Videos of Speaker Nancy Pelosi, altered to make it appear as if she is drunkenly slurring, have been spreading widely on social media. A recent one shared on Facebook collected 2 million views in a day, with users calling her "drunk" and "a babbling mess." A digital-forensics expert said deepfake technology poses a real risk, but added, "This type of low-tech fake shows that there is a larger threat of misinformation campaigns — too many of us are willing to believe the worst in people that we disagree with."

As California prepares for what some officials fear will be another devastating fire season, PG&E is scrambling to cut or trim hundreds of thousands of trees. But qualified tree trimmers are hard to come by. It's dangerous work that requires strength, agility, and nerves. Since 2017, at least 20 deaths related to tree work have been recorded in California.

A Robin Williams mural in San Francisco.
On this week's California Sun Podcast, host Jeff Schechtman chats with N.Y. Times reporter Dave Itzkoff about his biography of California comedian Robin Williams. "He, I think at heart, was a very modest person," Itzkoff said, "and somebody who was never fully convinced that he possessed the talents that other people saw in him." California Sun Podcast

Commutes have doubled. Emergency room visits have jumped from 180 a day to 260. An "impacted" housing situation has became "hyper-impacted."

More than 80 women have accused Harvey Weinstein of wrongdoing.
Harvey Weinstein reached a tentative $44 million deal to settle lawsuits filed by women who accused him of sexual misconduct and by the New York state attorney general, reports said.

Miss USA Tara Conner turned down a proposal to pose nude for playboy after failing to clinch the deal for more than one million dollars.india Updated: Feb 01, 2007, 19:07 IST
Miss USA Tara Conner turned down a proposal to pose nude for playboy after failing to clinch the deal for more than one million dollars.
The controversial beauty queen, who recently completed her stint in a Pennsylvania rehabilitation facility, had been offered the chance to pose for the men's magazine. However, though pageant boss Donald Trump negotiated with the magazine, he eventually decided not to conclude the deal.
His office confirmed the news on Tuesday.
"She just didn't feel it was appropriate. She will not be doing Playboy," the New York Daily News quoted Trump's spokeswoman, Rhona Graff, as saying.
Conner, 21, made headlines in December last year when Trump almost made her turn in her tiara over her hard-partying ways, and then relented on the condition that she seek treatment.
Earlier this month, Trump had revealed that Playboy wanted Conner on its cover and that he was considering the proposal. He also said that even if the Kentucky native approved off the offer magazine, she would not pose entirely nude.
Conner is likely to discuss the Playboy offer during a live interview tomorrow with Matt Lauer on NBC's "Today" show.
Although Playboy has yet not commented on the issue, a magazine source said that they did into make such big offers.
Dethroned Miss Nevada Katie Rees, who lost her crown over raunchy photos showing her semi-nude and kissing other women, just cannot believe that Conner had been offered one million dollars deal for baring all.
"A million! I wasn't offered a million dollars. I'm going to hold out," she said.

A client who was not afraid of going bold in her home interior design inspired Marika Meyer's design for the dining room and sunroom of a home under renovation in the Palisades. Because the spaces are adjacent to one another with a large opening in between, Meyer knew they would have to relate visually. Her client "had a keen sense of color and knew what she liked," the designer says. After falling in love with a strong Brunschwig & Fils jacquard in red and rust—ultimately used for throw pillows in the sunroom—they selected vibrant motifs for both rooms. "We had fun layering pattern on pattern," Meyer recalls.
The dining room walls are covered in rust-hued grass cloth by Thibaut, with a rug from Galleria Carpets in an ikat pattern that Meyer and her client customized for color and weave; even the dining-chair fabric has a custom colorway selected to fit the room. "There were so many opportunities for customization on this project," observes Meyer. "That's part of its success."
In the sunroom, a neutral rug allows for a lively mix of fabrics. A Chinoiserie dragon pattern by Jim Thompson on one armchair works with a flame-stitch pattern by Brunschwig on another. A cream-colored Cowtan & Tout sofa provides a backdrop for pillows in the rust-hued jacquard as well as geometrics by Brunschwig & Fils. Drapes and a fabric ceiling cover, both by Barry Dixon for Vervain, lend warmth and coziness to the room.
To furnish both spaces, Meyer sourced antiques as far afield as Texas. Above the custom dining table by Bausman and Minton Spidell chairs from Michael-Cleary, the Visual Comfort chandelier is both simple and elegant.

Marika Meyer's Trade Secrets
- Clients often think antiques will be stodgy. But you can find ones that feel current and they can add a moment of individuality to space.
- Never be afraid to express yourself through color, pattern, and texture, but use neutral elements for balance.
- Sourcing materials from different places will create variety. And try to think outside the box; we used an antique console instead of a sideboard. This method also helps achieve high-low price points.
- Think creatively when there's an odd architectural element. The ceiling in the sunroom was oddly angular. Instead of trying to make it disappear, we covered it in fabric and made it an asset.

This management blade resides in a BX400 chassis but was flashed with firmware for the BX900 chassis. I know there are dip switches on the management blade to boot to the slave firmware instead of the master firmware. I have tried many different combinations, but i am unable to boot to the slave firmware.
I have found a PDF that show me what each dip switches does. But out of the 3 management blades i have tested, none will boot to the slave firmware. I know it's possible as i was able to do this once in the past. Any one know the right dip switches to enable?

Eurartesim® is a fixed-dose combination of dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine (DHA-PQP), developed by Alfasigma S.p.A. in partnership with MMV, for the treatment of uncomplicated P. falciparum malaria. It is administered once a day over 3 days. Studies have shown that Eurartesim's long half-life affords patients a useful period of protection from new malaria infections.1
In October 2011, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) granted marketing authorization for Eurartesim. In October 2015, Eurartesim was prequalified by WHO and, in June 2017, DHA-PQP was added to WHO's Model List of Essential Medicines (EML) and Model List of Essential Medicines for Children (EMLc) after a successful application to the EML by Alfasigma.
In 2015, Alfasigma entered into an exclusive licensing agreement with Pierre Fabre to expand its ability to support country registration requirements and national adoption of Eurartesim in 32 African countries.
Alfasigma will submit a regulatory dossier to the EMA for a new dispersible formulation of Eurartesim designed specifically to address the treatment needs of children.

At 6:35 in the first period, Ashton's shot from the blue line found its way through traffic to the Blades' net, which marked his first career WHL goal. Ashton was originally selected in the third round, 50th overall, by the Saskatoon Blades in the 2016 WHL Bantam Draft.

Jamie Vardy to follow Danny Drinkwater and N'Golo Kante by leaving Leicester in the future – and fancies a move abroad
Foxes star happy to stay at King Power for now but admits he'd like to test himself in a new country at some point
JAMIE VARDY wants to follow Danny Drinkwater and N'Golo Kante out of Leicester one day.
Yet while the former Foxes stars have headed for the bright lights and big bucks of Stamford Bridge, Vardy sees his future somewhere very different.
The England striker has shunned moves to Arsenal and Chelsea as he wants to play abroad. But when asked where, 30-year-old Vardy laughed and said: "Where the food is nicest."
Drinkwater — who completed his £35million move to Chelsea on transfer deadline day last week — and Kante return to the King Power on Saturday as the only players from the club's title-winning team of 2016 to have left.
Vardy was being talked about as a target for Atletico Madrid last year and harbours a desire to test his skills overseas.
He said: "Will Leicester be the last team I play for? I'm only 21 at heart. I've still got 14 years left! Who knows what can happen. I've spoken about it with my agent before.
"A move abroad, who knows. That would be something I'd probably like to experience. We'll have to wait and see what happens.
"It could be anything really . . . just so I can get a different culture, a different experience, as I've only ever been in England."
You have to hand it to Vardy — he has been loyal to the club that shot him to stardom. As well as Kante and Drinkwater jumping ship, Riyad Mahrez put in a transfer request this summer.
The Algerian winger had been linked with Chelsea and Roma but nothing serious materialised during the transfer window.
Vardy added: "To have only lost two players from that squad shows you what the club is about and what the owners are like. They want to keep everything together and want us to keep progressing.
"To only lose two of the players that won the league, I don't think you can complain about that."
It is ironic that 27-year-old midfielder Drinkwater could make his Blues debut at Leicester's home.
Vardy said: "It's a strange one for him, coming straight back. But fair play to Danny on getting the move he wanted. He made it known he wanted to leave. I'm sure the club got the right deal, too.
"We spoke about it up until the international break but while I was away with England, I didn't see anything happening until it popped up on Sky Sports News on deadline day just before I went to bed."

Well look no further than Sun Bets, who guarantee best price on all first goalscorers in the top flight.

And the best bit?
You can use Sun Bets' 'Bet £5, Get a Free £10 Bet' offer at the same time!
What's not to like?
*Ts and Cs apply
Although he believes Drinkwater is good enough to play in Chelsea's midfield, Vardy believes he may have to accept he is no longer going to be one of the first names on the team-sheet, like he was at Leicester.
He admitted: "Chelsea are full of world-class players. Danny is up there himself but it depends on the formation their manager will play.
"They signed Tiemoue Bakayoko, so Danny has a lot of competition."
Vardy admits that while Kante was a big loss when he moved to the Bridge, Leicester have the best replacement in Wilfred Ndidi.
He said: "N'Golo is a great player. He kept us ticking, always getting the ball back. But we've also got players slightly different to him who are just as good. They just needed a bit of time to bed in.
"Wilfred was a quality signing and is like N'Golo — he's a lot taller too."
Vardy is also sure Mahrez will still be putting in 100 per cent for Leicester, despite making public his desire to leave.
Mahrez had egg on his face after leaving Algeria's training camp on deadline day, all ready to make a big-money move.
Vardy, who played the final 17 minutes of the Three Lions' 2-0 win over Malta last Friday, added: "I heard he didn't travel or something — he went to Europe on a holiday.
"It's up to him. It's been reported he wants a winter move instead.
"If that's the case, he'll be wanting to perform to put himself out there."
It does not surprise Vardy that Chelsea swooped for Kante and Drinkwater — and been linked with himself and Mahrez.
He said: "It shows we have some good players if Chelsea want to nick them all."
And Vardy insists Chelsea — just like Leicester last season — will find it tough to defend their title.
He added: "It's always hard. There are so many teams that can win the Premier League.
"We showed anything can happen. Look at your top-six teams and they've all been spending this summer.
"It's not a foregone conclusion who will win it. Everyone is challenging."

Vardy is happy with Leicester's summer transfer business and reckons the club can have a real go at finishing in a European spot.
Harry Maguire, Vincent Iborra, Kelechi Iheanacho and Eldin Jakupovic have all been added to the squad for a combined £57.3m. Vardy said: "Everyone has had a taste of Europe so we want to be challenging as high up the table as we can."
The star was speaking at the premiere of a Sky documentary series The Next Jamie Vardy, which starts on Sky 1 next Saturday at 11.30am.
This new six-part docu-series charts the progress of a number of young non-league hopefuls who want to progress into the pro game — just like the Leicester star.
Vardy, who founded the V9 Academy to discover non-league talent, said: "There's massive talent out there and I hope this documentary has demonstrated that, by putting the spotlight on players trying to find a way to the top. There are more hidden gems to be found outside the Football League.
"V9 will do all it can to help players realise their dream of playing professional football for club and country."

LASHKARGAH (Pajhwok): Religious scholars and tribal elders from various districts of southern Zabul province on Tuesday blamed insecurity on administrative corruption and injustices being meted out to people by local officials.
They were talking at a gathering convened by Governor Mirza Khan Rahimi to discuss security related issues with them in Lashkargah, the provincial capital.
A resident of Musa Qala district and religious scholar, Mualvi Mukhtar Ahmad Haqqani, asked the governor to bring about reforms in government departments for the sake of improvement in the situation.
He said the government should adopt a clear stance against the insurgents, otherwise it would be impossible to maintain security.
Garamsir district social council chief Mehboob Khan said all departments, particularly justice and judicial organs, were rife with corruption.
"Police and other law enforcing agencies arrest anti-state elements, but justice organs set them free in return for bribes and this practice has a negative impact on the performance of security departments."
Haji Haqbin, a tribal elder from Marja district, said the provincial administration was responsible for the increasing insecurity in the province. He said the insurgents had strengthened as a result of injustices meted out to people by local officials.
"If there is a strong administration and people are provided with needed services, common people will themselves play their part in strengthening security," he believed.
Former chief of the Sangin district social council, Haji Daud, accused government officials of being defenders of insurgents. He said drug smugglers were always freed after being arrested in return for hefty bribes.
"In the Sangin conflict alone last year, 7,000 civilians, local and national police were killed, but the government did not come to their aid and only a handful of individuals benefitted from the conflict."
Resident of Musa Qala Abdul Basir said intelligence officials should intensify their activities because vehicles loaded with ammunition daily entered northern districts of Zabul province from Iran and Pakistan, but none of these vehicles had ever been captured.
"As long as we don't have a strong intelligence and unable to fully utilise the available resources, war alone is not a solution," he said.
Helmand provincial council chief Mohammad Karim Atal said government officials did not consider their advices. He said they had informed the officials concerned in advance about the possible fall of Musa Qala and Nawzad districts, but nothing happened to secure the towns.
Governor Mirza Khan Rahimi acknowledged that security problems were widespread in Zabul and urged tribal elders and religious scholars to cooperate with his administration in doing away with corruption and injustices.
He said some plans aimed at improving administrative affairs had been chalked out and would be implemented soon. He also promised to convey problems expressed by the elders and scholars to the central government.

CD Antigen CD27 also known as Tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 7 (TNFRSF7), which belongs to TNF-receptor superfamily. CD27 / TNFRSF7 is found in most T-lymphocytes. CD27 / TNFRSF7 is required for generation and long-term maintenance of T cell immunity. It binds to ligand CD70, and plays a key role in regulating B-cell activation and immunoglobulin synthesis. This receptor transduces signals that lead to the activation of NF-κB and MAPK8/JNK. CD27 has been shown to interact with SIVA1, TRAF2 and TRAF3.
Recombinant Human CD27 /TNFRSF7 Protein, With C-Fc Tag (rhCD27 Fc Chimera) Thr 21 - Ile 192 (Accession # NP_001233) was produced in human 293 cells (HEK293).
Molecular Characterization
rhCD27 Fc Chimera, fused with Fc fragment of human IgG1 at the C-terminus, has a calculated MW of 45.9 kDa. The predicted N-terminus is Thr 21. DTT-reduced Protein migrates as 45-65 kDa due to glycosylation.
Less than 1.0 EU per μg of the rhCD27 Fc Chimera by the LAL method.
>95% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
Lyophilized from 0.22 μm filtered solution in 50 mM tris, 100 mM glycine, pH7.0. Normally Mannitol or Trehalose are added as protectants before lyophilization.
Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA. Immobilized recombinant human CD27 protein at 2 μg/mL (100μl/well) can bind biotinylated human CD70 with a linear range of 0.25 - 16 ng/ml.
See Certificate of Analysis for details of reconstitution instruction and specific concentration.
Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. No activity loss was observed after storage at:
In lyophilized state for 1 year (4°C-8°C); After reconstitution under sterile conditions for 1 month (4°C-8°C) or 3 months (-20°C to -70°C).

Albert and Karen came to Phuket for a pre-wedding photo shoot at their resort and Phuket Old Town in the lead up to their wedding day.
The Hong Kong couple stayed at Mom Tris Villa Royale in Kata for their pre-wedding vacation. You might all know I love that place. Especially the lawn area with the antique archway. Here's the story that I tell every time I am doing a photo shoot there.
Mom Tris is named after the owner Khun Mom Tri. He's Thai and lives in Bangkok and is very well-known in Thailand especially in art and cultural circles. This place used to be his home and then he decided to open it to the pubic to enjoy by making it into a resort. One day he was traveling somewhere remote in Thailand and saw some people demolishing some buildings and he saw the beautiful archway. He asked them if he could take it and they were happy for him to move it. And he brought it back to Phuket and made it into part of the garden. It's a beautiful backdrop for the garden.
I read this story many times over the years in magazines. One day I was at the restaurant and he was there. I was so lucky to meet him and asked him to tell the story which he kindly did but in much more detail then I had known before. He really is a warm, lovely person. I was a bit star-struck to meet him finally.
So I always like to take photos in that garden. And we do cocktail hour there often when we have weddings next door at Impiana Private Villas.
Anyway back to the pre-wedding shoot. The skies opened so we headed to Phuket Old Town. The couple changed into Thai traditional costumes for the photos around the old town. We explored the temple, Dibuk Road, Soi Rominee, art galleries, cafes, shops and the museum. There are new murals painted on many of the walls in that area now too. I also love the old town so much.
And then we had lunch and went to Kata Beach. The weather was not terrific but we were happy and having a great photo shoot with a lot of fun and another outfit change – a pineapple dress.
This was the full day photo shoot including flowers, hair and make-up and transportation and photos of course. If you are interested to book this shoot or the shorter half day version just drop me a line for more info ~ photography by Gina.

2017 Investigation
Hogwood Farm is a horrific place in Warwickshire, which houses around 16,000 pigs and is one of the largest pig farms Viva! has ever seen.
The conditions for pigs there are so appalling that Viva! launched a campaign in 2017 urging supporters to TAKE ACTION and help us close down the farm.
Take a look at the sheer amount of local and national press coverage received on Hogwood so far.
Timeline of Events
- Read Juliet's personal account of the original investigation in 2017 and for all the latest information on the current state of Hogwood, visit our 2018 investigation Factsheet.
On 10 July 2017, a peaceful vigil was held outside Hogwood Farm by Viva! Campaigns and their supporters. Watch the footage.
On the same day as the vigil, Viva! received a tip-off about pig remains being dumped in nearby woodland AND that the farm was supplying supermarket giant, Tesco. Discover what we found.
Despite the attention drawn to the campaign, Tesco still refused to drop Hogwood Farm as a supplier. Viva! sprung into action to organise a Nationalwide Day of Action for supporters of the campaign to make their voices heard at Tesco stores across the country. Take a look at all the action and read our Campaigner's POV in our blog.
Further press coverage was gained for the Day of Action, which was featured in the Hereford Times, Bristol Post, Plant Based News and the Thetford and Brandon Times to name a few.
- Due to Tesco's decision to uphold Hogwood Farm as a pork supplier, Viva! began further plans to protest against the conditions these poor animals were suffering in 2018. A second investigation was carried out to test Tesco's claims that they 'work with their suppliers to improve conditions' - What we found.
How you can help
Take a look at our Take Action page.
We're urging Tesco to drop this horror farm and we need your support to keep up the momentum. The more support we have, the more pressure we can apply. We're campaigning to end this cruelty. Please donate today

Mrs. Cosme: Read 180
Hello students,
As of Monday, April 20th, we have begun online education using Google Classrooms. I have seen that many of you are completing your work from your phones. If you are using your phone, it will be very helpful to download the free Google Slides and Goggle Docs Apps.
I noticed when I opened the assignment on Google Classroom on my phone, I could not see all of the notes I made in the margins of the slides. To see the whole assignment, go to Google Classrooms to get your assignment. Once you can see it, open it in Google Slides. Pinch the screen to zoom in and out of each slide, so you can see all of the information. It is easier to edit and type into the assignment in Google Slides, as well. After you finish your assignment in Google Slides, go back into Google Classrooms to hit the Turn In button.
I know this can all be frustrating and confusing, but please try to stay patient. If you get stuck, you can send me a comment from your assignment in either app or you can email me at firstname.lastname@example.com. My office hours are from 10:30-11:30 Monday and Thursday mornings, so I will just be waiting to hear from you. If you email or message me any other time, I will get back to you as soon as I can.

Health Talks is the Quality Forum's annual evening event. As in past years, eight engaging and passionate speakers answered our question:
What are your hopes for health care?
But Health Talks' speakers didn't use presentations full of bullet points. They used the PechaKucha 20×20 format, where each presentation contained 20 photos and each photo was displayed for exactly 20 seconds before automatically advancing to the next one.
The night also featured a ceremony to recognize the winners of the BC Patient Safety & Quality Council's annual Quality Awards, which celebrate improvements in quality of care across eight categories.

Kermode's life in music to W&N
Weidenfeld & Nicolson is publishing film critic Mark Kermode's "hilarious, self-deprecating and blissfully nostalgic" memoir of his life in music, entitled How Does it Feel?
The book, subtitled A Life of Musical Misadventures, is pitched as "a bedroom dreamer's ridiculous attempts to nail pop stardom" and tells the story "of how a spotty kid from North London who built an electric guitar at school wound up recording an album at the legendary Sun Studios in Memphis".
It follows Kermode's haphazard musical career, from performing in 1970s church halls and youth clubs to live at the Albert Hall, via a stint in musical theatre and stand-up comedy.
Episodes covered include appearing on a kids' TV show dressed head-to-foot in black leather, getting heckled off stage by bingo-playing septuagenarians on a boat on the Mersey, showing Timmy Mallet how to build a tea-chest bass, and successfully teaching an American festival audience to say 'bollocks'.
Jenny Lord, publishing director for Weidenfeld & Nicolson non-fiction, acquired world rights from Hedda Archbold at HLA Agency and said to expect a "laugh-out-loud" anecdotes and "on point" observations.
"I grew up surrounded by homemade electric guitars and issues of Guitarist magazine and from the moment Mark described this book to me, I knew it was something I had to publish," said Lord. "Mark's tales of his life on stage (and being thrown off it) are laugh-out-loud funny and his observations on the absurdity of the clothes, music and telly of decades gone by are absolutely on point."
Kermode, who is chief film critic for the Observer and co-host of Kermode and Mayo's Film Review on BBC Radio 5 Live, commented: "It's great to be working again with Jenny Lord, who played such a key role in putting together The Movie Doctors book which I co-wrote with Simon Mayo. How Does it Feel? has been a passion project for me for as long as I can remember – it's the book I've been wanting to write for years. Jenny got it immediately, and her enthusiasm and support has made this daft dream a reality.'
How Does it Feel will publish in hardback, audio and e-book in September 2018.

23: ChapterS 13-14 - THE FIRST WAR AGAINST THE PELISHTIM (PART II)
The Book of Shmuel
Yeshivat Har Etzion
Lecture 23: ChapterS 13-14
Rav Amnon Bazak
In the previous lesson we saw the many difficulties facing Shaul in his first war as king of Israel against the Pelishtim. We noted the enormous gap in size between Shaul's tiny army and the huge forces of the Pelishtim, and the fact that Shmuel ordered Shaul to assemble in Gilgal, which put him at a distinct strategic disadvantage. We explained that the first war of the first king of Israel was purposely conducted under these conditions, in order to emphasize that in all of Israel's wars it is God who determines the outcome, and that victory in battle will only be achieved if the king and the people are found worthy.
To the difficulties already noted we should add the great test that Shmuel set before Shaul, when he alluded to him in the past about the expected war:
And you shall go down before me to Gilgal; and, behold, I will come down unto you, to offer burnt-offerings, and to sacrifice sacrifices of peace-offerings; seven days shall you tarry, till I come unto you, and tell you what you shall do. (I Shmuel 10:8)
It is reasonable to assume that at the time of the command Shaul did not understand the enormous difficulty that he would have in fulfilling it, and the great test that Shmuel was setting before him. This test fits in with the purpose of the entire war: emphasizing the need for total submission to the Divine command, out of recognition that the outcome of the war is entirely in God's hands, even when the command is difficult to fulfill and contradicts strategic logic.
And indeed in actual practice fulfillment of the command becomes more difficult from one minute to the next. The nation presumably worried enough already about a war that seems to be hopeless does not wholly stand up to the test, and the first signs of desertion begin to appear:
When the men of Israel saw that they were in a strait - for the people were distressed - then the people did hide themselves in caves, and in thickets, and in rocks, and in holds, and in pits. Now some of the Hebrews had gone over the Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilad; but as for Shaul, he was yet in Gilgal, and all the people followed him trembling. (6-7)[1]
In order to make the test even harder, Shmuel waits until the very last moment before arriving. He waits until the seventh day, and Shaul, who had promised the people that Shmuel would arrive on that day, finds himself in a very difficult situation:
And he tarried seven days, according to the time that Shmuel [had appointed][2]; but Shmuel came not to Gilgal; and the people were scattered from him. (8)
Here Shaul's test reaches its climax: Will he put his trust in God and his prophet Shmuel,[3] and manage to hold on to the people for a little longer, or will he surrender to the objective pressure from the outside and the subjective pressure from the inside, and go out to war on his own without waiting for God's command?
And Shaul said, Bring me the burnt-offering and the peace-offerings. And he offered the burnt-offering. And it came to pass that, as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt-offering, behold, Shmuel came; and Shaul went out to meet him, that he might salute him. (9-10)
Scripture emphasizes the tragic irony in Shaul's failure: Shaul wants to offer a burnt-offering and peace-offerings before going out to battle; he manages only to offer the burnt-offering, and Shmuel arrives. Thus, Scripture emphasizes that had Shaul waited a few minutes longer, he would have succeeded in fulfilling his mission. On the threshold of success, Shaul loses faith, and as a consequence, he loses the monarchy.
The story, however, does not end here. At this point Shmuel offers Shaul the opportunity to explain his actions: "And Shmuel said, What have you done?" (v. 11). Shaul response is comprised of three different answers:
And Shaul said,
(1) Because I saw that the people were scattered from me,
(2) and that you came not within the days appointed,
(3) and that the Pelishtim assembled themselves together against Michmas. Therefore said I, Now will the Pelishtim come down upon me to Gilgal, and I have not entreated the favour of the Lord; I forced myself (va-etapek[4]), and offered the burnt-offering. (vv. 11-12)
The common denominator of the first two answers is the fact that Shaul points his finger at others: at the people and at Shmuel. The third answer, however, conceals an ideological argument: Shaul did not wait for Shmuel because he feared that the Pelishtim would begin the battle and he would no longer be able to offer a sacrifice.
Shmuel does not relate in substantive manner to any of Shaul's arguments. All that he does is inform Shaul that he has lost his kingdom:
And Shmuel said to Shaul, You have done foolishly; you have not[5] kept the commandment of the Lord your God, which He commanded you; for now would the Lord have established your kingdom upon Israel for ever. But now your kingdom shall not continue; the Lord has sought[6] him a man after His own heart, and the Lord has appointed him to be prince over His people, because you have not kept that which the Lord commanded you. (13-14)
Scripture itself, however, expresses its position regarding Shaul's ideological argument, through its allusion to another incident, which is similar to the incident before us, namely, the sin involving the Golden Calf.
There are many similarities betweeen the two stories:
1) In both stories, we are dealing with the expected arrival of a leader Moshe or Shmuel[7] - whose delay arouses concern among the people:
And when the people saw that Moshe delays to come down from the mountain, the people gathered themselves together to Aharon, and said to him, Up, make us gods, who shall go before us; for as for this man Moshe, who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is become of him. (Shemot 32:1)
And he tarried seven days, according to the set time that Shmuel [had appointed]; but Shmuel came not to Gilgal Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that you came not within the days appointed. (I Shmuel 13:8-11)
2) In both stories, there is a leader of secondary importance Aharon or Shaul who is pressured by the people and who succumbs to that pressure.
3) The parallel wording found in the account of the offering of the sacrifices in the two stories is especially interesting:
And they rose up early on the morrow, and offered (va-yagishu) burnt offerings. (Shemot 32:6)
Bring (hagishu) me the burnt-offering and the peace-offerings. (I Shmuel 13:9)
These are the only two instances in Scripture in which the root n-g-sh is used in connection with peace offerings.
4) In both stories the leader arrives in the end and reprimands the secondary leader with a similar rhetorical question:
And Moshe said to Aharon, What has this people done to you? (Shemot 32:21)
And Shmuel said, What have you done? (I Shmuel 13:11)
5) The secondary leader justifies his action before the principal leader, by casting blame on the people:
And Aharon said, Let not the anger of my lord burn; you know the people, that they are bent on mischief. (Shemot 32:22)
And Shaul said, Because I saw that the people were scattered from me. (I Shmuel 13:11)
The secondary leader also alludes to the principal leader's responsibility for the debacle because of his tardiness:
For they said to me, Make us gods for as for this Moshe we know not what became of him. (Shemot 32:23)
And that you came not within the days appointed. (I Shmuel 13:11)
It seems that this entire comparison comes only to compare Shaul's sacrifice to the sacrifice brought before the Golden Calf. A sacrifice's value is based on one and only one thing: the fact that God commanded that the sacrifice be offered. When a person offers a sacrifice in clear violation of the Divine command, his sacrifice is no different than a sacrifice to the Golden Calf. Shaul's justification for his action demonstrates a lack of basic understanding of the world of mitzvot in general, and sacrifices in particular.[8]
To conclude this issue, I wish to emphasize one point. Many prophets warned about a situation in which Israel brought sacrifices as commanded, but at the same time committed all kinds of sins, between man and God and between man and his fellow man.[9] Shaul's twofold sin was a little different, and even more severe than the phenomenon railed against by the prophets. The prophets warned about offering sacrifices as commanded which in itself is something positive, but loses its meaning when it is not accompanied by appropriate religious behavior. In the case of Shaul, in contrast, we are dealing with the offering of forbidden sacrifices, because the very bringing of sacrifices without waiting for Shmuel as he had been instructed to do was problematic. Here Shaul's transgression was even more grievous than the evil practices of Israel, because his approach severed not only his specific action from his general conduct, but also his specific action from God's command. In order to emphasize the severity of this outlook, Scripture chose, through a literary device, to allude to the incident involving the Golden Calf the root of Israel's sins throughout the generations.[10]
Shmuel harshly rebukes Shaul and then departs, leaving Shaul all by himself:
And Shmuel arose, and got him up from Gilgal unto Giv'at-Binyamin. And Shaul numbered the people that were present with him, about six hundred men. And Shaul, and Yonatan his son, and the people that were present with them, abode in Giv'at-Binyamin; but the Pelishtim encamped in Michmas. (15-16)
Shaul's presence in Gilgal radiates a feeling of helplessness. His army, which at the beginning of the chapter had numbered three thousand men to which were added more men of Israel was now reduced to six hundred.[11] In contrast to his active role in the war against Ammon, and in contrast to the atmosphere of revolt appearing at the beginning of the chapter, now Shaul does not take any positive initiatives. It is the Pelishtim who take the initiative:
And the spoilers came out of the camp of the Pelishtim in three companies: one company turned unto the way that leads to Ofra, unto the land of Shu'al; and another company turned the way to Bet-Choron; and another company turned the way of the border that looks down upon the valley of Tzevo'im toward the wilderness. (17-18)
This stands in stark contrast to the war against Ammon in chapter 11. There is was Shaul who employed the very same tactic:
And it was so on the morrow, that Shaul put the people in three companies; and they came into the midst of the camp in the morning watch, and smote the Ammonites until the heat of the day . (I Shmuel 11:11)
It is evident then that the spirit of God that had accompanied Shaul in his war against Ammon was gone. Shaul is left now with no help from God, and since he is hesitant by nature (as we saw earlier in this series), he lacks the driving force that is needed in order to go out to war against the Pelishtim.[12]
Fortunately for Israel, God did not abandon His people during this battle. The deliverance that Shaul was unable to provide was brought by Yehonatan, as we shall see in the next lecture.
(Translated by David Strauss)
[1] Unless specified otherwise, all references to verses in this lecture are to I Shmuel 13.
[2] According to all the commentators, the verse is abridged. Rashi explains: "according to the time that Shmuel set [sam]," in the sense of "that Shmuel said to him." It is possible that Rashi uses the word 'sam' (rather than amar lo [Radak], higbil lo [Ralbag], or natan [Rid]), because this word could have been swallowed up by the next word 'Shmuel.' As we see below, v. 20: "Va-yerdu kol Yisrael ha-Pelishtim which might mean: "Va-yerdu kol Yisrael el ha-Pelishtim."
[3] Shmuel already proved the connection between the offering of sacrifices and victory in war: "And as Shmuel was offering up the burnt-offering, the Pelishtim drew near to battle against Israel; but the Lord thundered with a great thunder on that day upon the Pelishtim, and discomfited them; and they were smitten down before Israel" (I Shmuel 7:10).
[4] The meaning of the word le-hitapek in Scripture is sometimes the very opposite of its contemporary usage (refraining from doing a certain action, despite the desire to do it). As the Radak says: "The term hitapek always denotes forcing oneself to go against one's desire." Shaul means to say that he was forced to offer sacrifices against his will. Today we would say that Shaul did not mitapek, but rather brought a sacrifice.
[5] Radak understands the word "lo" in its plain sense, as "not," that is to say, as a rebuke that Shaul failed to keep God's commandment. It is reasonable to assume however that the word should be understood in the sense of "lu" "had you kept the commandment of the Lord your God" - because the end of the verse, "for now would the Lord have established your kingdom " is difficult to understand if lo means "not" [a clause that continues with "ki ata " is usually a condition opening with the word "lu"; see Bamidbar 22:29; below 14:30), or with the negative conditional term "lulei" (see Bereishit 43:10; ibid. 31:42)].
According to Radak, it might be that the clause must be read twice, first as a negation, and then again as a condition, so that the verse means: "You have done foolishly; you have not kept the commandment of the Lord your God, which He commanded you; for had you kept the commandment of the Lord your God, now would the Lord have established your kingdom upon Israel for ever." Regarding the possibility of reading a clause in Scripture twice, in two different senses, see Rashbam, Bereishit 36:2.
[6] The use of the past tense - "bikesh" (sought) - is strange, and can be understood in two different ways: Radak understands that it refers to the future: God will seek a man after His own heart, and appoint him to be prince over His people. But it is possible to understand that it refers to the past to the selection of Shaul himself, and the verse notes God's disappointment that He had sought a man of His own heart and appointed him as prince, but the appointment was unsuccessful, inasmuch as the chosen prince did not keep God's commandment.
[7] I dealt at length with the many parallels between Shmuel and Moshe in previous lectures, especially in chap. 3 (lecture no. 6) and chapters 7-8 (lectures 11-12).
[8] Shaul will later repeat this mistake. In his war against Amalek (chap. 15) Shaul justifies his failure in leaving the best of the sheep and the oxen in the hands of the people with these very same excuses: First, he shifts the blame on to the people: "For the people spared the best of the sheep and of the oxen But the people took of the spoil, sheep and oxen, the chief of the devoted things because I feared the people, and hearkened to their voice" (15:15-24). And then he provides an ideological answer: "They have brought them from the Amalekites to sacrifice unto the Lord your God But the people took of the spoil, sheep and oxen, the chief of the devoted things, to sacrifice unto the Lord your God in Gilgal" (ibid. 15-21). As opposed to what we find in our chapter, there Shmuel rejects both arguments, as we shall see below.
[9] See, for example, Yishayahu 1:10-17; Yirmiyahu 7:21-23; Hoshea 6:6; Amos 5:21-25; Mikha 4:6-8; Tehillim 51:18-19.
[10] According to Rabbi Yehuda Halevi (Kuzari, I, 97), one of the key elements in the Sin of the Golden Calf was serving God in a way that He had not commanded.
[11] The number "six hundred" may be a typological number used in connection with a Scriptural battalion, as we find in many places; see: Shoftim 3:31; 18:11; I Shmuel 26:2; II Shmuel 15:18.
[12] The chapter concludes with a dismal account of the weaponry in the hands of Israel, and the absolute Pelishti control over the metal industry in Eretz Yisrael, as we saw in the previous lesson: "Now there was no smith found throughout all the land of Israel; for the Pelishtim said, Lest the Hebrews make them swords or spears" (v. 19). For this reason, the people of Israel were forced to go down to the Pelishtim when they had to sharpen their agricultural tools: "But all the Israelites went down to the Pelishtim, to sharpen every man his plowshare, and his coulter, and his axe, and his mattock" (v. 20).
Scripture continues: "And the price of the filing was a pim for the mattocks, and for the coulters, and for the forks with three teeth, and for the axes; and to set the goads" (v. 21). The word "pim" is, of course, difficult, and creates a difficulty in understanding the entire verse. (See Rashi, ad loc., who understands the word as the plural of peh.) In the archeological excavations a weight marked as a "pim" was uncovered (see Encyclopedia Mikra'it, s.v. middot u-mishkalot, vol. 6, pp. 870-871). This discovery allows us to understand the word "pim" in this verse as referring to a coin of that weight. The Pelishtim exploited the situation and charged an especially high price for sharpening the Israelites' tools.

As much as some of us might like to cook, as much as we all want to put a home cooked dinner on the table as often as we can, the reality says that there will be nights when we need dinner to magically appear. The holiday season is precisely such a time – we are planning for those big family meals, but there are a lot of other nights in the week where dinner just needs to get on that table.
Luckily for all of us, the freezer aisle of the supermarket is ever evolving and ever improving, and there are so many great options out there. You can find all kinds of healthy, delicious, family-pleasing meals to stock up on, and then when you run in the door at 6:17 P.M., you know you've set yourself up for a quick solution to dinner.

El Monterey Mexican Food
My kids absolutely love it when "Mexican food" is the answer to what's for dinner. El Monterey makes some of their favorites, from super flaky Empanadas with White Meat Chicken or Beef (made by hand! That's amazing), Cheddar and Mozzarella Cheese, Quesadillas with Charbroiled Chicken and Monterey Jack Cheese, and Beef Tamales. I think it's also very cool that the company has been family owned since 1964 – that's pretty rare these days!
02 of 11
Jose Ole Mexican Food
Further along the Mexican theme, Jose Ole makes great individually wrapped burritos and chimichangas that you can pull out, pop into the microwave or oven, and have hot and ready in less than 2 minutes (the microwave cooking option obviously). Steak and Cheese, Steak and Jalapeno, and Chicken Monterey Burritos, and Chicken and Cheese, Steak and Cheese, and Chipotle Chicken Chimichangas were all met with immediate thumbs up. The chimichangas' flaky outer texture is best in the oven, if you're not in a rush.

Rosina Meatballs
These come in 4 varieties, Homestyle, Italian Style, Swedish and Turkey, and my family loved them all. I always try to keep a bag or two of frozen meatballs in the freezer. Those plus a jar of sauce and a box of spaghetti means that there is ALWAYS a good dinner in the house. My kids are never disappointed to hear it's spaghetti and meatballs for dinner.
04 of 11
Michael Angelo's Italian Food
This family owned company serves up the classics right to your freezer. The lasagna with meat sauce was completely devoured, and there was sadness that there wasn't a back up lasagna waiting to go. Eggplant Parmesan, Three Cheese Baked Ziti, Seafood Primavera, Shrimp Scampi, Chicken Alfredo, Manicotti with Sauce….the list of offerings reads like an Italian restaurant you wish was right in your neighborhood. No preservatives, fillers or chemicals.Continue to 5 of 11 below.

Luvo makes a really stellar assortment of heat and no-heat meals, some vegetarian, some not, some super kid-friendly, some more sophisticated. Having an array of these in the fridge means that anyone who needs a last minute meal will not feel shortchanged in the dinner departments Kale Ricotta Ravioli, Orange Mango Chicken, Red Wine Braised Beef and Polenta, Thai Style Green Curry Chicken, all made with recognizable ingredients….definitely proof that the freezer aisle is a happening place.

I was pretty sure these family sized frozen dinners of Shepherd's Pie and Chicken Pot Pie were going to be happy-making for my husband and teenage boys, and I wasn't disappointed. They thought the flavors of both were excellent. Organic, all natural, with short, clean ingredient lists – these feel somewhat like you froze your own homemade pot pies.

Amy's Family Size Meals
Again, all vegetarian all of the time. The meals serve 4 (though if you have older kids or are serving all adults, you might find the portions on the smaller size. But for 2 adults and 2 little kids, they are perfect. Our favorites were the Broccoli and Cheddar Bake, the Mac and Cheese (just a perennial kid pleaser) and the Vegetable Lasagna, and again all with very mild seasonings that err on the side of caution. Some of these choices are gluten free, such as the Rice Pasta Mac and Cheese, so check out the packaging if that is of interest.
08 of 11
Healthy Choice Simply Café Steamers
This is a line of very straightforward dishes, with nothing artificial added, and some varieties of which are pretty low in carbs (not that you are thinking about this for your kids, but you might be for yourself). Low carb varieties included Chicken and Broccoli Alfredo and the Chicken and Vegetable Stir Fry, which was a favorite. Chicken Fried Rice will appeal to those who like a bit of sweetness in their Asian food, and the kids were very into the Meatball Marinara. All have a very controlled amount of calories and fat and a nice amount of protein.Continue to 9 of 11 below.
09 of 11
Lemon Grass Kitchen
Two servings in each bag, created by Chef Mai Pham, these Southeast Asian dishes let you shake up dinner without a take-out menu. A broad array of choices includes Lemongrass Chicken Stir-Fry, Chicken Pad Thai, Chicken and Broccoli Noodles and a spicy Korean-Style Grilled Chicken. A fun night would be an assortment of several put out buffet style.
10 of 11
Ravino Ravioli
Boy, were these good. We did a taste test with some older kids, and I did not share what was inside, because I didn't want the kids to just gravitate to the cheese version, but all four were gobbled up. These included Cheese, Spinach and Ricotta, Mushroom and Fontina, and Chickpea and Kale. All super delicate in terms of the semi-sheer dough wrappers, but very satisfying.
11 of 11
Stouffer's Lasagna
This isn't exactly a new discovery in the freezer aisle – Stouffer's has been one of the biggest players in the frozen food aisle for decades, and lasagna is one of their classic dishes. However, Stouffer's is starting with their lasagna as they embark upon their new Kitchen Cupboard campaign, which aims to make the ingredient lists of their products shorter and more recognizable to the consumer. We can look forward to seeing other items in their collection reflecting a cleaner, simpler ingredient list.
