Why Catholics And Muslims Alike Come To Pray At This Shrine To Mary | What's In The News?
The Shrine of Our Lady of Lebanon has drawn Muslim visitors since it opened in 1908, said the shrine's rector, Father Younen Obeid, in a recent video produced by Catholic News Service. They come as tourists, but also to pray and participate in Christian ceremonies at the site.
"All of [the Muslim visitors] have big respect for Mary," Obeid said.

Author(s) Bio
Reginald Pole (1500-1558), cardinal and archbishop of Canterbury, was at the centre of reform controversies in the mid 16th century - antagonist of Henry VIII, a leader of the reform group in the Roman Church, and nearly elected pope (Julius III was elected in his stead). His voluminous correspondence - more than 2500 items, including letters to him - forms a major source for historians not only of England, but of Catholic Europe and the early Reformation as a whole. In addition to the insight they provide on political history, both secular and ecclesiastical, and on the spiritual motives of reform, they also constitute a great resource for our understanding of humanist learning and cultural patronage in the Renaissance. Hitherto there has been no comprehensive, let alone modern or accurate listing and analysis of this correspondence, in large part due to the complexity of the manuscript traditions and the difficulties of legibility. The present work makes this vast body of material accessible to the researcher, summarising each letter (and printing key texts usually in critical editions), together with necessary identification and comment. The first three volumes in this set will contain the correspondence; the fourth and fifth will provide a biographical companion to all persons mentioned, and will together constitute a major research tool in their own right. This first volume covers the crucial turning point in Pole's career: his protracted break with Henry and the substitution of papal service for royal. One major dimension of this rupture was a profound religious conversion which took Pole to the brink of one of the defining moments of the Italian Reformation, the writing of the 'Beneficio di Christo'.
Thomas F. Mayer is Professor of History and Chairman of the Center for the Study of the Christian Millennium, Augustana College Rock Island, USA.
'Mayer's edition of Pole's correspondence. . .will be a major gift to Reformation research'. Journal of Ecclesiastical History '... a valuable resource for scholars working across the political, literary and theological spectrum.' Recusant History '... a most valuable source book for scholars of the English Reformation and Catholic Europe... it is no exaggeration to insist upon the outstanding contribution which Mayer has here made in the first of three volumes to be completed by a fourth, biographical volume, which should make of the whole a landmark in European historiography.' Journal of Ecclesiastical History '... for anyone with a serious interest in this frustrating but important man, Mayer's work is an essential vademecum. It is also a comprehensive guide to the relevant archival resources, and to the state of Pole scholarship from the seventeenth century to the present day. Nobody knows his way around this particular part of the scholarly world in the way that Mayer does, and we must be grateful for this additional work of guidance.' Archiv für Reformationsgeschichte 'This volume has set a high standard for the rest of the project, being admirable both in its scope and impeccable research... this project can be considered definitive for Pole's surviving correspondence. Detailed footnotes, an index to persons cited in the correspondence, assiduous dating and rigorous explanation combine to create an unquestionably scholarly volume, yet one which is highly accessible.' Sixteenth Century Journals 'Thomas Mayer has performed a considerable service in editing for publication the vast bulk of the extant correspondence of Cardinal Pole...' Renaissance Quarterly '... will be a useful resource for many, and forms part of an important wider project.' History 'It can be said without qualification that Mayer's Calendar, especially volume 3, covering the years 1554-1558, should become the first port of call for all future students of Pole...

'Special player': Draymond Green's No. 23 to be retired by Michigan State
Matt Charboneau
East Lansing – Another jersey will hang from the rafters at the Breslin Center.
Michigan State coach Tom Izzo announced Monday that former Spartan and current member of the Golden State Warriors Draymond Green will have his No. 23 retired during a ceremony on Dec. 3, the same night No. 1 Michigan State hosts No. 4 Duke in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge.
"Draymond has been a special player," Izzo said. "He's a guy that's always made other people better. I think that's what our program stands for. He's given me, personally, so much. The phone calls, the talks, the times I've gone out there. It's been one of those relationships that are second to none to me, and to hoist his (uniform) up there will be a special night."
Green will be the 10th player to have his number retired at Michigan State and No. 23 will be the ninth number – Johnny Green and Shawn Respert both wore the retired No. 24.
In his four seasons at Michigan State, Green scored 1,517 points, good for 18th all-time at MSU, and he helped the Spartans reach two Final Fours. As a senior in 2011-12, Green averaged 16.2 points, 10.6 rebounds and 3.8 assists a game while being named national Player of the Year by the NABC and earning Big Ten Player of the Year honors.
Michigan State not ready to 'abandon ship' after tumbling to .500 Michigan State takeaways: Mark Dantonio is grasping at straws Matt Charboneau and John Niyo break down MSU's loss to Penn State Niyo: Michigan State has another bye week to keep faithful from bailing
A consensus first-team All-American that season, Green was then selected 35th overall by the Warriors. He's gone on to win three NBA championships, make the All-Star Game three times and was named NBA Defensive Player of the Year in 2017.
In 2015, Green donated $3.1 million to the basketball program, with most of the money being allocated to build the new weight room at the Breslin Center.
"Through all his success, he never forgot where he came from," Izzo said. "Michigan State and Saginaw have been very important to him. He wants to do all he can do as evidenced with the money he gave here and the things he's done up in Saginaw.
"He's always talking to our players about helping them achieve what he's done, and maybe the most important to me is my relationship with Draymond has been special. I could yell at him and he could yell at me. It was unique. Sometimes it was father-son, sometimes it was coach-player, and now it's friend-friend."

The Studio Museum in Harlem Is Expanding Its Closely Watched Residency Program to Include a Mentoring Role for a Midcareer Artist
Artist Jacolby Satterwhite will take up the new position in 2020-21.

The Studio Museum in Harlem's artist-in-residence program is renowned for identifying talented emerging artists and helping them achieve wider recognition. This year, the program, which will take place digitally, is expanding to include a mid-career mentoring resident in addition to the usual three residents.
Joining the program in 2020–21 are Texas Isaiah, Genesis Jerez, and Widline Cadet, as well as Jacolby Satterwhite in the mid-career role. Satterwhite, who enjoys a level of institutional support already, will work in a mentoring capacity to the other residents.
The residency program is the hallmark of the Studio Museum, and has helped launch the careers of artists of African and Latinx descent since its inception in 1968. Arthur Jafa, Kerry James Marshall, Senga Nengudi, Simone Leigh, and Carrie Mae Weems are all among its notable alumnae.

The addition of a fourth artist is the latest twist in a program that has been evolving over time. Its emphasis on painters was upended in 2019 with the appointment of the internet-based artist E. Jane and musician and performance artist Elliot Reed (along with painter Naudline Pierre), and this year's selection is similarly diverse.
Texas Isaiah and Wildline Cadet are both photographers who delve into themes of identity through portraiture. Genesis Jerez is a painter who works in mixed media, and Satterwhite is a genre-bending video artist who incorporates digital avatars, live performance, and immersive installations. He has previously collaborated with Solange and had a solo show at Brooklyn art space Pioneer Works in 2019.

The program went off-site in 2018 as the Studio Museum's building began undergoing a $122 million renovation. Now, the program has become more flexible in terms of studio space, which will continue even as the lockdown throws a wrench in artists' plans.
"It's a year to experiment," associate curator Legacy Russell told the New York Times, emphasizing the importance of supporting artists during these turbulent times.

Pelion is a part of Greece that is filled with interesting and exciting things to do and places to see. From ski and winter sports at the famous Agriolefkes ski centre, to trekking and excursions by 4x4, there is always something for everyone to do and enjoy in and around Pelion.
At the "Arhontiko Belian" we are very happy to be able to organise for our guests a fantastic selection of activities, that will be full of interest, fun and inspiration.
Throughout the year, one can always take part in adventure and activities here in Pelion, and this is one of the reasons that Pelion is so popular, all year round. From water sports during the summer, to ski trekking in the winter, you will always be able to experience a wide selection of activities in Pelion.
Below you will find information about some of the activities that we at the "Arhontiko Belian" can help organise, which we are sure will make your Pelion experience all that more exciting and interesting.
At a distance of 100meters from the Traditional Mansion Belian lies the magnificent beach, which compliments your holidays with the best way. The crystal clear water is very clean and rich in fish. This means that you will have the chance for fishing with rods or even with a boat. Out in the open sea you can see early, in the morning or at sunset, groups of dolphins that swim through these waters. The beach has rich vegetation, and golden sand that turns to pearly white tiny pebbles as it reaches the water.
Although this is one of the most beautiful beaches in Pelion, it is a remote and isolated beach, that is not very busy, making it ideal for peace and relaxing under the summer sun. If you have the necessary equipment for water sports, you can bring it here by the sea with a boat from Kalamos village. The beach here is ideal for water sports. This beach is very tranquil and as you walk along the water you will find small shells and beautiful pebbles, ideal for a collection or summer souvenirs from your holidays.
If you have with you food and water you can have a nice picnic and stay all day, as the trees offer shade during the hottest hours of the day. Watching the sunset on this beach is a magnificent and tranquil experience, and if you are lucky you can see the dolphins passing, adding a remarkable feeling to whole setting.
Belian is small but picturesque hamlet of Pelion, surrounded by green and rich vegetation. It is a small paradise ideal for walks and trekking, as through the natural paths you can explore and discover picturesque and quiet beaches, magnificent sceneries with beautiful views, and most of all warm smiles and a welcoming atmosphere.
Having water supplies and wearing proper walking shoes, you can follow the path that runs parallel to the sea, leading to the villages Paou, Lefokastro with its stone built arched bridge, up to the village of Kalamos, where you can stop for a nice meal at one of the traditional taverns that are situated next to sea. The path goes through mountain vegetation and olive trees, giving you the chance to sample Pelion nature, while its herbs, forest fruits and plants create a peaceful and tranquil environment.
At some points the distance of the path from the sea varies from 5 to 20 meters, offering a magnificent view towards the crystal waters of the Pagasitic Gulf, which alternates with the greenery and the blue sky.
One of the most unique and adventurous ways to explore and appreciate the nature and magic of Pelion. These 4x4 excursions will take you around Pelion, across rugged paths and over the mountains that one would not be able to do in a regular vehicle. These 4x4 excursions are extremely popular, and offer a true adventure, which will stay with you forever.
Another unique way of exploring Pelion is by horse. We can organise groups for horse trekking excursions, where you will be able to wonder around some very secluded and beautiful parts of the region.
The famous steam train of Pelion is one that has a great history behind it, and is an activity that every visitor to Pelion should take. This delightful steam train will take you on a journey through many villages of Pelion, over the stone-arched bridges, where you will see the stunning landscape and imagery that Pelion is so famous for.
During the winter months, visitors from all across Greece and beyond head to Pelion to enjoy winter sports and ski at the famous Pelion ski centre of Agriolefkes. This unique ski centre provides first rate facilities, as well as views and scenery that will both inspire and enchant you.
The neighbouring island of Skiathos, that forms the group known as the "Sporades" is one of the most beautiful and green islands in the whole country. Visitors here will enjoy peace, tranquility and picturesque views, that will be a treat for both the heart and the mind. These boat trips are perfect for a day trip for all the family.
We can also help with the rental of boats for our guests, where they can venture out into the Pagasitic Gulf, and enjoy some truly peaceful moments. All across the coast of Pelion, you can find empty deserted beaches, tranquil hamlets, and places where you can enjoy perfect moments, floating on the blue green waters.
If you would like any further information about these activities that we are able to organise for you, please feel free to contact us. We will be more than happy to help with any questions you may have.

The issue of bagging contracts for amounts far less than specified in the tender notification was seriously debated at the Karnataka Development Programme meeting held here on Friday. The issue came up when infrastructure works being implemented by the Public Works Department (PWD) were taken up for review.
Minister for Medical Education Sharan Prakash Patil and Minister for Information Technology and Bio-Technology Priyank Kharge identified a number of works being implemented at up to 32 per cent less than the amount specified and expressed serious concerns over quality.
"Notorious contractors bag government contracts by bidding far less than the amount specified in the tender notification. If a work that can only be finished in Rs. 1,000 is given for Rs. 700, how can the contractor ensure quality as he would also take considerable profit?" the Ministers said.
They expressed further discontentment when they were told that the Department was involving only the in-house quality control wing and not a third party for ensuring quality of works. "I don't know what amount a successful bidder bagged a work for. I want the work completed as per the specifications detailed in the tender notification. I will get random quality checks done without anybody's knowledge. If anything is found wrong and sub-standard, I will hold executive engineers responsible and take stringent action," Mr. Patil warned.
He directed the officers to closely monitor such works and make payments only if quality work was done. "If low-amount bidders are forced to maintain quality, they will incur losses and thenceforth stop bidding for such amounts," he said.
Mr. Priyank Kharge took an officer of Gulbarga Electricity Supply Company (Gescom) to task for not cooperating with PWD and Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Department officials. "Despite repeated written and oral requests, you are not shifting electric poles wherever civil works such as road construction and road widening are to be taken up. Because of your lethargy, many works remain unfinished for a long time," he said. He asked Chief Executive Officer Anirudh Sravan P. to send a list of pending pole-shifting works to Gescom and give a deadline to finish them.


By AGENCE FRANCE PRESSE, ISLAMABAD, Pakistan, May 30 – Pakistan and India have promised to end ceasefire violations in disputed Kashmir, their militaries said, following the highest levels of violence between the nuclear-armed rivals in the restive region in 15 years.
Dozens have been killed in border clashes in recent months along the Line of Control, the heavily militarised de facto border dividing the Himalayan territory, leaving residents terrified.
This month, shelling and gunfire along the frontier dividing Indian-held Kashmir from Pakistan's Punjab province — known as the working boundary — killed at least 16 people, while 80,000 people on the Indian side fled their homes to escape the violence.
But the Pakistani military said late Tuesday that the two sides had pledged to respect the conditions laid out in a 2003 ceasefire inked by the rivals, following a call on the hotline between the militaries.
Both militaries "agreed to fully implement the ceasefire understanding of 2003 in letter and spirit forthwith and to ensure that henceforth the ceasefire will not be violated by both sides," the Pakistani side said in a statement.
On Wednesday officials on the Indian side of the working boundary said the situation was returning to normal.
"Most of the villagers who had fled have returned to their homes. The situation is normal at present. There is no one in the relief camps now, but we have kept them open just in case something happens again," Hemant Kumar Sharma, a local commissioner, told AFP from Jammu.
The flare-up along the working boundary came after India suspended military operations against Kashmir rebels for the Muslim holy month of Ramadan that began earlier this month. Militants have rejected the truce offer.
Kashmir has been divided between the arch-rivals since the end of British colonial rule in 1947. Both claim the former Himalayan kingdom in full.
India has about 500,000 soldiers in the part of Kashmir it controls, where scores of armed groups are fighting for independence or a merger with Pakistan.
New Delhi accuses Pakistan of fuelling the insurgency that has left tens of thousands of civilians dead, a charge Islamabad denies, saying it only provides diplomatic support to Kashmiris' right to self-determination.
Independently confirmed data on cross-border clashes is virtually non-existent, but figures given by both sides show a powerful, sustained surge in violence along the LoC in the past two years that has intensified since the start of 2018.

About three weeks ago, my son started playing soccer on Saturday mornings. The kids don't actually play games, but Emmett gets to burn energy dribbling the ball around with his best friend, Ethan. And despite the fact that Ethan seems to have a lot more interest in flirting with the instructors than kicking balls around, the socializing is probably the most important part of the whole activity – Emmett is cavorting with other kids in a way that really has nothing to do with me or his mom. It's important to me, anyway. I'm not sure if some of the other parents would agree given how they loom over their kids the whole session.
Except a lot of parents seem to feel an obligation to serve as sentinels throughout these sessions. It's always most pronounced when the kids are sitting Indian-style in a circle listening to the instructors. Six to eight parents (always guys who looked like they played football or hockey in their youth and got soft as they aged) loom over the affair like guards standing over their prisoners. It's creepy. It reminds me of those scenes out of fantasy books where the orcs are deciding which humans to eat. Why?
I suppose there are probably three reasons for Looming Parent Syndrome (LPS). Reason number one is to make the kids feel safe. Ceding responsibilities for your kids' wellbeing is terrifying, particularly when they're tiny. I remember the first day we dropped Emmett off at daycare, feeling like a failure because, long ago, I'd quit a job where I was making enough money for my wife to stay at home with the kids. It was shocking how quickly those feelings morphed into a different type of inferiority complex: that I couldn't provide the level of engagement daycare did on a daily basis. But I digress. I think it's safe to say that hovering over your kid like a vulture looming over a dying cow is a bad way to nurture independence, particularly if there's an area 20 yards away that's specifically designed for looming. My gut reaction is that this is 75% responsible for LPS.
Reason number two: one don't trust the instructors. This is the most common explanation offered up when I discuss LPS with others. I suppose there are probably a few parents who home school their kids and pass on the whole Halloween thing because they're afraid that teachers or peers or whoever are going to convince their kids that God doesn't exist or that heroin is a good substitute for candy. I don't buy it, though, especially when you can stand 20 yards away accomplish the same kind of micromanagement. I'm guessing this is 5% responsible for LPS.
Reason number three is to fill some void in one's own existence. I sympathize with this explanation because it urges me to hop onto the field myself. I sneak out of the house at 5am during the week, and creep back in at 7 in the evening. I don't think my kids miss me a quarter as much as I miss them. Now, imagine you're a divorced parent or have to work two jobs or whatever. You probably want your kid to play soccer not just because he/she will have a hoot, but because it's a way to publicly show the world, "Hey, I'm a good dad, too!" I think there are better ways to feel connected with your kids and to demonstrate good-dadness than awkwardly encroaching on a play area where yours is just one of many kids who deserve their own space, but maybe I'll change my tune when my kids abandon me after I go blind and incontinent. My hunch is that personal voids account for 20% of LPS.
Whatever the reason, I hate it. I haven't asked him, but I wonder what Emmett things about LPS and whether it makes him nervous. I've kept my mouth shut because there's nothing more annoying than someone interfering with your parenting style, no matter how awful it may be. If you suffer from LPS and are reading this blog, though, please seek help!
That may not be a bad thing. I finished reading Middlesex about a year ago, and one line from the book really stuck with me: "Everyone struggles against despair, but it always wins in the end. It has to. It's the thing that lets us say goodbye." On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to 0. In an evolutionary sense, it's only natural to welcome that next big step when things start to fall apart, right?
The corollary to the "you're bitter when you're old" theorem is "you're sweet when you're young"
To be honest, thinking about the quote really made me feel better about how things were with my parents as they moved on. I feel like I spent a lot of time trying (and failing) to make them happier as their health started to deteriorate. They resisted, and seemed to embrace all the negativity in a way that left me feeling utterly hopeless; but at the ends of ends, there wasn't regret or fear, just a readiness that maybe I wasn't willing to accept, but they certainly were.
Now, the complication for me relates to a quote from A Game of Thrones: "Death is so terribly final, while life is full of possibilities." If you buy that there's something hardwired into us such that we're more willing to move on, what are the implications of modern existence where you don't really need to be able to kill bears to survive? Have you ever seen the "Uncle Frank Tribute" from Jimmy Kimmel Live? At some point, Uncle Frank remarks, "I've done more in these years, fun-wise, than I've ever done in my life." He was in his 70s when he made that remark, and I'm sure it's not exaggeration. There are possibilities in old age now that didn't exist in the past, possibilities to make the world a better place not just for our friends and relatives, but society as a whole. Will we, as a species, rewire to focus on the joys of living?
Maybe Uncle Frank went reluctantly, terrified and screaming, as he moved on to other things. I doubt it. Was he an exception to a rule? I'm at that age where my friends' parents are all 'being difficult' as they break down physically. Do I tell them that it's only natural, or do I try to convince them to fight?

Mafé, known in English as groundnut stew, is an iconic African dish, popular throughout West Africa. This rich meat stew is thickened with ground peanuts, which give it a wonderful sweet-salty flavor. Ingredients and flavoring vary somewhat by region.
Alternate names and spellings for mafé include maffé, sauce d'arachide, sauce z'ara, tigadèguèna and tigadene.
Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high flame. Add the beef and saute until lightly browned on all sides, 5 or 6 minutes. Remove to a bowl and set aside.
Add the onion to the oil in the pot and saute until translucent, about 3 or 4 minutes. Stir in the garlic and ginger and saute another 1 or 2 minutes.
Return the beef to the pot, stir in the tomato paste and cook for about 1 minute. Stir in the chopped tomatoes and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes to reduce the volume of the tomatoes somewhat.
Add enough water or stock to loosen the dish to a stewlike consistency. Simmer for another 10 minutes.
Stir in the peanut butter and salt and pepper to taste. Cover loosely with a lid and simmer for another 40 minutes, or until the beef is tender and oil rises to the surface of the dish. Add water as necessary to keep the dish stewlike.
Adjust seasoning and serve with rice or couscous.
Meats: Use goat instead of beef. Or use chicken cut into serving pieces.
Vegetables: Make mafé a full meal by adding vegetables. When you stir in the water or stock, add vegetables like cabbage, yams, squash, okra, eggplant, potatoes, peppers or carrots. For vegetarian Mafé, eliminate the meat and use only vegetables.
Some recipes call for cooking the peanut butter with the tomato paste, before adding the chopped tomatoes. This will caramelize the sugars a bit, giving additional depth to the sauces flavor.

Q: Woocommerce products shortcode - Divi theme In a woocommerce installation with Divi theme installed I am using products shortcode: [products limit="-1" columns="3" per_page="12" paginate="true"] . In functions.php I am trying to filter the products displaying by using woocommerce_product_query but it is not working. I am still getting all the products
function my_pre_get_posts_query2( $query ) {
    $query->set( 'post__in', [245609, 245610]);
}
add_action( 'woocommerce_product_query', 'my_pre_get_posts_query2', 9999, 1 );

A: You can do that in two ways:
1. By adding attribute "ids" in the product listing shortcode
[products limit="-1" columns="3" per_page="12" paginate="true" ids="245609, 245610"]

2. By filter hook for product shortcode to add the attribute ids
Something like below,
add_filter( 'woocommerce_shortcode_products_query', 'woocommerce_shortcode_products_by_specific_ids' );

function woocommerce_shortcode_products_by_specific_ids( $args ) {
    $args['ids'] = array(245609, 245610);
    // if above line not working then try with below line
    // $args['ids'] = "245609, 245610";
    return $args;
}

Q: Intent Bundle returns Null every time? I have some extras sent to a new intent. There it grabs the bundle and tests if it is null. Every single time it is null even though I am able to get the values passed and use them.
Can anyone see what is wrong with the if statement?
Intent i = getIntent();
Bundle b = i.getExtras();
int picked = b.getInt("PICK");
int correct = b.getInt("CORR");
type = b.getString("RAND");
if(b == null || !b.containsKey("WELL")) {
    Log.v("BUNDLE", "bun is null");
} else {
    Log.v("BUNDLE", "Got bun well");
}

EDIT: Heres where the bundle is created.
Intent intent = new Intent(this, app.pack.son.class);
Bundle b = new Bundle();
b.putInt("PICK", pick);
b.putInt("CORR", corr);
b.putString("RAND", "yes");
intent.putExtras(b);
startActivity(intent);

A: I don't think the problem is that your bundle is null. It can't be because you'd get a NullPointerException much sooner.
The problem is that your error message is wrong. Change this:
if(b == null || !b.containsKey("WELL")) {
    Log.v("BUNDLE", "bun is null");
} else {
    // ...
}

To this:
if (!b.containsKey("WELL")) {
    Log.v("BUNDLE", "bundle does not contain key WELL");
} else {
    // ...
}

And the reason why the bundle doesn't contain this key, is because you didn't add it.

A: Well, you test b == null after using it, which must be wrong. Also are you missing  the initial if?
After edits

You don't put "WELL" inside the bundle, so the string "bun is null" is logged. The b must be non-null or you would have a crash at your hands. Try changing your if sentences to this and report what you get:
if (b == null) {
    Log.v("BUNDLE", "bun is null");
} else if (!b.containsKey("WELL")) {
    Log.v("BUNDLE", "bun doesn't contain WELL");
else {
    Log.v("BUNDLE", "Got bun well");
}

A: I change your if statement to match the log message.  Please run the program and check the log message.
if(b == null) {
    Log.v("BUNDLE", "bun is null");
} else {
    if (b.containsKey("WELL")) {
        Log.v("BUNDLE", "Got bun well");
    }
}

ECLAC and the Summit of the Americas
The ECLAC Washington Office serves as liaison with the Government of the United States, the Government of Canada and international organizations based in Washington, D.C. Through research and technical assistance the Office contributes to the analysis of the economic relations between Latin America and the Caribbean, the U.S. and Canada.
The First Summit of the Americas took place in Miami, Florida December 9 to 11, 1994. The meeting produced a Declaration of Principles and a Plan of Action signed by all 34 Heads of State and Government in attendance.
The Heads of State and Government of the Americas, the architects of this new system, decided to meet on a regular basis in order to define the fundamental precepts of the new Hemispheric agenda. This decision to institutionalize the meetings led to the notion of a "Summit process", where experiences are accumulated, a common language is forged and mandates for collective action are programmed, systematizing the new theoretical and practical references in hemispheric relations.

Armed police are on patrol at the Riverside Festival in Leicester today following the terror attack in London last night.
The event is taking place around Western Boulevard, Bede Park and Castle Gardens in the city centre and West End.
Police had announced this morning that they would be patrolling events going on around the county today to reassure the public.
In statement earlier today, Assistant Chief Constable Rob Nixon, who is overseeing the force's response to last night's incidents, said: "I do not want anyone to be alarmed if they see armed officers out and about today. I would hope that everyone will understand it is a necessary but proportionate step in the light of last night's terrible events.
"We know from recent events that the vast majority of our communities understand why we need to deploy armed officers in more overt ways at certain times, and that they welcome such deployments.
"Residents and visitors alike planning to attend events or other attractions today need to remain vigilant and aware of their surroundings, and in particular anyone who they believe may be acting suspiciously.
"We will be monitoring the situation throughout today and reviewing, in the light of any announcement from the Prime Minister, our armed response capability and what, if any further, action and changes we need to take to keep people safe."
The Metropolitan Police has set up a casualty bureau for anyone concerned about a relative who may have been in or around London Bridge or the Borough of Southwark last night.
It is 0800 0961 233 .
The Met has also asked that anyone who has images or film of last night's incidents to pass those to police by uploading it at www.ukpoliceimageappeal.co.uk .
If you have information about possible terrorist activity, call the police anti-terrorist hotline: 0800 789 321 .
You can also call Leicestershire Police on 101 to report anything that you consider suspicious or connected with terrorism.

Northeast strives to shed its anti-business reputation
By Rushworth M. Kidder Staff writer of The Christian Science Monitor
January 3, 1983 | Boston
If you didn't know better, you might still see Massachusetts as a bastion of liberalism - a state so traditionally left-leaning that it alone voted for George McGovern in the 1972 Nixon landslide.
But as outgoing Gov. Edward J. King, a conservative Democrat, looks back over his four-year record, what makes him most proud? His probusiness record.
''We've cut income taxes twice, 1979 and 1982,'' he says, sitting in shirt sleeves in his large corner office in the state capitol. Ticking off the ''successes'' of his term, he includes yearly cuts in capital-gains taxes, two cuts in unemployment taxes and excise taxes, and cuts in property taxes in three of his four years. ''I'm for profit,'' he adds.
He is not alone in the Northeast. In one of the most far-reaching but least noticed political turnarounds in the history of the 11-state region (New England , New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Maryland), state legislatures and administrations are racing each other to establish what Pennsylvania's secretary of commerce, Geoffrey Stengel Jr., describes as ''a positive, predictible, and competitive climate for job and business growth.''
They are fighting a deeply rooted reputation: that their region has some of the highest taxes, costliest social services, stiffest regulations, and most antibusiness attitudes in the nation. Over the years, observers say, the business-exists-so-that-we-can-tax-it attitude helped drive investments elsewhere - especially to the Sunbelt states.
But in the past several years, commerce departments up and down the corridor have been echoing Mr. Stengel's assertion that ''we basically want to stay out of the way of the private sector.''
''Born-again capitalists'' is the way the region's political leaders are described by Dr. James M. Howell, senior vice-president and chief economist of the First National Bank of Boston. He says the ''dramatic shift in the attitudes of elected leaders'' has been especially noticeable since the mid-1970s.
Before then, says New York investment banker Felix G. Rohatyn, ''we took a kind of Ivy League approach to the world - we just sat back and admired our factories and financial institutions.'' The assumption was that businesses would continue to locate in the Northeast, as they had since the Industrial Revolution. ''The industrial Northeast never had to advertise,'' adds Joseph F. DeFuria, a development manager for the Public Service Electric & Gas Company in Newark, N.J.
But the 1975 recession - and aggressive advertising from the Sunbelt states, where taxes, energy costs, and wages are often lower - jolted the Northeast out of its Yankee reserve.
Among the more visible signs of this turnaround:
* Most significant are the legislative changes. The New York Legislature has cut the top rate of personal income tax from 15 percent to 10 percent (on the way, state officials say, toward 5 percent), and has passed some 75 probusiness pieces of legislation this past year alone.
Pennsylvania has repealed a law requiring a 90 percent prepayment of business income taxes. New Jersey has reorganized and upgraded its Department of Commerce and Economic Development, and Gov. Thomas H. Kean has promised to veto a recent proposal to increase in the personal income tax rate.
Similar changes are sweeping through the other states as well. Maryland and Connecticut have eliminated sales taxes on manufacturing machinery. Delaware has cut its top rate of personal income tax from 19 percent to 13.5 percent. Rhode Island has just finished rewriting its workmen's compensation laws in ways more favorable to business. Maine will shortly be announcing major new programs in public facilities, job-training, and river development and hydropower projects. New Hampshire has amended its industrial revenue bonding legislation to allow financing of commercial (as well as industrial) projects. And Vermont has given local communities (through their town meetings) the right to work out tax-stabilization agreements with incoming businesses.
Most observers see the trend continuing. Democratic Govs.-elect Mario M. Cuomo of New York and Michael S. Dukakis of Massachusetts are expected to continue in the probusiness directions set by their predecessors. In New Hampshire, Republican John Sununu won after pledging to veto any attempts to levy state personal income taxes or sales taxes.
* A number of states are mounting slick advertising campaigns. Governor King has promoted the ''Make it in Massachusetts'' bumper stickers. New York, broadening its original ''I love New York'' tourism promotion, has budgeted $4.3 million for its new ''Made in New York'' campaign.
''You've got a friend in Pennsylvania'' is the Keystone State's slogan. Maryland runs full-page advertisements picturing a carrot with the words: ''The incentives have never been bigger.'' Rhode Island has songs plugging ''The biggest little state in the Union.'' And New Jersey, a relative late-comer in the game, is actively seeking a slogan.
* Backing up these campaigns in every state are increasingly sophisticated industrial development authorities (IDAs). They are designed to woo domestic and foreign industrialists into the state - and to ensure that manufacturers already there stay and expand. Pennsylvania, for example, operates five overseas offices and maintains 127 local IDAs. New York has just hired 29 young MBAs to provide closer ties between the government and the state's manufacturing firms. ''The major activity has been in retaining what we have,'' says William E. Redmond, executive deputy commissioner in New York's Department of Commerce.
The result of these efforts, says David D. Arnold, executive director of the Policy Research Center of the Coalition of Northeastern Governors, will not be a ''smokestack-chasing mentality.'' He sees increasing emphasis on small business and high-technology enterprises.

Good news: GutsyCall.com now redirects to Obama campaign site
Allahpundit May 05, 2011 9:15 PM ET
Click GutsyCall.com and see for yourself. Hey, give the guy credit: How many Americans can there be who'd gladly give the order to kill Osama Bin Laden?
A domain lookup reveals that the owner is privately registered with GoDaddy, so there's no way to tell whodunnit. Reid Wilson of Hotline claims that O's campaign owns the URL but cites no evidence of that. The phrase, which plays off something John Brennan said at Monday's presser on Bin Laden, isn't a term people will naturally search for the way, say, a candidate's name is. So unless the White House bought it and reserved it for some sort of future OBL-themed campaign webpage — which would be the consummate example of, ahem, "spiking the football" — then I'm thinking the guilty party is probably just some random adoring O-bot or mischievous conservative Obama critic. Then again, precisely because the term "gutsy call" is unlikely to be searched, it seems odd that political reporters would have discovered it so quickly. Who tipped them off to its existence?
As for whether the Abbottabad raid really was a gutsy call, the argument rests partly on Obama's own perceived weaknesses. There'd be huge risk involved under any president, of course: The choppers could have been shot down; the SEALs could have been stranded and forced to fight their way out a la Mogadishu; the compound could have ended up belonging to some random family in a case of mistaken identity. Any of those scenarios would have produced a horrible international clusterfark — and for Obama, they'd probably have finished him politically. The comparisons to Carter and Desert One would have haunted him until election day as proof of his inexperience and counterterrorism haplessness and he surely knew it when he gave the order. So yeah, he took a significant risk, especially since the CIA was never quite 100 percent confident that Bin Laden was at the compound. On the other hand, given the sluggishness of the economic recovery and the fact that, until Sunday, his big accomplishment this year had been releasing his birth certificate, the risk was less than it might have been. And had it emerged later that the CIA had a pretty good idea of where OBL was (60-80 percent confidence, per Panetta) and yet O didn't act, he'd be roundly attacked for his timidity. So he gambled on the fact that the SEALs would come up big and that it would give a shot in the arm to the war on terror, his reelection bid, and the country at large. Jackpot. Now all he has to do next year is explain why the GOP nominee wouldn't have made this same gutsy call and he's in business.
The latest from Bin Laden's compound, meanwhile: According to some of the computer data seized in the raid, Al Qaeda was hoping to launch attacks on the 10th anniversary of 9/11. (Nothing concrete was yet planned.) Quote: "The evidence appears to confirm that Bin Laden still had a role in approving al Qaeda plots, just he did for the 9/11 terror attack."

Who is archaeologist Laird Niven on The Curse of Oak Island?
Wed Nov 22, 2017 at 3:54pm ET Sat Jul 04, 2020 at 3:54 pm EDT
By James Wray
Laird Niven, who has been involved in many high-profile digs, on The Curse of Oak Island
The latest episode of The Curse of Oak Island sees archaeologist Laird Niven return to the show as the team continue their treasure-hunting exploits.
Niven previously featured on the series back in Season 4, including when he was called upon in Episode 2 to examine the mysterious "hatch" that was found.
Laird is one of Nova Scotia's leading archaeologists and has been involved in a string of interesting digs over the years, appearing in the news several times in the past when projects he's been working on have unearthed something of note.
Get our The Curse of Oak Island newsletter!
Back in 2011 he was involved in a dig in Halifax where he and his team were investigating the early origins of the city and in particular Bellevue House, which was built in 1801 for the commander of British regiments stationed there.
The team at the time said they were pretty sure nearly every member of the British royal family who previously spent time in Halifax would have visited the house, including the likes of Edward VII visiting in 1860 when he was still Prince of Wales and the future George V staying when he was commander of a warship.

Sir Francis Drake was my maternal 1st cousin 14 times removed .
Here Niven is talking about finds from another dig he was involved with in the city's Argyle Street:
Beyond Oak Island: The guys search for Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid's hidden gold
Niven — who judging by the caps he always wears on The Curse of Oak Island is a fan of the British soccer team Newcastle United — has also worked on various other sites across Canada and is based out of Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, where he also studied at university.
Archaeology work is generally carried out very slowly with everything documented extremely precisely. Many digs involve teams working on their hands and knees with small tools as they get close to the layer they are interested in.
This contrasts with much of the work being done on The Curse of Oak Island where heavy industrial equipment is being used to shift tonnes of spoil.
However, because of the large amount of previous excavation work on the island the more careful approach is perhaps not as relevant.
The Curse of Oak Island airs Tuesdays at 9/8c on History.

Influence of age on the standardised ileal amino acid digestibility of maize and barley in broilers
M. Barua1, M.R. Abdollahi1, F. Zaefarian1, T.J. Wester1, C.K. Girish2, P.V. Chrystal3 and V. Ravindran1 1Monogastric Research Centre, School of Agriculture and Environment, Massey University, New Zealand 2Nutrition and Care, Animal Nutrition, Evonik (SEA) Pte. Ltd, Singapore 3Complete Feed Solutions, Auckland, New Zealand
Grains are the major energy sources in broilers. However, they also supply about 40% of the total dietary protein and contribute significantly to the provision of some indispensable amino acids. Despite the low protein content in maize, owing to its higher inclusion levels (50-70%), it may contribute approximately up to one-third of the protein requirement of broilers.
Standardised ileal digestibility coefficients (SIDC) of nitrogen (N) and amino acids (AA) in maize and barley in broilers at six different ages (days 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, and 42) were investigated. Two assay diets were formulated with the similar inclusion level (938 g/kg) of each grain as the sole source of AA. Titanium dioxide was incorporated as an indigestible marker. The assay diets, in pellet form, were fed to six replicate cages housing 14 (day 7), 12 (day 14), 10 (day 21), 8 (day 28), 8 (day 35), and 6 (day 42) birds per cage for four days prior to digesta collection from the terminal ileum. The apparent ileal digestibility coefficients (AIDC) were standardised using age-appropriate basal endogenous AA (EAA) losses determined in a previous study from birds fed an N-free diet. No age effect (P>0.05) was noted for the SIDC of N in maize. But the average SIDC of indispensable (IAA) and total AA (TAA) was influenced in a quadratic manner (P<0.05) with the values being higher at day 7 that decreased at day 14, increased and plateaued between days 21 and 35 with a further decrease at day 42. The average SIDC of dispensable AA (DAA) was influenced linearly (P<0.05) with higher values at day 7. In barley, the SIDC of N, average IAA, DAA and TAA was affected (quadratic; P<0.001) by age. The digestibility increased from days 7 to 21, and then plateaued up to day 42. The present findings suggest that the SIDC of AA in maize and barley are influenced by broiler age and that the age effect on AA digestibility may need to be considered for precise feed formulation.
The inclusion of barley in poultry diets remains limited because of relatively low metabolisable energy, high content of fibre and high soluble and insoluble non-starch polysaccharide (NSP) contents. Because of their viscous nature, the water-soluble fractions of NSP in barley exert a negative impact on the digestion and absorption of nutrients, including amino acids. Despite the potential effects of age, only sporadic and inconsistent data exist on the age influence on AA digestibility of ingredients in broilers. Although several studies have reported the ileal digestibility of AA in a range of feed ingredients, only a few exist on the age-related standardised AA digestibility and the data are limited to two or three specific broiler ages. To the authors knowledge, no studies have investigated the standardised ileal digestibility coefficients (SIDC) of AA in maize and barley from hatching to the end of growth cycle of commercial broilers. The current study was designed to determine the SIDC AA in maize and barley at six different ages (days 7, 14, 21, 28, 35 and, 42 post-hatch) of broilers.
Two experimental diets were developed with similar inclusions (938 g/kg) of either maize or barley as the only source of AA in the diet. The diets were steam-conditioned at 70 °C for 30 seconds and pelleted. Titanium dioxide (5 g/kg) was incorporated in both diets as an indigestible marker. A total of 696, one-day-old male broilers (Ross 308) were raised in floor pens and fed a commercial broiler starter diet from days 1 to 21 and a commercial broiler finisher diet from days 22 to 42 in pelleted form. On day 1, 168 chicks were individually weighed, and allocated to 12 cages (14 chicks per cage). The remaining chicks were allocated to 12 cages for ileal AA digestibility determination at 5 different ages, namely day 7 (12 birds per cage), day 14 (10 birds per cage), day 21 (8 birds per cage), day 28 (8 birds per cage), and day 35 (6 birds per cage). The test diets were offered for 4 days [days 3-7 and 10-14 (crumbled); days 17-21, 24-28, 31-35, and 38-42 (pelleted)] prior to ileal digesta collection. On days 7, 14, 21, 28, 35 and 42, all birds were euthanised by intravenous injection of sodium pentobarbitone and the digesta were collected from the lower half of the ileum and pooled within a cage. Representative diet and digesta samples were analysed for dry matter, titanium, N and AA. The apparent ileal digestibility coefficients (AIDC) data were standardised using the basal endogenous N and AA (EAA) losses measured in a previous study at different ages (days 7, 14, 21, 28, 35 and 42) of broilers. Data were analysed by the GLM procedure of SAS and differences were considered significant at P<0.05. Orthogonal polynomial contrasts were performed to determine the linear and quadratic effects of age.
The influence of broiler age on SIDC of N and AA in maize and barley is presented in Tables 1 and 2, respectively. The SIDC of N in maize was unaffected (P>0.05) by age. Bird age, however, quadratically influenced the average SIDC of IAA (P<0.002) and total AA (TAA; P<0.05). A linear effect (P<0.05) was observed in the SIDC of dispensable AA (DAA). The highest values were recorded on day 7, then declining on day 14, increasing to day 21 and plateauing to day 35, followed by a decrease on day 42. Except for Thr (P>0.05), the SIDC of all individual IAA and DAA was influenced (linear or quadratic; P<0.05 to<0.001) by broiler age. In barley, the SIDC of N, average SIDC of IAA, DAA and TAA increased quadratically with advancing age of broilers (P<0.001). The values increased from days 7 to 21, and then plateaued until day 42. The average SIDC of TAA in barley at day 7 was 16.4% lower than day 14, 25.0% lower than day 21, and 23.4% lower than the average from days 28 to 42. The SIDC of individual AA in barley increased (quadratic; P<0.05 to 0.001) with bird age. The increase in SIDC AA in barley by age agrees with previous findings. Szczurek et al. (2020) determined the AA digestibility in barley in broilers at days 14 vs. 28 post-hatch and found that the SIDC of the AA in barley was higher at day 28.
In the SIDC calculations, the AIDC were corrected for the basal EAA losses from various digestive secretions, pancreatic and enzymatic secretions and unsurprisingly these two values were different with SIDC being higher. In this study, age appropriate EAA flows were used to standardise the apparent digestibility estimates. The basal EAA losses of TAA at day 7 (12.93 g/kg dry matter intake; DMI) was twice than that of the average of days 14 to 35 (6.19 g/kg DMI), and almost three times higher than day 42 (4.48 g/kg DMI). After correcting for age appropriate EAA, an increase of 32.5% in the average SIDC of TAA at day 7 was observed in maize that was almost two times higher compared to that from days 14 to 35 (13.9-17.0%), and three times more than the increase at day 42 (9.85%). Similar to maize, the average SIDC of TAA in barley at day 7 was 31.5% higher than the average AIDC of TAA, which decreased to 7.17% at day 42. Among the individual AA in barley, the lowest SIDC was recorded for Lys at day 7 mainly due to very low AIDC Lys at this age. Correction for the EAA losses, did not uplift the SIDC Lys to the same extent of other AA because of low endogenous Lys losses at day 7. The exact reasons for the observed age effects on AA digestibility are intricate and complicated by the interactions among a multitude of factors including the ingredient type, digestive tract development, secretion, and activity of proteolytic enzymes, EAA flows, digesta passage rate and activity of intestinal microbiome at different ages. Overall, the current findings suggest that the age influence on AA digestibility is dependent on grain type and specific AA. The SIDC of AA in maize and barley are influenced by broiler age and that the age effect on AA digestibility may need to be considered for precise feed formulation.

Q: html5 - Canvas - Createjs - negative space in graphics drawing I have a complex situation where i need to draw a shape with the lineTo() and drawCircle() methods, but there is a negative space behavior depending on which direction i draw the lines.
//draw from right to left
var shape2 = new createjs.Shape();
    shape2.graphics.beginFill('blue').moveTo(300,200).lineTo(0,200).lineTo(0,300).lineTo(300,300).closePath();
    shape2.graphics.drawCircle(280,250,100)

Look at this JsFiddle :)
https://jsfiddle.net/zOgs/3epv7o54/
Can someone explain to me why the blue circle make a negative space ..? And how to avoid that behavior...
(I have tried to change the compositeOperation param of the shape instance, but it's seems to have no effect...)
Thx !
EDIT 1:
I have made a more accurate example of my working case. Please look at this JsFiddle and move your mouse on the canvas. You'll see there isn't any probleme from RIGHT TO LEFT... but negatives spaces appears from LEFT TO RIGHT !!
(move quickly for better view)
https://jsfiddle.net/zOgs/psa3x9y2/
I don't understand exactly why, and i can't find any valid workaround...
(no caching possible because of performance reasons, no composeOperation because of background troubles)

A: EDIT 1 (removing two previously proposed workarounds)
I think I've found a solution: Setting the fill again before the circle is drawn seems to address it.
In terms of your example, that would mean modifying the last line of the excerpt above to read shape2.graphics.beginFill('blue').drawCircle(280,250,100);.
EDIT 2
In response to your remarks and updated jsfiddle, you could also try setting shape3.compositeOperation = "xor"; right after your Shape() instantiation.
