MINNEAPOLIS - Some leaders in states with strict abortion bans say exceptions for rape or incest victims aren't needed because emergency contraceptives can be used instead. But medical professionals and advocates for rape survivors say that while emergency contraception is a helpful tool, it's not always foolproof, and getting access to these emergency measures in the short time frame in which they would be effective may not be realistic for someone who has just been assaulted.
Here's a look at emergency contraceptives and what some people are saying.
SAN ANSELMO, CALIFORNIA - JUNE 30: In this photo illustration, PlanB one-step emergency contraceptive is displayed on June 30, 2022 in San Anselmo, California. Some large drugstore chains are limiting the number of emergency contraception pills sold
Emergency contraceptives are used to prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex or if a method of birth control fails.
Two types of medications, sometimes referred to as "morning after pills," are available: levonorgestrel, known by the popular brand name Plan B; and ulipristal acetate, known under the brand ella. They should be taken as soon as possible after unprotected sex.
The pills prevent ovulation, which is when an egg is released from an ovary, said Dr. Jonah Fleisher, director of the Center for Reproductive Health at the University of Illinois in Chicago. If an egg is not released, it cannot be fertilized.
No. Emergency contraceptives prevent a pregnancy. The abortion pill, mifepristone, ends a pregnancy after a fertilized egg has implanted in the lining of a woman's uterus. It's commonly administered with the drug misoprostol and can be taken up to 11 weeks after the first day of a woman's last period.
Not 100% of the time. The pills' effectiveness improves the sooner they are taken after unprotected sex, doctors said. The drugs won't prevent pregnancies if they are taken before sex, Fleisher said.
The Food and Drug Administration has approved Plan B for use up to 72 hours, or three days, after unprotected sex. Ella is approved for up to 120 hours, or five days.
Timing is important because sperm can live inside a woman's body for up to five days, so a woman can still get pregnant if ovulation occurs after intercourse, said Dr. Dana Stone, an OB-GYN in Oklahoma City. If a woman has ovulated prior to intercourse, the pills are unlikely to help.
"So that's where the failure comes in. It's based on the timing," Stone said.
A woman's weight also may play a role, though there is conflicting information on that. Guidance from the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology says levonorgestrel may be less effective in women with a body mass index that's over 25. The organization says some research suggests ulipristal acetate also has lower effectiveness among women with a BMI that's 30 or higher.
- Emergency contraception isn't widely available for Texas' poorest people
- Texans react to abortion trigger law in effect
- Texans who perform abortions now face up to life in prison, $100,000 fine
- State by state: Abortion laws across the U.S.
However, the FDA found conflicting data and reached no conclusion in a 2016 review of the effectiveness of levonorgestrel in women who weigh more than 165 pounds or have a BMI above 25. The agency said additional research should be a priority.
Another form of emergency contraception, a copper intrauterine device, is seen as the most effective method, if inserted into a woman's uterus within five days of unprotected sex. Its effectiveness is not dependent on weight, Fleisher said.
A doctor or nurse must insert a copper IUD, which can remain in place for many years as a regular form of birth control.
Plan B can be purchased over the counter by anyone 17 or older, but younger people need a prescription. Ella requires a prescription.
Officials in some states, such as Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and South Carolina state Rep. Doug Gilliam, point to emergency contraceptives as a reason abortion bans don't need exceptions for rape or incest.
During an Aug. 31 House debate, Gilliam said, in a hypothetical case of a 12-year-old raped by her father, the child would have "choices" and wouldn't be "forced" to carry a pregnancy. Among them, he said, she could go to the hospital and get an emergency contraceptive, or go to the store and get one without a prescription.
Pressed by a fellow lawmaker on who would take the girl to the store to get the pill, he initially replied "The ambulance," then corrected himself and said, "The hospital when she's there."
In a follow-up interview with The Associated Press, the Republican lawmaker said he did not mean to suggest that an ambulance would take a girl to a store, but that if she were to go to the hospital, she would likely be offered emergency contraception.
"I don't want anybody to think that I told you a 12-year-old that just been raped … is going to call an ambulance to go to a store," he said. "I just let them know the options were out there, and one of them was emergency medical contraceptives."
Most rape victims don't report the crime to law enforcement, according to Jude Foster, advocacy medical forensic and prevention programs director for the Minnesota Coalition Against Sexual Assault. Many also may not go in for immediate medical care. Not everyone knows that emergency contraceptives are an option and part of a routine rape exam, or that such an exam is free.
"Why is sexual assault used as a political football when you are talking about access to reproductive care?" Foster said. "Please don't. It just really frustrates me."
Stone said the belief that a woman can just take Plan B if she is raped is misguided.
"We need all kinds of options for women because nothing is a one size fits all," Stone said. "People have transportation problems, they have financial problems. There are always barriers to some percentage of women that will keep them from accessing this in the short time frame that they have."
Several states have explicitly allowed for emergency contraception in their abortion laws.
Arkansas, Kentucky and Oklahoma all have laws that ban abortion at all stages of pregnancy, and make no exceptions for cases of rape or incest. Arkansas' and Kentucky's laws explicitly say they don't prohibit contraceptive measures if they are used before a pregnancy can be determined. Oklahoma's abortion ban also does not apply to emergency contraception.
Abortion bans aside, the National Conference of State Legislatures says 21 states and the District of Columbia have statutes related to accessing emergency contraception, and 16 of them and the District of Columbia require hospitals or health care facilities to provide information about or administer emergency contraception to women who have been sexually assaulted.
Fleisher said emergency contraception does not replace the need for abortion care, and these issues should be between a doctor and patient.
"The people writing the laws don't understand the choices that real people are making," he said.

Excellent General Predator in Field Crops and Greenhouses.
Minute Pirate Bugs, Orius insidiosus, also known as flower bugs, are one of the most common general predators in field crops. Emerging early in the spring, their diet consists of a variety of small pests. They particularly love to eat thrips and are known to attack the adult thrips; you may even see them from time to time with thrips stuck on their rostrum.
Release Orius indoors or out. Minute Pirate Bugs reproduce quickly, completing a total life cycle in just 3-4 weeks, making them effective at handling serious infestations quickly. Adults lay their eggs within available plant tissue. Nymphs emerge after 4-5 days and they become adults in 7-10 days. Minute Pirate Bugs will move efficiently throughout the infested plants, and will continue to kill even when they do not need to eat. Be sure to leave suitable habitat for them to overwinter as they will establish in most locations quite well.
Optimum Conditions: 64-82°F, 60% RH
Release Rates: For maintenance, release 1 to 2 Orius per plant in greenhouses or 1 to 4 Orius per plant in hot spot areas outdoors. When treating a serious whitefly, aphid, thrips or other pest infestation, we recommend releasing up to 500 Orius per 250 sq. ft. area. For field crops, we recommend releasing between 100 and 2,000 Orius per acre, depending on the level of infestation.
This Product Controls These Pests or Diseases: Alfalfa Weevil (Hypera postica Gyllenhal), Aphids (Mult), Armyworm (Pseudaletia unipuncta), Asparagus Beetles (Crioceris asparagi (common); Crioceris duodecimpunctata (spotted)), Bean Beetles - Mexican Bean Beetle (Epilachna varivestis Mulsant), Bean Thrips (Caliothrips fasciatus), Beet Armyworm (Spodoptera exigua (Hubner)), Beet Leafhopper (Circulifer tenellus), Brown Almond Mite (Bryobia rubrioculus), California Laurel Aphid (Euthoracaphis umbellulariae), Caterpillar Eggs (Mult), Coconut Mealybug (Nipaecoccus nipae), Grape Leafhopper (Erythroneura elegantula), Greenhouse whitefly (Trialeurodes vaporariorum), Leafhopper (Circulifer tenellus), Leafhopper (Empoasca sp), Mealybug (Planococcus citri), Mealybug (Pseudococcus sp), Mexican Bean Beetle (Epilachna varivestis Mulsant), Mites (Tetranychus sp), Potato Leafhopper (Empoasca fabae), Potato Leafhopper; Bean Jassid (Empoasca fabae), Silverleaf whitefly (Bemisia sp), Spider Mite (Mult), Sweet Potato Whitefly (Bemisia tabaci), Sweetpotato Whitefly (Bemisia sp), Thrips (Franklinothrips sp), Two-Spotted Spider Mite (Tetranychus urticae)
Minute Pirate Bugs (Orius insidiosus) are aggressive predators of thrips, but will actively feed on mites, aphids and moth eggs. Release instructions are found below. Please call us at 1-800-827-2847 for further release information or if you have questions about their use.
General Release Instructions:

The unpredictable origins and etymologies of our cracking Christmas customsFor something that happens every year of our lives, we really don't know much about Christmas.We don't know that the date we celebrate was chosen by a madman, or that Christmas, etymologically speaking, means 'Go away, Christ'. Nor do we know that Christmas was first celebrated in 243 AD on 28 March - and only moved to 25 December in 354 AD. We're oblivious to the fact that the advent calendar was actually invented by a Munich housewife to stop her children pestering her for a Christmas countdown. And we would never have guessed that the invention of crackers was merely a way of popularizing sweet wrappers.Luckily, like a gift from Santa himself, Mark Forsyth is here to unwrap this fundamentally funny gallimaufry of traditions and oddities, making it all finally make sense - in his wonderfully entertaining wordy way.
A Christmas Cornucopia by Mark Forsyth was published in hardback and ebook by Viking on 10 November 2016, priced £9.99
I absolutely love books like A Christmas Cornucopia, not only is it beautifully presented as a small hardback with an exquisite cover, it is jam packed with witty and fascinating facts and stories about Christmas. This really would make the perfect stocking-filler, I've already bought two copies!'Picture a man sitting beside a dead tree. He is indoors and wearing a crown.
From the ceiling hangs a parasitical shrub that legitimates sexual assault.
Earlier, he told his children that the house had been broken into during the night by an obese Turkish man.That was a lie, but he wanted to make his children happy'
Mark Forsyth doesn't just churn out the stories that he has discovered, his writing is an absolute delight. From the biography of Santa Claus to why is it 25th December? He is hilarious, and does actually make the reader realise just how crazy some of our Christmas traditions really are.
Who knew that Advent Calendars were invented by a German housewife who was fed up to the back teeth of hearing her children whinge during the run up to Christmas.
Amongst other Christmas nuggets, you will learn:
* A 'true' Christmas tree should feature a snake as decoration (it's actually a reference to Adam and Eve)
* Good King Wenceslas was in fact Duke Vaclav of Bohemia, a man so at war with his mother that he exiled her
* A truly traditional Christmas Day includes 'wassailing' i.e. knocking on your neighbours' doors with a large bucket and demanding that they fill it with boozeA fascinating and interesting collection of little known facts about one of our biggest traditions. Quiz players will love this book.
A real treasure of a book!
My thanks to the publisher who sent my copy for review.
Born in London in 1977, Mark Forsyth (a.k.a The Inky Fool) was given a copy of the Oxford English Dictionary as a christening present and has never looked back.
His book The Etymologicon was a Sunday Times No. 1 Bestseller, and his TED Talk 'What's a snollygoster?' has had more than half a million views.
He has also written a specially commissioned essay 'The Unknown Unknown: Bookshops and the Delight of Not Getting What You Wanted' for Independent Booksellers Week and the introduction for the new edition of the Collins English Dictionary.
He was also the man behind the post about language/grammar that went viral last month.
He lives in London with his dictionaries, and blogs at blog.inkyfool.com

Jaymes' Fat Face is a gourmet popsicle shop which also serves sammiches and soup for lunch. It's the brick and mortar location for Aisu Pop.
The shop is located at 425 L St - Suite C, directly behind Floors To Go and close to L Street Furniture, Bikram Yoga Davis, Rodness Martial Arts Center, and Bike Forth. It's a bit off the beaten path but is the only place in Davis to get a gourmet popsicle outside of the Farmer's Market.
If you have any flavor ideas or requests please feel free to let the owner know! [email protected]
They will be closing sandwich operations at the shop on March 11, 2011. See the image below for details:

2009-11-02 12:38:52 Wow I get to be the 1st to comment! Fat Face is awesome. Went to the grand opening yesterday and had a super yummy BBQ pork slider, ginger lemonade, beignets, and red pepper tomato soup. Skipped on the pops but must comment that they really can't be beat. All of them are so delicious and fresh flavors (especially the thai iced tea sweet potato pop my personal fav). Highly recommend everyone go check it out for your weekday lunch fix or your sweet tooth cravings. After all... fro-yo is so 2008! —HeatherMartin
2009-11-06 12:40:49 Yummy! Today, I had the roasted pork and persimmon sammich and roasted pepper and tomato soup. She also had Mexican Coke today, so if you like your Coke in bottle without high fructose corn syrup, Jaymes has it. —ScottLay
2009-11-06 15:03:59 Congratulation Jaymes.
I have always love your pops. I now love your sammiches. —ThUn
2009-11-11 17:57:40 I'm looking forward to trying this out. The Fat Face sign itself is worth commenting on though. Whoever drew the pig did a great job. I enjoyed it just driving by in the car. —EdHenn
2009-12-03 12:32:22 just came back from there and i'm in the middle of wolfing down the roasted pork and persimmon sammich that has frisee and goat cheese too. i don't even know what frisee is but it's delicious. i'm sure it means 'crack' in another language because i could eat three of these in one go, they're so good. i don't really go for funky combos in a sandwich but i took a leap based on jaymes' recommendation and she is right on the money. speaking of jaymes, i doubt you can find a cooler or nicer person to talk to. she's totally awesome. i tried a pop and i inadvertently laughed out loud from surprise because they taste exactly what they're named after. sounds silly to find pleasure from something like that but just try one and you'll see what i mean. A+, thumbs up, 5/5, absolutely recommend this place.
totally diggin the sign too. —beekergene
2009-12-03 12:35:44 sigh...while writing my review i finished my sammich without realizing it and now i feel lost and cold and alone. it's that good. —beekergene
2009-12-06 15:07:49 The sammiches are amazing and Jaymes is so nice! I love sitting in there eating my sammich, chatting, coloring on the table, reading the newspaper... I'm officially addicted. I've tried the squash, roast pork and persimmon, beer poached fig, smoked salmon, plus breakfast sammiches... I get pretty happy when I check the menu feed and see a new kind, I can't wait to try more! I just wish the shop was open everyday! Why such limited hours? —SRB
2009-12-10 15:19:13 I'm with beekergene... the roasted pork and persimmon sammich is awesome! yummy yummy... I don't usually like goat cheese, but I tried it, and with the persimmon and secret sauce... soooo good! Thanks Jaymes! —AdrienneW
2009-12-11 13:31:46 Be sure to check the "current menu" link at the top of this page before you go – you can make sure it's open that way.
Fat Face has a very casual atmosphere, but the soups, sandwiches, and pops are top shelf delicious. This is a local business well worth supporting! —K.Lee
2010-01-07 13:31:42 Beer Poached Figs, Caramelized Onion, Arugula, Goat Cheese sandwich. Are you kidding me? It's fabulous. I can't wait until I'm hungry again so I can go back an get another. Be prepared for cash only. Also have had the egg sandwiches at the Farmer's Market which are great too.
Once you find this place, you'll be back.
2010-01-29 19:42:24 The people of Davis DEMAND evening and weekend hours at the Fat Face shop!!! —atwong
2010-01-31 16:45:25 Went to the Farmer's Market this past Saturday and went looking for Jayme's Fatface stand. Bought a "Cajun" sammich (egg, anduolli sausage, and collard greens on a crispy ciabatta bread) and a thai tea+sweet potato popsicle. Price is a bit high, but I really like supporting local businesses. I really enjoyed my meal. Sammich was excellent and the popsicle was like a frozen thai tea (didn't quite taste the sweet potato)! Overall, a great place for me to hit up after a long bike ride during summer! Keep up the great work! —BrandonToo
2010-02-28 00:15:42 I went in for lunch one day and was presently surprised to find such a cozy place. I had read these reviews and thought I had to try it. Now for my review: I had the pork sammich with everything on it. The pork was tasty, cooked to perfection, and had great texture. Bread was fresh, spread was delicious, and veggies were awesome! The pork actually really reminded me of Vietnamese prepared pork (I'm Vietnamese) and it was nice to find something strangely familiar. I ordered half of my sammich for dine in and half to-go...but I ended up eating both halves right then and there. You gotta try it peoples —juicee
2010-03-10 11:01:43 Please bring back the grilled cheese on walnut bread! I keep checking the menu and it is never there anymore :( —CharlieMurphy
- Have you tried asking if they'd make one? A lot of places will still make stuff even after they take it off the menu. —TomGarberson
2010-03-10 11:29:14 When I saw their sign with "sammiches" at the Farmers Market a couple months ago I wanted to correct the spelling. I remember the pop was interesting. I can't correct the spelling today. It's been a kind of frustrating day. —BruceHansen
The spelling is intentional.
I fiigured it was today since it's correct for "Type of Food".
2010-03-12 15:04:42 So I'm at work and I thought I should comment on the delicious sammich I just ate. I can't say how glad I am that I stopped by Fat Face. It's a bit of a hole in the wall and I assume that the majority of people don't even know it exists, which is a shame. They really seem to have created a very thoughtful menu, even if the rotation only consists of four or five sandwiches at a time.
I had the chicken salad sandwich, and there was something really buttery and garlicy in it that was just amazing~. The only thing about these sandwiches though, is that they are on the small side. I'm small so the full suited me just find but I imagine that it's not enough for people with larger appetites. But hey, I guess those people can just buy two then.
Ok, back to work and back to offending people with the garlic breath :\ —KMP
2010-03-17 18:45:05 I've never really been a big fan of sandwiches.. Most sandwich places have not enough meat for me and too much bread. I'm not a big fan of most breads, but the bread here is so good. I've tried the smoked salmon and the bacon and egg sandwich offered at the farmers market. Both are sooo good. You can tell the ingredients here are all super fresh. I've only tried the Thai Tea w/ sweet potato but it is amazing. This place is awesome.. I'll be back soon. Their sandwiches seem small but for a big guy like me its pretty filling, just have a popsicle for dessert and you'll be good! —
2010-03-19 23:28:57 Finally went to Fatface and very much enjoyed it. I had a grilled cheese sammich with aged cheddar that was delicious. The fan-produced art of the pig and the popsicle monster gives this place such a friendly vibe. I'll be returning for sure to get that pork sammich they were out of today. —EdHenn
2010-03-25 16:23:33 I returned for the Braised Pork sammich today, and it's a delight. The pork has so much flavor, with just a bit of homemade cheese and some greens. Jaymes seems to have the knack for very simple but delicious combinations of tasty ingredients. This place is a winner. —EdHenn
2010-03-29 14:42:12 Everything made by Jaymes that I've ever eaten has been absolutely delicious (not the best word, but I don't think there's a word that exists that can describe how good the food is). At Farmer's Market, my boyfriend and I always plan to try something new or something we haven't had in a while, but can never resist getting another sammich. —pwong
2010-04-03 12:36:23 soooo jazzed about this place. I have always LOVED her breakfast sandwiches at the Farmer's Market and pleased that she now has a storefront. I'm eating the roasted tomato soup from FM as I type and I just can't wait to visit the real spot bc I know it will be a delight. THIS is the kind of place the city of Davis needs more of. —soledad101
2010-04-29 15:14:43 I wish that I had gotten two of her grilled cheese sammiches. They are that good. The atmosphere is really fun, everyone is nice, and the popsicles are incredible. Everything I have ever tried tastes like sunshine and happiness inside of my mouth. Go to Fatface. —Ldish949
2010-05-21 19:56:00 Thank you Jaymes for a wonderful anniversary dinner!! We loved it and it was so awesome we were able to make it happen given the newborn baby at our house. We will give our highest recommendations to others and may just do it again at home for the fun of it!! Fatface rocks the house ya'll! —HeatherMartin
2010-06-17 19:49:11 Oh my goooodnesssss fantastic. My boyfriend and I have been eyeing this place for months but we both have wierd schedules so we can never get over there at the appropriate times, UNTIL TODAY!. I had the fig n' goat cheese sammich, boyfriend had the braised pork. The fig sandwich was like unicorns, glitter, and happiness in my mouth, A plus plus plus oh man. Braised pork was awesome, but not as good as the figgie :) boyfriend complained they were smallish. They ARE kind of small but I felt satiated, personally, and very pleased with the quality of the ingredients, overall taste and of course the finishing touch of lightly grilled bread. Not enough places do that. Wow. —JessicaWinter
2010-06-23 15:36:02 I'm not a big fan of the popsicles, but this place has the best sandwiches in town. The new bacon sammich is simply fantastic, the crispy bacon is cooked to perfection, the buttered bread is crunchy, the tomato and the arugula are fresh, and the avocado sauce is heaven, you can feel the love they put into it, best BLT ever! —icastano
2010-06-25 12:50:54 Just tried Fat Face for the first time today, and I can honestly say it's one of the best eateries in town. Great tasting "sammiches"; you can tell that a lot of care and attention to detail is put into their preparation. It's cool that Jaymes makes what she herself enjoys and isn't afraid to put interesting ingredients into the mix such as goat cheese and fig. Some of the pops also have unique flavors such as avocado mixed with lime and thai tea mixed with sweet potato. Don't be intimidated; you'll be surprised at just how well everything works together. Overall, very delicious and creative menu! —ScottMeehleib
2010-08-10 11:02:56 Great honest food and I love the egg Sammiches at Farmer's.
I was also going to write that I would want a shirt with the logo on it but I just saw on facebook that it's in the works, awesome! —BamCam
2010-08-22 14:28:31 This place is the ultimate. I've had the beer soaked fig sandwich twice and the coca-cola pork sandwich once. Both were super yummy. I now try to get to this place at least once a week. —jsg718
2010-09-05 11:06:08 Never having had Fat Face, I wanted to get the full experience when I saw the stand at Farmers Market. I got a breakfast sammie and the mint ice tea, and on my way out I got a peach and berry popsicle. It was pretty much fantastic. The ice tea was especially impressive - it was sweet, and incredibly minty in a special way. And the popsicle had a great texture. Wasn't like an ice cube, so I could crunch it perfectly and enjoyably. Plus, I really enjoy that the peaches in that popsicle came from fellow Farmers Market folks, and it's all a local effort. Thanks for the deliciousness, can't wait until next Farmers Market to get something else! —ChristyMarsden
2010-09-23 10:13:48 very good sandwiches with a really nice and friendly atmosphere in the restaurant. —DagonJones
2010-12-10 19:53:15 This place is amazing. Great find for foodies. the beer fig sammich and thai lime and avocado pop are some notables. I highly recommend this place. Jaymes is super friendly and its got a great vibe. —DonHo
2010-12-14 15:25:10 Went in here after hearing about how good their "sammiches" are. Got the cola pork and I have to say it was the smallest, most over priced sandwhich ever. It barely had any pork and was pretty bland. I might go back and try a popsicle in the summer though —JasonS
- Hi Jason, thanks for taking the time to write about your experience. I am very sorry we disappointed you on the cola pork. Pork is possibly my most favorite food group and I apologize the sandwich underwhelmed you so much. Since seeing your comment, we have been paying extra attention to the cola pork to make sure it is as flavorful and satisfying as it should be. Thank you for giving Fat Face a try and helping make us better.

2010-12-15 20:57:21 I finally managed to get into this place today. I wish it were open during weekends and evenings, (although it kind of makes finding this place open a special treat). Anyway, I tried the pork sandwich on recommendations from DW, and I have to agree with most of the above: it was very good. The pork was super tender, the way pulled pork should be, soft and melty. It came with avocado, which I wasn't expecting, but it turned out to be a good combo, and I liked it in the end. The sandwich did disappear a little too fast, but it wasn't on account of it being small. It was more that it tasted really good and I ate it too fast. —jefftolentino
2011-01-07 13:55:33 You guys are just amazing! Seriously, my office-mates and I have upgraded Fat Face to #1 sandwich destination in Davis. <3 <3 <3.
I'm just disappointed that it took us almost a year to find out about you. What's with the crazy location? —KyleAmbroff
2011-01-27 15:11:29 So completely yummy. I have only been twice, gotten the beer poached fig sammich both times, and I am completely hooked. Super fun and friendly staff, well executed and special food. Oh and the pops are killer too. Thanks, Jaymes and staff for making such fun treats! Oh and tip for consumers of fig sammich, put some kettle cooked black pepper chips on your sammy for a little extra salty goodness. Not necessary, extra tasty. —CaitlinAnn
2011-02-02 14:08:44 This place is amazing! Really Good Sandwiches! —ReiOkamoto
2011-03-10 13:48:10 Went for lunch today...amazing as usual. One of the true gems of Davis. Sad to see them close the sandwich operation, but they're on to bigger and better things :) Best of luck Jaymes. —aroach12

Morocco is a trekker's paradise with its diverse scenery and various levels of difficulty. With hundreds of miles to cover and many trekking paths in every region Morocco is a top choice for those looking to experience a trekking adventure. The best regions to trek in Morocco are the High Atlas, Anti Atlas, and the Great North. In the High Atlas you can climb a mountain or walk in the Ourika Valley or in the beautiful village of Ouirgane gateway to scenic walks in the fields and forests of the Toubkal National Park and meet the local Berber people in their villages . To have these trekking opportunities so close to Europe means that a world of adventure awaits you with snow capped mountain peaks like Jebel Toubkal at 4167 meter canyons, rivers and waterfalls and the forests in the National Parks with their wildlife. If you want a day's walk from the village of Azimiz or a ten day trek with an English speaking guide, these can be easily arranged and pre booked during a tailor made private trekking tour to Morocco.
Marrakech is within an hour or two's reach of most trekking destinations. For serious trekkers a summit to Mount Toubkal can be arranged with a professional Berber guide who specialists in summiting Kasbah Toubkal. A Berber guide arranges a planned route and along with all equipment necessary for a 3 day summit. For a 3 day summit a combination of things to bring would be trekking boots, a good sized backpack, layers or clothing appropriate for three seasons, windbreaker and water bottles. On a 3 Day summit to Kasbah Toubkal you will stay in a Gitape at night and trek during the day with all local meals being served in Berber villages by locals and at the Gitape. Mule is included for equipment during your trek and led by your Berber guide.
Trekking is an all year round activity in Morocco however in the winter months you will encounter snow on the High Atlas and freezing temperature. The best time for trekking in Morocco is April to June when the weather is temperate and spring flowers carpet the valley floors.
Another region famous for trekking Jbel Saghro. Jbel Saghro at 2,712 meters is less than 100 km south of the central High Atlas and overlooks the the Draa Valley and Dades valley in the Anti-Atlas. Jbel Saghro's barren volcanic rock and deep ravines is home to the famous Ait Atta tribe. During a trek in the Jbel Saghro region you time is made to have lunch with a Berber family in Ait Ouzzine, a small village located in the Nkob region.
Located between the High Atlas and Anti-Atlas, Jbel Siroua at 3,305 is another prehistoric volcanic region perfect for trekking. The area extends over 350 km with valleys and canyons and fields on the mountain slopes. You can have fine views of the Jebel Mgoun at 4,068 meters in the Sous Massa Draa region and the picturesque Ait Bougmez valley some four hours from Marrakech. From Jbel Siroua trekking to Merzouga and the surrounding area is possible for those interest in desert scenery and a camel trek in the Sahara with a Nomadic guide.
An alternative to trekking in Southern Morocco is the option to trek in the Rif Mountain region which is not part of the Atlas Mountain chain. In North of Morocco the nature offers a different environment for trekking. In the South it is arid and dry with valley views whereas in the North the trekking offer lush, green views as this region receives far more rain then the South of Morocco trekking.
In Morocco's North, there are fabulous vistas, streams and lakes with great forests of cedar, oak and fir in the Talassemtane National Park, at Jebel Taloussisse and Jebel Lakraa. During a Northern Morocco trekking experience you will see Barbary Apes, eopards, wild boars, eagles, lizards and many species butterflies. You can also meet the local Berber population who till the fields in small villages and hamlets amidst the forests. The Northern part of Morocco is a less frequented trekking area by tourists than in the south of Morocco and offers an enchanting and peaceful trekking experience. The Berbers travel by donkey or on foot and vehicles area rare sight.
A Rif Mountain to the Jbel Lakraa Summit which is at 2154Meters is the ideal trek in this region. Trekkers can hike to the highest Summit in Talassemtane National Park through a magnificent Cedar Forrest.
Regardless of your level of experience and fitness, Morocco offers many options for trekkers alike.

The emergency treatment of drug-resistant infections with targeted antibiotics is often delayed by the need to identify bacterial strains by growing them in culture first. At this week's AVS 53rd International Symposium & Exhibition in San Francisco, Michael Lochhead, a bioengineer at the Denver biotechnology company Accelr8, described a new lab-on-a-chip that can identify single bacterial cells for the most common cases of drug-resistant pneumonia, cutting down the wait from days to hours. The technology could also help in the development of new drugs.
The constant bombardment by antibiotics and disinfectants has bred strains of super-bugs that only respond to very specific drugs. These super-bugs often lurk in hospitals, where patients with weakened immune systems can pick up obstinate, life-threatening infections such as pneumonia. "When you get pneumonia in the hospital, you're much more likely to get a resistant strain," Lochhead said. "It's an emerging public-health disaster."
The most acute cases are admitted into intensive care units, where doctors have just days, if not hours, to save the patients' lives, Lochhead said. But reliably identifying the bacterial strain that's causing the infection traditionally requires growing the bugs in culture first, a procedure that can take two to three days. Meanwhile, doctors often have no other option than to start stopgap treatments with broad-spectrum antibiotics.
The Accelr8 technology is a "microfluidic" lab-on-a-chip designed to manipulate and analyze bacteria without growing them first. Samples are first washed out of the patient's lungs with saline solution in a procedure called bronchoalveolar lavage. The organisms are then separated, suspended in a specially designed fluid, and pumped into the chip.
Inside the chip, the bacteria flow into several different compartments -- eight in the current version of the chip -- and are made to stick to a bacteria-friendly surface using an electric current. Antibodies then flow in. The antibodies bind specifically to certain strains of bacteria, and mark them with fluorescent dyes of different colors. The dyes color-code cells from known strains. A microscope monitors the viable cells -- those that are still reproducing -- and the rate at which they duplicate helps to identify their species.
In the next step, different antibiotics are pumped into the chambers. If the cells in a chamber stop reproducing, that indicates that a certain drug is likely to be effective at fighting the infection. The death of the bugs is confirmed by checking with a special dye.
Once the bacteria-carrying fluid is injected into the chip, the entire procedure is automatic-- including the counting of fluorescent-marked cells, which is done by a computer -- and takes less than eight hours.
One of the most difficult steps was to design a surface that would be hospitable to the bacteria but that would at the same time keep the antibodies and antibiotics from sticking to it, Lochhead said. While Accelr8 is working on finding a "universal" material that will allow virtually all pathogenic bacteria to stick to it, the company has so far focused on nine bacterial species that cause most of the cases of drug-resistant pneumonia, including Staphylococcus aureus (staph), Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Escherichia coli (E. coli). "If we can characterize the nine panel organisms, we'll cover 80 to 90 percent of hospital-acquired pneumonia cases," Lochhead said.
The company also hopes to apply the technology not just to identifying known strains but also to testing the efficacy of new drugs, or of existing drugs on unknown strains. "Even if you don't know the identity of an organism, if you know which drug works, it's still useful," Lochhead says.
Accelr8, a former software company that refashioned itself into a biotechnology company, plans to place development instruments in collaborating clinical laboratories within a year.

Pendleton v. Russell, 144 U.S. 640 (1892)
Pendleton v. Russell
No. 236
Argued and submitted March 24, 1892
Decided April 18, 1892
Four children of S. H. P., deceased, recovered judgment in the Circuit Court of the United States for the Western District of Tennessee against a life insurance company, a corporation of New York, on a policy insuring the life of the deceased, to which judgment a writ of error was sued out, but citation issued against only one of the plaintiffs. On this the company gave a supersedeas bond securing the sureties by pledging or mortgaging some of its property. Proceedings were then taken in the courts of New York, under direction of the attorney general of that state, which resulted in the dissolution of that corporation and the appointment of a receiver of its property, who, by directions of the court, appeared in this Court and prosecuted the writ of error in order to release the property pledged. After sundry proceedings, the judgment of the circuit court was eventually reversed, and the case was remanded to the circuit court. A new trial was had there, but without summoning in the receiver, who did not appear, and judgment was again obtained against the company. This judgment was filed in the proceedings in New York as a claim against the assets of the company in the hands of the receiver, and the claim was disallowed by the highest court of that state. Held that the appearance of the receiver in this Court for the purpose of securing a reversal of the judgment below and the release of the mortgaged property gave to the circuit court in Tennessee no jurisdiction over the case after the dissolution of the corporation which could bind the property of the company in the hands of the receiver or prevent the receiver from showing that the judgment was invalid because rendered against a corporation which had at the time no existence and possessed no property against which the judgment could be enforced.
The Court stated the case as follows:
The facts out of which the present case arises, briefly stated, are as follows: on the 14th of July, 1870, the Knickerbocker Life Insurance Company of New York, for a stipulated annual premium of $364.60, issued a policy for the sum of $10,000 on the life of Samuel H. Pendleton, payable to the claimants on his death. By its terms, the failure to pay the annual premium on the days designated or to pay at chanrobles.com-red
maturity any note, obligation, or indebtedness given for the premium rendered the policy void. The first premium was paid. The second premium, falling due on the 14th of July, 1871, was not paid. For it the assured drew two drafts on parties in New Orleans, and gave them to the agent of the company -- one a sight draft, for $44.50, which was paid; the other, for $325, payable three months after date, which was presented to the drawees for acceptance and afterwards, on its maturity, for payment, but it was neither accepted nor paid.
The assured having died, an action was brought in September, 1875, by the claimants -- his children -- upon the policy against the insurance company in a state court of Tennessee to recover the amount of the insurance. On motion of the company, the action was transferred to the Circuit Court of the United States for the Western District of Tennessee. The cause was there tried, and in May, 1881, a judgment was recovered by the claimants for $15,175. To review the judgment, a writ of error from the Supreme Court of the United States was sued out by the company, and a supersedeas bond given in the sum of $20,000. To secure the sureties on that bond, the company mortgaged certain of its property situated in Brooklyn, New York, to the amount of $15,000, and assigned to them a mortgage for $6,000 on property in Jersey City. Upon the writ of error, a citation was issued, but by some oversight or inadvertence both the writ and citation were directed to and served only upon one of the four defendants in error. While the cause was pending in the Supreme Court of the United States upon this writ of error, an action was brought in the Supreme Court of New York by the attorney general of the state in the name of the people of New York against the insurance company to dissolve the corporation and forfeit its corporate rights, privileges, and franchises, and on the 29th of December, 1882, a judgment to that effect was rendered, dissolving the company, and forfeiting its corporate privileges, rights, and franchises and appointing Charles H. Russell receiver of the property of the corporation. Soon afterwards, the receiver ascertained the pendency of the cause in the chanrobles.com-red
Supreme Court of the United States, and also the execution of the supersedeas bond, the mortgage of the property of the insurance company in Brooklyn, and the assignment of the mortgage on property in Jersey City by way of indemnity of the sureties for their liability upon the bond. He reported the facts to the court whose officer he was, and obtained authority to employ counsel to argue the cause upon the hearing on the writ of error in the Supreme Court of the United States. Counsel was accordingly retained for that purpose, and argument was had by him in 1884, and in January, 1885, that court rendered judgment reversing the judgment of the circuit court and awarding a new trial. 112 U. S. 112 U.S. 696. But, according to its customary practice, it retained the mandate until its adjournment. While thus retained, the claimants filed a petition for reargument, which was sent to the counsel employed by the receiver. Before the petition was disposed of, it was discovered that the writ of error and citation were issued to only one of the four parties who were plaintiffs below, and the supreme court, of its own motion, entered an order requiring the party to the writ of error to show cause why the decision should not, for that reason, be vacated, and the writ of error dismissed. Thereupon the receiver, by petition stating to the court his ignorance, until that time, of the proceedings in question, applied for an amendment, reciting the encumbrance upon the property, and the mortgage made, and the assignment of another as indemnity to the sureties, and thereupon the court made an order amending the writ of error and citation so as to include the names of the other three claimants, but not otherwise changing the record as to parties, upon condition that the other claimants have their day in court by the allowance of a reargument. This condition was accepted by counsel on both sides, and the case was reargued, after which the judgment was again reversed and a new trial ordered, and a mandate was issued pursuant to the original decision. 115 U. S. 115 U.S. 339.
With the exception of securing counsel for the argument in the supreme court, the receiver took no part in the conduct of the defense in this cause, or in any subsequent proceedings, chanrobles.com-red
beyond directing that the mandate of the supreme court, issued upon its judgment of reversal, be sent to the lower court. He did not exercise any other control over the action than as mentioned. The mandate was filed with the Clerk of the Circuit Court for the Western District of Tennessee in December, 1885, and in pursuance of it, the former judgment was set aside, and thereupon the case was entered on the calendar for a new trial. The receiver was not substituted as a party to the action, nor was he served with any process whatever, and on January 25, 1886, the claimants took judgment by default against the insurance company for the sum of $17,560.12. They then filed a certified copy of the judgment with the receiver, basing a claim upon it for its amount, to share to that extent in the funds of the dissolved corporation in the custody of the receiver. The claim was rejected by the receiver, but, by the direction of the court, was sent to a referee, to determine its validity, and he reported substantially the facts stated above, upon which he found that the judgment was without jurisdiction, so far as the assets under the control of the court were concerned; that it had no binding force except as against property discoverable in Tennessee; that the claim presented was not a legal charge, and was not entitled to a distributive share of the assets of the company. The report of the referee was confirmed by the supreme court at special term, but its order to that effect was reversed by the general term of the supreme court, and an order made that the receiver allow the claim as valid against the assets of the company and pay the same in due course of administration of his trust. From that order the receiver appealed to the court of appeals of the state, and that court reversed the order of the supreme court at general term, and confirmed the order of the supreme court at special term, 106 N.Y. 619. Its judgment having been remanded to the supreme court of the state, it was there entered, and from this judgment, thus entered, the cause is brought to this Court on writ of error. chanrobles.com-red
MR. JUSTICE FIELD, after stating the case, delivered the opinion of the Court.
The only question presented for our determination is whether the judgment of the Circuit Court of the United States for the Western District of Tennessee, rendered on the 25th of January, 1886, was valid as a claim against the estate of the dissolved insurance corporation in the hands of its receiver, to be allowed in the distribution of its assets. The Court of Appeals, in affirming the order of the supreme court of New York at special term disallowing the claim, held that the judgment was invalid and placed its decision on the ground that the United States circuit court had not at the time, jurisdiction of the defendant. The error alleged is that the court, in this ruling, failed to give that faith and credit to the judgment of the circuit court of the United States to which it was entitled. It is well settled that the judgments and decrees of a circuit court of the United States are to be accorded in the state courts the same effect as would be accorded to the judgments and decrees of a state tribunal of equal authority. It is within the jurisdiction of this Court to consider and determine that question -- that is, whether such effect was given in any particular case -- whenever properly presented. But in determining that question, this Court must in the first instance consider whether the federal court had jurisdiction to render the judgment or decree to which, it is contended, due effect was not given, for, as a matter of course, the jurisdiction of every court is open to inquiry when its judgments and decrees are produced in the court of a state, and it is there sought to give them effect.
Looking at the judgment of the circuit court of the United States, we are satisfied that the ruling of the Court of Appeals was correct. That judgment purports to be against the insurance company, but that company at the time had no legal chanrobles.com-red
existence. It had been dissolved, and its franchises, rights, and privileges declared forfeited, by a decree of the supreme court of New York in a proceeding brought by the attorney general of the state in the name of the people, and a receiver appointed of the effects of the corporation. The judgment was therefore no more valid against a nonexisting corporation than it would have been if rendered for a like amount against a dead man. The receiver was not substituted in the place of the dissolved corporation. No process or citation was issued by that court to bring him before it, or any proceeding taken for that purpose. Nor would such a proceeding have any effect, for, the corporation having expired, the suit itself had abated. It ceased to be a pending suit, and if it were otherwise, the receiver could not take charge of any proceeding in a foreign jurisdiction by commencing an action or defending an existing action without the express authority of the court, whose officer he was, so as to bind any property or effects in his hands as receiver. Booth v. Clark, 17 How. 322; Reynolds v. Stockton, 140 U. S. 254.
The only measures he took by the authority of that court was to employ counsel to argue a pending case in the Supreme Court of the United States, brought there to review a judgment rendered in the Circuit Court of the United States for the Western District of Tennessee against the corporation. When appointed receiver, he found that case pending in the supreme court upon writ of error to review that judgment against the corporation, and also that the company had mortgaged a portion of its property and assigned a mortgage which it held of other property, together amounting to $21,000, to indemnify the sureties on a supersedeas bond given on suing out the writ of error. The judgment of reversal was rendered not upon any substitution of the receiver, but upon the record as it stood in that court. By the reversal, the encumbrances upon the property of the corporation were removed. The remittitur being sent to the court below, the judgment against the corporation was set aside as it stood on the records of that court. The case was then in the position of an ordinary action against a defunct chanrobles.com-red
corporation, and the connection of the receiver with it there ended. He did not make himself a party to the record from the fact that he may have sent the remittitur from the Supreme Court of the United States to the circuit court and had it filed there. He could not have become a party, or in any way have bound the corporation in the foreign jurisdiction, without the express authority of the court which appointed him. Nor did his employment of counsel, by such authority, to argue the case in the Supreme Court of the United States operate to make him a party or substitute him in the case as a representative of the corporation. The counsel was permitted to appear in that court because of the encumbrances upon property in its hands, created by the mortgages given by the insurance company before its dissolution as security to the sureties on the bond. His relation to the property in his hands, in trust for the creditors of the corporation, rendered it his duty to call the fact of such encumbrances to the attention of the court, and ask permission to employ counsel to argue the case, and thus, if possible, to free the property from the charges; but when that was accomplished and the remittitur was sent to the court below, his connection with the case ended. What was done here is no more than what is frequently allowed to persons who, as trustees, may be affected in discharging their duties by a decision of questions involved in cases to which they are not parties. He was allowed to present, through counsel, objections to the judgment under consideration. Had the original judgment of the circuit court of the United States been affirmed instead of being reversed, it having been rendered when the insurance company was in existence, it would have stood as a valid claim against the assets of that company after its dissolution. He did not in any respect bind himself as receiver or bind the assets in his hands, because, after the judgment was set aside in subsequent proceedings, the claimants recovered another judgment. He was not bound by the second judgment, nor precluded from showing it was invalid because rendered against a corporation which had, at the time, no existence, or capacity to be sued, and did not chanrobles.com-red
possess any property against which the judgment could be enforced.
In the condition in which the case in the circuit court of the United States was left after the reversal of its judgment, it had no jurisdiction to proceed with the action beyond entering the order under the mandate of this Court. The subsequent trial and judgment were but proceedings against a corporation which had no existence, and vitality could not be given by them to the artificial body which had become extinct.
Judgment affirmed.

Weighty Confessions
10 lbs. 10 fucking lbs. THAT is what the scale keeps insisting I've gained this week. Now, I know that I can't have possibly gained 10 lbs of fat, and I have the added knowledge that this is a time of water retention for me - but STILL!
I'm quite sure I have gained some fat-based weight because:
a) I have not been tracking points all that well / at all
b) I have gleefully been eating shit in the form of candy and chips on the weekend
c) I've been having a bit more to drink lately (not in a Liza Minelli way but in the more-consistently-having-wine-with-dinner way) and I know how quickly that adds points
d) I no longer have my nice walk from work that I can pretend is daily exercise
I do all this bullshit more and more even though I know my 'goal dates' draw closer. It's just not worth it to eat that crap and I even recognize that fact at the time, yet for some reason I act like I don't care and just sabotage myself continually. Why???
I'm considering joining a gym as there is a good one near my work - and as I say this, I roll my eyes. I do this all the time:
1. I get all desperate/motivated and join a gym
2. Stick with it for three months
3. Something interrupts my ways (crazy work, illness, crazy life)
4. I derail completely
5. I announce "I'm just not a gym person and that's ok" and then pay money each month for a service I don't use until the annual contract is up
6. Months and months (or even years) pass and I slowly start to look gym-ward again.
It would be frightening to see how much money I've put toward weight-loss stuff (books, equipment, gym memberships, WW stuff, exercise videos). Frightening - and I think part of the reason I do it is because once I plunk money down on something, I immediately feel accomplished, as if I had dropped 20lbs right there. Which of course I celebrate with a glass of wine a piece of cake. BECAUSE I MAKE SUCH GREAT SENSE.

In the poem, much of Fafnir's strength and invincibility is attributed to this symbol worn between his brows, and many Norse warriors would follow in his stead wearing this symbol to grant them the dragon's ferocity. In addition to the legend, each arm of the Helm of Awe resembles the Old Norse Z rune, which symbolized protection and victory in battle.

Of course, a well-set table includes a beautiful cutlery set. At Bloomingville you can find both the classic silver cutlery, the modern black cutlery and of course the popular and smart gold cutlery. Every cutlery drawer should have both ordinary cutlery and barbecue cutlery. Barbecue cutlery is especially suitable for the delicious red steak, and the burger that is too big to be eaten with your hands. Bon appetite.
Decorate with kitchen utensils
All kitchens need many kitchen utensils for different purposes. A cake roll, measuring spoons, whisk and salad cutlery - just to name a few. At Bloomingville you can find a large selection of practical and beautiful kitchen utensils for your kitchen.
We recommend that you invest in some kitchen utensils that you can enjoy for many years. You can either stick to one material such as wood or mix and match with steel and marble to achieve a unique composition.
The cutting board should be out of the drawer
Unfortunately, many people hide their cutting board away in the drawer or cabinet, and that's a shame. A cutting board can be extremely decorative - especially if your kitchen is primarily black and white. If you choose a wooden cutting board, it can help to add some warmth to the room, while a marble cutting board adds elegance.
Serving dishes
Invite your friends for a delicious tapas evening and serve ham, sausage and cheese on beautiful serving dishes and bread in braided baskets. Serving dishes can be used in many ways. You can also serve the birthday cake on a round serving platter or serve a decorative and delicious candy bowl on an elongated platter. Only your imagination sets the limits.

Bible Encyclopedias
The 1901 Jewish Encyclopedia
Capital of Cuyahoga county, Ohio, U. S. A.; situated at the mouth of the Cuyahoga River, and an important port on Lake Erie. The history of its Jewish community dates back to the year 1837, when a Bavarian, Simson Thorman, settled here. He was soon followed by others of his countrymen—Cleveland being then a thriving town of about 6,000 inhabitants—and in 1839 the colony had increased sufficiently to warrant the establishment of a permanent religious organization.
This first congregation, called The Israelitish Society, began with twenty members. In 1842 it was divided, the seceding branch forming the Anshe Chesed society; but four years later these two again united, and formed the Anshe Chesed congregation, the oldest existing religious organization in the town. Its first synagogue was built on a lot exchanged for land which had been presented to the Anshe Chesed society, for building purposes, by Leonard Case, a wealthy non-Jewish landowner.
First Settlements.
Dissensions in 1848 resulted in the withdrawal of members, who in 1850 formed the Tifereth Israel congregation, the second of the now existing congregations. A legacy of $3,000 bequcathed by Judah Touro of New Orleans in 1854, purchased the site upon which its first synagogue was erected. These two congregations have always been the leading factors in Cleveland Jewry—the Anshe Chesed representing the Conservative branch, its present membership being 210; the Tifereth Israel, the Radical Reform, with a membership of 513, and a Sabbath school enrolment of 775. Both are prosperous, and worship in splendid modern edifices.
The rabbis of Anshe Chesed congregation have been: Fuld, 1850; E. Hertzman, 1860-61; G. M. Cohen, 1861-66; Nathan, 1866-67; Gustave M. Cohen, 1867-75; M. Tintner, 1875-76; M. Machol, the present incumbent, from 1876.
The rabbis of Tifereth Israel congregation have been: Isidor Kalisch, 1850-55; Wolf Fassbinder, 1855-57; Jacob Cohen, 1857-66; G. M. Cohen, 1866-1867; Jacob Mayer, 1867-74; Aaron Hahn, 1874-92; Moses J. Gries, the present incumbent, from 1892.
The congregation next in importance is the B'ne Yeshurun Hungarian, which was founded in 1865, reorganized in 1886, and has (1903) a present membership of about 200. Its rabbi is Dr. Sigmund Drechsler.
The year 1881 saw the arrival of the first Russian refugees, who, in point of numbers, have since become a highly important part of the community. Besides the three leading congregations mentioned, there are no less than eleven minor congregations, mostly Russian, with a combined membership of about 700—the largest of them, Beth Hamidrash Hagodol Beth Israel, having 600 seat-holders. There are also many so-called "ḥebrahs," formed only for services during the principal holidays. On Oct. 17, 1885, the first American Rabbinical Conference was held in Cleveland. The first annual conference of of the existing Conference of American Rabbis was held in Cleveland, July 13, 1890.
The Jewish Orphan Asylum of Cleveland, founded by the Independent Order of B'nai B'rith, District No. 2, was established in 1868; its superintendent since 1878 has been Dr. S. Wolfenstein. This institution, which shelters 500 children, has become famous, being considered a model of its kind (see article thereon in "Ohio State Bulletin of Charities and Corrections," vol. 4:47), and exerting a wide-spread influence in furnishing (from its trained assistants) superintendents and matrons for other similar institutions.The heads of the Jewish orphan asylums of San Francisco, Atlanta, Chicago, Philadelphia, and Rochester were formerly assistants at the Cleveland institution. The Educational League, formed for the higher education of orphans, and now a national organization, was founded in Cleveland in 1896.
Charitable and Other Organizations.
In 1875 the Hebrew Relief Association, the oldest benevolent society of importance, was organized; in 1890 it joined the National Conference of Jewish Charities. Its annual income is about $4,500. There are many lesser charitable organizations in the community, among them the Daughters of Israel, the oldest women's benevolent society, founded in 1860. The Russian part of the community has recently developed several of its own. In 1881 the Sir Moses Montefiore Home for Aged and Infirm Israelites, founded by the Order Kesher Shel Barzel, was established in the city. It has at present 54 inmates. In 1889 the Young Men's Hebrew Association was formed; but after a more or less active life of eight or nine years it went out of existence in the fall of 1899, for want of interest and support.
In 1894 the Council of Jewish Women was organized by the federation of the older women's societies—the Benevolent Society, the Sewing Society, the Personal Service Society, and others. This organization joined the National Council of Jewish Women in 1896, and has since become an active power in educational and philanthropic work. It assumes the care of the sick poor, and in this works jointly with the older society, the Hebrew Relief Association, in which charity the larger part of its funds is expended. It supports also a free Sabbath-school of about 500 children, a working girls' club of 160 members, a free kindergarten, and several other departments. Its annual expenditure is nearly $3,000. In 1899 an educational organization, called the Council Educational Alliance, was formed, and a building for its use was presented by Moritz Joseph. Though not a social settlement, its work is along settlement lines; being educational and social in character, and having a resident director. In its building are a large gymnasium with baths, a free public library with reading-rooms, and club, class, and social rooms. Courses of free lectures and entertainments are given during the winter. A public playground is maintained by the Alliance. The monthly expenditure is $400; the average monthly attendance (1902) was about 25,000.
The Jewish lodges in Cleveland are as follows: Independent Order B'nai B'rith, 3; Independent Order Sons of Benjamin, 9; Order B'rith Abraham, 5; Order Kesher Shel Barzel, 2; Independent Order Free Sons of Israel, 2; Order Knights of Joseph, 7. The B'nai B'rith lodges now form Cleveland Lodge, No. 16. There are also several Zionist societies and two newspapers, "The Jewish Review and Observer," an amalgamation of the "Hebrew Observer," founded in 1888, and the "Jewish Review," founded 1893; and a Yiddish paper which has led a precarious existence under various names, and is now (1903) appearing as the "Jewish Free Press."
In a total population of about 400,000, estimates place the number of Jews between 15,000 and 25,000.Of these not more than 7,000 to 9,000 are permanently affiliated with any religious organization.
The older part of the community is rapidly increasing in wealth and importance, an extensive cloak and clothing manufacturing interest being almost entirely under its control. Its members are also well represented among the prominent merchants, and in law, medicine, art, and music.
Social Status.
The younger part of the community, the Russian and Polish element, is also rapidly forging to the front. Some of its earlier arrivals have already attained to affluence; and they also are well represented in the medical profession. The majority, however, are still small tradesmen and pedlers, with a good percentage of tailors, cloak-makers, cigar-makers, carpenters, shoemakers, plumbers. etc.
The early struggles of the Jews of Cleveland were perhaps more severe than those of other communities, and development was slower. It is indeed only within the last decade that university education has become fairly general; and perhaps it is for this reason that Cleveland has not given more Jews of prominence to the world. The best known now living here is Dr. Marcus Rosenwasser, for some years dean of the Wooster Medical College, and for many years professor of abdominal surgery in the Cleveland College of Physicians and Surgeons. In the early days Benjamin F. Peixotto was a resident and active communal worker here. Simon Wolf also lived here for some years. Besides these the community boasts of but two famous sons—the artists George P. M. Peixotto and Louis Loeb.
The religious attitude of the community differs but little from that of others in the West, save perhaps in that the Reform movement has advanced more rapidly in Cleveland than elsewhere. All shades and varieties of Judaism are to be found, from the most rigidly Orthodox to the ultra-radical Reform—on the one hand, an unswerving adherence to tradition; on the other, at Tifereth Israel synagogue, now called "The Temple," almost an entire abolition of it. The Temple congregation worships on Sunday, a large number of its attendance being non-Jews. It has abolished the reading of the Torah and practically all Hebrew from its service and Sabbath-school. Its Sabbath school session is held on Sunday afternoon. In its house of worship are given regular public courses of lectures and entertainments. It has a public library and reading-room; and recently a large, well-equipped gymnasium, with baths, has been added.

View the Other Notes tab for more detailed instructions.
Note Having issues getting screenshots to load on the screenshots tab, hopefully they'll be up soon.
This plugin adds the ability to create a library of Minecraft items/blocks/recipes/monsters etc.
Option to auto insert item information, or shortcodes are available.
- [mcitem-recipe] – Inserts a crafting table that will display what items are needed to craft the current item.
- [mcitem-stats] – Inserts a table listing the stats of the item such as Points of Protection, Health, Durability, etc…
- [mcitem-sources] – Inserts a table with mini-item images of the item/monster that the current item comes from.
On the custom post type edit page, there are 3 boxes:
1) Minecraft Stats – The following fields are available:
- Block/Item ID: Minecraft Item or Block ID
- Stack Count: If stackable, how many per stack?
- Health: How much health does the monster or critter have?
- Heals For: How much health is returned when used?
- Damages For: How much damage is done when used?
- Points of Protection: How many points of protection does the item give? (Max 10)
- Attack Strength: How much is the attack strength?
- Durability: How much durability does the item have?
- Hunger Restoration: How much hunger is restored? (Usually a max of 6)
2) Source Options – Provides drop down boxes of items/monsters that have been assigned as a Source.
3) Craftable Options
- Drop down selection of items assigned as a Crafting Station (ie. Crafting Table, Furnace)
- # of items that are crafted at a time.
- Up to 9 slots used with drop downs of items assigned as a Material.
- Format of recipe table of which 3 are available, Crafting Table, Furnace and Brewing.
28 MC Item (a custom taxonomy) Categories are automatically created when the plugin is activated. These are used for sorting just like post categories and can be added to menus in WordPress's built in menu system.
Only 4 of these are required for the plugin to work.
- Craftable
- Material
- Crafting Station
- Source
The others you can create/add/delete as you see fit.
Note When the plugin is first activated, the 5 parent categories will show up in Minecraft Item > MC Categories. The other 23 will be there, but for some reason they will not show up there. To fix this, simply add another MC Category then go back to the MC Categories (since new ones are added via ajax) and the children will show up. Then you can just delete the new one you created. Not sure if this is a bug in WordPress or if it's something I am doing wrong.
Note To get the crafting table, item stats, and sources table to display when viewing the item, you need to either turn on the Auto Insert options, or enter the shortcodes on the item page.
If you just wanted to have a library of items without using the craftable options, or displaying the source of items, then all you need to do is create a new MC Item, enter the title, description, excerpt if your theme supports excerpts, and categorize it. You could also just use the stats block.
However, if you want to use the full functionality, displaying the recipes for how to create items, the source of raw materials, etc… you need to start with the sources and then build up to the final item. I highly suggest the first 3 items you add are the Crafting Stations… Crafting Table, Furnace, and the Brewing stand. You don't need to add their recipe to make them yet, but they are required for crafting all of the craftable items. Just enter the title, description, add a featured image, and assign them to the Crafting Station category. You can come back later to add their recipe for how to build them.
On to the cake!
Cake requires Milk which comes from a Cow, Sugar which comes from Sugar Cane, an Egg from a Chicken, and Wheat which can be grown.
Note Once you've added an item you can reuse it in other recipes, so once you get more and more of the raw materials entered, this process becomes easier since you're not entering every single item anew.
So for creating a cake, we would first enter the Cow. Add a new MC Item, Cow as title, description as you see fit, add the Cow to the Source category and to the Critters category. We add it to the Source category to mark it is as useable in other items as a source… such as Milk and Leather. You can then scroll down and also enter the Health of the cow, which is 10. For the icons to display, add a featured image. The icon sizes used are 50 x 50 px, you can add any size image and a 50 x 50 px image will automatically be generated via WordPress's built in cropping/thumbnail system.
Now we are done with the cow, go ahead and publish.
Next we will add Milk, follow the same steps as above except for the following… For categories we want to add it to Material. We add it to Material so that it can be used as a material in the crafting options and will display in the drop downs for the slots. Then if you keep the categories that are default, enter it into the Food child category under the Item Library parent category.
(Optional) Scroll down and enter the minecraft item ID if you'd like. You can obtain the item ID from minecraftwiki.net or mincraftopia.com
Now in the Source option block, choose Cow from the drop down menu. You can add more sources by clicking the link below the drop down.
We are done with the milk, so you can Publish.
Do the same for the rest of the ingredients, adding thier sources and information. Some items have stats which you can enter into the Minecraft Stats.
Now for the cake! The entry is the same as above with a couple differences. For the cake we use the Crafting Options. Add the Cake to the Craftable category, then scroll down to the Craftable Options block.
Here you will see a drop down of the crafting stations, an input box to mark how many of an item are crafted, and up to 9 slots to enter items. Since in Minecraft you need to put certain items in certain slots in order for the outcome to be what you expect. If you added all of the materials used for crafting a cake, you can select them in each slot. The format options to the right are for the different crafting formats available. By choosing which format, the recipe on the item page will display using that format. For a cake, it uses a crafting table, so you would use format 1.
After all of the options are set, you can publish your cake and view it to see how it looks.
You can view screenshots of what was just gone over on the Screenshots tab.

September 14, 2018
Last September, President Donald Trump told Puerto Ricans they should be grateful Hurricane Maria had not caused a "real catastrophe like Katrina."
However, mounting evidence now reveals the death toll for Maria far surpasses initial estimates. New research puts the number close to 3,000, adjusted up from just a few dozen when the president made his now infamous remark. This is an estimate, but it is virtually certain that the number is in the thousands. The president has denied these numbers, but without offering any evidence to support his claims.
The devastating truth is that most of the deaths in Puerto Rico were avoidable. The majority of fatalities were not caused by the hurricane's force, but by the failure of the U.S. disaster response system. Many people died in the days and months after Maria because they lacked access to basic lifesaving goods and services.
The president's comparison between the Katrina disaster and Puerto Rico's plight after Maria highlights a major underlying problem. Using fatalities to gauge the magnitude of disaster assumes that all disasters are made the same. The disaster following Hurricane Maria shows us that this is fundamentally untrue.
Understanding this fact is necessary to grapple with how such a disaster was allowed to unfold on U.S. soil, despite one of the biggest and most well-prepared disaster response forces in the world.
More than 3.3 million Americans were caught in Hurricane Maria's path. Almost all of the deaths occurred in the aftermath of the hurricane.
Compare that to Katrina, when a large proportion of the fatalities occurred immediately during the hurricane. Failing levies caused many to drown as their homes were engulfed in water.
If judged only by the official and known death toll during the first few days or weeks, Puerto Rico appeared to have escaped a catastrophe. In reality, the early declaration that Puerto Rico had escaped catastrophe and that the federal government had already done its job may have been deadlier than the hurricane itself.
While the initial death toll was low, virtually every other indicator suggested Puerto Rico would be reeling from the disaster for years and that lives were still in danger. Basic lifesaving services were inoperational, power was down on the whole island, and people were stranded around the island with no access to clean water or any kind of help.
Disasters can be particularly devastating for those with poor access to government services, lower incomes, or living further from population centers. Many Puerto Ricans fit all three conditions, and most fit at least one or two.
Even if the death toll had not yet grown by the time the president made his remarks, it was already clear in the immediate aftermath of the hurricane that the death toll would grow immensely in the days and weeks to follow.
Even then, the fatality count alone is woefully inadequate for understanding the depth of the disaster still unfolding in Puerto Rico. Considering disaster in terms of fatalities does not capture the hardship experienced by survivors. Although survivors did not pay with their lives, many lives were still changed in devastating and often permanent ways.
Some of these ways are tangible and relatively easy to measure. Increased levels of disability, either directly because of a storm injury or because other conditions were not cared for properly while hospitals were shut, higher incidence of malnutrition, homelessness and lower school participation are good examples. Others are much less tangible. For example, the mental health consequences of disaster can stay with survivors for a lifetime. But all of these consequences leave both the individuals and their communities worse off, slowing recovery.
Disaster responders know that these damages occur in virtually every disaster, and they are consequences not captured or foreshadowed by the fatality count. Even if the true fatality count had been a mere 64, as the original death count indicated, a strong response would have been necessary nonetheless to prevent people's lives from being irreparably upended.
The inadequate response not only caused more fatalities – it also made virtually every surviving Puerto Rican worse off. Puerto Rico may not have appeared to be a catastrophe at the time, looking only at the death toll, but the slow and inadequate response all but ensured that it would be.

This site offers a variety of recipes that particularly focus on Italian Cooking. Everyone enjoys a hearty meal and Italians are the best at creating these concoctions using an amazing array of ingrediants. Italians offer many assorted garden delights like marinated eggplant, marinated artichoke hearts, caponata (assorted garden vegetables), roasted peppers, mixed garden salad ala vinaigrette, cheese peppers in red wine vinegar, button mushrooms vinaigrette, and sun-dried tomatoes.
Canning Tomatoes
Tomatoes should be picked or bought at peak season, beginning about mid-July through late September. I find that the first crop is usually the best quality.
Tomatoes should be almost perfect – ripe, red in color (the higher the intensity of red the higher the lycopene content), minimal seeds, minimal water, thick, meaty, and blemish-free skin–spotless, unmarked, and sweet.
If you find tomatoes in your batch that are discolored or spotted or have other imperfections, these would be the perfect candidates to use for "Puree" Canning.
To preserve tomatoes in their natural state is a beautiful thing. To store this product in abundance is a "simple treasure" that you can enjoy all year round.Related: Potatos
Every year during peak season, mid-July through late September, I look forward to canning my 300 jars of tomatoes. This supply is for my family, and also to fill gift baskets for friends and neighbors.
I use two canning methods for my tomatoes, pure plum and puree. I use two methods because it allows me to have more options regarding the texture of the tomatoes for my desired recipe.
For example: If I'm making steak pizzaiola – I want my tomatoes crushed with skin; If I'm making a traditional Italian sauce with meat – I want my tomatoes smooth; If I want to make a Tuscan tomato soup – then I want to use my puree Tomato.
Pizza, of course, can vary. It can be smooth and it can be crushed with skin. Some dishes call for scattered or torn tomatoes which are excellent for Foccachia bread
Another misconception about tomatoes – Tomatoes are not only used for making pasta dishes. There are hundreds of dishes used with tomatoes that do not include pasta at all.
To name a few: shrimp marichiara, veal/chicken cutlet parmagiana, tomato soup, assorted types of fish – pizzaiola style – or zuppa di pesce, beef – like beef stew, veal/fish/chicken in many varieties – cooked, baked or steamed with tomatoes,vegetables cooked with tomatoes – like stuffed peppers, stuffed eggplant, beef or chicken soup – with added tomato for color,tripe – baked mussels, assorted pizzas,vegetable minestrone dish, garnished hot dogs with onions savored in a hot tangy tomato sauce, rissotto dishes, cacciatori dishes made with braised chicken or meats like duck, quail, pheasant, etc., etc. The list is endless. Tomatoes can enhance almost any dish.
