The Civil Rights Act of 1957 was introduced in Eisenhower's presidency and was the act that kick-started the civil rights legislative programme that was to include the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the 1965 Voting Rights Act. Eisenhower had not been known for his support of the civil rights movement. Rather than lead the country on the issue, he had to respond to problems such as in Little Rock. He never publicly gave support to the civil rights movement believing that you could not force people to change their beliefs; such changes had to come from the heart of the people involved, not as the result of legislation from Washington.
However, he did push through during his presidency the 1957 Civil Rights Act. Cynics have stated that this was simply to win the 'Black Vote'. Up to 1957, and for a variety of reasons, only 20% of African Americans had registered to vote. In Britain, the government takes the initiative in sending out voter registration forms which individuals have to return. In America it is up to each person to take the responsibility to register their vote. In the South plain intimidation and official apathy and obstacles meant that very few African Americans registered their vote. Those that did not disqualified themselves from voting.
The 1957 Civil Rights Bill aimed to ensure that all African Americans could exercise their right to vote. It wanted a new division within the federal Justice Department to monitor civil rights abuses and a joint report to be done by representatives of both major political parties (Democrats and Republicans) on the issue of race relations.
Eisenhower, perhaps shocked by the news broadcasts of Little Rock, publicly supported the bill (it was, after all, his Attorney-General who had produced the bill). However, the final act became a much watered done affair due to the lack of support among the Democrats. The Senate leader, Lyndon Baines Johnson, was a Democrat, and he realised that the bill and its journey through Congress, could tear apart his party as it had right wing Southern senators in it and liberal west coast ones.
In keeping with Congressional procedure, Johnson sent the bill to a judiciary committee which would examine it for flaws, controversial and unconstitutional points etc. This committee was led by Senator James Eastland – senator for Mississippi. Committee heads have great powers in changing bills and altering them almost beyond recognition. Eastland did just this especially after the very public outburst by Senator Richard Russell from Georgia who claimed that it was an example of the Federal government wanting to impose its laws on states, thus weakening highly protected states rights of self-government as stated in the Constitution. He was most critical of the new division which would be created within the Justice Department
Johnson had other reasons for taking his stance. No civil rights act had been introduced into America for 82 years. If this one went through successfully and had support from both parties, it would do his position within the Democrats a great deal of good as he had plans in 1957 to be the party's future presidential candidate. If he could get the credit for maintaining party unity and get the support of the South's Democrats for 'killing the bill', then his position would be greatly advanced. If he was seen to be pushing through the first civil rights act in 82 years he hoped to get the support of the more liberal west and east coast Democrat senators.
The Civil Rights Act of 1957 maintained the mood of the bill – it aimed to increase the number of registered black voters and stated its support for such a move. However, any person found guilty of obstructing someone's right to register barely faced the prospect of punishment as a trial by jury in the South meant the accused had to face an all-white jury as only whites could be jury members.
Political support and public confidence for the Act had been eroded when Eisenhower publicly admitted that he did not understand parts of it.
The African American community were divided with regards to the bill. University professor, Ralph Bunche, saw the bill as a sham and stated that he would have preferred no act at all rather than the 1957 Act. However, Bayard Rustin of CORE, believed that it was important because of its symbolism – the first civil rights legislation for 82 years. He realised that it could have been better but that almost certainly it was only the first of such acts and that it would be built on.

Date nights can become prohibitively expensive once you require a babysitter, but starting a parenting co-op can eliminate the cost and even introduce you to some new friends.
Carrie Kirby at Wise Bread suggests organizing a group of fellow parents into a babysitting exchange. Families can earn points or credits for babysitting others' kids, then redeem them later to have their own kids looked after. The credits system is egalitarian and fair, and would be easy to organize with Google Docs or a dedicated service like sit4sit. If you recruit enough families to your group, you probably won't have much trouble finding a sitter for a specific time, and as long as you put in a little work beforehand, you won't have to pay a dime for it either.
While I imagine this is something that many parents do informally with friends, recruiting more members and establishing a points system can avoid hurt feelings and even expand your social circle.

The Administration believes that the Republican Leadership's introduction of H.R. 4250 clearly demonstrates that there is broad-based consensus on the need for Federal legislation to ensure that Americans have patient protections. The President is committed to working with the Congress to pass an enforceable patients' bill of rights this year.
Unfortunately, H.R. 4250 is seriously flawed legislation. It covers too few people, it provides too few patient protections, and it contains unnecessary and irrelevant provisions that undermine the chances for a bipartisan agreement on a patients' bill of rights. As such, the Administration strongly opposes H.R. 4250, as currently drafted, and the President's senior advisors would recommend that he veto this bill if it were presented to him by the Congress.
First, H.R. 4250 does not apply to the individual insurance market and therefore millions of Americans would not be assured these patient protections. The President has repeatedly stated that every health plan should have to provide its enrollees with a patients' bill of rights.
Second, this legislation does not provide many critical provisions that are necessary to assure high quality care. The following protections are either absent from this legislation or are insufficient:
Third, H.R. 4250 contains provisions that have nothing to do with patients' rights and only serve to reduce the likelihood that an acceptable agreement can be reached on this important issue. Recognizing our concerns with these provisions, the Congress agreed as recently as last year to keep them off bipartisan legislation -- specifically, the Balanced Budget Act of 1997. These provisions include:
For these reasons, the President agrees with provider organizations, such as the American Medical Association and the American Nurses Association, and virtually every major consumer organization that H.R. 4250 is insufficient and does not provide patients with the protections they need and deserve. While we have serious concerns with H.R. 4250, the President remains committed to passing a strong, enforceable and bipartisan patients' bill of rights this year. The bipartisan substitute legislation offered by Mr. Dingell and Dr. Ganske covers all health plans, contains strong enforceable patient protections, and has no "poison pill" provisions that have nothing to do with these patient protections. As such, the President would sign H.R. 3605 into law. It is the President's hope that Republicans and Democrats can work across party lines to put progress ahead of partisanship and pass legislation that provides Americans with the patients' protections they need and deserve.
Pay-As-You-Go Scoring
H.R. 4250 would affect both direct spending and receipts; therefore, it is subject to the pay-as-you-go requirement of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990. OMB's preliminary scoring estimate of the bill is under development.

text: METAPRIME by Eminence Labs is an oral steroid which contains 10mg of the hormone Methandienone. METAPRIME (Methandienone) is the most popular name for this steroid by bodybuilders. METAPRIME is credited with being the second anabolic steroid ever created, with the first being testosterone. METAPRIME is the most popular oral that there is. It is popular with those new to anabolic substances due to how quickly it provides a gain in mass and strength. Due to its fast effects on the body, METAPRIME (Methandienone) makes a great "jump start" to any cycle. Here, bodybuilders, will take the drug at the beginning of a cycle to start seeing results immediately while waiting for the slower esters of the injectable anabolics to start taking affect. Users of METAPRIME often report significant gains in strength and muscle mass. METAPRIME (Methandienone) is also famous for the intense "pump" that it gives the muscles during workouts. This is mostly due to the fact that METAPRIME dramatically increases protein synthesis and nitrogen retention within the muscle cells. Mg for Mg, METAPRIME is considered one of the strongest anabolic orals available to bodybuilders. It is important to note that some do suffer from estrogen related problems with the usage of Methandienone, including bloat and sometimes "gyno" (the development of female tissue under the nipples in males resulting in unattractive and often painful lumps in this area). Because of this, bodybuilders may prefer to use an estrogen inhibitor such as anastrozole or tamoxifen while on this steroid. Like many other orals, METAPRIME is a C17-alpha alkylated compound and therefore can be potentially toxic to the liver. It is recommended that bodybuilders using METAPRIME also incorporate a liver protectant into their daily supplement regime, and that they keep their dosages of METAPRIME in reasonable range and try to limit cycle duration to 10 weeks or less. METAPRIME (Methandienone) can make a great addition to any cycle, and is commonly stacked with all injectable steroids. As mentioned earlier, METAPRIME makes a great start to any cycle, but it is also important to note that bodybuilders frequently use METAPRIME as a "bridge" between cycles and as a means to recovery from a cycle. Here, METAPRIME (Methandienone) can be taken in a low dose (10mgs a day) during PCT or in between cycles to keep androgen levels high and to maintain strength and mass, while allowing the body's natural testosterone levels to be regained. METAPRIME (Methandienone) is not a very popular steroid among women bodybuilders due to the fact that it is very prone to causing harsh masculizing side effects. Males typically use METAPRIME (Methandienone) in a dosage range of 25-100mgs a day for a period of 4-10wks, and 10mgs a day for bridging or PCT purposes for as long as needed.

Page Summary:
There is simply no way to accurately comprehend the barbarity of abortion without being exposed to the photographic evidence which so clearly demonstrates that abortion is a brutal act of violence.
Some people argue that abortion is an act of mercy, an expression of love towards a child who would otherwise be forced to endure a life of hardship. But is abortion an act of mercy? Or is it a brutal act of violence? Let's consider the photographic evidence.
Though pictures of aborted embryos and fetuses are shocking, they are no more shocking than the act of abortion itself. Until you see what abortion does, it is difficult to grasp how violent abortion is. Pictures take the mask off, just as they have for other injustices in modern history. Referring to the horrific lynching of 14-year-old Emmett Till and the subsequent photos published in a 1955 issue of Jet magazine, Reverend Al Sharpton remarks:
People can sort of deal with things they don't have to look at, but it's hard to view a corpse and turn your head... And that's why generations unborn owe [Emmett's mom] a lot, because she was able to graphically bring home what a thousand speeches couldn't bring home... The easiest thing would have been to say, "No, close the casket, I can't bear it." But she somehow found the strength to say, "I'll bear my pain, to save some other mother from having to go through this." And because she put the picture of this young man's body on the conscience of America, she might have saved thousands of young black men and young black women's lives.2

Abort73 does not support or condone violence against abortion providers nor associate with groups that do.
The decision to unseal Emmett's coffin was not an easy or pleasant one. Neither was holding an open-casket funeral and allowing the pictures of her mutilated son to be shown to an entire nation and world. Those photographs, however, helped create an entire generation of young activists who could no longer remain apathetic towards America's racial problem.
The photographs on this page are equally unpleasant, but as Reverend Sharpton points out, "People can sort of deal with things they don't have to look at." Day after day, thousands of tiny human beings are quietly destroyed behind sterile clinic doors. Abortion pictures graphically bring home what a thousand speeches can't. Naomi Wolf, one of the most celebrated feminists of the modern era, questions anyone who is willing to support abortion without also having the stomach to face its violent reality. She says it this way:
How can we charge that it is vile and repulsive for pro-lifers to brandish vile and repulsive images if the images are real? To insist that the truth is in poor taste is the very height of hypocrisy. Besides, if these images are often the facts of the matter, and if we then claim that it is offensive for pro-choice women to be confronted by them, then we are making the judgment that women are too inherently weak to face a truth about which they have to make a grave decision. This view of women is unworthy of feminism.3
Naomi Wolfe notwithstanding, abortion-rights advocates often complain that the abortion pictures in circulation today do not accurately reflect most abortion procedures. This assertion is true but misleading. Well over half of the abortions performed in the United States occur prior to seven weeks (9 weeks LMP4). The reason you so rarely see abortion pictures prior to seven weeks is because embryos who are killed before this point are so small, and the violence is so intense, that they are destroyed beyond recognition. Their bodies are completely obliterated. This does not mean the procedure is more benign than it would have been later in pregnancy; it just means the destruction is so thorough that there is nothing left to take a picture of.
Of course, even when the early embryo is still whole, few cameras have the ability to get a good picture. The National Abortion Federation (NAF) reports that the embryo is so small at first heartbeat (21 days postconception) that it "predates the ability to image it."5 The NAF goes on to say that the "absence of cardiac activity in an embryo measuring greater then 3.5 mm in its longest axis had 100% positive predictive value for embryonic demise."6 These are incredibly small human beings we are talking about, but their diminutive size is not for a lack of complex development. The heart starts beating after three weeks, followed by the appearance of the hands, feet, eyes, and nose in week four. The embryo doubles in size during week five, but still only measures 10 millimeters. When these tiny bodies meet the overwhelming force of suction curettage, it is no wonder that nothing is recognizable when the cannula is emptied—which is why abortion pictures of older embryos and fetuses are so important. The violence from one procedure to the next is the same. It is only because we can better recognize the "products of conception" in later abortions that they seem so much more shocking. Do not be fooled. The violence of later abortions actually does comparatively less bodily harm to the fetus than an earlier abortion does to the embryo. And if you still maintain there is a moral difference between an earlier abortion and a later abortion, consider the fact the abortion industry makes no such distinction. The NAF trains their abortionists to not raise moral objections, no matter when or why the abortion is performed.
When the late Dr. Richard Selzer penned his landmark Esquire essay, "What I Saw at the Abortion," he was a professor of surgery at Yale University. He described himself as an "enlightened" man with "no overriding religious posture"—one who had never exhibited any squeamishness at the sight of blood, disease, or tumor. And yet this is what he wrote after observing a colleague perform a "routine" 24-week abortion:
In the room we are six: two physicians, two nurses, the patient, and me. The participants are busy, very attentive. I am not at all busy—but I am no less attentive. I want to see.
I see something!
It is unexpected, utterly unexpected, like a disturbance in the earth, a tumultuous jarring. I see something other than what I expected here. I see a movement—a small one. But I have seen it. And then I see it again. And now I see that it is the hub of the needle in the woman's belly that has jerked. First to one side. Then to the other side. Once more it wobbles, is tugged, like a fishing lined nibbled by a sunfish.
Again! And I know!
It is the fetus that worries thus. It is the fetus struggling against the needle. Struggling? How can that be? I think: that cannot be. I think: the fetus feels no pain, cannot feel fear, has no motivation. It is merely reflex. I point to the needle. It is a reflex, says the doctor…
A reflex, the doctor says. I hear him. But I saw something. I saw something in that mass of cells understand that it must bob and butt. And I see it again! I have an impulse to shove to the table—it is just a step—seize that needle, pull it out. We are not six, I think. I think we are seven.
Something strangles there. An effort, its effort, binds me to it. I do not shove to the table. I take no little step. It would be madness. Everyone here wants the needle where it is. Six do. No, five do…
I know. We cannot feed the great numbers. There is no more room. I know, I know. It is woman's right to refuse the risk, to decline the pain of childbirth. And an unwanted child is a very great burden… And yet, there is the flick of that needle. I saw it. I felt—in that room, a pace away, life prodded, life fending off. I saw life avulsed—swept by flood, blackening—then out…
Does this sound like an argument? I hope not. I am not trying to argue. I am only saying I've seen. The flick. Whatever else may be said in abortion's defense, the vision of that other defense will not vanish from my eyes. What I saw I saw as that: a defense, a motion from, an effort away. And it has happened that you cannot reason with me now. For what can language do against the truth of what I saw?7
For those of us not in position to witness an abortion first hand, we must rely upon the pictures of abortion that we can see. Having seen them, what language can we possibly use to justify such brutal violence?

Read review from Musicweb International, April 2011
" ...Specialist John Paul has recorded this CD, the fourth volume in a series from Lyrichord which will eventually extend to many of Bach's keyboard works, using a single peau de buffe stop … one quilled in soft leather which brushes the string. This facilitates subtle, but completely audible, differences of dynamic according to the speed of touch. The quiet nature of the sound which the Lautenwerck makes should not be overstated. This recording was closely miked and is designed to be heard at low volume, as is the case with clavichord recitals. But there's nothing effete, underwhelming or even particularly delicate about the sound. In fact, it simply resembles a lute … listen to the Sarabande of BWV 811 [tr.4]: it's measured, intimate, careful but neither shy, nor apologetic.
This must be borne in mind when listening to this excellent set of interpretations of Bach's Clavier Suites as must the fact that the mechanics of the instrument - its attack, release, levers and so on - all contribute positively to our appreciation of the act of performance by Paul. His phrasing, tempi, expression and understanding of the relative speeds, lingerings, accelerandi and 'local' intricacies - the way in which the smaller musical motifs are developed - are all ideal.
It's true that Paul is in no rush. He plays in the spirit of the influence exerted by French and Italian traditions during Bach's lifetime. Although these works do not exhibit the jauntiness and sprung elegance of the pure French or galant styles, there is a sensitivity about Paul's playing which has enough robustness to temper any threat of spurious gentility. The result is a series of very human Bach movements. Such an approach is particularly appropriate since it reinforces the sense of Bach first being curious about the music that influenced him, then absorbing its idiom, and finally making it his own. The intimacy and restraint of the Lautenwerck support such an approach well.
We know that Bach expected - probably even intended - such works to be played on various plucked instruments … the autograph of BWV 998 has 'pour le luth o cembal'. This recording makes an excellent contribution to our experience of what is - in effect - the best of both worlds. We also know - as the short but informative liner-note says - that Bach thought particularly highly of his Clavier works. Among the few of his works which he had printed, these take up the most room.
Since many good recordings of these keyboard works exist, it is the extra dimension of hearing them on this instrument that recommends this CD - and the others in the series. Were the performances to be less accomplished, their curiosity value would overtake the deeply satisfying experience of immersing yourself in the lines, textures, dynamics and almost primal world of the music's counterpoint and harmonic invention. As it is, these are accounts to return to and appreciate as fully representative of Bach's infinite creativity."

About the exclusive use of the Peau de Buffle stop
"I think the thing about John Paul's Bach is that if you deprive yourself of the more usual means of expression, either you flop or you find some new avenue of expression. Actually punctuation, almost imperceptible breaks in the phrasing, and the "scanning" (Latin verse if you ever did it), which relies on shorts and longs, i.e. staccato notes and held notes, can if properly handled give you all the expression you need, expression in the sense of guiding the listener subtly through the different episodes and where it exists, the counterpoint.
It's so different, almost like a totally different instrument, which of course always shows musical detail in a new light. John Paul's self-imposed limitation compels him to bring out expression and clarity of line in new ways, being deprived of the piano touch, or the harpsichord's registration possibilities and terrace dynamics. Impossible one might think, but he seems to manage it. It's also very relaxing listening."
Michael Meacock co-founder of the Oryx Recordings label, editor and contributor Baroque Music.org, and The Baroque Music Collection, and The Baroque Music Library
The Clavier Suites of J.S. Bach are among the crowning glories of keyboard music in the Baroque Era. In them Bach combines German counterpoint with the current flavors of French and Italian musical fashion to produce nineteen works of gracefulness and brilliance. Here is a new recording of English Suite 6 and the French Overture by John Paul in his series of Bach performed on the lautenwerck Peau de Buffle stop. The lute-like sound of gut strings gently brushed by soft leather quills displays at once the intimacy and the virtuosity of these marvelous works.
Of volume three of this series, American Record Guide said: "[John Paul] has an excellent rapport with the lautenwerck, and his interpretive decisions always serve the greater architecture of the music."

Kurze Beschreibung
The present volume addresses the linguistic categories of Prospective and Proximative, which refer to an event before it actually takes place, in a number of languages spoken in Eurasia. For most treated languages, these categories are described here for the first time. Highlighting historical, areal and typological aspects, the contributions in this book investigate the encoding of proximative and prospective semantics in genetically related and non-related languages.Ausführliche Beschreibung
The present volume addresses the linguistic categories of Prospective and Proximative. Prospective refers to an event which is expected, presumed, or will take place while Proximative refers to its pre-stage; its canonical semantics is 'be going/about to do something'. Highlighting historical, areal and typological aspects, the contributions in this book investigate the encoding of proximative and prospective semantics in genetically related and non-related languages. While Iranian and Turkic languages are the focal point, several contact languages of historical and typological relevance (and potentially of interest for phylogenetic studies), viz. Aramaic, Mongolic, Tungusic, and Uralic, have been included.A comprehensive introductory section discusses both theoretical and methodological issues; it is followed by in-depth analysis articles and shorter case studies, the latter arranged geographically: Prospective and Proximative in languages spoken in Southern Europe, Iran and the Caucasus, Central Asia, Siberia and China. For most of these languages, the categories of Prospective and/or Proximative are described here for the first time.
The research presented in this volume enriches our understanding of the Prospective and Proximative by identifying hitherto unknown encoding strategies, among them discourse, modal and aspectual particles, portmanteau morphemes expressing clusters of proximative and aspectual or evidential semantics, etc. Of particular typological significance are advances in the analysis of the semantic structures of proximative and prospective categories as well as of the sources and grammaticalization paths of the individual forms.
This volume will be an inspiration for further research on the categories of Prospective and Proximative in the languages of Eurasia and beyond. It will be not only of interest for scholars dealing with the respective languages and language families, but also of great importance for historical and areal linguistics, language typology and theoretical linguistics.

Penny Nelson interviewed Douglas Rushkoff for HiLobrow magazine at a particularly sweet spot in time: a month and a half after the beginning of the occupation of Wall Street. Much like OWS and its global precursors and offshoots in 2011, we feel that the issues raised are just as, if not more, relevant today. We'll be presenting the full interview in three parts. Today we kick off with the intro, the origin of the chartered corporation, the gross mis-characterization of the late Middle Ages, and the God that lives inside money. In a couple of days, tune in for more.
How did we get to where we are now, with Wall Street occupied by a mini-tent city while financial instruments increasingly funnel funds towards the already-wealthy? How did we get to a state where corporations seem to have more legal (and financial) access to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness than the average citizen? How did we get to a point where money is invisible and computerized, yet distributed ever more unevenly?
One thing is certain: we didn't get here overnight. In his book, Life Inc., author and media ecologist Douglas Rushkoff traces the rise and rise of the corporation, from its beginnings in the late Middle Ages, through its adolescence in the Industrial Revolution, to its present global and virtualized maturity. Life Inc. remains as relevant as when it was first published in 2009, as the public debate over the economy becomes more widespread, and the need for an accurate long view intensifies.
In this #longreads interview, Rushkoff locates the roots of the corporation in the Renaissance, explains how the corporation has made us over into its own image, reveals why there's a God on the money, and warns what we're really buying into when we buy that mortgage. But it's not all talk. In addition to looking back, Rushkoff looks forward to offer some practical — and provocative — ideas on how to unincorporate, and better occupy, our lives.
1. Vaal Is Hungry, We Must Feed Vaal
Peggy Nelson: The corporation is not a recent phenomenon; it goes back hundreds of years. What is the origin story of the corporation? Where did it come from, and what is it, exactly?
Douglas Rushkoff: The corporation is the result of two innovations: the creation of centralized currency, and the creation of the chartered monopoly. In the late 1300s the upper classes — the aristocrats, the people who had been feudal lords — were becoming less wealthy relative to real people. As the merchant class and people in towns were producing and doing, the relative wealth of the aristocracy was going down, and this was a problem; the aristocrats wanted to continue the system that had been working for them for the last 500 years wherein they didn't have to "do" anything to be rich. So they hit upon the idea of passively investing in other people's industries.
Suppose I am the monarch. I want to make money through your shipping company; how do I get you to let me invest? Well, I use what power I have as a monarch to write up a charter, which means I give you a monopoly in a certain area, and you give me 30% of the shares in the company. The chosen merchant avoids competition and gains protection from bankruptcy, while the king receives loyalty, because the merchants' monopolies are based on keeping him in power. He doesn't mind if a few of the merchant class are as rich as he is, as long as he is able to get still richer as a result.
But this was not the promotion of free-market capitalism. It was the promotion of monopoly, non-market capitalism. It was locking into place a set of players and a set of systems that had nothing to do with the free market. And it changed the bias of these merchants away from innovation; in other words, from "how do I innovate and maintain my competitive edge" to "how do I extract wealth from the realm that I now control?"
PN: Then they'll tend to be conservative because they'll want to maintain what they have and not risk losing it.
DR: Conservative in that sense, but rapacious in another. Say I'm now in charge of the Colonies. What I want to do is extract their wealth; I want to prevent the people who live in the Colonies from creating any value for themselves. If the colonists are going to grow cotton, that's fine, but they're going to use my seeds, my agricultural tools, they're going to use everything from me. If you are a farmer you're allowed to grow the cotton but you have to sell it to me at my prices. You're not allowed to make fabric out of that cotton! Fabricating is creating value. And then you're going to — what? You're going to make it into clothes? Those are clothes you could have bought from me! No, no, no, you must give all the cotton to me, I'll put it on my ship and bring it back to England, then the king's other chartered monopoly, the clothes manufacturer, will make it into clothes, and then I'll ship them back and sell them to you — at a profit.
PN: So it's all export crops?
DR: Right. And anything else I will shoot you for.
PN: And they did!
DR: And they did.
2. Single-handedly Rehabilitating the Middle Ages
DR: So for about three centuries, the middle and merchant classes were doing really well. Towns that had been in shambles since the fall of the Roman Empire and had lived under strict feudalism were finally coming into their own. This all hinged on the use of local currencies — grain receipts — through which people transacted. They were what we would now call "demurrage" currencies that were earned into existence. Towns ended up creating more value than they knew what to do with. They started investing in their infrastructure and their windmills and their water wheels; and also in their future in the form of cathedrals and other tourist attractions.
PN: They didn't get money from Rome to fund their cathedrals?
DR: They did not. The Vatican and central Rome did not build the cathedrals. The funds came from local currency, which was very different than money as we use it now. It was based on grain, which lost value over time. The grain would slowly rot or get eaten by rats or cost money to store, so the money needed to be spent as quickly as possible before it became devalued. And when people spend and spend and spend a lot of money, you end up with an economy that grows very quickly.
Now unlike a capitalist economy where money is hoarded, with local currency, money is moving. The same dollar can end up being the salary for three people rather than just one. There was so much money circulating that they had to figure out what to do with it, how to reinvest it. Saving money was not an option, you couldn't just stick it in the bank and have it grow because it would not grow there, it would shrink. So they paid the workers really well and they shortened the work week to four and in some cases three days per week. And they invested in the future by way of infrastructure — they started to build cathedrals. They couldn't build them all at once, but they took the long view — with three generations of investment they could build an entire cathedral, and their great-grandchildren could live in a rich town! That's how the great cathedrals were built, like Chartres. Some historians actually term the late Middle Ages "The Age of Cathedrals."
They were the best-fed people in the history of Europe; women in England were taller than they are today, and men were taller than they have been at any point in time until the 1970s or 80s (with the recent growth spurt largely the result of hormones in the food supply). Life expectancy of course was still lower; they lacked modern medicine, but people were actually healthier and stronger and better back then, in ways that we don't admit.
That was right before the corporation and the original chartered monopolies were created, before central currency was created and local currencies were outlawed. When everything gets moved into the center, things began to change.
PN: It seems like the Dark Ages were not perhaps so "dark."
DR: Yes, I think that's disinformation. I'm not usually a conspiracy theorist about these things, but I think the reason why we celebrate the Renaissance as a high point of western culture is really a marketing campaign. It was a way for Renaissance monarchs and nation-states, and the industrial age powers that followed, to recast the end of one of the most vibrant human civilizations we've had, as a dark, plague-ridden, horrible time.
Historically, the plague arrived after the invention of the chartered corporation, and after central currency was mandated. Central currency became law, and 40 years later you get the plague. People got that poor that quickly. They were no longer allowed to use the land. It shifted from an abundance model to a scarcity model; from an economy based on annual grain production to one based on gold released by the king.
That's a totally different way of understanding money. Land was no longer a thing the peasants could grow stuff on, land became an investment, land became an asset class for the wealthy. Once it became an asset class they started Partitioning and Enclosure, which meant people weren't allowed to grow stuff on it, so subsistence farming was no longer a viable lifestyle. If you can't do subsistence farming you must find a job, so then you go into the city and volunteer to do unskilled labor in a proto-factory for some guy who wants the least-skilled, cheapest labor possible. You move your whole family to where the work is, into the squalor, where conditions are overcrowded and impoverished — the perfect breeding ground for plague and death.
3. There Is A God, And He's On All The Money
PN: The money that the king was releasing, what was that based on? The other currency was based on grain, it's a direct relationship to how much grain there is, and as the grain degrades, the currency degrades . . .
DR: The king's currency? It was actually not even gold: king's currency was based in the king's imprimatur. It was coin of the realm because his face was stamped on it.
PN: That's fairly abstract.
DR: It is. And because people don't believe in that abstraction, because they're used to grain receipts being based in something real, precious metal was required for the king's currency — silver, gold; they had to use something that was considered valuable so people would believe.
Fast-forward to the 1970s. After four or five centuries of people believing it, Nixon realized that people now do believe, so the currency can be taken off the central metal and just be based on belief. That's when they started putting "In God We Trust" on paper money, when it was taken off the gold standard.
PN: That phrase hadn't always been on there?
DR: No, it was on coins, but it wasn't on bills. Because finally, belief is all that's left.

What is Eczema In Honolulu, HI?
Atopic dermatitis: Overview
Also called: Eczema
This is a common skin disease in children. It is so common that people have given it a few names:
- Eczema (name most people use)
- Dermatitis
- Atopic (a-top-ic) eczema
- Atopic dermatitis
To avoid confusion, we'll use the medical term atopic dermatitis.
Children often get atopic dermatitis (AD) during their first year of life. If a child gets AD during this time, dry and scaly patches appear on the skin. These patches often appear on the scalp, forehead, and face. These patches are very common on the cheeks.
No matter where it appears, AD is often very itchy. Infants may rub their skin against bedding or carpeting to relieve the itch.
In children of all ages, the itch can be so intense that a child cannot sleep. Scratching can lead to a skin infection.
Because atopic dermatitis can be long lasting, it is important to learn how to take care of the skin. Treatment and good skin care can alleviate much of the discomfort.
Atopic dermatitis: Signs and symptoms
Atopic dermatitis (AD) looks different in infants, children, and adults. The following gives you the signs (what you see) and symptoms (what you feel) for each age group.
AD can begin early. A child may be 2 or 3 months old when AD begins. When AD begins early, it often causes:
A rash that appears suddenly and:
- makes the skin dry, scaly, and itchy.
- forms on the scalp and face, especially on the cheeks (can appear on other areas of the body).
- can bubble up, then ooze and weep fluid.
- causes itching that may come and go.
- Rubbing against bedding, carpeting, and other things in order to scratch the itch.
- Trouble sleeping.
- Skin infections, common due to rubbing and scratching.
Parents often worry that their babies are getting AD in the diaper area. A babies rarely gets AD in his or her diaper area. The skin stays too moist for AD.
When AD begins between 2 years of age and puberty, the child often has these signs and symptoms:- A rash that often begins in the creases of the elbows or knees. Other common places for the rash to appear are the neck, wrists, ankles, and/or crease between the buttocks and legs.
- Itchy, scaly patches where the rash appeared.
In time, the skin with AD can:
- Get bumpy, looking like permanent goose bumps.
- Lighten (or darken) where AD appears.
- Thicken, turning leathery to protect itself from constant scratching.
- Develop knots (only on the thickened skin).
- Itch all the time (only on the thickened skin).
The thickened skin can itch even when the AD is not flaring.
When talking about the thickened skin, your dermatologist may use the word lichenification. This word means thickened skin.
It is rare for adults to get AD. Most people (90%) get AD before age 5. About half (50%) of people who get AD during childhood continue to have milder signs and symptoms of AD as an adult. When an adult has AD, it often looks different from the AD of childhood. For adults, AD often:
- Appears in the creases of the elbows or knees and nape of neck.
- Covers much of the body.
- Can be especially noticeable on the neck and face.
- Can be especially bad around the eyes.
- Causes very dry skin.
- Causes non-stop itch.
- Causes scaly skin — more scaly than in infants and children.
- Leads to skin infections.
If a person has had AD for years, patches of skin may be thick and darker than the rest of the skin (or lighter). Thickened skin can itch all the time.
Adults who had AD as a child and no longer have AD can have the following:
- Extremely dry skin.
- Skin that is easily irritated.
- Hand eczema.
- Eye problems (eczema on eyelids, cataracts).

Atopic dermatitis: Who gets and causes
Who gets atopic dermatitis?
Around the world, between 10% and 20% of children have AD. About 1% to 3% of adults have AD. People of all skin colors get AD.
Most people (90%) get AD before their 5th birthday. AD rarely starts when a person is an adult.
AD is much more common today than it was 30 years ago. Dermatologists are not sure why. They do know that some children have a greater risk of getting AD. The following seem to increase a child's risk of getting AD:
- Family members have AD, asthma, or hay fever : Does the child's mother or father have AD? Does a parent have asthma or hay fever? A family history of these diseases remains the strongest risk factor. If one or both parents have AD or an allergic condition, the child is much more likely to get AD. Some children get all 3 diseases. Asthma and hay fever usually appear before the age of 30. People often have asthma and hay fever for life.
- Where child lives : Living in a developed country, city (especially one with higher levels of pollution), or a cold climate seems to increase the risk. For example, Jamaican children living in London are twice as likely to develop AD as those who live in Jamaica.
- Gender : Females are slightly more likely than males to get AD.
- Mother's age when child born : When the mother gives birth to the child later in her childbearing years, a child is more likely to get AD.
- Social class : AD seems more common in higher social classes.
What causes atopic dermatitis?
Researchers are still studying what causes AD. Through their studies, they have learned that AD:
- Is not contagious : There is no need to worry about catching it or giving it to someone.
Runs in families
: People who get AD usually have family members who have AD, asthma, or hay fever. This means that genes play a role in causing AD.
- Children are more likely to develop AD if one or both parents have AD, asthma, or hay fever.
- About half (50%) of the people with severe AD (covers a large area of the body or is very troublesome) will get asthma and about two-thirds (66%) will get hay fever.
Can certain foods cause atopic dermatitis?
Foods do not cause AD. But some studies suggest that food allergies can make AD worse. Children who have AD often have food allergies to these foods — milk and foods that contain milk (e.g., yogurt and cheese), nuts, and shellfish.
Before you stop feeding your child any foods, talk about this with your child's dermatologist. Children need certain foods to grow and develop normally.
Researchers continue to study what causes this complex disease. They believe that many things interact to cause AD. These things include our genes, where we live, and the way our immune system works.
Atopic dermatitis: Diagnosis and treatment
How do dermatologists diagnose atopic dermatitis?
To diagnose atopic dermatitis (AD), a dermatologist begins by looking at the child's skin. The dermatologist will look for a rash. The dermatologist also will ask questions. It is important for the dermatologist to know whether the child has itchy skin. The dermatologist also needs to know whether blood relatives have had AD, asthma, or hay fever.
Sometimes a dermatologist will perform a patch test. This medical test is used to find allergies. It involves placing tiny amounts of allergens (substances that cause allergies for some people) on the child's skin. The dermatologist will check the skin for reactions. Checks are often done after a few hours, 24 hours, and 72 hours. Studies suggest that some allergens can make AD worse.
How do dermatologists treat atopic dermatitis?
Treatment cannot cure AD, but it can control AD. Treatment is important because it can:- Prevent the AD from getting worse.
- Calm the skin, relieving pain and itch.
- Reduce emotional stress.
- Prevent infections.
- Stop the skin from thickening. Thickened skin often itches all the time — even when the AD is not flaring.
A treatment plan often includes medicine, skin care, and lifestyle changes. Skin care and lifestyle changes can help prevent flare-ups. Many patients receive tips for coping. Doing all of this may seem bothersome, but sticking to the plan can make a big difference.
A dermatologist will create a treatment plan tailored to the patient's needs. Medicine and other therapies will be prescribed as needed to:
- Control itching.
- Reduce skin inflammation (redness and swelling).
- Clear infection.
- Loosen and remove scaly lesions.
- Reduce new lesions from forming.
Studies have found that when AD develops in an infant or young child, the child tends to get better with time. For some children, the condition completely disappears by age 2.
About half (50%) of the children who get AD will have it as an adult. The good news is that the AD often becomes milder with age.
There is no way to know whether the AD will go away or be a lifelong disease. This makes treatment very important. Treatment can stop the AD from getting worse. Treatment also helps to relieve the discomfort.
Atopic dermatitis: Tips for managing
Most children's eczema does not have a clear cause, such as an allergy, but most eczema will improve with good skin care. These tips from dermatologists can reduce the severity and frequency of your child's flare-ups.
Bathing tips
- Bathe your child in warm — not hot — water.
- Limit your child's time in the bath to 5 or 10 minutes.
Use cleanser only when needed and make sure the cleanser is mild and fragrance-free.
Do not use bubble bath.
- If your child's eczema is frequently infected, twice-weekly bleach baths may be beneficial. Discuss this option with your child's dermatologist.
- After bathing, gently pat your child's skin partially dry .
- If your child has medicine that you apply to the skin, apply medicine when your child's skin is almost dry and use the medicine as directed .
- Apply moisturizer on top of the medicine and to the rest of your child's skin.
Tips for choosing a moisturizer
- When selecting a moisturizer, consider choosing a thick cream or ointment .
- Some children do better with fragrance-free products, so consider petroleum jelly —an inexpensive, fragrance-free product that works well for many children.
- When selecting a product, "trial and error" sampling of different types may help to identify the best moisturizer for your child.
Tips to ease discomfort
- For best results, apply moisturizer at least twice a day . This prevents dryness and cracking. It also can decrease the need for eczema medications.
- If your child has severe itching and scratching, ask your child's dermatologist about wet wrap therapy . This can reduce swelling and lessen the desire to scratch.
- Keep your child's fingernails short and smooth . This decreases the likelihood that scratching will puncture the skin. Putting cotton gloves on your child's hands at night may help prevent scratching during sleep.
- Keep temperature and humidity levels comfortable . Avoid situations in which the air is extremely dry, or where your child may sweat and overheat. This is the most common trigger of the itch/scratch cycle.
Clothes-washing tips
- Using a laundry detergent made for sensitive skin may be beneficial . Scented fabric softener or dryer sheets may contribute to irritation.
- Only use the recommended amount of detergent.
- Use enough water for adequate rinsing.
- Buy clothes without tags because tags can rub against the skin, causing irritation.
- Wash your child's new clothes before wearing . This will remove excess dyes and fabric finishers, which can irritate the skin.
Good skin care is a key part of gaining control of your child's eczema. If skin care has not been a regular part of your child's treatment, you should make an appointment for your child to see a dermatologist.
Are the shots that treat hay fever and other allergies useful?
Allergy shots have not proven helpful for AD. Shots may even make AD worse. There is an exception. If the shots treat a patient's lung allergies, the skin may get better. Before trying allergy shots, be sure to talk with a dermatologist.
Support groups and other resources:
National Eczema AssociationOffers support groups and telephone support for people living with atopic dermatitis
Atopic dermatitis: Bleach bath therapy
If your child's dermatologist recommends bleach baths, follow these important steps for giving a bleach bath:
- Use regular strength – 6 percent – bleach for the bath . Do not use concentrated bleach.
- Use a measuring cup or measuring spoon to add the bleach to the bath . Adding too much bleach to the bath can irritate your children's skin. Adding too little bleach may not help.
- Measure the amount of bleach before adding it to the bath water . For a full bathtub of water, use a half cup of bleach. For a half-full tub of water, add a quarter cup of bleach. For a baby or toddler bathtub, add one teaspoon of bleach per gallon of water.
- Never apply bleach directly to your child's eczema . While the tub is filling, pour the bleach into the water. Be sure to wait until the bath is fully drawn and bleach is poured before your child enters the tub.
- Talk with your dermatologist about how long your child should soak in the tub . Most dermatologists recommend a five- to 10-minute soak.
- Pat your child's skin dry after the bath . If your child uses eczema medication, apply it immediately after the bath. Then moisturize your child's skin.
Talk with a board-certified dermatologist before beginning bleach bath therapy with your child. If you have questions or concerns about caring for your child's eczema, you should make an appointment to see a dermatologist.

Epistle XLI.
To Julianus, Scribo3333 Cf. II. 32, note 7; V. 30, note 8. On the subject of the epistle, see III. 47, note 2..
Gregory to Julianus, &c.
If in secular offices order and the discipline handed down by our ancestors is observed, who may bear to see ecclesiastical order confounded, to disregard such things when heard of, and postpone their amendment by improperly condoning them? And indeed you do well to love charity and to persuade to concord. But, since we are compelled by consideration of our position, and for God's sake, by no means to leave uninvestigated the things that have come to our knowledge, we shall take care, when Maximus comes, to require a strict account from him of the things that have been said about him. And we trust in the guardianship of our Creator, that we shall not be turned aside by either the favour or the fault of any man from maintenance of the canons and the straight path of equity, but willingly observe what is agreeable to reason. For if (which God forbid) we neglect ecclesiastical solicitude and vigour, indolence destroys discipline, and certainly harm will be done to the souls of the faithful, while they see such examples set them by their pastors. But with regard to your saying in your letter that the good will of the palace and the love of the people are not alienated from him, this circumstance does not recall us from our zeal for justice, nor shall it cause our determination to enquire into the truth to 13fail through sin of ours. Every one, then, should strive, magnificent son, to conciliate to himself the love of God. For without divine favour what can I say that human love will do for us hereafter, when even among ourselves it harms us the more?
