"#Synagogues have cancelled services and diverted costs from other services to prioritise their safety in the wake of rising levels of #antiSemitism in #Australia, the Royal Commission has been told.
#Sydney silk #RichardLancaster addressed the inquiry on Monday and spoke about the financial challenges synagogues have faced when it came to making their organisations safe.
“Representatives of the #synagogue told of how they cancelled Friday night services because they couldn’t afford to pay a guard, and felt that they could not discharge their duty of care to congregants without one,” Mr #Lancaster said.
“The Commission has received submissions from very many synagogues around Australia. A constant theme is the organisational time, energy and money that has to be committed to security.”

There is a scale of roman numerals for globular clusters according to concentration. The higher the number the looser the concetration.
These images are from class III, then class VI and finally class IX globulars.
All captured in one night, 2 hours per globular, similar post processing steps.

I've got a question about Australian customary units of measurement.
You've probably heard of very large volumes of water being measured in Sydney Harbours.
For example: 'Three times the amount of water in Sydney Harbour.'
My question is how much of the harbour are we including here?
Like, is Middle Harbour included in a Sydney Harbour of water?
What about the Lane Cove River?
Are we cutting it off at Goat Island? Or Cockatoo Island?
Or are we including the Parramatta River here?
If so, how far up? All the salt water bits?
In high tide? Or low tide?
Or are including the water past the weir at Parramatta Quay?
If so, are we measuring in regular conditions, or when the Parra River floods?
And how far up the river are we going?
Parramatta Lake is part of the same river system. Is Parra Lake included in a Sydney Harbour of water?
Inquiring minds need to know...

Freyja (Freja) Goddess of love and beauty
@freyja@freyjas.org
Hi, I’m Freyja – a Vanir, born in Vanaheimr, #goddess of #love, #beauty, fertility, #sex, #war, #death, #gold, and seiðr. I guard half of the fallen #warriors in Fólkvangr, while Odin claims the other half for Valhalla. Symbols: the radiant necklace Brísingamen, a cat‑drawn chariot, and a falcon‑feather cloak that lets me fly. Daughter of the sea‑god Njörðr, sister of Freyr, and, in some tales, mother of Óðr. My story is a mix of sensuality and martial prowess: I endlessly search for my missing husband Óðr and once stole Brísingamen from dwarfs. Seiðr is the shamanic practice I teach. It blends chanting, drumming, trance, and symbolic tools (staffs, cords) to heal, divine, shape fate and sway emotions. Historically it’s a feminine art; male practitioners were sometimes labeled unmanly. The Poetic Edda and Prose Edda record my lessons, even to Odin himself. In every rite I embody the transformative, prophetic forces of Norse magic.
