More BetOnline Rewards and Promotions
In addition to the bonuses listed above, BetOnline has specific promos to take advantage of as well. Check out the unique ways to bank on different types of wagers.
Live Betting Free Play
This is kind of a tricky bet; you win when you lose. What that means is technically you win a $25 free play as a first time live bettor, but only if you lose your first-ever deposit of $25 or more. If you place a $25 live bet and win you bet, you do not qualify for the $25 free play.
Yet, if you lose your first live bet of $25, BetOnline will refund you $25. Simply send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com with your losing ticket number and your account number with "$25 Live Free Bet" in the subject. From there, your rightful $25 free play will be added to your account.
Mobile Betting Free Play
First-time mobile bettors can are eligible to use a $50 free play at BetOnline only when they lose their first bet if it was $50 or more.
To access the promotion, go to mobile.BetOnline.ag from your smartphone or tablet and place your first bet of $50 or more. If you win your bet, unfortunately, you are not eligible for the $50 free play. However, if you lose your first mobile bet of $50 or more, BetOnline will reimburse you for $50 of free play.
Email email@example.com with "$50 Mobile Free Play" in the subject and include your account number and the ticket number of your losing bet.
Racebook Betting Free Play
This racebook promotion is the $25 risk-free bet. The risk-free bet reimburses players who have lost their first bet with BetOnline's racebook of $25 or more. If you bet $25 and win your bet, you do not qualify for the promo.
To get access to the $25 refund, email email@example.com with "$25 Horse Free Play" in the subject and include your account number and the ticket number of your losing bet.

Nagorno-Karabakh: the history, the war, the causes
Nagorno-Karabakh, also known as Artsakh, (in Armenian: Լեռնային Ղարաբաղ, Leṙnayin Ġarabaġ; in Azerbaijan: Dağlıq Qarabağ, in Russian: Нагорно-Карабах) is a South Caucasus mountainous region. The name literally means 'mountainous Karabakh'.
Most of the region is led by the Republic of Nagorno Karabakh, a de facto independent but unrecognized state, created on the basis of the former Autonomous Region of the Karabakh Mountain, which was part of the Azerbaijani RSS Party within the USSR. The territory is internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan, which de facto no longer has control over the region since 1991. Since the end of the 1994 Nagorno-Karabakh war, representatives of the governments of Armenia and Azerbaijan have conducted peace talks mediated by the Group OSCE Minsk over the state of the disputed region.
The Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast was established by Soviet leaders in 1923 in the mountainous parts of the historic province of Karabakh. It is noteworthy that a significantly reduced area (4.400 km2), with the highest concentration of the Armenian population, which left outside the autonomous region, large areas inhabited predominantly by the Armenians, was chosen. These outstanding territories have been included in various other raions attributed to Soviet Azerbaijan in order to remove the idea of the Armenian local population from belonging to the same administrative and historical unit and to diminish the electoral and cohesion impact by exposing it to a process of denationalization favored by economic migration.
The outbreak of the conflict
The Armenian-Azero conflict was the first interethnic conflict in the former USSR. Since the end of 1987, the Nagorno-Karabakh population, supported by the countrymen of the Soviet Soviet Socialist Republic of Armenia, claimed territories that were part of the historical Armenian territory but were officially attributed to Azerbaijan's RSS. At the time, both states were republics of the USSR and the frontiers were predominantly motivated by economic motivations. On 19 February 1988, the Armenian majority in the province (population – 186,610 (1989), 138,600 (73,5%) Armenians and 47,500 (25,3%) Azerbaijani) began protests in favor of the region's joining Armenia, and in 1989 the Soviet Armenian Supreme Court has adopted an attachment law. Immediately after the political preparations, the violent phase of this process followed: the organization of Armenian self-defense units endowed with artillery and tanks from the Russian troops in the nearby military bases, which later merged into a real army. It ended by releasing almost the entire territory of the Azeri troops and establishing a communication corridor with the Republic of Armenia.
Until 1992 Armenians occupied the territories between Armenia and Upper Karabakh while contradictory rumors on both sides prompted the Azeri population to flee to eastern Azerbaijan. In total, approximately 20% of the initial area of R.S.S. Azerbaijan (of which 6-7% represented RANK) were occupied by pro-Armenian troops (14,176 km²), of which 4,400 km² and 7 administrative districts around the autonomous province of Lacin, Kalbadjar, Fuzuli, Agdam, Djabrayil, Qubadli, Zanghilan. Because of the war, Azerbaijan lost over 20,000 people – military and civilians. As a result of the conflict, about 1 million refugees in the busy regions live in extreme conditions, neglected and marginalized by even the Azerbaijani authorities.
The position of the international community and the parties
Although the UN has shown some interest in the conflict (the Security Council adopted four resolutions – 822, 853, 873, 884 – requesting the withdrawal of the Armenian army from the occupied territories), another OSCE institution – its special group in Minsk. The parties involved in the conflict, with such divergent interests and motivations, have consistently sabotaged the exit of this frozen conflict. Azerbaijan insists on maintaining its territorial integrity and Armenia seeks to preserve as many territories as possible from its historical territory, territories still inhabited by Armenians, insisting on the principle of national self-determination.

SQE "will increase inequality and deter working class students"Friday, 9 November 2018
The idea that the Solicitors Qualifying Examination will improve diversity is false and instead it will have "devastating effects" on many individuals, two academics have claimed.

Law firms view solicitor training reform negatively, SQE survey findsMonday, 20 November 2017
The more law firms find out about the planned Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE), the less positive about it they become, expecting that they will have to top up the knowledge acquired under the new route to qualification, research has found. The poll also found widespread ignorance of the Solicitors Regulation Authority's planned overhaul of training.

"Who touched me?" (Mk 5:31)
Seeing this wonderful cross in the sky above our monastery reminded me of these thoughts in Pope Benedict's 'Spe Salvi' (par. 27-28):
Whoever is touched by love begins to perceive what "life" really is. He begins to perceive the meaning of the word of hope that we encountered in the Baptismal Rite: from faith I await "eternal life"—the true life which, whole and unthreatened, in all its fullness, is simply life. Jesus, who said that he had come so that we might have life and have it in its fullness, in abundance (cf. Jn 10:10), has also explained to us what "life" means: "this is eternal life, that they know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent" (Jn 17:3). Life in its true sense is not something we have exclusively in or from ourselves: it is a relationship. And life in its totality is a relationship with him who is the source of life. If we are in relation with him who does not die, who is Life itself and Love itself, then we are in life. Then we "live".
Yet now the question arises: are we not in this way falling back once again into an individualistic understanding of salvation, into hope for myself alone, which is not true hope since it forgets and overlooks others? Indeed we are not! Our relationship with God is established through communion with Jesus—we cannot achieve it alone or from our own resources alone. The relationship with Jesus, however, is a relationship with the one who gave himself as a ransom for all (cf. 1 Tim 2:6). Being in communion with Jesus Christ draws us into his "being for all"; it makes it our own way of being. He commits us to live for others, but only through communion with him does it become possible truly to be there for others, for the whole.

Welcome to the under 10's page. This age group is for children in the school year 5 age group starting on 1st September, i.e. children aged 9 on the 1st of September 2019.
The coaches for this age group are
Neil Smurthwaite Tel M 07836 676 639
or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com
When do the squad train
The squad train from September to April on a Sunday Morning 10am -11am
When do the squad play matches
During the playing season September - April matches are on Sunday Mornings 11am - Noon.
How do I join
New players boys or girls are always welcome to join. If you are interested in playing mini tag rugby come down to Copley on any training session or match day and ask for the team manager or lead coach.
or contact Dave Butler via e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com
or telephone 01422 371672
There are a few roles we would like parents to help with and take some of the workload off the coaches.
Assistant coaches
If there are any parents who would like to help with the coaching please contact them. We will arrange courses you can attend and develop your coaching skills.
Match reporters
We also would like a parent or parents to help with writing match reports for the website and the local newspaper. Its not a big job, we just require the match results, Names of players in each team, the try scorers and any awards eg man of the match. If you wish you can add a match summary.
Team manager
We require a team manager to welcome new squad players and explain the procedures. Once they have completed a trial period and happy to continue playing, ensure they complete a membership form and become RFU registered and hold a player ID card to allow them to play competitive games.
After an excellent first season of competitive rugby the squad this season will build on this foundation. The squad should be looking to run with the ball and try to evade a tagger and also look and pass and receive the the ball whilst running. The game also moves from 4 a side to 6 a side so a liitle less space on the pitch. This starts to make players look at spacial awareness.
We will be looking for new players to join and boost the squad numbers to be able to run at least 2 teams the Cougars and the Jaguars so everyone gets a game. If numbers increase as the season progresses then we will form a third team. During training sessions the squad is often split into 2 groups, the experienced players and the new player development squad. This allows the new players to learn the basic skills at their own pace and when up to speed can transfer to the experienced player squad.
So if you are new to the game just come down on a Sunday morning 10am - Noon September to April for some free taster sessions before deciding to join. We are based in Copley and please check the under 8s fixture list to see when they are training or have home games some weeks they play away games at other clubs.
The under 9s play 7 a side contact rugby on a 60 x 30m pitch. On match day Sundays the squad meet at 10am and train/warm up till 11am when the matches start. The main change this season is the introduction of the tackle and this is seen as a major change in the child's development. Some Sundays are dedicated to training/player development, these are on average one Sunday per month (see fixtures on the menu bar). For more information on the under 9s activities/development click on the link below.
Under 9s development
Under 9s rules of play
Anyone interested in sponsoring the Minis please contact any of the coaches or people below. The amount can be as little as £5 upwards. The money goes into a pot to buy equipment such as balls, tag belts, tackle shields, training shirts, coaching tops, marker cones and poles. The list is endless there is always new equipment to buy or replace worn out equipment.
Please contact Dave Butler via e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com
or phone 01422 371672

President's Message
On July 21st, 1969, Neil Armstrong took one single footstep onto the moon's surface that would become immortalized in the history books of humanity. While this monumental achievement was accomplished in a few short days, it was the work of thousands of people over the course of many years to lay the foundation and establish the trajectory for this historic mission.
As we embark on this, the 96th year of the Junior League of San Antonio, it is the laying of the foundation and establishment of the trajectory towards our centennial anniversary, that will be our calling.
Over the next five years we will raise a half million dollars in our campaign as transformational change agents of children's mental wellness in San Antonio. Over the course of the next five years, we will grow from 350 Active Members to over 500 Active Members by being the preeminent organization for women in, and around, San Antonio. And over the next five years we will be making a greater impact in our communities than we have ever done before.
We can't accomplish it all in our 96th year, but we can certainly help shape the trajectory and start moving. For this, we are naming our 96th year as "Liftoff to 100."
The work of the Junior League cannot be accomplished by one President, or one Chair, or one Sustainer, or by one project. It takes a team of trained volunteers, exceptional women leaders and the support of community members, donors, our friends and our families, to accomplish what we do every day.
Dr. Jill Biden shared an important message at our 2019 Unstoppable Luncheon for a Cause. Her message was loud and clear: "Be the leaders we want to follow". Our members are the heart of our organization and it is my commitment that our membership experience empowers women leaders to be transformational change agents in our League and in our communities.
We have tremendous work ahead of us to lay the trajectory and liftoff to our 100th year. A powerful quote by Ghandi truly embodies our calling in the 96th year of the Junior League of San Antonio: "The future depends on what we do in the present."
Thank you,
Yvonne K. Addison
2019 – 2020 President
Junior League of San Antonio

What customers say about "Features"
Peavey Escort 6000 Channel PA System
- This is a great PA system. We used it at our Union Labor Cay Picnic and with the wireless mike the sound was awesome.
- I'm a solo artist who plays guitar and sings to full backing tracks at bars and restaurants and this gear so far hasn't been past 1/4 on the volume dial! Tons of headroom, and the class D amp really hits the spot.
- The overall sound and effects added to this unit are wonderful. The fact that there are outs for powered monitors and subs is awesome.
- And the wifi and usb playback is great for musice played during the breaks.
- Easy EQ adjustments and I really like the Mid Morph, cleans up the sound on the low ends and nice crispy sound on the high ends.
- The only issue with this is the latches. Other than that it has held up to every test in which it was purchased.
- Its a great system, but they I should have realized that IT DOES NOT HAVE PHANTOM power....GRRRrrrr....I cannot use my supped up microphones nor the lit up ones. The so called "reverb" effects are NOT that great...but it does the job.
Yamaha STAGEPAS 600i Portable PA System
- This is a perfect system for home Karaoke! We love to entertain and this system sounds so professional! The only thing we added was a subwoofer to make it sound even better.
- The yamaha reverb makes me sound like Steve Green while singing. Just fantastic. With the ipod connection I can FINALLY stop trying to sinc my galaxy tab with the music I need.
- The versatility is awesome since they can be used as your main front of house system in small/medium venues (utilize the subwoofer out with a nice powered sub for medium venues), and they can also be setup as floor monitors.
- We have audience over 80 people at times and this rig fills up the whole place with great sound. This 600i PA, Carvin powered stage monitor, speaker stands and mic stands, my keyboard and a sack of wires easily fit in the back seat of my pickup.

CARD KIT: Panda Bear Flower I Can't Bear to be Without You!
The greeting card in the Origami Card Kit is an awesome fusion of our origami character kits and origami greeting cards and is essentially the same as the cards from our premium Handmade collection, but the difference is that you make the panda bear instead of us making it! Each panda bear head is folded by hand, the body is cut out by hand and stuck together by hand so you can proudly claim that it was actually handmade by you (with a little help from us)!
With a magnet on the back of the handmade panda bear and a metal disc on the card, they stick together by the magic of magnetic attraction. So being magnetic the panda bear can be easily removed and stuck onto something else magnetically attractive, like the metal door of a fridge, making it a great keepsake or memento as well. Suitable for all ages and occasions, especially birthdays.
Whats in the kit?
1x Greeting card (Quality textured card paper and inside of card is BLANK for your own message)
1x Origami paper of panda bear head
1x Body-cut of panda bear body
1x Self-adhesive magnet
1x Self-adhesive metal disc
1x Step-by-step instructions sheet (with links to videos)
1x Plain white envelope
Non-plastic packaging. Paper materials from FSC responsible sources

Note: you'll need scissors and paper glue or sticky tape to complete the kit
Impress your friends and loved ones with a card that was made by you. With our Origami Card Kits, you can show off your creative skills by making an origami panda bear that doubles as a fridge magnet (and more) and feel proud knowing that it was handmade with love by you!
Inspiration for the origami card came while sitting on the "throne" one morning. I was wondering how to keep printed greeting cards relevant in this new world of all things digital, the traditional greeting card was in danger of being replaced by an email, a post or an instant message laced with a witty gif. With so many amazing different types of cards out there it was going to be easy coming up with a new and unique twist for a greeting card but then it hit me (yes while on the throne), how about creating a card where the recipient can have a go at making something in origami? A good friend introduced me to Japanese folding art called origami and after making a few items I was hooked!

It is expedient to define the term "nationalism" before delving into a discussion of the aforementioned caption.
Nationalism is a multifaceted social, political or religious configuration that characterizes the inimitability or uniqueness of a particular nation. It is a concept that has as its primary objective, the securing and maintaining of jurisdiction through authority, self-governance or other methods that would ensure sovereignty over a territory of historical importance, such as an original homeland, to a race or group. Nationalism contends that a nation, for instance, should govern itself, exclusive of outside interference or meddling. The doctrine is inescapably intertwined with the principle of self-governance or self-determination.
Nationalism also revolves around developing and sustaining a national identity predicated on communal characteristics such as culture, language, race, religion, political goals or a belief in a common ancestry.1 Nationalism is fiercely linked with the preservation of a nature's culture, and a sense of pride in a nation's accomplishments. Consequently, the ideology is closely associated with the notion of patriotism.
Scholars used the term "nationalism", from the late 18th century onwards, to exemplify the intention of a nation to pursue political autonomy and self-determination. History records nationalist movements in 19th century Germany, Italy, Greece, Serbia, Poland, Latin America, and 20th century China and Africa. There are many varieties of the mindset, among which are the following: (a) Integral nationalism (b) Civic or Liberal nationalism ( c) Ethnic nationalism (d) Religious nationalism (e) Left-Wing nationalism (f) Right-wing nationalism (g) Territorial nationalism, and (h) Racial nationalism.
Contrary to generally accepted protocol, which leans towards a ready dismissal of nationalism as maleficent or oppressive, the doctrine may be positive or negative, good or bad, or inclusive or exclusionary.
Given the above explanation of the nature and characteristics of nationalism, it seems appropriate to classify Zionism as a nationalist endeavor, but is the Zionist movement an unlawful or illegal form of the postulation? Negative or exclusionary nationalism relates to a majority ethnic group's attempt to exclude and persecute minorities, often for the accrual of various benefits to the overassertive group. The presumption is negative nationalism accords little or no significance to global or international paradigms of justice and fair play. Those who practice negative or exclusionary nationalism are inclined to target the socially and economically fragile, and encourage their constituents to vent their frustrations on minorities that supposedly threaten their livelihood in one way or another. Promoters of negative nationalism sometimes direct their animosity towards minorities who are adhere to a religious persuasion that differs from the predominant faith of the land.
Zionism upholds or indorses none of the forgoing political, social or religious idiosyncrasies.
Israel is a democracy that boasts an enviable record of furthering the noble principles relative to (a) Civil Liberties (b) Multiculturalism and (c) Equality before the Law and the Right to Vote. It is unfathomable that leaders of other nations level charges of exclusionary or negative nationalism against the Jewish state. Furthermore, the allegations of wrongdoing take on an outrageously ironic guise when many of the accusers themselves exercise jurisdiction over governmental regimes that are blatantly nationalistic in deleterious ways, and that have a shameful history of discrimination and maltreatment of their minority populations. The author volunteers a few examples of such duplicity and treachery later in this discussion.
Israel – A Unique Democratic Nation
Israel and Civil Liberties
Religious Freedom – Israel is the only Middle Eastern country in which non-Jewish populations are allowed to co-exist and thrive with adherents of the primary faith (Judaism), instead of being persecuted and/or proscribed from living among those who subscribe to the central or ascendant worldview. As a matter of fact, although Israel was established as a Jewish state, it formally recognizes 15 religions, including Islam, the Baha'is and Druze faiths, as well as Chaldaic and many other Christian denominations, among other faiths. Israeli law mandates the protection of the holy sites of all religions. Each religious community enjoys unrestrained liberty to exercise its faith, observe its holy days and administer its internal functioning.
Freedom of Assembly & Freedom of Expression – The freedom to assemble, and to express oneself freely is the right of all Israeli citizens – Jewish or non-Jewish.
While hate speech and incitement to violence are outlawed, and indeed they should be in any civilized, constitutionalist society, expressing differences of opinion in any sphere of social, political and religious life in Israel is legal. Israeli-Arab members of the Knesset (the unicameral national legislature of Israel) have been known to criticize the Jewish State, and from the floor of the Knesset no less.
Free speech and communication in Israel are evidenced by the abundance of daily newspapers in Hebrew, Russian, Arabic, French and English. There are multiple hundreds of periodicals, numerous radio and TV stations, and ready access to the foreign press.
Civil Rights – Israel's broadminded, liberal legislation guarantees protection of the rights of all minorities.
Israel & Multiculturalism
Contrary to what those opposed to the Israel's existence as a self-governing state would propagandize, and what others who are obsessed with misrepresenting the truth about the country's social, political and religious infrastructure would intimate, the Jewish nation is a pluralistic society. The following cultural characteristics of Israel might be a source of surprise to some, and a conduit of dismay to others who labor under a swath of denial.
- Eighty percent of Israelis are people of Jewish ancestry derived from various ethnicities and races.
- Many of the aforementioned Jews emigrated from the Middle East, Ethiopia, India, Russia, the U.S.A. and Europe.
- Refugees from Arab and Muslim Middle Eastern and North African countries and their descendants comprise over half of Israel's Jewish population.2
- Israel's non-Jewish population account for twenty percent of the nation's population and includes Arab Muslims, Arab Christians, non-Arab Christians, Druze, Bedouins, Circassians, Asians and others.3
Israel & Legal Equality
Palestinians in the Territories, although they are not Israeli citizens, are enabled to petition the nation's highest courts in legal matters. The Court administers its duties based on the merits of each case and as a matter of fact, often rules in favor of the Palestinians. A May 5, 2003 New York Times article lends credence to the aforementioned statement.
One of the most unusual aspects of Israeli law is the rapid access that petitioners, including Palestinians, can gain to Israel's highest court. In April 2002, during the fiercest fighting of the current conflict (the Israeli-Palestinian conflict)…the high court was receiving and ruling on petitions almost daily.4
Israel & the Right to Vote
The entitlement of every Israeli citizen to vote or not to vote is an inalienable right granted to all Israeli citizens. The nation's non-Jewish citizens, or its minority constituents, trace such a privilege to Israel's Declaration of Independence. Election Day in Israel is a national holiday and voter turnout generally scales eighty percent, which is higher than even the voter turnout in the U.S.A. The Israeli electoral system accommodates various political parties that endorse a wide range of opinions i.e. Communist, religious, Arab, and secular standpoints. The multiparty system represents a departure from the traditional two or three-party arrangement that typifies most other democratic structures.
Israel Singled Out For Disparagement
Why does there exist an international perception of Israel as a nation that is negatively or selfishly nationalistic?
The concept of nationalism is generally at odds with the perspective of globalism or a common global community. The forgoing assessment notwithstanding, there is a demarcation between positive nationalism and negative nationalism as alluded to earlier. The presumption is that negative nationalism evades global responsibility, while positive nationalism pursues domestic accountability. The reverse psychological play upon the italicized words in the preceding sentence leaves room for the assumption that negative nationalism may also evade domestic responsibilities, and positive nationalism may also pursue global obligations.
Furthermore, the theory of the development of a unified global community is nonsensically idealistic when one considers the overwhelmingly diverse social, political and religious agendas that hold sway in the multitudinous societies around the world. The very unpredictable situation as it relates to politics and religion in Europe and the Middle East, among other areas, makes it especially difficult to contemplate the emergence of any kind of global world order whereby there would be a common, undergirding framework for lasting international camaraderie and cooperation. In other words, globalism today is woefully absent while nationalism exists almost everywhere.
A society that demonstrates an unambiguous penchant for positive nationalism is more predisposed to be tolerant and accommodating towards foreign nations because its people are acquainted with the mores of good citizenship and social justice. A society that exhibit traits associated with negative nationalism, where for instance, dictators, autocrats and despots assume power, lacks the wherewithal to conform to standards and etiquette that appeal to international inclusiveness.
The more or less recent emergence of ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq & Syria), the international terrorist organization, the members of which mercilessly and unhesitatingly slaughter anyone who does not subscribe to their unfathomably dark and heinous agenda, has prompted the rulers of some nations to rethink their social and political strategies and adopt a nationalistic approach towards ensuring national security. ISIS' ability to spread its tentacles of hate and destruction across the globe makes people wary and apprehensive. Also, conflicts within certain Muslim fundamentalist countries in the Middle East whereby many thousands of people become displaced and seek refuge in freer, democratic nations around the world, create a worrisome problem for the recipient nations that face the daunting prospect of allowing probable terrorists entry into their countries as refugees swarm their borders. Nationalism, particularly positive nationalism, may be the answer to the dilemma of many fearful people in countries that would accommodate refugees from warn torn countries,
The forgoing having been said, negative nationalists tend to prey on people who experience the throes of social and economic instability. People who feel unobligated toward one another in a nation that displays negative nationalistic tendencies are wont to discriminate against minorities in their midst, and even rail against foreigners outside their borders in a misguided quest for a status of social or political, or even religious dominance. People whose livelihoods might be threatened welcome the opportunity to target others who they may somehow blame for their misfortune and on whom they can vent their frustrations.
In all of this, Israel is made out to be the villain…even though its nationalistic policies are rooted in justice and fair play. Zionism, which is a form of positive nationalism, is actually a commendable undertaking and is a proven success, given the breadth and latitude of Israel's unique democratic processes.
If Zionism is racist merely because it is nationalist, then all nationalism is representative of racism. It follows that all nations that claim to be structured on nationalist principles also should be marginalized and ostracized from the global community, as is Israel. Anti-Zionism essentially advocates one or more of the following suppositions are true.
- Jews are not a nation.
- Evidence linking Jews to Old Testament (Torah) history is questionable.
- Jews originated from Eastern Europe, not the Middle East.
- Jews do not constitute a homogeneous group.
- Jews have partnered with imperialists, Nazis and other oppressors throughout history.
- Zionism essentially amounts to tyrannizing the Palestinians.
The forgoing allegations are false and unsubstantiated and do not coincide with the truth about the Jewish State of Israel, which, in its Zionist undertaking, embodies the moralities of positive of inclusive nationalism.
The Jews' history is littered with episodes of discrimination, persecution and subjugation in their homeland and in countries around the world. They were expelled from the lands of their ancestors multiple times by hateful occupiers over the centuries and banished to diverse nations in which they were never welcome. During World War II, Jew hatred or anti-Semitism bourgeoned into the Holocaust – history's deadliest incidence of genocide – and the unmitigated slaughter of over six million people of Jewish ancestry in Europe. The Jews, more than any other group of people, have the right to be allowed to return to their homeland i.e. Israel, and re-establish or develop an infrastructure that is unique to their social, political and religious needs and character. Zionism, or the reestablishment, development and protection of the nation of Israel is nationalism, but it is positive nationalism. It is nationalism that is eminently justifiable!
Just who are the decriers of Zionist nationalism?
Negative Nationalism in Many Countries Goes Unnoticed While Israel's Positive Nationalism is Decried
It is lamentable that the majority of Middle Eastern countries, most of them Muslim theocracies, have pro-actively and systematically evicted Jews, Christians and other religious minorities over past decades without allowing them to return to lands that were their homes for thousands of years. Effectively, these nations have practiced nationalism – negative or exclusionary nationalism – for centuries, yet the world at large neglects to level discriminatory nationalist charges against these Muslim nations and instead demonizes Israel as illegally nationalist. To add insult to injury, many of the aforementioned nations themselves direct claims of unlawful nationalist charges against the Jewish nation. The following extract from a Jerusalem Post Christian Edition article, published in partnership with the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem (ICEJ) in February 2011 reveals some alarming statistics about the disappearance of Christians in Middle Eastern countries. The title of the article is The Tragic Decline of Middle East Christianity – Communities Dwindle under Pressure.
Egypt – Of an estimated population of just over 80,000,000 residents, Christians make up about 8%, with the vast majority being Coptic Christians. 5
Iran – Of an estimated population of around 70,000,000, Christians account for no more than 0.5 percent or around 350,000. 5
Iraq – Of of an estimated population of around 29,000,000 residents, the Christian community has rapidly dwindled to under 2% or less than 500,000. 5
Jordan – Of an overall population of around 6 million, some 2% or 120,000 people are Christians. 5
Lebanon – Of a general population of 4 million, the Christian population has dropped from a near majority several decades ago to as low as 35% or approximately 1.5 million, most of whom are Maronite (22%) , Greek Orthodox (8%) and Greek Melkite (4%). 5
Palestinian Territories – Demographics vary widely on the general population: West Bank (1.4 to 2.4 million), Gaza (1.2 million to 1.5 million). Christians are now less than 2%, down from 10% some 40 years ago. No more than 3,000 Christians are left in Gaza. 5
Syria – Of a general population of just over 20 million, Christians comprise around 6% or 1.2 million. 5
Turkey – The general population numbers around 78 million, while the Christian community is down to under 0.30% or less than 200,000. There have been huge drops in the Greek Orthodox and Armenian Orthodox communities over the past century.5
Recent upsurges of negative nationalism in Europe seem to solicit only token responses from global observers – unlike the more or less frenetic rejoinders to so-called unlawful Israeli or Jewish nationalism.
In Austria, for instance, the rise in popularity of the nation's far-right Freedom Party and its performance in the 2016 general elections is seen as a resurgence of exclusionary nationalism. The Freedom Party's unabashed agenda, which calls for stronger border defenses and tougher controls on immigration and asylum seekers, is a departure from the traditional political and social missions of one of Europe's more stable democracies.
France's National Front party, which lost in the country's the 2017 general elections, nevertheless embodies a growing number of voters who lean towards unbridled nationalism. Marie Le Pen, the National Front's leader unapologetically embraces anti-globalization and anti-immigration policies. Le Pen has proven to be formidable advocate of authoritarian politics and has sworn to oppose immigration and secure the country's borders. Negative nationalism has been on a rise in France since the 1980's, when the party's founder, Jean-Marie Le Pen, Marie Le Pen's father, won a seat in European Parliament in 1984.
Additionally, terror attacks in Paris, Nice and elsewhere in Europe, combined with seemingly endless streams of refugees and immigrants, particularly from Syria and other Muslim nations, have left many French citizens apprehensive. They feel endangered physically and economically. Michele Lamont, the Robert I. Goldman Professor of European Studies; Professor of Sociology and African and African American Studies at Harvard University offered the following statement in connection with the aforementioned outlook.
"What the French have witnessed, especially since the attacks over the last two years, (has left many feeling) 'we're not a home anymore, and these people who are here in our country as guests are totally destroying our quality of life.…(they) are coming in and stealing our resources.' "
Switzerland also, finds itself a prominent player on the burgeoning European nationalist stage. The right-wing Swiss People's Party (SVP) is the largest political assembly in the nation. The October 18, 2015 federal elections showed a shift due to voter concerns about refugee immigration. The SVP won a record number of seats, taking a third of the 200 lower-seat house. The party received the highest proportion of votes of any Swiss political party since 1919, when proportional representation was first introduced. 6 As the veteran Swiss nationalist, Christoph Blocher, advocates without reservation, the SVP's mission is to make Switzerland fiercely independent and equipped to defend traditional values and combat "asylum chaos" across Europe.
The Southeast Asian nation of Indonesia, the fourth most populous country in the world (population of around 200 million), and the largest economy in the region, is embroiled in economic, cultural and territorial issues from a nationalistic perspective. Indonesians express their dissatisfaction at what they deem foreign interference in the nation's affairs, and demand greater international recognition of the country's status in the global arena. Politicians, intellectuals, and leaders of religious and social organizations, and ordinary citizens as well, regularly declare that foreign countries regularly demonize, exploit, and mistreat Indonesia, and do not accord the nation the respect it deserves as a major nation of the region, which includes Malaysia and Australia.
Ethnic Chinese in Indonesia found themselves at the receiving end as negative nationalism reared its ugly head during a recent currency crisis, and Indonesians, fearful of an economic collapse, responded to the volatile situation by resorting to violence. A CNBC September 2015 article, confirming the actuality of the crisis, reported that the Indonesian rupiah had plunged to 14,280 units against the U.S. dollar, the lowest since July 1998.7
Recent actions of the incumbent Prime Minister of India, Mahendra Modi, indicate a leaning toward the adoption of national policy that reeks of religious exclusionism. The strategy, epitomizing Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) staunch stand for Hinduism, India's main religion that numbers 80 percent of the country's 1.3 billion people, is worrying, to say the least. Modi himself is a Hindu, and is a vocal supporter of the worldview, notwithstanding the expectation that the Prime Minister's office in such a large democracy should project an image of religious neutrality or pluralism.
A wave of disturbances by Hindu nationalists over recent months has placed Modi in an unenviable, embarrassing position. Sikh, Christian and Muslim minorities are understandably discomfited by the belligerence of Hindu nationals and feel threatened physically, emotionally and economically. They fear the institution of Hinduism as a national religion, with numerous frightful repercussions for non-Hindus across the country.
On June 2, 2016, police clashed with armed protesters from the Hindu Netaji sect occupying a park in the city of Mathura. Some 24 people were killed and over 300 protesters were arrested. The Hindu protesters had held the park for the past two years, demanding that India's parliament disband and that the posts of president and prime minister be abolished. 8
The escalating instances of disagreement between Hindu nationals and Indian secularists can only serve to undermine Mahendra Modi's already deteriorating reform agenda, deepen the country's political polarization, and temper economic growth.
The author volunteers the following couple of paragraphs as a personal aside in connection with Narendra Modi's departure from religious freedom and inclusionism.
My wife Pamela and I were sponsors of a young Indian girl via the auspices of Compassion International, a Christian humanitarian aid child sponsorship organization dedicated to the long-term development of children living in poverty around the world. Early in 2017 we received notification from Compassion International that we could no longer support our sponsored child in India, and our financial assistance would be redirected to help better the life of a young Haitian child. Upon enquiry, we were told that Compassion International and other Christian humanitarian organizations were debarred from continuing operations in the Asian country. Organizations were free to offer assistance to impoverished children in India, we learned, but could not preach the Christian Gospel. The ban pertained not only to Christian organizations, but to Muslim, Sikh, Jewish, and other non-Hindu groups. The disclosure lanced my innermost feelings.
Shortly afterwards, I read about Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's concerted drive to promote Hinduism in India, at the expense of other belief systems. Modi's approach represents not only a nationalist undertaking, but a negative and exclusionary strategy of excommunicating and oppressing people who do not subscribe to the tenets of Hinduism. The aforementioned outrage is today a fact of life in one of the world's largest democracies.
And people ridicule miniscule Israel for being nationalist…positively nationalist!
The forgoing are examples of nations around the world that are not only nationalist, but negatively or prejudicially separatist. Yet the world at large pays scant attention to such a troubling state of affairs, and instead single out the nation of Israel, which is decidedly a positively nationalist one, as an exclusionary nation that abhors globalism and mistreats its ethnic minorities. The Jewish nation's Zionist program, they say, ignores international connectedness and discriminates against resident non- Jews.
In would seem in most instances, criticism or denouncement of Zionism as an illegitimate nationalist movement is nothing more than a façade for expressing anti-Semitic sentiments. As Abraham (Abe) Foxman (born 1940), former National Director of the Anti-Defamation League and currently the League's National Director Emeritus said, "…anti-Zionism constitutes anti-Semitism if Zionism is the only nationalism being opposed." Put alternatively, when criticism of Israel retrogresses into demonization and delegitimization of the nation's right to exist as a Jewish state, such condemnation becomes anti-Semitism. When Zionism is adjudged a conspirational scheme to subjugate and take over the world, it is arrant evidence of anti-Semitism at work.

A riotous assembly of unrespectable southern African creatures. This riotous assembly of unrespectable creatures comprises 42 short accounts of southern Africa's vibrant collection of wild animals.
From the one-of-its-kind aardvark to the wilfully ignorant ostrich; the Houdini-like honey badger to the precariously specialised klipspringer; and from the curvaceous, sports-model springbok to the recklessly insensitive hyena – this book airs the dirty laundry (and shares the trade secrets) of some of our wackiest, most eccentric fauna. Many of the stories are illustrated with delightful line drawings.
Basing his accounts on accurate, true-to-life detail, but always looking on the light side, author David Muirhead captures the weird and wonderful lives of his subjects, investigating their often exaggerated reputations, their habits, weaknesses, armouries and modi operandi.
At once informative and hugely entertaining, this riotous assembly will appeal to anyone with the slightest interest in wildlife and – for its excellent entertainment value – will make a particularly wonderful gift.
Long-time English writer and journalist David Muirhead has already published several books, including a collection of satirical short stories that drew acclaim from the British press.

Issues related to culture, equity, and social justice are woven throughout the field of early childhood education. I suspect that this is one of the reasons that ECE is such a hot-button issue in the current policy climate. Americans hold a variety of perspectives on the meaning of culture and equity as well as the definition of what makes a worthy social justice issue. Building consensus and understanding around these issues is necessary in order for our society to properly support children and families.
My goals as a professional in early childhood education are tied to the goals I have for the early childhood profession as a whole. I want to help influence a sensible approach to this necessary facet of our communities that includes a two-generation support system for children and their parents. I have been dismayed at some of the rhetoric I hear from some politicians regarding early childhood education.
It appears that there are some leaders with a sincerely held belief that early childhood education programs are an assault on the traditional American family. Just this week a state senator from Colorado spoke to this in a committee hearing on proposed reforms for the Child Care Assistance Program that helps to subsidize child care for Colorado's low-income families. Senator Kevin Lundberg spoke of this "belief" that children are better off if they aren't at home with their parents and we are all subsidizing it. I found this perspective to be strange. I don't think many people think that, except in the most extreme situations, children are better off with anyone other than their parents. However, it is simply not the reality in America today that parents can stay home with their children.
According to the US Department of Labor, in 1968 a full-time minimum wage job as enough to support a family of three. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that this isn't even close to possible anymore. For those families that are fortunate enough to have two loving adults in the home raising the children, few are in the position to have only one of those adults bringing home an income. Two income households are a majority reality in America today. Furthermore, many households are headed by a single parent. In the event that someone finds themselves raising their children alone they often have two choices: to either work or go to school while getting some subsidized help as they improve their family situation or go on full-blown welfare and do their best to stay on it. Occasionally there are single parents who can make everything work without any help, but this is simply not the reality.
When I hear people say that the government has no business funding or supporting early childhood education programs, I feel disappointed. We have a responsibility as a society to make sure that we are taking care of our children and we are helping our citizens be empowered to work and contribute to our economic vitality. There is no assault on the traditional American family underway. Instead, we are working towards a shift in societal perspectives that allows for recognition of the fact that there are a lot of acceptable constructs of the American family that lie outside of the expected construct of one man and one woman with a handful of typically developing biological children. Our families are varied and worthwhile. It is in the best interests of our society that we find ways to support children and families so that everyone is learning and working purposefully. These are admirable goals for a community.
My professional path is one that leads towards greater understanding and justice for our tiniest citizens who do not have a voice for themselves and their parents who are to immersed in supporting their families to be actively involved in public policy issues. I am grateful for all of the early childhood professionals who are on this path with me and are helping me discover how to understand and advocate to the best of my abilities. Together we will be able to do so much to change the landscape for the better for our children and families.

One Response to "Social Justice in Early Childhood"
As an ultra-traditionalist, I favor Maria Montessori's vision of substituting the mixed-age classroom for the deficiencies found in the modern small, nuclear (no cousins) family where one or both parents work outside of the home. But I also favor keeping government out of education.

Luke has been unwell for a few days now, after Emily and Ben were sick with the flu. Of course he has been the worst, and yesterday Neil made a doctor's appointment for him. With half an hour to go until the appointment, I decided to take him in early. His temperature was 40.1 deg Celsius, and he had had panadol and neurofen and it had gone up further.
When I got to the doctors he got even worse and was crying so they put me in the nurse's office to have a quick check-up with her and be n the airconditioning as it was getting hot. They then informed me that there had been two emergencies and so there were 6 people ahead of me! I was not best pleased, even thought I know it was no-one's fault. They juggled things and I only had to wait for 2 others in the end. The doctor is very thorough and decided to send him to the hospital for assessment as he had some crackles on his lungs.
So off we went at 5pm last night. We saw two doctors there, and had his oxygen sats checked and a urine sample etc, and were given some preventative antibiotics so thankfully we were home by 8.15 pm. He is much better today, so here's hoping we get a full night's sleep and he's even better tomorrow. Fingers crossed.

30 Day Challenge: April 5 – May 5
EVERY class you attend between April 5, 2018 and May 5, 2018 counts towards rewards at the end of the Challenge. Use your existing pass, buy a drop-in, or push yourself with our special offer CHALLENGE PASS that gives you access to every regular class during the 30 Day Challenge for the cost of $135 – only $5 more than the regular 12 class pass.
Why do we need a 30 Day Challenge?
Because yoga has so many benefits for physical, emotional, and mental well-being but many of these benefits aren't going to be realized in a single class. Like everything else in life, it takes persistent, repeated practice to really experience growth and benefit. So if the studio can do something to help nudge you from 1 class a week to 2, or from 3 a month to 5, then you'll be on your way to a better and more productive practice.
Use the 30 Day Challenge to try something new, to be more consistent, and to move beyond your limitations and get off that plateau!
The full regular schedule is available to you during this challenge. In addition, new classes will be added so that on average, each week will have 14 available classes. Traditionally long-format classes will be pared down to make them fit the regular punch system as well. Check the schedule for availability.
Increasing discounts are offered based on the number of classes that students push themselves to take during the 30 Day Challenge. You take the classes, we'll keep track and give you rewards.
- Take 10% off the price of your next pass for coming to 10 classes
- Take 15% off the price of your next pass for coming to 15 classes
- Take 20% off the price of your next pass for coming to 20 classes
- Take 25% off the price of your next pass for coming to 25 classes
- Take 30% off the price of your next pass for coming to 30 classes
All rewards must be ACTIVATED by May 15, 2018. If you've earned a discount, start using it by May 15 to take full advantage!

The Proposal
Earlier this year, the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) came out with a proposal for the Lifeline program that would effectively take away phone and broadband service from millions of the program's beneficiaries. In March, a letter drafted by a band of Democratic Senators, including the senator of California, Kamala Harris, estimated that 8.4 million out of the 12 million people currently benefitting from the Lifeline program would be left without a wireless provider – the reason is that the passing of the proposal would prevent telecommunication resellers from offering Lifeline-subsidized service. A reseller is a company, like ours, that purchases capacity from a mobile network operator such as Verizon, T-Mobile, América Móvil, etc. and resells it directly to consumers. The proposal threatens business for resellers as well as the global connectivity of those living in poverty. The progress of technology is not slowing down anytime soon, meaning that if this proposal goes through, the 'Digital Divide' will be at risk of becoming unresolvable.
On top of looking to ban resellers from offering Lifeline-subsidized services, the FCC proposal also reveals their intention to place a spending cap on the Lifeline program which currently has no hard cap. The current budget of the Lifeline program sits at around $2.25 billion, but if the FCC's proposal were to be passed, government spending to the program would likely be drastically reduced, leaving a solid percentage of the qualifying individuals without the necessary resources to have their telecommunication services subsidized.
Lifeline beneficiaries may be confused as to why the FCC proposal seeks to perform major cuts in spending on the program given that just a couple years ago the government agency was doubling down on the Lifeline program. Well, a couple years ago the FCC was a Democratically dominated one. Although the current FCC is a Republican-dominated one, this proposal does not hold a uniform political backing. Both liberals and conservatives have come out to express their disagreement with the proposal. Per ArsTechnica, the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF) and the Free State Foundation, two groups that supported the FCC's repeal of net neutrality rules, both released statements [1] [2] that expressed their disagreement with the FCC's proposal. In the aforementioned letter drafted by the Democratic Senators, a statement was made:
"It is your obligation to the American public, as the Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, to improve the Lifeline program and ensure that more Americans can afford access, and have means of access, to broadband and phone service. Your proposal accomplishes the exact opposite – it takes resources out of the hands of the most vulnerable Americans."
– U.S. Senators
How We Can Save Lifeline
It is important for anyone who is opposed to the FCC's proposal to act now. The FCC has already begun making changes to the Lifeline program as evidenced by their removal of the additional subsidies the residents of tribal lands used to be eligible to receive. You can have a role in saving the Lifeline program in one of three ways, as provided by the Save Lifeline Organization.
We are doing our part to save the Lifeline program, having partnered with the National Lifeline Association (NaLA). NaLA, home to everything Lifeline, is a non-profit dedicated to the continuity of the Lifeline program, per their website. The members at NaLA are avid protectors of the Lifeline program and are one of the leading organizations in the field. We, along with companies such as Life Wireless, Stand Up Wireless, Assist Wireless, Safety Net Wireless, etc., have chosen to partner with NaLA because we believe in their organization and method of work. Their experienced professionals educate and advocate the benefits of the Lifeline program to the American public.
**These two resources are all you need to make a noticeable difference. Take 3-5 minutes of your day to save a program that impacts millions of your American brothers and sisters. Every voice matters.**

Part 1 of this series covered squat mobility assessment - simple tests you can use to determine what might be limiting your squat.
In Part 2 will look at some ways to improve your hip mobility if you found a limitation or experienced pain/pinching in your hip during your assessment.
Below are four of my go-to exercises to improve hip mobility and comfort in the bottom position. You can view this as a progression from more passive techniques to active/loaded techniques to help maintain gains in mobility long-term.
Banded Lateral Distraction
This is a great one to use if you do experience pinching in the front of your hip. I've found with many athletes that the distraction force from the band helps to reduce or eliminate the pinch.
Bench Hip IR mobilization
This one is a bit of an advanced version of the first exercise. DO NOT work through any pain/pinching in this one. Either limit the range of motion or stick to the first drill until you can better tolerate this one.
90/90 Hip Pails & Rails
This next drill comes from Dr. Andreo Spina of Functional Range Conditioning. It is a great way to actively work on improving strength/control at the end ranges of your hip mobility. I rushed through the demonstration a bit but feel free to take your time in each position to stretch and gradually ramp up and ramp down the intensity of the contraction. After 1 cycle, move further into the stretch and repeat as many times as needed.
Paused Goblet squats
Goblet squats allow for a more upright torso and therefore greater depth in the squat. Loading the squat and spending time in the bottom the most effective way to improve squat mobility long term, in my opinion.
Thanks for reading and watching. Now go crush your next squat day!

Issue 34 features the work of Bernard Gadd, a New Zealand poet, editor and anthologist. Two sample poems can be found here: Legends of Phar Lap by Bernard Gadd, and Out of the archives by Nancy J. Thompson.
A trip to London, Surrey and the South of England in 2006 permitted me to make a number of visits to British libraries and bookshops including Waterstones, a very large bookshop in London's Trafalgar Square. It was enlightening (and dismaying) to discover very few poetry collections, anthologies of poetry or poetry magazines in any of these locations and little or no contemporary poetry of any kind – British or otherwise. The poetry sections of bookshops and libraries occupy a minuscule amount of shelving, and what's there is almost entirely British 'mainstream', more or less as described by Sarah Broom in PNZ 33 – technically sound but relatively boring and written in a narrow range of conservative styles confirming a view that what appears in most New Zealand literary journals is much more vigorous and exciting.
And again, as demonstrated by Sarah Broom and as often seen in PNZ, there's vigorous and exciting poetry in the UK, but the near impossibility of ending it there is a sad reflection on the current state of poetry in the British Isles. Worse, and in spite of an assiduous search in London and Southwest England, it was even more difficult to and any New Zealand poetry or action there except for a woebegone copy of Maurice Gee's Plumb in the rather modest West Horsley Library. In contrast however, even the smallest of corner stores offered a reasonable selection of New Zealand wines! This is significant because it demonstrates how well New Zealand's wine producers have done in accessing the British market, while New Zealand book publishers have done so very poorly in comparison.
British publishers, whose long-established outlets in New Zealand sell millions of dollars worth of books in this country, appear to have little or no interest in trying to market elsewhere the few New Zealand books they publish here. New Zealand book publishers exacerbate this failure, never having adopted the common-sense solution of the wine makers, nor established their own promotion and distribution network in Britain. They prefer going to Frankfurt and other overseas book fairs with little success in trying to sell subsidiary rights to overseas publishers.
It is possible to interest British readers in what's written elsewhere. In 2004 I read and spoke at Lauderdale House in London, and last October at very short notice I read at the Guildford (UK) Book Festival. Both events created a very good response to New Zealand writing. Poetry and action publishers in New Zealand need to take a more vigorous and creative approach to marketing and distributing New Zealand writing overseas.

I was a prince
of horses
an Augustus
paeans and limericks are long overdue
it's not I'm forgotten by all but few
but odes on a horse are not often perhaps
what writers can offer to kiwi Phar Laps
you'd have thought I'd have won
palladium stables
jockeys in gear
of Ethiopian glamour
I've still a sort of sainthood
a carcase divided
for shrines
and a market
in nail and shoe relics
whatever the rules that someone might bend
you know that I thundered along to the end
Depression time's thrippenny bettor's best friend
the honest oat-eater renown that's Phar Lap's
I was speed
a banker's account
forever red
my dreams were
canters on pasture
congress with mares
carrots and apples sweet
on the tongue
the name was hardly my choice to be frank
didn't redound as of premiere rank
though handy for punters to yell from the bank
as they knew from the cage that the race was Phar Lap's
in the end
I was another
abattoir beast
not an elegy marks such a slaughter by thugs
and the losses awaiting the best-betting mugs
but lines as if poured from discountable jugs
a literary literal last Lap collapse

Wild swans take the path of the sun . . . the wise step right out of the world. 175
Where have you gone, Amelia Earhart? You were
a photo op immortalized.
And wasn't Beech-Nut proud,
the village crowd thrilled
when you dropped in?
The hell of it is,
I can't remember
what you were selling
chewing gum, or coffee,
or ham
only the shock of seeing you in black and white
beaming back at me
from tired old files.
Amelia, you touched down, then left. Your cherry Life-Saver smile
should have banished
any depression,
but didn't. The village
still exists. The gray factory
still grinds. The air no longer reeks of peppermint,
but faces still are grim,
as if everybody in the village learned
you'd been plotting your escape the whole time,
and secretly packing away
the competition's Chiclets. (candy?)
