Provincial Synod votes on Israel sanctions, anti-Semitism, Islamophobia
Provincial Synod votes on Israel sanctions, anti-Semitism, Islamophobia
Provincial Synod has voted to support
non-violent action to end Israel's military occupation of Palestine, especially
"well-directed Boycott, Divestment and Sanction actions".
In a resolution adopted on Thursday, Synod also:
- Condemned "all forms of anti-Semitism and Islamophobia… in the strongest terms";
- Described the situation in Israel and Palestine as "in some respects… worse than apartheid"; and
- Urged church members who travel on pilgrimages to Israel include Palestinian Christians in their itineraries.
The full text of the resolution, which was adopted unanimously, follows:
This Synod noting that:
1. This is the 10th year anniversary of the Palestine Kairos document, a document written by Palestinian Christians for our reflection and action (www.kairospalestine.ps);
2. The South African government has withdrawn its ambassador from Tel Aviv;
3. It is reported that each year a few hundred Palestinian children are held in Israeli jails and there is evidence of human rights violation.
4. Prime Minister Netanyahu has recently said that "Israel is not a state of all its citizens", a statement which accurately reflects the nation-state law they adopted in 2018;
5. There is considerable environmental damage through injustice in the access to and distribution of water, the uprooting of olive trees and home demolitions, which in turn has led to environmental displacement, adding to the already large number of refugees.
Acknowledging that:
1. The situation in the Holy Land demands the attention of the Christian church precisely because that is the place where Jesus the Christ was born, nurtured, crucified and raised;
2. The current political nation state of Israel and Israel in the Bible should not be confused with each other, and neither should the ideology of Zionism and the religion of Judaism be conflated;
3. Many Christian pilgrimages to the current state of Israel often ignore the Christians living in Palestine;
4. Israel was one of the very few states that continued to support the Apartheid State in South Africa until the very end;
5. There are possible similarities between Apartheid in South Africa and what is happening in Israel and Palestine and that in some respects the situation there can be described as worse than apartheid;
6. Several NGO's draw attention to the plight of those who suffer in Palestine and Israel, especially Kairos Southern Africa as well as the Ecumenical Accompaniment Programme in Palestine and Israel (EAPPI), for whose work we are grateful;
7. Southern Africans have a special responsibility to stand by the oppressed in the same way that others in the international community stood with us during our own oppression.
Affirming that
1. Palestinians and Israelis both deserve to live in peace and harmony as this will contribute to peace not only in that region, but globally;
2. Non-violent solutions underpinned by faith, hope and love, to the challenges there are the only solutions that the Church should actively pursue;
3. Current efforts by the International community are not enough and new initiatives towards peace, justice and reconciliation should be pursued;
4. The presence of the Christian community in Palestine and Israel is something that we should strengthen;
5. The military occupation of Palestine must end as soon as possible;
6. All forms of anti-Semitism and Islamophobia should be condemned in the strongest terms;
7. Jerusalem should be a place where all the nations are able to gather and it should not be for the exclusive use of one group over another.
Resolves to:
1. Encourage every Diocese within ACSA to pass this or a similar resolution at its next Synod and to work with the South African Council of Churches and its affiliates who have adopted resolutions on Palestine and Israel to seek ecumenical action towards maximum justice and peace for our sisters and brothers there;
2. Educate and inform ourselves as much as possible on the daily reality of the situation and to encourage members of ACSA who travel in the Holy Land to choose an inclusive and balanced itinerary that includes establishing contact with Palestinian Christians;
3. Support any non-violent action, especially well-directed Boycott, Divestment and Sanction actions against the Israeli state until they end their military occupation of Palestine.
4. Pray the following prayer for Palestine: "God bless Palestine, Free all from oppression; and bring justice and peace. Amen.";
5. Respectfully request ACSA delegates to Lambeth 2020 to pass this resolution on to the Anglican Communion Office for possible consideration and inclusion in the Lambeth 2020 Agenda.
6. To respectfully request ACSA to appoint a Palestinian Study Group to prepare and disseminate study material for use in parishes and dioceses and that will prepare a report on the progress of implementing this resolution at the next Provincial Synod;
7. Pass this resolution on to the Ambassadors of Palestine and Israel who are based in Southern African countries as well as to the Palestinian church leaders, SABEEL and Kairos Palestine.

Province asked to pay Growing the Church director's stipend in future
Province asked to pay Growing the Church director's stipend in future
Provincial Synod has voted to ask the Provincial Finance Board to pay the stipend of the director of Growing the Church in future Provincial budgets.
Explaining the import of a resolution before the Synod, Archbishop Thabo Makgoba, President of the Synod, explained that the Finance Board would have to consider the request for 2021 at the earliest. The budget for the Common Provincial Fund for 2020 had already been approved when the resolution was discussed.
The resolution that was passed, with some opposition and a number of abstentions, read as follows:
ACSA to cover the cost of the GtC Director's stipend in future.
This Synod noting:
1. ACSA established Growing the Church as a Provincial Ministry, contributing to the basic mission and ministry of the Church;
2. Growing the Church was added to the CPF Budget at the request of Provincial Synod of 2007;
3. Growing the Church, through Anglicans Ablaze Conferences, The LEAD programme and its other programmes is making an enormous contribution to ACSA;
4. Growing the Church is increasingly being established in the Dioceses, but a central coordinating function is essential;
5. Growing the Church is already raising about 60 – 70% of its budget from sources other than the Common Provincial Fund for mission and ministry activities;
Resolves to:
Request the Provincial Finance Board to include at least the stipend package of the Growing the Church Director in its future budgeting.

Synod of Bishops Communique
To the beloved People of God,
Grace and peace to you!
The Synod of Bishops met in Kopanong, Benoni, from Monday 23 to Tuesday 24 September 2019. The Synod was preceded by the meeting of the Electoral College for the Diocese of Mzimvubu, where the Rt Revd Tsietsi Seleoane, currently Suffragan Bishop of Natal, was elected as Bishop of Mzimvubu.
Synod began with the celebration of the Eucharist, where we heard a refreshing homily from the Rt Revd Steve Moreo, Bishop of Johannesburg, on the passage in the book of Ezra about the return of Israel. Ezra's ministry, to help a people returning to rebuild, renew and reform their social, religious and physical lives, resonated well with the commitment of ACSA – expressed in the theme of Provincial Synod – to review, renew and restore with a view to reconnecting our faith to our daily lives.
The Archbishop welcomed the Bishop of Port Elizabeth, the Rt Revd Eddie Daniels, and Bishop-elect Luke Pretorius of the Diocese of St Mark the Evangelist, who were attending Synod for the first time. Also in attendance were two Vicars-General, the Ven Keith de Vos from Cape Town and the Very Revd Tanki Mofana from Lesotho.
Synod met against the backdrop of confusion in the South African political landscape, of fresh outbreaks of xenophobic attacks against fellow Africans from other nations and of renewed activism over the scourge of violence against women, children and other vulnerable people. This situation is very disturbing and cause for major concern, and we endorse our Archbishop's appeal to the Church to join civil society in mobilising to end these evils.
We urge girls in our Church to demand an end to the way in which too many boys and men in our society treat women. We urge boys to set an example to the rest of society by treating all, especially girls and women, with respect, dignity and compassion. Let Anglican youth groups throughout our Province become renowned for being safe spaces in which young women feel valued and young men are admired in their communities for their caring and respectful treatment of girls and women.
We also urge people in our parishes to stand up for other vulnerable people such as migrants in South Africa. As disciples of Christ we are bound to be sensitive to God's people who happen to come from outside our borders. We condemn the violence meted out against them, we express our condolences to those who have lost members of their families and we share our prayers for the traumatised.
We remind all of the words of Joshua: "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go."
In our discussions on situations outside South Africa, our hearts were warmed as we heard the good news of the successful peace initiatives in Mozambique and prayed for that country as they prepare for elections.
Bishops shared the sadness and pain around the resignation of the Bishop of Natal, the Right Revd Dino Gabriel. The Bishops accepted his resignation and resolved to show their love, care and support for the Diocesan family and for Bishop Dino and his family. The Bishops resolved that Pastoral Letters on the situation should be sent to the Diocese and to the Bishop.
Further reflection ensued on the Diocese of Zululand, where the Rt Revd Monument Makhanya resigned last year. The Archbishop reported that he had asked the Archbishop of the Province of Central Africa to minister to Bishop Makhanya for three months. The Vicars-General of the Diocese, retired Bishop Funginkosi Mbhele and Canon Hamilton Mbatha, will continue their ministry of oversight and pastoral care in the Diocese.
Synod discussed ways of ministering to the Rt Revd Adam Taaso, the Bishop of Lesotho, who has suffered an incapacitating stroke, and his family. In consultation with the Diocese, it was agreed that he should go on retirement with effect from 31 January 2020.
We noted that no women clergy have recently been elected as bishops and agreed that there should be an intentional effort to investigate why this is the case. The Archbishop has established a commission to do this work.
A report was presented by Lay Canon Rosalie Manning on ensuring a Safe & Inclusive Church in which no one suffers abuse of any kind. Professor Barney Pityana presented a preliminary report on the Archbishop's Commission on the College of the Transfiguration. We also heard a report on the Archbishop's Commission on Human Sexuality. All three reports were scheduled to go before Provincial Synod.
Synod also discussed the issue of clergy who are active card-carrying members of political parties. It was agreed that the practice should not be encouraged as it has potential to polarise congregations. We also reflected on the way in which we could emphasise the importance of saving the environment by moving towards holding paperless synods. Bishops also expressed concern for the sustainability of HOPE Africa.
The Bishops bade farewell to Bishop Oswald Swartz, Bishop of Kimberley and Kuruman as he goes on retirement. Bishop Ossie was thanked for his wonderful episcopal ministry in ACSA.
We commend you to God's love and keeping and ask you to remember us in prayer as we meet in Provincial Synod to discern God's will as we grapple with some of the critical issues that face us as Church.
"To him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy — to the only God our Saviour be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen." — Jude 24-25
Homily for Day Two of Provincial Synod 2019
Thursday 26 September
Provincial Synod
Day 2, Homily 2
Esther 7:1-10
- There seemed to be renewed hope for Esther and her people after she acted. When have you been called upon to act and did you? What hindered you from acting?
- How is your worshipping community exploring renewed ways of inclusion for those who feel excluded?
- What kind of power dynamics are at play in the spaces in which you find yourselves? Think especially of the recent events in our country.
by Natalie Simons Arendse[Available as a PDF]
Yesterday I concluded the homily with the words: "Everyday life for us should include reflection and review of how we can live abundant lives in Jesus Christ.
What does it mean to live an abundant life? We read in chapter 7 that Esther pleads for her life and that of her people. She says that if they had been sold into slavery it would not have been as bad; but they are going to be eliminated as a people. What is really happening in the palace? Let's review..
Esther, although she is queen has no real authority without her identity in her husband the king. She is a foreigner, she is not safe in her own home, her title doesn't mean anything as she pleads for her life. Haman doesn't observe the protocol of keeping his distance from Esther and as soon as the word molest leaves the king's lips; the blood drains from Haman's face. If Esther had screamed the words; would it have had the same effect on Haman?
Is Esther enjoying an abundant life? Are we enjoying abundant lives? As we listen to the experiences and the horror of gender-based violence in our homes, at work and in our churches; we hear that they do not enjoy abundant lives.
Why is there a need to establish a safe church commission if all God's people are offered abundant lives in Jesus Christ? Do you feel safe in your home, in your church; when sharing the peace?
The Jews living in Persia as exiles and foreigners do not enjoy an abundant life. They have had to integrate their cultural practices; their worship and dietary rules are compromised, and they are heavily taxed. The Jewish women and girls are also taken into the palace to become concubines of the king; they too must plead for their lives. Those who have been violated and killed because of the genocide taking place against our women and children right now; also pleaded for their lives. Uyenena pleaded for her life while she was raped and killed in the Post Office, metres away from the Police Station.
The king promises Esther anything up to half of his kingdom. That would seem to be very generous, but there are conditions that come with such promises. Esther will always just be the king's wife; she is not affirmed in her own right.
In his charge the Metropolitan called on the church to create a new culture, a culture of inclusion and acceptance. We are fearful of what this could mean. Change creates uncertainty and upsets the power struggles that are at play in the spaces in which we find ourselves. Fear of the unknown creates suspicion and mistrust amongst us while the most vulnerable members of our communities are affected by our fear of what change could bring.
We claim that we celebrate our diversity because it makes us stronger, but we struggle to accept diversity in all levels of our lives. We are God's people and we are gifted differently but finding expression in that difference hinders us to live abundant lives because we are afraid.
What are we afraid of? Why do we limit the women's ministries in the church to raise funds, but they don't get consulted on how the money is used? Why do we say that children need to learn to behave in church and then we send them out as soon as the worship has finished to go to children's church? Why is it that whenever our 2 female bishops are in the same space; do they have to share that space? How is that affirming?
Jesus promises that he will be with us until the end of the age; so, what are we afraid of?
The church is facing a Kairos moment, what is moving us, where is the Spirit of God blowing the Anglican Church of Southern Africa? What is before us that needs to be renewed so that we can live abundant lives in Jesus Christ?
Haman is hung on his own gallows and Esther is given a renewed opportunity to live an abundant life. BUT not really.
She is not the liberator of her people as we have come to read and accept. Esther cannot undo the decree that was sent out to the Jews in the kingdom of their annihilation. The king is going to have to write a new law.
Esther is not going to be able to release the women who have been taken against their will to be concubines in the palace. Only the king can make that decision. Esther is going to be given Haman's property, but she will not be able to own it and Mordecai is going to have to oversee it on her behalf.
God is not mentioned by name in the book of Esther, but we know that no person would be able to come up against the kind of misuse of power that Esther had to without the Spirit of God hovering over her.
Let me put it another way..
Behind every successful man is a woman and we know that behind every woman is a powerful God and She is at work in a mighty way!
Homily for Day One of Provincial Synod 2019
Wednesday 25 September
Provincial Synod
Day 1, Homily 1
- What are the things that we are currently reviewing and what should we be reviewing as ACSA?
- Part of reviewing is to be honest about our failures. How did King Xerxes fail Mordecai? How have we failed those who are seeking refuge?
- If we are serious about reviewing and reflecting; who should we be reflecting with? Who is invited to the discussion?
A quick walk through Esther in 2019
by Natalie Simons Arendse[Available as a PDF]
Esther's parents had been killed and she was being raised by her older cousin Mordecai. They did not return to Jerusalem after the exile and made their home in Persia. Her real name is Hadassah but because she lived in a foreign place she took a foreign name.
The Persian King Xerxes is a weak leader who is advised by a group of "leaders" who have their own ideas of how the kingdom should be run. When the king's first wife Vashti refuses to degrade herself by parading her beauty and her body for the king's advisors and friends; they recommend that she is dethroned as queen and that a beauty contest of all the virgins in the kingdom; Persians and foreigners be held in order for the king to choose another queen.
The women are rounded up like cattle and treated to beauty treatments and feasts while living in the palace; getting ready for their one night with the King. Yes, the king will choose the next queen by sleeping with each virgin who has been taken from her family and brought to the palace against her will to be part of the King's harem.
Esther finds herself in the palace part of the King's harem. Mordecai works in the palace as a scribe and is able to communicate with her via the servants. Esther is chosen as the next queen and soon a plot to assassinate the king is uncovered by Mordecai. The plot is averted and recorded in the journals of kingdom, but Mordecai is not acknowledged for this.
Meanwhile Haman; a descendant of the Aggegite tribe; a tribe whom God had ordered to be destroyed; finds his way into the advisory council of the king. He has an encounter with Mordecai who refuses to bow down to him and he makes it his mission to have Mordecai killed. Haman creates rumours about foreigners who are living in the kingdom; who follow their own laws; who are not loyal to the king. Tensions rise and soon the king succumbs to pressure from Haman; he signs a decree; giving the Jews 3 months to leave Persia or be killed.
Mordecai informs Esther of the decree and reminds her that she did not come to be placed in the palace to protect herself; perhaps she had become queen for such a time as this. Esther is afraid of what could happen if she breaks with the protocols of arriving unsummoned to speak to the king; but she is convicted and responds… if I perish; I perish.
Esther is granted an audience with the king and she invites him and Haman to a banquet. They attend and the king inquires of Esther what she wants; offering her anything up to half the kingdom. Esther responds by asking the king and Haman to attend another banquet the following day. The king agrees. And this is where our lectionary reading begins today.
The king cannot sleep and asks for the journals to be read. Here he learns that Mordecai had averted his assassination. He wants to good by Mordecai.. he wants everything to stay the same. Let's throw another party for the man who saved the king's life.
By reviewing the book of Esther; we must read it through different lenses and perspectives. What is the story behind the story? We cannot continue to read and preach the dominant narrative of Esther through the lens of a young Jewish woman who saved her people because she was obedient to God.
Considering what has happened in and around our country and its borders in the last few weeks; we cannot read Esther and conclude that it was a happy ending. There is human trafficking in the story of Esther, young women are taken away from their families against their will. There is exploitation of the vulnerable; women and foreigners. The Jews are living in Persia as second class citizens. There is patriarchy and weak leadership; as the king seeks advice from people who want to maintain the status quo and there is political instability because the king just wants to throw a party for any occasion.
By reviewing where we are as ACSA; we cannot continue to preach the dominant narrative of complacency. We must review and we must lament. We must lament for the way in which we
have failed God's people, women and children, queer and divorced. We must lament for the environment.
But we cannot only lament; we must act. We are reviewing our policies and using inclusive language, but when will we invite other voices to be part of our decision-making processes? We must review who the people are that have the power to change our policies; maybe that group of people needs to be more diverse? Maybe more young people must be invited to the table?
Sunday's gospel reading of the dishonest manager pushes us to look not only at the dishonesty of the manager but at the critical way in which he devised his plan to not get caught out. We need to think critically, and we need diverse voices and ages to contribute to our conversations and decisions. In his charge yesterday the Archbishop urged us to be a more inclusive church; not only on paper but in practice. He called on politicians to stop fighting and to start leading; when will we stop fighting about whether women are good enough to be deans and bishops and start electing them as deans and bishops?
Esther is the only book in the bible that does not mention God by name; one author describes God as being conspicuous by God's absence in the book of Esther. Where is God in the midst of what is happening with Esther. As Jesus followers our hope is in a God who uses the mundane events of everyday life to accomplish God's kingdom. Everyday life for us should include reflection and review of how we can live abundant lives in Jesus Christ.

Makgoba: Lambeth 2020 boycotts will not help anyone
The Archbishop of Capetown speaks to Anli Serfontein

Bishop Patrick Matolengwe dies, aged 82
The Right Revd Dr Patrick Monwabisi Matolengwe, a former Bishop Suffragan of Cape Town, a former Dean of Milwaukee in the United States, a former senior official of the SA Council of Churches, and an assistant bishop in a number of dioceses, has died in Johannesburg.
He died peacefully at the Helen Joseph Hospital, said a notice from the Provincial Executive Office at Bishopscourt.
"He died surrounded by his wife, Sapho, and children. The funeral will be held in his home town, Graaff-Reinet, at a date to be announced once family has finalized the arrangements," the notice added.
Bishop Matolengwe was born in Graaff-Reinet, trained as a teacher at Lovedale and then turned to the ministry. He served in both rural and urban areas, notably at Nyanga in Cape Town.
His ministry in Cape Town coincided with the crises caused by the apartheid government when it tried to enforce the pass laws by repeatedly destroying people's homes in informal settlements and forcibly removing the wives and children of migrant workers to the Eastern Cape.
He served as Bishop Suffragan of Cape Town in the time of Archbishops Philip Russell and Desmond Tutu, and in 1988 moved to Milwaukee in Wisconsin. There he was first appointed Dean of All Saints Cathedral and then Assisting Bishop in the diocese of Milwaukee.
He continued his theological studies in the United States, earning a Master's degree in Theological Studies at Nashotah House seminary in 1992 and a Doctor of Ministry degree at the United Theological Seminary in Dayton, Ohio in 1996. Nashotah House also conferred on him the degree of Doctor of Divinity (honoris causa).
After returning home, he led the work of the South African Council of Churches in co-ordinating its work with that of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
After retiring he served in the Parish of St. Phillip's, Graaff-Reinet, and as Assisting Bishop in the Diocese of Kimberley and Kuruman. Latterly, he has assisted at the parish of Christ the King in Sophiatown.
This report was updated after first publication with the detail of Bishop Matolengwe's educational qualifications in the U.S., which were kindly supplied by his family.

< back || < previous poem | next poem >
Part of the bedtime ritual for me, in winter,
is to go out and get a couple of big chunks
to set on the hearth to dry out well,
tomorrow night's bedtime logs, all-nighters,
or at least far into it,
for the fire to transform
to ashes by morning.
Tonight I forgot, so there I was
comfortable in bed in my non-existent pajamas,
and I remembered that I'd forgotten,
and I thought about how cold it was out there
in the silent night, below zero,
out on the porch where the wood rack sits.
But I decided to do it, get up and walk out
(I have no bathrobe),
and I grabbed two thick logs
and knocked off the powder of snow
that had blown in under the porch roof,
and I stood there naked and barefoot
on the snowy deck, whoo!—
and carried them inside.
It was a good idea, really cold, dark, and brief.

Uber Driver Goes INSANE On Annoying Drunk Girls
I just don't get how anyone could be this rude. The girl walked in extremely angry and sassy but the driver reacted terribly as well.
I don't side with anyone in this.
HONESTLY I had to get an uber at the US Bank Arena and he went to the complete opposite side of my location because it was closer to him. I walked ALL the way around the area and when I got there he drove away. So I get being angry with Uber but I would never talk like this....EVER.

A typical early summer antipasto at Valle Nuova, this one is perfect for vegetarians and meat-eaters alike.
Frittata con le vitalbe (foraged Clematis Vitalba. Old man's beard or Traveller's joy), local organic pecorino cheese, home made sweet and sour pickled cucumbers and quince jam, home made cured black olives.
WARNING FOR FORAGERS: If you have never collected Traveller's joy, please make sure that you only collect the very young tops… or do not collect it, just in case… some parts of this plant are slightly poisonous.
WARNING FOR ITALIAN LOVERS: it's "ANTIPASTO" not antipasti (unless it's more than one) or antipasta (it does not have anything to do with pasta, but with "pasto", meal, it means that it's the course that goes before or at the beginning (anti-) of the meal (-pasto).

from what I can tell, the book has some recipes from the blog, but a lot of new ones.
some that were in the blog got "upgraded" - for instance, her blog had a warm white bean salad with walnut oil
the book shows a similar recipe, but it calls for a walnut pesto instead, so it is a little more sophisticated. The description of the tarbais beans is also similar, but more detailed and well written in the book.
there are recipes I recognize and made before - like her zucchini carpaccio with raspberry vinegar.
still, it is nice to have the book, the pictures have the same high quality of the blog, her writing style is the same, refreshing to read, a lot of fun

What is Scouting?
Scouting is a remarkable movement that brings amazing benefits and enjoyment to everyone involved – children, leaders, parents and everyone involved with the running of the group.
Through adventure, we help our scouts develop team-work skills, friendships, confidence, independence, responsibility and a 'can do' attitude to help prepare them for the wider world.
Everyone in our group takes part in many adventures & activities at weekly evening meetings, weekend activities in the term, and week-long summer camps (for the older sections). In a typical year, we will go climbing, cycling, caving, hammocking, canyonning, hiking, canoeing, abseiling, kayaking, swimming, fire-lighting, community visits, craft activities, raft building and many many more adventures.
Who is Scouting for?
Some people think Scouts is just for boys – it's not – we have loads of girls too!
Be Prepared... the meaning of the motto is that a scout must prepare himself by previous thinking out and practicing how to act on any accident or emergency so that he is never taken by surprise.
Robert Baden-Powell
What we have been up to.
We have a very active programme in place.

Take another look at CCF's online symposium on intimate partner violence.
This year, as was the case in 2015 when CCF convened experts on intimate partner violence, we continue to see a marked increase in attention to rape and sexual assault, especially on college campuses, by the media, local authorities, and the White House. The new focus on this problem is beneficial, but its persistence in recent cases is troubling.
History of rates of crime and intimate partner violence
The Council on Contemporary Families Online Symposium on Intimate Partner Violence, reports a decline in IPV that parallels a decline in violent crime overall in the United States. Nevertheless, the series explains, while rapes and sexual assaults may be declining, they are still undercounted. Furthermore, while rates of IPV are unacceptably high on college campuses, those rates are even higher among women not enrolled in four-year colleges.
CCF director of research and education Stephanie Coontz writes in her introduction, "Violent crime has been falling in the United States for more than two decades, after rising sharply between the mid-1970s and 1993. In 2013 the murder rate was lower than any time since the records began in 1960, while violent crimes in general were at their lowest point since 1970."
Is the decline in violent crime reflected in rates of IPV? Two reports in the series answer yes. Samuel Walker (University of Nebraska) indicates in "Interpersonal Violence and the Great Crime Drop" that "Between 1993 and 2010 IPV fell by 64 percent." CCF intern Jessica Wheeler's examination of the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) in "A Review of National Crime Victim Victimization Findings on Rape and Sexual Assault" suggests that rates have been declining since 1973–with important caveats such as the NCVS's neglect of military populations.
Undercounting on college campuses – and neglecting women who aren't in school
In a detailed study of "Sexual Assault on Campus" University of Michigan scholars Elizabeth Armstrong and Jamie Budnick explain that while rates of IPV are declining, these rates are systematically underestimated – and have been from the beginning of IPV data collection.
For example, Armstrong and Budnick report, a national panel of researchers unanimously concluded that the NCVS techniques "likely inhibit reporting of assaults. Studies have consistently shown that many women do not label as 'rape' or define as criminal many sexual incidents that are unwanted and meet standards of forcible rape." In addition, the way the NCVS is collected does not ensure privacy. "The interviewer is required to question everyone 12 and older at designated households, which means that all residents know what others are being asked. These oral interviews may be overheard," which can inhibit people's responses about controversial issues, explain the authors. Their report includes a detailed overview of data sources on sexual assault so that readers can examine the strengths and weaknesses of available data directly.
How common is IPV? The authors cite surveys ranging from a low of 14 to a high of 25 percent, which suggests that "the 1 in 5 statistic so frequently quoted is reasonable, even though inexact. The two most comparable recent surveys—the CSA and OCSLS [see data sources] — converge on a figure of 25 to 26 percent of college women experiencing sexual assault while in college."
Jennifer Barber and colleagues, also at the University of Michigan, report in "Women not Enrolled in Four-Year Universities and Colleges Have Higher Risk of Sexual Assault" about a detailed study of college-aged women first collected in 2008. The Relationship Dynamics and Social Life Study (RDSL) found that women who never attended or dropped out of 4-year colleges — a group that on average comes from lower-income backgrounds — reported slightly higher rates of IPV. What's more, these women were more likely to have a history of IPV (21 percent of non-college women versus 13 percent of college women in their study) and less likely to report that their friends and family would be supportive if they reported instances of rape or domestic violence. "There appears to be a higher incidence of, and tolerance for, such violence among the disadvantaged than among the privileged," Barber and colleagues conclude. Since IPV has serious long-range health consequences for women, they report, this makes it all the more important "that the care and consideration we are giving sexual assault on college campuses must be extended off campus.
Stephanie Coontz returns to the bigger picture when she argues in her overview that while progress toward gender equality and mutual respect continues, women's rejection of the double standard has risen faster than men's. Despite the decline in forcible assaults, there may be new ways in which women are vulnerable to predatory or exploitative young men. "Today's young women feel safer than earlier generations in openly expressing their erotic interests, and many do so without incurring the stigma or shame that used to be heaped on women who expressed their sexuality. Women also feel a new entitlement to drink alcohol and to party hard without being assaulted or taken advantage of. And they should be so entitled. But not all men have caught up with the new values that give women the right to say yes and the right to say no. There are subgroups of men, especially in settings that encourage rowdy masculine bonding, who still feel a sense of sexual entitlement, including some who actively attempt to incapacitate women with drugs or alcohol."

When you plan to sell your house in Punta Gorda, there's something you can do to help sell it faster and for more money—it's called home staging.
Think of your house as a date. Would you want to go out to a fancy dinner with someone who wasn't wearing a shirt or pants? No. Would you want to date someone who dressed well, and looked great? Yes.
Your house is going to have a hard time selling in Punta Gorda if it's an outdated, cluttered mess. And if you decide to remove all your stuff, like couches and appliances, so that the place looks empty, that's also going to discourage potential buyers.
Your house should look like a home—a showplace kind of home. You want people to want to live there, right? If you lack a decorator's eye, you can hire a professional home stager to help you improve the overall look of your house for sale.
Home staging can involve furnishings you already own, or, in some cases, things can be brought in—temporarily—to "fill in the gaps" and/or catch people's attention.
Ideally, you want your house to have "the wow factor." You want people to say "wow" when they come give it a look. People need to be able to imagine themselves living there.

The movie performed worst than some of the other newcomer films in the recent past but with a lack of proper publicity that was always going to be on the cards for the movie.

I've attached the court letter. It states I agreed to pay within 28 days but I have had made no contact with the company whatsoever. I paid £4 for 12 hours parking at around 15.45 and left at 22.46. The only rule of theirs I have contravened is taking more than 10 minutes to pay after arriving. They have made no loss. And here is the original PCN. It clearly states that the charge is failing to purchase a pay and display ticket within the 10 minute grace period. Am I right in presuming that the 10 minute grace period contravention indicates that they know I've paid? As I didn't know there was a problem on the night, I didn't keep the ticket, but if they were claiming I hadn't paid at all, would that be stated in the Contravention of Terms or Conditions box? Just another detail, in the particulars it states the car park is 'Vulcans Lane Work'. That should read 'Workington'.
I received a 'letter before claim' from Gladstones on March 6th 2019. I did not respond and have now received a letter from County Court Business Centre asking for £239. I am not willing to pay this as I feel I paid for 12 hours parking and the dispute over not paying in the first 10 minutes unreasonable. I understand I shouldn't ignore the court letter, but can anyone recommend how I should proceed. I'm happy to go to court. Thanks in advance.
Thanks all for the replies, and thanks Mrs O'Frog for the images. I've been working away and returned to a third letter. I've attached all three and hopefully I've finally got the hang of blocking out ALL my personal details! Sorry dx100uk! The letter states I arrived at 15.27 and left at 22.46. I paid £4 which covered me for 12 hours. It was dark and raining heavily (no excuse) so I didn't stand and read the signs. I only had £3 in change so went off to get another pound. I was delayed in the local theatre cafe as there was no one serving. I gave up and went into the theatre and borrowed £1 from one of my colleagues. This obviously took more than 10 minutes. I went back and paid the £4, giving me 12 hours of parking time. At present I cannot find the ticket, which is annoying as I always keep my tickets for expense claims. But, as the charge letter clearly states the charge is for failing to display a ticket within 10 minutes, they are not claiming that I didn't pay for parking. parkcharge 3.pdf
So if there's no PoFA 2012 mentioned in the paperwork, then it's non compliant, therefore invalid? And now time has passed so too late for them anyway?
Sorry, I'll try again with the images.! The dates are 8/12/18 Date of parking 12/12/18 First letter sent 14/01/19 Second letter sent parkcharge.pdf
No problem. It seems so petty that it's almost hard to believe. But they're just out to get money I suppose. So in your opinion, just sit tight?
Hi dx100uk. Thanks for following this. I'm not sure how to check if they have planning permission. To clarify my query, I paid for parking for the time required. I didn't pay as soon as I arrived as I didn't have change. I went and got change from the theatre near by but it took more than 10 minutes. I returned to the car park, entered my registration, paid the full amount, put my ticket on the dashboard, did my job and left. The only thing I can see I contravened was the 10 minute grace period to pay at the beginning. The ANPR saw me arrive, and the machine accepted my payment after the 10 minute grace period, but with no warning that I had broken a rule. The charge doesn't state that I didn't pay, just that I didn't pay within the first ten minutes. I definitely paid. parkcharge.pdf
Mrs O'Frog, I can see the roadside sign on Google Street and it looks like theres a 10 minute warning there. If possible, a shot of the sign at the pay area would be useful. Thanks very much.
Thanks for the photo offer Mrs O'Frog. I'm from Chester so that would be appreciated. Regarding the charge, I did pay for my stay in full and some. The issue was I took longer than 10 minutes from arrival to paying. Am I missing something?
Thanks. I'll re upload the letters with the references removed. I don't understand why it has nothing to do with the 10 minute grace period. I thought the charge was because I'd taken longer than 10 minutes after arrival to pay for parking. It was dark and raining heavily and I didn't read the small print. I struggled to find change within 10 minutes.
Here is a copy of the two letters received. parkcharge-compressed.pdf
Hi, new to the forum, thanks in advance. The PCN came though the post, ANPR capture, no ticket. Date of infringement 08/12/2018. NTK was issued on 12/12/2019 for £60. I've been working away, so effectively ignored it. I received a Keeper Liability Notice on 16/01/2019 but I was still away and have just returned and opened it (28/01/2019). Schedule 4 Protections of freedoms Act is mentioned. I have made no contact with them. The parking company is HX Carpark Management Ltd The car park address is Vulcans Lane Car Park, Vulcans Lane, Workington, Cumbria CA14 2BP They operate under the Independent Appeals Service. The charge is for failing to purchase a ticket within 10 minutes of arriving at the car park. I was working at the theatre near by and went to get change from the theatre shop. It took longer than 10 minutes. I'm trying to find the payment ticket. I think my employer has it. I'm chasing him now. Any advice on the best course of action would be appreciated. Today 28/01/19 is the deadline for the £100 payment, according to their rules. Thanks.

MARK MILLAR Launches COSPLAY Contest
Mark Millar is inviting fans to participate in a cosplay competition based on characters from his creator-owned series such as Huck, Kick-Ass and Chrononauts.
"I love cosplay. Number one, it's fun, which should be the fundamental thing the business is about," said Millar. "Number two, I love the fact it's brought so many people into comics who would otherwise not have been into the convention scene in particular. I know people have cosplayed for two years before they picked up their first book and now they're hooked. That can only be a good thing. But I also love the craft of it, the effort cosplayers go to and how these pictures have become an art-form in themselves."
Open now through May 1, fans are invited to dress up as their favorite Millarworld character and post a photo on his company's website, along with their name and a short bio. The winner will receive a $500 prize and a full-page photo in the June issue of Jupiter's Legacy 2, with the top 24 runners up also being featured in the series.

Eversince 'Mirchi' was released, hot bomb Hamsa Nandini got a special recognition as the best item girl to watch for in future. The title song of movie may be very short but Hamsa's sex appeal and ease at dancing for peppy mass numbers has caught the eye of director Veerabhadram Chowdary. As per the information received, Hamsa is to appear in a cameo for Nagarjuna's new project of 'Bhai.' Infact, the character of Hamsa was more sizzling in 'Eega' yet 'Mirchi' is talked more.
'I always wanted to share the screen space with Nag. When makers of 'Bhai' approached me for a song, I was happy to accept it. Devi composed a peppy wedding number and I made a small appearance during the wedding episode in movie,' Hamsa Nandini said. Reports say, it is the wedding scene of Nag and director even celebrated the birthday occasion of Richa Gangopadhyay in the same setting.

Appeal photographer shares journey around world
Appeal Staff Writer
In Rick Gunn's latest e-mail home, he boasted, "been there done that."
"I did it!" he exclaimed, with more exclamation points than would be prudent to print.
The South Lake Tahoe man (former Nevada Appeal photographer) was celebrating having cycled across 1,900 miles of Australian desert, but the sentiment could have referenced a larger accomplishment.
Since Gunn left from the Golden Gate Bridge in July 2005, he has ridden his bike through 31 countries, taking photos and writing stories along the way to share his experience.
"It's been important to me to tell these stories because it is all too easy to forget that each decision we make in our personal lives is capable of having a profound effect outside of our lives, outside of our communities, outside of our borders. To offer a gentle (or not so gentle) reminder that the way we eat, shop, consume and vote can have a severe effect on many we may never see," he wrote in an e-mail. "I've always hoped that by the telling my stories of these deeply personal encounters in the world, it may motivate some to switch off that TV set, and switch on their motivation to help find sustainable solutions to these problems."
His stories and photos have been printed in several publications including g the Nevada Appeal, Tahoe Daily Tribune and on his Web site rickgunnphotography.com. Calling his trip the Wish Tour, he's encouraged readers to donate to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
The 43-year-old moved to South Lake Tahoe from Castro Valley, Calif., 15 years ago to attend a junior college. He never left, citing a "severe, unending bout of outdoor enthusiasm."
The journey
He worked four years as a photographer at the Tahoe Daily Tribune in South Lake Tahoe, then 10 more at the Nevada Appeal in Carson City.
In addition to documenting local news, Gunn also traveled regularly, visiting 16 countries – traveling mostly by bicycle – and providing slideshows for the community upon each return.
And he always dreamed of cycling around the world – a dream he dedicates, in part, to his mother.
He was 18 when his mother died. Her last wish was to visit Europe, and she did. But when she got there, she was too sick to travel and had to quickly return home.
"I learned a powerful lesson: Be awake and alive and pursue your dreams," he said in an interview before he left. "In a certain sense, part of her will see the world now – and that part is me"
Although his original intention was to cycle 20,000 miles around the world in two years, Gunn's plans have since changed.
About halfway through the trip, his 8-year-old Labrador retriever, Tucson – or "my buddy," as Gunn most often referred to him – died.
So Gunn decided to extend the journey.
"I might as well get everything done I wanted to get done," he said in a telephone call. "Now, I'm coming back in May."
He plans to cycle along the Australian coast to Sydney, then fly to New Zealand and cycle the north and south island. From there, he will fly to Canada and bike from Vancouver back to where he started at the Golden Gate Bridge.
Be the change
As Gunn's journey has taken him to remote corners of rural solitude and to polluted, overpopulated cities, he has noted similarities.
"What has constantly amazed me has been the similarity of people around the planet, be they white, black, Muslim, Catholic or Bhuddist," he wrote. "I have learned that the vast majority want to be free, to live in peace, to love, to care for their families, and practice their spirituality in a world free of violence and oppression, just like you and me."
Despite differences in politics, ideology and culture, Gunn said, there were few barriers.
"I have generally been welcomed everywhere," he said. "A lot of it has been magic."
He told of breaking down on his bike in the Middle East and a Muslim man taking him in and "bending over backwards" to care for him.
It hasn't all been magic, though – some of which he attributes to his "gangliness and sizable nose."
"In all of Indonesia," he said, "you will rarely find a white person in some of the villages I rode through. I would have hundreds of people pointing at me."
He said he walked into a store once and a woman fell back against the wall and slid down it in laughter at the sight of the 6-foot, 6-inch lanky American.
"You want a cup of coffee and everybody is pointing at you and making a sign to their noses," he commiserated. "It was cute at first …."
But those are the small challenges.
Although he's fulfilling his life's dream, Gunn said it has also "tried me more than anything else in my life."
Seeing the poverty, suppression and other despairing conditions around the world, he finds it hard sometimes to fight being depressed.
But he clings to the idea: Be the change you want to see in the world.
So as he travels to new places, he tries to schedule one to two days where he can spend volunteering. He's worked at schools, orphanages, historical sites and planted trees.
"Unless I'm actively walking the walk, being the change, it doesn't do much good to just identify the problem without trying to be part of the solution."
And he hopes others will follow suit.
"Through my camera and through my words, people get the chance to look beyond their lives and redirect the way they look at the world, and maybe see if there's something they want to do to help," he said. "We are all one human family, and the success of our nation, (and the human race for that matter), is inextricably linked to the success of all nations. The failure of a child to live free from hunger, disease and poverty is not a failure of an individual nation, but the failure of the greater world community."
Coming home
The worst question, Gunn says, is, "What do you plan to do when you get home?"
"Continue shooting and writing," he answers, and adds in sarcasm, "earn a degree in advanced alcoholism."
But he is sure of one thing: "I miss home drastically," he said.
Traveling through much of the industrialized world where forests have been cleared to make room for factories and streams are a dumping ground for sewage, he said, has given him a greater appreciation for his Lake Tahoe home.
"I'm an outdoors person, always have been. To be out here in decimated forests, it's been hard," he said. "I love my homeland. The wilderness we have there is precious."
He also misses his family, friends and the dog he'll never see again.
"My life has changed," he said.
Once he gets home, he plans on spreading Tucson's ashes near Snow Lake, a place they frequented.
Other than that, his plans are ambiguous.
"The hardest part will be understanding how to continue what I've started," he said. "How do I come back and still make an impact. For years, I'll be pulling apart the threads from this trip and putting them together.
"Right now, I'm overwhelmed emotionally and mentally. I set out to learn about the world, but have mostly learned about myself."

When I went back to college in the fall during my senior year, I had managed to lose nearly 30 pounds over the summer. It was an incredible achievement and one that I always consider one of the best things that I did for myself. I managed to lose all that weight by cutting calories during each day of the week, while I was also fasting for 24 hours during one of those days. Here is how I lost weight through 24 hour intermittent fasting.
Fasting For 24 Hours
The idea behind intermittent fasting is that you will cut all calories from your day during specific hours. One of the ways that you can attempt intermittent fasting is to not eat anything or have any drinks that have calories or fake sugar. It means that you will only be drinking water, coffee and tea, so long as you add nothing to those beverages. During those 24 hours, you are completely fasting to attempt to lose weight.
Why did it help me so much? Because engaging in this method of intermittent fasting has a massive impact on your metabolism. As you are shocking your body through this regular fasting, you are increasing your metabolism in a big way. The result is that you are burning a lot more calories during each day of the week, especially if you are exercising as well.
Fasting Safely
The key with this method is that you are not attempting too much. It is only 24 hours in a week. For instance, you finish dinner on Monday night a 9pm. Now you will eat nothing until 9pm the next day. A full 24 hours of fasting. Then you will go about your regular eating routine for the other days!
The last bit of advice that I can give about this method is that you must still calorie restrict the other 6 days. It is not as though you can eat 3000 calories a day for six days, fast for one day and expect that you will lose weight.

10 Things You're Not Buying at Home Depot—but Should
Here are 10 reasons you'll want to hit up your nearest Home Depot—and, surprise!—they have nothing to do with a hammer and nails.

This Wooden Starburst Accent Mirror is just one example of a chic find you'll come across in the store.

Vinyl sheet flooring
The home improvement's product overhaul has also created a buzz within interior design blogger circles. For Holly Lauritzen of Our Faux Farmhouse, one of the most unexpected finds was LifeProof vinyl sheet flooring, which she used in lieu of pricier hardwood. "We installed it in our bedroom and were completely surprised at not only the character and authenticity but how much we truly loved it as well!" she said. These are the 15 things you should be buying at Walmart but aren't.
via homedepot.com
"Home improvement doesn't stop when you install the new floors in your bedroom or the new cabinets and countertops in your kitchen," says Kelie Charles, director of merchandising for The Home Depot. "We can finish your bedroom with a brand-new bed and duvet, a comfy armchair, floor rug, and wall art." Or try this ottoman on for size, it's covered in a soothing textured neutral fabric and offers storage. Plus: Get in on the shopping secrets Home Depot employees won't tell you.

Cushioned bar stools
After you've installed that brand new eat-in island in your kitchen, you'll naturally want the seating to go along with it. These cushioned bar stools come in both counter and bar stool heights and are a chic bargain with their full back, armless design, and nailhead trim accent.

Iron chandelier
When it came time for her kitchen facelift project, Rachel Metz of Living to DIY turned to The Home Depot for lighting inspiration. "THD's home accents are the most 'Where did you get that?' items I have in my home," she says. "From decorative sculptures to top of the line lighting, I love how easy it is to browse, be inspired, and be able to not only execute a renovation but add the finishing touches as well." Next, check out 12 more things we're buying from The Home Depot this month.

Luxury bedding
One of the biggest impacts of The Home Depot's purchase of The Company Store? A massive expansion into textiles—hello, organic percale bedding! Think duvet covers, comforter sets, and accent pillows, from 220-thread count cotton to 400-thread count sateen, with patterns ranging from playful to subdued, in sizes to fit your child's twin bed to your own king-sized one.

Industrial décor
If industrial home décor is your thing, a trip to the nearest Home Depot is a must. Will Taylor of Bright Bazaar loves the Home Decorators Collection for this very reason. "The pairing of black metal with wood creates a series of tactile pieces that would be perfect for decorating a modern farmhouse space—the fact the prices are so reasonable is an added bonus, too!" This Industrial Mansard Adjustable Bar Stool is just one of many pieces in the collection. Don't miss the 29 things you're not buying at Target but should be.

"My number one go-to when decorating a space is plants and more plants!" says Elsie Larson of A Beautiful Mess. "I love The Home Depot because they always have a lot of options." Whether you prefer indoor plants or hearty outdoor varieties for the front porch, The Home Depot carries locally-grown options zoned for your region. An easy one to start out with this Fiddle-Leaf Fig.

For a room transformation that doesn't require any paint or elbow grease, try sprucing up your space with an area rug. "I'm used to going to Home Depot for raw materials, paint samples, and tools," says Justina Blakeney of The Jungalow. "But lately I've been so pleasantly surprised to find so many items made of natural materials like bamboo blinds, grasscloth wallpaper and these sisal rugs that are great for indoors and out." You won't believe these crazy things Home Depot employees have seen.

Patio furniture
There is no getting around the fact that high-quality patio furniture can come at a steep cost. If you're spending mega bucks for it, you want to be sure it's an investment that is well made and built to last. To that end, and following data released from the Consumer Product Safety Commission detailing the need for more rigorous standards in patio furniture construction and safety, The Home Depot partnered with UL to create a standardized certification process.
The resulting documentation known as UL 4041 evaluates patio furniture products for resistance to corrosion, overall stability, strength, shear and pinch points, endurance, and durability. You can expect patio furniture offerings available from The Home Depot, like this Lounge Chair Set to meet if not exceed these quality standards. Next, check out all of the cool things you can make with free stuff from The Home Depot.
