Learning the language of intelligence
Posted by: GCHQ, Posted on: 27 January 2015 - Categories: Frontline work
The decline in young people studying languages at university could have serious implications for GCHQ, and its ability to protect the UK from international threats. The organisation's language analysts are striving to combat this by inspiring school pupils to learn some of the most needed languages.

There is a hubbub of excited chatter in the Y9 language classroom as the pupils await the arrival of a special guest speaker - after all, it's not every day a British Intelligence officer visits your school! And yet, this is exactly what the Language Analysts from Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) have been doing over the past 8 years, visiting secondary schools up and down the country, talking to pupils about the value of learning a foreign language and explaining how vital languages are to GCHQ's work.
GCHQ is one of the UK's three intelligence agencies, working closely with MI5 and the Secret Intelligence Service (SIS). The UK faces a range of established and emerging threats that challenge our national security. These include cyber attacks, international and domestic terrorism, organised crime, and the spread of nuclear, biological and chemical weapons.
GCHQ specialises in gathering and analysing digital and electronic signals from all corners of the world, many of which are in foreign languages. It is the job of GCHQ's Language Analysts to use their expert linguistic and cultural knowledge to translate and analyse these communications to produce intelligence reports for Whitehall customers. The content of these reports can influence high-level decision-making and make a real-world impact on the security of the UK, such as helping to neutralise a terrorist threat or prevent a shipment of Class A drugs from reaching the streets. Language skills therefore underpin the work of the organisation.
Language education in crisis
But the number of students taking a language at GCSE has declined dramatically since 2004, when languages became optional rather than mandatory. There has been an inevitable consequent fall in numbers studying languages at A-level and at university. According to a British Academy report published in 2013, 44 universities have closed their language degrees since 2000. This is not good news for British business, which desperately needs more speakers of foreign languages to compete in global markets, and it is not good news for GCHQ, which finds it increasingly difficult to recruit the high-calibre linguists it needs to carry out its vital intelligence work.
Over the past year GCHQ has run recruitment campaigns for Language Analysts in Arabic, Persian, Chinese, Russian, Korean and African languages – and is still recruiting. The recruitment tests are tough as the standard required is high. But, once they join the Department, all Language Analysts benefit from GCHQ's strong internal continuing professional development programme, which recognises the critical value of languages to the work of the organisation. All new Language Analysts benefit from mentoring and coaching from a senior linguist from Day 1, and have opportunities for language enhancement and retraining programmes.
The GCHQ Language Outreach Programme
GCHQ has been running its Schools Language Outreach programme since 2006, initially visiting secondary schools close to its Gloucestershire base, but now operating across the country. The outreach visits usually start with talks to Year 9 students who are considering their GCSE choices, but A-Level students are also offered "taster classes" in languages like Chinese, Arabic, Persian or Russian , to inspire them to apply for a more unusual language at university. All of these languages can be studied ab initio at university with no previous knowledge required."
The top secret nature of GCHQ's work means, that GCHQ staff are not usually able to talk about what they do. Those Language Analysts who take part in the Language Outreach programme therefore enjoy getting out into the community to engage with the young people they meet in schools, to share with them their love of languages and hopefully inspire them to continue their language studies. They also gain great satisfaction from opening students' eyes to the huge range of exciting language opportunities available beyond French, German or Spanish usually taught in schools. GCHQ Language Analysts are proud to represent GCHQ and welcome the opportunity to raise awareness of the important work done by the Department.
GCHQ-ALL Schools Language Challenge
In 2014, GCHQ teamed up with the West of England branch of the Association for Language Learning (ALL), the professional body for language teachers, to run a language competition for Year 9 pupils – the GCHQ-ALL Schools Language Challenge. Pupils worked in small teams to research a town, region or country where the language they were studying is spoken, and then to create and deliver a PowerPoint presentation to showcase their findings – entirely in the foreign language. The best 10 entries were invited to GCHQ for a Finals Day, where the pupils delivered their presentations live to the joint GCHQ-ALL judging panel. Finalists, learnt more about the vital importance of languages to GCHQ's mission and attended language "tasters" in Arabic, Chinese, Persian, Russian, Somali and Urdu. "There was a real buzz around Finals Day," says the Outreach Coordinator, "and such enthusiasm from the young people attending."
Teachers were effusive in their praise for the event, welcoming the "real-life context it gave for using language skills". They reported improvements in students' language skills, especially improved pronunciation, and said the Challenge stretched the students' ability to speak spontaneously, undertake research and present to an audience. It also fostered greater interest in the country chosen and gave students "a chance to see how exciting speaking a language can be". The pupils attending the Final were equally enthusiastic:
"Languages are fun. I want to learn more."
"The experience has really opened my eyes to how influential languages are."
"It's made me reconsider my GCSE options."
"It has made me think about taking a language at A-level."
The Threlford Memorial Award
In November 2014, the GCHQ Language Outreach team were awarded the prestigious Threlford Memorial Cup by the Chartered Institute of Linguists Educational Trust. The trophy recognises an organisation, individual or project which has made a significant contribution towards fostering the study of language and was presented to the GCHQ Team by the Institute's patron, HRH Prince Michael of Kent, at the Institute's annual awards ceremony in November at the Barbican Centre in London.

Schools' feedback
Evaluations carried out before and after GCHQ visits invariably indicate an increase in the number of students considering studying at least one language at GCSE (on one occasion an increment of 25%), at A-level or at university and, where language tasters have been given, a raised level of interest in considering a degree in a non-Western European language.
Feedback from pupils attending GCHQ language outreach events speaks for itself:
"At the beginning of the day I wasn't sure if I was going to do languages as a GCSE, but now I think I will."
"I hadn't considered non-European languages until today."
"It makes me want to learn Chinese and Russian."
"A fun enjoyable and informative day."
"Subsequently, 77% of the cohort opted to take languages at GCSE, of which 40% are dual linguists." – Head of Modern Foreign Languages. Twyford School, Ealing

Tossing Glitter… A Decade In NYC
November 6, 2014 / By chromedust / 20 Comments
Photo By Walter Kurtz A Decade Ago…
When I was a boy I'd spend hours on an idle tractor with a stack of Vogue magazines I'd checked out of the school library. Those glossy pages transported me before traveling outside the midwest even seemed like a possibility. Douglas Kirkland, Avedon, Scavullo, Diana Vreeland and Halston all became familiar. The name I searched for however was Way Bandy. I studied his work on models. Translucent skin paired with dark smokey eyes. The way other boys studied sports figures was how I felt about Way Bandy. My other discovery was this place called New York City. In my young mind it compared to the Emerald City in Oz.
Spending hours in Miss Hardison's art class perfecting smokey eyes with a charcoal pencil I recall a sweet smile when telling her I needed to have this just perfect for when I did makeup for Vogue magazine. New York City would become the first place I ever traveled to from the midwest on a plane. And for the next twenty plus years visiting whenever I had the chance New York City would still leave me breathless. So ten years ago when Jeff called me and asked "Are you sitting down?" Without even knowing I'd been 'Tossing Glitter' into the universe my dream of living in New York City came true.
New York City wouldn't be for everyone. But nothing is perfect for everyone. The diversity and blend of so many cultures excites me and without even feeling it happen have made me a more accepting open person. Marriage equality came to New York City and I've felt the thrill of being able to say this is who I love and am spending the rest of my life with. Yes, being married makes a difference. Makes you feel complete. Who would ever dream after 27 years you could feel like a kid on a new adventure with your life partner.
And at the age of 53 I did makeup for Vogue magazine. It's been a beautiful decade. Tossing Glitter in New York City.
Beautiful and brisk NY morning with my girls…

Love Letters… Hannah
Over the years, there have been many people who have shown me kindness, compassion, and acceptance. I've kept these people and the memories of them close. For each of them, I have a kind of love letter inscribed on my heart.
Hannah was a legend in my town of Winslow. She looked like a cross between a character from Sondheim's Into the Woods and Granny Clampett from The Beverly Hillbillies. There were a lot of tales about Hannah: that she was witch, that she was a Cherokee Indian, and that her hair – which she wore wrapped in a tight bun and covered in an ever-present sun-bonnet – flowed down to the ground when unwrapped. She always wore work boots and long skirts. The skirts hung longer in the front due to her stooped and terribly humped-over back. But despite her bent posture, she would endlessly walk the town, picking up cigarette butts to pull out the tobacco. My brother, sister and I once trekked out into the fields to find her cabin, which people said was haunted. Even from a safe distance, I could see how overgrown and twisted the weeds were around her cabin and walkway. The whole place was dense with growth, like an Indiana jungle. Standing there, I remembered that people claimed she only bathed when the moon was full. All of this seemed in keeping with her image as a witchy, mysterious, and slightly alarming figure in my town.
Once, when I was riding in the truck with my father, he stopped and offered Hannah a ride. Being alone with my father was in itself a daunting task. Sitting erect, silent, staring straight ahead, I would pray I wouldn't say the wrong thing. Or make the wrong move. Anything that would upset and remind him of the disappointment he had in his eldest son. We came upon Hannah – walking as always – and my father slowly rolled down his window. He leaned out his head, and I heard him speak in a softer tone than I was used to. This was a different side of my father – one I'd never witnessed. The brim of Hannah's bonnet was now level with my father's open truck window. And as she said an adamant 'no' the bonnet raised and I could see her face, unfiltered in the bright sun. She never made any eye contact—now I realize she probably had cataracts and her milky gaze was medical rather than witchcraft — as she repeated 'no, no, walking keeps me alive'. My father affectionately reminded her he'd been watching her walk since he'd been a boy. As we pulled away that day, she looked directly at me. Right at me. It frightened and fascinated me. Why was she looking at me like that? Hannah never looked directly at anyone.
I wondered about it and then put it out of my mind. But then, on my birthday, I happened to glance out my bedroom window and coming up the drive was Hannah. Gasping, I blinked hard and then looked again. There she was, hunched but determined, her long skirt dragging up the dusty rock driveway. She walked right up into the back yard and then stopped. I waited a moment, and then worried, I ran to find Mom. "Mom! Hannah is in the back yard!" Even my mother was surprised, and we stepped out together. Warm and friendly, Mom called out "Hello, Hannah!"' Hannah looked at us for a minute and then stepped forward.
She pulled out an old coin purse – which looked like it was from the Year One – and handed me a dollar. I was so startled and didn't know what to do, but mom just looked on gently smiling. Hannah leaned in close to me and said in a hushed tone, "Happy Birthday." I was completely dumbfounded. "Say thank you to Hannah, Eddie" Mom prompted. "Thank you," I stammered. "Thank you so much." Leaning in very close again, Hannah looked at me right in the eyes and said, "You're special." She nodded with satisfaction and without another word, turned and walked back down the rock driveway leading to Pike Forest road.
No one could figure out how Hannah knew it was my birthday. But from then on, every year, she made that walk up our rock driveway. Waiting in our back yard. An apparition with her coin purse and a dollar. Hannah became a kind of birthday legend for me. That legend became a timeless childhood memory. Mysterious words said by a mysterious woman, but like a fairy tale, those words were as powerful as a magic wand. "Happy Birthday. You're special."
Because your never too old…

Shadows and Fog…
Not dark, dank and terrible. Breathtaking and poetic. Like discovering a beautiful photography book…
October 30, 2014 / By chromedust / 16 Comments
The wind almost whistled. Slowly but terrifyingly, two women both dressed in white, walked through a field of sugarcane in the dark, toward the distant drums of a voodoo ceremony. My vivid and youthful imagination – I remember thinking distinctly- this could just as easily be happening in an Indiana cornfield. The TV screen was so charged with atmosphere it was if any minute Papaw's trailer would suddenly fill with Shadow and Fog.
Weekend sleepovers at my grandfather's would be the place I discovered the films of James Whale, Jacques Tourneur and Val Lewton. Like the majority of scary movies I obsessed over, they contained the eerie use of shadows: deep black and shades of gray and silver. Fog that wrapped its way up and down wet deserted streets. Always a beautiful woman, eyes darting here and there and her heels clicking on the damp pavement. She pauses while a hand reaches out from the shadows. Films that I loved from the 1940's were layered with these techniques. Beautiful, poetic, these movies made you less scared than simply mesmerized with such striking imagery. Like looking through a breathtaking old photography book you discovered in the attic, these films were old and contained scratches making them imperfectly perfect.
"Boy, you are on your own with this crazy Goddamn movie." This would become Papaw's standard proclamation every Friday night throughout my childhood. Needless to say, his tastes ran more toward John Wayne. But he would make sure I was all set up for my movie night, even if he wouldn't stick around to watch it with me. So there I would be on a dark night. Settling in with "The Body Snatcher" a bag of pork rinds, ice cold Mountain Dew and knowing soon a foggy, black- and-white apparition would appear on the screen, and make me smile.
I wanted to be the perfect boy.
A perfect boy would do exactly as asked.
A perfect boy would be loved by everyone around him because he was so perfect. But the journey to being loved had nothing to do with being that perfect boy.

Broadway is currently closed from Brooklyn to 9th St. as part of a $45 million overhaul of the street.

The stairs are still standing on the site along Broadway, but the hotel the steps once led to is gone.
In March, the First Baptist Church of San Antonio bought a two-story hotel at 405 Broadway. Members of the congregation, invited to "cover the property in prayer," spray painted scripture on the walls of the empty inn.
The last of those walls came down on Saturday as crews finished demolishing the hotel. First Baptist has no immediate plans for redeveloping the lot, according to spokesperson Mikel Allen.

"We are in a very serious posture of just listening to God and listening to our neighbors, asking the right questions instead of just jumping ahead into building something," Allen said. "If we do build something on there we want it to be a benefit to the congregation but also the downtown community."
That downtown community has changed dramatically in recent years as new residential and office spaces rise along the Broadway corridor.
First Baptist's red brick sanctuary, adjacent to the former hotel lot, was surrounded by houses when it was built in 1926. Homes gave way to industry over the years, but now residents are returning to the city's core.
"It's nice to see some of these abandoned buildings be revitalized and people living in them," Allen said. "We now have actual neighbors where we didn't for decades. It's going to be really nice to be a neighborhood church again."
Wolfson House, the stately blue building First Baptist uses for small events, now stands alone on the inn's block. From there, a short stroll reveals more of the major changes taking place on either side of Broadway — and the street itself.
Here are some of the projects reshaping the Broadway corridor, from south to north:
Broadway St.
Broadway is currently closed from Brooklyn to 9th Street as part of a $45 million overhaul of the street. The project, scheduled to finish in 2024, will reconstruct curbs, sidewalks, driveway approaches and lighting along the corridor.
San Antonio Light
GrayStreet Partners is renovating 420 Broadway for office and retail space. The San Antonio Express-News is moving out of its historic building a block away and moving in to the Light building.
James Shaw, managing partner of personal injury law firm Carabin Shaw, plans to restore the 1930s building, according to the San Antonio Business Journal. The project received design approval from the San Antonio Historic and Design Review Commission in September.
The Soto
Local developer Hixon Properties and the Cavender auto family built a six-story office building on the site of the former Cavender Cadillac dealership at 711 Broadway. The first large-scale mass timber project in Texas will have roughly 140,600 square feet of tenant space and ground-floor retail.
Maverick Dog Park
An off-leash dog park with areas for small and large dogs is currently under construction. Plans also call for a public restroom and new sidewalks and seating at the park.

Flats at River North
The luxury apartment complex at 1011 Broadway offers units ranging from $1,200 per month for a studio to $3,375 per month for a three-bedroom. NRP Group partnered with the nonprofit San Antonio Housing Trust on the 280-unit project.
GrayStreet Partners is planning to build a 20-story tower at 1803 Broadway with ground-floor retail and restaurants, office space and the boutique W Hotel.
Broadway East
GrayStreet Partners plans to transform 20 acres in Government Hill into a blend of multifamily housing, retail and hospitality space, offices and outdoor plazas. The project is slated to cost $560 million and take 10 years to complete.
Silver Ventures constructed an eight-story building that will include a mix of office, retail, and restaurant space. Bank of America is leasing 66,000 square feet in the building, which will use geothermal power for heating and cooling.
Credit Human
Next door to Oxbow, Silver Ventures built a 12-story headquarters for Credit Human. The two buildings will share a plaza, fountain and park area.
Jefferson Bank
The bank plans to build a 13-story headquarters at 1900 Broadway with about 15,000 square feet of retail and 190,000 square feet of offices. Still Golden, a popular bar making way for the construction, will move into the new building.
Magnolia Heights
The mixed-use project at 5500 Broadway in Alamo Heights has completed construction with upscale apartments above Pure Barre and Westlake Dermatology.
Embrey Partners is building a mixed-use development with 216 luxury apartments and 53,000 square feet of office space on a triangle-shaped property just north of Alamo Heights. The company plans to move its headquarters there when construction is complete.

If you are looking for pipe markers for your DIY project, you should consider looking for them on the Internet. You see them throughout the buildings and facilities, and if you are the maintenance man of your building, then you are certainly familiar with them. Some sprout from the underground like great iron trees, while others protrude through walls or hang from ceilings in complicated tangles. Whether it is long or short, narrow or wide, straight or curved, these items of transport are imperative to the successful functioning of places as large as Olympic size swimming pools, and as small as a single bathroom.

If you still cannot figure it out, I am talking about plumbing. For people who are not familiar with pipes, it could get rather confusing trying to figure out which pipe carries what, and where does it originate or end. Is the wide pipe right at the end of the corner carrying sewage or is it carrying water? How do you locate the shutoff valve during your routine maintenance or during an emergency? That is why pipe markers exist. With the application of a good quality and well-placed pipe markers, you would not find it difficult to identify the many components of your plumbing system.
Therefore, if you are looking at buying some pipe markers, you should search for a variety of them on five s website. Five s has wide selections of pipe marking labels to make it convenient for you to identify your plumbing system. Whether you are maintenance man or simply a husband trying to work the plumbing system, these pipe markers would definitely come in handy. Browse the varieties of pipe markers online and choose the ones that suit you the best. You would not be disappointed with the choices and it would not take them long to deliver it to your doorstep.

La Sainte-Chapelle (The Holy Chapel) is a 13th-century Gothic chapel on the Île de la Cité in the heart of Paris, France. It was built by Louis IX for use as his royal chapel.
Sainte-Chapelle was founded by the ultra-devout King Louis IX of France, who constructed it as a chapel for the royal palace and to house precious relics. The palace itself has otherwise utterly disappeared, leaving the Sainte-Chapelle all but surrounded by the Palais de Justice.
In addition to properly sheltering his holy relics, Sainte-Chapelle was a result of Louis' political ambition to be the central monarch of western Christendom.
At the time Louis' royal chapel was constructed, the imperial throne at Constantinople was occupied by a mere Count of Flanders and the Holy Roman Empire was in uneasy disarray.
Sainte-Chapelle was planned in 1241, started in 1246 and quickly completed: it was consecrated on April 26, 1248.
Just as the Emperor could pass privately from his palace into Hagia Sophia in Constantinople, so now King Louis could walk directly from his palace into the Sainte-Chapelle. The king died of the plague on a crusade, was later canonized by the Pope, and is now known as Saint Louis.
During the French Revolution, the chapel was converted to an administrative office, and the windows were obscured by enormous filing cabinets. Their all-but-forgotten beauty was thereby inadvertently protected from the vandalism in which the choir stalls and the rood screen were destroyed, the spire pulled down and the relics dispersed.
Most of Louis' precious relicswere lost or destroyed in the French Revolution; the few that remain are in the treasury of Notre-Dame Cathedral.
In the 19th century, Viollet-le-Duc restored the chapel. The current spire is his design. Sainte-Chapelle has been a national historic monument since 1862.
Despite its small and humble exterior above the Palais de Justice buildings, Sainte-Chapelle is among the high points of French High Gothic architecture. The interior gives a a strong sense of fragile beauty, created by reducing the structural supports to a bare minimum to make way for huge expanse of exquisite stained glass. The result is a feeling of being enveloped in light and color.
Sainte-Chapelle stands squarely upon a lower chapel which served as parish church for all the inhabitants of the palace. This chapel, which is rather plain, is dedicated to the Virgin Mary. A souvenir stand often occupies most of the chapel today.
The most visually beautiful aspects of the chapel, and considered the best of their type in the world, are its 6,458 square feet of stained glass windows of the upper chapel, surrounded by delicate painted stonework. The windows are in deep reds and blues and illustrate 1,130 figures from the Bible. The rose windows added to the upper chapel in the 15th century.
Nearby is the Conciergerie, which can be accessed on a combined ticket with Sainte-Chapelle. Paris' oldest prison, it is where Marie Antionette and later the leaders of the Revolution were held before their execution.
Below is a location map and aerial view of Sainte-Chapelle. Using the buttons on the left (or the wheel on your mouse), you can zoom in for a closer look, or zoom out to get your bearings. To move around, click and drag the map with your mouse.

I currently have 4 men in my life. How do I know which one is right for me?
Please, I'd like to know the place of attraction in a relationship. Secondly, I am a 26-year-old working class lady. How do I know a guy who truly loves me for who I am? I currently have several suitors but there's one issue or the other with each one of them.
Suitor 1: After much persistence and just when things were going smoothly, he sent me a message to say he was praying for me that God will give me a husband better than him and that I will not make a marital mistake. Hmm, me I said Amen o. Afterwards, communication got stalled. Months later, he started becoming serious again.

John Travolta Shares Photo From First Father's Day Without Late Wife Kelly Preston
By Anna Rumer - June 23, 2021 12:34 am EDT
John Travolta is celebrating his role as father to 21-year-old Ella and 10-year-old son Benjamin as the family celebrated his first Father's Day without the Grease star's late wife, Kelly Preston. The 67-year-old actor shared a sweet selfie with his two kids for the occasion, captioning the photo, "Happy Father's Day everyone! It is a privilege to be the father of these two beautiful children - thank you for the honor and my love and respect to all fathers."
Travolta's family has been mourning the loss of Preston after she passed away in July 2020 at only 57 years old after a two-year battle with breast cancer. "It is with a very heavy heart that I inform you that my beautiful wife Kelly has lost her two-year battle with breast cancer," the Saturday Night Fever star announced on July 13. "She fought a courageous fight with the love and support of so many." He continued that Preston's "love and life" would always be remembered, advising fans that he would be stepping back from public life for a bit as he was "taking some time to be there for my children who have lost their mother." He concluded, "But please know that I will feel your outpouring of love in the weeks and months ahead as we heal."
A post shared by John Travolta (@johntravolta)
On Mother's Day, Travolta honored Preston with family photos shared to Instagram, including one with late son Jett, who died in 2009 at the age of 16. "Dearest Kelly, you brought into my life three of the most wonderful children I have ever known," the actor wrote in the caption. "We love and miss you. Happy Mother's Day."
In April, he opened up in an interview with Esquire Spain about his grieving process. "I learned that mourning someone, dealing with grief is something very personal," the Pulp Fiction actor told the magazine. "Mourning is individual and experiencing your own journey is what can lead you to heal. Your grief is different from another person's journey."
"The most important thing you can do to help another person when they are in mourning is allow them to live through it and not complicate it with yours," he continued. "Even though it's great to have company, sometimes it turns into you helping them instead of you working on your loss and grief."

Q: Can I just spray foam over my existing blown-in insulation in my attic? It has been there for 15 years and has settled.
A: You do not want to spray foam over existing insulation, encapsulating the old insulation. It will lead to moldy old insulation.
The old, settled, blown-in or batt stuff is doing NOTHING for your home's energy efficiency, comfort, and air quality and may even be contributing to allergies and mold.
Pull up the old insulation first. Then, spray down 1 layer of closed cell Foam It Green to get the tight air seal and an R-value of 7. Then, pile on new batt or blown in on top of the foam to build up the R-value to your total desired number.
Testing has shown this one exact project can shave up to 30% off your heating bills.
By putting down 1 inch of foam before filling with batt or blown in, the project is done right, and will save you a lot of money over the life of your home. It is a good investment because it pays you back every year. Even after the cost of the project is recuperated, that extra savings keeps coming. There are no other home projects that can boast a return like that!
And, as a bonus, the increased energy efficiency increases the value of your home, too!
Whatever you do, don't just add more blown in on top of the old stuff up there now. That is just throwing good money after bad.

This recital, presented by Galit Kaunitz, oboe, and Ellen Elder, piano, explores music by Jewish composers from diverse backgrounds.
Austrian Hans Gál, Moravian Pavel Haas, and Indian American Simon Sargon led varied, remarkable, and extraordinary lives. A testament to the talent of all three composers, these works for oboe and piano stand on their own, and contribute to the depth and breadth of great 20th and 21st century oboe literature.


 The Medical Training Co-ordinator of the New Zealand Family Planning Association commented on Newstalk ZB on 27 February 2002 at around 8.30am along the lines that human life begins at the implantation of the human embryo into a woman's womb and not at conception.
 Right to Life New Zealand Inc. complained to The Radio Network Ltd, the broadcaster of Newstalk ZB, that the comments were inaccurate, contrary to accepted medical practice and dangerous. It also submitted that the comments undermined "the respect due to the human embryo from conception".
 TRN declined to uphold the complaint, stating that the comments were made by a highly respected expert and were consistent with FPA policy. In addition, while acknowledging that there are different views on when conception takes place, TRN said it was satisfied that the doctor's comments were well-founded.
 Dissatisfied with TRN's response, RTL referred the complaint to the Broadcasting Standards Authority under s.8(1)(a) of the Broadcasting Act 1989.
 The members of the Authority have read the correspondence listed in the Appendix. The broadcaster did not provide a tape of the broadcast. The Authority determines this complaint without a formal hearing.
 Dr Sue Bagshaw, the Medical Training Co-ordinator for the New Zealand Family Planning Association, commented on Newstalk ZB on 27 February 2002 at around 8.30am along the lines that human life begins at the implantation of the human embryo into a woman's womb and not at conception.
 It also submitted that the comments undermined "the respect due to the human embryo from conception".
Dr Bagshaw's statements were consistent with FPA policy.
Family Planning is a recognised leader in reproductive health and we are satisfied that Dr Bagshaw's comments were well founded.
 TRN declined to uphold the complaint as a breach of Principle 6.
As a medical practitioner and spokesperson for the NZFPA [Dr Bagshaw's] statements have a perceived authority that would seriously mislead those listening to the programme to believe that she was upholding internationally accepted biological knowledge.
 RTL disagreed with TRN that the issue was when conception took place, and said that the issue was when human life begins.
 RTL maintained that it was inappropriate for TRN to conclude that the statements made by Dr Bagshaw were correct solely because they conformed with FPA policy. It said it had no difficulty with FPA having policy which did not accept the "universally accepted scientific fact that life begins at conception", but it did find difficulty in Dr Bagshaw "presenting to the public an opinion as scientific fact".
 RTL referred to evidence which it considered supported its view that human life begins with conception.
Since the introduction of oral contraceptives in the 1960's the IPPF [International Planned Parenthood Federation, with which FPA is affiliated] and others have been endeavouring to gain acceptance of the falsehood that human life begins at implantation and that contraception means the prevention of implantation.
The reason for this is that many oral contraceptives are abortifacient in nature and destroy a human embryo after conception and before implantation. The successful promotion of contraception among women depended on convincing women that human life did not begin until implantation and that therefore they were not responsible for destroying their own child before implantation by using an oral contraceptive.
This is a very important issue about the commencement of human life and the respect and protection we should afford the human embryo not a potential human being but a human being with great potential.
It is of great concern to this Society that Dr Bagshaw is permitted to use the public broadcasting service to deliberately propagate dangerous untruths on important life issues to promote the policies of the NZFPA and the IPPF.
 In a further letter, the complainant attached a letter from a specialist obstetrician and gynaecologist which supported its formal complaint.
These points of view [of RTL and Dr Bagshaw] are never likely to be reconciled but there should be no argument over Dr Bagshaw's right to express the position of New Zealand Family Planning Association.
 TRN submitted that the complaint was an attempt for acceptance of a point of view not universally accepted which was "political grandstanding".
 In its final comment, RTL said it considered its complaint was not about a difference in point of view, but was about accuracy and the denial of a long established, universally accepted scientific truth.
 Principle 4 of the Radio Code requires balance in the discussion of controversial issues of public importance. The broadcast in question was a discussion about the availability of the morning after pill. In this context, the question of "when human life begins" was addressed by Dr Bagshaw. While this latter question is clearly a controversial issue of public importance, the Authority does not consider that the broadcast amounted to a specifoc discussion of that issue on this occasion but was, rather, mentioned in the context of the availability of a particular form of contraception. The Authority therefore concludes that Principle 4 is not relevant in the determination of this complaint.
 The Authority also considers that Principle 5 is not relevant on this occasion. This principle requires that broadcasters deal fairly with any person referred to in a broadcast. In this case, no "person" was referred to in the material complained about.
 Principle 6 of the Radio Code requires broadcasters to be truthful and accurate on points of fact. In the Authority's view, the material complained about did not contain any statement of fact. Dr Bagshaw's comments were, the Authority considers, clearly presented as well-informed opinion. Furthermore, the Authority considers that the two positions on when human life begins, those of the FPA and the complainant, cannot be reconciled. This is a situation in which the Authority cannot independently determine the truth of the matter. The Authority has no basis upon which to find a breach of the standard in these circumstances, where the material under focus is neither demonstrably untrue nor incorrect. The Authority declines to uphold this aspect of the complaint.
 As a final point, the Authority notes that Principle 8 of the Radio Code requires broadcasters to keep tapes, and be able to obtain a transcript, of all current affairs broadcasts such as the one complained about for a period of 35 days after broadcast. The broadcaster was not able to supply either a tape or a transcript of the broadcast to the Authority. Although the broadcaster's failure to comply with Principle 8 did not substantially affect the Authority's ability to determine this complaint, it reminds TRN of its obligations to keep tapes in accordance with the Radio Code and to ensure it has in place a proper procedure for dealing with complaints under s.5(a) of the Broadcasting Act.


Happy Happy New Year everybody! 2016 has begun and you know what that means? It's time for everyone to start their New Year's resolution of getting back into shape, which most likely will last a month, tops. Then you'll say "SCREW IT, I'm eating chocolate cake for dinner!" I know how hard it is to find easy and SERIOUSLY DELICIOUS ways to enjoy vegetables can be somewhat of a challenge. I love vegetables, but cauliflower was never one of those veggies I could stand eating. Mainly because I had only ever eaten it when it was steamed or served raw on a veggie tray. For me, eating cauliflower was about as exciting as watching paint dry. However, all that changed when I ate at one of my favorite Nashville restaurants, Etch. Chef Deb Paquette is one of Nashville's most beloved and celebrated chefs who is known for having a wild imagination when it comes to combining flavors. Her roasted cauliflower with truffled pea pesto and feta dip was hands-down the best vegetable dish I've ever eaten!
To simplify this recipe, I used sour cream instead of creme fraiche (which I can never find at the store), and infused a few drops of glorious truffle oil which is hands-down my new favorite flavor enhancer. Although a price tag of $10.00-$15.00 for a 2 or 3oz. bottle sounds steep, you will only use a FEW DROPS whenever you want to add that beautiful truffled flavor to your dish, otherwise it can be overwhelming. Potatoes and french fries pair especially well with truffle oil because it lends an earthy, almost garlick-y aroma and flavor. As you can see, I used purple cauliflower because they were sold out of white cauliflower at the store. The flavor is the same, though the beautiful jewel tones certainly are more pleasing to the eye.
To bring this dish together, simply chop the cauliflower and add olive oil, salt and pepper. Roast on a sheet pan at 400 degrees for 10-14 minutes, depending on the size of the head of cauliflower.
It should be caramelized, but still have a little bite to it.
To make the feta crema, combine the sour cream, crumbled feta, olive oil, salt and pepper. Finish with a few drops of truffle oil, but don't go overboard!! Make sure to cover the opening of the bottle with your finger, then drizzle????.
Roasted cauliflower with feta crema is the perfect appetizer or side dish guaranteed to make your palate sing!!
Place the chopped cauliflower on a sheet pan and toss with 2 Tbsp. olive oil, salt and pepper.
Bake for 10-14 minutes, depending on the size of the head of cauliflower. It should be caramelized, but still have a little bite to it.
While the cauliflower is being baked, combine the sour cream, crumbled feta, 1 Tbsp. olive oil, and salt and pepper. Finish with 4-5 drops of truffle oil. Cover the opening of the bottle of truffle oil with your finger to ensure you only get a few drops. A little goes a long way!!
Oh yum!! You are so right about the poor veggies getting a bad rap. And we love our truffle oil. We usually put it on our steak after we grill it. Your photos are very beautiful — you are doing great. Have a wonderful day!! Darn!! Your stars are still just marking 4 — I wanted to give this a five.
Truffle oil on steak sounds awesome! I'll have to give it a try. Have a great day Marisa!
Yummy!!!!!!! I love cauliflower, normally I just boil or stir fired now I have chance to learnt new recipe.
The the feta crema is awesome as well. Well done Lesline, now the vegetarian like me will have one more dish to choice!
Wow , I am a vegetarian person and I love it, Leslie. Especially Roasted cauliflower without oil then very healthy. Will follow and looking forward to your fantastic recipe!!!!!
Angie! It does have a bit of olive oil to coat the cauliflower while roasting, otherwise it would be very dry.


A few months after my wife died, a colleague told me that I should write a book, and do what C. S. Lewis did in A Grief Observed. This struck me as crazy: I am no C. S. Lewis! But gradually the idea took root that I did have something to say that might be useful. I had been through something that happens to many people, one way or another: caring for a loved one through a long decline.
What, people might wonder, would a "professional religious person" do when such a thing comes home to him or her? Would he or she continue to believe? How would his or her beliefs be altered?
So, I wrote the book not for myself, but for my readers, to try to be honest about my Christian faith, my own struggles and questions, and to give a testimony of how God was with me and with Susan in all of this.
2. If you have to list three key takeaways from this book you would like for the reader to experience, what would they be?
First, that we don't need to try to be "religious" or pious when going through suffering, but rather we should just be, as naturally as possible, completely open with God.
Second, that it is okay to ask all the old questions, e.g., "Why is this happening to me?" "Where are you?" and so forth. I believe that God gave me my heart's desire when He gave me Susan, and I also believe He took her away (at least in the sense that He could have arranged things to turn out differently). I asked these questions often throughout this journey.
Third, despite God's strangeness, He is still present to us. This is, in a way, the point of my testimony: that even though I often didn't sense it, He was there, and He is here.
3. Do you have a favorite passage or chapter in this book?
But actually, my favorite passages of the book are those written by Susan. Early on I quote from her writings, to help the reader get to know her. Then, as an appendix, I put a story she wrote about trees weeping, which I call, "To Plumb the Depths of God's Love." The best writing in the book is hers.
4. If you were sitting beside the reader, what portion of the book do you feel you would want him or her to spend extra time on, and why?
I think it would be the section on Jesus saying, "My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken me?" I say this because Jesus went down to the very pits, to the lowest places in the universe, further down than any of us ever has to go, down to the very bottom. The Son of God experienced forsakenness, and yet—how had I never noticed this—even with that experience He was able to ask "God," indeed "my God," a question. This is something I still ponder. I think it is the greatest mystery of the Christian faith, profoundly Trinitarian, and in truth the most hopeful thing.
5. In what specific ways can this book equip, encourage, and/or instruct ministers?
Ministers have written to me about how Losing Susan has helped them make sense of their own experiences of care-giving and loss. It is also a book you can give to someone who is going through a similar journey. Fundamentally, the book is encouraging, because we believe in the resurrection!


Seal cooling and heating ducts with mastic sealant to prevent the loss of warm air in the winter or cool air in the summer.
For energy saving, we recommend setting the thermostat to 68 degrees in winter.
Install a programmable thermostat* and set it to adjust the temperature inside just before you are set to arrive home.
Replace filters regularly, usually every 1-2 months.
Make sure the thermostat is compatible with heat pumps or it will cause bills to increase.
Replace incandescent bulbs with CFL or LED bulbs to save energy.
Run ceiling fans counterclockwise on low during the winter to circulate warm air and run the heat pump less.
Install inexpensive foam gaskets behind light switches on exterior walls to prevent air leaks.
Make sure you have adequate insulation in ceilings and walls to prevent unwanted heat loss or gain. Insulation should be 10-14 inches deep in the attic.
Keep curtains open and tilt blinds down to let the sun and warmth in; close curtains at night to prevent heat loss.
Use low VOC caulk and weather stripping around windows and doors to reduce air infiltration.
Install door sweeps and door shoe gaskets to further control heat loss and gain.
If you have to replace windows, install ENERGY STAR® certified windows to keep hot air out in the summer and prevent warm air from escaping during winter.
Jackson EMC offers rebates for members who need to replace their water heater or heat pump. Learn more at www.jacksonemc.com/rebates.


CAMPS HAVE SOLD OUT THE LAST FIVE SUMMERS!!!
The girls will participate in advanced learning sessions which include staff demonstrations, tactical training and skills development such as dribbling, passing and receiving. Each day, the sessions will be followed by scrimmages allowing the campers to utilize the skills learned.
The staff will ensure a FUN and PARTICIPATORY learning environment!
Sue Patberg believes that the game of soccer can be both a learning experience and fun as well. Teaching with enthusiasm and a positive attitude allows each participant to leave camp a better soccer player, teammate and person. We strongly believe camp should be educational, but more importantly for this age group, FUN!

Hrvatsko šumarsko društvo ima izvor u Hrvatsko-slavonskom gospodarskom društvu, koje je na inicijativu šumara osnovano u Zagrebu 1841. godine. Unutar njega, zaslugom šumara Dragutina Kosa 1846. godine, osnovano je šest sekcija. Šumarska sekcija utemeljena je 26. prosinca 1846. u Prečecu kraj Zagreba. Taj se dan uzima kao početak rada Hrvatskoga šumarskoga društva, iako su šumari bili u većini pri osnivanju Hrvatsko-slavonskog gospodarskoga društva.

Društvo je pokretačem svih značajnih postignuća šumarske prakse, obrazovanja i znanosti. Ako bismo nabrajali samo najznačajnije, onda su to: pokretanje donošenja Zakona šumskoga već 1852. te njegove stroge primjene od 1858.; početak rada Gospodarsko-šumarskoga učilišta u Križevcima 1860.; priprema i tiskanje znanstveno-stručnoga i staleškoga glasila Šumarski list 1. siječnja 1877. god., koji je otada do danas kontinuirano izlazi; priprema i sudjelovanje na Milenijskoj izložbi u Budimpešti 1896. godine, gdje su Kraljevine Hrvatska i Slavonija imale svoj izložbeni prostor, a šumarstvo i prerada drva svoj posebni paviljon; gradnja Hrvatskoga šumarskoga doma (na današnjem Trg Antuna, Ivana i Vladimira Mažuranića) 1898. godine i u njemu početak rada Šumarske akademije (20. listopada 1898.), kao četvrte visokoškolske ustanove Sveučilišta u Zagrebu (tada još "prislonjene" uz Mudroslovni fakultet); utemeljenje Šumarskoga muzeja u istoj zgradi; osnivanje Akademije šumarskih znanosti 1996.

Društvo danas okuplja oko 2700 članova i ponosi se kontinuitetom i "potrajnošću" svog djelovanja, bez obzira na promjene vlasti, država, tehnologija i uvjeta življenja.

For years, energy has taken an important place in people's lives every day.
We always had the habit of using energy. The sun is a star of the heat then is it possible to withdraw it energy?
Today solar energy is available to humans, even though it's been years that the sun gave us heat.
The sun by warming gave ideas as to what researchers can extract it with energy based on the fact that heat through its solar rays can be concentrated in a metal plate and produces a warming of up to 500 ° C to 1000 ° C.
So when we speak of the sun, it still implies heat and warming.
Well it's this heat that can provide energy and that can use the sun as practicable energy source in everyday life.
About these benefits, the sun as energy source is a non-polluting source and can preserve the environment and nature and also it is more convenient especially for health.
Take the example of a bucket of water that you put in the sun after a few hours we will not need to heat the water, the water is already warm without warming over a fire; This is the same system that is used for the solar water heater.
One can also take the experience with a mirror, you can even practice at home; So we take a mirror, we put it under the sun or against a bucket of water on the shelf qu'effectue the mirror is placed, we can see that after a while the water will be warm.
You can use this same experience in the same street.
For example we pass a building window, there are reflections of glass on our way then we can put on the shelf; you can feel the heat on the skin.
So it is with these same experiences that we have found that the sun can provide us with warmth without electric heating for free and you can also use it to have energy for heating a house using the manufacture metal plate with the mirror.
A solar energy plant called for the central power "thermodynamics", this word comes from the word for baths somehow heat.
For electricity based on solar energy, we need to mirror and dish to concentrate the sun's rays and heat the water that is in the material and the heat that causes a temperature the machine that produces electricity.
So we will not need coal or wood to provide heat continuously.
Formerly, we used coal and wood to run trains or boats that is to say that it is the heat of the fires to start the machine.
Well it's a bit like that as solar energy is used in electricity.
By cons solar energy has its drawbacks, like what we can not get them that day and also in sunny countries; So for the night and for countries such as Greenland or Alaska, we need another energy source.
For vehicles or transport, how do we can do to solve this problem; how is it that we can provide energy without polluting like solar energy.
It is true that solar energy has benefits but against even in sunny countries, poverty does not allow its residents to pay for the installation because the materials are expensive and the income of a poor family can not afford to outdated expense.
Finally we always find that the sun is a good source of energy because it is non-polluting and more practicable.
And in everyday life, we can always use until the sun shines because the sun is permanent energy source.

What is the meaning of "too much was at stake"? [closed]
What is the meaning of "too much was at stake" in this sentence:
He agonized over the question of whether he should visit Greece - an obvious destination, given his long obsession with its temples, its rocky outcrops, and its Heraclitus and Parmenides. But that was why he was nervous: too much was at stake

"Please include the research you've done, or consider if your question suits our English Language Learners site better. Questions that can be answered using commonly-available references are off-topic." – Drew, tchrist, k1eran, P. O., NVZ
The question of the visit was extremely important to him. – deadrat Aug 21 '16 at 7:41
At stake is an idiomatic expression: Fig. ready to be won or lost; at risk; hanging in the balance. That's a very risky investment. How much money is at stake? I have everything at stake on this wager. idioms.thefreedictionary.com/at+stake – user66974 Aug 21 '16 at 7:56
by saying too much was at stake he meant, he would lose a lot ( emotionally ) if he did not visit that country. – Abhilaaj Aug 21 '16 at 8:49
"At stake" is an idiom which probably refers to gambling, where the "stake" is the amount of money bet. "Too much was at stake" means there was a lot to lose. – Hot Licks Aug 21 '16 at 13:19
The person in question apparently:
needs to make a choice on where his next visit should be.
has a choice of visiting Greece for this next visit.
holds Greece as a preferred destination, given his long obsession with its temples, its rocky outcrops, and its Heraclitus and Parmenides.
is anxious whether he will be able to spend enough/quality time in Greece if he visits this time (probably because there may not be enough time available, perhaps due to other important matters to take care of or limited duration) and he may not have a second chance to visit Greece (for whatever reason).
is also, perhaps, anxious because he wonders when/whether he will get a chance to visit Greece if he skips it now.
For all we know, probably he has only one shot at visiting Greece, if at all, and he wants it to matter whenever it happens.
So, one of the following is at stake for him:
the opportunity to visit Greece (should he miss it now?)
the opportunity to spend quality time in Greece (should he visit it in a hurry?)
From dictionary.cambridge.org:
at stake
If something that is valuable is at stake, it is in a situation where it might be lost: Thousands of lives will be at stake if emergency aid does not arrive in the city soon.

Curiosity Rover Recons Rocky Base of Mars Mountain (Photos)
By Mike Wall published 20 November 14

NASA's Mars rover Curiosity is taking a good, long look at the first rocks it encountered at the base of a huge Martian mountain.
The car-size Curiosity rover continues to investigate an outcrop at the foot of Mount Sharp that is dubbed Pahrump Hills, which the robot reached in September after a 14-month trek. After completing a reconnaissance circuit of Pahrump Hills, Curiosity is now examining rocks in the outcrop with its spectrometer and close-up cameras, NASA officials said.
The data Curiosity is gathering will help mission team members decide whether or not they want to drill into Pahrump Hills and collect samples again. (Curiosity already performed a full-up drilling operation in the outcrop in September, the rover's fourth since touching down on Mars.) [Curiosity Rover's Latest Mars Photos]

"We see a diversity of textures in this outcrop — some parts finely layered and fine-grained, others more blocky with erosion-resistant ledges," Curiosity deputy project scientist Ashwin Vasavada, of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, said in a mission update Tuesday (Nov. 18).
"Overlaid on that structure are compositional variations," he added. "Some of those variations were detected with our spectrometer. Others show themselves as apparent differences in cementation or as mineral veins. There's a lot to study here."

Curiosity landed inside the 96-mile-wide (154 kilometers) Gale Crater in August 2012, on a mission to determine if Mars has ever been capable of supporting microbial life. That goal has already been achieved; Curiosity's work revealed that a place near its landing site called Yellowknife Bay was a habitable lake-and-stream system billions of years ago.
The six-wheeled robot left the Yellowknife Bay area in July 2013 for Mount Sharp, which has been Curiosity's ultimate destination since before its November 2011 launch. Mission scientists want the rover to climb up through the 3.4-mile-high (5.5 km) mountain's foothills, reading in the rocks a history of Mars' changing environmental conditions as it goes.
While Curiosity examines possible drilling targets at Pahrump Hills, the rover's handlers are also trying to troubleshoot an issue with its Chemistry and Camera instrument (ChemCam), which fires a laser at rocks and analyzes the composition of the resulting vaporized bits using a telescope and spectrometers.

A small laser that ChemCam uses to focus its telescope appears to be weakening, NASA officials said. But it may still be possible to use the instrument even if the little laser fails, they added.
"If the smaller laser has become too weak to continue using, the ChemCam team plans to test an alternative method: firing a few shots from the main laser while focusing the telescope, before performing the analysis," officials wrote in Tuesday's update. "This would take advantage of more than 2,000 autofocus sequences ChemCam has completed on Mars, providing calibration points for the new procedure."

Thank you for a great day. We talked over dinner. Our 3 daughters had a fantastic all day tour. Monkies and golden pavilion were the highlights. They were tired, we are back at the house now and relaxing. See you on Sunday for round 2.
Even though they did not have a chance to visit Katsura Imperial Villa, they enjoyed their three-day Kyoto tour.
Hi there Toshi…. I would sincerely like to thank you for an excellent day. You are a wonderful guide and now a good friend. All the clients commented on what a good guide you were and we all thoroughly enjoyed your company.
Thank you for your photos that Jan forwarded. And thank you for your information and guidance during our trip. It was greatly appreciated.
We found Toshi's profile and realized he would be a great fit. He understood as Americans we have lots of questions and we like to talk. He was flexible and worked great around our needs and children's needs. We explained we were going around the world and that the culture is the kids class room. He engaged right away with our kids. The second day we lost 2 and we had to change plans and he was awesome about the change. Very easy going and extremely likable. Would recommend him any time.
