That man had alopecia areata and applied cedarwood (or pine), laveder, thyme, and rosemary oils to his scalp in a jojaba base carrier oil.
Im happy for him. Ive never seen THAT much hair regrown on a male before. SO if any of you readers happen to have alopecia areata, these may help you.

I posted about this topical a while ago.
AA is caused by an autoimmune factor. The oil should help to lower inflammation.
Thats the most regrowth Ive ever seen…you'd think people would be impressed by it, but whatever.
» by it, but whatever.
I posted about the scottish study many months ago and yes I was impressed by it hence I mentioned it in this forum!
You are right - inorder to reverse AA you need more than to lower inflammation. You also need to address the factors which inflammation is impacting upon.
i doubt its the same guy - unless he lost 40+ lbs as well - look at how fat his neck is in the first picture and how skinny it is in the 2nd. i doubt this is true.
Looks like the same guy to me. Maybe he lost weight - it could happen. Look at the ears in both pictures - they look unmistakenly similar to me.
Do you think the ARCHIVES OF DERMATOLOGY is going to insert a fraudulent study in their publication?
We aren't dealing with avacor here.
Jojaba based carrier oil,what the heck does this mean.
» Jojaba based carrier oil,what the heck does this mean.
it means the scientists put portions of cedarwood, lavender, rosemary, and thyme oil in a larger portion of jojoba oil…and massaged them into a warm wet scalp. Jojoba was the carrier oil because it penetrates the dermis a bit more readily than the others. Grapeseed oil is also used for this.

Kristin Hersh announces free London instore
by John Brainlove January 4th, 2007
The spooky, surreal, wise and weary songstress Kristin Hersh is to play a free gig at the Tottenham Court Road branch of the Fopp chain store this January 16th at 7pm.
She will be performing tracks from the brand new album Learn to Sing Like a Star, released on 29th January. Hopefully it's not an X-Factor contestant self-help album.
Hersh has been quietly making brilliant music for over a decade now, and was the frontwoman of Throwing Muses and 50 Foot Wave in addition to her solo output. This is a good chance to see her play her more stripped down songs - her gigs usually sell out months in advance.
Fopp's flagship Tottenham Court Road store is home to a fully licensed venue/bar and café area, and events are apparently sometimes subject to change and cancellation. But let's hope not this time, eh.

Applause! Applause! Review of BenDeLaCreme's Inferno A-Go-Go at The Laurie Beechman Theatre by Dr. Thomas Robert Stevens
This review of BenDeLaCreme's Inferno A-Go-Go at The Laurie Beechman Theatre was written by Dr. Thomas Robert Stevens and published in Volume X, Issue 6 (2016) of the online edition of Applause! Applause!
BenDeLaCreme's Inferno A-Go-Go
Written & Performed by BenDeLaCreme (Benjamin Putnam)
BenDeLaCreme is best known from Season 6 of RuPaul's Drag Race where she won "Miss Congeniality" and has since been voted one of the show's "15 Fan Favorite Queens Of All Time." In 2014, the premiere of Terminally Delightful wowed New York City audiences and in 2015, her follow-up show, Cosmos, blended Carl Sagan with cocktail culture. Now, in 2016, BenDeLaCreme is back with her latest show, Inferno A-Go-Go. In this adventurous descent into Hell as a passenger aboard Carnal Cruises (motto: We'll see you...in Hell!) and armed with her "Gone To Hell" brochure and a God Pass, she travels and visits all Nine Circles of Hell (Limbo, Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Wrath, Heresy, Violence, Fraud & Treachery) as depicted in the first part of Dante Alighieri's 14th-century epic poem Divine Comedy, eventually meeting the Devil himself at the center of the 9th Circle. BenDeLaCreme's Ninth Circle looks nothing like the Ninth Circle Steakhouse (139 West 10th Street between Greenwich Avenue & Waverly Place) which closed down in 2002. That unpretentious bar always made you feel welcome and was the place everyone met up after a long evening out on the town. The only Devils there were the bartenders who sold extremely cut cocaine to unsuspecting customers.
BenDeLaCreme agrees to the disclaimer and ignores the sign at the entrance to Hell warning, "Abandon All Hope Those Who Enter Here!" With the aid of video clips, songs, puppets and characters she has created, BenDeLaCreme takes the audience on a journey into "a world of eternal suffering" or "Suffer Rings", a term she claims to have trademarked. Limbo, the first circle of Hell, contains the souls of the uncommitted and the unbaptized. Lust, the second circle of Hell, has the souls of those who were addicted to internet porn and homosexuals who spent all their time on Grindr. Gluttony (or Self-Indulgence) is the third circle of Hell, represented by a puppet who, through ventriloquism, speaks about how her last soiree was covered by the Devil's Advocate. You also get to visit a part of Hell "where after the third world children finish their sewing, you are able to harvest their bones for ivory." Yes, I know. It doesn't make any sense, but I still found the line to be very funny.
BenDeLaCreme had trouble entering the City of Dis. The walls of Dis were guarded by fallen Angels and our heroine is threatened by the Furies and Medusa. An angel sent from Heaven secures her entry but the City of Dis is nothing like she thought it would be. She ends up being "disrespected" and told "you are so ugly that when you were born, the doctor slapped your mother" and "you are so ugly that even the tide wouldn't take you out." When she arrives at the third ring of the 7th circle, she finds a desert full of gays who are "always thirsty." We are told Nancy Reagan has also been sent there. Even though she is not gay, it is still her Hell." Violence, the 7th Circle, also contains a Trump-like character wearing a baseball cap imprinted with the phrase, "Make Hell Great Again." He is a vigilante who believes it is his duty as a proud Hellian to judge and punish those who were murderers and terrorists. The only problem is that his punishments seem to be much more severe if the perpetrator is a person of color. In the end, this Trump-like character and BenDeLaCreme get into a fight when she argues "My Butt Matters" and he responds with "All Butts Matter."
When we finally meet the Devil via video clip at the center of the 9th Circle of Hell, he speaks as if he is The Wizard Of Oz, saying, "Come forward! I am Satan - The Great & Powerful. Silence! I know why you have come. You want to understand the nature of suffering." When he got to the point when he said, "Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!", BenDeLaCreme couldn't find that man. Satan needed to remind her it was a solo show and that she has been the only person on stage for the entire show. This reminder was not as obvious as you might think. Throughout the show, we are introduced to different characters, all played by BenDeLaCreme, and projected to us on screen. BenDeLaCreme interacts with these characters throughout the show. I was struck at how different each of her characters was: accents, mouthing, eye movements, and gestures - she was consistent and never broke character, breathing life into her on-screen creations, making her conversations with them seen real and live; her timing was superb and she barely ever stepped on the screen characters' lines (and vice versa); despite a quick and demanding pace. In short, it seemed like actual conversations, instead of a performer talking to a recording. Amazing! What a ton of work and rehearsal this must've taken! I'm in awe!
Her puppets also had distinctive personalities and accents, all the more amazing considering she was speaking both parts. Hers was by far one of the best ventriloquist performances I have ever seen. Additionally, the video clips were of the highest quality - sound production, animation, editing and everything else (which is considerable) that goes into producing a video. The entire structure of the show was beyond amazing, integrating many facets of her multiple talents. In addition to clever costume changes - several during entertaining and audience-diverting movie clips, and one on-stage, mid-performance, flawlessly removing the top costume (the dilapidated, burned, ripped up one) and revealing, seemingly effortlessly, the glittery red number hiding beneath (the sexiest, most alluring costume of the evening), drawing a very imaginative contrast. The audience actually was heard to say "aaaahhhh," the same expression of wonder you might expect to hear at a fireworks display.
The nature of suffering and the punishments we observed suggest that the decisions we make while we are alive dictate the nature of our punishments in Hell after we are dead. In the 8th Circle of Hell, we find Sorcerers who used Magic to foresee the future by forbidden means. These Fortune Tellers, who attempted to "usurp God's prerogative by prying into the future" have "their heads twisted around on their bodies" so "these sinners are compelled to walk backward for eternity." Those who sought to penetrate the future cannot even see in front of themselves. And so it is! We create our own Hell by the decisions we make in life. Trying to put a positive spin on this dark topic, BenDeLaCreme says, "If we have the power to create our own Hell, think of what else we could create. We all make the hell we live in but we are in control and can change the course of our lives for the better. Yes, it's scary to realize we have a choice but if we don't act to improve our own lives, the only punishment you should expect is having to live your entire life with your insufferable self!"
Don't miss Inferno A-Go-Go, BenDeLaCreme's theatrical blend of burlesque, comedy, performance art, songs, ventriloquism, video clips, and music that provides an evening of entertainment about an eternity of suffering. If you haven't been on a vacation for a while, what better escape is there than to take a rollicking romp through the nine circles of Hell, using "Dante's Inferno" (the original travel brochure of the damned) as your guide.
BenDeLaCreme's Inferno A-Go-Go runs at The Laurie Beechman Theatre through August 19, 2016 (schedule varies). Tickets are $22.00 plus a $20.00 food/drink minimum. A $40.00 VIP ticket including priority seating and meet-and-greet is also available. To purchase tickets, call 212-352-3101 or visit www.SpinCycleNYC.com.

Meet the Artisans | STEAMED!
Steampunk has come to embrace so many varied arts, well beyond just fiction. I'd like to introduce you to a couple of the artisans who make the stuff that makes us all look so good.
Where can shoppers find your products online?
Riveted seam (no sewing) leather clothing. Mostly skirts, kilts, and pocket-belts.
Do you do this full time or is it a side job?
How did you get into steampunk, personally and as an artisan?
I think, for me, the two're inseparably linked. I love non-traditional construction methods (example: to make a skirt, I use rivets instead of thread). I see a great deal of the above in the overall steampunk aesthetic. Descriptions and images of things that at the first seem over-built, stylized, or overly ornamental can too be taken as, say, a plumber's take on a message-delivery system. Using your knowledge or trade to solve situations that they may not at first seem applicable to…I love seeing that.
What's the hardest thing about being a steampunk vendor?
Not going to panels when you're at a con.
What is your very favorite thing about steampunk and the people involved?
If there is a defining aspect of steampunk, I'd call it creativity. No, really, bear with me as I "define" steampunk here. Every single steamo out there brings something to the table. Every. Single. One. At a comic or sci-fi convention, you have some great artists, writers, actors, cosplayers, etc., but for every one of those folk, there are at least a dozen fans or collectors. (Which, by the way, is great.) In steampunk, that ratio is reversed. Participants create their own character, or their own costume. They all add to the ambiance. most of us have *some* project or other we are working on, be it a light-up Nerf mod, a hover pack , a moving picture, a moving piece of poetry, an airship crew, a presentation, a new novel, knitting, we are all working on things, and most of us will happily enthuse, and share ideas to inspire and encourage one another. That, the building of this thing that we all enjoy together, that is probably my favorite aspect of steampunk.
Custom costume props, accessories, and jewelry. My style tends towards Tesla-tech, usually with small glowing light effects to simulate strange energies of the Aether.
Do you do this full tim e or is it a side job?
Full-Time, my own business. I've tried pursuing conventional means of employment; it never really worked out for me.
My first exposure to steampunk was the tabletop role-playing game, "Mage: The Ascension" by White Wo Studios. There's a Tradition of mages called the Sons of Ether whose mad devices and eccentric style were steampunk even before the term had really caught on, and they were my fast favorite. I really love the strange mélange of mysticism and technology that they represent, and I began to try making Etheric devices of my own to use as props. That was more than 10 years ago, and I've been refining my methods with what I could afford ever since.
The hardest thing about being a vendor is coming up with product ideas that are original enough not to infringe on other copyrights, but that have sufficiently recognizable value to customers who mig ht want to buy them. I often have to restrain myself from exuberant creativity and focus on making everyday stuff with a just a hint of mad science in them.
My favorite thing about steampunk is that it is primarily fan-driven. There isn't a lot of popular source material in films and television with steampunk as the main focus. There's plenty of room to get in on the ground floor as it picks up steam, so to speak. As for the people involved, I've found most are quite friendly and well-mannered, and they seem to really like my creations.
So now that you've met these two awesome creators, don't forget to check out their work! Hopefully, these interviews will be a recurring feature, so if you're an artisan, or know one who ought to be interviewed, send me an email at cindy@cindyspencerpape.com.

The race between 2021's five goal machines
Some of the best forwards on the planet are vying for top spot
Lewandowski, Haaland, Ronaldo, Messi and Mbappe.

Messi: They used to treat us Argentina players like failures
Haaland mocks fans who threw beer cups at him
As we head into the last months of 2021, the race for the world's top goalscorer is heating up.
There are five players who have produced some fantastic numbers in front of goal for both club and country this calendar year, all of whom will have their eye on the title of 2021's top marksman.
Currently leading the list is Bayern Munich and Poland's Robert Lewandowski, who has scored 45 times this year. The Pole has started off the new Bundesliga campaign in fantastic form, scoring six times in four games and is widely recognised as the best centre forward in the game.
In second spot is Norwegian sensation Erling Haaland, who has a total of 38 goals for Norway and Borussia Dortmund since January. The 21-year-old has also started the Bundesliga season well, scoring five times in four games.
In third place we have Lionel Messi, who recently moved from Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain. La Pulga has 36 goals to his name this year both internationally and at club level. He is yet to open his account at his new club, having made just one appearance.
Messi's PSG teammate Kylian Mbappe is two goals back on 33. He failed to find the net in this summer's European Championships but has scored three times in four matches in Ligue 1 until this point.
Fifth place is occupied by Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo, who has a total of 31 goals. The Portuguese star recently became the all-time top scorer in men's international football with 111 goals for his country. He also made the dream start on his return to Old Trafford scoring twice against Newcastle at home.
With over three and a half months left until the end of 2021, there are still plenty of goals to come from these five goal machines.

On 30 January 2006 the Captain of an Airbus A319 inadvertently lined up and commenced a night rolling take off from Las Vegas on the runway shoulder instead of the runway centreline despite the existence of an illuminated lead on line to the centre of the runway from the taxiway access used. The aircraft was realigned at speed and the take off was completed. ATC were not advised and broken edge light debris presented a potential hazard to other aircraft until eventually found. The Investigation found that other similar events on the same runway had not been reported at all.
On 30 January 2006, an Airbus AIRBUS A-319 (C-FKKR) being operated by Air Canada on a scheduled passenger flight from Las Vegas to Montréal as AC 596 commenced take off in normal night visibility on the shoulder of the runway instead of on the centreline before correcting at speed and completing the take off. ATC were not advised and the debris from three broken runway edge lights was not discovered. The first information aboutf the occurrence was sent to the Operator by ACARS two hours after take off. Minor NLG tyre damage was found after flight.
The Investigation was delegated by the National Transportation Safety Board (USA) (NTSB) to the Canadian Transport Safety Board (TSB). The Operator removed and downloaded the aircraft DFDR and sent the data to the TSB. Relevant CVR data was overwritten.
It was noted that the Captain, who had been PF for the flight, had accumulated approximately 11,000 total flying hours which included about 3000 hours on A320 series aircraft split equally between time as Captain and time as Co-Pilot. The First Officer had accumulated a total of approximately 10,500 total flying hours which included about 1900 hours on the type variant involved.
It was established that the aircraft had been taxied onto departure runway 25R at the full length from taxiway B in accordance with clearance (see diagram below). The green taxiway centreline lights continued past the runway holding point along the curved taxiway centreline across the white runway edge line until they reached the runway centreline. It was noted that the runway did not have centreline lights, just white centreline markings which followed an initial 425 metres of displaced threshold arrows at the beginning. Runway edge lights were white except for those on the displaced threshold section between taxiways B and A2 which were red in the take-off direction. All edge lights except those in the taxiway merge areas were raised. A rolling take off had been made. During the initial stages of the takeoff the pilot was initially unaware of the misalignment because he was "scanning the airspeed and the engine instruments" without also (as also required by SOPs) "observing that the aircraft is on the runway centreline when the thrust levers are advanced and the take-off phase is activated".
After completing this internal scan, the First Officer reported that he "looked outside and saw a red light in front of the aircraft (and) realised that the aircraft was not on the runway centreline". He informed the Captain "who had already started to correct to the left". DFDR data showed that this change of direction "corresponded to a six-degree heading correction and was made approximately 11 seconds into the take-off run at a speed of 64 knots". At the beginning of this corrective action, the aircraft had been approximately 245 metres from the runway threshold, approximately 9 metres to the right of the runway edge lights and approximately 35 metres feet right of the centreline of the 45 metre-wide runway.
During the initial take-off roll, the pilots reported that they had "felt a sensation similar to the aircraft going over pavement joints (which) was considered unremarkable". The aircraft was found to have "regained the runway surface" in the vicinity of the displaced threshold markings, at which point, it had been accelerating through 113 KCAS.
It was noted that continuity of the white runway surface edge line at taxiway intersections was in accordance with the applicable FAA AC150/5340-1 and Volume 1 of ICAO Annex 14 Volume 1 Aerodrome Design and Operations but contrary to Canadian practice which includes introducing breaks in these lines at such intersections. It was also noted that the runway shoulders of the incident runway had been constructed so as to be "capable of supporting an aircraft if it runs off the side of the runway".
It was noted that at night, Denver taxiway and runway lighting was usually kept at 'stage two' intensity out of a possible five stages unless otherwise requested and was at this level at the time of the investigated event. All the green taxi centreline and lead-on lights were found to have been functioning normally and, in the absence of overwritten CVR data, the Investigation was unable to establish why this continuous line of lights onto the centreline "did not catch the flight crew's attention". It was concluded that there was "no other adjacent lighting conditions that could give the erroneous perception that the right (north) runway edge line and lights could be the runway centreline".
The failure to reject the take off once the misalignment had been recognised and the subsequent failure to promptly inform ATC of the possible presence of FOD on the runway were considered. In respect of the former, the Captain's absolute discretion to reject or continue take off in the event of an abnormal situation occurring at low speed was noted, although the associated requirement that if a "condition or situation that may affect the safety of flight is observed, it will immediately be voiced (and) if a rejected take-off is not required, the Captain will call 'continue' " which was not reported to have occurred. In respect of the latter, it was considered that it would have been "appropriate" to inform ATC.
It was found that neither of the pilots were frequent users of Denver - it was the Captain's second night departure and the First Officer's first departure from the airport. It was noted that having been instructed by ATC to maintain visual contact with the aircraft departing ahead, this may have had the effect of reducing the attention given by the Captain to ground visual aids whilst aligning the aircraft for take-off. It was considered "likely that the Captain relied on peripheral vision to align the aircraft and may have perceived the white runway side stripe marking, which intersected the taxiway centreline, as the runway centreline marking (which) would explain why the aircraft was initially aligned to the right of the right runway edge lights".
It was noted that there had been three very similar previously documented (but not investigated) events in January/February 2006 during which unidentified aircraft damaged the runway 25R edge lights at night and that there had been another since the event under investigation. These other events were not reported and thus had only been discovered during routine runway/taxiway inspections so that as with the late reporting of the investigated event, prior to debris discovery, other aircraft were at risk of damage.
"The Pilot Flying likely relied on peripheral vision to taxi the aircraft because of the requirement to maintain separation with the aircraft departing ahead. This, combined with the aerodrome markings, resulted in the misalignment of the aircraft and the initiation of the take-off from the asphalt runway shoulder instead of the runway centreline."
(1) A rolling take-off reduces the crew's time for conducting a thorough outside visual check and verifying runway alignment before initiating the take-off roll.
(2) Taxiways B1 and A2 centrelines curve onto the runway edge line. At night, this could result in pilots aligning their aircraft with the runway side stripe marking instead of with the runway centreline.
(3) This occurrence was reported to company dispatch and air traffic services two hours after the event. During that time, debris left by the broken lights could have posed a hazard for other aircraft using Runway 25R.
Finally it was formally documented as an Other Finding that "the other three similar events that happened on Runway 25R at Las Vegas were not reported (and) failure to declare such events deprives investigators of important data that could help to identify the contributing factors that lead to this type of event".
at taxiway B1, the radius of the taxiway centreline was extended past the runway edge line to meet the runway centreline in the displaced threshold arrow area.
at taxiway A2, the radius of the taxiway centreline that curves to the runway edge line was erased, and the taxiway centreline now extends to the threshold markings.
However, these actions only had the effect of standardising the taxi lines onto the runway at these two points with the one that was already in place at the taxiway used by the incident aircraft at the time it was misaligned and so were actions not derived directly from the circumstances of the investigated event or directed at the prevention of an identical occurrence.
The Final Report of the Investigation was authorised for release on 1 February 2007 and such action followed. No Safety Recommendations were made.

Couples must contact the priest or deacon in sufficient time to complete the paperwork and attend the marriage preparation course in the parish. The time for the preparation will vary, but at least four to six months before the marriage. This is not intended as a waiting period, but rather one of preparation. The purpose of this requirement is to insure adequate time for a couple to participate in and benefit from the steps of the marriage preparation process. In the event that the preparation reveals problems or obstacles to the marriage, this affords a couple more time to resolve their difficulties through such steps as, for example, counseling and canonical procedures. In certain cases, circumstances can arise that make the time requirement very difficult to observe.
Exceptions to this requirement should be made only for grave pastoral reasons and the couple should still be obliged to take part in all the steps of the marriage preparation process. The inability or unwillingness of the couple to understand the need for an adequate preparation for marriage does not constitute a grave reason. Please contact the parish office at 946-1675.

The Post-Summit Scramble
Next Steps for University Leaders

Cameron Monagle says the Quebec government referring to the indexation of tuition fees as a "relative freeze" is a "load of baloney."
The Federation étudiante universitaire du Québec's internal affairs coordinator addressed the Concordia Student Union council last week to explain the federation's feelings regarding the outcome of Quebec's Summit on Higher Education.
Monagle explained that the government's decision to index tuition fees to the level of growth in household disposable income levels would result in a hike of $70 next year.
Indexation—pushed through by the Parti Québécois without a consensus from the summit's participants—is not the only policy change to result from the summit.
The government is now taking steps to address concerns that student groups and others have been voicing for some time.
"Everything pretty much except tuition went really well," he said.
In the weeks and months to come, five newly formed chantiers de travail, or working groups, will try to tackle various projects to reform the system, including a new law on universities, the creation of a council on universities, improvements to the CEGEP network and changes to institutional fees and the university funding model.
The summit also resulted in a boost for financial aid and a $1.7 billion reinvestment in the higher education system.
Fédération étudiante universitaire du Québec
Although FEUQ President Martine Desjardins says she's disappointed vis-à-vis indexation, she's optimistic about what else was gained at the summit.
"It's a step in the right direction," she said, explaining her satisfaction with the gains to student aid, and positive outlook regarding the potential outcomes of the chantiers du travail.
Desjardins said that although it was clear to her that the government had not been willing to negotiate on indexation at the summit, it would be inaccurate to say that everything had been predetermined when it came to other aspects, like what would be dealt with in the chantiers.
For example, the FEUQ was able to push the government to establish a chantier on university financing to deal with the issue of mandatory institutional fees.
"The government didn't know we were going to put this on the table," Desjardins said. "When you saw the video you see that Pierre Duchesne wasn't aware that this was coming up."
For this reason and others, Desjardins asserted that the summit would have been a "catastrophe" if the FEUQ hadn't gone.
"People say, '[The Association pour une solidarité syndicale étudiante] did a good thing boycotting the summit," she said. "But if the FEUQ did the same thing [as ASSÉ], we would be facing not only the tuition fee hikes but also new institutional fees with no [improvements] to the financial aid program."
Boycotting the summit would have also meant missing out on participating in the chantiers. Now, the federation is set to be very active in these working groups, including one concerning financial aid—which will be headed by an ex-president of the FEUQ.
A different chantier will deal with the creation of a council on universities, something that the FEUQ has long been calling for.
"The mandate that will be included in this council is very important," Desjardins said. "We want to have a look into what's going on inside the universities. So it will be a fight again in the chantiers for sure, between us and the administrations."
Additionally, Desjardins thinks that the possibility of an umbrella law for universities, the task of another chantier, will "make sure that we will have a real discussion about where the university is going."
The FEUQ hopes that a more rounded definition of the collective mission of Quebec universities will be included in the law.
"A lot of people are saying that [the mission] is teaching and research," she said. "But services for the collectivity should also be included."
Desjardins said that the FEUQ's past research and firm policy stances, already voted on by its member associations, will allow the federation to begin work immediately in the chantiers.
"We need to be very prepared," she said. "And we are."
Concordia Student Union
"We've made significant gains," said CSU VP External Simon-Pierre Lauzon when asked what he thought of the outcome of the summit. "Of course, we didn't win on everything," he added.
"We are satisfied with most of what happened there, save the indexation."
Lauzon said he was still writing a report on the summit to present to council, and that the CSU had not yet formulated any policy pertaining to the chantiers.
When the report is finished, however, Lauzon plans to "start working on what exactly we're going to be pushing for at those chantiers.
"At this point, we need to look at the individual files [and see] what we can accomplish," he said.
Although the CSU will not sit directly on any of the chantiers, it will be represented at them by the FEUQ.
"We're going to be involved in a direct manner where we meet and decide what we're going to be pushing for," Lauzon said.
Lauzon said he was satisfied with the federation's work at the summit.
"If you compare the membership of the FEUQ to the membership of other national student organizations and the results that they brought back from the summit, I think we are largely winning," he said.
"I think that's a proof that we took the right approach, that we have tangible gains for our students."
Describing his mixed impression of the Summit on Higher Education last week, Concordia President Alan Shepard said, "Like most negotiations, nobody went away from them feeling like they were the great victor."
Shepard supported several of the government's decisions, including its plans to create a National Council of Universities and to index tuition to the annual growth in disposable income—which would amount to a roughly $70 increase in tuition per full-time student per year.
On the other hand, Shepard warned that the university spending cuts mandated by the government might endanger the quality of higher education in Quebec.
As Premier Pauline Marois and Minister of Higher Education Pierre Duchesne announced at the summit last week, the government is standing by its decision to trim $250 million from universities' budgets despite heavy opposition from the Conference of Rectors and Principals of Quebec Universities, as well as from other quarters.
Late on Feb. 25, the government reached a deal with CREPUQ allowing universities to stagger the $124 million in cuts initially planned for this year until Apr. 30, 2014.
Shepard said university rectors are still negotiating with the government to find a way to soften the impact of the cuts.
"For me, the government—they don't really want to make these cuts, and we're finding it difficult to do it. So everybody has been looking for a solution that would meet everyone's needs," he said.
For Concordia, the spending cuts amount to $13.2 million a year for two years, out of a total operating budget of roughly $400 million.
"It's not an inconsequential amount of money," said Shepard.
Referring to a CREPUQ report, Shepard argued that there is a "substantial gap" in per-student funding between universities in Quebec and the funding in the rest of Canada.
"We need to be working for the prosperity of our alumni—their intellectual prosperity, their cultural, their economic prosperity," he said.
"I want to be the president of one of Canada's great universities, and I think you guys want to be graduates of a place that you're really proud of, that had the resources it had to deliver an intellectual environment, the research opportunities, and co-op opportunities—whatever it may be that you're seeking here," Shepard said.
At the Summit for Higher Education, the Quebec government announced it was raising the parental contribution threshold (the income level at which parents are expected to contribute to their child's university expenses) from $28,000 to $45,000, and that it will award an additional $263 million in bursaries from 2013-14 to 2018-19.
Chantiers:
Five different chantiers de travail, or working groups, will be formed as a result of the summit. The groups, respectively, will be tasked with:
1. Drafting an umbrella act for universities, which will establish governance rules
2. Establishing a structure for a Quebec-wide council on universities, the Conseil national des universités
3. Making improvements to the CEGEP system
4. Revising university financing policy, including mandatory institutional fees
5. Improving the financial aid system

The Department of Justice's announcement on Nov. 6 of a guilty plea by a trader from JPMorgan for manipulating prices in COMEX precious metals futures is the biggest news possible. The actual guilty criminal plea is news enough, but the real takeaway is that the DOJ left no doubt that this was an ongoing investigation. Not only does this investigation zero in on JPMorgan, but it is a stark departure from the hands-off treatment of JPM by the primary commodities regulator, the CFTC. Is the DOJ focusing on JPMorgan's crime of manipulating silver prices downward since it took over Bear Stearns in 2008 or is it just looking at the short term, manipulative, effects of spoofing? Hopefully, Justice is looking into JPM's impossibly perfect trading record of never taking a loss in COMEX trading for more than a decade and its illegal accumulation of physical metal at artificially depressed prices.
JPMorgan took over Bear Stearns (at the request of the U.S. Treasury Dept. and Federal Reserve) in March 2008, and along with that takeover came the assumption of Bear's concentrated short position in COMEX silver (and gold) futures. This is verified in the public record. At the time of JPM's takeover, the price of silver was over $20, the highest price it had been in 28 years. From the moment that JPMorgan assumed Bear Stearns' short position in March 2008, the price of silver went down and remained below $20 until late 2010.
There were, of course, a number of silver price rallies and declines over that time and on every rally, JPMorgan increased its short position in COMEX silver futures and on every price decline, JPMorgan bought back all or most of its added shorts at a lower price than it sold short at, earning itself profits and never taking a loss. Throughout this entire time (March 2008 thru Sep 2010), JPMorgan was the largest single short holder in COMEX silver futures, holding a net short position that varied between 20,000 to 40,000 contracts (100 million to 200 million ounces).
Due to developing tight physical conditions, the price of silver rose from under $20 in Sep 2010 to nearly $50 by the end of April 2011, a seven month period in which JPMorgan's roughly 20,000 contract net short position (100 million ounces) caused it to sustain an unrealized loss of approximately $3 billion. Such a large unrealized loss prompted JPMorgan to do two things: quickly arrange for a price smash of historic proportions and ensure it would never find itself in this predicament again. JPMorgan engineered the price decline, starting with a $6 Sunday evening price smash on May 1, 2011 and continuing to the present, some seven-and-a-half years later.
The real criminal genius of JPMorgan has been its preventive solution to ever again having a large run-up in the price of silver threaten it with catastrophic losses on its short position. Its solution was to accumulate physical metal on the sly as it continued to manipulate silver prices lower. JPMorgan pulled off this dual mandate – never lose on added shorts and acquiring physical metal on the cheap – flawlessly, from April 2011 to the present.
JPMorgan has always been net short in COMEX silver futures, never net long. Most often, since March 2008, JPMorgan has been the largest single short in COMEX silver futures, perhaps for 99% of the time. Only a fool could conclude it's a coincidence that silver prices have declined for nearly all the past eleven years while JPMorgan has always been net short in COMEX futures. The accumulation of a massive physical position while the acquirer was the largest paper short seller is the most egregious act of market manipulation in history.
I have chronicled JPMorgan doing all this for years, but the beautiful thing is that it would be a snap for the Justice Department to certify the facts I have outlined. All the records exist for the DOJ to verify what I have described. The CFTC and the CME Group maintain detailed records of all large-trader activity. Whereas I have to deduce what JPMorgan's position is from analyzing the data in the Commitments of Traders (COT) and Bank Participation Reports, the CFTC and CME have complete access to the actual identities of the traders and their positions on every single day. The DOJ is quite capable of verifying (or refuting) all the claims I've made about how JPMorgan accumulated the massive amount of physical silver I allege it has acquired. It would be a snap for the DOJ to ascertain if JPMorgan was the big buyer of Silver Eagles, the big skimmer of COMEX silver warehouse inventory and the big converter of SLV shares into metal.
That's why I find the existence of a Justice Department investigation of JPMorgan to be the most important development possible. If there is one single entity capable of connecting the factual dots in such a high-level and important matter, it is the U.S. Department of Justice. That's why I wrote to them back in April. I can't say if that is what put them on the trail, but neither can I rule it out. What I can say is that week in and week out for a decade, I have been directly accusing JPMorgan, as well as the CFTC and the CME Group, of running or allowing a massive ongoing silver price manipulation and not once have I heard a direct denial or rebuttal from any of them. How could I not be excited about the prospects of the Justice Department settling this matter once and for all? It will be the biggest thing in the history of the silver market and a time of great excitement for silver investors.

HomePod Now Supports French, German, and Canadian English, While Canadian French Coming Later This Year
Tuesday May 29, 2018 2:42 pm PDT by Joe Rossignol
Apple today announced that the HomePod will be available in Canada, France, and Germany beginning June 18, but ahead of then, the speaker has gained support for languages and dialects spoken in each country.
Today's new 11.4 software update for HomePod enables Siri to speak in French, German, and Canadian English in any region, including the United States. Apple says Canadian French will be added in a subsequent software update coming later this year, but it has not provided a specific timeframe as of yet.
The new software update should be pushed to the HomePod automatically after updating to iOS 11.4 on a paired iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but it can also be installed manually through the speaker's settings in the Home app.
To change a HomePod's default language, open the Home app on a paired iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch running iOS 11.4, 3D Touch or long press on the HomePod's icon, tap on Details, and tap on Languages. There are now six languages, including the previous options of U.S. English, U.K. English, and Australian English.
Canadian residents who purchased a HomePod in the United States, for example, can now switch from American English to Canadian English.
While the switch from American English to Canadian English doesn't yield any significant differences, it does allow the language of a paired iOS device to be set back to Canadian English as well, as in Canada, a HomePod and paired iOS device must be set to the same language for Siri to deliver Personal Requests.
Despite support for Canadian English, the HomePod still isn't completely localized for Canada, as Siri still doesn't work with music charts, for example, as demonstrated by MacRumors reader Pedro Marques in the video below.
Of course, the HomePod should gain support for additional languages as it launches in more countries in the future.

LOL. HomePod doesn't even understand English.

UK, Canadian and Australian English are the one and the same, it's only the U.S that don't get this and invent their own lazy version. When I read the English languages supported I had a laugh.
Australian is the same as Canadian? You must not be a native speaker if you think so. Australian is close to some British dialects but by no stretch of imagination is it close to Canadian.
Canadian English is very close to American English. Canadian English has it's own pronunciation patterns in different parts of Canada, though. I can recognize people from Ontario pretty easily by the way they pronounce "about" (like "a boat"). But, I've met Americans from the areas adjacent to Ontario whose pronunciation is exactly the same as residents of Ontario.
Canadians from the West Coast (in Vancouver and Victoria, BC) speak exactly like Americans who live on the West Coast (in Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, etc.). The only real difference between the Canadian and American English is the spelling, which in Canada mostly follows British standards.
Canadian English is nothing like Australian which is a lot closer to English. Canadian English is American with a few spelling deviations, which, considering English roots, make no sense.
American English spelling- at a minimum was standardised around real-world pronunciation for the American continent.
American spelling was intentionally changed by Noah Webster following the American Revolution. Canadians mostly follow British spelling rules, except for in some words American spelling is acceptable as well.

Canadian English, eh?
It's a boat time.
Take off, hoser!

oh this is intere.... no never mind its not.
I think the home pod will look nice on my shelf next to my Apple newton.
Sorry Apple. You are too late to this party. Sonos all the way in my house and not making any changes since I am so vested in sonos.
Baymowe335
Works fine for me. Maybe try speaking more clearly?
larrylaffer
Shouldn't Canadian Siri say `soarry`?
neveruseq
Siri fail? That's not interesting.
Mattel Hoverboard in the background? THAT'S interesting
I've always had more success when I use Siri in Australian, I'm British, but for some reason it seems to understand me more.
Note: I said more success, not complete success, Siri is still about as much use as a chocolate teapot.
There is very little difference. As you noted Canadians typically use British spelling as opposed to American spelling but the pronunciations of those words is usually identical to American.
I would imagine it just makes the HomePod more compatible with the slight pronunciation variations in words like "sorry" and "home" as well as variations in how Canadians say things like "grade 9" instead of "9th grade" etc.
Or maybe if Canadians say, "Hey Siri, set the second *storey* thermostat to X degrees" instead of *second floor*. Like you said, this may have more to do with word usage than pronunciation.
Also, a Canadian would certainly say something like, "Hey Siri, I locked my house, eh?" Siri would need to understand that this is actually a question.

I'm not an expert in French, but my son is in French immersion school and is fluent in French at the age of 8. He has had teachers from France, Belgium, and Quebec. I've read up on the differences between Metropolitan French and Quebec French, and it doesn't seem that there is that much of a difference. Some words are different, like the word for blueberry is different in France and in Quebec, and of course, the infamous ARRET in Quebec used differently from the way it's used in France. Also, I remember reading that the word for getting out of the car in Quebec is the same word as the word for getting off a ship, whereas in France it's the same word as for getting off a horse. But, French as spoken by educated French speakers in Quebec is completely standard and fully mutually comprehensible with Metropolitan French. Now, when you go to remote areas of Quebec, then all bets are off, but I'm sure it's the same thing in France. I believe that the differences between standard Quebec French (as it's spoken in Montreal and Quebec City) and standard Metropolitan French (e.g as it's spoken in Paris) are minimal. They are two standard dialects of the same language, with the differences between the two being similar to those between standard British English and standard American English.
I can see a reason fo adapting Siri to Quebec French; however, I see no point whatsoever in Siri making a distinction between Canadian and American English. They should name it North American English and call it a day.
Well, even if the words used are the same (they're not), the way they're pronounced is VERY DIFFERENT.
Paris French sounds very different than even how educated people around Quebec would speak (I'm an Engineer and got my degrees from Polytechnique, HEC and McGill). I'm french Canadian and I've lived in France for years (and in the US too) and even dated a french guy for 5 years so I think I'm well versed on the differences.
Of course, we can understand Paris French (cause it's the one mostly used in French movies), but that doesn't mean the different is not significant enough to make speech recognition difficult.
Anyone who thinks Canadian English sounds like US English has a very poor ear for dialects.
It doesn't sound the same as upstate NY, NYC, Connecticut, Massachusetts or Michigan or Illinois.
So, where on earth does it sound similar as?
Just listen to say, the CBC or CTV or GLOBAL national news and tell me it sounds the same as CNN, ABC, CBS news... Come on.
Zenithal
Does this mean the Home Pod will apologize when its Quebecois owners drop 'tabarnak' every three or four words in a fit of rage at why it's not working correctly?


As we enter the forty-day season of Lent, we begin with Ash Wednesday. Ash Wednesday is a Christian holy day of prayer, fasting, and repentance that has been observed for centuries. It is an introspective time focused on your life in Christ and ends with an optional cross made from ashes on your forehead, to remind us that we were made from dust and to dust we will return. At Renovation Church, we are holding a come and go service in the morning so you can stop by on your way to work, school, the store, or wherever your morning takes you. All are welcome!

Home Latest News Champions League Zidane: If Real Madrid keep playing like this, I'm sure we'll qualify
Zidane: If Real Madrid keep playing like this, I'm sure we'll qualify
Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane is confident his side will be able to qualify from the group stage of the 2020/21 UEFA Champions League if they can maintain their performance.
Madrid faced Borussia Mönchengladbach on Tuesday in their second group game and for the second midweek in a row, Zidane's side needed to come from behind with the first one being against Shakhtar Donetsk which they were unable to secure at least a point.
However, against the German side, Los Blancos scored two late goals to make two all after going behind by two goals until the 86th minute.
And the manager was largely positive with the way his side played against Marco Rose's team on Tuesday.
"The result shows the character in this team," Zidane said afterwards. "We deserved to draw and I think even more. I like the reaction and it's an important point.
"We played well throughout the match, but it's true that we lacked something because we didn't win. We believe in the plan and we deserved the draw.
"There was a lot of good and there are no easy games. If we play like this then we'll do good things and we'll progress to the knockout rounds."
Eden Hazard was given his first appearance of the season against Mönchengladbach in the 70th minute with Madrid trailing by two goals and the Belgium international looked lively for the 20 minutes he had on the pitch.
"That was the plan," Zidane said of his introduction of Hazard. "It was to try to play him. I don't know how we'll get him back, as we play every three days. We'll see."
Marco Asensio came off in the 84th minute of game after being kicked but the Frenchman dismissed claims the Spaniard could be out.
"He played well," Zidane commented. "He was dynamic.
"We know Marco's quality, but we were all good. I think he just took a blow."
With the games coming in quick succession, fatigue is already setting in and the manager isn't sure how to stop it.
"We're going to try to [manage the fatigue]," Zidane said. "We won't be able to stop and we've had a lot of wear and tear. It is what it is.
"It's going to be a difficult year for everyone. But today we have to be very proud of what we did."

Environmental Compliance Management: Are Your EHS Teams on Speaking Terms?
Keeping an accurate record of your different environmental outputs - i.e. air emissions, water discharges, and waste generation - throughout the year is the foundation of Toxic Releases Inventory reporting (TRI). If your record keeping isn't accurate, your annual report won't have legs to stand on. But there's another pressing issue in EHS management that can also jeopardize your TRI reports and put you at risk for fines, even if your record keeping is pristine.
That urgent issue is this: segregated EHS teams that don't speak to each other.
Sadly, many enterprises divide their environmental compliance management into different emissions media or reports, and assign disconnected teams of EHS professionals to each one… without ever giving them a way to communicate properly. For example, a squad of air specialists might be doing the air reporting for a group of facilities, while a totally separate group of EHS managers from another site is assigned to do the National Emissions Inventory report for those same facilities.
What the EPA is reporting seeing more and more is that group A and group B aren't communicating – they aren't sharing records, they aren't agreeing on estimation methodologies, they are filing reports that paint the same overall picture. Consequently, enterprises end up shooting themselves in the foot by filing conflicting reports that just end up getting them audited.
Here's one classic real-world example our EPA auditor contacts have seen: an enterprise was required to track and report mercury releases from multiple sites. A mercury task force was created, and they used the most stringent monitoring estimation methodology to track releases and begin reducing them. At another site of this enterprise, a TRI reporting team was in charge of submitting mercury releases under TRI guidelines. However, the TRI team never consulted the mercury team and used a much more general estimation methodology and came up with vastly different numbers.
The EPA looked at both reports and wondered why the enterprise was reporting two very different sets of numbers. The difference was so vast, an audit was called for, and it was revealed that the enterprise was inconsistent in how it was calculating and reporting emissions – even though it did the right thing by creating a task force and using a more accurate monitoring method.
Without a central repository of EHS data, and without an approach to verifying TRI data, you are putting your business at risk for noncompliance fines and penalties. ERA's compliance specialists recommend using a tool that creates a centralized, online database for all your records and reports, so that even if you aren't in constant communication with other EHS teams, you can be confident you are all using the same data and same methodologies. You can see how ERA helps enterprises like yours create a master centralized database here.
For the above reasons, ERA Environmental has teamed up with a recently-retired high level EPA TRI Coordinator to find out how the EPA hunts down red flags in TRI reports based on inconsistencies in reported emissions. We've created a short, free eBook that will teach you how to use your own NEI (National Emissions Inventory) data to determine if you are being consistent in the picture you are painting for the EPA and if you're triggering any red flags that will get you audited.
How to use that data to spot red flags in your TRI report in order to avoid fines and penalties, including insight on the auditors' calculation used to determine if your NEI and TRI data aren't in sync.
The free eBook is available now, and is a must-read for any TRI reporter. You can download your free copy today by clicking the offer below. Learn more about TRI reporting red flags, improving accuracy, and protecting yourself from fines.


It's the buddy cop franchise that keeps on giving as Chris Tucker confirms he and Jackie Chan will be back for Rush Hour 4.
Focusing on Tucker's Detective James Carter and Chan's Chief Inspector Lee as they meet from two different sides of the world, 1998's Rush Hour became a surprise hit. Earning an impressive $244.4 million at the worldwide box office against a budget of just $33 million, it brought the boys back for two more installments and a big question mark hanging over a fourth movie. Fans have been waiting over a decade for any concrete news, but it looks like the boys will be backflipping into theaters once again.
Tucker is certainly hyping that Rush Hour 4 will be bigger and better than the previous movies, but having already toured Los Angeles, Hong Kong, and Paris where can we go next? The 46-year old doesn't tell us how long will it be before Carter and Lee polish their badges and head back out on the mean streets for another installment, but with both stars speaking in relative succession, it surely can't be that long before production begins.
Given that the series bowed out with Rush Hour 3 in 2007, do we really need to go back? Director Brett Ratner and writer Jeff Nathanson joked on the DVD commentary that a fourth movie could come out in 2012, but that obviously did not come to pass. Also, with Ratner's recent sexual assault allegations, it would be highly unlikely that he could return, let alone that fans would warm to the idea. However, with Rush Hour being Ratner's baby, would it be the same without him?
Also, let's not forget (even if many would like to) the short-lived Rush Hour TV series. Airing on CBS for a single season in 2016, it seemed that fans couldn't get behind a small screen version of Carter and Lee - and possibly the franchise as a whole. We may be caught in the era of remakes and reboots, but alongside the likes of Lethal Weapon, Die Hard, and Beverly Hills Cop, even the biggest of fans might struggle to find an argument that Rush Hour hasn't already had its day. That being said, it looks like Chan and Tucker are keen to bring the cops back out of retirement for one more day on the job.

German Catholics assess rise, fall of Nazism from personal perspectives
On: 2/13/2015, By Reviewed Graham Yearley , In: Books
These are the covers of "My Battle Against Hitler" by Dietrich Von Hildebrand and "His Humble Servant: Sister M. Pascalina Lehnert's Memoirs of Her Years of Service to Eugenio Pacelli, Pope Pius XII" by M. Pascalina Lehnert. The books are reviewed by Graham Yearley. (CNS)
"My Battle Against Hitler" by Dietrich Von Hildebrand, presented by John Henry Crosby with John F. Crosby. Image Books (New York, 2014). 327 pp., $28.
"His Humble Servant: Sister M. Pascalina Lehnert's Memoirs of Her Years of Service to Eugenio Pacelli, Pope Pius XII" by M. Pascalina Lehnert. St. Augustine Press (South Bend, Indiana, 2014). 214 pp., $18.
"My Battle Against Hitler" and "His Humble Servant" are two memoirs of German Catholics who both resisted the totalitarian menace of Nazism.
Von Hildebrand was a Protestant who became Catholic, a professor of philosophy and an ardent critic of National Socialism from its formation in the beer halls of Munich in the early 1920s until its defeat in 1945.
Sister M. Pascalina Lehnert belonged to the order of the Teaching Sisters of the Holy Cross and, starting in 1918, she worked as a housekeeper and eventually as an adviser to Eugenio Pacelli, when he was the papal nuncio to Germany. During World War II, when Cardinal Pacelli had been elevated to the papacy, he instructed Sister Pascalina to direct his clandestine services to hiding and supplying the thousands who had turned to the Vatican for help.
Von Hildebrand displayed from an early age a remarkable independence from the ideologies and prejudices of his time. Born in 1889 into a wealthy and artistic family (his father was a noted sculptor), the Von Hildebrands were nominal Protestants who baptized Dietrich, their only son, as was expected of members of their class.
But Dietrich displayed from a young age a fervor for religion uncharacteristic of his family. When taken to a Catholic church to view the paintings and sculptures as a child, he ignored the art and was seen genuflecting and praying at every station of the cross.
He despised all forms of anti-Semitism, even the milder forms commonly shared by most German Catholics and Protestants. He valued the integrity and holiness of individuals in a time when both fascism and communism saw the value of an individual as part of a collective mass serving the state. He recognized early that National Socialism appealed to the darkest instincts of Germans for militarism, ultra-nationalism and anti-Semitism at a time when Germany had been beaten and humiliated by the Allies.
Von Hildebrand started studying philosophy in 1906 and was a student of Edmund Husserl, one of the progenitors of phenomenology. Eventually, Von Hildebrand taught philosophy at the University of Munich through the 1920s until he was forced to flee Germany in 1933 to avoid arrest for his open opposition to Nazism.
He resettled in Vienna, and began a weekly newspaper, Der Christliche Standestaat (The Christian Corporate State), dedicated to attacking the falseness of Hitler's intellectual underpinnings for National Socialism. In 1938, Von Hildebrand and his wife were forced to flee Austria when Hitler annexed it. They went first to Switzerland, then France, and on to Portugal where they sailed first to Brazil and then the United States in 1940. Von Hildebrand would become a faculty member at Fordham University in New York, teaching there until 1960. He would continue to write and publish until he died in 1977.
Although Von Hildebrand was one of the earliest critics of Hitler and courageously kept up his opposition when many equally hostile to Nazism kept quiet, he was not well known and was content to remain that way, not seeing his work as anything extraordinary. The publication of "My Battle Against Hitler" is an attempt to bring the work of this remarkable man to the public.
The first two-thirds of the book is a memoir he wrote for his second wife, Alice Jourdain, who met Von Hildebrand years after he fled Germany and Austria. The remaining third is a collection of essays from Der Christliche Standestaat on the anti-personalism of modern states and ideologies, the menace of quietism, and the profound sin of anti-Semitism. The memoir is a whirl of theologians and philosophers and friends all largely unknown to contemporary readers, but the essays still have the sting of righteous anger and show the courage of a man willing to face up to evil and call it evil.
Sister Pascalina served as housekeeper and later as a personal adviser to Pope Pius XII for 40 years. Less than a year after Pius XII died, Sister Pascalina wrote her memoir, titled in English "His Humble Servant" but more accurately translated from the German as "I Was Allowed to Serve Him." The motive for her memoir was to honor the man who had been her employer from 1918 to 1958.
Her memoir is a stream of adulation for Pope Pius, in whom not the smallest fault is found. Eventually, her credibility is undermined by her devotion.
Sister Pascalina outlived the pontiff by 25 years and long enough to experience the questioning of Pope Pius' seeming lack of action and vocal opposition to Nazism during the Holocaust. Sister Pascalina passionately argued that the pope saved hundreds, if not thousands, of lives and provided direct support and relief to those in hiding from the Germans. She argued that Pope Pius believed that speaking out directly in criticism of Hitler would only result in more Catholics and Jews dying.
Pope Pius did make several statements against the persecution of Jews and Catholics. Sister Pascalina, at the direction of the pope, supervised the vast relief effort to Romans and people in hiding. What she does not mention is that she herself had become famous and that she was faced with similar allegations. Her last years were difficult and she hoped that the English translation of her book would help to restore Pope Pius' reputation. It was not completed at the time of her death on Nov. 13, 1983.
Most of the more scandalous charges against Pope Pius have been refuted, but his reputation has never been restored and questions remain. One of the unintended results of reading "His Humble Servant" is that it compels readers to read further about Pope Pius and the Second World War. "Pius XII and the Holocaust" by Jose M. Sanchez and "Pius XII and the Second World War" by Saul Friedlander are both balanced and thoughtful assessments of this controversy.
Also of interest: "Pope Pius XII and World War II: The Documented Truth: A Compilation of International Evidence Revealing the Wartime Acts of the Vatican," compiled and edited by Gary L. Krupp, fourth edition. Pave the Way Foundation (New York, 2014). 332 pp., $62.49.
Yearley is a graduate of the Ecumenical Institute at St. Mary's Seminary and University in Baltimore.

The Citroën Saxo and Peugeot 106 are closely related cars on the road and as rally cars. They share the same platform and even the design gives away the relationship to some degree. Interestingly the Peugeot 106 after its face lift was exclusively assembled in the Citroën Saxo factory in Aulnay. Of both there were similar rally versions and programs as well.
You will find that we have 3 different group A based Citroën Saxo in this database. The normal group A Saxo VTS was often a Citroën Cup car from their one-makes-series. Such it was not even full group A, while the body would look standard, as in line with normal group A. Like the Peugeot 106 Cup in the UK and France, the Saxo Cup was famous in France and Belgium. And most of the "normal" group A Saxos you find in international rally results therefore are more like group N+. The cars would come minus the interior panels compulsory in group N, such saving weight and money. The brakes would be full house group A, but the engines are only mildly tuned from 118BHP standard to some 140BHP. You could tune them further, but you would then lose eligibility in the Cup. Therefore indeed most "normal" group A Saxo would only have 140BHP. We already give examples on the success of this cup formula in the Peugeot 106 & 205 chapters. Examples stars found in the Saxo Cup are Sébastien Loeb & Francois Duval!
Interestingly in France there was as well a Citroën Saxo gravel cup. While Peugeot would use the same 106 S16 for gravel and asphalt, Citroën created an extra car for their gravel cup! The car was called Saxo T4. It is basically a Saxo asphalt Cup car, but the engine could be pushed to 155BHP and the car would feature 4x4!!!! There was never a Saxo 4x4 road car. That means it could never be entered into groupA or groupN and it was never intended to be a WRCar either, hence you would never see it at WRC or international level. I still thought I mention the Saxo T4 here, as it is an interesting project, quite brave and different to the norm.

Our family is, what some might call, Bible collectors. We have several Bibles in different translations and even different languages. So, we were super excited to review BibleForce: The First Heroes Bible. A comic-book style Bible?...Uh...Yes, please!
And yes you read that right! BibleForce: The First Heroes Bible is, in fact, a comic-book style Bible. Now, I should clarify that while this Bible does follow scripture, it's not in something you'd use for family Bible study. I'd probably describe it more as a Bible storybook because you can't necessarily reference scripture. It literally reads like a storybook.
One of the reasons I love this story Bible so much is because it teaches kids familiar stories from the Bible. But it does so in a fun and engaging way. It's a great option for visual learners. My daughter is very much a visual learner and has an incredibly photographic memory. She loves this Bible and has had a much easier time recalling and reiterating stories from the Bible since we've been using it!
Originally when I had opted to review this Bible, I had my son in mind and wanted to get it for him. But my girls actually enjoy it as well. I'd even venture to say more than their brother does! Not that I can blame them. It really is cool!
So, essentially it covers the major events of the Bible and does so in a comic book format. I love the illustrations and the fact that there are pictures with each caption. They are colorful, vivid, and are very "comic book-y" in nature. I think even for an avid comic book collector, this story Bible will not disappoint.
Here they're covering the creation of Adam. I love that my kids are able to better connect with scriptural figures and biblical events. Having that visual element has really helped when it comes to their memorization of key details and timelines.
Speaking of timelines, BibleForce gives a lot of great information. They have maps, timelines, and give fun tidbits about scriptural books, people, and concepts.
Another cool feature is that you get a FREE audio app with the Bible. It allows your child to read along or to have their BibleForce Bible read to them. My eldest chooses not to use it but it's a neat feature to have for my younger ones who aren't reading yet.
My kid's are really enjoying BibleForce: The First Heroes Bible! My husband and I enjoy reading it to the kids and I've even found myself reading it...like alone without the kids...if that says anything lol.
 Even though, as I mentioned before, it's not a "study bible" bible, it's a fun and highly effective way to engage kids with scriptural events and people. I can honestly say I don't have anything negative to say about it. It's a family-friendly buy and great for boys, girls, kids, and adults alike. We love it and it gets a solid 5 stars from us!
Until next time, Be encouraged!

Der Reliance-Creek-Nationalpark (englisch Reliance Creek National Park) ist ein nur 30 Hektar großer Nationalpark in Queensland, Australien.

Lage
Er befindet sich auf halbem Weg zwischen dem Pioneer-Peaks-Nationalpark und Mackay auf der Höhe von Dolphin Heads etwa fünf Kilometer von der Küste entfernt. Im Nationalpark gibt es keine Straßen, Wanderwege oder sonstige Besuchereinrichtungen.

In der Nachbarschaft liegen die Nationalparks Cape Hillsborough, Mount Martin und Pioneer Peaks.

Flora und Fauna
Palmendominierter, küstennaher tropischer Regenwald ist die vorherrschende Vegetationsform. Sie gilt heute als gefährdet, obwohl sie vor der Besiedlung durch die Europäer die niedrig gelegenen Ebenen um Mackay fast vollständig bedeckte. Heute sind weniger als zehn Prozent in einem ursprünglichen oder quasi-ursprünglichen Zustand erhalten. Besonders wichtig ist diese Art von Regenwald, um saisonal Nahrung für Vögel, insbesondere Zugvögel und früchtefressende Vögel, bereitzustellen. Besonders schützenswert sind die bedrohten oder fast bedrohten (engl.: near threatened) Pflanzenarten Sarcotheca heterophylla und Solanum sporadotrichum oder die Palmenart Trigonostemon inopinatus.

Der gleichnamige Reliance Creek schlängelt sich durch, saisonal überschwemmte Alluvialböden.

Rolling on a more sustainable, zero VOC paint in Polk Hall.
Flashback five years and paint being brushed and rolled on campus walls could be smelled before it was seen. The odor, created by emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), was the hallmark of painting for decades until the recent evolution of low VOC and zero VOC paints, which are now the wall paint of choice for NC State.
In addition to trimming paint cost by 24 percent, zero VOC paint has also rolled on health benefits while reducing environmental air quality impacts of paint. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, VOCs – which can be 10 times stronger indoors than outdoors – have been related to health effects such as eye irritation and headaches, as well as other long-term conditions.
The change to zero VOC paint has saved NC State money, limited health impacts of paint and improved environmental air quality.
Beyond paint selection, the university's dozen or so painters also use a special cleaning process that collects excess paint from brushes and rollers, solidifying it so that rinsing paint from these tools doesn't clog drain pipes or contaminate water. They also keep and reuse extra paint and paint buckets when possible and consolidate driving across campus to save fuel.
So, next time you walk into a freshly-painted campus building and can't smell the difference, that's another example of sustainability at NC State in action – saving money, improving health and reducing environmental impacts.

Top gear for pupils at 3D printed car race
Scores of schoolchildren got into top gear for a 3D printed model car race in Carmarthen.
Won by Team Citroen from Ysgol Llanllwni, the 10-lap Formula 3D Festival was held at Carmarthen Park's velodrome on Saturday June 22.
All the children who took part 3D printed and assembled the model racing cars themselves.
Team Ford from Ysgol Teilo Sant finished in second place, with Team Mazda from Ysgol Gynradd Nantgaredig coming third.
Swansea University loaned 3D printers to each school taking part, with a number of local car dealerships having featured as race event sponsors.
The University's College of Engineering laser-cut pendants for all participating pupils. Trophies were also 3D printed for the three fastest school teams on the day.
Each model car was fitted with a timing chip to monitor performance.
Dr Dimitris Pletsas, from Swansea University's College of Engineering, said: "The Formula 3D event was an outstanding success, reflecting the hard work of pupils and staff at eight Carmarthenshire primary schools for many months to prepare for the race.
"The event wasn't just fun. It was also educational because its build-up introduced the children to 3D printing technology, which is among the state-of-the-art techniques revolutionising manufacturing throughout the world.
"Along with the marketing and team-working skills the pupils learned, exposure to this kind of technology at a young age will no doubt stand the children in good stead in future, with schemes like the £1.3 billion Swansea Bay City Deal due to create thousands of jobs for local people here in South West Wales.
"The introduction of 3D printing projects such as the Formula 3D Festival in Carmarthenshire primary schools was a successful pilot that we'd like to see replicated regionally, nationally and internationally. This will inspire other schools across Europe to come together with the shared goal of engaging pupils in engineering from an early age.
"Projects like this will help ensure our rural schools are ready to embrace the fourth industrial revolution, where traditional engineering converges with emerging digital technologies."
Other event participants included Team Kia from Ysgol y Dderwen, Team MG from Ysgol Llanybydder, Team Volvo from Ysgol Carreg Hirfaen, Team Hyundai from Ysgol y Bedol, and Team Subaru from Ysgol Peniel.
Hywel Rees, a governor at Ysgol Gynradd Nantgaredig, worked closely with each school to help them secure a sponsorship deal from local car dealerships in the area.
Sponsoring car dealerships included HG Bryer of Dryslwyn, Gravells of Kidwelly, J & J Motors of Cross Hands, OC Davies of Carmarthen, Bassetts of Carmarthen, Lloyd Motors of Aberaeron, John F Hutchings Ltd, and Howards of Carmarthen.
Mr Rees said: "It was wonderful to work with the pupils and an added pleasure to see the joy on their faces when their hard work and enthusiasm came to fruition at the event."
Carmarthen Town Council sponsored the event, with local businesses having provided snacks and refreshments on the day. Banners were produced for each school taking part, along with event programmes.
Each model car was based on a design first developed by Daniel Norée, an award-winning Swedish 3D designer.
