From The Ashes
Disclaimer: If I owned Harry Potter or anything attached to it, I wouldn't be writing fan fiction would I? So being that I am writing fan fiction, that means I don't own it. I know it, you now know it, and J.K. knows it (as she has all the paychecks) so don't sue me. Please. On with the story….
most things are cannon except Fred's not dead.
Chapter 1: Revelation…..
The sun streamed through the bright yellow curtains in Ginny's room. Like the future, the day was full of promise. It couldn't have been later than six or six thirty am, but Hermione wouldn't have stayed in bed for all the galleons in Gringotts. Life was starting to make sense again, Thanks to the defeat of Voldemort a month and a half prior, she was well on her way to the life she wanted. She and Ron were finally together, something she'd been after for years and she was going back to school to complete her seventh year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. What could be better?
The new Minister of Magic, Kingsley Schaklebolt, who was brilliant in her opinion, had decided that the last year really couldn't be considered as a fitting school year so they were redoing it. Everything would be the same, except the new first year class would be in with the old first year class. No big deal. All was right in her world.
Needless to say, there was a definite bounce in her step as she went to get ready for the day. Getting bathed and dressed took her almost no time at all, as she had better things to do than worry about the latest trends in clothes and such. Some jeans, a nice short sleeved shirt and some flip flops, were all she needed. She tried to brush her hair out, but there really was no hope for it. After putting her bushy hair in a high ponytail, she went down stairs to see what else this day could bring.
"Percy wh-wh-what is this all about? And why couldn't it wait for a decent hour?" Fred asked while unsuccessfully trying to stifle a yawn.
"I'll tell you, as soon as Hermione gets down here. It's important, and I only want to tell it once." You could just make out the dark circles Percy had under his eyes.
Walking into the kitchen Hermione was surprised to find that most everyone was awake. Mr. and Mrs. Weasley were both morning people, so that wasn't so surprising. But Harry, who was also visiting, and Ron rarely got up before noon if they could help it. Since Harry was there, it was no surprise that Ginny, who usually slept in, was up too. Fred and George must have decided to visit along with Percy and Charlie; but it was rather early for a social call and they all looked half asleep and confused.
"When I went up to get her, she was in the shower, but she should be done by now. I'll go check again." Ginny made to get up from where she was sitting beside a harassed looking Harry.
"It's okay Gin, I'm here. What's going on?"
As she joined the group at the table, Percy launched into what could be considered the most awkward and life changing conversation of his entire career. "Well, it's a Ministry matter that I thought I would give you a heads up on so you could prepare yourselves…" He took a deep breath and continued, "The Ministry has been in an uproar since Harry defeated He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. It's almost the exact opposite of war times, as dad can tell you…" Mr. Weasley, looking grave, nodded and Percy continued.
"Now the purebloods are the one's being attacked and it's getting worse. Yesterday Aldair Radbert was killed."
Gasps and murmurs could be heard from the three eldest Weasley's.
"He lived in Scotland and was part of an old family with some distant ties to Morgana's blood line. He was very prominent, very rich, and most importantly not at all involved in the Dark War. His death was shocking, to say the least. The Ministry is facing a civil war. The pureblood families are threatening to withdraw all their financial support… and that's the last thing we need. So, last night, the Ministry held and emergency meeting of the Wizenagamot. It lasted until four this morning. Now, from here on out, everything I tell you is confidential, until the Ministry releases it, which should be in a day or two." When they all nodded he continued.
"There were a couple of minor ideas thrown out that will be implemented, things like a word trace…"
"You mean like the one they put on the Voldemort's name, and underage wizards?" That little bit of trickery had caused Harry too much trouble for him to forget it easily.
"Yeah, that's actually where we got the idea from. We'll, of course, put a trace on certain words that could prelude Muggleborn/Pureblood violence, but it's too imprecise to rely on completely. We needed something that would keep both sides in check."
"Good luck with that, It's about time some of those uppity purebloods had to dish in a little of what they dish out." Ron snorted, as he picked up a piece of toast that Mrs. Weasley sat on the table.
"Ronald, in case you have forgotten, you're a pureblood." Hermione looked at him, not at all shocked that he wouldn't count himself as a pureblood.
"Yeah, but everyone knows I don't support that blood rubbish; I mean geez, I'm dating you. After talking to you for about five minutes no one would be able to say muggle-borns are anything but brilliant." He beamed to himself as Hermione kissed him on the cheek.
"That's very sweet Ron, but it won't matter. Aldair Radbert was a well known pacifist. He didn't participate in any type of violence towards anyone."
"Hermione's right,it was common knowledge that he barely even carried a wand, and when he did it was only so he could apparate. He was an easy target, and they used it."
"I read somewhere that they could limit that types of magic a wand could do. Why not do that to everyone's; just until all the tempers cool." Ginny looked expectantly between her father and elder brother. It was a fairly easy answer to the problem.
"NO!!" Ron, Fred and Charlie were completely against it. It was sacrilege; it was profane; it just wasn't natural. They might as well walk around defenseless saying 'kill me please.'
"Calm down!" Percy looked rather peeved at his brothers' lack of willingness to help. "They actually did think about it Gin, but it would be too dangerous. One, there are too many spells that can be used for both, like levi corpus can be used to torture or to fish drowning people out of a lake. Or petrificus totalus can be used in dueling or to stop a child from running out in the middle of a quidditch match. The list goes on and on. Plus, doing that would make us completely defenseless against other magical creatures; likedragons, trolls, or even the goblins. It's just too much of a risk. Anyway…In the end the Wizenagamot voted and decided to impose a marriage edict."
"The what!?" Mrs. Weasley could be heard over the other eight voices that had risen. She had never heard of a marriage edict, but it didn't sound like anything she wanted her family or Hermione and Harry involved in, a marriage edict indeed; preposterous. "And what exactly does this marriage edict entail?"
"Well, mother, it's exactly like it sounds, though the divisions are a bit complicated…It wouldn't do to have seventeen year olds married to twenty-seven year olds." He was the only one who found that the least bit funny and his nervous chuckle quickly died out. Clearing his throat, he explained. "yes, well anyway, it was decided that witches and wizards between the ages of seventeen and twenty-eight are most likely to be the ones joining and starting factions based on intolerant ideals."
"What?" Ron was already confused.
"They think that people in our age group are the ones going around attacking purebloods." Hermione clarified quickly, trying to get back to what Percy was saying. As sweet as Ron was, he could be tedious sometimes.
"Because Voldemort was really in our age group." Harry sneered, wondering how anyone could be so stupid.
Percy sniffed indignantly "Carrying on, the ministry has decided that it's best to force some tolerance…for the Magical communities own good, you see. It was agreed that the easiest and most efficient method would be to impose a Marriage Edict."
"So what is that?" Ginny asked.
Percy looked a bit sheepish as he answered, "It's a regulation that requires witches and wizards between those ages to get married…to the individual of the ministry's choosing."
"Are you kidding me!?"
"You can't be serious!!
"That's insane…how could Kingsley do this to us?"
The decibel level rose dramatically as the protests and denials rang throughout the kitchen.
" The Minister of Magic, Kingsley Shackelbolt, was against the marriage decree; but was outvoted in the Wizenagamot….He had nothing to do with it. You can thank the new Senior Under-Secretary Madame Nenet. Supposedly it worked wonders in Egypt." he said dejectedly. He may love law and order, and he may love working with the Ministry, but these were still his brothers and his sister. And this was their lives that were being taken…for the greater good.
"So how does this work exactly, do they toss all the names in a cup…" Fred questioned
"…and hope they get a boy and girl…" George finished with a sneer.
"…that aren't related."
"Good Merlin No!" Percy was affronted.
"Sounds like something the Ministry would do." Harry imputed, ignoring Percy's denial.
"It's going to be a lottery yes, but much…much more organized than that!"
"So how will it work then?" Hermione chimed, giving Percy as much of a smile as she could muster; which admittedly wasn't much. She realized he had to be in a bad position, and everyone's temper couldn't be making it easier.
Percy returned her smile and took a deep breath. "Like I said, it only affects those between the ages of twenty-eight and seventeen and they're breaking that age group into three smaller groups: seventeen thru age twenty will go in one group, twenty-one through twenty-four in another group and twenty-five through twenty-nine in another. That way there will be no major age gaps." When no one commented he continued. "Now here is where it could get confusing, of course boys and girls will then be separated, but they're also separating the candidates by blood status. That way they can mix them up more effectively. No pure-blood will be joined to another pure-blood; likewise with the others."
"That's ingenious" Hermione whispered, a look of horrified awe on her face.
"Excuse me?" Ron thought she may have actually lost her mind.
"Think about it, they can't make everyone pure-bloods, or muggle-borns…but they can make everyone-"
"-Half-bloods" Harry finished for her. But instead of awe there was disgust written plainly on his face.
"How does getting shackled change your blood status?" Ron looked back and forth between his two best mates.
"It's not us, it'll be our kids. They're thinking ahead. Think Ron, if tomorrow you were married to Pansy Parkinson – don't sneer it's a very real possibility – if you were married to Parkinson you wouldn't automatically like her. But if you had children…would you hate them?"
"Course not!"
"Exactly, and that's what they're counting on."
"They're trying to eradicate the source…we can't make them resolve their differences; so we take away their differences."
"I get it Percy. It still doesn't make it right." Harry snapped, not at all happy that he did actually get it.
"How long are they going to keep doing this?" Ginny asked softly as her mother idly stroked her hair. Ginny had always been independent and disliked being coddled, but now she found the gesture comforting.
"Until the Ministry deems that it is no longer necessary…Anyone who will be seventeen before the end of the year will be included in this lottery, but wont need to be joined until this time next year. Anyone who turns thirty before the year is out will not be included in this lottery. There is a bright side…sort of." Percy said to the silence. "To honor the war heroes they created a list…the elect 20 list."
Harry closed his eyes, hoping maybe if he didn't see Percy he wouldn't hear him either. He knew what he was going to say and he didn't want to hear it. He didn't want to be given that hope only to have to turn it down.
"The elect 20 get to chose, who they want to be joined to…Harry, you, Hermione, and Ron are on that list."
Hermione's head hit the table with a muffled thud. Harry buried his head in his hands and Ron turned the infamous Weasley red, while looking anywhere but at his brothers. For once he knew what it felt like to be Harry; to be gifted with things when everyone else was left wanting. Being Harry sucked.
"So how does that work. What do they have to do?" Molly chimed in, briskly. She could tell they weren't comfortable with it, but she wasn't about to let them sacrifice what little hope they had.
"They would need to owl in their requested choice of Partner as soon as possible. The thing is that's also on a first-come-first-served basis." Percy's mood took a noticeable turn for the worst, and he fidgeted a bit with his sleeves.
"Spit it out Perce..." Charlie snapped.
"I took the li-liberty of signing them up before I left. I figured Harry would chose Ginny and Ron would choose Hermione..."
"thanks Percy."
"yeah, thanks" they tried to be gracious but still couldn't help feeling like they were abandoning the others.
"Don't thank me yet." He said resignedly. " Harry you and Ginny were approved." Percy spared a glance for the two who were trying very hard not to look at each other. "Ron you and Hermione weren't"
Everyone looked doubly outraged at that bit of news and Percy had to grit his teeth to stop from joining in.
"Why the bloody hell not!?" Ron raged and Molly didn't even bother to correct his language. She was thinking some rather colorful words of her own.
"Like I said, it was on a first come first served basis. Someone else got there first apparently."
"How could they, It hasn't even been announced yet?" Molly questioned.
Hermione looked over Ron to Harry. Their eyes met, and they knew exactly what had happened. Even after everything, the ministry still ran an auction house for its services and apparently Hermione was the prize for the highest bidder…whoever he was.
"Hermione...another eligible member of the favored twenty had already claimed you before I got there." He looked apologetically at the girl whom he'd always gotten on best with. Better even then his own brothers and sister.
"How?" Ron was outraged. "Mums right, how could they have known? This all just happened last night." It struck Ron, that he would have preferred Ginny's idea, and had his wand restricted. Better his wand temporarily then his life permanently.
"I don't know…" Percy couldn't have looked any sorrier if it was his own fiancée'. "I went down to Madame Nenet's office as soon as I received the list, but she said…she said someone else was already approved for her."
"And I don't get a say…a choice in this…Our two votes don't over-rule his one" her voice had taken a hard edge.
"No. Once a match as been deemed acceptable it's written down in permanent ink. There are only two reasons they could nullify a match, death is the second."
"And the first" Fred asked shrewdly.
"Azkaban. They're using a Copula for these joinings, it'll be a permanent joining of the souls…hence the name; if the soul is sucked out and swallowed by dementors then it can't really be joining the two anymore." Percy clarified.
"Ron you can still choose-"
"Thanks" Ron sneered as he rose from the table, slamming the kitchen door behind him. The kitchen was quiet, an eerie quiet. The type of silence that happens when everyone knows there is more to be said, but no one wants to hear what it is.
Breakfast lay forgotten in the center of the table and each of the occupants were lost in their own thoughts. It was silent for a full five minutes. Three-hundred seconds of brooding misery that was only broken by the thumping of Ron as he charged back down the stairs.
He flung the door open again but didn't enter. "Who is he?" he hadn't yelled, but he wasn't quiet either.
Percy didn't pretend to not know what he was talking about. "Hermione?" he asked for permission.
"By all means Percy," her voice was strangely devoid of emotion, detached. She looked at Ron, and wanted to smile at his naivety. There was only one type of person that could have accomplished what he seemed to have done. "Which Death Eater's son has the Ministry sold me too?"
Percy was startled at her clarity and the words she delivered without malice. There was just calm detached acceptance, frankly it was scary. "Draco Malfoy."

Moderator.. if you are willing/able if you could correct it? It will be correct in the Archives but would be VERY nice to be correct on the thread. I apologize for not catching it prior
Sorry I have not been here this week very much. My wifi attendance very low. I haven't been taking a sabbatical like many here for stress reasons.. Just not easy access and phone is often NO SERVICE at home.
had some HTML squirrley stuff going on this morning... couldn't seem to correct and didn't have time to play any more.. HUGE spacing between items which should not be there as far as code is concerned
Great catch.
We live in the year 2017 and using my smart to FReep beyond simple text response is always a chore.
It is officially the future, why don't we have pop up hologram view screens and keyboards?
Thanks, Dolly.

They have the long knives out over Our First Lady and Our First Daughter.
They will truly hound them over anything and everything.
I am impressed.. thank you for correcting our date so early!
The MSM spends more time celebrating the fashion choices of Hillary and Michelle.
The media is the enemy. Sad to say, but we are in the midst of a culture war. The media finally drove the extreme right fringe to violence. Obama tried to trigger this for 8-years without success.
Good Morning Trumpians, you Deplorable people.
Thanks for the ping Dolly, do not know how you do it with limited access to wi-fi. Thanks so much for all you do.
Thanks for breakfast lysie, hope new job is going along well.
Praying for President, blamed for everything, my goodness.

The project is designed as a security system based on photo sensing arrangement. It uses a 14- stage ripple carry binary counter to sense the light intensity through LDR. The output drives a buzzer and a relay for necessary action. This concept is very useful to deter burglars from banks, malls, jewellery stores and also in homes.
The system is based on an electronic eye: it is an LDR sensor, called light dependant resistor. When light falls on the sensor, its resistance drastically decreases which lead to triggering an alarm to alert the user.This system best suits in the application of providing friendly security system for cash boxes and lockers, which can be found in malls, jeweler shops, and banks.
The circuit is placed inside the cash box or locker in such a way that, when the burglar opens the locker and uses a torch light to find the valuables, the light falls on the circuit which contains an electronic eye (LDR) and gives a signal to the ripple counter. This activates the alarm, and indicates a burglary attempt. Also a lamp is used to indicate the theft when the light falls on the LDR.
Further the project can be enhanced by using a GSM modem and a microcontroller. Gsm modem can be interfaced to the microcontroller to send an SMS to the user in case of burglary.

Issue No. 12, Article 10/June 15, 2007
Soybean Disease Update
Root rot and damping-off. In some parts of the state, observations have been made of soybean plants with reddish-brown sunken lesions on the roots and hypocotyls. In some cases, postemergent damping-off has also been observed. These observations are all symptoms of Rhizoctonia root rot, caused by the soilborne fungus Rhizoctonia solani. At this point in the growing season, there are no control options for the disease. No soybean varieties have complete resistance to Rhizoctonia root rot, but there are subtle differences in susceptibility among varieties. Fungicide seed treatments may reduce seedling blight caused by Rhizoctonia, but they do not provide season-long control. Some of the newer strobilurin fungicide seed treatment active ingredients that are now available for soybean, such as azoxystrobin and trifloxystrobin, may provide added protection against Rhizoctonia. Rhizoctonia root rot may be more severe when additional plant stresses are present (e.g., herbicide injury), so practices that promote good seedling health are recommended.
Reddish-brown sunken lesions on the roots and hypocotyls of soybean plants from Urbana, Illinois, caused by Rhizoctonia solani.
Postemergent damping-off of soybean plants from Urbana, Illinois, caused by Rhizoctonia solani.
Leaf spots. Small brown "spots" on lower leaves (especially unifoliolates) are appearing in some areas of Illinois. These spots are caused by the fungus Septoria glycines, and the disease is known as brown spot. Under the current dry conditions in most of the state, brown spot progression to other leaves will be halted. In general, brown spot does not cause economic losses to soybean fields in Illinois. Because the Septoria fungus overwinters on soybean debris, rotation with a nonlegume crop for at least one year will reduce the amount of Septoria present in a field.

Soybean rust. Some recent soybean rust activity has been reported in Texas and Louisiana. On June 5, soybean rust was detected in kudzu in St. Mary's Parish in Louisiana. Earlier this year (May 8), rust was detected in Iberia Parish. In Texas, soybean rust was reported in kudzu in Liberty County on June 2; it is the only known active rust site in the state. As part of a national monitoring effort for soybean rust, Illinois has 40 sentinel plots located throughout the state. Leaves from the sentinel plots are collected regularly and sent to the University of Illinois Plant Clinic to be checked for soybean rust. Sentinel plot data from all states are available at the USDA's soybean rust Web site (www.sbrusa.net). This site also contains the latest soybean rust fungicide decision guidelines (found under "Tactics"), which were recently revised.

Broken Glass, White Bull – an extract from Howard Goldenberg's latest book, "Raft"
On November 9, 1938, Heinrich Korn is nine years old.
William Cooper is 77 years old.
Shaike Snir has not yet been born.
Heinrich Korn and his family are proud Germans. Heinrich's father is proud to serve his Kaiser and his Fatherland in World War I. Heinrich (nowadays, Henri) says he only ever begins to feel his Jewishness in the autumn of 1938, when he is excluded from his school in Wupertal-Elberfeld because he is not Aryan. At this moment, the Nazi government creates Henri the Jew.
At 11.00 o'clock on the night of November 9, Henri is awakened by noises from the street. He joins his parents at the window and witnesses unimagined scenes of savagery. Below, by the pagan light of flickering torches, throngs of their fellow citizens, normally reserved and formal people, are cheering and singing wildly.
Henri sees uniforms, ordinary householders, gangs of youths. He hears sounds of crashing and the endless splintering of glass. In the moments between the sounds of destruction he can make out some of the singing: 'Let the blood flow!'
On all sides in the crowd there is a hideous joy.
From the hallway below them, Heinrich and his parents can feel the thump of approaching booted feet. The footsteps come up the stairs and reach their first-floor landing. Heinrich sees his parents, 'grey with fear.' The footsteps stop at the Korn threshold. Then they hear a woman's voice ring out, harsh and urgent: 'The Korns are decent people, good Germans, of good character!'
All sound stops. After long seconds of silence the boots clatter down the stairs.
The voice belongs to their neighbour, Frau Lewitzki, previously no friend to the Korns. Frau Lewitzki has two sons, both members of the S.S. It is they who have given their mother forewarning of the 'spontaneous' demonstration. It appears that neither the local Nazis nor the Lewitzki sons have noticed how similar their Polish surname is to Levi, Levitzki, and other Jewish names.
A friend and classmate of Henri Korn, Leo Trosky, dies during Kristallnacht: when the mob invades the Trosky flat, Leo's parents fight back, the mob seizes them and flings them through the window to their death below. Then they take hold of the child and throw him too, to die on the pavement, a nestling flung from its nest.
Early in the morning of November 10, Henri Korn creeps into the street to a scene that 'mere words cannot describe.' Some seventy years later, Henri tells me he cannot speak of it without losing his composure: 'The streets were littered with smashed furniture and thousands of shards of glass… candelabra, brassware, cutlery, bed linen. An upright piano!
Dwellings had been ransacked, women were weeping and men were wandering around aimlessly…
One image haunted me: an old grandfather clock, split in two by an axe-wielding maniac.
How strange that we had been spared the horror, thanks to the intervention of Frau Lewitzki.'
'Later I slipped out again. In the city centre, people were in a state of great excitement as the synagogue was burning… I ran towards it with all speed…
A large crowd was milling around, mostly working-class women, dressed in their blue aprons, whom I remember as being big and fat. Their faces were twisted with hatred… they waved their fists, screaming "Get rid of the Jews!"
A woman was attempting to salvage the Torah scrolls and a torch was thrown at her, setting her clothes alight.
People laughed and applauded at a human in flames.'
'Suddenly one woman looked down at me and exclaimed, "This boy is a Jew. I know his face!"
Immediately six heads swivelled and their eyes stared menacingly down at me. I fell on my knees and crawled among the many legs, managing to escape. I was shaking and hid under a bench, expecting to be pursued by an angry mob but nobody came. The burning synagogue must have offered a much greater attraction.'
'Apparently those efforts to burn the synagogue down failed that afternoon, so the evening brought the experts, who eventually managed to destroy it. The next day, 11 November, I was drawn to see the ruins… and the gutters of nearby streets were littered with hundreds of torn fragments of Torah scrolls.
For days after, cold and blustery north winds dispersed the Hebrew-inscribed remnants across the city.'
Henri stops. He comes back to the quiet and complacent peace of Selwyn Street in Elsternwick. In his beautiful diction, he explains: 'You know we Germans felt utterly abandoned by the world of civilized people. Some American Jews – not many – a few twittered in protest.
American public opinion was hostile and Jews were cowed.
In Britain, Oswald Moseley was describing Kristallnacht as "a necessary event", needed to teach Jews a lesson.
From Australia there was silence. Only William Cooper and his League acted.'
At the Jewish Holocaust Museum, Henri shows me the plaque that reads:
The Jewish Holocaust Museum and Research Centre honours the Aboriginal people for their action protesting against the persecution of Jews by the Nazi Government of Germany in 1938.
Nearby a photograph shows Heinrich Korn embracing a great-nephew of William Cooper.
In Mebourne, William Cooper reads the sketchy reports of Kristallnacht in the newspapers and he acts: together with Bill Onus, he organizes and leads a protest by the Australian Aborigines League to the German Consulate in Melbourne.
William Cooper is the son of an Aboriginal woman and a white Australian father. He is thus a 'half-caste' in the classification of humans that obtains in his own country and in Germany; he is not good enough to live in the mainstream.
Being of mixed blood, Cooper must be civilized and Christianized. He is taken from his home to a mission. There he reads the Bible and absorbs ideas of the equal value of all humans in the eyes of their Creator. He reads too of another people, dispossessed, dispersed and humiliated, and sees his people's experiences in the in the same light as those of the Jewish people.
Cooper's fellow protestor, Bill Onus, is another early Aboriginal activist; his son and grandson become recognized urban Aboriginal artists.
The Onus grandson, Tiriki, works in close collaboration with Shaike Snir, an Israeli Aussie artist, art patron and entrepreneur, eccentric and activist.
Henri Korn and Shaike Snir are contrasting individuals. Henri is a neat man, formal even in his weekend clothes, considered of utterance. He gives birth to his words with careful deliberation from behind the bushes of his Bismarck moustache. His speech is dignified, precise as a physicist's.
Shaike Snir is picturesque stringbean of a man with the beard of a prepubertal billy goat; informal, intimate and intense in utterance, he is a deadly serious joker.
After meeting the Onus family in 1989, Shaike engages endlessly with indigenous people and causes. His medium and his milieu are those of the artist. In 1995, together with two other Jewish painters, Shaike makes a pilgrimage to Mistake Creek in the Kimberley. It was here in the 1930's – in the same historic moment as the massacres of Kristallnacht – that a massacre occurred of Aborigines.
A cow belonging to a pastoralist had gone missing; local tribespeople were suspected; children and women were rounded up and shot.
Later that day the cow wandered back.
It was a mistake.
When Shaike arrives he makes a gift to the local people. It is an art work of his own making, a white bull, echoing both the cow of the mistake and Picasso's great painting of modern barbarism, Guernica. This is Snir's act of Teshuvah and Zikharon, at once contrition and memorial.
He asks Hector Gandalay, a local leader – himself a painter – whether he can forgive the massacre. If I do not forgive, says Gandalay, the evil spirit will take me.
Later, Shaike recruits painters and sculptors from around Australia to contribute to a large-scale touring exhibition on themes of memory and contrition. He calls the show 'The White Bull'.
Snir does not rest, does not disengage, creating work after work on the theme of the white bull and the red heifer (an enigmatic sacrifice stipulated in the Old Testament for symbolic penance following sin); and working to this day with Tiriki Onus on a major project, recalling Bill Onus and his Kristallnacht protest.
As Shaike observes: Tiriki and I are good friends. Consider the racial elements: Tiriki is one quarter Aboriginal. His mother, Jo, is German, so he is half German. Tiriki is Aboriginal, I am a white man, a Gadya. Tiriki is German, I am Jewish.
My nineteen year old son is playing pool in a rough pub in inner suburban Melbourne, his customary kippah (skullcap) on his head. An Aboriginal man stares at him. At length, the Aboriginal weaves a path towards him and speaks: "You're a Jew, aren't you?"
Ready for anything, my son replies:"Yes, I am."
"Well, us mob gotta learn from you mob."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean – you mob, you got your land back, you got your culture, you got our pride.
We gotta be like that."

We've been having some chilly weather the last few days (lows near 40 and highs near 50) so I decided to walk out and check on the hives. I need to get into them as soon as it's nice enough. The rest of the week is supposed to be better so hopefully Wednesday I can open them up and take a look.
Orange Hive
Some dead bees and a larva on the landing board. No activity at all from the entrance and just a couple of bees hanging out on the front of the hive. They looked pretty cold (high today is 50).
Blue Hive
No activity either. One bee did come out to see what I was doing but that's it. No dead ones like with the Sunkist though.
Stained Hive
No activity at all. No dead bees on the board either though.
White Hive
Good activity from the entrance. They aren't as active as usual but they are still working the feeders it seems since that's the direction all the foragers are heading. The 1st hive/breed (Italians) is still doing the best!
I think when I check them next I'll add a jar feeder to the Carni's, Sunkist, and Buckfast just for good measure. Not sure the Italians are giving them much room at the 3 jar feeders I have set out for all of them.

Hello! So sorry it's been so long! But school has been hectic, with exams, coursework deadlines and getting a portfolio ready for university interviews it's all been a bit much! So I've recently discovered this american jewellery designer Vanessa Mooney through Claire and Jenn's Youtube Channels and I just love her stuff so I thought I'd have a quick look and incorporate some of her stuff in a post, yes it is a bit pricey but it's all handmade and just absolutely beautiful! Although I think that her stuff is quite bohemian, you know me I had to grunge up the outfit a little so I went for a oversized looking dress with some wonderful cut-out boots! If I had the money then my cut-out boot collection would be wonderfully massive!
Love; Em xo

I'm an amateur photographer in Brooklyn. My neighbors love my Brownstone neighborhood photos, and this year I took the leap and started a small greeting card business using my photos! At first, the process seemed intimidating, but the customer service at Modern made it easy. I used the phone and email for help, and everyone was very nice, professional and supportive. The finished product speaks for itself...the cards are gorgeous! I am using them for my personal holiday cards, as well as selling them online and in small local businesses. I can't wait to prepare my second set of photo cards with Modern Postcard.

The Queen, Symbolism and Sorrow
"Hugely symbolic". Probably the two most over used words to describe the Queen's visit to the Irish Republic. I confess I myself have used the "s" word, and am struggling to find an alternative. Perhaps my struggle is evidence I lack the purple prose gene.
Or maybe it's part and parcel of a deliberately creative ambiguity fostered by both London and Dublin in which the spectator is invited to read whatever he or she wants into a President and a Queen standing, heads bowed, before the undeniably impressive Children of Lir statue at Dublin's Garden of Remembrance.
At a briefing given by the Foreign Secretary William Hague and the Irish Foreign Minister Eamon Gilmore, Channel Four's Gary Gibbon invited the politicians to share the interpretation that the joint appearance at the Garden was "a moment of contrition".
However the ministers weren't going there - it was "a hugely significant event", full of "huge symbolism" and an "important statement about our history and our future". But "contrition"? Well that would be in the eye of the beholder.
I asked the Foreign Secretary if it would be appropriate for the Queen to apologise for past British misdeeds in Ireland when she addresses guests at tomorrow night's state banquet. Mr Hague responded that Britain and Ireland weren't "glossing over the past".
This visit was about recognising the events of the past and showing how both states were moving together into the future. "That's the way to treat it rather than talking about apologies", Mr Hague concluded.
So - if that's anything to go by - expect a carefully crafted speech but something which stops short of a direct apology. Mr Hague also avoided any promises on issues like revealing official records on the Dublin Monaghan bombings.
It's something he says he's prepared to discuss, but he cited legal difficulties and constraints under the European Convention on Human Rights.
Both governments are much keener to talk about the future - the potential for further trade between partners who already do business worth one billion Euros a week.
Eamon Gilmore went so far as to suggest that the visit will put not just the history of the troubles in the past, but show Ireland was moving on from its "recent economic history" and rebuilding its reputation. Nice thought, although it's maybe a bit optimistic to talk about the crash as history just yet.
Both governments will be pleased that the Gardai were able to contain the inevitable protests - and that the visit has made the requisite visual impact.
In the sweep of British and Irish history, it is "hugely symbolic", it does underline the progress that has been made in Northern Ireland and the shared hopes for a brighter future.
Read more into it at your peril.

If everything is OK, this scan is likely to be one of the most amazing moments of your life. It's when you see your baby for the first time. You'll hear baby's heartbeat and might even see some hand-waving, acrobatics or kicks.
You won't be able to find out the gender of your baby yet. You and your partner will usually have to wait until the 20-week scan – that is, if you want to know.
In the first trimester your health professional will talk with you and your partner about screening tests for chromosomal abnormalities and other conditions.
Screening tests work out the chance of your baby having certain chromosomal abnormalities or other conditions. The results will say that your baby has a high chance or that your baby has a low chance of having certain conditions. Screening tests don't pick up all chromosomal abnormalities and don't tell you whether your baby is definitely affected.
First trimester screening tests include:
Conditions like Down syndrome can be diagnosed only with special antenatal tests like CVS or amniocentesis. If you're thinking about having these tests, genetic counselling services can give you more information about them.
Although most pregnancies are straightforward and progress without problems, there's a chance the scan could show that your baby is no longer alive.
A miscarriage is when a baby dies before 20 weeks of pregnancy. Miscarriage is common. Around 10-25% of pregnancies are miscarried, and 80% of miscarriages happen before 12 weeks. Miscarriage can be devastating. Along with grief and disappointment, you might feel helpless at not being able to protect your partner or your baby.
There's also a chance that the scan might pick up other health problems or complications. If this is the case, your partner will need your support. As well as taking care of her, recognise your own feelings and talk with someone you trust.
If there are medical concerns, or you've had problems with a previous pregnancy, or if there's too much uncertainty about the dates of the pregnancy, your doctor might suggest extra scans or tests. Some conditions can't be seen on a scan at all or can't be seen until later in the pregnancy.

Liberals, Conservatives, and the Clean Air Act
Liberals are not thinking liberal enough on this issue yet. And the conservatives are not thinking conservative enough.
Let's end both pollution and environmental laws.
It's not idealism. Just pragmatism with an extended timeline.
Time to transform the Clean Air Act to better prepare ourselves for the problems and opportunities of a 21st century world (ex. "The Clean Air and Climate Change Act of 2015"). We can make it happen.

7 comentarios:
I am an Erasmus student in Madrid UEM for just 1 trimester (- end of December) and as student life is not that cheap, I have tried to look for some part time actions I could get. Therefore, I just wanted to ask, if there is maybe a chance for me to help you to organize events etc sometimes and earn some pocket money.
If no, then it is totally OK. As they say, if you do not ask, the answer will always be no.
Best regards,

Choose betting limit tables ranging between 10 to 100; 30 to 300 and 50 to 500 when you play baccarat through Live Casino.
In baccarat, you have to correctly predict who will get a hand total of 9 (or closest to 9) between the player and the bank. The dealer hands out two cards to both the player and the bank.
Each card has an assigned value and the total is the sum of the two-card hand. This is how the values are calculated:
A third card will be drawn if the player and bank both have a hand total of less than or equal to 5.
A standard payout on baccarat is 1:1. You can also bet on the two hands finishing with an equal hand total (known as a tie), which pays out 8:1.

Thought I forgot? Nope. I've been thinking, and eating, and commiserating, and washing dishes.
I don't have 41 things to be grateful for, is what I learned. Because gratefulness is ongoing and fluid, and can't really be popped into a bulleted list, right?
Eff it, I'll try.
*My family. As time passes I have so little. I am clutching on to those I have left with white knuckles.
*Friends. The good ones. You know who you are and so do I. We may have 10 years or 20 together.
*Or, we have 7 years and never met in person and you still manage to get exactly what I'm saying all the time.
*I'm grateful for the health I have, but humans are selfish and with that said, I wish mine was better.
*I love funny stuff, and if you get me to snort, you win.
*I love making people laugh.
*I love writing, which is odd, as I don't do it at all like I should.
*I love second chances. Sometimes I think, eh, you're pushing it…Your jar of chances is basically backwash at this point. And then something happens out the blue and I'm surprised and the jar seems to level off.
*I love the usual: traveling, eating some of the best food I can, trying new things even when I know I'll wake up sore and grumpy the next day.*
*On that note, I love Motrin.*
*I love my nieces & nephews.
*I love it when I can push myself.
*I love when I can take personal inventory to heart.
I do NOT love not knowing my future, canceling on plans, when folks are dishonest, feeling like I'm in survival mode. I wish someone had explained to me that it wouldn't be a cakewalk a FEW years earlier.
*But I love more stuff than I don't. Like dogs. They're cool.
*Hugs rock too.
That can't be 41, right? I mean, I could fill up the list with points about fantastic sermons, an unexpected ride home, not needing an umbrella after all, getting my nails done, getting my hair to act right, finding out my favorite movie's about to start on TV. But this feels done, for now. For today. Cheers.

The new Ortofon 2M MONO Series - the true MONO from Ortofon!
The 2M Series of cartridges is designed for precise and accurate retrieval of the information in the record groove. Our philosophy is to play the record sound as accurate as possible, without coloring the sound. The name 2M was selected among several ideas. We wanted a modern name that would be easy to pronounce and to remember, and therefore an alpha numerical name was chosen. 2M means MM, which is the abbreviation for moving magnet.
The 2M series of cartridges feature Ortofons trademark split pole pins, an invention that enables moving magnet cartridges to have a flat frequency response, as with a moving coil cartridge. Split pole pins were invented by Ortofon, and were originally presented in the 500 series and Super OM series. We have optimized the design for ease of mounting the cartridge, weight and size to fit the most common turntables at the market today. 2M Series provides excellent compatibility in an assortment of playback systems and with a wide variety of phono preamps.

One of the phonetic characteristics that distinguish voiced from voiceless plosives in English (p/b, t/d, k/g) is voice onset time (VOT): the interval from plosive release to the onset of voicing of the following vowel. This article first reviews research on VOT anomalies in the speech production of prelingually and postlingually deaf speakers. Then it turns to studies of the mechanisms in speech breathing, phonation and articulation that underlie those anomalies. In both populations of speakers, there is a tendency for the difference between voiced and voiceless VOT to be reduced, to the point for many speakers that there is in effect a substitution of the voiced for the voiceless cognate. The separation of the cognate VOTs can be enhanced when some hearing is restored with a cochlear implant. Both populations also present anomalies in speech breathing that can hinder the development of intraoral pressures and transglottal pressure drops that are required for the production of the VOT contrast. Its successful management further requires critical timing among phonatory and articulatory gestures, most of which are not visible, rendering the VOT contrast a particular challenge in the absence of hearing. Acknowledgment This research was supported by Grant No. DC003007 from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders. This paper was presented initially as an invited talk in a special session, "Speech Communication: Forty Years of VOT," honoring Arthur Abramson and Leigh Lisker at the 147th meeting of the Acoustical Society of America, New York, May 25, 2004.

Alabama opens as touchdown favorite over Mississippi State
For the second time in four weeks, Alabama is favored over a ranked opponent on the road.
The No. 4 Crimson Tide opened as six-point favorites over the No. 20 Mississippi State Bulldogs, and are currently listed as seven-point favorites across Vegas (according to Vegas Insider).
Nick Saban's team dismantled No. 2 LSU, 30-16, on Saturday night, to collect its sixth win in a row.
MSU has had a few extra days to rest after walloping Missouri, 31-13, in Columbia on Thursday. Quarterback Dak Prescott reached two huge milestones — 10,000 career total yards and 100 career total touchdowns — in the win.
Last year's tilt was a big one, as No. 5 Alabama outlasted No. 1 Mississippi State, 25-20, in Tuscaloosa.
Alabama is used to being a road favorite; it took down then-No. 8 Texas A&M in mid-October after getting some love from Vegas.

Rohan Jewellery, Perth. Rohan Milne, multi-award winning West Australian jeweller, has successfully challenged some of the world's most prestigious jewellery houses, to win the bid for a rare pink diamond in Argyle's 2008 Pink Diamond Tender.
The fiercely-contested subject of attention is a pear-shaped, 0.66ct fancy, intense purple-pink gem listed in Argyle's tender process as "one-of-one". It was the only pear shaped gem in the tender and has one of the most brilliant, vivid colours of the 2008 collection. Participation in the Argyle tenders is by invitation only to the worlds leading diamantaires and diamond jewellers, with viewings traditionally held in New York, Tokyo, Perth, Antwerp, Hong Kong, London and Geneva.
To put the true rarity of these special pink diamonds into perspective, of every million carats of rough diamonds produced at the Argyle mine, a mere one carat is suitable for sale in one of these tenders. An intense coloured stone attracts on average 25 times the value of equivalent colourless diamonds because of their scarcity.
An unnamed source at Argyle said they shared Rohan's delight that the unique stone, with an estimated retail value in excess of $450 000, will remain on Australian soil, and in the hands of an Australian craftsman.
Rohan's artist's eye for design and his skilled craftsmanship are matched only by his delight in the creation of unique pieces to suit the personality of the wearer.
