R.Danny Witt, President Art & Carol Bergeron, Editors 5500 Ashton Park Way 3901 Paces Ferry Road Glen Allen, VA 23059 Chester, VA 23831-1239 September 2000 PROGRAM William J. Miller "Making Stonewall: Federal Intentions in the Valley in 1862" 8:00 p.m., Tuesday, September 12, 2000 Boulevard United Methodist Church, 321 N. Boulevard, Richmond, VA (corner of Boulevard and Stuart Ave.) Enter basement door from Boulevard side. Was Stonewall Jackson's Valley Campaign really the brilliant operation writers have made it out to be? Was it the masterwork of a military genius or a "no brainer against" third-rate opponents? William J. Miller will seek answers through an analysis of the campaign from a Federal perspective, discussing John C. Fremont, Nathaniel P. Banks, Abraham Lincoln, Edwin Stanton, George B. McClellan, James Shields, and William S. Rosecrans and what they were attempting to do in western Virginia in the spring of 1862. Miller received his bachelor's degree in English from Villanova University and his master's degree in English from the University of Delaware. He is the author or editor of six volumes on Civil War history, including the award-winning Mapping for Stonewall: The Civil War Service of Jed Hotchkiss (1993); The Training of an Army: Camp Curtin and the North's Civil War (1990); and The Men of Fort Ward (1990). Miller has had articles and book reviews published in various periodicals, including Civil War Regiments and America's Civil War. A former editor of Civil War Magazine, he is the recipient of the Jefferson Davis Medal presented for historical writing by the United Daughters of the Confederacy. Miller has published more than 90 articles on Civil War history and is now editing the papers of Jed Hotchkiss for publication by the University of North Carolina Press in 2001. He is active in historic preservation as a member of the advisory boards of Protect Historic America and the Kernstown Battlefield Association.
James L. Conrad "The Confederate Naval Academy" Review of the August Program Colonel James Lee Conrad presented an extremely informative talk on the history of the Confederate States Naval Academy. Conrad pointed out that Jefferson Davis and the Confederacy never developed a military academy because of the number of military schools that existed in the South. However, naval training required some technical skills like mathematics, navigation, and naval gunnery that made it necessary to have a school to train the new country's future naval officers. Thus, in April 1862, the Confederate Congress began filling appointments to a naval academy in Richmond. Secretary of the Navy Stephen R. Mallory and Commander John Mercer Brooke were instrumental in getting the school started, and it came under the superintendency of Lieutenant William H. Parker. The C. S. S. Patrick Henry became the school ship and was stationed at Drewry's Bluff on the James River. When classes began in October 1863, many of the midshipmen, or "reefers," who reported had already seen some action. Some 106 young men received appointments, but the Patrick Henry could not accommodate all of them. She had room for only 52 midshipmen and the 20 officers, professors, and crewmembers. The academy's curriculum resembled that of the United States Naval Academy but also provided some first-hand experience in practical seamanship. Rules aboard the Patrick Henry were very strict, and midshipmen were expected to "abstain from all vicious and amoral conduct." The academy's proximity to Richmond and fairly liberal leave policy sometimes made this difficult for the young reefers. On occasion, some of the midshipmen would leave the academy to participate in active operations. Some of them participated in an expedition near Savannah, Georgia, which captured the Union vessel Water Witch. Under Captain John Taylor Wood, other reefers joined the attack on the Federal garrison at New Berne, North Carolina, in February 1864. This expedition failed, but the naval detachment succeeded in capturing and destroying the gunboat Underwriter. Conrad gave a vivid description of the reception of the heroic reefers by the young ladies along their route back to Richmond. When Major General Benjamin F. Butler's Army of the James threatened Richmond during the Bermuda Hundred Campaign of May 1864, a number of midshipmen left the academy to either serve on warships of the James River Squadron or in the batteries at Drewry's Bluff and along the Howlett Line. Lieutenant Parker realized by early 1865 the desperate situation of the Confederate capital, so he asked Secretary Mallory for instructions on where to move the academy if Richmond should be evacuated. When that event occurred on the night of April 2, 1865, Parker and 50 of his reefers were given responsibility for escorting Jefferson Davis and the Confederacy's gold reserves southward. From Manchester, the treasure train moved to Danville, where it remained for six days. The midshipmen continued the escort through Greensboro and Charlotte and finally detrained at Abbeville, South Carolina. There they moved the gold to wagons and eventually put it in bank vaults in Augusta, Georgia. Returning to Abbeville, Parker disbanded the corps of midshipmen on May 2, 1865. Conrad pointed to two positive legacies of the Confederate Naval Academy. First, it provided well-trained officers to the Confederate navy. Unfortunately, the new nation could have used the reefers to better advantage by elevating them more quickly. Second, the academy gave young men a chance at a good education, one that would benefit them in the post-war years.

Introduction: Hotrod Bike Trailer
I was inspired by this instructable https://www.instructables.com/id/Red-Baron-Childs-Bicycle-Trailer/
I decided to modify the design a bit and make a hotrod for my kiddo with red interior and flames. The material is all purchased from the local hardware store. The base is a 1" x16" 36" pine. The sides are 1"x12"x36 pine. The curved rear is made of thin 1/4" ply. I soaked it in water for about 30 minutes then bent it over the frame, nailing it every 3 inches or so. Next time i'll probably just use some sheet metal. I had the conduit laying around and purchased the wheels and the little switches. Then primed and painted it with gloss black and apple red. I traced the flames on some paper and cutout stencils so both sides match. To bend the trailer arm, since i didn't have a conduit bender, was just to put one foot on it about 16 " from one end and pull up on it until a got the correct angle. The hitch is just a piece of steel strapping i bent into a "U" shape and a locking pin from the hardware store.

I love this design. I would have put a boot (trunk) on it with opening at the top behind the seat to put shopping in. And one in the front if there was room after leg room. I am thinking of making one and hope my grandkids will like to go in it. :)
What kind of wheels are those? Do you happen to have a model number?
I got them from harbor freight. Standard 10" cart wheel
Very cool. A steering wheel would be a nice touch.
I can't tell from the photos, but do you have some padding and a seat belt for the kid ?
Right now I have a pillow in the bottom as a cushion. I'm still trying to find a matching cushion or will just make my own. The seat belt was added after. It's nylon strapping with the safety snaps similar to what's on shopping carts.
Very cool project.
This would make any kid happy. Nice job!
ow be a cool bike
thats SWEEEEEEEET ! How did you attach the conduit to the trailer? How are the wheels attached ?
There are two holes drilled in the side of the conduit and thru the body of the trailer. Held in place with a couple of bolts and lock nuts. The end of the conduit near the wheel also has a conduit brace to keep it from wiggling around.
The wheels have an aluminum axle bought at the the hardware store for about 3 dollars. Washers are on each side of the wheels and i drilled a hole in each end of the axle and keep it all in place with some codder pins. The axle is held from the bottom with some 1/2" clamps screwed through the floor of the trailer. The chrome trim and the pin stripping (hard to see in the pictures) were bought from the auto store.
Working on it. The Instructables site decided to rotate them when i hit the publish button. Trying to fix it.
It seems a nice trailer with quite a lot of work put into it. But why not take another 5 minutes to rotate the pictures!!!

The Samsung Galaxy S5 Mini has hit the news wires again, although this time around, it has made its way to the land of India under the guise of testing. While there were a couple of variations of the Galaxy S5 Mini spotted which depict two different chipsets, what we have today is the SM-G800H model that is touted to feature Dual SIM capability. Oh, apart from that, it does seem as though the SM-G800F is also in the pipeline, although this particular model does seem to be making its way to Europe when the time comes, in the same vein as that of the G900F, which is the vanilla Samsung Galaxy S5.
Indian import tracking website Zauba is the one behind such information, where it carried a fair number of Galaxy S5 Mini models that have made their way to that part of the world. All of the models so far do seem to sport 4.5″ touchscreen displays, although it must be said that the SM-G800H has been reported to feature a 4.8″ display in a benchmark before. Still, that could come across as a mistake. As for the SM-G800A, this model looks set to feature a 2.3GHz processor, which means it could land with either the Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 or the Snapdragon 801.

In a front page exposé on January 4, The Washington Post revealed that sneaky Persian agitators are conspiring to thwart the Pentagon's noble aim of keeping 10,000-30,000 US troops in Afghanistan on "non-permanent," "non-US" bases after "all foreign troops are supposed to be withdrawn" in 2014, just as these sneaky Persians conspired to thwart the Pentagon's noble aim of keeping US troops in Iraq.
The Post story is quite instructive, even if it is not exactly "news" in the common sense of the term. It presents the world from the point of view of diehard Pentagon revanchists who want to keep US troops in Muslim countries forever against the will of the majority of Americans and against the will of the majority of people who live in these countries. It presents this diehard Pentagon revanchist view as if there were no interests in the world besides those of Pentagon revanchists and wily Persian agitators, such as the interests of the majority of people who happen to live in the United States, Afghanistan and Iraq. Of course, in the worldview of the diehard Pentagon revanchist, the concerns of these mere residents are largely irrelevant if they have no military implications. How many divisions do these mere residents control? These mere residents are just pawns in a game of Pentagon-sneaky Persian chess.
It is a story, moreover, that is spectacularly contradicted by the Post's own previous reporting, as well as that of other major American newspapers.
The story informs us:
Iran's strategy in Afghanistan is reminiscent of its maneuvering in Iraq, where it helped fuel the insurgency and persuaded Iraqi politicians not to yield on allowing the Americans a small military presence beyond 2011.
That gives the game away, doesn't it? Here we have a diehard Pentagon revanchist causation story for why the Obama administration did not succeed in renegotiating the Bush administration's agreement to withdraw all US troops from Iraq by the end of 2011: it was because sneaky Persians persuaded Iraqi politicians not to yield. If it hadn't been for the meddling of those sneaky Persians, those Iraqi politicians would have been like putty in the Pentagon's hands. "And I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you meddling kids!"
That's instructive, isn't it?
There are certainly competing causation stories for why the Obama administration complied with the Bush agreement, which you would have no idea about from reading this article. There is the John McCain/neocon story, which is that the Obama administration did not try hard enough to negotiate a new agreement to keep US troops in Iraq, because President Obama didn't have enough enthusiasm for the Pentagon/neocon keep-troops-in-Iraq-forever project. There is the Obama administration's main causation story, which is that they did try, but the Iraqi Parliament would not agree to immunity for US troops from Iraqi prosecution for committing crimes. There is the anti-war activists' causation story, which is that it was to force US troops to be withdrawn that we knocked on doors for Ned Lamont in Connecticut and Barack Obama in Indiana. There is the US public opinion causation story, which is that US military withdrawal from Iraq is what the overwhelming majority of Americans wanted, including the majority of Republicans.
And then there is the causation story that actually appeared in the news pages of The Washington Post and The New York Times at the time that the final withdrawal was announced: Iraqis wouldn't tolerate for US troops to stay, because the Pentagon killed too many Iraqi civilians and no one was held responsible.
Liz Sly reported in The Washington Post:
In the accounting of what was won and lost in America's Iraq war, [Haditha] will rank as a place where almost everything was lost…. in dueling [Iraqi and American] perceptions, over the killings in Haditha and others nationwide, lay the undoing of the US military's hopes of maintaining a long-term presence here. When it came to deciding the future of American troops in Iraq, the irreconcilable difference that stood in the way of an agreement was a demand by Iraqi politicians for an end to the grant of immunity that has protected on-duty US soldiers from Iraqi courts.
"The image of the American soldier is as a killer, not a defender. And how can you give a killer immunity?" said Sami al-Askari, a lawmaker who is also a close aide to Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.
Michael Schmidt reported in The New York Times:
Charges were dropped against six of the accused Marines in the Haditha episode, one was acquitted and the last remaining case against one Marine is scheduled to go to trial next year.
That sense of American impunity ultimately poisoned any chance for American forces to remain in Iraq, because the Iraqis would not let them stay without being subject to Iraqi laws and courts, a condition the White House could not accept.
What are we to make, then, of the Pentagon's kvetching that sneaky Persians are trying to obstruct its noble aim to keep US troops in Afghanistan forever, given that keeping US troops in Afghanistan forever is not what the majority of Americans want and that many people who happen to live in Afghanistan actually have their own legitimate reasons for opposing the Pentagon's plans, such as the Pentagon's hated night raids into Afghans' private homes, without which the Pentagon claims there is no point in having US troops there?
It's been a very heavy lift, working to get US politicians and the Pentagon to bend to the will of the majority of Americans who don't want US troops fighting in these countries forever for the ability to keep US troops in these countries against the will of the people who live there. But here's some consolation for our slow progress in holding our own public institutions accountable to our will: the sneaky Persians have reportedly been doing the bidding of the majority of Americans, even though we never voted for them and give them none of our tax dollars. We can't even send flowers to the sneaky Persians for their yeoman service to US public opinion; that's prohibited under US sanctions. But we can congratulate the sneaky Persians for their apparent success in our shared endeavor: Mazl tov!
(Note: I am indebted to "Axis of Evil Tour" comedian Maz Jobrani for the phrase, "sneaky Persian.")

Science of sinkholes: How do they form, and why, explained
Meteorologist/Science Writer
Tuesday, November 8, 2016, 10:01 AM - Sinkholes are scary. As if we don't already have enough to worry about in life from things on the ground or above it, the ground itself can suddenly open up under our home, our feet, or even our vehicle when we're travelling along at highway speeds, with little to no warning. So, what's happening here? Exactly what are sinkholes, and how do they occur?
Sinkholes have one of the most straight-forward, self-explanatory names we've ever given to something, because they are - quite literally - holes that form from sinking earth.
The process behind how they form is fairly straight-forward as well. It's just a combination of water, erosion and time. As water flows through the ground, it filters its way through the grains of dirt, rock and sand in the top soil and even through the grains of the underlying bedrock. If that bedrock is made of something like gypsum, limestone or dolomite, the water can wear it away, simply by dissolving away some of the sediments that make up the rock. This can take a long time with normal water, but with constant or repeated exposure, this can carve large holes and even extensive cave systems through the bedrock. If the water happens to be acidic, however, such as from absorbing carbon dioxide before it trickles down through the top-soil, this can dramatically speed up the process.
In either case, the water will eat away at the bedrock, possibly cracking it apart and exposing deeper layers of the sedimentary rock to the erosion as well. It's also possible that the water could eat away at the interior of the bedrock first, with the hole eventually working its way up to the soil resting on top - which is called 'overburden' for very obvious reasons.
Once the overburden is exposed to the eroded area of bedrock, exactly what happens will depend on what kind of soil it is.
If the overburden is a loose, sandy soil, the bottom grains will wash or sink down through the depression or cracks in the bedrock, and the loosely-packed layers above will follow, causing the entire overburden to slump down to fill the void. This will continue, sometimes fast or slow depending on how quickly the bedrock erodes away, and the sinkhole can eventually extend all the way down to the bedrock. This is called a cover-subsidence sinkhole.
However, a far more dramatic case is when the overburden is made of clay. Since the clay sticks together much easier than sandy soil, it won't all slump down into the hole in the bedrock. Instead, the water flow constantly picks away at the bottom of the layer of clay, forming a larger and larger cavern that comes closer and closer to the surface. When the strength of the remaining layer can't hold up to the gravity pulling it down, it will suddenly give-way into the abyss below.
In fortunate cases, there won't be anything but open ground above the abyss, but in other cases, this can instantly swallow a showroom full of valuable cars, or open up underneath a car on the road, under someone's home, or even under their feet. Appropriately, these are known as cover-collapse sinkholes.
As the above video from Louisiana shows, we don't necessarily see all of these holes form, as this one opened up underneath the water, dragging several trees down into it.
Where these sinkholes happen is something that's not as straight-forward as their name and how they form. Scientists have a good idea of the areas that are most prone, simply based on geological surveys and knowing that they form most often in Karst landforms and 'evaporate' rocks (salt and gypsum). One way to tell if you live in one of these 'prone' areas is if the region is known for having extensive cave systems carved into the bedrock. Geological surveys can have a wealth of information on the subject, but another more readily available source is from groups that seek these areas out as a hobby (ie: cavers).
However, actually knowing when and where they're going to form is another matter. There is some hope, though. Recently NASA announced that by using radar data from airborne missions and satellites, they can monitor the movement of soil to catch some sinkholes before they open up. There's no telling when such a 'sinkhole forecast system' might actually become a reality, though, so until then it seems we're just going to have to stay informed and take our chances.

Vacant hours in the afternoon sometimes make the youth bored. In order to avoid them from irresponsible activity which might lead them to crime, asking them to do sport is a good idea.
22. Giving Pleasure.
The youths have to know that sport is a game. Therefore, it is aimed to make participants happy. As the first introduction, the youths can learn how to run, jump, throw, catch, swim, dive and etc. Practicing them at the first stage will give the concept to the youths that sport is a fun thing so that they will easily practice it.

Flexible muscles can prevent the youths to suffer from cramp, sprain, and back problems. Doing sport can increase the strength of the youths' muscles as well as their posture quality so that they have such an adorable performance. Yoga is the best sport to increase the coordination of body parts.
24. Perfect Sleeping Pattern.
A study shows that someone who does sports in the morning will have a better sleeping pattern at night than someone who does sport in the afternoon. This is because the muscles need time to relax and back to normal after doing sport. The youths are suggested to practice this since they will have longer time to rest among their hectic schedules.

Poinsettia leaves drop early due to cold
Dear Dr. Dirt: The leaves of my poinsettia didn't last long. Soon after the plant was in the house, the leaves began falling. Will it get new leaves? Judy, Indianapolis
Dear Reader: Poinsettias have come a long way since their introduction to the United States from Mexico. Fifty years ago, a week or 10 days was about as long as plants would remain attractive. Now you an expect two to three months and even longer with a little care. One thing that has not been improved is the chill factor.
The peak time for poinsettia movement from point of purchase to their new home is the two weeks after Thanksgiving. And during that time period last year, the weather was brutal! As a result, many plants were chilled, which encourages early leaf drop. Plants must be sleeved or in plastic bags when transporting them even for a short distance in cold weather. Once the leaves fall it will be several months before new leaves develop.
However, you can salvage the beauty of the plants by pruning some of your evergreens. Take 10- to 14-inch cuttings of hemlock, juniper, pine, spruce or Japanese yew, remove the lower 2 or 3 inches of the foliage, and stick the cuttings in the pot to hide the bare stems. The evergreen foliage will make a nice backdrop for the colorful poinsettia bracts. Place the plants in a bright location (3 to 4 feet from a window), fertilize every three weeks, and make sure the pot has drainage. This often means adding a few holes to the decorative pot wrap.
Dear Dr. Dirt: Do you know of any "rescue" groups for large plants? We have a potted Norfolk Island pine that we bought about eight years ago. It is becoming too large for our ceiling. I don't want it to die, so I am hoping to find a place where I can donate it. Kathy
Dear Reader: If you really want to donate the plant, start with the local schools. Biology classes often study plants, and the Norfolk Island pine is attractive and easy to maintain.
However, a solution to your problem is air layering. It takes a few months, but it's a good way to develop a new plant from the old one.
About 18 to 24 inches below the top of the plant remove about an inch-wide band of bark around the main stem of the plant. With a sharp knife, carefully make an upward cut about halfway through the stem and insert a toothpick to hold the cut open. Take two handfuls of moist peat moss and shape it like a football around the cut. Then take a plastic bag and cover the peat moss. Use twist ties to tie each end of the "football." Root Tone is a powder used to encourage rooting, and it is optional to speed the process.
Rooting should take place in about two months. You will see the roots through the plastic. Once rooted, remove the "football" and cut the stem below the roots. Using potting soil, transplant the new plant. Take the top branch of the remaining plant, and gently bend it upward. Use a dowel rod as a stake tied to the main stem to tie the bent branch, which will become the new plant leader. Eventually it can be air layered.
Dear Dr. Dirt: Do lavender plants need to be cut back at the end of the season? If so, when is the proper time to do so? Steve, Carmel
Dear Reader: Lavender is not pruned in the fall. Wait until you see the first of the new growth in mid-spring to prune away last year's growth. Deadhead after the first flush of bloom to encourage a second bloom. If only a few plants are involved, use hand pruners. For large areas, use hedge shears.
When lavender plants have not been pruned for several years they become leggy. To renovate the plants, prune them back to 6 to 8 inches high. This should encourage the plants to grow dense and neat looking.
Dear Dr. Dirt: I have a small willow oak tree that I would like to protect from the ravages of winter. Any suggestions? Bill, Indianapolis
Dear Reader: The willow oak, Quercus phellos, is typically found growing south of Indiana, although Dirr rates it as a 5-7 climatic zone tree. Brehob Nursery, Indiana's largest wholesale nursery, does not offer the tree, which speaks louder than words. I first observed this beautiful tree on the U.S. Naval Academy campus in Annapolis, Md. Mature trees have a height of around 50 feet and a spread of about 35 feet. The dark green leaves are 3 to 5 inches long and less than an inch wide, very much like the willow. Thus, its name. the name, willow oak.
Sun scald on the south and west side of the tree trunk is a serious problem of young newly transplanted trees, which stand alone. In nurseries, the trees are planted close together in rows. Thus, they shade one another. Sun scald can be reduced and even prevented by wrapping the trunk with newspaper in the fall or early winter. This stops the sun rays from warming the bark and causing the sap to flow during the day, only to have the temperature go below freezing at night. The newspaper wrap is removed in early spring.

Zimbabwe Cricket
Zimbabwe XI gave a more positive performance against Australia 'A' on the first of the second four day match being played at Harare Sports club on Thursday. The home side was 250/5 at stumps. This is the second and final match between the two sides; Australia won the first match by seven wickets at the Country Club on Monday.
Four major changes were made in the Zimbabwean starting line-up. Captain Brendan Taylor and Raymond Price returned from injuries which ruled them out of the first match while fast bowlers Kyle Jarvis and Chris Mpofu were the other two additions. The four came in to replace Malcolm Waller, Keagan Meth, Tendai Chatara and Njabulo Ncube.
The opening pair got off to a slow start after Zimbabwe had won the toss and chosen to bat. Vusi Sibanda (33), though the major contributor in the 46 run partnership, was the first to depart after being bowled by Mitchell Starc. Tino Mawoyo was caught in the 27th over after labouring long and hard for an innings of 24 from 78 balls. By lunch Zimbabwe was 103/2 with Brendan Taylor and Hamilton Masakadza at the crease.
It was a very solid and the typical Taylor and Masakadza partnership. The pair added 96 runs for the third wicket, with Masakadza scoring a fluent 64 off 141 balls in a concrete innings which featured 11 boundaries. Captain Brendan Taylor clung on, partnering Craig Ervine (34) and looked set to finish being there at the close of play but I was not to be as Luke Butterworth trapped him leg before wicket with the new ball for 85 from 176 deliveries.
Butterworth struck again, this time inducing the outside edge of Craig Ervine. Regis Chakabva and night watchman Raymond Price are yet to get off the mark as the home side will be hoping to set a competitive total in their first innings. Butterworth was the pick of the Australian bowlers with figures of two for 28 in 13 overs which included seven maidens.
Play commences at 0930hrs the next day.

The Gesher (bridge in Hebrew) organization has initiated a convoy of individuals who will be traveling to Ashdod on Friday to purchase supplies and food for Shabbat.
The purpose of the initiative, called "Go South", is to purchase products from shops that have been suffering from a lack of business over the last two weeks because of the ongoing rocket attacks from Gaza. Ashdod is just one of many cities that have been targeted by countless rockets and missiles.
The participants in "Go South" will be purchasing the food and supplies from local shops and will then deliver them to Israelis in dire need throughout the south. Gesher hopes that this project will harness the current sense of unity and use it as a catalyst to get Jews of all walks of life to come together for something bigger and concrete. The organization expects the convoy to consist of at least 200 Israelis from the center of the country.
Life in southern Israel began to return to normal on Thursday, as a ceasefire between Israel and Gaza's terrorist rulers took effect the previous evening. For the first time in more than two weeks the residents got out of their homes and visited the local shops and restaurants, which have been forced to close because of the onslaught of rockets.
Gaza terrorists fired 20 rockets at southern Israel in the first few hours after the ceasefire took effect, but it has been maintained since. Some schools in southern Israel are to re-open on Friday, and the rest are expected to re-open on Sunday.
The latest round of violence has cost factories and businesses NIS 200 million (about $55 million) as a result of damage to offices, stores, and factories, as well as operating expenses. The figure does not include damages to individuals' homes and property.
A business owner from southern Israel who was interviewed on Channel 10 News on Thursday called Israelis from the north and the center to come to the south to support the businesses there as they recover.
The Gesher organization has dedicated its work to bridging the gaps between different segments of Israeli society, so that together they can develop an identity that reflects a shared commitment to Israel as a Jewish and democratic state.
Gesher's programs infuse Israel's youth, army, police force, communities and the public at large with Jewish values and culture and by advancing a vibrant and inclusive vision of Judaism. The organization has reached over one million Jews over the past 40 years.

Kevin De Bruyne is a player who has an important position in Manchester City's core squad. Since joining City in 2015 from Werder Bremen, De Bruyne has bagged 50 goals and 86 assists in the 209 total matches he has played.
Therefore, the departure of De Bruyne from City will certainly be a loss for City in their main squad. This is because there are no other players who can change the position of De Bruyne itself. https://www.judibolaterbaik.co/
Rumors had arisen if De Bruyne will leave the City. But it was denied by him and said to settle in the City following a contract that was mutually agreed upon.
Prohibition of playing for 2 seasons
Manchester City was sentenced by UEFA in the form of being banned from playing in the Champions League for 2 seasons. Surely this is a problem for City itself because as one of the best teams in the Premier League, they also want to get a prestigious title in Europe.
The Citizen was sentenced because it was proven to violate the rules of the Financial Fair Play (FFP). Penalty for two seasons is certainly too long, both by the club and the players. From this, too, De Bruyne had thought back to his career in the City.
Sign a new contract
To prevent his players from leaving the club, City reportedly submitted contracts to their key players, one of whom was De Bruyne. De Bruyne himself still has a fairly long contract with City, which is until 2003.
De Bruyne himself is considered to be a City player who gets the second highest salary in the City squad. In the new contract proposed by City, reportedly contains an agreement in the form of a salary increase as well as a newer, longer contract.
Optimistic wins appeal
The Citizen has appealed the matter. The club itself believes that if the appeal they submit will be accepted and can reduce the penalty they get. Their hope, at least the City can reduce the punishment obtained for 1 season.
This is also a consideration for De Bruyne to continue to choose to stay in City. He felt if the club could win it. With a long period of play for 1 season, he also felt no objection to the sentence.
Rumors of a move to another club
Because the punishment handed down by UEFA to City prevented its players from competing in the elite league, many of the top clubs were prepared to accommodate them as berths and fugitives from City.
De Bruyne was briefly rumored to the news. Reportedly, even some giant clubs are eyeing and preparing to bring it in, such as Real Madrid and Barcelona.
The most important asset for City
De Bruyne is one of the most important assets owned by City today. Under the tutelage of Pep Guardiola, De Bruyne seems to be a general for the other City players.
Plus, about David Silva's contract which will expire soon next season. The plan, the position of the captain who has been held by David Silva will be given to De Bruyne because it is more suitable and suitable than other players.

This afternoon, I heard them again – the researchers – presenting findings on student engagement in schools. This time, they spoke as part of a public radio interview and sketched out not only their findings- that students were not engaged and were not being challenged – but also their recommendations. What a surprise to discover well meaning practices had proven ineffective. Like it or not, we have been wasting everyone's time. Staying this course would be piping vital life force into a failing enterprise. Besides, kids said they were bored!
Recommendations like these, delivered with messianic zeal, come from a deep well of good intention. Imagine the roving researcher, caught on tape, tucking a clipboard under her arm, leaning into the wind, and heading forward to save me from myself – if only she could get the right findings into the right hands, another mistake might be prevented and another life might be saved.
I admit that I do need the help. But I live in that gray area between the golden glow of what ought to be and the tattered realm of what is. In my profession – education – everyone wants to offer advice. But the glow of the offer is not an assurance of its utility. If help offered is to become help applied, what kind of conversation needs to take place with the man (or woman) in the middle?
How about a bit of a fairy tale to clarify:
There once was a village where plumbing was old and crumbling. Knowledgeable ones discovered the severity of the problem and presented their findings and recommendations to the town mayor. But, scarce funds and other emergencies ensured that the mayor took no action. Then one Sunday morning, pipes burst. For days raw sewage flowed through the town's streets, stinking up just about everything. Those with knowledge looked from their balconies and tsk-tsked the situation. We told you so they said. Villagers, seeing that they could not ignore the mess, asked these sages to help with digging up the pipes and sandbagging in front of doors. No was the answer. That's not our role. You will have to figure out solutions all on your own.
So, thanks for the input. Now, how can you help? That's the re-organizing question that needs to drive how we measure the measurers. Whether your advice results in impact – and whether you are willing to participate in bringing about the change you seek – That's a model that long ago fell into disuse as folks detached themselves from an obligation to the health of the whole.
Help me by standing where I am standing. Standing with me to work among the riddles I am facing. Can you sing in my key, dance in my shoes, and mix it up with this kind of game? If I ask whether you can feel me, can you give me a clear yes? Call me out if you need to. Push me when I need it. Challenge me to help me grow. Make me be my better-than-best. But stand with me by walking my walk. And don't let me catch you looking for a quick way out.

A capable, mission-tailored solution for Norway's new search and rescue helicopter acquisition is now available with Team NORDSAR. It brings together the extensive resources of Eurocopter and its EC225 NORDSAR helicopter with the in-country aircraft maintenance and logistic support capabilities of Heli-One Norway AS.
The Team NORDSAR (Nordic Search And Rescue) agreement, announced today, responds to Norway's needs for a next-generation search and rescue (SAR) helicopter in meeting the country's demanding operational requirements. It unites Eurocopter's tailor-made EC225 Nordsar version – which is especially designed for SAR missions in the Nordic region – with Heli-One's 50-plus year's experience as one of the world's largest rotorcraft support companies.
"We are very excited to join forces in a common bid with Eurocopter, which allows us to combine our skills and expertise in creating a winning team,†said Lars Landsnes, the Managing Director of Heli-One Norway AS. "A win of the Norway SAR contract will lead to significant investments in the future development of Heli-One's facility in Sola, securing highly qualified labour and contributing to keeping the Stavanger region at the cutting edge of helicopter support.â€
The Norwegian All Weather Search and Rescue Helicopter (NAWSARH) competition will result in the country's introduction of a new helicopter fleet capable of flying in challenging mountainous and coastal areas, as well as long-reach missions in the harsh Barent Sea.
"Team NORDSAR enables Eurocopter and Heli-One to join forces on mission capability, quality, safety and security for a solid, and strong NAWSARH joint bid", stated Thomas Hein Eurocopter's Vice President Sales and Customer Relations for Europe. "Heli-One already is servicing many of the over 120 Eurocopter helicopters operating in Norway, so we have a shared, strong history of cooperating in this context.â€
The EC225 NORDSAR will incorporate one of the most advanced mission equipment packages on a SAR helicopter, benefitting from Eurocopter's heritage of integrating cutting-edge avionics, flight control systems and autopilots – supported by the company's unmatched experience in man-machine interface for high levels of flight safety.
In its specific NORDSAR configuration, the EC225 will meet Norway's requirements for off-shore and mountain SAR missions, ensuring total operational flexibility in daily service. The Eurocopter EC225 is already on high readiness alert in the SAR-role at Hammerfest and off shore in the North Sea.
The EC225 NORDSAR and its military-qualified equivalent the EC725 NORDSAR, will in addition combine anti-terror capabilities offering Norway with a true multi-role solution.
The EC225, along with Eurocopter's AS332L1 version of the Super Puma family, already are used extensively in the Nordic region and Iceland for SAR missions, along with crew airlift flights to support the oil and gas sector. All civilian SAR-helicopters in Norway are delivered by Eurocopter.

2015 Pinot Noir, Bentrock Vineyard
From the challenging 2015 vintage we again selected our Bentrock Pinot Noir as one of the components of our flagship wine, "Walk Slow." We did however, set aside 2 older, neutral barrels in order to make this single vineyard bottling. Grown on a steep, rocky slope on the western edge of the Sta. Rita Hills, this Bentrock Vineyard Pinot Noir exhibits the earthy, crushed stone minerality that we look for in great Pinot Noir. A wine that shows distinctive character based on where it's grown is always the goal, especially when it comes to Pinot. This wine was handled in the exact same way as the rest of our Pinot Noirs with a small number of whole clusters during fermentation and gentle daily punch downs. It stayed in barrel for 16 months before being bottled.

That's Mary Bridget Davies, a blues singer from Cleveland — she's pictured with Michael Bay at the Parkview Nite Club at about 0:16 — who is starring as Janis Joplin in "One Night With Janis Joplin" on Broadway. It's her Broadway debut, and if the Couric interview above is any indication, New York City hasn't affected her Cleveland sweetheart vibe in the slightest.
Critics have said that Davies channels Joplin perfectly, not only recreating her vocals but totally assuming the persona. See for yourself in this highlight video from the show.

6 reasons why you should use the ABA DrOmnibus APP
5 March 2018
Natalia Iwan
No Comments
ABA DrOmnibus is a delightful app that motivates and supports learning in an efficient and friendly way, according to teachers who recommend us in the Educational App Store. We have also just received the results of the curriculum certification, and we are happy to announce that our app has made it into the Teacher App Library (TAL) and Parent App Library (PAL)!
- ABA DrOmnibus is an application that aims to support the learning of basic skills. Specifically made for children with developmental delay and autism, the app supports children following Applied Behaviour Analysis programs. ABA comes from a branch of science called behaviour analysis and ABA programs have been successful in bringing about positive behavioural change for people with autism and other needs.
- ABA DrOmnibus is a delightful app that motivates and supports learning in an efficient and friendly way. In order to access the app, you are required to register to set up specific profiles. In doing so, you are given 14 days free before you can subscribe to access the full features of the app. The free trial gives you a good taste of whether or not it is suitable. You can then decide to subscribe to a 1 month, 3 month or annual option.
- The user interface is child-friendly and extremely easy to navigate. The app is nicely sectioned into relevant categories like; cognitive, mathematical, nature and social. By clicking on these relevant areas, you can narrow down to the area you want to work on such as colours, shapes, vegetables, fruits, numbers, emotions and professions. The developers continue to add further areas with each update. There are two options to choose from in each area, 'Learning', where initial basic skills work takes place and 'Improvement' where the child can generalise what they have learned. At the end of each activity, there is the option of playing intrinsically motivating games. The children in my class loved this feature especially.
- There are over 5000 tasks available allowing you to track progress in all areas and create a comparative report. This feature can really help with planning next steps in learning and creating activities outside app use to consolidate understanding further.
- ABA DrOmnibus can adjust the level of prompt depending on the ability of the child which is excellent for personalised support and differentiation. I feel the level of prompting and delay really works in all areas of the game allowing for good progression. The verbal instructions and voice coach are clear adding to an excellent user experience.
- I have really enjoyed trialling ABA DrOmnibus, once you have registered you can start using immediately with little difficulty. At first, I felt the subscription was a little pricey, but when you see what full features are available and the apps potential benefits, it is relatively inexpensive for what you get. I will definitely be recommending Dromnibus-Inclusive Education to the parents and staff at the school. Well done!

Since the end of the year 2016, Bystronic Maschinenbau GmbH has been a premium partner of Team Starcraft – a group of approximately 70 students from the Ilmenau University of Technology who are designing and constructing a racing car for the Formula Student Germany.
There has already been a lively exchange in the course of this new partnership: In February 2017, several members of the Starcraft team visited Bystronic in Gotha for a guided tour of the factory. Subsequently, a number of Bystronic employees were invited by Team Starcraft to experience first-hand how the racing car is constructed in the student workshop in Langewiesen.
In Gotha, the students had the opportunity to try out the Bystronic machines themselves. As a special highlight, there was also a bending competition. The students were so enthusiastic about it that Bystronic will repeat the contest at the next large Formula Student event at the Hockenheimring racing track. Bystronic will be present with a large truck and a press brake among the 6000 students who will be attending this event.
Within the framework of its sponsoring, Bystronic is planning similar activities for other events during the racing series.
In its search for new talents, the partnership with Team Starcraft has already proved of great value for Bystronic, as several students have already applied for internships at Bystronic.

President's Lawyers Provided False Information to Government Officials on Stormy Daniels Payment, New Documents Show
Washington, D.C. (Feb. 15, 2019)—Today, Rep. Elijah E. Cummings, the Chairman of the Committee on Oversight and Reform, sent a letter to White House Counsel Pat Cipollone seeking full compliance with the Committee's previous request for documents regarding the failure of President Donald Trump to report hundreds of thousands of dollars in payments and liabilities to his former attorney, Michael Cohen, to silence women alleging extramarital affairs during the 2016 presidential campaign. To date, the White House has provided no documents in response to this request.
In his letter, Cummings also released new documents obtained from federal officials at the Office of Government Ethics (OGE)—the office charged with overseeing the President's financial disclosure forms—showing that lawyers representing both the White House and the Trump Organization repeatedly provided false information to ethics officials, including "evolving stories" about whether payments were made to Mr. Cohen and the purposes of those payments.
"President Trump's former attorney, Michael Cohen, is now going to prison in part for his role in these hush-money payments," Cummings wrote. "During his guilty plea, Mr. Cohen said that he did this 'in coordination with, and at the direction of' the President 'for the principal purpose of influencing the election.' It now appears that President Trump's other attorneys—at the White House and in private practice—may have provided false information about these payments to federal officials. This raises significant questions about why some of the President's closest advisers made these false claims and the extent to which they too were acting at the direction of, or in coordination with, the President."
The Committee requested that the White House immediately begin producing all of the documents that were first requested on January 8, 2019.
The Committee also sent a letter to Alan Futerfas, Counsel for the Trump Organization, requesting full compliance with the Committee's previous request for documents and correcting the record regarding the role of Congressional oversight.

It's True - Ya Can't Tell The Players Without A Program
There's an old saying - you can't tell the players without a program. This is especially true with gang stalking. Those that appear to be your allies could be your enemy's in disguise. I did shut ebaymotorssucks.com down for a few weeks, but after repeated attacks by YouTube trolls I put it back online. All of this hatred is originating from the YouTube crazeenydriver channel and we know where It points to >> #Attorney #ClassAction
Edie Coon the critic is gone at Coon the critic is dead he's gone when I say he's dead I mean that he's no longer on the internet he's no longer producing videos to protect buyers this is the man right here [Music] he even has not even come on and done a video explaining why he's removed his websites and I think it's kind of childish in a way you know Eddie used to despise the fact that that I used my websites to make money because see he can't do that he he doesn't know how to make a dime on the internet he the only thing he could do is do these websites for these crooked auto dealers that are down in Florida and I think I honestly think now that I mean after pulling you're cited I honestly think now that either eBay gave you another eBay seller account or or the fact that you are probably down in Florida with these other auto dealers down there and you're you're pulling some crooked shady shit because I had asked I asked that Coon at one point about the the cooking the crookedness of the auto business and he would never never never answer my questions he's all he's always steering the always steering the boat in the other direction at Coons boat is like a has got a hole in the bottom of it and he steers it in the proper direction or the direction away from you because he does not like to answer questions about himself he like he and he would always all we send e-mails back that would be basically either disrespectful in a way or he would I mean my god he would even accuse me of being the originator of some of the videos on YouTube I mean this is how ridiculous this guy is and how he thinks but I'm doing this video because you know I and I like that I I'm really it's a shades of shame because I like Ted and I thought his videos were on point when he spoke about me and about DeMarco I thought his videos were factual and he was able to prove that hubcap Joe was a scammer but I don't know who got to him did somebody get to him to eBay pay him to remove his his website did somebody down there put a camera in his face that we don't know about did somebody down there kind of give him some money to go away did his clients and the auto business tell him to you know pull his websites down I mean I don't know what happened only ed can tell us what happened and I know for the longest time that mr. ku was or has has been under some severe medical health issues as though he claimed with me I don't think they were true but he claimed that he had to get his legs amputated and and all that kind of stuff and so I don't know what ed Koons real agenda was I believe his agenda was to try and make money off eBay as a joke he cuz for about a month I bought some of his domains I don't even use them anymore I had purchased many ru messenger calm I purchased team eve a smear campaign calm because he was putting some good articles up on it and then he would refuse to put any more articles up on those domains i had purchased another one as well and then he started writing some good articles about ebay again and so i started linking to those articles and then and then he would move his articles then he would start moving his domains he would start changing his domains and he would make the excuse of that oh it was a security measure he was taking because ebay was attacking his websites well when ebay is a joke my self stopped communicating when i excommunicated mr. egghead tune from my email okay and this time i did it okay when i stopped communicating with ed kuhn ed kuhn went and pulled his ebay motors sucks calm site down now that only tells me that he was either working for hub cap joe or ebay somebody to ebay to try and get me to do something maybe to try and get me to say some things that would get me in trouble through email he was probably saving all my emails and that's fine I don't care a lot of my emails to ad Coon had had to do with security website security and how to do something from WordPress or how to do something on the internet as of as are my all my emails that I mostly send out the people even keep that Weiler I try to help him with stuff that he's doing and he can attest to that I'm a person that actually tries to help people make money on the internet well that Coon didn't like that at Coon didn't he despised the fact that I was trying to make money with Adsense he despised the fact that I was sitting here trying to make money with with other stuff and I would always go to Eddie Kuhn and ask him for help and sometimes you would help me and most of the time he well a lot of the times in the last coming month or so before I axe communicated mr. ed Kuhn he would basically piss me off through emails and so I had to excommunicate him and stop communicating with him because he was just being a plain old fucking asshole that's right just the plain old fucking asshole you were being a coon and I really think ed Coons got a bipolar situation going on but you know that's that's a medical issue and if you really have something if you're taking medication for anxiety or bipolar then that's private and I don't want to get into that let's see here I mean ed Kuhn has pulled down all his channels all his I don't think his YouTube channels or maybe he has pulled down his YouTube channels but ed Kuhn has really really disappointed me to the point now where I do want to talk about him I think he I think we deserve an explanation of where a coon went and why he no longer even fights against fraud at eBay okay I'm thinking maybe his wife at home told him to get off the computer that could be a possibility too he may be solid dicted to the computer and the internet that his wife at home told him he better fucking get off the computer for his ass is grass now if that's the case that's funny you know I don't let no woman control me and you know I've had girlfriends I've got a girlfriend right now and she tries to control me but I put the foot down I don't let nobody control me okay and I could and I get a good I get along good with my girlfriend and you know I've been in the situation before where I've been almost married not to any Philippine woman because mr. ed Koon is married to somebody from the Philippines and you know he went down there and got himself a wife and that's okay to do I know I know another individual that did that and it worked out well for him so that that right there I mean I I praised him and you know you know I wish him well on that but I don't let no woman control me in this situation if I want to sit at home and work on the internet all fuckin night long I can sit here and I can I can still do two laundry I can still fuck I could still put you know put something in the cut in the little fucking snatch and satisfy her and I could still go to work and bring home the money I ain't gotta Beacon fucking controlled by some fucking woman okay and maybe this is the situation right here maybe he was being controlled he's either being controlled by some woman at home or he was controlled by eBay or hubcap Joe I think what it is personally when you spend five six fucking years and you run a website called eBay motor sucks okay I think the heat was getting too bad for eBay and I think that somebody at eBay or hubcap Joe was the one that brokered broker the situation with Eddie Kuhn to pull down that website that's what I think I think I think hubcap Joe called edy her email dead and said let's talk okay and I think edge said okay and this is what I think happened I think fucking hubcap Joel brokered brokered now now he's probably working he's probably working in tandem with fucking uncle Griff Jim Griffith okay Jim Griffith isn't is like a an executive a high-level executive at eBay don't let him don't let his job title and what he does fully fully fool you Jim Griffith is probably the one that went to hubcap Joe and said go to Ed Coon and get him to take down that website at all costs okay and they probably went and they probably took care of Edie Coon they probably gave him a thousand bucks or something to take down that website well personally I don't think Edie Coon would do it for a thousand so it had to be a lot more money than that okay this is what happened of course and I'm only speculating I'm not saying this is what happened because I don't want to get sued okay but I think Edie Coon was offered maybe fifty thousand dollars he's in he's in he's already in trouble with his finances okay he's living in a trailer I think I think eBay gave him $50,000 to take down that website because it was getting a lot of traffic it was secured it was you know nobody could hack it they tried hacking it they couldn't hack it no more they couldn't get into it brute force it so they got tired they got tired of Ed Coons articles getting out there okay cuz that Coon eBay motor sucks Commons was the only website out there that talked about eBay and it scams improved it proved the scams I mean think about the xs/s sprint the this cross site scripting scams the hubcap Joel conspiracy scams that we proven okay think about all that guys think about all that so this guy I guarantee you he was offered money to shut down that web site and go away okay what do you guys think I'd like to hear about it I want to hear your comments what happened to bay motor sucks calm what happened to Ed Koon did he Bay coming and race him off the map did they pay him off what happened so I mean Bay's a joking I'll see you next time Edie Coon I think you deserve to come out and well maybe he won't say nothing because you know he's probably under a hush agreement with eBay or somebody or hubcap Joe not to talk about it but I'm curious to know if any investigator out there wants to dig into this guy's finances and find out if he was uh if he made a large deposit in his account recently okay I mean Bay's a joke piece

JOEY STEFANO, American porn actor, died (b. 1968); an American porn star who appeared in gay adult films. He was popular in the late 1980s and early 1990s. His real name was Nicholas Anthony Iacona, Jr.
After several years of prostitution and drug use in New York City, Stefano moved to Los Angeles and enjoyed a meteoric rise to stardom in gay porn. A notable reason for his popularity, besides his smoldering good looks, was his early mastery of the "hungry bottom" persona. He was HIV+. His image and success caught the attention of Madonna, who used him as a model in her 1992 book, Sex.
During his lifetime, he was the subject of rumors (some of them spread by himself) regarding his relationships with prominent entertainment industry figures who were known to be gay. At a May 1990 dinner and interview with Jess Cagle (Entertainment Weekly) and Rick X (Manhattan Cable TV's "The Closet Case Show"), Stefano discussed an alleged series of "dates" with David Geffen, who at one point implored Stefano to quit using drugs. After the videotaped interview appeared on Rick X's show, OutWeek Magazine "outed" Geffen, who went on to proudly announce his homosexuality at an AIDS fundraiser. Stefano died of an overdose of cocaine, morphine, heroin and ketamine at age 26. His body was taken back to Pennsylvania where he was buried next to his father.

Femme nue debout de face, la main droite posée sur une chaise, sans pied
In the second half of the nineteenth century, artists frequently worked from photographs instead of live models. Common enough for painting, this practice seems to have been less frequent for sculpture, perhaps because of the difficulty of transposing a two-dimensional image into a three-dimensional object.
Carabin was an exception to this rule. Between 1890 and 1914, he produced over six hundred prints, mainly female nudes, which provided a stock of original attitudes and postures for his work as a sculptor. In this set, the originality of the poses and attitudes contrasts sharply with the sort of photographs customarily produced for artists. But these prints astonish us today mainly for their truth and directness. Although subtle hazy effects bring some of them close to a pictorialist aesthetic, most are brightly lit, with the model in unambiguous poses, a far remove from any attempt at idealisation or aestheticism. In that, they are several years ahead of certain experiments in the representation of the body carried out by photographers between the two wars.
The remarkable set that this picture comes from has a curious history. In 1955, Carabin's daughter gave it to Le Corbusier, who had known the sculptor, and the architect kept it until his death. He even made drawings from some of these photographs. Carabin's prints now provide outstanding proof of the relationship between photography and sculpture in the nineteenth century.

Leaders of indigenous churches yesterday praised President Mnangagwa for initiating political dialogue with his opponents, but stressed that the discussions should be pursued on the basis of respect and recognition of his legitimacy and the country's institutions.
Further, the churches said they represented the majority of people in Zimbabwe, as such, their voice should be heard and respected on matters of national interest.
The churches, under the banner of Inter-Denominational Council of Churches, made the remarks when they met President Mnangagwa and his two deputies, Dr Constantino Chiwenga and Cde Kembo Mohadi, at State House yesterday.
The council represents over 110 churches with a membership running into millions.
In his address while introducing other members of the organisation, founder of Family of God Church, Reverend Andrew Wutaunashe said opposition leaders, particularly MDC-Alliance leader Mr Nelson Chamisa, should recognise and respect President Mnangagwa as the elected leader of Zimbabwe.
"We would like to emphasise as the Church that we seek dialogue that begins from the recognition that our State, our nation of Zimbabwe and all its institutions must be preserved and respected.
"To this end, we as the indigenous (church) leaders, we are also saying there cannot be genuine dialogue based on trying to determine whether or not you are the President of Zimbabwe; you are the President of Zimbabwe."
Rev Wutaunashe said President Mnangagwa won the elections and was confirmed by the Constitutional Court (Concourt) and it would be foolhardy to start any dialogue surrounding his legitimacy.
"We also call upon opposition parties, particularly the MDC, not on political partisan basis, but on concern as citizens of Zimbabwe and on concern as church leaders who represent millions of people, to recognise the President of Zimbabwe openly, to accept the findings of the Constitutional Court as a respect for our Constitution and institutions and on top of that, if dialogue is wanted, let it proceed from a place that respects our institutions.
"That being provided, Your Excellency, we encourage that you continue to pursue with all the energy you can, dialogue in our nation so that our nation can come to a place of soundness and participation by everybody."
Bishop Nehemiah Mutendi of the Zion Christian Church (ZCC), who is the patron of the
Inter-Denominational Council of Churches, said indigenous churches were the pioneers of the country's revolution.
"A country without laws is a jungle. If we say courts and the country's institutions are useless or say let us suspend everything for seven years, you wonder if those people are indigenous people. We are here to pray for our country and the good health of all Zimbabweans," said Bishop Mutendi.
In his intervention, President Mnangagwa said Zimbabweans could only build their country as a united force.
On the respect of the country's institutions and laws, the President said: "When we have our elections, you don't declare yourself the winner. No! It is the duty of other institutions.
"If you fail to listen to those institutions, you are going against God. The role of the church is to ensure that people humble themselves and respect the country's laws and institutions. In our Constitution, we gave space to the church; that is freedom of worship for all religions. We guarantee the freedom of worship.
"We expect (that) if our nation becomes a Christian nation, our people will live a Christian life. If our people live a Christian life, then our people will live in harmony because Christianity exudes peace, love, humility and harmony."
President Mnangagwa said even though Zanu-PF got two thirds majority in Parliament, it initiated a political party dialogue process in the spirit of inclusivity.
He said several parties joined the dialogue and it was encouraging that out of the 23 political parties that participated in last year's general elections, 20 were taking part in the dialogue.
The President said the difference between the churches operating in Zimbabwe was that there were indigenous churches founded locally while others were head-quartered in other countries.
As such, President Mnangagwa said as an indigenous Government, it was important for his administration to dialogue with leaders of indigenous churches who also make decisions without consulting their external head offices.

Another day, another celebrity choosing to say goodbye to Snapchat.
Over the weekend, Chrissy Teigen — model, cookbook author, wife to John Legend and noted viral Twitter commentator — took to Twitter to talk about another form of social media. Specifically, she wanted to explain why she wasn't using Snapchat anymore. "The update, the constant complaints of people not being able to find me, plus the Rihanna poll… no bueno [sic]," she wrote.
Snapchat famously implemented an app redesign that led to criticism amongst many of its regular users, as it changed up the story-watching features and made it tricky to navigate. And just a few weeks ago, users were shaking their heads at a misjudged ad that featured exes Rihanna and Chris Brown and referenced domestic violence, leading to Rihanna herself chastising the company via Instagram.
Teigen follows celebrities like Kylie Jenner who have been opting out of the Snapchat experience recently and complaining about the changes. On Teigen's tweet, popular YouTube personality Tyler Oakley offered his alternative: "Insta stories, all the way," he wrote. Facebook may be suffering, but Instagram — which it owns — remains the preferred social media platform of the moment.
