US State Dept Slams Congress Funding Block of PA at UN

The US State Dept. has slammed efforts by a Florida lawmaker to block the PA from seeking United Nations membership as a new country.

The U.S. State Department has slammed a Florida lawmaker for trying to block the Palestinian Authority from seeking recognition as a new country and membership in the United Nations in September.

U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee chairwoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen announced Tuesday she had advanced a measure to block U.S. funding to any U.N. member or group that supports an upgrade to the PA's diplomatic status next month.

State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland told reporters the Republican Congresswoman's proposed measure would “seriously undermine our international standing and dangerously weaken the U.N. as an instrument to advance U.S. national security goals.”

The measure is actually a clause folded into a larger proposed bill that would transform the U.S. portion of United Nations funding into a voluntary contribution, one conditional upon American agreement on each funding target.

“We believe in U.N. reform,” added Nuland, “[but] we just don't think that this is the right way to go about it.” The Obama administration warned long before Ros-Lehtinen submitted her proposal that the president would oppose it, according to the Reuters news agency.

The Congresswoman said her efforts were aimed not only at preventing the PA from gaining recognition as a new country, but also at stopping the entity from achieving a second option in lieu of the first – upgrading its current status from that of a U.N. observer to a non-member state. [1]

Shabbat FAQ

Shabbat is the most important ritual observance in Judaism. It is the only ritual observance instituted in the Ten Commandments. It is also the most important special day, even more important than Yom Kippur. This is clear from the fact that more aliyahs (opportunities for congregants to be called up to the Torah) are given on Shabbat than on any other day.

Shabbat is primarily a day of rest and spiritual enrichment. The word "Shabbat" comes from the root Shin-Bet-Tav, meaning to cease, to end, or to rest.

Shabbat is not specifically a day of prayer. Although we do pray on Shabbat, prayer is not what distinguishes Shabbat from the rest of the week. Observant Jews pray every day, three times a day.

The weekly day of rest has no parallel in any other ancient civilization. In ancient times, leisure was for the wealthy and the ruling classes only, never for the serving or laboring classes. In addition, the very idea of rest each week was unimaginable. The Greeks thought Jews were lazy because we insisted on having a "holiday" every seventh day.

Shabbat involves two interrelated commandments: to remember (zachor) the Sabbath, and to observe (shamor) the Sabbath.

Of course, no discussion of Shabbat would be complete without a discussion of the work that is forbidden on Shabbat. Most Americans see the word "work" and think of it in the English sense of the word: physical labor and effort, or employment.

The problem lies not in Jewish law, but in the definition that Americans are using. The Torah does not prohibit "work" in the 20th century English sense of the word. The Torah prohibits "melachah" which is usually translated as "work," but does not mean precisely the same thing as the English word.

Melachah generally refers to the kind of work that is creative, or that exercises control or dominion over your environment. The word may be related to "melech" (king). The quintessential example of melachah is the work of creating the universe, which G-d ceased from on the seventh day. Note that G-d's work did not require a great physical effort: he spoke, and it was done.

This Day…

2000 years ago…

We forget that the world was a busy place 2,000 years ago, and our ancestors who were J1 DNA haplotype, were where we would expect them to be, In Israel. Notice they are also in England.

[2]



August 31, 12: Birth date of Gaius Caligula, Roman Emperor. Caligula was crowned in 37 and murdered in 41. Life for Jews during his reign was part of the downward spiral that would result in three rebellions by the Jews over the next one hundred years.

Caligula thought he was divine and insisted on his statue being placed in the Temple at Jerusalem. His efforts were twice thwarted and his untimely death prevented him from taking vengeance against his Jewish subject.[3]



August 31, 38: Riots broke out in Alexandria Egypt after the Jews spurned an order by the Roman Prefect Flaccus to place a statue of Emperor Caligula in the local synagogue. This was an outgrowth of antagonixm between the Jews of Alexandria and some of their pagan neighbors. The paganswere angered by the Jews celebrating Caligula’s decision to restore Agrippa, a descendant of the Hasmonneans to the Jewish kingship in Palestine. They knew that the Jews counld not worship a statue so by forcing statue of Caligula into the synague, Apion, the pagan leader knew he was asking for trouble. The violence ended and Flaccus was was recalled to Rome. But this was not the end of th e trouble much of which rooted in the fact that some pagans begrudged the Jews their commercial success and withed to do away with them as competitiors. This would not be the last time that those who sought to oust the Jews from commersial ventures did nso under the guise of religion.[4]



August 31, 1056: Byzantine Empress Theodora becomes ill, dying suddenly a few days later, without children to succeed the throne ending the Macedonian dynasty. This was period of relative calm for the Jews of the Byzantine Empire. The last official persecution had taken place at the end of the 10th century. Conditions would not seriously deterioriate until the waves of Crusaders that began at the end of the 11th century.[5]

‘In 1066 three brothers, Hubert, Raymond and Robert, the sons of Harold (de Vaux) Lord of Normandy, accompanied William the Conqueror to England and their descendants became Lord de Vaux of Pentry and Bevar in Norfolk, of Gilliesland in Cumberland and Harrowden in Northamptonshire. Quite a number of the family emigrated to the United States."[6]

The family of Harold (de Vaux) Lord of Vaux in Normandy came with William the Conqueror to England. On the continent of Europe the de Vaux have been Dukes of Andrea, Princes of Joinville, Farauta & Altanara, Counts of Orange and Province and Kings of Vienna and Arles.[7]

The invasion and conquest of England in 1066 by William the Conqueror and his Norman French army brought about a new phase in the development of the English language. Originally of Viking ancestry (that is why these French were called Normans, that is Norsemen), the Normans by the middle of the elevent century had become “Frenchified” in language and culture (their language is designated as Norman French, a dialect of Old French).[8]

The Norman invasion of 1066 at once transforms England into a centralized monarchy modeled on a French feudal order and officially brings an end to the Viking age. The renowned Bayou tapestry commemorating the Battle of Hastings on October 14, 1066 depicts the English King, Harold Godwinson, losing his Kingdom, and his life. William the Bastard, the victorious Duke of Normandy, and a descendant of the Viking “Rollo” is forever after known as William the Conqueror. Ultimately it is rather ironic that this Viking descendant brought the French language and culture, but when you look at the Bayou Tapestry it might have been French, but it was also very much Viking. Although the Normans are shown with French style armour and weapons, their ships are of Viking design.[9]

After the Battle of Hastings in 1066, when the Norman French defeated the English, French became the language of the elite in English society, the only langujagge used by governmental officials and in the courts. Latin was the official language of the Catholic Church; only French and Latin were taught in the schools of the day, not English.[10]

August 31, 1703: **. Lawrence Taliaferro9 [Sarah Smith8, Lawrence Smith7, Christopher Smith6, Thomas Smythe5, Thomas Smythe4, John Smythe3, Richard2, William1] (b. 1682 in Stafford Co. VA / d. abt. May 1726 in Essex Co. VA) married Sarah Thornton (b. December 17, 1680 in Gloucester Co. VA) on August 31, 1703 in Richmond, VA.

August 31, 1756

British General Webb gives up the Mohawk Valley in New York to the French, during the French and Indian War.[12]



Thursday, August 31st, 1775



At Coashoskis. Mr. Anderson could not find his horse. Sold all my goods for Furs. In the afternoon rambled about the Town, smoking Tobacco with the Indians and did everything in my power to make myself agreeable to them. Went to see the King. He lives in a poor house, and he is as poor in dress as any of them, no emblem of Royalty or Majesty about him. He is an old man, treated me very kindly, called me his good friend, and hoped I would be kind to my Squaw. Gave me a small string of Wampum as a token of friendship. My Squaw uneasy to see me write so much.[13]



New York, August 31st. 1776 Inclination as well as duty, would have Induced me to give Congress the earliest information of my removal and that of the Troops from Long Island & Its dependencies to this City the night before last, but the extreme fatigue, which myself and Family [his military staff] have undergone as much from the Weather since the Engagement of the 27th. rendered me & them entirely







unfit to take a pen in hand. Since Monday scarce any of us have been out of the Lines till our passage across the East River was effected yesterday morning & for Forty Eight Hours preceeding that I had hardly been of my Horse and never closed my Eyes so that I was quite unfit to write or dictate till this Morning.

Our Retreat was made without any Loss of Men or Ammunition and in better order than I expected from Troops in the situation ours were. We brought off all our Cannon & Stores, except a few heavy pieces, which in the condition the earth was by a long continued rain we found upon Trial impracticable. The Wheels of the Carriages Sinking up to the Hobs rendered it impossible for our whole force to drag them. We left but little Provisions on the Island except some Cattle which had been driven within our lines and which after many attempts to force across the water we found impossible to effect circumstanced as we were. I have enclosed a copy of the council of War held previous to the Retreat, to which I beg leave to refer Congress for the reasons or many of them, that led to the adoption of that measure. Yesterday Evening and last Night a party of our Men were employed in bringing our Stores, Cannon, Tents &ca. from Governors Island, which they nearly compleated. Some of the Heavy Cannon remain there still, but I expect will be got away to day.

In the Engagement on the 27th. Generals Sullivan & Stirling were made prisoners. The former has been permitted on his parole to return for a little time. From Lord Stirling I had a Letter by Geni. Sullivan, a Copy of which I have the Honor to transmit. That contains his Information of the Engagement with his Brigade. It is not so full and certain as I could wish, he was hurried most probably as his Letter was unfinished. Nor have I been yet able to obtain an exact amount of our Loss, we suppose it from 700 to a Thousand killed & taken. Gen. Sullivan says Lord Howe is extremely desirous of seeing some of the Members of Congress for which purpose he was allowed to come out & to communicate to them what has passed between him & his Lordship. I have consented to his going to Philadelphia, as I do not mean or conceive it right to withhold or prevent him from giving such Information as he possesses in this Instance.

I am much hurried & engaged in arranging and making new Dispositions of our Forces, The movements of the Enemy requiring them to be immediately had, and therefore have only time to add that I am with my best regards to Congress, and to you.

The British, using an unguarded road, had fallen on the rear of the regiments of General John Sullivan and the man the Americans knew as Lord Stirling for his claim to an extinct Scottish earldom. The enemy was suddenly on the slopes of Brooklyn Heights itself and might easily have carried the redoubts against the panicky, green defenders if Howe, probably with grim memories of Bunker Hill, had not held them back. Washington’s water-borne rescue of his army transported across the East River to Manhattan on a foggy night—was a marvel of secrecy, but no retreat is a cause for rejoicing. Through John Hancock, Washington gave Congress his views of a basic weakness of the Army. [14]

August 31, 1777: At every house we passed a pardon letter was nailed, and a watch was posted to prevent looting…[15] (Franz Gotlop’s Regiment?) (

August 31, 1777. Learning that the " Holy Father" desired to

preach this morning, the prisoners vacated the chapel, and

insisted that the members of the congregation should enter

first. The chapel was packed full, and the Hessians accom-

panied the singing with their musical instruments. Bro.

Bader preached on Luke 17. 11. The heat was intense or

the service would have been held in the open air. [16][17] (Conrad Gotlip’s Regiment?)





WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 31.



August 31, 1785: At Mount Yernon : " August 31. This day I told Doct r

Craik that I would contribute One hundred Dollars p r An-

num, as long as it was necessary, towards the Education of

His Son Geo Washington either in this Country or in Scot-

land." Washington's Diary.



Dr. James Craik, a graduate of the University of Edinburgh, was born

in Scotland, and settled in Virginia in the year 1753. He joined the

expedition to the Ohio in 1754, and was with Colonel Washington at

the battle of the Great Meadows and the surrender of " Fort Necessity," in

July of that year. Dr. Craik was in the Braddock campaign of 1755, and

remained attached to the Virginia troops until about 1763. He also served

as a surgeon in the Revolutionary war. The friendship formed between

"Washington and the doctor in 1754 lasted through their lives, and he was

a frequent and most welcome guest at Mount Vernon. He attended the

General in his last illness, and was remembered in his will as his " compa-

triot inarms and old and intimate friend." Dr. Craik died February 6,

1814, at the age of eighty-two. [18]



August 31, 1864: Dr. William McKinnon Goodlove (1st cousin, 3 times removed) and the 57th Ohio Volunteer Infantry,Battle of Jonesboro, Georgia, August 31-September 1.[19]

Hiram Winans MR Hunter[22] wrote one to MR Hunter [23]

August 31, 1916: Miss Bessie Goodlove was a guest in the Owen Turner home in Marion last week.[24]

July 1-August 31, 1941: Eisatzgruppe D,Wehrmacht forces, and Escalon Special, a Romanian unit, kill between 150,000 and 160,000 Jews in Bessarabia.[25].



August 31, 1941: Churchill received 17 reports of the shooting of Jews and Russians in numbers ranging between 61 and 4,200. These reports covered the two month period beginning with June, 1941 when the Nazis invaded the Soviet Union and the special Killing Squads began their work.[26]



August 31, 1941: In response to a Jewish reprisal raid on a German patrol, all Jews were confined to their homes. That evening the “action” commenced. The entire Jewish section of Vilna was raided. As a result 2,019 women, 864 men, and 817 children were taken away to pits in Ponar forsts and all shot dead. This event is notable for two reasons. First it is unusual because it includes the report of Jewish Resistance. Second it is unusual because the Nazis supplied a specific reason for killing Jews.[27]

August 31-September 3, 1941: Eight thousand Vilna Jews are killed in Ponary.[28]



August 31, 1942: The German advance reaches within 16 miles of Stalingrad in the Soviet Union.[29]

Hi Jeff, I am interested in reading your study, “The Goodlove DNA: Coming to America. The story of Franz Gottlob, a Hessian Mercenary Soldier’s Journey to America and his Battle for Freedom” Please let me know how I can access the information. Thanks. Linda



Linda, Thank you for asking about this project. Before I forget, I saw that your book "Our Grandmother's" was at my favorite library in the world, the Newberry in Chicago while I was there. "The Goodlove DNA: Coming to America. The story of Franz Gottlob, a Hessian Mercenary Soldier's Journey to America and his Battle for Freedom" is a work in progress and is large Power Point presentation. It is not really in book form yet. Some of the questions are finding more information about his regimental information, and looking at his last known residence before coming to America, which was Werneck, Bavaria, Germany, as well as getting more DNA tests from Godlove's, and others so we can identify potential descendants. There are really three individuals that draw attention in the Hessian group. Franz Gottlop, that we have already identified as being the patriarch of the Godlove's. Conrad Gotlip, and George Gottliep that are is a strong suspects. Our Conrad Goodlove's DNA shows that we do have a common ancestor to Franz Gottlop, I would like to get an ancestor of the George Gottlieb line to be tested so we can see what we might find.

[20] The regiment had spent a glorious fall campaigning in the Valley with Sheridan’s Army of the Shenandoah. The campaign must have sparked memories of Vicksburg with its excellent jayhawking, victorious fighting, and complete confidence in their commander. As at Vicksburg, the cost of success had been excessive. On August 31, 1864, the 24th Iowa had numbered 668 enlisted men and 29 commissioned officers. After the Battle of Cedar Creek, only 9 officers and 238 enlisted men were present for duty. The regiment had lost their respected commander, Colonel Wilds, as well as most of the Company captains who had led the 24th at Vicksburg. Though destined to served their full three year enlistment, the veterans of the 24th Iowa had completed service as a combat regiment. (Longley, Annals of Iowa (Oct., 1894) pp 446, 553, 562.)

[22] MILTON R. HUNTER, physician, Catawba. Of the great number who represent some profession, and especially that of the medical, there are comparatively few who, by hard study and constant devotion to their practice, have reached a more perfect degree of security in their profession than that already attained by Dr. Hunter. His grandfather, Jonathan Hunter, was a native of England, who emigrated to Philadelphia, where he learned the tailoring business, afterward moving to Virginia, where he remained until 1805, when he removed with his family to Pleasant Township, Clark Co., Ohio, and entered Sec. 22, in the western part of the township, where he resided until his death. Jonathan, Jr., the father of Milton R., was one of his sons, and was born in Loudoun Co., Va., March 14, 1786; came to Ohio with his parents, and served in the war of 1812, which broke out a few years after their coming to this State. He followed farming all his life; came into possession of the old homestead, and continued to live in the same section until his death, Nov. 18, 1845. Milton R. was born upon his father's farm, in Pleasant Township, March 24, 1817, and his early life was spent assisting; in the farm labors and in attendance at the district school. Upon attaining manhood he began teaching, and in his leisure time read medicine, studying under Dr. J. S. Howell, of Springfield, Ohio. He began the practice of his profession at Catawba, in 1840, and, after attending lectures at the Eclectic Medical Institute of Cincin nati, Ohio, he graduated in 1852. He was married, Dec. 27, 1842, to Miss Nancy J. Goodlove, daughter of C. Goodlove, she dying April 3, 1852, leaving two children Mary C. and Franklin C. The Doctor was again married, Nov. 6, 1860, to Mrs. Sarah McConkey, the daughter of D. C. and Sarah Skillman, from which union they have had three children born to them, viz., Mary, Frederick M. and Sallie C. Dr. Hunter has now been practicing medicine in Catawba more than forty years, and has always done the biggest portion of the professional work in his vicinity. He is a well read, well-informed gentleman, courteous and generous toward all with whom he comes in contact, pleasant and affable in his manners, and enjoys the confidence of a large circle of the warmest friends, who respect his ability as a physician, and admire his manly integrity in all things. Has been a member of the M. E. Church for forty-one years; believes in the divinity of Jesus Christ, and that the Bible is a revelation of God. http://www.heritagepursuit.com/Clark/ClarkPleasantbio.htm
