sit'-iz, plan, (kikkar ha-yarden): Included Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, Zeboiim and Zoar. The locality is first referred to in Ge 13:10, where it is said that Lot "lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the Plain of the Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before Yahweh destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, like the garden of Yahweh, like the land of Egypt, as thou goest unto Zoar." The word translated plain is kikkar, "circle." In this ver, and in the 11th, as well as in 1Ki 7:46 and Mt 3:5, we have the full phrase "circle of the Jordan." Elsewhere (Ge 13:12; 19:17,29; De 34:3; 2Sa 18:23) the word for "circle" is used alone with the article. Until recently the traditional view that this circle of the Jordan was at the south end of the Dead Sea was universally maintained. The arguments in favor of this view are: (1) The name of Sodom is preserved in Jebel Usdum--Usdum having the same consonants with Sodom; moreover, the name is known to have referred to a place in that region as early as the days of Galen (De Simpl. medic. Facult., 4,19) who describes certain "salts of Sodom" from the mountains surrounding the lake which are called Sodom. (2) Zoar seems to have been represented in the Middle Ages by a place which the Crusaders called Segore, and Arabic writers Zoghar. Under the name Zughar or Sughar the place is often referred to by medieval Arabian geographers as situated 1ø South of Jericho "at the end of the Dead Sea" and as a station on the route between the Gulf of Akabah and Jericho, two days' journey from Jericho. Ptolemy (v.17,5) reckons Zoar as belonging to Arabia Petrea. Eusebius (Onom., 261) describes the Dead Sea as lying between Jericho and Zoar. Josephus (Ant., I, xi, 4) makes the Dead Sea extend 580 stadia "as far as Zoar of Arabia" (Wars, IV, viii, 4). These references would locate Zoar at the base of the mountains just Southeast of the Dead Sea, and, as it was within easy reach of Sodom, from which Lot fled, would fix the Cities of the Plain in that locality. Jerome (Comm. on Isa 15:5) says that Zoar was in the borders of Moab.
On the other hand, it is maintained that the "kikkar of the Jordan" lay North of the Dead Sea for the following reasons: (1) That is the region which is visible from the heights of Bethel whence Abraham and Lot looked down upon it (Ge 13:10), while the south end of the lake is not visible. But it may be answered that the phrase need not be limited to the actual region in sight, but may have included the whole known extension of the valley. (2) Zoar was said to be in range of Moses' vision from the top of Pisgah (De 34:1-3) whereas the south end of the Dead Sea is invisible from that point, on account of intervening mountains. But this description in Dt evidently is not intended to be limited to the points which are actually visible, but should be understood as describing the extreme limits of the land some points of which are visible in their near vicinity. Certainly the vision did not comprehend all portions of Dan or Judah "unto the hinder sea." The phrase from Jericho to. Zoar is like "from Dan to Beersheba." The mountain heights overlooking Zoar were certainly visible. (3) In Ge 14:1-24 the four kings coming up from Kadesh attacked the Amorites "that dwelt in Hazezon-tamar" before reaching Sodom, and Hazezon-tamar is to be identified with Engedi. On the other hand, it is possible that it is to be identified with the Tamar of Eze 47:19; 48:28, and that this place lay Southwest of the Dead Sea. Or, if that explanation is not accepted, it is proper to note that the course of this expedition led at first a considerable distance South of the Dead Sea through Mt. Seir to El-paran, when "they smote all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites." In accomplishing this they would naturally be led along the highland to Hebron from which they could easily descend to Engedi, whence they could proceed without difficulty to the south end of the end Sea. Besides, it is by no means certain that there was not an easy passage along the whole western shore of the Dead Sea at that time. See DEAD SEA. (4) It is argued that the region at the south end of the Dead Sea could not be described "as the garden of the Lord," etc. Neither, for that matter, could the region around the north end be so described in its present condition. But, on the other hand, the region South of the sea is by no means as devoid of vegetation as is sometimes represented, while there are convincing arguments to prove that formerly it was much more extensive and fertile than now. To the fertility of this area there is no more capable witness than Professor Hull, though he is an ardent advocate of the location of these cities at the north end of the lake. This appears both in his original diary, and in his more mature and condensed account contained in his article on the Dead Sea in Hastings, Dictionary of the Bible (five volumes), where he writes, "When, in December, 1883. the writer found himself standing on the edge of the terrace overlooking the Ghor, he beheld at his feet a wide plain stretching away northward toward the margin of the Dead Sea, and to a large extent green with vegetation and thickets of small trees. To the right in an open space were seen several large Bedouin camps, from which the shouts of wild men, the barking of dogs, and the bellowing of camels ascended. Numerous flocks of black goats and white sheep were being tended by women in long blue cloaks; and on the party of travelers being observed, groups of merry children came tripping up toward the path accompanied by a few of the elders, and, ranging themselves in a line, courteously returned salutations. Here the Arabs remain enjoying the warmth, of the plain till the increasing heat of the summer's sun calls them away to their high pasture grounds on the table-land of Edom and Moab. At a short distance farther toward the shore of the lake is the village of Es-Safieh, inhabited by a tribe of fellahin called the Ghawarneh, who by means of irrigation from the Wady el-Hessi cultivate with success fields of wheat, maize, dhurah, indigo and cotton, while they rear herds of camels and flocks of sheep and goats. On the produce of these fields the Arabs largely depend for their supplies of food and raiment, which they obtain by a kind of rude, often compulsory, barter."
Authorities favoring the south end of the Dead Sea: Dillmann, Genesis, 111 f; Robinson, BRP2, II, 187:ff; G. A. Smith, Smith, Historical Geography of the Holy Land, 505 ff; Baedeker-Socin, Palestine,III, 146; Buhl, Buhl, Geographic des alten Palastina, 117, 271, 274; see also especially Samuel Wolcott, "Site of Sodom," Bibliotheca Sacra,XXV , 112-51. Favoring the north end: Sir George Grove in various articles in Smith, Dictionary of the Bible; Canon Tristram, Land of Moab, 330 ff; Selah Merrill, East of the Jordan, 232-39; W. M. Thomson, The Land and the Book.

Juul, a discreet, streamlined e-cigarette that resembles a USB drive, is pretty cool. That's an advantage for Juul Labs, helping it attract more than 70% of the U.S. market, but also a problem, because teenagers like cool things.
This week, the Food and Drug Administration sent letters to Juul and four other leading manufacturers of "electronic nicotine delivery systems," threatening to remove their products from the market unless they come up with plans to "immediately and substantially reverse" the "epidemic of youth e-cigarette use."
These threats are based on the morally dubious premise that the interests of adults who might want to switch from smoking to a far less hazardous form of nicotine consumption should be sacrificed in the name of curtailing e-cigarette use by minors, which is already illegal.
FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb acknowledged that "unfortunate tradeoff," telling reporters his agency is considering "actions that may narrow the off-ramp for adults who see e-cigarettes as a viable alternative to combustible tobacco in order to close the on-ramp for kids."
Gottlieb is talking about reneging on the FDA's four-year extension of the deadline for seeking regulatory approval to continue selling e-cigarettes, which would wreak havoc with a market that he concedes has great potential for reducing smoking-related disease and death. Short of that, he suggests the FDA might force companies to stop offering e-liquid flavors that appeal to minors, even though many smokers who use e-cigarettes to quit say flavor variety is an important part of that process.
The FDA suggested that Juul consider "revising your current marketing practices to help prevent use by minors" and "removing flavored products from the market until those products can be reviewed by FDA." More generally, the FDA wants Juul and the other companies to contemplate "the particular youth appeal of their products," which involves features, such as style and convenience, that adults also happen to like.
Those steps would constrain the ability of e-cigarette companies to reach adult smokers and make vaping less appealing to them. The upshot could be less switching and therefore more smoking-related deaths.
On the other side of the public health ledger, there is little reason to think restricting information about electronic nicotine delivery systems, making them less cool or banning flavors would reduce morbidity and mortality.
The FDA is alarmed that, according to the National Youth Tobacco Survey, "more than 2 million middle and high school students were current users of e-cigarettes in 2017." But that number includes students who reported vaping even once during the previous month. The number of regular users is much smaller, and almost all of them are current or former smokers.
To the extent that teenagers who otherwise would be smoking are vaping instead, that is a clear public health gain, since the latter habit is much less dangerous. Despite constant warnings that increased experimentation with e-cigarettes would lead to more smoking, consumption of conventional cigarettes by teenagers continues to decline, reaching a record low last year in the Monitoring the Future Study, which began in 1975.
If the FDA sees continued underage vaping as an argument for banning e-cigarettes, the industry is doomed, even though it offers what the agency recognizes as "an alternative for adult smokers" who "seek access to satisfying levels of nicotine, but without all of the harmful effects that come from combustion."
If underage consumption does not justify a ban on tobacco cigarettes, it cannot possibly justify a ban on competing products that are much safer.

Im sorry but I am actually drinking the red arrow root been as i write this and Iabsolutely love it. I thinkit has the perfect amout of licorice and carbonation. Other brands have itmore bubbly. But if you want something smoother, go to Bisbee, Arizona and their local brewery makes the best root beer i have ever had.
It does seem to be popular with the licorice loving crowd, as I stated it would be. I really didn’t like it that much though.
It tastes better than the current flock to me, even A & W,, to me. As the big Mafias have all watered down their products.
I’m in the “I disagree” crowd. We tried this last night and absolutely loved it. I like the stonger tastes – have had a few that are too mild lately. I’m looking to trying the Hires I found recently and comparing to that to my memory banks.
I can’t be as specific on the wintergreen & licorice flavors, but I suspect that’s why i like it. And unlike some of the other stronger-flavored, this has a nicer finish with no unusual after taste. I recommend giving it a try and deciding for yourself! I’m glad I discoverd it.
It does seem to be the most popular root beer that I don’t like.
I’ve seen this site before while on my quest for the best root beer, and so when I found red arrow this weekend, I had to come back. As a die hard “licorice lover,” this is my new favorite root beer. It used to be a toss up between Hank’s and Henry Weinhardt’s, but Red Arrow has thrown them aside. I am drinking a Hank’s as I write this, longing for another Arrow.
Just tried Red Arrow. I like it, but its almost not a root beer. Maybe something in the category of the Virgil’s Bavarian Nutmeg brew. Very good, but not a root beer.
Brigham’s Brew is my all time favorite, but I have yet to try Hank’s as I’ve not found it anywhere in Utah. Henry’s were good before they dropped the honey and went HFCS instead.

According to this report, in moves not seen since early last century when Russia and the United States sought to avert, then end, the global catastrophe now known as World War I, this past week has seen feverish actions being taken by all of the world’s major powers in a bid to keep our world from, once again, plunging itself into needless war—and that began with the 16-18 February Munich Security Conference, and has now moved to its final 19-20 February Valdai Club Middle East Conference being overseen by the Valdai Club.
The critical unseen global communication structure between the world’s powers underlying both the Munich Security Conference and Valdai Club Middle East Conference, this report explains, was noted this past week by Perm Krai Senator Aleksey Pushkov who detailed its value by stating “this is a diplomatic network that works, and it’s something that, if used efficiently, can prevent bigger confrontations”.
The conflict in Syria has been the most vicious in contemporary history, creating a geo-political hall of mirrors pitting Syrian against Syrian, Saudi Arabia against Iran and Russia against the United States.
To say that it is the most complicated proxy war of our times is an understatement. The war has had international and regional dimensions which have served to prolong fuel and perpetuate the crisis.
With the United States and Israel reported to be “still reeling in humiliation and impotent rage over their defeat in Syria”, this report continues, the growing animosity against the Americans has united Russia, Iran and Turkey—but with Russia condemning the Iranian desire “to wipe Israel off the map”—while at the same time telling the Israelis that “Iranian meddling isn’t the only way to understand Middle East”.
So in order to achieve a lasting peace in Syria and detangle it from being the flash point that could ignite World War III, this report says, Russia has today presented to the Valdai Club Middle East Conference its “white paper document” providing the means to achieve this goal—whose first statements warns against any permanent American presence in this war-torn country and against the formation of a Kurdish state—and bluntly states that “experience has proven that one state alone cannot reach permanent solutions in the Middle East”.
With the United States having proved beyond all doubt by its nearly 20 years of continuous wars in the Middle East that it’s only able to destroy nations and kill innocent people by the millions without achieving a single victory leading to peace, this report notes, instead of recognizing its failure that one state alone cannot achieve anything, and that has cost the American people a staggering $5.6 trillion of national wealth, it is even now, today, in Syria attempting to continue down this bloody path for reasons no one in the US is able to explain—and has some speculating that President Trump isn’t even be told what’s going on.
And with Syrian forces preparing for the largest offensive against US-backed terrorists in 2018, and Syrian forces now expected to arrive within hours to aid their Kurdish citizens being attacked by Turkey, this report gravely notes, Turkey has vowed to stop these Syrian forces from protecting their own peoples—and who have just begun a massive bombardment in order to prevent these Syrian forces from reaching their beleaguered Kurdish citizens.
Not being explained to the American people, though, this report concludes, is that all of this blood being spilled in Syria—and whose repercussions will, most certainly, ignite a global war—is entirely due to the United States—and is why Russia has now ordered the US to leave Syria immediately and state that the Kurds are “being used in a game” by the US who is “playing with fire”—and that should the US not heed these warnings—they’ll be met by a Russia whose knowledge of the “Great Game” shows it cannot lose.

text: Land plants are constantly exposed to varying light conditions. In plants acclimated to high light intensity, the amount of light harvesting proteins (Lhcb) of phosystem II (PSII) is reduced due to down-regulation of Lhcb3 and Lhcb6 proteins. Recently we have revealed an unexpected absence of these proteins in Pinaceae and Gnetales (Kouřil et al. 2016, New Phytologist). Surprisingly, we have also found indications that Lhcsr protein could be present in these species. This protein is crucial for the non-photochemical quenching of absorbed light (NPQ) in PSII in evolutionarily older organisms. In more recent ones the role of Lhcsr in NPQ has been fully taken over by PsbS protein. In the proposed project we want to study the acclimation of Norway spruce (Pinaceae) to different light intensities. It can be assumed that the mechanism of acclimation will be unique due to the absence of Lhbc3 and Lhcb6, and that also the role of PsbS and Lhcsr in NPQ will be unusual. We hope that our findings will contribute to the understanding of the evolution of photoprotective mechanisms in land plants.

On October 17th 2015 I complained on my blog site that Woolworths is second to Coles in service, especially in the Deli section.
Now I’m happy to write that Woolworths has made a concerted effort to increase its sales by improving service and lowering its prices.
Some of its supermarkets have been renovated and I have to say it’s a pleasure to shop in our local store now. In spite of this supermarket not being larger the aisles are wider, the products are extremely well displayed and the choice of products is extensive. I enjoy the selection of imports from Europe which give the supermarket a cosmopolitan feel.
Frankly, the store has become more classy and compares well with those specialist food stores where one can buy something a bit more interesting.
Surprisingly for such an upmarket store the prices are often cheaper than those in Coles, so good on Woolies for being more competitive and often on a par with Aldi’s prices.
Woolworths is now my favourite supermarket.

If a song idea is good enough, Jerrod Niemann won't even need to write it down. It's rare, but some songs just stick in his head like your childhood phone number.
"(Legendary songwriter) Kim Williams used to say, 'If you gotta write it down it's not good enough,'" he tells Taste of Country with a smile. "But Garth (Brooks) told me that was bulls--t, because he said Kim wrote down everything."
The "I Got This" singer isn't far removed from his most recent studio album This Ride, but he's far from on a break. During a recent visit to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital he said he had just written a song called "Old Glory" that was one of his favorites of all time. Two days after meeting with ToC at Country Radio Seminar he a writing appointment with Keifer Thompson of Thompson Square. Lance Miller lives nearby, too, so they're always collaborating.
It ebbs and flows, Niemann says. He'll write for three days straight but then tinker around in his home studio so he doesn't forget what he just wrote, and to see if the new ideas are good ideas. Since he emerged in the mid-'00s, songs he's written have been cut by Brooks, Blake Shelton, Jamey Johnson, Lee Brice and many more.
Which brings us to Niemann's 2018 touring plans. While so far only standard shows and festival appearance are on his schedule, the 38-year-old says he's hoping to bring the singer-songwriter, guitar round experience on the road with friends like Brice, Tyler Farr and more. Anyone who's ever seen a guitar pull knows the stories told often match the hit songs played, and with so many hits between Niemann and his friends, he figures it'd make a great new way to bring music to the fans.

If you are noticing mineral scaling on your plumbing fixtures, it may be time to consider a water softener. Did you know that hard water that leaves deposits in your piping can increase your energy costs? It can also shorten the life of your appliances. This mineral scaling deteriorates the plumbing, which can lead to costly repairs down the road.
Soft water will help prevent build-up of mineral scaling. Have you ever noticed orange or brown stains on your fixtures, water heater, clothes washers, dishwashers, or other appliances? This is due to hard water, and can be prevented with a properly installed water softener. According to Masters Water Conditioning Corp., “As little as 1/8” of hardness scale on a water heater element will reduce heating efficiency by 20%”.
Not only is soft water better for your home’s plumbing systems, but you’ll also feel and see the benefits. When showering with softer water, you will notice it feels slightly different when you wash your hair. Soft water is known for leaving hair more silky and shiny. Also, hot and soft water will leave your dishes more sparkling clean. You will have a reduction in spotting, filming and residue on your dishes. Additionally, you’ll notice your clothes will feel cleaner and look brighter! Since fabric fading is greatly reduced, you may notice your clothes lasting longer.
If you notice any symptoms of hard water, contact us and learn about our free water testing. We’d be happy to test the hardness of your water, and find the perfect water softener for your home. Please call us at 717-938-2521 for a free estimate.

We are pleased to announce the launch of our official ambassador programme, with former Scotland captain, Mike Blair and current Scotland internationalist, Dave Denton as inaugural members.
RPF's ambassadors will work with the Foundation to promote our charitable objectives and support the capital fundraising programme for the redevelopment of the historic Raeburn Place.
"We are delighted to launch our official ambassador programme with two such important stars of Scottish rugby. Mike has been associated with Raeburn Place since childhood and Dave, aged 18, played his first rugby for BATs at Raeburn Place after arriving in Scotland from Zimbabwe, so both have long term ties with the ground and understand what the Foundation's ambitions are for this historic venue.
"We look forward to working with them and are hugely grateful for their support. They share our vision for the creation of a facility that will give people, irrespective of background or ability, the everyday opportunity to come together, play, watch, appreciate and celebrate sport, with a redeveloped Raeburn Place at the heart of that vision."
"I am delighted to be an Ambassador for RPF and the redevelopment of Raeburn Place. The ground holds a special place in my heart as it is the cornerstone of so many of my memories. The redevelopment will ensure the ground is sustainable for the long-term, providing many more youngsters with great memories."

WOPR20 was held in New York City on May 14-16, 2013, and was hosted by Liquidnet. Ross Collard was the Content Owner.
A key responsibility for every professional is keeping his or her skills current. Easier said than done! For starters, what is current? What about preparing for the future?
How have your engineering, deployment and testing methods changed recently? How is that going?
What kinds of tools are you using in automating testing now?
What are you using them for now that you didn’t before?
What kinds of quality, reliability, and performance objectives do your organization and your customers look for?
How do you engineer and test for these objectives? How do you report against these objectives?
How is your organization thinking about quality from a strategy perspective? Have you tried to create “centers of excellence” to drive quality in your organization? How did they turn out?
What sorts of problems are you solving today that you didn’t have before? How are you solving them? What new ideas do you have that you haven’t tried yet?
Ten years ago, the first WOPR conference brought together practitioners in performance and reliability. Since then, platforms have evolved almost beyond imagination. For web apps, virtualization, cloud infrastructure, and the explosion of mobile and tablet devices change everything. Today, you can buy computing power and network bandwidth that cost millions 10 years ago, if you could buy it at all, and put it in your pocket.
The counterbalance to Moore’s Law is Wirth’s Law: “Software is getting slower more rapidly than hardware becomes faster.” Software architects assemble stacks on top of platforms to build complex applications. Software re-use is the norm and mash-ups are increasingly widespread: software stacks built on increasing layers of abstraction are easier and “faster” to develop, but less efficient, and usually harder to debug. More ambitious solutions connect more and more disparate technologies with ever-larger datasets.
Software methods and tools have evolved significantly; some say radically. Agile processes are now widely used. Traditional separations of roles between development and operations are being smudged and erased. Testing automation by developers has become an integral part of many development processes: there is more automation, and it is easier to develop.
After years of stagnation in testing tools, innovation has picked back up recently. Older tools like LoadRunner have been adapted to new uses like predictive modeling; newer automation libraries and frameworks like Selenium and Cucumber help extend automation wider in our projects. New load tools with different architectures and licensing models like NeoLoad, SOASTA and BlazeMeter have changed what kinds of tests can be run.
Practices are still evolving to keep up.
These contexts are likely to yield interesting experiences. There are surely more we have not considered. In your proposal, you could identify which category (or “Other”) you think your experience best fits in.

OTTAWA – Ottawa’s first ever “Depave Paradise” project will be completed this Saturday September 13th when volunteers from local environmental organization Ecology Ottawa plant two large garden beds in Kitichissippi United Church’s parking lot.
“This has been a great start of a fantastic initiative to green our city and help mitigate the environmental problems caused by too much asphalt and concrete creating havoc for our storm-water management systems on rainy days,” Velta Tomsons, Ecology Ottawa’s Depave Paradise event organizer.
Until recently the church’s parking lot was wall-to-wall asphalt, but last June forty five Ecology Ottawa and United Church volunteers removed more than one hundred square metres of asphalt from the area using primarily hand tools. Starting at 9 AM this Saturday volunteers will come together again and lay down soil, plant shrubs, greenery and even a tree at Kitchissippi United Church, 630 Island Park Drive.
Depave Paradise seeks to address the overwhelming amount of asphalt in the city which drastically reduces the permeable surfaces capable of absorbing water. During heavy rains or storms, the storm-water capacity becomes overwhelmed and wastewater from city sewers overflows into the Ottawa River. This harms water quality and results in multiple beach closures in the summer through out the city.
“Trees and plants naturally act as sponges and contribute to the natural hydrological cycle. They also increase the mental and physical health of residents as well as diminish the heat island effects by cooling down our neighbourhoods,” Tomsons says.
The City of Ottawa’s Environment Committee voted last March to develop a Water Environment Strategy to deal with the cocktail of contaminants washing into Ottawa’s waterways when it rains. It will be up Ottawa’s newly elected city council to ensure a rigorous and effective strategy is adopted.
The Depave Pardise project at Kitichissippi United Church is a partnership between Ecology Ottawa, Green Communities Canada and Kitichissippi United Church. The event will take place between 9 – 5 PM.

June 24 (UPI) -- Donald Hall, an author of more than 40 books who served as U.S. poet laureate in 2006, has died at his ancestral home in New Hampshire at the age of 89.
The Boston Globe said Hall's death was announced Saturday by Wendy Strothman, his literary executor.
The Connecticut native's final collection of verse The Selected Poems of Donald Hall was published in 2015. His book of essays A Carnival of Losses: Notes Nearing Ninety is due to go on sale this summer.
U.S. President Barack Obama presented Hall with the National Medal of Arts in 2011, The New York Times noted.
Hall is survived by Philippa Smith and Andrew Hall, his children from his first marriage to Kirby Thompson. They divorced in 1969 and Hall married poet Jane Kenyon, with that union lasting 23 years until Kenyon's death in 1995.
Additional survivors include five grandchildren and one great-grandchild.

(Newser) – Who doesn't like a farmers market? Organic food, weird jams, and a sense of community have drawn shoppers nationwide for years. But a new study says the markets don't really fulfill their reputation of promoting a healthy diet—and definitely don't save people money, Pacific Standard reports. "There seems to be much enthusiasm for using farmers markets" to improve food quality in areas where healthy food is lacking, a team of researchers writes in the journal Appetite. "It is hard for us to share this enthusiasm." Their study of 26 farmers markets and 44 stores in Bronx County, NY, found that the markets offered 26.4 fewer items of fresh produce on average, fewer commonly-purchased foods, and more expensive items overall, even among regular produce.
Pretty much a crappy article... and here's why... 1) Nowhere does it mention that one of the main differences between organic and conventional food is pesticides, gmo's, antibiotics, growth hormones and dyes. 2) Yes... the food may cost more...You are supporting your local economy and local farmer. You know who is growing your food and can talk to your farmer about their cultivation practices. 3) There's crap where ever you go. Some farmer's Markets are better than others. You can always find "organic" junk/processed food anywhere. 3) By supporting your local farmer you are a FOOD ACTIVIST. You are directly taking yourself out of the gmo/big agra loop if you choose. 4) You have reduced your carbon foot print. Most farmers markets don't allow resellers and generally the produce/meat/dairy/baked goods/body goods has to be produced within a 100 miles. 5) Tennessee has the largest proliferation of farmers markets in the country. 6) Freshness and quality. We have several markets where the artisans are stellar. No comarision to conventional crap in the store. Where's the study? Let's see where the info is coming from.
I would say that it really depends on where you live. In the greater Seattle area, there are MANY Farmer's Markets...usually each neighborhood has one...and the produce you get from them is FAR superior to the imported junk the supermarkets carry! I don't shop at them nearly enough...but when I do, I am always rewarded by FRESH produce that tastes FAR better than the container ship delivered crud you find at Safeway!
Honestly, this is anecdotal at best. I do most of my shopping at our local Farmers market and the prices are lower. I pay 2.99 for a head of Romaine lettuce at Publix or get a bigger, fresher one at the Market for 1.49. There is a bigger variety of produce (especially fruits) than the big chain grocers. It really depends on where you live. To be more accurate the study should have a broader scope of areas.

Children are born curious. There is a whole new world to explore and most of their behaviour is adopted from adults, particularly their parents. Whatever be the age of your child, teaching them the benefits of discipline could be rewarding in the long run. Tangible rewards or social reinforcements are the most effective way to incentivise your child for their behaviour.
Rewarding good behaviour promotes learning and also helps parents to focus on their kids right doings. Tangible rewards can lead to a regular habit of greed–getting something in exchange for good behaviour; therefore, the motivation for good behaviour fades as the incentives stops. Instead, rewarding in the form of verbal encouragement and motivation can sustain internal motivation.
Model an ultimate rewarding strategy of self-satisfaction and discipline.
Identify the type of incentives that would keep your child motivated.
A deep sense of emotional attachment motivates children. Rewards such as hugs, a pat on the shoulder, smiles, and positive attention works best for kids in understanding that they have done something worthwhile. Tangible rewards such as toys, money, treats, etc. can be effective too, but should not be given very often.
Positive reinforcement can be effective when started early.
Shower your toddlers with effusive praise, preschoolers with daily rewards, elementary children with documenting rewards charts. This will instill a sense of self-esteem at a young age. The incentives can be a special outing or a small toy for a week-long good behaviour.
Make good behaviour a daily habit.
Teach your kid how to follow a set routine by completing the non-fun stuff first, and then enjoying the fun stuff. This will help them start taking responsibilities. This isn’t a reward, but as parents and teachers, (Pearson School) it’s your responsibility to make good behaviour a habit, a daily routine both at school and at home.
Use consistent rewards to promote good behaviour with gradual decrease of rewards later.
Regular rewards could be fun, but stopping them could be daunting for parents. Positive reinforcement or rewards should be temporary as it helps in teaching a disciplined life. When the desired behaviour is learnt, providing irregular incentives will make good behaviour likely to persist. Ultimately your child’s self-satisfaction and self-approval will be rewarding enough to maintain that expected behaviour.
What should be an appropriate reward to promote good behaviour, in your opinion? Write to us in the comments!
‘‘Indian education needs greater thrust on skill and personality development”- says Pearson Voice of Teacher Survey, 2014.
Released on the occasion of Teachers’ Day, Voice of Teacher Survey is an annual initiative of Pearson, the world’s leading learning company. The survey focuses on topical issues facing Indian education sector and shares teachers’ perspective on the changing dynamics of the ecosystem. The 2014 edition of the survey focuses on the education system’s ability to drive learner outcomes and the challenges faced in achieving the same.
Indian teachers have voiced their opinions on the current state of India’s learning environment through ‘Pearson Voice of Teacher Survey 2014’.
In India, 50% of the students entering any class lack the required skills. School teachers perceive a greater proportion of their students possess the skills (57%) vis-à-vis counterparts at higher education institutions (46%).
Teachers (94%) consider skill and personality development as the most critical benchmark for measuring learner success – much higher than exam results (57%).
parents (54%). Satisfaction is lower among higher education vis-à-vis school teachers.
79% of Teachers believe that the learning environment has improved over the past decade. The perception varies by segment/ level – school teachers view the changes more favorably (93%) vis-à-vis their counterparts in higher education (71%).
This year’s survey represents the views of 5145 teachers from schools and higher education institutes across 247 cities and towns in India.

Ibada is not an objective for itself. It is a means to the objective which is taqwa of Allah (generally translated as God consciousness). Many of the ibadat have patience as their objective. Reported in hadith Al Tarmidhi Ibn Majah with hasan isnad: Fast is half of patience. So in fact it’s a school who’s goal is to gain piety.
– Are you better than the previous Ramadan?
– Are you closer to Allah?
To abstain from food, drinks, intimate relations etc.
Making your limbs abstain from forbidden.
Avoiding dunyawi(worldly) thoughts and focusing on Allah only. Devote yourself.
There has to be Iqbal: rushing with your body, heart and soul to the observation of Allah.
If you abandon looking at something forbidden, Allah will cause you to taste a sweetness in your heart. Fasting of the eye also involves abstain from that which occupies the heart that isn’t beneficial, even if its halal.
-Many ulama of Seerah say that Hadrat Abu Bakr (radi Allahu a’anhu) used to put a pebble on his tongue to prevent himself from speaking.
We refuse to listen to lies or anything that is forbidden such as gossiping etc. Stay away from gatherings where there is gossip or evil discussions.
– We need to make peace with our stomach. Avoid overeating during suhoor and iftaar. Don’t overeat!
– Don’t break your fast using haram food. It’s like building a palace and destroying the whole village. It could also mean breaking your fast on gossiping or backbiting other people.
– Lighter in food means more powerful ruh. Eat little to feel the Sunnah. You feel your neediness also for Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala.
Your heart is hanging between khauf (‘fear’) and raja’ (hope). Fear of rejection of your good deeds and hope that they will be accepted.

Earlier today, we announced a bunch of cases against tech support scammers: the people who act like there’s a problem with your computer and then try to convince you to fork over money to fix – ahem – “fix” it. Except there never was a problem, and they weren’t really from tech support.
Many of us have gotten those calls. Some of us have seen what looks like a pop-up on our computer screen. People I know – and maybe some that you know – have been convinced enough to talk with the scammers. That’s why the FTC, our partners at the Florida Attorney General’s office, and other law enforcement are trying to stop these scammers in their tracks.
So, what can you do? Well, now that you know how to spot the scam, you can pass that knowledge on. Tell people about it. And, if you’re on social media, share this post – and this quick video. (It shares better from this link.) It shows what happens in a tech support scam – and what you can do about it. And thanks!
If a scammer has your check, with routing number and account number, you could ask your bank for a new account.
Got a pop up like this when I opened a new tab; turned off my computer; deleted browser and reloaded a new one; said my hard drive would be wiped if I didnt call this number asap. 24 hours later (to the minute) my computer froze; I turned it off; it never rebooted ; says "no boot device"; dell support couldn't get it booted; computer repair said hard drive wiped; ran avira, kapernisky and defender; none found a virus but hard drive empty... be careful. May not be as benign as many above have stated. Made my new computer unusable.
Just got s call today that went to voicemail because if I don’t know the number, I don’t answer the phone, They said I was going to be blocked off my computer and would not be able to use my computer.
recently the con artists sent warnings on my pc, and threatening calls, saying they will shut down my pc. they cancelled hotmail ,then put it back,but disabled it so can,t save delete ect.today june 18 2018, e-online is taken, and can only use chrome.this is in canada ,what do i do,who to call.
The Microsoft people called me, telling me that only Alpha Choice could fix my computer...for $300.00, or Windows Help Desk for $600.00 Wanted me to send in my computer, they would provide the box. They could not get past my firewall. I did not pay anything or send my computer. Why don't these scammers get a real job and leave the rest of us alone.

Sterling silver and wood pendant necklace, "Mother Goddess"
By Scott Rasmussen, this necklace depicts the goddess Dewi Sri. She is the consort of Wisnu, the god of sustenance. Because rice is so important to the Balinese, she is given the specific function of the rice goddess, and there is a shrine for offerings to her beside every rice field in Bali. The handcrafted pendant bears the kanji symbol for prosperity on the reverse side, and is worn on an adjustable leather cord.
"If you are one who believes you are what you feel, then you have a better understanding of who I am. I am one who feels deeply and believes feelings are the most important parts of life...."
"Who am I? Well, some people think you are what you do... so for them, I am an artisan. I design and create works of art, so therefore I am an artist. However, I am not one who believes that it is necessary to create works of art in order to be an artist. Art, like beauty, is 'in the art of the beholder.' It takes an artist's eye in order for a work of art to come into being, a collaboration between the 'seer' and the 'seen.' Therefore the art of observation is indeed a legitimate form of art, one that can be developed but it is generally a gift from birth, either you have it or you don't. But perhaps the 'artist' is in all of us to a greater or lesser degree.
"I was born and raised in Long Island and moved to California when I was 21, where I worked for 15 years on TV shows and movies as an electrician, special effects technician, carpenter, specialty prop and model maker. In 1989 I began a five year apprenticeship in the art of lapidary, and traveled around Asia looking for ethnographic art. It didn't take long to find out that the real antiquities of this part of the world had become quite scarce so I began making jewelry full time in India, Thailand, Nepal, Sri Lanka and in Java and Bali as well. I got tired of all the packing and unpacking so I decided to pick one place to work that had the most to offer and I picked Bali. I traveled back and forth from Bali to Los Angeles once or twice a year before settling here in the year 2000.
"I think the artist sees art everywhere, especially where it isn't labeled as such. I love technology and science, in the service of the arts or as they exist separate from those who don't see the artistry hidden within them. I love movies and music, photography, computers and sports. The arts are everywhere.
"Some say you are what you believe, or what you think. For them I am more elusive for I love to imagine and to go deeply into thought, but I have no constraints as to what to believe or entertain as possibility. To those who say we are what we think, I have to disagree and state emphatically that the opposite is true, that we are not what we think we are at all. So yes, I enjoy meditation, setting aside a quiet time to still my mind and for an uncounted period of time enter the stillness. And there is a passive form of meditation I practice throughout the day in which I remind myself that whatever I identify with is not who I am – that I am connected to everyone and everything.
"If you are one who believes you are what you feel, then you have a better understanding of who I am. I am one who feels deeply and believes feelings are the most important parts of life, connecting us to everyone and everything honestly and without the illusions the mind tends to create. If art is good, it communicates a feeling.
"Analyzing and talking about art is fine but pointless compared to the feeling it conveys. It's great to have a good mind to use for whatever purposes you see fit, but just as you need to breathe you need the ability to quiet it and just allow yourself to feel.
"So I guess that's who I am, just a combination of activities, thoughts and feelings like all of us. Here's a thought: Maybe Art is not superficial at all, or beauty skin deep. Maybe it is a direct experience of the Divine within us. That has to be true... until it isn't."
My Bamboo Muse Amethyst floral earrings arrived. They were purchased to match the Bamboo Muse necklace that I had previously ordered. They are a beautiful complement to the necklace. i really appreciate that you create jewelry sets! Thank you for your exquisite work.
Scott, your work is amazing. I received my necklace ""Bamboo Muse."" The encircled bamboo and leaf is so wonderfully detailed. The amethyst is beautifully placed above the circle. I hadn't noticed the details on the chain in the picture. I love the type of chain and the floral details part way up. The lovely clasp is also floral. I am looking forward to purchasing the earring. Thank you!

I have needed help in the studio since Jessica has gotten so busy at Shenanigan’s, and Remington’s mom was more than complimentary about Remy’s talents with clay. She studies international business and has experience in ceramics, specializing in organic garden sculptures. I believe her worldly approach to her art complements our work here at Lovelady Creations. I look forward to having her bright energy and persistent passion around!
