in its nucleus, exposing fresh ice for the sun to evaporate.

Shortly afterwards it briefly held the title of the largest object in the solar system, as its coma (the dust ball around the nucleus which we see as a tail) expanded to a diameter greater than that of the sun.

Centaurus A ultra deep field

All the stars in the foreground of this image are from our own Milky Way, with the Centaurus A galaxy in the centre, 14 million light years beyond.

The rusty brown band of dust across the middle of the photo is a remnant from when Centaurus A merged with another, smaller galaxy.

The new competition was launched by the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, in London, and the winning images will be on display there from 10 September to 10 January 2010.

Sean Hannity of Fox News Admits that ‘I Am Simply Not Qualified’ to Give Expert Advice

In recent weeks the Delta variant of COVID-19 has spread rapidly through communities of unvaccinated Americans. That means, of course, that mostly red state and Republican areas are suffering the worst of the viral spike. Consequently, there has been some significant movement among some conservative politicians and pundits who were previously loathe to make any positive comments about vaccines or the benefits of getting vaccinated.

Fox News, Sean Hannity, Coronavirus

Among those who were praised in the press was Sean Hannity of Fox News. Earlier this week Hannity told his vaccine-hesitant viewers to “Please take COVID seriously. I can’t say it enough. Enough people have died.” It wasn’t actually a call to get vaccinated. It was more like a legal disclaimer to do research and make your own decision. Which is a position that would make Captain Obvious blush as being way too apparent to anyone with a pulse.

Setting aside the undeserved credit Hannity received, he affirmed his stance against the benefits of getting vaccinated in a segment on Thursday night. Hannity delivered an extended refutation of the media reports that he previously might have said something marginally intelligent and responsible about vaccines. He certainly couldn’t let that stand. So he devoted a couple of minutes to denying that he ever did something so ludicrous as to advocate on behalf of preventing people from suffering long and painful illness and death.

The fact that Hannity felt it necessary to make absolutely sure that no one thought he would ever stoop to recommending a life-saving vaccine tells you just how committed he is to perpetuating the pandemic, and how afraid he is of alienating his anti-vax audience. He said that…

“I never told anyone to get a vaccine. I’ve been very clear. I am simply not qualified. I’m not a medical doctor. I know nothing about your medical history or your current medical condition. I think it’s inappropriate for me to do so.”

How thoughtful of Hannity to clear that up. We wouldn’t want anyone to mistakenly believe that he cared about the public welfare. But even more helpful was his admission that “I am simply not qualified.” That’s objectively true. However, it’s an admission that doesn’t apply to just his medical credentials, or lack thereof. Hannity also has no qualifications for any of the subjects he pontificates on nightly. He’s a college dropout who rose through the ranks of radio shock jocks to land a spot on Fox “News.” He isn’t an expert on economics, or the military, or health insurance, or climate science, or government ideology, or education, or immigration, or labor, or last but not least, journalism.

Nevertheless, Hannity gives extraordinarily half-baked (if that) advice on all of those matters. and all of his ill advice comes with blatantly biased, ultra-rightist slants. More often than not his advice consists merely of infantile insults aimed at Democrats, liberals, and other ideological foes.

Regarding his pandemic punditry, Hannity claims to be pro-science. However, he has spent much of the last year insisting that the coronavirus was either a hoax, a glorified flu, or a Democratic plot to hurt Donald Trump – who also lied about the virus being a hoax, a glorified flu, or a Democratic plot. For his trouble, Hannity succeeded in contributing to the pandemic’s death toll. A study last year found that higher rates of coronavirus fatalities could be directly linked to watching Sean Hannity.

What’s more, Hannity’s COVID coverage surely had an impact on his Republican audience. A recent Washington Post/ABC News poll found that “Ninety-three percent of Democrats say they either have been vaccinated or definitely or probably will do so; that plummets to 49% of Republicans.”

So while about half of the Republicans who are likely Fox News viewers remain opposed to getting vaccinated, and thus, susceptible to getting infected, Hannity felt compelled to assure everyone that he isn’t advocating vaccinations for anyone. And that’s based on his being unqualified to have an opinion, which is, in point of fact, an opinion.

But if he’s going to bother bringing up the issue on his program, he surely knows that he could book an actual expert and let that person advocate for getting the shot. However, that would require Hannity caring about people, rather than just image and ratings and Trump love.

  1. The flip flops are getting more interesting by the day.

    • Because they are getting more desperate by the day.

  2. Hannity is right, he isn’t qualified. He’s not qualified on ANYTHING! So simply, do not listen to him. period.

North Tulsa Flea Market Open For Business

Friday, June 25th 2010, 3:24 pm
By: News On 6

TULSA, OK -- It's the newest venture to revitalize North Tulsa.

The Tulsa North Village Market opened Friday in the former Northland Shopping Center at 36th Street North and Hartford.

The Village Market is collaboration between the Greenwood Community Development Corporation and Neighbor-for-Neighbor.  It's an indoor flea market with enough room for 20 vendors.

"We expect to fill it in a month," said Reuben Gant, Greenwood Chamber President.

Nine spaces are already filled. Vendors plan to sell baked goods, art, books, and clothing.

"I already have a spot out at the flea market out on Admiral," said Keisha Netoyer, a Village Market vendor. "But a lot of my business comes from the north side. So when someone told me there was a flea market opening out north it was like a blessing."

"What we want to do is one, we want to create the access in the community," Gant said. "And two, we want to help develop pedestrian traffic and awareness of shopping in the community."

Gant says many of the vendor's market products out of their homes and this new venture is an affordable way for them to profit.

"Because there wasn't a lot of overhead expenses," said Jackie Wilkes, Village Market vendor.  "It costs less for me to be able to come from my home and to be able to have a store front without all the overhead expenses."

The Tulsa North Village Market will be open on the weekend for now, but there are already plans to expand business hours.

Utilizing an information specialist and systems to help human rights advocates work more effectively

The Human Rights Centre at the University of Sarajevo focuses on improving access to information for human rights advocates. Staff members have built a strong information system and a central role for an information specialist. Use of this system and of the specialist’s skills has allowed other staff to better and more productively focus on their core programmatic missions.

Establishing a library or documentation unit within human rights organizations can help staff facilitate the flow of information, manage confidential documents, chronicle the organization’s history and improve day-to-day operations. Key elements of this tactic include the involvement of a skilled librarian or information specialist, an organized physical space, a core collection of materials and appropriate software and other information technology.

Human rights librarians have particular skills to offer a human rights organization, including knowledge of technology and of human rights information and documentation. The role of the librarian is to acquire and evaluate materials in relation to the organization’s core mission, arrange them for efficient use and disseminate them within the organization. This last role involves working closely with staff to sort and prioritize information.

It is important to have sufficient space to organize materials and provide for staff interaction. At a minimum, a documentation center includes space for the librarian’s office needs, including a networked computer and shelving and file units. The core collection of books and other resources depends on the mission and scale of the organization. In general, an organization should try to include information essential to its present and future programs.

Finally, an efficient documentation center will have appropriate software (for cataloguing, classification, indexing, and so on) and an Internet connection to allow the librarian to freely access information.

For more information on this tactic, read our in-depth case study.

New Tactics in Human Rights does not advocate for or endorse specific tactics, policies or issues.

What we can learn from this tactic:

Human rights practitioners can often benefit from institutional strengthening tactics that provide new skills, technology or organizational systems.

The work of the librarians at the Human Rights Centre in Sarajevo focuses on the information needs of human rights advocates themselves, allowing them to be more effective by freeing up their time and energy. The Centre is a fairly large and well-funded organization, but nearly all human rights work now relies on timely access to complete and accurate information. When an organization has the necessary resources — even if that involves only to a part-time employee or dedicated volunteer — an information center could help provide that access. The librarians and information specialists themselves, however, may need to employ persuasion tactics to convince the organization and its members of the importance of work that may at first seem peripheral to the core mission.

Twitter Expands Availability of Pre-Roll Video Ads

With video views on its platform growing, Twitter says it is making pre-roll spots available to all advertisers in 12 global markets including the United States.

Twitter says that video views have nearly doubled over the past year and video is its top revenue generating ad format, accounting for more than half of its ad revenue.

In-Stream Video Ads were rolled out by Twitter in April and were designed to run in premium content created by Twitters partners, including TV networks, sports leagues and news outlets.

Now Twitter is saying the in-stream ads will be available to all advertisers, including advertisers using Twitter’s self-serve tools, in 12 markets. In addition to the U.S., the markets are Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, India, Japan, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Spain, United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom.

“Twitter's In-Stream Video Ads connect brands to compelling, brand-safe video content, allowing marketers to capture consumers' attention when they are most receptive,” said Mike Park, Twitter VP, emerging content products, in a blog post.

One brand that used In-Stream Video Ads was Pizza Hut, which used it to promote its Hut Rewards program.

Twitter points to research done by Nielsen Brand Effect, which found that people who saw In-Stream video ads on Twitter were 70% more likely to recall the brand’s ad, 28% more likely to be aware of the advertiser’s brand and had a 6% higher purchase intent.

Other research shows that using In-Stream Video with another Twitter video ad product, Promote Video) increased brand health metrics.

Michael Law , managing director, U.S. media investment at Dentsu Aegis Network said the agency has worked with Twitter with more than a dozen brands. “Twitter's unique value is clear: brands can reach audiences watching premium, brand-safe digital video. In-Stream Video Ads have allowed us to guarantee our clients can reach their target audiences at scale,” Law said.

Alopecia Areata

What is alopecia areata? Alopecia areata is a disease that causes hair loss. In alopecia areata, the immune system attacks the structures in skin that form hair (hair follicles). Alopecia areata usually affects the head and face, though hair can be lost from any part of the body. Hair typically falls out in small, round patches about the size of a quarter. In some cases, hair loss is more extensive.

Behçet’s Disease

What is Behçet’s disease? Behçet’s disease can affect different parts of your body. If you have the disease, you probably have sores in the mouth or on the genitals (sex organs). More serious symptoms can include swelling, heat, redness, and pain in the eyes and other parts of the body. The disease is named after the doctor who first described it, Dr. Hulusi Behçet.

Reactive Arthritis

What is reactive arthritis? Reactive arthritis is pain or swelling in a joint that is caused by an infection in your body. You may also have red, swollen eyes and a swollen urinary tract. These symptoms may occur alone, together, or not at all. Most people with reactive arthritis recover fully from the first flare of symptoms and can return to regular activities 2 to 6 months later. Some people will have long-term, mild arthritis. A few patients will have long-term, severe arthritis that is difficult to control with treatment and may cause joint damage.

What is ichthyosis? Ichthyosis is a group of skin disorders. It leads to dry, itchy skin that appears scaly, rough, and red. The symptoms can range from mild to severe. Ichthyosis can affect only the skin, but sometimes the disease can affect internal organs, too.

Giant Cell Arteritis

What is giant cell arteritis? Giant cell arteritis causes the arteries of the scalp and neck to become red, hot, swollen, or painful. The arteries most affected are those in the temples on either side of the head. These arteries narrow, so not enough blood can pass through. It is important that you get treatment right away. Otherwise, the arteries could be permanently damaged. There is also a risk of blindness or stroke. If you have giant cell arteritis, your doctor should also look for signs of another disorder, polymyalgia rheumatica. These conditions often occur together.

Paget’s Disease of Bone

What is Paget’s disease? Paget’s disease of bone is a chronic (long-lasting) disorder that causes bones to grow larger and become weaker than normal. Usually only one or a few bones have the disease. Many people with Paget’s disease do not have symptoms. However, the bone changes can cause: Bone pain. Misshapen bones. Broken bones (fractures). Problems in the joints near the bones with the disease. With treatment, many people can: Manage their symptoms. Improve pain. Control the effects of the disease.

Keto/Low Carb Homemade Chocolate

This no added sugar chocolate bar is perfect for those who love chocolate but want something with much less sugar!

Here is what you will need:

6 tablespoons milk powder/coffee creamer (unsweetened)

1/2 cup cacao powder

100g/3/5oz butter or cocoa butter (can use vegetable shortening also)

1/2 cup powdered erythritol

So to get started, into a bowl add melted unsalted butter, along with full cream milk powder - this is going to give us that creamy chocolate texture - and this amount isn’t enough to kick you out of ketosis if you’re following Keto. Whisk it all together until its start to clump, next add the cacao powder which is lower in sugar than cocoa and in my opinion has a richer chocolate flavour. Whisk the cacao until it also starts to clump with the butter and milk powder. Finally add in powdered sugar substitute, today I’m using Erythritol which you can find in the stores real easily.

Again mix this in really well and this is when everything will start to come together, at first you might think you need more butter but the more you work the powdered sugar substitute in the looser the mixture will become. Now you’ll notice its quite lumpy at this stage and thats normal, but we don’t want lumpy chocolate - so what I do to get a smoother texture is blitz it with a stick blender for around 5 minutes. It will become much smoother and easy to work with.

I place the chocolate mix into moulds, you can buy these online really cheap and they come in handy for recipes like this, just spoon over the mix and then using a pallet knife level off the bottom and keep the excess for another mould. Make sure you also tap the mould on the bench just to get any air bubbles out and to make sure the chocolate has gone into all the corners.

You can see you can change up the moulds, here Im using a snack size rather than the big block, you use exactly the same method. Place in the fridge for 4-6 hours to firm completely and then take out of the mould just by popping them out. I keep the chocolate in the fridge, it retains its snap when you do and when you bite into it, it will be creamy smooth and full over chocolate without feeling gritty.

Regardless of whether you are on a keto or low carb diet, give this homemade chocolate a try, you’ll love it.

Budget rectification, agreed with IMF

State employees will have their salaries increased by 7.4 pc as of December. The government plans to enforce the differentiated income tax as of 2013, but the maximum tax level will not exceed 16 pc. The budget rectification – at the end of August.

The budget rectification has been agreed upon with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and provides for a second phase of salary increases in the public sector, by 7.4 pc, starting December this year, Finance Minister Florin Georgescu said yesterday at the Victoria Palace, after attending – jointly with PM Victor Ponta – a meeting with the delegation of the International Monetary Fund, European Commission and the World Bank. In his turn, PM Ponta said that the ongoing talks with the IMF did not influence the decision of raising salaries in the public system, as this issue has been clarified during the previous mission of the Fund. Also yesterday, the IMF delegation met officials of the National Bank of Romania, with the talks focusing on the current economic situation of Romania.The MFP official added that the budget rectification will be operated at the end of August, while regarding the five measures of economic recovery he mentioned that there are favourable conditions for enforcing all these measures, and talks will be held with the IMF at the end of this week, after the letter of intent will be submitted to the IMF on Friday. Florin Georgescu avoided saying, at the end of negotiations with the Fund, if the government maintains its economic growth target of 1.5 pc for this year, only mentioning that the budget deficit forecast will not be modified. According to sources quoted by Mediafax, IMF experts will accept and economic growth above 1 pc for this year, despite the poor agricultural output and the economic slowdown of the euro zone, while the estimated nominal GDP will slightly decrease compared to the current forecast, from RON 607.5 bln to RON 607.33 bln, with a deflator increasing from 3.3 pc to 4 pc. Another important matter discussed with the IMF delegation was the government’s proposal to enforce the differentiate tax starting 2013, with the maximum level of the tax not exceeding 16 pc and the minimum being 8 pc. Asked about the impact of this measure upon the budget for next year, the Public Finance Minister Florin Georgescu said that he will not talk about hypotheses regarding the construction of the budget for 2013, because such an evaluation can be made “only based on the specific figures.”All the changes of the fiscal system, with regard to taxes and dues, will be implemented only if approved by international lenders, the head of the Executive assured. He mentioned that the government is determined to keep and observe all the macroeconomic conditions agreed with the international partners, which refer to budget deficit, public debt and structural reforms. Ponta explained that the partners appreciated the adoption of the legislation for the electricity and gas sector, and authorities will continue the approaches in view of listing on the stock exchange and privatising state companies. A special tax might be imposed on the companies dealing in the natural gas and electricity sector, so part of the extra profit they obtain from the liberalisation of gas and electricity prices enters the state budget.The privatisation of stakes held by the state continues

Speaking about the problems of Hidroelectrica, Victor Ponta said that the company “will return to its normal legal status in September – October, much stronger, and will represent a real asset for the state, a positive element we own.” As for Transgaz, the deadline agreed with the IMF for listing the company on the stock exchange is mid-September. Initially, Romanian authorities promised to the IMF that they will organise the public offer for the sale of 15 pc of the company until the end of June 2012. Lastly, in the case of Oltchim, the investor that will be selected will have to secure the jobs, also those of the horizontal industry, and the economic stability of the company.

Charging the VAT the moment when the invoice is paid, starting 2013 at latestThe government will enforce, at the beginning of next year at latest, the system of charging the VAT the moment when the invoice is paid, for the companies with a maximum turnover of EUR 500,000, if payments are conducted via the bank, but the moment when this will come into force is still discussed with the IMF, Premier Victor Ponta announced. Talks with the IMF will continue at the end of this week, he added. Also in 2013, authorities will decide whether to sign a new preventive agreement with the IMF, after the parliamentary elections.

These compounds are often described as emerging contaminants. Once the health risks are identified, accurate analytical methods need to be developed and verified for quantifying these emerging contaminants in relevant samples.

The Biochemical and Exposure Science Group located at the Hollings Marine Laboratory has a long history of developing accurate and precise analytical methods for emerging chemical contaminants and trace elements. These new chemical methods are used by environmental researchers in academia, industry, and government agencies. Under the “Related NIST Projects” tab to the right, you will find information regarding some of the new chemical measurement method focus areas.

1.  Pressure Swing Adsorption Nitrogen making system

Pressure swing adsorption (PSA) is an advanced gas separate technique,it is widely used in gas supply field in the world.

1 .1  Adsorbing material

Adsorbing material is the center part of PSA nitrogen generator,Normally use the the Carbon Molecular Sieve,it can adsorb the oxygen,CO2,water in the air,but can’t adsorb the nitrogen..

1.2  PSA principal

Because O2 and N2 these two gas molecule have diffusion rate difference on the molecule sieve surface,O2 smaller diameter can diffuse faster,most of them inlet micropore of CMS,the large diameter N2 diffuse slowly,less of them can inlet ,use this adsorption difference come true O2 and N2 separate.

PSA N2 making processing

(1) Inlet air:The air compressor press the air into transporting pipe,then use the compressed air clarification system to remove the water,oil,dust and so on,reach to air buffer tank,then pass through air buffer tank into two adsorption tower.

(2) Adsorption: When air inlet adsorption tower,during the pressure function,O2 and CO2 be adsorbed quickly.Formed N2 near the outlet position.

(3) Air outlet :When the adsorption process working in the best status(Adsorption N2:O2 is the smallest,open the outlet valve,transport the N2 into N2 buffer tank.

(4) Average pressure:After finished exhaust,rest some N2 in the tower,so let it into another tower adsorb again with new air.This process is finished when the pressure of two tower is the same,so called average pressure.

(5) Exhaust :After average pressure finished,need to releasing the air which adsorb by CMS to be ready for next adsorption,the programme will open the air releasing valve automatically,let the pressure in the tower back to the original status,meanwhile release the O2,CO2,so than the CMS can adsorb new air again.

(6) These two tower exchange work can got N2 purity 99.9 %

Bad English

Bad Enlish Bad English (Epic) 1989

1. Best of What I Got (4:40)
2. Heaven is a 4 Letter Word (4:45)
3. Possession (5:08)
4. Forget Me Not (4:58)
5. When I See You Smile (4:20)
6. Tough Times Don't Last (4:42)
7. Ghost in Your Heart (4:46)
8. Price of Love (4:47)
9. Ready When You Are (4:20)
10. Lay Down (4:38)
11. The Restless Ones (5:23)
12. Rockin' Horse (5:31)
13. Don't Walk Away (4:29)

Bad English were a "supergroup" comprised of past & present members of Journey (Neal Schon), the Babys (John Waite), or both (Jonathan Cain). As such, I was expecting something akin to Journey; melodic, catchy hard rock. What they delivered is melodic hard rock but doesn't have nearly the personality as Journey
. For the most part the music is either lifeless, over-polished, mid-paced AOR or radio ballads. Overall the album sounds like a product of it's times.

The band did score a hit with "When I See You Smile", a sappy, tailor-made-for-radio ballad. "Possession", another ballad, was also a semi-hit for the band. Otherwise, nothing on this album really stands out. Even after several spins of this CD I was still hard pressed to pick out a standout track, though I would suggest that "Best of What I Got" might be the best of the bunch. Another big supergroup from this era, the Damn Yankees, had a similar sound but managed to infuse more of the individual band members personalities into the songs. Not so much here. Bad English isn't a horrid album but it's not what it could have been either.

Evermoving Onward - Evermoving (Century Media) 2001

1. "The Kindness Of Strangers" (6:06)
2. "Onward" (5:32)
3. "The Waterfall Enchantress" (4:25)
4. "The Last Sunset" (3:20)
5. "Absolution Mine" (4:26)
6. "Witches Winter Eternal" (4:26)
7. "Storm Coming Soon" (4:42)
8. "The Lost Side Of The World" (5:05)

I loaded this disc into my five cd player while I was at work. I think this disc must have been around the fourth disc to play that day. The disc just before it was playing but it was more or less just background noise while I was working. However, when this disc came on, my attention shifted to the sounds emanating from the speakers. I was amazed at how good this CD sounded to me and at the same time I thought to myself that this band really sounds a lot like New Eden. I went to grab the cover insert to check and see if there were any band members who were former members of New Eden, but there are none that I am aware of. Onward, however share that same galloping, dark, power metal sound that bands like New Eden, Steel Prophet, and Destiny's End have. guitar rhythms with an almost gothic feel, flashy guitar solos and an overall 80's heavy power metal sound that may not be overly original or trendy, however, I love it.

Eleanor Blake

Year 3 Teacher

University of Sheffield - BA Russian with Czech

I think the best learning and teaching comes out when one is passionate about what is being learnt and taught. I was very fortunate to have Russian teachers who really inspired me and I hope to bring learning to life for the students.

I have a lot of interests other than my love of all things Russian and academic work. I enjoy extreme sports, such as skydiving or rock climbing. I love swimming and dancing. I also enjoy working with young people and have been involved in the Scout movement for a number of years.

Coming to work for ISM is a fantastic opportunity for me. Firstly, I will be living in a country and in a culture that I am passionate about. Secondly, I am looking forward to meeting and working with lots of new people; staff and students alike. It will be a brilliant chance to teach and also improve my current knowledge of Russian.

5 reasons to activate your savings

Here are five good reasons why it pays to put your savings to work. Our digital adviser Nora will help you get started right away.

1. The right time is now

You may think you need to wait to have more money or want to postpone the decision until later. Perhaps you are worried about some volatility in the markets and decide to wait until “the time is right”. But it’s always a good time to start saving and there’s no need to wait or be an expert.

Sitting on your hands may end up costing you more than you think. Many investors have experienced financial losses because they have delayed important decisions. If you hold off on investing, you can miss out on stock market rallies and returns. How much you invest is beside the point – the most important thing is to make your savings work for you.

Why should I save smarter?

Inflation is a measure of the increase in the general price level.

High inflation means consumers can buy less goods and services for the same amount of money, as the value of money decreases.

2. Time is on your side

In an ideal world, everyone would start saving as soon as they are born. But in reality, most people don’t start putting money aside until they are about 30 years old. You are never too old to become an investor but each second you wait eats away your most valuable asset – time.

That’s why it’s better to start saving early with less money than wait until you’re older to invest a large amount. This gives your money a chance to work smarter, not harder. How does it work? Read more!

Save smart, but keep a buffer in your account

You can decide how big the buffer on your account should be. When your account savings exceed that amount, you can place the excess amount in investments that have a higher expected return.

3. The effect of compound interest

Time is not only your best friend when it comes to investing but it also helps you earn money off of your existing investments. This phenomenon is called compounding. To put it simply: compounding means that you are earning interest on the amount you have already invested. How does it work?

Let’s say you invest 1 000 euros this year with an expected return of 5%. This means that the return on your initial investment will be 50 euros, which will increase the total value of your investment to 1 050 euros.

What happens if you don’t invest more money next year? You may still get a return on your investment. How is that possible?

Let’s say that you get the same 5% return on 1 050 euros. Last year, your return was 50 euros but now it will be 52,50 euros, as your initial investment has grown 5% from the year before. This means you will have 1 102,50 euros in total.

This is an example of how compound interest works. The effect is at it's best when you save regularly. Read more about the benefits of monthly saving.

4. Don’t wait around

Many people tend to avoid saving and investing because they are afraid of making mistakes in choosing equities or funds. They may think investing is difficult or that you need to be an expert to get started. But anyone can become an investor and there’s no need to wait for the right time because the right time is now. Sometimes the prices go up and sometimes they go down but that doesn’t matter if you are saving in funds. By saving monthly, you are already diversifying your investments and risks. When you add compounding to the equation, you can see that your money is truly working for you.

5. Getting started has never been easier

At Nordea, you can find a way to save that best suits you. We offer you a wide range of the latest savings products and various forms of saving at different levels.

You can start saving with the help of our robo-adviser Nora, meet with an investment adviser, design your own portfolio and much more. Our expert advisers will help you take your savings journey to the next level and make sure you are in control of your savings.

Stepping Out

Then Naomi her mother-in-law said to her, “My daughter, should I not seek rest for you, that it may be well with you? Is not Boaz our relative, with whose young women you were? See, he is winnowing barley tonight at the threshing floor. Wash therefore and anoint yourself, and put on your cloak and go down to the threshing floor, but do not make yourself known to the man until he has finished eating and drinking. But when he lies down, observe the place where he lies. Then go and uncover his feet and lie down, and he will tell you what to do.” And she replied, “All that you say I will do.” So she went down to the threshing floor and did just as her mother-in-law had commanded her. Ruth 3:1-6

In this scene, the older woman Naomi practiced the essence of Titus 2:3-5, providing Ruth with counsel that was wise but also quite risky. In Ruth 1:9, Naomi prayed that God would provide Ruth a husband, and here she takes action and is used of God to answer her own prayer when she helps arrange the marriage of Ruth to the great Boaz.

Naomi’s counsel is questionable. Knowing that Boaz had only seen Ruth dirty and sweaty at work in his fields, she counseled Ruth to get a full makeover, buy a new party dress, and put on some nice perfume. She was then instructed to attend the great party Boaz would be at and wait patiently for him to have fun celebrating his great success in business, eat well, and have a glass or two of wine before getting in front of him. Ruth was furthermore counseled to take the risk of actually approaching Boaz while he was asleep to invite him to propose marriage! Heeding Naomi’s counsel, Ruth went to the threshing floor, which would have been a packed plot of ground where the grain from the harvest was threshed by being hit with a sledge, trampled by animals (Micah 4:13), or crushed under the wheels of a cart (Isaiah 28:28). The goal was to separate the kernels from the husk, chaff, and stalk. It would all then be tossed in the air with a shovel or pitchfork, so that the breeze would blow away the chaff. The straw would be used for animals, the chaff for fuel, and the grain for food. The entire occasion was a time of great celebration and partying (Isaiah 9:3, 41:14-16), and this party would have been particularly enthusiastic because it was the first after many years of famine.

Boaz, along with the other men who had attended the harvest and accompanying party, slept on the threshing floor next to the grain to protect it from thieves. While Boaz slept, Ruth took the very daring and bold counsel of Naomi and uncovered his feet to lie at them. Startled, Boaz awoke and asked who was with him there in the dark. Boaz probably wondered if a prostitute was there to tempt him, as prostitution was common on the threshing floor where men had a few drinks, were in good spirits, and had money to spend (Hosea 9:1).
Ruth revealed herself as his humble servant, but there was likely a moment of uncertainty for Boaz about her intentions. She had recently converted, but Ruth was a Moabite whose entire race began when a young woman climbed into bed with her inebriated father and seduced him (Genesis 19)! Furthermore, the entire story happened in the dark days of the judges when there was great sexual immorality of every kind.

Ruth asked Boaz to answer his own prayer of 2:12 and be God’s wing of covering over her. In short, she didn’t propose marriage to Boaz, but rather declared her love for him and invited him to ask for her hand in marriage. The phrase spread your wings is also sometimes translated spread your garment/blanket and is elsewhere used as a symbol for engagement much like our current engagement ring (Ezekiel 16:8; Deuteronomy 23:1, 27:20; Malachi 2:16). In the act, a man demonstrated that he would both lovingly cover the woman for the entirety of her life and invite her into his bed as his beloved wife. In 1 Corinthians 7:39, Paul says that a widow, like Ruth, is free to marry any Christian whom she chooses to love, and here, Ruth took an enormous risk in declaring her heart to Boaz. Furthermore, while she didn’t break any clear command of Scripture, Ruth did indeed trample many cultural taboos as she was younger and Boaz was older; she was a servant and he was her boss; she was a Moabite and he was an Israelite; she was poor and he was rich; and she was a woman and he was a man.
Bible commentators vigorously debate whether Ruth’s actions were godly or good. While it doesn’t seem like her actions technically crossed a line, it does seem that they danced on it vigorously late at night after few glasses of wine. To say the least, it’s complicated!

  • Looking back at your life, are there any situations where you put yourself in a potentially unsafe situation, but God was gracious to protect you from harm?
  • Whether or not Naomi’s plan was wise, what can you surmise about Ruth being so vulnerable and forward with Boaz? Why him and not the other men?

A traditional Notts pub that's a favourite with locals and visitors from further afield will re-open on Friday (July 12) after a £200,000 makeover.

The Horse and Groom, an old coaching inn with original features such as open fires and oak beams, is getting a fresh new look, inside and out.

The Greene King boozer, in Moorgreen, Newthorpe, has been gutted since closing earlier this month ready for the refurbishment - the first in eight years for the family-friendly pub.

Manager Antony Cooper said: "There's going to be a big overhaul of the restaurant with brand new furniture, decoration and carpet and the bar will be made more 'pubby' and comfortable for drinking.

The Horse and Groom used to be a coaching inn

"The extension is also going to be done and we will have a new patio at the back with lighting so people can drink a little later outside."

The pub has a beer garden with space for 200 people to enjoy a tipple in the sunshine and take in the rural views over sprawling fields.

"It will be fresh and bright ready for the summer. We are a destination pub - people travel here for a meal and we do full table service and we get quite a few locals coming in for drinks. The view is really nice at the front you can see for miles - as far as Crich - on a clear day," added Mr Cooper.

"We have looked after it over the last eight years but it's always good to have some money to spend to make it look fresh and brand new."

Yoga is for everyone, every shape, every size, every level of experience. At Nourishing Storm, we love sharing the practice with new students as the benefits can be transformational and serve to fulfill whatever one is looking for ie. balance, strength, flexibility, peace and so much more.  You do not need to know anything or have any experience to begin yoga. We just ask that you keep in mind that yoga is a practice and it does take time. The best practice you can have is one where you listen to your body and we’ll teach you how to do that.

What do I need to bring to class?

Currently students are asked to bring a mat and any props they would like to use for class. Most classes give options to use 1-2 blocks, a strap, blanket and bolster (especially if you are taking a Yoga Restore class). We have gently used yoga props for sale in the cafe.

How many students are in classes?

We pride ourselves in being a small, intimate studio, so you get personal attention as well as feel there is enough space for you to stretch out! Currently we allow up to 9 students live in the studio and if you choose to take a virtual class, well that is unlimited and can be practiced right from the comfort of your home!

Do I need to sign up for classes online ahead of time?

YES! Since we only allow up to 9 students (each spot marked 6 feet apart) you will need to sign up to reserve your space. Also to join us virtually you will need to be signed up to get the link to join our class. Signing up takes about a minute once your account is created (and we even have our own app to save even more time, just look in the app store for “Nourishing Storm” and book right from your phone). If you are not sure how to do this, send us a message.

What are the best classes for beginners?

All instructors in each class will give modifications and variations to each pose so our classes are open to all levels.  However, the following classes are geared towards a slow, gentle practice that is great for beginners: Yoga Calm, Yoga Bliss, Yoga Restore and Yoga Begin. Other classes such as Yoga Flow and Yoga Strong move a little quicker and are less instructional, but lots of fun.

How do I get started?

You can either stop in the cafe and talk to one of our juice bar gals or you can create an account online by signing up for your first class. We offer packages for those new to yoga and those new to our studio in addition to class cards, drop ins and membership. More info on getting started here.

I have additional questions ...

If we did not answer your question(s), please reach out to us.

We look forward to meeting you soon, the NS Team

“And it’s all in the name. Nourishing Storm Studio and Cafe. I started on my journey for inner peace about 2 years ago. August of 2015 I found the Storm. It’s been true love ever since. I had no true Yoga practice besides a night class at the local school. Now it’s been 6 months and I have found my happy place. Kristin and Megan are so much more than Yoga teachers. My favorite pose to date is Legs up the Wall. I don’t know how to explain why I just know that I feel grounded and happy when my legs are up the wall. I am grateful every day that I found such a nourishing community.”
