Even with the good news about California's at least temporarily balanced budget, the state's economic footing is still tenuous. Unemployment remains high, especially in the less-affluent inland areas, and the state has yet to deal fully with unfunded public-employee pension liabilities. There remains much to do on jobs and the economy.
California's oil industry offers perhaps the most promise among economic sectors for increasing jobs and tax revenue. California is the third-largest oil producing state, and the hydraulic fracturing (fracking) technology creating boom times for oil production in many parts of the nation is coming to California. The question is whether the state's leaders will embrace it.
As Bloomberg News explained, "California, even as it seeks to be the greenest U.S. state, stands a good chance of emerging as the nation's top oil producer in the next decade, helping America toward what once seemed an unlikely goal of energy independence." The news service points to the federal Bureau of Land Management's sale last month of 15 leases within a massive area near San Francisco where the oil-extraction potential is great.
Certainly, oil can be extracted safely and in an environmentally friendly manner. California has the most stringent environmental regulations in the country, so there is no lack of oversight involving this burgeoning economic endeavor. But there are two problems.
First, influential environmental groups are committed to stopping fracking here altogether, and they have potentially strong support in the state's left-leaning Legislature. For instance, one environmental group is urging the governor to halt fracking until the environmental risks can be evaluated, but its literature suggests the group has already concluded that fracking is bad for the environment. This is a common tactic to stop projects – start with a temporary moratorium, then move to a total ban.
Second, some California legislators, especially now, with Democratic supermajorities in both houses of the Legislature, cannot stop themselves from taxing and spending. Sen. Noreen Evans, D-Santa Rosa, has introduced legislation that would impose a 9.9 percent tax on every barrel of oil produced in California. Sen. Evans says it brings California in line with some other oil-producing states, but California imposes its share of other costs and burdens – the lack of an oil-severance tax is a key reason the industry continues to thrive here.
As oil industry officials note, the price of oil is set by worldwide markets, so higher costs on oil from one discrete area, like California, cannot typically be passed on to consumers. The only effect will be a decrease in California oil production, which will reduce the many other taxes oil companies pay the state, reduce jobs and harm the overall economy at a time when jobs are desperately needed.
Sen. Evans wants to spend the money on education and state parks. Didn't state leaders just persuade voters to pass a multibillion-dollar tax that was supposedly earmarked for education? And ironically, Sen. Evans has been one of the biggest critics of the state parks department, which hid $54 million in funds even as the governor threatened to shut down 70 parks. Parks officials were caught granting themselves improper vacation buyouts.
This isn't an agency that should be rewarded with more money.
Sacramento's Democratic leadership ought to take its time and consider a grand strategy for encouraging oil extraction in the most environmentally sensitive and economically fruitful ways rather than to clamp down on it before the state has a chance to tap into a gusher of new revenue.

Update: Fort Smith police arrest 2 in counterfeiting case
Fort Smith police have arrested two Oklahoma residents suspected of being behind some recent counterfeiting.
Officials said Wednesday that the suspects are each charged with forgery.
The fake bills were spread at Walmart and a Big Lots stores last week. A police report says at least $650 in phony currency was passed at the retailers.
Police said the suspects, Andre Lamont Williams and Marie Lashonda Biglow, are both Tulsa residents. The report says the appearance of the suspects matches footage from store security cameras. Their ages weren't included in the report.
The report says the suspects were detained by Walmart security officers who recognized them from an earlier visit to the store when they allegedly passed counterfeit $20 bills.
It was unclear whether Williams and Biglow have legal counsel.

Going Back to the Early Days - The USA Screens Migrants Who Will Be An Asset to the Nation
10-9-20, 10 am MT Pres Trump Rally NOW on Rush Libaugh Show Here

The Lord Jesus said to:
Mark 13:33, 37
Luke 6:43
✝ 10-28-20, In 1 John 5:13 reports we can KNOW we'll have eternal life with Jesus. Not because of our good works [Ephesians 2:8-9] it is God's gift after we repent and are born again in Jesus. [Luke 13:3, John 3:3,7] We have no fear of the day we stop breathing on this earth because we will go into the arms of our Lord. Hallelujah! Psalm 31:5; Luke 16:23; 2 Corinthians 5:8; Acts 7:59
✝ 6-27-20, The lawlessness we are now seeing on America's streets ... who are these young people? The kids raised under liberal theories forcing parents to withhold discipline from their children & taught liberal leftist dogma in the government schools & universities - now they are unruly selfish hateful barbarians. God said to train up children & they wouldn't depart from it [Proverbs 22:6] □□ ... true for evil □ as well as good □ behaviors. More here: https://bit.ly/3i55gQf
□ 8-25-20, NASA reports a small asteroid is headed to earth & will land on Nov 2, 2020 day before US presidential election. They say not to worry as it's only a seven footer. Some officials aren't so sure about not worrying after the 66 footer hit Russia in 2013. God said He'd send signs in the heavens and the earth. There are plenty of 'em too: eclipse of sun & moon, meteors, tornadoes, earthquakes, volcanoes smoke turning day to night & so much more. Joel 2:30, Revelation 13:13; Luke 21:11, 25; Acts 2:19 □□
✝ 5-27-20, See Romans 13:11; James 5:8; 1 Peter 4:7; 1 Thessalonians 2:19; Titus 2:13; 1 Cor 15:51-52, Rev 11:15 Scripture tells us that "The coming of the Lord is at hand;" but thousands of years have passed without the Lord's coming. We must remember that one thousand years are like one day to God (Psalm 90:4; 2 Peter 3:8). The rapture will happen without warning at any time and believers in the Lord Jesus must be ready at all time. Certain current events cause us to believe we are near the Lord's trumpet call and that the rapture of the church is 'at hand.
✝ 7-11-20, The weight of the 'world's sin' ... the infinite blessings and resources of our salvation in Christ are described as providing the power of surpassing greatness, the grace of surpassing richness, the peace which surpasses all understanding. Thank YOU, Lord. John 1:29; Revelation 5:12; Philippians 4:7
✝ 7-9-20, When the Lord Jesus was on the cross and the people scorned and scoffed; His great love for all ignorant uninformed sinners showed forth. He died for all sinners. Romans 5:8; Luke 23:34 However, after we are aware we're no longer ignorant of Who He was and 'what we do;' THEN we are all responsible if we reject Christ. John 3:17-18
6-29-20, Jesus said, 'Obey Me!' John 14:15; 1 John 2:3, 3:22 Of course we are forgiven when we sincerely pray for forgiveness turning our lives to the Lord Jesus. We must intend to sin no more ... if we do ... quickly repent as we didn't INTEND to. John 8:11 More here: https://www.gotquestions.org/go-and-sin-no-more.html
✝ 6-12-20, The Lord □Jesus' mom, Mary's cousin Elizabeth's son John the Baptist was brutally killed because of a wicked hateful woman. Her foolish husband, King Herod - although he liked John; had him executed because of a promise - he musta been drunk - to make such a promise to his wife's daughter, Salome who's mom, Herodias wanted John dead. Matthew 14:3-11; Mark 6:14-29; Luke 9:7-9
✝ 6-11-20, Regarding forgiveness: the Lord □ Jesus clearly taught that marriage was between a husband & wife. [Matthew 19:5; Mark 7:21] He loves all sinners both the heterosexual & homosexual. He promises forgiveness to everyone who repents coming to Him for salvation. He told the woman caught in adultery: "Go and sin no more." Matthew 11:28
✝ 6-9-20, The Lord □ Jesus explained to Nicodemus that he must be 'born again' [John 3.3, 7]. In Utah I've heard some LDS people scoff and ridicule believers in Christ who are 'born again.' Those who scorn are lost; Jesus clearly said to 'marvel not that you must be born again'; without Christ we are lost. John 3:17-18
✝ 6-8-20, Jesus is God; He came to save sinners. "For He [Jesus] Whom God sent speaks the words of God: The Father loves the Son & has given all things into His hand. He that believs on the Son hath everlasting life & they that believes not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on them." John 3:34-36
✝ 6-7-20, The Lord □ Jesus spoke from the cross first of forgiveness, salvation then of His Mother's care into John's hands. He spoke of being forsaken & then triumph as His task as human was complete shedding His perfect blood for the forgiveness of sins to all who repent believing in Him. His body was thirsty. And last of His reunion with the Father. Matthew 27:46; Luke 23:34, 43, 46; John 19:26-28, 30; Mark 15:34
✝ 6-3-20, Interesting the different duties of God's arch angels. Michael is a warrior who will defeat Satan and Gabriel was/is God's messenger appearing to: Prophet Daniel 8:15-17, 9:21-24 ... Zacharias, father of John the Baptist, Luke 1:11-18... Mary, Mother of Jesus, Luke 1:26-31... Joseph, Husband of Mary, Matthew 1:20-24, 2-13
✝ 6-2-20, In appx 530 BC the Lord God of Israel chose the Persian [aka Iran] King Cyrus to protect and help the Jewish exiles in Babylon. Who would come back and rebuild Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem where now - since 688 AD - a Muslim mosque sits. Mark 13:14; Isaiah 45:4-6, 9, 12-13. World Without End. Ephesians 3:20-21
2 Thessalonians 2:10-12; Jeremiah 1:5; Galatians 6:7; 1 Thessalonians 5:4
Solomon 2:10-13
✝ 5-7-20, Sins □ Jesus Harshly Condemns; He said, "God knows our hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God. V9 For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted." [Pride] Luke 16:15, 18:9-14; Hebrews 1:8-9
✝ 4-30-20, When the Lord □ Jesus Mother told her son that at the Cana wedding celebration there was no wine - I wonder if the Lord did little miracles around the house so Mary knew of His abilities expecting Him to quickly whip up some good wine. And He did! The Lord's first miracle on earth water into wine. John 2:1-11
✝ 4-28-20, The Lord □ Jesus, in the book of Matthew, lists what's called the "Beatitudes." He lists the items in our lives in His 'Sermon on the Mount' that examine our values, vision & habits to wholehearted obedience to God. We seek His forgiveness & acceptance for eternal life with Him; this is the good news 'Gospel.' John 14:6; Matthew 5:1-48, 6:1-34, 7:1-28.

Metrical Psalms 1650 (MP1650)
A metrical Psalter is a version of the Psalms, which is translated into metre and rhyme, to enable the Psalms to be sung to standard tunes during Christian worship. The earliest English metrical Psalms were produced in Geneva by English speaking Protestant exiles in the 16th century. The 3rd edition of the Anglo-Genevan Psalter included 87 psalms. John Knox brought this tradition back to Scotland. In 1562 the General Assembly of the Kirk of Scotland directed that a Psalter be completed. The first complete metrical Psalter was produced in 1564. This was revised by the Englishman Francis Rous in 1641, and it was based on the language of the King James Version of the Bible. The Westminster Assembly submitted this to further revision. This was further revised, and the General Assembly of the Kirk of Scotland authorised the 1650 edition for public worship, and it was used by Presbyterians throughout the United Kingdom and beyond. In Scotland editions of the Authorised King James Version (KJV) of the Bible were often printed with the Metrical Psalter at the back.
Psalm singing has been a feature of public Christian worship since the Reformation. Many of the metrical Psalms, especially Psalm 23 and Psalm 100, are hymns found in the hymnals of many denominations. "The Psalms of David in Metre" are part of the common heritage of the English speaking Church. Most of the Psalms in the Psalter are in the 8,6,8,6 common metre. A small number of psalms have 2 alternatives and the first is listed in this version.
This translation, was first published in 1650. If you are interested in the work of the Bible Society, please contact the British and Foreign Bible Society at www.biblesociety.org.uk

Wouldn't coin-toss picks be 50/50, indicating no edge at all.
And then if iffy picks were lower than that, wouldn't that mean the opponent would be favored stronger?
Anyways, for comparison purposes, my system produced: ATL, NYY, MIN, OAK as its top 4 picks.
For BTS, my system produced: Carlos Gonzalez, Hanley Ramirez, and Ryan Braun as its top 3.
I went with Hanley Ramirez, since it seems like Carlos Gonzalez has been too red-hot recently and Cueto seems capable of shutting him down or walking him a couple times.
For HR BTS, the system suggests skipping today as nothing seems palatable.
One annoying note here, is that the system produced Jim Thome yesterday, who did homer, but I thought he would not start, so I went with Luke Scott, who failed.
@champ88. I like your system, more streamlined.
Regarding coin-toss, iffy categories. I'm not even going to try to strive for prediction of all games in a day. If I can get good-great numbers for 4 games, I'm really happy. Those categories are more of a strength of confidence than anything else
That used to be a contest on MLB.
You could win something if you predicted the winner of all 15 Opening Day matchups.
I think my record was 11 correct 1 year.
1st-inning single for Teixeira.
Leader moves to 37.
I'm liking that new program. Predicted BAL over NYY though game is still early & won't know it's final tallies til later

Miguel Cabrera really is the only one to take out anyone yet. A few little players still have some shots to succeed.
Hanley Ramirez just getting up now in the 8th.
Ramirez: 0 for 5 now, but Madson threw a wild pitch before the AB was over, so the game is now tied at 7.
@champ88. Assuming Hanley gets no more ABs. 27 drop tonite so far including 2nd place leader, with 10 still TBD. BTW: Hayes is w/HOU & is DNP. Of the DNP, none of them were at 16, all had at least 1 game to spare.
Hey Champion88, what is this program you are talking about with HR BTS? That sounds interesting as that game is hard as hell.
Survivor Calculator results: Succesfully picked 2 upsets today: BAL/NYY & PIT/ATL. With 10 for 12 picked correctly overall, 3 games left tonight (so far 1-2).
Top Survivor picks tomorrow? CIN, ATL, CWS, STL, OAK
Possible upsets tomorrow? AZ, CHC

Even though each of the items we make are made to order, we do generally have the leather pieces cut to the two default sizes, holes punched, and have already been treated with the wax finishing coat. We don't assemble them past that until an order comes through, mostly due to them being easier to store in that state. We also sometimes have a few of our standard sizes already made in our stock we bring to shows.
For the majority of the engraved pieces, we do currently have stock. Any that are ordered that are not in stock, we generally try and create many of them to restock. Custom pieces we only create one of, so it takes more time having to adjust the letter set and sizing on the machine, as well as testing.
If you need your order by a specific date, please message us before placing your order. If your order requires rush shipping, we will have to change the shipping costs, as well as make sure that the piece(s) can be created in time, pending on stock.
If you do need your order by a specific date, please do let me know when you order as I do not know otherwise an will just ship in the normal time frame.
Yes! They are nickel free!
Unfortunately no. For the O and D ring collars we can make them nickel free, but it costs extra as we have to use more expensive pieces. Unfortunately we have yet to find a supplier for the heart rings that make affordable nickel free hearts. As soon as we do have the option for them, it will be made available.

Since the major releases of BPMN 1.2 in 2009 and 2.0 in 2011, process modeling has matured and BPMN is critical to nearly every process discovery practice. By now, most people familiar with BPMN have heard of decision modeling notation (DMN) for business decision management (BDM); however, they might not know how to incorporate DMN into their process modeling practices. If your organization wishes to combine process modeling with decision modeling in BPMN/DMN, you will need to know the basics of decision modeling in DMN. In this webinar, we will describe the DMN basics and how it changes the old ways of process discovery in BPMN.
Using the Signavio Decision Manager, we will cover:
- The basics of Operational Decisions, including the important attributes
- The DMN pallet
- The logic modeling in decisions tables
- How to build decision models
- How to connect the models to processes
Attendees to the webinar will learn the basics of decision modeling using the Signavio decision modeler. The basics also include a dictionary of terms that can be connected to the decision model. Learn how to identify decision within the process model, detail the decision tables and identify sub-decisions. In addition, learn how to build decisions that direct processes in an optimal way.

Is this half of Morgan's CNN viewing audience?
Paul Joseph Watson
January 10, 2013
Piers Morgan tweeted a photograph of a "rally" of his supporters outside CNN center in Washington, DC, but whereas over 100,000 Americans signed a petition to deport the CNN host, the rally in support of Morgan was noticeably less popular.
Four people showed up.
Morgan re-tweeted the image with the message, "Supporters rally behind @piersmorgan w signs outside #CNN DC bureau."
Given that Morgan's CNN viewing figures are only slightly less abysmal than those of fellow gun control advocate Chris Matthews, one wonders whether this turnout amounts to half his audience.
One of the "supporters" is holding a sign that encourages CNN to give Morgan a raise, presumably upset at the paucity of the former Daily Mirror editor's $8 million dollar contract. Morgan got the prime time CNN gig despite being fired from the Mirror for printing a fake story and being embroiled in the phone hacking scandal.
Yesterday, the Obama administration defended Morgan's right to use his first amendment to trash the Constitution, completely oblivious of the fact that non-citizen foreign nationals do not have first amendment rights under legal precedent.
In a related story, a new White House petition demands that the FBI investigate Morgan and guests that appeared on his Tuesday night show after they joked about murdering radio host Alex Jones with a semi-automatic weapon.
During the show, author Buzz Bissinger remarked, "But what do you need a semi-automatic weapon for? The only reason I think you'd need it is, Piers, challenge Alex Jones to a boxing match, show up with a semi-automatic that you got legally and pop him."
"I'd love to see that," responded Huffington Post's Abby Huntsman, adding, "In uniform."
"I'll borrow my brother's uniform," Morgan responded.
In a separate comment, Bissinger creepily remarked that he didn't wish Alex Jones to get a 3am phone call telling him his kids had been murdered.
The petition cites Title 18, U.S.C., Section 241 in demanding a, "Federal Bureau of Investigation to undertake an investigation of Piers Morgan, Harry Gerard (Buzz) Bissinger, Abby Huntsman and CNN," for making death threats live on air.
Yesterday, Jones challenged Morgan to a second debate to be overseen by a moderator, but Morgan has thus far failed to respond.

Fitzroy Island is located near Cairns in Tropical North Queensland and is popular for daytrips due to its proximity to the coast. Fitzroy Island is a national park island with a small portion occupied by Fitzroy Island Resort.
Fitzroy has a steep mountain and two main walking trails that lead to beautiful lookouts. Sheoak, Indian Beech, Native Nutmeg, Tamarinds and Turpentine as well as native orchids are just a few examples of the exotic flora you'll find on bushwalks through the island.
Try the Secret Garden Walk for a short walk amongst the rainforest, or the Lighthouse and Summit Trail for a steep walk to the lighthouse for expansive views out to Little Fitzroy Island.
Fitzroy is almost completely surrounded by coral reef, making it an excellent place for snorkelling. The most popular spot is Nudey Beach, which is only about one kilometre from the resort.

WASHINGTON — In another setback for President Obama's health care initiative, the administration has delayed until 2015 a significant consumer protection in the law that limits how much people may have to spend on their own health care.
The limit on out-of-pocket costs, including deductibles and copayments, was not supposed to exceed $6,350 for an individual and $12,700 for a family. But under a little-noticed ruling, federal officials have granted a one-year grace period to some insurers, allowing them to set higher limits, or no limit at all, in 2014.
The grace period has been outlined on the Labor Department's website since February but was obscured in a maze of legal and bureaucratic language that went largely unnoticed. When asked in recent days about the language — which appeared as an answer to one of 137 "frequently asked questions about Affordable Care Act implementation" — department officials confirmed the policy.
The discovery is likely to fuel continuing Republican efforts this fall to discredit the president's health care law.
Under the policy, many group health plans will be able to maintain separate out-of-pocket limits for benefits in 2014. As a result, a consumer may be required to pay $6,350 for doctors' services and hospital care, and an additional $6,350 for prescription drugs under a plan administered by a pharmacy benefit manager.
Some consumers may have to pay even more, as some group health plans will not be required to impose any limit on out-of-pocket costs for drugs next year. If a drug plan does not currently have a limit on out-of-pocket costs, it will not have to impose one for 2014, officials said Monday.
The health law, signed more than three years ago by Obama, clearly established a single overall limit on out-of-pocket costs for each individual or family. But federal officials said that many insurers and employers needed more time to comply because they used separate companies to help administer major medical coverage and drug benefits, with separate limits on out-of-pocket costs. In many cases, the companies have separate computer systems that cannot communicate with one another.
A senior administration official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations, said: "We knew this was an important issue. We had to balance the interests of consumers with the concerns of health plan sponsors and carriers, which told us that their computer systems were not set up to aggregate all of a person's out-of-pocket costs. They asked for more time to comply."
Health plans are free to set out-of-pocket limits lower than the levels allowed by the administration. But many employers and health plans sought the grace period, saying they needed time to upgrade their computer systems. Benefit managers using different computer systems "often cannot keep track of all the out-of-pocket costs incurred by a particular individual," said Kathryn Wilber, a lawyer at the American Benefits Council, which represents many Fortune 500 companies that provide coverage to employees.
Last month the White House announced a one-year delay in enforcement of another major provision of the law, which requires larger employers to offer health coverage to full-time employees. Valerie Jarrett, Obama's senior adviser, said that the delay of that mandate showed "we are listening" to businesses, which had complained about the complexity of reporting requirements.

Now reopened at Oaksterdam University, 1734 Telegraph, Oakland CA 94612.
Call 510-251-1544 for the current hours of operation.
Welcome to the Oaksterdam Cannabis Museum website. The Museum has been a focus of the community in the heart of Oakland California since 2011, in the world famous Oaksterdam District. It has been the only US cannabis museum to have had regular hours open to the public and a living medical marijuana garden on display.
The Oaksterdam Raid of 2012
Oaksterdam University and Oaksterdam Museum, two premier, nationally renowned education institutions, harassed but undaunted by Federal discouragement and interference, are continuing our unified educational programs. Since the raids, viewing the museum garden has been available by special arrangement only.
The museum space was originally sponsored by Richard Lee, founder of Oaksterdam University and sponsor of California's Prop 19 initiative to legalize marijuana that lost by fewer than four percent. Lee also operated the Oakland city-licensed cannabis dispensary Blue Sky Coffeeshop. Along with his other business locations, the Oaksterdam Museum was raided by Obama administration officials April 2, 2012, its garden destroyed, and several exhibits damaged.
Both the university and museum are now situated at 1734 Telegraph Ave., and both institutions were formerly located at 1776 Broadway at 19th St. (home of the Prop 19 effort) and 1600 Broadway (site of the Oaksterdam Mural destroyed by vandals in 2012). If you are a visionary business person with the courage of your convictions and a belief in our system, please join us. We are looking for a commercial property owner, investment funders who wish to participate in this growing industry too, and for donors and volunteers to help us with our intern, docent and development strategies.

The Fresh Prince Returns in 2018 with a Lethal Freestyle
Hero1 posted a blog entry in Too Damn Hype!The Fresh Prince is back! Lost and Found dropped in 2005 but 13 years later the Fresh Prince - let's not forget Will is always an emcee at heart, has returned. Will had recorded this freestyle over the clique beat a couple of years ago. Jazzy Jeff had encouraged him to put it out there - Just drop it on YouTube Jeff said but Will was still too sensitive about his music and unsure of the response - so it remained in the vaults - until today. With Will's new found love of social media - he is now blazing trails across Instagram, Facebook and YouTube - he has dropped the killer freestyle and the world stood up and noticed. Will was trending on Twitter hours after it's release and was even getting love from the crowd that often clowned him - power97, worldstarhiphop, hiphopdx, and black radio - were all giving him his props. On Instagram celebrities and rappers such as Jermaine Dupri, Marlon Wayans, Wale, Martin Lawrence and more recognised the fire Will just dropped. Let's have a look at the rhymes and just see how dope Will's return was. That line right there was getting the most props. It's cold - and if you are talking about money - Will even has a billion dollar "Just Water" business now - there is no comparison to other rappers. The line is the cold hard truth. This is a great shoutout to James Avery from the Fresh Prince of Bel Air. He was an incredible actor and is still sorely missed and yes God is on Will's side. I don't think any movie stars ever had 7 100 million dollar blockbuster movies in a row. Every July 4th, every summer Will dropped a box office hit and it will provably never be repeated. This is important that he references the Fresh Prince. many kids today that were born post 2000 wouldn't know that Will was dropping rhymes in 1985 or sharing the stage with rap legends such as LL Cool J, Run DMC, Public Enemy, Whodini and EPMD. He rocked shows with Jazzy Jeff a good 30 plus years ago and that emcee - the fresh prince - has never left him - no matter how big he made it in the movies or with a classic TV sitcom. I think this was a perfect opportunity for him to address the divorce rumours on the mic. I'm sure he was sick of the constant tabloid reporting saying Jada and himself were divorced or divorcing when they wern't and here he has cold called them out. This is one of Will's best lines using the double meaning of the word features. Social Media loves taking a quote from Will and posting it on all these inspirational pages and blogs - Will recognised this and called it out. And Will caps it off with the recognition of his multi-talented family which as had a string of success in music, movies and television. The key take away from this rap from Will is that it shines a light on him as a legendary emcee and really is a stark contrast to modern rap and what is considered rap today. The mumble rappers are getting away with straight garbage but Will here has highlighted the importance of rapping clearly, using pauses and breaks to emphasise punch lines, injecting personality and inflections into his rhyming to give it character, and dropping bars that are both clever, thoughtful and sound great. The Fresh Prince is a true emcee - anyone who owns any of the Jazzy Jeff & Fresh Prince records knows this and his return to rap in 2018 couldn't have been at a better time. He just showed all the younguns how it's done.

Was Mick Jagger's fashion designer girlfriend in trouble? The Daily Mail reports that L'Wren's business may have been as much as $6 million in debt.
Scott was forced to cancel her show at London Fashion Week last month. At the time, she said it was because her fabrics didn't arrive in time. Now, sources say finances are to blame, claiming she simply couldn't afford it.
An insider also told the paper that Scott was suffering from depression and had just recovered from an incident of self-harm.

It was noted that the 49-year-old didn't join Mick, 70, on the Australian leg of his Rolling Stones tour because she wasn't well enough to travel.
Much is being said of L'Wren's social media posts as well. Days before her death, she posted a quote by photographer Bill Cunningham on Instagram, "Fashion is the armour to survive the reality of life."
Eerie posts continued to update on her accounts even after her death, apparently on timers. This picture of dresses hanging from trees was described as "beyond sad" by Facebook users. Her accounts have since been taken down.
[Credit: Facebook]
L'Wren reportedly hung herself with a scarf in her luxury Manhattan apartment, where she was found by her assistant on Monday morning.
Mick, who had been dating the 6' 4" former model since 2001, posted a touching tribute to Scott on Facebook. "I am still struggling to understand how my lover and best friend could end her life in this tragic way.
We spent many wonderful years together and had made a great life for ourselves. She had great presence and her talent was much admired, not least by me."
He continued, "I have been touched by the tributes that people have paid to her, and also the personal messages of support that I have received. I will never forget her, Mick."

I am shedding tears for all those martyred people who were slaughtered and killed. I hope G-d will avenge the blood that was shed and destroy the perpetrators of these evil deeds and extend His divine protection over the remnants of the people of Israel and lead them to Salvation.
The big beautiful synagogue, the big study center, the house of the late rabbi Samuel Gerstel, the house of the young rabbi Zeev Wolf Gerstel, the synagogue of the Belzer Hasidim, the synagogue of the late Rabbi Alter Eichstein, the Kaminker shul , the many Torah study centers where Jewish children studied Torah, the study room of Horev, the religious girls school of the Agudat Israel, the Hebrew day school, the slaughterhouse, the kosher butcher stores, the public bath house, the Mizrachi association, the Zionist association, the bikur cholim society (to visit sick people), the Lina society (to provide sleeping accommodation for needy people ),the mutual aid society, and the road leading to the forest or forests where the youth promenaded on Saturday afternoon and inhaled the fresh country air while admiring G-d's world.
As in other Polish cities, the Jews of Yartchev engaged in trade and conducted business. There were forest merchants; wood merchants; grain merchants; horse and cattle dealers; flax and leather merchants; grocery and store owners who sold all kinds of goods, such as material for coats and dresses, ribbons and threads for sewing; there were metal and leather stores, inns, and slaughterhouses. Geese dealers led their flocks to Lemberg; farmers and delivery men brought their goods from Lemberg; carriages transported goods and people to Lemberg; Yartchev residents headed for Borshewic (railway station) or Zadworshe (railway station) to travel to Lemberg or further (Yartchev did not have access to the railroad). There were many artisans in Yartchev: tailors, shoemakers, carpenters, rope makers, pot makers, bakers, locksmiths, pocketbook makers, tallit embroiderers, musicians, and vendors who sold sweets, cookies, chocolates, fruits, and vegetables in the market.
The city was always known as the residence of famous scholars. The most famous was the rabbi known as the head of the yeshiva. The Germans were unable to blast his tombstone. One hundred eighty years ago, the famous Raver scholar, the late Rabbi Shlomo Kaminker, lived and studied in Yartchev. Many wise stories and tales are ascribed to him, as told to me by my grandmother, Gittel. She was the sister of Rabbi Samuel Gerster, the daughter of Rabbi Mordechai Gerster who was the son-in-law of the Kaminker Rabbi. She was a pious and well-read woman. My late mother, Yente Gerstel, told me the stories of my grandparents and uncles, notably the story of the Kaminker Rabbi and later the Mozitzer Rabbi.
In the city of Rawa Russka, there lived a very rich person, a forest merchant. He lived in a big house with many rooms; expensive carpets covered the floors. He was called The Count and behaved like one. He had many servants and each day rode in his coach, pulled by two horses. The family had no children. One Yom Kippur eve, when all the worshippers left the study cheder after the services, he began to implore the Almighty to grant him children. He cried, begged and recited Psalms all night long and finally, exhausted, fell asleep. Suddenly, an old man appeared in his dream and told him that he was destined to continue this manner of life, but his lamentations had the desired effect. In his sleep he consented to the change and shortly thereafter his business declined rapidly. His wife gave birth to a son who would become the well-known Kaminker Rabbi and a daughter who would become my great-grandmother.
The brother-in-law of the Kaminker Rabbi was my great-grandfather, Rabbi Mordechai Gerstel, the very old rabbi of Yartchev. His father was Rabbi Samuel Gerstel. Rabbi Mordechai Gerstel had a sister, a very pious woman. Most of her grandchildren managed to escape the clutches of the Nazis. They are all in Brooklyn: Rabbi Dr. Moshe Blech; his brother, Rabbi Ben Zion Blech; and the youngest brother, Rabbi Tzvi Blech. The oldest grandson already has children who are rabbis and a daughter who is a professor at Columbia University.
After the demise of Rabbi Mordechai Gerstel, his son, Samuel Gerstel, became
the rabbi of Yartchev. He was nicknamed the Old Rabbi. His son, Rabbi Zeev Wolf
Gerstel, was called the Young Rabbi of Yartchev. He was also a scholar in
botany and astronomy in spite of his Hasidic appearance: he wore white pants
and socks in the tradition of Hasidic rabbis. Rabbi Samuel Gerstel also had
four daughters: Beile Gerstel, Blima
Blick, Sarah Rivka Katz and Sheva Gottesman, the wife of the late Rabbi Betzalel Gottesman.
Following World War I, Rabbi Zeev Wolf Gerstel moved to Lemberg and the rabbi of Yartchev became his brother-in-law, also the son-in-law of the old rabbi of Yartchev, Rabbi Betzalel Gottesman. Mr. Abraham Baum and the Yartchev society brought the rabbi to the United States, where he remained for several years. They supported him and hoped that he would remain in the country, but he refused to bring his family to the United States and returned to Yartchev, where he died shortly thereafter. His son, Rabbi Chaim Gottesman assumed the position of rabbi of Yartchev. For almost two hundred years, the Gerstel family provided rabbis to the town. The last rabbi, a grandson of the Old Rabbi, led about 2,000 Jews to the cemetery, where he recited confessions, and with the Shema on their lips they were shot on the 9th and 10th day of the month of Shvat, Tashag (1943).
The extent of religious piety and Hasidic life can best be described by the fact that the mailman of Yartchev, an employee of the Austrian Imperial Postal System, had a long beard and side curls and wore a shtreimel (special fur hat worn by Hasidim) on Saturday, just like the other Hasidic Jews. His name was Yaacov Baum. His son, Avraham Baum, came to the United States and was very involved in the Yartchev society. He helped publish this memorial book. Mr. Avraham Baum tried very hard to bring me to the United States. With the assistance of Max Reiser from Baltimore I was finally brought from Vienna to the United States before the Nazis closed the gates.
Yartchev had a few Jewish representatives who spoke with the central authorities on behalf of their community. These representatives were all deeply religious Jews and sat on the committees with non-Jewish representatives. Prior to World War I, the mayor of Yartchev was my uncle, Itzhak (Itche) Blick, the Old Rabbi's son-in-law. He was a scholar and a pious Jew. He managed the city quite well and installed lights in the market; these lit the entire city of Yartchev. Yartchev also had a large society of bikur cholim, whose members visited the sick and helped with their basic needs. There was also a Lina society, whose members would sleep in the houses of the sick and help them if they were alone. All of these undertakings were performed as good deeds or mitzvot . Yartchev had a mutual aid society that extended interest-free loans and enabled repayment over long periods of time, so as to enable the needy to survive the bad times. Former Yartchev residents supported this fund and thus helped their brothers and sisters in the old country. Mr. Abraham Baum and the Yartchev Relief Society received many thank you letters and notes from people who borrowed from the fund. They also received many thank you letters for their financial support from the Torah study center, Horev, and from the religious girls' school of the Agudat Israel.
Each year, on Lag B'Omer (thirty-third day in the counting of the omer ), the study cycle of the Talmud finished. Scholars with large foreheads and sharp eyes assembled on that day in the synagogue to hear the final lines of their study program, whereupon, a big celebration was held with speeches, lectures, and Hasidic tunes. Yartchev also had a large Zionist association. Following World War I, the younger members studied Hebrew. They prepared themselves for emigration to Palestine. Many of the younger Jews also left for the United States, where they managed to establish themselves.
As in other Polish cities, there was no lack of poor Jews. Jews gave charity to help the poor ones survive until market day. Every Wednesday was market day, and the poor Jews would congregate in the market and beg charity. Some of these were invited to homes for the Sabbath meals. Every poor Jew was assigned to a home so that he would have a meal. Those that didn't have a place went to the house of the Old Rabbi. Very often there were several guests at my grandfather's tablethe more the merrier. These people were not called beggars or schnorers, but Sabbath guests.
Every Wednesday was market day, and several times a year there large fairs that attracted Ukrainian and Polish farmers who came to town to buy goods: leather, metal pots, axes, pails, plows, nails, materials for shirts, dresses, and ribbons. The farmers sold cows, bulls, horses, chickens, wood, and many kinds of grain, vegetables, potatoes, and various fruits. Jews bought and sold and earned their livelihood from the market and the fairs. Late in the day, especially on summer days when the farmers left town and the dust from their carriages settled, one could see Jews with long black beards and side curls, dressed in long caftans or overcoats and large black velvet hats, rushing to the synagogue, study center, or small place of worship. [One could see] young boys with their velvet kippot and side curls, adorable little Moshes, Shlomos, and Avrahams with beautiful big eyes following their mothers or grandfathers who headed to the synagogue to offers thanks to the Almighty and to ask Him for health, income, deliverance and the reconstruction of Jerusalem. Women sat on the porches or on wooden benches in front of their homes or stores and inhaled the fresh air blowing from the forest while exchanging stories about good deeds performed by rabbis. They also exchanged some local gossip about families with problems, bright children in town, girls about to be engaged and the weddings to follow, children who did not excel in their studies, and so forth. Beautiful young maidens walked quietly and took in the scene, lowering their eyes when they met young men; glances were exchanged and eyes continued to follow each other. Sometimes, greetings were even exchanged. In the study centers, as described by Chaim Nachman Bialik (Hebrew and Yiddish poet), young scholars sat and studied while chanting the particular tune used in the study of the Talmud, Thus said rebbe ... Others secretly read the Hebrew papers Hatzfira and Hamatzpe . The students, pale and dreamy-eyed, faced big Talmud books and tried to answer difficult questions posed by the Rambam (Maimonides).
All this stopped with the arrival of the Sabbath or a holiday. The town assumed a completely different atmosphere. All the stores were closed, and in all the windows there were lights, the reflections of candlesin short, lights everywhere. Jews with patriarchal faces, dressed in black satin caftans and wearing shtreimels (fur hats) on their heads, rushed to the synagogue. Children with velvet caps or hats, dressed in their best Saturday clothing, their payot (side curls) curled, clutching in their hands their sidurim (prayer books) went to the synagogue to greet the Sabbath Queen (allusion to the Sabbath). Here they sang Lecha Dodi (song dedicated to the arrival of the Sabbath).
All this changed with the arrival of the High Holy Days. Entire families from the nearby villages came to spend the holiday in town. Jews greeted each other with the famous blessing: A Healthy New Year. The fear of Yom Kippur was on everybody's mind. Jews began to forgive each other and desisted from expressing sharp opinions or strong personal feelings. Each person rushed to the synagogue to pray and beg for the fulfillment of his wishes. Who can forget Kol Nidrei night in Yartchev? The synagogue was packed with people dressed in kittels (white robes), white kippot on their heads, wrapped in their big talitot . The place was lit by hundreds of candles that reflected the saintly faces of the Jews. Amongst them was my grandfather dressed in white, the kittel and the large talit with its big ornamental fringe. He cried on the way to the synagogue and then preached to the congregants while holding the Scroll in his hands. Finally, he shouted the line that begins the Kol Nidrei service, Or Zaruah . All the congregants shed tears, especially the women. Jews prayed to the Almighty for forgiveness, life, income, spiritual uplifting, positive influences on the children, good marriages, and the speedy arrival of the Messiah.
Jews could be happy without theaters or movies, which didn't exist in Yartchev. They enjoyed the cantor, Yokel, who chanted their prayers, or the young rabbi who blessed the lunar month, or the singing on the way to the Tashlich service (casting the sins upon the water). Young married scholars, supported by their families, continued their studies of the Jewish past and the difficult questions that arose in the study of halacha (Jewish religious legal codes). These men escorted the rabbi when he entered Grevlie Street, which led to the river where the rabbi cast his sins while those in the entourage sang and were merry.
Among the students who studied at the Yartchev synagogue was the future chief rabbi of Lemberg, Rabbi Dr. Shmuel Gottesman. He would later tell me, I was in your grandfather's study center and studied under him. Another famous student who studied there was my cousin, Moshe Gerstel .He was a grandson of the Old Rabbi, the son of Mordechai Gerstel. He became a famous architect in Haifa, Israel. He designed the shopping center of the Hadar Carmel neighborhood in Haifa, the nicest shopping center in the Middle East.
The joy of the Jew was at its height when he participated with the rabbi in the dancing of the Simchat Torah holiday. The teacher Hersali entertained the congregants who were a bit intoxicated, since they had already had a few drinks and tasted some of the baked goods. This holiday marked the end of the High Holy Day season and the Jews felt comfortable with all the mitzvot that they had performed during the month of Tishri. So many mitzvot were performed: the blowing of the shofar, the fasting and asking for forgiveness on Yom Kippur, the sitting in the sukkah, the blessing of the lulav and finally the reading of the last section of the Torah. The Jews were overjoyed with Simchat Torah and they expressed it by dancing and singing, especially the Hasidim. The festivities reached a high point at the synagogue of Rabbi Alter Eichenstein. Some of the grandchildren of Rabbi Abele, brother of the Old Rabbi of Yartchev, managed to survive and live in New York; they are Rabbi Dr. Moshe Blech and his brother. A grandson of Rabbi Alter Eichenstein also survived and resides in New York. His name is Rabbi Elimelech Horowitz.
Jews offered thanks and praise to the Almighty and Creator of the universe. They sang the famous Hasidic song, Ha'aderet v'haemunah (praising the faith): To whom? To whom? To the Eternal One. The understanding and the blessing, to whom? To whom? To the Eternal One. Every Saturday afternoon, at the shalosh seudah meal (third meal of the day, held in the synagogue or in the study center), the Jew sat and listened to spiritual matters that uplifted him. He sang praises to the Lord and escorted the Sabbath out with song and joy while partaking of drinks and snacks. With the exit of the Sabbath, the Jew went home and lit a special candle and sat down to a small meal consisting of borscht and potatoes or herring and vodka. He was happy and joyful with the departure of the Sabbath, which gave him fortitude to withstand all the pressures that the Polish anti-Semites created to deprive him of his livelihood, such as great increases in taxes. The Sabbath songs strengthened the Jew to face daily problems and to look forward to a better world: Siman tov und mazal tov, yehei lanu u lekol Yisrael, amen " (loosely translated: we and all of Israel should have a good omen and good luck, amen); David Melech Yisrael Hai vekayam (King David of Israel is alive and well, a reference to the Jewish people);"G-d said to Jacob, 'fear no one but me.'" [There were] songs about the Prophet Eliyahu, who took a poor Hasid and made him into a rich person in one night; the pauper became a wealthy man who devoted himself to serving G-d without needing to worry about daily necessities. The good old prophet and the Messiah of the house of David will soon lead us to our salvation; Eliyahu, please come and bring with you the Messiah so that we can be redeemed. (These were typical Sabbath songs).
Throughout the year, when an engagement, wedding, circumcision or party celebrating the first-born took place, the Jew of the Polish shtetl really celebrated. The huppa, (canopied ceremony) took place in front of the synagogue at night. The bride and groom were escorted from their respective homes by crowds of people who danced, sang and made merry. The people lit candles and placed them in the windows. The throng of spectators carried candles, the jesters told their lines, and the musicians, reinforced by well-known bands from Premishlan, played music. The youngsters were happy and the less religious crowd participated by singing songs, such as The Huppa " by Meir Hartner. Standing there before the synagogue, the group was performing good deeds: so many boys and girls carrying on, laughing, and mingling. Suddenly voices urged, Silence! Silence! Things are moving. Sha! Sha! Forward musicians of the first order: fiddler Moshe Rimfel, Haim Yekil on the cello, Beryl with the cymbals, Snat Avramel with the drum, Yona with the tambourines, Walt Tremeiter give a honk. The music is moving through the streets Tam Tram Tram Tam Tam...Ta Ta Ta. (This is a loose translation).
Religious Jews participated in the wedding by dancing the Mitzvah Dance. The dancer and the bride would hold a handkerchief while dancing, so as not to touch each other. The crowd danced, sang, and chanted popular songs and special religious songs such as: The first preference, the first preference have Jews because... Who was to know that all these happy Jews would be killed solely because they were Jews?
Fifty years ago, some Jews in Yartchev saw little hope and decided to leave for America. Later, they brought their relatives to this country. Soon they created a Yartchev Young Men's Association to help the new immigrants from their town, to provide assistance to relatives who wanted to come, and to help relatives in Yartchev. Yartchev became poorer as a result of World War I. Polish and German anti-Semitism created a generation of Jew-haters, and university students, officials, and farmers began to discriminate against the Jews. The latter were beaten in the streets, their beards were frequently shaved, Jewish stores were boycotted, and so forth. The story of Pszytic (a modern pogrom) repeated itself in many places. The Jew-haters, the followers of General Haller, manhandled Jews on the trains and in public places and prevented people from buying in Jewish stores. Many public buildings and places had big signs saying, Hit the Jew. The Polish, Ukrainian and Rumanian Jew-haters cooperated with their German counterparts. They tried to imitate the German Nazis, and published all the hate in the local press. The Poles wanted to ban the ritual slaughter of animals to prevent Jews from eating meat. It took a great deal of effort to postpone implementation of the law. They wanted to destroy the Jews and divide their goods. The Germans and Poles only thought of ways to kill the Jews and deprive them of their goods.
Young Jews began to emigrate. Some went to the United States and some organized themselves in Zionist organizations with the intention of leaving for Palestine. Even the religious youth organized itself in Mizrachi Hatzair or Hashomer Hadati and the very religious Agudat Israel had a youth group ready to go to Palestine. Unfortunately, a small fractiona very small fractionmanaged to leave Poland. The entire Polish Jewry, the bulk of the Jewish population, remained in Poland. In large and small cities, Jews continued to live as though nothing happened. The Jewish politicians did not see the German danger. They did not foresee the forging of a unification of German nationalism and Polish anti-Semitism aimed at the Jews. The air was being polluted with anti-Jewish poison. Jewish politicians lulled themselves into a false sense of security and hoped that things would blow over.
When the sadistic Austrian room painter became German chancellor in 1933 and became the leader of a nation of murderers and executioners, the situation of the German Jewish community became very precarious. The Germans issued decrees, the Nuremberg Laws, aimed at the Jews. Thousands were sent to the various concentration camps, many were deprived of their property, and others left Germany as quickly as they could. The Germans constantly wrote in newspapers and in books that they would destroy the Jews. Their speeches stated that they would kill all the Jews, erase every trace of Jewish life, and convert Germany into a Judenrein nation. This aim was also to be exported to the world. They said that Haman (in the Purim story) had tried to kill the Jews but that they would finish the job. This intention was constantly repeated in the German press. The youth and the university students constantly paraded in the streets and sang songs stating that the day would come when Jewish blood would drip from their knives and that this would cause great joy in the heart of the German nation. Not only did the Germans plan to rob the property of the Jews but these "lower-beasts"(I call the Germans lower beasts since I don't want to insult the four-legged creatures that attack only when hungry) also planned to rob Jews everywhere of their goods. Every day thousands of Germans paraded and sang songs stating, We will march in rows and everything will tremble; today Germany belongs to us and tomorrow the world. Frequently, I ran from the streets of Vienna in 1938 and sought refuge when I heard the parade approaching and the songs about dripping Jewish blood and world domination.
The big nations, such as England and France, as well as smaller nations read the German press and Hitler's book Mein Kampf . Their representatives in Germany reported to them concerning the German scene. All the nations thought that Germany was interested only in the Jews and their property. At most, they were willing to grant Germany the Sudaten region, a piece of Czechoslovakia. If, however, Germany was interested in war, it could mean one thing: an attack on Russia. This did not bother most of the nations. They were rather pleased with the job that the Germans were doing on the Jews and some even hoped that the Germans would carry out their preaching. The Poles began a vicious attack against the Jews that resulted in Jews being beaten in the streets of Poland. We Jews warned the big nations that the Germans were interested not only in killing Jews but that they also were aiming at war.
In the summer of 1936, the League of Nations met in Geneva, Switzerland. A German Jewish refugee, a Mr. Lukas, committed suicide in the big convention hall. All the papers reported the event and knew the reason for the act of desperation. He saw that nobody was trying to stop Hitler; on the contrary, everybody sacrificed the Jews and let him do whatever he wanted. Mr. Lukas was buried in a small cemetery and the Jewish correspondent, A. Halpern, writing for The American, wrote a column entitled "Grave Number 236," in which he described the rabbi's eulogy. The rabbi said, You journalists can stop these outrages, you have the means to reach public opinion, what are you waiting for? But the world was not disturbed. I personally wrote to a German newspaper and called the attention of the politicians to an important book that was published by a major Austrian Jewish official, Yona Krepel (who was later shot). The book, The 12th Hour, described the forthcoming dangers and I pointed them out, but I was ignored.
Thousands of Jews fled to East Galicia (part of Poland not then occupied by the Germans) with empty hands. They ran on foot through forests and plains until they reached Lemberg and Yartchev. Thousands of Jews came to this area from very distant small towns. According to a secret agreement signed between Germany and Russia, Lemberg was to be occupied by the Russian forces on September 17 th , 1939; Yartchev was also included in this zone. Life became very difficult. Russia began to prepare for war and took away many Jews. Inflation was rampant, and food became very expensive. The Jews accepted the difficulties, thinking that the worst was over: they were saved from German occupation. Thus they hoped for the best. But this illusion was soon destroyed.
The Jews of the Yartchev ghetto lived in a living hell. The Germans shot, hacked, and knifed Jews to death. When the Germans entered the city in 1941,they detained the following Jews: Avraham Indik, Itzhak Lewenberg, Yossef [Yoshe ] Kreiner, Itzhak Weissman, Israel Binstein, Abele Hochberg, Yossef (Yoshe) Shorr, David Peah, Israel from Podlisk (Feivel's son ), a Jew from Vienna, and three recent arrivals. They were taken to Remaniv, where they joined another party of 30 Jewish men, women and children. All of them were now driven to a big farm in Remaniv. Here some were thrown into the waste pit while others were hacked to death and then thrown into the waste pit, which was eventually covered with sand, and all the injured Jews were asphyxiated. Later, they started to burn the synagogue and the study center of Yartchev. A Ukrainian brought a drum of gasoline and spread the liquid over the holy places. The flames devoured the synagogue and the study center. These holy places, where Jews daily prayed and implored their G-d, went up in smoke.
A few days later, the Ukrainians discovered that the ornaments of the Torah scrolls were hidden in the home of Reb Alter, the melamed (the teacher). They went to his house and took a silver Torah crown and put it on his head. Another crown was put on the head of a Jew of Radinetz. They were forced to march through the streets of Yartchev singing and dancing. Eventually their beards were torn from their faces and they died as a result of the wounds that they sustained. Shortly thereafter, the Germans rounded up 100 Jews for work and sent them to a labor camp. Reuven Fehler describes this camp in his letter. He worked on the streets of Lemberg leading to Yartchev and then to Brody. The name of the German organization was Todt. He received 70 grams of bread a day and half a liter of water. The SS and the Ukrainians beat Jews daily. Many died or were killed in this camp. This was the situation of the camp in 1941.
During Passover 1942, a few Jews met in Yaacov Druker's home to pray. They began the first day holiday service, whereupon two SS men and some Ukrainians burst into the place and found Itzhak Baum, the talit embroiderer, reading the Torah. They ordered him to remain standing while they burned his beard. Their fury increased when he did not utter a sound. The other Jews in the room were beaten and some were even murdered. Few Jews made it out alive. During the holiday of Shavuot, 1942, the Judenrat of Yartchev received an order to send all the elderly Jews out of the ghetto. They were to be sent to be burned. The first to be sent was Shragai Feivel Blick with his talit and phylacteries. The second was Beile Yente Blick, related to the Firs, [and then] Yaacov Hitz; Hersh Kimmel and his wife; their sons and wives; Idel Lewenberg and his daughter; Rachel Shpatz and her daughter; Ethel Karfil; Golda Haitches; Avraham Weissman; Yente Fleher; Zalman, the mute shoemaker; and Avraham Hersh Shteiner. These and many more were taken in the direction of Lemberg and burnt alive somewhere along the road. Then the murderers decided to tackle the old cemetery of Yartchev. The Jews were forced to uproot the tombstones and pave the streets with them. All the tombstones were uprooted except the one for the head of the yeshiva. This tombstone remained erect in spite of the attempt to blast it with dynamite. The stone was finally hoisted from the ground and placed on the bridge of the village of Baninen. Yeshai (Yeshayahu) Ber Klihiner was kicked to death by a German. He started kicking him in the stomach and did not stop until he was dead.
On the ninth day of Shvat, the 15th of January, 1943, Doctor Melnik of Podlisk,
may his name be erased, and the German murderer Shtarnebel, mayor of Yartchev,
may his name also be erased forever, gave the order to kill the Jews of the
ghetto. The ninth day of the month of Shvat was very cold and frosty. The
Germans decided to drive the Jews out of the ghetto. About 2,500 Jewish men,
women and children were driven to the forest. Some managed to hide in special
hiding places but most were driven out of their places. The Germans and the
Ukrainians searched every place. Sick people and small infants were driven out
into the bitter cold. The day was Friday, at 9 AM. About 2,500 Jews started to
march to the forest. Along the road they were split into two groups. One group
continued to march to the forest while the other group was led to the cemetery.
Many sick people and children died during the forced march while others were
shot, stabbed, or knifed to death. The white snow became tinted with blood. The
road to the forest where young Jews used to promenade and hum tunes was the
scene of the mass murder. Here were hacked to death many men, women and
children, among them Moshe Ger, Meir, Shmuel, Wolf the glazier, Mendel Kahane,
and others. Blood and more blood was everywhere, pure innocent blood of small
children, Moshelech, Schlomelech, Saralech, Rivekalech and more. The desperate
cries for help were heartbreaking, but to no avail. All the Jews in the forest
were shot.
Later, the murderers began to search the hiding places of the Jews in the ghetto and in the forests. All the Jews who were discovered were tortured and then shot. Only a few young people managed to escape and survive, among them Reuven Feler who described everything that took place in the community. His testimony and the one by Rabbi Katz were the basis for this book. The murderers caught Moshe Yaacov (Yankil) Meizel, his wife, and their daughters with their husbands. They fired several bullets at Moshe Yaacov but no bullet hit him. An SS man took his pistol and fired point blank at Moshe Yaacov, who fell saying the Shema. Keile Feler, the mother of Reuven Feler, and her son-in-law Shiya Mimelman and his children were hung. The mass execution took two days, the ninth and the tenth day in the month of Shvat. On the sixteenth day of Shvat, the Germans broke into a hiding place that contained Haim Ker, Mendel Kimmel, Moshe Yaacov (Yakel) Kerner, and some wives and children. There were 33 people in the hiding place. A Ukrainian had revealed the hiding place to the Germans. All the Jews were shot at the cemetery. Nine weeks later another hiding place was discovered. Those hidden there were Mrs. Kimmel and her children. The mother and her daughters were shot; the son managed to escape and survive the war. When the Russian front neared Yartchev, the Germans did not want the Russians to see so many dead people in the forest and at the cemetery. They ordered the local authorities to bring the bones and limbs that were scattered over the area to one place and burn them.
There are no more Jews in Yartchev. There is no sign that a Jewish community existed in this town. Everything is destroyed. Even the cemetery was destroyed. Every tombstone was uprooted. The murderers destroyed everything in Yartchev. We bemoan the fate of our brothers and sisters in Yartchev and the six million saints that were murdered. For those we shed our tears.
With the first publication of the news of the destruction of European Jewry, many groups organized themselves in New York to help the remnants of that community. The Young Men's Relief Society of Yartchev also organized a special relief society, consisting of:Let the people of Israel remember their martyrs.
Let the people remember the bitterness of the exile.
Let the people of Israel remember the heroes of Israel.
The objective of the relief committee was to help the survivors of the Shoah erect a monument to the martyrs who were so brutally killed and not even buried, and to publish a yizkor book describing the Jewish community of Yartchev so that future generations would have a record of what transpired and how the community ended. The book would also contain the names of the Jewish martyrs and serve as a living memorial to the Jews who were never properly buried.Abraham Baum, Chairman

For two thousand years, Jews moved from place to place, never accepted, always
despised and persecuted, beaten, and exiled. No day passed without some threat
or problem, no hour without evil things in the making and no minute without
some plague. But what occurred in our times never happened since creation and
was never done to a nation. The German murderers killed about six million Jews,
a third of the Jewish people. Presently, even the bitter Diaspora is over:
there is no more Jewish life in Poland.
Unfortunately, this small yizkor book, like other yizkor books or journals, serves as a living testimony to future generations. We must draw the bitter inferences of the exile: what nations can do to other nations and how low nations can sink spiritually. Israel must remember the martyrs; the Jewish nation must remember the slaughter of the six million Jews, our brothers and sisters, murdered so tragically. The Jews must remember the bitterness of the exile; each Jew must remember the meaning of the exile, the meaning of statelessness or the lack of government. Unfortunately, we Jews tend to forget easily the problems of the exile. In the desert of Sinai we forgot the problems that we faced when we were slaves in Egypt and kept talking about the good old days we had there. The fact that they drowned Jewish children was not remembered.
The holy Torah tells us, Remember what Amalek did to you. Many mitzvot and other good deeds are based on our exodus from Egypt. Regarding this event, the Torah says, Remember the days between the generations, an allusion to the need to repeat the exit from Egypt in each generation. The prophet Micah also begs us to remember what the king of Moab urged Belem to do and what the latter answered: "What I did from Shitim to Galgal was to show G-d's righteousness." We must remember all our enemies. Amalek and his great son, Haman wanted to kill all the Jews. The second enemy, Balak, said: Go and curse this nation (the Jews)." Jew-haters always schemed or accused Jews of doing evil things to their neighbors in order to incite them to action against the Jews. All enemies of the Jewish people created libels directed at the Jews, from Apian in Egypt to the ritual murders and the Protocols of Zion in modern times. All these accusations, in the spirit of Balak, curse the Jews. But Balak also advised Jews to assimilate, to visit entertainment places with beautiful women, to be invited to the homes of their neighbors and, most important, to mingle with the surrounding population in order to become part of the total population.
We must remember all our enemies. We cannot accept the premise that once we behave like other people we will be totally integrated. Remember, Israel, this is a very serious commitment; assimilation will not eliminate the hatred. The prophet Jeremiah lamented: "Your tragedy (Jewish) is as vast as the sea and who will heal it..." Rabbi Yaacov Itzhak Rheines comments that it is difficult to heal the Jewish tragedy, which is similar to a sea disaster. When a city is destroyed or devastated by an earthquake, the signs remain for a long period of time. At sea, however, no trace remains of a disaster. Within minutes, everything disappears. Unfortunately, great tragedies that afflicted the Jewish people are soon forgotten. This is the reason we must record the events that took place in our lifetime so that a recorded living memorial exists for eternity. This small yizkor book, like other yizkor books or journals, serves as living testimony to future generations. We must draw the bitter inferences of the exile: what nations can do to other nations and how low nations can sink spiritually.
While we resided in exile we thought we had another Jerusalem; this was the cause of our sin. Thus writes the famous Yaacov Amdin in his introduction to the prayer book of Rabbi Javitz. We thought that we had another Jerusalem while living in exile, and this is the cause of all evils that afflict the Jewish people. Furthermore, listen to me brothers and sisters who reside in exile, remember G-d and the holy city of Jerusalem. Try not to make plans to remain in foreign countries, since an attachment develops and it weakens the desire to return to the homeland. This was the sin of ancestors who refused to return to Israel and it caused great pain and suffering to generations of Jewish people. In Spain, Jews lived a beautiful and prosperous life, as they did in other countries, and then they barely escaped with their lives.
Our sages say that G-d said to Yitzhak: "If the Jewish people had earned the merit, the Torah would have started with the letter T (Tav), but it did not." Apparently, the Jewish people did not have the necessary merit, for even after the expulsion of Spain they did not go to Palestine where they could have started to rebuild the country. Jewish moguls like Baron Rothschild or Gootman or magnates of the caliber of Brodsky or Wissotsky could have helped the country financially, so that with the proclamation of the Balfour Declaration there would have been a large Jewish population. The population might have grown to about three million Jews, but this was not to be. Still we implore the Almighty to protect us from all the evil schemers; He should have mercy on His people. Let Israel remember the exile. Remember what the Amaleks and the Jew-haters did to the Jews. According to the sages, G-d said to Moses, Write it down in the Torah, for unrecorded events disappear in history. Let Israel remember the heroes of the land of Israel. Let the people remember the heroes who sacrificed themselves for the Jewish nation, for a free Jewish land in Israel. We all have to remember to assist in every possible manner the struggle for a Jewish homeland based on the principles of the Torah.
Let Edom and Ishmael remember the second yizkor . They and all the other Jew-haters should remember from the pages of history that nations that start with the Jewish people pay the consequences. We Jews believe in the sanctity of the Torah and the Prophets. As the Prophet Jeremiah says: "Israel is holy to G-d and all detractors will pay for their deeds." Let all the Jew-haters remember that those who intend to inflict harm or pain to our people will be punished by G-d. The Germans are already beginning to pay for their deeds and more is in store for them and their deeds. Let Edom, Ishmael and other Jew-haters stop their plans to harm the Jewish people. Let them permit the establishment of a Jewish state and let them leave the Jews in all countries to live their full lives in peace.
There, before your throne, let all the souls intervene on behalf of the survivors in order to strengthen them in rebuilding their shattered Jewish lives and homes as well as to enable all of us to help build the Holy Land. And the Rock of Israel will help free the people of Israel and will send us a special messenger who will deliver the people of Israel, and the Kingdom of Israel will arise again.
The third day of the week, the 20th day in the month of Tammuz, Tashah (1948), reading the Torah section of Pinhas. Quote:" No religious community shall remain without the Shepherd." The author, Rabbi Dr. Mordechai Gerstel, son of Rabbi Meir Gerstel, grandson of Rabbi Shmuel Gerstel of Yartchev, writes the story with tears in his eyes and hopes for salvation.
Rabbi Mordechai Gerstel, 2376 Ryer Avenue, Bronx 57, New York
Heavenly father, residing in Your distant realm, please care gently for the saintly communities that sacrificed themselves for You and the saintly souls that were killed, butchered, slaughtered, and burned since we left the homeland, and all the souls of the six million Jews who were the sons of Abraham, Yitzchak and Yaacov, killed, slaughtered, burned, asphyxiated, and wiped out by a hail of bullets, and the souls of the just and the pious that are close to You. Remember them and all the other saints who sacrificed themselves for You. Avenge the innocent blood that was spilled and direct Your anger at the murderers and their helpers who ignored Your divine protection of the Jewish people. Judge and punish them for the evil things that they did to Your people.
May it be Thy will, Lord our G-d, to have pity on us and the people of Israel. Assemble all the dispersed and direct our hearts and minds to serve You and the creatures of the universe to love the people who perform good deeds. Give us strength and cure us of the ills of the exile and help us for Your sake. Bless all the soldiers who day and night are guarding the holy country against the enemies. Please have mercy, assemble the rejected ones, lead us to the Holy Land, and help us build the country and the temple in Jerusalem. There we will study the Torah, the good deeds of loving and helping people, and the ways of bringing people and nations together. And, Oh Lord, grant therefore glory to Thy people, bring joy to the land and gladness to the country, cause all the wicked people to vanish like smoke in the air, and remove the evil dominion from the face of the earth. No nation shall fight nation. Grant peace and well-being; bless and bestow loving-kindness and mercy unto us and all the nations that respect and defend us. Cast a net of peace upon us and all the nations of the world. And You alone will reign over Mount Zion, the dwelling place of Thy glory, and Jerusalem, Thy holy city, as it is written in the Holy Scriptures: "The Lord shall reign forever, Thy G-d, Oh Zion, shall be sovereign unto all nations. And the Lord will rule over the land and that day G-d will be One and His name Unique. Amen
And these are the names of Jewish people in the city of Yartchev and the surrounding areas who were killed, slaughtered, burned, and asphyxiated on the ninth day of Shvat, when the Torah portion of Ba is read, and on the holy Shabbat, the tenth of Shvat, Tashag (1943). When G-d will order the Resurrection, He will instruct the appropriate angel to account for all the pious, the just, and the converts who died in His name.
