Informed decision‐making: statistical methodology for surrogacy evaluation and its role in licensing and reimbursement assessments
Weir, C. J. and Taylor, R. S. (2022) Informed decision‐making: statistical methodology for surrogacy evaluation and its role in licensing and reimbursement assessments. Pharmaceutical Statistics, 21(4), pp. 740-756. (doi: 10.1002/pst.2219) (PMID:35819121)
The desire, by patients and society, for faster access to therapies has driven a long tradition of the use of surrogate endpoints in the evaluation of pharmaceuticals and, more recently, biologics and other innovative medical technologies. The consequent need for statistical validation of potential surrogate outcome measures is a prime example on the theme of statistical support for decision-making in health technology assessment (HTA). Following the pioneering methodology based on hypothesis testing that Prentice presented in 1989, a host of further methods, both frequentist and Bayesian, have been developed to enable the value of a putative surrogate outcome to be determined. This rich methodological seam has generated practical methods for surrogate evaluation, the most recent of which are based on the principles of information theory and bring together ideas from the causal effects and causal association paradigms. Following our synopsis of statistical methods, we then consider how regulatory authorities (on licensing) and payer and HTA agencies (on reimbursement) use clinical trial evidence based on surrogate outcomes. We review existing HTA surrogate outcome evaluative frameworks. We conclude with recommendations for further steps: (1) prioritisation by regulators and payers of the application of formal surrogate outcome evaluative frameworks, (2) application of formal Bayesian decision-analytic methods to support reimbursement decisions, and (3) greater utilization of conditional surrogate-based licensing and reimbursement approvals, with subsequent reassessment of treatments in confirmatory trials based on final patient-relevant outcomes.

Gibney Dance Center has undergone an incredible expansion since acquiring the former Dance New Amsterdam studios in 2013, and the professional performance wing of Gina Gibneys creative empire is no exception. For the first time, the company has commissioned choreographers to put together a program of works celebrating female talent, and they didn't have to look far for candidates. The program will feature the premiere of "Still and Still Moving," a new work from Gibney Dance Company's Associate Artistic Director Amy Miller, and the revival of "The Short-Cut," a work from 2005 choreographed by Hilary Easton, Gibney Dance Center's Creative Director of Training, Education and Research.

Texas Highways is the official travel magazine of Texas.
As the authority on Texas travel since 1974, Texas Highways provides readers with a curated guide to the state's cities, small towns, hidden gems, and natural wonders. Stories focus on Texas' scenic, recreational, historical, cultural, and ethnic treasures accompanied by strong photography highlighting the state's natural beauty. From the comfort of your living room or at the wheel of your car, Texas Highways is your trusted guide for travel in Texas.
Texas Highways was founded in 1953 when the Texas Highway Department (now the Texas Department of Transportation) changed the name of its employee publication from Maintenance and Construction Bulletin. The magazine originally carried articles about highway design, construction and maintenance. But in 1962, a young editor named Frank Lively began adding stories about historical events and places and other topics of general interest. On Lively's recommendation, the magazine was converted to a travel publication offered to the general public in 1974, and one year later, Texas Gov. Dolph Briscoe signed a resolution by the state Legislature naming Texas Highways the official travel magazine of Texas.

Barely over 1 month into 2012 and folks around the web have been dubbing Pinterest as this year's social media site to watch. This propelled by the sudden growth in users and talk of how businesses have seen considerable referral traffic from the site. Brands like Whole Foods, Land's End and Etsy have set up profiles and amassed tens of thousands of followers across their pin boards and profiles. Even our very own Jason Falls has been sharing his thoughts on Pinterest's marketing potential.
A quick overview for those new to the site, Pinterest is essentially a virtual cork board where you post images from all over the web. The images are "pinned" and organized into collections called "boards" which you name based on themes, topics, or just about anything you want.
For instance, I've created a a board for my favorite iPhone & iPad apps linking to the apps in the iTunes App store. Also, as someone who likes to frequently cook (and eat) I created a board for dishes I want to cook and inspirational ways to present food. Each pin links to the original web site where it was originally published so I can possibly backtrack and find out how to make that great recipe I found or others who follow me on Pinterest can discover some new iPhone apps I've pinned.
Pinterest users can also do much of the standard stuff such as "like", "repin" or comment on any image they find. Additionally, one of the ways Pinterest is different than other social networks in the way that users can follow individual boards that interest them instead of being forced to follow a user and everything they share. That allows folks who prefer to follow interests instead of a particular person an opportunity to do so.
That said, I'd like to share a few ways you might use Pinterest from a different angle for some quick and dirty research.
When clicked, every image on Pinterest displays corresponding information like comments, "likes," other images in the same board and more. The info I find interesting is the area on each pin that shows what other pins came from a specific web domain. Take a look here for instance. You can see all images pinnned from socialmedaiexplorer.com from all users on Pinterest. You can see right off the bat that people enjoy the infographics here on the site. Most popular after the infographics is an image of Jason's recently published book. Remember, each of these images could have been pinned from any page on socialmediaexp.wpengine.com. Pinterest conveniently collects them all in one place for you.
Want to try it on your site? Type the following into your browser and replace "yourdomain.com" with your own web site: http://pinterest.com/source/"yourdomain.com". You'll likely find out something interesting about what visitors to your web site find visually interesting to them.
Let's look at another example with the folks at FastMac: http://pinterest.com/source/fastmac.com/. Here we can see, out of all the products that Fastmac sells, 99% of people have pinned images related to their USB wall socket. Not only an image of the product itself, but the actual ad image on the product page.
This by itself is insightful, but let's take it a step further.
It's been said that your brand is not what you say it is, but what your customers say it is. That said, understanding customer perception is important. Pinterest can give you a little insight into that by simply taking a look at the name of the boards that users have pinned content from your web site. In the case of Fastmac, you can see board names like "Products I love…", "I Want", "Geeky", "Home Decor", "Brilliant", "For the Home", and "My Future Home". If only a few images have been pinned from your web site then this might not be enough for you to care about, but with hundreds or even thousands of pins it has more meaning. Additionally, by clicking each board name you will be able to see what other images that user has found worth of shuffling into "I Want" or "Products I love…" and how many other users are following each of these boards. Similar to the common Twitter metric, the number of board followers could be counted towards the "reach" of any content shared in that specific board.
Again, let's dive a little further shall we?
Being able to take a look at what folks have pinned from your web site is one thing, but might it be helpful to capture it to cull through later? There is a quick way to capture all of the board names, pin descriptions, user comments, likes and repins all into one document. First bring up all images pinned from your web site as described previously. Now scroll to the bottom of the page. When you hit the bottom of the page Pinterest automatically loads up any additional images. Keep scrolling until no more images load. Next, hit "control + a" on your keyboard ("command + a" for Mac users) to "select all" . You should now see everything selected on the page. Open up a blank Word document and hit "control+v" to paste everything into the document. Depending on how many images there are it might take a few seconds for it all to paste. Unfortunately the images are not captured, but all of the other information including links to the boards and user profiles, will be in your document. You can also paste into an Excel spreadsheet. It doesn't look pretty, but you can use it to review later.
Beyond this there is still more you can do to dig a little deeper to get to know some potential customers and even competitors more. You might take a closer look at the users who seem to be getting the most repins or likes on the images they share. What else are they into? Have they added more social links to their Pinterest profile so you can connect with them on Twitter or elsewhere as well? What might you find out if you looked up what people were sharing from your competitor's web site?
On a side note, I have recently launched a digital marketing podcast called the SoLoMo Show. In our next episode we will be discussing more about Pinterest and its prospects as a marketing channel. Want to be a part of the conversation? Then leave us a voicemail with your thoughts on Pinterest at (415) 633-6123 or tweet us. We might include it in the show. Also, feel free to check out my Pinterest profile here. Lastly, feel free to share your thoughts here in the comments. Were these tips helpful? is Pinterest a contender or just a fad? Share your thoughts.


How Do I Know if I'm Eligible for a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy?
If you are having financial difficulties and you are thinking that it might be time to consider filing a bankruptcy case, then it might just be time for you to do so. Do not make the mistake of thinking that filing a bankruptcy case on your own (or even with an attorney not familiar with bankruptcy law) is the way you should go. Perhaps the worst thing you can do in the face of financial difficulties is to go at it alone or with bad advice. This is the time to seek the advice of a competent and experienced attorney who knows bankruptcy law and who is willing to talk to you in detail about your situation.
Are You Eligible to File Chapter 7?
One of the issues that you might discuss with a competent bankruptcy attorney is whether or not you are "eligible" to file a Chapter 7 case. Using the word 'eligible' is somewhat misleading. The truth is that any individual person can file a Chapter 7 case. However, since the enactment of sweeping legal changes to Chapter 7 that went into effect in 2005, there are significant initial considerations to contemplate. Failure to do so can have costly and undesirable consequences. Perhaps the main consideration for the individual consumer is the "means" test associated with Chapter 7. This "means" test will apply to all individual Chapter 7 case filings with a few limited exceptions.
To determine how the "means" test applies to you, your attorney will start by looking at the total amount of gross income (not net or "take home pay") received in your household each month. Then, your attorney will consider the number of persons regularly residing in your household (a/k/a "household size"). If your total gross household income is greater than the median gross income for your household size in your state, then the filing of a Chapter 7 case for you will raise the "presumption of abuse." You don't want this. Even though you can rebut the "presumption of abuse" with "special circumstances", this effort can be costly. And if you're struggling to make ends meet, it will likely be impossible for you to be able to pay the legal fees incurred in such an effort.
On the other hand, if your total gross household income is less than the median gross income for your household size in your state, then the filing of a Chapter 7 case does NOT raise the "presumption of abuse" and you need not worry about "special circumstances" to rebut the presumption. Let's look at an example to illustrate all of this. In Mississippi, a household size of four (4) can have a monthly gross income of $5,200.00 if filing a Chapter 7 case on or after November 1, 2015. So, if you are in a household size of four (4) and your gross monthly household income is equal to or less than that amount, you can file a Chapter 7 case without worrying about the "presumption of abuse" or with proving "special circumstances".
What if you are a household size of four (4) and your gross monthly income is just a little more than that, say $5,500.00? Don't worry. All is not lost. However, your attorney is going to have to apply the legally recognized deductions to your gross income to determine if the "presumption of abuse" can be avoided in your case even though your gross income is slightly over the limit. Applying the deductions allowed by law is not the same thing as "special circumstances"; but, it is a tricky part of dealing with the "means" test in a Chapter 7 case.
If all of the above sounds complicated, you're hearing it right. And it is yet another reason why you must seek competent and reputable bankruptcy counsel in such a situation. The foregoing information is a very basic and simple explanation of the "means" test concept. Our attorneys can help you navigate the maze that is the "means" test so that you can decide if filing a Chapter 7 case is an appropriate response to your situation.

Q: In linux how do I do multiple operations on a single string through piping? For example,
If you do free -m | sed -n 2p
I want to work with the output from the last, second to last, and third columns. The problem is I want to keep it consistent and use the output from free once.
I want to be able to keep the output consistent without running the free -m | sed -n 2p and extracting what the three columns that I need three times; I want to be able to do it once. How can I do this?

A: You might want to give Awk a whirl for this.
[root@james-ws tmp]# free -m | sed -n 2p
Mem:          3948       3724        223          0        364        852
[root@james-ws tmp]# free -m | sed -n 2p | awk '{print $7, $6, $3}'
852 364 3718

A: You can use named pipes and awk to split the output into 3 sources. Then you can read (once) from each source.
mkfifo pipe1 pipe2 pipe3
free -m | sed -n 2p | awk '{ print $3 >> pipe1; print $6 >> pipe2; print $7 >> pipe3 }'

The named pipes pipe1 et al. act as buffers that you can read from as if they were pipelines.
cat pipe1 | this | that | the-other

or preferably without cat:
this < pipe1 | that | the-other

Note that once you read data from a pipe, the data is gone, just as if your input came from a regular pipe.

A: I think the simplest way to do this would be to store the statistics line in a bash array, and then access the elements of the array:
memStats=( $(free -m | sed -n 2p) )
memStatElements=${#memStats[@]}
echo "last column: ${memStats[memStatElements-1]}"
echo "second-to-last column: ${memStats[memStatElements-2]}"
echo "second column: ${memStats[1]}" # Note that arrays are 0-based, so [1] is the second element

A: I opted to instead just store the free result in a variable and echo each result individually.
This is my end result:
STRINGMEM=$(free -m | sed -n 2p | awk '{ print $7,$6,$3 }'); CACHED=$( echo $STRINGMEM | awk '{print $3}'); BUFFERED=$(echo $STRINGMEM | awk '{print $2}'); ACTIVE=$(echo $STRINGMEM | awk '{print $1}'); ACTIVE=$( (( ($BUFFERED + $CACHED) - $ACTIVE)) ); DATE=$(date +%s);

Analysis Abraham Lincoln Cooper Union Address
Words: 3070 Pages: 10 5671
The "Cooper Union Address was written on February 27, 1860 by an eminent abolitionist named Abraham Lincoln, who believed the expansion of slavery should come to a halt.

How to Dynamically Time an Engine
By: Eric Baxter | Updated: Feb 10, 2021
Don't Start Your Engines Just Yet
You have your numbers in hand. Your tools are within reach. Now, it's time to start. Or at least start the timing light, one of the most critical tools in your arsenal.
A timing light is simply a strobe light timed to flash on and off as the spark plug at cylinder No. 1 sparks on and off. This light is aimed at specific timing marks on the engine, and the two coordinate to time the ignition system to engine rotation as the car is running. In short, this is dynamic timing.
The timing light has three leads: one for battery positive, one for battery negative and one that clamps on to the cylinder No. 1 spark wire. Hook the leads up, and check to see if the light works.
Find the timing marks on the engine. Most are on the crankshaft pulley and block, but some systems have them in other locations. There will be two marks. Make sure these are visible by either cleaning them, or marking them with bright paint or chalk.
Now, refer to your timing specifications. Let's assume your car is a 1969 Ford Mustang with an automatic transmission and a 429 engine. The factory manual stated ideal timing was 6 degrees BTDC measured with engine idling at 600 RPM in gear.
With the vacuum lines to distributor disconnected, the marks chalked in and the timing light hooked in correctly, it's now time to start the engine.
Aim the timing light at the mark and press the trigger. The marks should look like they're standing still. If the two lines are lined up, your engine is timed correctly and there's no further work. If they're not, it's time to adjust the timing. This is accomplished by adjusting the distributor.
Loosen the distributor hold-down clamp enough to allow the distributor to rotate on its central shaft. Rotate the distributor slightly, only a few degrees one way or the other. Check your marks with the light. If they're farther apart, rotate the distributor a few degrees in the opposite direction from the way you first turned it. If the marks were closer together, keep rotating in the original direction.
Once the timing is correct, tighten the hold-down, and then recheck the marks. Sometimes, tightening the distributor can change the timing.
While the timing light is connected, reconnect your vacuum hose to the distributor, and check to see that the vacuum advance is working correctly. If it's working, you can see the marks shift apart as the RPM is increased or move closer together as it decreases.
Once you understand timing's basic techniques, the process is fairly simple and straightforward. In fact, properly timing and engine can extend its useful life, make it more efficient and better-performing.
Write your information out on a sheet of paper, and then tape the paper to a visible spot somewhere in the engine compartment so you can refer to the numbers when necessary.
Dynamic Timing FAQ
What is dynamic timing?
The idea behind timing a car correctly is to fire a spark in the combustion cylinder at just the right time so that the ensuing explosion pushes the piston down with the maximum efficiency given the engine's load.
What is static timing?
Static timing is setting the time when the engine stops.
What is timing on an engine?
The essence of ignition timing, whether it's static or dynamic, is to ensure the spark igniting the fuel vapors happens at the correct time.
What is a timing light?
A timing light is simply a strobe light timed to flash on and off as the spark plug at cylinder No. 1 sparks on and off. This light is aimed at specific timing marks on the engine.
Does engine timing have risks?
If the fuel in a combustion chamber is sparked too soon or too late, there can be excessive vibration, even engine damage.

Towerfall: The Re-Return of Social Gaming
April 3, 2014 April 3, 2014 / Ralph Barbagallo
Social gaming was hot. Then it 'died'. And now it's hot? The fact is, video games have always been social. In the earliest era of computer games there weren't enough CPU cycles (or CPUs at all!) for AI. Players had to move everything themselves–Steve Russell's Spacewar being the earliest example. But just look classic coin-ops like Pong, Warlords, Sprint, etc. Same-screen multiplayer was just how things were done. Arcades in the '80s weren't solely the domain of nerds–a broad spectrum of people showed up and played games together. Imagine that!
Local multiplayer ruled well into the '90s. Games like GoldenEye, Mario Party, and Bomberman ensured there was always something to do when you had people over your place. Yet, once Internet multiplayer hit in the early '00s, console games became strangely anti-social. Today when someone comes over my house and wants to play a game with me–well, it's complicated. There really aren't many games people can play together on the market.
That's why Towerfall Ascension is so interesting to me. At first I thought it was yet another pixel-art indie game over promoted by Ouya due to a lack of content. After playing it with others its significance dawned on me. Finally there's something to play with other people! It had been so long since I'd had a local multiplayer experience that it took actually playing it for me to recognize this one fact: the local multiplayer brawler may very well be where the MOBA was when DOTA was merely a Warcraft III mod.
At GDC I noticed the beginning of this trend. There were a few Towerfall clones already in progress or on the market. In fact, some similar games even shortly preceded Towerfall. Not to mention Towerfall's release on the PS4 and Steam has been highly successful. I really think a new (old) genre is born.

One thought on "Towerfall: The Re-Return of Social Gaming"
Dave Buck
Indeed, towerfall has been in steady rotation here for the better part of a year, it's a wonderful game to punch your friends over, with a LOT of depth.
Another one that is starting to make it into the mix is nidhogg, and we're also awaiting the release of Sportsfriends (hokra/joust) and bari bari ball, as other solid 'couch' games that we've gotten ahold of, but are still not all that freely available yet.

Premier League side West Ham United are keen on a loan move for highly rated Chelsea midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek when the transfer window reopens in January.
The 22-year-old has been in fine form of late for the Blues and that has attracted the interest of the Hammers.
West Ham United are prepared to offer him more playing time than what he's getting at Chelsea at the moment.
According to the publication from popular English news outlet Daily Mirror, new Blues boss Maurizio Sarri is opposed to the idea of Loftus-Cheek going out on loan until the end of the season.
The Italian tactician wants to keep the England international star at Stamford Bridge until the end of the season.
Apart from West Ham United, fellow London club Crystal Palace are also said to be interested in a move for the Chelsea Academy graduate.
He had earlier spent the whole of last season with the Eagles.
Loftus-Cheek impressed a great deal while he was on a season-long loan deal to Palace.
His impressive performances propelled him into the 23-man England squad for this summer's FIFA World Cup tournament in Russia.
He was part of the England squad that finished fourth at the tournament.

HomeBoycotted, Bothered and Bewildered
Boycotted, Bothered and Bewildered
J.J. GoldbergSeptember 1, 2010
Israel entered disturbing, unfamiliar territory this summer in its struggles against boycotts and economic warfare. After nearly a decade of noisy but largely toothless campaigns to isolate it on the international stage, Israel now faces a concerted effort by Palestinians under its rule to isolate the Israeli settlers living among them in the West Bank.
The weapon of choice is a boycott of settlement-based products, services and jobs. And Jerusalem doesn't have a clue what to do about it.
The problem is that this is unlike any boycott Israel has faced before. For one thing, it's working. Israeli news reports tell of factories shutting down and millions of shekels lost. That's never happened before, in all the years of Arab boycotts and campus divestment rallies. Knesset speaker Reuven Rivlin called it "a declaration of war against Israel." The Yesha Council, which represents Jewish settlers in the West Bank, called it "economic terrorism."
For another thing, this boycott isn't exactly anti-Israel in the normal sense. Up to now Israel has argued to foreign governments and universities, mostly successfully, that an across-the-board boycott of Israeli products and institutions is an attack on the Jewish state itself, not on any particular policy. That proves that Israel's foes are bent on destroying it, not merely changing it. But the new campaign attacks only a specific policy, and a highly controversial one at that: building an Israeli civilian presence in the still-disputed territory captured in 1967. There's no challenge to Israel proper or its economy; Palestinian leaders have stated repeatedly.
That makes it much more awkward for Israelis to object. Official government responses have been correspondingly tepid, mainly arguing, as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in May, that Palestinian boycotters only "hurt themselves."
Even more awkward, the boycott is an embodiment of something Israel has been demanding for years: that Palestinians pursue their goals non-violently. Boycotts are not violent. Dubbing a settlement boycott illegitimate suggests, in effect, that Palestinians have no right to pursue their goals at all.
Nothing, though, has confused and angered Israelis as much as a second boycott announced in late August by a group of Israeli theater personalities, who vowed not to perform in West Bank settlements. The announcement singled out the bustling West Bank town of Ariel, population 17,000, where a $10 million government-funded municipal auditorium is scheduled to open in November. The auditorium's schedule for the opening season was published August 25, featuring appearances by major repertory theater companies including Habimah and the Cameri. In response, two actors announced on August 26 that they would not participate.
On August 27 a formal boycott letter was released, signed by 36 actors, directors and playwrights and addressed to the governing boards of the country's six major repertory theaters. "The actors among us hereby declare that we will refuse to perform in Ariel, as well as in any other settlement," the letter said. "We urge the boards to hold their activity within the sovereign borders of the State of Israel within the Green Line." By August 31, close to 60 artists had signed on. Other academics and authors have voiced their support.
Israeli debates over settlement policy are nothing new. But they've taken on a newly frantic tone in the past year, since Netanyahu agreed to work toward Palestinian statehood. Each side now sees a final decision approaching, and each side fears it will spell disaster — for its own views and for Israel.
The actors' boycott has touched off new levels of rage in the pro-settlement camp. Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz called for cutting off the government subsidies of theaters that won't perform in Ariel. Culture Minister Limor Livnat, who oversees theater subsidies, said the actors are "dividing Israeli society and spreading hate." Other Likud lawmakers are demanding that funds be cut to any theater that employs actors who refuse to perform.
There are murmurings on the Web that the actors could even be charged under a pending Knesset bill that outlaws public support for boycotts against Israel. Assuming, that is, that the bill passes while the actors are still talking boycott. It's not clear, though, whether the actors' boycott would qualify as anti-Israel, as their angrier critics claim. That goes back to the question of whether an attack on the settlements is an attack on Israel.
This is where it gets really complicated. The anti-boycott bill is an outgrowth of a campaign launched last winter by a right-wing student group, Im Tirtzu, against a handful of Israeli professors who endorse international boycotts of Israeli universities. Ironically, Im Tirtzu's latest action is a call for an international donors' boycott of Ben-Gurion University in the Negev because it employs several of the professors. If the bill passes and the professors risk fines, so will Im Tirtzu.
Settlers have faced boycotts before from opponents of government policy. Some have even pitted settler against settler. And then there was the boycott called against The New York Times in 2001 by Rabbi Haskell Lookstein, after the paper dared to state that Shiloh, a settlement just east of Ariel, was not in Israel. The Israeli consulate, responding to a journalist's inquiry, confirmed that Shiloh was indeed not in Israeli sovereign territory. The facts didn't stop the outrage, though. They rarely do.

Canadian Martyr's Shrine Pilgrimage
Midland, Ontario
The Canadian Martyrs Shrine honors the eight Jesuit saints who lived, worked, and died in Ontario and New York over 350 years ago. They came from France intent on spreading the Catholic faith, ready to give their lives for the glory of God and the salvation of souls. They built the first Church in Ontario and converted many of the Hurons – the native people.
A rented bus will depart from the Church of the Transfiguration in Toronto promptly at 6:00 am, will leave the Martyrs Shrine at approx. 4:00 pm to return to Toronto – Church of the Transfiguration.
Cost: $20.00 per person.
For more information: Please contact St. Michael's Priory,
P: 416-251-0499 or [email protected]
The Relics
Within the National Shrine are the relics of three out of the eight Martyrs: St. Jean de Brebeuf, St. Gabriel Lalemant, and St. Charles Garnier.
Jean de Brebeuf was massive in body, strong, and yet gentle in character. His visions of the cross and of his future martyrdom were fulfilled after he was captured in March 1649. He was tortured for hours and finally martyred at St. Ignace, six miles from Ste. Marie, at the age of fifty-six.
Gabriel Lalemant entered the Jesuits at the age of nineteen. He was ordained at twenty-seven and then served the Order as a scholar, professor, and college administrator. Delicate in body, he had a strong desire to convert the Huron tribes. Thus after spending two years in Canada, he left for Huronia and quickly learned to speak the natives' tongue. He assisted jean de Brebeuf for only one month before sharing with him the palm of martyrdom on 1 7 March 1649.
Charles Garnier joined the Jesuit Mission in Huronia at the age of thirty-one. For thirteen years he served as pastor and missionary to the Hurons and Petuns. Gentle, innocent, and fearless, his great faith in God's goodness drew many to the baptismal font. Even when his settlement was attacked and he was himself wounded, he continued baptizing neophytes and caring for an injured Huron. He soon died from his wounds, about thirty miles from Ste. Marie.
Practical notes
The Distance from St. Ignace II to the Martrys' Shrine is 18 km along a gravel road and paved trails

Jeb Bush giving Trump a run for his money
September 5, 2015 by Sean Krainert Leave a Comment
In his first TV ads of his 2016 White House campaign, Republican Jeb Bush is targeting New Hampshire gunning for the support from an early voting state.
Bush's rival, John Kasich, has already been making his rounds with New Hampshire. But Bush has put down $500,000 to buy time with Boston broadcast television and New Hampshire station WMUR, according to Reuters.
Starting next Wednesday, the ads will run and continue all the way through until the end of the month. Bush will also be running a focused online advertising campaign alongside.
February 9 marks New Hampshire's primary following after Iowa on February 1. This will mark the beginning of the parties' nominating votes for the November 2016 presidential election.
"This is the first step in a multi-week process where we will be expanding our advertising in New Hampshire and the other early states," Campbell said of the Bush ads.
They will focus on Bush's "strong conservative record of reform and his plan to change the culture in Washington," she said.
Donald Trump is currently the front-runner as the Republican nominee and Bush has been in a very visible feud with him this past week while maintaining tabs on Kasich, the Ohio governor competing along with Bush. Kasich has already one-upped Bush in terms of advertising, and has already been on the air in New Hampshire with TV ads as well as in-person visits with the state.
So far, all efforts have put Bush and Kasich at about the same level in the opinion polls of Republican voters in New Hampshire. Similarly, they are both lagging in Iowa.
Although Trump has been rising to the top of the popularity polls, Bush has remained confident that he is holding a strong position in the race.
"People as they get closer to the election, they'll start thinking who can sit behind the big desk, who can make tough decisions, who has a proven record?" Bush said. "I think I can make a pretty good case over the long haul that I am that guy."

How to hide the PHP version in the HTTP Response Headers otherwise know as (remove the X-Powered-By php version). To not let everyone else know that we are using php or maybe an old version of php we can hide this information from the response headers. For a security point of view this is a very good thing to do because we do not want to show our vulnerable information in the response headers. By hiding this information we discourage hackers to try to exploit these vulnerabilities.
I also have other tutorials that will help you hide your nginx version number or to rename the server attribute completely. I recommend you to check them out if you care about securing your web server.
Look for the expose_php attribute on the default configuration file it is somewhere at line 366. To disable the php version in the HTTP Response Headers set the expose_php to Off. This will eliminate the X-Powered-By php sent from the HTTP Response Header.
To test your HTTP Response Headers I use curl -I. The -I option will give us the response headers back.
As you can see the X-Powered-By is no longer located in the HTTP Response Headers.


Teaching Good Eaters: Will You Eat it In a Boat? Would You Eat it With a Goat?
Will You Eat it In a Boat? Would You Eat it With a Goat?
Over the holiday weekend, I had the opportunity to share Muffin Tin Meals with my niece. We had all just returned from a long walk. We were a bit late for lunch and the kids were all starving!
My mom made quesadillas with leftover turkey, cheese, and guacamole. I quickly prepared some "Muffin Tins to Share," with carrots, red pepper hummus, berries, apricots, candy cane cheese, and a left a spot for the slices of quesadilla.
My daughter was very excited to share a muffin tin meal with my niece!
My niece happily ate her cheese, fruit, some of her carrots and hummus, and one slice of quesadilla. When she didn't eat the second piece, my mom asked her if she wanted a plain quesadilla (since that what she usually made for her.) Having just seen her eat one piece of quesadilla with turkey and guacamole without complain, I didn't think that it was actually the quesadilla that was the problem.
There had been some talk of going to sit on the swing behind the house. My daughter was still hungry so I gave her some quesadilla to take out on the swing, and also gave her a few pieces for my niece. A few minutes later, my daughter came back in and announced that my niece had gobbled the quesadilla right up!
This brought to mind a lesson that I had learned with my own kids- particularly my youngest: Never assume that the food is the problem. Sometimes, particularly with my youngest, I felt like "Sam I Am." "Will you eat it in a boat?" "Will you eat it with a goat?"
Sometimes a different location will work (like the swing.) When my son was one, he would rarely eat dinner unless he was sitting on my husband's lap. Sometimes he wants to move to a different seat at the table before he'll eat.
Sometimes the presentation of the food is wrong... cut/ not cut, on a dish, in a bowl... if my son is expecting a whole banana and I cut it for him, he won't eat it.
Sometimes my son won't eat until I put it on the fork for him and feed it to him (despite the fact that he's been feeding himself for quite some time.) Sometimes he's just not hungry-- yet. I often leave his meals sitting out for a while after the meal to see if he returns later. If he doesn't, I don't stress it. If I'm really worried that he's hungry, I'll offer him a healthy snack later, but I make sure that meal time is over and that having the snack is not connected to not eating the meal so that it's not seen as a "replacement."
I've often seen my two year old eat a food one week and not eat it the next. I've even seen him skip dinner, only to eat the exact same food for lunch the next day.
Toddlers and preschoolers can be quite a mystery.
Have you ever thought that your toddler/ preschooler wouldn't eat something only to find that they ate it when presented in a different way or at a different time? !
Check out Muffin Tin Monday for more fun muffin tin meal ideas.
It's great she ate it after all. My boys just love quesadillas.
You are so right! It isn't what they are eating at times.
I'm glad my third wasn't my first... otherwise, I may not have realized this. Because I've seen all that my older two will eat, I know it's worth it to persist and to not assume that it's the food. When my oldest was 1 1/2 she ate just about anything. Then we went away for a week to a family camp and she ate NOTHING at the meals- we kept trying different foods, but finally realized it was the environment. The cafeteria was way too busy for her to focus on food. We had to start bringing food back to our cabin and once we were there, she would eat.
Very good points shared here.
And the meal sounds great too. Especially the quesadillas and hummus.
Christina- I agree... when he is no longer a 2 year old, he will remember that he likes vegetables and will likely continue to eat them. If you insisted that he eat them at the table and he refused- all he would remember is refusing to eat vegetables- When they are little--- "whatever works" is my motto!!
Thanks Shiela- I have read that about toddlers as well. I think it's definitely true with my son... some days he doesn't eat breakfast, some days it's lunch and sometimes it's dinner. I try not to worry about it, because overall (maybe over 48 hours) he eats more than enough.

A European Response to Organised Crime
Resolution submitted by: PC1 – Institutions and Governance
Acknowledging the existence today in Europe of over 5000 criminal organizations, as reported by Europol "Report EU SOCTA" in 2017;
Acknowledging that organised crime is a singular form of delinquency that arises in order to systematically obtain material and immaterial advantages in an illicit way;
Aware that
the structure of these organisations tends to be hierarchical, based on the rules of obedience and silence;
they place their action far above the criminal standards of common delinquency; being able to undermine the economy, in the private sector as well as in the public procurement sector, through the enormous availability of resources originating from the trafficking of drugs, arms, human beings, etc., which are eventually laundered and illegally placed on the market;
organised crime organisations do not intend to be anti-state, but rather tend to insert themselves within the State itself through instruments such as corruption, coercion, violence and control of a part of the electorate, both active and passive;
Deeply concerned that the presence of organised crime in society undermines the foundations of free competition in the economy, democracy and the rule of law;
Considering that this social phenomenon is increasingly emerging in its transnational, not to say global, dimension and its pervasiveness is increasingly felt;
Encouraged by the increasing awareness of European public opinion regarding the danger of these organisations,
Welcoming that the European Parliament has become more and more engaged in addressing the threat of organised crime during the last 10 years, calling on the European Commission for a stronger commitment;
Being aware that, without a Federal Constitution, the European Union cannot pursue penal crimes but only make use of forms of enhanced voluntary cooperation among the Member States in investigation on transnational crimes;
Recalling that the existing European investigative system consists only of sharing of information that the European Public Prosecutor Office, Europol and Eurojust receive from the relevant national authorities on a voluntary basis;
Deeply convinced that
the first step in concretely addressing the threat of organised crime against European democracy is to make the cooperation mandatory and, at the same time, to harmonize, among the Member States, the prosecution of the same types of offence;
it is ever more clear that the legal framework of the European Union dealing with money-laundering and criminal assets is not sufficient to prevent organised crime from undermining European democracy and the Common Market;
United Nations Convention against transnational organised crime and the Protocols Thereto of 2004;
Council of Europe Organised crime situation report 2005;
European Parliament resolution of 25 October 2011 Organised crime in the European Union;
European Parliament resolution of 23 October 2013 Organised crime, corruption, and money laundering;
European Parliament resolution of 26 March 2019 Report on financial crimes, tax evasion and tax avoidance;
Considering that
criminal law falls predominantly within the competence of the Member States – change of which would necessitate a treaty revision;
at present, the European Union can only exercise very limited competence in criminal matters in order to approximate or harmonise the criminal laws of the Member States and to provide support in the sharing of information essential for the action of the various administrative bodies of criminal justice;
the activity of the European Union meets with a lot of resistance from Member States, for example:
no EU Member State has the same definition for organised crime, as highlighted by the European Parliament multiple times (e.g. Alfano Commission, 2011);
the existing European instrument supporting the investigation activities is based on the sharing of information which the European Public Prosecutor Office ("EPPO"), Europol and Eurojust receive from the relevant national authorities on a voluntary basis;
EPPO is a body set up as part of an enhanced cooperation mechanism and with the competence to investigate, prosecute and bring to judgment only crimes against the EU budget, such as fraud, corruption or serious cross-border VAT fraud;
the European Central Bank is in charge of granting and revoking the banking licenses for Union credit institutions, including with respect to serious breaches of AML/CFT rules; noting with regret, however, that the ECB is fully dependent on national AML supervisors for information relating to such breaches detected by national authorities;
money laundering is an essential component of organised criminal activity; noting with regret, however, that European supervisory authorities (ESAs) have limited capabilities to take a more substantial role in the fight against money laundering owing to their decision-making structures, a lack of powers and limited resources;
Calls for
1. a European Constituent Assembly and the foundation of a truly European Federation provided with a federal penal law which will allow it to efficiently fight against organised crime;
2. the federal penal law would provide an overarching legal framework, within which differentiation between the Member States is possible according to the principle of subsidiarity;
With regard to a future Treaty Change procedure,
3. some criminal competences to be shared at the European level to the extent necessary in order to have the possibility of make use of regulations instead of directives with the ultimate goal of harmonizing the penal codes of the Member States when it comes to organised transnational crimes;
4. the cooperation in the investigative action at the European level against financial crimes to be pursued through the institution of a dedicated Prosecutor Office and a financial police corps;
5. the European Commission to address the root causes and origins of organised crime;
Highlights its resolution "On the creation of a Fiscal Union in the Eurozone", which noted the need to strongly tackle tax havens, where the most part of organized crime illicit proceeds are deposited before being laundered and reinvested in the legal economy, through the instruments of a fiscal union in order to avoid damages to the European economy, safeguard the health of the democratic process and protect public goods from organised crime organisations;
Calls on
6. the European Parliament to institute a permanent Committee on organised crime;
7. the European Commission, in pursuing the fight against the organised crime and its distortion effect on the conditions of competition in the internal market, to make use of the procedure laid down in Article 116 TFEU which makes it possible to change the unanimity requirement vote in the Council;
8. the relevant European legislator to adopt a shared definition of organised crime following the procedure laid down in Art. 83 TFEU as to combat such undertakings more effectively and prevent legal loopholes when dealing with organised crime;
9. the EU to make mandatory the communications to the EPPO, Europol, Eurojust and ECB from all the competent agents;
10. the EU to strive towards a European Federal Police Force with real policing and enforcement powers;
11. all the European Institutions to strongly commit to an information and awareness-raising campaign, targeted at all the social partners, about the risks of the entry of criminal capital; aiming to build a common understanding on their lack of economic benefits and loss of control and autonomy, such campaigns should also be aimed at raising awareness on the risks to democracy and social cohesion at the European level caused by organised crime;
12. all the relevant European actors to implement civic education programs precisely targeting students of all levels, about the pervasiveness of organised crime on European democracy and the economy;
13. all the European Institutions and social partners to monitor particularly closely the risk of criminal infiltration in the fulfilment of the Recovery Plan.
