Prefect Apostolic
( Latin prœfectus, one put over or in charge of something)
During the last few centuries it has been the practice of the Holy See to govern either through prefects Apostolic, or through vicars Apostolic (q. v), many of the territories where no dioceses with resident bishops exist. These territories are called respectively prefectures Apostolic and vicariates Apostolic. This had been done by the Holy See when, owing to local circumstances, such as the character and customs of the people, the hostility of the civil powers and the like, it was doubtful whether an episcopal see could be permanently established. The establishing of a mere prefecture Apostolic in a place supposes that the Church has attained there only a small development. A fuller development leads to the foundation of a vicariate Apostolic, i.e., the intermediate stage between a prefecture and a diocese. A prefect Apostolic is of lower rank than a vicar ; his powers are more limited, nor has he, as a rule, the episcopal character, as is ordinarily the case with a vicar Apostolic . The duties of a prefect Apostolic consist in directing the work of the mission entrusted to his care; his powers are in general those necessarily connected with the ordinary administration of such an office, as, for instance, the assigning of missionaries, the making of regulations for the good management of the affairs of his mission, and the like. Moreover, he has extraordinary faculties for several cases reserved otherwise to the Apostolic See, such as, for instance, absolutions from censures, dispensations from matrimonial impediments. He has also the faculty of consecrating chalices, patens, and portable altars, and some prefects Apostolic have the power to administer Confirmation. The prefects Apostolic we have described so far have independent territories and are subject only to the Holy See. Sometimes, when a vicariate or a diocese extends over a very large territory, in which the Catholic population is unequally distributed, the Holy See places a portion of such territory in charge of a prefect Apostolic; in which case the faculties of the prefect are more limited, and in the exercise of his office he depends on the vicar Apostolic or the bishop, whose consent he needs for the exercise of many of his functions, and to whose supervision his administration is subject. With a view to still better protecting the authority of the local vicar Apostolic or bishop, it was proposed in the Vatican Council to abolish this second class of prefects Apostolic having jurisdiction over districts within the limits of a vicariate or diocese of the Latin Rite ; but the existing order remained unchanged owing to the interruption of that Council. As to the same class of prefects Apostolic within the limits of territories subject to Oriental Churches, Leo XIII abolished them by a Decree of the Propaganda (12 Sept., 1896), and substituted superiors with special dependence on the delegates Apostolic of the respective places. There are (1911) 66 prefectures Apostolic : Europe, 5; Asia, 17; North America, 3; South America, 11; Africa, 23; Oceania, 7.

Jacqueline Laurita on Teresa Giudice: "She's Not Someone I Want in My Life"
By Allison Corneau

Jacqueline Laurita is sick and tired of playing nice around her one-time friend and Real Housewives of New Jersey costar Teresa Giudice.
Arguing that Guidice was in "denial" about her massive family feud with Joe Gorga, Laurita told Us Weekly at Monday's Samsung Hope For Children Gala in New York City that she's had enough of Giudice's two-faced antics once and for all.
PHOTOS: Celeb feuds — whose side are you on?
"I always gave her my honest opinion and she would get upset with me," says Laurita, 42, who told Giudice, 40, to consider going to therapy with her brother on Sunday's episode. "She asked me for it, but then she would get mad when I didn't agree with her."

Once Laurita realized Giudice was taking advantage of their friendship, the reality star decided to sever all ties with the mom of four. "She's not someone I want in my life," says Laurita. "I realized that she was never there for me."
As Giudice's family struggles play out on national television, Laurita has little faith that her former friend can mend fences.
VIDEO: How Melissa Gorga feels about Teresa's insults
"Like I said on the show: if you're not looking for a solution, and you can't look into yourself to see where you have contributed to a problem, there's never going to be a resolve," she tells Us. "You're not open to it."

The purpose for an initial session is for the counsellor to assess and understand what the client wishes to address. The client and counsellor can then get a sense of how they wish to work together.
During this initial session possible issues or themes may be highlighted, that will then be looked at in more depth during the therapy.
Depending on the issues raised a short family history may be taken, together with any past or any other relevant experiences. This information will be discussed briefly with a view to further exploration during future therapy sessions.
Following the initial session, the therapy begins and provides the client with a confidential space, and an opportunity express emotions, feelings and thoughts.
The client will be encouraged to use free thinking to explore any problems they are experiencing. The aim here is that this will lead to further exploration of any issues, together with providing a framework.
The counsellor will offer warmth, guidance, encouragement, empathy, understanding, feedback, insight and more. Additional support is also provided when needed.
Sometimes keeping a journal or writing notes in-between sessions is encouraged, so clients can continue to experience empowerment and further exploration outside of sessions also.


That's what it looks like. Simple, isn't it?
SIJO (the word is both singular and plural) is an ancient Korean verse form traditionally containing 3 lines of 14-16 syllables each, for a total of 44-46. It resembles haiku in having a strong foundation in nature and in even more ancient Chinese patterns, but its unique characteristics and flavor distinguish it from all other poetry genre .
Either narrative or thematic, this lyric verse introduces a situation or problem in line 1, development (called a turn) in line 2, and a strong conclusion beginning with a surprise (a twist) in line 3, which resolves tensions or questions raised by the other lines and provides a memorable ending.
pelicans wait poker-faced for bait fish we may leave behind.
Bob away, line, while I watch the sun going back to water.
Korean poetry can be traced at least as far back as King Yuri's Song of Yellow Birds (17BC), but its roots are in still earlier Chinese quatrains. Sijo, Korea's favorite poetic genre, is often traced to Confucian monks of the eleventh century, but its roots, too, are in those earlier forms. Its greatest flowering occurred in the 16th and 17th centuries.
Sijo is, first and foremost, a song. This lyric pattern gained popularity in royal courts as a vehicle for religious or philosophic expression, but a parallel tradition arose among the 'common' folk. Sijo were sung or chanted with musical accompaniment, and still are. In fact, the word originally referred only to the music, but it has come to be identified with the lyric as well.
beneath wisteria clusters, hidden, I wait in purple.
rise to break apart among clouds...silently break among clouds.
and bit clear through a broomstick.
Again like haiku, sijo may use puns, allusions and similar word play. Unlike its Japanese cousin, however, it may use metaphor and other figurative language more openly.
embrace upon this holy air.
is the art of a cathedral.
cannot be wed to earth.
An important feature at the beginning of the final line (or couplet in the 6-line form) is the twist: a surprise of meaning, sound, tone or other technique. It is likely to be more subjective and personal, and it frequently takes a profound, witty or proverbial turn.
Although most sijo in the classic tradition have no titles, the author of the following verse chose to use one. In this case, I believe it supplies important information that might otherwise slow the progress of the body of the poem.
I go deeper into the hills.
Although the classic sijo adheres closely to syllabic restrictions, it doesn�t simply count syllables. It is more phrasal than syllabic. Because of its nature and the nature of Hangul, the Korean script, the structure of sijo resembles Hebrew & biblical verse. In English it may resemble Hopkins� sprung rhythm. To achieve this effect, each long line, once divided, is divided again, into quarters averaging 3-5 syllables. This phrasal quality is a basic feature of the form. Meter is not vital in sijo, but that musical link is. In the following verse, the midline break is represented by two slashes (//) and the quarter-line breaks by one (/).
for such wonder/ what wise man // would not know / his Creator ?
The poet should not lose sight of three basic characteristics that make the sijo unique: its structure, its musical/rhythmic elements, and the twist which begins the final line. For best results, poets follow these and other guidelines very closely.

Fiche technique

Distribution

Production

Genèse du projet
En 2012, un film regroupant les principaux humoristes de l'émission On n'demande qu'à en rire, avec Laurent Ruquier sur France 2, est annoncé. Philippe Lefebvre, réalisateur et mari de la productrice de l'émission Catherine Barma, est responsable du projet. Le scénario est confié à Jérémy Ferrari, aidé par Charles Hudon, le directeur artistique de l'émission. Le projet se précise ensuite, il s'agit d'une .

Après écriture, Julien Seul (société JS Productions), Mathias Rubin (société Récifilms) et Éric Juhérian (id.) acquièrent les droits du scénario pour produire le film. Ils proposent le projet du film aux réalisateurs Alexandre Charlot et Franck Magnier. Ceux-ci ont apporté une rythmique de cinéma à cette histoire (qui était à l'origine écrite comme une succession de sketches) et développé les personnages en leur donnant de l'épaisseur et de l'humanité. Des contacts sont pris avec Franck Dubosc sous réserve d'apporter des modifications au scénario.

Lieux de tournage
Une partie du tournage s'est déroulé à Saint-Maur-des-Fossés, et au Plessis-Robinson , pourtant dans le film l'histoire se déroule dans le département de la Sarthe.

Autour du film
 Avec Les Têtes de l'emploi, Alexandre Charlot et Franck Magnier réalisent leur troisième film après Imogène McCarthery et Boule et Bill.

 Franck Dubosc avait déjà joué en compagnie d'Elsa Zylberstein dans Plan de table et François-Xavier Demaison dans Disco.

Volet judiciaire
En , alors que le scénario est remanié, Jérémy Ferrari, qui n'est par ailleurs pas cité au générique, exprime son  qui s'éloigne . Une procédure judiciaire est alors engagée ; l'humoriste réclame   euros au titre du préjudice matériel et  euros au titre du préjudice moral.

Hi, I have been having menstrual like cramps, especially at nightime, and more on the left side of my body for 2 nights in a row now. this had happened before and i called my doctor and he had me come in to get tested for a UTI, the test came back fine, but i am having the same cramps again. i want to say that they are mild, but at some point they get pretty painful like before a period. and it also seems i had diarhea (sorry about details) before they started 2 days ago. anyone been through this and find it normal, i'm trying not to worry... thanks for any suggestions.
Sorry sweetheart. I am 28w4d today and I spent all last week in hospital being monitored for the cramping and symptoms you described - no UTI, renal scan clear but still having some blood show up in urine. Those are definite warning signs of pre labour and they gav me steroids to mature the babies lungs and I am now considered high risk. I would go and get checked out. Have they been coming in any kind of regularity? Mine did and then didn;t and then did again when I actually sat down and time them. Go to L&D and get checked over - better safe than sorry! Good luck!

New movie being filmed in Sumner County
Something scary is stirring in the woods up in Sumner County. No worries though, none of it is true. How can that be? News 4's Terry Bulger explains.
WHITEHOUSE, TN (WSMV) - Something scary is stirring in the woods up in Sumner County. What they are doing is making a movie. It's a hit-or-miss gamble 40 miles North of Nashville.
"This is just a lot of fun for everyone, but of course we want people to see it, and that only happens if we make a good movie," "The Legend of Lake Hollow" director Chris Hollow said.
If you wonder what the movie "The Legend of Lake Hollow" is about, think woods, water, and horror. One of the film's stars is Belmont Graduate and actor Austin Copps. He just gets excited to hear those words "and action!"
"It just reminds you that this is real, but it's so much fun and exactly what I want to be doing," Copps said.
Now it's previews and reviews that decide what's next. Thumbs up or down determine if it makes it to a theater near you.

There are some who say that the biggest barrier to mass adoption of bitcoin long-term is price volatility because it limits use as a store of value. Does price volatility really affect bitcoin's use as a store of value? Let's look at some basic economics. Store of value is a bitcoin long-term perspective and while it does have an effect on it as a medium of exchange, if you are buying and investing as a store of value – that would be certainly more long-term than a year. How bitcoin has performed in the last year, up about 600%, makes it a very good store of value. Performance over the last three years also, but perhaps not over the last three months. However, that is not what "store of value" means.
Would-be investors have been kicking themselves for well over two years as the price of bitcoin soared to new all-time highs in late 2017, and continues to be a very lucrative investment – unless, of course, you bought in at all-time highs. Investors who bought $100 worth of bitcoin a year starting in July 2010 would have 1,185 BTC worth $2,760,379 today. An investment of $100 per month starting in July 2014 ($4,800) would amount to 9 BTC worth $61,002 today, and same amount starting in July 2016 would be worth $10,649 for a $2,400 investment. Of course, an investor that bought in at all-time highs in December 2017 would have lost money. That's often the case when one invests without understanding the asset and "fear of missing out" is the driving force.
Getting back to the issue of price volatility, if bitcoin's resistance to regulation is a feature and not a "bug", will stability come from the absence of regulation or mass adoption? To answer this, it is important to understand volatility within capital markets and currency markets. Regulators do not control volatility in currency, if anything, regulated markets that do not have enough flexibility and liquidity are even more volatile. This indicates that the small size of bitcoin as a currency is probably the largest contributor to its volatility. Bitcoin is traded on a global scale – unlike most other national currencies in primarily domestic markets – and in a global market, bitcoin is really small at this point in time.
Even for a domestic currency, $100 billion is very small and especially on a global scale. As Bitcoin gets bigger and the market becomes more liquid as it is traded more and used for different purposes versus just speculation, that will reduce volatility. As for bitcoin long-term stability, the more it is used for purchasing or selling, the more companies depend upon it as input, use for payments, or hold inventory – the more the price volatility will be reduced. Currently, Bitcoin is mostly used for speculation on a short-term basis, traded globally in a wide open market. The result is quite volatile, but Bitcoin will become less volatile as it grows.
Bitcoin is not a debt instrument like other currencies or some other cryptocurrencies. When you hold bitcoin, nobody owes bitcoin to another entity or person – it is an asset. Most other systems we use for money are actually debt instruments created through credit. You have a dollar, somebody owes somebody else for that dollar, and is holding a debt. Bitcoin is a very different system than traditional currencies with which we are familiar.
Another huge difference is the lending done through fractional reserve banking with traditional currencies. In other words, the creation of money out of thin air by banks lending $10 for every dollar they hold in deposits that allows them to expand available credit, or inflate the economy by producing more credit. If properly invested, that credit might increase productivity and create returns. But if not, it creates bubbles and inflation in the underlying currency.
While it isn't known how Bitcoin will change the role debt plays, we do know that it cannot be used for fractional reserve banking. Bitcoin that does not exist or held cannot be loaned. Debt cannot be issued in bitcoin directly. This is not true of other cryptocurrencies with different capability and feature claims. Most are not doing much more than creating another pool of currency being injected into the system, and just inflating the supply of money. Altcoins do not create inflation in Bitcoin's supply because it is constrained by design – only in the other cryptocurrencies themselves.
There is an assumption that there will be one money, and that it will be mandatory money everyone worldwide must use. Bitcoin is an opt-in, voluntary system that no one has to use. The problem with monetary policies of nations is that you can't opt-out of using the currency and the policies change at the whim of bureaucrats. There is no choice to pick any monetary policy or currency to use on a day-to-day basis, you can be locked out of a system, your assets can be held hostage, and you have no exit. Bitcoin's monetary system is relatively unchangeable within Bitcoin – but you don't have to use it. Bitcoin long-term and short-term is about "choice" and not about replacing central banks with a deflationary monetary system that is imposed on everyone or anyone. Whether or not you think it is a good long-term investment is also a choice.

ARCHAEOLOGY PROJECTS
PALEONTOLOGY PROJECTS
Portola Center (Tract 15353) Housing Subdivision Project, City of Lake Forest
The Portola Center (Tract 15353) Project involved the removal and redistribution of over 1.8 million cubic yards of earth on a 95-acre site in the foothills of the Santa Ana Mountains for the construction of 331 single-family homes, a 256-unit townhouse complex, streets, parks, and open spaces. Impacts to potential paleontological resources at the project were addressed in the City of Lake Forest's Opportunities Study Area Final Program Environmental Impact Report, which based its findings and conclusions regarding paleontological resource mitigation measures upon BFSA's paleontological assessment report, pursuant to CEQA regulations. In the assessment, BFSA concluded that the underlying geologic formations were highly sensitive regarding the potential to yield fossils.
After over four years of monitoring at the project, an abundance of deep-water marine invertebrate and vertebrate faunas from the middle to late Miocene Epoch (nine to 14 million years old) were recovered. Over 320 fossils were obtained from multiple field collections assigned to 76 museum localities. Notable fossils included a very large, new species of right whale, the skull and upper body bones of a toothed whale preserved inside a boulder, and the rear feet of a walrus. Over 15 species of fossil fish and sharks were recovered, including bones from the six-foot-long, saber-toothed salmon and teeth from an ancient species of mako shark and the giant Megalodon. The most common fish was Ganolytes cameo, an extinct species of sardine over a foot long with fingernail-sized scales. The fossil mollusk collections represent a rarely seen Miocene assemblage of deep-water species. These specimens are currently under a joint study by United States Geological Survey and BFSA paleontologists. The results of the study will be published by 2021.
Residential Home, Tourmaline Surfing Park, La Jolla, City of San Diego
BFSA has extensive experience guiding residential projects to meet rigorous City of San Diego-mandated Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program guidelines for paleontological resources. For example, a new bluff-top real estate project involved extensive underground excavation for a subsurface garage and other amenities. The homesite is perched at the edge of a seaside cliff overlooking Tourmaline Surfing Park. The geology is spectacularly expressed on the face of the 70-foot-high cliff, accounting for multiple scientific publications over the past 50 years and visits by thousands of geology students. Most of the bluff is composed of the 47-million-year-old Mount Soledad Formation, but ironically, fossils from this extensive outcrop were unknown. As a result of monitoring during drilling and excavation for the building's subsurface structures, impressions of a diverse assortment of fossil shells were discovered from this formation for the first time, and, as a result, a scientific article authored by BFSA scientists with assistance from a United States Geological Survey paleontologist is forthcoming to document the significance of the finds.
Allegro Tower, Pinnacle Marina Tower, and Parkloft Apartments Projects, Downtown San Diego
Downtown San Diego overlies geologic formations rated as having a "High Sensitivity" by the County of San Diego and the City of San Diego for the potential to yield paleontological resources. These sensitivity ratings are based upon the occurrence and distribution of known fossil localities. Dr. George Kennedy of BFSA was consulted to advise the panel responsible for drafting the City of San Diego's final paleontological mitigation, monitoring, and reporting guidelines. Dr. Kennedy's field and managerial experience include dozens of downtown projects, the majority of which yielded fossils.
For example, the Allegro Tower, Pinnacle Marina Tower, and Parkloft Apartments projects are a part of downtown San Diego's vast, ongoing, two-decade-long redevelopment endeavors, and impacts to rich, fossiliferous strata are common. Typically, large apartment towers require underground parking that goes 50 feet deep or deeper. As a consequence, layer after layer of sediments, representing multiple transgressions and regressions of the sea that are a result of glacial ice fluctuations, can be viewed. These layers of sediments frequently contain a wealth of fossil shells. BFSA scientists were able to distinguish and separate shell faunas at these and other downtown projects; as a result, the chronologic order of middle to late Pleistocene sea level advances and withdrawals can be interpreted with greater ease and precision within the layers of sediments that are encountered. Headed by Dr. Kennedy of BFSA, the results from these projects were published in a report for the Western Society of Malacologists. This report continues to influence the BFSA monitoring staff and serves the scientific community of San Diego at large as a valuable, subsurface guide for subsequent downtown projects.
Salt Creek Flood Control Channel Project, Stage 6, Riverside County
The Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District retained BFSA to fulfill CEQA requirements for the channelization of a natural drainage. Stage 6 involved grading and excavation activities for a three-mile segment of the Salt Creek Channel roughly between Menifee and Diamond Valley Lake. The bones and teeth of large Ice Age mammals were recovered, including those of giant ground sloth, black bear, horse, camel, two species of bison, and numerous unidentifiable bones. Additionally, the milk tooth of a young mastodon was recovered, as well as a partial skeleton of a mammoth that included a 4.5-foot-long tusk. The condition of the bones suggests that animals trampled the mammoth skeleton before its burial. Wet screening techniques yielded a species of freshwater or land snail. These localities are partly correlative with the rich vertebrate faunas of the Domenigoni Valley just to the east, and serve to add additional information to reconstruct the animal populations of southern California during the Pleistocene.
4S Ranch Project, San Diego County
The 4S Ranch Project involved over 2.6 square miles for the construction of a new residential community between Escondido and Black Mountain along the west side of Interstate 15, in unincorporated San Diego County. Draft and final EIRs were prepared under CEQA requirements, outlining the need for a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program to reduce potential impacts to fossil resources. BFSA met the challenge to satisfy this task, which involved the unraveling of the complex geologic relationships of interfingering marine and nonmarine stratigraphy, collecting very small to extraordinarily large fossils, managing multiple field crews, and recruiting top scientists and specialists to analyze the specimens. The detailed geology of this area of the county, while broadly known, was poorly understood before the project was initiated. After eight years of monitoring, a wealth of Eocene floras and faunas were revealed, including the fossilized remains of leaves from a variety of plants and trees, bivalve and gastropod mollusks, fish and rays, crocodiles, soft- and hard-shelled turtles, snakes, wading birds, lemur-like primates, rodents, carnivores, tapirs, brontotheres, rhinoceros, and other primitive hoofed mammals. A 48-foot-long log of petrified wood and new species of freshwater algae and land snail were also found. This project remains one of the most scientifically important projects undertaken by BFSA, as the value of the collection underscores interpretations of the region's climatic and biotic record 45 million years ago.
Lake Forest Sports Park Project, City of Lake Forest
The City of Lake Forest proposed a new sports and recreation complex on a 90-acre parcel that included the construction of six baseball/softball fields, up to five soccer fields, playgrounds, hard courts, an amphitheater, and a 30,000-square-foot recreation center. Under CEQA, the City of Lake Forest's EIR identified potential impacts to fossil resources likely present at the site. BFSA was retained by the City to fulfill the requirements specified by the EIR to mitigate potential impacts to fossil resources. At stake was the six-million-year-old Oso Member of the late Miocene Capristrano Formation, one of the most fossiliferous geologic units in coastal southern California, which is famous for yielding the well-preserved remains of a variety of extinct whales, sea cows, pinnipeds, fish, and sharks. Extensive mass grading for future playing fields and sports facilities exposed over a hundred feet of sandstone stratigraphy. As a result, 98 fossil localities were recovered, mostly by plaster-and-burlap methods, and are represented by more than 150 bones and teeth of past marine life. These include bones from right whales, rorqual whales, pygmy baleen whales (considered rare), sperm whales, sea cows, flounders, and saber-toothed salmon, as well as, unusually, the leg bone of a camel.
Imperial Landfill Expansion Project, Imperial County
BFSA was contracted to fulfill Conditional Use Permit measures and Final EIR requirements under CEQA that required a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program to reduce potential impacts to paleontological resources to less than significant at an active landfill north of El Centro in Imperial Valley, California. Paleontological monitoring by BFSA staff during grading activities at the Imperial Landfill Expansion Project resulted in a diverse collection of early Holocene remains of small to microscopic animals that once inhabited the waters of ancient Lake Cahuilla. Using wet-sieving techniques, small to tiny freshwater snails, such as Physella humerosa, Tryonia protea, and Pyrgulopsis longinqua were recovered, along with microscopic ostrocod valves (bivalved crustaceans), throat-teeth of a fish known as the bonytail chub, and gyrogonites (reproductive growths) of calcareous alga. The pearly shells of the California floater (Anodonta californiensis), a two-inch-long freshwater mussel, were collected from what were their living positions, having died there many thousands of years ago.

I normally like to mount a share after logging in, only when needed. After fighting with mount.cifs after every update that came down, I finally gave in to fstab. This tutorial goes over how I decided to mount my share at boot. There are many options to choose from when mounting a share, these worked best for me at the time of this tutorial.
Additional information can be found at samba.org or the Ubuntu Community.
After updating my kernel to 2.6.35-23-generic, the terminal informed me that smbfs would be dropped from future kernel releases. To fix this, we just need to change the entry in /etc/fstab to use cifs.


Aurora is a world-class ship, bringing the joys of classic cruise travel to all.
Following guest feedback, we will be making Aurora exclusively for adults in spring 2019 from cruise R905 onwards. She will remain family-friendly up until her March 2019 refit, giving guests more opportunities to create those unforgettable holiday memories.
Here, we shine the spotlight on Aurora to discover what makes her special and where she's heading this year.
Aurora is a true world traveller, making calls in the Mediterranean, the Baltic and Norwegian fjords, the Canary Islands, and Canada and the USA.
Aurora offers so much to do, whatever you're into. Make the most of your sea days and take part in a plethora of on-board activities including guest speakers, yoga and Pilates, or dance, art and language classes. If you're the sporting type, head to the sun deck to play basketball, cricket, football and more.
For the ultimate in relaxation, visit the Oasis Spa. Unwind in the sauna and steam rooms, bliss out with a hot stone massage, or treat yourself to a manicure and pedicure ahead of a glamorous night out.
Until spring 2019, Aurora will be a family-friendly ship. Children are well catered for at the children's club – the place to be for under-18s. The club is split into age-specific groups and run by our enthusiastic Reef rangers, who keep children and teens entertained with a whole host of exciting activities throughout the day and evening, giving them a chance to make friends their own age. There's also a night nursery for wee ones, meaning mum and dad can enjoy a night out.
Aurora's incredible Atrium is the heart of the ship. Designed in a classic galleried style, it spans four decks and is dominated by a 35-foot sculpture by artist John Mills, which provides an impressive backdrop to the elegant double main staircase. A veil of water surrounds the two mythical figures cast in resin.
In the inviting Crystal Pool, you can enjoy a stylish environment whatever the weather thanks to the clear glass Skydome overhead, which keeps out the chilly breezes while letting the warm sunshine in. The pool has two adjoining hot tubs, as well as a bar.
At 105 feet above the waterline, The Crow's Nest cocktail bar offers the best views on the ship. By day, sit back and watch the scenery float by. At night, the bar comes into its own: grab a cocktail and look back on the day's events as the sun goes down.
Guests are spoilt for choice on Aurora with two main restaurants, as well as three Select Dining venues: Sindhu, where Indian cuisine is showcased in spectacular style; The Glass House, a wine bar and restaurant created in partnership with award-winning wine guru Olly Smith; and The Beach House, which offers fun and informal dining alongside ocean views.
There are also a number of casual dining options, from the delectable snacks at Anderson's bar to the sheer variety on offer at the Horizon buffet. Feeling peckish by the pool? Grab a snack from Lido Grill, or indulge in a tub of Jude's ice cream.
When it comes to entertainment, there's never a dull moment on Aurora. At the lavish 652-seat Curzon Theatre, you can enjoy cabaret performances, stand-up comedy, interactive game shows, quizzes and talent shows. The Playhouse Cinema screens feature films throughout the day and into the evening and also acts as the venue for classical recitals, lectures, port enhancement talks and much more. Carmen's show lounge features spectacular cabaret performances, fun quiz shows, tribute acts, family shows and glittering discos.
Children can expect a bumper programme of their own dedicated events. There are fully supervised discos, karaoke, or for something a little more chilled, they can sink into a beanbag and watch a movie.
Aurora offers a full schedule of port calls in fabulous destinations all over the globe. Throughout the year, she soaks up the sun in Mediterranean gems such as Italy, Spain, Croatia and Greece, as well as the Canary Islands and Portugal. This month, she's on a sunny tour of Portugal, the Caribbean and the Azores, where she'll visit ports such as Madeira, St Kitts, Martinique and Praia da Vitória.
She also sails to spots a little closer to home, such as Belgium, Guernsey and the Netherlands. Her three-night Short Break to Bruges and St Peter Port in May is the perfect introduction to cruising.
Aurora spends part of the year visiting a number of exciting northern destinations, including the Baltic, Scandinavia and Russia, and the Norwegian fjords. A 14-night cruise in August and September visits ports such as Helsinki, St Petersburg and Tallinn, while a 12-night Norway and Northern Lights cruise in November and December gives you the chance to see the aurora borealis in all its glory.
In autumn, Aurora crosses the Atlantic to visit the USA and Canada. From the bright lights of New York City to the colourful foliage of Quebec City, this cruise offers culture and natural beauty in equal measure.
In January next year, Aurora will set sail on an epic adventure to the Amazon, Caribbean and Central America. This 55-night odyssey is the perfect way to beat the winter blues, taking in 23 sunny ports including St Vincent, Barbados, Belize and Cozumel.

"Home Depot's Q4 Same-Store Sales Up 4.9% in U.S.; Up 7.5% for Year (Strongest in 14 Years)" "The Home Depot today reported that comparable store sales for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 increased 4.4 percent, and comp sales for U.S. stores were positive 4.9 percent. Total sales for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 were $17.7 billion, a 3.0 percent decrease from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012." Read the release
CNBC's take: "Home Depot 4Q mixed, boosts quarterly dividend" "Home Depot's fiscal fourth-quarter net income dipped 1 percent, hampered by bad winter weather and one less week in the period. Still, its earnings topped Wall Street's view, and the No. 1 home improvement-retailer raised its quarterly dividend by 21 percent. It provided a fiscal 2014 earnings forecast below analysts' expectations." Read more
"Wal-Mart's Mexico Division to Spend $1.1 Billion to Expand Chain" by Lauren Coleman-Lochner at Bloomberg. "The company expects to spend 8.4 billion pesos opening stores, adding 3.7 million square feet of space, according to a statement yesterday. Mexican floor space will grow 5 percent, with Central American stores expanding 7.6 percent." Read more
Walmart's David Cheesewright, CEO Int'l: "We're seeing economies under stress pretty much everywhere we operate." by Amy Guthrie at MarketWatch. "Wal-Mart represented 32% of sales at Mexican brick-and-mortar retail establishments last year, according to company data and to Mexican retail association Antad. Euromonitor International estimates that the company accounts for at least 19% of Mexican grocery sales, including those at convenience stores." Read more
NY Times: "Target Push Into Canada Stumbles" by Ian Austen. "Perhaps the most surprising thing about several Target stores visited over a three-week period was the large number of empty shelves and clothing racks…several analysts suggest that the company may also have problems with its supply chain management system. Differences in Canadian packaging laws, protectionist tariffs on some foods and exclusive wholesale arrangements mean that the Canadian stores cannot be serviced from the company's American distribution network." Read more
"Target Reports Quarterly Results Tomorrow, First Time it Has Faced Wall Street Since Breach" at Reuters. "Target had originally planned to buy back up to $4 billion of shares this year, but analysts do not expect it to achieve that goal as it sets aside money to deal with the data breach and try not to borrow more so it can maintain its credit rating." Read more
"5% Chance that Kroger might be Interested in Safeway" by Alexander Coolidge at Cincy Enquirer. "Perkins guessed there was a 5 percent chance Kroger might be interested in Safeway. There are a host of problems with such an acquisition. One is that federal regulators likely would conduct an exhaustive antitrust review of a proposed marriage of the nation's No. 1 and No. 2 supermarket chains." Read more
"Hy-Vee Expands into the Twin Cities" by Mike Hughlett at Star-Tribune. "Hy-Vee is planning its first foray into the Twin Cities with four to six stores, a move that could shake up the grocery market here.

The company declined to give store location details, but it's currently working on one site in New Hope." Read more

This category was up at wholesale 11.2 percent. We added 137 new hardware stores in 2013, a combination of new ground up stores and conversions from other distributors." Read the release

"National Mourning for Dead Sears & Dead Kmart has Officially Begun" via @BrianSozzi. "There is one huge happening at Sears that nobody is talking about, except us at TheStreet. Unbeknownst to many, there has been an acceleration of store closures at both Sears and Kmart post holiday and BEFORE the company's recent loss per share report. No press releases have been issued. The Sears PR team has offered a boilerplate statement with little compassion to lost jobs from stores that have been staples of the community for 30+ years." See the video

These days I just can't seem to say what I mean. I just can't. Every time I try to say something, it misses the point. Either that or I end up saying the opposite of what I mean. The more I try to get it right the more mixed up it gets. Sometimes I can't even remember what I was trying to say in the first place. It's like my body's split in two and one of me is chasing the other me around a big pillar. We're running circles around it. The other me has the right words, but I can never catch her.

Ashes 09: Sizing up the squad
Jarrod Kimber gives a run-down on the selections for this year's Ashes team.
Jarrod Kimber,
Sixteen healthy and hearty men have been picked to vanquish the English for this year's Ashes. While the squad has no real surprises, no one can believe that the selectors are taking a team with only six specialist batsmen in a squad of 16. With no spare batsmen travelling, Shane Watson with his Test batting average of 19 and his soft tissue made of fairy floss will be the only back up batsman.
This is all fine if the two debutants (Marcus North and Phillip Hughes) continue their South African form, no batsman gets injured and Michael Hussey suddenly relearns the art of making actual Test match runs. If by the Third Test Michael Hussey still hasn't found a run, is replaced by Watson, and in the warm up Michael Clarke trips a training ball (ala Glenn McGrath) Australia will find themselves with the worst top six for a long time. Watson at five, McDonald at six gives us a lot of options in the field, but will place Australia in a tough predicamnet once our third wicket falls.
The argument that there is no back up batsmen can't really be made: Brad Hodge, Callum Ferguson, Andrew Symonds, Chris Rogers, and Michael Klinger could have all filled that void based on either form, history or talent. The first three are all contracted Australian players, the second two the leading run scorers in Sheffield Shield cricket last year. Either Nathan Hauritz or Andrew McDonald could have made way without too many tears from supporters.
While the batsmen are not going to get injured or lose form, the one wicket keeper might, so Graham Manou was picked. He was the only player that sent English cricket journalists searching the internet to find out who the hell he was. In the old days he may have been a bolter, but with his shiny new Cricket Australia contract only a few weeks old his spot in the squad as Haddin's understudy was expected.
And then there's the bowlers: Bryce McGain took his name out of the ring by making his memorable debut. Brett Lee and Stuart Clark are now fit, so they will join the South Africa slayers of Mitchell Johnson, Peter Siddle and Ben Hilfenhaus. Being that the five of them might get tired, they have been sent a club spinner by the name of Nathan Hauritz. If you see Hauritz's name in the final XI that might be the time to back against your team because it means the quicks couldn't get the job done.
To round out our squad, pun intended, we have Shane Watson and Andrew McDonald as the all rounders. They are most probably fighting it out for the number eight slot, but if Australia go out and attack they should be carrying the drinks.
Andrew Symonds is obviously the biggest name to miss out on the squad, but Roy shouldn't be too worried, this Ashes tour goes on forever, and what are the chances that Shane Watson will last the whole tour? Brad Hodge shouldn't worry either; if Roy does go over there then anything could happen.
The final squad looks like this: Ricky Ponting (Captain), Michael Clarke (Vice-Captain), Stuart Clark, Brad Haddin, Nathan Hauritz, Ben Hilfenhaus, Phillip Hughes, Michael Hussey, Mitchell Johnson, Simon Katich, Brett Lee, Graham Manou, Andrew McDonald, Marcus North, Peter Siddle, Shane Watson.
Ashes 09


A fan-favorite from New York Times bestselling author Suzanne Brockmann, originally published in 1996.
He was the sexiest guy she'd ever met. And that was about all Jess Baxter knew about her newest tenant. Rob Carpenter was a master at dodging questions, and igniting her desires. With just one of his searing kisses, Jess was hotter than the Florida sun.
Then the murders started—all women who looked liked her. And the profile of the killer matched Rob.
Was he an innocent victim—or had his burning kisses only been a smoke screen?

Welkom orphan, 12, fights like a tigress against attack gang
The gang subjected the family to a rape and torture-ordeal lasting hours… yet they only looted R1,000 in cash and some cheap cellphones…
WELKOM. DOORN SMALLHOLDINGS –August 7 2010 - 'A twelve-year-old orphan girl who lives with her grandparents inside their homestead/tuck shop, fought like a tigress against an attack gang on Thursday night – and undoubtedly saved their lives, reports Volksblad journalist Tom de Wet.
The family name is not published to protect the identity of the aunt, who was gang-raped by the attackers. The SAPS and emergency services initially reported that the child had also been raped – however instead she was drugged by the gang after she had put up such a fierce fight.
The girl, her brother, 4 and sister, 2, are now in a place of safety where they are being treated for trauma and her grandparents are in hospital with multiple injuries caused by beatings and panga-attacks. Police have confiscated a powdery substance used to drug the child with.
The family's hours of hell started on Thursday-evening when at least three men, armed with a firearm, a panga and metal pipes, broke into the family's grocery shop, which is inside their house. The grandparents pleaded with the attackers to not injure them and the children – but the grandfather was tied up and brutally assaulted, and the grandmother pistol-whipped: SAPS spokesman Capt Stephen Thakeng said that while the attackers were inside the house the aunt, 25, and her friend had arrived from North West and ran right into the gang – the male friend was attacked with a panga and the aunt was forced into a room where she was gang-raped. The girl flew into a rage and assaulted the rapists, trying to drag them off the woman. She was side-handed and also was cut on a hand – but she kept on assaulting the men. The girl fought like a tigress to save her family: dragging her grandfather where he lay in a puddle of blood after he was hacked with a panga – covering up the injured old man with a blanket before she grabbed a kitchen-knife and storming towards the attackers again.
SAPS spokesman Capt Stephen Thakeng, said while the attackers were in the house the aunt and her friend had arrived from North West and ran right into the gang – the male friend was attacked with a panga and the aunt was forced into a room where she was gang-raped.
The gang's loot – after all this trouble – was a mere R1,000 (about $80 US) in cash, some cellphones and the grandparent's older-model car – which wasn't 'robbed' but merely 'borrowed' as it was later found abandoned alongside a school in Thabong township by SAPS warrant-officer David Scott from the Free State's K9 squad. The SAPS may be contacted about this matter via Capt Elmarie van der Merwe at 082-301-3075.

Deliberative Polling (DP) in Nsanje District, Malawi
The early days of the month of June (3rd and 4th 2017) saw the Malawi Deliberative Polling (DP) exercise take place in Nsanje District. The DP is an innovative citizens'consultative process that assesses the representative opinions of a population, both before and after it has had a good chance to thoroughly discuss challenges confronting their communities, and identifying appropriate solutions to them. The DP respondents in Malawi were from TA Ndamera (Upland) and TA Nyachikadza (low land). The DP exercise brought together a sample of 484 respondents, 254 respondents from TA Nyachikadza and 230 respondents from TA Ndamera. The event was graced by officials and traditional leaders including chiefs of the Traditional Authority (TA) Nyachikadza and Ndamera, officials from the Nsange District council, Ministry of Health, and Department of Disaster Management Affairs (DoDMA). This Deliberative Polling (DP) exercise was facilitated by a team from Stanford University under the leadership of Prof. James Fishkin, Professor of Communication and Political science at Stanford University. These worked closely with the RAN Southern Africa Resilience Innovation Lab (RILab) team and the network plus team in Malawi led by Prof. Lekan Oyo Yusuf and Dr. Donald Makoka as well as the RAN research officer Christine Muhumuza as the RANSec representative on the activity.
Issues of Deliberation
Flooding is a common phenomenon in Nsanje district, the DP study area. In TA Nyachikadza for example, flooding occurs every year. The community is affected by flooding almost on an annual basis, but most of the time the floods are not life threatening. Additionally, the community is surrounded by the Shire River to the east and Ndindi Marsh to the West. When the Shire river floods, it takes its water into the Ndindi Marsh, and the Nyachikadza community gets seriously affected. Since the population lives in an isolated place (equivalent to an island), when the flood waters attack, people have to be rescued using canoes and motorized boats. Often, by the time the boats arrive, a significant number of people and property has been washed away.
Serious flooding occurred in 1989, then 1997; 2001; and the most recent floods of 2015 were the worst. Flooding is becoming a more frequent hazard because of the high siltation of the Shire River. Following the floods of 1997, the Government of Malawi declared TA Nyachikadza a flood-prone area and prohibited any individual from establishing a settlement in the area. The community members however objected this decision and argued that they were not adequately consulted by the government to inform taking of such a decision. There are a number of ways in which flooding in TA Nyachikadza affects the community in TA Ndamera (upland). These include:
When it floods people from Nyachikadza relocate to make-shift camps, located in primary schools in TA Ndamera, thereby interrupting classes for weeks.
When they temporarily relocate to Ndamera, there are always serious problems with WASH facilities, leading to outbreaks of cholera and other associated diseases, which affect members of both communities.
When they temporarily relocate, there is great environmental damage, as people cut down trees to make temporary homes.
Additionally, there is usually an increase in crime, especially people stealing livestock as a result of relocation (as Nsanje is one of the leading livestock districts of Malawi).
There is a high risk of increased spread of HIV during the relocations.
The authority of traditional leaders gets disrupted, as members of different communities under the different leadership authorities 'fuse' and live together.
Therefore, the DP policy options in Malawi were categorized into three main themes namely; relocation and settlement, reduced vulnerability in the existing communities and population pressure, gender and social services. The event started with training of moderators, a pre-DP survey which was followed by the actual DP exercise and later the post DP survey to the same population. Below are some of the pictures from this exercise.

Gambler's Fallacy : Bad theory, poor mathematics, nonsense?
I bet you will like it too. To make those two distinct cases easy to understand, we use two scenarios, each with a bag of exactly marbles, 50 red and 50 blue. That concept can apply to multiple casino games, such as roulette and craps. Instead, the dice are exactly the same for your next roll as they were for your previous roll.

Hi Javier, thanks for taking the time to speak with us! First of all, could you tell us a bit about APROMAR?
APROMAR is the Spanish Professional Aquaculture Association. This organisation represents almost all aquaculture companies in Spain, both in marine and fresh waters. The species it covers are finfish like seabass, seabream, rainbow trout, turbot, meagre, sturgeon and others like sole. Molluscs like abalone and clams; crustaceans like shrimp; and both micro and macro algae.
APROMAR's objective is the sustainable development of aquaculture in Spain. To do this, it collaborates with public authorities, policy makers, trade unions, media, NGOs and researchers. APROMAR is also highly involved at international level with the European Commission, the European Parliament, the Federation of European Aquaculture Producers, FAO, IUCN and other relevant organisations.
APROMAR promotes aquaculture and its products through several ways. Every year we publish an annual report on the state of the industry in Spain and in the EU. Available at http://apromar.es/content/informes-anuales. And on the markets, we promote a successful quality brand named Crianza de Nuestros Mares: http://www.crianzadenuestrosmares.com/.
What is APROMAR's role in PerformFISH?
APROMAR leads the Spanish industry participation in this project. We are implicated both as a farmer's association and leading the participation of Spanish aquaculture companies that are involved as third parties.
As farmer's association we are involved in the Reinforcing of marketing (Work Package 5) on the analysis of the current state of the Spanish market, the analysis of consumer perception, and the identification of barriers. We will also work on building a Benchmarking System based on KPIs (Work Package 7) and on the development of a Code of Conduct and Best Practices. Finally, APROMAR will be involved in the dissemination of the project's results (Work Package 8).
Why did APROMAR get involved in the project?
APROMAR really believes in the PerformFISH project results as a way to improve seabass and seabream production competitiveness in the Mediterranean. In fact, we were involved in PerformFISH even before its inception. We have been part of the stakeholders that made the European (H2020) call become a reality by persuading the European Commission of the critical situation of stagnation, or even reversal, on the efficiency of seabass and seabream production in the Mediterranean.
How will PerformFISH benefit the Spanish sea bream and sea bass aquaculture industry?
By implementing the new tools and using the new knowledge generated within the PerformFISH project in the areas of selective breeding, juvenile quality, health, welfare, feeds and feeding technology, the Spanish seabream and seabass aquaculture industry will improve their competitiveness. Consumers of fish will take advantage of better fish on the markets, and fish farmers will benefit by driving aquaculture's performance through a sustainable Blue Growth.
Thank you very much for your time Javier!


Since he was our first child, I fully expected John-Paul to arrive late. He arrived one day early. Having a second child, I expected her to arrive even earlier, especially since at my 38 weeks appointment I was 3 centimeters dilated and 80% effaced (and I felt so much pressure from her sitting so low in my pelvis). But kids, they never quite do what you expect, am I right?
Mama Heidi/Mimi arrived on October 2 and was scheduled to leave the 10. As my due date approached and passed, I started to feel anxious about not having our little girl before my mom left. I knew there was nothing I could do about it! I knew it would all be ok! I knew worrying was useless and unproductive! But worriers gonna worry. I so wanted my mom to be here for the big moment (and for peace of mind that I could leave on a moment's notice and my mom would be here with JP). Trying to push the what-ifs out of my mind, Josh and Mama started taking me on frequent walks throughout the week, trying to get labor going.
What helped me the most is that I tried to remember that these moments with JP and Josh and Mom were precious and important. I didn't want to wish the time away.
Isn't his haircut ridiculously adorable? I digress.
After a day of contractions with no pattern or progression and lamenting "She's never going to come out!" and "Is there even a baby in there? Maybe it's just a watermelon?" and "I'm going to be the first human being to have a year long gestation!" labor kicked in. (I know. SO dramatic for a woman that is only ONE DAY past her due date. Mamas that go two weeks past their dates…bless ye.) I was just wrapping up some messages with Greta (Mod 7 forever) and it was about 8:45. My back started aching like it did when I was in early labor with JP. It was a slight shift, but I knew things were changing. Within the hour my contractions went from mild and 7 minutes apart to over 1 minute long and less than 3 minutes apart.
Beginning of contractions – still laughing with JP!
Mama timing my contractions and all of us realizing that this is getting really real really quickly.
I thought I'd labor at home for a long time, but at 10:10 Josh and I decided we didn't have time to spare. Our little lady decided to make haste! After what felt like the longest drive of my life, gripping the seats and trying to breathe as the contractions piled on top of one another…we arrived. After a very painful check in (why are you asking me all these questions right now?! Didn't we fill out a pre-admission form for a reason?!) we were taken in to triage…which is a whole thing in itself because I was going to the natural birth center within the hospital and because I was in active labor I shouldn't have gone to triage…but there we were. We waited for ten excruciating minutes as country music blared through the room (WHO CHOSE THIS MUSIC? NO ONE IS SOOTHED BY THIS). When a nurse finally asked "Is anyone helping you…?" we were assisted and the ball got rolling. I made it clear in no uncertain terms that I did NOT want to be checked and that I wanted to go over to Family Beginnings, stat. It was about 11pm when we got in the room, and I was already at a pain level that I wanted to hop into the tub for some hydrotherapy.
Birth is crazy because you cannot quit. No matter how badly it hurts or how you feel you can no longer go on, you have to. Your body spurs you on passed your perceived limitations. I think that's part of why birth, and in particular natural/low intervention birth, feel so empowering. Josh, Neva and Ashley (the nurse) all calmly told me I could do it and that I was close. I heard the same encouraging mantras over the course of three hours with JP, so I didn't believe them when they told me I was close. I said don't tell me that! I'm not close! Neva told me to reach down and feel the baby's head, but I didn't because another contraction came on. I don't know how long it was but I felt that "ring of fire" and knew I was pushing the baby's head through, and then the feeling of release and knowing her head was out. I paused in between the contractions. Knowing her head was out, I expected to hear her cry, but that's not the case! With the next couple contractions her shoulders and body came through and then that beautiful scream of new life.
They placed her directly on my chest and allowed her cord to stop pulsing before Josh cut it. If I remember correctly, I kept announcing, "She's here! She's here! I can't believe she's here!" You dream about this little person for so long and then they come crashing into your world…naked, screaming and precious.
All in all, Abby's birth took about 4 1/2 hours. After which we enjoyed a magical hour with our girl. At Family Beginnings, they encourage immediate skin to skin bonding between mama and baby. They do not take the baby away to measure or clean before you've had time to bond and try breastfeeding. When they do the measurements, they do it right next to your bedside and never take the baby out of the room. Additionally, you get to stay in your room that has a nice big bed and recover. No getting shuffled around and there's plenty of room for daddy to sleep comfortably as well. Instead of sending the baby to a nursery, the baby sleeps in a co-sleeper bassinet right along side the bed. Family Beginnings truly helped us have the birth we desired (with the peace of mind that we could be taken down the hall to regular L&D/NICU if any complications came up!).
Having kids is challenging. Some days are really hard. When people ask me about motherhood, I try to paint a realistic picture because I don't want to romanticize and create unrealistic expectations for new moms out there. Some people have said "you make motherhood sound awful!" But motherhood is alot like this birth story or any birth story. It's a labor of love. Labor means WORK. Motherhood is hard work and some days are downright painful. But look at the joy and the love we receive. Look at that precious face! Look at that unique, unrepeatable body and soul that God entrusts to us. No matter how hard it is, no matter how much I pour out…I've already received much more than I could ever give.
Abigail Esther Dill, you are a joy, daughter! We are so glad you're here. Welcome to the family!
Beautiful pictures and writing Ashlie! Abigal is adorable. Best wishes!
Congratulations, Ashlie and Josh and JP!
I am so happy for you that you got the birth you hoped for! I know about back labor and I'm sorry you struggle with it too. Having your mother there must have been so wonderful! Well do I remember those precious days with your family before a new baby joins the family! Congratulations on the birth of your sweet Abigail.
I enjoyed reading your story. It has been over 16 years since I gave birth to my youngest at home. Your description was so reminiscent of my experience I went back in time. I just want to say, Well done Ashlie!!!!

UPS falls short of forecasts on bad weather, costs
By: Associated Press April 25, 2019 0

DALLAS – United Parcel Service Inc. reported Thursday that first-quarter profit fell 17% as revenue was flat from a year ago and the package-delivery company ran into higher spending to cope with a series of winter storms.
The results fell short of Wall Street expectations, and the shares tumbled in midday trading.
UPS has been working to upgrade its network as the growth of online shopping puts more pressure on delivery speed. Both ground and air shipping volumes grew during the first quarter, partly on high demand for faster delivery options.
Meeting that growth comes at a cost, however. UPS took a $123 million charge in the quarter for spending on its "transformation" plan to automate some operations and open new facilities.
UPS forecast that second-quarter earnings per share would be flat with the same period last year because of pension-financing costs. But it cited those new, more highly automated sorting hubs for reason to stand by its forecast of full-year earnings between $7.45 and $7.52 per share. Analysts expect $7.52 per share, according to FactSet.
Last year almost all the company's new facilities opened in the fourth quarter, but this year 30% will be in the second quarter – soon enough to boost earnings in the second half, executives said.
Pinning so much of the full-year guidance on the second half of the year "will likely not resonate well with investors" because it is "placing increasing risk on the always challenging holiday quarter," Citi analyst Christian Wetherbee wrote in a note to clients.
Atlanta-based UPS said it earned $1.11 billion in the first quarter. Earnings adjusted to exclude transformation spending were $1.39 per share, compared with the average analyst forecast of $1.42 per share.
Revenue was flat at $17.16 billion, and below the analysts' prediction of $17.77 billion.
Operating profit in UPS' domestic shipping business dropped $90 million or 12% despite a 2.5% increase in revenue. The company said $80 million of the decline was due to bad weather.
UPS is targeting online shopping, health care and small businesses in a bid to boost its U.S. operation.
Overseas, operating profit fell 11% on 2% less revenue. Chairman and CEO David Abney said uncertainty amid trade tension between the U.S. and China was leading to "softer industry forecasts in the region," and the company is assuming that global economic growth will be slower than last year, another drag on the package-delivery business.

The number of tourists visiting the German capital has increased by three percent in the first quarter of 2017. At the same time, the number of overnight stays has decreased. The neighbor city of Potsdam feels the positive impact of Berlin's tourism boom.
In the first three months of 2017, Berlin accommodation providers reported more arriving guests than in the same period last year.
The Berlin-Brandenburg Statistical Office reported that the number of tourist arrivals rose by 3 percent to approximately 2.7 million. On the other hand, the number of overnight stays fell by 0.3 percent to 6.3 million. This includes 2.8 million overnight stays by foreign guests. The data represent an increase of 0.5 percent compared to the previous year. The average length of stays is 2.3 days.
The number of tourists in Berlin who came from Germany, the domestic travelers, reached 1.6 million, which was the biggest group of visitors. Other important source markets included UK (140 thousand visitors), Italy (79 thousand visitors), and Spain (67 thousand visitors).
The largest percentage losses compared to last year were recorded with respect to Danish guests (-21.4%), Swiss visitors (-8.4), and Dutch visitors (-1.9%).
Even Potsdam, the city that directly borders Berlin, benefits from the tourism boom in the capital. According to Potsdam's economic sponsor Stefan Frerichs, during the summer months, many hotels in the city are fully booked. For years, interest in the city has been increasing among tourists and Berlin is now of big help. Tourists are interested not only in the capital but in the surroundings as well.
In 2016, Potsdam reported 1,139,000 overnight stays which was a record value. For the fifth time, the number of overnight stays exceeded the one million mark. On average, the guests stayed in Potsdam for 2.4 days.
One of the biggest tourism magnets of Potsdam is the Museum Barberini, an art museum rebuilt on the site of the Barberini Palace, destroyed by bombing in 1945. The museum was reopened in January 2017 and already has become a popular attraction.

How to Use Gmail's Keyboard Shortcuts & Create Custom Shortcuts
Chris Hoffman @chrisbhoffman
May 11, 2012, 6:00am EDT
To become a Gmail power user, you'll need to master Gmail's keyboard shortcuts. Keyboard shortcuts allow you to speed through your mail faster than you can click. Gmail even lets you create custom keyboard shortcuts.
Gmail's keyboard shortcuts aren't enabled by default and don't appear when you hover over interface elements, so you won't find them yourself unless you explore Gmail's settings. This guide will get you up and running quick.
Enabling Keyboard Shortcuts
To enable keyboard shortcuts, pull up Gmail's settings page from the gear menu.
Select the "Keyboard shortcuts on" option on the General pane, and then click the Save Changes button at the bottom of the page.
You can also just click this link to automatically enable keyboard shortcuts.
Press Shift–? to view the built-in cheat sheet after enabling keyboard shortcuts. You can also consult Google's list of Gmail keyboard shortcuts.
This cheat sheet is overwhelming to start with, so here are some important ones to get you started.
k / j – Goes to a newer or older conversation. This is equivalent to clicking the arrow-button-shaped Newer or Older buttons at the top right corner of each Gmail conversation.
p / n – Selects the previous or next message in a conversation. Press the Enter button to expand the message.
Use keyboard shortcuts to quickly perform actions within conversations:
e – Archive
r – Reply
a – Reply All
f – Forward
Once you've written an email, press Tab and Enter to send it.
You can perform most Gmail actions with keyboard shortcuts, including making a phone call (g then p). Consult the cheat sheet for the keyboard shortcuts you need.
Custom Keyboard Shortcuts
You aren't restricted to the built-in keyboard shortcuts. Enable the Custom keyboard shortcuts lab to customize Gmail's keyboard shortcuts and add your own. (Bear in mind that this is a labs feature and, like all labs features, may disappear at any time.)
You'll find the Custom keyboard shortcuts lab on the Labs tab in Gmail's settings. Enable the lab and click the Save Changes button to activate it.
The lab adds a new tab to Gmail's Settings page. From the tab, you can define alternate shortcut keys for the included functions or change the default keyboard shortcuts.
To disable your custom keyboard shortcuts, click the Restore Defaults link at the bottom of the Keyboard Shortcuts pane. You can also disable the Custom keyboard shortcuts lab from the Labs page.
Wondering why Gmail uses j and k for the previous and next message shortcuts? These keyboard shortcuts originated in the Vi text editor for UNIX.
