  • Data Tables for Physician Certification Pattern Review 2021 Annual Report
    Board of Medicine and Board of Osteopathic Medicine Data Tables Physician Certification Pattern Review 2021 Annual Report Under section 381.986(4)(j), Florida Statutes, “The Board of Medicine and the Board of Osteopathic Medicine shall jointly create a physician certification pattern review panel that shall review all physician certifications submitted to the medical marijuana use registry. The panel shall track and report the number of physician certifications and the qualifying medical conditions, dosage, supply amount, and form of marijuana certified. The panel shall report the data both by individual qualified physician and in the aggregate, by county, and statewide.” The Physician Certification Pattern Review Panel (Panel) is responsible for reporting its findings and recommendations by January 1 of each year to the Governor, the President of the Senate, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives. Physician Certification Pattern Review Panel Chair and Vice Chair Sandra Schwemmer, D.O., Chair Andre Perez, Consumer Member, Vice Chair Members Shailesh Gupta, M.D. Jorge J. Lopez, M.D. Michelle Mendez, D.O. Luz Pages, M.D. Joel B. Rose, D.O. Data Notes 1. New physician certification information is accessed every two weeks during the report period from the Medical Marijuana Use Registry (MMUR). 2. Physician licensure information (addresses physicians provide in the Practitioner Profile) comes from the Division of Medical Quality Assurance (MQA) licensure database and was accessed on October 1, 2020. 3. Datasets are accessed from live databases, reflecting the information at that moment, and therefore are subject to change. For example, physicians may change their primary practice locations at any time, which may change the county of their address.

  • SYNCRETISTIC and CONFESSIONAL FEATIJRES in MESOPOTAMIAN INCANTATION BOWLS Ln 1973 an Aramaic Incantion Bowl Was Purchased by a Finn in Borsippa (Birs Nimrud) in Lraq
    TAPANI HARVIAINEN SYNCRETISTIC AND CONFESSIONAL FEATIJRES IN MESOPOTAMIAN INCANTATION BOWLS ln 1973 an Aramaic incantion bowl was purchased by a Finn in Borsippa (Birs Nimrud) in lraq. The seller was a local boy who obviously had private excavations as his hobby. The bowl was broken into two bigger and three smaller pieces, but since all the pieces were preserved, the new possessor was able to glue the bowl together. Seven years later, still curious to know what was written in the bowl, he contacted the Finnish National Museum. A couple of years earlier I had published a Syriac incanta- tion bowl (Studía Orientalia 5l;1, 1978/81)l which, as a gift of the Iraqi Govern- ment to President Urho Kekkonen, was treasured in the same Museum. As a con- sequence, the owner of the bowl obtained my telephone number from the Museum and called me at home. The bowl text was published by rne in Stud¡a Orientalia 5l:14 in l98l under the title "An Aramaic incantation bowl from Borsippa. Another specimen of Eastern Aramaic 'koiné'". The article includes an appendix called "A cryptographic bowl text or an original fake?"; the cryptic bowl dealt with in the appendix was presented by the Iraqi Government to His Majesty Carl XVI Gustaf, the King of Sweden. It seems that the magic bowls have been in fashion as gifts. The Aramaic Borsippa bowl is inscribed with ink in Hebrew square characters. Bowls with Hebrew suipt are traditionally called Jewish incantation bowls. J¡tnas Greet{ield anð Joseph Naveå published a Mandaic lead amulet in the periodical series ðrøtz-lsrae! in 1985.2 In the beginning of the article "Qami'man- da'i ba'al arba'ha5ba'ot" ('An Mandaic amulet with four incantations') they state solely: "ha-qami' nimça'be-mahoz þuzistan be-ma'arab paras we-gullam 5am" ('the amulet was found in the province of Khuzestan in Western Iran and photographed there'), The lapidary style is insinuating: this amulet was obviously also found by a devotee of private archaeology.

Ishmael ascends to heaven to behold the vision of the Merkaba and is given in charge to Metatron : AND ENOCH WALKED WITH GOD AND HE WAS NOT ; FOR GOD TOOK HIM (Gen. v. 24) Rabbi Ishmael said : x (i) When I ascended on high to behold the vision of the Merkaba^ and had entered the six Halls, one within the other: (2) as soon as I reached the door of the seventh Hall I stood still in prayer before the Holy One, blessed be He, and, lifting up my eyes on high (i.e. " towards the Divine Majesty), I said : (3) Lord of the Universe, I pray i-i so DE. A: 'in my vision the Merkaba' Chh. i and ii. (Additional, see Introduction, section 7.) Chh. i and ii; which are not extant in BCL, form an introduction to the book, supplying the explanation of the frame of chh. iii-xlviii A, purporting to be revelations and communications given to R. Ishmael by Metatron-Enoch. By the present introductory chapters is indicated that the occasion of these revelations was Rabbi IshmaePs ascent to behold the vision of the Merkaba (the Divine Chariot). R. Ishmael's ascension to heaven and intercourse with Metatron, or the Prince of the Presence, forms an intrinsic part of the Legend of the Ten Martyrs, including the so-called Apocalyptic Fragment (BH. v. 167-169, vi. 19-35; Siddur R.
