Analysis of a No Goal call
So, I mentioned in my last game report a Marco Rosa no-goal caused by "unintentional goaltender interference" by Matt Kassian, and I want to go back and look at this thing. Ultimately, the Aeros didn't need this goal to get the win, but it sure would have made a nice night for Rosa and I'm guessing Kass wasn't feeling real good about it either.
My experience with goalie interference is thus:
- When you're new to playing hockey, they stick you on the wing and tell you to camp in front of the net to try and bang in rebounds. As you get a little more confident, you learn that you can have fun irritating the goalie by screening them, trash talking them, making fun of their ridiculous new pimp 'stache, etc.
So, I found out a few weeks ago how much fun it is to get up in the opposing goalie's grill and I was hanging out right on crease line, IN the paint. I go back to the bench and they start in on me: "You have to stay out of the crease. If a goal goes in while while you're in the crease, it won't count." Oh heavens. Okay. Stay out of the crease. Check.
- Then there's the most recent, famous no-goal call on Thomas Holmstrom in the playoffs. Now, this was a picture perfect screen and nothing more if you ask me. But they called it goaltender interference and waved the goal off.
Anyway, Fred, hockey photog extraordinaire, emails me and says, "Sweet Jesus, girl! You're blinder than the ref!" (Okay, I'm paraphrasing. He was a lot nicer than that.) And he sends me the rule:
Just pretend there's a big gray block of text here with a bunch of caveats about this and that regarding goaltender interference. I tried to read it but... meh..., so I read the first paragraph and found what I wanted. Pretty much the same way I got through English classes my whole life. Sorry, Mrs. Lee. No, I didn't read Beowulf.But here's why I think the ref was perhaps overly strict (which was pretty much a theme for that game anyway... as I mentioned, he called EVERYTHING), but not necessarily wrong:
69.1 Interference on the Goalkeeper - This rule is based on the premise that an attacking player's position, whether inside or outside the crease, should not, by itself, determine whether a goal should be allowed or disallowed. In other words, goals scored while attacking players are standing in the crease may, in appropriate circumstances be allowed. Goals should be disallowed only if:Now, before I go into how I saw this go down, look at a couple of pictures Fred took of this goal.
(1) an attacking player, either by his positioning or by contact, impairs the goalkeeper's ability to move freely within his crease or defend his goal; or
(2) an attacking player initiates intentional or deliberate contact with a goalkeeper, inside or outside of his goal crease. Incidental contact with a goalkeeper will be permitted, and resulting goals allowed, when such contact is initiated outside of the goal crease, provided the attacking player has made a reasonable effort to avoid such contact.
Here's Kassian, having fallen into the goalie, trying now to get to his feet and get the hell out of the way, because everybody in the building knows Rosa's about to put the puck in the net. Click to make it bigger. Thanks to Fred Trask for use of the photos.
Now, this is "two seconds later" as Kassian has JUST gotten up and the puck, as you can see, is hitting the back of the net and the ref is about to wave his arms decisively, "NO GOAL!" And I'm sitting in the press box saying, "They're not gonna count that. No goal." and then watching the crowd, vividly remembering how painful that is when you're there as a fan. You jump up and you scream and clap and the world is perfect for a few seconds and then, "WHAT? Hey ref, you SUCK! You're f***ing blind!!!" Detachment is a blessing at times like this.
So, here's my take: What I thought, and what I assume the ref thought, was that just because Kassian had managed to get the majority of himself out of the crease upon the puck going in the net, his position just a second or two earlier interfered with the goalie's ability to move freely in his crease and get into the position he needed to be in (which, from where Rosa was shooting in the high slot, should have been at the top of his crease and not way deep in the net).
But because Kassian was wallowing in his crease and keeping LeNeveu from recovering fully... not only not getting into the ideal position, but also not even getting back up on his skates... the interference was still "in play" when when the goal went in.
And because Kassian's interference with the goalie was clearly not intentional and he was trying mightily to get out of the paint ASAP, it was clearly not penalty-worthy. There may have been something about penalty worthiness in all that rule stuff, but I'm gonna say the ref followed the spirit of the rule here regarding intention. (I made that last part up.)
Now, you could make the case that the goalie should have been able to get up more quickly, but look at that first picture again. He's IN the net, at least halfway, and Kassian is no small peanut... he's taking up that crease, so LeNeveu can't get up until he has a bit of room to move forward. But by then, he probably sees Rosa has wound up and there's a shot coming so he needs to just do the best he can with where he's stuck at the moment, which is, unfortunately for him, much too deep and on his knees (heh...)
You could also make the case that I'm a notorious goalie sympathizer and if a decision is on the fence, I'm taking the goalie's side every time.
Or, you could make the case that I really don't like to be wrong and, man, I was pretty definitive saying that was a good call. I have to at least make my case if I'm gonna be that definitive about it, right? Go big or go home.

Kenya Rivals Agree to Act on Violence
Kenya's rival sides said Friday they had agreed to take action to end monthlong violence from a disputed presidential election, but the death toll mounted when police fired on mobs setting homes and businesses ablaze in the west of the country.
Kofi Annan, the former U.N. secretary-general who is mediating, said the sides had agreed to tackle within a week the most pressing issues _ including resolving the immediate political crisis. Both sides called for illegal militias to be disbanded and for the investigation of all crimes connected to the violence, including alleged excessive force by police.
Please pray for these talks to succeed and the bloodshed to stop ... pronto.

A month after his inauguration, President Muhammadu Buhari has put his hand to the plough. He is reinvigorating the anti-terror war. The President has also vowed to recover looted funds. Nigerians expect quick action in other sectors.Assistant Editor LEKE SALAUDEEN reports.
President Muhammadu Buhari promised Nigerians that he will hit the ground running immediately he assumes office. Besides the steps he has taken towards tackling Boko Haram insurgency through regional and global support and the restoration of the country's integrity in the international community, critics believe he has not done much in the past four weeks.
But, on Tuesday, the President swung into action. He sent signals to corrupt public officials that there was no hiding place. He vowed to recover stolen funds and prosecute culprits. President Buhari said the days of theft and graft were over.
But, the President has been criticised for the slow pace of work in other areas. He is yet to appoint ministers, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), the Chief of Staff and Special Advisers that will assist him in policy implementation. Social crusader Tunji Adedigba said there is no sign that the new administration has taken charge as expected. He was particularly concerned that the burning issues in the oil sector have not been addressed. Admitting that the task ahead of the government is monumental, he said the Nigerians are impatient because what they are looking for is real change.
He said: "If we are to assess Buhari on the first few days of his administration, I'm afraid not much has been achieved." Nevertheless, Adedigba said the predicament of the Buhari-led government is understandable, "because they got the transition report very late and there was no platform to work on." He added: "I think the Jonathan administration deliberately put this obstacle to slow down the take-off of the Buhari government. But, even at that some people argued that the government should have formulated economic policies that would form the thrust of his administration to attract local and foreign investors."
Similarly, human rights activist and social critic, Femi Aborishade, is not impressed with the performance of the new government. He said: "I will say that I am disappointed in several ways. By now, the expectation is that one would have started feeling the impact of change the President promised Nigerians.
"The only good thing he has demonstrated is his commitment to tackle the Boko Haram insurgency. Nobody can take that away from him. Nobody doubts that he means business and is set to flush the terrorists out of the country. But, in other areas, I expected much more. In the first place, I expected him to have tackled the fuel crisis. The crisis started before he came on board and Nigerians were hoping that once he assumes office, he would tackle the fuel crisis headlong. Unfortunately, the President has not done anything about the crisis. He has not even said a word about it. It is as if to say we don't have a government in place yet on the fuel issue."
But, other observers disagree. They argue that Buhari is moving at the right pace and that reversing the tide in a country like Nigeria at a critical time like this demands care and diligence. Former governor of the old Anambra State, Dr Chukwuemeka Ezeife asked Nigerians not to use the few days in government so far to assess Buhari's performance.
He said: "It is not too late to appoint ministers. Buhari needs time to structure his administration. For instance, he wants to prune down the number of ministries, plan to appoint only 19 ministers which I think is a right decision given the state of the economy.
"I think God loves Nigeria and that is why Buhari was elected President. Nigerians should have positive minds because the President needs positive attitude of people to succeed. I am confident that Buhari will do his best to develop Nigeria, given his integrity, pedigree and track record. If he fails, we would have failed as a people. This is why we must all ensure that we support him to deliver on his campaign promises. The President needs the support of every Nigerian to succeed."
Senior Special Assistant (SSA) to the President on Media, Mallam Garba Shehu explained why Buhari has not hit the ground running. He said: "President Buhari did say he would hit the ground running, but he has not been given the chance to hit the ground running because the administration that he succeeded — the Jonathan administration — did not deliver the handover notes until two or three days to the inauguration; meaning that the handover notes were submitted at a time when everyone had been consumed by inauguration activities.
"Unfortunately there was no time to look at them until after the President had been inaugurated. The President was left in the dark. He had to understand what the situation was and what was on ground. That was why he set up a different transition committee. It was only last week that the committee led by Dr. Ahmed Joda scrutinised the handover notes and handed over the report to President Buhari.
"To be fair to him, he would have hit the ground running, if the previous government had handed over the notes early. However, the Jonathan government did not even permit any minister to interact in any way with the Buhari Transition Committee. Evidently, we had our hands tied behind our backs until we took over. Thus, there is nothing shady about it."
Shehu explained that the ministerial appointments had yet to be made because the committee needed to conclude its findings first. The committees 800-page report was presented to President Buhari only last Friday.
A political analyst, Chidi Okoye, advised President Buhari on what he should do to sustain the confidence of the people who voted him into office. He said Buhari should pick areas of concentration. "The All Progressives Congress (APC) manifesto was excellent for securing votes, but it is time for it to be cast aside. It is highly doubtful that the country's present economic situation would allow the President carry out all the promises contained in that document."
Okoye said: "Focusing on a core area or two (say fighting corruption and fixing power) for the next four years will enable the President achieve appreciable results. According to him, in the long run, Nigerians will begin to experience the real change. He noted that the system will fight back, "but that is the more reason why any committed reformer needs to concentrate on specific battles and win them. One battle at a time weakens the system. All we need to do is get leaders ready to keep fighting these battles until we have won enough for the system to collapse. Only then can we build a new system that consists of things working as they are supposed to.
"President Buhari has made several promises to Nigerians and it is the duty of every true patriot to help him succeed. One gets the impression that Mr. President is overwhelmed with the level of decay that confronts him and the shackles of politicking that has been thrown around him. To free himself and get down to the work, Buhari needs to assert himself as a political leader and Head of State. If truly he desires to fix a few things, he would have to jettison political correctness and trample on many toes to push through his reforms. For example, his alleged disinterest in his party's shenanigans in choosing principal officers of the National Assembly would have to be reversed."
To a public affairs analyst, Ezenwa Nzegwu, Nigerians are a people in a hurry for development; we expect things to start working very quickly, not minding the circumstance the new government found itself. He said the main reason why people are complaining about Buhari's pace is because he has not made key appointments like Secretary to the Federal Government, ministers and Special Advisers, despite the approval granted him by the Seventh Senate to appoint 15 Special Advisers.
Nzegwu agreed that if certain key appointments have not been made after three weeks of inauguration, nothing will happen. "It is important to make appointments now that the National Assembly has been inaugurated, so that the business of governance will start full blast," he said. The public affairs analysts said Nigerians are not in the mood to tolerate excuses. "They want action; they want to feel change as promised by the President during the campaign," he added.
He advised the ruling party to put its house in order. "The love lost relationship between the executive and the leadership of the National Assembly is not good for the party; it is not good for governance and it will not benefit the Nigerian people. The four- year tenure of Buhari has started reading. The performance of the APC government will determine its success at poll in 2019. You can't voice excuses for too long. If the APC is able to deal with its internal crisis, the party will make a difference.
But, the SSA insisted that the President has so far shown determination to fulfil his electoral promises to Nigerians. He contended that the administration is just coming on board and the President has been busy setting out suitable modalities on how to actualise his plan of restoring Nigeria as contained in the manifesto of the APC.
Shehu cited the invitation of President Buhari to attend the G-7 summit in Germany recently as a sign that the international community is obviously acknowledging Nigeria's significant role in global affairs' especially with the recent change in government. He said the President would do all within his power to guarantee that the Nigerians would not regret entrusting him with national responsibility by electing him during the March 28 presidential poll.
National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Alhaji Lai Muhammed is contended with the Buhari's performance within few days he assumed office. According to him, the Buhari administration has invigorated the fight against Boko Haram by rallying a regional and global front against the terror group. A proof to this claim is the pledge of $5 million made by the United States to the fight against Boko Haram, in addition to other material support. This is apart from the G-7 promise to strengthen Nigeria's efforts to quell the insurgency. The APC spokesman also mentioned that Buhari has been able to restore Nigeria's integrity and that many countries were beginning to respect Nigeria again.
Ezeife advised Buhari to overhaul the anti-graft agency, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). He said the body should be made up of people of high integrity, uncompromised individuals that have what it takes to fight corruption in the public and private sectors.
"Buhari should ride rough shod over obstacles in his way in his anti-corruption crusade. If you are doing the right thing people will support you. I am sure given his age and his antecedent he will deal with corruption decisively and instil discipline in our public life. If he succeeds in his anti-corruption war, he will become a hero."

Some people go their entire lives without being called, but I somehow managed to once again spend the past week of my life serving jury duty. This time I was summoned to the King County Superior Court, and unlike my last round, things started happening almost immediately.
After watching a short video and filling out some forms, I was called with 60 other people into a courtroom for jury selection. The trial would be a criminal case of child molestation and child rape... by the victims' father. Wow. I was horrified by the accusations, and fascinated wondering how the trial would play out in this type of a case. I've always been fascinated by our legal system, even more so since I finished the Paralegal Certification Program at UW about a year and a half ago.
We sat through a couple hours of questioning and then returned after lunch for jury selection. Both attorneys started dismissing people for cause right and left. Every time someone in the main box of jurors was dismissed, someone from the gallery seats was brought up to take their place. Suddenly it was my turn, and as I took my new seat the judge announced that selections were complete. I was officially juror #2.
For the next two days I arrived at the courtroom by 8:45am and joined the other jurors in a tiny room behind the courtroom. Around 9am we were led out to sit through about an hour or two of witness testimony (court inevitably started late each day), followed by a 15 minute (often much longer) morning break, then a lunch break (between 1.5 to 2 hours), then another hour or two of witness testimony followed by an afternoon break (at least 15 minutes, if not more) and finally trial would conclude for the day somewhere between 3pm and 4pm. Are you getting the idea that we took a lot of breaks? I would love to have this schedule at my real job! Instead, I happened to be assigned to jury duty right when my office was super slammed, so every day at lunch and when we were done with court for the day I raced up to my office four blocks away to sneak in an hour or two of work. It was all pretty exhausting.
Even though the trial seemed to be taking an extra long time because half of the witnesses did not speak English and required translators, we actually concluded ahead of schedule and soon it was time to deliberate. After listening to the entire case and testimonies of all the witnesses, I had a good idea of which way my vote would go, but I was really looking forward to experiencing the deliberation process. However, it was at this point that I was selected as an alternate juror, and excused from the courtroom! Apparently the courts always have 14 jurors sit through cases and then randomly select two alternates who are not required to deliberate. I felt as though I had read almost an entire book only to find that the pages of the last chapter were ripped out!
Back to work I went.
Later the next day the court called to inform me that the defendant had been found guilty on all counts (raping and molesting two of his four daughters). I felt relieved because that's the verdict I would have chosen, but I still wonder how things unfolded in the jury room... I guess I'll never know.
So at this point I have been selected as a juror twice in the past three years, and I must say that I feel I've served my civic duty for a while... it's someone else's turn!!

Jury Duty... Again?!

Then again, the other part of the bill seems to embody the real purpose of the law. Now, perhaps the original sponsors really believed they were saving the world. And maybe even now supporters continue to act out of some sort of altruism (albeit a pretty arrogant one**). But the politicians definitely have latched onto the bill, and twisted it to a new purpose, generating revenue. The bill provides that, if the warning is not posted, violators will be fined $500, presumably per offense. In other words, if manufacturers refuse to add the Baltimore-specific warning label, and you don't affix your own, you could conceivably be fined $3000 for each six pack of sodas. And what could be dearer to a politician's heart?( See "Racketeering Through Legislation")
Baltimore retailers have pointed out that -- much like Baltimore's previous ill-fated "container tax" and Maryland's equally disastrous ban on smoking in bars and restaurants (my description, not theirs) -- this law seems designed to drive retailers out of the city. As they point out, Baltimore is hardly supporting a robust economy, to impose extra costs and fines is not exactly the way to drag the city's economy out of the doldrums. But is that not always the conundrum of politicians? The lust for plundering every last dime set against the need to (reluctantly) let citizens keep a pittance to inspire them to generate future income? Though, experience has shown me Baltimore seems most often to come down on the side of "take it all, they'll figure out some way to survive".
But I did not write just to point out the absurdity of Baltimore's schemes. Instead, I wanted to point out that this particular law is just one example of a rather silly modern trend, and one which, while often touted as a solution to all our woes, in reality turns out to be quite futile, imposing massive costs and inconveniences without providing any benefit.
That is the tendency toward warnings. Or, to be more specific, our ever expanding liability laws, which, by making individuals liable for ever more remotely connected events, tends to inspire them to try to deflect such blame, leading, quite often, to the "battle of the disclaimer", and its more visible corollary, the proliferation of signs. (See "The Perversion of Liability Law")
To be fair, signs are not always a private venture, a means of fending off the liability predators. Some times, as in the case of Baltimore, it is instead a government mandate. And that version is even more absurd. By mandating ever more excessive warnings on ever more innocuous items, government warnings do not provide the security that is their nominal purpose, but instead simply make us oblivious to warnings (including those few we should heed), while creating a new target for litigious predators.
Before I proceed, allow me to demonstrate this point by reproducing a sign I found while in California last month:
So, what is this sign protecting us from? Is it a chemical plant? A garbage dump? A factory? A treatment plant? Given the warnings it seems it is certainly an area rife with threats to human health, certainly nowhere one would want to visit.
So, what is the threat this sign is warning us against? A shopping mall!
As you can see, this warning comes from one of the signs to Universal Studio's City Walk shopping district. Needless to say, the statements in the warning sign seem -- to say the least -- a bit overblown. Which makes me imagine that Californians are prone to ignore such signs, since they appear almost everywhere.
If you doubt that claim, check out this sign I found on my hotel's conference rooms, giving warning that people might be exposed to smoke.
Now think about that for a moment. If these warnings appear everywhere, and warn of everything, how much attention do you imagine is paid to them? And, if they are routinely ignored, then, what is the point? How much safety do they offer if they are so ubiquitous that no one even sees them any more?
Well, in the case of California, they do provide one service, though not the one proclaimed. They provide a comfortable living to lawyers.
As I wrote before, when California adopted stringent rules on food and other labeling, requiring warnings on anything "known to California" to cause cancer or mutations or birth defects, they appended a massive fine structure as well, providing a bounty for citizens discovering such missing warnings, and creating a population of people who spent time seeking out missing warnings, essentially plundering businesses and splitting the proceeds with the state***.
All of which is perfectly predictable with but a moment's thought. If you warn against everything, you might as well warn against nothing, as people will simply go deaf and blind from the profusion of warnings. And yet, because government busy bodies see threats everywhere, they cannot do anything but warn us against everything. And so, we end up with too many warnings, too little additional protection, and exceptional costs imposed unpredictably, upon random individuals, paying benefit to lawyers and the state, while improving our lives little or not at all.
* The newscast set a new standard for hype in leading into the story by describing sugar as a "serious threat to human life".
** As I have often pointed out, assuming you know better than anyone else what they should do strikes me as a pretty arrogant position to adopt. See "Why Freedom Is Essential" , "Another Look At Exploitation", "Hard Cases Make Bad Law", "Harming Society", "In Loco Parentis", "Government by Emotion", "Missionary Zeal and Human Discord", "Humility and Freedom", "Smoking Versus Sex -- Want and Need Take Two", "Every Kid Likes Hot Dogs" and "On the Side of the Angels... Yet Completely Wrong".
*** There was a similar result when California provided similar bounties for noncompliance with "access for the disabled", which got so bad -- lawyers actually sponsoring crews of handicapped individuals who sought out inaccessible stores for a paycheck -- that businesses threatened to close their doors due to the sudden imposition of unexpected, and often unpredictable, costs.
The description of how the fines might work is my own assumption, not the wording of the proposal, or the newscast. However, as far as I can tell, there is no concrete definition of what a single violation might be, and so, presumably, a $500 fine could be assessed for each item found without the proper warning, making for some tremendous fines.

Panthers beat Lions twice in '10
By CHRIS WHITE
The Albany Panthers are on a path to make up for last season's postseason woes one game at a time.
Two weeks ago, the Panthers (2-0) defeated the Louisiana Swashbuckers, the team that upset them in the first round of last year's playoffs after Albany held the top spot most of the season. And this week they host the Columbus Lions (2-0), a team the Panthers defeated two times in three meetings last season. The Lions took advantage of the playoff upset to win the Southern Indoor Football League championship.
But Lions coach Jason Gibson said he has avoiding thinking much about the rivalry and any playoff implications tonight's Southern Division matchup could have. Instead, Gibson said, it's all about tempering early-season expectations with late-season success in mind.
"I know (we) got a bulls-eye on our back because we're the champs, and I know Albany has something to prove after last year," Gibson said. "It's a big game, I know that. But at this point in the season I'm not playing it up like it's the Super Bowl. Our guys know there are a lot more games to win after this one, and they're just as important."
While last season's playoff upset may be motivating Albany's returning players, Gibson said it was anecdotal evidence that the outcome of an early season rivalry game such as tonight's does not always set in stone the way the rest of the season will go.
"I think Albany showed last year exactly what the regular season means: Nothing," Gibson said. "What's going to matter is who is hot later in the season."
Each of the Eastern Conference's three division winners and a wildcard advance to the playoffs. If the Lions can build a lead or at least maintain pace in the standings with Albany and Alabama, the final leg of the season appears to be working in Columbus' favor as it hosts those teams in back-to-back weeks on May 26 and June 4 and closes the season with four of its five final games at the Civic Center.
Reaching that point will take some work as the Lions play four of their six division games on the road, beginning with the trip to Albany tonight. They follow it by traveling to the Hammers on April 21 and at the Panthers again on May 14.
But with one win over Alabama already out of the way, the Lions are the only Southern Division team with a division victory.
"That first game against the Hammers, that really was the biggest game for us so far," Gibson said. "I saw that we had three of our first four games on the road and thought that, if we could escape 2-2, we would be sitting pretty at this point. Well, we're already 2-0, so we are sitting pretty regardless of what happens."

In unsubtle critique, Israel gifts UNESCO Arch of Titus replica In unsubtle critique, Israel gifts UNESCO Arch of Titus replica Cultural agency's chief Irina Bokova accepts frieze of menorah being carted off by Romans as 'recognition of the strength of our partnership with Israel' Raphael Ahren is the diplomatic correspondent at The Times of Israel. A replica of the Arch of Titus, handed to UNESCO on September 26, 2017 (Erez Lichtfeld) Israel handed a replica of a frieze from the Arch of Titus to the head of UNESCO, using the monument commemorating Rome's victory over Jerusalem for a not-so-subtle critique of the organization's resolutions that ignore Jewish links to the holy city. The idea originally came from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, after the United Nations Educational and Scientific Organization passed a resolution last year that used only Muslim names for the Jerusalem Old City holy sites. Get The Times of Israel's Daily Edition by email and never miss our top stories Free Sign Up The replica will be exhibited in UNESCO's Paris headquarters as a "greeting from the historical truth about the existence of two Temples on the Temple Mount," said Carmel Shama-Hacohen, Israel's ambassador to the agency. Shama-Hacohen handed the replica to UNESCO's outgoing director-general Irina Bokova, who, in her speech, offered a more subtle critique of one-sided anti-Israel resolutions passed routinely by her organization's member states. "2,000 years ago the Romans destroyed the Temple and removed it from the Jewish people. And today, UNESCO is trying to destroy and remove the history of Jerusalem from the Jewish people," Shama-Hacohen said at the event. "When the executive board of UNESCO adopts every six months a resolution that denies the connection between the Jewish people and the Temple Mount, they are not only adopting a political resolution, they are adopting a resolution that negates the right of the State of Israel to exist and the Jewish people's right of self-determination," he said. Furthermore, such resolutions "pave the way for spreading anti-Semitism and terrorism," Shama-Hacohen went on. "To those who are using UNESCO and its executive board as a political tool to promote political stability in their own site web country I say, enough. Too many people are paying a heavy price for your resolutions," he said. "Taking this organization and Jewish history as a hostage for your political problems is not the answer." The Arch of Titus. (Wikimedia commons/Cassius Ahenobarbus) Built in the year 82 CE, the Arch of Titus commemorates Rome's victory over the Jews and check out the post right here subsequent siege of Jerusalem 12 years earlier. It depicts Roman soldiers carrying away the grand menorah that was used by the high priests in the destroyed Jewish Temples, and is seen by many Jews as proof of the Jewish people's connection to Jerusalem. "The Arch of Titus in Rome illustrates a most tragic event in the history of the Jewish people, bearing witness also to the millennial relationship between the Jewish people and the city of Jerusalem," Bokova said at the event. Israel's ambassador to UNESCO, Carmel Shama-Hacohen, with cultural agency's director-general Irina Bokova, September 26, 2017 (Erez Lichtfeld) Bokova, who will end her term as UNESCO head next month, accepted the gift — crafted by the Art Conservation Department at the Israel Antiquities Authority — as "recognition of the strength of our partnership with Israel, and as a promise of a deeper cooperation in the future." The story of the Temple's destruction "stands at the heart of Jewish identity," she said. "This story can guide us through the depths of time, showing the resilience of a people, helping us understand the role of transmission and memory, how it structures identities over centuries, how cultures permeate and influence each other." Jerusalem, she said, is sacred to the three monotheistic religions, "and nowhere in the world more than in Jerusalem do Jewish, Christian and Muslim traditions share space and interweave to the point that they support each other." Referring to the Temple Mount by both its Hebrew and Arabic names — Har Habayit and Al-Haram al-Sharif, respectively — she noted Jerusalem's universal value to all three religions. Said Bokova: "Too often we see the rise of exclusive discourses, trying to distort and cut our heritage in pieces, in endless disputes about what belongs to who, to this culture or another, about whose heritage is the greatest, the oldest, the holiest." She always tried to work with all UNESCO member states to "strengthen the spirit of coexistence," she said. "It is not always easy, but there is no other way."

What Is TAN Different Tokens – 6 Level Hybrid Marketing Platform
Thank you so much for visiting our website in search of "What Is TAN Different Tokens" online.
In the event of a fully-functioning cryptocurrency, it may even be exchanged like a thing. Proponents of cryptocurrencies announce that this sort of digital cash isn't managed with a fundamental bank system and is not therefore subject to the vagaries of its inflation. Since there are always a limited quantity of goods, this moneyis benefit is founded on market forces, letting entrepreneurs to deal over cryptocurrency trades.
Mining cryptocurrencies is how new coins are put into circulation. Because there is no government control and crypto coins are digital, they cannot be printed or minted to create more. The mining process is what produces more of the coin. It may be useful to think about the mining as joining a lottery group, the pros and cons are just the same. Mining crypto coins means you will really get to keep the full benefits of your efforts, but this reduces your chances of being successful. Instead, joining a pool means that, overall, members are going to have much higher possibility of solving a block, but the reward will be split between all members of the pool, according to the number of shares won.
If you are considering going it alone, it really is worth noting that the applications settings for solo mining can be more complex than with a pool, and beginners would be probably better take the latter route. This option also creates a stable stream of revenue, even if each payment is small compared to totally block the wages.
Here is the trendiest thing about cryptocurrencies; they usually do not physically exist everywhere, not even on a hard drive. When you examine a particular address for a wallet featuring a cryptocurrency, there's no digital information held in it, like in the exact same manner that a bank could hold dollars in a bank account. It is nothing more than a representation of value, but there is absolutely no real tangible sort of that value. Cryptocurrency wallets may not be seized or frozen or audited by the banks and the law. They would not have spending limits and withdrawal constraints enforced on them. No one but the person who owns the crypto wallet can determine how their riches will be managed.

You have probably seen this often times where you frequently distribute the nice word about crypto. It is not risky? What goes on when the price accidents? sofar, several POS systems presents free conversion of fiat, alleviating some worry, but until the volatility cryptocurrencies is addressed, a lot of people will soon be unwilling to carry any. We must find a way to fight the volatility that is inherent in cryptocurrencies.
Many individuals choose to use a currency deflation, notably those that desire to save. Despite the criticism and skepticism, a cryptocurrency coin may be better suited for some applications than others. Monetary seclusion, for instance, is great for political activists, but more debatable when it comes to political campaign funding. We need a secure cryptocurrency for use in commerce; If you are living paycheck to paycheck, it would take place as part of your wealth, with the rest earmarked for other currencies.
For most users of cryptocurrencies it is not essential to comprehend how the procedure functions in and of itself, but it is basically vital that you comprehend that there's a process of mining to create virtual money. Unlike currencies as we know them now where Governments and banks can simply choose to print unlimited amounts (I 'm not saying they are doing thus, just one point), cryptocurrencies to be managed by users using a mining application, which solves the complex algorithms to release blocks of currencies that can enter into circulation.
Ethereum is an unbelievable cryptocurrency platform, yet, if growth is too quickly, there may be some difficulties. If the platform is adopted quickly, Ethereum requests could grow dramatically, and at a rate that surpasses the rate with which the miners can create new coins. Under a situation like this, the entire platform of Ethereum could become destabilized because of the raising costs of running distributed programs. In turn, this could dampen interest Ethereum platform and ether. Instability of demand for ether can result in a negative change in the economical parameters of an Ethereum based company that may result in company being unable to continue to manage or to stop operation.
The physical Internet backbone that carries information between different nodes of the network is currently the work of several companies called Internet service providers (ISPs), including companies that provide long-distance pipelines, sometimes at the international level, regional local pipe, which ultimately joins in homes and businesses. The physical connection to the Internet can only occur through any of these ISPs, players like level 3, Cogent, and IBM AT&T. Each ISP runs its own network. Internet service providers Exchange IXPs, owned or private companies, and sometimes by Authorities, make for each of these networks to be interconnected or to move messages across the network. Many ISPs have agreements with providers of physical Internet backbone providers to offer Internet service over their networks for last mile-consumers and companies who need to get Internet connectivity. Internet protocols, followed by everyone in the network causes it to be possible for the data to flow without interruption, in the correct location at the right time.
While none of these organizations possesses the Internet collectively these companies decide how it operates, and recognized rules and standards that everyone stays. Contracts and legal framework that underlies all that is happening to ascertain how things work and what happens if something bad happens. To get a domain name, for example, one needs consent from a Registrar, which includes a contract with ICANN. To connect to the Internet, your ISP must be physical contracts with providers of Internet backbone services, and suppliers have contracts with IXPs from the Internet backbone for connecting to and with her. Concern over security problems? A working group is formed to work on the issue and the solution developed and deployed is in the interest of most parties. If the Internet is down, you have someone to phone to get it mended. If the problem is from your ISP, they in turn have contracts in position and service level agreements, which govern the manner in which these problems are resolved.
The benefit of cryptocurrency is that it uses blockchain technology. The network of nodes the make up the blockchain isn't governed by any focused firm. No one can tell the miners to update, speed up, slow down, stop or do anything. And that is something that as a devoted advocate badge of honor, and is identical to the way the Internet works. But as you understand now, public Internet governance, normalities and rules that govern how it works present inherent problems to the consumer. Blockchain technology has none of that.

You may run a search on the web. First learn, then models, indicators and most importantly practice looking at old charts and pick out trends. Anytime you commence to keep a trading diary screenshots and your comment/forecast. Precisely what is the best way to get confident with charts IMHO. Oh certainly, and don't fool yourself into thinking that you get the uptrend will never go lower! Always will go down! You will discover that incremental benefits are more reliable and profitable (most times)
It is definitely possible, but it must have the ability to comprehend opportunities regardless of market behaviour. The market moves in relation to price BTC … So even supposing it's in a BTC trend down can make money by buying the altcoins which are altcoin oversold trading ratios-BTC. Sure, your purchasing power in DOLLARS may be lower, but as long as your purchasing power in BTC is still growing you'll be fine.
It should be hard to get more little increases (~ 10%) throughout the day. Study how to read these Candlestick charts! And I discovered these two rules to be accurate: having modest increases is more lucrative than trying to fight up to the peak. Most day traders follow Candlestick, so it's better to have a look at books than wait for order confirmation when you believe the cost is going down. Secondly, there is more volatility and compensation in currencies that have not made it to the profitability of sites like Coinwarz.
Entrepreneurs in the cryptocurrency movement may be wise to research possibilities for making gigantic ammonts of cash with various kinds of online marketing.There could be a rich reward for anyone daring enough to brave the cryptocurrency markets.Bitcoin architecture provides an informative example of how one might make a lot of money in the cryptocurrency markets. Bitcoin is an outstanding intellectual and technical achievement, and it's generated an avalanche of editorial coverage and venture capital investment opportunities. But not many people understand that and lose out on quite profitable business models made accessible due to the growing use of blockchain technology.

Only a fraction of bitcoins issued so far are available on the exchange markets. Bitcoin markets are competitive, which means the price a bitcoin will rise or fall depending on supply and demand. Lots of people hoard them for long term savings and investment. This limits the amount of bitcoins that are actually circulating in the exchanges. Moreover, new bitcoins will continue to be issued for decades to come. Thus, even the most diligent buyer couldn't purchase all existing bitcoins. This situation is just not to suggest that markets are not exposed to price exploitation, yet there exists no requirement for big sums of money to move market prices up or down. The smallest occasions in the world market can affect the price of Bitcoin, This can make Bitcoin and any other cryptocurrency volatile.
Cryptocurrency is freeing people to transact cash and do business on their terms. Each user can send and receive payments in an identical way, but in addition they participate in more complicated smart contracts. Multiple signatures enable a transaction to be supported by the network, but where a certain number of a defined group of folks consent to sign the deal, blockchain technology makes this possible. This permits advanced dispute arbitration services to be developed in the foreseeable future. These services could enable a third party to approve or reject a transaction in the event of disagreement between the other parties without checking their cash. Unlike cash and other payment systems, the blockchain consistently leaves public proof that the transaction happened. This can be potentially used in a appeal against companies with deceptive practices.
Anyone can become a Bitcoin miner running applications with specialized hardware. Mining applications listen for transmission transactions on the peer-to-peer network and perform the appropriate tasks to process and confirm these transactions. Bitcoin miners do this because they are able to bring in transaction fees paid by users for faster transaction processing, and new bitcoins in existence are under denominated formulas.
Bitcoin is the primary cryptocurrency of the net: a digital money standard by which all other coins are compared to. Cryptocurrencies are distributed, international, and decentralized. Unlike traditional fiat currencies, there's no authorities, banks, or any regulatory agencies. As such, it really is more resistant to crazy inflation and tainted banks. The advantages of using cryptocurrencies as your method of transacting cash online outweigh the security and privacy hazards. Security and privacy can readily be reached by simply being bright, and following some basic guidelines. You wouldn't put your entire bank ledger online for the word to see, but my nature, your cryptocurrency ledger is publicized. This can be fastened by removing any identity of possession in the wallets and thus keeping you anonymous.
Since among the earliest forms of earning money is in money lending, it's a fact that you can do that with cryptocurrency. Most of the lending sites now focus on Bitcoin, Some of these sites you happen to be needed fill in a captcha after a certain period of time and are rewarded with a small quantity of coins for visiting them. You are able to visit the www.cryptofunds.co site to find some lists of of these sites to tap into the currency of your choice. Unlike forex, stocks and options, etc., altcoin marketplaces have very different dynamics. New ones are constantly popping up which means they do not have lots of market data and historical outlook for you to backtest against. Most altcoins have quite poor liquidity as well and it is hard to develop a fair investment strategy.

Anyway, I don't think I ever told you about our fence! We started it Labor Day weekend, and it took us about 2 months to get to a place where we could actually let the dogs out in the back yard. It's still not completely done. I still have to stain about 1/4 of it and the garden fence, but I think we did a pretty damn good job!
|First fence posts!
|Some of the rails are up!
|Other side of the yard, keeping out the Demon Bush!
|Side fence...the gate wasn't done yet
|Demon Bush
|Devil Thorns on the Demon Bush
|Add a little stain...

When I was in high school the school began requiring notes from the doctor or dentist when a student was going to be out of school for an appointment. I would never describe my mom as someone who is a rule breaker, but the idea that the school didn't trust a note from her, and required documentation from a doctor really ticked her off. I recall a note she wrote to the school saying I would be leaving school midday for a dental appointment and the note went something like this:
"Sheridan will be leaving school at 11am today for a dental appointment and THAT'S IT!"
At the time I thought little of it, but somehow the "THAT'S IT!" part of the note really strikes a chord with me today. It's a simple way to say, I don't want your opinion on the topic, I have made the final ruling, there will be no further discussion.
Dinner tonight is chicken pot pie, and THAT'S IT!
If your laundry isn't in the laundry basket it won't get washed, THAT'S IT!
Bedtime is 7:30, THAT'S IT!
No, I don't feel like cuddling tonight and THAT'S IT!
Yes, you need to pick up (insert child name) from (insert activity) and THAT'S IT!
Today I used these magical word when calling our health insurance company regarding hearing aid coverage for children, which no one seems to know about. When the nice lady offered to look into it and "get back to me real soon," I responded sweetly "That would be great, I expect to hear from you today though, and THAT'S IT!" It worked, she called me back 30 minutes later with loads of information. I firmly believe my "THAT'S IT!" made all the difference.
I recommend you practice different tones when you say these power packed words, play a little with volume and force and even tone, and be careful not to abuse them thus diminishing their effectiveness.
If you have some "magic" words that work for you, post comments and tell me what they are.

Sister... I, too, have had Mom write some pretty interesting notes for me. It IS ridiculous that the schools don't trust the parents anymore though... hmm... what is wrong with this situation?
I'm going to try the "THAT'S IT!" thing from now on. Although I generally get what I need when I use a firm tone and say "This is unacceptable... how are YOU going to fix this issue?"
I love you Miss Sheridan... I told you I read your blog! ;)

Sometimes there's nothing you can do but revel in a greasy chin and buttery fingers. I'm sorry, but the best way to eat these moreish fritters is with your hands. The dipping of them into salt or smearing them with sour cream is, of course, optional. Forget the side salad and just dive in straight from the sizzling pan, I say!
Of course I understand that not everyone is as unsophisticated as me, and as naughty as these delicious fritters might be, they can easily be sculpted into neat rounds and served with a delicate fresh salad for those of you with refined bones.
They are simple to make and brilliantly delicious while suitably fulfilling the meal trifecta of breakfast, lunch, and supper.
See this dish as part of a MEAL PLAN
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Makes: 10 fritters
3 cups raw, shredded butternut pumpkin
3 spring onions
handful of coriander
kernels from 1 corn cob
salt and pepper
1/2 cup strong cheese
3 eggs
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup rice/maize flour
1 tsp baking powder
salt and pepper
Grate the pumpkin and place in a large mixing bowl. Add to it the chopped spring onion and coriander, and the cooked kernels from one corn cob. Pour over the flour and baking powder and mix thoroughly so that all the vegetables are coated. Season the mixture well with salt and pepper.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 eggs and 1/4 cup of milk until slightly fluffy. Season. Add to this the grated cheese before pouring over the flour and vegetable mixture. Combine well.
In a large frying pan heat a little olive oil over a medium heat. Scoop a quarter cupful of the mixture into the pan per fritter and fry on each side for 3-4 minutes, or until they are crispy and golden, and slightly firm to the touch.
Tip: Don't rush them – once you have scooped them into the pan just let them rest there and give them a bit of time to settle and form a crust.
Delicious additions:
Chili, zucchini, prawns or chicken
Spice the fritters up with a Middle Eastern touch of toasted cumin
Serving suggestions:
Herby salad of parsley, mint and finely shredded red onion

How to make the most of a medicinal Vaporizer
In a previous LiftMJ blog I outlined some of the key reasons why medical cannabis patients may choose to use a vaporizer. In this article I will give an overview of the Volcano Medic vaporizer and offer an important tip that medical cannabis users should know.
The Volcano Medic vaporizer, the "world's first officially approved medical cannabinoid inhaler"(source), has been approved in Canada as a class 2 medical device for the vaporization of cannabinoids. The mouthpiece of the Volcano Medic is equipped with a check valve. This check valve reduces the danger of contaminating the interior of the valve balloon by preventing exhalation back into the valve balloon. For this reason the valve balloon can be reused for up to fourteen days, 5 times daily (Study). The cost can be reimbursed by health insurance companies if a medical indication is given. Storz and Bickel recommend customers/patients ask your personal health insurance institute if they will cover the cost. (source)
Another advantage of the Volcano Medic is its digital temperature display, although this is available in earlier models. The temperature gauges of vaporizers have varying degrees of accuracy, and some less sophisticated models require the user to pump the heat instead of sustaining it to avoid combustion. By targeting specific temperatures, medical users can vaporize only the medical compounds they require, avoiding un-necessary psychoactive effects and toxic by-products.
At the V-CBC, club member Ron Vanzetta is helping medical cannabis users discover how to make the most of a vaporizer. Using data from (Russo & McPartland 2001) and supplementing it with updated information gathered from Wikipedia and other sources, he has made graphs and charts of the approximate temperatures ranges at which specific cannabinoids and terpenes vaporize as well as for what conditions certain cannabinoids and terpenes are shown to help.
Courtesy of Ron W. Vanzetta: firstname.lastname@example.com ©2014
The dial is designed to fit the temperature gauge of the Volcano type vaporizer. From 7-9 o'clock it shows the approximate temperatures at which cannabinoids decarboxylate. From 9-2 o'clock it shows the temperatures at it which some of the major cannabinoids vaporize. At 3 o'clock Benzene, a toxic gas is introduced. Beyond that, there are a few remaining cannabinoids, and finally combustion.
To obtain THCA and other compounds that are decarboxylized at low heat by the vaporizer, it is necessary to eat the plant raw. This is often done by putting the raw leaves into a juicer; however, Health Canada requires patients not covered by the BC Supreme Court decision permitting extracts, ingest their dried cannabis whole. The temperature can be increased to include compounds such as THC and CBD but exclude CBN, which some people find makes them dizzy or lethargic. To obtain THCV and CBC, and avoid Benzene, it may be necessary to make vaporized material into an edible product.
Although our knowledge of these tools and the dynamic whole plant effects of cannabis are still developing, Ron's ingenuity and creativity represent the engaged and inquisitive spirit of medical cannabis users, who strive daily to improve their quality of life amidst widespread stigma and confusion. Ron has designed colourful tesseract balls that hang from the ceiling of the V-CBC vapour lounge, informing about the properties of different cannabinoids.

|The Anti-Police Terror Project & The Oakland Justice Coalition just started a petition to Oakland City Council Member Lynette Gibson McElhaney demanding that she:
Withdraw the nomination of Sarah Chavez-Yoell to the Oakland Police Commission's selection panel.
The Anti-Police Terror Project & The Oakland Justice Coalition just started a petition titled: "We demand REAL community oversight of the Oakland police department."
Here's why this is important:
Oaklanders need to be safe and secure, we need housing and job security, we need a city that spends it's budget on jobs for the youth, housing protections, and the arts. And we need a city that spends less money on the police. We need to be living in an Oakland where the OPD is held to the same level of responsibility as civilians and where residents have security in knowing that if they are victimized by the police, such as Jasmine Absulin was, that the OPD will be held accountable. Currently we do not live in this type of Oakland but we're ready to fight in order to create it!
In fighting for a better Oakland we're highlighting the egregious conflict of interest that currently exists within the Oakland Police Commission, an oversight panel that is supposed to keep the police in check. We deserve a police commission that can objectively analyze the misconduct of officers and a selection panel, currently chaired by Sarah Chavez-Yoell, the wife of a violent officer is a conflict of interest that residents can not afford.
Marvin, join us in demanding Sarah Chavez-Yoell, wife of a known violent officer, Lieutenant Mike Yoell, be removed from the Oakland Police Commission immediately!
In Oakland, we know far too well the outcomes of an unchecked police force. From the COINTELPRO attacks of the 1960s, the current Negotiated Settlement Agreement stemming from the Rider's case, and the more recent child rape case of Jasmine Absulin (also known as Celeste Guap), accounts of corruption, scandal, and violence are all too familiar and can have deadly outcomes.
When elected officials at the highest levels of city government know what's going on but turn a blind eye to police abuse bad outcomes will occur. Oakland officials ignore the intrinsic criminality of police behavior while calling for more cops to address crime on the street. It is the height of hypocrisy.
The Oakland Police Commission is supposed to address the lack of oversight of the Oakland Police Department. It is supposed to put civilians in roles to hold the department accountable for misconduct. But how does this occur when the selection panel appointed to choose commissioners has a bias toward violent officers?
District 3 City Council Member Lynette Gibson McElhaney's recent appointment of Sarah Chavez-Yoell to the police commission raises considerable red flags. Chavez-Yoell is the wife of former OPD Lieutenant Mike Yoell, an officer with numerous incidents of violence. His "checkered past" includes excessive force, hitting a teen with a car, sexual harassment and "many other high-profile incidents".
The commission used to hold Oakland police accountable cannot consist of people that sympathize with and are married to violent officers. We demand a fair and just police oversight commission and for this to happen Sarah Chavez-Yoell must go!
The Anti Police-Terror Project and the Oakland Justice Coalition request your support in demanding that Oakland City Councilmember Lynette Gibson McElhaney:
Thank You,
Anti Police-Terror Project & The Oakland Justice Coalition
Join us and start your own petition on OrganizeFor today!
Color Of Change is building a movement to elevate the voices of Black folks and our allies, and win real social and political change. Help keep our movement strong.
