Want the best supplements and foods to prevent colon cancer?
What about Imunotherapy cancer treatment to heal what causes colon cancer?
The good news is that colon cancer rates can easily be substantially reduced, according to medical researchers.
Not just with supplements and with foods to prevent colon cancer, but for treatment for those who already have colon cancer.
...you can now vastly improve your odds as you undergo chemotherapy and radiation treatments, even if you are dealing with metastases!
But they also suggest to take vitamin D as therapy to STOP cancer cells from proliferating and to keep tumors under better control!
You oncologist does not advise your on supplements and foods to prevent colon cancer?
Dr. Garland, of the University of California, showed a clear link between blood levels of vitamin D and the odds of developing colon cancer as well as breast cancer.
Dr. Garland says that a proper dosage of vitamin D vitamin would reduce the total number of people on this continent contracting prostate cancer and breast by more than 100,000 per year!
About 3,000 studies have been published in the medical literature looking for links between vitamin D3 and all types of cancer, and most have found that vitamin D3 plays a beneficial role.
Which types of cancer especially?
For prostate cancer it is more associated to AGGRESSIVE forms of prostate cancer.
Dr. Garland's study is one of the most detailed ever to link blood levels of vitamin D3 and the chances of getting either breast cancer or colon cancer in the future.
Why add Alternative Cancer Cures to Your Treatment?
Scientists say that vitamin D3 both prevent cancers and slow down their development.
Researchers found that normal cells adhere to one another in your tissues when there is a good supply of vitamin D.
They speculate that without enough vitamin D3, cells may lose this "stickiness" along with their identity as differentiated cells, and revert to a stem cell-like state, that eventually turn into tumors.
"The first event in cancer is loss of communication among cells due to, among other things, low vitamin D and calcium levels," according to epidemiologist Dr Garland.
That news alone should get us out into the sunshine more often.
However, even many people who live in sunny climates like Australia, Hawaii and Florida are not getting enough vitamin D for prevention.
Researchers like Dr. Garland, and vitamin D experts such as Dr. Reinhold Vieth at the University of Toronto, say that supplements can restore protective vitamin D levels .
Vitamin D levels can be increased by what is now considered "modest supplementation" with vitamin D3 in the range of 2000 IU/day, according to Dr. Garland.
Best of Foods That Prevent Colon Cancer?
Best of foods to prevent colon cancer?
We don't usually think of yogurt as one of the foods that prevent colon cancer, but Dr. Garland's research shows that low levels of vitamin D and calcium go hand in hand.
Many studies show a beneficial effect of vitamin D and calcium on cancer risk and survival of patients with breast, colorectal and prostate cancer.
Dr. Garland's research now suggests that the cellular disruption caused by these low levels could account for the earliest stages of many cancers!
"play a key role in cancer by disrupting the communication between cells that is essential to healthy cell turnover, allowing more aggressive cancer cells to take over."
Yogurt is one of the best calcium-rich foods - easily absorbed calcium, and by adding friendly bacteria to the gut, is among the best foods to prevent colon cancer.
Immunotherapy cancer treatment is becoming better known because with immunotherapy, because it is doubling and tripling survival rates.
Although doctors in the past have told their patients not to take vitamins or vitamin supplements during their your cancer treatment, this may be changing. Why?
This caution against taking vitamins is based on several studies showing that vitamin C could actually feed tumors.
However, many scientists are now suggesting that Vitamin D3 has anti cancer properties that affect every cell of the body, and that this vitamin should be taken both before and during treatments, especially for both breast and colon cancer.
There is evidence that vitamin D3 can be used as therapy, in that at any point in the development of cancer, at its initial site, or even after it spreads in a process known as metastasis, that vitamin D is able to coax cells back into proper behavior.
Those who are recommending Vitamin D3 say it may stop cells from proliferating into full-blown tumors, or keep tumors under better control.
Given that the price of a year's supply of vitamin D3 is not much more than $30 USD, whats' not to try as an alternative cancer cure?
Want extra assurance during radiation and chemotherapy immune system help?
You may want a clinically tried supplement for immune system strength for your treatment.
Immunotherapy proteins clinically shown to "optomize the immune system."
Reports from others with colon cancer who have recovered from serious cancers by adding immunotherapy proteins.
Chemotherapy immune system help for fewer radiation and chemo side effects and faster recovery.
We hope that you have been inspired to add foods to prevent colon cancer such as yogurt, and vitamin D supplements to your regime!
Colon cancer is still a reality. For both men and women, colon cancer is still the third most commonly diagnosed cancer!
What else causes colon cancer?
Many studies show that meat and fats play a role in colon cancer development.
Eat less red meat -- especially less deli meat with fats and additives, and increase fiber rich foods like broccoli.
Soluble fiber especially, in foods like lentils and beans -- navy beans and kidney beans.
What's the missing link for you?
Experts who are recommending Vitamin D3 say it may stop cells from proliferating into full-blown tumors, or keep tumors under better control.
And by adding the best supplements for immune system strength, you can vastly improve your odds when undergoing chemotherapy and radiation treatments, even with metastases.
That's very good news both as an alternative cancer cure and how to prevent colon cancer, for all of us!

Flashback: The Story Behind C+C Music Factory's "Gonna Make You Sweat"
CHART REWIND. WelcheMusic takes a trip down memory lane and honors C+C Music Factory in this blog post. "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)" was initially released back in 1990, but didn't break until 1991. It eventually became a Billboard Hot 100 No.1, and reached the top spot in Austria, Germany and Switzerland. The track peaked at No.5 in Sweden.
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCTBD4ZWuRM
The men behind the C's were actually producers David Cole and Robert Clivillés. Little did they know about the controversy that they were going to cause. Vocalist Martha Wash was replaced in the video by Zelma Davis. Let's just say that one looks like a supermodel, the other doesn't. Wash was one of the members of The Weather Girls ("It's Raining Men") and this wasn't the first time she was replaced by a model. Back in 1989, Italian Katherine Quinol fronted Black Box on hits such as "Everybody Everybody" and "I Don't Know Anybody Else." It's important to stress that she did not sing the vocals on "Ride on Time," which was based on Loleatta Holloway's "Love Sensation."
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehib674Fg4U
"Gonna Make you Sweat" did not only launched the career of C+C Music Factory, it also made the producers the talk of the town. In 1992, the team produced Whitney Houston's Chaka Khan cover "I'm Every Woman" from The Bodyguard and they also produced Mariah Carey's "Anytime You Need a Friend" and "Now that I Know." Throughout their career they produced artists such as Aretha Franklin, James Brown and Deborah Cooper.
The track was followed by "Here We Go (Let's Rock'N'Roll)" and "Things That Make You Go Hmmm…" Sadly, David Cole passed away in 1995, only 32 years old. Cole's death inspired Mariah Carey to record "One Sweet Day" with soul group Boyz II Men.

Hiroshima mon amour (92min)
February 18, 2017 - 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM
Directed by Alain Resnais. Written by Marguerite Duras.
With Emanuelle Riva, Eiji Okada
Does the night never end in Hiroshima? …
Hailed as a landmark of modernist cinema, Hiroshima mon amour startled the film world with a new kind of cinematic language that blurred memory and time in a way accomplished earlier only in literature. Set in the city of its title, the film tells of the brief love affair of a French actress and a Japanese architect, both haunted by what happened in Hiiroshima during and after World War II. Released in 1959, it remains a work of striking originality, defined by unforgettable visual imagery, poetic voice-over and revelatory editing.

the [RETIRED] diary of a Prison Abolitionist: Government Propaganda. Don't trust this man.
Despite a rising population and other factors that generally drive up the crime rate, Maricopa County has experienced a dramatic decrease in both crime and illegal immigration. These clear trends are occurring county-wide, and reveal the impact of both effective collaboration among law enforcement agencies and tough and visionary prosecution policies in the County Attorney's Office.
The crime rate per 100,000 people in Maricopa CountyMaricopa County dropped 8% and the property crime rate fell 21%. This decline occurred even though the county's population actually grew by just under 11 percent during the same period.
This dramatic success story runs contrary to conventional wisdom among criminologists. I attribute these trends to three major factors. First, police agencies are using current technology and tactics to effectively address specific crime problems in their areas. There has also been enhanced coordination with the County Attorney's Office. One example is the identity theft protocol signed by Valley police agencies in 2005, an agreement to investigate identity theft cases that my office brokered.
Second, decreased 8% from 2007 to 2008 and 18% from 2004 to 2008. During this same period, the violent crime rate in because of tougher policies in the County Attorney's Office, prosecutors are sending significantly more serious and repeat felons to prison. From 2004 to 2008, the number of criminals in Maricopa County sent to the Department of Corrections increased 29.3%.
Third, the joint crackdowns on illegal immigration with the Sheriff's Office have led to an unprecedented collapse in the illegal immigration population. The Center for Immigration Studies recently released a report showing that since 2007, Arizona has seen a 30% drop in its illegal immigrant population. This finding is consistent with substantial anecdotal evidence of declining illegal-immigrant populations during that same time, many of which were reported by the local media (such as declining school enrollment numbers, the shuttering of businesses that largely catered to illegal immigrants, etc.). Nationally the amount of decrease in the illegal-immigrant population was 14% according to the CIS report.
The Phoenix Business Journal analyzed recent data on illegal immigration in the Valley and, on July 30, reported: "A marked drop in Phoenix-area crime coincides with the recession and a drop in the number of illegal immigrants in Arizona."
On April 13, 2009, The Wall Street Journal reported that illegal immigration and Mexican drug cartels are a driving force behind auto theft nationally, and that border cities are the hardest hit. Yet the auto-theft rate in the Valley fell by 38% between 2006 and 2008, according to the National Insurance Crime Bureau.
Plead to the Lead: Implemented in 2005, this policy requires that adults charged with serious violent offenses such as first-degree murder, drive-by shooting, or sexual assault plead to the most serious crime they are charged with as part of any plea agreement or go to trial.
Dangerous Crimes Against Children Policy - Implemented in 2006, this policy requires adults who commit certain crimes against children receive substantial prison time. For cases in which the defendant faces the mandatory minimum sentence of 35 years, the plea offer must require at least 35 years in prison.
Repetitive and R.O.P. Offenders - This policy was intensified in 2007 to ensure that offenders with even one previous felony conviction go to prison, rather than receiving probation.
Gang Offenders - Plea agreements concerning gang crimes were toughened in 2008. For example, if a defendant is a documented gang member possessing a firearm during the commission of a crime as part of his participation in a criminal syndicate, prison time must be part of the plea agreement.
Illegal Immigration Crackdowns - Sheriff Joe Arpaio and I have led the nation's toughest crackdowns on illegal immigration. These have included enforcement of the state human-smuggling law against both smugglers and illegal immigrants and workplace raids and prosecutions related to the Legal Arizona Workers Act.
These policies have had a direct impact on the number of criminals Maricopa County has sent to the state prison system. In 2005, that figure was 10,733. The next year it climbed to 12,363. In 2008, that number rose further to 13, 386.
The numbers speak for themselves. Tough policies against crime and illegal immigration do work. The lesson is obvious: more time, less crime.
*Well bully for Andrew Thomas putting all those awful criminals away. Why do you think he prosecutes the innocent, too? The Illegal Immigration Journal this editorial came from is sponsored by Andrew Thomas' Office as a constituent service. Sure looks like campaign material to me, though. "More Time, Less Crime". Yep. That could be his next bumper sticker.


I was worried what they might do with a season 2 of this but that trailer looks fantastic. Now I really hope it can live up to it. Thanks for sharing.
I loved the first season of this show. It reminded me of all the old 80s and 90s movies I watched growing up and in the end end has become one of my all time favourite TV series.
This trailer looks very solid. I can't wait to see where this goes!
I haven't seen the trailer so thanks for sharing! I'm so looking forward to season 2 & I loved the Vincent Price voice-over!
Yes, yes, and YES! My sister and I watched this last night with jaws dropped the entire time!
My sister and I watched this with jaws dropped last night. Like Raistlin, I couldn't be more excited for this!
That is brilliant! I can't wait for this!
Haha, I can't either. Luckily it is "only" three months that we have to wait for this. (Hmm, this sounded better in my head lol). Seriously though, I am really looking forward to this. The trailer looks simply amazing, and it looks like this season might even be better than the first one (which I think is impossible 😂).
You're right! By the way, what is written on the road sign on 0:38 in the trailer? Can you decipher it?
This is how blogging works!
A friend of mine is very fond of this series. Good luck with s2!
That trailer is awesome. The inclusion of Thriller just pushes it over the top!

Florida faces stiff economic headwinds as a result of climate change, including much hotter temperatures that could drive energy demand up by more than 21 percent, according to a sweeping new report released today by a bipartisan team of former U.S. officials.
The report, Risky Business: The Economic Risks of Climate Change in the United States, takes a look at economic climate change impacts at the local, state and regional level. It predicts that Florida could see average summer temperatures rising between 1.3 to 2.5 degrees over the next 25 years, with up to 32 days per year on average over 95 degrees. The current average is seven days.
By 2050, between $15 billion and $23 billion worth of existing property in Florida will be underwater, the report projects.
The analysis was prepared by The Risky Business Project, whose members include George W. Bush's former Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, and Thomas Steyer, former Senior Managing Member of Farallon Capital Management. Click here to download the report.
MAY GLOBAL TEMPS: It was the warmest May worldwide, combining land and sea temperatures, since records began in 1880, the National Climatic Data Center reported. It was also the 39th consecutive May with temperatures above the 20th century average — the last below average May occurred way back in 1976.
The NCDC analysis noted that data from China didn't arrive in time for inclusion in the report and so temperature information was estimated.
Most of Europe, Africa, South Korea and Australia had warmer than normal temperatures, while harsh drought conditions gripped parts of the U.S. and northern South America.
Arctic sea ice was 4.6 percent below the 1981-2010 average, making it the third-smallest sea ice coverage since records began in 1979. On the flip side, May 2014 sea ice coverage was 11.5 percent above the 30-year average, making it the largest May sea ice coverage on record.


I completely dislike encountering crossbills. They are terribly frustrating birds. The birds themselves I love dearly, but they are a pain to come across out in the field. Because quite frankly, they might just be the worst when it comes to conducting field identifcation. Which is what birding is often, if not mostly, about. When I write about dislike and frustration, I am not talking about the uncertainties of species limits in that particular group, about the different call types and their invasions and what challenges these bring to a birder's work. Yes, I fully support any and all efforts of splitting the crossbills into as many species as the call-types may merit, and will proudly call out "the more the merrier!" in any discussion about crossbill taxonomy. I will even go so far as to state that birders should rejoice that calls are the only (near-)definite way of identifying the different forms. Because calls are all we get from them – that's all they give us. And this is why I dislike encountering crossbills out in the field.
Germany is blessed with a single species of crossbill, the Red Crossbill Loxia recurvirostra. We do get two other species on rare occasions, with Parrot Crossbills from NE Europe usually showing up with a few observations each year and a Two-barred Crossbill (a species some call White-winged) once every couple of years. This vagrant potential is the reason why German birders really like to get to know each and every crossbill they encounter thoroughly, up close and personal. However, the crossbills have a very different idea of how best to associate with birders. While we love to see them perched in front of us, in a lateral view, to study bill shape and dimensions as well as extend and colour of wing bars, they mostly enjoy seeing us as blurry shades of colours somewhere far below amongst the conifers they're dashing by. You will see that there is very little overlap in our respective interests and ideas.
My most common type of encounter with crossbills follows this scheme: I walk through a forest with conifers. I hear calls – gyp gyp. I pause, thinking for a moment because I don't hear crossbills very frequently. Then it dawns upon me: crossbills! I look up trying to spot the flock. I fail because the tree tops are in the way. The calls fade away. This is probably the case in 50% of my crossbill observations. Another 40% follow the same routine, except that I catch a short glimpse of a couple of dark bodies in flight. The only details I am able to see allow me to exclude bats, model airplanes and US drones, and it is only through their calls that I am able to write down anything in my note book. Now, if I am really lucky I will walk through a forest, hear calls, think for a moment, identify them as crossbills, walk towards them and see them perched in a tree top! The distance will be considerable, the light will be bad, the birds will mostly be perched behind branches and the flock will eventually fly off in the opposite direction, out of sight, after 10 seconds or less. On very rare occasions, I'll be able to discern some colours, mostly green. Sometimes, I will even think that I might have seen some red. But since that is almost too good to be true, I will frequently assign it to wishful thinking.
Now our field guides tell us to check their bills: if the bills are rather strong (roughly as high as they are long), and if the tips are crossed but the tip of the lower mandible is not visible behind the upper mandible, and if the lower mandible's lower edge is strongly bent in an "s"-shape, you may very well have found a vagrant Parrot Crossbill. Now you tell me: in which of the scenarios listed above am I able to check these features?
You see, this is why any attempt at identifying crossbills is an exercise in futility. It is pointless, and thus frustrating as each encounter might mean you've just missed out on an opportunity to record an amazing vagrant for Germany. Hence my dislike for encountering crossbills in the first place, and my being enamoured with the call-type approach: if you hear calls in the forest, all you have to do is quickly record and then forget about them until you're home – no need to contemplate crappy viewing conditions and potentially missed vagrants. This is great! Sure, it is not what most birders enjoy doing out in the field, but think about the alternatives: would you rather have to cope with fine plumage differences or bill measurements to identify the different crossbill types? Seriously? I say recorded calls – as boring as I find this as a field method – is the lesser evil.
And then something strange happened just recently in the northern Black Forest. I had stopped near the summit "Schliffkopf", which is one of the Citril Finches's last haunts there, in particular to find Citril Finches. I get out of the car, walk around the hotel to the track where Citril Finches are sometimes found, and hear a call.
I check the sky to no avail and then notice a shape on top of a small pine.
By the barrel of Barrow, a perched crossbill, so close I can even discern its crossed bill tips! Thankfully in bad light or my entire world view would have been turned upside down.
Best. Crossbill. Ever. Luckily a rather drab juvenile and not a splendid adult male, or my entire world view would have… and so on.
A male – male – MALE – Red Crossbill taking a pine cone apart!
A quick check. That nerd ain't dangerous.
…but is out-competed by the male, even after it moves to a less than ideal branch.
By the time the images above were taken, I was so close that a better pair of binoculars would have allowed me to directly read the bird's genetic sequence to confirm its identification as a Red and not Parrot Crossbill. Luckily the bill shape left no room whatsoever to speculate in the direction of the rarity, so I was not hampered by my binocular's inability to penetrate the nuclear membrane.
You may argue now that I should reconsider my opinion on crossbill encounters. And you may be right. But then again, this exception to the rule may just be a feint to see me fall into even deeper despair at my next hearing but not seeing them in forests that are as dark and deep as the humour of the birding gods.
@Rick: Ha! I am not sure what such an approach would do to my reputation here in Germany, but will make it one of my life's goals to find Germany's first Scottish Crossbill!
Thank you… those are truly amazing photos! I've been birding for several years now, and have always wanted to see a crossbill. Your photos are almost as good as the real thing!
Thanks, Wendy! And good luck finding a crossbill!! I do hope you get to see one nicely, they are such charismatic birds!
Thanks, Clare! I am not entirely sure I will ever fully understand what happened last night (7:1 !!???), but it was just amazing to watch them play. Fingers crossed they win the cup!!!
They are wonderful birds. This is what makes seeing them only badly so frustrating, and seeing them nicely such a special treat.
@Jane Wilson: Thanks! And yes, indeed, this was a very, very special moment.

The products in our everyday world are as much a part of who we are as the friends we keep, according to Jordan Banks, the managing director of Facebook Canada.
For this reason, it's as natural for brands to be a part of our Facebook timeline as important life events like marriage, the birth of a child, or a new career, he said Tuesday during a lunchtime address to The Canadian Club of Ottawa.
In his presentation titled 'Organizations are better in a connected world,' Banks spoke of the early days of Internet, which began as rudimentary browsing and searching. It has evolved, he said, into a domain filled with social context.
"It was all about search," he said. "it had no social context; it was using an algorithm that had nothing to do with you.
"People want personalized, timely results that reflect who they are and what their friends are interested in," he said.

The challenge of opening up Government

Open government, open data and and open dialogue : These are the goals of Canada's Treasury Board President and Member of Parliament Tony Clement.
"Today, citizens demand more accountable and transparent government to know their tax dollars are being well managed," Clement said to a crowd gathered for a Third Tuesday event in Ottawa on Monday night (yes, I know.. not a Tuesday).
Clement spoke optimistically about social media platforms making it easier to engage with Canadians, and giving citizens more immediacy, and a "powerful way to create dialogue that can bring about better government."
He has big goals, great goals. But it's a huge shift. Clement's task is not unlike trying to turn an aircraft carrier around with a canoe paddle.

As we covered in our last post, one of the best ways to avoid falling prey to cybercriminals is to "think before you click" within incoming emails, to avoid reacting to an increasing abundance of phishing scams arriving in your inbox.
Once you're in the habit of watching for suspicious subject lines before even opening an email, how can you further differentiate legitimate queries from phishing most foul?
A stranger wants to be your friend.
The email is supposedly from someone you know, but it's not their usual style.
Someone claiming to represent a government agency, professional service provider, vendor, police department, charitable organization or other authority contacts you out of the blue, warning you about a risk, asking for personal information, encouraging you to take action, or enticing you with tempting offers.
Your gut is generally warning you: Something seems off.
Don't talk to strangers. Remember, most legitimate requests for information or online offers will only arrive in response to a specific query you've already made or an e-newsletter you've opted into – not by randomly landing in your inbox.
Before you click, hover. Before you click on anything, you can usually "hover" over or "right-click" on both a hyperlink as well as a sender's supposed email address, to view the actual, underlying link or address. The precise technique depends on the device you're using, but if the underlying link or email address is anything other than EXACTLY what you were expecting, do not click, no matter how legitimate the email may appear to be. Cyberthieves are getting very clever at looking legitimate, when they are not.
Close doesn't count. Sometimes, a link or address will be so "weird," it's obviously bogus. But not always. A malicious link or sender may display an address that is nearly, but not quite the same as a legitimate source, to trick you into trusting them. For example, instead of the sender being [email protected], it may be [email protected]amzon.com or [email protected]biz.
Take a sniff test. If you sense even a whiff of trouble in an email, don't click! Your odds of exposing yourself to malware is far higher than the risk you'll miss out on anything important if you ignore a call to action.
Go old school. If you do want to respond to what may be a legitimate request, instead of clicking on any links or replying to the email itself, look up the contact information for the legitimate source. Do this via Google, a phone book or a similar independent source. Do NOT use any of the contact information within a suspicious email itself. For example, say you receive a warning from the IRS, or an enticing offer from your bank. Look up the IRS's or the bank's phone number through legitimate channels and follow up with them directly.
So, definitely recruit technology to assist you in filtering out the junk. But keep up your own guard too – at work and at home. With regularity, it may be all that's standing between you and a cybercrime.
SAGE Serendipity: "Those phone calls and cards are a far cry from the five generic "happy birthday!'s" you write in a row on Facebook, or the cute, but dispassionate emojis you get on your wall from friends who really should have texted or called." Agreed! Quartz.com writes about Why A Paper Birthday Calendar Is So Much Better Than A Facebook Reminder.

PM praises archbishop's 'insights'
@martinkettle
Thu 19 Dec 2002 20.25 EST
Tony Blair spoke yesterday for the first time of his enthusiasm over the choice of Dr Rowan Williams as the new Archbishop of Canterbury.
On the day that the radical new head of the Anglican church warned in his Dimbleby lecture that politics was in danger of being reduced to "instantaneous button-pressing responses to surface needs", the prime minister praised Dr Williams for his "insights" and said he welcomed the role of church leaders in political debate.
Although Mr Blair formally recommended Dr Williams as the new head of the Church of England ear lier this year, he was widely assumed to be wary about the elevation of a bishop with radical views on war and inequality. But Mr Blair has now made clear that from the start of the nomination process, Dr Williams was always his preferred candidate to succeed Archbishop George Carey
"People always said to me at the time, 'But isn't it going to be difficult if he criticises on Iraq?'" Mr Blair said in his end-of-year Guardian interview. "But, contrary to what people say, I think it is fine. I think the church should always speak out where it feels strongly about things. I have always thought that."
Mr Blair took direct issue with Dr Williams's view in last night's lecture that consumerism was driving morality out of politics. The reason he was in favour of public service reform was "value driven", Mr Blair said. "These services are actually the route to social justice," he said. "So I am not sure I agree with that part of it."
Where he did agree with Dr Williams was that there were many things in the modern world that governments could not accomplish on their own.
"I think that what he is saying is two things: first of all, that people have to come together on a broader basis than simply the nation state in order to tackle these problems; and secondly, what he is saying is that all these great move ments should be managed according to certain key values - and that is where I suppose religion plays its part, because it can give values to that," Mr Blair told the Guardian.
In last night's lecture, Dr Williams warned that governments are less able now than they were in the past to give a moral lead which ordinary citizens can follow. The archbishop warned that government deregulation meant "the withdrawal of the state from many of those areas where it used to bring some kind of moral pressure to bear".

Before you cross the line from platonic to romantic, consider these critical distinctions. When you're taken though, this becomes harder to do because suddenly many of the people in our lives who we thought were platonic, start showing us a different side. If you're the one on the other side (debating telling someone that you like them as MORE than just a friend), please reconsider if they are taken.
I'm one of those girls: I like hanging with the boys.
Rather she will see that she is simply exploring the possibility of marriage with a brother in Christ.
In contrast, on entering a boyfriend/girlfriend relationship, a man and women will see themselves as entering a "new category" of relationship.
Whats the difference of exclusively dating/seeing each other and actually being girlfriend/boyfriend?
Does exclusively dating leave a gap to sleep with someone else without feeling guilty, because "oh its not like he/she is actually my bf/gf?
What is the difference between a boyfriend/girlfriend relationship involving two Christians and courting? I think one of the key differences can be summed up by a single word: 'BELONGING'. When I passed by you again and saw you, behold, you were at the age for love, and I spread the corner of my garment over you and covered your nakedness; I made my vow to you and entered into a covenant with you, declares the Lord Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh." This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church.
(Eph -32) Based on this understanding, when being courted, a girl will not see herself as being in a "new category" of relationship.
A boyfriend or girlfriend will buy you a gift and be done with it, but will happily enjoy the free booze you provided for the party that you planned yourself.However, it does not mean it's kind, loving or Christ-like for a man to pursue a woman and then pursue someone else at the same time (especially if he had communicated serious interest in her).When courting a woman, a guy will usually choose to not pursue anyone else.They will believe that they have left the "neighbour/friend category" and that they now exclusively to one another.

Hardcore Gamer Completes Popular Video Game 'The Legend Of Zelda' Blindfolded
Olumide
Drew Wissler, a.k.a Runnerguy2489, is the new superstar of the gaming world for his impressive feat of completing an entire video game (with all its levels and challenges) blindfolded. After 103 hours of sightless gameplay, he finally defeated the classic game The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time on October 14. Thousands of fans who watched the live stream were overcome with emotion after the monumental finish. Wissler himself reported that he "couldn't stop shaking".
Wissler, a speedrunning champion, was always obsessed with how quickly he could zip through video games. "I'm a runner in real life so I always compare it with that. How fast I can go," the young civil engineer said. It wasn't until 2007, when he came across a blind player looking for help to complete Ocarina of Time that he got interested in blindfolded play. "It seemed a neat challenge and I thought I could help him out," he said.
So he spent several hours per week understanding the game – which he had already mastered – from a blind person's perspective. As he mapped out a sightless path through the game, relying solely on his memory, he came to understand and appreciate it in new ways. He learned to pick up audio clues that he previously had not even noticed. "It showed how detailed the game really was," Wissler said. "I had done a lot of speedrunning and knew the game very well, but there's a lot of audio things you overlook as a sighted person."
As Wissler taught himself new techniques, he gradually progressed through the game and was eventually able to complete it from start to finish without sight. But he wasn't satisfied, because he'd left out many of the optional challenges included in Ocarina of Time. He wanted to beat the entire game, with 100% completion, collecting all the items and finishing all the side quests. So he decided to attempt it in snippets, live streaming his progress every Wednesday for his fans across the world. He started in 2014, and the last live stream of the 'Ocarina of Time100% Blindfolded Challenge' aired a year later, on October 14, 2015. He'd successfully completed the seemingly impossible challenge.

Rana Dasgupta dedicates Capital to "the unborn". Capital is not just a portrait of a city – it's a vision of the future. Delhi is portrayed as "hypermodern", not striving to catch up with the West, but a truly modern city, a megopolis, a place where "…people all over the world can find their destiny most clearly writ". This is a layered city, its shopping malls and fly-ways, its apartment blocks and ticky-tacky built upon the red bricks of the Mughal forts. The river here is the sacred Yamuna, now a sludge of sewage, plastics, rubbish and chemicals, all the city's waste freely flowing into it.
Dasgupta invokes T.S. Eliot's The Wasteland, and here, March is "the prettiest month", and the flowers are the flawless frangipani blooms, placed strategically around the gated and guarded communities, the glass mansions of the moneyed elite.
Through a series of interviews, Dasgupta non-judgmentally reveals the attitudes and hopes of Delhi's rich, the new Indian "middle" classes, not really in the middle, but living at the top, in glassed-in worlds. These people are Dasgupta's orphans, products of a place born out of invasions, migrations, massive disruptions and upheavals. They are the warriors, fighting for what can be gained, before it is taken. These orphans, "bred out of the baked land", carry the legacy of immense trauma, of the Partition, that great global event, its effects seeping out across the world. Delhi's super-rich, like the global super-rich in every country, live rootlessly, without real connection to the land or rivers, or the wider community, keeping money off-shore in Swiss bank accounts, sending their children to American schools. Delhi is a resource that can be exhausted before moving on.
For Dasgupta, Delhi is an example of what we are all heading towards. It is a Dystopian view, but toward the end of the book Dasgupta offers hope. This is a vision of the great Yamuna before it reaches the city, flowing clean and vital, under the infinite sky, and the knowledge that it was always here and will endure after the city is gone. Along with this, the certainty that new insights and visions will also be produced in the global world, and that this creativity can be a precursor to Utopian, rather than apocalyptic futures.
This is a disturbing, though beautifully written work. An important book for our times; I really recommend it.

A passenger was sexually assaulted by another passenger sitting next to her while being on board of the plane operated by the defendant Korean Air Lines. (The perpetrator was arrested upon arrival in Los Angeles, the plane's destination, and pled guilty in the Central District of California.) The plaintiff passenger sued the airline under the Warsaw Convention and sought summary judgment, which was denied.
Under the Warsaw Convention, air carriers are presumed to be liable for passenger injuries caused by an "accident." The court noted that there were two competing definitions of an "accident"--a narrower one that restricts the definition to incidents involving a characteristic risk of air travel, and a wider one involving any incident in the course of embarking, disembarking or on board of an aircraft. Without determining the definition, the court held that a sexual assault met even the narrower definition of an "accident," and found in favor of the plaintiff.
The law on air travel is always fascinating--an easy disproof for those who are skeptical of the truth that international law is indeed a law. There are few other areas of the law where there is essentially strict liability for anything that happens in a certain location.

The weather in Cyprus — when is the best time to plan your trip
If you want to spend time at the beach, the best time to come to Cyprus is from May to September. The highest temperatures (reaching 45°С) are from July to August, when water temperature reaches 28-30 °С.
If you are interested in exploring the island on foot or by car, you are best coming to Cyprus in the spring or the fall, when the weather is warm, but not hot. The water takes a while to cool down, which means that in October and November its temperature still fluctuates around 22-24 °С. The fall spells the advent of the green season, when nature comes back to life after the summer heat and the island's fields don a green coat until the summer.
Coming to Cyprus in the winter is perfect for those who want to take a break from the cold, by combining the pleasure of a walk on the beach with an opportunity to enjoy traditional winter sports. You can also spend Christmas and New Years in a mountain cabin. Winter temperature fluctuates between 10-20°С down on the coast and is lower up in the Troodos Mountains. Skiing resorts open up on the mountains with the advent of the snow season, while the coast tends to get more rainfall.
Obtaining a visa
Russian nationals need to apply for an entry visa to Cyprus. A Schengen visa allows you to enter Cyprus by plane and only if you have earlier entered one of the Schengen countries with it.
If you reside in St. Petersburg and its region, as well as Arkhangelsk (with the exception of the Nenetsk AO), Murmansk, Pskov, Novgorod region and the Republic of Karelia, you can apply for an entry visa by visiting the General Consulate of the Republic of Cyprus in St. Petersburg. You can apply for a one-time entry visa (maximum 90 day stay within a six-month period), by filling out an online application on the Consulate's website. You will receive a response to your request via email, which must be printed out and shown during an airport check-in.
Residents of other regions can fill out a visa application on the website of the Embassy of the Republic of Cyprus in Moscow.
To apply for a multi-entry visa you need to inquire with the General Consulate in St. Petersburg (for those who reside in St. Petersburg, Arkhangelsk (with the exception of the Nenetsk AO), Murmansk, Pskov and Novgorod regions as well as the Republic of Karelia). For all others, please inquire with the Cyprus Embassy in Moscow. The Consulate issues the visa on the day of the request, while the Embassy takes one business day.
There is no visa fee for Russian citizens.
You can also apply for a Cyprus visa via Pony Express, by inquiring with your region's branch. The company charges a fee for its service.
The General Consulate website contains a list of countries, whose citizens are exempt from applying for a 90-day visa.
Public transportation usually includes buses that follow a specific schedule and route. You can find out their schedule and route here.
Intercity Buses and the Travel Express minivan company provide intercity service.
Intercity Buses has the following route service:
Limassol-Pafos
Larnaca-Nicosia
Larnaca-Ayia Napa
Pafos-Nicosia
Limassol-Nicosia
Nicosia-Ayia Napa
You have a choice of buying one-time ticket or an unlimited ticket for a day/week/month for one of these routes or for all of them. You can find more information about the schedule, fees and bus stops on the company's website.
Travel Express offers intercity service and travels to specific tourist locations. You ask the company for a more convenient pick-up or drop-off location. You can also book an individual tour around Cyprus. Find out more about the schedule and fees on the company's website.
Renting a car in Cyprus
If you want to rent a car in Cyprus, you'll need an international driver's license. You can rent a car when you arrive at the airport or at your final destination. You can also pre-book a car online. The price depends on the type of car you rent and starts at approximately 50 euros a day. Cars drive on the left side of the road in Cyprus.
Shopping hours and 24-hour pharmacies
Most of the retails store open at 8 am and close between 5-6 pm. Sunday is a day off both for large supermarkets and small grocery stores. Wednesday is a «short day», when most of the stores close around 2 pm. An exception is larger shopping malls, such as MYMALL in Limassol, (whose hours are 10 am - 8 pm), Debenhams department stores, and the «Periptero» shops (small street shops and kiosks where you can buy ice cream, lemonade, alcohol, snacks, fruits and vegetables, beach accessories, souvenirs and cosmetics). Bakeries are open everyday.
Pharmacies in Cyprus have the same hours, but each city has a 24-hour pharmacy. To find a 24-hour pharmacy near you, click here.
If you want to visit the Turkish part of Nicosia
There are five checkpoints located along the border, which are controlled by the Republic of Cyprus and the self-proclaimed Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. These checkpoints are: Pyrgos, Astromeritis (on the way to Morfu), Ayios Dhometios (on the way to Kyrenia through Nicosia), a pedestrian checkpoint on Ledra Street in Nicosia and Strovilia (on the way to Famagusta). You'll need your passport to cross the «green line». If you want to travel north by car, you'll need to purchase car insurance. If you want to cross the border by foot, you can do so in the center of Nicosia on Ledra Street.

Yossi Fraenkel
Another new year... A new look... a great new sound....
A New CD is available now too.....
Call us an orchestra, call us a wedding band, call us a Chabad band, call us a Mizrahi band...call us anything you want...
you can even call us in the UK @ +44 (0) 7595 863 066! or email us @ yossi@jewishsinger.com
We have been performing for over 8 years at various weddings, Bar Mitzvahs, Sheva Brachot, corporate events, galas, and private parties throughout the world. We are a high-energy band consisting of a one man band to 50 piece orchestra plus a singer enabling us to play any style of music with authenticity, and have the ability to keep the dance floor packed at all times!
From the great stages of New York, London and Israel, Yossi Fraenkel has become an international superstar.
Mr. Fraenkel will very shortly start working on his debut solo album of his father Gershon Fraenkel's music. Though Mr. Fraenkel has performed with orchestras throughout the world, he has never forgotten his roots. He continues to perform traditional chassidic and yiddish music to audiences all over the world. To sum up the talents of Mr. Fraenkel, we quote "Mr. Fraenkel displays a talent that resists confinement and is an explosion of religious faith."
For over eight years I have had the merit to enhance the joy at many weddings throughout the spectrum of the community, Chassidic, Litvish, Ashkenazi and Sephardi. You may have seen me at at least one of these weddings standing on the stage singing and seeing to it that I bring joy and harmony to the bride and groom, their parents, their family and you, the guests.
Let me lead you for one moment into the depth of my heart to share with you a little secret. Each time before I go on stage I utter this short and heartfelt prayer.
"ריבון העולמים אתה שיושב ומכריז בת מי למי, אתה זה שאמרת והיה העולם, אתה זה שהמשלת את כנסת ישראל לכלתך, עמוד לצידם של בני הזוג שעומדים בשעות הקרובות לבנות את ביתם, תן להם את הכוח והכלים לבנותו איתן, השכן בביתם אהבה אחווה שלום, ורעות, מלה את משאלות ליבם לטובה, וההורים שבמשך שנים כה רבות גידלו אתת ילדיהם, השקיעו בהם את כל אשר להם, תן להם מלוא חופניים נחת, שיזכו לראות עוד חוליה בשרשרת הדורות, אמן"
"Master of the Universe You who declares that the daughter of such and such will marry such and such, You who spoke and the world came into being, You who acquire the people of Israel as Your bride stand behind this young couple who are about to build their home, give them the strength and the vessels with which to build it, establish in their home love, togetherness, peace and friendship, fulfill the desires of their hearts with goodness and their parents who over many years raised their children and invested in them everything that they have, give them full measure of nachas so that they should merit another link in the chain of generations. Amen."
I am sure that in the next wedding that you will hear me perform you will join the prayer of my heart and enjoy the music.
Our musicians hail from various places in the world. Israel, England, New York and in between. Many have performed with major acts worldwide.
The group is led by Yossi Fraenkel (vocalist, sales and party planning).
The main goal of this band is to make you get out of your seats and dance. And you will.
We can expand or subtract as needed for the party requirements.**
We do not need 8 extra singers to make a party happen, we can do it with 6, 7 8 pieces..there is the measure of true talent....keep it real..
We are not an agency, only one band.
It makes a difference!

«Звёздные вóйны: Видéния» () — анимационный телесериал-антология, созданный для американского стримингового сервиса Disney+. Сериал спродюсирован компанией Lucasfilm и состоит из нескольких короткометражных фильмов, происходящих в рамках медиафраншизы «Звёздные войны» или вдохновлённых ей.

Первый сезон, состоящий из девяти короткометражных аниме-фильмов, создан семью японскими анимационными студиями: Kamikaze Douga, , Geno Studio, Trigger, Kinema Citrus, Production I.G и . Создатели каждого из эпизодов имели возможность переосмыслить идеи «Звёздных войн» на свой лад, при этом работая под надзором руководства Lucasfilm. Первый сезон был выпущен 22 сентября 2021 года и получил положительные отзывы от критиков.

Второй сезон, состоящий из короткометражек от студий из Японии, Индии, Великобритании, Ирландии, Испании, Чили, Франции, Южной Африки и США, выйдет 4 мая 2023 года.

Сюжет
Антология состоит из девяти эпизодов, каждый из которых имеет оригинальный сюжет, связанный с вселенной Звёздных войн. «Видения» не войдут в официальный канон саги: они включат альтернативные трактовки ряда сюжетных линий. Продюсеры изначально предоставили создателям антологии максимальный творческий простор.

Действие эпизода «Лоп и Очо» разворачивается в эпоху Галактической империи между событиями, показанными в фильмах «Звёздные войны. Эпизод III: Месть ситхов» и «Звёздные войны: Новая надежда». Действие «Старшего» относится ко времени до «Скрытой угрозы», тогда как близнецы в одноимённом эпизоде задействуют остатки имперской армии после событий, показанных в картине «Звёздные войны: Скайуокер. Восход». «Девятый джедай» показывает, что происходило с джедаями после «Восхода».

Производство и премьера

Justice is not always blind and seldom is it colorblind. But, can a blind judge bring us closer to that ideal? A Michigan attorney from a family of professional lawyers wants us to think so. The well known Bernstein law firm is run by daddy Sam and his siblings. So, the name Bernstein was worth a million dollars in campaign advertisements to Attorney Richard Bernstein in his contest for a seat on the Michigan Supreme Court. He began with name recognition that was off the charts.
"I want to bring blind justice to the Michigan Supreme Court," said Detroit-area attorney Richard Bernstein as a Michigan Supreme Court candidate. Highlighting his struggles in education and his work as a legal advocate for the disabled.
"I have come to believe that life is not always fair, but judges should always be," Bernstein said. "I'm here because I believe in the idea of blind justice. I'm here because I believe in the idea of fairness for all people."
Legally blind since birth, Mr. Bernstein will get the chance on New Year's Day 2015 when he's sworn into office and makes history as the first blind person to serve on the state's highest court.
"It would be much easier if I could read and write like everyone else, but that's not how I was created," Bernstein said. "No question, it requires a lot more work, but the flip side is it requires you to operate at the highest level of preparedness. ... This is what I've done my entire life. This goes all the way back to grade school for me." This is his second bid for statewide office - he ran for attorney general four years ago but lost the Democratic nomination.
As one of only two Democrats on the seven-member court, Bernstein is unlikely to crack the court's conservative sway. But he's still expected to make a difference.
"My chambers will be unique," he said. "Not many clerks will have as much interaction with a justice as mine will." In November, he was elected to an eight-year term. He's not the first blind judge to sit on the highest court of a state.
Missouri Supreme Court Justice Richard B. Teitelman, who is legally blind, was appointed to the court in 2002. On the federal level, there's David Tatel, a blind judge serving on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
To help prepare Mr. Bernstein for his first set of oral arguments on Jan. 13, an assistant has been reading him briefs.

El baile fusión es un tipo de baile contemporáneo en pareja que combina diferentes estilos de baile para crear una nueva estética. Por lo general, es un enfoque de baile improvisado y directo que no se ajusta a ningún estilo de baile definido en particular. El baile fusión puede implicar la creación de un nuevo estilo de baile, la combinación de estilos existentes, o ambos.

Técnica
El baile fusión puede emplear cualquier técnica de baile, o combinación arbitraria de técnicas, asociada con cualquier tipo de baile. Por lo general, incorpora técnicas de asociación de baile como conexión, extensión-compresión y marco, y también puede utilizar otras técnicas como la técnica de ballet, el contact improvisación y el popping.

Música
El baile fusión enfatiza la musicalidad. El estilo musical puede influir en la elección del estilo de baile de un bailarín de fusión. Por ejemplo, un bailarín podría utilizar popping en respuesta a la música hip hop.

Festivales de fusión
Los «festivales de fusión» se llevan a cabo en varios lugares en los Estados Unidos. Estos son típicamente eventos de tres días en los que se enseñan diversos estilos de danza durante el día y se realizan bailes sociales por las noches. Algunos festivales enfatizan estilos de baile específicos, como el tango argentino, el slow lindy hop, el west coast swing o el baile blues, mientras que otros abarcan todos los estilos de baile.

Cats love to chase and pounce. If you have had a fly or spider in your house then you will probably have seen your cats staring at these insects for hours and then trying to catch them. Well, the Lictin butterfly cat toy allows your cat to watch, pounce and chase a flying 'insect' without causing harm to a living animal.
Whilst it is often great to spend hours playing with your cat as well. Sometimes our busy lives get in the way and if your cat wants to play and you need to work then what do you do? Well, this cute butterfly cat toy is completely automated. Just switch it on, step back and watch your cat start to play.
Lictin Butterfly Cat Toy – Is It Fun?
Well, actually it is a pretty fun toy. The butterfly is attached to a metal wand and this rotates through a complete 360 degrees. Making this even cuter, the actual base station of the butterfly cat toy is shaped like a large daisy. And if you have hard wood floors then this cat toy also has skid free feet – so it should stay in one place.
Getting everything set up is pretty simple. The leaf area of the daisy holds the 1 AAA battery that is needed for this to operate. Just pop the battery into the green leaf-like area. Put the battery area onto the daisy flower and then stick the fastening tape to the back of the battery compartment.
This is very much a cheap and cheerful cat toy as you just get one on/off switch and there are no settings to be able to alter the speed of the toy. However, this simplicity is balanced by the low price for this toy. Automatic cat toys are usually rather expensive but this is definitely not expensive.
Even though the butterfly cat toy is cheap and cheerful it is a lot of fun. Just switch it on and the butterfly starts rotating through its 360-degree path. And because it is attached to a wand it also jiggles around as it travels. This movement will really attract the attention of your cats. And even if they are wary at first, pretty soon they will be more interested in this toy than the fly that just flew into your house.
Is the Lictin butterfly cat toy perfect? Well no, I can definitely say that it is not perfect. It does seem to be cheaply made but for the price, this is not such an issue. The wand does seem a little flimsy though. Overall though if you are looking for an automated cat toy which does not break the bank then the Lictin rotating butterfly cat toy might suit your needs.

Neither their best nor their worst. Those gilded age moguls certainly liked to style themselves as Italian Renaissance noblement, didn't they?
Thomas Newbold was a cousin of Edith Wharton, no?
Down East ~ it was Newbold Morris who was Edith Wharton's first cousin, and both had houses in Lenox Mass. designed by architect Francis L.V. Hoppin. "Brookhurst" and "The Mount" respectively. As you know, Lenox was 'The Inland Newport' !
Thank you, ChipSF ! I had forgotten about Thomas Newbold and Bellefield/ Beatrix Farrand connections at Hyde Park. This 'Old Dog' must be getting Older !
I really meant, in my indirect way, that Edith Wharton WAS a cousin of Newbold Morris (I've been re-reading Anthony Powell's "Dance to the Music of Time" for no good reason---and those double negative sentences that he so loved are spilling over into my real time conversaion). Clement Newbold was also a cousin, and had a big place in Bar Harbor, earlier occupied by W.H. Vanderbilt, and directly next door to Wharton's sister-in-law Minnie Jones, mother of Beatrix Farrand.

A Poster Honoring Pauline Dolinsky from the Collection of Yeshiva University Museum
YU Museum
This poster honoring Pauline Dolinsky is dated December 26, 1918, just over two decades after the founding of the Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary (RIETS). Its highly stylized text contains a resolution passed jointly by the Women's Branch of Yeshivat Rabbi Yizchak Elchonan [sic] and the Ladies' Kohl [sic] Aid Society to honor the hard work of their shared president, Pauline Dolinsky.
Tribute Poster in Honor of Pauline Dolinsky, New York, 1918
YUM Collection 1991.079
Pauline (Peshe Elke) was born in 1863, in the Pale of Settlement, to Joseph and Sarah Breger. She immigrated to New York in 1881 at the age of 18 and probably worked in the sewing industry for about four years. In 1885, Pauline married Hyman Dolinsky, a textile merchant who hailed from Vasilishok (Vasilishki), a small town between Grodno and Lida.
The Dolinsky family's wealth slowly grew over the next two decades. By 1900, the family had a live-in maid in their apartment on Broome Street. At around this time, the family began to support their synagogue, Adath Israel of New York, as well as the fledgling RIETS. Pauline became active in community service in 1910 after her children had become old enough not to need her.

In 1910, Pauline Dolinsky worked to start two schools and one charity: the Hebrew Day Nursery of Montgomery Street, also known as the Gan Yelodim; the Tifereth Jerusalem Talmud Torah, which would grow to become the Mesivta Tifereth Jerusalem in the 1930s; and the Ladies' Coal Aid Society, whose goal was to provide coal to poor families in New York to heat their homes over the winter. Pauline also became the vice president of the Ladies' Branch of RIETS in 1910, and was appointed president in 1914.
The Ladies' Branch functioned both as a fundraising arm of the yeshiva and the department in charge of arranging for the room, board, and laundry of the students of RIETS. Pauline Dolinsky was credited with serving the food for a Simchat Beit Hashoeivah held by some of the students of RIETS during Sukkot of 1917. Women like Pauline Dolinsky, who acted in service of the Yeshiva, were relegated to gendered roles.
Hyman Dolinsky passed away suddenly in 1916. Pauline continued to work for the institutions that she helped to create, while also taking on some of the responsibilities of her deceased husband. She took over his business as a proprietor for the Hydol Plush Manufacturing Company and continued to sustain the schools and charities they had both supported.
The exact impetus for the 1918 joint resolution of the Ladies' Branch of RIETS and the Ladies' Coal Aid Society is not identified in this poster. However, this poster still provides a small but profound glimpse into the workings of the early days of RIETS from an interesting source.

PROPOSALS to suspend the Internet connections of people caught illegally downloading copyrighted files will cost each UK broadband customer about £25 a year, according to BT.
The proposals are being driven by business secretary Peter Mandelson as a means of curbing illegal downloads, which allegedly are eating into the profits of the UK's entertainment industry.
John Petter, BT's consumer division boss, said policing downloads could cost the industry about £1 million a day.
Petter said that because broadband is a thin-margin business, there is no way any ISP, including BT, would be able to absorb the cost so it would have to be passed on to consumers.
A BT spokesman said the main cost would be the integration of new technology into the network to allow ISPs to track downloaders. Other overheads would include the costs of notifying and educating consumers on the new policy as well as enforcement costs.
'We feel that instead music labels should develop new business models,' said the spokesman.
'At the moment, they just want to outsource all their problems to ISPs. Legislation before the introduction of Digital Britain did allow music labels to go after people that downloaded copyrighted music, but they did not take advantage of it because it would have generated bad PR for themselves,' the spokesman added.
No ISP has come out in support of Mandelson's proposals, which came as a surprise to the industry given that such a move was specifically ruled out by the government's Digital Britain report in June.
Earlier this month, the chief executives of Britain's biggest internet providers, including BT, united to criticise the government's latest plans.
BT's Ian Livingston, Carphone Warehouse's Charles Dunstone and Orange's Tom Alexander said because the vast majority of their customers do not illegally download content, many innocent customers would suffer as a result of Mandelson's proposals.
The Internet Service Providers Association (ISPA) also registered its disappointment with the government's apparent U-turn. The ISPA has pointed out that policing downloads could contravene data protection laws that prevent ISPs from looking at the content of information over their networks.

A Škoda 7.5 cm Gebirgskanone M.15 egy 7.5 cm űrméretű, L/15 csőhosszúságú, könnyű hegyi ágyú. A pilseni Škoda művekben 1911 és 1914 között fejlesztették, hadrendbe 1915 áprilisától állították az Osztrák–Magyar Monarchia hadseregeiben.

Leírás
Azért, hogy az ágyú tömegén könnyíteni tudjanak, a lövegcső különleges felépítésű volt. Holt teher (ballaszt) alkalmazásával a hátrasikló tömeget növelték meg a stabilitás érdekében. A lövegcső fölé egy külön burokcsövet építettek be, hogy növeljék a tömeget. A löveg vízszintesen mozgó ékzárral, ismétlőfeszítő berendezéssel volt ellátva. A hátrasiklást hidraulikus fék, az előretolást rugós helyretoló végezte. A hátrasiklás hossza önműködően szabályozódott, köszönhetően az aránylag alacsony tüzelőmagasságnak és a nagy cső-emelkedésnek. A lövegtalp szekrényes szerkezetű volt és ugyanúgy egységekre lehetett bontani, mint a kétrészes lövegpajzsot.

Hét egységre lehetett szétszedni, de általában csak 4 darabra bontották. Az egyes darabok közel azonos súlyúak voltak: cső 106 kg, pajzs és szerelvények: 86 kg, bölcső 98 kg, kerekek 95 kg, lövegtalp eleje 110 kg, lövegtalp hátulja 52 kg. A szét- és összeszereléshez, valamint a kézi szállításhoz 23 katona kellett: a szétszedett lövegtalpat csak 7 fő tudta szállítani, míg a többi darabhoz 4-4 fő kellett. Amennyiben lovon vagy öszvéren szállították, úgy három rakományt alakítottak ki belőle és minden egyes rakományt egy-egy lóra málháztak fel. Tüzelés alatt 6 fő kellett a kiszolgáláshoz.

Lőszer

Az ágyúhoz négy fajta lőszert rendszeresítettek.

 Nagy rombolóerejű gránát: M14 vagy M14a típust használtak. Ezek súlya 6.3 kg volt és a robbanófej ekrazittal volt töltve.
 Srapnel gránát
 Nagy rombolóerejű srapnelgránát (súlya 6.5 kg)
 egyes vélekedések szerint a vegyiharc gránátot is ki tudta lőni

A hajító töltet három részre volt bontva (Teilladungen) és volt még egy kiegészítő töltet is (Zusatzladung) rendszeresítve. A több darabból álló hajítótöltetnek és a nagy magassági irányzásnak (+50°) köszönhetően tarackként is használható volt. A kiegészítő töltet a lőtávolságot kb. 1000 méterrel növelte meg.

Alkalmazása

Osztrák–Magyar Monarchia

A monarchia hadereje számára csak 1915 áprilisától állt rendelkezésre ez a tüzérségi eszköz. A háború alatt 1812 db készült belőle Pilsenben (1915-ben 324 db, 1916-ban 620 db, 1917-ben 860 db, 1918-ban 240 db) és a Rábával közreműködve még 220 db.

A fegyvert a Hegyi Tüzér Ezredek (Gebirgs-Artillerie-Regimenter) kapták meg, amiből 1914-ben 14 db volt felállítva, míg 1918-ban már 28. Minden ezred 6 hegyi ágyú üteggel és 3 hegyi tarack üteggel rendelkezett, ütegenként 6-6 löveggel. Ez a papírformát tükrözi, a valóságban ettől sokszor eltértek. Néhány hadtestnél a hagyományos tábori tüzér ezredet is a hegyi tüzér ezred helyettesítette. Az ezredek új löveggel való feltöltése a háború kezdetén lassan haladt: 1915 első felében csak 76 db M.15-öst adtak át, míg az év második felében közel 250 db-ot (252 db csövet és 248 db lövegtalpat).

Német Birodalom

Néhány ágyút az I. világháború alatt vásároltak. Ezeket gyalogsági lövegként, közvetlen tűztámogatáshoz alkalmazták. Több probléma is adódott a hosszan tartó, döcögős menetek alkalmával - elhagyták az ágyú egyes darabjait vagy a kötések fellazultak - ezért nem igazán kedvelték a csapatok. További probléma volt a kis méretű kerék, ami miatt a göröngyös utakon a löveg "ugrált", valamint a gyenge lőszerre is panaszkodtak. A lőszer gyenge átütő képessége miatt csak korlátozottan tudták az Antant tankjai ellen ütközetbe vetni.

Oszmán Birodalom
Az Oszmán hadsereg 144 db hegyi ágyút szerzett be Ausztria-Magyarországtól az első világháború folyamán.

Bolgár Királyság
Bulgária 1917-ben rendszeresítette, majd 1918-ban zsákmányolt is a Szerb és a Görög hadseregtől kb. 30 darabot. Jelölése 7.5-cm D/15 planisko Skoda Obr. 1915 g volt.

Csehszlovákia

Csehszlovákiában 1920 és 1924 között körülbelül 500 darabot gyártottak le ebből a típusú ágyúból. A későbbiek folyamán modernizálták a fegyvert, amit Škoda 75 mm, model 1928 néven állítottak hadrendbe.

Magyar Királyság

Magyarország hadereje is az Osztrák–Magyar Monarchiától örökölt lövegeket állította harcrendbe. A '30-as évek elején modernizálták a fegyvert és 7,5 cm Hegyi ágyú 15/35M néven a huszároknál és a hegyi csapatoknál rendszeresítették.

A "huszár ágyút" négyes vagy hatos fogattal vontatták, aminek része volt a lövegmozdony is. A kiszolgáló személyzet 1+6 fő volt és 5 perc állt a rendelkezésükre a tűzkész állapothoz.

Olasz Királyság

Olaszország az I. világháború végeztével 392 db hegyi ágyút zsákmányolt Ausztria-Magyarországtól. Ezek közül 268 db-ot tudtak helyreállítani és hadrendbe állítani. Később aztán, a 20-as években több darabot eladtak Albániának illetve ismeretlen számú fegyvert Magyarországnak is. Harci alkalmazására Görögország és Jugoszlávia ellen került sor. Több változata létezett ezek jelölése:
 Obice da 75/13 modello 15
 Obice da 75/13 modello 15 PB
 Obice da 75/13 modello 15 [Variant 1]

Görög Királyság

Görögország Skoda hegyiágyúit a szerb és a bolgár hadseregtől zsákmányolta, ezek azután 1941-ben Olaszországhoz kerültek.

Román Királyság

Románia az Osztrák–Magyar Monarchiától zsákmányolt és helyreállított löveganyaggal rendelkezett, melyet aztán a II. világháborúban be is vetett. Megnevezése 75mm Tunul de munte Skoda md. 1915 volt.

Jugoszlávia

Jugoszlávia az osztrák–magyar és szerb löveganyagból szerzett be ilyen típusú hegyi ágyúkat, amelyeket aztán 1941-ben bevetettek a németek és az olaszok ellen is. 1945-ben kb. 50 db ágyúja volt Jugoszláviának amit a németektől zsákmányoltak a II. világháború folyamán. Bridski top 75mm M.15 volt a helyi megnevezése.

Albán Királyság

Albánia a 20-as években szerzett be ismeretlen számú ágyút Olaszországtól, melyek aztán 1939-ben visszakerültek az eladóhoz. A második világháború után a németektől zsákmányolt fegyvereket kapott az ország.

Nacionalista Spanyolország

A Spanyol Polgárháborúban a Nacionalista erők is rendelkeztek ezzel a típusú fegyverrel, melyek olasz és lengyel forrásból származtak.

Lengyelország

A Lengyel haderő is az osztrák–magyar hadsereg készletéből kapta ezt a típusú hegyi ágyút, amit 75mm armata gróska Wz. 1915 néven állított hadrendbe. A '20-as években ezekből adott el a Spanyol Hadsereg részére több darabot.

Kolumbia

Kolumbia 1933-ban ismeretlen számú ágyút szerzett be Csehszlovákiától, melyeket a Peru ellen viselt háborújában be is vetette.

Harmadik Birodalom

A Harmadik Birodalom Škoda hegyi ágyúi több forrásból származtak. Egy részük még az első világháború idejéből maradt de a legtöbbet a második világháború alatt zsákmányolták. Sorrendben a következő országok löveganyagát állította harcrendbe: Ausztria (GebK15(ö)), Csehszlovákia (GebK17(t)), Jugoszlávia (GebK259(j)), Olaszország (GebK259(i)).

Ezen fegyvereket mind a Wehrmacht, mind a Waffen SS, mind a Luftwaffe alakulatainál meg lehetett találni.

Szlovákia

Az Első Szlovák Köztársaság hadereje az egykori csehszlovák készletekből 14 darabot kapott német közvetítéssel. Ezen felül még kb. 28 darabbal rendelkezett. Hivatalos neve 7.5 cm horsky kanon vz.15 volt.

Független Horvát Állam
A Horvát hadsereg a németektől kapott ebből a fajta lövegből, mely eredetileg a Jugoszláv hadseregé volt. A fegyvereket 7.5 cm GebK 259(j) néven rendszeresítették.

Beyoncé doesn't shy away from controversy with 'Lemonade'
By Adam Howard
On the heels of her controversial "Formation" music video and Super Bowl performance, pop star Beyoncé released yet another provocation this weekend in the form of a full-length visual album, "Lemonade."
It was perhaps fitting that "Lemonade" should arrive so soon after the death of Prince, an artist who, like Beyoncé, seemed more comfortable making personal statements through their music than traditional sit-down interviews.
For hardcore Beyoncé fans, "Lemonade" is the culmination of what has become an evolving narrative that has spanned just over a decade worth of solo albums. And while there are plenty of lyrical red flags that will have rumor mills buzzing – are the album's frequent allusions to infidelity about her husband, rapper Jay-Z, or her father and former manager Mathew Knowles? – it may be the album's politically charged content that has the most staying power.

With "Lemonade," Beyoncé has cemented her status as an artist who requires our attention and must be taken seriously. Even if one is not a fan or her music or persona, she has the influence and reach to start national conversations and establish trends. When she stood boldly before the word feminist on stage two years ago at the MTV Video Music Awards, or in this new project when she pointedly appears in a black hoodie, her actions have consequences and speak to broader constituencies than anyone else in music – for better or worse.
Beyoncé's #Lemonade was at once a personal essay, visual album, and documentary: https://t.co/KRrYgnBAdo pic.twitter.com/8nwTA0TrmL
— New York Magazine (@NYMag) April 25, 2016
The "worse" could be accusations of cultural appropriation and anti-police bias, both of which have been levied at the "Single Ladies" singer in the past year. And yet, viewers of "Lemonade" saw no contrition from the star. If anything they saw defiance.
"I like that she doesn't feel compelled to defend herself from typically stupid speculation," Ebony magazine columnist Michael Arceneaux told MSNBC on Monday. "I think Beyoncé does a very good at understanding how media and social media work now, but not caving to it."
The visually astounding vignettes in "Lemonade" – broken up with spoken word poetry performed by Beyoncé but penned by Warsan Shire – continue the unapologetically black and at times rural tableau of "Formation." The singer also appears with the mothers of Trayvon Martin, Eric Garner and Michael Brown in a poignant reverie.
There were also more subtle nods to the singer's growing consciousness. Besides the hoodie, Beyoncé samples a legendary Malcolm X speech from 1962 in which he laments the fact that "the most disrespected person in America is the black woman;" she features black female celebrities who have either been publicly shamed for their curvaceous bodies (Serena Williams) or their natural hair (Zendaya, Quvenzhane Wallis and her own daughter Blue Ivy); includes shots of gay and lesbian couples in a song about love; and, in keeping with her pro-women message, she refers to God as "herself" in song.
In one of the album's most striking visuals – during the rousing, gospel-tinged song "Freedom," Beyoncé delivers what feels like a sermon to an audience of African-American mothers whose sons have been slain. "Freedom! Freedom! I can't move/Freedom, cut me loose!/Singin', freedom! Freedom! Where are you?/Cause I need freedom too!" she sings.
" 'Lemonade' was about being a black woman in America and reflecting on our lineage as a collective and our experience as a whole," Taj Rani, a content producer for Essence.com, told MSNBC on Monday. "It's not just about romance, it's about the relationship that black women have with society, the men in our lives."
" 'Lemonade' was a gift from Beyoncé to us, wrapped in shiny wrapping paper with a red bow," she added. "To incorporate black women throughout top to bottom so that we can see ourselves was priceless."
The liberation theme has run through much of Beyoncé's work – from "Run the World (Girls)" to "Pretty Hurts" – and it's grown more pronounced in her recent output. In her music video for "Formation," she included a hoodie-clad young black boy furiously dancing in front of armed police, who throw up their hands with exasperation in the face of the child's grace. In her striking Super Bowl performance this February, she appeared flanked by black women in berets, a direct homage to the Black Panthers.
It was that choice in particular that led some to suggest that the singer could be inciting violence with her performances and visual aesthetic. "Saturday Night Live" even recently parodied the hysteria over her new tone with an uproarious sketch titled, "The Day Beyoncé Turned Black." Naturally, fans who have followed the singer since her days as the breakout star of Destiny's Child, would maintain that her sound and persona have always been deeply rooted in her black cultural heritage.
Meanwhile, Beyoncé herself appears to be undeterred by her haters and is making no apologies. In the video for "Hold Up," a track off her new album, she gleefully takes a baseball bat to the city streets, destroying property at will without reprisal (leading The Drudge Report to label her an "urban terrorist"), while onlookers can only watch in awe.
It's an image that perhaps speaks more effectively than any retort in print ever could.
