The following paper analyses selected problems regarding the impact of technological parameters and type of adherend material on the strength of adhesive-bonded steel sheet joints. The subject of the test was a single-lap adhesive joint of S235JR steel sheet. Joints were formed on two types of substrates: with or without corrosion products on the surface. The surface of steel sheet adherends was pre-treated with three cleaning solutions: acetone, Wiko industrial degreasing agent and Cortanin F anti-corrosion agent, depend-ing on the state of the surface. Adhesive joints were formed with Epidian 53/ET/100:15 epoxy adhesive. The formed joints were subjected to one of three ageing variants: 14 days, two months and 3 months, which were followed by destructive testing to determine the shear strength of joints. The analysis of results ob-tained in tests indicates that the strength performance of adhesive joints of corrosion-free adherends was characterised by higher values than in corroded steel sheets, regardless of ageing time.

Here's one that I've shared with other people and gotten favorable comments on. Brew it by the middle of October so that it has a couple of months to age so the spices to mellow out.
Prepare yeast starter. Crush specialty grains and steep for 30 min. Add LME, brown sugar, and bittering hops and begin boil. At 30 min, add honey, cinnamon, and cardamom and half of the orange zest and ginger. At 15 min, add Irish moss, flavoring hops, and remaining ginger and orange zest. Cool, aerate and pitch yeast. Ferment at 70-74^F. Rack to a secondary after 7 days and store at 70^F. After another 14 days, bottle beer.

Gambia: Breaking News: Launch Of 2016 Coalition Building Process!
Dear Compatriots, I have the honour and pleasure to inform you that, the Committee of Concerned Gambian Citizens,comprising seven Gambians from all walks of life and hundreds of thousands like-minded compatriots, around the world, has succeeded in convincing opposition political leaders to launch a winning coalition party strategy for the December 2016 National Elections. A copy of the Committee's letter on this matter is attached for your perusal and records.
The launching ceremony will be held tomorrow 20 March 2016 at 4:00pm with a consensus building approach which will solely resonate with the interest and aspirations of all Gambians for democratic change of the 21 years dictatorship and inherent modern day slavery. We shall publicize the outcome of the meeting as soon as possible to facilitate the sharpening of our future campaigns at all levels.
The Committee also considers it important to mention that, this long awaited prospective coalition paradigm, if embraced with sincerity, transparency, tolerance (respect for the individual and mutual support) by all of us, will be the right path to victory not for the Committee of Concerned Gambian Citizens alone, but it will be for our entire suppressed and oppressed nation. Therefore, let all of us commit ourselves to adopt these professional and civilized norms and values by working together strategically to leverage our movement for democratic change with focus on saving our nation come December 1, 2016National Elections or never!!!
I pray that God guides our hidden and open actions towards the common good of our national, amen.
Let us keep in touch.
Warmest regards with best wishes to all.
Premised on our inalienable human, constitutional and civic rights as well as our responsibilities, we, Committee of Concerned Gambian Citizens, representing hundreds of thousands like-minded compatriots around the world, who are committed to support your efforts to democratically end President Yahya A.J.J. Jammeh's 21 years of undemocratic political leadership resulting to modern day slavery with the face of excessive human rights abuses, ranging from lack of freedom of speech and association, intimidation, abject poverty, unlawful detentions, extrajudicial killings, murder, disappearances of innocent Gambians, wrongful dismissals of civil servants, migration of Gambian intellectuals and promising youths to the diaspora, wish to make a solemn appeal to you, gentlemen, to urgently form a credible and gender-balanced coalition party in order to win the 2016 national elections and then usher our country into democratic governance, peace and prosperity.
Gentlemen, forming a credible and gender balanced coalition and adopting a winning citizen-centered political strategy, will rekindle the frustrated spirits and aspirations of all Gambians for change. This will also send a powerful political message to President Yahya A. A. J. Jammeh and his detractors that Gambians have enough of living as second class citizens in their own country. While this situation is blatant, we would also encourage you to constantly update the international community on his excessive human rights abuses, personal greed and monopoly of community and national assets, including development projects and the economy.
As you are aware, President Jammeh grabs vast agricultural lands from poor communities and interferes in business operations of hardworking citizens. These universally unacceptable acts undermine their inalienable human and constitutional rights to gain economic and social security, which he swore to protect constitutionally.
It is evident that the net domestic borrowing alone has rendered the Government's inability to meet the basic challenges for growth, sustained development and employment creation. This severe strain impacts negatively on the lives of all Gambians. Gambians are experiencing hardship and unacceptable poverty as a result of rising prices of basic commodities and stagnant wages coupled with lack of cost of living incentives to keep up with inflation. Furthermore, there is massive unemployment, especially among school drop-outs and graduates coupled with an increasing brain drain and migration of youths to Europe through perilous journeys via the Mediterranean Sea.
In addition, there is a large fiscal deficit resulting from President Jammeh's violation of the constitutional rights of citizens to participate in policy decision-making and to secure self-employment opportunities from the main sectors of the economy, namely, agriculture and tourism through his disguised land grabbing under the pretext of his Vision 2016 and slogan " grow what you eat and eat what you grow" The country is thus exposed to current and future major challenges, such as current skyrocketing interest rates coupled with his unilateral closure of foreign bureaux and a related credit crunch in the informal sector, which is predominantly operated by Gambian entrepreneurs, especially women and youths. Such undemocratic actions, do not only jeopardize competition, but, also discourage investors to the extent of disabling the overall private sector to create employment for citizens, especially the massive school drop-outs.
From sub-regional and regional perspectives, World Bank reports reveal increasing organizations, including the Bank itself, which are providing significant capacity building opportunities to young entrepreneurs in Africa, including Senegal. Gentlemen, our realities are that Gambian youths cannot benefit from these opportunities because of the lack of vision and good leadership of President Jammeh to create the required enabling environment for development cooperation with these organizations.
Gentlemen, the Gambia/Senegal border closure is equally affecting indigenous enterprises, most of which are operated by women and youths. The situation also impacts negatively on our main national revenue, namely re-export trade. How does that work out for Gambian businesses and President Jammeh's Vision 2020, if we may ask? It is important to mention that the printing of more money by him will not help us keep up with the rising public debts. There is too much money in circulation and that is scary and you need to challenge the course because The Gambia needs to secure emergency funding from international partners, notably the EU and Commonwealth, with whom the he has unilaterally severed cooperation.
In light of the foregoing, we, Committee of Concerned Gambian Citizens, representing hundreds of thousands of like-minded compatriots, the signatures of whom are being collected to send to you, under a separate letter, are confident that the way forward to make the dream of our nation for democratic change, peace and prosperity a reality is for you, leaders of opposition political parties, to urgently create a credible and gender-balanced coalition party with a strategic winning road map. Suffice to say, that this road map may take a few days but, that the electoral process takes long to win elections. Best political practices employed by committed opposition political parties have proven that a credible coalition party, even in a most hostile environment, can win elections, as evidenced in Senegal, Nigeria and Burkina Faso.
repeal of the 1997 unconstitutional and related 2015 electoral reforms regarding the age limit to contest for the presidency and costs of vying for political office.
demilitarize campaigns to ensure level playing field for the electoral process.
end deliberate delays and/or refusal to issue permits for campaigns and rallies.
guarantee free access to the media and public meeting facilities.
aggressive campaigns to educate the electorate on the raison d'etre and dynamics of the coalition party as well as on their rights and responsibilities, with focus on mustering their commitment and loyalty.
safeguard the security of the coalition political party leadership.
tackle systematically dissenting political party or parties.
maintain the remarkable support of Gambians in the Diaspora.
build strategic political alliances and cooperation at all levels with focus on the African Union(AU), ECOWAS, The Commonwealth, the European Union (EU), the United Nations, and bilateral and multilateral Institutions.
adopt transparent and accountable fund-raising mechanisms as well as use of funds.
engineer and enforce radical democratic constitutional and electoral reforms for a smooth transition to the formation of the Third Republic.
In conclusion, it is important for us to reiterate our hundreds of thousands unified Gambians voices in the country and diaspora by appealing to you to recognize that our nation is in an emergency situation and needs urgent salvaging by all Gambians through a credible and gender balanced coalition of all opposition political parties. Time is of essence and there is no more time for partisan politics because realities have revealed that no single party can win the 2016 elections in the current undemocratic environment. Please note that, there are many committed Gambian talents in and outside the country, who are willing to assist you in these processes and we could give you their contacts upon your request.
At this juncture, we wish to invite all of you to a general meeting on Sunday, 20 March 2016, at 4 pm in the YMCA conference hall, in order to discuss the way forward, which would culminate in a two-day conference of all opposition political parties and reputable Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), starting from Saturday 26 March 2016.
The focus of the conference will be to devise and adopt a winning political strategy for the 2016 national elections and transition for the Third Republic as well as to publicize the outcome of the conference.
We look forward to receive your positive and urgent response in order to avert our nation's loss to ignominy and cruel consequences on all Gambians.
Please accept, gentlemen, the assurances of my highest esteem and regards.

Generation Reimagine
A piece by Al Keating, Coffee Supreme CEO, urgent decaf deliverer and wordsmith.
Some things I'm learning (or waking up to) through this crisis of our planet and how it might be our generations' time to shine.
For years, I've been pushed along in business to grow.
Grow! Grow! Grow!.
Most of us have. We set growth plans every year, apply targets and forecast budgets, create strategies to support those and recruit in order to see it implemented - all with the goal to grow and get bigger.
We measure our success against achieving that growth, whether it be volume, sales, margin or, a combination of all those things.
Perhaps this mindset comes from our parents' generation.
Mine are not your typical capitalist tycoons, but they are in many other ways quite typical of their generation. Both born in 1946 — post-WWII — the 'boomers' entered a broken and in many parts, malnourished, traumatised world. They were raised modestly by their blue-collar parents and then saved to buy a modest car, had three outfits (one of which was for Sundays and weddings) and shared one lawnmower between several neighbours. They grew up, married at 25 and moved to London for three years where they worked in grey offices and ate grey food. Then, when they'd ticked off the overseas experience, they moved home, got up the duff and settled into jobs they would work at loyally for the next few decades.
Things were going ok; kids were happy, neighbours were lovely, jobs were jobs and bills were paid, but they began to discover they didn't really need to be so communal and thrifty in the way they were raised. So, they decided to pull the biscuit tin of cash down from the top cupboard and treat themselves a little. They splashed out and bought their own mower. Dad thought mum should have her own car, and while they were at it — her own wardrobe too. Not just a regular wardrobe though, one you could walk into and that had a light in it and enough space for a different outfit for every wedding and Sunday of the year.
Boomers discovered that frugality and contentment was a little dull, and that they had just enough means to build a small empire in the suburbs, and fill the chest freezer in the garage with enough mince and white bread to last another world war.
Then we came along; Gen-X.
Born in the 70's and growing up in the 80's, we enjoyed the spoils of our parents' newfound financial liberalism. Seinfeld pokes fun at it perfectly in the episode where he browses his excessive cereal selection on top of a fridge bigger than a Japanese Airbnb.
We enjoyed it all too of course, but spent most of our solitary time in our bedrooms listening to mix-tapes and talking on the telephone to our friends and crushes. We didn't care for a lot of it. Sure we were spoiled by it, but us Gen-X'ers were motivated by different things.
I read, years ago, that Gen-X might be characterised simply by two words; authenticity and relationship.
Where our parents sent telegrams and Tupperware to their overseas friends getting hitched, we traded in our Pulsars for plane tickets and turned up empty-handed at our dear friends' weddings. We are quite happy to put our people before our possessions - regardless of the cost. We aren't flawless though. We struggle to state what we love and will fight for, but we're quick to criticise, arms firmly crossed with reluctance and cynicism.
We were then joined by an army of Gen-Y, and Millennials, and whatever generation comes after that. They're different again. A whole new set of ideals and outlooks. Many of my colleagues are from these generations, and we are learning incredibly valuable things from each other; like what's really important, what's not, what's negotiable. Stuff like that.
And then, a global pandemic...
So now it seems, in 2020, amongst the raging fires of Covid-19, that perhaps we find ourselves in one of two camps: those who are fighting desperately to get things back to normal (the old normal our parents built) and the rest of us; quietly ok with seeing it razed to the ground, so we can begin rebuilding something we actually want to live and work with; something in which we can more easily find balance and purpose, as opposed to when we lost ourselves to the endlessness of career-chasing and discontentment.
After decades of criticising the system we felt powerless to change, we might actually be on the dawn of a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to uncross our arms collectively and be a part of reshaping our world, into something we can be proud to raise our children in.
And so this is where we find ourselves today.
It's like two enormous tsunamis crashing over us.
One is the virus, sweeping around the world and forcing us to carefully adjust — even if for just a short period of our lives.
The second is the catastrophic result of the virus on our economy and our very way of life.
I'm asking myself as a leader in this business some very tough questions, as we fight to steer this battered ship through the waves. And then, as we look to emerge from the storm; what do I want to rebuild as it was before the waves we're upon us, and what do I want to change?
It's hugely invigorating. I've never worked with such purpose and focus, from my desk set up amongst the Lundia shelving in the garage at home, surrounded by stuff I don't really need that I've not yet gotten around to getting rid of. The office distractions are gone, yet I'm still engaging meaningfully and effectively with my team every day.
I'm being challenged about what I really want to fight for and how much I actually need - there's nothing, after all, like a dramatic pay cut to force you to reconsider how you live.
I'm working long hours, but sharing three meals a day with my family. I'm walking every morning and bumping into neighbours and friends (not literally obvs — two metres please) where we talk together about new normals and how we plan to navigate the huge adjustments ahead.
That's what this is — a forced re-imagining.
A once-in-a-lifetime chance to do things differently and to make things better.

Wood's fellow hostage hires bounty hunters
June 27, 2005 — 5.18am
A hostage held alongside Australian Douglas Wood in Iraq has hired bounty hunters to track down his former captors, promising to eliminate them one by one.
Swede Ulf Hjertstrom, who was held for several weeks with Mr Wood in Baghdad, was released by his kidnappers on May 30.
Mr Hjertstrom has since claimed he shared information with US and Iraqi troops about Mr Wood which led to the release of the 63-year-old Australian engineers two weeks ago, after 47 days in captivity.
Now, he wants to find those responsible.
"I have now put some people to work to find these bastards," he told the Ten Network today.
"I invested about $50,000 so far and we will get them one by one."

September 2, 2014 January 21, 2015 Salina Christmas
To read, to swim, the privilege of a few
The founder of GLUE Studio will ride to Paris with Tech Bikers to raise funds for Room To Read. Reading, like swimming, is a life skill badly needed in girls within the developing world. GLUE editor Salina Christmas looks at the family inspiration behind the ride, and the cultural obstacles that girls in that region face in learning to read, as well as to swim.
It's not an ice bucket challenge, but hopefully, the three-day charity ride that our founder, Zarina Holmes, will do this month for Techbikers will be a rain-free affair.
To be held between 19 and 21 September 2014, the ride will see several cyclists from the tech community travelling from London to Paris to raise funds for Room To Read, a charity focused on literacy and gender equality in education in Asia and Africa.
Doing it for the kids
A write-up by Tech City News on Zarina Holmes's effort for Techbikers. Donate to Room To Read
Zarina Holmes, the GLUE Studio founder, said to me that she is motivated by the illiteracy of both our grandmothers and an aunt who looked after us when we were kids.
It is true both our grandmothers could not read Roman alphabets. I taught my aunt, dad's oldest sister and also our carer when our mom was away at work – the ABCs that I learned at kindergarten. We came back from school, and before we went out to play, I taught her the alphabets. At times, I wrote her letters to her son. She would dictate, and I would write in shaky, huge alphabets. I was only six.
So there you have it, a confession: two sisters, creative twins, educated to master level at prestigious British institutions, raised by illiterate women.
Sports skills are also literacy
These women were by no means clueless about the world. If anything, they were aware of their shortcomings. They sent their children to school. Things went as planned because the majority of the grandchildren went to universities.
But there was, I felt, something lacking. Having a soldier as a dad meant that childhood was spent in an overly active, if not prescribed, way: camping, running, cycling, building tents, hiking, living in jungles – certainly no video games.
But one life skill was totally missing in our childhood: the ability to swim.
Swimming as literacy
At the London's ITU World Triathlon in June 2014. I was one of the red-capped swimmers braving the lukewarm water of the Serpentine. I didn't know how to swim 11 months before that race. Zarina Holmes supported me all the way. Photo: © GLUE. Donate to Room To Read
I wrote not long ago about my quest in becoming a triathlete, despite not being able to swim last year. I couldn't help question myself why I had to go to that extreme to make up for years of not being able to swim.
Sport skills are life skills. When nurtured at a young age, sports have the potential in determining the level of a person's active lifestyle in adulthood. I was fortunate, for a Southeast Asian female, to have had an unconventional upbringing. Admittedly, I didn't enjoy watching our dad's shooting competitions, or that 'Spartan-Tough Mudder' races that he took part in for his regiment, but he did drove us to our track and field races. He loved that and we enjoyed it, too.
Yup, I did it. I swam – or crawled – the 450m that it took me to finish Phase 1. I did the race in 1 hour 15 minutes. Thanks, coaches! Photo: ©Zarina Holmes / GLUE. Donate to Room To Read
But swimming was always out of the equation. It got worst when we reached adolescence. No swimsuits. No track and field. No softball training. Eventually, we stopped going to beach for swims altogether – until I graduated and became a travel journalist. Then I moved to the UK. The water is cold, so I chose to do taekwondo instead. Swimming was out of my life for quite a while.
"The discouragement with regards to
swimming was more to do with trying
to be in keeping with the cultural norms"
The discouragement that I got from my parents, and that society, with regards to swimming, was more to do with them trying to be in keeping with the cultural norms. Women should not be exposed, and must be kept separate from men. Thankfully, not all sports suffer from this, though. Cycling is encouraged in women – Malaysia produces some world-class female track cyclists. Scuba-diving is quite a hit with the women. Because you're all covered up in a dry suit from head to toe. Surfing is big with the guys, naturally. Basically, as long as the woman doesn't wear a swimsuit, that activity is fine.
No, I don't get it, either, but that's not going to change any time soon.
About this Techbikers ride

Our founder aims to raise £500 for Room To Read with this ride. It is good that the money would go into educating children – girls included – to read.
In terms of that specific life skill – swimming –the developing world still has a long way to go. I once talked to a customer at the shop, who was covered from head to toe in a niqab, about sports. She was looking for a set of dumb bells. She said she loved swimming, but couldn't do it in the public pools in the UK because "men would look".
I countered: "I think people would be too occupied to stay afloat to look at other people". It's true. We trained in a mixed triathlon squad – nobody had time looking at each other's bits.
A few days ago, I sent via Viber a few images of me at the London's ITU World Triathlon, to my youngest sister – a trained computer programmer who left her career to be a mother of four daughters. First she texted: "Cool photos". After a pause, she texted: "I don't know how to swim".
I texted back: "I can teach you x".
Donate to Room To Read. Thank you.

Q: How to return debug window in Qt Creator When I run C++ program under qt creator in debug mode, Qt creator shows me debug window with "local and expressions", "breakpoints" and so on.
Sometimes I close these windows to watch the code by pressing Esc. How to return this views back? I really need to loot at stack trace right now, but I can't find a button to show me the stack.
I looked at this question but it didn't help. My debugging window working well, but when I close it, I cannot open it again. The only way - restart whole program, than debugging view appear again and I can operate with it.

A: "Debug" mode and CTRL + 4 didn't help me, so here is another solution:
Click "Views" which should be on the dark grey bar in the lower right area of your user interface, in small print. There you can check or uncheck any of the Debug windows you want to see.
I find it easier to just click "Reset to Default Layout" under this menu because I'm not hard to please and it brings all the debug windows I want to see back instantly.

A: You need to go back to the "Debug" mode by clicking on the debug (bug) icon on the left hand side.
You can do so by pressing CTRL + 4.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are celebrity designers now. They've been working on a capsule collection for Asprey for a year, which means that in between UN conferences, orphanage visits in Africa and raising however many children they have, the not-human couple found time to design a $525 baby spoon. Their line, which aside from the baby spoon includes pave diamond snake rings, earrings and pendants, is called The Protector and inspired by snakes, or more specifically a non-Asprey snake ring Angelina wore while pregnant with her first child. Brad and Angelina are still super humans though, so all net profits from The Protector will go to Education Partnership for Children of Conflict which helps, "children who most need a safe place to learn, a place to heal, a place to learn reconciliation, a place to build a better future and a place — to just be children."
Angelina Jolie's Engagement Ring Revealed! And Brad Pitt Helped Design It!
The latest celeb-turned-designer? It's Angelina Jolie. Jolie has just launched her own high-end jewelry line "Style of Jolie," co-created with Beverly Hills-based jeweler Robert Procop, E! Online is reporting. Procop, you'll remember, is the same jeweler Brad Pitt worked with to design Jolie's engagement ring. Of course, with human rights activist Jolie, there's more to it than a passing interest in design.

In his keynote on October 3rd during Oracle OpenWorld 2017, Thomas Kurian stated that the vision at Oracle around analytics has changed quite considerably. He explained this change and the new vision using this slide.
All kinds of data, all kinds of users, many more ways to present and visualize and machine generated insights to complement human understanding.
The newly launched Analytics Cloud supports this vision.
And from cleansed and prepared data – create Machine Learning models that help create classify and predict, use conventional (charts) and new (personalized and context sensitive and rich chat, notification, maps) and allow users to collaborate around findings from data.
Thomas K. threw in the Autonomous Datawarehouse as an intermediate or final destination for prepared data or even the findings from that data.
The keynote continued with a demo that made clear how a specific challenge – monitor social media for traffic on specific topics and derive from all messages and tweets which player was most valuable (and has the largest social influence) – could be addressed.
The initial data load is presented for the new Social Data Stream project on the Prepare tab. The Analytics Cloud comes with recommendations (calls to action) to cleanse (or "heal") and enrich the data. Among the potential actions are correcting zip-codes, extracting business entities from images, complete names and enrich by joining to predefined data sets such as players, locations, team names etc.
The intial presentation of data is in itself a rich exploration of the data. Analytics Cloud has already identified a large number of attributes, has analyzed the data and presents various aggregations. (This has clear undertones of Endeca) At this point, we can work on the data, to make it better – cleaner, richer and better suited for presentations, conclusions and model building.
After each healing action, new recommendations for data preparation may be presented.
Some more examples of what the current status of preparation is of the data.
Here is the Visualize tab – where users can edit the proposed visualizations and add new ones. The demo continued to show how through a mobile app – through voice recognition – a new KPI could be added.
Notifications can take various forms – including visual but passive alerts on a dashboard or active push messages on messenger or chat channel (Slack, WeChat, Facebook Messenger), SMS Text Messages, Email.


This Friday should have been the publication of USDA's January Cattle on Feed report. The report will not be released due to the government shutdown.
It is unlikely the NASS Cattle on Feed publication will be released even if the government opens next week. Those reports take time to survey, collect, compile and release and the backlog is mounting.
Missouri's Clean Water Commission has rejected the proposed expansion of Valley Oaks Steak Co.'s feedlot near Lone Jack, reversing earlier state approval.
For the fifth straight month a record for Cattle on Feed was eclipsed after an increase of 5.2% since Oct. 1, 2017.
Feedyard Veterinary Consultant Del Miles combines rigorous science with good-old hard work.
The latest Cattle on Feed report showed a September 1 feedlot inventory of 11.125 million head, a record for the month since the current data series began in 1996.
In a marketplace where margins are tight, change can be hard—and expensive.
The September record for cattle on feed was set after increasing 5.6% year-over-year and reaching more than 11.1 million head. This is the fourth month straight a monthly record has been set.
Seasonal beef production increases are expected in the latter half of the year.
Two feedlots in northeast Nebraska have reached a settlement with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) following the discovery of manure runoff issues.


Having spent the early part of this week in Australia and New Zealand, I'm arriving today in Rome, where the buzz is about Pope Francis' blockbuster interview with 16 Jesuit publications around the world, including America magazine in the United States, in which he pointedly rejects a church of what he calls "small-minded rules."
In political terms, Francis says something out loud that arguably had already become clear, but with a degree of candor that popes don't often provide: "I have never been a right-winger."
At the level of content, there's not much groundbreaking in the interview with respect to his hour-and-20-minute press conference aboard the papal plane July 28. He offers the same blend of traditional doctrine with a deep emphasis on mercy, stressing that the church needs to be more pastoral and less judgmental in engaging questions such as abortion, homosexuality and women.
Francis offers extended reflections on his Jesuit vocation and identity, and also some insights into his personal reactions to the experience of taking on the Catholic church's top job. The full English translation of the 12,000-word interview, which was conducted in Italian, can be found here.
Standing back from the details, what seems clear -- not just from the interview, but from the balance of the pope's first six months -- is that the election of Francis in March did not just signify the rise of the first pope from the developing world or a rejection of patterns of business management in the Vatican held responsible for the leaks scandal and other meltdowns.
Perhaps most fundamentally, it represented a breakthrough victory for the Catholic middle.
Truth be told, the liberal wing of the church will be cheered by the new pope's language -- his rejection of a "restorationist" mentality in Catholicism, for instance, and his insistence that "thinking with the church" cannot simply mean thinking with the hierarchy. At some point, however, they'll demand movement from rhetoric to policy, and on that front, many may be disappointed.
Francis has twice now uttered a firm "no" to women's ordination to the priesthood, and he's unlikely to radically change teaching on matters such as gay marriage, abortion or contraception. A desire to project a more merciful tone on those matters isn't the same thing as disagreement with their substance.
Meanwhile, for at least some on the Catholic right, it must now seem powerfully obvious that this just isn't their pope. Francis is determined not be a cultural warrior, meaning he doesn't intend to use his bully pulpit primarily to fight political battles. He acknowledges some conservatives are disappointed he hasn't been more forceful on the life issues, but insists church teaching is already clear and he doesn't intend to go around repeating it. He also underscores that this won't be a terribly disciplinary papacy.
That leaves the Catholic middle as the pope's natural constituency.
In broad strokes, these are people generally content with church teaching and tradition, though inclined to a hermeneutic of generosity in applying it. They don't have a chip on their shoulder about authority in the church, though they're also not inclined simply to shout "hosanna" every time someone in leadership speaks. They're eager for reform, not so much for revolution.
Mostly these are people who regard Catholicism fundamentally as a force for good in the world and who long for moderate, accessible and inspirational leadership who can lift up the whole gamut of Catholic thought and life rather than a selective version of it tailored to advance a specific political or theological agenda.
In a nutshell, that seems to be more or less Francis' aspiration.
There are plenty of such middle-of-the-road Catholics, probably a majority of the church, though their Achilles' heel has always been that they're not organized and not especially vocal. Liberals and conservatives publish newspapers, post blogs, create organizations, hold press conferences, and otherwise dominate public conversation; moderates generally keep their heads down and stay out of the fray.
The drama now is whether the Catholic middle will mobilize effectively to support the best pope for their interests they're likely to see in a long while, because the truth is that over the long run, other ideological camps may not always have the pope's back.
Also in Rome, the countdown has begun for the looming G-8 summit Oct. 1-3, meaning the maiden gathering of eight cardinals tapped by Pope Francis to be his kitchen cabinet on church governance and reform.
Francis has set up two other bodies to ponder reform: one commission on the Vatican bank and another on the economic and administrative structures of the Holy See. Presumably, he'll want to hear their recommendations before making sweeping decisions.
The pope has asked the G-8 to consider the pastoral care of marriage, including the tough question of Communion for divorced and remarried Catholics. He's also announced that will be the topic of the next synod of bishops, however, so once again, he'll likely wait for its deliberations before making a final call.
Like the Jesuit provincial he once was, Francis is in the habit of collecting input from a variety of sources and then making his own decisions. He'll listen carefully to this group, since they represent the cardinals who elected him, but there's no reason to believe his policies will be determined exclusively by it.
Since the lineup of the G-8 was announced in April, each cardinal has been collecting suggestions and assembling ideas on his own, but the work really hasn't been coordinated. As a result, the eight members are arriving in Rome with different, and in some cases contrasting, proposals -- whether to commission secular management consultants at this stage of the game, for instance, or whether the pope really needs a "moderator of the Curia." Sorting all that out will take some time and means this may be more of an organizational gathering rather than a decision-making event.
One issue they'll have to consider is the role of the panel of cardinals itself. Is this simply an informal body with no legal standing, or is it a new level of authority positioned somewhere between the pope and the Vatican? Is it just a temporary instrument, or will it be an ongoing vehicle for giving popes advice?
On that front, there seems to be at least one role the G-8 could play that a couple of its members on background say they find appealing: emerging as a sort of informal "Congregation for Bishops" with regard to Vatican appointments, advising the pope on who might be best suited to head its various departments.
The idea would be that when the pope needs to appoint a new prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, for instance, or a new president for the Pontifical Council for Health Care Workers, the G-8 would provide him with a terna, or a list of three names they believe would be well-suited for the job.
The pope, of course, would not be bound by those recommendations, but presumably in most cases, he'd take the advice seriously.
The church already has a fairly elaborate process for choosing bishops, which is well-known. Bishops' conferences generally keep lists of clergy they believe ought to be considered, and when an opening occurs, the nuncio, or papal ambassador, in that country is supposed to do an inventory of the needs of the diocese and to study the profiles of possible candidates.
The nuncio then forwards a set of names to the Congregation for Bishops in Rome, whose members generally meet twice a month on Thursdays to study the materials. They can approve the terna sent over by the nuncio, add or delete names or change the order of recommendations, or even ask that that a new terna entirely be prepared.
Once the congregation votes to approve a set of names, they go to the pope, who is theoretically free to disregard them and appoint whomever he wants, although in probably 95 percent of the cases he simply goes with the top recommendation presented to him.
It's long been a source of frustration for some that there's no similar process for matching talent to openings when it comes to running departments in the Vatican, although one could make an argument that heading the Congregation for Bishops or Clergy is at least as important as serving as the diocesan bishop of Terni or Santa Rosa.
There's also long been grumbling that sometimes, little consideration seems to be given to subject-area competence when assigning key Vatican jobs.
During the late John Paul II years, for instance, the Congregation for Divine Worship was led by a prelate with no real background in liturgy; the Congregation for Education was presided over by a non-educator; the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples was headed by a bishop with no experience of the missions; and the Council for Health Care Workers was run by someone who'd never dealt with heath systems prior to that job.
Defenders of the system often say it allows for looking past résumés to the inner qualities of potential appointees, and sometimes this allows candidates with the right stuff to surface and shine in unexpected ways. On the other hand, it also means people sometimes end up in jobs as rewards or to inject geographic balance and find themselves in way over their heads.
In that light, some cardinals perceive the need for a new mechanism to do a better job of matching skill sets with responsibilities in the Vatican, and perhaps that's a role the G-8 can either pick up itself or invent some new mechanism to address.
Some of the cardinals taking part in the Oct. 1-3 meeting are likely to float that possibility, though on this front, too, one probably shouldn't expect immediate results.
As Francis said in his Jesuit interview, "We always need time to lay the foundations for real, effective change ... and this is the time of discernment."
On Monday, I was in Sydney, speaking at the Australian Catholic University for an event organized by the archdiocese's office of Catholic Youth Services, with an opening act consisting of selections from a musical put on by Artists for Life.
Then I popped over to Rotorua, New Zealand, where I spent most of Wednesday speaking to the Assembly of Priests of New Zealand, a gathering that also included most of the country's bishops along with the apostolic nuncio, German Archbishop Martin Krebs.
I want to thank both of my hosts for a fantastic time. Francis has talked repeatedly about the need for the church to be a welcoming place, and if my experience is any measure, the church down under is already ahead of the game.

Brian Rees: Former Wales hooker and eminent surgeon dies aged 79
December 30, 2021 administration aged, BBC News, Brian, dies, eminent, hooker, Rees, surgeon, wales
Brian Rees won his three caps in the 1967 Five Nations Championship, with his last a 20-14 loss in France
Former Wales hooker Brian Rees has died at the age of 79.
Neath-born Rees won three caps in the 1967 Five Nations Championship and went on to become a surgeon, having studied medicine at Cambridge University.
He became the lead cancer clinician in 2000 at University Hospital of Wales, the same year he was awarded an OBE for his services to medicine.
Rees held the position until 2006 and became High Sheriff of South Glamorgan in 2008.
Former back-row John Taylor, who won his first cap at the same time as Rees – against Scotland – and also played with him at London Welsh, paid tribute to him.
"Brian was very proud of his Neath heritage and there was certainly a touch of the Neath about him on the field. Neath were revered, hated and admired in equal measure for the hard edge they brought to their rugby and Brian was ferocious on the field," said Taylor.
"On the field he could be a menace, yet off it he was charming, witty and loads of fun."

This is a question that a lot of people have, and one that is difficult to get a straight answer to. As a Mormon myself, here is an honest attempt to demystify the puzzle somewhat.
First of all, there are several places where the question "What do Mormons believe?" is clearly answered.
The Articles of Faith. The church's founder, Joseph Smith, once created a document for a newspaper editor that included what Joseph considered to be the fundamental beliefs of Mormons. Over 150 years later, the "Articles of Faith" are still a great source for this information.
Mormon.org. This website describes the beliefs of the LDS church through the voices of its members… thousands and thousands of them. The site features profiles of Mormons who post their beliefs and answer frequently asked questions about their religion (you can see mine here).
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Wikipedia). These days I am very impressed with the fair treatment of religions in general on Wikipedia. This link will give you a broad overview of the church, from it's history to its current practices.
The Book of Mormon. While this source is not as simple as the others (it uses the "scriptural language" common in the KJV bible and a full read could take you several weeks) it is the quintessential source. Mormons hold this book to be scripture, so you can rest assured that if it's in there, we believe it. This brief explanation is helpful in describing who wrote the Book of Mormon. Anyone can read the Book of Mormon online, download the ebook, download the audio book, or request a free Book of Mormon hard copy.
I like these sources because they aren't the sterilized byproduct of some official PR group within the church, nor are they the raging opinions of angry blogging conspiracy theorists. If you are looking for unbiased information, I'd consider these the best place to look.
In high school I was often approached by friends who had misunderstandings about my church (Don't Mormon's have to wear white shirts and ties and take a two year bicycle trip pilgrimage to Salt Lake City?). I've come to realize why Mormons are especially vulnerable to such misunderstandings.
Mormonism, like any other religion, believes in hundreds or even thousands of doctrines and principles, which stem from a variety of sources, including scriptural sources, interpretations of those sources, teachings of church leaders, and others. Also, like other religions, these doctrines are not all equal in significance. While some are considered fundamental foundations to the church, others are more trivial. For example, ask any Christian if they believe that a flood covered the whole earth and all animal life boarded a boat and floated to safety. Some will say yes, some will say maybe, and some will have personal interpretations of the biblical story, but in the end, it is a trivial detail in Christian doctrine. In this respect, Mormonism has its own "flood stories", as well as the ones that it shares with Christianity.
In addition, everybody on the earth, including those of the LDS faith, develops their own personal beliefs over their lifetime which come from their religious interpretations, political beliefs, family, education and experience. It is important to remember that though these beliefs may be held by many in a church (especially Mormons who often form tight-knit communities of friendship), they do not constitute the beliefs of the whole church. For example, if you ask Mormons their beliefs regarding evolution, you'll probably get mixed responses. My (Mormon) college biology professor loved the beauty and clarity of the principles of evolution. I know others who don't. At the end of the day, while much has been said about evolution, there is no official church position on the topic.
So what do Mormons believe? The last source I failed to mention above are the church members themselves. Nobody is a better expert on what they believe than them. So don't hesitate to ask me! I always enjoy a good conversation on religion.

White Light Supplies Martin MAC Viper for "Loserville" West End Debut
White Light is leading the way in the West End, supplying the latest lighting innovations, including Martin Professional's new MAC Viper Profile, for the debut of a brand new British musical that has the town talking.
With the recent opening of "Loserville" at the Garrick Theatre, James Bourne and Elliot Davis have delivered to the West End both a fresh new energy and a return to the essentials of musical storytelling. The production brings together a notable collection of experienced artists and emerging talent, with many in the cast and production team making their West End debut.
Set in 1971, "Loserville" follows the story of Michael Dork, an American high school student trying to invent the world's first email while also navigating the tricky world of girls and jocks. Onstage, the fresh-faced cast brings energy and enthusiasm to "Loserville's" well-matched, catchy tunes and playful choreography, while designs from Howard Harrison (lighting), Francis O'Connor (set and costume), Steven Snell (costume), and Simon Baker (sound) bring to life the show's quirky teenage world.
For "Loserville's" move to the Garrick Theatre, transferring from West Yorkshire Playhouse in Leeds, LD Howard Harrison turned to entertainment lighting specialist White Light to supply lighting equipment and solutions for the production. The move meant substantial changes in space and layout for the scenic design, which reconfigures several times during the show. It also gave Harrison the chance to bring in some new technology. The Martin MAC Viper made its West End debut with the show, helping Harrison achieve an appropriately punchy and colorful design.
"To completely immerse the audience in the world of the show, I needed small, bright fixtures that could complement the energy of the characters and their story," Harrison said. Intensity and reliability were key considerations in his choice. He added, "The Vipers gave me the punch that I was hoping for. They are super bright, with a nice even field, and they work really well every time – which is exactly what you want for a West End show."
Harrison specified the Martin Vipers after seeing them at the PLASA 2012 show in London this September, where the product won the coveted PLASA Award for Innovation. The Viper Profiles deliver an impressive 26,000 lumens with a 1000 W HID light source – making them brighter and more efficient than even 1200 W profiles currently on the market.
If Harrison's view is any indication, the MAC Vipers have found a home in the West End. "I will definitely use them again in the future." he said.
With "Loserville," White Light continues a legacy of providing the latest lighting equipment and solutions to debut theatre productions in London's West End and around the world including "Billy Elliot," "The Bodyguard," "Matilda," "War Horse," "Miss Saigon," and the upcoming "Viva Forever."

Six Magical Creatures Who Can See Through
by Science Ping January 7, 2021 0254
Organisms have an invisible way of becoming transparent so that light passes through the body. To do this, the body must have tissues that do not disperse or absorb sunlight. The natural world is full of living examples.
Behavioral ecologist James Barnett of McMaster University in Canada commented of glass frogs: "Transparency is the perfect camouflage. Transparent bodies are relatively common in aquatic species, where animal tissue has the same refractive index as the surrounding water.
Many sea and microscopic creatures take advantage of the transparency to hide where there is nothing but water like jellyfish, sea snails and a wide variety of baby fish.
"Air and tissue have quite different refractive indices, so transparency should be less efficient than for terrestrial species. shallow is very rare ".
But some land plants and animals have also evolved to have at least part of their body transparent. Here are six species with their transparency abilities and stealth strategy.
The transformation of glass ink
In addition to the eyes and stomach, glass ink is almost completely transparent.
Biologist Sönke Johnsen, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, USA explains: "The eyes and intestines of glass ink cannot be transparent. The eye has to absorb light for observation, and the intestines are exposed by the food it contains, as even transparent prey is visible during digestion.
But squids also have tricks for dealing with the opaque fragments on their body. The eyes of at least one of the 60 species of the glass squid family use a combination of light-emitting organs called photovoltaic cells and reflective cells to deflect this light. Together they create the illusion of sunlight filtering through the water.
To minimize visibility of the digestive organs, the squid places the digestive organs vertically while the squid swims horizontally along the body. When swimming, the level of the glass also raised the hand parallel to the digestive organs to hide. Swimming in this manner minimizes the squid's shadow in case the squid accidentally crosses paths with a hungry predator.
Glass ink can also transform into a sphere as a defense mechanism, pulling the head and arms into their mantle.
Glass frog and mixed armor
Like the squid, the intestines of the glass frog (family Centrolenidae) are also clearly visible through the transparent abdomen, but they are not seen from below by predators. The partial transparency of this species makes it possible to complete its camouflage because it holds its belly on the green leaves of the "house" vegetable forest.
Its clear belly helps the amphibian to adjust the brightness according to the light level of the selected location. The frog's limbs are also translucent, blurring the lines between it and surrounding areas, for better concealment.
Transparent crustacean with 12 tiny retinas red eyes
Instead of creating an illusion of light, transparent-bodied species have different strategies to hide their visible eye tissue, such as crustaceans that camouflage the retina to match the color and brightness of the surroundings. The deep-sea animal (Paraphronima gracilis) has eyes as large as 50% of its body. Evolution has found a way to make the creature's giant orb-shaped eyes transparent, minus the 12 small red retinas in each eye.
The retinas are moderately spaced to make them less visible from below, while maximizing their sensitivity to downward light.
Moths with transparent wings
The coffee moth (Cephonodes hylas) has transparent wings and a plump body like a bumblebee. Its wingspan was 45 to 73 mm. The abdomen changes color from yellow to green, the third and fourth abdominal cavities are bright red.
To disrupt the surface's ability to reflect light, moths use prominent transparent wings with the corneal surface of the eye for camouflage.
Transparent floating ribbons of eel larvae
Many juveniles start out as a transparent larva straddling the currents and the eel is no exception. Before ripening, the freshwater eel goes through the larval stage of leptocephaly and then the glassy eel stage.
They look like "floating ribbons" and try to make themselves as flat as possible. The thinner an object, the more light can pass without interference. It also makes them very difficult to detect.
The flower has a transparent shape when it rains
When the weather is nice, the Ha Son Diep flower, also known as the bone flower (Diphylleia grayi), looks like a typical white flower. The flowers grow in small bunches of blooms, appearing graceful as if showing their shape under green foliage. The special thing about this flower is that when it meets water, the white petals magically become crystal clear, revealing tiny veins on the petals like bones. But when they dry, they return to their original white color.
Their whiteness is not due to the pigment, but occurs when the rough surface of the petals and air gaps combine to reflect light, creating the illusion of whiteness. The refractive index between the transparent cell surface and the air pockets between the convex parts of the flower is sufficient to diffuse and reflect the light that shines on them, making them white.
But as the rain fills the spaces between the cells of the flower, the refractive indices of the cells and the vacuum become more consistent, allowing more light to pass through and we can see through them.
Whether or not this gives Ha Son Diệp Hạ Sơn an evolutionary advantage is a mystery, but watching it is very beautiful.

Affiris granted European patent for Alzheimer's vaccine
Affiris GmbH has been granted a Europe-wide patent for key elements of its Alzheimer's vaccine. As a result, the company has exclusive rights of use to the peptide sequences for an innovative approach to vaccine development. The tolerability of the first Affiris vaccine, AFFITOPE AD01, is currently being tested as part of a phase I
clinical trial. The lead investor in the company, MIG-Fonds, is extremely satisfied with the expanding patent portfolio of Affiris GmbH.
Earlier today, the Austrian company Affiris GmbH, based in Vienna, announced that it has been granted a Europe-wide patent for a pool of peptide sequences that are of key importance to an innovative Alzheimer's vaccine.
The company will be able to use these newly patented components to manufacture an optimized vaccine against beta-amyloid, the peptide responsible for the onset of Alzheimer's disease.
Dr. Walter Schmidt, CEO of Affiris GmbH, comments on the importance of the patent: "This patent is an ideal addition to the Affiris patent portfolio.
Our protected AFFITOME technology enables us to target the relevant structures of human rogue proteins. Our individual active substances are known as AFFITOPE, while the entire spectrum of possible substances is referred to as AFFITOME. This new patent grants us the commercial rights of use for this technology in relation to Alzheimer's disease. Furthermore,
Affiris GmbH is now the only company entitled to develop an optimised Alzheimer's vaccine that will overcome the problem of potential autoimmune reaction."
In the past, the issue of potential autoimmune reaction has led to other companies dropping development programmes for Alzheimer's vaccines during the initial stages. The root of this problem is that the peptide that causes the disease, beta-amyloid, is present in two forms - as part of a protein
(APP) in brain cells and detached in brain fluid. However, only detached beta-amyloid is dangerous, as its deposits (plaques) are a typical feature of Alzheimer's disease. When part of APP, beta-amyloid is essential for healthy brain cell function. If no distinction is made between these two types, an immune response against beta-amyloid can also attack brain cells.
Therefore, if a vaccine against Alzheimer's is to be successful and safe,
the immune system must be able to distinguish between detached beta-amyloid and the beta-amyloid that is part of APP.
Newly patented AFFITOME technology from Affiris GmbH does exactly that. It makes it possible to manufacture a vaccine that directs the immune system to attack only the harmful form of beta-amyloid. This patent means that Affiris GmbH has in principle protected all peptide sequences that can be used to attack detached beta-amyloid.
The first Alzheimer's vaccine from Affiris GmbH, known as AD01, is currently involved in a phase I clinical trial, which is due to be completed by mid-2008. The second vaccine, AD02, will also be undergoing clinical testing by then at the latest. MIG-Fonds, currently the largest investor in the company, is extremely happy with the latest developments. Michael Motschmann, Senior Fund Manager at MIG-Fonds explains: "By recently initiating the phase I clinical trial, Affiris GmbH has achieved an important milestone on schedule. The recent addition to the company's patent portfolio has now created the legal framework for exclusive use of the Alzheimer's vaccine in the future. We are extremely pleased!"
About AFFiRiS GmbH (as at November 2007):

It employs 30 highly qualified members of staff on 600 sq m of rented laboratory facilities at the Campus Vienna Biocenter (www.affiris.com).

Named one of USA Today's "Five Best Communicators in the World"
Blake Mycoskie is the Founder and Chief Shoe Giver of TOMS, and the person behind the One for One movement. TOMS' humble beginnings happened unintentionally: While travelling in Argentina in 2006, Blake witnessed the hardships faced by children growing up without shoes. His solution to the problem was simple, yet revolutionary: to create a for-profit business that was sustainable and not reliant on donations. Blake's vision soon turned into the One for One business model -providing the powerful foundation for TOMS.
Over the course of its first five years, TOMS provided millions of new shoes to children through humanitarian organisations. In 2011, he developed TOMS Eyewear, helping restore sight to a person in need with every pair purchased. As he learned more about international development, Blake saw the opportunity to address two vital needs in underserved communities; jobs and clean water. In 2014, Blake launched TOMS Roasting Co., a direct-trade, premium coffee line that helps provide clean water to communities in need.
Blake launched The Marketplace in 2013, bringing over 30 socially conscious brands together on TOMS.com, The Marketplace offered both a platform for these companies to succeed and a destination for consumers to shop and give their purchases a purpose. To date, TOMS Shoes has given over 35 million pairs of new shoes to children in need since 2006. TOMS Eyewear has helped to restore sight to over 250,000 people in need since its launch in 2011.
In the fall of 2011, Blake released his first book, "Start Something That Matters" (2011), offering his own story of inspiration and the power of incorporating giving into business. The book became a New York Times best-seller.
In 2009, Blake received the Secretary of State's 2009 Award of Corporate Excellence (ACE). At the Clinton Global Initiative University plenary session, former President Clinton introduced Blake to the audience as "one of the most interesting entrepreneurs (I've) ever met." People featured Blake in its "Heroes Among Us" section, and TOMS Shoes was featured in the Bill Gates Time article "How to Fix Capitalism." In 2011, Blake was named on Fortune's "40 Under 40" list, recognising him as one of the top young businessmen in the world. USA Today also named him one of the five best communicators in the world earlier this year.
"Blake Mycoskie inspires people to go forth, and do good to help others. Whether you want him to speak about entrepreneurship, or philanthropy, his message will have a lasting impression. "

Jacques-Yvan Morin,  (born July 15, 1931 in Quebec City, Quebec) is a former professor of law and a politician in Quebec, Canada. Morin graduated from the McGill University Faculty of Law with a BCL in 1953, where he was the founder of the McGill Law Journal. He taught international and constitutional law at Université de Montréal from 1958 until 1973. He was deputy director of the Canadian Yearbook of International Law from 1963 to 1973 and founded the Quebec Journal of International Law in 1984.

From 1966 to 1969, he chaired the Estates General of French Canada and joined in 1970 the Quebec sovereignty movement. He became president of the Mouvement national des Québécois in 1971. He failed to win a seat in Bourassa in the 1970 Quebec provincial election but won a seat in the riding of Sauvé in the 1973 election. After the latter election the Parti québécois became the official opposition since the former opposition party, the Union Nationale, had failed to win any seats. Since  the party leader, René Lévesque, had not won a seat in the 1973 election, Morin became leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly until the 1976 election, which the Parti québécois won. As a member of Lévesque's government, Morin was appointed successively Minister of Education (1976–1981), Cultural and Scientific Development (1981–1982) and Intergovernmental Affairs (1982–1984). During those years, he also served as Deputy Premier of Quebec.

Morin returned to teaching in 1984 at Université de Montréal, where he became professor emeritus in 1997.

In 2001, he was made a Grand Officer of the National Order of Quebec. Other honours include the Rights and Freedoms Prize of the Commission on Human Rights in Quebec (2000) and the Prix René-Chaloult of the Association of Former Parliamentarians (2011).

A belly full of veggies.
That has been making me super happy lately.
Have you ever heard of a minighetti squash? I hadn't. And there is not much on the web about them either. I was given one that came from a local CSA so I cooked it as I would a spaghetti squash. They look similar only the 'meat' is a bit thicker and the color is deeper. I found that they are a bit more flavorful as well.
So, I roasted them along with some eggplant and cloves of garlic, mixed in some kale, scallions and topped with an egg. Delicious.
Cut several deep slits into the minighetti and place on a baking sheet. Slice the eggplant into ~ 1/4" slices, rub with EVOO on each side (they should be coated but not soaked), sprinkle with some salt and pepper and place the garlic cloves under one or two of the slices.
Cover the eggplant and bake both the minighetti and eggplant at 400° for 30 minutes. At 30 minutes turn over the eggplant, placing the garlic cloves under the same or other slices of eggplant (replace the cover), turn over the minighetti and bake them both at 400° for another 30 minutes.
Meanwhile in a medium skillet, saute the kale and scallion in some EVOO. Add garlic powder, sea salt and ground pepper to taste.
In a small pan, prepare one egg to your liking. I like to pop my yolk so that it's done throughout.
When the squash and eggplant are done, carefully cut apart the minighetti, remove the seeds and add half of the 'meat' to the kale along with one of the cloves of garlic which should be soft and will mash in. Mix everything together in the skillet.
Top with some of the eggplant and the egg.


1 This is not a course in philosophical speculation, nor is it concerned with precise terminology. It is concerned only with Atonement, or the correction of perception. The means of the Atonement is forgiveness. The structure of "individual consciousness" is essentially irrelevant because it is a concept representing the "original error" or the "original sin." To study the error itself does not lead to correction, if you are indeed to succeed in overlooking the error. And it is just this process of overlooking at which the course aims.
2 All terms are potentially controversial, and those who seek controversy will find it. Yet those who seek clarification will find it as well. They must, however, be willing to overlook controversy, recognizing that it is a defense against truth in the form of a delaying maneuver. Theological considerations as such are necessarily controversial, since they depend on belief and can therefore be accepted or rejected. A universal theology is impossible, but a universal experience is not only possible but necessary. It is this experience toward which the course is directed. Here alone consistency becomes possible because here alone uncertainty ends.
3 This course remains within the ego framework, where it is needed. It is not concerned with what is beyond all error because it is planned only to set the direction towards it. Therefore it uses words, which are symbolic, and cannot express what lies beyond symbols. It is merely the ego that questions because it is only the ego that doubts. The course merely gives another answer, once a question has been raised. However, this answer does not attempt to resort to inventiveness or ingenuity. These are attributes of the ego. The course is simple. It has one function and one goal. Only in that does it remain wholly consistent because only that can be consistent.
4 The ego will demand many answers that this course does not give. It does not recognize as questions the mere form of a question to which an answer is impossible. The ego may ask, "How did the impossible occur?," "To what did the impossible happen?," and may ask this in many forms. Yet there is no answer; only an experience. Seek only this, and do not let theology delay you.
5 You will notice that the emphasis on structural issues in the course is brief and early. Afterwards and soon, it drops away to make way for the central teaching. Since you have asked for clarification, however, these are some of the terms that are used.

We are down to earth, but also innovative. We have great respect for Nature, and cultivate grapes only at the appropriate locations. That describes, in a nutshell, the philosophy of the Niklas winery. We view our family heritage as a responsibility to shape and maintain a South Tyrolean wine-growing estate like no other. It embodies the know-how and motivation of three generations of vintners, and is a place where outstanding South Tyrolean red wines typical for their location are created. In the meantime, Dieter Sölva guides the estate's continued development. Dieter learned the business from his father, Josef, the founder of the Niklas winery, whom he succeeded. Dieter's son Michael is already adding his unique handwriting to the family business – whose wines are now being marketed throughout the world.

When you see this picture, you may think.. Nature is amazing, isn't it? In this edition Dublinando will explore the effects this exotic flower had on economy in the past and how it is still amusing to many people.
Even though tulips are printed on Dutch post cards, this wild flower is native to the mountains of central Asia, especially because of the climate conditions. The way to Europe became possible during the Ottoman Empire, where trading between sultans were common and tulips were one of these commercialized products.
Around 1590 a botanic garden was established in Leiden University and the botanist Carolus Clusius planted the first tulip in Holland. Due to international trade, the Dutch economy skyrocketed and people became passionate about tulips, not only in their gardens but inside their houses on tiles and potteries.
A bubble started and the popularity of tulip bulbs increased madly. For example, a single tulip bulb was priced at one hundred times to the price of the gold and before the crash its value was equivalent to an entire house (wow)! Suddenly, people started buying and producing tulips as an alternative to enriching themselves but the market collapse was inevitable and for the first time supply was higher than demand and the market responded decreasing the tulip's price radically.
Nowadays, we have different species of tulips around the world, around 3.000 types divided into 15 groups. The variety is huge and the beauty is unique. "When I visited the Keukenhof Tulips Garden I realized how easy it is to become crazy about them".
 Bubble: used to refer to a significant, usually rapid, increase in asset prices that is soon followed by a collapse in prices and typically arises from speculation or enthusiasm rather than intrinsic increases in value.
 Crash: a sudden disastrous drop in the value or price of something.
