The Gemorah states that when Rav Yosef heard his mother’s footsteps he would rise because the Shechinah (his mother) was coming. From this story the poskim maintain that one is obligated to stand up for a parent.

Schoolchildren should stand up when headteachers enter the room in a return to traditional discipline, the chief inspector of schools said.
Sir Michael Wilshaw said he was dismayed by behaviour in some schools and called for 'grammar school ethos' in every comprehensive.
He said pupils should call their teachers 'Sir' or 'Miss' and teachers should stop referring to youngsters as their 'mate'.
...His call for pupils to stand echoes remarks made by David Cameron in 2012 when he praised schools with traditional discipline, including where 'children stand up when their parents or teacher walks in the room...

The family of Etzbon
| Parshas Pinchas: Hear no evil |
| בְּנֵי גָד, לְמִשְׁפְּחֹתָם
לְאָזְנִי, מִשְׁפַּחַת הָאָזְנִי
"The children of Gad were... for Azni the family of Azni"
Rashi tells us that this was the family of Etzbon. Chasma Sofer quotes the Shlah who explains what the connection is between Azni and Etzbon. Chazal tell us that a person is created with fingers in order to place them in his ears so that he should not hear "Diburim Asurim" - words which he is prohibited to hear. Therefore says the Shlah, since the whole purpose of a finger is so that one should place it in his ear , we can understand why the family Azni (ear) can be called Etzbon (a finger).http://revach.net/parshas-hashavua/quick-vort/Parshas-Pinchas-Hear-no-evil/2473 |

Words and meanings
One click led to another and another this morning and I found myself reading an article about Rabbi Amram Vaknin.
When I started to peruse the comments under the article, I found them to be from a Christian perspective. I found a video on YouTube of the rabbi calling for teshuva and realized the dangers of incorrect translation of the Rabbi's words.
For instance, Rabbi Vaknin spoke about people having problems with making a living because they are focused on luxuries. The translation in the video reads. "People are having problems with income because they are focused on the Lexus...."
Incidentally, the person responsible for the translation can also change "recieved" to "received" - Do you remember the "i" before "e" except after "c" spelling rule?
Another video on YouTube has the caption that Rav Kanievsky promises that Mashiach is coming at the end of the Shemita cycle. Someone posted a comment under the video requesting that the caption be corrected. The person wrote that the Rav didn't issue a promise but rather quoted from the Gemara " מוצאי שביעית בן דוד בא"
בבלי סנהדרין דף צז
An article in the Daily Mail introduced me to a new word - Hikikomori.
A comment posted under the article reads, "It's "hikikomori". Please do better research and proofread your work."
As of now, the article contains the spelling, "Hikikomori" as well as "Hikikiomori."
Speaking of words, I had nothing better to do than peruse the U.S. Constitution to read about the requirements of running for office.
Article I Section II.
.
No Person shall be a Representative who shall not have attained to the Age of twenty five Years, and been seven Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State in which he shall be chosen.
Article I Section III.
No Person shall be a Senator who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty Years, and been nine Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State for which he shall be chosen.
Article II Section I.
The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. He shall hold his Office during the Term of four Years, and, together with the Vice President, chosen for the same Term, be elected, as follows.
Would someone explain to me how women can run for office if the pronoun "he" is used? Or can a "he" become a "she" nowadays?

Hillary Claimed During Interview She Wasn’t Subpoenaed, Trey Gowdy Releases Copy Of Subpoena…
The newspaper which is associated with the line, "all the news that's fit to print" has an article titled Hillary Clinton and House Republican Clash Over a Subpoena.
Based upon the screenshots captured below which include a sentence that ends with "and that mis" as well as a paragraph which spells the word "subpoena" as "subpeona" I might coin a new motto such as "all the news that is fit to be truncated and misspelled."

Officials push polling from fringe left-wing J Street organization

Charles Krauthammer writes about the Iran nuclear deal.
Inspections. They were to be anywhere, anytime, unimpeded. Now? Total cave. Unfettered access has become “managed access.” Inspectors will have to negotiate and receive Iranian approval for inspections. Which allows them denial and/or crucial delay for concealing clandestine activities. http://israel-commentary.org/?p=11529
The J Street org site points to a video regarding the facts of the Iran nuclear deal. It talks about the most intrusive inspections regime in history 24/7/365 monitoring.
Glad that J Street has got the facts right and I don't have to worry about that article in Al Jazeera titled Iran rejects military site inspections in nuclear deal.
FreeBeacon also reports, "Newly obtained documents from the conservative educational foundation Judicial Watch detail an official memo from October 2010 of a meeting between Lois Lerner and officials at the Department of Justice and the FBI to plan for the prosecution of targeted nonprofit organizations."
