Among the destructive myths of modernity is the idea that Christianity caused the Holocaust. Though refuted many times, it continues to circulate. Among its chief recent proponents is James Carroll, whose 2001 book, Constantines Sword , was a mammoth effort to breathe new life into the old claim. Now Carroll, with filmmaker Oren Jacoby, has decided to expand his book into a documentary¯and the result is ninety-five minutes of unrestrained propaganda.
When the documentary premiered last year, it was praised by some critics¯unfortunately, mostly the ones who had little knowledge about the subject, a pattern that has been repeated since the films national release. A puff piece in the Los Angeles referred to Carroll as a devout Catholic¯a curious designation given Carrolls own well-documented rebellion against the Church.
The documentary wastes no time getting to its bottom line: Christianity is violent by nature and poses a threat to non-Christians, especially Jews. Focusing on anti-Semitism as Christianitys original sin, Carroll speaks about his own upbringing¯lamenting the anti-Jewish stereotypes he was fed¯and accuses the Catholic liturgy of fostering anti-Semitism. The genesis of it all, we are told, is the New Testament, presented in the movie version of Constantines Sword as a poisonous document and a warrant for genocide.
Brought on to support Carrolls apprehensions is Elaine Pagels, a highly controversial academic with no patience for orthodoxy. The camera shows her calling the Passion narrative an extraordinary twist on what actually happened, concluding: It looks completely at odds with what we know about history.
Along the way, Carroll conveniently skips over the persecutions of the early Christians; their sufferings do not interest him. What grips his imagination is the story of Constantines conversion, which he sees as catastrophic for the history of the Church. According to Carroll, Constantine took the image of the cross and elevated it to a place never previously held in Christianity; worse, the emperor used it as an instrument of war, turning a religion of peace into a religion of violence.
Of course, this requires Carroll to contradict himself¯remember, he just finished claiming that hatred began with the New Testament. But even on its own terms, the historical claim is wrong. Surviving Christian art and symbols from A.D. 230¯well before Constantine¯reveal that the cross is a prominent symbol in the catacombs. The early Christians often made the sign of the cross just to sabotage pagan ceremonies; and in doing so they were following the teaching of St. Paul, who said, We preach Christ crucified.
On his march through history, Carroll adopts the persona of Voltaire when evaluating the Christian Middle Ages. He depicts the Crusades as wholly unprovoked, overlooking the Islamic aggression that preceded them. Criticism of Jihadism is dismissed with a throwaway line: Islam is accused of violence, as if Christianity is innocent. Though Christians are held to the highest standards, militant followers of Muhammad are given a free pass.
Carrolls views on Christian history are relentlessly negative. One would never know, watching this film, of Christianitys elevation of women, its care for the poor, challenge to slavery, advances in science and medicine, educational system, wondrous art, extraordinary religious orders. All one gets in the film are one-sided stories of horror and lament, intended to induce a feeling of revulsion in the viewer.
Carrolls hostility is very much on display in the films treatment of the religious right. To caricature evangelicals, it highlights the rise and fall of Ted Haggard, who was forced to resign as pastor of New Life Church in Colorado after he confessed to a sex scandal. The most absurd and unfair generalizations are made about evangelicals: George Bushs born-again Christianity is blamed for his military decisions; and in a special Directors Statement, supplied to reviewers, Jacoby actually asks, Is there something in the DNA of Christianity¯the majority religion in our country¯that demonizes the other and is inclined toward violence?
Meanwhile, the U.S. Air Force Academy is denounced for allegedly turning its campus into a hotbed of Christian evangelization, with pressure placed on non-Christians to convert. Of course, after such allegations surfaced in 2004, the Pentagon launched an investigation and found that the incidents were largely exaggerated. A federal judge subsequently agreed, throwing out a related lawsuit
Carrolls treatment of the fascist-Nazi period is similarly skewed. He highlights Italys anti-Semitic decrees under Mussolini, without describing how the Church combated them: denouncing racialism, taking in Jews expelled from their jobs, and providing shelter. Commenting on the Vaticans concordat with Germany, he asserts: The Vatican became the first foreign power to enter into a bilateral treaty with Hitler. This is devious. By using the word bilateral ¯i.e., between two entities¯Carroll is able to avoid mentioning that the first international treaty with Hitlers government was not the concordat, signed on July 20, 1933, but the Four-Power Pact (involving Germany, France, England, and Italy), which preceded it by a full month (June 7). Even before that, in May the Soviets and the British accepted friendship and trade agreements with Germany; Germany was recognized by the League of Nations; and in August 1933, one month before the concordat was ratified, Palestinian Jews signed the Haavara emigration agreement with Germany. Moreover, Hitler himself later railed against the concordat ( Table Talk , July 4, 1942), realizing it had become a means of anti-Nazi subversion.
Carrolls treatment of Pius XII is particularly atrocious: Every discredited allegation against the pope¯from his alleged silence to his supposed failure to intervene against the Nazi roundup of Romes Jews¯is repeated without qualification. Carroll and Jacoby seem unaware of the scholarship that has demolished these charges, proving that Pius rescued many Jews. At this late date, when many serious scholars have spoken out in favor of Pius XII, and when his cause is steadily advancing in Rome, Carrolls views on Pius are not only outdated but reactionary.
Similarly, Carroll turns his sights on St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross¯Edith Stein, the Jewish-born convert who became a nun and perished at Auschwitz in 1942. Carroll attacks her elevation, viewing it as a convenient way for the Church to salve its conscience and Christianize the Holocaust. The real story, Carroll assures us, has never been told.
And what, exactly, is that? In 1933, shortly after entering the Carmelite order, Stein wrote a letter to Pius XI, imploring him to take a stand against Nazi anti-Semitism. But Carroll claims nothing was done, citing an entry in Steins diary, from 1938, suggesting the saint never received a reply. Obtaining a copy of the 1933 letter from an elderly German nun, who knew Stein, Carroll asserts he is the first person to ask to see it. In a haunting voiceover, the actress Natasha Richardson reads the letter¯but only a portion of it, conveniently omitting the part that speaks about Nazi persecution of Catholics . The film presents the letter as a dramatic revelation. The films director, Oren Jacoby, even told the Jewish Journal : I got goosebumps when the nun shared the letter with us. Its thrilling when you discover that the story you thought was there actually does exist.
The letter is real, but the discovery is a hoax. Five years ago, I obtained a copy of Steins 1933 letter myself, shortly after the archives from Pius XIs pontificate were released. Those archives revealed that Steins plea was answered¯in a sympathetic reply by none other than Cardinal Eugenio Pacelli (the future Pius XII), then Pius XIs secretary of state. Pacellis letter was sent to Steins abbot, Raphael Walzer of the Beuron Abbey, because it was he who had mailed Steins letter to the Vatican. The reply correspondence may have been blocked by Nazi surveillance (hence, the likely explanation for her diary entry wondering about the Vaticans reaction).
Those archives also revealed that action was taken by the Holy See on behalf of Germanys Jews, even before Stein sent her letter. My dossier explaining all these facts was published in 2003, in Inside the Vatican magazine, and has been available online for some time. Couldnt Carroll and Jacoby have spent five minutes on Google finding this information out? That the documentary also fails to reveal the crucial reason Stein was sent to Auschwitz¯because the Dutch bishops, citing papal teaching , publicly condemned the deportations, triggering the Nazis to round up Catholics of Jewish descent¯only adds to the deception.
But the film stoops to its lowest level by ending with a disingenuous attack on Benedict XVI: Months after associating Islam with things only evil and inhuman, Benedict XVI reversed reforms of Vatican II to authorize a Good Friday Mass that includes a previous disavowed prayer¯for the conversion of Jews.
What Benedict actually did, at his now famous Regensburg address, was quote (not endorse) a fourteenth-century emperor in order to highlight the relation between faith and reason. Moreover, there is no such thing as a Good Friday Mass. On Good Friday, the day Christ died, Catholics have a service, but they do not celebrate Mass ¯something everyone trained as a priest should know. The old rites Good Friday liturgy does indeed carry a prayer for Jews, but its language has been revised by Benedict precisely to avoid unnecessary offense; and were the Church to formally disavow evangelization, it would betray its very mission. As recently demonstrated by his visit to an America synagogue, Pope Benedicts outreach to Jews is a central feature of his pontificate. He has written extensively on the subject and once published an essay, The Heritage of Abraham, that is among the most beautiful Catholic tributes ever penned to Judaism.
By producing this egregious film, Carroll and Jacoby missed a real opportunity to appreciate the events taking place in Catholic-Jewish relations today. Among them was Benedicts visit to a Cologne synagogue shortly after he became pope. Carroll mentions the visit but severely distorts the moving speech Benedict delivered and fails to mention Jewish reaction. Paul Spiegel, the leader of Germanys Jews, was so overwhelmed by the popes presence that he told reporters: If someone told me 45 years ago, You are going to be in Cologne, and the pope will visit you in a synagogue, I wouldnt have believed it. We have come a long way in mutual support and understanding and, as the pope said, in mutual love.

Kudos on the bench.
The threaded adjustment for the planing stop is clever.
Jim in Massachusetts
FYI - the SMC interface doesn't notify me of messages in this chain. I've migrated to the World's largest portable phone, running Android.
If my response is delayed, it's only because my memory isn't prompting me... we're dealing with frequent basement flooding and that clears the deck of other concerns.
Good to know. I am sending another package this week. Had to travel and couldn't get what I wanted to send yet.
All good, thanks! My wife thinks I'm better looking, I think I'm thinner and my boys think I'm smarter.
The chicken seasoning was a hit.
Things got real quiet at dinner, that night.
Best regards,
Hello Jim, Just checking to see if you got the package yet. If not, I will be a bit concerned. I included some Bay Rum (cologne- not drinking rum) and it is a liquid and I realized after shipping that I'm not supposed to ship liquids. Hopefully it made it.
Thanks, Malcolm.
I hope Terry's plane serves, it's a wonder.
I'm fine with treats fron the islands. My wife asked about local Jamaican patties, if you can ship some.
I'm reducing everything I own, 10% each year.
Tools, I've got in excess.
Best regards,
Has your package arrived?

A species of cricket has broken an unlikely world record: largest testicles in relation to body weight.
The tuberous bushcricket's testicles account for 14 percent of its body weight. To put that in perspective, the testicles of a man weighing 200 pounds (91 kilograms) with that ball-to-body ratio would weigh 28 pounds (12.7 kilograms).
The bushcricket, whose anatomical extremes were reported Tuesday in the journal Biology Letters, edges out the record of a species of fruit fly, Drosophila bifurca, whose testes-to-body weight ratio has been recorded as 10.6 percent.
Bushcrickets, known in Australia and America as katydids, are found worldwide, said study researcher Karim Vahed, a reader in behavioral ecology at Britain's University of Derby. Tuberous bushcrickets are found in grassy areas of southern Europe, where Vahed and his colleagues often collect specimens to study the evolutionary biology of insect mating.

All lightning on Earth may have its roots in space, new research suggests.

- Cosmic rays may spark Earth's lightning
In most species studied, especially vertebrates, males boast larger testes when females of the species are more promiscuous, Vahed told LiveScience. One explanation for these large cojones is that it enables males to produce more sperm per ejaculate, effectively drowning out the competition.
However, the researchers report, the cricket's large testicles don't produce greater volumes of semen per ejaculate. In fact, they produced less voluminous sperm than smaller testicles. The tuberous bushcricket may benefit not from increased sperm per ejaculation, but from increased stamina over time.
Large testes "allow males to capitalize on the readily available supply of willing females," Vahed said. "They allow males to have a greater rate of ejaculate production rather than producing extra-large ejaculates."
Titillating crickets
One of the advantages of studying insect mating is that females store sperm from every mating event in their bodies, Vahed said, allowing researchers to determine how many times the crickets mate in their few months of life. Tuberous cricket females mate an average of 23 times, putting them on the upper end of the cricket promiscuity spectrum, Vahed said.
Vahed is now researching the vast variety of male cricket titillators, the organs that male crickets insert into female crickets during mating. Titillators come in all shapes and sizes, from smooth to spiny, and no one knows why, Vahed said.
Though the size of the tuberous bushcricket's genitalia was a suprise, Vahed said, the vast variation in gonads among insects makes them good study subjects.
"You're always going to find something new just because of their diversity and how little-studied they are," he said. "Somewhere out there I'm sure there's an insect that will top even the tuberous bushcricket's testes record."
The tuberous bushcricket joins a veritable who's-who list of animals with strange genitalia, including:
- Single-testicled carabid beetles
- Rodents that enjoy a mating advantage thanks to their long penises
- Polar bears whose penises are shrinking because of pollutants
- Ducks with penises like corkscrews (and vaginas to match)
- Smart bats with small testicles
And to round out the list, some male fruit bats (Rousettus aegyptiacus) have testes that are 2.15 percent of their body mass, whereas their brains are only 1.70 percent. [See the male fruit bat's genitalia].

Republican Sens. Ted Cruz and Rand Paul for too long have lead the GOP into believing their claim that the debt ceiling and government shutdown issues won't cause an economic calamity ("Ted Cruz wins by losing," Sept. 27).
All well and good senators, but here is a dose of reality: Japan and China, among other purchasers of U.S. Treasury bonds, recently said the impasse in Washington is very disturbing. Get your house in order, they say.
Yet the initial reaction to that by many here, particularly among this tea party set, is "the hell with those foreigners."
Here is the next dose of reality: The U.S. sells bonds to the world like all governments have done since Alexander Hamilton convinced Benjamin Franklin "neither a borrower nor lender be" doesn't work in a modern global economy.
So the U.S. government says to the world, you give us $1,000 and we will pay you roughly $20 in interest every year for the life of the bond, at the end of which we will give you your original $1,000.
U.S. citizens and institutions are by far the largest purchaser of those bonds. Japan and China among others are major purchasers. And so far all those purchasers have said with their money that they like the deal.
But guess what happens when they don't like it any more, as indicated by the statements of China and Japan? They either stop buying the bonds altogether or they demand more than $20 a year in interest.
Either way, the increase in interest payments goes right into increasing the current budget. It triggers an increase in borrowing costs for all governments and, more importantly, for businesses financing expansions in hiring and for ordinary people trying to finance major purchases such as homes and autos.
The senators can sit on their high horses all they want and insist the shenanigans the GOP is up to won't hurt the economy. But the people we sell our bonds to say different.
Mel Mintz, Pikesville

continuing here from: Day 171: Voices in my Head!
Day 172: Belittling Voices
Day 173: Money Hungry Voice of Delusion
Day 174: Is This Really Life? –
Continuing here with self-forgiveness with regards to the characters/personalities that I gave energy to as the voices in my head when my daughter called to ask me if I will stop on my way to her house and pick her up a pack of cigs. What I've noticed is resistance in how me as my mind does not want to continue investigating and walking this point through in self-forgiveness and self-corrective application.
Thus, I commit myself to continue this process of self-directive principled writing to give back to myself the responsibility of myself and the creation of what we have accepted and allowed as the mind of/as energy according to our world/money system to thus take self-responsibility to stand up together to redesign who we are according to what's best for all.
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not realize how when I reacted towards my daughter when she asked me to buy her a pack of cigs – where instead of actually hearing her – I heard the voices in my head – that I didn't see/realize and understand how they triggered a negative energetic experience from/of my past which is and has always been directly linked to money according to how money was defined by my parents as the personalities that they lived their life as, which I copied/duplicated/imitated and completely gave into as my own internal energetic experience, where I have become an identical personality in how I will fight for my so-called-right to survive within our current world/money system.
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to react not only to the words but to the sound of my daughter's voice when she asked me to spend money on her, where in that split moment when she asked her question – I pulled back inside myself, as if I had just fallen back in time – where I became the victim of myself as my past as the negative energy experience I believed I had when I was 17, pregnant and needing food and feeling scared, lonely and abolished from my family into a world where I had no clue how to actually take care of myself and within that, I forgive myself for the fact that all I wanted to do in that moment was make someone suffer for the feelings of fear that I experienced which I'd long forgot were still a part of who I am.
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to hold my past against myself and others, where I have locked myself into and as various masks as character and personalities – negative energetic experiences of guilt and displaced anger and positive energetic experiences where I took another's feelings for granted in order to have a moment for/of myself within a feeling of well being.
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to judge my parents for who they became and for what they accepted and allowed because of money and trying to survive within this world because I see, realize and understand how easy it is to become preoccupied and separate oneself from the reality of the physical, and how the functioning and the consequences of energy experiences conditions one to not want to see, to not want to believe what one is capable of becoming in and as self-interest and greed.
When and as I see myself in a situation with regards to money, where I am reacting towards others as a negative energetic feeling experience – where I see that I am judging their influence as being the reason for how I'm experiencing myself – I stop, I breathe – instead I direct myself to realize that money is/has been a stronghold, our means of survival and that lashing out and seeking to 'get one over' on someone else in order that I might have a positive energy experience of myself is NOT the solution, that the solution requires a coming together of us all as a group, to constitute an agreement amongst us as neighbors, where we no longer allow suffering of any kind to any living being, thus, I see, realize, understand the importance of and thus support an Equal Money System.
I commit myself to walk any and all resistance to change of and as self due to the characters/personalities and fears I have existed as with regards to our current world/money system. I commit myself to breathe and let go of the perception of the need to have and be more than my neighbor.
I commit myself to when and as I see myself within a situation where I'm aware that money is the motivator, I stop, I breathe – to within myself reference this moment here in establishing for myself a point of self-trust. Trust that I will breathe and in self-honesty, I will direct myself to stand/walk and stop any and all relationships of separation within myself/ as my mind, to thus establish who I am from here as I stand up and walk as the solution through living my decision to support life according to what's best for all – to hereby redesign and transform our world/money system together into one that cherishes the dignity of all living beings.

text: Power Outages and Water Damage: How to Protect Your Home March 14, 2019 Power outages are never fun. When preparing for a power outage, your mind may turn to needing candles, a flashlight, and how to keep your ice cream from melting. But have you ever considered what might happen to your sump pump during a power outage? What about the rest of your appliances? Find out how to ensure your sump pump has backup power, what to do when your sump pump fails and other helpful tips to prepare for a power outage. What Causes Power Outages? First, what causes power outages? Most people immediately assume power outages are caused by storms, and in many cases, that is true. Lightning can hit trees, which then fall on the electrical equipment. Or lightning can strike the equipment directly. High winds and ice (especially when you combine the two) can also bring down power lines and poles. But there are other factors as well. For example, animals. Squirrels, birds, and even snakes that are looking for warmth or food can run afoul of transformers and fuses. Tree limbs often come in contact with poles and power lines, despite the electrical company's best efforts to keep them pruned back. Construction equipment can inadvertently damage electrical equipment. Finally, electrical equipment can fail simply from old age. Whatever the reason for an outage, it has repercussions for anything in your home that runs on electricity, including your sump pump. If you have a sump pump, it's probably not something you think about very often. However, that could change if it stops working! Stormy weather? Check out 16 Severe Weather Hacks! How Does a Sump Pump Work? Sump pumps sit in a sump pit, which is usually installed at the lowest point of your basement. Water that makes its way into your home's foundation is diverted into a drain system that surrounds the basement perimeter. That water drains into the sump pump pit, where the sump pump, triggered by a float switch, removes the water by pumping it into a storm drain, retention pond, or dry well. Keeping Your Sump Pump Running Many sump pumps work off of your home's electrical system, which is why power outages may cause your sump pump to fail. If there are heavy rains in your area, that's exactly when you need that water pumped out of your home to avoid water damage! That's why many also have a battery backup for your sump pump to make sure the pump keeps running even if your power is out. In addition to battery sump pump backups, some pumps also have water-powered backup systems that use your home's water supply to remove water from the sump pit. Sump Pump Maintenance Be proactive; you don't want to be in the middle of a storm wondering if your basement will flood and your home will suffer water damage. Check your sump pump regularly. This is easy to do; all it takes is a bucket of water. Pour the water into the sump pit. The pump should turn on and drain the water from the sump pit. This is also a good time to check the sump pit. Clean out any dirt or debris that could cause blockage. What Happens if your Sump Pump Fails? If the worst happens and you get water in your basement, you need to act fast. Here are the critical first steps you should take if you find that your sump pump is no longer working after a power outage: Unplug any electronics. Remove furniture to a dry spot as soon as possible. Pull up any carpets and padding. Use towels or a mop to soak up water. A wet/dry vacuum can be useful, but be sure that any outlet you use is well away from any water. Use fans and dehumidifiers to draw moisture out of your basement, and, if weather allows, open up your windows. Lastly, you'll also want to contact your agent to determine what damage is covered by your insurance policy and what your next steps should be. Power Outage Checklist If you're experiencing a power outage—or concerned that one may be on the way—use this checklist to better prepare you and your family. Preparing for a Power Outage Keep a fully-stocked first aid kit. Have flashlights handy. Make sure you have the power company's number. Stock your pantry with canned foods and water. Fill your freezer and refrigerator with frozen water bottles to help preserve food. Have a battery-powered radio on hand so you can keep track of weather conditions. Turn off and unplug appliances and electrical equipment to prevent power surges. Ensure your sump pump has backup power, whether it is water-powered or battery powered. After a Power Outage Reset clocks and alarms. Don't plug appliances back in immediately; wait at least 10-15 minutes for power to stabilize. Check food, and throw out any perishable items that may have thawed. Protecting Your Home Your home is where your heart is—do you have what you need to protect it? Farm Bureau offers coverage to help protect your home, your belongings and your future. To learn more about homeowners insurance, connect with your Farm Bureau agent.

1. Giving a person a taste of his own medicine means doing to that person what he has been doing to other people. Getting a taste of your own medicine is the same thing except that it means having it done to you instead of doing it to somebody else. It could be seen as giving somebody a lesson, but whether that person learns the lesson or not is another question altogether.
2. You are right.
3. "Hey!" is an exclamation, and when it is used by itself it gets an exclamation mark (bang). When it leads a sentence you put a comma after it. That is because it is an exclamation.

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – Data from the National Inpatient Sample indicate that vena cava filters reduce the in-hospital fatality rate among patients with pulmonary embolism who are unstable and in those who are stable and received thrombolytic therapy.
"The majority of hospitalized patients with pulmonary embolism, however, were stable and did not receive thrombolytic therapy," note the authors of the report in the American Journal of Medicine online February 6, and the benefit is limited in this population.
Dr. Paul D. Stein, of St. Mary Mercy Hospital in Livonia, Michigan, and colleagues point out that vena cava filters are increasingly used in patients with pulmonary embolism but their effect on mortality is not clear.
To investigate which categories of patients may or may not benefit from their use, the team examined data from the National Inpatient Sample, which records information on about 8 million hospital stays at approximately 1000 hospitals. ICD-9-CM codes were used to identify patients with pulmonary embolism, deep venous thrombosis, and use of thrombolytic therapy. In addition, patients with shock or ventilator dependence were defined as unstable.
"Patients were matched according to stability, thrombolytic therapy, and diagnosis of deep venous thrombosis," the investigators explain.
Over a 10-year period, they report, 2,110,320 short-stay hospital patients were diagnosed with pulmonary embolism. The great majority (95%) were stable and did not receive thrombolytic therapy, and in this group the case fatality rate was only marginally lower with use of a vena cava filter (7.2%) than without (7.9%)
However, rates were actually higher in stable patients with DVT who received a vena cava filter (6.7% vs 5.5%), the report indicates.
There was a clearcut benefit among the relatively few stable patients who underwent thrombolytic therapy. The case fatality rate was 6.4% with use of a VC filter and 15.0% without.
For unstable patients, the use of vena cava filters was advantageous whether or not they received thrombolytic therapy. Specifically, respective case fatality rates with and without VC filter use were 7.6% vs 18.0% in those undergoing thrombolysis and 33.0% vs 51.0% among those who did not receive thrombolytic therapy.
"For now, it seems prudent to consider a vena cava filter in patients with pulmonary embolism who are receiving thrombolytic therapy and in unstable patients who may not be candidates for thrombolytic therapy," Dr. Stein and colleagues advise.
However, they add, "Future prospective study with assessment of the absolute risks of filter placement in various subgroups of patients is warranted to better define in which patients a filter is appropriate."

Choosing SEO web hosting for your website is a great decision! You'll get superior web hosting through some of the best uptimes and load times on the market; and you'll also have a website that's fully optimized to appear higher in the search engines. But when you start looking at different SEO website hosts, you'll first notice that they offer two different types: on-page SEO hosting, and off-page SEO hosting. So what's the difference between the two? To understand that, you first need to understand a bit about SEO practices.
SEO practices are all the methods and strategies that online marketers and web developers use to get certain websites to rank higher in the search engines. This of course, brings more visitors to the site and ultimately more profits for that website, and its owner. But these practices can be divided up into two different categories: on-page SEO practices and off-page SEO practices. It's these two different types that SEO site hosts are referring to within their different products. But just what are they?
On-page SEO website hosting refers to any changes that are made for the specific intent of SEO, and that are made directly on the webpage. This includes using title tags, placing interior and exterior links within the webpages on the business' website, and inserting keywords and key phrases within the content. While this can take some time and involves analyzing and researching keywords, they're not nearly as labour-intensive as off-page SEO practices.
Off-page web hosting refers to any SEO practices that are incorporated so that the website can place higher in the search engines, but they're not actually done on the actual website. This includes things such as creating different websites that can backlink to the main website; guest blogging on other websites to link back to the business' website; and commenting on other websites and blogs – again so that a backlink to the main website can be left along with the comment. Of course, finding other webmasters and simply asking them if they're interested in a link exchange is another type of off-page SEO practice. However because the links needs to be placed directly on the page, it could also be considered to be an on-page SEO practice.
On-page SEO website hosting can take just a few days to a week to complete, whereas off-page SEO web hosting can take months just to implement. Typically when it's a business website, online marketers usually need to be hired to complete these tasks as business owners simply don't have time to do it themselves. However, SEO web hosting is a good alternative that can give small businesses especially the online marketing tools they need, without the high cost of an entire IT team.
Whether or not you decide to only use on-page SEO web hosting, or only off-page web hosting is up to you. It will depend entirely on how much time you have and how much you feel comfortable handing off to a web host. For those that feel they don't have time for any of it, most SEO web hosts will offer packages that include both on-page and off-page practices.

31% of survey respondents in Switzerland, compared to 24% in Western Europe overall, consider cost containment to be one of the greatest challenges to business profitability in 2015.
Survey results for Switzerland
Sales on credit terms
Around 27% of the Swiss respondents' domestic and foreign B2B sales value is transacted on credit terms. Together with Germany and Austria, Switzerland belongs to the group of surveyed countries which display quite a conservative approach to the use of trade credit in B2B transactions, both domestically and abroad. Similarly to what was observed in those other two countries, respondents in Switzerland appear to have progressively become more risk averse in respect to using trade credit.
Since 2013, the value of domestic and foreign B2B credit-based sales in Switzerland has declined notably (around 8 percentage points) reaching the current levels. Contrary to what was observed in Austria, however, the aversion to selling on credit was more focused on transactions with domestic than with foreign customers. As observed in Germany and Austria this tendency might be explained by a sizeable upswing in the rate of foreign delinquencies.
Average payment term
Domestic and foreign B2B customers of respondents in Switzerland are given an average of 27 days from the invoice date to pay invoices. Although this term appears to be slightly longer than those granted by German and Austrian respondents, it underlines the customers' clear focus on swift payment that we also observed in the other two countries. Over the past two years, this term did not change markedly. It is now below the average payment terms in Western Europe of 34 days for domestic customers and 32 days for foreign ones.
Overdue B2B invoices
Nearly 40% of the total value of domestic B2B invoices in Switzerland remained unpaid past the due date. This is in line with the average for Western Europe (40.2%), and is as high as the percentages recorded in France and the Netherlands. The proportion of foreign past due invoices (42.8%) is above the survey average (35.4%), and in line with that recorded in Great Britain.
Over the past two years, both domestic and foreign overdue levels in Switzerland registered slight increases, which are below the averages for Western Europe.
Within the context of a generally stable insolvency environment, the delinquency figure recorded in the country (invoices unpaid 90+ days after due date) is relatively sizeable. 8.5% of foreign invoices (above survey average of 7%) and 5.8% of domestic B2B invoices (below the 7.6% survey average) became delinquent and are likely to turn into collections cases.
Late payment of B2B invoices (domestic and foreign) in Switzerland is reflected in the Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) figure posted by respondents which averages 41 days (survey average is 48 days). This is almost two weeks shorter than two years ago, which would suggests a greater effort on collecting high-value long-outstanding B2B invoices, a focus most likely prompted by the sharp increase in the (above mentioned) rate of delinquency, particularly from foreign customers.
Average payment delay
Domestic B2B customers of Swiss respondents make their overdue payments, on average, 19 days after the invoice due date (survey average is 22 days). The average time for foreign B2B customers to pay their past due invoices is 23 days (survey average is 20 days). This means that, on average, payment for domestic overdue invoices in Switzerland is received around 46 days after invoicing. For foreign payments, it can take slightly longer, around 50 days.
Over the past two years, there was a significant decrease in both the average domestic and foreign payment duration (around 10 days in each case). Despite this, overdue payment levels in Switzerland, mainly those from customers abroad, remain sizeable. The cost of late payment in particular can have a negative impact on the companies' cash flow and profitability. That is why the highest percentage of the respondents in Switzerland (31% compared to 24% in Western Europe), consider cost containment to be one of the greatest challenges to business profitability in 2015. This is the highest percentage of respondents sharing this opinion of all the countries surveyed.
Key payment delay factors
44.6% of respondents in Switzerland, compared to 51.4% in Western Europe, said that insufficient availability of funds is the most frequent reason for domestic payment delays. This is also the most frequently cited reason for foreign payment delays according to Swiss respondents (40.5%). The average for Western Europe overall is 37%. Unexpectedly, significantly more respondents in Switzerland (nearly 24%) than in Western Europe (13.5%) reported that foreign B2B customers delay payments claiming that the goods delivered or the services provided do not correspond to the contractual terms.
Uncollectable accounts
Swiss respondents reported that 0.8% of the value of their B2B receivables was uncollectable. This is below the 1.2% average for Western Europe. In line with the survey pattern, the proportion of domestic write-offs is larger than that of foreign ones. This may very well depend on the higher proportion of sales made on credit domestically than abroad. It can also underline a natural tendency to pay closer attention to foreign receivables than to domestic ones.
Uncollectable domestic B2B receivables are most often reported on sales to the construction, consumer durables, business services and financial services sectors. Foreign B2B write-offs are most frequently attributable to B2B customers in the construction, consumer durables, chemicals and services sectors. For most of the Swiss respondents (64.3%), compared to 66.4% in Western Europe, B2B receivables were mainly uncollectable because the customer went bankrupt or out of business.
For more insights into the B2B receivables collections practices in Switzerland, please see the Global Collections Review by Atradius Collections (free download after registration), available from April 21st 2015 on www.atradiuscollections. com.
Payment practices by industry
Survey respondents in Switzerland reported granting trade credit terms mainly to B2B customers belonging to the construction, consumer durables, business services, financial services and services sectors.
Domestic and foreign B2B customers in the construction sector enjoy payment terms that are above the average for the country. Nearly 30% of Swiss respondents believe that the payment habits of foreign B2B customers in the construction sector will deteriorate markedly over the next 12 months. The consumer durables sector, however, ranks first in terms of overdue domestic and foreign payments, also showing the longest average payment delays (48 days). This is markedly above the 21 days average for the country.
Domestic payment delays due to liquidity constraints of B2B customers are reported, on average, by three in five respondents in relation to the consumer durables and services sectors. In each of these sectors, around 45% of the Swiss respondents expect a slight deterioration in the payment behaviour of customers over the coming 12 months. According to 58% of Swiss respondents, foreign B2B customers in the services sector are expected to worsen their payment habits markedly over the same time frame.

Latest Prevention & Wellness News
HealthDay Reporter
WEDNESDAY, March 12, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- Surgical safety checklists have been hailed as powerful tools that help reduce deaths and complications, but these lists may not be all they're cracked up to be, Canadian researchers report.
Despite earlier studies that showed a 50 percent reduction in deaths by using such checklists for surgeries, these researchers found no significant difference in the rate of deaths and complications before and after the checklists were introduced.
The checklists were designed to get the surgical team to work together and to take the time to be sure of the patient's identity, the procedure to be done and what equipment will be needed. Also included was an accounting of all the surgical instruments after the operation.
"We couldn't identify a measurable improvement with checklists," said lead researcher Dr. David Urbach, a professor of surgery and health policy at the University of Toronto.
One problem might be mandating the use of a checklist, as was done in Canada, without getting hospitals to buy into the program, he said.
"It's one thing if hospitals develop these things on their own, where people are motivated and engaged," Urbach said. "That can transform a culture and make it more safety-conscious. If it is mandated, it may not achieve the same result."
It could also be that the first studies done on the benefits of checklists painted too rosy a picture of their benefit, Urbach said. "It may not be possible to achieve the results detected in those studies," he said.
Those first studies suggested that checklists could cut the risk of dying in half. "That's a really big effect," Urbach said. "Very few things reduce something by 50 percent."
Urbach said he still believes in the value of checklists as a way of bringing the surgical team together to talk about the patient. "There is probably a lot of value in checklists, even if it can't be measured in terms of reducing the risk of bad outcomes," he said.
The report was published in the March 13 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.
Dr. Lucian Leape, an adjunct professor of health policy at the Harvard School of Public Health, wrote an editorial accompanying the study in the journal. "The surgical checklist is a powerful tool for reducing complications and deaths, but it only works if you use it right," Leape said.
Implementing the use of a checklist is not easy, he said. "It requires people to change a lot of the ways they do things. It's difficult to do, and it takes time to see the effects," he said.
The checklist most commonly used is one created by the World Health Organization. Its list is divided into three parts.
The first part includes steps to be taken before anesthesia, including verifying the patient's identity, medical condition and the procedure.
The second part, called a "timeout," takes place before the first incision. During this time, everybody introduces themselves. The surgeon and others confirm what they are going to do and check that all necessary medications and any special patient needs are in place.
Finally, before the patient leaves the operating room, all instruments and sponges are accounted for, any blood for lab tests is labeled and any problems are discussed. The doctor reviews any concerns about the patient's recovery and management.
Leape said the WHO checklist is a guide, and each hospital needs to adjust it to make it work for them. "The point is to make it your own," he said. "In the process of making it your own, you really develop a lot more teamwork, and that's what I think really makes a difference."
The problem in all areas of patient safety is how to get hospitals to improve their performance, Leape said.
"We are still looking for the answer for that," he said. "It's a culture change, and culture change has to be driven by the leadership."
He said some combination of incentives and sanctions might be needed.
For the study, Urbach and his colleagues surveyed all hospitals that perform surgery in Canada's Ontario Province. They took data on deaths and surgical complications, comparing the three months before and the three months after checklists were introduced.
During the three months before checklists were used, there were about 109,000 procedures. In the three months after checklists were put in place, there were about 106,000.
The researchers found that before the use of checklists, 0.71 percent of surgical patients died in the hospital or in the month after their operation. After the checklists were introduced, 0.65 percent of patients died.
The rate of complications was 3.86 percent before the use of checklists and 3.82 percent after, they said.

Please let me introduce you to George, my last and greatest project of 2012. I should really say ours!
George was 'completed' at 6.02am on Saturday 22nd December at the Whittington hospital in London. His full name is George Thomas Bradfield and he was a sturdy 8 pounds and five ounces. He is just six days old today and he's already stolen our hearts.
George was ten days late when a check up scan revealed my amniotic fluid had decreased dramatically. A previous induction date set for the day before Christmas Eve was brought forward and I was admitted on the spot on the 21st instead. My waters were artificially broken (ouch ouch bloody ouch) and I was left to start labour naturally rather than using a prostaglandin gel to induce. My contractions started at around 4.30 that afternoon. Unfortunately my hopes of labouring in the birth centre were impossible since once they start interventions in your labour you go straight into the labour ward. No birthing pool for me. But gas and air helped…
I laboured for about 5 hours with the contractions getting stronger and longer -averaging about 3 to 4 every ten minutes. But I just wasn't dilating quickly enough – I was still at 2 centimetres at the end of the 5 hours.
The decision was made to give me a drip to bring up the force of the contractions and induce labour. An epidural was advised (I'd been using a birthing ball, gas and air and the sweet sounds of Marvin Gaye to get me to this point). I quote the midwife here: "you would have to be insane not to take an epidural before being induced my love". Zoiks!
Epidural and drip duly administered at 10.30pm, I settled down for a long night of contractions and (by this time) old school west coast rap. By 5.30 am there was good news and bad news. I'd got up to 7 cms dilated – let's hear it for the cervix – but I'd had about 4 bouts of really heavy scary bleeding (later confirmed as placental abruption). The docs decided to take it to the c section and literally within minutes I was holding Matt's hands, looking into his eyes and whispering 'I love you' (you know, just in case) as the surgeons got stuck in.
In what seemed like seconds there was a peculiar tugging sensation and then a cry! A baby's cry. Jesus, words simply can't express how you feel at this point. You can hear your child but you can't see it yet and you don't even know what sex it is. It's delicious, thrilling, scary and amazing. Matt was asked to peek over and announce the sex and George officially entered the world. We got straight into skin to skin good times and headed up to the post natal ward to recover for the next couple of days.
There's still so much more to tell about how we were discharged on Christmas Eve and readmitted on Christmas Day but that's for another post I think. I hope you don't mind me sharing all of this. It just feels so natural to tell it and important to mark it. We're now at home having been released yesterday and we're delighted to be here. We feel like a real little proper family and it's wonderful. I couldn't recommend it more!
I'm having an enforced baby moon which is basically two weeks of bed rest whilst my scar heals. It's extremely painful occasionally and I need to speak to the midwife about it or at least get better painkillers. But I have everything else I need to hand. Crochet of course! Coronation Street on catch up, a family sized box of Maltesers and thousands of nappies. Oh yes…and this little charmer. Lush!
As a footnote, but an important one, I just wanted to say what an amazing health system we have in this country. I'm a big advocate of the NHS and the people who work in it, and I felt important, cared for and supported throughout the whole process. From the midwives and their students who looked after us (Edna, Malin, Lorna and Alex) to the anesthetist who topped up my epidural before the surgery to the lovely breast feeding counsellor Dawn who lay on the floor to show me how to feed in bed rather than mess up my cot. Each and every one – totally brilliant. Makes me proud.

Post subject: Brining meats for BBQ
Picked up this little trick from a TV show and tried it with some porkloins on the Barby. Find a large non-reactive pot and put in 1 gallon of water, 1/2 cup of salt(kosher works best) and 1 cup brown sugar. Put over burner and bring to the boil and disolve the above sugar and salt, add your desired spices. I use 4 crushed garlic cloves, a couple bay leaves,some whole pepper corns,1 1/2 tbsp corriander seeds and a good shot of cayenne pepper. When the salt and sugar have disolved, put the brine in the fridge until completely chilled. Brining must take place at +40*f and NO HIGHER!! Also do not use too much of any acidic friut juices,vinegars and the like,especially with poultry, as they will chemically cook the meat. When the brine is completely cooled, find another non-reactive container that will allow the meat the be COMPLETELY covered by the brine. If the meat trys to float, find something to weigh it down. A tip on the containers here,use stainless,plastic,glass or ceramics as the brine is highly reactive (DON"T use aluminium!!!) Brining will vary with the size of your piece of meat,but rule of thumbs are:
Meat Brine Blend Time
4-5 lb. Pork Loin 24 hrs.
4 to 6 Pork Chops 410 hrs.
Pork Tenderloin 412 hrs.
1216 lb. Turkey 12 days
17+ lb. Turkey 12 days
Whole Turkey Breast 1224 hrs.
Whole Chicken 1824 hrs.
8 to 10 Chicken Pieces 4590 mins.
4 to 6 Chicken Breasts 3060 mins.
1-2 lbs. Shrimp 2040 mins.
Fish Fillets 1030 mins.
After the brining process is done,remove the meat,wash it really good and pat the outside dry. At this point if you want,do a dry rubs with some spices of your choice.Make sure you completely dry the outside of the meat,as too much moisture will steam it. This is especailly true with kettle type BBQ's. Lightly oil the grill surface and place the meat on the grill. Use tongs to turn the meat, don't use a fork that will pierce the surface and release the juices in the meat. Cook as you usually would on the grill, but keep a close watch on the meat, as the cooking time with brining will be about 3/4's the normal. Give a go gang! It sounds like a lot of prep work, but it's worth it. You'll never cook on the BBQ any other way after trying this. The meat is way moist,tender and full of flavour and completely changed the way I cook on the grill.

Collision – People and Events that Shaped the Vietnam era in Maryland
Welcome to the inaugural post of what will be a monthly series highlighting interviews and other recorded materials from the Maryland Historical Society's collection of over 1200 oral histories. The collection ranges from interviews with Maryland politicians such as Theodore R. McKeldin, mayor of Baltimore (1943-1947, 1963-1967) and governor of Maryland (1951-1959), to interviews with more anonymous figures, such as Baltimore screen painter Richard Oktavec. MdHS's earliest oral history is a 1948 Library of Congress recording of an interview with Baltimore journalist H.L. Mencken; the most recent addition is a 2012 interview with Esther McCready, the first African-American undergraduate accepted at the University of Maryland in 1950.
This month we'll be spotlighting an oral history project conducted in 2008 and just recently made available to the public: Collision: People and Events that Shaped the Vietnam era in Maryland. The project, a joint endeavor between MdHS and the now defunct Doris M.Johnson High School in Baltimore, consists of eight interviews with anti-war activists and Vietnam veterans.
Maryland was host to a number of significant anti-war activities during the Vietnam War era. One of the more famous incidents occurred on May 17, 1968 when a group of Catholic activists, including brothers Philip and Daniel Berrigan, set hundreds of draft records ablaze outside of the Catonsville Selective Service office. In October of 1968, the group, which came to be known as the Catonsville Nine, was found guilty in federal court of destruction of U.S. property and interference with the Selective Service Act of 1967. Sentenced to prison terms ranging from two to three and a half years, some of the group chose to go underground; in 1978, Mary Moylan, the last remaining at large member surrendered to the FBI. The Catonsville Nine action and subsequent trial were a major influence on future anti-war and peace actions.
A larger, but less well known series of protests occurred on the campus of the University of Maryland, College Park in May of 1970. On May 1, in response to President Nixon's announcement of the U.S. invasion of Cambodia the previous day, over 1000 anti-war protesters occupied Route One, ransacked the ROTC armory on campus, and engaged state and local police in often violent confrontations. The thirteen hour long episode marked the beginning of a three week series of violent protests that eventually saw the National Guard called in. Although overshadowed by the deaths of four students at the hands of National Guardsmen on May 4 at Kent State University, the demonstrations were some of the largest and most violent of those that swept college campuses during that month. The National Guard also returned to the campus in the spring of 1971 and 1972 in response to student protest.
Interviewees in this project include activist and former nun, Elizabeth McAlister, widow of Catonsville Nine member Philip Berrigan (1923-2002). McAlister discusses the Catonsville Nine action and subsequent trial and her own involvement in the anti-war movement, as well as providing insights into Philip Berrigan's faith and philosophy. Activist David Eberhardt, in a separate interview, speaks about his involvement in the civil rights and peace movements, including his role as a member of the Baltimore Four. The group, which included Phillip Berrigan, was arrested for pouring blood on draft records at the Baltimore Custom House on October 27, 1967.
The project also contains one of the last interviews with historian and activist Howard Zinn before he passed away in January of 2010. Zinn, best known for his book A People's History of the Unites States, discusses his anti-war activism during the Vietnam War as well as his experiences as a bombardier during World War II. Below is a clip from the interview with Zinn speaking about the impact of Baltimore Quaker Norman Morrison's November 2, 1965 self-immolation in front of the Pentagon in protest of the Vietnam War.
