"It's not really 'should we do this.' We have to do this. We don't get to decide what the biology of these diseases are, we just have to work with it."
Barbara Weber, M.D.
Interim Chief Medical Officer
Neon Therapeutics
During the first day of formal discussions, the personalized medicine community will analyze how the most significant trends in health care may affect the field — and vice versa. Participants will examine, among other topics, the significance of the emerging conversation on pharmaceutical pricing, the implications of CRISPR-Cas9 and gene editing technologies to the future of medicine and humanity, and the importance of ensuring that value assessment frameworks have mechanisms in place to account for the value of targeting therapies to only those patients who will benefit.
Joseph B. Martin Conference Center at Harvard Medical School, 77 Avenue Louis Pasteur, Boston, MA 02115
SPEAKER | Edward Abrahams, Ph.D., President, Personalized Medicine Coalition
INTRODUCTION | Steven D. Averbuch, M.D., Head, Precision Medicine, R & D
KEYNOTE | Thomas J. Lynch, Jr., M.D., Executive Vice President, Chief Scientific Officer, R & D, Bristol-Myers Squibb
PRESENTER | Kimberly Popovits, Chairman of the Board, CEO, President, Genomic Health
AWARDEE | Jay T. Flatley, Executive Chairman, Illumina
Light refreshments provided
Aligning the constructs of the health system with the principles of personalized medicine will require stakeholders to scale the most promising cross-sector partnership models. This series of fireside chats will examine the potential of two such models.
9:45 A.M. | A Model for Risk-Sharing Agreements Between Payers and the Pharmaceutical Industry
Many payers are reluctant to assume that covering personalized medicines will help mitigate costs associated with catastrophic medical events that require hospitalization. During this fireside chat, representatives from Amgen and Harvard Pilgrim Health Care will discuss the logic and implications of their groundbreaking agreement to share the financial risks of covering a targeted medicine based on that premise. Under the terms of the agreement, Amgen agreed to cover treatment costs for patients who have a heart attack or stroke while taking its personalized therapy for familial hypercholesterolemia.
10:15 A.M. | A Model for Universal Companion Diagnostic Agreements Between Diagnostic Companies and the Pharmaceutical Industry
The advent of next-generation sequencing has the potential to revolutionize health care by unlocking an era in which doctors can use a single test to assess which of several treatment regimens is most appropriate for a given patient. During this fireside chat, Joydeep Goswami, Ph.D., of Thermo Fisher Scientific will discuss his pioneering work in developing the first of these "universal companion diagnostics" to receive FDA approval — an effort that reinvented the traditional "one drug, one test" model.
FDA has offered a definition of real-world evidence, but the community continues to debate what is needed to fully integrate it into decision-making. This session will explore what real-world evidence is, how it is being used and what regulatory requirements are needed to realize its potential.
A seated luncheon
Many scientists believe the regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR-Cas9) genetic engineering tool and recent developments in gene therapy will dramatically alter the trajectory of medicine, but the implications of these developments for health systems around the world remain unclear. During this session, a panel of experts will discuss the status of these new technologies — and how the medical community and regulatory agencies may have to adapt to keep up with forthcoming developments.
The increasing pressure on industry stakeholders to alter their drug pricing practices has particular significance for personalized medicines, which must recoup research and development costs from smaller patient populations. This conversation will explore the pharmaceutical industry's strategies for facilitating patient access to these therapies.
Light refreshments provided
Payers control access to personalized medicine, and some have begun to take an interest in findings from value assessment frameworks that are challenged to account for scientific developments in the field. In addition to exploring their potential impact on individualized care, this session will examine how value assessment frameworks can and should consider personalized medicine as part of their processes for evaluating therapeutic options.
Although personalized medicine's proponents contend that the field can deliver economic value by helping doctors avoid prescribing costly but ineffective therapies, the field lacks literature testing that hypothesis. This session will highlight recent studies on the clinical and economic value of personalized medicine, shedding light on what we know about personalized medicine's clinical and economic utility — and what we don't.

About this title
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar examines the lives of heroic African-Americans and offers their stories as inspiring examples for people who too rarely encounter positive role models in history texts, schoolrooms, and the media. From Revolutionary War heroes like Crispus Attucks to antislavery activist Frederick Douglass, from frontiersmen like Bass Reeves to scientist Lewis Latimer and artist Duke Ellington, Black Profiles in Courage forcefully documents that African-Americans have always been an integral part of the fabric of our nation, and that they helped to weave that fabric.Review:
With all the flair of his last-second game-winning sky hooks, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar delivers a well-written and important collection highlighting the lives of America's greatest black heroes. Taking his title cue from John Kennedy's Profiles in Courage, Abdul-Jabbar brings to life the exploits of a wide variety of African Americans, including Estevanico, a Moorish slave who discovered Arizona and New Mexico; Cinque, a kidnapped African slave who led a mutiny aboard the slave ship Amistad and later won his freedom in the U.S.; and Harriet Tubman, who brought hundreds of slaves to freedom on the Underground Railroad.
In a time when the media beams negative images of African Americans around the world, Black Profiles in Courage is indispensable for young adults of other races as well as African-American youth, showing that attributes like courage are not coded by color. For those young blacks who feel distant from America because of racism, books like this are a small but potent antidote against prejudice, reminding them of the important contributions African Americans have made to their country. --Eugene Holley, Jr.

Cold Weather and Asthma - anyone else having problems?
Have had asthma and a chest infection since January - the cold weather is a pain for anyone who suffers asthma but this year has been the worst ever for me. I've been power walking for 3 years now with really good speeds achieved but took the C25 challenge up mid January as I needed to up my game a notch. Had got up to week 4 but have had to stop on Docs advice. Decided to go back to the beginning so had a go at week / run 1 today but had to stop 3/4 of the way through as breathing was really laboured. I feel a bit pee'd off but I know I can do it and when the warmer weather comes back (or should that say IF !) I will start over. In the meantime I will keep on with the walking and yoga. Any other asthma sufferers experiencing similar problems?

My hubby has been doing some painting in his office so all of his office things are in my craft room. That has limited what I have been able to do the past few days crafting-wise, so I've been working on taxes instead. Not NEARLY as much fun.
Took a break for that to make a few more squares for Share a Square. Shelly Tucker, the coordinator, would like each afghan to have only one square from each volunteer so she is in need of a few more square to fill up the last afghans. I promised to send 10 more and I'm well on the way to that so here are a few pics of what I have so far. I chose to use orange for most since these are going to children with cancer and you know that particular color doesn't show up very well, so sorry in advance.
The first square is my blueberries pattern. I did a video demonstrating how to do that one. You can find it at the YouTube channel.
The middle ones are mostly Susan Smith's Filet Granny Square which comes perfectly for me using this Caron One Pound orange yarn and an H hook.
The next is my very favorite square pattern - my daughter Kate's X stitch square. You might remember her V Stitch scarf I posted a month or so ago. These two patterns (and more as time allows me to get them up there) will be available at Crochet Cabana on the Other Designers pattern page.
Lastly, is a V stitch square, also my daughter's pattern.
I'll be making one more orange square and then these will be winging their way to Share a Square.
Another item I wanted to mention is Reversible Ripple Afghans.
Kim Guzman will be doing a CAL (crochet-along) using a pattern from this book called Sweetheart Ripple Afghan. The pattern is reversible (as the book notes) with hearts on one side and a straight ripple on the other. The Sweetheart Ripple appeared in Crochet World February 2009 if you happen to have that issue or subscribe to the digital issues where you have access to the archives. I actually forgot I have this pattern and ordered the book and yarn. I went with Vanna's Choice yarn because I am not a big fan of Simply Soft, which is the yarn specified in the pattern.
I know the book is available at Amazon (per link above) and also Knitting Warehouse and Annie's Attic that I've found. I'm sure it is other places as well.
I don't think I've ever done a CAL with anyone else so I'm rather interested in seeing how it goes. I've already joined the Yahoo group. I'm thinking to make a lapghan rather than a full size afghan, but I'll determine whether that's an option after I look at the pattern more closely.
In the Crochet Spot newsletter they featured a nice edging I thought you might like to try. You can see it at http://www.crochetspot.com/how-to-crochet-block-edging/ . I thought it was a nice way to make a block at a time and add an interesting bit to your edging.
That's all for now.
Happy crocheting!

I think the current X100 focuses down to 21cm without entering macro mode as well (mine does!). This may well have improved with firmware updates from the original X100 spec and hence the need to quote the difference.
Long ago one of Fujifilm's marketing droids claimed that the macro button would be removed in favor of an automatic macro mode. I see that claim has not come to fruition.

It's probably no understatement to say that digital TV broadcasters, conditional access providers, and receiver manufacturers are paranoid about security. There are two major parts to this:
In web terms, this is like making sure that only registered users can access the paid-for sections of your web site, while at the same time keeping your site secure so that it can't be cracked or defaced.
The first of these issues is a fairly well-known problem that the TV industry (analog as well as digital) has been aware of for many years. Encryption and scrambling techniques are used in almost all digital TV systems, and this will not significantly change with MHP. The main place where MHP-specific security applies is when dealing with interactive applications in an MHP receiver.
As we've already seen from looking at the various MHP APIs, security is a major consideration that is behind many design decisions. In consumer applications it is important for the platform to be as reliable as possible, and this is doubly true when third parties can execute code on that platform. While people will tolerate problems with a PC, they are much less likely to tolerate problems with a consumer device. This is why an MHP receiver has several different security mechanisms built-in.
The first of these security mechanisms is application authentication. A broadcaster can digitally sign an application so that the receiver can be sure the application has not been tampered with. This signing process has three components:
A broadcaster can use a hash file to provide a checksum for files or directories, thus ensuring that the contents have not been corrupted. This hash file has the name
dvb.hashfile, and each directory containing files with associated hash values will contain one hash file. These hashes may be computed using either the MD5 or SHA-1 algorithms.
The actual signing process takes the master hash file for the subdirectory containing the application as input. This hash file is the hash for all files in that directory and subdirectories (calculated using other hash files for those directories). To sign an application, the broadcaster calculates the hash value for this hash file, then encrypts the resulting hash using a public-key algorithm. The broadcaster uses their private key to encrypt this data and includes the corresponding public key in the broadcast filesystem (see below).
In order to sign a directory tree, the broadcaster places this signature in a file called
dvb.signature.<id_number> where
<id_number> is a decimal integer with no leading zeroes. This ID number allows a directory tree to be signed by several different authorities.
Of course, signing an application is no use if the receiver doesn't know which applications should be signed - otherwise, we could simply remove any signature information. The receiver can tell which applications are signed and which are not simply be looking at the Application ID that is signalled in the AIT. The address space for an application ID is split into two ranges. Any application ID in the range 0x000 to 0x3FFF is considered to be an unsigned application. Applications with an application ID in the range 0x4000 to 0x7FFF is considered to be signed with a digital signature. Any application with an ID in the signed ID range must have a valid signature or it will nto be authorised..
As we've already seen, the broadcaster must include their public key in the filesystem so that the digital signature can be decrypted. This is contained in the certificate file, which has the name
dvb.certificate.<id_number>. Any directory containing a signature file must also contain certificate file with the same ID number so that particular signature can be authenticated. Each certificate must itself be certified, in a hierarchy leading back to a root certification authority.
The format of the hash, signature and certificate files is covered in detail in section 12.4 of the MHP specification. We won't examine this in any detail here, because it's pretty straightforward to understand.
The signing process takes place as follows. Consider the following directory tree:
In this case, we wish to sign all the files highlighted in red (i.e just the class files). Files shown with dashed lines are not present in the filesystem at first - these are added by the signing process.
To sign this directory tree, this is what happens:
subdir directory. Only the two class files are included in the resulting hash, since we are not authenticating the JPEG file. This results in a new file,
dvb.hashfile, being added to the
subdir directory.
dvb.hashfile file only from any subdirectories. This then generates a
dvb.hashfile file for the parent directory.
dvb.certificate.1 in the root directory. This encrypted hash value is then stored in the file
We are skipping over some of the details of the various files that we add - the format if these files is not quite this simple. As stated above, the MHP specification gives the full format of these files.
Broadcasters should be careful when signing applications to make sure that they do so in an efficient way. The format of the hash file format allows us to group several files or directories together and use one digest value for all of the objects in the group, which may seem efficient in theory but which has a big problem in practise.
While generating the digest values is a quick process at the head-end, checking them at the receiver is normally much harder because of the CPU power fo the receiver and because of the time needed to load the hash files from the object carousel. If we have grouped several objects together and used a single digest value, the receiver has to load all of the objects in the group in order to check the hash value for any object in that group. Since DSM-CC filesystems can have a very high latency, this can take a long time and cause big delays in loading the application. In most cases, using a separate digest value for each object is no more difficult, and it can greatly improve performance.
From the application point of view, the security model is basically that of PersonalJava, with a few restrictions. Many of the APIs introduced by MHP define a number of security related exceptions, which may get thrown when an application does not have sufficient rights to perform certain operations. For instance, applications do not by default have permission to use the application listing and launching API to control other applications - they only have the rights to get information about those applications.
Unsigned applications have only the basic set of rights. Signed applications also only have this basic set by default, but broadcasters and application developers may include a permission request file which the system can use to grant more rights. This permission request file is an XML document with the format given in part 12.6.2 of the MHP specification. This file is stored in the same directory as the main file for the application (either the initial class file for a DVB-J application or the first HTML file for a DVB-HTML application), and has the name
dvb.<initial_file_name>.perm, where
<initial_file_name> is the name of the main file of the application.
An example permission request file is shown below, taken from the MHP specification.
<?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE permissionrequestfile PUBLIC "-//DVB//DTD Permission Request File 1.0//EN" "http://www.dvb.org/mhp/dtd/permissionrequestfile-1-0.dtd"> <permissionrequestfile orgid="0x000023d2" appid="0x0020"> <file value="true"></file> <capermission> <casystemid id="0x1111" messagepassing="true" entitlementquery="true" mmi="false"> </casystemid> </capermission> <applifecyclecontrol value="true"> </applifecyclecontrol> <returnchannel> <defaultisp></defaultisp> <phonenumber>+3583111111</phonenumber> <phonenumber>+3583111112</phonenumber> <phonenumber></phonenumber> </returnchannel> <tuning value="false"></tuning> <servicesel value="true"></servicesel> <userpreferences read="true" write="false"> </userpreferences> <network> <host action="connect">hostname</host> </network> <persistentfilecredential> <grantoridentifier id="0x0202030"> </grantoridentifier> <expirationdate date="24/12/2032"> </expirationdate> <filename read="true" write="false"> 5/15/dir1/scores </filename> <filename read="true" write="false"> 5/15/dir1/names </filename> <signature> 023203293292932932921493143929423943294239432 </signature> <certchainfileid>3</certchainfileid> </persistentfilecredential> </permissionrequestfile>
The fact that an application requests these permissions is no guarantee that it will get them, however - the user must explicitly grant an application these permissions. Exactly how this is done will vary from receiver to receiver - some may set these values as part fo the user preferences, some may ask the user every time, some may take yet another approach. In every case, however, the application should always be aware that it may only get some of the permissions that it requested.

In this last part of our chat with Musicbed CEO Daniel McCarthy, we talk about Filmsupply, the stock video arm of the Musicbed brand. After having been well-received by users for the first five years, the next logical step for Musicbed was to expand from music into the stock video market. Following Musicbed's same philosophy of cherry-picking highly-curated cinematic content from only the best creators, Filmsupply set out to break the preconception of cheesy and overused stock video. Daniel tells us how they approached the first filmmakers to contribute to Filmsupply, and how to brand has continued to grow in recent years. The success of both of these platforms could be due to their very clear mission of empowering the artist, be it a musician or a filmmaker. By compensating the creators of their stock catalogue with a very fair percentage that's uncommon in this industry not only does the company perpetuate the mutual relationship between musicians and filmmakers, but contributes to the development of creative careers to continue innovating in their respective genres. Of course, being able to pay contributors a fair share means the price is a little bit higher for the end user. We discuss further how this model compares to the more affordable subscription-based platforms for stock content. A very enlightening look into the world of stock content!

As we continue our chat with Musicbed CEO Daniel McCarthy, we discuss the selection process for Musicbed artists, as well as the importance of catering to the new generation of filmmakers. The first thought that may come to your head when thinking about stock music is the kind of project that simply doesn't have the budget to hire a composer. However, money is not always the main limitation — sometimes the deciding factor may actually be time. We discuss the importance of of providing a quality product regardless of the kind of project. We also touch on the subject of how Musicbed selects the artists it works with. Although there still is an element of receiving large amounts of artist submissions, Musicbed has since moved on to actively reaching out to artists that may actually go on to become highly successful outside of the stock music sphere, working much like a music label. But who are the people using the tracks in the Musicbed catalogue? Daniel explains the split between its customer base of indie filmmakers and other uses. He also highlights the importance of establishing a good connection with the younger generation of filmmakers — after all, "The 22 year-old kid that's getting a DSLR for the first time right now is going to be shooting Nike spots in a decade". Good point! Musicbed will be holding its first conference at the end of September in Texas, with guest Keynote speakers of the caliber of Shane Hurlbut ASC, or National Geographic Creative Director Andy Baker. Daniel gives us all the details, including pricing, early bird ticket prices and more. Please visit our sponsors' websites to keep new episodes of ON THE GO coming!

On this episode of ON THE GO, we talk to Daniel McCarthy, CEO of the very popular and extremely well-curated music licensing site Musicbed. As we navigate the Las Vegas traffic, we talk to Daniel about the origins of Musicbed, their journey throughout the past 6 years, and how they managed to give a breath of fresh air with their choice of music to an increasingly stale stock music landscape. Perhaps the success of the Musicbed platform can be boiled down to the company's overall philosophy: rather than just providing a catalogue of tracks, Musicbed is constantly trying to find the next best thing, working with new artists as they make it big in the industry. A good example was their work along with the band Imagine Dragons, which signed with Musicbed a few years before breaking into the mainstream. Daniel also tells us how important it is to develop lasting relationships with the artists, and compensating them accordingly. We discuss how their model of charging on a per-track basis compares with the generally more affordable subscription-based models for music licensing, and the pros and cons of both types. Although Musicbed prices its tracks according to the size of audience you intend your project to have, we discuss how the company is always willing to work with you to find the right deal. Make sure to check out the large Musicbed catalogue on their site. Please visit our sponsors' websites to keep new episodes of ON THE GO coming!

Music-licensing platform newcomer Soundstripe stays fresh by launching a website overhaul and a host of new features. Read on to find out more and get a discount coupon code! We first covered Soundstripe last year in our post comparing various competing music licensing sites. Back then, the platform was just getting started, but their premise was simple: an affordable, no-strings-attached, monthly subscription-based music-licensing service. A few months later, they even removed the tier system that increased the price of music licenses depending on the size of your expected audience, a move that further added to making Soundstripe a very competitive alternative. Now, just over a year after its birth, Soundstripe has launched a brand new site, offering various new features. But first, check out the announcement message from founders Travis and Micah: Soundstripe – New Features The new site now lets you create playlists of potential music tracks, allowing you to easily share ideas for music track candidates with clients and teammates. This means no more sending endless lists of individual links or track names. In addition, you can now search and apply filters within playlists, such as narrowing down your search by mood, genre, pace, and even individual instruments. Some of the site's new features. Right now you can purchase a subscription for only $15/month, which you can cancel at any time. The price for a yearly subscription is $135, which means a 25% discount for a year.

The new Pond5 Add-on allows you to browse, audition and purchase stock material from right within Adobe Premiere CC. The new Pond5 add-on — available for download from the Adobe Add-On marketplace — aims to streamline the workflow for users who rely on stock material for their work. Instead of browsing the Pond5 catalogue on its website, Pond5 has made it possible to go through the whole process of browsing, auditioning and purchasing media right from within Adobe Premiere. The Pond5 panel makes it possible to quickly search the catalogue of over 7 million videos and 1 million audio files thanks to its search bar and filters, which include price, duration and frame rate. Once you find a suitable clip, you can simply drag a watermarked version straight into your timeline to start editing. Once you're happy with your choice of material, you can chose to replace the watermarked versions with Hi-Res files. This will open a window prompting you to purchase the required clips, and voila! You've just added stock material to your project without ever leaving Premiere or even opening up a browser. In order to help you keep things organised, the Pond5 Add-On even lets you access the existing Pond5 Media Collections associated to your account, as well as create new ones right there in the application. Downloading the Pond5 Add-On also gets you 50 video clips with a total value of over $1000, so you can get started with adding some great-quality clips to your work straight away. The Pond5 Add-On is already available for download from HERE. To see it in action, don't miss the promotional video below: Are you a Pond5 user?

The latest update for the Filmstro music-scoring app offers an extended library and a host of useful features for their standalone version. If you find scoring music to your work a bit frustrating and can't quite make those licensed music tracks fit your film, then Filmstro may be a good alternative. It is a music-scoring app that's useful, intuitive and fun to use, and we have used it extensively in the past with some very nice results. Check out our review HERE! The app has now received a major update for its standalone version that offers a few new additions to the interface to make the overall user experience a little bit more streamlined. Filmstro Update – What's New? In addition to a general aesthetic update, the Filmstro library now houses over 60 albums of music ranging across a variety of genres. Of course, with an ever-expanding library, it can be quite easy to quite literally "lose track". Filmstro have included a Collections feature to allow for easier navigation across their catalogue, as well as a Favourites feature to keep track of potential candidates. Filmstro's new Favourites features. A growing library also means a lot of downloadable content, which may be a problem for editors on the go who like to keep their laptops lean in terms of storage. A new feature also allows you to download individual albums or tracks instead of a whole new batch of music. Also new is having all those new tracks grouped together in one place to find them easily if you're looking for something fresh to add to your video. While Filmstro may seem a little limiting to some of the more demanding users, having the option to taylor the rise and fall in energy of a track to the pace of your video with a simple 3-slider interface is just a really useful tool for most situations, and really does bridge the gap between having a fixed music track or hiring a composer. Also, the app has become a lot more useful through its recent integration with Premiere Pro, doing away with the need to export a video edit to work with in the standalone version. Check out our tutorial of this feature in the video below! The video above is just one part of our three-part Music Month series with Filmstro. Make sure you check out Part 1 and Part 2 to learn more about music scoring. You can download Filmstro HERE. Are you a Filmstro user?

Since we first looked at Music Vine back in March last year, they have steadily grown and worked on becoming a more prominent player in the music licensing arena. Now with a broader catalogue of tracks and a refurbished interface, the platform looks to be maturing as they solidify their position in the market. In their own words, they're "offering a refreshingly diverse selection of top-end music at affordable licence prices." – Sounds promising. Let's take a closer look. It seems like music licensing is becoming a growingly crowded field, which is the best that could happen to us filmmakers. As there's more competition, we see prices go down and quality go up. This is also the case for Music Vine, as they started out with a limited collection and a limited set of features that has now received several updates and can better compete with other music licensing platforms like Musicbed, Art-List, Marmoset, Audio Network and Filmstro, just to name a few. New Features at Music Vine The guys at Music Vine have recently added 5 new features to the site and gave us a run-down on the enhancements: Surf The Waveform Just like we've seen it on most other platforms, Music Vine have added a sizeable waveform visual to their tracks. This is a big one for them, as you can now start playing a track midway through by clicking at a certain point along the waveform. Also there is minimal lag, the whole site is fast and responsive, which is always important when you have to listen to hundreds of tracks to find the right one for your project. Playlists You can now add tracks into personal playlists. While playlists certainly aren't a groundbreaking feature for any serious music licensing site, the way it works on Music Vine is refreshingly straight-forward, with some very handy sharing options. That last point gives you the ability to share selections with your clients or team. Very useful. Playback Modes For many of us, it's not uncommon to play a track in the background to see how it works alongside footage, something that is often an awkward juggling act. The chaps at Music Vine have endeavoured to offer some help here by including several new playback options. One of these is a mode called 'first 15 seconds only' which, as you'd expect, plays only the first 15 seconds before moving onto the next track. This can be useful for those who like to set a collection playing in the background while they work, just to listen out for the 'right' track. Additional Versions At Music Vine many of the tracks have alternative versions that come bundled-in when you purchase the licence. This is a great benefit and certainly something we'd like to see on other platforms as well. Audio Network offers a number of alternative tracks for a lot of their huge selection and other platforms also offer tracks as instrumental options for example. But on Music Vine there is no additional charge or licensing for the extras. With that in mind, the new 'versions icon' on the main browse page shows how many versions are included with each track and when you hover over the icon it provides a summary of those versions. The slight downfall here, however, is that we can't preview those alternative versions – but the Music Vine team said that they are working on this as well. No More Watermark We did previously mark the platform down a little because of the audio 'watermark' that would regularly intrude while browsing. This has now been given the boot which is great news. What's Next? Co-founder, Lewis, has explained to us that they are currently rebuilding the Music Vine platform from the ground-up after having received significant investment in autumn last year. We're pretty happy with the current updates, but we're looking forward to find out what else they will have in store for us. On a side-note, this update also falls together with Art-list.io's relaunch of their site, that we heard about earlier this month and is due to hit us next week. It's great to see these music licensing sites grow and thrive. Right now most of them continue to follow in the footsteps of Musicbed, which is the largest site with over 600 musicians, lots of quality tracks, but also the most expensive licenses.

The Generics Pharmacy
The Generics Pharmacy, Inc. (TGP) traces its beginnings to 1949 when Pacific Pharma, a German importer and wholesaler of medicine, was founded. Ten years later, the company was bought by the Liuson family. In 1983, Pacific Pharma realized that the high prices of branded medicine made it impossible for most Filipinos to afford quality healthcare. Wanting to make a difference, Pacific Pharma shifted its focus to affordable but quality generic medicine. The 1990's saw a significant push for generics with the passing of the Cheaper Medicine Act. With the concurrent shift in market preference, the company ventured into retail and opened the first TGP store in 2001. Six years later, in 2007, TGP adopted the franchise business model, one of the pillars of its success which jumpstarted the growth of outlets.
TGP was the first to offer 100% generics while other drugstores sold 90% branded and only 10% generic medicine. In 2016, Robinsons Retail, through its subsidiary South Star Drug, Inc., acquired 51% of TGP. Todate, TGP has reached an unprecedented milestone with 1,900 stores all over Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao - the largest network of drugstores in the country.

— The 6-foot-6 guard finished his senior season in the top two in nearly every statistical category for the Illini. He led the team in scoring and steals and was second in rebounding and assists.
— Hill's 17.2 points-per-game average saw him climb Illinois' all-time scoring leaderboard throughout the season. His 29 points in the Illini's NIT quarterfinal loss to Central Florida cemented him at No. 3 all time with 1,846 points.
— Not since Deon Thomas has an Illinois player finished his career with more than 1,800 points and 600 rebounds. Hill joined the program's all-time leading scorer in that elite group.
— In addition to making the top three on the career scoring list, Hill ranks in the top 10 in program history in seven other statistical categories.
— A second-team All-Big Ten selection by both the coaches and media, Hill got some national recognition, too, in the 2016-17 season. His 14 Game MVPs, per the KenPom ratings, tied him for eighth nationally.

Roar Rookie
Really, the 52 cans is what you perceive as the most remembered thing about Boon? Sad, man. I've often thought that story apocryphal, and find it eminently forgettable compared to his batting and short leg fielding exploits.
As for employer responsibilities you're absolutely right, they exist and rightly so. But steady on if you want to absolve individual responsibilities as well, they're still a big part of the equation. O'Keefe has to front up for his actions.
Thing I wonder is why there aren't minders at these things to make sure the talent tows the line. Or if there are, where were they on this occasion?
He certainly has a problem. I'm finding it easier and easier to believe that it's his personality that's kept him out of the national team all these years. If he and Lyon were still dueling for an Ashes spot, O'Keefe has probably just blown it.

What better way to spread good cheer and warm the cockles of your guest's hearts than with a delicious platter of assorted appetizers? Aside from stirring up an appetite for the main course, appetizers are the highlight of any party. Each occasion has its own specific appetizers. For instance the appetizers you would find at a wedding reception would be a lot more traditional than those at an informal get together. Fast and easy to prepare, appetizers are a saving grace when you are pressed for time and keep your guests content while you rustle up the entrée in the kitchen. So, keep your napkins and side plates at hand as we introduce you to some easy appetizer recipes that will wow the guests at your next party.
Classic appetizers
The classic appetizers that are common to most occasions include crackers and cheese, olives,nuts and different varieties of bread. In fact bread and crackers cleanse the palate when there is a choice of wines served. Breads that have a subtle sweet flavor are ideal for such occasions, as they do not offset the sweetness of the wine.
Say cheese!
Cheese when served with a robust red wine, make for an explosive combination. The salty, creamy flavor of the cheese combines marvelously with the tart sweetness of wine. When serving cheese, keep cocktail forks and knives handy so that your guests can serve themselves. Avoid serving cheeses that have a strong aroma as it would create an unsavory situation for your guests.
Cocktail accompaniments
Olives are an excellent accompaniment at any cocktail party. You could serve them in the form of margaritas or with wine. Olives with a subtle salty flavor should be preferred over the more spicy varieties when serving them with wine, so as not to counter the flavors of the spirit. Nuts being neutral in flavor are also excellent cocktail accompaniments.
Pigs in a blanket
Pigs in a blanket are one of the classic appetizer recipes that never get old. These are basically made by slicing pieces of Vienna sausage or a hot dog and then wrapping them up in a crescent roll. Pigs in a blanket are a fast and easy appetizer that can be made in a hurry. Simply chop a can of crescent rolls, wrap around the sausage meat and let it bake in the oven for sometime. The oils and fat present in the sausage would cook the meat and crescent rolls together. Guests are bound to enjoy this delicacy with an aged red wine.
Wontons are originally an Asian delicacy that has now become a popular appetizer at most parties. They are made out of ground meat, which can be either beef or chicken. The meat is combined with vegetables such as carrots, cabbage and onions and blended into a creamy mixture. It is then stuffed into a Wonton wrapper and deep-fried until golden brown. They go excellently well with a spicy dip.
When it comes to delighting your guests, nothing does the trick better than a scrumptious appetizer. They can be rustled up within minutes using everyday ingredients. So, the next time you organize a party, be sure to experiment in the kitchen and come up with some mouth-watering appetizers to kick off the occasion.

Excerpt from "Las Siete Partidas: Laws on Jews" (1265)

Excerpt from The Itinerary of Benjamin Tudela: Travels in the Middle Ages (late twelfth century)
Originally written by Benjamin of Tudela; Translated by Marcus Nathan Adler; Published in 1907
In the first excerpt of this section, the twelfth-century Jewish historian Solomon bar Samson describes how the enthusiasm for the Crusades bubbled over at the time of the First Crusade (1095–99), resulting in the killings of thousands of Jews in Germany as these Crusaders passed through the Rhineland on their way to the Holy Land. Considered infidels, the Jews became fair game for some Crusaders who wanted an excuse to loot the property of these people. Emich of Leiningen, a German noble, led one such group of soldiers who were responsible for the killings in the German city of Mainz that are described by Solomon bar Samson. Called Emico in this excerpt, this German Crusader was only one of several unscrupulous (without morals) leaders at the time of the First Crusade. A knight named Volkmar was another.
In the second excerpt, anti-Jewish laws are presented in "La Siete Partidas," or the Seven-Part Code, written in Castile, Spain, in 1265 but not put into effect until almost a hundred years later. In Spain during the thirteenth century the Jews were still too powerful and important to be mistreated. However, similar anti-Jewish, or anti-Semitic, laws were already in effect in much of the rest of Europe, many of them promoted by the Catholic Church. At the great meetings or councils of the church, called the Lateran Councils, laws were passed restricting the rights and privileges of Jews. The Fourth Lateran Council in 1215 made a law that Jews were forced to a wear a badge that separated them from Christians.
In the third excerpt, the twelfth-century Spanish (and Jewish) traveler Benjamin of Tudela provides an account of the situation of Jews not only in Europe but also throughout the Middle East at the time of the Crusades. On the whole, his travelogue shows that Jewish people were better off under Islamic rule than they were in Europe, where they were controlled by Christian laws. Benjamin provides a comparison, for example, of the harsh treatment of Jews in Constantinople, an Eastern Orthodox Christian city, with the kinder and more considerate treatment the Jewish people received at the hands of the caliph, or religious leader, of the Muslim city of Baghdad.
Things to Remember While Reading Excerpts from "The Jewish World":
- Crusaders were not always armies of noble, God-loving knights, as is shown in the excerpt about the killings of Jews in Mainz. Although the Jews sought safety in the palace of the archbishop, a high church official of the city, they were still killed by Emich/Emico and his men.
- There were numerous laws restricting the rights of Jews in Europe. Jews were forbidden to have Christian servants or to have relations of any sort other than business with Christians
- Innocent III, pope from 1198 to 1216, was the first pope who did not attempt to protect the Jews of Europe. In fact, Innocent III actually added to their persecution by passing a law that forced Jews to wear badges to separate them from the rest of society.
- Under Islamic law, the Jews did not have the full rights of Muslim citizens. They still had to pay taxes to the head of state. Depending on the ruler, however, Jews might or might not be segregated from the rest of society as they were in Europe.
- Despite or perhaps because of the persecution the Jews suffered, they developed a rich tradition of scholarship and philosophy. The Jewish diaspora, or spreading of Jewish people all over after they left the Holy Land, resulted in small and large communities of Jews throughout Europe and the Middle East, each with its own rabbi or scholarly and religious leader.
Excerpt from "The Crusaders in Mainz"
It was on the third of Siwan… at noon, that Emico the wicked, the enemy of the Jews, came with his whole army against the city gate, and the citizens opened it up for him. Emico, a German noble, led a band of plundering German and French crusaders. Then the enemies of the Lord said to each other: "Look! They have opened up the gate for us. Now let us avenge the blood of 'the hanged one' [Jesus]." The children of the holy covenant who were there, martyrs who feared the Most High, although they saw the great multitude, an army numerous as the sand on the shore of the sea, still clung to their Creator. Then young and old donned their armor and girded on their weapons and at their head was Rabbi Kalonymus ben Meshullam, the chief of the community. Yet because of the many troubles and the fasts which they had observed they had no strength to stand up against the enemy.… Then came gangs and bands, sweeping through like a flood until Mayence [Mainz] was filled from end to end.
The foe Emico proclaimed in the hearing of the community that the enemy be driven from the city.… Panic was great in the town. Each Jew in the inner court of the bishop girded on his weapons, and all moved towards the palace gate to fight the crusaders and the citizens. They fought each other up to the very gate, but the sins of the Jews brought it about that the enemy overcame them and took the gate.
The hand of the Lord was heavy against His people. All the Gentiles were gathered together against the Jews in the courtyard to blot out their name, and the strength of our people weakenedwhen they saw the wicked Edomites overpowering them. [The Edomites were the traditional foes of the Jews; here, Christians are meant.] The bishop's men, who had promised to help them, were the very first to flee, thus delivering the Jews into the hands of the enemy. They were indeed a poor support; even the bishop himself fled from his church for it was thought to kill him also because he had spoken good things of the Jews.…
When the children of the covenant [the Jews] saw that the heavenly decree of death had been issued and that the enemy had conquered them and had entered the courtyard, then all of them—old men and young, virgins and children, servants and maids—cried out together to their Father in heaven and, weeping for themselves and for their lives, accepted as just the sentence of God. One to another they said: "Let us be strong and let us bear the yoke
With a whole heart and with a willing soul they then spoke: "After all it is not right to criticize the acts of God—blessed be He and blessed be His name—who has given to us His Torah and a command to put ourselves to death, to kill ourselves for the unity of His holy name. Happy are we if we do His will. Happy is anyone who is killed or slaughtered, who dies for the unity of His name.… He exchanges the world of darkness for the world of light, the world of trouble for the world of joy, and the world that passes away for the world that lasts for all eternity." Then all of them, to a man, cried out with a loud voice: "Now we must delay no longer for the enemy are already upon us.… Let him who has a knife examine it that it not be nicked, and let him come and slaughter us for the sanctification of the Only One, the Everlasting and then let him cut his own throat or plunge the knife into his own body." [A nick in the slaughterer's knife would make it ritually unfit.]
As soon as the enemy came into the courtyard they found some of the very pious there with our brilliant master, Isaac ben Moses. He stretched out his neck, and his head they cut off first. The others, wrapped by their fringed praying shawls, sat by themselves in the courtyard, eager to do the will of their Creator. They did not care to flee into the chamber to save themselves for this temporal life, but out of love they received upon themselves the sentence of God. The enemy showered stones and arrows upon them, but they did not care to flee, and [Esther 9:5] "with the stroke of the sword, and with slaughter, and destruction" the foe killed all of those whom they found there.…
The women there girded their loins with strength and slew their sons and their daughters and then themselves. Many men, too, plucked up courage and killed their wives, their sons, their infants. The tender and delicate mother slaughtered the babe she had played with.… The maidens and the young brides and grooms looked out of the Windows and in a loud voice cried: "Look and see, O our God, what we do for the sanctification of Thy great name in order not to exchange you for a hanged and crucified one.…"
Thus were the precious children of Zion, the Jews of Mayence, tried with ten trials.… They stretched out their necks to the slaughter and they delivered their pure souls to their Father in heaven.…
The ears of him who hears these things will tingle, for whoever heard anything like this? Inquire now and look about, was there ever such an abundant sacrifice as this since the days of the primeval Adam? Were there ever eleven hundred offerings on one day, each one of them like the sacrifice of Isaac, the son of Abraham?
Yet see what these martyrs did! Why did the heavens not grow dark and the stars not withdraw their brightness? Why did not the moon and the sun grow dark in their heavens when on one day, on the third of Siwan, on a Tuesday eleven hundred souls were killed and slaughtered, among them many infants and sucklings who had not transgressed nor sinned, and many poor, innocent souls?
Wilt Thou, despite this, still restrain Thyself, O Lord? For thy sake it was that these numberless souls were killed. Avenge quickly the blood of Thy servants which was spilt in our days and in our sight. Amen.
Excerpt from " Las Siete Partidas: Laws on Jews"
A party who believes in, and adheres to the law of Moses is called a Jew.… The reason that the church, emperors, kings and princes permitted the Jews to dwell among them and with Christians is because they always lived, as it were, in captivity, as it was constantly in the minds of men that they were descended from those who crucified Our Lord Jesus Christ.
Jews should pass their lives among Christians quietly, … practicing their own religious rites, and not speaking ill of the faith of Our Lord Jesus Christ.… A Jew should be very careful to avoid preaching to, or converting any Christian .… by exalting his own belief and disparaging ours. Whoever violates this law shall be put to death and lose all his property. And because we have heard it said that in some places Jews celebrated, and still celebrate, Good Friday, which commemorates the Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ, by way of contempt: stealing children and fastening them to crosses, … we order that … if in any part of our dominions anything like this is done, and can be proved, all persons who were present when the act was committed shall be … arrested … and after the king ascertains that they are guilty, he shall cause them to be put to death in a disgraceful manner.…
A synagogue is a place where the Jews pray, and a new building of this kind cannot be erected in any part of our dominions, except by our order. Where, however, those which formerly existed there are torn down, they can be built in the same spot where they originally stood; but they cannot be made any larger or raised to any greater height, or be painted.… And for the reason that a synagogue is a place where the name of God is praised, we forbid any Christian to deface it, or remove anything from it, or take anything out of it by force; except where some malefactor takes refuge there.… Moreover, we forbid Christians to … place any hindrance in the way of the Jews while they are there performing their devotions according to their religion.…
Saturday is the day on which Jews perform their devotions, and remain quiet in their lodgings and do not make contracts or transact any business.… Wherefore we order that no judge shall employ force or any constraint upon Jews on Saturday, in order to bring them into court on account of their debts; or arrest them.… Jews are not bound to obey a summons served upon them on that day; and, moreover, we decree that any decision rendered against them on Saturday shall not be valid; but if a Jew should wound, kill, rob, steal, or commit any other offense like these for which he can be punished in person and property, then the judge can arrest him on Saturday.…
No force or compulsion shall be employed in any way against a Jew to induce him to become a Christian; but Christians should convert him to the faith of Our Lord Jesus Christ by means of the texts of the Holy Scriptures, and by kind words.… We also decree that if any Jew or Jewess should voluntarily desire to become a Christian, the other Jews shall not interfere with this in any way, and if they stone, wound, or kill any such person, … we order that all the murderers, or the abettors of said murder … shall be burned.… We also order that, after any Jews become Christians, all persons in our dominions shall honor them; and that no one shall dare to reproach them or their descendants, by way of insult, with having been Jews.…
Where a Christian is so unfortunate as to become a Jew, we order that he shall be put to death just as if he had become a heretic; and we decree that his property shall be disposed of in the same way that we stated should be done with that of heretics.
We forbid any Jew to keep Christian men or women in his house, to be served by them; although he may have them to cultivate and take care of his lands, or protect him on the way when he is compelled to go to some dangerous place. Moreover, we forbid any Christian man or woman to invite a Jew or a Jewess, or to accept an invitation from them, to eat or drink together, or to drink any wine made by their hands.… We also order that no Jews shalldare to bathe in company with Christians, and that no Christian shall take any medicine or cathartic made by a Jew.…
Jews who live with Christian women are guilty of great insolence and boldness, for which reason we decree that all Jews who … may be convicted of having done such a thing shall be put to death. For if Christians who commit adultery with married women deserve death on that account, much more do Jews who have sexual intercourse with Christian women, who are spiritually the wives of Our Lord Jesus Christ; … nor do we consider it proper that a Christian woman who commits an offense of this kind shall escape without punishment. Wherefore we order that, whether she be a virgin, a married woman, a widow, or a common prostitute who gives herself to all men, she shall suffer the same penalty … [i.e., confiscation of property, scourging , or death].
Many crimes and outrageous things occur between Christians and Jews because they live together in cities, and dress alike; and in order to avoid the offenses and evils which take place for this reason, … we order that all Jews … living in our dominions shall bear some distinguishing mark upon their heads, … and any Jew who does not bear such a mark, shall pay for each time he is found without it ten maravedis of gold; and if he has not the means to do this he shall receive ten lashes for his offense.
Excerpts from The Itinerary of Benjamin Tudela: Travels in the Middle Ages
Constantinople is a busy city, and merchants come to it from every country by sea or land, and there is none like it in the world except Baghdad, the great city of Islam. In Constantinople is the church of Santa Sophia, and the seat of the Pope of the Greeks, since the Greeks do not obey the pope of Rome. There are also churches according to the number of days of the year. A quantity of wealth beyond all telling is brought hither year by year as tribute from the two islands, and the castles and villages which are there. And the like of this wealth is not to be found in any other church in the world. And in this church there are pillars of gold and silver, and lamps of silver and gold more than a man can count. Close to the walls of the palace is also a place of amusement belonging to the king, which is called the Hippodrome, and every year on the anniversaryof the birth of Jesus the king gives a great entertainment there. And in that place men from all the races of the world come before the king and queen with jugglery and without jugglery, and they introduce lions, leopards, bears, and wild asses, and they engage them in combat with one another; and the same thing is done with birds. No entertainment like this can be found in any other land.
This King Emanuel built a great palace for the seat of his government upon the seacoast.… He overlaid its columns with gold and silver, and engraved thereon representations of the battles before his day and of his own combats. He also set up a throne of gold and of precious stones, and a golden crown was suspended by a gold chain over the throne, so arranged that he might sit thereunder. It was inlaid with jewels of priceless value, and at night time no lights were required, for every one could see by the light which the stones gave forth.… From every part of the empire of Greece tribute is brought here every year, and they fill strongholds with garments of silk, purple, and gold.… It is said that the tribute of the city amounts every year to 20,000 gold pieces, derived both from the rents of shops and markets, and from the tribute of merchants who enter by sea or land.
The Greek inhabitants are very rich in gold and precious stones, and they go clothed in garments of silk with gold embroidery, and they ride horses, and look like princes. Indeed, the land is very rich in all cloth stuffs, and in bread, meat, and wine.
Wealth like that of Constantinople is not to be found in the whole world. Here are also men learned in all the books of the Greeks, and they eat and drink, every man under his vine and his fig-tree.…
No Jews live in the city, for they have been placed behind an inlet of the sea. An arm of the sea of Marmora shuts them in on the one side, and they are unable to go out except by way of the sea, when they want to do business with the inhabitants.… And amongst them are artificers in silk and many rich merchants. No Jew there is allowed to ride on horseback. The one exception is the king's physician, and through whom the Jews enjoy considerable alleviation of their oppression. For their condition is very low, and there is much hatred against them, which is fostered by the tanners, who throw out their dirty water in the streets before the doors of the Jewish houses and defile the Jews' quarter. So the Greeks hate the Jews, good and bad alike, and subject them to great oppression, and beat them in the streets, and in every way treat them with rigor. Yet the Jews are rich and good, kindly and charitable, and bear their lot with cheerfulness.…
There is no harbor like [Tyre] in the whole world. Tyre is a beautiful city. It contains about 500 Jews, some of the scholars of the Talmud.… The Jews own sea-going vessels, and there are glassmakers amongst them who make that fine Tyranian glassware which is prized in all countries. In the vicinity is found sugar of a high class, for men plant it here, and people come from all over to buy it. A man can ascend the walls of New Tyre and see ancient Tyre, which the sea has now covered, lying at a stone's throw fromthe new city. And should one care to go forth
Damascus, the great city, which is the commencement of the empire of Nur al-din, the king of the Togarmin, called Turks. It is a fair city of large extent, surrounded by walls, with many gardens and plantations, extending over fifteen miles on each side, and no district richer in fruit can be seen in all the world.… The city is situated at the foot of Mount Hermon. The Amana flows through the city, and by means of aqueducts the water is conveyed to the houses of great people, and into the streets and market places. The Pharpar flows through their gardens and plantations. It is a place carrying on trade with all countries. Here is a mosque of the Arabs called the Gami of Damascus; there is no building like it in the whole world, and they say that it was a palace of Ben Hadad. Here is a wall of crystal glass of magic workmanship, with apertures according to the days of the year, and as the sun's rays enter each of them in daily succession the hours of the day can be told by a graduated dial. In the palace are chambers built of gold and glass, and if the people walk around the wall is between them. And there are columns overlaid with gold and silver, and columns of marble of all colours … Three thousand Jews abide in this city, and amongst them are learned and rich men.
Baghdad, the great city and royal residence of the Caliph Emir al Muminin al Abbassi of the family of Mohammed. He is at the head of the Mohammedan religion, and all the kings of Islam obey him; he occupies a similar position to that held by the Pope over Christians.…
There the great king, Al Abbassi the Caliph (Hafiz) holds his court, and he is kind unto Israel, and many belonging to the people of Israel are his attendants; he knows all languages, and is well versed in the law of Israel. He reads and writes the holy language (Hebrew). He will not partake of anything unless he has earned it by the work of his own hands.… He is truthful and trusty, speaking peace to all men.
Within the domains of the palace of the Caliph there are great buildings of marble and columns of silver and gold, and carvings upon rare stones are fixed in the walls. In the Caliph's palace are great riches, and towers filled with gold, silken garments, and all precious stones.… [During the parade of Ramadan] He is accompanied by all the nobles of Islam dressed in fine garments and riding horses, the princes of Arabia, the princes of Togarma and Daylam (Gilan), and the princes of Persia, Media and Ghuzz, and the princes of the land of Tibet, which is three months' journey distant,and westward of which lies the land of Samarkand.… Along the road the walls are adorned with silk and purple, and the inhabitants receive him with all kinds of song and exultation, and they dance before the great king who is styled Caliph.…
He built, on the other side of the river, on the banks of an arm of the Euphrates which borders the city, a hospital consisting of blocks of houses and hospices for the sick poor who come to be healed. Here there are about sixty physicians' stores which provided from the Caliph's house with drugs and whatever else may be required. Every sick man who comes is maintained at the Caliph's expense and is medically treated. Here is a building called Dar-al-Maristan, where they keep charge of the demented people who have become insane in the towns through the great heat in the summer, and they chain each of them in iron chains until their reason becomes restored to them in the winter-time. Whilst they abide there, they are provided with food from the house of the Caliph, and when their reason is restored they are dismissed and each one them goes to his house and his home. Money is given to those that have stayed in the hospices on their return to their homes.… All this the Caliph does out of charity to those that come to the city of Baghdad, whether they be sick or insane. The Caliph is a righteous man, and all his actions are good.
In Baghdad there are about 40,000 Jews, and they dwell in security, prosperity and honour under the great Caliph; and amongst them are the great sages, the heads of Academies engaged in the study of the law. In this city there are ten Academies.… In Baghdad there are 28 synagogues, situated either in the city itself or in Al-Karish on the other side of the Tigris, for the river divides the metropolis in two parts.
What happened next…
Jews continued to be persecuted in Europe during the time of the Crusades. With the Second Crusade in 1147, the Jewish people of Germany were once again set upon by Crusader forces before they left for the Holy Land. The famous church scholar Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, who preached the Second Crusade, had to go to Germany to try to stop this persecution. Again, just before the Third Crusade, the Jews of York, England, were attacked and killed by mobs of Christians.
The legal position of the Jews in Europe continued to worsen during and after the time of the Crusades. Jews were actually expelled from, or kicked out of, certain countries: this happened in France in 1182, in England in 1290, and in Spain in 1492. While the position of the Jew in the Middle East remained stable during much of the Middle Ages, it is obvious from the Arab-Israeli conflict of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries that the two peoples and two religions have difficulty sharing the limited living space of the region.
Did you know…
- Spain was the home for great Jewish scholars at the time of the Crusades. Maimonides was one of the most famous Jewish scholars of the twelfth century, born in Cordova but forced to leave Spain when a radical Muslim group came to power.
- Benjamin of Tudela wrote of travels that took him not only to the Middle East but also, supposedly, as far as China and India. Scholars, however, believe that these sections of his travel guide were simply copied from reports of other travelers and that Mesopotamia, or modern-day Iraq, was his easternmost point of travel.
- Jewish occupations were tightly restricted in Europe. Because Jews could not own land, they were forced into commercial professions and into moneylending. As Christian doctrine, or law, looked at this occupation negatively, Jews were further criticized for taking up this job. In fact, Jews were caught in a no-win situation by such policies.
- The badges that Jews were forced to wear beginning in 1215 ultimately led to the armbands that Jews had to wear during World War II (1939–45), which made them targets in Nazi-controlled Europe.
Consider the following…
- Why do you think the Catholic Church passed anti-Jewish laws?
- In the course of his travels, Benjamin of Tudela was careful to record the size of Jewish communities throughout the Middle East. What does this tell you about the multicultural aspect of the region during the Middle Ages?
- During World War II (1939–45), it is estimated that more than six million Jews were killed by the Nazis. Explain how Europe's long tradition of anti-Semitism helped create an atmosphere that would make this possible.

I love to read about Lebkuchen. I have always loved the flavor of Lebkuchen and gingerbreads something fierce. I can start while watching a movie and eat a plate full by the time the bad guy is caught.
There is so much history behind this little cookie, bar or cake that taste similar to Gingerbread.
I can only give a few tidbits that I think you will enjoy.
How did it become so popular?
Lebkuchen or Gingerbread type cookies became popular in the old world because it is believed that ginger was a natural preservative.
Gingerbread then became popular to make into shapes to take on a hunt, journey or out to sea. So the idea spread quickly to other countries. Honey and spices were always associated with something almost sacred. A honey cake was believed to bring good luck. Soldiers sometimes would wear a honey cake into battle as a Talisman around his neck.

Nuremberg becomes the Lebkuchen Capital
is in the Franconia area of Bavaria
Lebkuchen were first baked in the city of Nuremberg, with the earliest records from the year 1395. During the Middle Ages, spice inspectors at the gates to the city checked the spices used for baking the gingerbreads which traveled as far as China. In 1643 the city of Nuremburg approved the first Lebkuchen Baker's Guild which began with 14 master gingerbread bakers who were bound by strict regulations.
Until 1867, Lebkuchen were made by hand. Automated processing started thereafter with the liberalization of Bavaria's commercial trade.However, many of Nuremburg's bakeries still produce some of their Lebkuchen specialties by hand. using traditional recipes passed down from generation to generation. The oldest gingerbread recipe from the 16th century is housed in the German National Museum in Munich. In 1996, Nuremburg gingerbread was declared a "protected geographical indication" and is authorized to use the EU stamp
In Nuremberg the Christkindle markets are very popular
Lebkuchen of all types can be found
Why at Christmas ?
Many of You had a German great -X- 300 or so were probably part of a Yulefest that sacrificed an animal as an offering to the gods that you would have an easy winter , and a good harvest. These were celebrated around this time of year, when it was cold.
Many families couldn't afford to sacrifice a needed farm animal so they would use a bread or cake shaped as an animals for a symbol. Other shapes like hearts and even people were popular also that had symbolic meaning. This is of course where our gingerbread men came from.
When Christianity came the Yulefests turned into Christmas but the festivals
were so much fun that they just kept them and turned pagan symbols into Religious symbols.
So many shapes of Lebkuchen are in animals and other symbols.
Even pictures are cut out and mounted on top of the lebkuchen.
These are Lebkuchen onto which a picture is drawn or imprinted.
Last year Karen Kinanne bought me a Lebkuchen Santa made by Pahana Lebkuchen company,
when she was in the Kristkindle market in Dresden.
Just cut out your favorite Santa and out paste it on top of the cookie.
Here is an old hand written recipe for Lebkuchen believed to be
centuries old.
click to enlarge picture
Gingerbread Houses are believed to become popular after the German authors
The Grimm brothers wrote Hansel and Gretel . However it may have been the other way around,
that someone had made Gingerbread houses and the Brother's Grimm developed a story around them.

Description: Fort Jutphaas was part of the New Holland Water Line. In the Second World War, it was a major sending and receiving station of the Deutsche Kriegsmarine, especially the submarines.
A long retractable antenna mast was used. The station played a major role in the coordination of the German submarines and Admiral Karl Dönitz was regularly here.
In 1943, the fort was abandoned because the allies found out about the important radio-station. Before departure the Germans put a large concrete block on the radiotransmitter. Until today, it is still covered.
The fort was bombed by the Allies, but this gave little damage and it was repaired after the war.
There are also some concrete blocks of a Dutch tank barrier.
