Celebrating the Sabbath in Darkness
December 20, 2013
Every week, Jody Hirsh, the JCC's Judaic Education Director, provides a Judaic message that is featured at the top of the JCC's weekly email newsletter. Below is the Shabbat message for Friday, December 20, 2013.
Celebrating the Sabbath in Darkness
The Karaites were a group of Jews who broke away from traditional Judaism in the 7th Century. They rejected Rabbinic Law and claimed that the written Torah was to be interpreted strictly without the commentaries or interpretations of the rabbis. One example is the way they understood Exodus 35:3 – "You shall not burn any fire in any of your dwelling places on the Sabbath Day." The common traditional understanding of that commandment is that you are forbidden to light a fire on the Sabbath, but if you light a fire before sundown on Friday night, it can burn indefinitely. (In traditional homes, the Sabbath candles are lit before sundown, after all.) The Karaites, however, believed that the commandment meant that no fire was to be left burning on the Sabbath, so... they extinguished all fires before sundown on Friday nights! This was particularly inconvenient in the cold winters of Lithuania, which was a large center of Karaite life before WWII. There, they were known by their neighbors as "The People Who Celebrate their Sabbath in Darkness."
There are still about 30,000 Karaites in the world. The two largest centers of Karaite life are Ashdod, Israel, and Foster City, California!

Shabbat Shalom!

Alabama Rig is today's rage for catching fish but not legal in California
Some call it the "Alabama Rig." Others call it an "Umbrella Harness." Whatever you call it, it can be a devastating way to attract and catch fish.
Being called the Alabama Rig, it must have been "invented" there. However, what is a legal method to fish in Alabama doesn't mean it's legal in California.
I prefer to call it an Umbrella Harness. Take the cover off an umbrella and you're left with the handle and numerous ribs. That more closely describes this rig.
When I recently went to Rocklin's Sportsmen's Warehouse and asked for an Umbrella Harness, a sales associate knew what I was referring to and directed me to the rack.
At the harness top is a lure head trailed by five steel wire arms. At the end of each arm is a snap to attach a lure. You spread the five wires as you prefer them and, with five lures attached, you can cast-retrieve bass. What they see appears to be a school of bait fish.
But, therein lay the legal problem in California, where you're allowed to use no more than three hooks at a time. You can put a lure on the other two arms, but it can only be a teaser. No hooks. And, you run the risk of a fish grabbing the teaser and not the hook.
It may be difficult to find, but I've heard somebody developed a "Cali-rig," containing three wire legs instead of five.
The rig was invented for use by bass anglers, and I suspect a California-legal Alabama Rig also would be effective for trout trolling. I'm going to give it the old college try when we return to Lake Almanor soon.
The major forage fish at Lake Almanor is Japanese Pond Smelt and, if you have a decent scope, you'll see massive schools. Almost always, you'll see game fish within easy chomping range.
That's the same theory for using the Alabama Rig while trolling. Two hookless teasers and three hooks would appear as a small school of bait fish and hopefully attract a bite.
Stay tuned.
Current fishing
It's that time of year when the weather is unstable. We've had temperatures ranging near 100 degrees, followed by a big cooling with scattered rain in low elevation, better rainfall in the mountains and even snow at the high elevation.
The weather is a yo-yo, but it's comfortable to be out fishing before hot summer temperature hits.
Salmon: The bite has been good, but the main stopper has been the wind. If you have the landlubber's stomach, the conditions haven't been the most ideal. It has been bouncy.
The San Francisco Bay fleet, venturing under the Golden Gate for the open water of the Pacific, has found a phenomenal bite with anywhere from a fish and a half per rod to full limits for everybody aboard. One bite was within five miles of Seal Rock, a short run as salmon fishing goes. Many of those Chinooks were in the 20-pound class.
The salmon bite also has been tremendous at Bodega Bay. It's too bad every fish hooked doesn't make it into the net. If that were the case, limits would be the rule. Out of 45 hooked one day by 16 anglers on Rick Power's New Sea Angler, 25 found their way into the net.
Pat Heaviside of the "Bragg-N," a 32-foot Boston Whaler, told me everybody on board limited in about three hours, and he even added a limit for himself. Several boats are limiting so quickly they get back in port, offload the salmon, change rigs and head back out to grab a quick load of rock cod.
Folsom Lake: If you have any hope of fishing, you're going to have to be there at the crack of dawn. Recreational boaters generally take over the lake by 9 a.m. If you do arrive at almost oh-dark-thirty, you can get into a decent bass bite.
Some largemouths are still on their beds while spots and smallies are being found deeper. Senkos and even reaction baits can get you bit. In the deeper water, throw dartheads or even drop-shot.
Ice House Reservoir: The lake level is still good, more than 90 percent, and the fishing is great. Shore slingers and trollers are connecting with rainbows and even a stray brown trout. Eggs, Power Bait or an inflated crawler should get you bit as you lounge in your folding chair on the shoreline. If you take your boat, pull a dodger followed by a threaded two-inch grub and stay in the top 15 feet of water.
Loon Lake: The gate to the campgrounds was recently opened, but you're at the edge of the Desolation Wilderness Area. There still should be snow in the region, and it's going to be cooler than many other areas. You can launch a boat, and the trolling should be good. With the water still being ice cold, the fish should be in the shallower ranges.
Lake Amador: With warming temperature, the trout are running deeper. While limits may not be the rule, there are still big fish roaming the lake. Power Bait is a main attractor, but I've also done well using my second rod by cast-retrieving a lure. The dam and spillway are always popular places to fish for Amador's Donaldson strain of rainbow-cutthroat trout. The Carson Arm and Mountain Springs also show success.
New Hogan Reservoir: There is a great, self-sustaining striped bass population at this lake. Water recreationists can easily take over, so you have to pick your times carefully. Early mornings, late afternoons and nighttime trolling will be good. They should be boiling on the surface this time of year, and that's a good time to find the schools. If you see a boil, get there quick but don't go into the boil. Nothing will scatter them more quickly. Stay on the outside edge of the boil and toss a variety of wounded minnow imitations. If you don't see boils, troll anchovies or shad in the top 35 feet. I've trolled salt water-sized Rat-L-Traps and done well.
This lake also has a big population of catfish, the brown bullhead and more prized channel cats. Fishing any of the coves as the sun sets can produce wonderful stringers.
Camp Far West: The lake is full, and the South Shore campgrounds are now open. Anglers can find it difficult to get away from the recreational boating crowd, but good bass fishing can still be found, mostly up the Bear River arm and some in Rock Creek.

This month, Venus has entered the morning sky. Look southeast at dawn for the brightest point of light there; only the Sun and Moon outshine Venus. Venus remains a morning star for almost all of 2014.
Jupiter, up literally all night long last month, remains well placed for evening observing all winter and spring. Look for it in the east at dusk and almost overhead later in the evening.
Mars remains in the morning sky. It continues to brighten a bit in the south at dawn.
Saturn remains in the pre-dawn sky. Face south-southeast right before sunup to see it.
In February, the Big Dipper only partly risen at dusk. Its two pointer stars — the stars farthest from the handle which point at the North Star —may be high enough to see over trees and buildings.
Watch the Great Square of Pegasus set in the west at dusk. Taurus the Bull is high in the south. Look for the Pleiades star cluster above reddish Aldebaran. Dazzling Orion the Hunter takes center stage on winter evenings. Surrounding Orion are the brilliant stars of winter. Orion's belt points down to Sirius, the Dog Star, which outshines all other stars we ever see at night. The Little Dog Star, Procyon, rises with Sirius and is level with Orion's shoulder as they swing towards the south. To the upper left of Orion's shoulder is Gemini, the Twins, which contains Jupiter this winter.
Under Sirius and low to the southern horizon this month is a star that most Americans never get to see: Canopus. Representing the bottom (keel) of the legendary ship Argo, Canopus is the second brightest star ever visible at night (second to Sirius). Thus, it is clearly noticeable along the southern horizon on February and March evenings. However, you must be south of 37 degrees north for Canopus to rise. (This is the line that divides Utah, Colorado, and Kansas from Arizona, New Mexico, and Oklahoma.)
The sky we see depends on our latitude as well as on the time of night and time of year. From any given location in our hemisphere, there is an area of the sky around the North Star in which stars never set (circumpolar stars), and an equivalent area around the South Celestial Pole in which stars never rise. The closer you are to the pole, the larger these areas are. Observers in Canada, for example, have many circumpolar stars, but there is also a large area of stars that they never see. The closer you get to the equator, the fewer circumpolar stars there are, but there are also fewer stars that never rise for you. At the equator, no stars are either circumpolar or never visible; all of them rise and set as Earth turns.
That's why, down here in south Texas, the Big Dipper sets, although it's always up for most Americans. On the other hand, Canopus, too far south to rise for most Americans, rises here.
1st Quarter: Feb. 6, 1:21 pm
Full: Feb. 14, 5:54 pm
Last Quarter: Feb. 22, 11:16 am
New: Mar. 1, 2:02 am
The Moon takes 27.34 days to orbit Earth; one cycle of Moon phases lasts 29.54 days. At 28 days long, February is the only month shorter than a lunar phase cycle, and thus the only month that can have only three of the four main phases. That's the case this year, as a New Moon occurred at the end of January and the next comes early on March 1.
On most clear Saturday nights at the George Observatory, you can hear me do live star tours on the observation deck with a green laser pointer. If you're there, listen for my announcement.
Clear skies to you!

Gosewisch, Maldonado make most of offseason
PHOENIX -- A 162-game season, plus any postseason games, can take its toll on professional baseball players. The offseason signals a time to rest and relax. For others, it means more baseball in the Caribbean, Mexico and elsewhere.
Counting the Arizona Fall League, there are six leagues that run during the offseason: the Dominican Winter League, the Mexican Pacific League, the Puerto Rican League, the Venezuelan Winter League and the Australian Baseball League.
PHOENIX -- A 162-game season, plus any postseason games, can take its toll on professional baseball players. The offseason signals a time to rest and relax. For others, it means more baseball in the Caribbean, Mexico and elsewhere.
Counting the Arizona Fall League, there are six leagues that run during the offseason: the Dominican Winter League, the Mexican Pacific League, the Puerto Rican League, the Venezuelan Winter League and the Australian Baseball League.
How players end up on teams is a different process for each league. Major League teams may assign certain guys to a league. There's also the possibility that a winter-ball team may contact a club and inquire about his availability, or a player can simply ask to play for a particular club.
Martin Maldonado, a native of Puerto Rico and the Brewers' backup catcher, got to pick the team in his home country's league. He spent the majority of his winter there playing for the Indios de Mayaguez in the Liga de Beisbol Profesional Roberto Clemente. Maldonado caught 28 games, hitting .271 with 11 RBIs.
Maldonado enjoys playing winter ball in Puerto Rico, because it allows his family to watch him catch. The fact that he was able to go home after a game and eat his wife's cooking didn't hurt either.
"My family only comes to the U.S. two times a year, so over there, they get to see me play pretty much every day, and it's great," Maldonado said.
Whereas Maldonado has played multiple seasons in the winter before, Tuffy Gosewisch, a catcher in the D-backs' system, had never participated in one. In Gosewisch's case, the Tigres del Licey of the Dominican Winter League came calling for his services.
"[The D-backs] didn't assign me it," Gosewisch said. "The winter-ball team called the D-backs and asked if it was OK if I went, and then they called me. I talked to the Diamondbacks, and we discussed it all. It was kind of like a mutual decision where they thought it'd be a good idea, and I thought it would be a good learning experience."
Part of the experience for American-born players like Gosewisch who don't speak much Spanish is the language gap that's present when they head to countries like the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico. Yet, after a while, a system of makeshift communication emerges to help the players get by.
"I would speak bad Spanish and they would speak bad English, and we would figure out what each other was trying to say," Gosewisch said. "They appreciate it if you try."
In addition to the language barrier, there's a shift in the culture around baseball in the Caribbean compared to the United States. It was a shock for Gosewisch to witness the change in atmosphere.
"Every game is like Game 7 of the World Series to the fans," Gosewisch said. "Everyone is crazy, and every game you play to win. It's almost like the football season, where every game matters. And that's how they play it; they play with a lot of pride."
No matter how seriously the fans take the games, Gosewisch and Maldonado said winter ball is an opportunity to fine-tune some specific skills by the time Spring Training comes around with their respective clubs.
"I just went down there to get more at-bats," Gosewisch said. "They have some good arms down there, so it was a chance to see some good pitching and just get a few at-bats that I might not have gotten in September."
Maldonado said it's a more relaxed feeling with the winter-ball clubs. He can just show up and play ball.
"There is not that many meetings or scouting reports; it's just more like you're there and you're going to play, that's it," Maldonado said. "There's a lot of stuff that is going on over there that there isn't here. You don't have to shag, and you can show up later."
If anything, winter ball provides players like Gosewisch a chance to explore a different area of the world where they might not have gone otherwise.
"We didn't really do anything that crazy, but we went down to the old town there and walked around, went to some cigar factories," Gosewisch said. "It was a pretty cool experience."

Real-World Review
2014 Kia Sorento SX: Real World Review
For many shoppers, a 3-row crossover is a family vehicle, designed to bring you and your kids from point A to point B as efficiently and easily as possible. But there are a few shoppers who seek driving enjoyment from their crossover of choice, and that's where the 2014 Kia Sorento SX comes in. Offering sporty touches and a powerful engine, the Sorento SX is designed for drivers who miss the sports car that they had to give up when they started a family. So does the Sorento do a good job of combining sport and utility? We spent a week behind the wheel of one to find out.
Potent Engine, Excellent Handling
The Sorento SX boasts a powerful engine and excellent handling, and it certainly delivers. Under the hood is a 3.3-liter V6 that makes an impressive 290 horsepower and 252 lb-ft of torque, which is muscular for the class. Also strong is the Sorento's 0-to-60 time, which is close to seven seconds, a figure reserved for premium sedans and sports cars not so long ago. With that said, our test car suffered from a dramatic transmission "thunk" noise when downshifting, a problem we hope was limited to this particular vehicle.
Also impressive is the Sorento SX's handling. We think it's among the best in its class, coming close to the also-sporty Mazda CX-9 and Ford Explorer Sport. Steering is nicely weighted, and it doesn't have some of the vague feel featured in rivals such as the Toyota Highlander and Honda Pilot. Unfortunately, that means ride quality can be a little harsh, possibly because of the SX model's 19-inch alloy wheels.
Questionable Value
But while the Sorento SX offers a potent engine and better-than-expected handling, there's a problem: You can get all that without upgrading to the SX. Nearly all Sorento models come standard with the crossover's 3.3-liter V6, except for the base-level Sorento LX, and even then the V6 is optional. In fact, a Sorento LX equipped with the V6 starts around at $27,500 with shipping, compared to more than $36,000 for a base-level SX. It's the same story with handling: The SX doesn't add improved suspension, offering only larger wheels than its less-sporty counterparts.
So what does the SX add? Mostly features, and lots of them. Slotting at the top of the Sorento range, the SX boasts a panoramic sunroof, a power tailgate, ventilated front seats, a navigation system, an Infinity sound system and rear air conditioning. It also offers adjustable steering modes, though without adjustable suspension they only make a minor difference in the crossover's handling feel.
Worth It?
As a result, you might ask yourself whether the Sorento SX is worth the money over a base-level LX or a mid-level EX model. Our response is that it depends on what you want.
If you want luxury, you'll be happy with the SX, and not just because of its equipment. We also appreciated the crossover's interior materials, which are excellent for an SUV in this segment, and we like the standard infotainment and navigation systems, which are easy to operate compared to many class rivals. Of course, the SX's long list of features doesn't hurt its case, and for drivers who want even more equipment, there's a new Sorento SX-L, which adds a heated steering wheel, heated rear seats, xenon headlights and chrome wheels. It starts at around $40,000.
But shoppers who don't need such a long list of features would probably be happy with a Sorento EX. For a base price of around $31,500, it delivers equipment like leather upholstery, a rearview camera, heated front seats and automatic headlights, a long list of features that most drivers would appreciate.
Our Take
If sport is your primary objective when buying a crossover, we wouldn't fault you for considering the powerful Sorento, but we would recommend against the SX. With the same engine and suspension as lower-level models, the Sorento SX doesn't offer improved performance over the more affordable Sorento LX V6 or EX. The SX does have more features and, as a result, a higher price tag. Sport-minded shoppers considering the Sorento might also be interested in the sharp-handling Mazda CX-9 and the powerful Ford Explorer Sport.
If luxury is on your mind, the 2014 Kia Sorento SX might be right up your alley, especially given its price tag. It's several thousand dollars cheaper than traditional 3-row luxury crossovers like the Acura MDX, BMW X5 and Infiniti QX60, yet it offers more standard equipment. If you're interested in luxury, and if you can get past the Kia badge, the Sorento SX is worth a look.

Welcome to our first live show of the season. Cat is shiny in gold. I won't lie -- I look forward to seeing what she's wearing each week.
Since we're only getting one show a week this season, I was worried we wouldn't get the group numbers we used to get on the results show, but this show starts out with one.
Yay! It's all 10 couples dancing behind tables in what's supposed to look like an office setting. I only wish my work was (A) this uncluttered and (B) scored so well.
They've kept the introductions intact, with each dancer coming out and doing a move or two while Cat says his/her name. Notable: Janelle is in a metallic silver bikini. I thought Nick was...

Ordinary objects become musical instruments in this rhythmic explosion.
Stomp, the off-Broadway hit--and international sensation--played its 5,000th performance on February 20 at its East Village home, New York's historic Orpheum Theatre. A non-traditional "musical," the Obie Award-winning show, which, since its opening on February 27, 1994, has used garbage can lids, brooms, buckets and a slew of other unconventional "instruments" to make its percussive symphony soar, celebrated its birthday with a lotta noise (and a very cute cake). Stomp's 12th anniversary party was held at the Hard Rock Café, and Broadway.com was there. Take a look!

I'm 6' and 165lbs (prob closer to 180 with a wet 5/4 wetsuit and booties). I'm riding a 2010 5'10" F-One surfboard (thruster). It's not terribly floaty and I wouldn't ride anything longer. I find bigger/floatier boards too buoyant, making it hard to really lean it over and get the rail sunk for a serious turn.
The "float" of a board has more to do with width, thickness, and essentially volume. The length obviously has effect, firewire makes identical length boards in different volumes to accomodate a riders perfect fit. Like we have seen in the evolution of the twintip moving from long and narrow to short and wide... searching for proper volume.
If you come down a big face a longer board is ideal, in small surf a quad fin short board is just straight up more fun, imo... this is why you need multiple surf boards (i just need more ).

Bitcoin is a payment system introduced as open-source software in 2009 by developer Satoshi Nakamoto.
The payments in the system are recorded in a public ledger using its own unit of account, which is also called bitcoin. Payments work peer-to-peer without a central repository or single administrator, which has led the US Treasury to call bitcoin a decentralized virtual currency. Although its status as a currency is disputed, media reports often refer to bitcoin as a cryptocurrency or digital currency.
Bitcoins are created as a reward for payment processing work in which users offer their computing power to verify and record payments into the public ledger. Called mining, individuals or companies engage in this activity in exchange for transaction fees and newly created bitcoins. Besides mining, bitcoins can be obtained in exchange for fiat money, products, and services. Users can send and receive bitcoins electronically for an optional transaction fee using wallet software on a personal computer, mobile device, or a web application.
Bitcoin as a form of payment for products and services has seen growth,and merchants have an incentive to accept the digital currency because fees are lower than the 2-3% typically imposed by credit card processors. The European Banking Authority has warned that bitcoin lacks consumer protections. Unlike credit cards, any fees are paid by the purchaser not the vendor. Bitcoins can be stolen and charge backs are impossible. Commercial use of bitcoin is currently small compared to its use by speculators, which has fueled price volatility.
Bitcoin has been a subject of scrutiny amid concerns that it can be used for illegal activities. In October 2013 the US FBI shut down the Silk Road online black market and seized 144,000 bitcoins worth US$28.5 million at the time. The US is considered bitcoin-friendly compared to other governments. In China, buying bitcoins with yuan is subject to restrictions, and bitcoin exchanges are not allowed to hold bank accounts.

During the last years the Internet attracts users by more and more various ways to earn within the network. To count them, one probably must write a dozen of volumes. Among them, there is one method that doesn't require a call for money, a lot of efforts and bright intellectual abilities. I mean Bitcoin faucets, where free coins are distributed.
How one can earn Bitcoin? Let's look into main options:
Bitcoin mining. You have to install specific software on your computer, and you have to buy powerful hardware. After that, you can start mining. However, the times when it was profitable to mine at home, have passed – right now Bitcoin appears too expensive.
Open an exchange point and take commissions for transactions. To earn Bitcoins, you have to invest a sufficient sum at first.
Stock market game. It works with the analog of the well-known Forex, but here the main item is Bitcoin. To use this method, you have to understand the main principles of stock market functioning and possess strong analytical skills.
Storage. You can buy a certain amount of crypto-currency and store it for some time, waiting for its possible rising in price. Experts make prognosis that Bitcoin will only grow in price, however, it is not so straightforward, and there is still a risk to lose everything.
Trading. A perfect way to receive earnings – sell items for Bitcoins in the online market, for example. If you invest in advertising, you have good chances to earn from crypto-currency lovers.
Lotteries and casino. Recently, many gambling resources have appeared, which use Bitcoin and Satoshi as stakes.
Using Bitcoin faucets. This method is especially popular among newcomers.
The principle of Bitcoin faucet work is quite simple. You just have to visit a website, enter your Bitcoin wallet, click on the button like "Receive Reward" and type captcha to ensure you are not a bot. If we get things straight, the user receives free coins for watching the advertising. The faucets owners receive their earnings from the ads placement, and the part of their earnings are distributed among users for the visiting of their website.
There are also other types of faucets in the network. They count Satoshi as well, but they are basically Bitcoin generators. They work on the principle of a counter, the peculiarity is that every minute the number of stored Satoshi increases, but the speed of their storage, on the contrary, decreases. This means that the best time for getting your earnings is at the start of new counting.

Vince Gill Parts Ways With His Record Label
At the Universal Music Group label luncheon show at Nashville's Country Radio Seminar Wednesday (Feb. 22), George Strait surprised the Ryman audience with his guest appearance — but fellow star Vince Gill had a surprise of his own. Before launching into his song 'The Red Words,' the 'Threaten Me With Heaven' singer told the audience, which was full of radio personnel, that he was performing that day as a thank you to radio, since he is no longer an MCA recording artist (part of UMG).
"For the first time in 30 years, I don't have a record deal," he said, according to CMTT. "Don't know that I want one. I'm just grateful for where I've been, and you've been a big part of where I've been and where I'm going. To my MCA family, it was really a sweet ride the last 23 years, and I appreciate everything you do."
Gill's last release with Universal was his tenth with that label — October 2011′s 'Guitar Slinger' — which was his first collection of new songs in five years. Still, the Country Music Hall of Famer isn't slowing down by any means. After his last release, he said he actually felt more energized for the next phase, adding that fans won't have to wait another five years to hear from him.
"I built a studio in my home, and I feel completely energized," he said. "I think the next 20 years will bring a whole lot more music than the last 20. Plus, mortality is rearing its ugly head. I want to create my biggest body of work while I still have my voice." With or without a record label, we're confident that Gill will release some incredible work in the coming years.

Bill finds a silver lining in the freezing February temperatures...
Last weekend, for the 82nd time [assuming there was a Stratford trip every term since fall 1972], the ICLC Shakespeare scholars participated in a 'first'.. . No, we didn't go backstage and hang out with the director during the production; no, we didn't get a talk from Dame Helen Mirren on her days at the RSC; nor did we have lunch at the birthplace on Henley street; nor did we all go rowing on the Avon and play 'bumping boats' with a view to getting pneumonia; nor did we risk being cursed by moving the poet's bones. We did all the usual things: see a play, staff dined at the oppo, students had a post theatre coca cola with the actors at the 'Dirty Duck', Dr Kidd gave his riverside talk, we visited the grave, we bought postcards, souvenirs and raffle items, Avery won the 'brain of Stratford' quiz and, with it, £25, etc.
Normalcy reigned except for two things – both coach drivers attended the production and were 'over the moon' with their experience, especially Peter. Here's a clue to the big 'first': the play was 'the winter's tale', a title that more than matched the weather. Normally we would go to Stratford in the early spring weather of March or April, but RSC scheduling forced a jump forward to February. It was so cold that (i) Dr Kidd abbreviated his lecture on the churchyard by about 15 minutes and (ii) some students gave the impression they had converted to a new religion.
Remember Pangloss's wisdom, 'all is for the best in the best possible world'. The ICLC brains thrust stole a half hour from the visit to Warwick and our wonderful coach drivers agreed to tour through the countryside around Stratford to visit 3 places, (i) Snitterfield, where Shakespeare's grandfather, Richard, was a tenant farmer and his father, John, was born; (ii) Wilmscote, the farm and village of Mary Arden, Shakespeare's mother, and (iii) Shottery, the farm house of the Hathaway's, whose daughter married Shakespeare about 1582. This weather-inspired detour through the hinterland will probably form part of future trips to Stratford.
How did the students respond? Well, 100% liked being on a warm coach, but possibly only 50% took an interest in the guide's stories about the area. We need better guides!

These excerpts were taken from an article written by Rabbi Meir Kahane, ZTUQ"L, HY"D (may he be remembered for his goodness, may he be a blessing in his holiness, and may his blood be avenged by G-d) published in Kahane magazine, Nov. 1985
Why, surely it is the issue that, unless raised and discussed and answered, will guarantee yet another and another national catastrophe. Surely it is an issue that goes to the very nature of the Jewish People, its meaning and role in life, its direction and fate.
What is the fundamental issue that must be met and grappled with?
Why surely the one that asks the question: Where was God? How could He have permitted it?
Our failure to grapple with this issue (instead we corrupt our souls by the terrible reply: It is a question no one can answer) has caused us to be silent accomplices in the worst of all Jewish sins and crimes - Hiruf v'giduf, blasphemy against the Lord; open insult and attack on His Name - Hillul Hashem (cursing G-d).
How dare we sit by quietly while Jewish ignoramuses and blasphemers speak of the "death of God", and His Name is dragged through the mud of a theology and philosophy of heresy?
How dare we allow Him to be blasphemed and our children to be turned down the path of apostasy and atheism because our reply to the attacks of the blasphemers is: "No one can answer the question!"
Of course there is an answer! It is a Jewish answer. But, of course, it is the kind of answer that the irreligious Jews, the secularists, the impossible Reformers and Conservatives simply cannot cope with.
It is an answer that can only come from a Jew who believes fully and completely and it is the answer that can only enter the mind and soul of a Jew who believes fully and completely.
And since the non-Orthodox Jew is essentially an atheist (though lacking the courage to admit it), the answer to the Holocaust is simply impossible for him to accept.
And as for the Orthodox Jew, in such great measure, he is responsible for laying the groundwork for the inability of Jews to understand or accept the Jewish answer to the Holocaust. Let me explain and you, dear reader, study the words carefully, They will pain you, but they can also save you.
The reason for the Holocaust, the Jewish reason and answer, is the one that rises out of the fundamental of fundamentals of Torah. What happens to the Jewish People is dependent on their actions and they way they live their lives.
The Jewish People is a Chosen people; chosen for a mission it cannot avoid or escape. At Sinai, the covenant bound us to a life of truth or falsehood, of life or death. "See, I have set before you this day, life and good, and death and evil... And if thy heart turns away and you will not hear... I tell you this day that you will surely perish... I call heaven and earth to record this day against you that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse; therefore choose life, that both your and your seed may live. [Devarim/Deuteronomy 30:15,17,18,19 selections therein]
The clear, direct mission and warning to the Jewish people. The open message of reward and punishment. If the Jew will obey the Torah in all its ways, he will have life, glorious and majestic. If not, he will have death, terrible and
Of course we can answer it; but the irreligious Jew, the one who does not accept the Divinity of Torah, refuses to accept an answer that lays the blame upon him, upon the Jew who - knowing of the warning - ignored it and disdained it.
No, since it is impossible to accept the relationship between Jewish suffering and failure to obey the Law, one must blame God. One must create the image of Jewish people in Europe that was saintly and pious and observant, and thus one must ask how the modern God, a beaming Santa Claus who would never take serious our desecration of mitzvot (commandments), could do such a thing. And, of course, using that as a premise, "there is no God..."
And the Orthodox Jew joins in. He creates a picture of European Jewry that must lead to agonized and perplexed questioning of God. He creates a picture of saintly men that must lead to a vision of a God that is a cruel God who punishes a people who, for the most part, were religious and observant and if so, how could He do such a thing unless He does not exist or "there is no answer..."
The picture that is handed down to the American Orthodox youth, of the yeshivas of an East European Jewry that was pious and traditional and observant is one that must be destroyed because it is false.
It is an image that the yeshiva world gave us in its desire to negate the present material western one. But by their falsely idealizing Man, they have laid the groundwork for the desecration of God.
By painting the East European Jew as a saint, they designed a God of cruelty and irrationality. And that most terrible of sins must be ended: We must save God and sanctify His Name by telling the truth about European Jewry in the years preceding the Holocaust. Then and only then will we be able to tell our children and all Jews the truth of the Holocaust.
The false idealizing of the Jewry of Eastern Europe is worse than foolishness. In the words of Kohelet (Ecclesiastes), "Say not: 'How was it that the former days were better than these?' For it is not out of wisdom that you inquire concerning this." [Kohelet/Ecclesiastes 7:10] Then and only then can we save God from blasphemy and ourselves from future horrors. Then and only then can we honestly and truly say: "All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth unto such as keep His covenant and His testimonies." [Tehillim/Psalms 25:10]
Of course we know the real truth of the situation and from that comes the answer, if we wish to be honest. Then and only then can we reply to the wicked and the honestly confused both - honestly. For in the words of Tehillim: "The secret of the Lord is with them that fear Him, and His covenant to make them know it" [Tehilllim/Psalms 25:14] and Mishlei/Proverbs: "Men of evil will not understand justice but those who seek the Lord will understand everything." [Mishlei/Proverbs 28:5]
Yes, as the nineteenth century passed into its third quarter, the Jew of Russia and Poland was, indeed, observant. But what else could he be?
The overwhelming number of Jews lived in a Pale of Settlement that restricted them to the shtetl, the village, where they were isolated from the gentile world, barred from participating in anything else except the society of the shtetl. And that society was religious in toto.
What Jew, even if he wanted to, was prepared to rebel against the society that laid down the religious rules of life?
Who was prepared to accept the ostracism that would be his inevitable punishment if the dared to throw off the halacha that was more than religion in the shtetl, but the entire social fabric of the life of the Jew?
And so, of course, the Jew was "religious". He had no other choice.
But once that choice arrived, look at what happened! And in such a short span of time! The Enlightenment that began to arrive in Eastern Europe in the last third of the nineteenth century swept away, in a relatively few years, a society and structure that had been built up for centuries. The great Torah centers spawned, overnight, a rebellion and revolution that uncovered the reality of Jewish "religiosity".
The same Vilna that had become a byword for piety and Torah learning, the home of the Gaon, the "Jerusalem of Lithuania," now gave birth to' the Jewish labor movement, the Bund, a bitterly anti-religious and anti-nationalistic group that saw Jews, who just yesterday were "religious", flocking to its ranks to spout atheistic socialism.
The Poland and Russia and Lithuania and Galicia, the areas of the Va'ad Arba Ha'aratzot (Council of the "Four Lands" of the 17th Century Kingdom of Poland), the places that had given us the Rama and the Shach and Chassidism and the great yeshivas, overnight gave birth to Jewish communism and socialism and secular Zionism and assimilation. The door was barely opened to enlightenment and emancipation and the Jew rushed to be a Universalist and to throw away Judaism.
This was "religion". This was a "pious, saintly, committed Jewish community" that was cruel and unjustly allowed to be slaughtered by God? Hardly. The Jews who, arriving in America from centuries of "religion" and who threw away their tefillin (phylacteries) and their Shabbat at the first opportunity, symbolized so many other Jews who remained behind. It was not "religion" that had marked them but a social system of ritual that was observed by most only because the outside gentile world refused to allow them entry to it, and there to throw off the yoke of heaven.
The moment the barriers dropped, the Jew rebelled. This was the reality, and the fault dear Jew, lies not in our God but in ourselves.
And there was of course, more. There was the terrible class struggle within East European Jewry.
There was the terrible oppression of Jewish workers and proletariat by the wealthy Jews, the parnessim, the communal leaders.
Not for nothing did the Bund and communism succeed so easily in attracting poor Jewish workers to their ranks.
The low wages and horrible working conditions in the factories owned by Jews are epitomized in the classic story told in the name of the saintly Rabbi Levi Yitzchak of Berdichev who once visited a matzah bakery on the eve of Passover.
There, he saw the terrible conditions from dawn to dusk. "Dear God", he said, lifting his eyes unto heaven. "What liars are the gentiles! They accuse us of using gentile blood in our matzah. It is not true. We use Jewish blood..."
And too few know of the black chapter of the Hatufim, the kidnapped Jewish children of Czarist Russia. When the Czar decreed that Jewish children be drafted as "Cantonists" in the army for 25 years, the rabbis declared that the quota imposed on each community be filled by casting lots to see which child would be drafted.
Tragically, the wealthy communal leaders would hire gentiles to kidnap the poor Jewish children, lock them in the synagogue and keep them to be turned over to be Czarists.
The lack of Ahavat Yisrael, love of Jews, cried out to the Heavens! Was this "religion"? Was this a saintly Jewish community that was cruelly and unjustly slaughtered by God? Hardly. The fault lies not in our God, but in ourselves.
And this lack of unity and love was epitomized, too, in the incredible number of machlokes, of bitter arguments and splits within the Jewish community, a sinat chinam, a needless hatred that split communities and families into warring camps of enemies.
What we have seen in the disgusting attacks of hatred between Satmar and Belz or Satmar and Lubavitch is only a small portion of the bitter hatred between misnagdím (religious Jews who disagreed with Hassidism) and Hassidim and between Hassidic groups themselves, in Europe.
The bitter divisions between Jews was told to me as a child by my father, of blessed memory, who described to me the bitter split between the Sanz and Rizhin, a hatred that reached its climax with Hassidim going to the Western Wall to put the Sanzer Rebbe, the great Divrei Chayim, into herem (a term similar to excommunication). And at a Shabbat seuda shlishit (third Sabbath meal, eaten shortly before the prayers ending the Sabbath), a Hassid attempted to stab the Divrei Chayim...
Families were broken up because of disputes. Needless hatred ran through East European Jewry as a thread, and the classic example of the Munkatcher Rebbe declaring, concerning the Pressburger Yeshiva founded by the Chasam Sofer: V'hivdilanu min ha'toim - "and He has separated us from those who err," even as the Pressburger Yeshiva refused entry to any baHur (student) who was a member of the
And this terrible, terrible hatred was long ago, set up by the Rabbis as an unpardonable sin with a terrible, terribly clear and precise warning:
"How severe is maHloket, division and split! The Court of Heaven does not punish until one is over the age of 20 and the court on earth from the age of 13, but in the dispute of Korach, children of one day were burned and swallowed up by the earth..." (Tanchuma, Korach 3) And the Rabbis in Shabbat (33b): "When there are righteous in the generation, the righteous are caught for the sins of the generation. When there are no righteous, then little children are caught for the sins of the generation (this is the explanation for the million and a half Jewish children murdered by the Nazis in the death camps). Let each of us think long and carefully about this. And let us search our souls.
And let us remember, on top of all the sins and the reality of Jewish crimes, the refusal to grasp the Land of Israel to our bosom. "And they despised the desirable land," is the Biblical condemnation of the generation of the desert and its great scholars and leaders who preferred to return to Egypt rather than go to the Land of Israel.
Their actions led to the night of "weeping for generations," Tisha B'Av. What shall we say about the rejection of Eretz Yisrael in the decades preceding the Holocaust by so many great religious leaders in Europe? That, too, must be added to the reality of East European Jewry.
It is time to put an end to the nonsense of "we cannot know the reasons". That answer guarantees the turning away of Jewish youth.
It is time to bury the myth of East European Jewry that was pious and saintly. That insures the creation of a Jewish God who is senselessly cruel.
It is time to put an end to the indictment of God, to hiruf v'giduf, blasphemy against the Lord.
A Jewish People that clings to the Law, truly and completely, will be saved from Holocausts.
And one which rejects it and which turns it into a ritualistic sociological fraud will suffer for it.
And until we learn this, that which was will, God forbid, be again.
But do not blame God. He remains the One whose duty compels us "to declare that the Lord is just, He is my rock and there is no unrighteousness in Him." [Tehillim/Psalms 92:15]
What is the fundamental issue of the Holocaust that we avoid speaking about and that, when mentioned, is dismissed with a curt and swift non sequitur?

In the face of a severe downturn in the economy, the private school is changing its strategic direction. In addition to facing the daunting task of raising funds to build expensive campus facilities, George Wythe is looking to expand the delivery of its education programs over the internet.
The new concept was introduced to supporters via a recent email from George Wythe founder Oliver DeMille.
DeMille writes of a "tuition bubble" similar to the "mortgage bubble" that helped trigger the economic crisis. He said the new economic realities have had a significant impact on educational institutions, including George Wythe. DeMille explained, "This has driven our costs up…and in this recession we have had to make cuts, layoffs and really tighten our belts for the months ahead."
DeMille adds that the crisis "has helped us step back and look at the real needs in the future, and redefine how George Wythe University can deliver its unique mission…"
As a result, George Wythe is looking at an aggressive expansion into the delivery of internet-based educational products. DeMille said the new online courses are expected to be rolled out in the summer of 2009.
Officials stress that the Monticello campus is still very much in the future plans for George Wythe. DeMille writes, "Our plan is to…build a small but excellent campus in Monticello that will grow beyond this recession and provide leadership education far into the future."
"We still plan to build in Monticello, with a new facility to open no later than 2012," said George Wythe President Shanon Brooks. "We are still moving forward, just scaling back a bit. We want to build with no debt."
An audacious strategic plan for George Wythe University was released in the fall of 2008, which called for a capital campaign exceeding $1 billion. In the face of the current economic crisis, the short-term prospects of raising the funds have dwindled.
In addition to the financial challenges, the college faces the task of trying to find and develop up to 400 acre-feet of water rights for the campus, which is scheduled to be located west of Monticello.
While scaling back in some areas, the officials with George Wythe are enthusiastic and audacious about the new plans. DeMille closes the letter to supporters with these words, "A new type of schooling is emerging—some see it and some don't. But it will revolutionize the world…"

The ETSU men's basketball program was glad to see the 2012-13 campaign come to an end, following a season which saw the team face multiple obstacles and challenges -- such as a brutal schedule that featured the likes of North Carolina, Arizona, Ole Miss, Virginia Tech, Georgia and Hawaii ... Other issues for the team included senior post Lukas Poderis (Port Richey, Fla.) missing the season with ankle injury that he suffered in the preseason, senior guard Jarvis Jones (Memphis) being academically ineligible for the first two months of the year, and two other senior guards who were expected to be major contributors were dismissed from the team in early November for violations of team rules … This left head coach Murry Bartow and his coaching staff with a young, inexperienced group of underclassmen, several true freshmen, one redshirt freshman and a pair of junior college transfers … Those obstacles proved to be tough to overcome, as the Buccaneers posted a 10-22 record and finished 8-10 in Atlantic Sun Conference play … It was the toughest campaign in Bartow's 10 seasons at ETSU, a tenure that has produced many championships, postseason tournament appearances and 20-win campaigns … In all, Bartow's teams have earned three NCAA Tournament invitations (2004, 2009 and 2010), one NIT appearance (2007), and one CIT berth (2011), and the Bucs have eclipsed 20 wins five times. …
The series vs. Mercer
The Bucs lead the all-time series over Mercer 12-5, but ETSU has lost three straight in the series, including a 71-54 decision in Johnson City back on Feb. 16, 2013.
Last time out vs. Mercer
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Feb. 16, 2013) – Having rallied back to get within three points midway through the second half, the ETSU men's basketball team was unable to complete another Saturday comeback and dropped a 71-54 decision to Atlantic Sun Conference rival Mercer inside the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center. ... The Buccaneers (9-19 overall, 7-8 A-Sun) played a dismal first half offensively, shooting just 16 percent from the floor and falling behind by as many as 16 points before the intermission. After the break, ETSU managed to get to within three at 41-38 after a technical foul call on Mercer head coach Bob Hoffman, but looked on as the Bears (18-9, 11-3) outscored them 30-16 the rest of the game. ... As in several games so far this season, the Bucs struggled early on in the contest and only had four made field goals by halftime. This obviously allowed the Bears to build a 27-13 halftime advantage. ... Following the halftime break, the Bucs actually found their shooting stroke and went on an 18-10 run to make it 41-38 with 10:39 left in the game. However, from there Mercer put together a 10-0 run of its own with some effective offensive plays and a lockdown defensive effort, and they never looked back. ... ETSU senior guard Jarvis Jones (Memphis) led the Bucs with a game-high 18 points, while sophomore post John Walton (Memphis) and junior forward Hunter Harris (Nashville) pitched in 12 and 11 points, respectively.
Last time out
KENNESAW, Ga. (Jan. 4, 2014) – Junior guard Rashawn Rembert (Tampa, Fla.) and freshman guard A.J. Merriweather (Jackson) each scored a game-high 19 points, as the ETSU men's basketball team opened Atlantic Sun Conference play with a 71-55 victory over Kennesaw State Saturday afternoon inside the KSU Convocation Center. ... With the win, ETSU head coach Murry Bartow collected his 300th career victory, as the Buccaneers improved to 8-6 overall, 1-0 in A-Sun play. ... The Bucs closed the first half on a 10-2 run and later opened the second half on a 10-0 surge to build an 18-point lead and never looked back. ETSU ultimately led by as many as 21 points in the second half, shooting 55 percent from the field and 50 percent from 3-point range for the game. ... Merriweather finished with his third career double-double, grabbing 10 rebounds to go with his 19-point effort. Meanhwhile, Rembert finished a perfect 4-of-4 from 3-point range and 7-of-9 from the field. ... It was a back-and-forth game in the first half, with the Buccaneers shooting well from beyond the 3-point arc and Kennesaw State holding a decisive advantage on the glass. The game featured eight lead changes and four ties in the first 20 minutes, but ultimately resulted in a 40-32 score in favor of ETSU at the break, as the Bucs closed the half on a 10-2 offensive run. ... After the break, Rembert and Merriweather combined to score the first 10 points of the half and quickly make it 50-32 with 18 minutes left. From there, the lead ballooned to 21 points at 65-44 thanks to another seven points from Merriweather during a 9-0 ETSU run. The Owls ultimately managed to marginally cut the deficit in the final minutes.
Bartow gets win No. 300; aiming for No. 200 at ETSU
ETSU head coach Murry Bartow won his 300th career game on Saturday against Kennesaw State, and is now just three wins away from No. 200 as head coach of the Buccaneers ... Bartow is the second winningest coach in program history, behind only legend Madison Brooks' 370 victories for the Blue and Gold ... Bartow's .582 winning percentage also ranks second in the modern era for the Bucs, behind only Alan LeForce's .607 percentage.
Rembert hoping to stay hot as A-Sun schedule begins
Junior guard Rashawn Rembert (Tampa) has made the most of his increased playing time over the last two seasons ... Last season, Rembert ranked fourth in the A-Sun in 3-point field goal percentage at 39.7 percent for the year. ... This year, he has shown a marked improvement in his style of offensive play, and currently leads the team with 15.1 points per contest, and he currently ranks second in the A-Sun in 3-point field goal percentage and first in three-pointers made.
Riley names A-Sun POTW after 19 points against Valpo
MACON, Ga. (Dec. 30, 2013) – Just a week after being named the Atlantic Sun Conference Newcomer of the Week, ETSU junior guard Jalen Riley (Racine, Wis.) has been named the league's Player of the Week. ... The conference office announced Monday that Riley picked up the honor courtesy of his impressive performance in the Buccaneers' 73-62 victory over Horizon League foe Valparaiso Sunday afternoon. In that contest, Riley registered a game-high 19 points and added four steals to his stat line, helping the Bucs force a decisive 24 Valpo turnovers. ... The win extended the Bucs' home winning streak to six games and improved the team's record to 7-6.
Difference between winning and losing for ETSU
Rebounding has been a particular indicator for the Bucs this season when it comes to wins and losses ... The statistics below show the differences for the Bucs is several important categories so far this season.
Statistical category Wins (8-0) Losses (0-6)
ETSU scoring 82.4 PPG....................... 65.7 PPG
Opponent scoring 72.1 PPG........................ 78.2 PPG
Rebounding margin +0.3.................................... -11.3
Shooting % .492.................................... .390
3-pt. shooting % .381................................... .296
Assists 12.8 APG..................... 10.8 APG
Merriweather continues to shine, posts double-double
Freshman guard A.J. Merriweather (Jackson, Tenn.) has certainly made an impression in the early going this season, and he continued to make more news with his third career double-double in the win over Kennesaw State (1/4) ... In that game, Merriweather also netted a career high with 19 points, while grabbing 10 rebounds ... His current team ranks are first in rebounding (6.8 rpg), fourth in scoring (11.5 ppg), first in steals (1.7 spg), and third in minutes played (28.2 mpg).
All-around effort by Gadsden-Gilliard impressive
Setting new personal bests with 12 rebounds and six assists in the win over Samford (11/21), senior forward Kinard Gadsden-Gilliard (Georgetown, S.C.) had people thinking "triple-double" when he added an 18-point effort to his statistical line ... The Bucs hope that KGG can make these types of efforts more consistent ... KGG responded to that expectation by putting together a 19-point, seven-rebound and seven-assist outing against Marshall in an 88-78 victory on Nov. 30.
Giplaye makes return following open heart surgery
Earlier this year, the Buccaneers got a serious scare when junior forward Ron Giplaye (Lowell, Mass.) had to undergo open heart surgery for a condition that was described as "life threatening." ... Following the successful procedure, Giplaye has slowly regained his strength and was able to play two minutes against Tennessee Tech (11/27), marking his first competitive compeition since the 2011-12 season when he played at Providence. ... He then played five minutes in the loss to Georgia Tech (12/7), scoring his first two points in an ETSU uniform and grabbbing three rebounds.
Bucs have tradition of postseason appearances, success
The ETSU men's basketball team has enjoyed its share of postseason success and ranks as one of the nation's most prestigious basketball programs ... The Buccaneers have earned berths to the NCAA Tournament nine times (1969, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 2003, 2004, 2009, 2010) and NIT twice (1983, 2007) ... In 2011, the Bucs made their first ever appearance in the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament, winning twice and advancing to the semifinals of that event ... It was the program's 12th postseason tournament appearance all-time.
Three-point streak for Bucs dates back nearly 20 years
Since Feb. 16, 1987 in a game against Davidson, the Bucs have made at least one 3-pointer in 808 consecutive games. ... ETSU was 0-for-8 in that 1987 game. ... The Bucs currently rank as the 7th longest streak in the NCAA, just behind Arkansas and ahead of Oakland.
ETSU picked among nation's best "Prestige" programs
In the modern era for NCAA Division I-A basketball – marked by the expansion of the NCAA Tournament field to 64 teams in 1984-85 – the ETSU men's basketball program ranks in the Top 30 percent of the 300 programs that were eligible for the postseason at that time, this according to ESPN.com's "Prestige" ranking released back in 2008 ... Since that time, the Bucs have only added to their list of prestigious honors … The Bucs -- who have enjoyed nine NCAA trips, one NIT and one CIT berth, 14 20-win seasons, and a slew of conference regular season and tournament championships since 1984-85 -- ranked tied for 82nd out of 300 teams, meaning they were in the Top 27 percent of schools making the list. ETSU was ranked ahead of every current Atlantic Sun team, as well as former SoCon rivals Appalachian State, Western Carolina, Georgia Southern and UNC Greensboro. In addition, at that time the Bucs ranked ahead of SEC schools such as Tennessee, Vanderbilt, South Carolina, Mississippi State, Georgia, Mississippi and Auburn, as well as programs such as Notre Dame, DePaul, Bradley, Clemson and Fla. State.

Wrote this, >.> somewhat the first 8pages of v2 in a summary in case anyone likes to read. Might continue if I have time to do more >.> sorry for any mistakes >.<
The story starts out right after the events with Kyoko with Ayumu sitting in class, having Math as sixth hour. It's Friday, June 30 today. 4 days have passed since Kyoko's been missing.
Kyoko was a serial killer who's presence was concealed, and up until now, her whereabouts have not been known yet. Lesson ends and Ayumu who stops thinking of his killer because it depressed him, meets up with Orito, they discuss the future and Orito annoys Ayumu to pay more attention to school because of bad grades. Somehow recognizing his point, Ayumu packs his math book and goes home where he changes into his plain clothes and looks into the living room. As usual, the girls were around the table looking at the plasma television. What they were watching was a program called the Golden Show The program was a well known topic in school. Since Eu, with the usual cool face, was concentrating on the teacup, Ayumu decides to take the opportunity to study for his test here since Necromancer Eu seemed fairly knowledgeable and the bloodsucking vampire Sera was pretty capable of using her head. Ayumu puts his focus on Haruna.
"As for Haruna.. who was a masou shoujo- well you could say she's that. Yes she's definitely that."
Ayumu left and came back to the room once more, bringing monday's huge obstacle; a collection of the most difficult math problems. Just before starting, Haruna asks him what he's doing.
Ayumu: "It's study, for next week's test"
Haruna: "Test? For what?"
Haruna tilts her head up. Eu poors tea and ticks the table twice. She takes out her favorite ball-point pen and places it on top of the memo.
[Perhaps endurance]
Inside of Ayumu's imagination: [It's almost certainly a very strong test~!]
Haruna: "It has to be an collision experiment"
Ayumu: "Don't talk nonsense. You'd think i'd receive such a test?"
Sera: "It's a written examination"
Sera, aware of this world's circumstances, alone easily explained it. Ayumu who took Orito's advice, flips open the first page while feeling a gaze of curiosity. I'll start with the first problem:
- Think small, ... long consideration.
- Impossible, .... pointless.
To Ayumu in his present state, it already seemed impossible for him to start from the first page.
Ayumu: "Sera, about studying-"
I called out to the blood sucking ninja who seemed to be most intellectual about this kind of matters, but she sensed what I wanted to say, and Sera said:
Sera: "If it's ancient writing or geography, then I think I might be of little help"
There was this image where a ninja seemed to be well versed with study, but it can't be helped at the moment. The test for the national language and social studies was the second day. I decided to ask for Sera's help some other time. For the time being, let's ask Eu- NO WAIT
Ayumu: "Haruna, You're for certain... a genius or wasn't that the setting?"
That's right. Haruna was certainly a "genius". She's a masou shoujo after all.
Haruna: "Don't say setting! Are you making fun of me?"
With her mouth open, she was staring tense at Ayumu as if she saw a ghost.
Ayumu: "No, you're really reliable. Though this problem is slightly-"
I tried to show it to Haruna and then,
Haruna: "This is √3 - √2, right"
It was an immediate answer. EH-? Is she really a genius?
Ayumu "...what about the formula?"
While she leans the head to the other side, I ask again,
"How you did you manage to get this answer?"
Haruna lets out a sigh.
Haruna: "1+1 is?"
Ayumu: "Huh?"
This time it was my turn to lean my head.
Haruna: "Answer already, 1+1 is"
Ayumu: 2
Haruna: 2 x 2 is?
Ayumu: 4
"The formula is?"
This person, did she memorize the answer?
Ayumu: "There ain't... a formula"
Haruna: "See?" [me: I didn't understand what Ayumu thought afterwards but the point is, she doesn't need a way to get to the answer so thro this he acknowledged her as a genius]
Ayumu: "But if I don't write how I got the answer, I won't get any points for it."
Haruna: "Haa!? You've the answer already, don't screw around"
That's what's been told to me.
Haruna flings a collection of problems straight to the desk to swat an insect down.
Ayumu: "In addition, I want to understand how to solve it. Teach it properly from the beginning"
Haruna: "...I, I understand, even though it'll be very bothersome"
Oh? I thought i'd needed to push more but she's unexpectedly more obedient then I thought.
That moment, I had underestimated Haruna's natural gift.
Haruna: "So, according to the supernova explosion" [me: Haruna is using space logic to explain things to Ayumu]
I told you clearly "Teach me properly from the beginning"
Ow and regarding Chris, Ayumu vowed to beat her since she stole Haruna's magic. His only problem was the way how to beat Chis which only Kyoko knows who they tried to bait her, but I haven't read up to that yet.

Seeing Saras appeared in the OP I can conclude that the anime will cover at least 3 volumes.
I just hoped they will also animate vol.5. SHIT WILL BE GLORIOUS.
About Kyoko,
In volume 1, she is defeated but manage to flee with help of the King of the Night.
Later, she constantly picking a fight with Ayumu and act innocently in front of Dai-sensei.
In volume 3, she got lectured by Ayumu and surrender by her own will. She is sentenced to several hundred (?) years of imprisonment. This imprisonment doesn't mean she got locked in the jail but got her magic suppressed and is not permitted to go outside of Virie.
In volume 5, Ayumu invited Dai-sensei and Kyoko to his class party to discuss Chris's weakness. She took this chance to escape using Dai-sensei's magic because after several hundred years after she will be released, all of the person she love will gone/die. There's no point of it. Ayumu defeated her, groped her breast, and tell her he will wait for her (he' a zombie anyway). Haruna also hugged her and tell her she will also wait for her. She, AGAIN, surrendered.

All figures are for the 2018-2019 academic year and are subject to change.
Clemson offers financial aid in the following forms:
The amount of need-related aid for which you are eligible is determined by the information you supply annually on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). To be considered for need-based scholarships, applicants must also submit the FAFSA to the federal processor by January 2 (effective 2019-20).
There is no separate application process for the majority of scholarships and aid at Clemson. Students who wish to be considered for academic recruiting or diversity scholarships must apply for admissions by Dec. 1 and complete the admissions process by Dec. 31. Please contact the Office of Student Financial Aid for additional information.
Students typically will receive an email notification about their financial aid award package in the Spring. If additional aid is needed, there are federal and private loan options or a Tuition Payment Plan available.
Your eligibility to pay in-state tuition and fees is determined by South Carolina law. If you are unsure of your status concerning payment of in-state tuition and fees, you are responsible for securing a ruling from the University by providing all relevant information on the residency application. These forms and a copy of the S.C. law are available from the Office of Admissions. Complete and return the application at least two weeks before registration for the semester for which you wish the in-state rate to apply.
Entering freshmen should contact the Office of Residency Classification regarding residency status. They assist continuing graduate and undergraduate students with application for entitlement to pay in-state rates on tuition and fees.
Transfer of Funds — Verification that sufficient funds are available for the student's entire educational tenure at Clemson is an integral part of the admission process. Clemson University is a state institution funded by public monies. Consequently, all costs are paid at the beginning of each semester or term (August, January and May of each year). There are no funds for international undergraduate financial aid at Clemson. In addition, deferred payment privileges are not extended to international students. Please consider this when applying to your home government for transfer of funds to the United States.
Employment — Generally, U.S. immigration regulations prohibit international students from working during their period of study. Therefore, students must plan to have sufficient funds for the entire length of time they will study in the United States. Although on-campus employment may be available, under no circumstances should a student try to enter the United States with the intention of finding employment to finance his/her studies. Obtaining permission to seek employment off campus because of unforeseen economic hardship is sometimes possible but requires the endorsement of Clemson University's foreign student adviser and the written approval of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. This is available only after the student has satisfactorily completed two semesters of study.
International undergraduates may participate in Clemson's Cooperative Education program if required by the academic program, which affords participants the opportunity to alternate semesters of work and study in order to gain practical work experience.
All of Clemson's 24 residence halls and five apartment complexes are within a 10- to 15-minute walk to class. And with our 18 dining halls, cafes, coffee shops and express shops on campus, you're never far from something to eat or drink.
