Dear Readers, this is a plea to all Hungarian's abroad; I AM ONE OF THOSE. Please find out how you can vote this Hungarian Election coming up next Sunday. I too will ask the consulate, Hungarian Cultural Center in my city to find out how we can vote from abroad. The future of Hungary depends on this election. The forces opposing Victor Orban include the movements supported by George Soros, the liberal Evil who continually is destroying free speech, and wants to overwhelm Europe with illegal migrants who have no intention to work or be integrated. PLEASE DEFEND HUNGARY, AND WESTERN CIVILIZATION BY YOUR VOTE!! THIS IS CRITICAL. PLEASE DEFEND WESTERN CIVILIZATION AND VOTE IN THIS ELECTION!!!!!!
Today is a new morning! The frost is kissing the roof tops of my street. The full moon adorned the night sky, somewhat larger and cream colour than normal. My hardy seeds are planted in the garden, including my potatoes. My garage is full of winemaking supplies, from demi-johns to pumps to pails and bottles of all kinds. I have the book "the encyclopedia of home winemaking". A retired doctor showered me with two rooms full of his supplies yesterday. I still have piles of more boxes to bring over, but at least his basement area is now more or less empty; the designate two rooms that he utilized for this hobby. By faith I hope someone in our family will wish to undertake this project down the road. I keep telling my daughter that she can build a cellar as an add on to their house when they put in their swimming pool. There is something about wine that reminds me about Jesus; how he made the wine at the wedding, and it was the most delicious ever, upon his mother's urging. His first miracle!
Yesterday, I meditated on Jesus' sacrifice on the cross. Being 'Good Friday' also brought a great remorse over my sins, and the sins of men. We are totally lost as sheep without our Great Shepherd. Jesus the most perfect Lamb was slaughtered for us, so that His blood sacrifice would be enough to redeem mankind from their total demise. I hope and pray that all my readers will take time to meditate, and spend time with their loved ones this weekend. Look Up, people for our Redemption is near.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rushed to hospital with high fever

Israeli
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been rushed to a hospital,
apparently suffering from a high fever and severe cough.
Netanyahu
was hospitalized Tuesday at Jerusalem's Hadassah Medical Center after
his personal physician, Dr. Tzvi Berkowitz, concluded that he had not
sufficiently recovered from an illness he had started battling two weeks
ago. Berkowitz said the prime minister's condition had worsened.
Berkowitz
confirmed to Israeli media that Netanyahu, 68, will undergo a series of
medical examinations that require hospitalization.
In
mid-March, Netanyahu had been homebound, holding government meetings at
his private residence. In a statement at that time, the prime
minister's office said Netanyahu had contracted strep throat and that
Berkowitz had prescribed medications and home rest.
I know a man who would like to give me his entire wine making set. I'm not sure if I am up to the challenge. I also do not have the cool cellar space that is needed.

As the overdose crisis continues in Vancouver, further questions
are being raised about city staff being able to administer Naloxone
during an emergency.
A
tweet from Overdose Prevention Society founder Sarah Blyth claimed that
lifeguards aren’t allowed to administer the overdose-reversing drug.
But recreation director Donnie Rosa said that’s not the case.
“Anybody, any city staff, can administer Naloxone or any life-saving measure,” said Rosa.
That is, as long as they’re trained.

However, it’s not mandatory that people be trained to administer
naloxone. Rosa said the decision to obtain training is a personal one.
“There’s no expectation that any employee puts their own safety at risk,” Rosa said.
She wouldn’t speculate on whether the training would eventually be required.

Last week, the Vancouver Public Library changed a policy that said
staff were not allowed to respond to overdoses inside their buildings.
The issue was brought to light after many questioned why staff weren’t allowed to intervene.
The library said all trained staff will now be allowed to administer Naloxone.
More than 1,400 people died of suspected drug overdoses in B.C. last year.
Vancouver saw 33 overdose fatalities in January 2018 alone, marking the most of any B.C. city.
The brutal killing of a Holocaust survivor raises anti-Semitism fears in France

PARIS —
The Paris prosecutor’s office is investigating whether anti-Semitism
was a motivation for the killing of an 85-year-old Holocaust survivor
that has outraged France’s Jewish community.
Mireille Knoll was
stabbed 11 times and left in her burning Paris apartment Friday, French
government spokesman Benjamin Griveaux announced Monday afternoon on
Twitter.
Authorities have taken two suspects into custody,
according to a judicial official who was not authorized to speak
publicly on the case and would tell The Washington Post only that one of
the suspects was born in 1989.
Jewish advocacy groups were quick
to put the case within the context of rising anti-Semitism in France
and to point out the similarities to another high-profile case being
investigated as anti-Semitic: the April 2017 killing of Sarah Halimi,
a 66-year-old Orthodox Jewish physician and kindergarten teacher who
was beaten in her apartment and then thrown out a window. Authorities
suspect a Muslim neighbor.
“This was the same Paris
arrondissement, several streets apart,” said Noémie Halioua, a French
journalist with Actualité Juive and the author of a new book on the
Halimi case. “And both victims were elderly women who lived alone and
who had both previously complained of threats.”
Knoll
and Halimi lived in the 11th Arrondissement (or district) on the eastern
side of Paris, an area that has traditionally been home to immigrant
populations but in recent years has seen large-scale gentrification.
“There is also the barbarity of the crimes and the fact that in both cases the victims were fragile women,” Halioua said.
In
the Knoll case, French authorities announced Monday that they were
investigating whether the suspects targeted the victim because she
belonged to a specific religion.
That new line of official inquiry came amid mounting public pressure.
Speaking on French radio
Monday morning, Francis Kalifat, the head of France’s largest Jewish
advocacy organization, the Representative Council of French Jewish
Organizations, bristled at the suggestion that investigators should use
caution before classifying the killing an anti-Semitic attack.
“Prudence?
Obviously,” he said. “But prudence doesn’t mean we should exclude the
possibility that this could have been an anti-Semitic act.”
French
authorities have often hesitated to formally ascribe a motivation of
“anti-Semitism” to attacks on Jews in recent years. This has been a
point of contention between Jewish leaders and the French government,
even as French President Emmanuel Macron has recently sought to improve
relations.
The
Halimi killing became a national scandal when authorities initially
declined to investigate it as an anti-Semitic attack, despite her
family’s testimony that the suspect had confronted her with verbal slurs
on a regular basis.
The same was true in the 2006 slaying of
Ilan Halimi, a 23-year-old Jewish cellphone salesman (no relation to
Sarah Halimi) who was killed by the “Gang of Barbarians,” a band of
immigrant criminals from the Paris suburbs. The gang had targeted Ilan
Halimi because he was Jewish — and had even demanded massive ransom sums
from his middle-class family, which the gang members assumed would be
wealthy because they were Jewish.
In the Sarah Halimi case, public outrage reached such a level that Macron intervened.
“I
took a stand by calling on justice to shed light on the anti-Semitic
dimension of Sarah Halimi’s murder,” he recalled in a speech this month,
“and I am glad that this dimension could finally be recognized. That is
what an investigation must be used to do, to establish the
circumstances of a crime and to qualify it precisely.”
But
at a time when Holocaust survivors’ numbers are dwindling, the killing
of Knoll proved a dark addition to a narrative that has provoked concern
among many European leaders, especially as instances of historical
revisionism take root across the continent.
As a child, Knoll escaped the “Vel d’Hiv”
roundup of Parisian Jews in July 1942, according to Meyer Habib, a
right-leaning French parliamentary deputy and confidant of Israeli Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Habib issued a statement on the case Sunday, drawing on a conversation with Knoll’s relatives.
Two
years into Nazi occupation, French police forces in Paris carried out
mass arrests of approximately 13,000 Jews, who were then deposited in
the now-demolished Velodrome d’Hiver stadium near the Eiffel Tower. Most
of those arrested were subsequently deported to Auschwitz.
On
the eve of the first Passover: "Then Moses called for all the elders of
Israel, and said unto them, Draw out and take you a lamb according to
your families, and kill the passover. And ye shall take a bunch of
hyssop, and dip [it] in the blood that [is]
in the bason, and strike the lintel and the two side posts with the
blood that [is] in the bason; and none of you shall go out at the door
of his house until the morning. For the LORD will pass through to smite
the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the
two side posts, the LORD will pass over the door, and will not suffer
the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite [you]. And ye shall
observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy sons for ever."
{Exodus 12:21-24 KJV} Are you under the blood of Jesus?
Today, Safeway had Phaska Cake.. Passover Cake on their bakery shelf. The teller asked me about it.. the meaning of the Passover. I gladly shared.
My Sweet Deborah as a little girl! Who would have thought that I'd loose her to suicide? I met the ladies who have lost loved ones to suicide and homicide this morning. I took some of the sandwiches that I had left over from the Norwex Party. It was nice to see them and I do so much appreciate their insight, and wisdom. We did not walk this morning in the cemetary, as it is cool and raining. Instead, I went and shopped some more at Safeway; the store that is closing in a month. I stocked up on many things like shoe polish, foil pans, canned meats etc.
I must say, I am longing to be reunited with my loved one. There isn't a day I don't think of her. Today, I removed her wilted flowers from the graveside, and instead put rose petals all over her grave.
J.C.
Ruf, 16, was a Cincinnati-area pitcher who died by suicide in the
laundry room of his house. Tayler Schmid, 17, was an avid pilot and
hiker who chose the family garage in upstate New York. Josh Anderson,
17, of Vienna, Va., was a football player who killed himself the day
before a school disciplinary hearing.
The young
men were as different as the areas of the country where they lived. But
they shared one thing in common: A despair so deep they thought suicide
was the only way out.
The suicide rate for white
children and teens between 10 and 17 was up 70% between 2006 and 2016,
the latest data analysis available from the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention. Although black children and teens kill themselves less
often than white youth do, the rate of increase was higher — 77%.
A
study of pediatric hospitals released last May found admissions of
patients ages 5 to 17 for suicidal thoughts and actions more than
doubled from 2008 to 2015. The group at highest risk for suicide are
white males between 14 and 21.
Experts and teens
cite myriad reasons, including spotty mental health screening, poor
access to mental health services and resistance among young men and
people of color to admit they have a problem and seek care. Then there's
the host of well-documented and hard to solve societal issues,
including opioid-addicted parents, a polarized political environment and
poverty that persists in many areas despite a near-record-low
unemployment rate.
And while some adults can tune out the constant scroll of depressing social media posts, it is the rare teen who even tries.
Then there's the simple fact they are teens.
"With
this population, it's the perfect storm for life to be extra
difficult," says Lauren Anderson, executive director of the Josh
Anderson Foundation in Vienna, Va., named after her 17-year-old brother
who killed himself in 2009. "Based on the development of the brain, they
are more inclined to risky behavior, to decide in that moment."
That's
very different from how even a depressed adult might weigh the
downsides of a decision like suicide, especially how it will likely
affect those left behind. And sometimes life is so traumatic, suicide
just seems like the best option for a young person.
Carmen
Garner, 40, used to walk across busy streets near his home in
Springfield, Mass. when he was a teen, hoping to get hit by a car to
escape life with drug addicted parents.
"Our
students are dying because they are not equipped to handle situations
created by adults — situations that leave a child feeling abandoned and
with a broken heart," says Garner, now a Washington elementary school art teacher and author. "Our students today face the same obstacles I faced 30 years ago."
After the leaves fall
November
is an especially difficult time in the Adirondack mountains resort town
where her family lives, says Laurie Schmid, Tayler's mother. As the
seasons change, the trees are bare, it's bitter cold and the small
community has shrunk after summer residents leave their lakefront
cottages.
In the weeks before he took his life
the day before Thanksgiving 2014, Tayler seemed sullen but his family
chalked it up to "teenage angst and boredom and laziness." It was likely
"masking his depression he was dealing with the last few years of his
life," she says.
As
her son moved through his teenage years, Schmid says she became less
focused on getting her son in to see his pediatrician annually, because
he didn't need shots and wasn't as comfortable with a female doctor.
Besides, he got annual physicals at school to compete on the school
soccer and track teams. Among the "what ifs" that plague her now is the
question of whether the primary care doctor who had treated Tayler all
his life would have picked up on cues about possible depression a new
doctor missed.
She
had even tried to get Tayler to see a mental health counselor, even
though finding one in their area of upstate New York wasn't easy. Once
Schmid and husband Hans settled on one, Tayler refused to go.
One
positive has risen out of the pain. There are far more resources and
awareness about mental health and the need for counseling in her area
now, thanks in part to the family's advocacy through the "Eskimo Strong"
group it started. A local counseling center even has an office at the
high school now.
Schmid
speaks to schools and parents regarding signs of depression, to
encourage counseling, and provide information for suicide hotlines and
text lines. Her oft-repeated motto is "Say Something" and "Talk to
Someone."
Mental illness also needs to be covered
by insurance at the same level as physical illness, says psychiatrist
Joe Parks, Missouri's former medical director for mental health
services.
There need to be more psychiatrists and
they also need to be part of primary care clinics, Parks said. At his
community health center in Columbia, Mo., he screens those who may be
suicidal and taught others to do it, too. Such "accountable care" was
envisioned, but not fully realized, under the Affordable Care Act.
Children
and teens who aren't covered by their parents' insurance can at least
rely on Medicaid's Children's Health Insurance Program. That's hampered
by low reimbursement rates that mean few psychiatrists accept it,
however.
So, even children who receive mental
health treatment, Parks said, may be in environments dominated by family
members with drug, alcohol or domestic abuse issues.
"Wouldn’t you expect that to increase depression in children?" he says.
Suicide chic?
If
super skinny — or muscular — models aren't enough to depress a teen,
flipping through social media feeds can prove misery loves at least
digital company.
Teens regularly post about hating
their lives and wanting to kill themselves, so much in fact that Parks
says it's almost like a competitive "race to the bottom."
On
one hand social media provides a place to vent and get advice, but on
the other hand, as Anderson said, “if everyone is commiserating over
everyone, is it really helpful?"
Because teens
are interacting in a way that isn't face to face, there’s less of a
connection, so it’s hard to understand what, if anything, to say when
someone says they want to die. Teens say they will see a post about
depression or suicide ideation and sometimes just pass it off as
relatable dark humor.
A recent post in one
Baltimore teen's Facebook feed: "Alright, so I will literally pay anyone
to shoot me in the head. Who wants a go at it? Please."
"There’s
been a lot of discussion about how suicide is potentially thought of as
a white person’s issue," says Craig Martin, global director of mental
health and suicide prevention at the men's health charity Movember
Foundation. "As a result of that, less is being done in black
communities to look at the issue of depression."
There's
also a more pronounced stigma in the African American community
surrounding mental health issues. African American men have fewer mental
health issues but more serious types when they are present. And they are far less likely to seek treatment, says New York City psychiatrist Sidney Hankerson.
Then there's the trauma that comes with living amidst multi-generational poverty and addiction.
A
version of the much-publicized opioid epidemic in often-rural white
communities has plagued inner city black families since long before
Garner was a boy.
Garner
thought "normal" meant watching his mother shoot heroin and his aunts
and uncles smoke crack. "I lived with rapists, murderers and drug
dealers and gangsters," he said.
Now, his students are his motivation. They and his family remind "me I don't have to try to kill myself anymore," Garner says.
On
a Monday night, Karen Ruf went to a Bible study and J.C. took his
grandmother out for unlimited shrimp on a Red Lobster gift card. When he
got home, he talked to some friends at about 7:30 p.m. No one heard
anything different in J.C.’s voice. Karen returned around 9:15 p.m. to a
quiet house. She called for her son, no answer. She came downstairs and
found his body.
Ruf
knew J.C's death wasn’t an accident because her son left his phone
unlocked so she could find his note: “Everything has a time. I decided
not to wait for mine. They say we regret the things we do not do. I
regret it a lot.”
Schmid's son Tayler also left
something on his phone. A video suicide note that talked about the
depressive thoughts he was having.
Hans and Hansen Schmid watched it. Laurie says she hasn't been able to: "That's not how I want to remember him."

A stark new art installation by US street artist Mark Jenkins has been unveiled on top of This Morning's
studio and ITV's main HQ today (March 26), with Holly Willoughby and
Phillip Schofield starting the show from in front of the building to
talk about the campaign.
Advertisement - Continue Reading Below
The campaign is called Project 84 and features 84 life-size sculptures (12 on top of This Morning's
studio and a further 72 on ITV's HQ roof) to raise awareness of the
fact that 84 men take their own lives every week in the UK, with suicide
continuing to be the single biggest killer of men under 45 and three in
four of all suicides being male.
ITV's
support of the campaign by male suicide prevention charity CALM
(Campaign Against Living Miserably) is designed to initiate a
conversation around male suicide and a movement towards better suicide
prevention and bereavement support.
"Here at This Morning
we never shy away from stories that can be difficult to talk about –
and without doubt, one of the most heartbreaking is losing a loved one
to suicide," Phil noted.
Holly
added: "That is why today we are unveiling 84 life-sized sculptures –
each representing a real man who has taken his own life, in the hope
that it will stop people in their tracks, make them pay attention and
get them talking."
The
sculptures, made possible by male grooming brand Harry's, were created
by Jenkins and his collaborator Sandra Fernandez and are visual
representations of 84 real British men who tragically took their own
lives, with the sculptures created during a series of workshops with
bereaved family members and friends of the deceased.
"Achieving our goal of male suicide prevention requires everybody to take a stand, and we're thrilled that This Morning is taking a stand with us," explained Simon Gunning, CEO of CALM. "Project 84 is all about making the scale of the situation very clear to everyone who sees the sculptures."
Along
with the sculpture, a petition has also been launched by CALM and
Matthew Smith, who lost his brother Dan to suicide, aimed at convincing
the government to take action to improve suicide prevention and
bereavement support.
My Japanese student has been seeing 20 minutes of this film daily, until we finish watching it. Today for the first time she is in a Japanese Gospel church with her girlfriend. My husband took them there, while I host a Norwex party I told my readers about. I am exhausted as I prepared the house for the lady to demonstrate her products. Now I am just sitting back and enjoying seeing my house get cleaned with her special cloths.. Love you all. Have a wonderful weekend. Remember today is Nisan 10, Jesus' Triumphant entry into Jerusalem Praise the Lord!!!
Deb Murtagh"And
ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout
[all] the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubilee
unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye
shall return every man unto his family. A jubilee
shall that fiftieth year be unto you: ye shall not sow, neither reap
that which groweth of itself in it, nor gather [the grapes] in it of thy
vine undressed." {Leviticus 25:10-11 KJV} "Then
shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubilee to sound on the tenth [day]
of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet
sound throughout all your land." {Leviticus 25:9 KJV} Is scripture right
as to when a Jubilee year begins/ends, or is man right? Does this say a
Jubilee begins in the first month, Nisan (Mar/Apr)? Or does it say a
Jubilee begins in the seventh month, Tishri (Sep/Oct)? You decide. I
really don't know how people can believe, in spite of what scripture
says, that the *end* of the Jubilee is Nisan, which is only six months
into the Jubilee year. {see Romans 3:4}
A suicide bomber blew himself up near a shrine in Kabul on
Wednesday, killing at least 32 people and wounding dozens, as the Afghan
capital celebrated the Nawruz holiday marking the start of the Persian
new year.
The explosion underlined the threat to the city from militant
attacks, despite government promises to tighten security in the wake of
an attack in January that killed around 100 people.
Militant group Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) claimed
responsibility for the attack, its Amaq news agency said. An affiliate
of the group has claimed previous attacks on Shia targets. WARNING: This video contains graphic images that may be disturbing:

"The martyrdom operation carried out with a suicide vest struck a Shi'ite gathering during their Nawruz holiday celebrations in the city of Kabul," the agency said.
Kabul had been on alert for attacks over the Nawruz holiday but the
bomber was still able to detonate his explosives as people were leaving
the Kart-e Sakhi shrine in the west of the city.
"When the explosion took place, I fell to the ground and I saw many
people on the ground around me," said Ramazan, who was wounded in the
blast at the shrine, near the city's main university.
Security presence can't prevent attack
Interior Ministry spokesman Najib Danesh said the bomber had
apparently intended to reach the shrine, a target of previous militant
attacks, but had been prevented from getting closer by police
checkpoints.
"We had our security in place in and around the shrine," he said.
"All the casualties were young men who were either passing by on the
road or gathering to enjoy Nawruz."

Dr. Waheed Majroh, a spokesman for the ministry of public health,
said 32 people were confirmed dead with more than 50 wounded being
treated in hospitals in the city. Women and children were among the
casualties, he said.
Nawruz, an ancient Persian celebration of the start of spring, is
widely celebrated in many parts of Afghanistan but has also faced
opposition from some fundamentalist Muslims, who say it is un-Islamic.
The seemingly endless attacks have undermined support for the
government of President Ashraf Ghani, who offered last month to hold
peace talks with Taliban insurgents fighting to drive out international
forces and reimpose their version of strict Islamic law.
The Taliban have so far shown little sign of accepting the offer of
talks with the Western-backed government, which they consider an
illegitimate, foreign-imposed regime, although they have offered to talk
to the United States.
