Apologies, I thought that db posting the link to the story yesterday was enough context. My "faith group code" is still listed, so I have no skin in this game.
They kept Druid?
Ha! Maybe one of the 3 kinds of Wiccan they had listed, but I guess fall under No Religion, even though they used to have No Religion, Atheist, and Humanist listed. I just post about Celtic festivals from a cultural perspective, rather than a religious one.
...HEAT ADVISORY NOW IN EFFECT FROM NOON THURSDAY TO 8 PM EDT FRIDAY...
* WHAT...Heat index values up to near 100 expected.
* WHERE...Portions of northeast New Jersey and southeast New York.
* WHEN...From noon Thursday to 8 PM EDT Friday.
* IMPACTS...Hot temperatures and high humidity may cause heat illnesses.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
A Heat Advisory is issued when the combination of heat and humidity is expected to make it feel like it is 95 to 99 degrees for two or more consecutive days, or 100 to 104 degrees for any length of time.
Seniors and those with chronic health problems or mental health conditions are at an increased risk. Homes without air conditioning can be much hotter than outdoor temperatures.
Use air conditioning to stay cool at home or go to a place that has air conditioning. If you don`t have home air conditioning, continue to seek out cool spaces each day as long as it remains hot, and for a few days after if your home is still hot. Check on vulnerable friends, family members and neighbors.
To reduce risk during outdoor work, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration recommends scheduling frequent rest breaks in shaded or air conditioned environments. Anyone overcome by heat should be moved to a cool and shaded location. Heat stroke is an emergency! In cases of heat stroke call 9 1 1.
It’s not a holiday or observance here, but today is the 60th anniversary of the US Supreme Court decision in Miranda v Arizona. It was the decision that established the legal requirement for police to inform someone they are arresting of their legal rights in the situation. Such as the right to the presence of an attorney, and the right to keep silent.
“Read him his rights” has become a pop culture substitute for “place him under arrest”.
We watch a number of police procedural TV shows which I generally enjoy. But they all seem to frequently rely on suspects making confessions without a lawyer presence. If our teenage daughter is watching with us, I always remind her that if she ever finds herself in any kind of negative interaction with the police, the only thing she should say is “I’d like an attorney present.”
This is proof that no matter who you support or why someone will have a reason to oppose them. I supported Fulop mainly because I thought he would take NJ transit issues and municipal consolidation seriously. I don't know what his position was on animal shelters.
I was told by Sheena that he had a high rating on animal advocacy.
I've been explaining to neighbors in both towns that the Essex County funding for TNR is being withheld by Associated Humane. They contracted with People for Animals to do free TNR. The rules were anyone who trapped a community cat could bring it for free spay or neuter, with ear tip, without an appointment. One cat per person per day. I was doing it for people, had a couple of friends who helped and we succeeded in preventing more births. PFA performed the surgery, AHS would pay them and get reimbursed by the county. That just ended at the height of kitten season. We are now getting calls about dead kittens or cats with litters born in garages. Imagine a child walking into their garage and finding a dead kitten.
Not anyone's fault, just pregnant homeless cats looking for a place to give birth. The litter in the picture was an emergency. One kitten had fallen off the shelf in a closed garage and was presumed to be dead. I rushed it to Valley Vet, it was hyperthermic, dying. I was able to catch the mother and get the baby and other kittens into a carrier. I held them till a could find a foster.
I can't do TNR alone with no place to do recovery. At minimum I need a recovery spot to hold a few cats at a time until they can be released.
Also a small fund held by the town for spay neuter of community cats.
And the best help would be a couple of small rooms in a public spot for the kittens who are found to meet adopters.
I've lived here for 30 years and been rescuing for 25, 15 of those as a registered non-profit but with no shelter, and an ACO company with no shelter, and no place to do TNR, I'm a cat swimming upstream.
We’ve discussed the first paragraph of the Horton excerpt. Here’s the second:
The next year, the new Rada, led by the Nazis, passed supposed “de-communization laws” that prohibited criticism of fascists in Ukrainian history. The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum issued a statement saying they were “deeply concerned” about how this law would be used to rehabilitate the OUN and UPA.
So you verified that the Rada was led by Nazis — Nazis who passed, among the “de-communization laws,” one that was titled “Condemning Communist and National Socialist (Nazi) Totalitarian Regimes in Ukraine and Prohibiting the Propaganda of Their Symbols.”
You also read the Holocaust museum’s statement for yourself, seeing that in addition to expressing concern about the laws it said that “we applaud Ukraine for the initial steps it has taken” toward an honest examination of its national past.
And you didn’t stop at two paragraphs. You continued in this vein, checking Horton sentence by sentence to maintain your trust in his reliability. I salute your commitment to factual and contextual accuracy.
Jewish guy who says good things about Hitler gets a pass from Nan because he shares her pro-Russian, anti-Ukrainian views. Jewish guys who's the president of Ukraine gets attacked by Nan because, for rather obvious reasons, he doesn't share her views.
Trump this morning - don't believe the people who told you he had a peace deal with Iran. Quote: "Very dishonorable people to deal with. With them, there is no such thing as dealing in good faith. AMAZING!"
No one would know more about being "dishonorable", "not dealing in good faith" and "pathetic" than Donald J Trump.
