Congress Opens the Door to Self-Driving Cars Self-driving cars are drawing much buzz on Capitol Hill this week and the message this Congress is sending spells good news for the rapidly developing world of autonomous cars. In a subcommittee hearing yesterday, Republican leaders announced that the House of Representatives plans to pass several bills in 2017 focused on self-driving cars. They also plan to collaborate with their Senate colleagues, who have bipartisan legislation going on a similar track as well. At the hearing, the panel reportedly discussed state laws for driverless cars, cybersecurity risks, and the life-saving potential of driverless technology. In the past, Congress had considered self-driving cars in the abstract, but with tests underway in a handful of states, Congress is racing to get up to speed on how public policy can strike the balance of allowing for innovation while ensuring safety. Morning Consult reports: "Throughout the year, the committee will work with our colleagues in the Senate, industry leaders, and safety advocates to advance a number of bills that will prioritize safety and build consumer confidence in self-driving cars," Rep. Bob Latta, head of the Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Digital Commerce and Consumer Protection, said in an emailed statement to Morning Consult following a panel hearing on the deployment of autonomous vehicles. Anders Karrberg, vice president of government affairs at Volvo Car Group who testified at today's hearing, told the subcommittee "the patchwork of state regulations is a concern" for the rollout of driverless cars in the United States. Across the Capitol, the Senate is also getting busy on self-driving cars. In advance of the hearing, two senators announced they're working together on a bipartisan plan to develop regulatory flexibility for the auto industry to create self-driving vehicles. In a joint statement, Democratic Senator Gary Peters of Michigan and Republican Senator John Thune of South Dakota pushed Congress to rewrite policies that maintain safety, but allow room for self-driving technology to reach its "full potential." The Detroit Free Press captured their statement: "More than any other automotive technology in history, self-driving vehicles have the potential to dramatically reduce the more than 35,000 lives lost on our roads and highways every year and fundamentally transform the way we get around" … "Many current federal vehicle safety standards reference placement of driver controls and other systems that assume a human operator. While these requirements make sense in today's conventional vehicles, they could inhibit innovation or create hazards for self-driving vehicles," they said. "Left on its own, the slow pace of regulation could become a significant obstacle to the development of new and safer vehicle technology." There is no overarching federal policy governing self-diving cars, although the Transportation Department released voluntary guidelines last year. States are starting to develop their own rules. Whether there should be federal policy versus allowing for a patchwork of regulations is a good debate to have. Driverless cars may require a balanced approach. One challenge though is ensuring that regulations currently governing automobiles don't become a roadblock for autonomous vehicles. Automakers pressed Congress to relax rules that currently apply to human-operated vehicles, but don't make sense for self-driving cars. For example, under current standards cars must have a wheel and floor pedals, but those aren't needed in self-driving cars. Carmakers can apply for an exemption from that standard, but federal officials can only grant 2,500 per year, which could be reached quickly as companies seek to test and develop the vehicles. Automakers and tech companies made those arguments at yesterday's hearing. The signals are clear. Self-driving cars appear inevitable. The question that remains is whether Washington and state capitol will be a partner to innovation or stand in the way of it.

Q: Distance calculation on map causing NumberFormatException On some mobile devices, calculating distance on map is causing NumberFormatException. Any way how to fix it other than try catch and not show it? I got NumberFormatException right from SphericalUtil.computeDistanceBetween function so I cant even convert it to String instantly. It will just crash the app as soon as that function returns value because it suppose to be Double but its some weird Double with comma instead of dot fun updateDistance(){ val loc = activity.currentLocation?.let { ll-> item.center.distanceTo(ll) }?.round(2) App.log("updateDistance: $loc") val formatted = loc?.let { if (loc < 1000) "$loc m" else "${(loc/1000).round(2)} km" } distanceTxt.text = formatted?: "" } fun LatLng.distanceTo(loc: LatLng) = SphericalUtil.computeDistanceBetween(this, loc) Result: updateDistance: 189332.39 (My phone - working great) updateDistance: 189332,39 (Other phones - causing NumberFormatException) Update: Issue is not with GoogleMaps function but Kotlin had to update something in their round function for Doubles. Because Kotlin function made to round doubles is causing it. fun Double.round(decimals: Int = 2): Double = String.format("%.${decimals}f", this).toDouble() This is causing exception for some reason. (Worked perfectly fine before). Even if I make adjustment to have dot instead of comma in my Double variable. I recently updated Kotlin version because of Gradle so there can be some bug on their end with format function. A: You can use replace function for the result. Can you try this once. fun updateDistance(){ var doubleValue = 0.0 val loc = activity.currentLocation?.let { ll-> item.center.distanceTo(ll) }?.round(2) doubleValue = loc.toString().replace(',', '.').toDouble() App.log("updateDistance: $doubleValue") val formatted = doubleValue.let { if (doubleValue.toInt() < 1000) "$doubleValue m" else "${(doubleValue /1000).roundToInt()} km" } distanceTxt.text = formatted?: "" } fun LatLng.distanceTo(loc: LatLng) = SphericalUtil.computeDistanceBetween(this, loc)

Circular Walks Round Conical Hills Myra Robinson Europe, Holidays Walking in an undiscovered volcanic area of northern Italy It's an unlikely sight as you approach the Euganean Hills when driving eastwards across the endlessly flat plain of northern Italy. Suddenly, 17 symmetrical cones appear as if from nowhere and you can tell by their shapes that these were once volcanoes. Even though they're extinct, there is still geothermal activity here. The area is famous for its hot springs and mud cures ("Best mud in Italy," say the locals). Best of all, though, is the sense of a little unspoilt world of time-honored traditional ways in a landscape that is breathtakingly beautiful. You might say that walking in these hills began with Shelley, who wrote his poem Lines written on the Euganean Hills after climbing to the summit of the highest peak, Monte Venda. These days, Italian hikers meet once a year to do the same climb and recite the poem at the top. Imagine English hikers doing the same thing with, say, Dante. Not a chance! There are several walks around the foothills of Monte Venda. One side has sweet chestnut forests where you risk being bombed on autumn walks by the spiky green balls, and have to try to avoid the hundreds of small lizards darting about on the path in the last of the season's sunshine. On the western slopes there's a small pond where there are dragon flies, turtles and a sub-alpine species of newt, which is blue. The whole area is a nature reserve, so all 17 recommended trails are well maintained with notice boards which provide information about local flora and fauna. Given that all the walks are circular and over similar terrain, you might think that they'd be much the same, but you'd be wrong. Each has its own character. Some of the hills have been quarried, for paving the alleyways of Venice: the hard ridged stone has a non-slip quality ideal for a city based on water. The quarry hollows, such as on walk 15, the Ferro di Cavallo (horseshoe walk), create microclimates where plants such as prickly pears flourish. It was on this walk that we came across a magnificent salamander, black with bright yellow spots, in the middle of the wooded path over the railway tunnel. As we stopped to marvel at the view over the vineyards towards Catajo Castle, the salamander lazily crawled away into the undergrowth. Local farmers don't seem to mind that the wild boar living in the hills steal some of their grapes. "It makes the meat sweeter," is the reply as they tap their noses knowingly and look forward with relish to hunting at the week end. From walk 10, the Monte Gallo walk, you can look down on one of the most important water gardens in Italy at Valsanzibio. Fountains, white statues contrasting with dark green topiary, a maze and "water tricks" all look cool and tempting on a hot summer's day. You can even see Rabbit Island where the moated warren houses dozens of tame rabbits of all shapes and sizes. Each walk has its own best season. From late March to April, Monte Gemola (walk 3) comes to life with a dense cloud of almond blossom through which you walk to the Villa Beatrice d'Este with its little natural history museum. Slightly later, a walk round Monte Fasolo (walk 12) to the sound of cuckoos will take you past clumps of wild asparagus with cherry blossom here and there. Wild orchids are to be found on almost all the walks, and one of the delights of late springtime is to look down on the bright red rectangles of poppy fields around Arqua Petrarcha. My favorite autumn walk is Monte Calbarina and Monte Piccolo (walk 7) where a track through pollarded willows (which produce supple branches for tying vines) takes you up to stretches of meadow dotted with wild deep purple Michaelmas daisies. The views from this stretch, over to the village of Arqua Petrarcha, nominated one of the most picturesque in Italy, give you a crescent of cones with glimpses of the flat plains beyond. Small wonder that the poet Petrarch chose to end his days here. His remarkably well-preserved late 13th century house can be visited. At the foot of Monte Calbarina, just before you get to Arqua Petrarcha, is Lake Costa. This is the largest thermal basin in the hills, kept at a constant minimum temperature of 18 degrees because it is fed by upland streams where the water emerges at 45 degrees centigrade. From above, you can see that the soil around the lake is extremely rich, black and fertile. This is because there is peat here, from a time in the Bronze Age when the lake was larger, and there is evidence that people lived along the margins in stilt houses. The presence of so many hot water springs lends an air of magic and mystery to the landscape in winter. For centuries farmers have channeled the naturally hot streams into ditches around their fields and vineyards. When the air is cold, these ditches become lines of vapor, a patchwork of steam hedges surrounding the skeletal black rows of leafless vines. Herons and storks live here in abundance. In winter they're often to be seen warming their feet in the hot water channels, watching for the fish which are adapted to life in effervescent bath water. There are frogs too, including tree frogs, but the locals don't leave many for the herons. Two Euganean villages hold frog festivals in May, when the menu for the great communal feasts is frog risotto followed by deep fried frogs' legs with polenta. The busiest time in the hills is during the vendemmia, the grape harvest. The vineyards are alive with the buzzing of apes, (you'll have seen them; they're rather like motorized wheelbarrows. Ape means a bee, hence the buzzing) and the chattering of teams of pickers armed with secateurs. It's worth heading to Vo for the Grape Festival. Each village constructs a float made entirely of grapes, pulled by a tractor. Last year, better than the pyramid, the castle, the deep sea scene or the giant fox, the competition was easily won by an enormous replica of Michelangelo's David, correct in every anatomical detail, except that it was the green of a million grapes. After processing twice round the main square, poor David was pulled to pieces and consumed, a fantastic reward for all that wonderful hill walking. www.turismopadova.it/itinerari/Colli Illustrated leaflets and maps for all 17 walks can be picked up in local restaurants and tabacchi, and there are English versions in the two main tourist offices in Abano Terme and Montegrotto. The nearest airports are Venice, Bologna and Treviso. They are all served by no frills flights. You'll need to hire a car. Accommodation ranges from basic alberghi in Galzignano Terme and Battaglia Terme from 50 euros per room per night, to luxury spa hotels in Abano Terme and Montegrotto. (see website for details.) There are modest but good trattorie all over the region. Particularly recommended are: The Quadrifoglio in Teolo, favoured by the local fire brigade whose engines fill the small piazza. The home made pasta and huge portions of mixed grills mean you should order one menu between two people. The Campagnola, an agriturismo in Faedo where everything is home made and produced (I recommend the grilled quail). The Campagnola caters especially for hikers and will provide packed lunches.

Ocular squamous cell carcinoma is most common in animals with light pigmentation around the eyes, because sun exposure is one of several predisposing factors. This tumor is common in each of the following species EXCEPT: Infectious Keratoconjunctivitis in Animals (Pinkeye, Infectious Ophthalmia) John A. Angelos , DVM, PhD, University of California-Davis Last full review/revision Feb 2020 | Content last modified Feb 2020 Infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis Infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis, stained Infectious keratoconjunctivitis of cattle, sheep, and goats is a common ocular condition characterized by blepharospasm, conjunctivitis, lacrimation, and varying degrees of corneal opacity and ulceration. In severe cases, ocular rupture leading to blindness can result. Affected animals can present at any age, but young stock are most commonly affected. The disease can occur at any time of year, but outbreaks are most often associated with warmer times of year, when risk factor exposure is greatest. Risk factors for infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis (IBK) include: ultraviolet solar irradiation mechanical irritation (plant awns such as foxtails) trace mineral deficiencies (copper, selenium) infectious agents (see below) recent commingling via shipping attendance at shows/sales/auctions Although Moraxella bovis has long been considered to be the etiologic agent of IBK, other species of Moraxella, such as M bovoculi, M ovis, various Mycoplasma species (M bovis and M bovoculi), and infection with bovine herpesvirus type 1 and infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) virus may also play a role in disease. Agents associated with naturally occurring conjunctivitis or keratoconjunctivitis in sheep and goats include: Chlamydia pecorum Mycoplasma spp (notably M conjunctivae) Moraxella ovis Colesiota conjunctivae Acholeplasma oculi Thelazia spp Infectious keratoconjunctivitis usually is acute and tends to spread rapidly. One or both eyes may be affected. The earliest clinical signs are photophobia, blepharospasm, and epiphora; later, the ocular discharge may become mucopurulent. Conjunctivitis, with or without varying degrees of keratitis, is usually present. In sheep and goats, concurrent polyarthritis may be present in association with C pecorum infections. Appetite may be depressed because of ocular discomfort or visual disturbance that results in inability to locate food. The usual clinical course varies from a few days to several weeks. Most corneal ulcers in cattle with IBK heal without loss of vision; however, corneal rupture and permanent blindness can occur in the most severe cases. Infectious keratoconjunctivitis lesions vary in severity. In cattle, one or more small ulcers typically develop near the center of the cornea. Initially, the cornea around the ulcer is clear, but within a few hours a faint haze appears that subsequently increases in opacity. Lesions may regress in the early stages or may continue to progress. After 48–72 hours in severe cases, the entire cornea may become opaque, blinding the animal in that eye. Blood vessels may invade the cornea from the limbus and move toward the ulcer at ~1 mm/day. Corneal opacity may result from edema (hazy white to blue corneas), which is a part of the inflammatory process, or leukocyte infiltration (milky white to yellow corneas), which indicates severe infection. Continued active ulceration may cause corneal rupture. Relapse may occur at any stage of recovery. Clinical signs and microbial culture In all species, presumptive diagnosis of infectious keratoconjunctivitis is based on ocular signs and concurrent systemic disease. It is important to distinguish that the lesions are not due to foreign bodies such as plant awns or parasites (see Eyeworms of Large Animals Eyeworms of Large Animals Thelaziases are caused by spirurid nematodes (also known as eyeworms), which cause infestation of the orbital cavities and associated tissues of several animal species.

It is principally a disease of domestic... read more , respiratory signs are prominent with primary uveitis and associated keratitis. Microbial culture may help to confirm the causative organisms. Diagnosis of classic bacterial agents such as Moraxella is often by aerobic culture of samples taken from affected eyes. Chlamydia and Mycoplasma spp require special media; the diagnostic laboratory should be consulted before sample collection. Cytologic evaluation of stained slides prepared from conjunctival scrapings of sheep and goats may reveal Chlamydia organisms; however, intracytoplasmic inclusion bodies can be difficult to recognize. PCR can be used to detect Chlamydia and Mycoplasma spp. Recent advances in molecular diagnostic tests may allow easier and faster identification of Moraxella species. Improved management practices help prevent infectious keratoconjunctivitis In cattle, bacterins are also available for prevention Treatment includes antibiotics based on susceptibility of specific pathogens and supportive care Good management practices are of paramount importance to reduce or prevent spread of infectious keratoconjunctivitis infection in cattle, sheep, and goats. Separation of infected animals is beneficial when possible. Gloves and protective clothing should be worn and then disinfected between animals when affected individuals are being handled. Temporary isolation and preventive treatment of animals newly introduced to the herd may be helpful, because some of these animals may be asymptomatic carriers. Ultraviolet radiation from sunlight may enhance disease (particularly in cattle); therefore, affected animals should be provided with shade. Dust bags or insecticide-impregnated ear tags can be used to reduce the number of face flies (Musca autumnalis), an important vector for Moraxella bovis. For IBK, M bovis and M bovoculi commercial and autogenous bacterins are available; however, the efficacy of such vaccines against IBK has not been proven in randomized, controlled field trials. This lack of efficacy may arise due to antigenic variation between outbreak vs vaccine strains of Moraxella. Nevertheless, anecdotal evidence has suggested that, for some herds, M bovis and/or M bovoculi autogenous bacterins can be beneficial. It is unlikely that any Moraxella spp vaccine will ever completely control IBK in the face of overwhelming challenge from and exposure to other risk factors such as flies, dust, other infectious agents, and trace mineral deficiencies. As such, planning and implementing a successful IBK control program should reduce exposure of cattle to the multiple risk factors associated with IBK. Vaccinations are recommended at least 4–6 weeks before the annual anticipated first cases of IBK, to allow time for adequate immune responses to develop. The use of modified-live IBR vaccines has been associated with IBK in cattle, and consideration of the timing of IBR vaccination with animal shipment, especially in higher risk times of the year (summer/warmer months), may be important. Moraxella spp are susceptible to many antibiotics. Because antibiotic susceptibility may vary in different geographic locations, susceptibility testing of isolated organisms is advised. In the USA, long-acting oxytetracycline (two injections of 20 mg/kg, IM or SC, at a 48- to 72-hour interval) and tulathromycin (2.5 mg/kg, SC, given once) are approved for IBK treatment in cattle. Other effective (but not FDA-approved) antibiotics include ceftiofur crystalline free acid (6.6 mg/kg, SC, at the base of the ear) and florfenicol (20 mg/kg, IM, two doses at a 2-day interval). According to current federal regulations in the USA, use of ceftiofur in cattle must follow approved bottle directions, including dose, route, and frequency. Another common treatment for IBK is bulbar conjunctival injection with penicillin, but lack of a label indication for IBK/Moraxella may make other approved treatments more attractive. For infectious keratitis in sheep and goats, topical oxytetracycline and antiseptic sprays are currently approved treatments. Topical applications should be applied at least three times a day to be effective, and thus are often not cost-effective or practical in herd settings. A third-eyelid flap or partial tarsorrhaphy, which will shade the cornea from sunlight, together with subconjunctival injection, may reduce morbidity in severely affected animals. A temporary eye patch glued to the hair surrounding the eye is an inexpensive and easily applied treatment. The eye patch provides shade, prevents exposure to flies, and may help to decrease spread of organisms. Animals with substantial uveitis secondary to keratoconjunctivitis that is particularly painful may benefit from topical ophthalmic application of 1% atropine ointment 1–3 times daily. This will prevent painful ciliary body spasms and reduce the likelihood of posterior synechia formation that occurs with miosis. Because of mydriasis caused by atropine, treated animals should be provided with shade. Systemic NSAID treatment (eg, flunixin meglumine) may also provide relief. Early identification and treatment of pinkeye in cattle, sheep, and goats is important to minimize animal pain and suffering and to reduce spread within a herd. Addressing risk factors is an important aspect of disease control. For IBK in cattle, vaccination is controversial, but anecdotal reports suggest benefits.

Q: Distance from point to plane for linear plane Seems rather elementary but I have stumbled upon this, what is the shortest distance from $(7, -3)$ to the plane $x = 1$? Using the formulas I see the plane equation as $x - 1 = 0$ and the point is $(x_1, y_1) = (7, -3)$ so shouln't the distance be $d = \frac{|7 - 1|}{\sqrt{1}} = 6$ A: Plane: $x-1=0$, where $A=1$, $B=0$, $C=-1$ Point: $(7,-3)$, where $x_0=7$, $y_0=-3$ \begin{align}d&=\frac{|Ax_0+By_0+C|}{\sqrt{A^2+B^2}}\\ &=\frac{|1(7)+0(-3)-1|}{\sqrt{1^2 +0^2}}\\&=6\end{align} Your answer is correct. A: We can draw a graph of this situation: For a general line, the shortest distance will fall on the line which is perpendicular to the original line. In this case, the perpendicular line runs horizontally, and therefore we want the line which is horizontal and passes through the point $(7,-3)$: $$y=-3$$ Therefore, we are looking for the distance between the points $(1,-3)$ and $(7,-3)$ which we can see easily is $6$.

Have you ever seen a rock water fountain? It's basically an arrangement of stones, a water pump and spout, and water. Simply staring at the hypnotic ripples of water cascading down the sides of the rocks helps you de-stress. Before you know it, you'll be asleep in a sea of rhythmic, dribbling, burbling whispered song. The photo above is the rock water fountain in the house. Jun spruced it up by adding a few plants in the bowl that holds the water and the stones. Usually, rock water fountains do not contain plants. But that doesn't mean you can't innovate, right? Adjustable-flow waterspout is in the center of fountain (hidden by stones). You can change the arrangement of rocks (even slightly), and change the flow of running water over the rocks and its sound.

Q: CSS3 Fonts lack anti-alias and smoothness in IE10 I've checked many threads regarding this and have tried many things to get this issue to resolve but it still persists. I'm currently revamping a website using CSS3 fonts, moving away from Cúfon which was done be the previous developer for something more code light and modern. I'm using CSS3 @font-face to call the font family. The code I'm using is generated by Font Squirrel. So, my CSS call is like this: @font-face { font-family: 'helveticaneuelight'; src: url('fonts/helveticaneue_lt-webfont.eot'); src: url('fonts/helveticaneue_lt-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'), url('fonts/helveticaneue_lt-webfont.woff') format('woff'), url('fonts/helveticaneue_lt-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'), url('fonts/helveticaneue_lt-webfont.svg#helveticaneuelight') format('svg'); font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; } And in that CSS file when applying it to an element it looks like this: body { line-height: 130%; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; font-size:80%; /*-- Enables font size scaling in MSIE --*/ font-family:'helveticaneuelight', Helvetica, Serif; background-color: #000000; color: #5b5b5b; letter-spacing: 0; filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src='themeimages/HIEfix.png',sizingMethod='crop'); zoom: 1; } The "filter" and "zoom" properties are a hack that make the font look slightly better in IE but the problem is that in all browsers except IE the font looks like it should be as intended but in IE it's thinner and looks more aliased. The actual page in question is here: http://solanghansen.com/site/services/ This site isn't 100% finished so there's some other glitches I'm aware of in there as well. The current site on that same page using Cúfon is here: http://solanghansen.com/services.php With that page the menu is text as image and the rest of the text in Cúfon. The client likes that but obviously that's not the "proper" way to do it, especially as the new version is responsive and has more jQuery stuff going on. Has anyone encountered this before? It's likely something easy but I'm not finding the answer at the moment!

Library dedication in memory of Noreen Young, former Director of Nursing, Clinical Governance and Safety Date: 20th February 2014 The Trust has held a special event to remember its former director of nursing Noreen Young, who passed away in March 2013. Noreen Young had worked in the NHS for over 30 years. Noreen went on to progress through the different levels of nursing and her commitment and dedication to the profession led to her final appointment as Director of Nursing, Clinical Governance and Safety at the Trust, one of the most senior positions in the organisation. Trust chief executive Steven Michael said, "Noreen is fondly remembered for her dedicated work at the Trust and particularly for her role in promoting the role of nursing and the special skills required." Following consultation with Noreen's family the Trust dedicated the compassionate care award in Noreen's memory at its annual staff Excellence awards which took place on 7th November. Steven added, "All care in our Trust must be delivered with the person first and in the centre; this is one of our core values and Noreen was a great champion of this. This award celebrates excellence in putting people in the centre and truly delivering the Trust's values and mission." As well as remembering Noreen at the staff awards her husband Ken Young has donated her medical books to the library at Fieldhead in Wakefield, the Trust's largest site which provides a wide range of services. Special book plates have been included in the books provided which reference a quote from Noreen, "I try to inspire people to inspire themselves and for them to go on to inspire others." Many of the books already in the library were recommended by Noreen; any duplicate books will be sold and the money used to buy new books. A dedication plaque has also been placed in the library to inspire future NHS staff. The books were presented to the library by Ken and the Chief Executive Steven Michael at a special event, where staff and former colleagues of the nursing director could come and remember her.

Art theft is big business. It is usually done for ransom or for resale purposes. While a fraction of these stolen art works get recovered, there are some that up to this day remain stolen and are still docketed as open criminal cases. Despite huge rewards offered to any leads that could lead to recovery of stolen art works or the arrest of thieves, some of them remain hidden, and no one knows if the world will be able to view them again. A Stradivarius is considered to be the best-made violin in the world. Today there are about 650 of these stringed instruments that have survived. The Davidoff-Morini Stradivarius, crafted in 1727, was stolen from the New York apartment of famed violinist Erica Morini in 1995. She was already 91 years old and was confined in a hospital at the time of the theft and died soon after. The violin was valued at $3.5 million when it was stolen. Today the value is placed at $8 million. This highly-valued violin is still on the Top Ten Art Crimes list of the FBI. In the early morning of May 20, 2010, a lone burglar gained entry into the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris. From the security camera footage, the thief was seen removing the five paintings he stole from their frames, which included Pablo Picasso's "Le Pigeon aux petits pois" or The Pigeon with Green Peas. The total amount of the paintings he stole was close to €100 million. He was found and convicted in 2011. However, according to the thief, he panicked and threw the 1911 Picasso masterpiece in the garbage shortly after he stole it. If his story was true, it could have been destroyed or else still in the possession of whoever found it. It is currently valued (at auction) at over £20 million. One of the most recent art thefts happened in October 2012 at the Kunsthal Museum in Rotterdam, South Holland. Seven paintings were stolen during the early morning burglary, which only took three minutes to accomplish. Stolen were the works of Lucien Freud, Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, Claude Monet's "Charing Cross Bridge, London," and Paul Gauguin's "Femme Devant Une Fenêtre Ouverte, Dite La Fiancée." Total value of the paintings that were stolen amounted to about €18 million at that time. The paintings, which belong to the Triton Foundation and were on loan to the museum. The biggest haul so far from an art gallery burglary was the one that happened at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum on March 18, 1990. Thirteen art items, were stolen in three minutes by two men who posed as Boston police officers. The heist that had a combined value of $500 million, included "The Concert," a painting by Johannes Vermeer is currently worth $200 million. Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer is still one of the most renowned among the 17th cen0tury painters and most of his works are secured in museums or belong to the London Royal Collection. Isabella Stewart Gardner acquired the original Vermeer in 1892 and was displayed in her museum in 1903. The "Storm Of The Sea Of Galilee" was the only seascape that Rembrandt ever painted. Other very important paintings that were stolen include "The Just Judges" by Jan Van Eyck that was stolen from the Saint Bavon's Cathedral in Ghent, Belgium in 1934. Van Gogh's "The Lovers: The Poet's Garden IV" got lost around the 1930s when Hitler, attempting to build the world's greatest art collection, ordered the various works of art taken from private collections, museums and galleries. From 1885 to 1917, Peter Carl Fabergé created jewel-encrusted egg masterpieces for the Royal Family of Russia. Known as the Imperial Fabergé Egg Collection, it consisted of about 52 imperial eggs, which were pillaged by the Bolsheviks in 1918. There are still seven eggs missing, since one, the 3.5-inch Nécessaire Egg, surfaced in March 2014. A man found it among the items he bought at a jumble sale. The gold, diamond and sapphire encrusted egg is worth $33 million. It was immediately bought by a private collector.

The slate we're all waiting to see. Back in July we reported that HTC would not deign to grace the world with a tablet until they had something to set their product apart from the huddled masses of iPad "competitors". Since then, we've heard murmurings of an Android tablet, but nothing about an Android device. Until today. Digitimes reports that Taiwanese component makers have leaked the intended launch, claiming it will happen in Q1 2011. This new slate may pack Android 3 and will almost certainly be a "with Google" device.

The agritourism I Moresani is not only a fabulous place to spend the holidays, with family or friends, to go horseback riding or relax by the pool, it is first and foremost a farm, born out of the love for our land and the desire to create a distinctive setting which is at the same time healthy and genuine. The heart and strong point of this family-run farm is the art of knowing how to cook with flavour without sacrificing the simplicity of traditional flavours and the authenticity of organic products. Our main goal is to ensure that our recipes and traditional flavours remain in the hearts of all those who taste them. The restaurant is open to everyone; it is simple but very welcoming, in line with our dishes and our philosophy: simplicity is the foundation of taste and authentic flavours. Why is our kitchen loved by so many? Undoubtedly because the products we put on the table have not travelled hundreds of miles to get there – they are produced in-house! You just need to take a stroll around the farm to see our crops: vines, fruit, vegetables and livestock. That's why it's no coincidence that we are a Slow Food Presidium in Cilento for Cacioricotta and Cracked Olives and our restaurant features in the Michelin Guide and Inns of Italy. It is our aim to revive the flavours of the past but with innovation: we hold on firmly to the recipes of our grandmothers but keep an eye on the present and renew them to suit today's tastes in order to offer our guests the perfect balance between past and present.

Elderberry or Sambucus nigra is a fruit of the elder tree that has been used for several centuries in countries like Europe, Western Asia, North America, and North Africa as a folk remedy. It is known to possess many medicinal properties and has been used effectively for lowering cholesterol, improving the immune system, improving vision, and for treating colds, flu, coughs, and infections. The therapeutic effect of elderberry is considered to be mainly due to the presence of high levels of antioxidant flavonoids. Cooked elderberries are used as a flavoring agent in foods and wine. They are also used for making jams and pies. However raw elderberries and other parts of the elder tree are poisonous. Elderberry is an abundant source of health benefitting nutrients. As mentioned before, it contains very high amounts of the anthocyanin, which is a powerful antioxidant that gives it the dark color. It is a healthy fruit that is high in dietary fiber and low in cholesterol, sodium and saturated fat. Elderberry happens to be a good source of vitamins like vitamin A, vitamin C and B group vitamins like thiamin, niacin, riboflavin, folate, vitamin B6 and vitamin B12. It is also a very good source of many essential minerals like calcium, magnesium, iron, potassium, phosphorus, zinc, copper and selenium. Eating elderberry can provide you with a good amount of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids that are extremely important for your health. Elderberry has been widely used for its medicinal and therapeutic effects for thousands of years in many parts of the world. In fact, it was once considered to be a Holy Tree because people believed that it had the ability to enhance and maintain health, and also to increase life span. This dark blue or purplish berry is packed with nutrition and has been found to have many health benefits. Studies conducted on elderberry showed that the presence of flavonoid anthocyanins in it helps in enhancing the functioning of the immune system by increasing the production of unique proteins called cytokines. These proteins work as messengers in the immune system and help to control the immune response, which in turn helps to protect your body against various diseases. The anthocyanins found in elderberry have been found to possess more antioxidant effects than vitamins like vitamin E and vitamin C. The very high amounts of antioxidant anthocyanins in elderberry help in combating the harmful effects of free radicals in your body. These antioxidants also have anti-aging properties. By neutralizing the damage caused by the free radicals and protecting the cells from oxidative stress, antioxidants helps to delay the process of aging and also to reduce the signs of aging such as wrinkles and fine lines. Animal studies have revealed that elderberry contains a compound known as ursolic acid that may be beneficial in promoting weight loss, especially removing fat around the abdominal area. Another study conducted in by Germany by Chrubasik C and others from the Institute of Forensic Medicine, University of Freiburg also suggests that elderberry may help in losing weight. In this particular study, 80 individuals were given the juice of elderberry enriched with berry powder extracts and elderberry flower, along with asparagus-based extracts. The scientists found that this formula helped in improving the weight significantly. They also found that the formula improved the blood pressure as well as the physical and emotional condition of the participants. Elderberry has been used in traditional medicine for the treatment of influenza. Studies have shown that a standardized extract of elderberry known as Sambucol may be an effective, safe and natural option for treating influenza type A and B. The effectiveness of this extract was determined by carrying out a placebo-controlled, double blind study on a group of people who lived in an agricultural community during a major outbreak of influenza B virus in Panama in the year 1993. According to the study, a large percentage of the individuals (90%) who consumed the elderberry extract were cured completely just within two or three days whereas it took almost six days for the placebo group to attain the same effects. Another study published in the July 2009 issue of "Phytochemistry" says that the effectiveness of elderberry extract is similar to that of the conventional Tamiflu and Amantadine that are used for treating H1N1 viral infections. Elderberry has long been considered to be a natural and effective remedy for sinus infections and upper respiratory ailments. It is a rich source of many vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, which help in keeping your body healthy and disease free. Elderberry helps in reducing the duration and severity of common ailments like colds and flu by boosting the immune system. The juice of this wonderful berry has been found to be helpful in reducing the excess secretion of mucous and it is also believed to be beneficial in reducing the swelling or inflammation of mucous membranes, which in turn helps in improving sinus drainage. Hemagglutinin is a spike shaped protein that the viruses use to attack our cells and multiply. This protein has the ability to cause the red blood cells to agglutinate or clump together. Hemagglutinin spikes help the virus to break through the membrane of the cells, enter the cells and finally take control of the cells. Elderberry has been found to contain a strong antiviral agent known as "antivirin" which is capable of negating the harmful effects of the hemagglutinin spikes. Antivirin deactivates the spikes, thereby preventing the viruses from entering the cells and replicating. Studies were conducted to determine the action of anthocyanins on endothelial cells and to find out their possible benefits against various oxidative stressors. Endothelium is the inner membrane of the blood vessels. The results revealed that anthocyanins found in elderberry had been found to show protective effects on the endothelial cells against certain oxidative stressors. By protecting the endothelial cells, elderberry improves blood circulation and also protects against vascular diseases. Iron deficiency anemia, as the name implies is a condition caused when your body does not get adequate amounts of iron from the diet. Eating foods high in iron can help in preventing this condition. Elderberry is rich in iron content and hence is ideal for treating iron deficiency anemia. Eating elderberries is a great way to supply your body with plenty of flavonoids like anthocyanins. These compounds in addition to having strong antioxidant properties also have anti-inflammatory effects which help in reducing inflammation and pain. Hence elderberry is often used for treating inflammatory diseases like rheumatoid arthritis. It has been found that drinking elderberry tea is more effective and safe when compared to taking anti-inflammatory medications. Elderberry is a wonderful detoxifier and is helpful in maintaining healthy and clear skin. The juice of this berry has been used in the treatment of many skin problems such as acne breakouts, boils, burns, bruises and rashes. Because of its skin benefitting properties, elderberry can be found as an ingredient in many skin lotions, creams and moisturizers. The antioxidants in this fruit exhibit anti-aging properties and protects your skin from the appearance of aging signs like wrinkles, fine lines, dark spot and pigmentation. The flowers of the elderberry have been found to be helpful in improving the skin tone. Studies show that elderberry has the ability to lower blood sugar levels. This property is particularly useful for people suffering from diabetes. The effects of polyphenols found in this fruit on diabetes mellitus were studied. The results revealed that the polyphenol compounds helped in reducing the lipids peroxides, inhibiting the LDL oxidation and in neutralizing the lipid peroxil radicals. Due to the polyphenolic protection, the risk of atherogen is maintained at normal limits. The study also suggests that elderberry may be used in the treatment of diabetes. Elderberry has been found to have cancer fighting properties and hence is used for the treatment and prevention of this deadly disease. This fruit is rich in antioxidants that can protect your tissues from the damage caused by free radicals. By protecting the cells and tissues from oxidative damage, these antioxidants help in preventing many serious diseases like cancer and cardiovascular disease. Elderberry is believed to have an inhibiting effect on the growth and proliferation of cancer cells. According to a study published in the 2002 issue of "Free Radical Research", elderberry had the ability to inhibit angiogenesis, which is the process by which the cancerous tumors develop new blood vessels. Besides its immune boosting effects, elderberry also increased the number of white blood cells along with anti-inflammatory and inflammatory chemicals. It's also helped in stimulating the production of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) that was released as an anti-cancer agent. Studies show that the antioxidants in elderberry may help in reducing the bad cholesterol levels (LDL) while increasing the good cholesterol levels (HDL). A research conducted at Austria's University of Graz found that the extract of elderberry reduced the oxidation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. Elderberry is high in potassium that acts as a vasodilator and lowers high blood pressure. This fruit has diuretic properties that prevents water retention and also prevents hypertension. By maintaining healthy levels of cholesterol and blood pressure, elderberry goes a long way in protecting your heart from serious diseases. All you require are – 2 cups water, 2 cups of fresh elderberry juice or 2 tbsp of elderberry syrup or 2tbsp of dried elderberries. Other herbs include 1 cinnamon stick, 2 cloves and 2 cardamom pods. Place all ingredients in a pan, bring the mixture to boil and simmer for 20-30 minutes. Strain the liquid in a cup. Add sugar or honey as per taste. Consumption of this elderberries tea is good way of enjoying its benefits to our body. From the above list of health benefits that elderberry offers, it is clear that eating this fruit on a regular basis can help in improving your overall health and wellness. Not only is it a tasty fruit but also has been used for centuries in traditional medicine for the treatment of several ailments. How would you take elderberry capsules? With water or with food?

Original version by Hypnosonics (Mark Sandman's old band), and it here is it performed by Morphine + Chris Ballew on 1996, at Pier 62/63, Seattle, WA. Sound quality isn't the greatest, but it's alright when listened with headphones. It's pretty catchy. I'd just wish there would be a better recording out there. I'd tried to remaster the original recording, and I think it's slighty better now. Chris Ballew (PUSA), and Mark Sandman (Morphine) also had a band together called Supergroup.

5 Great Postgraduate Scholarships for Women Studying in UK It is no secret that in our time most fields and industries in the world are dominated by men. Women are inherently disadvantaged by this, and most have to work harder to be recognized and respected on the same level as men, no matter how bright or smart they are. If you fall into this category, you will be happy to hear that many countries around the world are actively working to narrow this gap. The UK is one of them, mainly providing scholarships for women to continue their education. In this way, international female students all over the world have greater opportunities to realize their dreams through education, while studying at one of the many prestigious universities in the UK. Here are five graduate scholarships for women studying in UK that you can consider.

Q: injecting a web user control with Ninject in WebForms I have an aspx page that I would like to have injected a reference to a user control. The user control is stored in a seperate assembly and loaded at runtime. After injected the user control it should then be loaded into the control collection of the page. Everything seems to be working fine expect the point of adding the control to the page. There is no error but the UI for the control doesn't show. global.asax.cs protected override Ninject.IKernel CreateKernel() { var modules = new INinjectModule[] { new MyDefaultModule() }; var kernel = new StandardKernel(modules); // Loads the module from an assembly in the Bin kernel.Load("ExternalAssembly.dll"); return kernel; } and here is how the external module is defined in the other assembly: public class ExternalModule : NinjectModule { public ExternalModule() { } public override void Load() { Bind<IView>().To<controls_MyCustomUserControlView>(); } } The debugger shows that when the app is run, the Load on the external module is being called, and the dependency gets injected into the page. public partial class admin_MainPage : PageBase { [Inject] public IView Views { get; set; } At this point when trying to add the view (here a user control) to the page, nothing is shown. Is this something to do with the way the user control is created by Ninject? The loaded control seems to have an empty control collection. inside aspx page var c = (UserControl)Views; // this won't show anything. even the Control collection of the loaded control (c.Controls) is empty var view = MultiView1.GetActiveView().Controls.Add(c); // but this works fine MultiView1.GetActiveView().Controls.Add(new Label() { Text = "Nice view you got here..." }); and finally the view/user control: public partial class controls_MyCustomUserControlView : UserControl, IView { } It contains just one label: <%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="MyCustomUserControlView.ascx.cs" Inherits="controls_MyCustomUserControlView" %> <asp:Label Text="Wow, what a view!" runat="server" /> A: Been able to get this working by calling Page.LoadControl with the user control as a resource. Page.LoadControl(typeof(controls_controls_MyCustomUserControlView), null) does not work, however Page.LoadControl("controls_MyCustomUserControlView.ascx") does. As the control is in an external assembly, first create a VirtualPathProvider and VirtualFile as discussed http://www.codeproject.com/KB/aspnet/ASP2UserControlLibrary.aspx The custom VirtualPathProvider will be used to check if the user control is located in an external assembly, and the VirtualFile (user control) will get returned as a resource from the assembly. Next setup the Ninject module to load the user control: public override void Load() { //Bind<IView>().To<controls_MyCustomUserControlView>(); Bind<IView>().ToMethod(LoadControl).InRequestScope(); } protected IView LoadControl(Ninject.Activation.IContext context) { var page = HttpContext.Current.Handler as System.Web.UI.Page; if (page != null) { //var control = page.LoadControl(typeof(controls_MyCustomUserControlView), null); var control = page.LoadControl("~/Plugins/ExternalAssembly.dll/MyCustomUserControlView.ascx"); return (IView)control; } return null; } "Plugins" is just a prefix for determining in the VirtualPathProvider if the control is located in another assembly. If your user control has a namespace then make sure you prefix the control name in LoadControl. The other thing is making sure to use CodeBehind instead of CodeFile as ASP.NET will try load a CodeBehind file. <%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="~/MyCustomUserControlView.ascx.cs" Inherits="controls_MyCustomUserControlView" %>

Hundreds of new migrants still being expelled to Mexico as Joe Biden keeps one of Donald Trump's controversial policies Juli n Aguilar Hundreds of new migrants still being expelled to Mexico as Joe Biden keeps one of Donald Trump's controversial policies Javier Leyva and his family cross the Paso del Norte International Bridge in El Paso on Tuesday. Migrants apprehended crossing the Rio Grande in Brownsville were flown to El Paso for processing and then deported to Ciudad Juárez. Credit: Paul Ratje for The Texas Tribune Sign up for The Brief, our daily newsletter that keeps readers up to speed on the most essential Texas news. CIUDAD JUÁREZ — As he stood on the international bridge that connects this border city with El Paso Tuesday afternoon, Javier Leyva had to be told where he was. The 30-year-old Honduran paid $6,000 to travel from his country through Mexico and eventually to the Rio Grande Valley, where he planned to seek asylum in the United States after illegally crossing the Rio Grande. Leyva said violence and economic uncertainty in Central America were the main reasons he decided to make the dangerous trek north. Instead, he found himself 800 miles away and back in Mexico, clutching only his few belongings in one hand and his 6-year-old daughter's palm with the other as a freak dust storm descended on the borderlands. The pair was part of a group of several dozen migrants flown to El Paso by federal officials to alleviate some of the pressure on immigration officials in other parts of the Texas-Mexico border. "They didn't tell us anything, they just dropped us off here. I thought I would get a permit [to stay] but they didn't tell us anything," he said, referring to U.S. Border Patrol agents. Leyva was one of about 200 migrants who have been deported to Ciudad Juárez since Monday under a controversial policy started by the Trump administration — and continued under the Biden administration — that quickly returns undocumented immigrants apprehended between the ports of entry without allowing them the chance to apply for asylum. The policy, generally referred to as Title 42 restrictions after a provision in the United States Code, was announced in March of 2020 as a way to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Although the Biden administration has scaled back several of the Trump administration's border and immigration policies, including the construction of the border wall and the Migrant Protection Protocols, the Department of Homeland Security insisted Tuesday the border is "not open" and the Title 42 returns will continue in most circumstances. Migrants that were flown from Brownsville and deported to Ciudad Juárez in Mexico waited at the Juárez Migrant Assistance Center on Wednesday. "Families from Mexico and the Northern Triangle countries are expelled to Mexico unless Mexico does not have the capacity to receive the families," DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said in a statement Tuesday, referring to El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras. "Families from countries other than Mexico or the Northern Triangle are expelled by plane to their countries of origin. Exceptions can be made when a family member has an acute vulnerability." Biden's attempt to balance campaign promises to reestablish a more compassionate immigration system while keeping some Trump restrictions in place have the administration maneuvering through a public relations minefield. The president is a frequent target for Texas' Republican leaders, including Gov. Greg Abbott and U.S. Sens. Ted Cruz and John Cornyn, who have repeatedly used the term "crisis" to describe the monthslong increases in apprehensions that began before Biden took office. More than 100,000 people were either apprehended by or surrendered to federal immigration officials in February, including about 9,460 unaccompanied minors and more than 19,240 family units. Those are increases of more than 60% and 35%, respectively, when compared with January's figures. Mayorkas conceded in his Tuesday statement that apprehensions could reach their highest levels in 20 years. He also ordered FEMA to establish a presence on the border for three months to help receive and shelter unaccompanied minors after they cross the border. The agency has set up shelters in Midland and Dallas to temporarily house immigrant minors. The facilities can hold up to 700 and 2,300 people, respectively, the Washington Post reported. "It is a humanitarian crisis, it is a national security crisis and it is a health crisis that are all unfolding, and it is the direct result of policy mistakes and decisions made by the Biden administration," Cruz told conservative news outlet Newsmax Tuesday evening. Cruz and Cornyn are also hosting a Senate delegation in the Rio Grande Valley next week. Meanwhile, immigrant rights groups are also hammering Biden to end the immediate expulsions, arguing the policy was illegal under Trump and remains illegal today. "The National Immigrant Justice Center and 100 organizations have called for these expulsions to end — as have leading public health experts and epidemiologists who found no basis in the government's specious public health reasoning," wrote Azadeh Erfani and Nefertari Elshiekh, two policy analysts at the NIJC. "NIJC strongly condemns these unlawful expulsions which have already sent countless migrants back to certain harm or death." Mexican officials are also watching the situation in hopes they won't see a repeat of what happened in 2019 under Trump. The former president's policies forced tens of thousands of migrants back into Mexico, which filled shelters in border cities like Ciudad Juárez and stressed social service agencies who help migrants. As he stood with his team at the foot of the international bridge on Tuesday, Enrique Valenzuela, director of Ciudad Juárez's Centro de Atención a Migrantes, a migrant transition facility, said shelter space is a major concern again. "It's fair to say they are about to be crowded so we have to develop capacity," he said. When asked what he tells migrants who want to know when they'll be let into the United States, he said he has to be honest. "The only thing I can say is that we have no idea. It could be 15 days or 15 months," he said. "But they have to know it's a health policy and not a migrant policy." For Jennifer, a 27-year old Salvadoran who came to the border hoping to be reunited with her children in Atlanta, it's back to square one. She had tried to cross into the U.S. through Ciudad Juárez before, but was sent back. She thought she'd have better luck joining other migrants crossing the border in the Rio Grande Valley under the Biden administration, but found herself back in Mexico with the others after the U.S. government flew them to Ciudad Juárez Tuesday. "I do still have some faith, but more than anything I am worried about my kids. They need me," she said. "I don't know how they can't understand that parents need to be with their kids." Leyva, the asylum seeker from Honduras, said his mind was made up just minutes after being returned to Mexico. "I'd rather they just send me back to my country," he said. "I don't know this city and I don't want to be here, especially with my daughter."

BlogsRural and EnvironmentScotland's Land Reform Agenda Rural and Environment Scotland's Land Reform Agenda January 6, 2018 by Roseanna Cunningham MSP No Comments | Category Environment 2017 has been a landmark year for Scotland's Land Reform agenda. Our progressive community land ownership policies have delivered huge benefits to communities across the country, and have set us on an ambitious process to transform the relationship between the land and the people of Scotland. Community right to buy, which we expanded through the Community Empowerment Act in 2015 and Land Reform legislation in 2016, has unlocked potential in our urban, rural and island communities and has given local people a say in their future. Communities now have the right to be involved in community planning and participation requests, and our urban communities now have the same rights to buy land as rural communities have enjoyed for the previous 14 years. The introduction of the Asset Transfer Requests gave communities the right to request that they use, manage or even own assets owned by public bodies, and not just those that are surplus to requirements. In the last year, the Scottish Land Commission has become fully operational, demonstrating the Scottish Government's commitment to long-term land reform. The Commission is helping to provide momentum and focus, and is leading debate across urban and rural Scotland on the significance of land reform as a driver of sustainable and inclusive economic growth. Under its three-year Strategic Plan published in September, the Commission will be examining options for future land reform, including looking at the concentration of land ownership in Scotland and whether better use could be made of common-good land, including an option for transfer of common good land into community ownership. The Scottish Land Fund – which we have committed to funding until at least 2020 and in the coming year will again be £10 million – continues to play an important role in delivering our ambitious community land ambitions by providing awards to community groups to purchase land. In the last year, the Scottish Land Fund has made awards to 57 groups, totalling over £4 million. There are also over 200 groups in the pipeline, who have contacted the fund to begin the application process. Thanks to these policies, we are providing an independent assessment on what can be improved and ensuring that community land ownership remains high on the agenda. Our commitment is matched by ambitious targets. By 2020, we would like to see 1 million acres under community ownership. Last month, Scotland's Chief Statistician published the first Estimate of Community Owned Land in Scotland in 2017. Although there is still some way to go, we now have over 560,000 acres of land in community ownership, and it is encouraging to see just how far we've come. Since 1990, the amount of land in community ownership has seen a fivefold increase and as at June 2017 there were 562,230 acres in community ownership – 2.9% of the total land area of Scotland. There are now over 400 community groups who own land across Scotland, and the number is rising. Community ownership is concentrated in two local authorities: Na hEileanan Siar and Highland which contains 385,340 and 141,912 respectively, equating to 93.7% (527,252 acres) of the total land in community ownership in Scotland. This year, there have been 10 new registrations of interest in land, and another 2 are in the process of being registered. The means that there have now been over 230 registered interests in land. In October, we granted consent to The North West Mull Community Woodland Company to register its interest in purchasing the Isle of Ulva in the Inner Hebrides, with an ambitious view to attracting new residents by increasing economic activity and housing stock on the island. Although The Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2003 has been successfully used across rural and urban Scotland, this was the first time permission had been granted to register interest in buying a Scottish Island under this legislation. However, there is still more work to be done. In 2018, we will see the new Community Right to Buy for Abandoned, Neglected or Detrimental Land. This is a compulsory right which has the potential to be a major shift in the community ownership landscape. We published the world's first Land Rights and Responsibilities Statement in September. This will help shape the thinking on land issues in Scotland over the coming years. The Statement adopts a human rights based approach to land rights and responsibilities and it signals our determination to continue leading the way in ensuring that Scotland's urban and rural land contributes to inclusive and sustainable economic growth and to social justice. There is no single approach to Land Reform, and the various measures that we have introduced in the previous year or two, have all contributed in some way. Among the important work I have asked the Scottish Land Commission to undertake is a review of the right to buy mechanisms and to make recommendations to me about how we can simplify and improve the process and make it easier for community groups to achieve a successful outcome. This year we will lay draft regulations on the Register of Controlling Interests and will publish guidance on engaging communities in decisions relating to land. All of these reforms will continue to lay the groundwork for communities to take control of assets that matter to them in 2018, and I look forward to a time when that community ownership becomes the norm, rather than the exception.

Discussion in 'Android Devices' started by Austrie, Sep 26, 2011. Semi-Brick(ed) - Phone will not boot up or go into recovery. This is the mobile partition, image folder(folder inside the driver on your computer when you go into download mode), for anybody who wants it, who wants to revert theirs back to stock, or whose phone is bricked. Just go into download mode(power button + volume down), connect your phone to your laptop/computer, open the 'MOBILE' driver, delete the folder labeled 'image', extract the downloaded folder, and put the extracted folder in the MOBILE driver. The extracted folder should be named 'image' as well. Lolo_Chavez, lynsey11, audiosoulja and 11 others like this. Curious, did this come from your phone? However just like the one posted in that thread the Motorola bootlogo doesn't appear - just a black screen. Also the polling text that normally scrolls down the screen in bootloader mode doesn't appear. This is on a phone where the 'MOBILE' partition accidently got formatted using an old CWM recovery (the newer recoveries no longer have the option, thank god). I'm wondering if one of you guys would be willing to make an actual image of the 'MOBILE' drive that comes up when you plug the phone in while it's in bootloader mode - maybe there is something hidden in the partition data that triggers the boot display. Maybe using a tool like WinImage or something else that can make an .iso or .img file from this drive. Never saw that thread, hmm, but anyways, SEEMS like your /fat has gone bad, seeing as you used the earlier cwm. Try this using windows, have my folder ready, go into download mode, connect to laptop/computer, go to my computer, right click the driver, look for 'format...', click it, format it, then open it put my folder into it, eject the driver from computer side, unplug phone, battery pull, see if it works, and tell me. EDIT: Just did it again for the heck of it - followed your instructions to the letter. Same result. Black screen at boot until it gets to the point of loading the boot animation - no Moto logo. Bootloader / download mode shows no polling messages on the screen. (although it obviously works as I can access the 'MOBILE' (/fat) that way.) It's like somehow the display just isn't getting initialized. I'm not the only one either, there was another guy in that thread that formatted his /fat partition in exactly the same way and the same thing is happening to him. We're missing something... I just wish I knew what it does. Like I said earlier my best guess is something hidden in the actual /fat partition itself that doesn't show up as a file per say. Or maybe the partition and FAT table has to be layed out in a certain way that isn't getting reproduced if we just copy the files to a freshly formatted partition. I mean we could be worse off - at least we got the phone unbricked. Brick(ed) - Phone will not boot up or go into recovery. Just go into download mode(power button + volume down), connect your phone to your laptop/computer, open the 'MOBILE' driver, delete the folder labeled 'image', extract the downloaded folder, and put the extracted folder in the MOBILE driver. I can't seem to boot into download mode now, any idea why? Does it give any indication that it is in download mode? No it does not, it just gives you a black screen but the phone is still in download mode. You can verify this because the mobile drive will appear on your pc when you plug it in. Copy the image folder from your pc to the mobile drive, Disconnect the phone from the computer and pull the battery. Re insert the battery and power the phone on as normal. You will see a black screen at first but in the phone will boo boo you'll see the bootanimation after about 10 seconds. No one has found a fix for the missing boot logo or the missing white text in bootloader mode. For the missing white text I am not sure of a solution, but if u can still get into download mode then it shouldn't be a be a problem. This doesn't appear to be related to the splash.img - in fact whatever is causing it not to appear is also what's causing the polling text not to be visible in bootloader mode. I suspect that there is either hidden data within the original FAT partition that we're missing, or the physical layout of the files in the FAT partition has to be specific. What we really need is someone to use a disk imaging utility to make an actual disk image of the drive. How would someone make the disk image of the drive? I have a brand new triumph now and it would be handy to know how to do that. David, I'm going to send you a PM with some instructions! OK thanks to Davidx385 above sending me the files from his phone and some research I think I've figured out what's going on here. There are TWO hardware revisions of the Motorola Triumph. The original first run version of the phone (I call this the 'sloppy' version because of it's light heft and a run of manufacturing defects the likes of no one has ever seen before), and the second 'better' hardware revision. You can tell which version of the phone you have by looking under the battery cover - if you have SIX barcodes you have the NEWER revision. If you have SEVEN barcodes then you likely have a phone from the original batch (poor fellow). It looks as if the two versions of the phone use slightly different files in the FAT partition (the 'MOBILE' drive that shows up when you plug in the phone in bootloader mode). Using the wrong files on your phone won't keep it from booting, but will cause weird problems like the initial boot splash not appearing (the red Motorola logo), the offline charging animation not appearing, and the white USB polling text not appearing in bootloader mode. Download and unzip the above file somewhere on your PC, you'll wind up with an 'image' folder. Boot your Triumph in bootloader mode (vol-down + power) and then plug it into your PC. When the 'mobile' drive pops up on your computer, open it and delete the 'image' folder from it. Now copy the 'image' folder from the unzipped file above back to the 'mobile' drive. Once it's done you can unplug your Triumph, pull the battery, put the battery back in and then power it up! You should have your boot splash back, the big green battery (charging animation) should show up on the screen if you plug the phone in to charge while it's turned off, and the white USB polling text should show up on the screen if you power it on in bootloader mode. BAM! Once again I have to give big shouts to Davidx385 - without him I wouldn't have figured out what the heck was going on. I hope this helps someone else too! twayne and Vtec01 like this. I'm wondering how you found out about the old and the new revisions, but if this actually works then good job Red, this must have been work. Thanks Austrie, it's definitely been an interesting experience. 1. Different stock FroYo build versions - older ends on .38, newer ends in .39. 2. The older first run version of the phone actually weighs less than the newer one due to slightly different construction. 3. As stated above the white ID sticker in the battery compartment on the newer phone only has 6 barcodes instead of 7. Apparently the internal hardware differences aren't big enough to cause major problems with builds of Android which is why we can use the same ROMS and such. I have had the same problem as the others, in respect to not having boot logo, battery charge animation, and boot loader polling text, but everything else has worked fine. I am currently running Tickerguys CM7 Beta 0.8 Final ROM, and OCv1.5 Kernel. My question is; Will using the fix mentioned here work now that I have already upgraded everything, or will it seriously damage my phone by doing so. Thanks for all the info, so far. I would like to put a custom boot logo on my phone, and have the charging animation back. Doing this will put you back to stock, but you can restore a nandroid after and you will be set. Just do a backup right beforehand, and everything should be cool. Doing the stuff here will not damage your phone. not sure sure if I'm replying in the right spot but I'm sure you well read this. I THANK YOU, I'm new to all this and if it wasn't for people like you helping people like me , I would be screwed.I came from apple to android and things are alittle different and I'm learning, thats why I'm thanking you. THANK YOU!!! I'm able to get the image file halfway copied over to my MOBILE file, when suddenly the MOBILE file seems to eject itself and not finish downloading. When unplug it, plug back in, wait for my computer to decide it wants to register the phone connection (up to 10 minutes to an hour) and bring back up the MOBILE--->image file, inside is just a txt file but none other. Am I doing something wrong here? Did you extract the image file before the transfer? Hopefully someone else will be able to help. Odd that your phone ejects it halfway through. Have you tried on a different computer? okay so i just erased the image folder on the MOBILE drive and dragged the extracted zip folder the op linked us to. However I'm stuck on a motorola logo now. I recently had cm7 by MDEV. Im trying to get it back to stock so I can sell this phone. I keep getting stuck at the motorola logo when trying to boot normally. I can get in download mode and recovery mode just fine. I even tried clearing dalvik cache and cache in cwm as well as factor resetting from there. Any ideas what I may be doing wrong? Or should it take 10 + minutes to boot? p.s my triumph has 7 bar codes so I guess its an older version. I have the newer version so got the correct image folder, put phone in download mode and moved the image folder over. Restart the phone and all I get is a black screen. I get a black screen regardless if I try to regular boot, recovery boot, or download mode. The back light comes on though. Anyone else running into this?

May 15, 2019 / 6:55 PM / 2 months ago Reports: Patriots bring back former LB Collins The New England Patriots have agreed to bring back former linebacker Jamie Collins, multiple media outlets reported Wednesday. Contract terms have yet to be reported. NFL Network reported earlier Wednesday the sides were in talks about a deal. Collins, 29, spent three-plus seasons with New England before being dealt to the Cleveland Browns for a conditional third-round pick midway through the 2016 season. Cleveland gave Collins a four-year, $50 million extension in January of 2017, but he was released this March after 30 games with the club. The Patriots took Collins in the second round of the 2013 draft, and he blossomed with a Pro Bowl 2015 campaign, when he racked up 89 tackles (eight for loss), 5.5 sacks, five forced fumbles, an interception and six passes defensed in just 12 games. In 50 games (41 starts) with the Patriots, Collins totaled 326 tackles, 10.5 sacks, 10 forced fumbles, five interceptions and 16 passes defensed. After missing 10 games to injury in 2017, Collins played in all 16 for the first time in his career last year, totaling 104 tackles, four sacks, an interception and four passes defensed for the Browns. Collins will now be coached by a former teammate, as he played alongside current inside linebackers coach Jerod Mayo from 2013-15.

Changing Patterns of Kuru: Epidemiological Changes in the Period of Increasing Contact of the Fore People with Western Civilization Michael Alpers and D. Carleton Gajdusek Source: The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, Volume 14, Issue 5, 1 Sep 1965, p. 852 - 879 DOI: https://doi.org/10.4269/ajtmh.1965.14.852 Analysis of the records of kuru from 1957 to 1964, including over 1450 patients, shows that there has been a progressive decline in kuru mortality and incidence over this period, present in adults and children, but most marked among the latter, and especially so in the youngest age group. More detailed analysis by sex and age distribution, and by ethnic and geographic division has been undertaken by a comparison of the figures for two three-year periods, 1957 to 1957 and 1961 to 1963. Age-duration studies show that the duration of the disease has increased in adults in the more recent period. Evidence is also put forward for the possibility of a seasonal variation in the incidence of kuru. The possible implications of these results are briefly discussed and it is suggested that the changes may be related directly to the process of acculturation to Western civilization which has taken place in the kuru region throughout the period under study. /content/journals/10.4269/ajtmh.1965.14.852 http://instance.metastore.ingenta.com/content/journals/10.4269/ajtmh.1965.14.852 10.4269/ajtmh.1965.14.852

Today is "Trinity Sunday" in the church's liturgical year, a day in which churches of so many denominations including Protestants celebrate the mystery of God's being as the Holy Trinity. That is, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The Creator, the Redeemer and the Sustainer. "The triune God is the basis of all we are and do as Christians. "In the name of this triune God we are baptized. "As the baptized ones we bear the name of the triune God in our being. "We are of the family of the triune God. We affirm this parentage when, in reciting the creeds, we say what we believe. "Our discipleship is rooted in the mighty acts of this triune God who is active in redeeming the world. "The triune God is the basis of all our prayers — we pray to God the Father, through Jesus Christ, by the Holy Spirit. My friends and readers . . . God is with us. This is the great promise, the synthesis of all that was revealed from the beginning. God is with us. This is the final summary of the Good News of God passed on to us in Matthew's Gospel. "And Jesus came and said to them, 'All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.

That all who are possessed, oppressed, distressed, depressed, poor and downcast may be set free at last. United Methodist church volunteers cleaning up in the heat and mess of storms and a tornado in Van, Tx. in a scene that has played out in places all over Texas and the Southeast lately. I've seen first-hand, many times, the shock and trauma that can devastate people in hurricanes, floods, tornadoes and other weather-related disasters. So even though I'm a world away from my home state of Texas, I know the trauma that so many Texans–God help them–are suffering right now. The hardest and most challenging duty I ever had in my journalism career was covering weather disasters, and Lord knows I covered more than my share of catastrophic floods like the ones we've seen in Texas and other states lately. The 1993 flood in the Mighty Mississippi Basin has been called "The Great Flood," but every flood is disastrously "great" when it devastates you and your life for a long time to come. Pray for flood victims and please consider a donation for relief. I covered killer floods not only in flood-prone regions of Texas, but also the Big Daddy of all American floods that was the Mississippi River disaster of 1993. The elaborate systems of water-control failed in the Mississippi River basin, leading to the greatest flood ever recorded on the Upper Mississippi. In St. Louis alone, the Mississippi remained above flood stage for 144 days between April 1 and Sept. 30, 1993. A Houston Chronicle photographer and I traveled up and down multiple states gathering pictures and stories, sometimes going out on boats with guides who took us over whole towns that were deep underwater beneath us. I also covered a massive flood in Texas, in the early nineties as well, that killed more than 20 people. This was a flood that occurred literally in my own back yard, as I was living in a lake house at the time on Lake Conroe, a popular recreational reservoir north of Houston. My first challenge in covering the flood was getting out of my own neighborhood. Thankfully, my house was far enough away from shore that the waters stopped just short of my front door, sparing me a flooded house. Many of my neighbors who lived right on the shores were not so fortunate. Covering floods entails all the nasty stuff that rescue and relief workers face–snakes everywhere and fire ants on drift wood and stifling heat and humidity after the rains stopped, and sickening stench from dead animals and dead waters unable to drain. The difference is that rescue and relief workers do such heroic work, putting their lives way more on the line than reporters, of course. But reporters as well as relief workers see the shock and trauma in the faces of people who narrowly escape deaths, or who have seen loved ones drown, and all the rest. We tend to associate post-traumatic stress with war, but it actually goes with every kind of disaster. And a lot of people in Texas, Oklahoma and other places are going to be coping with PTS for a long time, long after the news media have moved on to the next disaster. In my morning and evening prayers I routinely send up prayers for people all over the world suffering from disastrous events beyond their control, events that make the news such as wars and genocides, famines and diseases and of course, violent weather. But rain and flooding of "biblical proportions," as they say, has hit close to home in my beloved home state of Texas. I thank God my family and scores of friends back home came out OK in it all, as far as I can tell. But I'm keeping the others in prayer and, including the many people who were already poor or struggling to survive financially, and sending a few bucks for disaster relief to UMCOR, and hope you'll donate to it or the Red Cross or some credible source.

As of this moment, I am done with everything. I've completed all the classwork I've needed to in order to earn my undergraduate degree. Did you hear me? I've now done everything I've needed to do to get my Sociology Bachelor's with a Mathematics Minor. I'll admit it, I cried for a bit. They were tears of relief, let me tell you. Working full-time and going to school part-time was the hardest thing I've ever done in my life. Hardest. Because I made many sacrifices I wouldn't have had to make if I wasn't going to school. And that is how I learned I could not do it all, somethings had to go. Which is okay. It was totally worth it. And now I never have to take another college class again. Ever. I am not saying I won't take another college class, but I don't have to take any. I did think that maybe I'd get a graduate degree, or even a doctorate. And, the way I'm feeling now, that would be a no. I am crispy. Done. What is on my plate? What's next? Well, for the next few weeks I'm going to try to take it easy, enjoy a break. I have lots of projects ready for me to begin, but there will be plenty of time to do them in January and February. I'll just keep blogging, hang out with the husband, pet the kitties, and start working on life after college.

Switzerland: Unequal... Switzerland: Unequal Treatment of Patients With Rare Diseases "It can be said that the equal treatment of all health-insured persons is currently not guaranteed." This is the stark summary of a report ordered by Switzerland's Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH) and published at the end of last year. The report shows that measures introduced into law on March 1, 2011 with the objective to ensure that patients needing medicines either not authorized in Switzerland or authorized but not yet figuring on the list of reimbursable drugs could receive the medicinal therapy they need — an objective that clearly was not attained. Swiss Health Insurance and Reimbursement System The Swiss healthcare system is widely praised, and correctly so, for its quality. It is a very complex system. In a nutshell: Every Swiss resident is obligated to have basic health insurance coverage (BHI) that guarantees that a person receives immediate treatment by physicians and hospitals in cases of illness or accident without the need of previous administrative hassles, notably regarding costs. For their compulsory coverage, Swiss residents currently have the choice of 56 private health insurers approved by the FOPH. According to their needs and financial possibilities, consumers may take out additional insurance providing a higher level of comfort in an inpatient setting and securing the payment of therapies that are not covered by BHI (e.g., dental treatment). With regard to the coverage of the costs for medicines, a two-tier system is in place. After a medicinal product has received its compulsory Swiss marketing authorization (Swiss MA) issued by Swissmedic, Federal Agency for Therapeutic Products, FOPH has to decide whether and, if so, for which indications, under which limitations, and at what price the product may be marketed if it is to be reimbursed by BHI. All products covered by BHI are entered into a list of specialities (SL) based on a decision by FOPH. In some circumstances, however, therapies may not be covered by health insurers, such as (i) the off-label use of medicines, (ii) the use of medicines that have no Swiss MA, and (iii) medicines with a Swiss MA whose SL listing is still pending. Regulatory Remedies On March 1, 2011, a revision of the Federal Ordinance on Health Insurance (HIO) that was designed to fill these gaps in the coverage of medicinal therapy became applicable. In essence, the Swiss Federal Counsel decreed that in all the cases mentioned above, the BHI would cover the costs, provided that the use of the product at hand is either (i) an indispensable prerequisite for the performance of another service covered by BHI and this service is clearly the primary focus, or, alternatively, (ii) the use of the drug is (a) expected to provide a major therapeutic benefit against a disease that may be fatal for the insured person or result in severe and chronic health impairments, and (b) no other effective and approved treatment method is available due to a lack of therapeutic alternatives. For each case, that is, on a named-patient basis, based on a respective application submitted by the patient's treating physician, the health insurer of the patient decides whether the above conditions are met. With regard to the price of the medicine, the law requests that the health insurer consults the MA holder, but in essence it is the health insurer that decides on the price it is willing to reimburse (except for medicines with a foreign MA, where the price in the export country is reimbursed). Evaluation of the Regulatory Remedies Observers have raised numerous questions about this approach, notably about who should decide whether a medicinal therapy meets the legal conditions, decide whether it is expected to provide a major therapeutic benefit, and set the price for the therapy. In its 125-page report on the evaluation of the 2011 revision of the HIO, the authors note that there are more and more cases of individual medicinal therapies to be decided by health insurers. The costs of the submission of and decision on coverage requests exceed 10% of the value of the medicines, which shows that the system is less than efficient.1 In addition to these cost considerations, however, the authors challenge how this system squares with the fundamental right to equal treatment: For example, a test performed by the authors of the report consisted of submitting an identical application for cost coverage to 16 separate insurers, representing 80% of insured individuals. The authors found that the identical application was rejected 25% of the time, fully approved 20% of the time, and partially approved (in a trial setting) 40% of the time. The remaining applications did not receive a decision on the basis of the available information. The authors question the heterogeneity of these decisions in the light of the principle of equal treatment.2 The authors also questioned the overall rejection of 20% of patients' applications.3 Remediating the Remedies The report makes a string of suggestions for remediating the shortcomings of the regulation introduced in 2011. In its comment on the report,4 FOPH invites all stakeholders to evaluate the report's findings and communicates its plans to develop concrete measures to remediate the shortcomings of the current regulation in the first quarter of 2021 and to draft a project for a revision. Patients and the industry are well advised to closely follow these developments. Stakeholder participation in the public consultation will inform the Federal Counsel's decision and enable it to assess the views of all stakeholders concerned. 1 Report p. 15, Section 3.4.2. 2 Report p. 20. 3 Report p. 35, Section 6.1. 4 To be found under https://www.bag.admin.ch/bag/de/home/das-bag/publikationen/evaluationsberichte/evalber-kuv.html (as only a German version of the report is published).

Way back, before even our first spirits flowed from our stills, we decided to track down barrels of whiskey and set ourselves up as Merchant Bottlers. This was partially self-serving so we could justify visiting distilleries and do extensive barrel sampling. Out of our travels came Bull Run Straight Bourbon Whiskey which started as a small one-off project but quickly became the anchor of our Merchant Bottling Expressions. Overall this is a great representation of the craft distillery movement in Oregon, the finest ingredients, hand craftsmanship and a great bourbon to enjoy here in the Pacific Northwest. Opening with soft, warm, vanilla notes, expanding to a spicy mid-palate with a finish that's all silk and honey. Ginger, Cherry, Citrus and Clove. Better cocktail bars and retailers in California, Illinois, Massachusetts, Maryland, New York, Oregon and Washington. [Varies by batch] Small batch, high rye bourbon, 25% rye, 65% corn, 10% malted barley and the pure, raw water from the Bull Run Watershed and barrel aged for minimum of 4–6 years.

You may recall seeing trailers advertising this movie, where he scolds to his son, "What law is there saying I got to like you? Don't you eat every day? As long as you in my house, you put a sir at the end of it when you talk to me." Hopefully you never had a father unnervingly speak similar words to you; if it turns out you did, I'm here to help. Children all over live under fathers who are poor role models or express no care to love their children. Any child (and mother) wound find it traumatic, even more so when the child has autism. Everybody's first impression of adulthood comes from the parents. For girls, the mother must show them how to be a woman. For boys, father must show them how to be a man. In both cases, the father, being the usual household leader, stands as the whole house's role model. You don't have to agree, but in most circumstances, that is just how it goes. Thus, any father should grasp the difference in how to treat a child on the autism spectrum, because there are many. Autism means senses are far more sensitive, so things like yelling in order to discipline creates more harm than good in the relationship. It also means a possible difficulty in forming a connection. My dad and I both took the Myers-Briggs personality test, and our results were almost completely opposite of one another. Although we had little difficulty in developing a relationship over the years—we found plenty to bond over including movies and food. In terms of understanding problems however, a barrier certainly existed. Likewise, autism will often create emotional distance on both sides of the father-child relationship. Then the parents have to somehow agree upon their parenting tactics. Six-Word Lessons for Dads with Autistic Kids, Lesson #34: One is Overprotective and Shelters Him. Six-Word Lessons for Dads with Autistic Kids, Lesson #35: One Wants to Make Him Normal. Six-Word Lessons for Dads with Autistic Kids, Lesson #36: One Doesn't Want to Be Involved. Fences delves into the very issue quite a bit, where the father always has the final say, and the wife has no contribution in anything. Eventually she gets sick and tired of it and stands up against her fear built up over the years. Communication guarantees a healthy marriage. Especially when there are disagreements, voice them earlier rather than later to prevent unneeded crisis. Six-Word Lessons for Dads with Autistic Kids, Lesson #100: Never Stop Saying I Love You. Yet what to do if daddy simply has no desire to better his character? He could be an alcoholic, abusive, fool around with other women, or simply never express any love toward his kids. Sadly, no one single answer exists to help somebody on the autism spectrum under such a predicament. Nothing can express it: The confusion, sensory overload, and depression without a good role model to look up to. You may believe nobody else exists for a boy to know who to aspire, or for a girl to know her ideal traits in a good husband. No two situations are alike, so here are some general tips to help you if you're stuck in said situation: 3 Takeaways: Take a look at my dad's series of videos about raising autistic kids. He always pulls a single lesson about his book, briefly covers it, and offers three takeaways to understand autism better as parents. If you are the mother caught in this issue, don't wait for someone else to take charge, or feel like you have no options other than to watch on the sidelines. Take action; and know that if things really get dangerous for everyone involved, and the husband shows little potential for future change, it could be time to take some action. Stand up for your own rights. There are other local male role models your kids could look to. These include therapists, teachers, and other relatives all over who would love to become a role model to help your children understand the real world. Thanks so much for your time in reading!

Luke 2:10-14 And the angel said to them, "Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people." After Jesus was born, while he was still in the manger, an angel appeared to a group of shepherds. At that time, shepherds were not looked upon in a positive manner. They were considered unclean, and they were not considered viable witnesses in a court of law. Because of this, it's important to note that the news of Jesus' birth was given first to the lowliest of people. "The keepers of the sacrificial lambs were the first ones to hear of the birth of Christ." Even if they were, the cadence of this message had to have been melodious. The birth of Christ was unprecedented and heaven being visible from earth was amazingly rare. However the message was vocalized, the news was the most significant news in history. The meaning of Christmas was explained throughout the heavenly hosts who praised God. The shepherds could have sat back and thought, "Cool, we just saw angels." They could have debated over the meaning of the words, or felt pride in being the ones who got to see the heavens opened up. They could have decided that their own sacrificial sheep were more important than the Lamb of God. But for them the news was a call to action. Their response gives us a clue as to how we can receive God's good will. We must take action by personally responding to the Prince of Peace. Who will you tell today the Good News?

Tag Archives: United States The Championships, Wimbledon 2015 Gentlemen's Preview and Winner Defending Champ: Novak Djokovic Runner-up: Roger Federer Roger Federer returns to the All-England Club one season after losing a heartbreaking fifth & final set to Novak Djokovic. It was the last time Fed was able to be in the final of a major. However, this is 2015 and the No. 2 seed has another opportunity to win his eighth title. Will this be his last chance to win a major? Hopefully not, I would love to see him finish his career like Pete Sampras did. To see preview of the Ladies side you can click here. Novak Djokovic comes into the tourney disappointed he could not claim a career grand slam at the French Open earlier this month. If there is a favorite to win the tile it must be Djok, right? He has been in both grand slam finals thus far this season and won one. Novak is also the defending champ. People are writing off Rafael Nadal. Some have gone as far as saying that his career is over based on his horrible showing during the clay season. I would think that Rafa is allowed to have on bad year on clay. The guy has won nine French Opens and people think he can win another. It's no secret that grass is not his favorite surface, but can he be called an underdog? Stan Wawrinka proved all the haters wrong in Paris, as he was able to pick up his second major. He has the ability to push all of the other top players. He will be an interesting player to watch. David Ferrer will not win because he can't beat a player better than him. He doesn't even pick up an occasional upset over the top players. It appears once again that my favorite country, USA, will not be bringing home a major any time soon. John Isner is the best bet we have, but he is like Ferrer. It's like he freezes against bigger named players. Notable gentlemen in the field 1 Novak Djokovic 2 Roger Federer 3 Andy Murray 4 Stan Wawrinka 5 Kei Nishikori 6 Tomas Berdych 7 Milos Raonic 8 David Ferer 9 Marin Cilic 10 Rafael Nadal 11 Grigor Dimitrov 12 Gilles Simon 13 Jo-Wilfred Tsonga 14 Kevin Anderson 15 Feliciano Lopez 16 David Goffin 17 John Isner 18 Gael Monfils 19 Tommy Robredo 20 Roberto Bautista Agut 21 Richard Gasquet 22 Viktor Troicki 23 Ivo Karlovic 24 Leonardo Mayer 25 Andreas Seppi 26 Nick Kyrgios 27 Bernard Tomic 28 Pablo Cuevas 29 Guillermo Garcia-Lopez 30 Fabio Fognini 31 Jack Sock 32 Dominic Thiem I'm going with No. 3 seed Andy Murray to pick up the win. Shocker, I hope not. He is the equal to Djok, Federer, Wawrinka and every other player in the field. Amélie Mauresmo has been an outstanding coach for him. For those of us that had the chance to watch Amélie play, it is easy to compare her game and circumstance to Murray. It has not been easy for him to overcome the other top players en route to his two major victories. Mauresmo had to beat players like Serena Williams and Justine Henin.

"Charlotte is a major hub of business in the Southeastern United States with a growing economy and broad base of sports fans, and the Presidents Cup matches perfectly as we look to bring it to exciting, emerging markets and allow a new fan base to experience the competition, pageantry and international goodwill that the event represents."

As we end a great sports weekend, our staff has noticed that the sports that were featured this weekend resemble the hit 1970's show, All in the Family. WHAT! You are comparing a comedy to various sports. Yes, we are, just because it is necessary. It was a show that had complex roles and a lot of comedy. It is easy to laugh at these sports. Archie Bunker was set in his ways. Archie made mistakes and never admitted them. College football is the exact same way. Should college football players be paid to play. Yes, they should at least get a percentage. If the school is selling a jersey that has a number of a famous football player then give the kid his/her money. The players sign an agreement that the NCAA can use a likeness of the player and another that said that a player couldn't collect any money on their name. None of this make sense. If II can't make a dollar off of my name, why can you? The only reason Texas A&M is relevant is because of a certain player we promised to never mention. The same brat that has a big mouth and who will not be as good as he says he is. He did put Nicholls State University on the map this summer by having a huge meltdown. Anyways, it is understandable if Texas A&M pimps him, but when the NCAA sells the jersey #12, it is clear they are trying to make money. The National Football League plays Edith Bunker. It may be more commonly known as the No Fun League. Edith was a person that was honest and she did her best to never make someone around her sad. However, Edith was not the brightest crayon in the box, nor did her elevator go to the top floor. This weekend the NFL has made a "dingbat" decision. Teams will now be flagged if a player uses any type of obscenity. Are you kidding me? Football is a sport that is played by emotion and what group of words yields those emotions better than obscenities. Lamar Odom will have more hits than the NFL censor button. Gloria Stivic was a young person who was charismatic and optimistic. Gloria reminds us of the Women's National Basketball Association. The WNBA has great talent but it is overshadowed by all of the popular sports going on around it. The NBA is a great big brother to the women's league, however fans do not come out to support the female talent. The league only has twelve teams, but they are not all in major markets. It does not help that the end of the WNBA season ends as the football season begins, and as baseball ends. Really, why would we look at a league that has no stars whenever we could be watching our fantasy football scores pour in. Brittany Greiner is a person with a lot of talent and she is the future of the league, but they are not taking advantage of it. Like Gloria, the WNBA is not the most popular, but with a little more personality it can become greater. For the role of Mike Stivic we have a tie. Huh, someone has to win the role. It does not happen in all cases. Full House had two Michelle Tanner's. If they can do it, we can too. Major League Baseball and boxing have been a cornerstone in American sports for a long time, thus why they are the most stubborn. This also makes them the best roles for "Meathead". They both know it all. Baseball has opted to use an extended replay system at the start of the 2014 season. The teams will be voting on the decision at the winter baseball meetings later this year. However, the sport does not want to challenge balls and strikes. Only reviewable plays can be reviewed, however, non-reviewable calls can still be argued with the home plate umpire or the crew chief. Baseball is so rich in history, but why have all of this technology and not use it. The purpose of human error is what again.? It is an error. It's like Americans listening to South Korean music. Yeah, we like it, but it gets old quick. It get old very quick. Boxing makes a strong case to being named "Meathead". Boxing had a huge weekend. Floyd "Money" Mayweather Jr. defeated Canelo Alvarez by majority decision. Okay what is next though. The sport that gave us Ali, Holmes, Tyson, Marciano, Frazier, Foreman, and Dempsey is dying before us. The last time boxing had a hit Chris hit Rhianna. Take a deep breathe. Now name five more relevant boxers who are still fighting in the squared circle. The UFC and MMA have taken over the entire demographic. The fight that would have included Mayweather and Pacquiao will never happen. All in the Family was a great show and it lasted many of seasons, but these sports have got to get their acts together. Please save the drama for the next season of a NBC drama. God knows they need one. all in the familyArchie BunkerbaseballboxingChris Browncollege football playersdingbatEdith BunkerfootballGloria StivicLamar OdommeatheadMLBnational football leagueNBCNCAANFLreplayRhiannasportsTexas A&MUnited StatesweekendWNBAWomen's National Basketball Association

I'm from a group of friends who look for excuses to cook. Food is at the center of a lot of our favorite things to get together for, like Festivus, the Super Bowl, and, of course, Halloween. We're basically just low-key folks looking for an excuse to make a themed-feast. When I presented them with the idea of a Halloween dinner party, I was met with mixed responses. Everyone was pretty clear about not wanting to dress up. It's not that we don't like it, but trying to have a costume ready on such short notice is stressful for those who put pride in their yearly attempt. That left the focus on food in a big way. A pair of my friends graciously volunteered their apartment as the event space, so we got together a few spooky decorations and let some scary movies play in the background to set the ambiance. For six guests, we decided on two appetizers, two main courses, and two desserts. It only took three shopping trips (don't judge me) before I was ready to get cooking. For appetizers, I went with a super-adorable pumpkin-style cheese ball and deviled eggs, which were supposed to look like pumpkins. For the main course, there were jack-o'-lantern-style stuffed peppers and autumn ribs with a cranberry glaze. Dessert was pumpkin cheesecake dip and pumpkin pie wontons. It took just over three hours to bring the feast to fruition, and although cooking at that scale is rarely easy, it was well worth it. I went into the night a little frazzled. The day had gotten away from me, and I met up with my friends to begin cooking later than I wanted to. They reassured me that eating later would just add to the ambiance of the whole thing, so we got started. First up, we rubbed down the baby back ribs with sugar, mustard powder, chili powder, celery salt, cinnamon, kosher salt, and pepper as explained in Food 52's recipe for Autumn Ribs With Cranberry Cider Glaze. Next, it was time to boil eggs. My favorite deviled eggs recipe is Truffled Deviled Eggs from Tide & Thyme, although I had to leave out the truffle oil to please the masses. Next, we roasted some garlic and threw it in the blender in preparation to make Roasted Garlic Chipotle Mayonnaise. I thought this would lend itself to delicious deviled eggs that present a little more orange than average. Then it was time to make the cranberry glaze, which coats the ribs until they caramelize in the final stage of cooking. Being someone who only consumes cranberry with vodka, I was admittedly skeptical. It also felt a little too Thanksgiving-like, but I trusted the process. Next up was our festive cheese ball! I followed the Perfect Fall Cheese Ball recipe from Genius Kitchen. We did run into a little snafu by accidentally adding an additional block of cream cheese, but luckily, we are a group of food lovers who don't believe there is such a thing as too much cheese. We mixed everything together, wrapped it in cling wrap, and put it in the fridge to harden. Back to the eggs! I was bummed that despite fancying up the mayo, we didn't get the orange color. I still love deviled eggs, so we decided to finish them. I always make a mess during the refilling portion. Luckily, one of my friends pulled off making a piping bag out of a zip-lock bag. I let him do the filling so I wouldn't coat the entire apartment in egg yolk. It was time to check on the ribs, and they smelled AMAZING. We drizzled the cranberry cider glaze on the ribs and covered them, then popped them back in the oven to finish them off. It was time to check back in on the cheese ball. I really loved the idea of using the top of a pepper to give it a pumpkin feel. We coated the outside with cheddar-and-sour-cream chips, deviating a little from Genius Kitchen's recipe. The cheese ball was still a little too soft to put all the pumpkin lines in, so it needed to chill a little while longer. It was time to work with the rest of the peppers. I had the most fun carving little jack-o-lantern faces into the peppers, which were inspired by Everyday Jenny's Shredded Chicken and Rice Stuffed Peppers (Halloween Style). I used a paring knife for precision, but I was still so nervous about getting the faces just right. I tried a few different designs, and I couldn't pick a favorite because they were all adorable. It was finally time to start eating! I set out the appetizers, and no joke, that cheese ball was half destroyed within 10 minutes of the picture being taken. I also went TO TOWN on those deviled eggs, in case you were wondering. Just because they were fail eggs didn't mean they didn't deserve love, too! After appetizers, it was time to fill the stuffed peppers. I used ground beef instead of shredded chicken, and white rice instead of Mexican rice since I'd made too much rice the night before. These guys needed just an hour in the oven. The peppers went in just as the ribs were coming out. A little peek under the foil showed that they weren't quite caramelizing yet, so they had to go back in for a little longer (10 to 15 minutes by my estimation). The ribs settled until the peppers were ready. I pulled them out of the oven and was kind of wowed by the personality the little faces had! That one that was turned toward me was part aww and part terrifying — in all the best ways. Our friends were THRILLED when it was time for the main course. The house smelled all kinds of delicious. I was a little nervous for everyone to dig in, but I was immediately reassured when everyone started to devour both the ribs and the peppers. A taste test of my own confirmed that everything was scrumptious. Finally, it was time for dessert! I haven't said much about the Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake Dip, the recipe for which I got from A Night Owl, but that's because it was so easy to whip up. You just mix everything up and refrigerate until ready to serve! I picked this recipe because I was so intrigued by the use of the pumpkin spice creamer. I like recipes that use items unconventionally, and this one totally delivered. Last but most certainly not least, we have the Pumpkin Pie Wontons, courtesy of Tablespoon. I've never used wonton wrappers before, so I was a little intimidated. Putting them together was actually super easy! You simply brush the edges of the paper with an egg wash to seal them. While frying them, I learned the importance of pinching the corners tightly during assembly. We lost a few wontons to them exploding in the pan, but luckily, most of them made it just fine. Next was the messy (but beautiful) sprinkling with powdered sugar. I tend to think powdered sugar is both the best and worst thing that's ever happened to desserts because it can get messy but is oh-so-yum! Everyone had more or less forgotten about dessert, but everyone's eyes widened as I put it out. While I don't have even a little bit of a sweet tooth, my friends most certainly do. We enjoyed these with some coffee and tea. The Halloween dinner party was, by all accounts, a success. I've thrown many a Halloween party in my day, but one that doesn't involve cleaning up after massive amounts of drunk friends and instead shifts the focus to food is definitely more up my alley. The only thing that would've made it better is if everyone had been ready to dress up. There's always next year though, and I can't wait.

On Saturday December 1st, shoppers at Sobeys in Fenelon Falls will be rubbing their eyes in disbelief. What is going on? There are grey haired ladies wearing orange t-shirts and a little dog pulling a wagon, standing outside the Sobeys entrance and exit doors. Too late for Hallowe'en and orange is definitely not a Christmas colour. Did these pumpkin ladies push out the Salvation Army bell ringers who usually stand at by Sobeys doors during the Christmas season? These aren't "pumpkin ladies," and they aren't little weak grey haired grandmothers. These are strong women, political advocates, and members of GRAN (Grandmothers' Advocacy Network) fighting to raise public awareness to end violence against women and girls. From 25 November, International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, to December 10, Human Rights Day, the United Nations is running the UNiTE Campaign: 16 Days of Activism to End Gender-based Violence. This a time to galvanize action to end violence against women and girls everywhere. As a bright and optimistic colour, orange has been chosen by the United Nations as the colour to represent the Campaign's goal of a future free from violence. The theme and activities of the UNiTE Campaign in 2018 under the global banner Orange the World, will mobilize all UNiTE networks, including the UN system, government partners, civil society, schools and universities, private sector, sports associations and individuals to stand in solidarity with women's human rights organizations and defenders who are working to end violence against women and girls. The city of Kawartha Lakes is one of those "government partners." For the third year in a row, our City Hall in Lindsay will be lit up in orange during those 16 days of activism. You can see our mayor Andy Letham proudly sporting an orange tie on the city website along with an expression of support for the 16 days of activism. Last year a symbolic candle light vigil was held on the steps of City Hall, attended by MP Jamie Schmale, and by Fenelon Falls councillors Doug Elmslie and Stephen Strangway. Symbolism is important and it was a good photo op with the grey haired ladies bundled up against the cold and holding little candles. More important than symbolism was the action taken individually by municipal employees. Inspired by the mayor and council, many of them personally donated to local women's shelters such as Amy's Place and Women's Resources. Jamie Schmale last year gave a moving speech on the steps of City Hall. He spoke of his young son and how he wanted to raise him to be sensitive towards women. This year, at the Senior's Centre, on Thursday November 15 at 8:00 pm, Jamie has invited GRAN to present him with an orange ribbon which he will wear proudly in parliament during the 16 days of activism. GRAN advocates are proud to live in the City of Kawartha Lakes, which has taken our place alongside other cities worldwide to "Orange the World" and throw an orange spotlight on sexual and gender based violence both in third world countries and here in Canada, even in our own local community.

The U.K. was rocked last week when a 52-year old British citizen Khalid Masood drove his car into a mass of civilians walking down the Westminster Bridge, killing three and injuring 50 people. Just a day earlier, Nicki Minaj had been at the exact same location filming scenes for a video to accompany her Remy Ma diss song "No Frauds" that features both Drake and Lil Wayne. According to the Sun, given what's happened, Nicki has decided to cut the footage from the video as it would be, "in poor taste," to leave it in. "When everybody involved in the project heard the news they were devastated and thought it would be in bad taste to feature it," a source told the U.K. publication. Shortly after the news broke about the attack, which also left a police officer stabbed to death in New Palace Yard, Minaj took to Twitter to offer her condolences and sympathies to the people of London and the families of those affected by the attack. May God protect everyone in London. Hate hearing this sad news. Sending my condolences to the victims' families. Earlier this week, Minaj teased the shoot on Westminster Bridge with an array of photos posted to her Instagram account. "Woke up sick af from the weather yesterday but this was all worth it. I come alive in London. Can't wait for u guys to see the epic video we shot yesterday," she noted in one of the pics.

Boy it's been a long time since I've lasted blogged. Life gave me some lemons, but I also had some wonderful adventures. My most recent one was super sweet! I was invited by Trip Skyscanner to check out a pop-up shop up in Santa Monica called Candytopia and I definitely give it a 10! I felt like a kid in a candy shop and I'm so glad that I got to experience it. Be sure to check it out for yourself if you haven't done so already – their last day is July 22! Tickets are $30 for adults and $23 for children age 4-12. You can purchase them here. Limit 12 tickets per person. What candy creation would you be most excited to see?

An Oakdene Hollins-led, pan-European project to understand the shape of remanufacturing in the EU. With an EU market potential of €90bn by 2030, remanufacturing is set to become an increasingly important aspect of the future manufacturing industry. Remanufacturing allows companies to strategically position themselves close to their customers whilst delivering economic and environmental savings. ERN helps existing remanufacturers improve their operations and encourages new business to take up remanufacturing. This website reports the outputs of the European Commission-funded project, European Remanufacturing Network funded under Horizon 2020. Below, you can find links to pages with more information on the project and tools and resources that it generated. The enduring output of this project is the Conseil Européen de Remanufacture (CER, European Remanufacturing Council). This is a fee-paying consortium of enlightened manufacturers who want to advance the European remanufacturing agenda including addressing the key priorities from the ERN project. What is remanufacturing and what are the benefits to your business, consumers and the environment? Remanufacturing is the process of returning a used product to at least its original performance with a warranty that is equivalent to or better than that of the newly manufactured product. From a customer viewpoint, the remanufactured product can be considered the same as a new product. Five free video sessions exploring remanufacturing policies, design and processes. Over the course of five sessions you will learn about the meaning of remanufacturing from both the customer and manufacturer perspectives; how to create, capture and deliver value; what obstacles and opportunities exist. Find out how remanufacturing can help organisations in your sector by using our remanufacturing case study tool. Find out how remanufacturing can help your organisation by using our case study selector. The tool will show relevant examples of companies that have realised the benefits of remanufacturing within selected industries. Learn about how companies are making remanufacturing a successful reality. What business opportunities does remanufacturing offer and what are the environmental benefits? How does remanufacturing in turn change a product's design? What remanufacturing processes are efficient? Our case studies themed around the core elements of Business Models, Design and Processes seek answers to these questions.

If you have been putting off a second or third run-through of "The Witcher 3" in hopes that the developers will add a New Game Plus mode, then good news, it's on the way. This according to the latest update from the team at CD Projekt Red. The developers made the confirmation earlier today, stating that more free DLC is on the way for the popular game, and that a New Game Plus mode will also be added to the title through a future update. News broke on Facebook and Twitter, form the official Witcher accounts that simply posted, "NG+, the final FREE DLC, is on the way! Stay tuned. Won't happen this week – we need a bit more time to finish it." You can checkout the image teasing the new DLC below. The developers stopped short of detailing the NG+ mode but more details are sure to be released over the next few weeks. The game is also set to release its first untitled expansion over the next few months but more information and details on both of those content offering will be announced at a later date.

March is going towards its end now. Don't worry we are here with new wallpapers/calendars for April. Three of these wallpapers are designed based on Daisy flower, as its my favorite. I hope you will like them. Guitar is one of my favorite musical instruments and April is celebrated as International Guitar month. So, I have designed this wallpaper to express my love for Guitar. This is fourth wallpaper of my Ant series. When someone is in love, they try to fulfill every desire of their partner in order to woo them. In this wallpaper, Joy (Big grey ant) bought a diamond ring and present that gift to Rose ( Small black ant). Now, lets see what happens next month.. 10th of April is celebrated as Golfer's Day. This day is an opportunity to be thankful to one who invented this addicting, yet relaxing game. This wallpaper is my tribute to Golf. I hope Tiger Woods would like it. Spring is the season of fun and joy. I have used spring and daisy flowers to express the joy. Even the fonts are adding funny mood to this wallpaper. The only word that come into my mind is 'Delighted' when I see this beautiful, charming and innocent creation of God. That is my way to appreciate beauty of Daisy flower. We will be back with some new Wallpapers/Calendars next month, till then, See ya!

Tag: Skepticism Moving Beyond Atheist Adolescence When New Atheism was born, it served a real and noble purpose. Though open criticism of religion wasn't unheard of, it was still uncommon enough to be shocking to many people to see anyone publicly calling attention to the dark underbelly of religion – to the privileged status it holds as considered off the table for criticism or the unfounded conflation of piety with morality. In the aftermath of 9/11, however, we could no longer afford to deny the connection between religious fundamentalism and deadly extremism. We could not have an honest conversation about our national security or shared values without acknowledging the damage religion can cause or the risks it poses. Back then, breaking the taboos that protected institutional religious privilege wasn't just an edgy claim to notoriety; it was a moral imperative. Another meaningful contribution of New Atheism was to show doubters and non-believers on an unprecedented scale that we weren't alone. While many of us had remained closeted for years, either from societal or familial pressure or for want of the means to articulate our doubts, the onset of movement atheism all at once gave us the words to express our ideas and the comfort of knowing there were millions of others out there just like us. Books like Hitchens' God is Not Great, Dawkins' The God Delusion, Harris' Letter to a Christian Nation, and Dennett's Breaking the Spell resonated not only because they made such compelling arguments against the existence of god and the toxicity of organized religion, but because they expressed to the world the observations and objections so many of the rest of us had been seeing and thinking but could not articulate (at least not as succinctly or powerfully. I will never forget the first time I read The God Delusion, the first so-called "atheist" book I had ever read; I must have leapt up and shouted "Yes! That's it! That's EXACTLY IT!" a hundred times). We sought out like-minded thinkers in online spaces and formed virtual communities, and some were even emboldened to reclaim their identities within their own communities. We were, if not free of the stigma of atheism, at least no longer solitary in it, and perhaps for the first time we had the numbers and resources to fight it. That was a long time ago now. For many of us who have been involved in any meaningful way with this movement (such as it is) since more or less the beginning of New Atheism, the bloom is off the rose. Just as certain films and novels that struck us as revolutionary in high school look trite and shallow in the cold light of adulthood, the scriptural counter-apologetics, witticisms about gullible theists, and preening pronouncements about our preference for difficult truths over comforting lies that seemed so clever and cutting-edge 15 years ago are now hackneyed and tired. The problem, as I see it, is that too many New Atheists never matured beyond that initial rebellious phase. They conflate seeing through the god hypothesis with following evidence. They confuse gratuitous insensitivity with being iconoclasts. Besotted with their own perceived wit and what they see as their command of rhetoric, they mistake their atheism for intellectualism. For my part I was never really interested in the "does god exist or not" discussion, for as David A. Sptiz said, "it is scarcely necessary to disprove what has never been proved." For a long time my primary focus was on pointing out the disparity between what religion claims – about the rewards of faith, for example – and the reality of the world we live in, not as a means to debunk the existence of god but to expose the ways in which those disparities lead to the rationalization of and indifference to human suffering. I still think exposing this failure of compassion is worthwhile and necessary, but I am no longer naive enough to think that anti-theist activism is a sufficient remedy for what ails humanity, nor that religion is the cause of all that ails us. Growing up involves self-reflection and discovery. As each person takes a separate path, we arrive at certain destinations at different times, and bypass others altogether. People who are just now questioning or abandoning their religious faith have different questions and needs than people who left years ago or never had it to begin with, which are different still based on whether someone was a casual believer or a fundamentalist, Christian or Muslim, how religious her community is, and so on. It makes sense that much of what made New Atheism appealing to people who were already atheist (more or less) 15 years ago is appealing today to people who are only just now coming into their atheism. In this context the counter-apologetics, self-affirmations, and taboo-smashing still have great value at an individual level. Still, it is a phase that one would expect most to outgrow as they move along their journey, not a place to remain stuck forever, like an aging football captain still repeating the story of his state championship-winning touchdown 30 years later. I hitched my own wagon to this movement in hopes of creating a world in which ancient superstitions hold no sway over civil laws; where people think critically and make decisions based on objective truths; where minds are changed based on evidence; and where "because my religion says so" is no longer an acceptable justification for hatred or for depriving anyone of their dignity or basic human rights. It has been a sad, disillusioning journey to discover that these are not universal values amongst atheists, many of whom have no more regard for evidence or morality than the theists they hold in such contempt and who seem all too happy to replace religious justifications for hate and bigotry with other, non-divine but equally flawed reasons. If the atheist "movement" cannot live up to its own professed ideals of applying the lens of reason and evidence to the world around us – and most especially to our own selves – it will rightly be discarded, and those of us who still wish to fight for change will do so under another mantle. Posted on October 18, 2017 Author Godless MamaCategories Anti-Theism, General Religion, Humanism, SkepticismTags Argumentation, Atheism, Intellectual Honesty, New Atheism, Skepticism3 Comments on Moving Beyond Atheist Adolescence Signs You Might Be A Hypocrite I can think of little else that I despise more than hypocrisy: The application of different standards (of evidence, morality, or anything else) to those things of which we approve or which benefit us vs. those things we dislike or which benefit others. Of course we are all human and subject to cognitive biases in varying degrees, an unfortunate but inevitable consequence of our hard wiring. Excessive hypocrisy, however, is a mark of both intellectual laziness and intellectual dishonesty, and especially for those of us who claim the mantle of skeptic / critical thinker / champion of evidence, we should be perpetually vigilant for signs of it in ourselves and take decisive corrective action when we find it. Here are a few clues that may help you determine whether your hypocrisy self-awareness meter requires calibration. You spend a lot of time defending Milo Yiannopolous and Richard Spencer under the banner of "we have to protect even the most offensive speech," but did not defend Kathy Griffin's mock ISIS photo under the banner of "we have to protect even the most offensive speech." You chastise others for their echo chambers and admonish them to engage with to their opponents, but block people who disagree with you on Facebook and Twitter. You have ever said "fuck your feelings" with regard to perceived political correctness, but lamented the lack of respect shown to Mike Pence when he was booed at a Broadway show. You were horrified by the evangelical Christian trend of "purity balls" but laud hijab as a feminist symbol. You supported the Benghazi investigations but oppose the Trump-Russia investigation. It bothered you that Richard Spencer lost his gym membership, but you think LGBT couples should just find another bakery. You criticize western feminists who talk about sexist imagery in comics for overly frivolous concerns, but complain about women-only screenings of the film Wonder Woman. You called the people who were outraged when Trump bragged about grabbing women's genitals without their permission "snowflakes," but not the people who were outraged when Colin Kaepernick didn't stand for the national anthem. You were more bothered by Michelle Obama's bare arms than by Melania Trump's nudity. You characterize Milo Yiannopolous as "just a troll" but an anti-Trump D-list comedian as "a Leftist celebrated public figure." You dismiss non-binary concepts of gender as not based in science, but defended the "Penis as Social Construct" hoax by saying even if this hoax didn't debunk the field of gender studies, it doesn't matter because everyone knows a better hoax would have. You oppose legal abortion but support the death penalty. You said jokes about the death of Roger Ailes were disrespectful of Ailes's family, but you promote Sandy Hook truther Alex Jones or call criticism of Sean Hannity's treatment of the Rich family "regressive." You claim to oppose Islam on behalf of the women it oppresses, but promote personalities who deny the existence of date rape or who call for white women to be publicly flogged for sexual impropriety. You deny that Western colonialism turns Muslims into Islamists, but claim that too much political correctness turns white people into racists. You spent weeks or months condemning the Richard Spencer punch and holding it up as evidence of pervasive violence on the Left, but justified, laughed at, or remained silent when a conservative politician assaulted a journalist and deny it is indicative of a violence problem on the Right. You spend more time worrying about the threat to free speech posed by Ann Coulter being dis-invited from speaking at a college campus than you do about a citizen being convicted and imprisoned for laughing at a government official (or a bill that would send teenagers to federal prison for sexting, or a journalist being arrested for asking a government official a question, or state legislatures passing laws criminalizing peaceful protests). You declare the importance of seeing people as individuals rather than as collectives while making hasty generalizations about feminists, Muslims, Democrats, Leftists, etc. You speak out against anti-LGBT attitudes embraced by conservative Christians, but file anti-LGBT attitudes among Muslims under "cultural differences." You denigrate the boycott of Sean Hannity's advertisers in response to his treatment of the Rich family as a regressive leftist attack for "wrong think," but were supportive or silent when conservatives boycotted Beauty and the Beast for having a gay character (or Hamilton because the cast addressed Mike Pence; or Budweiser, 84 Lumber, CocaCola, Airbnb, Kia, and Tiffany for airing SuperBowl ads with pro-diversity messages; or Nordstrom for dropping Ivanka Trump's clothing line; or Netflix for having a show called Dear White People; or Starbucks for having insufficiently Christian holiday coffee cups; or Hawaii because a federal judge there ruled against Trump's travel ban; or Target for encouraging trans people to use their restroom of choice; or Target again for banning loaded guns in its stores; or ABC for cancelling Last Man Standing; or . . . ) Posted on June 1, 2017 Author Godless MamaCategories Morality and Ethics, Politics, Skepticism, UncategorizedTags Evidence, Fallacies, Intellectual Honesty, Logic, Politics, Skepticism1 Comment on Signs You Might Be A Hypocrite I Have Some Bad News This is a modified and updated version of a similar list I posted in February 2016. The bad news for some people will be that they see some of their closely held beliefs being contradicted here. For my part the bad news is that the list is not only still relevant but required an update. Still, there are some things that simply must be said (and more than once, apparently). 9/11 was not an inside job. It wasn't a "false flag" either. Neither was Sandy Hook. Neither were the shootings in Orlando, Charleston, San Bernardino, Colorado Springs, Ft. Hood, or anywhere else. In fact, there is no such thing as a "false flag" (a la Alex Jones). The moon landing really happened. So did the Holocaust. Lizard people aren't real. Fluoride in the water supply is good for your teeth. The earth is not flat. And it is 4.54 billion years old. And it goes around the sun, not the other way around. There are no chemtrails, just contrails. The Illuminati do not control the music industry. Pizzagate is bullshit. GMOs are just as safe as conventional foods. Organic isn't healthier. It's not better for the environment either. Prayer doesn't work. Astrology doesn't work either. Neither does homeopathy. But vaccines do. And they don't cause autism. InfoWars is not news. Alternative medicine is not medicine. Big PharmaTM is not suppressing a known cure for cancer. Including pot. No, seriously – pot does not cure cancer. Everything is made of chemicals. Trump's inauguration crowd was not the biggest in history. Humans were not healthier 50,000 years ago than they are today. Not 5,000 years ago or 500 years ago either. Guns don't make you safer. Gay sex does not cause earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, droughts, tsunamis, fires, volcano eruptions, landslides, stock market crashes, train derailments, bridge collapses, oil spills, or anything else. There is no Deep State. Taxes are not theft. Microwave ovens don't turn into cameras. Nuclear power is safe. The Big Bang really happened. And it happened 13.8 billion years ago. Anthropogenic climate change is real. All life on earth evolved from a common ancestor via natural selection. There is no evidence for ghosts, an afterlife, Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster, ancient aliens, alien abductions, reincarnation, telepathy, telekinesis, clairvoyance, precognition, the soul, demons, spirits, angels, witchcraft, or magic. There almost certainly is no god. Posted on April 13, 2017 April 13, 2017 Author Godless MamaCategories General Religion, Humanism, Politics, Skepticism, UncategorizedTags Atheism, Evidence, Politics, Skepticism6 Comments on I Have Some Bad News Ten Books That Will Make You an Anti-Theist I don't think there is any doubt that in the aggregate, religion – not just belief without evidence, but organized, capital-R Religion – has historically been and continues to be a bane to humanity. One of the reasons this realization escapes so many people is the cultural deference to religion and its ubiquitous portrayal as inspirational, beautiful, comforting, and wholesome. One must be willing to go out of one's way to get any exposure to the less attractive aspects and effects of religion – but once one resolves to do so, one discovers that the well of evidence that religion is harmful is deep indeed. The following books, which I have listed in no particular order, merely scratch the surface of religious malfeasance. However, they present such damning evidence so persuasively that it would be difficult for any but the most fanatical believer to defend the institutions they expose. Note: These are not books for making people into atheists – that is an entirely different list. God's Bankers by Gerald Posner It may surprise some readers that my selection of an indictment of the Catholic Church doesn't involve the child sex-abuse scandal; indeed, there are many compelling (if horrifying) such works from which to choose. God's Bankers, however, tells a story that is far less familiar to most of us, and reveals a side of the church that is rarely acknowledged but no less sinister. From selling indulgences to wealthy nobles to hiding Nazi gold to laundering money for the mafia to ensuring that individual dioceses held all liability for pedophilia lawsuits, the Vatican has consistently put protection and expansion of its financial assets above all other concerns, even while dictating and legislating the morality of its more than one billion followers. In this exhaustively researched history of Vatican finances Posner offers an up-close examination of the seamy underbelly of what is arguably one of the wealthiest and most powerful – and most corrupt – institutions the world has ever known. God is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything by Christopher Hitchens For those who are already familiar with Hitchens's uniquely delightful, scorched-earth approach to defeating theists of all stripes, God is Not Great is more or less a collection of his most famous and irrefutable arguments, though having been written by Hitchens, no amount of repetition can ever be too much. For those who are less familiar with Hitch, and especially for people newly coming into their own as atheists, God is Not Great will repeatedly make you want to leap out of your chair and shout, "Fuck yeah!" Not only does Hitchens eviscerate the claims of religion, he lays bare the myriad ways it retards human progress and threatens the very survival of civilization. (For those of you who prefer to listen to your books, the audio version has the wonderful advantage of being narrated by Hitch himself.) Caught in the Pulpit: Leaving Belief Behind by Daniel Dennett and Linda LaScola This study of atheist clergy, told mostly in the voices of the participants themselves, gives readers a glimpse into the struggles faced by people who pledged themselves to serve god only to eventually realize that there is no such thing. Trapped by a lack of marketable skills, financial opportunities, and the fear of social rejection – or, in some cases, of the loss of the automatic authority, respect, and stature that comes with the title of Reverend – these individuals struggle with whether and how to leave their ministries and what message to preach in the meantime. It is difficult not to have both empathy for these men and women who, on the one hand, feel betrayed at the discovery that their religion was not what they had always been taught; and contempt for them on the other hand for feeding their parishioners the same misrepresentations and lies of omission that deceived them in the first place. In either case, what the authors and the study participants make clear is that church leaders are duping young people into the clergy, and churchgoers themselves are deeply complicit. Doc: The Rape of the Town of Lovell by Jack Olsen John Story was a gentile doctor in a small Mormon community. Though he was not one of them, he was devout in his own religion and ran his practice authoritatively and with the modern curiosity of an examination table fitted with stirrups, and in short order was one of the most respected and powerful men in town. In the ensuing decades he sexually abused and raped hundreds of women and girls – people who were kept in ignorance about sex and their own bodies based on scriptural demands for feminine chastity and cowed by strict religious conditioning never to question male authority. Women and girls who did speak up were swiftly shamed into silence or punished by their LDS leaders. When enough victims finally came forward, Story's most vigorous self-defense was his claim of devout religious belief, and his strongest defenders all declared that god was on their side. Doc is a chilling tale of how fundamentalist religion grooms women to be victims of abuse and provides safe harbor for abusers. Under the Banner of Heaven by Jon Krakauer From the absurd origins of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints to the disavowal of polygamy that gave rise to the Fundamentalist Church of Latter Day Saints (FLDS), Krakauer delivers a devastating blow to whatever claims of respectability the Mormon Church may still have had. In riveting prose so characteristic of his writing, he weaves the tale of Mormonism's bloody history with the modern story of two brothers who murdered their sister-in-law and her infant daughter because (so they claimed) god told them to. Under the Banner of Heaven makes plain how thin the line is between religious devotion and religious fanaticism and how fundamentalism opens the door to unspeakable atrocities committed without remorse. Beyond Belief: by Jenna Miscavige Hill Many of us think of Scientology as a Hollywood eccentricity that commits no real harm, since its adherents are mostly wealthy celebrities wasting their money on spiritual silliness. I was genuinely shocked at how wrong that perception truly is. Yes, the doctrine of Scientology is blatantly nonsensical and in many ways laughable and it is difficult to understand the mindset that accepts it as plausible, let alone rational. But for the lives of people living within Scientology – teaching their classes, running their hotels and restaurants, building and maintaining their properties, and living in their military-style housing under military-style rules – it is an omnipresent, all-powerful force that controls their every action, punishes them severely for any misstep, and leaves many of them living in fear and servitude. As you read the book make sure you never forget: This organization does not pay taxes. Infidel is the poignant, disturbing, and inspirational memoir of how New Atheist and human rights activist Ayaan Hirsi Ali survived and escaped a life of religious brutality to become a role model and beacon for free-thinkers in the Muslim world and elsewhere. She is unflinchingly honest even on matters that could be less than flattering for her, and she does an admirable job of conveying the mixed emotions of a child who was subjected to terrible things by her family, but loves and empathizes with them nonetheless. Her frank assessment of the role of Islamic ideology in her plight as well as that of millions of other Muslim women, girls, apostates, freethinkers, gays, and secularists has put her in the crosshairs of Islamists and Regressive Leftists alike – and yet I challenge anyone to read her book and then claim with a straight face that her diagnosis of the Islam problem doesn't have merit. A Thousand Lives: The Untold Story of Hope, Deception, and Survival at Jonestown by Julia Scheeres Though it is now the subject of much tasteless humor, the Jonestown massacre was anything but funny – indeed, it was a tragedy and a crime on an almost unthinkable scale. Contrary to what many assume, Jim Jones lured followers to his People's Temple not by starting out as a cult leader who professed that he himself was god, but as an evangelical Christian preacher. Once he had a congregation of fanatically devoted followers, he started singing a different tune – but by then they were already committed to him. When he founded Jonestown he convinced his congregants to relocate there by proclaiming it as their sanctuary on earth; they didn't know that it was the final stage of his years-long plan to kill them all. Add in the fact that a third of the Jonestown victims were children and many were forced to drink poison at gunpoint, and the story is clearly not the light-hearted joke it is so often made out to be. As with so many other tragedies borne of irrational belief, the story of Jonestown reveals how willingly people will act against their own best interests, and even the best interests of their children, when they believe it is sanctioned by god. The End of Faith: Religion, Terror, and the Future of Reason by Sam Harris Any intellectually honest person must admit that there is something happening in the world today that is peculiar to Islam. Unfortunately, the repercussions are not merely peculiar, but deadly and potentially devastating. There is simply no question that people will do irrational, sometimes terrible things when they believe they have divine warrant and in that regard, Islam is no different than any other religion. What does make it different is the frequency and scale with which such warrants are served, combined with the principles of the doctrine itself, in which political conquest is fundamental in a way that has no analogy in other mainstream religions. Beyond the very real threat that Islamism poses to free, secular society, an honest look at the dogma itself shows it to be every bit as heinous as its Abrahamic counterparts, putting the lie to the "religion of peace" canard. As an aside, Harris has become a controversial figure for many of the ideas put forth in this book. I submit that those who make accusations that Harris is racist or supports torture have not in fact read it, or if they have they are knowingly misrepresenting it. Why Are You Atheists So Angry? 99 Things that Piss Off the Godless by Greta Christina When confronted with the question of why atheists are angry (or why we talk about god so much when we don't believe), Greta Christina's list is the best response I have found yet. Her list encompasses religious abuses both great and small, everything from depriving people of basic human and civil rights to creating divisions within families to hampering scientific and social progress. What is unique about her book is not only that she seems to capture every legitimate argument that atheists and anti-theists make against religion, but the compassion she has for believers who, she correctly observes, are themselves often the victims of their own indoctrination and dogma. It is an outstanding manual for summarizing that which many of us often struggle to communicate, and for explaining to the faithful why we feel compelled to discuss religion in spite of not believing in it. What books would you add to this list? Posted on June 1, 2016 June 1, 2016 Author Godless MamaCategories Anti-Theism, Humanism, Morality and Ethics, UncategorizedTags Evidence, Morality, Science, Skepticism16 Comments on Ten Books That Will Make You an Anti-Theist Your Theology Isn't Sophisticated So Just Stop It Image: Royalty-Free/Corbis According to my own experience and an informal survey of every single other atheist that I know, the number one most frequent response to criticism of religion (especially Christianity) by believers is, "You just don't know what you're talking about." To wit: "You cannot legitimately attack The Bible without a solid understanding of it. What I mean is that when you make claims ABOUT The Bible that are contrary to what it actually says it aptly demonstrates your own ignorance and illiteracy of it." "The problem with you atheists is that you don't understand the will of The Most High." "My objection is not with what you do or do not believe, but rather that your post . . . appears to be written by a sophomoric liberal arts student with a chip on their shoulder." "This . . . illuminates the problem with majority of the article: a lack of understanding of what classical theists actually believe." And so on. There's no chance that maybe your religion is writing checks it can't cash – if it stings or makes religion look bad, the only possible explanation is ignorance and a view of theology that is not sufficiently sophisticated. This is complete and utter bullshit. For one thing, this accusation is leveled even when the critique comes from a former pastor or priest, a lifelong believer who recently came to atheism, a seminary graduate, or someone with an advanced degree in comparative religion. Disagreement with any given theist's understanding of scripture is tantamount to ignorance of scripture, no matter how much better the opponent actually knows it. It is interesting to note that many theists take this tack not just with atheists, but with their fellow religionists as well, such as those "liberal" Christians who decry the behavior of the Westboro Baptist Church or Muslims who disavow child marriage. Rarely if ever do we see an admission that those less palatable interpretations are legitimate, if unfortunate. Oh no, we are told – they're just wrong. For another thing, the vast majority of believers possess nothing resembling a "sophisticated" theology. Let's take Christianity in the United States as an example. Three in four Americans believe that the bible is either the literal or inspired word of god. For Christians these numbers rise to a staggering 9 out of 10, with more than half (58%) believing that the bible is the literal word of god. More than 40% of Americans believe that god created humans in their present form in the last 10,000 years. Another 31% believe that humans evolved but that their evolution was directed by god. (Not surprisingly, these percentages correlate strongly with education.) Among white evangelicals in the US, nearly 6 in 10 believe that natural disasters are a sign from god; more than half (53%) believe that god punishes whole nations for their citizens' sins; and two-thirds believe natural disasters are signs we are living in the end times. Nearly 3 in 10 Americans think god determines the outcomes of sporting events; among evangelicals this number rises to 4 in 10 who believe that god determines the winner outright, while about two-thirds say god influences the outcome by rewarding players of faith. More than half of Americans say god is in control of everything that happens in the world. The internet is replete with laments from Christian leaders (such as this article, or this one, or this one) that American Christians are increasingly biblically illiterate. I don't know about you, but belief in a god who sends earthquakes to punish people for having butt sex, chooses the winner of this weekend's NASCAR race, and personally dictated the bible that you've never bothered to read does not strike me as especially sophisticated. Here's the real issue, though. Ultimately, the claims of religion – the very story it's selling – are wholly, unambiguously, ludicrously unsophisticated. Christianity teaches that an omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent, omnibenevolent supernatural being created the entire universe for the express purpose of being worshipped by humans; but he wanted their worship to be voluntary, so he gave them the gift of free will; but he subsequently and for generations punished them severely for not using their free will the way he wanted them to (but already knew they would); so in order to forgive humans for using their free will freely he created himself in human form, executed himself in a bloody spectacle, then came back from the dead and ascended bodily into the sky where he now presides over all human affairs and passes judgment; and that those whom he deems worthy will spend eternity in heaven with him upon their deaths, and those he deems unworthy are condemned to hell to be tortured for all eternity. The rest of the details are window dressing – regardless of whether you take communion, speak in tongues, handle snakes, work on the sabbatth, forbid dancing, or allow women to be clergy, if you are a Christian in any meaningful sense of the word you believe in the divinity and resurrection of Christ and in the crucifixion as atonement for sin. In other words, you believe nonsense. The amateur apologists who wag their fingers at us unsophisticated atheists have to compensate for the fact that the proposition of religion is absurd on its face. The resulting theology, alas, all boils down to a single argument: We don't have to understand because god. Of course this does not prevent them from claiming to understand a great many things – indeed, claiming to know them – as they are forever making unequivocal proclamations about god's desires, intentions, and emotional state. But when push comes to shove, the argument invariably comes down to nothing more than good, old fashioned rationalization: "That doesn't apply because it's the Old Testament." "God cannot be judged by human standards." "That has to be read in the context of history." "That's meant to be metaphorical." "That's caused by humans." "You are thinking in terms of the material world instead of in terms of eternity." "You must feel the holy spirit to truly understand." William Lane Craig himself trumpets the need for apologetics in a post-enlightenment world where "emotion will only get you so far," declaring his dark arts necessary to counter the corrosive impacts of science and secularism on religious belief. Said another way, the truth claims of religion are so manifestly preposterous in light of what humanity now knows about the universe that linguistic sleight of hand is required to ensnare the innocent and hold onto the indoctrinated. No doubt this column will be met with a chorus of smug accusations of, "She doesn't get it! See how unsophisticated she is?!" And those folks will simply be proving my point: If people won't buy what you're selling unless it's wrapped in layers of double-talk and obfuscation, you're selling a lemon. That's intellectual dishonesty, and there's nothing sophisticated about that.

Being that I was in a state of irritation from hours of dealing with Regressive Skeptics I left out a great many items that I wish I had included. This is the list I wish I had posted. For those who have seen the original, please accept my apologies for the repetition, and my thanks to the folks who pointed out conspicuous omissions. For everyone reading, if you want to challenge any of this, please note: The burden of proof is on you. Let's clear a few things up, shall we? Sandy Hook was not a "false flag." Neither was the Boston Marathon bombing, the San Bernardino shooting, the Paris attacks, or any other bombing or shooting. In fact, there is no such thing as a "false flag" (as the term is used in conspiracy circles). We really did land on the moon. The Holocaust really happened. Fluoride in the water supply isn't a mind control experiment – it really is just good for your teeth. Vaccines work and they don't cause autism. Homeopathy doesn't work. For people who have type I diabetes, insulin is not optional. Pot doesn't cure everything. Big Pharma is not suppressing a known cure for cancer. The relative positions of the planets do not determine your personality or your future. The past was not romantic. Life was not idyllic, easy, healthy, or long 50,000 years ago. And jack-booted thugs are not going to kick your door in any minute now to take them away from you. Big Government is not secretly controlling every aspect of human life. Speed limits are not tyranny. Making health insurance affordable is not actually just as bad as slavery. The zombie apocalypse is not coming. The universe started with the Big Bang 13.8 billion years ago. The earth is a sphere that orbits the sun. Evolution by natural selection really happened. In fact, it is still happening. Evidence matters. Even when you don't like it. Even when it contradicts your deeply held beliefs. Even when it makes you really uncomfortable. Evidence. Fucking. Matters.

States › Uttar Pradesh › Pilgrimages › Christian Pilgrimages Christian Pilgrimages in Uttar Pradesh Introduced during the reign of Mughal Emperor Akbar, Christianity started to spread all across Uttar Pradesh along with the establishment of the churches featuring the Mughal, French and Portuguese style of architecture. The oldest church of Uttar Pradesh is St. John's Church in Meerut which was built from 1819 to 1821. The state of Uttar Pradesh boasts some exquisite churches that add to the charming silhouette of its cities and towns. Starting from Lucknow, the capital city has a number of churches, out of which the popular ones are St. Joseph Cathedral Church, All Saints Garrison Church, Epiphany Church, Central Methodist Church, Lalbagh Methodist Church, Dua Ka Ghar and Catholic Diocese of Lucknow. These churches stand tall with divinity and splendour. Showcasing the rich heritage and architecture grandeur, Agra holds stunning religious places in India. Coming to the glorious churches that are set up here include St. Mary's Church, Akbar Church, St. John's Church, St. John's Cathedral, Central Methodist Church and St. George Church. The architecture of these churches dates back to the Mughal era. Churches in Aligarh have an indescribable serene appeal. Taking pride in having some spectacular churches including Church of Ascension, Faith Assemblies of God, Central Methodist Church, City Christ Methodist Church and Assembly of Believers, Aligarh offer a perfect blend of splendid architecture with an enormous sense of divinity. Being home to richly ornate and historically significant churches, Prayagraj with a number of Christian pilgrimage sites attracts a number of devotees. Even though there are many churches, the popular ones include All Saints' Cathedral, Pentecostal Church, St. Peter's Methodist Church, St. Joseph Church and Holy Trinity Church. These churches reflect the colonial, neo-colonial, Indian, Roman, Greek and modern architectural designs. Other than these, there are many other cities and towns of Uttar Pradesh where churches depict a historical and spiritual important past. The Sardhana Church of Meerut reflects an obvious Muslim architectural influence with heavily gilded metal balls surmounted by metal crosses on top of the church domes and spires. Heading to Varanasi, devotees can make a visit to St. Mary's Church, St. Joseph Catholic Church in Gorakhpur and Kanpur Memorial Church in Kanpur to bow their heads in prayers and to witness the exquisite architecture.

Holly Browder is northforker's 'Person of the Year' by Vera Chinese on January 8th, 2015 Riverhead officials had been kicking around the idea of an indoor farmers market for some time, but it was a conversation between Mattituck poultry farmer Holly Browder and former neighbor Christine Kempner that finally ignited the event. Ms. Browder, who owns the organic poultry farm Browder's Birds with her husband, Chris, tapped into her connections in the East End farming community to sell them on the untested idea of year-round Riverhead market — a task easier said than accomplished. But less than two months later, the weekly event was on. Holly Browder at the Riverhead Farmers Market this summer. (Credit: Vera Chinese) On the Riverhead Farmers Market's opening day people stood shoulder-to-shoulder in a long-vacant Main Street storefront, happy to have a central spot to get free-range eggs, artisanal chocolate and locally grown mushrooms. "She was like the vendor corral-er, trying to balance the right type of vendors," said Ms. Kempner, director of Riverhead's Community Development Agency. "She really hustled. These ideas, they're not easy to get done." Ray Pickersgill, president of the Riverhead Business Improvement District Management Association, which sponsors the market, agreed. "If you travel this country, in every city on their main street, they have a farmers market," he said. "I had been talking about doing a winter market for years. She was able to get the farmers to participate." The event not only brings droves of people downtown every weekend, it provides East Enders with year-round access to locally produced goods and gives artisans and farmers a way to connect with customers during the slower season. "It's been one of the more successful downtown projects in terms of foot traffic generation," Ms. Kempner said. "It adds texture and community to Riverhead." For her efforts in launching the year-round Riverhead Farmers Market, we honor Holly Browder as our first-ever Northforker Person of the Year. Mr. Browder said his wife is passionate about supporting local food producers and sustainable farming. "She wants the small farmers out here to succeed. It's something she wants for all of us," he said. "A rising tide floats all boats. She wants everybody who is legitimate in small farming to be successful if they can." He credited her friendly personality for helping make the farmers market a success. "I think people in general like Holly, she's very outgoing," he said. "She's a master at marketing, public relations, social media. She's really, really good at that. It's helped us in our business enormously." Vendor Luchi Masliah of Gula Gula Empanadas noted that the market draws from both forks and west of Riverhead, which expands the reach of a small company like hers. That exposure will be especially helpful when she opens her first storefront in Mattituck this spring. "The winters can be very long sometimes, because we don't have access to the customers who frequent the farmers market," Ms. Masliah said. "To open those doors for all of us really created an opportunity. "With the kind of work [Ms. Browder] does, the fact that she has the time to do something like this, is phenomenal," she continued. "She comes across as somebody who totally loves what she's doing. She seems dedicated to her work." Thomas Hart, a 30-year-old livestock farmer who interned with the Browders after graduating from college, described Ms. Browder as kind and patient with her customers and livestock. Plus, he said, her cooking gave him the sustenance he needed to endure a long day on the farm. "I told Chris the only reason I continued to come back to processing days was because Holly always made us lunch," Mr. Hart said. "But in all seriousness, my wife and I have become good friends with Holly and Chris over the years and I give them both a ton of credit in helping me get to the point I'm at right now. "I give her a lot of credit for spending all the time and effort to foster a community of sustainable-minded farmers on the North Fork," he said. Mr. Browder admitted life as poultry farmers isn't a walk in the park, as the work is physical and their animals need to be fed 365 days a year. Still, he said, they're glad they chose this path. "It's fun being entrepreneurs, creating our own farm and business," he said. "We much prefer living this lifestyle." Vera Chinese has been the editor of northforker.com and northforker magazines since May 2014. Prior to that she spent two and a half years as a staff reporter for the New York Daily News. She joined the Riverhead News-Review as a staff writer in January 2010 and was named Associate Web Editor nine months later. She previously worked for the Southampton Press Western Edition and was named the third place 2008 Rookie Reporter of the Year by the New York Press Association. She graduated from Wagner College in 2006 where she received a bachelor's degree in English. She earned a master's degree in English education from New York University in 2007.

There are many choices, but how we walk through it, what kind of intention do we hold? One intention can be soul growth and inner peace. I think I really do like that intention. So as we're on the path of life journey, it's really important to understand that people are brought into our lives for healing. And these people are our teachers. Even if we think we know more than them, they are teachers because they help us go inside and look at the parts of ourselves that need healing. These teachers can be family members, they can be friends, and they can even be strangers. Ultimately these teachers are there to help shine a light on the part of us that needs healing or what I call a dense part of ourselves. But this is what's really really important, we all have soul contracts and we do have soul contracts with these teachers. So it is really important that we learn how to hold the space. So for instance let's say we have a child that will not follow rules or we want a different outcome. It's really important that what were able to do is step back and understand that that person also has a contract. Learning how to hold the space for someone else and yourself and not interfering in someone's soul contract is absolutely vital.

PR Newswire was a distributor of press releases headquartered in New York City. The service was created in 1954 to allow companies to electronically send press releases to news organizations, at first using teleprinters. The founder, Herbert Muschel, operated the service from his house in Manhattan for approximately 15 years. The business was eventually sold to Western Union and then United Newspapers of London. In December 2015, Cision Inc. announced it would acquire the company. On January 1, 2021, Cision formally merged PR Newswire into the company, ending its status as an legal entity after 66 years.

Wouldn't it be totally cool if companies could track where their employees are? Yes – but in today's world of safe spaces and political correctness, it may also be impractical or even self-defeating. There's something about companies wanting to monitor the whereabouts of their employees that has everyone chasing their collective tails. But what if it turns out that what the facility managers, CFOs and workspace designers want to know about employee movement and activity is actually the exact same thing employees want to know for themselves? It can be easy to get involved in discussions about issues such as colleague-finding and planning for emergency evacuations. There are ways to know exactly where Joe and Cathy are at any given time, for sure. It can be done and it's useful to know. But as a person who often over-thinks everything from what shirt to wear or which entrée to order, I wonder if it's time to under-think this particular issue. What about just giving employees information for their own benefit – by enabling flexible working, and making their day at work smoother simply because they can find a quality space to work, reserving it online with desk booking software. And how about we give them great desk management in a way that transparently also gives corporate decision-makers some cool stuff too? Like how many people are where at what times – and maybe even why they are there. Wouldn't it be totally cool if companies could inexpensively and easily extend their employee vision into the fabric of their workspaces in a way that made the office a more enjoyable and productive place? We know how great space utilisation pays off (see this case study). And wouldn't it be totally cool if that same information gave management enough information about utilisation to make better informed decisions about the square footage the company needed? Yes… It Would Be Cool. For Everyone. So turns out the best way to deal with Big Brother may be…not to deal with it at all. Stop trying to track the "who", and start empowering everyone with useful data on how many, where, when and why, supported by useful desk booking software.

It literally shattered the polish into thousands of pieces after less than a day wear. The same happened on each nail, so it's not about the Flormar polish. :/ Unlike the Rimmel, the Flormar polishes have a very good quality, those who need some basic shades, should really check them out here. Every polish I used is from Nailland Hungary, you can order them and lots of others from their webshop.

Archive for May 7th, 2009 President Obama's 'notorious tax havens' Cayman News | 07/05/2009 | 7 Comments On Monday May 4, 2009, US President Barack Obama took the first steps toward making good on his campaign promise to finance his initiatives and social programs "by closing corporate loopholes and tax havens that don't help America grow". President Obama served notice to offshore jurisdictions worldwide, announcing his intentions to reshape the US Tax Code and, in the process, eliminate the loopholes that allow U.S. corporations to use offshore financial jurisdictions. President Obama highlighted the Cayman Islands as one of the "notorious tax havens" targeted as a financial jurisdiction they feel is assisting U.S. corporations and individuals to avoid potential tax exposure. Similar sentiments were echoed by Prime Minister Gordon Brown on March 4, 2009 before the U.S. Congress, "How much safer would everybody's savings be if the whole world finally came together to outlaw shadow banking systems and outlaw offshore tax havens?" What's at stake for the US and UK? The Obama administration states that closing these loopholes would generate approximately $200 billion in tax revenue over the next decade. In a report by the U.S Government Accountability Office "Eighty-six of the 100 largest publicly traded U.S. corporations had foreign subsidiaries and sixty-three of the 100 largest publicly traded U.S. federal contractors in terms of fiscal year 2007 contract obligations, reported having subsidiaries in jurisdictions listed as tax havens or financial privacy jurisdictions." By some estimates reported in The Wall Street Journal "$700 billion or more in U.S. corporate earnings have accumulated in overseas accounts in recent years." In the U.K. the BBC has reported that "According to one estimate tax havens cost the U.K. revenue at least £18.5billion every year – a loss which has to be made up by ordinary tax payers." It is therefore understandable that we find ourselves under attack from foreign governments seeking to recoup some of these losses. Governments around the world have communicated their desires to shut down offshore jurisdictions for years, but none have been as persistent as the current administrations we now face. They have been backed into a corner and are now forced to find funding while facing a global economic crisis. However, with the current status of the world economy the consequences that would come with these tax initiatives are far more widespread and damaging than the administrations wants to admit. The proposed changes to tax codes would leave multinational corporations at a great disadvantage, essentially leaving them unable to compete against companies operating in countries with less tax exposure. Such a scenario would ultimately lead to many of the companies the administrations are trying to protect, vulnerable to takeover by foreign competitors. Some estimations state that approximately 50% of our GDP can be attributed to the financial services sector. However I believe that the loss of any portion of this industry would have a much more severe impact that 50%. We cannot pretend that this will quietly go away; instead we now have to be proactive and deal with the reality that these administrations want their money back. At last month's G20 meeting in London the so called "notorious tax havens" had little or no representation at the table during discussions that have the potential to significantly impact us. This is not just a problem for Cayman; these initiatives will impact many of our neighbours including the Bahamas, Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, and the Turks and Caicos. I find it curious that the countries with so much to lose have not come together to refute the claims made against them. For example, at last months Summit of the Americas, the Cayman Islands was not represented. It is ironic that the countries we find pointing fingers at our financial industry today such as the US and UK fail to recognize the regulatory failures in their own systems; essentially trying to pass the buck on to countries with little voice on the world stage. The global economic meltdown has just started to have visible effects on our Islands, and it is now time for us to reassess ourselves and start the reforms and re-inventions necessary to sustain ourselves through these uncertain times and beyond. This is just one of the many issues confronting us today. The good news however, is that we still have the capable people and financial resources necessary to develop the policies and strategies necessary to reform and re-invent the product that will allow us to adapt to these difficult times. There is no international rescue plan for the Cayman Islands; we must rescue ourselves. In order for Cayman to remain a significant player in the world financial industry we have to utilize the best and brightest minds we have available, in both the public and private sectors. However time is against us and the time for talk is over. It is now time for us to take action but the first action must be to elect the right people on May 20, 2009. Derrington Bo Miller is an Independent Candidate for the District of George Town Lions give to Seamen and Veterans (CNS): On Saturday, 26 April, the Cayman Brac Lions club made a donation of CI$500 to the Cayman Brac and Little Cayman Veteran and Seamen's Society, which will go towards the re-building of the center after being destroyed by Hurricane Paloma last November. The club continues to play its part in helping to improve the community of Cayman Brac and is encouraging other organizations and companies to support the Veteran and Seamen's society by making donations to assist them in the rebuilding process.

Get travel documents in order (CNS): People travelling to the US on the Visa Waiver Programme (VWP), including those with a British passport should be aware that it only operates for commercial flights and they need a US visa if travelling on charter or private flights, including an air ambulance. Those nationals looking to travel under the VWP should also apply online for Electronic System for Travel Authorisation (ESTA). Anyone who may wish to travel to the US either before or immediately after a hurricane must make sure all their travel documents are in order. It is extremely unlikely that anyone without appropriate documentation will be allowed to enter the United States in any circumstances, according to the Governor's Office. Copies should be made of key documents, including passports, birth certificates, work permits and drivers' licenses, and stored in a safe place, separate from the originals. The original documents should be kept with you in waterproof bags or containers during any emergency situation, particularly in the event of an approaching hurricane or tropical storm. British passport holders should note that an application for a passport renewal has an 8 – 10 week turnaround time. Those people with passports expiring in the next six months should not send them away for renewal unless they have a second passport that could be used in the event of an emergency. US Immigration will accept a machine-readable British passport with at least one month's validity. British passport holders should note that they are able to renew their passports at a Passport Office in the UK providing the holder is in the UK at the time.

Caribbean big fish declining (ScienceDaily): Sharks, barracuda and other large predatory fishes disappear on Caribbean coral reefs as human populations rise, endangering the region's marine food web and ultimately its reefs and fisheries, according to a sweeping study by researcher Chris Stallings. While other scientists working in the Caribbean have observed the declines of large predators for decades, the comprehensive work by Stallings documents the ominous patterns in far more detail at a much greater geographic scale than any other research to date. Cuban rafters' bodies ID'd (CNS): Days after Tropical Storm Fay swept through the Florida Keys last August, four decomposed bodies chewed by sharks were discovered floating by fishermen and boaters over a 33-mile stretch. Their faces were unrecognizable. Their identities a mystery. But desperate families from Miami to Havana thought they knew who the victims might be: men from a group of eight who fled Cuba on a homemade raft to avoid being jailed for their human rights activism. "I began getting Q-tips in the mail from Cuba," said detective Terry Smith of the Monroe County Sheriff's Office. "The families were trying to send us swabs . . . to be tested for DNA. They were so frantic to try to identify their loved ones." Cops don't want Jones back Cayman News | 07/05/2009 | 25 Comments (CNS): Existing officers within the Royal Cayman Islands Police Service (RCIPS) may not welcome suspended Chief Superintendent John Jones back with open arms. CNS has learned that the Cayman Islands Police Association may be preparing to make it known that they do not want the Chief Superintendent to return to his post. While Jones has persistently said all he wants is to return to his job, even if he his exonerated and reinstated, his troubles may not be over. The Chief Superintendent was suspended by the governor in March 2008 along with Commissioner Stuart Kernohan in connection with the so called Netnewsgate and Deputy Commissioner Rudy Dixon for unrelated investigations as a result of enquiries by the Special Police Investigation Team, which began working in Cayman in September 2007. Since that time Jones has remain suspended on full pay while SPIT continued Operation Tempura and Marlon Bodden was placed in this job as acting Chief Superintendent last year. Since the departure of SPITS' SOI Martin Bridger last week, Acting Commissioner James Smith cleared both Jones and his former Colleague Kernohan of any criminal wrong doing. However, Smith stated last Friday that investigations were still continuing with regards to whether or not there would be any disciplinary action regarding Jones. While Kernohan has already been dismissed, Jones contract was due to end this month, but CNS has learned from other sources that this may have already have been renewed despite the objections to the senior cop's return from within the service. "I believe they may be walking off the job," one former police officer told CNS with regard to the feelings of those currently serving in the RCIPS. A police spokesperson said no comment when asked about this situation. The instability within the police as a result of the suspensions and the investigation has been blamed for the decline in both police morale and the increase in resignations as crime stats climb. Following Kernohan's dismissal by the governor last year, over which Kernohan is now seeking damages, the search for a new commissioner began. Last month an announcement was made that David Baines from the Cheshire police service in the UK would be taking up the permanent post as of 1 June, surprising many people in the community who expected the job to go to APC Smith. Cayman can be centre of learning says BT candidate (CNS): The Cayman Islands could become a centre for excellence when it comes to further education, says independent Bodden Town candidate, Justin Woods. When it comes to finding a viable third pillar to help prop up the local economy behind financial services and tourism, the local businessman said that it has already been demonstrated with St Matthews Medical School that Cayman has the potential to bring more further education institutes to the island as well as develop and expand those that already exist, such as UCCI. Speaking at a political meeting at the Bodden Town Post office on Tuesday evening (5 May) Woods suggested that there was considerable untapped potential in the business of education. "We have veterinary school, a medical school, a law school as well as UCCI where we can develop the potential for learning here," he said. "We can have children coming here to learn." He added that this was a business that would be constantly renewed. Talking with CNS he said this was an idea he had been considering for many years and said with the Marine institute in Little Cayman as well, there was a significant opportunity to develop new business for the country by expanding courses on offer for overseas students. He said with Cayman's reputation as a financial services sector the country could develop a specialist business management courses designed to meet the needs of those looking to study the offshore sector which would also have enormous benefit for our own students. "It's a no brainer and I can't understand why it has not been developed," he added. Woods also spoke about the need for a new kind of representation from politicians as he said it takes an election for the people to see their representative. He said politicians spent more time arguing with each other in the Legislative Assembly than taking care of the needs of the people. He said the district of Bodden Town had been neglected but there was a lot of need in the district so it was time to give people the tools to advance themselves and not give them handouts. He estimated that there were as many as 3000 Caymanians out of work but the country had some 27,000 permits with no policies in place to address that or make people's lives better. "What is going to happen to our people?" he asked stating that it was time to change things by electing people who cared and who were able to make the changes to make a better life for Caymanians. He also said that the delays on addressing the flooding on Bodden Town were unacceptable when all it required was a pumping station and that the claims by government that the Savannah gully wall had been held up by planning were not true as planning had approved the wall some time ago but the government had not provided the financing. However, Anthon Eden recently stated at a Chamber Candidate's District Forum that the delay was down to objections to the plans to build the sea wall by residents in the area which had only recently been addressed and the project was now slatedto go ahead. Woods also spoke about rising crime, the glass ceiling for Caymanians in the civil service, the failure to promote Cayman as a tourist destination overseas and the money that was being spent on buildings without any investment in people. He said government was spending and borrowing millions of dollars while Caymanians were out of work. He asked the people to think very carefully on Election Day and to consider if they were better of today than in the past before they marked their Xs. "If you elect me I will be a different kind of representative," he said adding that if the people wanted better for their children he was the one they should vote for. Deadline approaches for candidate's withdrawal (CNS): The deadline for candidates to withdraw from the General Elections, which will take place on Wednesday, 20 May and for candidates to nominate their agents, who will be permitted to attend the polling stations and counting of the ballots, is this Saturday 9 May, Supervisor of Elections Kearney Gomez said today. He reminded all candidates of a provision in the Elections Law which states that a candidate may withdraw his candidature if he gives the notice in writing to the district Returning Officer. "This notice must be given at least 10 clear days before Election Day," Gomez said. The Supervisor explained that in order to get back the $1,000 deposited on Nomination Day, candidates must produce their receipts and said that all of this information is repeated in the Candidates, Agents and Observers Handbook, which was given to all candidates when they were nominated on 25 March. Both the Election Law and the Handbook also detail the conditions for appointment of agents. A candidate may nominate two polling agents to attend at polling stations and two counting agents to attend the counting of the votes at each counting station. The agent must be a person who is entitled to vote in the district in which the candidate has been nominated and the agent may be appointed on behalf of more than one candidate and may be both a polling agent and a counting agent. The Elections Law requires that each appointment be in writing, including the agent's name and address, and be signed by the candidate. Agents will be seated in the election polling stations so they can see and keep a record of each person who comes to vote. They cannot see how the person votes. They cannot interfere with proceedings, except to object if they believe a voter is misidentifying himself or has already voted. The Presiding Officer will question the voter accordingly. Candidates and their agents will not be permitted in the polling stations where voters cast ballots for the Referendum. The Elections Office, located on the second floor of the Smith Road Professional Centre, will be open until 5pm on Saturday.

With these neutral beauties on, you'll be totally OK with those massive rain puddles situated on every single sidewalk corner. Ever heard of a sun shower? This cheery pattern is its clothing equivalent. Style up this jacket with a navy blue dress and playful tennis shoes. There's nothing worse than unintentional mascara tears. Load up your lashes with a waterproof formula that will still make 'em pop. Maybe if you carry a cute umbrella you won't forget it all the time. It's worth a try! A damp laptop is a damaged laptop. Keep it safe and sound (while looking super chic) with a trendy backpack in a waterproof fabric. The smell of wet dog isn't exactly spring's most celebrated fragrance. Save your pup from that odor catastrophe with a repellent coat. For once, your strands will be pleased with the never-ending showers. This phone case will protect your life (we're obviously talking about your phone) for up to 30 minutes underwater. We're assuming you'll remember you dropped it in the pool before that time frame is up. Pucker up and apply a lip color that won't wear off in the rain or after sipping on your water bottle.

Home Bayonne Development Proposal Could Bring 19 Units to Bayonne Development Proposal Could Bring 19 Units to Bayonne Jared Kofsky Site of proposed development: 425-429 Avenue C, Bayonne. Photo via Google Maps/Street View. Plans to bring a new residential development to a Bayonne intersection could possibly be approved this week. A firm called 425-429 Avenue C Bayonne Realty Urban Renewal, LLC is proposing a five-story building for 425-427 and 427A-429 Avenue C, at the corner of West 18th Street in the Hudson County city. A legal notice issued late last month shows that the project calls for 19 residential units in a building that would be nearly 62 feet high. 19 parking spaces would be provided on the premises, some of which are described as "mechanical 'stacked' parking spaces." The property is located one block west of the Broadway business district and is served by the 81 and 120 New Jersey Transit buses to Lower Manhattan and Jersey City.

I am always fascinated by legal immigrants who left their loved ones and their homes behind, came to this country, and made America a special place unlike any other on earth. Their individual stories of true grit and endurance in the face of adversity gives our American citizens their unique character and cultural fabric. In 2011 1.1 million aliens received legal permanent resident (LPR) status on the basis of family ties (65%), employment (13%), as refugees and asylum seekers (16%), and as diversity migrants (5%), a category established arbitrarily since we already are the most diverse nation.

Arnold Waldo is boycotting products made by the H.J. Heinz Co. The Carrick resident who is near his 83rd birthday knows that losing his business is probably not going to make or break the Pittsburgh-based food company that reports billions in sales annually. But for him the symbolism is strong. Mr. Waldo started work for Heinz in 1951 and — except for a stint in the military — worked there until his retirement in 1985. He had several aunts who also worked for the company that was founded in Sharpsburg in the 19th century and employed generations of Pittsburghers at both its headquarters and its former North Side plant. A few months ago, the company — which was acquired for more than $28 billion by new owners last June — sent a letter telling him that his annual retiree reimbursement account to cover certain medical expenses was being cut from $3,500 a year to $1,093. Then the mailbox delivered another blow from Heinz. The company doesn't want to manage his pension plan anymore. "At Heinz, we are committed to being the best food company in the world and pension plan management is not our core competency," said the letter dated Feb. 26 sent to people like Mr. Waldo who were involved in one of two pension plans covering salaried employees and nonunion hourly workers. The Pension Rights Center has concerns, arguing that both offering people lump-sum buyout offers and transferring pensions to insurance companies in the form of annuities could open retirees up to new risks. Individuals may not be prepared to invest the sums properly to make the money last, and they'll no longer be backed by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp. Instead, the annuities will be insured by State Guaranty Associations, which vary from state to state. Heinz has also merged two other plans, known as Plan B and Plan C, which cover both active and former employees covered under collective bargaining agreements, said Mr. Mullen. That second combined plan is not being terminated, but the company is offering lump sum payments for vested participants and annuities for retirees already receiving benefits. In the case of Mr. Waldo's plan, Heinz is offering those who have not started getting benefits the option of getting a lump sum payment. If they reject that, the company will purchase an annuity from an insurance company approved by government regulators. Participants can expect to receive a lot more letters and updates as Heinz works its way through the IRS and other agencies assigned to regulate pensions, said Donald Fuerst, senior pension fellow at the American Academy of Actuaries in Washington, D.C. In buying annuities, Heinz will be required to choose an insurance company large enough to securely handle the size of its plans. When GM made the move a couple of years ago, the sheer size of the pension plans limited its options. (May 12, 2014) -- The Connecticut General Assembly has approved a bill to create and fund the Connecticut Retirement Security Board, a group tasked with studying the feasibility of a public-run savings system for private-sector employees. The system's foremost goal, according to the legislation, would be to increase participation in quality retirement plans without adding to the state's debts or liabilities. The defined contribution plan would be designed to require minimal financial knowledge from participants, and to incur "low administrative costs…limited to an annual, predetermined percentage of the total plan balance." A successful scheme would reduce the need for public assistance by offering workers a structure in which to pre-fund their own retirements, according to the law. As referenced, this decision by the court in the Eastern District of Michigan came to the opposite conclusion of previous decisions in the Northern District of California in Rollins v. Dignity Health (Court Finds Plan Sponsored by Catholic Hospital is NOT a Church Plan) and the District of New Jersey in Kaplan v. Saint Peter's Healthcare System (Court Finds St. Peter's Pension Plan is NOT a Church Plan & A New Case is Filed in Chicago). Interestingly, the court here found that the use of the phrase "includes" rather than "subject to" made the difference in the court's interpretation that Section (A) was not a "gatekeeper" to Section (C). Notably, the court did not directly address the fact that the word "established" is missing from the second part of Section (C), which was so important to the previous two court's decisions. It is not surprising that different courts have come to different conclusions as to the proper interpretation of the church plan exemption found in ERISA. We've guessed since these cases were filed, that the "final" answer, if there is one, will end up coming from the circuit courts, if not the US Supeme Court. Big companies like automaker Ford, aircraft builder Boeing and beverage king Coca-Cola are planning to cut the cash they put into employees' pensions this year. Investors are hoping to get their hands on the money instead. Thanks to the rising stock market and higher interest rates, companies aim to cut contributions to their employee pension plans by 28% or $16 billion this year to $40 billion, says research firm International Strategy & Investment, based on estimates provided by the 345 companies in the S&P 500 that still have pension plans. These expected 2014 pension contribution cuts come after the companies already reduced their pension contributions 27% in 2013 to $56 billion, the lowest contribution since 2008, ISI says. That's all money investors hope will be coming their way in the form of dividend hikes or stock buybacks. Investors hope the money not being put into pension plans, if not paid out as dividends, might benefit them indirectly through the purchase of capital equipment, which could boost profit in the future. The companies expected to get the biggest boost to cash flow by cutting back their pension contributions include Ford, United States Steel and motorcycle maker Harley-Davidson, ISI says. All these companies, plus tech services firm Computer Sciences, insurer Marsh & McLennan, defense contractor Lockheed Martin, lab services company Perkin Elmer, defensive contractor Northrop Grumman and auto-parks maker BorgWarner, are all expected to enjoy 13% or higher boosts to cash flow due to pension contribution cutbacks, ISI says. Investors had better not assume this cash is coming their way, though. Companies are infamous for underestimating how much they need to contribute to their pension plans, ISI says. Companies end up contributing more to pensions than they expect 71% of the time, ISI says. If the plans' investment returns come in below expectations, a possible scenario given the market's poor showing this year and a decline in interest rates, the cash may not be up for grabs, after all. Also, new mortality tables and pension regulations could boost the requirements for pension contributions, ISI says. (May 17, 2014) — US firms with underfunded defined benefit (DB) plans are likely to have high cash holdings, according to research. Neeru Chaudhry of Monash University in Australia argued that plan sponsors may intentionally decide to underfund their pension plans largely to "use retained funds for different activities" and increase their cash holdings. The research studied over 3,000 US firms with DB plans from 1980 to 2012 and found plan sponsors have withheld contributions to pension funds with either a precautionary motive associated with cash flow volatility or with an intention to save more cash. Legal and audit expenses: $147,140. Income from sponsors and royalties: $647,633. Profits from games broadcast on TV, radio and the Internet: $66,095. All of the above are part of the Illinois High School Association's most recent audit filed with Illinois attorney general, covering the 2012-2013 school year. But because the high school sports governing body is a private, not-for-profit organization, it doesn't need to report anything more about its legal fees, pension costs or the terms of its sponsorship and television deals. About six years ago, the association switched employees to a 401(k) plan because its pension plan — modeled after the state Teachers' Retirement System — had become too great a financial burden to keep extending to its 25 full-time employees. Employees who were in the plan had their years of service capped as of July 1, 2008. Still, the association paid $425,000 into its $8.7 million pension fund last school year — and expects to pay out more than $7 million in pension benefits between this school year and 2023, records show. WON'T ANYBODY THINK OF THE CHARITIES AND VOLUNTEERS?! The army of volunteers looking after Britain's historic homes and monuments could disappear as the pensions crisis makes wealthy, time-rich retirees a thing of the past, the head of English Heritage has warned. Heritage charities currently rely on "well-off, fit and healthy people who have nothing to do", Simon Thurley said. But the decline in pension pots, coupled with older people being forced to work for longer, could seriously deplete the number of volunteers in coming years. English Heritage currently relies on 8,000 volunteers who provide their time for free, helping to run sites including Stonehenge, Dover Castle and Rievaulx Abbey. Speaking at the festival, Thurley said: "People are going to work longer, their pensions aren't going to be as good. At the moment we're enjoying an extraordinary period with very wealthy pensioners with time on their hands. SEATTLE, June 6, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Milliman, Inc., a premier global consulting and actuarial firm, today released the results of its latest Pension Funding Index (PFI), which consists of 100 of the nation's largest defined benefit pension plans. In May, these plans experienced a $29 billion increase in pension liabilities and a $19 billion increase in asset value, resulting in a $10 billion increase in the pension funded status deficit. "In every month of 2014 so far we have seen a decline in interest rates," said John Ehrhardt, co-author of the Milliman 100 Pension Funding Index. "These pensions have experienced a $43 billion increase in assets, but the market gains have been dwarfed by a $125 billion increase in liabilities." Looking forward, if the Milliman 100 pension plans were to achieve the expected 7.4% median asset return for their pension portfolios, and if the current discount rate of 4.06% were maintained, funded status would improve, with the funded status deficit shrinking to $241 billion (86.0% funded ratio) by the end of 2014 and to $187 billion (89.2% funded ratio) by the end of 2015.

In the past month or so, millions of Americans in traditional private pension plans have received their annual "Dear Participant" letters from their employers and former employers about the funded status of their pension plans in 2013. This letter has long been an annual joke, containing up front a bold-face advisory that "you are not required to take any action." From that line to the wastebasket is often a short toss. This year, however, there's real information in the letter. It shows that a "reform" bill signed into law in 2012 has taken hold to reduce the security of most pension beneficiaries in the U.S. The law changed the way pension sponsors are required to estimate the present value of their future liabilities. That change reduces the annual payments that sponsors are required to make to keep their plans solvent. In some cases, it frees the sponsors from making any payment at all. In no case does it actually reduce the pension benefits that have been promised—it just cuts the official estimate of those benefits, and it cuts the amounts that plan sponsors must contribute. It lulls everyone into a false sense of security. Before that bill passed in 2012, company sponsors of pension plans were required to use the average of interest rates over the previous two years when calculating the present value of their future liabilities. Interest rates being unusually low the past few years, the required calculation produced a high estimate of the liabilities, which produced a high estimate of funding shortfalls and high minimum funding requirements. Under the new law, companies must use a 25-year average of interest rates. The result is a higher discount rate, a lower estimate of the funding shortfall, and a lower minimum-funding requirement. The Society of Actuaries surveyed U.S. Department of Labor filings from 6,692 pension plans with more than 100 participants. The interest-rate change applied to 5,425 of them in 2012. There were magical improvements in funding ratios, with the average funding rising from 88% of the legal target in 2011 to 102.9% of the target in 2012. The aggregate funding requirement for the affected plans dropped by $29 billion. Results for 2013 are likely to be even more comfortable for employers. The same highway bill, which ironically was titled the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act, also raised revenue the opposite way, by increasing pension security. It raised the per capita premium for federal pension insurance from $35 per participant to $49 this year, indexed to inflation thereafter. The American Academy of Actuaries recently scolded Congress for indulging in these revenue offsets. Its Pension Finance Task Force sent a letter to congressional leaders, warning, "Extending these temporary provisions accelerates tax revenue while deferring the pension cost to future generations, distorts the pension measurements, and undermines the benefit security of plan participants while increasing the risk exposure to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp." Actuaries don't pave highways, or please constituents. Congress isn't listening. A senior Democratic congressman is urging Labor Department Secretary Thomas Perez to examine possible conflicts in the growing number of U.S. pension-plan consultants that also manage investments, according to a document reviewed by The Wall Street Journal. In a letter to the Labor Department, U.S. Rep. George Miller (D., Calif.) said the trend "appears to create significant and inappropriate conflicts" within the $6.5 trillion pension-fund industry. He asked the Labor Department to "take a careful look at these practices" as it considers a new rule governing the conduct of advisers to retirement plans. A Labor Department spokesman acknowledged receipt of the May 21 letter but declined further comment. Consulting firms are hired by cities, states, corporations and others to provide impartial guidance to retirement plans. But an increasing number of those firms also offer to help manage those pension assets or select a fund's investment managers. More than 75% of pension-consulting firms registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission act as both investment managers and outside consultants for their clients, according to reports filed on the SEC website. Some of the nation's largest public pension funds already bar consultants from acting as investment managers because of concerns about the dual roles, but many don't. An SEC investigation found in 2005 that some consultants had accepted payments from money managers even as they offered advice about which managers to choose, while the Government Accountability Office said in 2007 that annual returns were 1.3% lower for pensions that hired consultants who failed to disclose such conflicts. The Labor Department eventually ordered consultants to disclose more about their compensation—a move designed to root out any conflicted business relationships, or "pay to play" arrangements. "Just because a consultant graduates into investment management does not necessary constitute a conflict" as long as the pension plan "goes through an appropriate fiduciary process," said Brian Graff, executive director of the American Society of Pension Professionals & Actuaries, which represents pension consultants and other firms that provide services to retirement plans.
