Preparation time: 30 minutes
Cooking time: 30 minutes
Serves: 8-10
9 large potatoes(russet)
2 medium cooking onions
9 eggs
9 radishes
2 tsp.salt
4 capfuls of vinegar
10 tbsp.Miracle Whip
10 tbsp. Hellmans Mayonnaise
Peel Potatos and slice into half lengthwise,then take the half and slice that lengthwise. Cut opposite way into cubes. About 2 1/2 inch cubes.
Rinse under cold water and drain 3x to prevent foaming. Place on high heat on large element and boil without lid. When the potato is soft when pricked with a fork it is ready to be drained. Place into a large salad bowl and sprinkle with 1 tsp. salt and 2 capfuls of vinegar. Toss gently.
You can place the 9 eggs on to boil after you place the potatos on. When placing the eggs in a medium sized pot wait till small bubbles form then turn to medium-high and set timer for 7 minutes.
Remove after 7 minutes and rinse under cold water a few times. After potatos are tossed in salad bowl you may peel and rinse off the boiled eggs in case there is any bit of shell left on it.
Slice and mix into the potatos. It is okay if the eggs get crushed while thoroughly tossing it. That's what we want. Now add the rest of salt and toss,then add the 2 capfuls of vinegar sprinkling all over. Gently toss.
Now rinse radishes and sliver them and add to bowl tossing it gently.
Peel and cut your onion in half. Now slice it very thin lengthwise.Add and toss.
Chill covered for 2 hours. Then take the miracle Whip and dump the 10 tbsps. on top. Do the same with the Hellmans dumping it on top of the Whip.
Swirl the tablespoon around and then gently fold it into the salad. Chill till ready to serve. Tastes better when it stands overnight.You can mix the Mayo and whip in a seperate bowl if you prefer. I just do it this way cause I hate xtra dishes.

CHARLOTTETOWN—The Crown says the psychiatric assessment of a Charlottetown woman accused of causing the death of two infants is complete.
Shannon Dawn Rayner is facing two counts of infanticide in separate incidents in 2014 and 2016, as well as two counts of failing to seek assistance in child birth and two counts of disposing of a child's body with intent to conceal the fact it had been delivered.
Prosecutor Valerie Moore says Rayner appeared in court on Friday with her lawyer Thane MacEachern, where he requested an adjournment.
The case is scheduled to return to court on April 9.
There had been several delays in completion of the assessment.
Court documents say the offences allegedly took place between Nov. 16 and 18, 2016, and between Feb. 1 and 28, 2014.
The documents allege that in both cases, Rayner put the bodies in bags before placing them in a waste bin.
It says the babies died "within a short time" of birth.

Stem Cell Therapy
The main purpose of stem cell transplantation in cancer treatment is to make it possible for patients to receive very high doses of chemotherapy and/or radiation. High dose chemotherapy and radiation can severely damage or destroy your bone marrow while killing cancer cells. Without healthy bone marrow, your body is no longer able to make the blood cells needed to prevent infection, bleeding, and carry oxygen. Stem cell transplants replace the stem cells destroyed by high dose cancer treatment allowing your bone marrow to produce healthy cells.
There are 3 types of stem cell transplants:
Autologous Stem Cell Transplants
In autologous stem cell transplants, you are your own donor. Your bone marrow or peripheral blood stem cells are taken from you (harvested), frozen until needed, then given back to you (transplanted) after you have received high doses of chemotherapy, radiation or both to destroy your cancer cells.
Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplants
The allogeneic stem cell transplant is when your bone marrow and immune system are replaced with new, healthy bone marrow or peripheral blood stem cells from another person. Traditionally, most allogeneic stem cell transplants have been performed using stem cells from the bone marrow, but the use of peripheral blood stem cells is increasing.
Syngeneic Stem Cell Transplants
In a syngeneic stem cell transplant, you receive stem cells from your identical twin. Since identical twins represent a small number of births, syngeneic transplantation is rare. Because identical twins have the same genes, they also have the same set of HLA (human leukocyte associated) antigens. As a result, there is less chance of the transplant being rejected.

Honda City helped make these videos
We are still working to obtain content for your car, however the video above is believed to have similar characteristics as your car.
Adding engine coolant (also known as antifreeze) to your 2016 Ford Edge is pretty easy. Engine coolant circulates through your engine to keep it cool in the summer but won't freeze in the winter. Make sure to check your engine when it is cold for an accurate reading. The video above shows you where the coolant reservoir in your Edge is located and how to add coolant. Be sure to check your owners manual to determine the correct type of fluid to add - for Fords, it will typically be in a section titled Fluid Capacities in the back of your manual. Mix the coolant with distilled water so that you have a combination of 50% coolant and 50% water. Some coolants will come premixed...that is, you don't need to add any water. These coolants will typically say 50/50 or pre-mixed on the front of the coolant bottle.
Removing the coolant reservoir cap on a warm engine could cause the cap to fly off at a high rate of speed and fluid to spray out of the reservoir. Always wear safety goggles when working on your Edge. Promptly wipe up any spilled fluid as it is highly toxic. Animals love its sweet taste, so even a spilling a small amount on your garage floor can end up in the dog's stomach pretty quickly. If you notice an oily surface in your coolant, immediately have your mechanic inspect your Edge for head gasket leakage

Winter damage to trees and shrubs
Horticulture Hints
The first thing one can do to help prevent winter injury to trees and shrubs is to remove any snow that may pile up after each significant snowfall. This helps to prevent snow building up to dangerously heavy loads which can cause bending and breaking of branches. Evergreens are especially at risk for winter damage, as snow readily collects in the needles. Be sure to brush the snow off, rather than shaking the branches, as shaking can also cause branch breakage. If the branches are coated in ice, let the ice melt naturally to avoid further damage.
If branches do break due to the weight of ice or snow, remove the branches as soon as weather permits. A clean cut will heal better rather than leaving a torn branch edge.
Arborvitae is a shrub notorious for receiving winter damage, as the cold, dry weather dehydrates the foliage, turning it a light or medium brown color. If only the foliage is killed, the plant should recover and leaf out again in the spring. In severe dehydration cases, the foliage and smaller twigs will die. As the dehydration worsens, more and more of the plant is killed and will need to be replaced. In windy locations, a wind barrier made of burlap helps to reduce the risk of dehydration. Anti-transpirant sprays can also be used to help prevent moisture loss.
Did you know? Plants are not affected by wind chill temperatures, but rather the actual temperature reading. Wind chill temperatures indicate how wind and cold actually feel on exposed skin. Animals and people are affected by wind chill; however, plants and other objects are not.

Encounter in Delhi, snatcher gang busted
Wednesday - October 23, 2019 10:04 am , Category : INDIA
New Delhi, Oct 23 (IANS) Sounds of gun shots broke the silence of early Wednesday morning in the heart of the national capital as the Delhi Police nabbed a group of snatchers from the Connaught Place area.A gang of four criminals on motorbikes asked to stop by the police opened fire. In the return fire, Delhi Police claims two accused were injured of the three held.It was a relief for the city police, who have been facing a lot of flak for the rising number of crimes in the national capital.The police team chased down a group of criminals in a bid to crack a racket of snatchers prowling in Delhi for several weeks. The gang was involved in the phone snatching incident of an air commodore when he was cycling back from gym.The group of four robbers opened fire at the police team near the Shankar Market. "The 3 criminals arrested have been identified as Salim, Ismail and Saud. Salim and Ismail have been taken to a hospital after they suffered bullet injuries in the encounter," a senior Delhi Police official said.After the air commodore, the very next day again the gang snatched a bicycle and iPhone from another victim.

Graphite Nanoplatelet Filler-Modified Polyurethane Nanocomposites for Thermal Transport Enhancement
- Author / Creator
- Akram, Usama
The use of polymers in applications such as electronic packaging, heat exchangers, and thermal pastes is limited by their inability to dissipate accumulated heat effectively. Nano-scale filler modifiers may be used to improve the transport of thermal energy through polymer materials. Studies of thermally-enhanced polymer nanocomposites have shown minimal enhancement by filler addition due to the presence of an interfacial or Kapitza resistance caused by phonon mismatch. In this study, a graphite nanoplatelet (GNP) filler modifier was added to polyurethane (PU) that is typically used in high wear applications. Due to PU's low thermal conductivity of 0.2 W/m-K, accumulated heat can cause degradation and early failure. A specialized curing chamber, allowing for the application of heat and high vacuum pressure was used to produce high quality nanocomposite specimens with minimal void content. GNP-PU specimens modified with up to 4% GNP filler weight content were produced through solution blending. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis performed on the specimens to investigate filler dispersion suggested that no intercalation or exfoliation of the nanofillers had occurred. The bulk thermal conductivity of the filler-modified PU specimens was tested using the hot disk method. A linear enhancement trend, reaching a maximum bulk conductivity value of 0.43 W/m-K, with no percolating behavior, was observed for the thermal conductivity of the GNP-PU modified nanocomposite. These experimental values were found upon comparison to be in agreement with results of second-order analytical models based on the series model. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was performed to measure the specific heat capacity of the test specimens for anisotropic hot disk testing. Results of anisotropic hot disk testing showed a higher in-plane thermal conductivity value as compared to thermal conductivity in the through-thickness direction in all modified specimens. Further compression testing and hot disk analysis at various probing depths suggested filler alignment in the in-plane direction as well as GNP settlement at the base of the nanocomposite specimens.

What's Your Elevator Pitch
You Must Have An Elevator Pitch
(20 seconds to 2 min. of content, to excite and describe your business effectively or the dream job)
1. Clarify your job target.
As Yogi Berra famously said, "You've got to be very careful if you don't know where you're going, because you might not get there."
So when you begin putting an elevator pitch together, nail down the best way to describe your field and the type of job you're pursuing. Until you can clearly explain the type of position you want, nobody can help you find it or hire you to do it.
2. Put it on paper
Write down everything you'd want a prospective employer to know about your skills, accomplishments and work experiences that are relevant to your target position. Then grab a red pen and mercilessly delete everything that's not critical to your pitch.
Keep editing until you've got the speech down to a few key bullet points or sentences. Your goal is to interest the listener in learning more, not to tell your whole life story. So remove extraneous details that detract from your core message.
3. Format it
A good pitch should answer three questions: Who are you? What do you do? What are you looking for?
(MORE: Job Interview Advice Older Women Don't Want to Hear)
Here's an example of how to begin a pitch that includes the essentials: "Hi. I am Jessica Hill. I am an accountant with 10 years experience in the insurance industry and I'm looking for opportunities in the Dallas area with both insurance and finance companies."
That speech would take about 15 seconds. Jessica would then want to use her next 15 seconds to add details about her unique selling proposition, special skills and specific ways she could help a potential employer.
4. Tailor the pitch to them, not you.
It's important to remember that the people listening to your speech will have their antennas tuned to WIFM (What's in It for Me?) So be sure to focus your message on their needs.
For example, this introduction: "I am a human resources professional with 10 years experience working for consumer products companies." The pitch would be more powerful if you said, "I am a human resources professional with a strong track record in helping to identify and recruit top-level talent into management."
Using benefit-focused terminology will help convince an interviewer that you have the experience, savvy and skills to get the job done at his or her business.
5. Eliminate industry jargon.
You need to make your pitch easy for anyone to understand, so avoid using acronyms and tech-speak that the average person or job interviewer might not understand.
The last thing you want to do is make your listener feel stupid or uninformed.
6. Read your pitch out loud.
As Fast Company's Deborah Grayson Riegel recently pointed out in her article "The Problem With Your Elevator Pitch and How to Fix It," writing is more formal and structured than speaking. If you're not careful, your elevator pitch can come off sounding more like an infomercial than a conversation.
The primary reason why people want to do business--because they connect with you. Not with your pitch, but with you.
Here Are 5 Tips To Sound Like A Real Person:
Don't speak the way you write. "I help individuals, couples, and families make sound financial plans so that they don't outlive their money" may read well on a website, but doesn't sound the way people really talk. When speaking, you might start with, "I'm a financial planner, and I make sure my clients don't outlive their money." Much more compelling, genuine and even fun.
Utilize common vernacular (aka, use the simplest language possible). Your organization's mission statement may talk about serving "the growing population of at-risk adolescents" but most people would say "kids who are at risk" in regular conversation. So say that.
Turn your pitch into a question. If you're a professional organizer, ask "You know that pile of papers you've got somewhere in your house that you've been meaning to get through? As a professional organizer, I help people finally get through it."
Practice saying your pitch out loud, with feedback. Rehearse it until it sounds completely unrehearsed (ironic, but important), and then get feedback on how "real" you sound rather than how "polished" you come across.
Be willing to forgo your pitch entirely. If you're already making a warm connection with someone and they ask you what you do, don't risk bringing a cold pitch into the conversation. Just say what you do--and more importantly, find out what the other person does and show genuine curiosity about them. Watch closely and listen deeply and learn to respond with care and understanding. Go Forth!
REHEARSE 50-100 Times
Rehearse your pitch out loud – 50-100 times – in front of a mirror or to a mentor, friends and family. You want to make sure you include every important point and that your pitch is on time. That said, don't try to memorize your pitch verbatim – you want it to sound natural.
When the conversation has ended, make sure your listener has your contact information. An eye-catching business card can serve as an effective reminder of what your business offers long after you've parted ways.
Thanks for Visiting. . . Peace to you!

5 Steps To Self Talk That Will Transform You
By Lance Wallnau/ co-writer Eliza Dukes
Self Talk, One of the most powerful factors in personal transformation is SELF TALK!
If, as the Bible states, you are "transformed by the renewing of your mind," how you think and what you say to yourself have to both be top factors in your transformation.
So where do we begin?
First, we need AWARENESS! The mischief regarding self talk is that it is so constant we seldom are aware we are doing it. You won't always catch it, but you can be aware of how it makes you feel. Your emotions are wired to your thoughts – they are linked into a cause and effect sequence. As Paul wrote to the Romans: "The mind that is set on the flesh is death, but the mind that is set on the Spirit is life and peace."
So here are 5 steps that you can use:
1. When in an extreme negative state of feeling, ask…"What am I saying to myself right now?" Get clear on the thought or belief that you hold about yourself, others, or the situation in mind.
2. Ask – "Can I be absolutely certain that what I believe is true? How do I know?" Does what you are thinking actually line up with the Word of God? If not, what should you change? Again, if it's the truth that sets you free, it's a lie that holds you captive. What's the lie at the root of this? Is there a subtle insinuation that "You are not enough?" or "You will not be loved?" or "You will lose something you value"? How do you know this is true?
3. Does this thought or attitude serve your ultimate best interests? Does it make you happy, calm, and fulfilled?
4. Does this attitude or belief get you more of what you want, need, and deserve? Is it taking you into your desired future, or is it leading you into circumstances that you don't want?
5. MY FAVORITE STEP…… Since we all pretty much create our own meaning for things, what could you come up with as a new meaning for this situation? What new attitude or new belief could you create that would make this an exciting and positive experience for you?
THIS last step is the practice of "Over-comers"! They work with the problem until they unearth the empowering belief that re-frames it.
As the researcher Napoleon Hill discovered, every adversity carries within it the seeds of an equivalent or GREATER benefit of SUCCESS.
Thanks to you Dr. Lance Wallnau at lancelearning.com for your words of wisdom and powe.

STOP Confusion!
The Enemy Will Always TRY To Confuse You
The number one lie:
YOU ARE NOT READY YET! Do not listen to this voice. Remember – if it's the truth that sets you free, then it's a lie that holds you captive. The lie you must overcome is that you need more preparation, money, time, experience, or confirmation. Look at the business graph I attached. The dotted line is your track and the solid line is the opportunity.
1. At first, you sense an opportunity. Your spirit gets a glimpse of something.
2. The moment arrives where you need to take action, see what works and what does not work and make adjustments.
3. You are over thinking, waiting to be certain, looking for confirmation. Over-analysis leads to uncertainty and the state of uncertainty opens the door to confusion as you entertain too many voices and ideas.
4. Failing to take action, you come down into a "wait and see" position and watch for the moment to step into action – and miss the window.
What you needed to do is assess the situation and the opportunity and TAKE ACTION: run a pilot, test your assumptions, get in the game, take some sort of action and adapt and increase engagement! You will never feel fully ready because where you are going is always larger than where you have been. Learn this – GOD REWARDS RISK MORE THAN CAUTION! The parable Jesus taught about the talents is often misunderstood. The servant who feared making a mistake was punished and the servant who was aggressive about increasing market share for the Master was rewarded. Faith involves risk. BEWARE the confusion that breeds uncertainty when the time comes to ACT!
Because of Obama Care Companies are forced to provide healthcare to everyone that works 25 hours or more. Since these companies like the one you work for want to cut healthcare cost, they will cut employees hours . Where does that leave you and your family? Do you have a Plan B? Have you thought about another stream of income? What is your ACTION PLAN if your hours are cut or your laid off? Think about it and leave a comment. . . . Downsizing will become the standard for American Companies!
Less Hours, Less Pay, Less Freedom!

No Strings Attached to Kindness
ACTS of Kindness have, No strings Attached." These strings forward others to embrace God's love as a result. Because we represent love, peace, joy all actions are impactful on many different levels. The "No Strings Attached" means is not to expect any personal gain, in doing acts of kindness. If you don't get a good response, SEED OF GOODNESS, are still sowed on your behalf. Rest, believe and do not pluck up those good seeds with negative attitudes or response....THINK you did your part, now let God increase the blessings in that person. (If you do respond negatively, STOP and ask GOD's forgiveness & that person nicely) Being mindful of this, helps disregard the pressures to respond selfishly. This act of kindness will allow a "Spiritual Attitude of Humility," to rise and enforce Godly Authority and allow His peace to settle you.
What does this mean daily? Everyday, in every situation we're challenged with choosing to be kind or evil. It's just plain and simple. Ask yourself, "which seeds am I, growing the most, in my life. Knowing you and I plant seeds of goodness or seeds of evil each day. Each seed get watered and are far-reaching beyond our comprehension. Yet, our doing is revealing good and evil manifestations everywhere we look and don't want to look. We see the state of this world in glimpses on television, internet, our neighborhoods and individual homes.
Let's Investigate:
• Attitudes when your tired or? (Where do you draw from to get revived)
• Unconscious Drivers (those on cell phones and running lights, #1 cutting you off)
• At home before and after work, (un-grateful loved ones)
• JOB or Business meetings (those who irritate you, racism, disrespect on que),
• People Personalities (Ignorance aim at you, gossipers, complainers)
• Waiting in long lines (avoiding them, procrastination and excuses)
• Running Late (a personal struggle, infecting many areas and whatever else comes to mind?)
Looking up, what pictures do your seeds film, when you examine your daily course of actions? How conscious are you, when displaying verbal and non-verbal actions. Do you ignore the warning signs, that uncion from the Holy Spirit speaking inside you, please ask yourself, now?
When you spend time in God's presence (reading, worshiping and listening for Him) you experience His loving kindness. You receive more healing, you get revived, renewed, refreshed and fulfilled. From this joyful experience, you can go forth empowered, to sow this same loving kindness. Because of God's love for you and His graciousness, He imparted into you to prosper and be in health even your attitude towards self and others. " You Know, You Do, but, You Don't Do, You Don't Really Know!
BUT, if you did not experience God's presence( moody, no patience, mouth out of control, emoitionally drained, lonely, etc.) then you are operating on low or empty in the flesh. Now your patience and consciousness towards love and kindness compromised. Your radar is not in Spiritual Mindset zone. Your radar is in danger zone. And the enemy is watching to challenge all of your weakness.
Small actions and non-verbal actions count big. We as sensitive ladies, can simply smile at each other, this kind act of approval, sends a signal of peace and acceptance. Actively making eye to eye contact, acknowledging one another, may be the action step that saves someone's life in a powerful way. Love and kindness are best friends! Do your part to think and respond appropriately with thoughts and acts of loving kindness. Sow much more love and kindness today and every day!
"Go Forth, Shine in Peace with Loving Kindness!

Meditation Replenishes Strength!
Taking time to say words that generate peace is one great way, I start my day. As I awaken to a new day, my body tries to tell me, how to feel and my mind tries to decide, what to do and not to do, this is my daily quest. Immediately, I decide to take control of these emotions and thoughts, doing what's best for me. As I start stretching, I can feel the pressures being released, in each groan. Now, my mind and body begin to embrace this simple pleasure. Don't get it twisted, just try it for yourself. Stretch gently and slowly, your arms & legs stretching straight as you lay in the bed. It will do wonders and help release toxins to eliminate waste. Remember to take it slow and do a little at a time. Stretching and breathing deep, will relax you within.
Thoughts pour in, I begin to speak words to over power, every negative thought, I disagree with. I SAY "I will prevail today in all things as Christ's anointing makes me strong, I am powerful and wise to overcome each challenge, today. I continue to SAY this, over and over again, until peace fills me! BAM!
Peace starts flowing into my mind because my thoughts are connecting to the source of my strength. Now, I can breathe deeper, think clearer, stand stronger. My mind, body and soul are working as one. This morning routine allows me to enjoy every second of this exercise. Find inspirational scriptures that give wisdom, power, healing and peace....Try it tomorrow, you'll love it :-)
Please leave comments about the morning steps you make priority, that encourage you daily.
I hope my Blog, has enlightened you,

Insurance Quotes And The Factors That Affect Your Coverage
If you're like most drivers, you're looking to get the best Insurance Quote you possibly can. Some people can end up paying well over $1,000 annually for a single vehicle. If you have multiple vehicles, you're likely feeling the pain of auto insurance premiums. You need to know that there are a number of factors insurance companies consider when they calculate your coverage quotes and expenses. Let's take a look at some of the factors you may and may not be able to control.
The two things you'll have an almost impossible chance of effecting are your age and gender. These two factors are taken into account by all insurance companies. Teenage drivers and most drivers in their early 20s tend to see the highest quotes. Statistics have shown that drivers in these categories tend to run the risk of having more accidents. When it comes to gender, men tend to see higher quotes as well. Insurance companies have determined that male drivers have a tendency to take more risks than female drivers. As a result, male drivers under the age of about 25 see almost unfairly high insurance rates.
One of the things you can control is the kind of car you drive. Everything from the make and model of your vehicle to its safety features can affect an Insurance Quote. Some vehicles are known for being safer on the road than others. Insurance companies pay careful attention to those vehicles that received awards for being safe and protective. If you want to pay less for your auto insurance, you might want to consider a vehicle that's safe. If you insist on driving a super fast sports car that's known for being dangerous on the road, you'll likely have to pay more to have it insured.
As you can see, there are a number of elements that can play a factor in your insurance costs. It's best not to pay more than you have to for insurance. Talk to a representative from Olsommer-Clarke Insurance Group Inc. in order to find the coverage that's right for you. There are a number of insurance options out there for you to choose from.

When it comes to revamping your wardrobe you need to look at some of the new ranges available from designer labels. You'll probably be aware of all the big names, but what about trying a brand that's just that little bit different?
For men in Australia who want a great selection of men's shirts, trousers and other clothing, all made to a high standard from the best material and available in a range of colours, styles and sizes, we recommend you check out Jac+Jack, a brand now recognised around the world, and one that promises some truly wonderful designs – and more.

Although this piece focuses on the men's clothing range, they also offer an excellent selection of products for women, with the same focus on style and quality, and the attention to detail is every bit as impressive as with the men's range.
Full Range of Choices
If you're looking for a full new outfit we reckon you can find everything you need at Jac+Jack, and with an easy to browse and simple to use website and online store, you can buy what you need at your fingertips, with safety and security guaranteed.

Rootball, Wolstonbury Hill, a photo by tubb on Flickr.
Via Flickr:
Mamiya 7ii, Mamiya 43mm f/4.5L, Ilford Pan F+, Rodinal 1:50
Pre-exposure to loosen the contrast in the shadows on Zone 1. Geek-tastic – this means you give it two exposures, one much much less that the other, which changes the exposure in the shadows a lot but kind of leaves the highlights alone. It seems to have done what I wanted.
Yes, sorry, the tree thing maybe getting out of hand. I am considering changing my Flickr handle to Ent-hunter. But it is such a pleasant photographic experience out there in the hills beyond Brighton, and it's so crowded in town.
I'm planning a swing back to colour in the autumn. Maybe back to my industrial roots.

The Kaplan Centre at the University of Cape Town and the Institute for Jewish Policy Research (JPR) in London will be carrying out a survey of South Africa's Jewish community in 2019.
The nationwide Jewish Community Survey of South Africa will be the first such study for 14 years. It will gather data on Jewish life in South Africa which will be used by community planners and service providers to ensure a vibrant, Jewish future.
Jewish communal life significantly benefits from access to reliable and timely data. Unfortunately, data on small groups like the Jewish community are hard to come by and there has been no question on religion in the South African Census since 2001.
The Kaplan Centre has conducted several such studies on the Jewish Community in the past, with the last one carried out in 2005 and before that in 1998. As the only national survey of the entire Jewish community, these studies act as an essential barometer of a variety of trends within Jewish life in South Africa.
The survey will be online and the questionnaire is being prepared in collaboration with major communal organisations in South Africa. The survey will adhere to the highest international polling standards and data will be completely anonymous.
The survey is open to any adult in the South African Jewish community. Specifically, aged 18 and above, Jewish and currently living in South Africa.
The objective of the study is to provide practical and actionable information about the current condition of the community, as well as identifying trends likely to shape its future development. The study, moreover, will provide data upon which community organizations can make informed planning decisions. The survey asks questions on a range of variables that include demographics, schooling choices, family structure, migration, identity, religious practice, health and welfare needs, and views of South Africa and Israel.
JCSSA 2019 is the Jewish Community Survey of South Africa (JCSSA). It is an online nationwide survey of Jewish people in South Africa and is the first study of its type for fourteen years. Jewish community organisations, groups, synagogues, Jewish schools and welfare services rely on accurate and reliable data to help prioritise resources and plan for the future. JCSSA has been specifically designed to provide this vital information.
The survey seeks to hear from any Jewish adults (age 18 and over) who currently live in South Africa.
Whilst you must consider yourself to be Jewish, we do not specify any religious, cultural or affiliative criteria.
If you have recently arrived here and are planning to stay then you are eligible; if you are visiting from abroad for work or a holiday you are not eligible; if you used to live in South Africa but have since moved to a different country you are also not eligible.
The survey is being conducted by The Isaac and Jessie Kaplan Centre for Jewish Studies and Research based at the University of Cape Town and the Institute for Jewish Policy Research (JPR) in London, UK.
The Kaplan Centre is an autonomous research entity with its own governing body and is the only one of its kind in South Africa. It seeks to stimulate and promote the whole field of Jewish studies and research with a special focus on the South African Jewish community. JPR is the only independent institute in Europe that specialises in researching the state of the contemporary Jewish communities. Both organisations have a wealth of experience in conducting local and national Jewish community studies and both were previously involved in conducting a national survey of South African Jews in 1998.
This project is being funded by the Kaplan Centre for the benefit of the community.
Fieldwork for the survey is being conducted online between May and June 2019.
The JCSSA has partnered with major communal organisations to send out email invitations which will provide recipients with a direct link to the JCSSA Survey.
You may also receive a link to the survey by someone you know who has already completed the survey.
If you are eligible to take part (see above) and have not already received an invitation to complete the survey, you may request one through the JCSSA website or Facebook page by submitting your email address. We will then send you an email with a link to the JCSSA survey. Note we will only send out the survey through this channel once the initial fieldwork phase has been completed.
For the survey to have maximum impact we need as many people as possible to participate. Once you have completed the survey you will be provided with a link that you can send to friends and family. It is very important the survey reaches people who may not have heard about the survey or who do not live close to the main Jewish centres. Please spread the word to anyone eligible to participate.
Yes, there is a prize draw to win one of 3 Takealot gift vouchers valued at R2000 each. Once you have completed the survey you will have the option to enter this draw.
The survey team carried out an extensive consultation exercise prior to constructing the questionnaire in order to address as many of the key issues facing major Jewish communal organisations in South Africa as possible. At the same time, the survey team has sought to ensure a level of continuity with two previous national studies (in 1998 and 2005) as well as other international Jewish surveys. The key themes are: Jewish communal and religious life, Jewish education, Israel, migration, antisemitism, discrimination, partnerships, health and welfare, economics, charitable giving and volunteering and demographics.
The survey is estimated to take between 30 and 40 minutes to complete. This is a comprehensive survey on all aspects of Jewish life in South Africa and is a small investment given it only takes places once a decade. The survey is engaging and easy to complete.
We would encourage you to try and complete the survey in one session. However, if you do stop and close your browser whilst completing it you can easily return to it at any time by clicking the link you were sent in your email invitation.
The survey is only available online but has been designed to be as accessible and easy to complete as possible.
We do not recommend you answer this survey on a mobile phone as it has not been designed for small screens.
Definitely. Some of the questions in the survey deal with potentially sensitive issues but each one matters and is asked in order to provide data on key issues facing the Jewish community. We will not be collecting data that can identify you personally (such as names and addresses) and any email address information you provide will be held separately from the responses you give. It will not be possible to link your responses to you personally.
If you choose to take part in the survey's prize draw you will need to provide personal contact details, but these are stored separately from the answers you give to the questionnaire.
The final dataset will be held securely on the computer servers of JPR and UCT.
The initial findings report is scheduled to be published by the end of 2019/early 2020 and will be available to download for free from the Kaplan Centre and the Institute for Jewish Policy Research. The findings will be disseminated widely to Jewish community charities and organisations, and presented to community leaders and practitioners. Once it has been published, other reports will be written exploring the data in greater depth.

Known as the College's "premier choral ensemble," according to the Department of Music's website, TCNJ Chorale took to Mayo Concert Hall's stage on Saturday, Oct. 15, for "The Foreign and the Domestic," a concert that featured a wide variety of musical pieces, from American medleys to traditional folk and spiritual songs.
The Chorale opened the night with Kirke Mechem's "Blow Ye the Trumpet" with only a piano accompaniment. There was a perfect balance between the tenor and soprano voices, according to Nicole Myers, a senior vocal music education major.
"'Blow Ye the Trumpet' is one of my favorite pieces because it's the same words being repeated over and over, but each time, we sing it with a different meaning," Myers said. "The dynamic contrast and how we blend together as a whole is really special."
This notable quality was clearly demonstrated by each member of the Chorale and well-received by the audience. The piece ended in a capella, and while the last note rang out, you could hear a pin drop in the concert hall.
The Chorale's precision is a reflection of its true comprehension of the music, which can be attributed, in part, to conductor John Leonard, director of choirs and an associate professor of music.
"My hope is to build a lot of leadership within the group so that the upperclassmen can lead the lowerclassmen and be an example to them," Leonard said. "Ultimately, I want the Chorale to be a stress-free, enjoyable learning experience."
Leonard has succeeded in making the Chorale a wonderful learning experience, according to Myers and Lauren Critelli, a senior vocal music education major. They both said they constantly utilize the tools learned in rehearsal and apply them to their own teaching.
"We've both been music education majors for four years and were involved in different choirs in high school," Myers said. "But we still continue to learn new things every time we walk into a rehearsal."
Chorale is also a way to relax and have fun, Critelli said.
"If I have a stressful day, I honestly look forward to going to Chorale rehearsal," she said. "(I'm) always reminded that this is why I'm here — to sing with my friends and create beautiful music."
The girls said Leonard has given them opportunities beyond on-campus performances, like the time the Chorale participated in the "Glorious Sounds of Christmas" in Philadelphia and collaborated with The Philadelphia Orchestra.
The College's concert also included well-known traditional songs, such as "She'll Be Coming 'Round the Mountain," and the Chorale's use of staccato and clear diction made the song that much more enjoyable and exciting for the audience.
"It's fun for the audience because no one's ever heard that version before," Critelli said.

We've all made these mistakes in the kitchen, no matter how well we cook and how long we've been whipping up delicious and hearty meals for the family. From cooking vegetables right after cutting them to boiling vegetables for too long, we're all making these small mistakes that compromise the nutritional values of our foods.
What these mistakes are and how you can prevent them from happening again:
1. Peeling vegetables and fruits for kids
A lot of the much needed nutrients are under the skin of fruits and veggies, so don't peel the skin! If there's a bruised spot, just peel the spot and keep the rest.
2. Using olive oil directly in a hot pan
We know that olive oil is a great alternative to your usual vegetable oil, but did you know, the higher the cooking temperature, the worse it is for your oil and health? Once you've placed the olive oil on a hot pan, the main nutrients of the oil gets oxidised so much that they're no longer there once you're done cooking! Instead, use oilve oils in salads, soups and raw dishes.
3. Charring food for that smokey taste
While grilling is a healthy form of cooking, charring the meat for that extra smokey taste isn't. Instead of charring it, why not use seasoning or sauces that deliver that taste, too?
4. Adding oil to pasta water
A common misconception, some believe that adding oil to the boiling water for pasta prevents the strands of pasta from sticking together, but that's further from the truth. Instead, stir your pasta while cooking to prevent clumps.
5. Overcooking vegetables and meat
Overcooking food can result in lost of flavour and nutrients. It's best to have a timer at hand or under cook first before gradually cooking your food some more to get its optimum flavour.

Today was the 70th yarzheit of the Munkacher Rebbe, the Minchas Elazar. You can read about how the American chasidim celebrated at theyeshivaworld.com
The rebbe of Munkacs (or Munkatch), Rabbi Chaim Elazar Spira (who led the community from 1913 until his death in 1937) was the most outspoken voice of religious anti-Zionism. He had succeeded his father, Rabbi Zvi Hirsh Spira, who had earlier inherited the mantle of leadership from his father Rabbi Shlomo Spira. This Hasidic dynasty was based in the town of Mukacheve, known as "Munkacs", "Minkatch" or "Munkacz" in common Jewish usage.
This is a video from 1933 of the Rebbe warning American Jews to keep Shabbos.
(For a longer video of life in Munkatch in 1933 click on this link http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1622609518319953327&q=munkatch
This is what Wikipedia has to say about him:
Rabbi Chaim Elazar Spira (December 17, 1871 in Stryzow, Poland – May 13, 1937) was one of the Rebbes of the Hasidic movement Munkacz (or Munkatsh). His father, Rabbi Tzvi Hersh Spira was a scion of the illustrious Spira family which had held rabbinical positions in Munkács dating back to the first Hasidic Rabbi in Munkács, Rabbi Tzvi Elimelech Spira who served as Chief Rabbi between the years of 1828 and 1832. Rabbi Chaim Elazar assumed the position as Chief Justice of the Rabbinical Court in Munkács in the year 1903, where he served alongside his father until Rabbi Tzvi Hersh's passing in 1913. Rabbi Chaim Elazar then succeeded his father as Chief Rabbi of Munkács and the surrounding communities.
From a very young age Rabbi Chaim Elazar proved to have a prodigious mind. At the young age of 11 he began writing his first book on Jewish Law. In his short life Rabbi Chaim Elazar wrote and published over 20 books on the Jewish Law, Torah, Hasidism, and religious philosophy and customs. His most notable work which made him world famous was the scholarly work "Minchas Elazar" which contains 6 volumes. He was the most outspoken voice of religious anti-Zionism.
Rabbi Chaim Elazar led his community with unsurpassed dignity and drew worldwide respect and honor for Munkács. His keen understanding and vast knowledge in Jewish as well as worldly matters drew thousands of people to his home where they sought his advice and blessings. Under his leadership, the Munkács Jewish community grew in leaps and bounds and at the time of his death in 1937, over half of the town's inhabitants were Jewish.
One of the most memorable events in Munkács was the wedding of Rabbi Chaim Elazar's only daughter Frima which took place in March of 1933. Over 15,000 guests attended the wedding. Hungary, Poland and Czechoslovakia opened their borders and no visa was necessary for people who wished to attend the wedding. International filming companies came to Munkács from all over Europe and America to document the historic event.
Rabbi Chaim Elazar championed the causes of his needy brethren in Munkács and established a vast network of charitable institutions to ease their burden. He established schools where children were taught under his constant guidance. His yeshiva (rabbinical college) in Munkács attracted hundreds of students from all corners of the globe who flocked to Munkács to study under his wing, many of them growing to become the next generation's rabbis, community leaders, etc.
He was respected not only by the international Jewish community, but as well by the gentile world. He was visited by world leaders such as Czechoslovakian President Edvard Beneš as well as Tomáš Masaryk, Queen Wilhelmina of Holland and many others who sought his sagely advice and blessings. He was known as a "wonder rabbi" and "miracle worker".
Upon his untimely death in 1937, after fighting a grave illness, he was succeeded as Chief Rabbi by his son-in-law Rabbi Baruch Yehoshua Yerachmiel Rabinowicz who was husband to Rabbi Spira's only daughter Frima. Rabbi Baruch served as chief rabbi until the Nazi occupation of Munkács in 1944. Rabbi Spira left an everlasting impression on Munkács and the entire world for generations to come.
Thousands of followers visit his gravesite in the Munkács Jewish Cemetery throughout the year, where they come to pray and bequest salvation, especially on the anniversary of his death in the month of May.
The Munkács Hasidic Dynasty continues to this day under the dynamic leadership of the grandson of Rabbi Chaim Elazar, Grand Rabbi Moshe Leib Rabinovich who resides in Brooklyn, New York.

Evangelism – or telling a story!
Life came to a shuddering halt; July 2016 two heart attacks; and life as it was known stopped almost dead in its tracks. Over the course of the next year and three operations I had nine stents inserted into my heart. Stents reopen and keep the arteries open for the blood to flow through the heart. (One of life's great inventions.)
The surgeon called it 'the full metal jacket', but as a patient I knew it wasn't enough, there was still something wrong; the aortic valve was damaged. A fourth operation confirmed the need for open-heart surgery. From being, a fully functional human being, it was now, a 'just about functioning' human being. The shuddering halt was almost complete, but I was still alive, phew! Everything to do with living was a challenge. Some months later confirmation was given that major heart surgery was needed, I was booked into a leading heart hospital. But then a new diagnosis was given, 'You have prostate cancer and you are high risk', great!
Both serious conditions, the heart seemed the main priority, but there was also a real need to treat the cancer. The cancer treatment was given priority. The heart is another story.
Statistics say 12000 men die each year from prostate cancer. I didn't want it to be 12001!
I was challenged by being one of Gods men, saved into a new life by Jesus. After the diagnosis I was sitting in the pub one day when the landlord said to me he has trouble peeing. I told him about my cancer and advised him to go and get himself checked. I also felt that the Lord wanted me to do more.
I'm a Christian bloke who has cancer and with a living message of salvation; can I combine both, sharing the gospel message, whilst travelling with men who may have prostate cancer? My answer was YES. I had printed 150 leaflets sharing the fact that I had prostate cancer and that I was also a Christian bloke who had hope and a future in Jesus.
I was booked in for radio therapy treatment, five days per week for 44 sessions (2.5 months), and 20 miles away. Collected by a charity taxi service and transported to hospital; this is a shared service so the taxi always had others being taken for treatment. My companions sharing the taxi were having treatment for a variety of cancers, breast cancer, lung cancer, facial tumours. On many journeys I gave out leaflets and shared conversations about Jesus to those in the taxi. I also gave out leaflets at the hospital to those in the reception area waiting for treatment; in fact anyone who would listen, patients, the radio therapists, canteen staff.
I was humbled by the many responses, challenged by those who have no faith, and shared a common compassion with those who have cancer. Yes questions were raised about Gods healing, tears were shed, cynical words expressed, but cancer is the common denominator. Consequently there was the opportunity to talk about another common denominator – God's love expressed in Jesus. Love with hope etched deeply within it.
I realised that evangelism is more than the sum of the parts. The message is of salvation and hope in Jesus, my condition doesn't change the message. I share a common humanity with cancer sufferers whose lives have been changed by their condition. It can change again because the price was paid by Jesus.
Yes I'm an evangelist.

In the great book-keeping of climate change, scientists have just discovered a big mistake. They have been wrong, they now think, to count on the mountains, the plains, the forests and the grasslands as an agency that slows climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide.
It does absorb carbon dioxide. But the chilling news is that the soil itself may be making the world warmer.
That is because humans have changed the way the landscape and its living things works, and now – thanks to those other greenhouse gases, methane and nitrous oxides, from cattle, fertilizers, manure and agriculture – the terrestrial biosphere is actually accelerating climate change.
Twenty-three scientists from 16 laboratories and institutions report in Nature journal that they re-examined the sums on which climate forecasts depend.
They concluded: "We find that the cumulative warming capacity of concurrent biogenic methane and nitrous oxide emissions is a factor of about two larger than the cooling effect resulting from the global land carbon dioxide uptake from 2001 to 2010."

The New Tablo
Introducing Tablo 2.0
When we say 'new', we really mean it. The new Tablo has been completely redesigned and rebuilt from the ground up. We've spent thousands of hours crafting a product that (we hope) will have a big impact on the publishing industry.
And today, at last, we're sharing it. There are some exciting new changes - a beautiful new writing application, profiles, groups and an underlying social network that will help readers discover your books.
Our quest has been to redesign the old and outdated publishing model. For hundreds of years the publishing model has been the same - authors will write solitarily for years, submit their manuscripts and see their work rejected. With the new Tablo, authors can share their books progressively and connect with readers while they write.
This is an integral concept. By building a service that connects authors with readers, we can help you write better books and finish with a greater following. The next bestseller can now be spotted before it's even been published.
So, where shall we begin? Profiles, of course!
With the new Tablo, every author has a voice. Your profile is the place to share your upcoming books, your biography and your lovely smile. New readers can discover you; friends and fans can follow you to stay up to date with your work.
When you follow an author you add them to your ever-developing bookshelf. When the author shares a new chapter, you can be the first to read it. Authors can ask questions, seek feedback and engage in discussions with their readers.
How do authors and readers find each other? Introducing Groups.
Groups are mini-communities where you can share and discover new books. Groups are created and run by Tablo users, and they can be about anything - genres, writing festivals, niche interests, you name it.
You can join a Romantic Fiction Group for your new novel and be discovered by fans of the genre. You can join a Group for your favourite writing festival to connect with likeminded authors. Browse members, engage in Group discussions and plenty more - we're excited to see how you use this feature.
At the core of Tablo is our gorgeous Writing Room. Today, it's getting a major update.
We've redesigned our Writing Room on the inside and outside. On the surface, you'll now have a cleaner and more focused writing experience. We've worked hard on this new design, and the gorgeous New Caledonia typeface has certainly helped ;)
The real magic of the new Writing Room is in the background. You'll never get to see it, but it will make your creation experience faster, easier and a lot more fun. Swap chapters instantly, spin up a preview with the click of a finger and write with confidence knowing that every keystroke is saved in the cloud. The changes are subtle, but they make a big difference.
We're also releasing an improved version of our Word Document importer. Just drag and drop your document into Tablo and you'll have a publish-ready book in seconds.
So that's the new Tablo. The team has been working super hard on this and we're excited to finally be sharing it with you. Some little pieces from the old Tablo are still being implemented so, until our next update, Tablo is free for all users.
We're on a long-term quest here to democratise the publishing model, and this launch is our first step. We'd love to hear your thoughts, your ideas and your feedback on where we're heading. Have fun!

An Agent's Inbox #15
12 comments:
- cordelianchronicles.com said...
I like the way the query sets up the double point of view. I'd like a bit of a further explanation of why she's "deprived of her family and friends" - it makes it seem more fantastical and less contemporary. Fix the "an" in the title and the "howling a painfully."
Most of the advice I read is not to include the details like you do in your bio, but I'm sure it's agent by agent.
- September 24, 2014 at 10:26 AM
Thanks for the input, Waugh. Unfortunately, the typos come from me sending my entry from my phone and not double checking it before hitting send. :/
- September 24, 2014 at 11:08 AM
- Laura Moe said...
Interesting premise, but I don't believe Alan has had NO negative things happen to him. Makes him sound one dimensional. Unless he ISN'T real?
You have a typo in the title of your query letter.
I like Emma's snarky voice, but some readers might be put off by profanity in the first sentence. I know it is Emma's voice, and it's necessary for credibility of character, but maybe not the first line.
Best of luck!
- September 24, 2014 at 3:05 PM
You've got some work to do here on the query. The sample is much better, but if the agent won't read through the query, you're sunk.
Te begin with, you have a typo in the book's title! That's an instant reject.
SECOND PARAGRAPH: this is really confusing…how is she deprived? Is she frozen and can't speak? You could condense this: "A wayward kiss from the boy in the fortune-telling booth leaves seventeen-year-old Emma with more than tingles down her spine. This mysterious boy's kiss comes with a curse, one that petrifies Emma's skin and leaves her cold as stone." (I can't write more, because I don't know the story)
THIRD PARAGRAPH: "Thanks to the charm protecting LeGrand's Carnival Fantastic, apprentice carpenter Alan is preternaturally lucky."
So then if he's lucky because of the charm, then he's NOT lucky! There was an intervening force at work, right?
BIO: As nice as this sounds, nobody cares that much until you get published—then put that on your Amazon author page. Instead, give us any writing credits, along with comp titles.
The sample ended on a good tense note for me. I wanted to read on.
Best of luck,
Spike (M.P.)
- September 24, 2014 at 7:12 PM
Didn't mean to leave the above as anonymous! That was me, Spike. My entry is #12, so feel free to rip me to shreds...
- September 24, 2014 at 7:14 PM
No worries about the anonymous part.
I entered the contest from my phone because of a power outage, and missed the typo in my title, which, I'd like to assure everyone, is not in my real query. :)
- September 24, 2014 at 7:23 PM
- Annmarie said...
I found your premise really interesting. I was a bit turned off by the profanity in the first sentence. I know it is YA, but most people in my circles would avoid it for that reason. Other than that, I loved your character's voice.
- September 24, 2014 at 7:25 PM
- Julie C said...
I loved it. I found the premise interesting and the first 250 great. I like the voice and swearing in the first sentence feels authentic.
I've read some on querying, but have not studied it to the extent others have but your last sentance in the query feels authentic, like your character, so I think it works.
Best of luck!
- September 25, 2014 at 9:18 AM
- CHadge said...
I'll try to not repeat too much of what has already been said, but I really enjoyed the voice of your MC. This was more out of curiosity than anything else - what year is your MS set? (I know you put "contemporary" in the query.) Knowing that, the comp titles I'd suggest are THE NIGHT CIRCUS or even GHOST BOY (which is set in a traveling carnival and might have a similar tone to your MS).
Good luck!
- September 25, 2014 at 12:38 PM
Thank you, everyone, for your feedback! And thanks, C Hadge, for the comp title suggestions. I feel NIGHT CIRCUS doesn't quite work (though I'd love to be able to compare my book to that one!), because the magic system in NC is much more overt than mine and mine is set in the present day. I've never read GHOST BOY, though, so I'll check it out. :)
- September 25, 2014 at 1:19 PM
Query thoughts: I like the set up but am not really sure what to expect from the actual plot; details are just too broad. How does one break the curse? Also, bio is too personal; avoid mention of family and pets. If you don't have much to say about writing credentials, it's fine not to mention anything at all.
Page: I didn't feel this was a teen voice; sounded much more adult, especially the use of the word "schmuck." It did move at a quick pace and I'd read on.
Overall: there's something compelling here; would just need to know more about the project. The writing entices me but I'd suggest a more compelling query letter.
- September 26, 2014 at 3:44 PM
Thank you, Ms. Jeglinski! I appreciate the feedback.
- September 26, 2014 at 4:14 PM
