In 2006 a new charity, named 'Antioch', was set up and registered with the aim of promoting research on the cultural heritage of the Rum Orthodox (Chalcedonian) Patriarchate of Antioch. Although the early period, up to the time of the Arab conquests, is comparatively well known, the subsequent centuries have been very little studied, despite their importance, both for the history of the Orthodox Church as a whole, and for that of the Middle East in general. Discoveries in recent years of medieval wall paintings in Syria and Lebanon, as well as of hitherto unknown manuscripts, forgotten saints, and the identification of new Christian archaeological sites, are just one indication of some of the new and unexpected aspects that are coming to light. At present, however, 'Antioch' is concentrating its attention on the very large number of manuscripts of Antiochian Orthodox provenance, written in four different languages, Greek, Syriac, Christian Palestinian Aramaic and Arabic. At the end of many of these, the copyist has provided a colophon with notes stating where, when and for whom the manuscript was written; quite often, further information of a historical or topographical nature is also given. Work on these manuscripts has already brought to light a forgotten saint, besides providing a lot of new and valuable historical information. Once all this information has been collected together, it will make it possible to write a much more authoritative and reliable history of the Rum Orthodox Patriarchate of Antioch than is at present available.
A pan-Orthodox gathering of spiritual refreshment and fellowship in memory of Kh. Joanne Abdalah
Kh. Joanne Abdalah served as an inspiration in her life as the wife of a priest and as a counselor to many. She understood the joys and trials of this life, and the need for finding strength in Christ and each other. She believed that every clergy wife needs to discover and develop her own Christian vocation. In her memory, her family and several clergy wife friends planned the first Clergy Wives Weekend in 2009 as a fitting tribute and way to carry on her work and commitment to clergy wives.
Last November more than 70 Orthodox clergy wives from jurisdictions across the United States enjoyed the inaugural Clergy Wives Weekend at the Antiochian Village. The schedule reflected Joanne's holy and holistic approach to life – we need to pray; we need to play. We need to enjoy the fellowship for this short time without parish responsibilities, family responsibilities or other cares of this world. The Weekend was a tremendous success, and so we announce the 2010 Clergy Wives Weekend!
The Holy Spirit, the Comforter and Spirit of Truth, is everywhere filling all things. But do clergy wives with the best of intentions get caught trying to do that, too, juggling marriage, family, parish, education and job beyond realistic expectations? How do we listen to hear what the Spirit is leading us to do in life? How can we nurture our relationship with God? What do the gifts and fruit of the Spirit look like in our lives and situations? How do we discern? And what do we do with all our life includes?
Fr. Aidan Wilcoxson of St. John the Forerunner Antiochian Orthodox Church of Cedar Park, TX, was interviewed recently by the Austin Statesman newspaper. The occasion was the publication of his reflection on Orthodox parish life, Aidan's Song: A Year in the Life of a Parish Priest, available from Conciliar Press.
What gave you the idea to write this book?
While there are a lot of spiritual memoirs being written these days, most of them are by people who are either dissatisfied with their particular spiritual tradition and on their way out the door, or they are sampling a number of different spiritual traditions to try and find out what's right for them, or they are just maintaining an ironic distance from any and all spiritual traditions. I thought that a memoir written by someone who has fully embraced a particular tradition and is finding joy in it would be unique.

Metropolitan Anthony BloomA beautiful new website hosting a great majority of the archived works of Metropolitan Anthony Bloom, recently launched at masarchive.org. Compiled as a labor of love over twelve years, by Boris K. Khazanov, the archive consists of over 2,000 text files, 800 photographs, 1,600 audio files, and 200 videos in Russian, English, French, and eight other languages. As the website "About" section explains, "For several decades a number of parishioners and disciples of Metropolitan Anthony of Sourozh (1914-2003) recorded his talks, interviews and sermons on audio tapes, video recordings and photographs. Some of the audio tapes were transcribed. All of these documents, stored on fragile media, were widely spread among many people across the globe – in the UK, France, Russia, USA, Switzerland, etc. Metropolitan Anthony did not prepare an official will, with regard to his works or wordly possessions, however in 1987 he gave his blessing to his spiritual son and friend Boris Khazanov to collect all his works and in 1998, memorialized that blessing in a written statement."
Browsers can spend hours in the Photographs, Texts, Audio, and Video menus. In "Photographs," for instance, galleries display images from the years 1912 all the way up to the year of his repose, 2003.
New from OCABS Press:The Chrysostom Bible - Colossians & Philemon: A Commentary Paul Nadim Tarazi (Paperback: 130 pages, Publisher: OCABS Press, July 2, 2010)
The Chrysostom Bible Commentary Series is not so much in honor of John Chrysostom as it is to continue and promote his legacy as an interpreter of the biblical texts for preaching and teaching God's congregation. In this volume, the author, Paul Nadim Tarazi, explains how both Colossians and Philemon are woven together to "'fetter' a free Roman patrician of the 'mighty' city of Colossae to the gospel whose main injunction is the love for the needy neighbor...both Colossians and Philemon," Tarazi writes, "when understood against their original background are lessons for the ages."
The V. Rev. Dr. Paul Nadim Tarazi is Professor of Biblical Studies and Languages at St. Vladimir's Orthodox Theological Seminary. He is the author of a three volume Introduction to the Old Testament, a four volume Introduction to the New Testament, Galatians: A Commentary, I Thessalonians: A Commentary, Land and Covenant, and the Chrysostom Bible, Genesis: A Commentary, Philippians: A Commentary and Romans: A Commentary. His Audio Bible Commentaries on the books of the New Testament are available online through the Orthodox Center for the Advancement of Biblical Studies (OCABS).

Project Mexico VolunteersProject Mexico, the pan-Orthodox organization that has been ministering to the poor of Tijuana since 1988, reports, "After the past three weeks of hard work, both sessions of OBT (Orthodox Basic Training) have ended and 10 new homes are built in Mexico! Project Mexico and St. Innocent Orphanage hosted roughly 150 people for OBT's 1st session June 22-28, and 110 for the 2nd session July 6-12. Volunteers came from a variety of places including New York, Illinois, Ohio, Colorado, Washington, Oregon, Arizona, Indiana, Massachusetts, Canada and more! Each Orthodox Basic Training session gave participants a unique experience to build a home in an impoverished area of Mexico, and unite with other Orthodox Christians from across the country while doing so."

2009 Sacred Music InstitutePaul Jabara, Chairman of the Sacred Music Institute, writes,
"Dear Church Musicians,
This year marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Sacred Music Institute. When I think back on the early years, I remember a group of music lovers who "boldly went where no one had gone before". We didn't know what to expect, but quickly learned that the Sacred Music Institute was not only a place of learning, but also a place of love. Musicians helping musicians…Christians helping Christians. Friendships were formed and these bonds are thriving to this day. Personally, my earliest memory of the SMI was as a young seventeen-year-old being coached by Maestro James Meena, and directing my first Cherubic Hymn. How the years have passed…Twenty-four years later, I found myself organizing the Sacred Music Institute and here we are at year twenty-five.
The curriculum has expanded over the years. Here are some of the highlights being planned:
• We welcome back our beloved Bishop Basil, the music department's overseer, and look forward to hearing his words of inspiration and musical brilliance.
• An expanded Byzantine Music Program will be led by Charlie Marge of the Boston Byzantine Chorale, and Dr. Sam Cohlmia, Protopsaltis of the Diocese of Wichita and Mid-America and St. George Cathedral, Wichita, Kansas. Additional faculty are Dr. Stephen Esper of St. George Cathedral, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Dr. Jessica Suchy-Pilalis, a specialist in the history, theory and practice of Byzantine music and Protopsaltis of the Greek Archdiocese.
• Classes on Theory, Vocal Techniques, Choral Conducting and Music for Mission Parishes will also be offered, just to name a few.

Kiev BaptismReuters Moscow Bureau reports, "Russia officially celebrated a new holiday on Wednesday marking its conversion to Christianity in 988, the latest Kremlin boost to an Orthodox Church that has grown increasingly powerful since the fall of Communism.
Marking the anniversary, Patriarch Kirill, head of the Russian Orthodox Church, told state-run television: 'Abandoning the historical significance of the baptism of Rus means discarding the supporting pillar of our entire civilization.'
Kirill held a liturgy in Kiev, the capital of modern Ukraine and mediaeval Kievan Rus, whose leader Prince Vladimir converted to Christianity over a millennia ago and adopted it for his state. Kievan Rus is seen as the precursor to modern-day Russia, Ukraine and Belarus.
Clad in a flowing gold cloak in Kiev's historic Pecherska Lavra monastery, Kirill told thousands of followers: 'Facing aggressive atheism and resurgent paganism we remain firm in our belief in God.'
The Orthodox Church is undergoing a revival in Russia after the fall of the Soviet Union almost 20 years ago and Russia's leaders have endorsed it as the country's main faith.
Medvedev on June 1 signed a law making July 28 a National Day, a state holiday that is also a working day.
Across Russia, churches prepared to hold ceremonies and mass river baptisms in honor of the conversion."

Chesterton, IN — "The Miracle in Zone One" is the name of a new Ancient Faith Radio audio documentary, in which Bobby Maddex reports on his recent trip to Hogar Raphael Ayau Orthodox Orphanage in Guatemala City, Guatemala.
From its founding more than 150 years ago, through its seizure by the government of Guatemala and its return to a descendant of the founder, Orthodox Christian nun Madre Inés Ayau García, in the 1990s, the story of "The Hogar" and its impact on the life of children and adults involves one miracle after another.
The miraculous happens frequently at Hogar Rafael Ayau (HRA). But, like so many miracles in Scripture, humans sometimes play a role. So when Catherine Fuller was looking for a way to record the wonderful singing of the children at Hogar Rafael Ayau and needed equipment, she contacted Ancient Faith Radio. She'd already tried recording the children herself, but the equipment available just wasn't up to the job. She was hoping AFR would have better equipment.

Baltimore, MD — Looking for a great back-to-school service project that will provide kids around the world with supplies that they desperately need? International Orthodox Christian Charities (IOCC) is challenging its supporters to assemble 10,000 school kits by September 2010 as part of its "Kits for Kids" campaign.
Parish youth leaders and Sunday School teachers can use "Kits for Kids" as a powerful way for children to learn how to serve others while providing supplies for some of the millions of children who lack items as basic as pencils and paper.
"The kits are so valuable, especially from the simple perspective of the kids getting something new and clean and useful that they could call their own," said an Orthodox priest in Haiti who works at a school that is supported by IOCC and who recently received a shipment of school kits.
IOCC, which has sent tens of thousands of school kits to children in need throughout Eastern Europe and the Middle East, through a partnership with Church World Service (CWS), is reporting very low supplies of school kits at the warehouse in Maryland where they are stored.
Become part of the "Kits for Kids" campaign today! Help IOCC get 10,000 school kits to 10,000 children who need them desperately all over the world! Click here for complete instructions.
From ocmc.org:
Northern Uganda had been decimated by war and insurrection for many of the years since its independence from Britain in 1961. Now relatively secure, former residents are beginning to return and their medical needs are tremendous. This June, an Orthodox Christian Mission Center (OCMC) Health Care Team was sent to Uganda to address the persistent needs that exist there.
Malaria is a scourge in East Africa and intestinal worms are pandemic. Arriving in Kampala and first working out of Gulu and then moving to Lira, the team treated over 3,800 patients in nine rural clinics. The first day saw a new record for a one day patient count when over 700 people were examined and treated. The Team pharmacy worked until 8:30 pm filling prescriptions by the light of a kerosene lantern.
The team, led by Fr. Joseph Ciarciaglino, utilized two doctors, one nurse practitioner, three RNs, one physical therapist and one health care student to bring medical services to many who had not had any care since last year's OCMC Team treated them. These dedicated Orthodox medical professionals are a credit to themselves and to the Orthodox Church. The love and care with which they served God's children was a visible sign of the Gospel message of love of neighbor.
In addition to over $9,200 worth of medical supplies, the Team brought liturgical books and two sets of vestments for the priests. A set of icons, an icon cross for St. Basil Orthodox Church in Gulu, over 3,000 paper icons and a set of church banners were also gifted by the Team. Financial contributions were made toward a day school and for other needs as they arose.
Archbishop Demetrios at 2010 Clergy Laity ConferenceThe Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America, at their 40th Clergy Laity Conference, adopted six General Resolutions which they have released to the general public here.
The resolutions: call for religious freedom for the Ecumenical Patriarchate, request the faithful and the government to do all possible to help the people impacted by the oil spill in the Gulf, issue a call to prayer for peace in the world and especially in the regions of Iraq and Afghanistan, request that all Orthodox support the efforts of the Episcopal Assembly, express appreciation for the ministry of Orthodox chaplains, and offer thanks to those who planned and executed the Congress in Atlanta.

Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia Kirill has urged the clergy to use Internet blogs for missionary work. The head of the Russian Orthodox Church warned against idle talk or passing one's own thoughts for the postulates of the church. The Patriarch was speaking ahead of his second pastoral visit to Ukraine....
Patriarch Kirill sees social networking as an opportunity for dialogue and revival of the epistolary genre. IT expert Alexander Kuzin says the patriarch wants to establish a dialogue with the Internet community in a user-friendly language.
"The Church wants to make itself understood to most readers," he says. "This does not mean that church bloggers should use a primitive or false language. Unlike former Internet resources, social networks and blogs make it possible to talk and listen. Communication is crucial. A contemporary user wants two-way communication, so that they could ask questions and receive the answers, and could enter discussions with the others."

Conciliar Press recently released Bearing the Saint, a story by author Matushka Donna Farley. The descriptive text reads: "Edmund is just an ordinary fisherman's son from the island of Lindisfarne, whose one great talent and joy is running as a messenger for his bishop. But when Viking invaders threaten the holy island and its great treasure, the relics of St. Cuthbert, Edmund's life changes forever. Along with his whole village, he must accompany their beloved saint on a perilous pilgrimage that will carry him across England, through adventure, heartbreak, miraculous deliverance, and budding love, all the way to manhood."
The paperback book is appropriate for older children, but adults will enjoy Farley's engrossing narrative as well. To order the book, go to the Conciliar Press website.
Iconographer SkolnikSt. Paul the Apostle Church in Dayton, Ohio, is hosting an exhibition of more than ancient and new 100 icons. Located at 4451 Wagner Road, St. Paul will allow viewing of the free exhibition from August 20-22, 2010, 10 AM to 6 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, and 12-5 p.m. on Sunday.
Forty of the icons in the Exhibit are historic, dating from 1650 on, and hailing from Russia, Greece, Ukraine and Ethiopia. Among them are a 17th century Russian miniature iconstasis with more than 20 individual figures, as well as a large 18th century Icon of the Virgin Mary, "The Joy of All Who Sorrow."
Viewers will also be able to see the 36 large new icons that respected Russian-American iconographer Dmitri Shkolnik of San Francisco has recently installed on the walls of St. Paul's, including icons detailing scenes from the life of Christ, the life of St. Paul, as well saints of the 20th century - including several martyrs from the Midwest who were executed in Russia for their faith during the years of Soviet oppression.
Explains oca.org, "In keeping with the theme, 'The Gift of Transfiguration: Changed Life and Lives', the exhibition also concludes with a number of recent icons by Daryl Cochran, an American iconographer who is currently an inmate at the London Correctional Institute in London, Ohio. 'Daryl became an Orthodox Christian a few years ago while in prison,' explains Fr. Ted Bobosh, rector of the parish. 'A talented artist, Daryl is in the process of becoming a unique iconographer as well.'"
Marie and Lovely(Port-au-Prince, Haiti) – Marie and her daughter, Lovely, make a 4-hour, round trip journey each day from their home in the Delmas 10 area of Port-au-Prince to reach Foyer d'Amour ("House of Love"), a school for the developmentally disabled operated by the Orthodox Church that Marie calls, "a gift from God." It is one of only five such schools in a country of 10 million, and International Orthodox Christian Charities (IOCC) is equipping it with everything it needs – from teacher's salaries to basic school supplies – to stay open.
As Haitians pass the six-month mark since the earthquake that devastated their country, such support is crucial for children, allowing them to continue their education and regain some normalcy.
On January 12, when the earthquake struck, Foyer d'Amour's teachers and parents streamed in all night to check on the school. "So many schools had been destroyed, but Foyer d'Amour was special," says Roseline, a teacher who has been with the school for 10 years. "Here we not only teach students skills they need to survive in society, but we provide a safe place that they do not have anywhere else."
The school was severely damaged by the quake, so teachers built a temporary facility across the street. One hundred of the school's 150 students returned when the school reopened in April. The school completely waived the tuition fees and is committed to accepting any student who can benefit from its curriculum.
"My home was destroyed in the earthquake and I live in a tent in my old neighborhood, but Foyer d'Amour gives me motivation and hope," says Rose, a teacher who instructs students in sewing. Students learn other occupational skills like cooking, and they can join a music band that plays for dignitaries and special events.
A page from the Garima GospelsThe Orthodox blog Byztex recently posted a UK-based Daily Mail article reporting an amazing discovery. The preservationists of the Ethiopian Heritage Fund have located the earliest known illustrated Bible at the remote Ethiopian Orthodox Garima Monastery, near Adwa in the northern Tigray region at 7,000 feet above sea level. The Garima Gospels are named after a fifth century monk and have survived virtually intact, despite enemy invasions and a fire in the 1930's, thanks to the diligence of the Orthodox monks.
Explains the Daily Mail article, "They were written on goat skin in the early Ethiopian language of Ge'ez.
There are two volumes which date from the same time, but the second is written in a different hand from the first. Both contain illustrations and the four Gospels.
Though the texts had been mentioned by the occasional traveller since the 1950s, it had been thought they dated from the 11th century at the earliest."

National Philoptochos In AtlantaBaltimore, MD — International Orthodox Christian Charities (IOCC) received strong support on Tuesday from the Greek Orthodox Ladies Philoptochos Society, which presented IOCC with an $80,000 check for its aid to earthquake-ravaged Haiti, and another gift of $40,000 for IOCC projects around the world. The presentation was made at the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese Clergy-Laity Congress in Atlanta, Georgia. "From wheelchairs distributed to the disabled of Zimbabwe and support to fight the dreaded disease of podoconiosis in Ethiopia, Philoptochos has been one of the strongest partners for IOCC," said IOCC Development Director Daniel G. Christopulos who accepted the gifts on behalf of IOCC. Philoptochos was one of the first Orthodox supporters of IOCC's relief work in Haiti, providing an emergency grant for an airlift of water purification equipment and tents (shown here) for families in the days just after the earthquake. The check presented on Tuesday brings Philoptochos's total aid for Haiti to $100,000.

Ideas can be found here. On the web site, you also will find many resources to inform your parish about our sister diocese. You can print materials for bulletins, handouts, Sunday School, etc... I encourage you to use these resources to educate and inform your parishioners. For example, you may want to use His Grace's letter about the program to get historical information about the Archdiocese. Certainly, these efforts should not only be once a year, however, a special effort is asked for St. Timon Sunday.

In the fall of 2011, a new institution will open its doors to the Orthodox community. St. Katherine College in San Diego, California, will commence the first year of classes, offering an emphasis in Composition, English Language and Literature, Foreign Language, U.S. Government and History, Economics, Mathematics, and the Sciences. As to affiliation, the website explains that "The College community is independent, but it is closely associated with the Orthodox Christian community." Fr. Thomas Hopko, Dr. Scott Cairns, and Dr. Vladimir Morosan are all listed as faculty, among several other Orthodox academic luminaries.
Recently, Antiochian.org interviewed Vicki Brannock, St. Katherine College's Executive Director for Communications and Recruitment.
1. Tell us about your academic approach.
Of course the academic emphasis is important to us. We are selecting staff that represents the best in Orthodox academia and are working to strike a balance between the well established (Fr. Thomas Hopko, Scott Cairns) visiting professors and mid-level and younger faculty that we believe will make significant impact on the future.

STANFORD -- Sometimes it seems as if tennis great Serena Williams needs to create her own challenges to bring out the best in her game.
That certainly seemed to be the case Sunday in the Bank of the West Classic championship when Williams fell behind 5-1 against Germany's Angelique Kerber out of the gate. While Williams maintained that was a result of Kerber's fine play, it actually was more a case of her own unforced errors and general listlessness against a clearly inferior player.
But pressed to the brink in that first set, it was as if Williams flipped a switch, and a different, dominant player emerged. Williams reeled off five straight games, including one in which she fended off two set points with Kerber serving at 5-2, and ultimately powered her way to a 7-6 (1), 6-3 victory at Taube Family Tennis Center.
It was Williams' third Bank of the West title, and she has won 12 matches in a row at Stanford while claiming the 2011, 2012 and 2014 events (she skipped 2013). It was also the 61st title of her career, her fourth this year and a nice bounce-back from her travails at Wimbledon.
It also wouldn't have been nearly as dramatic if Williams hadn't dug her own deep hole to climb out of. Fans got a little bit more for their money, even though the match still lasted only 79 minutes.
"It's always really exciting to win like that," Williams said. "It's fun to win easy matches, but it's always great to have tough matches and tough opponents like Angelique today."
Again, she was being kind. Kerber was the tournament's No. 3 seed and was ranked eighth in the world coming into this week's event. She has good court coverage, a sneaky forehand, and she's a lefty, which can throw a wrench against the best in tennis. But she has a mediocre first serve and a lollipop second, and once Williams found her rhythm on it, she proceeded to give it a merciless licking.
Her own serve came around, too. Williams won 100 percent of her second-set first serves -- 10 for 10. In fact, she won 16 of her 18 second-set serves, which is about as imposing as a it gets. As for mistakes, Williams made 23 unforced errors in the first set -- many of those while falling behind 5-1 -- and only six in the second.
Even though she had a large lead, Kerber didn't feel that confident, aware that one of the biggest reasons Williams is such a great player is that she plays the most important points well.
"In the important moments, she's just there and she goes for it," Kerber said. "I think that's the special thing she has ... along with her serve."
In most cases, a player who's down 5-1 in the first set will just let it go and try to regroup for the next one. What made Serena stay in and fight for what looked like a lost cause?
"I had opportunities to be up 2-0, and if I'd held serve, it could have been at least 4-3," she said. "I just thought, 'Take it one point at a time, relax and not think so much.' "
Since it doesn't happen all that often that Williams gets down 5-1, she couldn't recall if she'd ever come back from such a deficit.
"It's a good thing that it happened, though, because it can definitely build more confidence," she said. "If I'm not playing great, I know I'm still able to make a comeback."
Now the 32-year-old Williams will try to make a comeback in a larger sense. Two years ago, after winning at Wimbledon, she came to Stanford and used her Bank of the West performance as a springboard to a U.S. Open title.
Even though ranked No. 1 throughout this year, she hasn't won a Grand Slam for the first time since 2011, and the next one will be a big one -- an 18th major title would tie her for fourth with Martina Navratilova and Chris Evert on the all-time list. So her performance at Stanford could provide another critical nudge, particularly the way it unfolded with challenging wins in three straight matches.
"It tells me I'm moving in the right direction," she said. "I feel like I can really play a lot better. I don't think I served my best, and I didn't make as many winners off returns. There's a lot of room for improvement. Still, it's a good win for me to keep the momentum going."

Thanks in Advance.

News 12 at 11 o'clock / Thursday, Aug. 9, 2012
EVANS, Ga. -- Rick Allen is officially in an Aug. 21 runoff against Lee Anderson to earn the right to face John Barrow for Georgia's 12th U.S. Congressional seat.
A recount shows he beat fellow Republican Wright McLeod by a slim 582 votes.
"We kind of fought it out in every county, and it was very close. Maybe I'll sleep a little better tonight," Allen told News 12.
Allen garnered about 26 percent of votes, while McLeod got about 25 percent.
That means it's now a race to win over McLeod supporters.
"Absolutely we would ask Wright to endorse our effort," Allen said.
That statement comes after Allen accused McLeod of campaign improprieties earlier in the campaign.
"Wright said from the get-go that the number one objective here was to beat John Barrow, and I'm the best candidate to beat John Barrow," Allen said after News 12 questioned him on the accusations.
He says he's the best candidate, but Anderson got the most votes in the July 31st primary.
His campaign also realized McLeod's exit leaves lots of votes up for grabs.
"Wright ran a very strong campaign, and he should be commended for all the work that he put into his campaign," said Scott Knittle, a spokesman for Anderson. "If Wright would like to support us, we would welcome his support."
However, McLeod, having just found out about his loss, says he's not ready to throw his support behind either Republican candidate.
"I haven't made that decision. I'm not going to dodge that question until the 21st, but I am going to dodge it right now," McLeod said.

[ Annual Campout in South Polk Begins Saturday ]
Alafia River Rendezvous: Florida Frontiersmen Harken Back to Pre-1840 Era
Published: Thursday, January 17, 2013 at 11:58 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, January 17, 2013 at 11:58 p.m.
HOMELAND | The recreational vehicles have been parked out of sight. The cellphones have been hidden away.
WHAT: Alafia River Rendezvous
WHERE: 1000 Old Fort Meade Road, Homeland (From U.S. 17, go east on County Road 640 and turn left on Azalea Avenue/Old Fort Meade Road.)
WHEN: Public days are Jan. 25 and 26.
HOW MUCH: Adults $10, seniors and children (ages 4-15) $5
WEB: www.floridafrontiersmen.org/Alafia2013
The annual transformation of a desolate expanse of land just south of Homeland into a pre-1840 camp is complete.
The 42nd annual Alafia River Rendezvous, a simulation of life in the early 19th century, begins Saturday and runs through Jan. 26. The gathering, organized by the Florida Frontiersmen, is expected to draw as many as 1,400 campers.
Only the final two days of the Rendezvous are open to the public.
The Rendezvous simulates the yearly meetings between fur traders and fur trappers, or "mountain men," who ventured out of the woods to sell their pelts. Florida Frontiersmen members and guests live in unadorned canvas tents during the eight-day gathering, wear period clothing and cook by fire.
Participants were already setting up camp on Monday. All vehicles and other suggestions of modernity were required to be out of the primitive camp area by Wednesday.
The event's name reflects its original location a few miles to the west along the Alafia River. It moved to its current location, 322 acres owned by the Florida Frontiersmen, in 2002.
Chris and Tamera Beisler of Tampa serve as "booshways," or supervisors, of this year's gathering, a corruption of the French bourgeois. Alafia is one of four major rendezvous events held each year in the United States, and Tamera Beisler said the gatherings have fostered a cottage industry of vendors who sell period attire, crafts and food.
Beisler, in real life a water aerobics instructor, said her teenage son and two teenage daughters soon would be joining her at the camp. The grounds include a one-room schoolhouse, and certified teachers make sure the students do their work.
Beisler, 47, fielded frequent calls on her cellphone Monday morning but said she would happily disable it in a few days.
"It's all unplugged, and today we need unplugged," she said.
Mike and Bev McIntyre of Hardee County have been attending the Rendezvous for 36 years. They had erected their tent Monday morning, and Mike was digging a fire pit and hammering the frame of a metal grill into the ground.
Mike McIntyre, a working farrier, serves as head ranger during the Rendezvous, patrolling the site on horseback for fire hazards and other problems. McIntyre, 65, brought along two of his horses.
Bev McIntyre, 64, summed up the appeal of the annual gathering.
"Seeing how our ancestors camped, how they lived," she said. "It's really a lot of fun. And friendship — sitting around the fire at night with your friends. There's nothing like it. At night it's so beautiful, looking around with all the candles lit."
She said the couple's grandchildren sometimes come to spend a night or two at the camp. Using the grill and a Dutch oven, McIntyre said, she can do everything from slow roasting a ham to baking biscuits and pies.
"You're just out here to enjoy each other's company, and you don't have all that hubbub of the modern world," McIntyre said. "It's just so peaceful and relaxing. When you have to go back to work and everything, you just feel so relaxed and at peace, you can tackle the modern world again."
A small wooden stage provides a venue for entertainment. Campers also take part in black powder shooting competitions and archery contests. Many of the campers demonstrate aspects of 19th-century life, such as blacksmithing and spinning and the making of brooms, shaker boxes, candles and soap.
Beisler said the Rendezvous is likely to swell to 5,000 people during the "Publick Days" on Jan. 25 and 26.

Condoleezza Rice: Back in the Viewfinder
Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice offered advice and support this week in venues ranging from Capitol Hill to courtside bleachers.
A Stanford University professor and principal at the RiceHadleyGates consulting firm, Ms. Rice came to Washington to headline Wednesday night's annual National Republican Congressional Committee's fundraising dinner, which raised around $15 million. Her speech touched on education and pushed back against Russian President Vladimir Putin.
On Thursday, Ms. Rice met with around 30 House Republicans to discuss the situation in Ukraine in the office of House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (R., Calif.), a personal friend who introduced Ms. Rice before her speech at the NRCC dinner.
"Whip McCarthy often seeks Dr. Rice's counsel on matters related to the economy, national security and international diplomacy. He invited Dr. Rice to brief members and offer her insight," said Mike Long, a spokesman for Mr. McCarthy. Ms. Rice, who has previously briefed Republicans in Mr. McCarthy's office, discussed the political dynamics in Ukraine and Russia on Thursday, then fielded questions on a range of topics.
Through a spokeswoman, Ms. Rice declined to comment on the meeting. Ms. Rice, who served under President George W. Bush, has made clear her support for Republicans retaining control of the House.
"America is at its best when it is strong and prosperous both at home and abroad," Ms. Rice said in a January statement when the NRCC announced she would headline its March dinner. "That is why we need a robust Republican majority in the House working each day to promote peace and economic opportunity for all."
Later Thursday, Ms. Rice, dressed in Cardinal red, headed off to Memphis, Tenn., to watch Dayton upset Stanford's men's basketball team in the Sweet 16. Her presence was not lost on former Stanford football player, now Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman, who took a selfie with Ms. Rice. "Nice crowd tonight in Memphis," he tweeted.

The first month of 2013 has come and gone, but it's not too late to make a goal of having the healthiest year ever, starting with the must-have tests and screenings doctors advise having on a regular basis.
Even for healthy people, an annual or bi-annual check-up is one of the best preventative tools, said Webster Griffith, registered nurse supervisor at Heartland of Marietta.
"We look for changes over time. That's why we want to see people frequently. If they get to their physicians and get their routine check-ups and yearly exams, we can monitor those changes," he said.

JASMINE ROGERS The Marietta Times
Marietta resident Terrie Bain, left, gets her blood pressure and temperature taken at Marietta Memorial Hospital Friday by ER Tech and Health Unit Coordinator Nelson Zinser. Bain gets her blood pressure taken regularly and as a preventative measure, recently asked a doctor to perform some heart screenings.
It was a combination of a higher than usual blood pressure test and a family history of heart conditions that led Marietta resident Terrie Bain, 63, to seek further testing.
"I went to a heart doctor and wanted him to run some tests," she said.
The doctor told Bain that while her overall heart health was good, she could benefit from some blood pressure medication.
Fact Box
Purposes of regular health examinations
As primary prevention.
To identify risk factors for common chronic diseases.
To detect disease that has no apparent symptoms (secondary prevention).
As a way for the doctor to counsel people to promote healthy behavior.
To update clinical data since last checkup.
To enhance the relationship between you and your doctor.
Source: www.emedicinehealth.com.
"I just think it is better to have things checked out and be safe about it," she said.
Bain's case is just one example of solving a problem before it starts, but many don't make it to a doctor's office as often as advised, for a variety of reasons.
As a graduate of Marietta Memorial Hospital's School of Radiology, Carlene Hess, 54, knows the importance of getting an annual mammogram, but said she sees a lot of women who try to avoid the important test.
"They are scared, I think...scared of the results or scared because people have told them it is going to hurt," said Hess, a Marietta native who now works as an X-ray technician in Kentucky.
However, new technology such as digital mammography has made the testing a much more comfortable process, she said.
While the benefits of regular screenings are widely proven, they are not necessarily widely practiced, said Dr. Marcus Nichols, DO of internal medicine and pediatric medicine with the Memorial Health System.
"Unfortunately people do tend to wait until there is a problem," he said.
People wait for many reasons. Through his work in the Marietta Memorial Emergency Room, Nelson Zinser, ER Tech and Health Unit Coordinator at Marietta Memorial Hospital, has noticed that the largest demographic who skip out on preventative visits are those who do not have insurance.
"Those are the people who don't follow through because they simply can't," he said.
That is one reason that Marietta resident Tina Bruner, 51, has not been to the doctor in more than five years.
"Not having health insurance is bad. Everybody needs it," she said.
Bruner goes to Quick Care when necessary, but would like to see health insurance become more affordable for everyone, she said.
"Even people on Medicaid are having to use a secondary form of insurance," she said.
Pricing on various tests and screenings depends on many factors, said Jennifer Offenberger, director of marketing and public relations for the Memorial Health System.
Those factors can include whether a person has insurance, the type of insurance, deductibles, coinsurance or out-of-pocket limits, and the manner in which tests are ordered by the physician, she said.
"Health care is changing to help support the payment of screening tests," added Nichols.
Still, a good handful of people will always subscribe to the old "if it isn't broken, don't fix it" motto, said Zinser.
That is how Marietta resident Vance Glass, 39, feels about it.
"I just don't believe in going to the doctor if nothing is wrong," he said.
But, said Zinser, screenings can catch things that might be broken, and simply not yet displaying signs of it.
"If a person takes care of their health while they are still in good shape, then they stay healthier in the long run," he said.
Deciding on appropriate tests has a lot to do with a person's risk factors, such as family history, lifestyle choices and weight, Nichols said.
"Screening of a disease is based on the prevalence of the disease. Screening recommendations do change over time," he pointed out.
Because recommendations vary as to the best time to begin screenings or how often to get them, Nichols recommends talking to a physician about which preventative tests and screenings to pursue.
However, certain health conditions become more prevalent as people's bodies age, he said. While recommendations vary from one medical organization to the next, there are established tests that individuals should be looking into once they hit a certain age, he said.
Yearly wellness exams should start at age 3, said Nichols, with younger children seeing a physician even more frequently. These check-ups focus less on specific screenings and more on appropriate childhood development, he said.
Still, there are specific tests that doctors will perform for children in certain age groups, he said.
Newborns should get a hearing screening, he said. A forward bend scoliosis test and vision tests are common for adolescents.
"We also broach the topic of self-exams in adolescence," said Nichols.
Adolescence is a good time to stress the importance of these exams, which should be part of a lifelong habit, he said.
Young women are taught to perform monthly self breast exams and young men monthly self testicular exams, he said.
"In men, testicular cancer tends to be more advanced when found because men don't pursue the monthly self-exams," said Nichols.
Mental health screenings can also be important for teens, said Christa Holman, a licensed independent social worker at L&P Services.
However, it is not necessary to do across the board mental health screenings in teens, she said.
"If parents or administrators see concerns in teens there are psycho-social assessments that we can do," said Holman.
Concerns might include disruptive behaviors, mood swings, or anxiety, and a mental health screening would test for the gamut of disorders listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), she said.
Adults can also be screened for depression if risk factors or current symptoms exist. For example, adults who have noticed insomnia, lethargy or simply decreased enjoyment might want to inquire about a depression screening, said Holman.
One test that is important regardless of risk factors is a cholesterol screening, said Griffith.
Also, men and women in their 20s should start getting cholesterol screenings once every five years, said Nichols.
"Cholesterol plaque develops early and the disease burden is additive over time," he said, so early cholesterol screening is important.
Frequent blood pressure checks can also help doctors notice irregularities over time and prevent heart problems down the road, said Griffith.
Also twenty-something women should start being tested for cervical cancer with a Pap smear every three years, said Nichols.
And both men and women in their 20s should start self examining their skin for abnormalities.
According to the American Cancer Society, individuals should check their entire body once monthly and look for moles that have one of the ABCDE warning signs: asymmetry, border irregularity, color discrepancies, diameter later than six millimeters and evolving shape, size, or color.
"A physician can perform (a full skin cancer screen) as part of their yearly health visit if necessary," added Nichols.
In their 40s, women should start getting mammograms once every one or two years, said Nichols.
The prevalence of the disease makes these screenings very important, he added.
"Up to 25 percent of women develop breast cancer by their 80s," he said.
For males, prostate screenings are not recommended until age 50, said Nichols.
According to the National Cancer Institute, one in six men will be diagnosed with cancer of the prostate during their lifetime.
Marietta resident Zach O'Dell, 48, cited a prostate screening as one of the health measures he thinks is most important.
As a commercially licensed truck driver, O'Dell is required to have a complete annual physical. However, he said he would do the physical regardless because he is a strong believer in preventative measures.
"I'm 48, but I feel 25. Wellness check-ups, not smoking, eating right, that's all part of taking care of yourself," said O'Dell.
Eating right and swearing off smoking are two very important preventative measures that individuals can take without seeing a doctor, Nichols agreed.
Another important test for men and women in their 50s is a colorectal cancer screening, said Nichols.
Colon cancer occurs in 6 percent of Americans, he said.
But the good news is, those who have a colonoscopy with normal results do not need to have another one for 10 years, Nichols said.
Patients have other options for colon screenings, such as a sigmoidoscopy or fecal occult, but those screenings need to be done more frequently, he said.
In their mid-60s, females are at a higher risk for osteoporosis. Therefore a yearly bond density test is recommended for women 65 and older.
Finally, it is not a bad idea for men and women in their 60s to start screening for dementia and Alzheimer's disease, according to health professionals.
"We can screen for some of the early signs and symptoms of that (at L&P)," said Holman.
While there is nothing that is going to reverse the diseases, there are medications on the market to slow their process, she said.

4 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Mr Irving?
5 MR IRVING: May it please the court. I have placed in your
6Lordship's bundle F a continuation of about 20 or 30
7pages, and I have also provided your Lordship, as you have
8just noticed, with a copy of Nuremberg to which we were
9referring to yesterday.
10 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Yes, I see that. Thank you.
11 MR IRVING: And if we can just take up one or two of the points
12your Lordship requested yesterday? Your Lordship
13requested a copy of what the pull-down menu says. That is
14in the bundle which I have just given you, bundle F. It
15is at the back of bundle F which your Lordship was using
17 MR JUSTICE GRAY: The pull-down menu, where do I find that?
18 MR IRVING: If you go to page 93 of bundle F, my Lord, it
19should be -- unless the numbering has gone wrong.
20 MR JUSTICE GRAY: I had this in a different form yesterday, did
21I not, from Mr Rampton?
22 MR IRVING: Well, I did not have it yesterday from Mr Rampton.
23 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Did you not? Well, I got something.
24 MR IRVING: It is difficult to obtain, but that is the works of
25it, in what is called HTML.
26 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Having looked through it, whilst we are on
1this, it did appear to me that whatever their titles may
2be, they are mostly Jewish organisations of one kind or
4 MR IRVING: My Lord, that is not correct. If you look at the
5list, there are 16 items, of which seven are not, if I can
6put it like that.
7 MR RAMPTON: I do not think we have 16.
8 MR IRVING: That is precisely why your Lordship should be
9looking at my pull-down menu rather than the one given to
10you. Shall I read through them?
11 MR JUSTICE GRAY: I do not think that would serve any
12particularly useful purpose.
13 MR IRVING: No. But your Lordship will notice the Australian
14Government, the Centre for Democratic Renewal, the
15Coalition for Human Dignity, the German Government.
16 MR RAMPTON: There are only two I think that are not Jewish, my
18 MR IRVING: Searchlight ----
19 MR RAMPTON: Two National Governments.
20 MR IRVING: Well, Mr Rampton, if you would just allow me to
21finish reading out those that are not Jewish that are on
22the list?
23 MR JUSTICE GRAY: You read out the ones you say are not Jewish.
24 MR IRVING: I will start again. Australian Government, Centre
25for Democratic Renewal.
26 MR RAMPTON: That is Jewish.
1 MR IRVING: I beg your pardon?
2 MR RAMPTON: It is Jewish.
3 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Let him read them, Mr Rampton, then we can
4debate it further, if needs be.
5 MR IRVING: Coalition for Human Dignity, the German Government,
6Searchlight, and Surf Watch Internet Censorship.
7 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Yes.
8 MR IRVING: Each of those, if you would click on that, you
9would come to a subindex, my Lord, which has the actual
10documents which qualified for inclusion in the list of
11enemies of free speech.
12 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Yes. I think this is in a way dicing with
13words because I have actually got the indices supplied
14yesterday. It appears to me, without knowing in detail
15what the individual items on the indices are, that really
16all of these organizations, there is a great deal of
17interplay, put it like that, between these organizations
18and what you would, perhaps, describe as the Jewish
19lobby. Is that not fair?
20 MR IRVING: In some of the documents quite clearly there is, in
21some of the documents listed on the index, and, obviously,
22I then have to make the point that this is a website which
23has been set up in response to the attack on me.
24 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Yes, I follow.
25 MR IRVING: So, clearly, this is not a global attempt to
26address all the world enemies of free speech when,
1undoubtedly, you bring in the Chinese Government and all
2sorts of other ghastly organizations, but these are the
3bodies that have impinged on my professional career. That
4is why they figure on my personal list of traditional
5enemies of free speech.
6 MR JUSTICE GRAY: I follow that. I think I interrupted
7Mr Rampton. Did you want to add anything?
8 MR RAMPTON: I was just going to say, Mr Irving has identified
9as being not Jewish I think four that, in fact, are
10Jewish. The only two that are not that we can tell are
11the Australian and the German governments.
12 MR IRVING: Perhaps you should say which of the four that you
13consider are Jewish.
14 MR RAMPTON: All the rest are Jewish.
15 MR IRVING: Centre for Democratic Renewal?
16 MR RAMPTON: Yes.
17 MR IRVING: A Jewish body?
18 MR RAMPTON: Yes -- so I am told.
19 MR JUSTICE GRAY: We may or may not come back to that at some
20later stage. Let us leave it for the moment. I cannot
21actually find my bundle F.
22 MR IRVING: I asked your clerk, my Lord, this morning to put
23the fresh documents into it.
24 MR JUSTICE GRAY: I then think I said not for the time being
25until I know that is what everybody thinks is right.
26 MR IRVING: Your Lordship will need bundle F9, in fact.

CORPUS CHRISTI – The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi Tennis teams piled up victories on Saturday at the Thomas J. Henry Tennis Center on the second day of the Marco & Co. Catering Islanders Open. In a strong draw that included Houston, UTSA, Lamar, Sam Houston State, Texas – Pan American and Texas A&M – Kingsville, the Islanders had dominant performances to earn both sports in the men's final and three of the final four spots in the women's singles bracket.
Men's players Peter Nagy and Matt Westmoreland advanced to the finals of their bracket to setup an All-Islanders final while Stefania Nicolae, Maider Martin and Sandra Burges make up all but one spot of the semifinals in the women's bracket. Burges and Chelsea Horan are also into the women's doubles finals at the tournament.
"I thought our team competed very well today as a whole," said Director of Tennis Steve Moore. "This was our first official competition, so we have a lot to improve on, but the things we can control, like our effort and our attitude, was very strong.
"I thought Matt Westmoreland and Peter Nagy played very focused matches today. They've both improved a tremendous amount from last spring, and it looks like they worked incredibly hard this summer."
In men's singles, Nagy cruised to a 6-0, 6-0 win to advance to the finals. Westmoreland won his match against Tyler Brown of UTSA by a 6-2, 6-2 score to setup a faceoff between two teammates. Since it is an All-Islanders final, the match will be moved to a 7 p.m. start on Tuesday night at the Thomas J. Henry Tennis Center.
"We think we will have an electric event Tuesday night at 7 p.m., with a chance to do something really rare if we have two Islander girls in the women's singles final." said Moore.
Women's singles has an even bigger Islanders presence, with three players comprising the final four of the bracket after Saturday evening. Burges won 6-4, 6-0 in her first match of the day, and came back for a 6-1, 6-2 final over her opponent from Sam Houston State. Newcomer Maider Martin also advanced the semifinals, winning 6-1, 6-0 over teammate Ashley Garza before taking a 7-5, 6-2 final over Charlotte Phillips from Houston.
In the lower part of the draw, Leanne Mascall won 6-3, 6-2 in her opening match of the day before falling 6-2, 6-4 against Masa Kazimieruk of Houston in the quarterfinals.
The bottom quarter of the bracket saw teammates face each other after Horan won 6-2, 5-7, 10-6 against Carolina Maso of Lamar to setup a match against Nicolae, who won earlier by a 6-1, 6-4 final against new Islanders player Venesa Figueroa. In the match between Nicolae and Horan, defending champion Nicolae got the better of the battle, winning 6-4, 6-4 to advance to the semifinals.
"This was a very deep field in the women's draw with some very good teams, and I really thought all of our girls showed a lot of heart in the way they competed," said Moore. "Sandra, Stefania and Maider all making the semifinals is a strong showing for us, while Chelsea Horan and Leanne Mascall also played very good matches to reach the quarterfinals."
In women's doubles action, Burges and Horan won 8-3 against Phillips and Kazimieruk of Houston and then beat Natalie Petaia and Sheridam Currie of Sam Houston State by a 9-7 score in the lower half of the bracket to advance to the finals.
"We have a lot of work to do, but I love the way this team competed today and really lifted each other up like a true team," said Moore. "The rain made this a very long day again, arriving before 8 a.m. after not leaving until 12:30 a.m. last night, but I didn't see any long faces from any of these guys or girls.
"They played with a lot of spirit and had a lot of bounce in their step, which is their choice when things don't go perfect, and I'm proud of them for that."
Play will resume at 9 a.m. on Sunday at the Thomas J. Henry Tennis Center.

NEW ORLEANS -- Ahmad Brooks never asked his dad what it was like to play in a Super Bowl. Nor can he now.
Perry Brooks, a defensive tackle on two Super Bowl teams with the Washington Redskins, passed away from a heart attack March 1, 2010. It was Ahmad who discovered his father's body in his parents' Woodbridge, Va., home.
Sitting in the Superdome's stands during Tuesday's media session, Ahmad Brooks reflected back on his father's career with the Washington Redskins, from 1977-84. The Redskins beat the Miami Dolphins in Super Bowl XVII in the strike-shortened 1982 season, and they fell to the Raiders in Super Bowl XVIII.
"I just looked at him as dad, and not as a football player," said Brooks, who'll start at left outside linebacker for the 49ers in Sunday's Super Bowl XLVII.
During his childhood, Ahmad Brooks did find himself admiring his father's Super Bowl ring, which is now kept safe by his mother, Vergie.
"I took it to school one time," Brooks recalled. "I was in first grade and we had show and tell.
"My father was looking for it all day. I made sure I didn't lose it. I ended up putting it back in the jewelry box."
Now in his seventh season, Brooks has started every game for the 49ers, and he helped clinch the NFC Championship by knocking down a key third-down pass to thwart an Atlanta Falcons' drive in the 49ers' 28-24 win Jan. 20.
Brooks injured his left shoulder earlier that game, hurting his AC joint while colliding with diminutive but surprisingly powerful running back Jacquizz Rodgers. Brooks missed two days of practice last week but will certainly play Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens.
"It's time to bring the Lombardi Trophy back to San Francisco," Brooks said. "And I'd love to have that diamond ring." If he does, the Brooks family would join Bob and Brian Griese in that rare club featuring a father and son who've won Super Bowls.
Last week, coach Jim Harbaugh echoed defensive coordinator Vic Fangio's declaration that the 49ers' smartest offseason move was to re-sign Brooks before he hit free agency in March. Brooks returned at the tune of six years, $44.5 million with $17.5 million guaranteed.
"Last year, I was working for a contract and to be a starter," Brooks said. "This year, I stayed in San Jose and trained all offseason for this moment right here."

9 Ways to Keep Your Hair Healthy
Makeup worn during exercise should be oil-free so that your skin can breathe. Oil-based products tend to trap the sweat under your makeup, which can cause it to smear. Even worse, you could end up with a zit or two as a result.

Hydrating your skin is important, especially since your body is losing a lot of water as you sweat.
The American Academy of Dermatology says if you're prone to breakouts, oil-based moisturizers can cause acne, whiteheads, and blackheads. So be sure to look for a lightweight moisturizer to help replenish skin that's water-based like this one here.

On average, frequently active people live two years longer than their sedate counterparts; they are as fit as someone ten-years-younger; and exercise
releases endorphins causing a sense of well-being, pain relief and a reduction in stress.
If all commutes in England under five miles were completed on bike / foot instead of car it would save enough CO2 to heat 17,000 houses per week. A 20% increase in current cycling levels could save the
economy £207m in terms of reduced traffic congestion and £71m in terms of lower pollution.
Stress related illnesses cost £14million working days a year and commuting is a main contributor - an
estimated 20% increase in active travel would save the UK £87million in reduced absenteeism. There's an
average ROI of between £1-6 in benefits for every £1 spent on cycling.
Research shows that those who are active see an average productivity boost of 12.5% and have significantly fewer sickness days than those who are not. Healthy employees are also 47% more alert and make 27% fewer errors than those who are inactive.Productivity
Over two-thirds of employers consider gamification an effective strategy for encouraging their employees to improve their health and more than 30% of employers intend to adopt a health-focused gamified strategy in the next year - with organisational engagement shown to increase up to 48%.Gamification
93% of CEOs of the world's top 1,000 companies
believe that engaged and healthy staff will be critical to their businesses' future success; and 88% of Generation Y, or "millennials," choose employers based on strong staff engagement and CR values.

|(D) Irving's misrepresen... >>
(C) Irving's suppression, misrepresentation and misunderstanding of the sources: the Goebbels diary entry of 30 May 1942
1. Another document cited by Irving in support of his claim that Hitler was deceived by Goebbels and others about the true nature of the deportations to the East, is Goebbels's diary entry of 30 May 1942. Goebbels here noted:
Thus I plead once again for a more radical Jewish policy, whereby I am just pushing at an open door with the Führer...The Germans only ever take part in subversive movements when the Jews seduce them into it. Therefore one must liquidate the Jewish danger, cost what it will...Therefore the Führer also does not wish at all for the Jews to be evacuated to Siberia. There, under the harshest living conditions, they would undoubtedly form an element of vitality once more. He would rather settle them in central Africa. There they live in a climate that would surely not render them strong and capable of resistance. In any case it is the Führer's aim to make West Europe completely Jew-free. Here they will not be allowed to have any home any more.57
2. Once more, Goebbels characterises Hitler as being in favour of a more radical policy against the Jews - a fact which Irving suppresses in his account of this Goebbels diary entry.58 As Goebbels knew by this time that 'resettlement' meant that the Jews were being exterminated in the East (as proven by his diary entry of 27 March 1942), it is inconceivable that he would have characterised Hitler as a radical, if Hitler had in reality only aimed to push the Jews out of Europe. This characterisation of Hitler as a radical makes sense only if Hitler, as has previously been noted, also knew that 'pushing the Jews out of Europe' meant killing them when they got to the East.
3. So how can we explain Hitler's reference to the evacuation of Jews to Siberia and Africa? As has been noted above, the 'final solution' went through various stages. In summer 1940, leading Nazi officials were seriously considering deporting Jews to the island of Madagascar. By spring 1941, Nazi officials such as Heydrich apparently advanced a plan for the 'final solution' which involved the transport the Jews 'to the East' into the territory of the Soviet Union, once it had been defeated by Germany. There, they would slowly die of hunger, or be worked to death. One area apparently envisaged at the time as a possible destination for the Jews was Siberia.59
4. In the following 12 months, this plan for a Jewish reservation was increasingly superseded by the escalating mass murder of first the Eastern European Jews, and then the Central and Western European Jews. But, as the historian Peter Longerich has argued,
one must proceed on the assumption that even those who were involved in mass murder up to the period May-June 1942 believed that the "real" "final solution" would only take place after the end of the war and that the murders taking place before then were only "provisional" measures, "anticipatory" measures to the "final solution".60
5. This distinction between the ongoing extermination of the Jews in the East, and a long-term 'final solution' (which was expected to take place after the war), is also evident in Goebbels's record of Hitler's views on 30 May 1942. On the one hand, Goebbels characterised Hitler's attitude as very radical, at a time when Jews were already being 'transported off to the East' as Hitler had stated many times, and killed there. On the other hand, Hitler was still talking about some vague long-term plan (note his reference to the Jews in western Europe) which might take place sometime in the future, in this case mentioning Central Africa as a destination.
6. These considerations, which never took on any more concrete forms, however are not evidence that Hitler did not know of the extermination programme in the East. Rather, they are testament to his belief that the 'real' 'final solution' was not yet fully under way. To cite Peter Longerich again: 'Only in the spring and early summer of 1942 did the realisation slowly come through that the "Final Solution" would take place during the war: it finally became clear which means would be chosen to achieve the "Final Solution".'61
57. 'Ich plädiere also noch einmal für eine radikalere Judenpolitik, womit ich beim Führer nur offene Türen einrenne...Die Deutschen beteiligen sich an subversiven Bewegungen immer nur, wenn die Juden sie dazu verführen. Deshalb muß man die jüdische Gefahr liquidiern, koste es was es wolle...Deshalb wünscht der Führer auch gar nicht, daß die Juden nach Sibirien evakuiert werden. Dort unter härtesten Lebensbedingungen wüden sie zweifellos wieder ein lebenskräftiges Element darstellen. Er möchte sie lieber nach Zentralafrika ansiedeln. Dort leben sie in einem Klima, das sie gewiß nicht stark und widerstandsfähig macht. Jedenfalls ist es das Ziel des Führers, Westeuropa gänzlich judenfrei zu machen. Hier dürfen sie keine Heimstätte mehr haben'; E. Fröhich (ed.), die Tagebücher von Joseph Goebbels, Teil II, Vol. 4 (Munich, 1966), p. 406.
