Rapture on Rosh Hashanah? Tribulation on Yom Kippur? Second Coming on Sukkot 2019? (Sept 16, 2012)
For many years I have looked for this time of the year for the Rapture of the church. As Jesus fulfilled the first four of the seven feasts given to Israel to celebrate at His first coming the rest of the feast will be fulfilled at the time of His second coming.
The timeline that I always thought was applicable to his second coming was:
! Rapture of Rosh Hashanah
2. Seven years of Tribulation starting on Yom Kippur
3. Second coming on Sukkot
The following link takes you to the feasts and its days for this year.
Happy Rosh Hashanah!

Well, so much for Rosh Hashana! No matter!…..counts were always to start on SUNDAYS ("….count from the first day of the week"!) Monday was Rosh Hashana, but the count can only begin on the Sunday AFTER Rosh Hashana. Also, Sunday, Sept 23 is LIBRA 1, the JUDGMENT SCALES (as to Belshazzar…"you are weighed in the balance and found wanting"….Daniel)…..and the JUDGMENT of the trib BEGINS at the SIGNING (starting the first 1260 days).
…..the Great Trump heralds Messiah's Return to & closes chances for repentance…thus LAST TRUMP.
…..final day of 40-day repentance which began Elul 1 (as 40 days Ninevah's call to repentance)
…..Book of Life closed
…..No more appeals (10 days of Awe over)
…..Jacob's troubles begin (Jerem 30:7)
…..Torah opened on Yom Kip as Gates/Doors open in Heaven (Rev 4:1 "Come up hither/John saw gates open)
…..only commanded FAST day
…..High Priest into Holy of Holies FACE to FACE (in God's Presence)…..I Corin 13:12, II Corin 3:18)
Here are the high points now……all speculation, of course:
A new 50-year Jubilee span (specifically that of the 121st Jubilee once all is figured with the -18 'unncounted years') must begin on a Yom Kippur, Tishrei 10 (Leviticus 25:8-15) which is the case when the trib ends at Yom Kippur 2019 which is 52 days past the Return. Of course the 52 days is the 75 days (30+45) minus the 23-day tilt loss. I.e. Yom Kippur 2019 minus 18 'uncounted' yrs is Yom Kippur 2001, exactly when the 121st Jubilee must begin (start of the 7th Millennium).
May 8, 2013 is YOM YERUSHALAIM (Jerusalem Day/anniv of June 7, 1967), IYYAR 28, the probable start of TEMPLE WORSHIP lasting exactly 2300 days to the day Jesus enters the Temple (to reconsecrate/Isa 63) w/ the Remnant 30 days after the Return. The Return is Sunday, Aug 18, 2019, minus the 23 days tilt loss as earth straightens, then plus 30 days mourning bringing the date to Sunday, Aug 25, 2019 (exactly 2300 days past May 8, 2013, Yom Yerushalaim).
If Temple Worship (Dan 8:13-14) starts on May 8, 2013, that is SEVEN MTHS (burying bodies/bldg 3rd Temple) past Oct 8-15, 2012 (Oct 8 = 8th Day Succoth/Tish 22), the possible Divine Mt Victory in the Israel (Ezek 38-39). We don't know if the 7 mths are 207 days (Jewish mths), 210 days (perf mths) or 213 days (Greg mths).
The TRUMP of God is blown on YOM KIPPUR; and Yom Kippur this year is WEDNESDAY, Sept 26, three days past Sunday, Sept 23, the likely day of the SIGNING. Three days later the Yom Kippur Trumpet Blast (LAST TRUMP/TRUMP of GOD) ends the 10 Days of Awe and raises/awakens the dead (RAPTURE). By Yom Kippur all opportunities for repentance are OVER and JUDGMENT is PASSED.
Yom Kippur, Sept 26, 2012, is also the end of the 188-day earthquake cycle; and the Rapture could be accompanied by an earthquake (even though no one knows WHERE that quake may occur).
Yom Kippur, Sept 26, 2012 (possible Rapture) plus 1260 days reaches the day a.c. satanically 'rises.' The first 1260 spans the Signing (Sunday, Sept 23, 2012) to the day a.c. is killed, the same day that the 1260-day Petra protection begins. There are three 1260 spans. 1260 Signing to a.c. breaks covenant/killed, 1260 days Rapture to 'resurrection' of a.c., 1260 days Petra Protection of the Remnant.
The one-yr warning (Jerem 51:46) is still very clear: Rosh Hashana, 2011 (Sept 29) to Sept 23, 2012 (SIGNING) is exactly 360 days (1 perfect/Millennial'straight earth' solar year).
Mid trib (1260 past Signing) is Sunday, March 6, 2016. Three days later (1260 past Yom Kip Rapture) is Wed, March 9, 2016. The only significance to March 6 is that it is PISCES 15, the exact middle of the 7th Mazzarot sign, that of the 'multiplication' of fish (believers) as the supernatural protection in Petra begins for the fleeing Jewish Remnant since this day is the FIRST day (upon seeing the a.c. IN the Temple to be 'worshipped') that the Remnant will begin to BELIEVE Scripture (heeding the 2 witnesses) and RUN. Three days later a.c. 'rises' on March 9, killing the 2 witnesses who rise after 3+ days.
Note that the reason Jesus' Entrance into the Temple is Aug 25 (just 7 days past the the Aug 18 Return) is that at the Aug 18, 2019 RETURN, the earth straightens (Isa 13:13, 24:1,19,20), losing 23 days (synchronizing both calendars and the Mazzarot….all 360 days each from then on). As the earth straightens ("days CUT SHORT"), Aug 18 reverts back to July 26, then plus 30 days mourning (Zech 12:10, 13:6) is Aug 25. If one does NOT subtract the 23 days, then Aug 18 plus 30 days mourning is Sept 17 which is exactly 1290 past mid trib. The END of the trib without the -23-day loss considered is Nov 1 which is 1335 days past mid trib.
The 3 days at mid trib (Mar 6-9, 2016 when a.c. is 'dead') will not be counted as the 3 days Jesus in tomb were 'not counted' in the 49-day count to Pentecost. Therefore the 3 days from SIGNING (Sept 23) to Yom Kippur, Sept 26 are NOT counted in a sense because of how the three 1260's span from each of those dates. The Hebrews fled Egypt on Nisan 14 but REALIZED their FREEDOM on Nisan 17 when the Red Sea opened.
If applicable, the Return is in 2019 and Rev 19 is the Chapter of His Return as well . Also Isaiah 19:19 is the verse that speaks of the Great Pyramid (timeline Rosh 2011-Rosh 2018) measuring 5779″ with the capstone/coinciding with the total of the Hebrew letters = 5779 as well. But I'm inclined to think that those thoughts touch upon numerology and not worthy of further study.
Remember that there are likely 18 yrs NOT COUNTED:
4 yrs Jesus' ministry (3.5 actual, but fractions of yrs never counted) as the TRINITY walked the earth with infinite possibilities of Resurrection, Salvation & Healings. Plus Jesus counted it all JOY to go to the cross meaning that the 120 Jubilees (6,000 full yrs) allotted to fallen man of GOD STRIVING w/ man (Gen 6:3) didn't include these ministry yrs.
2 yrs from Creation (man perfect & eternal) to the yr God started the 6,000-yr count for man, but only a year after the promise on a ONE year (when a Jubilee span could begin).
1-yr warning/Jer 51:46 (since the Promise IS the event/as Abr, Hana, Nebuchad, Eliz, Esther….etc).
1-yr Jesus' birth at age 0 (Birth) to age 1, since mths were never counted…only whole numbers in one's age.
1-yr Jesus' gestation (280 days) plus the 75 days remaining; & Church & Remnant need spiritual gestation.
1-yr Church's gestation (280 days + 75 remain)……part of BODY of CHRIST
1-yr Remnant's (part of BODY of CHRIST) gestation (280 days + 75 remain); two 75's will cancel each other out.
7-yr trib = Satan's yrs, Restrainer (H.S.) taken out of the way, mega occultism/Divinely-sent delusion
Thus, 18 yrs not counted; and Yom Kippur 2019 minus 18 uncounted yrs is Yom Kippur 2001,exactly when the 121st Jubilee has to start (start of 7th Millen).
Surely you are aware of the patterns that all still hold and the significant fact that a Biblical generation is 52 yrs;and 1967 to 2019 is 52 yrs. Jesus does return in the Rosh 2018 year of 5779 (end of the Pyramid timeline) and 1918 (Balfour Decl) plus 100 yrs is Rosh 2018. Also 1898 (Zion Conf) + 120 yrs is Rosh 2018 and 1948 plus 70 yrs is Rosh 2018 as well (+ SO MANY other FIG TREE patterns ending at Rosh 2018, the patterns Jesus told us to watch).
Basically, if the Rapture is YOM KIPPUR this year and the trib ENDS on YOM KIPPUR, 2019 (beginning the 121st Jub), then the entire trib is YOM KIP to YOM KIP (7 Jewish yrs); and from the above info, it seems to work out that way……..thus we look to this next SUNDAY-WEDNESDAY, Sept 23-26, possibly counted as one and the same day if those 3 days are NOT COUNTED w/ the Rapture possibly SUNDAY (TISHREI 7) since all other great events for Christians occurred on a SUNDAY (Jesus into Temple, Jesus' Resurrection, Pentecost). After all, the 3 days at mid trib which are likely 'not counted' (just as Jesus' 3 days in tomb were not counted) could likely balance ('cancel out') the 3 days from Signing to Rapture as not counted, becoming the 'same day' in a sense. Whatever the case, the big day is SOON and I thought it important for you to view the above scenario now before the 2nd day of Rosh Hashana passes giving way to possible discouragement (as if all of my unfulfilled dates haven't discouraged you enough! But be reminded that the Prophet Daniel said that the scenario would become CLEARER as the day approaches; thus giving up on the subject seems a little senseless since there seems to be so much to ponder as we find ourselves immersed presently in the High Holy Days!…………..J.H.
Sort of interesting:
The 2010 Chile earthquake (deepest ever) was in Concepcion measuring 8.8 and the Conception of Jesus was on the 8th day of the 8th Feast (because +280 days human gestation is Succoth, His Birth……7th Feast/Tabernacles).
The 8th Feast was the anniversary of CREATION (immaculate/Heavenly/eternal). Jesus fulfilled all of the 8 Feasts, of course (to the day). It's obvious that God perhaps wants the world to notice the current quakes and the numbers involved ("There shall be earthquakes in diverse places….").
The Concepcion quake was the first of the five which were each 188 days apart (all five 7.0 or above). The second quake was in CHRISTCHURCH, N.Z., again an interesting city NAME for the world to notice.
The next quake expected (6th one), if the 188-day pattern holds, is tomorrow (Eve of Yom Kippur). Even with all that, I still think it's coincidence, albeit mighty, astoundingly strange!
RAPTURE on TABERNACLES 2012
Hopefully the rampant, contagious 'SCOFFERITIS' has not taken hold of your thinking…..cause I'm still at it (since the Prophet Daniel said it would become CLEARER) and it is just that! (sound 'repetitive?')
NOTE the following:
1-yr warning (Jerem 51:46) Oct 8, 2011 (YOM KIPPUR/judg passed) to Mon, Oct 1, 2012 (SUCCOTH) = 360 days (1 perf yr)……(note that Feb had 29 days in 2012).
SUCCOTH, Monday, Oct 1, 2012, is LIBRA 8/perf judg via Jesus'# (if applic).
The RETURN is VIRGO 1, the 1st day of the Mazzarot cycle (Fri, Aug 23, 2019/VIRGO 1), 2520 past SIGNING Fri, Sept 28, 2012…..(a.c. not revealed until after the Church is gone, thus identity of 'signer' likely unrevealed).
The Return minus the 22-day loss (as earth straightens to a 360-day perf yr/Isa 13:13, 24:1,19,20) is AUG 1, VIRGO 1, AV 1 (2019)….both calendars & Mazzarot in perfect sync from then on….as at Creation.
30 days of mourning (Zech 12:10) later is SEP 1, LIBRA 1, ELUL 1 & the 45-day judg of the nations begins (Libra = judg), Isa 63…..Jesus into Temple w/ the Petra Jewish Remnant who will have CALLED Him back.
45 days (of judg of the Nations) after that is TABERNACLES, 2019, OCT 15, TISHREI 15, SCORPIO 15 (all in sync)…..end of trib. There can be no JOY until the Nations have been judged. The Nations will come UP to Jerusalem each yr at Tabernacles to worship the Lord.
2300 days Temple Worship (Dan 8) after MAY 15, 2013 (Israel's Statehood anniv) is SEPT 1, LIBRA 1, ELUL 1.
If that is the case, then the 7 mths burying/bldg 3rd Temple woul span Oct 15-22, 2012 to May 15, 2013 meaning that the N. Invasion of Israel following the Rapture would occur between Oct 1 and 15, 2012.
Monday, Oct 1, 2012/probable RAPTURE (Tishrei 15/Succoth/Tabernacles) plus exactly 2517 days (3 days short of 2520) is FRIDAY, AUG 23, 2019, the RETURN (VIRGO 1). The first of the three 1260's starts on the day of the SIGNING w/ the RAPTURE 3 days later on SUCCOTH. The SIGNING plus exactly 2520 days is the RETURN.
Mid trib FRIDAY, March 11, 2016 is the 1st day of the 13th mth, II ADAR 1….a.c. breaks covenant, sets self/image in Temple to be worshiped which is the Abom of Desolation/stops dy sacrifices/is killed. The a.c. satanically 'rises' three days later on MONDAY, March 15, when he kills the 2 witnesses (who rise 3.5 days later).
We have now passed Rosh Hashana and Yom Kipper 2012 because the CHURCH is PAST judgment with no reason for the 10 days of Awe of serious repentance & introspection because the Church is COVERED by the blood and already forgiven (in GRACE). The only day that concerns the Church at this point is the celebration of Succoth (Zech 14).
Remember that the Holy of Holies VEIL (only related to Yom Kippur) TORE at the Cross, eliminating forever the need for those awful 10 days of Awe. Forgiveness at the Cross either means TOTAL forgiveness (for those who accept the Gift of Salvation) or is DOESN'T. In other words, it seems obvious that the 5th and 6th Feasts (Rosh & Yom Kip) have been eliminated for the Church, and only the celebration of Succoth awaits the Church.
The trib (with the -22 day loss considered/days "cut short") ENDS at TABERNACLES as well (TISHREI 15, 2019). That day (w/ both calendars & the Mazzarot in sync/360 days each) is OCT 15, TISHREI 15, SCORPIO 15.
Do you think there is still the need to BLOW the TRUMPET for 10 days of REPENTANCE to start?!, or to send the AZAZEL/scapegoat w/ blood on its head out into the wilderness on Yom Kippur? The veil already tore at the cross, proving that those 10 awful days are forever over….only a memory. Why do you think TABERNACLES is the ONLY Feast that will be celebrated by the world during the 1000-yr Millennium?….notwithstanding that it is also JESUS' BIRTHDAY!
Monday (possible RAPTURE) Oct 1, 2012, TISHREI 15/Succoth is LIBRA 8 and Jesus enters the TEMPLE w/ the Remnant 7 yrs later (Isa 63) on LIBRA 1, exactly 2550 days later, matching the 2550 YEARS from 583 B.C. Destruction of 1st Temple to 1967, Temple Mt Reclaimed.
The Return is still in the ROSH yr of 2018 (5779) because Av 22 is still in the Rosh 2018 year. Thus the Pyramid Timelin of Rosh 2011 to Rosh 2018 still holds. Remember that 5779 is the ht in inches of the Pyramid (w/ the capstone) AND the Kelvin temp of the sun is 5779 as well (if applicable).
Of course all the patterns hold, ending at Rosh year 2018 (70 yrs, 100 yrs, 120 yrs, 52 yrs from 1967 to 2019, etc. +many others).
The entire trib is 2520 days which is 7 x 360 and also 9 x 280 (9 gestation periods); #9 = 9 planets, 9 digits, 9 Fruits of the Spirit, 90 age of Sarah, 99 age of Abr, 99 sheep safe, 9th hr Jesus gave up His Spirit, #99='Amen' in Hebrew, 9 lepers unthankful (only 1 thanked Jesus)…etc.
Note that at the Cross, 483 yrs (69 'wks' of yrs) were completed with 7 more yrs (the trib) to go to reach the 490 yrs of punishment for the Jews (for not keeping the Sabbaticals, Sabbaths, Jubilees…..etc). 490 is also 7 x 70. Jerem 30:7 speaks of those 7 remaining yrs.
The celebration of the 121st Jubilee (start of the 7th Millennium) will take place on SUCCOTH/TABERNACLES, 2019, with its 'legal start' 5 days before on YOM KIPPUR, 2019 (Lev 25:9….).
So, briefly, here is the scenario:
Signing Sep 28, 2012……+1260…….II Adar 1, 2016…..+1260…..Return Aug 23, 2019…..-22 days……Aug 1…+30….Sept 1…+45……Oct15, Tabernacles
Of course the Rapture is 3 days AFTER the Signing (Mon/Succoth, Oct 1). There are also 1290 days mid trib to Temple Entrance and 1335 days to the end of the trib (Daniel 12:11-12). The 1290 from mid trib with the minus 22-day loss considered is Sept 1, 2019 and w/out the 22-day loss is Sept 22. So too the 1335 from mid trib with the minus 22-day loss considered is Oct 15, Tabernacles, and w/out the 22-day loss considered, it is Nov 5-7. The straightening of the earth will change the months to 30 days each, thus the 1 or 2-day inaccuracies noted.
Thus the entire trib, if the above is valid, is TABERNACLES 2012 to TABERNACLES 2019, the most celebrated, anticipated of the Jewish Feasts. Jesus' BODY was born on Tabernacles (His Birthday) and the BODY of Christ (the Church) will likely be BORN into Heaven on the very same day……TABERNACLES………….J.H.

text: Brand Marketing ESPN Launches College Football Playoff Hype in Preseason W+K creates spot to build excitement for on-the-field championshipBy Ed Lamb|August 12, 2014 Share By Ed Lamb|August 12, 2014 Share ESPN is hard at work, creating buzz for the inaugural year of the College Football Playoff (CFP). Created by longtime partner Wieden+Kennedy, the "Who's In" campaign looks to reach fans of one of the 128 schools hoping to receive one of the 4 spots in the college football playoff. While Duke, Tulane and Georgia State merit less attention than Ohio State and Louisiana State, the message is that everyone who follows college football should be paying attention. The network needs them to. ESPN is paying $470 million dollars to the NCAA each year through 2025 for the exclusive television, radio, streaming and international rights to the year-end bowl games that will decide the top college football team. Recouping that $7 billion investment requires attracting advertisers who are willing to pay well to reach large audiences of college graduates and young adults. Citing estimates that sports media consultant Neal Pilson shared with CBS Sports, The Motley Fool reported in June that "in terms of impact … advertising rates and TV viewership will be about half as large as a typical Super Bowl—a potential audience of 50 million and 30-second ad rates of $2 million. By comparison, the [January] 2014 BCS National Championship captured just 26 million viewers, and most 30-second commercials cost near $1 million." The Motley Fool also noted that ESPN has to bring new game-level sponsors onboard for the short and long terms because the respective underwriters of the Fiesta Bowl and Orange Bowl, Tostitos and Discover, have canceled their contracts. Replacement sponsors have yet to be named, and the championship game itself, scheduled for Jan. 12, 2015, remains unbranded. Now in preseason hype mode, ESPN actually began educating viewers in June about the coming College Football Playoffs. An earlier W+K spot featured actor Sean Astin reprising his Rudy character to reimagine fictional Notre Dame teammates about the CFP format and game schedule. A W+K representative told AdFreak, "Our campaign is all about fans' excitement for the inaugural college football playoff season. Rudy is not only one of the biggest icons of college football, but he's also one of the sport's biggest fans. His passion for the game is representative of the passion of all college football fans."

Lepidoptera The Poplar Kitten Moth – Dicranura Bifida
Our illustration shows the arrangement of the white and grey on the wings of this moth, but the other Kittens (Bicuspis and Furcula) so closely resemble it that it is necessary to point out a mark of distinction. It will be observed that the fore wings are crossed by a broad grey band, edged with black. This band, in the present species, is almost of the same width throughout, its interior margin being almost straight, and the exterior one slightly concave. In Furcula, the outer margin of the band is generally sharply bent inward just below the costa. In Bicuspis the grey band varies considerably in shape, but both this and the dark blotch near the tip of the wing are more sharply defined than in the other two species.
The caterpillar is green, dotted with brown, and has a brown stripe on the back. This stripe is broken on the third segment, and widens out on the eighth and thirteenth segments. It feeds on the Poplar (Populus nigra) and Aspen (P. tremula).
When full grown it descends to the trunk of the tree, and constructs a very hard cocoon of a glutinous substance from its own body mingled with little pieces of the bark that it removes for the purpose. Thus made, the cocoon so closely resembles the surrounding bark that detection is very difficult. I have frequently found these cocoons on the inner surface of loose bark.
This moth is widely distributed, and may be searched for in June and July. The larva feeds during August and September.

Friday Australian Poem #5: Judith Wright "For a Pastoral Family"
This poem is in the 1985 collection Phantom Dwelling, in a section labelled "Poems 1979-1980". My correspondence with Judith Wright, who supported Neos from Issue 1, began in 1981. We exchanged only a few letters, but I really treasured them. Of "For a Pastoral Family" and the later poems, Ted Kennedy, late and famous Redfern turbulent priest, has written:
Tim Bonyhady, an art historian, asserted (Sydney Morning Herald 15/7/00) that Judith Wright's poetry suffered in her distraction into activism. I found what he said disappointing, in that nowhere does he credit Judith herself with any opinion at all about the debate over the so-called tension between poetry and her impulse to fight social causes. It appears to me a tribute to the accuracy of her own self awareness that she could accept that her capacity to write poetry could not be divorced from her need to express shame and responsibility regarding Aborigines, and for the destruction of the environment. She saw herself as now "grown up". In her maturity she developed a real concern for Aborigines and what whites had done to their race. She saw her activism as the expression of the one poetic sensibility where the same sensual passion was at work and all the different levels of concern played the same tune. "It's communication and memorability that make a good poem. It's got to be memorable enough to keep it with you," she said.
There is in her early poems a marvellous innocence which soothes but also stuns the mind. So evocative of that high New England tableland where she was born, "South of my days' circle, part of my blood's country/ rises that tableland, high delicate outline,! Of bony slopes, wincing under the winter." (South of My Days). And "Grass is across the wagon tracks/ and plough, strikes bone across the grass/ and vineyards cover all the slopes/ where the dead teams were used to pass." (Bullocky)…
…In her "For a Pastoral Family" she called to her brothers for their awareness:
Our people who gnawed at the fringe
of the edible leaf of this country
left all the margins of action, a rural security
and left to me
what serves a base for poetry,
a doubtful song that has a dying fall.
The poem is in five parts — "To my Brothers"; "To my Generation"; "For Today"; "Pastoral Lives"; "Change". The stanza Ted Kennedy quotes is from Part I. You may find the whole poem in Judith Wright Collected Poems (1994) pp. 406-409. Here is Part II.
II To My Generation
A certain consensus of echo, a sanctioning sound,
Supported our childhood lives. We stepped
on sure and conceded ground.
A whole society
extended a comforting cover of legality.
The really deplorable deeds
had happened out of our sight, allowing us innocence.
We were not born, or there was silence kept.
If now there are landslides, if our field of reference
Is much eroded, our hands show little blood.
We enter a plea: Not Guilty.
For the good of the Old Country,
the land was taken; the Empire had loyal service.
Would any convict us?
Our plea has been endorsed by every appropriate jury.
If my poetic style, your pastoral produce,
are challenged by shifts in the market
or a change of taste, at least we can go down smiling
with enough left in our pockets
to be noted in literary or local histories.
To cite Ted Kennedy again:
The same tap-root that transmits life to the summer blossom also provides the quiet sap for winter growth. "It takes emotional energy to write a poem", she said. When the vitality of youth became dim, she stopped writing poetry. But love persevered when passion faded. Hope for the land and for its people brilliantly survives. "A poetic sensibility is one that responds to the world with kindness and hope," she said.
"Every tree, " she once said, "has a right to exist." In one of her last poems she wrote, "I sit here now intent/ on poetry's ancient vow to celebrate lovelong/ life's wholeness, spring's return, the flesh's tune/ . ..there's an essential music still, a moon/ where no man's walked." She died two weeks after participating in the Reconciliation Walk in Canberra.
Judith Wright is a poet capable of finding an audience in what may seem unlikely places. Take this writer: "I know I shall keep returning to Judith Wright, and can only hope I can form some more of my own ideas before they are presented to me in somebody else's words." To clarify:
Being from a country that cannot seem to stop boasting about its ancient legacies and from a family whose own history goes back seventy-five generations, I find it incomprehensible how any self-respecting nation could spend over a century looking outside of itself for a 'heritage'. So an affinity with one who seemed to have the same disapprobation is natural. The Wrights and the Biggses, forefathers of Judith Wright, were originally British. However, she turned to her heritage that came down from 1827 when George and Margaret Wyndham first landed in Australia, caught in the cameo of her red-haired great-great-grandfather in 'Old House' and passing down through her father sitting with his tea, encircled by birds of all hues relating an anecdote in 'Reminiscence'. She was impatient with those to whom 'to plant a garden was to root out everything there already and replace it with roses, delphiniums and petunias and fence it with barbed wire and hedges of conifers' (Wright 1999). Just as any 'rooted' person anywhere in the world would do and appreciate done, she set out to translate into action what Veronica Brady calls the 'sense of noblesse oblige, a sense of duty' she inherited from her ancestors.
This is a poet who, true to the spirit of paradox, found beauty in seemingly insignificant, even unbecoming, things in pursuit of an identity for her own country — an 'Australian' identity as opposed to a Eurocentric or an English one. Hers were the pictures and idiom of 'Australia' born of a deep and abiding bond — again something that strikes a chord irrespective of physical distance. She addressed a cultural and natural heritage that Australian 'types' breathe life into: a returned soldier, the half-caste girl, the drover and inevitably, Old Dan; the bush (no longer an enemy as it had been in earlier bush poetry), a flame-tree, the tree frog, the Australian spring which 'is always the red tower of the may-tree, / alive, shaken with bees, smelling of wild honey' ('Child', Wright 1999), the death of a dingo in a trap and cicadas. Besides, in Preoccupations in Australian Poetry she reaffirmed the bloodline of 'Australian' poetry with due deference to predecessors Charles Harpur and John Shaw Nielson.
— Trivikrama Kumari Jamwal: "Judith Wright in Jammu" (Cordite Poetry Review Tuesday, December 7th, 2004.)
Do explore her work.
This pair of skin gloves is sixty-six years old,
mended in places, worn thin across the knuckles.
Snakes get rid of their covering all at once.
Even those empty cuticles trouble the passer-by.
Counting in seven-year rhythms I've lost nine skins
though their gradual flaking isn't so spectacular.
Holding a book or a pen I can't help seeing
how age crazes surfaces. Well, and interiors?
You ask me to read those poems I wrote in my thirties?
They dropped off several incarnations back.
Jim Belshaw has added some useful context on Judith Wright's later work.

Interesting post, Neil, if also challenging. As you might expect, I am inclined to do a companion post. In this context, searches on Judith Wright are the single biggest group on the New England blog. There is real interest out there, partially year 12 driven.
The difficulty in these later poems is that we are dealing not just with her activism, but also her disappointments, including at the end of her life the decline of her own family and the loss of the properties that she had loved.
I am not sure how to handle some of this, given some of the personal links.
I don't have her collected poems here, so I cannot check the full text.
The environmental line is not surprising. Created largely by her father's efforts, the New England National Park, part of the New England movements that I talk about, was I think the second national park created in NSW.
More later, including a response to your comment on PR.
Much later.
I have a number of her books still, including Five Senses. But now for our dialogue I do need a much more complete set so that I can look properly at the evolution of her writing.
I am very glad that you are extending the JW thread. Not only do I like her writing, but I can do something helpful with context.
Neil, I have put a post up on this now.

It is best to know the truth even when it hurts. Ignorance is bliss. Both of these statements are true because I believe they are both true. Truth is perception.
The truth isn't always the truth. Urban myths are a fascination of mine. I'll listen to whatever someone's sister's cousin's roommate told them, then wait till they are out of earshot and have a good laugh. Check out Snopes if you want to unlearn anything that sounds too weird to be true.
If a majority of people believe the truth to be false, then it is false. The Sun went around the Earth, but now it doesn't. The Earth was flat, but now it is round. Pluto was a planet…and still is, damn it. I don't care what they say.
"You will find that many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on our own point of view."
-Obi-Wan Kenobi
"Return of the Jedi"
People are going to believe what they want as long as it supports their point of view. People that watch one news channel say the other one does nothing but lie. The only time someone jumps the fence to the other side is when there is a convincing enough argument.
The truth hurts when we don't want to hear it and more so the more we don't want to hear. Do you really want to know your butt looks big in those jeans even if you ask? What if the person said your butt looks big without you asking? The more it hurts, the more likely the person is going to think it is a lie or are just being cruel.
White lies and half truths are a necessary evil in modern society. They help us get along with the people we don't like, protect the feelings of those we do like and maybe land that job that you really need. Does anyone answer the "What is your worst flaw?" question truthfully and expect to get hired? Well, yes, but they are only lying to themselves. The person that is honest and says their worst flaw is punctuality is going to lose the job to the person that lies.
This brings me to the 800-pound gorilla on the internet: wikileaks. I think wikileaks is an effective tool when they shed light on human rights violations. I think they need a better focus on what they release because not everything needs to be known. The latest batch of wikileaks shed light on what I already knew, ambassadors don't always like each other. For me, if ambassador A thinks ambassador B is a tool that's fine as long as they get along. Ambassador B doesn't need to know A thinks less of him, that's only going to strain the relationship and make the job those two ambassadors harder to accomplish.
In the same release, they put out information that may have been used to bring down the corrupt government in Tunisia. The important stuff gets lost when you don't focus. If you don't have focus and treat everything as important, people don't take you seriously, or worse, take you seriously for all the wrong reasons.

Good morning and happy Thanksgiving, everyone. Today, as most days, I'm thankful for caffeine. Probably would help if I was drinking some, but I'll start with a pumpkin muffin. Welcome to my annual parade live blog. That means I'll be updating frequently as time goes on.
I missed part of the roll of stars so we arrive in the middle of the opening performance—which begins with a Black-Eyed Peas song. Well that's a bad omen.
The Biggest Loser is tackling childhood obesity this year. I do think that's great, but if you really want to lick that problem, get families back to the dinner table together. And see what you can do about reducing the amount of processed grains in everything.
Elf is a Broadway musical now. I know this sounds awful, but the guy playing Buddy looks like he ate Will Farrell. I suppose this is a more realistic portrayal of a character raised on pure sugar. Yes I know I'm fat too, that's not my point.
Hey, live-blogging on WordPress turns out to be fantastic. You just hit Update and you're good to go. This song from Elf, not so fantastic. It's repetitive and boring, and still on. I love the movie but I'll give the musical a pass.
No comment on this song with Matthew Broderick. Okay, one comment: Yawn.
Jenna, it's not called the Macy's Day parade. Duh. Also, that 1600 Penn show looks absolutely horrible. I wouldn't watch it with a gun to my head.
How topical! They're bringing back Annie this year, and giving us a song about how the Depression is depressing. When I heard they were gonna do a song from Annie I feared the worst. And you all know what the worst is. Since I have no interest in this song, I've used the opportunity to change my theme. I didn't mind the old one, but it has this horrible typography plugin that was aggressively overhyphenating everything. Seems to me if you love typography you wouldn't treat it like that.
Apparently Broadway doesn't so much have any new musicals this year. Next up is Rogers & Hammerstein's Cinderella. It's a classic, at least.
I don't care, Al, I'm still never watching Revolution.
American Airlines just did the best commercial honoring veterans I've seen in a long time. Huge respect to them for that.
"If you are a dog lover and anticipating your version of the Super Bowl…." Oh gads, Al. Great frelling gads, you do not get to demean the king of all sports that way. And I'm speaking no ill of the National Dog Show or of dog lovers. It's just that you're comparing apples and the Vince freaking Lombardi trophy.
Holy crap this high school musical song ("I Got You") is terrible. I missed the name of the actual show it's from. Lyrical sample: "I got you like Pokemon and Pikachu." It doesn't get better. Oh wait, now it's over; I stand corrected.
I see some balloon previews. Charlie Brown is making his way along the streets of Manhattan. Does this mean there's no Snoopy? Because that's kind of a bummer. Fortunately, the Rockettes are here to cheer me up.
And here we go, coming up on 10 AM it's time for the official start of the parade. And the first balloon. Hello, Kitty! She's flying a plane this time; looks kind of small for her.
This isn't really a new revelation, but Chris Isaak has a fantastic voice.
Look, I don't care how much your kid likes puppies. Parents, stop buying those stupid "____ Buddies" and Santa Paws movies Disney keeps puking out. Something like 99 cents on the dollar are probably going to line the pockets of corporate stooges who want to make it illegal for you to whistle, and the other cent is paying one of the crap writers who came up with the "dialogue".
Tom Turkey is back again, and Geoffrey Zakarian is riding this time. Behind him we have Kermit's balloon.
Carly Rae Jepsen is on top of the youth hockey float bringing us a song: This Kiss. I like this one. Haven't disliked one of her singles yet. Yes, I enjoy bubblegum pop, and don't give me any lip about it.
Charlie Brown is chasing the football. Lucy Van Pelt is nowhere to be seen. Nor is a DVD version of Race For Your Life, Charlie Brown—what's that all about? Ah, there's Lucy, and Snoopy, and Linus. No Snoopy balloon. More Rockettes, please.
The Sesame Street float is back. Portions by Elmo may be prerecorded. I hear the show isn't what it was when I was a kid, which is a shame, but I hope it stays around as at least some shadow of its former glory for a long, long time.
Here comes Kung Fu Panda. You know, I've still never seen that movie, or the sequel. I'd really like to, I just never got to it.
Now we have a Gibson Guitar float with Jimmy Fallon. I thought Gibson was facing severe financial troubles after some idiot bureaucrats gave them the runaround for violating import laws (for freaking wood) they didn't actually violate. Glad to know they're still around—Gibson, that is. Also Jimmy Fallon. I love this guy's energy.
Memo to all blogging and comment platforms everywhere: A double hyphen is an acceptable way of entering a long dash. Let me use it.
Now a number celebrating… Mexico. Uh, yeah. Look, I'm all for celebrating cultural diversity, but this is like having Santa at a St. Patrick's parade. Makes no sense.
Karmin is performing now, at an accelerated tempo, which is really funny to watch. They can't even breathe while lip-syncing at that pace.
I've never heard of this Julius character in the balloon. He's a monkey. I feel old. They're followed up by the Oneida float. Now in the context of Thanksgiving, this makes sense.
That commercial with Phil Mickelson always freaks me out, because he has the worst crazy eyes I've ever seen. He looks like he's plotting to kill literally everyone. Watching him pull out a baseball bat is terrifying.
Don McLean, singing American Pie. Really? He was introduced before the break as "America's great Don McLean". Really? Who didn't you book? Oh gads, his singing has gone downhill too. Spider-Man, you know where to aim that web. Fun fact: They're gonna reboot this balloon every two blocks.
Power Rangers Megaforce is performing in front of Macy's now. Or… was. That didn't last long. I never got into that show when it was big, on account of it looked incredibly stupid. Speaking of inexplicably popular, boy band The Wanted is on the Hess float. I kid of course; I've heard worse, though their songs universally fail to inspire. This falsetto has me wondering though if they're gonna be to a future generation what the Bee Gees are to mine, by which I mean heavily mocked.
There goes Pikachu, and now that Mindless Self-Indulgence song is in my head. You know the one. You're welcome.
Here are the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I know Donatello is supposed to be the nerd, but isn't he a little pale even for that? Neon Trees is performing "Everybody Talks" behind them. Gads I hate this song. Something about it annoys me in exactly the opposite way that "Animal" rocked.
Holy cow, this is awesome. There's an '80s dance number performing now. Love it.
Kidz Bop is singing on a float. They're singing something kid-appropriate for the first time ever, the ridiculously dated and tired "ABC" by the Jackson 5. Normally they're bringing kids covers of songs that kids should have minimal exposure to.
I don't buy Whoopi Goldberg as a pirate. Especially after those Poise commercials. And here's another balloon I've never heard of. No idea who Rex the Dragon is either.
Papa Smurf is making his way down the street now, doing promos for their new unrequested sequel. I like that this year we get a specific smurf.
Another great commercial from American Airlines honoring our vets. What got into these guys? I want to hug somebody for these ads.
The Spirit of America dance team is performing in very weird masks after being inspired by Lady Gaga. I recognize Lady Gaga is a legitimately talented artist, but seeking her out as a source of inspiration is kind of like seeking out celebrities as a source of spiritual wisdom.
This next balloon is freaking bizarre. It's the signature character of an artist named Kaws, called Companion. If you missed it, I'll let you Google it if you don't especially value sleep. It's not difficult to see why they managed to name Tim Burton in the same sentence while talking about the artist.
Oh gads, Flo Rida. This yutz is everywhere. I hate, hate, hate every single one of his songs with their horrendous Auto-tune whine, and you can't get away from them because they're played on a continuous loop on every pop station in the country and in every movie promo. Nicki Minaj rage scale: 9.
Folgers, a brand that has notoriously gone downhill, brings back their new classic "You're my present this year" commercial. Still love that commercial. It's right up there with the classic "It's Peter" from the '80s.
The Breakfast Clowns just went by, and now I'm craving toast. Some kid's farm show called Sprout has a weird song about squeaking.
Kool-Aid Man! Oh yeah! Wait, they said Kool-Aid is launching two new flavors next year: watermelon and lemonade. Lemonade? That's not a new flavor, you morons! If they're launching it that means they're just plain bringing back a flavor they discontinued. And why in the world did they discontinue it in the first place?
Sailor Mickey is coming. For the privilege of seeing him, you now owe Disney $2.47. Hey, I don't make the rules. Yet.
Oooh, more bubblegum pop. This is Megan & Liz, listener favorites from I Heart Radio. I haven't heard this on the radio yet, because that jerk Flo Rida was busy monopolizing it. Seems like pop has become polarized in recent years; there's no middle-of-the-road good stuff. Ten years ago the Corrs performed "Breathless" in the parade; now there's a pop song.
No, I'm not going to watch 1600 Penn, I told you. I don't care if Bill Pullman is the president. If he's not firing missiles at aliens, I'm not gonna watch. But may the Schwartz be with him anyway.
Sonic the Hedgehog is here. Remember when Sonic was awesome? (If you're younger than 25, the answer is no.)
NBC is telling us we can share why we're thankful by using the hashtag #WhyImThankful. I'm thankful I don't use Twitter yet.
Ronald McDonalad has arrived, which reminds me I have a bacon egg & cheese biscuit in the fridge. I was gonna nuke it halfway through the parade, but then I realized I can't eat that and type.
Colbie Caillat has a Christmas song to perform. I do enjoy her voice, but I wonder if I could take an entire Christmas album in this style. Guess I'll have to head to Amazon to preview some tracks to find out. (Update: Turns out the answer to my question is no.)
OfficeMax brings us the Heartland Hoedowners, who are clogging their little hearts out. It's cute, and one of the best dance numbers of the day. These kids are seriously talented, and some of them are quite young. Fantastic job, guys.
Nickelodeon star Rachel Crow is singing on the Dora float. Her voice is failing to impress me. Oh well, as long as her musical output once she grows up doesn't suck.
Aflac! I kinda wish the guy from the commercials who always shows up was leading the float. I also kinda wish we had a float with the Allstate mayhem guy, though I guess everyone would be afraid to be near it.
Ack! I have nothing against Trace Adkins personally, but I'm allergic to country.
Um… the Elf on the Shelf balloon looks like Big Boy. Now I deeply, deeply miss TJ's Big Boy in Fairmount, and even more I miss my grandparents who we used to always go there with.
Local commercials. Gianelli sausage shows us simmering links and an omelette. 5:00 is a long, long way away.
"The Nutcracker and his furry nemesis Mouse King" are on bicycles. The Nutcracker's nemesis is a mouse king? I never knew the story. I don't get ballet.
Cody Simpson. More bubblegum pop: "Wish You Were Here". Liking this quite a bit too, actually. Behind him, here comes Buzz Lightyear, reminding me I still haven't seen Toy Story 3. I actually want to rewatch 1 and 2 first, but I can't get through the Sarah McLachlan song in Toy Story 2 without crying. It's worse than the commercials with the animals for me.
Another Nickelodeon singer, Jennette McCurdy. Nice voice, good cover of this Christmas song ("That's What Christmas Means to Me"). I could use more of the accompaniment though; it needs some punch.
There's a Wreck-It Ralph commercial. Go see that; it's terrific.
Mannheim Steamroller brings us the classic "Silver Bells" in their inimitable style. And behind them, there's a truck full of newsies heralding the character Virginia from that animated special I still can't be bothered to see. And now, the final musical number. I can't make out the lyrics but it's something about Santa and books and cheering.
The classic Macy's balloon elves are leading the way for Santa Claus. It looks like they're continuing the same song on his float.
Watching all that confetti come down makes me really wish for snow. Not right this minute, but I kind of wish it would snow tomorrow. Guess we'll have to wait for the weekend. This also means I'm going to have to do some hardcore cleaning to get ready for the tree. This season has really snuck up on me this year. And now, the parade is finished, and it's time to endure the long wait until the devouring of the great bird. Have a happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Visitor's Question from a 13-15 year old Male
okay so i've been dating a girl for over five months. every single day our relationship gets better. I've looked over the site here and i see a lot of good things on here that i see in our relationship. we both care about each other and its more of a...sort of emotional relationship i guess. not so much physical. I'm one of those people who won't say love until i mean it and i dont plan on having sex till i find someone i love...but with this relationship i'm just amazed. we are both there for each other and all that.
it's a really strong relationship and we dont get jealous that often, if we do we work it out. we work out all our problems. but this is the one big one we haven't worked out...because we dont talk about it. I'm a junior and she's a freshman.
i see nothing wrong with that but its when i graduate from school...thats where the problem lies. I dont know what to do because i dont know if she's really gonna want to stay with me and work on a long distance relationship. we always just shrug it off and all that. I just want to enjoy my time with her but i honestly dont know how long that will be with me going off to college. and i know people change... we might not be together then but i honestly think we will be.
i guess i just want some...security ya know? i want to know what the future for us holds. how would i go about asking her about it and when should i? is it too soon to ask now? i know she gets upset when we think about the future sometimes. any help would be greatly appreciated.
RomanceClass.com Advice
It's great that you two are getting along so well and are so well matched. Really, worrying about something that is going to happen a year and a half from now is pretty fruitless, though. There's really no way you can ask her what she will do then, because her entire mindset will probably be MUCH different by that point. You guys will have been together for 4 times as much time as you are now. Your relationship will be vastly different. The way she thinks about high school will be different, because she'll have been in it for 2 years, not just getting used to the first year. There is no way to answer now how you will feel then.
You need to build your relationship with faith - that if you guys are really still in love and a great match, that you'll find a way to make it work. Tons of people do long distance relationships and they work if both people actively care. So if you guys are at that state at that point, it will work. If you aren't, it'll be moot.
So enjoy what you have now, and work on building and reinforcing the relationship. That's what will make the question of "what to do" even possible in a year and a half. But trying to *plan* now or ask for "what will we do" now is all very premature. You'll know when the time comes.

On May 25, 2012, four people were gunned down in broad daylight on Bruce Randolph Avenue -- and two of them, Justin O'Donnell (seen here) and Deon Rudd, died of their injuries. Now, two men -- Marquise Davis and Denzel Richardson -- have pleaded guilty in relation to this tragedy. But what led to it? According to the Denver District Attorney's Office, the shooting was an attempt at gang retribution for an incident in which neither O'Donnell nor Rudd took part, leading a prosecutor to deem the killings among the most senseless he's seen in his career. Details below.
At about 2 p.m. on the 25th, as we've reported, members of the DPD arrived at the 3300 block of Bruce Randolph Avenue to find that four men had been shot.
Two -- O'Donnell, 21, and Rudd, 30 -- were pronounced dead at the scene, while the other pair -- Victor Casillas and William Middleton -- were rushed to a local hospital for treatment; they'd each been hit in the leg. Meanwhile, officers searched for a pair of armed suspects who reportedly approached the quartet, drew weapons and fired multiple rounds before fleeing on foot.
In the aftermath of the DPD's arrival, O'Donnell's body was left in clear sight of approximately one-hundred onlookers, including his mother. The outcry over this action was considerable, but Detective John White, a police spokesman, justified the action, saying that investigators needed an undisturbed crime scene in order to do their work, and pointing out that vehicles were rearranged in an effort to at least partially obstruct views.
Within days, Davis and Richardson were taken into custody at separate Aurora residences -- and the now-unsealed arrest affidavit for Davis, on view below in its entirety, reveals what led to their arrest.
According to the document, a witness told investigators that he drove Davis, also known as Swift, and Richard, aka G Rue, to the area of Bruce Randolph and York, at which point they dismounted and headed northbound on Gaylord Street. Moments later, the witness heard gunshots and was ready to drive off when the pair came running toward the vehicle, which spirited them away. However, images of men fitting their description was caught by video surveillance at Rocky Mountain Wellness Center. Both of them could be seen carrying hand guns.

Earlier this month, Davis pleaded guilty to two counts of second-degree murder and one count of retaliation against a witness, while Richardson did likewise in relation to a pair of second-degree-murder charges. But why did they open fire on O'Donnell, Rudd, Casillas and Middleton in the first place?
Continue for more about the guilty pleas in the O'Donnell-Rudd murders, including additional photos, the arrest affidavits, two videos and more. We put that question to Denver District Attorney's Office spokeswoman Lynn Kimbrough, who says, "It was a gang-rivalry situation. The defendants were associated with the Bloods and had been feuding with some Crips members" after an incident in which Davis "had been run down by a car a couple of days earlier."
Davis and Richardson went out in search of the Crips who'd been responsible for the incident, but Kimbrough says, "they couldn't find them. And then they happened upon our victims, perceived them to be Crips and began shooting at them."
This was an act of anger by association, Kimbrough stresses. The four people shot "had no association with what happened a few days earlier, and at least one of the victims who died had no association with gangs at all."
In the end, Davis was charged with retaliation because, Kimbrough notes, "It was alleged he specifically shot and killed Justin O'Donnell" over the run-down. Hence, he'll receive slightly more time than Richardson: Davis will be sentenced to 64 years in prison on September 26, while Richardson is expected to get sixty years the following day.
These stints won't bring back O'Donnell or Rudd, of course. Kimbrough quotes the prosecutor in the case as saying "this may have been the most senseless homicide he's ever seen -- and he's been prosecuting gang cases for quite a while."
Look below to see booking photos of Davis and Richardson, followed by the arrest affidavit, an interactive graphic of the area near where the shooting took place (if you have problems seeing the image, click "View Larger Map") plus two 9News reports -- one from the day of the shooting, the other noting the arrests of Davis and Richardson.

#WONDERWOMEN: How Kazakhstan's female activists change society?
By: Anar Kassymova
Social changes never come by themselves. They are always driven. Driven by the incredible efforts, by the unshakable faith and by continous enthusiasm of activists, who dare to bring positive changes to solve the existing problems. On the International women's day, we would like to share with you the inspiring stories of three Kazakhstani women, who work towards building a safer, more inclusive and just society for all.
Anar Rakhimbayeva – the co-founder of "Dom Mamy" social fund
Anar Rakhimbayeva is a doctor, a mother of seven, and an MBA degree holder, who was the head of the Sales Department of BI Group for over 10 years. In 2013, she and her husband founded the "Dom Mamy" ("Mom's Home") social fund providing assistance to young women, who are planning to give their children up for adoption.
In the "Mom's Home" the women are provided with shelter, psychological and medical help, and are assisted with the recovery of their identification documents, registration for welfare benefits, getting an education and finding a job. But more importantly, the women are given time and an opportunity to enjoy motherhood in a safe environment and to think over their initial decision. Today, there are 25 Mom's Homes across the country that are supported by 17 entrepreneurs.
Over five years since the Fund was commissioned, over 3000 children stayed with their biological mothers and were saved from a life in an orphanage. The aim of the Fund is to get rid of the social orphanhood in the country. That is why in 2016 the Fund launched a project called "Zhanuya" ("Nest") whose aims are two-fold: the first one is to support the adoption and the second is to support women orphanage graduates. . The center of adoption support "Zhanuya" provides consultations on adoption, courses for the host parents and support the family after adoption.
«The difficulties associated with a kid's adaptation are inevitable and the parents have to be aware of them. Knowledge and skills that form parental competence and a mature, balanced decision is what should be in the arsenal of the family that is preparing to adopt a child" – says Anar Rakhimbayeva.
The Fund advocates for the improvement of the legislation in the area of protecting the rights of children to ensure the right of every child to have a family.
Khadicha Abysheva – the founder of the Legal center of women's initiatives "Sana Sezim"
Khadicha Abysheva founded Legal center of women's initiatives "Sana Sezim" seventeen years ago. Over all this time, "Sana Sezim" has been providing free and confidential legal, social and -psychological help to vulnerable people, whose rights were violated, such as victims of domestic violence and human trafficking. To streamline efforts, she also opened a shelter for the victims of domestic violence and human trafficking in 2016.
"I worked in a school for a long time and I saw a number of people who had different challenges that made them suffer. Most of these people were women and kids. That was when I made a decision to start helping them" – says Khadicha Abysheva.
Since its inception in 2001, "Sana Sezim" has set up an efficient network for interaction with state structures, law enforcement agencies, and the media to provide services for vulnerable people. Thanks to her work hundreds of victims of violence and trafficking have found the much-needed help. Besides providing shelter, the center helps to reintegrate the victims of violence into society and to help them regain faith in themselves.
Khadicha Abysheva says that the biggest motivator for her is the realization of the impact that her work has on other people. "My life motto is to be faithful to myself, to be decent with other people, and to be proactive in everything" – says the head of the center.
Kamila Rollan - the founder of "School For All" inclusive education center
Kamila Rollan is a founder of "School For All" inclusive education center, where children with and without special needs learn and develop together. Her path towards becoming an advocate for inclusion started in 2012, when she as the president of Nazarbayev University Red Crescent Society initiated the academic support courses under the name "The WeekEnd School" for children from low-income families, migrant backgrounds, and with mobility-related disabilities.
The project has been successfully ongoing for four years. In November 2016, she together with her team members registered "Education For All" NGO to transform the WeekEnd School project into an inclusive educational center and to dedicate her professional life to the field of inclusive education.
"School For All" is now a social enterprise aimed to serve all children including those with intellectual and behavioral disabilities, who are often denied the access to mainstream education in Kazakhstan.
"I am doing research in the field of Inclusive Education and completing my Master's program, and I also studied at University of Minnesota and Tsinghua University, participated in various training programs and seminars, interned locally and abroad. I believe this knowledge must be put into actions, otherwise what is its value? School For All project is an actual contribution of me and our team to the development of equitable and open society" – says Kamila Rollan.
The major difficulty of managing and promoting such project is cultural stigmatization of children with disabilities, as Kamila admits. Therefore, one of the central goals is to celebrate diversity of learners.
"Some children who attend our center have never been to school, neither special nor mainstream one. They are taught at home in isolation. Our center, therefore, became the only mainstream educational environment, where they can study, develop with their peers, and make friends. Seeing their joy and progress assures me that my endeavor is worthy and my life is meaningful,"- says Kamila.
Currently, Kamila Rollan also works as an expert for "Social Trust Foundation" public fund and completes her Master's Degree in Inclusive Education at Nazarbayev University.

With the upcoming Survivor: Millennials vs. Gen X returning to the islands of Fiji, contributor Cam Kuhn looks at what other previous locations could be revamped for future Survivor seasons.
Survivor fans…here we go again. Where in the world is Jeff Probst?
After 32 seasons and 18 countries, Survivor is returning to one of Jeff Probst's favorite locations: Fiji. And while Fiji was not one of the higher rated seasons, the location itself was nothing short of spectacular. Landing in the South Pacific ring of islands with its other Survivor sister locations: Samoa, Cook Islands, Marquesas, and Vanuatu; Fiji offers beautiful white sandy beaches, towering cliffs and crystal blue water ideally suited for water challenges.
Pleased with the decision to return to a gorgeous location that maybe wasn't appreciated the first time, I decided to look at some other locations that Survivor could return to and revamp its setting.
Vanuatu, much like Fiji, I believe is overlooked because of the overall outlook on the season. However, Vanuatu has just as much to offer, if not more, as Fiji. The water and beach shots were beautiful back in 2004 well before Survivor switched to high definition. The cannibalism theme mixed with the presence of volcanoes made for lots of interesting designs and graphics for challenges and Survivor props.
And lest we forget that Vanuatu had an earthquake, an earthquake!! And who doesn't want to see a hidden immunity idol designed after the skulls of the dead? I think this location could very much be revamped and be very pleasing to the viewer's eye.
While I'm sure this would cost a very pretty penny, revisiting Australia would hit some hard-core nostalgia. Season two has more all-stars than any other Survivor season- coming in at 8, and it was the most viewed season of all time. It gives an exotic locale other than beaches and coconuts; it has stunning views of wildlife, and what I wouldn't give to have another tribal on top of a waterfall.
Australia also provided for a lot of natural disasters- wildfires, floods, and massive thunderstorms. Would a true Survivor fan learn from the mistakes of their predecessors?
Cook Islands
Much like many of the early Survivor installments, the lack of high-definition filming does not do a location justice. If you were to ask me where I think the most beautiful location is, I'd be pressed to say the Cook Islands. I wasn't fond of the tribal council, as elaborate as it was, but I do like the shipwrecked theme. The location provides plenty of areas for water challenges, lots of beaches for camps, and maybe, this time, we will have a division other than down racial lines.
Survivor: Cook Islands filmed in summer of 2006, so what a perfect ten year anniversary to return and revamp? And as a Survivor superfan, I wouldn't be able to escape the idea that I was walking the same beaches as Parvati Shallow, Jonathan Penner, Ozzy Lusth, and Candice Cody.
I miss stylized Survivor seasons. One could argue that China was the last truly stylized season. Right on the cusp of the HD switch, China provided stunning images and rewards like no other. Does anyone else remember that some of the rewards for this season included trips to the Great Wall, a Buddhist temple, and the home of martial arts? While the camps were a little lack-luster, the elements did not make it easy for the castaways, and I wouldn't mind seeing that again.
China also offered a land-locked location where you could have water challenges, which is very rare for a Survivor location. I can't imagine a scenario where we return to China, but I certainly wouldn't complain.
After a while, these South Pacific islands all begin to look the same. They all have the tiki-themed setup and provide the same overhead shots of waterfalls and miles of palm trees. However, if Survivor is looking for another Brawn vs. Brains vs. Beauty where they just need good beaches with good shots, why not return to the home of Boston Rob?
Located in Tahiti, Marquesas would probably look fantastic fifteen years later. It was the first location where castaways could be self-sufficient with what was provided on the island. And who doesn't want to see the return of players eating fish that's been sitting out in the sun? It wouldn't be my first choice, but it certainly wouldn't disappoint.
Tocantins is the only location post HD switch on this list. I really, really liked Tocantins as a season and a location, and I wouldn't mind seeing it again. Similar to Australia, there's gorgeous shots of waterfalls and powering rivers cutting through the country. The sand dunes were great for Exile Island and the large open fields provided for great challenge locations. I wasn't super fond of the indigenous styled tribal-council, but I do think that this location could be revamped and redone the right way.
While I am in no hurry to hit the final season of Survivor, I have big dreams that not only will it be a battle of champions but that they will return to where it all started- Borneo. We haven't been to Borneo in 16 years, and it's home base for all true Survivor superfans. And as a contestant, I would feel alive knowing I'm walking the same beaches as the original sixteen. There's something poetic about ending where you started, and I would not complain to put Survivor to rest in Borneo.
My final and top choice to revamp would be Thailand. Rated as one of the bottom three seasons of all time, the location Thailand received no justice. The gold tribal council over the ocean was fantastic, the cliffs and caves were rugged and gorgeous, the exotic wildlife and pristine water made for great views of challenges and the locale. Thailand just as a country is stunning and the culture would provide for an easily stylized Survivor season.
And let's get real, unless you're a crazy superfan, does anyone really remember anything about Survivor: Thailand? I didn't think so. Take me back, Probst, and let the hidden immunity idol revolve around something elephant themed. And gold buffs, all the gold buffs. Have I mentioned I really like Thailand?
That's all, folks. Those are my eight locations I wouldn't mind seeing again. But for now, I look to Fiji and get ready for another great year of tiki heads, bright colored buffs, and huts for tribal council. Until next time, Cam.
Cam Kuhn is a native of Little Rock, Arkansas and proud super fan of Survivor. He works as an education consultant for a technology firm and blogs in his spare time. Cam has applied for Survivor 4 times since turning 18, written his college thesis on the communication styles of Survivor, and won Corinne Kaplan's season 32 cast assessment via auction.

Udi's Gluten Free Bagels: Review
Yesterday, I ventured to 'the big Tesco' not too far from where I live, but beyond the normal Tesco Express I usually stop at. Whilst browsing, I found these beauties…. Now I'm quite a poor student, so I wasn't going to buy them, until I noticed that they were on special offer for £1! That was like the same price as the New York Bagels (they have 5 in though). But still…a pretty good deal!
Now Udi's have been around for a while in the UK, since December I think, and I've never had chance to try anything from them. Due to being a poor student and a very busy lady! I haven't seen them in any of my regular stores, so it was nice to be able to jump on this bagel opportunity!
Now they looked good, I love the packaging, it's fun and simple, but what about the taste?
Well I sliced it in half and popped them under the grill to toast, and I served it with asparagus, eggs and chili jam!
It was phenomenal! The whole thing worked beautifully.
As for the actual bagels, they were really yummy, soft and chewy like the bagels I remember from a bygone era! They looked like golden halos on my plate, I'm so glad I ruined my fast diet day for them…it was so worth it!
I've popped the rest in the freezer to reduce the temptation to eat them all!
Now, all of you….run to Tesco and buy them up before they go back up!
Beautiful. I'm going to rate these 10 out of 10! And guess what…they also come in cinnamon and raisin flavour too (but don't put eggs on them I can't imagine that's nice). And Udi's, if you're reading, I'd really like you to make some cheese and onion flavoured bagels please. Thank you 🙂

The Boot Room, Leicester: Gluten Free Restaurant Review
My lovely housemate Priya, had her parents come visit from London and very kindly took us both out for dinner. I had heard how good The Boot Room was, so after wandering around the city, we decided to go there. I had seen on their website that they had Gluten Free options available but they didn't specify what they were. Their menu changes regularly and seasonally so the exact options are not listed but I can guarantee that there will be something for you. They reassured me everything was made fresh, so they knew exactly what was in everything.
They treated us to a three course meal, which was so delcious…I ordered the pan fried pigeon with carrot puree and caramelised shallots (sounds fancy…I know! it was!), since only recently migrating from veggie to meaty I haven't had the opportunity to try lots of different meats but pigeon is delcious! The main course was, beef with dauphinoise potatoes and green beans, which I ordered rare, it was really good, full of flavour and really tasty. Then finally for desert..not that I had much room left but I managed to squeeze in a gorgeous creme brûlée, without the shortbread biscuit (someone needs to look into the science of why there is always room for desert).
The waiter who served us, was very knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating. They even gave me some Gluten Free bread while we waited for our starters (granted it was a bit chewy as I believe it had been deforested in the microwave, but I'm not complaining…I was happy to be thought of).
I'd highly recommend you eat here, whether you are gluten free or not…its lovely. You can book online through their website and make sure you follow them on twitter. I can't wait to go again…might have to get someone to take me out…its a bit on the pricey side for a poor student like me!

Terrorist front group banned from skin tradeApril 5, 2013
Pakistani officials rule that Lashkar-e-Taiba's front charity cannot profit from animal hides
Pakistan's Interior Ministry has banned Jamaat-ud-Dawa, the charitable front group for the terrorist organization Lashkar-e-Taiba, from buying and selling animal hides. The leather trade has been an extremely lucrative business for jihadist entities, particularly in Punjab.
Authorities cited UN sanctions against JuD in 2008 as the basis for the ban. From the Indian Express last month:
JuD cannot collect Eid-ul-Azha hides: Pakistan authorities to court
Pakistani authorities have informed a court that the Jamaat-ud-Dawah it is not allowed to collect the hides of sacrificial animals as the group was listed as a terrorist organisation under a United Nations Security Council resolution in 2008.
The Punjab Home Department informed the Lahore High Court yesterday that the JuD was barred from collecting hides on the instructions of the federal Interior Ministry.
The instructions were part of security arrangements for the Eid-ul-Azha, when a large number of animals are sacrificed. Every year, the JuD collects thousands of hides and sells them to tanneries to raise funds for its activities.
The JuD was named a front for the banned Lashkar-e-Taiba on December 10, 2008 in the aftermath of the Mumbai attacks.
In a written reply submitted to Chief Justice Umar Atta Bandial, the Home Department said the Interior Ministry had issued a code of conduct for collecting the hides of sacrificial animals.
Under this code, all organisations are required to obtain a certificate from the district administration chief and the district police chief for collecting hides. It said the Interior Ministry had issued a list of proscribed organisations and said that they should not be allowed to collect hides.
Prior Money Jihad coverage of Hizbul Mujahideen, Jamaat-ud-Dawa, and Jaish Muhammad using the leather trade to fund militant operations against India is available here.

London Town Halls
Are a very cool way to get married...
The famous Old Marylebone Town Hall (weddings here include Liam Gallagher - twice!) is currently closed for refurbishment, for the next two years. They normally carry out at least 2000 weddings every year - wow! But if you were thinking of a town hall wedding there are quite a few other fantastic town hall options. Three of our favourites include Ealing Town Hall, Hackney Town Hall and Stoke Newington Town Hall. all listed here on the site. Built in 1887, Ealing Town Hall (amazing staircase pictured here) is a spectacular Grade II* listed Victorian building. It has really stunning architecture and offers loads of different chambers and rooms in which to get married.
If you'd rather head east then you should definiitely check out either Hackney Town Hall (green and white building) or Stoke Newington Town Hall (with the purple curtain). Both have a multitude of original art deco features including 1930s chandeliers, curved staircases and, in Hackney's case, an original sprung dancefloor.
Town Halls have never looked so hot and are the ultimate urban wedding venue!

text: This manual is catered to journalists, writers, and audio-visual media professionals who tackle issues of gender and sexuality in their material. Therefore, it will be limited to terms and concepts within sexuality commonly addressed in the media. When it comes to gender, the term refers to social roles produced and imposed on men and women. Thus, it is a broad concept which refers to a plethora of terms, meanings, and schools of thought. The scope of this manual does not allow us to go into all of them in details, so we will limit ourselves, when talking about gender, to the themes of women and sexual violence they are subjected to. Similarly, when we speak of sexuality, we can speak of sexual pleasure, practices, expression, and so many more intricate and complex concepts. In this manual, however, we will limit ourselves to media coverage of homosexuality and transgender issues only.

A business plan is vital to the success of your business. However, this alone is no guarantee of your success. The process of preparing a plan will provoke you to consider many aspects essential to your success that you may otherwise not have given proper consideration.
A business plan goes a long way to ensuring you are much better informed than would otherwise be the case. Failing to plan will ensure your business will ultimately fail.
Business Plan Templates
There are many templates readily available from the internet. Make your choice carefully. Many templates are free which is close to what they are worth!
Many are provided by banks and other organisations as purely as marketing tools. They are not what they use to write a business plan for their own business.
The best financial plan templates are dynamic. That is each of the tables of financial information link to the other tables. Change any number and it follows it will change other numbers in the modelling tool, which is as it should be.
We use premium business planning tools to produce a substantially better outcome and present your business in a more professional manner. These tools have the ability to model business performance on multiple levels and variables that ensure the plan is a far greater value to you.
Much of what we see presented as a business plan using free resources is not adequate and far removed from what a professional accountant or business advisor would prepare.
This then raises an important question "who is best placed to prepare a proper business plan'?
Who is best placed to write a business plan?
There are two clear options:
You, the business owner or intending owner; low-cost with low or no professional expertise but often hands-on and industry experience. And the learning experience will be invaluable for you.
Business Advisor and Accountant; more expensive with a high level of expertise and held in high regard by banks and lenders.
Our preferred options are to use a joint effort of professional advisor and the owner. The input of both is invaluable. One without the other is a compromise
The best person to write your plan is you, with expert advice from one of our Business Advisors. The process should challenge your thinking and your strategy to ensure that your business is robust enough to stand up to the rough and tumble of doing business in the real world.
A business plan can be written to serve a number of purposes. These may include applying for finance or seeking investors, seeking appointment as an agent or alliance partner or joint venturing or most importantly as a business management tool guide your business to a successful outcome.
Your plan should be written specifically to suit the target audience.
In the first instance, the business plan should be written to demonstrate to the reader that you have a genuine business opportunity. Next, the strategy, the expertise, experience and financial resources to produce a profitable financial outcome within a defined timeline. The plan will clearly demonstrate the financial performance and financial position of the business as it progresses and develops as you plan it might. And the reality is that the results achieved will be somewhat different, for better or worse. The plan will show if there are sufficient capacity and reserves to be able to ride out most eventualities.
A recommended course of action
We see many plans written with no regard to the result required; that is the target outcome. To blindly follow a template without proper thought and consideration will always be reflected in the outcome.
Often there is a complete disconnection between the business plan and the financial plan. The financial plan is an afterthought to the business plan that should never be the case. Create the financial plan first and then write the business plan to demonstrate how you will produce the result – this approach will save a great deal of time and angst.
If you follow this advice, the process of preparing your business plan will be a great deal more enjoyable and rewarding.

We created our 2016 campaign ads on a shoestring budget, with award-winning documentary filmmakers donating their time because they believed in our project. But even on that modest budget, we began the conversation that Washington needs to continue if we are going to move forward as a country. We can no longer afford to ignore the populism of "Middle America." Nor can we ignore mobilization of divisive and often hate-filled messages. We must unite.
Our work has just begun.

Clarie Coast(redirected from Clarie Land)
Clarie Coast
the coast of eastern Antarctica between 130° and 136° E long., a distance of approximately 350 km. The edge of the mainland glacial shield, the Clarie Coast falls steeply to the sea; in this region it is interrupted only by discharge glaciers. Inland, the surface of the glacial shield rises sharply, more than 1,000 m in 60 km. Clarie Coast was discovered and named by Dumont d'Urville's French antarctic expedition in 1840. Today research in the area is conducted primarily by Australians. In 1956 it was investigated by a Soviet antarctic expedition.
