THE IMPORTANCE OF RESPECTING MINORITY RIGHTS AND THE SOVEREIGNTY CLAUSE Dr PIETER MULDER “Do you speak South African?” an American journalist asked me during the 1993 negotiations. He arrived in South Africa in the morning and clearly did not do his homework on the country. When I explained that Afrikaans was my first language and that my ancestors had arrived here in 1685, long before the majority of Americans had arrived in the USA, his next question was: “The French speak French and the Germans speak German, so how many people in South Africa speak South African?” During the negotiations in 1995, the Constitutional Assembly had an advertisement that read as follows: “South Africa: 20 million women; 18 million men; 8 religions; 25 church groups; 31 cultural groups; 14 languages; 9 racial groups; 1 country.” So many different identities in a single country. Potential for conflict in South Africa In 1993, while South Africa was busy with negotiations, Ted Gurr and his collaborators found that in the post-Cold War era, community conflicts emerged as the single most serious threat to peace. Of the twenty seven notable conflicts that afflicted the world in that time, twenty five were within countries and between communities — not between countries. With the end of the Cold War, the politics of ideology mostly came to an end and was replaced by the politics of identity. The previous Secretary General of the United Nations, Mr Boutros Boutros-Ghali, said: “ethnic conflict poses as great a danger to common world security as did the Cold War.” He added: “No country today, and particularly multi-ethnic countries, can afford to ignore ethnic conflict”. (In a paper for the National Defence University, Washington DC; Nov. 1993). As it became clear that the political situation in South Africa was changing in the 1990’s, we made an in-depth study of situations in the world where problems, similar to South Africa’s, were evident. We concentrated specifically on countries with diverse populations and ethnic, cultural and language problems. The civil war between Eritrea and Ethiopia was brought about by ethnic and cultural differences. In his book Clash of Civilizations, Samuel Huntington states that ethnic and cultural differences are the main cause for conflict in the world in the post-Cold War era. Exactly while we were busy with negotiations and had the 1994 elections in South Africa this reality was cruelly emphasised as Hutus slaughtered 800 000 Tutsis in Burundi. In Belgium, differences with regard to language lead to conflict between Francophones and the Flemish-speaking inhabitants. There was also conflict between Francophones and Anglophones in Canada. Religious differences lead to conflict in North Ireland. Despite the USA’s modern constitution and approach to human rights, racially-based unrests are common. The conflicts in the abovementioned examples were caused by a single difference, but in South Africa, we have all of these differences in a single country – differences with regard to religion, language, race, income, ethnicity and culture, and many more. Within this context, it is apt to conclude that South Africa has a much greater chance for conflict when compared to most other countries. One of the definitions of politics is that it aims to manage differences. Liberal democracy is the most popular democratic model in the world today. The West easily markets it as the only democratic model available and subsequently exports it to Iraq and every other African state. In a simplistic liberal democratic model, like the one offered to Africa by the West, 51% of the population imposes its will on the other 49% of the same population. In a homogenous state, where governments replace one another regularly, this may be tolerated. In the typically heterogeneous states found in Africa, however, this is a recipe for conflict and instability. The history of Africa proves this. The opposition, which usually has specific ethnic or language loyalties, does not experience this model as being democratic, but rather as permanent oppression and domination. This consequently leads to resistance and subversion. This simplistic model against which African states are presently being measured, is not used in all Western states. In 1992, when South Africa’s negotiations started, Switzerland, Belgium and Spain had already refined and adapted their political models to federations with autonomous regions that have different levels of self-determination for the various groups within their states. Ethiopia did the same. The Ethiopian constitution that came into operation in 1995, established a federation comprised of nine ethnic-linguistic states and two federal states. In 1960, Nigeria started off with three regions, not long after that, it had twelve federal states and today Nigeria is a federal republic, divided into thirty-six states. There are many examples of advanced democratic models that replaced the simplistic liberal democracy by the time that our negotiations in South Africa started. Participatory democracy or radical democracy follow on liberal democracy. This allows for the acknowledgement and empowerment, not only of individuals, but also of communities. The true culture of democracy surely lies within the spirit of participation. Where the basis of individual rights is enshrined in human dignity, the basis for community rights is found in the acknowledgement of this reality. The conclusion of our in-depth study was that different levels of self-determination, federalism, autonomy and group or minority rights were the solutions to the problems that the countries we investigated had in common with South Africa. The United Nations documents and the European Parliaments’ conventions offer the same solutions to these problems. 4 March 1994: The Freedom Front was founded as a political party with General Constand Viljoen as its leader. The party aimed to participate in the elections on the conditions stipulated in the Accord, if it was signed in time. In this way, we planned to continue with negotiations after the elections. 23 April 1994: The Accord on Afrikaner Self-Determination was signed. In the Accord, the Freedom Front, the ANC and the South African Government/NP agreed to address, through negotiations, the idea of Afrikaner self-determination and such negotiations would not exclude the possibility of local and/or regional and other forms of expression of such self-determination. 27 April 1994 Elections: Twenty-seven political parties participated in the Kempton Park negotiations. Nineteen parties participated in the elections of 27 April 1994 and only seven reached Parliament. The Freedom Front, with barely one month to canvass, came fourth after the ANC, the NP and the IFP. The Accord stipulated that the Freedom Front had to have proven support in the provincial elections. The Freedom Front got 640 000 votes and it was deemed proven support, which made continued negotiations on self-determination and minority rights possible and it also paved the way for further negotiations. The Freedom Front participated in the constitutional process and focused specifically on the inclusion of the principles of self-determination and minority rights in the Constitution. This resulted in the Freedom Front playing a key role in the inclusion of the following articles in the new Constitution of the Republic of South Africa (Act 108 of 1996): - Article 235, which refers to the notion of territorial self-determination. Since the preconditions contained in the constitutional principle XXXIV were met and complied with according to the Constitutional Court, section 235 was incorporated in the final Constitution. It reads: “The right of the South African people as a whole to self-determination, as manifested in this Constitution, does not preclude, within the framework of this right, recognition of the notion of the right of self-determination of any community sharing a common cultural and language heritage, within a Territorial entity in die Republic or in any other way, determined by national legislation.” - Article 185, which provides for a Commission for the Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Cultural, Religious and Language Communities. This was a step in the right direction for minority rights, but it was difficult to negotiate. The ANC opposed this and they often quoted from the Freedom Charter to argue their position. But one part of the charter was never quoted. No one quoted from the third part of the Charter. As a result, we made use of it as it states: All National Groups shall have Equal Rights! “There shall be equal status in the bodies of state, in the courts and in the schools for all national groups and races; “All people shall have equal right to use their own languages, and to develop their own folk culture and customs; “All national groups shall be protected by law against insults to their race and national pride.” - Articles 30 and 31, which recognise collective rights for language and cultural communities. Whereas individual human rights were emphasised at the end of the Second World War, by the end of the previous century, the concept had been developed and expanded to also include minority rights. Today, minority rights, as applicable to ethnic, religious or linguistic minorities and indigenous peoples, form an integral part of international human rights law. Subsequent human rights standards that codify minority rights include the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (1966); the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Persons Belonging to National or Ethnic, Religious and Linguistic Minorities (1992); two Council of Europe treaties (the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities (1995) and the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages (1992); the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) Copenhagen Document of 1990; to name but a few. In our negotiations, we used and copied article 27 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and it reads: “In those States in which ethnic, religious or linguistic minorities exist, persons belonging to such minorities shall not be denied the right, in community with the other members of their group, to enjoy their own culture, to profess and practise their own religion, or to use their own language.” Article 31 of the 1996 South African Constitution states that: “Persons belonging to a cultural, religious or linguistic community may not be denied the right, with other members of that community to enjoy their culture, practise their religion and use their language; and to form, join and maintain cultural, religious and linguistic associations and other organs of civil society.” Although the Freedom Front succeeded in having the abovementioned articles included in the Constitution, the modern interpretation of self-determination and minority rights, according to present international law, is still not met. The Freedom Front sees the Constitution as a point of departure for moving towards these ideals. Red Lights – The Situation today sets alarm bells ringing. - Economy and poverty Die kredietgraderingsmaatskappye se waarskuwings en afgraderings van Suid-Afrika se ekonomie, laat talle rooi ligte flikker. Die internasionale ekonomiese groei na die resessie is nou 3,2%, die sterkste sedert 2008. China groei met meer as 6,5%. Teen hierdie agtergrond behoort Suid-Afrika meer as 2% te groei. Die 0,6% groei in Suid-Afrika se bruto binnelandse produk (BBP) is in skerp teenstelling/kontras met die internasionale groei van 3,2%. Die sterk styging in staatskuld vandat president Zuma president geword het, is ʼn belangrike bydraende faktor in die probleem. In 2008-2009 was die staatskuld 21,8% van die bruto binnelandse produk. Dit het meer as verdubbel tot 46% in 2017-2018 Sonder drastiese maatreels stuur Suid-Afrika op ʼn finansiële krisis en ʼn debt trap af. Dit kan lei tot ʼn potensiele kapitale uitvloei van tussen R80 miljard en R140 miljard. Die regering moet dringend van hulle ekonomiese beleide hersien want tans demp dit die ekonomie in plaas daarvan om groei te stimuleer. Beleidsekerheid en dat korrupsie gestuit word, is verder nodig. Ek was teenwoordig waar ʼn minister gesê het hy/sy wil nie in die kabinet wees die dag as die regering nie meer die 17 miljoen sosiale “grants” kan betaal nie. U kan dink wat die gevolge daarvan sal wees. - Radicalisation and skewed/twisted perceptions In 1996, the negotiators were united in their motivation to find win-win solutions that would accommodate everyone in South Africa – leading to positive debates. Therefore, the atmosphere was totally different from what we experience in Parliament today (2017). The 1996 negotiations on the Constitution entailed daily discussions and debates – mostly in small groups where South Africa’s future, and our take on it, was discussed. We were compelled to listen to each other and had to try and understand the other person’s viewpoints – whether you agreed or not. What did I learn during those days? I learnt that I do not mind being criticised for what I believe in, but do not criticise me for what you think I believe. I miss this in our present parliament. Nowadays we have debates on our skewed/twisted perceptions of one another, without really trying to understand what exactly the other side believes or is trying to say. In 1996, the political keywords were “agreement” and “settlement” between the various groups. At present, we only hear of the “triumph of one group over the other”, specifically from the mouths of the youth that had not even been born in 1990. In a Truth Commission session on 14 October 1997, Leon Wessels said: “…others are still learning the Chris Hani truism once expressed to me – ‘We (the ANC) concede the fact that we never broke the back of the South African Defence Force and South African Police, but you must concede the fact that you never broke the spirit of liberation in the townships’”. In 1996, “compromises” were sought. At present, the slogan is: “We have the answers and we know best”. If you do not go along, you are unpatriotic and probably racist. In 1996, there was talk of the “rainbow nation”; now we only hear of “black and white”. The result of all of this? In a reconciliatory climate, both sides can acknowledge their mistakes and make concessions. In an accusatory climate, however, groups move away from each other and intensify their opposing viewpoints. All of this inevitably leads to greater polarisation, which automatically results in each side holding more radical views. There are radical opinions in all communities. Mostly, however, only a minority supports these radical viewpoints. Such a minority viewpoint should not unnecessarily be given status. When is a community in trouble? A community is in trouble when these radical minority viewpoints become the viewpoint of the majority of the community. How do we prevent this? By leaders setting the right example. The leaders of all the groups must address the problem and in so doing, create a climate different from the current one. It can be done with wise and courageous leaders. And such leaders exist. - Nation Building recipe Do we have the right recipe for nation building in South Africa? One cannot stumble from one international sporting event to the next and then call it nation building. Nation building is always difficult. In some countries it is easier because most of the people in the country speak the same language and share the same culture. When the European countries divided Africa amongst themselves with artificial boundaries, people with different languages were artificially thrown together into one country. In these African states, there is not a single language and culture to form the foundation for nation building. As an alternative, the resistance to the colonial oppressors was used as a nation building recipe. They created a scapegoat. Because the European “bosses” went back to Europe, it worked well to unite people against them as the common absent enemy. This African recipe for nation building cannot work in South Africa where Afrikaners and other “whites” and “Asians” are proud to be Africans and part of Africa. President Mandela realised this. That is why he reached out to Afrikaners and others who had no other country to return to. In contrast to this, branding these people as the enemy is a recipe for further division and polarisation. Where we try to resolve conflicts of the past, this only lays the foundation for the next conflict. I simply ask for the right to be myself in South Africa – without favour, privilege or prejudice. If this is not possible or allowed, then we are in trouble and still have a lot of work to do. Prof Doehring, of the Max Plank Institute in Germany, summarised their research on this topic as follows: “It is clear that the nations and peoples of Europe do not mind becoming part of the greater European fruit salad, as long as everyone is allowed to retain their identities as if a banana or orange in the fruit salad.”

Lost driver's license Your license contains a photo of you, as well as your name, address, age, and other personal details. In our day-to-day lives, a driver's license does much more than grant us the legal right to operate a motor vehicle—it's a cornerstone of identity verification. The driver's license is our standard passkey to validate who we are, from banking transactions to airport security checks. However, this ubiquity also makes it a prime target for identity thieves. Understanding how criminals exploit this essential ID and knowing the steps to protect it is crucial in the fight against fraud. How Criminals Get Your Driver’s License Your driver's license is a treasure trove of personal information. It goes beyond just your name and address; it's an official document with government authority. If someone looks even slightly like you, that photo ID can offer them a convincing disguise. Thieves have several tactics at their disposal: - Physical Theft: Simple yet effective, this method includes stealing actual licenses from wallets, purses, or mailboxes. - Online Scams: Duping individuals into uploading their license images under the guise of fake grants or loans applications. - Hacking: Sophisticated cyber-attacks on government and corporate databases to extract driver's license data en masse. Why Criminals Want Your Driver’s License Once in possession of a driver's license, a criminal can weave a web of fraud. They might purchase or lease vehicles, secure loans, obtain insurance, or even impersonate you in legal situations—all of which can have dire financial and legal repercussions for the true license holder. Armed with your driver's license, an identity thief has multiple paths to exploit: - Opening New Lines of Credit: A fraudster can combine your license details with other stolen data to open credit cards or take out loans in your name. - Creating Convincing Fakes: Today's fake IDs are sophisticated enough to pass scanners, allowing scammers to roam freely under your identity. - Renting Vehicles and Properties: Imagine being held liable for a rented property or vehicle you never signed for, leading to legal and financial nightmares. - Utility Fraud: Your stolen license could be the key to someone else's electricity, gas, or internet service, all billed to you. - Criminal Identity Theft: This particularly insidious form of fraud can leave you unaware of legal obligations assigned to your name. A scammer, upon any legal encounter, can impersonate you using your driver's license, essentially attributing their offenses—from unpaid fines to court summons—directly to you. The ramifications can be severe, ranging from a damaged reputation to wrongful arrest warrants. - Medical Identity Theft: With your driver’s license and insurance card, a thief could potentially receive medical treatment on your dime. This type of fraud not only leads to unauthorized use of your health insurance but can also corrupt your medical records with incorrect information about diagnoses, treatments, and medications. The resulting mix-up can have life-threatening implications the next time you require medical attention. Fortifying Your Identity Against License Theft Prevention is your best defense in the ongoing battle against identity theft. Here are proactive steps to keep your driver's license safe: - Be Cautious with Physical ID: Use wallets with clear windows for ID display and never let your license out of sight if removed. - Resist Picture Requests: When asked for a picture of your license, offer alternative proofs of identity or billing information instead. - Guard Your License Number: Never disclose your driver's license number during unsolicited calls or communications. - Quick Action on Theft: If your license is stolen or compromised, report it immediately to establish an official record. - Monitor and React to Breaches: Should your data be involved in a breach, follow the affected agency's guidelines meticulously to secure your identity. What to do when you lose your driver’s license? If you believe that you have lost your driver’s license, there are some important steps that you must take immediately. - Contact the nearest DMV branch to report it. This federal government portal will take you to the state agency’s website. The state might flag your license number in case someone else tries to use it, or they might suggest that you apply for a replacement license. - Contact the police. Call the police’s non-emergency line. This is the first thing you want to do if you believe you have been robbed. Even if you don’t think your license was stolen, it is still a good idea to make a police report. Make sure they notate your license number in their report. You can use that later to change your license number. This will help prevent identity theft if your license is found. Tell the police that you would like to file a report. Not only is there a chance that police might find the thief, but the existence of a police report will also help you contest any fraud committed in your name. - Place a freeze on your credit reports. The information contained on your license could be used by a thief to create a financial account in your name. Seeking a freeze will prevent this from happening, and could protect you from some of the worst consequences of identity theft. - Notify your state DMV. To prevent thieves from using your license as their own, your state may flag the number so police know that it has been stolen. This will alert law enforcement to be extra careful in identifying a person they may have pulled over. - Don’t drive until you get a replacement license. You should get a new license as soon as possible, but you absolutely shouldn’t drive without one. Don’t risk additional violations during this stressful time. - Monitor credit reports. Check your credit report for any accounts that crooks may have opened in your name. Some monitoring services and credit card companies now allow you unlimited access to credit information, so you could theoretically check every day. - Prevent potential check fraud. You also don’t want to have your license number automatically written at the top of your checks because if they were to end up in the wrong hands, it could result in years of check fraud problems. Check fraud is a felony and could lead to a warrant being issued if you are not careful. Like Credit Reporting Agencies, Check Verification Companies keep track of what checks have been written and attributed to your driver’s license. You can get your reports for free from all three agencies. - ChexSystems (800) 428-9623 - Certegy (800) 437-5120 - TeleCheck (800) 366-2425

As so many have requested for ways to show support, please consider joining us in this fundraiser: https://www.givesendgo.com/chriszimmerman With the publishing of the “Letter from the Chairman” on January 8th what has followed has been nothing short of shocking. After much discussion, we felt it would be wise to post this update to address some concerning assumptions and accusations. - We have been overwhelmed with responses of support and encouragement from so many across our country and worldwide. Prayers, thanks, and more have been shared. We endeavored to answer calls and emails at the beginning before we truly realized the far reaching aspects of this through social media. If we don’t answer your calls or emails at this point, it is not because we do not care: we just can’t keep up with the flow of exponentially increasing numbers of contacts. - This was intended to be a letter to our local membership only. A worldwide viral audience was never in view. Members regularly share their views and this was no different. - Nothing in the letter was original to me. I have no “inside” access to the administration so what was posted was simply a summary of things that are readily available for any willing to do the research which was then provided to the membership for their consideration. As chairman, I have no way to force anyone (nor would I want it) to think in any particular way. - Nye county has always been Trump country so we don’t see it as out of the ordinary to believe our president when he says he will never give up. We have had four years of incredible growth in the economy, advances in freedoms, and more under the Trump presidency so we find it difficult to believe that the media’s portrayal of him now to be accurate. - Lin Wood, cited in the letter as a source, called out Pence for treason many days before this letter was published, among many others. - There was nothing in the letter that included, implied, or supported anything seditious. In fact, as we fielded calls with questions we recommended to people to take care of their families, pray for our country, and connect/serve your neighbors (regardless of political positions). We told nobody to rise up or do anything other than these. We encourage community involvement. We would ask the reader to discern, based on the above clarifications, if the letter published is actually any problem at all. Given the widespread closing of accounts in social media, including the unprecedented action of closing the president’s account, we would hold that this letter simply exercises our first amendment right to express a summary of thoughts so our membership could be prepared. If the reader thinks for a moment, when a storm is approaching with the possibility of tornadoes, alerts are given with steps to prepare even if no tornado appears. Is this any different? In closing, the letter referenced 1776: the year the Declaration of Independence was signed with the following words included: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” Surely, grandfathers told their grandchildren about the unusual events they saw and lived through. We are in unusual days now and so we will be telling our grandchildren about them as well. To the reader we make this request: understand that you, your family, or your neighbor may be feeling hitherto unknown levels of stress in these strange times. Let them know you care, let them know you want to help, and try to uplift spirits that may feel crushed. They may disagree with you but that has never stopped America from serving them truly from the heart. May God bless America and our president. - Expect the emergency broadcast system to be activated. The FCC just recently released a memorandum speaking to the requirements under Federal law to send messages from the president to the public. See this link - Expect confusion. We are in a battle for our republic against elites that are attempting the very coup that they are accusing Trump of doing. In battle, there will be disinformation but know that plans are being fulfilled. - Expect high profile arrests to take place over the next 12 days and at any time. You may wake one morning to find someone in high office is no longer there. - Expect this to be a bumpy ride to the very end. This is not a television show where things are resolved in 45 minutes. - Expect more bombshell evidence to be released between now and Jan. 20th. - Expect some sort of internet blackout or outage: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Gmail are likely going to be affected. If you don’t have alternate forms of communication established now, it would be a good idea to start forming them even if it’s just checking on your nextdoor neighbors. - Expect Trump to be inaugurated on Jan 20th! - Expect the executive order from 2018 and/or the Insurrection Act to be enacted. This DOES NOT mean martial law. Remember that we have been under a state of emergency since 2018 which gives the president many powers to act. When in the midst of trials and tribulations we do well to take a moment to reflect back to our foundations. This is no less true of our very American tradition of Thanksgiving Day. While this day has normally been associated with turkey, family, football and shopping, it is by reflecting on the true history that we can then remember the true purpose and thereby not only cast aside any lingering fears from events around us but also stir up hope and joy in ourselves and those with us. The history of Thanksgiving Day extends well beyond George Washington or the Pilgrims in Plymouth colony. It is thoroughly Biblical in origin and comes directly from the Feast of Ingathering seen in Numbers 29:12-40. In brief, this festival was a celebration of the harvest and bounty God had provided but with elements often missed by the casual reader. Yes, basic to this festival was this harvest celebration but it also had elements requiring the participants to remember where they came from and how God had protected and provided for them to the present day. Also critical in this celebration was a ceremony in the temple (during the time of Christ) where there was an outpouring of water, symbolic of the pouring out of the Holy Spirit, followed by the blowing of silver trumpets at dawn which called the people to the gate known as Beautiful, which opened to the court of the Gentiles all the while with their backs to the rising sun (toward the temple instead). This symbolized the turning away from paganism (sun worship) to the worship of God and His outpouring of the Holy Spirit to the nations of the earth for the Great Harvest of the nations. So, this celebration was both looking to the past, the present, and decidedly to the future all at once. With this very brief history of the day in mind, we can easily see how the Pilgrims self consciously applied this festival to the very first Thanksgiving in the year after their arrival. Remember that the very purpose they came to the New World was to build a “city on a hill” for all the world to see. There is no mistake that they sought to apply the Bible to their new colony very clearly and very profoundly. Only revisionist historians try to wipe this fact from history by bypassing the first hand sources from the time. One such source, Of Plymouth Plantation by William Bradford, details the first Thanksgiving Day, They begane now to gather in ye small harvest they had, and to fitte up their houses and dwellings against winter, being all well recovered in health & strenght, and had all things in good plenty; For as some were thus imployed in affairs abroad, others were excersised in fishing, aboute codd, & bass, & other fish, of which yey tooke good store, of which every family had their portion. All ye somer ther was no want. And now begane to come in store of foule, as winter approached, of which this place did abound when they came first (but afterward decreased by degrees). And besids water foule, ther was great store of wild Turkies, of which they tooke many, besids venison, &c. Besids, they had about a peck a meale a weeke to a person, or now since harvest, Indean corn to yt proportion. Which made many afterwards write so largly of their plenty hear to their friends in England, which were not fained, but true reports. A few more details are available from Edward Winslow, Our harvest being gotten in, our governour sent foure men on fowling, that so we might after a speciall manner rejoyce together, after we had gathered the fruits of our labours ; they foure in one day killed as much fowle, as with a little helpe beside, served the Company almost a weeke, at which time amongst other Recreations, we exercised our Armes, many of the Indians coming amongst us, and amongst the rest their greatest king Massasoyt, with some ninetie men, whom for three dayes we entertained and feasted, and they went out and killed five Deere, which they brought to the Plantation and bestowed on our Governour, and upon the Captaine and others. And although it be not always so plentifull, as it was at this time with us, yet by the goodness of God, we are so farre from want, that we often wish you partakers of our plentie. Now, please remember the context of this group: they had MANY difficulties securing passage to the new world where nothing existed for infrastructure: no houses, no business, nothing. They had a long, arduous journey across the ocean only to land in the wrong place and where more than 50% of the population died the first winter. How many of us today would have the resolve to face these fears, these conditions, and these trials and still offer up thanks to the Triune God like this? Again, William Bradford, May not and ought not the children of these fathers rightly say: “Our fathers were Englishmen which came over this great ocean, and were ready to perish in this wilderness; but they cried unto the Lord, and he heard their voice, and looked on their adversity, etc.” Let them therefore praise the Lord, because he is good, and his mercies endure forever. Yea, let them which have been redeemed of the Lord, show how he hath delivered them from the hand of the oppressor. When they wandered in the desert wilderness out of the way, and found no city to dwell in, both hungry, and thirsty, their soul was overwhelmed in them. Let them confess before the Lord his loving kindness, and his wonderful works before the sons of men. It was George Washington who carried this tradition forward officially in his Thanksgiving declaration of 1789, Whereas it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor; and Whereas both Houses of Congress have, by their joint committee, requested me to “recommend to the people of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer, to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many and signal favors of Almighty God, especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness:” Now, therefore, I do recommend and assign Thursday, the 26th day of November next to be devoted by the people of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being who is the beneficent author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be; that we may then all unite in rendering unto Him our sincere and humble thanks for His kind care and protection of the people of this country previous to their becoming a nation; for the signal and manifold mercies and the favorable interpositions of His providence in the course and conclusion of the late war; for the great degree of tranquility, union, and plenty which we have since enjoyed; for the peaceable and rational manner in which we have been enable to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national one now lately instituted for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed, and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and, in general, for all the great and various favors which He has been pleased to confer upon us. And also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech Him to pardon our national and other transgressions; to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually; to render our National Government a blessing to all the people by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed; to protect and guide all sovereigns and nations (especially such as have shown kindness to us), and to bless them with good governments, peace, and concord; to promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the increase of science among them and us; and, generally to grant unto all mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as He alone knows to be best. Given under my hand, at the city of New York, the 3d day of October, A.D. 1789. Again: adversity and deliverance are noted by Washington. At no point are we promised an easy life. To the degree that we are faithful it will be blessed but that does not mean a life free of trials and tribulations. I think all of us can certainly attest to the providences of God in our lives, both in good times and bad. With all this in mind, we now face the question: what should we be thankful for? The easy answer is, of course, everything and we could speak only in generalities but would that suffice? With all that we have faced in 2020, we certainly have not met the same trials our forefathers met in Plymouth nor have we faced war in our front lawns like Washington. Indeed, even in the midst of the tyranny we see today none of us can say that we are truly suffering as our forebears. I am calling on us all to get very specific with our lifting up of thanks. By doing so, we will reflect truly thought filled, thankful hearts to God and we will stir up a remembrance of all He has done for us which will lift up our hearts and minds. I would like to begin by expressing my thankfulness for the membership of the NCRCC. From before my election as chairman and certainly afterwards, I have seen a membership rise to occasion after occasion to serve this community. That took the form of rallies (which continue!), phone calls before and after election day, door knocking, BBQ’s, viewing parties, committee work for voters, and supporting my family and I as we sought to serve the NCRCC. I am also thankful for the increased awareness of our organization in Nye county which our growing membership records reflect. While there will be disagreements among us, we can all be thankful for a “seat at the table” to express our views and contribute to solutions for the problems of our day. I am likewise thankful for the increased presence and participation of our elected officials among us. We have a mutual need for each other in the days ahead. Beyond the NCRCC, I am also thankful for this community and county in which we live. Please take a moment this Thanksgiving to step outside and just take in the breathtaking beauty of our valley in Pahrump or the more mountainous areas in the northern areas of Nye. Even more so, I am thankful for a county that is decidedly Red and could not be more of a contrast from our neighboring, more populous county to our east. I am thankful for how we, as neighbors, seek to help each other when in need despite the distance between us from north to south. Regarding our current events, I am thankful that God, in His providence, put Donald J. Trump at the helm of this nation at precisely the time needed to fight against the fraud in our elections. Rather than simply winning the election (which he has and which will be recognized soon), he is fighting to expose the entirety of the election fraud to ensure that our elections are secure going forward. Few in the history of our nation have exhibited the level of intelligence and resolve that our current president has demonstrated. But even beyond this, I am also thankful for the victories we have experienced in 2020 from a surging economy despite COVID efforts to the most recent court battles recognizing the Constitutional arguments being brought forth against the blatant theft of our election. So much more could be added here but I have gone long already. I will also express my undying love and gratitude to God for the wife of my youth, my bride of 25 years for her tireless efforts in supporting me and our family. I am the man I am because of her. I praise God for my children and new grandson (born this year) as well as the continued success of gainful employment throughout these crazy months. Truly, were each of us to reflect on the blessing of God in 2020 we would suddenly see that those blessings outweigh and overtake the challenges we have faced. So, as you sit before that turkey this year and say grace, take some time with those you are with to share the blessings together. May the Lord richly bless each of you this Thanksgiving Day. We are back in the office and our TRUMP inventory is all stocked up! We will be limiting the number of people in the office at a time as well as practicing social distancing. Orders can also be placed on-line and picked up!

I am not Afraid – Saya Tidak Takut Psalm 46:3 NKJV “Though its waters roar and be troubled, Though the mountains shake with its swelling. Selah There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God, The holy place of the tabernacle of the Most High. God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved; God shall help her, just at the break of dawn.” Today’s Miracle Day was brought by God’s servants in the Marketplace from various industries and professions, Teddy Menas (The Production House Photo & Video), Hana Atmawati (The Printer Manufacture), Oktavia Shiu (Entrepreneur), Daniel Kristanto (Entrepreneur) and Sulistyo Rini (The Property Company). God is a Good Shepherd Teddy Menas delivered the Word of Word from Psalm 23:1-4 NKJV “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.” God gives us a guarantee and protection as good shepherd if we are close to Him. We are not free from problems, especially on days like this, we face problems at work, at home, or problems in our business that keep us at a crossroad. So, we make our own plans for our lives. However, we don’t get ways out, but we experience failure. God is the good shepherd who guides us on the right path, not the path of failure. Not Being Afraid, But Becoming a Conqueror Even though we are facing a very difficult life right now, if God is the shepherd, then we will not be afraid because God guarantees our salvation, needs, and even our future. The key to a blessed life is when we seek God and make Him above all else (Matthew 6:33). Involving God in our lives will give us courage. We will not be afraid of all the situations we experience. The promise of God’s Word is that with Jesus, we can certainly face all the obstacles that come our way. There are new solutions and new strength in our lives, even we will be more than conquerors if we are in God. As a good shepherd, Jesus will not leave us, but He will fight for us even to the point of giving His life for us. Hana Atmawati delivered the Word of God from John 3:16, then invited the congregations to accept Jesus Christ their Lord and Savior and surrender their lives to God. Do you want to be made well? Oktavia Shiu continued preaching the Word of God from John 5: 1-9 about Healing on the Sabbath at the pool of Bethesda. In Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate there is a pool, called Bethesda in Hebrew. In the pool there was a porch where there were a large number of sick people waiting for the shaking of the pool water. For when the angel of the Lord came down and shook the waters of the pool; whoever stepped into it first will be cured regardless of the disease. In the pool there was a man who had been sick for thirty-eight years. This person was sick and had no family or relatives. The waiting in faith and belief brought Jesus to come to him and say, “Do you want to be made well?” and Jesus performed miracles on a man who was sick for thirty eight years. Likewise with our lives, if we continue to wait in our faith that God is able to perform miracles, then God will work His miracles on our lives. Daniel Kristanto then lead the prayer and encouraged the congregation to believe in God and that Jesus is able to heal all illnesses and help us in accordance with God’s Word from Isaiah 53: 5. During this live broadcast, we received several prayer requests to our Contact Center and many came to the Lord Jesus and experienced healing. Before the service was closed, Sulistyo Rini asked the congregation to intercede for the nation (Jeremiah 29: 7). The intercessory prayer was led by Hana Atmawati and Daniel Kristanto. The service was closed by inviting all congregation to be a blessing in their offices and comply with government regulations in an effort to break the chain of this pandemic. All Praise and Glory go to Jesus Christ who has blessed many lives today. Amen.

When babies are ready to start crawling, one of the first concerns for most parents and caregivers is carpet burns on those delicate little knees, and how to prevent these burns from happening. If your precious little one does have red and irritated knees from crawling, below is a super helpful article on how to treat and heal a carpet burn, which we found on www.wikihow.com. "1. Wash your hands before treating the carpet burn. The burn has damaged the skin, which is the body's first line of defense. Carpet burns and abrasions can become infected if bacteria gets inside them. If the wound does get infected, then 2. Clean the burned area. Wash it gently with a clean washcloth using warm water and antibacterial soap. Be sure to remove any visible dirt or debris. This helps to prevent any infection. 3. Disinfect the wound. You need to disinfect the wound to guard against infection. Use iodine, hydrogen peroxide, or an antiseptic if there are signs of dirt in the abrasion, or if any bleeding areas are deep. Soak a cotton ball in iodine, peroxide, or antiseptic and carefully dab it on the burn. All of these products may cause some pain when you apply them. Alcohol can inflict pain and cause harm, so avoid using it. 4. Apply an antibacterial cream to the injured area. Smear some Neosporin or other ointment on the carpet burn. Check the burn for any deeper damage, like cuts or lacerations. These might need medical attention if they are serious. 5. Cover the burn with gauze or an adhesive bandage. Cover the area loosely with a bandage. Remove the bandage and check the burn in 24 hours. If the surface of the skin has started to scab or form a crust, the burn will heal best if left uncovered and exposed to the air. Put a fresh bandage back on for another 24 hours if the skin is still red and raw and crusting has not started yet. Healing the Burn 1. Run cold water over it. If the burn is hot and painful, try running some cool water over the injured area. Try running cool water over the carpet burn for five to 10 minutes every hour or two Don't wear clothing over the burn. Fabrics can irritate the burn. If you have to wear clothes over the burn, cover it with gauze or a bandage first. 2. Don't wear clothing over the burn. Fabrics can irritate the burn. If you have to wear clothes over the burn, cover it with gauze or a bandage first. 3. Keep the area dry. Try to keep the burn free from moisture. Moisture encourages bacteria to breed. Dry the skin with a cotton ball if it becomes wet. If the rug burn is oozing, don't wipe it away and further irritate the burn. Instead, remove the gauze or bandage and allow the wound to air dry. If the burn is oozing pus or blood, see a doctor immediately. 4. Cover the carpet burn in aloe. Apply some aloe onto the burn to help speed up the healing process. Aloe comes in many forms: spray, gel, liquid, lotion, and cream. You can also get aloe directly from the plant, which is the strongest form. Just cut off a small portion and squeeze the inside gel onto the burn. 5. Try honey. Spread some honey over the carpet burn. This can provide relief from itching and help speed up healing. 6. Make a paste from marigold flowers and parsley leaves. Crush some marigold flowers and parsley leaves and mix them together to make a paste. Spread the paste over the wound to help heal the burn. 7. Make a turmeric paste. Turmeric has been proven to stimulate skin regeneration and clean wounds. Mixing 1/4 of a teaspoon (1 ml) of turmeric powder with one teaspoon (5 ml) of cocoa butter. Apply the paste to the area three times a day. 8. Use essential oils. Different essential oils can help the healing process. Lavender is known to help healing with its regenerative and antiseptic properties. It can also help relieve the pain. Thyme also has regenerative and antiseptic properties. Apply two to three drops of essential oil to gauze and press it to the burn. Change the gauze two to three times a day. You can also clean the wound with five or six drops of essential oil diluted in a cup of water. 9. Avoid lotions, oils, and powders. Some products can cause further harm to the carpet burn. You should avoid lotions, powders, oils, sunscreen, and alcohol on the carpet burn. 10. Watch the burn for signs of infection. If you develop any signs of infection, or the wound doesn't heal, see your doctor. Signs include increased redness and tenderness, pus seeping from the wound, a red rash developing that spreads up from the wound, tenderness in the armpits or groin, or fever."

# Are wet and dry ingredients measured the same? ## Are wet and dry ingredients measured the same? People often ask us if they really need separate measuring cups for wet and dry ingredients. If you are serious about baking, the answer is yes! While liquid and dry measuring cups do hold the same volume, the difference is that each is specially designed to do a better job of measuring its respective ingredients. ## Are measuring cups the same for liquids and dry? Technically, liquid and dry measuring cups hold the same volume, but they are specially designed to more accurately measure their respective ingredients. Dry measures larger than 1 cup are rare, unlike liquid measuring cups, which are commonly found in sets that measure up to 8 cups. Can I use a liquid measuring cup for dry ingredients? Can you use a liquid measuring cup to measure dry ingredients? Technically, yes. They both measure the same amount of volume. 1 cup in a dry measuring cup is the same as 1 cup in a liquid measuring cup. How do you measure dry and liquid ingredients? How to Measure Dry Ingredients 1. Step 1: Get Your Tools Ready. Get some dry measuring cups and measuring spoons. 2. Step 2: Measuring by Volume. 3. Step 3: Measuring Spoons. 4. Step 4: Measuring Brown Sugar. 5. Step 5: Measure by Weight. 6. Step 6: Zero Out the Scale. 7. Step 7: Select Grams or Ounces. 8. Step 8: You’ve Mastered Measuring. ### Is one cup of water the same as one cup of flour? 1 cup of water weighs 236 grams. 1 cup of flour weighs 125 grams. The volume is the same, but the weight is different (remember: lead and feathers). One other benefit to using metric measurements is accuracy: scales often only show ounces to the quarter or eighth of an ounce, so 4 1/4 ounces or 10 1/8 ounces. ### What is the best method to measure wet ingredients? Using a Cup for Thin Liquids. Start with a liquid measuring cup. Liquid measuring cups are the most accurate way to measure thin liquids, like water, milk, juice, and oils. They are made of transparent glass or plastic, and have markings on the sides to indicate volume in both metric and English units. Which is the first procedure in measuring dry ingredients? Use the dip and sweep method. The most common way to measure dry ingredients by volume is to dip your measuring cup into the dry ingredient so that the cup is overflowing. Take the back of a knife or a flat spoon handle and sweep the excess across and off of the measuring cup. What is the best liquid measuring cup? The Best Liquid Measuring Cup: Pyrex. In the end, the Pyrex 1 Cup Measuring Cup was our favorite once again. In addition to being accurate, the measurement markings were bold and easy to read. ## What are the 4 sizes of dry measuring cups? There are four (4) standards for dry measuring cup sizes and the standards are; 1 cup, ½ cup, 1/3, and ¼ cup. These 4 dry measuring cup sizes can measure any dry ingredient recipe. ## What is the function of a dry measuring cup? Unlike the liquid measuring cup, a dry measuring cup is used to measure the volume of solid ingredients. It has a flat rim that is used to get accurate measurements. What are measuring cup measurements? Measuring cups usually have capacities from 250 mL (approx. 1 cup) to 1000 mL (approx. 4 cups = 2 pints = 1 quart), though larger sizes are also available for commercial use.
