Lawsuit alleges sexual abuse at South Valley church
The Albuquerque Journal/May 15, 2017
By Olivier Uyttebrouck
A Bernalillo County man alleges in a lawsuit against the Archdiocese of Santa Fe that he was sexually abused as a boy by two priests in the late 1980s at a South Valley church.
The lawsuit alleges that the Rev. Edward Donelan and the Rev. Laurier Labreche abused him while he served as an altar boy at Church of the Ascension Parish in Albuquerque.
The alleged abuse began in 1989 when the man, identified only as John Doe 66, began serving as an altar boy and continued until he was 13, according to the lawsuit, which was filed last month in 2nd Judicial District Court in Albuquerque.
It is the latest of 66 lawsuits filed by Albuquerque attorney Brad Hall against the archdiocese alleging clergy sexual abuse.
Attempts by the Journal to contact Labreche were unsuccessful. Public records list Labreche as an Albuquerque resident, but no one answered the door at the listed residence this week. Nor did anyone respond to a written message left at the house.
The archdiocese responded in a written statement that it does not comment on pending litigation, but it rigorously enforces a zero-tolerance policy regarding sexual misconduct by clergy and employees.
"The Archdiocese mandates that every priest, deacon, seminarian and lay person working with minors must be vetted, have passed a background check and completed the Archdiocesan safe environment training," the statement said. "Our safe environment coordinator, along with our long-standing Independent Review Board, ensures these policies are stringently followed."
Donelan, who died in 1994 at age 70, was the focus of several lawsuits in the 1990s alleging he had sexually abused boys at the New Mexico Boys' School in Springer, where he was chaplain from 1958 to 1970, and at a church-approved boys ranch near Farley, called Hacienda de los Muchachos, which he directed from 1966 until it was closed in 1978, according to Journal news reports.
Donelan also pastored several churches in Albuquerque, Mountainair, Springer and Santa Fe.

I told Farah to leave Salazar in 2015 - ex-UK Athletics chairman Warner

Mo Farah and Alberto Salazar pictured in 2015 at the Beijing World ChampionshipsFormer UK Athletics chairman Ed Warner says he tried to convince Mo Farah to leave his now disgraced ex-coach Alberto Salazar in 2015.Salazar was banned from the sport for four years in October 2019 after being found guilty of doping violations following an investigation by the US Anti-Doping Agency and a two-year court battle.The American ran the Nike Oregon Project, which was home to four-time Olympic champion Farah between 2011 and 2017 but has been shut down in the wake of Salazar's ban.
Warner says he visited Farah the night after the 2015 World Championships in Beijing - where the Briton won 5,000m and 10,000m gold to become the first man to pull off a distance 'triple-double' - to ask if he "wanted to take the risk" of staying with Salazar.In an exclusive interview with BBC Sport, Warner, who left UK Athletics (UKA) two and a half years ago after 11 years at the helm, said: "I would have loved Mo to walk away."He was adamant he wasn't going to change his coach."Farah, 36, has never failed a drugs test and is not accused of any wrongdoing.
The inside story of Salazar's downfall
Farah 'happy' for any anti-doping body to retest his samples
The investigation into Salazar began after a BBC Panorama programme in 2015.Farah said in Chicago last year that Salazar promised him the allegations in the programme were "not true". In January, he said he would have been "the first one out" had he known his former coach faced a ban for doping violations.Fresh allegations about the 61-year-old will be made in a new Panorama on Monday, which could lead to further scrutiny of UKA and Farah.Speaking in his first general athletics interview since leaving UKA, Warner reflected on the "very difficult circumstances" that he and the rest of the body's board faced when the first Panorama on Salazar aired.In light of the claims against the American coach, an internal UKA review into the Nike Oregon Project was led by former athlete and board member Dr Sarah Rowell.That concluded there was "no concern" about letting Farah continue to be coached by Salazar.Warner has now accepted that "possibly" the panel could have had an independent chair but he felt the right decision was made in the circumstances."All of our decisions had to be built around protecting our athlete - yes, a great medal prospect but ultimately a human being - and that presumption of innocence for Salazar as well. So it was a moral tight rope that we walked."We came out with maybe the least worst outcome. But the best outcome actually would have been Mo saying: 'Do you know what[/img]
"I talked him through the board's thinking at the time around the whole Oregon Project and his position within it, and I had one last go at saying to him: 'Are you sure you want to take that risk?'"He was adamant he wanted to stay with Salazar, so everything else fell into place behind that."Asked whether UKA had the power at the time to sever ties with Salazar and stop Farah working with him, Warner said: "Yes, absolutely you could have the power to do that."If Mo Farah is absolutely adamant he is not going to change coach then he would be outside of the UK Sport, UK Athletics system with no chance for us to provide protections for him medically."So you end up making a decision as to whether you want your leading athlete to be cast to the winds on the other side of the Atlantic or whether you want to maintain a strong degree of oversight - and that is the side of the line we came down on."I think there is a duty of care there to the athlete to ensure that all protections are put in place as far as is possible."Farah's representatives did not respond to a request for comment.In November, UKA commissioned an independent review into its handling of the Salazar situation, to be led by sports law barrister John Mehrzad."There are always lessons to be learned," said Warner. "I have spoken to John Mehrzad as part of that review and, as I understand it, that review will be published next month."It seems very much, from my conversations with him, to be about lessons learned not about pointing fingers of blame."

Local congregations have been heavily involved in mission work, local and world-wide, for generations. This has been going on without interference from the Synod in St. Louis. Congregations used to be thankful that they belonged to a grouping of like-minded, confessional Lutherans who believed congregational autonomy was Biblical — and important — and who were strenuously opposed to any interference from a Synod hierarchy. Sadly that's no longer true.
As 2016 drew to a close and Synod President Matt Harrison's salary ballooned to $252,573 from $210,156, Harrison ended his lucrative year by laying the blame for declining LCMS membership in the laps of what he considers not-pregnant-often-enough LCMS women.

Biography details
Carl Linnaeus , taxonomy zoologist in Sweden
Born 1707-05-23 in Sweden dead 1778-01-10 .
Hej Carl Linnaeus, also known after his ennoblement as Carl von Linné was a Swedish botanist, zoologist, taxonomist, and physician who formalised binomial Nomenclature, the modern system of naming organisms.
He is known as the "father of modern taxonomy". Many of his writings were in Latin, and his name is rendered in Latin as Carolus Linnæus (after 1761 Carolus a Linné).
Carl Linnaeus also named the elephant in 1753 from a specimen he thought came from Ceylon (present Sri Lanka), but at that time he considered all elephants belonging only to one Species.
Carl Linnaeus could hardly contain his excitement over his latest acquisition. "I am pleased that the little elephant has arrived. If he costs a lot, he was worth it. Certainly, he is as rare as a diamond," the founding father of modern Taxonomy wrote in a letter to a friend on 18 May 1753. Linnaeus dubbed the Species Elephas maximus, which is now commonly known as the Asian elephant, and listed the elephant's origin, or locality, as Zeylonae paludosis, or Ceylon, the island now called Sri Lanka. Whether or not Linnaeus knew its origin, his pickled pachyderm was cemented as the archetype for the Asian elephant.
Beginning in the 1800s, after the fetus was moved from the royal palace outside Stockholm to the building that became the Swedish Natural History Museum, curators there began to wonder whether their prized holding was mislabelled.
Later researchers enlisted Tom Gilbert to identify the Species, an ancient-DNA expert at the University of Copenhagen, but he failed, even using what was then the world's most advanced DNA sequencing technology.
Enrico Cappellini, a protein chemist, From a bit of oesophagus, Cappellini and Gilbert detected one protein that differed, by a single amino acid, between the two Species. The protein was a portion of the haemoglobin complex that carries oxygen in red blood cells. In Asian elephants, the amino acid is aspartate, whereas in African elephants it is glutamate. Cappellini's tests confirmed that Linnaeus's elephant encoded glutamate. Mystery solved: the fetus that Linnaeus had taken as the archetype of the Asian elephant was, in fact, an African elephant.

State Cabinet has agreed to a restructuring plan for Transperth which will see a mix of private and public passenger transport services in the metropolitan area.
Transport Minister Eric Charlton said that under the plan, public transport services in Perth would be opened up to competition with a new corporatised Transperth competing for metropolitan bus, train and ferry operations.
It was estimated the changes would save Transperth up to $41 million dollars annually by 1995-96.
"The changes will reduce the community cost of providing public transport while at the same time preserve the integrated multi-model nature of the system," Mr Charlton said.
"The system will remain fully integrated, but the changes will make it more efficient, effective and flexible by combining transport resources.
"It is a significant departure from the current system in that the plan utilises all resources available such as private and community bus operators and taxis - not just the resources of Transperth."
Under the plan, to be implemented over three years, Transperth would be restructured to separate its dual roles of public transport co-ordinator and public transport provider.
The Department of Transport would assume the role of transport service co-ordinator under an Executive Director, Metropolitan Transport.
It would be responsible for letting tenders for specific services, and ensuring that the Government's community service obligation was met, that fare structures were consistent across the board and that the standard of transport services remained the same.
Transperth would be corporatised to place it on a proper commercial footing. It would continue as the provider of public transport services, with the private sector invited to tender for passenger service contracts.
Mr Charlton said that suburban train services could continue to be provided by Westrail or a private operator on contract through the public transport co-ordinator.
He said competitive tendering for public transport operations would begin progressively next year.
"The plan will see the Government continuing to maintain the quality and standard of service while reducing the community cost of providing public transport," the Minister said.
"The burden on the community to subsidise the public transport system has grown in real terms from $90 million to more than $180 million in the last 10 years, and while the previous government spent hundreds of millions of dollars on improving infrastructure, it did not devise a way of paying for it."
New legislation would be required to establish the powers, roles and objectives of the corporate Transperth and existing legislation - the Metropolitan (Perth) Passenger Transport and the Transport Co-ordination Acts - would need amending.
Mr Charlton will report to Cabinet on the progress of the plan's implementation within six months.


Their proposal story is definitely one they will tell their grandchildren about. Dressed as Cleopatra, Dina celebrated turning 30 with an Arabian Nights birthday party. Philip was dressed as Marc Antony and in front of 120 family and friends, he put on a play entitled 'Dinapatra'. He showered Dinapatra with rose petals, gold coins and compliments. "The cresendo left me almost speechless when Philip knelt down on one knee and said "Who will provide you with the diamonds... My Dinapatra, will you marry me?" I said yes!!!"
Their wedding was just as spectacular as their proposal and was inspired by that fateful night - old Hollywood mixed with the colours of a peacock feather. Their vision of this theme was one of warmth, character and wonderful memories.
In traditional 1920's style Philip and his groomsmen donned their suspenders, bow-ties, hats and cigars and walked the streets of Newtown stopping in at a local eatery on King Street for breaky. The morning was topped off with a hair cut and face shave (in a traditional way of course) at Hawleywood's Barber Shop and Shaving Parlour.
Dina describes her morning before walking across Sydney's Hyde Park to St Mary's Cathedral to marry Philip as a buzzing excitement, "I am a singer! So I woke up that morning singing at the top of my lungs - 'I'M GETTING MARRIED TODAY!' I think everyone at the Sheraton on the Park heard me getting up out of bed that morning."
Father Brendan, who married Dina and Philip, provided the guests with an insight to what the peacock symbolised. There is an ancient legend that states that the flesh of a peacock never decays and that their love would be eternal.
Philip and Dina presented themselves to their guests with microphones in hand singing their favourite song 'always on my mind, always in my heart.' They were then picked up by their groomsmen in true Assyrian style and waved above the dance floor to the sound of applause from all their friends and family. Dina later serenaded Philip with 'Ava Maria'.
The couple included music from both their cultures and guests enjoyed ripping up the dance floor to Samoan, Assyrian, Persian and Greek music, just to mention a few!
"We wanted to do something special as a display on the day so we commissioned artist, Tanya Loviz to paint a portrait of us in the essence of the Arabian Nights party, where Philip proposed. The painting is titled "Hit the Jackpot!" The artwork was also featured in the wedding invitations, menu stands and message book.
Our wishing well was a gold treasure chest that was much like the treasure chests featured in our painting," Dina says.
Dina: "The magic of our day lived on as we hired a photographer in Santorini and Paris for another photoshoot with our wedding gear. My wedding dress has travelled to Europe and back".

Camden é uma cidade localizada no estado americano de Nova Jérsia, no Condado de Camden.

Demografia
Segundo o censo americano de 2000, a sua população era de 79 904 habitantes. Em 2006, foi estimada uma população de 79 318, um decréscimo de 586 (-0,7%). Camden pode ser a casa de algumas das cidades mais seguras nos Estados Unidos, mas afirma também a segunda cidade mais perigosa. Camden é classificado como número 1 em termos de assalto e detém posições no top 15 para o homicídio, auto roubo, estupro e assalto, então por isso teve uma caída de -0,7%. Em 2012, a população era de 77 245 pessoas, sendo 47,94% de negros, 2,11% asiáticos, 27,57% de qualquer outra raça e 4% de mestiços, além de 17,55% de brancos. Latinos de qualquer outra raça representam 47,25% dos habitantes (porto-riquenhos 22%, panamenhos 9%, guatemaltecos 7,25%, salvadorenhos 4%, colombianos 1,5% e brasileiros 0,8%). Brancos que se declaram caucasianos representavam apenas 1,96% dos habitantes.

Camden também é considerada a cidade mais pobre dos Estados Unidos, 2 entre 5 moradores vivem abaixo da linha da pobreza, sendo 35% da população pobre. A cidade sofre com intensa corrupção política, policial, e uma economia fraca e ineficiente, onde a maior empresa é uma fábrica de sopas enlatadas. Na educação, Camden gasta US$ 17 000 com cada estudante mas só 2/3 deles se formam. Foi uma das primeiras cidades americanas a divulgar seu índice de qualidade de vida (IDH) que era de 0,785, considerado médio-baixo para os padrões de vida dos Estados Unidos. O índice de homicídios é o maior dos Estados Unidos, com 2 333 mortes por 100 000 habitantes.

Alguns autores americanos dizem que Camden é negligenciada pelo governo e vista como uma cidade sem solução, visto que ao ter oportunidade muitos deixam a cidade ou recusam emprego nela por seus altos índices de violência.

Geografia
De acordo com o United States Census Bureau tem uma área de
26,8 km², dos quais 22,8 km² cobertos por terra e 4,0 km² cobertos por água. Camden localiza-se a aproximadamente 21 m acima do nível do mar.

Like you, I write in the mornings (but not quite so early!). I get my kids off to school, I sit down, and I write and I love that feeling throughout the day of having written.
But I love the idea that I'm also taking care of my dream first! Great post.
SO happy for the writing time. I agree about the writing. Obviously, I'm in a different place than you, so my 'me first' feels mostly like 'me second' still… Maybe that's an excuse, but if I don't think about how my 2yo is going to cry for an hour every time I leave him at hourly care [when they'll call me to come get him because it's been an hour], then I would just take him there and be gone for a few hours. Instead, I stay home, do some mommying and then put him for a nap in his own bed.
Anyway, so true about taking time for ourselves. That is the payment we can make!!
I totally agree with this concept. Having had businesses before, and not paying myself first, it was tough to want to continue them.
Yet, it is so true that we as authors need to plant our tush in the chair to be able to accomplish this goal. Right now, I still feel as if I'm in flux. While things have settled down, I don't find myself in front of the computer as much as I need or want.
Now that doesn't mean I'm not writing. Right now, I'll take anything and that anything happens to be in the form of a notebook that I frequently pull out and write on. I then transcribe it in a file. It's not the best but I am at least writing to the tune of about 1000 words a day.
Thanks for a wonderful article, Debora. I enjoyed it and it got the creative juices flowing!

Q: Issue with learning C scanf function when program is run (no errors during compile) C programming absolute beginners guide Chapter 8 I typed the following code verbatim from the book:
// Ex program #2 from Ch 8 of ABGTC
// File Ch8Ex2.c

// This is a sample program that asks users for some basic data and prints it on screen in order to show what was entered

#include <stdio.h>

main()
{
    float cost;
    char topping[24];
    int slices;
    int month, day, year;

    // The first scanf will look for a floating-point variable, the cost of a pizza
    // If the user doesn't enter a $ before the cost, it could cause problems

    printf("How much does a pizza cost in your area? Enter as $XX.XX\n");
    scanf(" $%f", &cost);

    // The pizza topping is a string, so your scanf doesn't need an &

    printf("What is your favorite one-word pizza topping?\n");
    scanf(" %s", topping);

    printf("How many slices of %s pizza can you eat in one sitting?", topping);
    scanf(" %d", &slices);

    printf("What is today\'s date (enter it in XX/XX/XX format).\n");
    scanf(" %d/%d/%d", &month, &day, &year);

    printf("\n\nWhy not treat yourself to a dinner on %d/%d/%d", month, day, year);
    printf("\nand have %d slices of %s pizza!\n", slices, topping);
    printf("It will only cost you $%.2f!\n\n\n", cost);

    return 0;
}

Zero errors arise when I compile (Using Code:Blocks, as recommended and used in the book); yet, once I run the program, after entering the first bit of user data requested (price of a slice of pizza, let's say I said it would be 03.45), the program prints out:
"What is your favorite one-word pizza topping?"
"How many slices of 03.45 pizza can you eat in one sitting?"

It feels like it is skipping the scanf line following the printf "What is your favorite...." and not only prompting the following printf line of "How many slices....", but inserting the 03.45 as the character array/string value that should have been entered by the user in the previous line.
I've tried a few different tweaks that have come to mind, but for the life of me I cannot figure out what I've done wrong. Any ideas?

A: The problem was that I wasn't using $ while inputting my response. When answering the first question of "How much does a pizza cost in your area? Enter as $XX.XX", I was responding 03.45, when I should have been responding $03.45 due to the scanf being $%f. Removing the $ from "$%f" and leaving the rest the same still yields the result desired in the final print functions.
Hopefully this helps somebody else using this book!

A: You do not check the return value of scanf().  scanf() returns the number of inputs correctly parsed and stored.
In case of failure, such as not matching a missing $ for format string " $%f", the offending input stays in standard input and will be read by the next call to scanf() or any other input function.
You can correct the program by reading input with fgets() and then parsing it with sscanf() until a correct conversion is performed or end of file is reached.
Note that you should protect the format %s to prevent buffer overflow: pass the maximum number of characters to read as scanf(" %23s", topping);
Here is an example:
#include <stdio.h>

int main(void) {
    char line[80];
    float cost;
    char topping[24];
    int slices;
    int month, day, year;

    for (;;) {
        printf("How much does a pizza cost in your area? Enter as $XX.XX\n");
        if (!fgets(line, sizeof line, stdin))
            return 1;
        if (sscanf(line, "$%f", &cost) == 1)
            break;
        printf("invalid input\n");

Der Véhicule Blindé de Combat d'Infanterie (kurz: VBCI, deutsch: Gepanzertes Infanterie-Kampffahrzeug) ist ein achträdriger (8×8), amphibischer Schützen- und Spähpanzer aus französischer Produktion.

Das VBCI wurde vom französischen Rüstungskonzern GIAT entwickelte und zusammen mit dem Lkw-Hersteller Renault Trucks produziert. GIAT ist in diesem Joint Venture für die Aluminiumkarosserie, die Panzerung, den Geschützturm, Waffen sowie die Kommunikations- und Informationssysteme verantwortlich. Renault Trucks Défense entwickelte und fertigt die Antriebseinheit Driveline 8×8, die hohe Mobilität gewährleisten soll. Driveline 8×8 bezeichnet ein System, das Motor, Fahrgestell und Getriebe beinhaltet.

Geschichte

In den frühen 1990er-Jahren vereinbarten die Regierungen Frankreichs und Deutschlands, später unter Einbeziehung Großbritanniens, eine Entwicklungskooperation für ein geschütztes Radfahrzeug einzugehen, im Rahmen derer zwei Modelle eines MRAV (Multirole Armoured Vehicle) eingebracht wurden. Dies waren der GTK (Gepanzertes Transport-Kraftfahrzeug) und der VBCI. Nachdem im trinationalen Konsortium im April 1998 die Entscheidung zugunsten des GTK gefallen war, verließ Frankreich die Kooperation, um das Projekt VBCI im Alleingang abzuschließen. Am 6. November 2000 bestellte die französische Regierung 700 Fahrzeuge. In den Jahren 2003 und 2004 verliefen Testläufe der Panzerung, der Elektronik und des Fahrverhaltens erfolgreich. Im darauffolgenden Jahr wurden die ersten fünf Prototypen, vier VCI-Schützenpanzer und ein VPC-Führungsfahrzeug, unter realen Bedingungen getestet. Dabei wurden Konstruktionsfehler im Draggar-Geschützturm entdeckt, deren Behebung das Projekt um zwei Jahre verzögerte. Schließlich wurden zwei weitere neue Prototypen gefertigt. Die 41 ersten Fahrzeuge der nun angelaufenen Serienproduktion wurden 2008 an das 35. Infanterieregiment in Belfort geliefert. Im Dezember 2008 bestellte das französische Verteidigungsministerium 117 weitere VBCI, wodurch die vorläufige Gesamtbestellmenge auf 298 Fahrzeuge stieg.

Varianten
Beide Varianten sind voll ABC-geschützt und verfügen über modernste elektronische Ausstattung (C4ISR), wie zum Beispiel das französische erweiterte SIR (Système d'Information Régimentaire) oder das reduzierte SIT (Système d'Information Terminal).

 VCI (Véhicule de Combat d'Infanterie): Schützenpanzer
 SIT (Système d'Information Terminal)
 Kampfeinheit bestehend aus neun Soldaten, zusätzlich zwei Mann Besatzung
Geschützturm mit einer 25-mm-Maschinenkanone
7,62-mm-Maschinengewehr
 VPC (Véhicule Poste de Commandement): mobiler Gefechtsstand
zwei Bediener für SIR sowie sieben Soldaten, zusätzlich zwei Mann Besatzung
ein 12,7-mm-Maschinengewehr zur Selbstverteidigung

Inter Care is a registered charity (no. 275637) and has a Wholesale Dealers Authorisation (WDA) licence from the MHRA to export pharmaceuticals.
In 2012 we received the highly prestigious Queens Award for Voluntary Service. This was to celebrate the 50+ volunteers who help Inter Care. Many of our volunteers are medically trained.
Inter Care's mission is to save lives and alleviate suffering through the provision of surplus medical resources to rural partner health units in sub-Saharan Africa.
Why our mission is important…
People in sub-Saharan Africa suffer from a severe lack of medical resources.
There are on average just 0.1 Physicians per 1,000 population in sub-Saharan Africa, compared to the UK who have 2.8 Physicians per 1,000 population (The World Bank 2018).
In several countries in sub-Saharan Africa the average life expectancy is still less than 60 years, compared to more than 80 years in countries in Europe (Global Change Data Lab 2020).
Inter Care aims to help to address this by collecting surplus healthcare goods and medicines and sending regular consignments to health care units in sub-Saharan Africa.
Most of the medical aid we supply is donated (thus reducing medical waste in the UK) and comes from:
Medical manufacturers
We support approximately 100 health units in Sierra Leone, Ghana, Zambia, Malawi and Tanzania, with regular consignments of medical aid.
Each health unit we work with makes requests for their individual medical needs; sometimes, where those needs cannot be met by donated supplies, we need to purchase products.
We receive no government funding and rely entirely on voluntary donations to fund our work.

Purim symbolizes the transition to a world without prophecy, where the influence of G-d must take place through hidden actions.
The central character in this story is Esther herself. "Esther did not reveal her nationality and her birthplace, because Mordecai told her not to tell" [Esther 2:10]. The hidden Jews in Spain, the Marranos, felt very close to Esther, who played the role of a Jewess concealing her true identity. The Fast of Esther was therefore very important to the Jews of North Africa, who were descendents of those who were exiled from Spain.
What is the main element that saved us on Purim? It was the fact that we successfully opposed the concept of the evil one, Haman, who said, "There is one nation that is dispersed and divided among the nations" [3:8]. He claimed that since we are separated and dispersed we would not have the strength to stand up against him. He forgot that in the same sentence he also said "there is one nation." Internally, we are united even though we are dispersed.
We commemorate our opposition to the claim that we are dispersed by observing the command to "send portions of food to each other and to give gifts to poor people" [9:22]. By this means we increase our solidarity and the mutual love we have for each other. It thus helps us meet any challenges.
According to the halacha, on Purim we give charity to anybody who stretches out his or her hand, without carefully investigating whether the recipient deserves it or not. We can be sure that the Master of the Universe also "observes the mitzvot," and if we ask for anything on Purim He will surely give it to us. The Holy One, Blessed be He, will also give "gifts to the poor" without checking the recipients very closely.

After Week 1 http://www.steelerscheapshops.com/cheap-authentic-jon-bostic-jersey , Sean Davis looks like the Free Safety the Steelers have needed Let's be honest, as the Pittsburgh Steelers prepared for the 2018 regular season, the thought of Sean Davis moving from the Strong Safety position, to Free Safety, was a bit frightening. Compounded with the reality whoever started alongside of Davis would be new to the Steelers' system made the safety position a stressor leading into the season.However, throughout the Steelers' Week 1 game vs. the Browns Cheap Artie Burns Jersey , Davis was one of the bright spots on the Pittsburgh defense. When looking at the box score, you might not think Davis played much of a role in the defense's performance, but you have to realize his new position doesn't lend itself to the line of scrimmage play which had him lead the team in tackles last season. He registered 5 tackles, 4 solo, and 2 pass defenses in the Week 1 contest, but had an overall presence in the back end of the defense which hasn't been seen since Ryan Clark played alongside Troy Polamalu.Even the folks at Pro Football Focus (PFF) graded Davis played well. So well http://www.steelerscheapshops.com/cheap-authentic-bud-dupree-jersey , he had the highest grade of his young career.When fans talk about the safety position, it is almost a certainty Mike Mitchell's name gets brought up. In my opinion, Mitchell was never as bad as fans made him out to be, but he certainly wasn't worth the salary he was making while in Pittsburgh.Mitchell was a hard hitter who had his limitations in both athleticism and in coverage. These are two areas where Davis seems to excel. Davis' time as a cornerback in college, combined with the physical nature of the Strong Safety position, which he called home his first two seasons Cheap T. J. Watt Jersey , gives him the look of a natural at Free Safety.It should be noted the Week 1 game was against the Browns, so any huge results and/or accolades should be taken with a Tyrod Taylor-size grain of salt, but you still have to go out and make the plays. More importantly, make the plays which weren't being made in prior seasons. Davis, and the Steelers' defense, will have their work cut out for them in Week 2 when Patrick Mahomes and Tyreek Hill come to town. Perform well again Cheap Maurkice Pouncey Jersey , against this offense, and Davis might be well on his way to finding a very nice home as a Free Safety in Pittsburgh for a long time. Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger made a radio appearance on Tuesday that included criticism of wide receiver James Washington for his unsuccessful attempt to catch a pass in the second half of last Sunday's loss to the Broncos.That's not a particularly new thing for Roethlisberger and the radio appearance on Tuesday also included notes for wide receiver Antonio Brown and offensive coordinator Randy Fichtner. On Wednesday, Roethlisberger was asked about those comments.He said he's "earned the right to be able to do that with as long as I have been here" and said that he believes it's part of the responsibility of a team captain to let teammates know if they are falling short. Roethlisberger added that his teammates would have to say for themselves whether they have a problem with that approach. would hope that they would understand that as the quarterback and the captain that I have the right to do those things," Roethlisberger said, via the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. "I don feel like I abuse that situation. So I don an issue, but you would have to ask them."Veterans and captains are expected to set the tone for their teams http://www.steelerscheapshops.com/cheap-authentic-xavier-grimble-jersey , although if there is an issue with Roethlisberger's critiques it would likely be with airing them in a public space rather than one reserved for members of the team.

Williamstown Football Club is can announce the signing of Ben Connolly and the re-signing of Nick Ebinger for the 2019 season.
Connolly a developing key defender and a Williamstown CYMS teammate of Ebinger and Kal Dawson, had a breakout season with CY's playing in all 20 matches at Premier C level as a 19yr old. His selection in the Vic Metro under 19's team in 2018 was warranted with his early season form at Full Back and he will look to learn off his new Seagulls teammates Joel Tippett, Sean Gregory and Sam McLarty to take his game to another level.
Ebinger is another player who showed his potential in 2018 with the high flying forward looking to add to his 7 VFL matches since joining the Club in 2016. Ebinger showed great form in the VAFA Premier C competition for Williamstown CYMS when he wasn't selected at VFL, kicking 42 goals from 14 matches.
"Nick and Ben have been developing well over their respective journeys at VFL & Williamstown CYMS level. It's a credit to them both given they haven't come through the traditional pathway of the Western Jets here in the local area. Credit also to CY's in the development work they have put into their players and given the current environment, they will benefit from having the 3 players on our list in 2019 if they aren't selected at VFL level on any given weekend" said GM-Football Stephen Soulsby.

DFA Cancels VP Leni Robredo's Diplomatic Passport
June 24, 2019 Pol Pinoy	Leave a comment
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Foreign Affairs Secretary Teddy Boy Locsin announced today that he has ordered the cancellation of Vice President Leni Robredo's diplomatlc passport, less than 24 hours after he cancelled all courtesy diplomatic passports of ex-envoys and government officials, including that of former Foreign Affairs Secretary Albert Del Rosario.
Robredo had earlier critized DFA for cancelling the diplomatic passports of former government officials. That prompted Locsin to call her "boba" (stupid) in a Twitter post.
Locsin emphasized, however, than his decision to revoke Robredo's passport was not in retaliation for her criticism.
Locsin said that DFA's cancellation of the VP's diplomatic passport was based on the fact that most, if not all of Robredo's foreign trips were personal in nature and had nothing to do with her official duties.
The DFA Secretary told The Adobo Chronicles that he wanted to preserve the integrity of diplomatlc passports and prevent abuse and any sense of entitlement by current and former government officials.
The Office of the Vice President could not be reached for comment.

Woodrow Wilson student shares love of coding with others (video)
By The Hub on	 March 29, 2017 News Briefs
Helena isn't only a great student, she's a great teacher. The Woodrow Wilson High School junior teaches a computer coding class once a week at Mt. Auburn Elementary School.
Her teaching revolves around a website she is developing, findvolunteerships.com, to help fellow high school students find community service projects.
"It's really beneficial for kids to learn coding from a young age, especially with the curriculum we've come up with to teach the students," she said. "Because coding is something that's so important in the present and the future, I think it will be a required curriculum in the coming years."
She said the teachers at Woodrow Wilson are supportive of coding and her efforts.
"This tool that she's building to connect students to 'volunteerships' is going to give us a chance to help build a program here where we can help our feeder pattern," said Woodrow Wilson teacher Dan Garrison. "At Long, at Mt. Auburn, at all our other elementary schools where we're looking to launch robotics teams."

A GROUP of well-known personalities have written a letter urging President Andrej Kiska to attend the celebrations of the 70th anniversary of the Soviet victory in World War II in Moscow in May, the TASR newswire learnt on March 5.
Kiska is among many officials across the world to have received a letter of invitation from Russian President Vladimir Putin. In view of the crisis in eastern Ukraine some leaders have turned the invitation down or have not yet made it clear whether they will travel to Moscow or not.
The signatories include former Slovak prime minister Jan Čarnogurský, former mayor of Bratislava Milan Ftáčnik, incumbent chancellor of the Media Academy Eduard Chmelár and university lecturer František Skvrnda.
Kiska said on February 22 while paying a working visit to Kiev that he would do his "utmost to pay respects to the fallen Soviet soldiers in a dignified way", TASR reported.
"I'll announce the actual form and manner in which I'll do this with a timely notification," said Kiska, as quoted by TASR.

The image shown above is a computer generated rendering of a Makita 5007F Circular Saw. This was part of my CAD project at UVic where teams of three people (me, Josh Coutts, and Pelle Bjornert) take on the challenge of modelling a real life complex object in SolidWorks. This particular circular saw contains over 82 unique parts, irregular shaped motor housing features, and a large variety of locations where FEA could be applied.
Just as a comparison on how accurate our model turned out to be, the image below is the original circular saw before it was taken apart.
The irregular shape of the handle and the motor housing makes it a challenging set of objects to measure and shape in SolidWorks. Many surfacing techniques were used to get the exterior and interior features to be correct.
With 82 different parts, the assembly for this project was particularly challenging. All the parts were numbered and named beforehand to avoid confusion between the other group members. While many of the mates in the final assembly were concentric, coincident or parallel, there were a few instances where trouble arose and complex mates were necessary.
There are instances were images are not enough to convey and visualize a final product. SolidWorks has a great animations tool that lets you animate the things you create. The video below shows the circular saw being taken apart.

The world's largest offshore wind farm, the London Array, has been officially opened by the Prime Minister David Cameron.
The huge 100km2 installation – which is located in the outer Thames Estuary – features 175 Siemens 3.6MW turbines with a combined generating capacity of 630MW. The facility is expected to produce enough electricity to power over half a million UK homes each year.
The site has been developed by a consortium made up of DONG Energy, Denmark's biggest energy company, which has a 50 per cent share; E.On Renewables, which owns 30 per cent; and Masdar, the Abu Dhabi state-owned renewable energy company, which owns 20 per cent of the facility.
Originally, Shell had a large share in the venture, but the Anglo-Dutch oil giant pulled out in 2008 throwing the future of the project into doubt until Masdar came on the scene.
Over 75 organisations, and around 6,700 individuals have been involved in the construction of the facility.
The facility's status as the worlds largest wind farm might be relatively short lived however. In Scotland, Beatrice Offshore Windfarm Ltd – a joint venture between SSE renewables and Repsol Neuvas Energias – wants to install a 1000MW facility, consiting of up to 277 turbines in the Moray Firth. Meanwhile, Moray Offshore Renwables Ltd (a joint venture between EDP Renewables) and Repsol Nuevas) has submitted an application for an even bigger 1500MW installation in the outer Moray Firth .
It would be interesting to see how much the domestic customers are subsidising the project, and the amount of CO2 consumed to construct it. No one seems to quote the overall cost benefit analysis.
Now we really need to get moving on getting more electric vehicles on our roads so their batteries can store the intermittent power from these and future wind farms, solar panels, tidal and wave and other renewable energy schemes.
We have around 30 million vehicles in the UK at present (nearly a billion in the world) almost all with ICE motors. Converting just 3% of these vehicles to electric power would provide some 10GW of power storage capacity assuming only 50% are on charge and each has a 20 kWhr battery.
Conversion of existing roadworthy cars to electric power is not difficult and gives them a new lease of life after their ICE engines, exhaust systems, catalytic converters, water pumps, radiators etc have reached the end of their economic lives. By extending their lives as electric vehicles not only do they become much more efficient in their energy use but "reuse" (the top item in the waste reduction heirarchy), allows the inbuilt carbon footprint from when they were first manufactured to be extended over many more years.
As an example, the A Class Mercedes, a perfect size for an electric vehicle, designed for the Californian market in 1997 with space for fuel cells or batteries under the rear seat, has a manufacturers corrosion warranty on the body of 30 years. So why crush and recycle a perfectly sound body, seats (often leather), transmission and supsension system, window glass, etc etc when it has reached perhaps only a third of its potential life?
I am not a great fan of windpower as accessibility for maintenance of offshore wind turbines must be a headache for those responsible in heavy weather. (Have you ever tried getting people and materials from a bobbing vessel onto a fixed structure at sea in heavy seas and gale force winds?
But now we have them lets make them welcome and do what we can to improve their efficiency by storing their power in EV batteries rather than wasting it when demand is low.
Its a pity we didn't cut a solar power deal with Masdar, the Abu Dhabi state-owned renewable energy company, which owns 20 per cent of the Thames Array facility.
For example for every say 1 MW of wind power Masdar own in the North Sea they build say 10MW of Concentrated Solar Power (using molten salt to give 24hrs per day electrical power by heat exchange with water to rasie steam) in the Abu Dhabi desert where the sun's energy is at its most intense. UK PLC contract with Masdar and the Abu Dhabi Govt (and other MENA area countries) to take this solar power for the life of the CSP plant. It would be fed into the nearest point in the European grid by HVDC cables with only 3% loss per 1000 km. The EU would then credit the UK with the low carbon electricity that we have supplied to the EU wide electricity network.
How much did it cost? What are the operation and maintenance costs? What is the cost per kWh generated? What is the cost of the transmission facilities needed for this wind farm with a capacity factor of something like 30%?
Who pays for the generating capacity needed when the wind is not blowing – as it obviously is not in the photograph.
If, in spite of the fact that the world has stopped warming, you still want to reduce carbon dioxide, Converting from coal generation to gas-fired generation is the best way of doing this. Nuclear power is the next best way of doing this.
This windfarm exists only because the crazy government has decided to subsidise an ineffective, expensive and futile method of fighting (non-existent) global warming".
The only thing it does effectively is rob the poor to subsidise the rich. It is disgraceful beyond belief.
Interesting that the two 'biggest' wind farms in the world are in UK waters. I refuse to believe the UK has the only recoverable wind globally so what other factors affect this statistic. Subsidies perhaps?
I also wonder if we will ever get true ROI's on any large wind generating facilities.
all the alternative power generations schemes require massive government subsidies to be built ane operated. But no one lists the true costs of the energy to be supplied, ie cost per KW/hr supplied to a consumer andcompare it to coal fired cost and or nuclear. Green Clean Electricity has developed a new process that operates 24/7 and is more competitive than wind or solar.
Are you talking about power or energy?
Mike, I keep seeing the idea of using EV battteries to store renewable electricity on behalf of the grid, however if I owned a Nissan Leaf (or similar) I would be reluctant to give away any of the 2000-3000 charge cycle battery life before facing the bill (£10k?) for a new battery.
THIS IS A GOOD PROJECT AND A MODEL FOR ALL DEVELOPING COUNTRIES SUCH AS IN THE PHILIPPINES AND IN OTHER ASEAN COUNTRIES.
INDEED, THIS FREE ENERGY FROM WIND DRIVES FROM NATURE IS HARNESSED WISELY FOR POWER GENERATION AND FOR THE REDUCTION OF WORLDWIDE CO2 EMISSION.
The London Array look great, and the story sound great but of course it's mostly fiction from the great Marketer of this day, David Cameron.
No figures on cost or payback or efficiency or relevance.
175 windmills working flat out might just produce half the power of the Iron Bridge PS sat presently doing nothing and its essential staff and plant about to be made redundant.
Glamour Energy projects won't keep the lights on after 2018/19.
Only new base load power stations which are 2 GW or more will.
That means more unaffordable gas from the private companies that have us by the commercial throat, and the too late nuclear schemes which will get the blame.
Cameron should be remembered for this Wind Folly, (as Thatcher is for Dash for Gas 1), for this great incompetence, along with Green Peace who are bringing us back to the era of Georgian CANDLE power.
Energy engineers are fed up to the back teeth with the incompetence of governments who play games, with our essential services.
Maybe as in Egypt, we should ask our Army, (before it is neutered beyond recognition), to depose this government, who are failing the public in the Energy obligation, not in 2015, but now, whilst we still have 5 years to avoid the avoidable.
Wind power for base load is just ridiculous.
Don't wait for the news, that the LA is producing 300 MW (just 50% of its predicted energy output), because it's not going to happen with this marketing fiasco.
Germany is leading the way in creating a system of wind power coupled to HVDC lines 1,000's of km long to provide baseload energy nationally.
The British may have the largest single farms, but the Germans have over 30 GW of total installed capacity all over the country as of 2013. The wide distribution of wind farms connected to HVDC corridors and breakthroughs in inverters for smart & fast demand response solves the problem of wind intermittency. The goal was to wean Germany off Nuclear Power after the fallout from Fukushima, which I hope everyone remembers.
I anxiously await the rollout of similar HVDC lines connecting the wind dense central prairies & sun soaked southwest states here in the US to major population centers.
What an arresting and appropriate computer-generated image we have heading this article: beautiful sky, sea flat calm… not a breath of wind, blots on seascape stationary, ROI zero and not a seabird in sight!
The responses to the article reflect the fact that most power engineers understand that the economics of wind power are at best dubious. All note the lack of economic assessments in the publicity blurbs.
The main incentive for suppliers is the subsidised return for electricity generated / capacity provided.
I do agree that having built this we need to make proper use of it and that has to be by running flat-out and storing or exporting power as non-generation is totally wasteful.
Are there any other options apart from batteries and pumped storage available at this scale?
The case for DC transmission seems to have been missed by the designers and suppliers, was sit ever assessed?

Whirlpool Corporation Pleased With Positive U.S. ITC Vote in Washing Machine Case
Oct 5, 2017 | Our Company
ITC Finds Samsung and LG Actions Injured American Manufacturers
The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) voted unanimously that a surge of large residential washer imports from Samsung and LG have seriously injured American manufacturers and workers. The vote was part of a section 201 safeguard petition Whirlpool Corp. filed earlier this year to stop Samsung and LG from repeated country hopping to evade U.S. trade laws.
"The ITC vote is an important win for American manufacturers and American workers," said Jeff M. Fettig, chairman of Whirlpool Corp. "For the third time since 2013, the ITC has found that Samsung and LG engaged in unlawful conduct by violating U.S. trade laws. This vote sets the stage for the administration to put in place an effective remedy to create a level playing field for American workers and manufacturers. This type of corrective action will create U.S. manufacturing jobs."
The ITC will vote on a remedy in November before making an official recommendation to the president in December. The safeguard petition applies to finished large residential washing machines as well as major parts, including the washer cabinet, assembled washer tubs and assembled washer baskets. This scope ensures Samsung and LG are not able to circumvent the eventual remedy by establishing what are known as "screwdriver operations," a facility that assembles major parts delivered to it from overseas for final assembly, rather than a full product manufacturing plant in the United States.
Case Timeline:
October 19: Remedy hearing ─ ITC hearing on proposed remedies to address serious injury to the U.S. washer industry from Samsung and LG's increased washer import volumes.
November 21: Remedy vote ─ The ITC votes to determine what relief to recommend to the president to address the serious injury that Samsung and LG's increased washer import volumes have caused the U.S. washer industry.
December 4: Remedy recommendation ─ ITC transmits its written remedy recommendation to the president. Such relief may include a tariff, quantitative restrictions, or a combination of tariff and quota (i.e., tariff-rate quota, or TRQ).
The president will then have approximately two months to consider ITC's recommendations and to fashion a remedy that he deems most appropriate.
Background on the Safeguard Petition:
A safeguard petition is the only effective means available to the U.S. Government to address Samsung and LG's pattern of cheating through country hopping. The U.S. Government previously applied country-specific antidumping remedies to Samsung and LG for washers made in South Korea, Mexico and China. In contrast, this safeguard remedy addresses imports from Samsung and LG—wherever they are made outside the United States—that cause serious injury to U.S. washer manufacturers. Whirlpool Corp. filed the petition to ensure fair competition and to enable U.S. manufacturers to continue creating jobs, investing in new facilities and funding research that drives innovation to benefit consumers.
Samsung and LG's Pattern of Country Hopping to Avoid U.S. Trade Remedies:
In 2013, the U.S. Government found that Samsung and LG were unlawfully dumping South Korean and Mexican washers into the United States.
The two companies responded by moving washer production to China to continue their illegal dumping behavior.
In late 2015, Whirlpool Corp. filed a new petition to address the Samsung and LG production now coming from China. In reaction, Samsung and LG immediately began stockpiling product into the United States and moving their production again—this time to factories in Vietnam and Thailand.
Earlier this year, the U.S. Government issued a new antidumping order against Samsung and LG in China. But the two companies already had made great strides in their second end run around U.S. trade laws and have continued their assault on American manufacturers and workers.
On May 31, Whirlpool Corp.—led by 2,464 of its more than 3,000 Clyde, Ohio, manufacturing employees—filed a safeguard petition with the U.S. ITC to end this pattern of serial country-hopping to circumvent these trade orders. More than 50 Clyde employees made the trip to Washington to attend the ITC safeguard hearing on Sept. 7.

Loop Electrical Excision Procedure Superior to Cryotherapy in Clearing High-Risk HPV Infections
Lindsay Fischer
Loop electrical excision procedure (LEEP) demonstrated superior capabilities in clearing high-risk HPV infections in women with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN2+).
Loop Electrical Excision Procedure (LEEP) was 40% more likely than cryotherapy to clear high-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) infections in women with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN2+), according to a secondary analysis of a randomized clinical trial in Kenya (NCT01298596).
In addition, recurrent CIN was 5 times more likely than HPV to be associated with hrHPV detection.
Over a 24-month period, participants who underwent LEEP reported significantly higher hrHPV compared with cryotherapy recipients (HR, 1.40; 95% CI, 1.03-1.90; P=.03). At the 12-month follow-up, a multivariable analysis revealed hrHPV type-specific persistence to be significantly associated with CIN2+ recurrence (adjusted hazard ratio, 4.70; 95% CI, 2.47 -8.95; P <.001). At 12 months, hrHPV testing for recurrent CIN2+ was 93% sensitivity, 46% specificity, 38% positive predictive value, and 95% negative predictive value.
"Cryotherapy is not as effective at clearing hrHPV because it may not achieve therapeutic depth compared with LEEP," wrote Michael H. Chung, MD, MPH, Emory University, and study authors. "Unlike LEEP, cryotherapy does not excise tissue but causes necrosis through freezing up to a depth of 5 to 7 mm. Cervical dysplasia may be present in deeper tissue than cryotherapy can reach and may be infected with subclinical or latent hrHPV."
The primary outcomes from this analysis were hrHPV positivity, which was defined as having 1 of 12 possible hrHPV types, (16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59) as well as disease recurrence, which meant a CIN grade 2 or higher with cervical biopsy.
Between June 2011 and September 2016, researchers screened 5,330 HIV- positive women through papanicolaou (PAP) testing. High-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions were found in 738 (13.8%) of the participants, and CIN 2+ subsequent colposcopy-directed biopsy was detected in 512 (9.6%) of participants.
The study included a total of 354 HIV-positive women with CIN2+. Among these participants, in the cryotherapy arm, median age was 37 years and baseline hrHPV prevalence was 90% (160 out of 177). In the LEEP arm, median age was 38 years and hrHPV prevalence was 94%. The randomized women received follow-ups every 6 months for 2 years, through hrHPV cervical swab and Pap test with cervical biopsy.
Between the 354 women with confirmed CIN2+ on colposcopy-directed biopsy as well as an hrHPV result at baseline testing, 177 women (50%) were treated with cryotherapy and 177 women (50%) were treated through LEEP. Sociodemographic and HIV characteristics were consistent between the two treatment groups; the average monthly household income was less than $150/month in both cohorts (62% vs 64%; P=.79) and immunocompromising was similar (CD4 count < 250 cells/mm3; 29% vs 27%; P = .75). In addition, the number of participants pretreated with ART for at least 2 years was comparable between the arms, (51% vs 57%; P = .20).
Researchers concluded that the results of the secondary analysis were consistent with those of the original clinical trial. LEEP has demonstrated clinical benefit over cryotherapy if and when this method is available and accessible in low-and middle-income countries. Testing for hrHPV following cervical treatment is potentially valuable in ruling out recurrent cervical disease among women living with HIV.
"These results correlate with the primary outcome analysis of the RCT, which demonstrated that LEEP was also better than cryotherapy in preventing recurrent CIN2+," authors wrote. "Taken together, they demonstrate the superior treatment efficacy of LEEP over cryotherapy among women living with HIV."
The study authors acknowledged a number of limitations. The first was that the secondary analysis assessed the findings of a trial conducted at a singular site in Kenya with 1 study clinician overseeing both the cryotherapy and LEEP procedures. Consequently, further research is needed to determine whether these study results extend to the rest of Kenya, or even other countries and regions.
Additionally, the study follow-up period was 2 years, which, according to the researchers, is too short a period to ascertain if hrHPV detection and CIN result in cervical cancer or mortality. This limitation is exacerbated by the fact that many participants were pretreated with ART, which might impact these outcomes. Future research should seek to extend the follow-up period to gain insight to the long-term implications of hrHPV persistence after treatment on cervical cancer and mortality among women living with HIV.
