By Lady Francesca Speranza Wilde
From Ancient Legends, Mystic Charms, and Superstitions of Ireland [1887]
THE Banshee means, especially, the woman of the fairy race, from van, “the Woman–the Beautiful;” the same word from which comes Venus. Shiloh-Van was one of the names of Buddha–“the son of the woman;” and some writers aver that in the Irish–Sullivan (Sulli-van), may be found this ancient name of Buddha.
As the Leanan-Sidhe was the acknowledged spirit of life, giving inspiration to the poet and the musician, so the Ban-Sidhe was the spirit of death, the most weird and awful of all the fairy powers.
But only certain families of historic lineage, or persons gifted with music and song, are attended by this spirit; for music and poetry are fairy gifts, and the possessors of them show kinship to the spirit race–therefore they are watched over by the spirit of life, which is prophecy and inspiration; and by the spirit of doom, which is the revealer of the secrets of death.
Sometimes the Banshee assumes the form of some sweet singing virgin of the family who died young, and has been given the mission by the invisible powers to become the harbinger of coming doom to her mortal kindred. Or she may be seen at night as a shrouded woman, crouched beneath the trees, lamenting with veiled face; or flying past in the moonlight, crying bitterly: and the cry of thus spirit is mournful beyond all other sounds on earth, and betokens certain death to some member of the family whenever it. is heard in the silence of the night.
The Banshee even follows the old race across the ocean and to distant lands; for space and the offer no hindrance to the mystic power which is selected and appointed to bear the prophecy of death to a family. Of this a well authenticated instance happened a few years ago, and many now living can attest the truth of the narrative.
A branch of the ancient race of the O’Gradys had settled in Canada, far removed, apparently, from all the associations, traditions, and mysterious influences of the old land of their fore-fathers.
But one night a strange and mournful lamentation was heard outside the house. No word was uttered, only a bitter cry, as of one in deepest agony and sorrow, floated through the air.
Inquiry was made, but no one had been seen near the house at the time, though several persons distinctly heard the weird, unearthly cry, and a terror fell upon the household, as if some supernatural influence had overshadowed them.
Next day it so happened that the gentleman and his eldest son went out boating. As they did not return, however, at the usual time for dinner, some alarm was excited, and messengers were sent down to the shore to look for them. But no tidings came until, precisely at the exact hour of the night when the spirit-cry had been heard the previous evening, a crowd of men were seen approaching the house, bearing with them the dead bodies of the father and the son, who had both been drowned by the accidental upsetting of the boat, within sight of land, but not near enough for any help to reach them in time.
Thus the Ban-Sidhe had fulfilled her mission of doom, after which she disappeared, ‘and the cry of the spirit of death was heard no more.
At times the spirit-voice is heard in low and soft lamenting, as if close to the window.
Not long ago an ancient lady of noble lineage was lying near the death-hour in her stately castle. One evening, after twilight., she suddenly unclosed her eyes and pointed to the window, with a happy smile on her face. All present looked in the direction, but nothing was visible. They heard, however, the sweetest music, low, soft, and spiritual, floating round the house, and at times apparently close to the window of the sick room.
Many of the attendants thought it was a trick, and went out to search the grounds; but nothing human was seen. Still the wild plaintive singing went on, wandering through the trees like the night wind–a low, beautiful music that never ceased all through the night.
Next morning the noble lady lay dead; then the music ceased, and the lamentation from that hour was heard no more.
There was a gentleman also in the same country who had a beautiful daughter, strong and healthy, and a splendid horsewoman. She always followed the hounds, and her appearance at the hunt attracted unbounded admiration, as no one rode so well or looked so beautiful.
One evening there was a ball after the hunt, and the young girl moved through the dance with the grace of a fairy queen.
But that same night a voice came close to the father’s window, as if the face were laid close to the glass, and he heard a mournful lamentation and a cry; and the words rang out on the air–“In three weeks death; in three weeks the grave–dead–dead–dead!”
Three times the voice came, and three times he heard the words; but though it. was bright moonlight, and he looked from the window over all the park, no form was to be seen.
Next day, his daughter showed symptoms of fever, and exactly in three weeks, as the Ban-Sidhe had prophesied, the beautiful girl lay dead.
The night before her death soft music was heard outside the house, though no word was spoken by the spirit-voice, and the family said the form of a woman crouched beneath a tree, with a mantle covering her head, was~ distinctly visible. But on approaching, the phantom disappeared, though the soft, low music of the lamentation continued till dawn.
Then the angel of death entered the house with soundless feet, and he breathed upon the beautiful face of the young girl, and she rested in the sleep of the dead, beneath the dark shadows of his wings.
Thus the prophecy of the Banshee came true, according to the time foretold by the spirit-voice.

renegadetribune--2020-07-24--60% of the Restaurants on Yelp That Shut Down Temporarily Are Now Permanently Closed

Imagine working for years to turn your restaurant into a successful business , which is incredibly hard to do , and then to have the rug pulled out from underneath you in an instant due to government mandates and media hysteria .
This has not only happened in America , but also across the world .
While big chain restaurants are better able to absorb the hit , local restaurants have been forced to permanently close .
The Mashable article goes on to give us some “ good news ” about how patrons are now more concerned than ever with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ It wasn ’ t all bad news for businesses trying to make it during the pandemic , though .
Black-owned business searches soared compared to this time period last year .
Yelp searches from May 25 to July 10 showed more than 2,500,000 searches for Black-owned businesses , a 7,043 percent increase compared to overall searches in 2019 .
Black-owned restaurants are the most popular search , up 2,508 percent from last year .
So if you are a White business owner who has been able to weather the storm , you will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ businesses moving forward into the era of “ woke ” capitalism .
It ’ s what George Floyd would have wanted , I am sure .
People ’ s businesses , and their very lives , have been ruined because of a fake pandemic , made “ real ” through fraudulent testing and death certificates , while big banks and businesses rake in massive profits and take trillions in taxpayer handouts .

Imagine working for years to turn your restaurant into a successful business, which is incredibly hard to do, and then to have the rug pulled out from underneath you in an instant due to government mandates and media hysteria. This has not only happened in America, but also across the world. While big chain restaurants are better able to absorb the hit, local restaurants have been forced to permanently close.
Mashable summarizes the report:
Yelp’s Economic Average report out Wednesday shows exactly how tough: 60 percent of the 26,160 temporarily closed restaurants on the business review site as of July are now permanently shut. Temporary closures are dropping, and permanent shutdowns are increasing.
The Mashable article goes on to give us some “good news” about how patrons are now more concerned than ever with giving their business to black-owned establishments.
It wasn’t all bad news for businesses trying to make it during the pandemic, though. Black-owned business searches soared compared to this time period last year. Yelp searches from May 25 to July 10 showed more than 2,500,000 searches for Black-owned businesses, a 7,043 percent increase compared to overall searches in 2019. Black-owned restaurants are the most popular search, up 2,508 percent from last year.
So if you are a White business owner who has been able to weather the storm, you will have a hard time competing with black businesses moving forward into the era of “woke” capitalism. It’s what George Floyd would have wanted, I am sure.
People’s businesses, and their very lives, have been ruined because of a fake pandemic, made “real” through fraudulent testing and death certificates, while big banks and businesses rake in massive profits and take trillions in taxpayer handouts.

renegadetribune--2020-07-27--Magnesium-Rich Foods and Why You Need Them

You may have a low level of magnesium in your diet that is preventing you from reaping important health benefits Magnesium ( Mg ) is considered a healthy mineral essential to your body , but it is estimated that 75 % of Americans and people around the world are well below the recommended daily intake of Mg. [ i ] Luckily , there is an easy fix , since magnesium is bountiful in many foods .
Bright leafy greens/veggies ( magnesium gives them that rich green color ) top the magnesium-dense list including spinach , chard , broccoli and kale @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lima beans , black beans , peas and edamame ( soybean ) .
[ ii ] When it comes to snacks , seeds [ iii ] ( pumpkin and flax ) , nuts [ iv ] ( almonds , cashews , peanut butter ) and dark chocolate [ v ] pack a high magnesium punch .
Healthy omega-3 fats and magnesium are also abundant in salmon , tuna and avocado .
[ vi ] Whole grains such as quinoa , brown rice , oatmeal , buckwheat and even wild rice ( technically a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ [ vii ] For a list of the top 25 magnesium-rich foods , see Table 1 .
Magnesium in your diet helps to prevent diseases and lessen the harshness of some diseases if you get them .
Magnesium has neuroprotective , cardio-protective , anti-hypertensive , anti-inflammatory , anti-obesity and hypoglycemic properties .
A magnesium deficiency or low level of magnesium in your food creates an out of balance condition in your body linked to many diseases from diabetes , heart disease and metabolic syndrome to depression and neurological disorders .
Magnesium has many @ @ @ @ @ @ @ blood sugar moderating and insulin regulating , lowering risk for Type 2 diabetes ( T2D ) and improving outcomes for Type 1 diabetes ( T1D ) .
Magnesium intake significantly improved glucose parameters in people with diabetes and also improved insulin-sensitivity parameters in those at high risk of diabetes in a review of 18 randomized clinical trials , including a total of 670 diabetic and 453 at risk for diabetes patients .
[ viii ] In another meta-analysis of 637,922 individuals , the risk of T2D was reduced by 17 % across all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and 16 % in men when magnesium was increased in their diet .
[ ix ] A magnesium deficiency is seen as a contributing factor in insulin resistance for T2D patients .
[ x ] In a 2017 study of 71 children with T1D , magnesium supplementation improved glycemic control and lipid profiles while decreasing complications such as hypomagnesaemia ( clinical magnesium deficiency ) .
[ xi ] For the 52,684 without known diabetes , dietary magnesium was found to lower fasting glucose and insulin , two risk factors for diabetes .
[ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ medications , decreases in food crop magnesium contents , and higher availability of refined and processed foods , the vast majority of people in modern societies are at risk for magnesium deficiency ( often undiagnosed ) and magnesium dietary supplementation is an easy and low cost way to lower the risks for a variety of heart diseases .
[ xiii ] In a meta-analysis of 532,979 participants from 19 studies , the greatest risk reduction for cardiovascular disease ( CVD ) occurred when magnesium intake increased from 150 to 400 milligrams ( mg @ @ @ @ @ @ @ In a meta-analysis of 48 genetic studies with a total of 60,801 coronary artery disease ( CAD ) cases and 123,504 non-cases , researchers found that serum magnesium levels are inversely associated with risk of heart disease .
[ xv ] Magnesium supplementation is also seen as a successful preventative mechanism ( by improving lipid profiles , fasting glucose and blood pressure ) [ xvi ] to heart disease complications ( a leading cause of death from T2 diabetes ) .
[ xvii ] , [ xviii ] Generally , the triad of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ glucose tolerance , as in T2D ( insulin resistance ) , is referred to as metabolic syndrome .
[ xix ] In a meta-analysis of six studies , including a total of 24,473 individuals and 6,311 cases of metabolic syndrome , a higher dietary magnesium level lowered the risk of metabolic syndrome by 17 % .
[ xx ] Magnesium supplementation has also been shown to lower blood pressure measures significantly in those with high blood pressure taking anti-hypertensive medication ( 135 subjects ) ; systolic blood pressure decreased by 18.7 points and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of 10.9 points .
In a 2018 study of obesity and diabetes of over 1,500 Mexican subjects , increased dietary magnesium reduced body mass index , waist circumference and serum glucose levels , and is likely to prevent co-morbidities .
[ xxi ] High blood pressure is associated with vascular failure and can increase arterial stiffness .
[ xxii ] In a 2016 randomized double-blind placebo-controlled study , a daily dose ( 350 mg ) of magnesium decreased arterial stiffness in 52 obese and overweight subjects .
[ xxiii ] Obesity , inflammation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ thought to be the common pathways to the overlap in high blood pressure and diabetes .
[ xxiv ] Increasing magnesium intake has been shown to reduce C-reactive protein ( CRP ) levels , which indicate the amount of inflammation in the body , [ xxv ] among individuals with low-grade chronic systemic inflammation in a meta-analysis of 17 studies .
Overall , a lower level of magnesium is seen in those having metabolic syndrome .
[ xxvi ] Magnesium is often called the “ mind mineral , ” as it is abundant @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to a balanced brain , influencing serotonin , dopamine and neuro-transmissions .
[ xxvii ] Recent research has linked magnesium deficiency and low magnesium levels with many neurological disorders , such as cerebral vasospasm , Alzheimer ’ s disease , Parkinson ’ s disease , depression , [ xxviii ] stroke and migraine .
[ xxix ] Daily consumption of 500 mg magnesium oxide tablets for over eight weeks by 30 depressed patients suffering from magnesium deficiency in 2017 led to significant improvements in depression status compared to the placebo group .
[ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has been statistically associated with Alzheimer ’ s disease .
[ xxxi ] , [ xxxii ] Higher magnesium intake showed neuroprotection and lower risk for Parkinson ’ s disease in a study of 49 Japanese patients .
[ xxxiii ] There is also strong evidence that magnesium deficiency is much more prevalent in migraine sufferers than in healthy controls [ xxxiv ] and oral magnesium could help to alleviate migraine symptoms .
[ xxxv ] Don ’ t miss out on the health benefits of magnesium-rich foods ( i.e.
, dark chocolate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , fatty fish and whole grains ) in your diet .
Recent research has confirmed links between magnesium and diseases such as diabetes , heart disease , metabolic syndrome and neuro-related diseases , both as a preventative and a moderator for disease severity .

You may have a low level of magnesium in your diet that is preventing you from reaping important health benefits
Magnesium (Mg) is considered a healthy mineral essential to your body, but it is estimated that 75% of Americans and people around the world are well below the recommended daily intake of Mg.[i] Luckily, there is an easy fix, since magnesium is bountiful in many foods.
Bright leafy greens/veggies (magnesium gives them that rich green color) top the magnesium-dense list including spinach, chard, broccoli and kale, followed closely by legumes such as lima beans, black beans, peas and edamame (soybean).[ii] When it comes to snacks, seeds[iii] (pumpkin and flax), nuts[iv] (almonds, cashews, peanut butter) and dark chocolate[v] pack a high magnesium punch.
Healthy omega-3 fats and magnesium are also abundant in salmon, tuna and avocado.[vi] Whole grains such as quinoa, brown rice, oatmeal, buckwheat and even wild rice (technically a grass) are filled with magnesium.[vii] For a list of the top 25 magnesium-rich foods, see Table 1.

Benefits of Eating Magnesium-Rich Foods
Magnesium in your diet helps to prevent diseases and lessen the harshness of some diseases if you get them. Magnesium has neuroprotective, cardio-protective, anti-hypertensive, anti-inflammatory, anti-obesity and hypoglycemic properties.
A magnesium deficiency or low level of magnesium in your food creates an out of balance condition in your body linked to many diseases from diabetes, heart disease and metabolic syndrome to depression and neurological disorders.
Diabetes
Magnesium has many protective properties, such as glucose or blood sugar moderating and insulin regulating, lowering risk for Type 2 diabetes (T2D) and improving outcomes for Type 1 diabetes (T1D).
Magnesium intake significantly improved glucose parameters in people with diabetes and also improved insulin-sensitivity parameters in those at high risk of diabetes in a review of 18 randomized clinical trials, including a total of 670 diabetic and 453 at risk for diabetes patients.[viii]
In another meta-analysis of 637,922 individuals, the risk of T2D was reduced by 17% across all the studies; 19% in women and 16% in men when magnesium was increased in their diet.[ix]
A magnesium deficiency is seen as a contributing factor in insulin resistance for T2D patients.[x] In a 2017 study of 71 children with T1D, magnesium supplementation improved glycemic control and lipid profiles while decreasing complications such as hypomagnesaemia (clinical magnesium deficiency).[xi] For the 52,684 without known diabetes, dietary magnesium was found to lower fasting glucose and insulin, two risk factors for diabetes.[xii]
Heart Disease
Because of chronic diseases, medications, decreases in food crop magnesium contents, and higher availability of refined and processed foods, the vast majority of people in modern societies are at risk for magnesium deficiency (often undiagnosed) and magnesium dietary supplementation is an easy and low cost way to lower the risks for a variety of heart diseases.[xiii]
In a meta-analysis of 532,979 participants from 19 studies, the greatest risk reduction for cardiovascular disease (CVD) occurred when magnesium intake increased from 150 to 400 milligrams (mg) per day.[xiv] In a meta-analysis of 48 genetic studies with a total of 60,801 coronary artery disease (CAD) cases and 123,504 non-cases, researchers found that serum magnesium levels are inversely associated with risk of heart disease.[xv]
Magnesium supplementation is also seen as a successful preventative mechanism (by improving lipid profiles, fasting glucose and blood pressure)[xvi] to heart disease complications (a leading cause of death from T2 diabetes).[xvii],[xviii]
Metabolic Syndrome
Generally, the triad of obesity, high blood pressure and impaired glucose tolerance, as in T2D (insulin resistance), is referred to as metabolic syndrome.[xix] In a meta-analysis of six studies, including a total of 24,473 individuals and 6,311 cases of metabolic syndrome, a higher dietary magnesium level lowered the risk of metabolic syndrome by 17%.[xx]
Magnesium supplementation has also been shown to lower blood pressure measures significantly in those with high blood pressure taking anti-hypertensive medication (135 subjects); systolic blood pressure decreased by 18.7 points and diastolic blood pressure dropped by an average of 10.9 points.
In a 2018 study of obesity and diabetes of over 1,500 Mexican subjects, increased dietary magnesium reduced body mass index, waist circumference and serum glucose levels, and is likely to prevent co-morbidities.[xxi] High blood pressure is associated with vascular failure and can increase arterial stiffness.[xxii] In a 2016 randomized double-blind placebo-controlled study, a daily dose (350 mg) of magnesium decreased arterial stiffness in 52 obese and overweight subjects.[xxiii]
Obesity, inflammation, oxidative stress and insulin resistance are thought to be the common pathways to the overlap in high blood pressure and diabetes.[xxiv] Increasing magnesium intake has been shown to reduce C-reactive protein (CRP) levels, which indicate the amount of inflammation in the body,[xxv] among individuals with low-grade chronic systemic inflammation in a meta-analysis of 17 studies. Overall, a lower level of magnesium is seen in those having metabolic syndrome.[xxvi]
Neurological Disorders
Magnesium is often called the “mind mineral,” as it is abundant in the central nervous system and contributes to a balanced brain, influencing serotonin, dopamine and neuro-transmissions.[xxvii] Recent research has linked magnesium deficiency and low magnesium levels with many neurological disorders, such as cerebral vasospasm, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, depression,[xxviii] stroke and migraine.[xxix] Daily consumption of 500 mg magnesium oxide tablets for over eight weeks by 30 depressed patients suffering from magnesium deficiency in 2017 led to significant improvements in depression status compared to the placebo group.[xxx]
A lower level of magnesium has been statistically associated with Alzheimer’s disease.[xxxi],[xxxii] Higher magnesium intake showed neuroprotection and lower risk for Parkinson’s disease in a study of 49 Japanese patients.[xxxiii] There is also strong evidence that magnesium deficiency is much more prevalent in migraine sufferers than in healthy controls[xxxiv] and oral magnesium could help to alleviate migraine symptoms.[xxxv]
Magnesium-Rich Diet Tied to Improved Health
Don’t miss out on the health benefits of magnesium-rich foods (i.e., dark chocolate, nuts/seeds, leafy greens, legumes, fatty fish and whole grains) in your diet. Recent research has confirmed links between magnesium and diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, metabolic syndrome and neuro-related diseases, both as a preventative and a moderator for disease severity.

renegadetribune--2020-07-27--Here’s What You Need To Know About Sending Your Child Back To School This Year

By Linnea Johnson via The Organic Prepper blog As the summer goes on , schools are refining and finalizing how they will conduct school in the fall .
Already , Atlanta , Los Angeles , and San Diego have declared schools will not re-open physical classrooms and others will follow .
Many districts have suggested revised schedules , including part of the students attending one day or week and others another day or week , staggered drop-off and pickup times , mask-wearing at all times , social distancing , food brought from home , and no shared use of common @ @ @ @ @ @ @ object to sending teachers , particularly those in the higher risk age groups , back into the classroom and parents have understandable concerns for their children as well .
One way or another , school will not look like it used to this school year , and discipline issues will now include compliance with COVID-19 restrictions .
Online learning will deliver the bulk of instruction , with little personal interaction between students , peers , and teachers .
While I am a believer in online learning for older and more motivated students , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ learning mechanism for younger children .
Millions of parents , after homeschooling their children for months are seriously considering homeschooling because of the dystopian guidelines issues by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and being followed by most school districts .
In May , the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ( CDC ) issued school reopening guidelines that called for : • All-day mask wearing for most students and teachers • No gym or cafeteria use School districts across the country quickly adopted the CDC ’ s guidelines , devising @ @ @ @ @ @ @ got wind of what the upcoming school-year would look like , including the real possibility that at any time schools could be shut down again due to virus spikes , they started exploring other options .
( Source ) Like it or not , you will need to make a decision ; send your child to a dystopian school situation or seek an alternative .
We ’ ve already discussed homeschooling here , here , and here .
Questions to Ask Yourself Let ’ s talk more about the decision making process .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ • Am I putting my child and family at undue risk by sending my child to school in the fall ?
Check out this article .
• Will my child fall behind because of a chaotic schedule at the school ( some days or weeks online , others in the classroom ) • How will school districts measure the effectiveness of this new mode of learning ?
How will teachers be evaluated ?
How will my child be evaluated ?
How will I know my child will be ready for the next grade @ @ @ @ @ @ @ • What additional vaccination requirements will be imposed on my child and our family if my child attends a school ?
• What will discipline in the schools look like in the fall ?
Will my child or family be reported to the authorities if s/he takes their mask off ?
Will my family be fined ?
• How will wearing a mask all day long affect my child ’ s health ?
• How will I juggle my work schedule to support the schedule the school assigns my child to ?
If @ @ @ @ @ @ @ schedule , who will care for and supervise my child ?
• If I ’ m already staying home to supervise my child ’ s remote learning , is it that much greater a commitment to homeschool entirely ?
I ’ m sure you can think of even more questions that are valid to ask .
Without considering all the options , it ’ s difficult to make an informed decision .
Let ’ s take an objective look at the implications of each scenario .
Your choices are basically , partial re-opening @ @ @ @ @ @ @ online learning .
Criteria we could use to evaluate those choices include : • Stability in schedule ( minimum variation for child and parent in scheduling work around the school schedule ) .
Adjustments in schedules will likely be made as the school year progresses , necessitating adjustments in work and family schedules .
With partial re-opening or online options , you will need to adjust your work schedule or find someone else to care for and supervise the learning of your children .
This could be chaotic for the child and your @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can plan a schedule that works for your child and your family and you can decide what topics to cover .
• Ability to Choose Curriculum and Subjects : With partial re-opening or full online instruction , you will not be able to choose or influence the subjects your child will study .
In addition , you will not be able to adjust the speed at which new topics are introduced .
With homeschooling , as long as you choose the basics , reading , writing , and math , you can augment @ @ @ @ @ @ @ art , music , and practical skills like cooking , gardening , or carpentry .
• Socialization and Human Contact Considerations : With partial reopening , your child will have some interface with other adults and children , however , the environment will be quite sterile and stilted because of COVID-19 restrictions .
With full online instructions , your child will have little personal contact with other students or adults .
If you homeschool , you can choose who your child interacts with and how .
Play dates can be arranged in open @ @ @ @ @ @ @ responsibilities , especially in smaller groups .
• Sports and Extracurricular Activities : Some sports and activities may resume , but most schools are canceling fall sports and other activities will have reduced participation to allow for social distancing .
With homeschooling , you can involve your child in your own exercise routine or take up walking the dog , bicycling , hiking , running , tennis , badminton , or volleyball .
Find fun exercise videos on YouTube or learn dance moves to music you both enjoy .
There are a ton @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with your child that are fun .
Be creative .
• Impact on the Parent doing the bulk of instruction/supervision of children : With partial reopening of the schools , you will get time away from your children , but with online learning , you will still need to care for and supervise your child to ensure learning is happening .
In addition , the effectiveness of online learning is influenced by the skill with which the instruction is designed .
Younger children do not benefit from online instruction as much as older @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
If you choose to homeschool , you will be able to control what and how quickly your child moves through curriculum .
If you choose to homeschool , you ’ ll need support to get through this new experience .
I ’ ve just started a new homeschool community blog that you may find useful : StartHomeschoolNow.com • Ability to Control Safety Factors : Sending your children to school in a partial school re-opening could put your child and your family at risk .
In addition with tensions running high , some @ @ @ @ @ @ @ than desirable .
Health and safety in your home will be within your control when you homeschool .
• Independence : While sending your child to school part-time may allow you some independence , in the end , you are tied to the school ’ s schedules and decisions .
With homeschooling , your schedule is defined by you and your child and not by an outside entity .
Vacations can be taken at non-peak times , thereby saving money and avoiding crowds .
You have taken a step to create a life @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the homeschool lifestyle !
The more you can teach your child the joy of independence in learning , the more peaceful your household will be for everyone .
Kids naturally love to learn and be creative and will gravitate to things that interest them .
Sometimes , however , the school system beats that curiosity out of them .
A teacher says something critical or a child can ’ t spell no matter how hard s/he works at it and is branded “ stupid ” .
Other students follow the teacher ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Or , the teacher wants to spend all her time with the “ gifted ” students in the classroom and can ’ t wait to get rid of those requiring a little extra effort to special education pullouts .
What about those active kids that teachers suggest be evaluated and end up on Ritalin ?
Those children are usually pretty smart , like to be challenged , and prefer hands-on learning .
Perhaps your child can ’ t shake his or her reputation at a school because teachers pass-on information about each of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ teachers .
With those biases from the previous year ’ s teacher , there ’ s no way a student can break free from a prescribed role .
I ’ ve seen it all , either with my own children , or when I volunteered in classrooms , or when I substitute taught , or when I taught in the public schools .
Schools are not a particularly nurturing environment for many children , or teachers for that matter .
Ask a teacher what goes on in the teacher ’ s lounge and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can be a dog-eat-dog profession .
You ’ re going to have to make a decision this fall .
If you don ’ t actively evaluate your options and decide , you ’ ve let somebody else make the decision for you .
Look , decision-making is hard .
Even when we think we ’ ve made a good decision , sometimes we second guess ourselves and wonder what it would have been like if we hadn ’ t made that choice .
All we can do is weigh the options and make @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have at the moment .
What information do we have now ?
• Schools will be different in the Fall • We don ’ t know what measures schools will implement in response to COVID , but we know they will incorporate masks , social distancing , and some measure of remote learning • We know tensions are high in the general population and it will be the same story in the schools , for both teachers and students • You know your child—how will s/he do in that environment ?
• How @ @ @ @ @ @ @ If you plan to homeschool now , you ’ re ahead of the game .
If you don ’ t plan for homeschooling , your life and that of your child will be in the hands of a school district that is making a guess at how to do school in these circumstances .
If homeschooling doesn ’ t work out , you can always re-enroll your child in a public school .
I would suggest giving it at least a semester , better yet a year to work the kinks out .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ kitchen table , in the car , waiting at a doctor ’ s office , in a store , on a road trip , or in your backyard .
Life is a lesson waiting to be learned , and you ’ re in a good position to help guide your child through those lessons .

In May, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued school reopening guidelines that called for:
Strict social distancing tactics
All-day mask wearing for most students and teachers
Staggered attendance
Daily health checks
No gym or cafeteria use
Restricted playground access and limited toy-sharing, and
Tight controls on visitors to school buildings, including parents.
School districts across the country quickly adopted the CDC’s guidelines, devising their reopening plans accordingly. Once parents got wind of what the upcoming school-year would look like, including the real possibility that at any time schools could be shut down again due to virus spikes, they started exploring other options.

Like it or not, you will need to make a decision; send your child to a dystopian school situation or seek an alternative. We’ve already discussed homeschooling here, here, and here.
Questions to Ask Yourself
Let’s talk more about the decision making process. Questions you might ask yourself are:
Am I putting my child and family at undue risk by sending my child to school in the fall? Check out this article.
Will my child fall behind because of a chaotic schedule at the school (some days or weeks online, others in the classroom)
How will school districts measure the effectiveness of this new mode of learning? How will teachers be evaluated? How will my child be evaluated? How will I know my child will be ready for the next grade and has the skills s/he needs?
What additional vaccination requirements will be imposed on my child and our family if my child attends a school?
What will discipline in the schools look like in the fall? Will my child or family be reported to the authorities if s/he takes their mask off? Will my family be fined?
How will wearing a mask all day long affect my child’s health?
How will I juggle my work schedule to support the schedule the school assigns my child to? If I can’t change my work schedule, who will care for and supervise my child?
If I’m already staying home to supervise my child’s remote learning, is it that much greater a commitment to homeschool entirely?
Factors to Consider
I’m sure you can think of even more questions that are valid to ask. Without considering all the options, it’s difficult to make an informed decision. Let’s take an objective look at the implications of each scenario.
Your choices are basically, partial re-opening of school, school and full school-sanctioned online learning. Criteria we could use to evaluate those choices include:
Stability in schedule(minimum variation for child and parent in scheduling work around the school schedule). Adjustments in schedules will likely be made as the school year progresses, necessitating adjustments in work and family schedules. With partial re-opening or online options, you will need to adjust your work schedule or find someone else to care for and supervise the learning of your children. This could be chaotic for the child and your family. If you homeschool, you can plan a schedule that works for your child and your family and you can decide what topics to cover. Ability to Choose Curriculum and Subjects: With partial re-opening or full online instruction, you will not be able to choose or influence the subjects your child will study. In addition, you will not be able to adjust the speed at which new topics are introduced. With homeschooling, as long as you choose the basics, reading, writing, and math, you can augment their study with science, history, art, music, and practical skills like cooking , gardening, or carpentry. Socialization and Human Contact Considerations: With partial reopening, your child will have some interface with other adults and children, however, the environment will be quite sterile and stilted because of COVID-19 restrictions. With full online instructions, your child will have little personal contact with other students or adults. If you homeschool, you can choose who your child interacts with and how. Play dates can be arranged in open air settings and families can share homeschool responsibilities, especially in smaller groups. Sports and Extracurricular Activities: Some sports and activities may resume, but most schools are canceling fall sports and other activities will have reduced participation to allow for social distancing. With homeschooling, you can involve your child in your own exercise routine or take up walking the dog, bicycling, hiking, running, tennis, badminton, or volleyball. Find fun exercise videos on YouTube or learn dance moves to music you both enjoy. There are a ton of things you can do for exercise with your child that are fun. Be creative. Impact on the Parent doing the bulk of instruction/supervision of children: With partial reopening of the schools, you will get time away from your children, but with online learning, you will still need to care for and supervise your child to ensure learning is happening. In addition, the effectiveness of online learning is influenced by the skill with which the instruction is designed. Younger children do not benefit from online instruction as much as older, more mature students who are self-motivated. If you choose to homeschool, you will be able to control what and how quickly your child moves through curriculum. If you choose to homeschool, you’ll need support to get through this new experience. I’ve just started a new homeschool community blog that you may find useful: StartHomeschoolNow.com Ability to Control Safety Factors: Sending your children to school in a partial school re-opening could put your child and your family at risk. In addition with tensions running high, some people’s behavior may be less than desirable. Health and safety in your home will be within your control when you homeschool. Independence: While sending your child to school part-time may allow you some independence, in the end, you are tied to the school’s schedules and decisions. With homeschooling, your schedule is defined by you and your child and not by an outside entity. Vacations can be taken at non-peak times, thereby saving money and avoiding crowds. You have taken a step to create a life you control and enjoy. Welcome to the homeschool lifestyle!
Thoughts About Learning and School
The more you can teach your child the joy of independence in learning, the more peaceful your household will be for everyone. Kids naturally love to learn and be creative and will gravitate to things that interest them. Sometimes, however, the school system beats that curiosity out of them.
A teacher says something critical or a child can’t spell no matter how hard s/he works at it and is branded “stupid”. Other students follow the teacher’s lead and start bullying the child. Or, the teacher wants to spend all her time with the “gifted” students in the classroom and can’t wait to get rid of those requiring a little extra effort to special education pullouts. What about those active kids that teachers suggest be evaluated and end up on Ritalin? Those children are usually pretty smart, like to be challenged, and prefer hands-on learning. Perhaps your child can’t shake his or her reputation at a school because teachers pass-on information about each of the students to next year’s teachers. With those biases from the previous year’s teacher, there’s no way a student can break free from a prescribed role. I’ve seen it all, either with my own children, or when I volunteered in classrooms, or when I substitute taught, or when I taught in the public schools. Schools are not a particularly nurturing environment for many children, or teachers for that matter. Ask a teacher what goes on in the teacher’s lounge and how they feel about it. Teaching can be a dog-eat-dog profession.
You’re going to have to make a decision this fall. If you don’t actively evaluate your options and decide, you’ve let somebody else make the decision for you.
Decision-Making is Hard
Look, decision-making is hard. Even when we think we’ve made a good decision, sometimes we second guess ourselves and wonder what it would have been like if we hadn’t made that choice. All we can do is weigh the options and make the best decision with the information we have at the moment. What information do we have now?
Schools will be different in the Fall
We don’t know what measures schools will implement in response to COVID, but we know they will incorporate masks, social distancing, and some measure of remote learning
We know tensions are high in the general population and it will be the same story in the schools, for both teachers and students
You know your child—how will s/he do in that environment?
How will you do in that environment?
If you plan to homeschool now, you’re ahead of the game. If you don’t plan for homeschooling, your life and that of your child will be in the hands of a school district that is making a guess at how to do school in these circumstances.
If homeschooling doesn’t work out, you can always re-enroll your child in a public school. I would suggest giving it at least a semester, better yet a year to work the kinks out. Remember, learning can happen at a kitchen table, in the car, waiting at a doctor’s office, in a store, on a road trip, or in your backyard. Life is a lesson waiting to be learned, and you’re in a good position to help guide your child through those lessons.

The British Columbia Centre for Disease Control’s website has an entire section dedicated to sex education during the virus pandemic. Deep within, government leading health experts suggest “glory holes” could be the safest technique to minimize virus spreading during sex.
“Use barriers, like walls (e.g., glory holes), that allow for sexual contact but prevent close face-to-face contact,” the Canadian CDC wrote.
As defined by Urban Dictionary, a “Gloryhole is a hole made in a thin wall or other type of partition where a man can insert their penis for sexual stimulation by an anonymous person on the other side.”
The crowdsourced online dictionary for slang words also said these holes “can be found in bathrooms in the stall wall, in private rooms found in adult bookstores, and in dark rooms and labyrinths in bathhouses. Open rooms in bathhouses with many gloryholes are called a sucktorium and often have a raised level on one side of the holes to allow everyone to stand.”
Canadian CDC also suggests “masturbation” and “virtual sex” are the best methods for getting turned on during the pandemic. Still, at the same time, it allows one to practice safe sex social distancing. If one is to “masturbate with a partner(s), physical distancing will lower your chance of getting COVID-19,” health officials added.
Of course, the internet went crazy, here’s what people had to say about top Canadian officials advising the public to use “glory holes.”

Osiris and the Sun

By Sir James George Frazer From The Golden Bough [ 1922 ] OSIRIS has been sometimes interpreted as the sun-god , and in modern times this view has been held by so many distinguished writers that it deserves a brief examination .
If we enquire on what evidence Osiris has been identified with the sun or the sun-god , it will be found on analysis to be minute in quantity and dubious , where it is not absolutely worthless , in quality .

But little weight can be attached to their evidence ; for the statement of Diodorus is vague and rhetorical , and the reasons which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ solar mythology , assigns for the identification are exceedingly slight .
The ground upon which some modern writers seem chiefly to rely for the identification of Osiris with the sun is that the story of his death fits better with the solar phenomena than with any other in nature .
It may readily be admitted that the daily appearance and disappearance of the sun might very naturally be expressed by a myth of his death and resurrection ; and writers who regard Osiris as the sun are careful to indicate that it is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , course of the sun to which they understand the myth to apply .
Thus Renouf , who identified Osiris with the sun , admitted that the Egyptian sun could not with any show of reason be described as dead in winter .

In the course of our enquiry it has , I trust , been made clear that there is another natural phenomenon to which the conception of death and resurrection is as applicable as to sunset and sunrise , and which , as a matter of fact , has been so conceived and represented in folk-custom .

From The Golden Bough [1922]
OSIRIS has been sometimes interpreted as the sun-god, and in modern times this view has been held by so many distinguished writers that it deserves a brief examination. If we enquire on what evidence Osiris has been identified with the sun or the sun-god, it will be found on analysis to be minute in quantity and dubious, where it is not absolutely worthless, in quality. The diligent Jablonski, the first modern scholar to collect and sift the testimony of classical writers on Egyptian religion, says that it can be shown in many ways that Osiris is the sun, and that he could produce a cloud of witnesses to prove it, but that it is needless to do so, since no learned man is ignorant of the fact. Of the ancient writers whom he condescends to quote, the only two who expressly identify Osiris with the sun are Diodorus and Macrobius. But little weight can be attached to their evidence; for the statement of Diodorus is vague and rhetorical, and the reasons which Macrobius, one of the fathers of solar mythology, assigns for the identification are exceedingly slight.
The ground upon which some modern writers seem chiefly to rely for the identification of Osiris with the sun is that the story of his death fits better with the solar phenomena than with any other in nature. It may readily be admitted that the daily appearance and disappearance of the sun might very naturally be expressed by a myth of his death and resurrection; and writers who regard Osiris as the sun are careful to indicate that it is the diurnal, and not the annual, course of the sun to which they understand the myth to apply. Thus Renouf, who identified Osiris with the sun, admitted that the Egyptian sun could not with any show of reason be described as dead in winter. But if his daily death was the theme of the legend, why was it celebrated by an annual ceremony? This fact alone seems fatal to the interpretation of the myth as descriptive of sunset and sunrise. Again, though the sun may be said to die daily, in what sense can he be said to be torn in pieces?
In the course of our enquiry it has, I trust, been made clear that there is another natural phenomenon to which the conception of death and resurrection is as applicable as to sunset and sunrise, and which, as a matter of fact, has been so conceived and represented in folk-custom. That phenomenon is the annual growth and decay of vegetation. A strong reason for interpreting the death of Osiris as the decay of vegetation rather than as the sunset is to be found in the general, though not unanimous, voice of antiquity, which classed together the worship and myths of Osiris, Adonis, Attis, Dionysus, and Demeter, as religions of essentially the same type. The consensus of ancient opinion on this subject seems too great to be rejected as a mere fancy. So closely did the rites of Osiris resemble those of Adonis at Byblus that some of the people of Byblus themselves maintained that it was Osiris and not Adonis whose death was mourned by them. Such a view could certainly not have been held if the rituals of the two gods had not been so alike as to be almost indistinguishable.

We cannot reject the evidence of such intelligent and trustworthy witnesses on plain matters of fact which fell under their own cognizance. Their explanations of the worships it is indeed possible to reject, for the meaning of religious cults is often open to question; but resemblances of ritual are matters of observation. Therefore, those who explain Osiris as the sun are driven to the alternative of either dismissing as mistaken the testimony of antiquity to the similarity of the rites of Osiris, Adonis, Attis, Dionysus, and Demeter, or of interpreting all these rites as sun-worship.

To accept the former would be to affirm that we know the rites of these deities better than the men who practised, or at least who witnessed them. To accept the latter would involve a wrenching, clipping, mangling, and distorting of myth and ritual from which even Macrobius shrank. On the other hand, the view that the essence of all these rites was the mimic death and revival of vegetation, explains them separately and collectively in an easy and natural way, and harmonises with the general testimony borne by the ancients to their substantial similarity.
