1 Keys to understanding your alarm system This section is designed to allow you to familiarize yourself with most of the security system devices that may be installed or proposed to be installed in your home or business. While this list is by no means complete, it does explain most of the most common devices and controls that are used in the installation of a security system. Definitions and Terminology Please feel free to use this reference whether you are considering a new system from Stephens Systems. or any other security system provider. All security systems are not created equal. In addition to choosing the right products from the right manufacturer, the proper installation and continual, competent support from your system company are the most important factors in designing your system and choosing the best installing company! Control Devices Control Panel This is effectively the computer or CPU of a security system. It must be programmed by your installing company to respond appropriately to signals from the alarm sensors, depending upon the "armed" state of the system, i.e., On & Off - or in alarm company terms: "Armed & Disarmed". Keypad This is the interface you use to change the state of the system to "armed or disarmed", typically by entering a specific numeric code. It also provides a display which shows you the current state of the system: on/off, alarms, power status & various trouble conditions. The display can be either a series of lights, an actual text display, or a combination of the two. Standby Battery This is typically a rechargeable battery which provides operating power for your system in the event of an electrical failure to the system. Normally it is recharged automatically as long as electrical power is available to the control panel. It also provides additional power for the operation of bells and or sirens during an actual alarm condition. Lastly and possibly most importantly, it provides a large percentage of the electrical power filtering to your control panel and detection devices, thereby increasing their reliable life span and their stability during momentary electrical power fluctuations.
2 Siren This is a VERY loud sounding device which sounds during an alarm condition. Typically, they will generate different sounds to allow you to distinguish between a burglary alarm and a fire alarm. Many sirens contain integral "siren drivers" (see below). A quality system will have at least two sirens, one each inside & outside of your premises, thereby alerting you, your neighbors, any passersby, and the would-be burglar of the alarm. Siren Driver This is either a separate or built in component of the control panel which generates the different tones which are emitted by the sirens. Several versions are available which can produce separate tones, broken tones or actual voice messages in the event of an alarm, i.e., fire or burglary. Power supply This is normally integrated with the Control Panel, however some systems may contain an auxiliary power supply to provide power to a large number of detection devices. All auxiliary power supplies should contain an additional standby battery and an additional plug in transformer. Zone expander This is an add on device to the control panel which allows a further division of the detection devices into additional "zones" (see below). Different manufacturers refer to these by their own terms, and each manufacturer provides different numbers of zone capacities on their zone expanders, but they all do the same thing. Several systems allow zone expanders to be remotely located from the control panel allowing for simpler, more straightforward system wiring; Example, all windows in the bedroom area can be wired to a zone expander in a bedroom closet, rather than to the control panel location in the utility room. Communication Devices Digital Dialer Also known as "digital communicator": This is typically an integral part of the Control Panel which allows the transmission of alarm signals from your premises to the alarm company central monitoring station. Some older systems and some commercial fire alarm systems utilize separate digital dialers which are not integrated with the "Control Panel". It is effectively a modem which contacts the alarm company's modem in the event of an alarm or other supervisory conditions. It utilizes an existing telephone line at your location to accomplish this and is completely transparent to the phone or phone system unless a communication event occurs. **Not a reliable or recommended method of communication in today s world, due to constant changes in telephone service providers and the frequency of phone line cuts by burglars.
3 Cellular Transmitter This is a device which allows for alarm signals to reach the central monitoring station in the event of a telephone line failure or purposeful tampering with the telephone lines by a burglar. Cellular transmitters today can provide communication to the monitoring station inbound communication for diagnostics & programming changes & also allow remote control of your system from your cell phone. They also allow extremely fast communication for alarm signals typically less than 6 seconds for an integrated cellular transmitter. Slave units which can be added to older alarm control panels are available but do not provide the robust communication available with integrated units. ** Strongly preferred primary communication method today due to relatively low cost, difficulty in defeating communication and speed of alarm transmissions. Network Transmitter Similar to Cellular transmitters in speed & functionality. Network transmitters also allow for exceptionally fast alarm transmission & remote diagnostics & programming. The primary disadvantage is that internet connections are typically supplied via cable TV or telephone DSL lines which are easily cut. Preferred method is to use Network as primary method, with Cellular as a backup method. Since Network communication is extremely fast, a well designed control can automatically switch to cellular within a couple of seconds if the network is down. Detection Devices Door & Window contact (Also referred to as "switches") These are typically magnetically activated switches consisting of two components - the actual electrical switch and a matching magnet. They can be recessed into door& window frames with the matching magnet placed in an adjoining location on the movable part of the door or window, but are often surface mounted depending upon the type of door or window and whether or not the system is installed during or after construction. Other types of contacts are available and are sometimes used if more practical for the application - these are usually mechanical type switches which are physically depressed by the door or window when it is closed. Glass Breakage Detectors Glass-breakage detectors There are several types of glass breakage detectors available: "Acoustic detectors", "shock detectors", and "piezo-electric vibration detectors". Each of which have their specific advantages & disadvantages. An older method which is no longer used, but may still be active on older systems is "Window Foil" - this is the small strip of lead or gold foil applied directly to the glass approximately 4" inside the window frame - this worked
4 by literally tearing into & breaking the electrical connection when the glass was broken. This was a very effective method in its day, but was extremely maintenance prone. Acoustic Glass-breakage Detectors These are the most commonly used method for detecting glass breakage today. They detect glass breakage by literally listening for the sounds generated by breaking glass. Modern units are very stable and are not normally activated by extraneous sounds. Advantages: Very accurate when properly installed & adjusted, Low cost per unit and a single unit can detect an entire room full of windows, Small attractive units which can be placed on a wall or ceiling near the glass they are detecting / Disadvantages: Can occasionally be activated by sounds within the home or office they protect. Shock detectors These are rarely used, but can be very effective in certain applications and are still manufactured. They are placed on the window or door frame immediately next to the glass they are protecting and work by detecting the vibrations which carry to the frame when the glass is initially impacted. They normally require a separate processor to distinguish between normal and attack types of vibrations. Advantages: Very accurate when properly installed & adjusted, not affected by noises inside or outside of the property being protected. / Disadvantages: Can be activated by strong gusting winds and thunder, Very high installation costs due to high number of units required and labor to install. Piezo-electric vibration detector These are also rarely used and while very common at one time, are rarely used by alarm companies today. They are typically small round devices placed directly on the glass being detected and work by sensing the high frequency vibration generated when the glass actually breaks. Advantages: will detect glass breakage if properly installed & adjusted. / Disadvantages: Not attractive on your windows, high cost due to the requirement of at least one device per window pane & high installation labor costs, Tend to become unglued from the window after a few years. Motion Detectors Motion detectors There are two commonly available types of "motion detectors" available today: "Passive infrared detectors", "Microwave motion detectors", and combinations of the two. Passive infrared detectors are by far the most common device used for detecting motion within a building. They work by detecting changes in the infrared light level within their field of view. While the process can be somewhat hard to explain, it is best compared to the old infrared lights we use to see at restaurants over the hamburgers; while the light energy itself is not hot, when it is absorbed by the burgers - it converts to heat energy. The infrared motion detector works
5 the same way - all living bodies emit infrared light and through the lens of the detector, this light is focused onto a "thermo-electric" sensor which detects the change in temperature. (Infrared light is also what enables you to "feel" a person silently sneaking up behind you As much as I hate to spoil the magic it s actually just the back of your neck heating up!) Most infrared detectors use at least two different thermoelectric sensors to allow them to distinguish between a person moving in the area and the room just warming up. Advantages: Low cost per unit, wide ranges of coverage patterns available with different units or lens assemblies (typically 25' to 200' width & depth of effective range), Effective for detecting unusual methods of entry, i.e. attic accesses, roof hatches, etc., also effective for detecting persons who hide in businesses until after closing, good at ignoring moving inanimate objects, i.e. ceiling fans, falling items, etc.. Disadvantages: Detect good guys as well as bad - so can't be turned on while an authorized person is in the field of view, Can be activated by very bright lights, i.e. headlights - halogen flashlights - nearby flashes from lightning, etc. Microwave motion detectors The second most common method of detecting motion within a protected area. They detect motion by emitting a very low powered stream of microwave energy which is reflected back to the detector by nonmoving objects at the same frequency as was emitted and by a slightly higher or lower frequency by a moving object or person. The change in frequency of the energy that is reflected back to the detector is known as the "Doppler Shift". This is the same as when a car is approaching you while sounding its horn - as it approaches, the sound is at a higher pitch than it would be when standing still & as it passes the sound is at a lower pitch. While microwaves are not heard, the same law applies - the frequency changes when a person moves towards or away from the detector. Advantages: can actually be placed behind a wall or ceiling and still detect movement in the area, relatively low cost per unit, highly adjustable effective ranges, Effective for detecting unusual methods of entry, i.e. attic accesses, roof hatches, etc., also effective for detecting persons who hide in businesses until after closing. Disadvantages: Can be activated by inanimate moving objects, i.e. ceiling fans, water moving in plastic pipes, objects outside of the protected area. Range can be affected by humidity levels. Dual-Tec motion detectors They are rapidly becoming the method of choice by many alarm companies. They offer the advantages of both passive infrared & microwave motion detectors in a single unit. High detection ratio with very few of the accidental or false alarm problems. Each of the detection methods must detect motion simultaneously in order to activate an alarm. Example - The microwave detects motion, which is actually a large truck moving just outside the protected building - since the passive infrared detector does not normally detect inanimate objects, no alarm will occur.

Huskisson Accommodation Huskisson or "Husky" as it's colloquially known is the hub for some of the most popular attractions on Jervis Bay. Whale and Dolphin watching cruises on pristine Jervis Bay depart most days weather permitting, to watch the Dolphins and Southern Wright and Humpback whales perform their acrobatic displays and are an awe-inspiring thrill to watch. Situated in the midst of a Marine National Park, Huskisson takes full advantage of the Coastal views out to Point Perpendicular, the sun, surf and sea atmosphere.
The relaxed style of "husky" is further enhanced by many Cafes, Restaurants, Clubs and Pubs with the weary traveller having the choice of numerous side-walk Cafes to simply take time out and enjoy the casual sea side experience. For the more energetic or when you have had time to unwind there are cycleway along the beaches, kayak, canoe and bicycle hire, Bush walks through nearby National parks or simply stroll along the unspoilt white sand beaches at sunset. A meal of fresh local seafood eaten on the wharf at sunset is a must to enjoy.

Nine months after the sudden death of a parent, grief reactions of most children were relatively low, and they continued to fade with time, but for some 40% that was not the case, researchers found.
For 31% grief was still severe at nine months and in another 10% it remained intense nearly three years after the parent's death, according to Nadine Melhem, PhD, of the University of Pittsburgh, and colleagues.
In turn, prolonged grief appeared to be a significant predictor of new-onset, full-blown depression as well as functional impairment involving school performance, peer relations, and other activities important for children and adolescents, they reported in the September issue of Archives of General Psychiatry.
Persistent grief in the surviving parent was also associated with the risk for incident depression in the bereaved child, the researchers found.
"Adaptations of successful adult treatment approaches to the treatment of prolonged grief in children and adolescents may require interventions that are focused on the family rather than on the individual," Melhem and colleagues wrote.
They noted that death of a parent affects about 5% of American children and teens and is "one of the most stressful life events" for this age group.
The study focused on 182 children, 7 to 18 years old who had lost a parent without warning. They were interviewed at several points afterward, starting at a mean of 8.5 months (SD 3.7) after the parent's death. Subsequent interviews were conducted about one and two years later. Surviving parents were interviewed as well.
Grief reactions were assessed with a version of the Inventory of Complicated Grief adapted for children. Other psychometric instruments were used as well, evaluating depression, suicidality, post-traumatic stress, and other states.
Melhem and colleagues found that participants could be divided into three groups based on the pattern of their grief responses over time.
One group, which included 107 of the children and teens, had grief scores in the lower half at the first interview which then declined significantly by the second interview and remained low to the final evaluation.
The second group comprised 56 participants. They had initial grief scores at the 75th percentile, falling steadily through the third interview.
In the third group, with 19 participants, grief scores at nine months were also relatively high; the scores showed no significant decline at subsequent assessments.
Participant characteristics that were associated with classification into the latter two groups versus the first included accident as the parent's cause of death (as opposed to suicide or sudden illness) and higher self-reported depression at the nine-month interview.
Also, group three, relative to the other two groups, was marked by a higher prevalence of previous depression, new-onset PTSD, and functional impairment at nine months.
Incident depression was also more common in groups two and three -- affecting half of participants in both groups by the third interview, compared with about 25% in group one (P<0.05).
In all three groups, most of those who developed depression did so within the first month of the parent's death.
"Future studies are needed to examine the long-term mental health and developmental outcomes in bereaved children and adolescents," Melhem and colleagues concluded.
Such studies should also seek "to examine the etiologic and biological pathways by which prolonged grief exerts its effects, and to develop interventions to promote relief from grief" in children and adolescents after the death of a parent, they added.
The researchers cautioned that the study had several limitations, including the fact that the recruitment methods, which included newspaper ads, could have led to a nonrepresentative sample.
Children of parents killed in homicides or whose deaths were anticipated were excluded, and the study population was mostly white, potentially limiting generalizability.
The study was supported by the National Institute of Mental Health and the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.
Study authors declared they had no relevant financial interests.

Album Review
Cranford Hollow's latest album
Cranford Hollow - Color/Sound/Renew/Revive
Cranford Hollow is one of those bands who are uniquely American in every way. The band originally began life in 2011 as a tradition-minded quartet who revamped classic country and bluegrass sounds into a vibrant modern context, but the band gradually shifted direction over the course of five albums and innumerable live appearances into something much more uniquely their own. Perhaps it was the addition of lead guitarist Yannie Revnecke that propelled them from more retro minded fare towards a broad-based sound that never forsakes the band's roots. It is, however, unlikely that alone. Instead, Cranford Hollow's metamorphosis from their aforementioned beginnings into what they are on the latest album Color/Sound/Renew/Revive is the probable result of a band simply developing over time, exploring new textures, and challenging themselves with distinctly different fare than they have on preceding works. The eight songs on Color/Sound/Renew/Revive work because they are well-written, but even well written songs fall flat thanks to the lack of commitment from the performers involved. There's no lack of commitment here. Cranford Hollow means it.
The languid tempo of "Songfield" should never be mistaken for a lack of urgency. There's a subtle undercurrent of various emotions lending this song impetus – much of the electric guitar work and underlying acoustic guitar playing seems tense, crackling with unnamed longing. The band's chief vocalist and songwriter, John Cranford, delivers an engaging performance full of grit and guile. It's also infused with a sharp poetic edge thanks to his talents as a wordsmith – moreover, it's a disciplined talent and there's not a single extraneous word used to make the song's point. "Long Shadows" doesn't ramp up the tempo in a noticeable way, but Cranford Hollow show off their penchant for weaving a variety of tempos together into a coherent whole. Eric Reid's fiddle playing is one of the driving forces behind this track and the band keys much of their focus based on what he's doing. The guitar work in this song might be mistaken for ornamental, but it's much more than that. Cranford Hollow isn't the sort of band who layer tracks with unnecessary parts and the six string songs added here fuel the song with surfeit of color.
"Bury It Down" foregoes the band's electric edge, for the most part, in favor an acoustic approach thankfully maintaining the same musical intensity. There's some steel guitar creeping into the track during its second half and fills the arrangement with just the ghostly echoes required by a song so titled. The band's vocal harmonies are another key component of their success. "And Your, Brutis" opens with some surprising, nearly prog rock, keyboard and synth explorations before settling into a highly individualistic groove. Lead guitarist Yannie Revnecke stands out here with his unique balancing act between guitar heroics and artful restraint. Some of the band's wont for risk taking comes out on the album's penultimate cut "Dark Turns" and the rare hybridization of traditional music with a very modern point of view emerges more strongly from this instrumental than any other on the album thus far. Color/Sound/Renew/Revive represents a quantum leap forward for the band's songwriting and presentation, but it is also a mightily entertaining work and deeply rewarding.

In the last few months, I have had a number of conversations with people who have found my previous blog posts about Don Philips. Philips, it seems, along with Steve Mera, has been causing a fair bit of concern states side with their claims and research ethics.
You may have watched my video on Dowsing after it seemed to be claimed that Philips could psychically influence dowsing rods being held by Mera.
Back in 2014, I wrote a blog post called 'Don Philips plays the science game. Loses.' It looked at a newspaper report that claimed scientists had proven Philips was able to capture voices of the dead on tape. The report said that Steve Mera has been able to discount that the recordings are pareidolia. He is quoted as saying
In the article, he was quoted as saying that they had played Don's recording to three people and they 'picked out the same name. With pareidolia, they should all hear different words."
In response to my criticisms of this Steve Mera wrote that he was 'still going through all the paperwork, and lots more tests to carry out…' and Don Philips similarly wrote 'when the current project has ended experiments replicated, and data collated all information will be freely available.'
Yeah… still waiting on that.
Colour me surprised then when Doubtful News covered some more recent research by Mera and Philips under the name of The Scientific Establishment of Parapsychology [SEP] concerning an allegedly haunted house. Sharon Hill reports:
'SEP report was horrible – full of unreadable graphs, following poor methodology, and bloated with pseudoscientific babble. Kenny [Biddle] had the report run through a software program commonly used to detect plagiarism and discovered that about 38% of the text was verbatim from other, unattributed sources. I wrote to the lead author, Steve Mera, with the plagiarism charge. He said that the report was not final, it was just a draft, and that Linder should not have released it. The report is dramatically stamped "cleared for release" and contains no indication that it is a draft or that the unattributed portions would be fixed or cited.'
It is my opinion that Philips and Mera use the "incomplete research" excuse time and time again to wiggle out of having to be held responsible for their bad science and questionable research ethics.
Hill concludes in the Doubtful News piece that '[Fact checking] and skeptical activism works to scale back inaccurate "facts", unethical and unprofessional actions, and maybe even squash hoaxes or frauds. If we didn't bust the fakers, we'd probably be overrun by them.'
There isn't much I can add to that conclusion except to that that Don Philips and Steve Mera are still playing the science game and still losing.

There are many people who helped me put this project together and whom I would like to thank. I am most indebted to the NAACP and the National Urban League for their permission to reprint material from The Crisis and Opportunity. Without their generous support, I would not have been able to proceed. I would also like to thank them for persevering throughout the bulk of the twentieth century with their efforts to bring African American issues to the fore with their magazines and with courageous legal and journalistic actions challenging segregation and racism. Both organizations have been important as well in fostering the arts through publishing black writers who would otherwise not have found a national venue. African American literature would be much the poorer without their vision and commitment.
Scholars of African American women's literature and the history of World War II have been instrumental in laying the groundwork for this project. Among the most central to my wartime research for this volume have been Jacqueline Jones, Paula Giddings, Gretchen Lemke-Santangelo, Darlene Clark Hine, Ruth Milkman, Sherna Gluck, Susan Hartmann, Sonya Michel, Susan Schweik, Neil Wynn, and Karen Anderson (whose friendship over the years has helped sustain me as well). I am indebted to the recovery work of Lorraine Roses, Ruth Randolph, Elizabeth Ammons, Mary Helen Washington, Ann Allen Shockley, Gloria Hull, Claudia Tate, Hazel Carby, and Erlene Stetson, who have edited important anthologies of black women's writings in the early twentieth century. Deborah McDowell, Barbara Christian, Cheryl Wall, Amaritjit Singh, Nathan Huggins, Arnold Rampersad, David Levering Lewis, Henry Louis Gates, Jr., and others have helped lay the foundation for such scholarship. They have inspired my own recovery work in this important medium. Ronald and Abby Arthur Johnson made it possible for me to contextualize the wartime fiction included here, as well as to find out important information about Negro Story, in their groundbreaking analysis of the literary politics in these magazines. Similarly, Stanley Nelson's powerful new film on the black press gave me a sense of the key role played by African American journalists in their communities. A crucial reference work in this regard was Walter Daniel's exhaustive compilation of circulation figures, editorial history, and publication dates for every African American journal ever created in Black Journals of the United States. Finally, the research of Thomas Cripps and Donald Bogle

Post subject: Intezaam e Taleem Project (Karachi)
Please find attached an email from Mueen Batlay, who is planning a relatively large scale project in Karachi. No Chapter has adopted this project for consideration as yet so feel free to consider it. Please let me know if you require Mueen's email address.
It was good talking to you yesterday. As we agreed on the phone, I am laying out my request for consideration of the Executive Committee of the Association for the Development of Pakistan.
First, for the benefit of the committee, a quick introduction of myself: My name is Mueen Batlay. I presently work as an Education Policy Specialist in the Executive Office of the Mayor of Washington DC on developing legislation, managing programs and conducting research on DC Public Schools and Public Charter Schools. My experience includes 2 years of investment banking, 8 years of working at the World Bank on privatization and government bond market development, and three years of teaching grades 9-12 at a DC Public High School. I hold a Master of Public Policy from the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University, and am an advanced candidate for PhD in Educational Policy at the University of Maryland at College Park.
I have encountered your organization through my work with Relief Shelter Drive. I helped organize a fund-raiser In Washington DC through which we raised about $3,000, which we channelled through your organization to RST. I have worked with Shenaaz at RST.
On August 9, 2006, I am Inshallah moving back to Pakistan. I hope to start an NGO there, named Intezaam e Taleem (IET), to focus on bulding capacity in district governments in Sindh to better manage government schools.
We all know that the future of Pakistan lies in vastly improving the quality of education offered in Pakistan's schools. Although private schools have grown sharply over the past 15 years, 65% of Pakistan's students remain enrolled in dysfunctional government schools. In rural Sindh, 95% of enrollment is government schools. I am determined to improve the administration of government schools in Sindh. The way forward shown by NGOs through their efforts in school reform and constructing school systems must be leveraged one step up to bring about reform and effectiveness of the management of government schools by district governments.
I would like IET to approach this problem by discovering indigenous methods that have worked in districts. Based on a district government's drive, needs, willingness to collaborate and appropriate stage of development, one district will be identified to undertake a capacity building pilot project. The capacity building plan will be jointly developed and implemented in collaboration with the district government. Exactly what is done and how will depend on the unique circumstances and needs of the district. IET will endeavor to commence the pilot two months after its launch in Pakistan. Within four months of launch, IET will provide evidence of the effectiveness of its approach.
The core of the IET effort is a thorough analysis of the problem, and a flexible, evolving response. Innovative approaches need to be deployed to overcome age-old hurdles in government such as political interference, corruption, mismanagement as well as feudal opposition to the spread of education. This core effort depends on expertise and a full-time effort.
The first year budget for IET is approx. $60,000. Details are available in a business plan that I can be send to you upon request.
I am focusing on Sindh, becuase it needs help, and is my home province. If the winning combination of management, incentives, indigenous methods and community involvement can stem the systematic collapse of Sindh's government schools, there is hope for an economically prosperous and socially progressive Sindh in the future.
I have raised $6,000 so far through pledges. However, being able to donate the funds to a tax-exempt non-profit is critical to encourage people to donate. I request the Association for the Development of Pakistan to assist me in this matter, by receiving funds for the "Intezaam e Taleem Project", allowing donors to classify their donations as tax deductible, and then conveying these funds to Intezaam e Taleem in Pakistan. I would undertake all activities of fund-raiding myself. The only additional assistance that your organization may provide is a link from your website to the IET website (under construction).
I am happy to answer more questions and provide more information as needed. I understand that in order for your organization to agree to my request, a high threshhold of confidence would be required, and I am ready to provide whatever it takes to develop that confidence.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
I am copying this email to Amel Qudsia, who is helping me in this matter.

How To Choose The Best Football Gloves
How to choose the right football gloves is based solely in the position you want to play. Football gloves cover most every position in football. Quarterbacks have football gloves for both their throwing and non-throwing hands. Running backs have football gloves as do receivers. Football gloves are very common at most levels of the sport. Choosing the right football glove for your position is important. This article will discuss the variation of gloves and how you can choose what is right for you. Football gloves have become a common piece of equipment for many players, making the right choice all the more important.
Football is America's game. It is widely accepted as the number one sport in the country. Football programs exist from children through adulthood. Many colleges and high schools shell out good money to these programs. Equipment is expensive and purchasing the right equipment is important.:
- To choose the right football glove you need to answer one question. What position am I going to be playing? If you don't know, then hold off on purchasing football gloves until you do. Understanding where you want to play will assist you in not purchasing the wrong gloves. If money is tight and it normally is, this is a wise decision to make before you buy.
- Once you have your position then look for your gloves. Try on many styles and manufacturers. Depending on your position the look, feel and performance needs will vary. You want above all else comfort and fit. The other variables such as tackiness will matter to your position. So, try on as many as available at your local store. Once you know the fit, you can take your needs online and look for a glove that you may feel is more suitable.

I haven't written anything in about 2 years now and had resolved not to write about the tithe again but a chance encounter made me go back on that.
I have come to realise that I did not have a full understanding of the tithe and my posts did not paint the full picture. Howbeit, I now have a much better understanding.
I had often heard it mentioned that there were 3 tithes required form the Old Testament Jew but I just couldn't follow the trail in the bible. And I must admit the bible did seem to change the remit of the tithe whenever it was mentioned. But after a careful study, I now know that what I termed as different remits were actually different tithes which had different scopes.
There were 3 different tithes required from the children of Israel; the first, the second and the third tithes.
The first tithe was to be given to the Levites by the remaining 11 tribes after a heave offering had been offered. This was their means of sustenance because they were barred from doing any form of secular work. They in turn gave a tenth of what they received from the other 11 tribes to the priests. This appeared to be practised every year for 6 years within the seven year agricultural cycle (Numbers 18:21-30, Leviticus 27:30-33).
The Second tithe was collected on the first, second, fourth and fifth year of every 7 year agricultural cycle (Deuteronomy 12:11-18, 14:22-29, 26:12). This tithe was usually taken to be consumed at Jerusalem. Those who lived faraway and could not conveniently bring the agricultural produce where allowed to convert it into money. And the only caveat with this was they had to add 25% of its monetary value. They were encouraged to spend the money on anything they liked including wine and strong drink.
The third tithe or poor tithe was collected every 3 years. So in effect it was collected on the third and sixth year of every 7 year agricultural cycle (Deuteronomy 14:28, 26:12).
The seventh year was classed as the year of the Sabbath and no agricultural activity was allowed during this year. No tithes were paid either and people were free to eat everything that grew out of the ground by itself.
Ironically, those who preach and practise the tithe today do not do anything that closely resembles this. Which begs the question, 'where did they get it from?' They cannot claim they follow Abraham's example because his was completely voluntary and was not required as part of God's covenant with him. It couldn't have made him wealthy because he was already wealthy. It wasn't the reason God blessed him because we understand from scripture that God's covenant with Abraham had nothing to do with him.
The book of Malachi speaks of tithe in the plural and this refers to the 3 different tithes required from the children of Israel. This clearly belonged to the law and is definitely not binding on the New Testament church.
The tithe was not solitary but was part and parcel of the Old Testament law. It had to be practised in conjunction with all the other laws for it to be accepted. Trying to impose tithing today revives the law and brings condemnation. And one then tends to repeat the same mistake of the Galatian church, starting off in the spirit and then trying to achieve perfection by observing part of the law.

Mondelez International Inc. (NASDAQ:MDLZC) just offered $107 per share (half in cash, half in stock) in a $23 billion takeover bid of the Hershey Co. (NYSE:HSYD). Hershey's board unanimously rejected the bid Thursday saying it "provided no basis for further discussion."
So, that's that, right? Not exactly, according to some analysts. Actually, when it comes to takeover bids in general, "No," is often the first step in a move to "yes." On the other hand, the Hershey/Mondelez deal faces some significant roadblocks.
Related: THE IMPACT OF THE WAL-MART VERSUS P&G BATTLE ROYALE
A More Serious Problem
The Hershey Trust, which holds 8.4% of the company's common stock and up to 81% of its voting power (depending on who is reporting) would have to approve any sale. The trust has opposed past offers including a planned merger with Wrigley in 2002.
Meanwhile, the Pennsylvania attorney general is investigating the trust's board and several directors have already resigned. Some observers believe all this could change the board's attitude about a potential sale.
Winning Over The Trust
As part of its bid, according to a private letter reported on by The Wall Street Journal, Mondelez pledged to protect jobs, locate the merged company's global HQ in Hershey, Pa., and rename it Hershey.
Despite the significant and somewhat conciliatory offer, the Hershey Trust did not seem interested. This could be, at least in part, due to the very complicated history Mondelez has had in the food industry. The company has been linked to (and unlinked from) a number of food players including The Kraft Heinz Co. (NASDAQ:KHCC) over the years.
A Blockbuster Merger
The Mondelez/Hershey deal, if consummated, would create the world's largest candy maker by combining number 2 Mondelez with number 5 Hershey. Number one is Mars with Nestle and Ferrero 3 and 4 respectively.
Despite the fact the merger would create a new number 1, most observers do not think antitrust authorities would balk. That's because most of Mondelez' sales are outside the U.S. and most of Hershey's sales are in the United States.
Investors Will Not Be Swayed
Smelling blood – and profit – Wall Street investors drove Hershey shares up to their highest value ever - $113.46 or 17% on the day.
The thought of further consolidation in the food sector boosted closing prices for others, including General Mills Inc. (NYSE:GISC) which close up 5.10% at $71.32; Kellogg Company (NYSE:KC) up 5.26% at $81.65, and B&G Foods (NYSE:BGSC) which closed the day up 4.08% at $48.20.
Even Mondelez got in on the action, closing up almost 6% at $45.51.

Others In The Wings
If Mondelez does not prevail, some analysts believe other suitors may jump in. Nestle is one that is often thought of as a potential acquirer of Hershey. Two others include the afore-mentioned Kellogg and PepsiCo Inc, (NYSE:PEPC) which closed up 2.73% Thursday at $105.94.
CNBC's Jim Cramer echoed much of this sentiment Thursday adding that "To grow, members of the food group must devour each other." Succinct even partly graphic, but sentiment shared by many on Wall Street.

Orland Park to Consider Greenlighting Video Gambling
The first public meeting of Orland Park on video gambling took place, bringing into light various issues related to the question whether or not video gambling should be permitted in the village. Other major theme which has been discussed over the meeting was the competitiveness of small businesses in the region as well as the social costs and effects of gambling.
Reportedly, about 200 people attended Orland Park's public meeting on video gambling, which took place at the Civic Center of the village. Both proponents and opponents of gambling were present there, with restaurant and bar owners claiming to local officials that they have been put at a competitive disadvantage due to the fact that they are not permitted to offer video gambling.
The village, situated in Cook County, has decided to re-consider the issue nearly eight years after it decided to ban video gambling following the approval given by the state of Illinois to video game terminals. At the time when the state officially permitted the devices, it also gave local municipalities the chance to decide whether they want to accept the state law or ban the machines on their own.
Two other public forums aimed to discuss possible video gambling permission in Orland Park are planned for December 11th and January 8th.Orland Park to Consider Several VGT-Related Issues
Now, eight years after the Orland Park village has made the decision to ban video gambling, local business owners backed the idea, saying that the permission of the machines was not a social, but a business issue. According to the owner of Paddy B's Pub, Tim McCarthy, the ban on video gambling terminals made local residents spend money outside the village, which hurt the revenue stream in the village.
His opinion was also backed by Michale Halleran, Orland Bowl's owner, who also supported video gambling and reminded that competing bowling alleys in nearby suburbs which have not banned video gambling do not face such issues.
Of course, video gambling had opponents as well. People who were skeptical about the permission of video gambling shared their concerns that the machines could turn out to be very tempting to local residents suffering from gambling addictions. Some of them also offered a referendum to be made in order for a decision to be made.
As reported by the Chicago Tribune, Orland Park could get annual tax revenue of over $460,000 every year in case it gives the green light to video game terminals. The expected revenue is based on a total of 150 terminals operating in the village as well as on a $5,000 yearly license fee.
A proposal was made for an authoritative order under which businesses that offer video game terminals would be required to pay annual fee estimated to $1,000 per a machine. At present times, a maximum of five terminals per establishment is permitted under state laws. A $2,500 initial application fee is also to be applied to businesses who would like to be granted with a video game terminals operating license. Under the proposed ordinance, an annual license renewal fee of $1,000 is to be imposed on VGT operators, too.
Also, under the proposed measures, video gambling would be restricted to businesses that own a Class A liquor license and have been operating in Orland Park for at least 18 straight months. According to the results of a recent survey, currently there are 67 Class A liquor license holders in the village, with 23 of them saying they were interested in offering VGT to their customers.

By published 2013
Sigmund Freud explored the human mind more thoroughly than any other who became before him.
His contributions to psychology are vast. Freud was one of the most influential people of the twentieth century and his enduring legacy has influenced not only psychology, but art, literature and even the way people bring up their children.
Freud's lexicon has become embedded within the vocabulary of western society. Words he introduced through his theories are now used by everyday people, such as anal (personality), libido, denial, repression, cathartic, Freudian slip, and neurotic.
Freud believed that when we explain our own behaviour to ourselves or others (conscious mental activity) we rarely give a true account of our motivation. This is not because we are deliberately lying. Whilst human beings are great deceivers of others, they are even more adept at self-deception. Our rationalizations of our conduct are therefore disguising the real reasons. Freud's life work was dominated by his attempts to find ways of penetrating this often subtle and elaborate camouflage that obscures the hidden structure and processes of personality.
Freud was the founding father of psychoanalysis, a method for treating mental illness and also a theory which explains human behavior.
Psychoanalysis is often known as the talking cure. Typically Freud would encourage his patients to talk freely (on his famous couch) regarding their symptoms, and to describe exactly what was on their mind.
The Case of Anna O
The case of Anna O (real name Bertha Pappenheim) marked a turning point in the career of a young Viennese neuropathologist by the name of Sigmund Freud. It even went on to influence the future direction of psychology as a whole.
Anna O. suffered from hysteria, a condition in which the patient exhibits physical symptoms (e.g. paralysis, convulsions, hallucinations, loss of speech) without an apparent physical cause. Her doctor Josef Breuer succeeded in treating Anna by helping her to recall forgotten memories of traumatic events. During discussions with her it became apparent that she had developed a fear of drinking, when a dog she hated drank from her glass. Her other symptoms originated when caring for her sick father. She would not express her anxiety for her his illness but did express it later, during psychoanalysis. As soon as she had the opportunity to make these unconscious thoughts conscious her paralysis disappeared.
Breuer discussed the case with his friend Freud. Out of these discussions came the germ of an idea that Freud was to pursue for the rest of his life. In Studies in Hysteria (1895) Freud proposed that physical symptoms are often the surface manifestations of deeply repressed conflicts. However, Freud was not just advancing an explanation of a particular illness. Implicitly he was proposing a revolutionary new theory of the human psyche itself.
This theory emerged "bit by bit" as a result of Freud's clinical investigations and it led him to propose that there were at least three levels of the mind.
The Unconscious Mind
Freud (1900, 1905) developed a topographical model of the mind, whereby he described the features of the mind's structure and function. Freud used the analogy of an iceberg to describe the three levels of the mind.
On the surface is consciousness, which consists of those thoughts that are the focus of our attention now, and this is seen as the tip of the iceberg. The preconscious consists of all which can be retrieved from memory. The third and most significant region is the unconscious. Here lie the processes that are the real cause of most behaviour. Like an iceberg, the most important part of the mind is the part you cannot see.
The unconscious mind acts as a repository, a 'cauldron' of primitive wishes and impulse kept at bay and mediated by the preconscious area. For example, Freud (1915) found that some events and desires were often too frightening or painful for his patients to acknowledge, and believed such information was locked away in the unconscious mind. This can happen through the process of repression.
Sigmund Freud emphasized the importance of the unconscious mind, and a primary assumption of Freudian theory is that the unconscious mind governs behavior to a greater degree than people suspect. Indeed, the goal of psychoanalysis is to make the unconscious conscious.
The Psyche
Freud (1923) later developed a more structural model of the mind comprising the entities id, ego and superego (what Freud called "the psychic apparatus"). These are not physical areas within the brain, but rather hypothetical conceptualizations of important mental functions.
Freud assumed the id operated at an unconscious level according to the pleasure principle (gratification from satisfying basic instincts). The id comprises two kinds of biological instincts (or drives) which Freud called Eros and Thanatos.
Eros, or life instinct, helps the individual to survive; it directs life-sustaining activities such as respiration, eating and sex (Freud, 1925). The energy created by the life instincts is known as libido.
In contrast, Thanatos or death instinct, is viewed as a set of destructive forces present in all human beings (Freud, 1920). When this energy is directed outward onto others, it is expressed as aggression and violence. Freud believed that Eros is stronger than Thanatos, thus enabling people to survive rather than self-destruct.
The ego develops from the id during infancy. The ego's goal is to satisfy the demands of the id in a safe a socially acceptable way. In contrast to the id the ego follows the reality principle as it operates in both the conscious and unconscious mind.
The superego develops during early childhood (when the child identifies with the same sex parent) and is responsible for ensuring moral standards are followed. The superego operates on the morality principle and motivates us to behave in a socially responsible and acceptable manner.
The basic dilemma of all human existence is that each element of the psychic apparatus makes demands upon us that are incompatible with the other two. Inner conflict is inevitable.
For example, the superego can make a person feel guilty if rules are not followed. When there is conflict between the goals of the id and superego, the ego must act as a referee and mediate this conflict. The ego can deploy various defense mechanisms (Freud, 1894, 1896) to prevent it from becoming overwhelmed by anxiety.
Psychosexual Stages
In the highly repressive "Victorian" society in which Freud lived and worked women, in particular, were forced to repress their sexual needs. In many cases the result was some form of neurotic illness.
Freud sought to understand the nature and variety of these illnesses by retracing the sexual history of his patients. This was not primarily an investigation of sexual experiences as such. Far more important were the patient's wishes and desires, their experience of love, hate, shame, guilt and fear – and how they handled these powerful emotions.
It was this that led to the most controversial part of Freud's work – his theory of psychosexual development and of the Oedipus complex
Freud believed that children are born with a libido – a sexual (pleasure) urge. There are a number of stages of childhood, during which the child seeks pleasure from a different 'object'.
To be psychologically healthy, we must successfully complete each stage. Mental abnormality can occur if a stage is not completed successfully and the person becomes 'fixated' in a particular stage. This particular theory shows how adult personality is determined by childhood experiences.

See Who's Playing Norman Bates in the New 'Psycho' TV Series
We've been seeing a slew of film-centric stories hit the small screen lately. Thomas Harris' screen-adapted tales Hannibal and Silence of the Lambs are being reworked for an NBC production; HBO's The Girl tells the story of the tumultuous, obsessive relationship Alfred Hitchcock had with starlet Tippi Hedren; and Bravo will be turning 1980's cult classic Heathers into a series. Those are just a few of the film-to-TV projects currently underway, but now Deadline brings news about A&E's Psycho prequel series, Bates Motel. The show is set to examine the twisted, morbid relationship that series killer Norman Bates had with his mother, Norma. We've known for a few weeks that Safe House star Vera Farmiga will be playing Norman's cruel mama, but A&E has finally found their stunted slasher.
Freddie Highmore, who played the titular kindhearted kid with big dreams in Tim Burton's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, will be transforming into the cross-dressing man-child with mommy issues for the series. It's a dramatic switch from the please-may-I-have-more-porridge child he used to be, but we're excited to see how the English actor pulls it off. He has a certain disheveled slightness that should work in his favor.
If you haven't seen Psycho (and you really need to, so go watch it immediately), guard your eyes for a moment while we remind you that after Normie's father died, he grew uncomfortably close to mom. Eventually she met a new man, but Normie's wounded psyche just couldn't handle it. He murdered his mother and her lover during a jealous rage. After the grisly deed was done, he felt guilty and resurrected mum's corpse, taking on her personality by imitating her voice, dress and demeanor.
Let us know if you think Highmore is a great fit for the fractured, homicidal caretaker of the Bates Motel below.
