I am fond of Parashat Va’era—it was my Bar Mitzvah parashah forty-four years ago. That may be bashert (predetermined good fortune)—after all, it is one of the most important Torah portions for understanding the utility of source-criticism.
Its initial verses claim that the patriarchs in Genesis did not know God by the name YHWH, which is flatly contradicted by many verses in Genesis where the ancestors and others use this name. This has long been recognized as one key indicator of the multiplicity of sources in the Bible; the beginning of our parasha come from P, the Priestly source, which in Genesis knows God as Elohim (translated by convention “God”) or El-Shaddai, but never as YHWH. One of the ways that P marks the era beginning with Moses as special is by claiming that God’s true name was only revealed then.
To my mind, another equally compelling indication of the existence of sources is found in the following chapter, in the blood plague in Exodus 7:14-25, which is reproduced here in the translation of Everett Fox. His translation is very literal, and attempts to render each Hebrew word with a unique English word, and thus is especially useful for anyone attempting a source-critical analysis using an English Bible. As you read the text in Hebrew or English, please be open to seeing “bumps” or problems in the narrative.
Pharaoh’s heart is heavy-with-stubbornness—he refuses to send the people free.
Send free my people, that they may serve me in the wilderness! But here, you have not hearkened thus far.
and it will change into blood.
18 The fish that are in the Nile will die, and the Nile will reek, and the Egyptians will be unable to drink water from the Nile.
and let them become blood!
There will be blood throughout all the land of Egypt—in the wooden-containers, in the stoneware.
20 Moshe and Aharon did thus, as YHWH had commanded them.
and all the water that was in the Nile changed into blood.
the blood was throughout all the land of Egypt.
22 But the magicians of Egypt did thus with their occult-arts, and Pharaoh’s heart remained strong-willed, and he did not hearken to them, as YHWH had spoken.
23 So Pharaoh turned and came into his house, neither did he pay any mind to this.
24 But all Egypt had to dig around the Nile to drink water, for they could not drink from the waters of the Nile.
1. Did Only the Nile Turn to Blood or All the Water in Egypt?
Let me start at the end, with v. 24, which suggests that only the Nile water was affected by the plague. That flatly contradicts v. 19b, which claims that the blood plague affected all the water in Egypt: “There will be blood throughout all the land of Egypt—in the wooden-containers, in the stoneware,” where the last phrase suggests that even water stored in various containers turned into blood!
If the reader is not absolutely committed to the unity of the text, this contradiction suggests that multiple sources are present—in this case, one source that has a plague that affects the Nile only, while in the other, all Egyptian water is contaminated. This observation alone helps to determine that particular verses belong together, especially vv. 17-18, 20b, 21, and 24, where the plague affects the Nile only, while in v. 19 it affects all the Egyptian water-sources. However, the presence of sources should not be determined by one problem alone, and it is thus significant that a careful reading indicates other problems that intersect with this one.
The previous contradiction corresponds to the contrast between the word ye’or (יאור), the Egyptian word for the Nile, in the former verses, in contrast to its plural ye’orehem (יאוריהם), “Nile canals,” in v. 19—in the former the word is a proper noun, while in the latter the very same word is treated as a common noun, and is in the plural. This sort of distinction—where slightly different words or forms of words are used—also may mark separate sources.
Moses is told to initiate the plague twice—once in v. 14, and then again in v. 19. The directive is then followed twice in the same verse, once by Moses and Aaron (20a; the first half of v. 20), and again by “him” (=Moses) in 20b.
Some commentators, attempting to read the entire passage as a unit, suggest that vv. 14-18 is God commanding Moses to warn Pharaoh, whereas v. 19 is the command to perform the plague, but this is not compelling. The transition between verses 18 and 19 is choppy, and we would have expected verse 19 to be followed by a notice that Moses fulfilled God’s command, which is indeed present—but only several verses later, in v. 20b.
20 is especially helpful for distinguishing the two stories. It reads: “Moshe and Aharon did thus, as YHWH had commanded them. He raised the staff and struck the water in the Nile, before the eyes of Pharaoh and before the eyes of his servants, and all the water that was in the Nile changed into blood.” The singular “he,” following “Moshe and Aharon” is problematic, and hints that in one source, reflected in the beginning of the verse, Moses and Aaron are working in tandem, while another portrays a single actor: Moses (see vv. 14-18).
5. Is the Staff for Hitting or Stretching?
According to the first, Moses strikes the Nile with his staff (v. 17), while in the second account, in v. 19, the action is initiated when Aaron takes his staff, but does not use it to strike the water, but instead stretches out his hand.
7. What is the Plague?
We are used to thinking of this as the blood plague—and indeed that is how it is typified in v. 19. But in vv. 14-18, the blood is the cause of the real problem: the contamination of the Nile as a result of fish that die in the bloody Nile. Thus, these verses really describe two slightly different plagues: blood versus stinky fish.
If we put together the clues noted so far—doublets, namely episodes recited unnecessarily twice, and contradictions—we can see that the text as we have it is comprised of two complete, largely parallel documents. As you can see below, in one source, Moses alone is the protagonist, and in that source, which narrates a stinky fish plague, only the Nile is affected, while in the other Moses and Aaron work together, and all Egyptian water is affected by blood.
14 YHWH said to Moshe: Pharaoh’s heart is heavy-with-stubbornness—he refuses to send the people free. 15 Go to Pharaoh in the morning, here, he goes out to the Nile, station yourself to meet him by the shore of the Nile, and the staff that changed into a snake, take in your hand, 16 and say to him: YHWH, the God of the Hebrews, has sent me to you, saying: Send free my people, that they may serve me in the wilderness! But here, you have not hearkened thus far. 17 Thus says YHWH: By this shall you know that I am YHWH: here, I will strike—with the staff that is in my hand—upon the water that is in the Nile, and it will change into blood. 18 The fish that are in the Nile will die, and the Nile will reek, and the Egyptians will be unable to drink water from the Nile. 20b He raised the staff and struck the water in the Nile, before the eyes of Pharaoh and before the eyes of his servants, and all the water that was in the Nile changed into blood. 21a The fish that were in the Nile died, and the Nile reeked, and the Egyptians could not drink water from the Nile; 23 So Pharaoh turned and came into his house, neither did he pay any mind to this. 24 But all Egypt had to dig around the Nile to drink water, for they could not drink from the waters of the Nile.
19 YHWH said to Moshe: Say to Aharon: Take your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt, over their tributaries, over their Nile-canals, over their ponds and over all their bodies of water, and let them become blood! There will be blood throughout all the land of Egypt—in the wooden-containers, in the stoneware. 20a Moshe and Aharon did thus, as YHWH had commanded them. 21b the blood was throughout all the land of Egypt. 22 But the magicians of Egypt did thus with their occult-arts, and Pharaoh’s heart remained strong-willed, and he did not hearken to them, as YHWH had spoken.
Each source is complete, consistent, and lacks redundancies and contradictions. The fact that the longer story can be separated into two complete, self-consistent stories is one of the strongest indications of the validity of the source-critical model—try dividing almost any story you may know into two or more complete stories—this is almost always impossible.
The interweaving of stories, as done here in Exodus 7:14-25, is less usual than placing longer blocks or complete episodes one after another, as in the creation stories in Genesis 1:1-2:4a and 2:4b-3:24. The redactor interweaves stories when it would be awkward from a narrative perspective to place them consecutively, as here, where a blood water plague would have been immediately followed by another blood water plague. Thus, the accounts were interwoven or collated—as in the flood narrative, where one flood (with a promise that another flood will never follow) could not be followed by a second flood story.
Identifying a narrative strand as P or Priestly is often easier than identifying non-P, since P has several striking telltale characteristics, some of which appear in this story. The Priestly story (in blue) has Aaron, the founder of the Priesthood, as a significant protagonist, while the non-P story depicts Moses alone in this role. This connects with the earlier account in P (6:12, 30), where Moses complains that he cannot speak well and God tells Moses that Aaron will be his prophet.
In addition, P is characterized by a desire for order, as represented in the first creation story in Genesis 1:1-2:4a. It is thus not surprising that this author defines all of the different types of water-bodies in Egypt: “over the waters of Egypt, over their tributaries, over their Nile-canals, over their ponds and over all their bodies of water” (v. 19).
I must admit that at the age of thirteen, I was concerned about getting the vowels and cantillation right, and I did not see these contradictions. My traditional Jewish education did not encourage or even allow me to see as a possibility that the Torah text is composite, encompassing different documents with different theologies and styles. But once I was introduced to this possibility in a serious way, about five years later, it has been hard for me to read the text otherwise. When I see doublets and contradictions, I do not look for ad-hoc answers that reconcile each individual problem; instead, source-criticism is my powerful general tool for discerning and hearing the different voices and traditions embedded in the text. As result, in many ways, the Torah text is richer, and more meaningful to me now than it was forty-four years ago.
14 YHWH said to Moshe: Pharaoh’s heart is heavy-with-stubbornness—he refuses to send the people free. 15 Go to Pharaoh in the morning, here, he goes out to the Nile, station yourself to meet him by the shore of the Nile, and the staff that changed into a snake, take in your hand, 16 and say to him: YHWH, the God of the Hebrews, has sent me to you, saying: Send free my people, that they may serve me in the wilderness! But here, you have not hearkened thus far. 17 Thus says YHWH: By this shall you know that I am YHWH: here, I will strike—with the staff that is in my hand—upon the water that is in the Nile, and it will change into blood. 18 The fish that are in the Nile will die, and the Nile will reek, and the Egyptians will be unable to drink water from the Nile. 19 YHWH said to Moshe: Say to Aharon: Take your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt, over their tributaries, over their Nile-canals, over their ponds and over all their bodies of water, and let them become blood! There will be blood throughout all the land of Egypt—in the wooden-containers, in the stoneware. 20 Moshe and Aharon did thus, as YHWH had commanded them. He raised the staff and struck the water in the Nile, before the eyes of Pharaoh and before the eyes of his servants, and all the water that was in the Nile changed into blood. 21 The fish that were in the Nile died, and the Nile reeked, and the Egyptians could not drink water from the Nile; the blood was throughout all the land of Egypt. 22 But the magicians of Egypt did thus with their occult-arts, and Pharaoh’s heart remained strong-willed, and he did not hearken to them, as YHWH had spoken. 23 So Pharaoh turned and came into his house, neither did he pay any mind to this. 24 But all Egypt had to dig around the Nile to drink water, for they could not drink from the waters of the Nile.
 A similar tradition appears in the E sections of Exodus 3, which is a composite text. Only for the J source was God’s “true” name, YHWH, always known.
 See Everett Fox, The Five Books of Moses (The Schocken Bible; NY: Schocken, 1995). That translation prints the Bible as poetry, in breath-units; these are reproduced here.
 It is not unusual for a source to end or begin in the middle of a verse; the verse divisions were formed at a later period.
 Many scholars consider the non-P account to be J, the work of the Yahwist, though some (e.g. William Propp and Richard Elliott Friedman) feel that the non-P strand in the plague narrative is E.

With room for up to 10 people, "Dinner's" private dining room offers a unique and exclusive environment in which to enjoy its award-winning cuisine.
The hotel enjoys a long and prestigious history. Overlooking London's Hyde Park on one side and Knightsbridge on the other, the hotel building was originally created in 1889 as an exclusive 'Gentleman's Club'. The project, originally known as Hyde Park Court, was announced in August 1887 but was delayed by planning disagreements, the most notable dispute being the proposed height of the development, which was to be the tallest building in London. The dramatic skyline using red brick and Portland stone in an eclectic Franco-Flemish style. Loggias were built to provide space for a pleasant summer's evening lounge and promenade overlooking the park. Each of the first three floors was designed with four family suites and a bachelor's suite. The upper floors were planned as single residences of varying sizes; however, more than half the tenants occupied at least two or more suites.
The hotel opened its doors to the public as the Hyde Park Hotel in 1902. The palatial interior decoration and the use of marbles and gilding were years ahead of the best London hotels of the time. The hall, entered from Knightsbridge through swinging doors of carved walnut, was lined with coloured marble and had a frescoed ceiling, as well as a marble chimney-piece complete with a marble clock. Stairs of white marble flanked with balustrades led to the upper ground floor. This style of decoration continued in the principal communal rooms, including the breakfast and dining room overlooking Hyde Park.
As a private 'Gentleman's Club', the entrance to the building was through the Loggia, but in 1902, when it reopened as Hyde Park Hotel, the postal address had changed from Albert Gate to 66 Knightsbridge. Tradition has it that the Queen would not allow any form of advertising within the Park, and therefore insisted that the main entrance, with the hotel's name above it, be moved from the Park side to Knightsbridge. The Queen consequently mandated that the original entrance be preserved for Royal use, unless permission is otherwise granted by the Royal Household, which has been upheld ever since. The doors were opened during the coronation of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth in 1937 when the Crown gave special permission for the guests to use the park entrance.
Today, guests of Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park, London can still take part in this tradition of the hotel by requesting permission from the Royal Parks to use the 'Royal Entrance' for special occasions. Guests who have been granted access to this entrance include members of the Japanese Imperial family, former South African Premier General Hertzog, and a President of Uganda. Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group purchased the Hyde Park Hotel in November 1996 and renamed it Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park, London.

What should my oral health routine be at home?
Brushing 2-3times per day with a suitable fluoridated toothpaste and a small soft bristled tooth brush. It’s also a good idea to spit any excess tooth paste out instead of rinsing. This leaves the fluoride on your teeth for a longer period of time.
Immediate action is required for dental injuries. If a tooth is knocked out, place tooth in a container, submerged with milk and come straight to the surgery for urgent treatment.
If you are suffering with a tooth ache, call us immediately and we will do our best to see you as soon as possible. Danielle | Receptionist.
I have a fear of the dentist. How can I overcome this?
I have been working at this practice for a long time and I see many patients who are anxious or nervous – it is a very common comment that I hear. Sometimes it is not easy hearing “You will be ok, we will look after you!” But, we do look after you and work to make you feel comfortable. The dentist explains what he thinks is the right treatment plan for the individual and always converses with the parents regarding their children.
I do get extremely nervous and anxious when I have my 6 monthly check-up. I know there is nothing to worry about but once you have a bad experience (particularly when you were young) that feeling will not always go away.
My family want to come together for regular checkups. Is there a discount available?
At Albany Dental, we offer gap free preventative care for families who come every 6 months. This service would start at your 2nd family visit where we would discount the gap payment for all members of the family. This discount applies to examinations, scale and polish, fluoride and preventative x-rays. Danielle | Receptionist.

Canal View Housing, Gujranwala is an interesting project that has attracted a fair amount of public attention. While slow in the beginning, price trends turned in its favour as it developed. This caused investors to gain significantly on their staked capital. Currently, while the investors can still invest for medium-term returns, Canal View Housing suits genuine buyers more.
Located on Canal View Road, the project sits right next to Wapda Town. A number of popular housing schemes of the city are located nearby. These include Citi Housing Scheme and Palm City Gujranwala. All these factors make it one of the top housing societies in the area.
Currently, the project offers 5-marla, 10-marla, 15-marla, 1-kanal, and 2-kanal residential plots to investors. The society is divided four blocks, with development having taken place in all of them. The roads network is complete. And a number of desirable housing facilities have been provided – all within the vicinity of the residential compound.
The basic utilities of electricity, gas, water, and sewerage are also available. The most striking feature of the project, however, is its grand mosque; easily one of the most beautiful in the city.
The market for Canal View Gujranwala is fairly active, according to Hussain Asghar of Asghar Associates.
Genuine buyers are taking interest and investing in the project. The 5-marla and 10-marla plots are particularly popular. They are affordable, and available for ready possession. Because of these reasons, people are eagerly buying them to construct their homes. They are also interested in the project’s long-term potential.
Should you build your home here?
Canal View Housing, Gujranwala is definitely worth considering as a home settlement option. As already stated, the project’s location is fantastic. It is also surrounded by the bulk of the recent developments in Gujranwala.
Some of the top housing projects in the city are nearby, so everything you need will be available at a short distance. Even if it isn’t available in the housing scheme itself.
According to Hussain, Canal View Gujranwala is the perfect project for genuine buyers looking to settle their families soon.
The plot prices are quite affordable. Five marla plots are the most attractive in this respect, but very few of them are still on the market. So if you do manage to find one, buy it without delay!
According to Hussain, the society is also a great option for mid-term or long-term investors to put their money in.
If Canal View Housing Scheme has caught your interest, you can expect decent profits in two to three years’ time. The prices have appreciated by around 15% to 20% during the past year. So in all likelihood, similar trends can be expected over the upcoming period.
Are you looking to buy a plot in Canal View Housing, Gujranwala? Do you have any questions or concerns regarding your decision? You can discuss them with us in the comments section below. Alternatively, you can head to the Zameen Forum to engage in an extensive discussion on the topic.
I can’t agree with your analysis more that it suits to genuine buyers and that the project’s location is fantastic. For the last 2 years, I observed this area closely. The compound annual growth rate — during this period — in Canal View remained between 15% and 22% which is very good. I also observed that there are four other housing societies in the area competing with Canal View. However, it still has best location compared to other four. Since Canal View is fully developed and other four have room for development, therefore, Canal View is likely to appreciate at lower rate than the others. The pattern tells that Wafi City is likely to appreciate next and then Palm City. And those who can’t afford these societies still have option to build a home in G Mangolia. Master City has no competitor in the area and nearby comparable area Peoples Colony is already appreciated a lot. So, Wafi City and especially Master City are great candidates for investment.
Thank you for your insightful analysis!

Two cars were involved in a collision on the 57 Freeway in Fullerton, California this early Sunday, a 15-year-old boy was killed in the process.
The boy, Luis Torres of Santa Ana, was pronounced dead at the scene of the incident, which occurred at around two a.m. on the southbound 57 Freeway, north of Yorba Linda Boulevard, says a California Highway Patrol official. California Highway Patrol authorities announced the driver of a 2015 Honda had been arrested after it was revealed that she could have been under the influence of alcohol.
Nicole Cortinas, a Moreno Valley resident, suffered injuries including a fractured back and was rushed to the University of California Irvine Medical Center, where she will be closely supervised by officers until she is medically cleared for questioning.
According to CHP officials, the female driver of a 2009 Honda had exited onto the right shoulder of the freeway for unknown reasons. Eventually, the two passengers exited the car and resided to the passenger side of the vehicle, two others remained in the vehicle. Cortinas was driving on the freeway at an unknown speed when she allowed another car to move to the right shoulder. Officers claim she quickly drove into a roadway sign before crashing into the back of the other Honda, leaving the teenage passenger suffering from fatal injuries.
The driver of the vehicle that was hit was Santa Ana resident Jennifer Baca, who also sustained a fractured rib and sternum after the collision.
It’s reported that two lanes were closed on the northbound side of the Freeway but are now reopened.
If you or a loved one have suffered a personal injury as a result of someone else’s negligent driving, do not hesitate to call an experienced Fullerton car accident attorney from the law offices of Guldjian Law. California’s statute of limitation declares you must file a claim within two years of the date of the accident, or your case will more than likely be dismissed. This time is even shorter if you plan on pursuing legal action against a government entity, so it’s of the utmost urgency you contact us today or click here to schedule your free legal consultation. Once completed you will meet with a legal representative to determine whether you are eligible to earn legal compensation for hardships suffered because of your accident.

Robert Kenner’s Oscar-nominated Food Inc. is one of those documentaries that gets me fired up no matter how many times I watch it, so please bear with me if this review morphs into a rant about the government. As someone interested in health and nutrition, I sometimes settle in to the idea that everyone has the choice of what food to eat, and that all one has to do to become healthy is eat a higher healthy fat, low-carb diet with foods from quality sources. It should be so simple, right? In a perfect world, maybe. But this is not a perfect world because I do not drive a Ferrari to work or own a unicorn that poops out grass-fed, organic cheeseburgers. Unfortunately, we live in a world with a government that was formed to protect the people but has instead been corrupted by large corporations, putting profits ahead of the health and livelihood of its people. Food, Inc. discusses the dishonesty fed to us in every step of food production even before the seed is planted in the ground or the chicken is hatched from the egg, and it does so with a barrage of stunning statistics that opens the viewer’s eyes a little wider with each one.
The film begins by interviewing Eric Schlosser, investigative journalist and author of Fast Food Nation. He explains that the vast majority of food companies are controlled by about half a dozen large corporations—corporations that keep their farmers so far in debt and fear that even the most ethical farmer is forced to grow chickens that can’t stand because they are too sick and fat, or risk a lawsuit they have no chance of winning. Michael Pollan, author of The Omnivore’s Dilemma, then discusses the history and current uses of one of America’s favorite crops: corn. Farmers are subsidized and encouraged to grow as much corn as possible because it can be used to make all kinds of sweeteners, fuels, building materials, and, most disturbingly, animal feed. It is well known that cows and fish were never meant to eat corn and yet the majority are, which causes countless health problems in the animals and even in humans.
What can be made from corn? Probably more than you think– and it turns out that’s not necessarily a good thing.
One of these health problems is caused by E. coli O157:H7, a strain of E. coli resistant to a cow’s stomach acids meaning it ends up in their feces and, in turn, ground beef. It is a strain that was never meant to exist in humans, yet by feeding cows food they weren’t meant to eat it was created, strengthened and introduced into the human population. In 2001, this virus killed a two-year-old named Kevin, a perfectly healthy boy who ate a hamburger while on vacation and died twelve days later of kidney failure. His mother, Barbara, is now a food safety advocate and is working hard to enact Kevin’s Law, which would allow the USDA to shut down processing plants that repeatedly produce contaminated food. This no-brainer law has not been passed thanks to lobbying from meat processors, though some aspects have been adopted into Obama’s 2011 FSMA Law.
The last sections of the film focus on the government tactics used to increase profits and control the agriculture and farming industry. A farmer who raises grass-fed animals explains that the government has tried shutting down his farm because of “unsanitary conditions” (he processes chickens by hand in an open-air shelter in his field, for example), which is odd because his chicken was tested at a local lab against store-bought chicken and was found to have 27x less harmful bacteria. He then discusses a 1980 Supreme Court ruling that allowed companies to patent genetically-modified organisms and fueled many biotechnology companies, namely Monsanto, to create GMO crops and then control farmers who use those crops through threats of patent infringement lawsuits. These companies can even investigate and sue farmers who never bought GMO seeds if some have blown into their field from a neighboring farm without them knowing. The film then discusses several key players in Monsanto’s strong grasp in the government including Monsanto attorney-turned Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, members of the Clinton and Bush administration, and several members of the USDA and FDA.
Just as I was feeling the overwhelming urge to punch a Monsanto lawyer in the face, the documentary ends with a short glimmer of hope. The conclusion reminds us that with every news story of salmonella or E. coli, and every documentary like Food Inc. (there are many), the curtain covering up the corruption in the food industry is slowly being pulled away, informing consumers who are then better able to vote with their dollar by purchasing local produce and food if possible. It cites the changes in the tobacco industry over the past few decades as evidence that the food industry can similarly improve.
This is another documentary that we watched before filming our own, and was the film I personally kept most in the back of my mind while filming and editing. Though our film focuses mostly on the labor behind the food, while Food Inc. focuses on the government corruption influencing food quality and safety, there is a short section in the film about the large corporation Smithfield arranging with government agencies to only arrest and deport a small number of illegal immigrant workers every night to satisfy the need for deportations with little impact to their workforce.
I couldn’t cover everything I wanted because the film is so densely packed with important information—all I can say is you just have to watch it. I highly recommend this documentary to anyone and everyone, especially those interested in food and health. No matter how many times I watch it I still find myself feeling depressed and angry at the government afterwards. The genius of this film is that I feel these things without the film even grazing the surface of animal rights and humane slaughtering practices— it doesn’t need to because your jaw is already on the floor without these. Funny enough, after watching the movie I had to cook some chicken breasts to bring to work and I just stared at them for a few minutes, glaring at the picture of a happy little farm on the package and thinking about how this chicken probably wasn’t an animal—just a fat, sickly blob of meat who couldn’t walk two steps.
Cinematography: 9/10 From the beginning, you see helicopter shots of rolling fields and smooth panning shots in a large grocery store. Knowing how hard it is to get permission to do these things (having tried myself with our film), I was impressed.
Soundtrack: 9/10 The music helped to elicit emotions; for example, during tense scenes involving the lawsuits between farmers and these corporations the music became dramatic and suspenseful.
Editing: 10/10 The structure of the film was easy to follow. The animations at the beginning explaining the companies who control meat processing or the difference between a chicken of the 1950’s and a chicken today were very well done, and again having tried doing creative animations like this in our own film (having to finally resort to kinetic typography) I was very impressed.
Impact: 10/10 If I could rate this one any higher I would (I guess I could since I made the scoring system, but I’ll resist the urge). This is an issue that affects everyone no matter their income level, race, or any other lifestyle characteristic. Anyone who eats food (which should be everyone) is affected by the laws and actions of the government AND has the power to improve the system.

I am a New York State Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing psychotherapy for over 25 years in Huntington, New York. I started my professional learning at Temple University, where I obtained my Masters in Social Work. After completing this I went on to obtain my credentials in substance abuse counseling (CASAC) in order to further my skills to help my patients impacted by addiction. My extensive training and experience in this area has led me to specialized work with children and their parents.
During my work with families I sought out additional education at The William Alanson White Institute of Psychiatry, Psychoanalysis & Psychology, a respected psychoanalytic training and treatment center. I studied in their three yearlong Child and Adolescent program that provides its graduates with expertise in the psychodynamic understanding and treatment of children and adolescents. I was fortunate enough to teach a course in developmental issues in families and children for psychology doctoral students in the child and adolescent externship program at The White Institute. This continued relationship has aided me in my own personal growth as a practitioner.
Most recently I sought to expand my knowledge and skill base for working with parents and couples. I wanted to help couples on a deeper level and recognized a real need to change my work. Many couples were finding traditional methods of couples therapy to be redundant. With this in mind I am currently training under Stan Tatkin, PsyD, MFT, who pioneered A Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy (PACT). This is extremely exciting and instrumental in informing my current work with couples. To my delight, couples are making wonderful progress and having some fun doing so.

Wow! That title sure seems strange coming from me, doesn’t it?
The truth is, though, that when you build your sales plans to make your goal, chances are pretty high that you will MISS your goal!!
Reason is simple: Things don’t always go as planned.
Many of you are building your 2014 sales goals as you read this, and if you’re not, you need to start. It’s one thing to set a goal, but it’s another to have a plan that allows you to make (and exceed!) the goal.
Let’s use an easy example.
We’ll say you want to achieve $1 million in sales next year. Fine, nothing wrong with that number. In breaking it down, though, you need to plan on building toward a number larger than $1 million.
To hit your number of $1 million in sales, you may need to plan to get to $1.4 million. This allows for customers or sales that don’t come through as expected.
Plan for this upfront. Don’t wait until you’re half way through the year to start the process.
Too many salespeople wait too long to build contingency plans, and in so doing, they never achieve their numbers.
I’m not a fan of contingency plans, so I’d rather see you doing a lot of pro-active planning instead.
What makes it so effective is by building your plan like this in advance, you’re more likely to achieve your goal. Better yet is if everything does fall into place, you will wind up achieving a number far above your stated goal.
Sales managers who are reading this need to make sure each salesperson follows through in their pre-planning.
Top performers will, but the average and below-average won’t, and come half-way through the year, you’ll be staring at a sales goal that is increasingly harder to hit.
Don’t build plans to make your goal. Aim higher!

This is going to be the first of a weekly series where I review the most recent episode of Star Wars Rebels. As a contributor to addisonrecorder.com, I’m writing reviews bi-weekly. Reviewing Rebels seems like a good way to keep exercising those skills I’m developing.
I will do my best to avoid spoilers. Where I can’t avoid them, I will be sure to put a spoiler warning at the top of the article.
The Phantom approaches the clones’ modified AT-TE.
The second season proper of Star Wars Rebels wastes no time setting the stage for big conflicts and story arcs. Commander Sato’s fledgling rebellion is on the run from the Empire – the destruction of their flagship has left them too weak to fight. They need a hidden location to use as a base of operations. The crew of the Ghost is dispatched to find an old acquaintance of Ahsoka Tano’s who may know of such a place. This brings Kanan face to face with a trio of clone troopers, reminding him of the terrible events we saw in Kanan: The Last Padawan. Kanan doesn’t react well to the clones nor they to him. It will be a touch-and-go relationship. Ahsoka splits off from the fleet to investigate the mysterious Sith Lord Darth Vader. “There are questions. Questions that need answering,” she tells Kanan and Ezra. Lastly, the clones decline to join the Rebellion. Though he hates the Empire, Rex is weary of war and has no desire to get involved in another one. Ezra seems determined to change his mind.
The episode if chock full of story, but it’s a bit light on action, moving along by dialogue. To its credit, the exposition is handled well by being featured in strong character moments. Freddie Prinze, Jr. turns in a stellar performance when Kanan breaks down and talks about Order 66 and why he distrusts the clones. Ezra continues to grow as a leader among the rebels – he took point on diplomacy with the clones and no one so much as batted an eye. He’s come a long way from the Loth-rat of a kid everyone picked on.
The Ghost approaches orbit around Seelo.
My only real complaint with this episode is that Hera was sidelined. The Ghost’s hyperdrive shorted out when they arrived in orbit around Seelos. She and Chopper remained aboard to fix it while the story happened dirtside. I hope it sets her up to be the hero next episode but for now it’s a bit irksome.
The animation of Rebels has always been beautiful. The sweeping majesty of the plains of Lothal, inspired by Ralph McQuarrie, are just sublime. What I appreciated in “The Lost Commanders” is the facial expressions. The animators are getting incredibly sophisticated with what they can do. Particularly with Ahsoka, we get some great, subtle moments conveyed only through facial expressions. It’s hard to believe that animation this complex can also be so subtle and affective.
Ahsoka cracks a wry smile over Ezra’s exuberance.
In addition, I’d like to nominate whomever draws the clouds in Rebels for a special Best Animation of Clouds Emmy award because, hot damn, have the clouds in both seasons been phenomenal. Last year we got the swirling, voluminous clouds of Lothal. Last night we got the wispy, stretched clouds of Seelos. I’ve paused multiple episodes just to look at the clouds.
The clouds actually make the desert look kind of nice.
This episode features a new desert planet – called Seelos – with blasted, cracked earth rather than the rolling dunes of Tatooine. There they seek the help of the desert dwelling nomads and must undergo a ritual involving the capture of an enormous worm, eventually winning the respect of those they came to find.
It all sounds more than a bit like the first third of the book Dune – and since the episode ended with a “To be continued…” we may well have more Dune-inspired Star Wars ahead of us.
Dave Filoni drew upon the cinema canon during The Clone Wars, entire story arcs are homages to classic films. I think we’re seeing a literary homage in “The Lost Commanders.” Granted, there have been several film adaptations of Dune over the years but the visuals on display more closely match the covers from the novel’s original publication in Analog. Filtered through a McQuarrie-esque sensibility, to be sure, but still reminiscent.
Frank Herbert’s Dune had an impact on the original Star Wars. Narrative similarities between the stories come from their similarly mythic storytelling. Both are a classic hero’s journey and feature a young man triumphing against impossible odds. Large portions of both stories take place upon a desert world inhabited by dangerous, mysterious nomads. There are even parallels between the Herbert’s Bene Gesserit and mentats and Lucas’ Jedi. I seem to recall an interview with George Lucas where he discussed the impact Dune had upon him but I can’t remember the specifics.
The joopa “Big Bongo.” Kanan for scale.
In the joopa hunting scene we were a single shouted, “Worm sign!” from Arrakis. Every space opera epic since Dune has needed a sandworm. Mass Effect has its Thresher Maws. Now Star Wars has the joopa (arguably, in addition to the space slug and the sarlaac). Beyond the cosmetic similarities, there are thematic ties to the sandworms of Dune.
First is the space the joopa occupies in the narrative of the episode: the newcomers must prove their worth to the desert people in a trial of the worm. In Dune, of course, this is when Paul calls a great worm and uses his maker hooks to keep it from submerging so it can be used as a mount. Thus he is finally accepted fully as a Fremen. In Rebels, Ezra, Sabine, and Zeb all play key parts in bagging “Big Bongo” for Gregor. Ezra even uses a pair of staves to get Bongo to surface, in a corollary to Paul’s maker hooks.
Second is the symbiotic nature between the desert people (the clones) and the worm. Gregor says that catching a joopa can feed them for a year – it’s a major food source and likely economic windfall for the clones. The Fremen in Dune worship the sandworms as gods and much of their culture is based around the massive creatures. The clones’ survival is as tied to the joopa as the Fremen’s survival is tied to the sandworm.
If “The Clone Commanders” really is the first episode in an arc inspired by Dune, the next two episodes ought to be exciting. That’s when all the really crazy action and revelations happen. We all have to temper our enthusiasm, though. Our little band of Rebels isn’t about to topple the Empire and dethrone the Emperor the way Paul Muad’dib and the Fremen of Sietch Tabr did by the end of Dune. We know how that happens.

Remember to save your rosemary stems. You can use them like skewers to secure the prosciutto to the chicken. Extra stems can also be used to infuse oils and vinegars or used to flavor stocks and soups.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray; set aside.
Season chicken with salt, pepper and rosemary. Wrap each chicken breast with one slice of prosciutto, secure with a rosemary stem, and place on prepared baking sheet.
Bake chicken for 18 to 22 minutes or until chicken reaches 165 degrees. Remove from oven and let rest for 3 to 5 minutes. Remove rosemary stems before serving.
From the week of April 29, 2015.

EA is the professional designation for an Enrolled Agent. After the Civil War, many citizens had problems settling claims with the government for horses and other property confiscated for use in the war effort. After many petitions and much pleading, Congress in 1884 endowed Enrolled Agents with the power of advocacy to prepare claims against the government and to seek equitable justice for the citizenry. For many years, the purpose of the Enrolled Agent was to act in this capacity.
In 1913, when the income tax was passed, the job of the Enrolled Agent was expanded to include claims for monetary relief for citizens whose taxes had become inequitable. As the income tax, estate, gift and other sources of tax collections became more complex, the role of the Enrolled Agent increased to include the preparation of the many tax forms that were required. Additionally, as audits became more prevalent, their role evolved into taxpayer advocacy, negotiating with the Internal Revenue Service on behalf of their clients.
In 1972, EAs united to form a national association to represent the needs and interests of EAs and the rights of taxpayers. That association is today called the National Association of Enrolled Agents. Through their national association and state affiliates, Enrolled Agents have successfully defended their rights to practice and furthered the passage of legislation and administrative rules that benefit both tax practitioners and ordinary citizens.

‘Good direction, strong wind and waves. Put those three elements together and you can have magic for sure.’ Bali’s kite surfers enjoy their best days in Bali.
Words: Stephanie Mee. Photos: Jason Wolcot.
FOR ordinary folk, summer in Bali means clear sunny days on the beach or in the rice fields, but for kitesurfers, this is the time to get seriously amped. As soon as the side-shore winds start wailing, these guys and gals grab their gear and head out for epic fast-paced rides along glassy expanses and killer barrels too blown out for surfers but befitting for kiters. Although relatively new in Bali and the world at large, kiting is progressing at a rapid clip and gaining international notoriety for its extreme versatility and fun factor.
The birth of kiting as we know it today can be traced back to the 1800s when a pioneering soul by the name of George Pocock got the brilliant idea to propel ships across the water with kites that were attached by a four-line system, a system that is still used in modern kitesurfing today. Over the years many enterprising individuals developed new equipment and pushed the sport forward, but it wasn’t until the 1980s that the kitesurfing took on its modern form and was popularised by radical thinkers in Maui and California.
By the 1990s, kitesurfing had exploded on the international scene, and Giancarlo Avancini (AKA Jankie) was one of the devotees. Jankie arrived in Bali in the late ‘90s, and like so many do, fell in love with the place and a local beauty, so he decided to settle here. In 1999, he opened the Blue Oasis Beach Club, and two years later began teaching kitesurfing at the club, making it the first and only kitesurfing school in Bali.
It was precisely this flexibility that drew in adventurous enthusiasts much like surfers to swells, and longtime Bali denizen, Sky Rama, was among them.
“I come from Maui, the birthplace and mecca of kitesurfing, but ironically it was Bali that broke me in about six years ago,” says Sky. “I got up on my second lesson, and once I got going, the rush was like being a little kid again. That’s when I knew it was for me.
“I was born into surfing, so that absolutely helped, but with surfing I felt like had I reached a plateau. With kitesurfing there is so much more freedom. You can go out on the ocean and play here and there. And we don’t need huge waves, because the wind creates the speed and the speed is what makes it fun.
In recent years, riders like Sky have seen a mind-boggling increase in the technology of kitesurfing equipment, which has propelled the sport to unprecedented levels.
“The safety systems on the kites are light years ahead of what they were five or six years ago.” Sky says. “Now it’s very easy to detach everything if you have to, and easier to launch from tight areas. For the general public, it’s so much safer now.
Watch Sky and his crew ride, or any kitesurfing video, and you may get the impression that kitesurfing is no more difficult than strapping yourself in and slicing through the surf like a knife through butter. However, like all extreme sports, there is an element of danger involved.
Sky says: “One of the most dangerous things that can happen is you drop the kite and a wave hits the kite while you’re still hooked in. Then the kite starts riding with the waves and drags you along, so you’re going at the same speed that the wave is going and practically drowning. That’s the hairiest – getting worked into the surf with the kite. It’s like being pulled by a boat and it keeps pulling, and you can’t breathe.
Besides safety and skills, kitesurfers have to be aware of the on-water etiquette and learn how to share their space with others in the ocean, particularly surfers. In Bali this has been an especially poignant issue.
“We were kiting at Batu Bolong way before there was anyone even surfing there,” says Sky. “Even four years ago, there were hardly any surfers there. That was our spot. But slowly all the schools moved in and it got so crowded that we got squeezed out. And they kept saying, ‘Go up the beach there’, and we were like ‘We want to ride waves too’.
“We know that surfing’s been around a lot longer than kitesurfing – I know that because I’m a surfer myself – and we’re not trying to plant our flag and or step on anyone’s toes. Teaching is their business, and we respect that. But on the other hand, we feel that we just want a little understanding on our side. Kitesurfing is something relatively new, and people are often afraid of things they don’t understand.
Like Jankie, Sky believes that kitesurfing will only get bigger in Bali and around Indonesia.
“Vietnam is known for its great kitesurfing conditions, but the waves in Bali are much nicer to ride,” he says.
“In fact, I would choose the best days in Bali over the best days in Vietnam for sure. The boys and I also go to a few of the outer islands here that we would rank as some of the best in the world. So Indonesia is actually one of the best places for kitesurfing when the season is on.
The dry season between May and September is the best time to grab the gusts in Bali. During this time, the easterly trade winds are not extremely strong, but they can be consistent. The windiest months are June, July and August.
Because Bali tends to have light winds, bigger kites are better. Depending on your weight, the kite should be anywhere from 12 to 15 metres.
In Bali the best place for beginner kitesurfers is at Kite Beach in Sanur, also called Pantai Pura Mertasari. The huge lagoon here is perfect for newbies, as the water is calm and the wind intensity is not so strong.
For more advanced riders, Canggu has a number of spots that get world-class wind and waves on the right days. However, the area is not recommended for beginners, as there are a number of hazards including big waves, currents, rocks and crowded surf breaks.
Some of the most consistent winds can be found in Bali’s wild west in Menjangan Bay. Here the winds are strong and the water is smooth. A local kiter by the name of Iwan has recently set up a kitesurfing camp here called Wild West Beach Camp with rustic bungalows and epic days on offer.
Bali Kitesurfing School is the original kitesurfing school on the island, and it is run by a group of passionate and patient Balinese kitesurfers. They use the latest and best equipment on the market, all lessons are one-on-one and the instructors will follow you at all times in the water in a motorised boat.
Rip Curl School of Surf is an international kitesurfing school that is associated with International Kite Organisation (IKO). They offer three levels of lessons, and provide rash shirts, shorts, wetsuits, impact vests, booties, helmets, seating harnesses, bars, kites and boards with every lesson.
Kite & Surf Bali – The Pro Shop is the only kitesurfing shop in Bali, and a haven of top-notch equipment and world-class brands like Cabrinha, Ozone, Jimmy Lewis and Flying Object.

And that is the question that should be asked. It boggles the mind and offends the senses that there is EVEN ONE MEMBER OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION who is upset that Israel is pummeling the Palestinian wing of the Muslim Brotherhood. Under Ariel Sharon, Israel forcibly removed its citizens from Gaza and turned the land over to the Arabs. Israel has been rewarded for that gesture of conciliation with the abduction and killing of its citizens and the launching of hundreds of rockets into its territory.
Such provocations have finally goaded the state of Israel into launching a ground invasion of Gaza to take on the infamous Hamas, a terrorist group famous for hiding behind women and children even as they target the same. Death and destruction is a deserving end to all those who purposefully target, kidnap, and murder young, innocent civilians.
That’s the tragic event that triggered this latest round of the current conflict. May all those in Gaza who support such practices pay a very severe price for doing so.
For over two hundred and thirty years the American Republic has weathered wars, epidemics, hostile neighbors, worldwide conflicts, economic disasters, internal struggles, and competing ideologies. Its birth was a long and desperate struggle for independence against the strongest and most advanced military in the world.
In the War of 1812 its capitol was burned to the ground. It suffered the growing pains of expansionism against hostile natives as well as unfriendly claims and competition by Spain, France, Great Britain, and Mexico. It suffered through a tragic and horribly bloody civil war that helped to define the idea of federalism at the expense of states rights and ended once and for all the national shame of slavery. It endured the rigors of industrialization and eventually emerged as the most technologically advanced nation the world had ever seen.
The Republic weathered the stock market collapse and a national drought that sent tens of millions into poverty and many thousands into starvation. And it emerged from its humble origins to proclaim ‘manifest destiny’ and smash the Spanish Empire, German imperialism, Japanese militarism, Italian fascism, the horrors of National Socialism, and eventually the corrupt ideology of Soviet communism. Its armies have faced the Chinese, the Mexicans, the Spanish, the Germans, the Italians, the Japanese, the North Koreans, the Vietnamese, and the petty tyrants of dozens of smaller countries and hot spots. Today it faces the international enemy of Islamic fascism and jihadist fundamentalism.

Gangoli Ghat is a tiny and miniscule Himalayan hamlet sitting in the Pithoragarh district of the mountainous state of Uttarakhand surrounded by Kumaon hills. It is revered as a holy and extremely auspicious site for a shrine dedicated to Goddess Hat Kalika, a divine form of the primordial force Kali. Gangolighat is situated at the apex of a hill is circled by two rivers at its foothills, namely Saryu and Naamganga, in such a way that they give an impression of garlanding the hamlet on top of the hill. Since the hill town of Gangolighat was also a confluence of trade and commerce for local people due to its importance as a religious shrine, these unique attributes resulted in its nomenclature.
Gangoli in the local dialect means the river that garlands and since the hamlet was significant as a marketplace, it became Gangolihat. Since Gangolighat itself is of major prominence due to the Haat Kalika temple shrine, it has also emerged as a major tourist destination with the Patal Bhubneshwar caves nearby.
Gangolighat is equally popular for its age old temples and shrines as it is for these complex and primitive caves which have a strong mythological and spiritual connect in the Hindu philosophy which is the dominating religion in India and these parts. 'Haat Kalika', 'Ambika Dewaal', 'Chamunda Mandir', 'Vaishnavi Mandir' are some of the many auspicious and spiritually awakened temples dedicated to the many forms of the Goddess Kali who is strongly worshipped here. These temple shrines are strategically placed in these locations because of esoteric relevance and Gangolihat at its elevation itself provides a clear view of the Nanda Devi Additionally the 'Vaishnavi Mandir' deserves special mention due to its prime location which provides an unobstructed view of the Himalayas.

The challenges faced by financial institutions today are as numerous as they are nuanced. Be it data security, emerging technology, fraud, crisis management and/or the effectiveness of internal controls, I opened the 12th annual Bank Audit & Risk Committees Conference by laying out a number of key governance, risk and compliance issues and trends.
CHICAGO — While a sophomore at Washington & Lee University, a professor loudly (and unexpectedly) chastised a close friend of mine for stating the obvious. With a wry laugh, he thanked my classmate “for crashing through an open door.” Snark aside, his criticism became a rallying cry for me to pause and dive deeper into apparently simple questions or issues.
Pressure on lending spreads remains intense.
Given the composition of this year’s audience, I acknowledged the obvious nature of these three points. I did so, however, in order to surface three trends we felt all here should have on their radar. I followed that up with three emerging issues to make note of.
Big banks continue to roll-out exceptional customer-facing technology.
Wells Fargo has been kicked around a lot in the press this year, but to see how big banks continue to pile up retail banking wins, take a look at Greenhouse by Wells Fargo, their app designed to attract younger customers to banking.
Traditional core IT providers — Fiserv, Jack Henry & FIS — are under fire.
As traditional players move towards digital businesses, new players continue to emerge to help traditional banks become more nimble, flexible and competitive. Here, FinXact and Nymbus provide two good examples of legitimate challengers to legacy cores.
Amazon lurks as the game changer.
Community banker’s fear Amazon’s potential entry into this market; according to Promontory Interfinancial Network’s recent business outlook, it is their greatest threat.
Big banks attract new deposits at a much faster pace than banks with less than $1 billion assets.
If small banks can’t easily and efficiently attract deposits, they basically have no future. ‘Nuf said.
ISSUE #2: Bank boards need to know if they want to buy, sell or grow independently.
In a recent newsletter, Tom Brown of Second Curve Capital opined that “if you have less than $5 billion in assets, an efficiency ratio north of 65%, deposit costs above 60 basis points, and earn a return on equity in the single digits, this really is time to give some thought to selling.” As I shared on LinkedIn yesterday, the 3 biggest bank M&A deals of the year took place in May: Fifth Third Bancorp’s $4.6 billion purchase of MB Financial, Cadence Bancorp’s $1.3 billion acquisition of State Bank Financial and Independent Bank Group’s $1 billion agreement to buy Guaranty Bancorp. I don’t see the pace of consolidation slowing any time soon — and know that banks need to ask if they want (and can) be buyers or sellers.
The risk of data breaches across industries continues to increase.
Be it risk management, internal control or third-party security considerations, every aspect of an institution is susceptible to a data breach — and managing these threats and identifying appropriate solutions takes a village that includes the most senior leaders of an organization.
Just as banks need to develop their audit and risk capabilities, skills and talents, so too do officers and directors have both an opportunity and the responsibility to stay abreast of various trends and topics. Bank Director’s event continues tomorrow with some fascinating presentations. To see what’s been shared already, take a look at Twitter, where I’m tweeting using @aldominick and #BDAudit18.
